Writer's Brock – "I bow only for the curtain call."
I began college a year early, having skipped sixth grade, but that never dissuaded me from believing I could tell the world how to act. So when a new friend asked me to direct his then unfinished play, I agreed to do so enthusiastically. It began on a drunken night at freshman orientation. My roommate… More
Writer's Brock – "The fun-house mirror of my reflections…"
Sing of songs, my muse, as if I might yet meet you and you might yet love me and we might make the art I cannot alone. I feel your purpose move through me, but its ends and means are proving to be a problem. My fantasy world is weighing on my shoulders, and I… More
Writer's Brock – "…I owe these distracting delusions to NELP"
There are periods of time that are supposed to change your whole life that invariably do, such as Freshman year at college or your wedding. One particular period changed me more than any other. It made me remake myself as a musician and songwriter. It made me realize that writing songs on demand is perhaps… More
Writer's Brock – "…just write something bad."
There was a while in the winter of 2002 – 2003 when I seemed to be unable to write at all. It didn't help the for forty days straight of temperatures below twenty degrees Fahrenheit. I never wanted to leave the old house for class, and got far behind in my work. What writing I… More
Writer's Brock – "The pen is mightier than the axe."
The whole of history can be summed up as attempts to impress women with varying degrees of success. Along these lines, I have made more headway as a would-be writer than as a would-be rocker. This never made sense to me. Weren't women supposed to go home with the star of the stage while the… More
Writer's Brock – "There is no truth in wine."
When I was seventeen I began to write in earnest, finishing a play and a screenplay. I would drink coffee and hard liquor in succession while writing. First I drank liquor until I got a bit woozy, and then I drank coffee until I got a bit jittery, and so went the spin cycle. In… More
Writer's Brock – "There is no incentive in insanity."
When composing this post, I found myself fumbling with different ideas, their angles poking into soft flesh as I turned them over and over. I would get a few sentences into my rant and then stop and erase its entirety. This, I believe, is because I must at this point share something rather stigmatized in… More
Writer's Brock – "…waiting to feel dreams, not word them."
Streaming consciousness into language can be like recollecting the plot of a dream. Details are filled in. Feelings cannot be explained. The actual experience in all its glory of being a human being does not transmit. When I write in stream of consciousness, I quiet myself enough to hear the inner monologue, and then follow… More
Writer's Brock – "I miss correct solutions still."
There are several divergences in my life where I made the decision to be an artist rather than any number of things. By artist I mean that I make different sorts of art, though a facility with words seems to be the blessing I use most. One choice where the whole world became a transistor… More
Writer's Brock – "One has to take to the air in order to crash."
I remember the first time I sat down to write a novel. I was twelve. I cranked out the first few dozen pages and then stopped. Not much has changed since then. I still start novels. Most of the time I get five or ten thousand words into them and stop. I am sometimes told I should write short… More

When should my grapes start changeing
I live in Mn zone 4 and its just about september and my grapes haven't started to change yet? It has been real hot this months with temps about 15 degrees over average and in the 90's. The vines seem to be healthy and some of the grapes have brown marks on the but look good and solid. We haven't had any rain for about 3 weeks in my area but grapes seem to be doing good and we have clay soil for the most part which does hold water better than most soils. Will they start to change once the temps start to drop? Please let me know so I don' worry about them so much and this is in a back yard.
Thanks Dave
Grapes need warm weather to ripen to best quality. It won't help to cool off like some fruits. Mine probably need 4-6 weeks of 90F weather after starting to change color. So if they haven't changed color yet they better soon.
Are you sure the varieties you have will ripen in your climate?
I've been reading info on grapes and can you have to many grapes on one plant ? I have 3 mature ones that have been there for over 10 years and this is the only year so far that they haven't changed. I did more pruning this year than most so the grapes are generally bigger this year. I called the local wineries and they say theirs have all turned already. Anyone have a answer to my problem or will God take care of them is his time.
My Concords are the size of very large marbles and hard as rocks. I have about 25 good sized clusters, but they are not turning purple yet. It this normal? I've been to every Concord (growing grapes site) and no one seems to discuss ripening times (averages) per zone. Thanks Mrs. G

He has covered the Minnesota Wild for the Star Tribune since 2005, after 10 years of covering the Florida Panthers for the Sun-Sentinel. He uses "Russo's Rants" to feed a wide-ranging hockey-centric discussion with readers, and can be heard weekly on KFAN (100.3 FM) radio and seen weekly on Fox Sports North.
Also find Russo on Facebook.
Email Michael to talk about hockey.
Rachel B here, sitting in for Russo, who managed to miss this morning's snow. In a stroke of magnificent timing, he stayed in Florida. I'm hoping he doesn't blog/tweet any more of those beach photos. That's just piling on.
Mike Yeo said he was looking forward to a much-needed practice Monday at Xcel. The Wild stayed on the ice for an hour, giving particular attention to special teams and three-on-three play around the net in a highly focused session. Nearly everyone spent extra time after practice to work on shooting, too.
Yeo reconfigured his lines again, going back to the combinations used for five games before Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss at Florida. Jason Pominville moved back to the second line with Dany Heatley and Mikael Granlund, while Nino Niederreiter shifted back to the top line with Mikko Koivu and Zach Parise. Third and fourth lines remain the same: Matt Cooke-Kyle Brodziak-Justin Fontaine and Stephane Veilleux-Zenon Konopka-Torrey Mitchell.
Yeo said the Wild had the most success with those combos, and he didn't want to focus so much on jump-starting the dormant second line that he risked spoiling the chemistry developing on the others. "You have to look at what it's doing to the rest of the group when we're breaking guys apart,'' he said. "We've seen Mikko, Zach and Nino have some success together, and we saw (Cooke, Brodziak and Fontaine) have success together. Obviously, the parts are there for the rest of the group to be successful, too.''
Parise was glad to get in some practice on play around the net. That, he said, has been perhaps the Wild's biggest failing as it has scored a measly 19 goals in nine games. Yeo said his team has to have "an attack mentality,'' which Parise echoed.
"We have to get better at getting the puck to the net and getting guys around there,'' said Parise, who got 21 shots on the recent four-game road trip and did not score on any. "Right now, we've just got our guy in the high slot waiting for a one-timer, and our other guys on the outside. That's not how you score. We need to get some guys going through the middle and getting around the net, kind of penetrating their defense. I don't think we're doing a good enough job of that.''
Parise also wants to see the Wild be a little more aggressive on its penalty kill, which is ranked second to last in the NHL. The Wild has surrendered more than one power-play goal per game (10 goals in nine games); as Parise pointed out, that's made all the difference. Despite the team's frustration, he urged his teammates to stay relaxed.
"I think everyone's all uptight because we haven't scored a lot lately,'' he said. "Everyone's thinking about it. Everyone goes home thinking about it. You get to the rink, and everyone asks you about it. I think we've just got to relax a little bit. We'll be fine.''
Other notes from today's practice:
--Yeo didn't reveal who will start in goal against Nashville on Tuesday, but it sure sounded like he's sticking with Josh Harding. Harding has given up seven goals in seven games while facing 134 shots.
The coach acknowledged that it's important to make sure both Harding and Niklas Backstrom are ready to play and confident in their games, but winning is the only thing that matters right now. "The bottom line is,'' Yeo said, "the decision has to be made based on what we think for that given night, what's going to give us the best chance to win the game.''
Backstrom said Monday he feels good and anticipates being fully healthy within a couple of days.
--Defenseman Keith Ballard did not skate Monday. He has not played in three games since he was hit in the face by a puck in the Wild's 2-1 victory at Buffalo a week ago. Ballard came out for Saturday's morning skate in Florida but left the ice because he didn't feel well.
"We tried getting him on the ice,'' Yeo said. "So let's just hold him off for a couple of days and see what happens.''
Ballard's absence, Yeo said, will create opportunity for someone. As of Monday, he hadn't settled on the six defensemen who will play Tuesday, and he said Nate Prosser could crack the lineup. Prosser has played only one game this season.
--Winger Mike Rupp is almost ready to go. He's participating fully in practice, but Yeo said Rupp needs "to get another gear into his game.''
A reminder: If you want an up-close and personal look at the undoubtedly well-tanned Mike Russo, you'll have your chance Thursday. Russo and Wes Walz will do a pregame "chalk talk'' before the Wild-Carolina game. Tickets start at $28 and include a game ticket, as well as the chance to meet/chat/get autographs. The one-hour session begins 90 minutes before the game.

Collection, Collection Highlights Published Collections, Christmas, First World War
The sending of a traditional Christmas card has diminished in popularity with the advent of mobile phones, email and social media. The Australian War Memorial has a large collection of postcards and greeting cards sent to and from Australian service personnel engaged in conflicts from the South African War (1898 – 1902) to Afghanistan (2001 – present). During the First World War, a very popular design of greeting card was the woven or embroidered silk postcard.

This year an excellent set of 12 photographs of Xena, an Explosive Detection Dog (EDD), was donated to the Memorial. Following an inauspicious start to life in the military, Xena proved her true worth serving in Afghanistan. A Malinois (Belgian Shepherd), Xena was the runt of the litter in an RAAF breeding program. Deemed too timid to have a future as an attack dog, her future was uncertain. She was allocated to a trainer, however her high energy levels created havoc and her next transfer was to the pound.

As challenging as the college-dating scene may seem, many people do meet and enter into a long-term relationship during their college years. We all know the story of how Kate Middleton lucked out when she met her future husband, Prince William, in college. Their relationship stayed strong throughout school and resulted in one of the most talked about weddings of the decade.
Of course, not everyone finds their Prince Charming on campus, but there are plenty of ways to leverage your chances of meeting the right guy while you're busy shuffling off to class, eating a bowl of cereal in the cafeteria or watching the school's basketball team take it to the finals.
Here are a few tips to study up on:
Discovering Non-Intimidating Techniques
If there's someone in your class or on your campus that you're interested in, find natural ways to let them know. There's more to introducing yourself than a simple "hello." Strike up a conversation about your class assignment or homework, and once the discussion gets rolling, ask if they want to get together for a study session. Be specific about making plans; don't just say it rhetorically. Ask them to get together that night or the following night. For young women who aren't used to being assertive in dating situations, this technique is a non-intimidating way to get to know someone.
Sending Clear Messages
Many college students date more than one person at a time. In fact, it's a part of the college experience for many young people. When you're dating a guy at school, make sure there's open communication about what he wants, what you want and where the relationship is headed. Many women tend to avoid "the talk" out of fear that the relationship will end if they say anything. But a person's intentions are usually staring us in the face; it's just a matter of whether or not we choose to accept them. By being clear with the person you're dating, it can save a lot of wasted time with the wrong person and open the door for someone new and serious to come into your life. If you're not sure what you want, that's okay. Just know that if you're open and honest with the guy that you're dating, it'll save you headaches and maybe a broken heart later.
Setting Priorities
Of course, you're in college to earn your degree, so that should be your first priority. However, learning to balance a relationship with your school work can actually make you better at work/life balance once you leave college. For now, concentrating on your classes should be at the top of your list, so if you're in a situation where your relationship or dating life is monopolizing your time, it's probably best to step back a bit and reassess things.
Dating while you're in school can be a lot of fun and can be a chance to meet new people and decide what you want in a long-term relationship for the future.

Need Suggestions
I have a new area in front of our house I am thinking about putting a Hydrangea in.
I have been researching different varieties, but am still unsure of which would fit in the best.
My choices were
'Little Lamb' it can get 4-6' high and 6' wide, but it's supposed to be for smaller areas?
'Blushing Bride' (not even sure of it's hardiness here)
gets 3-5' high and 3' wide. Is it more upright or what?
'Quick Fire' 4-6' high and wide
Anyone grow any of these and any comments or thoughts on them?
I will be putting it on the north side of the house. It will get some morning sun, then shade, then sun late in the afternoon.
QF is a 'full size' paniculata, expect it to be in 8'+ range, but as Luis said it could be pruned (yearly!) to desired size.
LLamb...I'm puzzled myself about her size. Bought it from a reputable source to make sure it's not a mislabeled young PG. It was staying in 3-4' range for two years and produced smaller size blooms how it suppose to do, but this year it threw several 5-6' tall canes with huge panicles, absolutely identical to the growing near by PG.
BBride is completely different animal than other two. It's macrophilla and should be planted in z5 at your own risk (read reviews about BB on this board). Based on my observations it will be rather 5x5 than 3x3 plant, but in your climate you might have diebacks that will keep her on a smaller side.
Sunwise, as you describe the location, it would be ideal place for BB and less so for paniculatas which doesn't mean that they'll not perform well there. They might if they'll receive enough light.

Tasmania's commitment to farm-to-table principles has earned it a spot on the world's culinary map. On the eastern coast, at the just-opened Saffire (doubles from $1,550, all-inclusive), Aussie chef Hugh Whitehouse is pushing the envelope with food-immersion programs that take you directly to the source. Tag along with him to the nearby Freycinet Marine Farm to harvest Pacific oysters or pick local mushrooms. Also on offer: a private wine tasting at the Derwent Estate and a hands-on rock lobster cooking class right in your glass-walled suite overlooking the ocean.

How To Be Prolific: Guidelines For Getting It Done From Joss Whedon
The writer-producer-director who made Much Ado About Nothing while editing The Avengers, and who'll return to TV this fall with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., knows a bit about "getting things done." In fact, he cites David Allen's book of that title as an important guide—even if he never finished reading it.
Note: This article is also included in our year-end creative wisdom round-up.
Few people get things done in as consistent and impressive a fashion as Joss Whedon. His Avengers was the rare superhero movie to break box office records as it garnered critical acclaim. And while he was editing that Marvel-Disney monster, he secretly shot a version of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing at his own house with friends from many of his previous movie and TV projects, including Clark Gregg (The Avengers), Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Amy Acker (Dollhouse), Fran Kranz (A Cabin in the Woods), and Alexis Denisof (Buffy). Meanwhile, he's the man behind the much-anticipated Marvel TV series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., also starring Gregg.
As Much Ado hit theaters and kicked indie-film ass, Whedon sat down with Co.Create to lay out how he manages to juggle so many projects. His secret? Identifying concrete steps, friends, and tough love.
In other words, get specific. When I asked Whedon to share some tips for being prolific, he had one question: "So do you want to go macro or micro?" I chose micro. Here's what he said:
"Micro is about the moment and it's about having an idea, or having writer's block and just trying to get through those moments. For me, it boils down to specificity, knowing exactly what I'm trying to accomplish, because if I have three projects, it's 'Oh, maybe I'll work on S.H.I.E.L.D. or maybe I'll work on this or this.' You know, it's so easy to just get nothing done, but you've got to rock a little David Allen out to be able to get things done and break your list down into next actions. And this is true of producing and directing but even of writing. It's like, 'Okay, today I am going to figure out this action sequence. Today, I am going to watch a shit ton of other action sequences,' whatever it is, but that would be the other side of it after the specificity of knowing. Don't just say, 'Oh, I need to work on that.' Say, 'I need to work on this element of that.' Absolutely eat dessert first. The thing that you want to do the most, do that."
So, surprisingly, Whedon advises getting the fun stuff done first. "Some people will disagree, but for me if I've written a meaty, delightful, wonderful bunch of scenes and now I have to do the hard, connective, dog's body work of writing, when I finish the dog's body work, I'll have a screenplay that I already love. I used to write chronologically when I started, from beginning to end. Eventually I went, That's absurd; my heart is in this one scene, therefore I must follow it. Obviously, if you know you have a bunch of stuff to do, I have to lay out this, all this dull stuff, and I feel very uncreative but the clock is ticking. Then you do that and you choose to do that. But I always believe in just have as much fun as you can so that when you're in the part that you hate there's a light at the end of the tunnel, that you're close to finished."
I cut in, asking if he's read David Allen's book, Getting Things Done. "I did not get that done," Whedon says, with a straight face. "I told him, actually, because he did a little talk at someone's house and I did tell him, 'You should write a second book called Finishing This Book.' But it has been enormously helpful, even in the baby steps version that I embrace. I still use the phrases." Such as? "'Next actions' is one of the most important things that you can say in any endeavor."
Whedon has acknowledged the ironic fact that he hasn't finished Getting Things Done. And he has mentioned eating dessert first. So I must ask, "Is dessert a metaphor?"
"No," he replies. "No, I'm saying give me cake. Why didn't you bring cake? Didn't they explain how these things work?" And then he gets serious, more or less. "I have a reward system. I am the monkey with the pellet and it's so bad that I write almost everything in restaurants or cafes [so] that when I have an idea, I go and get chocolate." He doesn't wait to flesh out the idea and then reward himself, he rewards himself simply for having the idea. "I'll write it down and then get some chocolate. I have the idea, I get my pellet . . . I mean I'm terrible. I don't put that on the list because that's not advice. That's something I'm seeking help for. It's a vice and it's different than advice."
Oh, come on, you're obviously making it work.
"But I could be better. I can make it work better and I'm trying to teach myself more discipline because when you have children and you are an artist, you already have more than fills a day. I would also like to have friends, hobbies, maybe read a book sometime."
"The last piece of advice on that level is fill the tanks, fill the tanks, fill the tanks. Constantly watch things and things you don't [normally watch]. Step outside your viewing zone, your reading zone. It's all fodder but if you only take from one thing then it'll show."
For example?
"I read The Killer Angels. It's a very detailed, extraordinarily compelling account of the Battle of Gettysburg from the point of view of various people in it and it's historical. It's historically completely accurate, and the moment I put it down I created Firefly, because I was like, 'I need to tell this story. I need to feel this immediacy. I so connect with that era, the Western and how tactile everything is and how every decision is life or death, and how hard it is and how just rich it is, and how all the characters are just so fascinating.' But so I should be on the Millennium Falcon. Now, if I only watched sci-fi I would have just had the Millennium Falcon part, which has already been done, but finding that historical texture, it literally, I put the book down and started writing Firefly. And that was my vacation from Buffy, which was two weeks. I got two weeks every year, and in that vacation I read, in 14 days, 10 books. My wife and I saw like nine plays, and that's all we did. We just filled the tanks.
I ask about the melding of social and work that he seems to have mastered with his friends (Much Ado grew out of Shakespeare readings at his house). "For me that's almost always necessary. I mean, obviously I've hung out with the Much Ado crew and they've become closer to me than I could have imagined, but the way I see people is by saying, 'Come over and we'll read Shakespeare. Come over and we'll film Shakespeare.' I need some kind of end. I like there to be a point. I was never a games night guy, but at some point social interaction starts to freak me out. So when there's a point, it's easier for me to see the people I love and hang out and try to have fun.
"The Shakespeare readings affected what happened on the shows I was doing, because I saw things from my actors that I didn't know they could do, and I was like, 'If I know you can do it, everybody else should know it, too. It's going to go in the show.' And so it's not like I'm mining my friendships for content. I love hanging out with these people, but . . . we have a circle of everybody feeding everybody else and then something else comes up and you go, 'Oh, they can do that,' or they put something in your ear about this. To have that flow of creativity within a friendship so that it feels like it's spiraling upward and not just circling. It's not just like, 'And we meet and we play fantasy football, and then one day we're old.'
"I always enjoy conversation more if there is some substance to it—which is a just incredibly hilarious thing for me to say because for many, many years I was the guy whose only contribution to any conversation was, 'There was a funny Simpson's joke about that.' But I'm trying to evolve from that. I mean, just having a silly time and laughing your butt off is . . . don't get me wrong, I'll take it, but yeah, I have a problem with pointlessness."
"This comes from Kai, my wife, who produced the film. She [quotes from] Rio Grande: 'Get it done, Johnny Reb.' It's like, don't make excuses. There aren't any anymore. If you're talking about it, you should be doing it and she doesn't like to see talent go fallow. She doesn't like to see people repeat themselves. She likes people to get it done, purely out of love of the person and then joy for the product itself. And that's the thing: I talked about Much Ado for 10 years and it was Kai who finally said, 'What if instead of talking about it . . . ' and I went, 'What?' Someone will always tell you that you can't. One of the things that she delighted in was the fact that, apart from telling the people at Marvel so that they didn't freak out when they found out that I was directing another movie [while we were in postproduction on The Avengers], we really didn't tell anybody. It was just our little thing. There's an old thing they say: Writers never tell somebody what you're writing because then you won't write it down, and it's kind of applied to the production in a way. If we let this get out and balloon into something that mattered to anybody besides us, we might not finish it.
"We accomplished it, like, instantly. We shot it a month after I wrapped the other movie. We shot it in 12 days, and the moment I said, 'We're done. That's a wrap,' I turned to Danny Kaminsky and I was like, 'Drop the one sheet and, Nathan [Fillion], tweet it.' We had that kind of immediacy with Dr. Horrible and that's what made Kai and I start [our production company] Bellwether, to do these smaller things, to get the middle of the process out, to eliminate the middle man. Yes, admittedly (there were) 10 years of me going, 'I really should do that,' but that's my issue. Once it was go time, there was nothing between us and the art, and that's the place you want to put yourself in. And you get people like (actor-writer-comics Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher), who are younger and are content creators; they know that. They do it for themselves. Later on, they'll be able to do it for somebody else and get paid more, but this generation is not waiting for someone to read their spec script, and I love that."

" I need some kind of end. I like there to be a point."
This statement by Whedon sums up why I believe that his prematurely canceled series "Firefly" ended up being such a success. Unlike most successful series that have a beginning, middle but no end due to financial success, "Firefly" had a complete arc within 14 episodes and a final movie that provided closure.
Yes, both fans and Whedon decried the early cancellation but it would have been worse if the series had continued a few seasons and then petered out to be forgotten like so many other promising series. Now "Firelfy" will live forever.

"Step outside your viewing zone, your reading zone." One thing stands out. Josh Whedon wants to grow, expand, and breakthrough. His mentality reminds me of Elon Musk. What a great piece of writing and inspiring story. I now know how to be prolific.
"Someone will always tell you that you can't." What if many people tell you that you can, encourage and support you, but Fate tells you that you CAN'T? I am having a lot of trouble getting past Fate telling me "No"...
"It's like, don't make excuses." But there ARE. Physical, logistical reasons why one physically or financially can't achieve something. So. How do I deal with that?
Go back to the part where he says, "What's next?" Make micro decisions. Be flexible. If you can't write for an hour, write for 10 minutes. Whatever you can fit in. I have very little writing time so I talk to myself on my commute and dictate it all on my phone and then play it back when I get time. I write on the road. Start with the old adage "baby steps". You'll get there. Don't give up, just keep giving it something.
Eat the dessert first. Brilliant. Yes. I'm going to write my favorite scenes first and reward myself with chocolate. I'm also going to stop talking about projects and just do them. Thanks for this. Awesome.
The Scots http://sahabatpoker.com/ conifer Pinus sylvestris is a familiar tree to some fill and erstwhile crusty enthusiastic areas of the Scots Highlands where along with the birken perfected the erstwhile mighty Caledonian set.

Nice info http://www.fokuspoker.com/ | http://dewakartu.net/
Another fantastic article. I am continually impressed with the subjects and writing that Fast Company has to offer.
Keep up the good work.
Jesus, I'm exhausted just reading this article. I agree that to get things done you've got to actually do them, but as a creative person, I take some pride in my ability to stop and observe as well. Maybe that's just me. That said, I'm a parent, and I work a regular job, and had to go to the mountains to get away from everyone to finish my first novel (Minor King - due later this year.)
Really nice article.

I agree gettting after it is the most imortant part, Gary Keller of Keller Williams says to focus on the one next thing that has made some much of difference for me as there is norammly only one next thing, do that then go onto the next, cool article, now I will shoot that dinner party film I have been talking about for 8 years.
Not sure if this comment is typical ESL (english-as-a-second-language) syntax, or an indictment of our educational system. (I can't even fully understand the point you were trying to make!)
How to be prolifically mediocre, I guess.
Define mediocrity.
If you mean, "Only a minority of people like it," clearly not mediocre. If you mean, "Lacking in any truly impressive traits," clearly not mediocre. If you mean, "Not obtaining substantial financial success," clearly not mediocre. If you mean, "Not receiving positive critical response," clearly not mediocre.
What you seem to mean is "Stuff I don't particularly care for." Which is fine, but it ain't much of a criticism.
I disagree, but even if I concede your point, I'd still rather be prolific in writing/directing mediocre films than prolific in writing below average comments. Here's hoping that you at least have the quantity down.

text: The Sulphur Springs Radio Shack store will be one of about 1,100 of the electronics retail stores that will be closed as the company struggles with declining sales and revenues. The local store is set to close March 31, according to local store manager Josh McPherson. McPherson said he did not know what the future would hold for the local store employees, but he said he has received a couple of job offers. Radio Shack does not include stores in Greenville, Mount Pleasant or Paris in the list of stores to be closed, but does includes the Broadway Square Mall store in Tyler. Radio Shack Chief Executive Officer Joseph Magnacca, in a message to investors, said closings will leave more than 4,000 stores open, including 900 franchise stores. The electronics retailer has more than 5,200 stores in the United States while Wal-Mart has 3,700 and Radio Shack's major competitor, Best Buy, has 1,400 outlets.

A lot of games could be classified art, after all games are a mixture of all the mediums we celebrate today, music, art itself, acting, and so forth. Ōkami was one of those games that always stuck with me with its vibrant world and colorful characters that truly made that argument for games as art point valid.

A Stroke of Genius 0
Okamiden is a fitting tribute to the end of the much-beloved Nintendo DS. Arguably the system's swan-song, the game is an example of what is possible near the end of a device's lifecycle. Packed inside its cartridge is a sprawling adventure lasting more than twenty hours in a fully realized, beautifully cel-shaded, 3D world. The title is an apt Japanese pun combining the name Okami with the word "Gaiden" meaning side-story. While Okamiden works well as an addendum to the original tale of Amatera...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.
Okamiden 0
I think Capcom would have been better off making a straight sequel to Okami. The concept of Okamiden as a handheld companion to the original game, taking place in many of the same areas but putting twists on them and telling a sort of tangential story is fine. But it took me over twenty hours to beat and has sections that can for many minutes without save points, which is sort of ridiculous for a handheld game. The game's reach exceeds the intended scope of a portable experience and if an...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
A worthy successor to revered classic 0
If I were to summarize Okamiden in one word, it would be familiar. The reason being because it's heavy with references to and reuses locations from Okami, its predecessor. The entire game-world and its inhabitants are all instantly recognizable (assuming you've played the first game), and its gameplay unaltered. Okamiden therefore creates a very cozy atmosphere for fans in this sequel; one that doesn't alienate newcomers, at that.

Two persons were killed and six injured in a group clash on Sunday night over a dispute about right to perform pujas at Sri Nanjundeswarar Temple at Nanjanad, a Badaga village near here.
The standoff over the right to perform pujas has been there since 1987.
The deaths led to the torching of some houses in retaliation. Twenty-one persons were arrested in connection with the attack. Prohibitory orders are in force in the village.
In May 1988, the Revenue Divisional Officer of Coonoor had put in place an arrangement by which both the groups could perform pujas at different times in the morning and evening. The smaller group then moved the High Court, for a solution. The court had ruled that the arrangement of the revenue authorities should be followed till the two groups solved the problem.
Police sources told The Hindu that when a meeting of the group that moved the court was in progress in a building around midnight, Anand (33) and Ravichandran (45) of the group that opposed the court order had gone there. After an exchange of words, the two were allegedly hit on the head with brass lamps. They died on way to hospital. Those who rushed to the spot on hearing the commotion were also assaulted. As word spread, many houses belonging to the smaller group were damaged and a few of them were set ablaze.

Only tried the take away but it was very good. Tasty and large portions. I ordered grade 2, but it was not to hot.
Really good food in large portions. Nice and fast service. I also like the fact that the 'hot' dishes are in fact really hot.
Don't care much for the lunchtime buffet though; it's well worth its price, but the quality of the food is much, much better in the evening. Try one of the satay dishes: the satay sauce is...
You always feels like you are so very welcome and no different if you come for lunch or dinner. The service are always excellent and the food taste so good. They're very childfriendly and make room for everyone.
We had been recommended the restaurant and did not regret our visit. The service was very attentive by several young vietnamese waitresses. We ordered 2 dishes and 1 desert (to share): Pineapple chicken in sweet and sour sauce and Crispy pork in Thai chili sauce. As desert: Coconut flakes wrapped in pandanus crepe.

Went for a romantic dinner with wife but while the service was nice and location was ok, the prawns on a hot plate came with their poo strings still attached. Sad to say, this was not what we expected from a place like this and while the staff kindly offered replacements, the hunger was gone.
Clean and tidy, good food and excellent service. A good everyday restaurant that won't disappoint you. Child-friendly.
Always a smile, always a really good service. Fantastic food, especially the green curry with chicken. It's a bit spicy but a trip for your mouth that you won't forget in a near future.
The staff is great and there's never a problem if you need something special or have any concern about the food.

I believe that info is from the previous owner, but where is it stored? I'm guessing the tab is getting it from the network even though there is no sim card in it to authenticate it which doesn't make sense. Removing all Sprint related stuff does nothing. I tried wiping the whole tablet and flashing a beta CarbonRom that was in the forums and the info still shows up in the about device status. I flashed back to stock rooted. Only difference is that android 4.2.2 has the username option while kit kat doesn't. Since I had made a complete backup of the tablet, I wiped the efs partition just for the heck of it and rebooted. Interestingly enough it removed the Sprint boot animations and replaced them with stock Samsung ones. Folder was recreated by android. Everything else is still the same. I was expecting the tab not to connect to anything anymore but I guess not. For all the doom and gloom that is said about wiping the efs partition, I was a bit surprised that it didn't absolutely nothing. There wasn't even a nv_data.bin file in it (although my S3 is also missing this file for some reason too.)
Any suggestions? I was thinking about trying to contact the person that sold it me, maybe he hasn't taken the tab off his account yet or something. If anything I can just keep airplane mode on with wifi enabled, still wondering how the tab is getting that info. I'd rather not have anything of the previous owner on it.

Immigration: Dream First, and Compromise Later
The bipartisan immigration package put forward by the Gang of Eight looks like a reasonable bill, but it likely won't become law, and it probably shouldn't.
The 844-page bill would provide a path to citizenship to illegal immigrants who have no serious criminal record, pay $2,000 in fines and are paid up on their taxes. Though the law would confer registered provisional immigrant status to qualified immigrants immediately, it would make them wait 10 years to apply for a green card, and then they could go for citizenship. That 13-year process, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has asserted, would mean that illegal immigrants would not become citizens before legal immigrants who played by all the rules.
"This is not amnesty," Rubio told "Fox News Sunday." "Amnesty is the forgiveness of something. Amnesty is anything that says, 'Do it illegally; it'll be cheaper and easier.'"
Why is it likely to fail? On the left, critics complain that the package presents too many hoops. The New York Times editorialized against the measure's exclusion of felons and those convicted of three or more misdemeanors and other disqualifiers. "It should not take superhuman strength and rectitude, plus luck and lots of money, for an immigrant to march the 10 years to a green card," the Gray Lady opined.
There will be a lot of pressure on Democrats to water down the package.
On the right, the compromise must overcome skepticism and hostility. Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, quickly panned the bill. "Despite assurances, the border is not secured before almost everyone in the country illegally is given amnesty. The bill guarantees there will be a rush across the border to take advantage of massive amnesty," he said in a statement.
The number of illegal immigrants apprehended at the border this year is up 13 percent, according to U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Fisher. The catalyst could be an improved economy, or it could be a magnet effect of the chance to be legal. (The bill would apply only to those who have resided in the United States since before Dec. 31, 2011, but how many Americans know that?)
Opponent Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies told me that even he is open to legalizing illegal immigrants with jobs and clean records, but "these guys need to earn the right to ask for an amnesty. I don't mean the illegal aliens; I mean the politicians."
It's hard to trust that Washington would enforce a new law, after President Barack Obama has shown a willingness to ignore existing law. He condones sanctuary cities that won't cooperate with immigration officials. Last year, he decided that 800,000 illegal immigrants who came here before they were 16 could enjoy legal status. The constitutionality of that move was dubious, and the president knew it, but it was an election year.
Instead, Obama should have pushed Congress to pass the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, which would provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children. It's an issue of simple fairness. Children are not responsible for their parents' decision to flout immigration law. They shouldn't be punished for their parents' actions.
Standing alone, the DREAM Act probably could survive a floor vote in both the Democratic Senate and the GOP House. Let Washington start with a measure that doesn't require voters to trust Washington.

Sebastian's IBS
Some of you will remember my posts regarding my male Siamese cat, Sebastian. He had giardia, possibly IBS among other things. We treated his IBS with Royal Canin Rabbit but he did not improve. I switched him to Nature's Varitey Instinct Rabbit Formula. Within a week or two Nature's Varitey had a shortage of rabbit. The product could not be found - anywhere in the USA. We switched to Instinct Lamb. I wanted to give Instinct a try because it's grain and gluten free...and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. By the way, we're using the canned food. Every other day, I add a little pumpkin to his diet. He likes it. It a treat he otherwise would not get to have. Good news. We've been using Instinct Lamb for about 6 weeks or more. Sebastian's bowel movements are still wet, but he is at least able to control his movements. He no longer has bad gas and no longer goes outside the litter box. Knock on wood. I have been dealing with this issue for over a year. I am hopeful that we've rounded the corner and that his health will continue to improve. While I doubt his BM's will ever be normal, Sebastian's health is the best it has ever been. He is playful and energetic.
It's great to read Sebastian is finally starting to feel better. Nature's Variety was the food that helped my cat, too. They used to make a dry Lamb and Oatmeal and for whatever it did/didn't have my cat got better (same issues you had). The other flavors didn't work. They've since discontinued it but a couple of years had gone by and she can tolerate the Buffalo Blue brand now. I also gave her the canned Lamb. There's 2 kinds of canned Lamb and one worked better than the other. I really suspect my cat may have had TriTrich even though I treated her for it. I read a million message boards that said the symptoms go away after a couple of years. I know it's been a long battle for you and poor Sebastian. I felt so sorry for my cat having diarrhea like that. You must be very relieved!

Wings goalie Chris Osgood during Sunday's loss. / KIRTHMON F. DOZIER/DFP
A game-winner on a coast-to-coast play from a defenseman who contributed five goals in the regular season?
Those lucky, lucky Ducks.
Let's just put that out there -- the Ducks are lucky to be going back to Los Angeles with a 1-1 second-round series tie with the Red Wings.
But here's the real question: Should Wings faithful be worried?
After all, can't luck define playoff success as much as hard hitting and offensive power and hot goaltending?
That's what I wondered after the Wings' 4-3 triple-overtime loss on Sunday.
It wasn't that the Wings badly outplayed the Ducks, though they did for much of the game.
But that's playoff hockey. You can outplay someone for period after period after period, and then the other team can go home winners on a fluke goal from Todd Marchant. As he said himself: "Not many games get decided off my stick thats for sure.
Or maybe I've overstating the role of luck. Consider Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller. There isn't much luck involved in stopping 59 of 62 shots, right?
The Los Angeles Times put it this way: Hiller was Giguerean. There's no better term.
Few things are worse to hear if youre a Red Wings fan.
Then there are these troubling facts: The Ducks have never won a series after losing the first two games. And theyve never lost a series tied 1-1.
And here's something to remember when the series returns to Detroit for Game 5: The Ducks are 5-2 in the playoffs at Joe Louis Arena since 2003.
That can't be all luck, can it?
The Hockey News says that Anaheim now has a template to beat Detroit. What is it exactly? Get outplayed, outshot and outhit for most of the game but survive anyway?
No. They see it as being patient and disciplined. They don't mention the four-letter word.
The thing is, more than in any other sport, being lucky can actually get you places in the Stanley Cup playoffs, as the Ducks remember from 2007.
Then again, luck isn't everything. Sometimes the better team does win.
And that's what will happen this time, according to the Denver Post, which says today that the Wings will pick up another Stanley Cup next month.
The paper says it wont even be close.
And yes, this was after watching Game 2.
They compare the playoff tests coming for the Wings to Bill Gates taking an algebra exam. A final passing grade is assured.
So if the Wings are Bill Gates in math class, I suppose the Ducks are the C+ student who randomly fills in the bubbles. Let's just hope this time they don't luck out and set the curve.

Please can someone help me. I successfully unlocked bootloader, rooted and updated my Xperia SP to DoomLord's leaked 4.3 ROM, however, something has gone very very wrong. It was working absolutely fine until today when I restarted my phone and it comes up with the Sony logo, Xperia logo and whilst it is booting with the colour stripes, it freezes and reboots. It keeps doing this loop. I can no longer enter CWM nor can I enter fastboot mode. It can go into flashboot mode but not for long enough to do anything with.
Please please please can somebody advise me.
