Blake: Ryan or Karl?
Even though there was a screening for it the night before, or two nights before, the official official New York premiere of Blue Valentine went down last night. Michelle Williams looked lovely. Ryan Gosling had on a really great jacket. They posed with the kid. It was all the same. Except Blake Lively turned up. And you know, Blake and Ryan were at Disneyland together a couple of months ago – click here for a refresher - so we're back on that now.
Interestingly enough, Blake just came from a short trip to Paris where she was supposedly, according to E!, shooting ads for Chanel as their new handbag spokesperson. Well no wonder she's been looking extra, extra skinny lately. Thank you Anna Wintour for the hook-up. And thank you Karl Lagerfeld for the opportunity.
But last night, in Paris, Karl hosted an event. It was the Chanel Metiers D'Art show and most of Karl's muses were present and accounted for – Vanessa Paradis (which must have been why she did not accompany Johnny to New York for The Tourist) and Diane Kruger and Anna Mouglalis and a Grimaldi here and there (click here to see photos) – and you'd think Blake, as the new face, the new member of the elite circle, you'd think she'd stay to be with KL, right? Please. As hot as Ryan Gosling is, if Karl f-cking Lagerfeld asked me to stand around and not speak only flutter in his presence, my Chinese ass is staying in his presence.
She went back to New York. And showed up at the Blue Valentine premiere.
Maybe she has Gossip Girl to work on today. Maybe it's "work". Maybe it's a "work" schedule. But oh, I'm sure there could have been a later flight arranged so that she could have attended Karl's little party with a 6 hour time difference and still made it back for "work" today, if that's indeed what it was...

My air-conditioning has been out for a week. Fortunately, the week it nefariously chose to go on strike has been a rather cool one, but I've still had to employ some less energy-intensive procedures to keep cool.
The first is the use of fans. Pretty straight-forward stuff. And because using the stove and oven to cook heats the room up, I wait until late evening to cook. I also drink more chilled water throughout the day to regulate my own temperature. If it's nice out, I open windows in the room to create a cross breeze.
Even though I've implemented cooling methods that are efficient and cost-effective, I must admit that I'm looking forward to getting the air conditioner fixed. But knowing what I know now, perhaps I'll go the natural route more often. What will you power down to save energy?

NEW YORK — Quickly putting aside one poor set, defending champion Andy Murray finished strongly and beat 81st-ranked Leonardo Mayer of Argentina 7-5, 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 to reach the U.S. Open's third round.
After dropping the third set, then opening the fourth 1-all, the No. 3-seeded Murray powered his way to the last five games on Friday. It's his 26th consecutive victory in a second-round Grand Slam match.
Murray's last loss at that stage came in his U.S. Open debut in 2005. Last year in New York, Murray became the first British man since 1936 to win a major tournament, snapping an 0-4 mark in Grand Slam finals. He added a second major trophy at Wimbledon last month. Mayer is 0-12 against top 10 opponents.

WCSU faculty members and administrators who work within the EdD Program have succeeded in making many connections between the students and local community members, as well as with students and professors at other universities. As part of the Distinguished Guest Lecturer Series, students participated in the following opportunities: a leadership seminar conducted by Dr. Dennis Shirley from Boston College, curriculum workshops by experts Dr. Lynn Erickson and Dr. Deborah Burns, a joint research presentation with students and professors from McGill University in Montréal, a dissertation seminar with students from St. John's University led by Dr. Rita Dunn, a seminar led by Drs. Joseph Renzulli and Sally Reis from the University of Connecticut, and a Creativity in Mathematics workshop led by Dr. Rachel McAnallen.
WCSU's Instructional Leadership Conference is hosted by the School of Professional Studies and numerous community partners. Held every second year, educators from the northeast are invited to present their research and innovative classroom practices through individual presentations, panels, or poster sessions. The conference also affords our students the opportunity to showcase the results of their investigations.
Faculty members are active in exploring avenues for students to disseminate their products. For example, students have presented at national conferences for the National Association for Gifted Children, the American Educational Research Association, the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, The Association for Middle Level Education, and the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages as well as at regional conferences in their fields throughout the northeast. All students submit manuscripts for publication and many have been accepted in national and regional journals. Refer to the Annual Report for specific citations.

William Neile was born at Bishopsthrope in 1637. He was a pupil of Wallis and showed great promise. Neile's parabola was the first algebraic curve to have its arc length calculated; only the arc lengths of transcendental curves such as the cycloid and the logarithmic spiral had been calculated before this. Unfortunately Neile died at a young age in 1670 before he had achieved many further results.
In 1687 Leibniz asked for the curve along which a particle may descend under gravity so that it moves equal vertical distances in equal times. Huygens showed that the semi-cubical parabola x3 = ay2 satisfied this property. Because of this it is an isochronous curve.
The semi-cubical parabola is the evolute of a parabola.

A bit of survival
OK, I've tried to stay away from racials, but this is one of the reasons I expect to see Night Elf Priests nerfed sometime not so far in the future. Oh, the big thing is starshards – I do almost as much with it as I do with SW:P, only using no mana. Heh – I've taken to using it during raids if I have a second free from healing.
But I'm referring to the other spell. Elune's grace. With a 3 minute cooldown it's not overpowered – in fact, isn't something you have on any regular basis. Except, well, I've set up a macro.
/castsequence reset=30 fade, Elune's Grace
One of the Big Nightmares of fade is when you just didn't do enough – when even with fade the mob is determined to make you George. Sure, you run to the tank or your rescue party, and they're going to take the mob off you. But for a couple of eternities – I mean seconds – you're getting bruises on your delicate complexion. Fade, wait the global cooldown, and then (for top rank) you get 15 seconds of reducing the HIT PROBABILITY of the mob's embrace by 20%. If you've read the bits about adding +hit for the shadowpriest you begin to realize how large this is. Twenty Percent. One out of five hits no longer hit you. Add a Shield to the sequence (before or after) and your chance of surviving till SOMETHING can pull it off you becomes outstanding.
Oh, let me add a related note. There's a habit of many heal priests – especially those on PVE servers – of not keeping Inner Fire up. Folks, if you do not have that up anytime combat is happening, you are giving your opponents 10% more damage. A tiny bit of mana once every three minutes – just after each battle, for good practice – gives you a definite increase in chance of surving your turn as George. Use it. (Our brothers and sisters on the shadow side already have armor up with the shadowform, but I'll suggest anytime they've got a wild and wooly mob – one that likes to random charge – that they might be equally aided in adding this to their habit as well.)
4 Responses to "A bit of survival"
my understanding is that casting PW:S does not generate the aggro, but that the aggro is generated whenever a mob hits your shield. so you'd get some aggro each time the mob hits you, as compared to huge aggro when you caste PW:S.
That being said, I try not to use PW:S when I pull aggro. However, I DON'T hesitate to use it if I'm low on health. Teh party would rather the 'healer-protector' (tank/hunter/etc) battle extra aggro than having the healer die because (s)he's to scared to hold aggro for a few more seconds.
YES, inner fire FTW!!!
Xcal, something I would like you to try sometime during a raid or instance. Cast your pw:s on yourself before you pull and look at your threat meter. You will find that in all actuality YES your name is on that list and are the only one there, if you have a poor tank guess who that mob is coming after!!!!

To get started go a head and create a new VB.NET Windows Forms application. I called mine VBGameProgramming. Now you will want to add a single Picture Box control to the form and call it pbSurface. What you will want to do next is set two properties of pbSurface. The first one will be the Dock property. You want to set the to be Fill. The other property you want to set is the BackColor property. Set that to be Black. There is just one other thing that I want to do in the designer. I want to create an event handler for the Shown event for when the form is first open. Click on the Title bar of the form to make sure that it is selected. Now, click the little lightning bolt in the properties window to bring up the list of event handlers. Create a new event for the Shown event. You can create the default event by double clicking the word Shown. That is all I'm going to do with the designer. For the rest of the tutorial I will be working in code.
I'm not going to create a class for the timer. I'm just going to use the Stopwatch class. There are some variables that you will want to add to the code for Form1. In my tutorials I like to show the code and then explain the way things work.
Dim timer As Stopwatch Dim backBuffer As Image Dim graphics As Graphics Dim clientWidth As Integer Dim clientHeight As Integer Dim interval As Long Dim startTick As Long Dim imageRect As Rectangle Dim direction As Point
The first field timer will be used to have the game run at the same speed on different computers. If you don't preform timing and your computer is a slower or faster than a friend's computer and you try and run it on their computer it would be too fast if yours is much slower or too slow if your is much faster. It is typically better to draw to a back buffer and then flip the back buffer to the screen. This will help to reduce flicker. That is why there is a variable called backBuffer and is of type Image. To do the rendering with GDI+, which is slow by the way, you need an object of the Graphics class. That is what the next variable is for. The next two variables, clientWidth and clientHeight, will hold the size of the drawing area. I will need them frequently and it is usually better to assign the values to variables rather than using magic numbers. The next two fields will be used to control the speed at which the game runs. The interval variable will hold how long to pause the game for. The startTick variable will hold in microseconds when each pass through the game loop starts. The next two variables are for drawing a rectangle on the screen and bouncing it around the screen. The imageRect will be the actual rectangle and direction will control the speed at which the rectangle moves around the screen.
You need to set up a few things in the Form1_Load event and initialize a few variables. This is the code for the Form1_Load event.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.DoubleBuffered = True Me.MaximizeBox = False Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle timer = New Stopwatch() clientWidth = 300 clientHeight = 300 interval = 16 Me.ClientSize = New Size(clientWidth, clientHeight) backBuffer = New Bitmap(clientWidth, clientHeight) graphics = graphics.FromImage(backBuffer) direction = New Point(2, 3) imageRect = New Rectangle(0, 0, 55, 65) End Sub
The first line sets the DoubleBuffered property of the form to True to keep it from flickering. I don't want the size of the form to change so I set the MaximizeBox property to False and the FormBorderStyle property to FixedSingle. Since timer is an object you need to create a new instance for it. I set the clientWidth and the clientHeight variables to 300. I then set the interval variable to 16. That is 16 milliseconds which is about 1/60 of a second giving a frame rate of about 60 frames per second. I set the ClientSize property of the form to be 300 by 300. I also create a new Bitmap for backBuffer to be the same size. There is no constructor for the Graphics class. I use the FromImage method using the backBuffer image for this. I then set the direction of rectangle to be (2, 3). That means the X position of the rectangle will initially move 2 pixels to the right. This is because when you are drawing the X axis increases as you move from the left side of the screen to the right side. The rectangle will also move 3 pixels down the screen initially because Y increases as you move from the top of the screen down. I know this is different than in math. I also create a rectangle that will start at X and Y coordinate (0, 0) and is 55 pixels wide and 65 pixels high.
There is only one line of code in the Form1_Shown event handler. It just calls a sub that I will right that will handle the game loop. You can create games using the Timer control that comes with the .NET framework. A game loop is just more accurate as the accuracy of the Timer control isn't as good as the accuracy of the Stopwatch. This is the code for the Form1_Shown event handler
Private Sub Form1_Shown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Shown GameLoop() End Sub
The GameLoop sub is where I will control the game. In a game there is always a game loop. What happens in the game loop is that you update any objects in the game. You then draw the objects of the game. You preform any events that are in the event queue and you preform your timing to control the speed the game runs at. This is the code for the GameLoop sub.
Private Sub GameLoop() timer.Start() Do While (Me.Created) startTick = timer.ElapsedMilliseconds GameLogic() RenderScene() Application.DoEvents() Do While timer.ElapsedMilliseconds - startTick < interval Loop Loop End Sub
What this code does is first start the timer so that it is running and I can use it to control the speed at which the game runs. Now comes the actual game loop. What happens here is that this will loop while the form is in existence. The first thing you need to do is determine which millisecond the loop starts at. You then call the GameLogic sub, which I will show you shortly, to perform the logic of the game. Next you call the RenderScene sub, which I will show you shortly, to draw the scene. The next line will process any events that are of interest to the form. The next loop will just loop until the current millisecond of the timer minus the startTick is less than the interval variable. This is what has the game run at a constant speed on slower and faster computers. I will let you know that using GDI+ is slow. Having a frame rate of 60 frames per second for a large game that draws a lot of objects will not be possible. You will more than likely have to go for a lower frame rate. There are a few tricks that you can do to speed this up a little. I will get into that in future tutorials.
Now it is time for the GameLogic sub. Like I mentioned, this sub is where I will control the moving of the object on the screen. This is the code for the GameLogic sub.
Private Sub GameLogic() imageRect.X += direction.X imageRect.Y += direction.Y If imageRect.X < 0 Then imageRect.X = 0 direction.X *= -1 End If If imageRect.Y < 0 Then imageRect.Y = 0 direction.Y *= -1 End If If imageRect.X + imageRect.Width > clientWidth Then imageRect.X = clientWidth - imageRect.Width direction.X *= -1 End If If imageRect.Y + imageRect.Height > clientHeight Then imageRect.Y = clientHeight - imageRect.Height direction.Y *= -1 End If End Sub
If you are not used to game programming that might look a little intimidating. What this does is each time the code runs is add the X and Y properties of direction to the X and Y properties of imageRect. If this was to continue the rectangle would eventually disappear. So I will do some bounds checks to see when the rectangle reaches the edges of the window. Checking for the left hand side and top of the form are the easiest cases. You know the X and Y coordinates of the rectangle because they are properties of the rectangle. To see if the rectangle will go off the left side of the screen you check to see if the X property is less than zero. If it is you set it to zero to keep it from going off the screen. Just staying in the same position is boring though. So what I do is multiply direction.X by -1 which will reverse the direction. To keep it from going off the top of the screen what you do I check to see if the Y property is less than 0. If it is set it 0 and then multiply direction.Y to reverse the direction the square is traveling. Checking for the right hand side is a little more difficult what you do is check to see if the X property plus the width of the rectangle is greater than the width of the client area. If it is set it to the X property to the width of the client area minus the width of the rectangle and again reverse the direction. Finally for the bottom of the window you check to see if the Y property of the rectangle plus the height is greater than the height of the client area. If it is set the Y property to the height of the client are minus the height of the rectangle and reverse the direction.
That just leaves the RenderScene sub. This is the code for that sub.
Private Sub RenderScene() backBuffer = New Bitmap(clientWidth, clientHeight) graphics = graphics.FromImage(backBuffer) pbSurface.Image = Nothing graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Blue(), imageRect) pbSurface.Image = backBuffer End Sub
This is the code that does the actual drawing. Each frame I create a new image for the backBuffer. What this does is create a blank drawing surface to draw to. Since I created a new image I need to create a new graphics object to draw with. I then set the Image property of pbSurface to be Nothing and that will remove the image from pbSurface effectively erasing the image. I then draw a filled rectangle to the image using a blue brush and the rectangle. I then set the Image property of pbSurface to be the new image drawn backBuffer.
Well, that is it for this tutorial. I plan to write a few more of these to help those VB.NET programmers that would like to create games with VB.NET.

Two turntables and a catechism
Hip-should not be overlooked when catechizing young Catholics.
By guest blogger Kevin Considine
"The beautiful thing about hip-hop is it's like an audio collage. You can take any form of music and do it in a hip-hop way and it'll be a hip-hop song. It's the only music you can do that with."
Those are the words of hip-hop artist Talib Kweli. And theologians, bishops, priests, lay ministers, and catechists should listen up. We can't dismiss the artistic and cultural power of hip-hop. Especially if we work with youth or in an urban setting, we dismiss it at our own risk.
Hip-hip is more than music. It is an art form, a fashion, and a way of life for many people.It is at the foundation of much of global youth culture.
One finds hip-hop artists all over the world, from Korea, China, India, France, Kenya, and Mexico, just to name a few. At its best, hip-hop is an art form that tells stories, raises consciousness, has its own dance styles, and (not least importantly) provides a good beat. And Catholics should dialogue with any cultural movement that has this much power
Yes, it has elements that are objectionable but there's more to it. Much of it is about self-expression, politics, story-telling and improvisational and lyrical skill. For example, arising to the general public in the mid-nineties was the more progressive wing of hip-hop, as represented by The Roots, Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Common. They made music that purposely displayed intelligence, historical and political consciousness, and a greater respect for women.
That doesn't mean that we give hip-hop's morally questionable elements a free pass. Particularly since our youth and teens are the primary consumers of this culture. There are numerous examples of hip-hop "artists" who use their music to glorify violence, sex on demand, materialism, drug use, and violence against women.
But these critiques don't take away the value of hip-hip as a meaningful, cultural force. There are many artists who tell compelling stories, advocate for a better life through education, marriage, and nonviolence. Even if some of these stories have violent imagery, is it much different from Johnny Cash singing, "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die"? And the more progressive strains in it understand the limits of the culture. As Kweli observed, "There's so many things in life, like women, children, God and family that transcend the world of hip-hop."
This doesn't mean that we pander to our youth or that we pretend we "get it." Most of us don't. But it does mean that we make a place for the best parts of it somewhere in our Church while also harshly condemning its excesses and destructive tendencies.
Due to the incarnation, where God took on human flesh, humans can carry God's image. This means that the art, music and ideas that we create also have the possibility of carrying the image of God. And despite all of its flaws, hip-hop is a part of that possibility.

Title: High Performance Product Management
Speaker: Colin Williams & Magnus Billgren
Date: November 30th
Time: 2:00 PM ET
URL: http://event.on24.com/r.htm?e=373711&s=1&k=0DDEFE79D336F2EE305F3A96D5BD9BDF Abstract:
Product & Product Portfolio Management is where market needs are translated to successful products. But what do you need to do and how can you reach "High Performance Product Management"?
In the IBM 2010 CEO Study, CEO's highlighted the need to reinvent client relationships:
"Getting close to the customers" is the single most important priority
"Better understand customer needs through collaboration and information sharing"
"Exploit the information explosion to deliver unprecedented customer service"
Product management is one of the most important functions in an organization. Yet the product management literature has focused largely on creating successful products and has relatively little to say about creating effective product management organizations.
This webcast identifies several key factors that potentially impact product management performance and client relationships. It highlights the progression in levels from a product management organization that is basic in its capabilities to a high performance product management organization. But what do you need to do and how can you reach "High Performance Product Management"?
Join this webcast to:
1. Understand the scope of product management
2. Get insights into how you can create a market driven product portfolio by creating a high performance product management culture within your organization.
3. Understand what level of Product Management capabilities that exist in your organization today and what steps you need to undertake to create a high performance product management organization.

Lakeshore nuclear power plant steam leak contained radiation
COVERT TOWNSHIP –– Federal regulators say a recent steam leak inside an auxiliary building at Palisades nuclear power plant in southwestern Michigan contained low levels of radiation.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says in a statement Tuesday that the leak was contained to the building. The leak forced operators of the plant in Van Buren County's Covert Township to remove it from service Sunday. Repairs are planned. The NRC says it has no immediate safety concerns.
The NRC says the leak contained "very low levels of tritium" and will be treated as radioactive liquid waste.
The plant says the leak couldn't be isolated or repaired with the plant in service.
The plant owned by New Orleans-based Entergy Corp. has been designated by the NRC as one of the nation's four worst-performing nuclear plants.

Denver AIA award 2011 winners: Great building, great pics
These photos landed in the inbox just after our post yesterday about this year's Denver AIA award winners, but they were too good not to pass on. They arrived courtesy of Sexton Lawton Architecture, which received an award of merit for the project.
The Cherry Creek North Medical building is an 8,000 square-foot renovation of an existing structure in the shopping district. The main attraction is the facade, which combines the openness of transparent glass with the privacy of translucent glass. It makes the most – and makes sense – of that "split-level" Cherry Creek signature that can sometimes be confusing to folks upon arrival.
But the building's real strength may be just how well-thought it is – from all sides. The photos tell the story.

NRG® Hot Towel Cabinet with UV Sterilizer
Open the front-loading door and treat clients to a soothing warm towel. Towels are at the peak temperature of 170°F so they stay warm longer. Cabinet holds 24 facial towels and features a built-in sanitizer - a welcome time saver. Towels sold separately. Temperatures may vary.
Hot Towel Cabi Dimensions:
I've used a variety of these, and this Hot Cabi is the best, most durable model. There is one glaring flaw: as with any other unit, including your oven at home, the heat compromises the gasket over time. Currently, you cannot order a replacement part. It's startling that I am not able to get a simple part to do routine maintenance on a unit that is otherwise going to last at least a decade. I hate to leave a critical review on such a good product, but sometimes that's the only way to create productive change. The customer service associate with whom I spoke about this was lovely and helpful, but could not ultimately solve this.
It should be no stars. Not a good experience. The first cabbi came and it was so slow to heat up. The third time I tried to use it, it didn't heat at all nor did the UV light work. I sent it back and ordered a replacement. The second one came with a broken door hinge. So reluctantly I tried another one thinking it couldn't happen again but it did. The third one came and it was dirty and scratched up. It looked like it was a refurbished unit because the cord was very different from the first two. I cleaned the dirt off but thought.... I'm not paying full price for a scratched refurbished unit. And sent it back. Extremely dissappointed in the product but Massage Warehouse customer service was very good.
Best purchase to enhance your clients experience. Hot towels on the feet, you could see the deep breath they take and go into a deeper state of relaxation.Well made quality product and very easy to clean. By the way you can use minimal amount of water on towels and both be effective to client and you with clean up. Love the UV sterilize feature,and looks very professional in my office clinic. I highly recommend this product.
I have wanted a towel cabbi for years, but just didn't want to spend the extra cash for it. But, after going on a missions trip to the Philippines, and getting a professional massage at a Filipino Spa, and experiencing the warm towels used during the massage, I decided it was time to pamper my clients with some of the same treatment. This cabbi is inexpensive and does a wonderful job of warming moist towels, warming dry towels, and keeping my stones hot and ready for a hot stone massage. I love it, and so glad I purchased it. I would recommend it to every therapist. My clients oooh and awww each time I lay a warm towel across their back. Thanks !
Have enjoyed my hot towel cabi. A very good addition to my practice also heats a few stones for spot treatment and warming hands prior to touching the client.

Facebook revenue scores thumbs-up on Street
SAN FRANCISCO -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks fast. Really fast. Likewise, the leader of the world's largest social network has been unleashing a blur of updates to the service, not the least of which are mobile advances.
The social-networking giant on Wednesday reported 38% higher first-quarter revenue of $1.5 billion. That narrowly topped first-quarter revenue expectations by roughly 1%. Meanwhile, the company reported 751 million monthly mobile visitors, up 54% from a year ago. All told, 30% of Facebook's revenue is coming from mobile users, up from 23% in the previous quarter and ahead of some expectations.
FIRST TAKE:Facebook earnings don't address uncertainty
ANALYSIS:Facebook future gets brighter on smaller screen
Facebook -- like Google, Yahoo and Zynga -- faces a wave of mobile users forcing a retooling of its business to capture digital dollars.
"We probably check our phones over 100 times per day," Zuckerberg said on a conference call.
The social-networking company has delivered a flurry of redesigns. Among them in recent months are its new News Feed, Graph Search and Facebook Home, its app launcher, which can take over the look and feel of a number of Android phones. News Feed, in particular, has pushed bigger images and a larger ad presence.
"I think these ads that are bigger and more visual and engaging are potentially more interesting to brand advertisers for sure," says analyst Greg Sterling.
There's a fine line between annoying users and advertising. Sponsored content now appears much like any other update from friends, front and center, and with larger images. Conventional wisdom is that Facebook's audience is maturing, and its growth is blunted by photo-sharing's Instagram and other social networks.
Still, Facebook trumpeted that Instagram boasts more than 100 million users, up from about 22 million when Facebook acquired the company.
Facebook reported adjusted net income of $312 million on revenue of $1.46 billion in the quarter. The company was expected to report net income of $308.44 million on revenue of $1.44 billion, according to the survey of estimates from Thomson Reuters.
The company reported earning per share of 12 cents. Excluding option expenses, Facebook was forecast to earn 13 cents per share.
Shares of Facebook immediately rose 3% to $28.26 in after-hours trading following the news before settling nearly unchanged.
"The mobile numbers need to be stronger," says Macquarie Research analyst Ben Schachter.
Facebook has done a better job serving ads across devices and measuring those ads' effectiveness, say analysts.
"This makes it easier for advertisers to make bigger purchases," says eMarketer's Clark Fredricksen.
U.S. mobile advertising revenue is forecast to surge to $7.29 billion in 2013 from $4.11 billion last year, according to eMarketer.

Simulation Games
Five Nights at Freddy's
Working the night shift as a security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza doesn't sound so bad, right? There won't be much to do but sit around watching the monitors in the office. It'll only be you and a bunch of cute, singing robots locked in there all night. What's the worst that could happen in this first installment of the popular point and click game series that's free to play online? All those terrifying rumors about the robots attacking other guards are probably just rumors. Freddy and his animatronic pals do look a little scary, though, especially as they roam through the halls in the dark. Fortunately, one of the former guards has left you a voicemail message with plenty of helpful advice that you can listen to on your first night on the job. If you keep track of the robots on the monitors and shut the doors to the office at the right moments, you won't run into any problems. If things get dicey, you can always scare them away and fill their little metallic hearts with horror by turning on the lights out in the halls. So there's nothing to worry about and you'll probably get through all five nights during your first week on the clock, provided that you conserve your limited power supply. Oh, and don't make too many mistakes, of course! Stay on your toes and don't even think about checking Instagram on your smartphone. Not even for a single second. After all, your very survival could be on the line in FNaF. If you wanted a boring work environment, you should have applied for a job in a bookstore instead!

A Spring Dinner Party
A bouquet of color sets the stage for an exuberant party
Sometimes the muse doesn't have to be courted. When luxury retailer and entertaining consultant Dean Driver was asked to create a spring dinner in Dallas, a mere glance at the fanciful wallpaper in the dining room where the festivities would be held was all he needed. Those happy garden colors sparked his updated scheme for the classic room, in which he used an interplay of patterns in a fashionable palette for his table setting.
"I've always loved color in everything from my decorating style to my wardrobe," says Driver. "I don't think there is ever a question of having too much or too little, but rather of picking the right combination of colors for the occasion."
A single graphic flower, modern in its off-center placement, adorns salad plates. To enhance their contemporary vibe, Driver anchored the plates with pieces in two contrasting patterns—a gold-edged yellow dinner plate with an unconventional shape and a service plate sprinkled with purple dots.
Driver's scheme ensures that guests—no doubt counting the days until spring's arrival—are greeted with the season's emblems. Miniature terra-cotta pots, painted yellow to match the dinner plates, are planted with lavender and sage. The pots, each with a guest's name written on the rim, serve as placecards. The centerpiece takes a retro spin, with roses, allium, freesia, and tulips arranged in vintage teapots from Driver's personal collection.
A salad with baby bibb lettuce and beets starts dinner, followed by a spring-inspired main course of pan-seared salmon with tomato risotto. Capping the meal is a phyllo-dough dessert tart of creamy goat cheese dotted with candied pecans and Riesling-poached cherries.
"There's a renewed interest in entertaining," says Driver. "It may be more casual, but people still want to be stylish and polished."

Spring Loaded
De Gournay's hand-painted "Chatsworth" wallpaper colorfully wraps the room (shown on previous slide) and sets the purple-and-yellow scheme for the table dressed with Bernardaud's "Jardin Indien" salad plates, Anna Weatherley's "Anna's Palette" dinner plates, and "Villa Toscana" chargers by J. Siegnolles; all from Consilium. Napkins from Sferra.
A Cut Above
Custom menu cards with a laser-cut floral design from Southern Fried Paper let the apple-green linen tablecloth peek through (fabric from Kravet). Gorham's "English Gadroon" estate silver flatware is from Copper Lamp Fine Silver & China.
Little Teapots, Short and Styled
It's likely most people have pieces tucked away in their cabinets and closets that they inherited from family or bought on a whim but seldom find the opportunity to use. For a charming vintage centerpiece, Dean Driver pulled teapots from his collection and filled them with flowers.
Hello, Sparkle
Clear stemware is elegant and highlights any wine's hue. To introduce a pop of subtle color, try a piece such as Baccarat's distinctive "Variations" wineglass detailed with a yellow base. The striking "Lismore Tall" goblets are from Waterford.
Guests love going home with glass spice jars filled with candied pecans (which also top the dessert).
Placecard Favors
These unique placecards reflect the essence of spring—painted clay pots filled with herbs and embellished with the guest's name.
Entertaining consultant Dean Driver created this Dallas dinner around the colors and emblems of spring.

Pan-Seared Scottish Salmon with Dill-Butter Sauce
Dill-Butter Sauce:
• 1-1/2 cups dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon minced shallot
• 1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic (3 cloves)
• 1-1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
• 1/4 cup whipping cream
• 1/2 cup butter, cut up
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons snipped fresh dill
• 2 pounds fresh skinless salmon fillets cut into 8 equal portions
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• Fresh dill sprigs
For Dill-Butter Sauce, in medium saucepan combine white wine, lemon juice, shallot, garlic, and mustard. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and boil, uncovered, 15 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half. Add whipping cream; simmer 7 minutes or until reduced to 3/4 cup. Reduce heat to low.
Using a whisk, stir in butter, one piece at a time, allowing each piece to melt before adding the next. Season to taste with salt and pepper.* Stir in dill. Set aside in warm place.
For Salmon, lightly brush salmon with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Season both sides with kosher salt. In very large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil on medium-high heat. Sear salmon on one side 5 minutes or until dark golden brown. Turn salmon over; remove skillet from heat. The salmon should flake easily after additional 5 minutes in skillet. Transfer to plates; spoon Dill-Butter sauce over. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs.
To serve, spoon Cherry Tomato Risotto (see recipe on the following slide) onto plate. Arrange Sautéed Broccolini (see recipe here) on top of risotto. Place seared salmon over risotto and broccolini. Garnish with some of remaining tomatoes. Ladle 2 tablespoons Dill-Butter Sauce over top of dish. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs.
*Tip: Dill-Butter Sauce can be prepared one day ahead without adding dill. Cover and chill sauce. To serve, transfer to medium saucepan. Gently reheat over medium low heat. Stir in dill.
Cherry Tomato Risotto
Cherry Tomato Confit:
• 1 pint heirloom cherry tomatoes (10 ounces)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 4 cups chicken stock or broth
• 2 tablespoons oil reserved from Cherry Tomato Confit
• 3 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
• 1-1/2 cups Arborio rice
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese|
• Kosher salt
For Cherry Tomato Confit, in medium saucepan combine tomatoes, oil, shallots, garlic, and thyme. Cook over medium-low heat 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (It is very important to not let tomatoes "fry" but simply "poach" in warm oil.) Remove from heat when tomatoes begin to soften. Strain olive oil; reserve oil for risotto. Remove thyme; discard. Set aside tomato-shallot mixture.
For Risotto, in medium saucepan, bring stock to boil; reduce heat. Simmer to keep hot while preparing risotto. In large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. When butter has melted add shallots. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until shallot is tender.
Add rice. Cook and stir with wooden spoon so that grains are coated with oil and melted butter. Cook and stir 5 minutes more. Add wine and cook while stirring, until liquid is fully absorbed
Add ladle of hot chicken stock to rice (about 1/2 cup at a time). Stir until liquid is fully absorbed. When rice appears almost dry, add another ladle of stock and repeat process. (Note: It is important to stir constantly, especially while hot stock gets absorbed, to prevent scorching.) Add next ladle as soon as rice is almost dry.
Continue adding hot stock, 1 ladle at a time, stirring constantly. As it cooks, rice will take on creamy consistency as it begins to release its natural starches.
Continue adding stock, 1 ladle at a time, 20 to 25 minutes or until grains are tender but still firm to the bite, without being crunchy. If you run out of stock and risotto is still not done, finish cooking using hot water, adding water as you did the stock, 1 ladle at a time, stirring while it's absorbed.*
Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter, cream, and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with kosher salt. Fold in half of Cherry Tomato Confit. Serve as directed in Pan-Seared Salmon recipe. Makes 8 servings.
*Tip: Risotto can be cooked ahead to save on last minute prep. For planning purposes, schedule 20 minutes for prep and 30 minutes cooking time. Prepare as directed adding all the stock. Remove from heat; cover up to 1 hour. Right before serving, return pan to medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup hot water, stirring constantly to gently reheat risotto. If risotto is too thick, add additional hot water 2 tablespoons at a time. Stir in remaining butter, cheese, cream, and Cherry Tomato Confit as directed in recipe.
Braised Broccolini
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut up
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic (2 cloves)
• 1 teaspoon finely snipped fresh thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound broccolini, trimmed and halved crosswise (trim stems, if desired)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
In 12-inch skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; cook and stir 30 seconds. Add broccolini and 1 tablespoon lemon juice; cook 10 to 12 minutes or until crisp tender, stirring occasionally.
Phyllo Tart with Goat Cheese and Riesling-Poached Cherries
You'll have enough Cardamom Candied Pecans to garnish the desserts and send everyone home with a gift of these addictive nuts. If just preparing nuts to garnish desserts reduce pecans to 2 cups, brown sugar to 1/3 cup, cardamom to 1/2 teaspoon, salt to 1/4 teaspoon, and butter to 1/4 cup.
Cardamom Candied Pecans:
• 6 cups pecan halves
• 1-1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom (more or less to taste)
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
Riesling-Poached Cherries:
• 1/2 cup Riesling white wine
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 (3-inch) stick cinnamon
• 2 pounds dark sweet cherries, pitted (24 ounces pitted cherries)
Tart Shells:
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 of 16-ounce package frozen phyllo dough, thawed (20 9x14-inch sheets)
Goat Cheese "Buttercream":
• 20 ounces goat cheese
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon finely shredded orange peel (zest)
• Honey
For Cardamom Candied Pecans, preheat oven to 325°F. In large bowl combine pecan halves, brown sugar, cardamom, and salt. Stir in 3/4 cup melted butter. Spread pecan mixture into roasting pan. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until sugar bubbles and pecans are golden brown, stirring twice. Remove from oven and carefully mix with rubber spatula. Transfer to piece of foil. Let cool completely. Reserve 2 cups for recipe. (Package remaining pecans as take-home gift for guests.)
For Riesling-Poached Cherries, in medium saucepan, combine wine, sugar, and cinnamon stick. Bring to boil; reduce heat to low. Add cherries; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes. Cherries should be soft but not mushy. Strain cherries and cinnamon; reserving liquid. Discard cinnamon stick. Return liquid to pan. Bring to boil; reduce heat and gently boil to reduce mixture to syrup. (You should have 1/2 cup syrup). Remove from heat and cool. Once syrup has cooled, stir in cherries. Set aside.
For Tart Shells, increase oven temperature to 350°F. Unroll phyllo dough. Brush 12 (2-1/2-inch) muffin cups with some of melted butter; set aside. Keep phyllo dough covered with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Lay one sheet of phyllo on flat work surface. Lightly brush phyllo dough with some of melted butter. Top with another phyllo sheet, brushing top with melted butter. Repeat with 8 more sheets of phyllo dough. Cut phyllo stack into 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 -inch squares. Gently press each square into prepared cup, pleating as needed to fit. Repeat with remaining sheets of phyllo. Bake 15 minutes or until cups are golden brown. Carefully transfer cups to wire rack to cool completely. (If you do not have 12 muffin cups, bake phyllo cups in batches. Cool muffin pan between batches.)
For Goat Cheese "Buttercream," in large mixer bowl, combine goat cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed 5 minutes or until mixture is light and fluffy. Stir in orange peel. Cover; chill until ready to use.
To assemble, place one tart shell in center of plate. Transfer goat cheese mixture to pastry bag fitted with star tip. Pipe about 1/4 cup of goat cheese mixture into tart shell. Spoon some poached cherries over assembled tart and around plate. Garnish with candied pecans. Drizzle honey on and around tart. Makes 12 servings.

Demi Lovato Believes That Mermaids + Aliens Are Real [VIDEO]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
When Demi Lovato paid a visit to 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' last night (June 4), she did more than just show off her new purple locks — she also talked about her belief that both aliens and mermaids exist. Yes, you read that right!
"I KNOW that they're real," she emphasized when the talk show host asked her if she thought aliens existed. "How self-centered would we be, as humans, to believe that we are the only living things in the universe?"
"Well, call me self-centered, 'cause I don't believe in aliens," Meyers replied, laughing.
But Lovato stuck to her theory, revealing that she is a "big fan of conspiracy theories" before launching into her speech on the existence of mermaids.
"I believe that there could possibly be mermaids, which is actually an alien species that live in parts of the Indian Ocean which we have never explored before as human beings," she explained. "And Christopher Columbus had actually seen three mermaids on his way to America."
She then revealed that she saw an "extremely convincing documentary" about the existence of mermaids on the Discovery Channel ("'The Little Mermaid'?" Meyers quipped) but "the next day they had to say it was fake and then it went missing," Lovato said, eyes widening.
When Meyers asked if she thought they looked like the kind of mermaids illustrated in books, Lovato realized she dug herself in a deeper hole than she first thought.
"No, I mean, they look like aliens," she replied, cringing (and laughing!) at her answer.
We may not be on board with her theories, but if sea sirens did exist, we think they'd be pretty jealous of Demi Lovato's mermaid-like locks.
Watch Demi explain her alien and mermaid theories in the video above!
