The First Dog, whom we haven't spotted out for several weeks, kicked back on the South Lawn on Wednesday, when the high temperature in Washington was 99 degrees.
After a few minutes in the heat and humidity, the Portuguese water dog stopped looking excited and seemed ready for a nap.

The heat wave will continue through the week, so there won't be much hope for respite – for Bo or his human friends. There's central air in the White House, right?

Hill: -- Defense Secretary Rumsfeld here today. I think it reinforces the importance of the U.S. role in preserving peace and stability in this part of the world. What this conference is really all about is bringing together the countries of the region at a defense level to talk about mutual issues and problems and how we can work together to solve them. The overwhelming one, of course, is terrorism. [Inaudible] to discuss what we believe is being achieved in the last year, the challenges that [inaudible].
So Secretary, we're pleased that you have joined us here this year. From an Australian perspective we look forward to continuing to work with you.
Rumsfeld: Thank you very much, Senator Hill. I'm delighted to be here. I did have to miss the first two of these conferences so this is a particular pleasure. We've just had a good discussion on our bilateral relationships as well as the broader problem of terrorism in the world and the cooperative arrangements we have in the global war on terror, the counter-proliferation initiative, and certainly our activities in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Both of our countries have suffered losses through terrorist actions and we certainly share a common interest in bringing all elements of national power to bear on this very difficult problem for the civilized world.
Q: [Inaudible] get into the politics [inaudible] --
Rumsfeld: You're right. That was perceptive. [Laughter]
Q: [Inaudible]. How important [inaudible]?
Rumsfeld: You didn't hear what the President said?
Q: Well, we'd like you to say it.
Rumsfeld: I'll leave it to the President.
Q: Secretary Rumsfeld, could you respond to the [inaudible] what he said yesterday about wanting to get involved more actively in the [inaudible] against terrorism in this part of the world?
Rumsfeld: Not really. Other than to say that the problem of extremists using terrorism as a weapon of choice is truly global in scope. We've seen that with attacks in this part of the world as well as in almost every other corner of the globe. Because the terrorist networks are global and the financing is global, it is important that we have a very broad coalition of countries cooperating, sharing intelligence, sharing law enforcement information, working together to track down and prevent terrorist attacks before they occur.
Q: Mr. Secretary, [inaudible] has a reputation as [inaudible]. What [inaudible]?
Rumsfeld: I guess the fact is that since September 11th the United States working in other countries, the United Kingdom, Australia, some of the others, have fashioned one of the largest coalitions in the history of mankind, something in excess of 80 nations. The degree of cooperation that has taken place in the global war on terror has been amazing, if one thinks about it.
The problems that the world is facing, civilized societies are facing is extremists and radicals are attempting to attack civil societies and destroy innocent men, women, and children. That is a problem that no one nation can deal with alone. It's a problem that requires the cooperation of dozens and dozens and dozens of nations. The cooperation, for example, of 80 nations plus in the global war on terror coupled with I believe it's 32 or 33 nations cooperating in Iraq right now; I think it's 26 nations cooperating in Afghanistan, suggests that people who indicate or suggest the unilateral approach can't count.
Q: Secretary Rumsfeld, the President told Prime Minister Howard that the U.S. would review the treatment of Australians at Guantanamo Bay, to see whether they've been ill-treated. Can you give us a timeline for that, and do you know of any evidence that they have been mistreated by the U.S.?
Rumsfeld: I don't have any evidence that they have, but certainly the President is correct. That will be reviewed. And I hate to put timelines on things, but one would think it could be done [inaudible].
Q: Also there have been calls for more to be done [inaudible], short term. What more do you think needs to be done? Because on top of all the other initiatives [inaudible] for third country involvement along with [inaudible]?
Rumsfeld: I've read some reports that I'm told are quite inaccurate about that subject, and the only thing I can say is that I've visited with Admiral Dorn who's around here, and Admiral Fargo. There he is. If you want some detailed information he can provide it. But the initiative that is currently being discussed by Admiral Dorn and others with the countries in the region is something that's in its infancy and there certainly would not be anything take place that did not occur with the full cooperation of any relevant country. There's no -- Someone wrote things about territorial waters and all of that. That's just utter nonsense. Unfortunate nonsense. Maybe even mischievous nonsense.
Q: [Inaudible] policy around the world. Do you see any big changes in East Asia or even some [inaudible] in whether the U.S. is looking at repositioning itself around the world?
Rumsfeld: We're just in the, we've done a great deal of thinking about it and we have a set of concepts and principle and we're now working with our Congress and beginning the process of working with the countries of the world to find what makes sense from their standpoint.
We have several principles. One is we want to have our forces where people want them. We have no desire to be where we're not wanted.
Second, we don't want to be in a static defense mode. We want to be in a more agile arrangement where we're capable of using our capabilities in ways that will contribute to peace and stability in the world and not simply be stuck in a static position.
If you think about it, some of our forces are kind of where they were left over from the Cold War and where it was reasonably easy to know where a threat might come from. Today a threat can come from any number of directions, so we need to have the flexibility and the agility to do that.
Other things have changed as well. We certainly have, as a Pacific nation, we have an interest in this region, have for hundreds of years, and certainly we will maintain a capability here and close working relationships with our friends and allies.
Q: [Inaudible]?
Rumsfeld: I am so old-fashioned that I leave it to other countries to characterize what it is they would like to do with this rather than our country characterizing it.
Hill: Well, just now -- [Laughter]. The U.S. has kept us well informed of its thoughts and our interest has been that U.S. capabilities remain that can be provided in a different way now than was once the case provided the force projection capabilities continue to contribute to peace and stability in the region. Then we're satisfied. It's not for us to tell the U.S. how to do it. But if there are ways in which we can assist then we want to. The global super power obviously takes a primary responsibility. In this day and age we recognize that the U.S. can't do everything by itself and it's important for other states which share its values to play their part and carry a fair share of the load as well.
Q: So what additional commitments --
Rumsfeld: I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave. I'll leave you here to answer the rest of the questions. The meeting's going to start in a few minutes.
Hill: Thank you.

Product description
A fresh, urban twist on the classic tale of star-crossed lovers. When Brittany Ellis walks into chemistry class on the first day of senior year, she has no clue that her carefully created "perfect" life is about to unravel before her eyes. She's forced to be lab partners with Alex Fuentes, a gang member from the other side of town, and he is about to threaten everything she's worked so hard for--her flawless reputation, her relationship with her boyfriend, and the secret that her home life is anything but perfect. Alex is a bad boy and he knows it. So when he makes a bet with his friends to lure Brittany into his life, he thinks nothing of it. But soon Alex realizes Brittany is a real person with real problems, and suddenly the bet he made in arrogance turns into something much more. In a passionate story about looking beneath the surface, Simone Elkeles breaks through the stereotypes and barriers that threaten to keep Brittany and Alex apart.

By Ciera Meier 01 Nov 2014
This is an amazing book that shows star-crossed lovers. Two teens, one on the North side and the other on the south, are total opposites but chemistry brings them together. They are both have an image to live up to, whether they want to or not. Brittany always acts to be perfect but she's really not. None of her friends know her home life because she doesn't want people to know she's not perfect. Alex is a "tough guy" who's in a gang but only so his brother does not have to join. People think he's tough and everything, but he can be sensitive. They never associated until the day they were paired for chemistry lab partners. While they are paired they slowly start to have feeling for each other. Which will win, The stereotypes or their love for each other?
By MissPageTurner 07 Mar 2012
High-society girl Britanny Ellies and bad boy Alex Fuentes (is it only me or does just his name sound so sexy) are teamed-up to be chemistry lab partners, an explosive combination. Their meetings are hot, but do they have a future?
I feared that I wouldn't like Britanny's voice, that she could be a spoiled brat. Then there is Alex, the violent gang member who can't stay away from trouble, drugs and alcohol. Elkeles did a really good job in destroying these stereotypes and showing us the humans behind the shells created by society.
The main focus is on Alex and Britanny, but secondary characters like friends support the story,too. Both families and their backgrounds are important for the story and Elkeles knows how to build up tension while playing along with the American and Mexican cultures.
Each chapter is told from either Britanny's or Alex' perspective, both authentic and compelling. There was not a single page I didn't like. Dialogues are authentic, especially because the Spanish language that is an important part of Mexican culture is included.
My only point of criticism is the epilogue which was too much, it just didn't feel like a rightful part of PERFECT CHEMISTRY.
In the end I couldn't believe how much actually happened. Chemistry has never been my favourite subject in school, but this novel had definitely a strong influence on me.
A sexy experiment with contradictory characters and an explosive reaction. What an intriguing contemporary novel, an experiment you should start!
By TeensReadToo 16 Sep 2010
Who says that southsiders and northsiders can't mix? Well, other than everyone at Fairfield High School on the outskirts of Chicago.
Northsider Brittany Ellis has everything any teenager wants: popularity, money, and good looks. On the surface, her life is wonderful, but her perfect persona is just a cover-up for her troubled home life.
Southsider Alex Fuentes has a bad-boy reputation, but all he wants is to get out of his gang and graduate.
When they are thrown together as chemistry partners, life starts to make more sense. Written from both Brittany and Alex's perspective, this story shows what's going on below the surface for each person as they break through stereotypes and expectations that threaten to keep them apart.
This is like a modernized Shakespeare story, and after reading hundreds of books with plots similar to Romeo and Juliet, some stories start to blur into each other. PERFECT CHEMISTRY is not one of those books. It was addicting and the story was vibrant. The characters came to life and it was like I was there watching the story unfold.
The way Simone Elkeles wrote the story was absolutely perfect.
*Gold Star Award Winner!
By Amanda-Lee (StoryWings) 03 May 2010
I read this book in three hours, which is a new record for me, that is how good it is.
Perfect Chemistry is the perfect modern tale of star-crossed lovers. We've had Romeo & Juliet, Westside Story and now Perfect Chemistry.
Brittany is from the "right" side of the tracks. She lives in a big house, has perfect friends, perfect grades, is the perfect cheerleading captain and has a perfect family. Supposedly.
Brittany actually can't talk to half of her friends, has to study hard like everyone else, is getting over cheerleading and her family is a mess. Shelley is Brittany's older sister, and she has multiple-sclerosis, one of the main reasons that I loved Perfect Chemistry was the way Brittany treated her sister. No matter what Shelley did to her, Brittany still defended, loved and protected her, although her parents thought she was too much of a handful Brittany made sure that Shelley was as happy as possible.
Alex is from the "wrong" side of the tracks. He lives on the Latino side of town, is in a gang and works hard to help his family get by.
Alex is the ultimate bad boy at school, and everyone knows it. People refuse to look him in the eye others are scared to speak to him and most just avoid him altogether. There are rumours that he has killed dealt drugs and is in multiple knife fights with other gangs.
Alex is commendable in his behaviour. He doesn't want to be in the Latino Blood, but he is and once you get in, there is no getting out. Alex works hard throughout Perfect Chemistry to try and keep his younger brothers away from the gangs. He has strong family values and respects his mother, something we don't see too much in YA at the moment.
Brittany and Alex are in chemistry together, and clash from the beginning. There are constant pranks and jokes as they try to make the other stumble and look a fool. Once they put aside their differences though and see that although they are from different sides of the tracks, in a way they are the same.
Both live up to an image, both don't really want to be there and both would like someone to talk to.
Alex is originally dared to talk to Brittany on a bet. His motorcycle for his friend's car and seeing as Alex's motorcycle is like his baby, he will do anything to keep that from happening. The bet is that he can sleep with her before the end of school.
Inevitably though, they get to know each other. Through the constant bickering and name-calling they become friends. Alex teaches Brittany how to drive a manual, Brittany opens her life up to Alex and they get on, even though they are getting it from all sides, they stick together.
Perfect Chemistry is a beautiful tale, and no matter how much I say I love it, it won't be enough. If the teachers are smart in a few years this will be getting used in English classes because of its beautiful prose and modern take on a classic tale.

The Belvedere Vienna
ViennaVienna on the map
Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663-1736), successful general and art connoisseur, built the Belvedere garden palace as his summer residence. Today, the Belvedere is located in Vienna's fourth district, but at the time of its construction, the location was still outside of the city gates. The Belvedere is one of the most important Baroque buildings in Austria. It actually consists of two palaces (Upper and Lower Belvedere) and a stunning baroque garden in between. From the upper Belvedere, you can enjoy stunning views of Vienna's first district, which give the palace its name. Over the centuries, the palace complex has been home to many important personalities in Austria's history. Today it houses Austrian art from the Middle Ages to the present day.
The Upper Belvedere features the world's largest Klimt collection, with the golden paintings "The Kiss" and "Judith" as the highlights. Masterpieces by Schiele and Kokoschka, as well as works of French Impressionism and the Vienna Biedermeier era round out the exhibition. Prince Eugene's apartments and staterooms are located at the Lower Belvedere. The feudal splendor of the palace's aristocratic original owner is reflected in the Hall of Grotesques, the Marble Gallery, and the Golden Room. The Lower Belvedere and the Orangery are used mainly for temporary exhibitions, while the Palace Stables are now home to some 150 objects of sacred medieval art (Gothic triptychs, paintings, sculptures) that blend with the Baroque ambience in a compelling fashion. The Palace Gardens are unfolding in strict symmetry along a central axis to the prestige building of the Upper Belvedere and features beautiful sculptures, fountains and cascades.
The Belvedere was Prince Eugene's summer home, but during the cold season, he chose to reside at his Winter Palace in town. In October 2013, which marked Prince Eugene's 350th birthday, the state rooms in his winter residence have been assigned a new use and were officially opened as fourth exhibition venue of the Belvedere. The beautiful Baroque interiors now showcase the collections of the Belvedere as well as contemporary works of national and international artists. And last but not least, the iconic 21er Haus just steps away from the Upper Belvedere shows Austrian contemporary art.

In Captivate 5 Essential Training, author James Lockman demonstrates the core features of Captivate 5, the popular tool for authoring e-learning content such as interactive presentations, click-through simulations, and customized assessments. He shows how to import and sync PowerPoint presentations, add interactivity, and incorporate audio, video, and voiceovers. The course also includes tutorials on assessment reporting and integrating with SCORM-compliant learning management systems. Exercise files accompany the course.
In this chapter, we're going to talk about managing our quiz results. When we build a quiz in Captivate, the objective usually isn't just to allow the learner to take a quiz and see how they did. We want to know after the fact whether or not they were able to do the assessment and get it right. In order to do that, we've got to connect the quiz to a learning management system. That learning management system may be something that you already own as part of your HR department. It may be something that you're looking to purchase to be used in your HR apartment, or if you're a smaller company or an individual you may be looking for a solution that doesn't involve a large IT infrastructure.
In all cases a learning management system is designed to capture results from assessments and then organize them in a way that makes it possible for you to analyze after the fact. When you're building your quiz in Captivate it's important to ensure that all of the quiz elements are properly identified. This will make it much easier for you to understand the results when you're looking at those results in your learning management system. If you have multiple quizzes that you're using, ensure that each one has a unique name.
Captivate will automatically call each quiz Quiz. This can get very confusing when you're looking at 17 quizzes called Quiz in the learning management system. Once you've got your quiz properly identified, then we can establish how we are going to report those results to the learning management system. We'll look at that in the next lesson.

Along with classical music, the Spoleto Festival brings celebrity, energy and passion to Charleston.
But a drop in crime?
Paris is one the most recent cities to announce that it will begin piping classical music into its commuter train stations. The reason the city gives is that "travelers appreciate the atmosphere that makes the most serene and pleasant stations."
But there's a contrapuntal subplot: Classical music is supposed to chase off vagrants.
Apparently they don't like Mozart. Their loss.
So it should stand to reason that as artists perform music all around Charleston, and in North Charleston and Mount Pleasant, both inside and outside, local vagrants are going to seek quieter spaces — or spaces where music is not of the classical persuasion.
But even panhandlers who like Vivaldi and Beethoven are less likely to hang around downtown when the festival is here.
Charleston municipal judges have been known to instruct those who appear before them to disappear until the festival is over.
More reason to celebrate the Spoleto Festival.

By TIM DAHLBERG
(AP) ARDMORE, Pa. - History says Tiger Woods has little chance to win this U.S. Open. Not from behind, and certainly not with an elbow inflammation that seems to bother him most on his worst shots.
Woods says otherwise, and after a marathon stretch of play Friday that helped him creep into contention at Merion Golf Club it's still possible he could be the one having the last say.
Trying to break a winless streak in major championships that now spans five full years, Woods played 25-plus holes in a respectable 1-over 70 to move up the leaderboard on a day when many other players were going the other way.
It wasn't good enough to get under par, or even crack the top 10. But he was just four shots back and in prime position to make a move over the weekend on an Open course that is playing much tougher than a lot of people expected.
Asked if he liked his chances, Woods didn't hesitate to answer, "Yes."
Woods had some issues on a day that began for him in the early morning and didn't finish until midafternoon. He missed some putts he might ordinarily expect to make, barely moved a chip a few inches forward, and guessed wrong on a couple of shots.
But that's U.S. Open golf, and the best player in the world stood at 3-over 143 after two rounds _ the same as playing partner and budding buddy Rory McIlroy.
"I just made a couple of mistakes out there today, but I really played well," Woods said. "Maybe I could have gotten one or two more out of it, but it was a pretty good day."
The night before, Woods underwent some treatment on his left elbow, which he shook several times after hitting bad shots in the first 11 holes of a rain-delayed round. He said he hurt the elbow at the Players Championship and that it was painful at times, though on his good shots it didn't seem to bother him at all.
"It is what it is," Woods said.
McIlroy said he didn't even notice Woods was having difficulty with the elbow.
"I haven't seen anything wrong with him," McIlroy said after finishing with his own 73-70.
More worrisome than the elbow for Woods might be the fact he's never won a tournament after playing over par for the first two rounds. He's also never won a major championship coming from behind in the final round.
And then there's that winless streak in major championships that now stretches back to the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.
But while Woods remains stuck at 14 in his chase of the record of 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus, it doesn't mean he's forgotten how to win in conditions favored at the Open.
"Just keep grinding," he said. "You don't ever know what the winning score is going to be. You don't know if the guys are going to come back. We have a long way to go, and these conditions aren't going to get any easier."
The conditions Friday were challenging enough, though Woods and McIlroy got the better of the weather. For the most part, they avoided winds that started to pick up in the afternoon as the rain-saturated course began drying out.
The two are the main golf stars for Nike and have become increasingly friendly over the past few years, though they are 13 years apart in age. Woods has 12 more major titles than McIlroy, but the star from Northern Ireland has won his two during Woods' winless drought.
McIlroy said he and Woods chatted during the round, though both tried to keep focused on the task at hand. After missing a final birdie putt on their last hole, the 10th, McIlroy told Woods that he was trying to make the putt so he didn't have to play with Woods on Saturday.
"So he's got the pleasure of playing with me," McIlroy said. "But, no, we had a good laugh out there and just because it's the U.S. Open doesn't mean anything."
McIlroy, the 2011 Open champion at Congressional who has struggled this year after switching to Nike equipment, had his moments, including an iron shot to the eighth hole that gave him a tap-in birdie and put him under par for the day. But he gave it back on the next hole and had to hit a great shot out of the deep rough on his final hole to finish off his even par second round.
The kind of challenge Merion has been so far was reflected in the score of both players. They made six birdies apiece during the first two rounds, but both also made nine bogeys _ an average of one in every four holes.
"It tests every aspect of your game," McIlroy said, referring to Merion. "You've got to drive it well. Where these pins are, you got to hit great iron shots. You got to be very tactical. You got to be mentally really well there and have a good game plan."
Like Woods, McIlroy was comfortable with where he was midway through the championship.
"There were people talking about 62s and 63s at the start of the week and, I mean, I never saw that at all," he said. "I still think that something very little under par is going to win this week. If or if not that, around even par."

Last night we launched the Elusive Images Christmas range of stamps at Graphicus – you can see the full range on the Elusive Images blog. It was an exclusive invitation only event and we had a lovely group of ladies who turned up and enjoyed David's turkey sandwiches and mince pies while seeing all the new stock that has been arriving in the shop from America this week.
Lynn and I were demonstrating, though I hardly got a chance to because nearly every single person there wanted to know how I had made this little piece of artwork here. Well after I had explained the first time, there was some consternation that the latest must have craft gadget costs somewhere between £5,600 and £11,000 depending which model you require. However, fear not, we have canny customers at Graphicus. Someone pointed out that if you don't happen to have an Aga in your kitchen, you could use an upturned iron. Well, ya know, I'm a stickler for quality, so I reckon you really should start saving for a craft Aga myself. I'm thinking of having talks with their executive board and getting them to bring out a duck egg blue and chocolate one, or better yet, one covered in an Artylicious design – like 'her hammer'!! We wouldn't be able to do free shipping though, not even to Guild members, sorry!
Anyway, how I arrived at this finished piece was a bit of a long story, so in the end, Adrian videoed me talking about it. It curled very badly and has been in the book press for about three weeks and I almost forgot about it. I'm pleased I managed to get this photo of it today in a brief moment of sunshine, it really shows off the perfect pearls on it.
I would love to show you the video, but it would seem that Adrian was so excited when he bought the new video camera a while ago, he forgot to get a lead that actually connects it to the computer. So we'll have to wait for Mr Amazon to deliver a lead before we can download the footage and see if there's anything actually usable!

1989 Copper Bowl Recap
Arizona 17 • NC State 10
The inaugural Copper Bowl saw the Arizona Wildcats survive a defensive struggle, with the Cats posting a 17-10 victory at Arizona Stadium.
In the opening quarter, NC State had a pair of scoring opportunities go awry. On NCSU's first possession, the Wolfpack drove to the Arizona 33-yard line, but the march stalled and Damon Hartman's 50-yard field goal attempt was off the mark. Later in the quarter, State's Ray Agnew recovered a Wildcat fumble at the UA 33. The Pack moved inside the 10-yard line, but an Anthony Barbour fumble ended the threat at the four-yard line.
The scoreless tie was finally broken with 2:00 remaining in the period when Arizona quarterback Ronald Veal connected with Olatide Ogunfiditimi on a 37-yard touchdown pass play.
Midway through the second quarter State was once again bitten by a key turnover. The Pack had the ball at the Arizona 17, but Shane Montgomery's third-down pass was intercepted by Scott Geyer, and the Wildcat defender raced 85 yards for a touchdown and 14-0 Arizona lead.
State finally scored following a Wildcat fumble, which Fernandus Vinson recovered at the Arizona 44-yard line. Montgomery used nine plays to move the Pack into the end zone, with the senior signal-caller hitting fullback Todd Varn with a four-yard scoring pass to cap the drive.
Arizona took the ensuing kickoff with just 1:55 remaining in the half, but the Cats made the most of the time. Veal directed his unit downfield with the clock winding down, and Gary Coston booted a 34-yard field goal with l4 seconds left for a 17-7 Arizona halftime advantage.
The 2nd half was dominated by the NCSU defense, with Arizona gaining just 36 yards in the half. However, State was unable to generate enough offense to catch the Cats.
The Pack put together an impressive surge in the third quarter, when Montgomery guided the Pack on a 62-yard march that concluded with a 43-yard field goal by Hartman. NCSU would carry the ball into Wildcat territory three more times in the final minutes of the game, but State failed to produce points and Arizona held on for the win.
UA Ogunfiditimi 37 pass from Veal (Coston kick)
UA Geyer 85 interception return (Coston kick)
NCSU Varn 4 pass from Montgomery (Hartman kick)
UA Coston 34 FG
NCSU Hartman 43 FG

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Joel firstname.lastname@example.com After spending more than 20 years teaching Tai Chi, Wing Chun, Hung Gar, and other forms of Chinese martial arts throughout the South, Frank Roper has brought his skills to the Southern Crescent, in hopes of combating stress, diabetes, and other cardiovascular diseases affecting the area. Roper, who is currently the ranking master in the Chung Chan style of Wing Chun boxing, opened the Roper School of Martial Arts this week in Jonesboro. The modestly sized studio is located at 8160 Tara Blvd., inside the Jonesboro Shopping Center. Roper, who specializes in the Chen style of Tai Chi, said the martial art, which is viewed by many as a recreational form of meditation, was actually once used by Chinese generals to defend their territory. He said he wants to promote the healing power of Tai Chi throughout the county. "I'm trying to promote the health aspect, even though I know the combat part of it, because we need it ... they need Tai Chi in this area," said Roper. Living in Clayton County since last September, he said he has observed a high number of people with poor eyesight, failing kidneys, and diabetes, and other medical issues associated with unhealthy lifestyles. "A lot of these areas are damaged because of poor circulation and Tai Chi increases circulation," said Roper. "If we have more circulation, then we have more to fight with to stay alive." Since the age of six, Roper said he has studied martial arts with many teachers, but only refers to one affectionately as "sifu" (master). For many years, Roper studied with martial artist, Chen Zhongchuan, in Clearwater, Fla., who challenged him and inspired him to stay healthy. Roper said Master Chen, who presently lives in Shanghai, China, is still very spry, despite the fact that he is in his late eighties. "I haven't seen anybody who can match his skill as far as combat is concerned," said Roper. "He was an 80-year-old man, who was still leaping and kicking, and that inspired me a lot." Marion Webb, Roper's sister and a long-time resident of the metro Atlanta area, owns the business while Roper serves as the center's master instructor. Several months ago, she began studying Tai Chi under her brother, and believes it can be helpful to others. "I'm the ultimate type A," said Webb. "I recognize the need to have some other form of stress relief. "I have trouble sleeping at night, because my mind is always going," said Webb. "Through the relaxation techniques, I am able to calm my mind. I'm able to get a good night's sleep now without things always churning in my head." Bill Fielder, a broadcast executive who resides in Cumming, Ga., said he has been a student of Roper's since 1995, when Roper was teaching in Albany, Ga. Now that Roper is teaching in Clayton County, Fielder said he commutes every Saturday from Cumming to train. "I drive two hours on Saturdays to go and visit," said Fielder. "That's a long drive for a work out. I don't think that there is anybody else in the metro area who excels in his skill set and abilities, and I have looked around for a long time." Fielder said prior to training with Roper, he was in "pitiful health," but can now run two miles in sand dunes and move for five hours without stopping. "He doesn't mind if you're a clean sheet with no skills and no stamina," said Fielder. "Frank's approach to his training is growth at any level ... that's probably where he excels." For more information, call (770) 896-9692, or go to www.ropersmartialarts.com.

Preview: New Student Orientation
"Every journey begins with a first step."
And for incoming first year students, UVM's New Student Orientation serves as that first step toward beginning college and embarking on a personal and intellectual adventure of a lifetime. The three days in June will literally provide incoming first year students with the information they will need to survive and thrive during the first year on campus. The sessions are jam-packed, and they include academic advising, housing and meal plan selection.
For new Honors College members, orientation is geared toward getting to know the other students, faculty and staff they will be working with during their next four years. This process starts the evening before the official start of orientation; incoming Honors College students are invited to have dinner with Honors College Dean Abu Rizvi, while parents can participate in a welcome reception and information session with Honors College staff. Students will then have the chance to meet their new classmates that evening before the official start of orientation the next morning.
While the majority of orientation is dedicated to selecting classes, finding a room and figuring out food options on campus, students will also have a chance to explore different opportunities that they may choose to engage in during their four years. Study abroad advisers will be on hand to help students think about how a semester or a year in a different country fits into their academic plans. Career counselors will be on hand to discuss various jobs and internships that will enable students to gain valuable working experience. Students interested in getting in a lab or working in the field will have the chance to learn about undergraduate research on campus, and students interested in national scholarship and fellowship opportunities will get to learn how the application process works.
But orientation is not all work. Various clubs, activities and student life organizations will also be available to talk to students about how to become an active and engaged member of the UVM community. And student orientation leaders will be there throughout the three days answering questions, telling stories, sharing laughs, and working toward making University Heights North start to feel like a home.
Orientation sessions will be taking place throughout June, but not all sessions will include the Honors College pre-orientation events. For more information on which orientation session is right for you or your student, go here.

How to connect iPhone to Wi-Fi
If you are a noob and do not know yet how to connect your new iPhone to Wi-Fi in order to connect the Internet there is no need to panic thinking it is a hard thing to do. No matter if you use a tiered plan for your iPhone or 3G seems to be better than Wi-Fi (although Wi-Fi work s few times faster) these tips can be useful when you need to find a Wi-Fi hotspot and to use the Internet in a public place – an airport, café, street, etc.
Wi-Fi connection settings may slightly differ depending on the version of your iPhone or iPod Touch (NB: on an iPad they look more than a bit different) but in general you are to do the following to connect your phone to the Internet via Wi-Fi:
1. Tap the Settings menu from your Home screen (beforehand make sure that Wi-Fi is available in your current area).
2. You will see the Wi-Fi settings menu, you need to tap it and then check on the accessible networks under the line "Choose a Network".
3. Think and tap the network to use if there are few of them.
4. If you are using Wi-Fi in a public place you will probably require entering a password first before starting to use it for the Internet connection.
An advanced tip: if you are using a corporate Wi-Fi network like in Starbucks or an airport you may be asked to agree to the terms of services or enter an account login before getting an access to their Wi-Fi service. If you are not sure what to type ask an employer or a manager to help you.

Cruyff, one of the most influential coaches in football history for his exploits and more importantly legacy at Barcelona, says that Mourinho misses crucial details that he would understand if he'd played the game. Cruyff and Mourinho's football philosophies could not be more different.
"Mourinho is a very good Coach," Cruyff told Cadena Cope. "But he has never played, so he's missing something – and it shows.
"Those who have played notice it in the details, but that does not mean that he's not a good Coach.
"Things have become a bit confused recently. Madrid in the two games [against Barca] were between life and death. Barca meanwhile have already justified their position."

Some medical issues or surgeries require intensive rehabilitation after a hospital stay in order to maximize one's independence and safety prior to returning home. The acute rehab facility at Missouri Baptist Medical Center offers the most intense, comprehensive and individualized plan, helping you achieve your goals faster. We work to identify your specific rehab needs, establishing patient-centered goals and a treatment program that is constantly working to achieve those goals.
Our facility, conveniently located within the Missouri Baptist main campus, was specifically designed to offer personal one-on-one care in an intimate, comfortable setting. The intimacy of our rehab setting allows for consistency in your care. This consistency ensures that everyone is focused on your specific needs, helping you achieve your goals sooner.
The team is led by a physiatrist, a physician specializing in physical medicine, rehabilitation, and pain management, who oversees your therapy and medical care. While in acute rehab, you are expected to participate in three hours of daily therapy, including physical therapy and occupational therapy with speech therapy as needed. Because rehabilitation is a 24-hour process, the skills learned in therapy are followed through by nursing while in your room. The team works with you and your family to develop a program of care that maximizes your functional abilities. Each day you will have a schedule outlining your therapy sessions in both the morning and afternoon. Knowing your daily schedule ahead of time will allow you to plan your day and family visits around your therapy schedule.
You and your Family — You are the center of the rehab team. You are expected to take an active part in your rehabilitation by assisting your therapists in setting goals that reflect your interests and needs. Your friends/family also will play an integral role in your recovery as we work towards your discharge. Friends and family may be trained on specific techniques and exercises to help you continue your rehabilitation as you transition to home.
Physical Therapy — Physical therapists are licensed professionals trained in providing therapeutic interventions that help restore function, relieve pain, improve mobility and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities. Physical therapists focus on lower extremity strengthening, balance and transfer training, bed mobility, gross motor and coordination skill, and walking or wheelchair propulsion to improve your independence and safety.
Occupational Therapy — Occupational therapists are licensed professionals whose training allows them to modify tasks or the environment to promote maximum independence during the performance of life's daily activities. Occupational therapists address all areas of improving self-care skills including bathing, toileting, dressing, grooming and eating. They also focus on reasoning and problem-solving abilities, fine motor skills, and upper extremity strengthening to help increase independence with these daily tasks.
Speech Therapy — Our licensed speech language pathologists specialize in improving communication, cognitive and reasoning skills, and decision-making abilities. They also diagnose and treat swallowing disorders and work with your physicians and dietitians to recommend the proper diet for optimal functioning.
Physiatrist — Upon admission to the Inpatient Rehabilitation program you will be under the care of a physician who specializes in rehabilitation who coordinates your care with the other members of the rehab team. A physiatrist is present daily to address your needs, coordinate your care and communicate with other physicians as needed.
Other Physicians — Because we are on the Missouri Baptist Medical Center campus, your Missouri Baptist physician(s) are able to follow your care while you are in rehab.
Nursing Staff — Caring for you 24/7, the nursing staff is registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and patient care techs specially trained to help you use your current abilities and the new skills learned in therapy to achieve maximum independence.
Care Coordination — Your social worker will follow you throughout your stay in rehab. They provide support to you and your family during the transition back home. This includes providing information and planning assistance with community resources, agency referrals, emotional support and counseling, skilled nursing and long-term care placements as needed. They also can help with insurance certification and coverage concerns.
Food Services — After admission to the Inpatient Rehabilitation program, a catering associate will visit daily to discuss menu options, following the dietary recommendations made by your doctor. A registered dietitian also may assist by assessing your nutritional needs and providing educational materials.
Other Specialty Services — Based on individual patient needs.
I spent the entire month of February 2009 in acute rehab at Missouri Baptist. After my stroke everything was an ordeal, even putting on my socks! When I first arrived in rehab I couldn't walk, swallow, talk, or dress myself. It's depressing because you don't know how it will all turn out, but the therapists were so positive and they gave me hope.
I was in rehab for about a month but I can honestly say it was a great experience! My family has a Valentine's Day tradition of getting together for a big meal including my wife's special heart shaped meatloaf. My speech therapist, Mark, came in on his day off to help set up the conference room with chairs and to help my family set up decorations to surprise me. By this time in my rehab my appetite wasn't that great and I had lost 60lbs but having my family close to me and keeping our Valentine's day tradition alive really made me feel at home. I ate EVERY BITE of that meal!
I really wanted to still do something special for my wife even though I couldn't be at home with her. My occupational therapist came up with the idea of asking my wife to bring in my wallet so we could work on money management tasks during therapy. Then during my speech therapy time we worked on using the computer to order my wife a bouquet of flowers for Valentine's Day. I was her hero for about 24 hours!
The staff on acute rehab was amazing. From the nurses, physicians, social workers, therapists and everyone else I came into contact with, they were all very patient, tolerant, and supportive. They gave me confidence and hope and they gave me my life back. I walked out of rehab with only a cane, able to talk, and confident that my life was back on track!"

Check Out The Titanfall Limited Edition Xbox One Controller
Mech It Mine
To celebrate the launch of Titanfall on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC, Microsoft has announced a Titanfall limited edition Xbox One controller. And it looks pretty snazzy.
The limited edition controller will be available in the UK just in time for the launch of Titanfall on March 14, 2014, and will be sold exclusively at GAME for £44.99, the same price as the standard Xbox One pad.
"In a collaborative effort with the Xbox design team and the Respawn art department our goal was to create a controller that feels as if it is a piece of military spec hardware transported from the universe of Titanfall and into players hands," explained Joel Emslie, Lead Artist at Respawn Entertainment.
Xbox Live's "Major Nelson" showed off the new controller in a Vine video, below.

These cinnamon rolls are Norwegian favourites and you can get them everywhere. The typical taste of these milk rolls comes from cardamom, a spice loved in Scandinavia. The filling is enriched with apple puree, thus the cinnamon rolls are fluffy and moist.
For the dough:
300 ml milk, warm
2 tsp dried yeast
50 g sugar
500 g plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
75 g butter, melted
1 tsp ground cardamom
For kanelboller:
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp butter, melted
3 tbsp apple puree
- First make a starter dough as follows: heat the milk until lukewarm and pour in yeast and 1 tsp sugar and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Mix flour, remaining sugar, butter, cardamom, salt and starter dough and knead it up to 5 minutes until firm but soft. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for about an hour until it rises considerably.
- For kanelboller: Cover your working space with cling foil and roll out the dough about 2 cm thick on it (40cm x 30cm). Mix sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl. Now brush the melted butter onto the dough, spread the apple puree evenly on the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Then start rolling the dough from the broader site with help of the cling foil until you have a big long roll. Cut about 2 cm thick pieces and place these with one cut surface up. Leave these to rest until considerably risen again.
- In the meanwhile heat the oven to 225ºC. Bake the whirls for about 10-15 minutes until golden. Enjoy it with your favourite hot drink! Afiyet olsun!

You're playing some of the biggest festivals in the heavy metal scene this year. Do you think it's a peak for the band?
You know, I heard the other day about a festival we're doing where it's Aerosmith headlining Friday, Soulfly headlining Saturday and KISS headlining Sunday. I was like "What the fuck?" you know and "How the fuck do we get Saturday?" That kind of fucked me up because it made me think "Maybe this IS the top", you know? Aerosmith last night and KISS tomorrow. I was like "Wow".
Do you prefer playing festival shows or indoor headlining shows in more intimate scenarios?
It's the best of both worlds, really. It's really good food usually at the bigger festivals and you can fuckin' hang out with your friends and see good music all day, as opposed to today where it's just us and one band opening. So it's kinda like "Yeah, fuckin' boring, I'm gonna go walk around all day". That's the other good thing, you can't go and walk around all day at a festival, but here in London I can just hit the streets and do whatever. So they both have perks, man. I like our own shows because they can go on as long as they have to as long as it's cool and there's so many time constraints at a festival that you don't really get to do that kind of shit.
Your new album features guest appearances from Tommy Victor (Prong) and Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan). How has it been to work with those guys?
I LOVE Prong, I've always said it. I think Prong is a great band. Tommy Victor is a guy after my own self; he plays with everybody and just makes records. He's toured with Ministry, Prong and fuckin' Danzig. I do the same fuckin' thing, so me and Tommy just totally hit it off and clicked and we got him to do 2 consecutive tours in the states with Soulfly; which has never happened before. I don't push for much, but I was like "fuck, I love watching Prong every fuckin' night".
Are they people you've always known as friends or just something that happened from you getting in contact?
I've known Tommy, not on a personal level but in a kind of passing musician way, for years. When I wasn't doing anything one time and he wasn't either he was like "What's going on? Maybe we could do something sometime…" and I was like "Well, I've got a call. I'm gonna go play in Soulfly". Greg was the same way. Max met him at a benefit for Chi (ex-Deftones) in Los Angeles when we were making the record. The Deftones did a show there to raise money for his hospital bills and Max met Greg there. He saw Greg do his thing and he was in the studio the next day.
Max recruited a new line-up including you at the end of 2003. Do you all get on as a band?
Soulfly is its own monster. We actually did our very first interview with the 4 of us in the same room in New York City on the last tour; we didn't even realise this. The radio DJ was like "You know, I asked for all 4 of you and I got all 4 of you. But I wanna tell you something: this is the first time that the 4 band members of Soulfly, the longest band of Soulfly, have been in the same room at the same time". I mean, I don't know if that's a bad thing, it's just the way we've always been. I do my thing all day long, and then I see the guys on stage. I take it that they do the same thing.
Do you have much creative input in the writing process yourself, or is it something that's mainly left to Max?
Yes. We'll always meet up at the studio with Max. We never practice or jam or anything; we fly out to Europe or America or wherever and start to tour. We make a record the same way. We meet up at the studio, Max will come in with about 4-5 CDs of jams and rough demos of songs and we'll go through them and be like "Yeah, that one's cool, this one's cool, we'll do that there" and we all just start jamming in a room. We all have the freedom to do our own thing; Mark gets to play his guitar parts, I get to play my bass parts.

Abrasive properties of co-fused alumina zirconia are improved by the addition of from 0.1 to 2% of Y2 O3 to the fusion mix and quenching the fused product. Y2 O3 ores containing mostly Y2 O3 with lesser amounts of rare earth oxides can be substituted for high purity Y2 O3.
1. Fused alumina/zirconia near eutectic abrasive grits with 0.1 to 2.0% by weight of yttrium oxide calculated at Y2 O3, and having a maximum spacing of zirconia rods of 4,000 Angstroms, as measured at the eutectic cell centers.
2. An abrasive material as in claim 1 in which the yttrium oxide content is from 0.4 to 0.7%.
3. A coated abrasive sheet material having the abrasive grits of claim 1 bonded to at least one side thereof.
4. A grinding wheel having the abrasive grits of claim 1 bonded thereon by an organic resin matrix.
This invention relates to co-fused alumina zirconia abrasives.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,891,408 discloses co-fused alumina zirconia abrasives of eutectic and near eutectic composition (35-50% zirconia), particularly suitable for low and moderate pressure grinding for which the previously known alumina-ziconia abrasives were not most useful.
The present invention is an improvement over the abrasive disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,891,408, which improvement has been found particularly useful in improving the performance of coated abrasive products.
The invention consists in an alumina-zirconia abrasive product of eutectic or near eutectic composition, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,891,408, but differing from such abrasive in the inclusion of from 0.1 to 2.0 weight percent of yttrium oxide, calculated as Y2 O3. The abrasive is made by fusing alumina, zirconia, and Y2 O3 or a precursor thereof in an arc furnace as, for example, taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,891,408.
The fusion is preferably conducted, at least at the time the fused product to be poured into molds to rapidly chill it, under slightly reducing conditions so that some reduction products such as suboxides, carbides, nitrides, carbonitrides, oxynitrides, or even some elemental metal, are present in small but discernable amounts. The product thus has a black appearance, with sometimes visible gold metallic areas, rather than having a light colored or whitish appearance. The presence of such partially reduced material can also be demonstrated by the presence of a few tenths of a percent by weight of nitrogen and carbon, and by a weight gain upon forced oxidation of 3% or less.
It is essential that the product be rapidly chilled from the molten state so that a fine crystal structure is produced, as described in prior U.S. Pat. No. 3,891,408, whereby the average rod spacing at the center of eutectic colonies is less than 4000 Angstroms.
To ensure reducing conditions readily oxidizeable material such as carbon or aluminum or zirconium metal may be added just before the pouring of the melt into the chilling molds.
After cooling, the product is crushed, for example, by a roll crusher, and screened and separated into useable size portions of abrasive grits. The grits may then be applied to prepared flexible backings to produce coated abrasive products in any conventional manner well known in the art.
The effect of the addition of Y2 O3 to the fusion is believed to be to lower the content of monoclinic zirconia thus minimizing cracking due to the phase transformation (tetragonal to monoclinic). This results in high hardness.
A 3,430 pound batch containing the following materials was prepared:
______________________________________Q5A10 Zirconia 34%Alumina 35%Scrap alumina-zirconia (fused) 15%Oversize alumina-zirconia (fused) 15%Coal 1%______________________________________
Typical analysis of the Q5A10 zirconia is as follows:
______________________________________ SiO2 5.22 Fe2 O3 0.12 TiO2 0.51 Al2 O3 10.98 ZrO2 82.97 CaO 0.09 MgO 0.02______________________________________
The mixture was fused in the electric arc furnace in the conventional manner. After start-up feed of the mix was completed in 15 minutes, fusion was continued for 20 minutes at which time Y2 O3 was added, over a 5 minute interval, in an amount to result in 0.5% Y2 O3 in the final product; then aluminum metal (4% of mix) was added and, after the elapse of 15 more minutes (for a total time from feed to tap of 55 minutes). The molten product was cast between steel plates spaced 3/16" of an inch apart (using a mold such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,993,119).
The chemical analysis of the fused, solidified product in weight %, designated HPD-022 was:
______________________________________SiO2 0.13Fe2 O3 0.32TiO2 0.07ZrO2 39.99Al2 O3 58.69 (by difference)CaO 0.06MgO 0.02Hf 0.70Y2 O3 0.50______________________________________
This example (A2047) was carried out in a small (200 pound capacity) arc furnace. The mix consisted of:
______________________________________Oversized fused alumina-zirconia lumps 86%Q5A10 9%Al� ingot (added separately 4%15 minutes before tap)______________________________________
In this run, the feed was completed after 25 minutes from start-up, after 5 more minutes of fusion, yttria was added to give 0.42% in the product; the addition was completed after 5 minutes at which time the aluminum metal was added, and 15 minutes from the beginning of the aluminum addition the furnace was tapped, using the same mold as in Example 1.
This was identical to Example 2, except that instead of high purity Y2 O3, a low cost Y2 O3 source was used which contained 63% Y2 O3, with the balance made up of rare earth oxides. No significant difference in properties was found as compared with a product made from 99.9% pure Y2 O3.
The analysis of two sources of impure Y2 O3 found useful were:
______________________________________Oxide Source A Source B______________________________________Y2 O3 63 63La2 O3 .5 1.3CeO2 1 5.2Pr6 O11 .5 .6Nd2 O3 1 1.7Sm2 O3 2 1.4Ev2 O3 .5 .1Cd2 O3 5 3.3Tb4 O7 1.7 .5Dy2 O3 11 6.8Ho2 O3 2.7 2.2Er2 O3 6.4 4.5Tm2 O3 1 .9Yb2 O3 4.7 9.7Lo2 O3 1 --______________________________________
Of these materials, La2 O3 --Sm2 O3 are expected to be less desirable, due to their lower solubility in ZrO2 at high temperatures. The oxides Tb4 O7 --Lu2 O3 are expected to mimic closely the behavior of Y2 O3 (by inspection of phase diagrams published as "Phase Diagrams for Ceramists"--American Ceramic Society) and are hence thought to be good.
The abrasive of Example 1 was crushed to produce an elongated shaped abrasive and compared to a similarly crushed abrasive of the same general composition but without yttria. The abrasive, in the 36 grit size, showed an average overall quality improvement of about 25% in a variety of coated abrasive belt grinding tests, in grinding steels. The 50 grit product showed an average improvement of only over 5% in the 50 grit size.
In resin bonded cut-off wheels, for cutting steel, there was a 26% improvement over the standard, and in steel grinding with resin bonded disc wheels, the improvement was 23%. In the case of the wheel tests the crushing procedure was altered to produce a blocky shape of grit.
Physical hardness and fracture toughness testing indicates an improvement in such properties having an optimum between 0.5 and 1% Y2 O3, with significant property improvements over the same abrasive, but without Y2 O3 from 0.1% to 2% Y2 O3.

Even though a PS2 system might be outdated, if you would like to save a few bucks then this gaming console is something to pick up. There are many titles available and they're a fraction of the cost of newer system games. A used game console is also a good money-saving option, and there are plenty available in the market today.
Choosing which game system to buy can be difficult. You need to consider all the features offered by the console and compare them to your style of gaming. Research the gaming systems on the Internet. Read reviews from professionals as well as casual gamers. Make sure you are well-informed prior to purchasing a console.
Gamers are moving forward right along with the gaming industry. Players expect a certain amount of options, quality and good deals. If the price of a new game seems excessive, delay your purchase for a couple of months. Holding off on buying a new release can save you money since prices drop over time.
Before you let your children sit in front of any video game, check to see how it is rated. There are some video games with an "M" (or 17+) rating due to violence, drugs, and other taboo material. Preventing young children from playing mature video games is important. Violent games can upset kids and give them nightmares.
If you have to reload a weapon when playing a video game that has shooting involved, always take cover first. So many times you have your character killed off because you're standing still waiting to reload. Don't you be one of them! Hide and then reload.
Check online to find new tips and cheats for the games you have. If you're stuck, this may be the only way you figure out how to solve your problem. If you look on the Internet, you will find your way past that level.
Video games keep evolving. So do gamers. They have expectations about content, pricing and access. This means when a game comes out at a higher price, waiting a bit is to your advantage. The price will go down, often in a short period of time, because the makers want to keep producing as many as possible.
Keep an eye on kids playing games online. There are games that tell you that with online play it might change the rating. There are many ways that a game can become inappropriate in the online setting such as foul language in chats or suggestive clothing choices and interactions. You should ensure your kids are not seeing anything inappropriate when they are playing in this situation. Video games can offer you a world of adventure, relaxation and excitement. You can learn new skills and gain a feeling of accomplishment. Or, you can just have a ton of fun. Regardless of what kind of game you love, you should try applying the tips you just read.
If you are not in shape and you think that you need to get more physical activity, you should consider buying a Nintendo Wii. This console has a lot of fantastic fitness games that have been made to get people involved in moving their bodies around while having fun at the same time.
Start out with the easiest mode. Too easy? Don't be afraid to reset the game and play on a more difficult mode. Once you go through the game on the easy level, you should find the harder difficulties easier to handle, making getting all your target achievements easier to do. If your child becomes so frustrated during a gaming session that he begins to lash out, tell him that it's time to do something else for awhile. Give a warning, first and maybe even start a new activity. Go on a short walk together, or a bike-ride to take his mind off the game for awhile.
Beginner mode is the best first step. If that is easy, play a harder mode. By playing through on beginner first, you can unlock some achievements that can make the game easier for you to conquer on a harder difficulty level. Make the screen brighter. Although the images might look creepier or more realistic in the dark, it will not help your performance. It will be hard to spot enemies or find some useful clues if you play in the dark. Adding brightness might alter the mood just a bit, but it can improve your play. Doing this will help you see the screen better so that you can perform better in the game. If you are at a point of a game and cannot go on, look online to find cheat codes or a walk-through. You can also search forums for tips on how to get past that level.
