Photo Mania Demo
editor's review
1 comment
buy now $9.99
Photography is a hobby many people pick up along the way, mainly because it's only natural to take pictures of the things you like. However, if you decide to make a profit out of it and use your skills to snap photos of people in an organized studio, you need to uphold certain standards. As such, it's imperative that you listen to the client's request, otherwise they won't be happy with the results.
Start a photography business and turn a profit
Photo Mania is a casual time management game in which your primary goal is to use your camera to photograph people using a variety of backdrops. Not only that, but you must also print the said photos and present them to each customer, only to be rewarded for your accuracy and speed. After a while, you'll be able to afford better gear and larger studios to accommodate more people.
In the beginning, you'll have to make due with an outside setup, where clients just come and stand in front of a colored background. You must reach a certain profit each day, otherwise you fail the level and you have to do it all over again. Naturally, you have an entire day at your disposal, except things are not so simple. The game punishes every wrong click, and you are often forced to retake the photos just because of a tiny mistake.
Annoying gameplay mechanics and repetitive gameplay
The most obnoxious feature of the game is the fact that you have to click on the same object multiple times, but in a specific order. In case you happen to wrongly click when you're not supposed to, the entire procedure fails, and you have to take it from the top. Naturally, this can be considered part of the challenge, if everything else wasn't so boring and repetitive at the same time.
In essence, things don't actually change along the way, regardless of how much money you gain. Even if you upgrade your equipment, the visual cues don't change all that much, which makes it difficult to keep playing without any actual rewards. Furthermore, while the graphics are not exactly bad, there are only a handful of customer models waltzing past the studio every day, just to make things even more monotonous.
A lackluster game with too many annoyances
All things being equal, Photo Mania choose a nice subject for itself and a niche that's not very touched by the industry. However, the gameplay is too dull and repetitive to be any fun, which is why you may have a difficult time playing it for more than a few minutes.

Fortune's Fool: Edgar Bronfman, Jr., Warner Music, and an Industry in Crisis
Simon and Schuster, Jul 13, 2010 - Business & Economics - 336 pages
In 1999, when Napster made music available free online, the music industry found itself in a fight for its life. A decade later, the most important and misunderstood story—and the one with the greatest implications for both music lovers and media companies—is how the music industry has failed to remake itself. In Fortune's Fool, Fred Goodman, the author of The Mansion on the Hill, shows how this happened by presenting the singular history of Edgar M. Bronfman Jr., the controversial heir to Seagram's, who, after dismantling his family's empire and fortune, made a high-stakes gamble to remake both the music industry and his own reputation.
Napster had successfully blown the industry off its commercial foundations because all that the old school label heads knew how to do was record and market hits. So when Bronfman took over the Warner Music Group in 2004, his challenge was to create a new kind of record executive.
Goodman finds the source of the crisis in the dissolution of the old Warner Music Group, the brilliant conglomerate of Atlantic, Elektra, and Warner Bros. Records. He shows how Doug Morris, the head of Atlantic Records, rose through the ranks and rode the CD bonanza of the 1990s to enormous corporate and personal profit before becoming embroiled in an ego-driven corporate turf war, and how all of Warner's record executives were blindsided when AOL/Time-Warner announced in 2003 that it wanted nothing more to do with the record industry. When the music group was finally sold to Bronfman, it was a ghost of itself.
Bronfman built an aggressive, streamlined team headed by Lyor Cohen, whose relentless ambition and discipline had helped build Def Jam Records. They instituted a series of daring initiatives intended to give customers legitimate online music choices and took market share from Warner's competitors. But despite these efforts, illegal downloads still outnumber legitimate ones 19–1.
Most of the talk of a new world of music and media has proven empty; despite the success of iTunes, even wildly popular sites like YouTube and MySpace have not found a way to make money with music. Instead, Warner and the other labels are diversifying and forcing young artists to give them a cut of their income from touring, publishing, and merchandising. Meanwhile, the average downloader isn't even meeting forward-thinking musicians halfway. Each time a young band finds a following through music websites, it's a unique story; no formula has emerged. If one does, Warner is probably in a better position than anyone to exploit it. But at the end of the day, If is the one-word verdict on Bronfman's big bet.

Illuminating book. Tends to be dead on. The one part they kind of leave out is that Edgar is a really nice guy who actually understands technology and wants to embrace it. He also has a real passion for music. Read full review

Great bed, bad delivery Andrea from Seattle, WA on 08/27/2014 – Verified Buyer
I love this bed-- it was easy to assemble and looks great in my apartment. However, the local delivery company really let us down: despite emails telling us they would be calling us before delivery and confirming a delivery window, the delivery truck showed up early without warning and then called to tell us they were leaving our new furniture unsecured on the sidewalk outside our apartment building. They would not wait for one of us to run home. Very irresponsible.

Arrived super fast and was super easy to put together and looks wonderful. The finish is only one coat and a bit thin and therefore scratches easy so be careful when assembling it. I'm sleeping like a baby in my new bed. Love it!

Nick Saracino gave the Friars a 2-0 lead with his first goal of the season.
Nov. 16, 2013
BURLINGTON, Vt. -- The No. 5/6 Providence College men's hockey team used goals from Ross Mauermann, Nick Saracino and Kevin Rooney and a shutout performance from Jon Gillies to record a 3-0 win at Gutterson Arena on Saturday night to complete a weekend sweep of the Catamounts.
With the shutout, Gillies, a sophomore, becomes Providence's all-time leader in career shutouts with eight. Providence improves to 9-1-1 (5-1-0 HEA) on the season with the win, while Vermont is now 3-5-1 (2-4-0 HEA). With 10 points, the Friars currently sit atop the Hockey East standings.
After a scoreless first period, Mauermann (Janesville, Wis.) got the Friars on the board at 5:59 of the second when he lifted a quick snapshot over Mike Santaguida's shoulder at the near post for his 10th goal of the year. Sophomore Steven McParland (Schreiber, Ontario) created the chance when he checked a UVM defenseman in the near corner to jar the puck lose and then sent it to Mauermann.
The Friars continued to pressure in the offensive zone and less than a minute after Mauermann rang one off the post, he fed sophomore Saracino (St. Louis, Mo.) in the high slot, who fired a shot past Santaguida for his first goal of the season at 8:53.
The Friars took a 3-0 lead at 14:18 of the third when sophomore Rooney (Canton, Mass.) scored his first of the year by beating Santaguida high to the glove side. McParland and senior Kevin Hart (Cumberland, Maine) assisted on the play, giving McParland his second assist of the night.
All told, Gillies made 23 saves to earn his record-setting eighth career shutout in just his 45th-career start. Santaguida made 19 saves for the Catamounts. The Friars were 0-for-3 with the man advantage, while Vermont was 0-for-2 on the power play.
The Friars are home for a two-game series versus New Hampshire next weekend. Game one is slated to begin at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22 and will be televised locally on Cox Sports on OSN.
In his 45th start as a Friar, Jon Gillies became Providence's all-time leader in career shutouts with eight, surpassing the seven career shutouts Tyler Sims had (2004-08) … With a goal and an assist, Ross Mauermann notched his sixth multi-point game of the season … Mauermann has at least a point in nine of Providence's 11 games … There was a ceremonial puck drop preceding the game between Team IMPACT players Kevin Rich (Providence College) and Jack Lyman (Vermont) … Derek Army skated in his 121st consecutive game of his Friar career (he has played every game since arriving on campus) … Steven McParland notched two assists to move his season total to six, a single season career-high mark ... It was the first time (in five tries) the Friars earned consecutive wins at the Gutterson Fieldhouse on back-to-back nights.

|Reviews for All's Fine That Ends Okay
| Readers-Section chapter 142 . 5/15/2011
Intense. Phew.
Now do we get expositions in the coming chapters?
| Puffin Person chapter 141 . 5/13/2011
Maybe you gave Vash that characteristic because you don't seem to use contractions either. When you're talking as yourself, at least. I always feel awkward reviewing serious chapters, so I'll leave it at that.
| Readers-Section chapter 141 . 5/13/2011
Wow, the police force finally gets the chance to show their worth...Vash really makes an excellent policeman, no fussing, no rushing around, sound theories.
Lack if contractions suit them both for some reason.
| Readers-Section chapter 140 . 5/11/2011
And the plot thickens so much that it's possibly become rock-solid...this is a very good thing.
So if Marcus remembers Jennifer/Anthea, then she is
possibly very old too, and she is a con artist whom he conned so...he...maybe got the orb thing away from her? And she probably didn't know exactly what it was but guessed? Lots of theories abound, as you see.
Also curious to see how she knew about Alfred and Matthew...I get the feeling she's better acquainted with the people of Hearth than is obvious. Also, I get the feeling that Ethan has a larger role to play on this too...anyway, guess we just have to wait for the story to continue. (
| Readers-Section chapter 139 . 5/7/2011
Well finally time for Alfred to be a hero, I hope. Poor Muhammad. Wrong place, wrong time, and some EVIL people. On a side-note, it's interesting to know that of the five, he's the one who wonders about their immortality the least and enjoys it the most.
| Albinokitten chapter 138 . 5/6/2011
Lovely chapter! *happy* I love how those two fit together!
| Puffin Person chapter 138 . 5/5/2011
That was one of the better chapter titles, I think.
This chapter was very smiley. I guess that's a weird way of describing something, but it just felt very full of smiles. And thank you for the link to Siren.
| Haiko chapter 138 . 5/5/2011
You, my dear author, are a cruel person.
I could not sit still since I've read last chapter, checking for an update every few hours or so, and then, when you finally updated it is about Gupta and Heracles :: I almost cried in frustration! *desperately wants to know what is going to happen with Maddox*
Nevertheless, the chapter is very nice :3
I adore the way you presented Heracles' feelings and how just by his behavior we can see how much he actually loves Gupta. This is even easier to understand because of how you show them communicating, especially when it comes to Gupta as he doesn't say many things aloud.
Another aspect that I am more than happy about, is how the tension between them two erased the possibility of having this confession scene overly sweet, if you see where I am going here. Fluff and stuff is good, but it doesn't suit them very well.
And finally the ending is beautifully simple 3
[Please, please! Let the next chapter reveal what has happened to Muhammad (and Maddox) ::)
| crimson-obsidian-rose chapter 138 . 5/5/2011
Oh, yes yes YES! This is the chapter I've been waiting for for so long (because these two are my OTP and ever so rare). I love the struggle they were both having to try and deal with the elephant in the room. It was very in character and had a very sweet resolution, and I really enjoyed this chapter!
| Nerica chapter 138 . 5/5/2011
Finally something going smoothly and easy peasy. Haha these two are cute that way.
Keep writing~
| Italiangurlinamessedupworld chapter 137 . 5/4/2011
I feel so bad for Maddox/Kong.
Ethan and Jennifer were idiots to think that Angelique wouldn't notice.
Keep writing.
| Readers-Section chapter 137 . 5/2/2011
I THOUGHT it was Muhammad who got hurt! ...But there's no point saying that AFTER it's Bren reveale anyway. -_- Silly me.
Noooo, he's going to be okay, right? And why didn't anyone notice him being brought back and put to bed or something? In assuming Ethan brought him back, for obvious reasons...and poor Maddox. Kong. There needs to be a more detailed revelation of what his life was like prior to Hearth and Yao and Arthur...
| Puffin Person chapter 137 . 5/2/2011
Well, that went from lighthearted (Is that the wrong word to use? Peaceful might be better.) to worrisome quickly. I'm not sure what to say about this chapter. It's (more than) a bit of a shock to me too. Very sudden. That's my comment on it. I'll go before I start rambling.
I tried to find Siren, but I couldn't. It's probably just me being unobservant, but I would appreciate help. Thanks!
| Puffin Person chapter 136 . 5/2/2011
So Roderich figured it out.. and Gill still has no clue. Or at least doesn't think it matters enough to think about. I love this town. And if Elizaveta has the baby before you end the story, I hope you write that scene.
| Readers-Section chapter 136 . 5/1/2011
Yay! I love Roderich and Gilbert interaction! Haha, Gilbert's growing on people is less of an acquired taste and more of a cancerous tumour...that's really funny.
I have the same concept of these two being more scared of birth than Elizaveta! And I also always imagined that Gilbert would initially try to play it cool and manly and probably make fun of Roderich for being a wuss...and then fall to the same level where both would be freaking out and needing more emotional support that Eliza. I also see frying-pans flying soon after the birth. XD

TEMPE, Ariz. -- If you imagine the Arizona State defense as a human body, its easy to identify some key body parts. Linebacker Brandon Magee is the brain, calling plays, coordinating his teammates efforts and making sure everybody is on the same page. Alden Darby is the mouth, communicating every thought that enters his mind, from reads in the secondary to opinions on opponents mamas. And Will Sutton? That should be obvious to anyone who has watched the Sun Devils defensive tackle flex, sprint and scream after he makes a tackle in the backfield. It may sound clichd, but Sutton is the heart of this defense, and when he makes a play and celebrates with unbridled passion, heavily oxygenated blood starts pumping to the rest of the unit. We want him to get excited when he makes a play, because our defensive team draws off of that, defensive coordinator Paul Randolph said. Hes the catalyst. The love he has for the game and making plays and showing his exuberance -- it gets everybody p...

Ashton Kutcher Gets Steve Jobs Makeover (Photos)
The "Two and a Half Men" star was photographed in full character on the set of the late Apple CEO's biopic.
Scruffy beard? Check. Hair combed loosely to the side? Check. Sloppy-fitting black turtleneck? Check. Baggy dad jeans? Check.
The get-up was certainly not fit for the Met Costume Gala last week, but it blended perfectly on set of the Steve Jobs biopic, which began filming this month. New photos have been released of none other than the perpetually shaggy Ashton Kutcher -- looking shaggier than usual -- dressed as the late Apple CEO on set in LA on Friday.
PHOTOS: Memorable Moments From Steve Jobs' Career
When the initial news broke that the That 70s Show star would be playing the iconic Jobs character, Apple fanboys doubted the casting choice. But the man behind the indie project, Mark Hulme, has defended the actor.
"Since our film covers the early years of Apple, when Jobs was in his 20s, we needed an actor who could carry not only the youthfulness of Jobs at the time but also the psychological complexity," Hulme told Neowin.net in an interview last month. "Because of that, and Ashton's physical similarities to Jobs, he's perfect for our film."
VIDEOS: Remembering Steve Jobs
The film will cover Jobs' life from 1971 to 2000 and will cost roughly $15 million to produce.

Building the Ultimate Linux Box
Like many hackers of a certain age, I imprinted on the IBM Model M keyboard about 20 years ago. They have a relatively stiff travel with a sharp break and a positive keyclick that can only be described as crunchy. They inspire cult-like devotion. It's still possible to buy the real Model M, armor-plated case and all. They're not being manufactured anymore, but old stocks are still being sold. You want these IBM model numbers: 42H1292 (IBM 101-key, buckling-spring keyboard) and 1393278 (IBM SpaceSaver compact, heavy-duty 84 keyboard). They're both available from Unicomp. The dream system will get one of the 101-key PC-2 versions.
For my own use, I'll keep my original three-button Logitech TrackMan Marble. Sadly, Logitech doesn't make the original Marble any more; the replacement has a rather obtrusive wheel replacing the middle button.
There is only one possible modem for the dream system: the US Robotics V.Everything, external version. This featureful, rock-solid, reliable modem is the first choice of discriminating hackers everywhere. Rick has written an entertaining rant on the likely consequences of choosing lesser external modems, or any internal modem at all.
The floppy drive is a relic of the age before bootable CD-ROMs. Occasionally you'll want one for booting up diagnostic software. A plain old TEAC 1.44 3.5" drive will do.
Oh, yes, the software. I realize that the topic of favorite Linux distribution is a religious war, but I can't resist putting in a plug for my own favorite: KRUD Linux from Kevin Fenzi and the good folks at tummy.com. Subscribing to KRUD gives you a Red Hat base plus a monthly update, including all security fixes and a tasty selection of additional programs and tools.
We have two SCSI controllers. That's good, because we also have both LVD and single-ended SCSI devices in our parts list. Daryll observes:
LVD drives can drive the bus at 40MHz and 80MHz, whereas single-ended cannot. If you mix single-ended and LVD, the bus degrades to single-ended. So a bus with a single-ended device tops out at 20MHz Wide SCSI or 40MB/s, whereas LVD gets you up to 160MB/s.
Thus, we want to assemble the dream machine with two SCSI chains: a high-speed wide/LVD chain for the hard drives and tape, and a low-speed narrow/single-end chain for the CD-RW and DVD-ROM. We used an SM-20 from The Mate Company to convert the second motherboard channel to 50-pin narrow SCSI.
Because the hard drives are likely to be significant heat generators, we mount them with the spare internal bay between them, rather than stacking them in adjacent drive bays, to get better airflow.
The Antec case makes it possible to mount the intake fan directly in front of the hard disks. Normally, with drives in this class, the drives and the bay enclosure become uncomfortably hot to the touch; with this setup, the warmth is barely noticeable. This is a good thing because it probably extends the expected lifetime of the drives significantly. Another fan near the power supply at the rear helps pull air out of the machine. We ended up mounting a third fan because we noticed the memory chips seemed to be running hot.
We'll have two expansion cards in the machine, the SoundBlaster Live! and the Radeon. The Radeon will probably tend to run hot, the SoundBlaster not. Happily, the Radeon lives in the AGP slot at the upper end of the slot row, where the air it heats will be sucked into the two rear fans.
How does our noise budget look? IBM says our UltraStars emit 48dBA each, PCP & C says the power supply emits 44dBA and the fans 20dBA each, and Tom's Hardware rated the Silverado at 37dBA (but there are two). Applying the logarithmic-sum formula gives us 52dBA as the level of interior noise. Assuming the case blocks 8dB, that will leave us with an exterior noise level of 44dBA adjacent to the case. We can trim another 5dB or so by putting the machine desk-side.
Recalculating with four or five case fans barely nudges the second decimal place in the total. This means that in case our initial burn-in reveals a heat problem; we've got room to cool things down without making the machine substantially noisier.
Gary Sandine and John Pearson at Los Alamos Computers undertook to assemble my Ultimate Linux Box; in fact, they assembled two, one for me and one for Linus Torvalds. They solicited the vendors on our list for donations of parts, and their courage was rewarded when IBM generously volunteered $15,000 for the project budget.
Re: Building the Ultimate Linux Box
Hi Eric - Nice article ...
Shame about the mother board though... it is apparently JUNK! If you are thinking of parting with your hard earned cash in exchange for a Tyan Thunder K7 MB you would be well advised to read ALL of this!
The next couple of paragraphs will give an insite as to why and the link(s) that follows will reveal the whole sorry mess....
TAKEN FROM:- http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/article/1325/
We have a bit of a problem here. Before reading any further, read this thread here http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/Forum2/HTML/010991.html, and this one here http://www.amdforums.com/showthread.php?s=e85326da9d32b72654e6d48a05f1e2...

Re: Building the Ultimate Linux Box
Well, yes the mother board suggested seems to be barely worth it's weight in packaging bubbles...So I still want to build an ULB---> but I'm I'm really not on top of my hardware info...Any replacement motherboards to suggest?
Re: Building the Ultimate Linux Box
I am puzzeled by your choice of components. First the CPU's and MB, AMD processors are better space heaters then CPU's, Xeon's run much cooler and use a 400MHZ FSB. Next the MB, why an integrated SCSI controller? I would use a MB with 64 bit PCI slots and 29160 or 39160 controller that could upgrade to a U320 controller when available. Next the hard drives, I would use Seagate Cheetah X15 drives, 3.6ms access time, U320 standard now, better throughput and above all faster warranty turn around. The MB would use a 860 chipset to avoid compatability issues like video timing. I dislike trouble shooting and resolving problems that should not occur. I realize that I may have angered some AMD bigots but I am a pragmatist and have fewer problems with Intel, so it is the path of least resistance. For those that wish to argue benchmark performance everthing come to a screeching halt when you need to resolve compatability problems, the score is 0 when your machine is down.
Re: Building the Ultimate Linux Box
Thank you for a well written article. Being technically disabled there is a part I don't understand.
If there is a floppy-there is ide yes/no?
If yes is there not already the 10% hit ?
Quess I would have saved a few pennies taking non scsi cd-rw and dvd-rom and a possible hit here and using both scsi channels for the hard drives with the backup chained to one. Like I said technically disabled but favor daily improvement over hit for occasional cd write.

20 Facts You Probably Didn't Know About Tom Cruise Movies
Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but you keep seeing his movies.
Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but you keep seeing his movies.
The biggest problem with the concept of 'Ghostbusters 3' is the fact that 'Ghostbusters' still very much exists and is pretty much perfect. This fact will be reconfirmed when the original is re-released later this summer as part of the film's 30th anniversary celebration, which will also include a new Blu-ray release.
Warning: If you have not seen 'Frozen' or the newly released 'Maleficent,' there are spoilers contained in this article from both films.
Ready for a great way to spend the weekend?
For once it's an awesome 'Frozen' cover that doesn't involve the song 'Let It Go.'
With the latest X-Men movie opening in theaters today, isn't it about time you got to really know the mutants' universe?
Young-adult movies aren't all romance and supernatural stuff, and in a few months we'll see one of the most acclaimed young-adult novels of all time brought to life on the big screen with 'The Giver.' But before then, we've got a whole set of big, beautiful new character posters to introduce you to the cast.
Today, the Morning Crew started a poll on your favorite Military or Patriotic movies.
We're looking forward to '22 Jump Street,' because -- though comedy sequels are a tricky business (see for instance 'Anchorman 2') -- the chemistry between Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in the latest clips from the movie looks stronger than ever.
For the past year or so, we've been calling 'Batman vs. Superman' 'Batman vs. Superman' only because we didn't have an official title. There were rumors of 'World's Finest' but nothing was ever confirmed as an official title for the film, but 'Batman vs...
Even though the story behind 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' has been around for 33 years now, the idea of a superhero movie meshed with a movie about time travel seems, let's say … daunting. Especially for a superhero franchise like X-Men, which is known for having a lot of superheroes.
It's just that it's hard enough to make a big-budget superhero movie make sense (as the so very recent 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' taught us) -- and adding the cinematic equivalent of pai gow (at least, nothing confuses me more than pai gow) to this whole equation seemed like kind of a bad idea. I mean, how many time travel movies make sense in the first place, beyond the 'Back to the Futures' and the 'Loopers' and the 'Primers' of the word? And none of those movies have dozens and dozens of mutants to keep track of their whereabouts.
Well, this is an unexpected and perfect surprise: the latest internet buzz suggests that the absolutely brilliant 'Gravity' director Alfonso Cuaron is in talks to helm the Harry Potter spin-off 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.' Take all of this with a grain of salt until an official announcement arrives, but it's difficult to imagine a more perfect choice for the job.

Opinion: Soccer won't be a major sportPublished 6:18am Monday, June 16, 2014 Updated 8:18am Monday, June 16, 2014
It happens every time the World Cup rolls around.
There's always a panel discussion on why Americans lack interest in soccer. There are always soccer enthusiasts who say the explosion of youth soccer, and the influx of immigrants, will mean soccer inevitably become a major sport in the U.S. There are thoughts that, once that happens, the U.S. team will become a soccer power.
Yet, it never happens. I have my doubts it ever will in my lifetime.
I have had a few soccer moments over the years. I remember watching the North American Soccer League playoffs between the Minnesota Kicks and New York Cosmos in 1978, when the Cosmos won in a shootout. I remember Kicks players Tino Lettieri and forward Allan Willey, and of course, Cosmos' star and perhaps the most famous soccer player ever, Pele.
When I was 8 years old, I was watching every sporting event the television offered. (Based on my daughter's media consumption habits, I now understand how that could be.)
Like every other sport, I learned how to play soccer, dribbling in my yard, kicking the ball against the house wall, and playing games with neighborhood kids in our back yards. In high school, we had a regular weekly game. It was great fun, and a lot of great exercise, because in soccer, you're basically running all the time.
In high school and college, we got into the hacky-sack craze, kicking around that stuffed, soft mini-ball between groups of three or four people. I never became good at that activity, and it wasn't due to a lack of time dedication.
More recently, I signed my daughter up for youth soccer. She preferred to practice her dance moves in the middle of the field rather than chase after the ball. Her soccer career ended after one season.
Fergus Falls has had a few good soccer teams over the years. Hillcrest and Pelican Rapids have had some good teams too, mostly because the two schools enroll far more foreign-born students than Fergus Falls.
Every four years, I at least make a stab at watching a World Cup game or two.
But for all my dabblings in soccer, I just can't get into it the way I follow American football. I don't get the strategy, and while the skills of the players are impressive, it's hard to distinguish the great players from the average ones.
When I watch American football, I value an 80-yard run by Adrian Peterson, or a 12-play, two-minute offensive drive, or a sack by Jared Allen. I can recognize a bubble screen and a cornerback blitz, and know that the Vikings' Tampa-2 defensive scheme, or at least poor execution of it, played a significant role in the defense giving up five game-winning touchdowns in the final two minutes last season.
When I have vacationed in Mexico, we were near soccer stadiums during matches, and it was obvious the fans coming out of the stadium could rattle off similar types of details about the game they were watching. The looks on their faces (and their painted faces and T-shirts) said the game wasn't a novelty to them, but a passion. When I was in Scotland, the newspaper sports sections blasted soccer results in huge headlines, with massive photos. Newspapers don't play stories like that unless readers think they're important. Believe me when I tell you this.
As for the immigrants in the U.S., the advent of the Internet and satellite television means those born in a foreign country can watch and follow the teams from their home country, far more interesting than a soccer game in a U.S. professional league.
Soccer enthusiasts in positions of power would like to see soccer become as big as the NFL in the U.S. If American football is banned one day because it is too dangerous — and someday, that may very well be — then soccer almost certainly will grow immensely in popularity.
But unless that happens, I'm not sure there's room for soccer in the hearts of Americans.
Other than when their 9-year-old child is playing the game, of course.

This was a last minute holiday to Japan. I couldn't buy tickets to the Ghibli Museum through the authorised Australian outlet, so was very please to obtain them by going on this tour.
Travelling by train and local bus was fun. Our guide was good, though we did have difficulty hearing her in some of the museum rooms as they were a bit noisy. Nevertheless, it was good fun and we had a good afternoon.
Smooth and efficient tour. The tourguide was knowledgeable about Hayao Miyazaki and his animations and we gained a lot of information. Worth the tour if your command of Japanese is poor since the whole museum is in Japanese. Also interesting for animation enthusiasts.
The museum was nice. For a big fan of Miyazaki, our 10-year old, it was time and money well spent! The tour guide was helpful, however, we wished he had given us more background information about the museum, about Miyazaki's life and work.
I wish there was more time to explore everything earlier since the tour stars in the afternoon. Otherwise it was a fun and great experience. It is a bit pricey but worth it if you don't know much japanese. Our tour guide was really nice and informative.
Shame could not take photos inside the museum but very good otherwise.
The guide was really informative, which was really good as there were no English display boards in the museum. I would have loved having more time to explore the museum on my own, as there was just so many things to see!
Everything is in Japanese, so if you cannot read it, you won't get much out of Studio Ghibli! The tour guide walked us through the main exhibits for half an hour, explaining the main ideas, and then gave us more than an hour of free time. It helps if you've watched and enjoyed Miyazaki's films :)
though tour guide was good. hated how tour guide waited for one of the families in the tour with a very rude child who took up all our time by running away and whining and complaining. Because of them we were late coming back .
It was great to have inside knowledge of everything in the museum which baffled other visitors.
Good tour of Studio Ghibli, place was packed out when we went but still an interesting experience.
We had the loveliest tour guide, Michiko, the name of the current empress! She was very helpful and very informative! The Studio itself is spectacular, even though it was ridiculously busy and tight in certain places, it didn't diminish the experience. You feel as though you are in an animation when you are there and seeing how it all works is quite spectacular! Even though we were under the impression that we would be getting a bus straight there, public transporting it was super easy with our guide leading the way and even allowed us to see a side of Tokyo we wouldn't have! Overall a must do for any animation enthusiast (or not!)!
This tour was very good. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable on Studio Ghibli. Transport from Shinjuku involved catching a train and then a bus so we were glad we got to Studio Ghibli with the tour (as buses only have Japanese writing). The tour started with our guide explaining some of the history of animation and of Studio Ghibli which lasted about 10-20mins. We were then allowed about 1.5-2hrs of free time to roam the 3 floors of the museum. I recommend this tour for first timers in Japan who want to visit Studio Ghibli.
Zenia P
Very good tour. The guide was wonderful and the museum was very nice. The only inconvenience was the changes of bus 1 to bus 2, to subway, and then to another bus. I think one of the reasons people take a bus tour is not having to go through all that. Overall it was a good experience.
Good experience, only gripe was having to run twice to catch a bus.
The tour is worth it for any Studio Ghibli fans! Firstly, I have to thank our tour guide Michiko for being the awesome person she is! You could tell she loved the films and all things Ghibli as much as we did. This place is magical and the trip on the local train was an experience in itself. Don't be upset by the fact that you're taken there by local transport, it all adds to the experience! The place is crowded but orderly (we are talking about Japan) but that didn't deter Michiko from taking us to every room to explain all the different displays. Really cool that you get to keep the ticket stub which has an original film strip incorporated into it. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to go tithe gift shop and cafe as well! I would go back there in a heart beat!
We had an excellent time at the Studio Ghibli Museum, if you are a fan the tour will not disappoint you, my only concern was the time in getting started, we had to wait for people to arrive as the pick up location was unclear for some, and then catch public transport closer to the location, I would have been happier getting my own way there, meeting the tour guide and thus having more time to spare to look around at my leisure.
Excellente Place, Wonderfull Guide. I enjoyed very much. If you´re fan of Ghibli this is a must in tokyo.
Sokha Y
Great museum if you are a fan of his work. Amazing exhibits there, does get very crowded in there so it's good that they limit the amount of tickets for the place.
Our tour guide was great! Loved the animation area of the museum. They should make a whole amusement park for Studio Ghibli.
Davin C
Great little museum. If you are a fan of Ghibli or have kids would thoroughly recommend that you add this to your itinerary. Our guide was fantastic and her English was excellent.
Our tour started from the bus station where we then caught a train to Mitaka and on to the Museum by bus from there.
The museum was busy but not as busy as some places in Japan as the number of tickets issued each day are limited.
It was nice seeing how the animation process is undertaken at Studio Ghibli.
We were given a tour around the museum and then had about 90 minutes free time to explore ourselves. Eveything is in Japanese so staying with the guide for the first part is recommended.
After the tour wee were taken by bus to another station where we could catch trains back to our hotels - the first train (to Mitaka) is included in the tour, the return train was at our own expense.
Thanks for saving the dream of my kids. Having the tickets thru you was a golden chance.
The guide was lovely and polite and was very well versed in the history of the Ghibli museum. She got to know everyone and talked to us on our way over on the train. The only complaint is that there wasn't enough time in the museum. Besides that, however, great tour and a must see.
I'm going to start by saying that if you can get here without going on a tour, then do it. This is a really great museum that deserves a heap of time to get through, especially if you're a fan of Studio Ghibli.
If you go here and a tour is the only way, then this is also a good tour to take. The guide I had was really knowledgeable about the museum and helpful. And the amount of stuff to see is amazing.
Because of this , like I said above, my only real criticism is that there isn't enough time to really explore everything fully. The next time I go to Tokyo I will be going here again.
Enjoyable and fantastic experienced, the guide did a good job, she made it interesting for me and she was funny. I really enjoyed this tour.
The Studio Ghibli Museum itself is fabulous, and I booked a tour in order to guarantee admission. I'm not sure what the cost for ticket only would be, but I did feel that although the lady guide was lovely and helpful, the guided element of the trip was unnecessary. The pickup from my hotel took an hour, whereas I could have walked it in less time, and taken local transport in even less. Then we didn't get as much time at the Museum as we would have liked. Anyone used to traveling independently, who is confident with public transport, doesn't need to book this tour - unless it's the only way of getting into the Museum!

JDK is bundled with all the product installers and it's recommended that you will use the provided JDK version unless there are any specific issues.
32-bit JDK is located in IDE_HOME\jre directory and is used by the 32-bit product executable.
To run the IDE in 64-bit mode you will need to download and install 64-bit JDK (not JRE) distribution and install it yourself. IDE will find and use it from the registry when you run the 64-bit .exe file (available only for IntelliJ IDEA right now, other products can use the .bat file to run in 64-bit mode).
<product>.exe uses this JDK search sequence:
IDEA_JDK / WEBIDE_JDK / PYCHARM_JDK / RUBYMINE_JDK environment variable (depends on the product, WEBIDE_JDK applies to both WebStorm and PhpStorm)
- ..\jre directory
- system Registry
- JDK_HOME environment variable
- JAVA_HOME environment variable
idea64.exe uses this JDK search sequence:
- IDEA_JDK_64 environment variable
- ..\jre64 directory
- system Registry
- JDK_HOME environment variable
- JAVA_HOME environment variable
It's also possible to start the IDE with <product>.bat file located in the bin directory, it uses the following JDK search sequence:
- IDEA_JDK / WEBIDE_JDK / PYCHARM_JDK / RUBYMINE_JDK environment variable (depends on the product)
- ..\jre directory
- JDK_HOME environment variable
- JAVA_HOME environment variable
c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_17
- /create-i4j-log command line switch can be used with the .exe to trace the JDK search sequence and find out why the specific JDK was chosen.
- The actual JDK version used by the IDE can be verified in Help | About dialog (open any project to access the menu).
- Define IDEA_JDK / WEBIDE_JDK / PYCHARM_JDK / RUBYMINE_JDK variable depending on the product to override the default version from IDE_HOME\jre.
- Use Rapid Environment Editor to add/edit the variables, it will detect incorrect paths.
- Refer to the distribution specific instructions for changing the default JDK version (Ubuntu Java documentation).
- It's recommended that you will use the latest version of Oracle JDK or OpenJDK available for your system (OpenJDK 1.6 is not supported, please use 1.7 or later versions).
- Check bin/<product>.sh file for the JDK search order, it's similar to Windows in terms of the environment variable names.
- You can define JDK home environment variable directly in the .sh file to override system defaults.
- Check this answer if you need to install the JDK manually on Linux.
- Using OpenJDK is not recommended, it has known visual and performance problems that affect some users. Use on your own risk if Oracle JDK has more severe issues on your system.
- If you have problems with ugly fonts, check this thread comments for the tips.
- Help | About will show the actual JDK version.
Mac OS X
At the moment all our products require Apple JDK 1.6 to be installed in order to run on Mac. JDK 1.7 from Oracle is not officially supported yet and has known problems that stop us from using it by default. Oracle JDK 1.7.0_40 has added support for Retina and works much better than previous versions on Mac. You are welcome to give it a try in case you have any problems with Apple JDK.
To force running under JDK 1.7 edit /Applications/<Product>.app/Contents/Info.plist file, change JVMVersion from 1.6* to 1.7* :
- See this answer for the known problems with JDK 1.7.
- IDEA_JDK environment variable can be used to override the selected JDK, you may need to run the product from the Terminal so that it sees your environment variables (Mac OS limitation): open -a /Applications/<Product>.app/ .
- Application About dialog will show the actual JDK version.

RIR's NAS-CARing efforts
There's a new charitable foundation in town, and it has hit the gas hard in only its fourth year of existence.
But the recurring theme at the inaugural Richmond International Raceway Cares Holiday Community Reception was that RIR has been fueling local community efforts for years; the foundation and reception have only made the help official.
Held at RIR's Torque Club, the Dec. 6 celebration highlighted just five of the recipients of more than $300,000 that RIR Cares donated to local non-profits this year through The NASCAR Foundation.
Kathryn Erhardt of Feedmore, Inc. said that RIR's $1,000 check would aid in its mission of feeding the needy by benefiting such services as the Central Virginia Food Bank (CVFB), Meals on Wheels for the elderly and disabled, and the Kids Cafe and weekend BackPack Program for schoolchildren.
"We couldn't do it without RIR," Erhardt told the crowd of vendors, community partners, and representatives of charities that included Big Brother Big Sister, Henrico Police Athletic League, Virginia State University, the Red Cross, and Victory Junction.
Chris Hardin, the 2006 Henrico Christmas Mother (pictured), was on hand to accept a similar check for the program, which benefits nearly 6,000 Henrico County residents with donations of food, gifts and clothing. Another check recipient, Bruce LaLonde of the USO of Hampton Roads and Central Virginia, told the crowd that in addition to maintaining centers at sites such as the Richmond airport, the USO supports military families by taking handicapped children to Kings Dominion and families to Disney World.
Marilyn Milio, executive director of the North Richmond YMCA, noted that the nearby Y is located in an area of concentrated poverty, and virtually all of the families served by the preschool, child care and sports programs require financial assistance.
"It's only through organizations such as RIR," said Milio, "that we're able to help our families.
"Even though RIR Cares is new, we've been receiving support for 10 years."
'They are right there'
Track President Dennis Bickmeier is also new, as Roy Zeidman of Special Olympics Virginia (SOVA) pointed out.
"So we sort of ambushed him," said Zeidman, describing the tactics used to persuade the newly-installed president to participate in Over the Edge, a fundraising event that enlisted nearly 100 participants to rappel down Richmond's Suntrust Building in October.
"The fire chief had my back," said Bickmeier with a grin and a nod toward officials from Henrico Fire.
"He sent me a note that said, 'If you get stuck, give us a call."
Bickmeier's rappeling feat was just one example of the ways that RIR has contributed not only funds, but also physical support to charitable causes.
A raceway staff of 34 members, said Bickmeier, invested nearly 500 hours of volunteer labor in such causes as Junior Achievement of Central Virginia, Meals on Wheels, CVFB, the North Richmond Y and Henrico County Operation Paintbrush.
"That's a lot of hours for only 34 [volunteers]," said Bickmeier.
In addition, said Bickmeier, RIR's NASCAR race weekends serve as fundraisers for local organizations, whose members raise money for their charities by selling programs and working in the concession stands.
Beth Rutherford of Rutherford Supply, which lists RIR among its clients, noted at the reception that the track staff doesn't help out only with regular charity events; they also have been known to respond to emergencies.
Whenever the staff at the janitor supply company learns of families in crisis, said Rutherford, employees make an effort to collect gift cards, donations and cleaning supplies to help out. In recent years, recipients of donations have included a couple of families with children who have lost their homes and virtually all the contents to fire.
"Whoever we find, we try to take them in," said Rutherford, whose business is located just across Laburnum Ave. from the racetrack.
"And any time we ask for help [from RIR officials], they are right there."
Toy for Toy
The Torque Club event was followed by the track's annual Christmas Tree Lighting, attended by residents of RIR's neighboring communities and students from Laburnum Elementary School and L. Douglas Wilder Middle School, who provided decorations for the tree. The Laburnum Elementary School choir and the Henrico High School Mighty Marching Warriors Band provided musical entertainment, and the Henrico High School Football Boosters shared hot chocolate and cookies.
Donations of toys and food were also collected at the tree lighting on behalf of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation and the Central Virginia Foodbank.
And judging from announcements made at the reception, RIR Cares will be topping its 2011 contributions of more than a quarter million dollars with yet another sum before the year is out.
"Bring your donations to the tree lighting, or to the office by next Friday," Bickmeier told the crowd.
"The raceway will match everything brought – toy for toy, and food item for food item."
