Gator women's tennis blanks Mizzou
Published: Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 7:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 3, 2014 at 2:20 a.m.
The No. 5 Florida women's tennis team blanked SEC-foe Missouri, 7-0, on Sunday afternoon at the Ring Tennis Complex.
Up next
Florida at South Carolina
When: Saturday beginning at 1 p.m.
Where: Carolina Tennis Center, Columbia, S.C.
Florida (10-2, 2-0 SEC) worked fast in doubles play, as UF pair of senior Olivia Janowicz and freshman Stefani Stojic clinched the first point of the match at court three with a dominant 8-1 win over Missouri's Cassidy Spearman and Tracy Dong.
Gators sophomore Brianna Morgan took the first singles point at court two to lift the Gators to 2-0 and allowed Tigers' Kelli Hine to take just one game the entire match. Stojic followed by extending her perfect dual match record to 6-0 with a dominant 6-1, 6-0 defeat of UM's Tracy Dong at No. 6 singles to seal the Gator victory. UF finished out singles play over Missouri (3-8, 0-2) a perfect 6-0.
Alexandra Cercone posted career singles win No. 106, while improving to 67-12 all-time in dual match singles play and 29-4 in SEC regular season action, Sofie Oyen inched closer to the 100-career win plateau with victory No. 96 and also improved to 27-2 in SEC singles dual matches while Brianna Morgan improved to 46-10 in her singles career, including 15-2 in dual matches.
"I think we were really good," Florida coach Roland Thornqvist said. "Today could have been really tricky with our big win on Friday with College MatchDay here. It easily could have been a little bit of a letdown in our concentration. All credit goes to our seniors. We did not give them a big, riled-up speech to get them focused – they handled it."
Florida leads the all-time series against Missouri, 2-0, and has now won 127-consecutive home matches, while improving to 187-1 all-time at home against SEC opponents.

Oven Temp: 350
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 1.50 cup(s) (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup(s) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon(s) vanilla extract
- 4.25 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- Make dough: Beat butter, sugars, and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on low speed until fluffy. Beat in egg and extract. Beat in flour until just blended. Divide dough into thirds, then shape each third into a 1-inch-thick disk. Wrap each separately with plastic; chill 1 hour or until firm.
- Bake dough: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. On a floured surface, roll out 1 disk at a time to a scant 1/4-inch thickness. Using floured cutters, cut out shapes. Transfer shapes with a floured spatula onto parchment-lined baking sheets, placing them 2 inches apart. Re-roll dough scraps and cut only once. Toss leftover dough.
- Bake 11 to 13 minutes, until cookies are lightly golden along bottom edges. Cool slightly on baking sheets on a wire rack; transfer cookies to rack to cool completely. Ice if desired using store-bought or Master Royal Icing. Let all iced cookies dry at least 4 hours.
Tips & Techniques
Icing tips: Tint icing by using paste or gel food coloring. Use thick icing for piping. To thin icing for even spreading, add drops of water to it until it's the right texture.

Warrensburg Junior Tyler McKinney assists his date Teagan Rafferty off a helicopter, as they arrive to attend the 2010 Warrensburg Junior Prom. This unusual prom transportation, which impressed prom attendees, trumped all limousines and virtually any method of arriving at the formal dance, attendees said. The pilot, Bruce Mowry, is the fiance of Teagan's mom Starr Rafferty. He's already booked a similar prom transportation gig for two years from now, we hear.

The study for the DOE, by the NERA Economic Consulting of Washington, said the US economy would benefit under all future scenarios in which exports are envisioned. The Energy Department says, meanwhile, it will evaluate the study along with other information.
"Across all these scenarios, the U.S. was projected to gain net economic benefits from allowing LNG exports. Moreover, for every one of the market scenarios examined, net economic benefits increased as the level of LNG exports increased," the study found. "In particular, scenarios with unlimited exports always had higher net economic benefits than corresponding cases with limited exports."
But while the study projects $47 billion in increased economic activity by 2020, it also goes on to detail that this largesse will not be doled out equally, saying there would be "winners and losers."
"Different socioeconomic groups depend on different sources of income, though through retirement savings an increasingly large number of workers share in the benefits of higher income to natural resource companies whose shares they own," the study found. "Nevertheless, impacts will not be positive for all groups in the economy. Households with income solely from wages or government transfers, in particular, might not participate in these benefits."
Even so, overall "net benefits" from such exports to the economy overcame "the losses from reduced capital and wage income to US consumers," it found. "LNG exports have net economic benefits in spite of higher domestic natural gas prices," the firm concluded.

MotoGP strikes deal with Austin track
AUSTIN, Texas -- The new Formula One racetrack in Austin, Texas, says it has agreed to a 10-year deal to host all three championships of the MotoGP motorcycle series.
The Circuit of the Americas, the name of track that will be built by mid-2012, announced details Tuesday.
It says it will host the U.S. Grand Prix next year and the MotoGP championships will be held at the track for a decade beginning in 2013. That includes the top class, MotoGP, as well as Moto2 and Moto3.
The MotoGP World Championships have been held at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Salinas, Calif., since 2005.
The Circuit of the Americas joins the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Laguna Seca as the third venue to host MotoGP in the United States.
The Circuit of the Americas includes a 3.4-mile track and other facilities that will be used for conventions, music performances and business meetings.

Rescue teams from as far away as the San Francisco Bay area are descending on an area near Inskip - more than 100 miles north of Sacramento - to expand the search for a missing Northern California man and his three children.
The family hasn't been seen since they walked into the rugged mountains of Butte County in search of a Christmas tree on Sunday.
Frederick Dominguez and his kids - ages 12, 14 and 18 - set off near Inskip.
His truck was found Monday night parked along a mountain road.
Snow is 1-to-7-feet deep in the search area.
Crews believe they have a window of a few good hours this morning before another storm is expected to hit the area this afternoon.
However, low clouds continue to block aerial search efforts.

*Gotta kick out of Gov. Dirk Kempthorne this week. He (or should I say his flack, Mike Journee?) wrote a letter slamming my editorial of a week ago, which bashed the shabby way he treated Post Falls City Administrator Jim Hammond re: that Board of Education reappointment or lack thereof. In his first try, Dirk/Journee complained about the potshot and accused the S-R of being adamantly opposed to charter schools and school choice. When I pointed out to Journee that this paper has a long, established history of supporting school choice and charter schools, he shamelessly sent back a revised letter a few days later with this line: "That's why I was so disheartened that the Spokesman-Review, a proponent of charter schools and supporter of Jim Hammond, would denigrate his appointment (to the Charter School Commission) in the way it did." Talk about spin. The guv should just admit he jerked Jim around. And give it a rest.
*File this one from a No Holds Barred reader under courthouse conspiracy theory: "Heard an interesting bit of postelection yada, yada: Frank Henderson is supposedly going to 'place hold' his House District 5 seat for a term until Gus is up for re-election on the commission, which he's told lots of people he has no intention of running for again. Gus aspires to the state legislature at the end of the term but this was the first I'd heard of this theory. I think out here in the River City Gus' stock isn't too high, and he'd be hard-pressed to be re-elected to the commission, so I don't see him as a lock to win a legislative seat. I hope Frank lives to be 110 and serves most of those years in Boise!"
*Another reader pointed out that Mark Compton -- no relation to Dick -- has beaten (in chronological order) Alice Rankin and Ron Rankin for GOPrecinct committeeman and then the Rankins' daughter, Kerri Thoreson, for county vice chair, on Wednesday. You might call 'im a Rankin Slayer. (You'll see this one in Monday's Huckleberries. Too interesting an item to pass up.)
*Finally, I want to thank you for making this a successful blog. On Wednesday, I had 683 page hits, a nice increase from the 400 to 600 page hits I've been running all along. My goal is to reach at least 1,000 hits within a year.

Draft Dreams: One-Handed Diabetic Overcomes, Hopes for NFL Shot
The childhood dreams of a select group of athletes will come true this week when their names are called at the NFL Draft in New York City. But for one prospect, getting a look from an NFL team is just another hurdle he'd have to clear.
FOX News Radio's Chris Hoenig has the story of Eddie Delaney:
Audio clip:
Eddie Delaney stands 6'6″ and weighs in at 250 pounds, but he lacks one thing NFL defensive ends have: two hands.
(Delaney) "I was born without a left hand."
If playing with a partial forearm isn't enough to overcome…
(Delaney) "I was also diagnosed with diabetes at the age of six."
Yet he still set a Championship Subdivision record last year with 8.5 sacks for SUNY-Albany. He's learned how to manage offensive lines the same way he's learned to manage his diabetes.
(Delaney) "During game days, I stop taking my insulin at this time, because my nerves get really high and then my blood sugar drops."
He was rewarded with the Maxwell Awards' Spirit Award this year, and now waits to see if his hard work has paid off.
(Delaney) "If I get a shot, I would absolutely love to take advantage of that. You know, it's the greatest game in the world."
Chris Hoenig, FOX News Radio.

Belmont Two-tier Vanity Tray
love the two tier vanity tray!
It is even better than pictured, very high quality. Love it!
April 27, 2012
Wonderful and attractive
I purchased the Belmont Two-tier Vanity Tray. I do enjoy it very much. As for the size, it is very good, but we girls always thinks we should have more. It is a beautiful piece for my vanity and helps tremedously with my clutter. A very good purchase on my part. Thank you, Karen

Complimentary peice to her dresser
Our son returned home from the Air Force stationed in Ankerage Alaska. He brought home a large Russian Blue cat. Unfortunately, this cat destroyed my wifes previous mirror stand when being chased by our other Alpha cat. She was in tears until I gave this two tiered item to her as a birthday present recently. It was remarkable to see her eyes gleam and proudly place this item where the broken peice previously was. Well worth the search to find this item.

Belmont Vanity Tray
I purchased the Belmont Personalized Oval Vanity Tray for a Parisian Boudoir I created. It is perfect on the vanity I have with antique brass hardware. I usually don't like monogrammed things, but the single script letter looks very elegant and classy.
March 4, 2012
Very elegant and functional
I like the two-tiers for added space. My dressing table looks organized and oh so pretty.
February 7, 2012
A quality made beautiful girly addition to my master bath. A little pricey, but if you have expensive perfumes, aren't they worth it :-)
February 7, 2012
Great purchase.
The tray is beautiful. I kept looking at the item for about two years with interest to buy. I finally decided I had to have it. Even better looking than the picture. Really dressed up my bathroom counter. I am very pleased.
February 4, 2012
good purchase
Pretty tray but way overpriced.
February 3, 2012
two tier beauty
Upon my arrival, of my Belmont two tier vanity tray, I pulled the tray out of the surrounding packing, and I heard a squeaking loud noise from the top tier bar and the left bar. I called Front Gate and reinacted the noise via telephone. Two operator later, I was offered a 25% off to keep the tray. Which I did. Because I wanted to finish my master bathroom. I had a family of four arriving within minutes from Ohio. I love the appearance of the tray. I am somewhat concern about the bottom tray being a mirror instead of glass. But it is studly beautiful and timeless. I love Frontgate! Frontgate staff is superior! I miss living near the warehouse.and hope to visit Westchester Ohio soon.
Best Regardes, PattiK
February 2, 2012
Quality and Elegance
This tray adds just the right spark to my dressing table. The size is perfect. The glass is thick and the handles are solidly attached to the glass tray. Mine was personalized and the etching was done perfect. The shape is unique and elegant. I love, love, love it!
February 1, 2012
Beautiful Tray
I have this tray and it is absolutely beautiful. It is heavy and well made and holds a lot of items / sizes. Although I am a Frontgate customer, I found this item a local discount store for 1/4 of the price it is offered here for.

December 11, 2011
Most Beautiful Vanity Tray
Quite pricey, but, the only reason I gave this "4 Stars". This tray is something you can't find anywhere else and I have looked relentlessly for quite some time. It makes my ordinary bathroom look a step above the rest! I just wish they were more reasonably priced. I also purchased the two tier for my bedroom and I feel like royalty everytime I walk into my "Palace"

beautiful vanity tray
This vanity tray is beautiful and looks even more exquisite being monogrammed. It is not as big as I would have liked it, but non-the-less, it looks rich holding the few items on my vanity. While it was a personal purchase, I would not hesitate to give as a gift. Love it!
February 2, 2011
Belmont Oval Vanity Tray
The tray is very attractive and looks wonderful with perfumes and pretty bottles on it. It isn't overpowering in size, just right for a few things to be displayed on a counter in the bathroom. I didn't get the personalized tray, just my decision. I got the tray in Chrome--as that is what I have in my bath.
January 29, 2011
I finally found it!!!
My son gave me a small lovely porcelain edged with nickel dish for Christmas. I wanted to use it to capture my jewelry. Then I thought, I need a vanity tray that is beautiful to hold my son's dish and some other lovely things that are on my dresser. I looked and looked and when FRONTGATE catalogue came in the mail, well there it was, just what I was looking for. I ordered it and it is lovely, just perfect for my "special" things...
January 28, 2011
Great addition to vanity

Love this vanity tray. It's classy and was exactly what I was looking for. Dresses up my bedroom.
December 24, 2010
Simply Elegant!
This perfume/vanity tray is simply elegant. I love perfume, and it displays all of my bottles very nicely. And the antique brass hardware matches the hardware on my furniture nicely.
December 2, 2010
Touch of Elegance
This item is a bit pricey, but I could not resist buying it. Adds elegance to my newly decorated bathroom. Its unique because of the two tiers. I use the top tier when I take off my jewelry. Surfed the internet for days before deciding to buy -- then I got an extra 20% discount. Absolutely love Frontgate!
December 1, 2010
This is a beautiful, sturdy vanity tray. Would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I carry a H&K P2000SK with LEM trigger. I also have a H&K P2000 with LEM both in 9mm. I never shoot the P2000. My dad is wanting a 9mm and I can sell him the P2000. If I sell it I'm thinking about getting a Glock 19. I don't own any Glocks and I see a lot of 19's mentioned on here.
Knowing H&K's are more expensive than Glock I'm having a hard time justifying selling a more expensive gun to buy one that has less value. It seems as though this is a step backward so to speak.
I have an itch to own the 19 and I'm not sure why.

Please, stories welcome. I have been doing AG for about a year now. I have some of the classic issues, eg low efficiency at times, missing my mash temp, desire for more and better equipment (read SWMBO fiscal responsibility lectures), and I have yet to make a beer that is not good if not excellent. Am I just gifted? Please, somebody knock me off my pedestal. P.S. May be it's the 3 month old Saison talking. Who knows. 7.6% and clean does make for an entertaining night of brewing.
Primary: Hard Lemonade Secondary: none Kegged: Boddington's clone, Chocolate porter, pale ale
It's pretty difficult unless you try to do something wacky. I added coffee to a recent beer. I should have paid more attention to the methods described but tried something different. I have a keg full of carbonated coffee.
Make Beer, Not War.
I decided to design my own stout for my 3rd AG recipe. It tasted like liquid smoke, with some charcoal mixed in, so I dumped it. That was the only batch I have ever dumped. I have had a couple of so-so recipes in the past couple years. ALL OF MY SO-SO RECIPES HAVE INVOLVED THE OVERADDITION OF HIGHLY KILNED GRAINS!!!!! Just so I am clear, read the previous sentence again, out loud. When I am using base grains, and anything else under 120L, things just seem to turn out good to great. The only exception the So-So rule above was when I primed a batch with pure Maple Syrup. Either Charlie P. was wrong, or the syrup was boiled down more than normal, but when you pour a glass, there is 3/4 foam.
WablesBeer- On Deck: Yo Mama! Primary: Oatmeal Stout, 219 APA Secondary:Honey Blonde Keggerator:Apfelwine, Honey BlondeWine- Primary- Secondary- Simply Strawberry (5 gal), Strawberry-Rhubarb (2 gal),Plum (5 gal)
The only way you can make a bad beer is if you have picky tastebuds and don't like the warm sensation of alcohol passing through your body. It's ALWAYS all good.
Define bad. I made a light ale for the wussy drinkers and found it to be like water, no flavor, no nothing, little abv. I forced myself to drink that crap just to make sure I remembered how bad it was. I think the lesson will stick. I've gotten pretty adventurous with making recipes up, it always comes out as beer. Just a matter of what you're expectations are. A lot harder to screw up ag, at least in the sense of abv. It will still taste great. My first IRA 6-7 years ago that I brewed without the buddy that taught me to homebrew had very low abv as I screwed up the sparge. Tasted fantastic though, so I didn't consider it a total screw up or bad beer at all, just had to work hard to get a buzz.
There's a difference between making a bad tasting beer, and ruining it...and it's hard to ruin (i.e. infect for the lurking n00bs) but it is pretty easy to make dissapointing batches. It's like cooking, you can easily have an unbalanced batch, or a batch with too much of one or more ingredients, like 'mus and Wable mentioned...or using a yeast that produces flavors you don't want in your beer. But I wish I could press the idea of the difficulty to actually ruin a batch...I mean, all of us at one time or another have dropped a grommet or something in our fermentor, or stuck an unsanitized body part in...or forgot to sanitize their wine theif once, splashed hot wort, has had a siphon break, or done some other bonehead move, and usually the beer STILL turns out fine...
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT.

Good-bye Checking Account, Hello Prepaid Card
Launched as a partnership with Walmart, the Bluebird prepaid card is being marketed to the mega-retailer's millions of customers. The hope is to cash in on disgruntled consumers who may be feeling used and abused by fees at the big banks. While Walmart and American Express are keeping hush on the details of how each will profit from Bluebird, it isn't hard to see how the arrangement will be a win-win should the cards take off with the public.
Not all prepaid cards are created equal
Although prepaid cards such as the Bluebird promise lower fees than checking accounts, consumers still need to shop around for the best deal. The Pew Charitable Trusts studied the issue of using prepaid cards as an alternative to checking accounts and found the cards can come with a mish-mash of confusing fees and fee disclosures.
The 52 general purpose reloadable cards examined in the study had anywhere from 7 to 15 individual fees that could range from 50 cents to $9.95. What's more, fee disclosures for the cards could be confusing at best for some products.
While the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is considering recommendations regarding how to standardize fees and disclosures for prepaid debit cards and credit cards, right now, it is up to consumers to do their homework.
If you are one of the consumers feeling smitten with prepaid cards, be diligent about selecting the right card. Make sure you can conveniently access your money and that you aren't trading your high-fee checking account for a high-fee prepaid card.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Here's another team "not shopping" but "willing to listen". (Wink, wink.)
First things first: The Oakland Athletics do not plan to trade third baseman Josh Donaldson, according to major-league sources.
The A's would listen if teams inquired on pitchers such as right-hander Jeff Samardzija and lefty Scott Kazmir. However, they will not shop either and are adamant about keeping Donaldson, who is under club control for four more years, sources say.
Rich Harden is available.

One rival executive raised an interesting possibility in the aftermath of the Athletics' stunning 9-8 loss to the Royals in the American League wild-card game:
Trade right-hander Jeff Samardzija.
Another rival exec, knowing how Beane never likes to get caught in between, speculated that the Athletics' GM might trade third baseman Josh Donaldson, too.
Wishful thinking? Perhaps. But Beane acquired Samardzija with the idea that the ...

There is no greater feeling than love. Weddings have a special energy that I really enjoy being apart of. They are full of emotion and warm feelings. I love to be able to document this in an honest and artistic way.
This is a selection of some of my favorite wedding images. Please visit my blog to see a larger collection of my work.
All of the little things that make the day unique.
"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.To him...a touch is a blow,a sound is a noise,a misfortune is a tragedy,a joy is an ecstasy,a friend is a lover,a lover is a god,and failure is death.Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - - - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating."

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I recently purchased the Sony WM-FX290 AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player to listen to while on morning walks. If youre considering this unit, you will hopefully find this review very useful. First the overview: The Sony WM-FX290 is a slim and lightweight cassette walkman with digital AM/FM/TV/Weather Band Tuner. I believe the WM-FX290 is the replacement for the older Sony WM-FX281 (has all of the features of the WM-FX281, but is much smaller and lighter). The WM-FX290 easily fits into a shirt pocket. Sony claims that the WM-FX290 will also run off of one "AA" battery for 35 hours or more (apparently, depending on whether you use the cassette player or just listen to the radio). It also comes with really nice sounding headphones. Next, my personal observations: Well, I can confirm that the radio has operated successfully for well over 2 months (7 days per week, 1 hour and 15 minutes per day) off of one cheap, regular AA battery from a dollar store. I walk 5 miles every morning for 1 hour and 15 minutes. It has an LCD display that shows how much battery life is left when the unit is on. So, I havent had to change the battery yet. However, I suspect the battery would have run down by now if I used the cassette feature. However, I dont use the cassette player feature (hey, its the age of the compact disc). My old walkman used to use two AA batteries and would not last as long as this radio using its one battery under the same conditions. The WM-FX290 is not the most expensive or the cheapest cassette walkman. I purchased mine from Target for $29.99. To streamline the walkmans design, many of the buttons are consolidated. I thought I would be able to figure out how to use all of the features without reading the operating manual; but, believe me you will have to quickly skim the manual. This is because many of the features of the WM-FX290 require that you press the same buttons some specific multiple number of times to activate different features. But, one quick reading of the short one page manual will quickly get you up to speed. The radio sounds great. It has a Mega Bass option and a distant and local radio band function. So, for stations that are far away, you can generally pick them up after switching to the distant feature. I live in the southern part of the United States (in the country); so, I have to pick up stations from as far as 100 miles away. The radio does a decent job of doing so, but, some days are better than others as far as static goes. The radio also has a Hold feature which allows you to lock the current settings in place so that they dont change if a button is accidentally pressed while youre walking/running. The radio comes with a carrying case that the radio fits inside. I usually just put the radio in my jacket pocket (similar to a front shirt pocket) and carry it safely and comfortably. Overall, Im happy with the radio and am looking forward to using more of its features in the future. Finally, the official specifications: One "AA" battery is enough to power it for up to 35 hours*, and the tuner includes FM, AM, TV and weather bands. It has 40 station presets and digital auto preset scanning. It includes a Mega Bass� Sound System and a digital LCD Display. Plus, you get accessories such as the Sony MDR-023 stereo headphones and a carry case with belt clip. Features: New Slim Design is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. Controls are all in-line for easy use. TV Tuner & Weather Band lets you listen to audio from TV channels 2-13, and up-to-the-minute weather from your local Weather Band broadcasts. Digital Synthesized FM/AM Stereo Tuner provides the most accurate drift-free tuning of AM and FM stereo radio stations. 1 "AA" Battery Operation provides hours of listening and makes the radio compact and inexpensive to use. Digital Auto Preset Scanning at the press of a button, auto scan feature plays a few seconds of each memorized radio station, in sequence, to help you select stations for listening and set into memory. 40 Station Preset Tuning (7TV/4WB/24FM/5AM) offers convenient one-button tuning of your choice of 7 TV, 4 WB, 24 FM stations and 5 AM stations. Up to 35 Hours Extended Battery Life* with 1 "AA" battery is made possible by advanced technology that allows extended battery life beyond previous limits. Mega Bass� Sound System produces deep, rich bass tones for more pleasing overall sound. Battery Level Indicator on LCD provides visible indication of battery power. Automatic Volume Limiter System (AVLS) automatically adjusts music passages that vary widely, for improved listener comfort and clear sound. FM Local/Distant (DX) Switch provides optimal reception of both near and distant stations. Digital LCD Display indicates radio station frequency, preset status and cassette operation. Carry Case with Belt Clip lets you conveniently "wear" your Walkman� unit while walking or during other activities. *Actual battery life may vary upon usage patterns.

So I've started a development blog for a little game I'm making on my own called "Dirty Angels". It's a cutesy spin off from Blade Kitten starting Kit and Justice in a side scrolling arcade game. You know the kind you used to get in the arcades - like Rolling Thunder and Bade Dudes vs the Dragon Ninja. Nothing too complex since I'm probably going to do it all myself.
On the blog I'm posting stuff as I do it and trying to document the mess that I call game development. You'll see a lot of stuff that marketing avoids showing you because it's a) not sexy and b) not interesting to most people. But if you want to see how a 20 year veteran of allsizes of games goes about making a game on it's own you might find it interesting - or just sad. Whatever. I'm having fun with it and updating regularly with all sorts of stuff.
So click below and please follow the tumblr, the more the merrier.

Microsemi's Next-generation CodeSEAL Tamper Prevention Software Protects Critical Algorithms From Reverse Engineering
ALISO VIEJO, Calif.,
Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, announced it has released a new version of its CodeSEAL™ defense-grade software protection platform, providing significant enhancements to the performance, security, and ease of tamper-prevention and reverse-engineering protection development.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110909/MM66070LOGO)
With the latest release of Microsemi's state-of-the-art CodeSEAL, critical software algorithms can be protected against the most sophisticated attackers significantly faster and more securely than previous generation solutions. CodeSEAL enhancements include:
- New software protection mechanisms to detect and react to the latest dynamic attacks;
- Enhanced issue/error system providing immediate feedback for developers actively changing their unprotected software while developing a protection using the CodeSEAL Protection Development Environment;
- Workflow enhancements to simplify protections for complex software with many source/object files;
- Significantly decreased protection build times with enhancements to the protection insertion engine; and
- Ease-of-use enhancements to the disassembly and source views.
"Microsemi has been developing leading-edge software protection products for over a decade, providing value and security for the most critical United States government and Department of Defense systems and data," said Charlie Leader, vice president at Microsemi. "With each new software release we provide a significantly higher security level for our customers' codes, which allows them to meet stringent requirements with considerably less effort using a highly secure, proven solution."
About CodeSEALCodeSEAL consists of a library of software protection mechanisms that can be inserted into desktop and embedded software applications using a sophisticated code insertion engine. Through a simple, drag-and-drop interface, CodeSEAL users can quickly augment insecure applications with protection mechanisms that fortify deployed applications against software reverse engineering vulnerabilities, debugging, tampering and code-lifting attacks. Each CodeSEAL protection mechanism can be configured to address application-specific performance and security requirements. CodeSEAL was built using over a decade of software protection development experience. Protection mechanisms found in CodeSEAL are designed for flexibility in speed and security and can now be inserted many times faster than previous versions. Compatible with many desktop and embedded processor architectures and operating systems, CodeSEAL is a low risk way of adding security to many software applications without compromising on performance while minimally impacting customers' development schedules. This and other Microsemi cryptography, software, and hardware products including WhiteboxCRYPTO™ and EnforcIT™ are built in the U.S. in one of Microsemi's trusted facilities.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Good News for Children in the National Health Reform Debate
Original post made by DoctorFeelGood, Castlewood, on Oct 5, 2009
Last week, the Senate Finance Committee finished its process of accepting and rejecting amendments to the Chairman's Mark of the America's Healthy Future Act of 2009 - the Senate's health care reform bill. An important amendment for children, provided by Senator Rockefeller, was accepted by the Committee. The Rockefeller amendment calls for existing Medicaid coverage for children and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to remain in place through at least 2019. This will protect the level of coverage and benefits children will receive in national health care reform.
In addition, an amendment by Senator Bingaman establishes a coordinated and unified enrollment and renewal system for Medicaid, CHIP, and the subsidy program available through the Exchanges for health insurance established by the health reform proposal.

Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Derrick Rose had 21 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds, leading the Bulls to a 97-83 win over the Magic on Thursday.
Luol Deng added 21 points, while Carlos Boozer had 20 and 13 boards for the Bulls, winners of six straight. Kyle Korver hit five three-pointers and finished with 18 points.
Dwight Howard paced the Magic, losers in two of their last three, with 28 points and 15 rebounds. Jason Richardson chipped in 17 points and Hedo Turkoglu finished with 12.
At 7-1, the Bulls are off to their best start to the 1996-97 campaign, when they began the year 12-0 en route to their second of three straight NBA titles.
On Friday, they used a dominant second quarter to take a 53-43 lead into the break. Deng scored 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting in the first half, while Rose added 12 points and six assists.
The advantage was 73-62 entering the fourth before the Magic briefly threatened. Howard made it an 80-77 game with six minutes remaining courtesy of back-to-back layups in the post. The Bulls, though, closed with a 17-6 run to seal the win. Korver was tough down the stretch, scoring nine points on 3- of-4 shooting from beyond the arc over the final 12 minutes of play.

Garbanzo Flour
maryfran444发表于 Jun 20, 2012
First, I have to say I love Bob's Red Mill and I love garbanzo bean flour. Fiber rich and gluten free, it can be used in place of regular flour in lots of recipes. It makes a great tasting gravy...just add baking powder and a little salt as you normally would with flour. It has a unique taste that is appealing to me. I sub some into my flax muffins to make them lighter and not so dense. It's a good alternative flour for healthy, gluten free cooking.

The fuel taxes for the US don't take account of state and local gas taxes. For example tn Florida, the state and local gas taxes are significantly higher than the federal tax. The Federal tax is only 18.4 cents per gallon, compared to at least 25 cents by state and local gov'ts.http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/pdf/07b05-03.pdf@The Spine: They took account of a liter being less than a gallon@An Elephant: per capita GDP in Germany was 35,000 in 2006, in France it was 30,100, in the UK 37,328, and in the US it was 43,594. The current economic problems are due to a housing bubble, and the financial problems associated with that. While the federal gov't has been wasteful, the tax cuts are not responsible for the immediate woes.
My apologies. There was obviously some bad formatting there...The quote should read:"This isn't an argument about whether or not taxes--particularly energy taxes--are "good" or "bad." Rather, this essay has a narrow focus: IF we're going to attempt to reduce gasoline demand through taxation, what is the best way to do it?Here's my somewhat counter-intuitive theory: to most effectively reduce long-term gasoline demand, gasoline taxes should increase, not decrease, long-term price volatility."http://www.theoildrum.com/node/3756
Here's a good little thought experiment on gas taxes over at The Oil Drum that is germane to this conversation:http://www.theoildrum.com/node/3756"This isn�€™t an argument about whether or not taxes�€"particularly energy taxes�€"are �€œgood�€� or �€œbad.�€� Rather, this essay has a narrow focus: IF we�€™re going to attempt to reduce gasoline demand through taxation, what is the best way to do it?Here�€™s my somewhat counter-intuitive theory: to most effectively reduce long-term gasoline demand, gasoline taxes should increase, not decrease, long-term price volatility."
I wonder where Malta fits in this table?
Although not mentioned, the cost of petrol in India is about 0.75 Euros per litre. Even at this cost, it is still partially subsidised. However, stepping up fuel prices spurred two-wheeler manufacturers and to a lesser extent car manufacturers in India to enhance fuel effeciency. Stepping up the taxes on fossil fuels and subsidising green fuels is a step in the right direction any government should take.
With VAT in Europe the difference will be bigger. But personaly I support high taxes on petrol.And that is not a surprise that U.S. shows clear ignorance to enviromental problems.
With VAT in Europe the difference will be bigger. But personaly I support high taxes on petrol.And that is not a surprise that U.S. shows clear ignorance to enviromental problems.
The Japanese tax on petrol includes a "provisional" additional levy of 25 JPY per liter, which was introduced in the 1970s. It is actually due to expire at the end of this month and with the lack of a clear majority in the government it looks like it may actually do so...., until they can manage to re-introduce it. Apparently Mr Nukaga the Finance Minister hopes they can get the bill through quickly to prevent a "confusing" drop in the tax rate for one month.
The money is supposed to be spent on building and repairing roads, but in reality a fair amount has been syphoned off in "expenses".
Mr Fuyushiba of the Transport Ministry says the provisional tax rate expiring would be "dreadful", perhaps he has another musical planned, apparently this is the kind of thing the tax has been spent on in the past.
Britain has being campaign in Iraq and contributing for increasing international oil prices. The higher the price, the more expensive petrol costs in UK and a higher contribution from British taxpayers to equalize government's fiscal policy. Easy to guess why Britain keeps on enthusiastically fighting for oil in Iraq.
With all the hubbub of India and China being upstarts in the energy and commodities markets, why have they been omitted? This chart looks dearly incomplete with out their presence. Please amend and re-submit as soon as practicable. Thank youVasudev
There's something thats very obvious that most posters are missing. In the US, we measure by dollars per gallon, not by liter. Therefore if Europe is taxing by liter and the US is taxing by gallon, Europe taxes close to 4 times as much per unit of fuel. This tax is built in and due to the use of the liter measure, those in Europe / Asia don't notice this difference.
Also, for those of you who are happy to see tax increases per unit of fuel; be prepared to pay higher prices for EVERYTHING. That food you are you cooking for dinner isn't brought to the store in a horse drawn carraige. Those shoes on your feet aren't brought to the tailer / retailer by carrier pigeon. All of these vendors have items brought to them by some kind of vehicle that uses fuel. These vendors don't pay for the extra fuel costs on your products out of the kindness of their hearts. These vendors pass all costs on to you.
Add in the hundreds of billions per year in taxes that America spends in the middle east for security, and the "tax" on petrol would be nearer America's peers.
@ekinoks 09:57: I can give you the figures. The standard of living in North (West) Europa is in the same range as in most parts of the US. Europe uses 30% less petrol to obtain the same standard of living. We bring our money to our tax offices, the US brings it to Middle-East countries it is at war with. --- The current economic crisis in the US has been caused by sudden changes in the amount of tax levied by several administrations. Never change the total amount of taxes by more than half a percent a year. Always be careful to spend taxes well. A stable economy leads to more prosperity than changes can bring.
"At 2006 exchange rates". Wouldn't the chart look rather different in 2008?Yes, the difference between the GBP/EUR countries and the US would be even greater
An additional chart, that basically divides tax amount(�'�/lt) to GDP per head(PPP) would also be beneficial. because it can illustrate how much pain people are feeling when they are subject to such taxes.
Despite being an everyday gasoline user from Turkey which rocks the list on the top, I still prefer higher taxes (tough I am against of introducing new taxes and of those already in use especially VAT) to curb the fossil fuel comsumption down and to urge for more environment friendly way of life and research for alternative resources. I believe this would also encourage railway usage which was hindered by the gasoline lobby.
I agree India would be a nice addition. Also a few more charts - total revenue, & total revenue per capita in each country as well. Having the lowest tax isn't necessarily a positive thing, especially considering the amount of subsidies thrown into petroleum. I think it may be time for a minimum price for gasoline, perhaps a 10 year mandate adjusted yearly and regionally. This will not only further push higher mileage/alternative fuel investments, it will also have the pay-off of getting our car companies back in the international market and compete substantially in nations with higher standards than us.
How much is the remaining amount or the total that the users pay for petrol? If you had included India it would have been nice.
"At 2006 exchange rates". Wouldn't the chart look rather different in 2008?

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick
The Invention of Hugo Cabret is about a boy whose father died because of a fire and now he's living in the walls of a subway fixing clocks. He then discovers a robot his father never finished and takes it upon himself to finish it. The last part that he needs is a key that he gets from his friend Isabelle who he meets in the subway. His father also happened to be a famous filmmaker who was inspired by an old man who sold toys who was Isabelle's grandfather. At the end of the book Isabelle and her grandparents take Hugo in as their own. 3 Stars - Reviewed by Emma
Radiance by Alyson Noel
The book Radiance, (in my opinion) is a very unique book compared to others that I've read. It's very different from many other books because the author makes death seem like a sort of pleasant experience. I've never read a book that did that. I also really liked how the kids in the "Here & Now" (the afterlife) attended a ghost school. I would recommend this book to people who like mysteries and adventurous books. 5 Stars - Reviewed by Noam

5 One TO BuySpeedFreak123 | 04/08/2007 | See all SpeedFreak123's reviews (2)i have this game on xbox360 and i telll you something , i havent played a better game than this not that the graphis matter because we are talking about the psp the story line is supurb! a brand new range of wepons , outstanding gameplay , if you want a tactial shooter game and looking for a one of a kind game id choose this !!!! hope this help
4 One of the best shooters on the PSPKevinM | 03/09/2007 | See all KevinM's reviews (2)'Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2' on the PSP is a conversion of the highly successful "squad shooter" game of the same name that is already available on the Xbox 360. This handheld version has a couple of differences though.First of all the squad elements of the game have been removed, so unless you are playing this on co-op campaign or your mission is to escort someone, your soldier is in the action on his own. In my opinion this is can be better as sometimes on the 360 version having to command your squad as well as face the enemy yourself can get a little fiddly and although sometimes it can mean that they free up an area ahead from enemies by your command, it can also be a real pain having to run back to heal them when you are trying to fight off a couple of terrorists at the same time.Next, the levels are different to it's bigger brother, so if you have played the other version before, this will feel like a new game to you.The graphics on GRAW2 are absolutely brilliant for a handheld game, with sharp images throughout make seeing enemies in the distance no problem at all. The hazy effects adds to the atmosphere, giving you the feeling that youe are in the humid jungle and streets in the game. Character animation is also very realistic, although sometimes enemy AI can be a little buggy (they hear a shot an will flick to be in lying down position).The controls are where this game has impressed me the most, making great use of the PSP having only 1 stick. Like in Gun Showdown for the PSP, the stick is used to move your solider around whilst the 4 buttons on the right (X, triangle, square and circle) are used to look around. This makes aiming much more precise than using the 360's right stick and once you've been playing for a few minutes, you won't have any problems at all with this unique control method. The direction buttons are used to reload, change weapon, crouch/standup/lie down and use the probe and navel cannons as well as pick up weapons and open the ammo box, whilst the shoulder buttons aim/change view and fire your weapon.Overall this is by far one of the best shooters I've played on the PSP so far and is a great addition to the Tom Clancy series along with Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six. The difficulty is pretty hard even on the easy setting but if you have played any of the other Tom Clancy games you should be used to this. I recommend this to anyone who likes games like Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid, Rainbow Six or Syphon Filter and if you have played GRAW2 on any other format I'd definitely still give this one a go.
4 Solid gamebrightchild0 | 08/05/2008 | See all brightchild0's reviews (12)Bought this game for my son who is into army/shooter games . He loved it, now he can play his favorite style of game on the go. The PSP really delivers, remember its ahand held machine, which seems to nearly have the power of the PS2. The game is in depth & draws you in - a good buy!!!

2 Its OKPlayGamer | 31/08/2007 | See all PlayGamer's reviews (1)since the graphics are brilliant for a PSP and good game story, but the problem is that for me it took 3 hours to complete. thats it 3 hours to complete with the occasional going to the toilet now and again, but still 3 hours! i know its not probably like this on the PS3 XBOX360 or PC but i think they should of fitted more in!!! Also once you've completed it, thats it, theres nothing else you can do on the game except do the story again! I wish i hadn't of bought it now! it was £30 for 3 hours of gameplay!
