Hunan province got to bask in the national limelight last week as China celebrated the 120thbirthday of native son and revolutionary hero Mao Zedong.
Just two days later, Hunan had some less heroic behavior that brought it to national attention. A bribery scandal led to the resignation of more than 500 of the representatives from one of its biggest cities and the provincial congress, according to a statement from Hunan officials.
China has been battling a persistent corruption problem – but the Hunan case reached eye-popping proportions. Read More »
Companies doing business in China are reconsidering the wisdom of giving even small gifts such as mooncakes.
Mooncakes, dense Chinese cakes commonly stuffed with salted egg yolks to represent the full moon, are popular gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival. But in the corporate world, "mooncakes have been a hard sell this year" after Chinese authorities in August banned their purchase with public funds, says Qiang Li, managing partner at law firm O'Melveny & Myers' Shanghai office.

A prominent Chinese businesswoman accused of supplying the country's disgraced former railways minister with money and women will face trial on charges of bribery and illegal business practices, according to state media.
Ding Yuxin has been a key figure in official accounts of the downfall of former Railways Minister Liu Zhijun, who was given a suspended death sentence in July after confessing to accepting around $10.5 million in bribes over a 25-year period. Read More »
China's anti-corruption drive would appear to be no laughing matter, with a growing list of government officials facing lengthy prison stays for living suspiciously beyond their means.
But try telling that to "smiling official" Yang Dacai, who was captured wearing an odd grin at a trial that on Thursday saw him sentenced to 14 years in jail for accepting bribes. Read More »
Wages are still climbing rapidly in China and many companies are having trouble filling jobs—evidence of a structural shortage in the labor market that may help China adjust to slower growth without political instability; Hong Kong's independent anticorruption agency charged two billionaire brothers, co-chairmen of one of the city's biggest property developers, with bribing the city's former No. 2 government official; China's GDP growth decelerated to its slowest pace since the global financial crisis, damping hopes that the world's second largest economy will provide much support for the faltering global economy.

Two of the most persistent sources of rage among Chinese people – the sometimes thuggish nature of the country's legal system and the sorry state of the national soccer league – have come together in a saga involving Xie Yalong, the former Chinese Football Association chief.
Mr. Xie is being accused in a Chinese court of accepting 1.7 million yuan, or roughly $273,000, worth of bribes, said his attorney, Jin Xiaohui, in an interview on Wednesday. A report from state-owned Xinhua News Agency said Mr. Xie allegedly accepted bribes from 1998 to 2008 from a dozen individuals, clubs and companies. Mr. Xie is the highest ranking official to be charged in one of China's "ever-widening crackdown on soccer corruption," according to Xinhua.
But Mr. Jin says his client denies the charges. He also says Mr. Xie stated that he had been tortured during interrogation. Read More »
Chinese companies trail only their Russian counterparts in how often they use bribes to get what they want, according to a new survey, in the latest reminder of the challenge that Beijing's anticorruption efforts face.
Transparency International, the Berlin-based anticorruption group, said the businesspeople it surveyed believe companies headquartered in China engage in bribery far more often than do others based just about anywhere else. China posted a score of 6.5 on a scale in which zero indicates that companies in a country use bribes all the time and 10 represents companies that never use bribery. Only Russia, at 6.1, posted a lower score among the 28 countries counted. Read More »
China's territorial ambitions in the East and South China seas are by now well-documented. Much less understood is one of the key factors in the country's ability to realize those ambitions: an increasingly well-funded and capable maritime militia.
China now has a key tool for sidestepping weak government enforcement of pollution controls, but only if it's allowed to function as intended.
The U.S. has been urging allies to steer clear of Asia's new China-led infrastructure investment bank. Robert Zoellick, former president of the World Bank, calls that approach mistaken on multiple levels.
Can legal reform and Communist Party control coexist in a way that will benefit Chinese governance and society?This is the question that confronts the country in the wake of its annual legislative gathering.
China's just-concluded legislative sessions seem to be another example of the deinstitutionalization of politics under Xi Jinping. Months from now, these meetings won't be seen as harbingers of reform, so much as another lost opportunity, writes CRT analyst Russell Moses.

Munchkin Axe Cop (Game)
Publisher: Steve Jackson Games
Release Date: October 2011
Price: $24.95
Number of Players: 3 to 6
Playing Time: Approx. 60 minutes
Format: Box with cards and 6-sided die
Age Rating: 10 and up
Product #: 4401SJG
ICv2 Rating: 4 Stars out of 5
A Dinosaur Warrior Baby kicks open a door, and encounters Dr. Stinky Head. In danger of losing to this villain, he asks for help from Avocado Cop, whose levels and abilities appear to turn the tide, until Telescope Gun Cop aids Dr. Stinky Head by providing him with A Truckful of Ninjas…
No, really, that is a possible sequence of events in this Munchkin game variant.
The basic Munchkin was a card game that played off of the clichés of dungeon-bashing in a role-playing game. Later versions have spun off into the genres of the wild west, gangsters, spies, horror movies and other variations. This time, though, the whole game is based on the Axe Cop webcomic. The comic is surreal and strange, since the stories are created by a child and illustrated by his much older brother. Oddly, that works well with the Munchkin rules and format.
The mechanics are simple. You add your levels and your bonuses and compare them with those of a monster. Highest total wins. The play of cards in support of allies or to trip up opposing players makes it a fun but cutthroat game. Odd tricks and combinations can be used to win, or to prevent an opponent from winning, often making it difficult for the leading player to actually win. Skill, subtlety and wackiness are all on display in a typical game.
The game box says 1-2 hours, but that's only because players will spend extra time laughing at the weird things happening, and trying to visualize the results. Because the whole game is compatible with other Munchkin games, players can mix decks in ways that make play even more surreal, but that may make their heads explode. Of course, that would fit right in with Munchkin Axe Cop.

Kitchen Reveal - Traditional Quiet White Kitchen
When the second oven blew out last summer on our 20 year old Viking, we knew the writing was on the wall to renovate the kitchen. Our home was built in 1919 and when the previous owners had renovated the kitchen in 1990, they "modernized" the kitchen, removing some of the original moldings that matched the rest of the house, adding black formica, checkerboard tile, and a professional, albeit oversized, range. We wanted to create a new kitchen with style choices appropriate to the simple detailing of our red brick Georgian home, restore the moldings, and create more storage space. The first thing we did was to remove the soffit that ran around the perimeter of the kitchen. Sure enough, it was hiding piping that offset just below our finished ceiling. We were able to abandon a redundant radiator on the floor above and re-route the piping into the ceiling. This gave us not only more storage but also the feeling of a much higher ceiling than 8'-3." We were able to keep the flooring intact and re-use the existing dishwasher. In addition to my role as designer, I also was the GC. Although I am pretty quiet here on the forum, I learned quite a bit from all of you and just knowing we were all going through the same thing together helped quiet my nerves when I thought I couldn't take another day of this. Thank you!!!

Oh beautiful kitchen!!
I love that color scheme and was just looking at beautiful slabs of quartzite this weekend. Wishing I had a design so I could snap them up, but I'm far from that point.
I too want white cabs and was wondering what shades would work with madre perla. This was the first time I've seen it in my area and didn't have any cab doors to hold up to it. Hard to tell from the pictures, but is sail white a creamy or off white? I also love subway tile; was it difficult to find a shade that coordinated?
Your floors are beautiful. What type of wood and what color is the stain?
What color is your door and window trim?
I also love you table and chairs. Can you share a source? I haven't seen the stone top before.
Thanks for sharing; love it!
The table is the classic tulip table by Eero Saarinen with arrabescato marble top and Globus chairs in white, all from DWR.
Sail white is very close to the linen white we have throughout our house, which is why we selected it. All the trim in the room is linen white by BM, including the door and windows. We went cheap with tile but there are so many shades of white out there at many price points, so never fear!
The floors are oak, I think and we did not refinish them, so I have no idea what stain was used....sorry not to be more help.
Wow, this is really the day for gorgeous kitchen reveals! I just rushed through this and off to bed and am looking forward to reviewing it in more detail tomorrow. But just quickly I love the counters with the backsplash, the pendants over each window look fantastic, and your wall paint goes so well with the lovely new cabs. Such a calming and classy look overall. Great job, congrats!
Just beautiful! And so well organized! Makes me want to go clean out my cabinets. :)
A truly lovely kitchen, so tranquil. Always happy to see another Madre Perla kitchen. I love you skinny spice and tea cabinet. I love the built ins around the fridge. I especially love how neat you mudroom is- isn't it every mother's fantasy all those shoes lined up?
Parts I really like:
*lack of soffits - such a difference!
*pantry at 90 degrees to the fridge
*clever shallow cabinets to disguise whatever that protrusion is to the left of the sink
*soft white vs pale goldenrod
*separate mud room (is that snow outside?)
*and I do love that floor!
And of course the counters and sink and ....
Beautiful kitchen! Love it all! Especially like the undersink trash pullout, but may I ask...where do you store your DW detergent, soaps and other kitchen cleaning supplies etc that would typically be stored under the sink? Is this size pullout heavy/difficult to use?
What a beautiful kitchen!
Your Coastal Fog wall color is timely, for me. It's my exterior trim color, and as I recently noticed, when demolition removed lots of surrounding distractions, the color on the inside-side of my front door. I was thinking of using for interior woodwork for a Downton Abbey-ish effect, but I like it equally well on your walls where it is modern.
I am curious about the real-life color of your floor. Would you describe it as walnut-toned or cherry-toned? In my house, I love BM Linen White next to my unstained red oak floors and pine doors, but I'm not sure it will work with the natural cherry floor that are going in my kitchen. Maybe I am over-comparing? And when the cherry and linen white are left to themselves, without oak butting in, they'll play beautifully?
The table is one of my current obsessions, so I am jealous. All you need to do is take out the ceiling fan and replace it with a Poulson PH5 light and I'd be beyond jealous. I was watching a House Hunters in Copenhagen, I think, where homeowner's took their light fixtures when they move. Duh. Of course they do. They have such fabulous light designers.
The pull outs are from Rev-a-shelf. They are not specifically for under sink use but with some careful coordination, they fit under our sink with about 3/8" to spare after the lids are on. They are slightly stiffer to pull out than the rest of the blum glides on our drawers but it is in no way cumbersome. They have a soft close assist mechanism as well. The compartment behind our recycling holds the DW packets and Jet Dry and we keep garbage bags and the liquid dishsoap behind the other.
We have two toddlers so cleaning supplies have to be up high anyway. The tall cabinet in the mudroom is fairly close and houses the cleaning supplies. Heavy duty stuff is kept in the basement.
Those cabs and stunning MOP quartzite set the stage for your gorgeous kitchen. The Saarinen tulip is my favorite table base. It looks right at home in your space. I saved your mudroom pics to help with designing my cabs. Congratulations on restoring the vintage charm!
@onedogedie- We have coastal fog in a couple of rooms and it can really be a chameleon of a color in the best sort of way.
Our floors have very little red in them. Linen white is one of my favorite whites and I think it would be very happy next to cherry as well.
@ Breezy -Our love of the Saarinen table made it one of the first purchases in our home 2.5 years ago when we moved out of Manhattan. In fact, we considered doing an island but hated to get rid of that gorgeous table and an old fashioned eat in kitchen.
The ceiling fan is a leftover from the previous owners. Our next big project is central AC but until next year, we thought we would live with the 'blah' fan until we have ductwork and can swap it out for a fabulous pendant. Ah, there is always a compromise here and there, eh?
Oh, the Saarinen table, wow! Cool to see one in real life, not just in Dwell Magazine. I agree, it fits the space wonderfully and you did a great job of bringing the rest of the space up to that high water mark.
The new kitchen is terrific, congratulations! I love how organized your cupboards are. I bet that was satisfying to arrange and photograph. It all looks purposeful and sophisticated. Nicely done!
Onedog - I saw that on House Hunters in Copenhagen as well. I got a kick out of it too.
I love that table as well. So iconic, but I've never seen one with a marble top before. I covet it! :>) Does it weigh a ton?
ArchitectMama how are those chair legs on your floor. Do they scuff it up much or did you put anything on the bottom to help protect the floor?
The table weighs a TON! Moving it to our Living Room during the renovation was quite a feat. The finish on it is far more durable than a typical countertop finish. Ours has a ton of micro scratches (I don't mind, we do use it everyday and I like to think it is a patina) but zero stains. The chairs do mar the floor polish after awhile but they don't scratch the poly or make deep gouges. They are very lightweight.
Looks amazing, now I am inspired to do my own kitchen.
P.S. You must have been so happy to see that black and white backsplash go bye-bye!
I was traveling and couldn't wait to see this gorgeous kitchen on something larger than my phone.
I love it!
Aren't you so glad to be rid of those soffits! Yeah!!!
I love how you changed the kitchen to be more functional and gorgeous at the same time.
Your quartzite is beautiful and the colors are great.
OK - I Love It!
@red -From my research, yes, the quartzite will wear almost as well as granite. I'm still being careful though! The pantry with the microwave is adjacent to the fridge. In the cabinets above, I have baking pans and tools.
@gemini- getting rid of the soffits was amazing. It's a small kitchen and that made all the difference!!
That's the one! Hi, neighbor! If you don't mind, I would love to ask you some specifics about who you used for certain things and if you have any tips on surviving the renovation with little kids (I have two boys - 5.5 & 2.5). We're scheduled to demo in two weeks and I'm really starting to panic. If it's ok, please let me know and I will send you a private email. Thanks!
What a wonderful kitchen!
You have more doors in and out of your kitchen than I do, but somehow your kitchen has a much nicer configuration. I love the way the table has a corner all to itself -- seems so spacious and comfortable! The rest of the kitchen is beautiful; as others have said, it's peaceful and calm. The astonishing organization of your cabinet interiors will be fodder for much daydreaming around here.
Could you tell me the dimensions of your kitchen? Thanks!!
Justmakeit- The wall with windows is 13'-11" and the dimension in the other direction to the face of refrigerator/face of wall by table is 11'-5". The depth of the "jog" where the pantry and refrigerator sit is an additional 2'-4".
New_2_nj- yes, please email me. I just tried to email you but not sure if it went through. Happy to help in any way I can.
Thanks for all the storage feedback. Three things that I would recommend to anyone here are 1) take an inventory of what you have and think about where it will go 2) order some extra shelves than what is typical, spacing shelves tighter together yields more storage and 3) make your uppers 15" deep. I feel like our storage space doubled.
Architectmama: your kitchen is very lovely and serene. The inset cabs are beautiful and it's just wonderful overall. Can I ask: it looks like you have about the same amount of space for cabs that I do albeit a different configuration. What I'm wondering is: did you ever consider going frameless for the extra space and if so, what was the deciding factor in going with inset? Or, did the look of inset always trump the extra space of frameless?
I love the look of inset but find that I'm getting stuck on the extra inches of storage loss at least in the lowers. Could you speak to the sizes of the cabinets in your kitchen if you get a chance, please? Thanks so much!
@MareLuce- The Viking was just too big and way too expensive to overhaul. I gave it to a local appliance repair guy who said he wasn't too sure his wife was going to be pleased with his new big project. ;)
@ilikepie - The overall width is 2'-4"(width of the pantry door pair is 25", inside dim is 26.5") and it is 13" deep to accomodate the microwave. The shelf the microwave sits on is 36" high which determined the door configuration. The top door is 49" tall and the lower is 28" high. The only thing I don't keep in here are my baking supplies which go in the upper to the left of the hood and my oils which are to the right of the hood.
@deedles-I never considered frameless because I've always dreamed of inset. I really don't think you gain that much space. For instance, I measured the uppers to the right of the sink window: outside width dimension is 25" and the inside clear width is 23".
I have 3'-0" of lower on range wall (plus lemans in blind corner). On the window wall, after you account for the trash/recycling (2'-9") and the DW (2'-0") there is only 7'-2" of lower cabinets. I really did a tape mock up of every cabinet on the floor with the items to be stored in them to be sure it would all fit. It is perfect and I am an avid cook. I put all my baking pans/tools in the flip up doors over the refrigerator. They are lightweight so easy to get down and SUCH a spacsaver in my lowers! Credit goes to GW for that, although I can't remember whose kitchen.
Thanks for the info! That helps me and yup, we have just about the same frontage for cabs. One more question: how do you like your double pull out for trash/recycling under the sink? Would you keep it a one door unit or would you maybe split it now that you've had one door? Is it one door because there is no center stile? Do you find it hard to get to the stuff in the back and is there space for things between the cans? I think it looks great and would seriously consider the same arrangement if you tell me that it works well IRL. I guess I picture people having to get out of the way of the whole door vs. half the width with split doors. Maybe it's not a big deal, though?
The photo is deceiving. There are two units, they both "push open" so was difficult to photograph in a staggered position. I think one big unit would be cumbersome and too heavy. This works well for us with limited space. Again, you have too really coordinate with your sink and countertop thickness to make sure they will clear. The compartments behind the containers are great. And I love the lids, it makes it feel clean and contained.
Again, a beautiful kitchen! Just a few questions I have as we proceed with our remodel:
1. Did you take your crown moulding all the way up so that it is flush with the ceiling? Why, why not?
2. What is the height between the bottom of your counters and the counter top? In your pics it looks like they may be more than the standard 18 inches. I really like the look, looks like your Kitchenaid mixer fits effortlessly under the counter, nice look!
3.) Lastly, in nosing around your pictures I noticed the white ceramic "Salt" box in your cabinet, so cute! Can you share where you got it?
Thanks so much!
@erinf8 - The crown molding detail in our house is very odd. It is actually 1-3/4" picture molding mounted approximately 1/2" from the ceiling. Since the house is so old and the ceilings far from plumb, the 1/2" space can vary in dimension in any given room. The kitchen ceiling was terribly out of level as well. We feathered down the plaster as best as we could so the variances wouldn't be obvious. The final crown detail was actually a big disappointment of mine in this room. I could not get the cabinets guys or my carpenter to come up with a solution where we could get that 1/2" reveal at the top of the cabinets. We would have had to create extremely long scribes and had we not been running out of time, they might have figured it out. So at the cabinets the shadow line you see at the top is because the molding doesn't touch the ceiling there. It is a big compromise but when I look at the whole room, I try not to dwell on it. Sometimes working in an old house can be really challenging. I am glad I stuck to my guns and kept that little molding when I got a lot of unsolicted advice to use something larger. It just would have looked SO out of place next to the other rooms in our house.
The space between counters and uppers is 18". The light colors make it all appear more airy, I think.
Don't you love that salt box? I just got it two weeks ago at Crate and Barrel (Homestead Salt Cellar $9.95). It is the perfect size and it has a lid.
ArchitectMamma, thanks so much for the info.. Honestly, I never would have noticed your ceiling space if we too weren't struggling with the exact same problem. That is totally why I studied your pictures and noticed. We are in the same situation, older house uneven ceilings. I'm driving my contractor and husband nuts by not making a final decision on what we will do to make the crown look decent. My friends tell me I am the only one that will notice it in the end since there will be so many other improvements that will draw the attention. I think your kitchen is making me believe this even more. :-)
Interesting about your 18 inch space, it really does look more airy, never would have guessed.
And the salt box...so cute, I think I see a trip to C&B in the near future!
Glad to see your post appear back here on the first page. I meant to comment earlier and then your reveal was moved down several pages and I didn't take the time to look for it.
Your kitchen is very lovely. Quiet is a good word to describe it. I bet you are so relaxed working in your new space. All your choices work perfectly together.
Congratulations on a job well done.

Love your kitchen! It reminds me of mine....we have similar tastes. My ref. side is not done yet but has been designed to look just like that.
I will also have a 54" x 18" 102" tall hutch to the right of the archway....not yet ordered....but will be soon. Trying to decide if I want white, wood or other color. A small 48x21 island with legs (free standing) will be in the middle.

Try to Find It!
Teach your dog this behavior as a fun solution to all sorts of problem behaviors.
Find It is the very first behavior every dog should learn, in my opinion. Its versatile, easy to teach, easy to do, easy to maintain, and can be used under all kinds of circumstances in all kinds of places. Its not on the list of traditional basic obedience skills like Sit, Down, Stay, and Come, yet we can probably get more mileage out of Find It than any other behavior.

Meltwater is water that is released from melting snow or ice. This includes meltwater from glacial ice and ice shelves over oceans. Meltwater is often produced during volcanic eruptions, and can cause dangerous lahars (landslides of wet volcanic debris). When meltwater pools on the surface rather than draining or flowing away, it forms pools known as melt ponds. Meltwater will often refreeze as the temperature drops. Meltwater can also collect or melt under the ice's surface. Sub-glacial...

A cooperative geophysical'geologic transect of the Alaskan crust and upper mantle is being organized by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (ADGGS), the University of Alaska, and Rice University. The project is to be known as the Trans-Alaska Lithosphere Investigation (TALI). The route of TALI lies along the north-south corridor of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline between Prudhoe Bay and Valdez and extends offshore across the Pacific and Arctic continental margins. The transect will incorporate several supplementary profiles intersecting the primary route. TALI is envisaged as a coordinated multidisciplinary effort among government, academic and industry scientists and institutions.

humming birds
I would like to know a few things about those lovely little creatures, when do we stop putting the nector out?
then when do we put it back out. Is there any special way to attract them? I just got about 4 this year, will they come back? will more come, or follow them?
I just want them to keep coming back!
Hi Mary, Where do you live? I live in NW GA zone 7b. I keep a feeder out year round. I replied this on another post: 2 years ago I had a friend that had a Black Chin show up in Nov and an Allen's in Jan. Both stayed for 2 more weeks in Jan. My friend only lives a few miles from me. I didn't see these hummer's last year, yet will hope I will experience them this year.
There is a website that tells you what hummers have been spoted in your state. I don't have it at my fingertips at this moment. Should you be interested in it, post here and I will post it back.
Happy Hummers!
Like Jean, I too live in Georgia. It's good idea to leave a feeder out during the winter in our area. I saw a male Rufous yesterday at our local Lowe's in the outside garden center, of course. The Lowe's is just a mile up the road and I hope he finds its way to my feeders:)There was a gentlemen there, I'd guess to be in his 80's, that said it was the first "brown hummingbird" he'd ever seen.They seem to be more common in our area the past few years. Hopefully he'll stick around for the winter.
Happy birding!

Hey. Are you one of those people who watches The World Series of Pop Culture on VH1 and shouts out every answer at the TV screen? You give a little fist pump when you're right, and then awkwardly look around to make sure nobody's watching you get pumped up about a basic cable game show through the window? Hey, me too!
The WSoPC finale airs tonight, but the fun doesn't have to (see what I did there?). Go play The World Series of Pop Culture game over at Vh1.com. You'll still feel like an idiot when you break into random fist pumps, but don't worry, we won't judge you. Well, maybe just a little bit.

Xbox 360 Achievements Inspired by the Atari 2600?
One of the cooler aspects of the Xbox 360 is the addition of "achievements", which are basically rewards for achieving various in-game objectives (i.e. finish the game, unlock secret items, obtain certain high scores, etc.). As you "collect" these achievements they are added to your Xbox Live gamer profile in the form of cool icons for the world to see.
Sounds like an original concept, right? Rewarding people for achieving various in-game accomplishments on a console game? Well, this concept which first surfaced over 23 years ago on the Atari 2600!
Back in the "gaming stone age" (AKA the year 1982) Activision offered free cloth patches if you achieved a high score in any one of their games. Users were instructed to photograph their TV with the high score showing and mail it in and then Activision would send back a patch. Quite a bit of work in order to receive a piece of colored fabric, but it does mark the very first true "achievement" system for video games. In total there were 43 patches for 33 different games and the patch designs were quite varied and pretty damn cool.
So what made me think about this obscure past of gaming history. Well, just this past weekend I was at my parent's house poking around my old room when I came across my old Puma sweatshirt and my collection of Activision patches! Take a look at this bad boy! Doesn't it just reek of 80s nostalgia? Damn, I used to wear this thing everywhere, proudly showing off my various gaming achievements for the world to see. I think I should get an achievement for just having this blast from the past.
Anyone else still have their Activision patches? And how many did you manage to get in total?
What's that in the back of my closet? My old Puma sweatshirt, complete with Activision game patches? Score! Note the other relics of gaming history in the background as well.

"My Name is Earl" Shows Berzerk Some Love
What's going on with this week with video games and television shows? Last night World of Warcraft was a $1,000 answer on the college version of Jeopardy! Next Monday, the day before the Xbox 360 launches no less, CSI: Miami takes on video games with an episode labeled "Urban Hellraisers". The plot summary: "When a group of criminals play out a violent video game in real life, the CSIs must stop them before they strike again" ... yeah, that sounds about right.
But what really caught my attention was this past week's My Name is Earl in which Darnell is seen playing Berzerk on an Atari 2600! The dialog in the episode was as follows:
EARL: That's not a bad Berzerker score.
Now that's what I call classic TV!

Atari 2600 Game Code Visualized
Imagine you could take programming code and turn all the mathematical instructions into a graphical representation. Not only would this look cool but it could actually be useful in visualizing the code and how various elements work with one another. Media artist Ben Fry has done just this -- he took the assembly code of past Atari 2600 games and mapped their execution visually with surprising results.
Ben's transformation from binary code into a visual map is quite interesting. First Ben maps out the binary code of the cartridge itself using a series of numbers for lines of code and orange boxes for bytes of data. Then examines each line the code and the results of all conditional statements (i.e. if x is true, go to y). If the math results in a true statement a curve is drawn from that point to its destination. The end result is a elegant mix of curves and numbers.
What's really interesting to see how the programing varies by game. Extremely simple games, such as Combat, are light and airy. While complex games, such as Pac-Man, are a tangle of lines and curves. Unfortunately he only has six games on the site including Adventure, Air Raid, Combat, Pac-Man, Pitfall, and Q-Bert. But could you imagine what a modern game would look like mapped out using this method? Scary.

Video Game Maps Galore
The Internet is just an amazing place. Say you wanted to find a web site which does nothing but store and catalog maps from hundreds of video games throughout time? No problem! I managed to find not one but two web sites completely dedicated to just this one esoteric hobby.
First up we have VGMaps.com. Definitely not the prettiest site around, and the navigation is a bit confusing, but if you stick to the map directory you will find a treasure trove of map goodness! Nearly every console and computer system is represented on this site, you'll even find a few arcade games in there as well. Unfortunately, the quality of the maps are a bit spotty at times, but there are so many listed that you'll probably find something of interest.
Over at Ian Albert's Video Games Maps you'll find quality over quantity. Ian doesn't have a huge selection of game maps, but what he does have are painstakingly crafted works of art. Just a word of warning, many of these maps are quite large usually weighing in at a couple of megs each. But nothing compares to his Ultima 7 map, which is an insane 24,576×24,576 pixels in size and a 84 MB download. Now that's a map!

Atari M.U.L.E. Online!
M.U.L.E., a planetary-colonization/trading simulator that turned economic bartering into an adrenalized action-strategy mixture, was for years considered a lost classic of the 8-bit era. Happily, today's gamers can now re-experience this game verbatim - and now, with full online multiplayer capabilities.
M.U.L.E. has been available on modern systems through an Atari emulation. The downside was that you could only tap into multiplayer mode the way our forebears did: by cramming up to four people around a single machine. But now, thanks to the folks at Kaillera and Atari800WinPlus, up to four colonists can play M.U.L.E. with each other over the net with the new Atari M.U.L.E. Online package.
Fondly remembered for its addictive gameplay, tongue-in-cheek humor, and criminally catchy theme music, M.U.L.E. was a masterpiece crammed into a simple-but-ingenious interface. The premise was simple: up to four aliens were dropped on the planet Irata ("Atari" backwards), and granted one parcel of land per turn. Players could then purchase MULEs (Multiple Use Labor Elements - essentially multipurpose worker robots) and set them to work harvesting food, energy, smithore, or the invaluable crystite. Economic output was determined by player race (some were better for harvesting food, some for raising energy, and so on), land type, and happenstance. But it was after the production phase, during trading, where the real excitement kicked in. Players would attempt to hawk off excess goods, or buy or sell supplies like food or energy. Players who devoted their land towards mining might make a killing selling their valuable minerals - but then could be at the mercy of others who sold the food or energy they needed.
The bartering portion featured one of the most ingenious interfaces ever designed. Sellers stood at the top of the screen, and buyers at the bottom. Each could physically push a line towards the other end, which represented the price at which they'd be willing to buy or sell. When the two lines met, a transaction occurred. Not only did this perfectly illustrate the concepts of supply and demand in visual terms, but it turned the cerebral activity of economic trade into a visceral real-time experience. The spectacle of three players literally racing to push the "buy" line towards a seller sitting loftily at the top of the screen was one of the most entertaining and memorable aspects of gameplay.
A lot of old games are revered simply because of nostalgia, but M.U.L.E. deserves its reputation as a classic, and now new gamers can experience it firsthand, and better than before. Check it out - preferably when you have a lot of free time to kill.

Classic Video Game Music and Flyers Galore
Every day I spend a little time trolling the web to try and find uncovered gems for my loyal readers, and today I managed to hit the motherload in classic gaming goodness.
Daniel P. Hower's Coin-Op Video Games appears unassuming at first glance, but hidden in the site are not one but two undiscovered gems of classic video game history. First, Daniel has the largest selection of video game flyers I have ever seen with over 2,732 flyers on the site and more added every day.
These "flyers" were nothing more than sales brochures created by coin-op game manufacturers in order to promote their games and feature game screenshots, pictures of the gaming cabinets, descriptions of game play and concept art. Not only are all the flyers on the site in mint condition but Daniel has an extremely well-designed flyer database allowing for lighting fast flyer locating.
But if that wasn't awesome enough his second "treasure" is even more impressive. I'll let Daniel explain this one in his own words:
Back in 1982, my best friend had a Sony stereo walkman recorder. Audio was the conventional recording media back then and we recorded all kinds of stuff. One day we were on our way to the arcade 'Just Fun' in Ithaca, NY and came up with the idea to record video game sounds.The list of recorded arcade sounds is truly staggering ... it's practically a "who's who" of classic video games. Unfortunately Daniel was actually playing these games while he was recording, so they're not perfect copies. But ... who cares! Where else are you going to find recordings of Vanguard, Time Pilot, Venture, Phoenix, Gorf, Tron and hundreds upon hundreds of other games?
Daniel, I salute you! Check it out this site ... right now!

Use Atari 2600 Joysticks on your PC
For many the Atari 2600 joystick was their very first gaming controller and it holds a special place in their heart. Of course it only moved in eight directions, and it only had one button, and it put a horrible strain on your wrist, and it broke all the time, and if was difficult to use, and the rubber joystick made your hand sweat, and it didn't always work, but you loved it all the same.
Of course gaming technology has come a long way since then ... now our controllers have pressure sensitive analog buttons, shoulder pads, rumble packs, and no wires. But those of you who miss those earlier times when one button was all you needed to save the galaxy your prayers have been answered with the Stelladaptor.
The Stelladaptor is basically an Atari 2600 to USB adapter that will allow you to use standard Atari 2600 compatible controllers, including joysticks, paddles, and driving controllers, on your modern PC. It's compatible with Windows, Macintosh OS X, or Linux operating systems and requires no additional drivers to use. It's a bit pricey at $29.90 (not including shipping) but if you want to play your MAME emulated games using the "real deal" then this is what you need.
I am quite curious about that USB functionality. I wonder what would happen if I plugged that thing into my Xbox 360? Can you imagine trying to play Dead or Alive 4 using an Atari 2600 joystick? Of course, you could only kick with the one button, just like the old times...

Dried out leaves on Japanese Maple...HELP!!!
I just got my new bonsai on last Thursday and already the leaves are all dried out! I got it Thursday morning, watered it Friday before I left work, and came back after memorial day weekend to see my lovely plant have dried out leaves! The color is still green, but all dried out. I left it by the window, but not directly in the window. I just watered it though and removed it from near the window.
Please help!!! Is it dead? What should I do?
The prognosis depends on how dry it got. Maples have dormant buds that will produce new leaves if the primary ones are lost. Maple Bonsai have to live outdoors(semi-shade) in the summer and go through a dormant period(lower than 40o) in the winter. They aren't house plants and have to be grown like outdoor trees, which they are.I bought a tree from Washington state that got lost in transit in a box for two weeks. All the leaves burnt off but there was a little bit of moisture in the rootball so I soaked and potted it up, and it's starting to releaf. Chances are your tree had some moisture left in the roots, the leaves were probably more of a victim of indoor humidity especially if the tree came from a greenhouse.Get some Superthrive, it's a root stimulant,transplant shock reducer available at nurserys and soak your tree pot and all in a ten drop per gallon soloution for an hour or so. Put it outdoors in a protected shady area and keep it moist, but not soaking. If the tree was really healthy, you may want to consider cutting all the dead or dying leaves off, but this has to be done correctly so it would help if you read a little about leaf cutting or got someone that knew how to help before you did it. If the branches and twigs, especially the petioles at the base of the leaves don't shrivel and turn brown it probably will releaf. If you need any more help you can email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The tree indeed must be outdoors, and if it is in a bonsai pot you must pay particular attention to watering issues. In many respects a bonsai is more like a pet than a house plant. You would not or cannot leave a dog alone for a weekend without water and not expect to have a major problem when you get homw. The same would be true of a Maple in a bonsi pot.
That being said, put the tree outside in a semi-shaded area where it gets only morning sun. Water it when it starts to dry out but remember at this point water can be your enemy. To much and you will rot the root system, not enough and the tree has no chance of recovery if there is still life in it.
It will abandon all of the dried leaves, so don't look at the old leaves as a sign of life or death, they are Kaput regardless of what happens. What will happen now is that the tree will attempt to activate the dormants buds and produce a new flush of growth. This could take time and you may not see anything happening for at least another two weeks.
Vance Wood.
The same thing has happened to my bosai, I dont think mine is a maple though,I have a lot of big maples in my garden and it dosen't look anything like them. I thought bonsai were kept indoors.. mine would look strange in the garden as its so small. I live in Northern Ireland and its Winter, surley I couldnt put this tiny little tree outdoors.
The only bonsai kept indoors are tropical. Everything else needs to live outdoors, though there are certain subtropicals that need protection in winter and/or particular indoor conditions. You can't keep a tree that is naturally cold hardy to your climate (in other words normally lives outside there) in the house because without it's gradual autumn acclimation to cold dormancy in winter and the reverse in spring it will die. Size is irrelevant - all trees start out tiny. Can you post a picture of your tree with good close pix of the leaves or needles on the gallery of this forum (or use e.g. Photobucket and leave a link here) so we can identify it for you?
I live in Mn and many years ago I worked for a plant store. There was a local vender who sold his bonsais through us. The evergreen ones had to go through cold storage during winter months. He offered to, for a fee to over winter them in a cold frame green house..winters here are too cold to just put them outdoors. Of course most customers didn't want to bother so he didn't sell too many of those, also most customers didn't know this. He did sell some tropical ones also that didn't need cold dormancy but most people wanted the evergreen type of typical bonsai. He did have a few maples at times too but they need a cold dormancy, but not quite as prolonged or as low a temperature.

Configuring OpenCDISC Validator for External Dictionaries
MedDRA, SNOMED, and other external dictionaries can be added to your local installation so the OpenCDISC Validator can access them while running validations. Follow these instructions to enable validation against these dictionaries:
- Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) is commonly used for coding Adverse Events. Since MedDRA is only available through a commercial subscription, it's not included as part of OpenCDISC Validator distribution. Therefore, we have created this easy process by which you can add your company's licensed copy of MedDRA to OpenCDISC Validator.
- SNOMED CT is a comprehensive clinical terminology used for coding Trial Indication and Diagnosis Group in Trial Summary domain. Since all users of SNOMED need to have a valid license, it's not included as part of OpenCDISC Validator distribution.
Use the following instructions to enable your External Dictionaries. MedDRA is the example shown below, but you can replace this with SNOMED or any other dictionary you use:
- After successful installation of OpenCDISC Validator, navigate to the /components/config/data/MedDRA folder. This is where you will store MedDRA files to make them available to the Validator. Each version of MedDRA should be stored in a separate sub-folder (14.0, 14.1, etc.) as is shown below
- The next step is to locate your company's licensed copies of MedDRA. These are typically maintained by your IT department and are distributed in zip files. Here are the contents of a MedDRA v14.0 zip file
- Copy the contents of the MedAscii folder to [version] folder under MedDRA. In our example, we would copy the files into /components/config/data/MedDRA/17.0 folder as is show below
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each version of MedDRA you need to support
- The configuration is now complete, you are ready to validate data against MedDRA
Selecting MedDRA version for Validation
By default OpenCDISC Validator will use the MedDRA version specified in Define.xml for validation. For example
<CodeList OID="ExternalCodeList.AEBODSYS" Name="MedDRA Adverse Events Dictionary" DataType="text"> <ExternalCodeList Dictionary="MedDRA" Version="14.0"/> </CodeList>
However, if you don't have Define.xml or it doesn't specify a MedDRA version, you can now use a new MedDRA field available in the bottom right corner of the Validator screen (see below). The field will become visible once you configure at least one MedDRA version as described in the section above. Also, please note that MedDRA field cannot be used to override a version specified in Define.xml.
Using a MedDRA version with CLI (Command line Interface)
Using MedDRA with the OpenCDISC CLI is extremley simple. From the command line, include this parameter with a valid version of MedDRA based on the above examples.
For more information about using the command line, visit CLI usage in the documentation tab

Take time out of the routine.
It seems that more and more 30, 40 and 50 year-olds are keen to take time out from the the routine of life.
A catalyst for many has been the Boxing Day 2004 tsunami.
Says David Stitt, managing director of travel firm Real Gap Experience - which launches a Gap Year for Grown Ups programme on March 1: "Many people realised their lives were so comfortable compared to devastation on that scale."
Students fairly claim to have invented the gap year concept, but now the "oldies" are jumping aboard the same bandwagon. Although journalist Julie Burchill has announced she will take a year off to study theology, gap years for mature folk mainly mean an opportunity for long-haul travel they couldn't afford in their youth.
Among older people, the market divides between those spending pounds 2,000 on eight-week volunteer " placements, and those spending pounds 10,000 to go away for at least eight months.
"Some people rent their homes out or sell their cars to raise cash," says David.
"Among these older 'gappers', about 75% of travellers are female, very often in response to a major event like bereavement or divorce. They tend to travel alone, working with other volunteers when they reach their chosen projects.
"Many people wish to change their lives or do something really different, though they may have quite fulfilling careers."
A Mintel report estimates 520,000 Britons take a gap year trip abroad each year, of whom 90,000 are on career breaks and 200,000 are 55 and over.
Over-50s tour operator Saga is also launching a Volunteer Travel programme for travellers keen to work on local charity projects in South Africa, Thailand, India, Peru and Morocco.
Meanwhile, The One Live Life exhibition, at London's Olympia from March 3-5, will feature a Taking A Break zone for older gappers.
Among experts ready to advise on organising the mortgage and taking the children out of school are leading travel firms Lonely Planet, Raleigh International, African Conservation Experience, Geckos, Earth Watch Institute, Coral Cay Conservation and Intrepid Travel.
For more information, contact Real Gap Experience (01892 516 164)' Gap Gear for Grown Ups (01892 701 881 or visit www.gapyear for grownups.co.uk)' Saga Volunteer Travel, Saga Building, Enbrook Park, Folkestone, Kent CT20 3SE or volunteersaga.co.uk. One Life Live exhibition details are available on www.onelifelive.co.uk. Tickets pounds 10 in advance, pounds 13 on door.
Mind the gap
FOR would-be gappers still in work, the current issue of Holiday Which? magazine says they must persuade their bosses of the potential benefits of unpaid leave for breaks which can run to several months.
AGE NO LIMIT: Many adults are taking gap years to places such as Morocco

I Love going into the Fish Market and seeing all the fresh caught LOCAL fish. The case is filled with a great variety of what the Key West fishermen are catching that day! You can pick your own piece of fish to have cooked for a sandwich there. The crab cakes and lobster roll are wonderful, I love the shrimp salad. Try the smoked fish dip, it is a Key West specialty and I have tried it all over the island. This is by far and away the best rendition I have eaten. having grown up with a smokehouse in the backyard, it is a treat to be able to buy really great smoked fish. Take a minute to look at the small, eclectic wine, selection it is a great addition to the market!

Column - Black Friday was eye-opening
I'm not a big shopper but I decided to see for myself what Black Friday is all about.
I expected big crowds of eager bargain hunters - some of them, perhaps, a little too eager - along with some long lines and a little confusion.
I was blown away.

There are plenty of reasons to hate on Windows 8, but the biggest one is no doubt the new Start screen. A lot of us dislike how it replaces the old Start menu and appears like an uninvited guest at every bootup. Why isn't there an easy way to keep it out of sight?
Believe it or not, the next major version of Windows due out this year may address that. ZDNet's Mary-Jo Foley reports that Windows 8.1, a.k.a. Windows Blue, could let users boot straight to the desktop and bring back the Start menu.
The boot-to-desktop option is "now looking like the plan," according to one of Foley's sources, while the Start menu's resurrection is reportedly being considered. There's some additional evidence for the boot-to-desktop feature: according to WinBeta, a leaked build of Windows 8.1 has a variable called "twinui-CanSuppresssStartScreen." The Start menu's return seems less certain, although considering the sheer number of third-party Start menu add-ons for Windows 8, Microsoft would be foolish not to include the option.
I've learned to live with the Start screen since I upgraded to Windows 8 last October, but I sympathize with the haters. Modern UI doesn't really fit on a dual-monitor desktop workstation. There's something clunky and awkward about it, especially when you're navigating with a mouse and a scroll wheel instead of your fingers. Letting desktop users muzzle Modern UI would be a step in the right direction—one that could make Windows 8.1 more appropriate for businesses, too.
