You might remember EDGE developer Mobigame from its legal troubles with Tim Langdell over the title of their iPhone game. Mercifully, after a year of court cases, the independent developer was able to put EDGE back onto the iPhone market early last year.
Now the game is out on Steam for both PC and Mac, but how well does it translate from the iPhone to your desktop?
EDGE (PC [reviewed], Mac)
Developer: Mobigame
Publisher: Two Tribes
Released: August 11th, 2011
EDGE is a combination of puzzles, platforming and time attack styles of gameplay. You control a flashing cube from an isometric viewpoint made up of other cubes which will form platforms and ledges. The object is to get from the start to the end of the level as fast a possible; you're given a ranking at the end depending on your finish time and a running total of how often you fell off an edge.
Collecting smaller cubes or "prisms" will speed your cube up and are invaluable in improving your rank. You can also gain a few seconds of time by moving your cube to a ledge and slowly moving up. You'll gain time by balancing your cube on a ledge, so this tactic can gain you precious seconds as you make your way to the finish. Sounds simple enough.
But therein lies the challenge. Getting one of the two top ranks possible -- either an S or S+ rank -- requires picking up all the prisms in a level, which can be fairly well hidden. Thankfully, there's a mini map in the top left-hand corner that displays where the prisms are but also shows hidden paths obscured by the game's isometric viewpoint. The map is great at showing you routes that are hidden by the game's angles, but doesn't do a good job at showing paths that are obscured by a roof or overhanging platform.
The big strength of EDGE is that there's new mechanics and gameplay features introduced in almost every level. The game initially looks like it's simply about getting your block from the start to the end of the level but once it starts introducing a variety of moving platforms and ways to activate them.
In one mission, a group of blocks formed into a robot and thrust me forward to the end of the level. In the next, I was chased along a narrow path by a malevolent column. EDGE continues mixing up its level design but there's a very natural learning curve. There are some handy "?" markers that will give you a brief demo of what you're expected to do at a specific section before letting you have a go yourself. Generous checkpoints mean that failure to proceed is going to affect your ranking but won't adversely affect your ability to ultimately finish the level.
My only frustrations with the game came from a few cases where I respawned at the same point I kept dying at. I had to restart the level (this problem appears to have been patched). The other problem I had was that it wasn't made clear that the mini-cube power-up allows you to climb up walls. It was only on maybe my third or fourth attempt that I realized I could climb up a sheer-face and that's because it was my only option.
Other niggles come from the controls; I used a keyboard but often I felt the weight of the cube's rotation was causing me to miss platforms and ledges even though I wasn't wanting to move that much. Also, it would be good if there was a fly-by or large map showing you the whole level to give you an idea of how long it is. There were a few times I got lost in the later levels because I had no idea where the exit was. These are small issues though, as I said earlier EDGE's checkpoints allay a lot of frustration.
Even when I failed part of the level and died repeatedly, I never rage quit and with me that's quite an achievement. That's not to say there's not challenge here; I finished some of the later levels with times approaching 15 minutes and a D ranking. Getting those upper rankings is quite a challenge.
The tag "platformer" doesn't quite fit EDGE, but neither is it a full-on puzzle game. You're not often required to make pixel-perfect jumps and leaps, but you'll need to think and react quickly to make it through levels efficiently. Likewise, there's very little traditional puzzle elements in EDGE, aside from a few button-sequence puzzles, but you will need some smarts and lateral thinking to figure out how to get past some parts of the game.
EDGE is a great pick-up-and-play title; the controls are simple and levels can be completed in a couple of minutes, but the desire to improve my ranking kept me coming back for more.

Impressive effort with a few noticeable problems holding it back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

The X Man is One
X was up at 5:30 this morning.
Which was 15 minutes after he was born, exactly a year ago today.
Happy Birthday, Baby X.
Can I still call you Baby?
Now that I'm sitting down to write this, I find it's actually kinda tough to sum up an entire year. There's just so much. And I'm trying not to think about how this is it. I will never again have a smushy little creature to love. Unless it has fur and a tail.
If you'd like to read all about my amazing home birth, click here. It's my story that ran on the front page of the newspaper. Pictures are pretty cool, too.
X was a surprise baby. As in, SURPRISE! YOU'RE PREGNANT!
But he's also been a Surprise Baby. As in, he has amazed me over and over. Not just by being him, but by what he's taught me:
That his firsts are just as thrilling as they were for the other two kids: First smile, first tooth, first roll over, first sit, first solid food, first crawl, first word (dada, of course), first step, first run (which really isn't a RUN but a fast-moving drunken reel across the room).
That giving up dairy, soy and wheat for an entire year in order to nurse him was completely worth it, that I finally really *get* why women love to nurse, that I cherish the quiet time he and I share because of it, and that I know I won't think it's funny when he starts lifting up my shirt in public.
That there really is no greater feeling in the world then snuggling a baby, even before they can snuggle back. And I will miss the way his little fist always wraps around the back of my arm when he gets to big to fit on my hip.
That the light in his eyes and big toothy grin when he sees me is the most precious gift of all, to know the love you've given is being returned - even if you are not the perfect mom.
That in three tries, I still don't have a child who looks anything like me (darn those Korean genes!).
That there is nothing quite like watching the bigger kids hug all over the little one, that your eldest has gotten into his bed and cried after accidentally giving his baby bro his first fat, bloody lip, that the neighbor kids have adopted him as their own, too, and now your baby has no fear of walking up to a group of kids he doesn't know and hanging out with them.
That the "3 second rule" now is the "he can have it if the dogs don't get it first rule." That the baby gate is still in the garage instead of at the bottom of the stairs, and that he can make it up three steps before I notice and get him back down, and I'm not completely freaked out.
That baby belly laughs? Still the best sound. On the planet.
That it's okay that he is chasing Daddy now, because it was All About Mommy for an entire year. I can share.
That he was blessed with Sawyer's generally cheerful nature and Sage's "tenacity."
That I didn't think either of us would make it past his three months of colic, that I feel for every mother who has ever had to deal with an inconsolable baby, day after day after day, but that it WILL pass. And you will finally get to see a happy little person emerge.
Most important, that your heart always has room for just one more.
Happy, happy birthday, Xander. I can't imagine a world without your smile. Thank you for making our family complete.

Cheryl, You just made me cry. Another beautiful post. Happy Birthday Xander.
- Cheryl said...
Thanks, Lucy and Julie! I am REALLY trying not to think about how this phase of my life is OVER. No more baby!
- Simply Lovely Gifts said...
Love this, especially that video of him laughing - still makes me smile :-) Happy Birthday Xander!!!
- Natalie at Mommy on Fire said...
Oh my - another beautiful, moving post. What a gorgeous family you have, Cheryl! My baby is now 20 months and he is also our last. I can relate on so many levels.
My middle guy is actually named Samuel. I use pseudonyms online though I'm not sure it matters much (weirdos could probably still find us). I love the name Sawyer though and that's why I chose it for my blog - I almost named him this.
I wrote about Layla Grace today and linked like crazy back to your beautiful tribute. I hope you enjoy!
- Cheryl said...
Thanks Leslie! I still love watching that video, too!
Natalie - You are so kind! And DOH about the name - didn't know it was a pseudonym! It is a great name - good choice! ;) Thanks so much for all the linking love. I commented over on your blog.
- Jen said...
What a wonderful post! Happy Birthday Xander!
- Maria @BOREDmommy said...
What a sweet post for a darling boy. Happy Birthday to your little man!
- Carrie said...
Happy Birthday to Baby X! What a wonderful post and a great memory for him when he is old enough to appreciate it.

With 69 bands playing at a variety of the Bay Area's "dirtiest dives" spread out over three long weekends, this year's loud, rude, and fun Total Trash Fest 3, which is described by organizers as "the ultimate celebration of trash culture in rock and roll music," sadly comes to an end this weekend with some high energy, kick ass shows at both Thee Parkside and The Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco. Expect sets from such talented trash acts as Chicago duo White Mystery (pictured above), featuring Miss Alex White and Francis Scott Key White who headline tonight's (Thursday, August 25th) triple threat at the Hemlock along with Burnt Ones and Mrs Magician.
Tomorrow (Friday, August 26th) at Thee Parkside is the part one of this weekend's two-night Trash Fest with Traditional Fools, Outdoorsmen, Uzi Rash, The Shrouds, plus DJ Pops. Then Saturday night (August 27th, same venue) is a truly amazing lineup (get there early if you go - even before the 9pm start time) with The Dukes of Hamburg, The Legendary Stardust Cowboy, Rock N Roll Adventure Kids, Daddy Long Legs, The Shankers, plus DJs Stickerguy Dave and The Vinyl Avenger. Admission for each Parkside show is $10.
The Dukes of Hamburg "Monkey, Monkey"
Sunday night (the final night of the fest) it's back to the Hemlock on Polk Street for two shows: a daytime show that starts at 2pm sharp with The Moonhearts, Pangea, King Lollipop, and Si Si Si (and all for just $7!), and the evening show (also $7 with an early start of 8:30pm) featuring Mikal Cronin, Mouthbreathers, and Cosmonauts.

Selectmen Bob Srnec, Tom Gray and Bob Bridges were in attendance and so were Tony Mincu, Nick Marique, Pat Smith, Gail Pennell, Betsy Baker, Mike Beaulieu, Bob Carrier, Robbie Parsons and Larry Brown.
Chairman Srnec acknowledged the passing of Raymond Marcoux and Richard Lindsey with a moment of silence.
Betsey Baker noted that the selectmen's agenda was not posted on the website. It was reported that the agenda had been posted in two other places so the meeting was properly posted.
Gail Pennell inquired if the notice she recently received regarding an additional $1 fee for each vehicle registration is something that must be paid. It was noted that the additional fee is to cover cost of mailing the notice of upcoming registration. Pennell stated that this is a service that she does not want. She wanted to know if there is a way to opt-out of this service as people are on a budget and everything is going up in the way of costs. Selectman Bridges asked to have Town Clerk Michelle Beaucahmp attend the next board meeting to discuss a possible opt-out for this service.
Correspondent's note: I have learned that at the October 15 selectmen's meeting the board decided that residents would have the option to opt-out, by going to the town's clerk's office and filling out a form to opt-out of this service. Fire Chief Nick Marique stated that with Pat Simmons leaving the department he will be looking for someone to fill the position. The board chairman said this will be taken up at a later date.
After discussion, the board gave approval for the fire department to purchase a new defibrillator at a cost of $30,564.
PWD Pat Smith presented an offer from David Paey for tractor and bush cutter in the amount of $12,000. The board agreed to the Ford tractor, the Bumford boom mower and roadside mower with payment terms to be decided at a later date.
It was agreed that Police Officer Marc Cilley would be employee of the month for September.
There was some discussion regarding setting the tax rate. It is expected that the tax rate will be set by November 1.
Recreation Commissioners Lue Snyder, Bob Bridges, Jen Duprat and Chris Jacobs were in attendance at the recent meeting as was Director Karen Brown.
There was much discussion regarding a proposed playground at the town's beach. The general consensus of the commissioners was that they would like to move forward with plans for a playground and solicit input from parents and children on what they would like to see in terms of equipment. A poll will be taken on General Election day as to what people would like to see as far as equipment is concerned.
It was agreed to donate a $25 beach pass with stipulation (that it be used only by Milton residents) to the Milton Learning Center for their annual Penney sale.
Senior Citizen Bingo will be held on Sunday, October 28 beginning at 1 pm. Doors open at 11:45 am. A luncheon of steamed hot dogs, chips, cookies and soda will be available for a small donation. State law requires that players must be 60 years or older.
Milton residents can opt out of extra $1 vehicle registration fee
Selectmen Bob Srnec, Tom Gray and Bob Bridges were in attendance and so were Tony Mincu, Nick Marique, Pat Smith, Gail Pennell, Betsy Baker, Mike Beaulieu, Bob Carrier, Robbie Parsons and Larry Brown.

Mother loses 2nd child in bonfire accident
Linda Hodgman's daughter killed in 2007
A mother is dealing with the death of a child for the second time after one of her sons died after a bonfire accident.
Daniel Hewey, 20, died from his injuries after he was burned Saturday night. According to reports, Hewey was severely burned after using gasoline to light a brush pile.
Linda Hodgman, of Webster, received news that Hewey died from his injuries on her way to a Boston hospital early Sunday morning.
Hodgman said her oldest daughter was killed in 2007 by her ex-boyfriend, Jacob Smith, who also killed himself. According to Hodgman, that incident happened outside a friend's home in Boscawen.
"I have never healed from my first tragedy," she said.
A 17-year-old girl was also burned in the Saturday night fire. She was taken to the hospital to be treated for her injures and was released Monday evening.

If your best friend was running for vice president, would you vote for her? Sarah Palin's BFFs aren't so sure. In the clip above, Good Morning America sits down with Sarah Palin's best friends of 15 years, a group of Alaska moms who call themselves the "Elite 6." Though one of the friends was inexplicably absent, three of the four women said they are pro-choice and only one is committed to voting for the Republican ticket in November. Is it a bad sign when you're polling better among strangers than the women with whom you've shared so many skinny white chocolate mochas?

Cooler spring didn't stop weed flushes — only delayed them
Writer: Robert Burns, 903-834-6191, email@example.com
COLLEGE STATION – Farmers and ranchers who passed on controlling slow-growing weeds this spring may now have reason for regret, said a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service expert.
"If you're standing out in your hay meadow or pasture and wish you had another inch of rain, that inch of rain may have been that which was sacrificed to early season weed issues," said Dr. Paul Baumann, AgriLife Extension state weed specialist, College Station.
The cooler-than-usual spring slowed the growth of weeds and warm-season grasses alike, and many producers may have put off spraying or shredding weeds, Baumann said. But now that the drought is re-strengthening in nearly all of Texas, many weeds species are coming back with a vengeance, robbing improved pasture grasses of moisture and nutrients.
Weeds that always pose early season competition for improved forage grass areas of Texas include annual broomweed, wooly croton, goat weed, bitter sneezeweed and a number of other annual weeds, he said.
Many perennial weeds that flourish during a drought are troublesome but usually don't pose as much as a challenge to improved pastures as the annuals, according to Baumann.
"For the perennials, we're talking about silverleaf nightshade, dog fennel, horse nettle, Texas bull nettle and weeds like that," he said. "They flourish because they have a well-developed, deeper root system that makes them less prone to moisture deficiency, particularly in the lower soil profile."

But the early season annuals like goat weed, dove weed or wooly croton have shallower root systems that vie for the same shallow soil moisture that Bermuda grass and other improved pastures are trying to capture, he said.
For producers who did not do any early season weed control and are now seeing a flush of annual weeds in their pastures, Baumann recommended waiting until a good rain before doing anything.
"For the weeds that are still out there that are less than 6 to 8 inches tall, wait until you get a little bit of rain on them before spraying because they are going to be less susceptible to herbicide if they are moisture stressed," he said.
Leaving weeds uncontrolled, even if there is not much grass growth, is not a good choice, Baumann said. This is because they are going to continue to compete for moisture during a very stressful time of year, as well as eventually deposit a seed load that will last for years to come.
Also, if there is a mid-season rain, the weeds will spring back to life and compete with pasture grasses at a very critical time of year, he said.
More information on the current Texas drought and wildfire alerts can be found on the AgriLife Extension Agricultural Drought Task Force website at http://agrilife.tamu.edu/drought/ .
AgriLife Extension district reporters compiled the following summaries for the week of July 1-7:
Central: The region was starting to dry up, with crops showing visible signs of drought stress. The corn silage harvest began. There were reports of prussic acid poisoning in cattle from johnsongrass and sorghum. Some mornings were unseasonably cool. Grasshoppers were unbelievably bad.
Coastal Bend: Recent rains greened up some areas, but came too late for many crops. Soils were dry again. The grain sorghum harvest was underway with less than average yields reported. Many fields did not make a crop. The corn harvest began. Soybeans made a good pod set but needed rain soon. Grasshopper populations were high in some areas. Ponds were very low or dry in many areas. There were reports of cattle deaths due to toxic pond water conditions. Fish deaths due to low pond levels were also reported. Pecan yields were down from last year.
East: All counties showed signs of drought. High heat dried out soils, sharply reducing plant vigor. Pasture grasses were stressed with very slow regrowth. Grasshoppers were becoming an increasingly persistent problem. Some pond levels were as low as they were during the 2011 drought, and many creeks have stopped running. Hay sales were very slow. Cooler temperatures during the week allowed more vegetables to be harvested from gardens and sold at local markets. Cattle remained in good condition. Feral hog damage was reported.
Far West: Showers early in the reporting period yielded from a trace to 1.5 inches of rain. Daytime highs were in the mid to upper 70s the first part of week but later rose into the 90s. Dryland cotton farmers were working with crop-insurance adjusters. Most dryland cotton will be zeroed out this year, but irrigated cotton was doing well. Livestock producers were providing supplemental feed and hoping for rain.
North: Soil moisture was very short to adequate, and some counties were in desperate need of rain. Where there were rains earlier, Bermuda grass pastures were doing well, and some hay meadows were almost ready for a second cutting to be taken. Hay supplies remained very good. Sunflowers were in very good condition. The oat harvest was completed. Peanuts were in poor condition. Most wheat was harvested with reports of above-average yields. Grain sorghum was in good condition with all of the crop headed out and turning color. Corn was developing well, and cotton looked good. Livestock across the region were in good condition, with early spring-born calves heavy and being weaned. Pond levels were falling. Grasshopper pressure continued as the population increased.
Panhandle: Temperatures were below normal with a few scattered showers. Soil moisture continued to be rated mostly short to very short. The wheat harvest wound down. Corn was rapidly growing with the heat, and some fields were tasseling, though many were 10 days away from tasseling. Grain sorghum was behind in development, with plants 10-12 inches tall. Cotton was struggling, with many fields still not yet squaring.
Rolling Plains: After a week of below-normal temperatures, hot, dry, windy weather returned. All cotton stands were planted and becoming established, but rain was needed for crop development to proceed. Warm-season grasses on native ranges also needed moisture. Earlier rains in some counties replenished pastures and water tanks, but the dry weather reminded everyone that the region was still under drought conditions. Producers were chiseling wheat stubble fields where they could and trying to keep weeds under control. Area ponds and lakes were still in desperate need of runoff. Grasshoppers continued to be a nuisance.
South: There was very little rain received, with only a few counties reporting light showers. Willacy County was the exception with 0.25 to 1 inch received. Highs of 100 degrees and above continued to be recorded throughout the region, causing soil moisture levels to decline. Soil moisture levels were mostly short to adequate throughout the region, except adequate levels in Atascosa, Dimmit, Maverick and Cameron counties. Rangeland and pastures remained in fair shape, but forage quality deteriorated due to drought stress. Livestock producers continued providing supplemental feed to cattle. In Atascosa County, crops were doing well with some hay harvesting being done. In Frio County, peanut planting was completed, corn and sorghum were maturing, and irrigation increased. In Zavala County, cotton, corn, sorghum and guar progressed well with minor insect pressure. Also in that county, the cabbage harvest resumed, while watermelon and cantaloupe harvesting was ongoing. In Cameron County, the harvesting of grain sorghum halted and the corn harvest continued. In Starr County, hay baling continued, and producers were preparing to harvest cotton.
South Plains: A few counties received spotty showers. Lubbock and Garza counties reported from a trace to 0.5 inches. Parmer County had additional crop losses due to hail. Most of the region had considerably cooler temperatures, with highs in the 80s and low 90s. The exceptions were Mitchell and Scurry counties that had highs in the 100s. Most irrigated crops were doing well as long as farmers had enough water to pump. Peanuts were doing well under current conditions. Most were well into the bloom stage and setting pegs. Corn development ranged from emergence to tasseling. Cotton was from the seedling stage to a third-grown square. Early planted sunflowers were blooming. Replanting of failed cotton acres continued where there was enough soil moisture. Dryland crops were began to show signs of stress during the midday. Rangeland and pastures were much improved from earlier rains, but more rain was needed to sustain growth. Livestock mostly were in good condition.
Southeast: Soil moisture ranged from very short to short across the region. Extremely high temperatures in some counties stressed all plants, while cooler temperatures prevailed in Burleson County. Walker and Waller counties received a little rain, but pastures remained extremely dry and hay was not being made. Cows were struggling to find anything green in that part of the region. Grasshoppers were still causing problems in many parts of the area. Brazoria County was very dry, with highs in the upper 90s and the lows in the 70s. In Chambers County, crops were progressing well despite dry conditions, and producers were expecting to take a second cutting of hay soon. Liberty County had some scattered showers but no significant rain. Orange County conditions were good thanks to some rain. Adequate soil moisture in that county was supporting good forage growth, but more rainfall was needed. Overall, rice was in good to excellent condition.
Southwest: Hot, dry windy conditions dried out crops and pastures. However, rangeland and pastures remained in fair to good condition. Corn and grain sorghum were stressed from lack of moisture but were still expected to finish. Hayfields needed a rain for a chance of a second cutting. Dryland grain sorghum was doing great in some areas. Most sunflowers were being harvested with good yields reported. Livestock remained in good condition, but horn flies were becoming an increasing problem.
West Central: Days were dry, hot and windy with mild nights. The entire region continued to suffer from extreme drought. Grasshoppers remained a big problem for producers. Cotton and grain sorghum were progressing well but will need rain soon to continue good growth. Some producers were harvesting hay with average yields reported. Rangeland and pastures continued to decline. Livestock remained in fair to good condition. Stock-water tank and pond levels continued to drop. Some water sources dried up.

The radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on Monday blasted US President George W. Bush for signing a deal with Baghdad agreeing to a longer-term US military presence in Iraq.
"I say this to the evil Bush -- leave my country," Sadr said in a statement issued by his office in the Shiite holy city of Najaf.
"We do not need you and your army of darkness," he said. "We don't need your planes and tanks. We don't need your policy and your interference. We don't want your democracy and fake freedom. Get out of our land."
Sadr's salvo comes a week after the US president and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki announced a deal ensuring a long-term presence of US forces in the country.
Bush and Maliki decided to end the UN mandate for foreign troops' presence in Iraq next year and replace it with a bilateral pact between the two countries for a US military presence beyond next year.
The leader of Iraq's biggest Shiite party on Monday said he hoped an expected security agreement with the US would ultimately leave the country free of foreign troops.
Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, who leads the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, described the proposed agreement as part of a larger effort to return Iraq to "complete sovereignty."
"For me, personally, I'm looking forward to seeing Iraq as not having any presence of foreign troops just like all the free people around the world," he said through an interpreter at a forum in Washington hosted by the United States Institute of Peace.
"I don't think that any [free people] will have the desire to see foreign troops on their soil," said Hakim, whose political party is a cornerstone of the Shiite alliance behind Maliki.
There are 166,000 US troops in Iraq, including extra forces sent this year to quell sectarian violence in and around Baghdad as part of Bush's so-called surge strategy.
Meanwhile, troops unearthed a mass grave with the remains of 12 people including a paramedic who disappeared more than a year ago, Iraqi officials said, the latest grisly discovery in a former stronghold of al-Qaeda in Iraq.
Morgue workers wearing masks to protect them from the stench of decomposing bodies dug through bags of bones and tattered clothes on Monday as they sought clues to the identities of those killed.
More than 100 bodies, including women and children, have turned up since October in the remote desert terrain surrounding Lake Tharthar, a man-made body of water straddling the predominantly Sunni provinces of Anbar and Salahuddin about 100km northwest of Baghdad.
Most of the victims had no identity documents, but officials have said they were likely abducted and murdered by al-Qaeda in Iraq and other insurgents.
The US military has claimed significant progress since last summer in forcing al-Qaeda in Iraq out of Anbar Province with the help of Sunni tribal leaders and local officials. Iraqis forces have taken advantage of these recent security gains to step up patrols in areas previously considered no-go zones.
But Lake Tharthar, which used to be a resort popular with officials under Saddam Hussein's Sunni-dominated regime, has remained one of the hardest areas to control. The newly discovered mass grave was located between the lake and the Anbar city of Fallujah.
Two of the bodies found on Sunday were beheaded, according to an official at Fallujah General Hospital, where the remains were taken. Hospital officials said some appeared to have been killed as recently as four months ago, while others dated to 18 months ago.

TweetBot Gets More Gestures
TweetBot is one of the richest, feature-filled mobile Twitter for iOS clients around. It is my Twitter client of choice. So I was geeked to find out that the folks at Tapbots released an even more feature-rich update that among other things, adds more gestures for interacting with tweets, Storify, Droplr & Vimeo support.
One of the main features that is getting added to mobile apps are gestures. TweetBot already had a nice set of gesture functionality. Some of the latest adds include a new tweet detail view with inline conversations and replies. Swiping to the left or right of an individual tweet will reveal the new detail and swiping left or right will take you right back to your timeline.
If you're using Storify, you can post links or email tweet conversations to add them to your stories. TweetBot also adds Vimeo thumbnail link support. Sharing files or other content is now easier with Droplr support.
Other features include:
- Video thumbnails now have a "play" icon to differentiate from image thumbnails
- Timeline sync bookmark icon is now an optional setting
- Higher res image uploads when connected to wifi
- Hold down compose tweet button to quickly open last draft
- Improved format when sending tweets, DMs, or conversations as email
TweetBot isn't cheap at $2.99 in iTunes (per device, no universal app for iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad), but all the features make it a worthwhile download if you're a heavy Twitter user, like I am. So download/update and let me know what you think.

"Two-For-One" Solution Provides Integrated Secure Data Storage And Two-Factor Authentication Technology From RSA In SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise Flash Drives
MILPITAS, CALIFORNIA, April 7, 2008 - SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) today announced the ability to deploy, store and use RSA SecurID® software tokens from RSA, The Security Division of EMC, on SanDisk Cruzer® Enterprise USB flash drives. Now available for order, this "two-for-one" solution gives users a single device for secure data storage and two-factor authentication, an alternative to carrying both a flash drive and a separate hardware authenticator.
Cruzer Enterprise is managed by SanDisk's CMC (Central Management & Control) server software, making it easy for IT managers to provision and monitor flash drives throughout their lifecycle. At the same time, Cruzer Enterprise flash drives that contain RSA SecurID software tokens provide two-factor authentication capabilities for remote and mobile network access - requiring something users have (the one-time passcode generated on the drive, used with or without a PIN) and something users know (the drive's password).
"This is an ideal solution for employees who need to travel light and yet be fully connected, as well as for IT departments concerned with data security and regulatory compliance challenges," said Roy Ramati, Vice President and General Manager of the Enterprise Division at SanDisk. "Adding RSA SecurID to our management and security solutions for the enterprise is a major step forward in our mission: providing IT professionals with tools to enhance employee productivity through mobility and remote connectivity."
SanDisk has certified interoperability between Cruzer Enterprise Flash Drives and RSA SecurID technology through the RSA Secured® Partner Program, which enables interoperability partners to embed RSA technology within their products and solutions. The RSA Secured program includes a formalized certification process that puts each product through a series of tests to ensure that the end-user is getting the maximum available benefits from an interoperable solution.
"Two-factor authentication is no longer a one-size fits all solution, so we are working with SanDisk to optimize our joint customers' deployments by balancing risk, cost and convenience and offering a broad choice of authentication mechanisms," said Sam Curry, Vice President of Product Management and Product Marketing, Identity and Access Assurance Group at RSA, the Security Division of EMC. "By leveraging a single device to support additional security capabilities, we are building the necessary confidence that corporate data is being accessed securely by customers, partners and employees."
SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise flash drives protect all files with advanced hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption. Users are also required to create a complex password during the set-up process. The combination of encryption and password protection makes it extremely difficult for unauthorized users to access data if the drive is lost or stolen. Cruzer Enterprise - available in 1, 2, 4 and 8 gigabyte (GB)1 capacities - is also fast, with read speed of 24 megabytes (MB) per second and write speed of 20 MB/sec2.
CMC server software provides lifecycle management for Cruzer Enterprise drives, including centralized provisioning of drives throughout the organization, password recovery and renewal through the network, central back-up and restore, central usage tracking, and remote termination of lost drives. This means data is not lost when a drive is lost, and IT administrators can provision a replacement flash drive with user files stored on the network.
CMC is also capable of working with RSA Authentication Manager to remotely provision software token seeds and, if necessary, the RSA SecurID application itself to remote employees - reducing the cost of deployment.
SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise drives with pre-installed RSA SecurID software tokens, as well as CMC software with a module to support RSA SecurID two-factor authentication, are available for order now from SanDisk and SanDisk-authorized resellers. Cruzer Enterprise drives can securely store RSA SecurID software token seeds, available for purchase and enablement from RSA or its channel partners, to generate one-time passwords directly from the drive.
SanDisk, a global leader in USB flash drives, is driving the convergence of secure portable storage, identity management and virtualization through its Enterprise Division to create a comprehensive solution for mobile professionals in enterprises and government agencies. Today, SanDisk's Enterprise Division offers solutions for more securely storing and managing enterprise data, within and outside the enterprise environment. With the upcoming introduction of virtualization and identity and access management capabilities, SanDisk expects to allow IT managers to boost employee productivity by mobilizing the corporate computing environment through flexible, secure solutions that also reduce total cost of ownership.

North Korea has been acting really wild lately, spooking the international community with its decision to close off an industrial zone shared with South Korea for the first time since 2009, stepping up its rhetoric, and warning diplomats about their safety.
At worst, one supposes the 30-year-old dictator is moving toward war.
At best — and probably more likely — he is doing this macabre charade in order to boost his power at home and around the world. The problem is, it's probably not going to work.
Former United States Ambassador to South Korea Christopher Hill, who led the U.S. delegation during nuclear talks with North Korea, tells Quartz's Gina Chon:
Nobody will give them a nickel. They worsened their strategic situation. And they've made it worse for China. We've now thickened up our missile defense in a way no one could've foreseen a couple months ago. That's very upsetting to the Chinese. It's also a myth that North Korean bluster gets them something. They really haven't gotten anything.
Hill doesn't have a very high opinion of Kim either: "I've known a lot of world leaders, and this is really one of the more pathetic examples of a leader I've ever seen."
While Hill says things could get bad quickly, he also says things could turn quiet fast: "North Korea has the ability to reverse propaganda like no other country."
Read the full interview at Quartz >
So what happens next in North Korea?
A thus-far spot-on intelligence report that appeared last month in Korea's JoongAng Daily described a three-part plan to create fear of nuclear war:
The first stage is issuing war threats against the South and spreading the idea that a war is imminent, the source said.
The second stage is reportedly forcing foreigners in the North to leave the country, warning that their personal safety cannot be guaranteed in time of war. The North would also inform foreign diplomatic missions in Pyongyang to pull out their citizens.
The third step will be a terrorist attack on a public installation in the South such as an airport, or an armed attack like the sinking of the Cheonan, the source said.
This theory gibes with what many analysts have said.
Sue Mi Terry, a Columbia University professor who served as a senior analyst on North Korea at the CIA from 2001 to 2008, told Wired's Spencer Ackermann to expect "a relatively small attack that won't leave many people dead."
While these exercises aren't impressing anyone outside of Korea, their purpose may be to consolidate power within.

Even as the rupee plunged to a 10 -week low against US dollar on Friday erasing almost the entire gains it made since the recent reform waves, the Finance Ministry today expressed optimism of a recovery before the fiscal-end and ruled out any intervention by RBI.
"We are quite hopeful that the rupee will strengthen in next two-three months," Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram told reporters at the concluding day of the two-day Asia Securities Forum here.
Mayaram hoped the currency will appreciate once the economy is back on an upward curve without any effective intervention by the RBI. "I don't think RBI would have to effectively intervene for strengthening the rupee. We believe, once the slowdown bottoms out, the rupee will strengthen".
The rupee lost nearly 4 per cent against the dollar in November alone, becoming the worst loser among the leading global currencies for the month. Last year, the Indian unit was the second worst performer after the 'real' of Brazil, losing close to 20 per cent.
On the back of reform initiatives on September 14 and October 5, the rupee had rallied 5.1 per cent to close at 51.37 to the dollar. Since April, the rupee has fallen by more than 6 per cent, and it yesterday closed at 55.5350/5450 a dollar, a 10-week low. In 2010-11, the currency appreciated by 1.1 per cent, but slid by more than 12 per cent in 2011-12 in the wake of the European crisis.
Rejecting reports of Government slipping on the fiscal deficit target of 5.3 per cent for FY13, Mayaram exuded confidence of meeting the target on the back of successful beginning of the Rs 30,000-core divestment programme yesterday wherein the Government mopped up Rs 808 crore from a 5.6 per cent stake sale in Hindustan Copper.
"Let me reiterate, the Government is fully committed to meet its fiscal deficit target of 5.3 per cent. You have seen the results of first disinvestment. We are also looking at measures to constrain expenditure".
On the almost dried up primary market, he said after the success of Hindustan Copper share sale, the IPO market "should revive."

The Culture of UPCS
The culture of UPCS is one of excitement, engagement, and support. Students come to school excited to learn. The teachers at UPCS are not simply teachers—they are mentors and advisors for their students on academic and personal issues. With their relentless passion and unflinching belief that all students can achieve at high levels, teachers motivate students to succeed and drive the achievement of the school.
Education at UPCS is not driven by teachers alone. Students at UPCS take collective responsibility for ensuring that their fellow students succeed. Juniors and seniors mentor younger students, formally and informally. Students support their peers in class, until every student fully grasps the material at hand. Even friendships within the UPCS community revolve around academic success and support.
The culture of UPCS supports students and staff alike. For staff, UPCS has created a system of embedded professional development where all faculty members continually support one another and veteran teachers mentor their younger colleagues. Through analysis of student data, the sharing of student work, and continual dialogue among the staff during weekly common planning times, every teacher knows the strengths, weaknesses, and plan for success for each student. This open door culture leads to a group of reflective teachers who are continually striving to improve their own practice.

text: A word to you sports television producers out there: Be careful who you contact for certain segments, as sensitive info has a way of making its way back to the source, and the results may not be pretty. In this case, it's Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma, who was none too happy to hear that Eric Barton, one of his former teammates with Jets, had been contacted by an ESPN producer looking for comment on a "character study TV feature" that is/might be/was slated to run on SportsCenter this weekend. Vilma was not happy with the gesture, so he posted a picture of the request on Twitter and proceeded to conduct his own character study with his followers.

Taken from Saucy Postcards: The Bamforth Collection, a new book which celebrates the golden age of comic postcards. The Yorkshire-based publisher Bamforth & Co started producing 'saucy' postcards in 1910, and at the peak of their popularity 20 million were in circulation per year. The cheeky designs became synonymous with the English seaside resorts where they were sold, but were also exported all over the world.
After World War Two, Bamforth artists began to satirise the classic comic archetypes that still resonate today – henpecked husbands, naughty nurses and over-sexed milkmen.
In this comprehensive showcase, a selection of more than 250 cards originally published from the early 1950s to the mid-1970s are reproduced in full colour for a nostalgic walk through Britain's social history. As battles with the postcard censorship committees resulted in almost 150 prosecutions over the years, the postcards also raise interesting questions of censorship laws in addition to being a unique look at changing British humour. As George Orwell said of them in 1941: "Obscene... [but] the corner of the human heart they speak for might easily manifest itself in worse forms, and I for one should be sorry to see them vanish."
To order a copy of Saucy Postcards: The Bamforth Collection by Marcus Hearn (Constable & Robinson) for £11.99 (+£1.35 p&p), call Telegraph Books on 0844 871 1514 or visit books.telegraph.co.ukPicture: Bamforth and Company Limited 2013 Licensed by JELC Ltd

Available on:
Abbey Road
Anthology 3
This retro-style rocker, written by Paul McCartney, was originally attempted by The Beatles during the Get Back sessions, but was eventually released as an album track on Abbey Road.
Having been some years since he deployed the larynx-shredding rock 'n' roll stylings of I'm Down and Long Tall Sally (1968's Helter Skelter is a notable exception), McCartney broke his voice back in carefully.
Living in Cavendish Avenue, just two streets away from Abbey Road, Paul McCartney got in the habit of arriving before the other Beatles to record his vocals for the song.
Paul came in several days running to do the lead vocal on Oh! Darling. He'd come in, sing it and say, 'No, that's not it, I'll try it again tomorrow.' He only tried it once per day, I suppose he wanted to capture a certain rawness which could only be done once before the voice changed. I remember him saying, 'Five years ago I could have done this in a flash,' referring, I suppose, to the days of Long Tall Sally and Kansas City.
The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, Mark Lewisohn
I mainly remember wanting to get the vocal right, wanting to get it good, and I ended up trying each morning as I came into the recording session. I tried it with a hand mike, and I tried it with a standing mike, I tried it every which way, and finally got the vocal I was reasonably happy with. It's a bit of a belter, and if it comes off a little bit lukewarm, then you've missed the whole point. It was unusual for me, I would normally try all the goes at a vocal in one day.
Many Years From Now, Barry Miles
John Lennon rated the song highly, though he was characteristically guarded in his praise.
Oh! Darling was a great one of Paul's that he didn't sing too well. I always thought that I could've done it better – it was more my style than his. He wrote it, so what the hell, he's going to sing it. If he'd had any sense, he should have let me sing it. [Laughs.]
All We Are Saying, David Sheff
In the studio
The Beatles first rehearsed Oh! Darling on 27 January 1969, during a Get Back session at the Apple Studio in London's Savile Row. With Billy Preston on keyboards, the somewhat ragged recording turns into an improvised jam, ending with John Lennon's announcement that "I've just heard that Yoko's divorce [from Tony Cox] has just gone through. Free at last!"
As preserved on Anthology 3, Lennon then sang, to the tune of Oh! Darling:
I'm free
This morning
Baby told the lawyer it's OK
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
The Beatles began recording the song properly at Abbey Road on 20 April, under the working title Oh Darling (I'll Never Do You No Harm). They recorded 26 takes of the rhythm track, with McCartney on piano and guide vocals, Lennon on guitar, Starr on drums and Harrison on bass guitar. A Hammond organ part was also recorded, but was later wiped.
On 26 April McCartney made his first attempt at a lead vocal, though this was unused. He returned to it on 17 July, beginning a series of single-take attempts in the early afternoon. The final lead vocals were recorded on 23 July.
The three-part doo-wop vocal harmonies were taped on 11 August, with which Oh! Darling was complete.

Healthy eating: Is this the ultimate healthy meal?
The human body needs a balanced diet to deliver vital nutrients
What's your idea of a perfect meal? Sushi? A large piece of cake followed by hot chocolate? Even if it satisfies your appetite, it's unlikely to fulfil all your nutritional needs.
Cutting through the myriad of diet plans and faddish eating regimes, the human body needs a balanced, healthy eating plan to keep functioning properly. This helps ensure that our bodies have enough nutrition to:
- Grow and build
- Repair and heal
- Reproduce successfully
- Repel illnesses and infections
- Avoid weight-related health problems
Eating a variety of foods can also reduce the risk of getting conditions including heart disease, stroke, some cancers, diabetes and osteoporosis.
What foods do our bodies need to stay healthy?
The foods we need to eat can be divided into five separate groups.
|Food Group
|Main nutritional benefits
|How much should we have each day?
|Fruit and vegetables(Includes fresh, frozen, juiced, dried or tinned fruit and vegetables)
|Vitamins, minerals and fibre
|Five portions
|Starchy foods(Includes bread, rice, pasta and potatoes)
|Energy, fibre, and vitamins and minerals
|A third of everything we eat
|Meat, fish, eggs and beans(Includes fresh meat, fresh and tinned fish, eggs, nuts and pulses)
|Protein and vitamins and minerals
|Two to three portions (one portion is an egg or a serving of meat/fish the size of a deck of cards)
|Milk and dairy foods(Includes milk, cheese and yoghurt)
|Protein and calcium
|Two to three portions (one portion is a small pot of yoghurt or glass of milk)
|Foods containing fat and sugar(Includes cakes, biscuits and fizzy drinks)
|One portion (two biscuits or a small chocolate bar)
Why do we need these nutrients?
The reason we need a diet drawn from all of the groups is that they all deliver different, but vital, nutritional benefits to our bodies.
Fruit and vegetables are one of our main sources of vitamins and minerals, which the body needs to perform a variety of functions well. For instance, vitamin A helps to strengthen our immune system, B vitamins help us process energy from food, vitamin D helps us maintain healthy teeth and bones, and vitamin C helps to keep cells and tissues healthy. The steamed carrots and broccoli, pictured above, will maintain a higher proportion of vitamins than boiled or fried vegetables.
Fruit and vegetables (eaten with the skin on) also contain high amounts of fibre which help to maintain a healthy gut and digestive system.
Starchy foods, also known as carbohydrates, are where we get most of our energy from. Our bodies convert these foods into glucose which is used as energy either immediately or stored for later use.
Carbohydrates also contain fibre (especially wholegrain), and iron which we need to make red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body.
Meat fish, eggs and pulses provide us with significant amounts of protein which is essentially a building block of the body. Everything from our hair, muscles, nerves, skin and nails needs protein to build and repair itself. The grilled mackerel, pictured, is an excellent source.
Also high in protein are dairy products, and they are also great providers of calcium. The most common mineral in the body, calcium is needed for functions including helping blood to clot, and to build bones and teeth.
Fortunately, the fatty and sugary group, the foods that we find the most irresistible, also have a role to play, in moderation. Fat transports the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K around the body. It also cushions and protects the internal organs.
Sugar is another food that gives us energy, whether it's the naturally occurring fructose sugars in fruit or sucrose in table sugar. But, "other sources of carbohydrate, for example starchy foods, are a better choice for the nutrients they provide", says Lydia Kelly, a specialist registered dietician who works for the NHS.
Healthy portions
So, how can we squeeze eating such a wide range of foods into one day? Lydia advises: "Try to base meals on starchy carbohydrates such as bread, pasta or potatoes. Include a range of different fruit and vegetables in your diet and try to have at least one to two portions with every meal. Including a moderate serving of protein-containing food is also important. Then choose adequate calcium sources, aiming for three portions of low-fat dairy or dairy alternatives daily."
Whilst a small amount of sugary foods each day is acceptable, she warns, "eating sugar too frequently may increase risk of tooth decay. Weight gain may also occur if sugar in the diet provides more energy than we are using up".
And many dieticians agree there's no such thing as a 'superfood'. The overall balance of the diet is what really matters, and guides such as theEatwell Plate can be helpful. No single food will provide all the nutrients we really need. And neither can one meal – so the plate of food above might be one healthy option, but a good diet should include a wide range of foods from each of the different food groups.
Don't forget the fluids…
Fluids are also vital to help our bodies perform their functions effectively, and the best fluid of all is water. Two-thirds of a healthy human body is actually made up of water. It's necessary to help our blood carry nutrients and waste around the body and to help the chemical reactions that occur in our cells.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. When it is time to vote again, will you support the politicians that gave us Obama-care? You are blind if you don�t see the adverse impact Obama-care, also known as the Affordable Care Act, has caused.
To the editor:
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. When it is time to vote again, will you support the politicians that gave us Obama-care? You are blind if you don�t see the adverse impact Obama-care, also known as the Affordable Care Act, has caused.
He lied, �Period� and can�t get out of the lie. Many of his party lied along with him; �guaranteed� was the word used by many of them. If you are not sure of whom I am speaking � it is our president and Democratic Party leaders.
Now they�re backtracking, saying you can keep your old policy for another year. I guess Obama thinks he is a dictator.
It is not going to be the insurance companies� fault; but the liars will be glad to shift the blame. The insurance companies can�t fix what the government screwed up over the last three years.
Obama-care or the Affordable Care Act or whatever it�s called has all the focus now and rightfully so. It is a tremendous blow to millions of citizens. But don�t forget Benghazi as given to us by this administration; or Fast and Furious from this administration. Don�t forget the IRS and NSA scandals emanating from this administration. Americans have died due to screw-ups in this administration. On top of all this, top military leaders have been removed from their positions. More generals have lost their jobs than anyone else has from any of these other scandals in this administration. No top leaders of this administration have been reprimanded in any way � lives were lost due to lies and mistakes, but none have been held accountable.
The next round of elections will truly reveal the state of our nation. How many voters will remain complacent and not understand what their vote will mean. How many are true to their party no matter what the costs. How many will vote only from the perspective of seeing how much they can get from the government without having to contribute to the cause. How many will vote on one issue alone without seeing the overall benefits a candidate may offer?
Fool me once, shame on me. If you voted for Obama and his cronies the first time, shame on them. If you voted for them the second time, shame on you. If you don�t agree with what I have said, face the people that have lost their health-care plans or are facing hundreds per month in cost increases. Face the families of those who lost their loved ones in Benghazi or Fast and Furious.

Hi all.
For people interested there are some videos on my channel 'showing' what my new sprites plotting routines can achieve now.
