And just for the record, I was not involved in the giggling. Captain Ninja Alex does NOT giggle!
Those cute girls must be very proud of their father!
...but I bet the captain can chuckle!
What adorable little girls!! I am so getting this book for my daughter. My second graders will love it as well!
That is the sweetest review ever!
I'm giggling just reading the post and looking at the pic. Please don't tell anyone.
Gail, the captain chuckles, but no giggles!
Stephen, I think you just did!
aww! That book sounds awesome! I love books that have earth friendly morals. Throw me in for the drawing!
My girls are all grown up and read much different things these days. I used to look for stuff like this all the time when they were little.
Come now Captain Alex, I'm sure if we asked your wife, she would tell us true, that you have indeed giggled, at least once.
What a great book. I'm in. Monster Baby would love it.

And the movie I couldn't find yesterday was The Incredibles. Don't know why it wasn't around unless they had it on sale.
Looks like a good book for girls...I have a six year old who might enjoy it.
Looks like a gorgeous book!
Heh, that sounds great. I think my two girls might enjoy this one!
Fabulous post, Alex. I love the look and message of this book. Makes me wish I had grandkids or even a niece.
From what I hear, breaking into Kids Lit is no easy task, so kudos to Mr. Wilson!
I bet you're tickly though!!
reposted at scifi media. This looks great.
Love this post Alex. I certainly intend to buy books from the Little Pickle Press. Just not sure when I can.
Anne, my wife pleads the Fifth! And that's odd you couldn't find The Incredibles, unless it's too old.
Kitty, only my wife knows the tickle spots.
Thanks, Budd - that's great!
Agreed, that is the cutest review I have ever read!! Sounds like an adorable book!
This book sounds like something my goddaughter would love. Thanks Alex.
Matthew, it's a PB for ages 4-8. Although I know a few 80-year-olds who should take the message to heart! ;) Tomorrow I'll have a wrap-up post at the Little Pickle press blog about how a series of interviews the author did with astronauts led to the writing of this book. It's the big story behind the little book, and anyone interested in science fiction will be able to relate to what those real guys saw from the moon.
This book sounds adorable. I'll keep it in mind as a gift for my friends' kids.
Not only a parent, but a First Grade teacher. Looks really good. I'll for sure be checking it out.
Cheeseboy, it's right up your alley!
Ninja Alex may not be giggling, but I am! Love the post and those little girls are adorable. The book sounds like a wonderful Christmas idea – thanks.
I need to giggle more!
Fantástica idea, el cuidado del planeta pronto dependerá de las nuevas generaciones.
Fantastic idea, care of the planet will soon depend on the new generations.
PD. If there is plastic.
This was so cute. Tugging on the heart strings here. My kids would probably really enjoy this story, especially my son who thinks is from somewhere other than Earth.
Well that's just too darned cute. I'm going to have to get this for my neice, she loves those kind of books.
The picture of the girls makes me smile. I'll have to look this one up for a special little girl I know.
What a lovely looking book. OK - you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
It sounds a lovely book - so that's OK!
Who doesn't love giggling? That sounds like a really cute book though, and they're right. Why does Scifi have to be about a destroyed planet? we need more happiness (and more giggles) in our scifi!
Jamie I dare you to post a video of you giggling!!!
What an AWESOME post, Alex! You're the best! Thank you!
What a great opportunity! I'm a parent to furbabies, but I have 12 part time children, Monday through Friday who would love this book!
That was such a great post, Alex. I want that book and I'm not even a parent!
For the record, Ninjas do giggle. What kind of Ninja captain are you if you don't giggle?
And that does sound like an awesome book. And great idea getting the kids to do the review.
Nice, Alex! I love children's books, and this is a wonderful subject for them!
Hey, his daughters know best. Sounds like a cool read.
I loved the giggling! That alone makes me totally want this book!
What a precious post, Alex!
I'm not a parent but I love the concept of the book and the art looks gorgeous.
Rayna, I'm the really serious type of Ninja!
How cute. Are you SURE you didn't giggle...just a little?
Alex, what a fantastic blog book tour host your are - thank you!
Thank you for hosting this post. You have a fantastic site and it means so much to me that you've helped out with the introduction of "Sofia" to the world.
Dani and Land, you are welcome!
Vicki and Dempsey - no giggling!! Really!
This post is adorable, Alex!


These photos were taken out at my mum's last week. My childhood home. I don't spend a lot of time out there, mostly it's not a conscious choice, but I think deep down I just have too many painful memories of being young. I spent some time walking through the village and seeing how it had changed a little over the years, but mostly stayed exactly the same. The same shops and local businesses were still set up, even the ones that closed down long ago still had their painted signs fading above the rusting doors. It feels like another lifetime ago, like I'm not even that person anymore.
A lot is changing around me in these recent months and I just feel like I'm stuck in the mud. Being 26 is a strange period in your life; Friends are getting married and making babies and that's not something that is even on my horizon, but I still feel a little left behind. I've lived in the same city my whole life and I desperately want to take off and see the world, before I get really stuck here for good.
This beautiful wire wrapped ring is handmade by my favourite jewellery artist and a dear friend, Kica Bijoux. Her work is simply breathtaking and browsing through her shop on Etsy is like walking through a wood out in the countryside, watching the birds and feeling the nature all around you. I am in awe at how she creates such a lovely atmosphere.
Today I'm sharing Boyfriend's amazing grilled cheese recipe!!
Here in the UK we don't really have grilled cheese. I guess cheese on toast or a cheese toastie would be our closest alternative, but trust me, they are no where near in the same league! We had grilled cheese sandwiches when we visited New York a few years ago and they are one of the only things we loved that we've managed to recreate at home!
– Cook your bacon. You can either grill it or cook it in the griddle pan. We like ours crispy for this recipe.
– Grate your cheese. You can slice it instead, but grated cheese melts quicker.
– Butter the outside of your bread.
– Pile your ingredients onto one piece of bread; bacon, cheese and then avocado.
– Place into the griddle pan on a medium heat and top with another slice of bread.
– After a few minutes, being sure not to burn the bread, carefully flip over your sandwich.
– When both sides are grilled to your taste and the cheese is melted, serve immediately with a nice mug of Yorkshire Tea.
A perfect, easy yet impressive looking snack to cook when entertaining a group of people for breakfast or lunch!

CrashPlan app users are sometimes confused by the fact that the backup rate they see from the CrashPlan app is significantly different from the bandwidth they receive from their Internet Service Provider (ISP). The purpose of this article is to explain how the CrashPlan app's effective transfer rate differs from the bandwidth provided by your ISP, as well as some of the factors outside of Code42's control that can affect backup rates.
You may be able to make some adjustments to the CrashPlan app to speed up your backup.
CrashPlan subscribers share bandwidth when backing up to the cloud. As a result, upload speeds may not match maximum speeds of an individual's Internet provider.
Another factor that causes the backup speed to differ from the network bandwidth and throughput is the fact that the CrashPlan app compresses the data before sending it (unless this default settings is changed). This usually results in the effective transfer rate being higher than the actual transfer rate. An example will help to make this clear: CrashPlan app user Susan has 10 GB of data on her system to be backed up. After the CrashPlan app compresses and encrypts the data, it now takes up only 8 GB of space. Her CrashPlan app transfers that 8 GB of data at an actual transfer rate of 1 Mbps. However, the effective transfer rate is actually 1.25 Mbps, or 25 percent higher, due to the data compression.
CrashPlan app users can expect to back up about 10 GB of information to the Code42 cloud per day on average if the user's computer is powered on and not in standby mode. Code42 is a shared service, which means that upload and download speeds depend on the number of users connected at any given point. The CrashPlan app estimates the total time it will take to upload your data based on your current network speeds. The time remaining appears on the Backup tab. This estimation will vary over the duration of your first backup.
If you are consistently reaching speeds of 1 Mbps or higher but you have a large backup selection, configure the CrashPlan app further to optimize your backup.
Our goal for Code42 is to provide secure, reliable, and unlimited backup. We work like other services that share resources with a pool of users, individual speeds vary depending on the number of simultaneous users and how much they are uploading at one time. We do not apply throttling based on the size of your backup. We also do not limit file sizes or types.
Various factors outside of Code42's control affect your backup speed. The effective transfer rate between your device and our data centers depends on the bandwidth provided by your ISP, as well as network speeds on nodes between your ISP and our data centers. Even if a speed test of your ISP shows that your currently available bandwidth is high, network congestion elsewhere can cause backup speeds to slow down. The effective network speed between the CrashPlan app and Code42's servers affect the backup speed.
Make sure that you haven't used the network throttling feature to limit the transfer rate of the CrashPlan app.

Deus Ex: The Fall Is Out. Is It Any Good?
Matthew Hughes March 25, 2014 25-03-2014 7 minutes
There are two groups of people who will play Deus Ex: The Fall.
The first is a casual mobile gamer, looking to play a big-budget shooter on-the-go. Those who would simply wish to kill some time on their commutes to work, and feel no affinity to Ion Storm's seminal franchise.
The second is a someone who played the original Deus Ex in 2000, and for whom the franchise still holds a place in their heart. Those who still suffer from pangs of pain when they remember the lame-duck Deus Ex: 2 and find themselves humming the melody to the iconic theme-song Best of OCRemix: Chill Out to These 5 Deus Ex Tracks Best of OCRemix: Chill Out to These 5 Deus Ex Tracks They've taken the original tracks, which were all right in my opinion, and transformed them into music that could rival the best electronic artists of today. Read More whilst waiting for an elevator, or taking a shower.
I'm firmly in the latter group. I've probably played the original Deus Ex about 15 times, and consider myself to be a Deus-Ex super-fan. Deus Ex: The Fall is not for me.
Released in 2014 and launched on Android and iOS, it aims to bring the Deus Ex franchise to mobile. And it falls short of the original iconic game. Way, way short. Despite that, it remains a relatively competent First Person RPG.
I grabbed a copy from the Google Play store, and played it through. Here's my thoughts.
The Deus Ex games were celebrated for its narrative, 3 First-Person Shooters That Actually Have Great Stories [MUO Gaming] 3 First-Person Shooters That Actually Have Great Stories [MUO Gaming] First-person shooters (or FPS) have long been a genre that is based around competition. Ever since the invention of multiplayer gaming, it only made sense to have shooters as a key genre. I once wrote... Read More and being set in a seedy world of deception, violence and intrigue. The first game brought the player into the midst of a futuristic power-battle involving the Illuminati, the UN and terrorists. This theme of subterfuge and conspiracy was continued into the other games in the series, including Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which this game follows.
You are placed in the shoes of Ben Saxon; an augmented former British SAS soldier who strongly resembles the product of an unfortunate teleporter accident involving Jason Statham and a Ford Fiesta. Saxon's past is murky, with previous ties to a shadowy band of paramilitaries called The Tyrants, whom he is trying to bring down with the assistance of Anna Kelso, a fugitive federal agent.
The core of the game brings you to the sweltering slums of Panama City, where you are tasked with investigating a shortage of a drug required for the survival of biomechanically augmented humans. Meanwhile, you are pursued by shadowy PMC company Belltower and vicious Panamanian street gangs, all of whom have a propensity for violence in the extreme.
Controls for the most part are pretty decent. A small area on the left hand side is reserved for moving the character, whilst the right hand side is reserved for moving the camera. There are also dedicated buttons for shooting, reloading and throwing grenades.
Irritatingly, you can also move to a place in the map by touching it. This sounds great at first, until you consider that an accidental brush of the screen can result in abandoning safe cover and receiving 30 shotgun rounds to the face. And this happens. A lot.
At the start of the game, you are provided with either a pistol or a non-lethal stun gun. Your repertoire of firearms is increased by picking up the proceeds of felled adversaries, although this is pretty much limited to handguns, shotguns and assault rifles. Should you want to get your hands on some of the sexier weapons, you're going to have to fork out for it with credits.
These are acquired by killing adversaries, completing quests and looting buildings. And to the credit of Square Enix, you can get your hands on a pretty incredible wealth of weapons without resorting to in-game purchases. Dungeon Keeper, this is not.
Another facet of character development is augmentation. Whilst hot on the tails of BellTower, you complete side-tasks and mini-games and gathering experience which can be spent on special powers, which make completing certain tasks that bit easier.
Every facet of the Deus Ex: The Fall aesthetic seems to be derived from Human Revolution. Surprisingly, this translates quite well to touch screens without looking off. Although, inventory management is one aspect of gameplay which is infuriatingly bad.
Where It Goes Wrong
What made the original Deus Ex game legendary was its watertight storyline. Seriously. If Deus Ex was a film, it would be pulling in more Oscars than a James Cameron flick. Deus Ex: The Fall lacks this polish. Indeed, the storywriting and dialogue A Day in the Life of a Videogame Scriptwriter [Feature] A Day in the Life of a Videogame Scriptwriter [Feature] If you've ever played a videogame that you really enjoyed, chances are you haven't noticed the characters or any speech in the game – or if you have, you probably won't have considered that they've... Read More that made the original Deus Ex such an incredible game feels very much like an afterthought here.
Characters are introduced, but not explained. At the start, you are paired up with Anna Kelso; a fugitive federal agent who is hiding from the law in a Costa Rican tourist resort. And yet, the relationship between Saxon and Kelso isn't explained. Nor is the reason behind Kelso's fugitive status. This inconsistency is repeated throughout the game, and makes for a confusing story.
The plot disappoints, and feels like a series of loosely related events. The prologue mission brings us to a plush Muscovite apartment block, where we are tasked with assassinating a man we are told is responsible for the death of Ben Saxon's former military squadmates. We later learn that this man is innocent, but isn't fully explained why. Also unexplained is why this relates to the core gameplay, which is set in Panama.
Likewise, we are later tasked with infiltrating the base of a local gang. After shooting your way in – killing countless gang members in the process – you then come face-to-face with the gang leader, whom you have to interrogate. After flattering him for a bit, he totally forgets the fact that you killed his friends, and lets you out of the base without any trouble. Surreal.
Performance on a 2012 Nexus 7 is playable, even in high-intensify firefights. However, sound is consistently unlistenable, and full of more glitches and breaks than a chiptune album. After a while, I turned off the audio and started listening to NPR on my laptop.
Gameplay is full of embarrassing bugs which detract from the visceral realism of the Deus Ex games. There's pretty much no consequences to anything you do, and the behavior of NPCs is utterly erratic.
An example of this would be in the Hotel Etana, where you have to check up on the well-being of a World Health Organization inspector. Upon entering, a security guard inexplicably started opening fire upon my character. After shooting him in the head in full-view of everyone in the room, I then proceeded to walk up to the hotel receptionist who politely told me that the hotel had no vacancies, as if nothing had ever happened.
Likewise, you can run amok opening doors with shotgun blasts, and nobody will bat an eye. Yet if you try to hack a computer in full view of an armed NPC, you can be sure of trouble.
Those expecting the long gameplay of the original Deus Ex will be disappointed. The Fall can be finished in a couple of hours. When I say 'finished', I don't mean 'speed run', but rather completing every quest. Exploring every area. Everything.
What it does right
It's not all bad news.
Fundamentally, Deus Ex: The Fall is a big-budget console game in your pocket. The fact that the visual experience isn't too detached from the console and PC versions of Human Revolution is a testament to that. Graphics aren't pixelated and blocky, and whilst some characters look as if they are suffering from an extremely debilitating dermatological condition, the quality of NPC design is exemplary.
Despite the brevity of the game, it remains a pretty entertaining shooter. Whilst some aspects of the game's plotline had me cringing at times, I still found it to be a reasonably fun romp through a futuristic dystopia.
As previously mentioned, level of difficulty isn't so hard, that you're forced to buy in-game purchases. This is a big thing for me, as it's suddenly became a thing for games from my childhood to be re-released as cynical, avaricious grabs for cash at the detriment of gameplay. Yes, I'm looking at you, EA.
Furthermore, the open-ended nature of the original Deus Ex games is retained. Challenges can be solved with stealth, brute force or diplomacy, or a combination of all three. However, this doesn't apply to the storyline, which appears to have only one conclusion.
Deus Ex: The Fall ends with 'To Be Continued'.
I'm not sure if I want to see what happens next. I don't think it's for me. As someone who grew up playing the original, lauded game and who really gets a kick from a killer narrative and phenomenal storytelling, Deus Ex: The Fall left a sour taste in my mouth.
With that said, those looking to while away a commute with a first person shooter won't be disappointed with The Fall. For all of its flaws, it's still a pretty fun game.

I wasted money on this crap. The game is terrible compared to the previous part.

Me too man. If it makes you feel any better, I bought it for £5 before it went on sale for £1. *sob*
RBTechnut
The IOS Version had the same issues. Nothing like ducking cover in a gunfight and then while trying to reload you moved yourself on the map... Got killed a couple of times but finished the game to its "conclusion"... Now since it is coming to Steam, will it be the game be the same, or will it be concluded later?
If they release it on Steam, I certainly hope they get some better voice actors in!

Deus Ex: The Fall was first released in 2013 for iOS and in 2014 for the Android port.

Racism vs. the Race Card
Debate: James Baldwin vs. William Buckley Jr. from Monty on Vimeo.
From comments:
We conservatives will have a purge of the folks you liberals especially hate if you liberals have a purge of the folks we especially hate.
I think this sort of thinking is endemic to how the conservative movement thinks about racism. For them it isn't an actual force, but a rhetorical device for disarming your opponents. So one does not call Robert Weissberg racist and question his ties to National Review because one seeks to stamp out racism, but because one hopes to secure the White House for Democrats. Or some such. Even if you have a record of calling out bigotry voiced by people deemed to be "on your team," it doesn't much matter because there's no real belief in it existing to begin with.
The conservative movement doesn't understand anti-racism as a value, only as a rhetorical pose. This is how you end up tarring the oldest integrationist group in the country (the NAACP) as racist. The slur has no real moral content to them. It's all a game of who can embarrass who. If you don't think racism is an actual force in the country, then you can only understand it's invocation as a tactic.
This is a very old way of you thinking. It's what you get out of watching Buckley's bumbling response to Baldwin--he neither regards Baldwin with any seriousness, nor the issue with any real concern. It's a game to him. He is effectively a homer for team red. Nothing else matters.
That tradition of viewing racism, not as an actual thing of import, but merely as rhetoric continues today. To abandon that tradition, I suspect, would be cause for an existential crisis.
EDIT: A bit more:
so, in your view, this justifies black panthers' death threats or the racism of al sharpton and the likes (White folks was [sic] in caves while we was building empires), or the racist attack mobs of black youths against white people, the fact george zimmerman is hispanic but the "post-racial" leftwing media shoved down everyone's throat that he in fact is a "white hispanic" ensuing a nationwide anti-white wave amongst black thugs, black teenagers murdering 90 year old white women, etc, etc.
Notice the same formula. The argument isn't really important. What's been written in this space isn't really important. It's a game.

This article presents four analyses of an interaction between the middle-Bronze Age Pharaoh Nibmuarea and the Babylonian king Kadashman-Enlil as described in the Amarna letters (Moran  The Amarna Letters, The Johns Hopkins Universiy Press, Baltimore, Maryland). Intent on denying the Pharaoh his daughter in marriage, the Babylonian king was faced with the choice of sending messengers who could (''dignitaries'') or could not identify (''non-dignitaries'') his missing sister in the Pharaoh's court. Intent on marrying the king's daughter, the Pharaoh was faced with the choice of showing the sister or showing someone else. Based on the assumption of complete information (game 1), the analysis revealed a dominant-strategy equilibrium: Nibmuarea shows the sister and Kadashman-Enlil sends non-dignitaries. Based on the assumption of one-sided incomplete information (Pharaoh's misperception; game 2), the analysis revealed that the Pharaoh had a dominant strategy of showing the sister irrespective of whether the king is keen or reluctant to learn about his sister's fate. Based on the assumption of one-sided incomplete information (Kadashman-Enlil's misperception; game 3), the analysis revealed that if non-dignitaries are sent, the Pharaoh prefers showing someone other than his sister. Based on the assumption of two-sided incomplete information (game 4), the Pharaoh finds it more beneficial to present the sister irrespective of whether his intentions are genuine or feigned. With incomplete information, it is difficult to judge the other's intentions; the cost of being caught cheating by not showing the sister to knowledgeable messengers was quite high. These analyses highlight the strategic uncertainty that characterized this Bronze-Age interaction.

I love reading skyscrapers. By that I mean, looking at them and and guessing their date of construction by their shape and design. It's not a perfect science, but it works pretty well no matter what big city you're in. This is what we do on my favorite tour - the LA SKYSCRAPER TOUR BY TRAIN.
Skyscrapers are our country's most visible, iconic buildings, and LA has some beauties designed between 1899 and the present day. The first skyscraper was actually built in Chicago in 1885. Since then, they have grown taller and more dramatic, progressing through visible design changes depending on the decade. Learning to spot these design eras was the goal of my recent LA Skyscraper Train Tour (in addition to just plain having fun!).
My wonderful tour group admiring skyscrapers on Bunker Hill.
Los Angeles has an increasingly impressive skyline with wonderful examples of every stage of skyscraper design. My intrepid group of 25 Hoffy Tour enthusiasts craned their necks to study and marvel at LA's diverse skyscrapers. The tour included round trip on Amtrak's business class (wine, snacks, coffee and our own car!), a quick subway ride on the Red Line to Pershing Square, and a ride to the top of Bunker Hill on the charming Angel's Flight funicular.
So let's cut to the chase. So here are the major design eras of LA's and the nation's "'scrapers"!
1) First Stage - Beaux Art: Building as Column: A Three-Part Classical Design - Early American skyscraper designers were often trained at the Paris School of Fine Arts ("Beaux Art") where they were encouraged to articulate their buildings with classical features. In many cases, the building's composition was that of a classical column with its three-part design: base (often embellished with enhanced entry, larger windows and surface decoration); shaft (a fairly plain, elongated middle of the building); and capital (a richly detailed "crown" with a cornice and window pediments).

Beaux Art style - A slightly more recent example of the three-part classical design of base, shaft and capital.
2. Stage Two: Skyscraper as Cathedrals of Commerce/Palaces (1910-1925) - In many cases, early skyscrapers were designed to advertise the business they represented. These "cathedrals of commerce" could pose as Italian palaces or Gothic Revival Churches as the Woolworth Building in Uptown, New York City. Los Angeles' best example is the United Artists Theatre Building whose Gothic Revival tower could be seen for miles on Broadway. It looks like a giant cathedral.

looks like a gothic cathedral.
The Oviatt Building looks like an Italian palace.
3. Stage 3: Skyscrapers as Wedding Cakes - New York's "set-back" style: During the 1920s and 30s, skyscrapers changed shape and added decoration. As they reached for the sky, skyscrapers became narrower and narrower - like ancient Sumerian ziggurats - allowing more light to the street and allowing architects some design flair. This tapered look originated from New York City's 1916 zoning code which reacted against skyscrapers went straight up from the sidewalk, robbing the street of light.
narrower as it reaches for the sky.
4. Stage 4: Early Modernism/International Style - Skyscrapers as vertical, flat-topped rectangles: 1950s-1970. With improvements in technology, demand for more office space and tastes favoring little to no ornamentation, skyscrapers became large, abstract volumes. The term "International Style" was coined because skyscrapers of the 50s and 60s looked basically the same all over the world. Some "scrapers" were sheathed in glass from bottom to top, giving rise to the term "glass curtain wall".

International Style skyscrapers from 1972.
5. Stage 5: Later Modernism: Breaking up the Box & Reflective Glass 1970s -early 1980s - Some time around 1970, architects began to break up the boring geometry of the rectangular skyscraper. They experimented with more interesting shapes, tops and surfaces. Skyscrapers became pointy, trapezoidal, angular, even curvy. Reflective glass became popular, most famously with the hotel designs by John Portman. These shiny "'scrapers" reflected the clouds, sun and other buildings, and were built all over the world.

LA's Bunker Hills shows gorgeous late modern skyscrapers from the 1980s and 90s.
7. Stage 6: Post-Modernism - 1980s The period of architecture called "post modern" also influenced skyscrapers. This period featured playful cultural, historical and contextual references in buildings and clearly moved away from the austere glass curtain wall of the 50s and 60s. One of the best examples is Phillip Johnson's ATT Building in NYC which featured a chippendale top or cornice. It's hard to design subtle cultural references 800 feet in the air though, so post-modern skyscrapers were few and far between.
Chippendale top, is the classic example of skyscraper postmodernism.
One PPG Place, built in 1981, is a good example of post modernism.
and accordion-style top evokes Art Deco designs.
8. Stage 7: Contemporary Shapes: Skyscrapers are fun again! Skyscrapers of the 21st century are reaching for the sky. Taller than ever, they seem to have more interesting surfaces, shapes, and tops than ever before. Of course, they are also harder to classify. Whether they are "High Tech", "Deconstructivist", Green buildings or ultra-modern, I've noticed that many new 'scrapers have more interesting and articulated surfaces rather than plain glass curtain walls. Some skyscrapers are using a more translucent, insulated ceramic glass which gives the structures a more delicate look than the reflective glass of the 70s. All these change are for the good. It's clear to me that we love skyscrapers more than ever!

Many modern residential skyscrapers have interesting surface articulation with balconies, vertical piers and varying colors.
Stage 7 - Skyscrapers as high tech, complex articulated beauties - 1990 to present.
Look up, my friends, for now you can read the skyline! See you on the next tour!

You'll find solid Double Plus (A++) sound on both sides of this vintage Warner Brothers pressing
This stereo pressing is Tubey Magical and full-bodied, not to mention uncannily present - an outstanding pressing of a superb recording
4 1/2 stars: "Garcia is nothing short of a full-bodied artistic expression from one of rock & roll's most multi-faceted musicians. Both initiated Deadheads as well as enthusiasts of the burgeoning early-'70s singer/songwriter movement will find much to cherish on this recording as Garcia redefines his immense talents and seemingly undiluted musical potential."

100% Money Back Guarantee on all Hot Stampers
FREE Domestic Shipping on all LP orders over $75
This vintage Warner Brothers pressing has the kind of Tubey Magical Midrange that modern records can barely BEGIN to reproduce. Folks, that sound is gone and it sure isn't showing signs of coming back. If you love hearing INTO a recording, actually being able to "see" the performers, and feeling as if you are sitting in the studio with the band, this is the record for you. It's what vintage all analog recordings are known for -- this sound.
If you exclusively play modern repressings of vintage recordings, I can say without fear of contradiction that you have never heard this kind of sound on vinyl. Old records have it -- not often, and certainly not always -- but maybe one out of a hundred new records do, and those are some pretty long odds.
What the best sides of Garcia have to offer is not hard to hear:
The biggest, most immediate staging in the largest acoustic space
The most Tubey Magic, without which you have almost nothing. CDs give you clean and clear. Only the best vintage vinyl pressings offer the kind of Tubey Magic that was on the tapes in 1972
Tight, note-like, rich, full-bodied bass, with the correct amount of weight down low
Natural tonality in the midrange -- with all the instruments having the correct timbre
Transparency and resolution, critical to hearing into the three-dimensional studio space
No doubt there's more but we hope that should do for now. Playing the record is the only way to hear all of the qualities we discuss above, and playing the best pressings against a pile of other copies under rigorously controlled conditions is the only way to find a pressing that sounds as good as this one does.
What We Listen For on Garcia
Energy for starters. What could be more important than the life of the music?
Then: presence and immediacy. The vocals aren't "back there" somewhere, lost in the mix. They're front and center where any recording engineer worth his salt would put them.
The Big Sound comes next -- wall to wall, lots of depth, huge space, three-dimensionality, all that sort of thing.
Then transient information -- fast, clear, sharp attacks, not the smear and thickness so common to these LPs.
Tight punchy bass -- which ties in with good transient information, also the issue of frequency extension further down.
Next: transparency -- the quality that allows you to hear deep into the soundfield, showing you the space and air around all the instruments.
Extend the top and bottom and voila, you have The Real Thing -- an honest to goodness Hot Stamper.
Vinyl Condition
Mint Minus Minus is about as quiet as any vintage pressing will play, and since only the right vintage pressings have any hope of sounding good on this album, that will most often be the playing condition of the copies we sell. (The copies that are even a bit noisier get listed on the site are seriously reduced prices or traded back in to the local record stores we shop at.)
Those of you looking for quiet vinyl will have to settle for the sound of other pressings and Heavy Vinyl reissues, purchased elsewhere of course as we have no interest in selling records that don't have the vintage analog magic of these wonderful recordings.
If you want to make the trade-off between bad sound and quiet surfaces with whatever Heavy Vinyl pressing might be available, well, that's certainly your prerogative, but we can't imagine losing what's good about this music -- the size, the energy, the presence, the clarity, the weight -- just to hear it with less background noise.
Sugaree
Late For Supper
Spidergawd
Eep Hour
To Lay Me Down
An Odd Little Place
AMG 4 1/2 Star Review
This disc was a happy byproduct of the Grateful Dead re-signing with Warner Bros. It was mutually beneficial for Bob Weir (guitar/vocals) as well as Mickey Hart (percussion) and his criminally overlooked debut long-player, Rolling Thunder (1972). Jerry Garcia's (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, pedal steel guitar, bass, piano, organ, samples, vocals) simply titled Garcia (1972) is arguably the most solo of all these projects, as only he and the Grateful Dead's Billy Kreutzmann (percussion) contribute instrumentally. That said, Robert Hunter's lyrics should not be underestimated as all six of his co-compositions became staples in the Dead's live songbook for the remainder of their concert career.
The infusion of new material can be attributed to the lack of any Dead-related releases since Workingman's Dead (1970) over 14 months earlier. Although Garcia is the primary musician on the ten tracks, he has given each arrangement a wholly unique persona. These range from straight-ahead blues-based rock & roll ("Sugaree") to the avant-garde ("Late for Supper"). Within those extremes are discerning renditions and solid performances of stone gems such as the noir folkie "Loser" as well as the lilting balladry of "Bird Song" and the cyclical psychedelia of "The Wheel," the latter of which features some of the finest pedal steel guitar work to have come from Garcia's brief infatuation with the twangy instrument. He brings an intimacy to the affective love song "To Lay Me Down" that was rarely equalled by the Grateful Dead. His prowess as an emotive pianist can be heard throughout not only that cut, but also on the trippy medley consisting of the previously mentioned "Late for Supper," "Spidergawd," and "Eep Hour."
Ever the self-effacing artist, at the time of release the guitarist overtly downplayed the album as "overindulgent." Time has rendered that assessment utterly false, as Garcia is nothing short of a full-bodied artistic expression from one of rock & roll's most multi-faceted musicians. Both initiated Deadheads as well as enthusiasts of the burgeoning early-'70s singer/songwriter movement will find much to cherish on this recording as Garcia redefines his immense talents and seemingly undiluted musical potential.

White Working Class Have Been Neglected By Gov't, Admits Minister
White working class have been neglected by government, admits minister
New focus: Communities Secretary John Denham says Government bodies and councils have been 'blind' to the needs of the white working class
Daily Mail.co.uk
Labour has let down white working-class people who have suffered from the impact of largescale immigration, a Cabinet minister admitted yesterday.
Communities Secretary John Denham said councils and government bodies had been 'blind' to the needs of this section of society.
The backtracking came in the face of the growing threat to Labour's core vote from the far-right British National Party.
Yesterday Mr Denham said in a speech to union members at the TUC that efforts to tackle inequality 'must include poorer white working- class communities, as well as disadvantaged minority ethnic communities.
Mr Denham said areas with high immigration levels felt a sense of 'insecurity and unfairness' because of the impact of new arrivals on jobs and public services.
Unless councils act, these could lead to tensions and resentment, he said.
He said: 'Many local agencies have a clear and good commitment to tackling racism and race inequality and are right to do so. But on its own this is not enough.
'We can only challenge racism and race inequality effectively as part of a strategy that tackles all forms of inequality and disadvantage.
'This must include poorer white working class communities, as well as disadvantaged minority ethnic communities.
'Agencies which have been blind to these issues, or thought their only remit was to address minority issues, must re-assess the way they work.'
His comments are the latest attempt by ministers to address fears over immigration in Labour heartlands, and confront the threat from the British National Party.
They follow a speech by Prime Minister Gordon Brown earlier this month in which he said it was 'not racist' to talk about immigration.
Addressing the Trades Union Congress today, Mr Denham pointed to similarities between black and white working class groups.
Poor white boys had more in common with their poor black classmates than with middle class whites, he said.
The inequality agenda should focus on 'need' and not 'outdated ideology or assumptions which may no longer be true', he said. These could lead to white working class boys being 'overlooked'.
If Government policies are seen to be unfair, he said, they could be exploited by groups seeking to 'drive people apart'.
'We have to avoid the perception that some groups are singled out for special treatment,' he said.
'When we target help at one group, we cannot allow others to be left behind, or to feel disconnected.'
'By ensuring that our policies are both fair, and seen to be fair, we reduce the risk that they can be exploited by others who would distort them to drive people apart.
'And we properly address the complexities of the problem: ensuring that the white working class boy struggling in class gets the support that he needs, just as his black and Asian classmates do.'

For some of the most common questions regarding grants, please see our answers below. If your questions is not answered here, please contact the Grants Office.
When should I use this office, and when should I contact Institutional Advancement?
If you want to apply for any form of government funding, you should work with the grants office. This is true whether the sponsorship will be in the form of a grant, cooperative agreement, contract, or sub-award. You should begin working with this office before submitting a letter of intent or pre-application.
If you are interested in a grant from the private sector, you are welcome to contact either your development officer or Heidi Davis, (504) 865-3086. The grants and development offices will work together to determine how best to meet your needs.
If you seek a traditional gift, endowment, or another form of donation from the private sector, you should contact your college development officer.
What is a sponsored project?
By sponsored project, we mean an activity which is funded by a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement and for which there is a level of accountability to the sponsor that is characterized by three things: 1) a predefined work plan or scope of work, 2) a budget, and 3) reporting requirements. All government-funded projects are sponsored projects.
How do I apply for a grant through this office?
The protocol is described in under Submitting Applications. Please contact this office as soon as you decide to apply for funding. We are experts at planning and developing as well as submitting applications. The sooner we become involved in an application, the more we can contribute to its chance of success. Further, significant time is often required to secure institutional approvals, especially if course releases or cost-sharing is involved.
What is the difference between a co-PI, a co-I, and a collaborator?
While not all sponsors use these terms, the following definitions are generally accepted: A co-PI is a co-director of the project and shares leadership responsibilities with the Principal Investigator. Co-Investigators (co-Is) and other collaborators contribute to the significant development of the project but are not on equal footing with the PI(s). Often the terms co-I and collaborator are used interchangeably, but generally, the title co-I should be reserved for collaborators who devote at least 5% effort to the project.
What is the difference between a collaborator and a consultant?
A collaborator is an individual who contributes to the development of the project, whereas a consultant is usually a service provider who is not involved with shaping the project, but is performing routine services.
What is the definition of cost sharing, and how does it differ from those of cost matching and in-kind funding?
Cost sharing and cost matching refer to the portion of project costs not borne by the sponsor. Often these terms are used interchangeably. When a distinction is made, the term cost-sharing is used to describe the general situation in which the university bears a portion of the project costs, and the term cost matching is used in the more specific situation in which the university's share is required by the sponsor (see mandatory cost-sharing below). In-kind funding refers to contributions other than cash and to contributions from third-party sources. Examples of the former are a project leader devoting academic year effort to a project without the university charging his or her salary to the sponsor, and the sponsor paying for only a portion of the indirect costs associated with the project.
Forms of Cost Sharing/Matching
Mandatory cost-sharing is required by sponsors, either by the program solicitation or according to statute, regulation, or policy.
Voluntary committed cost-sharing is not required by sponsors but proposed by project leaders to demonstrate significant commitment on the part of the university or a third party. For example, voluntary cost-sharing occurs when a faculty member specifies in the application that he or she will devote academic year effort to a sponsored project and does not request a commensurate portion of personnel costs in the budget. This type of cost-sharing should be minimized as it results in an increased administrative burden and can result in significant financial costs, especially if the cost share is not met. In fact, some agencies, including the National Science Foundation, prohibit voluntary cost-sharing.
Uncommitted cost-sharing means the application of university or third-party resources exceeding those which have been committed for a sponsored project. This type of cost-sharing is not required by a sponsor, budgeted for the project, or committed elsewhere in the application or award agreement. Uncommitted cost-sharing ideas do not adversely affect the university in the above-specified ways.
I am charging salary to a sponosored project. Do I need to complete a time and effort report? If so, where can I get one?
If the project is funded in any part by a government agency or office, then yes, you will need to complete an effort report for each semester during which the award is active. In some cases, reports are required for projects sponsored by the private sector as well. In such cases, the grants office will notify the project leader, and the project leader will be responsible for notifying all other project contributors required to complete reports. Forms will be provided by the grants office. Each year, fall reports are due by January 15, spring reports by May 15, and summer reports by September 15.
What kinds of documents need to be routed? Letters of intent? Pre-applications? Only complete applications? What about technical reports?
Whether it's a letter of intent, pre-application, complete application, or technical report, if it contains any financial information—including the total amount requested or a list of current and pending awards, then the document must be approved through the grants office before being submitted. When in doubt, route! (Or ask.) We will work with you to meet your deadline.
What's the difference between a gift and a grant?
A gift is the voluntary transfer of funds or property from an individual or a privately-owned organization. The donor does not expect anything of value in return other than recognition. The funds may be restricted—designated for a specific purpose—or not. In contrast, a grant, cooperative agreement, or sponsored project contract is provided by an organization, not an individual. Grants and other forms of sponsorship generally require the performance of specific duties, such as research, reports, and the return of unused funds. Funds from a government entity are never grifts. However, funds from the private sector can be difficult to classify, and the distinction should be made by an expert from the grants or development office. In making this distinction, the following factors should be considered: whether a line-item budget is required, whether indirect costs can be charged, whether a progress report is required, whether the project has a termination period, whether unspent funds must be returned at the end of the project period, and whether there are specific instructions for the disposition of property, tangible or otherwise. (In each case, a yes is indicative of a gift.)
If there's a grant-related question that you would like answered, please email it to Heidi Davis.

Hardy Brown est un joueur professionnel américain de football américain né le  à Childress (Texas) et mort le  à Stockton (Californie).

Il a joué au poste de linebacker dans la National Football League (NFL), l'All-America Football Conference (AAFC) et l'American Football League (AFL).

Biographie
Alors âgé de quatre ans, il est le témoin du meurtre de son père. Il est ensuite envoyé avec ses frères et sœurs au , un orphelinat pour les enfants de francs-maçons décédés situé à Fort Worth au Texas où il se lie d'amitié avec Tex Coulter. Il y joue au football américain pour l'équipe des Mighty Mites. Il s'y révèle être un joueur hors pair et conduit son équipe en finale de l'État lors de son année senior.

Cette épopée fait l'objet en 2007 du livre  écrit par  adapté au cinéma en 2021 sous le titre 12 Mighty Orphans.

Il s'enrôle ensuite dans le Corps des Marines des États-Unis, servant comme Parachutiste marin (Paramarines) pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Au niveau universitaire, il a joué pour le Golden Hurricane représentants l'Université de Tulsa en NCAA.

En tant que professionnel, il a joué pour les 49ers de San Francisco, les Redskins de Washington et les Broncos de Denver. Lui et  sont les deux seuls joueurs à avoir participé aux championnats de l'All-America Football Conference, de la National Football League et de l'American Football League.

Brown devient un des joueurs défensifs les plus durs, éliminant de nombreux adversaires grâce à ses poussées d'épaule caractéristiques. Les Rams vont jusqu'à offrir une prime de  au joueur qui pourrait le sortir du jeu. Les officiels vérifient également une fois ses épaulettes avant le début d'un match afin de s'assurer qu'aucune plaque métallique ou tout autre matériel similaire n'y était dissimulé. Sa réputation était telle que lorsque le quarterback Bob Waterfield, futur membre du Hall of Fame, est heurté par une voiture, il déclare à la presse qu'il ignorait que Hardy Brown était en ville ().

Brown décède en 1991 dans un établissement psychiatrique après avoir souffert de démence et d'emphysème. Il souffrait énormément d'arthrite au niveau de l'épaule droite ce qui l'empêchait de lever le bras pour se gratter la tête.

Dans l'émission du Top 10 NFL sur NFL Network, Hardy a été classé  dans la catégorie des plaqueurs les plus redoutés de tous les temps.

Kim Kardashian reveals a lot (and we mean A LOT) in her new GQ interview, and we're not just talking about her nekkid bod. Between pics of the unclothed celeb in bed, a telling story unravels of a wife and mother who also happens to be married to the most famous rapper in the world. From her thoughts on his lyrics about sleeping with other women to her political leanings, nothing is off limits. That's why when asked about the feud between her hubby, Kanye West, and Taylor Swift, Kim had a few things to say.
It's definitely a murky situation: Kanye claims that he made Taylor aware of the line in a phone call prior to the release. Tay admits that a call took place, but denies that she gave approval. Instead, she says that she warned him of the misogynistic tone. Who's telling the truth?
And while this might just be Kim's word against Tay's, there's also apparently a tape with proof — which it totally likely, as we well know that nearly every moment of the Kardashian-West family's lives are documented. Things even went so far as Taylor's lawyer apparently trying to block the release of the footage. When GQ inquired, Kanye's camp confirmed the tape's existence but refused to release it. Taylor's peeps, on the other hand, released a full-on statement taking Kim down.
"Taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian as she recognizes the pressure Kim must be under and that she is only repeating what she has been told by Kanye West," the statement reads. "However, that does not change the fact that much of what Kim is saying is incorrect." So, they're saying that Kim is lying because she's being told to by Kanye? Oof.
While the matter is totally a music-biz big deal, it's sounding more and more like middle-school-type drama. For realz, just leave Tay alone and move on, Kim and Kanye.
If this is indeed a celeb feud, are you on Team Taylor or Team Kanye/Kim? Tweet us @BritandCo!

Ajax Modern Random Chess is a game information page. It is categorized as: Orthodox chess, .
Thanks David. Both pieces surely meet the same principle of 'non-capturing adopted steps' in Ajax Chess.
The Bishop in Fergus Duniho's Caïssa Britannia can also move (but not capture) like a Wazir. The Elephant in my own Shatranj Kamil (64) is an Alfil which can also move (but not capture) like a Dabbabah.
Charles Gilman said:...the Ajax pieces, which add an extra non-capturing move to a piece which can move with or without capturing it all its original directions.
Just found a piece with similar properties to the Ajax pieces: with non-capturing moves added to a piece which can move with or without capturing in all its original directions.
The Mandarin in Wuji Chinese Chess.
This new Mandarin can move (and capture) diagonally like in Chinese Chess, but it can also jump to any empty square within the fortress adjacent horizontally or vertically to the player's own King. The jumped square must be empty, therefore the Mandarin can't capture with this extra 'adopted' move.
Okay, I've made them transparent and added them as _jc_aa, _JC_AA, _jc_ac and _JC_AC.


A LEFT OUTER JOIN is one of the JOIN operations that allow you to specify a join clause. It preserves the unmatched rows from the first (left) table, joining them with a NULL row in the shape of the second (right) table.
The scope of expressions in either the ON clause includes the current tables and any tables in query blocks outer to the current SELECT. The ON clause can reference tables not being joined and does not have to reference either of the tables being joined (though typically it does).

Why choose a Private School?
There are many good reasons for parents to choose private schools for their children.

Why study in the USA?
