Clandestiny, a family orientated puzzle adventure game, was launched today by GRL Games (http://www.grlgames.net), the company long time industry veteran Graeme Devine founded after leaving Apple late last year. It's available at an introductory price of US$9.99 at the newly launched Apple App Store.
Here's how the game is described: "Clandestiny combines classic adventure, animated story and fun puzzles. There are over 40 minutes of animated story to go with the over 30 puzzles in the game. Join Andrew and Paula on this spooky adventure as you experience the castle's eerie rooms and hidden passageways, and encounter the angst-ridden ghosts of the family MacPhiles. Solve "wee" rascally riddles and persnickety puzzles to learn the fate of this dimwitted clan."
Clandestiny has three levels. The game was originally released by Devine when he was at Trilobyte in 1996 as the company's third title,...| Read more »

Italy's A Nice Place, But The Neighborhood's Going Downhill
Italy is in trouble. The country is getting sucked into Europe's debt crisis, and leaders around the continent are trying to figure out what to do about it.
On today's show, we talk to a few Italians who describe how common tax evasion is in Italy, and how big the unofficial economy is.
We also talk to Andrew Balls, head of European portfolio management at PIMCO — a guy whose job is figuring out whether to lend money to Italy.
He says Italy isn't in such bad shape. Yes, it's debt is high. But its annual deficit is small, it didn't have a housing crisis and its banks are in decent shape.
Italy's problem is that investors are getting nervous about its neighbors — Spain, Greece and Portugal. And that tends to spill over. Italy is like a nice house in a neighborhood that's going downhill, Balls says:
It's difficult to be the Italian house in the deteriorating European neighborhood ... you can have pressure on a country like Italy, contagion to Italy, even though there hasn't been any significant change in the fundamentals.

AbstractThe richness of technology in our society has resulted in an unprecedented ability for us to understand, model and leverage our social networks. The goal of this project is to bring the same functionality and advantages to technology-poor societies and empower them with a twitter-like, facebook-like, even internet-like capability. Aptima, Inc. and Professor Alex"Sandy"Pentland from MIT propose to team and develop both a methodology and cell phone application to enable those with limited technology to leverage existing, massive and dynamic social networks. The project, entitled Advancing the Development and Empowering those Poor in Technology (ADEPT) will: 1. sense the evolving network through distributed agents 2. leverage the existing social network of individuals and cell phones to locate resources and form ad hoc teams in a distributed manner and 3. increase robustness of the network by introducing fault tolerant traffic and mechanism design to increase adoption. ADEPT will be beneficial, not only to the technology-poor themselves, but will also reduce the burden on both the military and civil organizations that are charged with helping build and exploit these networks around the world during Phases 4 (stabilizing) and 5 (enabling civil authority) in times of crisis and nation-building.

Afternoon from Stensaas (Stencils to some of you regulars; @stensation on twitter).
Quick question for you all: Why are you sitting in front of a computer reading? Have you BEEN outside today? Got a sick day - use it. Stunningly wonderful out there. I think I might take my computer outside to finish
While it doesn't feel like hockey season outside, one glance at the calendar shows the Wild has precious little time left before its 2011-12 season opener. The team has just two more preseason games (tomorrow in Columbus and Friday at the X) before a bit of team-building time, part of which (Oct. 2&3) will be spent in Duluth.
Mike Yeo today held a pretty basic practice - a lot of work-out-of-the-corners stuff - before the team participated in a shootout, much to the delight of a large number of Wild staffers who were on hand for an all-employee on-ice photo. The shootout came down to Dany Heatley and Cal Clutterbuck. The new guy (who, I don't know if you heard, went to Wisconsin) ultimately won the battle. But in the process, Clutterbuck did his best Dean Youngblood impression to stay alive. Though clutterbuck wasn't even born when the movie came out, his performance was dead on to Rob Lowe's:
Anyway, enough about that. Biggest news out of camp is that Yeo said Drew Bagnall is still not yet cleared to playand he will do the rest of his rehab in Houston. The other injured guys (Matt Cullen, Jared Spurgeon, Cody Almond and Mike Lundin) were all out of practice as well. Yeo sounds the most concerned about Almond.
"He's progressing slowly, let's put it that way," Yeo said. "I'm disappointed for him, and I'm sure he's pretty upset about it. He worked his rear-end off this summer to come in here and have a good camp, so I feel bad for him."
Definitely something to start to really wonder about as we're just 10 days away from opening night.
That's it from me. Off to
golf write a notebook.

As I say I purchased it because of the colour - I think its great to have something to match colour schemes and would love to see it it more colours too.
Next day delivery with amazon prime was useful and the packaging was fine too.
I wouldn't say its an essential item for new parents but is certainly a very useful one!
It is a great gift for new parents but it needs some attention to avoid nasty smells

|Reviews for I am Spartacus
| OlgaKalmarova chapter 1 . 11/7/2015
A stupid situation. In a good way. I think after that, not only Robin, but all who saw Will's agony in the prison guessed that's what. So not to talk out loud what is obvious, it's pathology. Two little stubborn boys)
One can't understand how they the poison out from Will? To eliminate the Symptoms and eliminate the source are not one and the same.
| lily chapter 1 . 1/17/2015
Write something else about Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves please))
| Androsama chapter 1 . 3/25/2014
It was a great story. So Robin somehow knew Will is his brother but he didn't want to say it out loud. And Will is so defensive, he can't trust Robin, but in the end he saved his life. He's brave and not a coward I think. He's just too afraid to trust anyone. And it was a nice brotherly scene in the end. Maybe one day Will starts to trust Robin, because Robin trusts Will.
| Mideila chapter 1 . 3/22/2014
Everything is perfect, so much action. but I didn't understand a bit, Robin didn't understand that Will was his brother, right?
| Wrinkled Fabric chapter 1 . 2/19/2014
Ahhh loved this so much! Thanks for sharing :)
| kmeticata chapter 1 . 12/16/2013
its just too cute
| Sheherazade's Fable chapter 1 . 11/3/2013
This was really well written, and I admire the scene between Will and Robin at the end. Good job.
| DanelleSephton chapter 1 . 12/9/2012
perfect. well executed, well worded, just perfect. and you managed to do use a very little touched upon relationship movie wise, and turn it into a believible yet touching story. great job
| Scarlett Rose chapter 1 . 11/1/2012
Write more about Will Scarlett!
| ScarrlettRose chapter 1 . 9/27/2012
Please oh please right more!
| sarah0406 chapter 1 . 9/5/2012
I love it! Just great! And something Will might really do... Just to save his skin but still nobody but him could think about it... In this particular situation...
| Aranna Undomiel chapter 1 . 9/2/2012
Great to see a story for this fandom again, really loved it. The sarcastic banter between Will and Robin, and how Robin slowly got to realise what it meant to see Will becoming sick because of the potion.
Really hope you'll write more in this fandom soon :D
| iolah chapter 1 . 8/24/2012
Never never never never stop writing for this. NEVER. You are amazing! It's not just that not a lot of people write for this fandom, although that's true, but you do it AND you're a fantastic writer with wonderful characterization. I will never get tired of your take on these characters and honestly when I saw you had written a new one I freaked out a little. This was so awesome. The witch is such a useful character that not enough people take advantage of, and you did a great job of it. Please write more soon!
| Izzie McCool chapter 1 . 8/21/2012
This was so beautiful, and clever! I should have seen it coming, but I didn't! I was reading, wondering what the heck was wrong with Will, and realized it about the same time Robin did... It was brilliant! as always, this was well written, and since I've read you other stuff too, I kind of knew that you knew Will and Robin, but it was really great to read something this good, and true to the characters. Hope you pose more :))
Love McIzz
| Craic agus Ceol chapter 1 . 8/19/2012
I love how you write Robin and Will so much! And I love the ending, it makes so much more sense for them to gradually realize and accept their relationship as opposed to the movie, where they are bros pretty much immediately. Great job on the story!

I just find it a bit slow to load, but once loaded, then it's very fast.
I have a Gmail account, and I love it. Everything is so nice, and tidy. Its better than hotmail, as you have Have attachments as big as you want basically. Well at least I dont see a size limit on attachments. I use my Gmail account for basically everything now. I have close to 20 emails in there, (i deleted some) and Ive not even touched 1 % of my space yet, So this 1 Gig thing is very handy. I have 3 emails with attachments, and the space hasn't even turned over yet. I love all of the java script coding that is embedded. When you reading an email, or not viewing the inbox, the page automatically updates, and tells you how many emails you have in the tab on the task bar. for example:
OS: Windows 98
browser: IE 6
It will say
Gmail - Inbox
if you have mail it will say
Gmail - Inbox (1) or how ever many you may have new at the time.
My Email: email@example.com
Well, after hassling everyone I know who has manageed to get an invite I've finally managed to secure an account of my own (Cheers mate )
and while I like the feature set, the UI is pretty appauling.
Not a single icon has a title or alt attribute, so nothing tells you what it's function is!
Hopefully this will change in the final release, but in the words of Snake from the Simpsons:
"Oh no, Beta!"
I take no responsibility for the above nonsense.

Once again, another great review. Looks like quite a nice set. But I still don't see where lego is going with this license.
Posted 23 May 2006 - 04:31 PM
Looks nice. May buy two, to make it a tad bigger, have a back, and have Mr Krabs' office where it should be. And a full kitchen. Okay, maybe three sets then.

*wub* YAY!! my favourite SBSP set!! *y*

Even though I'm not a fan of the show, I think it looks great. Great review Admiral Giddens!
Posted 07 July 2006 - 04:42 PM
For the money, this is a fun set full of useful bits and bobs. The kids get 1-2 hours of fun out of it, and then it goes into hte parts bin with no guilt. Easily the best of the Spongebob sets for the money.
Posted 07 July 2006 - 05:56 PM
Lovely, both the review and the set!!! It looks just like the one of the show, well hehehe, smaller than I imagined, but still works great!

Multi-level converters are widely used to convert high voltage DC (typically above 500V) to an isolated DC output voltage that may vary from 12V to 300V, depending on the application. Typical applications can range from network server power supplies to battery chargers for purely electric vehicles. Almost all these industrial applications require the converter to operate from no load to full load. Zero-voltage switching is necessary for the efficient operation of the converter as it ensures reduced EMI, reduced switching losses and the proper operation of the switching devices. Most conventional ZVS techniques for multi-level converters fail to achieve ZVS typically below 50% of full load, while some ZVS techniques are able to do so, but they increase the design complexity of the overall system. Moreover such techniques may suffer from increased circulating current loess at certain load ranges (typically at high loads) thus offsetting the gain in efficiency achieved through ZVS. In this paper a simple yet novel ZVS auxiliary circuit that achieves ZVS even at no load, can optimize the circulating auxiliary circuit current necessary for ZVS as a function of load, thus maximize the efficiency of the converter for all load conditions, is proposed, analyzed and validated by experimental results.

I've been testing your plugin yesterday and set it to turn a RSS feed into posts. There were multiple "posts" in that RSS feed that needed to be turned into wp posts, and it did create all of them as wp posts, however, only one of them actually appeared on the front page of the blog. Then I introduced another RSS feed and for that one it created all the posts properly and they appeared on the front page as well.
Do these things fix themselves (I mean next time the first RSS updates is it likely to create all the wp posts properly, so they also appear on the front page too) or is there something I should do?
Also, I'd like to ask you how can I set the plugin to automatically update all the RSS feeds once every "x" minutes / hours?
Thank you for your time.

Current/Elliott Jeans
Charlize Theron in Current/Elliott
Charlize Theron was spotted making her way through LAX airport. Her mom Gerta also joined her on her trip. Charlize and her mom seem to be super close. I wonder if they're taking a vacation together?
Charlize looked quite dressed up for her flight, wearing heels, a sweater, Mulberry bag and Current/Elliott jeans in antique wash. The last time we saw her in these jeans, she was also in the airport! Current/Elliott denim is always super comfortable, so I can see why she'd wear them on a long flight. You can buy these on sale at Revolveclothing.com for $145.
Rooney Mara in Current/Elliott
Rooney Mara was seen out and about in Stockholm, Sweden. She was in full character for her new role as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. She was wearing a pair of The Skinny Cargo Jeans by Current/Elliott in Midnight Overdye. I like seeing actors get into character and actually take it all the way with their look. Check out how she looked before the makeover after the jump.
Have you readers seen the original? I thought it was very suspenseful. I didn't think the ending would have been like that. Then again…I didn't read the book. Are you readers excited for the this adaptation? You can purchase these jeans at ShopBop for $248.
Orlando Bloom in Dior Homme
Newlyweds Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr were seen at LAX Airport in Los Angeles, California. They spend a lot of time at the airport. Other than the Beckhams, I think these two are next to how much time they spend at the airport. It must be nice to always be jetting off somewhere. Or not? I guess it is more bitter-sweet.
For the plane-ride Orlando chose a pair of trusty Dior Homme jeans. These must be new because we haven't spotted him in a gray pair before. These jeans must also be comfortable. Orlando has been spotted wearing them a couple times at the airport. Also, look how big Miranda has gotten since she announced her pregnancy. She looks amazing, as always. She was also wearing The Commander Jacket by Current/Elliott in Pale Olive. You can click here to purchase Miranda's jacket for $368.00 and click here to buy DiorHomme jeans.
Drew Barrymore in Current/Elliott Denim Shirt
Drew Barrymore is currently busy promoting her film, Going the Distance and she's been looking great while doing so. Drew's style can frequently be hit or miss but recently, her looks have been the perfect reflection of Drew's hippy charm. This look was certainly no exception.
Drew mixed a distressed denim shirt, a long white skirt and anchored the look with a brown belt. Her shirt is Current/Elliott's The Perfect Shirt, in Minor Denim. This look reminds me a lot of Ralph Lauren's Spring/Summer 2010 Collection. You can buy Drew's shirt at RevolveClothing.com for $278.00

In this paper, we present methods for synthesizing multilevel asynchronous circuits to be both hazard free and completely testable. Making an asynchronous two-level circuit hazard free usually requires the introduction of either redundant or nonprime cubes or both. This adversely affects the circuit's testability. However, using extra inputs, which is seldom necessary, and a synthesis-for-testability method, we convert the two-level circuit into a multilevel circuit that is completely testable. To avoid the addition of extra inputs as much as possible, we introduce new exact minimization algorithms for hazard-free two-level logic where we first minimize the number of redundant cubes and then minimize the number of nonprime cubes. We target both the stuck-at and robust path delay fault models using similar methods. However, the area overhead for the latter may be slightly higher than for the former

DeSean Jackson was behind his man, free for the type of score he and Michael Vick have produced all season.
Only this time, the throw was too long. Vick had again done the seemingly impossible, but in a bad way: He overthrew one of the fastest receivers in the game.
The second quarter incompletion was the first of a series of unwanted firsts for Vick and the Eagles - making their late rally all the more remarkable.
On a night when it appeared an ugly fourth-quarter sequence might doom the Eagles, the team battled through the most ordinary performance of Vick's season to secure a crucial win.

The Church Without Walls International
Not that we would have dominion over your faith, but rather are helpers of your joy, for by your own faith you stand (II Cor 1:24) We believe the practice of home based churches as depicted in the book of Acts and Paul's letters is normal Christianity. These churches revolve around friends, neighbors, and co-workers meeting regularly for the purpose of growing in Christ and letting the Lord's will be done in their midst.

"See what I see: People running to and fro to this meeting and that, looking for the spectacular, thinking that is supernatural. But they miss the supernatural work in their midst, even in their heart. For the process of discipleship is supernatural." – Jesus to John in a February, 2001 visitation

David; King in Exile, is the 3rd of a 3 part series looking at the Psalms David wrote at various events in his life. In this series we see the anguish of a father whose son turns against him, and the Psalms where he wrestled with wanting to see justice yet wanting his son saved. We see the intrigue of David's family life and Bathsheba's grandfather, David's closest advisor, and we see victorious David reclaiming his kingdom and purchasing the hill top that would become the Temple Mount, the place of Solomon's temple. And finally, at the end of his life David's Psalms are reflective, looking to God as the Creator to whom he will soon go, and the recounting of God's faithfulness to him down through the years. For anyone who loves someone who isn't walking with the Lord, to one reflecting on God's faithfulness, this series will inspire you!
In David the King we look at the Psalms he wrote after King Saul died, but before David's son Absalom rebelled against him and sent him into exile. The Psalms take on a different tone than in part 1 of the series, and include prophecy about Jesus, because during this peaceful time in his life he is able to focus on worship and the goodness of the Lord. We look at his Psalm that was shouted at Jesus on Palm Sunday, and the Hallel, which Jesus and the disciples sung on the night He was betrayed, and its prophecy. The series also looks at the Psalm David wrote when he was confronted about his affair with Bathsheba. David the King gives wonderful insight into the tenderness of the heart of David, his heart for his son, Solomon, and so much more!Save Save

I've found that GameBanshee is quite helpful with their walkthroughs for this game. I just started a new character last night, so I've got to go through the graveyard and crap again. Lol.
Anyhow... yeah, GameBanshee is awesome for their walkthroughs.
For some reason though, even though I freed Derlinger and got the password, the guy at the door to the Slums won't lemme in.

Best value in Dar. Great rate, good fan in the room during summer. Location is perfect, downtown, near ferry, restaurants, other shopping. This is a hotel though, not a hostel. Has a common room with a TV, but no hostel atmosphere. Breakfast was okay. Shower was only a trickle, but the rest of the room was adequate. If you are on a budget this is the best value. Try the Indian restaurants several blocks down Libya Street.

Preis-Leistung echt total in Ordnung, wir hatten ein relativ sauberes, gut ausgestattetes Zimmer für wenig Geld. Die super Lage mit vielen Restaurants, Bushaltestelle und Banken, Fähre und Innenstadt macht das Safari Inn zum perfekten Stadt-Hostel für ein paar Nächte.

Very simple but clean rooms (although we had a few cockroaches). It is a place to sleep and a good base for discovering Daressalaam, but not more - the hostel is located in the city centre, but in the evening the road and the people there become a bit creepy. The sitting room ist not very cosy, but there ist free wifi and they also sell drinks. Via email we booked a transfer from the airport to the hostel, unfortunately there was noone there when we arrived... So you should always double-check!

EU Sees No 'Real Impact' of Food Prices on Households for Now
Surging food prices haven't had a "real impact" on European Union household budgets for now, and any impact would be delayed.
"As far as households are concerned at this stage there should not be any real impact," Patrizio Fiorilli, a spokesman for the European Commission, said at a briefing in Brussels today. "If there is any impact it should be delayed."
The United Nations' Food & Agriculture Organization index of 55 food items jumped 6.2 percent in July, the most since 2009, as drought reduced grain production in the U.S. and Russia, the FAO reported Aug. 9.
The increase in prices has mainly affected corn and soybeans, according to Fiorilli.

While biomarkers may be used to diagnose disease, the ups and downs of biological molecules may not depend entirely on whether a particular disease is present. Protein levels in the blood stream, for example, may vary with individual genetic, clinical, and lifestyle factors.
This observation isn't exactly novel. Biomarkers for specific diseases have been linked with lifestyle and demographic factors. For example, in a study of diabetes that considered how well the disease could be predicted by assessing levels of a protein called sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), relevant factors were found to include age, reproductive history, usage of exogenous estrogen, body mass index, physical activity, alcohol consumption, coffee intake, smoking, and various dietary factors.
When these findings appeared last year, study leader Simin Liu, M.D., a professor of epidemiology and medicine at Brown University, said, "This protein seems to capture the cumulative effect between the gene and our environment in reflecting a metabolic state of our body, particularly in the liver, ultimately affecting diabetes risk."
If individual genetic and lifestyle factors can influence one biomarker, they can presumably influence many other biomarkers. Yet biomarkers used for diagnosing disease should preferably indicate variations in protein levels only for those individuals who are suffering from a particular disease. Nor should they vary for reasons that have nothing to do with the disease.
To address this issue in a systematic way, researchers from Uppsala University recently conducted a large-scale study of non-disease-related factors that can influence protein levels in the bloodstream. Specifically, the researchers, led by Stefan Enroth, Ph.D., analyzed 92 protein biomarkers for cancer and inflammation in a clinical study of 1,000 healthy individuals.
The results of the study appeared August 22 in Nature Communications, in an article entitled, "Strong effects of genetic and lifestyle factors on biomarker variation and use of personalized cutoffs." According to this article, hereditary factors play a significant role for more than 75% of the proteins, and a detailed genetic analysis demonstrates 16 genes with a strong effect on protein levels.
"These results are important, as they show which variables are significant for variations in the measurable values," explained Dr. Enroth. "If these factors are known, we have a greater possibility of seeing variations and we get clearer breakpoints between elevated values and normal values. By extension this may lead to the possibility of using more biomarkers clinically."
According to the study, genetics and lifestyle together account in some cases for more than 50% of variations in protein levels among healthy individuals. This means that information about both genetic and lifestyle factors must be taken into account in order for protein biomarkers to be used effectively.

Once I tried to explain what a phrasal verb is by utilizing a similar example in Portuguese. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of any example, which makes me think: are there phrasal verbs in Portuguese?

English phrasal verbs are combinations of verbs and prepositions where the meaning of the expressions as a whole cannot be completely understood just from the meaning of the individual parts. Syntactically, there are only minor differences between phrasal verbs and actual combinations of verbs and prepositions, it's more of a semantic concept, with a lot of gray area between the two fields (see for instance Dixon, The grammar of English phrasal verbs, 1982 [subscription required]).
So if the question is whether there are verbs that, combined with a preposition, take a different meaning, the answer is yes. Just look at special entries in dictionaries under a verb. For instance, with estar (Aulete):
However, the preposition cannot stand alone, it always introduces a prepositional phrase. This would be analogous to prepositional phrasal verbs, as Wikipedia puts it (citing The Collins Cobuild English Grammar). But nothing like the particle phrasal verbs or particle-prepositional phrasal verbs, at least admitting that the particle (which then has an adverbial role) has to function also as a preposition. If we relax this requirement, then we can think of expressions such as dar-se bem (com qualquer coisa). If you deem do well (for oneself) a phrasal verb, this would probably also qualify as such.
There are also prefixes that can be added to verbs that can also work as prepositions, like sob (sobpor). However, 1) this would not analogous to phrasal verbs, more like to verbs such as understand (under + stand), 2) at least with sobpor the meaning can be deduced from the parts and 3) the are very few prefixes that also have a preposition counterpart, unlike say Dutch, where most (simple) prepositions can also function as a prefix for a separable verb (except a few like via and tijdens and some others that take a different form like met / mee).
After some research, I've found an example at Wikipedia:
"Cai fora" is analogous to "Get out", and both seems to be great examples of phrasal verbs.
This is really interesting! All Portuguese examples given by the answers here are slangs or informal/casual, being mostly used in spoken language. And it also seems that the use of English phrasal verbs has a slight difference in formality when compared to its one-word counterparts, which indeed makes much sense.
Although I can't give you any references, I dare say there aren't any phrasal verbs in Portuguese. That has been widely cited as one of the several differences between English and Portuguese. We do have, however, slang phrases that might sound like a phrasal verb: e.g. "entrar bem", where "entrar" means "enter", "go in", and "bem" means "well". Together, they mean "entrou pelo cano", "não se deu bem"
"Ele tentou enganar o professor mas no final entrou bem".

Locking kids in a root cellar 5.5 feet underground??? That is inhumane and deplorable! She admitted to it and the scumbag family willingly gave up their license. She is bad news and needs to go.
Regarding Karen Magistrelli, I smell a rat. Who knows what other news may come out? She was nominated by a twice-convicted pedophile, housed kids in a hole in the ground and now thinks it won't affect her campaign. She ought to drop out and retain the small measure of her dignity and class that remains.
