Google+ Hangouts are coming to your Gmail for a better video chat experience
- 2
Chances are that you've used Google Talk a few times while navigating your inbox. Heck, you might have even used the video chat feature since its rollout a couple of years ago. But today the Google+ team tells us that we're about to get the rather-impressive Hangouts function right inside of our Gmail inboxes.
"Unlike the old video chat, which was based on peer-to-peer technology, Hangouts utilize the power of Google's network to deliver higher reliability and enhanced quality. You'll be able to chat with all the same people you did before and, in fact, with Hangouts you'll now be able to reach them not only when they are using Gmail but also if they are on Google+ in the browser or on their Android or iOS devices."
There are some other important things to note about Hangouts versus standard video chat as well. Bear in mind that you'll have access to the app section of Hangouts, so that you can do more than just talk face to face. You'll have the multi-user chats where up to 9 users can talk at once, plus the joint YouTube video watching and of course on-screen effects.
"This event was off the charts"
Gary Vaynerchuk was so impressed with TNW Conference 2016 he paused mid-talk to applaud us.
It's a great addition to an already-handy service, but the question has to be asked whether or not we really want more Google+ in our daily Gmail operations. The feature is rolling out today, and Google says that it should be available to all users in the coming weeks.
More? Could Google be looking to monetize the Hangouts function?

Marves 7th, 19431
Today is the launching (and madien voyage) of the Roofer Boonhurst a fine ship. I, Captain Geoforus Lavalamp, am intrusted by the emporor of Taknania to explore the unexplored areas of the five unexplored seas.
My crew consists of Eric Porticulisto, my first mate, Rymaniena Manbobi my second mate, the Wheel Master Clopaedia Marxs, Oars Master Hererius Fedieleo, the Cook Morool Savarius (he makes a tasty stew, you should taste it: It tastes like broiled cabage, which is a delacay in Stefonesnevo an island in the very lower right corner of the uneexplored sea (exactly 50 degrees N and 20 degrees S of the unexplored islands)), and Mark Smith the Court Jester.
Together we will chart the world!
Marvers 8th, 19431
We are out to sea, but as the court jester (Smith) set himself on fire the sextant is broken now broken. Morool did laugh at the jester and thus was punished by working the wheels. As they are near the ground this is hard work. We have also eaten the Oars Master (Fed-ieleo) as we have discovered him unnessisary; the sea being mostly dirt and concrete (thjs makes me think we maybe a bit lost, but as the sextant is broken I am unable to tell.)
Marves 9th, 19431
More trouble insues as the slain Oars Master has returned as a Zombie Ghost Pirate. I maybe drunk, or high, but Captain Morgan says I'm not and I trust the guy.
Morool fell off the wheels and was crushed yesterday, losing a leg which we used to aplease the slain Oars Master, Captain Morgan agrees that this was the right thing to do, I am pleased that the voyage is doing so well.
Marves 10th, 19431
The jester set himself on fire again. I am going to have to talk to him about that.
Marves 11th 19431
In celebration of the slain Oarmaster's birthday we have made Maltov Cocktails and used them to destroy a tree we past in the middle of the sea. No land has yet been sighted and to make matters worse we don't have enough grease to deal with the dust in the wheels.
What's left of the cook whines constantly but our full hospital staff says he will be okay. I am doubtful though as all the prozac has not stopped his bleeding and screaming.
Marves 12th 19431
Still can't tell if we are lost. I ordered the men to harpoon a whale, but we only got a cave man, it is female and seems seemed to like the 2nd Mate. We ate her with broiled cabbage as the cook is in no condition to fix stew.
Marves 13th 19431
Ran over a thorn bust to-day. Thank the gods that the hull is cheaply made plastic coming from Indonissa; thorns don't stick. The cook-- Morool-- is better today having died and then been resurrected. He made stew but it did not taste good because we ate the cabbage yesterday in a stew like dish.
Marves 14th 19431
Me and the 2nd Mate deciede that Bubonic Plauge is a good thing. We are raising cultures of it bellow deck. When we have a sizable culture we will infect ourselves with it to better our lives.
Marves 15th 19431
On a harpooning expidition we speared Jesus. It is female and seems seemed to like the second mate. We boiled it in a stew, removing all the pagen symbols it was carring. When we come to shore I am selling them to traders. Or am I? According to Taknainain law all traders are to be hung. But if ǝʍ ǝɹoɟǝq ʇɐɥʇ snsǝظ ʞsɐ ʇ,upıp ı pɐq ooʇ ˙ǝq uɐɔ sıɥʇ ʍoɥ ǝǝs ʇou op ı ʎɯouoɔǝ oʇ ʎɹɐsıssǝu ǝɹɐ sɹǝpɐɹʇ ate her.
Marves 16tyh 19431
Learned about the great sjusn frin a travekubg sakesnab to-day. Apearntly at one time there were two Popes in the Catholic Church. This caused a problem, but we solved it by harpooning the salesman (who was female and seems seemed to like the second mate) and eating him.
Marves 17th 19431
The sextant is still broken and I have tryed to find our way by looking for Mars in the sky, the sun makes it difficult to see. Prehasp tomorrow the sun will be off.
The cook says Mars comes out only at night, but that is stupid so I microwaved his head with a lightsaber. He died so I had him resurrected.
Marves 18th, 1943)
Stole a radio from a hard ware store cleck, we are powering it using the chi of the Arms Master. This has summoned Bruce Lee and his brother Jet Lie Lei Li. It was feem all and seems seemed to like the second mate. After harpooning them we fed the nation of Uganda for a day.
Marves 19th 19431
Found an atlas of the moon. Since we are not on the moon it has helped us but a little.
Marves 20th, 19431
Ran agroud in a sandtrap to0day. These pocket the sea aNd bEf0r3 w3 namged to stear clear. Now I wish we hadn't slain the Oars Master, I think we could use the oars to us us put. We tryed ourselves, but can not find the oars (in fact I don't believe there are any).
Marves 21st 194321
Still stuck in the sandtrap. We pray for salvation but gGod tells us since we ate his holy son that the power is in use now. Around noon the jester hits the turbo boosters and we go to the moon. Using our atlas wet back to earth.
Watch Rocky II, eat chipps and dip, then go to sleep. Morool said we should not post a watch so I kill him with a ping pong ball.
Marves 22nd 19431
Today I morn the death of the black pen... and the cook, but I can resurrect him so I'm not worried.
Made war on the natives of another boat. Killed them and ate them.
Marves 23rd 19431
Morool the cook tryed to start a mutany sighting the many times I have killed him. I retort I didn't have to resurrect him. W We set him to walk the plank, but he doesn't drown and climbs back into the boat.
Tomorrow I resolve to address the problem; O prehasp we will tie rocks to him to add wait. weight.
Marves 24th 19431
Today we encountered a fellow ship from Taknania. It is called the Anorex and its captian is Mr. Orgy Porg. He is Jewish, but that is of little coniqence as the crew of the Anorex is haft starved and have only swine to eat.
The Anorex has a ceniplex below deck and we all watch Been Her, while eating ham.
Marves 25th 16431
A giant sea horse ate the Anorex today. It was female and so we tryed to harpoon it, but it was too small to hit.
We scoured the wreck and retrieved the ceniplex and some swine. The court jester did do unclean acts with the swine for our amusement and then we butchered them and ate them.
Marves 26th 19431
It rained today, making the ground into mud, and thus making travle in the boat imposible. In boredum I sued a pataco bat factory and won a setlement of 5 thousand dollars.
Marves 27th 19431
Today is the last day of the mouenth of Marves. In celebration Porticulisto begat Joe and we ate Joe.
The cineplex p broke down and so we threw it over board where it crushed and elementary school.
Jav;eary 1st 19431
It was cold to-day. We cautght panranas out of the ocean and p broil3d them in the c0ok's head. Even in de4th he useful.
Around noaon We met an Acient Maraner. He was a Communist Pretzel, so we gave him to McCarthy who microwaved his head in a microwave.
Javleary 2nd 19431
Today is Javin day. Named after the god Javlis. To celibrate we sack a small villiage called Kelley's Liqor, and get way drunk.
After getting drunk I examide exam examind the child basket 0n the b04t and +ry3d to figure out who Smith was.
Javleary 3rd 19431
we are lost, of that I am now conviced. Weep for us who ever finds this journal. We shall end up like the Lusitania , the Titanic , Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Javleary 4th 19431
Caught a man stealing fro a vulture. Ignored him and sailed on.
What I can not figure is that the Roofer Boonhurst seems to be heavily modified.
What kind of ship has no mast and wheels?
Javleary 5th 19431 M
We have encountered a road. This is very confuising, it has stop lights and cars. One car dinged the ship, sending it careing into a whale. We harpooned it, but captian Ahab showed up in the Pequod and told us to leave.
Javleary 6th 19431
J4vl34ry 7thm 19431

Javleary 8th 19431
we have been accosted by a boat of Ninjas. The are men of ShadowS, which follow them around. After killing th Ninjas we celribrate with a bottle of Evan Williams. Mr. Williams attacks the Arms Master who pulls out an AK-47 and in a feat of dexterity combines it with an Uzi.
Evan Williams is no more and the Arms Master reaches level 12 in fire arms. We scelibrate with another bottle of Evan Williams and the cycle began anew.
Javleary 9th 19431
We have lost the battle with Evan and are all hung over. We sing the Boshi song:
We like Jurrasic Park Desanje eats larks Larks are birds Who like to be heard We're all drunk as Hell
Javleary 1Oth 19431
The Slain Oars Master is back with a codrae of vampires who take the second mate and turn him into fido the dancing Moile named Oerek.

Javleary 16th 19431
Dr. Roboto sued us for infringment on his o's. we battle his lawyers who have pole arms, which gives them the advantage. so we stole their spears and killed ^them to the man. We lost one Cadet named Issac, which was okay because he was gay (as in happy). Happiness is not allowed.
Javeleary 17th
(Editor's note: This page of the journal is torn at the bottom. Judging by the way the page lines up with the entry at Javleary 15thit is highly probable that Captain Lavalamp continued writing without realizing the damage to his own journal.)
None of us have seen females in a week! The scrambled egges do not help, doudbt-less of what the Navy has told us. We now have to find rats; found plenty in Willard. Nonja's love rates, rates,. rats.
We are Pirate Ninja's. That's why Dr. Roboto's lawyers couldn't beat hus. We have swords and shini. Drugs and bad pirate movies do not having anything on us. Learn well. Watch f the Carabian! Let's elmed, Eat Adam.
Javleary 18th 19431
Massive hang over to-day. Crashed into an iceburg in the deasert while the Slain Oars Master was drunk dead. We fixed the hole by tying the starboard side back on, there arye numerous holes in the side of the ship for thi stringing pruposes.
Jav;eary 19th 19431
Commanded from the C^hild basket, which we uses as a crow's nest. The worst obstical was a shrub and in the Basket the thorns don't reach. We declared war on the shrub in which we realized shrub back wards is burhs wchich looks like a word, but doesn't even mean anything when looked tu up.
Javleary 20th, 19431
Bombed the shrub, but its shrubbery buddies attacked us. We all got up $ into the childern's basket, which is uncomfortable. The shrubberiies' leader is called YrEbburjs. we summoned Martha Jane Burk who died emedently so Tomacko Timach, the Arms Master, busted out his modified uzi and turned the shrubberies into mulch (that we ate).

Staphylarch 3rd
Found a dog to-day. I was rabid so we harpooned it. It was female so I kill the second mate while chasteing him for chasing the poon'. He gets mad but I have already eaten the rabid dog who the Arms Master killed to level (14) up.

(Editor's Note: Once again the text is unintelligible. Words are written over words and large splats of ink abound. In the Pesek 17th entry we find large drawings of eyes made by a shaky hand. We know from Tomach's journal that the Captain ingested several pounds of British money along with what could only be described as a "heroic" dose of מַצָּהl.)
Pesek 19th
It is a someday midnight and we have finished putting the final touches on the saudec head mask which is now at the bow side of the boat. Using our master skills of metalurgy we have constructed this behomoth out of ruberbands and sealing wax. I christened it Psychology and We did rejoice.

We followed a bandwagon created by Aticuns who liked to be called Urma Dunpeel.
Molested by a dog while fishing for supper in the shoals off of concrete island. The mercury lable on the port side of the ship was damaged. We fought off the dog and the Armsmaster leveled up (level 15 BadAss)
Suplimental: Discoved why revenge is best served cold. hot revenge bubbles over the lid.

Unfortuntly this shut down our Antimatter engine and so the Forge is fixing it. Our Engeeara Engineer (to be declared on arival) is missing. I do rightly fear that he may have fallen over bourd and been devoured by ^the sea lions.

Obsesion time. We must find Davy Jone's Locker. Whatever it containes may get up back to Taknania. We dropped ancor in a rocky part of the sea filled with, naturally, rocks.
That Pen-Jay-Low, the cook, is acting up again. I harpooned him like the Jesus lady and deep fat fry his brain in his skull. I then revive him. He shakes his fat ass. I send him over board to look for the locker.
Pesek 25th
Last day of Pesek. We celibrate by dousing Morool the Cook in lamp oil. If not for fear of fire we would have had him lit up and burned.

Pesek 29th
To be in sight of enemy shores is a cadid relief. If we are near Cape Blow-Me-Fuckers then the Jester will naturally be able to point home. These days it is a pleasure to hear the scream of a dying man in a victori th mittens on and in this way do we kill these men.
Pesek 30th
I awoke to find my video collection robbed.
Pesek 31st
We've set a course directly west-ish. Cape Blow-Me-Fuckers has shown us the way home.
The cape has a history attachted to its name. Aparently the duke of Palono was to name the city, but the king of Stefonesnevo wanted the city to be called named after his daughter Sania Vante-Pompes. The duke was not willing to be presuaded.

Seem to have lost the right wheel, even now the Wheel Master (Marx) is searching for it. Once found we will continue and we will fight off Romans.
Alvalmer 1st
No Romans to fight but the Slain Oarsmaster has returned with all the versions of the cook that I killed! I expect them to be on us to-morrow. With out the right whell escape is immosible
Alvalmer 2nd
Epic battle with the Slain oarsmaster. Just before dawn. Most of the hospital staff hospitalized and this is bad. Avinea, which is morphine sulfate extended-release capsules, was loaded into the cannons and fired but Oars Master only transformed into a Pimp-Dog with many fine bitches and oars.
We can not fight them all. Instead we race toward Taknania where the Emporor's fleet wil will take of this ghost/zombie menice. Ten for ten.
Alvalmer 3rd
"Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time." -Steven Wright
But we can't walk you fiend! The ship will take days to repair from the attack and there is lea^uges of man killing desert ar all around us.
Alvalmer 4th
Sent the 2nd Mate (Manbobi) to find fire wood. he insteed found Bobby Fisher, who is female and seems to fancy the second mate. After spearing Bobby like a fisherman spearing a fisch, we roasted him in a toaster and ate veal with pitch folks. Then we drank bilge. A lot of bilge and bile-age.
Alvalmer 5th
Found Davy Jone's Locker after much searching. It is full of water logged bones, unable to log-out.
Alvalmer 6th
Seems we have the smell of dog on board to-day. Crane wine and Sakédo wonders if one wants to ignore this seemsmell. Off in the distance we can hear the sound of people working on the Chaindrain.
Alvalmer 7th
I have never known hunger, but I know fear. Frea cmsoe and fear goes but the Lovecraftien NIGHTMARE be()hind us chases the ship with a precistance I, myself, do not have.
It's name is Larchambohau, the Blue man, I know this and I fear.

Alvalmer 14th 19432
Sanity blows, pet a rattlesnake. I can not be held resposive to my actionas as they kill many of my crew mates. All're resurected and I dance the dance of beef.
Placez un cours, il était ce qu'on m'a enseigné à l'école de canotage. Ma main déplace plus lent que mon esprit. Je crois cela puisque nous avons laissé des Souffler-Fuck-Baiseurs de cap que j'ai pour apprendre un lession de valubale au sujet de Français. Fou de C'est. Fou de C'est. Fou de C'est. It is crazy man.
Insane of it, it is!
Alvalmer 16th 19432
(Editor's Note: At the bottom of this page is a large Greek Lambda.)
Never have I been so in raged as to-day when the cook decided to release the child seat basket into the front of the boat. Mr. Smith can rot in hell, Il est fou.
Alvalmer 18th 19432
I've been informed by a war corispondant that reality sometimes begets art.
Life, like my cook's, is easily repace able. We do of course discover that when a folk doth die, his life does not matter so much, not because he is gone, but because he can do no more.
Alvalmer 19th 19432
To-night I URINATED most mightily on a cow from Dantukit. Life is short except for my cook who is wretched indeed.
Alvalmer 21st 19432
Toss the mit, is all I said to Manbobi But he, the snitch, didn't listen.
Alvalmer 22th 19432
Time is in flux and the alleged sea is stormy to-day. I watched the cronometer wind backwards slowly and night becomes day
How's buisness? Not bad? Grat-see! Rocks hit the wheels occasionally and I wonder about the construction of the ship and how exactly it fltsoa. Being a wire frame there are leaks everywhere.
Doubleplus good travleism! Don Flathat is a wayfinder and we found Don Flathat! He is msot cruel and for payment to set us on course he took my cook's voice. Thank you Don Flathead!

Never trust a Cachasain, they make light of stealing. So we burned all caucasuns and ate them likke lobster. Armsmaster Timach leveled up to Level 16 badass.

The Slain Oarsmaster still faollowes, his ship of zombi-lich things has a demonisc wind to guide it alnog. Along it guiges us to wind most demonic. A deamon has things that lich-zombie ships (his) follow niot. Still the Oarsmaster (slain) does not care. The.

I spoke with the Armsmaster about the Oarsmaster. The Wheelmaster suggests we sacrifice the Cook to the Metal Detector Gods.
Lokcmarter 1st 19432
Lokcmarter first. A fine crisp day. We fire seven teen volleys at the ghost ship, but they penatrate the enemy like bullets penatrate vapoy.
Lokcmarter 2nd 19432
(Editor's Note: This page has doodles of a Morinfen, a winged man, and a pyrimid with an eye radiating light at the bottom.)
Strong currents in the sand to-day. Odd for a solid mass of earth. Cs Score a hit on the Ghosts and they disapated. Passed by a few childers boffer fighting by a dam.
Lokcmarter 3rd 19432
Destroyed the Manhataoes and sent theem and their isle back into the sea from whence they came.
Lokcmarter 4th 19432
Caut penis in zipper this morning. Now it is bleeding all over my nice parshian rug (It's from parshawn.). Elifants dance on the deck making a horible ruckus. I'll blame the cook the moment I stop drinking.
Heavy brick and brandy Brim all filled up with Randi's Gin
All the fishes tote the sea tobm and finally I am seeing familiar signs, of which I am familiar with. The famous crystal rocks of Al Jazzear are now visible glinting off the port bow like maple honey leaves. Around them coated in Everylight are floating pilars of orange pulp. We are in familiar waters. Home is not far away. To-marrow I shall tell the crew of this. We'll butcher the cook to celibrate!
Lokcmarter 6th 19432
Slight encounter with an enemy derigable. We harpooned it. It was female and seemed to like the second mate. More to like took a "fancy" to the 2nd mate. Own and arbored and all that.
Soon we shall see the crystal towers set around Taknania Harbor.
Win U wist apron a stir.
Lokcmarter 7th 19432
Got my jolleys off to-day and good thing as they were smelling of the greasy awful. Another enmy ship spoted. we harponed it from the child basket and then sent in a torpedo to finish the job. Even Morool seemed satisfied with this victory and served us boiled cabbage. We ate the cabbage.
Lokcmarter 8th
Ran into the L'Engle, the Charles Wallace and the Goshen; five famous shps of the Andervania Navy and our Empire's sworn enemy. We fire twelve photon torpedoes into the Goshen and open up with Busters on the Charles Wallace / The L'Engle responds with a beer run; this is run by the Stratch Master who appears to be made entirely out of primrose. They are no match for the Nippon Blaster. The L'Engle begins to take on water and we shell it repeatedly with warhead death.
Lokcmarter 9th
The L'Engle sinks at the first light of dawn and we harpoon several of Its sailors before the OarsMaster shows ip, having finally caught up, and starts sending Morins at us.
Evil tools of the Nullicator we fight the beasts as best we can until we are forced to flee toward Taknania.
Lokcmarter 11th
Can see Taknania: The shores, the buitiful white towers. And yet my jsɐɥ ʍou ɹǝʇsɐɯsɹɐo ǝɥʇ :pǝɥsnɹɔ sı ʎo flying beast men attacking us and Taknania seems to be surrounded by thousands of enemy ships!
While we were gone that bastard, the Oars Master, assembed an army and fleet which now we; We of the Roofer Boonhurst; We Alone; must defeat.
Lokcmarter 12th
Shatter prism in the Guild of Roses So much pain in a book of poses Words can damage Words can hurt Now all that "nice" blood soaks your shirt
The Guild of a Thousand Roses still stands! Somebody call and alert the Band You are cursed and dead and Gone But the Guild of a Thousand Roses still stands!
Your life is ash Your hand is cold You never did recieve your lady's rose Neva culla fiaut con iina! But the Guild of a Thousand Roses lives on!
Battle hyme of the Rose Guild and the Roofer Boonhurst.
First we attack the ship A.S.S. Bordel scrambling our fighters which tear up the ship's sides. She capsizes and sinks. We are counter attacked by the enemy ships Chelsea and the Nadia, the commander of one being the dreaded Emily La Point. The Oarsmaster follows us and shells the Boonhurst whenever he has a clear shot.
We sink the Nadia and a stray shell effectively sends the Chelsea into outer space.
the A.S.S. Trop-mur attacks next and we deal with it like men and board that ship and set fifal charges to its boiler. That done we also strike at the Pardel and the K.M. both are rendured to the bottem of the sea. Still the Oarsmaster persues, I wonder if I hit him with a death ray he'd go away.
Lokcmarter setcun Iina 14th
One of the enemy ships has a portable mana well on it. This we must find or the Boonhurst is done for.
Enemy ships scatter at our aproace and the Boonhurst flays all in its way with Turbo Lasers. We are Death Reincartated. We are THE Pirate Ninjas of the Sea.
So they flee and we drop manying to the ocean floor. For our country! For Taknania!
Lokcmarter 15th
Heavy shelling from the ship Ocean's Dream has damaged a wheel on the Boonhurst. I, myself, Captian Geoforus LavaLamp, repaired said wheel with my teeth.
In retailation we board the Dream and slauter the black eyed cowards to the man. Steel rings on steel until all is silient and we return to the Boonhusrt as the Slain OarsMaster proceeds to sink the Dream.
Lokcmarter 16th
I must resurect half my crew as a lucky shell explodes on the lower basket. The ship responsible is torpedoed repeatedly until it explodes. Never has there been a battle such as this, I drink to that! And I drink again! I will stand on the dead man's chest and say I am fifteen!
And when the Immortals turn from that final battle and that awful mountain they will know that the Roofer Boonhurst was thee first at Taknania harbor. I urninate on my foes.
Lokcmarter 17th
The Oarsmaster attacks from both sides ovisully a trick learned from his learn-ed dark master. We beat off the attack and shell the Sqeeze wich responds by firing Pase-ars at us.
Lokcmarter 18th
Lackluster barns float by the Carnage in the sea. He is the red one, not the black one.
The Oars Master now shells all ships to get at us; his zombie ghost self not satisfied until he knaws at our jaw bones.
Lokcmarter 19th
Sunk both the Kurt and the Trouat to-day. Fire bombed the Sqeeze with our remaining prop-plane. Jefferson Airport got back on our call logs and now there are few enemies left, we having killed them brothers off in the last eight days.
Now it is to solve the problem of the OarsMaster who never should have been deemed "un-nessisary." For he is nessisary, and nessisarly must be destroyed.
Lokcmarter 20th
We board the Oarsmaster's boat and are beset upon by foul harlots. The Second Mate imobiliese sven of thim with his charms and the Arms Master reighns death Supreme with double dragon breath sawed-off shotguns. I, myself, am no coward and slay many a hot blooded demon with dirk and rapier.
And yet! The OarsMaster devoured both the Wheelmaster and the Jester, consuming their souls and effectivly destroying them. While we are fighting on the OarsMaster's ship the Sqeeze cowardly boards the Boonhurst and takes off with it.
Lokcmarter 21st
The Oarsmaster defeats the fist and second mate and sends them to their Final Death/ It is me and Tomacka against the OarsMaster. But he is a cagey Oarsmaste and he sends Ruby Gargoils at Tomacka, my faith-ful Arms Master. None can face his duel Ingrams and giant Jerry-curl.
"Fedieleo!" I call and the Oarsmaster anwsers. He answers in the full and we lock swords. But he is a demon and I am but a powerful, handsom, sauve man and he breaks my blade.
Now Everylight coursing through him and his, the OarsMasters seeks to devour me and mine. But it is not fate. I resurect him and take his ship from the harpy hags.
Lokcmarter 22th
First we use the formally Slain Oars Master and now Oars Man to chase down the perloined Boonhurst and regain it. Then we death ray the Sqeeze until nothing remains.
The Enemy fleet is fleeing back to whence they came and we persue them back to Andervania and innerate the entire country with pram-Arnold devices.
We finally have landed on Taknania and I've ordered Lobster for my remaining crew. The Emperor himself will walk our deck and view our leggings, which our quite extensive. Oh and uh the cook will be hanged for his lack of participation in the battle.
Lokcmarter 24th
I've spok-can with the Emperor and has toured our ship. The Amsmaster, Oarsman and I will each recieve the Double Thumbed Gauntlent for Courage and the Brass Monkey for Valour. We each have been accepted into the Society for Preservation of the Comma and Knights of the Extend Realm and free space of Myspace.
Lokcmarter 25th
Prescription packaging? I find some and the Boonhurst a fome ship, is being repaired in the dock. Next Voyage I shall install firebrats in the boilers 'cause they're hansomer than rats. A job well done I thin and I'll slander all those that tell that to me. I've got a family wainting. Ending in T-Minus 5.
O Muse: Bowing out

Horsforth Village Museum
Horsforth was once described as the largest village in England and has somehow managed to retain some of its village like identity, character and sense of community. The Museum aims to reflect this heritage in its interesting exhibits which are drawn from all aspects of life in and around Horsforth and have a great nostalgia and educational value. The Museum, which opened to the public in July 1998, is situated at The Green in the heart of the old village.
Horsforth Village Historical Society:
This society began in 1983 when a group of interested people, attending a series of lectures on local history, began to look for a venue to open a museum. The society is dedicated to research; much of which is published in booklet form or as part of a series of local history guides. Meetings are held every 3rd Tuesday of the month and visiting speakers give talks and slide shows of historical interest. Annual outings are organised and a quarterly newsletter is produced for the Friends. Society members may volunteer to help with the running of the Museum and its fund raising activities like coffee mornings which take place on the last Saturday of every month. To join, enquire at the Museum.

Fizzy Pumpkin Halloween Drink + Party Tips
Can you believe Halloween is next week!? Are you ready for it? In case you missed this quick little tutorial on these easy fizzy pumpkin drinks we made for Homes.com, I thought I'd share them here, along with a few party tips to get you in the Halloween mood!
These drinks are a bit on the sugary side, so the smaller jars or cups work better for each serving. And if you want to cut back on the sugar, you can also use club soda, instead of lemon-lime soda.
Here's what you'll need:
Small canning jars (mine had texture, but I recommend smooth ones)
Vinyl pumpkin face decals or black paper cutouts w/ glue
Orange Juice
Lemon-lime Soda
Pineapple Juice
and Orange Sherbet
Step 1: Apply your vinyl stickers onto your jar to make whatever pumpkin face you choose. Textured jars are a bit trickier to work with, because there are bumps and grooves, so you might want to pick a jar with a smooth finish. (this is just what I had on hand). I've also seen simple black paper cutouts used for this project, with a bit of hot glue dabbed on the back to adhere them to the cups/glass.
Step 2: Mix 2 cups of orange juice and 1 cup of pineapple juice together in a pitcher.
Step 3: Scoop the orange sherbet into your jars, filling them up about 3/4ths of the way.
Step 4: Fill your jars halfway with the orange juice/pineapple mixture.
Step 5: Top the rest of your drink with lemon-lime soda, attach lids and add a green straw for the "stem" and you're done!
Halloween Party Tips:
Pre-Party Prep - Planning for a party can be a bit stressful. Take 20 minutes to sit and write down a few things that you want your party to have, and set a budget that will work for you.
Once you've listed these things out, your party planing will move along much smoother, and you won't run into as many surprises or unexpected expenses.
Invitations - One of the best parts of a party, for the guests, is receiving a fun invitation in the mail! Whether you make the invitations yourself, find a small handmade vendor on Etsy, or search out free printables online... creative, colorful invites really set the whole tone for your party.
Greeting your Guests & Party Flow - When your guests arrive, make sure to greet them and let them know what to expect. If your party is formal, then you can print out a "party plan" card for them, or if it's more of a casual gathering, you can let your guests know how to move through the party once they arrive. (Ex: "Once everyone arrives we'll be playing a few games in the backyard, so please help yourself to the refreshments in the meantime; they're in the kitchen!")
Capturing the Fun - Now that you've got your party rolling, don't forget to capture the fun memories and people who are there. It's best to designate someone to take the photos for you; that way you don't miss out on any of the action. Simple candid photos are great, or if you want to go one step further, you can set up a photo booth with fun props!
Party Favors - One of the best ways to send your guests on their way. Even the simplest of party favors will have those party people remembering your event, long after the party is over!
Are you all ready for Halloween next week? or are you running around still trying to pull costumes together for your kiddos like I am?

Very simple and very elegant. These are a definite must for this years Halloween. There are many variations of drinks that would look amazing in these jars, but this sherbet float sounds divine. Wonderful job!

This included 22.5 lakh Indian tourists and 4.5 lakh foreigners. The coastal state, famous for its beaches, also witnessed an increase in arrival of chartered flights.
According to Goa tourism department statistics, 987 chartered flights carrying 2.15 lakh tourists landed in Goa as against 910 flights with 1.69 lakh tourists in 2011-12 from nine international destinations.
Of these, 742 flights came from Russia and 152 from Britain.
Similarly, the number of cruise ship arrivals in Goa has also seen an increase, with 25 vessels carrying 22,233 passengers in 2012-13 berthing at the Mormugao Port Trust, 40 km from here.
In 2010-11, this stood at 20 vessels and 11,946 passengers.
"In 2012-13, Goa did extremely well, better than previous years. We are delighted to see the upswing in the arrivals of domestic and foreign tourists, which touched an all-time high," said Tourism Minister Dilip Parulekar.
He added that the state had emerged as a preferred destination for conferences and the like as well as weddings.
"Positive steps have been taken by the Goa government such as introduction of water sports policy, security force on Goan beaches, improvement of tourism infrastructure, marketing and promotional," he said.

I love pieces that can seamlessly transition from spring/summer to fall/winter. I don't know about you, but I can more easily justify shopping to the Captain when I can wear a piece year round.

It was only four years ago when we first opened to serve great crafted beer to the people of Plymouth and beyond. Today is the actual anniversary date of our opening, and things are going well. We started out with a brief distribution of bottled product this year, and are in production plans to continue this coming year as well. By the end of 2013 we expect to be in full distribution throughout the entire state of Michigan, both in bottles and on draft at better beer bars and restaurants.
We've done a lot of things right, so far… we've done a couple of things wrong too. We definitely appreciate all of the support we've received from everyone, and we know well enough that it is because of you all that we are still going strong. We ask that you continue your support of Michigan craft beer, and Liberty Street beer in particular. Help us grow our brand throughout the state by asking for our beer wherever you go. Thank you.

3D electromagnetic PIC simulations of relativistic electron pulse injections from spacecraft
Publication: Research - peer-review › Conference article – Annual report year: 2002
Without internal affiliation
Relativistic electron beam accelerators (5 MeV, 0.1 A) can now be flown on spacecraft. Injection from low-Earth-orbit into the atmosphere makes it possible to perform active perturbation experiments in the 40–60 km altitude range. These include modification of the atmospheric electric potential structure over thunderstorm regions and the possible stimulation of high-altitude-lightning, as well as studies of relativistic electron precipitation effects on chemical reaction paths. In this paper, the initial stage of the beam injection process is simulated by a fully electromagnetic and relativistic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) code. The self-consistent implementation of electric charging of a spacecraft structure in an electromagnetic code is demonstrated, and beam propagation dynamics is explored for a range of beam to ambient plasma densities. It is shown that the combined effects of ambient plasma and beam self-fields may allow propagation in the ion-focused regime and that this regime primarily is expected for relativistic beams.

In the process, I came across a Ford's pen and pencil set for sale on eBay and bought it for two reasons, it strongly resembled the Artcraft pen I had seen pictured, and the President of the company was Ford Cromer. I thought that perhaps he had also made pens under his own name.
Since that first pair, I have collected four more Ford's pens, but I have not yet been able to find out who made them. I'm still looking, though.
Click the Ford's Pens button at the top of this page to see pictures of these pens.

U.S. Navy Sailor Matthew Hindes is fighting a battle close to home: maintaining custody of his daughter, Kaylee.
Hindes has been ordered by Circuit Court Judge Margaret Noe to appear in court on Monday. Sounds like a plan. The problem? Hindes is currently stationed on a submarine deployed in the Pacific Ocean.
Since 2010, the sailor has had full custody of his little girl. He earned full parental rights when his ex-wife lost custody – when Child Protective Services removed their daughter from her home.
During his deployment, his little girl is being cared for by his current wife, Benita-Lynn – her step-mom.
Via IJReview:
In most cases, Hindes would be protected by the Service Members Civil Relief Act which provides safeguards for active duty military members in civil judicial proceedings.
But Judge Noe doesn't agree and has said, "If the child is not in the care and custody of the father, the child should be in the care and custody of the mother."
To make this frustrating situation even worse, a warrant has been issued by Noe for Hindes' arrest.
"He's protecting the rights of others," said Benita-Lynn, "But who is protecting his rights? … I'm just trying my best to keep everything together. It's just hard."
Although Sailor Hindes' command sent a letter saying he cannot be at the hearing, there appears to be no leeway. Since he is not allowed to appear by skype or by phone, the odds are not looking very promising.
Many are routing for the Hindes family and hope that Judge Noe realizes how unreasonable her actions truly are.

enterprises for creating sustainable partnerships for supply chains and
stimulating US economic growth.

Lefty blogs have the details of this wrong.
I wasn't there. I was there, however, for the immediate after-action report, and have heard it told ten times by now, including most of it from Hitchens. Although I didn't really bother asking much, as I'd already heard it.
Hitch and two others were out on some or such errand. One guy was just telling Hitchens that the Syrian Nazi party had little support in the country but was paid by Syria to kill people, and that he'd been told they're the one party you don't fuck with.
So five minutes later they come across the poster for the Syrian Nazi Party on an abandoned bagel shop -- abandoned, if I had this right, after Hezballah had attacked it last year due to the overly Jewish connotations of bagelry.
So Hitchens immediately takes out a pen and writes "No, no, Fuck You" on the poster. I don't know if he'd digested the story and decided to fuck with them anyway, or else he was just reacting to the modified swastika on the poster.
Now, the Syrian Nazis are not popular and neighborhoods have tried to get their posters taken down. But then they threaten people and cause problems.
So the state leaves them up. To avoid getting their posters defaced or torn down, they post a paid Nazi watcher to keep an eye on their posters.
Well, when this Syrian Nazi goon saw Hitch do this, he confronted him and kinda-sorta attacked him. I say kinda sorta attacked, because what his main intent was was to delay Hitchens from leaving -- until the ten Nazi goons he had just texted on his cell phone could arrive.
There was some kicking and pulling and hitting. Hitch and the others attempted to get into a cab -- the Syrian Nazi goon got right in the cab with them, still hitting Hitchens. They could not force him out. Eventually they all exited, and attempted to get a fresh cab, but other cabbies were now hip to the fact the Syrian Nazis had been riled and wanted no business from them, so two cabs passed refusing their fare.
Now at this point the ten Nazi goons showed up (about five minutes into this-- they came quickly) and Hitch and the other two were probably going to get the crap beaten out of them, at best. However, they finally managed to get a cabbie who was either brave or didn't know the trouble he was getting into and got in, this time without the goon, and left the other ten behind.
Now, as far as the damage Hitch suffered, it wasn't much. He did get some lumps -- a knock on the leg, a scrape on the face. And also his writing hand had been stomped on. He'd been roughed up a bit, but didn't have "the shit beaten out of him." If I hadn't been told the story I wouldn't have known he'd been fucked with at all. Apart from a bit of pain walking and some more pain typing, he was fine.
So, that's the story. I was holding off on it until we were out of the country, but some rat we ran into apparently began blabbing it to his rat-like kin.
And to be honest, I'm personally kinda sick of hearing it myself, and it felt like gossip, but as the early reports are wrong in the details, I'll have a go.
It didn't happen in a bar. It happened mid-day on the street. It wasn't a drunken brawl. I have no idea if Hitchens had drank at all, but if he had, it was like his typical lunch-time bloody mary. (I'm not saying he didn't get drunk-- just not then.)
And no one had the shit beaten out of him. The lefty bloggers saying they've "confirmed" this are apparently talking to people not in a position to confirm it at all.
Re-Posted: I took this down but I see it's everywhere, including Forbes, so I guess I'm not protecting anything. I'm not confirming any other details though.
Update: I got it a bit wrong on how much Hitchens had been roughed up and the exact sequence here.
He had underplayed it, I guess. From another witness I got that he'd been roughed up more than he let on.
First of all, there weren't ten goons, but around six.
Second, the goon squad, and not just the look-out man, did in fact get to Hitchens. They knocked him down to the ground, kicked him while he was down, and stamped on his writing hand (which I'd known). I had thought they escaped the gang, but they didn't, not quite; they got roughed up by them before a cabbie got them away.
Oh, and the errand they were on: Well, they were on their way to a bar. But they hadn't gotten there yet. It was about, oh, 3 or so in the afternoon. We had downtime between events (which were scheduled around the clock pretty much) and I guess they just wanted to check out a local watering hole.
Here's what I know word-of-mouth about the Syrian Nazis: They're actual Nazis, first of all, having taken inspiration from Hitler and sporting a modified swastika on their posters and flags. They're a small party, I'm told. They had been banned years ago but are back, but not in force. There are about 300 of them (again, this is what I am told) and are more of a street-gang of bullyboys than an actual party. However, they have the backing of Syria, and they do, when called upon, murder people.

Photographic History of the Civil War - Military Monday
A recent discovery is the ten volume set entitled "Photographic History of the Civil War" edited in 1911 by Francis Trevelyan Miller. Here are several reviews about the collection :
Bauman Rare Books : "The Grandfather of Civil War Histories" : illustrated with over a thousand Brady Photographs.
Civil War News Magazine - June 2010
The entire collection can be located on Google Books. Here are the links to each individual volume :
The Opening Battles, volume one
Two Years of Grim War, volume two
The Decisive Battles, volume three
The Cavalry, volume four
Forts and Artillery, volume five
The navies, volume six
Prisons and Hospitals, volume seven
Soldier Life-Secret Service, volume eight
Poetry and Eloquence of Blue and Gray, volume nine
Armies and Leaders, volume ten
Our family has visited many Civil War battlefields over the years. After viewing these photographs I will never feel the same about the peaceful fields.

Nice discovery Deb!
I have been using Google Books quite a bit lately and, just recently, found an ancestor mentioned in one of them, in a racial incident of all things. I've been able to find out more about the same incident in several other Google Books, enough to piece together quite a story from it.
These Civil War volumes are absolutely wonderful and really make you appreciate those early photographers all the more! Thanks for sharing. I've added all ten volumes to my personal Google Library! (Free is better than paying $1000 to nearly $3000 for the set!)This is fantastic!! I'm a huge fan of Google Books and have found a LOT of info on my family there. I can't wait to spend some time with these volumes. I already see that they've included info on Rock Island prison, where my G4grandfather and his brother were held from December 1963 to March 1965. wooHOO!
Thanks for sharing!
