|Relaxing Games, Magic Games
I was actually pretty excited for Magic: Legends before it came out. The idea of mixing a dungeon crawler style of game with a deck building game was something that really did grab my attention. Add to this it being set in the Magic universe with a brand new story and it was something that appealed to me a great deal. Well, the game was released in beta form and it never caught on the way they had intended it to. Today I am sharing my thoughts on the game, both the good and bad!
Being A Planeswalker
There is a bit of a multi-dimensional story going on where you play as a Planeswalker. If you know what Magic is, you will know, but those coming to Magic: Legends with little understanding of the world of Magic, just know it is like you are a powerful spell caster!
This is a story that has a kind of multiverse thing going on where warriors need to band together to take on a big evil. I was excited to see this new story and while it is not bad, it is kind of average fantasy stuff that fails to leave an impression.
Playing With A Full Deck
If you were to watch a gameplay video of Magic: Legends, you would think that it is just another Diablo clone. You would be partially right. The game does look like a hack and slash style of game, but the big difference here is that it plays into the world of Magic The Gathering TCG. You can pick 12 cards to have in your deck at any one time. You are then given four of these cards at random as you play a stage. Apart from picking the initial 12, you have no idea what order you will be given these cards.
Chaos In Randomness
Some people who played Magic: Legends hated that they could not learn or develop a strategy due to the random nature of the attacks and abilities that they will be given at any one time. I actually liked this and thought it was a neat idea. Granted, rather than playing a specific kind of role, you do end up making sure that your deck is more balanced. However, I found it kept me on my toes and it is an idea that I think did show a great deal of promise.
I have to say that visually, Magic: Legends is not all that great. The cut scenes and the voice acting are both fantastic. However, during gameplay things take a big nosedive. I am not saying this is a terrible looking game. It just feels very uninspired, but the biggest annoyance is that when an explosion or some kind of magical effect happens, it takes up way too much of the screen and far too many attacks and abilities have some kind of graphical effect that gets annoying after about the third time you have seen it.
I have to say that Magic: Legends did not exactly go the way I wanted it to, but I do feel this game was nowhere near as bad as many people made out. I think that there were some very neat ideas in this game and I wished that it had worked out better for the people involved.
You can still play this, but it can be a bit of a pain in the butt. If you like the idea of the deck building combat though, I suggest you give it a look as it is something that I found a lot of fun.
- The deck building aspect was something I found interesting
- While basic, the story has some great voice acting
- I also thought the cut scenes were very well done
- They were so close to having something awesome with this game
- The game has some very annoying visual effects
- I get that the random nature of combat may not appeal to everyone

10 September 2022, UK: One of Britain’s pioneering farm AD plants is finding hybrid barley a useful dual-purpose option for either wholecrop or grain.
The farm business of Geo E Gittus and Sons, Symonds Farm near Bury St Edmunds, was one of the first in the country to install an anaerobic digestion (AD) plant, says farm manager, Steven Brummitt.
Ten years on, the 1.4 megawatt AD plant forms an integral part of farm operations, supplying green electricity not only to the farm but also to other local businesses, and with the digestate providing a valuable source of crop nutrition.
Steven says: “When the plant was first installed the wheat price was very poor. We also have outdoor pigs, and that was starting to become a difficult and unpredictable market, so AD was a way of diversifying.
“As well as supplying the farm, power from the plant supplies a business park owned by the farm, plus the Claas headquarters at Saxham. Anything extra goes to the national grid.”
Farming a total of 1,700 ha, a mixture of owned and contract-farmed land on mainly Hanslope clay soils with some medium loams, cropping comprises winter wheat, hybrid winter barley, spring barley, winter beans, forage maize and sugar beet.
Based on its potential to deliver high gas yields, forage maize provides the bulk of the feedstock for the AD plant, used at a rate of 70-72 tonnes of maize silage with 3 tonnes of chicken manure. But after trying various other feedstocks, including sugar beet pulp, sugar beet and forage rye, hybrid barley has become a useful buffer feedstock when needed, as an alternative to rye.
As well as providing a robust and competitive crop against the farm’s resistant black-grass population, Steven says hybrid barley provides flexibility to harvest for wholecrop, to top up the AD plant if maize stocks are low, or, as this year, to harvest it for grain if cereal prices are buoyant and maize stocks are high.
Up to 1,500 tonnes of hybrid barley wholecrop could be used in the AD plant with the farm’s 24,000 tonnes of maize silage per annum. Typically, hybrid barley yields 9 t/ha of grain when harvested mature on the farm or 30 t/ha fresh weight when harvested as wholecrop. A similar fresh weight yield is achieved with wholecrop rye, and 48 t/ha from the forage maize. Hybrid barley and rye for wholecrop are harvested at around 32-34% dry matter (DM).
Steven says: “The AD plant is fussy. It likes a set diet, just like a cow does. If you change the ration too much, the bugs in it get upset.
“We grow early-maturing maize varieties, aiming for a mid-September harvest ideally at 33-34% DM. If we have bad weather we could have issues achieving that, but in a normal year we generally harvest in good time.
“Sugar beet pulp also works in the plant, but the price has gone up. With sugar beet you have to wash and chop it before you put it in the plant and you can get stones in it, plus it has high growing costs.
“We can use forage rye but one year we had so much rye we had to combine some and put the grain in the AD plant because the market for grain was not there.
“We started growing hybrid barley six or seven years ago. Originally starting with Bazooka on small areas, we gradually grew more to replace the conventional winter barley, before going to all hybrid barley about three years ago. We now grow SY Thunderbolt and SY Kingsbarn. If we are short of maize feedstock we can forage it. If we have enough maize and the grain price is high we can combine it. It has taken the place of the rye.”
With maize silage stocks high this year following a good 2021 harvest, and barley grain prices well into the £200s, Steven says all 180 ha of this year’s hybrid barley were earmarked for grain harvest some time ago. But as well as end use flexibility, he says hybrid barley also has agronomic appeal.
“In spring it gets away quicker than the conventional, which helps it suppress the black-grass. I also like the fact that we can drill it a bit later to give us time to prepare better stale seedbeds.
“We were drilling conventional barley around 20 September. With hybrid barley, although the first week of October is my preference, we have drilled it into the third week of October. It also seems to withstand the wetter winters better.”
Barley’s early grain harvest also provides an early entry for winter oilseed rape, says Steven, which is sometimes grown on the farm. “If the barley is being followed by winter oilseed rape we generally bale the straw. Otherwise we chop it to put the P and K back. All our P and K for cereals comes from manures, and maize removes a lot of P and K, so we want to put it back in the soil.”
Management-wise, Steven has found growing hybrid barley to be generally no different to conventional winter barley. Three splits of nitrogen are applied. He has found the first one applied in early February is key.
All crops on the farm also receive nutrients from the digestate, with solid digestate spread pre-cultivation in autumn and liquid applied in the spring. Combined together, these applications supply 15-20 kg N/ha, Steven reckons, allowing bagged N on the hybrid barley to be reduced down to about 180 kg/ha, the same total N also being previously applied to the hybrid rye.
“We are always looking at new crop options for the AD plant but currently we are happy. Hybrid barley fills a gap if we need it,” he says.

Two governors announced steps Monday designed to keep a new, highly contagious strain of COVID-19 from being brought to their states or spreading within them.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said British Airways, Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic agreed to test travelers from the United Kingdom forbefore they board flights for New York. He requested the moves since the virus variant has been infecting people in the U.K.
And Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced new travel restrictions for people arriving from the U.K. and South Africa, where the new strain has also been circulating.
Inslee said he was issuing a proclamation requiring passengers who arrive from the United Kingdom and South Africa to quarantine for 14 days, including passengers who have arrived from those countries in the past few days. It also encourages those people to get tested for the virus.
The quarantine is mandatory and although it's legally enforceable, Inslee said no one will be taken into custody over it.
At least 40 countries have taken, closing borders, cutting off trade routes and restricting travel, resulting in chaotic scenes at airports and on the roads.
On Monday night, Cuomo called for a federal policy to try to keep the mutated strain from being brought to New York from other states, reports CBS New York.
"Yes, the people who now fly into New York will be negative, but we'll have flights into Chicago, we'll have flights into other parts of the country, and then those people can get on flights and come back to New York or infect other states. And this whole notion that any one state can protect itself was foolish from the beginning," Cuomo said.
Earlier in the day, the governor sounded the alarm.
"This is a major problem. And for us to once again be incompetent as a federal government and take no action is just not a viable option for us in New York," Cuomo said.
Cuomo added that he believes the new strain of the virus is already in New York, but he's hoping new travel restrictions would prevent another outbreak like what New York experienced in the spring, when the virus entered the state from Europe without any warning.

You did it! You finally baked a cake, and all you need to do to complete the dessert is to decorate the cake with a delectable frosting. But the frosting you just made isn’t fluffy, it’s not light, and it’s not very smooth. What could you have done wrong?
There are a number of things that could go wrong when you make frosting, but here are three of the most common mistakes new bakers make when making frosting for the first time:
1 Your butter isn’t soft enough.
Butter is one of the two main ingredients of an American frosting so it’s important that butter should always be used after it has softened. Check the butter: you should be able to firmly press a finger into the butter without digging too much into the block. If you can’t firmly press into the butter, let it soften for another 15 minutes before checking again.
This is an important step in baking. Not only will softened butter whip up better, it is also easier to incorporate other ingredients into lightened and softened butter. You may use butter that is not soft enough and beat it until it’s light and fluffy but this process will take longer than if you allowed the butter to soften to the right temperature.
2 Your butter is too soft.
If the butter is too soft, you’ll notice that the butter will start to melt. Room temperature may be too warm, so when softening butter, check the butter after 30 minutes after it’s been taken out of the refrigerator.
Using butter that has become too soft or is almost melted that it looks curdled (also known as a broken frosting) will mean a frosting that is too soft to spread onto a cake layer or to hold a cake layer in place before the second layer is placed on top. You can easily fix this by placing the butter (or the frosting if you’ve made it already) back into the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to help the melted butter firm up again. Whip up the frosting and check that it has a smooth and light consistency before using.
3 You used too much powdered sugar.
The butter isn’t the only culprit when it comes to a frosting that isn’t quite right. Powdered sugar is the other main ingredient in frosting. It’s what makes it sweet and contributes to the consistency of the frosting, but too often, the measurement of the powdered sugar is off. While it’s okay to add less than powdered sugar, it’s another thing to add too much powdered sugar.
Too much powdered sugar will result in a frosting that’s stiff and not too smooth. What to do: add a little fresh milk, as little as tablespoon to as much as 1/4 cup, to help loosen and soften the frosting. If after adding the milk, the frosting is still too stiff, add softened butter, a tablespoon at a time and whisking until completely incorporated before adding the next tablespoonful. This will help even out the butter and powdered sugar ratio to normal again.
Practice makes perfect, and this is definitely how to develop more confidence in your baking skills. With more practice in making cake frostings to the right and desired consistency, only then can you make it the way you like it.

Article from the website messagetoeagle.com.
MessageToEagle.com - Scientists are trying to solve an intriguing ancient mystery that could shed more light on the identity of beings that walked the Earth several thousands of years ago.
World's oldest human DNA, containing evidence of an unknown species, has been recovered from a 400,000-year-old thigh bone.
According to anthropologists, studying this DNA from human ancestors that are hundreds of thousands of years old shows a complex pattern of evolution in the origin of Neanderthals and modern humans.

3. Luminous 1.5kVA / 24V Solar Inverter

If you are looking for an inexpensive and entry-level model, it is one of the finest solar inverters. However, it is a decent investment for those who want to save on energy bills and move a step closer to a consistent yet low budget supply of electricity.
This inverter only needs a one-time investment (and maybe an installation fee) that is barely above NGN 50,000.
AC and DC performance, intelligent fuzzy logic charging technology, and overload, deep discharge, short-circuit, and low battery safety are provided by the Luminous 850VA solar inverter. Click to see the latest price in Konga.

However, if you buy a more inexpensive modified sinewave solar inverter for a recreational vehicle (RV), it could be everything you need. Only hook it up with the solar panels of your RV and you’re all right to go.
There are so many solar inverters out there and you will certainly find one that will suit your needs, no matter how much your budget is, or how big / small your power requirements are.

Hajj package cost rises by over a quarter
A Bangladeshi pilgrim will have to spend Tk 6.83 lakh to perform hajj this year under government management, up by around Tk 1.61 lakh on the previous year.
Hajj under private management will cost a pilgrim a minimum of Tk 6.57 lakh this year, around Tk 1.36 lakh more than in 2022.
This was decided in a meeting of the executive committee on hajj management at the secretariat yesterday, with State Minister for Religious Affairs Md Faridul Haque Khan in the chair.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, the state minister said the government announced two hajj packages of Tk 5,86,340 and Tk 5,21,150 last year, but the number of packages has come down to one this year.
The Hajj Agencies Association of Bangladesh (Haab), a platform of private hajj tour operators, would formally declare its hajj package rates at a press conference at a city hotel today, Haab President M Shahadat Hossain Taslim, told The Daily Star.
He said the private agencies will fix their package rates in conformity with those of the government's.
About the rise in the hajj package rates, the state minister said one Saudi Riyal is being sold for Tk 30 this year against last year's Tk 21.
Faridul said the government has fixed this year's plane fare at Tk 197,797 as the ticket price has gone up due to the global economic crisis.
Last year, the plane fare was Tk 1.40 lakh.
Like the previous year, three airlines -- Biman Bangladesh Airlines, Saudia Airlines and Flynas -- will carry the hajj pilgrims this year.
The hajj is likely to be held on June 27, subject to sighting of the moon.
The government on January 9 signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia on hajj. According to the deal, 15,000 Bangladeshis will perform hajj this year under government management while 1,12,198 under private management.
Biman will carry 50 percent passengers while the two Saudi carriers will transport the rest of the pilgrims.
The Saudi government has lifted the age limit for hajj pilgrims this year, paving the way for people over 65 to go for the pilgrimage.
According to the "Route to Makkah Initiative" deal, all Bangladeshi hajj pilgrims who would fly from Dhaka will complete their pre-arrival immigration in Dhaka.
Depending on the Covid situation, the Saudi authorities can take a decision on the number of the pilgrims.
In 2022, a total of 57,585 Bangladeshis performed hajj. The figure was around 1.27 lakh in 2019.
Due to the pandemic, the largest annual Muslim congregation was held on a limited scale in the last two years.

A landmark decision to determine the future of Brookhaven’s parks for the next 30 years happens Nov. 6 when voters cast their ballots on a proposed $40 million parks bond.
Signs popping up in yards, a protest paper being thrown on lawns, an “education” booth at an arts festival and an anti-bond website — all those voices and more are joining the debate on the crucial vote.
Joseph Knippenberg, a professor of politics at Oglethorpe University who is a longtime Brookhaven resident, says the bond vote shows the city’s “ambition” and is a test for its leadership.
“Brookhaven … wants to make a name for itself,” he said, and funding state-of-the-art parks is one way to set the city apart from others in metro Atlanta.
Knippenberg said a defeat of the referendum would not damage what attracts people to the city — primarily its location and amenities — but it would send a “big vote of no-confidence in city leadership.”
“It would certainly be a blow to the civic leadership and government and there would need to be serious repair work,” he said. “And it would make the city think twice about taking on any big initiatives in the future.”
If approved, the parks bond would fund several parks master plan projects: Ashford Park, $1.94 million; Blackburn Park, $1.3 million; Briarwood Park, $7 million; Brookhaven Park, $6 million; Lynwood Park, $11 million; Murphey Candler Park, $8.98 million.; and systemwide funding for security, maintenance and invasive plant removal, among other things, $3.47 million.
As Election Day nears, the players in the campaign are rushing to get their message out. They include a well-funded pro-parks bond group headed up by a former mayor and former interim city manager; opposition bubbling up from a handful of parks advocates; and a city-led parks “education” blitz. (Cities are prohibited from attempting to influence an election and cannot directly advocate for ballot questions.)
Four of the five members of the Parks and Recreation Coalition of Brookhaven who served on an ad hoc “funding task force” that helped create the proposed $40 million parks bond are now opposing it.
They decided to reverse their previous neutral stance in response to the Yes for Brookhaven Parks group headed up by former mayor Rebecca Chase Williams and former interim city manager J.D. Clockadale.
“PARC of Brookhaven has determined that it is imperative to change our position from neutral information source to advocate for a ‘no’ vote on the upcoming potential bond,” PARC Chair Sue Binkert said in an Oct. 16 statement.
Williams said she was “surprised and saddened” to hear some PARC of Brookhaven members are now publicly opposing the parks bond.
“But I respect their opinion. They have been in the trenches a long time,” she said.
The four members are Binkert, Terrell Carstens, Greg Trinkle and Steve Peters. The fifth member of the funding task force declined to take a public stance, Peters said.
Carstens represents Clack’s Corner and Briarwood Park. Trinkle is president of the Briarwood Park Conservancy. Peters is volunteer coordinator of the Murphey Candler Park Conservancy.
Peters explained the public PARC opposition was coming from just the four from the task force and no vote was taken of the wider coalition. He added his own conservancy, the Murphey Candler Park Conservancy, is supporting the parks bond.
Two recent editions of the free community paper “a: Times News” label the parks bond the “Brookhaven Bamboozle” and warns that passage of the bond means to “give into the control of our Brookhaven government.”
A writer of one story in the paper attacks the city’s decision to include a “lazy river” at Lynwood Park — described as a “magical mote [sic].”
Included in the proposed $11 million for Lynwood Park is a $3.25 million lap pool and “lazy river.” A lazy river is a shallow pool that flows like a river in a loop. The PARC members oppose the addition of the “lazy river” because it was not part of the parks master plan approved two years ago.
A city spokesperson said when consultant GreenbergFarrow began designing Lynwood Park following the public master plan process, they realized not all the approved amenities, like the basketball and tennis courts, could be added while also preserving historic and heritage structures. The lazy river was added as a “compromise to remain in the spirit of the master plan,” the spokesperson said.
The city is not allowed to advocate for the parks bond, but it can educate. That includes Parks and Recreation Director Brian Borden working the city’s booth at the recent Brookhaven Arts Festival, answering questions of passersby and handing out packets of information.
The booth was packed with illustrated posters of new playgrounds, open fields, new pavilions and more that would be paid for by the parks bond — if it is approved —Borden explained to visitors.
The city is not shying away from saying there will be no money for parks unless the parks bond is approved. City officials say the elimination this year of the homestead option sales after DeKalb voters approved the special local option sales tax erased their only source for parks capital projects. No money for parks is currently budgeted in the city’s proposed $47.5 million budget for next year.
“These are sort of diverging concerns,” Steve Chapman, the assistant city manager and chief financial officer, said in February when public talks began about a parks bond. “Do [residents] want parks or do they want low taxes? By financing the parks, the people who are getting the benefit of the parks will be those paying for it.”
SPLOST, HOST funding
The backdrop to the debate is major changes to the way capital projects in city parks are currently funded. A sales tax known as HOST that was the city’s main park funding source was eliminated this year after DeKalb voters last year approved the SPLOST. And a DeKalb County bond that funded the parks prior to the city’s 2012 incorporation is expiring in two years.
The parks bond would raise the city’s 2.74 millage rate by half a mill, or an average of $98.34 a year to the homeowner with a home assessed at about $466,000, according to city officials. The millage rate is used to determine local taxes and is the amount taxpayers pay per $1,000 of assessed value.
The total estimated cost to complete the city’s entire parks master plans is $80 million. The funding task force supported a parks bond — but in the smaller amount of $26.5 million — to complete the master plans for Ashford, Briarwood and Brookhaven parks and part of Murphey Candler Park.
But city officials boosted the final proposal to $40 million. That includes an additional $11 million for Lynwood Park, $2.5 million to hire a professional project management firm and $1 million to dredge Murphey Candler Park lake.
Peters said the funding task force agreed to support a $26.5 million bond referendum because the tax increase was essentially a “one-for-one” replacement of the DeKalb parks bond, which rolls off property tax bills in 2021.
General obligation bonds are backed by the credit and taxing power of the city to pay off the bonds and opponents fear the city could someday find itself in trouble and not be able to pay its bonds.
“They [the city] need to remove the obligation off the homeowners,” Peters said.
Supporters say homeowners’ overall tax bills won’t go up due to other taxation changes this year. The city millage increase would be offset by this year’s new equalized homestead option sales tax. The EHOST freezes property values and dedicates 100 percent of its revenue to reduce property taxes for qualified homeowners, according to DeKalb officials.
And in 2021 when a DeKalb County parks bond expires and rolls off property taxes for Brookhaven homeowners, city officials are estimating an overall savings of about $514 for homeowners with $466,000 homes.
Supporters also argue the city’s recent triple-A credit rating from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s indicates that the city is in strong financial shape and is fiscally responsible enough to be able to pay off the bonds.
“The city has done this in a fiscally responsible way,” Williams said.
Brookhaven expects to receive $47 million in SPLOST revenue over the next six years, but the money supporting the SPLOST limits spending the sales tax revenue to only transportation, public safety and a small amount for maintenance of existing capital projects.
Councilmember Bates Mattison, who cast the lone “no” vote to putting the bond on the ballot, earlier this year voiced his dismay that the SPLOST funding could not go to parks. City leaders are hoping in six years when the SPLOST may be renewed that it will include funding for parks.
State Sen. Fran Millar (R-Dunwoody), author of the SPLOST legislation, said in an interview he purposely restricted capital projects from the legislation because he did not want DeKalb County to build a government complex on Memorial Drive.

Dr Gary Lichtenstein and colleagues from Pennsylvania, USA assessed potential associations between malignancy and antitumor necrosis factor therapy in patients with Crohn's disease (CD), as this relationship is currently poorly defined.
Utilizing data from the Crohn's Therapy, Resource, Evaluation, and Assessment Tool (TREAT™) Registry, a prospective cohort study examining long-term outcomes of CD treatments in community and academic settings, infl uences of baseline patient/disease characteristics and medications were assessed by survival analysis and multivariate models.
Standardized incidence ratios and exact 95 % confi dence intervals were determined as the ratio of events observed vs expected.
|Smoking was independently associated with the risk of malignancy|
|American Journal of Gastroenterology|
The team enrolled 6,273 CD patients followed between 5 and 8 years, for all/currently active patients.
The team noted that crude cancer incidences were similar between infliximab- and other-treatments-only-exposed patients.
The research team demonstrated that baseline age, disease duration, and smoking but neither immunosuppressive therapy alone, infliximab therapy alone, nor their combination were independently associated with the risk of malignancy.
When compared with the general population, no significant increase in incidence was observed in any malignancy category.
In an exposure-based analysis, use of immunosuppressants alone or in combination with infliximab seemed to be associated with a numerically, but not significantly, greater risk of malignancy than did treatment with infliximab alone relative to treatment with neither.
Dr Lichtenstein and team conclude, "In the TREAT Registry, age, disease duration, and smoking were independently associated with increased risk of malignancy."
"Although results for immunosuppressant use were equivocal, no significant association between malignancy and infliximab was observed."

AUSTRALIA'S diplomatic mission to the US city of Atlanta is closing.
The Austrade-managed consulate-general is to close permanently at the end of August.
The move means Australia's embassy in Washington DC will now have responsibility for much of the American south including the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and the Carolinas.
Austrade says the closure is part of a comprehensive realignment in which it is shifting resources to growing and emerging markets like Mongolia and Colombia.
Three staff will be affected by the closure, including Consul-General Duncan Cole.
"Austrade will maintain its services in the US through offices in New York, Washington, San Francisco and Chicago, where the organisation believes it can deliver the most value, education promotion and investment attraction," a spokesman for Trade Minister Craig Emerson said.
Australia has one of the smallest diplomatic footprints of all developed nations, with less than 100 missions in 77 of the 193 United Nations-recognised countries.

Dirty Three is an instrumental rock band, formed in 1993, in Melbourne, Australia by Warren Ellis (violin), Mick Turner (electric guitar), and Jim White (drums). Though each of the musicians has remained dedicated to the band since its inception almost fifteen years ago, Warren, Mick and Jim have contributed their respective talents to a multitude of artists over the years.
Their music has elements of folk melody, rock energy, and 20th century classical music. Their early albums offered many aggressive, ferociously emotional songs, but since their fourth album, Ocean Songs, Dirty Three have gradually shifted their focus towards a slower, arguably more melancholic, style of playing.

Incarcerated and charged with murder, David Aames Jr. is telling the story of how he got to where he is to McCabe, the police psychologist. That story includes: being the 51% shareholder of a major publishing firm, which he inherited from his long deceased parents; the firm's board, appointed by David Aames Sr., being the 49% shareholders who would probably like to see him gone as they see him as being too irresponsible and immature to run the company; his best bro friendship with author, Brian Shelby; his "friends with benefits" relationship with Julie Gianni, who saw their relationship in a slightly different light; his budding romance with Sofia Serrano, who Brian brought to David's party as his own date and who Brian saw as his own possible life mate; and being in an accident which disfigured his face and killed the person who caused the accident. But as the story proceeds, David isn't sure what is real and what is a dream/nightmare as many facets of the story are incompatible to ...Written by
When David goes to see Sofia for the first time after the accident, her ponytail is hanging in front of her shoulder. In the very next shot, it's hanging down her back. See more »

There are no opening credits for the film. See more »
Three parts from the quick montage at the end of the film suggest scenes cut from the final film: two frames from a scene that was in "Abre Los Ojos" (upon which "Vanilla Sky" was based) where David shoots a police officer in front of the L.E. building, a frame of David and Sofia on a bed where Sofia is wearing a bathrobe (she never wore a bathrobe in the film), and a frame set in David's company where David is a kid, sitting on a couch, and a man (possibly Thomas Tipp) is talking to him).

The movie is all about a pop culture addict not aware of the consequences he is going to face after hurting his girlfriend.As he says in the movie its always the small things that changes your life in a big way.The movie gives a clear picture about how dream works and our subconscious mind.David has an inferior feeling about his looks that literally drives Sophia away. He believes it is because of his face.The movie actually takes a turn as a brain teaser,post accident, not explaining things very clearly just like a weird dream. The ending could have been much better as it gives only a glimpse of what actually happened.It took the movie to where it started leaving many questions unanswered.Anyway it is worth a watch....

Independent RIAs are seeing a boost to their new client roster as former full brokerage clients become increasingly distrustful of their previous firm. More than 90 percent of independent RIAs say they have won new clients in the past six months, according to Charles Schwab, which released findings from its latest semi-annual Independent Advisor Outlook Study yesterday.
According to the survey, 45 percent of shifting clients came from the full service brokerage industry and 25 percent were do-it-yourself investors. Almost 70 percent of those switching from a previous firm say it’s because they don’t have the trust they used to. Sixty-four percent are seeking more personal advice.

Prospects remain uncertain for a bill that would regulate industrial hemp if the crop ever makes a comeback in Kentucky.
The House Agriculture and Small Business Committee heard nearly two hours of testimony but took no vote on the bill Wednesday morning in Frankfort. A motion calling for a vote on the bill was ruled out of order by committee chairman Tom McKee.
McKee is pushing to rewrite the bill to have a university study of hemp, which thrived in Kentucky decades ago but is now illegal. The bill, which would allow hemp to be grown in the state if a federal ban is lifted, had easily passed the Senate.
McKee says he plans to reconvene the committee later Wednesday to review the legislation.
The Kentucky House budget committee has advanced a bill designed to provide extra revenues for the state's underfunded pension systems.
House Bill 416 would use revenues from the expansion of Instant Racing if the state Supreme Court upholds the legality of the game. It will also use expanded lottery sales and the proceeds from a new Keno game.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo says the bill does not ask lawmakers to legalize Instant Racing.
"We're simply saying if it is upheld, here is a fund that captures this money that's used to pay off this unfunded liability in our pension fund. So we're not asking you to vote to expand gaming," said Stumbo.
The founder and CEO of a hemp foods company will appear Wednesday morning in Frankfort to speak on behalf of an industrial hemp bill. The measure—which has passed the Kentucky Senate—would set up a regulatory framework should federal laws criminalizing hemp be changed.
The House Agriculture and Small Business Committee will hear from Agriculture Commissioner James Comer and John Roulac, CEO of Nutiva, the fastest growing hemp foods company in the U.S.
Despite Republican support for the hemp bill, there appears to be too much Democratic opposition to the measure for it to pass this legislative session. Both Governor Steve Beshear and House Speaker Greg Stumbo have said they are siding with Kentucky law enforcement groups that say legalizing hemp will make it too difficult to distinguish between the crop and marijuana.
Kentucky's persistently low-achieving schools would be able to become charter schools to improve performance and test scores under a bill discussed Tuesday in the state Senate Education Committee.
The bill adds charters as a fifth option for what the state now calls "priority schools—schools that persistently get low scores. The current options include re-staffing of teachers, firing the principal, giving the school up to outside management or closing the schools.
Kentucky is one of seven states that doesn't allow for some sort of charter school—public schools that are generally governed independently from local school boards and given flexibility in teaching methods. Past efforts which would have opened charters to schools that weren't persistently low-performing have failed to pass through the General Assembly.
This legislation, Senate Bill 176, offers a different path, because only those schools who qualify as low-achieving could apply for charter status to their local school board.
The state Senate on Monday overwhelmingly passed a nullification bill that would prohibit Kentucky from enforcing new federal gun control laws if they're enacted, despite concerns about the bill's constitutionality.
The vote was 34-3. Three of the Senate's 14 Democrats voted no, stating that the measure would be trumped by the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause.
Sen. Jared Carpenter, a Berea Republican, sponsored the bill. He said the Supremacy Clause applies only if Congress is acting in pursuit of its constitutionally authorized powers, which he said wouldn't apply to stricter gun measures.
"If I thought the bill would be symbolic, I would've written a resolution," Carpenter told the Associated Press. "I thought it needed more than that."
Lawmakers won't pursue a 6 percent tax on lottery tickets as a source of revenue to shore up Kentucky's financially troubled pension system for government retirees.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo said that idea was rejected out of concern that a tax might stifle sales of lottery tickets that generate money for education programs in Kentucky.
Instead, Stumbo said lawmakers will unveil legislation on Tuesday that will call for the lottery to create new games, including Keno, that he said could generate about $25 million for the pension system.
He said the legislation would also call for tax revenue from slot-like machines, called Instant Racing machines, at horse tracks to be designated for pensions. He said that could eventually net $100 million a year for pensions.
A bill addressing problems with last year's prescription pill mill bill has cleared the Kentucky House Judiciary Committee.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo is sponsoring the bill, which reduces some tough regulations that followed the pill mill bill. The legislation, House Bill 217, requires hospitals and long term care facilities to still pull KASPER reports, but lessens other regulations on them. The Kentucky All Schedule Prescription Electronic Reporting System (KASPER) tracks controlled substance prescriptions dispensed within the state.
Stumbo told lawmakers that the bill would help codify easier regulations that were recently published and that the effort to crackdown on prescription pill abuse was effective.
"But you have a reason to be proud if you supported that bill because it's working. It's working from Pikeville to Paducah," he says.
A majority of Kentuckians favor amending the state constitution to allow convicted felons to regain their right to vote once they’ve completed their sentences. A new Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll found that 51 percent are in favor of the move, while 38 percent oppose it.
Kentucky is one of five states that bar all felons from the polls unless their voting rights are restored by a pardon by the Governor or another state agency.
Thirty-six states automatically restore the voting rights of ex-felons. Bills have been introduced in the Kentucky House for six years that would put a constitutional amendment on the ballot restoring ex-felons’ voting rights, but those efforts have always fallen short in the state Senate. Last week such a bill passed in the House on a vote of 75 to 25.
A bill moving Medicaid late payment claims to the Department of Insurance appears to have some support in the state Senate.
House Bill 5 would take prompt pay issues with the Medicaid managed care system and put it through the Insurance Department's current claims process. Currently, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services deal with late claims.
Sen. Julie Denton, chair of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, said she plans to give the bill a hearing and supports the bill's attempts to make managed care organizations pay providers.
"I think anything we can do to have more oversight and more assistance in keeping them in compliance with their contracts is a welcome breath of fresh air," she said.
