PHOENIX (AP) — Thanks to a photo posted on a social-media website that captured the public's imagination, Grumpy Cat has emerged as a bona fide celebrity. Evidence of the cat's burgeoning fame could be found recently at Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe, as more than 800 people waited to get a snapshot with the tiny house pet.
"This is right in line with most rock-star book signings," said Brandon Stout, director of marketing at the Tempe bookstore. "I guess Grumpy Cat is a rock star in the world of cats."
Like a lot of celebrities, Grumpy uses a stage name. Her birth name: Tardar Sauce. And like most celebs, the 17-month-old cat knows how to make a stealthy entrance. Her owner sneaked her into the bookstore through a back entrance.
"Everyone wants to hold her," said her owner, Tabatha Bundesen of Morristown, which is northwest of Phoenix. She keeps close watch over the cat to ensure that doesn't happen, accompanied by Grumpy's entourage (i.e. Bundesen's cousin Mike Adkins and manager Ben Lashes).
Grumpy's path to fame began last September when Bundesen's brother posted a picture of the sour-faced feline to the social-news site Reddit. Rather than being a flash in the pan, the Grumpy phenomenon has showed surprising staying power. The bookstore appearance was to promote "Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book," which hit the New York Times best-seller list this summer. A movie is also in the works, and Grumppuccino, a line of coffee drinks, will hit stores this year.
Perhaps most impressively, Grumpy has landed a deal to be the spokescat for Friskies pet food, meaning she won't be going away any time soon.
"Everything in pop culture has a different life span," said the shades-wearing Lashes. "That's the difference between the Beatles and Herman's Hermits. I think Grumpy has a little Beatle in her."
Judging from the reaction Grumpy elicits from fans, Lashes may not be exaggerating. No one fainted, but there was a collective gasp from the crowd as Bundesen walked out with Grumpy on a cat bed.
Fans then got to pose next to Grumpy and Bundesen. You couldn't touch the cat, but you did get a "paw-tograph" inside your book.
Not to stomp on anyone's dreams, but a bookstore employee spent a few hours stamping books prior to the event.
To keep people entertained, Adkins donned a cat costume and walked through the store, chatting with fans and posing for pictures. He did drop one family secret, admitting that he is a dog person who owns five pit bull-husky mixes that get on fine with Grumpy Cat.
"She's really cool and mellow," he offered.
Indeed, the cat appeared to snooze most of the time, which didn't dampen anyone's enthusiasm. Cheri Minauri spent more than two hours in line for her chance to pose next to Grumpy. The founder of a cat-rescue organization in Gilbert, she said she enjoyed the entire experience.
"It's just the camaraderie of being around all these cat people," she said. "Plus, she's a celebrity. She's more fun than Charles Barkley."
For some people, Grumpy Cat has taken on a deeper meaning. Mesa Community College student Juleah Brewer wore an officially licensed shirt with Grumpy's image as she waited for her photo opportunity.
"Grumpy Cat has become my spirit animal," said Brewer, who lives in Tempe. "She helped me out of a serious depression."
She said seeing images of the annoyed-looking cat and the accompanying captions – a sample: "What doesn't kill you ... isn't working" – made her smile through difficult times.
"She taught me that you can look as grumpy as she does on the outside and still be happy inside," Brewer said.
For the majority of the crowd, the event had a lighter tone. While he waited in line, Bilal Chaudhry practiced the grumpy face he planned to make when he got his moment with the cat.
"She's just so ... cute," Chaudhry said. "I won't be grumpy if I have to wait three hours in line to meet Grumpy Cat."

Nope! Am not talking about the sixth largest city in Japan. Nope! Am not referring to those melt-in-your-mouth marbled beef either. I am referring to my first furry friend in Melbourne, Kobe!
Kobe's mummy is a close family friend and I was so excited to be invited to her house to visit her precious baby. Kobe is about Pumpkin's age and he is a mix of Shih Tzu, Maltese and Bichon...I guess he has got the best attributes from all the three breeds, Kobe is really handsome plus a very strong character too.
After a few rounds of chasing one another, Kobe warmed up to me. He loves a good tummy rub just like my precious Pea.
He got such a gorgeous smile, doesn't he??
Kobe's mummy brought me to the kitchen to show me Kobe's food storage. Goodness....it war breaks out now, his supply could last him for half a year!!! Ahem, Kobe is really lucky cos his mummy cooks him beef stew with vegetables (fit for human consumption when salt is added) for dinner.
Furry kiddos in Ozzieland are really lucky. They have so many variety of treats here. Spot the Wings??
How about this 100% baked low fat garlic flavoured rawhide chips?????
Fries from McD for doggies???
Sandals...obviously a gift from last Christmas.
Really a big salute to Kobe's mummy as she even make her own treats from pork liver. I am gonna make this for Pea and Pumpkin next time. Pretty easy, just boil the sliced pork liver and put into the oven for an hour under low temperature.
Kobe's daddy sent me home and Kobe came along too. He kept looking back at me...I think he really likes me! *GRIN*
He obviously enjoys going for car ride! When I got down from the car, Kobe excitedly wanted to follow as well and gave a loud growl. Awww...am missing him already. I do wish Pea and Pumpkin will join me here soon, as I can already imagine the three of them running around the park while we enjoying a BBQ picnic!

To the poor, poor soul who thinks he/she shouldn't have to pay taxes for the "kids they don't have." Um, hello, your future is in the hands of those "kid's you don't have." Also, your TalkBack suggested that, not only do you not have kids in school, but it also said that you have never used the education system, so why should you pay taxes for it? I find it really sad that you never went to school either. I am not on welfare and work for a living, so I think that paying for that should change, too.
The new proposed outline for immigration reform is discriminatory. Only lawyers, engineers and professionals will go to the front of the list. We have an abundance of these people now where they can't find jobs. This is not fair to the 11 million illegals in the United States today.
A recent letter to the editor stated, "The right to own a gun is a God-given right." I would like to know where in the Bible this is stated, especially in light of God's commandment, "Thou shalt not kill," as well as the fact that guns did not exist when the Bible was written.
There will be a "smart choice" march on Washington, D.C., on Feb. 29 to promote the anti-gun agenda. Let's show Washington that the smart choice is the choice to ban guns.
Healthy choices
I would like to urge local restaurants and grocery stores to please provide more healthy choices for consumers. Many people would like to have low-fat, low-carb or low-sodium choices, but in most places these are lacking. Also, in bakeries and in grocery store delis, there are few to no choices in whole grain products, like muffins. Ice cream shops need to carry sugar-free choices. All restaurants should have light dressings. Please help citizens eat in a healthier way by recognizing that high-fat and high-sodium food is unhealthy.

Monday, January 14, 2013
Gov. Nikki Haley issued an executive order Wednesday officially setting in motion the process for a special election to fill the 1st Congressional District seat.
Potential candidates have until noon Jan. 28 to file, and voters have until Feb. 16 to ensure theyre registered to vote.
Primaries will be March 19 and the special election will be May 7.
The pool of possible candidates encompasses dozens when the seat opened up in 2010, nine Republicans and two Democrats vied for the seat.
This year, newly elected state Sen. Paul Thurmond has already said he wont run. Former Gov. Mark Sanford is reportedly considering a run. Keith Blandford, who ran as a Libertarian in 2012, and Larry Kobrovsky, who ran in the 2010 Republican primary, have already announced.
Teddy Turner, son of CNN founder Ted Turner, also announced his candidacy.
On the Democratic side, several people, including 2012 candidate Bobbie Rose, are considering a run.
Rose said she feared her supporters would be too tired to take up another campaign so soon, but has found them eager.
She also thinks theres a shift toward the Democratic side within the district, though whether were there yet, that remains to be seen.
Beaufort County Democratic Party Chairman Blaine Lotz is also mulling a candidacy.
Voters should be aware of one major change at the polls this year: they will now need to produce a photo ID to vote.
Acceptable IDs are: South Carolina drivers license, ID card issued by South Carolina DMV, voter registration card with photo, federal military ID or U.S. passport, according to the State Election Commission.

Wind: 3 mph
To The Editor:
For eight months now, many of us have been involved in the Act 250 process, trying to protect our neighborhood and Rochester from a large proposed rock quarry. All final arguments and rebuttals have been filed, and now we await the decision by the environmental commission.
All during this lengthy process, we have heard of how Kingsbury promises to be "a good neighbor." However, we have just received notification that Kingsbury plans to sidestep and avoid the local permit process, claiming that they have planning board permission for the project. We believe that the local process is important and, further, that trying to avoid it through stonewalling or legal technicality is not how a "good neighbor" behaves.
There is much trust involved in issuing a permit for something so powerful as a quarry. Will they conform to all conditions? Will they really limit the number of truck trips to 40 per day? Will they really keep the decibel level down to the limits they have promised? Will they faithfully mow and plow to maintain safe sight distance where the trucks will enter Route 100? The list of promises is huge! And so I ask the public and our town boards, is this the company that we want to trust? Or does this moving to avoid the local permit process show the "true colors" of Kingsbury?
Bill Gibson
Editor's Note: On February 7, 2007, the Rochester Planning Commission notified the applicants of the need for a conditional use permit for the project.

Courses: Introduction to Literary Analysis (WRPRH150B01)
Spring 2012
Intended like other sections of the Writing Program to advance students' critical reading and analytical writing skills, this course is geared specifically towards introducing students to the discipline that studies the literary traditions of the English language. One of its aims is to explore the broad range of thematic interests inherent in these traditions, sharing as they do common roots in the history of our language and its influences. The powers and limits of language; ideas of character and community, and the relation between person and place; heroic endeavor and the mystery of evil; loss and renovation these are among the themes to be tracked through various strategies of literary representation and interpretation in a variety of genres (epic, narrative, and poetry) and modes (realism, allegory, and romance), and across a range of historical periods. Our goal is to develop the vocabulary, skills, and knowledge necessary to understand not only how we decide what literary texts mean, but also how literary texts generate and contemplate meaning. For 2012-13: A. Bennett, "Reading Madness"; A. Boone, "Fatal System Error: When Literary Investigations Go Awry"; B. Riebling, "The Poetics of Power"; D. Sherman, "Memory: The Use(s) of the Past"; M. Shafer, "The Haunting & the Horrific: Memory & Identity in Tales of Ghosts & Monsters."
Prerequisites: Open only to members of the first-year class as assigned by the Director of College Writing.
Fulfills: HU FW Limit:15

Got questions? We've got answers. Read what eye care experts have to say about common CLEAR CARE® Solution questions.
How is CLEAR CARE® Solution different from multi-purpose solutions?
CLEAR CARE® Solution uses hydrogen peroxide to help prevent eye infections by killing harmful germs and bacteria on contact lenses. CLEAR CARE® Solution works with its special lens case to create a bubbling action which actively cleans and removes protein from your lenses so the lenses feel more comfortable.
How is CLEAR CARE® Solution different from other peroxide lens care solutions?
Other peroxide cleaners may look the same, but our exclusive cleaning formula, special case and unique platinum disc provides patients with sensitive eyes pristine clean lenses and gentle comfort.
Which peroxide lens care system do most eye care professionals recommend?
Recommended and proven for over a decade, CLEAR CARE® Solution is the #1 eye care professional-recommended peroxide lens care solution.1
Why do I have to use the lens case provided in the CLEAR CARE® Solution box?
Because there is no substitute. This lens case contains a unique neutralizing disc specially designed to neutralize CLEAR CARE® Solution. It converts this powerful cleaning and disinfecting solution into a gentle saline solution, much like your own tears.
Why is CLEAR CARE® Solution well suited for sensitive eyes?
After neutralization, lenses are left soaking in a gentle saline solution much like your own tears, versus other solutions, which may leave more residual chemicals. Remember that CLEAR CARE® Solution contains no added preservatives.
How can I be sure my contact lenses are clean enough?
CLEAR CARE® Solution has a proprietary formulation that features an active ingredient (a surfactant) with excellent lens surface cleaning properties. The peroxide in CLEAR CARE® Solution penetrates the lens to provide deep cleaning, removing even protein deposits and other foreign matter.
Can CLEAR CARE® Solution be used with all types of soft contact lenses?
Yes. CLEAR CARE® Solution is great for soft and gas permeable (GP) contact lenses. It's ideal for weekly and monthly silicone hydrogel lenses, including AIR OPTIX®, PureVision^ and ACUVUE^ brand contact lenses.
Is it OK to use CLEAR CARE® Solution on hard lenses?
CLEAR CARE® Solution is an ideal choice for soft and gas permeable (GP) contact lenses.
How long should I soak my lenses in CLEAR CARE® Solution?
At least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the bubbling action of CLEAR CARE® Solution to clean your lenses thoroughly and for the disinfectant in CLEAR CARE® Solution to become neutralized—creating a gentle saline solution, much like your own tears.
Why do I have to wait 6 hours before I can wear my contacts lenses again?
CLEAR CARE® Solution needs time to clean, disinfect and eventually neutralize to a gentle saline solution—making it safe to insert your lenses. If you don't wait 6 hours, and insert your lenses too early, you'll feel burning and stinging.
Can I rinse my lenses with CLEAR CARE® Solution before wearing them?
NO. CLEAR CARE® Solution must never be used to rinse lenses prior to insertion. Soak lenses in the special lens case for at least 6 hours prior to insertion. Otherwise, burning and stinging will result. If desired lenses can be rinsed with a sterile saline solution before inserting.
What should I do if CLEAR CARE® Solution mistakenly gets into my eyes straight from the bottle?
Immediately remove your lenses and flush (wash) your eyes with large amounts of water or sterile saline for a few minutes. If burning and/or irritation persist, seek assistance from an eye care professional.
Can I reuse CLEAR CARE® Solution?
No. After your lenses have been cleaned, discard any excess solution left in the case and allow the case and lens basket to air dry. Rinse lens cup and holder with fresh CLEAR CARE® Solution and allow to air dry.
How long can I store my lenses in a CLEAR CARE® Solution lens case?
You can store lenses in an unopened CLEAR CARE® Solution lens case for up to 7 days. After 7 days, discard the old solution and disinfect the lenses again.
When should I discard my CLEAR CARE® Solution lens case?
Always dispose of your CLEAR CARE® Solution lens case with each new purchase of CLEAR CARE® Solution. A fresh lens case is included FREE in each package of CLEAR CARE® Solution. Always use the new lens case when you open a new package.
Where can I find CLEAR CARE® Solution?
CLEAR CARE® Solution is available just about everywhere lens care products are sold. Look for CLEAR CARE® Solution at any local mass, drug, health or grocery retailer or online.
Does CLEAR CARE® Solution contain PHMB?
No. CLEAR CARE® Solution does not contain PHMB.

Midwest Living Review
The Henry A. Wallace Country Life Center is what many think of as the quintessential small family farm: simple white buildings, a charming garden and green fields all around. Not a lot on the property is original (the barn housing the Gathering Table restaurant was built in 2003), but care has been taken to ensure authenticity, and the location is on the National Register of Historic Places. Henry Wallace, often called the most influential Iowan of the 20th century, was born here in 1888. Through the course of his political career, he served as vice president of the United States, secretary of agriculture and secretary of commerce.
Visitors can tour a large vegetable garden supplying produce for farmers markets and an on-site restaurant. The gift shop carries crafts and artwork from local artisans, and the sculpture walking path lets wanderers view creations evoking the ethos of prairie life. Other features include a restored prairie, themed flower gardens and orchards. While a visit here may not provide thrills-a-minute entertainment, it does make for a relaxing country experience, especially if paired with a meal at the Gathering Table restaurant.
Self-guided tours offered daily; admission is free, but goodwill donations are welcome.

Question: can I return/refund my iPhone 4 bc of crappy antenna even if it has a cracked screen???
iOS 4 app updates: 1Password Pro, Dragon Dictation, BargainBin
Just a quick update on some freshly released iOS 4 goodness today. As you know, Ally has been watching the App Store for iOS4 compatible updates and if you guys find anything especially awesome, feel free to leave it in a comment or send it to her in an e-mail (ally (dot) kazmucha (at) tipb (dot) com) and if we think it's awesome too, we'll include it in our next roundup!
1Password Pro
If you're a 1Password desktop (Mac or Windows) user with a Dropbox account, 1Password Pro's latest version is nothing short of a revelation. Just open it up, log into your Dropbox account, and all your passwords and secure data are automagically synced to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch over the air (OTA). This is the big one. This is what all Todo, Notes, and every other app that should be everywhere needs to do, with every major online storage option. It's the future.
Oh, and it looks great on Retina Display and works great with iOS 4 fast app switching as well too.
(And yeah, there's even an Android version now for those who dual-wield).
[$14.99 - iTunes link]
Dragon Dictation
Sure, iOS 4 still lacks universal voice integration but luckily... wait for it... there are apps for that. Dragon Dictation is one of the big guns and it's just updated to include Facebook and Twitter support, send text to the clipboard and paste into SMS. It'll also be coming to the UK soon. (They've figured out brogue, apparently).
[Free - iTunes link]
App Advice's BargainBin lets you set a price for an app (including free) and then alerts you when the app drops to that price. So, for example, if you know holidays usually beget sales and there's a game that's been just a bit too expensive for your tastes, you set it up in BargainBin and if it drops to your sweet spot, you'll know about it and you can go get it. (And if you're cheeky enough to have set BargainBin itself to free, here's you're alert -- it'll cost you nothing for a limited time).
[Free on sale - iTunes link]

Reader comments
iOS 4 app updates: 1Password Pro, Dragon Dictation, BargainBin
Well, Apple said, and I quote
"If you are not completely satisfied with your iPhone 4, you can return your undamaged iPhone 4 to any Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. If you purchased your iPhone 4 from AT&T, you can also return it to an AT&T store."
so, no I don't think they'll take it but you can try! :)
Nope...just your mom!!!
Off topic - like the new look of the site (mobile). Not trying to attack you or anythig, but have you thought of moving away from the wordpress theme and design a mobile site that is entirely unique?
On topic - Dragon dictation is great to use and, from my experience, is incredibly accurate. DD did have a problem way back, in that it collected names from ones contact list and uploaded it to a server. Did they move away from that method?
I like Bargin Bin .. It wasnt ( updated for a long time).. It wouldnt work( it would freeze up and would not work at all )...
Now after the long awaited update it is working Great ... Its one of the must have apps IMO ....
I also like the free app tracker app ( works like Bargin Bin ).. Also pandora's box is a good one ..
I think I like Bargin Bin the best( now that it has been updated ), and is working as good as it used to ..
hey! how's it going, nice post!
Site looks nice on mobile very good yes!!!
i've been using lastpass instead of 1-password. tried both but imo think it's better for online; it's free, stores everything online so you don't need to store stuff in your dropbox. Works on every platform and every browser, has the ability to fill in you credit card details or store any information from. its has a secondary authentication process so that even if someone guesses your master password they can't log in.
@Andy You know you don't own an iPhone 4, so just shut it already!
I think i will pay for this phone,Although it's have some bug , it's not means it will be forever.
i live in china and iphone 4 is assemble in Foxconn factory of china.
the factory cost of 16Gb iphone 4 is only about $260. i had bought a 16GB Black and unlocked iphone 4 from http://www.trade-whole.com/apple-product-iphone-c-67_68.html . it's nice and work perfect.
For this phone and this price, it's worthly to buy one.
hi boch, can u tell me it's new and original iphone 4 fromhttp://www.trade-whole.com/apple-product-iphone-c-67_68.html
thank u very much
I was thinking about getting 1password but it doesn't seem to be working from what I have read in the agile forums. The windows desktop client does not seem to have anyway to sync with either dropbox or the iPhone over wifi. Is this true? Does anyone use 1password with windows 7? What is the experience like would you recommend it? Also I use chrome for my browser. I haven't been able to get the chrome extension to sync with the 1password desktop client. It seems like there are too many holes in using my setup in order to get 1passwprd working. Does anyone know of any work arounds I could use. Like could I import stuff from chrome into firefox and then sync to the 1password client. Does the 1password client sync to dropbox yet and I am just missing it?
Just got last pass I an pretty sure it is a better solution for me. It already has chrome and windows 7 support.

The heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) temperature control knob may be hard to turn. Mitsubishi Motors has released a service bulletin out outlining the necessary repairs. Repairs involve installing a new air blend door lever and link, lubing the blend door track, and installing a filter on top of the blower motor housing to prevent entry of dirt and debris. If the temperature control assembly has been damaged it will require replacement also.
Problems for specific Mitsubishi Outlander years:

Most reported Mitsubishi Outlander problems
HVAC Temperature Knob Hard to Turn
Erratic Blower Motor Operation Due to Failed Resistor and/or Fan Motor
Erratic HVAC blower motor operation may be caused by a failed blower motor and/or blower motor resistor. Our technicians tell us that if the blower motor resistor fails the blower motor should be checked. If the blower motor fails its functional test in should be replaced along with the failed blower motor resistor.
Engine Overheating Due to Failed Cooling Fan Controller
An engine overheating condition may develop due to a failed radiator cooling fan controller. The failed controller should be replaced to correct this issue.
AC Not Cold Due to Failed Pressure Switch
The AC may not blow cold air due to a failed pressure switch. A failed switch will require replacement to restore proper AC operation.
rusted front exhaust pipe
the exhaust system noise was due to a rusted and cracked flex section on the front "Y" pipe. Dealer cost for the pipe alone was over $350.00. I saved over $125.00 with an online warehouse.
No Start and/or Stalling Condition Due to Faulty Crankshaft Posiiton Sensor
The crankshaft position sensor may fail causing a stalling can/or no start condition. Replacing the faulty crankshaft position sensor should correct this condition.
The automatic transmission may fail prematurely
The automatic transmission may fail prematurely. Transmission overhaul or replacement may be necessary to correct this concern.
Check Engine Light due to code P0134 and/or P0154
The Check Engine Light may illuminate with a stored code P0134 and/or P0154. Our technicians tell us a powertrain control module (PCM) software update is available to correct this concern.
Check Engine Light Due to Code P0181
The Check Engine Light may illuminate with a stored code P0181. Our technicians tell us the fuel level sensor may be at fault requiring replacement.
The Clutch May Failure Prematurely
The clutch may fail prematurely requiring replacement. It has been recommended by some that a high quality aftermarket replacement clutch may provide increased longevity over a clutch purchased from the dealer.

I'm glad that there was an article written up about this app. Honestly, I've owned this app since it came out a while back and I was never really impressed with it. It seems like they've made vast improvements to the application over the years. I might download it again and re review it.
Mail Enhancer for jailbreak review
Get custom signatures, notifications, and highlights for iPhone Mail with Mail Enhancer for jailbreak
Mail Enhancer adds a great deal of extra functionality to your jailbroken iPhone, including the ability to set custom signatures for different accounts, tailored notifications, advanced mail sorting options, and account highlighting. If the stock version of iOS simply doesn't meet your needs, and you're looking for more and better functionality, give Mail Enhancer a try.
iOS lacks the ability to have more than one e-mail signature. (That's why we all see "Sent from my iPhone" so often.) If you have a different account for home and office, for example, you're forced to include the contact information for both and delete the inappropriate one each time, or neither, and enter it in manually on a case by case basis. If you remember. Mail Enhancer allows you to add as many mail signatures as you'd like. Not only can you set them per account, but you can take it one step further and also have separate signatures for composing, replying, and forwarding.
Mail Enhancer also has advanced notification controls built-in. You can set mail accounts as high priority and low priority and adjust notifications accordingly. For example, you can set up high priority email to use popup notifications but have them turned off for low priority email.
If you're the type of person that likes to view all of your e-mails in one thread, Mail Enhancer makes it easy to set highlight colors for each account. That way, even when you're viewing the unified inbox, you can still easily identify which account each email was sent to, without having to tap into each one individually. You can also add a bar to the top of your Mail app that allows you to easily toggle between all your messages and just unread messages.
Mail Enhancer is already available in Cydia, the jailbreak app store.

Mail Enhancer for jailbreak review
It does say ability?
Awesome nice find!! This works great on the iPad where my wife and I have all our accounts on one.
Great app. But when switching accounts to send an email it quits. You have to select the inbox you want to email from before so it does not quit. A little annoying. Otherwise amazing. HTML signatures, notifications, account highlights are great additions to name some. (running iOS 5.0.1 jailbroekne 4s 32 gb factory unlocked)
LOVE this app! Have had it for a week or two. The ability to set priorities for accounts and different notifications (including ringer volume) was what sold me on it. Definitely worth trying out.
The program has terrible issues, it crashes when you switch email accounts, sometimes it will just crash for no reason when sending a mail. If that isn't bad enough you have to restart the springboard when all your messages are blank, you cannot even disable / re enable it to retrieve the functionality. I would wait till all the bugs and sloppy programming is fixed and the author is more supportive in staying on top of the issues.
Hi There,Just checking if your planning a new update to this software, so far looks great and wondering if I wait and donate or purchase berryslider. Thanks!

- The strangeness signal in hadron production at relativistic energy (2003)
- Strangeness enhancement is discussed as a feature specific to relativistic nuclear collisions which create a fireball of strongly interacting matter at high energy density. At very high energy this is suggested to be partonic matter, but at lower energy it should consist of yet unknown hadronic degrees of freedom. The freeze-out of this high density state to a hadron gas can tell us about properties of fireball matter. The hadron gas at the instant of its formation captures conditions directly at the QCD phase boundary at top SPS and RHIC energy, chiefly the critical temperature and energy density.

text: The Nintendo Entertainment System wiki last edited by Jagged85 on 03/03/15 07:23PM View full history OverviewThe Nintendo Entertainment System logoThe Nintendo Entertainment System (often abbreviated as "NES," colloquially referred to as simply "Nintendo," and dubbed as the "Control Deck" on boxes and in documentation), also known as the Famicom, was Nintendo's second attempt to attract home consumers, following the modest success of the Color TV Game in Japan.In Japan and many other Asian countries, the NES was known as the Family Computer (or as it came to be later known, the Famicom); in some Asian countries, it was known as the Tata Famicom. It released in Japan in July 15, 1983, on the same day as Sega's SG-1000, which it beat with its technical superiority and stronger software library. The Famicom offered unrivalled technical power in its time for the lowest possible price, selling over 1.4 million units in its first year and establishing console gaming as a mainstream market in Japan, a country that was previously dominated by arcades and home computers (such as the PC-88, PC-98, FM-7, X1, and MSX).The 8-bit video game console was released by Nintendo as the NES in North America, Europe and Australia in 1985. After the North American video game market crash of 1983, the NES was the perfect revitalization. It went on to become the best-selling video game console of all time (up until the PlayStation). Some of the Hollywood stars at the time who owned the NES at the time included Michael J. Fox, Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, and Tom Cruise.The NES introduced many conventions that have become standard, including game controller layout, D-pad, third-party software licensing, and the business strategy of selling hardware at a loss and profiting from licensed software.HistoryA boxed NES Control Deck.After the success of the arcade game in the 1980s, Nintendo looked to Masayuki Uemura to design a cartridge-based home console. It was first released in Japan on July 15, 1983. Three launch titles were available: Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and Popeye. At first, the console was prone to crashes (due to a bad chip set). After a re-release with a new motherboard, the Famicom became incredibly popular.In an effort to enter the North American market, Nintendo negotiated with Atari to release the Famicom as the Nintendo Advanced Video Gaming System, but the deal didn't get off the ground. In June of 1985, Nintendo unveiled the North American version of the Famicom; the NES. On October 18, 1985, the NES was released, along with eighteen launch titles. Two boxed sets were released, the Deluxe Set (console, R.O.B., Zapper, two controllers, Duck Hunt, and Gyromite) and the Control Deck (console, two controllers and Super Mario Bros.).Nintendo had a hard time getting the NES sold, because most consumers thought video games were over with. They realized this and started marketing the NES as a toy instead of a video game. They packed in a light gun and a robot with the console and people started to pay attention. In December of 1985 Nintendo went to toy stores around New York City to try and sell the NES and said if the consoles don't sell they will buy them back. This gave Nintendo a foothold but they still needed to get the NES into the hands of more people.They contacted Worlds of Wonder, a toy company who made the two most popular toys in 1985, Lazer Tag and Teddy Ruxpin, and said if they can get Nintendo into the big department stores their toys are in they can have a percentage of Nintendo's sales. Worlds of Wonder agreed to this deal, so whenever a store called and wanted to order a toy, they would require that store to order 500 NES consoles. This is how Nintendo first got into the American market.The NES was an enormous success in Japan and North America, dominating the competition in both regions. In comparison to its considerable success in Japan and North America, however, the NES had much less success in Europe and South America, with Sega's Master System being significantly more successful than the NES in these regions. (Ref) ("Retroinspection: Master System", Retro Gamer, issue 44, pages 48–53)US Cumulative Sales1985: 90,000 (New York City) (ref) (ref)1986: 1,190,000 (+1,100,000) (73% market share)1987: 4,190,000 (+3,000,000) (70% market share)1988: 11,190,000 (+7,000,000) (85% market share)1989: 20,390,000 (+9,200,000) (80-90% market share)1990: 27,590,000 (+7,200,000) (90% market share)1991: 30,000,000 (ref)LicensingNintendo's seal of qualityNintendo's licensing techniques were both revolutionary and for a time, illegal. Nintendo had a veritable monopoly on the market at the time, so they encouraged developers to make games for their console. But, developers had to sign a contract stating they would only develop games for the NES. Also, a chip was instituted into the NES called the 10NES. If this same chip was not found in the cartridge, the game wouldn't load. Eventually, however, these business practices were ultimately outlawed.Despite Nintendo's efforts, unlicensed games were still created for the system. Designers found ways to bypass the 10NES chip. One such way was to short circuit the chip, temporarily ceasing its function. However, Atari Games created unlicensed software for the NES under the name Tengen. Tengen didn't want to be held liable for short-circuiting and possibly damaging the NES, so they devised a chip (nicknamed Rabbit) that disabled the 10NES chip. It was later discovered that their patent was acquired illegally, and thus, they were sued by Nintendo and lost.Launch GamesJapan - July 15, 1983Donkey KongDonkey Kong Jr.PopeyeNorth America - October 18, 198510 Yard FightBalloon FightBaseballClu Clu LandDonkey Kong Jr. MathDuck HuntExcitebikeGolfGyromiteHogan's AlleyIce ClimberKung FuMach RiderPinballStack-UpSuper Mario Bros.TennisWild GunmanWrecking CrewEurope - September 1, 198610-Yard FightBaseballClu Clu LandDonkey Kong Jr MathDuck HuntExcitebikeGolfGyromiteHogan's AlleyIce ClimberKung FuMach RiderPinballStack-upSuper Mario Bros.TennisWild GunmanWrecking CrewTechnical SpecificationsCPU: 8-bit microprocessor (by Ricoh, based on MOS Technology 6502 core) operating at 1.79MHz on NTSC systems and 1.66MHz on PAL systems.Memory: 2 kB main RAM (random-access memory), 2 kB video RAM, 49,128 bytes ROM (read-only memory)Video: Custom-made picture processing unit (by Ricoh) named RP2C02 (in NTSC models, operates at 5.37 MHz) and RP2C07 (in PAL models, operates at 5.32 MHz)Color palette of 53 colors (48 colors and 5 grays), 25 colors on one scanline64 sprites displayed on the screen simultaneously (sprites can be either 8 x 8 pixels or 8 x 16 pixels)Display resolution is 256 x 240 pixels (effective resolution of 256 x 224 pixels)Audio: Ricoh RP2A03 on NTSC systems and Ricoh RP2A07 on PAL systems. Has 5 separate audio channels. Two pulse-wave, one triangle-wave, one white-noise and one DPCM channel.NES-001 vs. NES-101The box of NES-101After the success of the NES, Nintendo introduced the NES-101, a new model, on October 15, 1993. Known as the top-loader, this version is nearly identical to the original model, but it has several key differences. The main difference, and the reason for its nickname, is the fact that cartridges are loaded into a slot on the top of the console, rather than through a tray at the front. It also sported a different color scheme and controllers, a redesigned logo, and modified circuit boards to improve the video output. NES-101 was known as HVC-101 in Japan, and was released on December 1, 1993.AccessoriesNintendo ZapperThe Zapper was a light gun that came bundled with the NES later on in its life span. The gun originally was gray, however to make it appear less threatening the zapper was later changed to orange. The Zapper is best known as the controller for playing Duck Hunt.NES AdvantageThe NES Advantage was an arcade stick for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was released to help ease the change form a traditional stick to the new idea of a D-pad. The advantage also functioned as a turbo controller.Power PadThe Power Pad was a specal controller released for Track and Field on the Nintendo Entertainment System.NES MaxThe NES Max was a popular controller because its built in turbo function was a new feature at the time.NES Four ScoreThe NES Four Score was a wired splitter that made it possible fore four players to simultaneously play on the NES. It offered options for turbo (for all connected players), and the ability to switch between two player and four player.R.O.B.R.O.B., an acronym for Robotic Operating Buddy, was the console's most infamous accessory. He was supposed to move colored discs to aid the player in compatible games, but he was so slow that it made gameplay almost impossible. Only two compatible games were ever released: Gyromite and Stack-Up.Clones and EmulationPlayChoice-10PlayChoice-10Nintendo also released the PlayChoice-10. The PlayChoice-10 was an arcade cabinet that contained full versions of ten NES games. This was to capitalize on the success of arcades at the time, as well as compete with Sega's arcade versions of the Sega Genesis and Sega Master System. In addition to Nintendo's own games, many third party games also appeared on the PlayChoice-10.EmulatorsJapanese FamulatorAfter the release of the NES a lot of companies made emulators for retro gamers. One example is the new release of the NES Emulator"Famulator" in Japan created by "Cyber Gadget". The Famulator is a slimmer, thinner, and lighter version of the original NES. Although the models look totally different the cartridges fit perfectly and run perfectly. The Famulator was priced 2,980 Japanese Yen, which adds up to roughly 30 American Dollars, creating a cheap and small NES for retro gamers. The Famulator comes with two controllers with the typical A & B buttons but an add on with AA & BB which are just double the speed of the regular A & B buttons. The Famulator also includes the normal cables for connection to a display.Sharp Famicom TwinSharp Famicom TwinSharp made their own version of the Famicom, which combines the Famicom and Famicom Disk System in one unit. The system comes in two colors. Red with black highlights and black with red highlights. They later released a Turbo version in black with green highlights and red with blue/grey highlights. The Famicom Twin was licensed by Nintendo and also contains most of the original hardware with few changes.PolyStationThe PolyStation was a unique clone released in China, designed to look like Sony's PlayStation, but emulate the NES's hardware. The PolyStation's packaging also falsely represented the product, showing screenshots from other consoles such as the SNES, the Genesis, or the PlayStation, or describing advanced features that the NES is not capable of doing. The console has appeared under a variety of names, and sometimes even includes packaged pirated games.DendyThe Dendy logoOne of the more popular clones of the NES, the Dendy rose to popularity in Eastern Europe in particular due to the fact that an official NES never made it to that region, and importation was expensive. Over two million Dendy consoles sold in Russia by 1996, many for under the equivalent of $50 USD. The Dendy differs slightly from the NES in terms of hardware, containing a slightly different chipset. There were several variations of the Dendy, such as Dendy Classic and Dendy Junior. Cartridges were typically bootleg versions of official games, or even compilations, and were similar in appearance to the Famicom cartridges.

Choreography is by Jonathan Tabbert.
The beautiful, period sets were built by Buchanan Arts, and, along with the lighting, and the young dancers in their creative costumes, together, they underscore the storys moods, and reflect the period.
The magic of winter sparkles and flirts with the audience, when the dancers turn into shooting stars and dancing flames.
Tickets: $20 adult and $10 child.
