Is Modern Technology Increasing Our Risk Of Cancer?
We are creating and inspiring a tradition of distraction where we're increasingly disconnected from the folks and events round us, and more and more unable to engage in lengthy-kind pondering. Since its launch in 1995, Information Age has been thought to be some of the revered technology titles within the B2B realm. Science helps humans achieve elevated understanding of how the world works, while know-how helps scientists make these discoveries. Theories of know-how often try and predict the future of technology based on the excessive expertise and science of the time. Read more examples of how Rave's suite helps velocity responses and improve group engagement on our stories web page.
I feel that it is very important be able to use modern expertise because eventually we won't use books and even paper. So, to make our world prosperous, we must always use the trendy technology within the good ways and …

What Is In Your Police Departments Back Yard?
"We used to call them peace officers and they would treat people … with more respect and civility," he said to the Journal-Constitution. "We're getting away from that. We're getting into these military tactics and mindset that the people they (police) come into contact with are the enemy … and part of this is the militarized units in police departments."
Indeed, it is only logical that the militarized training and military-grade equipment would create a military mindset officers who should be trained to protect and serve.
According to Georgia state records, some of the acquisitions include:
- One armored truck, 106 M16s and eight M14s for the Cobb County Police Department (in addition to a second armored vehicle purchased using federal grant funds)
- One armored personnel carrier, 15 M16s and 12 M14s for the Newnan Police Department
- Two armored personnel carriers and 16 M15 rifles for the Waycross Police Department

Dualism of Human Nature
According to Durkheim's work The Dualism of Human Nature and Its Social Conditions (DHN), a man has a dual nature which is made up of the body (individual) and the soul (social). He sheds light on this by citing post-Durkheim theories which he does not agree with and which do not solve the problem of this dual nature. Durkheim also uses The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life (EFRL) to discuss the religious aspect of the body and soul. Upon reading, it is discovered that as society evolves, so does this "dual nature."
In DHN, Durkheim argues that sociology must examine what an individual consists of because it is a result of the whole society. It is this society which determines an individuals' temperament or being. "Although sociology is defined as the science of societies, it cannot, in reality, deal with the human groups that are the immediate object of its investigation without eventually touching on the individual who is the basic element of which these groups are composed" (p.1)
In EFRL, Durkheim states that from a religious aspect, human nature is composed of two conflicting beings, although "closely associated": body- worldly and wicked/irreligious, and the soul- holy, "autonomous" upon "death." It is then that we introduced to the concept that man has a dual nature, a sentiment confirmed through psychology. We are also introduced to the idea that there are two states of consciousness in our human nature that are at odds just as the body and the soul- social and individual. In DHN, Durkheim agrees with the opposing ideas of the body and the soul. He believes it is the role of science to explain this opposition. There were two theories that try and explain this dual nature: (1) Empirical monism- social principles or perceptions that are grouped together, are similar in nature, yet are individual, meaning these ideas are just a cover for self-interests, which actually have...

Yelp Reviews
We receive lots of great reviews from our customers on Yelp. But unfortunately, most are removed or hidden to the public from our Yelp page for reasons which Yelp does not disclose. Even after proving the validity of the reviews, Yelp does not show them to the public on our profile page.
So to ensure our customers are aware of all the positive reviews that are not seen on our page, we are listing some of those reviews here for your reference.
"We've used Berkeys for years for both air conditioning and plumbing, and always been very happy with their service. Recently we had an extensive water loss at our property and Berkeys was there for us the entire way. They diagnosed the issue, made clear recommendations for the repairs, and did all the plumbing work along the way. They interfaced directly with the remediation company and made the process easy for us. When putting everything back together, they went above and beyond to accommodate our budget, timing, and other requests. They were flexible, punctual, and always pleasant. They showed up when they said they would and did the work as promised. Zac and Andy were key in making all this happen. I highly recommend this company; they do quality work with integrity."View Full Review »
"I've used Berkeys many times over the last several years. Every technician has been friendly and considerate. They understand that any call for house repairs can be nerve-racking for a homeowner. They understand their customer's state of mind and take care of us."
"Repair on a Sunday!!! Thank you Berkeys. Technician was fair honest, in-time! Could not have asked for a better experience. He explained the problem. Fixed it, less than what I had expected and gave me advice how to possibly avoid the same thing happening in the future. Crazy good service!!"
"We recently had our annual heating system check. They sent us notification and we called to set an appointment for the following week. We got a reminder the day before and also a call when the technician was on his way. Our system was in great shape and needed nothing. We love the dependable structure that Berkeys has for our HVAC checkups every year. Whenever Berkeys people come to our house, they are always very courteous. We are told the objectives of the call and if an estimate is needed, it is done quickly at that time. We get a full explanation and any questions are answered. You can tell that there is good management and good training as the high level of service does not vary from person to person. The follow up, if needed, is also at the top of the scale."
"Our tech, Brandon Cronkhite, truly surprised us with his honest, straight-forward approach. I was personally dreading the obligatory product & service up-sell (which comes with practically any service call from any company), but was really impressed with his knowledge and experience. Of course, discussing price is always a downside, however, Brandon took the time and worked with us to develop a plan worthy of any family stretching to reach median income in our present economy. Moving our condenser, water heater, several gas lines & electric was no simple task, several other companies & various"
"Roger Sarginson was patient. Although we thought the charges were high, we approved the work after he took us up to the attic and explained exactly what he would be doing. We have used Berkey's for at least two years and all of their techs are courteous and well-trained."
"Our garage disposal went out and we had Dr. Plumber come to do install. He let us know we needed a plumber to snake the drain (he was a plumber but couldn't do service idk?). I waited 24 hours for Dr. Plumber to call to come back out to snake the drain, but they never called. So, I called Berkeys and they had a tech out in 3 hours. My tech was Bryce, he was very professional and friendly. Bryce answered all my questions and did such a great job, I had him come out the next day for my tankless hot water heater de-scaling. Plus, they had a special where I saved about $100 from normal pricing. Needless to say I was very satisfied and will be calling them for all my plumbing or A/C issues."
"AC went out on a 100 degree heat day and Berkeys was out an hour after I called. Tren Nguyen was our service guy and by far the best technician we've had from Berkeys in all of the years we've used them. Re-signed my year commitment and will request Tren in the future."
"Berkey's delivers excellent service every time. We use them for our air conditioning & plumbing needs and everything has always been excellent. The technicians are knowledgeable and each has been honest and open. Today Keith came out to work on our hot water heater. All it needed was the pilot reset. He did only that. He also replaced the collar on the garbage disposal. Fair price for honest work!"
"We had an unexpected busted kitchen sink the customer service was pleasant and prompt in scheduling repairs with lower costs than other local plumbers. Bryce Bowden was our technician today and extended punctual arrival for scheduled appointment, thorough expedited repairs, professional presentation and personality, and offered helpful and preventive recommendations for reoccurring future services and repairs."
"Great experience with Berkeys. Dewayne Wallace was my service call tech for a plumbing problem. He explained everything and it turned out to be something minor. I'll definitely call them again and would recommend them to a friend. I was so happy I even signed up for their service plan."
"I have had Berkeys handle all of our plumbing needs for the past 2 years and I have been very satisfied with their service. Our technician, Carlos Peza, is always very friendly and explains everything in detail. It seems like there are quite a few negative reviews but I have not seen that at all. In fact, everyone needs to remember that most people will take the time to write a review when they experience what they consider to be a negative interaction but they will not do the same thing when they get what they pay for. I would recommend Berkeys and Carlos to anyone."
"Bryce, our technician, arrived early and promptly fixed our problem. He made sure our garbage disposal was working before leaving the job. Berkey's has consistently served us with great and timely service at a fair price. We continue to call on them for our air conditioning and plumbing needs. Kimberly & John K."
"Have used Berkeys for two years and absolutely love them. Fair prices and quick response. Technician Roger Sarginson is amazing"
"Called Berkey's this morning because of an ac issue….tech was here by about 1:30. The tech was Tren Nguyen. He was friendly, courteous and professional. Tren had my issue resolved quickly. He is a great ambassador for your company! We will continue to use Berkeys for our ac, heating and plumbing issues."
"I signed up for their maintanance program so I really did not have any huge problems. Dan was the service man and he was very polite and told me of some potential problems but did not push anything on me."
"I called on a weekend with a sever air conditioning problem and the tech came out right away. I probably could have got a better price elsewhere but I had no problems with Roger Sarginson, who fixed my air conditioning problem. Was honest on what needed to be done asap and what I could wait on to save some money. Very professional"
"Just got done with a service/repair call and can say that everything went well. I called yesterday and they were able to schedule an appointment today. Dan Jackson was the tech and he was very informative, checked out everything before giving me a quote. I chose a few of the items (others were just recommended, but not something needed ASAP). Great friendly service."
"They were on-time, thorough and like every year, they are completely very well organized and wonderful to work with. Thank you"

This is the sequel we've been waiting for! Our boy, Blazko is back! And in this installment, weird and wild Nazi super-science creates even more strange adversaries to plaster with lead! Now, this wouldn't be complete without an alternate timeline and everything! But, The New Order takes it a step further. The Year is 1960, we lost WWII, and the Nazis rule over the world! Despite Captain Blazkowics' failure to stop Deathshead all those years ago, he's back to set things right! More after the jump…
The prologue takes place in an alternate WWII, with the Nazis in a lead thanks to Deathshead's technology! Blazko, Wyatt, and Fergus smash their way through a retro-style Wolfenstein castle. They make their way to take down the head of operations himself, only to end up a trap! He sort of offers Blazko a chance to escape after he chooses which comrade dies. The rest of the team make their getaway before Blazkowics is smashed in the back of his bed by shrapnel before plummeting into water. For 14 years, he's kept in a Polish asylum before Deathshead shuts them down. Blaszkowics snaps out of his long daze and FIGHTS SOME NAZI SCUM! With the help of the head doctor's daughter, Anya and her grandparents, he makes his way to a resistance base. On a comfy train ride to Berlin, he meets Frau Engel and her douchey companion called "Bubi". After that run-in, he sneaks his way towards a secret base right in the heart of Berlin! From there, Blazkowics and the resistance must obtain a genius engineer from a Jewish secret society, steal a nuclear weapons code, and grab some aerial vehicles before taking the fight to Deathshead on his own private island! After Blazko smashes his way towards Deathshead's chambers, he gets ambushed by Bubi. Fortunately, it's easy to take out the annoying little fucker. After fighting the companion you fail to save, Deathshead gets sick of your shit and fights you himself! Deathshead blows himself up in last ditch effort as Blazko gives a heroic A-OK to nuke the island while he's still on it, as Anya leads prisoners and resistance fighters back to their crafts in victory.
So, the story isn't half bad at all. It does a pretty good job at exploring a post-WWII society if the Nazis won, even if it is through a retrofuturistic lens a la classic Wolfenstein! In fact, this alternate timeline ranges from fascinating to downright hilarious to see the historical parallels between our world and the Nazi-occupied one. Whether it's the Wolfenstein parallel of The Beatles or Germany landing the first man on the moon (pay attention to his name!), there are many wonderful details to keep an eye out for.
In terms of visuals, some were more interesting than others. The highlight for me was overworld Berlin! It felt like a fascist controlled nightmare; a mix of Fascist Aesthetics, Big Brother's Oceania, and Half-Life 2's City 17! From the train ride there to the battles taking place on the streets themselves, it felt like the setting was an antagonist on its own! Other environments like London Nautica, Deathshead's personal science museum, and a NAZI MOON BASE were wonderful experiences to crawl and shoot through, both embracing this bizarro alt-future of high technology and Nazi overlords. Plus, all the throwbacks to the classics during the beginning and endings of the game were a nice touch. Blasting your way through grimy old castle corridors that are crawling with cyborg Nazis was a nostalgic treat! I wish I could say the same about the underground missions and the mining camp felt pretty dull to me.
Control wise, results varied. Just to get this out of the way, the stealth mechanics were relatively broken. As long as the enemy's not facing you, it would be same to assume you could dance or moon them and they wouldn't notice. To have AI that stupid, when it was otherwise pretty fine, really hurt the immersion. But, when the AI feels right, it's glorious. Ranking up stealth kills can be pretty fun as well! Also, there's quite a bit at stake for failing stealth; as enemies will signal for backup immediately! As for more tactical play, it proved to be pretty engaging and fun. While some enemies were a drag to take down, others proved to be a fun challenge. The guns themselves were cool and retro, designed with an alternate history Germany in mind! In fact, the ammunition was interesting as this wasn't using pea shooters here! When you shot those bullets, it looked like huge slugs slamming into your enemy. You could SEE the damage! One new addition that Machinegames brought to the table was trainable skill charts, which felt pretty Fallout-esque. It was very rewarding to level up your skills and unlocking new ones through a variety of combat styles! More nuanced stuff like prompts for obtaining items rather than automatically collecting them added an old school touch.
One thing that kinda bummed me out was that the game was marketed as a tongue-in-cheek madness filled romp. Sure, we got some of that, but not to the degree that tons of people assumed. Now, I'm not saying this game needed MECHA HITLER, but it would have been a nice touch. I'm just saying the game seriously needed to lighten up, especially considering it's Wolfenstein. Plus, I could have done with the hero-does-a-heroic-sacrifice trope that seems to be super popular these days. It's not a bad plot device, just not for Wolfenstein. I know they were trying to give more attention to Anya, but the ending just seems like they ran out of time on production and feels way too far from plot and character. I have my own headcannons by all means, besides that this ending feels like sequel bait to me. Since Bethesda was involved with this game, I was honestly surprised we didn't see their trademark self-aware dark comedy being more prevalent. But, since this game was made by the creators of The Darkness and Riddick, I'm not sure what I should have expected. Another thing that I feel we got cheated out of was a boss battle with Frau Engel. After Bubi was taken out of the picture, I figured we were going to have a large staged battle with Engel next, before or after Deathshead. There was so much set up and potential too.
This wasn't to say that this didn't feel like a living and breathing world. Despite the overused trope of Nazis, as well as the fact "Nazis Win WWII" is likely an equally used alt-history trope; the writing made up for it for the most part. Subtle actions from the characters themselves helped to make the game for me! From the jittery motions and anxious stress of Tekla to the sadistic smile and mocking tone of Frau Engel, each character felt believable in their role in this world. All of this is reinforced with some top notch voice acting to further flesh out the characters. The NPC chatter, ambiance, and music only adds another layer of awesome to everything as well! Whether it's a kickass soundtrack, or the words of rage from Nazi grunts as you backstab and blast your way through, everything felt in place.
So, would I call this game of the year? That's what I was hoping for, but I can't quite do that. That isn't to say that The New Order didn't resonate with me on some level, because I had a great time from start to finish. Save for a few hiccups, I never really felt bored or disparaged in the game. All in all, it was a very fun and nostalgic experience.
Wolfenstein the New Order gets 7 and 1/2 exploded Nazi heads out of 10. Mond, Mond; Ja, Ja!

When Florida State visits No. 4 Clemson in South Carolina, they could be without one of their offensive weapons.
According to the team's official injury report, wide receiver Auden Tate is questionable with an ankle injury for this Saturday's game against the Tigers. Tate did not play last Saturday against Syracuse and it appears that it is possible he may miss the game against Clemson as well.

Florida State and Clemson will kick off at 3:30pm ET on ESPN.
The post Florida State WR Auden Tate questionable for game against Clemson appeared first on Diehards.

- Osinbajo Leads Investment Roadshow in US
Vice President YemiOsinbajo is scheduled to lead a public-private sector collaborative investment roadshow to the United States.
He will also be speaking to global industry leaders in information technology and entertainment at the Silicon Valley in San Francisco and Hollywood in Los Angeles, California from today (Monday) to Wednesday.
The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Mr Laolu Akande, disclosed these in a statement made available to journalists on Sunday.
Akande said Osinbajo, who left Nigeria on Saturday for the US, would be joined on the investment roadshow by members of the recently-inaugurated Advisory Group on Technology and Creativity, an integral part of the National Industrial Policy and Competitiveness Advisory Council.
According to him, the roadshow is designed to showcase the continued improvement in Nigeria's business environment to entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders in both American cities.
Akande added that during the trip, Osinbajo would emphasise on a number of the present administration's policies such as the doing business reforms, which he noted had improved the country's ranking in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Index 2017.
He stated, "During the US trip, the Vice President will also visit the headquarters of some leading global technology companies.
"There will also be sessions with investors, fund managers and large US technology companies as well as presentations by the Nigeria Investment Promotion Council, the Bank of Industry, and the Enabling Business Environment Secretariat.
"Other aspects of the Vice President's trip will be to showcase to the world the progress and strides in the country's technology, innovation and creative space by Nigerian technology start-ups and entertainment industry practitioners."

text: An important goal of mine throughout my professional life has been to make things that make people feel good about something. As an employee of the New York City Dept. of Design and Construction, I started as an intern, and left with the position of Senior Designer. I rebranded the agency and changed the city's perception of public design by improving quality of design and not compromising beauty for economy or message. From there I was a snowboard bumb in Southern Colorado, starting at a grocery store as a deli clerk, by the time I decided to get back into the rat race I had designed the grocery stores website and digital outreach campaign and become a butchers apprentice. I am currently working on saving the magazine industry at TIME Inc. Figuring out ways to reinvigorate the importance of trusted quality content from major brand titles like SI and Entertainment Weekly, for the digital space. This has included producing the graphic collateral required to get that content on tablets, phones, computers and devices as they develop in the media landscape. Riding these new waves of tech with the same good content our society depends on for common ground and a communal sense of self.

We felt something stirring when Michelle Pfeiffer slinked around in that skintight body suit. We raised our eyebrows when Anne Hathaway turned tender for Juno Temple in The Dark Knight Rises. And we definitely read it on our radar when she teamed up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. But now she's here, she's queer, and she's canon: Selina Kyle aka Catwoman is officially bisexual.
Even folks who've never read a comic recognize the name Catwoman. She is a storied and iconic character in comics, who has often suffered from oversexualization, poor story lines, and Halle Berry. But her character endures because she represents a complexity that female comic characters often lack. Never one to be relegated to the "girlfriend" role, Catwoman has been kicking ass and taking names for over 60 years. As a cat burglar with a conscience, she walks the fine line between villain and anti-hero.
The current incarnation of Catwoman finds her hanging up the cowl to to run the Calabrese crime syndicate in Gotham. When someone else takes up the Catwoman mantle, Selina is shocked to find that this knock-off Catwoman is Eiko Hasigaway, a young woman from the rival Yakuza crime family. The two women have grown close over the past few issues, and in Catwoman #39 we finally see them kiss.
Selina is only the second gay Catwoman, following Holly Robinson, an out lesbian who took over the Catwoman role when Selina was pregnant in 2004. That character would eventually go on to win a GLAAD media award.
Catwoman writer Genevieve Valentine confirmed on Twitter that this isn't just a fling.
She has also taken to her blog to discuss how the storyline came to be:
Valentine seems committed to bringing a fully realized bisexual Catwoman to life, which is exciting considering DC comics lack of queer lady representation.
After all, we are still reeling from the massive fuck-up that felled Batwoman Detective, one of the greatest queer superhero series ever. But a revolving door of writers and long delays proved damaging. As a result, the Batwoman Detective series was one of 13 titles that DC axed at the end of last year. This left a lot of queer comic fans very angry (including yours truly) and skeptical of whether or not DC could give us the queer comic characters that our audience craves. Fingers crossed that Catwoman fares better than Kate Kane.

Just deserts
Poor access to fresh food is a solvable health problem
THE corner shop on South Honore and West 59th in Englewood is an uninviting sort of place. Those windows that are not bricked up are covered in heavy security grilles; the shopkeeper hides behind a Plexiglas wall. Most of what is on offer is either packaged or carbonated, and is always processed.
This part of Chicago's South Side is in the heart of one of America's many food deserts. These are notable not for the absence of food, but for the kind of food available. Though crisps, sweets and doughnuts are easy to come by, an apple is a rare commodity. Yet all the evidence shows that poor access to quality food results in a higher risk of obesity, diabetes and cancer—and more avoidable deaths.
Although cynics might argue that the market gives people the food they deserve, research published this month in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests otherwise. During the 1990s, when the American government paid for around 1,800 women to move out of public housing, the women who had moved showed a 20% lower rate of obesity and diabetes than those who had not. In other words, their improved environment (which many assume would include better shops) led to their better health.
Research published this week by Mari Gallagher, an independent food researcher, suggests that the problem of food deserts may be relatively tractable. Over the past five years, thanks to the arrival of some new grocery stores, Chicago's desert has shrunk by 40% to a mere 384,000 people. It sometimes takes only one shop to change things vastly for the better. For example, the Food-4-Less store in Englewood improved access to fresh food for almost 41,000 people, most of whom are black.
独立的食品研究调查机构Mari Gallagher本周发表的调查表明,食荒的问题可能是相对温和的。在过去的五年中,多亏一些新型食品杂货店的降临,芝加哥地区的食荒已经缩减了40%,反影响384000居民。例如,Food-4-Less一家位于恩格尔伍德的商店就为将近41000户居民改善了新鲜食品的途径,并且,这些居民中的大多数都是黑人。
This is all grist to the mills of Michelle Obama, America's first lady, and Rahm Emanuel, Chicago's mayor, who appeared together at a South Side pharmacy on October 25th to promote access to fresh food. Both have been adept in their own ways at twisting the arms of retailers such as Walmart, SUPERVALU and Walgreens to open grocery stores in underserved areas.
Walgreens, a chain of almost 7,800 drug stores, now has a large selection of fresh food in ten food oasis stores in Chicago. It has also promised that over the next five years it will provide more fresh food in 19 other sites in the city, most of them food deserts, and in 1,000 other stores across the country. This could make a big difference. The firm's chief executive, Greg Wasson, says that two-thirds of all Americans live within three miles of one of his shops.
Moreover, the opening of a halfway decent grocery store is often the trigger for the arrival of other better-class shops in the area, which then spurs a local economic revival. This could go some way towards reversing a worrying trend pointed out by Ms Gallagher. She says that there tend to be more diet-related deaths in places where fringe retailers accept food stamps. Fringe retailers, by her definition, are those shops that specialise in food high in salt, fat and sugar, plus non-food items such as fizzy drinks. The sad thing, as she points out, is that food stamps are supposed to protect the poor from malnutrition, not make them ill.
Mrs Obama made a point of saying that nobody in government is telling anyone what they should, or should not, be eating. But good food does have to be available. As any parent can tell you, the fruit bowl always needs to be easier to reach than the cookie jar.

Imagine relaxing at the water's edge with the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains all around you – it really a combination of two of the most beautiful and peaceful sights you can think of. We can offer this beautiful scenery and more when you rent one of our secluded Smoky Mountain cabins on the river. And with the ability to choose from rentals located on the Little Pigeon River, Caney Creek, Cove Creek and other waterways, several size options and numerous amenity possibilities, your cabin is sure to keep you comfortable and entertained for your entire stay. But this is just one of several benefits associated with our riverside cabins. Keep reading to learn about four surprise perks of a waterfront stay at a cabin in the Smokies.
Relaxation on the River
It's no secret that many families and groups of friends vacation in the Smokies in hopes of finding peace and relaxation. Luckily, our cabins offer exactly that. When you're tucked into the Smoky Mountains with the sounds of the river nearby at one of our secluded cabins, you couldn't be more at peace.
Our cabins are far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and hectic schedules and are only a short drive away from downtown and the strip – just far enough away to escape the city noises. So after returning home from an exciting day in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, the calm and quiet of your cabin will be waiting to welcome you home.
Valuable Vacation Time
By choosing a riverside cabin, you are instantly adding value to your vacation. In addition to offering amenities like Gatlinburg cabins with swimming pools, game rooms, hot tubs and fire pits that ensure your stay is both peaceful and fun, our secluded Smoky Mountain cabins on the river have a free, built-in entertainment and relaxation aspect – the river itself!
There's no need to venture out and spend money in search of an activity to wear the kids' energy down or suitable picnic spot. With the river right outside your home away from home, you have all the outdoor scenery and fun things to do you could ever need. Now, we're certainly not saying to stay holed up in your cabin during your entire trip, but it's good to know you could if you wanted to.
If you're looking to add even more value to your secluded Smoky Mountain cabin stay, check out our Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge cabin specials.
Waterside Fun
Our secluded riverside cabins are perfect for vacationers looking to explore. Children will delight in the discoveries they can make at the river's edge, while adults will love being able to keep an eye on them with a view of the river from a comfy seat or in the hot tub on their private deck. A cabin alongside a river also poses the perfect opportunity for fishing. All that's left for you to do is grab a comfy chair, a pole and a lucky spot where you think the fish will be biting. We can't guarantee you'll catch the big one, but you'll certainly have fun trying.
Of course, we do urge visitors to use caution when exploring the rivers and creeks surrounding their cabins, as safety should be your primary concern. Be sure to be cautious of water levels and strength, slippery and wet rocks, and wildlife that inhabit river areas, like snakes.
Unmatched Convenience
When you stay at one of our secluded cabins on the river, you have everything the Great Smoky Mountains has to offer convenient to you. Surrounded by the Smokies with waterfront scenery to accompany it, you have some of the best views and photo opportunities conveniently outside your rental. There is plenty of fun to be had at your cabin and the nearby river, but Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are also a short car ride away, offering exciting attractions, local eateries and shows of all kinds, as well. For the most part, anything you could want or need is ready nearby – it's the definition of a vacation.
To learn even more about the benefits of staying at a secluded Smoky Mountain cabin on the river during your next vacation, give us a call today! Our experts can help you and your family find the right cabin and answer any questions you may have.

Though Chicago is one of those cities that starts to freeze even before the winter officially begins, Chicago is also city that knows how to do Christmas and pull people out of their comfy and warm homes, and out to the streets. As the holidays are in full force, I want to share with you some of the things you can do in Chicago during the holidays whether you happen to find yourself here or would like to know what the Windy City has to offer during this cheerful season!
Chicago Christmas Tree Lighting
Here in Chicago, we like to start the holidays a little sooner and kick off the season with a formal celebratory holiday bang. If you find yourself in Chicago around the date of November 16th, you should definitely stop by Millennium Park to see the tree lighting ceremony that officially kicks off the city into the holidays. This is 60 foot, 8,200 lbs tree is donated by a Chicagoland family, and every year, has hundreds of people circling around in the cold of the night to witness the magic of the season descending upon the Windy City!
Millennium Park – 201 East Randolph Street, Chicago IL.
Lincoln Park Zoo Lights
From the dates of around Thanksgiving to early January, you can stop by Lincoln Park Zoo to wander around the beautifully illuminated zoo, as well as enjoy a variety of different winter activities! From ice carving demonstrations, to feeding the cows and fulfilling that childhood dream, to enjoying a spiced wine and craft beer while you stroll around the park, there is something for everyone. This event has a variety of activities throughout the day and evening, indoors and outdoors, and even special events like Zoo Years Eve and Adults Night at the Zoo. The Zoo Lights have been a tradition here in Chicago for 24 years, and has always done a great job of offering something fun for everyone!

If your idea of fun includes ice skating, then definitely check out ice skating at Millennium Park! Nothing really screams Chicago like ice skating under the sight of the beautifully illuminated Chicago skyline, and here at the McCormick Tribune Ice Skating Rink, you'll be able to do just that. Admission into the ice rink is free, and the skate rentals are around $13-$15 depending on if you're planning to visit on the weekday or weekend. What's really cool is that whether you're a pro at skating or you're just barely holding onto the rail
like me, they have free lessons to to teach you step out of your comfort zone and onto the rink! If you come on Fridays at 11am, and Saturdays and Sundays at 9am they will have free skating lessons! The rink is open also from around late November to March.
McCormick Tribune Ice Skating Rink – 1 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago IL
Winter WonderFest at Navy Pier
It's basically an indoor fair located inside of Navy Pier! Navy Pier for those of you who may not know, is practically a landmark here in Chicago that is located near the north side of the city. Navy Pier used to be many things throughout history, but most notably it used to be a military pier where men in the Navy and their families used to live. Today however and during the holidays, you'll find Winter WonderFest which offers a variety of games including an indoor skating rink, inflatable slides, even a Ferris wheel! Endless entertainment is sure to keep you here for hours, especially when it feels like subzero temperatures outside! This is an especially great option to explore when it's way too cold outside. Entrance tickets are $20 for adults which includes entry, a ride on the Centennial Ferris Wheel and $10 for children, also including a ride on the Centennial Ferris Wheel.
Winter WonderFest at Navy Pier – 600 East Grand Avenue, Chicago IL.

Christmas Around the World at the Museum of Science and Industry
You can have a taste of how Christmas is celebrated in different countries all over the world if you visit the Museum of Science and Industry around November-December! Every year, the Museum likes to display a wide variety of Christmas trees, and each Christmas tree is decorated with ornaments and decorations based on the country they represent. It's definitely a really cool way to see the diversity not only in the world when it comes to celebrating this holiday, but also the diversity there is in Chicago. Definitely a must stop!
Museum of Science and Industry – 5700 South Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL.
A Stroll Down State Street
Even when you're not looking for holiday activities and events, simply just walking down the streets of Chicago will give you that holiday cheer without even looking for it. State street is one of my favorite streets to walk during this time of the year, as it is beautifully lit and is always playing Christmas holiday music all throughout. While on State street, don't forget to walk past Macy's beautiful and intricate Holiday display! It's kind of tradition around here, and they never fail to make us stop in our tracks to see the window displays.
But what if you find yourself smack dab on Christmas day in Chicago. What is one to do? This list is a "what do to in Chicago during the holiday" list and that should include Christmas too, no?

I have lived in Illinois for quite some time, and definitely have a few tips to share on visiting the city and surrounding neighborhoods!

Nothing raises the hair on your arms or neck like a really good ghost story. Shivering with fright around a crackling campfire or in a dimly lit room during a slumber party is a rite of passage for young children.
Today, Western culture is experiencing a heightened interest in the paranormal, evidenced by the proliferation of paranormal television programs, research groups, movies and genre novels – think Vampire Diaries. Not all travelers are looking for a sunny seaside resort or an exquisite shopping experience. Some are intrigued by creepy legends, haunted castles, crypto zoology and strange folklore, all widely available throughout Europe. While America has its share of haunted locations, Europe is unparalleled as a paranormal destination. From England's famous crop circles and Scotland's Loch Ness Monster, to legendary Romanian vampires and Germany's Frankenstein Castle, the European continent is full of spooky locations.
Haunted places in Germany:
- B215: (between Stedebergen and Dörverden) near Verden/Aller is known to be a road with strange happenings. Fact to this day is, that this stretch of road has had more accidents (with deaths) then any other area of this road. Witnesses tell of a white lady appearing on the road between 2 and 3 am if you are driving to fast. It's unknown if this apparition is suppose to be a warning to drivers or if it actually caused the accidents.
- Babenhausen Barracks (German : Babenhausen Kaserne) – now a museum – The ghosts of German soldiers, some in World War II era uniforms, have been reported. Lights are said to turn off and on by themselves and voices are heard in the basement. Footsteps and commands are allegedly heard at night, supposedly without physical cause. Legend has it that if a soldier happens to visit the museum and pick up a telephone, a woman will at times be heard "talking backwards", unintelligible, in neither German nor English. The town was the site of a witch burned at the stake in the 19th century, and her ghost is said to have seduced, and then killed, several German soldiers since then.
- Bernkastel-Kues: Cemetery: At this cemetery, you may see The White Lady of Bernkastel-Kues with a long white dress floating from one to another. The story is that at times she cries. However, another story about this ghost concerns a hunter. He was terrified when he first saw the ghost and saw at it. The next day he was taken to Koblenz, a military hospital, with swollen legs and a high fever. He was rambling on and on about a white lady that attacked him. He died.

Ask The Petsjubilee Pets: Tummy Kisses Yuck!
As promised from last week, we are answering this letter:
Dear Sasha,
Whenever I lay on my back trying to cool off my under parts, my human has to come over and kiss my belly. Then she pulls all 4 of my feet one at a time making these silly noises. How do I get her to stop doing this?
annoyed and embarrassed
Dear annoyed and embarrassed,
Don't you just hate it when humans do the belly kissing and that other thing. I think they call it "raspberries". I know from personal experience there is a few special ways to deal with this bad human behavior problem. Unfortunately, most will get you in trouble. With humans you need to do it at the same time as they are doing the naughty behavior. I hear they don't seem to understand delayed consequences like chewing up a purse strap when they aren't looking. Here are my suggestions:
1.) Cover up in cute doggy outfits. The more frilly and over the top on cuteness the better. Usually, they are so pleased that you look like them that they forget all about the belly kisses. However, it does have the "Loser" effect among the Alpha dogs in the neighborhood.
2.) The moment the human goes in for the belly kissing, start licking either the inside of the human's ear or your butt. Both are a quick turn offs to the humans. However, this may result in getting your teeth cleaned or your butt squeezed cause you know humans are slow to learn new behaviors.
3.) Last resort, pee in her face. I haven't personally done this and I suspect it would lead to a major time out. However, I have heard that the human pups (also known as babies) do it and it works big time.
I do hope these suggestions help.
Your Friend In Fur,
Next Sunday we will be answering this letter and hopefully a few more (hint hint):
Dear Sasha- I has a bit of an embarrassing problem...I eats my own poo :( I just can't stops myself. Mommy and daddy get so mad at me and scold me and threaten to withholds treats from me. I don't wants them to be angers at me, but to me, its recycling - I just doin' MY part to helps the vironment...ok, thats a fib - I just has to eat anything and everything, rusty nails, bark off the tree, etc. How can I learn to lay off the poo? I think my folks would be most happy if I did that. Arrooooo to you and Charlie.just sign meBad Breath Beagle
Please, e-mail your questions for Ask The Petsjubilee Pets to firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, please put APP in the subject of the letter.

Good thing Tooey, CG, or Thea didn't write that letter. I won't let them see it either.as I am one of THOSE humans. I ALWAYS pet their bellies when I pick them up and kiss them there. Since they can't wear dresses and don't have long enough tongues for the other suggestion, that leaves answer #3. No way!

Merrick: Victory well prepared
Winning form, a settled line-up and the return of skipper Kevin Muscat has the Melbourne Victory better-placed for Saturday night's clash with Brisbane Roar than when the teams last met just seven weeks ago, according to coach Ernie Merrick.
Winning form, a settled line-up and the return of skipper Kevin Muscat has the Melbourne Victory better-placed for Saturday night's clash with Brisbane Roar than when the teams last met just seven weeks ago, according to coach Ernie Merrick.
Merrick believes the Victory have improved significantly since Round 2 when they fought back from 0-2 and 1-3 down to claim the club's first point for the season in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Etihad Stadium.
Speaking after training at Olympic Park on Friday, Merrick said his players have taken on board the lessons of Round 2 and appreciate the perils of playing catch-up.
"The good thing is Brisbane Roar play a very open game of football and it will be end-to-end stuff and that certainly suits us," said Merrick.
"In the last 12 months I think that we've only lost two games at Etihad Stadium so it's great to be at home again."
While last time around Melbourne was coming off a deflating 2-0 defeat in the season-opener to Central Coast, this time its form - successive wins on the road - is far more substantial.
"To get six points in two games against teams like Adelaide and league-leaders Gold Coast, we're really happy with that," Merrick said.
"But we want to build on that and try and get another six points in the next two home games."
"I never felt we were out of form, I just felt as though it was a consistency thing and we've had to change the starting eleven every week."
"We're getting back to our strongest line-up and the team won't change too much from last week."
Another point of difference is the captain's partnership at the back with Adrian Leijer. The pair, neither of whom played in Round 2, has been highly influential in the past fortnight.
"There's no doubt that they've got a couple of good strikers but we've got the addition this time of Adrian Leijer and Kevin Muscat and that might make a big difference for us, I think it will," said Merrick.
"(Kevin)'s not only defending well and inspiring the players around him but he's setting up great opportunities for the strikers, so he is a huge addition to have back."
"They've got good players, a good team, they got a good result last week against Sydney, but we have to focus on how we play and if we get our game right and play consistently well for 90 minutes, the points will fall for us one way or another."
Tom Pondeljak, who's been named in the Victory squad after missing last week's win over Gold Coast, is not quite at full fitness according to Merrick, but should still have a role to play.
"I'm not sure that I would risk him for 90 minutes, but his back feels good, he was completely free at training yesterday, he was even better today and he'll certainly be back in the squad," he said.

If you're thinking about college, you aren't alone. It's estimated that 19.9 million students are attending college in fall 2018. You may not be attending school this year, but you're thinking about choosing a college for next year.
Choosing a school isn't an easy task. You need to find somewhere you can happily spend the next four years, and also help you start your career.
The task may be daunting, but we're here to help you every step of the way. If you want to learn how to choose a college you're happy at, read on to learn more.
Tips On Choosing A College
If you want to find a college you love, it's time to think beyond academics. You want a school where you can excel in your studies, make great friends, and prepare yourself for your future career.
When you're going through brochures and thinking about where you want to apply, be sure to keep these tips in mind.
Consider Career Options, Not Majors
It's important to consider what you want to major in, but even more important to consider how your major will help you get the career that you want.
Think about what it is you truly want to do after college, and pick the best major to help you get there. Be sure to spend plenty of time discussing your career plans with guidance counselors, they can help you choose the right major.
Also be sure to look into college internship programs. Schools that encourage students to take internships and place them with good companies can help your career.
Weigh Your Travel Options
A lot of people choose to take a semester or two abroad when they're in college.
Some schools have excellent study abroad programs. If traveling during your college years is important, take time to consider schools with robust study abroad programs.
If you don't want to travel, but want to have a diverse college experience, think about colleges that have a great international student population.
You can read more about why students love coming to the US to study on nearly every college admission website. But few take time to consider the benefits of making international connections in college.
Think About Greek Life
Nearly every college campus has clubs that cater to an array of interests, but only some are known for having robust Greek life.
Regardless of how you feel about greek life, you should think about whether or not you want it to play a big role in your college life. Your answer can affect where you'll be happiest at college.
Greek organizations can be great ways to meet people and network. Many organizations still have faithful members years after they leave school, and most are willing to do what they can to help members get ahead in their careers.
If you don't care much about getting your Greek letters, consider going to a school that has little to no greek life. You may find that the atmosphere suits you better.
Next Steps
Now that you know a little about choosing a college, you may be thinking about how to choose your major.
There are some majors people are flocking towards right now. Check out our post on popular college majors and see if any of them interest you.

A University of Colorado Boulder student has been awarded a 2019 Truman Scholarship, marking the second year in a row that a student from the university has won the prestigious graduate fellowship.
Jake Reagan, a 20-year-old junior who is double majoring in political science and Spanish and minoring in philosophy, this week was one of 62 selected from 840 candidates to win the award, which includes intensive leadership training and $30,000 for graduate studies. Last year, CU student Serene Singh was among those selected, and she went on to be named a Rhodes Scholar.
Reagan was at a PeaceJam Foundation gun violence prevention summit in Tallahassee, Fla., when he got a call from Chancellor Phil DiStefano informing him he'd been selected for the scholarship program named for President Harry S. Truman.
"It was awesome," Reagan said. "It was a great feeling."
Reagan was born in Boulder and attended Boulder High School, and he decided to attend CU after touring other institutions and realizing the school in his backyard was the best fit, he said. He began his freshman year as a pre-chemical engineering major but has come to have a passion for public policy and public service.
It was during his freshman Spanish class in fall 2016 that he received a text message warning of an active harmer on campus. On Oct. 5 of that year, police officers shot and killed a machete-wielding suspect inside the Champions Center at CU's Folsom Field, and then contradictory reports of a campus shooter sparked widespread confusion on campus.
"We go to lock our classroom door, and we find that there's no lock on our door, nor blinds on our windows," Reagan said. "There's no clear procedure as to what to do."
That incident cemented his desire to get involved in student government and policy — the looming threat of school gun violence always in the back of his mind. He described it as a watershed moment in his life.
"When you go to school, no matter what age level … your focus should be on school, not on what to do if someone walks in here trying to harm us all," he said. "That's just sad."
He ran and later withdrew from a student government election that school year to get to know the university better and build experience before seeking office. This year, he is one of CU's three student body presidents.
They are in the process of incorporating active harmer training in the student orientation process, he said. He's also worked with state representatives to explore the process of standardizing active harmer training in universities across Colorado. Although he doesn't expect a bill this session, he hopes to continue the work.
"Hopefully that prompts some action," he said.
He's also in the process of formalizing United Against Gun Violence, an organization to bring together youth leaders to identify solutions.
Beyond that, he also is fluent in Spanish and has previously served as an interpreter for the Emergency Family Assistance Association. This summer, he will serve as a Teach for America Accelerate fellow, a summer internship for undergraduates that will take him to Chicago and rural Texas. He also is a jazz pianist, something that has shaped his life views, too.
"That's helped shape my understanding of politics to some degree," he said. "In my mind, you think of a group of jazz musicians playing together, they constantly have to be listening to each other, being aware of what's going on."
When they don't, he said, they fall into discord and dissonance, and the same is true in government. He has experienced that firsthand in his role as a student government leader, he said, including in ongoing negotiations between the student government and the administration over control of student fees.
"If we aren't truly making a concerted effort to listen to people who are different from us, then our democracy begins to fall apart," he said.
He's not decided yet which graduate school he'd like to attend, though he likely will study either public policy or public administration, he said.
Deborah Viles, director of CU's Office of Top Scholarships, said Reagan has a deep interest in serving the public good, and she cited his previous internships for U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Colorado State Rep. Edie Hooton.
"What really impresses me about Jake is that he identified that he wanted to be a public servant in the last couple of years," Viles said. "Ever since that time, he has made a really concerted effort to make that a reality for himself.
"It's impressive to see someone with that kind of vision and that kind of clarity moving forward on the path he wants to take."

I created this cute fall bulletin board for the lobby in our elementary building. It was so much fun creating and the kids absolutely loved it! For the tree I crumbled shipping paper I found at the Dollar Tree (1 roll). I also found the fall leaves (50 in a pack, I used 2 packs) and the scarecrow from the Dollar Tree. $3 total!!!! The rest of the board was created using construction paper. I wrote each of the elementary students names on a leaf and each teachers names on the corn. I plan to use the same scene for winter, spring, and summer. Look for those to come.
fall bulletin board!

Arlene Bartholomew-Singh who proudly hails from the Arima community, is a mother of four, grandmother of six and as many know, the president, owner and designer of Asa Market where she makes custom-designed fashion, jewellery and art pieces.
Arlene says that her passion for fashion and design started from an early age. She often found herself stitching and cutting into her clothing while other children were out playing. She sees design as her true form of self expression, a way to let people understand who she is. She studied dressmaking and design at the John Donaldson Technical Institute, followed by a two-year apprenticeship with the late Andre Belix. She then went on to create an exclusive line of clothing for men labelled 'Male Call'.
Over the years Arlene has been able to grow and maintain a loyal tribe who she caters to with custom-made clothing, jewellery and now, contemporary art. Known and loved for her afrocentric, bright colours, quality fabric, beautiful patterns and silhouettes, Arlene is waving the flag for Arima high in the local fashion industry. Check out our quick interview with her below:
What was the biggest challenge you have had to overcome and how did you deal with it?
My biggest challenge was not being able to finance my dreams, as my situation was one of sole parenting. My ambitions were placed on the back burner, some were even shelved. However, today I have been able to push through some of these challenges by establishing my brand - one that is supported by my committed clientele.
Tell us something about you that people may not know.
About 10 years ago I had some health issues that forced me to downsize not only my business but my social life. Although I managed to work through this, it's still a reality that many aren't aware of.
What are you most grateful for?
I remain grateful to God for every morning I wake up, and to my family, friends and faithful customers for their love and support.
What is something you know for sure that you wish the rest of us knew?
I know for sure that life will continually challenge you, and where you are is not who you are, so don't make it a camping ground, it's only a path you must go through. I live my life believing "It ain't over till it's over and that the best is yet to come".

Teen dies 2-days after being shot in car-to-car shooting on Crenshaw
Streetgangs.com Staff Writer
August 13, 2013 | 11:58 p.m. PST
Bijan Michael Shoushtari, 18, died two days after he was shot Saturday, August 3, on Crenshaw & Vernon near Leimert Park in a car-to-car shooting.
Shoushtari and two other people were traveling northbound on Crenshaw Boulevard in a 1973 yellow Buick Electra with white wall tires shortly after midnight when a light-colored, midsize vehicle drove along the passenger side where Shoustari. As the car pulled up, an occupant fired several shots into the Buick striking Shoustari multiple times.
The shooting occurred near Chris Burger on the 4400 block of Crenshaw but the driver continued north 1-block pulling the vehicle over at 4322 Crenshaw Blvd where Shoustari received aid before he was rushed to the hospital.
Shoushtari died at the hospital Monday, August 5, at 5:37 p.m. The two other people in the car were not injured. Police believe that the shooting was gang-related.

I'm not sure what I'm loving most about Tailgate Tuesday; forcing myself to think ahead for weekend snacking, or the sampling that's involved in thinking ahead for weekend snacking. This pizza dip is one of my absolute favorites and I knew the moment it hit my inbox that it would become a tailgating staple around our house. Originally submitted by April Ockerman as part of The Traveling Apron Recipe swap, it's not only one of the best dips you can have on hand for tailgating, it also made its way into The Traveling Apron Cookbook!
So let's talk about today's Tailgate Tuesday: Pizza Dip, shall we?
The creaminess of the cream cheese makes the recipe "dippable" but the fun really begins with the toppings.
Like a pizza, it's really endless with how many different flavorings you can come up with.
I like to serve several different options in smaller size cast iron skillets so that everyone can find something they enjoy.
I've served it with bread sticks before, as well as toasted baguettes. There's really no right or wrong way to serve it!
- 1 package cream cheese, softened
- Small can pizza sauce, about ½ cup worth
- 1 c. Shredded Italian Blend Cheese
- Half package mini pepperoni, or chop 1 cup regular pepperoni
- Spread cream cheese on the bottom of an 8×8 pan. Top with pizza sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Place the pepperoni over the top. Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes or until bubbly. You can add pretty much any toppings to it that you like on your pizza. The more the better. Serve with chips, bread or veggies for dipping.
Tomorrow, at noon on WAFB I'll be doing a live cooking demonstration with one of the Baton Rouge Junior League's recipes, and it's quite similar. I'll have the recipe up in the morning and will later add the video so you guys can hear what I sound like in person.
And see me make funny faces when I decorate pizza!

When you're fresh out of college and you have barely enough to fill a suitcase, packing your own things for moving seems like a small thing. But life goes on. Few years down the road... Busy life, family, bigger house, and even the very thought of packing... gives you cramps in the stomach. Seems familiar?
We're here to take that load of your shoulders. We are SO well-versed in the art and the science of packing that what seams like a mountain to a regular family may not even be a hill for us. Plus you will LOVE our prices:
Let me give you an example:
On a local move where our prices are on hourly basis we charge ONLY $35/hr more for full service packing, which provides you with AS MANY packing materials as you need for your move. No limits. Yes, you read it right - Wardrobe boxes? YES, Dishpacks? ABSOLUTELY! Packing paper and bubble wrap? OBVIOUSLY! We will pack ALL your pictures, mirrors, clothing, dishes, decorations, tools and whatever else you need to move and we will NEVER ask you for more money.
How about long distance moving? Is it SO MUCH MORE?
Not really. We base our charges on the cubic foot, and depending on the amount of cubic feet price goes up from about $0.90 to $0.35 the larger your load the less you pay for us to pack. See, we buy packing materials whole-sale. AND we want your business. So, the more "headache" we can remove from you as our customer, the greater will be your satisfaction with the final result.
Last, but not least. We KNOW HOW to pack. We can ONLY guarantee the safety of your boxed belongings if WE do the job. Even the moving insurance will not cover your things in the box if that box was not packed by a professional mover. It's the liability thing. It is also the sound of reason. Call us TODAY. Let us come and see what needs to be done and then - be ready to be blessed with how EASY everything seems to be put into place.

Some folks have also hazard guesses about another device in the Shield lineup, given Nvidia's launch of their GRID game-streaming service, or news on a much-anticipated 980 Ti card.All these questions and more should be answered during the event, so check back here or on our main page for the livestream. And make sure you check out all of IGN's GDC coverage through all of next week—we'll be on site at the show and bringing you regular updates.
You can watch the Nvidia stream on pretty much every connected device in your home or pocket. Here are some links to the apps (download them today!) and other places where you can watch the Nvidia stream and IGN's show coverage as well. Watch the Nvidia stream on...

- IGN's PlayStation 4 App
- IGN's Xbox One App*
- IGN's Xbox 360 App
- Roku
- IGN App for Android TV
- IGN for Amazon Fire TV
*The IGN App for Xbox One recently launched as well, and though live stream support is coming in the next update, you can watch the archived stream on the IGN Xbox One App shortly after it concludes.
What do you think Nvidia will unveil? Let us know in the comments below!

The Perversion of Programming Language...
Connoisseurs of the English language are often aghast at its common misuse. They decry ebonics, slang, and casual mistakes such as the incorrect placement of apostrophes and capital letters. Now in a most unexpected twist, it appears that computer programming languages may soon face the same type of perversions.
As this Boing Boing article explains, a posting was listed on Craigslist for a job as a "LOLCode Developer". Craigslist has since flagged the listing for removal (they assume it is a joke), yet a movement may indeed be underway to create a LOLCode programming language. They've even already developed a compiler.
We've all seen that TV commercial where a mother and daughter have a conversation using text/IM-messaging dialect - "LOL, OMG it's my BFF Jill" (or something like that). But a programming language based on similar esoteric language?
The C++ gods must be rolling in their graves, and like those horrified connoisseurs of English, computer scientist professors are surely rolling their eyes at the prospect of soon viewing source code like this...

Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.
The Bio-scanning Who-za-ma-whats-it is an object that appears in the Sonic Boom comic series. It is a device invented by Dr. Eggman which can copy the data of living beings.
The Bio-scanning Who-za-ma-whats-its are comically designed forms of technology. They consist of a mechanical arm with a white glove that holds a device resembling a barcode reader. When activated, the device emits a yellow light that scans and copies the bio-data of living beings as computer data.[1]
Archie Comics
In need of the bio-data of Team Sonic for Project Hodge Podge, Dr. Eggman created the Bio-scanning Who-za-ma-whats-its and hid them in the trunks on go-karts which Eggman got Team Sonic to use for the Go-kart Pan-island Grand Prix. During the race, the devices secretly copied all the bio-data Eggman needed from Team Sonic.[1]
- The Bio-scanning Who-za-ma-whats-it is an unregistered trademark, presumably of Eggman Industries.[1]
