Good Grief, how many boyfriends does one girl need It s starting to get a little ludicrous.
Maybe I m just not in my normal teenage girl state of mid the moement but I did not like this book Seriously, the writing annoyed me ALOT for the first hundred pages like, you know how they re always talking about how Zoey never curses, well she cursed a little bit in a beginning and they ALL still acted like it was totally normal for her to be cursing when you know Aphrodite would ve been like whoa And what was with all the Damien an Jack are gay parade in the beginning Really, we ve read about it for the past 4 books I think we re over it, and the gays are good cooks joke was really annoying And it seemed like they were trying WAY TOO HARD to get the characters to sound like normal teenagers Honestly Casts, just because they talk like us doesn t make them LIKE us and it doesn t convince your READERS that the characters are all confused about lots of things They re supposed to NOT be like us They re supposed to be vastly mature and maybe nervous and a little scared And the dialogue was crap I know you re supposed to fit a lot of info in a little space but it seemed like they were going through like 3 different personality changes while they talked for one paragraph.And what was with the Kalona You re my A ya..my love thing I know PC is a romance novelist but COME ON Does Zoe REALLY have to have every kind of important figure guy that stumbles into the plot Also, I know people say that she wasn t as hoe ish as she was in Chosen and she wasn t but she did have her moments Like now she has three boyfriends AGAIN And it seems like the Casts have invented a way for her to keep her whore urges excusable She can have a Vamp Mate AND a human consort AND Stark is her Warrior so she gets to keep ALL of them Instead of, I don t know, DUMPING Erik leaving him to be with one of the many girls who like him or Trying to Successfully get the idea that her and Heath are only friends through Heath s head or letting Stark go be some kind of manwhore at the House of Night.
This review contains spoilers for earlier books in the series and mild spoilers for HUNTED HUNTED is very much a middle book in the House of Night Series, a bridge between the first and second halves of Zoey s story Zoey and her friends are hiding from the reincarnated fallen angel Kalona ad his evil Raven Mockers, as well as Neferet, who has become the Queen Tsi Sgili Zoey will need to use all her power and lean on her friends if she means to defeat Kalona But does she want to She s been dreaming of himTo quote Zoey, well, hell For all of HUNTED, Zoey and company are between rocks and hard places, usually a wall or a creature of some sort.The trouble that came to light in UNTAMED comes to a peak in HUNTED, although there can be no doubt that the next four books are needed to finish the story I think it might have been possible to finish the series here, although it would have been a longer novel then And honestly, do we want it to end No.I did feel a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of characters and plot threads and built up gunk from the past four novels, but the end of HUNTED looks as though much of that will be wiped away The writing is just as fresh and informed as ever, Kristin Cast s in touch ness with real teens showing through Definitely a must read for fans of House of Night or vampire fiction in general.
Condensed, edited version taken from my blog.Not long ago I finished reading the fifth instalment in the Cast s House of Night Series, Hunted.This is about the point where I give a frustrated sigh Oh my, is it a frustrated sigh.First of, there is a story in there somewhere An interesting story that could potentially make a good novel but it s been swallowed by chaotic, repetitive, stereotypical, shallow muck I really hope that this novel is only the stepping stone to another part of the story because if this is setting the tone for the future of the series then it s going to get far worse.Not that the previous novels in the series were master pieces with the repetition, stereotyping and all the other faults but it was interesting and the main story wasn t lost or marred as much by all the triviality Plus the characters changed and you didn t always know who was bad and who was good.The book continues on from the last quite well with Zoey recounting how they made it to their particular location That part isn t too bad because you expect a bit of explanation about the previous novels in the series but soon you realise that doesn t stop there, it carries on but with the present novel Through out the story, almost all the characters, have to explain everything that has happened to each other repeatedly There s no short catch up explaining the main character just caught whoever up on the news so the reader doesn t have to read it over and over again No, none of that.Then there is the obsession with the gay characters I m bisexual, I love gay characters but that doesn t mean we have to be reminded every few lines or have the reference gay this and gay that so much.It s fine if it s just pointed out that there s a gay couple but it s followed by gay comments about them cooking, squealing etcetera with gay tacked in front of it and at some point in the previous novels I started to wonder if the writer was giving her self a pat on the back because she included homosexual characters and wanted to make sure we knew.Just like she had to make sure we knew everything else by explaining it to us For instance, words damn it, write a dictionary if you want to explain words , the storyline over and over and over and over , how hot everyone is or at least how perfect and then there s the love triangles.This is one of the main things that takes away from the interesting story and just turns it into being about boys and the character being a whingy, whimpy idiot She can t seem to make up her mind about any boys that she likes and guess what All the hot guys want a piece of her and so far there is really only one guy who isn t considered hot So most of the story is her obsessing over all these boys and what she is going to do about them when the world as she knows it is coming to an end and everyone is in danger.Way to get the priorities sorted.If you knew nothing about teenagers maybe you slept through your teen years and then have been living on Mars since and this was your only reference to them then you d come away thinking they were boy obsessed, daft because the characters take a long time to figure things out , have bad memories because they repeat themselves so much, are really, really shallow and that teenage girls can go around cheating on their boyfriends, stringing boys along and eventually getting away with it because the boys will still love them.So basically it was entertaining trash given the underlying story but really annoying at the same time Not that I m really annoyed with the story, it s the authors that have done my head in so I ll be reading the next one because I want to know what happens with the bigger picture and to see if this is only a transition novel.
I enjoy the House of Night series but the repetitiveness is starting to get really annoying.Yes we know Jack and Damien are gay Yes we know Shaunee and Erin are twins ,one black and the other white.Yes we know Aphrodite is a bitch and that Stevie Ray is a country girl.We DON T need to be reminded of it every other page of every freaking book.Not to mention i fear that Zoey is turning into a giant ho cake with ho icing And all the men she thinks she wants loves are little ho sprinkles on top.
Okay, so the House of Night series is seriously one of the most guilty pleasure ish young adult series I ve read Emphasis on the guilty part.You know when you go to the airport, and you re waiting at your gate for your flight, and you look over at the little old lady sitting next to you She might be reading a book, but she s angled it so that you can t quite see what it is But she seems really into it, and you start to wonder what she s reading Then maybe something happens and she readjusts herself, and the cover of her book flashes into view, and you see a shirtless Fabio type man with long, flowy hair holding a busty woman whose corset dress is looking rather askew It has a title like Seduced by a Rogue Lord or The Virgin s Wicked Deed , and you feel a blush rising to your cheeks, and you think to yourself, Why the hell would she be reading that in public Well, that s kind of how I feel about House of Night.Let s be honest with ourselves here House of Night is hardly a work of ground breaking literature It s pure and utter book candy, something you know is bad for you, but you just keep eating and eating because you can t stop And oh, how delicious the candy is.Which brings me to Hunted, the fifth installment of the series I ll admit, I actually wasn t really looking forward to this book that much, just because I felt that Untamed was quite a bit of a letdown, both story wise and writing wise After three completely squee worthy books, the fourth just wasn t up to par So, then came this one And I m pleased to say that Cast and Cast are finally back on their game Well, as much as one can be on their game when writing a series with a fairly ridiculous premise, and complete Mary Sue of a main character, and cookie cutter villains.But you know what All of that doesn t really bother me that much Because honestly The books are just so entertaining to read For the most part Yes, Zoey is absolutely perfect She s been blessed with these powers that nobody else has, she s destined for great things, she makes stupid mistakes and faces pretty much no consequences for them, and she s definitely got the Anita Blake factor going for her everybody wants to sleep with her Erik wants to sleep with her, even though he spent most of book four simultaneously hating her and trying to make her miserable Heath wants to sleep with her even though he pretty explicitly said in book four that he never wanted to be with her again Stark wants to sleep with her, even though they ve only known each other for like, one day Kalona wants to sleep with her because she s A ya reincarnated Hell, I bet Loren Blake still wants to sleep with her from beyond the grave The only males who don t want to sleep with Zoey are the gay ones.Speaking of gay, I don t really know why, but Cast and Cast seem to think that they have to make Damien and Jack really, really gay I mean, so stereotypically gay that you wonder if they re going to strap a rainbow banner on their chests and start marching through the streets As someone who knows several gay people, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that not all of them get really emotional every time something moderately frightening occurs, are obsessed with clothes and shopping, can cook really well, and basically act like they re the equivalent of a 12 year old girl with menstrual cramps I think pretty much everyone is familiar with homosexuals we don t need Cast and Cast to overdo it like they are.As for the plot, it was pretty solid Slow at first, but definitely picked itself up It was fairly predictable, but what else can you expect from the book equivalent of marshmallow pudding The only gripe I have is that it wasn t edited properly in a couple places There were a few grammatical errors, and sometimes the authors mixed up Darius and Damien Also, at the very end, they call Zoey s grandmother Stevie Rae s grandmother But it wasn t too distracting.All in all, as much as I m embarrassed to admit it, I had fun with Hunted I wouldn t whip it out at the airport because I d be a bit worried about what people would think of me, but I can safely enjoy it in private.4 out of 5 stars for really guilty entertainment but not really much else
To see full review and to vote on whether or not I continue my quest to read this series click here.Sometimes I don t even know why I bother.I am a goal oriented person Seriously, I have like post it notes on my desk with day goals, week goals, year goals, life goalsyou get the picture And being goal oriented is a good thing But at this point with the House of Night booksI don t know if I can continue it guys I really don t Not after I read Hunted.This bookI understand why many people have quit the series after this installment And it s not because this book is any offensive than the rest though if the character Karmisha would ve been highlighted any I think it could ve approached that territory It s just that this installmentit just showcases what s wrong with this series I thought of reviewing this book several ways interviewing characters from the book, writing a letter to Mrs and Ms Cast expressing my disdain, writing a review where I praise this book for doing what it is.essentially shitting on the written word But all those ideas, they were too good for this book And since this is supposed to be a drinking game feature, I just decided to list some things you could drink for Specifically, the top ten things that offended me the most about Hunted.10 Not so subtle My Immortal references Just admit your Tara Gillesbie, Kristin The evidence is all there Count Chocola, a main character that looks like Michelle Bombshell McGee, multiple characters in love with the MC, perverts on campus Heck, there s even a scene where Zoey s running around campus naked like Ebony And one of the love interests has red eyes like vampire God, if you haven t read this fan fic Read it The grammar s atrocious hence, why PC probably had to help write this book , but it s all there I swear Okay, it s just my opinion and I know in reality that Kristin Cast and Tara Gilesbie are two different individuals, but I just can t help but wonder I just can t.9 Brand Spanking New Characters There were like fifteen or so new characters introduced in this installment I really can t remember who was who and don t care They serve no purpose just like most of those characters they forced upon us in the second season of Young Justice just to sell toys and look what happened to that showseriously, Lagoon Boy and Blue Beetle okay, I got Blue s role, but I never liked him I d rather focus on the characters we were introduced to in season one.8 The Entire Plot What There is of it The first one hundred and forty pages are a complete waste And when they go back to the schoolit doesn t even make sense Couldn t they like get a vampyre healer I mean, they re getting everything else brought into those tunnels Heck, they even have running water Is it really that hard to find some sort of medicine woman like Dr Quinn to come and cure Zoey Or better yet let Zoey die That would ve made a lot sense than what did happen and been quasi poignant Honestly, the plot holes are what made the plot and that s just sort of sad.7 Bastardizing Religions Mythologies Cultures History a.k.a being a Cast with imagination You might think taking different mythologies and mixing them together would be a smart thing to do I guess if you did it correctly, it would But when mess up certain aspects about some of the mythology your using and have no explanation say for the fact your using a Cherokee legend that took place thousands of years ago and try to make it take place in Oklahoma when it s historically known that a part of the Cherokee tribe only moved to Oklahoma because of Andrew Jackson and the Trail of Tears while small portions of the tribe hid in the North Carolina mountains and still reside in the state today , you have one big mess Then again, calling every celebrity and their mother sort of gives you a clue of credibility of your made up mythology.6 ContradictionsThe Casts love to contradict themselves and they love to do it through long info dumps Honestly, at this pointanything goes and I no longer even care But I hate having to read these convoluted explanations And I m like, why even bother you ll just contradict yourself whenever you find it necessary.5 Useless DialogueIt s not offensive, so much as annoying But really, really, half of this book could ve been edited out That s how useless some if not most of the dialogue is It just got really annoying after awhile.4 Rape Culture There s an attempted rape in this book And the way it s handled is disgusting First of all, it was okay for the victim to be almost assaulted because the character that attempted to rape her was hot And for that, she endures slut slamming by are sanctimonious heroine Oh, and did I mention the attempted rapist barely got his hand slap Nope, it s his victim who faces the consequences.3 The Love Interests Seems a weird thing to be offended by But the love interests are pathetic All of them And what would that be five no six if you count dead Loren at this point in time Let me list them Heath Sir Douche Appears randomly, cals Zoey Z, we re told he s a gentleman, but it s obviously he s really a douche Oh, and he and Zoey shared or share an imprint and you know how I feel about imprinting.Erik Prince Eric He s too good for Zoey Obviously And there s really not much to him, he s like a Disney character Though he s always described as looking like Superman Guess the Casts never heard that Batman is the hot DC character not Superman, but whatever.Loren Mr Mary Kay Laterno He s dead now But he and Zoey had sex He claimed to really love Neferet, but we all know what he was probably thinking..Stark Iron Man New kid in school who Zoey has an insta connection too He dies comes back evil but through the power of love hey.don t get drunk while reading this review.Kalona Kocoum This fallen angel based on Native American legend who apparently thinks Zoey is Wonder Woman well, a maiden made of clay that s close enough or something He s completely evil, but because he s hot Zoey thinks she likes him.2 Zoey Is she supposed to be likable I don t know what I m supposed to get out of my main character Honestly, the only thing Zoey talks about other than brown pop is her pathetic love life And as you cans see from my list I drink just whenever that s talked about So yeah, that makes her offensive in that regard And then there s the fact that she s just so judgmental, bitchy, and just unlikeable in general I can t believe anyone would like this bitch given some of the things she has said.1 Stereotypes This is a reoccurring problem throughout the series, but it grated on my nerves a little bit this time around Probably because of the character Karmisha who is supposed to be the sassy African American from the ghetto stereotype It s disgusting how the Casts portray her And to make matters worse, they completely shove her in our faces so that we have to like her I think that was probably my biggest issue because with Damen even though they stereotype him in the fullest seriously, in every book we re told in some not so obvious way that he s gay , they don t spend a full twenty minutes trying to get us to instantly like him like they did with Karmisha Plus, there was no need for the Karmisha character in this book They already had a poet, but I guess the Casts just wanted to add token characters in their book and token characters they have a plenty Let s look at some of the stereotyping that goes on here, specifically concerning her Introduction to Karmisha A black girl twitched out of the group It was a testament to how distracted I d been with Venus and Aphrodite and Stevie Rae that I hadn t noticed her before then She had on a form fitting bright yellow shirt cut low to show the top of her black lace bra and a pair of high waisted, skintight cropped jeans that were cinched up with a wide leather belt that matched her chunky gold shoes Her hair was cut geometrically into a short poof on her head, and half of it was dyed bright orange Cast and Cast 35.Karmisha s first line Let s get it straight right now that I m not sharin my bed with no one, Karmisha said, weaving her head around and looking bored and pissed off at the same time 35 And another brilliant quote of Karmisha s Look, he had wings That ain t right, Kramisha added, fragmenting my attention My mma told me don t trust no white boy, even a pretty one I m thin a pretty white boy with wings explodin up form the ground in a mess of blood and ugly ass bird things is double trouble 42.I d like to interject at this point that the guy she s talking about is Kalona who originates from an Native American folklore and is described looking like a Native American And as far as I know, Native Americans aren t white.So, I want your thoughts Should I continue or not I really hate giving up on a goal but after reading this maybemaybe you can understand if this is the last time I ever read about Zoey Redbird and her shitious life.
This is the book in which Kalona pretends to be a good guy And he also wants Zoey You know what I want, my love I want you I am not your love Of course you are He moved this time, stepping so close to me that I could feel the chill that came from his unsubstantial body My A ya But Zoey does not want himMoreover, Heath is back We re good at being together We ve had lots of practice at it Erik is back I don t know how much of your human boyfriend I can stand And Stark is back Stark Don t shoot him Thankfully Zoey is about to make the correct choice The House of Night is under the control of something that s probably a demon Neferet has turned into something that s probably a lot worse than a demon My friends and I are not safe I have no idea how to do what I need to do to begin to make this mess right, and to top it all off I m falling for a guy who s been with a crapload of the girls on campus and used mind control on them You re falling for me And another favourite character is making a grand entrance Son of man, you may call me Rephaim Rephaim is one of the Raven Mockers and he has already shown an interest in Stevie Rae Is the Red One with you One of the most beautiful love stories between Rephaim and Stevie Rae will soon begin in the next books.
Reviewed by LadyJay for TeensReadToo.comZoey Redbird is back in the fifth installment of the HOUSE OF NIGHT series When last we left Zoey, all hell literally was breaking loose inside the vampyre school I am sad to say that her predicament has gone from bad to worse Neferet, current High Priestess at the House of Night, has declared war on all human beings To aid in her quest, Neferet has called forth an ancient evil that cannot be destroyed Kalona, a fallen angel, has risen from the depths of the earth with Neferet s help He is an immortal who believes that Zoey is his chosen one the one who trapped him decades ago inside the confines of the earth Zoey s task is great She and her friends will be forced to use their abilities to help rid the world of Kalona once again, and sabotage Neferet s master plan By calling the five elements, Zoey, Shaunee, Erin, Stevie Rae, and Damien are declaring a war of their own to stop Neferet and Kalona, no matter the cost The Cast duo has done it again These ladies appear to be an unstoppable force within the world of YA literature The energy and integrity of the first four novels has not been diminished in this fifth installment The characters personalities are as vibrant as ever, and the story remains engaging and original Teenage readers will be drawn to Zoey s everyday, angst riddled life Not only does she need to save the world, Zoey needs to solve some major vampyre human boy drama These stories are surreal, yet shockingly accurate when it comes to teenagers and their lives Here s to hoping for many HOUSE OF NIGHT novels to follow
I tried to finish this I really did But when the main character of a book annoys you so much you can hardly stand turning the page, something s got to give I mean, COME ON How many guys does Zoey need It was just getting a bit ridiculous I was happy when it seemed that Zoey was happily dating Erik who is pretty irritating anyway, but whatever, it s not my fictional life in this book Then Heath pops back up again.It s not only the fact that every single guy character in this series apart from the painfully stereotypical gay friends seems to fall instantly in love with Zoey that annoys me It s the fact that she can t just pick one and be done with it Heath s been following her around for four books now Cut the guy a break Tell him you re not interested, even if it s not completely true Stop leading him on.I can appreciate a love triangle as much as the next person, but considering Zoey s love life doesn t come close to resembling something as logical as a three sided plane shape, Hunted was just too much for me to handle.Definitely not continuing with the rest of this series.

E3 2016: Koei Tecmo Hands On
This year at E3 I was able to play two of Koei's upcoming games: Attack on Titan and Nioh.
Attack on Titan is, of course, based on the hit anime/manga. In it, humanity has been confined to a single walled city thanks to the presence of giant humanoid titans. However, when a titan is able to break down one of the walls, the militia must fight them off.
In the show, the humans have developed the 3D Maneuver Gear, which allow them to essentially launch themselves via gear attached to their hips. The effect is flashy, which some characters being incredibly agile even in the air and I was curious how Koei would be able to translate this to a video game.
They were able to do it surprisingly well, actually. It's basically a simple button press to launch into the air but way the characters control is smooth and fluid. I wasn't able to get to the level of being quite as agile as the show depicts it but I was still impressed with how I could get around given the short learning time I had with the game.
Outside of that, the game reminds me a lot of Koei's Dynasty Warriors games. The map in the demo was pretty large, with allied forces fighting titans all over it. Allies often call for help and the player has to zip around the map to help clear out areas.
There was also a mode that let the player play as a titan. This controlled more like a brawler, with the player titan able to punch and kick. However, it showed off some pretty nice destruction physics as the player knocked into buildings in the environment.
Based on what I played, I'm pretty excited for this game. I enjoyed the Attack on Titan anime and this looks like it'll be a great chance to step into the shoes of the Survey Corp and protect humanity from the titans.
Nioh was the other game I got a chance to play. This isn't actually my first time playing it, thanks to the alpha demo Koei put out earlier this year. However this was a different section of the game, and it gave me access to some different weapons and some different enemies to fight.
Just like with the alpha, I feel like Nioh shares a lot of similarities with the Dark Souls series. Sure, it has a few unique twists like the ability to change stances, but many mechanics have been lifted wholesale from From Software's hit.
Not that that's a bad thing. I love the Dark Souls formula and Nioh feels like it hits most or all of the right notes to feel worthy. The enemy variety in this demo was nice, split between small enemies like little wisps and large hulking fire spitting demons.
The difficulty was pretty high too, as one might expect. I think Koei purposely had the demo character overleveled and even then I was still dying in three or four hits. And those were just normal enemies; in my half hour with the game I wasn't able to progress far enough to fight a boss.
I'm sure a lot of gamers will enjoy the samurai inspired take on an established formula. I can see this game being big when it releases, especially among the Souls fanbase.

Mr Muhammad Nazreen Osman often meets his university coursemates but these reunions are not held over dinner or a cup of coffee.
Instead they happen at the Downtown MRT station where Mr Nazreen, an SBS Transit rail engineer, sometimes works, while his friends, all suited up, head off to their jobs at financial institutions in the Marina Bay area.
"The majority of my cohort ended up in the financial line," said the National University of Singapore civil engineering graduate.
Mr Nazreen said more lucrative pay attracted his peers to other industries. The 28-year-old, who works on the Downtown MRT line, added: "Engineers have to get their hands dirty, which is not appealing to some people."
He stayed in engineering because of his passion for the field, he said.
While Mr Nazreen, who joined SBS Transit in 2014, works office hours on most days, he has to work past midnight once or twice a week for maintenance work. This includes grinding worn rail tracks to restore their original profile.
Sometimes, he also gets called out of bed to attend to problems such as burst water pipes. "You always have to be alert and have your phone nearby because anything can happen at night," he said.
Mr Nazreen, who got married last year, said his wife has become used to his schedule. "She gives me the occasional frown but she's used to it."
Mr Nazreen is working to achieve chartered rail engineer status, a form of professional accreditation.
Criticism of rail reliability here does not dishearten him, he said. "It encourages us to work even harder."

Reward increased in Vidor cold-case that inspired "Three Billboards" movie
For decades, a Vidor father posted billboards about his daughter's murder, angry at the lack of progress in the 1991 case. But little changed -- until now, after a movie inspired by the signs, Three Billboards Outside Ebbings, Missouri, was released to high acclaim.
The Texas Department of Public Safety on Tuesday announced that it was doubling the routine reward from $3,000 to $6,000 for information that helps solve what happened to James Fulton's daughter, 34-year-old Kathy Page.
Page was found dead in her car on May 14, 1991, according to a DPS news release. The car had allegedly been staged so as to mimic an accident.
Fulton, 87, had long hoped his billboards would help draw attention to the department's failure to make an arrest. The current billboard posted along I-10, 100 miles east of Houston, alleges that she was murdered by her husband, from whom she was separated.
RELATED: Many billboards outside Vidor, Texas, inspired Oscar-winning film
Distrustful of local officials, Fulton has said he wanted the Texas Rangers to take on the case. The agency routinely doubles the reward for a different case each month as a public awareness campaign. A new police chief in Vidor has also vowed to do what he can to see it solved.
Fulton did win a civil suit against his daughter's husband, Steven Page, in 1999. "Do you find from a preponderance of evidence that Steve Page killed his wife Kathy Page?" the question posed to the jury states, according to court records. The jury members checked "yes".
The Chronicle has been unable to reach Page for comment.
Messaging on the signs has changed with time, but the emotion behind them stuck with at least one person, Martin McDonagh, who many years after seeing them on a road trip, wrote the film "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri."
McDonagh, who had been unable to track down the billboards when he decided to write the film, said he hoped it might now help bring about change, given the movie's moment in the spotlight.
"I really do hope that because of all this press attention because of the film that something might shift in the case, that some kind of justice might finally be served," McDonagh wrote in an email to the Chronicle after the Academy Awards. "In fact, that would be the most important thing to come out of this movie."

Among the recognition, Francis McDormand and Sam Rockwell took home Oscars for their roles as leading actress and supporting actor, respectively. Neither mentioned Fulton's story in their speeches.
Fulton, meanwhile, did not see the movie.

Introduction: How to Make Carbonated Ice Cream, "Halloween Style"! (Dry Ice Cream)
Carbonated ice cream? ...Really! And here's how to make it with a few simple ingredients, and a bit of dry-ice.
For more project videos, check out www.thekingofrandom.com
Step 1: Watch the Video!
Step 2: Dry-Ice (With a Fire Extinguisher??)
Step 3: What You'll Need
This simple vanilla ice cream recipe is easy, and delicious!
2 cups Half & Half
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
Note: Half & Half is a dairy product consisting of half light cream and half milk. If you have heavy whipping cream and milk, you can make half and half by combining four parts whole milk with one part heavy cream. If you only have light whipping cream, use three parts whole milk and one part light whipping cream.
Step 4: Add the Cold
Mix all ingredients together, and add some cold. (In this case, dry ice!)
The dry ice cools the liquid mixture to the point where it takes on the familiar qualities of ice cream.
BE CAREFUL! If you add too much dry-ice all at once, your ice cream mix will bubble over and spill out all over your counter. This makes a very big mess, so avoid the hassle by adding dry ice in moderation, as the mix needs it.
I love this method because it adds a mysterious flowing fog quality to the process that's very visually stimulating, and gratifying.
When the fog stops, the dry ice has most likely all sublimated out, but be careful when eating, and watch for any small pieces that may have been missed, and avoid eating them. Because the CO2 sublimates directly into a gas, it's very clean and doesn't leave behind any residue.
Dry ice is solid CO2, and as it sublimates through the mix, it forms carbonic acid with some of the water in the mix, giving the ice cream the familiar fizzy carbonated taste that we associate with soda.
Step 5: Ready to Serve!
The ice cream should be ready when it looks and feels like .. well, ice cream!
When you are convinced there are no more chunks of dry ice in the mix, and no more vapor is rising from the ice cream, it's a pretty safe bet that all the dry ice has sublimated out.
The awesome thing about using a cooling medium like dry-ice in the mix is that it doesn't leave behind any watery residue in the mix. It all just vaporizes out, leaving the chilled ice-cream behind.
When you're sure it's safe to eat, go ahead and transfer it to a cone or a dish for serving.
You've just created a carbonated ice cream cone! That means it's slightly fizzy and will tingle your tongue a bit.
Step 6: Enjoy!
Well now you know how to make a delicious carbonated ice cream in a way that's appropriate for halloween, but fun any time of the year.

This is one of you're best ideas ever. My brother and I love you're videos, and we did the one were you make instant ice. thank you. By the way I am totally going to have to make the metal foundry.
Your Highness. Or should that be Mr K Random? How does one address you BTW?
Anyway, Your Highness (to be on the safe side) thank you for some very fine instructables. I always know when I see one of yours that it will be worth reading. This is no exception - it's just what I had in mind for a small kids' project.
Do you recall, by any chance, how much dry ice you needed for a certain amount of ice cream? I'm wondering about doing this but am rather CO2 limited and so I don't want to make a gallon of sludge when I could be making a pint of beautiful ice cream.
You said you got 5lbs of dry ice from a 15lb extinguisher. Did you use all of that? I have at most 4 x 1kg extinguishers (just shy of 9lb total). What type of amount do you think I can aim for with that?
Any help appreciated.
If a 5 pound block costs you at most $5, why would you use up a fire extinguisher?
You can buy CO2 in the US but elsewhere in the world it's nearly impossible to source. In the UK you'll pay £30+ for delivery no matter how much or little you want, for example.
In case you already had one
Co2 fire extinguishers are refillable.
Also, I would think it is easier to crush it up into fine bits since it is already "snow" instead of a single hard block.
He wanted to.. .it's quite all right
If it melts, will it still drip on you?
Tried this last night. It was excellent and my housemates loved it! I'm gonna do it again and include a banana puree.
I used normal sugar though, not sure if powdered would make a difference.
I'm so glad you're videos are back up, I didn't realize I should've started archiving them. XP
You're easily my favorite youtuber.
tried this - very tasty and fun to make. my one son (who loves sweets) really enjoyed this but my other son didn't, he felt the fizzy-ness was too much. I thought it was really cool. It's sorta like pop rock ice cream. if you added some fruit flavoring it would be more like pop rocks. either way it's good stuff (and who knew dry ice is safe to eat!)
What happened to your YouYube account?
"This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated."
The Youtube Video is unwatchable. The account was terminated. Any other source for it?
Careful, you can't be sure your dry ice is foood grade! I Guarantee a fire extinguisher is not! Its made from air using a pump, usually powered by gasoline engine so the pump exhaust may be included in your dry ice, yuch, carbon monoxide and partially burned gasoline! let some dry in a pan and if it smells off DO NOT USE.
This is an awesome idea! How long will the ice cream keep if you store it in the freezer after making it? WIll it keep like a normal tub of ice cream?
It's not going to "keep" in a freezer. Your freezer temperatures are typically slightly below the freezing point of water. According to one website I saw, PThe ideal freezer temperature is 0 Fahrenheit (-18 Celsius) for storing food. And -10 Fahrenheit (-23 Celsius) is recommended when freezing food."(see: http://www.favoritefreezerfoods.com/ideal-freezer-temperature.html). A typical household freezer won't be able to go much lower than that. However, dry ice sublimates (changes directly from the solid used in this ice cream into a gaseous form - there is no such thing as liquid carbon dioxide at ordinary room pressure) at −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F) at Earth atmospheric pressures. Sooooo....the carbon dioxide (fizziness) part of this icecream will start to break down right away. But...the frozen half and half, etc. would remain frozen in your freezer. But it would be ordinary ice cream, not fizzy icecream after some time. How much time? I don't know, but it would keep longer in lower temperature surrouundings... like your freezer. I think it would also help to keep it in a styrofoam box inside your freezer. The sublimating CO2 takes heat energy out of the rest of the ice cream, helping keep it at a lower temperature than your the rest of your freezer. But don't seal it tightly....don't want a "CO2 icecream bomb".
I'd never heard of this until a week ago when we decided to make this for a fund raiser for a club at school, and now I see it here.... Cool! =)
Great idea!

Hey Cred Forums.
Why is the AR-15 America's gun?
What makes it so inseparable from our 2nd Amendment privilege?
What do/would you personally use one for?
Inb4 "to shoot "
The AR-15
Hey Cred Forums.
Other urls found in this thread:
It is light, easy to use, inexpensive, easy to modify, and doesn't have severe recoil.
Because Eugene Stoner > you
Lol stoner, you posted that at 4:20 too lmao dude weed
Because it's neat.
It's a firearm.
Shooting stuff and things.
Basically it is open source. Its versitile in its standard form (light weight, cheap, reasonably accurate, easy to shoot for anyone) but what really sets it apart is the versatility and interchangability. Its not judt about parts interchangability, this standardization allows the gun industry to really go nuts and it has turned thr ar15 into its own category of firearm.
No, RIGHT!!
SBR config for home d.
.300 blackout upper for deer hunting.
3 gun competitions.
Taking kickass tactical courses where we get to larp as operators.
National High Power competitions.
Intelligent animals use any and all tools available for self-preservation and problem solving. Humans are inventive. Do the math.
this plus the United States adopting it as the main service rifle for every branch, not pattenting the rifle let everyone make it caused the market to swell with ar accessories.
>port arthur massacre
>restrict gun laws
>no more mass killings
it's not rocket appliances
This is not the thread for that but you're entitled to your input
>upsidedownland land logic
Truth is....
>restricting guns to farmers and hobby shooters is a bad idea
good goy
Even more truth...
because metal 3d printers haven't dropped in price yet
>open source guns when
dropped enough, that is
I personally prefer the AK but the AR triggers lefties the way it's so scary looking. It's irresistible.
What an attitude!
>Why is the AR-15 America's gun?
Because it is one of the best rifles in existence.
>What makes it so inseparable from our 2nd Amendment privilege?
It is the Bill of RIGHTS not Bill of privileges. KYS
>What do/would you personally use one for?
Pest control and property defense.
>Inb4 "to shoot "
Nothing handles a gang of wild niggers like a AR-15 and a few extended mags.
Replace "an AR15" with "immigration", and watch Cred Forums seethe with rage
Scalia literally spells it out for you in these. Common to defense of their time is what you're looking for.
>Pest control and property defense
the latter is a subset of the former
Lots of reasons. Gun grabbers tried to ban them in '94 which really increased their popularity. Plus we've been at war for seventeen years. Guys get out of the military and want a familiar rifle. Kids who grew up playing counterstrike and call of duty wanted to get the real thing once they were old enough. Also, they're pretty affordable.
Relax, and please remember: it's a school night.
I get your joke but really it is two things. One is pest animals and the other is pest humans.
What is the matter? You seem afraid.
>One is pest animals and the other is pest humans
if you want to be treated as a Human, behave as a Human to start with
I am not the one wanting to disarm everyone. In fact quite the opposite. Hardly a matter of being afraid.
Also, you cucks might not understand fully what you are doing but thanks to your non-stop anti-gun drum beat guns sales will begin to see yet another sharp upward turn. Trump has honestly been terrible for gun sales. People did not feel the need to buy up the gun under Trump but now that you cucks are out in force and screaming for gun control the sales will see a resurgence.
"Why Donald Trump Is Bad for Gun Sales"
>if you want to be treated as a Human, behave as a Human to start with
I know that and you know that but these idiots do not know that until you show them with force.
See: projection
Again, you have no argument.
Keep up the anti-gun rhetoric and re-energize the gun market. People will start stockpiling ammo and lowers again.
Not a gun user here... So take it for what its worth.... I heard an Iraqi war vet say the AR-15 is the closest civillian gun to the satandard issue M4 Carbine.. If true tis brings up a very interesting angle.
Is the reason "they" try to villify the AR-15 because they are worried about our vets rising up?
Then we would actually have to invest in training our teachers. Betsy DeVos won't go for it
What anti-gun rhetoric? Projection and hallucination
Cemte rifles scare the faggots even more
Hey dumbass
The AR-15 IS the basis upon which the M4 was designed. They are almost identical, except the AR-15 is semi-automatic only (unless you install a bump stock)
the second amendment is not a privilege, it is a RIGHT.
Get fucked for trying to confuse people.
It's not even an automatic weapon. It's just a rifle like a gorillion others.
Are the leftie retards falling for the "assault"rifle meme thinking it's automatic? Semi-automatic means the ammunition is reloaded automatically, unlike others that do it by hand, not that it fires like a machine gun.
U ok?
>Is the reason "they" try to villify the AR-15 because they are worried about our vets rising up?
I think not. The AR-15 is a "Black Rifle" that is highly effective at what it is designed to do. Fire bullets at targets.
Basically, AR-15 and all similar rifles put anyone whoever owns them on the same level as law enforcement. The problem is that you can not put the genie back into the bottle. Not only are large numbers of AR-15 style rifles on the market and in peoples private ownership but manufacturing of AR-15 parts is trivial to most gunsmiths. You can ban all the future sales of these guns but that does not take the several million that are already in private ownership out of the equation.
Also, trying to ban these guns will always cause a scare that boost sales ad encourage stockpiling of parts. You can do nothing with Incurring many obvious and unforeseen consequences.
Keep going. I encourage you and all the other spammers that have been shilling for the past few hours to continue.
the gang homicides number isn't annual tho
Doesn't look scary at all Senpai
Have you seen a doctor lately?
Be sure you print a copy of Pic Related and handout to all your anti-gun neighbors and businesses. Encourage them to attach the sign to their homes and properties. Let this virtue signal their anti-gun positions to neighborhood and all passersby.
Get back to us when you are full up on niggers.
>pattenting the rifle
Are you not aware of how patents work?
yes, you jew, about those retarded doctors...
>Opinions from the supreme court's most activist judge.
Well there's your problem.
Is that all you got? You start a thread about "The AR-15" after hours of non-stop spam and you act as if you are being cute with your "it's a school night." comments.
Just put a sign like "Pic Related" in your yard to let everyone know how you feel.
Everything the government has we should be able to have. /thread and gtfo fag
yes perfect for soybois
Ok, as long as you aren't angry
After the Pulse shooting, shooting instructors offered to train people for free. They'd do the same for teachers.
I have been on Cred Forums too long to get angry over this type of banter. That said you are more than welcome to have a nice tall glass of pic related.
I just shoot cans and shit with mine.
OK, just wanted to make sure you weren't mad
Not at all. Again the more people feel the pressure of potential anti-gun legislation the more the gun market gets a boost. You cucks are working against your own interest by attempting to scare people away from rifles. Knock yourselves out.
That's a lot of words for someone who isn't mad
you must be a nigger
We're literally laughing at how incompetent you are at this.
I am giving full responses.
It's the modern day musket.
You created this thread and we are here to chat but you are just letting it die.
why does he wear the meme flag?
This is absolutely retarded. You would need to train EVERY TEACHER IN THE FUCKING COUNTRY. Nobody would do that shit for free. Additionally, you would have to supply each and every teacher with a gun. It would be fucked up forcing American teachers to buy their own chalk yet supply them with a $500 rifle

Glass is an inorganic isotropic substance, a material known and used since ancient times. There is glass in its natural form, in the form of minerals (obsidian - volcanic glass), but in practice, it is most often found as a product of glassmaking - one of the oldest technologies in the material culture of mankind.
|Tempered Glass
From the point of view of the structure, glass is an amorphous substance belonging to the solid state / liquid state.
In practice, there are a huge number of glass modifications, implying a lot of various utilitarian features. They differ in composition, structure, chemical and physical properties.
Regardless of the chemical composition and temperature range of solidification, glass has the physicomechanical properties of a solid and a highly viscous liquid. This means that glass flows under normal conditions, retaining the ability of a reversible transition from a liquid to a glassy state. However, the viscosity of glass at room temperature is so great that the fluidity of glass has no practical significance: it does not manifest itself in any noticeable way over time periods of tens and hundreds of years.
|Frosted Glass Doors
At present, glass materials of an extremely wide, truly universal range of application have been developed. The inherent properties of glass, such as transparency, reflectivity, resistance to aggressive media, beauty and many others, as well as synthesized qualities not typical of glass (for example, heat resistance, strength, bioactivity, controlled conductivity, etc.) do for it.

Choosing the Best Professors: When Pickiness Pays Off
Choosing the Best Professors:
When Pickiness Pays Off
In high school, I'd hear horror stories about certain teachers. I'd cross my fingers that I didn't get assigned to their classes, and there were either groans or cheers when the schedules were handed out. No matter how boring, strict, or uninspiring they were, I was stuck if I was in their class.
In college, it's a whole different ball game. You have a lot more options when you build your schedule, and a plethora of professors to choose from. After you choose your major, there might be certain courses and professors that you can't avoid. For the most part, though, you can tailor-make your schedule, choosing the best professors and dodging the ones you don't click with. In fact, according to an article from U.S. News, you should "audition" professors before you commit to taking their course at all!
How does this work? When you're a freshman, there is typically an array of introductory courses you have to take. Whether you know what you want to major in or you're completely undecided, there are still a handful of classes that you're required to take no matter what. Because all freshman have to take these classes, there are multiple professors teaching them. Take advantage of this! You will have a week or two after classes begin to drop classes and enroll in others. Enroll in a class and check out the professor. If you like them, great! If not, check out another professor teaching the same course. Just make sure you know the deadline to swap classes.
So, what should you be looking for when you "audition" your professors? Well, that really depends on how you learn best. Some of my favorite professors were others' least favorites, and vice versa. There are a few things you can look for when choosing the best professors for you.
- What is their class structure like? Some people love interactive seminars and group projects, and others would rather listen to a lecture, quietly take notes, and leave. Once you've sat through a couple college classes, you'll know what you prefer.
- How does their syllabus/class schedule look? Some professors will have assignments due every single day of class, while others only have two quizzes and a final exam. If you'd prefer lots of homework and put less pressure on the exams, that's something to consider. If you're a great test taker and don't want much "busy work," that's another story.
- What is their demeanor? You might prefer an upbeat, funny professor, or you may want to learn from a dignified, reserved professor. Some students learn best when a professor is entertaining and creative, while others do just as well with a cut & dried expert.
- What are their classroom expectations? I had a professor who didn't allow laptops in his lectures, and it was so frustrating. I handwrote all of my notes, just to type them up on my own time. This might not bug you, but other rules may. Typically, professors will have their rules and expectations listed on the syllabus. If something doesn't sit right with you, explore your other options!
It can seem like a hassle to swap classes and rearrange your schedule, but it's much easier than sitting through an entire semester with a professor you can't stand. You receive numerous benefits in college, and choosing the best professors for you is one of those. If you have options in your course selections, take advantage. Shop around, and ensure your semester is the best one possible!

The entry of Muslim immigrants into European countries has resulted in deep fissures between native Europeans and immigrant communities. The consequences have been tragic--on the one side, anti-Muslim legislation and riots; on the other side radicalization of a small number of Muslim immigrants and citizens. Studies of inclusiveness have focused on factors promoting intolerance in the majority community, appropriately enough. The objective of this paper, though, is to be exploration of ways in which Muslim immigrants have a measure of political agency. They are not just objects of the attitudes of the majority; they are – or can be – actors of consequence in the politics of inclusion. In a series of experiments, we explore a way Muslim immigrants may impact European attitudes towards them. Taking advantage of a unique facility at the University of Gothenborg, the Laboratory for Research on Public Opinion, we carry out an on-line experiment which randomly assigned participants to read short news-clippings about Muslim leaders either vowing loyalty to their new home or complaining about discrimination. Our analysis focuses on whether such gestures led respondents to adopt more positive beliefs about Muslim immigrants.

I was wondering if someone knows how to do what is asked in the title. I have tried setting selectedIndex to the tab I really want them to stay on and that tabs contents aredisplayed, the problem is that the actual tab shown as selected is the one I clicked, NOT the one whose details are actually being shown! It appears that the default behavior is to highlight what was clicked, not what is selected.
what exactly i'm trying to do is:
I've two tabs- the first one contains a datagrid with users details...so when I double click on a record, it takes me to the second tab which contains a form to change the details of the selected user. Now, the problem is if I navigate away from the second tab back to the first tab without saving the details, i want the application to show me an alert warning me to save the data...and keeps me in the same tab...
Thanks in advance for any help / insight.

I've been "drafting" this post for about a week…..
I have about three or four different posts rattling around in my head. I want to write about this. I want to write about that. I come up with an idea–and then it leaves. I get ready to write about something–and then I can't put it into words. So, this post may be a jumbled mess, but I'll write it anyway.
I am a "fixer." I have the need…I have the desire…I have the want…I have the drive to fix things. If it's broken, fix it. It's that simple. No explanation needed. Just deal with it, do it your way (this will come up later), and go on…..
Did you know that if you google (when did that become a verb, by the way?–just google it) "Mr Fix-It" you will find pages and pages of advertisements that scream, "We Can Fix It!"
- Major home Appliance repair
- Automatically diagnose and repair common software problems in Windows, Internet Explorer or other Microsoft products
- General contracting, repair, remodeling, new construction and professional handyman services.
- provides gutter protection…bathroom remodeling…room additions…handyman services
- is a full-service, small engine and boat motor repair center.
Everything from cars, to computers, to houses, to boats….you can find just about anybody who can "fix" anything….
I think I'll start advertising on the internet.
"Mrs. Fix-It"–you've got a problem with attitude, you've got a problem with sass, you've got a problem with disrespect….she can fix it!!
It may not be done the way you want it, but she can do it!! 🙂 No doubt.
Well, I think I can do it. I think I can fix-it. But….sometimes broken things CANNOT be fixed.
My heart is broken for the youth of today. The more I substitute in the schools, the more my heart breaks for this generation.
Kids today are just down right MEAN. There is no other way around it, no other way to say it, no other way to describe it. They are MEAN.
My heart breaks because I can't make them be kind. I can't fix-it, so they will be kind. Apparently it's something I've been wrestling with over and over because I KEEP writing about it…..
There's an old children's show (that is still on PBS, I think) called Bob the Builder. Well, the "catch phrase" song for that show is:
Bob the builder
Can we fix it?
Bob the builder
Yes we can!
Sometimes I think that's the motto I try to use when working with youth.
"Can I fix it? Yes, I can!"
(But, 90% of the time, I can't fix it….and yet I keep trying over and over….as if one day, it'll finally "click" and the kids will just start doing everything I tell them all the time—Ha,Ha)!!
I want to fix the meanness.
I want to fix the rudeness.
I want to fix the crudeness.
I want to fix the laughter (as far as making fun of other people).
I want to fix the taunting.
I want to fix the verbal abuse.
I just want to fix-it. But, I can't.
Kindness is a choice. It is a choice to live with that which not only brings joy to those you are kind to but also brings out the best in yourself when you are capable of putting down your walls and truly being human.
Kindness is a manner. A learned behavior. Helping children develop good manners involves having thoughtful and considerate parents, which many of the youth today do not have. They merely have "big people" that live in their house (thank you, Cindy), not adults. Which means, being a substitute teacher and a youth minister's wife, is harder because our job description (beyond what is on the job requirement statement) is harder.
Manners cannot be taught in the same way as history or geography can-(learning by rote). It is something that is built up over a period of time by feeding the children in small manageable doses. As kids grow up and as they pass through certain developmental stages, hopefully (and bathed with a lot prayer) their understanding of kindness (and overall, general manners) increases. But, unfortunately in this generation, I just don't see it. Of course, being in school makes it ten times harder….kids have to sort out for themselves the difference between enthusiasm, exuberance and rudeness.
And, unfortunately, rudeness seems to be more prevalent.
This morning in Sunday School we talked about compassion. Is everybody born with compassion or is it a learned behavior?
I believe that compassion is something that everyone is born with, but I also think it has to be nurtured. It has be modeled. It has to be taught.
I just want to "fix" the meanness…..but, instead, I just have to model kindness.
I just want to "fix" the rudeness….but, instead, I just have to model compassion.
I just want to "fix" the kindness….but, instead, I just have to model it.
I just want to "fix" the brokenness….but, instead, I just have to pray over it and slowly help put the puzzle pieces back together, one at a time.
I have to show compassion. Even when it's hard. Even when it's easier to "walk on the other side," (Luke 10:25-37, esp. 31-32) I have to wait, be patient, and let God do all the work. And, do it HIS way, not my way….

Logo Design for Shadow Lake Church
- Status: Pending
- Prize: $240
- Entries Received: 39
Contest Brief
Our church is re-branding and looking for a unique, modern, stylish and iconic insignia. Ideally, insignia would represent our church's strategy (Focus. Risk. Impact.)
Our desire for a logo:
"Distinctive. Memorable. And timeless. It is aesthetically pleasing. It is scalable, looking good while as large as a billboard or as small as a dime. It looks good in color as well as black and white. And it is simple enough that it can be applied to a media spectrum as broad as paper to plastic and t-shirts to websites. Most importantly, a good logo communicates the unique qualities of its brand."
We are looking for an icon/symbol/emblem/insignia. If something can be done with "SLC" that does not compete with additional text, then go for it. Same goes for an "S". If it can be woven into the emblem creatively, but avoid competing with other text, then give it a shot. Ideally though, a uniquely visual piece that encompasses 'Shadow Lake Christian Church' without words is what we're after.
Also, based on current submissions we've seen, visually incorporating our slogan (Focus. Risk. Impact) or water elements is a good direction. We've also tossed around ideas of focus (eye), risk (heart), impact (??). We're excited to see what you continue to come up with.
All submissions should be made in grayscale, along with any color designs.

Flights To Cleveland
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's largest city, is notable for its rich history, on display at the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed) and other American Revolutionary sites. Also iconic are the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, immortalized by Sylvester Stallone's triumphant run in the film.
Fall and Spring may be the most temperate (many come in springtime to see the cherry blossoms in bloom), but summer brings street festivals, and Independence Day is an especially exciting time, thanks to the city's colonial history.
The Liberty Bell Pavilion was a building within Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that housed the Liberty Bell from January 1, 1976 to October 9, 2003. Designed by the architectural firm of Mitchell/Giurgola Associates to be the Bell's permanent home, it stood for only 30 years.
Independence Hall is the building where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. It is now the centerpiece of the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Independence National Historical Park is a United States National Park in Philadelphia that preserves several sites associated with the American Revolution and the nation's founding history. Administered by the National Park Service, the 55-acre park comprises much of Philadelphia's most-visited historic district.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is an art museum originally chartered in 1876 for the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The main museum building was completed in 1928 on Fairmount, a hill located at the northwest end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway at Eakins Oval.
Skyscrapers mingle with stone mansions in the city's commercial heart, home to swanky restaurants and colorful dive bars. Locals and tourists enjoy panoramic views from the observation deck at majestic City Hall, and outdoor dining and concerts at Dilworth Park.
The Eastern State Penitentiary, also known as ESP, is a former American prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located at 2027 Fairmount Avenue between Corinthian Avenue and North 22nd Street in the Fairmount section of the city, and was operational from 1829 until 1971.

There's no doubt the city of Baltimore has been dealt a tough series of blows. We've all seen the headlines about the police trials surrounding the death of Freddie Gray, and we witnessed the riots that broke out last April. But Baltimore is a great city and there is good reason to be optimistic about its future. Not only that, but we as an industry have an incredible opportunity to be a part of its revitalization.
HomeFree-USA recently launched our Office of Homeownership Development, designed to make homeownership a more attainable dream for many Baltimore residents. We held the first of a series of classes for homebuyers in early September. Classes will continue to be offered several times each month, and counselors will help residents improve their credit and learn the financial habits that will equip them to be homeowners for life.
While we are excited about the work that we are doing in Baltimore, we can't do it alone.
As an industry, we have the ability to connect not only with those who currently live in Baltimore, but we can service the many people in surrounding counties who work in Baltimore and would like to be able to live closer to their jobs while being a part of the revitalization of a major city.
The work being conducted through the Office of Homeownership Development is part of HomeFree-USA's Move Up in Maryland campaign, a program intended to reinvigorate West Baltimore by reclaiming neighborhoods that have been ravaged by vacant properties. Move Up in Maryland's mission is to enhance families financially, provide employment opportunities, and expand homeownership opportunities through the reuse of vacant, abandoned, and foreclosed properties.
We understand that when residents have a financial stake in their community, they take pride in their surroundings and contribute to their neighborhood's future because that future is intertwined with their own futures.
We feel that Baltimore is on the rise, and we can all contribute to its resurgence. By collaborating and partnering together we can really build a better Baltimore, one homebuyer at a time.

Chimera jailbreak iOS 12.1.2 – Are you ready?
We are glad to finally reach an attention-grabbing factor from CoolStar for iOS 12.0. Of course, this is about the latest Chimera jailbreak iOS 12.1.2 that you can add up right away. Thanks to CoolStar the developer who brought us the well-known utility Electra, we are capable to go through the first public jailbreak from now. Though there were many reports noting that Unc0ver 3.0 is the next utility of the array, Chimera changed the entire story by releasing the public deal.
Everything new with Chimera jailbreak iOS 12.1.2
In fact Chimera is a brand new topic in the community that released for iOS 12 to 12.1.2. Those iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch running respective editions will be able to break their devices from now onwards using chimera. However, it has been recorded as the first ever jailbreak release for iOS 12.0. If you were waiting for Unc0ver 3.0 to turn into a public deal, it seems Pwn20wnd are not ready at the moment for a publication. But nothing to worry as we have CoolStar here with their newest utility. In recent reports, the utility updated its version to 1.0.2. So those who search can find out it from recommended source.
Chimera jailbreak iOS 12.1.2 with Cydia
When we consider if the utility is a complete offer for jailbreakers with all we desire from a jailbreak tool, there are a few points to talk about. If we say there is an implement without Cydia, you will probably ignore it and remain for some other. Of course there we do not have Cydia download through. But there is some other new offer call Sileo which became the next highlighted topic in resources.
As the developer clarified, users will be able to encounter tweaks and features throughout similar to Cydia that we often capture when we become jailbroken. With recent enhancements and fixes, Sileo became version 1.0.3 that you will capable to count.
What's more?
Since the utility is totally new and we cannot go through right away with minimum guidelines, you better stay out of until everything will confirm. If you are an expert, it does not matter to try out the utility right away. Moreover, as both Chimera and Sileo getting updated, there is no doubt that developers will arrange further versions as well to each with respective enrichments. Therefore, those who do not indefinite about the situation better remain for further directions.
Final words
As we gathered around the hottest tool Chimera, there were several things to consider. Sileo was the third-party store that you will receive once breaks the wall. When you become jailbroken, you are capable to tweak the system and even enhance everything using those features behind Sileo like when you are with Cydia.
However, before you go through the breakout, make sure that you know every single thing to handle devoid of any trouble. Moreover, it seems CoolStar will add further enrichments to the utility. And even Sileo as well should enhance with performance and so on. Thus, stay tuned for later renovation.

Each year, Americans, and I hope to believe all humans, remember to say thanks in the month of November. Some remember because they live a grateful life everyday. Some remember because they have known want and hunger and loneliness, but take a day to believe in the possibility of better things. Some remember to be thankful because they have lost someone, and even though they ache for the missing piece, they are grateful to have had them for the time they did.
Albin and its residents have many reasons to be thankful. Each day, we could have a golden list of thanks, however, we often let life...

In Hip-hop getting robbed is a rite of passage.
"Somebody kicked in the door. One dude ran in, put the AK to my homeboy's head, put him to the floor. The other two ran in, and my homeboy jumped in the other room. I really can't dwell on what happened after that, but it was a messed-up situation, but I'm glad everyone made it out alive," Soulja Boy describing getting his house robbed after returning home from the club back in 2009.
Rappers have been getting robbed ever since there have been rappers, and with the most recent incidents involving Kim Kardashian, Drake, and Sean Kingston, criminals are realizing that with proper planning one well thought out lick could pay big dividends. In Kardashian's case the robbers were dressed as policeman and made off with over $10 million dollars in jewels without firing a shot.
The odds of her getting her possessions back are a long shot as these criminals were obviously professionals who had a plan, most likely knowing exactly where to go and what to do with the treasures as soon as they got them. The black market of Europe offers thieves' endless opportunities to move product and stolen items like what was taken from Kim can be very difficult to trace. Diamonds the size of the massive 20 carat ring she had can be cut into smaller unrecognizable pieces and easily sold eventually working their way back into the cases of legitimate jewelers.
In Drake's case someone came on his tour bus and lifted $3 million dollars "in precious stones and metal" located in a brief case says the phoenix PD. The suspect, Travion King, was arrested while roaming the campus of Arizona State University with the brief case, #dumbass, obviously having no idea what he had. Drake was on stage at the time and was never in any danger.
The goons that got Sean Kingston were of much more the normal rapper variety sparking a now infamous beef between the Game and Meek Mill. Kingston has already filed a $900,000 dollar lawsuit against the club owner claiming that the club security of the establishment was involved in the heist and did not render aid when he was in trouble. Game and Meek Mill were both present during the incident but were not in the immediate vicinity when Kinston was approached by the two assailants who proceeded to beat the chain off him valued at approximately $500,000, and escape out of a side door.

Praise for Material Value
"This book is an antidote to a world too dominated by extreme opinions: it is a detailed, balanced, and fascinating account of how we can make the modern material world more sustainable. I particularly like the use of case studies that unravel the complexities and trade-offs needed to understand even seemingly obvious materials choices." —Mark Miodownik, author of Stuff Matters and Liquid
"Julia Goldstein has written a comprehensive, comprehensible guide to the impact of everyday materials like plastics and metals. If you want to take informed actions to support a better world, read this book."—Anne Janzer, author of Subscription Marketing and Writing to Be Understood
"The clear explanations of the benefits and costs of so many types of modern materials, along with their current disposal methods, are valuable to anyone interested in moving our society toward a zero-waste future."—Jill Lightner, author of Scraps, Peels, and Stems: Recipes and Tips for Rethinking Food Waste at Home
"The writing style is easy to read, even for a non-technical, non-science, liberal arts major like me! It flows well, and the interviews help to support the key content points. I really enjoyed the book and learned quite a lot."—Steven Howard, author of Leadership Lessons from the Volkswagen Saga
"How much have you thought about the materials that go into the products you use every day? In this compelling and informative book, you will learn about everything from chemicals and plastics to manufacturing and recycling, as well as what you can do as both a consumer and citizen to make for a more sustainable material world, all explained in a simple, clear, engaging style."—David Biello, author of The Unnatural World
"While the volume maintains an upbeat perspective, Goldstein acknowledges the challenges of bringing sustainability to the manufacturing process and offers a candid evaluation of the effectiveness of each technology discussed. Readers will be left with the sense that although sustainability is not an easy feature to add to the manufacturing process, it is indeed possible to do so with both ecological and financial benefits. An engrossing, comprehensive overview of sustainable manufacturing and recycling and the challenges to expanding their adoption."—Kirkus Reviews

"My wife is devastated," Sundip Patel said Thursday via Skype. He says the way he views airport security and TSA screeners is changed forever. "It's basically put me in a situation where I have zero trust in checking a bag, ensuring everything gets to destination," he said. Yup, 'cause TSA gets first dibs, the baggage handlers get what's left over.
