Congratulations to my mom for directing the choir at another Christmas Candlelight Service at Moore's Chapel Methodist church in Blake, Maryland. That service is celebrating its 60th year, and Mom has been involved for about 50 of those. She stresses out over the production for weeks, months, leading up to the night, practically collapsing after some practices, and then the service always comes off in beautiful fashion.
I bet many of you are involved in similar events this Christmas season, as well. Good luck!

Thursday marks the final day to share your thoughts on the controversial Common Core State Standards.
The state Department of Education has been collecting emails and online comments since September, when Gov. Rick Scott called for more public feedback on the national benchmarks.
So far, the department has received almost 16,000 submissions, including a 74-page document from former state Board of Education member Roberto Martinez. (The file includes a 6-page letter and four attachments.)
Martinez, an attorney and parent, makes the case for the Common Core. He argues that students in Florida need more rigorous standards and higher expectations. "The CCSS are benchmarked to internationally competitive levels in English and math," he writes. "They are designed to ensure that our students are learning the best standards taught in the world today."

LAURINBURG, N.C. - Sophomore guard Brittany Cox (Winston-Salem, NC) tallied a game-high 24 points leading Pfeiffer University to a convincing 84-55 win over St. Andrews in Conference Carolinas women's basketball at Harris Court. Defense played a huge role for Pfeiffer as they improve to 5-9 overall, 4-4 in league play. The loss keeps the Lady Knights winless at 0-12, 0-6.
Pfeiffer wasted no time in grabbing the lead off the opening tip. Kellie Rhoney (Catawba, NC) grabbed the jump ball, went the distance, drew contact and drained both ensuing free throws. The visitors held the lead for the entire first half going up by a dozen with nine minutes remaining on a hook shot by Christina Harvey (Locust Grove, VA). Minutes later, Cox drained three of her 17 first-half points from long range giving Pfeiffer a 29-16 advantage.
Defense took over late in the second half for the Lady Falcons as they held St. Andrews scoreless for more than five minutes. On the offensive side of the floor, Vontreece Hayes (Thomasville, NC) dropped in five quick points in a two minute span that helped put Pfeiffer up 19, 35-16 with 4:27 until the break. A pair of free throws by Kia Rice (Salisbury, NC) and Shelley Reese (Brown Summitt, NC) with under a minute left guided the Lady Falcons into the locker room with a 43-21 halftime lead.
The second half saw Pfeiffer open up its 22-point halftime lead as a jumper by Vontenea Williams (Granite Falls, NC) put the visitors up 19 just five minutes in. Solid defense again held the Lady Knights scoreless for several minutes as another layup by Harvey pushed the advantage to 60-26 coming up on the halfway point of the period. The Lady Falcons finished off the evening with a pair of free throws by Hayes and another triple by Cox seconds later.
The Lady Falcon defense forced 26 St. Andrews turnovers coming up with 16 steals. Pfeiffer registered 20 points off of those multiple turnovers.
Pfeiffer will look to continue their winning ways on Saturday traveling to Belmont Abbey for a 5:30 p.m. tip.

Hey guys, I'll try to break it down. My boyfriend (USA) and I (UK) plan to move to Prague soon. He has type 1 diabetes. It seems that health insurance for foreigners does not cover pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes (which is wonderfully lumped in with AIDS and addictions, thanks guys). Is there any way to cover the costs of insulin and other diabetic supplies with insurance there? I was wondering if some kind of travel insurance would work for the first few months, but now I'm finding it really hard to find information of what travel insurance for US citizens actually covers. So, any idea how much insulin supplies would actually cost there? I have been searching for ages and just can't find anything helpful. We're both getting really down, now, as we were just starting to get excited about moving there.

The Czech healthcare system took much better care of me than the U.S. But I don't know how hard the care would be for diabetes. Hospital stay will be expensive without insurance. A doc visit to the private clinic that I went to on Narodni Trida was 1000 kc first visit and then 500 kc after. I used this clinic before I got the good ole VZP. They are a million times better than the American or Canadian Clinic that charges typical American fees.

I do not live in Czech, but I lived 6 years in Poland and am in my 2nd year in Ukraine. Here is what I my experience has been: the insurance you get from a language school does not and will not cover prescriptions, which includes insulin. Your boyfriend is most likely going to have to buy insulin and test strips like any other prescription. Surprisingly, though, test strips and insulin are cheaper in Europe and in the States; so he should be able to afford them. In Poland 100 strips was about $30, in Ukraine it's about $65. If he's on Humalog - it will be more expensive, but still nowhere near what it costs in the States. So, I would simply factor-in paying for this stuff to whatever budget you have.

do we need a sign for everything?
yesterday I was driving with my family through the Wild and Wonderful turns and twists of the road that passes through Rocky Mountain National Park
much like every other tour-on in the park we made a number of stops
we stopped for scenic overlooks
we stopped to pee
we stopped to see elk
we stopped and saw elk while we peed
at one of our stops, perhaps the highest stretch of road in the park
two miles high
there were all sorts of mountain chipmunks and mountain squirrels
we stopped to take in the view, but hardly looked past the nearly domesticated vermin at our feet
while I guided my children to be cautious of the overly comfortable and curious little animals
I told them not to feed the animals
by my side was one of the many overly large american tourists breaking open a bag of sunflower seeds
I informed here that we are not supposed to feed the animals
she said that there was no sign
I said... that there were signs everywhere
she said she had not seen them
I asked if she had seen the Yogi Bear cartoon as a child...
then told her that it was common sense
to that she told me, my children, and her fat children with nascar t-shirts and rat tails that I am a f-ckhead
seconds later Ranger Bob rolled up and told us not to feed the animals as I was instructing my older son to mimic the action of feeding the animals to get a shot of him along with the local critters
to this I thought about our world of signs....
so many signs exist
so many signs are ignored
I say.... take down the signs... take down all the signs
take down the sign with the icon of the camera telling the tourist of the photo opportunity
if they do not see that this is a great place to take the picture then well... they do not need the picture
take down the warning sign of the sharp curve as it may allow natural selection to rid us of a few undesireables
take all the signs down
take them all down
take a few year break
lets put the signs up again
as the signs for the most part go unseen
maybe we could put up the signs and have them be a tad more effective if they are noticed
Boulder has great signs
Boulder has great bicycle related signs
the cyclists have rights... so the cyclists tend to obey the law
In Washington DC, the cyclist has no rights
the cyclist in Washington DC grits their teeth, throws out their elbows and takes what they can
the DC cyclist takes what it gets... the law does not protect them... so the law does not apply to them
in Boulder, the laws instruct the cars how to behave around cyclists and the laws instruct the cars how to behave around cyclists
it is a much more civil world than the anarchy that is Washington DC
that is really two different thoughts..
but that is how my mind rolls

"Signs, signs, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?"
The problem, as you said is that people seem to ignore (or not see) the signs. It seems stupid, but we have flashing stop signs at some intersections here. They were supposed to be temporary till people got used to having the signs there. Then they were supposed to be replaced with normal stop signs. But when they removed the flashers, people ignored them. Or they didn't see them anymore. They put the flashers back up.
It reminds me of the cartoons where the crooks hideout would be so obvious that they might as well have some signs out front. But only the super-heros could see what was obvious.

the signs seem to be nothing more than an eyesore in so many cases
we all know the law
do we need a sign telling us not to steal or kill?
would that help?
seems that we need to modify our system of penalization
shaming seems to work
perhaps we could get more active on shaming obnoxious drivers
drunk drivers
red light runners
double parkers
a big sticker on the door
"I am a ASSHOLE WHO DOUBLE PARKS"
something to that effect
bet that would keep them from parking in the company lot
it is worth a try
may get people out of their cars
maybe taking their cars away would be the best resolve
I would be willing to shame them first
"I am an ASSHOLE who parks anywhere with no concern for anyone else...."
I would put one of those stickers on all the people in DC who think that because they are going to church they get to park in cars while they are at some service with some big hat
man that bugs me
seems that they do not even break even with their church visit and their double parking

I'm new to Sublime Text. I've tried the editor several times before but I wasn't ready to leave Notepad++. I was mainly disappointed because the macros seem buggy and I was using these a lot at the time. Now I gave the editor another try and so far I'm delighted. I need some help though. In Scintilla based editors like Notepad++ you have this feature that you can scroll the document up/down with the keyboard without moving the cursor. It is done by pressing Ctrl + Up/Down. It is extremely handy because when you type near the border of the document you can scroll and see further without the need of leaving the keyboard to touch the mouse and without moving the cursor from what you are typing. In Sublime Text Ctrl + Up/Down does nothing though and I couldn't find how to do. It there a similar shortcut and if not is it possible to create one somehow?
It's working the same in ST2.If ctrl+up/down doesn't work for you it's probably related to a plugin that steal these keybindings.
edit:do you use Emmet ?
edit2:Forgot there's a bug with this feature in current build:
Yep, I think it was Emmet that was stealing my keys. Sorry for the spam.

Take a gander at the iconic Norman Rockwell painting "The Runaway" and the fond gaze by the little boy looking at the state trooper in the diner.
That little boy might as well be Nathan Norman. Law enforcement, medical personnel and firefighters are his heroes and they have stepped up to give the boy, who has a brain tumor, his Christmas wish.
Nathan, who will turn 6 a few days after Christmas, wanted badges, patches and other memorabilia from public safety departments. The endeavor started in September but since word of the boy's fight against cancer and his wish have spread, boxes of cards, gifts and personal visits from public safety officials from across the country has flooded the Norman family home in Rustburg, Va.
A crew of public safety officials from New England is heading to Virginia to visit the boy Dec. 20. Included in that group are officers from the Worcester Police Department.
"We feel we have to step up and do this for this little boy," Worcester Police Sgt. Mark J. Sawyer said. "We can all take a little time out of our busy schedules because it means a lot to him."
The sergeant learned about Nathan through an email sent out by a sergeant in another department. Word spread across New England and now more than 50 agencies are participating.
"We have an awesome job with awesome responsibilities," Sgt. Sawyer said. "Anyone who hears his story is obviously touched right away by it."
News agencies from all over have been calling the Normans' home. Packages and mail from every delivery company imaginable have been dropped off for Nathan and his three siblings.
"It just went global," Nathan's father, Bobby Norman, said in a telephone interview. "I never realized how they were cut (public safety officials) until this. In my eyes these people are cut from a swath that is unlike anybody else."
Nathan was diagnosed roughly three years ago and has undergone surgeries and chemotherapy. Doctors have not given a timetable on how long the little boy has to live, but the next phase of treatment will be clinical trials.
"The doctors told us the longer it stays in his brain the less chance he has to live," Mr. Norman said.
Receiving six trays of mail with cards covering them isn't abnormal now. The boy even played around with robots used to diffuse bombs.
Some of those cards will come from Worcester police officers after Officer Gary Kleiner bought three boxes of cards for fellow officers to sign.
"I read a story and felt terrible for the young lad," Officer Kleiner said. "All I have to do is send him a card? That's not a big deal. It's such an easy thing to do. If it is going to make him happy, why not do it?"
Officers from the city are using their own money and funds from the Massachusetts Police Association to pay for the trip. The Worcester Gang Unit packaged shirts for the family; there are patches, a junior Worcester police officer plastic badge and Christmas gifts for all of the Norman children.
"It is the least these guys felt they could do," Worcester Deputy Police Chief Steven M. Sargent said. "These are the reasons we joined the department, to help people. This is one of those things. Our hearts go out. We all have kids. Whatever we can do to make Nathan's life a little better, we're certainly going to do it."
Calling Nathan a warrior, Mr. Norman said that hearing public safety officials call his son a hero draws a smile to the little boy's face.
"There are so many children out there with cancer and for Nathan to get the reception and loving kindness he has received, it is a gift," Mr. Norman said. "We need to find a cure for every possible cancer for kids there is."

appicchato wrote: In spades...
And no one responded about that after that. So I thought it might be interesting to examine some of the Western cultural baggage (or not?) We'll see if this is a good idea or not.tiltbillings wrote:For example?
I'll get it started with some possibilities and you can add any additional or of course disagree.
1. Less interest in rites, rituals, and ceremonies. This attachment is a hindrance to the Path to awakening (sīlabbata-parāmāso), so perhaps a useful cultural item. Many in the west came to Buddhism out of skepticism and wanting something beyond traditional rites and ceremonies, so perhaps a positive development.
2. Mindfulness meditation for stress-relief, self-help. Perhaps a good skillful means, but it could lead to the practice being relegated to a self-help exercise or a fad and then never take root as a religion in the West.
3. Rebirth as irrelevant, not necessary to the practice or for being Buddhist in the West. The suttas are permeated with discussion of rebirth . . . here I was this person, this was my name, my family, etc. Or perhaps a skillful means as well to allow more people access to the Dhamma and out of suffering who otherwise may not have been interested, feeling that rebirth belief is "too religious" or traditional.
4. Left-wing politics, left of center or socialist. During the time of the Buddha there were several rich merchants who gave land and built monasteries to the Sangha and the Buddha never condemned their acquisition of wealth. On the other hand, left of center politics seems compatible with less attachments, compassion, and generosity.
Personally, I see numbers 1 and 4 as mostly positive developments. Even though I am a capitalist, by U.S. standards I am left-wing since I am anti-war and support health care for all and nationalized utilities, including big oil. Numbers 2 and 3 I think could potentially make the Dhamma a fad, possibly a passing fad like Kabbalah and some other movements which lost a lot of steam.
Thoughts? Additional ones? Disagree?

DALLAS — A crime-watch volunteer suspected of raping four women in a Dallas neighborhood has been arrested more than 400 miles away after police traced him to a Louisiana motel, police said Tuesday.
Van Dralan Dixson, 38, was arrested in Baton Rouge, La., where he is being held in jail awaiting his return to Texas, Dallas Police Maj. Jeff Cotner said. Police said DNA evidence has so far linked Dixson to four sexual assaults in Dallas' Fair Park neighborhood, where investigators believe as many as nine rapes this summer are linked to the same attacker.
Cotner said "contacts" between Dixson and individuals in Dallas helped track him to the motel, but he said no other details would be released until Wednesday.
Dallas authorities briefly took Dixson into custody last week and obtained a DNA sample from him, but they lacked evidence to bring charges at the time. Dixson was charged Saturday in one of the attacks, but police found his abandoned car the next day in a Dallas suburb.
Arrest warrants charge Dixson with four counts of aggravated sexual assault. DNA test results from two other attacks were pending, while DNA evidence from two more in the inner-city neighborhood were not available, Cotner has said.
Neighbors said that as a crime-watch volunteer, Dixson would patrol the streets several times a week.
"He just walks every night, all night," one resident, Billy Washington, told Dallas television station WFAA. "Every time I would look out my window, or out my door, he was walking."
Dixson has been part of the area's neighborhood crime-watch group, the Mill City Community Association, since January. The group's president, Alendra Lyons, didn't return messages from The Associated Press.
State criminal records show Dixson was arrested and convicted of aggravated robbery in 1993. He was also arrested as recently as last month on a deadly conduct charge, according to Dallas County records.
Authorities say they believe one man is responsible for the nine sexual assaults that have been reported in the Fair Park area since June. In each incident, the attacker approached his victims in the early morning hours, forced them to secluded areas nearby, then robbed and sexually assaulted them.
The assailant in each case was armed with a handgun, wore shorts and a T-shirt, and masked his face using various types of cloth, according to police. The victims said they were approached on foot.
A $15,000 reward has been offered for information leading to arrests and an indictment in the cases.

Amy Mumma, Central Washington University's Director of the Institute of Wine, Beverages and Gastronomy, is leaving CWU to pursue wine industry opportunities in France. She will base her activities in Aix-en-Provence, a region that has been producing wine, notably rosé, for more than 2,600 years. Mumma will be leaving at the end of May.
"Although I'm leaving Central, I hope to continue to be a resource to my graduates and the Washington wine industry," said Mumma, whose extensive contacts in the world of wine have helped further her students' careers. "I would also like to thank the many people at CWU who have made this program a success."
"Amy Mumma's achievements for CWU and for the region have been truly incredible. She has been a tremendous member of our community and will be sorely missed," said Marilyn Levine, CWU Provost. "I know I speak for the campus when I wish her well during the exciting years ahead and am quite certain that she will continue to contribute to the appreciation and development of the wine industry."
Mumma developed the World Wine Program at CWU in 2003, which offers academic programs including Global Wine Studies, the only four-year degree in international business in the United States. The program also includes the Wine Trade Professional Certificate, a Professional Sommelier Certificate and a Wine Trade and Tourism minor. In addition, the World Wine program offers training for wine industry members and consumer courses.
Mumma, who holds an MBA in Wine from the University of Bordeaux Business School, the Advanced Certificate of Wine and Spirits from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust in London, and a Diploma of Tasting from the Université de Bourgogne in Dijon, France was awarded the prestigious title, Professional Wine Woman 2005-2006, the top award of the International Wine Women Awards in Paris. In 2008, she was named Western Innovator by the Capital Press and she was recognized in the Congressional Record by Congressman Doc Hastings for her contributions to the wine industry.
Mumma has been involved in the Washington and international wine industry in many roles including education, internships, study abroad programs, judging, presenting and writing about wine. In 2011 and 2012, she was chosen as the chief judge at the International Beverage Exposition and Competition (IBEC) in Shenzhen China, one of the largest beverage conventions in the world.

If they accomplished anything Tuesday, the Board of County Commissioners and Port St. Joe Commissioners sat down at the same table.
If they accomplished anything Tuesday, the Board of County Commissioners and Port St. Joe Commissioners sat down at the same table.
After sniping over an interlocal agreement for months, commissioners spent 90 minutes poring over the document in order to agree on any revisions.
No decisions were made at what was a workshop.
And no agreement was reached on the two central issues: amending the interlocal to change how a fire tax for WindMark Beach is collected and the moving of the Port St. Joe Redevelopment Agency from the Gulf County Tourist Development Council Welcome Center, which is leased to the TDC by the city.
Near the conclusion of the workshop, County Commissioner Joanna Bryan urged city commissioners to allow the PSJRA, which is currently paying rent for two office spaces and is largely operating out of boxes, to move by the end of June.
Bo Spring, a director on the PSJRA board, said he would make a motion at the PSJRA�s meeting on Thursday to allow the move and hoped the city would be supportive.
When asked by the county to allow the move, the city of Port St. Joe balked for several reasons and asked the county to revisit the fire tax issue, which the city urged would be divided among the three volunteer fire departments that respond to WindMark Beach.
The development of WindMark Beach and annexation by the city resulted in the interlocal agreement the two sides signed in 2005.
The city sought an amendment to the fire tax issue almost two years ago, said Mayor Mel Magidson.
He said the county request to move the PSJRA provided an opening to again broach the subject.
He said Bryan�s assertion that the fire tax and PSJRA move were linked was �far-fetched.�
And he noted that the county�s response to the city�s request was to allow the city to collect the fire tax in return for conveying to the county the land on which the Welcome Center sits and the city taking over fire protection in Oak Grove, an unincorporated area.
�Now, those two are not linked to the interlocal agreement,� Magidson said. �I�d like to be treated the way the county wants to be treated.�
Bryan countered that she was not talking about linkage as much as �logic.� She said elected officials must be stewards of every tax dollar and it made no �logical sense� to continue to hold up the PSJRA move.
City Commissioner Rex Buzzett said he was the commissioner who broached the PSJRA move, in large part because he did not want PSJRA operational costs to increase due to the move.
He said the lease agreement for the Welcome Center includes several provisions the county has not fully followed.
�We have agreements and we are both going to have to live by these agreements,� Buzzett said. �Let�s keep working on these agreements.�
Yeager added, �We do have agreements but we haven�t always bound to them.�
The fire tax issue was among 15 items commissioners reviewed with attorneys, staff and the public present.
In general, there was much common ground on the majority of the 15 items, some remain to further fleshed out, better defined or amended in their entirety.
That included a guarantee that all users of the city�s water and sewer, in the city limits or out, are charged identically.
Bryan, as she did at the previous BOCC meeting, was hesitant about amending the agreement at all.
�The city wanted to annex WindMark Beach and agreed to these provisions,� Bryan said. �I think this is a big issue to go in and change this agreement.�
City attorney Tom Gibson noted that the agreement was likely most important to Bryan because her predecessor representing District 3 drew up much of the agreement on the county side.
�Much of what is in here is because (former commissioner) Mr. (Bill) Williams wanted it in there,� Gibson said.
Commissioners will be provided a revised document, based on comments made Tuesday, in the coming weeks to consider for a formal vote.
�I appreciate everyone coming,� Yeager said. �It�s been a productive workshop. Most of our constituents are the same. It behooves us all for us to work together.�

Well, Florida almost made it. It had been a quiet offseason with zero player run-ins with the law. Incoming freshman Jalen Tabor has had a minor brush with the law enforcement. While that is an extremely disappointing start for this talented young man's career it could be worse. This was not a major offense. More importantly, this was NOT a veteran player that was expected to be a leader. I have always thought that offseason arrests tend to be a bad omen of the current mentality of the team. Clearly, such altercations are not always indicative of the success or lack thereof in the upcoming season but team discipline and attitude does make a difference. Which got me thinking about just how are the Gators' opponents faring this offseason?
So I went web surfing researching arrest around the SEC. First, I want to qualify this up front, while I have searched multiple key words this is not a comprehensive list by any means. These are just the ones I found through a fairly simple web search.
With the DUI arrest of DL Jarran Reed, Alabama has had at least four arrests in 2014. The Tide had four players arrested and dismissed in early 2013. Is it possible that things are starting to slip out of Nick Saban's control in Tuscaloosa? Saban seemed to have his players on lock-down before then. There was seldom any sign that things were not all rosy at Alabama. Along with Reed, three running backs have had brushes with the law this year.
I found three 2014 arrests for Missouri led by the arrest and dismissal of star receiver Dorial Green-Beckham. Green-Beckham had multiple issues arise. The Tigers' issues have included the basketball team as well putting Missouri in a tie with Georgia for the most student-athletes arrested in the SEC since July 1 2012 at 16. The Tigers are certain to feel the loss of Green-B eckham.
Speaking of Georgia, the Bulldogs have had their share of arrests this offseason resulting in the loss of three defensive backs. Troubled Tray Mathews is transferring to Auburn while Shaq Wiggins and Josh Harvey-Clemons will end up joining underachieving defensive coordinator Todd Grantham at Louisville. And people wonder why I have been so against any thoughts of bring Bobby Pitrino to Florida. Hmmm.
Texas A&M has had seven arrests since the end of the 2013 season. The Aggies dismissed LB Darian Claiborne and DL Isaiah Golden following February arrests. Head Coach Kevin Sumlin probably needs to put in some overtime stabilizing the program after the departure of out of control Johnny Manziel.
Tennessee had a cool dozen current and former football players arrested or cited in one sitting back in February related to underage drinking. Of course, underage drinking is hardly breaking news at a university and there won't be any long term effects from this incident. LSU had defensive back Jalen Mills arrested for second-degree battery and dismissed from the team. Kentucky had a player arrested in January, South Carolina one in March and Auburn one in June. The list seems to go on and on. Arkansas had three players arrested in June for burglarizing dorm rooms. Mississippi State had an arrest for burglary and Ole Miss had one for disorderly conduct.
Of the fourteen Southeastern Conference schools, Vanderbilt and Florida were the only teams that did have any brushes with the law. Not that is just Vandy. Of course, there could be arrests I didn't find. And don't fool yourself, this is not confined to the SEC. The Miami Hurricanes just had two players arrested for sexual assault, FSU has dismissed two players this year and don't even get me started on Jameis Winston. Ohio State has just suspended DB Tracy Sprinkle for cocaine and rioting charges following a bar brawl.
The problem is clearly rampant throughout colleges everywhere. Thus, I consider Florida's relatively quiet offseason to be an accomplishment that Will Muschamp should get some credit for since the program seemed to be in need of some severe cleaning up when he arrived. Again, there is almost two months left before the season and the Gators could get hit hard with arrests between now and then, but hopefully not. I would like to think that this is a sign that this team has some player leadership and its head in the right place in July. We shall see. Until practice starts, no news is good news.

It's no secret that Microsoft's online gaming service Games For Windows Live has its share of critics — but apparently Batman isn't one of them.
As confirmed by VG247, Batman: Arkham City will be released as a GFWL title, following in the footsteps of its wildly successful predecessor, Batman: Arkham Asylum. The news comes on the heels of varying reports regarding the online platform the game will use for its PC-based incarnations.
So, sorry Steamworks fans, but is the news really that surprising? After all, Bruce Wayne always struck us as a Microsoft sort of guy anyways.
Even if the news is a bit of a downer for some PC-gaming fans, there's still a lot to be happy about regarding Rocksteady's upcoming sequel to Arkham Asylum. For example, there's that ridiculously cool Mr. Freeze trailer that premiered earlier this month. Go watch it again to cheer yourself up.
There's also the the previously released Arkham City trailer featuring The Penguin, and those photos of the Batman: Arkham City Collector's Edition package. (Those always work for me, at least.)
Batman: Arkham City hits shelves October 18 in the U.S. for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and of course, PC.

To everyone who takes cooking seriously, blender is regarded as one of the best and most useful innovation. A good blender saves you time, trouble and money. The first two savings are obvious and the third will become obvious to you once you've finished reading this article.
It is amazing how a piece of metal blade attached to a motor can accomplish so much. This simple piece of concept is what we found in our blenders today. Yet, the blender product family just gets bigger and bigger.
Nowadays, if you talk about blender, you have to know exactly what you want it to do. If you ask anyone what the best blender on the market is, don't be surprised that if you do not get a single answer to the question. The answer depends on who you ask and what she does with her blenders.

How to Identify the Best Blenders
One common mistake that most people committed when they are searching for their first blender is to jump straight into finding the best blender. Without knowing all the important things that constitute a high quality blender, going through the piles of blender reviews is a painful process. It is like looking for a needle in haystack.
Let's start with the basics.
The Blade Material
If you do your research thoroughly, you will find that the blade material used in almost all of today's blenders is stainless steel.
Most folks assume that stainless steel is just stainless steel and regardless of the brand – Vitamix, Blendtec or Ninja – the quality will be the same. It is just a stainless steel, anyway. Right?
Wrong. It is good to know that there are different grades of stainless steel. The grade determines quality and as far as blender blade is concerned, quality is often measured in terms of ductility strength (durability) and corrosion resistant.
The Blade Design
The blade design is one that is most commonly taken for granted. This is not surprising considering the fact that there has not been significant innovation attempts from most of the blender manufacturers.
The most common blade design that you see is one that highly resembles the shape of flower petals. This is usually composed of 4 metal pieces, with two facing down and the other two facing up.
If you have ever owned and used a blender, I bet you would have encountered several occasions (at least) where your berry, nuts or ice cubes, get stuck at the bottom of the jar. What I would typically do is to lift the jar up and do some shaking. It depends on what you are trying to blend and the design of your blender. It might take few attempts before you eventually get smooth or even results.
Not quite a complete breakdown, but it can really be frustrating especially if you do it every day (such as making your daily morning berry smoothies).
Read more about why blade design is important
The Motor
Blade alone does not cut. It does the cutting or chopping when it is rotated at high speed. This is achieved by attaching the blade to a motor beneath it.
There are two different specifications that are commonly used by blender manufacturers to show off. First is the motor power and second is the rpm speed.
Which do you trust? Let's see.
Simply stating the motor power is only telling half of the picture. To get the full picture, you need to see how the armature is being mounted. Blenders of lower grade quality use bushing mechanism while those of higher grade quality use bearing mechanims.
A lot of comparison has been made between the two mechanisms. Some Vitamix reviews claim lower noise for their Vitamix blenders. Some Blendtec reviews their motor design is superior than others.
In principle, it is down to one simple thing. The bearing mechanism is going to be more effective in driving the blade compared to the bushing mechanism.
What does this mean? It means that if you have the same motor power, but one is using the bushing and the other is using the bearing, the latter is going to produce higher rpm.
Keep in mind that higher rpm alone also does not give the full picture. Say Blender-A specifies 30,000rpm but it gets stuck the moment you drop an ice cube in. Blender-B on the other hand, specifies 20,000rpm but it crushes those ice cubes perfectly, each time.
Which is better? You have the answer.
Do understand that different blender manufacturers use different set up to establish the rpm specifications. The different material density (that they are blending while testing) is what determines the rpm result.
You may call it half-truth or gimmick or whatever, but that's life. Get on with it and stop whining. That's why it is important to do your own homework and go through some of the blender reviews before making your decision.
The Noise Level
The noise level generated by your smoothie maker could be important but could also be unimportant. Do you know why?
If you always make that energy-packed banana smoothies early in the morning before the kids jump out from their beds, then you might want to give careful scrutiny to the noise level performance.
If you are in love with a blender, I have to warn that finding out about its noise level is one of the hardest thing to do. This is one aspect of blender performance that can only be discovered either through well-thought blender reviews or your personal experience.
The Cleaning
Cleaning your blender after each use is one thing that you wouldn't want to skip. Clean your blender poorly and there are few dire consequences that you have to bear.
First of all, poorly cleaned blender will leave the blade to potential corrosion. It depends on the blender that you have. Some blenders come with poor customer service and some may have poor lifespan. If your blender has reached its end of life, then finding replacements might be tricky. For blenders in the lower price range, getting a brand new unit makes more sense than the hassle that you have to go through.
The other problem is the bacteria that is left accumulated if your blender is not cleaned properly. If you watch Dr. Oz's show, you might have heard how in one of the episodes, it was revealed that blender gasket is one corner of the kitchen with the most germs.
I would advise against taking the cleanliness of your blender too lightly. I know how painful it can be when it comes to cleaning your blender. That's why choosing the right blender that allows easy cleaning cannot be more important.
The Speed Control
Speed control is important if you need to use your blender for different purposes.
To crush ice cubes effectively, you need a blender that is capable of rotating the blade at high speed. But to pulverize non-frozen fruits and vegetables, you may want to turn to lower speed.
There may not be official guidelines on what speed is best, but it is generally accepted that higher blade speed tends to cause oxidation to your fruits and vegetables. Expect certain degree of nutrients and fibre loss.
One thing that is often overlooked in many blender reviews is the heat generated by the high speed motor rotation. The high temperature is not desireable as it can potentially destroy certain essential properties that are key to your ingredients.
In this regard, well designed blenders would be well equipped with cooling fan unit that prevents overheating to the motor. Operation of the cooling fan and the motor at the same time may cause resonance which contribute to the overall noise level of the blender. High-end blenders will usually comes with special fan blade designed to effectively reduce the resonance impact.
The Jar Design
Unless you use your blender regularly, it is hard to understand how important jar design of a blender can be.
First of all, it is good to know that most blender jars are made of either plastic or glass. Plastic jar is always cheaper than glass jar and it is one of the most tangible aspect that separates blenders in the lower price range from those in the other end of the range.
If the jar of the blender that you fell in love with is made of plastic, you want to look out for BPA-free label. It is clear that BPA-based product is harmful to our health. The remaining question is only about what degree it has and what amount of BPA is considered safe. Until such information is clearly established, it is always good to avoid products containing BPA.
Jar design is important. This is evident from the recent product recalls involving such brands as Calphalon, Vitamix and Frigidaire where the recalls were initiated by reports of unsafe jar.
Before You Proceed with Your Blender Reviews
To sum it all, choosing the best blenders cannot be accomplished by the wink of an eye. If you are serious about getting the best blenders that will make the best green smoothies, make sure you know what aspects of blender design are important.
Price is always an important consideration but do not simply eliminate blender models because their price is not right. Think about it based on longer term perspective. Ask yourself how heavy a duty or how frequently you will put your blender to use.
If you are operating on tight budget, refer to Ninja blender reviews. Such Ninja blenders as the Ninja Pro BL660 are popular and inexpensive.
If you need nothing more than a blender that will make single smoothie serving each time, you may want to consider getting the best personal blender.
If you need it to make everything – from smoothies to puree to frappucino – for such reasons as cost saving and healthier living, you do not want to end up buying a low cost blender only to find out that it fails to produce consistent smoothies. Worse still, it will fail after few months and you find yourself hunting for a new blender once again.

As noted by me above, most laptops lack a numpad. That means that the arrows would need to be enabled for movement as well. It works awesomely in the alpha version, and it's a common mechanism for movement in most any game, so why it isn't in the beta client I have no clue.
Not having to bother with the mouse would make this a very much more enjoyable game (it'd be one of only a small number of games that wouldn't require a mouse to work, something I consider a godsend).

U.S. allies were drafting plans for air strikes and other military action against Syria on Tuesday, as President Bashar al-Assad's enemies vowed to punish a poison gas attack that Washington called a "moral obscenity".
"We have no plans to go to war [over this], but we hope that others will think carefully about their own long-term interests," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday.
Although Mr. Lavrov said nothing new, there was a discernibly fresh tone of diplomatic desperation that suggests Moscow has lost hope that a US-led military intervention in Syria can be forestalled, and is now preparing for a changed world in which there will no longer be even a semblance of US-Russian cooperation on Middle Eastern issues like the jointly brokered Geneva peace conference to bring together both sides in the Syrian conflict, reports The Christian Science Monitor.
Facing Russian and Chinese disapproval that will complicate hopes for a united front backed by international law, and keen to win over wary voters at home, Western leaders seem in no rush to pull the trigger. British Prime Minister David Cameron called parliament back from recess for a session on Syria on Thursday.
U.N. experts trying to establish what killed hundreds of civilians in rebel-held suburbs of Damascus last Wednesday were finally able to cross the frontline on Monday to see survivors - despite being shot at in government-held territory. But they put off a second visit until Wednesday.
However, U.S. officials said President Barack Obama already had little doubt Assad's forces were to blame. Turkey, Syria's neighbour and part of the U.S.-led NATO military pact, called it a "crime against humanity" that demanded international reaction.
The Syrian government, which denies using gas, said it would press on with its offensive against rebels around the capital. Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said U.S. strikes would help al Qaeda allies but called Western leaders "delusional" if they hoped to aid the rebels to create a balance of power in Syria.
In Britain, whose forces have supported the U.S. military in a succession of wars, Cameron called for an appropriate level of retribution for using chemical weapons.
"Our forces are making contingency plans," a spokesman for Cameron told reporters. London and its allies would make a "proportionate response" to the "utterly abhorrent" attack.
Top generals from the United States and European and Middle Eastern allies met in Jordan for what could be a council of war.
On Monday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said: "President Obama believes there must be accountability for those who would use the world's most heinous weapons against the world's most vulnerable people ... What we saw in Syria last week should shock the conscience of the world.
"The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable.
"And despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured, it is undeniable."
How such an intervention, likely to be limited to some form of air strike, would affect the course of Syria's civil war is far from clear. Obama, Cameron and French President Francois Hollande face tough questions on how far they want to use force to achieve a long-stated common goal of forcing Assad from power.
Turmoil in Egypt, whose 2011 uprising inspired Syrians to rebel, has underlined the unpredictability of revolutions. And the presence of Islamist militants, including allies of al Qaeda in the Syrian rebel ranks, has given Western leaders pause. They have held back so far from helping Assad's opponents to victory.
Russia, a major arms supplier to Assad, has said rebels may have released the gas and warned against attacking Syria. Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov criticised Washington for cancelling bilateral talks on Syria that were set for Wednesday.
"Working out the political parameters for a resolution in Syria would be exceptionally useful now, when the threat of force hangs over this country," Gatilov wrote on Twitter.
The Syrian conflict has split the Middle East along sectarian lines. Shi'ite Muslim Iran has supported Assad and his Alawite minority against mainly Sunni rebels, some of them Islamists, who have backing from Gulf Arab states.
In Tehran, a foreign ministry spokesman said: "We want to strongly warn against any military attack in Syria. There will definitely be perilous consequences for the region.
"These complications and consequences will not be restricted to Syria. It will engulf the whole region."
Syrian foreign minister Moualem, who insisted the government was trying to help the U.N. inspection team, told a news conference in Damascus that Syria would hit back if attacked.
"We have means of defending ourselves, and we will surprise them with these if necessary," he said. "If we face aggression, we will defend ourselves. We will not hesitate to use any means available. But I will not specify what those would be."
Assad's forces made little or no response to three attacks by Israeli aircraft earlier this year which Israeli officials said disrupted arms flowing from Iran to Lebanon's Hezbollah.
China, which has joined Moscow in vetoing measures against Assad in the U.N. Security Council, is also sceptical of Western readiness to use force to interfere with what it sees as the internal affairs of other countries. Beijing's official news agency ran a commentary on Tuesday recalling the United States invaded Iraq in 2003 on the grounds that it possessed banned weapons - which were never found.
"The recent flurry of consultations between Washington and its allies indicates that they have put the arrow on the bowstring and would shoot even without a U.N. mandate," the Xinhua agency said. "That would be irresponsible and dangerous."
The continued presence of United Nations experts in Damascus may be a factor holding back international military action.
A U.N. statement said the investigators had put off a second visit to the affected areas until Wednesday to prepare better.
Some residents of the capital are getting anxious.
"I've always been a supporter of foreign intervention but now that it seems like a reality, I've been worrying that my family could be hurt or killed because they live near a military installation," said one woman, Zaina, who opposes Assad.
"I'm afraid of a military strike now."
But another woman who supports the president but did not want her name published said she refused to let herself worry:
"Bombing, kidnapping, killing - we face it every day already," she told Reuters.
"If it brings an end to this faster, frankly I'd welcome it. But honestly I don't really believe the Americans will do it."
The Washington Post cited senior U.S. officials as saying Obama is weighing a military strike that would be of limited scope and duration, while keeping the United States out of deeper involvement in the civil war.
Such an attack would probably last no more than two days and see cruise missiles launched from ships - or, possibly, long-range aircraft - striking military targets not directly related to Syria's chemical weapons arsenal, the newspaper said.
Such a move was, it said, dependent on three factors: completion of an intelligence report assessing the Syrian government's culpability in the chemical attack, consultation with allies and the U.S. Congress, and determination of a justification under international law. U.S. warships armed with cruise missiles are already positioned in the Mediterranean.
Opposition activists have said at least 500 people and possibly twice that many were killed when rockets laden with poison, possibly the nerve gas sarin or something similar, landed in areas around Damascus where rebels are holding out in the face of heavy bombardments by government forces.
If confirmed, it would be the worst chemical weapons attack since Saddam Hussein gassed thousands of Iraqi Kurds in 1988.
In Israel, citizens have been queuing up for gas masks in case Assad responds to a Western attack by firing on Israel, as Iraq's Saddam did in 1991.

Julia's "Color Me Coral" Room
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Julia
- Location:
- Albuquerque, NM
- Division:
- Warm
- Inspiration for my palette:
- As a renter, I don't have the option of painting, so I knew I would be working with warm cream walls and white accents. The moment I saw the fabric on the chairs I fell in love and knew the focus colors would be navy. In a moment of clarity, coral became its twin in accents. I didn't want to overwhelm the space with too many competing colors so I focused on the colors as accents rather than main colors.
- Colors used in my room:
- Coral (in various saturations), Navy, White, and Warm Cream
- Tips for using color successfully:
- I believe in starting with neutrals and building your color base around a classic white, cream, or black. If you are anything like me, as soon as you find your inspiration, it's more like room envy - you must-have-it-now! When you limit color to accents then you are free to change up the colors as often as inspiration hits!

As you may know, the global economic depression has hit the media hard, due in large part to the fact that ad rates are in the toilet. OSNews is in the same boat. Despite the fact that we still have good advertisers, our income from advertising this year will only be a fraction of what it was last year. We probably won't make enough to cover our costs. Other news sites, as they've seen revenue decrease, have responded with more, and more intrusive, advertising. We don' t want to do that. We feel we have a covenant with our readers. If you'll be respectful of our need to run ads, we'll be respectful of your need to read the site without having ads shoved down your throat.

OneLessDrop Power Cord Anchor
OneLessDrop Power Cord Anchor
• $25.00
• Heckler Design
We've reviewed a few of Heckler Design's home office accessories in the past, both big and small, and now they're back with their smallest solution for home office organization bliss. A solid hunk of recycled aluminum, the OneLessDrop puts an end to dropping or losing power plugs for the MacBook, iPad, or iPhone off the desk with a dual anchor design; the top groove keeps cords in place, but can be easily removed, while the second slot holds cords more permanently. Nice to see a Kickstarter project come to fruition.
