Our Complete Nintendo Switch Accessories Guide
If you're looking for Nintendo Switch accessories, check out our guide here, which lists every single Nintendo and Offically Licensed 3rd Party accessory that has been released.
The Nintendo Pro Controller is in stock for a very limited time
The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller isn't absolutely essential, but no doubt many gamers will swear by it thanks to its more traditional form factor and the fact that, unlike the Joy-Cons, it's got Nintendo's classic cross-shaped D-Pad on it – that's a crucial component in many gamers' minds, especially when it comes to old-school games like Street Fighter II. Admittedly, this is not a deal at all, but it is currently sold out everywhere else.
The cheapest 200GB Micro SDXC Card available for the Nintendo Switch
Right out of the box, the Nintendo Switch has 32GB of built-in memory. That'll cover almost everyone for Day 1's downloads, but if you're planning on becoming a frequent eShopper and see yourself buying lots of digital-only releases like Shovel Knight, FAST RMX and Sonic Mania in the near future, you'll want to look into upgrading your Switch's storage by investing in a Micro SDXC Card. The Switch only has one memory card slot, so your best bet would be to get enough space to last the Switch's lifetime.
Humble's New March Bundle gives you The Witness (rated a perfect 10/10 "Masterpiece") and $100+ worth of other games for only $12
The new Humble March Bundle started today and the highlighted game for this month is The Witness, which sells for $40 by itself on Steam. This is one of the rare games that was given a perfect 10/10 score on IGN. Let's not forget though that there are plenty of other games included, and the total package retails for over $100.
$100 Dell Gift Card w/ the $250 Xbox One 500GB Battlefield Bundle (aka the 2nd cheapest 4K Blu-ray player on the market)
If you plan to use the gift card on a future Dell order, then you're essentially paying $150 for the 500GB bundle and $200 for the 1TB models. This is an especially great deal for people who have Dell gift cards to use. 4K HDTV owners, this is the second cheapest price for a true 4K Blu-ray player (the Philips 4K Blu-ray Player is actually a little cheaper).

Use code: "AFFLT549". Core i7 laptops under $550 are pretty rare. In this case, you're getting a 15″ 1080p Full HD display, 6th generation Core i7 processor, 8GB of memory, 1TGB hard drive, Windows 7 Professional (with a Windows 10 Pro license included), and 1-year Dell warranty. The Radeon R5 M335 discrete graphics can run intensive games (like GTA V) at arond 30-35fps at the lowest settings and at a reduced 1366×768 resolution. It should be able to run most Steam indie games perfectly well.
23% off Xbox Live Gold 1yr Subscription plus New Free Games for March
You'll always need the Xbox Live Gold membership to play online, but there are other perks as well. You get discounts on select games every month. We always recommend getting the 1-year subscription since the cost per month is lower than the 1-month or 3-month subs.
Here are March's free games for Xbox Live Gold subscribers:
New Release! 20% off Horizon: Zero Dawn (PS4) from $48, Collector's Edition Strategy Guide and Art Book from $24
Horizon Zero Dawn was awarded IGN Editors' Choice with an "Amazing" 9.3/10 rating (check out the review here). Watching the editors play here makes me wonder if this can topple Uncharted 4 as best graphics (IMO) on the PS4. Get an automatic 20% off with Amazon Prime or Best Buy GCU.
You won't find any Lighting Cable cheaper than this one
Use code "I8B6EUDE" to drop the price of the IXCC 3.3ft Apple MFi-Certified Lightning Cable to $3.50. "Tried and true" is a bit of an understatement, considering this cable has over 28,000 reviews on Amazon with 88% user rating.
The best looking Star Wars Game ever, with all DLC, for only $20
Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition really fleshes out the game immensely. When it was released, Battlefront was really a shell of a game with no single player and a paltry handful of multiplayer maps to play in, and it was $60. The Ultimate Edition includes all four epic expansions packs including Star Wars Rogue One: Scarif, 30+ maps, 14 heroes and 14 game modes and you're getting it for 67% cheaper.

The delirious animated series Ren and Stimpy makes its DVD debut in a three-disc set that features seasons 1 and 2, as well as a handful of extras to please its devoted fan base. Extras include commentaries on seven episodes by Kricfalusi and the show's creators, storyboard galleries, a featurette, and the "banned" episode "Man's Best Friend."
New $100 price drop on the Oculus Rift VR Headset and Touch Controllers – better than the Black Friday "gift card" deals
Sure there's alot of VR options available these days, but there are only two "blow your mind" headsets and the Rift is the more affordable one. Starting today, Oculus has docked $100 off the price of the headset and the controllers. That means if you were to buy both together, you'd be saving $200 off the price tag from yesterday. There was a simialr deal on Black Friday where you pay full price and receive a $100 gift card, but nothing is better than money never leaving your wallet in the first place.
Pick up some newest gen Xbox One Controllers at Black Friday prices
Slightly beats the price we saw on Black Friday. This latest generation model features sturdier construction with textured grips, double the range, and wireless Bluetooth capability, which allows it to be paired to a Bluetooth-compatible PC or tablet.
31% off Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star (PS4)
Lowest price ever for this game. Gameplay is similar to Dynasty Warriors.

60% off both seasons of the awesome Rick and Morty on Blu-ray
Get 55%-60% off each season, making them the lowest prices we've seen for this animated Adult Swim sitcom. There are only two seasons worth of shows total, but fortunately Rick and Morty has been renewed for a third season.
This PS4 Slim Uncharted 4 Bundle deal should have expired already
The $249 Playstation 4 Slim discount was supposed to expire on the 24th (it's back up to $300 almost everywhere else). If you're still looking to pick up a console, i.e. for the new Horizon Zero Dawn game, you might want to snag the last of these deals before it's too late.
Up to BONUS $500 Dell Gift Card with 4K HDTVs
New deals added for the week of 2/26. All the prices below are more or less what you would find on Amazon, but with the benefit of a sizeable Dell Gift Card that isn't included at Amazon or anywhere else. The gift card can be used on just about anything sold from Dell Home or Dell Small Business. Depending on the size of your gift card, this means you can potentially snag a PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro, Xbox One S, laptop, video card, etc. The gift card comes within 2 weeks after your TV ships and carries a 90-day expiration.

Use code "XFFQ$2R6F92JX?" to take a whopping $465 off the retail price. This laptop doesn't just do gaming, it's powerful enough to serve as a great video or graphics editing workstation. The GeForce GTX 960M video card, although an older model, is still pretty good at playing games up to 1080p. Other notable specs include a 4K 3840×2160 touchscreen display, 6th generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and dual storage drives (1TB hard drive + 128GB SSD).
Not for gaming, but a super low price! Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Intel Core i3-5005U 15.6″ Win7 Pro Laptop for $279

IGN readers seem to looooove Protein Powder!
Here's a really cheap deal on 2lbs of EAS 100% Pure Whey Protein Powder (in Vanilla, yum). Initial cost is $14.53. Get 25% off by clipping the coupon on the product page (may automatically be applied for you). Get an extra 5% off and Free Shipping when you use Amazon "Subscribe & Save" checkout.

Memory Foam 12″ Mattresses starting at $149
For those people like myself who stay up late playing video games and still have to wake up early for work, every hour of sleep is precious. If you are willing to buy a comfortable, ergonomic chair, you should do the same with your mattress. This is one of the lowest prices we've seen for a queen-sized foam mattress (and it's not Ikea-thin either). Memory foam distributes your body weight across a large area to create that float-like sleep. In addition, the foam material is hypoallergenic, dust-mite resistant, and anti-microbial. It also flat packs in a surprisingly compact box so that it is easier and cheaper to ship and very simple to install.
Even more affordably priced, but only if you're looking for a queen
If a queen-sized mattress is what you want, here's an even cheaper memory foam mattress that will free up your wallet for other things (like the Switch)
Gaming and VR Ready! Score this Alienware 13 6th Gen Intel Core i5 Quad-Core 13.3″ Full HD 1080p Gaming Laptop w/ GeForce GTX 1060 Graphics for $1100
Although this is a high price tag for laptops in general, it's one of the lowest we've seen for a laptop equipped with a GTX 1060 video card, which is a slightly downclocked version of the desktop variant. The GTX 1060 will allow you to play just about any game currently available at high settings on the 1080p display. It is also the minimum video card I would personally recommend for someone thinking of pairing a Rift or Vive to a laptop.
The laptop also boasts a 13.3″ 1080p IPS panel display, 8GB of memory, 180GB solid state drive, and Killer 802.11AC WiFi networking.
Recommended for Gaming! Dell Inspiron 15 Intel Core i5-7300HQ Quad-Core 15.6″ 1080p Laptop with GeForce GTX 1050 Graphics for $800
The GTX 1050 graphics card is faster than a desktop-class AMD RX 460 and is DirectX 12 compatible. It should easily be able to run any game on the 1080p display. You also get a robust 8GB of memory and a 1TB hard drive. This is currently the lowest price for a GTX 1050 Ti laptop.
Sony Playstation VR Headset Back in Stock at Select Vendors
There's no discount here so the PSVR is still at $400. However, quantities are usually limited (sold out on Amazon and Best Buy) and we noticed a few vendors have restocked. Here's the short list:
March's Loot Crate Theme is "Primal" – get 10% off
Loot Crate sends you a "mystery crate" packaged with 4-6 items plus a t-shirt every month based on a particular theme. March's theme is "Primal" and will include items from X-Men, Overwatch, and Predator. Expires 3/19.
Considering a career in the gaming industry? There's no risk in trying out some $19 courses at Udemy

(Above) What the space at Marina City looked like in February, less than two months after the previous tenant, BIN 36, moved out. (Click on images to view larger versions.)
By Steven Dahlman
31-Aug-16 Nearly a year after it was announced, work will likely start soon on a Japanese steakhouse in the southwest corner of Hotel Chicago.
A building permit was issued on Monday for renovation of a 12,730 square foot space at Marina City in River North that will be used by Katana.
Innovative Dining Group, based in Los Angeles, announced the new location on September 14, 2015, saying Chicago was selected over sites considered in New York and Miami. At the time, the company believed the restaurant would open this summer. Reached on Tuesday, IDGs marketing director, Jillian Peterson Dukes, said the Chicago location should open next February or March.
Vacant since December 20, 2014, the space was previously used by BIN 36, a restaurant that moved to a slightly smaller space on North Jefferson Street in the West Loop last year.
According to the building permit, the estimated cost of the build-out, which will include new windows, is $650,000. The architect is Jonathan Splitt. LG Construction + Development Group is the general contractor.
A patio was recently built for Katana by LaSalle Hotel Properties, the real estate investment trust that owns Hotel Chicago and most of the commercial property at Marina City.
Katana will offer modern Japanese food grilled on bamboo skewers over an open flame. The restaurant will have a sushi bar and offer a selection of premium sake.

Work continues on breakfast place on other side of hotel
Meanwhile, on the State Street side of Marina City, work continues on the newest location of Yolk, the founder and CEO of which was hoping to be serving breakfast to tourists by now.
Taki Kastanis is leasing a 3,781 square foot space in the southeast corner of Hotel Chicago. LaSalle built a patio for Yolk, too, along with a special entrance from the hotel lobby.

things to Consider before Choosing The Best Portable Tire Inflator
LCD Screen:

When you are purchasing a portable tire inflator, you should check this feature carefully. Using the feature you can get some additional advantage on your air compression process. Most of the popular manufacturer provides this feature on their tire inflator.
Gauge Accuracy and Liability:
Accuracy while filling a tire with air is always important. People want the best accuracy on their tire air compression process. Most of the tire inflator can't provide proper accuracy on tire inflation process. Thus you need to confirm gauge accuracy and liability while purchasing a tire inflator. You can read the user manual to understand and identify a good tire inflator.
Inflation Speed:
Inflation speed ensures how fast an inflator will fill the air in a wheel. You should check this feature carefully when you are purchasing a tire inflator. Reading the user manual is best option to understand the inflation speed. It's measured in Psi. You should check and find a good inflator that can ensure best inflation speed on duty.
Power Cord:
Power cord is another important part of a tire inflator. If you are searching for a long lasting tire inflator, you should check the power cord of your tire inflator properly. Because this will ensure best power supply on your machine. If you don't pick an inflator that has a good power cord, you won't able to identify a good tire inflator for you. Type of power cord is also important. There two types of power cord available. You have to pick perfect type power cord from AC & DC power cord. You can keep AC-DC converter as well.
Nozzle Attachments:
Nozzle attachment is another good feature that you should care. Few tire inflators provides nozzles as a package, but few do not provide. So you have to identify a tire inflator that comes up with nozzles attached. Because purchasing nozzles separately is a hassle for many people. You should check this feature when you are purchasing your portable tire inflator.
Noise Level:
If you are inflator user already or noticed someone to use an inflator, you might notice inflator produce noise when they use it. Sometimes it's tolerable and sometimes the noise level is very high.

Identify the Current Tire Pressure:
You have to identify the current tire pressure before you start using the inflator. This will help you know how much air needed to inflate the tire enough. You can use a pressure gauge to measure current air pressure level. Most of the modern tire inflator has built-in pressure gauge available that will help you regarding the issue.
Remove the Caps from Valve Stems:
Your second duty is to remove the caps of valve stems. This will help you prepare the tire to deliver enough air on it. Keep the caps in safe place, because you have to add it again. So you should store it in a safe place.
Use the Tire Inflator:

Attach the Inflator:
You have to pull the air hose near to your tire valve. Then you have to attach the hose with the tire. Hold it and start the tire inflator. Most of the inflator has a screw that will hold the hose.
Monitor the Tire Pressure:
Now your duty is monitoring the inflation system carefully. Though most of the inflator now uses automatic inflation system. If you are using digital air inflator, you have to set everything and it will stop automatically after the process complete.
Keep the Tire Cold:
You have to ensure the heat of the tire. Try to keep the tire cold when you are using the tire inflator. This will help to prevent unwanted tire burst or damage. Try not to use a tire that is overheated or avoid heat places as well. You can find a shade and make the tire cold before you perform air compression system on a tire.

College Football Preview – November 19
The Louisville loss to Houston Thursday night likely costs the Cardinals a shot to make the College Football Playoff. It may also have cost Lamar Jackson an opportunity to win the Heisman. More than anything, the beatdown ad the hands of Houston means Ohio State and Michigan both have increased their playoff chances.
If the Buckeyes beat Michigan next weekend, Penn State will advance to the Big 10 title game, likely against Wisconsin. A 9-2 Badgers team vs. a 9-2 Nittany Lions will likely pitt the 5th and 6th ranked teams in the poll, however a 10-1 Ohio State team could make the playoff over the conference champ.
What about Michigan? The loss last week to Iowa hurt them more than they realize. Should they beat Ohio State, they go to the Big 10 title game to play Wisconsin. A win there, and they are in. A loss in Columbus OR in the Big 10 title game, and they are toast.
Other teams who benefited from the Cardinals loss Thursday include Washington (#6), who end the season with Arizona State today, and then at Washington State on Black Friday. If they wrap up things at 11-1, the conference title game against USC or Colorado will be their shot to win their way in.
Oklahoma also has an outside chance, as the 2 loss Sooners can win out and hope the Big 12 gets an opportunity to be represented. While Bob Stoops and company need help, they first need to handle their own business vs. #14 West Virginia tonight.
Heading into today's action, the key games to watch are below.
12PM EST Kickoff
#2. Ohio State vs. Michigan State
Urban Meyer will have his team charged up, reminding them the Spartans cost Ohio State their playoff spot last year. Buckeyes win big.
#7 Wisconsin vs. Purdue
The Badgers win today keeps their slim playoff hopes alive.
3:30PM EST Kickoff
#22 Washington State vs. #10 Colorado
A fascinating game for the casual Pac 12 supporter, as a sound Colorado win keeps the conference strength of schedule high, however if Washington State remains unbeaten in conference play, the Apple Cup becomes must see TV.
7PM EST Kickoff
#4 Clemson vs. Wake Forest
The Tigers dodged a major bullet, as their loss came on the perfect week (everyone else lost, too.). Expect Deshaun Watson to bounce back, and Clemson to put this one away early.
8PM EST Kickoff
#9 Oklahoma vs. #14 West Virginia
As noted, the Sooners AND the Big 12 need Oklahoma to win tonight. Realistically, they are the only team that has a chance to make the playoff.
10:30PM EST Kickoff
#13 USC vs. UCLA
All week, the Trojans have been hearing how great they are after their beatdown of Washington. One surprising finish could end up coming here tonight. UCLA would love nothing more than to ruin any hope of USC playing in the Pac 12 title game. Here is their chance.

Here's a thought. About a month ago, I wondered out loud that whether the defensive sector rally could be better characterized as the outperformance of Value over Growth stocks (see A Value rally, or a defensive sector rally?)
Now that cyclical (and growth oriented) sectors have surged relative to the defensive sectors, the Value stocks have similarly pulled back against Growth stocks. The chart below of the Russell 1000 Value Index relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index shows that the relative uptrend of Value vs. Growth is still intact.
If my analysis of Value vs. Growth is the more appropriate framework, then it may be time to start buying Value now (and it may represent the third way in the cyclical vs. defensive sector debate of whether the cyclical rebound is a fakeout or true revival).

China hit back last night with $50Bn in tariffs against US exports like cars, chemicals and soy beans along with 106 categories of American goods that are exported into China and, more specifically, goods that are exported from Republican-dominated states, where lawmakers might be expected to have some influence with President Trump, presumably to get him to back down from the latest trade demands.
"China has never succumbed to external pressure – external pressure will only make the Chinese people more focused on economic development. China's attitude is clear, we don't want a trade war because a trade war would hurt the interests of both countries. As the Chinese saying goes, it is only polite to reciprocate." – Trade Minister Zhu.
"Only polite to reciprocate" is unusually dark and direct. Unlike the U.S. president, who salts his speech with off-the-cuff remarks about foreign policy, Chinese officials don't usually digress with clever comments. Trump has undone years of hard-fought civility in discourse that was meant to avoid exactly the kind of economic catastrophe he is now causing.
Wei Jianguo, a former vice minister of commerce, said the key to understanding China's response is "same proportion, same scale and same intensity. That means we will retaliate with the same strength," he said. "Whatever the total value of trade the United States targets, we will target the same amount. If it's in the form of tariffs, we will do the same."
The escalated Chinese response is exactly what we predicted for our Members. In fact, last Tuesday (3/27), right in our Morning Report, I said:
The markets are back up to our weak bounce lines*(see yesterday's report)*though I think we'll be using them as shorting lines this morning as the Dollar is recovering quickly, up 0.6% and that's bound to put a bit of pressure on the markets as they finally hit some resistance. Dow (/YM) 24,350 is my favorite short at the moment, with tight stops over the line and 6,850 on the Nasdaq (/NQ) will make a fun shorting line as well***.
Why short? Well, nothing at all has changed other than it's POSSIBLE that China and the US will have a trade agreement instead of a trade war but, other than that – all the other stuff that caused the market to fall off it's highs all month haven't gone away – Thursday's trade talk just made them worse and now they are not worse – they are the same – not better either.*
In yesterday morning's post, we played for the weak bounce back to 6,500 but we failed it intra-day, which kept us very skeptical of the low-volume "rally" the pundits were celebrating last night. As I noted in our Live Member Chat Room that back on the 23rd, regarding my comments from the Live Trading Webinar:
As I said yesterday, we will probably get a bounce due to China's no or mild response but that's only because China doesn't rush to respond to things.
We had the initial, small retaliation on the 27th and now we have round two that brings China's tariffs up to match Trump's but let's not forget there are 180 other contries that also may decide to place tariffs on American products in retailiation – this is just the effect of China joining the trade wars with our blowhard President.
And who benefits? Why, Russia of course, who have been seeking closer trade relations with China and now that Comrade Trump has single-handedly undone the relationship building we've done with China dating back to Nixon – Putin is happy to step in and fill the $50Bn trade gap as many of the things that will no longer be supplied by Trump Country can easily be produced in Mother Russa instead.
Robert Mueller needs to stop looking for evidence that Trump colluded with Russia on the election and start looking at the very obvious evidence that Trump is colluding with Russia to destroy the US economy, as well as our hard-won standing as the Global Leader – that ship has already sailed at the last G20 Meeting, where Trump disgraced us on the International Stage and now they are dismantling the economy and plunging the country into insurmountable debt and economic chaos.
Meanwhile, despite OPEC's lowest output in a year, Oil prices are tumbling back to $62.50 after that ridiculous pre-holiday run-up that also sent Gasoline (/RB) to $2.03 but back to $1.96 now – a drop of $2,940 per contract!
Oil Futures (/CL) falling from $65 to $62.50 is good for $2,500 per contract and, with over 500M FAKE contracts open at the NYMEX, we're talking over $1Bn lost so far this week – DESPITE Trump's rolling back the CAFE Standards (mileage requirements) on US Autos.
If $62.50 fails, look for /CL to test $60 (another $2,500 gain on the shorts) and for /RB to hit $1.90, good for $1,680 gains per short contract. Keep tight stops above and they are both great risk/reward plays.
Speaking of US Autos, good sales numbers rallied the market yesteray but, of course, March has 3 more days (10%+) than February – so of course we have stronger numbers!
Speaking of strong numbers, or lack thereof, depsite MASSIVE money printing and MASSIVE debt accumulation, Japan's Industrial Production numbers are still lower than they were 10 years ago. After falling 6.8% in January, the February figures only bounced back 4.1% and the year/year gain is just 1.4%, the wost level since October of 2016 and pretty much the opposite of the effect Abe was claiming just weeks ago.
This is the World's 3rd largest economy folks and it's stalling – it would be good to pay attention to these things! Failing Monday's lows (2,550 on /ES) or failing again at the weak bounce lines will lead us to add a layer of additional hedges as we prepare for the drop to S&P 2,400.
I don't think we'll toss off the escalating trade war and Trump's war on Amazon continues as well and, if he can go after them – who's next? One of the benefits of living and investing in the US is that you don't expect the Government to interfere in the oridinary course of business other than through the courts when they violate the rules but this corrupt, irrational, unpredictable, untruthful Administration has thrown out the rule book (and the rule of law) and, last I heard – the markets don't like uncertainty.
Let's be careful out there!

Athena funding ends
By Chris Schechter
Faced with budgetary concerns, MIT administrators are now evaluating the future of Project Athena, whose funding ended after eight years on June 30, 1990.
The experimental computer system was initiated in 1982, thanks to grants from IBM and Digital Equipment Corporation. Since then, it has fulfilled most of its goals, said Earllcorrect M. Murman, director of Project Athena and a professor of aeronautics and astronautics.
According to Murman, the network is now heavily used, with 67 percent of all graduate students and 75 percent of undergraduate students currently holding accounts.
Some of the IBM RT workstations have become obsolete, and the problem of financing a future workstation renewal has arisen, Murman said.
Needs have partially been met already with the installation of DECstation 3100s and IBM
PS/2s, but a full-scale phasing out of the older models in favor of more advanced machines is unlikely in the near future, he said.
The destiny of Project Athena is now in the hands of Dean for Undergraduate Education Margaret L. A. MacVicar '65, who is head of the Committee on Academic Computation.
Murman said that MacVicar is considering three alternatives: shutting down a limited number of workstations; changing the mix of hardware by introducing other types of machines, such as Apple Macintosh systems; or finding sufficient funding to maintain the network in its present form.
Faculty, students and staff members await her decision.

Volcano Island Countdown Review
With the cold weather here and so much rain in our area, we have hunkered down indoors. It's just too yucky outside right now to go anywhere. One way we have been keeping ourselves entertained has been playing board games. Volcano Island Countdown is one new game we recently received and it was a hit!
Bridget and I had a lively round of Volcano Island last weekend and it was both fun and intense! It's different from most games we have played because you aren't playing as an individual, but as a team. Your goal is to find the four Guardian Totems before the Volcano blows. If the players can get all the totems in time, they win. If the Volcano explodes before all four totems are retrieved, then the evil Tiki wins. The Tiki is an orange figure who stalks the game board and whom you have to avoid or risk being captured.
Bridget and I decided to play as beginners and dealt out 7 tool cards each. You can increase the level of difficulty by dealing out less cards, but since we are newbies, I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.
When you roll the die, you can either get a number or see the Tiki symbol. When you roll a number, you can move in any direction up to the number that you rolled. So if I rolled a 4, I could move 1 to 4 spaces in any direction. If you roll the Tiki symbol, you move the orange Tiki character instead of your own marker. The Tiki can only move on the Tiki squares and only in a clockwise direction. If the Tiki moves past a marker, then that person is captured and has to go to the Tiki Temple until someone rolls a Tiki symbol on the die.
All the while this is happening, the counter is ticking and the Volcano is playing a tribal sounding drumbeat. Bridget asked if we could turn the Volcano off, but I said we couldn't because then we won't know when the game ends.
Besides avoiding the Tiki character, the players' goal is to make their way to the Obstacle Card location and use their Tool cards to complete the task. If they have the tools, they can complete the obstacle, and see if they were successful in retrieving a Guardian token which is found underneath obstacle.
The game is fast-paced as you race against the clock and finish everything before the volcano blows. You have about 30 minutes to get everything done. Bridget and I didn't beat the Volcano though and it blew up. However, with time, I'm sure we will get better at the game and be able to beat the clock.
Volcano Island Countdown is recommended for ages 8+. Bridget had no problem understanding the rules and playing the game so I feel it was age appropriate for her and one she could play on her own with her friends. It's SRP is $24.99 and it's available in Canada only at Kmart, Target, Toys R Us and Walmart. Visit Spin Master Games to learn more!

A Five-Leaf System member which prides itself on being totally integrated into its natural surroundings – an oasis by a salt lake, where time stops and man is closer to nature.
Source: The Adrère Amellal set into the rock – http://www.adrereamellal.net
The silent darkness of the western desert brings forth nature's authenticity and the starry sky rules over the softly lit beeswax candled internal spaces carved out of the rock.
All forty rooms are hand-built and unique, blending into the landscape, doorways punched into the stone, open passageways to cool evening breezes, alcoves set into niches with small windows set back into thick walls.
A mixture of mud, sand and sun-dried salt make for the dressing of the walls and palm trunks cast the ceilings and local craftsmanship shines through exquisitely embroidered cloth.
Sitting on cushions spread over the desert sand or sitting on local crafted furniture in a grotto studded with salt crystals, one can savour organic food grown in the grounds and let time stand still.

"How about pins? How many pins are bought by folks "just in case" and never get placed? I'm guessing that number is up over 90% these days. I've placed maybe a half dozen hammered placements, and own about 30 pins. I have about 40 heads, and have yet to place a single one."

Hi folks,
just noticed a poorly described (and therefore quite invisible) Smallbrook Katie with chassis on Ebay UK. No bids yet, starting at £49.00. Postage too much to Australia. Loco appears to be painted a little roughly, might benefit from stripping and a repaint.

The same seller has some intriguing hand-built models, also badly described, which could be O-16.5 bu look larger. The Fiji Hudswell Clarke loco (freelance???) seems to be quite nice

Good luck spending your Christmas money. Go for these if you want, as I say, postage kills it for me to Australia

The Choir
The St Hilary Choir sings at many events around the Vale. (It is not the church choir, although it has close links with the church).
I is well established, but always has space for new members (especially tenors and basses). It rehearses on Tuesday evenings. The repertoire includes hymns, folk songs, light classics and songs from musicals. Chris Mowat, the Choirmaster, can be contacted on 01446 771601.
Bell ringing in St Hilary
Ringing at three churches in the Cowbridge parish is arranged by a Parish band, which moves around three churches (St Hilary / Holy Cross, Cowbridge / St John the Baptist, Llanblethian) for practice nights, and for Sunday service ringing. A Parish Ringing Master, who works in co-operation with three Local Tower Captains, directs the ringing.
St. Hilary Church tower contains a ring of six, consisting of Rudhall bells dating from 1742, which were recast into a ring of five in 1906 and a treble which was dedicated in March 1999.
Visitors are always welcome to join in Sunday ringing and practice nights. Enquiries are also welcome from potential new members. Contact Alf Charles through the Parish Office – click on the Church services and contact link in the menu on the left.

Absolutely Beautiful!
I am an Archaeologist!
I have always found archaeology to be a fascinating subject. It requires imagination and an ability to suspend reality as we know it and recreate an alternative universe elsewhere where these people, animals, houses existed. It requires courage to be able to dig up a tooth and wonder if it was a baby tooth or a teenager who pulled it out or the teeth of an old man who lost it when chewing on that piece of fish. It requires creating these relationships and giving them a place and a time to exist in.
I have always found archeology to be a fascinating subject and wondered how it would be to be one, until I realized I had a bit of archaeologist in me. I have spent all my life as I know it trying to recreate friendships and relationships that I have lost. Given that my family moved quite a bit, I have become adept at feeling comfortable with change. I realize now how desperately I keep hanging on to certain relationships to counter the physical change. I have a few friends, a couple of really close ones who will pick up the phone whenever I call and yet I have spent my time trying to hold on to vestiges of friendships I had when I was a kid. I don't blame my parents for moving…I would never do that and yet when I think of the relationships that could have been, it makes me want to turn back time.
I was quite young then, I had spent 7 years of my life in one school, developing friends in a way only a 8 – 10 year old can. I never realized how much I miss those people, until a decade later when I went back. In my mind, nothing had changed, everything remained still until I came back and restarted my life as I imagined it to be and yet it never did. I thought if I behaved like nothing changed, then maybe things would take the shape of my reality and yet it never really did. When a relationship didn't work as I thought it would, I just manage to create a universe where it does. I do not know, which hurts most – my creation of a reality and seeing how pathetic I can sometimes be, or the actual reality which just plain hurts.
It might seem quite silly, even sad. Sometimes I tell myself to grow up and get over it. But you know, I am not sure I can. There are something in life which will always keep haunting us. Certain moments, certain events and certain people will keep coming up again and again. There are very few things I regret. I am not someone who keeps looking back and regretting decisions I have made. But this, I do. It wasn't borne out a decision I made and yet I feel responsible.
I have always wondered if an archaeologist saw himand said, "Damn! We would have been amazing together" You know, when you see people and immediately know you would be the best of friends for ages to come, if only you had the guts to know each other more…
I have a couple of amazing friends, and I wouldn't exchange them for anything in the world. This is not a sob story, it is just me imagining myself to be an archaeologist.
Love in the time of optimism.
There is this line in "Shantaram" where the narrator says "Optimism is the first cousin of love, and it's exactly like love in three ways: it's pushy, it has not real sense of humour, and it turns up where you least expect it." I liked that line.
Sex and the City
When you are sitting in the middle of a small theatre, alone amidst 20 – 30 other people all of whom are not alone, you see more of a movie than you thought you would. When there is no chatter, or when there is no one prodding you every five minutes to ask for popcorn or ask what something really meant, you realize there is actually more in the movie than initially thought.
Sex and New York, what is unique and common here. I think it is that certain self centred nature that comes into play in both. New York is a very self centered city. It is always about the uniqueness of the city and the way it manages to dominate everything in sight. Sex is very self centered too, I mean how many times do you think, hmm..let him/her enjoy this, let it not be about how I want it….That is what I saw when I saw the movie. I am taking about all this in a good way. There is a scene in the end where Samantha realizes what she really wants and that was the most beautiful part of the movie for me. It was an acknowledgement of her needs and wants and her taking full responsibility for what she feels. She was a complete person all by herself and does not depend on someone else to complete her and maybe that is why I liked her role. It is so easy to slip into the role of being a doormat and constantly live to serve others. Isn't it common to here "Oh, I am just happy doing this for you". I don't think that is real love…giving away all your love totally and basing all your happiness on that love is dangerous to say the least. A little bit of introspection and acknowledgement that I need something never will hurt.
You realize when you are married how much this doormat syndrome is praised. One hears "Oh, Are you cooking everything your husband likes?" from aunts who just have to know what is going on, or "Make sure he eats and sleeps well" to sometimes the most obscure "Are you keeping him happy?" I have not heard the last one personally, but know some who did…Isn't anyone going to ask me "Is he keeping me happy?" or Is he doing his share of chores?"
That is perhaps why I felt happy doing this alone today, just me, all alone in the theater watching the lives of 40 somethings and how they attempt to fall in love, with themselves and with others on the big screen
The Shrinking wallet!
Apparently, your waist is not the only thing that takes a beating on diet plans. The Wallet thins down too. Well! DUH!!
I am all for a proportioned body, which has already made me a shrinking minority in this country, but this need to fit into a jean that is tailored for a bamboo shoot. Good Grief! I wish I could spoon feed a huge brownie to every star out there. This was also in the news. This attitude is so dangerous that it is not funny any more. People who have just had children losing 20 odd pounds in matter of weeks, exercising for 3 – 4 hrs a day. Why do you even bother having kid? I usually get the reaction that it is the media and all one has to do is ignore these messages and everything will be alright. But the truth is, this screwed up body image is a subtle message that pervades a lot more spaces than just MTV or celebrity magazines. I exercise to lose weight I gained, I am not denying it. But I also love eating…I made sugar cookies yesterday and wiped out about 3 cookies worth of dough :D. But when someone like her who makes grown women nuts says this, but also says she is a chain smoker and smokes in front of everyone including her kid, you have to take a step back and wonder what goes through these people's mind. I mean is this really necessary. The media is a huge source of influence here and it affects people. The obsession with cellulite and body shapes and creams and gels, drives one nuts. I still have no clue what cellulite is by the way. When they show a photo of a bikini wearing someone and point out cellulite, all I can see is a shaped butt and leg….It is eye rolling craziness.
I have been to places where the only talk centers around shapes, sizes and how much to lost by eating what…Are we suddenly running out of topics to talk about? Maybe, I am just in the wrong room, or with the wrong people. I don't know. But as much as I want to lose weight, I also know that it is not a reflection of who I am or what I do. I'd rather have a full wallet, a satisfied stomach and a smile knowing that the next icecream bowl is just a few hours away 🙂
I have a new mantra when I shop these days, "Oh My God! I definitely don't need this that badly." Blame it on the high prices, recession, ridiculously expensive groceries, whatever, I am learning a new thing. I am learning to simplify my life more than I ever thought would be possible. I am not giving up everything and moving to the forest, but I have realized that half the things that I assumed would make my life just perfect are too darn expensive. I'd rather be less perfect than guilty of splurging on things I don't really need. From donating items around the house to making lists, to making sure everything I have in the fridge can be used up, simplifying is what I am into now. Maybe it is the place, maybe it is the really high level of consumer driven everything around here shopping is more of an obsession than I have known. I don't remember shopping till my feet hurt when I was growing up. Our biggest shopping would probably be before Diwali and my grandmother would go and buy everything. Itwould be exciting for us because we would get to see all the new dresses and stuff. Other than that every month, my grandfather used to take us to the big grocery store in town – a very stately and somber Rangaswamy chettiar and sons to shop for monthly groceries. We could pick any chocolate or icecream we wanted and wait near the cashier who was also the owner with grandpa, while the list was handed out and a lady would scurry around picking out things. The best part would come later when he would take us to Orchard and buy us a big mug of fresh fruit juice. That was that. Things have changed now, it would be a bit stupid on my part if I wanted to expect the same now, here, miles away from home. But thinking about it I realized how it was in the little things I gained happiness and how it took so little effort and very little shopping to keep me happy. Don't mistake me, now that I am used to it I cannot live without my iPod, books, phone and computer but everything else I can pare down. But everything else maybe I can. Atleast I want to try.
That will be this weeks' word: Simplify!

My 2017 Golden (Globes) Moment/
Photography / Makeup: Madison Dizon
Over the weekend I went to my FAVORITE after party of the whole year-- the Golden Globes! Heading the parties for the Globes is one of the most surreal moments because you're literally arm in arm with all of your favorite actors, directors, producers, wardrobe stylists, and other array of your favorite celebs all in one vicinity. And not the mention, you're surrounded face-to-face with some of the best fashion you'll see all year! So of course, my own Golden Globes moment just HAD to be up to par and #RedCarpetWorthy. When I was trying to think up what to wear for the occasion, I thought-- gown? black? red? simple? What do I go for? But then, I came across this ASILIO dress and it was truly the definition of what you call "love at first sight" because I instantly saw my name ALL over it. Fancy but SO FUN, this became the perfect look for my Golden Globes moment and completely screamed Fashionlaine! <3

NTM concerned over "massacres of trees" in urban areas including Gozo
|Email item
|Print item
"The recent reports of massacres of trees in urban areas," including one site in Gozo, has been highlighted by Nature Trust – FEE Malta.
In a statement this morning the eNGO voiced its concern over "the recent reports of massacres of trees in urban areas," including 14 Mulberry trees in Ghajn Qatet Street, Victoria, Gozo, a Holm Oak tree just outside the Upper Barrakka in Valletta, and the iconic Carob tree in Villa Forte Garden in Lija. The latter has a planning application which had been halted (PA 4852/16).
NTM argued that "at a time when both local reports and reports from the European Union show that Malta has high levels of Carbon Dioxide and that air quality is low, the removal of trees will only lead to a further decline in air quality and more respiratory problems."
It pointed out that "trees act to mitigate such problems and help in the reduction of air pollution and carbon sequestration from the air, besides also reducing the amount of water going into drains."
The same road after the trees had been removed – NTMNTM continued by saying that it hopes that investigations will be carried out "as to why such trees have been cut, and whether such actions were, in fact, legal or otherwise."
It questioned why the carob tree in Lija was cut down. "It is about time that law enforcement is taken seriously on environmental issues and that the respective authorities that have been set up to safeguard our natural heritage take adequate action," said NTM.
"Over the years when the Maltese Islands were occupied by various civilisations, the Maltese Islands have lost numerous trees, and now the few that remain are also being destroyed," it said.
This can be witnessed in many projects, including national ones like road networks and unsustainable projects that are mushrooming everywhere, stated NTM.
The eNGO went on to suggest incorporating a unit on soft landscaping in the new Infrastructure Malta agency being proposed.
"Trees not only help in mitigating air pollution and reducing the carbon footprint, but are also important in improving the social and mental well-being and aesthetic value of the area."
NT-FEE Malta concluded by saying "that it is ironic that while MSDEC is attempting to increase trees, others are destroying them."

The Graduate Association for Food Studies has published a review of my Oil for Food book, saying that
"The extremely well-researched book takes a historical and political economic approach to examine food security in Gulf countries at a regional and national level. […] This book adds to the dearth of food-focused books about the Middle East. It does an excellent job of connecting disparate strains of political and economic policies, organizations, and actions into a coherent narrative. Despite the book's focus on larger government-instituted policies, it does not fail to recognize the importance of more local desires of people near and on agro-investment lands in developing countries. The book also provides valuable insight into the historical and psychological reasons for a fear of food insecurity in the Gulf."
