Guitar Hero On Tour (Nintendo DScentric)
I don't think I've used centric as a suffix before.
Anyway, its right good. Anyone else have it?
Will it work
with my clunky, old, non-lite DS?
I have no idea
There's a little adapter that you remove from the Guitar Grip so that it suits the old DeLorean-style machines.
I'm just about to start Professer Leyton, but after that I might give it a spin.
no but i think i want it
is it actually good?
I made it up
Here is a review
The Good Most of the songs are master tracks Multiplayer modes are pretty good.
The Bad Grip attachment can be extremely uncomfortable Music fidelity is poor A total of 26 songs won't last you very long Guitar Hero without a larger, fake guitar isn't much fun.
Guitar Hero has made the rounds, appearing on all of the current consoles. However, the series' use of licensed music and reliance on large plastic guitars made it seem like you'd never be able party like a rock star on a handheld--especially the cartridge-based Nintendo DS. But never underestimate the lure of making money when it comes to innovation. Vicarious Visions has found a way to bring the Guitar Hero experience to the DS in the form of Guitar Hero: On Tour. Although this accomplishment is impressive from a technical standpoint, a small setlist, a cumbersome fret attachment, and a high price tag ($50 USD) make it seem as if the focus was on whether Guitar Hero: World Tour could be made, and not if it should be made.
i dislike guitar hero
But i may just buy this, mainly because i can't be arsed with over complicated ds games.

Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40: 31
So, are we ready for some football? Well, not quite yet. Although looking around the Church today a visitor, especially a Patriots' fan, might not feel very welcomed. There's green on the altar, pulpit, lectern, and around the necks of the pastors. Know it's the liturgical color of Epiphany, following a tradition that goes back to the 12th century, it's green for a season of growth in faith. Next, what about that first reading from Isaiah where we hear that those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, mounting up with wings like eagles? It's one of 33 times eagles are mentioned in the Bible but was not specifically chosen for this day. It was assigned by a group of scholars who put together the Revised Common Lectionary, over 25 years ago. It's the scripture being heard by Protestant Christians all over the world. Although, not by Roman Catholics in Boston, who instead hear the mournful words of Job 7, "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and come to their end without hope." I think all of this is serendipitous – I love that word – it means a pleasant coincidence, a happy chance – and on this day when a 58-year exile from Super Bowl Glory could end for our hometown team, most appropriate.
There's more going on in our first reading from Isaiah than serendipity. Almost forty years earlier, the Babylonians destroyed the city of Jerusalem, burned down the temple, terminated the dynasty and then deported the brightest and the best of the Jews to exile in Babylon. There according to the psalm, "by the rivers of Babylon they sat down and wept when they remembered Zion, their homeland." (Psalm 137). It was a terrible time when God's people thought they were doomed. But it was also a time of determined resistance. When they no longer had a temple in which to worship their God, they became people of the book. When their children were in danger of forgetting who and whose they were, the rabbis, the teachers, set up synagogues, schools where the faith of their ancestors was passed to the next generation. When the Babylonian's warrior god Marduk seemed to have won, they remember Yahweh, the Creating God who made heaven and earth, called it good and said that human beings, were very good. For three generations these exiles waited, while back home in Jerusalem the city laid in ruins.
Only when the Prophet Isaiah speaks words of comfort and announces the exile is about to end, they're not sure they can trust this good news. So, with a series of questions: "Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told to you? Have you not understood? Isaiah challenges their fear reminding them that the Holy One is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. The prophet invites them to image their life beyond the Babylonian system and to boldly prepare for new possibilities.
Imagining new possibilities can be hard to do. Last fall, I saw this struggle played out during Confirmation with our 9th grade young men and their guide Rob McMahon. Just about every week, during the time of sharing highs and lows, one of the young men said he was worried about the Eagles. Rob, who grew up in Upper Darby where they bleed Eagle green, always counseled, "Don't worry about them, they'll be fine. Besides they're not worrying about you." I suspect Rob has lived through too many disappointments so he knows life is more than being a fan. As a wise rabbi, he's passing faith onto the next generation, so that these young men will learn to wait for more than a Super Bowl victory, no matter how wonderful that is, but to wait for the Lord.
Waiting for the Lord can seem passive, but it's not. It is expecting, looking for, hoping and trusting God is with us. When all else fails, it's discovering we remain God's beloved ones. I learned this the hard way. I loved the image of mounting up on wings like eagles and so I chose it for the first reading at my ordination. When I began ministry at St. Bartholomew's in Trenton visions of my own glory filled my head and I set about seeking to change the church and neighborhood. About nine months into it, Bill, the council president, came to me and said, "Pastor, when are you going to go on vacation?" I gave him the dates. He said, "Good. We're tired. We all need a break." This great saint of the Church was gently letting me know that in my youthful enthusiasm, I had forgotten to "wait for the Lord." My vision would prove inadequate and drain our energy, while God's vision shared in community renewed our strength. What I learned and continue to re-learn, is that in waiting, giving up control, and trusting God, we are given strength.
On Sunday, December 17th, exactly one week after Carson Wentz's injury in the game against the Rams, the young men of the Ninth Grade gave voice to an existential crisis. What would happen now? At that point they doubted Nick Foles was up to the task. But beyond that, they'd seen a Facebook posting where Carson said he believes the Lord has a plan. Their question, "Was it God's plan that Carson was hurt?" Answer, "Not God's plan, perhaps the Ram's offensive coordinator's plan to slow him down." So, what's God's plan? That God would use it to teach Carson, help him grow and leave him stronger. God is with Carson. And God is with them even when everything seems to be going wrong. God is with them bringing them out of despair into hope, shame into forgiveness, sorrow into joy, death into life.
While Isaiah promises that our strength will be renewed, he also tells us it may not be in the way we expect. We may mount up with wings like eagles, or run and not be weary, or walk and not faint. In Biblical Hebrew, three-line sequences like this one grow in emphasis from the first to the third. In other words, the last line is more important to the author than the middle, and the middle is more important than the first. In this case Isaiah's ordering is just the opposite of what we would expect. Surely flying like an eagle should be the pinnacle, not walking without falling down. But the truth is, sometimes, no matter how much we long to soar like an eagle, all we can do is barely manage to put one foot in front of each other. As people of faith that's when we beat ourselves up: "I know I should be stronger," we say. But in the upside-down world of God's new reality, walking without fainting is the pinnacle. St. Paul says God's strength is made perfect in weakness, claiming, "When I am weak, I am strong." Only when we are at our weakest do we fully realize that strength doesn't come from ourselves. It is God's gift to us for we remain dependent on God. Whether we soar, run or just barely walk, we do so because God accompanies us. And when we forget this we can really screw things up.
God gives us strength so we can fulfill the purpose for which we were created: to love God with all our heart and strength and might, and our neighbor as ourselves. Ironically, when are weak and powerless we plead with God to renew our strength. But once our strength is renewed, we easily forget God's role and think we did it all ourselves. From there it's a dangerously short hop to looking at neighbors in need and thinking we're not responsible for them. They should get their lives together, like we did! This exact opposite of the new reality of community grounded in justice, love and mercy God is working to build.
That's why it is so important that we come together here, every week, to remember. "Have you not known?" our liturgy asks, "That you are in bondage to sin and cannot free yourselves?" "Have you not heard," this community confesses, "that Jesus lived, died and rose again to do what you cannot do for yourself, and that his spirit goes with you everywhere? That's why you can endure the worst life can throw at you and stand with and for your neighbors, because God renews our strength.
God gives us the assurance that we matter and will never be forsaken or abandon. And that we must not forsake or abandon one another. All of us will, at some point, fall powerless and exhausted. But God will not leave us there. God will renew our strength and we will mount up with wings like eagles. Now, we're ready for some football! Amen.
Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40: 31

NEWS: HUGE Arrowverse News!
Great day to be a fan of the Arrowverse folks! Today we saw!....
1) Arrow has been renewed for a 4th Season!
2) Firestorms...umm....costume?: Definitely think this is a V1/Prototype suit...
Color seems to be based on the New 52 Future's End color scheme
So here is my updated render based on what we have seen
4) Vixen animated series...IN THE ARROWVERSE!: Why animated?... they probably don't think the character is strong enough to stand on her own? They could just as easily pull the CWSeed show and not make a huge fuss...but canceling a live action show set in the Arrow/Flash universe would cause a much larger stir...especially in that universe overall... and this is a very very interesting thing to do...especially if they chose to bring her on later as a live action character
5) Costumes!

It was redemption day for a pair of Cubs, their chance to contribute after feeling like they were on the outside looking in for most of July.
The pitching hero was Jason Marquis, who picked up his first victory since June 21 against the White Sox.
The hitting hero was Mark DeRosa, who was embarrassed by his .195 July batting average.
Marquis survived 61/3 innings and DeRosa hit a grand slam that put his team ahead for good in a rousing 11-4 triumph over Houston. It marked the Cubs' 33rd comeback victory of the season and gave them a 4-0-1 record in their last five series.
With their first off-day in three weeks Thursday, the Cubs maintain a five-game lead over Milwaukee as they get ready to host the third-place Cardinals.
"We have a chance to [distance] ourselves from them and they have an equal chance to get closer," manager Lou Piniella said. "It's still a little early in the season, but it would be nice for us to play well against them."
It was nice Wednesday to get some production from Marquis, who may be skipped next week for one turn in the rotation, and DeRosa, who is hitting .355 in his last 10 games and gobbled up eight RBIs in his last two.
"It feels good to contribute," he said. "[For a] guy who takes it home with me, July was a rough month. Even though the team was successful, you still want to be productive and take some of the pressure off some of the big guys, although it doesn't look like [ Alfonso] Soriano needs much help right now. When he gets hot, it's pretty unbelievable."
Yes, Soriano was at it again, hitting a three-run homer in the same inning as DeRosa's slam, a third inning that produced eight runs and quickly erased a 4-1 deficit to give Marquis breathing room.
How did DeRosa cope for the last month?
"You never doubt yourself, you never lose confidence," he said. "You wonder sometimes when you're going to get going. I've always been a streak hitter. I never doubted that I would get hot again.
"But … the team is having so much fun and you don't want to be that guy who is moping in the corner. You try not to be. A lot of flaws are hidden among the teams that have success."
Among the flaws has been the much-maligned Marquis, who actually has pitched much better than his record has shown for the last month.
"I've been through these stretches before. It happens," he said. "You just have to battle, know what you're capable of doing and stay positive."
The Cubs are winning now because of a suddenly red-hot offense that had deserted them during a July swing through Houston and Arizona. The lineup has produced nine double-digit hit days in the last 15 games, including Wednesday, when every starter reached base and scored.
"I said when we were in Houston and Arizona that once we got [a healthy] Soriano back that would help stabilize a lot of things offensively. And it has," Piniella said. "He gives us a lot of flexibility and when he gets hot, he carries you."
Soriano has 20 hits, including six homers, in his last 11 games.

Tennis star Venus Williams signed a contract with Reebok worth a reported $40 million today in what is believed to be the richest endorsement deal ever for a female athlete.
"This is another part of reaching out for my dreams," said Williams, who won Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and Olympic gold medals during a 35-match winning streak this year. At 20, she is ranked third in the world.
Rare for Women
Huge endorsement deals are rare in women's sports. Nike has deals with soccer's Mia Hamm, basketball's Lisa Leslie, track's Marion Jones and top-ranked tennis star Martina Hingis, who has a six-year pact worth nearly $30 million.
On paper, Anna Kournikova may have the richest deal of all, a six-year contract with Adidas worth $50 million. But it guarantees the tennis star only about $3 million, with the rest contingent on her success on the court. And she has yet to win her first tournament.
By contrast, Nike has a reported $100 million deal with Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan generates $40 million a year in endorsement income two years after his retirement from basketball.
The terms of Williams' deal were not disclosed, but Reebok marketing officer Angel Martinez suggested that reports of a five-year contract worth $40 million were accurate.
Similarities To Tiger Woods
Like Woods, Williams, who is black, has succeeded as a minority athlete in a sport historically dominated by whites.
"I have to be the best in everything I do," she said. "We've come a long way with the WNBA and the soccer players. I'm doing what I can. Maybe that's the most important part."
Donna Lopiano, executive director of the Women's Sports Foundation, said the deal "announces a new era in the corporate valuing of the female athlete."
David Bober, who represents Hamm, was also impressed.
"It can only help shorten the gap between male and female athletes on endorsements," he said. "It's another signal that we are moving toward parity, a clear message that women's sports are here to stay."
Williams has been affiliated with Reebok since she was 11 years old. Their previous agreement, a five-year, $12 million deal signed in 1995, expired in April, just before Williams began her winning streak.
Williams' younger sister, Serena, has an endorsement deal with Puma.
Venus Williams recalled taking a congratulatory telephone call from President Clinton after winning the U.S. Open, telling him, "Lower my taxes." Now she might need a word with President-elect Bush.
"My people will have lunch with his people," she said.

I got my nose pierced with a nose piercing gun, and have had no problems with it. So far, it has healed properly and I feel ready to take it out. It fell out once very easily, but when I went to put it back in, it when right through. The problem is, I can't get it back out. It is one of those nose studs that has a straight end, and then a pointy triangle shaped thing on the end to keep it in. How can I get it out?

Ok so here I am again, blogging so far from my last blog. It's once again been a crazy few months and I'm hope now it will slow down. Between my parents moving in with us from FL for a few months, to them packing it all up and moving back because my dad got a job there, it's been a mad house.
So with all of these happenings going on it really slowed me down emotionally and physically. I thought ok I need a major shut down and some rest. So that's what I've been doing shutting me down. Not in the oh poor me shut down just shutting down me. I wanted my focus to belong somewhere else. I looked and searched and found I already focus so much on my step kiddos, staying a healthy family, keeping up with my sister so far away. And then it hit me, my Hubby, my Hubby Dave. That's where I need to focus. So I threw myself into him. Actually getting to know him better and finding out that my Hubbies passion for cigars was actually more than just something he likes to enjoy it was just that, a passion. Something he loves to talk about and share with other people. He is actually really knowledgeable too, who knew!?! I just thought he liked smoking them for a little him time. So my goal is to get him to share his passion with others via blogging, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram. So far he is pleased with what he is seeing. Now to come up with a witty name and get him to start blogging.
On another note, spending all of this time and supporting him we now find ourselves pregnant! It is my first and Dave's third. Tomorrow is a big day as we may find out the gender! All so very exciting!
So from my cup of tea to yours! Cheers my Friend!

I bought a laptop online and was supposed to be delivered on the 17th of June.
For two days the tracking webpage said that delivery had been attempted but not completed.
What a crock! I work in a single room office and I take lunch at my desk. FedEx never even came to the door. He simply never even tried to deliver the package.
I still haven't seen my package. Everyone in my area says this driver takes several days to deliver after the webpage says it's "loaded on the truck for delivery". For some reason Fedex won't fire this guy, even though we've registered several complaints.
I can only guess that the problem is not with the driver, but with the management that won't deal with him.
Do not use Fedex. "Anytime, anywhere" is false advertising, as far as I'm concerned.

Akua Dixon at the Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival
It's not as if there were ever clear paths for cello players beyond the European classical tradition, but Akua Dixon made one for herself. The New York City native found work in the pit band of the Apollo Theater, the multi-racial Symphony of the New World, and the bands of many jazz musicians — including drummer Max Roach's Double Quartet. As she developed her jazz chops, she also started her own string quartet.

Is there a way to just get rid of the round edges to make them sharp and make the bos the same height as the rest of the boxes?
That should be enough

These bowls are adorned with a classic Turkish tulip print with a diameter of 10cm they are teeny tiny but are great to use as a set. We think they make great dip bowls, mix and match with the Tulip Platters! Please remember each of these bowls are hand painted so no two bowls are alike and you may find perfect imperfections in each one. Wash gently with soap and water.

Public Enemies (Universal) is Michael Mann's take on the gangster glory days of the depression, when the most flamboyant and notorious bank robbers became the outlaw heroes of the day. Mann plays on that mystique in casting Johnny Depp as John Dillinger, a charmer and a cagey media player who was careful to maintain his folk-hero status as a kind of Robin Hood figure taking on the system (the banks, the cops, the government that failed America) in the depths of the depression. And while he has no compunctions about taking civilian hostages as human shields, he acts more like a host than a kidnapper, sharing jokes with his temporary captives and turning their ordeal into an adventure that they'll be able to tell the papers and newsreels.
Mann is a director who loves to dissect the details of men at work and admire the professionalism of his characters in action, whether it's the mechanics of a successful prison break or the systematic efforts of FBI agent Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) and his squad to patiently gather evidence and tail suspects until he pieces enough together to find his man. And this is a thinking man's gangster film, less about thrills than the mechanics of Dillinger's heists and Purvis' investigation, which he executes with his usual precision. But it's also about the end of the gangster era, shut down not just by the efforts of the FBI but the increasing power of the mob syndicate as it leaves violent crime behind for the less public activities like gambling. See my feature review on my blog here.
Michael Mann provides a thoughtful commentary track focused on his efforts to evoke the people and the place: "Not just how 1933 looked, the cars and clothes, but how people in 1933 thought." He pauses often for long breaks, however, throughout his solo track. The single-disc DVD also includes the ten-minute "Larger Than Life: Adversaries," with Mann and stars Johnny Depp and Christian Bale discussing their characters and their research (actors love to show off their research – did you know Depp was born about 60 miles away from Dillinger's birthplace?). The "2-Disc Special Edition" includes four more featurettes, including the twenty-minute overview "Michael Mann: Making Public Enemies" and the nine-minute "Criminal Technology," a tribute to Mann's exacting attention to period detail and the actors learning the tools of their characters' trade, plus a digital copy of the film for portable media players. Exclusive to the Blu-ray edition is a picture-in-picture track of brief featurettes that you can bring up at key moments in the film or jump to via an interactive timeline, a gangster movie quiz and the usual interactive functions for BD-Live players.
It's Harry Potter Mania this week, timed very nicely to the Christmas gift-buying season. In addition to the DVD/Blu-ray debut of the sixth film of the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Warner), there is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Ultimate Edition (Warner) and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Ultimate Edition (Warner): newly expanded special editions of the first two films in series.
I like the direction that director David Yates has taken the series. His background directing character-based TV drama has come to the fore in keeping the focus on the characters and their place in the unfolding drama. The first films were very visually colorful and narratively dramatic, with big things happening and characters rising to heroic levels. By Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, it feels like we're seeing these characters live through this story, rather than acting out an adaptation. The story flirts with young love (and love potions) at Hogwarts but also moves into a darker and more adult direction and Yates follows suit with a film that is more intimate and somber. The effects are excellent but secondary to the character drama. There is less rollercoaster action and splashy set pieces and more focus on the people at the center of the action.
Where the later films move away from the painstakingly literal translations of J.K Rowling's increasingly sprawling novels, these first two films are perfect replicas created with a kind of funhouse spectacle of the wonders of the magical world come to life. Looking back on the original Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), a lush, lavishly produced introduction to Potter's world and the wondrous delights of the magic castle of Hogwarts, we can see that Steve Kloves' script condenses scene after scene to essentials (of character revelation as well as plot necessities) and director Chris Columbus' admirable desire to put the novel onscreen in all its detail ends up favoring events over people. It's also a reminder of how the young stars have grown up through the films and how the sense of wonder has turned more ominous over time. Daniel Radcliffe has grown already by Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) and his presence benefits greatly from his increased confidence and maturity, and Kenneth Branagh is perfectly cast as the guest wizard, a glib, ego-maniacal author who spends more time preening that practicing spells. Columbus continues to delight in the phantasmagoria of the magical details (like the Whomping Willow) but, sadly, this film marks the final appearance of the late great Richard Harris as the paternal Headmaster Dumbledore. The sets feature both the original theatrical cut plus an extended version of each film, a digital copy of the film for portable media players and bonus discs of supplements. See below for details.
The Brigitte Bardot Classic Collection (Image) – Brigitte Bardot was never much of an actress, but she didn't need to be. The shapely, fleshy starlet was all sex and innocence that radiated from the screen, even in complete fluff. This new set from Image packages together three films previously released on DVD by Home Vision early in the decade, including two such early, unambitious vehicles that offer the girlish sex symbol in her prime. In Plucking The Daisy (1956) she's a young provincial woman who runs off to Paris to become a famous writer and winds up in a striptease contest (a nonchalant flesh pageant of sexy French misses), much to the consternation of her conservative father. The silly bon-bon of romantic travails and mistaken identities by Marc Allegret is an often overbearingly chauvinistic sex comedy that survives solely on Bebe's charms: Sex bomb Bardot flutters her eyes in coy flirtation and come hither stares while squeezed into tight blouses, shrink wrap dresses, and lacy negligees. The Night Heaven Fell (1958) is her second film with husband/director Roger Vadim, who made her an international sex kitten in the 1956 And God Created Woman). In this arch, unsubtle melodrama set in the steamy Spanish high country, she's a convent girl who moves in with her kindly aunt (Alida Valli) and sleazy, sex-crazed Uncle, and becomes entangled in a deadly erotic triangle when she falls for local tough guy Stephen Boyd. Vadin sells the picture by getting his wife out of her dresses and into lingerie, nighties, and less as often as possible. Sex sells, and the French know how to package a gift like Bardot. Vadim shoots it in earthy color and CinemaScope and the disc preserves both in an anamorphic widescreen transfer. Don Juan, or If Don Juan Were a Woman (aka Don Juan 73, 1973), Bardot's final feature, rounds out the collection. The implicit answer to the title is that if Don Juan were a woman, she would be Brigitte Bardot, which sounds like an idea that now-former husband and director Roger Vadim would warm to. His salacious drama is about the sexual exploits and conquests of a woman who has spent her life devouring and destroying men, all told in flashback as she confesses to her priest and cousin.
High school poetry teacher and aspiring novelist Lance Clayton (Robin Williams) is not quite the World's Greatest Dad (Magnolia), but his son (Alexie Gilmore) is a real jerk of a teenager, utterly foul and hateful and despised by everyone… until he kills himself and his suicide note and journals (written by Dad) are embraced by his students as the heartfelt cry of a misunderstood artist. It's a black comedy of our impulse to deify the dead, especially a teen suicide, and Lance's efforts to rewrite his son's story is nothing compared to the way his classmates transform this outcast into their best friend. Written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, it's more clever than smart, but very funny and Williams underplays the part nicely. Features commentary by writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait (recorded while on painkillers – and BTW, Bob, you didn't talk too much on this track), two featurettes, deleted scenes and outtakes. Also available on Blu-ray.
Blu-ray(s) of the week: Harry Potter Ultimate Editions (Warner). See above for notes on the films themselves. The DVDs spread the films and supplements over five discs while the DVD packs it all into three per set. Each of these lavish editions feature both the original theatrical cut plus an extended version of each film, a digital copy of the film for portable media players and bonus discs of supplements. Along with all the interviews and deleted scenes and interactive activities of the original releases, these sets each include an excellent new hour-long "Creating the World of Harry Potter" documentary (where old and new interviews with the stars show just how they've matured over the years), more deleted scenes and other goodies: "Sorcerer's Stone" features the nine-minute promotional TV special "A Glimpse into the World of Harry Potter" and a new introduction by Daniel Radcliffe and "Chamber of Secrets" includes screen tests of the young stars, a promotional featurette and a gallery of trailers and TV spots. Exclusive to the Blu-ray editions are picture-in-picture audio/video commentary with director Chris Columbus and BD-Live supplements. Each set snugly held in a heavy slipsleeve with a magnetic clasp which also contains an exclusive 48-page photo book and two character cards one thick card stock.
Also new this week: the acclaimed documentary The Cove (Lionsgate), Shane Meadows' Somers Town (Film Movement) and Lion's Den (Leonera) (First Run).

Marketing Cards
Want to leave an amazing first impression with those people you want to have as clients?
Conducting a letterbox drop? Or perhaps attending an exhibition and need something to hand out that is small, but contains vital information to convince a potential customer that they need to find out more about your products?
Then a high quality marketing card is what you need!
Marketing cards come in sizes A6, DL, and DLX ? DLX is 240 x 130mm, the maximum size to be able to use for an unaddressed mail drop, and really makes your piece stand out from everything else in the mail box.
When printing your marketing cards, you can go down one of two roads. Option A ? create an overcrowded piece that tries to relay too much information, and then print it on really poor quality stock. If you like this option, please feel free to save your time and energy, and simply donate your money to a charity of your choice.
Option B ? contact us at Rogue and we can help you to create a concise and clear marketing piece that gets your message across quickly, maintains your brand standards, and looks professional {and interesting}. We will then print on high quality gloss or matt card stocks, and we can even offer embellishments such as matt or gloss cello {light laminate}, rounded corners, die cut shapes and more.
So the call is entirely yours. Option A? Or the Rogue Print and Mail way.

Peekskill waterfront as dusk began to fall and the fog thickened.
I took my dog Max out for a walk at the waterfront. One thing that is true about any waterfront is that it's beauty changes with the season. Temps in Peekskill are still struggling to get above 50. The snow has finally all just melted. Even though it's spring, the bare tree's are reminiscent of the winter I would rather forget. Nevertheless, the moodiness is undeniable. The scene evoked a loud peace that I wanted to capture and never forget. This was an atmospheric weekend dressed in wind, fog, clouds, and plenty of RAIN. Days like today where the sky is overcast and the light is diffuse is the best light to shoot in, especially if you like moody images like I do. Below are a series I shot with my iphone. I enjoy grain in moody images. Some photographer's prefer images that are super sharp. I think the grain in the images lends itself nicely to a documentary aesthetic. Enjoy the view!

It is hard to see her as the next President of Haiti.
She became Prime Minister with the help of those same "illiterate thugs" who legitimately asked her to explain how US S 197 millions were spent.
The Senators had the right to question her. This the check and balance system the Haitian People have been asking for. No one has the absolute power.
The Prime Minister should have known better.
Her legitimity comes from the Legislative Branch and not from the State Department or the OAS or the Minustha.

Update From Here in the Heartland
I shared previously that we were going to attend a church for awhile and just see how the settling in 'fits'. A part of that is attending a Wednesday night discipleship class as well as joining a women's encouragement group. I LOVE the encouragement group and I'm warming to the Wed. night class. The teacher on Wednesday is a bit green around the gills, but his heart is in the right place. His passion is discipleship...that is clear.
We also tried a different "small group" this month and it was a better fit than the other we visited. We may go back to this one or we may try one more group. For some reason my husband and I are more comfortable around the older crowds. I don't know if we enjoy being the youngest (after years of being considered seniors in our 30's), or if it's the wisdom this group has and shares so openly. Whatever it is, we typically find ourselves most at home with the 50-60 y.o. groups.
The encouragement group is a 'mystery encourager' for a quarter. So I've been having fun writing cards and picking out little gifts to encourage her on her journey. Plus, I'm all about wrapping the stuff and the presentation.
I'm also starting a women's study this Tuesday evening at another church in town that we had visited. While we aren't going to the church, I was interested in their studies and emailed the leader. The book is by Kay Arthur; "Lord, Teach Me How To Pray". I've read a few of her books, but done no studies. I do like her writing style and I know it can only add to what I already practice.
The most exciting news is that just a few short weeks ago I got to meet a blogger I've read and 'loved' and talked to on the phone a few times...in REAL LIFE on a recent visit she made to Tulsa. The hubs and I drove up to meet with her for an afternoon amidst a family situation she was helping maintain. It was so exciting and she was as sweet and encouraging in person as she is on the phone and in writing. She doesn't write so much anymore...I don't know why, I think life has just sort of taken over, but I'm keeping her on my blog list because I know she'll check in eventually...I know you're dying to know WHO it is...well wait no longer, it is Time For Twittering, Tam.
We shopped a bit together and shared a bite to eat at Cheesecake Factory...which was a blast. I could talk to her easily all day and night for days on end if the opportunity ever presented itself...and I'm very excited about sometime...hopefully SOON getting to go up to her hometown and visiting her and her whole family!
That's pretty much it from here in the heartland! I hope all is well everywhere else in this blogdom and beyond. Christmas is fast approaching and I'm not ready, nor am I the slightest motivated about it. I love the season, but am rethinking the whole over-gifting thing...at least today.
Have a blessed and beautiful Pre-Fall Sunday!

It was so good to catch up! I am so happy to hear that you're enjoying worship and small groups again. That is SO important! I know you're enjoying the gift giving.
I am happy also that you got to meet a blog friend. That is SUCH fun. I have met 2 and Barb (Chelsea Morning) will be here next month. Exciting.
We must meet someday - if we ever get back down there, or if you get up here, let's make a date for sure.
Keep in touch!

Hey Girl....wow..it sounds like you're really busy with things these days, but it's exciting to read that it's all around you getting filled up, and meeting people. It's such a lot of work isn't it, finding a new church, fitting in..finding what works etc. You sound like you're finding your niche in some areas - loved reading about the Encouragement group. Tell me more about it when you can...maybe it's something I can do in my church!

Glad you are having a great month of catching up & experiencing new groups & such. I'm finding it hard with groups of any sort in the town I'm in. Its a mostly senior citizen town, and while I too love hanging out with them, they are fickle when it comes to commitment. (Art groups, photography groups, business groups - they all seem to falter) Hence I am afraid to commit to a Bible Study group.
Glad you got to meet a blogging friend. That is super cool!

Knowing your BMI is important. It gives you an idea of how much weight you need to lose. It can show you where you need to improve your diet and exercise routines. They are not always the best gauge of your body fat.
The reason why it is not that accurate is because it takes your overall body weight in order to make the calculations. This means that they healthy fats that you have, as well as the weight of your muscles, are all being mixed into this calculation.
It is not reasonable or realistic to expect to get a body that is completely free of all fat. Let's face it, some fat is healthy. You need a certain amount. It is also unreasonable to gauge your overall health on your BMI because of these inaccuracies. You need to make sure that you understand this before you start looking at your BMI numbers.
Finding your BMI
Here are the steps you need to do to find your BMI:
- Multiply the weight in pounds by 0.45
- Multiply the height in inches by 0.025
- Square the answer from step 2
- Divide the answer from step 1 by the answer from step 3
Now we need to break this down so that you understand it:
The BMI of a person who is 5'3 and who weighs 125 pounds is calculated as follows:
- 125 X 0.45 = 56.25 kg
- 63 X 0.025 = 1.575 m
- 25 : 2.480625 = 22.7
So here you can see that the BMI for this person is going to be about 23 if you round it. 22.7 if you want to be absolutely precise.
There are other methods for getting your BMI. For example, you can get you a digital scale that will tell you what your BMI is without any hassle. All you have to do is just step on the scale. The main benefit of this is that you can track your BMI as it changes.
While you are looking at your numbers on a digital scale, consider getting one that will give you an accurate body fat percentage by calculation your muscle mass and your bone density. That way you know how accurate your BMI is. That way you can adjust your diet and exercise as you need to.
Remember that as you lose weight your numbers will all fluctuate a little. Your weight is going to change all the time. The best thing to do is to get a digital scale that will track the numbers as you need them. It will give you an overall view of your weight. Essentially, it will put your weight loss and health back into your hands.
It is your health; it is completely up to you how you manage it. As long as you are consistent in your efforts, you burn more than you consume, and you focus on health, you will see success in your weight loss. Be flexible and be happy dieting.

NEW CASTLE, Del. (6/2/14)--For one Delaware family, credit union service is a three-generation tradition.
|From left, Evelyn Kyritsis, Sara Bartley and Susan Kyritsis Winward represent three generations of on family's credit union service in Delaware. (Photo provided by Delaware Credit Union League)
The tradition began in 1970 when Evelyn Kyritsis became manager at Delaware Central FCU, according to the Delaware Credit Union League (Together June 1). Evelyn went on to work as manager of City of Newark FCU, where she remained until 1992. Evelyn told the Delaware league she enjoyed working at credit unions "because it felt like family" and the work performed was benefiting financial standing of members.
Her daughter, Susan Kyritsis Winward, got her first credit union experience when she helped Evelyn prepare the monthly member statements for mailing. When an opportunity to work as a loan officer Capitol Trail Auto Workers FCU was presented to Susan in 1977, she followed in her mother's footsteps. Capitol Trail Auto Workers FCU is now known as Delaware First FCU, Wilmington, with $26 million in assets.
In 1994, Susan returned to her credit union roots, following a stint with the U.S. Postal Service. She combined the two career paths, becoming an assistant manager at Wilmington (Del.) Postal FCU. In 2000, the board of directors at Wilmington Postal FCU rewarded Susan's dedication naming her CEO, a position she still holds with the $16 million-asset credit union.
The family tradition continued when Susan told her niece, Sara Bartley, the daughter of her sister, Marilynn Kyritsis Bartley, about a job opportunity at Delaware First FCU. Although Sara had never planned to work at a credit union, she accepted a teller position at Delaware First FCU--the same credit union where Susan Winward started her career.
Sara has set her sights set on advancing in the credit union system, with hopes of following in the footsteps of her grandmother and aunt to eventually become a credit union CEO herself. She takes advantage of training opportunities whenever possible and joined the Delaware Credit Union League's Young Professionals Network. Sara finds the group's energy invigorating and likes being able to "share ideas with other young credit union employees."

This is by far the easiest Blog Week post to write, so far - I've been looking forward to it!
My Knitting and Crochet Heroine is my grandmother, knitting away here on the beach on the left, in her deckchair. She is notable also as the only person who is not wearing anything like 'beachwear': she didn't really like the water, and couldn't swim! The picture was taken at California Cliffs, near Hemsby, Norfolk, in the summer of 1953, before my mother (far right) had met my father, or had me. My Grandma could knit beautifully, and Mum tells me she knitted patterns up professionally for publishers to check their accuracy- - we need to find out more about this! She knitted us clothes, but also made fantastic outfits for our teddies and dolls. She knitted the dolls themselves, too, 'by sight' - just making their little bodies without a pattern. She could also crochet, making it look very easy. I still have three cardigans she knitted me when I was in my twenties, and my childhood teddies are still wearing their knitted cricket jumpers.
My Mum should be a Heroine, too, as she, along with Grandma, taught me to knit and crochet, and she does lots of knitting, rootling and rummaging with me in wool shops wherever we find them. I am very pleased and grateful that I had these Heroines teaching me these skills - I hope other parents and grandparents are passing them on!

The Hong Kong government was deficient on four counts with regard to the handling of the Occupy pro-democracy movement last year, according to Civil Society Joint Action, a group founded by some academics and professionals.
A study conducted by the group concluded that the government failed to analyze the social situation correctly during the first phase of consultation on constitutional reform, the Hong Kong Economic Journal reported.
The consultation method in turn exacerbated the internal conflicts in society, it said. Meanwhile, the way the police handled the protests was questionable.
The fourth "deficiency" pertains to moves by the administrative agencies, and Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying himself, toward signature campaigns that were full of political characteristics, the group said.
Robert Chung, director of public opinion program at the University of Hong Kong and the lead writer of the report, said the study is even more comprehensive than what the government came up with in a similar review after the Occupy movement.
The government has maintained an aggressive attitude in the wake of the movement, and has yet to show any reconciliation gestures to the public, Chung added.
The group urged the government to review its methods for the second round of consultation on political reform, in order to restore trust in the process.
Civil Society Joint Action will organize a forum later this month to enable a public discussion among political parties, academia and the youth.

text: Asset-Based Finance Asset-Based Finance Internationally, Islamic banks continue to develop economically sound financial packages to accommodate modern trends in the business world. Over the years financial products have been put in place very successfully in order to promote the growth and development of businesses. Al Baraka Bank has kept pace with these developments and introduced financial products to suit local market conditions. These products now serve the business community by providing them with structured packages for the purchase of equipment and machinery. Al Baraka Bank has successfully implemented the Murabaha sale with repayments on an instalment basis as a method of financing for all assets, which includes business equipment, industrial machinery and commercial vehicles. In a Murabaha sale transaction ownership of the asset is transferred to the client immediately. Both parties agree at the outset of the Murabaha contract on the profit mark-up and the period and terms of the repayment. These terms cannot be changed for the duration of the transaction. Structured packages are advantageous as they allow a business to plan better for growth, development and the upgrading of equipment. Since the price and instalments are fixed, forecasts and profitability are easier to predict regardless of market volatility which could otherwise impact on the cash flow of the business. Feel free to speak to a financial consultant on the benefits of Al Baraka's asset-based finance packages. Click here to contact us and find out more about investing with Al Baraka Bank.

"Calloused Hands" tells the near autobiographical coming-of-age story of director Jesse Quinones. This is a
unique Latino film that showcases touching storytelling and deals with a12-year-old mixed
and interfaith boy growing up in Miami. The acting alone behind Jesse's
direction make this a must see film to support. (Also seeing my fellow
Chilena Julia Grob in the film made me proud!).
LatinoBuzz: This is a deeply personal story, was there any fear of telling it?
Quinones: While I was writing it especially, that process was quite painful, and I wasn't really sure if I wanted to delve back into some of those memories.
It definitely brought up some stuff for me. Once I got into the pre-production and production side of things, there was so much to do, that there was
little room to think about the fact that this was a personal story. At that point, we were just trying to make a film. But there were some moments during
the film that definitely caught me off guard, where I had to step away from the monitor and gather myself. The actors and crew were really respectful of
that, which I appreciated a lot. They knew they were telling a story based on my life, and they really worked hard to honor that.
LatinoBuzz: What is your background?
Quinones: My father is from Cuba and my mother is from Ireland and she's Jewish. So I'm pretty mixed up!
LatinoBuzz: What was the fundraising process? Did it come from the UK or Stateside?
Quinones: Funding for the film largely came from private investors in the UK. And then we got some finishing funds from a private investor out of Miami. We
also got a lot of in-kind support from the crew. They were amazing and worked tirelessly for very little.
LatinoBuzz: How did you get into the industry? Was there a particular filmmaker or film that influenced you?
Quinones: I had a real indirect way into the industry. I started off as a reporter in print journalism, then moved into theater, and from there into
documentaries, and finally into feature films. You know I've had a lot of influences. I think my earliest memory of going to the cinema and just being so
touched by what I saw was Malcolm X by Spike Lee. It was just such a powerful film, and really stayed with me. Spike Lee is a great story teller and
definitely up there for me. More recent influences, Derek Cianfrance is a big inspiration to me. I loved both Blue Valentine and Place Beyond the Pines. I love the performance in his films, the pacing, the tone, when you see one of his films, you kind of get taken for this
ride, he really goes there. I'd love my films to create that same feeling.
LatinoBuzz: Has any members of your family seen it?
Quinones: Yeah my mother saw it. She's real proud of me. She's no stranger to using her own life as a creative template, she's a writer herself, and has
written a book about her life. So when I started working on Calloused Hands she gave me her blessing. She's been real supportive of it.
LatinoBuzz: What's the next project?
Quinones: I have a few projects in the pipeline. I'm working on a British set fight movie about a Cagefighter who has to fight his demons both in and outside
of the cage. That is being produced by Paula Crickard, who also produced Calloused Hands. I'm also working on a romantic comedy called Carlito y Jane,
which is about a British playwright that goes to Cuba and ends up marrying a young Cuban playboy. That has the Cuban ballet dancer Carlos Acosta attached.
And then I'm attached to direct a project called The Nanny, which was written by Braulio Montovani, he also wrote City of God.
Also working on some short
form stuff, I just shot a music video for a great singer named Kathrin deBoer, which I'm real excited about. You can check out some of her work at www.kathrindeboer.com . And recently I was signed to the agency Irresistible Films, who represent me for
commercials and documentaries. So at the moment just trying to stay busy and creative!
LatinoBuzz: Luca and Andre have incredible and heartbreaking chemistry. How did you find them?
Quinones: Luca was found via a very traditional audition process. I had a staged reading in LA about a year before we shot the film and we saw about 50 kids
for it, and all of them were really good. But there was just something about Luca. I think he reminded me a lot of me. He's serious, big for his age, kind
of looks real quiet on the outside but has a lot going on underneath. Andre, we connected via a mutual friend Julia Grob, who also has a role in the film.
She hit him up on Twitter, and asked if he'd be interested in reading my script. He was, and read it, and asked to meet me.
I live in London and he lives
in LA so I was hoping a 'meet' might be translated into a Skype. But he really wanted a face to face, I think he wanted to see if I was for real. It's
Andre Royo, he played the most favorite character (Bubbles) on one of America's most favorite shows (The Wire). So I got myself on a plane, headed to LA,
and we met and talked about the project. He had lots of questions, lots of notes, but ultimately I think he saw enough in it. The film wouldn't have been
the same without those two, they brought a huge amount to their parts, stuff that wasn't necessarily on the page.

- Maxi Spindrift 2
Yann Guichard has finished the 10th edition of the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe in second position. After 8 days, 5 hours, 18 minutes and 46 seconds of racing, his maxi-trimaran Spindrift 2 crossed the finish line in Pointe-à-Pitre today (Monday, November 10th) at 14:18:46 local time (18:18:46 UTC). The runner-up of this record-breaking transatlantic crossing finished 14h 10mn 14s behind the race winner, Loïck Peyron (Banque Populaire VII). Yann completed the official 3,542 nautical miles race at an average speed of 17,95 knots, although in reality travelled 4 334 miles at an average speed of 21,96 knots!
The 40-year-old Spindrift 2 skipper has not only successfully crossed the Atlantic in a 40m trimaran, the largest ever to compete in this race, but has achieved a magnificent second-place finish. His performance has gained the plaudits of his peers and of the huge crowd that has gathered at Pointe-à-Pitre's main square, Place de la Victoire, where the atmosphere is incredible.
The result is a true reflection of Yann's tremendous efforts over the past eight days. Once again he has shown his immense competitive spirit and exemplary mental strength. This podium finish in Guadeloupe is also a fitting reward for the outstanding work put in by the entire Spindrift racing team over the past months. The team and its partners, Mirabaud, Genes-x and Zenith, are proud to have been part of another chapter in the legendary Route du Rhum.
Coming soon: first reactions from Yann Guichard when he reaches the Quai d'Honneur in Pointe-à-Pitre.
