"The fruit presents itself really well, and they're less susceptible (to bruising)," he said.
One- and 2-pounders are the most popular clamshell sizes for cherries, though some club stores will ask for even larger packs, Parker said.
While clamshells can help protect cherries, if they're packed correctly, bags also do a perfectly adequate job of keeping fruit safe, Parker said.
Sometimes, the extra-delicate rainiers and royal rainiers Scattaglia ships will be packed in smaller bags for added pro-tection, he said.
The trend in cherry packaging is definitely away from bulk and toward packaged product, Nelsen said.
The main reason is food safety concerns, he said. Also, packaged cherries are easier for retailers to handle.
While bags are the most popular choice for packaged cherries, clamshells are gaining ground, he said. Food safety, again, is the reason, though retailers have to weigh that advantage versus the not-inconsiderable price difference.
Switching to clams "raises the costs tremendously," Nelsen said.
Clamshells are an especially good match for rainiers, which bruise more easily, said Jimmy Williams, domestic and export sales manager for Stockton, Calif.-based Grower Direct Marketing LLC.
Clamshell sales are growing, particularly toward the begin-ning of the deal, when light volumes mean high prices and retailers are looking to reduce sticker shock, which they can accomplish with the smaller clams, said Maurice Cameron, president of Hanford, Calif.-based Flavor Tree Fruit Co., which markets fruit packed by Hanford-based Warmerdam Packing LLC.
"For the first three or four weeks, some are taking it all in clams before switching to bags," Cameron said.

We've had a megashare of good-day sunshine lately, with flowers, trees and plants confused and allergies in full bloom. Looks like Old Man Winter skipped us this year.
But even if he'd come and stayed, we have plenty of sunshine in our house these days. Friday was another girlies day, but Jude was able to come too, since he was on spring break.
He and Pop enjoyed the weather by visiting Besser Hardware (guy stuff) and playing together at The Bernice Garden, one of the nicest of the nice new spots on our beloved South Main.
If you haven't visited it, you should, and you might want to make a mental note of the Sunday Bernice Gardens farmers market that will start in May.
Our little neighborhood is growing up, just like our grandkids.
Annabelle is walking, Sylvia's got a mouthful of teeth, and Jude is just a big boy now. We might as well admit it. He's one tall kindergartner, he can read, and he's quite the artist these days.
Friday Jude invited the little girls into his "toy room" (where he also allows me to keep my clothes) for the first time, and they were pretty happy about it.
Then he demonstrated his skills at Lego Batman on our Wii, until my old man declared it was time for the guys to do some work on getting our vegetable plot ready.
Annabelle had gone home by then, but Sylvia and I joined them in the back yard for some glorious weather and sneezing exercises.
Even the four-legged girls have been sneezing and snorting lately.
After Jude and Sylvie left with Dad, Annabelle came back in her precious zebra jammies to hang out and make us laugh while Mama and Daddy went to dinner. They picked her up before 8 and before sunset.
It was good-day sunshine all day long. And the weather was nice too.

WASHINGTON, May 3, 2013 —Marc Maron is first and foremost a stand up comedian. And just like most successful comedians, his act is based on observations of his real life. Since Maron's life has been as dreary as it has illuminating, he has a wealth of material that rings true with his audience.
In the face of a career freefall in 2009, Maron launched his twice-weekly podcast "WTF with Marc Maron." Maron's willingness to bare his soul and his mistakes while interviewing guests on "WTF" has led to a wildly successful show that has 2.5 to 3 million downloads a month.
SEE RELATED: TV tonight: Fashion Star; hour-long promo for Macy's, Saks and Express
The show, recorded in his Los Angeles home garage, follows a standard format where Maron interviews guests with a candor that almost always includes a brutal look at his own insecurities and past failures.
The process must work because Maron has made almost 400 episodes of "WTF" that include interviews with everyone from Ben Stiller to Amy Poehler. This week alone his podcasts feature a chat with Hank Azaria on Monday, a live "WTF" from Vancouver on Wednesday highlighting Margaret Cho doing her one woman show, and an interview with Huey Lewis on Friday. Maron rounds out his busy week with a stand up gig in Milwaukee on Saturday.
Marc Maron may be a man with issues. But his willingness to dissect those issues so openly with an audience of millions has led to a level of success he never imagined. We're all a product of our past mistakes and how we've overcome them. Being down but never giving up will be a large part of Maron's legacy, and it's a good reason his new show on IFC tonight at 10 p.m. deserves a chance.

Is it ok to mix marbles? We are working on the bathroom ad have porcelain calcutta floors and half walls with glass, and our vanity arrived today and it came with a carrara top. We actually quite like the top and wouldn't mind using it, but I'm not sure if it will work with the calcutta... or that the calcutta is in fact porcelain. I will say that we are using pencil liner in real calcutta and that matches the porcelain perfectly, so I think the porcelain is pretty good stuff... but would you mix it with carrara or will that just look awful? |

Mixing marbles and or porcelain,ceramic is fine. The first question is the look. If you mix black marble whether faux or real with a white marble it can sometimes work well. Depending on placement and the way they contrast or compliment one another. Using two marbles that may have similar colors but different looks may work. Send in some pics and lets see what people think. I am pretty sure you will get a bunch of feedback. My second question is you should really know if your floor and walls are real calacutta or faux. It will make a big difference on how you maintain it. |
- Posted by hobokenkitchen (My Page) on Sat, Feb 9, 13 at 18:24
The side half walls and floor are Calcutta look porcelain. The two end walls are glass. We are using white Thassos marble as the door and shower thresholds. The vanity top which came with the vanity is Carrara marble. The grey in it is a good match to the Calcutta - but the movement is completely different as is the white. I initially thought it definitely wouldn't work, but now I'm not so sure. It looks like it is different enough that it could work maybe? Here's the floor. No one else has any input?? |
- Posted by hobokenkitchen (My Page) on Sat, Feb 9, 13 at 18:26
It's hard to tell it they work or not. In the photos, the vanity seems so veiny as to be bordering on solid grey (not a bad thing--I like it too). The colors don't work in the photos, but if they do in real life, I think you can do this. Will there be a backsplash or any of the porcelain or calacatta closer than the floor? |
- Posted by hobokenkitchen (My Page) on Sat, Feb 9, 13 at 19:35
Yes, the porcelain calcutta goes up the wall to 42" so right next to the vanity top. I think we're going to have to eye ball it. Maybe when the walls are tiled we can stand the vanity in the bathroom and see how it looks with the top. If it doesn't work then we'll have to scramble to find an alternative. |
- Posted by pricklypearcactus (My Page) on Sat, Feb 9, 13 at 22:54
I have a bathroom with porcelain carrara look tile and actual carrara marble counter. The porcelain veins are gray but don't look exactly like the counter's veins. The counter also has more gray in the background than the very white tiles. I love it. |
Personally, no I would not mix Calcutta look tile with carrera marble. I would use real Calcutta for your counter tops. Calcutta is much whiter with warmer tones in the veining while carrerra is much greyer. We mixed carrera look tiles with real carrera counters. I was nervous about it but it looks great. Sell the countertop or use it elsewhere in the house. |

Some families like to attend to observe the latest fitting and showing techniques to implement at home. Other producers and family members might compete in the World Forage Analysis Superbowl, Champion Dairy Products Contest, Youth Fitting/Showmanship Contest and 4-H/Post-Secondary or Intercollegiate Dairy Cattle Judging Contests as well as the FFA Dairy Judging events.

Available on Android and iPhone, managing your travels couldn't be easier with the free easyJet app.
A nifty flight search and booking tool.
It's simple and quick to search for cheap flights in Europe and book them straight from your phone. Fancy a spur of the moment trip to Amsterdam? Done. A long weekend in Paris? C'est facile! It's the perfect way to book a secret getaway – and because it's easyJet, you know you'll be getting a good price whenever you book.
Once you've booked your flights, you can check your travel times, change your flights and save your passport details to make future bookings even quicker.
Suitcase crisis? Add more luggage.
If you realise you forgot to add baggage allowance for your ski gear to France, your surfboard or that pair of shoes you just couldn't leave behind, there's no need to worry. The easyJet app allows you to add sports equipment and extra bags from the time you book right up to 2 hours before your flight.
You can even make sure you get the best seats in the house by getting a Speedy Boarding pass. No more getting stuck between a snorer and a wriggler!
Real time flight updates.
Gone are the days of checking Teletext for flight arrival times. When you need to pick up your loved ones from the airport, this app will keep you up to date with all flight statuses, including flight disruptions and arrival times. So you'll know exactly what time to be there, and you won't end up racking up a huge short stay parking bill at Luton.
What we love most about the easyJet app.
More than anything, it's just a great experience. We've all downloaded apps that freeze right when you're in the middle of using them, or have annoying ads, or are just plain ugly. While some might say it's pretty simple, that's exactly why we think it's so good: it does exactly what it's supposed to do.
The easyJet app is truly a pleasure to use, and even if you only travel a couple of times a year, it's well worth downloading.

AnonymousWhite Plains, NYHairCurly HairThe Best!I love this hair dryer! I have frizzy slightly curly hair unless I blow it straight, then use a straightening iron.

Chelsey WilkesAtlanta, GAMakes My Job Easier!!I LOVE this hairdryer because it is so efficient and lightweight. its very easy to hold and use through a 9 to 10 hour day of doing clients.

Kris KujawinskiEast Village, New York City, NYA Gift That Keeps On Giving.I bought this hair dryer as a gift for my coworker. A stylist in one of the trade magazines listed it as something he couldnt live without while working. The long cord, lightweight, quiet motor, and size features sold me. Also, the best part is the air flow nozzle snaps on and wont fall off. My friends previous hair dryers would not last her long ( she is pretty rough on them). Im happy to say her TGR 4000i hair dryer is still going strong after two years and mine is about to have a one year anniversary. I think we both cant live without them at work. No complaints here.posted Jun 21, 2009Link to this post

It is light, small (not a mini), and my hair feels softer since I have been using it; and it takes me less time than ever before! It has different setting for temperture and it is really effective. With a great black design and a practical seze and weight, I cannot ask for more. I will not buy another tool from any other brand, Sedu products are the best!posted Jun 21, 2009Link to this post
Tired MomGood DryerI love this blowdryer. Compared to most standard $30 store bought dryers it is way better, but compared to my old speed freak 2000watt dryer it is just noticibly better. Not a huge improvement but better. My old one is on its last leg after 7 years so my new sedu was worth the price. To tell you the speed at which the air blows out, I did a comparison test with my old speed freek and a conair dryer. I hung towels of same exact brand style and weight inside on the shower rod so no outside wind forces could change the outcome. I held all three dryers facing the towels and the sedu blew the towel the farthest with the most force. I then took a few steps back with the sedu while my husband stayed in the same spot with the others and the sedu still blew the towel the farthest. I would recommend this if you are in need of a new dryer or just tired of replacing your old store bought specials.posted Jun 20, 2009Link to this post

So I guess this is what you would call a plant rescue =/ I went to get potting soil for my other cane cutting and I came back with this beauty. There's growth all over but there are holes in most of the leaves. Is this just because of water dripping on it? I can post some more in-detail photos. Oh and there's also so English Ivy in the pot also. The pot is without drainage holes. And the dirt seemed fairly packed. I found all of this odd coming from a nursery that is extremely knowledgeable. I was under the impression that Begonias liked fast draining loamy soil. |

Looks to me as though there is not enough humidity as the leaves look dry around the edges.I think the light could be too hot or too strong for the location of the plant. It looks healthy otherwise.Yes, begonias need good drainage, if you leave it in that pot be careful with the watering. |
- Posted by hcmcdole z7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Nov 29, 12 at 20:55
I'd cut the worst leaves off, pull the entire rootball out and put it in a container with good drainage and probably new potting mix. You can put the new pot back in this bowl for decorative looks. You can drill a hole in the bottom of this bowl as well if you don't want to use a new pot. I have a feeling the ivy will eventually take over choking out the begonia. You can cut the tops before that happens though and start them in a new pot. Sophie is an easy begonia to propagate but hard to find anyone who has had it to bloom. I've had one for close to 30 years and I don't remember it ever blooming but the leaves are enough for me. |
- Posted by woebegonia MT (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 10:04
I had one bloom many years ago, it was in an East window with strong light, I took two pictures and sent them on a round robin as so many people find it a shy bloomer. The hybridizer (Kusler) always denied it was a poor bloomer. I wonder how she grew it at her home . . . I think it looks a lot like B . 'Lana', maybe I didn't have the plant I thought I had back then. I've grown it from cuttings a few times since, never had any more blooming. |

I can't tell if the holes were caused by some kind of critter munching, or maybe hail or acorns falling on the plant. Great looking plant, though. I would get rid of the ivy or at least separate the plants. Ivy + inside = spider mites. |

Woe, Lana is an easy bloomer and smaller than Sophie. The leaves aren't as cut as Sophie either. There are a couple more that look like Sophie but hard to tell them apart - Pagoda and Ina Mae or Ida May or something like that (passalong plant with longer narrower leaves than Sophie). It really doesn't matter how the holes got there once they are there - either let them alone or clean them up - won't hurt other than visual annoyance. Often it is mechanical damage from falling debris - not too many insects munch on begonias but they do from time to time. |

As part of our Accommodation Guarantee, Newcastle University has agreements with private providers, such as Downing, Liberty Living, Portland Green, Victoria Hall and Unite which allow us to offer you a range of excellent en suite accommodation across the city.
If you decide to live in one of these partnership schemes your contract will be with the company who owns the scheme. However, the Accommodation Service will manage your application and allocation for you so there is no need for you to contact the providers directly. You can move in from September 2014 and contracts lengths vary from provider but are generally either 42, 43 or 50 weeks. There is also the option to extend your contract over the summer.
The terms of your contract will differ to those of the University. To secure your accommodation you will be asked for some payment in advance, such as a deposit and first payment of rent. This is the usual practice when moving into private accommodation. You will need to provide a suitable guarantor, and if you are unable to do this you may be expected to pay the full-year accommodation fees in advance of your arrival.
Depending on which of the Partnership schemes you are allocated, you will either:
As bedding is not included in partnership accommodation we have bedding packs available which you can purchase on your arrival.
Living at one of these sites is a popular choice with Newcastle University students due to the excellent facilities and flexible contracts.

I have the 1962 version of your yellow bathroom. Same exact tiles, but yellow and grey fried egg shapes on formica countertop. I will watch your new bath with great interest as ours is going, too. Soon. Very soon. Keep us posted. Your selections are lovely. You'll be very happy. |

I absolutely agree with you lee676. What were they drinking/smoking?! I had two bathrooms with harvest gold, one was harvest gold and a dark brown the color of... well, you get the picture. Why would anyone want a bathroom in those colors? I'm really looking forward to seeing your finished bath patty__em. It's coming together very nicely so far. |

One bad ass year lands Kid Ink his first major deal with RCA Records. In light of the good news, we get to hear the lead single to his debut album, featuring MMG brothas Wale x Meek. This jawn was suppose to be on his RocketShipShawty, so scroll down and press play below.
Says Kid Ink:
We achieved so much last year independently but we just felt it was time to team up with a major in 2013 to take it to the next level and RCA is as excited as we are about the vision and possibilities.
I'm ecstatic to have someone as multi-talented as Kid Ink, along with the backing of Tha Alumni team with us at RCA Records. We see him not just as an emerging domestic star but as someone whose music and entrepreneurship is already developing a global presence.

Numerous locals placed well, including Sarah Hunter of Winona, who received fifth place in the women's olympic triathlon; Rita Miller of Winona, who took 5th overall in the women's sprint race (a shortened version of the triathlon); Brian Rivers, who finished 24th overall in the sprint race; and Theresa Riley of La Crescent, who was the first and only woman over 65 to complete the sprint race. A relay team of Carew Halleck, of Winona, Winona native Ian Stanford, and Nick Vetter, of Minneapolis, took first place in the men's olympic relay. Winonan Garret Ping's 27th overall finish is especially remarkable, however. Ping broke two bones near his wrist before the race.
Ping was warming up on his bicycle, descending a hill on the edge of Winona last Friday. He signaled to a cyclist behind him that he was turning, began to turn, and the cyclist crashed into Ping, T-boning him and knocking him to the ground. Ping said at first he only noticed his torn-up hip and bruised elbow, and went on to compete in a time trial of the Garvin Hill climb. That is when his wrist started hurting.
Ping saw a doctor on Saturday who informed him that he had broken both bones in his lower arm near the wrist and told him not to race. "I went to bed with the thought that I wouldn't race," Ping said. However, the thought that he might be able to make the top ten this year Ping finished 11th last year and jealousy of his wife, who was preparing to race, tempted him to ignore his doctor's advice. Ping's wife thought he was crazy, but "she partly expected it, probably," he said.
Ping thought, "If I can get thru the swim I can do it," but the bike would turn out to the most painful part of the race. When sitting down on his bike saddle, Ping could put less weight on his elbow, but during turns and climbs, when he had to stand or use his arms, Ping winced.
The climb up Garvin Heights Road is the crux of the race, competitors agreed. The merciless incline is part of what makes this bike course world-class and attracts triathletes from across the country to Winona. Because of his wrist, Ping remained seated for nearly all of the hill, climbing the bluff without the benefit of standing up on his bike.
"I watch a lot of Tour de France," Ping said, "and those guys crash a lot and race with broken arms. I figured if they can do it, so can I."
Ping did, finishing ahead of most despite his injury. Though Ping did not make the top ten, he said he was happy with his finish, all things considered.
The swim was another difficult challenge for many. Chilly water temperatures, crowded swimmers, choppy waves, and entangling lake weeds create a sense of chaos that panicked some swimmers, Halleck explained. Several swimmers had to call on support boats for aid, Ping reported. Crowds of swimmers kicked and ran into each other. "It's like spawning fish out there," Halleck laughed. Swimmers had to battle thick sections of lake weeds that wrapped around their necks, and waves made it hard to breathe and see, creating "sensory deprivation," Halleck said. "You can't hear much other than thrashing water, which can create a sense of anxiety if not outright panic."
Halleck, an avid open water swimmer, explained that these are things racers learn to deal with, but for those unfamiliar with it, it can be overwhelming. "If you swim in, you will swim out," he advised fellow racers.
Race appeals to pros and rookies alike
Up from around 260 participants in the inaugural 2009 race, Trinona has grown tremendously. Winona's topography is part of what has attracted triathletes. The misty bluffs and lake create an epic backdrop for the event. With the Garvin Heights climb, rolling hills, and flat sections among farm land, "you don't get a better bike course" than the Trinona course, Ping said. Even Halleck, a swimmer, admitted the bike course is the most important part of a triathlon, and Winona "has a really great setting."
Triathlon aficionados with wet suits, swept-back helmets, and spokeless carbon fiber bicycles were in full force on Sunday, but while the ranks of initiated and invested triathletes can be intimidating, there were less serious participants enjoying the event as well. A "sprint" distance triathlon cut the course roughly in half and spared participants the Garvin Heights climb. Teams competed in relays in which each member completed one leg of the triathlon, and kids raced in a youth-sized triathlon.
Ping related the story of a friend of his who raced last year while weighing 270 pounds. "He did it and loved it and got hooked," Ping said. This year his friend competed again, 35 pounds lighter and 25 minutes faster. "Anybody can do a triathlon," Ping encouraged would-be participants. "You don't have to win to do it and have fun."
"You look at this cadre of professional athletes that [Trinona] is bringing inthere are some really big names. At the same time you've got moms and dads who've never done this before, and they don't even know if they can do it," Halleck said. "What [Trinona founder] Dave Schutz and team have created is an event that is attractive to both professionals and laypeople."
Trinona 2014 is scheduled for Sunday, June 8. See www.trinona.com for more information.

AFRICA/SOUTH AFRICA - Still tensions for the miners made redundant, trade unionists targeted by mysterious killer
Johannesburg (Agenzia Fides) - "The situation remains very tense and one does not know what developments there will be in the coming hours" says to Fides Agency His Exc. Mgr. Kevin Dowling, Bishop of Rustenburg (South Africa), where the company Amplats, world leader of platinum extraction, announced on October 5 the dismissal of 12,000 of its 28,000 miners in a wildcat strike since September 12. On Saturday, October 6, during a meeting, hundreds of sacked miners protested peacefully but threatened to resort to violence if their demands are not met.
To increase the tension, on the night of October 7 a person was killed by mistake, in Marikana, while he was in the house of a unionist, who was the killers real target. This is the second unionist who has been object of an assassination attempt in Marikana, the scene of a violent union clash ended in the death of thirty miners in clashes with the police, on August 16. On October 5, a unionist of the Western Platinium mine was killed in the house. "At the basis of these two murders there is probably a clash between two unions," said Mgr. Dowling, who thinks there is also another hypothesis. "According to some, the first trade unionist killed was in possession of some information on the massacre of Marikana on August 16 that he wanted to share with the inquiring committee, but was killed before he could". These are only suppositions (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 08/10/2012)

Kanye West and Paul McCartney are recording music together, according to reports.
Shortly after canceling the Asian leg of his Out There Tour, Paul McCartney has been hospitalized in Tokyo, according to USA Today.
It's been just about four years since Paul McCartney played in Denver. In July of 2010, the Beatle, the then-68-year-old, the "sir" gave the Pepsi Center a "ridiculously charming" and "gorgeous" performance. Is it too soon for us to expect him to come back?
On Sunday night, "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles" paid tribute to the Beatles and the band's 50th year anniversary on the Ed Sullivan show with an event featuring Pharrell Williams, Dave Grohl, and, of course, the remaining living Beatles.
A week ahead of the release of "New," Paul McCartney stopped by "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" to perform two songs from the album and a Beatles classic.
At the age of 71, Paul McCartney has released the first single from his upcoming album of the same name, "New."
Watch the Bonnaroo live stream here, which includes performances by Paul McCartney, the XX, Wu-Tang Clan and more.
Paul McCartney appeared on "The Colbert Report" for an interview and a short set spanning material from the Beatles and Wings.
We've put together five bands that you shouldn't miss at Bonnaroo 2013. These are the acts you might not get another chance to see this year.
The full Outside Lands 2013 lineup was announced Tuesday morning, and the San Francisco event already looks to be one of the Top 3 festival lineups of 2013.

Novell Developer Concerned About OpenOffice.org
Novell developer Michael Meeks has warned of an increasing imbalance in the OpenOffice.org Project. His concerns: too few developers, inadequate code maintenance and the gradual withdrawal of companies like Sun.
In his blog, Meeks comes to some bitter conclusions regarding OpenOffice.org. Measured on downloads alone, the success of the project is obvious. But this is not the case when one looks at development and improvements, says Meeks. The code is bloated and poorly maintained, and he criticizes the difficulties developers have getting their snippets of code up-stream, which has many so frustrated they simply leave their codes in patches attached to bugs in the issue tracker.
To illustrate his misgivings, Meeks has produced graphics created using scripts from the project's version control system. These clearly show how far Sun has withdrawn from the project, with no other company jumping in to fill the gaps. In 2004, OpenOffice.org hit a highpoint with 70 developers. It's been all downhill since.
For Meeks, all is not well at OpenOffice.org. In his opinion, distancing the project from Sun (including the license conditions) would be one step on the road to recovery. Abolishment of the "political system" within the project, would be another. Meeks wants "developers in the driving seat", and he appeals for developer contributions. Meeks ensures us he is voicing his own opinion and not that of Novell or others.
Thanks for the hint! It's been corrected. -

10 Low-Cost Small Business Ideas
10. Wellness Instructor
Over a quarter of Americans are obese, which means there's plenty of work to go around in the fitness industry. In fact, employment in the fitness business is expected to increase 29 percent by 2018, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
You don't have to invest in expensive equipment to get started, because you can train your clients at the local gym, the Y, or even in the park, like those bootcamps that are so popular these days. Instead, invest a few hundred dollars in building a website and advertising. You can also put up flyers at local sports and fitness stores.
You should also get certified. A number of national certification programs such as the American Council on Exercise, International Sports Sciences Association, and American Fitness Professionals and Associates provide education and training in the personal fitness trainer field.

Street Fighter X Tekken Review
A marriage made in fighting heaven.
There are very few games that pull off crossovers successfully. Capcom seems to have a natural talent for them, having pitted their Street Fighter franchise against Marvel already and established a loyal fan following. The latest franchise to get the crossover treatment is the much loved Tekken, and as weird as that pairing may be, it's resulted in a game that features much of the loved elements of Street Fighter and much more.
With a roster of more than 40 characters to choose from there's plenty here to whet your appetite, with more characters being unlocked as you play through the game. For the first time though, the game packs a very intuitive 20-chapter tutorial, that goes through every single aspect of the game – from basic attacks to deadly combos, everything is explained in great detail. It's a great addition to the game given that it's easy to get lost in the different type of combos and moves that can be pulled off. You've also got access to two modes called Trial and Mission – Trial mode includes a number of different challenges to finish, while Mission mode pits you against other AI players with certain battle conditions.
After you've got your bearings in the game, you can instantly jump into the arcade or versus modes for some two-on-two fighting action. The two characters you choose can be swapped around at any time during combat, and can even pull off devastating combos together. You can even have all four players on the screen on the same time for some utter fighting chaos, but should one of your players be knocked out, the round is over.
Winning in Street Fighter X Tekken is all about managing the energy bar at the bottom of your screen, which is divided into three blocks. You can consume parts of the bar to pull off more advanced special moves, or summon your partner for a devastating combo attack. You also have a new feature called Pandora, which is sort of a last-minute attempt to win a match when you're being beaten. This mode will kill your main character and provide a large energy boost to your second character. You then have roughly eight seconds to beat the living crap out of your opponent and win the match – if the timer expires then you instantly lose the round. It's a mechanic that you might not always use, but it's great for when you're being smacked into oblivion in a corner. Also in this version of the game is the inclusion of gems. Gems can be equipped to your characters to dramatically alter your match, giving you either an attack or defense boost. The implementation is quite simple, but if you want to turn gems off in online play you can't which is a bit of a downer. Gems aren't easy to come by, as you're only awarded them as you improve your fighting skills.
After you've honed your skills on some offline play, you can take the battle online and pit your skills against other players. You can team up with a friend to take on online players, as well as check out match replays to pick up tips and skills from other expert players. Unfortunately, the online play does tend to get a bit erratic at times so it's less enjoyable than the offline modes. There's also a Fight Request mode thrown in which lets other players jump into the game and challenge your fighters.
Graphically the game looks very slick and smooth on the PS3, retaining the 2D animation style seen in previous Street Fighter games. The audio is also great, with the characters and background music staying true to the Street Fighter and Tekken universe respectively. Overall the game does deliver some fast-paced and often brutal action, and the well-laid out tutorial is a very welcome addition. Street Fighter X Tekken is a great game that despite the lack of a story mode manages to win you over with its no-nonsense gameplay and staggering roster of characters (including special characters on the PS3 version). If you've not played a crossover game yet, then this is the one to pick up without a doubt.

Writer, artist, father.
I'll be posting a lifetime's worth of recipes as I get the chance.
I enjoy ethnic cooking. Generally I cook during the week and my wife does Sunday dinner. I prefer to cook from 'scratch', especially those dishes which use tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs from our garden. In fact, I always try to start a recipe from the ground up; too many bottled sauces and packaged foods have vague pedigrees, so I'd rather not take the chance.
Caesar SaladThis was great. I had to use anchovy paste, but it worked well. I also added the zest from the lemon and a little black pepper. This is a new favourite. — stevemur 7/26/2011 |

The Waterboys' Mike Scott: "We could make magic on the head of a pin – U2 needed six artic trucks to do it!"
Mike Scott discusses the epic creation of Fisherman's Blues in the new issue of Uncut (dated November 2013), out now, as well as the competition between The Waterboys and U2.
"Was there competition between us? Bloody hell, yes," says Scott. "They were the big band in town – we wanted to depose them.
"I thought we wrote better songs and we could play better and we could make magic on the head of a pin – they needed six artic trucks to do it."
Scott talks about his relocation to Dublin, his rejection of The Big Music and embracing of folk, and the two years of intensive sessions for Fisherman's Blues – as well as the unreleased gems included on the mammoth Fisherman's Box set.
The November 2013 issue of Uncut is out now.

Victoria Griffith is the author of The Fabulous Flying Machines of Alberto Santos-Dumont and has worked as an international journalist, writing about everything from Julia Child to the Amazon rain forest.
How would Alberto, the real life hero of The Fabulous Flying Machines of Alberto Santos-Dumont, have celebrated his July 20th birthday?
As a boy growing up on a Brazilian coffee plantation, he might have spent the morning flying a kite. Alberto loved to watch the way the wind caught it and sent it dancing into the skies. When he invented the first airplane in 1906 (OK, I know there are still some of you out there who think it was the Wright Brothers), Alberto's creation looked a lot like a kite.
His wealthy parents would probably have given him a gift. Alberto would have been thrilled to get a book by his favorite author Jules Verne. The futuristic worlds of Verne's novels inspired Alberto to imagine some of the changes that lay ahead for the world. Did he dream that he would help make some of those futuristic dreams, such as flight, a reality?
As one of the most famous men in Paris in the late 1800s, he might also have thrown a party for himself. Alberto loved flying over the city in his dirigible, a steerable balloon that he used to fly around town. He wished everyone could know what it felt like to be that high up. People were delighted to attend Alberto's elevated dinner parties, where they would sit up on elevated chairs and tables to get a bit of the sensation of being on top of the world. His guest list would probably include Louis Cartier. Cartier invented the wristwatch for Alberto when his friend complained that it was hard to steer the dirigible and pull out his pocket watch at the same time.

Or maybe Alberto would have dropped in for a visit with another friend, Gustave Eiffel, who created and lived in the famous Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower became important to Alberto Santos-Dumont's own career when he flew his dirigible up and around the structure in under thirty minutes in 1901. The feat won him 100,000 francs in prize money, which he gave to his workers and Paris' poor.
The best present for Alberto, though, would have been the knowledge that more than one hundred years later, we still recognize his birthday. It would have made him very happy!
The Fabulous Flying Machines of Alberto Santos-Dumont by Victoria Griffith, Illustrated by Eva Montanari (Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2011) is available now where books are sold.

Specifications, Availability and Pricing
The LSI 9200 Series of products brought two big improvements to the table that until this point we had not seen before in this product class. The first is SAS 2.0, the latest 6Gb/s interface that doubles the amount of available bandwidth per connection to each drive or lane connected to a SAS expander. The second technology leap comes from the way the controller interfaces with the motherboard. For the first time PCIe 2.0 technology was used and it doubles the bandwidth from the controller to the system.
For the last couple of years we have been able to saturate the PCIe 1.0 interface with eight hard drives. With the introduction of solid state and very high performance 15K drives, we were able to reach the limits of PCIe 1.0 with as few as four drives. By moving to PCIe 2.0 technology LSI was able to double the bandwidth to the host system and still keep the 8x lane connector.
The 9280-8E uses two SFF-8088 miniSAS ports on the back of the card that connect to external enclosures via a miniSAS cable. Each SFF-8088 port passes 4 lanes that can then be expanded with SAS expanders or port multipliers. The 9280-8E is able to expand to 240 drives total. Since SAS 2.0 doubles the available bandwidth per lane, it is possible to see significant performance increases when SAS 2.0 expanders are also used.
To further increase the speed of the storage system, the 9280-8E has 512 MB of 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM built into the card.
LSI includes software to configure the controller and the amount of control given to the user is staggering. LSI also offers drivers for just about every operating system including Linux and Apple.
When it comes to availability, we found several e-tailers carrying the new 9200 Series products. The MSRP for the 9280-8E was set at 859 USD, but we were able to find it as low as 700 USD and Newegg currently has retail stock at 744.99.

All three films in Yukihiko Tsutsumi's live-action 20th Century Boys trilogy based on the manga by Naoki Urasawa.
Thirty years after they whiled away the long days of the school holidays by playing at being crime fighters, Kenji Endo and his friends find that their lives are about to be changed for ever. A series of unexplained deaths and the rise of a strange religious cult seem to be recreating the games that Kenji played with his friends all those years ago. At that time, they wrote down the storylines of the games in a 'Book of Prophecies'. Now those prophecies seem to be coming true. Unsure of what is happening, Kenji reforms his childhood gang and sets out to discover what is going on.

The Design Challenge
The Ultimate Pint Glass, a toughened glass that causes less harm when smashed, is one of more than ten innovations developed as part of the Design Out Crime Design Challenge. It was created by a team from Design Bridge, Arc International and the Royal College of Art.
The problem
Alcohol-related crime costs the UK £8-13bn a year and the NHS alone spends £2.7bn dealing with the consequences, such as injuries from assaults. One of the biggest risks is 'glassing', when attackers turn smashed bottles and glasses into weapons.
An obvious solution is to make people drink from plastic vessels in all contexts, not just festivals and gigs, but this would diminish people's drinking experience and harm business.
The solution
The Ultimate Pint Glass is made from toughened glass that's much harder to smash. But if it does, it shatters, making it useless as a weapon. So the chances of being injured by glass if trouble breaks out in a pub, bar or club are massively reduced.
Initial research at the Royal College of Art identified various ways to gain the safety of plastic while maintaining the drinking experience of glass. Multiple variants of plastic/glass laminate were then explored by Bridge Design to discover what felt good and was manufacturable. But beyond that, how would you create more value for the pub, bar or club owner – how would you incentivize them to help save money for the NHS?
The answer was in certain features that aided pouring and made the glass five times more durable. The Ultimate Pint Glass is not just a safer glass, it's a better glass.
The Ultimate Pint Glass sold more than double the volume of its UK sales overseas in 2012. The glass is selling well in South Africa, New Zealand, Canada and Australia. Arc International sense a chance to transform their industry. They now make nine Ultimate glasses of different sizes and weights.

Actress and political activist Miriam Karlin has died aged 85, following a battle with cancer.
Karlin, who was best known for playing Paddy in TV sitcom The Rag Trade, also appeared in Stanley Kubrick's film A Clockwork Orange. She was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company in the seventies and appeared opposite Laurence Olivier in the film version of The Entertainer. Karlin also starred as Golde in the original West End production of the musical Fiddler on the Roof.
She was also well known as a political activist – both for Equity and for many left-wing causes. Karlin was awarded an OBE for her union and welfare work.
Malcolm Sinclair, Equity president, said: "We've lost one of the dearest members of the Equity family, a wonderful actress, and a great trade unionist. She was the main reason I ever committed myself to the union and this will be true for many, many of us. A very sad day, but she remains both an example and huge inspiration. She was also very, very funny, and we loved her for it."
Equity spokesman Martin Brown added: "She was a wonderful actress, an absolutely indefatigable campaigner and a marvellous friend. We will miss her enormously."
Karlin died this morning, June 3, at St John's Hospital in St John's Wood.
A full obituary will appear in a future print edition of The Stage.
