What Were You Thinking?

What were you thinking when you posted that nasty note about someone on that social network website? Even though you didn't called the person by name you knew he/she was a member of the site and would know you were referring to them. Why couldn't you settle the issue face to face than take the cowardly way of venting your frustrations on the Internet.
What were you thinking posting your sexual adventures online with your friends thinking that it's harmless fun. How is it you keep it hidden from your parents not wanting them to know but freely dispatch your "business" on the Internet for everyone else to see? That don't make no sense at all. If it's a shame to want your parents to know about it what makes you think everyone who reads it approve of your conduct.
What were you thinking posting your body characteristics on your profile page? You think that's cute? Don't you know you have sex predators who roam the Internet just to find young girls and men advertising their "goods" so they can hook up for a fling? And many of these pedophiles are old enough to be your father or mother and they're looking for young fresh meat to seduce.And some young people know these degenerates are older but are playing a game of tease with them. These young fools think they're playing these predators but they are the ones being played.The young prey falls for the craftiness of these seducers and on a dare meet up with them to their eternal regret.
What were you thinking using profanities to describe your anger over things that's not going right with you? If you are a Christian how do you think that's going over with your fellow Christian friends online? Don't you know your character is often judged by the things that you say? There's an old saying that goes first impressions are usually the last meaning that if someone seeing you for the first time caught you acting terrible you are looked on in a negative light even if you don't often behave that way.
What were you thinking by expressing yourself using such bad words don't you know that once you put that out you can never get it back? Such things have a way of coming back to haunt you when you least expect it.Consider if you apply for a job online don't you know many companies check your character references on websites like myspace and facebook? They know that many seeking employment uses these sites and they can determine if you qualify for a job. Even if you have the qualifications to be hired such companies may deny you if they find inappropiate comments on your profile page. That's why you can't just say anything you want and think it won't cost you.
What were you thinking boyfriend or girlfriend when you had that picture taken of you being naked? What happens if you split up and one of you decides to get retribution by sending the photo around to friends via cellphone or the Internet to humiliate and embarrass you? What you thought was a harmless romantic moment has made you the object of ridicule . Now the school administrators have found out and you're in deep trouble maybe facing the prospect of being expelled from school.
What were you thinking trashing that schoolmate with your friends online? You don't even know the person but you're going along with it being part of the clique. Don't you know what goes around comes around? It won't be long when you likewise will be ridicule by someone even if you haven't done anything to merit it. You're known by the company you keep and if you stay around trash-minded people that is how you will be regarded.It's not worth it buckling under peer pressure to belong to a group who waste time gossiping and tearing down people for sport.
What were you thinking responding to that text of meeting with your friends downtown to hang out at the mall only to be part of a "flash-mob" creating havoc there destroying property and assaulting people? That's real cool until you got caught by the police and now your embarrassed parents have to come down to bail you out. How does it feel to have your parents scolded by the judge for your irresponsible behaviour and to add insult to injury they found out you lied to them concerning your whereabouts when the incident occured? That was real smart!
What were you thinking about parent by not monitoring your teenaged child's activity on the Internet? You need to be aware of the sites they go on as well as the things they say to friends and associates. Your child might think its their private business to do what they want but their business is YOUR BUSINESS as the parent. You should have access to their password and if they don't comply to the rules you need to take their privileges away. And if they resist telling you they're grown particularly they who have hit the legal age of young adults at age 18, then you need to tell them to pack their bags and take their grown self out the door.
Let's see how they manage to live on their own with no money and no job or a piece of job paying minimal wages that can't even pay for a one room efficiency for a month.They may tried to go live at a relative but that relative don't want no part of that problem. Sometimes you have to use tough love on your kids so that they get the message you will not tolerate bad behavior and you must be respected as the parent. Hopefully like the prodigal's son the child will come to himself, come home and recognize your authority as the parent.
As parents we have to protect our children sometimes from themselves for the things they may do. Too often they act impulsively without thinking of the consequences. It's our responsibility to teach and train them through love and patience the principles of Christian values. When guided by the Word they earn our trust to make right decisions that help them grow up to be responsible and productive young people in our community. If parents think right they can influence their children to do likewise.

Hydatid Worm, Echinococcus granulosus
The Hydatid Worm (Echinococcus granulosus), also known as the Hyper Tape-Worm, is a species of cyclophyllid cestode that is found in the small intestine of adult canids (canine), but also is found in livestock and humans, which serve as intermediate hosts. This specimen causes Hydatid disease.
The adult Hydatid worm is typically less than 0.25 inches in length and has three proglottids (segments) when intact: the immature proglottid, mature proglottid and gravid proglottid. This specimen, like all cyclophyllids, has four suckers on its head (scolex). It also has a rostellum with hooks.
In canids, the Hydatid worm causes a tapeworm infection and produces eggs that are passed with the dog's feces. Any organism that ingests the feces serve as intermediate host. In the intermediate host, the eggs hatch into oncosphere larvae that travel through the blood stream and form Hydatid cysts in tissue. These cysts can grow to the size of a softball, or even a basketball, and may contain several smaller "balloons" inside the main cyst. If the outer cyst ruptures, new cysts may form at a different location in the body. Each of these smaller sections contain several juvenile worms, and dogs may eat millions of them, resulting in heavy infection.
Hydatid cysts occur in organs such as the liver, brain and lungs, but not in subcutaneous tissue. Symptoms can include liver enlargement, hooklets in sputum and possible anaphylactic shock when the immune system reacts to ruptured cysts. Hydatid cysts are found using an ultrasound, MRI, or immunoelectrophoresis.
Hydatid disease is treated through surgery, taking care not to rupture the cyst so new cysts cannot form. Once surgery is performed, mebendazole is administered over a long period of time at low dosages. The best way to keep dogs from being infected is to prevent them from eating infected offal (the internal organs and entrails of butchered animals). It is difficult to diagnose the presence of Hydatid worms in canids through microscopy.

I was wondering why the democrats had suffered so many hacking attacks recently by people that actually should be their fellow travelers, and after this announcement, the picture is now clear. Maybe I am a conspiracy cook, but the way things are playing out right now is too much coincidence even for me to dismiss tampering. after all, we are dealing with the most corrupt and self serving bunch of people in my lifetime, and expecting them not to do what comes natural to them, is far more of a stretch to me than the other way around.
This administration has lied, cheated, abused their power, and in general ripped off the productive to enrich the few connected and cement their power, and they now are rigging the game to make sure one of them wins so they can keep at it. As Stalin pointed out: cast votes are not as important as whomever gets to count them. And what better way to make sure the credentialed elite establishment types can make sure to get the results they want without risking too much of a chance that the plebes find out they are being played. The law is for the little people after all, as both the Obama administration and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's constant criminal activities getting a pass, has made clear.
Thanks for the banana republic Obama and the democratic party in general!

Yesterday, a photo went viral of a Coca-Cola display at Walmart in the shape of the Twin Towers with a 9/11 banner above it. Some people found it tasteless while others were upset Walmart took it down.
Today, according to The Blaze, a mattress store in San Antonio, Texas deleted their TV commercial from Facebook and even closed their store for a day after they received massive outrage and even death threats when their 9/11 sale ad went viral online. The ad for the "Twin Towers Sale" features two towers of mattress that two store employees knock to the ground before the store owner gasps dramatically and intones "We will never forget."
Take a look for yourself:
After igniting the ire of the internet, the store owner appeared on a local TV station to tearfully apologize and insist she didn't mean to offend anyone. Here's her apology and what she's planning to do to make amends:
The owner of the entire Miracle Mattress company, who has the same last name as the San Antonio store's owner, posted a letter on the company's Facebook page apologizing for the ad, saying he didn't know about it and calling it "tasteless and an affront to the men and women who lost their lives on 9/11." He said he was "disgusted" and "incensed" and will be holding everyone involved in the video accountable.
Are you upset by the ad?

text: Anyone else try Madden 07 on All-Madden yet? I decided to up to all-madden after I went 19-0 on all-pro. I've lost four straight since switching over. My secondary literally stands out there and watches the passes as they fly over their heads. They don't react properly to the ball at all. I had one ricochet right off Wesley's helmet into the receiver's hands as he was facing the ball. The CPU pretty much passes at will on me since my DB's are just dumb as ****. Then there are the run plays by the CPU where the RB breaks five tackles on the way to an 80 yard run. On offense, every third passing play or so, Shields or Waters is tossed aside by the defensive tackle who rushes in and sacks me before I even get to the end of my drop. There is also an annoying bug in the game that puts Larry Johnson at free safety when I go to the quarter defense despite having enough safeties and corners to play quarter. :cuss: :banghead: :mad: Guess it's time to play with some sliders.

Interested in Language
I am not sure if the sentence in the text is correct. Could you help me?
The dinner, it was the next problem for me.
Is there a diffference in using next or another? What about the definite article in front of next.
Last edited by Martina Durisova; 03-Feb-2012 at 15:24.
To me it sounds fine and indeed it sounds pretty much the same as
Dinner was the next problem (it's almost as though you were making a list of all your problems and dinner was next on your list)
However if you say
(Now/well), dinner was another problem.
to me this sentence could also mean I had a totally different problem to the one I had been dealing with e.g.
(Well, dinner) was another/a different problem. The most important thing now was to get him to the airport on time.
I hope I've come up with the right example and that I haven't confused you any further.

On a tight budget? Ask the photographer to work with you
Posted 19 December 2007 - 08:20 PM
I wanted to share this post with other brides out there that might be concerned about the pricing info they are seeing on the photographers' sites and price lists. I was also very discouraged and concerned that I would not have the quality of pictures that was important to me. However, I believe many of the local photographers will work with your budget -- it never hurts to ask, as the worst that will come of it may be a polite "no."
I'm not saying to lowball them just for the sake of trying (your offer will have to be somewhat comparable to their service fees) but if you truly have budget constraints some are willing to at least work with you and offer flexibility in the number of hours covered, # of pics on a cd, & # of prints for the amount you have budgeted. That's why many of them say to contact them for an exact quote.
Here's my story: My FI and I are on a fairly tight wedding budget (we think in comparison to what others are spending on their weddings) and while I consider pictures very important -- he doesn't really (not to mention he hates having his picture taken). We finally agreed on an amount for a photographer which did not provide enough to fly in a photographer so I knew it had to be a local one. I explained my situation to my wedding planner and she then relayed this to the photographers we were interested in. They all came back with packages that were within our price range and what we felt were reasonable for the amount we had budgeted.
Even though we had our wedding planner contacting the photographers for us, she did so because I explained our situation and I think the photographers still would have worked with us on pricing if I had contacted them directly. Bottom line I think I got a great local photographer with a package and price my FI and I could live with. IT NEVER HURTS TO ASK - ESPECIALLY NICELY AND WITH SINCERITY!
Despite what my FI thinks, these pictures will be some of the only tangible things we have left to remember our very special day by and I think this is how most brides (& some grooms) feel. So don't settle for a photographer you're not that impressed with just because his/her price fits your budget. Contact the photographers you're interested in that may be a little more than your budget and see if they will work with you.
Good luck!

I'm doing the same thing while trying to work out my WD. I'm telling the restaurants the price range I can afford. If they can't do it then they tell me and I try someone else. I think it never hurts to ask. Some may want your business and may be flexible.

By the way - the wedding picture you have tagged to your message is beautiful, what a great view!
Posted 19 December 2007 - 09:22 PM
First and for most... Never lowball a photogarpher to try and get a deal. You WILL end up getting burned in the end because you will end up 1. offending the photographer or 2. have them not put their all into your photos because they dont feel that it is worth it or 3. end up with a photographer who wont be able to provide the quality of images that you deserve.
IF you are on a budget this is what you should do. First figure out how much your budget really is for your wedding. Most couples invest (and it really is an investment in quality) 10% of their entire wedding into photography. Now you have an idea of what you should consider spending. Some spend more some spend less. If you don't have that much alloted for photography that is completely okay. But don't expect photographers to always be able to meet your budget.
One thing you have to realize is that we are in a business and photographers usually have to charge what they charge for a reason to stay afloat. If you think about it we literaly have 52 weekends a year to make our income and the rest of the time is spent editing through thousands of photos per week. Plus theirs advertising costs, and taxes and this and VERY expensive equipment. On the other hand what we offer is a service and not a product so we can sometimes bend a little bit on our pricing.
Find photographers online or through a friend that you have heard a lot of good things about. Check out their pricing and if its within your budget contact them right away to see if they are available. (dates book up fast). If they are close to your budget but slightly over mention what your budget is and perhaps they will be willing to try and meet yoru budget. If that doesnt work try these things.
1. Ask if perhaps you could get a bare bones package or exclude some of the things that they offer to try and bring the price down. Myself I do all my packages a la carte so that the couple can pick and choose their own package to try and work within their budget.
2. Perhaps they would offer you a discount if you pay for it all up front (if you are willing to do this make VERY sure that they are very reputable and wont just vanish with your money because I have heard this happens)
3. Try considerig having them there for a little less time (i dont recommend this one because personally I feel that the best photos arent from the ceremony but the getting ready and during the reception. that is why I, as well as some other photographers, offer an unlimited time for a flat rate)
4. Ask if it might be possible to hire them for the photography at first and then maybe a few months or a year down the line purchase the album through them.
5. It can't ever hurt to ask as long as you arent trying to lowball them. A couple I shot in Tulum Mexico only had half the budget of what I quoted them but I did it because I knew it would be a wonderful wedding, a great time, and amazing photos that would help my portfolio as well.
If none of those things work then perhaps try a different route. You can try online listings like craigslist.org and locate your city and search for photographers on there. many offer discounted prices on there for cancelations, or open dates that are available.
You can try going to a photography studio and see if they have up and coming photographers or second photographers that are wanting to try their hand at a wedding on their own.
Also you can always try the photography schools. I know when I was studying photography I did the weddings for a couple hundred bucks to get the experience.
One thing I STRONGLYYYY advise upon though no matter if you go with a professional, novice, or ameature, ALWAYS ask to see a complete set of wedding photos. Anyone can shoot pictures at a wedding and get a handful of good photos and if you shoot enough of those you can get yourself a great portfolio but still not be a great photogarpher. If they wont show you an entire wedding then be very cautious.
If you have any questions ever please dont hesitate to ask. Even if you are going with another photographer and you want another photographers opionion about their pricing or what they offer or the quality of their photos just ask me. my email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Posted 19 December 2007 - 09:55 PM
I also found there were a lot of great local photographers to consider so that helped me find the right photographer in our budget.

V. Stiviano Releases Pics of Her Battered Face, Her Attacker Charged With Hate Crime
Prepare to eat your words, everyone who thought that this was a crime of love. Nope. Yesterday, V. Stiviano's attacker was officially charged with a hate crime and assault. Dominick Diorio, 40, in addition to possessing a name that screams "I would commit a hate crime," was arrested for, yup, committing a hate crime!
Apparently, Diorio, and a yet-to-be-caught second assailant, saw Stiviano at a restaurant in NYC Sunday night, and decided to yell the n-word at her, spit on her, and punch her upside the head. I guess these guys were massive Donald Sterling fans? I'm not sure I really understand who they were standing up for here. They're part of a coalition of dudes against the secret recording of billionaires? Who the hell knows.
Diorio was at the restaurant celebrating his 40th birthday, and if punching a woman doesn't give you enough insight into what a winner this guy is, surely this line from the Daily Mail's article will – "Diorio currently lives with his parents and his father told The New York Post of his shock." Sounds like someone ain't getting any allowance this week!
Stiviano's lawyer released a pic of her battered face (below), and it's pretty rough. I'm not a huge fan of hers either, but maybe, ya know, don't hit a woman?

Washington Nearly three-fourths of older Americans support legalizing marijuana for medical use, according to a poll done for the nation's largest advocacy group for seniors.
More than half of those questioned said they believed marijuana had medical benefits, while a larger majority agreed the drug was addictive.
AARP, with 35 million members, says it has no political position on medical marijuana and that its local branches have not chosen sides in the scores of state ballot initiatives on the issue in recent elections.
But with medical marijuana at the center of a Supreme Court case to be decided next year, and nearly a dozen states with medical marijuana laws on their books, AARP decided to study the issue.
"The use of medical marijuana applies to many older Americans who may benefit from cannabis," said Ed Dwyer, an editor at AARP The Magazine, which will discuss medical marijuana in its March/April issue appearing in late January.
Among the 1,706 adults polled in AARP's random telephone survey in November, opinions varied along regional and generational lines and among the 30 percent of respondents who said they had smoked pot. AARP members represented 37 percent of respondents.
Overall, 72 percent of respondents agreed "adults should be allowed to legally use marijuana for medical purposes if a physician recommends it." Those in the Northeast (79 percent) and West (82 percent) were more receptive to the idea than in the Midwest (67 percent) and Southwest (65 percent). In Southern states, 70 percent agreed with the statement.
Though 69 percent of those age 70 and older said they supported legal medical marijuana use, less than half agreed it had medical benefits. Seventy percent of respondents age 45-49 said they believed in the medical benefits of pot, as did 59 percent of those in the 50-69 age group.
And while 74 percent of all people surveyed said pot was addictive, older respondents were more likely to think so: 83 percent of those 70 and older, compared with 61 percent of those aged 45-49.
Generational lines also divided those who have smoked pot: Just 8 percent of those 70 and older admitted having lit up, compared with 58 percent of the 45-49 group, 37 percent of those between 50 and 59 and 15 percent of the 60-69 set.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - Senior Tiffany Hodgens performed two hat tricks and added two more in a third game for a total of 10 goals, leading UC Davis to wins over Redlands, Whittier and UC Santa Cruz in collegiate women's water polo action Saturday. With that scoring output, the three-time All-American brings her career total to 330 goals, becoming the all-time career scorer in collegiate women's water polo history. She surpasses Adele McCarthy-Beauvais, who scored 327 goals for Princeton from 2000 to 2003.
The Aggies won by scores of 14-3 over Redlands, 16-2 over Whittier and 14-6 over UC Santa Cruz, bringing their season record to 14-7.
Hodgens scored four goals while sophomore Kristin Pfaff, junior Nicole Lorrimer, sophomore Jessi Lafayette and freshman Jennie Chiavetta each added two in Saturday morning's win over the Bulldogs. Meggan Brownrigg started in net, posting three saves in three quarters. Then Amber Korner filled in for the fourth quarter, tallying four saves.
In the second victory over the Poets, Hodgens again led with four goals, with Pfaff contributing three. Lafayette, senior Alli Johnstone and freshman Crisara Abrams each scored two. Nicole Hall posted seven saves in three quarters with Korner adding four blocks - including one on a four-meter penalty shot - in the fourth.
Korner earned her first career start in the day's finale against the host Banana Slugs. She hit a career-best 10 saves in the win. Offensively for UC Davis, Chiavetta had a career-high four goals with Hodgens adding three. Abrams and fellow freshman Annie Preble each added two goals for the Aggies.
The original schedule had UC Davis playing only UCSC, but Redlands and Whittier added the Aggies to the calendar earlier in the week. The day's action also serves as a replacement for Sunday's matchup with Santa Clara, which was cancelled.
The Aggies' next action is a orad game at UC Berkeley on March 10.

A/N: Okay, this story was sort of inspired from one of my friends on here, LiZ-RoX. She said that my idea of just randomly typing a story one day was a good one. I honestly have no idea how this is going to come out but hopefully it'll be good. It's probably going to just be a short and silly story but it's still something. Okay, I'm just going to end the author's note now before I put too much in it. If I did, I'd never get to the story. Here it goes!
The Attack Of The Books
Mikayla was sitting quietly in a chair at the library reading a book. She was oblivious to all of her surroundings. Many people passed her and were staring at her. Nobody ever sat and read in that library. If possible, people didn't even like to go there because it was so spooky. But Mikayla just didn't care. She loved her books and would stop and read anywhere that she could. She was just unique that way.
None of the other kids that were her age ever read. They always hung out with their boyfriends and girlfriends. She didn't have a boyfriend though. She wasn't interested in anyone that way. All that she needed to be happy were her books.
Mikayla's mom suddenly appeared from around that corner. She had been waiting for her daughter to hurry up and finish reading whatever book she currently had.
"Hurry up already!" she yelled.
Mikayla just looked up at her mom uncaringly. She wasn't going to just stop reading and her mom knew that.
"Come on mom. I'm almost done! Can't you just wait a little bit longer? Why don't you look for a book to read in the meantime?" said Mikayla. She knew that her mom despised reading but she just liked to tease her.
"Fine! I'll look around for a little while but you better be done soon. You know that I hate it here," her mother replied. And with that, her mother left the room.
Mikayla watched her mom walk away and went back to her reading. This was definitely one of her favorite books yet. She just wished that it didn't have to end. As soon as she reached the second to last page of her book, she heard a piecing scream. Out of nowhere, she saw books flying towards her. She ran in the direction that her mom had gone in earlier and saw her laying on the floor. She looked pretty beat up. She kneeled down next to her just as another book came whipping past them. Both mother and daughter were more terrified than they thought was possible.
"Are you okay?" Mikayla frantically asked her mom. Her mom couldn't seem to get up and she had multiple scratches and bruises covering all of her exposed body. Even her clothes were mildly torn apart. That definitely wasn't a good sign.
"Um… Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just really shocked," her mother said unconvincingly. She definitely did not look okay at all and she needed to find help.
"Mom, you really look like crap right now. Come on, we need to get you some help."
Her mom shook her head and stayed in the same position on the ground. She looked down at her beaten up legs for a second and then back up to her terrified daughter.
"No. You're right. But I really can't walk right now. Why don't you go look for the librarian? I just have the slightest feeling that you know the layout better than I do. I'd get lost trying to find the library with you," her mom joked. Just then, another large group of books came hurtling towards both of them. Mikayla barely dodged them but her mom still got hit by three of them. They were running out of time. Mikayla needed to find somewhere to hide her mom where no books could possibly reach her. But every place she could think of still had too many books nearby. She'd just have to make a run for it.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay with me gone?" Mikayla nervously asked her mother. She really didn't want anything bad to happen to her. She'd be heartbroken if something did. Her father was already dead. He was killed in a terrible head-on collision. She also had no siblings. Her mother was really all that she had. There was no way that she'd be able to survive without her.
"Yes, I'm positive. Please just go now honey," her mother assured her.
Mikayla simply nodded and just ran off towards the librarian's office. Luckily, it wasn't too far away and she got there in a little over a minute. The second she reached the door, she frantically started knocking on it. She had to get the librarians attention and she had to get it quick. When nobody answered, she opened the door and ran in. She was surprised that the door was even open. When she got in there, the librarian was nowhere in sight. She must have run off when the books went crazy and forgot to lock the door. Now, Mikayla was at a loss. She had no idea how to save her mom. She wished she was strong enough to carry her out but she knew she wasn't. Suddenly, she came up with an idea.
If she could find something in the library with wheels, she could safely roll her mother out of the library. But where would she find something like that. Miraculously, she thought of a room with something suitable for the job. All she had to do was go to the…
Her thoughts were interrupted by another piercing scream. She had to quickly check on her mom or something terrible could happen. She just couldn't let that happen.
She ran up to her mom and saw fifteen books at her side wildly attacking her. She started pulling the books away and beating them until they stopped moving. After much time was wasted, all of the books were down and out of life.
"Mom, the librarian wasn't in his office so I have to find another way for you to get out. I think I have a good enough plan to do that, but it'll only work if I can find a good enough rolling chair. If I find one, I can quickly roll you out of here," Mikayla told her mom. Now that she really thought about it, her plan sounded extremely unrealistic and silly but it was the only thing left to do.
"Okay honey, just do what you have to do. You know that I'll still be here when you get back," joked her mother.
Mikayla quickly exited the room and went to the area with all of the computers. She wasn't having luck finding any rolling chairs. They were all ordinary and wouldn't do her any good. When she reached the back of the room, she saw a door leading to another room. It looked like there were even more computers in there. She quickly sprinted into the room and immediately found a rolling chair. She made her way with it back to her mom.
"I found one mom!" exclaimed Mikayla. She was so ecstatic that she couldn't even hide her happiness. She quickly loaded her mother onto the chair with only minor assistance from her mother. She started running toward the exit while listening to what her mother had to say.
"Thank you so much for saving me Mikayla! I thought that I was going to die in there! Who would have ever thought that your precious books could be so vicious. I mean, they made me fall to the ground and break my legs! Even you couldn't do that," said her mother.
"Hey, I can't help it if I'm not that strong. And I did get you into the chair didn't I? That shows a little bit of strength," replied Mikayla while trying not to laugh.
As they reached the car, the looked back at the library one last time. It had never looked so intimidating to them before. Mikayla helped her mom into the passenger seat and then got in the car herself. They just looked at each other.
"Well, at least we know why everybody hates that library now," said Mikayla.
Her mother just laughed. She would have never believed anybody if they told her that the reason why they hated the library was because the books were evil. She would have just called them crazy.
"Yeah," she said, "now we know."
They drove quietly the rest of the way home, away from the dangerous library, never to be visited by them again.
A/N: Okay, I warned you at the beginning of this story that it was going to be silly. That was before my spontaneous creation of evil books. I hadn't even known what I was going to be writing about while I was typing the author's note. Cool, huh? Sadly enough, I think that this story was even more serious than I intended it to be. But in the end, it was still incredibly crazy and unrealistic. Now aren't we all happy that we don't have any libraries like that near where we live? I sure am. I'd freak out if that happened at my library.
Anyway, R/R please! I need as many reviews as I can get. Also, criticize me all you want, but I am not changing this story one bit. It was extremely spontaneous and me changing anything would ruin the whole thing for me. But I still do want all of your guys' opinions.
Thanks for reading the worlds dumbest story! :P
They should make a Worlds Dumbest Stories show. I mean they have Worlds Dumbest everything else and those shows are so stupid and hilarious. I love the people that comment on what the stupid people in the world do. Okay, my rant on Worlds Dumbest stuff is over.
Thanks for visiting again! Please claim your money after you are finished reviewing. :D

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Across the nation clown sightings are being reported. Now, some people on social media say they are in Aggieland. Early this morning university police say they received calls about clown sightings at White Creek Apartments, Kyle Field, The Health Science Center, and the Beutel Health Clinic. Officers responded with no clowns in sight.
It is not illegal to dress like a clown in public, but university police say anytime someone sees something suspicious or alarming they should call the department.
"They shouldn't feel like they are going to be an inconvenience to us," said Lt. Baron. "We are here to assist the public and should they need us, we are going to respond appropriately."
Lt. Baron says there has been no substantial evidence to show any suspicious clowns are here. He goes on to say that not matter what students should always be cautious of their surroundings.

I'm making a program again...but this time there will be no server as the data should be placed on the client itself, another to consider is that the data will be quite big...though I think of cutting it into tables still 1 table will consist of at least few thousand records...will be much larger if it were to be combined into 1 table.
So I wonder what options do I have for the database...some suggested to record in txt file, while with the daily experience I think it maybe possible to use dbf file...both however I have no clue to start it out (have a feeling that this may have to do with java.io...at least for the txt part).
Could someone please share something on these or maybe if there's another options to use ?
Thanks in advance,

Aired 07/11/13
After the poignant Cory Monteith tribute episode several weeks ago, Glee was finally back on our screens this week, and while light and simplistic is the best way to go after such a difficult period for the cast and the show's fans, the episode wasn't particularly great. The writers are obviously still trying to figure out where to take the show now, which is completely understandable and I would be harsh to criticise too much. However, I really don't know how they managed to justify an episode based upon the differences between Lady Gaga and Katy Perry - I honestly don't think there's that much difference between them. The episode focussed on the premise that Katy Perry was a good, girl-next-door type while Gaga was a completely whacky, artistic diva. I'd like to remind everyone that Perry's first big hit featured the lyric: "I kissed a girl and I liked it" and both women wear quite outrageous costumes. Ok, maybe Katy hasn't worn a dress made of meat but she did wear cupcakes on her boobs and have fireworks shoot out of them once. Katy Perry vs Lady Gaga, for me, was a bad analogy for "good girl" vs "bad girl". Apparently the popstars are feuding in real life - something I don't give a ratsarse about - and to use this as a basis for an actual storyline really was quite lame.
Will asked every member of the New Directions to decide whether they were a 'Katy' or a 'Gaga' and then he set them an assignment: If they were a Katy they had to step into the shoes of Gaga and vice versa. The wider message was to use the two pop icons as a means of discovering who they really were. Except it didn't really work and pretty much flipped the fundamental message of the show on its head. Right from season one the show has been about accepting people for who they are - if Finn, the stereotypical jock, wanted to be in Glee club then why shouldn't he? Why can't the nerd date the high school quarterback? Why can't a guy be gay and proud? Why can't a guy be disabled and beautiful? All of these characters defied typical high school norms, suffered their fair share of bullying and fought like hell to be themselves. This episode pretty much reversed everything the show has been celebrating for the past four years.
Marley was adamant that she was a 'Katy' and didn't want to step into the shoes of Gaga. Why should she? She is happy with who she is and doesn't want to change because other people tell her to. During her group's performance of Gaga's 'Applause', she decided not to don a near-naked Gaga outfit and instead chose a Katy outfit. For this, she got suspended. I mean, seriously, SHE GOT SUSPENDED FOR NOT WEARING A REVEALING BIKINI AT SCHOOL AND FOR STAYING TRUE TO HERSELF AS A KATY. Ugh, what?! No, just no. The whole thing was just weird and wrong. Not only that but Jake shouted at her because she didn't want to sleep with him and then he slept with someone else. Seriously, what the heck was happening?! The whole thing was just awkward and horrible and wasn't entertaining to watch at all.
While all that stupid crap was happening at McKinley High, the New Yorkers were trying to set up a band. Again the theme was the same - Adam Lambert does an awesome job in his audition for the band, dressed up in some cool gear reminiscent of the Mad Hatter (Once Upon a Time style) but Kurt thinks he is too edgy and wants him to tone it down. Did someone say hypocrite? For a guy who was bullied at school for being gay, Kurt really was such a douche to demand the guy change because he didn't conform to his expectations. The plot, I thought, was ridiculously uncharacteristic of Kurt and I really can't understand how the writers thought we'd buy into Kurt - the poster boy for acceptance and non-conformity - being such a dweeb and taking this kind of stance. Luckily, he redeemed himself by changing his mind at the end. Now the New Yorkers have their own band - I'm sure it will be successful and they'll have a number one hit with iTunes and a record deal before the season ends. Oh, can you smell that cheese?
Honestly, the plots for the episode just weren't particularly strong. The show's only real good point was the performance of 'Wide Awake' by Kitty, Unique, Jake and Tina. It was stripped of all the cheesy gimmicks that practically suffocate the music industry today. It was raw, emotional and possibly one of the best covers the show has done for a while.
I feel harsh in criticising this show after everything that's happened in the real world, and I know the writers have had a tough time with changing the scripts, but I seriously wish they'd put a bit more thought into this clunky, uncharacteristic episode of Glee. The message was warped and it wasn't fun to watch. I'm worried that I'm bearing witness to a sinking ship... Things can only get better, right?

Jenson Button says McLaren will persevere with development of their 2013 car
2009 champion promises team will do best they can at Silverstone
By William Esler
Last Updated: 27/06/13 6:06pm
The Woking-based team have endured a difficult start to the season, with the 2009 World Champion's fifth place in China the highlight of an unspectacular campaign.
Indeed such is there woe, both cars finished outside the points in Canada - the first time at least one McLaren has not collected points in 65 races.
"When you watch it on TV, you can see our car does things that an F1 car shouldn't be doing. I think our ride is something that we need and something we are improving," Button said.
"At a circuit like Silverstone, it is quite bumpy - not as bad as Canada - and I think our car suits circuits like Barcelona, China and Malaysia so hopefully the flow of the circuit will help us. But that is still not enough and we need to improve in the areas in which we are weak.
"We are not thinking about 2014 already, we want to get good results this year so we are pushing flat-out to make sure that we do improve, but it is an area of the car is very difficult to improve, but we are trying really hard."
Button has never finished on the podium at Silverstone in 13 attempts and he feels it has to be more than just bad luck.
"I am sure there is more to it than being unlucky," the McLaren driver said.
"But I have still had some really good races here - my first year in Formula 1 at my first British GP I finished fifth, overtaking Michael [Schumacher] at turn one and finishing with nine cylinders. So it was a great weekend with DC [David Coulthard] winning and with very passionate fans here it was a great celebration.
"But I agree, being on the podium here is something that I would love to achieve - but it is going to be very difficult this year. We will try as hard as we can and get the best out of the car. That is all we can do, we know we are not fast enough, but we want to repay all the fans.
"They are not just fans in the good times, but they are fans in the tough times as well and that is really nice to see. Hopefully we will have a full house of Union flags here and I promise we will do the best we can."

final blog, poetry attempt
Lighten Up 2013
The contest may be over, but I still have goals to meet.
I still can't jog around my block and still can't see my feet.
When the contest started, I had it all planned in my mind.
I joined the gym but honestly, I only went a couple times.
I started great the first three months, I lost thirty pounds real fast,
Then summer and temptation came and I just ran out of gas.
The picnics and grad parties with all the food I ate,
The only exercise I got was hauling around my plate.
I tried to get myself on track thought I had a few good weeks,
Unfortunately, that Saturday, the red scale did not agree.
I've really learned a lot from this, have a few bad habits tossed.
Congrats to all participants for all the weight you've lost.
I know that I can do this, this is not the end.
When this time comes next year, I"ll "Lighten Up" again.
Thanks to Laura, Cori, Cabana's, Lean Living, Lake County Health District, News Herald, Lake County Y and everyone else who helped make this a great experience.

Rashean Mathis: Will Injury Be a Battle Cry for Upstart Jacksonville Jaguars?November 16, 2011
When Rashean Mathis went down in the second quarter with a knee injury against the Indianapolis Colts, not only did the Jacksonville Jaguars lose a key member of their secondary, they lost a vocal leader in the locker room. Both have been important to the stability of this unbalanced team in 2011.
Mathis was diagnosed with a torn ACL on Monday and was placed on injured reserve. According to a story by Tania Ganguli in the Florida Times-Union, Mathis wasn't the only one whose season ended this week. Right tackle Eben Britton, who has been suffering from back issues since the beginning of training camp and linebacker Kyle Bosworth were also placed in the list, and will not see action again this year.
According to the article, Mathis will likely be replaced by Will Middleton, who stepped in against the Colts. Middleton has started in four games this season in relief of cornerback Derek Cox. Others on the cornerback depth chart include nickel corner Drew Coleman, and undrafted rookies T.J. Heath and Kevin Rutland.
The Jaguars signed defensive back Ashton Youboty and defensive end George Selvie to fill the open roster spot.
The Jaguars showed some, albeit little, life in the 17-3 win on the road. The defense again strangled the Colts offense, and now are ranked fifth overall in the NFL. The running game continued to show it is the workhorse of the team, with Maurice Jones-Drew gaining 114 yards on the day.
The offense was also aided by the fact that Blaine Gabbert completed 14-of-21 passes and looked more comfortable in the passing game. He still had his issues with throwing in a downward motion at the feet of his receivers, but he completed 66-percent of his passes on the day.
Gabbert was helped by the fact that both Jarrett Dillard and Chastin West introduced themselves to the passing game last week and figure to earn more playing time based on their performances.
The Jaguars play at Cleveland on Sunday.
Because the team has won the last two of three games on their schedule, there is a bit of optimism for this club. Head coach Jack Del Rio touched on that at his Monday press conference with the media. But the team will now go at it on the field without one of its key leaders and veterans.
"On film, you can see it go out,'' Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said in a story written by Vito Stellino in the Tuesday edition of the Florida Times-Union. "No contact. Foot planted on the turn, knee shifted."It's life in the NFL. It's a tough business. It's tough for guys to get the news that they're going on IR, but as a football team, we're going forward doing the best we can.
"He's a good football player. He was having a good year for us."
But there is also some question as to whether Mathis, who is from Jacksonville and drafted in 2003, will even be with the team next season. This year was the last year of his contract and according to Stellino, the team had not entered negotiations with him or his agent yet.
If the injury hurts his free agent status, it could mean the team would be able to hold on to him at a better price on the open market.
The Jaguars go through a portion of their schedule that may help them. After Cleveland, they face Houston, who lost starting quarterback Matt Schaub for the season to a foot injury and now Matt Leinart will start in his place.
San Diego come to Jacksonville on Dec. 5 followed by Tampa Bay. The Jaguars, if given more consistent play, could win at least three of those four games and jump right back into the AFC South playoff race.

Wall Street 2 Adds Susan Sarandon
- By
- 9 Comments
Wall Street 2 continues to cast a surprisingly classy set of actors for a movie that's subtitled Money Never Sleeps. Frank Langella and actress Carey Mulligan were both recently confirmed for the film; now comes word that acclaimed actress Susan Sarandon (The Lovely Bones) will be joining Oliver Stone's production as well.
Sarandon will reportedly be playing the role of the mother to Shia LaBeouf's young and upcoming Wall Street trader. If you didn't already know, Michael Douglas will be reprising his Oscar-winning role as Gordon Gekko for the sequel.
What we know thusfar is that Wall Street 2 will focus on LaBeouf's character as he tries to rise through the throat-cutting ranks of Wall Street. The young trader eventually falls under the dragon's wing of Gekko (his wife's estranged father), now out of prison and making a living on the lecture circuit. While the young trader uses Gekko's "wisdom" to advance on Wall Street, Gekko uses the young man's ambition to get closer to his daughter.
Langella's character is rumored to be an older trader who serves as the "fatherly good mentor." Likely Sarandon will be the sagely mother in the story – a role she played to (totally underrated) perfection in Speed Racer.
Just kidding with ya :-) .
But still, seriously, I can't get over how good a cast they've amassed for such a horribly-titled movie! I would get excited about this film, except for the fact that they're pushing it out so fast in order to capitalize on the current economic turmoil that's tearing through real-life Wall Street. Something tells me that in the end, this film is going to come out looking half-cooked, despite the talents and efforts of its wonderful cast.
Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps is set to hit theaters on April 23, 2010.

Merrifield seeking 4th term as Franklin votes today
- Published in Local News
FRANKLIN — Voters in this city will go to the polls on Tuesday to elect a mayor and some members of city council, as well as four members of the School Board. Voting hours in all three wards will run from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Ward One voters will cast ballots at Thompson Hall (47 Main Street). Ward Two voters will vote at City Hall (316 Central Street). And Ward 3 voters will gravitate to the Middle School (200 Sanborn Street).
Mayor Ken Merrifield is seeking a fourth term and there are no other names on the ballot for that position. Glenn Morrill, however, is conducting an aggressive, last-minute write-in campaign for votes.
All four city councilors that are up for election this year are running for re-election, but only Paul C. Trudel (Ward Three) has opposition — from Steve Barton. Councilor Arthur "Ted" Starkweather (Ward One), Councilor Tony Giunta (Ward One) and Councilor Douglas A. Boyd are unopposed.
Four seats on the School Board are up for election and while there are, officially, no contested races, at least two write-in campaigns have been mounted.
Incumbents Charles "Chad" Carey (Ward One) and Timothy M. Dow (Ward Three) are unopposed.
Former High School football coach Gregory Husband (Ward One) is alone on the ballot but Gwen Hall is seeking write-in votes for that seat.
Likewise, Angie Carey (Ward Two) is the only name on the ballot but Carol Edmunds is asking for write-in votes.

Brookfield Renewable – Internal Research: Creating a strong employee brand
Brookfield Renewable, a world-leading hydroelectric and wind energy company, needed an international employment brand representative of its workforce, its management, and its culture, yet also aligned with its larger corporate brand (Brookfield Asset Management).
Our unique approach is to build brands from the inside out. We examine how the organization is perceived by its employees and make recommendations to help mitigate negative aspects and positively impact employee retention and morale. Over the course of four months, our team conducted interviews and focus groups with Brookfield Renewable employees in four U.S. states and two provinces to collect data and draw out a holistic image of the company's employee brand. Across the board, there were resounding, consistent brand traits that appeared. These traits and key research insights were leveraged internally by the Human Resources and Communications teams to achieve their objectives.
We are currently working with Brookfield Renewable to finalize the creative platform for the brand and bring to life a visual example of what it means to be part of the Brookfield team.

RealUnevenHeterodont asks:
- Went for drinks – was fun
- Met again a couple of days later at my place – fooled around (no sex)
- Two days later: Went to her place, only for 2 hours – we both had other plans later but could make some free time for each other), it started to get frisky. She told me she's on her period. She gives me a blowjob, I tell her I will make it up to her the next time we meet (which I will – I love going down on girls)
Now I think this girl is really cool and it's fun to hang around with her – but I only want sex. She started to text me after last night, even sent me a picture of her having a good time and teased me about not being there with her (I wasn't interested – plus I was too tired). I want to tell her that I'm only interested in having sex with her – I'm not looking for anything serious (at least not with her) – we haven't talked about that yet. Problem is I feel she might be thinking we're dating (which technically we probably are…I think I screwed up here). Now I don't want her to feel I've just "used her" for a blowjob – I will totally make it up to her and rock her world: But I feel I need to be totally straight with her before doing so.
Demetrius says:
You definitely should tell her that you're only interested in sex. What's the other option, really?
How you phrase it is up to you, but you should be open and honest about what you're looking for. In general, you should tell people before they engage in a sex act with you that you only want sex but hey, we can't change the past. For the record, I wont judge you for only wanting sex, but I will judge you for not being honest about it to begin with. You're right though, she does think you're dating because…you went on a few dates.In my book, once you go on two or more dates and plan on going on more dates, congrats, you're dating. The reason you're in the situation you're in now is because you're not upfront about what you're looking for, (or not looking for) and because of that, I'd guess you're in similar situations pretty frequently. Here's some advice for the future: If you're only looking for sex, be upfront about that. Don't wait until she's already had her mouth around your junk, because that's way too late in the game. It might lose you some dates in the long-term, but at least you'll be doing the right thing.
The best way to handle your current situation is to have an idea of what you want out of this situation, ask her to have a conversation with you, and be prepared for her to completely shut you down if she finds the idea of being your fuckbuddy reprehensible. It's possible that she isn't interested in being friends with benefits with you, and she might even be offended that you would even think that she'd be okay with just being a booty call. I'm not making a moral judgment here, but people occasionally get offended when you tell them "I like you, but I just want to have sex with you, and not date". Maybe don't phrase it like that, but you should sit her down and tell her that you like her, but you're not looking for something serious. If she asks what you mean, you might have to get specific and say that you're only looking for sex. Now's also the time to say "Listen, I understand if you want something more and if that's the case, we should probably end things". Don't lead her on if she's looking for a relationship, and don't feel obligated to try to be something you're not just because you got a blowie.
Beyond that, in the future, seriously guy, just be honest about what you're looking for. Plenty of people out there are only looking for non-committed adult playtime so next time around, man up and say that's all you're looking for.
Good Luck Out There.

Steven Foley To Talk To Villa
Steven Foley, who has been on loan to Bournemouth all this season, is to have talks with Villa before deciding on his future.
It appears the Cherries are keen to sign the 19 year old midfielder whose contract runs out with Villa in the summer.
He is currently on loan until the end of January and Sean O'Driscoll has already held talks with the player regarding a possible permanent contract.
And boss Sean O'Driscoll this week revealed Cherries had already held preliminary discussions with Foley regarding the possibility of a permanent move.
Foley told Daily Echo 'If Aston Villa weren't to offer me a contract for next season, I'd love to sign here.'
Adding 'I've really enjoyed my time here and it's been brilliant. I think it's just up to Aston Villa now because myself and Sean are keen to get it done, it's just what they want to do. I'm not sure how they want to go about it. I'll have to talk to them because I haven't really spoken to them since I've been down here so I need to go back and see what happens.'

In a few posts I have referred to Pete Dunne's Essential Field Guide Companion. Published in 2006, I suspect that it's now out of print, but I know it can be bought new or lightly used through ABE Books for around $30. It's a 680 pages hardcover without a single picture but with more concise bird species information than you're likely to see anywhere else anytime soon. Get it.
I happened upon Pete's book at my local library and knew after reading a very few pages that I had to have my own copy. Pete truly and effectively supplements the contents of any North American field guide. Field guides provide undeniably valuable field information. Sibley Guides or National Geographic, it doesn't matter, you get the bird's name, excellent colour illustrations that show all the key field marks, a range map or two and a few lines about song or characteristic behaviour. To be fair, they usually devote paragraphs summarizing general characterisitics of family groups or distinguishing differences between similar species. But that's pretty much where it stops.
Pete Dunne has taken the next logical step and added everything that's left unsaid by a compact field guide . There are no illustrations in Pete's book, but the text is lively, amazingly descriptive and often funny.
All of his species accounts have a consistent format; for the sake of illustration I am referring at his Gray Jay page. It provides the Name (of course) and a nickname – Spruce Ghost in this case. Then comes technical stuff like Status in which he outlines in broad terms the species' geographical abundance: common, widespread, highly-localized, etc. A discussion of Distribution is quite detailed and rather than the lengthy listing of states and provinces could perhaps have been better illustrated with range maps . Habitat provides useful detail about the species' preferred topography and associated flora. And a really useful section on Cohabitants provides the sort of information that makes you think: "Yes of course!". In the case of the Gray Jay its cohabitatntas are listed as Spruce Grouse, Northern Hawk Owl, and Boreal Chickadee. A Vagrancy Index note rates the species' tendency, on a scale of 1 to 4, to wander. He rates the Gray Jay as a one, Black-throated Gray Warbler a three and European Starling a four.
Next the chatty part. In Description he describes and talks about the bird's plumage and overall appearance, how it looks and what it looks somewhat like (which is really useful), where it sits size-wise in comparison to likely companion species, how it perches; all the subtle stuff that go to make up the GISS (General impression of size and shape). In Behaviour he describes the bird's conduct, the Gray Jay is described as "Ghostlike in its ability to appear suddenly and silently on the limb just above your head…..drawn to human presence – gunshot, the opening of a cooler, a crackling campfire".
Flight looks at mannerisms and style and includes helpful comments like this: "…spooky in its silence, its floating, time-suspended buoyancy and in the bird's ability to glide through branches with smoke-like ease" Finally, some but not all species, get a Pertinent Particulars footnote in which Pete shares other stuff you'll certainly be richer (or even safer) for knowing. In the case of the Gray Jay he writes: " Gray Jays occur in the same range and habitat as Grizzly Bears and Black Bears, which also respond to pishing in general and squealing in particular. You might want to consider this before trying to imitate a wounded bird or animal in vegetation so dense that it prevents you from seeing what might be approaching (or is already there)."
You should by now have some idea of what a valuable back up piece of work this is. Countless times I have returned from a field trip with my mind still savoring a species or two. By reading Pete's book I've always added to the experience and enriched the day.

to nine months in the peniten

The charge -against them was
conspiracy in connection with the
great suffragette window smash

the year.
The three leaders df the mili

to be convicted. When the jury
brought in the verdict of guilty
with a recommendation of mer
cy," Mrs. Pankhurst covered her
face, with her hands.
"God help us ; our cause is just !"
she cried.
Lawrence defended himself,
.his wife, and Mrs. Pankhurst.
s His chief point was an attack
6n the motives of the government
for prosecuting them under the
penal code.
All three of the defendants con
sidered their offenses of a politi
cal nature, and wished to stand
trial as political prisoners.
Mrs. Pankhurst made an im
passioned speech in the court.
She protested against trial before
a male magistrate and jury when
thd right of suffrage was denied
her and her associates.
The crown prosecutor demand
ed conviction. He said that thfe
crown had shown that the three
defendants were largely respon
sible for the window smashing
would no longer be safe, in the
United Kingdpm unless the de
fendants were, made examples of.
When the jury retired, Mr. and
Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. Pank
hurst were smiling. They were
quite sure of acquittal.
I he suffragette leaders prob
ably will be taken to dreary Dart
moor prison to serve their nine
months' sentence.
Cristobal Pankhurst, daughter
of Mrs. Pankhurst, was jointly
charged with the others at the
time the indictments were drawn.
She either went into hiding or
fled the country. The authorities
have been unable to find her.

Solving cryptograms is fun!
"I'll be busy for quite a while crypto-ing to my heart's content. I have a zillion wonderful things to say about your product, you and your customer service. I'm your fan for life!" Linda J.
When you order Crypto!, you'll get over 15,000 puzzles for a lifetime of solving fun!
Windows 95/98/NT4/2000/me/XP, and all versions of Vista and Windows 7and 8.
US$16.95 for one computer; $2.50 for each additional computer. You will be able to download Crypto! immediately after placing your order.
For an additional US$5.00 we will mail you a CD-ROM (there is a $3 shipping charge for this if you are not in North America). The CD has simple point-and-click installation and includes additional shareware and other software that is too big to send via download. The CD also serves as a backup in case you ever need to reinstall Crypto!.
The CD-ROM also includes a puzzle file that contains the entire text of the Holy Bible (King James version). If you do not order the CD, you can download this puzzle file here at no charge.
The current version is 4.2. View a list of the new features in this version. Registered users of version 3.0 or later can download a free update to 3.10.
Crypto! selects a quote or phrase and encrypts it by scrambling the letters (for example, A stands for M, B stands for H, etc.) To solve the cryptogram, you have to figure out what the letters stand for. To give you an idea how this is done, here is a Crypto! puzzle that has been partially solved:
The left part of the window shows the quote: the red letters are the cryptogram, and the blue letters above them are the player's guesses of what they stand for. On the right you will see a list of the letters that haven't yet been used, a table showing the letter frequencies in the puzzle, and the number of hints used and time elapsed so far.
To work the puzzle, you use the mouse to click the letter you want to solve. It is easy--watch this example of a puzzle being solved!
One of the best clues to solving cryptograms is the letter frequencies. The most common letters in English text are e, t, o, a, n, i, r, s, and h; the letters that appear most often in the puzzle may (but are not guaranteed to) be one of these. When solving puzzles by hand, you have to compute the frequencies yourself--Crypto! makes solving puzzles more fun by taking care of this chore for you.
To guess at a letter in the puzzle (called ciphertext), click on it with the mouse. Then click on the letter in the Unused Letters box you think it stands for. Your chosen letter (called plaintext) will appear above each of the ciphertext letters you first clicked.
If you prefer, you can make selections with the keyboard instead of the mouse. First, type the ciphertext letter, then type the plaintext letter. The result is the same as if you had clicked them with the mouse.
The worst part of solving a cryptogram puzzle with pencil and paper is all the erasing needed to correct a mistake. With Crypto!, fixing a mistake is easy: just click the letter with the right mouse button to erase it! Solving puzzles is more fun because it is easier to try different letter combinations.
If you get stuck solving a puzzle, you can ask for a hint. A big hint tells you about a letter that is used many times, and a little hint tells you about an infrequently used letter. You can confirm that your choices so far are right, or undo any errors you may have made. But each hint you ask for adds seconds to your time, so if you're watching the clock, you'll want to use hints sparingly.
You can also point to a word in the puzzle and get a list of the words that it might be.
To make the print bigger, go to the Options menu and choose Change Font. Pick whatever font and size you prefer. After doing this, you may want to resize the screen so that everything fits in the window. Take a look at an example of 15 point bold Courier.
You can also solve puzzles from books or newspapers with Crypto! Just type in the puzzle, and Crypto! will calculate its letter frequencies. You can also create puzzles of your own--enter an ordinary phrase or quote and Crypto! will make a cryptogram from it.
You can print puzzles to solve when you're away from your computer, or print puzzles you've created for your friends to solve!
You can choose the font and text size you prefer. You can also choose the colors for different text elements. The letter frequencies and scores can appear on the left or the right, or you can choose not to show them at all. Purists will prefer to show the puzzle either as all capital letters or all small letters. If you wish, you can change the time penalties for the various hints. Finally, you can change (or turn off) the sounds that are played when you ask for a hint, make an error, or solve a puzzle.
"For some, part of getting up every morning is the first cup of coffee and the newspaper crossword puzzle. I prefer to rise to a cup of strong black coffee and a new Crypto to start the day right. Thanks again." Janice L.
It's a lot more fun to play Crypto! than it is to read about it! Why not download the 30-day free trial and try it out?
