"Bella?" came the angelic voice from the door of our room in Alaska. We were living with the Cullen's, but far away from Tanya and her coven because she seemed to be trying to murder me last time I went there, much to Edward's anger. They didn't know where we lived anyway.
"Yes Edward?"
"They've decided to have a game night." He said, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"I could just use one of my powers, you know, to make them forget-"
"Bella Marie Mason-Cullen! How dare you even think of that! YOU WILL NOT MAKE US FORGET WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A GAME NIGHT!" Alice screamed at me.
I had forgotten to keep my shields up; she'd seen that vision. Basically, I had the power of minds. I could read them, control them, make them forget memories and block other's powers. Definitely handy.
"Okay, I won't." I said, lowering my shields again, so she could see I was being truthful.
"BELLA! EDWARD! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVEN'T COME DOWN!" Emmet screamed, even though he was in our room now. He picked us up, though Edward and me struggled, but no one could get free of his strong grip, and carried us down to the living room.
My Adonis and me sat down at one of the loveseats and I relaxed as he put his arms around me.
"So, 10 fingers first?" Alice asked.
"YES!" Emmet squealed, jumping up and down, clapping his hands, like a girl. Rosalie smacked him on the arm.
"What, I'm excited."
"He's such a child." Rosalie sighed.
"It's why you love me." Emmet told her, wrapping her in his arms, and kissing her. Before something happened, that I really didn't want to see:
"So, the game." I said quickly.
"Does everyone know the rules of 10 fingers?" Emmet asked. "Well, if you don't, this is how you play. Everyone starts off, with all their fingers out. Okay, say I was it. I say something I've never done, and then if any of you have, you put down a finger. Everyone takes turns at being it. When all your fingers are gone, you're out. The person who's remaining at the end wins. What do you want their prize to be?"
Alice looked into the future, "Deciding the next game, thanks for the suggestion Edward."
"I didn't-"
"You did, in the future-"
"I'm going first!" Emmet said. He thought for a while.
"Come on, there must be something you haven't done!" Jasper said.
"Okay, I have never left one of our houses before super-gluing everything like the doors or cupboards together."
Jasper and Edward glared at Emmet. Me and the other girls laughed. "Do you realise that me and Jasper are ALWAYS the ones who have to fix that, and it was YOU?!" they shouted at the exact same time.
"Children, mind the noise," Esme said, popping her head through the door. She was about to pop out again, when Alice said, "He's the one who always super-glued everything together!"
"What?" Esme growled. She grabbed a broom and started to chase Emmet around the room. It was really funny, watching Esme who was half the size of Emmet, chasing him with a broom, and Emmet with a terrified looking expression on his face. All of us were laughing so hard we were falling off the floor.
"Esme!" Carlisle called.
"I'll speak with you later." Esme hissed at Emmet as she walked out the door.
"So, 9 fingers left everyone?" Emmet asked triumphantly.
"My turn." Edward said, grinning evilly, looking at Emmet, before letting out an evil laugh.
Alice glared at Emmet. "Go Edward."
"I have never, and do not now," he said, continuing to look at Emmet, " have-"
"Please! Don't! I beg you!" Emmet said, down on his hands and knees.
OH NO! Why? Lord, why? I've been good . . . sort of . . .
Rose is going to kill me. Alice is glaring. Bella's reading her mind. Now she's glaring. Uh oh. I'm so busted! Edward is still looking at me with that evil expression.
He he. This is funny. "As I was saying, I have never, and do not now have any porn magazines with scribbles on them, giving them marks out of ten, and comparing them with Rose, Alice and," growl, "Bella."
Oh crap. I was hoping he wouldn't mention the mark part. I think she'll kill me. She looks like she'd kill someone. So does Alice. And Bella. "Rose, I love you-"
"Not going to work." She hissed.
"You're sick." She answered.
"Shut up." She said, in a low menacing voice. Geese, who knew someone like Bella could be scary.
"Girls, lets go get them." Rose said.
None of the girls were happy at Emmet, but we decided to just continue our game night, as it was before. It was Jasper's turn now, and he seemed to be thinking hard. "Okay . . . I have never broken in to the Gossip Girl set."
All the girls squealed. "EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!! WE HAVE TO DO THAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! MAYBE WE CAN GET THEIR AUTOGRAPHS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!" came from the girls.
"You broke in to get their autographs?" I asked.
"Well, DUH!"
So far, the girls had 8, me and Jasper 9, and Emmet 7. Doing maths, I realised, "Emmet, you broke into Gossip Girl. When?" I laughed.
"It's a great show," he said in his defence."
"Can I go again?" Emmet asked.
"Fine." I sighed.
"Okay," he said with an evil expression on his face, looking at the girls. They were whispering to each other.
"You wouldn't." they all gasped.
"Watch. I have never kissed the entire male cast of Gossip Girl so I could get their autograph." I looked, and wasn't surprised to see Rose with a guilty expression. Alice had one, but I suppose Alice is Alice. I WAS surprised when I saw Bella, looking VERY guilty.

Perfect Attendance No Longer
In my season and a third tenure with the Oakland Athletics, I take great pride in the fact that I haven't missed a single game. My perfect attendance stands at 108 possible games, 108 worked. In many ways, this should be seen as a pretty minor feat. After all, I do get paid to watch baseball!
I hate to ruin this perfect attendance, but will be out of town for the upcoming 3-game homestand versus the Minnesota Twins (June 4-5-6). I'm sad to be away from the ballpark for so long, but wouldn't miss a game unless it was really worth it. In this case, my 10-year college reunion is a very special, not-to-be-missed event.
I'll be back at the Coliseum on Monday, June 7 vs. the Angels and look forward to catching up with everyone then. In the meantime, stay in touch!

Even great feats of co0nsecutive games has to come to an end.
You wonder if Cal Ripken Junior went into the Baltimore Oriole's Managers office and just said he was tired on the day he ended his streak.
The good thing is that when you return, you can re-establish a new attendance record and celebrate when you hit 109 games.
It is okay to miss one, but it is a great thrill when you return and see what you missed out on….even if it was 1-3 games.
Go get them during your second run at setting a new personal attendance record.

Just think how much sick-leave you have accrued 🙂

Magnesium Can Help Treat the Flu, Boost Your Energy, Improve Sleep;
Get More of This Essential Mineral in Your Diet and by Soaking in Epsom Salt
Jan. 2, 2013 – There's a nutrient that experts say helps your body produce its main source of energy and impacts at least 300 enzyme systems. It can also help treat the flu by regulating your temperature, helping you sleep, relaxing your muscles and giving you more energy.
It's magnesium. And compared to a century ago, the amount we consume in our diets has dropped by about 60 percent.
That's according to Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D. N.D., one of the nation's top natural physicians and a member of the nonprofit Nutritional Magnesium Association's medical advisory board. Known as "The Doctor of the Future" because she focuses on preventing problems rather than using medicine to fix them, Dean has written or coauthored over 30 books and she's frequently interviewed by the news media.
"Doctors are not taught enough about magnesium, and the best magnesium blood test is done in only about 3 percent of the nation's laboratories," Dean said. "All the current medical research is driven by drug companies. You don't have 'mineral reps.' going to doctors, so we're ignoring an unpatented, well-proven solution."
Dean said 100 years ago, people consumed an average of 500 mg of magnesium daily, but that number has dropped to about 200 mg because the magnesium in soil has been depleted over time and it's not a component of most fertilizers. A lack of magnesium can contribute to dozens of health issues, Dean said, including heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, anxiety, fatigue, muscle cramping and inflammation.
To increase your body's magnesium levels, Dean recommends:
- Eating more dark greens, such as kale and collard greens, as well as nuts, pumpkin or sunflower seeds and seaweed.
- Soaking in Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) because magnesium is well absorbed through the skin. Dr. Dean said people can soak daily using 1 to 2 cups of Epsom salt per bath, but they can use more if they are working on especially tight muscles or a muscular injury.
- Asking your medical doctor or naturopathic doctor if you should take oral magnesium supplements.
Magnesium is especially helpful this time of year, Dean said, when the cold weather and the holidays can heighten stress levels and people crowding together can spread germs.
"Magnesium is the anti-stress mineral," Dean said. "It helps you sleep, relaxes your muscles, improves your digestion, balances your blood pressure and gives you more energy. And Epsom salt is a safe and easy way for people of all ages – including babies and pregnant women – to increase the body's magnesium levels."
Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D. N.D.
Dr. Carolyn Dean is not only a medical doctor, but also a naturopath, herbalist, acupuncturist, nutritionist, lecturer, consultant and author. Dr. Dean has been in the forefront of health issues for over 30 years. She has authored or coauthored over thirty books, including The Magnesium Miracle,How To Change Your Life With Magnesium, Future Health Now! Encyclopedia, Death by Modern Medicine: Seeking Safe Solutions, The Yeast Connection and Women's Health, IBS for DUMMIES, IBS Cookbook for DUMMIES and Hormone Balance.
About Epsom salt
Epsom salt – actually magnesium sulfate – is one of the most versatile household products, with uses ranging from creating at-home spa treatments to soothing aching muscles to helping start or improve gardens to nurturing your health. It's been used therapeutically for hundreds of years, and it's gaining a new generation of fans looking for a safe, economical alternative in a sea of expensive, over-the-counter remedies. Epsom salt is easy to use, easy to find in your local pharmacy or grocery store and it costs about the same per use as a cup of coffee.

UPDATE 1: LinuxDC++ 1.1.0 has been released. This guide is only if you want to compile the latest LinuxDC++ from Bazaar, which may or may not be as stable as 1.1.0. You can find it in our: LinuxDC++ Release PPA
UPDATE 2: You can install debian binaries of our latest unreleased code from our Launchpad PPA.
First off, for those that don't know, LinuxDC++ is a Linux port of the file-sharing program DC++. It uses the DC++ core but with a GTK+ GUI. It has also been called by many other names including: linuxdcpp, ldcpp, dcpp, ldc++, dc++ for linux, wulfor. I'm a developer on LinuxDC++ and thought I'd write up a guide to install LinuxDC++ on Ubuntu.
First, download the required dependencies:
To do this in one command:
There are no official releases of the program since it's still in alpha. This means that there exists no official binaries for any distribution. However, to install LinuxDC++ you can download it through bazaar. Run these commands in your home directory or somewhere else where you have write access:Code:sudo apt-get install bzr scons build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libssl-dev libboost-dev
Now to install (you can set PREFIX to whatever, but I'd recommend /usr/local):Code:bzr branch lp:linuxdcpp
To run:Code:cd linuxdcpp scons release=1 PREFIX=/usr/local sudo scons install
Note: Turn off Assistive Technologies before running LinuxDC++ (System->Preferences->Assistive Technologies). For some reason, it makes linuxdcpp run very slowly and display a bunch of errors.Code:linuxdcpp
When we update the source, you can update your linuxdcpp source and re-run the scons & scons install commands from above to install it again. To update the source:
To uninstall LinuxDC++:Code:cd /path/to/source/dir bzr update
Then you can delete your source directory if you like.Code:cd /path/to/source/dir sudo scons -c install
Some links:
- LinuxDC++: official homepage
- PPA: Debian packages of our latest unreleased code
- LinuxDC++ Wiki: You can find our FAQ and our manual here.
- DC++: original windows DC++ program that LinuxDC++ is based on.
- #email@example.com: Visit our IRC channel if you have any questions. I'm usually there under the nick "_steven_"; if I'm not, just ask in the channel and somebody should hopefully respond.

NEW YORK — John Oliver will have the crab cakes — but that's all, thanks.
In a private dining room at HBO's plush headquarters overlooking Bryant Park in midtown Manhattan, a waitress in a crisp black uniform asks the 37-year-old comedian if he'd like anything else — perhaps some soup or salad?
He declines with a polite insistence that suggests he's not quite used to all the luxurious trappings. Then, as soon as the waitress leaves the room, he launches into a riff about possibly sinister deeds going on behind the scenes at HBO.
"I don't know what happens here," he says, "This is, like, unsettlingly nice. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a front for a meth operation. There are these beautifully padded walls and you think, 'Oh, these seem soundproofed.' But that's never good when something seems unexpectedly soundproofed."
Oliver should probably get used to his cushy new home. After more than seven years as a correspondent on "The Daily Show," the Cambridge graduate is stepping into the spotlight with his own topical humor show, "Last Week Tonight," premiering Sunday on the premium cable network. In a sign of his ascension to the top of the comedy ranks, Oliver will command a prime piece of real estate on HBO's marquee night.
Less than a year ago, Oliver was eagerly downplaying expectations as he prepared to step in for "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart, who was about to take an extended hiatus to direct his first feature film. At the time, Oliver's stated goal was simply: "Don't have this building on fire when [Stewart] returns." But during Stewart's 12-week absence, the native of Birmingham, England, proved to be more than just a diligent housesitter.
He received rave reviews out of the gate and was performing so well by the end of his first week in the desk that guest Fareed Zakaria suggested he was staging a "brilliant, slow-motion coup." Ratings for the long-running satirical program, which typically ebb during the summer, held steady. By August, observers had declared Oliver the heir apparent to "The Daily Show." Instead, he landed at HBO in a deal announced in November.
The chronically self-effacing Oliver is reluctant to take credit for his successful stint, arguing the show is as strong as it is only because of Stewart's steady leadership. He's also the first to acknowledge he was buoyed by an unusually brisk summer news cycle. One of the year's biggest stories, the NSA surveillance scandal, broke his very first day on the air, and was followed by a steady stream of big headlines: the birth of the royal baby, Paula Deen's N-word controversy, Supreme Court rulings on voting rights and gay marriage and, of course, the discovery of former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner's online alias — Carlos Danger.
As a host, Oliver stayed true to the tone established by Stewart while infusing the show with a boisterous, slightly goofy energy all his own. Like a true pro, Oliver even pulled off an interview with Aaron Sorkin conducted nearly in the dark after an unprecedented power outage at "The Daily Show" studio.
"I think we all felt very, very strongly that the only person who could do that job would be Oliver," says Tim Carvell, former head writer at "The Daily Show" and now an executive producer on "Last Week Tonight." "The only person who didn't know it was Oliver himself."
Though he likes to joke that, as an Englishman, he's "not in touch with 95% of my feelings at any given moment," in truth Oliver comes across as a bit of a softy. As he puts it, he cried "like a little girl" during his last "Daily Show" appearance, and his wickedly sharp humor seems to derive from genuine concern rather than condescension.
"He fully recognizes how awful and bizarre the news is," Carvell says, "but he covers it with this weird sort of glee. There's not a cynicism or sourness to him."
Oliver, who for years had played the role of "Senior British Correspondent," also discovered that he loved hosting. "After that first week," Oliver recalls, "some guy came up to me in the street and said, 'I've never seen you smile before.' And I realized he's probably right."
The industry was also taking notice. Throughout the summer, Oliver lived in a self-imposed bubble, declining to take calls about possible post-"Daily Show" opportunities in order to focus on the task at hand. Just after Stewart's return in September, Oliver spent two weeks in Afghanistan on a USO tour, well out of the reach of even the most aggressive network executive, and came home to find "a slightly bewildering amount of messages" on his phone.
By his own account, Oliver agonized over the decision to leave "The Daily Show," where he made his debut the very day after he landed in New York in 2006. "Every part of me wanted to stay at 'The Daily Show.' I wasn't really ready to go, but I don't think I was ever going to be. I needed to be given an offer it was just insane to say no to."
That offer eventually came from HBO, though Oliver was courted by other networks, including CBS, which met with him to discuss taking over "The Late Late Show" should Craig Ferguson depart, as well as other possibilities. HBO, home to "Real Time With Bill Maher" since 2003, had no plans to produce another politically oriented comedy show, but programming president Michael Lombardo was impressed by Oliver's performance.
"Jon Stewart is pretty damn good at what he does. I mean this with no disrespect to him," Lombardo says, "but by the end of that first week, that show was totally John Oliver's."
When Lombardo learned Oliver was finally taking calls, he and CEO Richard Plepler launched a charm offensive. "We knew that Oliver had a smart, funny, perceptive, provocative but ultimately very warm presence that we wanted on HBO."
With a show airing at 11 on Sunday nights, Oliver will not be directly competing with his friends at "The Daily Show" and is insistent that even if he were, it would be "a pretty mismatched prizefight." He also continues to turn to his mentor for advice.
"There is almost nothing I could ever do in the future I won't be able to trace back to something Jon taught me." Oliver says. "He is the Yoda."
But like Luke Skywalker, Oliver has risen to become a formidable competitor in his own right. Without him to replace Stephen Colbert, who takes over for David Letterman on "Late Show" next year, Comedy Central is left with a huge space to fill at 11:30. (The network declined to comment for this article.)
HBO's promos for "Last Week Tonight" have made light of its relative untimeliness (tag line: "Breaking News, on a weekly basis"), but Oliver thinks the slower production pace will help the show distinguish itself. With the luxury of a week to put packages together, he hopes to go in-depth on stories overlooked by the U.S. media, such as the general election currently underway in India.
"I don't think people are going to come in and say, 'Oh, ["The Tonight Show" host Jimmy] Fallon did this whole monologue on the Indian election.' I think we're all right," he says.
Just three weeks before its debut, the show, which will tape Sunday evenings a few hours before its 11 p.m. broadcast, still existed mostly as a concept, with the exact structure still up in the air; even the set had yet to be completed.
HBO announced Thursday that Oliver's debut would include an exclusive interview with former NSA director Gen. Keith Alexander, an indication that "Last Week Tonight" will also avoid the usual movie-star suspects in favor of legitimate newsmakers.
Known for its hands-off approach to development, HBO has given Oliver, Carvell and their staff of eight writers broad latitude to create the show they want, rather than pushing them to conform to the well-worn late-night format.
"They've given us feedback, but it's been so not the standard TV network advice. Their advice is all in the direction of don't feel obligated to do the most commercial thing," says Carvell who, like Oliver, found HBO almost disturbingly accommodating. (His theory? The network is secretly running an organ-harvesting operation.)
While leaving "The Daily Show" may not have been easy for Oliver, "Last Week Tonight" brings him to the same network as one of his comedy idols, "Veep" creator Armando Iannucci. He's also a fan of "The Wire," "Eastbound & Down," and recently got hooked on "Game of Thrones," but curbed his binge after six episodes.
"It's a pretty spectacular pedigree of shows here," he says. "Let's see if we can devalue that real estate."
'Last Week Tonight With John Oliver'

Topic: Text breach on VRO
Posted: 10/June/2012 at 00:26
My husband (Respondent) texted me 2 hours after his interim VRO was served on him. I reported this to police the next day (11th May)
The police seem to be taking time to charge him, they didn't arrest him in the first instance but went to his work to ask him about it.
Then after that, they received information from Optus to prove it was indeed his number then came to see me and took pics of the text.
Husband refused to give police his address when they were at his work and they didn't want to arrest him/charge him at work so they phoned him and arranged a date (3 weeks later) for him to go in voluntarily to talk about it and the officer told me on that day that he would be charged when he went it.
He went in and now he's pulling a line saying I had rigged my phone to show a time later than when he texted and that when he texted he hadn't yet been served the VRO. Police officer told me he was very cocky about it.
Police will now have to get Optus records to prove he texted when he wasn't allowed to.
I hope when the police get the info from Optus and charge him he will be done with wasting police time too.
What is the charge likely to be with this?

Who knows, but I guess he's packing it, and if the net effect is that from now on he leaves you alone, it will be a good outcome for you.
Could I suggest that you put this behind you, because if you end up pushing his buttons it may well end up being you who suffers from all this. Forget about him and just get on with your life.

The charge would be "Breach Interim Order" or the applicable wording in your state.
The records from Optus will prove that his phone texted you, it won't prove he did it.

There isnt a way in this world to prove that he actually sent the text, however if the police pull evidence from optus confirming it was his number and the correct time he wont be getting out of it, wont matter if he says "his friends had his phone" or anything similar

He admitted sending the text when interviewed but then lied and said that he sent it before he was served.
MartinO you are dead right and I should move on and up and forget about him, I just want him to be accountable for his actions. Easy to say move on but it's a long road!
Very handy to have this forum just to ask questions and get some advice.
I need to stop giving him head space and leave the police to it rather than starting my own personal vendetta!

McCoy Tyner
Other than a few short spots, Stanley Turrentine is the only significant soloist on this CD reissue which features a diverse program including "When the Sun Comes Out," "Maybe September," "You're Gonna Hear from Me" and a previously unreleased rendition of Max Roach's jazz waltz "Lonesome Lover." Although he is accompanied by an all-star group that includes trumpeter Blue Mitchell, altoist James Spaulding, baritonist Pepper Adams and pianist McCoy Tyner, Turrentine's sidemen could almost have been anonymous studio players for the tenor is the dominant voice throughout. It is surprising that Pearson did not make more extensive use of the other musicians' unique talents, particularly Tyner. However, despite some potentially indifferent material, Turrentine is in fine form throughout the date, even finding something to say on "Sunny." "La Fiesta" (no relation to the later Chick Corea tune) is the highpoint of a largely enjoyable set. ~ Scott Yanow

There are numerous factors in improving a credit union's performance today: adding to the membership base, increasing products and services per household, improving productivity by adding new technology, and many more. The challenge for a credit union executive is to minimize the many barriers faced on a daily basis to get the best ideas implemented and embraced within the organization.
I recently surveyed a couple dozen credit union executives to use a diagnostic tool that assesses the strengths and barriers of their organizations to implement their strategies. Bridges Consulting Group developed the tool to identify critical success factors for implementing an organization's strategy. The tool reflects 52 reasons why implementations fail. The purpose of their participation was to see what executives agreed were the top factors, or barriers, to implementing strategy within their respective credit unions.
Listed below are the top four barriers they selected, providing tips to eliminate them so your credit union's strategy will be easier to implement.
Lack of inspiration and motivation from senior management. Simply put, senior management has to demonstrate they are passionate about the business and encourage others to feel that same kind of passion. They have to connect with their employees in other ways, too. Listening to their employees, including them in the decisions they make, demonstrating integrity and giving people what they want within the executive's capability. If not money, then verbal recognition or some other demonstration of appreciation for good work.
No clear communication. Communication is about the creation of meaning and understanding, not simply moving information around. Senior managers need to discuss regularly with employees about the credit union's purpose, goals, projects, differentiation, members, competitors and how their departments and the employee's personal efforts contribute to the organization. It's about clarity. It's about inspecting what you expect. Repetition is a good thing–even if the executives themselves may be bored with the subject matter. Former General Electric chief and author Jack Welch said that it took him six years of constantly telling his employees you are first or second in your business or you are out before they really understood and believed it.
Inconsistency among management about what to do and how to do it. Standards are essential for any company that seeks to improve. Credit unions are no different. Continuous improvement methods are based on a repeatable process, and employees leverage their learning from participating in the process. A stable process is a framework for collecting, and evaluating, performance. Once you are collecting performance information on the process, you have a platform to develop improvement opportunities.
Lacking standards.Lacking the organizational discipline to ensure everyone complies with the work standards you have really slows down your credit union. No one can afford to slow down. So be sure to review what standards your credit union has in place and ask yourself this question: Is your organization disciplined enough to comply with those standards and use the lessons to improve those standard processes?
One other big benefit to standardizing the process is that it reduces inconsistency among management about what to do and how to do it, reducing stress and wasted effort among management's employees.
We already have too much to do, and not enough time to do it. According to a recent Accenture study, the average middle manager is swamped by useless information and spends about two hours a day looking for the data he or she needs. Once the information is found, Accenture reports that half the information has no value to their jobs. Companies tend to have silos of information, each department having its own system for organizing data, structured or unstructured. This information is not shared or access is difficult by other people outside the silo who could benefit from it. At least annually, managers should conduct a communication audit of meetings and reports and eliminate certain meetings and reports that are not useful. Develop and implement standard systems for organizing data, ensuring that access to information throughout your credit union encourages organizational transparency.
An amazing insight when reflecting these barriers to strategy execution is that overcoming these issues doesn't really cost anything. It is a matter of changing the behaviors and culture of the organization. Executives need to be more inspirational, clearer on communication, develop more standardize work processes, and remove waste from reporting and meetings.
Even though these changes are free, the results are priceless.

Author Notes: Ok, so maybe nutmeg and chocolate is boring to others, but it was new to me. Particularly nutmeg and milk chocolate. I don't normally go for milk chocolate, but this tart managed to change my opinion. It was delicious enough that I'm just going to share it, whether or not nutmeg and chocolate is a snooze fest! The idea comes from reading the Flavor Thesaurus by Niki Segnit, which is currently one of my favorite books. The tart crust is based off of Kate Zuckerman's hazelnut crust in The Sweet Life. —fiveandspice
Food52 Review: Silky milk chocolate slowly melted with heavy cream and spiced with plenty of nutmeg makes for a rich and decadent tart. Allow at least a day to make this dessert since there's a lot of wait time with making the crust, freezing it, baking it, and letting it set in the fridge. If you have trouble rolling out the hazelnut crust you can always press it in pieces into the pan. —broccolirose
Makes: one 9-inch tart
Milk chocolate nutmeg tart
pre-baked hazelnut tart crust (see below)
1 1/4
cups heavy cream
teaspoon (about) freshly ground nutmeg
ounces really good quality milk chocolate, at least 30% cacao solids
tablespoons butter
Barely sweetened whipped cream, for serving
Hazelnut tart crust
2 1/2
ounces hazelnuts
cup plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
pinch each, salt and baking powder
tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
cup sugar
large egg yolk, at room temperature
Milk chocolate nutmeg tart
- Finely chop your chocolate, and cut your butter into several smaller pieces.
- In a saucepan, bring the cream and 1/4 teaspoon of the ground nutmeg just to a boil around the edges. Remove it from the heat and immediately dump in the chocolate and the butter. Let it sit undisturbed for a minute. Then gently, starting from the center of the pot and stirring in small circles, begin to stir the melted chocolate into the cream. Stir in progressively larger circles (but still gently because you don't want extra air to get in there and ruin the silky consistency), until it is completely mixed and is a uniform color.
- Set aside and allow to cool for just a bit, around 10 minutes, then taste and add up to another 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg to get a nice spicy flavor in the chocolate. Next, pour the chocolate mixture into the pre-baked tart crust. Set it in the fridge and let it chill for a couple of hours before serving.
- Serve chilled in thin slices with soft pillows of whipped cream mounded on top.
Hazelnut tart crust
- In a food processor, grind the hazelnuts and the flour together until you have a pretty fine powder. Transfer this to a small bowl and whisk in the baking powder and salt.
- In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the butter at medium speed for a minute. Then, beat in the sugar on medium-high speed until the butter and sugar are light and fluffy and fully creamed together, about 6 minutes. Stop on occasion during this process to scrape down the sides.
- Beat in the egg yolk until fully incorporated, a couple minutes.
- Use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Then, mix it with the mixer on slow speed for a couple of minutes, until completely combined. Stop and scrape down the edges now and then to make sure everything gets mixed in. Gather the dough into a ball and pat it into a thick disc, then wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to 24.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the crust and carefully transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Press it into the tart pan, using your fingers to press together and fix any cracks (my dough cracked quite a bit, but it was really malleable and easy to press back together, making it quite nice to work with). Freeze the tart shell for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line the frozen tart shell with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill it with dry beans or pie weights. Put it in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Take it out of the oven, remove the weights and lining, then pop it back into the oven to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Transfer to a cooling rack, and allow to cool before filling with the chocolate filling.

So, I'm going to come right out and say it. Boy fashion rarely changes from year to year. I know! It upsets me, too! I have been dressing my little boy for five years, and some of the fashions that he was rocking as a tiny baby are some of the same looks that he will be seen in today. I have heard moms mope over the fact that dressing a little boy is not as fun as dressing a little girl, and while I have to agree (boys don't generally wear hair clips and dresses and skirts, which have the tendency to mix up a gal's wardrobe a bit), I also would like to put it "out there" that dressing your little boy does not have to be boring.
Checking out some of the current trends for boys, I am seeing a lot of the same things I saw last fall, which is good news for the pocketbook—provided he still fits into some of his older things. Fall still means dark colors like blacks, browns, navy, army green, and reds. But a lot of what I have seen sort of tends toward an "outdoorsy" kind of look, with layering built in to the outfit to accommodate any kind of weather.
In jackets, I have seen a bunch of military-inspired looks. Military jackets with lots of pockets are a great option for the cooler days of fall. I have also seen corduroy pilot jackets, which would look awesome with some aviator sunglasses leftover from summer. Down vests are also a great option for fall, because they not only add a layer of warmth, but can showcase some of the great top options that are out there.
In shirts, I have seen short sleeves layered over long sleeves. This look can be of the genuine variety… thermals and long sleeve tees under short sleeve tees or polos, or of the "faux" variety, with the longer sewn-in sleeve peeking out from under a shorter sleeve. I would recommend the real thing for when the weather gets really cold, and save the faux variety for these days when it's cooler in the morning and hotter in the afternoon. Hooded sweatshirts and cardigan sweaters are more great options for a layer that is easy to take off later in the day. If you're looking for some totally on-trend designs, look for plenty of monsters, rock and roll, skulls and outdoor themes, and look no further than BabyLegs for all of those! Use a pair of BabyLegs as arm warmers to create that longer sleeve under shorter sleeve look. Or wear a pair over the sleeves of a long sleeve t-shirt or thermal to add a touch of style. If the weather heats up or cools off, kids can take them off or put them on. Babylegs are the perfect accessory for fall outfits!
Looking to dress up his look a bit? One of my favorite looks is a button-up shirt left untucked and made polished with the addition of a tie. We add a pair of jeans, a wool pea coat, and clean sneakers to finish off the look.
In the realm of pants, he can't go wrong with corduroys, khakis, or dark rinse jeans in plain front, carpenter and cargo styles. Almost any color works for fall, including khaki, navy, black, and army green. Mix up the colors he wears on top and bottom, and tie them together with the addition of funky socks. You can pull an outfit together using his striped BabyLegs socks for inspiration!
Another really fun look that starts in fall and runs through winter is a hat. There are the outdoor, fleece variety that will be seen in the shapes of animals and dinosaurs, as well as the traditional knit hat in stripes and solids. He might want to even bring the outdoors in by wearing a knit hat with a brim, a newsboy cap in herringbone twill or velvet, or even a fedora! Underneath the cap, boys hairstyles are trending toward that Justin Beiber-ish tousled look, but longer, sloppier, and more surfer- or skater-cool.
For shoes, be on the lookout for casual silhouettes that include boat shoes, deck shoes, sneakers that look like hiking boots, and canvas slip-ons. Dressy styles are tending toward that same shiny, tie up look, as well as the shinier leather slip-ons. Boots are a big trend this year, and come in myriad styles. Sneakers are seen in skater styles, with bold stripes on the sides and in high top form. When wearing the high tops, the high part is being rolled down to expose the inside, or if the shoe has a long tongue, the tongue is pulled out to cover the laces.
Bottom line for fall: In kid's fashion, it is hard to go wrong. You can freely experiment with mixing colors and patterns and prints from head to toe. And if the finished look ends up a little crazy, you can always say that he put it together himself. Layer it on, and get out there to enjoy the cool, refreshing temperatures this fall!
About the blogger:
Hi everyone! My name is Jen, and I have a passion for fashion! I live in super-sunny/super-cloudy Ohio, and have a son AND a daughter, which creates the perfect storm for Babylegs addiction. I hope that you find the perfect pair of Babylegs to complement your little one's fashions this season, and that you FALL in love with Babylegs like we have.

Tech Rugby Rally Falls Short Against Brujos
SOCORRO, N.M. April 23, 3012 – It may have been a week too late for the New Mexico Tech men's rugby team to be challenging a men's club side. With many players passing on the club's last scheduled match versus the New Mexico Brujos in Albuquerque, the Pygmies arrived with just 11 of the required 15. Thus the surprise was not that Tech looked like goners for most of the 80 minutes, but that they came back to nearly win. The final 39-36 score was fitting reward to the hosts for loaning Tech the requisite players to allow the match to commence.
Against the run of early play, Tech scored first when the hosts were whistled for offside. Scrumhalf Enrique Koerdell foot-tapped the ball and several passes later Joe Stanley crashed over the line for a five-point try. Flyhalf Jordan Fastle kicked the extra two points but the students' lead was soon under attack. By the time referee Clint Richardson called for a water break after 20 minutes, the Brujos had scored a converted try and a 3-point drop kick to lead 10-7. They then added two more touchdowns to lead at the half 22-7.
The home team's lead had ballooned to 27-7 by the time Pygmy wing Alex Malone sneaked over the line to make it 27-14, after the kick by Fastle. David Campese then scored the match's masterpiece for the Brujos, fielding a brilliant chip kick and chase covering half the field, to put the home side up 32-14. Fastle replied for Tech with a try after one of fullback Isaiah Sanchez's blistering counterattacking runs but couldn't convert, and the teams went into the second half water break with the Brujos sitting atop a 32-19 lead.
Tech appeared dead in the water when the Brujos scored their sixth five-pointer to go up by 20 points with 15 minutes remaining. But the Pygmies, with a little help from their friends, came alive for one last college try (actually three, all touched down by loaned players) and 17 points during that time. Although the match ended with Tech threatening to actually take the lead, the Brujos were deserved winners by virtue of their show of sportsmanship toward the short-handed collegians.
Tech won just two of eight matches during the spring 2012 campaign, following an 8-9 season in autumn 2011. Following final exams and the graduation of four players on May 12, an as yet unnamed team will compete in the annual Celtic Seven Man tournament at Albuquerque's Balloon Fiesta Park on May 19.

Alan Carson, 51, will be Lexington's new city manager effective Feb. 25 when his swearing-in will take place.
Alan Carson, 51, will be Lexington's new city manager effective Feb. 25 when his swearing-in will take place.
The interim city manager and former assistant city manager was awarded the position on Monday at the conclusion of the Lexington City Council meeting.
"I am very excited. This is a great opportunity that he council has given me," Carson said.
When John Gray, former city manager announced his retirement in September, the city council decided to have an open process, searching for the best candidate for the vacant position.
"I applaud the council for going through an open process," said Newell Clark, mayor of Lexington. "But when it came to the face-to-face interviews, it was clear we had the strongest candidate in-house. This was a unanimous decision by the council."
The field of more than 80 applicants was narrowed to five and then four were brought in for face-to-face interviews.
"I've known Alan for several years and I know his leadership abilities. Once we interviewed the four candidates, it was clear he was head and shoulders qualified above the others," said Linwood Bunce, councilman.
Carson has held the position of assistant city manager/human resources director since 2003. Before this time he worked in human resources, customer service, but was hired in 1989 as the city's first Utilities Marketing Manager.
Carson received his bachelor's of science degree from Radford University in Virginia, where he majored in business, according to a press release from city hall. Carson is a 1993 graduate of Leadership Davidson County, a 1998 graduate of the 170-hour municipal administration course from the Institute of Government and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a 2007 graduate of the Public Executive Leadership Academy at the Institute of Government.
Carson also currently serves on several boards throughout the city and county, such as the Lexington Tourism Board, the J. Smith Young YMCA Board of Directors and the Wake Forest Baptist Health—Lexington Medical Center Foundation Board of Directors.
As part of his interview, Carson said he wanted to see the city get involved in the council's goals.
"One of the biggest things I would like to see happen is the city staff to become more of an integral part in setting the goals to move the city forward," Carson said.
The next few months will be filled with drafting the coming year's fiscal budget along with incorporating the final draft of the city goals, once they are approved.
"We want to keep the city moving forward and work to make sure our future is brighter than our past," Carson said.
Council approved the city manager's salary as $120,000.

TORRANCE, Calif. (KTLA) — A South Bay worship leader has been charged with molesting a 4-year-old girl, police said.
Jose Mendez Vazquez, 67, worked at several South Bay churches that serve Spanish-speaking congregations.
The charges stem from an incident that allegedly took place near his home in Torrance in 2008.
The alleged victim, who is now 8 years old, recently told a friend what happened, and the friend informed Torrance police.
Vazquez was arrested on Dec. 3 and charged with two counts of committing lewd acts upon a child. He has pleaded not guilty and is free on bail.
Investigators believe that Vazquez might have had contact with children at the churches he served.
Anyone with information about Vazquez is asked to call detectives at 310-618-5571.

So I'm thinking that you all have been waiting for me to get back from the NGS conference that was held in Salt Lake City last week. I'll bet you're thinking that I've got lots of stories and information to share with you about my trip. Man oh man do I ever!
I have to tell you, even after all my careful planning the first day didn't start off as well as expected. I over-slept and ended up boarding the plane 5 minutes before take-off. In my rush I left my laptop and flash drives at home.
The day got even more awesome when I phoned the hotel for the shuttle. The driver did not see me the first time he came to pick up guests of the hotel. The second time I did everything in my power to make sure that did not happen again. When I saw the van approaching I stood in the middle of the street and flapped my arms up and down. Not one of my better ideas. I must have scared him because when he passed me and just kept going I threw my tote bag at the van. What? I was in the middle of a hormonal meltdown.
Not wanting to accept defeat, I came up with yet another brilliant plan. I went into the restroom and changed my clothes, put my hair up and donned sunglasses. I felt like a super-hero in reverse - I changed INTO a mild mannered normal person. Worked like a charm. He didn't recognize me and I got to the hotel in one piece.
The rest of the day was great. My roommate Donna Pointkouski - What's Past Is Prologue - and Steve Danko - Steve's Genealogy Blog - took me on a hike around downtown Salt Lake City. This is the point where I became aware of how out of shape I am. One block and I am huffing and puffing, my calves are burning worse than the hot flashes I seem to be having every 10 minutes. We had a great Italian dinner, great conversation (we may have solved some of the world's problems) and then it was back to the hotel for the night.
Tuesday was spent in the Family History Library - need I say more?
In the evening I attended the APG Roundtable Discussion. The topic was "How to Increase Earnings by Opening More Options to Attract Potential Clients." The panelists were Natalie Cottrill of ProGenealogists, Karen Clifford course instructor for Family History Studies at Monterey Peninsula College and publisher of Genealogy Research Associates, and Alvie Davidson private investigator of Florida Detective.
A quick get-together for a group photo of ProGen participants and alumni topped the evening off.
I spent the rest of the day cruising the exhibit hall with Kathryn Doyle ( aka Sister Mary Kitty) in search of chocolate and familiar faces and more chocolate. Have I mentioned yet that it was snowing most of the time I was in Salt Lake City? That's right - it is the end of APRIL and it is snowing! Kathryn took the photo below of snow in my hair. It sure doesn't take much to amuse us! For those who may not know, Kathryn is the author of the California Genealogical Society blog, the San Francisco Bay Area Genealogy Calendar and the creator of the Carnival of Genealogy Societies .
People I spent time with today: Daniel Horowitz from My Heritage , Dean Richardson from Genlighten , Ron Aarons the author of the new book "The Jews of Sing Sing" , Gena Ortega - Gena's Genealogy Blog, Madaleine Laird - kinfolit blog , Jean Hibben - Circle Mending , Dear Myrtle
Real snowflakes in my hair!

Child Therapist
Aleksandra Drecun, Psy.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
In 92130 - Nearby to San Diego Country Estates.
Working with young children requires that the professional possesses specialized knowledge and skills that enable them to identify problem behaviors and formulate appropriate interventions that are developmentally appropriate for the child. As a psychologist trained to work with children and families, I develop individualized treatment plans appropriate to each child's and family's specific needs. Working with children, I use an playful approach which will engage the child in addressing any psychic conflicts they may be experiencing and find healthy ways to address those conflicts so that children can function at their most optimal level in all facets of life.

Reverend Sherri Board, LCPC
Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor
Available for Online Therapy
Here at My True Temperament Christian Counseling, LLC, we help parents and children, 7-18 years of age, learn and understand the child's true temperament. True temperament means what are the inherent ways, ways specific to the child and not to his/her environment, in which the child prefers to interact with others. We measure the child's temperament in three ways. Inclusion/Social Orientation, Control/Power, and Affection/Emotions. The greatest benefit to both parents and child knowing the child's true temperament is the ability to work with the temperament of the child and not against it. For the convenience of the family, True Temperament Counseling is offered strictly online.

Thomas Schmierer, Catholic Therapist, Licensed MFT
Healing and Peace Catholic Therapy Services
In 92008 - Nearby to San Diego Country Estates.
I am a Catholic Therapist who utilizes play therapy methods with young children to help them express their emotions in the way that is normal and appropriate for kids, through play! The kids I treat often have a good time while they work through their emotional problems of fear, anger, or sadness towards someone important in their lives. They can work out their aggressions on clay figures and their fears and sadness through paintings. I believe that the indirect approach of play therapy is developmentally appropriate for young children because they are not yet ready for the "adult" techniques of talk therapy.

Donna Scott, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I have a heart for children who have been abused emotionally, physically or sexually. Play Therapy is an effective way to help a child work through their trauma. It is also a great way to teach the child ways to express their emotions. It also provides a way fo me to teach children new tools designed to give them a voice, equip and empower them. The age range is 6-12.
Child Therapist
Andrew Last, L.M.F.T., C.S.A.T
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Struggling with your child's behaviors? Is your child angry, depressed, or suffering from family issues? I work very well with children helping them to process their emotions and develop healthy ways of coping. I also spend a lot of time working with parents to equip them with the skills to connect with and better help their child navigate and overcome their current struggle. Every child's personality and situation is unique. This requires a therapist who can help problem solve with parents to find the best solution for their particular child. Rather than following a particuar formula I will work with you to give your child the help they need. Call today for a consultation.

Child Therapist
Dennis Harris, MFT
In 91910 - Nearby to San Diego Country Estates.
Young children need a safe place to express their needs and frustrations as well as guidance in managing their frustration in acceptable ways. Often working with children leads to assisting parents in ways to connect more closely with their children while acquiring some tools to set and enforce reasonable boundaries. Whether helping a child process through trauma or learn self control my goal is to not only provide guidance for your child but also for you in working with them at home.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn't be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own!

oh..and..school about to start What??? We're in AUGUST!
I pressed 309h...
Sure you can ask questions about homework! And someone usually answers, too ... but just to help you understand, ok? (Then you solve the rest yourself.)
(Oh, and I pressed all the keys above, plus the ones you are reading now ... )
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
why 444 or 777?
what is so special abt these numbers?
666 was taken.
Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
What about 555?
Friends are angels who lift our feet when our own wings have trouble remembering how to fly
5+5+5 = 15
1+5 = 6 =>666
So 555 was taken too.

I've been a big fan of Paul Graham's Y Combinator for a while now. Ryan Junee and his team at Omnisio (Y Combinator Jan-Mar '08) had great things to say about their time at the quasi-incubator. While they haven't yet had their blowout hit from an investment standpoint, Y-Comb alumni firms are quickly becoming names in the social web landscape: Disqus, iminlikewithyou, Justin.tv, and Reddit to name a few.
Now Paul is laying out what he'd like to to have pitched, aptly dubbing his list, "Startup Ideas We'd Like to Fund." It's a refreshing and pretty candid post. Take for example #11 on the list:
11. Web Office apps. We're interested in funding anyone competing with Microsoft desktop software. Obviously this is a rich market, considering how much Microsoft makes from it. A startup that made a tenth as much would be very happy. And a startup that takes on such a project will be helped along by Microsoft itself, who between their increasingly bureaucratic culture and their desire to protect existing desktop revenues will probably do a bad job of building web-based Office variants themselves. Before you try to start a startup doing this, however, you should be prepared to explain why existing web-based Office alternatives haven't taken the world by storm, and how you're going to beat that.
One common theme throughout the list is the need for not only the killer idea complete with its disruptive tendencies, but the ability to identify why it hasn't been done before. It's one thing to spot the market that is rife with bloat, but it's not always so easy to spell out why.
On my end, I'm still looking for startups that fill the 5 Web 2.0 Services I'd Like to See (and I'd acutually pay for.) Though I have to give a nod out to Brian McConnell for pointing me to his firm, worldwidelexcion.org for blog translation services. More on this in another post, but it sounds promising. It is, as he calls it, a "suite of collaborative translation tools for publishers and bloggers that combine machine translation, volunteers (from your readership) and if desired professionals."

Progress ~ Something Old - Hourai High, Coming Soon! Adventures of Hourai High
# Posted on February 2nd, 2011 07:24 PM by Gideon ZhiYeah, so I wanted this out on Christmas. It was supposed to be the big surprise, the awesome gift nobody was expecting. Grumble grumble. Turns out that even though the beta had started about a week before the big day, there were a *ton* of issues with the hacking that made the game explode in all sorts of creative ways. This is largely due to the way the game was put together in the first place (sloppily.)
But I think we´re finally nearing the end! One of the testers finished up not too long ago, and I think we´ve finally resolved the last of the crashes and cosmetic bugs. I think. No guarantees, but I´m expecting to be able to release this fairly soon.
To showcase some of the rather extensive hacking that´s gone into this, I´ve put together a little before-and-after article on the project. It will be forever immortalized in the game´s Extras section, so please peruse it! There are about thirty new screenshots on the project page, too.
Also, here's a youtube video of the game in action.

Progress ~ As usual, I overestimate myself# Posted on December 27th, 2010 05:42 AM by Gideon ZhiSo it´s probably pretty obvious by now that we´ve run into some difficulties with the holiday release gambit thing. The playtest for the game I´d hoped to release last weekend hasn´t finished yet - it´s been slow going, and has been plagued by a *lot* of issues, crashes, and the like. The third game I haven´t even managed to start playtesting yet, and I´ve just uncovered a not insubstantial amount of text that still needs to be translated. The main story mode is done, but the rest of it... well. Might as well come out and say it - this third title was supposed to be Super Puzzle Puyo, Too. Along with the standard adventure mode (which I think we´re calling "Rulue´s Mad Grab for Power") it comes packed with the standard Endless Mode, a puzzle editor, a chain tutorial, and a message from Act Against Aids, none of which have even really been touched. Oops.
So, sorry. We tried! But I´m still hoping to release the second game ("something old") on or about the new year. At least two of my betatesters are at least halfway through, and the current build seems dramatically more stable than the last... er, six. Still hoping for a surprise on that one, so no reveal yet.
I´ll post some pictures of Puyo at some point, maybe, if I can find anything worth showing off that hasn´t already been posted. Most of the recent progress has been end-of-game dialog edits though, so I don´t know if extra screens will be possible.
I´m going to try to relax for the next few days. I´m supposed to be on vacation, and it´s been a busy week already. I need at least a few days to just veg and not have to think about anything!

Major Release ~ Ancient Magic is out. Ancient Magic
# Posted on December 19th, 2010 01:31 AM by Gideon ZhiAncient Magic is a fairly generic little RPG for the SNES by the much-maligned Hot-B. See if you can spot their advert for another of their products in the game! Despite its rather pedestrian roots, the game takes several surprising twists towards the end, and is generally worth sticking it out even if the wrap-up (or lack thereof) is a bit of a let down. As a note, there´s more game past "THE END." Also as a note, do set your window speed to "fast" in the in-game options menus - it´ll improve your experience dramatically.
A godawful amount of work went into this, probably more than was worth it. If I can find the time sometime in the next week or so, I´ll put up some kind of postmortem showing off before-and-afters of a bunch of the interface rearrangements. Fun fact, in the original Japanese version, you couldn´t see your max HP or MP in battle! You can in mine, though!
And now I´m going to bed.

Progress ~ Announcing The Great Holiday Release Gambit# Posted on December 18th, 2010 06:21 PM by Gideon ZhiSo, in two weeks´ time, it will be the new year. Time flies! And unfortunately, Aeon Genesis STILL only has one release this year. This simply will not do! As such, I´m announcing The Great Holiday Release Gambit. It´s like an advent calendar, except there are only three doors and they open much less frequently.
I have three things I want to release by the end of the year. The first is Ancient Magic. Its playtest ended within the last few days, and I´m just now fixing up the last of the issues. I´m hoping to have it out in the next five hours or so.
The second game has just entered betatesting, and I´m hoping to have it out in a week´s time, give or take. The third, in another week. This last one I can´t make any concrete promises on; I still have about half the script to edit and a bunch more hacking to do before it´s done, but it doesn´t look like it´s anywhere near as beastly as the last few games have been.
Tonight´s clue is not so much "Something old, something new" as it is "Something old, something really old, and something waaaay older than even that last one, no, seriously." All three games are substantially beefy, and I don´t think many people will be disappointed with the results should the Great Gambit succeed.
See you in a few hours, hopefully, after the last Ancient Magic fixes are implemented! (Note: Screenshots unrelated.)

Progress ~ Ancient Magic betatest wrapping up Ancient Magic
# Posted on December 16th, 2010 01:53 AM by Gideon ZhiRelease is imminent. Like, within-the-next-24-ish-hours imminent. I hope. I´m still hoping to get three more patches out this year, and this is one of ´em! There´s still time!

Miscellaneous ~ It´s been a dry year# Posted on October 11th, 2010 10:28 AM by Gideon ZhiYes, I realize it´s been a pretty dry year. Looking back, Tactics Ogre is really the only thing I´ve released, which makes me sad. However, I´m expecting to release at least three more projects by year´s end - hopefully four, and maybe even more. One of these is Laplace´s Demon, which I´d wanted to get out for Halloween but I´ve been really busy and haven´t had time to finish its script edit. Another is Super Nazo Puyo 2, which has been placed on the backburner while I work on more important stuff but really only needs a week or two of hard work before it´s ready to be playtested. Of course there´s also Ancient Magic, whose betatest is progressing smoothly, and I´ve got at least one or two other things baking quickly in the oven.
I´ve also gone back to school. I´m happy with my degrees but they´re not making me any money, so I´m going to spend a few years and get a BS in computer science, which is probably what I should have done in the first place. The two classes I´ve been taking this semester and the 40-hour work week I´m doing over the weekend have put a vicegrip on my free time of late, but somehow I still find time for the hobby. I´m not going to promise a Christmas run-up like several years back, when I released a new translation every two weeks for two or three months straight, and now that I think of it I haven´t even *considered* a Christmas release. I have something I´d certainly like to launch on the big 12-25, but I don´t know if it´d be possible to get it ready in time... We´ll see. Whether or not I have a Christmas release for you all, the rest of the year promises to be fruitful, and again, I apologize for the recent drought.

Progress ~ And now for a blast from the past. Super Puzzle Puyo, Too!
# Posted on September 3rd, 2010 03:39 AM by Gideon ZhiSo here´s one there hasn´t been any news on in a while! Years, in fact! Tonight, I did some tinkering with Super Nazo Puyu Tsuu (or, as we´ll probably be calling it, "Super Puzzle Puyo, Too!") I´d say that progress is astounding enough to warrant a full site update, and not just a twitter post. The full main dialog script has been inserted, whereas before only about two thirds of it had found its way into the game. The project has been brought up to date with current tools (instead of tools from, say, 2003 or earlier) and roughly half of the script has been edited. No work on the menu systems yet, though they shouldn´t pose too much of a problem. I´ve also added 23 new screenshots to the game´s project page, a link to which you can find at the top of this post. As usual I can´t say when it´ll be done, other than "soon, I hope."

Progress ~ Ancient Magic finally reaches beta Ancient Magic
# Posted on August 24th, 2010 09:43 PM by Gideon ZhiUgh, this game´s programming is one horrible spaghetti mess! But it´s finally in playtesting, which means that the end is in sight. Have a copy of the new title screen, and of one of the tougher issues (fade-in sprite text stored nine times in the rom! Ugh.)

Miscellaneous ~ And now for something completely different.# Posted on May 22nd, 2010 08:16 PM by Gideon ZhiI was browsing YouTube a month or so ago for silly House of the Dead 2 stuff when I came across a band named after the game´s infamous "Suffer, like G did" line. The recordings were shaky cams of live performances and weren´t of very good quality, but the band has since released a three-track EP which you can download on their website. I´ve been taken completely aback by their stuff, as it´s actually really good! Very jazzy. So yeah, this is a plug. Grab the EP (it´s free) and if you like them, then spread the word.

Progress ~ Ancient Magic: Script Fully Inserted Ancient Magic
# Posted on May 1st, 2010 03:35 PM by Gideon ZhiA few days ago I finally managed to get Ancient Magic´s auto-format routine working nearly 100%. What this means, in effect, is that I add a single control code at the start of a string, and the game itself adds line breaks where appropriate. This is complicated by Ancient Magic´s text system for two reasons. First, there is no standard "line break" command like most games have; instead, the game has a "print cursor position" command, which takes X and Y parameter bytes. Second, the routine likes to recursively call itself, most notably to differentiate between the speech patterns of the male and female main characters. These have been fully retained in the text translation, and the routine is currently navigating said recursive jumps with about 98% accuracy. Of course we need 100%, but it´s really cool to see nonetheless.
The *nice* thing about the super annoying Cursor Position command is that it lets me tweak menus like crazy, and take advantage of the double-spacing that ten-ten marks usually occupy. I´ve also managed to add max hp and max mp indicators to the battle window, which the original game did not have!
I don´t know how much longer this will take, but I´d like to have it being playtested in a week or two. No guarantees on that, of course.

Winners Circle Report
by Gayle Mitchell
Special to Bingo Bugle
"I Won the Jackpot" is the sound of dreams coming true. With the ever-increasing progressive jackpots offered by casinos, the Big Hits are what we seek. This report details four of these winning stories from the lucky winners. It is interesting that the first two winning tales occurred on different dates, different slot machines at casinos far apart, yet both are almost equal in winnings. Curious, yes? Enjoy your read.
1) Super Wedding to Come
Colin Savage of Lowestoft England was visiting Vegas for the first time with his fiancée, Tina French and made stop at the Bellagio Casino. He chose a Quartermillion$ progressive that was soon to pay out $596,149. "I put $100 in the machine, but only planned on playing $20," said Savage. "We are going to pay off the mortgage and then have a fantastic wedding. "This still has not sunk in. It's truly unbelievable."
2) Locked in a Win
Jane Schwaegerl, a nurse from LaCross, WI, related her winning strategy after hitting a $595,109 Wheel of Fortune MegaJackpot at a dollar machine. "If I am successful on other machines, I try the 3X slot to see if I can win more and this time it worked. It was unreal." "I realized that the other machines scrolling numbers had changed and my machine locked on the winning amount." Schwaegerl had played about $100 at the Majestic Pines Casino in Black River Falls, WI. There will definitely be presents for the grandchildren and Jane plans to invest the rest.
3) A Rewarding Detour
Sharon Haggard, 54, of Oakdale, CA is a legal assistant who stopped in Reno with her sister during a road trip. Upon arrival at the Grand Sierra Casino, a 50-cent Wheel of Fortune progressive was selected along with a wager of $100. The casino is a favorite stop for Haggard and her husband who compete for slot winnings. It will be difficult for her hubby to top Sharon's Megajackpot win of $1,595,843. As she stated, "Mama's got her mojo back." The future does not include retirement for the new millionaire, but assisting her mother, son and daughter is a definite plan.
4) She Returned to the Wheel
The anonymous winner from Las Vegas explained her huge payday of $6,978,753. this way, "I had decided to walk away from the machine, but after a while, I opted to come back and play one more time. That was the best decision I every made. This is a dream come true." Before walking away, she had asked a man at the Orleans Casino in Vegas sitting next to her how she would know if she won the jackpot. "He told me to keep an eye on the middle line and watch for five Wheel of Fortune signs all lined up in a row," said the 52-year-old Korean native. Future plans include paying off her car and house, helping her children-grandchildren and donating to her church.
