Oscars 2013: Michelle Obama presents best picture award (video)
WASHINGTON (AP) - Michelle Obama made a surprise appearance at the Oscars, opening the envelope that contained the name of the Best Picture winner, "Argo."
Appearing via streaming video from the White House, Mrs. Obama said all of the nominees demonstrated that "we can overcome any obstacle."
She said that message is "especially important for our young people" and thanked Hollywood for encouraging children "to open their imaginations."
The first lady was introduced by Jack Nicholson, who noted that the Best Picture trophy is usually announced solo.
Mrs. Obama wore a silver, art deco-inspired gown by Indian-born American fashion designer Naeem Khan. It was the same dress she wore for the Obamas' dinner with the nation's governors at the White House Sunday night.

(Dr. Val Giddings, vice president for food and agriculture for BIO, today issued the following statement regarding USDA's proposed new national organic standards):
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 07, 2000)--Everyone will welcome clarification of what it means to be 'organic.' But it would be most unfortunate if in providing this long sought clarification USDA were to lend its support to those who seek to vilify foods derived from other, demonstrably safe and valuable production methods.
Both USDA and FDA policy clearly acknowledge that foods derived from biotechnology are as safe as any other type of food. In fact, foods derived from crops improved through biotechnology can offer nutritional benefits not found in other foods. Biotechnology allows us to produce foods that contain more proteins, vitamins and minerals and less fat.
Varieties of crops like canola that are now under development have more beta-carotene. Fruits and vegetables that may help prevent cancer and heart disease by delivering more of Vitamins C, E and others are also in development. And finally, biotech foods have the potential to eliminate allergies by making it possible to identify and remove known allergens from foods, resulting in allergen-free peanuts and rice.
It must be noted that a definition of organic that excludes foods derived from crops improved through biotechnology has no basis in science. At the same time it must be recognized that crops improved through biotechnology are vastly improving the sustainability of conventional agriculture and in some cases can give farmers the opportunity to use less pesticide.
We look forward to providing these and other facts to USDA during the comment period.

Backup and Restore of MSSQL via command line
Hey all, I have MS SQL 2008 R2 SP2 Developer at work and MS SQL 2012 Developer at home. When I created the DB initially at home, I made it "2008 compatible", however when I try to restore the .bak to my work, it states "Specified cast is not valid". Not sure what it means, as Google searches have only yielded speculations that a datatype in the home DB isn't compatible with the work enterprise manager. (even though I specified 2008 compatibility at home).
Aside from that, I was wondering if it was possible to do a BACKUP / RESTORE command from the command line? I currently move work project files to/from work/home and I have a batch file that movs project files, creates/deletes folders as needed, but I can't just copy/overwrite MDF/LDF files, I'm sure.
Thanks in advance for the help.

As the title says, ask me anything. So long as it doesn't compromise my safety, reveal information related to the staff here, or deals with other people. I promise I'll try to tell the truth. Keyword: try.
Updated 20th July 2012 at 11:21 AM by Contrary
What do you think about N?
See here.
Do you like coffee? If so, how do you take it?
I don't like coffee. But one time I did drink coffee, thinking it was coke. That was a nasty surprise. o_0
Would you marry a platypus?
No. The males have poisonous spurs and the female platypus aren't as interesting, due to lacking poisonous spurs.
:I How about Stunfisk?
Alright then. What's your favorite beverage?
Are you serious about voting for Dunsparce for the next SSB game?
Originally Posted by Ebail Alright then. What's your favorite beverage? Hot chocolate. No, root beer. Probably root beer. Originally Posted by Ghetsis-Dennis Are you serious about voting for Dunsparce for the next SSB game? I don't think the results of that poll will have any actual effect on the choices for the next SSB game. But I voted for it because the idea of Dunsparce being in the game is hilarious.
Do you like Iris?
Yes. I used to hate her with a passion, but I started liking her around the time she got Emolga.
Originally Posted by Karamazov Hot chocolate. No, root beer. Probably root beer. You're damn right root beer!
Do you love Cilan? :P
Cilan's okay. I used to love him in the beginning, before he got really grating. I do like him, but not as much as I like Ash or Iris.
Why haven't you given me an infraction yet?
I haven't caught you breaking any rules on the blogs, @Lithuania; Break a few rules and I'll see what I can do.
Why did you used to hate Iris prior to Emonga? And why don't you like Dawn back when DP was airing?
@Gliscor'd; At first I hated her design. That hair was just awful. Her attitude drove me up the wall, and I loved it when Ash stopped caring about her insults. Plus, her getting attacked by Pikachu was well-deserved, I only started liking her at the Emonga ep because by then, every single member of her team was a derp. And I hated Dawn because she bored me. I also really disliked her Pokemon, aside from Pachirisu. I actually did start to like her for a while, but then the Buizel-Aipom trade happened. I wanted Ash to have Ambipom. Why couldn't he trade AFTER Aipom evolved? Why couldn't Ash just trade one of his Tauros and keep both Buizel and Aipom? Why couldn't he just steal Buizel? Anyway, my rage for her started to fade. But then Aipom evolved. :V I started to like her again, but then she beat May. (Who was my favorite PokeGirl at the time.) So yeah, every time I started to like her, something happened to make me dislike her.

A wreck in Trigg County Tuesday afternoon sent two women to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Kentucky State Police say 39-year old Kelly Hendricks of Princeton was southbound on Rocky Ridge Road around 3pm and was crossing Cerulean Road. Ms. Hendricks drove into the path of 42-year old Jason Morris of Cadiz, who was unable to stop and ran into her passenger side.
Ms. Hendricks and her passenger, 30-year old Ashley Hendricks of Cadiz, were taken to Trigg County Hospital, before being transferred to Vanderbilt.
A spokesperson at the Nashville hospital says Kelly Hendricks was treated and released, while Ashley remains hospitalized in stable condition.
Morris went uninjured and everyone involved was wearing a seat belt.

Update: This article was written for the 2013 game which has now ended. While this article isn't specifically written for the 2014 McDonald's Monopoly game, many of the strategies in the article will likely still be effective when the next game rolls around. We do plan to write another article for McDonald's Monopoly 2014, and we will link it here when it is up with all the latest details of the new game.
This summer comes with a surprise. McDonald's Monopoly usually appears in the fall, but in 2013, it has come early. There are a lot of people who play this game and wonder how they can increase their chances to win. One of the bonuses of it starting early is that it

The quad screen — also known as the quadruple marker test or simply the quad test — is a prenatal test that measures levels of four substances in a pregnant woman's blood:
Typically, the quad screen is done between weeks 15 and 20 of pregnancy — the second trimester.
Results of the quad screen indicate your risk of carrying a baby who has certain chromosomal conditions, such as Down syndrome. The alpha-fetoprotein part of the test can help detect neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.
If your risk level is low, the quad screen can offer reassurance of a healthy pregnancy.
If your risk level is moderate or high, you might choose to follow the quad screen with another test that's more definitive.

"ASAP's work over the last decade has focused on helping make sure farms can continue farming and that everyone has access to local foods," says Charlie Jackson, ASAP's director. "Our approach has been to create supportive environments in which farms, businesses and consumers can innovate and try new things."
ASAP offers marketing assistance and training to area farmers. The group also connects chefs and foodservice buyers at schools and hospitals with the farmers who best suit their needs. And ASAP's decade-long Local Food Campaign helps all of us reconnect with our food. As part of the campaign, ASAP publishes the Local Food Guide, a free print and online directory of the area's family farms, tailgate markets and businesses that use local agricultural products.
ASAP's Growing Minds Program works with area schools to foster the next generation of local farm supporters. The program provides training to farmers, teachers, chefs, school nutrition staff, parents and other community members, as well as resources like seeds, farm field-trip mini-grants and lesson plans to provide the education that helps children know where their food comes from. That helps them develop lifelong healthy eating habits. Part of that hands-on work includes cooking demonstrations to introduce children to the wonders of locally grown foods — more than 700 children have already been served through ASAP's Farm to School Cooking Program this year.
ASAP also organizes the Asheville City Market and coordinates the Mountain Tailgate Market Association, a network of 22 tailgate markets in counties throughout WNC to provide locations for farmers to sell their products. What does that mean for you? A chance to meet and engage with growers. See the ASAP-provided list of tailgate markets elsewhere in the guide.
And every summer, ASAP hosts the Family Farm Tour — a weekend where WNC farms open to visitors and offer enriching on-farm experiences.
That approach seems to be working. "There are more farms doing more things than ever before in our area, and more per capita than just about any place in the country," says Jackson. "Businesses are opening to feature local ingredients. Farms are expanding and new farms starting. Farmers are trying new things."
And that benefits the entire food community, whether farmer, chef, shopper or diner.
To learn more about ASAP's work in the region, visit asapconnections.org or call 236-1282. Search our online Local Food Guide at buyappalachian.org.

Full description for Augustus
He found Rome made of clay and left it made of marble. As Rome's first emperor, Augustus transformed the unruly Republic into the greatest empire the world had ever seen. His consolidation and expansion of Roman power two thousand years ago laid the foundations, for all of Western history to follow. Yet, despite Augustus's accomplishments, very few biographers have concentrated on the man himself, instead choosing to chronicle the age in which he lived. Here, Anthony Everitt, the bestselling author of Cicero, gives a spellbinding and intimate account of his illustrious subject. Augustus began his career as an inexperienced teenager plucked from his studies to take center stage in the drama of Roman politics, assisted by two school friends, Agrippa and Maecenas. Augustus's rise to power began with the assassination of his great-uncle and adoptive father, Julius Caesar, and culminated in the titanic duel with Mark Antony and Cleopatra. The world that made Augustus-and that he himself later remade-was driven by intrigue, sex, ceremony, violence, scandal, and naked ambition. Everitt has taken some of the household names of history-Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Antony, Cleopatra-whom few know the full truth about, and turned them into flesh-and-blood human beings. At a time when many consider America an empire, this stunning portrait of the greatest emperor who ever lived makes for enlightening and engrossing reading. Everitt brings to life the world of a giant, rendered faithfully and sympathetically in human scale. A study of power and political genius, Augustus""is a vivid, compelling biography of one of the most important rulers in history. "From the Hardcover edition."

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! I have purchased MANY travel mugs over the years...even the ones that "claim" to keep the drinks warm/hot but was usually disappointed. On an impulse purchase while getting my usual at Peet's I saw this mug on the shelf. After using it for 2 weeks I hope that they never discontinue it because I will continue to purchase this throughout the years and have already purchased 4 more as gifts. It definitely keeps my coffee/tea hot for 2-3 hours and very warm for several hours after. It meets the advertised 6 hour warm expectation. Thank you Peet's!!!

I've made a lot of attempts at thermoses over the years, but always either had ones that didn't keep coffee hot, or that couldn't be cleaned thoroughly enough to prevent taste issues.
This travel tumbler solves that. Holds the equivalent of 2 cups of coffee, and the coffee stays hot for 2 hrs, and warm without losing its taste for 6.

VI.—Nos. 65 to 79 QUEEN STREET Condition of repair. In the Council's ms. collection are: Footnotes
This row of cottages is characteristic of the old appearance of Queen Street, which was evidently the ancient thoroughfare down to the river, occupying somewhat the same relative position in the parish as Queen's Road West (otherwise Paradise Row, or Royal Hospital Road) in Chelsea. The buildings probably date back to the 17th century. They are of warmcoloured brick, two storeys high, with rooms within the old tiled roof, lighted by a row of pleasant dormer windows. No. 79 has a higher roof than the others, approximating to the Mansard form with hipped ends. The windows throughout are wood casements arranged in two lights with wooden bars, excepting some small single-light casements on the first floor, which retain their old lead glazing. In one opening a sash window has been inserted.
The cottages are not in good condition.

Grad student Zach Hartwig, who helped organize the trip, characterized the meetings as "extremely productive but only the first steps in a longer-term advocacy effort in support of the fusion energy sciences."
Bipartisan support for the domestic fusion program was expressed by staff from numerous Senate offices, including Massachusetts Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Scott Brown (R-Mass.), who have previously written letters of support for fusion and have agreed to continue working with the fusion community on the issue. The MIT students attending the congressional visits spoke of the preparation and meetings as a terrific learning experience in science advocacy and an insightful glimpse into the politics of federally funded science.
MIT students Harold Barnard (NSE, G), Dan Brunner (NSE, G),Evan Davis (physics, G),Ian Faust (NSE, G), Mike Garrett (AeroAstro, G), Christian Haakonsen (NSE, G), Zach Hartwig (NSE, G), Nathan Howard (NSE, G), Bob Mumgaard (NSE, G), Brandon Sorbom (NSE, G) and John Walk (NSE, G) were joined by undergraduate Taylor Ratliff from the University of Texas at Austin, who is involved in fusion research on Alcator C-Mod.

Kitchen Cousins
Tune In
April 16, 2014
7:30 AM e/p
The Kitchen Cousins leave no stone unturned as they tackle an old, beat up brownstone kitchen with no counter space and limited storage. Homeowners Shari and Carlito are tired of their impractical space and call in the cousins to see what they can do with it. Anthony and John immediately see the potential, but before anything can happen its got to be taken down to the studs. Then they build it back up, blending the old original brick walls and yellow pine floors with the new as they create a space with beautiful, modern Italian cabinets and a stainless steel island.

Is there an adapter to use a SNES controller on the Wii?
Last edited by unit3uk; 12-30-2006 at 10:23 AM.
Id usually say try liksang (there was loads on there)
but Sony raped them to death
so ytry playAisa
It will be in development (smartjoy make most)
But a mega drive pad will be better for fighting games
If there is an adaptor, after you pay for that plus shipping, you're better off just getting the classic controller which feels a lot like an SNES pad. I highly recommend it if you're a VC enthusiast.
Slight prob with it
4 face buttons 4 badly placed shoulder buttons
I found a site called RetroZone where you can preorder NES and SNES controller adapters for the Wii.

The catch 22
by Michael Kavka on Apr.08, 2013, under Microsoft
As I've been studying for the 70-410 Microsoft exam, I've come to the realization that I'm not ready, and I might not ever be.
Technology is a wondrous thing. It can take care of mundane, repetitive tasks, but only if you set it up and use it properly. It can also take over your world and control you, not quite Matrix style, but its getting there. Those of us that work in the IT field, be they developers, Network Admins, Penetration Testers, or any other number of fields, we do our best to keep up with the constant change of technology, not just for our own sake, but for societies. Someone has to know how to tame the technological beast. Certifications are a way of showing we understand the technologies out there, and have some degree of mastery over them.
Recently, there has been a challenge put forth called 90 Days to MCSA, through Microsoft learning. the goal is to get your MCSA be it in SQL, Server 2010, or Azure, in a 90 day period. I love learning (why else get into the IT field), and I love a good challenge, so I have embarked on the Server 2012 track. Over the last 10 days I have been studying for the Installation and Configuration exam (70-410) with a book from Microsoft press geared toward it. I also have a lab set up at my house for testing and doing the exercises. this should be simple you would think. Study the book, do the exercises, pass the exam. Theoretically, that is how it is supposed to go.
The problem with theories, is just that. They are theories, and real world can be indifferent to them. As I have almost finished the book (all 1600 pages of it) and done the exercises, I honestly do not feel much more ready to take the exam than I did before I started. Some of that could be because of the time frame from start to finish, which I will supplement with some other resources available to me. Some of it is that I don't have access to any practice exams to gauge how I do on the various parts, and where my weaknesses are. Another portion is due to the face that while Server 2012 is new, and so are the exams, the books to study for it were released back in October, which means they were written while the software was still in Beta, and I have found issues with some of the exercises due to that fact (I won't get into how many typos were in the book itself). This also leads me to a lack of confidence in taking the exam. When the official material is problematic, one has to wonder what they are actually in for.
The final issue I run into is that I like to know that I can pass the exam itself before I take it. I know others out there are like this also. We don't want to go into that testing room and come out with a fail, especially with how much the exams cost. So we tend to push it off, time and time again, until there is new technology and new exams to take. In the mean time we get really good with the technology, but have no way of showing that little piece of paper to our employers, even though in the end it shouldn't matter.
The question is though, when do you jump into the exam itself?
And the fun begins
by Michael Kavka on Mar.29, 2013, under Microsoft
The nice thing about training in a test environment is you can blow things up and not have to worry about it. Its more fun when the training exercise you are doing blows up in your face and you have to go from just learning mode to troubleshooting mode just to complete the exercise.
I do love learning, and I do love a challenge. I decided to take the 90 Days to MCSA challenge on figuring it would be good motivation for me to upgrade my Microsoft Certifications. I also figured that going with books from Microsoft Press, that recently came out, I would be even better off, since they would have the proper information. With all of this in mind I started off going through chapter 1 and doing the migration exercise at the end of the chapter. Piece of cake, everything went exactly as it said it would in the book. Each step worked beautifully. Coming off this success I went into chapter 2 ready for what it had to throw at me.
After reading through everything I started the first exercise which consists of installing Server 2012 Core and then Converting to the GUI. The Core install had no issue, no problems. I get to the steps to do the conversion, and the problems started. Following step by step I went to the powershell and typed:
Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra –Restart –Source c:\mountdir\windows\winsxs
To convert to a minimal GUI system, and wound up stalling out at 68% and then failing with the following information:
Install-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.
Installation of one or more roles, role services, or features failed.
The source files could not be downloaded.
Use the "source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location,

False No Failed {}
Being the IT guy that I am, I start Googling, and find not a lot of information, or at least solutions for this problem. I figure, OK it is something with the mount directory, so lets just try and get what we need from the online source. This time I get a Could not Download from source error on the fail, again at 68%. Now we are at a point that doesn't make sense. I can understand that after some updates, there might be an issue doing the switch from the DVD (and yes I even used the DVD itself as the source directly with the same problems), but not able to do it from the online repositories, like ti should, this has me baffled. I decide to try and delete the mountdir directory I had created in case it was looking at that at all, and of course, a bunch of files cannot be deleted due to access issues. Yeah, I know that at this point I should just reinstall server core from the start and try again, but I now have a huge challenge on my hand, and can't let it go so easily, even though it does push back my studying schedule.
I then decide to run another round of updates on the system to see if that is why the online repositories are not able to update the system as they should be able to. I also go against what the book says, and do all updates and not just the recommended ones. Well, that of course fails also, which brings me to the point of making the decision to wipe and start from scratch or continue finding an answer to the problem. I decide to try one more thing and from a recommended link in a post on the Microsoft forums I type in:
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:ServerCore-FullServer /featurename:Server-Gui-Shell /featurename:Server-Gui-Mgmt
This comes back with an error 0x800f0906 which says the source file cannot be downloaded. A quick Google search for that error comes up with it relating to the .NET framework 3.5.1. I figure, enough is enough for now and decide to reload Server Core from scratch and try to do the switching without doing any updates from Microsoft. That's the lucky thing about it being a single test machine that I have nothing to worry about on. Start again from the beginning. I am sure Microsoft never intended for this process to take over 3 hours to get running properly, but again, that is the joy of new technology, you never know what can happen.
While starting form scratch, I did a bit more research to find that this is a known problem. After the reload, and before setting any server information or doing any updates, I was able to go through the steps for switching to the Minimal Gui without the error. The big question I have is why would Microsoft make it so difficult to do the switching the first time between Core and Gui when it is one of the great new features they have touted?
Getting Even with the curve, maybe ahead 90 Days to MCSA
by Michael Kavka on Mar.22, 2013, under Microsoft
One of the major reasons I love the IT world is that its always changing, and changing relatively quickly. That means there is always something to learn.
I love learning. Anyone in IT seems to have this same love, since solving problems is learning in its purest form. then there is the learning for Certifications, which are supposed to show our IT chops. Microsoft recently released the new MCSA Server 2012 exams, and in short order Michael Bender (MVP) has issued the 90 Days to MCSA challenge. So I have decided to throw my hat into this challenge and see if I can pull this off.
There is a sign up area for this, which allows you to then participate in a community area (as compared to just read) so that everyone can help each other along the way. They give a wiki for each exam with not only what Microsoft Press books are recommended for each exam (some of the books are not even available yet), but also links to Technet articles that will help you study. The Technet links are broken down by exam objectives, making it easier to know what you are learning, and how it relates to everything.
The first exam is the 410 which is installing and configuring Server 2012. The nice thing is that there are books for this exam already. I am using the Microsoft Press book "Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 Training Guide" instead of the Exam Prep, mostly because the Training guide seems to go more in depth. Of course one of the things recommended is to have a lab to get hands on experience, and for the first time I have a machine I can do that with. For those that can't, there are ways with the Virtual Academy from Microsoft to get hands on experience now also. For me though, I looked at the system requirements and found that my 5 year old machine I just decommissioned, which is an Athalon 4200 x64 dual core with 4GB ram, is powerful enough to run Server 2012. The fact that Server 2012 has low machine requirements is a definite plus for a lab setting. I still wouldn't use the machine for production purposes.
Over the course of this challenge I will blog some progress reports, and interesting tidbits that I learn along the way, so stay tuned my friends!

Said by New York Times:Self-Inflicted Wounds(Published: February 15, 2005)
"New evidence about the torture of prisoners by American soldiers and intelligence agents - and by foreign governments working secretly for the United States - is appalling for all the obvious reasons. This kind of brutality violates both American law and international treaties. It endangers American soldiers who may in the future find themselves captives of a hostile nation. It debases the nation at home and abroad. "
Well,what do you feel about that?Sometimes I wonder why people will do so contemptible and shameless things,just as the same things happened in the second World War?

'Power of Industry' will propel Hannover Fair 2001
Hannover, Germany—Twenty-five halls will be "in play" to accommodate this year's edition of the "world's largest industrial technology trade show" on April 23-28, 2001. An extra benefit is the fairground's upgraded infrastructure, completed for Expo 2000, the World's Fair. Hannover Fair 2001 combines six "fairs" in its "Power of Industry" theme.
Hannover, Germany—Twenty-five halls will be "in play" to accommodate this year's edition of the "world's largest industrial technology trade show" on April 23-28, 2001. An extra benefit is the fairground's upgraded infrastructure, completed for Expo 2000, the World's Fair. Hannover Fair 2001 combines six "fairs" in its "Power of Industry" theme. The largest are Factory Automation and Motion, Drive & Automation.
Factory Automation (FA) expects some 1,500 of the fair's approximately 7,000 total exhibitors. It will stake out 75,400 mes. Machine vision systems, imaging methods and industrial PCs will also be shown.
Now firmly in FA's sector, Industrial IT/Software (Halls 14 & 15) will highlight how information systems tie manufacturing to the business enterprise. Besides ever-present application software, products will include wireless communications, data transmission, operating systems, development tools, IT hardware, and Internet/intranet services.
Miniaturization, motion
Also part of FA, MicroTechnology (Hall 7) is said to be Europe's first-ever show for micro technology. This "futuristic" sector combines ultra-miniature electrical, mechanical, optical, biological, and chemical elements into practical microsytems and embedded applications.
Motion, Drive & Automation (MD&A) expects 1,300 exhibitors in 60,400 mrs, etc.), internal combustion engines, hydraulics, and pneumatics (pumps, motors, cylinders, transmissions, and water hydraulics).
Other "fairs" at Hannover Fair in 2001 will be: Energy (Halls 11-13) with 800 exhibitors; Compressed Air Technology, Factory Equipment & Tools (Halls 5 & 6) with 600 exhibitors; Subcon Technology (Halls 2-5) with 1,900 subcontracting-related companies; and Research & Technology (Hall 18) with 600 exhibitors focusing on technology transfer.
U.S. presence at fair
Though it always makes a strong showing, U.S. presence at Hannover Fair may appear slightly diluted because European divisions or subsidiaries of U.S. firms often manage the exhibits. Other U.S. companies exhibit independently or join the USA Pavilion organized by Deutsche Messe AG's subsidiary, Hannover Fairs USA (HFUSA, Princeton, N.J.).Two USA Pavilions will open in 2001: Factory Automation (Assembly, Handling and Vision) in Hall 15 and Subcon Technology in Hall 4. HFUSA will also organize a special group pavilion for the Power Transmission Distributors Association (Chicago, Ill.) in Hall 26.
Among exhibitors in these pavilions are KB Electronics (Coral Springs, Fla.), a drive specialist for ac/dc motor speed control; Tol-o-Matic (Hamel, Minn.), a manufacturer of electropneumatic motion control products; and VMIC (Huntsville, Ala.), a producer of embedded computer products and CPUs for open architecture buses. For more U.S. companies in Control Engineering 's coverage area, see an expanded version of this article at www.controleng.com.

Shipments of industrial laser equipment and systems increased more than 30% to $173.1 million in 3Q00 compared to a year earlier, according to data from 46 companies reporting to the Laser Systems Product Group (LSPG, McLean, Va.) of the Association for Manufacturing Technology. Shipments of Nd:YAG lasers increased during this period, while CO2 decreased slightly.
Tradeshows in-person contacts unmatched: DMAG
A growing issue for Hannover Fair, and all industrial trade shows, is encroachment of the Internet. Deutsche Messe AGs (DMAG) view is that direct contacts at a tradeshow and seeing exhibits in person remains an unmatched resource, even in the Internet era.
"Engineering companies concede that virtual platforms and products and services offered on the world-wide web are welcome additions to their range of marketing tools, but for sheer impact and information value nothing can beat a concentrated and tightly focused presentation at a major trade fair," states DMAG.

Nintendo has been stiffed for nearly a decade; the last Kojima Productions game to appear on a Nintendo platform was , a remake of the original for the GameCube. Eight years later, Nintendo fans are finally getting another taste of Snake. It's a remake, but it's of arguably one of the best entries in the series. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D is based on the PlayStation 2 original released in 2004. Much has changed since then, and Snake Eater has been updated to cater to contemporary expectations. It's very much the same game, but the updated controls and visuals make this remake on the 3DS the best version of the game to date.
Snake has a tendency to err on the side of caution.
For the uninitiated, you play the part of CIA operative Naked Snake (known as "Big Boss" in later games) on a covert mission in Soviet territory. Your mission is to destroy a mobile missile launcher, the Shagohod, capable of firing nuclear payloads at the United States from any terrain. As you maneuver Snake toward his goal, you infiltrate enemy territory using your environment to shield your presence from the watchful gaze of the enemy.
If you're stealthy enough, you can achieve a Zen-like state of sneakiness, for lack of a better word. Should you fail to move undetected, alerting the enemy to your presence initiates a chaotic scramble that destroys any semblance of focus you may have conjured. It's a rewarding and challenging experience that can be handled in numerous ways. Snake has a wide variety of tools at his disposal, and what you do with them defines your experience with Snake Eater. Whether you choose to tiptoe up to your enemies, slit their throats, and store them in lockers, or simply masquerade as a cardboard box on its way to the weapon hangar, is entirely up to you.
Snake Eater is less a clever subtitle than a literal description of the emphasis on survival. Your stamina meter depletes over time, decreasing your aiming capabilities and effectiveness in battle. You dine on flora and fauna to recharge said meter, including mushrooms, rats, fish, and snakes, among others. You're never too far away from food, and you can carry more than your fair share, so thankfully, the hunt is far from a dominant gameplay element. In the same vein, you have to treat wounds with a variety of medical supplies. Broken bones require different treatment than an infection does, so you need to keep track of how to treat the various types of maladies to avoid wasting precious resources. Scouring the environment for food and performing self-surgery keep you grounded in a survival frame of mind, but you perform these tasks within menus, sometimes in the middle of a gunfight. For as much realism as these elements evoke, their implementation ultimately holds them back.
Decisions, decisions.
The militaristic nature of the characters and setting might lead you to believe this is an action game, but it tends to lean farther into the adventure category. You do lots of exploring and sneaking, but there are times when these elements take you too far away from the act of engagement. These moments of stagnation are Snake Eater's biggest letdown. You often find yourself (particularly in the first half of the game) wondering when you'll get to do anything other than briefly avoid detection on your way to the next cutscene. In a lot of ways, the gameplay is often overshadowed by the storytelling segments. Due credit goes to the excellent cinematography and voice acting in the game, but the ratio feels lopsided at times. Boss fights are by far the most engaging sections of Snake Eater, melding action and the often comical exposition from your enemy in a beautiful way.
Snake Eater's controls are adequate. Overall, the game lacks the fluidity found in modern games. Snake's stiff nature is something that takes getting used to, but eventually, you will. Your instincts are reined in by these limitations, but the game calls for very deliberate actions on your part, so this makes sense from a design perspective.
