I awoke in typical, I drank a bottle of wine by-myself fashion, with a dry mouth and confusion at 4 this morning. I can already sense this little note will be littered with mildly relevant cultural and pop references and have little to do with the crepes I just ate for breakfast.
I hate the main character (the author) of this book. She is self indulgent, self obsessed and not the kind of person I would want to be friends with or invite to a dinner party. I am not the largest fan of this book, yet I feel like this book is an appropriate read for my month of Martha. The main character was making crepes in the book-so I thought…let's makes some crepes.
my last three crepes turned out exactly like my first two should of.
but I didn't have all the ingredients. So I mixed mustard and sour cream and put it with some chard, onions and curry powder-Lesson 1. don't do that ever again.
I organized my spice rack for the second time this month. Lucky for me I actually enjoy organizing it and I have no clue how to keep it organized, it works well for me.
and researched what to do with egg cartons..
Two cups of coffee later, laundry done, and counters cleaned, this type of a morning makes me want to drink wine and dance everyday.
That is until 6pm roles around and I am tired and have to go to bed like an old person in a nursing home. Eh, I see no problem here.

IGN has an early preview (and videos) up on Call of Duty: Ghosts. If you're a fan of the series, be excited. If not, it has a dog.
Telltale Games has continued to tease whatever it is they are teasing. They've revealed a fourth character called Shel, and a fifth character called Wyatt. They appear to be enjoying teasing us more than we enjoy being teased.
A CGI trailer for Techland's Dying Light has been released. Looks like Dead Island without an island and more movement speed.
A new trailer (well you shouldn't expect less around E3) for Killer is Dead has been released.
The first gameplay trailer for Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z has been released and confirms the game will be out on Xbox 360 and PS3 in 'early 2014'.
The E3 trailer for Thief has been released. It's titled 'Garrett the Master Thief' and gives a glimpse of what it takes to be the Master Thief.
An E3 teaser trailer for EA Sports UFC game has been released. More – we're sure – at E3.
See the history of Scorpion in this Injustice: Gods Among Us video.

Sticking with DARK things, here's an E3 trailer for Kalypso Media's "stealth-action game" coming to Xbox 360 and PC.
A trailer for Deus Ex: The Fall has been released. The game is coming to iOS devices "this summer".
Square Enix has confirmed that a new Legacy of Kain game is in development. The game – fully titled Legacy of Kain: Nosgoth – "is not being developed by Crystal Dynamics, nor are they working on a Legacy of Kain game right now and while our game is set in the world of Nosgoth, it's very much on a separate branch to both the Soul Reaver and Blood Omen series." Square Enix have admitted to being "cagey" for now as they were not prepared to give information about the game leaked onto Steam. [via CVG]
A digital release of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be arriving "soon" on PC, and is promised to run at 60fps on "most modern PCs". [via CVG]

Council of Churches of Santa Clara County --
The Purpose of the Council of Churches of Santa Clara County is to be the ecumenical presence in the county.
The Mission of the Council of Churches of Santa Clara County is to serve as a catalyst for its members as they act locally:
• to strengthen their ministries
• to support each other and
• to provide moral leadership for meaningful social change.
As a catalyst for it's members, it is the role of the Council of Churches to serve as an instigator, enabler, incubator, and connector on issues of concern to its members.
The Council exists to serve its members and affiliate members by enabling and empowering them to meet their collective goals as they act locally.
The Council focuses its efforts on issues of concern to those
who live within Santa Clara County and in so doing helps its
members address those issues to strengthen their ministries.
The Council will support the development of activities that help
its members carry out their mission to support each other.
The Council will promote innovative ways for member
congregations to support one another by sharing resources and activities.
To provide moral leadership, the Council of Churches will provide a prophetic voice empowering member congregations to contribute to meaningful social change by joining with others through the actions of the Council in its role of catalyst.
The Council of Churches is uniquely positioned as a religious
body to speak reflecting its members to the ethical dilemmas
facing the County.
It is not possible to effect meaningful social change for every
issue facing contemporary society. The Council therefore, will
focus on a few selected issues.

Our chronic dependence on electronic devices and their ubiquitous availability have fully seeped into contemporary narrative: Since the audience navigates their daily conundrums and mundane tasks aided by screens, so do many characters in television and film. Today it's not rare to see a text bubble pop up in a movie to let us in on a conversation happening via instant messages or for a Skype call to be a relevant plot point.
In first-time director Aneesh Chaganty's groundbreaking digital mystery "Searching," however, this practice is maximized to previously untapped extremes. Computer interfaces stop being a storytelling accessory; instead, they offer the entire field of vision. The silver screen mirrors the leading man's desktop — and later all other gadgets used during his mission — as if connected via HDMI cable.
Saturated green pastures and an idyllic blue sky in the opening shot announce we are in the Bliss default wallpaper of early 2000s Microsoft's Windows XP. This is the Kim family's computer where their precious memories are stored. Irreplaceable photographs, videos of momentous occasions, treasured recipes, and email exchanges are arranged in a poignant montage that leaps around between three accounts: David Kim (a heroic John Cho), Pamela (Sara Sohn, "Sense8"), and their daughter Margot (played as a teenager by Michelle La).
Intercutting a myriad of clips with supporting visuals and fitting excerpts for this introductory segment is a phenomenal editing feat from Nick Johnson and Will Merrick — their work throughout is exemplary — resulting in a concise conduit to dispatch exposition. Before "Searching" has hit the five-minute mark, we've already learned that Margot has been taking piano lessons since she was a young child; that her mother battled cancer, went into remission, relapsed, and, alas, passed away; and that David is silently struggling to attain closure.
Without warning, Chaganty negates any prospects of viewers interpreting technology as mere utilitarian instruments; their humanistic value always takes the spotlight. "Searching" is not interested in the machines and networks for their own sake, but observes the jubilation, anxieties, aspirations, and deviant behavior channeled through them. Screens here are an extension of the human psyche, and thus the film's design avoids gimmicky simplicity.
Self-appointed "Father of the Year" David is under the likely inaccurate impression that he and Margot, now 16, enjoy an above-average relationship sustained by honest communication. They chat multiple times a day and watch "The Voice" together, but they never openly touch on the shared loss that has caused an unuttered fracture between them. Each mourns alone under the same roof.
It's only when Margot goes missing following a late-night study session that the emotionally anesthetized parent reckons with the cruel realization that he ignores most aspects of his child's life. At this point we switch to Margot's laptop (a MacBook), which she left behind and is David's sole portal into her social habits and, potentially, information on her whereabouts. Detective Dad deciphers passwords to access vital social media accounts, alarmingly unveiling the picture of a lonely girl concealing plenty of cryptic secrets. Margot, as he knew her, doesn't match her online persona.
"Define 'friends,'" one forthright adolescent requests of David during his amateur investigation, not an unfounded inquiry considering how superficial bonds born on the internet tend to be. Count how many Facebook contacts you've actually met in person and how many of those qualify as more than acquaintances.
Diligently working on the case, Detective Vick (Debra Messing, in a rare movie role) functions as David's sounding board and unfaltering ally, even when desperation sets in and the once understated man is overrun with paranoia. Revealing anything more would spoil the engrossing process for the carefully planted details to blossom into mind-blowing revelations.
Still, an unsurprising outcome is how Cho's heartfelt and wide-ranging performance transcends the intricate mechanics of this software-operated piece. Too often relegated to enliven supporting characters with his charismatic presence, the actor makes the most of this opportunity to display the subtlety of his skills as a father turned vigilante. Messing, who carries the second-most substantial part, plays a stoic variation on her turn in the crime comedy "The Mysteries of Laura"; she is ultimately convincing, even if one-note.
With the exception of the perplexing visual artificiality of multiple broadcast news videos in the third act — as opposed to the organic stylization of interactions meant to look like webcam footage — the execution in "Searching" is an anomaly in its inventiveness to find solutions that can keep us engaged in spite of the claustrophobic set-up.
Chaganty and co-writer Sev Ohanian refrained from facilitating a cautionary tale centered on the unspeakable dangers that lie ahead with every click. Their approach concentrates on experiences that are collectively understood in relation to modern artifacts and how they transform our codes of conduct.
Early on in "Searching," self-doubt is implicit in a close-up of David typing and deleting a message for Margot about her mother. His face is not on camera, but the space bar moving back and forward is enough for us to understand. Similarly, the notion that an exclamation point can be misconstrued as anger makes for a comedic yet telling observation about our online language rules.
Unavoidably, "Searching" might prompt concerned adults to closely monitor their teens' activity on popular websites and even beyond that. Nonetheless, one can hope for an outcome in which, rather than inspiring anyone to implement surveillance as a preemptive measure, this exceptionally astute suspense flick can persuade us to uphold compassionate dialogue as the best analog safety feature.

The Castle Esplanade is an area of open ground between Edinburgh Castle and Castlehill. The area is used for the annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Edinburgh Castle is perhaps the city's most famous landmark. It stands on top of the remaining core of an extinct volcano. Excavations suggest the site was inhabited by Bronze Age man as early as 900 BC, and was fortified by Iron Age man roughly 2000 years ago. The oldest part of the present day Castle is St Margaret's Chapel, built in the early 12th century. The Castle holds the Honours of Scotland and more recently has welcomed back the Stone of Scone otherwise known as the Stone of Destiny.

Diploma in Arts (Classical Studies)
Course 319-CS (2009)
http://www.cca.unimelb.edu.au
Students of classical studies and archaeology are uniquely placed to develop flexible and critical skills at a leading international centre for the study of the ancient world. The only program of its kind in Australia, classical studies and archaeology draws upon cutting edge research, the world class collection at the Ian Potter Museum of Art and a range of innovative multimedia resources. The Centre for Classics and Archaeology, within the School of Historical Studies, provides students with a multi-disciplinary perspective on ancient Graeco-Roman, Aegean and Near Eastern civilisations. A number of fieldwork options are provided in which students gain direct and practical project experience. Students also have the opportunity to study Ancient Greek (Language study streams) and Latin (Language study streams) and may specialise in a particular area or pursue broader interests. An articulated structure of higher degree study options exists for students seeking to build on their interests and the knowledge gained in this area. The study of classics and archaeology is designed to foster a wide range of critical skills in the historical, literary, archaeological, linguistic and art historical analysis of ancient civilisations. A diverse range of interests are accommodated by subjects that cover such topics as archaeology, religious, political and social life in ancient societies, classical literature and mythology, art and architecture. Classical studies and archaeology students graduate with transferable skills that draw on the analytical and research knowledge gained in this area of study and which can lead to a variety of career options and pathways.

When glass touch screens feel like sandpaper
By John D. Sutter, CNN
| Filed under: Innovation
TeslaTouch, from Disney Research, uses electrical impulses to simulate texture and friction on glass screens.
A new form of touch-screen technology debuts this week
TeslaTouch aims to let touch screen users feel different sensations on glass
The technology uses electrical impulses to simulate friction and texture
The Disney Research project has not been commercialized
(CNN) -- Glass screens that can feel the touch of your fingers are all the rage these days. You'll find them in all kinds of gadgets, from smartphones to tablet computers.
But the way a team of Disney Researchers sees it, there's one huge problem with this technology: All glass screens feel exactly the same.
So, OK, that "problem" may not be keeping you up at night. But think about the difference between typing on a hardware keyboard, where you can feel whether your fingers are hitting the right keys, and a touch screen keyboard, where the letters "q" and "w" feel exactly the same -- as does the space between them.
That's the problem that Disney Research is hoping to solve with a new technology it's calling "TeslaTouch."
This new type of touch screen, which was demonstrated for the first time at a tech conference in New York this week, uses a small static force to control friction between a user's finger and the touch screen.
"It's kind of like a buzzing or a vibration. It has the same effect as a buzz," said Chris Harrison, one of the Disney researchers and a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University. "But if you carefully tune the frequency and the vibration of the panel you can actually create things that feel like sandpaper or rubber or a wall."
In the case of a touch screen keyboard -- like those on the Apple iPhone, for example -- users would be able to feel the location of the keys, and could learn to "touch type" without looking at their hands, he said.
When people clicked on a file to drag it into a folder, they would be able to feel the weight of the file and would know, through their sense of touch, that it had landed in the appropriate location, he said. Larger files, like HD movies, could also be made to seem heavier than small files, like text documents, Harrison said.
"A heavier document, like one that's going to take longer to transfer, is going to feel heavier," he said.
Unlike other attempts at touch-screen technology with "haptic feedback," or impulses that stimulate the sense of touch, TeslaTouch has no moving parts. It uses small electrical impulses -- kind of like those involved in static cling -- to create a pull and push between a person's fingertip and the gadget's screen.
Here are some of the nerdy details: The touch screen is made up of three layers. A glass plate, topped with a transparent electrode and an insulator, is what people touch. To simulate friction and texture, the electrode creates small electrical fields in the insulation layer. These fields oscillate between positive and negative charges, creating those sensations.
Others have tried to use vibrations to make touch-sensitive screens feel more realistic. The BlackBerry Storm's screen, for example, compresses and clicks when users push on it successfully.
But that doesn't allow for users to touch different parts of the screen and receive different touch sensations, Harrison said. That is possible with TeslaTouch.
The Disney Research technology, which has not been commercialized, has been incorporated into at least two prototypes. One mobile device was demonstrated this week at a conference held by the Association for Computing Machinery. Another touch screen table is working at the Disney Research offices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he said.
Check out the project's website for a video demo (bonus features include mysterious hands petting cats, pinching cloth and fondling glassware).
If you're feeling especially studious, the research team has posted an academic paper that explains more fully how the tech works.
He said this technology isn't the "magic bullet" that will bring multitouch, tactile touch screens into the mainstream. But it may move them one step closer.

Journal – June-July 2009
Time for another couple of long journal entries. Again there's just one per month, but there's been plenty to write about, as I've had a good time socialising and going to a summer ball, and a few news stories have caught my eye as usual too. So I hope you enjoy!
Sunday June 28, 2009
Wow, over a month since I last wrote in here, I'm getting worse! Ah well. There hasn't been much to tell you, quite honestly. But things have been picking up a bit recently.
At work, apart from all the normal jobs, I've been trying to fill out my Job Evaluation appeal like everyone else. Thankfully they've extended the deadline though. Not that they'll fully read what we eventually give them I suspect, but still, no harm in trying to get a fair score!
I've also signed up for an NVQ in Customer Service, being run by South Devon College, and which my manager suggested would be good for me to go on. Not because I need to improve my customer service skills necessarily, but it might be useful and will make a good addition to my CV. It will start later this year, and mainly involves someone coming in to assess me as I work, and a few hours of formal training workshops as well. There's no exams or homework or anything like that, which is good. Another colleague has mentioned going on a management training course of some sort before, but as I'm not particularly aiming for a managerial position, and as the course seems to involve a lot of reading from what I gather, I can't claim I'm overly keen on it. Maybe one day, but not at this moment in time.
Away from work, I've just got back from a weekend with AB & AL in Exeter. AB was going to cook a belly of pork on Friday night – which she did, but it didn't turn out that great apparently. I don't know what it was like, because I didn't get to eat any in the end .She had put my plate in the oven to warm it up for when I got there, but it ended up cracking! So I ended up getting fish and chips instead.
On Saturday, we spent a bit of time in The Globe, before meeting up with ST and going for a meal at a pub by the Quay (near the On The Waterfront pizza restaurant, which was too busy for us to go in). I ended up having fish and chips there as well, funnily enough, followed by a lovely sticky toffee pudding.
After that, we went to the Tenpin bowling alley, where we had a drink and played pool and air hockey while waiting for 10pm to arrive – because that's when the unlimited bowling happens, between then and midnight when the alley closes. So, after losing at pool to AL, and air hockey to ST (which she'd never played before, but she was very good!), we got in 3 games of bowling among the four of us. I beat AB in all of them – quite surprisingly on the first one, because I was a good 20-25 points behind at least, but then managed to get 2 strikes in a row to pass her! So I won that match, and AL won the other two overall.
Then today, AL went home, while AB and I met D, a friend of hers from our school. He must have been in her year, as I don't remember him, but he's a cool guy. We went to a pub in town and had a carvery for lunch, which was very nice and filling! Then we popped into Currys, so AB could show D her new TV – she's got a Samsung LCD TV now, which looked pretty good. Only one Scart socket, but it does have 3 HDMI (High Definition) inputs. We don't think it's full-on HD ready (as it's not 1080pi standard), but it's good enough for what she wants and what she can afford. After that we went our separate ways, and I did a little bit of shopping before coming home.
I'll be going back up there in a couple of weeks again, because The Globe are having a Summer Ball, with a Phil Collins tribute act, disco, raffle, etc. The dress code is smart, but that's not a problem. It should be a good night. AB, AL & ST are all going too.
So that's pretty much all I've been up to really. As for the news, the MPs expenses scandal has been rumbling away, and Parliament now have a new Speaker, plus the BBC have published their own expenses, which have also received bits of criticism in the current climate of people searching for information. Still, they did better than the government, who did finally publish their expenses online – but, unlike the Daily Telegraph's versions, lots of detail was blacked out, including addresses of second homes for security reasons, meaning you couldn't find out about things like 'flipping' second home addresses, which was exposed by the Telegraph. So the government still aren't being as open as they say they are, surprise surprise!
But all of that, and wars and disputed elections in foreign countries, and even Wimbledon (where we only have Andy Murray left for the Brits now) have all been overshadowed since Friday, as there's only been one story dominating the headlines.
Michael Jackson has died at the age of only 50. The understanding is that he was taking lots of medication, perhaps even more so than usual in preparation for his set of 50 gigs at the O2 Arena, and he had been looking very frail, giving people doubts as to whether he could do it. But nobody could have suspected he would pass away. He was a bit weird and certainly controversial, and he's not one of my favourite artists either – but some of his music is still good, he was a great influence on many other artists, and he did a lot of work for charity. Plus it's a tragedy for anyone to die that young. So it's given the media plenty to do this weekend, with the radio and music TV channels playing his songs non-stop, and tributes have been paid to him at Glastonbury over the weekend as well.
I won't say any more on it – the papers have been chock-full of it enough already! Instead, I'll leave it there for this week, and I'll write again in a couple of weeks or so after The Globe's Summer Ball!
Right, I'm back from another few days away – I've been up to Exeter twice in the past week or so. Last weekend I went to The Globe's Summer Ball, and it was a good night, with AB, AL & ST also there. They had Bill Collins (a Phil Collins tribute act), who was a guy singing along to backing tracks, but he did sound like Phil Collins to be fair. There was a buffet as well, and a disco to round off the evening. We all dressed up smart, as was the requirement, so I had a shirt, tie, smart trousers and my work shoes on. I didn't wear a suit though. We even got a free bottle of champagne from Trevor, one of the guys overseeing the evening, and from one of AB's friends from the pub, so that was cool too. There wasn't the raffle that the ticket said there would be, unless they held it before we arrived, but that doesn't matter.
Then, after a two-day week at work, I went back up to Exeter again on Wednesday, as my best made SM had come down to stay. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to go for long, because of some training on a new resource management system at work that had been pencilled in for this week, but they've moved it back until at least the end of August now, and it's still not 100% clear if we'll be using it in our department at all (given that we already have a system for recording time and resources used on jobs).
Anyway, after our traditional KFC, and a game of Monopoly on his laptop, AB, SM & I went to the hospital for him to have his check-up, which went alright. He hasn't noticed any real improvement since the laser treatment he had, and still has to have a day or two off work because his eyes are tired, but the doctor says that could be the lighting conditions. I know our lighting at work was bad before the new lights were put in a while back, so it's very possible. Anyway, his next appointment will be in about 4 months time.
We didn't do a lot that evening, we just lazed around back at AB's flat. SM watched the 4th Harry Potter film (The Goblet Of Fire) which I'd brought down on DVD for him. He watched it on AB's PC, as she hasn't got her DVD player hooked up to her new flat screen TV yet. Which wasn't ideal, as it kept freezing every so often – her computer's not greatly set up it would seem!
On Thursday, when we eventually went out for lunch mid-afternoon, we popped down to Pizza Hut, before going bowling, which I did pretty badly at this time around, while SM did rather well. Then we spent some time in The Globe, putting music on the jukebox – or 'jokebox' as SM accidentally said at one point! Actually, when we were in Pizza Hut and he was telling us about his Caribbean cruise, he mentioned Rabbi steak instead of rib-eye steak! So that was two things to tease him about, and he couldn't find any gaffes of mine to taunt me with in return! But anyway, I didn't do spectacularly at pool in the pub either, and we ended up relaxing back at AB's flat after that for the rest of the evening.
Then on Friday, we had lunch in The Globe (I actually had one of their breakfasts), before heading back to AB's flat for the afternoon to watch the 5th Harry Potter film (Order Of The Phoenix) – this time with audio description for SM's benefit, which I forgot was on the 4th DVD as well! The reason we were watching both of those films was because the 6th film has just come out (The Half-Blood Prince). So we met up with ST and went to the fish and chip shop (where I had jumbo sausage and chips) before heading to the Odeon and seeing the new film. Which was pretty good, as all of the films in the series have been so far.
Then yesterday (Saturday), SM headed home in the morning, while I had lunch with AB at The Globe (a burger this time) and a few games of pool (which I did quite well at this time!), before making my own way home. So it was a good few days altogether with my friends.
Nothing much to report on the work front really. We had a couple of lads in on work experience who did a newsletter for their school. It tends to be what we suggest they do, as it does help them to see a bit of how the whole process works. We've also got to get our Job Evaluation appeals in by the end of this coming week, and I've just about finished mine I think! It's hard to keep it concise, but I've done my best.
At home, we've all got prizes on the Premium Bonds this month, but again things have been quiet otherwise. As has the news been really. England and Australia are playing the Ashes cricket matches at the moment – we drew the first, and are winning the second, so nothing to shout about. Michael Jackson keeps popping up in the news as they try to sort out who gets what, including who looks after his children. And there's the usual other cheerful stuff, such as swine flu of course. And Britain's oldest WWI veteran has died aged 113!

Jury to begin deliberations in alleged Highway…
Jury to begin deliberations in alleged Highway 99 assault
By Ryan Olson |
PUBLISHED: August 23, 2012 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: April 21, 2018 at 10:43 am
OROVILLE — A jury is expected to receive the case today of a Chico man charged in connection with allegedly running a woman off of Highway 99 a year ago.
Both sides rested Wednesday after the sole day of testimony in the trial of Jeffrey Lawrence Stone. Stone is charged in Butte County Superior Court with a felony count of assault likely to produce great bodily injury and two misdemeanor counts of driving on a suspended license with priors.
During opening statements, deputy district attorney Kennedy Rizzuto told the jury that witnesses on northbound Highway 99 through Chico saw Stone's blue Chevrolet pickup act aggressively toward a green Mazda car driven by Saleah Terry on Aug. 22, 2011. Stone ultimately pushed Terry's car toward the top of the on-ramp at East First Avenue, she said.
"It rammed the car and the car spun off the road," Rizzuto said.
Defense attorney Bradford Weston told the jury that the prosecution didn't have enough evidence to prove that Stone willfully used his vehicle as a weapon. He noted that Terry wasn't going to testify.
"That's a large missing piece of evidence," Weston said.
He said the prosecution was relying on witness testimony and had little physical evidence to present.
One of the witnesses for the prosecution was Gustavo Esparza-Mejia.
Speaking with the aid of a Spanish-language interpreter, Esparza-Mejia said he first saw the car pass him on 99 and then pull into his lane. He later saw a pickup pass him and merge into his lane at a very close distance.
Later, the pickup was in the left-hand, number one lane next to the car in the right, number two lane. He saw a man in the pickup's passenger seat put a hand out the window and gestured to the car, but he didn't know if it was angry or friendly.
The pickup touched the car briefly for about 100 feet. The pickup touched the car a second time, and the car spun out.
"The truck was the one hitting the car," Esparza-Mejia said.
He stopped to help the car's driver and didn't see where the pickup went.
During cross-examination, Esparza-Mejia didn't recall the exact date of the incident. He also said that he made his statement at the scene and didn't provide a statement to an officer over the phone.
That contradicted testimony from CHP officer Robert Boyer, who said he got Esparza-Mejia's contact information at the scene and had a Spanish-speaking officer call the witness later.
Earlier, Boyer had testified that he responded to the crash site and helped close the blocked ramp. He examined Terry's vehicle and saw an area with what appeared to be a fresh mark from a rubber tire. There was also a large dent the shape of a tire along the front, driver's side wheel.
After getting a vehicle description and a partial license plate number from another witness, Boyer contacted Stone. Stone reportedly told him that he sold the truck a year ago. He later said he had been working all day, but later admitted to being in a crash on 99.
Stone reportedly said that the car ran into his tailgate.
Stone's son, Bobby, took the stand for the defense. He told the jury that he and his father were heading back to work as tree trimmers after running a load to the Neal Road Landfill.
The Stones came up upon Terry's car in the inside lane. Bobby Stone said Terry was driving slowly, so they tried to merge to the right to pass but she reportedly cut them off.
He asked her what she was doing from his window, but couldn't recall his tone of voice. Bobby Stone said Terry, who was carrying a soda cup, prepared to throw the cup at the pickup. At that point, Terry's car may have touched the pickup, he said. Her brakes engaged and she swerved off the road.
The Stones turned around at the Cohasset Road exit, but left after seeing that Terry seemed OK.
Terry has previously claimed that Bobby Stone leaned out the window and yelled racial slurs. Terry is black, and her account of the incident prompted some to describe the alleged incident as a hate crime. No such charges have been filed, and that allegation wasn't discussed Wednesday.
Bobby Stone has been charged with a misdemeanor count of disturbing the peace by using offensive language. His case is still pending.

Covered a high school band competition and was reminded of my own years in the trumpet section. Combining artistry with precision and emotion with discipline, all within a group setting, requires a unique skillset. It was great watching this group get excited, silly, bored, nervous and finally relieved. Long live the band geek!

Rep. Scalise Files Petition to Bring Born-Alive Bill to House Floor

Representative Steve Scalise (R., La.), minority whip in the House of Representatives, has filed a discharge petition today to override Democratic leadership and bring the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act to the House floor. The bill, sponsored by Representative Ann Wagner (R., Mo.), would require that doctors provide medical care to infants born alive in attempted abortion procedures. Senator Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) sponsored a similar bill in the Senate, which Democrats blocked in a floor vote on February 25.
Scalise told National Review on Tuesday that he hopes to get enough signatures on the petition to bring the House bill to the floor and force Democrats to go on record on the issue. "Pelosi refuses to bring it up for a vote," Scalise said. "My discharge petition, if we achieve 218 signatures, will allow us to override that and bring the bill to the floor for debate and a vote."
Because the petition requires a majority, 21 Democratic representatives will have to join all 197 Republicans in signing on. Scalise is hopeful that many of his colleagues across the aisle will be willing to do so. "I know there are a number that are interested in the bill, and there are a lot who won their elections saying they are going to be pro-life," he noted. "Here's their opportunity to stand up and be counted. If they are really pro-life, they'd sign on to this."
Since Wagner introduced her legislation in February, House Republicans have taken to the floor for 25 consecutive legislative days to call for unanimous consent to debate and vote on the bill. They were blocked each time by Democratic leadership.

But now Scalise believes that, because the born-alive bill is so popular with Americans, some Democratic politicians will seriously consider supporting his petition and even ultimately voting for the legislation. According to recent Rasmussen polling, nearly 70 percent of Americans believe doctors should be required to care for children born alive after a failed abortion procedure, including 61 percent of Democrats.
"I think they're out of touch with Americans, and even with most Democrats," Scalise said. "It shows you just how far left Pelosi's new majority has moved. They've shifted away from a moderate-to-liberal party to now where socialists in their party have literally taken over the center of gravity. They're on the wrong side on this issue."
The House voted on the born-alive bill in January 2018, when Republicans still held the majority, and only six Democrats crossed over to support the legislation (including one, Tim Walz (D., Minn.), who later apologized and said he had voted for it mistakenly; Walz is no longer in office). But Republicans are hopeful this time might be different, as 40 new Democratic representatives took office just this year, many of whom ran as moderates, and many of whom hail from districts that Donald Trump won in 2016.
"Unfortunately, Pelosi has been strong-arming a lot of people away from this bill," Scalise said. "I think it's going to be a grassroots movement all across the country of people who think it's against American values to allow babies who are born alive to be killed. . . . A lot of members are going to be asked why they haven't signed on, and not only why they haven't signed, but when they're going to sign."

I can't believe Seraphina came out over two years ago! Shadow Scale is a sequel we've waited a long time for and it continues to be one of the most interesting takes on dragons I've ever read. Dragons, who pride themselves on their logic and lack of emotion, have co-existed with humans under a fragile treaty but remain both uneasy of the other's existence. Both sides were unaware of half-human half-dragons like Seraphina until she outed herself, and others like her, to save the kingdom of Goredd and to aid the future king and queen, Lucian and Glisselda. But now a war has broken out between dragons and humans and Seraphina must search for the other half-human half-dragons she's seen in her mind in the hopes they will help. It forces Seraphina to face her past, the kind of power she has and to find out where she belongs.
The book begins with a short and sweet prologue that recaps from the first book (so needed this!) and sets the stage for what's to come. There's a lot of adventure and Seraphina must travel all over to find the others. But what really drew me in were the connections Seraphina makes with her fellow half-dragons, her love for her Uncle Orma and her relationships with Glisselda and Lucian (love them both but especially him!). Shadow Scale hits so many emotional notes during moments I didn't expect and that's what moved me about this book. Even though she's supposed to be seeking the others for Goredd, she's also doing it for herself. She travels with Abdo, the young half-dragon who can speak directly into people's minds, and he's one of my favorite characters in the series. His strength and devotion to Seraphina is so heartwarming. Each new half-dragon they find brings interesting characteristics into the fold and I looked forward to the moment when they'd all be together.
But in the background is also the love between Seraphina and Lucian. The author handles their relationship incredibly well. It's not some huge drama that overwhelms the book. It's simple: they love each other and they don't want to hurt Glisselda. That's not to say they don't steal a few romantic moments for themselves (truthfully I wanted more!) but the mutual love and respect between Seraphina, Lucian and Glisselda was refreshing to see in a fantasy series that could've easily gone down the overwrought love triangle route so many others do.
It takes some time for Seraphina and Abdo to find the others and it does get to a point where it drags. A lot of new characters are introduced, some more effective than others, and I think that portion of the book could've been condensed to the move story along faster. And during this journey, it inevitably leads to questions of their existence (I wish this had come up sooner because it was so interesting!) and it brings Seraphina face-to-face with a half-dragon whose intentions are evil. Even though this half-dragon is the main antagonist, I thought it took up too much of the book. I kept wondering when Seraphina would finally figure out her own true nature to fight back and it basically happens at the last minute. I still love how everything ended but I think it took too long to get there.
I do! It's a great fantasy series about dragons and again, the take is really unique. And now that both books are out (today!), you won't have the 2+ year wait I did. Check it out!
Who doesn't love Lucian? (Seriously, who doesn't? Because I will MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND. Ahem.) Anyway, yes to everything you've said about Shadow Scale! I liked it a lot, particularly because the world is expanded and we get to meet more new friends (and enemies). But I also found the pacing a little faulty. Still, it's a great series!

It seems like I wasn't the only one who decided to take the weekend down a few notches after Halloween and all the craziness around town, and hopefully you were able to see some of the awesome bands playing over the weekend, particularly on Sunday. To be honest, my highlight was registering with a chiropractor while at the Dia De Los Muertos festival at Sherman Heights Community Center because part of the reason I've been quieter on the interwebs is because my whole right side just feels like a mess lately and laptopping only exacerbates the problems. So yay. Here's to getting fixed. Monday archives after the jump.

Q: How can I get files back after moving them to the Documents folder in a live environment? I have launched a live CD session (Ubuntu 8.04) from a USB key on my laptop where Windows XP is installed. During this session I moved various files from Windows XP folders to the Documents folder located on the Ubuntu desktop. Then I removed the USB key because I thought these files would be somewhere on the USB key. NO, they don t seem to be there.
SO I have re-launched the live CD session from the USB key. Surprisingly the files are no longer in the Documents folder on Ubuntu desktop. I mention that i didn't switch off the laptop during all these operations.
Is anyone able to tell me where are these files? Thank you so much.

A: Unless the system on the USB flash drive was set up with persistence, files saved to the live system are only ever stored in memory, they are not actually saved to a disk anywhere, and so they disappear when you shut down or reboot.
That is, without persistence, a live USB works the same as a live CD or DVD. Saving files on the system running from it does not alter it, and those files are not preserved.

*

*Where exactly are programs and files saved on a non-persistent live system?
You said you moved the files to the live system. Since the files were on a hard disk originally, moving them into the live filesystem actually consisted of two operations behind the scenes:

*

*The files were copied to the live filesystem.

*After the copying succeeded, the files were deleted at the source.

If you have backups, then the solution is simply to restore your documents from backups.
If they're not backed up and are important, then the solution is to attempt to undelete the files from the volume they were copied from. This is not guaranteed to succeed, but especially if you have not written to that disk since, you might actually be able to recover everything.
As with any data recovery operation, the most important rule is do not write to the disk that you need to recover data from. This runs a high risk of overwriting the data corresponding to the files. When a file is deleted, the data associated with it is rarely immediately destroyed. Instead, the locations on disk where the data are stored are made available for subsequent writes. Until something is written over your files, they may  be recoverable.
What some people don't realize is that if you have an operating system installed on a disk, just booting the installed OS performs numerous write operations and runs a high risk of overwriting the data from deleted files. Therefore,  you must not boot the OS installed on that drive until you've recovered any data you want to recover (or decided, for sure, not to do so). If you have booted from the drive, you might be able to recover data, but the chances are lower.
It is safe to boot from a live CD/DVD/USB when attempting to recover files from an NTFS partition. That doesn't automatically write to any NTFS volumes.
As for where to put the files when you've recovered them, although setting up a live USB with a persistent area is one option, I suggest you go the simpler route of plugging a separate external drive (which could be another USB flash drive) into the computer and storing the files there.

So, that's what happened. The obvious follow-up question, How do I actually attempt to undelete the files? is not inherently about Ubuntu -- they're on a Windows system -- and if you need help with that then you might be better served by a community with more Windows experts that actively solicits Windows-related questions, such as Super User.
However, some approaches to recovering the data can be done using Ubuntu, and those are on-topic for this site. Rather than jumping in immediately and trying things out with the hope they will work, I recommend you take a careful approach. Specifically:

*

*Make sure you know how to avoid writing to the affected disk (or, more precisely, the affected partition).

*Most techniques for undeleting files do not require that the partition be mounted, or even benefit from it being mounted. However, if for any reason you do mount the partition again before you're done recovering files, you should make sure that it is mounted read-only, and not read-write.

As for how to go about recovering the files, see:

*

*DataRecovery, especially the section on NtfsProgs, though you might end up needing to use other methods from that page.

*DataRecovery/NtfsUndelete, which gives the instructions you will likely end up using.

*Recover accidentally removed files on NTFS partition

*If you cannot undelete the files individually, then you may need to attempt more cumbersome methods. Unless you have experience recovering data, I recommend you ask for help well before that point. But you might eventually end up having to use (i.e., might benefit from) some of the techniques described in How do I recover my accidentally lost Windows partitions after installing Ubuntu?. Note that this is a very different situation from yours, and if you haven't written to the disk since moving files off it then your changes with undeletion may actually be pretty good. So don't start there; I'm instead mentioning it mainly because it's an important Ubuntu-related data recovery resource.

Finally, there are three things to keep in mind:

*

*Don't write to the volume that contained the files, until you're done recovering data, because that can overwrite the contents of the deleted files. Yes, I've said it before, but I'm saying it again because it is so important.

*While Ubuntu and other GNU/Linux systems are often used for recovering data from Windows systems, even by users who mainly use Windows, not all methods of doing so use Ubuntu. You may want to look into other methods. And certainly, not all methods are described here. The main focus of this answer is on explaining what happened and how to proceed in general.

*If at all possible, use a supported release of Ubuntu. You said you're using Ubuntu 8.04. That release is really old and hasn't been supported for years! I'm not saying this contributed to your original problem -- non-persistent live media work the same in every release of Ubuntu -- but it's better to use a supported release of Ubuntu, especially for anything important like data recovery, if you choose to use Ubuntu for that.

A: First of all, do not use the internal drive for anything but recovery until you have recovered the important files. This is very important. So if you want a drive where you can save files, please create it in another computer.

Please download a current version, the ultra light Ubuntu flavour Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 32 bit (alias i386), which is good for an old computer with Windows XP.
Use mkusb to create a persistent live drive in the USB drive. This means that the files you save will be stored in a separate partition, and survive reboot. If you want to read the files when connected to Windows, you should save them in the usbdata partition. Otherwise, you can save them in 'Documents' and the other standard directories of the persistent live system.

It took the prodding of four of his World War II buddies, but Leon Blanding began to relate the story of his 192nd and last mission over Europe as a fighter pilot.
Blanding and his four comrades were part of a special eager-for-action breed of Americans who had joined the fight before America officially entered the war. Like the others, Blanding had signed up for the Royal Canadian Air Force in early 1941.
He and 321 members of what was to become the U.S. Army's Fourth Fighter Group came to Kissimmee's Kon Tiki Village Resort Hotel Friday and Saturday for a 40th reunion.
Now 67, Blanding was 26 at the time, a squadron commander who had shot down five enemy planes.
It was a clear morning in August 1944, Blanding recalled, when he led 47 Mustang P-51 pilots swooping onto the town of Stravenger, Norway, guns blazing at a group of German ammunition dumps and gunboats.
"They were ready for us," Blanding said.
Caught in a vicious crossfire, three planes went down and the attack broke off as suddenly as it began. Blanding's canopy was gone; his helmet had been shot off; his head was a bloody mess chafed raw by winds whipping at his face. They were 400 miles from safety. Without a helmet, Blanding had no radio to tell his men how badly he was hurt. He tied a makeshift tourniquet around each arm and thigh, and set course for Scotland. He made it two hours later only to pass out in the ambulance taking him to an army hospital.
It was a time for memories.
"That was the most important time our lives," said George Carpenter, now a 68-year-old doctor living in Paris, Tenn.
Carpenter, who had 13 kills before being shot down in April 1944, went to England and joined the Royal Air Force in 1942 after the U.S. Army Air Corps turned him down. He had fainted while being inoculated for tetanus.
"I went to England as a civilian and joined because I wanted to fly and they would let me," he said. "I suppose when you are young and feeling adventuresome you do lot of things."
Like Carpenter, Cadman Padgett wanted to fly. He lacked the educational qualifications to join the American Air Corps, and so signed with the RAF.
"I knew it was inevitable that we would join the war and I wanted to fly instead of carrying a rifle," said Padgett, who had accumulated 200 flight hours by the time he joined the RAF in 1941.
"It was the lack of education that made me go out there," he said. "But I was proud to wear their uniform."
When the United States entered the war, most of the Americans in the RAF transferred to the U.S. Army and became the backbone of the Eagles Fourth Fighter Group, which is credited with 1,052 kills.
Its association was formed in 1968 for former pilots, crewmen and administrative personnel who served in Debbim, England between 1942 and 1945. Four decades later a lot of those daredevil pilots drove to Kissimmee.
"Heck, a lot of us are afraid to fly," said Cecil Manning, 65.

TRUTH IN MARKETING
Marketing, snakes on a plane
I am very much looking forward to New Line's thriller Snakes on a Plane for one reason: the title.
In this day of bland, would-be exciting one-word movie names — Derailed, Havoc — there is something refreshingly straightforward and old-school about the title of this Sam Jackson movie about, well, poisonous snakes let loose on a plane.
Apparently, I'm not the only one who feels this way. Today Dave McNary has a piece in Variety about the buzz for the pic created just by its title:
"Though New Line has done no publicity and the thriller is eight months away from release, buzz has reached epic proportions — surprising for a high-concept, moderately budgeted film that would ordinarily be dismissed as late-summer horror fare aimed at teens."
He goes on to say that the title has already prompted songs, t-shirts and even a bit of descriptive slang:
"Or take this recent posting in the Urban Dictionary site explaining just what the phrase 'snakes on a plane' means: 'How's your relationship with Chloe going?' 'It's getting close to being like snakes on a plane, man, seriously.'"
UPDATE: Ray Pride has been on this story for some time. He forwards a link to the film's blog as well as "Josh Friedman's epic anecdote about the film's title."

They say that painting is all about preparing and maintaining a clean brush will ensure that your next painting job just begins. Meticulous approach shown here uses the least paint thinner and maximizes efficiency.
A high quality brush like Purdy last for years if proper care. They cost a little more, but they are really worth it. If you ever had to repaint something because the cheapo brush using lines made or lost in the paint bristles, then you know that a good brush is poured quickly.
The above cleaning technique uses only 1/8 of diluent to completely submerge and saturate the brush. Higher amounts of thinner will not be more effective in the cleaning brush, so why waste?
Once the brush is soaked with a beautiful stroke a stainless steel brush through it a few times, then repeat the process 4-5 times. This may seem like a tedious technique, but you will save finer money and replace the dirty brushes. Watch the video to see the process in action.

Last night I was pondering what kind of house project I want to get into next when a lightbulb went off:: the kitchen. The kitchen is my least favorite room in our house. The space feels contractor-basic with 1990s honey oak cabinets. The handles are brass but not in a good way. I'd love to photograph recipes in our kitchen but right now I avoid it. All that said, we have a lot to be thankful for:: the cabinets are functional and we have added nice appliances.
To put it simply: the current aesthetic in our kitchen is dated and not our style.
We have lived in our home 3 years have since talked about a kitchen remodel, but the timing hasn't been right. Money is tight! But last night I decided that money shouldn't be an obstacle--instead I am going to treat it like a challenge. I have decided to get started on our kitchen this summer--on a very small budget.
I didn't spend any time in here before I took the photos, so pardon the clutter & dirt in our kitchen! I wanted to share what our kitchen really looks like right now.
Next week I'll be back on the blog sharing initial design ideas for the space. I'd love your feedback on them, so please be sure to visit the blog again next week!


Episode 7 of Faith left me literally a sobbing mess who needed to stick face in cold water to calm down.
Fave drama of 2012 and possibly ever!
Proper and cap heavy reaction post coming but I couldn't wait!
A video of a particular scene in this week's eps of Answer Me 1997.
!!!!! Finally! I am screaming!
And preview for ep 7 of Arang and the Magistrate. Spookiness continues and for those who like a bit of shippiness with their supernatural mysteries, the ep promises to oblige. Plus, I am snickering at Joo Wal having to *ahem* perform for the demon. Serves you right, woman killer!
Pretty much the most amazing episode of anything ever. I have already rewatched it twice.
I need ep 8 right NOW!
Ep 5 of FF is where I finally checked in. Anyone reading this LJ for any length of time knows I have absolutely zero interest in childhood scenes of any sort so, while I was watching the earlier eps to keep up with the story, I was pretty checked out. But now we have Joo Ji Hoon, Ji Chang Wook and Jin Se Yeon and I am verrrry interested.
FF reminds me a lot of Baker King (substitute pianos for pastries - I prefer the former as I love classical music, so this is a bonus), complete with Ji Chang Wook doing his best to steal the drama as the tormented, dark younger brother (he'd succeed too, if the 'good brother' was acted anyone but Joo Ji Hoon, who brings his trademark contained intensity and manages to make my heart stutter even with that crazy haircut).
Basically, I really like this drama. A lot!


With regards to the fact that a roof protects you from environmental elements such as rain, sun, and adverse temperatures, it is one of the essential aspects of a house. The adverse environmental conditions may cause the roof to be damaged through rusts hence resulting to leakages that may prove to be an inconvenience to you. Therefore, to be able to enjoy excellent roofing services you may need to consider a number of factors before hiring a roof repair company.
One of the main factors you may need to put into consideration when hiring a roof repair service is the cost of the entire roofing service. For you to budget in advance for the entire repair services, you may need to ask the roof repair company for the total cost which in turn ensures that you are well prepared when it comes to payment as there will be no misunderstandings. For you to avoid any misunderstandings when it comes to paying for the services received, you may need to inquire about the total cost of the roof repair then make a budget.Regarding the fact that most roofing companies have hidden charges, you may be caught unaware when it comes to payment hence the need to make all necessary inquiries concerning any additional costs with regards to the roof repair services.
Secondly, the other factor you should consider when hiring roof repair services is the reputation of the company offering the services. The type of services you will receive will depend solely on the reputation of the prospective roof repair company. To determine the prospective company's reputation, you can check its website which contains all the information you may need such as customers' feedback and reviews. A roof repair company that has negative reviews means that it may not be able to handle your project as it is unreliable hence the need to look for an alternative option.
Licensing of the leaking roof repairs Melbourne company is the other factor you should consider when hiring one. Hiring a roof repair company that is licensed ensures that you will not have to worry about being swindled .With regards to the fact that it is a compulsory requirement for all roofing companies to have a valid license, you will be able to avoid legal tussles by hiring a company that holds one.
Lastly, when hiring a roof repair company you may need to consider the quality of machines and materials used for the service. By ensuring that the prospective roof repair company's tools and equipment are in good condition and of high quality, you will be assured of a roof that will last longer. For that reason, I would advise that you put into consideration a number of factors as mentioned above if you would like to hire the services of a roof repair company and enjoy the best services.


Firefighters successfully battled to stop a large fire spreading to a nearby bungalow, telephone lines and electrical cables in Wisbech.
Two crews from Wisbech and Dogsthorpe were called to a fire in the open in Lord's Lane yesterday, Monday March 27.
About 50 square metres of wood and pallets were well alight in close proximity to a bungalow.
Firefighters used two hose reels to extinguish the fire and returned to their stations by 8.27pm.

Boss Dean Keates believes hard work will be the key to Walsall turning their form around.
The Saddlers travel to take on Blackpool tomorrow having claimed just one win from their six games in 2019.
Despite that poor run, Keates' men have endured a rotten run of luck in their last three defeats.
Scunthorpe, Plymouth and Rochdale all beat them by a 2-1 scoreline despite having just two shots on target. But while Keates feels his team has been unfortunate, he warned his players, in football, you have to earn your own luck.
"You look at Rochdale's first goal, the ball comes in, it ricochets off Andy Cook, it hits Joe Edwards bounces between them and Ethan Ebanks-Landell puts his foot through it and it's gone in the top corner," he said. "The second, a player has stepped out of position, the pitch has become split. That is where we are accountable and where we need to do better.
"But the kid has had a shot, it's gone through (Ian) Henderson's legs and Jon Guthrie's legs and gone in. It's fine margins. We just need a little bit of luck. We are joint top when it comes to hitting the post this season.
Walsall take on Blackpool tomorrow with Tangerine fans still at loggerheads with the club's owners.
Attendances have dropped 70 per cent over the last four years due to the way the Oyston family are running things at Bloomfield Road..
Despite that unrest, manager Terry McPhillips has guided the team up to eighth in League One.
And Keates believes the 50-year-old deserves credit for the job he's done.
"There are a lot of things going on off the field at the football club," Keates continued.
"But that is of no concern to us. Terry deserves a lot of credit.
"Under difficult circumstances, he has built a side that is organised and well drilled.
Meanwhile, Walsall's Andy Cook has missed out on the League One Player of the Month award.
Instead, the honour went to Luton striker James Collins.


The 3DS launched in 2011, and although it got off to a slow start, Nintendo's handheld has successfully built up an excellent library of first- and third-party titles. The company has stated that it has no intention of abandoning the 3DS despite the recent release of the Switch portable/console hybrid, and Nintendo of America recently confirmed that the system will get some special attention at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo.
In time for E3, we've picked out some of the best games available for the Nintendo 3DS, all of which can be yours for $20 or less. If you own this excellent little system or plan to get one, then now is a great time to cheaply score a few must-have titles that you may have missed.
Kicking off our list is a famous entry in The Legend of Zelda series and the title that brought the franchise into three dimensions. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a remastered version of the Nintendo 64 classic, boasting enhanced graphics that take full advantage of the stereoscopic 3D capability of the 3DS. Explore a beautiful open world on horseback and do battle with the evil Ganondorf in this must-have action-adventure epic, now just $18.50 from Amazon.
The original Luigi's Mansion for the Nintendo GameCube became something of a cult classic, and Mario's green-clad brother is back for another round of ghost-hunting in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Explore a variety spooky environments, collect coins, solve puzzles, and sweep up ghosts with Professor E. Gadd's Poltergust 5,000 vacuum cleaner. This charming adventure game is great for kids and adults alike and is available on Amazon for $20.
Animal Crossing is one of the most relaxing game franchises ever made, and the latest main entry in the series added some major new features. Animal Crossing: New Leaf keeps the classic formula of its predecessors, placing you in a small town where you can explore, make friends, head into town for some shopping, and furnish your house, but also offers all-new options for totally customizing your town. Pick up Animal Crossing: New Leaf for $20 from Target and plan to spend dozens of hours in this cozy life sim.
For a JRPG that offers hours and hours of deep gameplay and rich story-telling, look no further than Shin Megami Tensei IV. This game puts you in control of a warrior named Flynn as you pursue the enigmatic Black Samurai and unravel the mystery behind your homeland of Mikado. A deep turn-based battle system, hundreds of different demons for you to fight and recruit, and a non-linear player-driven story await you. The fifth entry in the Shin Megami Tensi series is now available for $20 from Amazon.
Another charming life sim, but one that is distinct from Animal Crossing, is Nintendo's Tomodachi Life. This game lets you create your own custom avatars, or "Miis," based on yourself and people you know. Each Mii develops its own personality and the different characters will interact, develop relationships, and engage in recreational activities on the in-game island where they live. Tomodachi Life should keep you busy for a long time and comes in at just $12.50 on Amazon.
Some people might be surprised to see the famous Mario brothers in a role-playing game, but the Mario RPG series has been going strong since its debut on the Super Nintendo. In Mario and Luigi Dream Team, Nintendo's iconic Italian plumber duo must battle Bowser's minions along with all-new enemies as they travel through Luigi's dreams. If the colorful art design and humorous dialogue don't reel you in, the addictive RPG gameplay will, and Mario & Luigi Dream Team can be had for $20 from Amazon.
