5 Ways to Stop an Argument ASAP
Remember these tips in the heat of the moment. (Heat of the moment includes but is not limited to: yelling at spouse about dishes, yelling at kids to stop yelling at each other, yelling at everyone about politics.)
Tell a Personal Story.
I was raised in a family that argued a lot about politics, and I still do, both on my podcast and in life. A personal story can take the hot air out of the conversation. People start paying attention with their hearts as well as their minds. I was a guest recently on a conservative podcast, and we were going back and forth on whether it's wrong or not to prevent Muslims from entering the country in order to prevent terrorism. I finally said something like "I'm Jewish, and the idea of passing laws that treat people differently on the basis of religion makes me very, very nervous." When someone brings a personal narrative into the argument, it's harder for the other person to keep going—they feel like they are negating your personal experience. It's like a reset button. It helps everyone remember that they are talking to a fellow human being and to have a little compassion.
—Emily Bazelon, staff writer at the New York Times Magazine and cohost of the Slate podcast Political Gabfest. She lives in New Haven, Connecticut.
Get Out Your iPhone Timer.
When you have a group that turns combative—like a PTO meeting at a school—you need an assertive leader who can set time limits for each speaker (a couple of minutes) and for the entire discussion (say, 30 minutes—then shelve it or take a vote). You can pass around a stress ball or a pen to designate who is speaking. People will, in trying to make their point, restate the same thing in different ways. That's not productive. Time limits help with that. But the leader needs to recognize when the argument is becoming redundant and cut it off. The fastest way is to state the problem in your own words—"OK, I understand your issue is this…"—then move on.
—Craig Bystrynski, editor in chief of PTO Today, which offers ideas and advice for parent-teacher organizations. He lives in Natick, Massachusetts.
Imagine Recapping It.
Sometimes I think how the fight will sound when I tell a girlfriend about it the next day. I'll have to say, "It was about how I unload the dishwasher, you know?" Or "It was about some raw chicken on a plate." Or "He bought the wrong bread for the third time. Then I started screaming." If you can flash-forward to the embarrassing moment when you recap the fight—and hear how you might sound like the aggressive or crazy one—it makes you slow your roll and reexamine what you're bringing to the table. You see how silly it all is. If you have kids around, you don't even need to imagine. You have witnesses right there—and that might keep you honorable.
—Heather Havrilesky, author of New York magazine's Ask Polly column and the book How to Be a Person in the World. She lives in Los Angeles.
Quick! Picture a Soft Underbelly.
Anger is often the hard shell covering the sadness or helplessness we're too vulnerable to show. If you're arguing with someone close to you—like your spouse or a good friend—read between the lines. Say to yourself, "Instead of responding to the anger, I'll look for the soft side. What's really going on?" That will help you respond in a kinder, more patient way. If you're the angry person, try hard to voice the feelings, rather than just your view of the facts. So: "I realize I'm just disappointed because you didn't run the errand I asked you to, and that makes me feel unimportant." Your spouse will probably say, "Of course you're important to me!" It quickly changes the conversation.
—Erica Reischer, Ph.D., is a psychologist, a parent educator, and the author of What Great Parents Do. She lives in Oakland.
Get in the Middle.
Sometimes when I'm moderating a debate on a controversial cultural issue, things can almost go off the rails. The debate becomes a nasty put-down exchange. In one extreme moment, two debaters with opposing views on Israel and Palestine got furious and started screaming incomprehensibly at each other. Nobody could hear anything. In that case, I left my podium, went over to them, and raised my hands like Moses parting the Red Sea, as if to say, "Stop." It was a little bit of a shaming moment, honestly. You can use it with people you know well, to get them to cut it out, calm down, and take turns listening to each other. Make it clear that nobody's getting anywhere, and call upon them to be their better selves.
—John Donvan, host and moderator of the Intelligence Squared U.S. Debates, a live series of four-person debates on political and cultural issues. He lives in Washington, D.C.

Whitney Houston's 'Celebrate' from 'Sparkle' debuts
It's hard to celebrate listening to Whitney Houston's final song, which made its radio debut Monday.
"Celebrate" is the duet Houston recorded -- just days before her Feb. 11 death from drowning in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton -- with Jordin Sparks for their upcoming movie "Sparkle." It's an upbeat pop number, written by R. Kelly, that fits the movie's story line about a '60s Motown girl group, which includes Sparks' character, and their mother, played by Houston.
But "Celebrate" doesn't really show off Houston's voice as much as it shows off Sparks, who paid tribute to Houston at the Billboard Music Awards Sunday night. Houston sings the lower notes that provide a jumping off point for Sparks, but she never gets the chance to break out herself the way she did for decades in classic performances of "I Will Always Love You" and "How Will I Know."
That limitation is likely by design since producers say that Houston had completed her work on the film, set for an Aug. 17 release, before she died on the eve of the Grammy Awards. However, Houston's performance on "Celebrate" once again raises the question that dogged her for years: Had she lost her legendary voice?
Though Houston's family and friends said she had been training her voice in preparation for her role in "Sparkle," her vocals on "Celebrate" don't sound noticeably different from her 2009 album, "I Look to You," which was supposed to launch her comeback, but fizzled.
Perhaps there are other songs from "Sparkle" that may better use Houston's vocals and back up all the talk that she was once again on the brink of a comeback. Unfortunately, "Celebrate" isn't quite it.

text: Roland D-550 24 July 2005 colin Equipment (0) Serial# 811067 Those "Glass Voices"... that "Guitarrrr"... there are many patches on this box that I used to think that I could not live without. If it broke down I would have to shop for a D-50 on E-Bay, I would say to myself. Interestingly, as I re-work projects that featured this synthesizer, I find myself using alternative instrumentation in preference to the venerable D-50 tones. I don't know why, exactly. Many synths of its era have disctinctive patches that were overused in commercial productions of the day, to the point where the patches now sound cheezy. The D-50/550 certainly has its share of these, but it is still capable of many unique and fresh-sounding sounds with depth that hold up today.

1. Science – (from Latin "knowledge") represents logically or systematically arranged facts which organize the knowledge for the purpose of explanation and prediction of things connected to the universe. Science refers to the reliable knowledge, which has a potential to be rationally and logically explained. As a general rule, knowledge about the world is gained through experimentation and observation. This knowledge is systematized as well. From the ancient times to present days, science has been closely linked to philosophy. Nowadays, science often refers to a manner of achieving knowledge, not solely the knowledge itself. A great number of scientists developed science in its narrower meaning. Among those scholars were Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton and Johannes Kepler. From the beginning of the 19th century, this word became associated with the scientific method, a special study about the world. It included biology, geology, chemistry and physics. Nowadays, there are distinguished two branches of scientific fields: social sciences, which study present society and social behavior, and natural sciences, which study nature, including biological life.
2. There are a lot of definitions of the term "religion". Commonly, religion is a system of beliefs, which relates to human moral values and spirituality. Each religion has its own symbols, traditions, history and narratives. This knowledge is intended to explain meaning or origin of life. Various religions tend to derive religious laws, ethics, morality or an ideal way of life from ideas about the universe and human being. There are approximately 4,000 religions all over the world. Religions can contain mythology. Religions oftentime include different sermons, rituals and commemorations or venerations of gods, goddesses or a single god, festivals, feasts, funerary and matrimonial services, trance, prayer, dance, art, music, singing or other impacts of human culture. Religion is something extremely social. There are five largest world religions distinguished. They are Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Chinese folk religion and Buddhism.
3. There are different definitions of science. According to one of them, science is an intellectual activity of people, the main purpose of which is to obtain objective knowledge about the world, nature, society, and thinking. The second one is a creative activity of people, which is an ability to get new knowledge. The third one is a system of knowledge connected to various laws of nature and society. The term "science" includes both activities for obtaining new knowledge and the result of this activity. The term "science" is also used to refer to certain branches of scientific knowledge.
Religion – is a faith, a special system of different worldviews, a set of cultural, spiritual and moral values, which determine human behavior. In a broad sense, religion is a set of beliefs and faiths in the society. It includes a set of customs, rituals, rules of life and people's behavior. In the narrow sense, religion is a belief in the existence of supernatural creatures and things.
Science and religion are the oldest forms of social consciousness. They evolved and developed over the years, so there are different definitions and opinions about them.
4. There are two realities placed in front of every man. Some people think religion compatible with science when others think the opposite way. An endless discussion between science and religion has been carried out for many centuries.
Science and religion present different windows into the reality of the world and provide different overviews of significant events. For example, religious people believe that all people were created by God, while scientists belie this. They confirm miracles by taking help of knowledge. Scientists claim that people evolved according to Darwin's theory.
In the book "Science and Religion: A Very Short Introduction" Thomas Dixon claims:
"Religion and science both provide resources with which people can make sense of the situation they find themselves in. From within a particular world view or ideology, certain maxims seem fundamental and unalterable: for a Muslim, the truth of the Quran; for a Christian, the fact of the resurrection; for an atheist, the purely human nature of all moral codes. Neither science nor religion can determine, for some mythical neutral observer, which foundational maxims we should adopt. However, they can provide concepts, beliefs, practices, rituals, and stories that can be used to piece together moral meanings" (142).
5. Falsifiability is a quality characteristic of scientific theory. In order to falsify something correctly, it has to be shown truly logically. Logical falsifiability is a totally different thing. There are no logical arguments against God's existence. There is a great amount of arguments in favor of God's existence: the Cosmological Argument and the Moral Argument. Both arguments are extremely strong. God is a spiritual being; his existence can only be perceived on a spiritual level. God is absolute, infinite and eternal - all of these features attribute beyond the man's intellect. The presence of the Universe does not run opposite to science, "it" goes far beyond it.
6. Non-existence of God should not be subject to falsifiability. No one can prove that God does not exist; there are no logical arguments against him. Medical scientists have an answer to every question, but they fail to put life into a normal body. Nobody can discern the phenomenon of life. It is incomprehensible till nowadays.
7. Causation refers to the suggestion that each event is caused by something. For each event, there is a set of circumstances such that if the circumstances occur one more time, the event would happen again. Therefore, it can be assumed that every given event is caused by a number of sets of precursor events that happened before, if people are not completely familiar with what those precursor events are. The cause always determines an effect. For example, if a ball is thrown into a window, the window will be broken. That is why the ball is the cause of the broken down window. On the other hand, if the distance from the person who throws the ball and the window is bigger, the window will not be broken. The window is also an element of the reason of the broken window. At least, if the window was stronger, the ball would not break it. It means that the person who broke the window is the cause of the broken window. If to look back in time, the parents of this man are the cause of the broken window.
8. Feuerbach and Nietzsche's theories deny the existence of God. Feuerbach claimed that people just made up the existence of God by different characteristics one gave to God before to show things they should believe in everyday life. He said that among reasons of the God's creation was the fact that people could not manage with their failures or fears (380).
In modern literature, Dan Brown, presupposes non-existence of God. He claims that God is just an artifice. Brown says that someone in the ancient times invented God for own purposes to be the ruler of the world and to earn extra money. No one can prove His existence what means that God is just a fantasy.
A great variety of predictions were made against God, as well.
As it is already known, no one can prove the God's existence or not-existence. Therefore, no one can confirm this. If to mention the information above, thus, people cannot explain truthfully the emergence of life. Various theories, predictions and presuppositions against God's existence make people believe things they do not want to. Scientists try to take away the most precious things from people. Religion is very important in everyone's life, even in extremely complicated situation people have the creature they can rely on and ask for help.
9. Free will has long been debated in science, especially in philosophy. The question about God's existence is in regular conflict with free will. God does not have to exist in a world of free will, as He knows exactly what will happen, every person's choice and move, right down to every person's breath. These things call into difficulty the status of alternatives and choices as free. In case God knows everything about everyone's choices, this constrains individual freedom.
10. The term "determinism" means that laws of nature and past events set and fix the future. God has to exist in a world of determinism. It is said that God alone is the cause of everything. Therefore, God obtains to make all past events give rise to all prospect events. As a result, past and future events are connected.
11. Hard determinism is a significant point of view on free will, which proclaims that just some forms of determinism are proper. This is not compatible with free will. Thus, free will cannot exist. Hard determinism is opposed to soft determinism, which is compatible to free will and proclaims that free will can exist even in spite of determinism.
12. Descartes believes in the existence of God. Descartes says in his theory that God is infinite, eternal, benevolent, and perfect. In his later Meditations, Descartes says that God is non-deceiver, while in earlier Meditations he asserts that God can be a deceiver. The philosopher assumes that God is perfect. After that, may people, God's creations, be imperfect? Descartes says that God did not give humans a faculty to make mistakes. Descartes claims that the sense of judgment is not endless. On the other side, free will is a choice to prefer which is never-ending. According to Descartes God made a mistake by creating a human who was imperfect. As a result, God may be not perfect, as well. This is a negation to the argument of God as an ideal being.

001. Was feeling less than photogenic after what feels like enough food to feed me for a month. Christmas is carb central, but im such a sucker for roast potatoes and stuffing. That paired along with my famous baked vanilla and raspberry cheesecake and I was full. Not a big turkey fan though, so I had my own portion of chicken on Christmas day!
002. Ive yet to enjoy the snow we've been having in the UK, Ive been so busy and cold I just didnt bother leaving the house. We had a good covering over here though. Its finally melted today so i wont have another chance to play in the snow till it comes next week.
003. My car has been driven into twice this week. One by my boyfriends mum and the other by some mad person who thought it was cool to pull out even though there wasnt a gap. In my shock to have nearly been smashed into I didnt even think about taking the number down. So now my car has a lovely new scratch to match the other side (This one wasnt caused by me but the previous owner). Then i find out my boyfriends mum has driven into my car and smashed my left headlight and messed up the whole bumper. Now Im in a situation where I feel I cant ask for the money to have it fixed off her... SO ANNOYING
004. I HATE XMAS SALES. Today im going shopping with my mother and brother, and I can already see myself stepping over the piles of useless crap to get to the non sale stuff. I hate digging through sale rails. You rarely find anything you want and when you do it either doesnt fit, or you forget you buy it and it remains unworn for ages. Ive made a promise to myself that I need to clense my wardrobe of all the things I ever wear. I NEED to update my style in 2010, Im nearly 20 for gods sake and I still have things in my wardrobe I wore when I was 13!
005. Need to book my hair and nails for the next few weeks. Im a sucker for acyrlic nails, Ive bitten my nails for as long as I can remember, Never have I had long nails. I had them removed before I left for New Zealand as I didnt know how much it would cost to maintain them over there. As for my hair... Well its SO LONG. My fringe now goes past my nose and is nearly tickling my top lip. Ive had to wear it clipped back or braided for ages. I miss my block fringe, although my friend used to say I looked like Caleb Followill circa Youth and Young Manhood.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will reshuffle the Cabinet today after his victory last week in the Liberal Democratic Party's
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will reshuffle the Cabinet today after his victory last week in the Liberal Democratic Party's leadership poll.
Many in key posts will likely remain, as Abe has reportedly pledged to reappoint Trade Minister Hiroshige Seko, Economic Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and Finance Minister Taro Aso. However, Abe also stated that he would "think thoroughly" about appointments, leaving open the prospect of significant change.
In response to two decades of deflation Abe instigated a policy of monetary easing, structural reform and fiscal expansion in 2013 to revitalise the Japanese economy—commonly known as 'Abenomics'. However, growth and inflation both remain off-target and will undermine Abe's domestic popularity if he continues to fall short on economic promises.
Expect Abe to reward those that supported him in securing the party presidency and to shape the cabinet in an attempt to increase domestic consumption and address the unwillingness of companies to raise salaries. These latter initiatives will address long-term barriers hindering the fulfilment of the optimistic targets promised by "Abenomics".

Demuth's legacy as a premier American modernist continues to expand, as the Demuth Museum maintains a highly regarded exhibition schedule and educational outreach program. Located on the site of the artist's home and painting studio in historic downtown Lancaster, the Demuth Museum is dedicated to developing awareness, understanding and appreciation of the art work and legacy of American modernist Charles Demuth.

The calendar says August and the first day of school and all the craziness that accompanies it is looming just over the horizon, but I refuse to relinquish summer. August deserves to be enjoyed for the month that it is, and not just a prelude to fall, which means there is still time to put up one's feet (preferably by the water), sip a cool drink, and enjoy a light, enjoyable read. If you happen to enjoy Jane Austen, I have just the book to recommend.
Suzie Andres, a veteran homeschooler and non-fiction writer, treats us to her first novel, The Paradise Project (Hillside Education, 2015). A work in homage to the beloved Austen, this is a modern tale of romance and manners, with some comedy thrown in for good measure.
Elizabeth Benning is in her early 30s, recently unemployed, and in search of a New Year's Resolution. Her brother-in-law Pat (married to Elizabeth's older sister Jane) takes great joy in teasing Elizabeth and having her fail. She had been given two books for Christmas, The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and Never Too Late by John Holt. Having read nothing but the titles of either book, she came up with the "Never Too Late for Happiness Project." Pat suggests that she come up with one activity each month as well as help him with the "Fra Angelico Series" of events that he runs at the local Catholic college.
The novel follows Elizabeth through the trials and travails of each month, made all the more challenging by the appearance of two blond newcomers – Ralph and Gretchen.
This is a fun read with, of course, a happy ending. Andres is a talented writer who one hopes will grace us with more Catholic fiction in the future.

Written by Mathew Naismith
Dreams: It is said by many, we live within a dream so does this make our actual dreams something else and are our actual dreams we have when we fall asleep more to do with reality than our awaken state? This of course couldn't be because a lot of our dreams are too farfetched to be real. What if I still said they are just as real as our awaken state, you would think I would have to be loony to believe this or at least delusional.
In my last post I wrote about light, everything is of the light no matter how dark or destructive it seems to us and what makes it dark and destructive is time which fragments consciousness into different vibratory frequencies which give us different forms of darkness and/or light. Unlike our awoken state we are capable of anything within our dreams like breathing while under water or walking through fire without getting burnt; surly I couldn't be saying these things are real because they too are of the light!!
Let's look at something else. A lot of people today are also saying nothing is actually physical, there is no physicality but they also say it's all an illusion which I don't agree on. All it is to me is a different reality. Why do all realties have to assimilate with our perception of reality and if it doesn't it has to be an illusion? Disregarding if it's an illusion or not, the physical world we know to be real might not seem to be all it seems to us. If we take into consideration that nothing is actually what it seems either it be in our dreams or physical reality, what is more real and physical, dreams or what we call reality?
At the moment we have looked at everything being of light and physical realties like this reality are not as physical as first thought, both concepts seem to coincide which each other's, now let's look at dreams again. Dreams don't seem to be as unreal or imaginary as first thought nor do they seem that different to our awaken state of consciousness but are they real? We can't breathe underwater nor can we walk through fire without being burnt in our awoken state without assistance so it stands to reason we shouldn't be able to do this in any real reality so dreams have to be noted as being unreal or imaginative!!
What if I now said walking through fire without assistance and not being burnt in any way is as real as walking through the fire and being burnt? Both realities are true only because both take a different perception in what we are aware of at any given time. Do I believe Jesus walked on water and turned water into wine? Yes, for the main reason that everything is created from a light energy source, consciousness itself. We look at fire being what it is because that is what we have been taught to expect of fire, we soon learnt it burns while growing up. Fire, like everything else around us, is created from minute light particles (consciousness) which are very much alive. Fire is produced by the particles of light changing vibratory rate so it will seem hot and burn us if we get too close to the flames. The burning effect of fire is expected so of course it's going to burn us. Because we expect this are we just manifesting the effects of the fire and everything else of this reality and if this reality is just a manifestation of our thoughts it must be all an illusion!!
Well it might seem that way. We are talking about an intelligent living conscious source here in these minute particles of light, it's not something that is in itself delusional, everything it creates is real in one sense or another. We must remember here, we are also made up of numerous light particles which react to other forms of light particles vibrating at different frequencies. When we walk through a fire in an awaken state we are one form of light particles vibrating at a different frequency to the fire which is made up of different light particles vibrating at different frequencies. This is just one lot of light particles, being us, reacting to another lot of light particles, being the fire. Dreams on the other hand don't have to be influenced by the same laws of time, the only reason they are is because we imagine ourselves in an awoken state of consciousness while dreaming.
In our awaken state of consciousness, we see fire instead of light particles but what if we truly believed that fire and everything else was made up of an infinite amount of light particles? We would find ourselves in a matrix of just light particles with no difference in vibratory rate. It's the vibratory rate of light particles that give it it's form like with fire & water for instance. Fire would no longer burn and water would no longer drown us because everything would all be within the same matrix.
These living intelligent light particles want to take form of some kind, they don't want to just see themselves as one thing but everything they are of which is everything we/they could imagine, this is true awareness and oneness. This is the main reason I don't desire to ascend to my original state of being, being just light particles. The more we imagine the more we are at one so in actual fact there is no illusion but the illusion of illusions!!
Try walking through fire or breathing in water in a dream knowing it doesn't have to be what it seems, this will reprogram your mind to be more accepting of what everything around us is made of, minute living intelligent light particles!!

Who can resist a great city temple? The old, the new, the festival carts, they are all wonderful in their own way. These are a few from my Malleswaram walkabout, just days before Pongal, the winter harvest festival. We didn't go anywhere special in India this time, just stayed put with family, but who needs to when there is so much to see in our own neighborhood?
Happy Pongal!

Several days ago, I received a message from one of my Facebook friends who complained that Free Games Zone acted like a browser hijacker and he had tried removing it from his computer a few times but it was too stubborn that it kept coming back. Then, I searched on Google and found that Free Games Zone is a browser extension. I decided to install it on my PC and remove it on my own.
So, I clicked on the search result, and then was redirected to a website showing its related information. See the below screen.
Based on the description on the right side of the page, I sorted out the information about this extension as below:
Name: Free Games Zone
Type: Browser extension
Function: Enable users to easily keep up to date with new games, game news, and search the web with Free Games Zone new tabs.
Behavior: Configure users' New Tab page to Free Games Zone to provide these features content and features described within users' New Tab page.
Then, I clicked on the green "ADD TO CHROME" button in the top right hand corner above and installed this extension on my Google Chrome browser. Below is how it looks on the Extensions page.
Surely, I am not in a hurry to remove it from my browser. I am going to see how annoying and stubborn it is. I exited Google Chrome and restarted it. Then, I noticed that my homepage and startup page were not changed (it is still http://www.google.com), but the new tab page was changed to "http://www.search.ask.com" which is a search site.
I didn't feel surprise about this, since it had become a normal thing for me. I often get an unwanted website to become my homepage, start page or new tab page when installing a desired application on my browsers.
Well, let's return to the subject. This site offered several Free Games Zone related links, allowing users to access various games websites, a search box in the middle of the page for users to search the internet, and also some quick links to some famous sites, such as Yahoo, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram.
When I typed "remove browser hijacker" into the search box and clicked on the Search button, I got a lot of ads related to the key words, both on the top and bottom of the page. Besides, there were many suggested searches in the search results list and on the right side of the page.
Personally, I don't like to get so many unwanted links in the search results. So, I decided to reset my new tab page. Then I went to the Settings page (click on the Chrome menu in the top right corner of the browser window and clicking on Settings), and under "On startup", I found that the new tab page was controlled by the Free Games Zone extension.
Without hesitation, I clicked on the "Disable extension" button. Then, I tried opening a new tab page, and it was a blank page this time, instead of the website http://www.search.ask.com.
Surely, the step above only disables the extension, not remove it completely. The following are my steps to remove this extension.
1) Click on the Chrome menu in the top right corner of the Chrome browser.
2) Click "Settings".
3) In the open window, click on "Extensions".
4) Find Free Games Zone in the list of all installed Extensions, click on the trashcan icon next to it.
5) Click the Remove button when a dialog box appears. The extension was removed immediately.
To check whether the extension have been removed completely, I closed the browser window, restarted Google Chrome, and went to the Extensions page again. Luckily, the Free Games Zone extension was no longer there.
Above is my personal experience on how to remove Free Games Zone extension. Lucky, I succeeded the first time I tried removing it.
Additional information:
1. How can you remove Free Games Zone from other browsers such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox?
Internet Explorer:
Open Internet Explorer.
Click on "Manage Add-ons" in Internet Explorer's Tools menu.
In the pop-up window, click on the Toolbars and Extensions tab. On the right side, you will see all installed extensions and toolbars.
Select the item you don't want, click on the Disable button.
Restart your browser.
Mozilla Firefox:
Open Mozilla Firefox.
Click on Firefox's Tools menu, and select Add-ons. This will open a window showing all your installed extensions.
Find the extension you don't want and click the "Remove" button next to it.
Restart your browser.
2. What if Free Games Zone extension still appears after you remove it and restart the browser?
If unluckily this happens, you need to check your installed program list. In some cases, extensions or toolbars will be installed as a windows program and should be removed via Control Panel. Take these steps to check and remove the related program:
Windows XP:
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.

UEFA has confirmed the Premier League's top four will all qualify for the Champions League even if Liverpool win the trophy and finish fifth.
Chelsea became European champions for the first time in 2012, but finished sixth in the league, resulting in fourth-placed Tottenham missing out on Champions League entry for the following season.
UEFA said: "The Champions League titleholder is guaranteed a place in the group stage, even if it does not qualify for the competition through its domestic championship.
"This allocation does not affect the ones of its national association. In that particular case with Liverpool, as the Champions League titleholder, not qualified to the competition through its domestic championship, the association may be represented by five clubs in the competition.
"Those are UCL titleholder, top domestic competition's winner, runner-up, third and fourth-placed clubs."
UEFA introduced this rule in 2005 when Liverpool won the Champions League but finished fifth, behind Everton in the Premier League.
As a result, both teams qualified for the Champions League for the 2005/06 season.

Finian's Oscar, a three-time Grade 1 winner and rising star for Colin Tizzard and owners the late Ann and Alan Potts, has died aged six from complications following an attack of colic.
Winner of the Manifesto Novices' Chase at Aintree last season, Finian's Oscar also claimed the Mersey Novices' Hurdle at the same track in 2017, while his other Grade 1 success came in Sandown's Tolworth Novices' Hurdle.
From 13 career starts, the son of Oscar won seven times, and earned connections £220,396 in total prize-money.
He was last seen running at the Punchestown festival in April, where he was involved in the dramatic finish to the Champion Novice Chase won by The Storyteller.
Approaching the last fence, Finian's Oscar was poised to challenge for victory under Robbie Power, but was carried out by Al Boum Photo.

In my poetic memoir, That Which Awakens Me, I share my journey of self-discovery from a law school graduate to a creative woman who learned to open the door to authentic living.

Website Review
Yesterday I did some googling on St. Brigid, and I found two posts in the very popular world-Orthodox site of a..sinner, molonlabe70. This site has a collection of selected Orthodox treasures, writings of Holy Fathers and many lives of saints.
Typical of world-Orthodoxy a..sinner defends the use of the new calendar and accuses the old calendarists of being "schismatics" and says they are "not canonical."
However, molonabe's main argument for the new calendar seems to be that the only alternative [super-correct disease] is far worse. Untypical of a world-Orthodox site, there are some posts on the end times and against ecumenism; and even one post that has caught a glimpse of the Royal Path: http://molonlabe70.blogspot.com/2010/01/ecumenism-and-schismatic-old.html In this article we can see the frustration of a sincere soul trying to choose between the two extremes of world-Orthodoxy and "true" Orthodoxy [i.e., renovationism and super-correct].
I did notice, though, in the sidebar, there is a listing of Orthodox Churches in Las Vegas. Every Orthodox Church in Las Vegas is listed except the one with the myrrh-streaming icon of St. Nicholas.
It is good that the Sister Churches, the Royal Path Churches, are not considered members of the world-Orthodoxy club.
I hope everyone who reads this and who has a chance to visit Las Vegas will go venerate this holy icon and receive the blessing of being in the presence of a heavenly manifestation on earth.

Date de l'événement:
A short science fiction film screening followed by a discussion on prison abolition with Amina Mohamed, Sheena Hoszko and Nasrin Himada.
Doors 7:00 pm
Film 7:30 pm (sharp!)
Discussion 8:00 pm
Come enjoy the Premiere of the short science fiction film "Emergent Visions: No Prisons!". In November 2018, a group of artists and activists got together to create a 10-minute prison abolitionist science fiction film. Building from adrienne maree brown's 'Emergent Strategy' principles, Amina Mohamed, Nikki Shaffeeullah, Lolo Sirois, Romina Hernández and Maude Matton co-created the 10-minute film about Rhonie: a prison drone who learns to develop empathy and joins the prison abolitionist movement. Re-appropriating carceral archival footage, the film is an attempt to transform state representation of prisons through comedy and satire.
The screening will be followed by a discussion on prison abolition, transformative justice and science fiction with:
Amina Mohamed is a queer Somali Muslim community organizer and educator. She is passionate about and committed to creating welcoming and inclusive communities. Her orientation towards centering inclusivity and spaces that promote safety and healing is grounded in her experiences of marginalization, poverty, erasure and occupying a disposable body. Her cultural background, lived experience and academic knowledge of the intersections of patriarchy/diaspora/poverty and systems of oppression will uniquely benefit her in this position.
Sheena Hoszko is a sculptor, anti-prison organizer, and settler living and working in Tio'tia:ke (Montréal), in Kanien'kehá:ka territory. Selected exhibitions include Centre Clark and La Centrale (Montreal), A Space (Toronto), Artspace (Peterborough), The New Gallery (Calgary), and Blackwood Gallery (Mississauga). Recent / Upcoming projects include a talk at the Queens Museum (NYC) as part of Open Engagement, and a sculptural work to be presented at the Musée d'art de Joliette (QC). Her writing has been published in M.I.C.E magazine and within the upcoming Free Inside: The Life and Work of Peter Collins, published by Ad Astra Comixs.
Nasrin Himada is a Palestinian writer, editor, and curator based in Tio'tia:ke (Montréal), in Kanien'kehá:ka territory. Their writing on contemporary art has appeared in Canadian Art, C Magazine, Critical Signals, The Funambulist, Fuse Magazine, and MICE Magazine, among others. They are the co-editor of contemptorary.org.
Popcorn and light snacks will be provided!
Free Entrance
Space is wheelchair accessible
Le film et la discussion seront en anglais, mais une traduction chuchotée vers le français sera offerte.

It could be a cold winter for customers of the Lackawanna County-based heating oil company A&B Fuel.
It could be a cold winter for customers of the Lackawanna County-based heating oil company A&B Fuel.
Without warning, the Gouldsboro company stopped delivering heating oil when it went out of business last week, leaving customers who pre-purchased winter heating oil without heating fuel — or their money.
"We pre-bought oil for more than $2,200," said Kenneth Woods of Sciota. "We haven't had any oil delivered since Thanksgiving."
Woods says this winter's heating oil deliveries to him and other A&B Fuel customers have been erratic and have only partially filled the tanks.
Woods and his wife, Debra, signed a contract for their heating oil at a locked-in price of $1.99 per gallon, a "far better" price than any other oil company, he says.
Ed Kostal of Canadensis signed a contract with A&B Fuel on March 19 for the locked-in price of $1.99 per gallon, agreeing to buy 800 gallons. Kostal paid his $1,600 bill that same month, but says his fuel deliveries dried up in December.
"I ran out of fuel last Friday, Dec. 21," Kostal said. "I knew because it got cold."
The A&B Fuel Co. is owned by Arthur and Beverly Baio, who customers say have been reliable in the past.
"I've been working with these people for four or five years and I've never had a problem with them," said Joseph Cameron of Bartonsville. "This is just such a shock."
Cameron's contract with the company called for a locked-in price of $2.29 per gallon of heating oil on 800 gallons.
After delivery of only 252 gallons, the last coming on Dec. 8, Cameron will still be without $1,254 worth of fuel this winter.
Customers will not only be without the fuel they have already paid for, but will also have to heat their homes on more expensive fuel for the rest of the winter.
"To me it seems they promised the moon and now they can't deliver," Woods said. "If I have to buy oil now I'm going to have to pay about $3.09 a gallon."
Callers to the fuel company are greeted by a short, simple answering machine message saying: "A&B Fuel Company is no longer open for business."
Messages left by the Pocono Record were not returned on Sunday.
Customers with heating oil complaints are advised by the state attorney general to call the Bureau of Consumer Protection's toll-free hotline at (800) 441-2555. There is no way to know how many customers are affected by the company's closing. The Pocono Record received numerous calls and e-mails over the weekend from A&B Fuel customers.
Now many customers are left asking what will happen to the money they already paid for oil and how they will heat their homes this winter.
"I don't know what to do for now, what's going to happen?" Woods asked.

text: Nishikori has two wins from three matches [AFP]Japan's Kei Nishikori surged to a three-set victory over alternate David Ferrer at the ATP World Tour Finals and must now wait anxiously to see if he has done enough to reach the semi-finals. The 24-year-old lost the opening set to the gritty Spaniard, a late stand-in for injured Milos Raonic, but played beautifully after that to seal a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 win - his second in Group B after also beating Andy Murray. The result was enough to guarantee six-time champion Roger Federer a place in the semi-finals even before the Swiss walks on court to face home favourite Murray in the evening session. Should Murray win in straight sets he would top the group, but any other result would send Federer through as group winner with Nishikori runner-up and the Scot packing his bags. Earlier, Canada's Milos Raonic withdrew from the tournament due to injury and was replaced by Ferrer. The 23-year-old lost his first two round-robin matches at the season-ending tournament to Federer and Murray although still had an outside chance of reaching the semis. "I am sad to announce that I have to withdraw from the rest of this competition, due to a low grade tear in my quad. It was a hard decision," Raonic said. "You, the fans deserve a great show, and I wouldn't step out if I couldn't. I am sorry for the fans. I will do everything to be here next year." SOURCE: Reuters Sport Tennis

Edible has published the latest reasons to check out our favorite cuisine in NYC, starting with these:
"Ube and Filipino food have been making the rounds on social media lately. Purple soft-serve and cakes made with the vividly colored yam abound on Instagram, and New Yorkers love eating at Jollibee, the archipelago nation's famous fried chicken joint. There's more interest in what Filipino food is and the flavors it has to offer the city.
"But this cuisine is a lot more than just another "ethnic" trend; talented chefs of Filipino descent are sharing flavors that they grew up with and love. It's become evident now that there are more restaurants in Manhattan that are introducing a reimagined versions of Filipino food those chefs grew up with to new patrons."
Lumpia Shack Snackbar, Flip Sigi and Pig & Khao are the delicious destinations highlighted in Beyond Ube: Where and Why to Eat Filipino Food in New York City.

To avoid excessive noise and vibrations, your washing machine must be level with all four feet touching the floor.
Place your level on the washing machine and check both side to side and front to back. For proper operation, all four feet must be in contact with the floor. Your washing machine may appear level even if this isn't the case. To verify the feet are touching the floor, place your hands on opposite sides of the appliance and attempt to rock it.
If your washing machine rocks, the feet need to be adjusted. Prop up the front of the washing machine about four inches with a wood block or similar object that will support the weight of the washing machine.
Adjust the legs of the washer as needed. Use an open-end adjustable wrench to loosen the jam nuts. Turn to adjust the levelling feet.
When the adjustments have been made recheck for levelness. Ensure all feet touch the floor, the washing machine is stable and level. If your washing machine needs repair, contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

Erythroxylum areolatum
Common Names: Redwood Swamp Redwood, False Cocaine, Smokewood
Family: Erythroxylaceae
Habit Erythroxylum areolatum grows as a shrub or small tree to 10 meters in height and a trunk to 25 cm in diameter. The leaves are arranged alternately, are elliptical, to 15 cm in length and 5 cm in width. The abaxial side of the leaf shows two faint lines running parallel to the mid vein. The lines are caused by differences in the areole size between the inner and outer portions of the leaf. The leaf margin is entire and the apex is acute. There are two stipules at the base of the petiole.
