The throwers at Washington just might be the best-kept secret around. Even the most casual followers of collegiate track and field know how loaded the distance teams are for the Huskies, but the big boys on the throwers team might be just as good. Led by senior All-American Zack Midles, the men's throwers pack a powerful punch.
"It's taken us a few years to build up to be a great team." Midles said. "We have four returning All-Americans, the most of any group on the team, I think. There are about 15 of us that are always training together."
That cohesiveness and team intimacy is one of the main reasons the throwers have such potential for success.
"We all try and push each other," Midles explained. "From day one, the coaches teach us team unity, and we really have that. The most important thing is winning."
The throwers are coached by Reedus Thurmond, and while he'll acknowledge that his young protégés show great promise, he is quick to point out they haven't done anything yet this year.
"I can't say we've done anything until the season starts," Thurmond said. "Until they all start performing. They definitely have the potential to be really, really good.
"We're really deep in just about every event, and we should compete to win in every event in the Pac-10 level, and we have some kids that should be competing to win at the national level."
Thurmond has reason to be excited. Very few of his throwers participated in indoor track and have been shelved for almost a year, some even longer because of injuries. The product he puts out on the field this season will feel almost new. As a matter of fact, the athlete Thurmond is most excited to watch is completely new to collegiate track.
"I'm excited to see them all, but probably the most is Joe Zimmerman, my freshman javelin thrower," Thurmond said. "He looks like he's ready to hang with a lot of the top javelin throwers in the country. Obviously, it's early. He hasn't competed yet, and training is different than competing. But judging by his training, he's ready to be thrown right into the mix."
Although he has a lot of young talent, Thurmond acknowledges that it's his veterans who are the heart and soul of this team.
"It's going to be hard to lose Zack [after this year]," Thurmond said. "He and Peter Follmer are great leaders. Zack is such a big part of what motivates this group to be great."
Thurmond also hopes that junior Cameron Elisara will come throw for him once he's done with spring football. Elisara competed in 2008 and placed 12th in the shot put at the Pac-10 Championships.

Comedian Chris Rock was inspired by Jay-Z and Kanye's collaborative effort "Watch the Throne," so much so that he wants to do a comedy tour in a similar fashion.
He would like to join forces with Dave Chappelle and hit the road, he says, "I've been talking to Chappelle a lot. Been trying to get Chappelle to go on tour. You know I'm not the hard one laughing. But I'm trying to make that happen. After seeing Kanye and Jay-Z, I was like, 'Me and Dave should do this."

Glittering Red Hearts At Memory Lane
I had moved some stuff around so that rack of clothing could be there for a couple weeks. Typically, the booth is more about decor, not clothing, but we will see if it moves or not.

That really looks cheerful! Reminds my of the Valentine tree my mother used to put on the table every year. She took a small tree branch,sprayed it white (I suppose you would use glitter!!) and stick it in a nice vase. She cut out cupids and hearts from red and pink construction paper, run a need and thread through the top and hang them. In later years she did "theme" trees for other occasions, with a black branch, for example, for Halloween. I still have those valentine cutouts and would like to use them, but think the cats might "like" them too much!

The hearts add some "look at me" flair. Every booth needs some of that, as we're all competing for a customer's eye. My sister and I sell handknitted scarves and hats in our booth and need something to display them well. I am always on the lookout for a good display stand for those.

MEDFORD, Ore. – Flying can be difficult for the everyday traveler, but for children with disabilities, the experience can be even harder, but a first-of-its-kind program in Southern Oregon wants to help.
Alaska Airlines is teaming with the non-profit Families for Community for an event to teach families with children with disabilities about the challenges of air travel, and ways to create a better travel experience.
On February 9th, 25 families will meet at the Medford Airport, and will go through a simulated travel experience; from buying a ticket, going to security, boarding a plane, taxiing on the runway, and going to the baggage claim. Organizers from Families for Community said each step poses challenges for people with disabilities, and this event will help show how to deal with them.
"By doing this, we're creating a curriculum that can be used in other areas all across the pacific northwest," said Emilie Sampson of Families for Community.
The group said the upcoming event is fully booked, but they are putting extra families on a waiting list for future events.

Unlike its archrival Adobe Photoshop, Corel PaintShop Pro will not move to subscription-only pricing. The next edition of Corel's photo editing software for Microsoft Windows is being released to current customers on Thursday, with public availability slated for September 4, said a Corel senior product manager.
X6's predecessor, Corel PaintShop Pro X5, was very feature-rich, with new capabilities like face recognition, mapping, and ShareMyTrip, noted Rick Champagne, senior product manager for Corel's photo and video products, in a briefing for DigitalCameraReview.
"But with X6, we decided to take a step back and look to the future," he told DigitalCameraReview. "We conducted the largest user study in the history of PaintShop Pro."
Corel Wants More Customers
Results showed 76 percent of PaintShop Pro users to be photo enthusiasts and 21 percent to be using the software in their careers, for purposes such as office newsletters, classroom lesson plans, business presentations, and digital signage. Only 3 percent are professional photographers.
In contast, 5 percent of Photoshop's users are professional photographers. PaintShop Pro is also "higher in photo enthusiasts but lower in 'use in career,'" according to Champagne.
With X6, he suggested, Corel wants to continue to meet the evolving needs of enthusiasts -- or "serious hobbyists" -- while attracting more users among the other two groups. Some 58 percent of Corel's enthusiast users compete in photo contests, he observed.
Survey: Users Don't Like Subscription Pricing
Also in the study, Corel determined that, when given three choices, 81 percent of current customers would be either ver likely to choose a non-subscription plan -- ro "purchase the software as it is is offered today." (Other possible choices here included "neither unlikely nor likely," "somewhat unlikely," and "very unlikely.")
Yet 69 percent said they would be "very unlikely" to choose a 12-month subscription plan, and 83 percent would be "very unlikely" to opt for a month-by-month subscription.
"So we have made the decision not to offer subscription plans for PaintShop Pro X6," Champagne said. Corel, he added, will not take the step to subscription pricing for PaintShop Pro unless users show that this is their preference.
The survey also indicated that customers wanted to see improvements such as a refined user interface (UI) and speed enhancements to effects, brushes, and file Open/Save.
Cleaner UI, Smoother Workflow, New Tools, and a 64-Bit Architecture
Consequently, X6 will offer a cleaner UI; smoother workflow between the Adjust, Manage, and Edit sections of the UI; and a faster 64-bit architecture for both the Pro version and the pricier Ultimate edition. Users will be able to install either a 32-bit or 64-bit edition of either package on their PCs.
Also new are a Discovery Center with video tutorials, an Auto Selection tool for "quickly selecting an object by dragging a window," and a Smart Selection Brush for "creating a selection with a quick brushstroke," Champagne said.
In addition, for the first time, Corel will offer the PDF Users Guide within the software itself. In X5, Corel included a portion of the Users Guide within the software, but users had to go to the online Corel Community in order to access the full guide.
Also in X6, Corel wanted to create more value for the Ultimate Edition, according to Champagne. As a result, Ultimate now rolls in more than $300 in professional quality photo editing tools, including a set of automatic image correction tools called Perfectly Clear, along with a collection of royalty-free images, brushes and textures.
Those who purchase either Corel PaintShop Pro or Corel PaintShop Pro Ultimate will also get "free standard membership" privileges which include free webinars, plus downloads of KPT Collection Plugins (32-bit only); service packs; a content pack with brushes, picture frames, and picture tubes; and the PaintShop Pro X6 Scripting Guide and API, for "automating and extending PaintShop Pro," he said.
Corel is pricing the software at $79.99 for PaintShop Pro X6 (or $59.99 for an upgrade) and $99.99 for PaintShop Pro X6 Ultimate (or $79.99 for an upgrade). A bundle combing PaintShop Pro X6 and VideoStudio Pro X6 -- Photo & Video Suite X6 -- will be priced at $129.
Starting September 4, product information will be available on Corel's web site.

Fleas and ticks still bug your pets during winter
UPDATED: Friday, April 13, 2012 - 8:54am
WACO -- Even with the weather cooling off parasites can still bug your pets.
While most people believe ticks and fleas die off in the winter months, experts say they can actually flourish in cold weather as they've taken up refuge inside.
And some research shows there are more fleas in the fall than in spring or summer.
"In Texas we don't really have much of a winter. It very rarely stays cold for very long. We have our cold snaps where it may get really cold for three or four days and then you may have a week where it's back up in the 70s and in order to really get rid of fleas and/or ticks for any length of time it needs to stay persistently cold," said Dr. Jennifer Bonnell, a veterinarian at Crossroads Animal Clinic.
Bonnell said using a liquid treatment that goes on the skin of the animal once a month will do the trick.

5. Pasta cooking water should be as salty as the sea.
A light sprinkling of salt in the pot isn't nearly enough to bring out the flavor of the noodles. But how much salt does it take to taste like the ocean? Italian cooking authorities vary on their proportions of salt to water. And they're not always specific about the type of salt, either, which can make a difference: A tablespoon of kosher salt is less than the equivalent volume of table salt because the larger crystals of kosher salt take up more space in a measuring spoon. In general, 2 to 3 tablespoons of regular table salt for 6 quarts of water seems to be the optimum.
6. Your pasta will stick together unless you put a little oil in the cooking water.
Italian food authorities may not agree on a lot of things, but they do concur on this: Putting a bit of olive oil in the pasta water is worthless. It doesn't keep pasta from sticking, and it's a waste of a precious ingredient. Plenty of boiling water, they'll tell you, is all that's needed to keep the pasta strands separate. What the authorities don't agree on is how much water qualifies as plenty: Recommendations can vary from 4 to 6 quarts of water for every pound of dried or fresh pasta. (An important reminder, less obvious than it sounds: If you want to use 6 quarts of water, you'll need an 8-quart pot to hold both the water and the pasta.)
7. Pasta should be cooked in an uncovered pot.
The water should be at a rolling—if not roiling—boil when you add the pasta, and the fastest way to get the water to that point is to cover the pot. Once the pasta goes in, give it several good stirs, but then you want to get that water back to a strong boil as fast as possible. No less an authority than Italy's cooking bible, The Silver Spoon, recommends that you cover the pot to speed up the process. I like to leave the lid slightly ajar, just enough so that I can see into the pot and know when it's back up at a furious boil. At that point, the lid comes off for good; continue to stir occasionally.
8. The package directions tell you all about cooking time.
Don't rely on the timing printed on the packages of pasta you buy—dried or fresh. Instead, finishing the cooking in an open pot makes it easy to dip in and taste-test the noodles yourself for doneness. Al dente is the Italian expression that describes properly cooked pasta—meaning there's a pleasant toothsome chew to the noodle. Yet to truly bring your pasta dish to the next level, stop a few minutes short of al dente and do like the cognoscenti: See myth #11.
9. Using a colander is the best way to drain your pasta.
If you're using what the experts call "plenty" of boiling water (4 to 6 quarts) to cook your pasta, draining it in a colander takes skill, even luck. First you need muscles to lift a heavy, hot pot and carry it to the sink. Then you've got to tilt the pot just right, aiming the cascading water so the pasta lands in the colander. This tricky step is further complicated by billowing steam that clouds your vision, foggy glasses or not. Add a couple of curious toddlers to the mix, or a slick spot on the floor, and you've got a recipe for disaster. What's more, you're dumping down the drain a precious resource for finishing your sauce: the pasta water itself. More on that in myth #12.
For all these reasons, many cooks swear by pasta pots with a strainer insert. The removable inner liner is deep and perforated with colander-like holes. The only thing you need to lift is the liner, and up comes the pasta with it, leaving the water behind.
The cheapest solution is to keep a pair of tongs and a wire-mesh skimmer handy, to scoop the pasta directly into a skillet or serving bowl that you position right next to the pot. (When that's done, push the pot of hot water to the back of the stove. By the time dinner's over, the water will have cooled off and the danger will be past.)

The last time I ran the car it had a lid and 3.73s and my best was 13.2 @ 109. My best 60' ever before with the WS6 was a 1.95 so I know there was some left on the table before. I'm really happy with the choice of parts. My goal was to have an NA low 12 second car that had great driveability and look stock. My next goal is of course the 11's :D I plan to acheive that with a little atmosphere in a bottle ;)

Daily Freeman - Four, including two police officers, accused in Orange theft case
Four, including two police officers, accused in Orange theft case
GOSHEN - Four people, including two police officers, have been charged in connection with a multijurisdictional investigation into the theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from Wal-Mart stores in Orange County.
Computer software, razors, and other items of small size but high retail value, including flat screen TVs, were taken.
"Our surveillance indicated this was almost a nightly event in the past several months," said Orange County District Attorney Frank Phillips. "We've got two small truckloads of property that was seized as a result of search warrants that we are in the process of inventorying and securing."
On Tuesday, investigators from the Orange County District Attorney's Office, Wal-Mart security, and police from the towns of New Windsor, Newburgh and Montgomery executed seven search warrants at several locations and recovered large amounts of stolen goods. A large amount of the stolen property had been sold on eBay. EBay officials cooperated in the investigation.
Charged were Bryan Dunn, 36, of Maybrook; Kevin Burchell, 27, of Montgomery, a village of Tuxedo police officer; Clifford Barber III, 41, of Walden, a town of Montgomery police officer; and LaQuionus Pressley, 29, of Newburgh.
Dunn was charged with felony grand larceny, offering a false instrument for filing and three counts of filing a false tax return.
Burchell was charged with two counts each of felony offering a false instrument for filing and filing a false income tax return.
Barber was charged felony grand larceny, and three counts each of offering a false instrument for filing and filing a false income tax return.
Pressley was charged felony grand larceny.

Barbie Gets A Stephen Jones Holiday Makeover
The mini fashion icon has just been given a special holiday makeover from master milliner, Stephen Jones, and the new look is set to launch at London's Selfridge's Toy Shop on Friday. Jones created five limited edition couture looks for the doll: Happy Holly, Toffee Ice, Santa Baby, Snow Globe, and Christmas Tree. The ensembles range from glittery gowns, velvet minis, and tulle capes, to a light-up tree hat and antler headpiece (we think Gaga would approve).
Jones isn't the first designer to dress Barbie though; the icon has a closet full of designer duds. Past designers and brands include Burberry, Chanel, Versace, and Christian Louboutin, who slipped Barbie's legs into those infamous thigh-high, magenta fringed boots.
The dolls are priced at a whopping 250 British pounds, or around $399 each, and will be available November 15 at Selfridges. And even though we may not be able to fly to London to get our hands on the one-of-a-kind dolls, we know they'll be showing up on Ebay in no time.
Click through the slideshow above to see all five looks and to check out some more of Barbie's fashionable wardrobe.

Planning a wedding involves more than just the man and wife. When couples are getting married for the second time there can be children involved from previous relationships. The blended family has become a beautiful part of new wedding traditions. What is a blended family or blended wedding? When two people fall in love after previous relationships or divorces, most of the time there are kids or step children. The combining of two or more families is referred to as a 'blended' family. The blending of two families can be a symbolic time for any couple. One thing they teach in blended family counseling is that children of divorce and new marriages need reassurance. In the beginning, the children might struggle to accept the new change but incorporating them into your wedding ceremony is a beautiful way to break the ice and make them feel comfortable. And the process doesn't have to be a difficult time; involving kids in your wedding can be a great memory for everyone.
The traditional wedding ceremony features symbolic readings and scriptures. Instead of having your friends or siblings speak at your ceremony, consider having your children recite a poem or story. Their involvement is a tangible symbol of your new life together. They'll be more apt to grow together with you as a couple and a family if they're part of the ceremony and readings. Couples are choosing to incorporate their family into their wedding vows by changing the words "I Do" to "We Do" or "Do you take this family". With these new vows the ceremony becomes a proclamation of the new commitment to each other and your families. A promise to a child is a beautiful way to assure them your new relationship won't overshadow your commitment to your family and their future.
{Wedding Ceremony Supplies: Mosaic Unity Masterpiece, Decanter Wedding Sand Set, Flower Girl Basket, Classic Unity Sand, Engraved Rose Ceremony, Floral Ring Pillow, Second Marriage Candle Set, Unity Sand Ceremony Heart Vase}
A popular way to incorporate children into your wedding is to have them be a flower girl or ring boy. If your children are older, consider having a candle lighting ceremony. The unity sand ceremony and candle lighting ceremony can all be adapted to include children. Instead of using two colors of sand, add different bright colored sand for each child. They'll be able to help you in your ceremony and acknowledge their place in your life. While we know that children are forever, it is nice to show them and recognize them. They'll love being in front of everyone and showing their place in the family. A candle lighting ceremony is a popular choice for older kids. Each person has a tapered candle that they use to light one larger candle. A blended family ceremony is about more than proclaiming your vows. Incorporating a unity ceremony can be a tangible way to show your child your commitment.
After you've exchanged family vows and commitment ceremony, the family ceremony can be incorporated into your reception as well. A blended family wedding can be the symbolic part of the wedding and the reception can be the celebration! During the reception, instead of having a typical bride and groom dance have a family dance. The father can dance with the daughters and the mother can dance with the sons. If there is one child or an odd number, you can all dance together. Pick a fun song such as "We Are Family" for kids to relate to. Near the end of the song, as your other immediate family members to join in. Coming together for a symbolic first dance will confirm and celebrate the new blended family. Remember that "we" now means family. When you have a toast or cut the cake, involve the children. If they're old enough to choose to sit out, don't force them but if they're young enough to enjoy it they will remember how it made them feel. Combining families and blending two lives together will make them feel confused at first, but if you celebrate and involve your new children they'll remember happy memories of growing together.
Incorporating fun unity ceremony sand in different colors and sharing a loud obnoxious first dance are great ways to create memorable moments together. A blended family means that there are more people to consider and feelings to respect so be sure to ask everyone how they want to be included. Maybe your older children would like to be a best man or bridesmaids while younger children would like to carry the flower basket or help with lighting a unity ceremony candle. Each person will have different ways of coping with the change. The best way to blend two families together is to involve everyone in a memorable and celebratory way!

So last week, this big story out of Duke University went viral. Basically, a female student made an in-depth PowerPoint presentation ranking the, um, performance of 13 members of various Duke athletic teams. The presentation which was only intended for a small group, got on the internet and the rest is history.
As soon as I saw it on Jezebel, I read the whole thing (obviously), then I thought, this girl is going to get a book deal. Sure enough, by the next day several producers and agents had contacted Jezebel to get her contact info. (Note: language on links is NSFW)
I'm not even jealous. She's a good writer and it was obviously a subject matter that held my attention enough to read the entire thing. (Not just for entertainment value. It's a sort of weird sociological snapshot of this very privileged, insular, Southern world. And the casual racism is both disturbing and completely unsurprising) But I can't help but feel, well, depressed at the entire situation.
I thought about this again this morning when I read Garance Dore's blog post of her recent experience in Paris getting an invitation to a masquerade ball at Karl Lagerfeld's house. As I read, smiling at her account of hearing other people talk about this major party she'd been left out of and then cheering with her when Carine herself stopped by to extend a personal invitation, I thought, again, this girl is going to get a book deal. She's charming, she writes well, and she knows how to tell a story.
As far as I know, Dore does not have a deal for any fiction books, but I hope I am eventually proved right, again. If only to provide some much needed balance on the bookshelves.

The Quest for the Golden Nintendo Game

The Tetris Masters
"If it's a Nintendo game, one of the world's best [players] lives right here in Portland," intones the Oregon news anchor. Cut to Robin Mihara, a cherubic 13-year-old fresh off a third-place finish at the Nintendo World Championships.
"Hand-eye coordination. Finger speed," Mihara says to the reporter as he sets another personal best record on the NES version of Tetris, stacking up perfect, unbroken rows of blocks. He pulls out his Christmas present, a Power Glove motion controller, speeding along in Rad Racer with flicks of his gray-gloved wrist. Robin is the Nintendo savant every kid wanted to be in 1990.
Mihara saw the Nintendo World Championships as his chance to test his skills against the best of the best. He didn't know anybody in Portland as good as himself, and he'd all but stopped buying NES games altogether: He beat them so quickly it made more sense to rent them for a weekend instead.
The Nintendo World Championships were just one part of PowerFest, a consumer show that let gamers immerse themselves in three full days of Nintendo bliss. Besides competing in the tournament, kids could be the first to try yet-to-be-released games like Final Fantasy and River City Ransom. Or they might meet and seek advice from the Nintendo Game Counselors, the team of mulleted experts that normally dished out gaming tips on the company's lucrative 900-number phone service.
The festival toured 30 cities across the U.S. throughout 1990. Each regional event would crown one champion in each of three age groups. Each of these 90 winners would receive a few small prizes but most importantly an all-expenses-paid trip to Hollywood later that year to compete in the championships at Universal Studios. The prizes, besides world fame, included a $10,000 savings bond and a brand-new car, a Geo Metro.
When he arrived at the convention center, the scene blew Mihara away. "It was a huge expo center, bigger than a basketball stadium or something," recalls Mihara, now a 34-year-old graduate student and married with children. "The regionals were massive, 15 huge trailer trucks…. There was a skateboard ramp, there were monitors and monitors of free play."
For the millions of kids who loved Nintendo but would never be as good as Mihara, it was like they'd built a mecca right in Portland.
Mihara knew the games in the championship were Super Mario Bros., Rad Racer and Tetris, and he practiced them before the event. What he couldn't have known was just how different the competition game would be.
The Nintendo World Championships used a pastiche of small snippets of the three games, and a strict, total time limit of 6 minutes, 21 seconds. First, the player had to collect 50 coins in Super Mario Bros. Next, he would tackle a specially designed course in Rad Racer. The player then used the balance of the allotted time to rack up as high a score as possible in Tetris.
The goal, strategically, was to blow through the first two levels to make it to the Tetris phase as quickly as possible.
"I heard of one guy setting up three Nintendos [at home] to try to practice all three games in a row," Mihara says, "but you couldn't really re-create it." To make matters even more difficult, it cost $3 at the PowerFest every time you wanted to try your luck at the game. The top scorers at the event were the ones who traveled to multiple Nintendo World Championships and got in the most practice, trying out different tactics to max out their scores, he says.
Mihara easily did well enough in his first attempt to make it to the semifinal rounds, where he had one chance to score high enough to get into the finals. Along the way, he discovered that, no, he was not the best player in the world: Other kids in his age bracket played Tetris at superhuman speeds he couldn't even comprehend. But he figured he could hang, maybe even squeak out a victory if the blocks went his way.
He was playing perfectly. He built his perfect, unbroken wall of bricks. All he needed was the four-bar — the vertical stack of blocks every Tetris player covets, the only one that lets you clear four lines at once. Mihara waited and waited, but the long piece never came. He built his perfect wall high, high, all the way up to the top of the screen, and got a Game Over. His eyes welled up with tears.
There was still a glimmer of hope. One of those kids with the crazy Tetris skills mentioned he was planning on following the PowerFest to its stop in Oakland, California, a few months later in October. That summer, when he wasn't practicing Tetris, he was mowing lawns, saving every penny he could get his hands on. He and his mom caught the bus to Oakland, and with months of intense Tetris under his belt, Mihara dominated, routinely setting scores of almost 2 million points, blowing the competition away. He was going to Hollywood.
But first, he decided on an intelligence-gathering mission. Though he was already set for the finals, he took his meager $250 winnings from the Oakland regionals and invested it right back into his quest, flying to Tampa, Florida, to scope the competition at the last PowerFest regional before the big game.
There he made an unsettling discovery: 2 million points was chump change. The best players were closing in on a top score of 4 million. To do this, they were playing Super Mario Bros. in a way that nobody had thought of before. They would collect a cache of coins, then deliberately kill off Mario, then collect them again. Mihara studied them as they played, then returned home and furiously practiced the new Mario run.
When he arrived at Universal Studios on Dec. 7 for the grand finals, it was clear that those who had practiced the Mario-murdering routine held an advantage. Going to Tampa for reconnaissance had paid off.
But Mihara was no match for the unbelievable Tetris speed of another young competitor, Texan seventh-grader Thor Aackerlund. Mihara did his best in the finals, but ended up coming up heartbreakingly short. He'd scored 2.5 million, while Thor racked up 2.9 million to emerge as world champion. Thor claimed the savings bond, the Geo Metro convertible and other top prizes.
But there was something Mihara wanted almost as much as victory.
Before the PowerFest tour finished, Nintendo had launched its contest for the gold Nintendo World Championships cartridges in Nintendo Power magazine. But the company had not announced any plans to give cartridges to winners or finalists in the competition. Mihara says two of the parents of the top players, having driven their children around for months going to regional events, tried to convince a Nintendo representative to hand out the games to their kids, too.
"The word Thor used was, they 'cornered' [Nintendo's] Howard Philips and they brought up that they thought the kids should get them, because they kids had worked hard for these things and they were more deserving than some [magazine] contest winner," he says. "Howard saw the truth in it."
Later that day, Philips announced to the crowd of kids and families that every one of them would get one of the Nintendo World Championships cartridges to take home. The crowd let out a mighty roar.
"It was pretty crazy," Mihara says. "A lot of these families, this had been their whole life that year. We were paying $3 a pop to play the game. I was dreaming of having one someday…. I just remember a roar of happiness louder than anything I'd ever heard. Parents hugging who didn't know each other."
A month later, Mihara got his Nintendo World Championships cartridge in the mail. He didn't stop playing it until he'd broken 4 million points.
Years later, with professional gaming on the rise, Mihara revels in being one of the original e-sport athletes. "When I was 13, people older than me would roll their eyes when they heard I was a videogame champion," he says. "It's finally getting respect 20 years later."
Jason Wilson's Magnificent Seven
Jason Wilson, an editor at videogame magazine Tips & Tricks, collected Nintendo games way before it was cool. Nobody collected Nintendo games in 1998. Nintendo had discontinued the NES three years earlier, and was publishing new games for the system as late as 1994.
A coalition of classic gaming collectors wrote up rarity lists and price guides, distributing them through Usenet newsgroups, but they looked down on Nintendo. Atari was all they cared about. Newcomer Nintendo didn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the sainted Atari 2600.
But Wilson cared, and he foresaw a day when plenty of other people would, too. So he went to great lengths to build up his collection, buying out retailers, making friends with game developers he met on the job. He learned all about the rare and collectible Nintendo games and bought them up. Eventually, he started thinking about the Nintendo World Championships cartridges Nintendo had given away seven years prior.
Wilson figured that because Nintendo Power always printed, in some tiny corner on a back page, the names and home towns of every reader who'd won one of its giveaways, there must be a list in a back issue of everyone who owned a gold cartridge. Some of those people probably still lived in the same geographic areas.
The Tetris block fell into place. Click. Could it really be that easy?
No, it wasn't easy — but it worked. Wilson started looking up the names on the list, and began finding the winners. At that point, buying the crazy old Nintendo games they'd won in a random contest when they were kids was the easy part. One sold his cartridge to Wilson for $50.
When it was all over, Wilson had not one, not two, but seven Holy Grails.
He later sold six of them to other collectors, but he remains extremely protective of his investments. Information is power in the cutthroat world of game collecting, and Wilson won't tell other collectors which of the names on the list he was able to get the games from. He also keeps meticulous track of how much each of his original seven cartridges has sold for each time it has changed hands. The copy of Nintendo World Championships that made headlines when it sold for a record $17,500 was one of his seven, and Wilson can effortlessly reel off its history.
"He bought it from a guy in New York, who bought it from a guy who was in St. Louis, who bought it from a guy in Florida, and I sold it to the guy in Florida," he says. "It went from me selling it to a guy for $6,500, and him needing money really bad and selling it for $2,700, and the $2,700 guy sold it for 15 grand, and 15 grand guy sold it for 17.5."
The price keeps going up. One of Wilson's seven games sold earlier this year to a collector for an undisclosed amount, which Wilson says to the best of his knowledge is a new record high. But we won't know for sure just how much the Holy Grail is worth until someone puts another one up on eBay.

She definitely needed a hug or two, trouble is if any of us even tried, she'd probably do horrible....horrible things to us all, given her psychotically violent disposition.
I really like how striking the features look in this piece by the way, I find it hard to stare into the eyes for too long though given how terrifying that stare of hers is (compliment.) After seeing the movie nearly a dozen times that woman still scares the living hell out of me.

Penny Wong's deregulation load
PUBLISHED: 13 Apr 2012 00:06:15 | UPDATED: 13 Apr 2012 00:32:25PUBLISHED: 13 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 13 Apr 2012Alan Moran
Penny Wong's "Cut red tape and business will thrive" (Opinion, May 12) demonstrated she, like many other politicians, has no idea how business regulation hurts productivity. She draws upon some highly qualified estimates by the Productivity Commission to claim that her deregulatory measures will save $4 billion a year.
The PC is clear that this estimate is not only speculative, but also depends on the implementation being perfect. And within the saving, there is an estimated additional cost for small business because the harmonised occupational health regulations are more onerous for smaller firms.
More significantly, the minister makes the same mistake as the former Victorian government in equating a red tape reduction with genuine deregulation. To an incredulous business community, the Brumby government claimed it had reduced regulation by 25 per cent.
At best, such measures amount to regulatory simplification. This is welcome but these paper burden costs are only a tiny proportion – perhaps less than 5 per cent –of the overall costs of regulation. Wong brought us the massive increase in business's regulatory burden that is the Clean Energy Act and has supported a host of other laws that impede business. She would need to start tearing down these regulatory barriers to have the credibility of a road to Damascus conversion to removing obstacles to business that she now claims to support.

Information about the new bin service
News release PR 2148
Issued 9 January 2013
Unfortunately the event due to be held at Hunstanton Tesco store on Friday 25 January has been cancelled. We apologise for any inconvenience.
A new
bin collection service will begin in west Norfolk on 2 April.
Residents are invited to attend one of the drop-in sessions being
held this month to find out more about the new service.
The new bins will be on display and staff will be on hand to
explain how the new service will work and to answer any queries that people may have.
The drop-in events are as follows:
20 January – Around the World in 80 Dishes event held at the King's
Lynn Corn Exchange (1.30 - 4pm)
21 January – King's Court, council office, King's Lynn
22 January – Downham Market council office (10am
25 January – Hunstanton council office (10am -
25 January – Tesco, Hunstanton (5-7pm)
26 January –
Sainsbury's, Hardwick (10am-12.30pm)
Cllr Brian Long, Cabinet Member for Environment, said: "We
currently recycle 37% of west Norfolk's waste. With residents'
help, we think the new service should help us to increase that
figure to 50%. It will also save council tax payers around £1
million per year, which will help to keep council tax low and
protect vital services.
"We want to make it as easy as possible for people to help us
recycle and we'll be providing lots of information and support. The
drop-in sessions will give people a chance to ask any questions
they may have. Further information will be delivered to people's
homes and we'll be putting it on our website too."
From 2 April black wheelie bins (which contain household rubbish)
and green wheelie bins (which contain household recycling) will be
collected on alternate weeks. All homes will also receive a
grey 23-litre outside food bin and a grey 7-litre kitchen
caddy for food waste. The food waste bin will be collected every
People will be able to dispose of food waste in the new food
bins. Vegetable peelings, leftovers, eggs shells, meat bones and
all food, cooked and uncooked can be put in the bins. No packaging
(plastic wrapping, or foil trays, for example) should be put into
the food bin.
The food collection service will mean that even more material can
be recycled. The contents of the food bins will be composted so it
is very important that people only use compostable bin liners or
newspaper to line their food bins. Plastic liners and carrier bags
are not compostable; if these are used in the food bin, crews will
not empty the bin. Each household will receive an initial supply of
50 compostable bags. The bags will be available to buy from council
offices and leisure centres at £1.15 for a roll of 50 when the new
service begins. Compostable bags will also be on sale in local
When the new service starts some collection days may change. People
will be notified of any changes to their collection days.
The brown bin
garden waste collection service will not be affected. There is
a charge of £39 per year for this service.

Death Comes to Pemberley
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentI love reading about the continued stories of Elizabeth and Darcy and a mystery seemed like it might be fun. I had heard quite a bit about this when it came out, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The writing and dialogue was appropriate for an Austen spin-off, but there wasn't any suspense or intrigue really.
Boring. Oddly enough, I was half way through this before I realized that I had read it before. It didn't engage me the first time, and it still does not. I didn't find the wit and social satire from Jane Austin, although James adopts a writing style and voice that mimic Austin's. And nor did I find the gripping murder mystery that I expected from James. The style feels forced and the mystery seems contrived.
Okay, James shows that in the genteel social setting of the propertied classes of the nineteenth century, even the idea of being associated with a mystery was (as she would say) abhorrent. As a woman, Elizabeth must keep away from anything suggesting scandal, so much of the story has to be seen from Darcy's point of view. And he is such a self-restrained and self-regarding individual that he focuses more on how the murder might affect his own family than on the perpetrator or the victim. This is a perspective that is difficult to relate to, and pushes the hints of social consciousness about the situation of the property-less and of women far to the background.
Perhaps the most interesting character, for example, is Mrs. Younge, who succeeds against all odds in creating for herself a degree of security and wealth by taking advantage of the social strictures imposed on wealthy society, but we see her only in glimpses through the eyes of observers who hate her. James hints at the costs that this imposed on her, but from the limited perspective she has chosen, she cannot give Mrs. Younge any depth or colour.
One of the few bits that had a sense of reality was the examination conducted by the nineteenth century medical men, and it was interesting to imagine what they actually knew and understood with limited forensic tools. Similarly, the inquiry and court procedures were interesting in illustrating the legal forms of the time. (Although it's difficult to see how the entire examination, cross-examination, judgement and sentencing could have taken place in what appears to be one day, but I leave that to James' actual legal knowledge and her authorial license.)
So who is the book written for? James apparently enjoyed the idea of writing in the voice of one of her (and her readers') favourite writers. But instead of the sharp observations of Jane Austin, we get a look at the ongoing relationship of a romanticized couple, which reveals little except that they get along well, care for their children, and live up to the social expectations of their time and class. The tragedy is that Elizabeth's vulgar sister and her husband might upset their quiet life and the marriage prospects of Darcy's younger sister (although there's no real danger of that either, since she is being courted by a young man who would be happy to marry her regardless of the potential scandal). Perhaps Austin could have made me care about the upset to the social equilibrium, but James does not.
Wow! Some people actually liked this book! I thought it was dull and plodding, slow and wordy. This is not a mystery, there are no clues that could allow you to solve the case as you go along. Odd behavior by Colonel FitzWilliam is explained late but has no real relation to the plot, only to a poorly developed sub-plot.
I don't recommend this at all.
Another fun murder mystery by P.D. James. I expected a good crime novel, and the book delivered. It helped to have read Jane Austen to know who was who, and not to expect a sequel.
Whle i've enjoyed Austen and p & p in the past, it was so long ago, like the previous commenter said, I was "mystified" and--ultimately--bored to death. It was a staff pick, which i usually enjoy (I find some gems!), i sent this one back unread; that is extremely unusual for me.
If you haven't read Jane Austen you will be completely mystified by this! Interesting experiment and fun for Austen fans to read. But nothing more.
The mimicry of Jane Austin was very good. The plot...not so much. It was a bit obvious, actually and while I thought some of the loose threads from Pride and Prejudice were cleverly wrapped up, it was not a real revelation. I also thought the voice of Elizabeth was a bit too anxious almost right from the start and the voice of Darcy was at times too effusive. It was an interesting take on how the Darcy's would have grown and the ultimate ending was not unforseen and was satisfactory, but not stupendous.
I was excited to read this book in preparation for BBC One's adaptation of it. P&P is one of my favorite reads and I looked forward to this book.
It was a good story, but somehow I didn't find P.D. James' portrayal of Mr. Darcy to ring true to Austen's. He seemed unsure of himself sometimes, and allowed his cousin to take control far too easily. Elizabeth's dialogue was nothing like Austen's.
The mystery was interesting to me. I enjoyed watching it unfold, but it just seemed to end in a hurry.
Although this was an interesting read to me, simply writing using Regency language and turns of phrase does not a Jane Austen book make. If you can read this as an interesting story and not as a sequel to P&P you might enjoy it more.
predictable plot which violates the Knox rules for mysteries
not well written
reminds me of Dr Johnson's comments of women preachers
A rather mildly entertaining mystery from PD James, who handles Austen's characters with silver tongs: the result is so reverential that it never really comes to life. A shame, because the premise is a promising one.

I've gotten the opportunity to attend the eMetrics conference in the Washington, DC area this year and already the first two presentations have really impressed me. The first was Jim Sterne's which I'll be blogging about a bit later over on Social Conversations, but the one I wanted to tell SMG readers about was the presentation given by Foresee Results.
It was all about the evolution of web metrics in comparison to what customers are doing online. How did we really get here? So much data, but yet so little true meaning for a lot of companies. So little actionable data because of the data overload web managers are stuck under.
Larry Freed of ForSee Results gave a great presentation. He started off with defining "Darwinism" and how its change over time that makes only the strong survive. We see it in humans, we have seen it in animals and now we even see it with online businesses.
With online shopping the evolution started with pre-technology, back when you had to travel to the store by foot or horse, or cart to purchase your wears. Retailers relied on manual ways of stocking, restocking and accounting for sales. Eventually technology came into play giving us real time inventory. Then came the internet which allowed even the smallest mom and pop store to reach a global audience. Now we have mobile where with a few touches of a screen and a minute amount of time you can have something you want delivered to your doorstep.
Along with this evolutionary change, there's another one going on it's one where we're moving from a push message to a pull message. Where the customer is in control, rather than the business. The internet has enable so many things, the cost of "Switching" has gone down, the barriers to entry have nearly gone to zero, and customer are now more informed than ever.
Only a few years ago our economy on the internet was basically "build it and they will come". That no longer holds true with these new changes. It's now becoming a lot more like the traditional business environment where only the strong will survive. The results of this evolution is that we are now in one of the most ultra competitive environments, ever.
But how does this impact web metrics?
It makes us a lot more accountable for the changes that need to be made to improve and keep the business alive. You cannot manage your company if you don't measure, and measuring is what you need to do if you want to improve the bottom line.
Customer satisfaction at the end of the day is a huge piece of the measuring puzzle but it's really tough to accurately measure. Very few plans or measurement strategies that tie in measuring customer satisfaction tie that measurement to the bottom dollar. The American Customer Satisfaction Index is likely the most reliable source to look at when looking to measure sanctification.
Metrics Must Have: Accuracy & Precision, Validity, Sensitivity, Realiabitiy, & Credibility
Freed goes on to explain the "Ecosystem of Metrics"
- Measure What Happens - key performance indication - behavioral data (looking backwards) - clickstream, financial, tasks
- Satisfaction - predicts what will happen
- Observation - tells us how it happens
- At the center is the customer
At the end of the day, it's the customer satisfaction that rules. Satisfaction = What you get + What you Expect (what did you think they were going to do compared to what they really did). If your customers aren't satisfied, then your business is not going to survive.
Freed leaves us with 10 tips:
- You cannot manage what you cannot measure
- What you measure will determine what you do
- Measure what matters most - your customers
- Knowledge is power - the customer is now in charge
- Turn data into information and information into intelligence
- Satisfaction will drive conversion, loyalty, retention and word of mouth
- It only takes two things to survice, satisfying your customers and be fiscally responsble
- Measurement is hard, don't fall for gimmicks
- Integration of web metrics magnifies the value
- You are in the fight of your life, if you satisfy your customers you'll be around to fight the fight!
