The use of partitioning of HDD's (Hard Disk Drives) is a hold-over from decades ago, when the OS's could not see large HDD's. This is now not a problem, up to 2TB.
Partitioning basically tells the OS that one has more physical HDD's, than are actually available. The OS will now call for read/writes simultaneously, not realizing that it's dealing with only one physical HDD. One of the first laws of physics is that an object cannot be in two places at the same time. In this case, it is the heads over different places on the platters at the same time. The OS expects this, and gets very confused, when there is a big hold up.
Partitions slow down the transfer of data and by a very large amount. They also cause much more wear and tear on a HDD, leading to premature failure. Because the data is spread much more with partitions, than if it had been written to a defragmented single HDD, even just the process of moving the heads is amplified - they must now travel over much larger distances, than without the partitions. This also leads to increased heat production, affecting everything in the case.
Especially with video editing, one wants to spread out the HDD workload (the work of the I/O subsystem) as much as is possible, and this spread needs to be over physical HDD's and not logical HDD's. That is why having more than one physical (very important) HDD is highly recommended. Two physical HDD's is a start, three is better, and four would be excellent. This allows one to spread the workload over multiple HDD's, increasing usable throughput.
The only reasons in this day and age, to use partitions, would be for system backup, or dual-boot setups. In the first, one would have a tiny partition holding an image of the OS, but this would not be accessed during normal work. The same would be for a dual-boot system, as one would have the programs installed on each partition for their respective OS's. Both partitions would not be accessed at the same time.
Partitions are best done away with, especially if one wishes to have good I/O performance, longer HDD life, and a cooler case.
Well stated Bill. I second this.
I would like to summarize your statements in two major statements:
Partitioning does...
1. NOT increase performance and
2. DOES increase wear and tear, reducing disk life.
Thanks, as always,
Another possible issue with partitioned HDD's is that both logical HDD's (the partitions) will have the same drive S/N, and this can confuse many programs. This Adobe KB Article gives a bit more background.
Thanks for all that info, most of which I'm familiar with. Though, I've never heard of people trying to split the workload between different drives. While I agree it causes more platter damage when using one HDD, the speed increases would be microseconds if the drives aren't all high RPM or solid state. It sounds like a RAID setup may even be beneficial. The issue I have is when you run 3-4 HDDs your power supply will need to be a 1000 watt to keep up, especially with a dedicated video card. Which means my electricity bill goes up $10/month haha. My mother board won't even support this many SATA connections so I have to rethink a lot before I plan how to upgrade the old puter. A new MB is probably in order. Thanks everyone. More to think about!!
You are correct about needing an adequately sized PSU. That is often a weak link, when one takes a regurlar home computer and then adapts it to do video editing. The PSU's on those are usually sized to power one HDD, one multi-drive and a low-performing GPU.
What can often happen is that one will start getting BSOD shut downs, as the minimal PSU fails at some level. PSU issues are probably just behind heat build-up and bad RAM, as a cause of a BSOD on the hardware side of things.
As for the bottleneck where one has a single, partitioned HDD, is that the OS and the program can time out, waiting for the heads to move all over the platters. The OS sees the partitions as physical HDD's, so issues commands, expecting a certain latency in response, but when that expected timing is exceeded by 10x to 100x, the OS sees it as "Not Responding." Though relatively short by human timing standards, just a few extra milliseconds can be a big problem in computer timing.
Good luck, and yes, the power bills WILL go up.
hi Bill and all.
Can anyone help me to reconnect my partitioned laptop without losing my CS5 which is installed on it.
I am using a a 64 bit Dell Studio 1558 w/an i7 1.8gGhz processor and 8Gigs of ram, Windows 7 Home Premium. It was partitioned by a Dell technitian duding the installment of the OS. CLearly this was a mistake because I am having issues re saving files, so am considering to reconnect the partitions, I do NOT have any documentation to do with partitioning software (re: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404560.html) and I am concerned that reconnecting the partition may erase or damage CS5.
Now, if that partition was done to provide you with a system recovery, then it will be quite small, and will also not be in use, when editing. It is just a small area, containing that recovery volume. If that is the case, I would leave it. Several computer mfgrs. do this, rather than provide a recovery DVD.
As for a safe method of altering partitioning, I once used Partition Magic. Back then, it was a stand-alone program, and worked very well. I never experienced any issue with it. However, since I last used it, it was acquired by Norton/Symantec. I have zero experience with the Norton/Symantec version, and cannot even comment whether it is still being offered. Perhaps others can recommend either it, or an alternative. I have not needed to remove a partition in many years, so just do not know what is currently available.
I would post to the Hardware Forum, as there are many IT folk, who frequent that forum, and will know what is current, and what works well.
Good luck, and wish that I had more to offer here.
Message 3 in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286 says that removing a partition cured a crashing problem
Though written for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, this article on optimizing HDD's provides a lot of useful info:

Creative, polite, and prompt! – Hello from Pennsylvania! Today I talked long distance to a young man at Blumz, asking him to deliver flowers to my daughter-in-law at the DIA. He was so nice, and apparently put together a beautiful arrangement with just the kinds of flowers I asked for, using his "creativity" just as I had asked him to do. And it was delivered almost immediately! She was so thrilled. Thank you so much – I will tell everyone I know how marvelous Blumz by JR Designs is!

Welcome Message from Assistant Chancellor and Dean of Students, Paula Knudson, Ph.D.
Hello, Hola, Ciao, Hallo こんにちは, [هلّو, Hälsningar UW-L Students:
Welcome to the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse! I was asked
by our wonderful new student welcome team to share a few
thoughts with you as you enter this incredible University. Well,
I've seldom known a dean who when given a chance to talk doesn't
enjoy taking advantage of the opportunity.
UW-L has received many positive rankings through a variety of sources. We're proud of these ratings, yet I don't think this represents the heart and uniqueness of the UW-L campus. Many on our campus call it the UW-L feel or UW-L Way. This UW-L Way stems from our incredible student involvement. We have over 175 registered and active student clubs and organizations. Our campus is engaged in the residence halls, is one of the only fully staffed student governments, has approximately 500 student athletes, as well as 508 intramural teams with 3,529 participants, and approximately 100,000 participants using our Recreation Center every semester. There truly is something for everyone here.
I have also watched our student leadership advocate for various diversity and social justice related issues. Although we live in a pretty homogenous location, we have and increasingly try to provide a diverse and global environment. Last year we had 406 students from 35 countries and are anticipating 42 countries represented on campus this fall. Last year we also had 434 students studying off-campus both internationally and domestically through the National Student Exchange Program and cover the globe with programs on every continent, with the exception of Antarctica. UW-L students are becoming active Global Citizens through international exposure, both on campus as well as beyond Wisconsin's borders. Our students and campus truly do value diversity and multiculturalism so it is with pride and respect that I welcome you to this community.
What I haven't told you is that I too am relatively new to UWL and the La Crosse area. So I've been reminded of the steep learning curve and mixed emotions that go along with being the new kid on the block. Over the last few years, I've been reliving the excitement of a new beginning - the excitement of meeting new people, finding my way, and learning new things. I've also been reliving the anxiety of a new beginning – meeting new people, finding my way, and learning new things.
So I'd like to share with you what I've learned in my first few years of joining the UWL community that might help you on your journey:
1) This is a friendly environment. People are eager to help and want new folks to be successful. However, it still takes personal initiative. My suggestion is to routinely extend your hand and say hello – give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed at the positive responses you'll receive.
2) Recognize you're not alone. Sometimes the best thing to do is to help your neighbor. This not only helps your neighbor, but also serves to help you make connections and feel better about your experience.
3) They say no question is a silly question. Well, I have to tell you I know I've asked a couple of silly questions. But my point is that we still need to ask! I know most of us work for many years toward independence, but I'd suggest that your true goal should be interdependence - so ask.
Finally, I want you to have a great year and hope that you take advantage of the many resources and opportunities that await you.
Paula M. Knudson, Ph.D.
Vice Chancellor & Dean of Students

Great place for sushi drinks and dancing. Saturdays are Level13 at rue 13 and features local and national EDM Djs. Level13 also features and amazing sound system, 3 level dance floor, light and laser show. We pride ourselves on great service at the bars with a fun atmosphere. Check out the fantastic lounge area in the back of the club!
Overpriced, will not give you water! – Last night I paid cover and bought two overpriced drinks and then went out dancing. It was so hot and stuffy that I got really thirsty. They refused to give me water! They said I had to buy a bottle for $2. I tried to reason with them, but they were pretty rude. I have never heard of a bar not giving someone water when requested. Bartender said that 7-11 did not have to give me water either ????? So weird, and such a bad policy considering how much I had already spent there and how hot it was. I will never go back. I refuse to spend another dollar there on principle. I ended up leaving, getting a cup of water from my car and walking back in with it.
After that I was mad at them, but trying to have fun for my friends' sake. Still I told the Rue 13 photographer that I did not want to be in their promotional photos, but they took pictures of me anyway.
Finally, my tights ripped because they snagged on splinters when I walked by their stage area.
Cheap quality, overpriced, bad service. Do not recommend!
They rip off everyone so watch your wallet. – Just a warning from someone who has been constantly ripped off, they double charge everyone then never answer the phone when you call to complain. Last year I bought one beer and one shot then checked my statement and they charged me $35!!!!! I called and called and got no response but didn't file fraud since some friends of mine worked there. I went back for the first time last week and the same bartender who thinks he is something because he used to sing in a band, charged me double. I refused to pay for the drinks I didn't order, and he not only threw the tab at me, he called me a cheap c*nt. If you like being charged double and paying cover to dance with fat old people that are dressed like romy and michelle then go there. There are so many better places with the same scene I recommend going elsewhere.
psycho bartender – there are great things about Rue, the sushi is really good and the bar tender Dave has his business down to a science. There are many nice and helpful staff at Rue but that won't keep you from getting yelled at. The guy with med. length curly hair is completely nuts and kept my card til after close to argue about my tab. I told him "I'm not in a hurry" after 45 MINUTES to try to order a round. I would have spent at least another $30.00 and added a 100% tip to my tab, but no one would even look at me. Last call came around and I still didn't get a round so I tried to close my tab and after getting yelled at, I said that I wasn't in a hurry and apparently curly haired guy heard me wrong & began yelling at everyone in the bar. Screaming about a bar tab is stupid because he didn't know what would have been spent had I been able to order. Plus, don't argue with your customer because they know 100 people they will tell about their bad experience. I've been going to Rue for years and the experience has only gotten worse. Anyone who chooses to run a business in the unfortunate manner I saw tonight should be ashamed. The other employees were very nice and the music was GREAT but that dude was a complete psychopath, I will not go back to this bar under any circumstances
Awesome bar – this place gets very busy on a Friday and Saturday night, after 10 pm. service has always been great for me. I always have a fantastic time while I'm at this bar. music, food, and people are all great here.
Best Burlesque show every Sat. night! – This is the best place to be on a Sat. night. Freshest and most delicious sushi I have found in the metro east area. And the weekly Burlesque show put on by the Albino Alley Cats is amazing! You will see numbers done on silk ribbons hanging from the ceiling to fire eating! These girls are very talented and beautiful to watch. Between dance sets the music from the dj is awesome. We always try to get Katie as our waitress because she totally rocks and takes great care of us!
Try it once and you will be hooked on kittens and sushi for life!!!
Bad service, great sushi!! – The sushi was great but the service was not! Out table was dirty when we sat down. We waited a while but ended up having clean it ourselves. We also had to get our own menu and place or own order before our waitress finally came over. The place wasn't even very crowded!
Great place in downtown STL on Washington! – My bf and I went here recently on a Friday night. Lots of fun. It was an 80's theme night; I guess they have these every other Friday? Not sure. But the music was great, people were dancing, and some (who obviously knew ahead of time) were dressed in 80's gear. The only drawback was our waitress, who kind of ignored us for a while but then came back and provided good service. Not sure what happened there. The prices were standard for a downtown bar.
Washington Avenue's latest debut serves sushi. – The Scene
Rue 13 focuses more on lounging than dancing and uses fresh flowers, bright primary colors, and a few strategically placed mirrors to set the scene. Absent are the flashing lights and driving bass that dominate many other downtown clubs. What really sets Rue 13 apart is its sushi bar, which serves this trendiest of edibles into the wee hours. The sushi's trendiness is matched perfectly by that of the clientele. The wallets are large and the dress sizes extra small.
The Drinks
Several wines are offered, but for a place that caters to a martini-drinking crowd, the drink list is as short as the customers' skirts. House specialties carry famous painters' names and incorporate the latest craze in beverages: high-energy concoctions like 180. Because servers vie with patrons for the Most Aloof award, go to the bar for your drink.
One of the bright spots on Washington Av – While it suffers some of the pretty-crowd syndrome; Rue 13 still features good music and great sushi.
The editorial review should be revised. The Savannah Club is long gone and there hasn't been a passage way between Rue 13 and Velvet for a number of years.

Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman was a guest Saturday on MSNBC's "Melissa Harris-Perry," where she joined a panel discussion on voter rights, civil rights and immigrant rights under President Obama.
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." So proclaimed Alabama Gov. George Wallace more than a half-century ago. His proudly racist rhetoric was matched by heinous actions: Murders, lynchings and systemic violence, often endorsed or organized by state and local governments, were inflicted on African Americans and their allies struggling for civil rights. Despite that, those fighting for equality prevailed. Among the successes were the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, affirmative action and court-ordered integration of schools. But with this week's U.S. Supreme Court decision supporting Michigan's ban against affirmative action in state university admissions, and with the increasing resegregation of schools, it seems like Wallace's dream of "segregation forever" may be alive and all too well.
Nikole Hannah-Jones is an investigative journalist with the nonprofit news organization ProPublica, which has just published her yearlong, 9,000-word piece on the resegregation of public schools in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This remarkable report, "Segregation Now," notes that "In Tuscaloosa today, nearly one in three black students attends a school that looks as if Brown v. Board of Education never happened." The Brown decision, issued in May of 1954, covered several pending court cases (all organized by the NAACP) challenging school segregation. U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren authored the unanimous decision, writing, "We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."

Eighteen-year-old Mariah Durojaiye is always on the prowl for the most anticipated, trendiest sneakers. She's just one of a growing number of devoted sneaker buffs who will comb the Internet, camp out in the wee hours and pay top dollar for the most sought-after athletic shoes.
These aren't your old Reebok Pumps.
"It is like part of my culture. All of our friends are really big 'sneakerheads.' It is who we are," said Durojaiye. "There are so many different trends and styles and colors. It is a fun way to be fashionable."
Durojaiye, who enters college in September, buys about five to 10 pairs of designer sneakers each year. She said she uses her "mom's finances" or gets them as gifts for her birthday and holidays.
Her mother, Debbie Montford, hopes her daughter finds a job soon to help pay for her sneaker habit.
(Read More: Buying a Picasso on Amazon? Not So Crazy)
"Even the kids I work with have every pair of sneakers that come out," said Montford, a special education teacher. "Where do the people get the money to pay for these? I have a pair of Skechers. I love Skechers."
While a pair of Skechers typically costs between $49 and $110, some of the most sought-after sneakers start at prices above that range and can cost as much as $300. But the truly hot sneakers sell out fast, forcing fans to buy them in secondary markets where they can cost hundreds of dollars above their retail price.
Sneaker sales have been a healthy part of the retail economy, and the online portion is growing fast. Market researcher NPD Group estimated the total ecommerce athletic footwear market in the U.S. was worth about $5 billion from May 2012 to April 2013, up 21 percent from the period a year earlier.
What's more, the growth doesn't include all those "sneakerheads" buying and trading on their own. The craze right now is big enough to support its own convention, Sneaker Con, which kicks off Saturday in New York. Just like Comic Con, which brings together the nation's biggest comic book fanatics, this event gives sneaker connoisseurs a chance to buy, sell, and trade some of the most sought-after footwear on the market.
There also are websites like Kicksonfire.com, which was started by 24-year-old Furqan Khan as a blog in the mid-2000s to generate cash to help pay for college. The site tells readers which brands are releasing new models, and when and where to buy them. It's one of the sneaker-dedicated sites Durojaiye uses to get the latest buzz.
"The idea came about because there was no source for where you can find this information in one place," Khan said. "So me and one of my friends curated all this information from multiple sites and put it in one place that is easily accessible to people."
"Once we got traction, we became cool with the brands and they started sending the information directly to us," he said.
Kicksonfire now gets about 25 million page views a month, according to Quantcast, which measures Internet audiences.
Khan, who personally owns more than 1,000 pairs of sneakers, said a new designer sneaker comes to market about every other week. His site tracks the hottest pairs. Right now, according to Khan, the one to watch is Nike's Air Jordan 4 Retro, which is commonly called the Toro Bravo, which will be released on July 13.
There's also the hyped released of the Reebok Shaqnosis, which is due to hit the shelves Friday, he said. Performer Chris Brown wore this style at the BET Awards a few weeks ago. The retail price is $125, but demand is expected to quickly drive up that figure.
"You would think that you are buying sneakers and wasting your money, but you realize really quickly that the kids are really smart and it is an investment, too. The prices really go up after the release date. You can trade them, too," said Khan.
And, it's not just teens and young adults driving sales. Jaime Penaloza, a member of an Instagram group called "Sneakaholics," doesn't fit the stereotypical profile of a sneaker fanatic. He's an accountant in his mid-30s and is married with children. Penaloza buys sneakers to wear and as an investment.
"My wife is OK with it," he said. "She knows that they are not a waste of money. She sees that I can make real cash if I turn around and sell my sneakers. I don't want to though. I have a good job. I don't need to do that."
Penaloza buys about 100 pairs sneakers a year and stores them in his home office, closet and garage. The self-proclaimed sneakerhead isn't sure how many he owns. But he has spent as much as $500 for a pair. That pair was the Nike Zoom Rookie Galaxy, which retailed for $215. After they quickly sold out, he bought them from a reseller on the day of the release.
(Read More: Bulls Shop at Abercrombie & Fitch)
There's chatter that the demand and price explosion could be contributing to a bubble. But, there's a case against it.
"As long as there is new innovative product there will be a market as there are new teenagers coming into the market every day," said Samuel Poser, managing director at Sterne Agee.
And, what's old can be new again. Reebook is selling a new version of the pump, which was first released in 1989, but you may not want to chuck your vintage Reebok pumps just yet. There's a previously worn men's pair from 1990—with a broken right pump—offered on eBay at $159. Start your bidding.
(CORRECTION: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated Furqan Khan considers to the Air Jordan 3 Retro '88 to be the hottest sneaker right now. It should have been Nike's Air Jordan 4 Retro "Toro Bravo," which will be released on July 13.)

Website: http://www.ronpaul.meetup.com/506
Location: Los Angeles
Members: 80
Latest Activity: Jul 5, 2013
Occupy Los Angeles is now officially participating in the November 22 march and rally on the Federal Reserve. Here's the flyer:
ETF Los Angeles Rally Flyer (1 up)
ETF Los Angeles Rally Flyer (4 up)
November 22nd, 2008, marked the beginning of the End for the Federal Reserve System as thousands of awakened Americans rallied at every Fed branch and office on the anniversary of the meeting that spawned its birth.
On November 22nd, 2011, the beginning phase Ends and the new future of Sound Money for America begins.
As the financial and economic system enters the next, greater phase of crisis, as gold and silver surge in value and as the leading advocate of End the Fed and Sound Money for America, Ron Paul, surges in support for his candidacy for President, citizens will once again rally by the thousands. We will declare our intention to start the process of exiting the fiat money debt slavery trap by taking measures to move towards sound money in our personal choices and at the state and local level.
We will declare the message that all Americans need to hear at this critical historical juncture:
This is our time. The Fed is literally HISTORY. We the People are the future, the Fed is the past. On November 22nd, 2011, we will begin to forge our own future based on the wisdom of the Founding Fathers and the Constitution.
This year we will hold our Rallies for Sound Money on a Tuesday rather than a weekend day. This will present additional challenges, but we are up to the task.
Start planning your local rallies now! Check the list of Fed branches and offices and let's make sure every one of them is covered!
Please create an event for your local rally here:
Please keep in mind and apply the following rules:
• Peaceful, orderly exercise of Constitutional Rights of Free Assembly and Free Speech
• Seek the positive cooperation and assistance of law enforcement in the exercise of these rights

Our new Education pages are now available in beta. Take a look and let us know what you think.
What was Chamberlain trying to do?
After the First World War, the map of Europe was re-drawn and several new countries were formed. As a result of this, three million Germans found themselves now living in part of Czechoslovakia. When Adolf Hitler came to power, he wanted to unite all Germans into one nation.
In September 1938 he turned his attention to the three million Germans living in part of Czechoslovakia called the Sudetenland. Sudeten Germans began protests and provoked violence from the Czech police. Hitler claimed that 300 Sudeten Germans had been killed. This was not actually the case, but Hitler used it as an excuse to place German troops along the Czech border.
During this situation, the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, flew to meet Hitler at his private mountain retreat in Berchtesgaden in an attempt to resolve the crisis. Three of the documents here are extracts from Chamberlain's own record of the meeting. The other two documents are useful evidence of the kind of advice Chamberlain was getting at home in Britain.
- What makes you think that?
- What do you think that Nevile Henderson means when he says that 'Benes will never go far enough till he is made to do so'?
- What did Nevile Henderson want the British press to do about Hitler?
- What do you think Henderson's opinion was of Hitler?
- How might Henderson's view affect what Chamberlain did when he met Hitler?
1. These sources are extracts from a letter written by Nevile Henderson, British Ambassador in Germany, 6th September 1938.
Do you think the German people were nervous about the outcome of the Sudetenland talks?
- Hitler said: "..."
- Chamberlain queried: "..."
- Hitler replied: "..."
- What threat does Hitler make here?
- How does Chamberlain respond?
- What does Chamberlain suggest to Hitler?
- Sudetenland was part of Czechoslovakia. No Czech representative was present at this meeting. Did Chamberlain have the right to make this offer?
2. These three sources are extracts from the minutes of the conversation between Chamberlain and Hitler at Berchtesgaden.Look at Source 2a. Write a summary of this part of the meeting by adding one sentence to each of these three starters:
Hitler was capable of being charming, of lying and of bullying. Find examples of all three of these aspects of his personality in all three sources
- What does General Ismay, writing in September 1938, assume will happen to Czechoslovakia? (Remember that at this time Czechoslovakia was still an independent country which included the Sudetenland.)
- What effect does he think the German conquest of Czechoslovakia will have on German military strength?
- Does he recommend that Britain should fight Germany now, or later?
- What are his reasons?
- How might General Ismay's views affect what Chamberlain did when he met Hitler later, at Munich on 29 September?
3. This is the conclusion of a note from General Ismay to the British Cabinet sent on 20th September 1938, marked 'Secret'. Ismay was Secretary of the Committee of Imperial Defence.
- What are the arguments for and against each of these statements about appeasement?
- Which one do you think is the most accurate and give reasons for your choice.
4. Use the sources above as well as any other knowledge you may have about the situation in the Sudetenland to answer the following:
'Chamberlain's appeasement policy made war more likely because Hitler thought he could get away with anything.'
'Chamberlain's appeasement policy bought a valuable year for Britain to get ready for the war which was bound to come.'
'Chamberlain believed that Hitler was a man of his word.'
'The decision to give the Sudetenland to Germany let down the Czech people.'

On the eve of Tiger Woods series' 10th anniversary, EA Sports, developers of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08, reiterate their understanding of what's key in an annual sports franchise. Keeping critical acclaim above the waterline lies in the incremental additions and improvements balanced over the previous year's release. EA doesn't have to reinvent the wheel every year, but it does have to improve traction and handling … without scaring people away by snapping on a set of hubcap spinners.
The greatest addition -- or should we say re-addition -- is the three-click swing. And, better yet, the ability to switch between it and analog swing on the fly. The three-click swing, back by popular demand, starts a swing on the first click, gauges power from the second click, and measures accuracy with the third. The rubber-banding right to left motion ruins flinchers, but is ultimately easier and more accurate than the analog swing. The analog swing is no-joke sensitive and can prove embarrassing to amateurs trying to decipher its delicate science.
Playing at Tour Pro difficulty (topping the chart from Easy Play, Balanced, and Hard levels) raises the ante on several major points. First, the aforementioned three-click swing is immediately disabled, revealing that swings based on visual cues are a noteworthy challenge. Second, the arcade-like ball-spinning action is disabled, making your shot equal your shot, rather than equal some bizarre last-minute quip in a favorable direction. Third, shots from the rough multiply their difficulty, largely by taking a lot of oomph out of your swing, and also by penalizing accuracy. Fourth, accuracy overall is harder to master, which plays a tremendous role the moment you talk about another all-new feature in this year's Tiger Woods: Confidence.
…Or lack of it. Confidence is a new monkey on your back that travels around with you as faithfully as your favorite caddy bag. With an abundance of statistics to back it up, Confidence measures your previous experience with certain holes, clubs, and ball lies, then furtively applies them to your current circumstances. Been chipping extraordinarily well from the bunkers (like me)? Then your accuracy circle -- your target -- will shrink. Been driving off the tee extraordinarily bad (like me)? Then your accuracy circle opens wider and wider until you get to the point where you'd rather reach for rosary beads rather than your driver. One poignant factor calculating Confidence is the shot's risk. Fail a risky shot -- over a water hazard, skirting bunkers, etc. -- and your Confidence will plummet. But land that same risky shot, and you're rewarded with increased Confidence the next time you meet up with similar circumstances. Confidence is a career follower, landing the shots you're seeking, or barring those same shots entirely.
One more beautiful feature added to this Tiger Woods is the Putt Preview. The grid layout to the putting greens is already smartly played, with pinpoints of light coasting along the greens' topography to indicate the shape and thrust of your putt. But now, available once per putt, is the Putt Preview which etches out a chalky line for your ball's projected path. Using Putt Preview will exponentially improve your short game. But again, engaging the Pro Tour difficulty level removes the preview, leaving you to the same old song and dance that gives some putting greens their deserved degree of infamy. Damning the Putt Preview for making the game "too easy" (as several game reviewers lament) is a silly point of contention, since it's nothing more than an added option for the player to utilize or let lie, depending on an individual's level of restraint and/or challenge-seeking. I use Putt Preview with a religious fervor, since it took my game from double bogeys and four-overs to pars and beautiful little birdies. EA Sports would be remiss to remove this feature from successive Tiger Woods titles.
Also making a debut this year is Bingo Bango Bongo, a new golf format added to the Traditional Game Modes menu. Between you and a challenger, whoever puts the ball on the green first: Bingo. Whoever puts the ball closest to the pin: Bango. Whoever puts the ball in the cup with the least strokes: Bongo. That's in addition to an already healthy stable of other Traditional Game Modes like Match Play, Skins, and Best Ball; Arcade Modes like Battle Golf, and the dirty-pool One Ball; and the Mini-Games section with a lineup like Twenty One, Target to Target, and T-I-G-E-R. (If you've ever played a b-ball game of H-O-R-S-E, then you already get the gist.)
All of these games are buried in a dry menu system, which sometimes makes it strangely difficult to locate commonly-visited options, like the Pro Shop for instance. There's also little guidance for just-starting players on where to begin. With the PGA Tour Season plunked at the top of the My Career list, I thought it was a natural starting point (after I found the Tutorial section tucked into an obscurely-titled My Tiger '08 menu). The PGA Tour Season, however, is best saved for skilled characters. Skills can be built in the logically-titled Skills Training section, but I was temporarily lost at the driving range, which -- no matter how many drives I put in -- refused to improve my stats by any margin.
I say all that to say this: The menu screens are in need of at least a graphical (if not a content) overhaul, simply because Tiger Woods has monstered out in enough tentacled directions to give the cold-shoulder to series newbies.
Once entrenched into the honeycomb grid making up the Tiger Challenge, however, the bite-size events serve well to forward character progress. Instead of slugging out four rounds of a PGA Tour event (in which the rounds, incidentally, are scaleable down to three, two, or even one round in length) the Tiger Challenge raises the glass ceiling erected over your budding skill levels, which are, in turn, advanced dramatically during the aforementioned PGA Tour events -- which are found in the Event Calendar under the PGA Tour Season, found under My Career, found under Game Modes, which is located on the main menu screen (okay, I'm done beating the dead menu-horse).

Former Man United striker Michael Owen backs Wayne Rooney to break his international goalscoring record
Former England striker Michael Owen has backed Wayne Rooney to beat his goalscoring record at international level and believes the Manchester United forward could play a major role in the World Cup next summer.
Owen sits fifth on England's all-time goalscoring list having notched 40 international goals in 89 appearances for the senior international side.
The 28-year-old Rooney has three less caps than Owen to date and sits just behind him on the goalscoring list, currently with 38 international strikes to his name.
But Owen, who retired at the end of last season following spells with Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Manchester United and Stoke, believes he will soon be overtaken by Rooney.
"It is no question," he said at the Football Association's 150th anniversary gala.
"With the way he is playing at the minute, he is scoring goals and even in a team in Manchester United, who are not firing on all cylinders, he is a stand-out player every week so it is great to see and long may that continue."
Despite having been a key player for England almost ever since his debut as a 17-year-old in 2003 Rooney has never had a successful World Cup outing and has no goals in the tournament finals to his name.
Owen feels his former United team-mate can change that in Brazil next summer after he lost his place as England's talisman to Rooney.
"He had a big, major tournament in Portugal [Euro 2004] when I played alongside him," Owen added.
"I went in to the tournament as the main England striker and probably came out of it firmly in my place because Wayne had taken off.
"It was role reversed. He certainly sparkled in to life and that tournament and we know he can play on the big stage. I'd love to see him, and we need to see him, playing well at the World Cup and I think he will."
England qualified for Brazil as group winners following a campaign which ended undefeated for Roy Hodgson's side.
Owen feels the group may have been closer than a lot of people may had anticipated but was delighted with the way the team played in the final two qualifiers at home to Montenegro and Poland.
"Qualification was a bit of a struggle," he said.
"I don't think everyone was 100 per cent confident right the way through the group but we got there in the end and we got there convincingly.
"The last two games were really, really good and I was really impressed with the team the manager picked in the first place and then with the way we played.
"It was the first time in quite a while I have thought 'we are going somewhere here' and it was good to see."
Despite not wishing to make claims that England would leave Brazil next summer with the World Cup trophy, Owen reckons the performances of the majority of young players being blooded by Hodgson can only bode well for the future.
"I think we are on an upward course definitely," he said.
"We have got some young players, players with pace and goals in the team. You look at the team and even the full-backs can score goals now, you need to score goals in international football.
"We shouldn't be getting carried away, it was only a couple of games against a team you would expect to be beating - it is something to build on."

I knew I'd be navigating a minefield in my Saturday column, which dealt with two combustible topics: race and politics.
I said that the Republican campaign, in the run-up to Tuesday's presidential vote, has resorted to a not-so-subtle nativist appeal that relies on racial animus and fears.
All that "It's time to take our country back" rhetoric you hear at GOP rallies makes me wonder just whose country they think this is. I know race-baiting when I hear it.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
INTERACTIVE: Battleground states map
The response to the column on public comment boards tended toward the ugly — as anonymous forums often do.
But the hundreds of emails I received revealed a divided but thoughtful populace, harboring fears and resentments as real as my own.
My column accused the campaign's rhetoric of creating a haven for prejudice, promoting Barack Obama's other-ness as a socially acceptable proxy for racial prejudice.
VOTER GUIDE: Central issues of Election 2012
Dozens of voters objected. Many took the column to mean that I think that anyone voting for Mitt Romney is either hateful or a racist.
That's not what I wrote, and not what I meant. But the implication offended readers, who accused me of race-baiting.
"I do not yet know who I will vote for, but to suggest that if I lean toward Romney it is racist is inappropriate," wrote Sam Wild. "Please appreciate that there are idiots, morons, imbeciles and just plain dopes in the fringes of both parties, and to focus only on the Romney jerks is polarizing."
Readers in that camp insist that opposition to Obama is not about race. It's about a bad economy, broken promises and the incumbent's liberal agenda.
"Because of the actions of a very small percentage of Americans, you used a broad brush and stereotype to classify whites as being racist and not voting for President Obama because of his race," wrote Vahak Petrossian of Glendale. He is not voting for Obama because "he broke his promise after the election" to acknowledge the Armenian genocide.
But some readers, in trying to call me out, actually validated the column's claim.
"You want to make it about a black man," wrote Gary Marquis of Orange County. "I didn't vote for Obama because I think he is a liberal Marxist … a man with more Arabic genes than black genes, [who] has failed at the job."
And then there was the guy who "hates your idiot Muslim president" because he caters to "radical libs."
Other readers endorsed my perspective, and said they too were disturbed by what they saw as unfair treatment of Obama — the candidate and the president.
"The ugly treatment afforded this president is an embarrassment for our country and me personally," wrote Sue Masengale of Rancho Palos Verdes. "As a 71-year-old I've seen a few presidents come and go. But at no time have I witnessed this degree of ugliness and lack of respect."
But others said that this kind of bare-knuckle brawl is par for the course in such a close race, with so much at stake.
"These election animosities are old news to me," wrote 81-year-old Mimi Loupe of La Habra. "As a child, I remember families and friends broken apart over Roosevelt and Dewey.... Get over this race thing. Get rid of the chip on your shoulder."
Some were more blunt, like Marsha Roseman of Van Nuys. "My husband and I fought for civil rights in the '60s. We are supporters of Mitt Romney. You are the racist, and your article is divisive and disgusting."
I heard that a lot — that I'm stirring the pot because I can't see past race to reality. I was offended, too, at being labeled a racist. I found myself countering with some shopworn version of "Some of my best friends are white people...." Now that's embarrassing.
And it's also evidence of how hard it is, when you're talking about race across a racial divide, not to come off sounding like a boob.
Readers told me they have experienced that feeling too. "Your column covered an issue that is never discussed in polite society … at least not in 'white' society," wrote Jim Brigham, who has learned to tiptoe around the subject with friends and co-workers.
What heartened me is how many people are wrestling with the subject, acknowledging that even unintentional bias can be difficult to dislodge.
"I've never been able to completely shed the sense of 'them' and 'us,' " wrote a white Obama supporter who grew up in a rural area "where there were no black people at all." He supports the president "because he's a smart, thoughtful man who has done his very best to make good decisions for America."
And yet, "I'm embarrassed to admit that I still see the 'black' first, and only after shaking hands and talking does that fade away, at which point the person emerges and the color ceases to matter."
That can be a hard point to reach as a nation too — but we are moving toward it.
Listen to this woman, "white, Christian, a successful businesswoman, and so embarrassed by the Republican Party that I hate to admit I ever was one."
Yet she feels "the pull of Romney's 'he looks like me' persona."
She went on to list things that she appreciates from Obama's first term, including affordable healthcare for her grown children. Still, voting for him isn't easy.
"Obama is different than me. His name is funny and he reminds me of things that feel scary. I overcome this unease with my intellect and my ... moral compass," she wrote.
"I'm sorry I have anything to overcome at all. Please forgive me. Because it is our country. Bless it."
