"This would have been a solid game, ten years ago.
Is it the climate? Is it that I'm impatient? Is it that I'm somehow unfairly expecting games to have grown up other than in terms of aesthetics in the last decade?
Or is it that Lost Odyssey is just big, dumb and pretty?"
Did this douchebag even bother to get into the story, or did he just decide that finding gold behind a poster was too far-fetched (like there haven't been stranger items in stranger places in other games)?
Would like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but from what I read... he seemed to want to find something bad about it (or just has little patience--most JRPG take a couple hours to really pick up). I will agree the start isn't that great (well first 30m isn't bad, but then like next hour is slow going in comparison--especially if you just run around looking for loose change everywhere).
I went in knowing it had alot of cutscenes/dialogue (all JRPG do, but at times LO does have 'more' at specific instances). Also, combat evolves much, much more the longer you play (as characters progress, new characters are introduced, new items are found, etc). Its start may be 'slow' but it progresses much better than most and is definately my favorite JRPG this generation (but not all that much competition so far to be perfectly honest--still, one of best in years at the very least, imho).
The gaming media is on their whole bash everything 360 for 3 months kick, after that they will be back to pointing out the negatives on PS3. They seem to go back and forth every few months so they have no credibility in my book, at least not most of them. Pretty much every non professional reviewer of this game loved it. It has not changed much from past JRPGs, it just improved a few things, that is what people wanted, the reviewers are just morons, DMC4 is a last gen game with next gen graphics, but it got a bunch of 8s and 9s across the board from reviewers, so whatever. Take these reviews with a grain of salt.
That's two thirds of what makes up a BABOON. Big, and Dumb.......AHAHAHHAHAHHA

Glutathione reductase (GR) is a member of pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductases, which includes the closely related enzymes thioredoxin reductase, lipoamide dehydrogenase, trypanothione reductase and mercuric ion reductase. GR is a cytoplasmic flavoenzyme widely distributed in aerobic organisms. The dimeric protein is composed of two identical subunits, each containing 1 FAD and 1 redox-active disulfide/dithiol as components of the catalytic apparatus. It plays a role in maintaining glutathione (GSH) in its reduced form by catalyzing the reduction of glutathione disulfide (GSSG):GSSG + NADPH + H+⇔2GSH + NADP+ In most eukaryotic cells, GR maintains the ratio of [GSH]/[GSSG] elevated, and participates in several vital functions such as the detoxification of reactive oxygen species as well as protein and DNA biosynthesis.

As you can see I took more than a few days off from blogging. In my last post, 'Clearing Some Time', I concluded by challenging myself to start praying beyond my own needs and actually listen to God and His plan for me. Novel idea isn't it? In short I needed to shut up. And that's exactly what I did. I have been quite for five days.
Now I'm ready to start talking, or blogging again and hope that you are ready to jump back in.
As I was writing the last post (and I mean literally as I was writing it) I was faced with some personal challenges that took me back to places that I thought were behind me. It has been a trip back that I haven't wanted to take. I don't think that it was coincidental that as I was writing about my need to shut my mouth and open my ears to God I was taken to these dark places. While I have had my ears open and blog turned off for the past five days I have not had any major, earth shattering revelations from God about my life or the world. What I have gained is some clarity of thought at a time when my head has been the foggiest.
During my past few days of listening I have given a lot of consideration to the passages for today's post. As I listened and listened and listened some more, Matthew 16:13 – 20 have really spoken to me. Jesus and the disciples are in the middle of a whirl wind tour full of signs, wonders, prophesy and teaching. Despite all that they have seen and heard these guys still aren't completely sure about what is going on in their little world or who this man Jesus really is.
In verse 13 Jesus asks them "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They reply that "Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." (v. 14). That's a 21st Century answer if I've ever heard one! Even with all the evidence of Christ people still insist that Jesus was a good moral leader, philosopher, or teacher. That Jesus represents nothing more than an important, religious, historical figure. A figure who may be relevant to some but for the majority is nothing more than a man, albeit a famous one. A man not unlike John, Elijah or Jeremiah.
Verses 15 and 16 is when my ears really tuned in. 15"But what about you?" he [Jesus] asked. "Who do you say I am?" 16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." In my adversity, when others are watching, during the times in my life when it really counts who do I say that he is? In all truth I say that he is the Christ but I behave as if he were someone less. Someone like John or Elijah or Jeremiah. I can fool myself into believing that I have control over my circumstances when I minimize the truth, that he is the Son of the Living God, and begin to limit him by viewing him as a spiritual advisor or a good, moral example. I limit him when he becomes an intellectual figure rather than a relational one.
Shut up and listen. As I struggled through a difficult weekend full of emotional highs and lows I spent a lot of time asking God to fill me with the truth of who he is. That I would begin to experience him for who he is, the Son of Man, the Living God. That he would speak to me in undeniable ways and I would respond by calling him Christ no matter the outcome of my trial.
I love the song 'Jesus, Lover of My Soul' and it has been stuck with me for days. The lyrics are my testimony. He has taken me through the clay, set me on on the rock, didn't let me go. I love him and need him. Even if my world falls I will hold on and not let go. And when asked "Who do you say that I am?" I will respond "He is the lover of my soul, my Savior, my closest friend, the one I will worship until the end".
As a footnote: For all of my dear friends who read this blog and have been praying for me these past few days, thank you. I am truly blessed. Thanks for praying and thanks for reading. It's good to be back!

I'm knitting a monkeh
I am not really an impulse knitter, but Maha said "I want a monkey", small problem because 'i don't like monkeys' so I spent the time and found a monkey pattern I could get my head around - 1. it's based on a Jim Henson character from the Creature Shop, and 2. well it's a British "monkeh". ITV and Johnny Vegas etc, here.
You can see clips here: ITV DIGITAL MONKEY ADVERT 1
You can see my knitted pieces and some process photos here, not a tutorial but helpful because there are not diagrams with the pattern. Flickr-tag monkey
the patttern is here: ITV Monkey

I live in a suburb of Phoenix, Az. and work for the local major airline which has its main hub here. We also operate an extensive night operation flying to almost every large city in the USA. This affords me the opportunity to star gaze at high altitudes while taking people to their destinations. The Earth rotates around 800 mph at the USA's latitude so during eastbound flights over the USA while cruising at 500 kts. I get to watch the night sky rise at around 1300 mph and the stars come up quickly. Westbound flights the stars slow to 300 mph (going with the rotation) so you can look at the same object longer. Since my co-pilot is a captive audience he gets to hear me ramble on about the night sky. I presently fly the Airbus fleet so I guess I really am a "Bus" driver. The 5th row down is picture of me when I flew Boeing aircraft. Here are a few examples of my airborne observatories.

Since the dawn of time, people have needed to preserve their food. In the past, this process required a significant investment of time and energy, but it was much preferred to starving to death during the winter. Early methods of food preservation included drying, smoking, fermenting, and freezing the food. Later methods involved curing with salt or using acid to pickle the food. None of these methods were ideal, and the search for a quicker and more reliable method continued.
Enter canning.
Canning is the act of preserving cooked food by sealing it in jars or cans. The specific methods our ancestors used to can food are unknown, but it is a practice that has continued to be used for centuries.
Fortunately, the invention of the modern canner has made the canning process much simpler and less time consuming. In fact you can also buy an electric pressure canner now....just don't tell my grandmother :).

*Why only 2 canners? We feel that these are the best in class and highly recommend either model over anything else on the market.
In simple terms, a pressure canner can be defined as a device that is used for home preservation of food in jars. The process involves sealing food in jars, and the jars are then placed inside of the canner. Most canners are oversized, pressurized pots that raise the temperature of the food inside of the jars well above the boiling point for a specific period of time. Home pressure canning is generally conducted at 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
There are three primary things that using a pressure canner accomplishes:
1. The Removal of Oxygen. The canner removes any oxygen from inside of a can that could potentially spoil the food.
2. Heat Sterilization. Any bacteria that could affect the safety or integrity of the food is killed.
3. Sealing the jar. After the air is expelled from the jar, it creates a vacuum seal within the jar so that nothing can re-enter the newly created sterile environment inside of the jar.
Modern pressure canners are lightweight kettles with thin walls, and most feature turn-on lids that are outfitted with gaskets. Most modern canners have removable racks, an automatic vent and/or cover lock, a vent pipe, and a safety fuse.
Pressure canners also feature a dial gauge, which is used to indicate pressure, or a weighted gauge that is used to indicate and regulate pressure.
The average canner is deep enough to accommodate a single layer of quart jars or two layers of pint sized jars. According to the USDA, your canner should be large enough to hold a minimum of 4 quart jars in order to be classified as a canner. The USDA also urgently recommends that you only purchase a canner that has been marked with the Underwriter's Laboratory seal of approval in order to ensure the pressure canner's safety.
Initially the process of using a canner can seem intimidating, but if handled correctly, they are entirely safe to use. Each manufacturer will have their own precise steps for canning, but in general, the process goes something like this:
1. Four to eight quarts of water are added to the pressure canner. It is placed on the stove, and the heat setting is turned up to "high". You want to add enough water to ensure that the canner won't run out while it is boiling, but not enough to cover the canning jars.
2. The foods you are canning are heated and then placed in clean mason jars.
3. The rims of the mason jars are wiped clean. The lids are attached, and then the jars are placed in the water in the pressure canner.
4. The pressure canner's lid is secured and it is "brought up to pressure", which is lingo for saying that the water in the canner is brought to a rolling boil, and pressure within the pot begins to accumulate until it reaches a specific temperature. Your canner will tell you when it has reached this temperature point via its dial gauge.
5. The food is allowed to process for a predetermined period of time (which has to be adjusted depending on your altitude).
6. The heat is turned off, and the pressure canner is allowed plenty of time to cool off before you remove the lid and the canning jars.
7. The canning jars are allowed to cool for 24 to 36 hours before being stored in a pantry or cellar.
Investing the time into choosing the right pressure canner for your kitchen will make all of the difference in how your canning experience will go. Modern canners start at around $65.00 in price, but can go as high as $500.00. When determining the best pressure canner for your kitchen, there are 4 things you must take into consideration:
1. Size. The size of the canner you should buy will depend primarily on how many people you will be planning for. Most experts recommend that you buy a canner that is able to both pint and quart sized jars, because you do not want to limit yourself to pint size jars only. Pressure canner sizers are listed by quarts. For example, a canner with a max capacity of 21.5 quarts will be able to hold 7 quart jars or 19 pint jars. Make sure to look at how many jars the canner can hold to get the most accurate idea of size.
2. The Type of Stovetop You Have. If you have a stovetop made of glass, then you are limited to using canners that specifically state they are safe to use on glass top stoves. You will not able to use heavier canners.
Likewise, if you have an electric range stove, it will work well for canning; however, if you have a gas range, you must take care to ensure that you do not turn the heat up too high.
3. Price. An item's price is always important. Wait for sales. Depending on how much food you can, your canner can pay for itself in as little as a year. If you are a beginner canner and do not want to spend a lot of money, Presto pressure canners offer an excellent economical choice; however, if you only want to buy one canner during your lifetime, All American canners are the ones you want to consider. Manufactured in the United States, they are considered the premiere canner to own.
4. Maintenance. If you purchase a canner with a dial gauge, you will have to take the gauge over to your local county extension office once a year to have it checked. They will make sure that the dial is accurately displaying the correct PSI. On the other hand, a weighted gauge pressure canner does not require this. A weighted gauge is the unique control that hisses, jiggles, and rocks back and forth. It all comes down to how much time you're willing to invest in maintaining your canner.
Pressure canners are used to preserve food placed inside of jars, and they are required by law to be able to hold a minimum of 4 quart sized jars. As aforementioned, all canners feature a removable rack, a vent port, a vent cover lock, and a safety fuse. By comparison, pressure cookers or pressure saucepans are small, and they are not designed for processing food stuff in jars. Pressure cookers heat and cool faster than pressure canners do. Bottom line: pressure cookers are made for cooking – not canning.
It is a common misconception that the two can be used interchangeably, but the USDA and The National Center for Home Food Preservation strongly argue against doing so. Because pressure cookers heat up and cool down more quickly than pressure canners, the canned foods inside the cooker may be processed long enough to kill harmful microorganisms. Due to the thickness of the foods being canned and the different sizes of pressure cookers, it is simply impossible to safely adjust the times.
Perhaps you have thought about canning before, but you've told yourself "it's just not for me" or "it's not worth all of the effort". If that sounds familiar, then you may not be aware of all of the benefits that pressure canners have to offer. Here are some of the great things about them:
We sincerely hope that this guide will assist you in finding the perfect pressure canner for your family's needs. It is not meant to be an exhaustive guide, but rather a general aid to assist you in making an informed buying decision. We have avoided providing specific canner reviews in this discussion because we believe that it is important to understand what to look for in a canner, so that you can make your own decision. Doing so will help you find the perfect one for your kitchen. We do encourage you to read the individual pressure canner reviews we have on our site to make sure you are buying a quality product, but don't rely on ratings alone when making your decision. Happy canning!

On November 18th 1978, the religious settlement in Jonestown, Guyana was thrust in to the forefront of American culture. Led by enigmatic cult leader Jim Jones, the settlement was founded by Jones and his followers after a perceived "religious persecution" drove them from their domestic homeland. In 1976, Jones and the majority of his parish completed a mass migration that would leave the Jonestown settlement near 1000 members strong. Of course, such a mass concentration of American ex=pats was sure to catch the attention on the American government. In November of 1979 California congressman Leo Ryan visited the settlement, a visit that ended with tragic results.
When faced with an intrusion from the outside world, one that didn't blindly accept what Jones said, Jim Jones lost his fragile hold on his sanity. He ordered Ryan shot. Then he commanded his followers
to drink a mixture of Kool-Aid and cyanide (amongst other substances), which most of them did willfully. Jones himself refused to drink the drink and instead either was shot by a follower or shot himself to death in the groin. Collectively, the Jonestown Massacre resulted in 918 deaths. See, we seek to educate here at DreadWorld.
I go into depth because in order for you to understand the Ti West film The Sacrament, it's important to know the historical events that led to it's being. West essentially re-appropriates the events at Jonestown for modern audiences. He replaces Senator Ryan with a team of Brooklyn hipster internet reporters (A.J. Bowen ad Joe Swanberg) and a man (Ken Audley) looking for his sister (Amy Seimetz) who has joined up with West's fictional version of Jim Jones, Father (Gene Jones - no relation to Jim, I think). The events on the ground at the Eden Parrish colony parallel those a t Jonestown pretty accurately. Lead reporter Bowen gets and interview with father after which Bowen is satisfied but Father becomes paranoid, much like Senator Ryan and Jim Jones. And much like the actual happenings at Jonestown, when the reporters go to leave many of the parish members want to leave as well. There is a shooting at an airstrip as the outsiders prepare to leave, and in the end Father, like Jones, demands his followers swallow a lethal concoction, taking their own lives. Father then follows Jones' way out and shoots himself.
The Sacrament follows the Jonestown storyline pretty much beat by beat for the first three quarters of the film. While it's entertaining, it certainly is way too familiar to build any sort of tension based on the unknown. It's not until Father kills himself and Bowen and Swanberg (who are both excellent) are left to find their own escape that the film feels like a narrative exercise and not some History channel re-enactment. It's a shame that it takes so long to get to this point,a nd that after that point the film is almost over because it's really where you can see Wests talent and vision as a film maker.
West has crafted a career out of slow burn type of films. House of the Devil (review HERE) struck the perfect chord between creepy build and tremendous payoff. Wests follow up The Innkeepers (review HERE) held out on the payoff a bit too long for my liking but was still a very good haunted house (or hotel) film. The Sacrament throws off the slow burn shackles a bit and moves the story along pretty quickly, at least for a West film. So it may be a little more accessable to audiences than some of his previous work.
As I mentioned above, both Bowen and Swanberg are excellent. The are joined by fellow A Horrible Way to Die (Review HERE) alumni Amy Seimetz, and if you are going to crib a cast off a film, the cast of A Horrible Way to Die is certainly one of the better films to do that with. Bowen should be a star, he is tremendous in the film, keeping us attached as our voice, the outsiders looking in. Both Swanberg and Seimetz used all too briefly and you wish they would have had a bigger roles, especially Swanberg who pops out from behind his camera at short intervals until the last reel when he becomes a real part of the story.
The Sacrament is film that unfortunately, based on it's historical subject matter feels like something we've all seen before. It would have benefited the film had it not followed Jonestown beat by beat and shook things up a little earlier than the last reel. That being said, it's certainly worth a viewing and worthy entry into Ti Wests film cannon.
*** and a half stars out of *****
As always, thanks for reading and "Enjoy every sandwich"

In his gripping debut, author, Rick Moss offers us a fascinating , and very seductive premise –networking with a strong social agenda, connecting a world of strangers into close knit tribes , all part of a benevolent electronic uber-family. An arresting image midway through the book pretty much sums it all up– a stadium full of strangers perfectly coordinated in a dance programmed and fed into their minds by a giant virtual network . This is the 'Ebocloud', a vast community of cohesive groups, aiming to change the world with its ambitious socialist ideals and notions of family building. Mixing state of the art connectivity with ideas derived from tribal notions of family (specifically the peaceful and forward thinking Ebo tribe in the now-defunct state of Biafra), the Ebocloud quickly finds a vast and devoted following, spawning an energetic sub culture complete with its own jargon, gestures and tattoos. 'It's the antiFacebook', a character quips, and indeed that is what the Ebocloud seems like, replacing superficial 'friending' and self obsession with a system that awards altruism and community spirit, and seeks nothing more than the welfare of its believers . As for the dance, called Orchestrated Movement, it is an illustration of the next step in the cloud's evolution, where "ebocousins" across the country can literally plug their brains into the network, enabling the cloud to monitor their responses, track their movements and even influence their choices and actions.
Against this exciting backdrop runs the story of artist Ellison Luber, seeking answers to unexplained attacks that have destroyed his home, left his brother dead and caused his girlfriend, the mysterious Charlotte, to go into hiding. Nothing could be further from his reclusive life than the crush and bonhomie of the ebo , yet Luber finds himself drawn into its cheery embrace as he sets out to unravel the mystery that is Charlotte
Smell the Kool aid, the more cynical reader might observe, or wait for the inevitable onslaught of cloud- controlled zombie armies. For where there is the possibility of mind manipulation in science fiction, there is always, always evil genius plotting world domination. Right? Well yes, conflicted genius does make an appearance, as does an app that persuades a mob into an act of vandalism, if only to save a life. And no, for what Moss has in store for us is something more interesting than Frankencloud on rampage .
At the heart of this book is another intriguing one – The Venaries of Planet Flounce, a science fiction novel that enjoys a cult following and that, with a character clearly based on the elusive Charlotte, just might hold the key to Luber's puzzle . Based in an alternate world called Flounce, "Venaries.." tells the tale of a society run by mammoth corporates, and sharply divided into the breedums , privileged with a lifestyle that deems the use of one's hands sinful, and a huge menial class called the 'touchables' , doomed to a life of silent servility. The venaries are female 'touchables' , employed as maids by the breedums and , invariably, exploited and abused. Change – preceded by a particularly violent civil war - sweeps in thanks to one breedum, the ambitious reformist Aniston Penchast, aided by his shrewd venary , Lotte Char (equal parts pawn and player, in a role reminiscent of the clone Sonmi in David Mitchell's 'Cloud Atlas').
Ebocloud has a brisk, edgy pace that keeps you hooked to the plot, as it alternates smoothly between Luber's story and Flounce's. Author Moss displays a considerable talent for world building, designing both Flounce and the Ebocloud with impressive detail. Cloud it may be, but nebulous it isn't – Moss gives us a technical scenario that is well researched and believable, and Flounce is a tumultuous world I expect lots of his readers will want to visit again.
Given how much I enjoyed the story and its progression right up to its climax, I must confess to a little disappointment with the way things work out - a rather morally conflicted resolution that seems to condone the loss of a few for the greater good . While a character does attempt to explain it away as not succumbing to 'American-style moral superiority', this sentiment seems closer to the Tao of the breedum, than anything Ebo. In every other respect, Ebocloud is a thought provoking and exciting book that I would recommend to anyone interested in speculative fiction.

Without giving too much about this headphone piece of writing, but I thought it exciting and appropriate to what I�m currently doing.
Hello and welcome to the modern group of responses to the headphone inquiries. Ever desired to know about something headset, earphone or receiver related? Now's your opportunity. Due to a great deal of inquiries we are so regularly asked, you'll find we've dipped into our mailbox and picked up the 9 most significant (and most often submitted) questions. Enjoy.
Oh, by the way, in case your inquiry isn't here, then merely mail us an communication and come back in a few… you may see it featured within the later series. Cheers.
You'll find we've talked a lot regarding �going wireless� together on the site itself and on that FAQ part, but what does that really denote?
We exist in an era at odds with itself. On the one hand, the depression demands when we be miserly penny pinchers of the highest order, yet conversely, there may be more top range tech on offer currently than at any other point in history. Our mission, then, as the leading customer tech blog, is to protect your wallet by making certain that merely the best products gain our seal of approval. If we tried to con you into spending your hard-earned on any old rubbish, there�s a possibility you may buy it, and you�d never come back, you�d warn others never to and slowly, like a anarchy butterfly flapping its wings, the fractal ripples of volatility would spread out across the Internet and rob our website of any/all potential consumers. So we don�t wish to do this. Ergo, we only advocate the very best, both regarding show and value.
The truth about wireless headphones is that they're an progressive and high functioning product basically right across the board. The overwhelming If you have any type of concerns concerning where and ways to make use of walkie Talkie Earpieces, you could contact us at our own page. majority of them are created to a good degree indeed. The purchaser reviews, over a variety of sites, are commonly good, even from the most difficult of nitpickers, so its safe to say that wireless headsets are the way forward.
Obviously, it is also real that wireless headsets will set you back a whole lot of money. And, in case you�re gonna buy a collection, you will want mid range at the very least, to actually get the most out of your purchase. This presents an issue but it�s clearly an issue that many of you are having since we have received a great deal of post about it.
As always, the answer lies within the question. Wireless headphones aren�t likely to switch traditional headsets just yet and even if they do, we�re not taking a look at a tech that will make your old headsets obsolete. This is, in the interim, a conflicting type of technology favoured for its user friendliness and simplicity. Having no wires to trip over simply makes your time easier.
Now, in case you�re planning on exercising or doing any form of demanding activity that you want to involve headsets in, you will categorically find wireless headsets to be worth the price, but if you�re only planning on upgrading your gaming headphone or your regular headphones and aren�t sure about the extra expense, you can save it for now. Depend on us. Wireless headphones make your life easier, they work like a charm, in reality, but when you do not ought to buy one and can�t spare the fare, then our guidance should be to keep your wallet safely in your pouch.

In the back of the copy of CARNACKI which I have (Holden & Hardingham, 1921), there are four pages of ads for Hodgson's other books. This was not an unusual practice particularly among the more 'inexpensive' publishers. They thought, probably quite correctly, that "if you bought this book by this author, you might like these other books by them as well". I'm not certain exactly when this policy became unpopular but it does give us a nice glimpse into how Hodgson's books were advertised to the public.
This first page shows ads for two books: THE CALLING OF THE SEA and THE LUCK OF THE STRONG. Now, what is unusual here is the fact that THE CALLING OF THE SEA was not published by Holden & Hardingham but by Selwyn & Blount. I am a bit perplexed why they would advertise another publisher's book especially on the very first page of ads! I wonder if perhaps H&H owned Selwyn & Blount considering that they also shared the same address? Notice also, the misspelling of the title of THE CALLING OF THE SEA!
The ad is reproduced below, followed by my transcription.

Mr. Hope Hodgson, whose short stories of the sea won for him a wide popularity, spent eight years at sea. He was living in the South of France when war broke out, but joined up, obtained a commission in 1915, and was killed in action in April, 1918. His poems are now collected for the first time and reveal a side to his character which will be new to his readers.

Carlito Brigante is an eponymous character and the antihero of Carlito's Way and After Hours, novels by Edwin Torres.[1] Torres has stated that Brigante was a combination of several men he knew in his street days, as well as a compilation of several of his own personal characteristics.[citation needed]
Character biography[edit]
Born in 1930 in Spanish Harlem, his parents were Puerto Ricans with his father being of Corsican ancestry. His father abandoned his family and returned to Puerto Rico while his mother, a fervent Pentecostal convert, died during Carlito's early teenage years. Carlito starts out as a small-time thief, eventually working his way up to being the heroin kingpin of the neighborhood. Around 1970, Brigante (at the age of 40) is arrested during a drug bust and is sentenced to 30 years in prison. This marks the end of the novel, Carlito's Way. After Hours, which is the source for the film version of Carlito's Way, begins with Brigante beating his prison sentence thanks to his lawyer David Kleinfeld. During After Hours, Carlito tries to leave his life of crime behind and retire in the Bahamas with his girlfriend Gail. Circumstances conspire against him when Carlito innocuously accompanies his young cousin to a drug trade which quickly goes awry. Carlito is forced to shoot his way out and kill the dealers to escape.
Kleinfeld asks Carlito to take control of a nightclub mismanaged by Saso (played by Jorge Porcel). It is at the club that Carlito is introduced to Benny Blanco ("from the Bronx"), a young up-and-comer in the drug trade who believes to be a young Carlito Brigante, which angers Carlito. An old friend named Lalin visits Carlito at the club, but is discovered to be wearing a wire, revealing the District Attorney still hasn't forgotten about Carlito.
Carlito crosses paths with Benny again when Kleinfeld finds a love interest in a waitress at the club named Stephie. Benny, who instead wishes Stephie to join him, and angered at Carlito's rejections for champagne, confronts Carlito at their table, with his henchmen and proceeds to manhandle Stephie. Carlito is forced to take action when Kleinfeld, under the influence of cocaine, snaps and pulls a gun. Blanco's henchmen draw weapons but are dealt with by the bouncers. Carlito threatens to kill Benny if he comes to the club again. Benny promises to kill Carlito if he ever sees him again. A furious Carlito knocks Benny down a staircase. The young gangster takes a severe beating at the hands of Pachanga and a bouncer from the club in the back alley until Carlito tells Pachanga to "let him go", subsequently realizing that he has made a fatal mistake sparing Blanco's life.
While visiting his client, Tony Taglialucci, the imprisoned mobster angrily accuses Kleinfeld of stealing one million dollars from him and threatens his life if Kleinfeld doesn't break him out of Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center. Kleinfeld solicits Carlito's assistance by pressuring him with notion that he was responsible for Carlito's early release from prison. One of Tony's sons named Frank "Frankie" Taglialucci accompanies Carlito and Kleinfeld in a boat readied for Tony's escape. Kleinfeld instead proceeds to kill Tony T. and his son, while Carlito painfully watches realizing that mob retribution is guaranteed. Carlito recognizes that Gail was correct in her judgment of Kleinfeld, along with his own premonitions. Soon thereafter Kleinfeld is stabbed outside an elevator in his office building. Carlito is escorted, along with Gail to District Attorney Norwalk's office. Norwalk plays a tape of Kleinfeld agreeing to testify against Carlito. Carlito personally visits him in the hospital to learn the truth. Kleinfeld admits betrayal in order to save himself. Carlito unloads Kleinfeld's gun without his recognition. He also notices a suspicious policeman, who subsequently turns out to be Tony's other son, Vincent "Vinnie" Taglialucci, come to avenge his father and brother's death in disguise. Vinnie shoots Kleinfled fatally in the head, as Kleinfeld draws his empty chambered gun.
Carlito realizes that he must swiftly leave with Gail and his accumulated club profits to the Bahamas earlier than expected. Carlito rushes to the club to claim his money and notifies Pachanga to have Gail meet him at the train station. Carlito's quick exit is halted by Pete Amadesso, Johnny Manzanero, and Joe Battaglia, a posse of Italian gangsters that were involved in the drug business before Carlito was arrested. Vinnie arrives at Carlito's club to join the other Italians and makes a comment about the lawyer. Carlito puts on a ruse, claiming he hasn't seen Kleinfeld lately. The mobsters recognize he's involved, and after Carlito gathers his money and escapes, they pursue him into a subway station. Carlito kills all of the mobsters except Vinnie, who is fatally injured and finished off by the police. As Carlito approaches Gail and the awaiting train out of town, he is ambushed. Carlito spots a man in sunglasses, an arm-sling, and a fedora, but it is too late to realize who the man is. "Hey, remember me? Benny Blanco from the Bronx?" proclaims Benny as he shoots Carlito three times in the abdomen with a hidden, silenced pistol. Pachanga admits he betrayed Carlito to Benny so as to look out for his own future. Benny proceeds to shoot and kill Pachanga as well and runs off. Brigante fades in and out of consciousness as he peers at a subway advertisement titled "Escape to Paradise".
Film portrayal[edit]
Brigante has been portrayed by two different actors, by Al Pacino in the 1993 film Carlito's Way,[1] and by Jay Hernandez in the prequel Carlito's Way: Rise to Power.[2]

Age: 25
Graduation Date: 2013
Major: Industrial and Organizational Psychology
School: Eastern Kentucky University
Current Position: HR Generalist
Q: What was your biggest fear about leaving college and entering the "real world"?
The simple fact that I began looking for jobs five months before graduation, and had received nothing but "you don't have enough real world experience," or "you're too educated!"
I feared I would have to settle into a job, instead of a career.
Q: What five words would you use to explain your job search as a recent grad?
Taxing, Frustrating, Hopeful, Humbling, Worthwhile.
Q: What is it about your situation now that makes you a happy grad?
After I spent months refining my skill set, interview techniques, resume, and cover letter, I finally saw results. I was getting interviews and call backs. I was then offered a position doing exactly what I wanted – being directly involved in hiring the right people for the right place. I now spend my days helping others find the best job for them, or offering them advice in the job hunt.
From my after-grad experiences, I am able to relate and empathize with applicants, and it has impacted me more than I could ever imagine! I am a happy grad because that "light at the end of the tunnel," was worth every obstacle that was put in my path.
Q: What are the best things about your current role?
I am able to apply my education to my job everyday, as well as learn constantly. The over all best part of my job, is that I am able to offer applicants all the things I wished recruiters gave me during my search. I have met some truly amazing people in both my search to find a job, as well as helping others find theirs.
Q: What advice would you give recent grads today about leaving college, and finding a career and life they love?
Do not stop trying. You will have days that you just want to give up, or settle for less then what you deserve, but don't. Instead keep channeling that energy, because one day you'll land that perfect fit. When that day comes, it makes every other aspect of your life seem that much sweeter.
If you can take one thing away from me, take away the idea that dedicating yourself to a goal is the most important part of the process. Do not go into the job search with no idea which direction you want to take. Set yourself a goal, and don't stop until you've achieved it!
Q. What are some of the best things about being a recent grad?
The real world is much more fresh then school! Gone are the sleepless nights and countless papers. That's now replaced with moments where you can apply that knowledge to the real world. I love being able to learn from my peers, as well as teach them new things everyday. Every single day of my job fulfills me, even the days where its stressful!

Parts I, II, III, and IV. The original article. On to Part V:
In summary, the American political tradition arose from several elements mixed together over three or four centuries-Puritanism, English common law, classical republicanism, gentleman statesmanship, God-given natural rights, and the Madisonian constitutional republic. In large measure, the history of the American way of life consists in the playing out of these various traditions, with one or another predominating at different periods.
Over the long term, however, the natural rights principles of the Declaration of Independence have become the dominant tradition. Whether that predominance is for good or for ill is a matter of heated debate. While some scholars like Michael Zuckert and Thomas West think that it is a moral triumph, and others think it creates moral problems (I include· myself in this latter group), one cannot deny the correctness of Zuckert's historical analysis demonstrating the dominance of natural rights over the other traditions, creating a hegemonic Natural Rights Republic. Zuckert's proof is simple, but powerful: All of the other traditions have absorbed natural rights principles (often unaware) and have been transformed and overpowered by them.
For example, the Puritans of colonial America, who began as staunch theocrats led by "visible Saints," gradually incorporated natural rights-social contract language and principles into their political theology. By 1744, a minister such as Elisha Williams could write a lengthy pamphlet on "The Essential Rights and Liberties of Protestants" in which he simply equates the Protestant idea of sola scriptura with Locke's right of conscience, affirming "a Christian's natural and unalienable right of private judgment in matters of religion." In similar fashion, William Blackstone's new codification of the English common law in his Commentaries on the Laws of England, which appeared in four volumes from 1765 and 1769, incorporated Lockean ideas into a common law framework. Blackstone defended traditional powers of king-in-parliament (the sovereign legislative power) and the protection of the "absolute rights" of individuals. Following along the same lines, the American founding fathers, who were quasi-aristocratic gentlemen politicians in their personal lives, dedicated themselves to regime principles based on natural rights and republicanism, rather than on aristocratic exclusivity ("the aristocrat as democrat" is how the American historian Richard Hofstadter describes Thomas Jefferson, with both accuracy and irony). Similarly, the opponents of the U.S. Constitution, the anti-Federalists, used the rhetoric of classical republicanism to state their case, appealing to the small, virtuous, participatory republics of the ancient world against the idea of the large, more centralized republic of the Federalists. Yet, the anti-Federalists finally settled on the promise of a Bill of Rights attached to the Constitution as the price of their support, indicating that their highest priority was the protection of rights.
One may therefore conclude that the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution together ·produced the natural rights republic; and this combination of ideas has predominated over the other strands of the American political tradition (although the Lockean conception of natural rights was transformed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by statesmen such as Abraham Lincoln and by modern, mainly German, philosophy into the neo-Kantian human rights of present-day America).Note above that Dr. Kraynak told us he and others think that America's natural rights republic "creates moral problems." One of the most notable "others" includes Professor Patrick Deneen who has a new book out that touches the matter entitled, "Why Liberalism Failed." The book caught the attention of President Obama who said, "I don't agree with most of the author's conclusions, but the book offers cogent insights into the loss of meaning and community that many in the West feel, issues that liberal democracies ignore at their own peril." Likewise I don't fully share Dr. Deneen's worldview or prescriptions, but agree the book contains valuable insights.

Hi guys,
So this week I had the amazing opportunity to meet the inspirational Lilly Singh at her Bawse book tour event in London.
Although Lilly didn't give a "show", she gave a talk based upon some of the topics she covers in her book, which was amazing. She is truly an inspirational person and you can see she puts passion into everything she does.
I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to meet her in person. I have watched her YouTube videos for just over a year, and it's great to see someone who tries to put positivity in everything she does, and, where possible, change the world around her like her Girl Love campaign and her work with We Charity in Kenya.
It's safe to say I had a true fangirl moment when I had a picture taken with her.
That's all for now, so, until next time, bye!
P.S.: Granada post coming soon…

We were in and out before we were even supposed to be seen at Cook Children's Urgent Care in Mansfield (They take you by appointment only now). Thank you to Bumps N' Bruises for figuring what was wrong so quickly.
Lana O.
We had a great 1st experience at Bumps N' Bruises. We were seen very quickly after arriving & our child was entertained by the amazing staff during our wait. The medical staff was friendly, attentive, helpful, and informative. We will definitely go back for all our urgent care needs!
Ashley W.
We had a great experience on our first visit. The staff was friendly and helpful and made sure we were taken care of quickly. I was impressed and will definitely be back again. I had a hard time getting my son to leave because he was enjoying the toys in the waiting area so much!
Traci F.

We definitely recommend Bumps N' Bruises! Both times we have brought Ryder in, we have been impressed - the office is clean and all of the staff are so nice. They also get us in and out quickly. Dr. Martinez even called us the next evening to check on our son! Thank you so much!!!!! We appreciate being able to take our son somewhere focused on pediatrics when our regular office is closed! Thank you Dr. Martinez for taking the time to call and check on our son, it means so much.
Amanda W.
I have visited Bumps N' Bruises three times with my boys. All three times, we were seen quickly, with very little wait. All of the staff is very friendly, and made my boys feel very comfortable. I am so thankful there is an after-hours clinic that specializes in caring for children. We love Bumps N' Bruises!
Kristin A.
This is an amazing center! The waiting room is set up to keep your children entertained with toys and even movies playing, and more than enough seating for adults. And, the wait was not long at all! I arrived and there were four or five other people already waiting in the waiting room. Once I was called back they took his vitals and took me to the room. Within two minutes, the doctor was in to see him and we were out. The whole process was less than an hour! They are so friendly and very efficient at what they do! I only wish I could use them as my son's primary pediatrician.
