Train Your Brain
That's what video game company
is hoping that millions of Americans will want to do come this April. The Washington Post
reported today
on a story that has been getting a ton of press over the past six months in less main stream news outlets. The game is called
Brain Age
, and it may indeed represent a sea change in the way the public views video games. Indeed, that has
already happened
in Japan, where the game was released nearly a year ago.
While its aims may seem lofty, the game itself is pretty simple. Designed behind the research of Japanese neurologist Ryuta Kawashima, Brain Age seeks to help keep brains fit, especially as they grow older. Many have likened it to a daily workout for your brain. Utilizing timed but simple word and number games, Brain Age calculates your brain's age, giving you a benchmark number on which to improve. By practicing his games for minutes a day, Kawashima claims that your brain will stay younger and healthier.
As mentioned in the AP article linked above, this story has been developing for some time now in Nintendo's homeland of Japan. Games almost always go to shelves first in Japan, and then move across the Pacific to the US. In this case, Brain Age has fuelled a resurgence on the part of Nintendo, who had recently taken a back seat in video game market share to Sony. The reason for the monumental gains is that Brain Age is not intended for your typical video game fanboy. With its simple controls, using a touch screen stylus and microphone, it is simple for even the most reticent player to pick up and play. Brain Age also scores points with new gamers because it is a game that is only meant to be played for 10 to 20 minutes a day.
As the WaPo story makes clear, there is no hard evidence that the game makes players brains healthier, but this type of criticism doesn't really concern the game developer. In many cases, the demonstrable achievement and improvement in scores may be enough to convince gamers that they are improving in some physically measurable way. Success in Japan is certainly no guarantee, but with Americans already hooked on crosswords, word-searches and su doku (an electronic version of which will be included in the US game), is it so hard to believe that Americans might be ready to test their brains on a new platform?

Tulips - Fringed
The tulips with an edge - the prettily fringed petals can be self-coloured or contrasting at their rims but they all become more beautiful as they age and reflex their petals to better show off their individuality. A recent addition to their ranks are double fringed varieties. Still something of a rarity, these have a pleasingly full, yet uncrowded, form, holding their flowers up well on strong stems.
Tulipa 'Black Jewel'
A 2006 introduction, this tulip has featured heavily in our display beds since then. A really unique colour - bronze maroon - it is always much admired and makes a good companion for red tulips. Flowering in April - May at 18" (45cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 for £6.00 (Same prices as 2017) Pack of 50 for £27.00
Tulipa 'Blue Heron' AGM
Beautifully formed flowers of soft mauve-blue, the colour fading to almost white at the fringed edges. Really easy-on-the-eye and another 'good mixer'. Flowering in late April - May at 20" (50cm) Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 for £3.50 (Same prices as 2017) Pack of 50 for £15.00
Tulipa 'Cummins'
This lovely mauve-pink tulip boasts quite extravagant fringing in nicely contrasting white. It is slightly taller than the other fringed tulips listed, so, apart from being exceptionally pretty, is useful when height is needed. Flowering in late April - May at 18" (45cm) Bub size 12+ cm Pack of 10 for £7.50 (Same prices as 2017) Pack of 50 for £34.50
Tulipa 'Curly Sue'
Beautiful, charismatic tulip. The fringing is self-coloured but this colour changes subtly, both as the flower ages and in different qualities of light, producing shades of wine, from claret to burgundy. We added this variety to our permanent tulip plantings when it first came out, some 8 years ago. It has proved a really reliablly perennial. Flowering in April - May at 16" (40cm) Bulb size 12+...
Tulipa 'Davenport'
The flowers are vibrant red with an effectively broad band of yellow fringing to the petal edges. Flowering in April - May at 18" (45cm) Bukb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 for £6.00 (Same prices as 2017) Pack of 50 for £27.00
Tulipa 'Fancy Frills'
Really pretty tulip, with petals which start white at the base, becoming pinker towards the fringed tips. Lovely mixed with white tulips. Flowering in April - May at 18" (45cm)l Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 for £3.00 (Same prices as 2017) Pack of 50 for £13.50
Tulipa 'Happy Hour'
Purest white petals with heavily fringed edges. Long-lasting flowers which become increasingly beautiful as they mature, with the brilliance of the white intensifying and the fringing better displayed as the petals reflex. It is earlier to flower than 'Swan Wings' and the flowerheads more compact. Flowering in April - May at 18" (45cm) Pack of 10 for £7.50 Pack of 50 for £33.00
Tulip 'Purple Tower'
Re-Inroduced for 2017 It may look more like an artichoke than a conventional tulip but this variety proved a real hit with gardeners and flower arrangers alike when it was launched in Holland a couple of years ago. So popular, in fact, that it was the best selling 'promoted' tulip of the season. Gardeners further afield can now try this unusual delight. Season - late, Height - tall Bulb...
Tulip 'Snow Valley'
New in 2017 Pretty new fringed variety, with white flowers flamed fresh green and with light touches of pink. Flowering in April-May at 18" (45cm). Bulb size 12+ cm Pack of 10 bulbs for £6.50 (Same prices as 2017) Pack of 50 bulbs for £28.50
Tulipa 'Valery Gergiev'
Striking introduction with heavily fringed blooms of vibrant scarlet. The petals reflex strongly as they mature, really showing off their striking edges. This is the first fringed variety into flower in our Barn Garden, drawing much attention at a time when there is little competition to detract from its undoubted 'star quality'. We have it mid-border, near the maroon foliage of euphorbia dulcis...

Q: Our daughter is graduating from high school this month and she is planning a party at our home for many of her friends. Since this is a special occasion, she wants to serve alcohol. We know they'll wind up drinking somewhere, so we wonder whether it wouldn't be better to let her friends drink at our house where we can monitor them and confine the alcohol to beer and wine coolers rather than hard liquor. What do you think?
A: Maryland law is quite clear in this regard: Serving alcohol to individuals under the age of 21 is illegal, regardless of where it occurs. We support such an approach given the significant role that alcohol plays in the deaths of thousands of young people nationwide each year. Studies have shown that up to 50 percent of adolescent motor vehicle accidents, homicides and suicides are associated with some kind of alcohol and/or other drug use at the time of death; boating and drowning deaths show the same pattern. A similar percentage of date rapes also involved drinking by one or both individuals.
We understand your concerns but feel that parents should send a very clear and consistent "no use" message to their underage adolescents about alcohol. Your daughter will get enough pressure to drink from what she sees on television and from her friends. While you may be able to monitor the amount of alcohol consumed, some of her friends will still likely be driving home after having consumed a significant amount of beer. Their ability to drive may be impaired even though they seem normal to you.

People watching is one of my hobbies. I love observing people live, how they tell their stories, and when they speak I'd analyze their thought process. I'm constantly fascinated by how each person has their own traits and are wired differently.
While I think this is a generally good hobby because it keeps your mind open to new cultures and ideas, I'm beginning to see a downside for myself. People watching is like going to the movie. I come to this Earth watching a film played out by everyone around me while I sit back and observe. Some days I feel emotionally attached to the movie but most days I'm detached because I'm not part of the story.
I can't quite put my finger on when exactly I started drifting away from life, but somewhere along the way I got used to being a watcher and analyzer, and keeping all in. But we're all called to be the salt and light.
"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
– Matthew 5:13-16
Life is not a cinema. It is the movie. You're not an audience, you're the character. There's a story you need to tell, action you need to take. Sitting and taking all in is not the way to go. We need to give back because life begins when your purpose gets bigger than yourself.
At least that's what I think.

Vietnamese civilian transport - Baker Company Wagon.
Next up is the Baker Company wagon. This was also an easy build which just needed some thick brass for an axle. The figures are a good inclusion but look a bit too much like Orc's to me. I also painted up two Water Buffalos as the Wagon had one pulling it. They have bases painted to look like they are standing in water logged ground. (The figure on foot is in the Vespa post.)

Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes
It never fails… I watch this and my skin and spirit soar. What I wouldn't have done to have had her sing me to sleep when I was a kid. What I wouldn't do to have her do it even now.
Especially now.
RIGHT-CLICK and SAVE TARGET AS, then launch
(it will still be a stream, though, when launched)
Pay close attention to her otherworldly means of bringing sound into our world.

It's weird how one day everything seems so alive and so new and then some days seem so consumed by time, loss, resentment, anger, sadness,…
Sometimes I look at POST SECRET (which one should never do when feeling bruised) and think I might send in my very own secrets…
Everyone is Famous
Reading time: 6 – 10 minutes
Sometimes I am so fascinated by and even impressed by the graffiti of New Yorkers. Wander into any public bathroom across the rest of the United States and you will see the invariable puns, raunchy jokes, hate words, or sex ads, and you can find those in New York, too, but more often than not, you will find political expressions, poetry, poignant commentary, and empowering or thought-provoking quotes. Just stop into any Starbuck's bathroom (some of the most disgusting bathrooms on the planet). It's really surreal and sometimes I wish I had my camera with me! Lately, I have remembered to bring my camera and captured these!
The graffiti above made my heart sink, but I am not in the mood to go into that right now. I just thought when I read it, "wow…"
So my Halloween Weekend was launched by going to PYRAMID CLUB for 1984, this time featuring MADONNA all night long. I was only interested in going because I love my pals, but I had NO IDEA I would end up having such a great time! The entire idea was John's, so I want to give him credit here. I love that guy so much. I don't see him enough.
Before I met up with the entirety of the gang, I met up with my homey, Soce, so we could spend some quality time together.
While I had waited for Soce to arrive, I had kept my personal space pretty clear of the advances of some of the fellas, even though they were all perfectly nice guys. I just wanted to be alone, though, and think, feel, ponder… but eventually I was struck by the immediate warmth, kindness, and vibe of one particular guy who approached me a couple of times. Nothing sexual or creepy or invasive, just totally friendly conversation. So we were chattin' it up and he finally reveals to me that he is BARRY Z of the famous BARRY Z SHOW that is a New York City cornerstone of Public Access TV here! I mean, Barry has interviewed everybody and anybody who has ever passed through the entertainment industry of New York City within the past 13 years or so, especially in the Broadway, Off-Broadway world! So fascinating!
Public Access Television is one of the coolest things EVER in NYC, even though it's popularity and cool population have moved on to more digital, online mediums in more recent years. Still, it's place in art and entertainment and porn culture for the New Yorker is permanent, and Barry Z is an icon. It was truly wonderful to spend time with him and hear his stories and see his genuine excitement to hear about the work I do, and even more exciting for him was to find out he could meet the hot SOCE! He's been trying to score an interview with Soce for a long time, apparently! Anyway, I was really honored to have met him and have plans to hang out again! WOO HOO!
New York Premier Entertainment TV
News Magazine show focusing on celebrity interviews, broadway, off- broadway, film and and music.
Johnny finally met up with Soce and me, before heading over to Pyramid Club for our night of dancing and lovin'. Christian finally met up with me, too! We've been in contact for more than a year ONLINE, but finally met last night! YAY! My gosh, he is so cute and nice and we had a really good time! We definitely bonded.
I always wait way too long to meet people from online. I get all weird and evasive, but I have a new resolve this year. I'm inviting them all out to meet me and I can't wait! I don't meet these guys without a LOT of interaction online first, AND I never meet someone just on a whim. Something has to strike me about that person. Interestingly, I met Soce through Friendster about a year ago, too! I will forever by grateful for that choice. He's a seriously inspiring, sweet, powerful and smart guy. I love him so much!
I sometimes forget how many amazing people I know because of the wonders of the pixel and light of cyberspace.
So the night was SO fun and I danced and laughed and hugged and smooched and loved and gyrated and boogied and everyone was so happy. And… one of my favorite parts of the night? SEEING MY SWEETHEART, DEANDRA!! YAY!!!
I almost didn't go, but I am so glad I did!
Most surprising part of the night? Having some gorgeous girl tap me on the head and ask me if my hat stood for ANIMAL RIGHTS (it reads A/R with "animal rights" in smaller print, so she couldn't read it). I said, why yes! And she hugged and raved that she was so happy to see someone standing for the animals, even in the midst of fun and dancing. It really makes me happy to know others care.
Who knows what the rest of the holiday weekend will bring.

ANNE, CocteauBoy, n SYDNEY
My goodness the lovely ladies were out last light! YOWZA!! Hee hee, this is Anne and Sydney of THE HAZZARDS, a local New York City two-girl-ukelele-band-formerly-known-as-The-Ukes-of-Hazzard become-full-band-now-called-The-Hazzards! They were SO FUN!!! I love seeing them perform because they make me so happy. I give a lot of support and love to anyone or anything that makes me laugh and happy. I finally got over to Galapagos Art Space for their "Make Out Party" dragging with me Aileen and Johnny and we had a blast! I had asked THE HAZZARDS to make sure they brought some lovely goods for me to buy the next time they performed, because I never seem to get a damn kick-ass T-shirt of theirs and I wanna wear it proudly! So it happens, they got my message and DID bring some! YAY!!
Except… the style I wanted was only in a SMALL. Sydney insisted it would fit my oh-so-svelt body, but I begged to differ, so she gave me a SECOND Tee shirt just to shut me up, and it was the famous "Shut Up and Make Out" Tee Shirt!!! Woo Hoo! So this morning I decided to try on the supposedly mis-sized first t-shirt, since Sydney had sworn that it would truly fit those of the "husky" pursuasion.
Turns out, I was right.
Oh, how right I was.
Slipping myself into the sexy, yellow THE HAZZARDS t-shirt was like squeezing toothpaste back into a tube. I walked up to my big mirror and I stared in horror at what looked to be a walrus trapped in a yellow rubber band. Needless to say, I will have to stalk the gals for a LARGER t-shirt of that color and style at future show.
Thanks, gals!!
Check them out so that your day can be as bright as mine! YAY!

We've been making some improvements to the MOM website which we'd like to let you know about.
The first feature is namelist documentation.
This page contains documentations on all the fortran namelists used by MOM. It serves as a handy interface to the documentation already available within the source code. This page is automatically generated from the source code itself, so if you find any errors, or would like to make any improvements, this can be done by editing the code and submitting the changes to github.
The second feature is a data portal.
This portal provides download links to all the test case data used by MOM. This data is usually accessed by git-annex (which is still the preferred form of access). We have had a lot of feedback from people who havn't been able to use git-annex for various reasons, so this alternate download option will let you access the data as needed.
Both of these features should be considered as being in beta, so you might see some minor changes happening in the coming days. If you find any errors, broken links, etc, please let me know and I'll try to fix them up ASAP.Tweet
Get up and running in no time at all.Quickstart Guide
All MOM code is available on Github.Download

can I install a new graphics card on my laptop?
can I get someone to install one in for me?
A question for my Laptop.?
can I install a new graphics card on my laptop?
"A question for my laptop?" Doesnt that imply you want to ask your laptop? NO you CANT put a graphics card in your laptop.
i'm pretty sure you will have to buy one. the computer has a factory installed one with certain specifications and you cannot install on top of this to make it better. if you do buy one, make sure it is compatible with your laptop! also i would not install it myself if i were you.
its impossible to install a new graphics card in a laptop because the graphics card is implemented into the processor chip, you would have to carefully De-solder the chip and Re-solder a new one in which is highly unrecommended
I'm in the field of computer repair, and i really don't recommend it. Even professionals don't recommend it because you can destroy the laptops processor if there are any errors during installation
depending on the make, year and graphics card you would like to get I believe.
The graphics are built in. its not like a desktop with cards you insert. so no.
You can't install hardware. Hardware is the actual chips and equipment inside of the computer.
(A graphics card is hardware.)
what kind of laptop?:)
low cost laptops & desktop and more visit this to find best one http://10k-for.me/laptop
That will depend on several things
Your laptop make
Your motherboard
Your finances
Many of today's laptops are not that easy to upgrade individual components because the makers have tailor made parts to fit or have actually fitted the components to the main board rendering most upgrades not viable.
I would contact your laptop maker to ask if they do a component that would be closer to your requirements but make sure your sat down when they tell you the cost

Install XAMPP, install Strawberry Perl, maybe install DBD::mysql in Perl, reboot!, install Movable Type. Create database, configure everything, then run. Also use NotePad++ and FileZilla.

Continue reading Installing Movable Type on a local XAMPP.
Initial impetus for upgrade was 5.04 instal broke so I could not access assets or instantiate an asset from inside an entry page. Turns out the last asset I uploaded was to big or clumsy to render a thumbnail in the assets page, so I got a communications error or internal server error.
Continue reading Upgrade Movable Type from 5.04 to 5.2.
The title is a vamp off of a webpage that shows how Microsoft server is just a mess compared to Linux Apache. Good gosh sometime I feel the same about Movable Type.

There are quite a few blog posts around the inter webs about the new iOS UI testing and how to do it. Most of them make multiple calls to
XCUIApplication(). For example:
XCTAssertEqual("Hello", XCUIApplication().staticTexts.element.title)
In most cases this code, even though technically incorrect, will work fine. However in some cases it won't. The problem stems from the multiple calls to
The people who have written this code seem to assume that
XCUIApplication() is accessing a singleton. Therefore multiple calls to it are fine. However, after a bug report to Apple I was told that it is actually creating a new instance of the application each time. Now because this application is used for communicating with the currently running app, it's ok is most cases if there are multiple instances.
But here's one where it isn't:
XCUIApplication().launchArguments = ["abc"]
Obvious now you think about it. But the launchArgument is being set on one instance and the simulator is being launched by another. So the argument will never be passed to it. Here's how the code should have looked:
let app = XCUIApplication()
app.launchArguments = ["abc"]
To be far, Apple's doco on UI testing is pretty light. But the best recommendation I can give is to create an abstract test case class and set a local app variable. Like this:
class AbstractTestCase : XCTestCase {
var app:XCUIApplication!
override fun setUp() {
app = XCUIApplication()
Now all you do is use
app everywhere you need it.

A Picnic With Wine
It's date night once again and both of you have packed a romantic picnic full of sensual foods to feed each other. Instead of a blanket, you should pack a large tarp and enough grapes and jelly for the trip. When you find just the right spot, lay out your tarp. Proceed to cover the tarp with enough grapes and jelly to make enough wine for lunch. Disrobe completely roll and stomp your way through the sweet fruit. Roll together vigorously and achieve orgasm. Once this is accomplished, enjoy the picnic.
Did they really do it? What do you think?
