Texas Longhorns

Texas Longhorns Class of 2009 review
By Carter Strickland
AUSTIN, Texas -- Before his senior season started,
Kenny Vaccaro
figuratively took a look around and literally figured out what was left of the vaunted 2009 recruiting class.
Garett Gilbert was highly rated out of high school but ended up transferring to SMU.
"We're it," he told defensive end
Alex Okafor
Not quite it. But almost.
In a class that was once held 20 players, great promise and a No. 3 ranking, only six players – Vaccaro, Okafor, guard
Mason Walters
, tight end
Barrett Matthews
, offensive lineman
Garrett Porter
and defensive tackle
Chris Whaley
-- either exhausted their eligibility or are still on the team. No so coincidentally, Texas also lost more games than it was accustomed to as this class in some cases disintegrated and others never materialized. The Longhorns were 22-16 over the past three years. That's the worst three-year stretch in Mack Brown's 15 years at Texas.
Brown, a year ago, even before four more players from the 2009 class left football before their eligibility was up, allowed that the evaluation process was not what it should have been.
"We let some slip," he said.
That one slip allowed so many other programs to catch up and surpass Texas. But even while Texas slipped with a few players --
Calvin Howell
, Derek Johnson, Marcus Davis -- there were others Texas snared that everyone else wanted, namely quarterback
Garrett Gilbert
Gilbert was the No. 2 quarterback nationally behind
Matt Barkley
. He was from Lake Travis High School, about 30 minutes away from campus. And he appeared to be the next in line after Vince Young and Colt McCoy.
Gilbert has since become the poster child for this ill-fated class and the whipping boy for all Texas' ills. He started 14 games for Texas, going 7-7. In his last and final start he was benched in the second quarter after a second interception. A shoulder injury was later discovered. After having it surgically repaired, he transferred to SMU. He led the Mustangs to a 7-6 record.
Five other 2009 signees transferred. Defensive end
Tevin Mims
is currently on the South Florida roster. Defensive back Marcus Davis went to Oregon but did not complete his eligibility there. Defensive lineman Derek Johnson transferred to Arkansas State but also did not complete his eligibility.
Eryon Barnett
transferred to Montana State and has a year of eligibility remaining. Greg Timmons asked for his release prior to the 2011 season and could not be found on an FBS roster.
Several players who left the 2009 class just walked away from football. Just last week offensive lineman
Thomas Ashcraft
, defensive lineman
Kyle Kriegel
and tight end
Trey Graham
gave up their final years of eligibility. Paden Kelly, the second-ranked offensive tackle in 2009, quit prior to the 2012 season. Linebackers Tariq Allen and Patrick Nkwopara gave up football.
Defensive tackle Calvin Howell left the team after an arrest last year. Tight end
Dominique Jones
was ruled academically ineligible before the 2011 Holiday Bowl and did not return to the team.
As for those remaining: Walters, one of the top-rated linemen in 2009, has been a three-year starter for Texas and has one year of eligibility remaining. Whaley is another player pushing for playing time. But he actually came to the program as a running back before being switched to defensive tackle in 2011. Porter continues to be a backup offensive lineman.

Taken as a whole, the Eurozone economy had until recently been relatively robust in the face of the credit crunch. This is about to change. There have already been some worrying data releases this month, particularly in the manufacturing area. Things got worse yesterday, when the European Commission economic sentiment index collapsed. The index saw the second biggest monthly drop since the survey began in 1985 – only October 2001 saw a bigger fall – and economic sentiment is now running at the lowest level since 2003. The survey showed that sentiment falls were widespread across both sectors and countries – Germany was not immune, while the drop in economic sentiment in Italy was bigger even than the fall post 9/11.
Today's worrying data release was that inflation accelerated from 4.0% to 4.1%, the fastest rate since April 1992. The ECB aims to keep inflation below 2%, so it clearly has a big problem. A few weeks ago the European bond market was pricing in another couple of rate hikes, although the wave of weak economic data this month has meant that rates are now expected to remain on hold. However, as the ECB demonstrated at the beginning of this month, it's prepared to hike rates, even in the face of a slowing economy. Another such move will serve to inflict even more pain on European companies, and would make me even more nervous about taking on a lot of European credit risk right now.

To be honest, I'm not that levelheaded in the presence of petits fours. If you're eating with me, I wouldn't advise turning your head when they're set down. Something in my makeup trumps rationality when desserts arrive. I will devour everything, regardless of whether I want it or not.
When I was a child and my family drove up to New York City from Philadelphia, my father always brought me to Yonah Schimmel's, a shop on the Lower East Side specializing in knishes, the ultimate nineteenth-century Eastern European snack food. Knishes are most commonly filled with potatoes, but there are also sweet knishes, and that's what my father ordered, because we were invariably coming from a lunch of pastrami and cream soda at Katz's Delicatessen down the street.
Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery essentially jump-started my career as a restaurant critic. I never liked the knishes there, and when I'd ask my father why we always came here, he'd just smile and continue eating. I went back recently to see if I would react differently, and I admit it was wonderful to be in the store. It hadn't changed.
The tables are scattered about randomly, as though they were set down in 1910, when the restaurant first opened, and not straightened since. The linoleum floor looks original, and the walls are crammed with an assortment of badly arranged press clippings and photos. It's as though a deranged serial killer had been hired as the decorator.
I don't want to be unfair, because the knishes at Yonah Schimmel's are warm and fresh, which counts for a lot, and they're famous, which means I could be wrong about not liking them. I had the cherry-cheese, which was cloying and reminded me of a throat lozenge. It was then that I realized that my father—born in 1915 and raised on the Lower East Side—was returning to Yonah Schimmel's because the knish was his madeleine.
The concept of the madeleine, to say nothing of the rebirth of the petite shell-shaped pastry itself, was brought about by Marcel Proust, a sickly writer who was inordinately fond of his mother and whose tribute to her madeleine is the Gettysburg Address of food writing. In part, his manifesto reads, "One day in winter, on my return home, my mother, seeing that I was cold, offered me some tea, a thing I did not ordinarily take.… She sent for one of those squat, plump little cakes called 'petites madeleines,' which look as though they had been moulded in the fluted valve of a scallop shell.… A shiver ran through me and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary thing that was happening to me. An exquisite pleasure had invaded my senses, something isolated, detached, with no suggestion of its origin."
Marcel was actually not much of a food writer, since he only talked about himself and not the madeleine, giving us no idea of how it tasted. Likely it resembled a pound cake in flavor, inasmuch as Proust's mother was Jewish, and to a Jew, a nice slice of pound cake evokes plenty—to me, late-afternoon noshes in neighborhood coffee shops.
These days, it seems, many men are seeking their madeleine, the holy grail of sweets, the dessert that most comforted them when they were children. (I'm not positive the quest is quite the same for women, who seem to be similarly reassured by Jane Austen novels.) The Pig's Dinner was not my madeleine—a man's madeleine by definition cannot be what he has never before eaten. For me, the possibilities are countless.
I loved saltwater taffy, particularly James' "Cut-to-fit-the-Mouth," every plump piece double-wrapped in paper with a polka-dot twist at each end, and each one carefully labeled, which was vitally important so you could avoid the weird ones. So many colors. So many choices—seventeen, to be exact. Since I always had to share with my sister, I always gave the bad ones, like molasses mint, to her.
Maybe the best thing about saltwater taffy was that labeling. Kids back then weren't like the kids of today. We had no choices in life, certainly none we could make about food, and saltwater taffy allowed us a sliver of self-determination, the right to eat whatever flavors we wanted in the order we wanted to eat them. (LifeSavers had five varieties, of course, but you had to eat each piece as it popped up. With a run of bad luck, you could be stuck with pineapple a lot.)
My mother unconditionally approved of saltwater taffy because it was wrapped twice, which she was convinced made it a sanitary and healthful product, although we kids weren't so sure. Sooner or later, all of us asked ourselves if there really was salt in saltwater taffy, and if there was, would it make us sick? I haven't preserved much from my childhood, but I still have one of the original barrel-shaped papier-mâché containers from James' that came filled with taffy and were designed to be used as banks. It has not appreciated in value as I had hoped—I recently saw one offered on eBay for $2.99—and I suspect it has minimum intrinsic value because of a design flaw. A kid had to be pretty stupid to keep his life savings stashed away in papier-mâché.
I have always loved nonpareils, discs of dark chocolate covered with white sugary dots, perhaps because of another deep-seated belief: There is chocolate and there is vanilla, and all flavors after those are basically ornamentation. They were my favorite corner-store candies, back then selling for a nickel a box.

On Midway Atoll, a remote cluster of islands more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent, the detritus of our mass consumption surfaces in an astonishing place: inside the stomachs of thousands of dead baby albatrosses.
The nesting chicks are fed lethal quantities of plastic by their parents, who mistake the floating trash for food as they forage over the vast polluted Pacific Ocean. For me, kneeling over their carcasses is like looking into a macabre mirror.

How Android Helps Avoid Awkward Social Questions
Iceland's population is part of a rather close family tree, which can make for some awkward social situations.

The Fest: Mardi Gras is back, baby! Beginning two weeks before Fat Tuesday itself, social organizations known as Carnival krewes coordinate 70-some parades with floats, marchers, and brass bands.
Party Central: Locals tend to stay in neighborhoods like Faubourg Marigny and the Lower Garden District, which are mostly intact post-Katrina. There's plenty of drinking, flashing, and bead-tossing in the French Quarter, too, but it tends to attract out-of-towners.
The Costume: If a drunken man can conceive it, it will show up on the street: A clergyman groping strippers, Elvis at any period in his life, two men in a bathtub.
Da Funk: Marching brass bands belt out hip-hop-influenced jazz and funk.
Da Drunk: Hurricanes, Hand Grenades, or anything in a "Go Cup."
Historic Twist: The origin of New Orleans's celebration dates back to 1699 when two French explorers, Bienville and Iberville LeMoyne, celebrated reaching the mouth of the Mississippi River on Mardi Gras day.
The Big Moment: When one of the most historical and popular social clubs, Krewe of Rex, rolls through the city on Mardi Gras.
The Hangover: Soak up the rest of the booze in your stomach with a New Orleans favorite, an overstuffed po'boy from Mother's (401 Poydras St. at Tchoupitoulas; 504-523-9656). This Central Business District institution is famous for their French-bread sandwiches filled with baked ham.

1052 to 95 that is a .09 acceptance ratio and it passes anyway. Ut ohhhhhhh time to change the government. Hide your kids as soon as you can. They will train them to come to your door to collect the guns cause they know it will be hard for you to shoot your own kids! The government will be able to develop spies, moles and snitches that would even rat out their parents. Directly out of 1984!!
i am not communist, nor am i particularly pro-communist, but seriously dont just label anything obviously anti-american communist. communism is not the polar opposite of democracy, and labelling anything offensive to yourself like that is simply the hate and dislkie talking.
that being said, i am also against this bill, as we cannot afford the costs to pay for it, and the language is vauge enough to scare me.
How many government controlled things flourish? Before we give this bill great praise, let's see what they do to GM, the economy, and the health care system. I trust NONE of them. In case you haven't notice our country is far left of center as in progressive.
Each day more of our freedoms diminish.
Take a look at H. J. Res. 5. Read it and ponder that one.-
I totally agree, but what can we do to stop this insanity? They aren't paying attention to what we want. I think it is time for another
march on Washington. Something to disrupt them and get them to stop and listen to the voters. This is no longer a government by the people, for the people, and of the people. Have you read "Common Sense." It's a must read. Uhhh, so i've seen no questions about who or what this "Corporation" (and yes it's always capitalized, go read the bill)
i.e. "Carrying out such other activities as the Corporation may prohibit"
Subtitle C of title I (42 U.S.C. 12571 et seq.)go look it's right there and all over the bill
what is this "Corporation", basically what are they referring to in the bill. If any one knows the respond to this comment and if know one knows then… well that's bad
try this out, I was talking to friends at a college doing the legal research for the Fed Reps… The submittal included this…" I don't know if the data was classified or not, as I was getting it straight from professors and grad students and some lawyers,,," But the words include things like: 1- Can be punishible with fines or community service, failure to comply could include forfeiture of assets no then but not limited to 3000.00USD, and or possible confinement of 30-90 days which will be paid for by the offender, and may include community, or professional service during the extent of confinement.
they had alot more stuff but this part was the one that scared me. Voluntary, yet can be punishible by fines or assets and jail!!! thats not voluntary, it's like the IRS, they say it's voluntary, but if you don't do it, you have the "option" to face penalty.
ladies and gentlemen welcome to 'USSA' when u cross the border u get a free green card and when u graduate high school u geta brown shirt and a prius! lololololololol has anyone ever seen V for Vendetta???
they have no use for the constitution obama thinks it doesn't hold any weight anymore new age thinking N.W.O.
I like how one of the failed amendments had something to do with Acorn…did anyone else notice that? So ACORN is able to have access to these funds without investigation into their fraud? If they really did nothing wrong, have them open their books and we can move on from it…
One more program to blow billions of dollars we do not have. Congress should be focusing on fixing the economy not passing these ridiculous
mult-billion dollar bills we can't afford. But then, when did this congress start listening to us. This is no longer a government by the people, for the people, of the people. It is a government by the government, of the government, for the government. It is time for term limits for everyone. Can't wait for the next election. It should be a blood bath for everyone up for re-election. It sounds like they took the fascism out of it. It's not forcing anybody to work, like with the original bill.
The key here is what ever the intent..the US Treasury is OUT OF MONEY….Stop Spending money you (Congress) do not have. Congress should volunteer to balance the budget.
Well a lot of you on here who are against this bill because it's some form or government institutionalism are forgetting about one thing, the MILITARY. I'm not sure why it is that so many people are against our government creating opportunities for young people to get involved in their community while turning the other cheek when it comes to the MIC.

What is a dysfunctional family? Well, there is a huge span when it comes to the term 'dysfunctional'. It ranges from mildly dysfunctional to completely nuts. There is really no guide when it comes to determining how dysfunctional a family is but, for the purposes of this article, we are leaning towards the 'completely nuts' end of the spectrum.
I have never seen any dads in the hub. Not even partners. The hub is usually a child-free zone too, a place of mothers in conversation while their children fend for themselves. This day there were lots of crying and distressed pre-school children who needed the attention of scattered lone parents, before their actual parent in the hub noticed.
For once the feed schedule you have tirelessly tried and beaten yourself up over when it failed, has started to stick giving your day some kind of shape. For once you feel like you have some control back. That your day is not just one long feeding session and that you have finally took a step towards some form of routine.
You tentatively get out of bed and as you take each ritual step into the nursery you realise that your steps are a little lighter and the quick sand you feel yourself walking through most days is now more like a muddy puddle. Your head feels, dare you say it "clearer" and the morning routine not as daunting.
As heart-warming and as exciting showing off your amazing new bundle can be it can also verge on the exhausting and encroaching as you find yourselves overwhelmed trying to fit in everyone's visits whilst also wanting to cocoon yourselves in a world of just you, your partner and snuggles with the newest member of your family.
There is no woman out there who has gone through the life changing and shit scary ordeal of bringing a tiny human, kicking and screaming into the world that can hand on heart say they have not thought at least once that they are losing their mind whether it be the result of one of "those" days or the early signs of post natal illness.
I'm ready to stop because I work full-time, which means I have to make time to pump breast milk during every single work day, and this is not easy. In the past year, I've been on a dozen business trips, which involve incredible planning and logistics to leave enough milk at home, and to pump and travel with dozens of ounces of milk.

Heitinga happy with move
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Everton's new signing John Heitinga admits it was a tough decision for him to quit Spanish football. The Toffees paid around £6million for the Dutch international as they beat the transfer deadline to secure his signature. Heitinga, currently on international duty, is looking forward to getting his Goodison Park career on track. "It was difficult [to leave] as it was my first year there," he told Sky Sports News. "I played every game and we were in the Champions League - but the feeling to play for Everton was big. "I have come to Everton to play in the Champions League and I will give everything for every game. "I am proud that I signed for the people's club. When I travelled to Liverpool, the first time I stepped onto the training pitch, I felt one of them. "It is a club with a very big history."

Okay, so i know i havent uploaded ANYTHING in a while and i DID promise i`ll train. But this is exactly what i count as training. Making Random Sprite Fight projects. Well, thanks to someone, i was persuaded to make a third part of Mario vs Luigi. Of course... Mario and Luigi seemed out cold but they werent. Just for a while.
I will also input this into YouTube as well. Goodbye SPHX1, you overloaded crap in 13 episodes!
As promised i`ll DO Season 2 but with such improvements as here. Everything bigger, better AND fancier. :3
But it`ll be more time consuming.
I also have a few projects i did in the mean time so i might as well upload them too.
Now, rate, review, and enjoy!!!! AND if you DO see any flaws, inform me.
Rated 1 / 5 stars
Kinda bugs me to say, but too much slow motion is very annoying and it makes me not want to watch it anymore. I think I would give it a 3 star without slow motion. Making it normal please? What I liked about it is the action, but I really makes me sad when I see nie action but slow motion which is making me tired and unwatchable. I give it a 1 star unfortunately.........
Its a very old project anyway, don`t worry about it. I know how to work on things like that now. C: Thanks.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This movie was just AMAZING! Loved the fighting scenes and Powering Up, but I didn't like how at the end Mario's Face turned into a big yellow smile.
Rated 1 / 5 stars
i think it was the best sprite battle ever!!!!but sorr i have to agree with ropedrink dont overuse slow speed but other than that i give u a 9/10.

India stands ready to support Myanmar's efforts in whichever way it can, President Pranab Mukherjee said on Thursday during a meeting with a delegation from Myanmar at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
A 23-member Parliamentary Delegation from Myanmar — led by U. Khin Aung Myint, Speaker of Amyotha Hluttaw (Upper House) — called on the President.
He said both Parliaments have a big role in steering and supporting cooperation for the mutual benefit of the people.
Commenting on the relations between India and Myanmar, Mr. Mukherjee said ties between the two countries are, "rooted in our history; generations of our people have travelled, lived and worked together".
The President said over the past year there have been a series of high level exchanges with Myanmar and these meetings between the representatives of people help increase understanding and enhance friendship.
The Leader of the Myanmar Parliamentary delegation said, "Myanmar, which is reviving multi-party democracy has much to learn from India. India has shown 'brotherly spirit' by assisting and providing training in Parliamentary matters."
He also pointed out that despite a large land and maritime border between the two countries, there has never been any problem between the two countries any where on these borders and expressed confidence that the visit of this delegation to India will further advance relations between the two countries.

NBC and 'SNL' targeted over Jesus skit. Do such ad boycotts work?
Sears is taking steps to keep its ads off online rebroadcasts of the 'Saturday Night Live' skit, after a conservative Christian group complained. Such ad boycotts do have effects, say media analysts – but not usually the intended one.
Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP
Los Angeles
Austrian actor Christoph Waltz may have just won an Oscar, but his recent performance on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" is drawing boos from conservative Christians. In an SNL skit, a mock movie trailer, he portrays Jesus as a bloodthirsty killer bent on revenge against Roman soldiers.
The skit, which aired Feb. 16, prompted Mississippi-based American Family Association to urge major retailers – Sears, JCPenney, and Kmart, among others – to pull their ads from NBC in protest of what the group calls "blasphemy." This week, Sears pulled its ads from the online rebroadcast of the original "SNL" show.
"We informed customers that it wasn't supposed to happen, and while going forward we may advertise on the broadcast, we've taken steps to ensure that our commercials do not air online exactly as they did in this situation," Sears said in an e-mail to the Monitor.

Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are running neck and neck in the home stretch of the 2012 presidential election.
Americans will speak to their leaders Nov. 6 in the presidential and congressional elections. Their message will affect how the lame duck session of Congress addresses sequestration, the looming cuts to the government budgets coming Jan. 2, even the continuing resolution and the debt limit issues.
What happens on Capitol Hill after Nov. 6 depends on how the election is interpreted – or spun -- in the public eye, said Paul Carliner, managing partner of Carliner Strategies, speaking Oct. 22 at a TechAmerica event. The theme of the event was the possible effects of sequestration on non-defense agencies.
At this point, he said, no great wave of support is emerging for either side. But the election results will show elected officials just how the electorate feels, which will affect their choices in the lame-duck session between the election and the January inauguration of the president.
Carliner has some experience with Congress. He is a former appropriations clerk for Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.). He and other speakers at the event offered some key things to look for after the election:
The tone of both parties' messages. Did Americans tell leaders to reconcile their differences or will Republicans and Democrats continue to stand apart from each other in Congress?
David Taylor, managing partner at Capitol Solutions, said lawmakers, particularly in the House where "compromise was a bad word" when the current members were elected in 2010, have found that rejecting compromise has only led to roadblocks.
In addition, Carliner said, neither side wants to be tagged as obstructionists and be blamed for problems. That also could drive the two sides together to a compromise.
When congressional leaders and the administration meet on sequestration. If President Barack Obama is reelected the meetings to handle the sequester will happen sooner than if Gov. Mitt Romney takes the White House, as he will first have to deal with transition matters, Carliner said. Romney will deal with the issues at some point, but "it will get very, very complicated as that clock ticks down to Jan. 2," when sequestration is set to take effect, he said. Romney won't even be sworn in until Jan. 20.
Who takes the lead in negotiations. House and Senate leaders can reach a compromise with the administration faster and quicker than if they bring along their whole caucus. But, Carliner said, they would risk getting too far ahead of their members and losing support to continue in leadership roles.
How they address sequestration. Congress is likely to split the sequestration into a short-term fix and a long-term fix, said Taylor, who worked as a Senate Appropriations Committee staff member and in President George H. W. Bush's Office of Management and Budget. A Romney administration may take 90 days to implement its approach to handling sequestration, the debt ceiling limit, which requires action by February, and the end of the CR in March. Congress may delay sequestration's effects, but it only complicates the other two unmovable deadlines, Taylor and Carliner said.
There are two wildcards too that will only further complicate a solution to sequestration, Carliner said. For one, there could be some ambiguity over the true winner of the election, such as happened in 2000. Another variable is how the financial markets react. Besides the situation in Europe, a perceived inability to address sequestration after the election could cause nervousness in the stock and bond markets.
Another factor plays into the whole situation, Carliner said. He said as of January 2013, almost 60 percent of members of Congress will have served six years or less. The length of service likely applies to staff members too, he said.
"You're dealing with a group that does not have a long institutional memory on how these types of big things done," he said. "So I think it will be messy, but it's certainly doable."

5 Graphics Superb and a Great way to get to know your PS4medees46 | 27/12/2013 | See all medees46's reviews (2)Graphics Superb and a Great way to get to know your PS4. More of a show game than anything else, however it really is a definite purchase for new PS4 owners due to its fantastic visuals alone, never mind the now perfected killzone gameplay
3 nothing specialtwenty7LIVES | 01/01/2014 | See all twenty7LIVES's reviews (5)I loved Killzone 3 so this was the game I was most excited for on PS4. I found this to be a big disappointment. The campaign felt monotonous and tiring, to the extent I didn't even bother finishing (I done 3/4) and the multiplayer was OK but didn't really wow me either. Graphically, I'd say this game is high end PS3, but not as good as the last of us or GTA5. rating this game in the middle because although it was inferior to KZ3 and didn't live up to expectations, it still did look pretty and play ok.
3 Great in placesMADSLC | 16/01/2014 | See all MADSLC's reviews (19)The first impression you get is that this isn't quite the KZ you are used to. The first level is awful. You are a kid following your Dad and have no control but to move. It is drawn out unnecessary and irrelevant. The next level - The Forest - doesn't look or feel very KZ and you get a bit wound up with using the companion that resembles Pantilaimon in the Phillip Pullman Dark Materials trilogy. After this level, you don't have to use it much which is great and on hard level, the sheild comes in handy.It's not until about level 4 or 5, when you cross the wall, that the graphics start to look better on account of the improved art work and with it the game. There are still too many levels where your gun isn't required though.I do recommend hard level as it is more tactical although when you play the massacre sections ie 100 or so enemies in one room, it gets overly tough.The latest KZ on the Vita is better than this one I am afraid so if you have a choice I would go with that and hopefully the next KZ will get back on track.
2 Loved Killzone 2 and 3, poor multiplayer on thisacespag | 12/12/2013 | See all acespag's reviews (9)I loved the Killzones on the ps3 so picked this up at launch and the multiplayer that I loved on its predecessors is shocking, they have changed it to be like Call of Duty but to be honest if thats what you want why, wouldnt you just buy Call of Duty? Great graphics and an average story mode hence two stars but should have been a whole lot better.
3 if you can get it cheap worth a go786sufz | 16/10/2014 | See all 786sufz's reviews (8)graphic is great story play was ok predictable at times but still worth playing if you can get it cheap enough

LaunchPad 2011 (aka Space Science Camp)
Most of you know that I really love outer space. Almost all of my books have some kind of observational astronomy in it. My newest book, First Day on Earth, (coming out in November 2011) is a Sci Fi(ish) book. And my current work in progress, The Tin Star, is a two book series that takes place on a space station around an extra solar planet. So, you know, finding out that there was a workshop to teach writers about space science… well… I could not apply fast enough.
And so last week I went to LaunchPad 2011 (aka space science camp.) It was the most fun and brain breaking thing ever.
LaunchPad is the brainchild of astronomer and sci fi writer Dr. Mike Brotherton (Spider Star and Star Dragon) It's been funded by NASA and the NSF and its goal is to teach writers (of sci fi) space science so that the science is correct in your fiction. (I know, right? AMAZING!)
It takes place at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. (by the way, we all know Laramie has a bad rap. But it's a sweet cute place. Totally adorable. For example, i saw a pair of victorian boots that I am coveting and also the cowboy saloon and dancehall which we got to sneak into and look at its amazingness – including saddle seat bar stools and a buffalo that snorts smoke. I was sad the saloon was closed for summer.)
Cowboy Saloon and Dancehall. I know you are two-stepping in your mind right now.
We were there for one week. Every day we had a lecture on space science. For a space dork like me it was amazing. I learned so much.
My fave things were the lecture on Dust.
Learning about Stars. Learning about space medicine. Dark Matter. Spectrograph lab.
I even liked cosmology. (although it nearly broke me.)
We had two observing nights. I so desperately wanted to see M51 because there is a supernova in it right now. But we couldn't see it from where we were. A stupid streetlamp was in the way and the weather was not cooperating. But we saw clusters (open and globular) Saturn. M82 galaxy. The Ring Nebula. I admit, many of these things looked like smudges. But they were very. cool. smudges.
We also went to WIRO (Wyoming InfraRed Observatory)
It was way up high on Mount Jen… Gorgeous. There was a lightning storm that surrounded us below. We could see bolts in the sky.
Lovely grad students Rana and Jessie let the few of us stay later help to open the telescope door and engage the telescope.
Dani opening the observatory doors.
Me in front of WIRO (pic by Liz)
The late night WIRO crew – Chris Rowe, Dani Wolff, Me!, Liz Gorinsky, Shelly Li (Todd Van der Mark took the pic)
I enjoyed the fine company of all of my fellow classmates. And I know that my reading list got huge. I think you should probably go read them all, too. Liz Gorinksy, Greg Fishbone, Mike Albo, KC Ball, Shelly Li, Todd Vandermark, Christopher Rowe, Stan Schmidt, Jennifer Willis, Danielle Wolff, Henry Strattman, Deborah J Ross , Shariann Lewitt, An Owomoyela , Pembroke Sinclair, Eric James Stone
And if you write Sci Fi, or long to, you should totally apply to LaunchPad next year. (And if you are science organization, (hint hint NASA and NSF) you should continue to support them.)

The facility was a bit old. Furnishings and the double deadbolt locks were interesting.
The pool has a lot to offer for all ages. It is very close to downtown LaCrosse and lots of parking available. The breakfast and coffee was handy. The restaurant had a live band on Saturday night which was very entertaining and convenient.
The door to the bathroom was pape rthin and looked like there was water damage to the bottom of it. The bathroom sink was clogged and the nozzle to turn on the shower was broken so it was difficult to turn it on but eventually we got it.
The staff was amazing
for --- a night you still have to pay extra to go up stairs to get breakfast??? And walls are so thin you feel like the neighbors are doing their activities in the bed next to you.
Originally had us in a room with a king when we needed two beds
Location. On site pool, restaurant.
No free breakfast or coffee bar.
friendly personnel
hotel did not inform us of the $25 incidental hold charge at check in or check out
Found trash under the bed
Noise from cars on street kept waking me up. Next time I will ask for a room at the back, away from the street.
a very clean and neat motel
It was clean, very quiet. Almost of all the staff was very helpful, one of the front desk was friendly but did not know now to extent a day when the room was available or did not want to do it. I ask the person that came on after her and she completed the request in less then minute. The bed I had was comfortable, which is hard for me to fine with my back. For me good location easy to get were I needed to.
The biggest problem I found is there is no elevator, which make it harder if you have large luggage or for anyone that has problems with stairs. I could not find a printer to print out my boarding pass and some direction I needed.
Rooms outdated. Left old heating units in and just installed new ones over. Pipes exposed in bathroom. Mickey Mouse cabinents around the refrigerator. Common hallways need new carpeting, Extension cords exposed all over. Needs new paint. Everything is just like traveling in the 80's. The employees were very cordial and helpful and the rooms were basically clean, just really run down. Very quiet for being on a busy intersection. For a family to be comfortable we will spend $20 more a nite. Good enough for an occasional travelor needing a nites rest.
Horribly outdated: TV, A/C and shelf, bathroom fixtures and no paint job in bathroom in years, Old rusty metal heating unit attached to bathroom ceiling that was disconnected but not removed. They required a $1.50 charge for a safe I never used. Refused to refund it. Only two towels when I made reservations for three. Had to ask front desk clerk for third set. She only gave them to me after questioning me. Breakfast cheap, pillows cheap. I will NOT stay there again. Rather pay the $20 more to get a nicer hotel and room.
The staff were friendly and efficient , the location is great and easy to find, the continental breakfast is good for the price. The linens in the room were clean and updated.
The desk laminate and facets need to be replaced. It was quite difficult to get the shower on and off due to the older facet hardware.
Very friendly staff. Free breakfast - small selection (mostly bagels/muffins/cereal) but well stocked. Best of all I want to say that my boyfriend left his cell phone at the hotel, and didn't realize until after we had driven an entire day. I called the inn and they had it! They told me just to call the next morning to speak with the manager, and arrange to have it sent to us. It was such a relief to have an honest staff on your side! I would definitely stay again, just because of that!
Only down fall was the beds were a bit uncomfortable. I woke up a couple times during the night. The pillows were great though!
General location off I-90 highway.
No elevators so I had to hire party to move luggage to and from room for being partially handicapped. No Wyndham points credited because I booked through you upon checkout.
The location was good.
It sounded like the people above us were going to fall through to our floor. No refrigerator in our room.
Very nice staff. Quick check in. Left our key in the room with our ID's. After a brief making sure it was our room we got in with out a hasle.
Monica was a the front desk and absolutely amazingly helpful!! Great bed.
I do like to workout when I stay and the fitness room could be bigger with a couple more pieces of equipment. Offer more at Bistro too.
The location was good for my needs , close to the highway.
Per the advertisement I expected much more. There wasn't the wow factor I expected to have. The bathroom was a let down And the on site lounge as well, the staff wasn't much there. When I pay the cost I did for this room I expect 3 things . Super clean, An amazing bed, and a great shower, the bed is the only thing I care to recall.
The beds were comfortable.
There was no parking, we drove around the lot four times to find a spot. When asking the front desk clerk about parking he was rude and sarcastic. That really set the tone for the rest of our stay, we won't be back.
Clean fresh linen, smoke free rooms, very comfortable beds, friendly staff
Window looked out on industrial setting
Friendly staff.
Scrambled eggs would be really nice with the free breakfast.
Breakfast was excellent....dining room staff very friendly.
No tub on the first floor...matress too soft...room rate too high for a short one night stay.

We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
