As millions of readers of Hatchet, The River,
and Brian's Winter know, Brian Robeson survived alone in
the wilderness by finding solutions to extraordinary challenges.
But now that he's back in civilization, Brian can't find a way to
make sense of ordinary daily life. He feels disconnected, more isolated
than he did alone in the North. The only answer is to return to
the woods, to "go back in," for only in the wilderness can Brian
discover his true path in life, and where he really belongs.

The River
an excerpt!
"We want you to do it again."
These words, spoken to Brian Robeson, will change his life. Two
years earlier, Brian was stranded alone in the wilderness for 54
days with nothing but a small hatchet. Yet he survived.
Now the government wants him to go back into the wilderness so
that astronauts and the military can learn the survival techniques
that kept Brian alive. Soon the project backfires, though, leaving
Brian with a wounded partner and a long river to navigate. His only
hope is to build a raft and try to transport the injured man a hundred
miles downstream to a trading post--if the map he has is accurate.

Brian's Hunt
an excerpt!
Brian Robeson is at home in the Canadian wilderness. He has stood
up to the challenge of surviving alone in the woods. He prefers
being on his own in the natural world to civilization.
When Brian finds a dog one night, a dog that is wounded and whimpering,
he senses danger. The dog is badly hurt, and as Brian cares for
it, he worries about his Cree friends who live north of his camp.
His instincts tell him to head north, quickly. With his new companion
at his side, and with a terrible, growing sense of unease, he sets
out to learn what happened. He sets out on the hunt.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2010)
Alfred Shaddick Burt (April 22, 1920 – February 7, 1954) was an American jazz musician who is best known for composing the music for fifteen Christmas carols between 1942 and 1954. Only one of the carols was performed in public outside his immediate family circle during his lifetime.
Burt was born in Marquette, Michigan. His family moved to Pontiac, Michigan when he was two after his father, Bates Burt, became pastor of an Episcopal church there. At the age of 10, having shown an early interest in music, Alfred received his first musical instrument, a cornet, as a present from his parents. Though he would learn to play several other instruments, including the piano, Alfred spent most of his life playing cornet and trumpet in bands and orchestras, with a special interest in jazz.
Burt studied music at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in 1942.
A tradition that the elder Burt had begun upon moving to Pontiac in 1922 was the creation of a Christmas card, which he sent to family members and parishioners. On these cards were original Christmas carols, with both the words and music by the Reverend Burt. For the family Christmas card in 1942, Bates asked his son to write the music for that year's carol, "Christmas Cometh Caroling." From then on, Alfred would write the music for the family's Christmas cards, and the "Alfred Burt carols" were born.
During World War II, Burt served as an officer in the United States Army, stationed at San Angelo, Texas. While there, he served with the Army Air Force Band and filled in with the Houston Symphony as a trumpeter. His father sent him the lyrics for the 1943 and 1944 carols from Michigan, and Burt completed the music from his base.
Burt married his childhood sweetheart, Anne, on October 13, 1945. Finally earning his discharge in early 1946, he formed a short-lived band; after its demise, he and Anne returned to Michigan to spend time with his father. Burt then resumed his career in New York, where he was a teacher and composer.
The 1947 Christmas card was the last collaboration between Alfred and Bates Burt; Bates died of a heart attack early in 1948. Alfred and his wife chose to continue the family Christmas card tradition in his honor.
Burt joined the Alvino Rey Orchestra in 1949. Meanwhile, Anne remained in Michigan, where the Burts' only child, Diana Bates Burt, was born on March 8, 1950. While she was pregnant, Anne, in consultation with Alfred, asked an old family friend, Wilha Hutson, the organist at Bates Burt's church, to write the annual Christmas poems, which Burt then would set to music. The Burt-Hutson collaboration continued until Burt's death.
Over several years, as the Burts' circle of friends grew, the Christmas card list grew from 50 to 450 people. But still, the carols remained unknown outside the Burts' mailing list.
That changed with the 1952 carol, "Come, Dear Children". Burt finished writing the music during a rehearsal with the Blue Reys, the vocal group with Rey's orchestra. He asked them to sing it so he could make sure the harmonies worked; they liked it so much that they asked Burt if they could sing it at the annual King Family Christmas party. It proved to be a hit among the partygoers, and served to introduce Burt's carols to Hollywood.
Through the early part of 1953, Burt complained of a persistent virus and fatigue. Eventually agreeing to a thorough examination, he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He spent his final months in California. For the first time, his carols were going to be recorded.[citation needed]
James Conkling, husband of Donna King Conkling, and at that time the president of Columbia Records, was informed of Burt's failing health and organized the project, assembling an all-star choir of Hollywood singers to perform Burt's four-part harmonies. Recording sessions for the older carols took place in late 1953 in the North Hollywood LDS Church with Burt present. Meanwhile, to fill the album, Burt was assigned four new carols. One of them, "O Hearken Ye," was sent on the 1953 family Christmas card.
Burt finished the last of his carols, "The Star Carol", on February 5, 1954. Less than 24 hours later, he died. "The Star Carol" would be used on the final Burt family Christmas card that holiday season.
Twelve of Burt's carols were released in time for the holiday season of 1954 on a 10-inch vinyl album called The Christmas Mood (Columbia CL 6336). The album was credited to "The Columbia Choir", conducted by Bud Linn and produced by "Edwin L. (Buddy) Cole", as the LP jacket credits him, who was at that time the husband of Marilyn King Cole. The "Christmas Mood" was recorded by the Columbia Choir under the direction of Grafton(Bud)Linn @ St Michael's and All Angels Episcopal church, on Coldwater Canyon Ave. in Studio City California of which Al and Ann were members.
The album remained in print for several Christmas seasons. In 1955, the original 10-inch LP was reissued with a new catalog number (CL 2546) as part of Columbia's short-lived "House Party Series," which was designed to keep the 10-inch album alive, even as most labels released most of their new LPs on 12-inch discs. In 1957, the album was reissued once again, this time on a 12-inch LP as CL 1051, with some instrumental arrangements by Ralph Carmichael.
Capitol Records artists Tennessee Ernie Ford, Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians and Nat King Cole recorded Burt's carols. In 1958, Ford recorded "The Star Carol" for his first full-length album of Christmas music and named the entire album of songs named after it. The Star Carol (Capitol T/ST 1071) peaked at Billboard #4 in the Christmas season of 1958-59 and reappearing on either the main LP charts or the special Christmas charts for a decade thereafter. In 1959, Waring recorded the Christmas LP The Sounds of Christmas (Capitol T/ST 1260), and six of the Burt carols appeared on it: "Caroling, Caroling," "O Hearken Ye," "Jesu Parvule," "The Star Carol," "Come Dear Children," and "This Is Christmas" (the latter also known under the name "Bright, Bright the Holly Berries"). Finally, Cole recorded "Caroling, Caroling" on his 1960 album The Magic of Christmas (Capitol W/SW 1444), which was reissued under the title The Christmas Song in 1963 and has remained in print ever since.
The first recording of all 15 of Burt's carols was in 1964 by the Voices of Jimmy Joyce called This Is Christmas: A Complete Collection of the Alfred S. Burt Carols (Warner Bros. W/WS 1566). The original Columbia Choir album did not include "Christmas Cometh Caroling," "What Are the Signs," and "Sleep Baby Mine."
Other recordings of Burt's carols include Simon and Garfunkel's 1967 recording of "The Star Carol", Kenny Loggins' version of "Christmas Cometh Caroling", George Winston's 1982 rendition of "Some Children See Him", and James Taylor's 2004 recording of "Some Children See Him".
The Singers Unlimited recorded six of the Burt carols in their 1972 Christmas album.[1] Gas House Gang also has recorded Burt carols in their 2000 CD "Some Children See Him".
John Williams wrote two medleys of Burt's works for the Boston Pops Orchestra.
In 2001 Burt's grandniece, the composer Abbie Betinis, revived the family tradition of sending Christmas cards with an original carol each holiday season, which she also introduces each year on Minnesota Public Radio.

(KMOV.com) – Police told News 4 they are looking for a man who allegedly assaulted a woman at a hair salon in Union.
Police said Vennie Dowel walked into Kacey's Hair Kreations and posed as a customer before he committed a crime.
"Things went bad from there she was assaulted in a sexual manner she did not receive any injuries but it was a very traumatic incident for her," said Union Police Chief Norman Brune.
Police said Dowel groped the victim before he tried to take her into a back room, but he then ran off. Authorities believe Dowel had been stalking his victim for some time.
"The subject did speak as if he had been watching her from time to time but she didn't know him at all," Brune said.
If Dowel is caught, he faces charges for burglary and sexual abuse. Police believe he may be hiding out with family.

2 UConn players on preseason All-America team
Stewart, Mosqueda-Lewis selected
Chiney Ogwumike now has family bragging rights. She accomplished something her older sister never could by becoming a unanimous preseason All-American.
"As old ladies maybe I'll hold it over her," said a laughing Ogwumike, who joined sister Nneka as a two-time preseason All-American. "But for now I'm proud to be part of this select group."
Ogwumike received all 36 votes from a national media panel Tuesday, becoming the ninth player to be a unanimous selection on The Associated Press preseason All-America team. Brittney Griner, Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins were all unanimous selections last year.
The Stanford forward was joined on the team by Baylor's Odyssey Sims and Maryland's Alyssa Thomas. All three seniors were on the preseason squad last season. UConn teammates Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Breanna Stewart rounded out the team.
"It means a lot to be on this team," Ogwumike said. "I'm truly honored to be considered one of the best players in the country. It's so hard to fulfill expectations."
It's going to be hard for Ogwumike to improve on the season she had last year. Already in the school's top 10 in both scoring and rebounding, the 6-foot-3 star averaged 22.4 points, 12.9 rebounds and shot 58.6 percent from the field last season. She was the only player in the country to rank in the top seven in all three of those categories, and she led the country with 28 double-doubles.
She's worked this offseason to improve her outside game.
"I was passing up perimeter opportunities and the evolution of my game needs to be inside-out," she said. "I need to be more of a playmaker and facilitator."
Sims could take a page from Ogwumike, since she will have to do a lot more this year for Baylor with the loss of Griner and four other seniors to graduation.
"Odyssey is by far the most experienced player we have. She understands what it takes to win championships, she understands the work ethic," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. "She's going to be asked to do more than ever before, both in her play and in the leadership capacity, and I think she's ready for it."
Sims averaged 12.9 points, 5.8 assists and 2.8 steals last season.
"I am so honored to be named a preseason AP All-American for the second time. That's a pretty select group to be included in and I am humbled by the recognition."
Thomas was selected for the second straight year to the preseason team. The Maryland star had a great year last season averaging 18.8 points, 10.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists.
"It's pretty special to be named a preseason All-American again because there's a lot of really good players out there," Thomas said. "I know we all just work hard and try to be the best we can. It's great to be in that group again."
While Ogwumike, Sims and Thomas are making their second straight appearance on the preseason team, Stewart and Mosqueda-Lewis are making their first. They are the seventh set of teammates to be preseason All-Americans, and the duo helped UConn win its eighth national championship in April. UConn is back at No. 1 in the preseason Top 25 poll.
"I feel like a lot of people on our team could be named All-Americans with Bria (Hartley) and Stef (Dolson) and me and Stewie and how well our other teammates have been playing, with Tuck and Kia and all them," Mosqueda-Lewis said. "It's just an honor to play with such great people all around me."
Along with Stewart and Mosqueda-Lewis, UConn seniors Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley received votes marking the first time a team has four players earn All-America honors. Tennessee has had three players twice and UConn did it in 2008.
"I think the fact that we had such a great year last year and won the national championship has a lot to do with that," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "Sometimes these things just kind of converge and everything happens all at one time. It is unusual, though. I've had a lot players and a lot of great teams come through here and for this to be the first time this has happened shows how special it is."
Ogwumike and Sims were both on the postseason All-America team last spring, with Thomas and Mosqueda-Lewis earning second team honors.

The Fast and the Furious franchise has had a massive impact on the car world since the first film came out in 2001. The first four movies have influenced a whole generation of car enthusiasts and changed the way some people think about tuner cars. Fast Five, the latest installment in the series is set to premiere on April 29.
And what better way to enjoy opening night of the new film than by rolling up in one of the actual cars from the series? We found five of the cars for sale right now on AutoTrader.com and AutoTraderClassics.com. Just save the racing for the track, Ok?
Car: 1996 Acura Integra GS-R
Movie: The Fast and the Furious (2001)
What you can do with it: Yell "Monica!" at every car that passes you.
Filmmakers used this 1996 Acura Integra to promote the original Fast and Furious movie. The prop car used in the movie was destroyed, so this replica was made by the production company to stand in its place. The car is signed by musician Ja Rule, who drove the other car in the film. It also comes with pictures and memorabilia from The Fast and The Furious. With a Polk 12-inch subwoofer and full exhaust system, people are likely to hear the car before they can even spot its distinctive red and yellow paint.
See the listing here. Check out the archived copy after it sells.
Car: 1991 Nissan 240SX
Movie: Fast and Furious (2009)
What you can do with it: Go around corners sideways in massive clouds of smoke
This Nissan 240SX was built as both a drift and show car. It made its debut at the SEMA custom auto show, and has been extensively modified since then. It made an appearance in Fast and Furious, the fourth film in the series. It served mostly as an extra, but make no mistake, this car is no backup performer. The engine has been swapped for a turbocharged Japanese unit, and the car has more modifications than a real housewife of Orange County.
See the listing here. Check out the archived copy after it sells.
Car: 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
Movie: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
What you can do with it: Enjoy cruising with your favorite attractive companion.
Tyrese drove this Mitsubishi Eclipse in the first sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious. It is one of four similar cars from the movie, and this is the only car that actually has a manual transmission. The museum selling the car is asking $25,990. The Eclipse starred alongside Paul Walker's 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, which recently sold at the Barrett Jackson Collector Car Auction for $24,200.
See the listing here. Check out the archived copy after it sells.
Car: 1973 Chevrolet Camaro
Movie: Fast and Furious (2009)
What you can do with it: According to the sellers, this car was designed to do wheelies, so that seems like a good place to start.
This Chevrolet Camaro has an interesting story. The car it's based off of, called the F-Bomb, is the custom ride of Hotrod Magazine's chief editor. The original car produces over 1,500 horsepower, and it has a massive reputation among the hotrodding community. This replica was used by the filmmakers for the fourth Fast and Furious movie. Its 350 horsepower falls a little short of the original, but it has something the real F-Bomb does not: Exposure on the silver screen.
See the listing here. Check out the archived copy after it sells.
Car: 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
Movie: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
What you can do with it: Win over the girlfriends of spoiled jocks.
This is the 1971 Monte Carlo that raced against a Dodge Viper in the opening scene of the third movie, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Its body was designed to make the car look like something a high school student might tinker with in his spare time. The car is still equipped with the rollcage, chassis bracing and special suspension that allowed it to do jumps during filming.

The X Factor: Multidisciplinary (and Interdisciplinary) Approaches to Classics
Image credit: Ingo Gildenhard
At the recent Classics Faculty Sixth Form Study Days, King's Classicist Ingo Gildenhard explained how multidisciplinary approaches to Classics underpins teaching and learning at Cambridge.
The Classics Faculty is divided into caucuses, each of which brings a different approach to the study of Classics: Caucus A (Literature); Caucus B (Philosophy); Caucus C (History); Caucus D (Art and Archaeology) and Caucus E (Linguistics).
Dr. Gildenhard gave an example of how his colleagues in different caucuses each brought a different approach to the study of Ovid's Ars Amatoria [The Art of Love] in a recent lecture series:
- A: Poetics, or: The (S)expert at Work
- B: Sexual Ethics [gender relations, feminist readings]
- C: The Empire Strikes Back [Ovid and Augustus, the politics of the Ars, Ovid's banishment to the Black Sea]
- D: Sex and the City [Ovid and the monuments, his rewriting of Rome's urban topography]
- E: The Language of Love (and Sex) [how can we understand the different range of meanings of Latin words to English dictionary equivalents - does raptor mean 'rapist' or 'seducer'? and how does it relate to rapina and rapio?]
The students and academics gain enormously from exploring these multidisciplinary perspectives. If and when they combine two or more approaches to address a particular topic, thereby transcending any one discipline, their work becomes interdisciplinary.
For this reason, King's Classicist John Henderson and his colleague Geoffrey Lloyd pioneered an X Caucus (Interdisciplinary) in the 1980s, to allow and encourage Cambridge students and academics to cross disciplines in their study of the Classics.
Multidisciplinarity is not restricted to Classics! You will be able to find multidisciplinary (and interdisciplinary) approaches to almost any topic. Have you got the X Factor? Think of a topic that has caught your attention in one of your A Level subjects and ask yourself what your knowledge and skills in your other A Level subjects can bring to it.

In Our Time
A King's supervision in progress
What do we mean when we say that we're looking for students who can think critically and independently?
Listening to Radio 4's In Our Time programme will give you an insight into what Cambridge is looking for in our students, our methods of teaching and learning, and our interviews. Each week, presenter Melvyn Bragg discusses a topic in depth with three academics. You'll notice how in the course of forty-five minutes the guests identify the key questions to be addressed, examine all sides of the debate, frame clear and confident arguments of their own, and engage enthusiastically and flexibly with each other. Much of the teaching and learning at Cambridge happens in similar small group discussions, known as supervisions. In many respects, our interviews model the format of a supervision, so that we admit the students who will benefit most from this style of teaching.
But most importantly, tuning into In Our Time will give you insight into your subject, whatever it may be! The BBC has an archive of 646 programmes and counting, which cover wide-ranging topics in culture, history, philosophy, religion, and science. Last week, Melvyn Bragg and his guests discussed the philosophy of solitude. This week, they'll discuss the medieval writer and mystic Hildegard of Bingen. Whatever your interests, you'll find a relevant programme. You're just as likely to become fascinated by a topic you'd never heard of or thought about before.

Use Your Local Library
King's graduate Zadie Smith (English, 1994-1997) celebrated and defended local libraries in this 2012 essay, explaining that:
"Well-run libraries are filled with people because what a good library offers cannot be easily found elsewhere: an indoor public space in which you do not have to buy anything in order to stay."
At Cambridge, our students have 114 libraries to choose from. You can take a virtual tour of the King's College Library and watch Cambridge students' quest for the perfect desk.
As your exams come to an end and a lovely, long Summer beckons, you'll have more time to read around your subject. If you don't already use your local library, you will find out where it is and what it has to offer here. If your local library doesn't have what you're looking for, you can request an inter-library loan.
Your local university library may be able to help, too. For example, Newcastle University's Sixth Form Access Scheme provides reference facilities for Year 12s and 13s in the North East of England. The University of Reading Library offers similar opportunities to local sixth formers.

Vietnam upholds dissident lawyer jail term
Published on Feb 19, 2014 6:31 AM
HANOI (AFP) - One of Vietnam's most prominent dissidents lost his appeal on Tuesday, Feb 18, 2014, against imprisonment for tax evasion, as dozens of supporters protested outside the court against the communist state's crackdown on dissent.
Scores of police encircled the Hanoi People's Court of Appeals, which upheld a two and a half year jail sentence for Catholic lawyer and blogger Le Quoc Quan, whose conviction in October was condemned by the United States and denounced by rights campaigners as politically motivated.
"The defendant did not show regret and took a disrespectful attitude towards the court," said court president Nguyen Van Son, confirming the jail term and a fine of around US$57,000 (S$71,900).
The television feed to the court's observation room was cut off immediately after the verdict.

A bit of self indulgence with PSP I am afraid. I rember my grandmother had loads of old B&W prints mostly landscapes. They had an interesting quality - this is my rather feeble attempt to replicate this.
Taken yesterday with a kit lense - from an amazing vantage point in Somerset (Deers Leap high up on the Mendips). This image was cropped, and over sharpened - The heavy black frame is about right I think.
I would love to have any comments on this - do you think I have got anywhere near such old fashioned images.
Thanks for looking

Monoprice 109927 Enhanced Bass Hi-Fi Noise Isolating Earphones, Black
" Ok, I caved and bought 2 pair of these when I needed a mini to regular HDMI cable for a new laptop. They are impressive. I like the black color better than the silver too.

April 19, 2005
OKLAHOMA CITY - With flowers, teddy bears and poignant memories, people touched by the worst act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history gathered Tuesday at the Oklahoma City National Memorial for the 10th anniversary of the deadly act.
A moment of silence was planned for each of the 168 victims of the bombing that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995.
One bus brought 53 people, all wearing T-shirts with LaKesha Levy's photo on the front and the words "a shared experience."
Levy's aunt, Gail Batiste, said friends and family came from all over the country to remember the outgoing 21-year-old, who had gone to the building that morning to get a Social Security card.
"It's good that Oklahoma remembers," Batiste said.
Other people put flowers and teddy bears on the 168 chairs at the memorial.
Juanita Espinosa, wiped away tears as she stood in front of the chair of her cousin, Zackary Chavez, 2 1/2.
"They found his head one week, and his body another week," she said. "It's still too much to think about."
Vice President Cheney and former President Clinton were scheduled to speak. Clinton was president when Timothy McVeigh's truck bomb blew off the north side of the building at precisely 9:02 a.m.
McVeigh was convicted of federal conspiracy and murder charges and executed on June 11, 2001. Conspirator Terry Nichols is serving multiple life sentences on federal and state charges.
There was heavy security in the First United Methodist Church, adjacent to the memorial, as survivors and family members waited to hear the speeches. Security officers used metal detectors to inspect everything from flowers to diaper bags.
Former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, who was in office during the bombing, said the anniversary was bittersweet.
"It's bitter because it never should have occurred and sweet because the people of Oklahoma and Oklahoma City showed the country how to respond to a tragedy," he said.
Jenny Parsley, who seldom visits the memorial on the grounds of the destroyed building, planned to attend Tuesday's ceremony.
"I knew most of the people killed," Parsley, 57, said. "I lost a lot of good friends, too many."
Her decision to go in late, after a 10 a.m. doctor's appointment, saved her from the blast that killed 35 people in the Housing and Urban Development office where Parsley worked.
"For some reason I decided to go in after my appointment," she said. "I got up early that morning and got dressed and got ready to go to work and just decided not to go."
When she saw the thick black smoke over downtown, she thought it was a fire at a tire plant until she turned on the radio. She drove to her husband's office and discovered that her college-age son was with him, both thinking she was in the building when the bomb exploded.
"They were crying," she said. "When I got there, I just fell apart."
When the new federal building was dedicated last year, near the bombing site, Parsley took early retirement.
Larry Whicher, 44, of Russellville, Ark., said the passage of time had tempered his grief and his anger. The bombing killed his brother, Alan Whicher, who worked in the Secret Service office.
"You learn to accept it. You can't change it, so why carry that bitterness for your entire life?"
Jon Hansen, an assistant fire chief at the time of the blast, was preparing for a meeting at a fire station five blocks west when the bomb went off.
"It shook our building," he said. "We looked to the east and saw an enormous mushroom cloud.
"We drove toward the building and I'll never forget how when we topped the hill with the sun low in the east, the street and sidewalks just glistened with broken glass."

Nintendo's all-stars assemble once again, resulting in one of the best reasons to own a Wii U (and eight GameCube controllers).
Game »
consists of 13 releases.
Released Jun 30, 1986
Games which feature 3D polygonal graphics, but typically restrict gameplay and camera control to a 2D plane. Alternatively, it can also refer to earlier games that attempted to simulate three-dimensional graphics without the use of 3D polygons.
Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Running at 60 frames per second is standard for PC games, but the hardware restrictions of consoles often force developers to aim for lower framerates in order to preserve visual detail or allow for greater scale. Thus, console games that do hit the 60 FPS mark are somewhat unusual.
Games that let you choose you path you take through through the story-line.
A point within the game whereby the game saves its current state whether it be for the purpose of a more convenient respawn point or a gameplay design (such as in racing).
Chiptunes are musical compositions that are synthesized by a computer or console sound chip.
Although force feedback is often used in games to indicate such commonalities as when a player character is taking damage or feeling weapon recoil, it is sometimes used in more creative ways, such as providing hints to finding an item or providing emphasis during an otherwise non-interactive cinematic sequence. These games feature more creative uses of rumble than the norm.
The art of taking corners is an essential element for any good racing driver, and it is a technique that must be mastered in order to produce the fastest times on track.
Environments cycle between day and night, often with effects on other aspects of the game.
A remake/re-imagining of a game that uses lower fidelity assets, due to a deliberate design choice.
Drifting is a technique used in motorsports that involves intentionally over-steering the car to create a slide. This is done both as a competitive and exhibitive technique.
When the player's actions trigger a change in the game's soundtrack. This adds a cinematic quality to the gameplay.
A genre of music defined by its preference for using electronic equipment as instruments in place of traditional ones. Includes Electronica, Electropop, House, Dubstep and Techno styles of music.
Fictional places and locations in games that are inspired by actual places. These fictional places do not bear the same name as the real place, but can be recognized due to landmarks and structure.
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
Games often feature in-game music, however some have taken the effort to create their own radio stations, with DJ's, talkback, and a variety of music.
A lap is one circuit around a race track. This is featured in many, but not all racing games.
Games that obtained permission to feature real-life licensed car brands.
The single most important thing in the world, love is a powerful story telling element that can connect characters or drive a story. There are many video game characters who have fallen in love with someone or something.
This concept is for games in which the main character is male.
Multiple endings is a term used to describe different outcomes or conclusions to a game based on the previous actions of the player.
Over-the-shoulder is a camera view point popularized by Resident Evil 4 that is featured in most modern third-person shooters and third-person action games.
Romance in video games can either be interactive, in which the player attempts to woo another character, or an unchangeable part of the story of a given game.
The first subscription based video game serviced offered through your cable company.
A mode in the game, occasionally an unlockable, allowing players to listen to individual music tracks.
A two-dimensional image or animation overlaid into a scene. The foundation of early 2D games, making up everything from props to the player-controlled character.
Whether it's Super Scaler, Mode 7, or Ray Casting, growing and shrinking sprites is a concept often used in sprite-based games. It was a popular technique used to create a pseudo-3D, or 2.5D, effect, mostly during the 16-bit to early 32-bit eras.
3D Stereoscopy is the use of two images generated from slightly different angles in order to create a 3D effect. This usually requires the use of 3D glasses to separate the left/right image for each eye.
Many video games featuring cars have tried to incorporate it in some way.
An advanced, pseudo-3D, sprite-scaling graphics engine developed by Sega. Super Scaler technology was capable of scaling thousands of sprites per second, making it the most advanced sprite-based graphics technology of its time, from Hang-On in 1985 up until the Sega Saturn in 1994.

Easy on the eyes and the ears.

"This recipe was great. I followed the directions, but substituted beef broth instead of water and also threw in about 1/4 cup of white wine, in addition to about 1/2 cup of peas. Turned out awesome. I served it with biscuits.""

Teck Resources Limited's CEO Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
At our Elkview operation, the plant upgrade is now successfully commissioned and running at the forecast 6 million tonne annualized run rate. So we're pleased with that.
And finally, the feasibility study for the reopening of the Quintette mine is progressing and is expected to complete this quarter.
In our copper business unit on Slide 10. Overall production was up versus Q1 last year, with cathode production steady and concentrate production increasing. Production of copper in concentrate was up 6,000 tonnes, primarily due to higher ore grades and better recoveries at Carmen de Andacollo and Antamina. In addition, Antamina's mix of mill feed during the first quarter increased to 63% copper-only ore versus approximately 54% during the same period last year, as we continue to transition to a higher copper production.

So then we have three in a row coming up? Thats going to be somewhat different.
Well, if we are to believe Phil and we are interpreting it correctly, then we do have 3 non-elims coming.
With 5 teams, the likely scenario would be
one non-elim with 5 teams.

one non-elim with 4 teams.

Ashley Hebert Named The Next Bacheloretteby Steve Marsi at . Comments
She didn't even make The Bachelor finale (she came in third), but Ashley Hebert was confirmed as the new star of The Bachelorette after the show last night.
The announcement came on Jimmy Kimmel Live, just hours after the season finale aired on ABC. Brad Womack selected Emily Maynard over Chantal O'Brien.
On the After the Final Rose special, Chantal revealed that she is already in a new relationship, possibly explaining why she isn't the new Bachelorette star.
This summer, Ashley Hebert graduates from dental school ... to The Bachelorette!
A 26-year-old native of far-flung Madawaska, Maine, the effervescent cutie looks forward to turning the tables and having the guys fight for her this time.
Unlike the sentiment expressed by many viewers after the show, Ashley said she has full confidence in Brad and Emily. She has no hard feelings, either.
The new season kicks off Monday, May 23 on ABC, with filming set to begin early next month. What do you think of Ashley Hebert as The Bachelorette?
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: The Bachelor, The Bachelorette
i just started to watch the bachelorette online. And in my opinion ashley is just not my idea of ....i dnt even know what to say. but i remember the last bachelorette...and how she dealt witht he RATED R guy...she was so bad ass!... But how ashley is dealing with this guy here that she was warned about in the first place.....is just unattractive and needy. I hate this season of the bachelorette, so far and i dont thnk it'll get better
I agree with everyone who has posted! Ashley is very stupid. I hope all the guys leave if she brings Bentley back! It pisses me off that she got picked as the bachelorette. You can tell a lot from a persons actions and she is well on her way to be heart broke. I guess it does not matter what the viewers say though...all ABC wants is that they have high ratings!
She is seriously bowlegged, the dumb b&%# walks around like she has a 12 inch dildo up her butt. Wtf was Abc thinking when they put her on the show. All that damn crying! For the love of God some one shut her the hell up.
She got on my Fkn nerves when she was on the Bachelor with Brad Womack. When I learned that she was the New Bachelorette I was pissed.
Btw when she does finish dental school, who wants this dumb Bit#* working on your teeth?
Abc Next Time Lets Put a very confident Woman who knows what the hell she wants!
Ashley is so annoying with her crying, analyzing everything. She is actually really stupid. She acts like she is 12 years old. Bad choice. I am sure you lost a lot of viewers.
I agree..Annoying, immature, and stupid. I can't stand Ashley. She's in it for all the wrong reasons. All she cares about is how "hot" they look....that will make a lasting relationship, now won't it? She is the WORST Bachelorette EVER!
I hate watching Ashley. She is too immature and annoying. All her guys seem very sweet, I hope none of them have the misfortune of ending up with her.
Agreed....the fake annoying laughter is damaging to my tympanic membrane. For being labelled a braniac, she has no depth of character and has made a poor career choice by pursuing a reality TV career while feigning a career in dentistry. Not a good resume builder for an associateship...
She is the MOST annoying and insecure woman to be on T.V. with her constant fake maniacle laughter... Eeew
Not a good choice. She's a nice young lady, but is without personality and very bland. I doubt very much if I will be watching - all that's changed is the face! Everything else remains the same, with the villain and the idiot and the sweet young thing. Give me Brothers and Sisters any day - oh yes, that series ABC saw fit to take off the air. Guess it all comes down to the fact that they have to pay the actors and the reality shows cost next to nothing!!
What is ABC thinking? She is is so BORING !!! Like watching paint dry. The execs at ABC should be fired for canceling V and Brothers and Sisters and replacing it with this unwatchable junk. I guess its time to cancel my cable subsription.
