Video conferencing is already popular in the business world, and it's gaining followers in the academic world, too.
Popular Science reports that video conferencing technology is helping make sure that all teens have access to education, regardless of their health. The magazine shares the story of Lyndon Baty, a Knox City, Texas, high school freshman who suffers from polycystic kidney disease and had a kidney transplant at age 7. Baty was forced to leave school physically when his body began to show signs of transplant rejection, but thanks to a telepresence robot, he hasn't had to leave the classroom emotionally.
"I never thought when I was sick that I would ever have any interaction, much less this kind. It is just like I am there in the classroom," Bates told a local TV station.
The bot is especially well-suited to the academic environment, which necessitates that students move from classroom and classroom throughout the day.
Telepresence bots are getting more and more sophisticated, allowing people to communicate in realistic ways across vast distances. Anybots recently released QB, its own telepresence bot, which currently retails for $15,000 and offers real-time video interaction.

"hahaha that's funny baby" she says giving him a kiss. "I must say that i'm not so sad cuz I am having two beautiful babies with the most amazing guy ever"
"No, they won't don't even say that" she said feeling extremely hurt.
Serina backed up from him and looked him in the eye "Jack just shut up already," she said softly "You do not know you will be a bad father, just like I do not know if I will be a good mother." she said taking his face in her hands. "No, I have no idea what I am doing, No, I do not know if our children will be healthy, but I do know that I love you and I love these children, and I do know that I do not want to be a single mother and that I want our children to have their father around."
"Jack please don't do this to me" she said looking up at him. "I didn't mean to tell you to shut up I just want you to give it a shot. I don't want anyone else I want you and no one but you." she whispered. "Please don't leave me, don't leave us" she said tears falling down her cheek.
"Jack please" she begged sitting on her old bed. "I don't want our children growing up without their real father" she sat down and placed her hands on her stomache "Do you really want to leave us?" she asked quietly.
"I thought you loved me, that's what you've told me and someone who loves me wouldn't do this" she whispered "What can I do to make you stay, I'll do anything, please just don't leave us"
"And I love you, so please don't leave me, leave us." she said peering up at him sadly clutching her tiger.
"buy you what?" she asked him softly, "we are both taking a shot in the dark we know nothing about raising children, but we'll learn I promise."
"Okay, I'll go make dinner" she said standing up and walking to the kitchen she placed a hand on his shoulder and handed him her tiger as she passed.
"I will" she said softly before he left.

Due to changes in the work force and in the economies of many states, more and more families are finding themselves needing to move when mom or dad gets a new job. And while this fresh start may be the very best thing for the family, the kids likely will not see it that way. Not at first, at least. So, even though you're busy rearranging your entire lives and trying to move the whole family, be sure to take time to help your children through this transition as much as possible.
First, ask your children how they are feeling about the move. Don't put thoughts of negativity into their heads if they aren't there. Let them tell you what their concerns are. Each child is different and will react in a unique way. Next, sympathize with their worries and let them know that it will be an adjustment for you as well and that you'll all go through it together. Also, focus on the positive aspects of the move. If you're going to a city with cultural opportunities your child hasn't experienced before. Focusing on the "new adventure" aspect will help your children get excited. Finally, don't assume that your younger children will be more flexible and therefore less affected by the move than your older kids. Approach each child differently and respond to that child's individual concerns about the move.

MADRID One hundred years of history came together for a single weekend of motors and engines at the 31st annual Antique Gas and Steam Exhibition, held Saturday and Sunday at the St. Lawrence Power and Equipment Museum.
A horse-drawn carriage trundled past sports cars from the 1950s, tractors from the 1940s and early engines from the 1920s. Wheels spun and an antique sawmill whined as visitors arrived to learn more about the areas past.
Museum members aim to preserve and share the regions history, especially the evolving tools and technology that shaped St. Lawrence County.
Were growing every year, said museum member Shirley A. Dickinson. I love the idea that children today can come and see things that we had growing up.
The museums newest addition is an exact replica of a little red-and-white Texaco gas station that served customers throughout the early 20th century, when fuel prices were measured in dimes, not dollars. Museum officials originally planned to move and restore the original, which still stands in Madrid, but found it was too run-down to repair.
There was nothing to move, so we decided to build a replica, said project coordinator William S. Mousaw.
The stations shelves are lined with boxes that once held car parts from an earlier era. A worn checker board and pipe sit on a table in the corner, as if someone had just stepped away from a game for a moment.
Mr. Mousaw wore a Texaco uniform as he dedicated the building Sunday.
So many people today dont realize what their ancestors used. Things today are so modern, he said.
The weekend was filled with activities for the historically and mechanically inclined. Saturday had a horse pull and the dedication of the museums new antique saw mill. On Sunday, competitors tested their machines strength at the tractor pull and children rode ponies.
Throughout the exhibition museum, members demonstrated the machinery of bygone years.
The old engineers were pretty shrewd, said Gary F. Hargrave, explaining a large wood-burning engine once used to crush rocks and melt tar.
Its amazing what they could do with the things they had, he said.
Although modern conveniences mean life no longer requires daily physical toil for most, that does not mean life has gotten much easier, according to Mr. Hargrave. It has just changed. And with reminders of the past such as those at the museum, everyone can see just how different things are.

Barcelona RECOMMENDATIONS See all
Day Trips From Barcelona
By Viator, February 2015
Old-world charm in Girona and Besalú
Catalonia brims with pueblos that will easily lure you away from Barcelona's Cosmopolitan streets – and perhaps no place does that better than Girona. Cross one of 11 bridges into the river-perched city, where you can visit the 11th-century cathedral and get lost among the streets of one of Spain's most well-preserved Jewish quarters. After your stop in Girona, get to know the nearby town of Besalú, crossing the arched Romanesque bridge into its old quarter, inside which you can check out city sights like the at least 900-year-old Jewish bath, the even older 11th-century Sant Pere Church, and the oddly enjoyable Museum of Miniatures.
Nature escape to Montseny
But maybe you need a breath of fresh air, replacing the sounds of the city with the music of the mountains. In Montseny Natural Park, you'll find just that, along with loads of hiking trails, gushing rivers and sweet pueblos. During a visit, hike your way to the top of 1,700-meter-high Turó de l'Home, check out classic Catalan modernism in the village of La Garriga, and get your fill of the mushrooms and chestnuts famously harvested and cooked up in the region.
Scenery and serenity at Montserrat
For a more spiritual and otherworldly excursion, set your sights on the mountainside monastery of Montserrat. Situated about an hour outside of Barcelona by train, Montserrat's mountain peaks and rock-surrounded abbey will have your jaw dropping whether you're religious or not. During your time there you can of course pay a visit to the monastery, but also trek neighboring trails and admire unparalleled views of the valley below.
Day trips don't stop there either. Those seeking the beach can venture 40 kilometers south to the fishing village of Sitges, with its artsy culture and international vibe. For a still more artistic excursion, head to Costa Brava, visiting Dalí's stomping grounds, like his hometown Figueres (and his namesake museum) and his former bayside residence in Port Lligat near Cadaqués.

Crowdsourcing Crisis: How Civic Media Informs Breaking News
The first half of 2011 has seen dramatic events — some tragic, others encouraging — take place across the globe. From revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia to an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan, breaking news has been reported by individual citizens as well as professional journalists. And explaining the complex nuances of unfolding events has shown the power of civic media in informing local communities and the wider world.
In this session, we talked with two individuals who've been part of efforts to share perspectives from civic media with a global audience.
Mohamed Nanabhay, Head of New Media at the AlJazeera Network, helped unpack the North African revolutions using video from Facebook and other online sources.
Joi Ito, the new head of MIT's Media Lab, has worked with a group of civic reporters and citizen scientists in Japan to document the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima nuclear plant. The two will discuss the emerging media environment, where professional and civic media interact to produce a richer and more inclusive picture of global events.

This citrusy vinaigrette pairs beautifully with the richness of the pork. If you can find them, make this dish with the spectacularly thick (about 1-1/2 inch) "Iowa" pork chops: Their architecture is similar to a T-bone steak. Be sure to cook them to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea)
- 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
- 6 pork chops, each at least 1/2-inch thick
- Traeger Pork and Poultry Rub, or salt and pepper
Make the vinaigrette: In a small mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, orange juice, honey, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes. Whisk in the olive oil until an emulsion forms. Stir in the parsley. When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Season the pork chops on both sides with the Traeger Pork and Poultry Rub. Arrange the pork chops on the grill grate and smoke for 30 minutes. Increase the heat to 300 degrees F (Medium) and continue to cook the chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 to 160 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Arrange the chops on a platter or plates and pour some of the vinaigrette over the chops. Serve the remaining vinaigrette on the side.

News from 1830, 1831 & 1832
A descendant of Solomon Allen, one of the machine breakers from Berkshire, has reminded me that it was 179 years ago today (25th June 1831) that the convict ship Eleanor arrived in New South Wales. On board the Eleanor were men from Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, and one man from Kent. The Eleanor sailed from Spithead on the 19th February 1831, the Master was Robert Cock and the Surgeon Superintendent was John Stephenson.
25th June 1831 - The Convict ship, Eleanor, arrives in Sydney
Joseph and Robert Mason, brothers from Bullington in Hampshire, both wrote home to tell their family of their arrival in New South Wales.
In a letter dated 27th July 1831, addressed to his mother, sisters and friends, Robert Mason wrote:-
' ... we arrived in Sydney harbour on Saturday the 25th about nine o'clock in the evening, the mouth of the Bay is a mile wide both sides being fenced with rocks and after a winding course of about 7 miles you come to the town of Sydney it appears to be one of the finest and more secure harbours in the world the Town is on the side of a hill that gradually rises from the sea and it has a very beautiful appearance from a ship laying in the habour. Here the water turns to the right and goes 16 miles further up the country to a Town called Parramatta but this water is not deep enough to carry anything but small vessels.'
In a letter dates 30th September 1831, addressed to his 'wife, daughter, mother & sisters', Joseph Mason wrote of his arrival in Sydney:-
'We coasted along New South Wales till the 25th of June when about noon we caught eye of the light‑house at Sydney. Our Captain hoisted the Pilot Flag but a calm setting in, we did not receive the Pilot till sunset and they cast our anchor in Sydney Cove about 9 oclock being just 18 weeks on our journey to the day two cannons were fired from our ship which echoed and re‑echoed among the adjacent Rocks and being the thing rather uncommon it shook off the lower stonsil boom on the lar‑board side.'
9th July 1831 The following letter was sent from the Principal Superintendents Office in Hobart, to the Colonial Secretary.
In reply to your Memorandum of this date respecting the conduct generally up to the men transported by the Eliza. I have the honour to report for the information of His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, that the convicts by that ship have behaved in a most exemplary manner since their landing and that none of those in Town have been convicted of the most trifling offence to the present day and a circumstance unprecedented in my experience of the colony.
11th July 1831 The convicts from the Eleanor come ashore and are taken to Hyde Park Barracks in Sydney.
We remained on board till Monday 11th of July when we were permitted to come on shore in our own clothes, a great indulgence and considered an extraordinary thing by the people. We went to the Barracks where we were inspected by the secretary and then put into a backyard with orders not to correspond with those who were sent here for CRIMES. The character that our Captain and Doctor gave us excellent and the people of Sydney considered us to be downright honest men a valuable qualification here.
(From a letter written by Robert Mason to his Mother, Sisters and Friends, dated, Sydney New South Wales, Wednesday July 27th 1831)
Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney
2nd August Kent - Philip Porter, age 17, appeared at the Maidstone Assizes today, charged with setting fire to the property of several farmers in the parish of Orpington. The evidence against him was circumstantial. The Judge stopped the case and the boy was acquitted.
5th August Essex - At 9 oclock this morning, William Jennings, who had been convicted of setting fire to the premises of William Addy, at Writtle, and of burglary at Althorne, was executed in front of Springfield Gaol.
3rd August Van Diemens Land The convict ship, Proteus, arrived at Hobart Town today. All the convicts on board survived the voyage
8th August Van Diemens Land One of the convicts who had arrived on board the Proteus, 20 year old John Simon Clark from Huntingdonshire, was transferred to the Hospital in Hobart, he was suffering from Phthysis.
6th August Hampshire John Dore and James Whitcher, who had been found guilty of setting fire to several ricks of corn and hay, three barns, a stable and a cart shed at Cocum Farm in the parish of Barton Stacey on the 11th December last year, were removed from the Leviathan prison hulk at Portsmouth and put on board the transport ship York, that will take them to Van Diemens Land.


text: 5 must-haves for effective quality improvement Publish Date: 2/13/2013 Shirin Towfigh, MD, FACS, and surgical colleagues at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles have found success with implementing effective quality improvement, and they have the data to prove it: The rate of postoperative surgical site infections after colorectal surgeries dropped from a baseline of 15% to less than 5% within six months following the implementation of an evidence-based SSI bundle. This colorectal SSI quality improvement initiative started in August 2010 as part of a broader colorectal SSI project led by the Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare in collaboration with American College of Surgeons. The Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare partners with health care organizations that use a systematic approach to analyze specific breakdowns in patient care and discover underlying causes to develop targeted solutions that solve these complex problems.For this SSI project, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center joined six other participating hospitals in applying Robust Process ImprovementTM methodology to design their evidence-based SSI bundle targeted to their organization's unique list of contributing factors to colorectal SSIs.Under Towfigh's project leadership at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, her QI team measured the incidence of colorectal SSIs, identified contributing factors for these infections, established a low-cost SSI prevention bundle and worked as a multidisciplinary group to successfully implement the bundle across all surgical settings.Towfigh, an attending surgeon and director of Cedar-Sinai's medical student education program, says her facility's sustained reduction of SSIs through this project highlights the power of QI data—when data are collected and used correctly."Clean data is key, but what's more important is how you communicate the data to empower everyone who has a stake in safe patient care," Towfigh says. "We continue to find success in widespread use of our SSI bundle by showing surgical team members what the evidence indicates is the right thing to do; this gives them the knowledge to choose these safety practices as their default action."Here are Towfigh's must-have elements for effective quality improvement to address today's health care challenges:1.Build a smart QI team (don't forget perioperative nurses!)The QI team for this SSI project involved a diverse group of representatives from across the hospital, including surgical team members, hospital epidemiologists and QI specialists who were supported to dedicate their time to the project. "Leadership buy-in is key for any QI project," Towfigh stresses. She also says perioperative nursing is key for any QI project that involves changes in surgical practice. "Our perioperative nurses acted fast to implement the needed elements for the colorectal SSI bundle; without our perioperative nurses, this project would not have been successful."Towfigh also stresses the importance of naming a QI project leader who commands respect and serves as the face of the project. 2. Ask, don't bully when requesting QI practice changesGetting widespread buy-in is always a challenge with any QI project, Towfigh acknowledges. "I knew from the beginning that I would have to present this project to the surgeons in a flexible way. I asked them to consider making these changes, and in turn I would give them actionable patient data—this helped surgeons understand the tangible value of testing the SSI bundle."3. Keep QI changes simple, and explain the science behind changesOur bundle is simple—we didn't buy expensive dressings or new technologies to implement changes, instead we used what we had and limited our changes to what we knew could be easily implemented, Towfigh explains. "We also focused a lot of time on open dialogue to share the scientific rationale for our changes. Explaining the evidence behind QI decisions will get much more buy-in."4.Collect clean QI data, and know how to talk about findingsEducate team members who are working directly with the QI project so everyone understands how to correctly collect and implement accurate QI data, Towfigh advises.QI data should be presented in a way that is clear and not overwhelming, or the power of the data will be lost, she notes. "Surgeons are visual, if you are going to be successful in having them change their practices, they need to see the evidence in a clear, accurate way."5. Bring QI back to the patient"Focus on meaning, not memorization when implementing QI changes," Towfigh stresses. With the continued use of their SSI bundle, questions still come up and she explains the evidence-based rationale for the QI changes in simple terms, focusing on how the action protects the patient."Our common goal to provide the highest level of care for our patients never changes, but new practices and new evidence change the way we provide this high-level care," Towfigh says. "Disseminating education on these changes in a respectful, convincing way is the cornerstone of successful quality improvement."Additional ResourcesLearn about the evidence-based protocols used to reduce colorectal SSI infections at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.Find strategies for engaging nurses in quality improvement activities.Explore the Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare website to learn about the colorectal SSI project and other projects where the Center has worked with leading health care organizations in applying Robust Process ImprovementTM methodology.

Uncentering the Earth: Copernicus and the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres (Great Discoveries)by William T. Vollmann
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In 1543, the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus lay on his deathbed, his just-published masterpiece On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres in his hands. At that time, religious doctrine and common sense dictated that the earth ruled the universe, with the sun, moon, planets, and stars all rotating around it. By putting the sun at the center of that cosmology, his book fomented another kind of revolution a scientific one that would lead to a completely new view of the universe, and humanity's place in it. As contemporary cosmologists explore the universe's vastness and the nearly insignificant role we play in it, the repercussions from Copernicus's radical step continue to resound. With the energetic prose and powerful intelligence for which he is known, William T. Vollmann provides an enlightening and readable explication not only of Copernicus's book but also of Copernicus's epoch, and the momentous clash between the two.
"Modern readers are less inclined than earlier ones to sit through Copernicus's juggling of Ptolemy's epicycles to discover how he arrived at his eureka moment that the Earth moves around the Sun. Fortunately, they don't have to, as Vollmann, whose Europe Central won this year's National Book Award for fiction, provides a highly personal and philosophical gloss of all six chapters of Copernicus's De revolutionibus (1543). Vollmann interrupts his exegeses with discussions of the contemporary mindset, the limits of observation at the time (we're told repeatedly how difficult it is to spot Mercury without a good pair of binoculars) and the scientist's quiet, provincial career. What seems most remarkable about Copernicus's book after reading Vollmann's version is how firmly his work is based on Ptolemy's. It's also striking how close he came to modern astronomical values, especially since he thought that arriving within 10 degrees of a true value would be an amazing achievement. Vollmann can't completely avoid technical explanations, but readers who want to understand the significance of Copernicus's book in both his own time and ours will find this the next best thing to reading it." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"On the heels of Owen Gingerich's The Book Nobody Read: Chasing the Revolutions of Nicolaus Copernicus, which Vollmann cites, Uncentering is an interpretive exploration of how this world-changing knowledge was and is understood." Library Journal
"Though peppered with intrigue and conflict and even a little human interest, Vollmann's close reading of Revolutions is not for the scientifically fainthearted, full of head-spinning sentences....Stick with it, though, and there's much to learn about a book little studied today." Kirkus Reviews
"Highly personal and philosophical . . . the next best thing to reading Copernicus."--
In 1543, the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus lay on his deathbed, reportedly holding his just-published masterpiece, , in his hands. Placing the sun at the center of the universe, Copernicus launched modern science, leading to a completely new understanding of the universe, and humanity's place within it. But what did Copernicus really believe? Some argue that he anticipated the vast secularizing impact his ideas would have on history. Others contend that Copernicus was a man of his time and, on the whole, accepted its worldview. William T. Vollmann navigates this territory with the energetic prose and powerful intelligence for which he is known, providing a fresh and enlightening explication of Copernicus, his book, and his time, and the momentous clash between them.

2014 Fall Schedule | 2014 Fall Printable Schedule
MADISON, Wis.- When the weather starts cooling down, there is only one place to go and that place is Goodman Diamond to cheer on the Badgers. The Wisconsin softball team will host three doubleheaders and another single game this fall.
The Badgers' fall season will get underway with a doubleheader against Green Bay on Sept. 21. The last time the two saw each other, Wisconsin swept the series and had one of its most memorable games of the 2014 season. The Badgers stole game one in dramatic fashion after rallying back from a four-run deficit in the seventh inning and a single from Mary Massei closed the deal for UW, 9-8.
Wisconsin will face some first-time opponents on Sept. 26 against Highland College. The Badgers will host a doubleheader versus Kirkwood Community College on Sept. 28.
The fall season wraps up when the Badgers take on UW Parkside in a doubleheader on Oct. 12.

Treasure Coast Fishing Report: Sept. 19, 2013
Check in daily for the latest in fishing news on the Treasure Coast
Nedra Maxwell, of the Sebastian Inlet District, reported extremely powerful tides with the full moon Wednesday. Fishing has been steady for mangrove snapper, redfish and snook, although it has been difficult to find slot-sized fish of the latter two. Inshore, there have been some trout and redfish caught along the mangroves, where there is some habitat for smaller forage bait fish which are preyed upon by reds and trout.
Jon Repass, of White's Tackle in Fort Pierce, reported consistent offshore fishing the past few days with dolphin and sailfish caught from 80 to 120 feet. There has been an "awesome" trout bite to the north of town with large numbers of catches and a few large fish. The best redfish catches have been on live bait, he said. The nighttime snook fishing has been good on the incoming tide.
Capt. Jonathan Earhart, of Chaos Fishing Adventures in Jensen Beach, said the mullet run has reached the region in the Indian River Lagoon and many snook, tarpon, jacks, redfish, trout and flounder are feeding on them. His clients Tuesday caught undersized snook, keeper reds, overslot trout, a few small tarpon and one over 100 pounds. Tarpon were caught at first light.
Capt. Mike Shellen, of Okeechobeebassfishing.com, said the shorter days and cloudy weather have resulted in cooler water temperatures. That always leads to better bass fishing with a longer period of action in the early morning. A spinner bait is still a great lure to tie on to begin the fishing day. Smaller bass will school up around Indian Prairie Canal and Harney Pond Canal, so catch numbers there can be quite good.

I graduated from Madonna University in 1988 with a BA in Commercial Art and one credit hour shy of a BA in Fine Art. I love taking pictures. It is an addiction. I have my camera with me EVERYWHERE, and I often see an irresistable shot practically EVERYWHERE. It's fun. It's exciting. Capturing an image that freezes a moment, holds an interesting visual and often puts an artistic spin on the everyday sights is just plain fun. And I love it. Having others see my pictures and enjoying them makes it all the more pleasant and enjoyable. That's how I went from buying my first digital camera a couple years ago to posting my photos on Fine Art America. I consider this a healthy addiction, and I doubt there is a cure. At least I wouldn't want to...

This tutorial is to help you with SFF. It is known as the #1 Sega Saturn emulator. Emulation quality isn't quite perfect yet, but so far it's really good! You should appreciate this because Saturn emulation has had a sour history. It was only until the late 00's that Saturn emulators were emulating at a near perfect quality, versus PSX emulation that reached its level of near perfect quality in the early 00's. The Sega Saturn has 6 processors, and it wasn't easy for emulator authors to emulate them.
*If you would like to download SSF, I have it in my emulators page.
Saturn BIOS
Unlike other emulators, SSF does not require the BIOS to be configured in order to boot up games. But if you really really want to get the BIOS and configure it, you can download it from my emulators page. Really though, it's not necessary.
Extracting, Placement & Starting Up
I suggest you make a new folder called "Saturn" within a folder called "Emulation". You don't have to, but it makes things a little easier for you if you're not too computer literate. Extract all the contents of this emulator's zip file into the Saturn folder. If you don't know how to extract files from a zip file then read this. It'll be easier if you toss all your Saturn ISO's into this folder too. Double-click on "SSF" to open it.
DirectX (XAudio2Create error)
SSF requires the latest version of DirectX to work. Without it SSF may not open, giving you errors such as this:
XAudio2Create() error.
File : ./XAudio2.cpp
Line : 219
Function : XAudio2_Initialize
What is DirectX? Think of it as a bundle of support files that help games run better, provided by Microsoft (for free). Anyway, you can download the latest version of DirectX here.
Setting up the BIOS
FYI, setting up the BIOS is not necessary in order to boot up games. But if you insist, here's how:
1. It's best to extract the contents of the BIOS zip files into SSF's folder. It's easier this way.
2. Click on the Option menu, then Option; like so.
3. You'll arrive here. In the "Saturn BIOS" box, click the Browse button.
4. The "Select Saturn BIOS file" window will pop up, which is this window. Click on "us_100.bin", then click Open.
5. Back in the Options window, in the "ST-V BIOS" box, click the Browse button.
6. The "Select STV BIOS file" window will pop up, which is this window. Click on "stv110.bin", then click Open.
7. Click OK and you're done. The BIOS is now configured!
Q: SSF opens so tiny!
SSF initially opens up small (as shown toward the right). Just wait a few moments. SSF will eventually load into an expanded window, as any other traditional emulator looks like.
Setting up your keyboard or gamepad
1. Click on the Options menu then Option, as shown here.
2. Click the Controller tab.
3. You'll arrive to this screen. Click the Redefine button.
4. Follow the prompt that pops up and press the keys on your keyboard or gamepad button that you would like the given button to be assigned to.
Booting CD games
Just open SSF to boot games. Really, it's that simple! If you inserted the game while SSF is open, close it and re-open it.
Booting CD images (ISO)
Unfortunately, SSF does not support booting ISO files. However, there are two things you can do to work around that.
1. Use a virtual CD-ROM program to trick SSF into thinking your ISO is a CD in your CD-ROM. You can use Virtual CloneDrive for that; it's free. However, virtual CD-ROM programs only support common CD image formats like ISO and BIN. If your game is in an obscure format like NRG, IMG, UIF, DAA, CDI, XBX, B51, BWI, etc. - a virtual CD-ROM program is not an option.
2. Burn the ISO as a valid Saturn game. Go here for directions.
Booting CD images with Virtual CloneDrive
1. Download and install Virtual CloneDrive.
2. Next we need to configure CloneDrive in SSF. Open SSF. Click on the Option menu then Option; like so.
3. Look in the "CD Drive" box. Click the drop-down and choose ELBY CLONEDRIVE, as shown here.
4. Click OK and close SSF. You'll get a weird "SSF?????" message - ignore it. I'm assuming that message is lost Japanese telling you to restart SSF.
5. Because you installed CloneDrive, a CD icon should now be in the lower right (next to the time). Right-click this icon, click Drive then Mount.
6. The "Virtual CloneDrive Drive" window will pop up. If your Saturn CD image is an ISO then you'll see it here. If it's a BIN then you need to click CloneCD/DVD Images in the lower right, then click Other Images; as shown here. If your Saturn game doesn't show up then its format isn't supported. Anyhow, click on your Saturn game and click Open.
7. Now open SSF and your Saturn game should automatically be booting up.
Q: I get a black screen when I boot games!
This is tricky. Consider the following:
• First of all, give SSF a minute or two before you decide that nothing is happening; maybe the game takes a while to boot.
• See if the game you're trying to play even works with SSF - check the compatiblity list.
• If this is a Saturn ISO that you downloaded, perhaps it's bad. Try this:
• I've been told that sometimes bad ISOs can be repaired. Try using CDmage's "Scan for Corruption" feature, then use "Fix Corruption" if it finds anything.
• Try downloading the game from another place.
• It's a possibility that your computer may not be compatible with SSF. SSF requires the following processors:
SSF requires the processor to have the SSE2 instruction set, so a Pentium 4, Pentium M, Opteron, Athlon 64, Sempron (64bit), Turion 64 or better are necessary to run it.
Q: I get a "Direct3D9::_initializeDirect3D9" error
Upon booting a game, you might receive this error:
IDirect3DDevice9::CreatePixelShader() error.
File : ./Direct3D9.cpp
Line : 1180
Function : Direct3D9::_initializeDirect3D9
The only troubleshooting measure you can try is to download the latest version of DirectX. If that doesn't help then your computer isn't compatible with SSF. Sorry :(
Full screen mode
Simply press Alt+Enter to have SSF enter full screen mode. Then press Alt+Enter again to exit full screen mode.
Screen renders
SSF offers two filters for rendering the screen: Scanline and Bilinear Filtering. To enable them:
1. Go to the Option menu and click Option, like so.
2. Click on the Screen tab, and you'll arrive here.
2. Put a check in either "Scanline" or "Bilinear Filtering", or both! Look below for samples of these filters. Click OK when you're done.
Save States
Save states save the exact spot you are in a game. To save a state, go to the File menu then State Save, as shown here. Then go to State Load to recall it.
Capturing screen shots
To capture a screen shot, go to the File menu then Snapshot, as shown here. SSF will toss the screen shot into the "Snapshot" folder within SSF's folder.
Q: SSF crashes on start!
This can be tricky because this could be caused by many things.
• In most cases, this happens simply because you don't have the latest version of DirectX installed - so go here to download the latest version.
• See if the game you're trying to play even works with SSF - check the compatiblity list.
Q: SSF crashes mid game and gives CPK error
At certain points in a game, SSF may suddenly crash and give you this error: "CPK error 0x00000301". Particularly, this happens in Dragon Force 2 when you select a kingdom. Unfortunately there is no fix for this problem. The game you're playing is not compatible with SSF.
Q: Where can I download Saturn games?
Ah, the golden question. Downloading games is a little tricky since the Saturn isn't exactly a popular system. Torrents are probably your best option. When in a torrent site, search using keywords like "shining force 3", "shining force iii" and such to find the game you're looking for.
Copying Saturn games
It's ridiculously easy to copy Saturn games. The CD copy feature of any burning software can easily create a working copy for Saturn emulators (I recommend Nero Burning Rom, Easy CD Creator, or ImgBurn (free)). However, remember that copies do not work on the actual Sega Saturn system.
Burning Saturn games from CD images (ISO)
If your CD image is in ISO or BIN format...
Things are much easier if your Saturn game is in a common format like ISO or BIN. You can burn it with any major burning software, software like Nero Burning Rom, Easy CD Creator, FireBurner. If you're too poor (like me) for the good burning software, there's Imgburn, a 100% free burning program; you can download Imgburn here (2 MB). So to burn the game with these programs:
• Burning with Imgburn: Click Write image file to disk, then click the magnifying glass to select the cue sheet. Lower write speed to around 4x-12x. Then click the large pretty picture of the CD to burn.
• Burning with Nero Burning Rom: Go to the Recorder menu then Burn Image (but first make sure you're in normal mode instead of Express mode). If you're given the option to burn the game as "Track-at-once" or "Disc-at-once", choose "Disc-at-once". Make sure to burn the game at a slow speed (like around 4x-12x speed).
Note: Do not use a DVD-R or DVD-RW for burning Saturn games! You must use a CD-R or CD-RW.
If your CD image is in NRG, IMG, UIF, DAA, CDI, XBX, B51, BWI, or other...
These formats are exclusive to specific burning software. You need to Google around to find what program is associated with that format. Through that program you can burn the game. However, these exclusive burning programs usually require purchase in order to use. If you want my opinion, I say just forget about the obscure format and download the game from somewhere else to get it in ISO or BIN format.

text: I have 2 job offers and I dont know which one to go for! I need help please! One is at a MAC store in a mall and the other is a Nordstrom to be a manager at the Trish McEvoy counter. I have been trying to get a job at MAC for few months now and then I finally applied at Nordstroms thinking it would also be a good place for me and right away I got an interview and was offered the job, Trish is not my favorite brand of makeup but its still a good line and after a few months I will be able to switch counter and I like Nordstrom because they do cross selling so if Trish Foundation isnt right for someone I could sell them MAC or Clinique or any brand rather than being limited to only Trish products. But my main goal was to get into MAC but now they didnt call me back until after I was offered the job at Nordstrom and I have been so excited to start as a manager there. What do I do?!?! Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone worked for either company and can tell me the pro's and con's to help me decide? I would prefer to have a set schedule rather than it changing weekly. I would really appreciate any advice.
