Like to play video games? Have you ever thought of showing the world how much you like playing them? Would you like to know how to make a video game website and how to start for free? It is possible to do. Actually this website I started for free but then after a month I wanted a new and personal domain name, so I spent $10.00 and bought the name "Get Paid Playing Video Games."
It was the purpose of this website to educate people as to the true meaning of what is required to become a full time or part time video game tester for a video game company. Many of these websites that claim they can get you a job as a tester are nothing more than a membership driven database of names and email addresses that may get you a 1 or 2 day stint doing beta or focus group testing which doesn't pay much and cannot be considered as an actual video game testing job.
Seeing how I have firsthand knowledge into how to become a real video game tester employee of a video game company, I wanted to use this website as my way to set the record straight and at the same time show off some of the games I have worked on and places I have been, like E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
When I got my start in the video game industry it was the late 1980's, right around the time that the Atari 2600 & 7800 were on their way out and the Nintendo NES was the newest console on the scene. In today's world the games for the NES are considered "Retro Video Games."
I am actually quite proud of myself for having the opportunity of designing some of the "Retro Video Games" as well as testing them. I have been long retired from those glory days of video games. Now I spend my time designing websites like this one and educating people through them. So that brings me to the purpose of this blog post.
As I said above, I started this website for free and at the same time I received free and easy step-by-step training on how to build it. I joined the #1 Rated online training and entrepreneurial community known as Wealthy Affiliate. It is here that I learned everything I needed to know, and then some, on how to build a website without the knowledge of any type of programming (the website builder does all the programming for you), how to get my webpages and posts indexed and ranked in Google and the other search engines, how to do keyword research and use many free plugins.
I found out after joining Wealthy Affiliate that there are many other members who have video game websites too. Many are of reviews of games like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Mario World, and other Retro Games. There are also websites on new games like Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, and on game consoles like the PS3, Xbox 360, PS4 & Xbox One. I am waiting for the day when someone designs a small little game and puts it on their website so others can play it and post scores to it. — Hey! Maybe that could be you!
If you want to build your own website to show off to the world anything and everything video games, in the plugin at the bottom of this page you can type in a domain name of your choosing and see if it is available within the Siterubix website building platform. If it is available and you truly want to build a free website, click "Build It Now" and you will be taken to the SiteRubix home page where you will click the "Build My Free Website!" button. That button click will bring up the Create an Account pop up, as seen in the picture below. All you need to provide is your first and last name, a valid email address, a username and login password. Then you click "Create Account & Continue."
You will then be sent to the Wealthy Affiliate Build My Website page with a 4 step process, as seen in the picture below. Step 1 will already be complete. In Step 2 you give a name to your website which should be a grammatically correct name of your chosen domain name or whatever your website is going to be about. In Step 3 you will select a theme which is the overall look of what your website could look like once you are finished uploading images and adding your content. Then in Step 4 you click the blue button that says "I'm Ready, Build My Website Now!" and within 30 seconds your website will be built along with installed plugins.
It is really that simple and quick to build a website. No programming or coding of any kind is required and you need no credit card or bank information to become a Starter Member at Wealthy Affiliate. As an added bonus you will get not one but two free websites that you can build. How cool is that? So give it a try! You have nothing to lose and so much to gain!

Permaculture Chickens
The "Permaculture Chickens" film will show you how to raise your own chickens with nature (aka save you money and be more sustainable) really really fast… like in one evening.
If you don't know what you're doing, the road to success can be overwhelmingly difficult (and expensive).
But you don't have to learn the hard way.
Raising chickens can be easy (if you have the right help).
I learned through books and hard knocks but longed for something better.
If only I had someone I could trust to help me in a more "personal" manner.
I've created something special that I didn't have…
A feature-length film where I show you everything you need to know for raising your own chicken with nature from hatching to the plate.
The overwhelming majority of folks prefer to learn new things with video!
Not books, or the internet or even one on one coaching.
Years ago my beautiful wife and I were talking at church when she said,
"we ought to get some chickens".
No lie, a minute later someone walked by and said, "do any of you want some chickens?"
Shocked and excited we had to say, "YES!"
BUT (and that's a BIG but) we knew nothing about raising chickens.
How hard could it be, right?
That night we put our 4 adult chickens (affectionately called Uno, Dos, Tres and Cuatro, in honor of our recent stint in Honduras) into a vacant horse stall.
Tragedy struck yours truly (aka the uninformed and ill-prepared wanna-be chicken man).
Tres and Cuatro flew the "coop" within the first hour, as we underestimated their flying ability.
I chased them, but had no idea how to actually catch a chicken.
They were lost forever :(
Doubts set it. Maybe growing our own chickens wasn't for us.
However, we trudged on and more chickens joined the ranks of Uno and Dos.
Sadly, everyone soon found their way to "chicken heaven" by hungry predators.
Determined, I put massive (perhaps ungodly) amounts of effort, time and money
….. and something surprising happened.
I got good (real good) at raising my own chicken and eggs.
Check it out:
Here's what I'm including in the film:
•Joel Salatin on why permaculture chickens (yes, I said Joel Salatin).
•Easily get started with your 1st flock.
•Creative feeding programs sourced onsite to cut costs up to 100%.
•Feed on compost, sprouts, wild foods, worms, tree crops, garden…
•Lessen your workload by using chickens in the garden.
•Appropriate housing options for coop's and mobile shelters.
•Using technology, like electric netting, to easily manage your birds.
•Work with nature to maximize yields while minimizing inputs.
•Humanely butcher and preserving for food security.
•Preparing delicious dishes.
•Making a right livelihood with profitable farmer, Joel Salatin.
•Follow the pro's on large scale chicken chores at Polyface Farms.
•See the city chick operations in Pat Forman's back yard.
•Grow and use herbs to prevent and treat illness with Lisa Steele.
•Breed your own for 100% self-sustainability with Jim Adkins.
•Hatching chicks with mother hen to easily raise your own.
•Adjust to winter and summer extremes to maximize production.
BTW, this Film Project Kicked Tale on Kickstarter!

WILLOW, N.Y. — The narrow study where Carla Bley does her composing, upstairs in her rustic-modern house here, was the picture of tidy efficiency one recent afternoon. Handwritten sheet music covered a writing stand and the rack of an upright piano. A blank legal pad sat on a desk. Bookshelves held scores in labeled folders: "Healing Power." "Liver of Life." "Ups and Downs."
This orderly state was aberrant, according to Ms. Bley. "I cleaned up my music room yesterday for the first time in 30 years," she said. "I mean, it took me a week. There were piles here, piles there, great messes, remnants of organization that never got finished. And that's the way it has been, because I'm not interested in organizing. I want to write the next piece."
A composer-arranger known for the temerity, formal ingenuity and impish humor of her music — the basis for her recognition as a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master last year — Ms. Bley has settled warily into her current state of eminence. She has written standards, like "Ida Lupino," and had an influence that's incalculable partly for being so pervasive and diffuse, like fluoride in the water supply.
She turns 80 on Wednesday, having survived many of her former collaborators, with no sign of creative fatigue.
The office cleanup may have seemed a sign of renewal, but it was motivated by tedium, Ms. Bley said, reclining on a couch while her partner of more than 25 years, the bassist Steve Swallow, brewed coffee. They were back from their yearly retreat in the British Virgin Islands, where Ms. Bley broke her left wrist toppling off a ladder while reaching for fruit in a guavaberry tree. The injury, which has required resetting and a titanium plate, prevented her from playing the piano for weeks.
Ms. Bley is a born contrarian, quick with an absurdist or self-deflating remark. Since the early 1960s she has been one of the few women of her stature in jazz, but she's not the type to rally for the cause. "I wanted to be the only woman," she said. "I was glad I stood out in some way."
Her coolly ravishing new album, "Andando el Tiempo" ("In the Course of Time"), just out from ECM, features a handful of inventions for her longtime trio with Mr. Swallow and the saxophonist Andy Sheppard. Chamberlike and willowy, suffused with melancholy, it reflects her sly noncompliance with jazz and classical conventions, which has been a prevalent theme of her half-century career.
The wayward product of a strict religious upbringing in Oakland, Calif. — her father, Emil Borg, a church organist, taught her to play piano — Ms. Bley discovered jazz in adolescence and never recovered. Moving to New York as a teenager, she became a cigarette girl at Birdland. "I just wanted everything to be bad and wrong and different and just as forbidden as possible," she said. One night in the club she met Paul Bley, who would become her first husband.
Mr. Bley, a pioneer of free improvisation on the piano, encouraged her to compose tunes for him. Her first attempt, "O Plus One," appeared on one of his albums in the late '50s. She found challenge and purpose in the work, though not much validation: "I was going to a psychiatrist at that point who suggested electroshock therapy to get rid of this feeling that I was a composer."
She didn't follow that advice, but considered working as a seamstress until the composer and theorist George Russell asked to record one of her tunes on an album. She soon had other pieces recorded by the vibraphonist Gary Burton and by the Jimmy Giuffre 3, a highly esteemed if resolutely noncommercial trio led by Mr. Giuffre, a clarinetist, with Mr. Swallow and Mr. Bley.
The aura of avant-garde jazz has clung to Ms. Bley over the years, somewhat to her bemusement. By her reckoning, she traveled in that orbit briefly, in the late '60s, when she was running the Jazz Composer's Orchestra with the trumpeter Michael Mantler, her second husband.
The standout album by that cohort was her early epic "Escalator Over the Hill," a jazz-rock opera with text by the poet Paul Haines. Its long list of contributors included the trumpeter Don Cherry, the saxophonist Gato Barbieri and the bassist Jack Bruce, of Cream. Ms. Bley later joined Mr. Bruce's band, which had Mick Taylor, formerly of the Rolling Stones, on guitar.
With the bassist Charlie Haden, Ms. Bley also helped lead the Liberation Music Orchestra, a large ensemble that pursued experimentalism in the spirit of protest. Her own albums, which began appearing in the early '70s on Watt, the label she founded with Mr. Mantler, have ranged in scale: big band, sextet, tentet, trio. She made several duo albums with Mr. Swallow, who characterizes her compositions as "especially useful to improvisers," as a matter of express design.
"It's difficult to play the standard bebop repertoire without playing standard bebop," he said. "But when you play Carla's music, you're more likely to search within yourself for a method to realize these pieces. And I think that has to do with what's left out of them."
"Andando el Tiempo" is a case in point. The title track, a three-part suite meant to evoke the cycle of addiction and recovery, begins with a tragic, tangolike section called "Sin Fin" ("Endless"). The piece is based on a seven-bar harmonic sequence that Ms. Bley plays as if expecting resolution at the eighth bar; befitting the section's title, it's a song that seems capable of spiraling onward forever. Instead, it leads into the second movement, "Potación de Guaya" ("Drink of Grief"), which somehow sounds even statelier and sadder.
Though the trio is now her primary outlet, Ms. Bley hasn't forsaken large formats: This month she'll travel to Hamburg, Germany, to present "La Leçon Française" ("The French Lesson"), her sweeping oratorio for big band and boys' choir that she describes as the sequel to "Escalator Over the Hill."
She has a forthcoming album with the Liberation Music Orchestra, which has soldiered on since Mr. Haden's death in 2014. Due out on Impulse! on Oct. 14, this album, "Time Life," contains two of his last performances with the band. It also features several compositions by Ms. Bley, notably the dignified yet unsettled title track, an elegy for Mr. Haden.
The piece joins a substantial catalog of crooked anthems in Ms. Bley's repertory, but it also suggests some new approaches. "I'm trying to stretch my harmonic palette to a few notes that don't belong," she said. "In the piece I wrote for Charlie Haden, there's one note that's really wrong. That's the wrongest note I ever wrote. And I made it right."

Wayne State hosts Speed Mentoring event to support women in engineering
Despite recent gains in female representation in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields, U.S. News and World Report reveals that men still outnumber women in the STEM fields 3-to-1. Organizations like the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) are working to close that gap through one-on-one mentoring and professional support activities on campuses throughout the country. The Wayne State University College of Engineering's chapter of SWE hosted a unique mentoring activity called Speed Mentoring on April 7, which brought together engineering students with a diverse group of local female professionals in technical fields.
In speed mentoring, modeled off of speed dating, students are seated on one side of a table with mentors seated on the other. The students have three minutes to ask each mentor questions ranging from how they manage to promote themselves in their careers to how they balance their work and home life. Over 20 mentors and 20 students participated, focusing on professional excellence and developing women engineers in the early stages of their personal and professional lives.
"This event gives our students valuable experiences they can't get in a classroom. They get firsthand accounts of what to expect in their careers, and the opportunity to ask candid questions to a diverse group of female engineers from a variety of majors, industries and career stages in an open and welcome environment," explains Rachel Kast, assistant professor of research in biomedical engineering and WSU SWE faculty advisor. For students who haven't attended a job fair, this could be their first opportunity to introduce themselves, shake hands and speak to a stranger in a business-like setting."
The event proved to be equally beneficial to the mentors as they were able to interact with the next generation of engineers. Mentors shared their experiences and stories, and connected with a network of strong female engineers. "I wish that speed mentoring existed when I was an undergrad. I knew very few practicing engineers until I started interviewing for jobs," says mentor Ashley Lesser, MSCE '11. "This is not uncommon at research universities, but it's vital for students to understand the industry and the business culture they are entering. We all know that there's more to a successful and enjoyable career than mastering its technical elements."
The overall mission of the Society of Women Engineers is to empower women to succeed and advance in the field of engineering, and to be recognized for those accomplishments. Events like Speed Mentoring advance that mission by providing a platform for women to learn from and lift each other up. This year's event built upon last year's success, and Wayne State expects to make it an annual event.

Joseph Dosu tips 'injured' Eagles to beat complacent Iceland
Former goalkeeper, Joseph Dosu has stated that the Super Eagles could have a chance against Iceland on Friday in their Russia 2018 World Cup Group D fixture if the Vikings become complacent and feel that they can easily overcome the Nigerians because of their heroics against Argentina last week.
The Eagles were beaten 2-0 by Zlatko Dalic's men on Saturday at the Kaliningrad Stadium and they must avoid a defeat against Heimir Halilgrimsson led side at the Volgograd Arena in their second game of the ongoing world showpiece to remain in contention for a second round ticket.
Dosu who won a gold medal with the Nigeria U23 team at the Atlanta Georgia Olympics in 1996 disclosed that the Eagles could capitalize on the positive vibes in the Iceland camp whose 1-1 draw against La Albiceleste could make them become overconfident against the Nigerians who are desperate for a lifeline.

- 'Messi reduced Koulibaly's transfer fee' - Twitter rips into Napoli star after Barcelona thrashing
We must try to face Iceland with minimal mistakes than we had in the game with Croatia," Dosu told Goal.
"Iceland played very well against Argentina and they might be carried away with that result and think they can easily come and overrun Nigeria and they could pay for it. We have been 'injured' and it might be our opportunity to 'injure' them and get the three points with one or two goals scored.
"It is not going to be easy because Iceland also want the three points as we do but it depends on the more serious team. I hope Nigeria will come out victorious."
The owner of Westerlo Football Academy stressed that it was germane for the Eagles not to lose against the Vikings and that everyone in the team must work towards ensuring that though it might be difficult with their Friday opponents brimming with confidence.
He implored Nigeria's senior national team to learn from the experience of Egypt and Morocco who have both exited the competition while adding that they could gain solace in the adventure of the Teranga Lions of Senegal who earned Africa's first victory in Russia against Poland.
"I am not in Russia with the team but I know that the Eagles coaches know what to do. As a patriotic Nigerian, having lost the first game the second game against Iceland is very important for us not to lose.
"We have seen two African countries eliminated already in Morocco and Egypt so I think we should be thinking of a good outing on Friday with Senegal winning their own game to earn Africa her first victory. This has given African nations some hope that maybe one of them will make it to the next round but if we win our game with Iceland even though it is going to tough it could brighten our continent's chances the better."
Gernot Rohr's men are at the bottom of Group D without a point after a game while Croatia who hosts Argentina at the Nizhny Novgorod on Thursday night are first with three points. Jorge Sampaoli's men and Iceland are joint-second with a point each.

I just discovered one of the best ways to use fresh herbs before they go south: Compound Butter.
This is so simple I can't believe I never thought of it until now. And the only reason I thought of it now was because one of our clients dropped by with a 5-gallon bucket FULL of fresh basil. It was fantastic! The smell alone was enough to declare them my new best friends.
I quickly set about plucking the leaves and flowers from the stems. I made a simple syrup with the flowers, which I poured into plastic bags after cooling and placed them in the freezer for future cocktail enhancement.
A gallon of pesto later, spooned into ice cube trays and frozen, I still had a fair amount of basil leaves left. A quick search on google and presto: butter made better. If that's even possible.
I'm imagining instant flavor to a hot baked potato, a juicy steak, or creamy polenta! Or, simply lathered on a slice of fresh-from-the-oven artisan bread. Mmmmmm … upping your game is endless with this gem! Now I'm eyeing my herb garden with ideas for holiday-worthy combinations. It's so easy, why not?
1/4 cup Basil Leaves, finely chopped (or any fresh herb)
1/2 cup Butter, room-temperature (soft)
Parchment Paper, 6″ strip
Aluminum Foil, 6″ strip
1) Place butter, salt, and pepper in bowl and mix until soft and creamy. An electric mixer would be okay to use for this step, but I just resorted to a heavy fork and bowl.
2) Add chopped basil and gently hand mix just long enough to distribute basil evenly throughout butter. Too much mixing would obliterate the basil, resulting in green butter. The flavor would still be there, but it may not look very appetizing. Except maybe on St. Patrick's Day.
3) Spoon onto long edge of parchment and roll the paper and butter into the shape of a log.
4) With the parchment still wrapped around the butter, roll again in aluminum foil to properly preserve for refrigeration.
5) Refrigerate at least 1 hour before use to ensure log can be easily sliced without losing its shape.
Keep refrigerated; it'll last several weeks. Or, you can freeze up to 3 months for future use.

needle/cartridge alignment is the first place to look.
Stereo channel balance/image
I just recently setup a rega p3 turntable with a cambridge 540p phono preamp on my system. I noticed that there is somewhat of a channel imbalance. The left speaker is just slightly weaker than the right speaker. I tested every possible thing , moving the speakers, swapping the wires, changing interconnects and i've come to the conclusion that it is not the amp. There's something definetely wrong with the turntable or the phono preamp it only seems to happen when I play vinyl. Strange thing is when I played Bob Dylan's "love and theft" lp, the stereo image seemed just right same thing for the "bringing it all back home" 180g lp... I also noticed that the right woofer is working and "thrumping" more than the left when the music is louder. Does any know why this is hapening? Any suggestions?

The racing season is still a long way off for members of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club, but training is well underway as athletes participate in group dryland sessions in Whistler and Vancouver.
Dryland training includes weightlifting at the ski club cabin, Soccer Sundays, and other cross-training activities that build strength, balance, agility and cardiovascular endurance. Some athletes at the FIS level are training up to 12 times a week, with morning and afternoon sessions at the cabin.
"We look at dryland to complement and enhance the extracurricular activities kids get at school," said FIS/junior head coach Jordan Williams. "We seek to take it to the next step and help prepare them to be athletes by training the physiological fuel systems while specifically increasing strength, quickness and stability.
"But apart from the technical terms and scientific mumbo jumbo, what we really want is to get the racer in a good state of health where they are aware and prepared to go ski hard."
Williams suggests that skiers and boarders should be doing some dryland training of their own to get ready for the season.
"Ideally you want to have some core strength and leg endurance allowing quick and proactive movement on your equipment so you can avoid the tree or rock that you encounter early season without pulling something or waking up stiff the next day."
Activities like trail running and weightlifting are a good start.

This episode marks the end of Volume 9 and beginning Volume 10 in Light Novel. The opening scene before the opening song is the adaptation of part of Chapter 8. While the rest is of Chapter 9 and 10 of Volume 9 and Chapter 1 and 2 of Volume 10.
Isshiki is escorted home by Hachiman after her rejection by Hayato and reveals that his recent outburst in the Service Club had prompted her to act prematurely. Hachiman has the Student Council meet with the Service Club some time later and proposes that they adamantly push for a drastic change in the Kaihin-Soubu meeting to prevent a disaster in the Christmas event. The Soubu students then try this tactic at the next meeting and when Tamanawa shoots them down, Hachiman calls them out on their fear of responsibility coupled with their inability to perform under said responsibility as further proposed by Yukino. This has the desired effect and they soon settle on a musical rendition and stage play. Finally on the day of the Christmas event, Isshiki takes charge and the event turns out a huge success. The Service Club go out to celebrate the New Year a week later and Hachiman gives Yukino some advice to spend the season with her family. Hachiman and Yui go shopping for Yukino's birthday the next day and run into Haruno and Hayato while waiting on their parents. Haruno then calls Yukino over from home, much to her annoyance and her strained familial ties are expressed when her mother arrives and offers her to stay, but Haruno tells her not to.
Hayama and Hachiman encounter each other after Hayato's rejection of Iroha, where Hayama express his feelings of being flattered by Iroha's confession but feels it was meant for someone else. Hayama then praises Hachiman for having the ability to change people and again expresses that he is not the nice guy every one makes him out to be.
The scene shifts to the train, in which Iroha and the service club members go to their respective house. When the service club reaches their destination, Hachiman questions Iroha and then she forces him to stay by claiming that her bags are heavy. On the way, Iroha surprises Hachiman that her actions are because of the influence of the recent dispute in the service club and Hachiman's desire for genuineness. When Hachiman asked her to forget it due to his embarrassment. Iroha explains that she cannot and adds on that Hachiman should take responsibility for her actions.
The next day the student council meets at the service club where Hachiman proposes an idea to oppose Kaihin sogou as the ideas were sure to fail and possibly become a joke. The vice president is not ready to go with Hachiman's idea this late in the game. But Iroha surprises everyone by agreeing to go along with it. The next planing committee Sobu High proposes that they should split their load and they will focus on a Christmas play but Tamanawa is against it by claiming that it will affect the synergy and double risk and members of Kaihin sogou also agreed with Tamanawa. Hachiman again brought up the topic of lackness in budget and men but Tamanawa already had the answer that they should deal with it in this planing committee.
Seeing no other alternative Hachiman call them on fear of responsibility. But the committee suggested a cool down since they feel of a communication lag. But Yukino further intensified Hachiman words with harshness which is later followed by Yui who calmed the situation by saying that splitting of load will make both the schools mark on the event and asked the opinion of Iroha and faced kaori for her answer, to which Kaori answers positively and ask for the agreement of her peers. Iroha later scolds Hachiman and Yukino for their stunt but they tried to wrong each other.
Hachiman later encounters Kaori who offers him a tinned tea drink, which he accepts. She talks to him and explains that she sees him in a new light, though she adds on that they cannot engage in a romantic relationship since she believes Hachiman didn't have the boyfriend material, to which he remarks that is a role that he is no longer interested in filling that role. However, Kaori states they can be friends before she invites Hachiman for their junior high reunion to which Hachiman bluntly turns down and she laughs, thinking its a joke.
Hachiman later helps Rumi with the decoration, where Rumi first states that she can do it alone when Hachiman was about to leave, she watches him in upturned eyes. Hachiman without hurting her pride offered to help her by saying that he didn't need anyone's help. Later Rumi asked him to address her by her first name. Hachiman asked Rumi if she can star the Christmas play Sobhu high putting on.
The next scene shows the day of the event, where Yukino is making cakes and Yui is packing cookies. Iroha express her nervousness to Hachiman and later asks him to keep up at their schedule to which Hachiman address her as president. The kaihin sogou first perform their concert while the Sobu high is dressing the elementary student as angels for the play, we get to see Saki dressing up her sister as well. Rumi spotlight her performance while the rest of the angels of elementary school carry the cakes made by Yukino to the audience.
Hayama's clique is also among the audience. Both the president give instruction to their subordinates leading to a great success of the event.Then the service club members have tea in their room with a new mug for Hachiman which Yui claims as a Christmas present while Yukino brush it off as a replacement of paper cup. Hachiman thanked his clubmate for fulfilling his request, only to be hinted that the request is not over by Yukino and that she will fulfill his request confusing Hachiman and shocking Yui.
The next scene shows the service club members along with Komachi making a shrine visit. Yui asks Hachiman to accompany her in purchasing Yukino's birthday present to which Hachiman agrees for their shopping the next day. Yui receives a call from Yumiko during their stroll in the place while Yukino waves good bye to Yui as she was ready to leave to home. Komchi slyly slides away claiming to purchase a good luck charm. Hachiman (aware of her motives) tries to leave as well but Komachi admonishes him and forces him to go with Yukino, providing alone travel between Yukino and Hachiman.
In a train due to inertia, Yukino holds onto Hachiman's sweater. Hachiman questions about Yukino's visit to her family for the new year but Yukino feels that won't make any difference. Hachiman drops off at his stop but before leaving Yukino says that she looks forwards to this year along with them.
The next day, both Yui and Hachiman are shown to purchase things on a mall where they run into Haruno and Hayato who were waiting for the new year traditional family lunch. Hayato and Haruno explains their situation and Haruno slyly contacts Yukino to join them after a denial by Yukino, Haruno persuade Yukino to come by intimating Yukino the presence of Hachiman with them. Yukino arrives and surprises to see Yui with them as she was not informed of Yui's presence there. Yui explains about her shopping with Hachiman which earns a visible reaction in Yukino's face.
Haruno criticizes Yukino for being late but Hayato defends Yukino and address her by first name accidentally and later brush it off. Later Yukino's mother arrives to the spot and was introduced. Mrs Yukinoshita was surprised to learn that they were Yukino's friends. When the Yukinoshita family along with Hayato was about to leave for feast, Yukino was reluctant to go and looks at Hachiman but Haruno understood the meaning and asked Yukino not to, an awkward situation is felt in the restaurant.

You've definitely come to the right place if you'd like to get into interior design but you don't know where to start. This article will help you get ideas on how to better your design skills. Read this article and learn.
Mixing textures and patterns can add visual and tactile interest to a room. These textures help to draw the eye and add interest to otherwise boring items. If you want your space to look more modern, textures and patterns can help.
You can do your interior design projects on a budget by finding deals on high-quality equivalents at mass merchant stores. High-end designer decor can cost a fortune, but you can usually find something comparable or similar without the designer's brand name. Only use a designer brand if something cannot be found at a lower cost.
Always pay attention, even to the smallest of details. A unique look can be created by simply using tiny decor elements or coming up with color patterns with varying tiny items. Instead of making a large change, such as a new floor, replace all the fixtures in a room and coordinate them with the room's decor.
When you are doing a home decorating project, you should remove clutter first. Too much accessories or furniture could make a room look smaller than how it already is. Use just a few select pieces of furniture instead, and enjoy the freedom to walk around.
Wallpaper only a portion of your wall to save money. Buying wallpaper for every room in the house adds up quickly. Think outside the box and use wallpaper on only portions of your walls. Use a bold border so that it looks like it is covering more area than it is. This is an excellent method of maintaining a stylish-looking home while saving money at the same time.
Paint is one thing that you don't want to skimp on so make sure you get high quality paint. Cheap paint will not only wear away but can cause harm to your walls, which will cost more money in the long run. When you use a trusted brand of paint, you'll be able to enjoy it for a long time.
Adding a few nice area rugs to your stone, tile or concrete floor will bring warmth and coziness to your room. To ensure that the carpets wear evenly, rotate them frequently. This will not only give them even wear, but it will also lengthen the life of the rug.
There are few things more important to a room than its lighting. It determines the mood. Bright lights project a positive vibe, and are often a good choice for kitchens and bathrooms. However, bright lights can project too much energy for rooms where you want a subtler mood. For these types of rooms, like bedrooms and living rooms, use dimmer lights.
Hopefully, the advice this article has provided to you has given you the confidence you need to take on a little interior design work in your own home or your friends'. Confidence is very important when renovating your home because you must explain why you are desiring to change your home or another person's home. You can approach interior design with a lot of confidence, believing in a positive outcome.

For those of you who like to hear traditional bluegrass instrumentation without the heavy drums and slick production that's prevalent on many "country" music albums today, the Beacon Hillbillies are just the ticket. A four-man acoustic bluegrass band composed of John McGann (guitar), Jim Whitney (bass), Jimmy Ryan (mandolin) and Lauck Benson (banjo), they play a refreshing kind of music that's so old it's new. And expert pickers they all are!
This album consists of 12 (including one hidden) tracks, four of which are instrumentals. The instrumentals are the best tracks, since the main problem throughout the album is Ryan and McGann's weak vocals, at times just not strong enough and at others sounding strained.
The band shows definite influences from Celtic music, as well as a talent for pacing the tunes right, from toe-tapping numbers where the banjo stands out, to dark, moody numbers such as "Midnight Sun." The variety of song styles doesn't allow one to become bored. Now, if they could only find a stronger vocalist.

Which cutting edge technology excites you the most in terms of potential impact?
i) Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
ii) Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality
iii) Digital Native Assets/Blockchain
iv) 3D Printing
v) Biotechnology
or any other according to you!
0 0
I really can't decide which excites me more - artificial intelligence or blockchain. Artificial intelligence also frightens me because there's no way to tell what robots will be able to do in the future. But that probably comes from too many movies about evil robots :)
Blockchain technology really amazes me. It's so simple, but yet so complicated and secure. True, there are many scams in the crypto world but I wouldn't say that crypto and blockchain technology are the same thing.
The technologies that interest me the most tend to be the ones most closely related to robotics, artificial intelligence, and transhumanism in some way. My predictions over the past 3 years have been roughly true here and there (as long as I keep things conservative and not over-the-top like "in 2018, we will see the first AGI").
So in 2018, I hope to see:
Refinement of wearable augmented reality, aka smartglasses. I'm still a bit unsure about the technology because it's dependent upon gesture and voice control to work, and I feel it'd work best with cyberkinetic control. Speaking of which...
Progress in the field of brain-computer interfaces. As has been said, brain scans + deep learning is what will likely lead to AGI within 10 years. Not necessarily strong AGI— which is to say, human-level artificial general intelligence— but AGI nonetheless. What's more, BCIs (even refined EEG headsets) would allow for things like texting by thinking. Right now, there's interesting things going on in the field, but I hope that we start seeing some really big breakthroughs in 2018. Something like a person being able to type 1 character a second with just their brain and the set-up.
More from Boston Dynamics. The only thing keeping me attached to ASIMO is the design— I greatly prefer its design over Atlas's— but there's no doubt that Boston Dynamics has created something miraculous. Seriously, I don't think people are realizing just how incredible it is that we got a general-purpose bipedal humanoid robot to do a backflip. I didn't think that'd happen until the 2020s at the earliest, and if I hadn't seen it, I'd have said the idea of it happening by 2018 is ludicrous. They were teasing something with SpotMini, too, and I wanna know what it is. Every year in February going back to 2015, we've always gotten something (Spot in 2015, Atlas 2 in 2016, and Handle in 2017), so I can't wait to see what it is.
Other robots. Still awaiting the international release of the budget bot Pepper.
Passenger drones. I can't wait to hear more about passenger drones/flying taxis.
More from DeepMind and Open AI. I really hope something comes of their DNC and progressive neural networks.
Bionic limbs. I feel we have heard much about bionics lately, and I feel there's still a lot of room for improvement in the field. Even the most fluid bionic hand looks robotic in motion. Artificial muscles are starting to get a lot of press, so let's hope for something interesting.
More geoengineering proposals. This is the first year that people seem to be taking geoengineering seriously after I've been calling for discussion for years (and I know I'm not the one who started this wave of discussion). It just sounds baffling to think that we should sit down and helplessly take climate change up the ass like submissive victims without at least trying something. And obviously we're not actually going to do anything anytime soon, but I would like to see more talks, maybe TED Talks, on the pros and cons of geoengineering.
All forms of nanotech... how small can they go??
3D printing, AI and AR has seen very good improvement in the few years but i would say AI ans AR has large impact on life than 3D printing.From Self driving car to professional gaming AI to AI powered GOAL KEEPER is near perfect in completing their task.
Blockchain tech, Internet of things, and AI
Digital Native Assets - it holds the potential to create a truly global collaborative society.

Making sports photographs is a historical act. It's like slowly creating a time machine. When I'm shooting, I think about which images will stand the test of time, and hopefully, if the world is still around hundreds of years from now, someone can look back and get an idea of what sports looked like. The Babe Ruths and Joe DiMaggios of the 1930s and '50s are the Derek Jeters and Mariano Riveras of today.

The New Yorker, April 11, 1988 P. 35
Parody of science fiction novel "Neuromancer" by William Gibson, and Bill James Baseball Abstract... Tells about a futuristic version of baseball played with computers, or cyborgs, or a combination of the 2. The hero, Chiz, played for a local team, the Fine Young Chemicals, then for the New New York Yankees in a 3-game series against the Trump-Brunei Swallows. He won 2 of the games, but lost the 3rd, when his pet project, a winter-solstice/screwball anomaly, failed. He was called to the owner's office, offered a brainwipe with neat's-foot-oil neurotoxins if he wanted to keep playing. He threw his ball at the owner's head. The ball bounced back at him & he fielded it cleanly.

PTI knows that it cannot win the 2018 elections and the Panama case proves just that
For the past one year, no other issue has gained more prominence in the political landscape of Pakistan than the Panama leaks. The issue is frankly trivial and not worth this much obsession, but thanks to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and our electronic media, a triviality has transformed into a national obsession. The government has been distracted and is in some sort of a survival mode; more pressing issues in the country have been relegated to insignificance as the Panama case has become the centre of everything.
For PTI, the Panama case has become a fixation which is now bordering lunacy. So much so, that even bomb blasts, openly claimed by Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) and Islamic State (IS), are perceived to be a conspiracy hatched by the government in connivance with India to divert attention from the Panama case. Furthermore, many PTI leaders start their tirade by saying,
"Abhi Panama case ka faisla inn ke khilaf aane wala hai."
(The Panama case verdict will be against them.)
Just yesterday, PTI chief Imran Khan was seen whining about a secret deal between the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), entailing a plan to save the former from the impending doom of the Panama case verdict.
On social media, I constantly read laughable tweets by desperate PTI members, mostly belonging to "educated" urban middleclass, expressing a range of emotions including hope, fear and frustration about the Panama case verdict. Following are some "shining" examples:

#پھٹیچرتبدیلی@PMLNMEDIA What about your #courrpt #PmNawaz #PanamaCase & #DawnLeaks— Muhammad Shehzad Ashraf Khan (@ShehzadAshraf5) March 19, 2017
IN SHA ALLAH #Soon #GoNawazGo @ImranKhanPTI is our hope
Does PTI really stand for ending corruption? Is its strategy worthy of some "higher" cause? Will it lead towards a corruption-free, democratic and more accountable Pakistan?
This mind-boggling obsession by the leadership and members of the party warrants a serious examination.
However, even a cursory analysis would immediately reveal that all the political agitation by PTI is nothing but shameless opportunism. There were hundreds of names on the list and yet the emphasis lies solely on Nawaz Sharif over some apartments that were purchased decades ago. Moreover, the names in the leaks were of his children and yet PTI wants the prime minister disqualified under Article 62 and 63.
Now to be fair to PTI, every political party indulges in such behaviour when the opportunity arises; opposing parties exploit weaknesses of the ruling parties and try to increase their political capital. All politics is realpolitik and is geared towards achieving power.
Moreover, in a democratic setup, opposing parties by agitation, even when done for their own power, actually help improve public accountability and governance. However, this only happens if agitation is done within the democratic norms and with the understanding that democracy is the only game in town.
Regrettably, PTI's role during this episode and ever since the 2013 elections is thoroughly regressive. First, it expressed doubts over the results of 2013 elections, despite the fact that virtually no one had been expecting a win for PTI before the polls. Furthermore, for almost six months, it disrupted routine life, and in a move which was highly condemnable, Imran ordered an assault on the Parliament as well.
By indulging in such tactics, PTI has set a precedent of using street power to blackmail the government. During all that needless agitation, PTI constantly invited the military to intervene. Moreover, the dharnas and sit-ins by PTI were a totally useless affair as the judicial commission formed at Imran's own request declared that the elections had been free and fair. Subsequently, PTI lost miserably in the local bodies elections, further proving that it was not as popular as it imagined itself to be.
PTI has adopted similar tactics in this matter as well, and it was its threat of possible bloodshed on November 2nd that led to the formation of the Supreme Court bench, currently in the process of deciding the fate of an elected government.
This is once again setting a dangerous precedent as instead of resolving and settling issues in the Parliament, a judicial route is being adopted. This has two negative implications. Firstly, political parties will opt for this route to trouble or even dismiss a government in the future, even over minor matters. This will not bode well for strengthening parliamentary processes and most importantly, democracy.
Secondly, involving the judiciary in political matters is going to further strengthen the judicial commission and may lead to unwarranted judicial activism in the future. Since a judicial process greatly values precedence, any government can be potentially dismissed on some perceived violation of law or misdeed. Ability to simply dismiss a government also increases the incentive to needlessly interfere in matters which do not fall into the judicial realm. Even in this case, the Supreme Court, due to the situation created by PTI, is actually exceeding its traditional mandate of being a constitutional court by acting as an inquiry court.
PTI knows that it cannot win the 2018 elections. Hence there is that desperation to use a non-electoral route to dislodge Nawaz, irrespective of the fact that it will have dangerous consequences in the future. During the hearings and also in the interim period till judgement, PTI has been constantly pressurising the judges by passing provocative comments. It has been trying to create a perception that the court will decide in its favour, and if it does not, then there is no concept of law in the country.
In my opinion, these four years of PTI have shown that it is a totally immature political outfit and will be Pakistan's worst nightmare if, God forbids, it comes to power.

The Missing Bone
Airdate: May 22, 2004
The Rangers agree that they must keep an eye on Trent.
Trent is watching them from against the school lockers.
Trent doesn't seem too threatened by the Rangers watching him.
Trent gets paged to meet with Principal Randall, who tries to get through to Trent, but he doesn't back down.
In class, Principal Randall introduceds Anton Mercer as the substitute teacher for Dr. Oliver.
The class isn't pleased with Dr. Mercer as their new teacher.
The Rangers argue that Anton shouldn't be watching other people's kids, when he can't take care of his own.
Anton tries to talk to Trent, but Trent won't listen to him.
Kira finds a bone in the Lab, but Tommy says it should be put away for safe keeping.
Meanwhile, at the Dinosaur Exhibit - at the museum..
Anton Mercer takes his class on a field trip.
Meanwhile, Kira stumbles upon Fossilador - a mind controlling fossil.
Kira is put under the Fossilador's evil control
Kira blows off the other Rangers at the Cyberspace.
She later tells Dr. Oliver that she has spotted a Dinozord egg in the forest.
Tommy goes off to investigate.
Meanwhile, Kira infiltrates the Dino Lab - and steals the missing bone.
Tommy returns to discover the bone is missing, and says that it was part of an experiment that was out of control.
The incomplete Thundersaurus Megazord must fight against Fossilador.
Kira comes to their rescue once she is free from the spell - with the aid of the Pterazord.
Meanwhile, Tommy faces off against Zeltrax and the Triptoids.
With instructions from Dr. Oliver, the Thundersaurus Megazord finally destroys Fossilador.
Kira wonders why the Fossilador was being stored in Anton Mercer's museum.
Anton Mercer searches for a way to free himself from Mesogog.
But the transformation is too powerful, and he is overcome by it.
After becoming Mesogog, he promises that his plan to bring back the era of the dinosaurs will soon come to pass.
- Tommy and Anton created an mind controlling fossil, which became out of control. What purpose would they have had for something like this anyway?
- During the Trent and Principal Randall confrontation, Trent is clearly aware of her true identity.
- Anton Mercer and Mesogog seem to be struggling for control.

Three Kings Day Celebration
Latinas Unidas organizes a children's event to celebrate the 3 Kings Day (January 6) during the month of January.
Customarily, we first have a parranda (sing-along), when we sing villancicos (traditional Christmas songs in Spanish). We organize an arts and craft activity for the kids, and after the reading of the Three King story, the 3 Kings "in person" arrive and give candy and a gift to the children. We also serve dinner featuring typical Hispanic dishes.
We have been fortunate to count with community leaders and personalities that cheerfully agree to participate as the Kings, such as Rochester Mayor Bill Johnson; Rochester Mayor Robert Duffy; WOKR TV Weather Reporter, Richard Mc Cullogh; WHAM TV 13 Weather Reporter Glenn Johnson; Rochester Fire Chief Floyd A. Madison; the city's commissioner of community development, Julio Vazquez; Sgt. Carlos Garcia of the Rochester Police Department; Sen. Joseph Robach, R-Greece; Albert Algarin, president of North Clinton Avenue Business Association, among others.

It's Upfronts time, folks! Over the past week, the major broadcast networks have slowly announced which shows they are renewing or cancelling, and which new pilots have been picked up for next season. Today, NBC was the first of the networks to reveal what its schedule will look like come Fall 2012, and of course it came with some surprises. Below are my thoughts on the new shows NBC has picked up and where they land on the schedule (as always, this is completely based on the description of the show and the cast involved).
- REVOLUTION [Drama – Mondays @ 8]: A new show from J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke, the show is an adventure thriller featuring a world where all forms of technology have blacked out. Another season, another Abrams show. You'd think after last season, I would give up on Abrams (Alcatraz was a bust, Person of Interest probably deserves a second chance from me) but I still believe in the man who brought us Felicity and Alias. Not to mention he is joined by Kripke as an executive producer, who was responsible for giving us the world of Supernatural. For me, the cast doesn't even matter on this one – two imaginative producers with an interesting set-up, is more than enough for me to give this show a try.
- GO ON [Comedy – Tuesdays @ 9]: Matthew Perry returns to NBC in this new show about a recently widowed sportscaster attempting to move on with his life, while forced to attend group therapy sessions. It's Matthew Perry, on NBC, why wouldn't I give this show a shot? If Courtney Cox's Jules Cobb on Cougar Town is like the next level of Monica Gellar, I have a feeling this is going to be the next level of Chandler Bing for Perry.
- THE NEW NORMAL [Comedy – Tuesdays @ 9:30]: Consider this Modern Family, if it only focused on Cam & Mitch and they had followed through with that surrogacy plot from this past season. That's what I take from it anyways. The show stars Justin Bartha (from The Hangover movies) and Andrew Rannells (from Broadway's The Book of Mormon) and is brought to us by the producers of Glee (seems appropriate that Murphy and Co. are in charge of this show). More than likely that I'll watch it, but at the very least will give it a shot.
- ANIMAL PRACTICE [Comedy – Wednesdays @ 8]: Centers on the antics at a veterinarian's office, with a vet who loves animals, but hates people. This is one of those "you'll never know" shows, meaning you can't really tell if it's going to be good or bad until you watch it. So I guess I'm going to have to await judgment until I watch the show (or at least watch previews for it).
- GUYS WITH KIDS [Comedy – Wednesdays @ 8:30]: Jimmy Fallon executive produces this show about three thirty-something guys trying to hold on to their youth, while raising their newborn kids. I feel like this could be really funny, especially with Fallon as exec. producer.
- CHICAGO FIRE [Drama – Wednesdays @ 10]: A show that revolves around the firefighters, rescue squad, and paramedics of Chicago, and stars Taylor Kinney and Jesse Spencer. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a show like this some years ago? I think it was called Third Watch? It doesn't strike me as anything particularly original, so I'm not so sure about it.
- DO NO HARM [Drama – Midseason]: Sort of a Jekyll/Hyde drama featuring a neurosurgeon. Alter egos are always an interesting thing, which certainly gets me intrigued. Only thing I'm worried about is that they are planning for this to air midseason on Sundays (after football is over) and it will be the only scripted show that night (following Fashion Star and Celebrity Apprentice). It's one thing to have an established show follow some reality shows, but how does the network expect to launch a new show following two reality shows that aren't doing that well in the ratings anyways?
- SAVE ME [Comedy – Midseason]: Stars Anne Heche as a woman, who after having a near-death experience, discovers she has become a prophet…yeah…At the very least, this is a comedy and they're not making some serious stuff out of it, but I still don't think this sounds entirely promising.
- 1600 PENN [Comedy – Midseason]: It's a family show that is set in the White House. There's really no other way to describe it, and yet I do think it is worth a look. What surprises me though is that they are not putting this on in the fall, especially with it being election time (or maybe that is especially why they decided against it).
- NEXT CALLER [Comedy – Midseason]: The show is set at a satellite radio station featuring a foulmouthed DJ (played by Dane Cook) who now has to contend with a young feminist for a co-host. Another we'll see about this.
- INFAMOUS [Drama – Midseason]: It was bound to happen. With the success of Revenge over on ABC, NBC is attempting to its own murder mystery drama. This one stars Meagan Good as a detective tasked with uncovering the murder of a wealthy socialite, who was once her best friend when she lived as the daughter of the family housekeeper. Murder, mystery, intrigue…count me in! Not to mention Victor Garber (Jack Bristow!) and Tate Donovan (Jimmy Cooper!)? Sold.
- HANNIBAL [Drama – Midseason]: Consider this the origins of Hannibal Lecter, before he became the man we knew from The Silence of the Lambs. Should be interesting, but I can't help but wonder if this might be a better fit for the cable networks.
Other notable points in the schedule:
- Looks like NBC is going forward with having The Voice on twice a year. Don't get me wrong, you know I love the show but once a year is MORE than enough. Too much of a good thing is going to be a bad thing; it's called over-saturation. NBC must be really desperate or don't have enough faith in their pilots if they are going with this route. Also, does this mean they are going to have different coaches each season? Because there is definitely no way Adam, Blake, Cee-Lo, (maybe) Christina will agree to do this twice a year. Hello, they are successful music artists with careers! They've got touring and promo to do!
- Community is moving to Fridays @ 8:30, following Whitney @ 8 (I still don't understand how Whitney got renewed). Happy that Community got renewed, not so happy about this timeslot.
- Rock Center with Brian Williams follows the Thursday night comedy line-up of 30 Rock, Up All Night, The Office + Parks and Recreation. I also don't understand how Rock Center is still on and it gets that slot @ 10? What a waste! I still contend that they should've done a 3 hour comedy night, moving the 2 Friday comedies, move Grimm to 8 on Fridays, and then follow that up with Rock Center.
- Smash is being held off until midseason, which I must say is probably for the best, giving it more time to develop itself after its uneven first season.
- Officially Cancelled: Are You There Chelsea, Awake, Bent, Best Friends Forever, Harry's Law, The Firm

Tomorrow morning, it's Fox's turn.

Stephen's Challenge – Lesson 16.18
Act 6:8 - 7:60
In Acts chapter 6 we are introduced to a servant of Christ named Stephen. Stephen is described in 6:8 as " a man full of God's grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people". In 6:10 his opposition "could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke". Because of this, several men conspired against him and convinced others to testify falsely against Stephen.
When Stephen was brought before the spiritual ruling bodies, he was asked about the false testimonies. In chapter 7, Stephen gives an AWESOME run down of the history of Israel which culminates with Stephen's rightful telling of how they persecuted every prophet that was before him. He asks in 7:52, "Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute?". He goes on to say in the same verse "They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him!"
Verse 7:53 is where I was really convicted. Stephen then says "you who have received the law that was given through angels but have not obeyed it". After this, the leaders were so violently mad that they literally cupped their ears in defiance as not to hear him anymore, dragged Stephen out of the city and stone him! .... Essentially they plugged their ears and said "LALALALALA, I can't hear you!"
This rocked my world. I had to take some time to really look at my heart and wonder "Have I received God's grace, mercy, even laws written on my heart and NOT obeyed them?" Am I like the so-called "spiritual leaders"? Have I plugged my ears like a child and brought the evidence of my sin out to the city walls to bury it? How can we be obedient to God if we do not allow the light of truth to penetrate and expose our sin? How can we call ourselves Christians if our response is not repentance?
I hope Stephen's challenge will be a reminder to us all. Invite truth into your life. Run to it; embrace it; do not plug your ears and run to the outskirts of the city to hide your sin and squelch truth.
Soli Deo Gloria - Jesse

winter cutworms
Asked April 14, 2019, 5:16 PM EDT
Help My daughters flowerbeds are being decimated again by winter cutworms. do these worms live in soil and/or sod? Are they spread by moths? When do they emerge? How do we get rid of them?
Multnomah County Oregon
1 Response
Thank you for your question. Cutworms are the larval stage of the yellow underwing moth (Noctua pronuba), so they are like the caterpillar to the butterfly. Moths don't 'spread' them; the cutworm becomes a moth through photosynthesis. Moths just aren't as interesting, because they don't have flashy chrysalises. Here is a comprehensive OSU article about them, their identification and control: https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/sites/catalog/files/project/pdf/em9139_1.pdf
Good luck!
