Wiwi's Adventures 3 is a very worthwhile platformer/shooter for $1 on Xbox Live. Even when you're in a car or jetpack, the game is surprisingly comfortable to play. Most decent platformers are either pleasant or challenging, but Meruvia Game Studio did a helluva job of making this game a pleasant challenge. The lead developer promises to add more characters and stages if enough people buy this indie game — so buy it already.
The visual style of Wiwi's Adventures 3 is reminiscent of Earthbound — straightforward and quirky at the same time. I wouldn't call it retro, as the graphics tend to have smooth edges. The game sports a few neat details, such as signs that point you in the direction of pirates (the game's principal enemy) and eyes looking out of closed doors. The graphics are more uneven during the boss fights but otherwise get the job done.
The music is mostly forgettable, but the sound effects give the game personality. In particular, the hit detection sounds are hilarious. They sound like downbeat samples from old rap songs, and if you take consecutive hits, the samples keep on coming (thankfully, your life bar only goes down by one when this happens). The death sound is also distinct and, dare I say, enjoyable.
I can't think of another game that has all of the gameplay mechanics of Wiwi's Adventures 3. You choose from three characters. One is Wiwi, a boy, and the other two are fire-breathing lizards. Each character has a different pace and jump height (think Super Mario Bros. 2), but all of them have infinite fireball shots, which is awesome. You also have the traditional option of jumping on top of enemies to kill them, and every character has a double jump. The attention that Meruvia Game Studio paid to the jumping mechanics will not go unnoticed: you have remarkably flexible and smooth control over your character while he is in midair. When you make a mistake in this game, it's usually on you. You get three hits per life, but you'll find hearts to refill your health here and there.
A fatal mistake in Wiwi's Adventures 3 is rarely frustrating or worrisome. Through each level, you collect tons of different orbs that give you an extra life when you reach 100. Throughout the first few stages, you'll likely rack up a dozen or so extra lives by doing this. Those lives will be put to good use once you get to the meat of the game, which includes insane car rides — even your car shoots bullets — and surprisingly fluid jetpack mechanics. The game even has a couple of scrolling levels, with a wall of spikes following you the whole time. Yeah, spikes. However, unlike the overrated Sonic the Hedgehog, obstacles like spikes usually don't come out of nowhere. Wiwi's Adventures 3 takes more skill and less memorization than Sonic the Hedgehog, making it superior to the Sega standard.
(And speaking of Sega games, I've read a review of Wiwi's Adventures 2 that compares the game unfavorably to Alex Kidd. For the record, Alex Kidd is a huge piece of shit. Go back and play it. The punching and jumping in that game are embarrassingly off the mark. Comparing it to Wiwi's Adventures 3 would thus be an insult and a lie.)
Wiwi's Adventures does have a few annoying quirks. First, the game never says you have to press B (the cancel button) to get off a ladder. While having to press B to get off a ladder is perhaps weird, it quickly becomes second nature, but I had to figure out the mechanic myself after dying several times on a scrolling stage. There are few things more embarrassing than getting killed by a moving wall of spikes because you can't get off a damn ladder. Speaking of scrolling stages, stage 9 has a couple of clearly unfair parts. One part of the level allows you to take one of two paths, but you don't have the ability to tell that one of the paths is a dead-end and, therefore, inevitable death by spikes. Another part of the level rains spikes from the ceiling while you're trying to jump onto a moving platform, and I could almost swear there's no way you can clear this without taking a hit. Fortunately, the level ends immediately after this debacle.
The glaring weakness of the game is the lame boss fights. While not insultingly easy like the Dr. Robotnik fights in Sonic the Hedgehog, the boss fights in Wiwi's Adventures 3 are sterile. It's disappointing to say that an otherwise fun and rewarding game ends on a low note.
I could see myself playing through Wiwi's Adventures 3 again, especially if the developer updates it with new stages. But the replayability of the game is a question mark, as I never found any secrets during my first playthrough. There is no multiplayer option, which probably wouldn't have been good anyway.
This year we've seen some good platforming/shooting games on Xbox Live Indie Games, but I believe this one could be the best. Wiwi's Adventures 3 is better than Rad Raygun and Vintage Hero. Now pay the $1 so I can play more levels.
Editor's Note: From the game's manual and credits, you can tell the lead developer of Wiwi's Adventures 3 is a really nice guy. So I feel bad about my comment on the game's title after learning from the end credits that "Wiwi" is the nickname of the developer's son. Man, I can be an ass.

What is the physical meaning of magnetic length $\ell_B=\frac{\hbar c}{e B}$ in 2D electron system under magnetic field? When $\ell_B \longrightarrow a$, where $a$ is the lattice constant, does that mean the Landau sub-band is nearly flat?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Physics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for active researchers, academics and students of physics. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The physical meaning is the length of electron trajectory along which this electron gains phase factor comparable with $2\pi$ from the magnetic field. Normally, it is rather large. When is is as small as lattice constant, it means that the magnetic field is comparable with electric field in the atom which is rather rare situation.

Fire on board Condor ferry in Weymouth sparks alert
Updated 6:35pm Thursday 1st May 2014 in News
A FIRE on board a Condor Ferries vessel in Weymouth Harbour this afternoon sparked a major alert.
Crewmembers rushed to extinguish the blaze, which flared up after a fuel pump failed on a classic car parked on the car deck. Fuel sprayed onto the deck and was ignited.
The Condor Vitesse had just arrived from the Channel Islands and was alongside at Weymouth when the fire started.
No damage was caused to surrounding cars or to the boat, with all passengers and cars on board able to leave the boat safely.
A spokesman for Condor Ferries said: "We are pleased to report an excellent response this afternoon from the highly-trained crew of Condor Vitesse, as they promptly extinguished a small fire on the car deck.
"The fire had been caused by a fuel pump failure on a classic car, resulting in some fuel spray on the car deck, which had ignited. The ferry was alongside Weymouth harbour at the time.
"The swift actions from the Master and crew meant there were no injuries to guests or crew and no damage to property. Cars and guests were able to disembark safely - and without delay - from the ferry."
It is believed that the ferry will still be able to sail as normal tomorrow.

I purchased blackout curtains that are 108" long so I was originally concerned that this rod would hold the weight. It comes with a middle bracket and works great. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and appearance of this rod and my new blackout curtains and may buy them for more rooms.
This curtain rod was nearly a foot shorter than stated, the box also stated it was 96 inches long and it was actually closer to 80 inches. I exchanged it and the same issue.
The rod is strong and looks very nice. It came with a support bracket for the middle but the rod was strong enough that we didn't need to put it up. I liked it so much that I purchased two additional rods in different sizes to replace some of my older curtain rods in my home. Excellent buy.
Since the rods screw into the wall, you need a screwdriver if you want to take the drapes off. I have no problems with this but I think it was kind of pricey for what I received. But that's what happens when you shop late at night on the internet....
Does what it's supposed to. Even with Overstock pricing, it seemed expensive, especially when you realize the finish is painted on - but I couldn't find this style of rod any cheaper and it works great. The curtain curves around and lays flat on the wall. Added bonus that you have some adjustment capability (up to one additional inch) on the depth of the rod from the wall.
It was easy to place my order. The delivery was sooner than I thought it would be so no not long to get my order. The curtain pole was straight forward to put up. I'm very pleased with the thing.
As advertised, the rock fits close to the wall, and was easy to mount. Our son, using a power drill, mounted it within 30 minutes, start to finish. We placed it over our double sliding patio doors, to hold double layered extra wide white sheers, also purchased from Overstock.com. You will need both a flathead and a Phillips screw driver to mount this rod.
the curtain rods worked perfectly. I am happy w/my purchase.
I purchased this "Barricade" rod in a difficult-to-find 96"->144" length; but this size 52"->96" wasn't available at that time / 2 wks later, there it was THANK GOD! substantial rod / easy to install / very discrete, elegant solution.
This rod works really well with the thermal blackout curtains that I purchased as well. Wraps around to completely block out all light. Very easy to install.

Service List
Gosling Painting provides residential and commercial interior painting services. Walls, ceilings and trim are standard items to be painted. Window frames, door frames and baseboards are all considered trim. We do plaster repairs as well. Minor repairs are very common and are included in the price. Large holes and excessive damage are repaired for a charge. Brushwork is required where rolling is not possible and detailed items to be painted will be priced appropriately. Quality work requires quality paint. Preferred paint suppliers include Glidden, Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. We will match ANY sample color.
All surfaces are prepared properly with necessary hole filling, sanding, plaster repairs and/or priming. There are many situations in which special treatments or primers are needed to effectively coat a surface. For instance, converting a wall from an oil-based paint to a latex paint requires the previous surface to be primed with an oil-based primer in order to accommodate the change. Severe stains may require use of a shellac-based primer. A professional painter will accurately determine the products and techniques required to accomplish the desired result.
Calculation of the appropriate price for painting services relies on the amount of brushwork, the size of the rooms being painted and the number of rooms in total to paint. Larger orders incur greater discounts. The brand and line of paint used may affect the price. There are additional charges for faux finishes, wallpaper removal, painting of cupboards, shelves, doors, closets, banisters, radiators, mouldings, extra square footage, priming and for major plaster repairs, which will be included in the estimate. The price and timeline are agreed to beforehand. Upon signing of an agreement, this price and timeline will not change. The price promised is the price charged unless new work is added by the customer later. Prices include the cost of labour, proper preparation of surfaces, all supplies, taxes, paint and primer.
Expert painters provide conscientious service. Discounts are made for large projects and loyal customers. The more you can tell us about your project, the more accurately we can estimate what the final price will be. Call or email us today for a free estimate.

Official Teaser for the Feature-Length documentary "A Film About Coffee" www.afilmaboutcoffee.com
I recently was privileged to get to do my first shoot with the always great Texas Monthly magazine. It was for the "Reporter" section and was about two historical books about the comanche, the settling of Texas, and the demographic changes of our state. It is a very interesting article and we had a great time producing the image for it. Thanks again to TJ for calling me for the assignment!
The Whitebox Studio is a Co-op studio that I have been wanting to create for the past few years. And guess what, it is now real! We have been open for about 2 months now and it is great. So nice to be around a bunch of other creatives and having a nice large studio to shoot in.
We are having out opening party soon so keep an eye out in your inboxes!
Recently I was contacted by American Photo about a story they were doing for their On Campus editions and the always great DJ Stout referred them to me for an image to open the story with. A couple days later they emailed me again to use one of my Veggie Beard shot for the Cover. Turned out great. Thanks again DJ and American Photo!

Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson was on 1280 The Zone in Salt Lake to talk about the league as well as the BCS with TCU who is on their way to a money game.
One of the most interesting news out of this was that Dish Network is probably never going to get The Mtn on their network. He said Dish plays hard ball and mentioned that the YES Network which is the New York Yankees network is not even on Dish and that has been on for seven year. He said there is a small glimmer of hope because they have a new CEO, but Thompson is not confident.
The other interesting thing is that Comcast is most likely going to buy GE which owns NBC Universal sometime next week. The reason that is a big deal is because NBC Universal would spin off with Comcast who would now own 51% of the new company. A note within that deal could possibly lead to Mountain West games on NBC, because of the new company that would all ready include Versus and The Mtn and then now NBC sports. The odds of that are a long shot, but it is a possibility.
Now, go ahead and listen to the interview.

My favorite Cardinal of all-time...seriously
Hajj Turner was always one of my favorite Cardinals during his years here, and it's good to see he's doing well. The AP or somebody is reporting:
"University of Vermont men's basketball assistant coach Hajj Turner has been promoted to associate head coach, athletic director Robert Corran announced Tuesday."
Hajj was always positive, bright, articulate and hard working and I always thought he could have been used more effectively than he was (poor knees). Good to know that this intelligent young man is advancing in his chosen field.
Perhaps one day he'll return to the Cardinals — we'd all be the better for it if he did.

We offer the programme on a residential basis, tailor-made for your recovery.
In Ayurvedic medicine, detoxification is carried out by using some of the Panchakarma therapies. It is a step by step process of treatments for the complete removal of toxic materials from the body.
These therapies include
According to conventional medical practitioners these toxins are free radicals in the body. A free radical is a particular type of atom or a group of atoms that can damage cells and impair a person's immunity systems. The purpose of consuming antioxidants is to neutralize the harmful free radicals in the body.
Although both the practitioners of conventional medicine and those of traditional medicine agree that the body has its own natural processes for eliminating and neutralizing toxins (via perspiration, urination, exhalation, and bowel movements), they disagree on the question of whether those natural systems are capable of handling the nature and amount of toxins in today's world.
Precisely because the body's natural cleansing systems are no longer up to the task, proponents of detoxification say everyone should detoxify at some point. They support their argument by listing the various symptoms of toxicity which include headache, fatigue, congestion, backaches, aching or swollen joints, digestive problems, allergy symptoms, and sensitivity to chemicals, perfumes, and synthetics. Others list constipation, hemorrhoids, mood changes, ulcers, psoriasis, and acne as common symptoms. By cleansing the body of built-up poisons and not adding more to the mix, we reduce the stress on the immune system and therefore promote healing and good health. Specifically, advocates of detoxification therapies claim increased vitality, reduced blood pressure and blood fats, and improved assimilation of vitamins and minerals.
In Ayurvedic medicine detoxification is carried out by Panchakarma therapies. It is a step by step process of treatments for the complete removal of toxic materials from the body.
Medicated oil massage,
Steam bath,
Snehapanam ( Intake of medicated ghee ),
Purgation ( Virechana ),
Medicated Enema ( Vasti ),
Errhines ( Nasyam ),
Intake of detoxifying herbs,
Diet etc.
The therapies and medicines are chosen after considering the Dosha level of the body by a qualified Ayurvedic medical practitioner.

ALEXANDRIA, La. - If you're a cat lover, you'll want to head on over to the Best Western in Alexandria for the Louisiana Hayride Cat Show this weekend.
More than 130 of the felines are on display and are competing for "best in show" at the all-breed cat show.
Experts tell us that cat shows differ from dog shows, because it's more of a "beauty contest." They're not run in a ring or judged on agility, but rather on how well they are presented and groomed.
And, if you're not looking to compete with your cat, it's still a great opportunity for the public to learn more about the breeds if you're looking to buy.
"Well, if you're looking to see a specific type of cat that you've never seen in person - say a Sphinx or a Russian Blue," said Larry Johnson, manager of the show. "You have different breeds that you can actually see in person. People know about Siamese and Persians, but you get to see them in their full coat and they're full wonderful display as to how the breeders present them."
Prizes will be given out throughout the weekend for cats competing in the show. The cat show will run again Sunday, starting at 9 am.

Percent Distribution of Households by Type and Country: 1980 to 2006
The Statistical Abstract files are distributed by the US Census Department as Microsoft Excel files. These files have data mixed with notes and references, multiple tables per sheet, and, worst of all, the table headers are not easily matched to their rows and columns.
A few files had extraneous characters in the title. These were corrected to be consistent. A few files have a sheet of crufty gibberish in the first slot. The sheet order was shuffled but no data were changed.
The tables that were changed (this is table 1304):
0166 0257 0362 0429 0445 0446 0459 0461 0462 0464 0465 0466 0467 0469 0479 0480 0481 0482 0483 0484 0485 0486 0487 0559 0628 0629 1144 1227 1231
This dataset consists of a table of 84 rows and 11 columns.
Data are generally for the entire year, but in some instances they are only for a particular month within the year
- May include unmarried cohabitating couples. Such couples are explicitly included under
married couples in Canada, Denmark, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, and Sweden. In Germany,
cohabitants are grouped with married couples beginning in 2000. In other countries,
some unmarried cohabitants are included as married couples, while some are classified
under "other households."
- Children are defined as unmarried children living at home according
to the following age limits: under 18 years old in the United States,
Canada, Japan, Denmark, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, except that the United
Kingdom includes 15-, 16-, and 17-year-olds in 1981 and 16- and 17-year-olds thereafter only
if they are attending school full-time; under 25 years old in France; and children of all ages in
Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
- Includes both family and nonfamily households not elsewhere
classified. These households comprise, for example, siblings residing
together, other households composed of relatives, and households made up
of roommates. Some unmarried cohabitating couples may also be included
in the "other" group. See footnote 1.
- From family-based statistics. However, one person living alone
constitutes a family in Denmark. In this respect, the Danish data are
closer to household statistics.

Just a warning for anyone who has installed the Panasonic Lumix software that comes with the camera You may find it will hog your resources and give you all sorts of problems such as a program called Pheobe that is trying to close when you try and shut down, as well as hanging in the "Windows is closing" screen The answer is to uninstal all the stuff that was on the disk and do without it

I have what seems to be the same software The camera was a Lumix DMC-727 I didn't notice anything wrong at first and then the pc started to slow down and when you tried to shut down you got the box "Phoebe.exe is not responding" box I looked everywhere for the program but without any luck I then checked out Google and found a site that had various post's on it and the advice was to take off the Panasonic software it certainly worked for me it may be it only affects MS Windows XP WHICH IS MY OS

I have not had a problem with Panasonic Lumix software. I have run it on Vista for some years. I cannot find phoebe.exe on my system. Are you sure that you don't have a virus?

This may be tired and outdated now but I wrote it after the NFC Championship and wanted to share it with more Seahawks fans. I'm a Jaguars fan but I've been a huge fan of Sherman for years and admire the Seahawks defense and organization, not trying to spam just want to share it. Let me know what you think.
I was in the back row of my plane early Tuesday morning – a connecting flight to Boston, via Las Vegas – when I heard my Charlotte based flight attendant go on a disturbing rant about Richard Sherman.
"I'm just personally offended," she muttered in her thick southern accent. "He better be fined, I'm going to write a letter."
I knew what she was talking about immediately. Had I not watched any form of media beyond the NFC Championship post-game interview however, I would not have known.
I saw the interview live and I thought nothing of it. I have been involved in football as long as I can remember; trash talking is a part of the game. Upon hearing the now infamous interview with Erin Andrews, my only thought was that my long time favorite defensive player –who just made me a lot of money- was expressing himself as a competitive football player.
I have admired Richard Sherman particularly, and the Seahawks defense, for years as a student of the game.The Seahawks run a unique defense that would intrigue anyone who has at least an above average football IQ, and Sherman is the ringleader; a tall bruising cover corner rather than the prototypical short speedy one.
As I listened to this stereotypical, ignorant, southern woman talk, I realized it would take a person who truly has never had any real involvement in football to make a big deal of this interview. I also realized how big of a deal the Super Bowl is. If this had happened in the Wild Card round, this woman would not have known about it. It would not have gotten anywhere near the media attention it is getting.
Let's flashback to Week 11 – when my favorite stewardess' home team beat the Patriots – and Panthers icon Steve Smith had a little bit of trash talking to do after the game. Smith called Patriots cornerback Aquib Talib "another notch in his bedpost," and famously told him to "ice up." Do you think this woman – who is from the city the Panthers actually play in – took issue with that? Do you think she even heard about it?
The Steve Smith rant was a big story but not even close to it in the same way Sherman's interview is. It was taken as trash talking, which is a part of football. The Panthers won the game, Steve Smith played big, and he earned the right to run his mouth. America understood.
America did not understand this time around because Richard Sherman was following up a conference championship game, not a regular season game. There was also a much broader, lower football IQ audience – such as my southern flight attendant.
She ranted about it for what seemed like forever to her fellow flight attendants. Again, I was in the back row and she was apparently unaware (she said many other dumb things the entire flight) that everyone in the back row could hear her ramblings in the flight attendant lounge. While she spoke of Sherman being a "thug" and writing him letters my friend next to me realized what was going on and had to remind me that we were on a plane and I couldn't say anything to her. It was difficult.
This is not even to mention the new development that Sherman was congratulating Crabtree on a "hell of a game," and Crabtree reacting by hitting him. Crabtree isn't a "TV guy" though so he was probably just being nice and trying to avoid any audio of him being recorded.
Sherman responded to critics on Wednesday saying that calling somebody a thug is "now the accepted way of calling somebody the "N word." He is right in a way. My Southern flight attendant friend was absolutely thinking a lot of words she didn't say out loud. That's life. If you don't believe this, you're wrong.
Sherman is not a thug. People hear "Compton" and think thugs and gangs immediately but it's not 1992 anymore. Compton isn't an solely an awful gang ridden area anymore. As someone who has lived in LA and has been to Compton recently, I can attest to that. Anyone who has lived in LA can attest to that. Anyone who isn't ignorant can attest to that. Sherman does not even sound remotely like a thug when he speaks. Thugs do not typically articulate that well, nor do they graduate from Stanford. If you have ever met a gang member, you know that Richard Sherman is far from one.
I hope that woman does write Richard Sherman a letter. He probably won't read it but I really hope he does. And I hope he responds to her the same way I did when she was reading the life-vest instructions.
"Excuse me, I have a question. Shut the fuck up."

Cordele-- Damaged roads and washed out bridges weren't the only things left by the storms that pounded Crisp County Easter weekend.
Several graves flooded causing the caskets to float to the top. Now family members are shocked to find out they will have to be responsible for any repairs to the graves.
Crime scene tape marks ten graves in the Westview Cemetery. One of those belongs to Joe Ann Kerr's mother-in-law. "It was just devastating because I had seen it in '94, but I never thought it would hit Cordele. Then I went home and I had nightmares," said Kerr.
The caskets didn't completely surface, but water forced them about a foot out of the ground. "I know it rained and rained and rained and all that, but it had to be a reason for it to push them up that easy," Kerr says.
"There's not a creek nearby. All we could figure is that we got so much water for the past two weeks," says Sheriff Donnie Haralson. "The vault actually filled up with water and the caskets came about that far out of the ground and they came up from the foot end."
Haralson says this the first time anything like this has happened at the cemetery. Water was pumped from the graves, allowing the caskets to settle back down in their graves, but some of them may have to be re-buried.
Something family members will have to pay for. "It shocking to know that nobody is responsible for this," she said.
Nobody is responsible because no one is claiming ownership of Westview Cemetery. Sheriff Haralson says it was left from an estate years ago, and now belongs to no one.
Kerr says having the families foot the bill is unacceptable. "A lot of them the other family members are dead, so who's going to see about those. Some of them are out of the state and you can't contact them, so who's going to see about those," Kerr says.
Kerr says she's glad her father-in-law's casket wasn't harmed, but is hoping the local governments will step in and help provide a permanent way for her mother-in-law to rest in peace.
Sheriff Haralson says GEMA will not offer any assistance because there is no threat to public health. He says the city and county governments will look into whether they'll be able to help the families offset the cost of the repairs and re-burials.

In Defense of Decadent Holiday Foods
March 27, 2013 at 3:07 pm , by Amelia Harnish
We've seen quite a few stories this week offering tips for sticking with your diet during the spring holidays. But doesn't that defeat the purpose? Easter and Passover are all about family time, fun and most importantly, food. Worrying about your waistline at Easter dinner or beating yourself up over indulging in a chocolate bunny can totally ruin it. "Food is intertwined in tradition and celebration, and that's totally okay," says Sally Kuzemchak, R.D., and frequent LHJ contributor. "It's important to acknowledge these are special foods that mean something to us, and it's good to enjoy them."
Yes, exactly. We say forget the guilt and go for it (with some moderation, of course). Here are a few tips for getting the most out of your indulgences this week.
Savor your favorites. If you look forward to your sister-in-law's famously rich macaroni and cheese on Easter every year, why change it? "I am not a fan of lightening up traditional foods or favorite family recipes," Kuzemchak says. "Enjoy your favorites, but get back to your usual eating habits the next day."
Save yourself for the right dessert. Eating too many Cadbury eggs or handfuls of jelly beans can make you feel gross and tired rather than satisfied. "Instead of pillaging the bowl of pastel M&M's, save it for the homemade pie or allow yourself a good dark chocolate bar," Kuzemchak says.
Drink to your health. 'Tis the season for Manischewitz! If you indulged in the traditional four glasses at your family's Seder, worry not. It's just one day out of the year. "There are antioxidants in wine," says Kuzemchak. "But moderate drinkers get the most benefits."

Food of the Week: Pretzel M&M's
June 18, 2010 at 3:08 pm , by Khalil Hymore
First it was Q.Bels. Now it's Pretzel M&M's. Have you tried these yet? If not, you must! M&M's newest flavor is winning rave reviews around our offices lately, and we're not the only ones who think so. The salty, sweet, chocolaty center housed inside the classic M&M's candy shell is what makes this new snack our FOOD OF THE WEEK!!!
Wonka's Back! And So Is The Golden Ticket
February 23, 2010 at 4:57 pm , by Rachel Shippy
Remember Wonka candy from back in the day? Well they never really went away… but now the sweetmakers once known for such classics as Bottle Caps and Laffy Taffy are all grown up and rolling out their new line of premium candies called 'Wonka Exceptionals' – what a makeover! We caught up with the folks from Wonka at New York's own candy wonderland, Dylan's Candy Bar (fittingly) to try some of their new creations. Although we loved sampling while we were at Dylan's (who doesn't want to try new candy while sitting at a table made of gumballs?), our real field testing was conducted back at the office—do you think this means the Editors of LHJ might have a candy problem? The real fruit juice taste and sour finish made the Pomegranate Fruit Marvels my personal pick (the snozzberries taste like snozzberries!) but based on how quickly they disappeared from my desk, I think the Scrumdiddlyumptious Chocolate Bar (pictured) won the fan favorite thanks to its toffee, peanut, and cookie pieces scattered throughout.
With Wonka's new 'Feed Your Imagination' approach, you can't NOT feel like Charlie as you bite into a big bar wrapped in iridescent, zainy paper (the packaging is as much fun as the candy!)… plus there's a chance of finding 1 of 10 golden tickets that Wonka is distributing behind the wrappers of their new 'Exceptionals' chocolate tablet bars and bags of minis. Rather than a trip to a chocolate factory, golden ticket finders win a trip around the world with their loved ones while thousands of secondary prizes are being awarded to those who find a purple ticket. If you want to start your hunt for a ticket now, 'Wonka Exceptionals' are available at Dylan's Candy Bar, and will begin hitting stores nationwide on March 1st. Prizes or not, we had a great time trying Wonka's new premium candies because they stay true to what we all love about the original story—it's fun with a dash of fantasy.

Town Square
Street Light Antennas?
Original post made by Richard on Sep 22, 2006

I think they're part of either a partial wireless (WiFi) install, or technical test, for "first responder" (police, fire, etc.). A friend of mine has noticed that "police" and fire" access points show up on his computer as access points. He can't use them, because they're password protected.
I've heard that they *may* also eventually be used for comunity wireless access, but I have no confirmation on that.
In any case, they're WiFi antennae.

They are detectors put in place by Palo Alto's elite in order to monitor residential activities. These detectors will alow the upper division to see if you doing non conforming activities such as drinking budweiser, watching NASCAR, acting all 'Sacto' with a tank top on and gelled hair, etc.

"to see if you doing non conforming activities such as ..."
Its about time.
My neighbor has been watching Wrestlemania with his curtains open.
Talk about social decay, I need some of those detectors over here.

I don't usually get involved in guessing trades or anything but I would love to see Michael Cuddyer on this team. He is definitely overpaid (making $10.5m) but the Twins would be willing to pay part of that if they were getting a decent prospect or two. Again, I wouldn't give up any of our top tier prospects but I really don't think it would take one to get him.
Cuddyer crushes lefties, you can expect an OPS over .900 but he can play both corner outfield spots, 1st base, 3rd base and has played some 2nd . For a team with such little offense I think Cuddyer would be a nice upgrade

HILLSDALE ¢ The ninth annual Taste of Autumn event was held by the Friends of St. PeterÆs Free Clinic at the Hillsdale College Dow Center Saturday night.
Organizer Kristin Lucas said guests always have a great time mingling and trying the various delicacies from local restaurants during the fundraising event.
ōWe had some new places this year with some different things to taste,ö Lucas said. ōI think the food gets better every year.ö
Proceeds go toward running the free clinic, which serves those who are uninsured or underinsured in the county. More than $30,000, including sponsorships, was raised at the event.
Approximately 20 area businesses brought samples of their finest to those who purchased tickets for the event. Though attendance was a little down from previous years, Lucas said organizers were comfortable with attendance numbers.
ōWe knew some other things were happening, but we had to schedule it when the facility was available,ö Lucas said.
According to Lucas, the crowd that comes to the annual event not only wants to support the clinic, they also like to eat out and they look for places to frequent.
ōThis is a crowd that likes to go out,ö she said. ōThey wouldnÆt be there if they didnÆt like good food.ö
One of the many items offered was hummus from Grab & Go Sahara Deli, a new vendor this year.
ōThey ran out early because people were trying it so much,ö Lucas said.
The only limitation, she added, is that restaurants have to bring in food that is prepared ahead of time, so running out can sometimes happen. But, many find the event is a great way to advertise.
ōIÆve had several businesses report that theyÆve already had results of people coming into their businesses after trying their food at the event,ö Lucas said.
During the event, a large quilt made by the Sewing House Quilters group was raffled. Clinic director Jill Pavka said the quilt drew a lot of interest, raising $3,400 in addition to the event total.
ōThe event is something fun we do each year,ö Pavka said. ōWe really look forward to doing it and our supporters enjoy it as well. ItÆs a chance to say thank you to everyone involved.ö

Hello Arctic Ice Hockey,
I know I've been around on a few threads recently, but haven't formally introduced myself. I am a contributor from Anaheim Calling. I'm currently running a series about potential trades with all 29 teams, it's something to pass the dead time for us right now. I've made inquiries into Bogosian around here, because I've wanted to acquire him for a while. I did my best to come up with a deal that might be agreeable to both sides, but I think I went overboard in my demands for picks. I don't think it's necessarily realistic, since everyone here seems intent on keeping Bogosian. However, I thought it would be an enjoyable exercise and maybe a good way to pass time during the summer. Here's a link to the story.
I won't make you increase my traffic just to see it though.
Jets get: Peter Holland, Bobby Ryan, Hampus Lindholm, the 26 pick
Ducks get: Burmistrov, Bogosian, the 12 pick and the 42.
I believe the 42 is your second round pick, and after looking at this trade a few times, I think the draft picks tip it a little too far towards the Ducks, but I'm a Ducks fan and that's what happens when fans do trades, right?
Best of luck to Winnipeg over the summer.

Number of ratings 3 / Average Grade: A Submit a correction
Brincefield was an all around great professor. He taught the subject well and in an interesting manner. He has a smooth historical J.R. Tolkien kind of way of carrying himself. This class was my personal favorite of the 4 ENG's I took.
The workload is reasonable and he gives adequate time for completion of papers. 1-2 quizzes every week, but they are fairly short and easy if you have read the assignments. He is responsive to emails. He gives helpful examples and explains concepts clearly in class. Overall, a very good professor.
Great Instructor! Was scared to take this course but he helped make it very enjoyable! All stories are gone over in class, so you don't have to worry about ALWAYS ready every assignment! He is very pleasant and is there to help if you need it.

truly really honestly, I do. filter is my absolute favorite band. I can't say it's because I love ALL their music, cause I don't, but the single songs I DO love, I love to tiny little crazy broken pieces!!! I've been a fan since… about a year ago. I had been hearing "take a picture", "hey man nice shot", "trip like I do", and "where do we go from here" on the radio for ages… I had just never heard the name "filter" before. which is odd, if you think about it. anyways, bought "title of record" first, in the throes of a mighty "take a picture" obsession, as I'm sure at least SOME of you out there have experienced… but then picked up "the amalgamut" after going through something similar with "where do we go" and d'you know what?? it's good. it is really, REALLY good. as far as sound goes, I've gotta say, it's the best filter work by far. richie's… *cough* I mean… richard patrick's voice has improved immensely since the days of "short bus". not to say "short bus" is bad, it's just… not as pretty-sounding. well, I still can't honestly say I love filter for the lyrics, but if you take the time to sort them out, I'm sure there's some meaning in there… I'm just too lazy to find it myself. "you walk away", the opening track, has a good hard rock sound, not to mention the coolest techno-y interlude thingy I've EVER heard. "american cliche" is equally rock-y, but borderlining annoying. "where do we go from here" is probably the best dark/sick song ever created… totally rocks my socks. "columind" is a teriffically crunchy piece of metal, but I'm just not seeing what's so great about "the missing"… maybe I just hate ballad-y things… I'm not sure that's even a ballad, but oh well. "the only way (is the wrong way)" is WITHOUT A DOUBT MY ABSOLUTE MOST FAVORITE SONG BY ANYONE EVER. yes, even more than jimmy eat world. it's just so… sunshiney. and cool. v. blue and yellow. hehe. it's nice 'n spunky, a little screamy, and just rockin' enough to fit in with the rest of this album. TOTALLY love it. um… I'm tired, and I wanna go to bed now, and the only other song on this album worth talking about is "god damn me"… just gorgeous. truly. it's tear-your-heart-out sad, with a "lying on your back in the rain, crying" kind of feel to it… it's so pretty. well, go out, buy the album, enjoy track 6 as much as I have, and it will be worth every penny. goodnight, ladies and gents!
-Miss Blue

In a lot of the discussions on who we are going to take with the #10 pick, everybody (including myself) keeps talking about which position we need the most help in. I kept saying Coples but the signing of Anderson makes that highly unlikely now. But there are also arguments for Martin, Reiff, DeCastro, Kirkpatrick, Floyd, Hill, Upshaw, and Ingram.
But a lot of those arguments usually are based off the thinking we are going to draft a good player based on their ability to address a need. We know that Chix likes to go BPA in the first round, regardless of positional need (Spiller). While I don't think that would always be the case (basically meaning we wouldn't touch Richardson if he was there), based on their draft history you would think they will probably go BPA this year too.
So my question is, if you were drafting the BPA, ignoring what you feel is the teams biggest need, which of the above players would you draft?
Post a comment if you want me to add somebody else, and if you already voted tell me who you voted for. I'll try to do a top 5 of the "BPA" as a separate post, and this will let me make sure I get the numbers right.

Computex 2013 Honorable Mentions
The highly successful Computex 2013 show in Taipei wrapped up its week-long showcase of new and upcoming laptops and tablets, and we have brought some of the highlights to you. We wanted to mention a few items that we didn't get to talk about since, which were showcased at the event.
Acer Iconia W3 Tablet
- The specs: Intel® Clover Trail™ chip, 2GB of RAM, 1280 x 800 resolution 8-inch display, 32GB of storage and front/rear cameras. Also includes microSD, micro USB, and micro HDMI. Runs on Windows 8.
- The challenge: so many tablets to choose out there.
- The game plan: this unit will include a free copy of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013.
ASUS Zenbook Infinity Ultrabook™
- The specs: 13.3" display, 2500 x 1600 resolution, Intel Core™ i7 Haswell chips, and new Intel Iris graphics. 0.55" thin, brushed metal and an all Gorilla-Glass enclosure—the screen, the back cover and the trackpad included.
- The challenge: a very crowded Ultrabook market.
- The game plan: new Haswell chip promises longer battery life and faster processing. Or does it? Also, the Gorilla Glass encasing is a nice idea.
Sony Vaio Duo 13 Tablet
- The specs: 13" 1080p display, trackpad, and rumored 10-hour battery life. 1.6 GHz Core i5 processor, 128GB solid-state drive; it's only 0.77" thick and weighs less than 3 pounds.
- The challenge: tons of other tablets in the market with much more appealing price tags.
- The game plan: this is one of those tablet hybrids that will reportedly kill the laptop. Everyone will want one (although not everyone will be able to afford one).
ASUS PC G10 Desktop
- The specs: not every announcement was ultrathin or ultraportable. Some were just cool. Take, for example, the new ASUS PCG10 desktop. Haswell processors, NVIDIA GeForce GTX650 graphics card, 8GB of RAM and a combo 1TB spindle drive and 128GB solid-state drive. USB 3.0, HDMI, DVI-D and VGA ports, and a DVD burner round out the specs.
- The challenge: big deal?
- The game plan: what sets the PCG10 apart from other desktops? The PCG10 includes a portable battery that doubles as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) so that your computer's data will be safe and protected, even in power-down scenarios.

- The challenge: everyone is getting into cloud storage devices, and companies like ASUS are deeply invested in the game already.

SAN DIEGO—A federal appeals court Tuesday upheld the conviction of former San Diego City Councilman Ralph Inzunza and the acquittal of former Councilman Michael Zucchet on corruption charges in a long-running case dubbed "Strippergate" by local media.
However, the decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals won't be final until the U.S. Supreme Court weighs in on a similar case involving a former politician in Alaska.
A jury convicted Inzunza and Zucchet in 2005 of accepting bribes from Las Vegas strip club owner Michael Galardi, who also owned Cheetah's strip club in Kearny Mesa. Galardi was seeking to overturn the city's so-called "no-touch'' ordinance, which prohibits contact between exotic dancers and patrons at adult entertainment venues. Galardi pleaded guilty to bribery charges and testified against Inzunza and Zucchet. A San Diego jury convicted both councilmen on federal charges of wire fraud, conspiracy and extortion.
Following the conviction, Zucchet and Inzunza both resigned from the City Council. Ironically, days before his conviction, Zucchet had become the city's acting mayor after Mayor Dick Murphy resigned.
Following a round of appeals, in November of 2005, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Miller upheld Inzunza's convictions, but he overturned seven of Zucchet's nine convictions, citing insufficient evidence. The judge ordered a new trial for Zucchet on the remaining two counts. The government then challenged Zucchet's acquittal, but Tuesday, after four years of litigation, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Miller's decision.
Inzunza was sentenced to 21 months in prison but has been free during the appeal. Zucchet could get a new trial on the two remaining charges - one for wire fraud, and one for conspiracy.
Zucchet's lawyer released a statement calling on prosecutors to dismiss the two remaining charges pending against their client.
"Mr. Zucchet has been vindicated once again. He and his wife are tremendously gratified by this result, although it is a tragedy for his family and for this city that they were put through this long and excruciating ordeal," the statement said.
U.S. Attorney Karen Hewitt said her office is reviewing the appeals court decision.
"In consultation with the Justice Department, we are currently weighing all legal options with respect to these cases,'' Hewitt said in a statement.
