The Beginner's Guide offers a personal and sometimes eerie perspective on amateur game development.
Destiny's biggest expansion to date makes the game a whole lot more enjoyable and easier to recommend.
Game »
consists of 4 releases.
Released Sep 22, 2008
Used in puzzle games to be broken, moved, or matched by color, shape and size. Also used in many early 3D polygonal games. Not to be confused with Squares or Cubes.
A bomb is an explosive device.
Object used to make up a skeleton or skeletal frame.
A large rock that sometimes falls from the sky.
Cages are often used to house prisoners or animals. Other cages are used to confine combatants.
The Original artillery, and first naval weapon. Cannon's fire massive Iron cannon balls using gun powder and a match to set off the charge in the barrel send the ball at the enemy.
A delicious substance that makes even the most cold-hearted person cry out, "Yum!"
Coins have long been used in video games as both a form of currency and as a means of accruing points.
A moving belt that transports objects (and player characters and non-player characters) from one place to another.
A hard native crystalline carbon valued as a gem.
Facial hair consists of anything from a mustache to sideburns. Facial hair has been a close friend of gaming from the beginning.
Some games include flatulence as a game mechanic or sometimes it's just something a character does.
Petaled parts of plants that are often fragrant and vibrantly colored; occasionally games task players with collecting flowers.
The preserved remains from a once living organism.
Garlic is used primarily to fend off vampires. In Wario's case, he just likes it.
A bag, usually cloth, containing a whole lot of money.
The manliest type of facial hair.
A tropical tree. Recognizable by its tall stem and evergreen top.
This be a ship owned by pirate scum, usually with skull 'n' crossbones flags and cannons. Arrrrrgh!
It gives meaning to gravity in 2 dimensions.
There is no other object which so defines Games as separate from every other pursuit. Where else does one encounter a platform but from the bounds of a video screen?
...except for delivery men.
Sand is a fine, granular material composed mainly of rock and mineral, primarily silica. Sand is the primary environment of many games with settings that include deserts, beaches, and the ocean floor, among many others.
Spikes are dangerous and often deadly obstacles that can line the floor, walls, or ceiling of any given room or passageway. They are an extremely common form of environmental hazard, particularly in side-scrolling games.
Typically used to give information to road users.

Mt. Everest: Birthday Celebration & Summit Climb
Posted by: Mark Tucker, Dave Hahn, Seth Waterfall | May 22, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Everest
Elevation: 17,575'
The climbing team is at Camp 4 readying for their summit bid on Mt. Everest tonight. For me, that means sleeping in the communication tent tonight. Dave and Seth will get some rest at the South Col. Hopefully a few hours of sleep but very important time for resting, hydrating and self care. Can you believe they are just hours away from the start of the Summit push? Kaji, Tshering and Geldgen our super Sherpa put Camp 4 together before Dave and Seth arrived. Nice work boys! Our Sherpa staff are doing fine as well.
I celebrated another birthday (twelfth time I guess) here on the Big E yesterday. Our wonderful Sherpa staff at Everest Base Camp had all the trimmings for me. I enjoyed a moonlight hike, no headlight needed, a very peaceful and surreal scene surrounding the jaunt. This is a truly amazing place to spend time. The horseshoe pit is still up and it's tough to get the better of me on the home pit advantage.
I'll be sending updates on the team's progress as they attempt to summit Mt. Everest tonight. Good luck!

THE design of Ruskin's esthetics is, as I have shown, conditioned very largely by the nature of his moral philosophy; but this moral matter itself is far less systematic than the esthetic propositions that apply to the fine arts. It is a most unsubstantial mixture of the sands of doctrine and the cement of faith. It is interesting mainly because it is so representative of the period in which Ruskin lived, so characteristic of the material from which Victorian temples of the spirit were built. Changes in religious faith and variety in moral concepts in the years from 1830 to 1880 are legion; contradiction and inconsistency were, as always, the result of powerful traditions struggling for supremacy not only in the attitude of groups or schools, but within the behavior and thought of individuals.
The "high seriousness" toward God, nature and moral law, characteristic of Ruskin's period, rises from three general traditions which are roughly parallel to the esthetic traditions reviewed at the beginning of this essay. For instance, the tradition of moral fear with its roots in Pauline doctrine dominated the minds not only of Evangelicals but of many prominent "Noetics," such as Thomas Arnold and Richard Whately. To a greater or less degree it exploited the sense of sin, objectified evil, and rejoiced in affliction; the theology behind it was

Update on JairoJairo is 35 years old and a Kiva borrower. He feels very thankful for the Kiva loan. It was a big help because he could invest it in his business, buying high-demand products like rice, sugar, sodas, oats, soap, and pay for the labor costs of sowing the land. When he is not sowing, he is working in his business of the local convenience store. It is for that reason that today he is applying for his third loan in order to buy new products like bedspreads, towels, sugar, chicken, toilet paper, milk, oil, etc, with the intention of increasing his income in order to give a better quality of life for his family.
Previous Loan DetailsJairo relates that he used the first loan he got from Kiva through MiCredito to buy bedspreads to sell which improved his business inventory; he also bought various products and plastic items to sell. He's very grateful for the opportunity he got through the loan. He will use this new loan to... More from Jairo's previous loan »
Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

the promise of the most hopeful theories is so often deceptive, that it is frequently the wiser part to uphold the existing state of things, if it can be done, even though, in point of argument, it should be utterly indefensible. (QR, 117, 1865, 550)He took an enthusiastic part in 1866 in the Conservative Party's resistance to the Franchise Bill brought in by Russell and Gladstone, Lord Stanley classing him among those who abhor the idea of compromise, and enjoy a fight for its own sake (J. Vincent, ed., Disraeli, Derby and the Conservative Party, 1978, 251). When the ministry fell, he became, on 6 July 1866, secretary of state for India in Lord Derby's third cabinet. He at once impressed the House of Commons with his characteristic rapidity in mastering a brief by successfully introducing the Indian budget after less than a fortnight in office, but his main concern was soon the efforts of the government to settle the reform question, despite its lack of a Commons majority. Cranborne was initially prepared to agree to the apparently radical proposal of household suffrage in borough constituencies, so long as it was restricted by the requirement of personal payment of rates and counterpoised by extra votes according to rateable value or house-tax payments. By February 1867, however, he had become convinced that Disraeli was trying to hustle his colleagues into a dangerously large measure. He secured acceptance of a £5 rating franchise as the basis of the government's proposals, but three days later Derby and Disraeli reverted to the plan of rated household suffrage with plural voting as the likeliest ground of a settlement. When the cabinet discussed the plan on Saturday 23 February, Cranborne was already calculating its effects on the constituencies. Concluding on the Sunday that in the smaller boroughs plural voting would not counterbalance household suffrage, so that some three-fifths of the constituencies would be controlled by the new voters, he wrote a letter which obliged Derby to hold a cabinet next day, less than two hours before the proposed bill was to be outlined to a party meeting as a prelude to Disraeli's presenting it in the Commons. Threatened with the resignations of Cranborne, the earl of Carnarvon, and General Peel, the cabinet cobbled together a plan on a £6 rating basis; but it was soon clear that the Commons would not have it and that a substantial body of Conservative members thought household suffrage the only recipe for success. When household suffrage was reinstated at the cabinet of 2 March, Cranborne, Carnarvon, and Peel resigned.
The plan which I prefer is frankly to acknowledge that the nation is our Master, though the House of Commons is not, and to yield our opinion only when the judgement of the nation has been challenged at the polls and decidedly expressed. (Cecil, Life, 2.26)He saw that approach as (1) Theoretically sound, (2) Popular, (3) Safe against agitation, and (4) so rarely applicable as practically to place little fetter upon our independence (ibid.).
this,which is called self-government, but is really government by the majority,works admirably when it is confided to people who are of Teutonic race, but … does not work so well when people of other races are called upon to join in it; (Cecil, Life, 3.302)and he called for twenty years of resolute and consistent government of Ireland. Any possibility that had existed of a bipartisan approach to the Irish question had been overwhelmed by the attraction for Salisbury of a ferocious defence of the union with Ireland which would affirm the Conservatives' claim to be the party of nation and empire, rally the widespread popular anti-Irish prejudice of the large towns which had proved a novel source of Conservative strength in the 1885 election, and precipitate the realignment of the whigs with the Conservative Party which would bring political life into line with his political logic. Conservatives and Liberal Unionists together defeated the Home Rule Bill in the Commons on 8 June 1886, and in the ensuing general election the two groups working in alliance secured an overwhelming anti-home-rule majority, 316 Conservatives and 79 Liberal Unionists being returned. Salisbury professed willingness to serve under Hartington in a Unionist coalition, but, designedly or not, he had defined his stance in terms too uncompromisingly tory for the Liberal Unionists to be able to enter the Conservative-dominated government, which he stipulated, and following Gladstone's resignation on 20 July he resumed the office of prime minister (25 July), which he would hold for thirteen of the next sixteen years.
that we shall give some satisfaction to both classes and masses. This is specially difficult with the classesbecause all legislation is rather unwelcome to them, as tending to disturb a state of things with which they are satisfied. It is evident, therefore, that we must work at less speed, & at a lower temperature, than our opponents. Our bills must be tentative and cautious; not sweeping & dramatic. But I believe that with patience, feeling our way as we go, we may get the one element to concede, & the other to forbear. (Marsh, 80)His acceptance of the need for some legislative concession by the classes reflected the change of life from thirty-three years in which he had sat in parliament with a Liberal majority in the Commons for all but six of them, to an epoch in which it began to seem possible that the junction of all the Conservative elements of the country in defence of the union would deposit the legislative machinery in safe hands for most of the time. The conduct of opposition was giving way to the practice of government, and Salisbury had never held that government should be stationary or inert. The needs of the alliance counted for something in this evolution. An extra tinge of Liberalism in our policy, he had told Churchill in December 1885, would be part of the bargain with the whigs when the moment came (Cecil, Life, 3.275). When the alliance materialized, it included not only the whigs but the radical Unionists under Chamberlain, who had to be given the means to reassure his followers that he was not sustaining a reactionary regime. The Liberal Unionists were not in a position to impose terms, because Salisbury and his party managers had taken care to couch the electoral compact in terms that gave them no chance of increasing their numbers, and they were captive so long as Gladstone adhered to home rule, but their presence made it easier for Salisbury to persuade his classes to concede when an extra tinge of Liberalism seemed necessary for the health of the alliance and the safety of the union, as well as for the consolidation of the (to Salisbury startling) advance of Conservatism in the big urban electorates which had revealed itself in 18856.
it seems to me ridiculous to say that educated women are not just as capable. A good deal of the political battle of the future will be a conflict between religion and unbelief: & the women will in that controversy be on the right side. (Smith, 18 n.)In Ireland the Liberal tinge was evident mainly in the continuation in 1887 and 1891 of land purchase legislation and in the programme of rural economic development embodied in the congested districts legislation of 1890. But the government saw Ireland as an ongoing problem of firm administration rather than a question which might be susceptible of an answer. To implement the renewed coercion necessary to combat the National League and agrarian resistance, Salisbury chose as Irish secretary Balfour, whose hard-handedness with the militant Skye crofters while at the Scottish Office had won his approval (Everything seems to be going on charmingly in Skye. By steady deliberate pressure … you will get them under surely enough; Williams, 163). Salisbury's determination to get the Irish under caused him to make the most of the revelations about Parnell which The Times derived from the forger Piggott, and to lend his support to the paper even when their authenticity was challenged.
enhances his difficulties as he nurses a policy until the time comes for expression or action & he then finds his cabinet against him & has to retrace his steps. This for a strong & proud man must be very unpleasant. (BL, Add. MS 49778, fols. 3132)Hamilton had specifically in mind The German alliance, & safeguarding of Constantinople … the two objects for which he has persistently worked during the last ten years (ibid., fol. 32). To Salisbury's immense chagrin, the cabinet had refused to support him in the autumn of 1895 in overriding the fears of the admirals and forcing the straits in order to restrain Turkish massacres of Armenians, the effect of which on British opinion undermined the policy of sustaining the Ottoman empire, now in any case seen by Salisbury as beyond hope. Salisbury continued to want to lean to the Triple Alliance without belonging to it (Grenville, 98), as he put it, but the Kaiser's telegram of congratulation to President Kruger on the repulse of Jameson's raid into the Transvaal emphasized the precariousness of Anglo-German understanding. Salisbury was obliged to look rather to permanent occupation of Egypt as security for British Mediterranean interests and the route to India, and hence to the management of relations with France and her ally, Russia. With France, Salisbury hoped for what he called a mutual temper of apathetic tolerance (ibid., 428)which perhaps expressed his practical ideal of international relations. It was possible to patch up conflicts of interest in Siam and on the Niger in the hope of obtaining France's good offices with Russia in the Far East, where competition for concessions from China was exciting the apprehension of British imperialists. Salisbury's policy tended to the shoring up of China, like the Ottoman empire and Persia, as a buffer state between competing imperial powers, with an open door to the trade of all nations. But the lack of return from his willingness to make concessions to the Russians, together with the forceful intervention of Germany in taking Kiaochow (Jiaozhou) in November 1897, raised criticism, not allayed by the acquisition of Weihaiwei, that British interests were not being adequately asserted. It took Kitchener's conquest of the Sudan and the repulse of French ambitions on the upper Nile in the Fashoda crisis of SeptemberNovember 1898 to repair Salisbury's image of strength and emphasize his success in maintaining the British position in the partition of Africa without open collision.

Shakira unveils slim bikini body six months after giving birth to Milan
Us Weekly
She's got "The Voice" and the body!
Six months after giving birth to her son, Milan, Shakira showed off her perfect physique in Hawaii on July 21. Wearing a ruffled pink bikini and a sheer sarong, the "Addicted to You" singer was joined by her boyfriend and baby daddy, soccer player Gerard Pique.
PHOTOS: Shakira's sexy pre-baby body
Shakira continued to show off her slim post-baby body when she donned a similarly sexy pink bikini three days later. The Colombian singer, 36, and her Spanish beau, 26, were photographed kissing in the Pacific Ocean and walking hand in hand along the shore. Their son was not spotted at the beach, though the happy family was photographed having lunch at a Mexican grill and cantina on July 21.
PHOTOS: Jaw-dropping post-baby bodies
At one point during their romantic getaway, Shakira and Pique took a break from tanning to go fishing on an outrigger canoe.
In the July issue of ELLE, Shakira opens up about her romance with Pique, whom she began dating in 2011. "He has his own world and that's actually one of the healthiest things about the relationship," she revealed. "I know that he's the one person who is with me not because of any interest other than the love that unites us. There's nothing I can offer him beyond my womanhood -- does that word exist in English?"
PHOTOS: 'The Voice' mentors, then and now
Regarding motherhood, Shakira tells the magazine, "Some people put it like it's very idyllic, some people put it like it's a torturing experience, but it's not quite one thing or the other. It's like life -- it comes with everything."
VIDEO: Shakira says the boys on 'The Voice' underestimated her
She adds, "I'm still trying to figure it out. And I have a feeling I will try to do the same for the rest of my life."

Students on a field trip peer over the railing to view the famous Plymouth Rock near the Plimoth Plantation living history museum village in Plymouth, Mass., Monday, Nov. 20, 1995. This is the rock upon which the Pilgrims are said to have stepped at their first arrival to the New World in 1620. The well-known rock and the Pilgrim village are a favorite attraction this time of year to commemorate a harvest feast by the Pilgrims which is now referred to as 'The First Thanksgiving,' celebrated Thursday Nov. 23rd.
- Filed Under
Was the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Mass., in November, 1621? Or Dec. 4, 1619, when 38 settlers from England landed by the James River and their ship's captain decreed a day for giving thanks for having survived a storm.
Williamsburg historian Taylor Stoermer says settler communities in what was then called the New World often had celebrations to give thanks. Records show that Spanish conquistadors had religious Thanksgiving services at San Elizario, Texas, in 1598.
In Virginia, plenty of people back the 1619 claim. ...

Saturday Sunday is a new film by US photographer and filmmaker, Tim Moore. The film was shot in Portland Oregon as part of issue 4 of Letter to Jane Magazine, with the idea to further discuss what it is like to live as an artist in today's world.
Tim Moore discusses this idea in detail in the synopsis (which you can read in full here).
"In talking with friends one time I was asked to explain creativity and what being an artist felt like. The best analogy that came off the top of my head at the time was that it was like being in love with the woman of your dreams, but constantly afraid she was going to kill you. For some reason this idea always stuck with me. The image that you could be in love and everything is perfectly fine, but the thoughts of constantly feeling like your life is in danger would eventually drive you mad and make you lose your sense of reality. When even the most solid of anchors to this life, (a loving relationship) is no longer a believable reality, nothing in this world seems normal. Your relationship to objects, space, and time slowly lose their meaning and you no longer look at the world the same. This sense of torture and detachment coupled with knowing that it only exists in your head while the rest of the world works normally is about as fitting a description of the creative process that I can come up with."

SharePoint Training
There's good news and good news when it comes to becoming a SharePoint developer. The first good news is that SharePoint developers are among the highest sought and paid professionals in the workforce because of the technical complexities and functional capabilities, to solve business' needs, of the product. The second good news is that anyone can do it because it's not rocket science!
There are ten learning steps you need to take to become a well rounded SharePoint developer.
Step 1 - Physical Architecture
SharePoint is composed of services and relies on other services that can all run on one server or can be distributed across multiple servers. If you need to run SharePoint so you can develop then one server is fine. If you're talking about testing or production environments then you must distribute the services across servers. It's important to understand what all the services do which can help in your development down the road. The three basic core services are SharePoint, SQL, Web services and other SharePoint services.
SharePoint services contain the core services of the product which now also includes search. These services will run on every server within a farm. A farm can be as small as one server or as large as one hundred or even more. SharePoint services are installed by the SharePoint installation package which must be run on each server except for the one running SQL services.
SQL services are installed by the SQL Server installation package and make up the core services of that product. SQL Server is an enterprise database server and is what SharePoint uses to store its data. SQL Server typically runs on it's own server(s) and within larger farms are usually clustered for fail-over purposes.
Web services comes with Windows Servers in the form of the Internet Information Server (IIS) product and will typically run all non-SQL servers. IIS provides the web services used by SharePoint to render the web pages to user's browsers. In a typical SharePoint farm non-SQL servers will be wither web servers or application servers. Web servers will host the actual SharePoint sites while the application servers will host a variety of other services.
Other SharePoint services which are typically run from the application servers include:
Managed Terms Store
Profile/Social Services
Form Services
Excel Services
Word Services
Visio Service
PowerPoint Automation Services
Translation Services
Step 2 - Logical Architecture
SharePoint has an internal logical architecture.
Step 3 - .NET, C# or VB.NET
Step 5 - Server Object Model
Step 6 - Web Parts
Step 7 - Workflows
Step 8 - Public Web Sites
Step 9 - Client Object Model
Step 10 - Apps

Mammalian cells normally produce cellular prion protein or PrPC. During infection, abnormal or misfolded protein known as PrPSc converts the normal host prion protein into its toxic form by changing its conformation or shape. The end-stage consists of large assemblies (polymers) of these misfolded proteins, which cause massive tissue and cell damage.
"It was generally thought that once cellular prion protein was converted into the abnormal form, there was no further change," Weissmann said. "But there have been hints that something was happening. When you transmit prions from sheep to mice, they become more virulent over time. Now we know that the abnormal prions replicate, and create variants, perhaps at a low level initially. But once they are transferred to a new host, natural selection will eventually choose the more virulent and aggressive variants."
Drug Resistance
In the first part of the study, Weissmann and his colleagues transferred prion populations from infected brain cells to culture cells. When transplanted, cell-adapted prions developed and out-competed their brain-adapted counterparts, confirming prions' ability to adapt to new surroundings, a hallmark of Darwinian evolution. When returned to brain, brain-adapted prions again took over the population.
To confirm the findings and to explore the issue of evolution of drug resistance, Weissmann and his colleagues used the drug swainsonine or swa, which is found in plants and fungi, and has been shown to inhibit certain prion strains. In cultures where the drug was present, the team found that a drug-resistant sub-strain of prion evolved to become predominant. When the drug was withdrawn, the sub-strain that was susceptible to swainsonine again grew to become the major component of the population.
Weissmann notes that the findings have implications for the development of therapeutic

Earlier today, former New York Jets quarterback Boomer Esiason said the Jets should cut quarterback Tim Tebow, during an airing of his show on WFAN in New York.
Tebow was asked what he thought about Esiason's comments.
"Iâve heard nothing but great things about Mr. Esiason," Tebow said, per NFL.com. "I wish him nothing but the best in his announcing. God bless him."
You just have to love Tebow, I never thought he would have reacted this way. Ok I'm kidding. Wonder what Boomer thinks of his response.

CUMBERLAND – Saturday night's Division II-B football contest between Cumberland and St. Raphael is still scheduled to kick off at 7 o'clock.
The location, however, has changed.
Thanks to Friday's rainstorm shutting down operations on the track surface at Tucker Field, Cumberland officials found themselves in a precarious position, that of scrambling to find a last-minute venue that would still allow the game to take place on its rescheduled night. Their wishes didn't go unanswered for long, as Pawtucket's Max Read Field will now serve as the Clippers' "home field" against the Saints.
PROVIDENCE – Shea High veteran mentor Pierre Ridore explained how irritated he had been back on Tuesday afternoon after his squad, playing with little emotion or care, had surrendered a 1-0 defeat to struggling Central Falls.
"It was our first loss to Central Falls dating back to 2003; it was our Blackstone Valley Invitational (Tournament) game," he stated. "We hadn't lost to them in over a decade, and I told the kids that it shouldn't have happened, that they were playing too lazy."

He's been a Boston Celtics season ticket holder since 2007, and has worked as both a Red Sox and Celtics beat reporter for CLNS Radio. Mark writes about the NBA for HoopsHabit.com on Sports Illustrated's FanSided Network. He is also the editor in chief of LucidSportsFan.com, for which he's posted new features everyday since it's inception in March of 2011; and has been sited by the Wall Street Journal.

Great, thanks Mark!
No problem, Mark. Thanks for writing!
You're welcome, Mark! Tweet attribution does take practice—writers may feel the inclusion throws off the flow of an article. However, here's a note taken from the Stylebook: "Note also that embedded tweets, like all quotes, do in fact require explicit introductory attribution to their original sources, though the attribution does NOT require a hyperlink if the embedded tweet contains a link." Hope this helps. Let me know!
Hi Mark! I left the hyphen in "sixth highest" because it was a compound modifier ("sixth highest" modifying "average"), whereas the other usages were not. I hope that helps, and thanks for the note!
Hi Mark! Thanks for the note. You're right—I did add the Speier link for clarification since two of his articles were linked to in your story. I hope that helps!
You're welcome, Mark! No problem regarding the link concern. When it comes to links, there are those times when a tech glitch may cause an issue, and at other times, a site may be down at the time of a review. Take care and have a great weekend!
Sure thing, Mark! The whole .com thing can be tricky, so no worries. I usually check to see if ".com" is part of the official name (ex: Baseball-Reference.com, WhoScored.com) or if it would add clarity (ex: an ESPN.com writer vs. an ESPN television analyst). It's also preferred to go with the most familiar form in everyday language. With the ESPN Boston example, it's also a style thing, since it looks a lot more clean to say "ESPN Boston" than "ESPNBoston.com" (ESPN New York, CSN Philly, ESPN Chicago, etc.). Hope that helps. If you have any more questions feel free to let me know.
No problem, Mark. That's a good question. According to the B/R style guide, if the excerpt used in a block quote contains both written text and a quotation from the excerpted source, the excerpt should appear exactly as it does in the original material because the quotation in that case is an element of the larger article being quoted. Since the original material uses double quotation marks, I changed it so that it was exactly how it originally appeared in the original source. In a regular quote, however, you would be correct. Single quotes inside the double quotes. I hope this clears it up a little more. Thanks!
You're welcome, Mark!
Not a problem, Mark. I do remember chatting with you on Twitter back when I was running my Celtics blog. Good to see I made some kind of memorable impression. Nice job on the Sox slideshow, by the way.

Indigestion and Ulcers (Understanding)
Virtually everyone has had indigestion at some time, and for most people it's simply a minor nuisance. More often than not, it happens when you've overindulged or eaten something that doesn't agree with you and it only lasts for a short time. For some people the symptoms can be persistent and so severe that they interfere with everyday life. The symptoms may be caused by some undiagnosed problem within the digestive system, which needs to be properly identified and treated by a doctor. This book will help you distinguish between minor symptoms, which you can safely treat yourself, and those that need further investigation.

Professional platform and trading tools:
There's a lot to like in TradeStation's award-winning trading platform, especially if you're an advanced trader. Identifying new trading opportunities is a snap with the RadarScreen tool, a powerful real-time search and tracking function built right into the TradeStation Platform. You can customize RadarScreen to automatically follow and chart market trends that meet your investment criteria, allowing you to hone in on opportunities and execute trades before others in the market can react. You also won't have to worry about your trade order getting lost in the shuffle with TradeStation's speedy order execution technology. In fact, the TradeStation platform gives you a direct, reliable connection to dozens of exchanges, allowing you to get your order filled fast.
Complete strategy customization with EasyLanguage:
If you're a trader that loves to experiment with strategy and develop your own specialized market indicators, TradeStation's EasyLanguage is sure to excite you. This proprietary coding language allows you to build customized trading strategies and tracking indicators to put your investment ideas into action. TradeStation clients can even share or sell their EasyLanguage creations in the TradeStation Strategy Network. Though EasyLanguage takes a bit of effort to learn, TradeStation offers home study courses and live and on-demand video courses to get you up to speed. While some advanced courses are fee-based, a variety of free training materials are available.
Strong trader community:
TradeStation is one of the few online trade brokers to offer a quality community forum, which is a great way to connect with other traders and share information. You can read and join in on vibrant discussions covering a wide variety of investing topics, from trading strategy to investor psychology. The TradeStation Wiki is another great source of user guides and insightful tips and tricks from the community's most experienced traders. In combination with TradeStation's great educational resources, you'll have ample opportunity to learn about and discuss just about any aspect of trading. And you might just build some friendships along the way.
Access to all major investment products:
If you're looking for diversity in investment products, TradeStation is the broker for you. You can trade in all major products, from stocks and bonds to options and mutual funds. If you're interested in international markets, TradeStation has you covered there, too. You can even jump right into forex and futures markets, an opportunity that few other brokers offer. Though TradeStation does offer exchange-traded funds (ETFs), you won't be able to trade commission-free, just about the only omission in the TradeStation product lineup.
Attractive pricing structure for active traders:
When you make more than 30 stock and ETF trades per month, TradeStation charges a flat fee of only $6.99 per trade, plus $0.01 per share on the first 500 shares and $0.006 on each additional share. Though you can find better pricing, this is a pretty favorable deal, especially compared to other major brokers. For options trades, you pay only $1.00 per contract with no base or flat fees assessed on the trade. This is also quite attractive in comparison to most of the other brokers.
Major upgrades to educational resources:
TradeStation has made some great strides toward building a comprehensive, easy-to-use educational resource center. TradeStation University is the place to go for free video tutorials, e-books, and articles on using the TradeStation Platform, learning about different investment products, and getting started with EasyLanguage. Once you have the basics down, move over to TradeStation Labs to really nail down the finer points of investment analysis and strategy. In the Labs section, you can find on-demand video tutorials from TradeStation experts and well-known industry analysts. You can even join in on live webcasts to participate in discussions and get your questions answered by the experts. Whether you're a beginner or an old hand, you'll appreciate all the learning resources TradeStation puts at your fingertips.
Trade free for 60 days:
One great thing about starting up with TradeStation is that you'll get access to the company's trading platform and real-time monitoring tools free for your first 60 days of trading. You can also get up to $500 in rebates on commissions for trades in equities shares, options contracts, and futures, which is no small sum. To be perfectly clear, most online brokers do not charge a monthly fee for use of their trading platform. Though it would be a major plus if the TradeStation Platform came with no fees at all, 60 days of free access to a professional-level platform is definitely a plus.
$99 monthly charge to use TradeStation software:
Low-volume traders will be disappointed to learn that TradeStation charges for use of its trading software, a practice relatively uncommon in the industry. Though the TradeStation Platform ranks among the best in the industry, with a variety of professional-level analysis tools and high-quality trade execution technology, the cost is probably not worth it for casual traders. On the other hand, if you are an active trader who plans to trade more than 5,000 shares or 50 options contracts per month, this is not an important issue, since the $99 charge is waived for users who exceed these trade minimums.
$5,000 minimum deposit to get started:
If you're looking to ease into trading with a smaller account balance, TradeStation is not going to work for you. A $5,000 minimum daily balance requirement is very high for the industry, presenting a pretty big hurdle to many investors. That said, the requirement is not exactly surprising given TradeStation's focus on providing advanced tools and technologies to serious traders.
Behind the curve in terms of web trading:
TradeStation has also fallen behind its competitors in terms of web-based trading tools. Even though it has recently released a browser-based trading solution with most basic trading functions in place, the company's primary focus is clearly on its downloadable software package. For example, if you're interested in accessing some of TradeStation's excellent analysis and charting tools, such as RadarScreen and Scanner, you simply won't find them in the web trading platform. This is surprising, as other online brokers have managed to include advanced tools in their web-based offerings.

Pretty Ugly People Videos & Photos
Movie Info
Longtime friendships are put to the ultimate test when a dying woman summons her best friends from college into the wilderness for a four-day camping trip, and everyone quickly discovers that they haven't exactly been told the whole truth about her current condition. Lucy (Missi Pyle) has always been obese, and now that her health has taken a turn for the worse, she wants to spend her last days with the estranged college social group that helped her through one of the most difficult periods of her entire life. Upon learning that Lucy is on her deathbed, her loyal friends all rush to Montana in order to be by her side for one last weekend together. Immediately upon arriving, however, it's glaringly obvious to all of Lucy's friends that something isn't right. Her condition is a far cry from what she made it out to be in her desperate messages, and as tensions begin to rise Lucy realizes that the people standing before her today simply aren't the same people whom she remembered so fondly from college. With no modern conveniences to fall back on as the reunited group begins an arduous four-day hike into the wilderness, everyone's deepest fears and demons gradually claw their way to the surface, leaving Lucy to wonder whether her "final wish" was truly the brilliant idea she initially thought it to be. … More

Audience Reviews for Pretty Ugly People
The title says it all. Ugly (on the inside) folks, college friends, meet again at the behest of a member that is dying. The meeting is occasion for some "changes" that make everyone a less ugly person, and we're supposed to feel good about it, through the magic of quirky independent film charm. But that's not what happens. It's the script's fault. That's enough about that.
Super Reviewer
Decent acting but the characters are by and large just as the title suggests pretty ugly people.
Super Reviewer
Pretty Ugly People is pretty unremarkable. The set-up and general tone of the movie would suggest a quirky independent romp. It may aim for this title, butit's mostly bland and patronizing. A big lass loses weight and arranges a trip for some friends. They all learn valuable lessons and "discover" themselves. These characters aren't horrible enough for any grand changes, nor or they nice enough to actually like. The protagonist is the biggest bitch of all, allowing her friends to believe she is dying. It's a horrible tactic that only the best writing could salvage a heart from. Unfortunately, such talented scripting is absent here.
