Nintendo Explains Why Nintendo Land Doesn't Include Online Multiplayer
Posted by Orla Madden
It's all about encouraging gamers to play together in real life
We're massive fans of Nintendo Land here at Nintendo Life Towers - multiplayer action is rife in Animal Crossing Sweet Day and Luigi's Ghost Mansion, but there are many out there who haven't sampled the wonders of the Wii U's star attraction due to a lack of potential co-players, and these same people probably wish the game featured some kind of online mode.
However, the lack of online is intentional. Speaking with Famitsu, Nintendo Land producer Katsuya Eguchi explained how the developers wanted gamers to interact with each each other in the real world, designing attractions aimed at people who are playing in the same room as one another:
Nintendo Land's multiplayer attractions work because of the communication shared between the people playing them, They were set up from the start to be something people in the same room could enjoy.
It hasn't stopped Miis appearing in your plaza however - it's a charming online addition coming across your friend's Mii where you can check their status in the game.
Is online multiplayer a feature you would have liked to see included in Nintendo Land, or do you prefer the more intimate nature of the current setup? Let us know in the comments section.

Grade: B
Much in the way that the scariest scene in The Hurt Locker was Jeremy Renner at a Costco trying to pick a breakfast cereal, Danfung Dennis' unsettling documentary Hell And Back Again makes it plain that for a certain breed of soldier, the horrors of war are nothing compared with the agonizing readjustment to civilian life.
In the fall of 2009, 25-year-old Sargent Nathan Harris was shot in the hip, shattering it and requiring a titanium rod in his leg. Dennis' astonishingly photographed picture (shot by the director himself on a Canon 5D Mark II) follows the young soldier through a maddeningly long stretch of rehabilitation back home in North Carolina.
Elliptically cross-cutting between harrowing in country firefights and mundane day-to-day tasks, Hell And Back Again conjures (perhaps too many times) the sense of psychological whiplash endured by young men like Harris every day. He's a career soldier, and that's all he ever wanted to be. As the film wears on, we can only watch in sadness as Harris slowly realizes he's never going back to the front lines.
The combat sequences are almost distractingly beautiful. Dennis eschews the standard shaky-cam war photography cliche in favor of still, thoughtfully composed frames. You've never seen Afghanistan like this before, its barren ugly spaces punctuated by the occasional jarringly verdant tree. Indeed, the camerawork during battle is almost too unruffled. (If I didn't know better, I'd think it was staged.)
Presumably by design, sequences on the home front are far less settled. Harris grows increasingly despondent, showing hints of a dependency on pain pills and an unnerving attachment to his guns. (A chilling moment finds him loopy, posing for a MySpace profile picture with a pistol in each hand.) Harris shoots the unnervingly dead landscape of Wal-Mart the same way Bigelow did in The Hurt Locker.
Hell And Back Again's most frightening moment arrives not far into the film, as the newly returned soldier sits idly in a fast food drive-through line, the banality of his friends' laboriously long order triggering quicksilver flashbacks to the front. The point is made early, and often.

|Risk assessment of excess drug and sunscreen absorption via skin with ablative fractional laser resurfacing : Optimization of the applied dose for postoperative care.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23291917 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The ablative fractional laser is a new modality used for surgical resurfacing. It is expected that laser treatment can generally deliver drugs into and across the skin, which is toxicologically relevant. The aim of this study was to establish skin absorption characteristics of antibiotics, sunscreens, and macromolecules via laser-treated skin and during postoperative periods. Nude mice were employed as the animal model. The skin received a single irradiation of a fractional CO(2) laser, using fluences of 4-10 mJ with spot densities of 100-400 spots/cm(2). In vitro skin permeation using Franz cells was performed. Levels of skin water loss and erythema were evaluated, and histological examinations with staining by hematoxylin and eosin, cyclooxygenase-2, and claudin-1 were carried out. Significant signs of erythema, edema, and scaling of the skin treated with the fractional laser were evident. Inflammatory infiltration and a reduction in tight junctions were also observed. Laser treatment at 6 mJ increased tetracycline and tretinoin fluxes by 70- and 9-fold, respectively. A higher fluence resulted in a greater tetracycline flux, but lower skin deposition. On the other hand, tretinoin skin deposition increased following an increase in the laser fluence. The fractional laser exhibited a negligible effect on modulating oxybenzone absorption. Dextrans with molecular weights of 4 and 10 kDa showed increased fluxes from 0.05 to 11.05 and 38.54 μg/cm(2)/h, respectively. The optimized drug dose for skin treated with the fractional laser was 1/70-1/60 of the regular dose. The skin histology and drug absorption had recovered to a normal status within 2-3 days. Our findings provide the first report on risk assessment of excessive skin absorption after fractional laser resurfacing.

Are You Dating An Emotionally Unavailable Man?
Are You Dating An Emotionally Unavailable Man?
Are You Dating An Emotionally Unavailable Man?
Ever since I read John Gray's Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, I've been insecure about the fact that men need space in relationships. It doesn't help that most men I've dated have either asked for space, took space without warning or turned space into "Goodbye."
Because I thought men did that rubber band thingy where they pulled back a lot, I would often tiptoe around a man who seemed like he was "on break," afraid to express my need for connection and emotional security while stifling my anger about what seemed like selfish behavior on his part. After all, "man space" can be frightening and lonely.
Do find yourself up against the magnetic pull of man space? Does the man you love need a lot of alone time? Or, if you're single, do you find that most of the men you date take more personal space than you'd like? If you feel like a man's need for space is making you needy and insecure, it could be that you're just dating the wrong men. That was my problem all along. I loved emotionally unavailable men.
A recent marriage survey turned man space on its head. When 1,040 married couples were surveyed in 2012, results revealed that husbands are keener on spending time with their spouses than are wives. And, husbands miss their spouses more when separated than do wives.
This is very interesting information because it puts a proverbial dagger in the idea of man space. The survey's results beg the question: If single/dating men and women were polled on their need for space in newer relationships, would men still desire more together time than women?
I would guess that single/dating men would not desire as much together-time in their dating relationships as their female counterparts. However, I think these results would be less correlated to the stage of their relationships than with the type of men who get married.
According to Jenni Trent Hughes of eHarmony, men are more likely to marry for companionship and women for a stronger sense of self, offered through a partner's love and support. If we go on this theory, then it would make sense that the majority of men who marry are emotionally available for connection and deeply desire it. Keep reading ...

It's already a worn cliché that the horrific events of September 11th "changed everything," but on the web it's true: scores of web sites have shut down or have removed content in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks.
What exactly is missing? While it's impossible to know the full scope, a number of watchdog sites are documenting the changes made on the web. Two of the most comprehensive are maintained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and OMB Watch.
U.S. government agencies that once offered open access to "public" information are among the most prominent sites now restricting access to information, according to the two watchdog sites. Agencies removing content range from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry to the U.S. Geological Survey. Most government sites that have pulled information have displayed bland notices noting the removal of content, along with "apologies for any inconvenience" messages.
Despite censoring its own sites, the U.S. government has apparently not forced any non-governmental sites to shut down. However, the British government has forced the closure of at least two web sites, and a number of Internet Service Providers have also pulled the plug on "inappropriate" sites.
Some sites have engaged in self-censorship, euphemistically claiming that they are "evaluating" whether content once freely available on the web should now be accessible online.
This "9/11 404 effect" creates a significant challenge for searchers. It hits professional researchers and journalists particularly hard. As online journalism commentator Steve Outing notes in the eMedia Tidbits weblog, "Where journalists (and the public) will likely suffer is with information that's created from now forward. Agencies aren't publishing as much information on the Web due to security concerns, so reporters will have to work much harder to gain access (or even learn about it)."
To keep up with content that's gone missing from the web, check out the EFF and OMBWatch pages listed below.

Deleted "Sensitive" Web Sites Still Available via Google
Heightened security concerns have led a number of organizations to remove "sensitive" information from their web sites, yet much of this information is still available, even to people with relatively modest searching skills. Since this story ran in SearchDay, Google has apparently changed its policy and has proactively worked with some organizations to remove content, according to ABC News.

The Web's Unelected Government
Page 3 of 6
Workgroups for Windows
The World Wide Web Consortium that grew out of these discussions is not a standards organization in the mold of such traditional outfits as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or the International Standards Organization (ISO). Think, instead, of W3C as a group of technologists who give advice to director Berners-Lee, who consults with the consortium's members and then issues his recommendations. Legally speaking, Berners-Lee's recommendations have no teeth; even consortium members are under no obligation to implement them. In practice, however, W3C's recommendations carry a moral authority that is the closest thing the Internet has to law. Microsoft, Netscape and a host of other companies have pledged to implement the standards in their products. And this moral authority has given rise to the W3C's technical work-which is almost universally praised-as well as its policy-making activities, which have generated considerable controversy.
Both the technical and policy activities take place within the same structure: a set of working groups, each set up to address a specific issue. The need for a working group is identified by either Berners-Lee, a staff member or an outside company. Berners-Lee approves the creation of the group and appoints a chair, who invites other members. The working group's discussion takes place via electronic mail, weekly teleconferences and occasional face-to-face meetings. At some point, a person from the group volunteers to edit the final written specification. The document is distributed to the W3C membership, which votes on the recommendation. Following this final vote, the W3C's director can accept the measure, and make it an official W3C technical recommendation, or pass.
To get a sense of the technical aspect of what these groups grapple with, consider the disarray over HyperText Markup Language (HTML), the set of codes that determine how Web pages look and behave. If you look at the raw text of a Web page, you'll see plain text and many words in angle brackets, like <i>. These words in angle brackets are called "tags." They tell a Web browser how to typeset and display information that it finds. (The <i> tag, for example, tells the browser to display text in italics.) For the Web to work properly, all Web browsers need to implement more or less the same set of tags. Unfortunately, the original Web browsers out of CERN and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in Illinois omitted many useful features, such as the ability to display information in tables.
When Netscape released its first Web browser, the company added a few new HTML tags. When Microsoft followed, introducing its Internet Explorer browser with Windows 95, it adopted some of Netscape's tags, rejected others, and introduced some new ones of its own. Both organizations said that they would work with the consortium to have their proprietary tags accepted into the HTML standard. But until such a standard was adopted, companies trying to publish information on the Web were in a quagmire. If they took advantage of the new advanced features in Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, their Web pages wouldn't look right to somebody using the other browser.
To make matters worse, Netscape and Microsoft promoted themselves by celebrating their incompatibilities. Netscape peppered the Web with logos saying "Best Viewed with Netscape Navigator," which meant the Web site used some feature that Microsoft didn't support. Microsoft, meanwhile, allowed Web sites to display a "Best Viewed with Internet Explorer" logo if the Web site used a feature that Netscape's browser lacked.
Into this mess stepped the W3C's HTML working group. The group-with representatives from Netscape and Microsoft, among other companies-quickly agreed on a modest goal: codify into a single standard the HTML tags that were in use on the Internet at the time (May 1995). "We didn't do a lot of design work," recalls Dan Connolly, the W3C staff member who chaired the committee. "We just said what's in, what's out, let's write it up." The specification was written not so much for the people creating Web browsers as for companies authoring Web pages, so they could know what HTML tags they should use and which they should avoid.
The HTML working group moved fast; its final specification was adopted by the W3C in May 1997. And it did "enduring" work, at least by the standards of the Web: What the group settled on is pretty much what is used on the Web today. Meanwhile, the W3C recently finished the standardization of HTML 4.0-an excellent standard that will gain in use as more and more Web users upgrade to Netscape Navigator 4.0 and Internet Explorer 4.0.
On the whole, W3C's members are pleased with the technical work the consortium has undertaken. They are particularly encouraged that W3C has managed to avoid some of the pitfalls that beset other standards organizations-projects that drag on because of infighting or because they are overly ambitious. "The W3C defines projects and sets goals that are relatively short-term," says Don Wright, who sits on the W3C's Advisory Council Committee on behalf of Lexmark, the printer manufacturer. "Something gets delivered."

HOUSTON (AP) - Two Harris County jail employees have been fired
for lying about the January death of an inmate at the facility.
Officials said Friday that jailer Nathan Hartfield and
supervisor Joyce Harris were terminated for giving conflicting
reports about a disruption involving inmate Clarence Freeman.
An autopsy revealed Freeman died from respiratory failure
related to neck compression after a struggle with Hartfield.
Don McWilliams, inspector general for the sheriff's office,
called their misconduct a "very serious violation."
The sheriff's department investigation into Freeman's death is
ongoing. No charges have been filed against Hartfield or Harris.

Yeah, we know no product launch—especially an initial product launch—is without its fair share of problems, but if
these reports of major PSP defects coming in over the wires have any truth to them (no comment) there are going to be
some eager Japanese gamers out there in for a surprise or two. Like, say, numerous dead pixels, dead drives, analog
sticks not working and even falling off, and even screens with dust and "air bubbles" (whatever that means). Apparently
some people can even make the UMD drive eject by twisting the unit in a particular way (again, no comment). No word yet
what the exact defect rate is right now, but we're going to take a wild guess that it's probably very low.

Authorities from multiple agencies converged Friday afternoon to arrest an armed robbery suspect who held up the Sudden Service Shell Station in Lebanon.
According to Lebanon police Chief Scott Bowen, the suspect, later identified as Shaun Antwain Sullivan, 21, of Jackson, entered the convenience store on S. Cumberland Street in front of Walmart, pointed a chrome handgun at workers and demanded money.
Bowen said Sullivan took an undisclosed amount of money and fled in a black 2003 Nissan Altima, which was previously reported stolen. He said the vehicle's tag was also reported stolen.
Bowen said witnesses told police Sullivan headed south on Cumberland Street toward Interstate 40, and a call went out with the suspect and vehicle's description, along with a partial tag number. Wilson County Sheriff's deputies and Mt. Juliet police were also alerted to be on the lookout for Sullivan.
Sheriff Robert Bryan said Deputy Justin Smith spotted Sullivan's vehicle on I-40 west of Mt. Juliet and followed him into Davidson County until backup could arrive.
Bryan said just as Smith was about to pull the vehicle over, Sullivan accelerated and exited the interstate at Donelson Pike.
Bowen said Sullivan then headed northbound on Donelson Pike when he hit another vehicle. Sullivan continued in the vehicle about a quarter mile and then got out at a Taco Bell restaurant.
According to Bowen, Sullivan attempted to carjack a vehicle, but was unsuccessful and fled on foot. A Nashville Metro police officer found Sullivan underneath a vehicle, and the weapon used in the robbery was found on him, Bowen said.
Bowen said someone was injured in the crash on Donelson Pike and taken to a nearby hospital, but he believed the injuries to not be serious.
Sullivan was arrested and taken to Wilson County Jail to be formally charged and booked.
Bowen said Sullivan had warrants from Henderson County for the theft of the Nissan Altima and Gibson County for aggravated robbery, aggravated assault and theft under $500. He said the license plate was stolen in Paris on Dec. 19.
"We were just lucky there weren't any major injuries or no one else was hurt," Bryan said. "Lebanon police did a good job getting the information out to us. We all work well together."

The bristles are dense and I find that useful for applying mascara on the tiny lashes.I have some scarring on my eyelids which sort of divides my lashes into two layers, if that makes any sense to you. Usually I don't get good results when using a brush applicator. But this one works nicely.
The formula is very dry, I have to make sure that I curl my lashes well beforehand. I think two layers are enough most of the time. Also I have to be real quick, like check for any clumps and comb through them before the mascara dries.Once the mascara is dry, it's quite impossible to do that.
It's budge proof- waterproof, smudge proof, standard -grade -makeup- removers -proof too. Best to use a makeup remover oil to get it off.

After reading amazing reviews on MUA, I have decided to give it a try. I have long full lashes naturally, and this mascara made them look worse! It hardens on lashes and is extremely hard to take off even with waterproof remover. Did not give me any extra fulness or length. Not going to buy again.

I bought this online as it seems to be touted as amazing for holding a curl.
This may be true, but I found this mascara to make my lashes look clumpy and SHORTER than without mascara. YES, it holds a curl, but it's like finding a hair spray that holds but turns white and stiff. Not worth it, not HG.
I'll keep using it to see if maybe I change my mind as the tube gets older (which does happen, so, who knows).
EDIT: the older the tube gets, the less "stiff" my lashes are. Considering the price and that it does hold my curl, it's not a bad mascara.

Really disappointed with this mascara. Bought it off amazon (paid extortionate postage charge tot he UK) after the reviews on MUA. It was pretty expensive altogether for such a small mascara so I was expecting amazing results.
It gave me very average lashes, didn't lengthen at all. Maybe there's some special method to using this mascara? If there is, PLEASE let me know someone.
I'm not a fan of water-proof mascaras anyway, they're hard to take off and rip out my lashes. I'll probably keep this for next summer when I go to the beach.

I have short, straight asian lashes that doesn't hold a curl but this mascara just makes my eyes look bigger and makes my lashes actually visible. It does dry pretty quickly, so you have to brush through it quickly if you want to build intensity, but its good because it doesn't transfer onto your lids. It does make my short lashes much longer as well (long enough to be visible) and it holds curls sooooo well! No other mascara I've ever used (and its quite many) held a curl like this did. I curl my lashes with shu uemura's lash curler which is heated by a hair dryer; this step is also a contributing factor to extra curly lashes and then I apply generous coats, combing through it quickly to have nice feathery lashes. My lashes stay curled for 14 hours without any signs of drooping! (I'm not sure if it lasts more than that because I don't wear my make up for more than 14hours max). It is also VERY waterproof and does not flake or smear or give me panda eyes like many mascaras do. My HG mascara definitely! Many complain about it being tough to remove, which I agree partially, because all waterproof mascaras I've used are difficult to remove and this is indifferent. That also means that it won't come off your eyes during the day easily, right? I love love love this and will definitely repurchase when I'm done with it!

This was my HG mascara for over 2 years but the new formula and packaging that they have recently released has been a huge disappointment!
The new formula just doesn't give the same dramatically thicker and longer effect as the old and it is also no where near as waterproof. It takes a LOT of fiddling around to get even half the effect of the old formula and doesn't hold curl as much either. It also has a sort of sour, chemical smell to it which wasn't previously there.
I'm seriously hoping the bring back the old formula asap, I don't know what im going to do once old stock runs out :(

I read all the reviews on how this is one of the best mascaras on the market and in my search for the HG mascara, I just HAD TO buy it. Unfortunately, I found it to be a big disappointment! Yes, it lengthens lashes a bit but for me I saw no curl whatsoever. You can't get volume from this mascara because it's not a buildable formula, and when I used my lash curler all it did was stick to it and practically rip out my lashes. Definitely not worth the wait or the $16 I paid for it! - Fortunately, I did finally found my HG mascara (for only $2.99 at Walgreens) 'Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara' by Jordana - Trust me, save yourself time, money and the loss of lashes and go with Jordana! P.S. Neutrogena Oil Free Makeup Remover takes ANY mascara off with ease!

This is my HG Mascara. I'm Asian. I have very short, straight, and few lashes. Most of the time I would get Lash Extensions but after some time it became too costly for me and when I moved I could not find anyone who could do the extensions the way I needed them to. So looking for a really good lengthening mascara was something I had been doing for a long time. I tried every kind I had heard good reviews about, while they would lengthen, there were more cons than pros. Some were too drying, clumpy or could not hold a curl and would flake. �I had heard about this mascara for the longest time, but was always hesitant because some claim that there are fakes from sellers over the net (which is where most people buy it from), and it would take a good two weeks before I actually would get the item. So right from the start it was discouraging. But one day, I actually found a store that was selling it. It's a tad bit more pricey than what you would pay on Ebay or Sasa, but to get it on the spot was great so I could try it immediately. I was so glad I did! This mascara...
- Lengthens lashes
- Lasts all day long
- Is waterproof, doesn't smudge, doesn't flake
- Curls lashes
- Is easy to apply
Now the packaging isn't the best to some people, but I happen to like the new packaging. Its not in the maroon tube anymore, its actually pink and black now and looks way cuter. And like I said I payed a higher price but it was worth it to get my HG Mascara in the spot. The only bump I encountered with this mascara was removing it, it seemed difficult at first, but all I did was purchase eye make up remover and used a lash comb and that did the trick. I might purchase their make up remover in the future and even try the volumizing mascara along with mine. Overall, I am happy with this, and will definitely repurchase. I can't believe I can finally say I found my HG Mascara. Woot!

South Fork (9-1) at Palm Bay (6-4)

Any reason to shoe?
Our horse is barefoot and showing training level (schooling first). Her feet are healthy with no problems (she has some high/low issues on the front but not bad). I've had a couple of people say that I should think about shoeing in the future - the horse will need it "for extra support" as she advances in her training. I am just not clear what that means. My motto is "don't fix it if it isn't broken" and so far I don't see any reason to start shoeing a healthy barefoot hoof. Any ideas?
Posted via Mobile Device
I see no sense at all in the idea that you may have to shoe for support. If his feet are healthy and doing the job at hand, leave them alone. Especially in dressage where you are mostly working on very good footing, barefoot is a no brainer.
When the horse is moving up and doing more and more training, yes she will need shoes to support the hooves. Especially with hi-lo you need to begin very carefully managing the feet at about third level. At the point where the horse is schooling hard in collection 5/6 days a week I think you will find some excess hoof wear and stress. Shoes, when applied correctly, also give support to the limbs and allow the horse to stay above the footing as well as supporting the hooves.
I ride, train and manage a high level Dressage horse with hi-lo and an integral part of my training is the shoeing. You can see my thread "Critique my farrier" to see what my horses shoe job is like.
While she might not need shoes now, long term in the medium and high levels she will need the support from shoes in order to train as consistently as is needed at these levels to do well, and do them correctly. A good farrier is your best resource.
Good luck!

What do you mean by hi-lo?
Posted via Mobile Device
Flat foot/club foot. Very common and it is easier to keep under control with shoes.

This is a high/low. That's two front feet. See how the heel on the left is lower and the whole foot is more forward? The heel on the right and the foot is more upright. Low one always wants to grow forward and high one always wants to grow heel.
My horse was barefoot when I got her, but on the advice of my Farrier, a very talented one at that, and my intended job for her, she got her horsey nikes.
We keep every shoe from each shoeing, labeled and dated, to track her wear pasterns on each foot.
Right now, her right feet show a slightly toe out wear pattern, but w suspect that's me leaning to that side.
Turns out a quick trip to the chiropractor to tune me up, and straighten me back out, should do the trick.
Its rained all weekend, so no rides for us to test the theory yet.
I do recommend that you consult a Farrier as to thebenefits and drawbacks of shoeing, and make the decision that is nest for your horse.

Video: Macon Thriller Dance Rehearsal Video
Every year at this time, Michael Jackson's classic hit song, 'Thriller,' echoes off the historic buildings in downtown Macon, drawing the dancing dead from their graves for a choreographed good time.
Thousands gathered Friday night to see zombies re-enacting the King of Pop's hit. Hundreds of zombies practiced for the event, both at dance studios and at Tattnall Square Park in Macon.
The event was started by The 11th Hour, an independent community paper based in Macon. Over the years, they've had a couple of different dance instructors teach the willing undead masses their moves. But for the last few, it's been up to Pilar Wilder, owner of Hayiya Dance Theatre, to whip the volunteers into shape.
In a short time, the Thriller Zombie Parade has become an annual Halloween highlight for the community. Both for the dancing zombies and the thousands of folks who show up to watch.

Salt Lake City Formica house part of midcentury home tour
Countertops made with granite, marble and other natural stones may be what everyone wants for today's kitchens and baths, but 50 years ago, Formica was the ultimate symbol of a modern lifestyle.
And during that era, one specific home in the high Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City stood as a national showpiece for this hard, durable plastic laminate in a wide array of colors.
The Formica World's Fair House was designed by the Salt Lake architectural firm of Brixen & Christopher and completed in 1964. It was one of 10 houses built around the country and sponsored by a national company to demonstrate the different types of modern living products that had been exhibited at the World's Fair in New York City.
The Formica house also is one of four midcentury homes that the public can visit as part of the Salt Lake Modern Tour on Saturday, June 14. All the homes are in the Northcrest and North Hills neighborhoods.
Visitors to the 4,000-square-foot Formica house will find classic midcentury elements, including an open floor plan, sleek design, flat roof and walls of windows that bring the outdoors in.
"The house was very contemporary and constructed early in our practice," 84-year-old architect Jim Christopher recalled during a recent visit to the house he designed some five decades ago. Christopher and his partner were hired to build the house by the contractor, Williamson & Associates.
"We had done previous work with Williamson and this house was a continuation of that," he said, noting that they designed the house to fit into the Salt Lake City hillside. And for the interior: "We were told to use a lot of Formica."
Brixen and Christopher also designed Williamson's award-winning Better Homes and Gardens Editor's Choice Home for 1965.
Christopher graduated from Rice Institute (now University) in Houston in 1953 and received a master's degree from MIT, where he studied under Pietro Belluschi and Louis Kahn, leaders in the modern movement of architecture. He came to Utah to teach at the University of Utah School of Architecture.
During his career he recently retired Christopher designed well-known places in Salt Lake City, including the earliest buildings at Snowbird Ski Resort, Kol Ami Synagogue and more recently the Rowland Hall-St. Mark's McCarthey Campus. Christopher describes his design philosophy as an emphasis on context and energy efficiency.
"Clean lines, that's what I was taught," he said.
When the Formica World's Fair House was finished in November 1964, it was featured in a special section in The Salt Lake Tribune (see attachment at left).
Martin and Glynis Gregory, the current owners of the home, still have a copy of that newspaper section they like to show visitors. While much of the house, including the kitchen and baths, was updated long ago and no longer contains Formica the Gregorys enjoy showing a visitor the one remaining piece of the iconic laminate, copper in color, in the laundry room.
"It was here when we moved in 12 years ago, and we thought it should stay," said Martin Gregory.
In recent years, midcentury homes have become more popular with younger home-buyers, said Kirk Huffaker, executive director of The Utah Heritage Foundation, whose midcentury committee sponsors this architecture tour. Social media and magazines such as Dwell and Atomic Ranch also have helped to "popularize this way of living."
He said the homes built in this era were significantly different from those built before World War II. "There was more of an emphasis on space and reducing the amount of things," he said.
The trend is cyclical.
Homes built in the late 1990s and early 21st century were large and "had a room for every hobby," Huffaker said. "Today, there is a movement back to reducing. The focus is less on things and more about quality space."
Which is why the homes in the Northcrest and North Hills neighborhoods are especially popular among today's home buyers, he said.
Salt Lake City's Northcrest neighborhood encompasses land from 13th Avenue to the foothills and between I and R streets. Development in the area began about 1949 when the first 25 lots of 300 were offered to the public, according to the Utah Heritage Foundation. By 1950, it was reported that 11 of the lots had been purchased by physicians, with an average home price of $25,000-$30,000.
North Hills, originally known as North Hills Village, includes all lots and structures on North Hills Drive and Northmont Way. Advertisements for available lots began in earnest in fall 1957, touting "best breathtaking view of valley and mountains," "individual original design" and "no carbon copies." The styles of design listed include Split-Level, Two-Level, Early American, Conventional, Tri-Level and Ramblers.
Tour four homes and a neighborhood swim club in Salt Lake City's Northcrest and North Hills neighborhoods.
When • Saturday, June 14, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Where • Tour begins at Northwest Swim Club, 839 N. Hilltop Road, Salt Lake City.
Cost • $20 in advance and for Utah Heritage Foundation members; or $25 on the day.

Big Apple Paradise.
So, since the Lockout, the New York Rangers have built themselves into a playoff team. They've also been ousted in the first and second round since the lock out. They made it to the Eastern Conference semi-finals twice since their recent loss to the Capitals in this years playoffs. Why? Lack of veteran presence? Team chemistry? How about both. The reason that the Rangers made it as far into the playoffs as they did in 2006-2007, and 2007-2008 is because they had a stud center (Jagr), a veteran wing (Shannahan), a solid core of defenseman, and a strong young goalie. The Rangers didn't have the best players, but the right players. When the Rangers signed Gomez and Drury, they're downfall began. After the 2008 season, the Rangers than added sketchy forward Nikolai Zherdev, and Makus naslund, as well as Wade Redden. Sather lost sight of building a team around a core of players that have chemistry, and started looking forward towards signing a team that when plays it's best, could be an all-star team. As soon as the 2009 began, the Rangers started off hot, and got into a slum. Because of their recent loss of Shannahan, and Jagr's veteran presence, the Rangers young leaderless team just couldn't click. The Rangers didn't have the right players, they had the best players. Captain Chris Drury, and Assistant Captain Scott Gomez couldn't hold the weight of the team on their shoulders. With the Rangers lack of presence, and Gomez and Drury's lack of input, they only contributed to the Rangers woes. After they're ejection from the 2009 playoffs, the Rangers made some smart moves and traded the fading Gomez to Montreal, and the Veteran Markus Naslund retired, clearing a plethora of cap space. In doing so they signed forwards Ales Kotalik, Marian Gaborik, Chris Higgins, and traded for Envir Lisin. The trade for Envir Lisin could play out to be a smart trade, but Lauri Korpikoski had great potential. He was treated the same way Petr Prucha was. He had a lot of talent, but didn't see the ice as much as he should have, same with Prucha. Chris Higgins, a New York native, averaged 38 points a season since the lockout, but didn't have a great season last year. We'll see what the change of scenery does for him. Ales Kotalik has been a consistant player since the lockout, but has recently been slumping. Now, Marian Gaborik is probably one of my favorite players to watch. He has great hands, looks like he has rockets in his skates, and has great hockey sense. Thing is, he wasn't happy in Minnesota, and was constantly injured. Lets face it though, he's a great player. Even when he was unhappy in Minnesota, and coming off an injury, he only played 17 games and still racked up 23 points. Although Sather made some very good moves, and some smart ones at that, I don't know if I like some of them just yet. This will have to wait for the season to come. Higgins, and Kotalik have been dwindling and we signed them to multi-million dollar deals, as well as Gaborik to 7.5 million a year over the next 5 years. Since the removal of Jagr and Shannahan the Rangers realized that they need a goal scorer, and they want Gaborik to be the next Jagr for the Rangers. He has the potential to be, but he has to stay healthy. There's a lot of weight on Gaborik's shoulders next year, as well as captain Drury. If the Rangers were smart they would bring Shannahan back and pay him league minimum, because if there's anyone that can keep rank up front, he can. The Rangers could be very good next year, or just as bad. The Rangers have been throwing money around to try and make this elite team, let's see if this crazy off season really turns New York into the Big Apple Paradise that Sather is trying to make it.

Kings Potential
The Kings have been pretty quiet for the past couple seasons. Since the lockout the Los Angles Kings have been the Islanders of the west coast. But with years off from their greater seasons, they've had time to develop young talent in their farm system. Now in the pre 2009-2010 season they have added veterans Ryan Smyth, and Rob Scuderi. Smyth, although not always a teams strongest player, is always consistant averaging 46 points a season since the lock out. With Smyths veteran help, the young offensive power house that the Kings have should be clicking on all cylinders. Just maybe with this offensive boost, the hiding playmaker in Justin Williams will come out, but we will see. Rob Scuderi earned his position as an elite defenseman in the Pengiuns recent stanley cup playoffs. Scuderi could be a great mentor to young defenseman like Drew Doughty, and Jack Johnson. Drew Doughty is a Marc Staal caliber defenseman for his age, that can put the puck in the net. Also, Doughty is very capable of quarterbacking the power play from the blue line. With Scuderi and Doughty clicking, Johnson should add some more offensive input as well. Being from Fairfield county in Connecticut, I'm a big fan of Jonathan Quick. He had an average season for the Kings last year, but he's still steadily improving. He's young, but you ahve to start somewhere. He's a very athletic goalie, who knows his angles well and yes, he's quick. Ha. Ha. The Kings should find a very capable goalie in Johnathan quick over the next few years. All of this being said, this team should look a lot like the 2007-2008 Flyers. With Ryan Smyth and it's youth up front, and Scuderi and it's youth in back, these two vets should show this young team how the game of hockey is really played. Look out for this team next year, because they should be blooming into a playoff contending team anytime now.

Beaumont Army Medical Center wants to bring its medical services closer to where military families actually live.
The Army hospital in Central El Paso is planning to open an off-site clinic in early 2013 that will serve military families who live in East El Paso, said a Beaumont official who is in charge of opening and running the new clinic.
The clinic will be called Rio Bravo Medical Home and will be at 10460 Vista Del Sol in part of the Del Sol Medical Center complex.
It will serve retired military and family members of both retired and active-duty service members. All need to have TRICARE Prime coverage and be age 64 or younger.
Active-duty service members will not be served there and will continue to get their care at Beaumont and Fort Bliss. The clinic, which will be run by Beaumont, will not be open to the public.
"We will coordinate all their care," said Angela Anderson, group practice manager for the clinic. "The idea is to bring medical care closer to where Army families live. In addition, it's a different medical model."
Anderson described the clinic as being patient-centered primary care.
"We will take care of all their medical needs," Anderson said. "We'll focus more on prevention and wellness.
"Traditionally, primary care focuses on sick people. We want to focus on the whole person with prevention and wellness."
The clinic, however, will still deal with acute illnesses and chronic disease management.
The Army authorized 27 of these clinics throughout the United States in communities where Army families live, Anderson said. Fourteen have already opened, she said.
This is the first in El Paso, and there are no plans to open additional clinics of this type here, she added.
The tentative target date for opening is February 2013, Anderson said. The Army Corps of Engineers has signed a lease with the building's owner, but the owner still needs to do some extensive renovation work, Anderson said.
The clinic will serve military families who live on the East Side, but anyone who is a TRICARE Prime beneficiary can enroll at the clinic, Anderson said.
It will have the capacity to enroll up to 8,100 patients.
The clinic will occupy nearly 13,000 square feet of space on the third floor of the building.
It will have a staff of 35, which includes six primary care managers who can be doctors or nurse practitioners, 20 nurses and other administrative and support staff.
The clinic will also feature an on-site pharmacy and lab, immunizations and behavioral health services.
Highlights will include same-day appointments, free support groups for people going through deployments or suffering from a particular medical condition, some walk-in appointments and continuity of care.
Every time patients return to the clinic, they will see a member of the team they've been assigned to, so patients and the caregivers get to know each, Anderson said.
Amy Earle is an Army wife who lives on the East Side. She plans to enroll herself and her four children, ages 11 to 18, at the clinic.
"I'm excited about the concept," Earle said. "I like the fact I won't be on post and it's a five-minute drive from my house. I like the fact there will be a pharmacy there where I can quickly refill my prescriptions."
She also likes the idea of getting to know the doctors and other health-care providers who will serve her and her family.

This is my first blog on NG I been using the site for awhile but thought it was time to voice my opinion and try to give out some helpful insight.
I will most likely be on regularly considering I play flash games as I take breaks from study and Anime. Speaking of anime I would love to talk to anyone who also likes it and could suggest any to me because I have watched so much I can't remember what ones I seen or not.
Also I will try review a anime and Flash game every week. Considering I'm better a playing and reviewing games then making them. (Lol yeah I fail badly at flash)
Anyway its great to be apart of the Newgrounds community and hope I can be of some use to the game developers.
Regards, Kurayami Kokoro

In a split vote late Wednesday, trustees of the Ysleta Independent School District approved a $155-million bond sale election on July 19.
The district will seek the permission from Gov. Rick Perry to hold the election on that date. The money from the bond sale would be used to improve schools and would not mean tax increases.
Trustees who voted for the bond election were board president Patricia McLean, and trustees Marty Reyes, Deby Lewis and Paul Pearson.
Trustees Connie Woodruff, Shane Haggerty and Ana Duenez voted against having a bond election in July.
During public input, Linda Valencia, president of the Ysleta Teacher's Association, and members of the public urged trustees to vote against the bond until a new superintendent is selected for the district and asked the district be more transparent.
"It seems to me that the bond has become a priority rather than the superintendent search," Valencia said. "Your priority should be the superintendent search because he or she should be the one pushing the bond election -- not the board."
Interim Superintendent Anna Perez said the district has been transparent by hosting community meetings and seeking input from the public regarding the district's needs.
Trustees discussed their options for a possible bond election with the school district's attorney Anthony Safi. Trustees and Safi had a similar discussion at the district's special board meeting on Jan. 8, in which Safi suggested that a bond election, could be held on May 10, July 19 or Nov. 4.
A May election could cost the district more than $190,000 and a July election would need the permission from Perry.
A July 19 election is possible because the city council decided in December to host a special election to replace city Rep. Eddie Holguin and Municipal Court Judge Rick Olivo.
Officials with the city said a letter has been submitted to the governor. Cynthia Meyer, a spokeswoman for Perry, said they had not received the letter from the city yet.
Safi said that holding an election in November could risk the district losing $8 million in state funds for 2016 and 2017.
In other actions, trustees approved, 6 to 1, a $70,000 demographic study by Templeton Demographics, based in Southlake, Texas.
Dueñez opposed the study and said the funds could be used toward maintenance of the facilities.

BOURNE — Police are investigating a two-vehicle head-on crash at the base of the Sagamore Bridge that left one dead, ejected another, injured five others and closed the bridge to traffic to and from the Cape Thursday night, according to the state police.
Following the crash, police issued an alert to law enforcement to be on the lookout for a dark-colored pickup truck with heavy front-end damage headed toward Cape Cod. The driver allegedly caused the accident before fleeing the scene, according to state police.
The 8:02 p.m. crash was in the westbound lane of Route 3 at the Scusset Beach Road exit, said a spokesman with the Massachusetts State Police in Bourne.
The driver of a minivan died, while the lone occupant of a pickup truck was ejected and was taken to South Shore Hospital in South Weymouth with life-threatening injuries.
There were five others in the minivan who were also taken to area hospitals, including two with life-threatening injuries, one of whom is a child.
Traffic from the Scenic Highway and the Cape was being diverted to the Bourne Bridge.
At 10:04 p.m., the Sagamore Bridge was closed in both directions as firefighters extracted a body from the silver minivan, which has New Jersey plates. The minivan was facing west in the westbound lane, pushed onto the sidewalk and up against the guardrail. No rescue vehicles were on the scene at that time.
The second vehicle, a green pickup truck, was facing east in the westbound lane. Its front end was caved in all the way to its wheels.
A couple of flatbed trucks, state police cruisers and unmarked vehicles were at the scene as a state police team reconstructed the accident.
The bridge was dry with no fog, but skies were slightly overcast, at the time of the crash.
By 10:45 p.m., the area near the Christmas Tree Shops at 5 Cranberry Highway was gridlock, with 100-plus cars in the store's parking lot, where drivers came to wait for traffic to clear so they could get over the bridge.
Most travelers had no idea why they were stuck on the Cape.
Eli Jennings of Wilmington was visiting the Cape with his family. He had left Dennis in his minivan at about 7:30 p.m. and hit bad traffic on Route 6 at 8:30. It took another 1� hours or so to get to the Christmas Tree Shops parking lot, where they were still waiting at about 10:45 p.m.
"It's taken us a lot longer than it should," said Jennings, who didn't know the cause of the holdup.
Also in a minivan in the lot with her family was Anna Nguyen of Dorchester, who said it took two hours to get from their day-trip destination farther east on the Cape.
"We came down from Boston for the holiday, but we had no good luck today," she said, unaware of the nature of the accident.
They were waiting to get back over the bridge, too.

About Greg Anderson
Greg Anderson was born in Box Hill, Victoria and moved to the Gold Coast, Queensland with his parents in 1986. A member of the Scout Association for ten years, Greg developed a love of the outdoors and environment from an early age and has gone on to support many environmental and sustainability organisations and causes over the years including Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund, Australian Geographic Society and Greenhouse Neutral Foundation. Greg became an entrepreneur while still in school, opting to start a lawn-mowing business rather than get a part-time job and after developing a keen interest in computers began teaching small business owners how to choose, install and use computers for their own business.
Computers and Technology
Graduating high school in 1992 the computer business continued becoming a full-time endeavour with a rapidly-growing client base of small and medium-sized Gold Coast and South East Queensland businesses. This is where Greg quickly learned one of the biggest challenges facing the self-employed: you don't have one boss, you have many. Finding the balance of having enough clients to keep you fed during the quiet times yet still capable of keeping all clients happy during the busy periods can be a stressful juggling act. As the internet gained popularity Greg and his then business partner purchased a share of an Internet Service Provider in 1998 and established offices in the CBD of Bundall on the Gold Coast. In many respects this was the beginning of an ending, having borrowed very heavily to buy into the business its rapid growth left Greg and his partner unable to continue to fund the expansion. The resultant customer attrition due to poor service levels saw a sharp decline in revenue and the decision was made to sell back what was left and walk away, keeping only a massive amount of debt for what was little more than a twelve-month foray into the world of Telecoms. He continued for some time in the computer services field until finally deciding it was time for a clean break, which came in the form of a move into transport and distribution.
Greg Anderson Today
Starting over at the very bottom of a new food chain and pecking order was a breath of fresh air and Greg was quickly once again bitten by the self-employment bug and transitioned from employee to independent contractor, owning and operating several successful parcel courier businesses with Australia's number one customer rated company. Upon selling those he took a role as Manager of Operations and Logistics for automotive lubricant industry leader Bitron International, where he currently works today. A qualified Occupational Health and Safety Practitioner and International Maritime Dangerous Goods Shipping expert Greg Anderson shares his knowledge of the fundamentals of moving goods from warehouse to consumer with small and medium-sized businesses and teaches how to incorporate environmental sustainability in every business process to maximise profit and reduce overall footprint. Writing targeted Small Business / Home Business tips and strategies Greg welcomes questions on any topic he can help you with and looks forward to working with you in your business.

Republican state Sen. Tom Tiffany, left, of Hazelhurst, describes the latest version of a bill that changes the process for allowing new iron ore mines to open in Wisconsin at a news conference with other state lawmakers on Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2012, in Madison, Wis. (AP Photo/Scott Bauer)
- Filed Under
I grew up on the western border of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, right along the Wisconsin state line, within minutes of the mine proposed by Gogebic Taconite. You would think I have a strong feeling one way or the other about the controversy, but I don't.
Simply put, the whole subject is colored in gray for me, with no definite conclusion in sight.
There are always two sides to any story and it's those sides that stand clear to me. For 27 years, I lived in the western U.P., a place that will be directly affected by the mine, good and bad. For the past 21 years, I've been in the Fox Valley, a place remarkably different from my hometown.
When I first moved to the Fox Valley, I couldn't help but compare it to where I came from. Everyone seemed to be heading somewhere, doing things that weren't usual, like going to Chicago for a concert or heading to Green Bay for a football game.
The adventure didn't have to make sense. It just had to be available. In my area of the U.P., we didn't do those things. We didn't do them because we couldn't. There simply wasn't any money for stuff like that.
When you grow up in a world in which money is tight, sometimes you forget possibility even exists. You forget that it's OK to have fun once in a while and go on an adventure for no reason other than you want to.
When there's a question about paying to see the doctor vs. how much you'll eat that week, you don't have the optimism a positive bank account can nurture.
When you can't sleep at night because you're about to get laid off from the ski hill, "no" is the only answer you can give.
Mining jobs would alleviate a lot of those problems and bring some optimism back to a region deserted by hope for many. I know some of those people, I grew up with them and I want them to prosper. There's a beautiful self-sufficiency in them, born of a rugged necessity to work with what they have.
The people I know don't ask for a lot of favors. They'd rather not let you know they can't do something on their own.
But the other side has a compelling argument, too. If you've never visited the U.P. and northern Wisconsin, you should. When I lived there, I couldn't see how beautiful my natural surroundings were.
Living within something is the surest way to ignore it. I got used to bluffs and forests and waterfalls everywhere I looked. In the fall, the leaves turning color only meant snow was coming. I didn't see Superior as a great lake.
After a while, when I went back home for a visit, I started noticing those natural wonders in a way I never did before. Suddenly, I couldn't wait to walk along the stony shore of Lake Superior, dipping a foot into the icy water and looking for Canada.
I wanted to trip down paths into the woods, searching for that first inspiring view of a waterfall, thrilling to the sound of the rushing water that met me first.
And in the fall, I paid careful attention to my favorite bluff, filled with painted leaves waving in the wind like a final bow before the curtain closes.
That's what I'm afraid might get lost in the shuffle. I've been many places around this country and have seen some of the broader world as well. There are spots on this planet that we shouldn't touch - places where our fingerprints don't belong. The Penokee Range is one of those places.
My grandfathers were miners back when iron ore was the king of all industry in the U.P., and my dad and father-in-law worked in a copper mine before it closed up, leaving hundreds of men and families without an income.
I just don't know that this new mine is the answer, no more than I can raise a sign in protest against it.
It's so tempting to fall one way or the other, I chose to take a middle ground, a decision that might look wishy-washy but I think is the only way. We need to protect our resources as we harvest them. There can't be a rush to mine without thoughtful consideration of the environment.
That doesn't mean there is no mine. It just means we need to think about the day when this mine leaves, like they all did before.
What can we do to make sure that, when we wake up on that day, we don't rise to devastation, both economic and environmental?
I want those jobs to happen but not at any cost. There's a price to pay for everything. Gogebic Taconite could very well bring an economic rebirth to northern Wisconsin and the western U.P., but don't fool yourself that the region has nothing to lose in that gain. The area will give up its natural treasure in exchange for economic growth.
We need to measure out that exchange carefully, lest the balance tip too far in either direction.

My Napkin Calculation For A Netflix Bankruptcy 3 commentsOct 24, 2012 12:01 AM | about stocks: NFLX
For a background basis- check out my original hypothesis last February. I missed the mark on revenues which has pushed my date for a liquidity crunch back a few months to a year. There's a chance I could be wrong again IF subscribers can grow fast enough.
Numbers are based on an annualized basis from the Q3-12 letter to shareholders data.
My recent article sums up the earnings miss and related events.
The Napkin Calculation
Please keep in mind this assumes 4 quarters at the annualized rate of Q3-12. It's very likely that revenue will increase slightly and that other expenditures will also increase. The question is whether or not revenue growth will outpace additional expenditures, especially international expansion.
Revenue at $905M*4= 3620M in cash inflows
Content liabilities are estimated at $2.1-$2.2B --> $2150M
$1470M left.
interest+g&a+marketing+techdev+fulfillment ($291.7*4=1167M)
$303M left. (please note that fulfillment will likely slightly decrease due to less DVD traffic, marketing and G&A increases should more than comp)
Subscription costs are difficult to breakdown... What is the cost of bandwith/servers/etc. What are the costs of tech support, and other related fees? The best method I can figure is to take the $602.1M in "subscription costs and subtract the $410.9M amortization of streaming content liabilities that is include in the operating cash flow statement. I am taking out the $410.9M since this figure would already be included in the upcoming $2.15B liability bomb.
This leaves $191.2M per Q X 4 = $764.8M annually
Netflix will burn $461.8M in cash in the next 12 months if revenues do not outpace related expenses!
Netflix has $790M in cash and STI, but the next 12m will not be much better. Plus NFLX will be forced to stop buying new content which will drive subs away. Any way you slice it, going cash flow negative on a large scale will spell the end for NFLX.
To avoid this end, they need to find $435M more revenue in the next 12m while holding expenses constant. Since it's impossible to hold these other expenses constant, I'll be extremely genererous and assume 50% growth. They need $870M.
How Many Subscribers Do They Need?
As DVD continues to go away, the revenue/sub continues to fall, although it appears to be stabilizing around $30/q--> $120y. Effectively they need 7.25M subs TODAY to breakeven, and that is WITHOUT counting DVD exits.
Let's assume DVD exits are extremely slow- only 250k leave each qtr. Since it takes approx 1.5 streamers to replace the revenue of a DVD user, we need a qtrly gain of 375k subs just to break even.
For the 7.25M mentioned above, assuming equal quarterly gains, and 0 gains today, they need approx 14.5M at the end of the year/4 qtrs = 3.625M subs + .375M from DVD = 4M each quarter.
In Summary
I'm being VERY generous to Netflix here, and they still need to gain 4M streamers each quarter for all 4 next quarters just to stay cash flow neutral.
The past 4 quarters from Q4-11 to Q3-12, NFLX has added .1M, 2.83M, 1.28M, and 1.78M.
Good luck!!

I'm long NFLX and have 1w $62.50c. I still fully endorse this calculation, but I caution that it's very basic-- it's literally a "napkin-style" model. The 'conflict of interest' should no longer apply to my analysis.
I shorted into earnings, sold the puts at around 945 am (15 min into trading), then bought both NFLX long and the $62.50 calls.
Doubled my position in $ACI 2021 Senior Notes at $0.50 ($100 par). Actual outlay closer to 4c due to amortized interest. 5 days ago
Delay trade: 2x boost to $NNA stake at $3.25. Average, ex-div basis is now at $3.33. Report coming soon. 5 days ago
Delay trades: rolled $NAT proceeds into $TNK at $6.80. Crazy undervalued relative to their earnings and to peers. Should be $10+ minimum. 5 days ago
