Week two of the preseason has come and gone...and it left us wanting more. This must be how people in Wisconsin feel when they try deep fried food for the first time. (hey-oh!)
The excitement around this Vikings team, two weeks in to the preseason, is unmistakable. For the first time in years, the number of (legitimately) excited fans, extremely outweigh those that are pooh pooh'ers. It's a great feeling. Fans in Minnesota have been waiting for this feeling for a long time.
That said, if you're a Minnesota fan, you should know by now that getting too excited can be awfully dangerous. So let's take a deep breath, hold hands, count to ten, and hum this phrase together:
"It's only preseason…it's only preseason…"
Look, I get it. While humming this gentle reminder out loud, the Purple guy on your right shoulder, who is holding the pitch fork, is whispering in your ear, "but Teddy looked soooo good!"
NO! Stop it! Don't let the voices take over! Fight the urge!
hummmmmm…it's only preseason…hummmmm…it's only preseason…
Collect yourselves, grab a warm glass of milk, and let's get through this together.
If you watched Monday Night Football last night, you saw how quickly excitement can turn to concern. Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback, Johnny Manziel, looked awful in his second preseason game against the Washington Redskins (who didn't look much better). Just a week ago, Manziel was running all over the back field and making plays against the reserves of the Detroit Lions.
In week two of a preseason game, Washington's second unit shouldn't have poised much of a threat based on how awful their defense was in 2013. In a span of seven days, the (some of) sports World had a different feeling about Manziel. Yes, things could easily change back to mega-positive if Manziel plays well, at home, this coming weekend, I realize that.
This probably didn't help either… https://vine.co/v/M3ta2UVeU5n
Naturally, I couldn't help myself, so I made this:
Alright, back to the Vikings win against the Arizona Cardinals.
For a preseason game, it was quite entertaining. It was obvious by the body language of both head coaches, that these teams were playing to win. Both the Cardinals and Vikings have something to play for, even if it is the preseason.
For the Cardinals, it's to prove they're a legit contender in the difficult NFC West. For the Vikings, it's more to excite the fans that there is something to build on. They're doing a great job of that through the first two weeks.
Hummmmmmmm…..it's only preseason………hummmmmmmmmm…it's only preseason……
Stay with me here. Stay calm. Because I'm about to bring up Teddy Bridgewater.
Bridgewater looked really good against the second and third units for the Cardinals. Yes, Teddy was also playing with the second and third stringers for the Vikings, but the players were playing to win. Teddy made some great throws. He looked off defenders (something Christian Ponder nor Tarvaris Jackson ever did) and hit the open receivers.
He was far from perfect, as some of his passes were off target and his touch on fade passes in the end zone could have been better, but he stayed in the pocket and made throws. That is huge for a rookie.
Speaking of the pocket, hats off to the offensive line. There were a few early mistakes, but there was a constant pocket for both Matt Cassel and Bridgewater. You don't have to be a football genius to understand why that is important, but we have not seen consistency there since Brett Favre was wearing purple.It will be interesting to see how the unit plays this weekend against a difficult Kansas City Chiefs defense.
One thing that I noticed, and it took me back a few years, was that our offense actually looked like a football team that knew what it was doing. In the Fall of 2012, the Gopher football team opened their season on the road, versus UNLV, late on a Thursday night. With quarterback MarQueis Gray (now playing fullback/tight end with Manziel in Cleveland) in charge, the Gophers were in their second year under head coach Jerry Kill.
Until this game, I had not seen much fluidity in the Gophers' offense since Glen Mason was running the show. But this particular game, I could see it coming together. There were some bad throws, some missed assignments, that would have given the Gophers a 20+ point victory (they eventually won 30-27 in triple overtime). The plays were there, but the play-makers were not.
It didn't matter, because the players were buying in and you could see something special was in the works.
Fast forward a few years to the present and the Gophers are making noise as a legit team that could surprise the college football world. It's working.
I had this same feeling with the Vikings during the Cardinals game. Sure, the defense looked a bit shaky during the first drive, but this defense is a project and they (the first unit) got better as the game went on. You could see that there is something different in comparison to the defenses of recent years.
For the offense, the #TurnerInToAWinner affect is happening. Players were open. Like wide open. Cordarrelle Patterson, Kyle Rudolph, Greg Jennings…they were all open. It's up to the line to give the quarterback time to make the throw, which they did. That's something to look forward to with offensive coordinator Norv Turner in charge.
What was not good? The running backs. Matt Asiata looked slow and non-agile. That said, I thought Joe Banyard looked pretty good. Rookie Jerick McKinnon was not featured as much, but I expect we'll see more of him the next two games. So, yeah, no Adrian Peterson and our offense looked pretty good against a solid defense?
Hummmmmm…it's only the preseason……hummmmmmmmmm....t's only the preseason…
See how easy it is to get all tingly in your funny parts? Temper that urge. Save that excitement for when you'll need it. Like legitimately need it. That time may come sooner than you think.

School Supplies Drive
Wednesday, August 1, 2012 to Sunday, September 30, 2012
During the months of August and September, PCC will host a school supplies drive at all store locations in partnership with Alaffia Sustainable Skin Care to benefit children in Togo, West Africa.
We'll collect pencils (wooden, #2), pens (ball-point: red, blue or black), white chalk, protractors and compasses. Providing just a few of these items to Togolese youth reduces the financial burden of education for poor families. Due to poverty-induced drop-outs, only 14 percent of 12- to 18-year-old boys and nine percent of girls attend secondary school in rural Togo.
Drop off your donations to the collection boxes located in the health and body care department of each PCC store. Alaffia will then deliver the items to students for the 2012–13 school season.

Honeoye Falls saw widespread damage from Tuesday's storm. The vicious winds downed trees and tore down power lines. It left many wondering just what it was that ripped through the village Tuesday.
Glenn Clark said, "It was so loud that they didn't know until after the storm had passed that the trees had landed on the house."
That's how Glenn Clark described Tuesday night's thunderstorm, which ripped across the village of Honeoye Falls. The storm tore limbs, uprooted whole trees and toppled power lines. The devastation is not confined to just one street. Utility crews and tree removal specialists worked hard all day trying to restore power and cleanup. It is a lot of work for a storm that lasted only a short time.
Wendy Horn said, "I put my kids down and I walked to the side and saw that my car was impaled by the tree. I really couldn't see the car. The other maple tree was down and the lines were down. It was just a disaster area. I don't remember it being that long. It had to be five minutes. Five minutes and it was gone."
Five minutes that the village of Honeoye Falls won't soon forget.
Eight of the last ten Tuesdays have at least brought rain, if not, terrible thunderstorms. There is no explanation for that, except for pure chance.

When I subclass DzNode and add properties in the constructor those properties do get persisted when I save the scene. Do I have to subclass DzNode any time I want to save custom properties?

As hype for this spring's Titanfall and this fall's Destiny reaches unprecedented levels for untested IPs, I find myself wondering how their presence will affect what could be known as their "predecessors."
Titanfall is made by Respawn Entertainment, the company Vince Zampella and Jason West founded when they left Infinity Ward and Activision. They were instrumental in creating Call of Duty: Modern Warfare which turned the series into the blockbuster behemoth it is today. Now, though Infinity Ward still makes COD games (along with two other studios for Activision), the creative minds behind the original are investing everything in Titanfall.
Similarly, Bungie left Microsoft's Microsoft's nest entirely after years of making Halo games, one of the most popular and recognizable series in the world. Their new title is the multiplatform MMO shooter Destiny, while ironically Titanfall is currently an Xbox One (and PC) exclusive. But again, Microsoft is still making Halo games, and will presumably have one out from new studio 343 either this year or next. If they get it done in time, it may even go up against Destiny itself this fall, which would be something to see.
Both Halo and Call of Duty are aging. There have been five fully fledged Halo games to date (more if you count ODST and Wars) and Call of Duty has been on a yearly release schedule for a while now with three Modern Warfares, two Black Ops titles, Ghosts and whatever Sledgehammer will make for Activision this fall.
I think part of the excitement surrounding Titanfall and Destiny are simply that they're new shooter IPs in an age where fan-favorite franchises have long gone stale. Yes, games like Halo 4 and Ghosts still sell very, very well, but the general consensus seems to be that each series' glory days are behind them. So, how will Titanfall and Destiny affect either series? Could they prove lethal to either elder brand?
I think Halo is more at risk here, given the fact that Titanfall is an Xbox One exclusive (at least for the time being) and Destiny is being made by Bungie, and looks (and appears to feel) a lot like their older famed series. In that sense, both games are directly competing with Halo, whereas Titanfall is less a threat to Call of Duty because that series is multiplatform, even if it's the series' creators behind it. If (most likely when) it expands to all consoles, then Call of Duty might have something to worry about.
Halo still has some aces in its pocket at this point, however. Master Chief and Cortana have become icons on the level of Mario and Peach for Microsoft. I'm still not even sure Destiny even has a main character other than the one the player creates, and it remains to be seen what sort of story the game has. The game's turn to MMO-type play may turn off some players who want a more traditional multiplayer shooter experience that isn't quite as Borderlands-ish, and Halo could still outperform it in that regard (provided it reverses some of its more recent changes to multiplayer).
Meanwhile, Call of Duty is still seeing declining sales numbers, but the good news is that even if sales are dropping, they were so high in the first place, every Call of Duty release is still a massive hit no matter what. It's quite literally a golden goose for Activision, and its yearly release cycle will outproduce both Titanfall and Destiny. Not to say that neither of those series can't get so popular as to start popping out games on a yearly basis, but if that did happen, it wouldn't be for quite some time. I think that Call of Duty will essentially turn into Madden, even more so than it is already, and still be around a decade from now. The game has its formula set in stone and only needs relatively small tweaks from year to year. Yes, some customers are getting fed up with such minor changes and a general lack of evolution, but sales would indicate a vast majority don't care, and will buy the new game regardless. Even in the face of increased competition from these new shooters, I can't imagine what it would take for Activision to kill Call of Duty altogether.
In short, I think right now there's absolutely enough space for all four of these shooters to coexist. Yes, the new ones will likely be on the upswing while Halo and COD may see their numbers decline, but both sell so well even dips will leave each hugely profitable for years to come. Someday that may not be true, but that day seems like it's pretty far away.
I do have one piece of advice for EA, Activision and Microsoft. Don't stack all these games for release in the fall every year. Titanfall is doing a great service to the industry by releasing in the spring. It seems every year we get only a bare handful of good games released at a time other than the pre-Christmas fall (BioShock Infinite, Portal 2, Red Dead Redemption), and releases need to be spread out far better than they've been. I understand that everyone wants to be the hot must-have game for Christmas, but I can't imagine that a Destiny/Halo/Battlefield/Battlefront/Titanfall/Call of Duty simultaneous release in that window wouldn't result in some serious cannibalism, even if only a few of those came out at once. They need to follow Titanfall's lead and keep these similarly-genred releases spread out as much as possible over the course of this next generation.

Something scared Ursa the bear-dog tonight....I thought it was a fox, but with a higher pitch and louder..and Ursa was a bit uneasy, coming in and looking back with a growling snarl. wierd.
Edit: So Grizgirl and I go out with the dog's on a leash, but they really don't want to go past the driveway. we put them back in the house, and cover some ground. Grizgirl get's the hairs on the back of her neck going, Not enough snow for track's to see at night, and a neighbor see's us walking around with flashlight's and calls us "stupit tourist's", so we come back to the house where the dog's are hiding in their safety zones...Hmmm.
Time to call it a night and put in a movie like Blair witch project or something like it. :). or have another beer, cuz those things like to keep us awake pretty much all night with their schreechin'.
Grizgirl googled some wildlife sound's, and we probably have baby mtn lion's. Yay kitties.

Bigfoot in Estes Park?
Posted on31 January 2013.
Is there a Bigfoot in Estes Park? Investigators and local residents want to know!
Last week, local resident Ken Collins, was hiking along with a buddy of his up above Elm Road in search of firewood. The two came upon a snowbank with three interesting looking footprints. Ken knows what normal animal prints look like, yet these, looked strangely different. Ken took plaster casts of the footprints and decided he had something here that was very out of the ordinary! The plaster cast of the foot print is very unusual, and large! It measures 14 inches long and 10 inches wide. The cast has definite areas on it where you can distinguish toes and other landmarks of a foot. Ken wondered if he may have stumbled upon some evidence of a Bigfoot!
Ken and his family members contacted the Bigfoot Research Organization in Colorado Springs and they came up to investigate. BFRO is the organization which produces the Finding Bigfoot Show. Founded in 1995, the BFRO is now the oldest and largest organization of its kind, a virtual community of scientists, journalists, and specialists from diverse backgrounds. The researchers who compose the BFRO are engaged in projects, including field and laboratory investigations, designed to address various aspects of the bigfoot phenomenon. As a result of the education and experience of its members and the quality of their efforts, the BFRO is widely considered as the most credible and respected investigative network involved in the study of this subject.
The group from BFRO included Dennis Pfohl, founder of the Colorado Bigfoot Research Group, did a three hour investigation here in Estes Park with Ken and determined that the findings here are credible.
Dennis was very interested in noting the length of stride in between footprints. "The five foot stride is very significant."
Dennis told Ken that just days before, they heard of a "Bigfoot like creature" reported near Glen Haven and Drake, off the side of the road. Also, Dennis pointed out to Ken that several years ago there was a reported Bigfoot sighting in Rocky Mountain National Park by some campers, so this is not the first time there have been reported sightings of the mysterious creature in our area.
Ken also notified local wildlife expert and Search and Rescue volunteer and tracking expert, Jayne Zmijewski and her trained Search and Rescue dog Lakota and invited them up to the area where the footprints were found. Jayne and Lakota have some previous experience trying to track Bigfoot and Jayne was very interested to see that Lakota was on alert in several different "scent traps" where there seemed to be other footpad marks in the dirt. According to Jayne, "Lakota had her nose to the ground, sniffing hard and she was very focused. In some spots, she even pawed at the ground. It makes me think she was really alerted to something that had been there, something other than the usual wildlife we have around." Lakota also found a clump of hair near where the footprints were found. Jayne pointed out the Elm Road area, which is near the dump, would be a prime spot for any living creature to visit as a food source during the leaner, winter months. Jayne also said that although the evidence was slight, that is to be expected with creatures such as this. Their impact on the land is so subtle that it takes a trained eye to even notice it.
Jayne has since put up motion detector cameras and track traps in hopes of capturing more evidence. As of this printing, nothing of interest has shown up.
Dennis told Ken that the footprint cast really has telltale markers on it and told him that his find was "really good." It's not a bear, or a mountain lion, a snowshoe or a human foot. He said, "I'm pretty confident that you have the real deal here!" Members of the BFRO will be submitting the information and photos to Dr. Jeff Meldrum, a well known expert on Bigfoot.
From the BFRO website, "It's a fact that for more than 400 years people have reported seeing large, hair-covered, man-like animals in the wilderness areas of North America. The BFRO organizes and reports observations and directs expeditions to places where the observations have occurred. Through this process, the BFRO steadily improves the size and scope of its collective expertise about these animals.
The overall mission of the BFRO is multifaceted, but the organization essentially seeks to resolve the mystery surrounding the bigfoot phenomenon, that is, to derive conclusive documentation of the species' existence. This goal is pursued through the proactive collection of empirical data and physical evidence from the field and by means of activities designed to promote an awareness and understanding of the nature and origin of the evidence."
When asked what Ken would say to his skeptics, he said, "Up until a week ago, I was a skeptic too. I believe this now! We believe in God and we don't have to see his footprints to know he's real. I encourage everyone to make their own judgements but as for me, I believe!"
Whether you believe or not, its a fascinating topic. If Bigfoot really does exist, these new findings in Estes Park may help prove the mystery.

My wife and I were hiking nr Beaver Meadows trailhead this weekend and saw some huge footprints in the snow. I even joked to my wife saying these looked like Bigfoot's prints. ( I assumed they were a function of old footprints melting and being distorted by wind etc.)
Well, imagine my suprise when we stopped at Estes Park Brewery and saw this article in EPN. The ones in your photos are indentical to the ones (2) we saw less than an hour ago. We were almost tempted to walk back and take a photo of what we saw. Strange but true.
Happy Trails Y'all.
It's not about tha bike nor tha ride; it's about tha adventure in life we all seek. Great memories are made of taking tha trail less traveled and explored.

It's trashy, crude, and it plays very well to the parts of my brain inhabited by lizards.

Ron Bennington's a comic genious. It might take a few listens to figure it out, but the guy's sarcasm is unbelieveable.

Gone Tomorrow (Hardcover)
|Author: Lee Child
Learn more about Gone Tomorrow:
|New York City. Two in the morning. A subway car heading uptown. Jack Reacher, plus five other passengers. Four are okay. The fifth isn't.
In the next few tense seconds Reacher will make a choice–and trigger an electrifying chain of events in this gritty, gripping masterwork of suspense by #1 New York Times bestseller Lee Child.
Susan Mark was the fifth passenger. She had a lonely heart, an estranged son, and a big secret. Reacher, working with a woman cop and a host of shadowy feds, wants to know just how big a hole Susan Mark was in, how many lives had already been twisted before hers, and what danger is looming around him now.
Because a race has begun through the streets of Manhattan in a maze crowded with violent, skilled soldiers on all sides of a shadow war. Susan Mark's plain little life was critical to dozens of others in Washington, California, Afghanistan . . . from a former Delta Force operator now running for the U.S. Senate, to a beautiful young woman with a fantastic story to tell–and to a host of others who have just one thing in common: They're all lying to Reacher. A little. A lot. Or maybe just enough to get him killed.
In a novel that slams through one hairpin surprise after another, Lee Child unleashes a thriller that spans three decades and gnaws at the heart of America . . . and for Jack Reacher, a man who trusts no one and likes it that way, it's a mystery with only one answer–the kind that comes when you finally get face-to-face and look your worst enemy in the eye.
From the Publisher:
Witnessing a suicide on a Manhattan subway, Jack Reacher finds himself targeted by the federal government and Al-Qaeda for his knowledge of a dangerous secret, a situation that leads to a dangerous chase through the streets of New York City.
Always ready for action, Jack Reacher--Lee Child's tough-as-nails, perpetually wandering hero--plunges head first into a convoluted, high-stakes mission when he witnesses what he's pretty sure is a suicide bombing on the New York City subway. Child keeps the action coming and readers voraciously turning pages with this `3th installment in his best-selling series.

"Moving the Chains Forward"
Robert A. Sturgell, Washington, D.C.
March 25, 2008
Runway Safety Update
I've invited you here this afternoon to update you on one of our top safety initiatives. Safety does remain our primary focus, and we will not allow the distractions of the day to keep us from the work at hand.
Our safety record on both fronts — commercial and GA — is nothing short of unprecedented. And a lot of it has to do with the work that goes on every day in this building, and around the country, by our technicians, controllers, inspectors, and engineers.
With that in mind, I'm pleased to announce that we continue to move the chains forward on a pressing matter — runway safety. You'll recall that last August, we issued a challenge — a call to action to our industry partners that we need to step it up to make runways safer. And they've responded like never before.
We're almost halfway through the year. So far, we've had 14 serious runway incursions since the fiscal year started back in October. Only three have involved a commercial air carrier.
There were no deaths or injuries. And 14 is a tiny fraction considering the millions of takeoffs and landings that have gone on in that span. A passenger would have to board a U.S. commercial flight every day for 10,470 years before having the probability of being involved in a serious runway incursion.
Knowing that, it hardly sounds like it's time to push the panic button, but it's still too many. And, as the aviation safety agency, we can't be satisfied even with numbers this small. And the thing about incursions is — they are preventable in almost every instance.
Our call to action included a top-to-bottom review of 20 airports. It uncovered a valuable amount of data — data that's led to more than 100 fixes. Some of them were as simple as improving the markings and paint on taxiways.
Eighteen of those 20 airports are commercial. What's interesting to note is that there hasn't been a serious incursion at a single one of those commercial facilities so far this year. To put that in perspective, those 18 accounted for 33 percent of all serious incidents last year.
Based on the success of that first batch of airports, we're now going to review 22 more facilities.
Moving west to east, among the airports included will be Sea-Tac, Midway, and LaGuardia, Dulles and Teterboro.
We're concentrating on the busy East Coast because that's where the action is. Of our initial review of 20 airports, eight were on the East Coast. In this latest round, there are seven of them.
While LAX has been our single-most problematic airport, the major airports on the East had 66 percent more serious incursions than their counterparts on the West Coast last year.
To complement the efforts of our airport runway safety action teams, I'd like to talk a bit about our technology programs.
The NTSB has long advocated technology that provides a direct warning to pilots in the cockpit. And, while we're not there yet, we are getting close with technologies like ADS-B. And, some of you may have seen the announcement today about Jeppesen's certification approval of an "own-ship" moving map display.
To help us better analyze the benefits of current cockpit runway safety technologies, the FAA intends to make available up to $5 million to enter into cost-sharing, cooperative agreements with industry.
It's a public-private partnership at its best. And it's in the formative stages at the moment, but the aim is for the operators and manufacturers to outline what they would do with the funds to improve runway safety through the installation of technologies like cockpit moving map displays, the runway advisory warning system, ADS-B, and others.
We're tentatively focusing on the New York-Florida corridor since that's where our congestion and NextGen activities are primarily focused as well.
The data that we glean from these technologies will help us better target safety trends and human factors issues to give us the big picture that we simply don't have yet. More to come on this later in the summer.
We're also spreading the net of safety well beyond the big airports. We are looking into ways to bring affordable ground surveillance radar systems to small and medium airports. These are places where ground monitoring systems like ASDE-X, which can cost more than $20 million, might not prove to be a sound financial move.
We have two low-cost surveillance systems in testing at Spokane.
The FAA has recently begun to identify other commercially available, low-cost systems that might fit the bill, and to see where they could be installed and tested. We've just completed a market survey to identify potential industry partners, and eight companies have stepped forward.
We expect to award contracts for the pilot project this fiscal year. Additionally, we plan to have some of these products on the ground and under evaluation at about six airports in fiscal 2009. These systems will directly benefit the controller workforce with increased situational awareness.
Likewise, we're moving ahead with another important technology — runway status lights. It's an alert warning system with red lights embedded in the pavement to warn pilots to hold right where they are. This measure will significantly boost runway safety without reducing capacity or adding to controller workload.
The reasoning behind runway lights is simple. Drivers have stop lights to guide them. Why not pilots?
DFW and San Diego already have them. LAX is up next. And stay tuned for an important announcement soon about airport #4. It's our hope that by 2011, at least 20 airports will have them.
Toward that end, the FAA has begun the process of inviting companies to present proposals for a national rollout of runway status lights. Expect an announcement by this summer on who gets the contract.
But technology itself isn't the only answer to a safe runway. It's not going to make incursions disappear overnight. We also must focus on the human factor. One of those factors that sometimes surfaces is fatigue. Tired people are more apt to make mistakes. Everyone knows that.
Whether it's fatigued pilots, controllers, mechanics, or anyone else, we want to work with the industry to discuss the problem and find possible solutions.
So, we are going to sponsor a first-ever symposium dedicated solely to the issue of fatigue.
We're dedicating three days in June, the 17th, 18th and 19th, and it'll take place here in the Washington area. I'll be there, along with a number of experts to discuss the latest scientific evidence and best practices.
As you can see, we're not letting up on the safety front. We relish the challenge of finding ways to make a safe system even safer. In short, we're engaged and we're moving forward.
At this point, I'll turn things over to my colleagues to elaborate a little more on what we're doing.
Thank you.

Sonic Generations is an amazing gut punch to the malaise that the Blue Bomber's career has been in lately. Not quite a knockout blow, but longtime fans might not care as they race through two decades of Hedgehog history.
After a series of lackluster races, Sonic's latest adventure blends classic gameplay into one package for a trip down memory lane with re-imagined maps in 3D while keeping to much of the 2D magic that I remember from his Genesis days. It doesn't shove gimmicky powers or cantankerous controls into your hands while hurtling you through some of the craziest, speed induced levels in Sonic's career both past and present.
Generations came out to celebrate Sonic's 20th Anniversary so things kick off with a birthday party featuring all of his friends. It doesn't take long for things to go wrong when a mysterious, black cloud of hate ruins things by vacuuming up everyone and leaving bits and pieces of Sonic's past everywhere else. Soon, our hero teams up with his past self as he tries to figure out just what is going on and why everything looks like a blank, white canvas.
Tweaked levels, redone in HD and re-imagined in 3D spanning his twenty year history, stand in the way of his red sneakers and fans of the series will recognize favorites such as Green Hill from his debut on the Genesis. Even bosses like the Death Egg Robot make comebacks in beefed up battles adding to the mystery of what is really going on. But story has never been Sonic's strength. It has always been speed and the crazy things that the game does to trip players up.
Sonic's classic gameplay formula hasn't changed despite the glossy pixels. Collecting gold rings remains key to his survival. Getting hit with a load of these golden trinkets will cause them to fly everywhere, but Sonic won't die unless he's hit without any rings at all. And then there are the levels that will try to kill him along with any baddies that happen to be along the way.
A giant, fiery tornado with floating platforms of snapped highway bridges and hovering autos awaits players in Crisis City while rocket power-ups and underwater bubbles provide challenges elsewhere. Springboards propelling Sonic at hyper speeds, twisting tracks, and gliding down rails over empty space bring back much of the nostalgic adrenaline from titles past which is both Generations' greatest strength and its worst weakness. It's great fun seeing and playing through these remastered places again, but at the same time, a disturbing commentary on Sonic's future with so much deja vu from his past in keeping it alive.
Special abilities can also be purchased and equipped, such as added speed, before heading out into any of these levels adding an unexpected layer of customization to the experience. They're not the kind of bonuses that unbalance the game, and Sonic can only equip so many of these in a set, but they provide additional incentive to do well in each level to achieve high scores garnering more purchase points.
Each "area" of the game consists of three classic levels and completing them opens up a number of "challenge" levels set in the levels the portals are set around. These provide even more challenging options such as racing against a doppleganger or surviving a level with the help of a freed friend. Completing at least one one of these challenges for a particular level also reveals a key, one of three, that together are used to unlock the gate to one of the big boss battles in the game. Successfully getting through that opens up the next triple batch of levels and so on until the very end.
Longtime fans will also recognize Chaos Emeralds in the mix which are guarded by one of Sonic's past foes such as Shadow the Hedgehog, each one providing a unique challenge updated for the game. Most of these boss fights are pretty straightforward often requiring Sonic to leap over a number of obstacles and challenges to get in close and bop the enemy, but one or two can tend to drag things out – like the final boss battle of the game.
Players can even select which Sonic to play as. Classic Sonic will take on the challenges in 2D while Modern Sonic takes them on in 3D mixed in with special abilities and a few 2D moves. Although the game suggests starting off these levels as 2D Sonic because they tend to be "easier" with that approach, the challenge can often be just as tough with blind jumps, deadly drops, and a lack of life sustaining rings for when you need them most.
Finishing the story takes about four or five hours, though trying out the huge number of challenges and improving your leaderboard score can add much more depending on how much patience you've stocked up on. This is an arcade-styled game that adheres to the old school of its predecessors especially since much of that challenge lies within levels laid out as deadly gauntlets brimming over with built in dangers. The game won't flatten out all of those loops, infinite pits, and alternate routes to ease things.
Sonic has had a rough couple of sequels, but Generations succeeds in trying to do right by its fans with a refreshing run through his past glory. In addition to the mini-challenges, a virtual cornucopia of collectable content ranging from art and music spanning Sonic's history from character sketches to 16-bit arrangements from the distant past is also crammed onto the disc providing even more incentives. Generations doesn't quite push Sonic's world into new directions, but fans should find themselves right at home with what it brings to his party.

Woodstove Temp Monitor and Alert… [via]
Paul Westaway wanted to make sure his woodstove didn't exceed the upper limit of temperature and overheat, thus damaging the stove or causing a fire. He wanted a monitor that could send out an alert if the stove got too hot. He was surprised he couldn't find a monitor available commercially. So, like any enterprising Gadget Freak, he decided to make one of his own. Using a handful of inexpensive components, Westaway created his own Woodstove Digital Temperature Monitor.

First, every child has the right to succeed and we must keep the needs of our students first. Pomona School District has made tremendous strides; increasing test scores, partnering with businesses, developing trade career paths and increasing our educational offerings. The November passage of School Bond Measure PS made possible the refurbishment of many schools this summer and air conditioning of our oldest school, Lincoln Elementary. Innovative educational programs have been created and schools have been reconfigured to meet the needs of students and parents. As a Board, we have worked collaboratively to eliminate waste and demand fiscal accountability. We have also worked to create greater transparency within the District. For the first time, we held community forums to receive input on the selection of a new Superintendent and we have created a community budget committee to provide input on the District's budget and fiscal priorities.
Second, although we have accomplished many things, the work before us is not without challenges. As the State struggles to balance its budget, unfortunately school districts, which are reliant on the State for funding, have been subjected to unprecedented cuts that appear to continue. Since 2008, PUSD has lost approximately $49 million dollars, and while we managed to avoid massive cuts by using one-time federal funding to save the jobs of teachers and support personnel, next year promises to be fiscally difficult. It is imperative that we let our voices be heard in Sacramento and ask our legislators to make education a priority. We also need to explore new and inventive funding sources that allow us to maintain and create educational programs in PUSD that will allow our students to excel and are attractive to parents.
Third, reducing the dropout rate, keeping teachers and support personnel, closing the achievement gap, having safe schools, reasonable class sizes, and maintaining art and athletic programs are all important to the success of our District. It is now more important than ever to maintain stability and continuity in the District.
Finally, as a school law attorney for over 22 years and an active parent in community and school district activities, My experience and commitment to the children of PUSD will assist me in continuing to serving our District well. I believe that I have worked to make a positive difference in the lives of PUSD students. Working together, we can continue to build on our successes.

Atlantic City lies on a barrier island on the south coast of New Jersey. Once a popular resort area for residents of New York and Philadelphia from the 1850's, (the street names in the board game "Monopoly" are taken from downtown streets), the city went into decline after World War II as better travel and transportation services made other destinations accessible. The return to legalized gambling in the late 1970s was a partially successful attempt to revive the earlier prominence.
Today the shore area thrives. The Boardwalk is both a historic gem and a good if somewhat crowded place to spend a morning or afternoon. The large high-rise casino properties rise abruptly on the other side of the "strip." The economy depends almost entirely on tourism. Cost of living and housing are low on a New Jersey scale but high relative to incomes and U.S. averages. Areas along the coast to the south towards Ocean City and Cape May are more attractive, prosperous and livable and retain more of their historic feel.
Surrounding terrain is mainly flat and composed of tidal marshes and beach sand. Vegetation consists of scrub pine and low underbrush. The climate is principally continental in character. However, the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean is apparent throughout the year. As a result, summers are relatively cooler and winters milder than elsewhere at the same latitude. During the warm season, sea breezes in the late morning and afternoon keep temperatures in the 80's. Precipitation is moderate and well distributed through the year. Tropical storms or hurricanes occasionally bring heavy rain. Most winter precipitation comes from coastal storms ("noreasters") and creates a rain/snow mix. Large snow accumulations and ice storms are far less common than nearby inland locations. First freeze is late October, last is mid-April.

Living the dream
I am looking to meet someone(maybe you) that is active and shares similar interests. I have great friends and family. I am not to much into the bar scene but enjoy shows and love live music. One of my passions is snowboarding, I love to shred and am a bit of a shredbum in the winter, I would like to meet someone that likes the snow and maybe has or is interested in getting a season pass(COLORADO PASS, LOVELAND, etc) for the winter. I am passionate about everything I do. I own my own company so my hours are flexible, this allows me to play when the 9-5ers are grinding away at work especially in the winter. I am a collector of rare books, I guess that does not mean much but books are a huge part of my life. I think TV is a complete waste of time though I turn it on from time to time( occasional movie, game or video game), life is too short to be staring at a glowing box unless your getting paid, so get out and have a real adventure. I am kinda old fashion and am a 1 girl kind of guy when committed to someone. Trust and loyalty is everything and I am honest and would like the same in return. I like to travel and get to travel for work at times all over the states . There is no script to my life and every day is an adventure, whether it is fresh turns on a powder day hitting jumps and rails on a snowboard, mountain biking, floating on the river or going to work it is always fun and exciting. I would like to find someone that is not afraid of going camping or taking a risk from time to time. I would like to meet someone that has a similar passion for the outdoors and is not afraid of getting their hands dirty but can still go out for a night on the town. I love food and one of my favorite things is to grill on the lake. many people I know hate their job and that really sucks, I love what I do and honestly it never feels like I am at work even after a long day it's a great environment to be in. I am a positive person and like to see the light in things and this is important though we all have bad days, there is too many negative people out there and if they are not happy with themselves they won't happy in a relationship so I am looking for someone with a good outlook on life....of course too much of anything can be a bad thing but hopefully you understand what I was getting at. Our time is so limited we have to live life before it passes us by. I have lived one heck of a life so far and would like to find someone special to spend the next chapter with. Well thanks if you read this far and look forward to hearing from you.

Generally speaking, no. But first, some background information.
Selecting the right treatment for prostate cancer depends on many factors. They include your overall health, your age, the size and spread of the cancer, the aggressiveness of your cancer, and how you feel about the potential side effects of treatment. Treatment options include:
Talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of each option before making a decision.
Which initial treatment you choose may not affect a later treatment choice, should it be needed because of recurring cancer. However, prostatectomy after radiation therapy or cryosurgery (salvage prostatectomy) is performed in only very select cases because of the significantly increased risk of fecal and urinary incontinence. How widespread the recurring cancer is also plays a role in considering salvage prostatectomy.
Although salvage prostatectomy can be performed at specialized medical centers, it is often an option of last resort and determined on a case-by-case basis. In general, prostatectomy is not an option for men who have previously received radiation therapy or cryosurgery, and other treatments, including androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), may be tried before a salvage prostatectomy.

My family and my friends are extremely important to me. I do have a son (3yrs old)...it this is an issue I'm not the person for you.

I'm open to trying things at least once. I have also enjoyed spending the summer in Chicago. I'm definately not one for games or drama (don't have time or energy for it). I'm not here for a quick hook up... that's not me. Being that I'm new to online dating...I'm not sure what the end result will be. If I meet an great man and it becomes a relationship..that would be awesome. I'm taking a chance and trying this out (according to my friends...this is a good dating method). I simply want to enjoy life...laugh...live...love and share those moments with an amazing man. Life is to short and precious. If this may be you then message me. If not good luck in your search!

Supplies for building a 36" Brick Oven
Hello all
I am planning on building a 36" Brick oven. Thing is, I needa know what I need...
Supplies I have:
I know I need a LOT more materials, but i am not exactly sure how much of each. I think I have enough concrete mix, but I need cement or concrete blocks for the base. I am planning on building a base at least 52" wide by 64" deep, and 38" high for the 36" Oven. I will be getting some firebricks from a friend, and will need to buy some. If anyone who has built a 36" Oven can help me, please do. Thanks...
Re: Supplies for building a 36" Brick Oven
Nevermind, the amount of concrete mix is literally 1/5 of what I need at LEAST!
I am going to get some firebricks, AKA a LOT of firebricks.
Re: Supplies for building a 36" Brick Oven
Jascob, I just filled the cores on my block stand today. My stand is 63" x 63" and 4 courses high of block. I filled every other core (some I did the one next to it too) plus put a chain of block in the middle of the slab. I used 12 bags of 80lb Quikrete today.
You should be able to find everything in the free Pompeii plans on FB's website.
Re: Supplies for building a 36" Brick Oven
Santino, Thanks for the reply!
Filling every other core, what does that do? I mean, how do you put the rebar in? WOuld you mind taking a photo pls?
Re: Supplies for building a 36" Brick Oven
I'm just talking about filling every other core of your concrete block for stability. You definitely need to download those free Pompeii plans from the FB store. They will show you pictures of everything. It's 76 pages of ALMOST everything you need to know. Everything else you will learn from the people on here that have built theirs. Read through these and you will learn a lot:
I would take a picture for you, but as soon as I finished today it started pouring down rain and I have a tarp over it right now.
Re: Supplies for building a 36" Brick Oven
Kay, thanks
Re: Supplies for building a 36" Brick Oven
Does anyone know if I need rebar on the slab too? Thanks

Nowadays, though, somebody like Telephone Man is merely a delightful slice of antiquity decorating an entirely more promising tableau. As he places his call to nowhere in the downtown square he's surrounded by the newfound lifeblood of St. Johns. Young moms push high-end strollers under maple trees, a cupful of Stumptown from James John Cafe in one hand. Tattooed alt-kids rattle their skateboards down streets framed by neon signs on their way to the skate park in Pier Park. Bicycle tourists from Southeast in their Lycra outfits spoon dollops of Legong gelato while checking out the schedule at the St. Johns Twin Cinemas—the only place in metropolitan Portland you can watch first-run movies for six bucks while drinking a beer.
And yet, St. Johns still manages to wear the dirt around its collar with a healthy glut of dive bars, wandering drunks, and an overpowering sense of history that keep the downtown area looking like some hybrid of Mayberry and a pre-spit-shined N Mississippi Avenue. Pride is a commodity in this insular community that still points with glee to its brief run as its own bustling city in the early 1900s.
"This is a place with a lot of heart and dirt and cracks," says author Willy Vlautin, whose writing office in downtown overlooks the monolithic St. Johns Bridge.
But change is coming to St. Johns. The city's gentrifier-in-chief, the Portland Development Commission, is sniffing the neighborhood with potential investment dollars that would tinker with the look of downtown while also making it more a destination than a curiosity. Meanwhile, the social fabric is already being restitched. Local bar stools now sport Gen Y bohemians instead of dockworkers. Young families looking for affordable housing have filled homes once passed down generation to generation. And Latinos are growing into the area's dominant minority. Caught between the tempting pull of greater prosperity and the fight to hold tight to an identity nearly as old as Portland itself, St. Johns is a neighborhood in transition. The question is whether it can survive the evolution with its spirit intact.
"I resent the term gentrification because there's a negative connotation to it," says 63-year-old Jim Speirs, a fourth-generation St. Johns'er. "But the old neighborhood had a real homogenous feel to it, and we're losing it. The fact that St. Johns would never change is inconceivable. But still, I'm just not sure what will become of it."

But the Americans are not the only ones who want the high value scientists. The Soviets have opened the Red Room, releasing their most dangerous operative --The Winter Soldier, who unbeknownst to the world, is the presumed-dead partner of Captain America—Bucky Barnes! The brainwashed soldier's mission: to acquire the scientists by any means or to kill them should they fall into American hands. This classic 60's style, high-octane, spy pulp told at Cold War's peak follows Ran Shen and his terrified scientists as they creep out of the shadow of East Berlin. Intrigue, adventure, romance and murder abound with ramifications that will shatter relationships in the modern-day Marvel Universe—including one with the Star Spangled Avenger himself!

ELIZABETHTON — A traffic stop on Tuesday afternoon led to the arrests of two men who were wanted.
Deputy Isaac Rhea had been told to be on the look out for two men in a Plymouth Acclaim who residents said were acting suspiciously on Lick Skillet Road. When Rhea stopped the vehicle, he identified the driver as Christopher Earl Carver, 33, 107 Taylor Hollow Road.
A records check indicated Christopher Carver was wanted on a burglary of a garage in the Stoney Creek area in April. A grand jury indictment charged him with burglary and theft over $500.
According to the indictment, Christopher Carver entered the garage of Earl Rock on April 9 and stole three wheels for a Datsun 240Z, a propane tank, and two lawn mower batteries. The wheels were found at Davis Recycling.
A passenger in the car was identified as Steven Dana Carver, 48, 137 Dan Bowers Road, Lot 21. Rhea said he was wanted on a charge of violation of probation. Rhea also noticed a clear plastic bag with green plants in it, which appeared to be marijuana. He said Steven Carver told him he had found the plant in the woods and had harvested it, dried it and planned to smoke it. Rhea then charged him with possession of marijuana.

MultiChoice has partnered with Equity Bank, to boost set box uptake locally ahead of the Government-led analogue signal switch-off.
The partnership is expected to enable Kenyans with no decoders - either GOtv or DStv - to switch from analogue to digital transmission more flexibly through the financing scheme.
Commenting on the partnership, MultiChoice Kenya GM, Danny Mucira said that as a high quality pay television service in Kenya, MultiChoice has always ensured that it is on the cutting edge of technology, content and service, which has resulted in consistent improvements in our subscribers viewing and enjoyment.
"This timely financing partnership will ensure that Kenyans are able to immediately enjoy the benefits of digital entertainment from our superior brands - both GOtv & DStv - with financial ease," said Mucira.
Equity Bank COO Julius Kipng'etich has acknowledged that the move will go a long way in supporting Kenyans to migrate to the new digital platform and enable them to continue enjoying Television after the cutoff date.
"We are delighted with this partnership, as the country gears to migrate from analogue to digital television platform; we seek to facilitate the acquisition of decoders. Interested customers will go through normal credit vetting where we anticipate to take a short time before the customer acquires his/her devise of choice," noted Kipng'etich.
The two institutions already have a partnership that enables DSTV subcribers to pay for their subcriptions at Equity Bank retail outlets and through EAZZY 247 mobile banking thus giving them convenience through the countrywide Equity Bank infrastructure.
Among the MultiChoice products under the scheme is GOtv currently retailing at Kshs 3, 399 which is inclusive of 2 months free GOtv Plus subscription. An antennae is sold separately at Kshs 1,000.

AN understanding of the devastating alliance between HIV and tuberculosis may point the way to new methods of treating HIV infection.
Simultaneous HIV and TB infections tend to make each other worse. Scientists think HIV helps the TB bacterium by weakening the body's immune defences. But how TB encourages the AIDS virus has been unclear.
Now Michael Weiden of New York University Medical Center and his colleagues have shown that the TB bacterium cuts levels of proteins that inhibit DNA replication, so replication rates increase (
Weiden suggests the finding may lead to ways of flushing out latent HIV that lies hidden from anti-HIV drugs.

Smartwool makes all of kinds of awesome products, but what got me hooked on them was the first pair of socks by them I purchased. My feet instantly fell in love with the comfort, so it was no surprise to me when my daughter always requests to wear these socks. They're really colorful, comfortable and warm. Perfect trifecta! They fit true to size chart and will generally last a long while. Excellent value product!
Let me just start by saying I WAS SHOCKED to find these socks on clearance this time if year (heading into winter). I am a huge fan of Smart Wool for my family...especially for kids because they don't and won't tolerate "itchy socks". These are the warmest most comfortable socks on the planet!! I still have nightmares about the horrid "military issue " ugly green wool socks I was forced to wear while I was a CPT in the Army. I'm not a winer but those socks , though very warm and kept Athletes foot at bay, drove me crazy!! So until I discovered Smart Wool, I swore I would never again wear another pair of wool socks!! Now even my very awesome but sensory prone daughter (who happens to have Down Syndrome) LOVES these socks!! If SHE can handle the fabric against her very sensitive skin, anyone can, believe me!! Can't wait to see her face when she opens them on Christmas morning!! I won't get the reaction " ugh, socks!!!". BEST VALUE EVER!! And sizing chart is very accurate! Ho Ho Ho!
