Welcome to our JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes team page! We're taking steps to help JDRF progressively remove the impact of type 1 diabetes (T1D) from people's lives until no one has to fear developing this disease. By joining our Walk to Cure Diabetes team and making a donation to JDRF, you'll raise money to help fund critical T1D research and create a world without T1D.
Type 1 diabetes is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure.
JDRF is the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. Every dollar JDRF is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you.
The challenge we've set ourselves - to raise money for JDRF and to walk - is modest compared to the daily challenges of life with T1D, which involves a 24/7, unrelenting cycle of blood sugar testing and insulin injections to manage the disease.
Will you accept the challenge to make a difference by walking with us? Just click on the "Join this Team" button, make a donation, and start fundraising.
Thank you for your support, and we'll see you on Walk day!

Avadyne is the leading voice on the Patient Financial Experience. Today, the standard for patient experience considers the totality of the patient's clinical interactions with a healthcare provider, but largely ignores a huge component of the process: the patient's financial relationship with the institution. Avadyne is working to change that, with thought leadership, survey instruments, and a comprehensive set of new offerings to the market.

I know there are other threads about ESPN 3. I want to start this thread for our fellow dish network customers to submit request here and one of DIRT member can forward our request to Dish management. We want the capability to access ESPN 3, ESPN and ESPN 2 through online www.watchESPN.com by logging in with DISH log in.
The app allows access to the entire ESPN family of networks, you only get ESPN 3 access if your ISP is a participating provider, and requires authentication. Currently there are only 3 providers setup to allow access and it would be nice if Dish were added to this, but I am guessing this will get held up along with the ESPNU in HD because of the dispute with Disney
I don't know how many emails i have sent to Centurylink(formally Centurytel) asking for this to be added. we are a small town of 4K but Centurylink is our phone/ISP and have many locations in various states yet the little town 10 miles from us has its own Telco with may 700-1000 customers and they have it! lol crazy
It's a double edged sword for me. I have Time Warner for Internet and Dish for TV. I should qualify under Time Warner, but their system says if I don't get ESPN through cable, I don't get ESPN3. At the same time I get ESPN through Dish Network but I don't get ESPN3. I'm not going to switch to TW for worse programming and fewer channels just so appease these folks.
I have U-Verse for internet and Dish for TV and get ESPN3 access. TV-only U-Verse has a really good price, so I'm happy with my combo.
works just dandy on Comcast Internet (I'm kinda surprised on this one) I have Dish network..no cable TV
I believe Time Warner/ Bright House is the only provider that requires a TV subscription in order for you to get ESPN3. Sent from my iPad 2 using the SatelliteGuys App
so, since the access to ESPN3 is thru your ISP and not thru Dish, the point of this thread is pretty much moot since there isn't anything Dish can do except become and ISP and then they could offer it to you. Who knows, maybe Charlie is planning that as well...
I have Verizon FIOS Internet and Dish for TV,, but espn3 don't let me watch espn1 and esp2..it says I have to subscribe to FIOS TV....
The thread title is a little misleading. What would be nice is for Dish to become one of the providers that can authorize viewing of ESPN, ESPN 2 and ESPN U via the website and ipad/iphone apps. ESPN 3 viewing is dependent upon an affiliated ISP, but viewing the other ESPN family of channels is dependent upon being able to confirm authorization thru a video provider. Right now there are only 3 video providers setup to allow viewing the regular ESPN networks live online.

A bald eagle is back home — ready to once again soar over the waters of Watts Bar Lake.
Wildlife officials released the bird back into the wild Friday at Kingston City Park after months of rehabilitation.
The majestic raptor was found injured in Kingston late last year.
"We got a call off of Lawnville Road there was an eagle in the bushes," said Vincent Pontello of Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

Time has run out for the state to appeal a decision that dismissed murder charges against Rocky Houston.
The Court of Criminal Appeals in Knoxville rendered its decision on March 3.
The state had 60 days from that date to appeal.
Joanne Newsome, the chief deputy clerk for the Tennessee Appellate Court Clerk's Office in Knoxville, said Tuesday morning that her office had yet to receive anything from the state.

College coaches are always looking for good athletes with good fundamentals to help their program win. Roane State softball head coach Sue Niemi found just that last week when she signed Rockwood twin sisters Kwan and Kat Bazel.
"I really like their athleticism and they're pretty fundamentally sound," Niemi said. "Like all players they still have some things to work on, but they seem to be very coachable and I like the fact they're coming from a successful program."
Oliver Springs High School has had its fair share of athletes sign college scholarships throughout the years, but Ali Woods made history recently when the Lady 'Cat senior signed her National Letter of Intent in rowing with the University of Louisville.
Rowing is not a sport offered at Oliver Springs or any school in Roane County, but Woods has competed for the Atomic Rowing Club in Oak Ridge for the past five seasons and her hard work has now paid off.
State budget woes could affect crimefighting in Roane County.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which local law enforcement agencies depend on for forensic services, is facing cuts that could leave dozens of agents out of work.
"TBI is now facing sending home 58 field and forensic agents in order to reach the $4 million in cuts," TBI spokeswoman Kristin Helm said in an e-mail.

School officials believe Oliver Springs High School's water bill was too high.
The town's water department agrees. In fact, they admitted the overcharges in water and sewer services in an answer filed by their attorney to a lawsuit brought on by the Roane County school system.
According to the answer, however, fault does not totally lie with the water department.

A chlorine gas leak at a Midtown residence sent one man to the hospital and lead to the evacuation of homes on Poland Hollow Road.
According to Howie Rose, director of the Roane County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, a chlorine gas leak at the Harriman home of Marjorie Dodd, 446 Poland Hollow Road, forced the evacuation of
residents. Dodd has been in the news in the past months over charges she had been running a puppy mill.
From staff reports
This week has been rough for local authorities.
A routine sheriff's office prisoner transfer turned into a two-vehicle accident, and in another accident, a Rockwood officer drove into a utility pole.
A Roane County Sheriff's Office patrol car driven by Deputy Dustin Hensley was transporting two prisoners from Rockwood to the Roane County Jail on Hwy. 27 in front of Walmart Sunday morning.

The Harriman Blue Devils became the 2010 District 3-A regular season champs Thursday following an 11-10 win over Midway.
After an opening district loss to Greenback, the Blue Devils beat the Cherokees then swept through Rockwood, Tellico Plains and Midway to finish 7-1 in the district to again win the regular season title.
Midway still has one more district game left to play with Rockwood this Monday at Midway before they will learn their seeding for the tourney that begins on May 7 in Rockwood.
Roane County has one of the highest property tax rates ($2.72) in the area. Property Assessor Teresa Kirkham said the Roane County Commission will be required by law to decrease the tax rate this year because of the reappraisal. However, that does not mean everyone in the county will be paying less taxes. Kirkham explains how that's the case in Part 2 of a question and answer session with the Roane County News.
How will some people end up paying more if the tax rate is decreased?

Citizens seal Adebayor deal
18 Jul 2009 - 19:20:54
Manchester City have completed the signing of Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor for an undisclosed fee, reported to be in the region of £25million.
The 25-year-old has penned a five-year contract at Eastlands after successfully passing a medical to seal his move north from the Gunners.
Citizens manager Mark Hughes told his club's official website: "Emmanuel has been one of the top forwards in the Premier League since he arrived from France and we are delighted he has agreed to come and join us.
"Along with the other signings we have made in the last two windows he will greatly enhance our ability to compete with the top sides.
"His arrival is another clear indication that we are determined to augment the players we have here with the best of international talent.
"He adds vital balance and power to our attack. He has everything a top forward needs. He is versatile, powerful, quick and agile on the ball.
"I am looking forward to working with him as are the rest of the staff. He will definitely add a new dimension to our play."
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had earlier said of the Togo international: "We'll miss him, but of course we want to focus on the players that are with us at the moment.
"We want to wish him well and thank him for everything he has done for the club. I wish him well, I am sure he will give something special to Man City."
Adebayor scored 62 goals in 142 appearances for the Gunners following his arrival from Monaco in January 2006.

You Know What I Hate?!

She's angry and so am I.
Today I continue my weekly feature of me venting and raging on stupid crap happening with the Canucks, their fans and around the NHL. Two things about feature... 1) It will appear (hopefully) every Monday, and 2) It is blatantly ripped off from a stand-up bit from comedian Craig Anton. On either point, I make no apologies. Enjoy. Or don't.
In this week's debut, I spew venom on Mark Lee, Philadelphia Flyers fans and ignoring obvious evidence.

Chris Tanev Demoted
Thomas Drance
October 17 2011 12:53PM
All summer fanboys were excited about what Chris Tanev might be able to do with a full season of work. I suggested that he was a shoe-in for the top-six as recently as September. Cam Charron took the over on 5 goals for Tanev during the preseason...
Well today, Chris Tanev was assigned to the Canucks AHL affiliate the Chicago Wolves. The move in part makes room for Ryan Kesler (who seems to be returning from injury) and also reflects the fact that Chris Tanev has looked less than his calm, composed, chain-smoking self through three games this season.

The nanoparticles will slow bacteria growth and reduce contamination, as well as maintenance because operations will no longer need to be shut down to clean the machines. The yearlong collaboration (which began in 2014) between several Jordanian and U.S. researchers is backed by a $314,000 grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development and a $100,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. Oyanedel-Craver holds a Ph.D. from the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela and a B.S. and an M.S. from the Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso.

I had the blessing of having Mr. Majeske as an English teacher at his first teaching job in the mid '70s. As a teacher he was the best of the best but my blessing went far further than the classroom. I had a less than ideal home life and Mr. Majeske and his lovely wife invited me into their lives outside of the school setting. Their kindness and caring made a difference that I'll always be thankful for. Plus he still makes me laugh. My life is better for having known this wonderful man.

Aug 31, 2010 Great teacher for WHG 2. Tells funny stories; class is chill. Tests are memorizing the textbook and are sometimes difficult, but there are a ton of easy grades to make up for it. Didn't get through the whole textbook, and so I actually missed a question or two on my SOLs. Flag Rating
Aug 26, 2010 one of the most fun classes ever. lots of lecture, but it is entertaining and you learn a lot. mr majeske is a great teacher, but tests are hard, quizzes are basically fluff grades. great class Flag Rating

Jul 27, 2009 Mr. Majeske is a really funny and helpful teacher. He is great at teaching WHG1, even though we read out of our textbook alot, he goes out it (phew!) he is really funny so his class is never or rarely boring i will be so sad when i have to leave world history1 . the only downside: we get TONS to study even though other classes dont. Hes probably preparing us for the SOL though Flag Rating
Apr 20, 2009 hes super nice and hes hilarious. however, i dont find his teaching style of sitting in the front of the class, just telling us things in the book very helpful. but his class is awesome. Flag Rating

The logistics and freight brokerage provider also turned in its most profitable quarter in Q4 as acquisitions of Pacer, New Breed and last mile companies, coupled with organic growth paid dividends.
Acquisition of Xpress Solutions gives Chicago-based Echo Global Logistics further reach into small and middle market shippers.
Acquisition would make Japan Post one of the largest global 3PLs.

This is the replacement for IBISWorld's November Blood & Organ Banks in the US Industry Risk Ratings Report.
Industry Risk Ratings Synopsis
This Industry Risk Ratings report is a detailed analysis of all risks related to the Blood & Organ Banks in the US market . Our analyst consider Industry Risk to be 'the difficulty of the business immediate environment' .
The report analyses all risk related to the industry operations . Our analysts are looking at 3 kind of risks : Structural risks are risks related to the industry itself, Growth Risks are risks related to the expected growth and performance of the industry and External Risks are risks or threats coming from external forces .
This approach is new in that it analyses non-financial information surrounding each market . We are using score-cards to analyse the intensity of each risk within the industry, where 1 is the lowest intensity and 9 the highest . The Market Risk score measures expected Market Risk over the coming 12-18 months.
Market Definition
This market includes industry players that are primarily engaged in collecting, storing and distributing blood, blood products and body organs.
What Will You Find In This Report?
Risk Overview
The Risk Overview chapter includes sections on Market Definition and Activities, Market Risk Score and Risk Rating Analysis. The Market Definition and Activities section provides a detailed definition of the activities carried out by operators in this market as defined in NAICS. A list of the primary activities of the market is also included. The Market Risk Score section provides the Overall Market Risk Score as well as the Risk Scores for each of the three types of risk covered that combine to form the Overall Market Risk Score. These three types of risk are Structural Risk, Growth Risk and External Sensitivity Risk. The Risk Rating Analysis section discusses the underlying factors contributing to the Overall Market Risk Score.
Structural Risk
The Structural Risk chapter looks at risk arising from within the market itself and provides a detailed discussion of the market 's level of exposure to seven key figures . These key figures are Barriers to Entry, Competition, Market Exports, Market Imports, Level of Assistance, Industry Status Stage and Volatility of Market . The Overall Structural Risk Score is a weighted aggregation of these seven key figures . Each of the key figures is discussed in detail in this section.
Growth Risk
The Growth Risk chapter looks at risks arising from the expected future performance of the market . The Overall Growth Risk Score is determined by amalgamating the scores for Recent Market Growth and Projection Market Growth. Detailed analysis is provided discussing the reasons for the growth scores of both.
Sensitivity Risk
The Sensitivity Risk chapter looks at risks arising from forces (sensitivities) external to the market . The Overall External Sensitivity Risk Score is determined by identifying the most significant (up to 6) external factors and weighting them to represent how significant each sensitivity is to the performance of the market . Examples of External Sensitivities are Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, Commodity Prices and Government Regulations. There is also a in-depth overview of the affect each of the sensitivities has on the market, including charts and data tables where appropriate.

China Money Rate Drops Most in Month as Inflows Seen Adding Cash
China's benchmark money-market rate fell the most in a month on speculation accelerated yuan gains will attract more capital inflows, boosting cash supply.
The People's Bank of China issued 7 billion yuan ($1.1 billion) of three-month bills at a yield of 2.9089 percent, unchanged for a sixth sale, according to a trader required to bid at the auctions. The Chinese currency, which has risen 1.6 percent in the past three months, touched a 19-year high of 6.1210 per dollar yesterday.
"There are probably huge capital inflows, which are helping ease cash shortages," said Wang Huane, a senior bond trader at Qilu Bank Co. in Jinan, capital of the eastern Shandong province.
The seven-day repurchase rate, which measures interbank funding availability, declined 60 basis points, or 0.6 percentage point, to 3.49 percent as of 9:48 a.m. in Shanghai, the biggest drop since April 26, according to a weighted average rate compiled by the National Interbank Funding Center.
The central bank also issued 12 billion yuan of 28-day repurchase contracts today to drain funds from markets.
The one-year swap contract, the fixed cost needed to receive the floating seven-day repurchase rate, was unchanged at 3.28 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Random Recommendations: The stuff I've been playing recently
Discarded Couch Sandwich
on 08.11.2009
The premise is simple. I like videogames and so do you, so Ive had some fun compiling together some of the recent games Ive enjoyed, not enjoyed, or are currently anticipating, and gave a couple of thoughts on each. Easy, huh! I hope you find something you like here; there are a couple of weirdos ahead that youve likely either forgotten about or have such bad memories of that theyve burned out of your skull. (Im looking at you, Geist) But anyway, please read on, and have a nice time with the ride!
Games that I started about an hour ago and have made me again realize how much I adore JRPGs:
Eternal Sonata
I havent played a proper RPG in a good while, but
Eternal Sonata
had been lazing on my shelf waiting to be played for so long, that I just couldnt resist it any more. And the result: me sitting giddy on the couch, drawn in by its pretty graphics and enchanting musical score. That was within ten minutes.
Theres just something about JRPGs which makes me want to gawk at the screen letting my mind wander free, and this game certainly began with it all. A beautifully realised fantasy setting, the typically stupid-yet-I-dont-know-why-I-like-her-enthralling female character, lots of spiky hair, and a half-hour in even gave my first androgynous she-he (Beat) that Im still not fully sure about. Yes, from the short hours play that I got this game already comes with a massive recommendation, bringing back memories of some of my old favourites;
Lost Odyssey
Final Fantasy XII
, and
Tales of Symphonia
, in the process.
I cant wait to enjoy some more RPGing in Sonatas world later on! If youre a genre fan its likely either on your list or youve already played it. If not, its still possible to get a few laughs from the slightly silly dialogue, such as the bit where Polka asks her mother if shes afraid to touch her any more *snicker* or the part in the moonlight where she asks Frederick to come visit her forest. *retarded guffaw*
If you put a letter "F" in the middle of Sonata, it also sounds a bit like
Eternal Sonfarta
, which has the word "fart" in it. This is funny, for some reason.
Games that I wish I could play right now because Ive been drooling over pictures of the new ones but someone deleted my file:
Pokémon Platinum
If youre like me who obsessively checks serebii.net every few days to see if any new information has come out, youll likely be lusting over pictures of the upcoming
Heart Gold
Soul Silver
release right now. I was, and it really makes me long to play my old games again! So off I went one day, down to the girlfriends occupied R4 card where my half finished save resided; only to be greeted with a message saying there was no existing game data. I asked her if she knew anything about this, to which she said the card had been recently acting up a bit. This was met with my screams of YOU MURDERED MY MANAPHY, some tears, some exclamation points, and ultimately me vying for her blood. Ten minutes later, we got in, Id settled down a bit and I was fine.
Anyone who plays the game knows that losing a Pokémon save file is like losing a best friend. Actually worse,; its like losing six of them, and Ill never understand the people who can just casually erase their file to start a new game, without spending three hours beforehand transferring their captured monsters to someone elses DS or
Pokémon Stadium
. Its just wrong! Or maybe I just have some kind of condition, I dont know. All I can say for sure though is, the moral of this tale is that pirating games is wrong, and you should always buy a real copy if you want to be safe with your save.
On second thoughts, why should I listen to my girlfriends opinion on what happened here, when shes a blatant buneary boiler.
See what I did there! Buneary Boiler! Oh alright, have a cute picture to make up for the terrible puns.
Games that are kind of a bit boring to be honest but Im slogging through for the sake of finishing them:
Geist, Madworld
Having earned a place in my Gamecube collection for about three years, but only being played for around three (sets of ten) minutes,
is one of those titles Ive been determined to finish. Its a little known title that was announced around two years prior to its release - looking a bit crap both then and there and in that time gaining the notoriety of being the Gamecubes big FPS. It never lived up to that notoriety, but what did surface was a decent little shooter with an equal balance of clever and utterly terrible ideas. Its not bad.
You may already know that you play a ghost with the ability to possess people and objects, and if you didnt, you do now. This leads the way for some smart puzzle-shooting game play, such as some nice moments where rats must be taken possession to find secret passageways to new areas, or some cool looking areas where you get to take part in a computer simulation. These are some genuine highlights youll experience while playing this game.
Theyre also some of the only ones, considering the proceeding list of not game-breaking, but annoying problems nonetheless. For one, it looks the dog (and not a particularly attractive dog) apart from some of the texture popping moments witnessed in the virtual world. Gunplay feels clumsier than a ladder made entirely of bread, with headshots being about as effective as arching down and firing at your invisible legs. I always keep my DSi handy in case I need to check gamefaqs to solve an obscure riddle which is often and the game is totally streamlined so you have no freedom to explore off the beaten path, for example, one puzzle wouldnt allow me to scare a man by possessing a fire extinguisher he was staring directly at, unless I got him to move closer to it first. Ive found at least one wall that I could run through, and regardless of all this, I still think its a decent game. Its short, which is quite nice, and somehow engaging enough to keep me for a few hours at a time. Not bad, and recommended if you have absolutely nothing else to do.
This is one of the prettier screens. If it does nothing for you, you're a bit out of luck.
on the other hand, is the total opposite of that. It is a very nice game to look at, but I just dont feel it to be engaging at all. Id go as far enough to call it boring, which I hate, because I was really looking forward to playing this game back when it was revealed. Combat hasnt gotten much more than swishing around at the same few guys while battling an awkward camera, and the primary reason I continue to play it is for the occasionally excellent commentary. This is unfortunate in that it has to continuously repeat itself. During a game of human darts, I had to listen to Greg Proops erotic tale of himself, a dwarf and a donkey no fewer than four times in around a three minute period, which made me wonder whether Platinum couldnt have just put a limit (one) on the amount of times a line can be said, or at least spread out some of the more random lines that are uttered, rather than having a constant, filling barrage of the same thing over and over.
That said, I have only managed about three levels so far, only being able to play one per session without tiring of it. Maybe the story or the rest of the soundtrack will redeem it in my eyes, but so far, colour me unimpressed.
Who knew that murdering leigons of criminals with a chainsaw could be so tiresome.
Games I brought to fill in spaces in my collection in which one turned out to be alright and the other utter tosh:
Donkey Konga 2, Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble
Before satisfyingly slotting in my latest two five-pound finds next to
Donkey Konga
Viewtiful Joe 2
respectively, I thought it might be quite nice to play them.
Donkey Konga
first, which I thought was quite inventive back in the day. It plays just like
Taiko no Tatsujin
, but with charmless, four-frame images of the main monkey himself moving in the background instead of adorable little drum creatures. Plus bongos!
The only song I could recognise from the soundtrack was everybodys favourite
All Star
by Smash Mouth, which I proceeded to play. Hang on a second though. The instruction manual says that this song is performed by a band called Squish Moth, not Smash Mouth of whom we all (Ben Stiller and probably Mike Myers) love. Yup, its another bunch of covers. Good covers, mind, and the game is still rather fun to play, even though it does lack terribly in its presentation. Im glad I managed to find it all the same and I just need two more pairs of the peripheral before I can bring four player bongo nights back!
Having seen the Japanese track listings now makes me want to import. Katamari on the Rocks in a Nintendo game! It just feels unholy enough to try.
Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble
is a real shame. Its a shame that the two excellent games that receded before had to be brought down by this sullied mess of a title. Its a shame that half of the controls have been changed, so I have no idea what Im doing most of the time. Its a shame that the designers chose to go down the four-player beat-em-up route for their final console Joe, instead of completing the trilogy and addressing the twist ending in the last one. And its a goddamn shame that barely any of it is explained,
just why
Smash Bros.
Viewtiful Joe
sounds great on paper, but its just one of those ideas that could never, ever be executed in an playable way. Four players, time-altering techniques, and massive explosions; yup, thats what you get, and its barely possible to keep track of any of it! Within seconds of a four player match up youll lose your character on screen and have no idea whats going on, not just because of the general clutter, but because nothing at all is explained. Sometimes youll be sprung into a quick time event which doesnt even tell you the buttons youre supposed to be pressing. Other times, youll have an objective that gets lost in the mess of the rest of the screen. Its entirely pointless!
Then again, this game was meant to tie in with the animé (that wasnt even released over here) which partly explains its reasons for being so awful. Come on Capcom, you can do better than this.
Can you tell what's going on? I can vouch that its ten times worse in motion.
Games that I find the spelling mistakes on the map screen quite amusing:
Trauma Centre: Second Opinion
Every time. Every time you enter the map, which is before every single operation, there is one great, glaring mistake at the bottom of the screen.
Yuo will move automatically on the map screen.
Now, I dont know if Atlus is in on something big here, or if Im just falling behind my New Words in the English language, but Im around 87% sure that Yuo is a mistake for You. That, or its a way of abbreviating Yu-Gi-Oh, which makes little sense due to the distinct lack of card games apparent so far in the
Trauma Centre
series. Either way, I find it quite humorous.
Oh, and the game is really good too, by the way.
You'll know when you hit the learning curve. It's that early mission where you fail within seconds and have no idea how it happened. It hurts, hard.
Games I managed to preview in a dream last night:
The Beatles: Rock Band
When Im not dreaming about hot chicks, sports cars, being an international superhero spy for the government and various other things that men dream about, Im probably dreaming about videogames. And fortunately for me, last nights sleep-engaged escapades took me on a full tour of Harmonix Massachusetts office where I got an exclusive hands-on with their upcoming music game,
The Beatles: Rock Band
. What else can I say, but its shaping up very nicely!
Ill start by saying that the dreamlike, feel-good style of The Beatles has been perfectly captured in the build that I played. Landscapes and colour schemes are constantly changing to the sound of the music, from the beautifully lush, 60s infused paradise which performs in the background of
Eight Days a Week
, to the seedy alcohol-and-urine smelling bar scene in any of the songs where Ringo takes vocals. Yes, apparently one new feature is that you can actually smell the venue youre i taking the series to brave new, oftentimes unpleasant levels. Also new to the series is the way the note highways move. Occasionally, mid song, they may switch from the regular
Rock Band
top-to-bottom style, to flying
Donkey Konga
-like from the left, diagonally, or even with symbols that arent even represented on the guitar which made my play session that much more confusing to carry on with. This perfectly captures the trippy style that the band took with some of their later songs, and I cant wait to see more of it!
Also, if what I heard was correct as I was flicking through the completed setlist, there will be some Monkees songs in
The Beatles: Rock Band
. Yet another reason to purchase this game if youre a fan of music in the 1960s decade.
In fact,
The Beatles: Rock Band
was such a good game in my dream that my first instinct when I awoke was to check the Playstation Store and see if the Abbey Road DLC was up, so I could play it straight away! It wasnt.
This is in fact nothing like how
The Beatles: Rock Band
will look, if my dream is anything to go by.
Well that about wraps up my first edition of Random Recommendations, which I thoroughly enjoyed putting together. Who knows, maybe Ill make this a regular thing each time I play a set of new games, just to give some of those old titles the words that they deserve. Anyway now, Ive gone on long enough. Until next time, ta-ta.
Bonus Points for remembering what classic trailer I stole that last line from!

Located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains and offering 300 days of bright sunshine a year, Denver is a dream destination for any outdoor sports enthusiast. But there's much more to the Mile High City than meets the eye, as it also is home to a thriving arts and culture scene in addition to world-class shopping and family-friendly attractions. No matter what you may be looking for, staying with Choice Hotels in Denver, CO will help you make the most of your trip.
While visiting Colorado's capital, make sure not to miss these popular local attractions:
With a professional team in each of the four major leagues, Denver offers plenty of excitement for visiting sports fans. Basketball and Hockey lovers can visit the Pepsi Center to watch the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche take on the competition in this state of the art arena.
Home to almost 4,000 animals spanning more than 700 species, the Denver Zoo is one of the best in the country. Make your way through the park's animal displays on foot, or climb aboard the Zoo Train for a relaxing ride around the park. With special features like an Endangered Species Carousel, the Tropical Discovery indoor rainforest, Monkey Island and more, you could easily spend your whole day among the animals.
Families and thrill-seekers alike will not want to miss out on a trip to Elitch Gardens. For more than 100 years, this theme park has provided visitors with exciting rides, shows and attractions, including the special StarToon MovieTown section specially designed for younger children. If you want to cool off in the summer time, a visit to Elitch Gardens between May and Labor Day also grants you access to Island Kingdom Water Park.
Home to one of the largest collections in the world, the Denver Art Museum is a must-see. With more than 55,000 works of art across a variety of mediums, this museum has something for everyone. A number of family-friendly exhibits and areas like the Just for Fun Family Center, the Discovery Library and Kids Corner are designed to get kids excited about the arts.

Given a C++ function f(X x) where x is a variable of type X, and a variable y of type Y, what are all the automatic/implicit conversions the C++ compiler will perform on y so that the statement "f(y);" is legal code (no errors, no warnings)?
For example:
Pass Derived& to function taking Base& - ok Pass Base& to function Derived& - not ok without a cast Pass int to function taking long - ok, creates a temporary long Pass int& to function taking long& - NOT ok, taking reference to temporary
Note how the built-in types have some quirks compared to classes: a Derived can be passed to function taking a Base (although it gets sliced), and an int can be passed to function taking a long, but you cannot pass an int& to a function taking a long&!!
What's the complete list of cases that are always "ok" (don't need to use any cast to do it)?
What it's for: I have a C++ script-binding library that lets you bind your C++ code and it will call C++ functions at runtime based on script expressions. Since expressions are evaluated at runtime, all the legal combinations of source types and function argument types that might need to be used in an expression have to be anticipated ahead of time and precompiled in the library so that they'll be usable at runtime. If I miss a legal combination, some reasonable expressions won't work in runtime expressions; if I accidently generate a combination that isn't legal C++, my library just won't compile.
Edit (narrowing the question):
Thanks, all of your answers are actually pretty helpful. I knew the answer was complicated, but it sounds like I've only seen the tip of the iceberg.
Let me rephrase the question a little then to limit its scope then: I will let the user specify a list of "BaseClasses" and a list of "UserDefinedConversions". For Bases, I'll generate everything including reference and pointer conversions. But what cases (const/reference/pointer) can I safely do from the UserDefined Conversions list? (The user will give bare types, I will decorate with *, &, const, etc. in the template.)

ProfileAssembled and raised in the scrap pile, Junkheap is a supremely resourceful bot. It was he who helped orchestrate the repair and reboot of the disabled Ultra Magnus. The mighty Autobot was so impressed with the talent of Junkheap that he encouraged Autobot Ratchet to spend an extended leave on Junkion to hone his repair skills.REVIEW:With this bio establishing itself in Transformers: The Movie events, let's just assume that by "encouraged to spend extended leave," it really means Magnus sent a box of Ratchet's wreckage to Junk and said "Hey, see if you guys can fix this." Counting Wreck-Gar and Scrapheap from my main work over at figurereviews.com, this is my third pass with this mold, and it's pleasantly surprising just how distinct each one has been owing simply to deco changes and unique heads each time around.
