With only two buttons, Divekick manages to be one of the most thrilling, captivating and entertaining fighting games around. Unfortunately, it has some technical issues and some of its modes are uninspired.
Without a doubt, "fighting" has always been one of the most intimidating genres in video games. Pulling off a convoluted combination of buttons, countering moves and performing parries have always been a trademark of the genre and since these mechanics tend to overwhelm newcomers, some players usually give up before they even understand what the genre is all about. Unlike most traditional fighting games, Divekick is approachable and welcoming to newcomers and while some of the game's main components always remain simple, Divekick never loses its depth.
In terms of gameplay, Divekick couldn't be simpler to grasp. There are only two buttons: one is used for jumping and the other one is used for kicking, hence the name of the game. Since characters have 1000 HP and each hit does 1.000.000 damage, getting hit means losing the round and this fast-paced element makes the game incredibly thrilling (not to mention ridiculously funny.) The "less is more" approach guarantees that those who have never played fighting games before can immediately pick up Divekick and have fun with it.
Although the game seems remarkably simplistic at first, additional mechanics add depth. First of all, each character has unique jumping and kicking abilities: S-Kill can teleport, Stream moves in a wave-like pattern, The Baz leaves a trail of electricity after kicking and so on and so forth. Since most characters have their unique abilities and capabilities, analyzing which character is better against certain opponent is definitely part of the strategy. Apart from those characteristics, pushing two buttons at the same time let's you perform a special move.
Like in Street Fighter X Tekken, Divekick features a gem-selecting system. There are four types of gems: one increases jump speed, another one increases kick speed, a third gem increases the rate of Kick Factor and the last one increases all statistics significantly, but if you lose at least one round, you lose the match. As you can imagine, gem-selecting is an important part of the strategy and selecting gems according your character's advantages or disadvantages can make the difference in most matches.
As you can see, while Divekick only requires two buttons to play, this shouldn't be confused for a simplistic fighting game. There's a deep strategy involved: calculating the angle in which characters kick, building up the Kick Factor meter, selecting a gem at the beginning of the match and performing special moves when the situation requires it is a prominent part of Divekick and if you don't take all this into account, you'll have a huge disadvantage.
That said, the roster of characters is absolutely ridiculous and an important part of what makes this game so funny. Jefailey's head inflates after winning each round, making it easier to get hit. Victoria Shoals is a doctor who always takes down notes, even after she loses the round. Twin brothers Dive and Kick parody Yun and Yang from the Street Fighter series. Uncle Sensei is an old man who uses boots in his hands as well as his feet and he alternates between both after every kick. Overall, the roster is varied and funny and each of the thirteen characters is based on famous fighting game characters who are well-known for using dive kicks.
But for all its strengths, Divekick isn't without some issues. First of all, the single-player mode is lacking. In the single-player campaign, you play against a series of opponents in a succession. At the beginning and the end of those matches, you see a cutscene that explains why the character you're using decided to fight and what happens after he or she wins the tournament. Without a doubt, story mode was one of the game's most promising modes, since the ridiculous sense of humor that permeates every single aspect of the game (loading screens, character design and even the credits) could have been put the great use here. Unfortunately, this mode is lackluster.
In addition, I had some technical issues during my playthrough. There were times during the single-player campaign when characters were obviously making contact, but the game refused to declare a winner. This situation aggravated during the online play and while this might have be related to lag or connection issues, I clearly remember times when one character was directly kicking another, but the game completely disregarded this and the match continued. Finally, one of the most noticeable omissions is the lack of modes: there's a story mode, versus and online modes and that's pretty much it.
In conclusion, Divekick is an approachable fighting game that those who have always felt intimidated by the genre's convoluted mechanics can enjoy. If you're willing to overlook the lack of content and if you want to play against others, Divekick might be the fighting game for you.

Profits rise at cloud computing firm Iomart
Iomart, the Glasgow-based cloud computing firm, has forecast that its profits for 2012 are on course to come in ahead of market expectations.
In a statement to the London Stock Exchange, it said the year to the end of this month is likely to see pre-tax adjusted profit of around £10.6m.
That would be a rise from £6.9m in the previous year.
It said the firm's growth was coming from expansion of its existing base as well as from acquisitions.
It bought Manchester-based Melbourne Server Hosting in August 2012.
Directors say that pattern is expected to continue as consolidation in the cloud computing sector takes place.
Angus MacSween, the firm's chief executive, said: "Iomart continues to benefit from a compelling mix of a growing market, recurring revenues, sticky customers, good forward visibility and a leading competitive position.
"As a result we remain very confident of further growth in the next financial year and beyond."

Due diligence for intangible assets.
Intangible Asset Transaction Due Diligence
Intangible asset due diligence is not an exercise that is useful only after a company suspects or experiences the materialization of a risk, i.e., misappropriation, infringement, etc., or is notified they are a defendant to a lawsuit!
Intangible Asset Monitoring During Due Diligence: A Necessary, But Often Overlooked Requisite!
It's important to recognize that merely because a deal or transaction has progressed to the due diligence stage, there is absolutely no guarantee the projected values, synergies, and competitive advantages the targeted intangible assets are projected to bring will sustain those projections.

From the opening moments of the first episode of Mad Men, I felt that I was witnessing something amazing. I didn't know what it was but I knew it was major. Turns out I wasn't alone.
Mad Men was a critical hit from the start, and has the awards to prove it. The show won the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series its first four seasons (only Hill Street Blues, LA Law and The West Wing can lay claim to such a feat) and the Golden Globe for Best Television Series (Drama) the first three seasons. The meticulous attention to every detail of the time period has been noted and celebrated, and members of the cast quickly became household names.
The series begins in March 1960 and is set in the NYC/Madison Avenue ad agency, Sterling Cooper. For the past seven seasons, we've witnessed the turbulent decade of the Sixties through the SC employees… particularly Don Draper (Jon Hamm). Draper is a rising star at the agency and the living embodiment of the term "men want to be him and women want to be with him". And much like the decade, Draper's life is just as turbulent; the advertising executive, much like the commercials he promotes, is himself an illusion.
Richard "Dick" Whitman was the son of an prostitute who died giving birth to him. When he was 10, his abusive father was killed when he was kicked in the head by a horse. During the Korean War, Whitman enlists in the US Army. It's there that he accidentally causes the death of his commanding officer, Donald Draper. Whitman switches dog tags with Draper and goes from living tragedy to Purple Heart recipient (while literally burying his old life).
And the rest, as they say, is history.
There are so many great moments/episodes from the series that I love. If I had to choose just one moment that personifies my love for Mad Men, it would have to be 'The Carousel.'
*and wouldn't you know it… they opened the final season with that scene!*
When Mad Man premiered in 2007 on AMC, the channel was still in the midst of its transition from a classic movie network. Now, AMC is considered one of the more innovative networks by helping to usher in a new era of dramatic television [Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead both live(d) here]. Man Men is arguably a major part of that success.
Mad Men began its final run of seven episodes on Sunday, April 5th. The show will air its series finale on May 17. Go here for a guide to previous seasons.

Dominic Dracon was the head of a prominent crime family in Manhattan, he passed the role down to his grandson, Tony Dracon. He has taken the alias G. F. Benton.
Dominic Dracon and Mace Malone were partners in crime during the 1920's, until Malone disappeared with the goods he and Dracon had recently stolen. Dracon searched for years for Malone and the stolen diamonds to no avail. Years later, under the alias G. F. Benton, Dracon moved into his old office, and ran it as a museum, looking for some clue as to the diamonds' location.
In 1995, the elderly Dominic and his grandson, Tony, followed clues in an old letter from Mace that suggested the stash of diamonds were buried in the foundations of Mace's old nightclub, the Silver Falcon. During their search for the diamonds, Tony captured detective Matt Bluestone, who had come to wrong conclusions concerning his search for the Illuminati Society. Dominic, as "G. F. Benton" was visited by Matt's worried partner, Elisa Maza, gave her sufficient information to lead her to the Silver Falcon nightclub, and then informed Tony of her arrival so she could be captured as well. However, it turned out the stash of jewels was not under the nightclub, merely a mocking letter from Mace saying: "Right idea, wrong falcon". Elisa deduced that the letter from Mace was actually refering to a statue of a falcon on a building visible from Mace's old office. When Tony and his men arrived there with Elisa and Matt, Elisa managed to defeat them with Broadway's help. Dominic then revealed himself to Elisa and tried to get the jewels from her, only to see that the case hidded inside the falcon statue merely contained marbles and another letter from Mace saying: "I feel sorry for you, DD. You still haven't learnt crime doesn't pay. Your old partner Mace." Dominic was arrested along with his grandson afterwards.

Note post is a copy from my joyssan.wordpress.com blog as I planned to shift to wordpress since is more convenient. Will start blogging on two sides as I haven't finish understanding wordpress. Now back to the topic.
My travel period was on the 14-20 October 2013 (7 days 6 Nights) Itinerary to share with you guys. This only a summary itinerary, details will be cover in other post.
Day 1
Arrival at Incheon Airport at 3.20pm (have a light meal by purchasing chicken teriyaki sandwich from 7-11 on the arrival hall next to skin food & reload T-money) Hop on to AREX (Airport Rail Express) to Honggik University Station (Hongdae Station) to make a transfer to Chungjeongno Station.
Check in Brown Resident at Chungjeongno Station (Line 2/5 Exit 4)
Dinner at Palsaik Samgyupsal ( 8 flavours grilled samgyupsal) this is the best grilled samgyupsal I had in my entire life highly recommended! This restaurant is very famous and is located at Sinchon Station (Line 2 Exit 6)
Have some dessert at Twosome Cafe after that at Shichon branch and walk lottering around Sinchon and we called it a day!
Day 2
It was rainy all the day and the lowest temperature was 9 degrees. Journey to Sokcho which is is located at the north-east of Korea so is nearer to the sea they have a lot of harbour around. Mt Seorak is the main reason to stop by at Sokcho.
Headed to Dong Seoul bus terminal to purchase our bus ticket to Sokcho Intercity Bus Terminal. Dong Seoul bus terminal it is located at Gangbyeon Subway Station (Line 2 Exit 4). (Dong Seoul bus terminal is just opposite of the exit)
Tips: when purchasing the ticket to Sokcho, inform the counter to get a express bus ticket and it will take 2 hours and 15 minutes to reach Sokcho Intercity Bus Terminal while the normal ticket will take up to 3 hours. Cost for single trip is 17,300 won.

After having the Wifi RGB Controller from my previous blog post for a few months, I've wanted to control a new LED strip as kitchen lighting. This time I did not used the H801, but decided to order the parts and build myself a Wifi LED Dimmer using the ESP8266.
This dimmer uses a Mosfet to control a warm white LED Strip using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). To use it via wifi I've copied most of the source code from the RGB Controller.
For this dimmer I've ordered the following parts:
We start off with the ESP8266. This wifi enabled microcontroller will be having the software to control the LED's. It has to be powered with 3.3V, and I wanted to use the 12V supply from the LED strip, so I've used a step-down converter (don't forget to set it to 3.3V before connecting). On the GPIO pin of the ESP8266, I connected a MOSFET to create the PWM signal. It is capable of switching quite a lot of Amperes and it is fast. I found out it get's quite hot while doing this. So I will be ordering some heatsinks to cool it down and extend the lifetime.
The following circuit describes how I've connected the parts:
As a first test, and to be able to program and debug the software, I've connected the parts on a breadboard. I've used a single parts of the LED strip to be able to see the results directly.
To program the ESP8266, I use the same USB FTDI programmer that I use for my Arduino projects. I also use the Arduino IDE, as explained in the blog post about the RGB Controller. The TX, RX and Ground of the FTDI are connected to the ESP8266. When I'm ready to write some code to the ESP8266, I connect the GPIO0 port to Ground, and reset the device manually right before the Arduino IDE writes the code, by connecting the Reset pin of the ESP8266 to Ground for a second and releasing it.
As mentioned earlier in this post, I've based the software on the ESP8622 RGB Controller I've created earlier. So the usage of this dimmer is in the same way, the ESP8266 acts as a webserver. At the bottom of this post you can find the software I wrote for this device. The code connects the device to the specified wifi network, and start a webserver on the IP it gets from the DHCP server (this IP is printed to the serial upon boot). Using a simple http call to the device on http://192.168.0.xx/led/0 it is possible to send a 0-100 number and let the leds dim to this value. The code also uses some logic to include a nice fade effect between changes.
I've included a video below to show the result. In this video I've used a script on my PC to make a call to the LED Dimmer's webserver every 2 seconds, and change it to a different value (0,40,70,100).
I'm planning to include this into my home automation controller and will post an update on how I did it once it's finished.
Update: A new post is available to control this LED Dimmer using OpenHAB.

Nice job with the dimmer, it looks great. Two questions:
1) Is there a reason you used the beefy buck converter instead of a smaller, cheaper AMS1117 linear regulator?
2) What protocol will you be using for your home automation?
I look forward to seeing your next post!

Thanks for this post! I built the dimmer as a LED aquarium light dimmer and it seems to work – kind of. It's off at 0, flashes at 1 and seems to be the same brightness from 2 to 100. Any idea why? I'm using this between the ESP-12 and the 4 x 10W LED's: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331820188376 – maybe it's the culprit? I used a four channel board as I plan on adding additional colors shortly.
Also, aside from controlling via typing in URL's, what can I use as a front-end? I'm playing with OpenHAB right now, but haven't had success with it yet – it looks interesting, but is a bit daunting right now.
Oh, and I'm getting a Connection Refused message when I try to connect via openHAB.
Also, aside from typing in a URL as http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/led/0, are there additional commands I can use?

Can you help me please?
I use arduino generic uno but arduino has got error. Arduino gives library error. Do these codes have for arduino uno.Because I dont have power converter but I have arduino uno
I added a 1K resistor on the PWM output before the MOSFET input, to prevent it from blowing up. Nice work on the sketch and schematic! You've helped me a lot in automating my superfish LED light! Now to try homekit/philips Hue/Wemo integration 😀

I love experimenting with new ways of shaping bread and was very pleased with the results of this particular experiment. It is a messy affair to shape – I got almond filling everywhere, but the end result is very attractive. You start by rolling out the dough into a large rectangle and spreading the filling all over, leaving a small border around the edge, then roll it up, like making cinnamon rolls, slice the log in half lengthways, leaving about 3cm at the top attached; then, this is the messy bit – you twist the length of dough all the way along so that it resembles a coil, then place it in a cake tin in a spiral shape. Don't worry if none of that made sense to you – I've included some photos of each step under the recipe.
The way the dough is shaped ensures that the filling is evenly spread throughout the loaf – you get some in every bite. I went for an almond filling made with marzipan, egg whites, butter, sugar and ground almonds, it is incredibly simple to make as you just blitz it all together in a food processor (you could whisk it together with an electric mixer if you don't have a food processor). The dough is flavoured with vanilla – either the seeds from a vanilla pod or vanilla extract, and is enriched with milk, butter and egg. It has got to be the softest bread I have ever made, the loaf was incredibly soft and light, with a delicate almond and vanilla flavour. It was sweet, but not overly so; we polished the loaf off within a couple of days, eating it both for breakfast and snacks (it was addictively good…).
The dough itself is quite sticky, so is best made in a stand mixer, although you can knead it by hand if you want (I did), just be prepared to get a bit messy, and resist the urge to add any extra flour unless the dough is actually wet – sticky dough means softer bread. It is a good idea to invest in a dough scraper, it helps immensely when your dough is stuck to the worktop and is also useful for slicing and portioning it out. I always like to let my dough rise in the fridge overnight; it not only splits up the workload, but lets you get the bread on the table quicker the next day and improves the flavour.
Almond Vanilla Twisted Bread
- 240 ml (1 cup) whole milk
- 50 g (scant 1/4 cup0 butter
- 1 vanilla pod/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 500 g (4 + scant 1/4 cups) strong white bread flour
- 50 g (1/4 cup) sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 10 g (3 tsp) fast action yeast
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 medium egg whites
- 200 g (7oz) marzipan
- 50 g (scant 1/4 cup) softened butter
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 50 g (2 oz) ground almonds
To Finish
- 1 egg yolk beaten with a little milk
- handful flaked almonds
Place the milk, butter and vanilla in a pan and heat until just boiling. Remove from the heat and leave to cool until lukewarm (scalding the milk like this helps to make the finished loaf softer).
Place the flour in a large bowl (the bowl of your stand mixer if you have one) and add the yeast to one side and the sugar and salt to the other. Add the egg and the lukewarm milk (scrape the seeds out of the vanilla pod if using, then remove the pod) and mix it all together until it forms a sticky dough.
Knead either with the mixer or by hand on an un-floured surface until the dough is smooth and stretchy. If you are kneading by hand it will be quite sticky to start with, but after a few minutes of kneading it will become smooth (you may need to prise it off the work surface with a dough scraper).
Place in a clean lightly oiled bowl and cover with oiled clingfilm. At this point you can either let it rise for an hour or so at room temperature until doubled in size, or place the dough in the fridge to rise overnight.
If you have left the dough in the fridge overnight, let it sit out for about half an hour to come up to room temperature.
Meanwhile, make the filling. Place the egg whites in a food processor and pulse until they are frothy. Crumble in the marzipan and continue to pulse until smooth. Add the butter, sugar and ground almonds and pulse again until combined.
Line the base of a deep, 23cm/9in round, removable base cake tin with greaseproof paper.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into an 36x46cm/18x14in rectangle. Spread the filling all over the dough leaving an inch gap around the edges.
Roll the dough up from the long side (like making cinnamon rolls),cut the roll of dough in half lengthways, leaving an inch or so at the top uncut. This next part is messy, be prepared to get almond filling everywhere...Twist the dough all the way along so that it so that it has a coiled appearance. Coil the length of twisted dough into the prepared cake tin in a spiral shape.
Cover loosely with oiled clingfilm and set aside to rise for an hour or so until risen and puffy.
Heat the oven to 200C/400Fgas mark 6.
Brush the risen dough with the beaten egg yolk and scatter over the flaked almonds. Bake for 50-60 minutes, covering with tin foil once the top is brown. It is done when the centre measures 94°C/200°F on a probe thermometer.
Leave to cool in the tin on a wire rack for at least half an hour before unmoulding.

37 Comments on Almond Vanilla Twisted Bread
This looks wonderful – beautiful and tasty! I've made bread but have never twisted the dough to get this lovely outcome. Must try it 🙂 #tastytuesdays
Can I move in with you Hannah? We will bake round the clock and get really fat… or open a café! This looks incredible and love the twisting technique… Honestly you should go for GBBO… Thanks for linking to #CookBlogShare
Your blog always makes me feel hungry. And this looks delicious! Like a better for you version of an almond croissant!!
Love these buns!! I just noticed that the two #cookblogshare images most screaming to be clicked on are both yours 🙂
– Awesome job… Not just with delicious bakes but with such gorgeous photography too!
While it may have had a messy start, your bread came out beautifully. I always love breads in different shapes. Happy FF, and have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
This bread looks so rich and chewy; just the way I like it. Great job 🙂
This looks delicious!! I love a good sticky dough especially if it turns out like this! I love the flavours of Almond and vanilla together and never tried in bread like this… Looks absolutely gorgeous!!
Beautiful bread!!! 🙂
This sounds like the most yummiest bread ever!! Wow!
What amazing bread!!! It's a work of art, and I'm sure it will be very popular at this week's party! Thank you so much for bringing it to Fiesta Friday 🙂
This looks awesome! I love that shape, its a work of art! I need to start trying filled breads, gonna have to give this a go!
Looks beautiful and super soft!
What a gorgeous bread! Thank you for the how too pictures.
How beautiful! The almond filling is such a clever idea, I'll have to copy that 🙂 And I love the way you shaped the bread; the slicing and twisting reminds me a bit of a babka, and then spiralling it made it so pretty!
This looks so stunning, I just love your posts and blog, so glad I found you! Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays x x
Such a beautiful bread! Your photos are stunning! 😀
This looks crazy good ! i was still for a whole minute.. just admiring your pic of this beautiful Almond bread 🙂
This looks beautiful 🙂
i want this so so so much!
Good looking bread that I am sure tastes as good as it looks! I really appreciate that you provide measurements in cups, tbsp. etc. As of yet I am not too good at converting ingredients as I am afraid I will make a mistake and ruin the recipe I might make 🙂
I love the sound of your recipe, almonds and vanilla, and I can just imagine how wonderful it tastes – I love you photo's too!
It was the picture that first caught my eye. Simply beautiful and the recipe is great as well!
This looks so great, I just want to tear a piece off and have it with a classic glass of milk! Delicious 🙂
I love the idea of this – bet the marzipan tasted amazing. Thanks loads for joining in with #Bakeoftheweek again – really appreciate you getting involved. New roundup now open x
This is a super gorgeous bread!!
How do I know if I should leave it for 50 OR 60 minutes?
Hello. I was curious how long you kneaded your dough for. I used my mixing with kneading tool until the sides cleaned up and then kneaded by hand for only a couple minutes. The poke test came back great but it wasn't super stretching like the window pane test and the surface of the dough wasn't entirely smooth.Thanks
This recipe calls for marzipan. How is this different from almond paste. Do these things mean the same thing? I'm in the US if it's just a matter of what it's called. Thanks!
This looks lovely. Can't wait to make it. Can anyone provide the American measurements in CUPS and teaspoons, please? Please add me to your email list.
So happy to see that you have already included the American CUPS and teaspoons. Yeah! Will love to try making this twisted ALMOND bread recipe. Thank you!!

Shoyu Ramen
- 4 Pound chicken necks and backs
- 4 large soft-boiled egg, peeled and soaked for 1 hour in equal parts soy sauce and mirin sweet rice wine
- 5 Ounce baby spinach, steamed
- 16 Ounce 16 ounce dried chuka soba, curly noodles boiled until al dente
- Shoyu or other soy sauce, for seasoning and brushing
- 1 12-by-2-inch piece of kombu, seaweed
- salt
- 1 3 1/2-pound boneless pork shoulder butt, trimmed and tied
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup shoyu or other soy sauce
- 4 Quart water
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 Ounce fresh ginger, thinly sliced 1/2 cup
- 1 large leek, halved lengthwise
- 1 3-pound rack of pork baby back ribs, cut into 4 sections
- 2 thinly sliced scallions
1. Make the Broth: In a large stockpot, combine the chicken, ribs, leek, ginger, garlic, water and shoyu. Bring to a boil.
2. Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat the oil. Season the pork butt with salt and brown it well on all sides over high heat, 12 minutes; transfer to the stockpot. Simmer the broth over moderately low heat for 2 hours, until the pork butt and ribs are just tender; skim any scum that rises to the surface. Transfer the pork butt and ribs to a platter and refrigerate. Strain the broth and discard the remaining solids.
3. Return the broth to the pot. Add the kombu and simmer over moderately low heat for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool, then chill and refrigerate the broth overnight.
4. The Next Day, Prepare the Ramen: Preheat the broiler. Skim the fat off of the broth and discard the kombu. Bring the broth to a simmer. Season with shoyu and keep hot.
5. Untie the pork butt and slice it across the grain 1/3 inch thick. Cut the ribs between the bones. Arrange the pork slices and ribs on a large baking sheet and brush with shoyu. Broil 8 inches from the heat for 3 minutes, turning once, until the meat is crisp; keep warm.
6. Divide the cooked noodles among 8 bowls and ladle 1 1/2 cups of broth into each one. Add the spinach in piles. Drain the eggs, cut each one in half lengthwise and set a half in each bowl. Arrange 2 slices of pork butt and 1 rib in each bowl and garnish with the scallions and nori. Serve the ramen immediately, passing the rice vinegar and togarashi at the table.

Since this is such a simple dish, make sure you buy the freshest, tastiest chicken you can find.
Very quick and easy to prepare with delicious juicy chicken as a result. No spring onions in the house so I added a small halved onion. I served this with rice and broccoli and sprinkled with soy sauce and fresh coriander. - 18 May 2014 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
This is a perfect method for poaching chicken. Low and slow. The meat can be used for a variety of dishes. Moist and tender chicken. Thanks for a great method. - 01 May 2013 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)

Treasury Department Mulls Bond Buyback Amid Surplus
WASHINGTON -- For the first time since the prospect of a surplus has emerged, the Treasury Department is weighing whether it should begin repurchasing government bonds in a kind of reverse government auction.
Officials said the Treasury last bought back notes from private holders in the early 1970s, as part of an exchange program.

(NOTE: Many of you already received this letter by mail or e-mail. Thank you for your generous response.)
November, 2009
Dear Brother or Sister in Christ:
Praise Jesus, the Prince of Peace! Thank you for your steadfastness in serving Christ in the midst of the trying circumstances around us. By reading and sharing God's word in One Bread One Body, you are helping to build Christ's Kingdom here on earth. In responding to our Special Appeal last fall and throughout the year, you have been a source of inspiration and encouragement to us as we strive to fulfill the far-reaching vision that the Holy Spirit gave to Father Al Lauer, our founder.
Our many ministries continue to increase and affect many lives as we offer God's Word "even to the ends of the earth." Your sacrificial donations, both large and small, make it possible for us have our materials available in the USA, foreign countries, and globally via the Internet. The Lord continues to use these resources to touch lives and change hearts. Progress has been slow as we made changes in the basic computer program that enables our ministry to send out our books and materials. The Gospel is also being proclaimed through radio broadcasts, the Bible telephone line, and the Guadalupe Bible College.
The annual Bible Institute was powerfully anointed by the Holy Spirit. The speakers, the teachers, the participants, and all who served were astonished at the way that the Holy Spirit continues to exceed all expectations. Please pray that this ministry can continue its good work even though the donations received did not meet our expenses this year.
The Paul Jansen Discipleship Retreat Center offers seminars that deepen one's commitment to Christ. This ministry needs a large infusion of funds in order to complete the building project. When finished, the discipleship center will include a Chapel, meeting rooms, and residence rooms to accommodate about 80 participants. Work cannot go forward until sufficient funds are available to finish the job. Our original building permit has expired and in order to obtain a new permit, changes must be made to meet current codes. Please pray that God's will and His timing will be perfect for this undertaking.
All of our teachers, editors, office personnel, mailing crews, and those who maintain the buildings – whether they give a few hours or work full time – are VOLUNTEERS. No one is paid. We retain the policy of providing our materials and resources, even the retreats and Bible Institute, for a free-will offering.
Every effort is made to control expenses and to find the most efficient way to respond to your requests. Since the cost of postage, shipping, and printing have greatly increased, our expenses have risen considerably while our donations have not. Please continue to pray for all of our needs. Pray especially for uninterrupted leadership for each of the ministries and for new committed workers. Any offering you can give now or in the future in support of our ministries enables us to continue our mission in serving the Lord and His Church. May the Lord bless you and all your loved ones in the coming holy seasons of Advent and Christmas.

You'll find 38,000 rose bushes with more than 500 different varieties of roses, enabling visitors to learn about all of the different types of roses through sight and smell.

An inborn error of leucine metabolism. It leads to an autosomal recessive syndrome with variable clinical phenotype, ranging from delayed speech development to severe psychomotor retardation, coma, failure to thrive, metabolic acidosis and dystonia. MGA1 can be distinguished from other forms of MGA by the pattern of metabolite excretion: 3-methylglutaconic acid levels are higher than those detected in other forms, whereas methylglutaric acid levels are usually only slightly elevated and there is a high level of 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid excretion (not present in other MGA forms).

Citing Sources that are Online...
Works Cited Page...
The Basics...
There are a lot of things you should know about how to write a research paper, but I am only going to show you the rules of citing your sources. The rest of your paper you are on your own (BAHAHAHAHA) just kidding.
Ok. The simple rules....
What is a Citation?
This can get a bit tricky, so remember the rule.
Modern Language Association- A format of writing that is known to the literary world.
*make sure your paper is doubled spaced
(this includes the Works Cited page as well!)
*use New Times Roman and a 12pt font
*include a header on the top right side of your paper.
(Last name and page number)
*make sure your paper has 1" margins
*have a title
(centered on page in normal text)
*make sure your name, teacher's name, course, and date are on the first paper only (in that order)
Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263).
Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263).
A "citation" is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your paper came from another source.
The reason for this type of citation is to give credit to the original author and to keep your writing free from being accused of Plagiarism.
Side note- Plagiarism will get you thrown out of College permanently and it will also result in a zero for this paper.
(Picture found on Google)
The Nitty Gritty of Print Citations...
MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page.
The author's name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the
Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (
stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263).
Do you see how the author's name is somewhere within the text to show ownership?
Also, don't forget the punctuation goes on the outside of the parentheses.
Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263)
Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263)
When Do I Need to Cite?
Whenever you use quotes
Whenever you paraphrase
Whenever you use an idea that someone else has already expressed
Whenever you make specific reference to the work of another
Whenever someone else's work has been critical in developing your own ideas.
*different rules for a book with more than one author
Multiple authors example:
There has been a drastic increase in frivolous lawsuits in the United States in the last ten years
(Dewey, Cheatum and Howe 45).
Note all authors credited with last name only
More than three authors?
"et al."
literally translates to "and others" Cite the first author, then slap an "et al." after it! Only applies to references with more than three authors.
Sometimes writers are confused with how to craft parenthetical citations for electronic sources because of the absence of page numbers, but often, these sorts of entries do not require any sort of parenthetical citation at all. For electronic and Internet sources, follow the following guidelines:
•Include in the text the first item that appears in the Work Cited
entry that corresponds to the citation (e.g. author name, article name, website name, film name).

Fibby is what you call outgoing. She goes out. Outside the BOX. Out into the wild world of the unknown of her mind. Introverts are known for being adventurers of the soul. Others may think Fibby is "quiet", but that's just because they can't hear the inner awesomeness. Nothing wrong with extroverts! There's room for all of us in this world. But extroverts are not introverts. Sorry. Not Fibby's problem.

If you were hoping that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau had learned from the million-plus comments submitted to the agency on its proposed small-dollar lending rule, then you would have been disappointed to hear CFPB Director Richard Cordray's recent testimony before the House Financial Services Committee.
The CFPB's prevailing mindset is apparently not affected by convincing evidence regarding options for borrowers looking for small-dollar credit. In the hearing, Cordray doubled down on the bureau's comingling of legal and illegal small-dollar lending, as well as the refusal to acknowledge the negative consequences of effectively banning regulated lenders.
First and foremost, there is no such thing as a state without payday lending. Cordray noted in his testimony that 14 states ban payday loans, adding that people in these states "seem to get by just fine." However, on the day of Cordray's hearing, at least 11,600 consumers in these 14 states went online seeking a payday loan, according to data from the nonprime credit bureau Clarity Services Inc. Further, in the fourth quarter of 2016, an estimated 2.7 million payday loan applications were submitted online from these same states.
The consumers in these states presumably turned to a lender that marketed loans illegally, including offshore lenders. The CFPB's proposed rule limiting access to legal small-dollar loans would do nothing to protect these consumers.
The bureau's own consumer complaint portal data has for years blurred the line between legal and illegal lenders, unfairly lumping state-licensed and regulated businesses together with unscrupulous, unregulated enterprises. Nearly one-third of complaints attributed to payday lending come from the 14 states without legal, licensed lending. These complaints received by the bureau are often lodged against unregulated institutions — many of which are phantom companies — rather than the state-licensed and regulated businesses that my organization represents.
Even with the comingling of legal and illegal lenders, payday loan complaints have steadily declined in every one of the bureau's monthly complaint snapshot reports over the past two years. The most recent report states that payday loan complaints are down 28%. Overall, payday lending complaints make up only 1.5% of all bureau complaints, which is far below many other products like student loans, credit cards, debt collection, mortgages and other services.
In the five years that the bureau has existed, there have been approximately 550 million payday loan transactions and only 17,207 complaints to the CFPB. That equates to one complaint for every 32,000 loan transactions.
Director Cordray made clear that the bureau still has no good answers for where consumers should turn for credit in the absence of payday lending. When pressed multiple times on the subject, he punted: "[I]t's a legitimate discussion, it's something we're thinking hard about."
The truth is, in the states that do not permit regulated payday lending, people find many other ways to meet their need for small-dollar credit. They bounce more checks, complain more about illegal lenders and debt collectors, and file for bankruptcy at a higher rate than in states where short-term loans are available, according to a Federal Reserve staff study. These consumers find fewer alternative financial options and resort to costlier, unregulated options for short-term credit, according to reports from the U.S. Department of the Treasury in concert with The Urban Institute.
Meanwhile, regulators in states such as Montana, Oregon and Washington — which have all implemented restrictions on small-dollar lending — have reported consequences such as consumers seeking credit from online lenders and filing related complaints.
The risk to consumers from illegal, unlicensed lenders is of grave concern, and we have long advocated for a simple fix to this national problem: a national registry of state-licensed and regulated lenders. This basic solution was specified in Dodd-Frank yet it has not been a CFPB priority. Such a registry would help protect borrowers from the cash-grab scams that pose as legitimate lenders online. The bureau should be focused on stopping these worst offenders, rather than attempting to use the bad acts of illegal lenders to justify its war on law-abiding, state-licensed businesses.
Director Cordray's testimony told us that nothing has changed the bureau's predetermined mindset. Even though nine out of 10 comment letters on the bureau's proposed rule criticize it, Director Cordray testified that "[W]e've gotten, as I said, many, many comments on both sides of that issue." That is a disingenuous statement that suggests the number of comments for and against the rule are even.
Until the bureau gets serious about tackling the issue of illegal lending and recognizes that many consumers demonstrate a desire and need for small-dollar loans, the misguided opinions of unelected regulators will take precedent over the views of millions of hardworking Americans around the country.

CBS's Defective Defector
On June 4, CBS's 60 Minutes broadcast a seemingly headline-making report about an Iranian defector who, the show said, claims to have been "the czar of Iranian state-sponsored terrorism for more than a decade"--and who says "it was Iran, not Libya, that planned and directed the blowing up of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland." Correspondent Lesley Stahl reported that the defector also "told us he has evidence that Iran carried out the blowing up of Khobar Towers, the U.S. military housing complex in Saudi Arabia in which 19 American GIs were killed."
A week later, CBS's story was discredited in a Washington Post piece headlined "Iranian Defector Claiming Terrorist Links Is Called an Impostor." The Post's Vernon Loeb wrote that, after debriefing the defector, "counterterrorist experts from the CIA and the FBI have concluded that he is not Ahmad Behbahani"--the man he claimed to be. Loeb quoted a "senior U.S. official" as saying the defector "has been lying about lots of stuff." The unnamed official also said: "He knows a few things. ... But when it comes to serious stuff he should know, he comes up empty." Loeb's story got big play on the Drudge Report and was picked up by the Associated Press and the New York Times.
So much for the CBS's big scoop, right? That's the way it appeared. But if you tuned in to the CBS Evening News last Monday, you heard Dan Rather issue this "update":
After several debriefings of the defector, the CIA and the FBI have now concluded that while he probably did work for Iranian intelligence, he was not as high up in the chain of command as he claimed.
If the guy was an impostor, that seemed like a pretty pathetic correction. Kausfiles called 60 Minutes spokesman Kevin Tedesco and discovered that the network is indeed clinging to its scoop. "The jury is still out on this," Tedesco told me. But, I point out, the Post reported that the FBI and CIA think the defector isn't who he says he is, not just that he wasn't "as high up" in the chain of command. That's not what the government tells CBS, Tedesco claimed. "They've got their sources; we've got ours." I called Loeb, who stood by his story: "I don't believe senior U.S. officials believe the jury is still out."
Why, I wondered, didn't those officials just put CBS out of its misery by calling a press conference and declaring the defector a phony? I called around and soon found myself talking on background to a "U.S. official" who seemed reasonably well informed. He had a slew of anti-CBS sound bites, saying of the defector's debriefing that "if he were a contestant on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, he would have muffed the $100 question." The defector "didn't have the position he represented himself as having" and "didn't have the access he says he had."
This "U.S. official" even said, of Lockerbie and Khobar, that the defector "didn't have credible information that would point to Iranian involvement in those terrorist incidents." And the official called CBS "reckless and irresponsible." But note that this official did not say that the man was an impostor and not Ahmad Behbahani. And he showed no inclination to call a press conference to denounce the defector. Apparently that's just not done in the defector biz.
This doesn't mean Loeb wasn't right--he talked to a "senior U.S. official" and I talked to a mere "U.S. official." Loeb undoubtedly has better intelligence sources than kausfiles. And CBS's correction is still pretty pathetic--if the man wasn't "as high up in the chain of command as he claimed," doesn't that mean he wasn't the "czar of Iranian state-sponsored terrorism, for more than a decade," which was half of the first sentence in Lesley Stahl's report? And doesn't that lie call into question everything else the defector said, and that CBS broadcast, about Lockerbie, et al.?
CBS can always claim that the Clinton administration just doesn't want to admit Iran's complicity in the bombings because that would complicate a hoped-for rapprochement with Iran (as well as disrupt the trial of two Libyans in the Lockerbie case). CBS's Tedesco contends the story is "politically charged," and "it all should be looked at through a political prism." But Loeb doesn't buy that explanation. The CIA is "sufficiently spun-up about terrorism that they would call a spade a spade on this guy's story. If he was who he was claiming to be, they would say so." To not do that, because of diplomatic or political pressure, "would be one of the great intelligence scandals of our age." Loeb notes that CIA chief George Tenet recently went out of his way to publicly finger Iran as a major sponsor of terrorism, something he presumably wouldn't do if his agency was toeing some administration line on rapprochement.
Beats me what the ultimate truth is here, though I wouldn't bet a lot of money on CBS. What's clear is that 60 Minutes applied a nontraditional journalistic standard to this story. "We have every reason to believe," Tedesco told the Post, "that what [the defector's] saying could be true." Emphasis on "could." If it could be true, go with it! Print all possible truths, even minimally credible allegations--assuming they're non-libelous--and the actual truth will win out!
That's a defensible standard. (If you came to me with the defector's story, and I couldn't confirm it, would I print it? You bet--though I wouldn't give it the ridiculous prominence CBS did.) It's also a familiar standard, even though it's nontraditional. Recognize it? It's the standard of the Internet. Only now it's also the standard of CBS News.

Betting is always about predicting a future event that hasn't happened yet. There would be nothing to bet for if the outcome was already known. But one of the forms od betting is called "future bets". What does it mean?
A future bet is made 7 to 8 months before the game takes place. It doesn't happen often and it mostly applies only to predicting who's going to win in a sports league or other major sports event.
Future bets always come with a money line, which is the amount the player is going to win if they bet $100. Money lines are different in different sports. For example if the money line is +400, you risk $100 to win $400. For smaller bets it gets adjusted. If the bet applies to multiple games for a whole season, there will be multiple money lines.
As rare as future bets are, they're also hugely popular, especially when it comes to the NFL Super Bowl and the World Cup.
The players observe all the events that can affect the game in a few months, but everything can change after the bet is made. Anything from injuries to coaching changes will affect the outcome. Therefore there are no strategies for making future bets. The only thing you can make sure of is how good the team you bet on is in general. You can also take a risk and possibly win a huge amount of money by picking the underdog – the team no one expects to win.

Well, the Screen Actors Guild and the Golden Globes announced their nominations this week and shocked us with noms for both Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler and Jennifer Aniston in Cake, throwing the race a fantastic curve ball as we start to enter the nitty gritty of awards season. Veteran actor Robert Duvall also hit both precursors (for The Judge) and is now a formidable opponent in Best Supporting Actor.
On this podcast, Gold Rush Gang member Peter and myself welcome Awards Circuit founder and editor Clayton Davis as a guest for the first time. He has a lot of insight on the race, how things might play out at the BFCA (of which he's a member) and the three of us discuss how the above-mentioned three will change the game.
We get into the rise of The Grand Budapest Hotel and the likely Oscar coming out party for Wes Anderson, original screenplay gets a lot of talk as does Selma and the Golden Globe snubs of Unbroken and American Sniper.

In this juicy edition of the AwardsWatch Oscar Podcast, Richard and I dive deep into the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards (tomorrow!) and our nomination predictions for the Screen Actors Guild and the Golden Globes happening next week.
At LAFCA we talk about the potential battle for Best Actress between Julianne Moore in Still Alice (and possibly Maps to the Stars) and recent NYFCC winner Marion Cotillard for Two Days, One Night (and possibly The Immigrant). Mr. Turner, Timothy Spall (also the recent NYFCC winner) and Mike Leigh come up as heavy favorites and I push Scarlett Johansson in Under the Skin as a possible alternate in Best Actress.
With SAG there is a lot of agreement between Richard and myself as well as with the Gold Rush Gang. Selma seems to be the question mark since Paramount didn't get screeners to voters due to the film being locked too late. How much will that affect the film's chances in Cast and Best Actor?
Over at the Golden Globes there is a lot of agreement in many categories but with Angelina Jolie's Unbroken a bit up in the air. Many of the GRG have Jolie in Best Director but I wonder if those predictions aren't as updated as they could (or should be). I have her in, and the film everywhere, in spite of the very mixed reception its gotten since its premiere. But this is the HPFA and they're going to want their star wattage.
All that and more on this podcast.

In this podcast Richard, Matt L. and I discuss the Film Independent Spirit nominations from this week; who got snubbed (The Imitation Game!) and who made a big play in the race (Selma!). We break down the categories to find a 30th Spirits Awards with a bit of a throwback to its early days to truly indie picks like Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter. We talk about the hows and whys of Harvey Weinstein's failure to secure a single nomination for The Imitation Game and will it be a bellwether for the season to come. And what happened in the Best Screenplay category?
Then we dig into the two critics groups announcing next week; the New York Film Critics Circle on Monday the 1st and the National Board of Review on Tuesday the 2nd. Lots of Boyhood predictions, which is to be expected from the best rated film of the year. Also across the board predictions for Michael Keaton (Birdman) for Best Actor, Julianne Moore (Still Alice) for Best Actress, J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) for Best Supporting Actor but a split in Best Supporting Actress that finds a battle between Jessica Chastain for A Most Violent Year and Patricia Arquette in Boyhood but with a fun prediction from Matt L. You'll just have to listen to the podcast to find out who.

Big happenings with some major premieres of Oscar hopefuls at AFI this last week in the form of Selma, American Sniper and A Most Violent Year give the Gold Rush Gang (Richard, Jason and myself, Erik) a lot to talk about in this podcast. We discuss the mixed test screening (attended by a trio of AwardsWatchers) that led to some frantic predictions changes to a complete reversal after its stellar debut at AFI. American Sniper didn't fare as well and might be out the majors as a result and A Most Violent Year gets the reviews it needed to stay in the race.
We also discuss various tech predictions like Cinematography, Film Editing, Visual Effects and the Sound Categories. Is once frontrunner Interstellar out of the running here? Will a Best Picture frontrunner find itself with a few extra tech noms to pad its total? Can Roger Deakins finally win?
We end with some Independent Spirit Awards talk and predictions. Those are announced on Tuesday the 25th (not the 24th as I keep mentioning in the podcast) and we'll have a follow-up podcast post-nominations and before the wealth of critics awards start rolling in during the first week of December.

In this new Oscar podcast, Erik, Kenneth, Matt M and Peter discuss where Selma and Unbroken are in the race. Have they fallen? Are they steady? With a handful of AwardsWatch members having just seen the first and only Selma screening, there's lots to tell and lots to talk about.
We also take a crack at the juicy Best Actor category, overflowing with potential contenders with Michael Keaton in Birdman, Eddie Redmayne in The Theory of Everything, Jack O'Connell in Unbroken and Sony Pictures Classics' dilemma of too many players. Of course, we also talk about Best Actress and just how locked Julianne Moore is for Still Alice.
Later we talk about the resurgence of Into the Woods and its Best Picture chances and ponder some of the documentary and foreign language film contenders.

Oscar Podcast #15: Venice, Telluride and TIFF festivals; Birdman, A Most Violent Year, Wild, The Imitation Game
In this podcast, Peter and Jason (Dirk Diggler!) join Erik to discuss the flurry of fall festivals, including the just opened Venice Film Festival which began with rapturous reviews for Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman. We also venture into Telluride and TIFF (which Jason is attending), discuss Harvey Weinstein's track for The Imitation Game and the recent first test screening (attended by AwardWatch members) of A Most Violent Year starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain. That breaks into a discussion of Supporting Actress which covers Chastain, Patricia Arquette, Laura Dern, Keira Knightley and Carmen Ejogo (which itself breaks off into a conversation about Selma). And all in under an hour and a half! Bonus!

In this podcast Chris, Peter and Erik discuss the Emmy Drama categories in full (Series, Writing, Directing, Lead, Supporting and Guest Performances) as well as Miniseries and the Writing and Lead categories within the TV Movie/Miniseries section.
With so many categories up for grabs and a finite amount of nominations (or are there?) someone will be snubbed. Will former Best Drama Series winners Mad Men and Homeland lose their hold on nominations in favor of newbies True Detective and Masters of Sex? What about The Good Wife? Have they really blundered their campaign to return to a Drama Series nomination?
The Lead Actress in a Drama Series seems to be the category giving us (and most Emmy predictors) the most grief. With last year giving us seven nominees, will we see that again? Or will it be six with someone left off the list? We talk about Tatiana Maslany's chances, who's on the outs and was Scandal's Kerry Washington a one-and-done nomination.
