His legend precedes him, the way lightning precedes thunder. In a past life, he was himself. Bigfoot tries to capture photos of him. His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man's entire body. His blood smells like cologne. His hands feel like rich brown suede. He lives vicariously through himself. He once had an awkward moment, just to see what it was like. He has amassed an incredibly large DVD library, and it is said that he never once alphabetized it. On every continent in the world, there is a sandwich named after him. His hands feel like rich brown suede. He is the most interesting DJ on the radio.
"I don't always play music," he says. "But when I do, I prefer Starwood Radio."

Lawyers Explained: Some Basic Tips For You
There are many reasons that a lawyer. There are several options to consider, like fees and communicating effectively with him or her. The information in the next few paragraphs will help you learn what sorts of things to expect with regards to lawyers.
Although the high cost of hiring a specialty lawyer can be daunting, they generally save you money in the end. A general attorney will have to spend billable hours background researching your case, saving you research fees.
You should know that anything shared between you and your lawyer is strictly confidential. For instance, if you speak with your lawyer about something dealing with your company, you do not have to worry because a lawyer is legally bound to not share this information with others.
Don't accept the first lawyer in the phone book. It is critically important to check out your choices to make certain you get the best. You might select a recommendation from someone you know.
Talk to people you trust about whether or now they know of a lawyer. This can pay a lot of benefits down the road for you save both money and reduces your work.
Business people that need lawyers probably have better information about them than the man on the street. For instance, if you're dealing with small business law, you should speak with a banker, banker, an accountant, and the like. These types of people are frequently interacting with lawyers and can give a more informed opinion.
Find out if the lawyer is experienced with your particular problem. Just because a lawyer lists that he specializes in cases similar to yours doesn't mean they'll win your case.
Keep good records of all the contact that you interact with the attorney. Take note of dates, time, subjects of discussion and any mentions of billing issues. This can help you from problems that may arise such as large fees.
Be wary of handing retainer to a lawyer for taking your case. Make sure that you are going to be refunded for any money not used.Talk to other lawyers if the initial costs are too high and the lawyer won't work with you.
When you pick a lawyer, check into their reputation thoroughly.
Before you hire a lawyer, check with your local state bar to see if there had been any complaints launched against him. If they have a few complaints, research them to see whether you should consider hiring a different attorney.
Don't hire a lawyer after speaking with them on the phone. Hiring a lawyer that you haven't met yet may turn out to be a huge mistake. Meeting first will help you how comfortable you will both be with each other.
There may be a dozen or more cases that they have. Remember that your urgency will not be shared, it will be the main focus.
Ask any lawyer you may hire for a short list of some of their current and past clients. A good at what he or she does will be confident enough to comply with your request. This list will ensure that you choose a lawyer is.
Make sure you're interviewing any lawyers you're thinking of hiring, even if the one you meet with first feels like the right one. Legal issues can sometimes take a long time; therefore, and you'll need a lawyer you can stand to be around. Choosing the best one at the beginning can make everything go smoothly.
Look around when you first enter a lawyer's office to interview them. Are the books neatly placed on the bookshelf alphabetized? Do you see a desk full of papers? Is the office professional and disorderly?
Ask yourself some questions about the prospective lawyers you've met. Do they have a well-organized and clean?Ask whether they had professional in both manners and appearance. Do they get back to your calls or emails right away? Do they keep their appointments or reschedule appointments?
Tell your lawyer all the truth about everything at hand. Your attorney will need all the information available to build a solid defense for your case. You should also keep in mind that your attorney since they are not supposed to this to anyone.
You should put together some questions you want to ask to the lawyers.You can ask these questions when you meet with your lawyer by telephone or on the phone. Ask beforehand if there's a charge for the initial consultation to avoid surprise bills.
Be certain that the attorney you are dealing with has a lawyer who can practice law legally in your state. State licenses sometimes do not valid across all states. Advice from an out of state attorney doesn't stand up in court.Check with your lawyer's credentials in your state.
Communication is essential when dealing with attorneys. Are they actively listening to you? Do they answer your inquiries? Do they talk at you or at you? These things are very important. If you aren't comfortable communicating with your lawyer, find a better one.
You should keep some questions when trying to find the perfect lawyer. Are you in a comfortable with their working methods? Do they have experience in your type of situation? Do you understand all they are giving you? Are the costs able to fit within your tight budget?
No matter your legal situation, you must get prepared to face it. Make sure you remember the advice mentioned in the article above when it comes time for you to hire a lawyer. It is sound advice that will make the entire process smoother and less stressful.

VICTORIA— New Democrat MLA, Harry Bains, introduced a bill that would protect manufactured home owners from being evicted with no supports when the site of their homes is slated for redevelopment.
"In my community of Surrey, people who live in manufactured home parks are worried that they'll be evicted, have nowhere to go, and become homeless if the owner decides to redevelop the site," said Bains. "The changes I am calling for would give manufactured home owners in Surrey and across B.C. the time and financial help they need when they find out they're being evicted.
"I've introduced this legislation in previous years, and so far the B.C. Liberal government have blocked it from proceeding. I sincerely hope that they will support it this time."
Along with Surrey, manufactured home owners in Port Edward, Coquitlam and other communities across the province, have been forced to leave their homes because the owners decide they want to redevelop the site.
Under B.C.'s current laws, owners responsible for the evicting their manufactured home park tenants are under no obligation to offer alternative housing or provide sufficient compensation for relocation costs. For years the B.C. New Democrats have been calling on the B.C. Liberal government to step in to provide protections for the evicted tenants, but the government has neglected to do so.
Bains' bill would require manufactured home park landlords to give a one year notice to their tenants and provide their tenants with up to $30,000 to cover relocation expenses. If a person couldn't relocate their manufactured home, the landlord would be required to pay them out, at fair market value.
"It's time for the Christy Clark government to stop ignoring the housing crisis and start working on solutions," said Bains. "They could start today by passing this bill to protect manufactured home owners."
Here is a link to the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Amendment Act, 2016.

Often estate planning attorneys suggest that along with your legal documents, you also consider writing a letter, or set of letters, to your loved ones. This may be referred to as an Ethical Will or Legacy Letter. The premise behind the letter is to leave your legacy by expressing your values.
Hopefully, by sharing your thoughts and values in this way you give your family a better understanding of your wishes which not only leaves them with a better appreciation of the decisions made in your estate plan, but a purposeful intent to honor those wishes.
The letter affords you the opportunity to impart to your loved ones that you have come to terms with your own mortality, learned from mistakes, and intend to create a better future for them after your passing.
This may be a difficult letter to write and take a considerable amount of time, energy and forethought, but the results can be overwhelming. These letters have a way of healing old grievances, reuniting loved ones and creating a peaceful approach to estate administration.
Some ideas to help you start your letter include:
-Share stories that shaped your life.
-Express your hopes and dreams for each of the beneficiaries.
-Recount your blessings and your hardships.
-Be genuine, heartfelt and benevolent in expressing your deepest thoughts and emotions.
For more information on estate planning in the Greater Baltimore area, please contact Stouffer Legal at 443-470-3599. We can help you create this dying love letter that brings peace to your loved ones.

Binge eating disorder - in denial
I have binge eating disorder. I have gone to McDonald's and ordered the same meal x 4 only to switch up the drinks and toppings to make it look like it was actually being eaten by 4 different people. Those people? Me, myself, I and binge eating disorder.

I think we all do that sometimes...Just not with crap like McD's... I'd be doubled over in pain for a week.. I have gone to a local deli a few times, ordered the same sub, and, after the first time, joked "Friends of mine are visiting tonight..These are for them".. And gone home and wolfed down the subs.
Nothing wrong with that. But I kinda have a fetish for watching it anyway, so I'm not one to give an opinion :p
That was not supposed to be a question mark...it was supposed to be a heart. Sincerely, a former binge eater.

Damian Lewis and Dame Maggie Smith have been awarded Golden Globes for their performances in Homeland and Downton Abbey – taking best actor and best supporting actress gongs at an award ceremony last night.
Having lost out on awards in 2012 – both Lewis and Smith were also nominated in their respective categories for the same roles last year – the British actors beat strong opposition.
Lewis took the Golden Globe for best actor in a TV drama for his role as Nicholas Brody in Homeland, beating Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, Boardwalk Empire's Steve Buscemi, The Newsroom's Jeff Daniels and Mad Men's John Hamm to the award.
"I'd like to dedicate this to my mum, looking down on me bursting with pride telling everyone around her how well her son is doing in acting," Lewis said.
It was a good night for Homeland, which also swept the board at the Emmys last autumn, with the show taking the best drama series award for the second year in a row – seeing off competition including Breaking Bad and Downton Abbey.
"Maybe, maybe we just didn't screw it up," said showrunner Alex Gansa, referring to criticism of the second season, dismissed by some fans for its increasingly unbelievable plot developments.
Claire Danes, who plays CIA agent Carrie Mathison opposite Lewis in the drama, took best actress in a TV drama for the second year running.
Dame Maggie Smith built on her 2012 Emmy win, taking the Golden Globe for best supporting actress for her portrayal of Violet, the Dowager Countess in ITV's Downton Abbey, much-loved in the US where its third series is currently airing.
Smith, also nominated for a best actress award in the film categories for her role in Quartet, did not attend the ceremony.
Other big winners included Lena Dunham and Girls, and the HBO film Game Change, in which Julianne Moore played Sarah Palin, which took gongs for best miniseries or movie, best actress in a miniseries or movie, and best best actor.
Girls won best musical comedy series, with Dunham winning the best actress award in this category for her role as Hannah Horvath in the HBO series about twentysomethings in New York that returns to Sky Atlantic for a second series tonight.

Young People Technology and their wellbeing
International research clearly indicates that the prevalence of mental disorders is high, comorbidity is common and the pathways that lead to illness are complex. Approximately half of the worldwide population meets the criteria for one or more mental disorders in their lifetime with 75% of mental disorders present before age 24 years and 50% before 14 years. Mental health costs are the largest single source of cost related to non-communicable disease; larger than cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, cancer, or diabetes. The World Economic Forum (WEF) estimates that the global cost of mental illness was nearly $2.5 trillion (two-thirds in indirect costs) in 2010, with a projected increase to over $6 trillion by 2030. If not addressed, the effects of mental ill-health can persist over an individuals lifetime and lead to further occupational, economic and interpersonal difficulties. Responding to the mental health needs of young people is critical if we are to ensure that they are able to contribute to the economy, lead fulfilling lives and participate actively in their communities. Over the last five years new and emerging technologies have fundamentally changed the way young people communicate, connect and build communities, both online and offline. Critical to this shift is the emergence of smart devices including phones and tablets. This presentation describes a unique collaboration between young people, researchers, technologists, the not of profit sector and policy makers across 75 organisations in Australia, the United States, Ireland and in developing countries. The Young and Well CRC is a Cooperative Research Centre funded by the Australian Government to explore the role of technologies and the impact they have on mental health and wellbeing.

Carlington Park and the Carlington Ski Hill have been in the news recently because of a proposed mountain bike park slated for the hill's meadow.
Many Ottawans don't even know about Carlington Park, which is a pity. It's teeming with life, has one of the best views of the city, and is a haven for urbanites who can't always get out into the country for some much-needed relaxation time.
Please join me and the Friends of Carlington for the Carlington Nature Walk, Sunday September 25, 2016 at 9:30 a.m.
Carlington Nature Walk
Imagine you're a city kid, nine or ten years old. Maybe your parents don't have much money, or they don't own a car. For that kid, there may not be many opportunities to get out into nature and connect with something other than an app. For that kid Carlington Park is a little slice of wild.
Carlington Park is a jewel in Ottawa's west end. Located in River Ward, Carlington has it all: ball diamonds, a soccer field, wooded trails, meadows for daydreaming, steep slopes for those who like a good work out, and from the top, one of the best views of the city. But Carlington is more than a place to exercise or relax…it is teeming with life of all kinds!
Join the Friends of Carlington and amateur naturalist and forager Sharon Boddy this Sunday for a one-hour nature walk through Carlington Park. You'll learn about some of the plants, insects and birds that make the park home and perhaps even nibble on a few wild edibles!
Meet at the intersection of McBride Street and Lepage Avenue, just south of Raven Park (1500 Larose Avenue). The #14 OC Transpo bus will take you to Raven and McBride. Map below.
The walk includes a slope that is quite steep in places (20%+ grade) and through high grasses and other plants. Those with allergies should exercise due diligence. Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes and long pants. If the weather is reasonably warm, there will be gnats and other flying insects, so you may also wish to bring or apply bug spray.
For information, visit the Friends of Carlington Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1105428122826947/). Let us know if you can make it by contacting either Linda Landry at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Sharon Boddy at her website Consume Less, Live More (or on Twitter @DasBod).

Daredevil - The Spence Edit
* The opening scene of DD in the church is removed. The film begins with Matt in the court room with Quesada.
* Origin story is spread out throughout the film and is much, much shorter.
* The Matt/Elektra playground fight is a lot shorter and a lot less ridiculous.
* The Kingpin's hip-hop introduction is cut.
* That horrible CGI shot of DD kicking Bullseye is a lot shorter.
* That horrid Evanescence song is removed from the Elektra training scene. It is now replaced with "Session" by Linkin Park, which fits the sequence very well. Before everyone moans about Linkin Park, this song is instrumental.
* Most of Matt's voice overs are removed, except for the stuff towards the end.
* This is kind of trivial, but it always bothered me: When Ben Urich hits delete on his keyboard to erase his story, he taps it once and erases the whole story, rather than holding it down. I have now changed it so it looks like he holds the button down. It's stupid, but it always annoyed me.
* A few little cuts and trims and re-ordering of shots, to keep the pace and make everything work.

I'm a little more unfamiliar with Daredevil and the characters in his portion of the Marvel Universe, but I've read enough stories with Elektra (Thunderbolts Now!) and Deadpool that have featured the blind crimefighter in some way or another. Anyway, having not seen the original due to hearing how awful it was, I desperately looked for Uncanny Antman's Daredevil but infamously was unable to find it, so when I found Spence's edit I was thrilled. Based on the changes made and other edits, I think this made for a much stronger movie than the original.
Considering we will see Afleck take on the role of the World's Greatest Detective in just a few years, I really wanted to see if he had the chops for a very physical but serious role as a superhero. Based on what I'd heard, I just kind of assumed that Ben Affleck was the problem with Daredevil, and this edit in particular has convinced me that I was mistaken.
Don't get me wrong, even with all the edits here this movie is still fairly ridiculous (but so much better than I imagine it was), mostly due to the (much more tame) dialogue but also because of the (thankfully much shortened here) church organ pipes fight scene. It's strange to me that with all this quality star power (with the exception of Favreau, he's a much better director than actor, though the same could be said of Affleck) that this movie turned out the way it did. Jennifer Garner proved she's got chops on Alias, and Colin Farrell has done great serious and comedic movies. Even Michael Clarke Duncan (RIP) is a great dramatic actor who really gave it his all in The Green Mile.
Regardless of all that, this edit found something in this movie that I think got overlooked by audiences in 2003 when it was in theaters. Sure all the cheese wasn't removed, but this edit definitely makes this movie feel a lot meatier overall. Spence tweaked the recipe enough so that this movie feels more like steak with some cheese instead of cheese with some bacon bits sprinkled on top in an attempt to give it some crunch.
While I'm not sure if I would recommend Daredevil as a movie to most people, if someone was interested in the Man Without Fear, I would highly suggest they check out the fine work Spence has done here, which absolves a lot of what made this movie so unlikable in the first place.

Spence's re-emergence on the forum to reveal plans of a second Daredevil edit, as well as Uncanny Antman's reveal that he too was working on an edit of the film, inspired me to revisit the director's cut of the film, as well as Spence's first Daredevil edit. I hadn't watched either cut in years so it was nice to watch them both so close together.
The director's cut is definitely the better of the two official cuts, but there are still some problems with it. Spence's edit attempts to rectify this, and does so, but only to a certain extent. There are still some moments I would have liked to have seen gone, but it's a step in the right direction.
Audio/Video Quality:
The video was perfect, except for one instance. During the transition from the scene with Matt in the sensory deprivation tank, to the scene from his childhood when he's blinded, there is a very brief instance of artifacting. It only lasts for a split second, but it is noticeable. The audio was good, but loses some points for being 2.0 instead of 5.1.
Visual Editing:
The editing wasn't bad, but there were several places were it was obvious that stuff was cut or rearranged. It could also be because I watched the director's cut yesterday and this edit today, so I was more aware of what should go where. Some of it is also due to the low background audio seeming to end abruptly in some instances. It's not really that distracting though.
Audio Editing:
Aside from the audio issue I mentioned above, which I really consider more of a visual editing issue than an audio one, there were a couple of times where the audio completely cut out. During both instances though it was right after something was said, so nothing was really lost, but it is really noticeable and kinda distracting.
The only other audio issue I have is with the replacement of the Evanescence song during Elektra's training montage. The new song that was used, an instrumental by Linkin Park, just doesn't gel with the scene. And while I was watching that scene I couldn't help but feel like the tv was on mute and the song was playing on the stereo.
Nothing's changed in regards to the story so I guess I'd give this a perfect score.
I'm one of the people who actually loves the movie. I saw it opening day, bought the 2-disc theatrical cut on DVD, the director's cut on DVD, and the director's cut on Blu-Ray. Since the director's cut was used as the source I'm going to compare it against that cut.
For me the director's cut is an 8 out of 10. It would have been a 10 out of 10 if they hadn't included the origin story, cut some of the "humor" that's still present from the theatrical cut, and various little bits that bugged me. Now obviously they couldn't get rid of the origin story since this is Daredevil's first film, but they should have been able to get rid of the lame jokes and over-the-top moments that are standard in your run of the mill superhero movie. Daredevil isn't your typical superhero though, he's your average everyday guy, who just happens to don a costume and fight crime at night. He's a dark and serious character, basically Marvel's answer to Batman, and he deserves a more grown up film.
For the most part Spence didn't make any big changes, mostly trimming bits here and there, trying to make the film more serious. Unfortunately though he decided to leave some the of the "humor" intact. The biggest offenders being the scene with Bullseye on the plane and the scene at the end when Bullseye kills a fly.
What he did that I loved though was start the film during Quesada's trial instead of starting with the origin story. The origin story has been severely trimmed down, and split in two parts, which are shown as flashbacks. While I appreciate that he really cut down on the origin story I would have preferred if he had cut it out altogether.
Despite leaving some of the "humor" intact, and not getting rid of the origin story completely, I'd have to say that I did enjoy this cut more than the director's cut. But only slightly.

Yes, I have in fact reinvented the lightbulb. Bulbgeo is the easiest way for you to transform your personal space. Even though it's small, this lightbulb has the ability to fill a room with geometry. It is laser cut, 3d printed and hand assembled just like all of my other products and can be installed into any normal (E26&E27) lightbulb outlet around your house. I have also designed a special outlet/bulb-holder just for Bulbgeo which can be added onto your order if you so please. It is controlled via remote with allows you to choose any color of the rainbow to fit whatever vibe you're feeling. There truly is no limit to light and geometry.
Dodechdron bulb size ( not including threaded base) is: 3.5"x3.5"x3.5"

With the UK leaving the EU, a fall in the value of the pound, increased trading tariffs on raw materials from Europe and the end of freedom of movement could all increase the cost of housebuilding.
In January, 70% of builders reported a rise in material costs due to the fall in the value of the pound.
The research from the Federation of Master Builders found there had been a 22% increase in the cost of Spanish slate and a 20% rise in timber costs.
Meanwhile, a number of developers and housebuilders have warned of a skills shortage following the UK's departure from the EU.
- Is modular housing really cheaper?
- Can modular homes solve the housing crisis?
- Can technology solve the construction skills shortage?
How can modular housing reduce the impact of rising material costs?
Speaking to Development Finance Today, James Lidgate, head of housing at Legal & General Capital, - a modular housebuilder – felt modular housing construction could negate some of the risks to housebuilding post-Brexit.
"Unlike traditional methods of housebuilding, modular construction is faster and far less labour intensive.
"Modular factories also create employment in areas where it is needed the most and training opportunities can be maximised, providing long-term, stable jobs.
"Given that 11% of UK construction labour comes from the EU - and this proportion is far higher in London and the South East - and the shortage of skilled labour that currently exists, these benefits of offsite construction may negate some of the risks associated with a structurally different labour force post-Brexit."
However, James added that it was supportive of keeping strong trading links with its EU suppliers as the UK worked its way through the upcoming negotiations.
Sam Howard, COO at Regentsmead, felt leaving the EU could have an impact on the cost and consequently the uptake of modular homes due to the falling pound and the related import costs.
"Modular housing using component parts sourced from abroad will arguably increase in price and potentially reduce the perceived cost benefit over traditional housing.
"Without innovative solutions to the housing market crisis - like modular building - we will never build the amount of new homes required.
"One solution to [the] impending cost inflation due to the falling pound is to establish a UK modular construction industry."
The cost of modular housing can also depend on where the units are being manufactured.
For example, work has begun on a modular-built hotel in Luton, but is being constructed in Poland.
"If Sterling weakens further, the input costs will rise, regardless of where the modular units are manufactured," explained Michael Dean, principal at Avamore Capital.
"That being said, with so many of the construction workforce being EU migrants (many of whom will leave the UK), the construction industry may increasingly rely on modular construction as it requires fewer workers on site.
"Increased demand plus higher input costs will inevitably lead to higher costs of modular homes therefore."

One has to be impressed with the longevity of the LEGO crossover video games. They're pretty standard affair nowadays and they are certain hits on the charts, but has anybody ever realized what they are in essence?
LEGO got an unknown developer, Traveler's Tales, to adapt their toyline's crossover with big movie licenses and make decent games off of them.
And they did it! Since 2005 the LEGO X franchise has been strong, starting with Star Wars, moving to Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean and Batman. Movies-to-games are almost always a disaster and toys-to-games fair even worse, but Traveler's Tales has been producing strong titles that are both for over seven years now!
Their latest release, "LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes" is their most ambitious project to-date; it's the original sequel to an original game, i.e. not one following after pre-existing material such as a movie.
I'm of two minds when it comes to this entire series and this applies to the latest installment as well. On one hand, I'm more than a little perturbed that in seven years the series hasn't changed a bloody thing in the way it's played. There are a few additions and neat tricks here and there, but for the most part the game-design is identical in all of these games.
On the other hand, it's hard to be mad about this. They are all pretty insubstantial and "if it ain't broke don't fix it", but they always play on their strengths-- and these strengths don't include gameplay.
There is something deeply nostalgic about revisiting favorite properties through the eyes of adorable LEGO figurines in a world made of colored bricks. TT Games always licenses the soundtracks of these properties and recreates entire scenes from the movies the games are based on.
Their ingenuity hides in the fact that all the titles are family friendly without becoming exclusive to kids. An entire family, of whatever age, can sit down and enjoy them, with the older people reminiscing their youth through nostalgia and younger players just enjoying the simplistic gameplay and accessible humor.
If it seems like I'm stalling talking about LEGO Batman 2, it's because there isn't much to say about it. If you've played one of these games, you've played them all. Go around linear levels, break blocks, collect coins, beat iconic villains, team up with a friend and solve puzzles.
The same problems that existed before are still there; unlocking stuff requires coins and finding coins requires endless grinding. The controls are a bit off in certain places and thanks to the camera, some jumps are deathtraps, because when your entire world is made of monochrome blocks, depth-perception isn't as well-defined as one would think.
But these are small details that don't really detract from the game. The levels are well-designed, the gameplay remains simplistic but engaging enough to maintain one's attention span and the game's flow is fast, not allowing for a moment's peace.
The different gadgets and suits make a return from the first LEGO Batman, requiring a deeper level of cooperation and adding a lot of variety in levels and this time, the universe expands by bringing in more super-heroes.
This was the game's most publicized new feature prior to release-- no kidding, it's in the damned title! The trap here is that you only get to unlock Superman half-way-through the story mode (and unsurprisingly he gets incapacitated toward the end of the game) and only get to unlock Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and Cyborg one mission before the finale.
Since combat in the game is traditionally shit, their powers only exist to interact with the environment and solve puzzles. Prior to their appearance, the different Bat-suits fill for that role. Also unsurprisingly, none of the Leaguers is particularly useful if you have Superman in your team.
The story mode ends at roughly 20% total completion. Afterwards, there is free-play, the chance to replay story-missions and scout around Gotham City for extra coins, collectibles and to recruit more characters. Of course in "Free Play" you can revisit story missions using whichever unlockable character you wish. Even so, the game just doesn't make much use of anyone outside Batman and Robin (and to a lesser extend, Superman).
It's a Batman game, yeah, but after so much publicity on including the Justice League, at best this is just a trial run to make more DC Universe hero LEGO games. In fact, a teaser at the end of the story-mode may finally be hinting at the much-wished-for LEGO Superman game, likely to coincide with the release of "Man of Steel" next year, which is just as well; whatever you play of Superman in this game is probably the best Superman game ever.
Visually, the characters look adorable, the environments look sharp and shiny, the animations are as fluid as blocky figures allow and the building, gadget and vehicles designs are actually pretty awesome. Seriously, if there are toys like these out there, I want them.
The audio is great too. This is the first game in the series that actually features fully-voiced dialogue for the story, as opposed to the other games' character mannerisms. I was as concerned as everybody else that the humor wouldn't translate as well, but I honestly don't think I can go back to the pantomime humor now.
The story isn't very smart, but it does its job; presidential candidate Lex Luthor makes a 'disintegrator' that tears apart things made of black LEGO blocks (like Batman's entire arsenal). He then breaks the Joker out of Arkham, so that the clown can synthesize his famous gas and use it on the voters to get them to vote for Lex.
Holes all around the plot, but not enough to bother anyone seriously, certainly not any more than your average Saturday morning cartoon. It even includes a number of cute in-jokes that comic fans will recognize.
The dialogue is pretty silly, but it's the endearing type of silly. I would compare it to the humor of "Batman: The Brave & The Bold", but they are actually quite different. In LEGO Batman 2, Batman is still every bit the dick he usually is; the humor lies in everybody pointing it out. The jokes are generally of the "parody" variety, at least when it comes to the heroes.
The voice acting is all-around solid and once again, the background music is none other than Danny Elfman's 1989's "Batman" soundtrack, with the main theme from "Superman: The Movie" taking over whenever you fly with DC's boyscout over Gotham.
And yes, if you have to be like that, I did giggle like a schoolgirl on meth when I got to shoot up into the sky with the John Williams' theme blaring in the background.
Nobody needs a recommendation from me. The game has been dominating the UK charts for weeks and for good reason; despite all the problems that it carries over from the lacking core design of the entire series, it's still a thoroughly fun game to play, especially with a friend and probably the best video-game you could get and play with your kids.
It may get a bit repetitive and tiring in solo mode, as you are tasked with doing everything on your own, but the presentation, the set-pieces and the puzzles, simplistic as they may be, compensate for the game's other shortcomings.
By the by, will anybody ever bring up the SLAUGHTERING of both villains and innocent bystanders in this game by the heroes, or do we pretend it doesn't happen just because they explode into plastic pieces?
The Good: Great audiovisual presentation, good humor, addicting even if somewhat repetitive gameplay, great length if going for 100% completion.
The Not-So-Good: Brings nothing new to the series in gameplay, navigating controls are kind of shit, campaign is a little short.
The Terrible: Grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind
Rating: 4.0/5 ('Very Good')

Last week I went up to New York to attend the launch of the first U.S. ad campaign for Côtes du Rhône wines. While I wouldn't ordinarily go on about advertising, I like this campaign (and no, it's not just from watching too much "Mad Men.") It's simple and the slogan, Côtes du Rhône – Always Right, captures perfectly what we at first vine have been trying to say, with a considerably smaller budget, for the two-and-a-half years of our existence! 🙂
The essence of the message is that no matter where you are or what you're eating there is a Côtes du Rhône wine that will serve nicely as an accompaniment. Dare and I have blathered on about this for a while now. But in looking back over our old posts and newsletters, I noticed we never tried to explain why it is that these wines are indeed "always right." (I know, you thought we'd explained everything to death. And more than once, too. But that's the beauty of wine — there's always more!)
First, a geographical definition. Côtes du Rhône refers to the valley in southern France created by the Rhône River, which originates in the Swiss Alps and empties into the Mediterranean after traversing a good swath of France. The actual Côtes du Rhône growing and producing region starts south of Lyon and covers large parts of the Drôme and Vaucluse départements practically down to Aix-en-Provence. There are approximately 6,000 grape producers in vineyards that cover an area roughly the size of the five boroughs of New York City. The winemaking area is divided into northern and southern parts, and then further divided into the villages that produce wine.
The finest French wine grapes are almost always grown in soil that won't easily support other crops, and on terrain that would otherwise be difficult to farm. The vines thrive with the stress of finding nutrients and water, and the roots dig deep, sometimes 50 feet or more, practically becoming part of the soil. The vine fields are surrounded by herbs and other shrubs that grow wild. These same plants carry over to the pastureland and fields that are used for food crops, fruits, and vegetables. It all runs more or less seamlessly together, from wheat, cows, walnuts, and apples in the northern part to goats, sheep, lemons, olives, strawberries, tomatoes, and eggplants in the south. All on land carved out by the river over millions of years.
While we talk a lot about "slow food" these days, this is as close to the real deal as I have experienced (I'm sure there are purists who can name places elsewhere that are more "authentically" slow food). Don't get me wrong, everyone in France shops at supermarkets, and they're all busy. But it is possible to buy your goat cheese from the person who makes it, and to get fresh cheese every day and taste how it changes with the weather and the seasons. Down the road from the goat farm you'll find someone who raises other livestock and makes his own charcuterie. Go a little further to the olive mill and buy olive oil from producers in the village. Visit the village markets and get amazing local strawberries beginning in late March through May and June. And everywhere in between there will be wine.
OK, let the eye-rolling begin! Of course it's not totally idyllic, and people do have to make a living. (Forget about the old man in a beret riding his bicycle on a country road with a bouquet of sunflowers and a baguette sticking out of the wicker basket in front. He was probably an extra hired by your tour company!) But there really is something to the thought that the wine grapes grow alongside most of the food that we like to eat. While you won't find all of the world's cuisines in the Rhône valley, you will still find a Rhône wine that goes with virtually any meal you can think of.
So what do you do to support that claim after writing newsletters for two years and putting over 100 recipes out into the ether? My first thought was to give you a recipe for something non-European that would be quick to make and pair with a bunch of different wines. But I decided to save that for my next post. Instead, in honor of the new ad campaign, here's a stunning recipe and wine pairing, every bit the equivalent of that tuxedo jacket in the ad. It's a lamb stew with white beans, adapted from Nick Stellino's Family Kitchen. I never saw him cook on television and picked up this book in a store discount pile for $3.99. Those of you who have seen Cy's and my home know that I have piles of cookbooks around, especially next to the bed, and read them like magazines. I'm always happy to have an inexpensive cookbook to look at and have a pretty low threshold for my bedtime reading. I marked the lamb stew recipe and tried it a few months later when Cy's mother came to visit.
Well, it blew the three of us away. I'm not exactly sure why it's so achingly delicious, but it has been magnificent every time I've made it. Even with store-bought stock, Safeway lamb stew meat, and generic stewed tomatoes. When you channel Ina Garten and use "really good" ingredients, it's transcendent. Pair the stew with Cave la Vinsobraise Emeraude ($18), made at the co-op in Vinsobres. I have a soft spot for this wine, since Cave la Vinsobraise was one of first vine's first producers, and their wines were my introduction in France to the joys of the Côtes du Rhône. The Emeraude is 60% Grenache, and 40% Syrah, with grapes from vines that are at least 40 years old and hand-selected from the best vineyards in the co-op. It's aged in oak to soften the tannin, and the oak really helps the wine match beautifully with lamb in general, and this stew in particular. (Don't use it in the recipe itself, since you don't need something this elegant as an ingredient. Of course, we have some tips about that, too).
There – I've said everything I can. Go forth, cook, drink, and enjoy! Serve it to anyone you love or want to impress. And while you're doing all that chopping and browning, you can console yourself with the thought that it's tough being "always right." But someone has to do it! 😉
Bon Appetit!
Lamb Stew with White Beans
Serves 6
½ cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 to 3-1/4 pounds lamb stew meat or boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
6-8 tablespoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 onion, cut in half lengthwise and sliced thinly horizontally
1 heaping tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
¼ teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
2 14.5 ounce cans Italian-style stewed tomatoes, drained and chopped into large pieces, juice reserved (you can use regular stewed tomatoes if you can't find the Italian-style)
1 tablespoon plus ¼ cup chopped fresh mint
1 cup red wine
3 cups beef stock
2 15-ounce cans white small white beans, drained and rinsed
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss in the lamb, a few pieces at a time, to coat lightly. In a Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Shake any excess flour off the lamb and brown in the oil. (You'll have to do this in at least two batches to avoid crowding the pieces). Remove each browned batch and set aside in another bowl. Add a tablespoon of oil and heat well before each batch.
In the same pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and then add the garlic, onion, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the garlic starts to brown, stirring well to get the brown bits off the bottom of the pot, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until they're dry, 3-4 minutes. Add the 1 tablespoon of mint and return the lamb to the pot. Toss well to combine.
Add the wine and gently scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate the brown bits into the liquid. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium and cook until the liquid is reduced by half.
Add the reserved tomato juice and stock. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 1 hour. Stir occasionally and be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot. Uncover and cook for 15 minutes more. Add the beans and cook, uncovered, for about 10 more minutes, until the sauce is reasonably thick and the meat is tender. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the ¼ cup mint and parsley and serve.

With just over 10,000 employees, one would have felt any staff or relative carrying a GTBANK office ID tag is a God-given bread winner. But that isn't the case when we initially came across an aggrieved staff that had just resigned from the customer service centre (E-centre) of the bank; purportedly the brainbox behind their successful internet banking. An initial article from another embattled staff was posted on nairaland few days back and we felt it was high time we talked about this issue.
Mr XYZ's analogy of GTBANK's customer service centre (the E-Centre or GTConnect located at Elegushi junction beside Meadow hall in LEKKI Lagos is similar to 'black stokers working in a Kunta Kinte slave ship'. He described the managers as "RUTHLESS BUSINESSMEN"
Read more about GTBANK here
We strongly believe GTBANK is not the only culprit here as most agencies in these tumultous times would cut all corners by any means to raise profit margins and what most do is resort to employing Indian and Lebanese managers for their uncanny shrewdness. Most brands operating in Nigeria have not yet mastered management of the overwhelming effect of high customer volumes and demand when their campaign ideas starts converting speedily. MTN, GLOBACOM etc have all been guilty of this.
Earlier this month (July 2016) this is the reply a GTBANK customer got on twitter from Mr Andrew Alli a retiring top executive of GTBANK.
Mr Andrews reply below:
WE LEAVE YOU WITH THIS TO FILL UP THE DOTTED LINES. But remember, a brand is what people call it. Once your customers (no matter how poor or wretched they may be) stops talking about a brand then the brand better starts counting its days. A BRAND THAT LOSES CUSTOMER LOYALTY IS DOOMED TO GO UNDER. THANK YOU.
This article is not in any case meant to propagate negative press against any individual, brand or agency. However we hope this gets to the appropriate regulatory agencies so that adequate measures can be put in place to create a conducive working environment for every worker. No human being deserves to die trying to make a living.
Watch out for more articles on pressing issues regarding brands and advertising. Thank you for reading and listening.

Keeping chronic conditions front of mind
Geoff has been a guitar maker for 30 years and lives with his partner Stephanie near Fremantle, WA. See how, together, they use mindfulness as an important way of managing his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
"I was diagnosed in 1994, and everything was pretty fine – I was active, doing things – up until about five years ago. Then I started to notice a steady decline," says Geoff about his condition.
For the last two years, Geoff has used Silver Chain's telehealth service, a remote health care option for our respiratory clients where they record their daily health observations ("obs") and symptoms through an electronic device.
This device can recognise changes in their condition and will alert our telehealth nurses, who then call the client to assess their condition and advise on what action to take. This enables early identification of issues, and a fast response, to help people manage their condition more effectively.
Like all telehealth clients, Geoff uses the equipment provided to log his readings each morning, before going to work.
"It's a matter of making me conscious of my condition and keeping my mind on my health – it helps me to be mindful."
He also goes to Fiona Stanley Hospital twice a week to as part of his exercise program, to stay active and keep muscle tone.
"COPD is a weird disease; some days I'll have a good day and some days I'll think, 'Hang on, I'm really struggling here.' I'm not going to improve it, but the idea is to keep me upright as long as possible – it's as easy as that.
"What the disease has done for me is taken away a certain level of confidence. I realised that when I did things, I tended to do them in a hurry. But now when I'm doing something, I have to think about it – about how I'm going to do it, when I'm going to do it, and what could be the repercussions."
From Stephanie's point of view, the telehealth service has been a huge relief.
"With Telehealth, it's been such a weight off my shoulders. Before that, I was bearing a lot of the anxiety – Geoff wasn't always paying attention, as a lot of blokes don't! But then they get in dire trouble; and it all falls on you to decide: is his condition really serious; is this a trip to hospital; should I call an ambulance?
"Using the telehealth service, it makes it his routine and responsibility; and then a medical professional gives their advice. You cannot know how what a huge relief that has been for me and I am so grateful for that."
Geoff notes that Stephanie is more mindful than him; but he's getting better at it – and telehealth is helping.
"The Silver Chain telehealth service is excellent; I do appreciate the time and effort of the nursing team," he said.
"It's a great service, because the idea is to keep you out of hospital – and the longer you can keep people out of hospital, the better."
Using telehealth technology, Silver Chain's respiratory service can reach more people and help them to take control of their own health and wellbeing. Find out more about our respiratory care.
World COPD Day 2018 is being recognised on is 21 November with the theme: Never too early, never too late.

Housed in a rugged, compact half-rack enclosure you can take anywhere, the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid is equally well-suited for studio and stage, with or without a computer. As an interface or standalone mixer, the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid provides 10 separate inputs and 14 separate outputs.
Connect all of your studio gear, including microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines, effects processors and even MIDI devices. Record, monitor, route and process all of these live inputs using the professional on-board CueMix FX digital mixer -- with no latency and no processor strain on your computer. Apply hardware DSP-driven effects processing to inputs, outputs, and busses independent of your host computer. Add Classic Reverb(TM) with lengths up to 60 seconds. Further sculpt your sound with 7-band parametric EQ featuring filter types carefully modeled after British analog console EQs. Choose between two forms of compression: a conventional compressor and the Leveler(TM), an accurate model of the legendary LA-2A(TM) optical compressor that provides vintage, musical automatic gain control.
The included CueMix FX cross-platform mixing software provides attractive graphic mixing, graphic editing of parametric EQ, and a convenient tabbed interface for quick access to all features in one window. Use the CueMix FX to tune your guitar and other instruments. Advanced signal analysis tools include a full-screen real-time FFT display, spectrogram "waterfall" display, oscilloscope, X-Y plot and linear or polar phase analysis.
After programming the on-board mixing in the studio, unplug the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid from the computer and take it on the road for operation as a stand-alone mixer with effects. All mixing and effects parameters are adjustable using the front panel backlit LCD.
The UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid provides cross-platform compatibility with Mac and Windows and all of your favorite audio software and host-based effects via WDM/ASIO/Core Audio drivers. Or you can use the included AudioDesk workstation software for Mac, with 24-bit recording/editing and 32-bit mixing/processing/mastering.
Comprehensive I/O The Ultralite-mk3 Hybrid allows you to connect a wide variety of studio gear, including microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines, effects processors and more.
Front panel I/O
The Ultralite-mk3 Hybrid's front-panel volume knob controls the headphone or main outputs with the press of a button. Additionally, the knob can be programmed to control any combination of outputs (analog and/or digital). For example, it can control monitor output for an entire 5.1 or 7.1 surround mix.
Digitally controlled analog input trimAll of the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid's analog inputs are equipped with digitally controlled analog trim controls that allow adjustments in precise 1 dB increments. The mic/guitar input trims can be adjusted using front-panel digital rotary encoders that provide feedback in the front panel LCD. All analog inputs, including eight TRS analog inputs, can be trimmed using the CueMix FX control software for Mac and Windows.
This allows you to fine-tune your trim settings for synths, effects modules and a wide variety of analog inputs for optimum levels. Different trim configurations can then be saved as files on disk for instant recall.
Rear panel I/OSix balanced (TRS) 24-bit analog inputs and ten outputs can operate at sample rates up to 192 kHz (a total of eight analog inputs and ten analog outputs). RCA S/PDIF connectors also supply independent stereo digital I/O.
Control room monitoringPowered monitors can be plugged directly into the outputs of the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid and you can attenuate the output from the software or the front-panel VOL control. Main out volume is not limited to stereo operation: quad, 5.1, 7.1 and even user-defined configurations are available. You can even program the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid to control all 14 outputs with the VOL knob. X

Royal Twins: Kate Middleton Is the Spitting Image of Princess Diana in the New Royal Portraits
Both Duchesses Kate and Meghan have a knack for paying tribute to their late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, in the sweetest ways.
But Kate Middleton's latest outfit in the new royal portrait honoring Prince Charles's 70th birthday has us wondering if she inherited Diana's wardrobe (judging by the uncanny likeness of her polka-dot dress).
Upon further inspection, Princess Diana's dress, which she wore during a meeting at Kensington Palace in 1985 (oh, heyyy, baby Harry in the background), had a silk bow in the front. The Duchess of Cambridge's navy dress with ivory collar is actually from designer Alessandra Rich.
But a touching tribute to Di nonetheless. Brava, Kate!

The clothes challenge was a self-imposed challenge to buy no new ready made clothes or fabric until the end of September. New clothes & fabric have to come from charity shops or other 2nd hand sources or be made from my stash.
I'm pleased to report that I have kept to the challenge. New stuff includes only trims, thread & some wool so that I can learn to knit socks.
Strangely, I haven't bought much clothing for refashioning either. I've been wearing things I already have & working out new outfits from what's already in the wardrobe. I've even given some things away, so I've a bit more space than I had before.
Is this a side effect of not being able to go clothes shopping? Does anyone have any experience of this phenomenon? I'd be very interested to know your thoughts on this.
Meantime I am working on Vogue 1171 from 1950. Details to follow.

As usual, NO CUSTOM CONTENT used.
LOADING TIME: For fast machines, this could take up to 10-15 minutes to load. For slower machines, it WILL load, but will take up to 30 minutes. Be patient. :)
IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ: Random times there will be windows appearing to be higher than the wall. To fix this, just go to build mode, use the hand tool, and click the window to grab it, then click it again to place it back.
REGARDING CEILINGS: You may add ceilings, but there is a huge risk of MANY floating tiles. I tried it multiple times but ended up having to settle for decorless ceilings because it always corrupts the ceilings no matter what I do.
GARAGE DOORS: I didn't use garage doors as the garage doors in the game did not fit the look. You may replace the garage doors with those from FAST LANE STUFF or your CC collection if you prefer. Just remove the windows I made to look like garage doors.
HOME THEATRE: If you have SHOWTIME, you can replace the TV in the home theatre with the big ones from that EP. That way you will have a really big screen!

Riding This Complaint Train
(I work at the one of the two kids' areas at a theme park. The one I work at closes at 8:00 pm, and the other is open until the park closes. I don't have people in my line or on my ride for the last ten minutes we are open, so I have all the "cars" buckled up and ready for closing. When I look at my watch, it is 8:01, so I finish closing by pressing the end of the day e-stop, which disconnects all power to the ride. I can't start it again if even if I want to, because only managers have the keys for it. It is currently 8:06, and I am about to take the height stick and leave the ride.)
Customer: "C'mon, kids, let's ride [Ride] before we leave!"
Me: "I'm sorry, ma'am, but we are no longer open and I am no longer able to run [Ride]."
Customer: "But my kids always ride all the rides when we come here, and I was waiting around the ride for five minutes waiting for my kids. We have season passes and they love these rides!"
Me: *thinking* "If you have season passes, then you can obviously come back another day." *what I actually say* "Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but the end of the day e-stop has been depressed, and I can no longer run the ride even if I wanted to. If your kids were in line before eight I would have been happy to, but no one was in line and I have closed the ride up for the night."
Customer: "Why is it pressed? [Park] is open until ten, right?"
Me: "Yes, but [Area] closes at eight. It is now 8:10."
Customer: "Oh, well, it won't take long to run the ride, just UN-depress the e-stop."
Me: "I can't. I do not have the key to do that."
Customer: "I cannot believe this. I want to know your name right now! I will be leaving a complaint and getting you fired!"
Me: "I'm sorry, but no. I am doing my job as I have been trained to do. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I cannot run the ride."
Customer: "But she—" *points to coworker running another ride* "—was running her ride at eight!"
Me: "Yes, but she also had guests in line at eight and I didn't; therefore, I shut down the ride after eight. I do not have the key to run this ride anymore, but [Other Kid Area] is still open, and they have plenty of rides that I'm sure your kids will love."
Customer: "They have already been there and ridden those rides today."
(I see my supervisor walking by.)
Me: "There's my supervisor now."
(I call him over and explain the situation.)
Supervisor: "Ma'am, she is doing her job and the ride is shut down."
Customer: "Well, if you didn't have only three people on these rides back here, we would have made it in time!"
Supervisor: "We only have three back here because it's been a slow day and had some people call out today. But since we only had three, I'll make an exception and unlock the ride. But, just so you know, she was doing her job exactly right and shouldn't run the ride unless you were already in line, which you weren't."
(The customer smirks while I look at my supervisor in disbelief. While I'm letting the kids off the ride after it has been run, the woman says:)
Customer: "See? If you just ran it to start with, we would be gone and you would be going home." *walks away*

African Diamonds issues detailed plan to shareholders
source: Sunday Standard
by Prof Malema
African Diamond Plc, the diamond company involved in AK 6 resources, has issued out a scheme of arrangement to shareholders, indicating that it is planning to de-list on both the London and Botswana Stock Exchanges (BSE), before the end of the year.
The move follows what was dubbed a "compelling" offer by Lucara when it proposed to acquire all African Diamonds shares and locking its shareholders into a much bigger company with operations in the southern African region.
The total value of the proposed transaction will be $ 82 million Canadian (US $ 80 million, P 528 million ) —representing a 27 percent upside — based on Lucara price and Canadian dollar exchange rate as at the close of [continue reading]

Watercolor Demo by Carole Loiacono
After the March monthly meeting Carole Loiacono [pron. lo yak' ono] delighted us by painting a scene from Gloucester Harbor. See some photos from her demo below.
Carole usually likes to paint en plein air because she it allows her to capture the feeling of the location. She starts with a thumbnail-sketch value study and uses a limited palette with her favorites of yellow ochre, alizarin crimson, cerulean blue, cobalt blue, burnt sienna, phthalo blue, ultramarine blue, cadmium red light, cadmium yellow light, and lemon yellow.
An underpainting of yellow ochre gives a glow to the final painting. Her dark neutrals are layers of burnt sienna, alizarin crimson and phthalo blue using very little water. Then a damp brush us used to remove paint from some of the lighter areas.
Tarpon Watercolor Plein Air artists paint together at different locations on Wednesday mornings. Call Carole for time and location: [Her contact info is in last photo]
