Nintendo declared a discharge date for Super Mario Run for Macbook , however that is not all. The organization likewise put out a "presentation" video for the auto-runner, which clarifies how it works and shows what it would seem that. As Nintendo said when it declared Super Mario Run in September, the amusement is playable with one hand, as Mario keeps running without anyone else. You then tap the screen to make Mario hop, keep away from deterrents, procure things, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. Look at the video beneath:
Super Mario Run dispatches on December 15 for iOS gadgets running iOS 8 or more up to date. The amusement is additionally coming to Android, however a discharge date has not been declared for that stage.
The amusement is allowed to download, however to get boundless access to its three modes, you have to pay. It stays to be perceived how restricted the free form might be or if there will microtransactions past this.
Super Mario Run is Nintendo's second cell phone diversion, taking after Super Mario Run for Android. No less than two more amusements are coming, including those in light of the Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem establishments.
For on Super Mario Run for Android, look at GameSpot's meeting with Mario maker Shigeru Miyamoto, in which he discusses how the amusement holds "the center embodiment of what makes a Mario diversion a Mario amusement."

Did Las Vegas copyright enforcement company Righthaven LLC play a federal judge last year? And is it now payback time for the judge?
That's the question raised by the unusually critical language about Righthaven, its copyright lawsuit partner Stephens Media LLC and their attorneys in two orders issued last week by Roger Hunt, chief United States District Court Judge for Nevada.
Here's the background: After Righthaven and Stephens Media started their litigation spree in March 2010, some of the defendants that bothered to fight back did so with the argument that Righthaven lacked standing to sue over material from Stephens Media's Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Their argument was based in part on the fact that Righthaven, as a so-called copyright troll, didn't use its copyrights for anything but lawsuits. They said Righthaven spotted infringements, later obtained copyrights to infringed material and then filed suit retroactively. In order to sue, these defendants said, Righthaven needed to own the copyright on the day of the infringement. And they said it needed full ownership of the copyright – not just rights to sue over accrued infringements.
And it was Hunt who was among the first federal judges hearing Righthaven lawsuits who upheld that right to sue on a retroactive basis, based on the supposedly "exclusive" copyright assignment provided to him by Righthaven.
"The (copyright) assignment in question clearly assigns both the exclusive copyright ownership, together with accrued causes of action, i.e., infringements past, present and future," Hunt wrote in a September ruling denying a Righthaven defendant's motion to dismiss.
That ruling was cited by Righthaven in fighting subsequent dismissal motions, and with Hunt being the chief judge in Nevada it probably carried some weight.
Fast forward to today.
Righthaven has lost two of its lawsuits on fair-use rulings, faces a judge critical of its tactics in Denver and is dealing with some politically-connected attorneys pursing a heated counterclaim against it in South Carolina. It appears that in the South, those folks are pretty adamant that it's not the gentlemanly thing to do to hit a nonprofit blogger with a $150,000, no-warning lawsuit.
Righthaven's biggest problem currently, though, was Hunt's ruling Friday unsealing the copyright-transfer arrangement between Righthaven and Stephens Media.
This Strategic Alliance agreement shows some things Hunt likely wasn't aware of in September when he allowed the Righthaven suit to go forward.
Instead of having an "exclusive" copyright, Righthaven only obtained rights to file lawsuits. Everything else – the right to display and distribute stories, the right to choose who could and could not be sued, etc. – was retained by Stephens Media. Along with a 50 percent cut of lawsuit profits.
Hunt, of course, isn't talking -- yet -- about whether the Strategic Alliance agreement undercuts his own ruling giving Righthaven the right to sue.
But he didn't have much nice to say about Righthaven, Stephens Media and their attorneys in two orders Friday.
In rejecting arguments by attorneys for Righthaven and Stephens Media that attorneys for the Democratic Underground had been underhanded in trying to get the Strategic Alliance unsealed, Hunt called some of their language in court briefs "very unprofessional" and wrote: " There is an old adage in the law that, if the facts are on your side, you pound on the facts. If the law is on your side, you pound on the law. If neither the facts nor the law is on your side, you pound on the table. It appears there is a lot of table pounding going on here."
In another order, it appears he was noting the irony of Righthaven trying to get out of its suit against the Democratic Underground with Righthaven paying no attorney's fees to the Democratic Underground and the Democratic Underground not even winning a fair-use declaration – for four paragraphs of a 34-page Review-Journal story.
"Righthaven and Stephens Media have attempted to create a cottage industry of filing copyright claims, making large claims for damages and then settling claims for pennies on the dollar, with defendants who do not want to incur the costs of defending the lawsuits, (and) are now offended when someone has turned the tables on them and insisting on a judgment in their favor rather than a simple dismissal of the lawsuit," Hunt wrote.
At issue in that order was whether the Democratic Underground would be able to beef up its legal arguments against Righthaven based on the newly-discovered Strategic Alliance agreement.
Righthaven has said this newly-disclosed evidence does not undermine its lawsuits, but Hunt wrote it "goes to the very heart of this litigation."
But that wasn't the end of the drubbing by Hunt of Righthaven. In another case last week, he threw out Righthaven's standard lawsuit demand that defendants forfeit their website domain names – widely seen as a settlement-negotiating tool – and said there may be merit to claims Righthaven doesn't have the right to claim attorney's fees in its lawsuits.
It's not over yet for Righthaven, of course. Its attorneys will likely be filing briefs explaining why Hunt was right back in September to uphold its right to sue and will cite lots of case law.
But then, U.S. District Judge James Mahan commented during a hearing that attorneys can find case law to back up pretty much any argument.
That was before Mahan rejected Righthaven's case-law citations and ruled a Portland, Ore., nonprofit was protected by fair use in posting a Las Vegas Review-Journal story for which Righthaven claimed to own through a copyright transfer.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation and its affiliated attorneys who represent the Democratic Underground are the ones who got Hunt to unseal the Strategic Alliance agreement, and they're eager to deal with whatever arguments Righthaven makes about the contract.
Stephens Media has some explaining to do as well, EFF attorney Kurt Opsahl said in an online post Monday.
"In short, the (copyright) 'assignment' is a sham, Righthaven's claim has been baseless from the outset. Stephens Media, which has struggled to hold the litigation at arms length, is the true and exclusive owner of the copyright and the only entity with standing to bring a copyright claim," Opsahl wrote.
"So why didn't the public know this until now? Stephens Media and Righthaven have gone to great lengths to conceal their scheme, starting long before they challenged our request to unseal their business agreement.
"In the Nevada Federal Court, Righthaven is required to list all the entities who have a `direct, pecuniary interest' in the outcome of lawsuit – i.e. everyone who is going to make money if Righthaven wins – right at the beginning of the lawsuit. Righthaven, however, omits to mention Stephens Media even though the agreement splits the recovery 50/50 with the publisher," Opsahl wrote.
We'll let you know when Stephens Media and Righthaven attorneys file the next set of briefs that observers say will be critical in either salvaging Righthaven's existing lawsuits over Review-Journal material – or seeing them dismissed on a mass basis.
In the meantime, this is far from the only issue Righthaven is facing.
It's trying to fend off attorneys for the Media Bloggers Association and claim some lawsuit winnings from defaulting defendant Bill Hyatt. That case could be crucial in determining how much exactly a Righthaven lawsuit is really worth.
And yet another Colorado Righthaven lawsuit defendant over a Denver Post TSA photo is fighting back.
This time, the defendants, Q Communications Inc. and Don Tuthill (passportmagazine.com), represented by Denver attorney Dwight L. Pringle, are hitting Righthaven with defenses we've heard before: "Defendants' use of the purported work was protected by the fair use doctrine… Plaintiff is not the exclusive owner of the purported work and may not be the real party in interest... Plaintiff is engaged in a champertous scheme and should not benefit there from."
We've heard the champerty charge before from, among others, attorneys for the Democratic Underground who charged in their counterclaim: "Righthaven and Stephens Media are engaged in 'barratry,' 'champerty' and 'maintenance' by spawning transactions designed for no purpose other than to pursue litigation."
Stephens Media and Righthaven, however, say their lawsuits are necessary to stop rampant online infringement of Review-Journal material.

Calling videogames "a compelling avant-garde performance space, activated by artists and players alike" (catchy!), the Smithsonian said that Halo 2600 and Flower would be joining the national collection of American art as part of an art of videogames exhibit — and they're just the beginning.
What's interesting, though, is that the games weren't just picked up for their visual appeal, or even as an example of what we're all doing with our free time. They were also grabbed because the Smithsonian wants to start archiving source code — which has some interesting implications beyond videogames as well. From curator Michael Mansfield:
"'Flower' and 'Halo 2600' are important additions to our collection, but they are just the beginning of our work in this area. By bringing these games into a public collection, the museum has the opportunity to investigate both the material science of video game components and develop best practices for the digital preservation of the source code for the games themselves."
So, what do you think about the newest additions to the Smithsonian's collection? And what other kinds of source code — games or otherwise — from our daily lives deserves to be held on to and preserved?

UK: Foreign Secretary's Ramadan Message.
Message from the Foreign Sec William Hague:
"As-Salaam Alaikum. As the Islamic holy month of Ramadan begins I want to send as British Foreign Secretary good wishes to Muslims across the globe.
This is a very important time in the calendar. It's a time of fasting, of prayer, of introspection, of the gathering of families and I'm very conscious as a British politician of the huge contribution that so many Muslims in Britain make across the whole breadth of our society and that is something of course that we want to see even more of in the future.
So it's a very, very important time of year celebrating what Ramadan is about, important values of selflessness, of charity, of compassion, of looking after people less fortunate than ourselves. And these are values of course that unite Muslims and non Muslims alike.
So at this special time of year I say to you, your friends and your relatives, Ramadan Mubarak."

It's amazing what you can learn about a person in 140 characters or less.
Take the Twitter page of Maya Moore. Her mini-bio at the top is a good place to start:
Basketball player, daughter, & drummer. Friend & red velvet cake lover.
So few words, so much meaning.
Basketball player. And how! The youngest member of the U.S. Olympic team—now in London for the 2012 Games—Moore, 23, is not only one of the world's best but perhaps the winningest. Ever. Since ninth grade, the 6-foot forward has played almost 400 games, winning 97 percent of them. That includes three high-school state titles, two NCAA championships and a 90-game win streak at the University of Connecticut (as a two-time national player of the year), a WNBA crown with the Minnesota Lynx as the league's rookie of the year, and most recently, a EuroLeague championship with a pro team in Valencia, Spain. Now she hopes to add Olympic gold to the list.
Daughter. Moore can't say enough about her mother, Kathryn, who "has helped me to grow into a smart young woman who keeps things in perspective." Kathryn taught her only child—named after Maya Angelou—the value of faith, family, and hard work. When Moore was 11, Kathryn and her daughter left the comfort of extended family in Jefferson City, Missouri, and moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where Kathryn was starting a new job. "It was a hard, lonely time," Maya tells Christianity Today, remembering how middle-school kids mocked her height—she towered over everyone—and her size 13 shoes.
"It was tough," she says. "My mom and I had to figure out how to do things on our own. Like, were we going to go to church because we'd ...1

Dragon's lair CD-i playing on SNK's Neo 29
>> Tuesday, March 31, 2009
CD-i member tlh did something special: "My 220 is displaying Dragons Lair on my Neo 29. Wow! by tapping a pure rgb signal from my 220 mainboard, I have streaming video on my Neo and the Neo has never looked so good. The video was easy, but the control swap was a nightmare. The CDI uses variable voltage for the interactive control. Neo arcades just use 5 volt on and off micro switches. The two are not interchangeable. I had to get out the resistors, caps and Ic's. Ouch!" In february we showed you a similar Arcade version of CD-i, but this is very different!

MISS DIOR SOFT POUCHESCategories:Other Brands
Ridiculously gorgeous – the Miss Dior Soft Pouches were released a few months ago, adding another lady bag to the iconic line.
The design is separated into two parts – first the 'Cannage Stitching' is embellished all over the bag except for the top flap, which is introduced in smooth leather.
While the name 'pouches' has been chosen, but in reality it's a small shoulder bag and somewhat bigger than the WOC's (Wallet On Chain Bag). You can carry it by hand like an evening clutch, but it does come with a 20 cm shoulder chain. The shoulder chain can be removed anytime you want.
So sling this bag around your shoulder from day to night. And flaunt with the House's iconic clasp wherever you go.
The interior is reasonably sized with one large compartment, three card slots and one flat pocket. It measured 15 x 11 x 3 cm and priced at €750 euro, £640 GBP

THE NEW CHANEL REISSUE 2.55 NUDE BAG IN SOFT LEATHERCategories:Other Brands
It looks like the House of Chanel is going to re-live the glorious days of the famous Chanel Reissue 2.55, a bag personally designed by Coco Chanel herself. It's the classic flap bag that never goes out of style, talk about creating lasting impression in the fashion world.
History has it that sometime in the 1920's, Coco was fed up of carrying her handbags in her arms so she decided to design her own handbag that freed up her hands. Finding inspiration on soldiers' bags, she found an ingenious way to add thin straps and introduced this timeless bag to the public in 1929. The said bag made its triumphant comeback in 1954 and Chanel further updated the said handbag. The finished product is now known as the 2.55 Bag named after the date of its creation, February 1955.
Karl Lagerfeld, the brains behind Chanel reintroduced the 2.55 Flap Bag and later became known as the 'Reissue'. Apparently, Chanel is going to introduce a new line of bags that require appreciable technical expertise in treating the leather which gradually acquires a patina that gives each bag its unique appeal. Voila! And now you have the Reissue 2.55 bag in soft leather.
Now let's take a good look at the new Chanel Reissue 2.55 Bag in Soft Leather. At first glance, it looks quite the same with the original bag but looking closer, there's actually more to see. The new 2.55 bag's bottom is crafted in red/burgundy color and if you really pay close attention to details, you'll definitely appreciate the added elegant chain which more looks like a necklace's chain to us. These are new changes that Chanel lovers would undoubtedly be smitten with.

DIOR SOFT BAG WITH CANNAGE EMBROIDERYCategories:Other Brands
All right, before we dive into the stories and details of this new Dior Soft Bag style, we need to share something important first…
The Dior Soft Tote has been altered and mostly in the interior. The latest version is embellished with a zipper that goes to the sides, making it easier to access open pockets. The older version will slowly vanish from the stock, they will not be produced anymore. And now back to the story.
Now presenting the Dior Soft Tote Bag with Cannage Embroidery, a new style (well, not entirely new). The Cannage stitching has always been the icon of Dior and it has been featured in many Soft Tote Bag (in all sizes and colours), even in the Dior Soft Flap Bag. But once a while, Dior comes with something unique that's different than the original version.
Instead of small diamond patterns lining up to each other, the Cannage Embroidery diamond patterns are larger. And if you screen through our Dior Classic Bag Collection article, you will notice that it's almost like the same design as the Dior Granville Bag (Tada!).
Whether it's the Cannage Stitching or the Cannage Embroidery, they are both magnificent. Both represent the reinterpretation of Dior's emblem. The Dior Soft Tote Bag is practical and timeless, the perfect accessory for every errand an occasion.

Chanel Soft Leather 2.55 CollectionCategories:Other Brands
You should have already read the first post on Chanel's Soft Leather 2.55 collection, an icon in its own right that quite literally has been given new skin. And the skin in this case refers to the 'soft leather' you'll find on these 2.55 bags that should be launched sometime in Singapore come June 2016.
Why is this leather so special then, you ask? Well, for starters, it's cut only from a certain portion of the entire skin, where it's the softest and also has the fewest imperfections for that almost flawless finish. It's also lightly-treated, meaning when it came to treating and tanning the leather, not that much was done, which would allow the leather to patina most beautifully over time. Or in layman's terms, age.
So unlike leather that has been botoxed and varnished to a hilt (you know, like the ladies you see when you flip through society magazines), this leather, like the real you, is supposed to age over time, and take on characteristics unique to its owner, from tiny nicks where your pinky's nail digs into the side of the bag, to minor creases that resemble the crow's feet on your face. Ok, maybe not the best way to sell any leather bag, but you know what I mean, and if you're big on that whole aged, vintage look, rest assured that this will happen slowly but surely with this 2.55.
And because I managed to spend quality time with these beauties over the weekend, here's the rest of what you need to know about these 2.55 bags. For starters, one of the versions we'll get in Singapore will come with a two-tone grosgrain and chain trim that will run along from underside to the sides of the bag. Then there's the metal chain sling, which, if you look closely enough, comes beautifully-etched on the sides of the metal pieces. The cameo charms that come with each bag? One's of Coco Chanel herself, the other is a lion, which also happens to be the Coco Chanel's zodiac sign, the Leo.
Then there's the inside, each 2.55 double-flap bag lined with tactile suede, where you'll find a front pocket and a larger compartment on the back with 3 separate patch pocket compartments. A flap with button closure keeps everything secure, before the main flap goes over everything else for that added bit of 'security'. To finish it off, Chanel's reassuring Made In France label is sewn below the CC logo that's stitched onto the flap.
Last, but by no means least, there's an additional patch pocket on the back of the bag, but I guess you already knew that. What you don't know is the two colours it will come in when it is launched sometime in June this year, the first, a Navy that you see in the first snap, and this, which is a warmer, slightly darker colour they are calling Camel. Both colours are gorgeous, you just need to decide when you see the 24 cm by 16 cm by 7.5 cm bags (priced at SGD7280 each, by the way) in Chanel boutiques in a couple of months.

Runcible Spoon
A piece of toast cracks like slate
when it's the only sound in the room
and the only room in the world. The toast
is lonely, Jim sighs as he pockets the burnt bread.
When it's the only sound in the room
Jim's voice is thin as his ribs
and lonely: he sighs as he pockets the toast
wasting nothing, soaking each crumb.
Jim's voice is thin as his ribs
when he sits at his table, in his corner
wasting nothing, soaking each crumb
with butter or cream or cold coffee.
When he sits at his table, in his corner
Jim listens to the sounds of the room
rich with butter and cream and coffee
between his teeth.
Beth: This is not Micah's strongest work, I don't think. There's something a bit like Bishop about the poem, a matter-of-fact and distanced tone which appeals to me on some level, and in fact there's a bit of Bishop's sestina "Miracle for Breakfast" here with the toast and coffee references. But the poem feels "thin." Jim is a gesture of a character not actualized in the poem, and the situation feels not fully realized. Why is this "the only room in the world"? Finally, I wonder what we are meant to feel by this one.
Dustin: I think you have a great beginning with "A piece of toast cracks like slate / when it's the only sound in the room." I'm also quite fond of "Jim's voice is thin as his ribs." I think you complete the assignment by splitting the sentence "A piece of toast cracks like slate between his teeth," but what you have between the split isn't very compelling to me.
Dana: I love pantoums and I've written a lot of them, so I was smitten with this piece right away. I didn't mind the variation with the third-to-last and last lines not repeating lines three and one, but it did make the poem feel a little incomplete, and I wonder if there could be another stanza to tie the piece up. While the poem does exploit the variations that can occur when each line is repeated — one of my favorite aspects of the pantoum form — I don't feel that overall the variance was leveraged as much as it could have been. Also, there was some confusion in the poem, which can happen in the pantoum as lines are brought back. One instance of this was the bread being pocketed but also being soaked. On re-reading, I understand that the bread is being pocketed and the crumbs from the bread are being soaked, but it's a little confusing at first.
Guest Judge Dara Wier: Who doesn't like a runcible spoon? And there being but one room in the world, well, that's good to think with, too. I really like the recycling ways with the lines, I love how it makes both sonic and sense insistently inevitable. I like this poem a lot. It is also fun to translate "Jim" into "I" just to see what happens then.
Thus the private asylum is far
thus he cannot
get there but by boat.
Thus he will pay the ferryman
in moon-fat coins.
Thus he will thunder
over cowlicked waves
in a rot-bottomed barge
to grasp the scrawny shore.
How he has festered in his prophecies,
and oh what the Stakes are
in this Seeing!
It's all in the Semantics--
the wording and the Interpretation:
somewhere lurks a shelter
in which he may learn
dreamspeak. Thus he will shamble
through the hoary copse,
trample the backs of mud-deep moles
with his scabrous feet for passage.
He will breathe the sick-mist,
let their neuro-germs seep in
through his most judicious eye.
But he has exhausted
his amulets too soon; been made to beg
provisions from the enemy.
It is said: a silver-tongued
saint deceives us all. It is
said: there are no angels on this plane.
Always there's another gummy step
on his odyssey to the silent pool,
but nothing will hold
still in all this bruise and teal.
The sky presses its mattress full
of squids upon his mouth
to suffocate his warnings. The chatter
of the assassin bugs is ceaseless. Peace
is always never-jam-today; always
beyond his reach at the present.
Beth: I have been a fan or Kristen's inventive, sonic, surprising language throughout the competition, and this poem's language is no exception: " he will pay the ferryman/in moon-fat coins./…will thunder/over cowlicked waves/in a rot-bottomed barge/ to grasp the scrawny shore." "The sky presses its mattress full/of squids." The mythological story also works beautifully here to ground the poem and give it resonance and breadth. I'm not as wild about the way the poem ends the "never-jam-today" is a bit awkward and there's a kind of falling away, but this is a strong poem given the parameters of the assignment.
Dustin: Kristen, I have to give you kudos for selecting "Thus the private asylum is far beyond his reach at the present"-- I think it was the hardest option to work with. My favorite lines: "It is said: a silver-tongued / saint deceives us all." Yes, you have beautiful language. Yes, you have lovely images. Yes, you always do a good job with the assignment. However, I can't help but feel there is a little something missing, for me at least. Maybe you are leaving something out. Are you writing furiously, then stop thinking it might be too much? Either way, I still enjoyed this poem quite a lot.
Dana: Are you kidding me? This poem is amazing. For me, this is one of the best pieces overall in the competition so far. The way the rich, lush language works against the short lines is thrilling. The poem is so tight but so language-dense. I loved reading from line to line to see what goodies the next line would bring, and I was not once disappointed. I especially love the line, "trample the backs of mud-deep moles." And when I got to, "The sky presses its mattress full / of squids upon his mouth," I couldn't even get past the lines because I wanted to read them over and over. I finally managed to read the rest of the poem, though.
Guest Judge Dara Wier: The anachronistic therefore idiomatic "thus" completely seduces me. Immediately feel in the presence of an oracle or at least a fiesty judge, turns out there's but one part of this poem that maybe could be changed.
Even though this is probably true:
It's all in the Semantics--
the wording and the Interpretation:
somewhere lurks a shelter
in which he may learn
it's not needed in this poem. If you left this part out the poem's not about to appear as any kind of lesson, it's more mysterious and I like that a lot. "The chatter / of the assassin bugs is ceaseless," is just great.
Added to "thus" come other rhetorical insistences most enjoyable (funny how so called transitions can make or break a poem, these make it). This is also great to read translated into first person.
Because As A Youth, My Love Was Sure His Wife Would Want His Name
He already has
her plucked! This is years
before we saunter down the aisle—
I'm sleuthing time's back
alleys, a wedded Nancy Drew. Suddenly,
I unearth Mrs. Peck! His conjured lady
wife; she's lounged, facedown upon
a paisley chaise. Perfection: she lifts
her sleepy chin: sphinxy girl—
a bas relief Colette. 'Sorry,'
she says, 'have we met?'
Oh, my dear, we have. In dreams,
and in the sun. I've decked you out
in paper aprons; you cooled the piping
steam from my mud pies. You peeked
out from my Mother's sad brown eyes.
I ask, 'What's it like to be
a flat, two-sided bride?' 'Every woman
is imagined!' she huffs out— a thunder-
cloud of pride. 'I've seen you
in the shower, how you wish
your body gone— your wet lark's
an execution song! You grasp and wring
your glutted flesh, you'd hack it off, if
only—!' Now she pancakes down to size—
smoothes her chignon, rolls her cobalt
eyes; they turn familiar, brown! 'Sometimes,
I think he still wants you around,'
I whisper, look the other way. 'It's not
too late,' she jeers, 'Let's call you
Mrs. Peck.' She bids her hollow
hand— it glints! Hot diamond in a flame.
She smiles a white mirage.
She Mona Lisa's me.
I tell her I already have
a name, she sighs reproachfully.
Beth: This is a fun and inventive poem exploring sexual dynamics. I like the light deftness of the way the poem moves "I've decked you out /
in paper aprons; you cooled the piping / steam from my mud pies." and 'What's it like to be / a flat, two-sided bride?' Another fine job with a tough assignment.
Dustin: Again, you create a long title for your poem. Again, the long title works. I think this title would cause people to go from the table of contents directly to your poem. You also selected a sentence that no one else used: "He already has a name, she sighs reproachfully." I am in love with "I'm sleuthing time's back / alleys, a wedded Nancy Drew," and I really enjoyed "Now she pancakes down to size." On the other hand, I am not really feeling "She Mona Lisa's me." In the end, I think you handled the assignment well. Emily, give us an interesting story between.
Dana: Emily, I love the creativity in this piece and so much of what is going on throughout. A couple of things hung me up, though. I had trouble settling into the poem and understanding what exactly was going on at first. The "he" and "her" in lines one and two made the "we" in line three confusing, and even the explanation in the second stanza, along with the title, wasn't clear enough to orient me immediately. Don't get me wrong — I am not arguing that poetry has to be "accessible" in that way that everyone talks about poetry being accessible. I just wanted a smoother on-ramp into the piece, if that makes sense. The other thing I noticed was a lot of long "i" sounds in the fifth through seventh stanzas, with "piping, "pies," "eyes," "like," "bride" and "pride." You have rhyme and assonance in the rest of the piece, but not the same sounds over and over, and that made this section of the poem sound and feel different from the rest of the piece.
Guest Judge Dara Wier:
...I've decked you out
in paper aprons; you cooled the piping
steam from my mud pies. You peeked
out from my Mother's sad brown eyes.
I ask, 'What's it like to be
a flat, two-sided bride
is my favorite part of this poem, and I'm also intrigued by the dramatic monologue quality that's immediately territorially in action here. I listen. I listen in to a conversation that's reported. There's a sphinx, Nancy Drew, Mona Lisa, Mrs. Peck, Mother, Colette, a populated poem! I appreciate how these 3 line stanzas create vertical action in the poem's narration/dialog. And I admire the work the poem's title does.
Continually Calling On Persephone
A piece of toast
blackened beyond a clean shave
with the best serrated knife.
Nothing a little butter, a little marmalade
can't sweeten. Over breakfast
I ask what love isn't half stale anyway?
Akhmatova answered this: the first helpless and frightening glance.
I remember them all. Boys, really.
The evening of their eyes starless, lit only by my face.
Their longing dangerous. Mine, too.
You, sir, are mistaken: a siren cannot not sing.
And pleasure slackens desire.
We walk along the hard crest of the snowdrift.
The shiver is not from the cold.
Whatever was promised me
cracks like slate between his teeth.
*Poem contains lines from two Anna Akhmatova poems translated by Jane Kenyon.
Beth: Though I like many of the lines in this poem "I ask what love isn't half stale anyway?" "I remember them all. Boys, really. / The evening of their eyes starless, lit only by my face," the contemporary situation of the poem feels a but insular to me. I think the poem needs to be teased out more. The lines: "You, sir, are mistaken: a siren cannot not sing. / And pleasure slackens desire." don't let me in enough. I do like the ending lines, and the situation of the poem is intriguing.
Dustin: The title of this poem really piqued my interest; however, I don't feel the poem lives up to its title. I don't feel like there is enough between "A piece of toast" and "cracks like slate between his teeth." I also feel with more time that you could turn this into a much better poem.
Dana: It's interesting to see three different takes on the "piece of toast" line. All three poems are so different, and I like your approach very much, especially the quiet intimacy of it, the narrator's meditation and revelations. Lines such as "The evening of their eyes starless" and "And pleasure slackens desire" are standout moments in the poem. I stumbled over the double negative of "a siren cannot not sing," but that's a small detail. The turn created with the line you chose is remarkable, the way you move from "A piece of toast" to "Whatever was promised me / cracks like slate between his teeth." Look at all the territory this poem covers in just a few lines.
Guest Judge Dara Wier: I think you can leave off the note that tells from where the lifted lines come. Either we know it or we don't, and if we do, fine, if we don't fine. The note's a great big interruption in a poem such as this (notes can be incorporated into a poem's very being, or appear elsewhere). I love
"The shiver is not from the cold."
Breakfast with Walt
A piece of toast cracks
into a broken line. His face is the wing of a flightless bird.
The crumbs of gathered eggs are caught in his beard.
My orange juice is half full, it casts a glaze
over his manuscript, stretched epigraph to postscript,
laid out between the knives and the pepper mill.
A bit of shell was lost in the egg batter, an island
bound to the dreams of mapmakers, a flea
on a wedding dress. Walt is still drunk
from the night before -- we sipped HD
until our lips were salty as the sea's edge
where blooms take root.
Behind my breakfast nook
there is a window framing trees, still
as iambs in a sturdy breeze. I tell Walt
that leaves of parsley seem to me to be
the uncut hair of omelettes. The great poet frowns
around a mouthful of food -- he's found the shell. It sings
like slate between his teeth.
Beth: I like the imagined scenario here, and some of the lines/metaphors are quite nice "His face is the wing of a flightless bird." "A bit of shell was lost in the egg batter, an island/ bound to the dreams of mapmakers, a flea/ on a wedding dress." I have to say though that finally, I'm not all that excited by this poem. I think my main question for it is that it doesn't move much beyond itself in the telling. It has a kind of flatness and the arc of the poem doesn't for me have enough metaphoric reach.
Dustin: I am actually disappointed that you selected "A piece of toast cracks like slate between his teeth." I thought you would have went with another option. This poem is not lacking in images. We even have writers popping up. I do love a poem full of images, but I am not sure if this poem is about to be on image overload. I do not like "still / as iambs in a sturdy breeze." I would say something, but I've already said it two or three times in my comments to you. This is not your best work in the competition.
Dana: Another piece of toast! This poem has a kind of playfulness that I really enjoy. I especially love the second stanza, the way you start out in lines one and two with iambs, then describe the trees as iambs. That's a wonderful interplay between content and rhythm. And the rest of the stanza is outstanding, including the parsley as omelets hair and Walt frowning around his food. The only part that tripped me up was "to me to be." The first stanza has a lot of great imagery, but it felt less polished than the second. I felt myself wanting to pull a few words out and tighten a bit as I read it.
Guest Judge Dara Wier: "a flea on a wedding dress," is worthy of a latter day Emily Dickinson! I wonder what HD thinks about being in here, probably that HD (the very proud HD likes it a lot). I'm not crazy about "still as iambs" but maybe it's growing on me.........esp. when I see how close, for the first time! iambs is to lambs. And the poem turns toward a tonal joke in its 3rd to last line in a way that's pretty fetching. "...the uncut hair of omlettes," that's funny. And since you're obeying the assignment's orders, I find that all the more funny. I wonder if you were going to disobey, if you'd end the poem very differently.
My Grandma's Breast
As soon as he saw her
crying in the bath, hand cupped
over something on her chest—
an engorged tick, head buried
in skin an inch from her nipple—
her father thought of fire,
             my grandma said.
Only 13, she knelt in a tub,
screened off in the kitchen corner.
Stomping in from the porch
with all his "take charge"
Kentucky charm, her father
returned with an open flame.
His head half-turned, he held that burn
to the sucking creature at her breast,
until it let go in its inferno. Fear
and fire puckered her skin.
It hurt like Hell. Her eyes swelled
closed with tears from pain,
             for her lost modesty.
At 90, she repeats her story to me,
while my father dismisses this tall tale.
She admonishes him: his own cheek
rested on the scar in infancy;
his own lips worked in and out
beside that dime-sized injury.
She raises her voice to tell me
how hard it was to be a woman,
someone's rag doll or nurse maid,
fighting all the time with big boys
who thought they knew better.
She shakes her head and clucks her tongue
             at her son, my father,
when he says that even back then,
folks knew basic medicine: tweezers,
rubbing alcohol, or perhaps, rum,
and if a deer tick latched on
to a daughter a good man loved,
he knew that this wouldn't happen.
Beth: I am a sucker for the compelling narrative, and Kathi's poem certainly ropes me in from the get-go. That opening stanza (that title even!) is hard to beat. She is a natural story-teller, and we see this in the following section, which I'll paste in en toto:
Stomping in from the porch
with all his "take charge"
Kentucky charm, her father
returned with an open flame.
His head half-turned, he held that burn
to the sucking creature at her breast,
until it let go in its inferno. Fear
and fire puckered her skin.
I'm not sure fear can pucker the skin, but the sounds, the timing, the power of the scenario all work well. The penultimate stanza is less sonically rich and gets a little flat, and for me the last line doesn't quite fit, but this is definitely a strong draft and a top pick for me this week.
Dustin: You were the only person who selected "As soon as he saw her, he knew that this wouldn't happen," and you did a great job. This assignment was about what's betweent he split line, and you give us one heck of a story. I thoroughly enjoyed this poem, and it is my favorite for this week. Granted, I think you can be a little tighter in places. One place for me is:
She raises her voice to tell me
how hard it was to be a woman,
someone's rag doll or nurse maid,
fighting all the time with big boys
who thought they knew better.
She shakes her head and clucks her tongue
This is minor, but I really wanted a simile with the engorged tick-- something to make us see it more. I like your title; it will make readers do a double take. Good job, Kathi.
Dana: This is a strong piece, and I love the storytelling aspect of it, specifically the way this poem gets at the oral tradition in families and the disputes that can arise about what's real and what's made up and what's been amplified over the years of telling and retelling. I also like the reference to Hell and the inferno, with the story playing out on this teensy scale. I did feel that the piece could be tightened in places, including the first stanza. I don't know if "over something" needs to be there, and I would love to see what would happen if the poem went straight to the engorged tick, as opposed to hovering for a line on the nonspecificity of "something."
Guest Judge Dara Wier: Well, I'm feeling shy and almost embarrassed, wondering if I should be privy to the narrated events of this poem. Even the poem says so, after all, it's about a story, a family story, that's disputed and/or differently recalled, and at the very least differently interpreted. Of course that's what we do with stories, and if a story, as it seems to be in this case, is presented as a memory, yes, we are going to not only remember it in our different ways, we're going to assign it more or less importance. ("only 13" and "at 90" wind up being two of the most significant moments of the poem's character, maybe more of this (in a rhetorical way.....a formal way) would make the two instances of this seem less perfunctory and more intrinsic....I think it's close to being shaped into something great...........so.........maybe more imagination about what I'm supposed to be thinking would help transform an anecdotal piece into metaphorical territory.

Central Connecticut football seniors Taylor Fuller and Antwione Reese were named to the FCS All-New England Team on Monday afternoon. Fuller was one of five offensive linemen selected to the squad, while Reese earned one of the four slots in the defensive backfield. Both players earned First Team All-Northeast Conference honors last week.
The FCS All-New England Team was selected by the New England Football Writers' Association.
Reese led the Blue Devils in tackles from his safety position each of the last two seasons. He finished the 2013 season with 88 total tackles, including 38 solo stops. Reese's 7.3 tackles per game ranked him fourth in the NEC. He also had an interception, fumble recovery and three forced fumbles during his senior season.
Fuller was a cornerstone on a CCSU offensive line that set a school record for total offense in a season with 4,826 yards. Fuller and his fellow linemen allowed just five sacks all season. Through the conclusion of the regular season, CCSU's 0.42 sacks allowed per game is the best in the nation. The group also helped quarterback Nick SanGiacomo throw for a school record 20 touchdowns and junior Rob Hollomon rush for 1,452 yards on the season.
The duo of Fuller and Reese are the first Blue Devils to earn All-New England honors since defensive end Charles Williams following the 2011 season.

- Words by Mr Colin McDowell
Despite our nostalgic idealisation of the 1960s, it was the 1950s that were the true beginning of modernity in fashion and the arts - and nowhere more clearly than in the world of male film heroes. It was a question of "move over Messrs Gregory Peck and Cary Grant in your immaculately tailored perfection; come in the new young Turks to take your rightful place on cinema screens across the globe".
In a sense, it is Mr Delon's fault. In Cannes he was talent scouted by Hollywood for future world stardom but with the proviso that he would learn English. He went to Paris to study the language but was convinced to stay in France to begin his career, the base for the rest of his professional life.
Mr Delon became a role model for all the young men who wanted to be subversive in their dress - but not too much
It was a shrewd move, in fact, as the 1950s were the great period of rejuvenation in the French cinema, which in the 1960s became known as the New Wave. Mses Jeanne Moreau, Jean Seberg, Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve: it was a great time for actresses and also for the resolutely heterosexual Mr Delon.
With his perfectly sculpted face - all chiselled cheekbones and sensitive mouth - as a young man, Mr Delon was capable of looking both tough and classy. In the bloody and violent film Borsalino he acted with the other French heart-throb of the time, Mr Jean-Paul Belmondo. They were the Yin and Yang of young French manhood: Mr Belmondo a broken-nosed street-fighting guy; Mr Delon smooth but broodingly dangerous.
Born in 1935, Mr Delon had a complex youth and upbringing. He came from a broken home and was frequently expelled from school so he finished his formal education as soon as the law allowed. He joined the French Marines as a paratrooper and saw service in Indochina. Other jobs included being a waiter and also a porter in Les Halles.
Mr Delon got his big break as the eponymous star of Rocco and His Brothers, directed by Mr Luchino Visconti in 1960. The film was variously described as shattering and overwhelming. It gave Mr Delon an international profile, which was enhanced three years later when he played the handsome young officer, Tancredi, in Mr Visconti's film The Leopard. An Italian lady of my acquaintance who worked on the sets of the film said of Mr Delon that buckskin breeches must have been created with him in mind, he looked so perfectly right in them.
Mr Delon and his wife, actress Ms Nathalie Delon, Tancrou, France, 1966
There were many more films to come. A close friend of Ms Brigitte Bardot, he was engaged to the actress Ms Romy Schneider, who died in 1982, but that did not seem to affect the adulation of his female fans. His appearance, on or off the screen, played a leading role in the change in men's dress that began in France during the 1950s. He was almost always photographed in what might be called "bon chic, bon goût" dress, a look based on traditional English casual clothes but done with Gallic style.
Open-necked shirts, immaculate tailoring and always perfectly polished traditional shoes: Mr Delon became a role model for all the young men who wanted to be subversive in their dress - but not too much. In fairness, with the exception of the hippy existentialism of the Left Bank, France was still very hidebound in its male dress codes and Mr Delon's contribution in pushing them forward was notable but not spectacular.
Mr Delon now spends much of his time breeding racehorses and making rare public appearances where elderly ladies push and shove to see their hero who once said, with devastating simplicity and arrogance, "I like to be loved like I love myself." Don't we all?

Today I have the delightful chance to write about a deep and wonderful joy.
Yes, Laura and I are engaged!
There are no words adequate for this kind of occasion, but there is a picture that gets close:
I never imagined a person could find a friend so wonderful, a person that enjoys so much in common, someone that understands me and that I understand so well. And yet, here I am, engaged to that friend. "Amazing" only begins to describe the feeling.
One of the first things Laura and I talked about was a hymn I was tinkering with, typesetting with GNU LilyPond. That hymn ends like this:
"Since Love is Lord of heav'n and earth, how can I keep from singing?"
It is a wonderful thought, and very true. Even literally true; I often find myself singing, humming, or playing the penny whistle during my day.
One of my good friends once told me, "I am completely sure that your happiest days lie ahead of you." And he was right. I have already experienced them. This is a wonderful time, and every day brings plentiful reasons to be thankful. And as Laura and I prepare for a life together, I know that it is true not only that my friend was right, but that he is right — my happiest days are yet to come, and our happiest days are yet to come, too.
I have been blessed in many ways, and feel like the luckiest man alive.
To be loved, and to love, a person so wonderful is truly a remarkable gift.

On Sunday, one of my favorite television series will come to an end after a five-year run.
On Sunday, one of my favorite television series will come to an end after a five-year run.
AMC's "Breaking Bad" is regarded as one of the top dramas in television history, and two days ago, it won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series on TV.
"Breaking Bad" tells the story of Walter White's transformation from a high-school chemistry teacher to a ruthless drug dealer in New Mexico.
NFL fans also understand how a transformation can turn their team from championship contender to an also-ran.
It appears that may be happening right now with the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants.
From 2005-12, the Steelers and Giants combined to win four Super Bowls. But now both teams are a combined 0-6 and appear headed for long seasons.
Not all transformations are bad.
Just take a look at the New Orleans Saints.
Since winning Super Bowl XLIV following the 2009 season, the Saints defense started to get progressively worse. It probably cost the team a chance at winning another Super Bowl following the 2011 season.
The Saints opted to make a change at defensive coordinator, replacing Gregg Williams with Steve Spagnuolo. The change was ineffective, and the Saints finished with the worst defense in NFL history after giving up 7,042 yards.
Once returning from his season-long suspension due to the team's bounty scandal, Payton opted to make another change on the defensive side of the ball. Spagnuolo was out as defensive coordinator after only one season, and Rob Ryan was brought in to implement a new 3-4 scheme.
It's safe to say that Ryan is "Breaking Bad." Instead of it being White's transformation in the award-winning TV series, it's the Saints defense that needed to be transformed into a relentless unit.
If the first three games are any indication, Ryan's plan appears to be working. The Saints are currently holding opponents to 296 yards per game — compared to last season's 440 yards per game. They are also giving 16 less points per game (12.6 from 28.4).
"Breaking Bad" appears to be working for the Saints. Ryan has come in and gave the Saints defense something that it has been lacking for several seasons — an attitude.
Ryan had to find a way to "break the bad" from the Saints defense. Looking at last season's file, Ryan's job was not an easy one because there was a lot of "breaking" that needed to be done.
Despite many new faces, injuries and a lack of NFL experience within the group, Ryan has the Saints defense playing like a Top 10 unit. It proves that the players have bought into Ryan's system, and having a bad defense is not an option with this team.
Will the Saints keep this high level of play on the defensive side of the ball for the remainder of the season?
That remains to be seen, but we should have a better idea of where this team stands in the next three weeks, as the Saints face three teams currently with 3-0 records — the Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears and New England Patriots.
With Payton calling the shots and quarterback Drew Brees running the team's high-powered offense, the Saints will always be considered a perennial playoff contender.
In recent seasons, the Saints were only missing one thing — a quality defense.
All the Saints needed was a Top 20 defense to be back in the playoffs. But if the Saints have a Top 10 defense, the sky is the limit.
By "Breaking Bad," the Saints have fixed one of their glaring weaknesses — the defensive side of the ball — and may have put themselves in position to win the franchise's second Super Bowl title.

Is this what Obama meant by 'revenge'?
'After we win this election, it's our turn – payback time'
When Barack Obama said on the campaign trail, "Voting is the best revenge," was this what he meant?
A quote allegedly by Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett has been spreading like wildfire online lately: "After we win this election, it's our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us, and they better be ready, because we don't forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded; the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay. Congress won't be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over, and we have two judges ready to go."
Now more relevant than ever! Get Aaron Klein's stunning look at Obama's second-term plans in "Fool Me Twice," autographed, from the WND Superstore!
The quote, however, is suspect and is at best four steps removed from Jarrett herself.
Though repeatedly widely in hundreds of blogs and even the website of a Philadelphia newspaper, the original source of the quote appears to be a blog site called The Ulsterman Report.
Yet even "Ulsterman" doesn't claim to have actually heard the words spoken.
The blog merely quotes an unnamed source called "Wall Street Insider," who quotes an unnamed source in Chicago, who was quoting an unnamed representative from Jarrett's office, who was allegedly quoting Jarrett.
Obama's "revenge" remark came at a late-campaign stop in Springfield, Ohio, when he mentioned Republican Mitt Romney's name and the crowd booed.
"No, no, no, don't boo. Vote," Obama told the crowd. "Vote! Voting is the best revenge."
After the comment prompted criticism, Obama campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki told Politico the president was referring to revenge against GOP challenger Mitt Romney's "scare tactics" in recent ads.
"The message [Obama] was sending is if you don't like the policies, if you don't like the plan that Gov. Romney is putting forward, if you think that's a bad deal for the middle class, then you can go to the voting booth and cast your ballot," Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One. "It's nothing more complicated than that."

I've been following What katie ate for a few years now and I always leave her site hungry and inspired. Everything about her site is pitch perfect. From the incredibly mouth watering recipes, to the decor and the photography it's no wonder that she now has her own book. To launch her book she created a few of her favourite recipes to photograph (and eat of course!) in a really beautiful setting in Melbourne. There's a lovely behind the scenes video below of the creating of book launch shoot – it's so nice to see how she collects everything she's going to use from the ingredients to the props, to the way she sets up the shot. I'm so inspired – I have to make and photograph more food!
As far as I know the book is only for sale in Australia and New Zealand at the moment but can be pre ordered on Amazon here. How delightful.

Chemical Bonding Basics
In bonding, atoms lose, gain, or share electrons in order to have the same number of electrons as the noble gas that's nearest on the periodic table. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are formed by combinations of metals and nonmetals.
Metal + nonmetal = ionic bond
Nonmetal + nonmetal = covalent bond
Metal + metal = metallic bond
When two elements engage in ionic bonding, one or more electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, forming ions (charged atoms). The metal, having lost one or more electrons, forms a cation, an ion with a positive charge; the nonmetal, having gained one or more electrons, becomes an anion, an ion with a negative charge.
When two elements form a covalent bond, one or more electron pairs are shared between these two elements. In metallic bonding, which occurs in metals (either a pure metal or an alloy of two or more metals), the valence (outer shell) electrons are donated to a "sea of electrons."

:::The Most Evil Mascot in the World:::
Following the tragic death of the team's former mascot 3 months ago, Þórshamar's manager decided that the time of grieving had passed and the position of the team mascot had to be filled.
After the sudden death of Captain Spandex Ballet, which the coroner ruled as "Hyper-allergic-reaction-to-spandex", the fans of Þórshamar were devastated, even though he died during his first show at the stadium and nobody knew who he was.
A memorial service was held at his favorite local fast food restaurant, CrapDonalds, and the body was buried in a shallow little lake near his home.
But today the fans can rejoice again, because a new mascot is in town.
His name is Darth Vader and some people might remember him from the films "Honey, I choked the kids" and "Dude, where's my lightsaber?".
Lord Vader, as his minions address him, will be performing his spectacular show before kick-off and at half time during home games at Asgard stadium to get the audience going.
I caught Darth Vader earlier today and asked him a few questions.
JJJ: "Welcome Lord Vader. How do you like Iceland?" –
DV: "Thank you rebelscum. Well it's a little bit colder than I expected. But nothing compared to Hoth I tell you!" –
JJJ: "Is it true that you once turned down a leading role as Mr. Spock in Star Trek?" –
DV: "Yes, that is true. I didn't find the script evil enough. For instance, there was no dark side or an evil emperor. So I gave that show the finger." –
JJJ: "Can you tell me a little what the fans can expect from your show in the coming future?" –
DV: "Yes I can. I will reenact some scenes from my past movies. Mostly involving choking some lucky volunteer from the audience to death." –
"I will also perform a stunt I haven't been practicing much, swallowing my lightsaber. Last time I performed that stunt was a long time ago in another galaxy far, far away." –
"Also I will do some magic tricks for the kids and make an elephant disappear." –
JJJ: "Thank you Lord Vader for your time and not using the force to choke me to death." –
