Throughout the years, a myriad of factors have impacted video games, how they're made, and how they're played. Raw horsepower, bizarre business partnerships, and even the storage media have all played a role in shaping the way games evolved. However, the controller itself might just be the single most important factor in deciding exactly what kind of games are developed for any given platform.

Glacity Theatre Collective offering comedy in a new locationWritten by John Dorsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The Glacity Theatre Collective's latest production is definitely a laughing matter. The company is offering patrons twice the funny business with a pair of rotating comedies by noted Canadian playwright George F. Walker.
The plays, "Problem Child" and "Criminal Genius," come from Walker's famed collection "Suburban Motel."
The cast for both shows includes Kate Abu-Absi, Irene Alby, Deborah Coulter-Harris, Dave DeChristopher, Matt Gretzinger, and Ben Pryor. Cornel Gabara is directing both pieces. The set designer was James S. Hill. Holly Monsos designed the costumes. Both plays are being stage managed by Halina LaRiccia.
"Being from Canada originally, I've known about Walker's work for a long time, and have always found it to be very funny," said Collective 's managing director Irene Alby. "We were originally planning to put on another production, which we tried out at the arts commission's Meet and Greet. We didn't really feel like the piece connected with our audience, so I suggested these plays, which I had originally seen in French in Montreal and they ended up being a perfect fit for us, not only in terms their comedic timing, but also because of their ability to be put on in a more intimate setting."
Glacity recently moved to the second floor of the Davis Building.
"Because of the move, we had to put these plays together very quickly, which wouldn't have come together at all without the ability and guidance of our set designer Jim Hill. It was really neat to watch the conversion of such a previously raw space, into a beautiful working theater," Alby said.
Glacity's past productions include "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" "Breathing Corpses" and Eurydice. "
"Problem Child" will run Jan. 31 and Feb. 6 at 8 p.m. "Criminal Genius" will run on Jan. 30, Feb. 5 and 7 at 8 p.m. On Feb. 1, there will be a special 2 p.m. "pay what you can" Sunday matinee for "Criminal Genius". Tickets are $15 for one show or $20 for both, cash or check only: $5 last minute student rush seats are available. Maximum seating is 55. The Davis Building is located at 151 N. Michigan St.. Glacity's theater is in room 228.

From finding his kids in the water to slipping back into his fantasy, yeesh.
I don't personally believe that he slipped back into his fantasy. His line about dying a good man hinted to me that he couldn't live with the pain of what happened, so he pretended to slip back so they would give him the procedure.

August 5, 2015
The newly-formed Texas A&M presidential search committee will get the ball rolling on its search this week.
The A&M System announced Monday that the 15-person panel will meet for the first time Friday at 8 a.m. at the Regents Annex on campus.
Last week, the Board of Regents announced the formation of the committee to conduct the nationwide search for the next president of A&M.
The first meeting, according to the System, will serve to begin mapping out a search plan for the new leader of the College Station campus. While a charge was given to the committee as far as expectations for the end result, the search itself was largely undefined and left to the committee to decide.
That group is made up of three Regents, including committee chairman Richard Box, along with five faculty members, two students and five others with Aggie ties.
Board of Regents Chairman Morris Foster set a target of having a top three or four candidates ready by January, with a finalist by February, though Foster said more time could be taken if needed.
No budget for the search was set by the board last week, and Foster said cost would not drive the search.
For more on the search, head to the search committee's official website, which is linked below.

About our wall sticker printing
As the perennial jetsetters of the print world, our wall stickers are happiest when they're on the move. Featuring a special repositionable adhesive, they love being stuck and restuck time and time again without leaving residue. Travel can be an exhausting business; thankfully, our wall stickers can be washed in warm water, refreshing them and removing any grime accumulated along the way - until they're fresh and ready to be stuck all over again.
It's true that our wall stickers thrive best on smooth, flat surfaces, but walls aren't their only habitat of choice. They just love clinging to the latest technology as laptop and iPhone skins, and work beautifully as short-term exhibition or store promotion graphics. For branding, promoting or brightening up your home or workplace, our wall stickers will step up time and again.
Preparing your artwork
When you order your vinyl stickers there's two ways to submit your artwork. You can either upload your own file, or use the Diginate Online Designer.
For help and information on using the Online Designer click here.
If you are planning to submit your own artwork file here are some guidelines to make sure you get exactly what you want:
- Make sure you prepare your design at the same dimensions as the stickers you plan to order.
- For the best possible print quality prepare your artwork at 300dpi, or as a vector file.
- Please save your artwork down in pdf, ai, eps, jpg, tiff, psd, png or gif format.
- Add 2mm of additional image bleed to the outside of your artwork.
- If you are ordering custom shape stickers you need to indicate the cut path on your artwork file. This can be shown as a separate layer.
For wall stickers we recommend leaving 5mm of unprinted border between your design and the edge of the sticker.
Remember, your prints will only be as good as the artwork supplied!
There's loads more information and tutorials in our Help and Tips and Tricks sections.

We have found a new favorite. Thanks to 7 x 7 Magazine for the suggestion.
Posted by Stellar Jay on 08/02/2012
From the look on their website, SM's front maybe looks a little more presentable, but the times my wife and I have gone in the past, it's appearance seemed at first glance to suggest a clipjoint. However, such is not the case. In fact, SM's ambience is instead that of an unpretentious, city restaurant for locals who know where to go, and don't need to be suckered in by allure. The staff is not fawningly servile but is instead genuine and accomodating. The food is superb. The linguine alfredo is authentic, piping hot and delish. My wife had the linguine with bay scallops which she praised to no end. The grilled sanddabs looked very fresh. Unrelatedly, I like to explore old buildings, and, when going to the backroom loo, noted a connecting hallway and a neatly painted stairwell that descends down to a below-street function area that makes one feels that if one explored at the wrong time, one might walk-in on something out of a Scorsese flick, so that was neat, ambience-wise. But seriously, a great place for no-nonsense, delicious, Italian seafood and pasta at a reasonable price. Grazie, Sotto Mare!

We love this place.... we have been in the bay area for 20 years and there is no place that we like better. Come in everyday wear, enjoy the seat down bar, tables, downstairs and talk to your neighbor. What a wonderful place for feeling you are in Italy. The serves is great.
Posted by Mike on 02/27/2011
Great local find. Ask for the counter seats for first hand viewing of the meal preparations. Family run and cares about all their customers. Great clam chowder and the seafood linguine is outstanding. Get the pink sauce. There is no question this will be my first stop the next time I'm in town.
Posted by Cacho on 01/30/2010
They have the best clam chowder I've had in the Bay Area, 2nd to Marshall's in Tomales Bay. Fish is deliciously simple, pan fried to crispy perfection, and comes with buttery seared brussel sprouts or whatever veggies are in season. Never had the seafood linguini but have seen it and it looks amazing. Often go here just for drinks, oysters, and shrimp louis.

This hotel has undergone significant renovations since our visit.
We will update our photos and review as soon as we can.
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A budget hotel with a quiet location on Waikiki's eastern edge, beautiful views facing the beach, and convenient to shopping and restaurants
After renovations in 2012 (which introduced stylish decor and flat-screen TVs), the Park Shore is considered one of Waikiki's best values. The hotel's best feature -- its location on Waikiki's eastern edge, facing the beach with prime views of both the ocean and Diamond Head -- is a significant advantage over similarly-priced hotels in Waikiki.
The open-air lobby, renovated in 2013, of the 18-story, 226-room high-rise is a nice spot for surfing the free Wi-Fi and relaxing in between trips to the beach. Hawaiian music plays softly, while tropical leaf fans whir overhead; a mix of elderly couples, twentysomethings, and little kids chill out here at various points throughout the day.
The building's ground floor also includes a Starbucks, an ABC convenience store, and the Japanese restaurant Yoshitsune (not affiliated with the hotel). Stairs at the back of the lobby lead to another hallway and the beachfront restaurant Lulu's, which is a popular local hangout.
A quiet location on Waikiki's eastern end, with a great beach across the street
The hotel is the last building along the eastern end of the Waikiki strip, on the corner of Kalakaua and Kapahulu Avenues facing Kuhio Beach. The Honolulu Zoo and Kapiolani Park are across Kapahulu. With no buildings in the way, the Park Shore has stunning views of Diamond Head crater.
The central section of Kalakaua Avenue is a 10- to 15-minute walk away. Kalakaua, a touristy, milelong stretch of shops, restaurants, and high-rise hotels that runs along Waikiki Beach on Oahu's southeast coast, offers a curious blend of mainland creature comforts and local flavor. On the sidewalks, Japanese tourists intermingle with tanned locals, surfboards under their arms, on their way to the beach to catch a few waves after work. On both sides of the street, high-end retailers -- Tiffany, Cartier, and yes, even an Apple store -- are interspersed with indoor malls and streetside vendors hawking cheap seashell jewelry and T-shirts. Seemingly every midmarket chain restaurant can be found here -- Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen, Tony Roma's -- along with more than a handful of Starbucks and fast-food joints. And towering above it all: 40-story, thousand-room hotels dotting the landscape like pins in a cushion.
All rooms renovated in 2013 feature stylish decor and amazing views.
The Park Shore offers six room types across its 226 rooms, all of which have received new carpets, fresh paint, custom-designed bedding, new furniture with more drawer space, and a 42-inch flat-screen TV as part of the 2013 renovations. All rooms have free Wi-Fi.
Across the street from one of the world's most famous beaches; Kuhio Beach, aka "the wall," is the closest subsection.
Loosely speaking, the entire 1.5-mile stretch of sand alongside Kalakaua Avenue is known as Waikiki Beach. In reality, it's more like three separate beaches, the borders of which vary depending on whom you ask. The Park Shore Waikiki is located across the street from the Kuhio section, known to some as "the wall," for the 50-yard concrete pier that juts out from the sand at the corner of Kapahulu Avenue. (The kids who jump off the pier are known affectionately as "wall rats.")
Kuhio Beach is broader and far less crowded than its more famous neighbor to the northwest, Queen's Beach. The water is shallow and warm, and because the wall creates an artificial cove of sorts, it's also calm, making Kuhio the best place for kids to swim, according to the lifeguards there. On the other hand, the ocean bottom is a bit rocky, so tread gingerly.
There just aren't many on-site features to recommend this dated high-rise -- sister hotel Aqua Bamboo has a much nicer pool, and Aqua Palms has a small spa and fitness room. But then again, neither of those is a stone's throw from the beach.
Not much for kids
With not particularly large rooms and no dedicated kids program, the Park Shore is not that great for families, though some may like the proximity to a calm beach, the nearby zoo, and Kapiolani Park.
Two decent on-site restaurants
Two independent local restaurants -- Lulu's Surf Club and the Japanese Yoshitsune -- are connected to the hotel, though only Lulu's gives guests charging privileges.
A quiet location, breathtaking views, stylish rooms, and low rates are the highlights of this friendly, 226-room, high-rise budget hotel right across from the beach and Kapiolani Park. But the hotel's only feature is a small, kidney-shaped pool.

The things I do are not always the things I'm supposed to be doing.
By Hannah Wallace
CCB and me at Raymond James Stadium not learning how to tango or how to make marzipan flowers.
One of my bosses recommended I take a Lakewood Ranch cake decorating class and blog about it, as it's what I'm supposed to be blogging about—fun little structured activities for local folks. And it's not that I wouldn't—I'm not being flip when I say that my cake decorating abilities are a major disappointment to me—but I'm the ringer for the Herald-Tribune's kickball team, and if I'm off perfecting my buttercream latticework, who will cover second base when they play the dreaded Kickin' Nuggets?
(On a side note, I wonder if playing for the HT's kickball team violates the "do not compete" clause in my SarasotaMagazine contract.)
Yeah, Rockstar Kim roped me in to an occasional stint with her HT employee kickball team, the awesomely named McFarlinators. I keep having to turn down ostensible blog-related activities for my ridiculous sports ventures. Not that I'm complaining—I'm just wondering if everyone else is.
In lieu of Hotel Indigo's Twilight Tango on Sunday, CCB and I went to the Bucs' home opener. Indoor soccer is always getting in the way of Third Thursdays at the Ca d'Zan. Saturday evening I'll be at Siesta Key Beach for Mrs. Harrible's annual beach volleyball get-together. And I just realized that I can't attend Planned Parenthood's Safe Sex event in November because I'll be in Estero for a hockey tournament. It's not that I don't want to go to these non-sporty things; it's that I know my friends and teammates will miss me more. Still, I swear I'll get out and take classes and attend events and be a better blogger…just as soon as CCB and I get tired of our new badminton set.
(On another side note, badminton is hysterical. You have to stand three feet away from your opponent because every swing takes full effort just to knock the thing over the net, so you look like Tippi Hedren in an aviary. And for even more hysterics, try playing when there's a slight breeze. It's like a special school for adults with no eye-hand coordination.)
Hard at work last Friday afternoon, I came across Glamour.com's "Single-ish" blog by two 20-something New Yorkers detailing their misadventures in the dating world. It inspired me, in that superior-but-not-unattainable sort of way—the personal, conversational voice, the amusing, slice-of-life anecdotes. I'm going to unashamedly steal from it next week with a look back at dating life (such as it was), but for now, after enjoying those Single-ish stories about people and places I'll never know (not to mention I'm, y'know, not single), I'm just hoping that the bizarre ways I spend my time with the bizarre people I know at least partially make up for the complete absence of useful information here.
They also ask questions at the ends of their entries. Um, any ideas? OK, how about, "What are your favorite sporty activities?"

My photo above. And below is the photo that Michael took with his iPhone because he wasn't sure I'd have time to take one. And I have to say it's not bad (he may be picking up a few photo tips like I'm getting some cooking ones from him). But—there are a few things wrong here that is basically just laziness. To start, he could have moved the crap away and that would have given him the space on the counter, eliminating the distracting lower right corner. The other would be to take the beans out of the plastic. Anything white, silver, or shiny is going to attract the viewer's eye and plastic is simply not a good look. And speaking of white—that white bowl is doing this too. Something made of organic materials or Read On »

I've always loved B&W photographs because they seem to say, "I am timeless, I need no pretty colors to attract—I am edgy." With the age of digital also came the not having to choose between B&W and color film. This is truly a great thing, but you can't just push the "remove color" button to convert your digital color into a B&W and many people do. If you do that you'll end up with a very flat looking photo—here's an example form Michael's book, Ratio: Do you see the difference? If you ever did any B&W printing in the darkroom you would for sure. I did 2 things— increased the contrast being careful not to push the highlights too far so they look hot and I also burned in the rim of the bowl because Read On »
Someone asked how I go about composing my CSA vegetable photos and instead of thinking about the lighting, I immediately thought about the challenge of photographing a group of many things without its looking chaotic. The direction that each element is pointing can lead the viewer's eye throughout the entire photo or it can run it off the page. In this Okra photo you have the direction of the wood grain in the bottom directing your eyes to travel up and to the right—then the Okra pieces are varied so that your eye travels around—the uncut Okra sweeps up to the right but the wood grain at top left pulls you back. If all your elements are going in the same direction the eye does not want to stay on the image. And—BTW This was Read On »
This is the final version of this photograph of lemon confit I did recently. It was lit with strobe lights, camera on tripod with a long shutter speed (1.5 sec.) to get the evening light outside the window. It's been cropped and corrected in Photo Elements, which I will discuss next, but here is the lighting set-up: This photo was taken with my point and shoot with the strobe modeling lights left on so that I could show how the lights effected the subject. When I took the photo, I turned off the strobe modeling and room lights so that the only available light was the evening light out the window. The final photo I chose has a fill card in front to the right, but not too close, I like the contrast of the Read On »
It snowed last night and at around noon today the sun was coming through a thin layer of clouds—perfect for shooting food with available light. That's the view out the window and that's my setup for this photo. I did this just to talk about using available light, white fill cards and also I just wanted to take a photo of the cool pewter antique dish I found a couple of days ago. These two photos were both shot at ISO 100, F5.6, a 6th of a sec. shutter speed on a tripod. The first is just window light and the second has a white fill card placed to the right bouncing the light back filling in the shadows in front. You can see a big difference in the single clove's exposure. I only used Read On »

The Effect Of A Camshaft Position Sensor In A CarPosted in Engine & DriveTrain
I have an 2001 F250. Error codes tell me that the MAF and the Purge Cannister is bad. I have replaced both. Still trouble starting, and rough erratic idling, with backfires. Could the problem actually be the Camshaft Sensor?

Since the minute my husband and I got there, we were waiting for a long time before we were even acknowledged. The waiter finally came to take our order, the order took super long. My husband had to make a loud comment and a cook overheard us and send someone over. The food took really long to come out. We only ordered an angel roll and a fried shrimp rice. The guy brings the food and he hands me NO utensils, am I suppose to eat with my hands??? Then we have no napkins!!??? I was on the phone and my husband got up to go to the restroom he had just finished his meal, the waiter comes and takes my plate! I was super upset, because I WASNT DONE EATING! This is my late Mother's Day treat and since I'm watching what I eat I cannot be eating a meal like this everyday! Poor customer service from the minute we walked in, until the moment we left! I don't ever want to come here ever! I called and spoke to the manager and he apologized and he pointed exactly what I had observed....middle of the week, hardly any customers and we got this kind of treatment!!?? Thanks but NO thanks! I don't want a discount or free food!

Perhaps the most representative dish at Chuy Arzola's is the "Austin," one of the combo platters. This is two thin "crispy chicken burritos" (read: flautas or taquitos) topped with queso and a scoop of guacamole, with pico de gallo on the side. On one hand this is damn satisfying at the most primal level: The burritos are crisp, the chicken is tender, the cheese and guac round out the flavor, and the pico de gallo adds a welcome jalapeño punch. On the other hand, these are the same predictable pleasure points too many restaurants of every stripe aim for, a cuisine best captured by those Taco Bell ads that trumpet "melty, cheesy" foods.

Of course, there's no arguing that melty and cheesy sells: You had to wait in line during the final week of the original Chuy Arzola's existence, and the lunch crowd at the new location was generally bigger than the draw at most of the places I've visited recently. It's tough to knock a restaurant owner for hitting the sweet spot.

Shale gas extraction has become a reality.
If this source is put to use properly and responsibly, it will reduce U.S.
dependence on oil and coal. Oil will still have its domain but chiefly for petrochemicals,
road tar and gasoline.
The market for fuel oil for home heating will be vastly reduced. The need for coal would also be reduced as coal-fired power stations convert to gas. Imports of liquid propane gas would virtually disappear.
The price of natural gas is plummeting as supplies are coming online. All this must eventually bring the price of oil and coal down with it as demand slackens. Distributing gas by pipeline saves fuel now used to transport oil and coal by land and sea from source to user.
The issue of water pollution has to be addressed. It turns out that there is at least 1,000 feet of solid rock between the fractionation process and surface domestic water wells. The pollution of surface wells is more likely to be caused by naturally occurring gas near the surface leaking into wells than by "fracking."
Monitoring wells by taking samples before, during and after drilling nearby can identify any water quality problems. Most people take water samples from their wells all the time. As for water used in the extraction process itself, this is either recycled or injected into deep cavities where it can be safely stored. The percentage of water recycled, currently about 75 percent, is likely to increase as the science advances.
The Marcellus Shale extends almost to the New York-Vermont state border, so the price should be way low compared with some other locations.
This is cost effective when compared to windmills and solar arrays. As far as I am aware, shale gas operations receive little subsidy compared with that received by these inefficient machines. The gas wells are well nigh invisible once the drilling rig and equipment is removed upon completion. Lateral drilling techniques reduce the number of wells that have to be drilled.
These wells will be on the flatlands of New York state, not on our mountaintops or next to Route 100. From what I've read many farmers in New York cannot wait to lease drilling rights on their land, so NIMBY doesn't apply. Whatever we might think of nuclear energy, the Japanese earthquake and tsunami have put that issue to bed for at least a decade.

Nation Briefs: June 27
Town has mixed views of gunman
DIXON — Some in the hometown of a man who opened fire at a plastics plant described him as a "good kid," while others called him a troublemaker and said Thursday that they weren't surprised when he killed himself and five others.
Wesley N. Higdon was prone to retreating inward during long walks around this rural town about 120 miles west of Louisville, said Ann Rigdon, 31, of Dixon, who knew Higdon in high school and called him "weird."
Police said Higdon, 25, shot his supervisor outside the plant in nearby Henderson early Wednesday after an argument, then went inside and shot and killed four others before turning the gun on himself. A sixth shooting victim survived.
Security company raided; guns taken
RALEIGH, N.C. — Federal agents raided Blackwater Worldwide this week as part of an investigation into whether the private security company sidestepped federal laws prohibiting the private purchase of automatic assault rifles, the company said.
Blackwater spokeswoman Anne Tyrrell said Thursday that investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives searched Blackwater's armory at its corporate headquarters in Moyock on Tuesday as part of the investigation. Court documents show that agents seized 22 guns as evidence from a vault dedicated to county authorities.
The company signed agreements in 2005 in which Blackwater financed the purchase of 34 automatic weapons for the Camden County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Tony Perry became the official owner of the weapons, but Blackwater was allowed to keep most of the guns at its armory.
Girl, 14, charged with murder of newborn
BAYTOWN — A 14-year-old girl who secretly gave birth in a school bathroom was charged with capital murder Thursday by police, who said she killed the newborn by choking and flushing him in the toilet.
The girl was charged as a juvenile; Baytown police Capt. Roger Clifford said prosecutors will decide whether to certify her as an adult. She cannot be executed if convicted because of her age.
The girl gave birth April 2 in a bathroom at Cedar Bayou Junior High. Police said she stuffed toilet paper in the infant's throat and submerged him in a toilet. An autopsy confirmed the baby was alive and cried before his mother tried to flush him, police Lt. Eric Freed said.
Principal stands by pregnancies report
BOSTON — The principal of a Massachusetts high school who said a group of students intentionally got pregnant stood by his comments Thursday, saying his information "was and is accurate."
In his first public statement since the controversy erupted earlier this month, Gloucester High School Principal Joseph Sullivan said he does not specifically remember using the word "pact" but does not dispute it.
He said a reporter from Time magazine asked him whether access to birth control through the school's health center would have prevented the spike in pregnancies — 17 last year, compared with the typical four.
"I told her no, because my sources had informed me that a significant number of the pregnancies, especially among the younger students, were the result of deliberate and intentional behavior," Sullivan said.
$6.3 million to be paid in fire deaths
PROVIDENCE — A company that sold flammable foam blamed for fueling a Rhode Island nightclub fire that killed 100 people has agreed to pay $6.3 million to settle lawsuits from survivors and victims' relatives.
The agreement filed Thursday by Johnston-based American Foam Corp. brings total settlements offered in the case to roughly $153 million. The settlement must be approved by the hundreds of people suing.
The Feb. 20, 2003, fire at The Station nightclub began when pyrotechnics for rock band Great White ignited the foam, which was used as soundproofing around the stage.
Woman gets prison for employee abuse
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. — A millionaire who inflicted years of abuse on two Indonesian housekeepers held as virtual slaves in her Long Island mansion was sentenced Thursday to 11 years in prison.
Varsha Sabhnani, 46, was convicted with her husband in December on a 12-count federal indictment that included forced labor, conspiracy, involuntary servitude and harboring aliens.

It was a script well written and evident (well, at least me) that it would be a befitting farewell to the blue-eyed boy of Indian cricket- Sachin Tendulkar, as the Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai Super Kings in the semi-finals and Rajasthan Royals in the Champions League 2013 finals, yesterday. Although it was also Rahul Dravid's last appearance with the bat but it was Sachin who had to be favored instead of Dravid. It was also evident that it had to be an IPL team clash for the finals otherwise any foreign team wouldn't have been able to get the crowds in after the match-fixing controversies that took place earlier this year.
It was Mumbai Indians' second major title of the year, as they won the Champions League final by putting up a mammoth total of 202/6 against RR who managed just 169 runs. Everything went according to script and Dravid had to take backseat yet again and end up on the losing side. I wonder why this comparison and why Dravid always gets second treatment. Has Dravid been any lesser than Sachin? Does a batsman having more runs make him greater than anyone else? Except for not more than a dozen matches I don't recollect Sachin single-handedly winning matches for us. I've lost track of the times Dravid has saved or won matches for us on a consistent basis, who for one will surely go down in cricket history as an unsung hero. Sachin may end up being the most run getter in ODI's and Tests, a record which would be very difficult to overhaul by anyone but ultimately people should not forget as to how many times he has been instrumental in winning or saving matches for his team.
Finally, the way the finals was scripted, no guesses for how the series against the West Indies would conclude.

Since MTV's Jersey Shore stars landed in Miami earlier this month, we've seen them drinking, tanning ... and drinking some more. But recently, a few castmates took a break from their fist-pumping fun to hang out with some exotic animals on a Miami street.
Breakout star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi proved to be the bravest girl in the group, letting handlers place a giant yellow-and-white snake around her neck. Though she looked pretty frightened – the slithering snake was bigger than her! – you've got to give her credit for stepping out of her comfort zone.

WASHINGTON (AP) Fourteen deaths have now been attributed to the winter storm that is wreaking havoc in the Mid-Atlantic region and the Northeast. A truck driver in Virginia who was working to clear snowy roads was hit this morning by another dump truck.
To the south, even though the worst of the storm has passed, trees and driveways are covered with ice, and hundreds of thousands are without power. Atlanta temperatures are rising today, but will drop below freezing again overnight.
In North Carolina, troops in big-wheeled Humvees have been patrolling the roads, looking for stranded motorists. The storm brought traffic to a virtual standstill in the Research Triangle area yesterday as it coated much of the state in snow and ice.
The storm has now dumped more than a foot of snow in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region. Streets have been largely deserted in the nation's capital this morning, with residents heeding warnings to stay off the roads. Federal offices and the city's two main airports are closed. Baltimore awoke to 15 inches of snow.
The storm is the latest in an unending onslaught of winter weather that has depleted salt supplies and caused schools to run out of snow days.

Fortune Cookie Not Included
I enjoyed this meal the other night @ a high lake camp after a good climbing day. Not exactly like going to a Chinese restaurant but @ 11,500' next to a beautiful stream, the food & ambiance created a memorable experience. I let it rehydrate a few minutes longer like I've started doing with all my freeze dried meals. Works great if you can wait the few extra minutes. This meal has a very flavorful combination of ingredients with a hint of spiciness & you won't even miss the fortune cookie.

Feature Session: Information Obfuscation: Protecting Corporate Data
With Corporate Data breaches occurring at an every alarming rate, management at all levels are struggling with the length, width, and breathe of protecting their corporate data-assets. There is no shortage of options (firewalls, virus controls, access & authentication controls, separation of duties, multifactor authentication, data masking, remediation of "MS-Access databases," data encryption [in-flight and data-at-rest], secured emails, secured folders, disabling jump drives, limiting web access, etc., etc., etc.).
As Information Management professionals, we are often asked: "what do we need and which is the best option?" which leads to the inevitable answers "it depends" and, my favorite, "yes." What most see as a wide variety of options should be a set of standard business-as-usual (BAU) tools and practices.
In this session, Michael Jay Freer will explore defining a common data-masking language; defining standard masking business-rules; defining best practices for manipulating the data; and how to get started without attempting to "Boil-the-ocean."

Night owls, rejoice! One of your favorite days of the year is at hand.
The annual end of daylight saving time not only gives night people an extra hour to sleep in the morning -- at least until the routine sets in -- but it also means that 2 a.m. will last two hours on Sunday morning.
That means whatever you do during the first hour of 2 a.m. doesn't count, right?
Still, there's a downside to the tradition of resetting clocks to "fall back." It emphasizes the time of year, especially in the Pacific Northwest, when the dark nights grow ever longer and the daylight hours grow ever shorter.
Reduced sunlight can cause mood and sleep problems for many people, even if they're not prone to seasonal affective disorder.
"In general, darkness stimulates our body to want to sleep," said Michael Rothenfluch, staff psychiatrist at Vancouver-based PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center. "That's not just because of lack of light. Chemicals in our brains actually get triggered because of the darkness. That can lead to fatigue and a desire to sleep more."
Seasonal affective disorder adds depression, sadness and disrupted sleep into that equation.
But whether it's SAD or something less severe, a few tricks with light can often make the darkness of winter a lot more bearable, he said.
"Many people think that they can't get light exposure in the winter by going outside, and that's not true," Rothenfluch said. "Even on the cloudiest, darkest day you get a lot more light by going outside than you do if you stay indoors."
Taking a 20- or 30-minute walk outside, even if it's drizzling, can make a huge difference in getting sunlight and fighting the winter doldrums.
Vitamin D supplements can improve mood and sleep issues. The body synthesizes it naturally through exposure to sunlight, so in the Pacific Northwest's light-deprived winter, vitamin D deficiencies can be common.
Light therapy lamps, which may or may not help with vitamin D production, can strategically pump up your energy level during the dark evenings and mornings.
"The brain is very attuned to how much daylight there is," said Marlene Dietrich, medical director of the Sleep Center at PeaceHealth. "Bright light is very helpful in the morning to get you started."
For those who have sleep problems in the winter, she recommends 20-30 minutes with a light box in the morning while eating breakfast to wake up, and perhaps another 20-30 minutes at around 4 p.m. to help if you're feeling sleepy too early in the evening.
"People tend to want to sleep longer in the winter because of the lack of light, so full spectrum lights can be helpful," Dietrich said. "You don't want to sit and stare at them though, you want to put them a few feet off to the side, and maybe read the paper or do some other activity while it's on."
As time shifts, you can help your body adjust by keeping to a regular schedule for meals and bedtimes.
"Exercise late in the day, at around 5 p.m., can help," Dietrich said, "although you don't want to do it too close to bedtime."
On the flip side, video games, televisions and cell phones with bright screens can disrupt sleep cycles by mimicking a light box too late into the evening, she said.
"With the bright light of computers and TV, everybody's a little sleep-deprived," Dietrich said. "Really, you should turn those off and get ready for bed by doing things like relaxing quietly with a good book."
People who take melatonin should be aware that the supplements can take three to four hours to kick in. Many take the pills right before bed, which is too late for most people, Dietrich added.
The rapid approach of the holiday season can add to sleep problems and winter doldrums, Rothenfluch said.
"I think a lot of times, holidays bring a lot of memories of loss for people, and I think that may play a role in the worsening of people's moods," he said. "And families, while they are our sources of love and strength, they can also be sources of stress."
To fight off those issues, Rothenfluch recommends finding one activity to do just for yourself every day for perhaps 30 minutes.
"Do one thing that gives you a sense of rest, wellbeing and pleasure, like reading, playing golf or playing with your kids," he said. "That's good advice to follow anyway, but especially through the holidays and this time of year."

I never really liked this band before, but I just discovered that Mr. Big's song "Shine" is actually played during the ending credits of the anime Hellsing. I do think it's funny that a show about vampires ends with a song called "Shine."
Give this one a listen. This is Alison Krauss (and Robert Plant) singing one of Led Zeppelin's greatest songs and making it her own. Awesome
