Public Eye: Hillary's Judgment
On June 3, at the end of an epic contest, Democrats nominated Barack Obama as their presidential candidate rather than Hillary Clinton. Sixteen months ago, few would have predicted that a relatively unknown African-American Senator would defeat the famous wife of the 42nd U.S. President. While many factors contributed to the outcome, the grueling campaign highlighted a critical difference between the candidates: Obama demonstrated better judgment than did Clinton.
Given Senator Clinton's lengthy experience in the public eye, it's surprising that her decision-making was less astute than that of Obama. But this difference between them was obvious from the onset of the competition. Senator Clinton ran as someone who had voted to give President Bush authority to invade Iraq, while Obama had opposed the war from the onset. Curiously, Clinton never apologized for her critical lapse in judgment.
Clinton's campaign had three fatal strategic flaws. Because she was the heavy favorite, HRC ran as the inevitable candidate rather than offer a compelling single reason why voters should choose her. When Obama became the proponent of change, this cast Clinton as an advocate of the status quo. The second flaw was that Clinton relied upon conventional fundraising, a relatively small number of large donors who would max out to her campaign; Obama used the Internet and developed a huge number of small donors who would contribute periodically. As a result, Obama raised more money than did Clinton. The third flaw was that Clinton assumed the election would be over by Super Tuesday, February 5th, and therefore her campaign did not pay proper attention to states such as Virginia whose primaries came later and she did not take caucus states seriously. Although experienced men and women surrounded HRC, ultimately these flaws were the product of her faulty decision-making.
When Clinton got behind in the delegate battle, she adapted and reeled off victories in states such as Pennsylvania and her political persona changed into "Hillary the fighter." While this transformation energized her campaign—and proved effective with blue-collar voters—it also produced a string of nasty attacks on Obama: Clinton slammed him for the statements of Reverend Wright, condemned his tangential association with former Weatherman Bill Ayers, and argued he was fatally inexperienced, that even Republican John McCain would do a better job as President. These tactics showed questionable judgment.
As it became obvious that Obama had an insurmountable delegate lead, HRC's campaign launched a two-pronged response. First, they suggested selection of the eventual Democratic nominee should not be based upon the number of delegates won, but rather on the total popular vote cast in the caucuses and primaries. There were three crucial problems with this line of reasoning: it ran counter to party rules; it included the flawed Michigan primary where Obama and other candidates honored an agreement to take their names off the ballot, whereas Clinton did not; and, it did not count certain caucus states.
The second response of the Clinton campaign to Obama's impending win was to play the race card: Senator Clinton and her surrogates suggested Obama was not electable because in the general election he would lose the votes of blue-collar workers, because he was black.
As the competition entered the final few weeks, Clinton lost a critical primary in North Carolina and it became apparent she had no chance of winning the nomination. When asked why she continued, HRC responded she still hoped to convince Democratic super delegates to rally to her cause and quipped there were only a few weeks to go and "We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June." Many interpreted this as a suggestion she remained in the race because of the likelihood Obama might be killed. While this outrageous comment was widely condemned, Clinton never apologized to Obama.
In the last days of the campaign, the Clinton campaign searched for reasons for their loss and chose to blame it on sexism. They condemned the media, Democratic Party officials, the Obama campaign, and even Senator Obama. But an independent study indicated the media coverage was remarkably even-handed.
On the evening of June 3, after it was clear that Obama had garnered the Democratic nomination, Clinton spoke to her supporters and refused to concede. In defiant tones she said, "In the coming days, I'll be consulting with supporters and party leaders to determine how to move forward with the best interests of our party and our country guiding the way." As partisans chanted, "Denver, Denver"—an apparent suggestion she should appeal the outcome in the August Democratic convention—HRC asked them to e-mail her suggestions for her next course of action. Her speech lacked graciousness.
Some have criticized the 17-month-long Democratic nomination competition as taking too long and costing too much money. However one feels about this grueling process, it subjected both Clinton and Obama to a pressure-cooker environment that revealed their true character. Hillary Clinton had three serious flaws: an unwillingness to recognize mistakes; a refusal to apologize for errors; and a lack of civility. Ultimately, all of these derived from a fatal lack of judgment.

On August 6 I participated in the 2nd annual 40Kegger. This was a beer-themed Warhammer 40K tournament: 1000 points, only 1 HQ, 90 minute games, and BEER! The venue was at the residence of Greg and J.P. (standing right, in the photo above), the tournament organizers, who reside in a large cabin at Bird's Hill Provincial Park.
The scenarios were beer themed. Game one, your forces had to try and seize beer kegs. Game two, your forces have already drunk from the kegs so are impaired; e.g. vehicles behaved as if in difficult terrain since their pilots were DUI. Game three, kegs of beer could revive an HQ figure who was reduced to even 0 wounds.
Our entry fees went towards the purchase of a (real) keg of beer, smokies, burgers and some gift certificates from Games Workshop.
Two pools of players competed for standing after the first two games, with the 1st place in each pool playing the 2nd place person of the other pool in the semi-finals. The winners of those games faced off in the finals. Tables were also available for open gaming during the playoffs. And, did I mention, BEER! All in all, a great way to spend time with those who share a love for 40K.
Congratulations to Chris Dart, who was the Tournament Winner with his Ork army, consisting of 70+ Boyz and assorted Killa Kanz. I managed to eke out 2nd place (or, "First Loser") with my Eldar - who really should have brought a Night Spinner artillery tank and some flamers to the party.
Batreps to follow, after my in-progress Las Vegas reports.
Thanks again to Greg and J.P. for a great time.

Best iPad mini 3 & iPad mini 2 Cases
We review products independently, but we may earn affiliate commissions from buying links on this page. Terms of use.
Apple's iPads continue to set the standard for consumer tablets thanks to the unbeatable ecosystem of apps designed specifically for tablets. And if you want access to all those great apps in a portable form-factor, the iPad mini is the way to go. Apple's currently selling two versions of its diminutive tablet: the iPad mini 3, and iPad mini 2. The mini 3 is the most feature-packed of the bunch, but it's not the best value—that would be the iPad mini 2, which delivers the same performance for $100 less.
The impeccable 2,048-by-1,536 LCD is the centerpiece here, but the diminutive mini 2 and mini 3 also pack the same 64-bit A7 processor you'll find in the iPhone 5s and original iPad Air. It's not quite on the same level as the A8X featured in the new iPad Air 2, but it's still a more-than-capable setup. And while the resolutions are the same between the full-sized Air and mini, the advantage in sharpness lies with the smaller iPad. Packing all of those pixels into a smaller 7.9-inch display yields an impressive 326 pixels per inch, which trounces the original mini's 163ppi and even outdoes the Air's 264ppi.
In typical Apple tradition, this third-generation iPad mini looks and feels basically identical to its forbearer. The biggest difference is the addition of the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and Apple SIM. The former is useful for securing your device without having to remember a ton of passwords, while the latter lets you easily hop around from carrier to carrier to get the best mobile data deals for you.
With that beautiful display, though, a case to protect your iPad might be more important than ever. Luckily, since all three models are nearly identical, there's already a wealth of cases out there to choose from, and pretty much all cases made for the original iPad mini will fit the newer mini 2 and mini 3.
In addition to protection, many cases also add functionality. Folio cases are a popular option that work as a case when in transit and a stand once you're ready to start browsing the Web or catching up on your favorite TV shows. Then there are shells, sleeves, skins, and everything in between.
When you're an iPad owner, the world is your oyster—pretty much every major accessory maker has cases made just for your tablet. If all the choices have your head spinning, we've rounded up some of the best iPad mini cases out there, so hit the slideshow to check out some of our favorites.

State Legalized Hemp Farming Programs Remain Legal Under Farm Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Hemp Industries Association (HIA), the leading non-profit trade association for 24 years consisting of hundreds of hemp businesses, has released its statement in response to the January 4, 2018, announcement by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions that the Department of Justice would immediately rescind five memoranda issued under the Obama administration that provided guidance on criminal prosecution of marijuana-related offenses under federal law. The five memoranda collectively addressed medical use of marijuana; general enforcement of marijuana laws; marijuana-related financial crimes; and marijuana issues on tribal lands. The best known of the memoranda was issued by Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole on August 29, 2013. In it, the Department of Justice announced a general policy of non-enforcement of federal marijuana law in states that had instituted their own "strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems," which served to protect public health and safety and did not implicate certain federal law enforcement priorities.
Because the definition of "marihuana" under the Controlled Substances Act does not distinguish between marijuana and industrial hemp, the rescinded guidance memoranda all implied inclusion of — and effectively gave some protection to — industrial hemp farming programs. The collection of federal memoranda had established a general policy of federal non-interference in otherwise state-legal enterprises engaged in cultivation, processing and sale of marijuana, as well as industrial hemp plants and products. The January 4 announcement by Attorney General Sessions has given rise to questions about the continued sustainability of industrial hemp in states where such activities are legal.
It is the position of the Hemp Industries Association that industrial hemp remains protected under exemptions to the Controlled Substances Act, per §7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (the "Farm Bill"), which permits the cultivation of industrial hemp by institutions of higher education and under state agricultural pilot programs, as defined for purposes of research. Additionally, the U.S. Consolidated Appropriations Acts of both 2016 and 2017 include a provision that disallows the use of federal funds "to prohibit the transportation, processing, sale, or use of industrial hemp that is grown or cultivated in accordance with the [Farm Bill] within or outside the State in which the industrial hemp was grown." This further precludes the Department of Justice from pursuing legal action against Farm Bill compliant hemp farming, processing, manufacturing and commerce.
Hence, while the recent developments by the Department of Justice regarding marijuana are concerning, the Hemp Industries Association stands firm that industrial hemp business activities will continue to expand and flourish in the United States.
"As we extol our optimism regarding industrial hemp, we must also make it clear that the HIA does not support the recent rescission action by the Department of Justice," said Colleen Keahey, executive director of the Hemp Industries Association. "This rescission stands to impact important business relationships that exist between industrial hemp brands and hemp product manufacturers, and the legal retail marijuana market. Marijuana retailers reach a focused pro-Cannabis market where hemp clothing, food, paper, plastics and hemp-derived CBD product sales are known to perform well," she continued.
"This decision is a step backward for U.S. Cannabis policy, and boldly ignores voters who overwhelmingly support marijuana legalization. If anything, the threat by the Department of Justice to crack down on statelegal marijuana could result in spurring Congress to once-and-for-all act to fully and finally protect the growth and expansion of the new American hemp economy," said Joy Beckerman, Hemp Industries Association Board Vice President.
The HIA acknowledges that the recent action by U.S. Attorney General Sessions is cause for concern, however this change does not give way to concern for the hemp industries. The HIA will share calls-toaction regarding necessary amendments to the U.S. Industrial Hemp Farming Act (H.R. 3530), related hemp legislation, including Industrial Hemp Banking Act (H.R. 4711), as well as the association's position on the next Farm Bill. The HIA will continue to be work with fellow hemp organizations in support of pro-hemp policies to ensure the Farm Bill offers more comprehensive language to improve and expand upon the reintroduction of industrial hemp as an agricultural commodity in the U.S.
The Hemp Industries Association (HIA) represents the interests of the hemp industry and encourages the research and development of new hemp products. More information about hemp's many uses and hemp advocacy may be found at www.TheHIA.org.

Marks & Spencer complete installation of UK's largest solar panel array
Marks & Spencer (M&S) has completed the installation of the UK's largest single roof mounted solar panel array on its East Midlands distribution centre in Castle Donington.
With the final panel laid and the system fully commissioned, the solar PV array will span the site's 900,000 sq ft roof and will generate over 5,000 MWh of electricity per year, the equivalent amount of energy to power 1,190 houses.
The 24,272 PV panel structure, which would cover 25 miles if the panels were laid end to end, will lower M&S's carbon footprint by 48,000 tonnes over 20 years. The energy generated will provide nearly 25 per cent of the energy required for the fully automated distribution centre, which is big enough to hold 11 football pitches.
The above is an excerpt of M&S starts generating renewable energy from UK's largest roof mounted solar array Press Release by Marks & Spenser. Image Credit: William Murphy via Flickr.

Around School
40th anniversary of Opening Chapel
Guest preacher Rev. Dr. Victor J. Belton is pastor of Peace Lutheran Church, Decatur GA. He spoke to the LHS student body, faculty, staff, and guests about this year's theme verse from Romans 12 -
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Dr. Belton stressed that we need to recognize that things always change in this world, so we also need to be transformed. But, we must do this by conforming to God and His will, not to the world. He exhorted Lutheran High School to continue in this transformation as it has for the past 40 years.
Head of School Michael Brandt then recognized former Board of Director members, former LHS teachers, alumni, and parents of current and former students.
Mr. Carl Schulenburg, one of LHS' original teachers who retired only two years ago, noted the many changes over the past forty years. He graphically illustrated the growth of LHS by calling up 13 current students to the stage (above). This is the number of freshmen and sophomores comprising the original student body; current enrollment is 251!
Rev. Jeff Alexander, pastor of Mt. Olive Lutheran Church and member of the LHS Board of Directors, dedicated several new leaders, faculty, and staff - Bev McIntosh, administrative assistant; Taylor West, art teacher; and Lisa Hartzburg, president of the Board.View more photos from the chapel and reception here.

How fit are your field service offerings to face the New Year
The start of a new year is once again upon us! 2014 saw technological innovations and rapid advancements. From the introduction of Google's self-driving car, to 3-D printing, to smart watches, the way we live and communicate is becoming increasingly more efficient — including the world of field service and the solutions that come along with it.
As wearable technology, connected devices, and the reliance on technology become the norm, it's important to stay ahead of the game in terms of your business. While it's true that technology can't replace the authenticity of human interaction and customer service excellence, its benefits are some that can't be achieved by technicians alone. Connected devices not only send alerts as they occur, but can notify users about problems before they happen. Early issue detection can play a huge role in reducing crisis-level emergencies and the frequencies at which they occur. Additionally, these devices provide critical information about how a system is being used — information that can pinpoint problem areas and cut down on costs from service calls. Maybe it's time to reevaluate if you haven't already jumped on the technological bandwagon.
Not sure where to begin in reassessing your organization? Ask yourself these three questions:
- How "fit" are your field service offerings to face the New Year?
- How well are you capitalizing on sales opportunities from within your field service team?
- Are you leveraging technology to the fullest?
The advancement of technology is also leading to customers expecting more in terms of faster and better customer service. And as a field service organization, customer service makes up a large percentage of the overall success of your company. Equipping your technicians with the right tools is an easy way to ensure service success.
Now is the perfect time to reassess your business and analyze whether or not you're utilizing all the resources available. The benefits of these innovations are moving into the "must haves" list that will help you maintain competitive advantage. Make 2015 the year for change (for real this time)!

On March 18th at 9pm, our documentary "Happy 100th Birthday Dame Vera Lynn" was broadcast on BBC Two to an audience of over 2.2 million with an 11.6% share.
The documentary is a celebratory look back over the life of Dame Vera Lynn: her extensive career, her time entertaining the troops on the front line in Burma, and her more private home life as a wife and mother to her daughter Virginia. Presented by Katie Derham, the one-hour documentary took us from Dame Vera Lynn's early life in East London right through to today, just days from her 100th birthday. Included were interviews from celebrity friends and fans of the star, including Sir Paul McCartney, Miriam Margolyes, Sir Tim Rice and Barry Humphries. Also interwoven were conversations with veterans from Burma, telling their own emotional stories of just what Dame Vera Lynn and her wonderful voice meant to them.
As well as trending at the time, the documentary received a swell of praise on Twitter:
We're very proud of how the documentary came together and of the team who trawled through hours of archive and red tape to find the very best clips for the programme. Most of all it was a joy to work with Virginia, Katie Derham, our experts, the celebrities, the veterans and, of course, the inspirational Dame Vera Lynn herself.
Dame Vera's voice is truly one-of-a-kind and connects across the generations. We very much hope it will continue for a long time yet.

You loved righteousness and you hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, anointed you with oil of joy from among your peers. Psalms 45:7
"To place for the mourners of Zion, to give them glory instead of ashes, oil of joy instead of mourning, a mantle of praise instead of a feeble spirit, and they shall be called the elms of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, with which to glory."
Isaiah 61:3
The Oil of Gladness "Oil of Joy" – the Gladness Oil is also known as the Oil of Joy has an Olive oil base. It is specifically blended together with cinnamon which symbolizes gladness and joy. It is said when the Messiah returns, he will give the Jewish people "the oil of joy" as a comfort for our mourning. The Oil of Gladness is also the garment of praise for the spirit and appreciation. These trees are called the trees of righteousness, and the planting of them, glorifies the LORD, so that He may be glorified"
It is the Jewish way to be joyful and thankful to G-d always, even in times of sorrow. In times of sorrow when it is the easy solution to stay miserable, this oil is used to remind us that G-d commands us to choose life, joy, and appreciation. We learn that life always goes on even if it sometimes seems too hard to obey, this is how G-d teaches us to defeat bad things and bring out your warrior spirit.
Olive oil was often used to anoint the head and body after a bath as a symbol of honor, joy, and favor. Ruth was advised by Naomi to wash and anoint herself and put on her best garment, before seeking out Boaz (Ruth 3:3). David washed, anointed himself, and put on fresh clothing, before entering the house of God to worship G-d. This oil was also used by young maidens when they were betrothed as a symbol of rejoicing, health and looking forward.
Also Known as the Oil of Joy
Olive oil blended with cinnamon and frankincense is the scent used in the bible as a perfume for seduction. This blend gives you a sense of spirituality and a joyful experience. This combination enhances confidence and security for giving you a positive outlook in life. The Oil of Gladness is sent to you straight from the holy land where the oils are pressed and blended with pure organic essential oils grown in rich Israeli soil.
Buy the Oil of Gladness for meditation, confidence, and thankfulness.
The original recipe as used by King David, Ruth, and other biblical people.
Oils are all organically grown and produced in the holy land.
The scent of this oil of gladness gives a sensation of biblical times.
Scent instructions were written very specifically in the bible.

My worst ever professional mistake was in an Annual Report for a one-hundred-million dollar corporation, when I was the director of marketing and communications. Unfortunately, an innocent little 't' went missing from the word 'assets.' The board was not amused by "This year, we experienced an increase in corporate asses."
Recently, I found out what one little vowel can do to Rowena and the Dark Lord, book 2 in the Land's End series.
Okay, REALLY uncool when you misspell the name of your own book on a guest blog.
Rowena and the Dark LARD is probably not the best way to get sales for a 'Game of Thrones Lite' fantasy series.
However, as I do write comedy, I'm thinking about a parody.
Is it okay to write a parody of your own book?
Draft one: Rowena and the Dark Lard
Synopsis 1: Rowena moves back to Land's End and opens up a bakery.
Synopsis 2: Cedric's use of dark magic goes totally out of control, and so does his appetite.
Synopsis 3: Thane and Rowena return to Land's End and become pig farmers.
Synopsis 4: Rowena messes up another spell that causes all who look at her to turn into donuts.
Synopsis 5: Rowena kills off Nigella Lawson in a battle with pastry rollers, and assumes the role
of Prime Time Network Food Goddess <sic>.
Synopsis 6: Someone takes a totally justified whack at the author. End of series.
Postscript: Recently was quoted by someone as the author of ROWENA AND THE DORK LORD. Trial for murder is pending.
Post postscript (where is a Latin scholar when you need one?): Another contract out for the professional book tour company hired by my publisher last month, who, in all their advertising, inadvertently switched book 3 Rowena and the Viking Warlord to…wait for it…Viking Landlord. Yup. Obviously there will be hell to pay if you forget the rent.
Have you some spectacular typos in your past? Share them here! I'll feel better.

OK me and Kevin V. decided to watch a movie we had not heard of yet, so on "ON DEMAND" in the SunDance Films section we rented a movie that has not come out on DVD yet called "Kaboom". It is about this Bisexual guy named Smith played by Thomas Dekker (John Conner on "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") and his best friend Stella who is a Lesbian. The movie starts off with a weird dream that Smith has about the future and some chicks he doesn't know yet, and then he wakes up and masturbates. He has a college roommate named Thor who is naked a lot too. Later Smith has sex with guys and girls, and then Stella has sex with a girl she is dating who is a witch (no, like a real magical one) and after she is done having sex she says "If I cum anymore tonight my cooch is gonna break". There is another cool chick that Smith starts knocking boots with named London, and for Smith's Birthday she gets this guy named Rex he has the hots for to join them in a 3 way. Then more crazy shit happens where Smith is attacked by dudes wearing animal masks and their is a cult after him. He is trying to figure out what all this weird shit is while still finding time to bottom in the back of a van for some hunky beach dude. Stella is trying to dump her witch girlfriend and not get killed, Smith's roommate Thor is trying to learn to self suck in the nude, the guy who played Frank the bunny from "Donnie Darko" shows up, nude beaches, boobies, blood, and more sex. Confused yet? NOT ME! THIS MOVIE MAKES SO MUCH SENSE TO ME IT HURTS. About half way during the movie I realized I did not want it to end, I wish it could have been a 22 episode series. I loved all the characters in it and they were all smart asses so I understood their dialog. This movie is like the TV show "Skins" (the English one thank you very much) meets X-Files. I fuckin loved this nutty ass movie. If you like Bisexual Sex, Straight Sex, Gay Sex, Lesbian Sex and cults trying to destroy the world then this movie is for you. If you are a homophobe, insecure with your sexuality and still think it's 1950. Then you should just watch "Driving Miss Daisy" one more time, and flog your log to Jessica Tandy.
The Trailer:
The Facts:
A. This movie is cool to me.
B. I really did wish it could have been a new unrated TV show.
C. This movie is an apocalyptic film, and I love apocalyptic films.
D. Here is a pic of Smith and London doing it, also it is weird I remembered all the character names in this film.
E. I think my friend Matt Gallo was the wardrobe person on this film, It looked like he dressed everyone in this film to look 90's.
F. Ok the ending was a little fast and forced but for some reason I didn't care. I loved it.
G. This film was sexually honest to me.
H. Seriously go home tonight and watch it ON DEMAND, it will only be available for a short time. This is part of the Sundance Film Festival, and we don't get shit like that here in Atlanta. So rent it bitch. It will probably never be in the theater in Atlanta.
I. Here is a picture of London, Smith and Stella.
J. The director of this film is Gregg Araki who directed "Mysterious Skin", "Splendor", "Nowhere", "The Doom Generation", "Totally Fucked Up", and "The Living End". All his shit is weird but interesting and entertaining.
K. There are a lot of great smart ass lines in this film, and I love smart asses in film.
L. Here is a picture of Smith's college roommate Thor.
M. Seriously Stella's girlfriend Lorelei is a witch with fucked up powers.
N. I love the ending to this film. It makes sense to me and I wish it on everyone.
O. I feel like this film was made for me I totally get it.
P. This poster is hot.

So, I made a game in 72 hours. Well, the competition entry is not entirely what I had envisioned for the concept, but I accomplished quite a bit in the time I had so I'm pretty proud of it. Time Frame is a game about exploring a strange world that moves in slow motion. The game takes place over the span of only 10 seconds, which you experience over 10 minutes. With a theme like 10 seconds and I really wanted to make something that wasn't fast-paced and frantic like I knew 99% of the other entries would be. The idea was to have a vast area that you would never actually be able to completely explore within the time limit. I succeeded with that, but I wasn't able to fill that area with as many sights and sounds as I had hoped. I wanted to have all kinds of things happening in slow motion to emphasize the time dilation, but I ran out of time. In the end there are really only a couple things that give you a frame of reference for how slow time is moving. The first is a fountain at the entrance of an abandoned city that has water falling in slow motion. The second is an event that happens towards the end of the game that reveals why the game ends at all, so I won't spoil it for you (though I have updated the game since the competition deadline and added more stuff… read below).
The art style was something that I chose to make asset creation faster. Everything has a very simple, yet high-def look that emphasizes triangles. I actually made all the textures using a really neat application called Hexels. It's an awesome tool that lets you paint using shapes other than just pixels. I used the trixel shape mode and was able to really quickly develop a unique style. Hexels has a free version that I would recommend everyone check out.
Soon after the close of the competition I added in support for the Oculus Rift as well. I have had the Rift dev kit for about a month now and have been wanting to do something with it for a while. It was a great way to get familiar with the setup so that we can use it while developing Lacuna Passage as well.
I've had most of my time wrapped up in developing Lacuna Passage, but I have been working on Time Frame on the weekends and I managed to update the game with a bunch more stuff to explore and discover. You can play the updated version or the original version via web player, Windows download, or Windows Rift versions from our competition page.
Time Frame was created using Unity. Music by Clark Aboud (also our composer for Lacuna Passage). Programming, art, and design by myself, and additional art by Alex Senechal.

An employer reports employee wages to the Social Security Administration (SSA) by submitting Copy A of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-2. He also must submit a corresponding IRS Form W-3, or Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements. The W-3 asks for much of the same information found on a W-2, but with some additional questions about the employer and the number of W-2 forms being transmitted. These two forms can be filed electronically through the SSA's Business Services Online website, or filled out and mailed to the SSA. The paper version may not be filled in by hand but must be typed in black ink, using 12-point Courier font when possible.
Completion of IRS W-3 form
Check the W-3 to be sure the payer's name and employer identification number match the information supplied on the employer's annual or quarterly tax return.
Fill out total wage and tax information from all of the W-2s, total number of W-2 forms, and Employer Identification Number. The "establishment number" box applies to businesses with separate establishments under one entity. All information must match what you have entered on Form W-2 and other wage-reporting forms.
Check the appropriate box in Section B to indicate what type of employer you are. Some examples are military, government, and household.
Copying and Mailing
Make a copy of the W-3 for your records. Keep each with Copy D of the corresponding W-2 for four years.
Mail the paper form to the SSA, with Copy A of Form W-2, by March 1. The mailing address is listed on the Form W-3. If filing electronically, do so by March 31.
See page 8 of the instructions for Form W-3 for information on penalties for a W-3 that is filed late.
For assistance, call the Internal Revenue Service's Information Reporting Customer Service line at 1-866-455-7438. The IRS also offers a TTY/TDD-capable line for the hearing-impaired: 304-267-3367.
Fill out the form in ink dark enough to be picked up by scanners; each return that cannot be read by the scanner is subject to a fine of $50.

NUX 1.2.0 has been released. NUX is an open-source toolkit meant to make working with XML easier, by providing easy access to Xquery and Xpath, full-text searching through Lucene, pools and factories for documents, builders, transforms, and queries, a streaming path filter API, and the ability to query badly-formed HTML.
It is designed to enable maximum efficiency for on-the-fly matchmaking combining structured and fuzzy fulltext search in realtime streaming applications such as XQuery based XML message queues, publish-subscribe systems for Blogs/newsfeeds, text chat, data acquisition and distribution systems, application level routers, firewalls, classifiers, etc.
Arbitrary Lucene fulltext queries can be run from Java or from XQuery/XPath/XSLT via a simple extension function. The former approach is more flexible whereas the latter is more convenient. Lucene analyzers can split on whitespace, normalize to lower case for case insensitivity, ignore common terms with little discriminatory value such as "he", "in", "and" (stop words), reduce the terms to their natural linguistic root form such as "fishing" being reduced to "fish" (stemming), resolve synonyms/inflexions/thesauri (upon indexing and/or querying), etc. Also see Lucene Query Syntax as well as Query Parser Rules.
For the full release announcement, see http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/xom-interest/2005-May/002299.html .

Top Bosom Quotes
Browse top 207 famous quotes and sayings about Bosom by most favorite authors.
Favorite Bosom Quotes
1. "When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say,`Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away;Give pearls away and rubies But keep your fancy free.'But I was one-and-twenty No use to talk to me.When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again,`The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain;'Tis paid with sighs a plenty And sold for endless rue.'And I am two-and-twenty And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true."
Author: A.E. Housman
Author: A.E. Housman
2. "The stars have not dealt me the worst they could do:My pleasures are plenty, my troubles are two.But oh, my two troubles they reave me of rest,The brains in my head and the heart in my breast.Oh, grant me the ease that is granted so free,The birthright of multitudes, give it to me,That relish their victuals and rest on their bedWith flint in the bosom and guts in the head."
Author: A.E. Housman
Author: A.E. Housman
3. "...the cross of popular evangelicalism is not the cross of the New Testament. It is, rather, a new bright ornament upon the bosom of a self-assured and carnal Christianity whose hands are indeed the hands of Abel, but whose voice is the voice of Cain. The old cross slew men; the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it. The old cross brought tears and blood; the new cross brings laughter. The flesh, smiling and confident, preaches and sings about the cross; before the cross it bows and toward the cross it points with carefully staged histrionics--but upon that cross it will not die, and the reproach of that cross it stubbornly refuses to bear."
Author: A.W. Tozer

4. "America is a young dumb country and it needs all kinds of help. America is a dumb puppy with big teeth that bite and hurt. And we take care of America. We hold America to our bosom; we feed America, we make love to America. There wouldn't be an America if it wasn't for black people. So you have some dedicated black Americans who will die a million deaths to save America. And this is home for us. We don't know really about Africa. We talk it in a romantic sense, but America is it. And so, America is always going to be okay as long as black people don't totally lose their mind, cause we'll pick up the pieces and turn it into a new dance."

7. "And, ah! his castle. The faery solitude of the place, with its turrets of mistly blue, its courtyard, its spiked gate, his castle that lay on the very bosom of the sea with seabirds mewing about its attics, the casements opening onto the green and purple, evanescent departures of the ocean, cut off by the tide from land for half a day . . . that castle, at home neither on the land nor on the water, a mysterious, amphibious place, contravening the materiality of both earth and waves, with the melancholy of a mermaiden who perches on her rocks and waits, endlessly, for a lover who had drowned far away, long ago. That lovely, sad, sea-siren of a place."
Author: Angela Carter
Author: Angela Carter
8. "What do you see when you see me?' She asked him, burying her own face in his bosom. 'Do you want the truth?'She nodded.'The firing squad.''That's not the whole truth. Try again.''Insatiability,' he said with some bitterness.'That's oblique but altogether too simple. Once more,' she insisted. 'One more time.'He was silent for several minutes.'The map of a country in which I only exist by virtue of the extravagance of my metaphors.''Now you're being too sophisticated. And, besides, what metaphors do we have in common?"
Author: Angela Carter
Author: Angela Carter
9. "I have now been married ten years. I know what it is to live entirely for and with what I love best on earth. I hold myself supremely blest - blest beyond what language can express; because I am my husband's life as fully as he is mine. No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am: ever more absolutely bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. I know no weariness of my Edward's society: he knows none of mine, any more than we each do the pulsation of the heart that beats in our separate bosoms; consequently, we are ever together. To be together is for us to be at once free as in solitude, as gay as in company. We talk, I believe, all day long: to talk to each other is but more animated and an audible thinking. All my confidence is bestowed on him, all his confidence is devoted to me; we are precisely suited in character - perfect concord is the result."

10. "My father is deceast, come Gaveston,'And share the kingdom with thy deerest friend.'Ah words that make me surfet with delight:What greater blisse can hap to Gaveston,Then live and be the favorit of a king?Sweete prince I come, these these thy amorous lines,Might have enforst me to have swum from France,And like Leander gaspt upon the sande,So thou wouldst smile and take me in thy armes.The sight of London to my exiled eyes,Is as Elizium to a new come soule.Not that I love the citie or the men,But that it harbors him I hold so deare,The king, upon whose bosome let me die,And with the world be still at enmitie:What neede the artick people love star-light,To whom the sunne shines both by day and night.Farewell base stooping to the lordly peeres,My knee shall bowe to none but to the king.As for the multitude that are but sparkes,Rakt up in embers of their povertie,Tanti: Ile fawne first on the winde,That glaunceth at my lips and flieth away: ...."

11. "Kyle, I was so afraid." Cole lifted his head from the comfort of her bosom to see her face again.She smoothed back his wild, knotted hair. "It's you. It's you. It's you."A crowd in the doorway interrupted their loving revelation. Nurse Susan stormed into the room.Cole ignored them all and kissed Kyle's sleepy lips. "I love you, Kyle. Thank you for being alive. They didn't hurt you, did they?"Kyle sighed. "They hurt me so much when they took you, Cole. That's the worst pain on earth. The worst." Kyle kissed his forehead and ran her hands over his back. "I'm your shadow. I love you too."

14. "A generous intercourse of charity united the most distant provinces, and the smaller congregations were cheerfully assisted by the alms of their more opulent brethren. Such an institution, which paid less regard to the merit than to the distress of the object, very materially conduced to the progress of Christianity. The Pagans, who were actuated by a sense of humanity, while they derided the doctrines, acknowledged the benevolence of the new sect. The prospect of immediate relief and of future protection allured into its hospitable bosom many of those unhappy persons whom the neglect of the world would have abandonned to the miseries of want, of sickness, and of old age. There is some reason likewise to believe, that great numbers of infants, who, according to the inhuman practice of the times, had been exposed by their parents, were frequently rescued from death, baptised, educated, and maintained by the piety of the Christians, and at the expense of the public treasure."
Author: Edward Gibbon

15. "Here, Earth-born, over the lilt of the water,Lisping its music and bearing a burden of light,Bosoming day as a laughing and radiant daughter…Here we may whisper unheard, unafraid of the night.Walking alone…was it splendor, or what, we were bound with?Deep in the time when summer lets down her hair?Shadows we loved and the patterns they covered the ground withTapestries, mystical, faint in the breathless air."

16. "Twas a still, calm night and the moon's pale lightShone over hill and daleWhen friends mute with grief stood around the deathbedOf their loved, lost Lily Lyle.Heart as pure as forest lilyNever knowing guile,Had its home within the bosomOf sweet Lily Lyle."
Author: Flora Thompson

17. "Let the water flow beneath the bridge; let men be men, that is to say, weak, vain, inconstant, unjust, false, and presumptuous; let the world be the world still; you cannot prevent it. Let every one follow his own inclination and habits; you cannot recast them, and the best course is, to let them be as they are and bear with them. Do not think it strange when you witness unreasonableness and injustice; rest in peace in the bosom of God; He sees it all more clearly than you do, and yet permits it. Be content to do quietly and gently what it becomes you to do, and let everything else be to you as though it were not."
Author: François Fénelon
Author: François Fénelon
18. "Even Annie did not then know that it was the soul's hunger, the vague sense of a need which nothing but the God of human faces, the God of the morning and of the starful night, the God of love and self-forgetfulness, can satisfy, that sent her money-loving, poverty-stricken, pining, grumbling old aunt out staring towards the east. It is this formless idea of something at hand that keeps men and women striving to tear from the bosom of the world the secret of their own hopes. How little they know what they look for in reality is their God! This is that for which their heart and their flesh cry out."
Author: George MacDonald
Author: George MacDonald
19. "Strange dim memories, which will not abide identification, often, through misty windows of the past, look out upon me in the broad daylight, but I never dream now. It may be, notwithstanding, that, when most awake, I am only dreaming the more! But when I wake at last into that life which as a mother her child, carries life in its bosom, I shall know that I wake, and shall doubt no more. I wait; asleep or awake, I wait."
Author: George MacDonald
Author: George MacDonald
20. "If there were no life beyond this earth-life, some people I have known would gain immortality by the nobility of our memory of them. With every friend I love who has been taken into the brown bosom of the earth a part of me has been buried there; but their contribution of happiness, strength, and understanding to my being remains to sustain me in an altered world."
Author: Helen Keller
Author: Helen Keller
21. "Oh! ye whose dead lie buried beneath the green grass; who standing among flowers can say- here, here lies my beloved; ye know not the desolation that broods in bosoms like these. What bitter blanks in those black-bordered marbles which cover no ashes! What despair in those immovable inscriptions! What deadly voids and unbidden infidelities in the lines that seem to gnaw upon all Faith, and refuse resurrections to the beings who have placelessly perished without a grave. As well might those tablets stand in the cave of Elephanta as here."
Author: Herman Melville
Author: Herman Melville
22. "Man, my friends,is frail and foolish. We have all of us been told that grace is to be found in the universe. But in our human foolishness and short-sightedness we imagine divine grace to be finite. For this reason we tremble. We tremble before making our choice in life, and after having made it again tremble in fear of having chosen wrong. But the moment comes when our eyes are opened, and we see and realize that grace is infinite. Grace, my friends, demands nothing from us but that we shall await it with confidence and acknowledge it in gratitude. Grace, brothers, makes no conditions and singles out none of us in particular; grace takes us all to its bosom and proclaims general amnesty. See! that which we have chosen is given us, and that which we have refused is, also and at the same time, granted us. Ay, that which we have rejected is poured upon us abundantly. For mercy and truth have met together, and righteousness and bliss have kissed one another!"

23. "She adored all beautiful things in their every curve and fragrance, so that they became part of her. Day by day, she gathered beauty; had she had no heart (she who was the bosom of womanhood) her thoughts would still have been as lilies, because the good is the beautiful."

24. "Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is place in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her."

26. "It was all beginning to run together in the back of Eleanor's mind, and the things that had probably really happened were confused with the things that probably hadn't. And every day everything in her whole past life - the real things and the imaginary things - was being pushed farther and farther back, because going to high school was so enormous, so vast! so different from all of Eleanor's life before. The milling crowds in the hall between classes, all those jostling elbows and swollen shoulders and bosoms, all those enormous hands and feet, they pushed and thumped and shoved at Eleanor's childhood, until there was no room anymore for anything but now, right now, a hurrying rushing now that was just incredibly thrilling, or absolutely rotten and just disgusting, this heaving present moment, right now."

27. "No longer was she merely the dancing-girl who extorts a cry of lust and concupiscence from an old man by the lascivious contortions of her body; who breaks the will, masters the mind of a King by the spectacle of her quivering bosoms, heaving belly and tossing thighs; she was now revealed in a sense as the symbolic incarnation of world-old Vice, the goddess of immortal Hysteria, the Curse of Beauty supreme above all other beauties by the cataleptic spasm that stirs her flesh and steels her muscles, - a monstrous Beast of the Apocalypse, indifferent, irresponsible, insensible, poisoning."

"What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street, you are overcome, suddenly, by a feeling of bliss - absolute bliss - as though you'd suddenly swallowed a bright piece of that late afternoon sun and it burned in your bosom, sending out a little shower of sparks into every particle into every finger and toe?..."

29. "She smiled brightly on Mrs. West. "Who's your dressmaker, Mrs. West?" she asked, with a view to avoiding the woman all costs. Such extremes of fashion as the purple shift dress which Mrs. West was almost wearing was not for Phryne. She preferred her personality to supply the outrageous edge to her appearance, not her exposed bosom."

30. "Welcome to Lorelei's." A saleslady glided up to us. She had white foundation pancaked skin, and went heavy on the eyeliner and red lipstick. She wore a corset that barely contained...I'm gonna say it...her swelling bosom. If she had to sneeze, I was covering my eyes because even a slight cough could pop one of those suckers free."

I've never in my life worn a skirt. I wear a sports bra because with these babies," she circled her bosoms with a pointed finger before dropping her hand to the checkout desk, "I got no choice. God saw fit to grant me an A cup, no way. Since I'm a C, I'm fucked. I have never worn mascara. I do not own a blow dryer. And I get off on goin' down on chicks. Now which one, you or me, has more in common with Chace Keaton?"

38. "I often laughed, and you often gave me a dissatisfied look, till you pressed me to unfold my past before you as if it were a roll of pictures. It was then I felt respect for you. Because you unreservedly showed me your resolution to catch something alive in my being, and to sip the warm blood running in my body, by cutting my heart. At that time, I was still living, and did not want to die. So I rejected your request, promising to satisfy you some day. Now I am going to destroy my heart myself, and pour my blood into your veins. I shall be happy if a new life can enter into your bosom, when my heart has stopped beating."

48. "There were profound reasons for his attachment to the sea: he loved it because as a hardworking artist he needed rest, needed to escape from the demanding complexity of phenomena and lie hidden on the bosom of the simple and tremendous; because of a forbidden longing deep within him that ran quite contrary to his life's task and was for that very reason seductive, a longing for the unarticulated and immeasurable, for eternity, for nothingness. To rest in the arms of perfection is the desire of any man intent upon creating excellence; and is not nothingness a form of perfection?"

You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won't mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever.... connections are made with the heart, not the tongue."

How homes kept cool before air-con
A good range of factors in home building that we seem to have spurned in favour of cheap concrete boxes with expensive to run air conditioners….
And thanks to the wonders of Facebook's 'people also shared' …
Having lived and worked in Brunei and Singapore – on the equator – the difference between Bruneian architecture with verandahs or shades over windows more in the old Malay kampong style, versus Singapore's 'modern' designs which rely heavily on air con was striking. In a new school building (opened 2010) there were no windows to open – and so air conditioning had to run for 7-8 hours a day in 30+ classrooms, plus offices, even if it was comparatively cool outside. In my Bruneian school, air flow plus fans (generally) meant classrooms weren't too bad. And you get used to it!

The only Gothic style synagogue in the United States.
After hearing and hearing about how the ice cream at Leopold's is ranked #3 in the country, we finally had some. Meh. I guess my ice cream palate is not that sophisticated. It didn't stand out as anything special, to me. That said, the atmosphere inside is outstanding. It was like being taken directly into the 50's.

I keep thinking about how it was "back in the day". When I was the ages of my kids, we lived in Germany. Those were the days you had to drop off your film and wait about a week to get it back. That process was also expensive. Then, if you wanted to share the pictures with the grandparents, you had to mail them. Time delay. I like this option much better. :-)
Here you go, Gram. What you should know is Ryan got me a real camera and I have no idea how to use it. I also don't know anything about photography. I'll learn?

What were those Chrysler execs thinking? To anyone else, basing a Jeep on a front-wheel drive chassis is just plain absurd. But in 2007 it became a heinous and wimpy reality when the Compass was launched.
It was a bad idea on paper (why couldn't the production version look more like the concept?) and so it proved in the flesh; the compact crossover was ill-proportioned, the sheet metal was unintentionally comical and it looked cheap. What was the designer's remit? "Make it worse than the Aztec" perhaps? Who knows, but the salesmen and women must have had their work cut out trying to offload these: "Take it for a test drive... and never come back," might have been the patter. The fake rivets on fake aluminium trim told you all you needed to know about the interior. And, on the move, it suffered from incessant tyre roar and a bouncy suspension. Jeep sure hadn't traded off-road expertise for refinement. The 2.4-litre four-cylinder "world engine" mated to a CVT made 172bhp. It wasn't the worst thing about the Compass and made just about enough poke to get you going, but coming to a stop was another matter altogether. The brakes felt vague to say the least.
Ah, but it'd be an off-road warrior right? After all, the brand is famed for that 'Go Anywhere' capability. Erm, not the base FWD model -- a first for any Jeep. A bit of mud and some rocks weren't a problem. But 'real' off-roading? Forget about it.
In 2011, it got a revised suspension and interior and most importantly it was designed to resemble the Grand Cherokee which went some way in papering over the cracks.

To say Guillermo del Toro is an interesting fellow would be putting it lightly. From Pan's Labyrinth to The Devil's Backbone and Hellboy, the director has made some of the creepiest, horror and science fiction movies of the last two decades. Now thanks to the AGO and del Toro himself, we are able to catch of glimpse inside his world and see where he gets his inspiration from.
In Los Angeles del Toro owns a house he calls Bleak House, and inside he stores his own personal collection of art, artefacts, books and props, many of which are surrounding the horror genre. Thanks to his generosity, del Toro has allowed some of these items to come to the AGO, in an ambitious recreation of his home. In a press release del Toro said "To find beauty in the profane. To elevate the banal. To be moved by genre. These things are vital for my storytelling. This exhibition presents a small fraction of the things that have moved me, inspired me, and consoled me as I transit through life."
The exhibition displays hundreds of items from del Toro's collection, including props from several of his movies and artwork he's collected over the years. As you walk among it you can't help but feel a sense of awe at all the stuff he's gathered, and yet the hairs on the back of your neck never seem to go down either. In the background music plays that adds to the overall ambiance as well. While a lot of the items are actually from del Toro's home, there are some that he selected from the AGO's collection to help with the feel of things. The exhibitions is organized by themes, from childhood and innocence, to death and the afterlife, movies, comic books and popular culture, and a whole lot more.
If you are a fan of del Toro's work, and even if you are not, At Home With Monsters is a fantastic exploration of a visionary director's mind, and one you won't forget any time soon. You can catch it at the AGO until January 2018.

Grizzled Nvidia hand Fiona Faulkner has left to "try out something new", much to the surprise of industry folk that had her down as almost one of the fixtures and fittings.
Faulkner rocked up at the graphics card player in 2002 as UK sales director but made it to European sales honcho before heading toward the exit.
"After a stellar 12 year career, Fiona has decided to leave Nvidia to try something new," said a spokeswoman for the biz.
There was no hint of which company or industry she'll land in or when, neither did the PR person say who Nvidia had lined up, if anyone, to replace Faulkner.
The mouthpiece then trotted out the usual thanks for the memories type commentary, about helping it build a market-leading position for the GeForce in EMEA and India.
Industry sources said the perception in the market was that Faulkner, an Nvidia veteran, liked the company, the market and in turn was well-liked by her bosses. "It is a surprise," said one.
According to Faulkner's LinkedIn account she previously spent six years at US Robotics as sales and marketing director from '92 to '98, but doesn't state what she did in the four years before Nvidia.
Nvidia's sales numbers for fiscal Q3 ended 27 October grew nearly eight per cent on the previous quarter to $1.05bn but fell year-on-year 12.5 per cent.
Operating expenses bounced 15.3 per cent year-on-year to $443.4m due to employee compensation, benefits and infrastructure costs. This helped to dent profits which crashed more than 43 per cent to $118.7m.
El Chan contacted Faulkner but she was unavailable to respond. ®

This web page is designed to test your network's ability to resolve domain names that have been signed with "large" DNSSEC keys. See the explanations below for additional information.
Test ID at
The size of the root zone Zone Signing Key (ZSK) was increased on October 1, 2016. Prior to that date, this page included tests for zones signed with 1024-bit ZSKs. Now that the ZSK length change is complete, those tests have been removed.
ICANN is progressing with plans to toll the root zone Key Signing Key (KSK) in 2017. Tests 1–4 above simulate a KSK rollover. In particular, they simulate the period during which the outgoing KSK would be published with its revoke bit set, alongside the new KSK.
If you see failures for these tests, your DNS name server may not be able to receive large response messages. The organization or persons responsible for the operation of your name server should check its configuration and/or error logs. In order to receive large DNS responses, the name server may need to receive UDP fragments and/or DNS messages over TCP.
You may also find it helpful to load this page after entering your browser's developer mode and selecting the Network tab.
The signed DNSKEY response sizes shown in the table above are larger than those for the root zone because the test zone names are longer than the root zone name.

If the surrogate mother miscarries, does she still get paid?
Surrogacy agreements usually have several different payment structures from which to choose: a monthly payment throughout the pregnancy, a larger payment every trimester or a lump sum at the end of the pregnancy.
But what if something bad happens? When something goes wrong, the pregnant surrogate is most often not at fault, and you are obligated to satisfy your contractual agreement. If the surrogate mother miscarries, she's entitled to compensation up to the point when she loses the child. This includes prorating the fee during the month of the miscarriage. If the pregnancy comes to a devastating end and the child is stillborn or dies shortly after birth, the surrogate is still entitled to full compensation.
