One of the most popular and spectacular garden perennials are herbaceous peonies. Grown first in Japan many years ago, they come in many colors and flower shapes. Peonies grow best in cool climates with chilly winters, rich soil and good drainage. They like a lot of sun, and because they can grow quite large they will need space. A healthy plant will last many years and give you much enjoyment. The best thing about peonies is that they are easy to care for and usually only need light pruning and fall cleanup.
Plant peonies early in the fall, away from large trees or shrubs, so they do not have to compete for nutrients and root space.
Peonies grow thick and lush, so you can also lightly prune, trim and deadhead during the spring and summer to improve air circulation.
When deadheading, cut off the flowers to the next lower leaf because this will conserve their energy and keep them from making seeds.
Ants love peony blossoms. But they are neither beneficial nor harmful, so there is no need to spray them.
Peonies should only be transplanted or divided when they become extremely crowded, as they do not respond well to transplanting.
Choose your initial planting location carefully with space in mind.
New peony plants may not bloom for a year or two until they become established, so be patient and later you will be rewarded with many gorgeous blooms.

As an avid football fan, I spend every weekend watching hours of NFL action. Any football fan will tell you they love to see the big hits. I'm no different. In watching this weekend's games, I found myself wondering exactly how hard do they hit and how fast are these athletes moving when they deliver these devastating blows? I did some research on average weight and speed stats for various positions for athletes performing at the NFL combine and used these in our kinematic and Newtonian equations to find out for myself. (Note, for ease of calculation, I've ignored wind resistance and assumed constant acceleration. All calculations are completed assuming 40yards of running distance.)
Cornerbacks: While not the biggest guys on the field, corners make up for their lack in size with blazing speed. Average 40yd times for cornerbacks in the past 5 years at the combine clock in at 4.55seconds. Using the kinematic equation Δx=V°t+½at2 (again assuming constant acceleration) I found that the average NFL corner can accelerate at 3.56m/s2. Using the equation V=V°+at I found that at the end of the 40 yards, corners are running at an average speed of 16.2m/s or 36.2mi/hr. With an average mass of 87.5kg, these corners can deliver a force of impact of 312N (after a 40yard running start, that is) (using the equation F=ma).
Linebackers: These big boys rely on their size to punish running backs and receivers unlucky enough to find themselves in the way of the oncoming pain train. Average 40yd times for linebackers in the past 5 years at the combine clock in at 4.77seconds. Using the same equations as above, I found that the average NFL linebacker can accelerate at 3.25m/s2. At the end of the 40yds, 'backers are traveling at an average speed of 15.5m/s or 34.7mi/hr. With an average mass of 109kg, 'backers plow into the offense with a force of 354N.
Safeties: The last line of defense. These gifted athletes averaged a 40yd time of 4.62seconds over the past 5 years at the combine. Using this time, I found that safeties can accelerate at 3.46m/s2. At the end of the 40yds, safeties are traveling an average speed of 16.0m/s or 35.8mi/hr. With an average mass of 94.8kg, safeties run over the competition with a force of 328N.
Needless to say, I don't think I'd want to be on the wrong end of an NFL defender moving at full speed.

28 May 2020 - Article
by Jeanne R. Solomon and Mark Tice This week's Corporate news roundup includes information regarding the widening geographic net cast by FinCEN's review of all-cash real estate purchases in NYC, Florida, California and Texas. The news roundup also includes summaries of the CFTC's proposed expansion of registration exemptions for certain asset managers acting as intermediaries for non-U.S. persons, and temporary IRS rules permitting partnerships to opt in early to a new partnership tax audit regime: IRS PERMITS EARLY APPLICATION OF NEW PARTNERSHIP AUDIT RULES UNDER BIPARTISAN BUDGET ACT OF 2015 The IRS has released temporary regulations, effective August 5, 2016, that permit partnerships to opt in early to the new IRS partnership tax audit regime enacted in November 2015 under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. The 2015 audit regime generally provides for tax liability to be assessed at the partnership (instead of the partner) level for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The new rules apply to partnerships with over 100 partners (or to partnerships with fewer partners if any partner is a trust or partnership), with smaller partnerships being eligible to elect out of the new rules by making an annual election and notifying their partners thereof. Under the recent temporary regulations, partnerships (and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships) that are notified of an upcoming audit may elect to have the 2015 audit regime apply to any partnership taxable year beginning after November 2, 2015. Partnerships that choose to make such election will not be permitted to revoke the election without IRS consent. For more information, click here. FINCEN BROADENS ITS SCRUTINY OF ALL-CASH REAL ESTATE PURCHASES TO ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS IN NYC, FLORIDA, CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) recently expanded the geographic scope of an earlier order (a Geographic Target Order, or GTO) that requires U.S. title insurance companies to identify the individuals behind "shell companies" that are used to conduct all-cash real estate purchases. FinCEN's original January 2016 GTO was directed at title insurance companies involved in all-cash real estate transactions in Manhattan and Miami, with purchase prices in excess of $3 million and $1 million, respectively. The original GTO was introduced to address concerns that individuals engaged in money laundering schemes may use limited liability companies or other "opaque" structures to hide their ill-gotten funds in the luxury real estate market. FinCEN justified its recent expansion of the GTO to cover additional geographic areas by citing the original GTO's success in helping law enforcement identify possible criminal activity by the beneficial owners of shell companies. The GTO now targets all-cash real estate transactions in (1) all five boroughs of New York City, (2) Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, Florida, (3) Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and San Diego Counties, California and (4) Bexar County, Texas. For more information, click here. CFTC PROPOSES EXPANDED REGISTRATION EXEMPTION FOR NON-U.S. INTERMEDIARIES The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently proposed amendments to broaden registration exemptions applicable to certain non-U.S. asset managers that act as intermediaries for persons located outside the U.S. Current CFTC rules exempt such "foreign intermediaries," including futures commission merchants (FCM), introducing brokers (IB), commodity trading advisers (CTA) and commodity pool operators (CPO), from registration in certain instances where they act in connection with bilateral commodity transactions or transactions that are subject to the rules of a designated contract market (DCM) or a swap execution facility (SEF). To be eligible for the current exemption, (1) an intermediary must be located outside the U.S., (2) such foreign intermediary must act only on behalf of persons located outside the U.S. and (3) the relevant transaction must be submitted for clearing through a U.S.-registered FCM. Among other things, the CFTC's proposed amendments would eliminate the condition that a transaction be cleared through a U.S.-registered FCM. The CFTC indicated that the proposed change is intended to acknowledge that not all commodity interest transactions involving non-U.S. persons are subject to a clearing requirement.

I don't remember my first kiss. OK, I take that back. I remember my first kiss in kindergarten. It was on the mouth, and it involved tongue.
So I guess that makes it a first kiss. But we were in kindergarten! That he would be a guy I would have plenty of sexual experimentation with over the teen years just doesn't count. It's too ridiculous to chalk up a little tongue behind the tree when we were 5 (after watching an animated version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, I might add) as my first kiss. If that's a first kiss, they're truly overrated.
And so are all the rest of them along the way. Because as I approach 30, it's just that kiss and the first one with my now husband that I can conjure up with any detail. The rest are a blur, a list I could make during a drunken girls' night confessional, I'm sure, but it would be names only, perhaps a general timeline.
My husband surely wasn't my first "real" kiss, but his is the only one I remember in detail. The way he picked me up, the magic of anticipation, the force both gentle and full of power. The scent of the Tommy Hilfiger cologne he wore at the time still clings to my nostrils, my chest swelling with the heat of the moment. It seems right -- this is the man I married 10 years ago, after all, the man who I have a child with, the man who I consider my soulmate.
Science begs to differ. According to Sheril Kirshenbaum, a researcher out of the University of Texas and author of The Science of Kissing, you're supposed to be able to recall 90 percent of the details of your first kiss, even more than you recall of the time when you lost your virginity. Sites like The Experience Project's "I Remember My First Kiss," loaded with sappy comments like "I leaned over and.......'BOOM'......sparks and fireworks, I loved it," lend credence to her theory.
The memory is particularly strong for women, Kirshenbaum claims, who tend to appreciate the act more, although they often get less satisfaction from it than they hoped. With phrases like "never been kissed" and songs devoted to that one moment in time, it's quite possible there's nothing that's built up to quite the romanticized level of the first kiss. It's the stuff of Judy Blume novels and practicing with your Bonne Bell Lipsmacker on your bedroom mirror. Women, Kirshenbaum says, "extricate the significance of a relationship based on a single kiss."
This is where the teen version of you and today's version separate. Once upon a time you used it as the marker of whether a relationship would survive. Now you have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. You know which guy lasted a week, which guy turned out to be a mama's boy, which guy was more in love with himself. And you've forgotten not just how he likes his coffee, but that "first kiss."
I'd contend if women are likely to be less than satisfied with our very first kiss, there's no reason it should earn an automatic spot on our list of most memorable moments. If it sucked, it should be shifted right off of there. It isn't the "first kiss" of our lives that should make the memory books but the first kiss of life-changing relationships.
Do you remember you first kiss?

THANKFULLY this week we were back to normal after Jamie's sick episode. Screaming matches, running around the house butt-naked, hiding the car keys, climbing on everything, slamming doors and generally wrecking the house. Yes - Jamie was back to normal.
It's a strange feeling to watch your wee boy slowly wreck the house and actually smile about it. I was so relieved to have the wee man feeling better and even more relieved to see that Lily had managed to avoid it. This is a total miracle as usually Jamie doesn't even acknowledge that Lily exists. However, it's typical that when he's sick, Jamie is slobbering all over her blankets and stealing her toys and dummies out of her crib.
Last week would have been a good time to take out shares in Dettol. The house was honking with it but I was so worried Lily was going to catch that awful Slapped Cheek and she's still so tiny, she wouldn't have handled it as well as Jamie. Mission accomplished - until the next siege!
So after last week's handlings, it would be great to have a nice quiet week. HA!
I was looking forward to getting Jamie back to creche on Wednesday as by that stage he was climbing the walls in the house – yes literally. I had so much to do in the few hours Jamie was away and I was hoping that Lily would settle and just sleep so I could get the house clean and tidy. The reason for this was the Public Health Nurse had arranged to come to the house on Thursday to do Lily's three-month check-up. Thank God she never made an appearance last week! The house looked like something out of Beirut and with the stench of Dettol she would have thought I was trying to cover up a dead body! I thought if the kids gave me time, I would try and do as much as possible at the start of the week so that I wouldn't have as much to do. Unfortunately, I was lucky to get a shower never mind anything else!
On Wednesday morning, we had our usual rush getting ready but we were actually out the door early. After dropping James off, we arrived at the creche in good time and Jamie was so excited to be going in. He did his usual shy spell when we walked in, but the girls soon got him interested with toys and told me to head on while he was busy. I walked out and peered through the wee window in the door and there was Jamie playing away, content. Excellent!
Lily had nodded-off in the car on the way home so I carefully lifted her out of the car seat and into her crib trying not to disturb her. Result! Right, on with the jobs. I have exactly 3 and a half hours to get this place ship shape, prepare dinner for tonight, feed Lily, grab a shower and wash my hair so I don't look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards. No problem…
Washing on, upstairs dusted and hoovered. Spuds peeled and dinner in the slow cooker. Three hours to go.
Downstairs toys tidied up (crammed into the cupboard), dusted and hoovered. Two hours to go.
Floors washed, me - out of the shower, hair dried and straightened. Half an hour left.
Feed Lily. DONE!
On the way back to the creche to lift Jamie, I was feeling class and accomplished. I had managed to gut the house and get more done in just over three hours than I would normally get done all week. Ok, so most of the toys and stuff lying out I managed to cram into the hall cupboard but I can sort all that out properly on Friday morning after I had got the nurses visit done and dusted!
Lily had conked out in the car again on the way to lift Jamie so I left her snoozing while I quickly ran in and collected the wee man. He had had a ball as usual. I got a huge smile and cuddle when I walked in through the door and the girls said they had been outside playing. She casually says, 'Oh he's a bit of a climber isn't he?' I smiled and said he has been known to climb occasionally. She then began to tell me that one member of staff was outside watching six kids and another member of staff just having to watch and run about after Jamie! I was mortified. At least if nothing else, I was getting my money's worth! I got Jamie out and into the car and headed for home. The poor wee soul was wrecked after his busy morning, he crashed out on the way home as well. Sorted! The house was spick and span, and both kids were out cold, I might get a chance to put my feet up for half an hour.
That afternoon I got a chance to get a bit of work done and relax with a cup of tea and watch a bit of catch up TV. I would usually have more chance of winning the lottery than have moments like that so I grabbed it while I could. Naturally of course when James came home and asked what we were up too, I never mentioned that I'd spent half the day chilling. As far as he's concerned a woman's work is never done, which in fairness, it usually isn't!
The following morning, it was D-day. I had no idea when the nurse was planning on arriving, I just knew from her voicemail that she would be calling in at some point that day. So with that at the back of my mind, I was running about after Jamie so the house looked like Disney on Ice for when she arrived.
After lunch, I got Jamie changed and up to his room for his nap. I had just put the kettle on when the doorbell rang. Great, job done! Jamie was sleeping when the nurse arrived so I could concentrate on Lily and speaking to the nurse without the wee man tearing about the place. The nurse walked in and sat down at the kitchen table cooing at Lily who was happily lying in her bouncer. After all her checks, Lily now weighs almost a stone – just perfect. I was so happy to hear she was making great progress. So, while she was here, I thought I would ask about Jamie. I mentioned that he still wasn't really chatting yet and was it normal for him to be occasionally climbing up on the chairs and breaking the odd toy? (I didn't want to jump in with he's climbing the walls on a daily basis and destroying the house!).
The nurse advised me that yes, it was totally normal (especially for wee boys) to be climbing on everything at this stage. Also, not to be worrying about Jamie's speech just yet. As long as he understands what I am saying, he'll start chatting when he's good and ready. I replied that Jamie knows exactly what I'm saying (as when I'm roaring at him to stop licking the plates in the dishwasher or to come over to get his nappy changed - he legs it as fast as he can). I didn't mention the latter to the nurse!
Right on cue, we hear a cry from upstairs. Jamie had woken from his nap. The nurse asked if she could see him quickly before she left. 'Of course!' I tentatively replied. Oh God, please be good until she leaves!
I walked into Jamie's room and there he was standing smiling at me from his cot with no trousers on! Jesus!! I grabbed him and quickly got him dressed before walking him down the stairs. The nurse started to chat to Jamie but as usual, he did his wee shy thing and hid behind my leg. After a few moments of the nurse blethering to him, he soon came round and walked over to her smiling. She asked Jamie to bring her a toy – which he did. She asked Jamie to get his shoes – which he did. Phew! She seemed happy enough and I was so relieved Jamie had decided to be on his best behaviour in front of her.
The visit had gone so well, the nurse told me as she was walking out of the door that she wouldn't need to see Lily again until March next year and that if Jamie still wasn't saying a few words by Christmas, to give her a ring and we can talk about the next stage then, but not to be worrying as it's common enough. Aw, totally delighted! I shut the front door and nearly jumped out of my skin at the noise of an almighty crash! I turned to find Jamie lying underneath all the crap I had shoved into the hall cupboard from tidying the day before. I had forgotten to put the safety catch on the door and the wee monkey had opened the door. 'What the hell……!!!' There he was, sitting smiling and Lily roaring her head off in the background with the fright.
I couldn't help but smile with relief. Yes, relief of course that Jamie hadn't hurt himself – but more so that it happened after the bloody nurse had left!

It was 4 o'clock on Friday when my phone rang. I had just returned from the gym and my hair was a disgusting, sweaty mess. "Hello?" It was Ben, my co-worker from the VICE office in Montreal. "We've got to get down to the protest! It's going to be crazy, like super violent and shit!" I let out an audible sigh. "I had class all morning and I haven't even showered today," I said, trying to think of a viable excuse to not spend my Friday evening mingling amongst enraged anarchists. "Doesn't matter, put a hat on, grab a taxi, and meet me down here in an hour," said Ben before ending the call. A little peeved, I stuffed my DSLR in a backpack, withdrew the last $20 from my bank account, and made my way over to Place-des-Arts where the protest was set to begin.
Immediately upon arrival, I noticed the disorderliness of the scene. The protest had already begun but there was no clear marching route, just random clusters of people making their way down side streets as riot police attempted to restrict them. Because the organizers of the protest failed to abide by Quebec's controversial Bill 78 aka Bylaw P-6 (that requires demonstrators to submit their itinerary to police eight hours before marching) the protest was declared illegal. Usually when this happens, Montreal police permit protesters to mill about for quite some time before shit turns real and people get kicked and cuffed for doing stupid things, like throwing eggs at a non-political storefront.
But something about this protest seemed different. Police began detaining and arresting protesters even before the marching began. At a press conference later that night, the SPVM (Service de police de la Ville de Montréal) described how they utilized a little-known section of the law to detain protesters for several hours because they were perceived to be potential threats. I watched police confiscate signs and drag away callback cheer leaders for evoking the growing crowd.
Because I was shooting with such a short lens, I knew I had to be up close to the action to take any decent photos. I spent two hours running after an angry mob, climbing up on fences to take overhead shots and trying to track down Ben's whereabouts. At about 7:30 p.m., I'd had enough and began searching for the nearest metro station. I turned on to St. Urban, which was now rather congested with demonstrators. As I pushed my way through the crowd, riot police began banging their batons against their shields like some kind of ominous war drum. They then stormed the street from both sides. Oh. Fuck.
Utter chaos ensued, and I dived into a divot of a storefront with a group of bewildered teenagers who had just stepped out of a cafe (worst timing ever). A police officer approached us, and seeing the camera around my neck, pushed me forcibly towards the middle of the road with his shield. I let out my whiniest, most over dramatic "OWWWW!!" to make it stop. It worked, but I was now part of a clusterfuck of students and journalists encircled by riot police. This tactic is known as kettling, and now I was experiencing it first hand.
Angry and flustered, I held my camera up to the tinted face-mask of the officer closest to me, "Je suis journaliste!" I shouted, attempting to push past him. I was instantly stiff armed in the gut. "Unless you're the anchor of the nightly news on CBC, you're under arrest," he snorted. Me, arrested? I am pretty much the most law-abiding citizen you will ever come across. I don't even J-walk most of the time, thanks to Jante law and a semester abroad in Scandinavia.
Uncontrollable sobbing hiccups set in—the kind where you're trying not to cry but you can't help it and suddenly everything you say becomes incomprehensible. I plucked my brown paper Concordia University journalism press pass from my wallet, hoping it would serve as a get out of jail free card. "That thing won't get you anywhere," the officer said. Hot tears began rolling down my cheeks. Another photojournalist took a picture of me confronting the officer. I secretly hoped it wouldn't appear on the front page of The Gazette the next morning. It wasn't. The officer shook his head at me, "Be a big girl and suck it up." I have often wondered what would prompt a human being to spit a giant loogie in someone else's face but for a split second, the thought crossed my mind.
Suppressing my Flavor of Love inspired intentions, I refocused my attention on being released. "Is there a media relations sergeant I can speak to then?" I said between massive hiccups. "It's Friday evening, he's not working right now." This annoyed me even further as the Anti-Police Brutality march takes place on the same day every year. It would only make sense for the SPVM to plan accordingly. I later found out this was a lie fed to me by the officer to coerce me to comply.
I spent the next hour and a half huddled shoulder to shoulder with total strangers, fielding calls from Ben and my editor, tweeting the SPVM to get me the hell out and attempting (unsuccessfully) to stifle my hiccups. Finally, just as I began losing feeling in my toes, an STM bus pulled up and the police officers began lining us up to be frisked and searched. As a frequent traveler, I have been patted down at airports on several occasions. But here in Montreal, the police take frisking to a whole other level of awkwardness and discomfort. They make damn sure you aren't carrying a shank in your vagina or décolletage. I went all the way to second base with a female police officer whose name I will never know.
At the next stop on the shame train, I was forced to say my name, date of birth, and address into a hand-held video camera. For some odd reason, the woman behind the camera was smiling and laughing the entire time like she gets off on apprehending journalists for doing their job. I was so flustered I couldn't even comprehend French or remember my address. I ending up blubbering something about my former residential address in New Hampshire, totally forgetting my parents moved into a condo in another town six months ago. Thanks to my otherwise irrelevant student journalist press pass, I was loaded onto a bus filled with protesters who were deemed less abrasive. I had to give my name and address to yet another police officer who fitted me with a blue numbered bracelet like I had just bought a ticket to the fucking carnival. I was ordered to turn off my iPhone and my backpack was placed into a large plastic bag. Then came the handcuffs, black plastic zip-tie suckers that were pulled so tightly I had marks on my wrists until the next morning. We on the pacifists bus were apparently lucky, others were said to have been cuffed behind their backs.
I leaned my head against the window, thankful there was enough scum on it that the diners in the restaurants along St. Urbain probably wouldn't recognize me. In a Shawshank Redemption type reverie, I contemplated the things I would do once I re-joined life on the outside. I desperately wanted to take a long, hot shower and spoon with my boyfriend.
Students on the street corner cheered in solidarity as our bus pulled away, snapping me out of my daydream. We drove 35 minutes a detaining center in the West Island, a completely unnecessary ride that left us far from public transportation and a bar in which to drown our sorrows. Almost two and a half hours had passed since the initial kettling, and I figured my plans to meet up with friends for drinks were pretty much null as I was literally tied up. Myself and others were never brought inside to be processed, all the paper work was completed on board the bus. We had been shipped to the West Island simply to get us the hell away from downtown. The officers explained we were essentially receiving the world's most expensive ($637) parking ticket, which I did not find humorous as I had already received an actual parking ticket earlier in the day. The offense would not be pinned to our criminal records, it was simply a large fine for obstructing traffic.
The minors on the bus were processed first. As soon as his handcuffs had been severed with wire cutters, one youth put an unlit cigarette between his lips. "You're a smoker at 15 years old?" a police officer asked him in French. He stared back at her coldly, fully aware she couldn't do a thing until he put a match to it. I envied his pre-pubescent rebelliousness.
Because I was close to the front of the bus, I was the next one to be liberated. Once again I accidentally provided the wrong address, mostly because I'm a millennial who doesn't believe in the postal service. Later this week I will be forced to shamefully call the SPVM and correct this error. With two clips to my handcuffs, I was a free woman. To my dismay, I wasn't allowed to keep them as a souvenir. I exited the bus and took a right turn onto the street.
I saw a guy standing on the corner and began walking toward him to ask for directions. "Hey, did you just get arrested?" he asked before I could say anything. "Yeah, actually I was," I replied, no longer embarrassed but thankful to be able to move my wrists. "Would you like a sandwich...water...popcorn?" he asked, pulling a PB&J in a plastic baggy from a duffel bag. I declined the offer, still too much in shock to feel any hunger. "Do you know how to get to the metro from here?" I asked. "There's a bus that will take you there, but it's pretty far. If you wait a few minutes in that parking lot we're offering free rides to the station." I was floored by the well-organized hospitality of these volunteers. They had their shit together far better than the SPVM.
I jumped in the back of a sedan along with a photojournalism student from Loyalist College and a McGill protester who had come to denounce the violence she witnessed during Quebec's notorious Maple Spring. Our chauffeurs, Jerôme and Ève, were kind enough to shuttle us all the way to a further metro stop so we could get on the green line towards downtown. "I have to say, with every protest I'm impressed by how communal the atmosphere is despite the occasional violence," I said to Jerôme as we nervously passed a police cruiser. "I think that's part of the reason people keep coming back, they like to feel like they're part of something, or part of a movement," he replied. Jerôme's answer got me thinking: Maybe Quebecers cling to these protests because active, public dissent makes them feel validated in a world driven by faceless internet like's, shares and up points. Being out there in the streets, showing your support for what you believe in is a lot more rewarding than sending a tweet to @PMHarper about how you think his policies suck.
Feeling rather philosophical and as though I'd been bestowed with good samaritan karma, I exited the car and gave another passenger a Loonie for the metro. My night ended with a shower, a cup of tea, some borrowed sweatpants, and the quiet satisfaction that I'd added a badass story to the repertoire to tell my future grandchildren.

text: Build your brand, grow your practice February 15, 2012 Rhonda Page Branding is the perception of you or your firm in the mind of your client or prospect. It's not your logo, although that is part of the perception. It is more about a feeling or emotion. When you think of a brand you love, how do you feel? How do you want your client or prospect to feel when they think about you? This is branding. A strong brand will make you stand out from the crowd. It will help you get and keep clients. It will allow you to charge higher billing rates because in your client's mind you are the only lawyer who can do what you do in the way that you do it. Here are six steps to building a strong brand: Have a clear vision You need to have a clear vision for your practice so you know where you're headed, otherwise it's like going on a journey without a roadmap. Identify your ideal client The clearer you are, the more you will attract people who value what you do and will compensate you well. They will become your fans and spread the word about your good work. Stand out from your competition You can't stand out if you are saying the same thing as every other lawyer. Strive to be truly different. Research your market Think of five questions to ask clients. For example: "What do you like most about working with me?" and "Who else were you considering before you decided to hire me?" Schedule a 15-minute call; they'll be happy to help. Develop a differentiated message Use what you learned in the first four steps to create a message that articulates what you do and how you are different. Test it at social events. The goal is to be immediately asked for your card. Get the word out! Now that you have clarified your message, it's time to build your website, create valuable content, and put the word out through tools such as LinkedIn. Become a trusted source of information and deliver on the experience you are promising. Think about every point of contact you have with clients: parking, length of time to return calls, your office and your staff. Make sure everything is aligned to your core message. The experience they have with you is what they'll talk about, so make sure it's a good one. Rhonda Page uses her 20 years of global branding experience to help small businesses grow by leveraging the power of branding.

Around 6000 vacancies filled in last 10 months, 10,000 more in advanced stages of selection
Directs regular follow up, spending of Centrally Sponsored Schemes
JAMMU, NOV 22: Around six thousand vacancies have been filled by the Services Selection Board and Public Service Commission in the State during the last 10 months while as selection process in respect of ten thousand more gazetted and non gazetted vacancies is in advanced stages and likely to be completed soon.
This was disclosed in a high level meeting of Administrative Secretaries chaired by Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti here today to review the pace of recruitment and selection processes in the State.
The meeting was also informed that selection of around five hundred doctors by the Public Service Commission would be completed by the end of next month addressing the manpower demand of doctors in the rural areas.
Addressing the meeting, the Chief Minister asked the two recruiting agencies to redouble their efforts and complete the selections pending with them at the earliest. She asked the Chairman SSB to fix March 31 as cut off date for clearing all pending selections with it and the PSC to pace up recruitment of staff in Higher Education, Health and Medical Education Departments at the earliest. She also asked the Departments to undertake reviews to know the exact status of vacant positions which could be referred to the recruitment agencies for early selection.
As a follow up of her recent public outreach programmes, Mehbooba Mufti directed the Administrative Secretaries of PHE, PDD and Health Departments to visit the field areas, take stock of the completion of development projects and assess the needs of the people there.
She said she was upset to know that many big projects in far flung areas are stuck either because of small amounts for completion or due to minor interventions by government functionaries. She asked the Administrative Secretaries to conduct regular visits to areas to know the problems of people and also take periodic reviews of the projects in the field.
The Chief Minister also asked the Administrative Secretaries to keep in touch with the Deputy Commissioners and monitor the spendings in Centrally sponsored schemes and other flagship programmes in the State. She asked them to take regular and periodic reviews of these schemes in the districts.
Mehbooba Mufti asked the Health Secretary to work out a plan for disposal of hospital waste in the State, pacing up work on the under construction Medical Colleges and creation of staff for the same. She directed furnishing of a list of doctors who have been detached to their original places of posting after her direction in the matter. She also directed deployment of female nursing staff at the diagnostic units of the Hospitals for the convenience of patients.
The Chief Minister directed the Power Secretary to pace up work on the Alestaing Grid station and ensure that it is completed ahead of the deadline schedule. She also asked him to monitor the power distribution in the State during the winter months and see that people have got the relief after the drawal of additional power from the outside. She also directed speeding up process of installation of street and traffic lights in the cities and towns of the State.
Mehbooba Mufti asked the Education Secretary to take steps for posting Urdu knowing teachers in the schools of Jammu province where they are needed. She also directed urgent completion of hostels for students, construction of auditoriums and posting of other subject specific faculty in the colleges of far flung areas. She was informed that work on 60 such hostels is apace and soon these would be ready for use.
The Chief Minister dwelt upon a host of issues like release of payments under NREGA, posting of tehsildars and SDMs, drug de-addiction, traffic congestion, removal of encroachments and other issues which came up for her attention during her recent public outreach programmes.
It may be recalled that as a novel initiative in recent history in the State, the Chief Minister has so far conducted public outreach programmes in the eight districts of the State during which she has taken an on spot review of developmental schemes and sought public feedback on the Government's efforts.
Chief Secretary, B. B. Vyas; Administrative Secretaries of all the Departments; Chairman, SSB, Simrandeep Singh were present in the meeting.

This is an important shout-out to all my Australian readers with a hearing loss.
The Australian Federal Government has launched a full Senate Inquiry into deafness!
Is there anything about having a hearing loss or being deaf that frustrates you?
- Have you ever felt annoyed at the cost of buying – and maintaining – hearing aids and cochlear implants?
- Have you ever been upset by the low standard of services of an audiologist?
- Ever wished you could stay with Australian Hearing after you were 21 years old?
The Australian Federal Government want to hear from EVERYONE in Australia about what issues they face when they have to deal with a hearing loss.
They are planning on using your input to change the way hearing health is dealt with in Australia.
It is so important that you email them to let them know what it is like for YOU personally.
All you have to do is send a short email to email@example.com by 9 October 2009, letting them know what frustrates you most about your hearing loss in Australia, and what you would like to change.
I have done one already. If you need help in knowing what to write, have a look here.
This is your chance to finally let your Government know how difficult it can be living with a hearing loss in a hearing world.
Don't miss this chance.

Our last Monday Night Raw before SummerSlam! I'm halfway hoping we see the WWE Universal Championship belt for the first time ever tonight, but smart money is we'll have to wait until Sunday when Finn Balor and Seth Rollins go one on one for the new title. Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman should be making an appearance as a match that is 15 years in the making happens and The Beast takes on The Viper. The Boss and the champ, Sasha Banks, will prepare for her first WWE Women's Championship defense as she takes on former champ, Charlotte. Last week she beat Dana Brooke insuring that she won't be ringside supporting Charlotte at SummerSlam. Last week we saw a new team from as Kevin Owens came to the aid of Chris Jericho and they will take on Enzo & Big Cass at SummerSlam. The New Day will have to avoid more ringpostitus at the hands of The Club for one more week before they tangle for the WWE Tag Team Championships at SummerSlam. Our last week of building up for the second biggest PPV of the year! Are you expecting any surprises?
VIDEO PACKAGE: They play a video of Seth Rollins outside the arena earlier in the day talking about he is going to become the first Universal Champion on Sunday. But first he has business with his opponent Finn Balor, and he calls out the Demon King side of Finn. He then laughs because the Demon King doesn't show up. "If The Demon King is too scared to fid The Man, then The Man will find the Demon King."
PROMO (In-Ring): Lana and Rusev are in the ring, and they are being asked to leave although the refuse. Lana says everyone will listen to them, and Rusev talk about how Roman ruined their wedding celebration. Because of that there will be no Raw. No matches, no superstars. Nothing until Roman makes his way out to apologize. But his call is answered by GM Mick Foley. Mick is asking Rusev to leave, but Rusev is unimpressed. Rusev says he is no GM without Rusev. The greatest US Champ ever, and he demands respect. Foley, mic-less, continues to ask him to leave. Rusev says that Foley sucks, and questions why he has to face Roman and SummerSlam. He hasn't earned the shot at his United States Championship. Rusev then asks for Stephanie, and out comes the Princess of the business. She looks.. Unhappy. Both the commissioner and GM of Raw step in the ring with the champ and his newlywed. He thanks Steph, and Stephanie says that this behavior is unacceptable. He demands respect, but shows none. She supports Mick 100%. Rusev says he deserves no respect as he is not a champion. He then says that Daniel and Shane would respect the great US Champion. Then Roman finds his way to the ring. Roman says that if an apology will end this, thats what he will do. He apologizes for the website he found his wife on, and the ugly sasquach babies they are bound to make. Rusev calls him a wannabe, and calls out all his loser fans. Roman says that even though the two are scheduled to fight at SummerSlam, but he is ready to fight now. Rusev says he is ready to defend his wives honor. So Mick says that he can respect that. Sunday it is about the United States Title, but the two will fight tonight to defend Lana's honor.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (In-Ring): Byron asks Sheamus about his feud with Cesaro to which Sheamus responds that he has proved he is the better man. As far as Sami Zayn, sure he has been great since his debut, but he is nothing but a cheap knock off of The Celtic Warrior. He can talk all he wants on Twitter, but he'll knock his "bleeding head" off.
MATCH: Sheamus vs. Sami Zayn
Cesaro joins the commentary team in the middle of the match.
Cesaro distracts Sheamus causing Sami to hit the Helluva Kick for the win.
RESULTS: Sami Zayn wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: This was a given. The match between Sami and Sheamus was good, but everyone knew the distraction was coming. Good win for Sami though.
PROMO (Backstage): Tom is interviewing Y2J and KO. Tom says that KO will face Big Cass one on one, to which Jericho says no because he has KO's back. Y2J says that Enzo is no certified G, and he probably doesn't even have a certificate. KO says that Cass & Enzo are a cancer in the locker room, and they'll take care of it. Throughout the entire promo they called Tom every name but Tom. It was fantastic. KO and Y2J are freaking amazing together.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (Backstage): Sheamus and Cesaro are arguing and being separated by security. Mick comes in and says that the two will go at it in a best of 7 series, and that will start at SummerSlam.
MATCH: The New Day vs. The Dudley Boyz
Big E is still out of action, suffering from Ringpostitus at the hands of The Club.
Before the match starts, Dr. Gallows and Dr. Anderson come up on screen with more puns and talking about ringpostitus. I love these guys. Always gold.
RESULTS: The New Day wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: D-Von accidentally takes out Bubba on a clothesline.. I like New Day winning, but making The Dudley Boyz look dumb is ridiculous.
PROMO (In-Ring): Kofi grabs a mic after Anderson and Gallows say that they are next to suffer ringpostitus. Kofi says this is no game, and Xavier says they won the belts at SummerSlam last year and they'll keep them this year.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (Backstage): Seth Rollins is roaming around in the hallways asking if anyone has seen The Demon King. He then runs into Neville and asks him. He gives Seth some advice, you may think you're ready, but he can promise that he isn't.
MATCH: Nia Jax vs. Rachel Leby(spelling?)
This poor girl Nia is up against is another local talent. I'm sorry if the spelling is incorrect but her name never come up on screen so I may have butchered it.
RESULTS: Nia Jax wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: I love squash matches. I'm ready to see Nia in a real match now. Just like Braun.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (In-Ring): Paul Heyman and his beast, Brock Lesnar, are back on Raw as they are a mere six days from their battle with Randy Orton. The crowd is loving Lesnar tonight! As soon as Heyman starts speaking, Heath Slater comes out.. The undrafted Heath Slater is here, and Heyman is unimpressed. Slater informs the two that he is the hottest free agent in sports entertainment today, and he has no clue what is wrong with the SmackDown Live crew. They wouldn't know a star if it smacked them in a face, thats why he came to Paul Heyman. Heyman just starts laughing, as he wouldn't even entertain the thought of advocating for Slater. But Heath says thats not why he is here. Heath has one more opportunity for a contract. All he has to do is beat Lesnar one on one.. Tonight. So he asks for a match tonight with Lesnar, and Paul answers by saying the joke is over. He asks to get Heath out of the picture and focus on Lesnar. Heath then just starts screaming. He can't beleieve the disrespect. He then starts in on his kids, like last week. His, whatever number, of kids depends on him. He knows Lesnar will kick his ass, but he has to do this. He doesn't care what he has to go through, but Brock grabs the mic and interrupts. He can appreciate the fact that he wants to provide and maintain the responsibilities. He says he has guts, and Lesnar understands that he has kids. He invites him into the ring to chat about his kids. Brock walks straight up to his face and says "I don't give a shit about your kids.". He gives him two choices, walk out on your own two feet or stand there and keep pissing him off. Heath goes for a cheap shot, and is then taken through Suplex City. He also eats an F5 for fun. Heath has been nothing but entertaining. Amazing stuff. Paul says that he gives him credit as he stood up face to face with Lesnar. Unlike Randy who snuck in from the shadows. Paul claims himself as a hype artist, and that he needs to sell Orton has a chance at SummerSlam, but it is not believable. This is the summer of the conquerer, and the Beast is ready. He will assert his dominance this Sunday at SummerSlam. Brock Lesnar IS the box office at SummerSlam. No one can stand up to Lesnar. Not the RKO, and not Randy Orton. This Sunday we get to see a once in a lifetime athlete to do what he does best.
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Big Cass (w Enzo Amore) vs. Kevin Owens (w Chris Jericho)
Jericho attacks Enzo at ringside, and then gets involved by attacking Big Cass. Jeri-KO rules the ring.
RESULTS: Big Cass wins via DQ.
THOUGHTS: Jeri-KO have a 0% chance win Sunday. Enzo and Cass need the win, so to see KO and Y2J go over as the tougher team here.
PROMO (Backstage): Tom is interviewing Reigns who says he is ready for any fight tonight, and is then ambushed and destroyed by Rusev. Security pulls Rusev away but not before the damage is done.
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: The Primetime Players (w Bob Backlund) vs. The Shining Stars
On the pre-show, Titus went up to Darren and Bob Backlund saying the team should get back together even after their recent differences. Not an obvious backstabbing coming here.
Bob and Titus were talking at ringside, but Darren gets knocked into Titus on accident. Thus causing Titus to hit Clash of The Titus on Darren and leave him behind.
RESULTS: The Shining Stars win via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: I figured the turn was coming. This is a pre show match this Sunday I'm sure. But i still hate The Shining Stars.
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Jinder Mahal vs. Neville
Jinder Mahal won a contract spot after beating his former partner, Heath Slater, last week. And I totally forgot.
RESULTS: Neville wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: I'm still really concerned that The Red Arrow may actually be the downfall of Neville in the long run. One bad step, boom, career ending injury. i feel like he should save it as a last resort for special matches maybe. I'm talking about this because the match was so meh.
PROMO (Backstage): Mick and Stephanie are backstage, and Mick says that Jon Stewart will be the special guest at SUmmerSlam. Then Seth comes in, and they ask how he is. He says he is tired because he has look everywhere for The Demon King. Stephanie says he should the the night off, but Mick says that he should go to the ring to call The Demon King. Seth says he'll do it, somewhat unwillingly.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (In-Ring): Seth Rollins is in the ring to call out The Demon King. The alter-ego of his SummerSlam opponent, and the man he'll face for the WWE Universal Championship, Finn Balor. Seth says he has never felt more disrespected. Last week Finn came out to talk about his history, but he hasn't seen this Demon King anywhere. So he offers a little tid bit. There is nothing and no one that can stop him from becoming the first ever WWE Universal Champion, and this Demon King is nowhere to be found. Seth, feeling generous, give him one more chance and calls him to the ring. He then laughs because nothing happens. He says Finn is only trying to intimidate him because he is afraid. He understands though, because he is going to be beaten. He admit that he would be afraid to face himself too. This Demon King is just one more chapter in the book of Rollins. He won't show because he is terrified, because he is more terrifying than anything. Sunday this Demon King has nowhere to run or hide, but suddenly the lights go out and it seems we have a visitor. The Demon King is here on Monday Night Raw! The two share no words as the brawl begins and The Demon King stands tall.
VIDEO PACKAGE: They play a video package of Lana and Rusev's wedding on Raw last week being destroyed by Roman.
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: The Golden Truth vs. Gallows & Anderson
After they pick up the win, Gallows & Anderson are attacked by The New Day.
RESULTS: Gallows & Anderson win via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: As if The Golden Truth has any chance. I think Gallows & Anderson put an end to The New Day's historic reign as Tag Team Champions.
PROMO (Backstage): Dana and Charlotte are talking about how Dana lost against Sasha last week. She is now banned from ringside at SummerSlam. Charlotte asks why Dana failed her when it mattered the most. They aren't sharing spotlight, its all Charlottes. She says that when she is a 2x champ she is going to ask Stephanie to replace her with someone that isn't an epic failure.
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Charlotte vs. Alicia Fox
Sasha Banks, the boss, the WWE Women's Champion is on commentary.
After the match, Charlotte calls Sasha to the ring and Dana comes in to distract her. Charlotte takes advantage and locks in the figure four.
RESULTS: Charlotte wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: STOKED for Sasha vs. Charlotte on Sunday. These ladies are gonna tear it down.
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Rusev (w Lana) vs. Roman Reigns
Rusev is defending the honor of his wife here tonight.
RESULTS: Roman Reigns win via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: Hate that this match even happened. I'm loving everything Rusev has been doing the last few weeks. Having him main event Raw for a second straight week is well deserved and makes him and the US Title look phenomenal. Roman has been great in this feud too, but having two SummerSlam opponents go one on one six days before their high profile match is questionable to say the least. But.. It happened, and it wasn't bad at all. Hopefully they bring it on Sunday!

Tales of the Sea: HSK KormoranComments
In World War I the German Navy had enjoyed some success with merchant cruisers, civilian ships armed and converted to military purpose. The success of these cruisers never matched that of the German U-boats, but they provided a relatively cheap and effective way of disorienting and tying down Allied surface units. During the interwar period the Kriegsmarine built the three "Panzerschiff", armored cruisers with long ranges designed for merchant raiding. At the beginning of World War II, the Kriegsmarine requisitioned a dozen merchant vessels for conversion to merchant raiding. The ships received heavier decks, storage space for ammunition, fuel, and prisoners, and an armament of 6 6″, 2 37mm, and 5 25mm guns, along with a pair of torpedo tubes and space for 2 seaplanes.
The eighth and, at 8700 tons, the largest of the German auxiliary cruisers, HSK Kormoran could make 19 knots, but lacked the armor or fire control mechanism of a genuine warship. With Captain Theodor Detmers in command, Kormoran left Kiel on December 3, 1940, successfully avoiding Royal Navy patrols and breaking into the Atlantic. Her first victim was the Greek freighter Antonis, captured without incident on January 6, 1941 and destroyed by explosive charges. As required by the laws of maritime war, the 29 strong crew of Antonis became involuntary passengers on the raiding crews. Kormoran caught and sunk three more merchantmen in January alone. In the process of finishing off the freighter Eurylochus, Kormoran accidentally destroyed a full lifeboat with a torpedo. After meeting with Admiral Scheer and U-105, Kormoran proceeded into the South Atlantic, catching a freighter and a tanker in March and two freighters in April. The tanker, the Canadian-owned Canadolite, was captured, assigned a prize crew, and dispatched to France with the prisoners captured in previous engagements. Two more ships were caught in June, as Kormoran moved into the Indian and eventually the Pacific, and a last freighter was caught and sunk in September near Australia. Detmers' treatment of the captured crews was in almost all cases correct, and the men of Kormoran took pains to minimize the loss of life on their victims.
On November 19, 1941 HSK Kormoran was cruising off the northwest coast of Australia, near Shark Bay. At 4pm, Kormoran was sighted by a warship about twelve miles away. Detmers replied to the warship's challenge as the Dutch Straat Malakka. The warship was not satisfied by this response, and closed with Kormoran. It became apparent that the approaching ship was a light cruiser of the Leander class, a ship slightly smaller than Kormoran but much faster, more heavily armed, and armored. The Australian cruiser could catch and kill Kormoran without difficulty if the German ship tried to run. By Detmers' account, he decided to delay for as long as possible in the hope of surprising the Australian ship at close range; Kormoran's armament was concealed, and she continued to attempt to signal as Straat Malakka. Although the approaching ship trained its guns on Kormoran, it did not open fire. The surviving Germans tell us that when the Australian cruiser entered within 1000 yards, the 6″ guns of Kormoran were uncovered and began firing seconds later.

Of course, there's more to having a tablet than just blogging, creating spreadsheets and managing your finances. Yes, one of the biggest advantages of having a tablet is, of course, playing games.
When you're sitting in that doctor's office or waiting outside the grocery store, what better way to pass the time than to play games? And what better way to play games than on a tablet with a screen that is nearly as large as a laptop screen, but with hardly a quarter of the power consumption?
I get very bored in situations where I have to wait. If I don't have a book or something else to occupy my mind, it drives me crazy. Now that I have a tablet, I'm never bored.
One of the first things that I did once my Prime was all set up with highly-productive software to get my work done, was to install the following five games that I consider a must have if you own an Android tablet.
Android Tablet Games
Why specifically Android tablets? Well, we've covered lots of Android games here at MUO, like Paul's list of multiplayer Android games 5 Best Addictive Free Multiplayer Android Games Read More , Angela's list of casual Android games 7 Great Android Games for Casual Gaming For those of you who love to play games in random idle moments, here's a list of great games which are entertaining, cheap, casual, silly and easy to pick up and set down.

Touchscreens often aren't the best choice for titles that rely on quick reflexes, but in strategy titles where planning... Read More .
These are all awesome suggestions, and if you have an Android smartphone, I highly suggest you check out those articles and install the suggested games. However, what I'd like to focus on in this article are the five games that I consider perfectly made for the larger tablet screen, and that make perfect use of touch screen technology in an intuitive, easy-to-learn way.
Sims Freeplay
The first game that I have to suggest is also my #1 favorite of all time game to play on the tablet – Sims Freeplay.
I tried playing SIMS when the first version came out for PC, and liked it at first. The problem was that I got bored (there's a theme here, isn't there…) from having to wait while my Sims were accomplishing whatever task I set them out to accomplish. Multitasking on the PC with a full-screen game going on wasn't always easy. These were the days before multiple-screens were all the rage.
So, I was really excited to learn that the folks at Electronic Arts have joined in with the freedom-loving mobile games crowd and offer a free mobile version of the SIMS called SIMS FreePlay. Creating your SIM is as simple as just swiping through the selections and tapping on your choices, and then moving your SIM into his or her new home.
Just about everything you love about the SIMS game for other consoles, you'll love in this version as well. On the flip side, everything I didn't like about the SIMS console version – the tedious process of clicking and clicking just to accomplish dull, everyday tasks – is wiped out of this version. Now, if you want your SIM to eat, you just tap on the refrigerator and then tap on the food choices. Done.
Does your SIM need to go to the bathroom? Tap on the toilet. Done. And yes, I snapped a screenshot while my SIM was doing his business. I had to illustrate, right?
The ease of playing this version really makes it a fun activity for when you're stuck somewhere and bored. Just open up SIMS Freeplay and enter into the world of your SIM.
The one drawback is that this free version requires you to literally wait for some tasks to complete, such as your SIM sleeping for 7 hours. That means that your session will last until it's time for your SIM to go to bed, then close your tablet and come back later for another day of fun. It's a small price to pay for a free version of one of the most popular games on the market today.
Angry Birds – Space
Yes, I am not ashamed to admit that I made the mistake of trying out Angry Birds on Facebook and promptly getting addicted to the blasted game. I honestly don't know what in the world is so appealing about Angry Birds. It's basically just flinging a bird at a bunch of pigs. Seriously, what is up with that?
But, there it is. One of the most addictive games on the Internet. And do you want to know a secret? It is even more addictive when you play it on an Android tablet.
The act of pulling back the bird with your finger and moving up and down to aim makes it feel like you're in much more control over the bird than it does when you're using your mouse on the computer. It connects you with the game even more, and it makes you feel like you can give that bird a bit more precision to take out those blasted pigs.
And the cool thing about Angry Birds Space is that you can use the gravity of each planet (or moon?) to your advantage. Of course, sometimes it works to your disadvantage – but that's where your smarts come into play.
Figure out how to take advantage of the gravitational forces in this surreal space environment, and you'll be knocking pigs to smithereens in no time. Although, I do have to ask the question – what did those pigs ever do to deserve so many attacks, anyway?
Gun Bros
I have to admit, I get in different moods sometimes, so I have to have different games available to suit those moods. SIMS is great for just chilling and unwinding after a long day, Angry Birds is awesome for just getting refocused between writing articles or finishing some project. But when it comes to relieving stress, I almost always turn to Gun Bros.
What's Gun Bros? Well, in the simplest terms, it's a couple of massive guys carrying around two massive guns and blasting everything that moves on these alien planets. The goal at the beginning is just to keep things from touching you and your buddy, but before you know it you'll be confronting things that start shooting back at you.
What makes this game so perfect for the tablet is that you can grasp each side of the tablet, pace your thumb on each of the touch-circles at the bottom of the screen, and you'll feel totally in control of the action.
You command direction with your left thumb, and firing direction with your right. Before you know it, the entire setup feels like second nature. The only problem with this game is that you'll end up staying up all night without even realizing it (yes, I'm speaking from experience).
Stand O' Food
If you've played games like Cafe World on Facebook, then Stand O' Food will look very familiar. It isn't a copy of the game, but the premise is almost the same.
This is one of those games that is perfect for passing the time if you have a few minutes to burn and nothing to do. Short sessions of play are what you'll find here. You can go through a tutorial that'll quickly teach you how the game play works, but the bottom line is that before each round, you're provided with the variety of foods you'll need to prepare for customers in your fast food restaurant.
In each round, it's up to you and you alone to tap the right ingredients on the conveyor line in the right order to put together what the customer ordered, as shown in the window above their head. Think it's easy? Well, you also have to add in any condiments, and any extras like fries or soda. Things can get hectic pretty quick, but thanks to the large tablet screen and the ability to use the lighting-quick reflexes of your finger on the touch screen, you'll reach higher levels in this game on your tablet then you ever would on a PC.
As you work your way through each round of this game, you'll get new businesses to run. Before you know it you'll be the fast-food mogul of the Stand O' Food city.
And if you're the competitive type, yes there's a Hall of Fame that shows the ranking of other online members. So give it a shot and see whether or not you can measure up to the competition!
Lane Splitter
The final game that I want to propose works best on a tablet is Lane Splitter. If you like the idea of flying down a three line highway on a motorcycle, with the wind flying through your hair as you careen and swerve into and around traffic, then you're going to love this game.
The controls are very simple. Hold the tablet with both hands and simply lean it left or right to turn your bike in that direction. It doesn't take very long to get used to, and the game is very reactive to every small move you make. You'll feel like you can make the bike do just about anything – which is good, because once it starts flying at breakneck speeds, you're going to need that quick reaction time.
And if you aren't quite fast enough, you're going to end up like I did – with a flattened bike down at the corner of the screen. Not cool.
Thankfully, this isn't real life. All you have to do is tap "Play Again" and you're rolling down the street once more!
It's addictive, fun, and it was one of the coolest ways I've ever burned through time waiting in the mall parking lot for my wife and kids to finish shopping. The time really flew by.
If you have an Android tablet, I suggest giving these games a try. Do you think they perform better on a tablet than a smartphone? Share your own thoughts and feedback in the comments section below.

It could be the first time in history that a costumed street performer has been criticized for doing something worse than just being a costumed street performer. A guy dressed as Elmo has been stalking Fisherman's Wharf and a San Francisco park, hugging children and launching into a high-volume, obscenity-filled kvetch about Jews and other minorities. The man beneath the Elmo head, Adam Sandler (not that one), was arrested in New York in September for the same kind of mishegas. Officer Albie Esparza of the San Francisco Police Department says police "admonished" Sandler but couldn't arrest him for any particular offense. (The First Amendment protects even the furriest of us.) But the whole mess proves it's never too early to lose faith in beloved childhood icons. Here, a list of other friends to beware:
• Oscar the Holocaust-Denying Grouch
• Tragically Homophobic Bert and Ernie
• Dora the Exploder
• Snuffleupskirtagus
• Methamphetamine Monster
• Clifford the Big Red Masturbator
• 9/11 Truther Power Rangers (who combine to form a giant conspiracy)
• Big Frottage Bird
• SpongeBob DomesticViolencePants
