I can't load up Pinball FX2 on Xbox Live Arcade without spending at least a couple of hours playing through every table once or twice as it is. Now they're giving me a table where experience points and loot carry over from game to game? Obviously Zen Studios is trying to kill me. – KOTAKU
Marvel Pinball is a great add-on to an already excellent experience. If you grew up with pinball machines, this will no doubt recapture a love long lost with the collapse of arcades. If you never had the chance to experience pinball, now is as good a time as any. – IGN
We're going to keep playing probably long after this review, and we'll have no qualms ponying up for extra tables. Pinball heads unite – this is as good as it gets without having an actual table in your house. – GAMES RADAR
Zen Studios loves pinball. They are essentially the premiere developer in the genre. – PLAYSTATION LIFESTYLE

What the Press Are Saying:
As a complete package, Star Wars Pinball delivers the kind of arcade experience that makes you crave just one more game, constantly chasing to surpass your own score for the sheer satisfaction of it.
Desctructoid - 9.5/10
Each table is chock full of beautiful art, character cameos, and tracks pulled straight from the films' soundtracks. These first three tables are a bold and equally stellar introduction to Star Wars Pinball, and they'll keep you more than busy until Zen Studios drops the next batch.
Game Informer - 8.5/10
You don't need to be a Star Wars fan to recognize the creativity Zen has brought to the new tables. The company continues to include more fantasy elements in its designs.
The best thing about Star Wars Pinball is its jaw-dropping graphics. The many targets, ramps, rollovers, and kickers that make up its pinball course are all polished with incredible detail. Even the pinball itself is stunning, with its metallic surface realistically reflecting the ambient lights as it spins across the table. And the choreographed flashing of all these table elements really make you feel as though Zen Studios pulled out all the stops when making this game.
Penny Arcade Report (Ben Kuchera)
If you're a fan of pinball, Star Wars, or fun things, this is pretty much a must-purchase.

Pinball Universe
The primary objective of the Pinball arcade game is to score as many points as possible. Points are earned when the ball strikes different targets on the play field. A drain is situated at the bottom of the play field, protected by player-controlled plastic bats called flippers. A game ends after all the balls fall into the drain.
How to play Pinball Universe:
At first you need to shoot a ball with a spring. Just touch anywhere on the phone screen and the
virtual spring will gather strenght. When you are at your maximum move your finger away to shoot a ball.
Control a flipper by touching on the left or right side of your screen. Try to hit as many obsticle as you can.
There are also few hidden bonuses. Try to find them.

The Yamaha XVS1100 - a big cruiser of yesteryear is more a mid sized cruiser of today. It's an evolution of Yamaha's long running XV1100 Virago which used to be its custom-style range topper but now it's dwarfed by the near-two litre megacruisers. The Yamaha XVS1100 is somewhat old tech but light weight and manageability are always useful.

Owners love their Yamaha BT1100 Bulldogs. Everyone else hates 'em. Depending on your point of view the Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog is either a relaxing, better-braked alternative to a cruiser, rather like a Japanese version of a Moto Guzzi Breva (that won't break down), or it's an ill-handling, gutless chump of a thing that would sooner dump you on your backside ...

Couple of questions.....
First, How much longer is the tournament lasting? Seems that we have a lot of new people that would like to get in, but I don't want to barrage you with requests, so just wondering when the new season might start. :)
Next, for competetive tournaments in the real world, would this game seem to need a side deck? Was talking about it with a friend, and we thenk a side deck would be very nice. I think as small as 10 would be great. What do you think?

In her talk, Melinda Gates makes a provocative case for nonprofits taking a cue from corporations such as Coca-Cola, whose plugged-in, global network of marketers and distributors ensures that every remote village wants — and can get — a Coke. Why shouldn't this work for condoms, sanitation, vaccinations too? (Filmed at TEDxChange.)

Loyola also offers non-degree programs and a five-year combined bachelor's/master's degree.
We are often asked about the difference between our Master's in Computer Science and the Master's in Software Engineering. Which program is for you?
The Computer Science program (MSCS, or CS) is focused on developing your technical skills and knowledge. Its areas of focus include web programming, database management systems, programming languages, algorithms, networking, and similar topics. It has two kinds of courses: required courses and electives. The required courses ensure that you have a broad knowledge of these important areas, and the electives allow you to explore areas of interest more deeply.
The Software Engineering program (MSSE, or SE) is intended for those who are already in the industry and who already have significant technical ability. It is aimed at the next step: becoming an effective technical leader of software development projects. Its areas of focus include software team leadership, lifecycle management (agile, iterative, etc.), testing, requirements, larger-scale software architectures and patterns, and formal methods.
The Software Engineering program builds upon the Computer Science program or its equivalent. In fact, one of the required courses in the Computer Science program is CS 770, "Software Engineering," a survey of software engineering topics. The other courses in the Software Engineering program, which require CS 770 as their prerequisite, are numbered in the 770's through 790's. They are available as electives in the Computer Science program as well.
Some of our graduate students start with one or more of the 600-level preliminary courses and progress from there. If you fit this category, Computer Science is likely the program for you.
It is possible to switch between programs, especially early in your program.
See each program description for example course sequencing. And do feel free to discuss your choice further with us. Contact Lewis Berman, email@example.com, (410) 617-2587.

The global response to Hobie's passing has been monumental; astronomical would be a more accurate description. Over the past few weeks, the effect that Hobie Alter had on people's lives has been shared across every medium imaginable. We have received heart felt letters, pictures, mementos, and countless stories of how a Hobie invention created a lifetime memory or contributed to a way of life. It has lit up social media with a plethora of tweets, posts, threads, and creative hash tagging. It even made the nightly news.
Seventeen year old French team rider Martin Letourner has been hard at all winter in his back yard of Saint-Malo, " the waves aren't always perfect but it's interesting to train in all surfing conditions"
Hobie SUP was recently contacted by Emelia DeForce, a Research Associate at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Emelia was on her way to Antarctica on research, and as an avid stand up paddler at home, Emelia wanted to try stand up paddling Antarctica. Due to obvious travel contraints and extreme conditions, a conventional sup wouldn't work. After some careful discussion with the crew a Hobie SUP , she was outfitted with Hobie's new 10'8 Adventure Inflatable SUP.
Here is a great field report from her first Antarctic SUP adventure
To SUP or not to SUP - Emelia DeForce

I was invited a year and a half ago to join an Antarctic expedition as a scientist. I am a microbial ecologist meaning that I study microscopic organisms in nature. The Long Term Ecological Research study that I joined has a goal to better understand how global climate change is affecting our planet. Our group consists of microbiologists, biological and physical oceanographers and marine biologists specializing in whale, fish, and penguin research. We are spending 28 days off at sea working to understand the Antarctic marine ecosystem and its response to climate perturbations. We are also joined by a film crew from Rutgers University who will be making a documentary on our expedition as a means to improve public awareness of our work, and of Antarctic climate change in general, keep posted on that front!
Hobie has been an integral part allowing me to continue my avid love for water sports during this expedition through the production of the latest inflatable SUPs. I said to myself "what's better than trying one of these suckers out to push the extreme limits on myself?" Pushing the extremes became a reality when safety issues crept up due to the top of the food chain in Antarctica posing real threats. The Leopard seal is large and in charge. I am so not interested in making friends with one of these guys! As it turns out, there was a single Leopard seal in the small inlet on Adelaide Island, Antarctica where I SUPed. I geared up and paddled out to have folks on land hollering at me "Emelia, Leopard seal, there's a Leopard seal!" I made very quick eye contact with the seal and decided that there will be bigger and better opportunities to make this happen, besides, there were other better looking animals to hang out with and photograph.
Stay tuned for more to come!

This isn't going to be a fun little sightseeing paddle across the channel looking at sea life… this is going to be a hurl-fest grind. -Sean Douglas
On Sunday April 1, 2012 The Ocean Ohana Catalina Challenge Relay will take place. A 39.8 mile race on OC1, OC2, Surfski, SUP or Paddleboard from Avalon to Dana Point. In year's past, paddlers have been met with generally calm conditions; this year, not so much.
Not for the faint of heart
To me, weather like this calls for warm blankets, sleeping in and a lazy day inside. For Catalina competitors, these conditions are a dream come true. I talked with Challenge racer Byron Kurt, who will compete with his partner Colin McPhillips in SUP as a two man team representing Hobie, to get his thoughts on all things Catalina.
Byron Kurt Wants to Beat You. Every. Time.
What are your thoughts on the wind and swell advisory?
Byron: "I pray for conditions like this. I hope for Conditions like this. 45 knot downwinder, that is what you want out of the Catalina Challenge. Who wants to paddle 39 miles in flat water…? If you want to do that, you can do it by doing laps in the Harbor."
What do you think your main challenge will be out there?
Byron: "The biggest challenge will be for the boat Captain's, in these kind of conditions you are only going to be as good as your Captain. The course they lay out decides if you win or not. The second biggest will be figuring out what you are going to need to keep you hydrated, safe, and comfortable out there. It is a long day, with complicated transfers. Be prepared, it is going to come down to a tough mental game."
Any goals for the day?
Byron: "I'll be disappointed if they cancel the event. I feel like it could be a day for Colin and I to break the record set by Chuck Patterson and I, for two man SUP, at 6hr 32mins and 13 sec. There is the potential for this to be a very fast race with new bars set across all craft."
No rights, Colin.. Only left's the whole way.
Byron is legit, no doubt. He has been with Hobie for 34 years as a surfer, sailor, windsurfer, and SUPer. He is also an Iron Man Triathlete and a 6 handicap golfer. Notorious for speaking his mind, he will be a force in this race. He has also test piloted every one of the designs in the Hobie SUP arsenal. I talked with head shaper, Mark Johnson, to hear his thoughts on Byron and Colin as a team.
How do you think Byron and Colin will do as a team?
MJ: "They'll be great. Colin goes about racing in an all business like manner; head down, no complaints, incredibly focused. He is the most gracious champion (**Ed note: Colin McPhillips is a three time World Longboard Champion) in the water… he brings a lot of credibility to SUP. They both share the same drive to win. Byron wants to be the first one across the line every time. He is probably the most mentally tough racer out there."
Can you tell me anything about the board they will be on?
MJ: "No. Not a chance. The only thing I'll tell you is this race will put the equipment to the test, and I like that. If they keep the nose out of the water, and stay in the trough.. it will be an exciting day."
The Board.
Final thoughts on the race go to the boss, Jeff Alter who will be Captaining the Team Hobie escort boat along with Chuck Benson.
How do you think it's going to go?
Jeff: "I'm excited, strategy and knowledge are going to play a big roll. If it were me, I'd take a leisurely 6-7 mile paddle to the north of the island, then kick straight in through the surf, take lefts the whole way. With this wind, records could be set."
Are you worried about the weather?
Jeff: "No. I have sturdy cup holders, so I'm not worried at all."

After the publication of our whitepaper about the Gauss cyber-attack, we have been asked if there is an easy way for users to check their system for infection. Of course the most reliable way is to download and install our antivirus solution or use the free Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool.
If someone needs to double-check or for some reason cannot download full antivirus package, we offer a quick and easy way to check for the presence of Gauss component.
The idea of checking the system using a webpage comes from the wellknown Hungarian research lab, known as CrySyS. They have also introduced a web-based method to check your system for Palida Narrow. Their test webpage is currently available here: http://gauss.crysys.hu.
We used the same idea and tried to improve the detection method. Now it works without server interaction.
Below the current blogpost you will find an iframe window which has the results of a javascript code check to verify whether you have the mysterious Palida Narrow font installed. This font was used during the Gauss cyber-attack. Although we don't currently understand exactly why the attackers have installed this font, it could serve as an indicator of Gauss activity on your system. More details about the module which installs this font are available in our full article.
If you receive an alert warning you about the presence of Palida Narrow, we'd like you to e-mail us at email@example.com and we'll try to assist you. Otherwise, you should install an antivirus solution and check your system immediately.
Result of Palida Narrow online detection:
PS: BTW, in case you are infected with Gauss, the free Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool can be used to clean it.

Direct Flat Packed Delivery 7-10 Working days
Direct Flat Packed Delivery 7 - 10 Working Days
The Hanworth dresser is designed with Shaker inspiration. The clean and functional styling will suit any modern day nursery. Has 2 deep storage drawers and a single cupboard to keep babies essentials close to hand and a area for changing - just add your favourite choice in mat (not included)
i havn't had my baby yet , she is due in Nov but we ordered this and when it arrived me and my husband thaught we gonna need whole day to assemble it but it was very easy to assemble but took almost 2 hours . When it came together looks very nice and actually it is quite spacious and i am sure will be easy to clean . Only issues were the wood quality is very poor if you tighten any screw to much you can see the raised surface on other end and it smells of fresh paint ..its been a week and still when we enter the nursery the paint smell is not gone , hence would advice to leave the doors and drawers open before statring to use it . Otherwise very good looking stuff for nursery . I would recommend it for its price and look to friends .
This changing unit provides maximum storage for all your babies essentials. Effortlessly looks perfect in any nursery
As first time parents with very high standards, we found the dresser/changing table that we wanted.It is easy to clean and pleasant on the eyes. The design offers nice smooth lines, as well as a piece of furniture which is simple, classy and functional.However, upon assembly we noticed that some of the parts were far from the standard we had anticipated, which is a shame. The drawers as well as the door have been manufactured with a poor finish. The drawers can be a bit "clunky" when you open and close them.We must unfortunately say that we are a bit disappointed considering that the product cost us [$].Perhaps we were only unlucky to receive a copy which wasn't perfect, but I wish I had because I really like this dresser. I would recommend this to a friend, but not one who has as high standards and expectations as I seem to have.

Oscar de la Renta
OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Oscar de la Renta
2012 February 15
Fall 2012: Oscar de la Renta, J.Crew, Badgley Mischka, Tory Burch
FirstView View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Oscar de la Renta
Bows, baubles, and baby pink! That was the overarching theme for Fall at Oscar de la Renta where short saccharine, jewel-encrusted frocks and puffy princess tulle ball gowns reigned supreme at the 42nd Street venue, a change of pace from the designer's typical UES digs. As the show got underway with metallic tweed or gold lace jacquard suiting and rich velvet column dresses, de la Renta's PR team seemed a bit frantic. Pourquoi? Glenda Bailey was in the elevator! "I have to produce a magazine while attending shows," explained the Harper's Bazaar editrix to The Daily. The result? Standing room only. Now back to the show. For the younger set, Oscar offered up blue sixities-ish minis, bedazzled tops with high-waisted skirts, and a plethora of party dresses. Upper echlon devotees were pleased with matching baby blue skirt suits and a pair of perfectly tailored, crease-front ankle trousers teamed with a demure sweater set. Following the finale, guests were encouraged (via a sticker on the show notes) to add suggestions for next season's inspiration. Discuss below!
This presentation was Jenna Lyon doing what she does best: color, color, color, plus that feminine slouchy styling that's her signature look, and consequently become a trademark of J.Crew as well. Let's start with Manolo Blahnik for J.Crew (!!!) shoes which came in every upper imaginable (tweed, glitter, patent, suede, metallic) but all in the same pointy-toed pump. Most of the presentation was J.Crew Collection, the more fashion forward line, thus using richer materials. Hence, there was no denim on display: in its place, lots of brocade, flat-front pants, wool pencil skirts, and a particularly zany neon pink skirt. One model with a complete Jenna doppelganger, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the brand's creative director, wore a mustard yellow drop waist dress and thick black spectacles. Another memorable riff on complementary colors: a light purple mohair sweater avec purple brocade pants, plus a neon yellow envelope clutch. Stripes and square cross body bags also factored into the mix. The place was packed, and there seemed to be a general consensus from the crowd that the clothes were cool and of course, wearable. Such is the J.Crew MO, non?
Badgley Mischka
A little Hugh Hefner, a little bed-head, a little seventies flare, and a lot of glamour. Welcome to Badgley and Mischka's vision for Fall 2012, encompasisng their eponymous line plus the lower-priced Mark+James brand. The show opened with a full-length burnished gold gown with adorable cap sleeves with full beading fringe and a deep sexy scoop in the back. Quite a lot of bang for the look! More casual separates got trotted out next, in the case of gold lamé pants with a long grandpa cardigan and thick fur collar. The run of show even described a loose, louche blouse (a "his shirt" look) as a pajama shirt of the decadent style that Hugh might sport, balanced by slim tweed pants in gold that had the perfect amount of flattering flare at the bottom. The more dressily inclined had plenty of cocktail dresses notched at the neckline and dripping in long oblique beading, looking a bit like shot gun shells. The gents certainly know their way around every flattering variation of the gown, mixing lots of black and gold together to create a myriad of sophisticated looks that makes us wish that evening wear could be worn, well, all the time.
Tory Burch
Her 9:25 a.m. start time be damned: Tory Burch had a jampacked front row. The music was sort of melancholy and the clothes came in a complementary palette of cool colors. The collection started with cream knits in ladylike pencil skirts and boxy jackets, the sleeves embellished with jet black beading. There were plenty of girly bows, headbands, and flowery clips adornign volumized updos. On that note, Tory was in the mood for blooms, as a number of appliquéd chiffon flowers adorned the bodice of dresses and a flower print or two cropped up on silk shirts. Referencing perhaps vintage Chanel, which Chic suspects Tory owns a lot of, there were tweedy warm and wooly fabrics in feminine shapes for jackets. And of course, a working woman with style always needs a pencil skirt jazzed up with brush-strokes of green and blue plaid, which made it less stuffy. Andt how could we forget that Tory is mother of those iconic medallion flats, and is thus an accessories whiz. Nary a logo was in sight on this season's pointy toed, conservative pumps. But the structured handbags with thick chain link straps were the finishing touch on a collection that was chic yet very accessible, and sellable without a doubt.

One good way to feed the pig is to lower the amount of money you spend on food. And the best way to save money on food is to cook more at home and eat out less.
You can save even more money by buying food when it's on sale. While I won't get into the details on how much you can save every week by buying on sale, I will give you an example of my own.
First off, my new favorite place to find recipes that can be made inexpensively is online at www.grocerybudget101.com. The site is run by a family of four, and every Monday they post a meal plan for the week and detail how much they spent on groceries for the plan — usually less than $50 a week (yes, it seems crazy, but they eat well every week for less than $50).
Surfing the site while doing my own meal planning, I found a recipe for copycat Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage. Now this took me a little by surprise. I always figured that making sausage was a complicated endeavor, but was I wrong. All you need are spices and ground pork, and you have delicious breakfast sausage on the cheap, and without all the preservatives and other chemicals found in store-bought brands.
While you can buy plain ground pork in the grocery store just like you can get ground beef, it's usually a better deal to buy a pork butt and grind it yourself. If you don't have a meat grinder, most grocery store butchers will grind it for you on request for free.
Pork butt went on sale a couple weeks ago for $1.29 per pound, so I grabbed two 7 pounders. Now 7 pounds of meat is way too much for my family of four, so I stretched it into several breakfasts and two dinners. (It would have been three dinners, but I dropped the Tupperware of leftover Brunswick stew on the kitchen floor while I cleaning up after dinner No. 2.) But that many meals for less than $10 is still a great deal.
The first thing I did was cut off a chunk of the pork butt, which amounted to about 2 pounds of meat. Then I cut that into cubes and fed it through the meat grinder attachment on my KitchenAid mixer, which gave me the ground pork I needed to make sausage. My husband took the remainder of the meat and smoked it on the grill, part of which we ate for dinner and the rest was chopped and saved to make the aforementioned Brunswick stew.
The price comparison? A pound of sausage at the grocery store is about $3.99. I made two pounds for $2.58 (not counting the spices, all of which I already had in my pantry) — double the meat for little more than half the price. Time to feed the pig!
2 pounds ground pork (or ground turkey for a healthier version)
2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 ½ teaspoons ground sage
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon oregano
Mix meat and spices. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Form meat into patties (I made 14 large patties out of 2 pounds) and place on cookie sheet. When the cookie sheet is filled, place another piece of parchment paper on top of the patties and continue layering until all the patties are used. Top all the layers with another sheet of parchment paper and place in the freezer. When frozen solid, transfer patties to an airtight container or freezer bag. To use, just pull out patties as you need them.
You can use the sausage immediately after mixing, but it tastes best if you let the flavors meld for at least 24 hours.

The Novosibirsk State Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet (NSATOB) is the biggest theater complex in Russia, a whopping 670,000-square-feet larger than the Bolshoi (Big) Theater in Moscow. It is also now one of the most technologically advanced in the country thanks to a recent $5.6 million government grant for renovation.
The design for the massive complex was chosen at an architectural competition in Paris in 1930. Construction on NSATOB began the following year, but was halted for a time during WWII. During the war, the partially completed building was used to house famous works of art from Moscow and St. Petersburg museums that had been evacuated, in order to preserve them. Construction was finally completed in 1945, and the complex's premier performance of Mikhail Glinka's Ivan Susanin was staged on May 12th, 1945 in celebration of V-E Day. In 1963, NSATOB became the first theater in Russia outside of Moscow to be named an academic institution for theater arts.
The last time the theater underwent renovation was in 1953. Its three performance venues were in dire need of restoration and improved technology. From acoustics to lighting to general stage technology, the theater is now completely digital. As part of that high-tech upgrade, NSATOB chose state-of-the-art lighting systems by ETC.
NSATOB's 1,174-seat Main Hall is now outfitted with 16 ETC Source Four® 10° spotlights, hanging from the balconies. The fixtures were chosen for the theater because Source Four technology provides the best light output to span the long distance from the stage. The theater also has 24 ETC Source Four 19°, 10 Source Four 26°, and 12 Source Four 36° fixtures. Aleksandr Lisitsa, NSATOB's lighting director, says: "ETC Source Four fixtures deserve the love and respect of lighting technicians, because they have great features and are versatile when it comes to beam angles. They're also easy to use."
When selecting equipment, NSATOB's technicians also wanted to use moving lights but were worried about the noise they would make. To solve this problem, they chose 26 ETC Source Four Revolution automated fixtures with their exclusive QuietDrive™ motor control for low-noise performance. With the capabilities that NSATOB's lighting system now has, the theater can support a larger range of productions, including international touring shows. DOKA Media Ltd., one of ETC's distributors in Russia, handled the installation for NSATOB.
As part of the reconstruction, the number of seats in the main hall was reduced from 2100 to 1174 to provide more audience comfort and better sightlines. The concert hall, on the other hand, was expanded from 370 to 686 seats and can now be reconfigured into different layouts to fit many functions. A new black-box theater with 130 seats can be used as a recording studio.
NSATOB's troupe has toured worldwide in Japan, France, Australia, Cuba, Italy, Bulgaria, Mongolia, China, Germany, Spain, the U.S., South Korea, India and many other countries.

Helena Middle School, MontanaThe rigging system in Helena Middle School's 1,065-seat theater was in need of major repair to ensure safety. It had rope rigging equipment with original wood blocks that dated back to the 1930's, five counterweight systems with wire guides from the 1950's, and12 motorized yo-yo-style winches that had been installed in the 1970's. Some parts of the system were even handmade. While the theater and its equipment had been well maintained through the years, the equipment no longer met current industry standards and posed potential safety hazards.
