5 Video Gaming Characteristics That Are Now Dead (But Were Once Popular)
Categories: Culture, Video Games - Humor
|eBay Seller lukiegames
The following are five examples of video gaming characteristics that are now dead, but were once popular.
Detailed, Colorful Instruction Manuals
Replaced with: tutorials integrated into the game
|you don't get much more than this in the Uncharted 3 instruction booklet
Did you see that thin, black and white booklet that comes bundled with the video games that you buy? Probably not, because not too many people read instruction booklets anymore. Once in vivid color, containing dozens of pages of art and detailed gameplay instructions, gaming manuals these days typically contain nothing more than a controller guide and health warnings.
What modern game developers are doing these days is integrating tutorials right into the gameplay, typically in a mandatory tutorial level at the beginning of the game. Players, therefore, will have a general grasp of the controls and mechanics by the time the main part of the game starts.
Remember the 80s, when the first thing you'd do after buying a game is pulling out the instruction manual and reading it? Looking back, it seems like a whole different time period.
Health Packs
Replaced with: Health Regeneration
Modern games don't typically use these bothersome health packs anymore. As wonderful as they'd be if they existed in reality, health packs are now a bothersome thing of the past. Instead, games like Gears of War and Uncharted use instant health regeneration. If your character's been shot in the face a couple of times, simply take about 5 seconds of rest. His health will be immediately full. Whether gamers these days are just getting lazier or developers are simply making their action games flow more smoothly, one thing's for certain: we'll rarely see those cute health packs in the future.
Using The "Select" Button to Actually Select Things
Really, when was the last time someone actually used the "select" button on a controller to, you know, actually select something? Another example of an old tradition that just lingered around, the select button hasn't had proper use since the days of the SNES. These days, it's more of a "miscellaneous" button that has multiple uses, such as accessing a radio or map screen.
The XBOX 360 controller renamed this awkward button to "back," and the Nintendo simply scrapped the button altogether on the Wii. Like a useless appendage, perhaps this button will no longer be needed during the next console generations and will simply fall off.
Long, Boring, Non-Interactive Cutscenes
Replaced with: Being Locked in a Room While Events Occur
|hours upon hours of these codec screens!
When Metal Gear Solid 2 came out in 2001, players were appalled with how little game there was in this video game. A majority of the game's story was presented in long cut scenes, often spanning hours at a time. In fact, I knew of a person who had to pee in a Big Gulp cup because he did not want to miss an un-pausible cutscene toward the end of the game. Gross? Yes, but what little choice do gamers have when you can't even pause these hour-long movies?
Modern games have changed that. Instead of presenting players with what is basically a non-interactive movie to tell a story, stories in many games these days occur in real-time. In the ending of Bioshock, for example (spoilers ahead), the player is forced to kill Andrew Ryan during an amazing monologue. All of this happened using the game's in-engine graphics, and remained in a first person viewpoint while the player continues to have control over the character's actions.
However, stories being presented in real-time often can be executed poorly, too. In some games such as Dead Space (as great as it was), players will find themselves locked up in a room and would be forced to watch a sequence of events to progress to narrative before the door can open up again. So instead of watching a long, boring cut scene, modern gamers can now watch a long, boring cutscene through windows of a locked room.
NPCs Talking to You With Their Dying Breath
Replaced with: NPCs Writing on the Wall With Blood
There's a funny thing that you may have noticed in modern video game fiction: just about every non playable character spends their dying moments writing on walls with their own blood. In games like Bioshock and Dead Space, there are messages written in blood all over place depicting what a character's final thoughts were. Phrases such as "Forgive us," "Let Me Go," or "The cake was a lie" are all words that someone thought was important enough to leave behind using the last bit of strength and blood in their dying bodies.
you rarely see bloody writing on games of old. Back then, dying characters would actually talk to you. In Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Link finds his dying uncle in the basement of Hyrule Castle. With his dying breath, he utters the famous lines, "Link, you can do it! Save the Princess... Zelda is your..." If A Link to the Past were a modern game, Link would have found his uncle already dead, with the same words written in blood on the wall behind him.

- Details
- Usage
- Treat Fish Disease
- Control A Broad Spectrum of Illnesses
- Easy To Dose In Ponds
API® MelaFix Antibacterial Remedy is an all-natural medication derived from the leaves of "Melaleuca", the scientific name for the Tea Tree. MelaFix has powerful antibacterial properties that treat the wound and promote rapid tissue healing. Healing and tissue regeneration in koi and goldfish can usually be seen in the first four days of treatment.
Disease-causing organisms are present in all ponds. Any time a physical abrasion damages fish tissue, bacterial and fungal pathogens seize the opportunity to infect the fish. Shipping, netting, and poor water quality also weaken the fish's immune system, permitting disease problems to occur. Skin and fin abrasions are an unavoidable part of fish keeping. Therefore the potential for disease problems occur with every new fish arrival, whether it is at the hatchery, fish wholesaler, pond shop, or in the pond.
External bacterial infections cause a variety of symptoms including split and ragged fins. The fish's eyes may become coated with a whitish slime or protrude from the head. Bacterial infections cause hazy, slimy patches to develop on the body. These patches may develop into red ulcers. "Mouth Fungus" caused by Flavobacterium (formerly Flexibacter), causes mouth tissue to deteriorate. MelaFix heals the wound and restores damaged tissue.

Academic Experience:
I am taking up Medical Coding And Billing this is my 5th week and I am blown away how the teachers and staff motivate me to do better. I have never been so excited to go to school.
Academic Experience:
The workload is challenging but they offer as much support needed they teach you what is needed for the real world and won't accept less than what you are able to give.
Academic Experience:
The workload was just right for me to handle. The programs helped me in achieving what I set out to do. Each program helped me in developing a skill that I can one day use for my career.
Academic Experience:
All of the teachers I had were very helpful and were there when I asked a question about the assignments.
Academic Experience:
Antonelli College offers a variety of subjects both online and in the traditional classrooms. I chose the online courses since taking a online course would work with my work schedule. If they didn't have anything that I was interested in taking online then I would probably look into taking a course in a traditional classroom. In the online courses you have plenty of interactions with the students and with the teachers, along with the other departments in case you need to talk to someone about something like financial aid for example.

NewTek brings AirPlay support to TriCaster interface
updated 06:30 pm EDT, Tue April 12, 2011
High-end production gear works with iOS devices
NewTek has announced that its latest TriCaster production gear, the 850 Extreme, now allows users to work with audio and video from any AirPlay-enabled device. The support enables the equipment to simultaneously connect with two AirPlay sources, including the iPad, iPod touch, iPhone and a variety of Macs.
The company suggests it strived for AirPlay support, rather than creating its own custom app, so third-party developers can continue to create apps that automatically work with the TriCaster. The 850 Extreme is said to work with any AirPlay application, enabling the wireless feeds to be used for live production or recording.
Aside from AirPlay support, the TriCaster enables users to record up to eight channels of video from any input or output. The system supports multi-format recording, while providing a wealth of options for audio adjustment and video configuration.
The TriCaster 850 Extreme will be available in the third quarter of 2011 for $40,000.

CC Talks With: Elspeth Revere of the MacArthur Foundation
Elspeth Revere,
MacArthur Foundation / CC BY
Elspeth Revere is the Vice President in charge of Media, Culture and Special Initiatives at the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The MacArthur Foundation has generously supported CC since our founding in 2002. Join MacArthur and help keep CC going strong by making a donation today.
Can you give us some background on the MacArthur Foundation?
MacArthur is one of the nation's largest independent foundations. The MacArthur Foundation supports creative people and effective institutions committed to building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world. In addition to selecting the MacArthur Fellows, the Foundation works to defend human rights, advance global conservation and security, make cities better places, and understand how technology is affecting children and society.
With assets over $5 billion, MacArthur will award approximately $230 million in grants this year. Through the support it provides, the Foundation fosters the development of knowledge, nurtures individual creativity, strengthens institutions, helps improve public policy, and provides information to the public, primarily through support for public interest media.
The Foundation was established in 1978. Last year, it made 600 grants for a total of $230 million.
What is your role there?
I am Vice President in charge of Media, Culture and Special Initiatives. We have three ongoing areas of work. The first is in public interest media, where we support public radio, documentary films, deep and analytical news programs, and investigative reporting. The second is support to over 200 arts and culture organizations in our home city, Chicago. The third is institutional support to help strengthen nonprofit organizations that are key to the Foundation's grantmaking fields so that they will exist and be effective over the long term. In addition, we conduct a changing set of special grantmaking initiatives that are intended to be short-term and responsive to a particular problem or opportunity.
The MacArthur Foundation is a private foundation (not a corporate sponsor) that supports Creative Commons – what was the motivation behind this generous giving? What is it about CC that you find important?
In about 1999, MacArthur began exploring the question of how the digital revolution would impact society and the issues that the Foundation cared about and what a Foundation like MacArthur could do to help people understand and shape this phenomenon for the overall good. We held a series of consultations and some of the people who later became founders of Creative Commons, including Larry Lessig and Jamie Boyle, talked to us about both the promise of technology to unlock information and make it widely and easily available, and the concern that digital tools could also be used to limit the public availability of information. They, and others, helped us to understand that copyright laws, originally intended to regulate industry, were increasingly regulating consumers and their behavior — and this was even before blogging, podcasts, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and all the other sharing tools that we now rely on.
In 2002, MacArthur began a six year funding initiative on Intellectual Property and the Long-Term Protection of the Public Domain. Our first grant to Creative Commons was made that year. It was an exemplary organization for us to support because we were looking for new models of thinking about intellectual property in a digital age. All told, we have made 4 grants totaling $3.15 million to support its work. And Creative Commons has become a successful tool for sharing information in the arts, sciences, governance, and education throughout the world.
What is the link between the MacArthur Foundation and CC? Do you use our tools in your work? Or are our tools more applicable to your grantees?
MacArthur policy calls for openness in research and freedom of access to data. We encourage our grantees to explore opportunities to use existing and emerging Internet distribution models and when appropriate open access journals, Creative Commons licenses or other mechanisms that result in broad access for the interested field and public. While we do not insist that grantees use Creative Commons licenses, we do suggest their use when appropriate and practical.
What do you see as CC's role in the broader digital ecosystem? How does CC enable the MacArthur Foundation and its grantees to better innovate in that space?
Creative Commons has made all of us more aware of information sharing — how and why we use the information of others and when and how we will let others use what we create. It has provided the tools to allow us to share what we make both easily and widely if we want to do so. It has enabled communities to form around the world to work on common interests ranging from music and governance. And it has demonstrated that these communities can solve legal, technical and practical problems together.
Help make sure Creative Commons can continue to develop and steward tools that are crucial to sharing information in the arts, sciences, governance, and education throughout the world. Make a donation today.Comments Off on Elspeth Revere of the MacArthur Foundation
2010 Digital Media and Learning Competition
HASTAC's third annual Digital Media and Learning Competition launched yesterday, an initiative supported by the MacArthur Foundation. Last year's theme was participatory learning, and CC Learn was awarded a grant for Student Journalism 2.0—a pilot initiative "engaging high school students in understanding the legal and technical issues intrinsic to new and evolving journalistic practices." The pilot, by the way, is in full swing, and we are entering our second semester after the holidays. Check out sj.creativecommons.org for updates.
This year's DMLC theme is "Competition is Reimagining Learning and there are two types of awards: 21st Century Learning Lab Designers and Game Changers." From the announcement,
"Aligned with National Lab Day as part of the White House's Educate to Innovate Initiative, the 21st Century Learning Lab Designer awards will range from $30,000-$200,000. Awards will be made for learning environments and digital media-based experiences that allow young people to grapple with social challenges through activities based on the social nature, contexts, and ideas of science, technology, engineering and math."
For more or to apply, see dmlcompetition.net. The winning products and/or programs in the 21st Century Learning Lab Designers category will be licensed CC BY-NC-SA or be available as Open Source.Comments Off on 2010 Digital Media and Learning Competition
The Future of Learning Institutions in a Digital Age
HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory) announced a new report called, "The Future of Learning Institutions in a Digital Age," now available at MIT Press. The report is in response to our changing times, and addresses what traditional educational institutions must know to keep up. From the announcement,
"Cathy N. Davidson and David Theo Goldberg in an abridged version of their book-in-progress, The Future of Thinking: Learning Institutions in a Digital Age, argue that traditional institutions must adapt or risk a growing mismatch between how they teach and how this new generation learns. Forms and models of learning have evolved quickly and in fundamentally new directions. Yet how we teach, where we teach, who teaches, and who administers and serves have changed only around the edges. This report was made possible by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in connection with its grant making initiative on Digital Media and Learning."
A central finding was that "Universities must recognize this new way of learning and adapt or risk becoming obsolete. The university model of teaching and learning relies on a hierarchy of expertise, disciplinary divides, restricted admission to those considered worthy, and a focused, solitary area of expertise. However, with participatory learning and digital media, these conventional modes of authority break down."
Not coincidentally, one of the ten principles for redesigning learning institutions was open source education: "Traditional learning environments convey knowledge via overwhelmingly copyright-protected publications. Networked learning, contrastingly, is an "open source" culture that seeks to share openly and freely in both creating and distributing knowledge and products."
The report is available in PDF via CC BY-NC-ND.Comments Off on The Future of Learning Institutions in a Digital Age
Student Journalism 2.0
Never has it become more plainly evident that the old model of news reporting—reporting via professional print media to the people—is crumbling, as one by one newspapers across the country shut down. We can lament these long-standing institutions, wax poetic for the "good old days", or we can actually do something about it.
The solution is not to throw money at the problem, because money doesn't force people to read what they don't want to. The solution is to engage actively with the new forms of media out there, and to explore why the web and "new" media are replacing print news. Where does it all start, and what are the advantages of web journalism?
The MacArthur Foundation in partnership with HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Science and Technology Advanced Collaboratory) has awarded $2 million to nineteen projects spanning the globe and innovations in digital media and learning. One of these projects is Student Journalism 2.0, spearheaded by ccLearn. From the competition website,
"For journalism students, the digital age requires more than hands-on reporting, writing, and publication of stories. Students must also embrace the capabilities of the Internet for virtual collaboration, viral dissemination, and feedback loops that inform and deepen original stories. All of these web-based opportunities depend on knowledge and proactive application of open content licensing, such as with Creative Commons, and appropriate metatags and technical formats. Student Journalism 2.0 engages high school students in understanding legal and technical issues intrinsic to new journalistic practices. The lessons learned during this pilot project will be documented in anticipation of a national-scale, follow-up project."
ccLearn's Executive Director, Ahrash Bissell, is currently accepting the grant in Chicago at the awards ceremony and the projects showcase of last year's Digital Media and Learning Competition winners. The event runs through tomorrow, and you can read the full press release here.
We wrote the proposal sometime last year, got enmeshed in the daily grind of other projects and work, and forgot about it. Spring brought fantastic news, and we would like to give our greatest thanks to the MacArthur Foundation, HASTAC, and everyone else involved in making this possible. We will keep you posted as the project develops. For now, you can read the original project proposal at the ccLearn site, licensed CC BY, of course.Comments Off on Student Journalism 2.0
Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education
Today, the Center for Social Media at AU released a Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy in Education—a guide for educators and students to the use of copyrighted materials in the classroom. This guide is aimed at clearing up many of the urban myths surrounding copyright, as many educators mistakenly believe that the use of copyrighted photographs in the classroom is illegal, when in fact, fair use allows such uses without teachers even having to obtain permissions.
From last week's press release,
"A variety of content and media is now available online, but fear and misinformation have kept teachers and students from using this valuable material, including portions of films, TV coverage, photos, songs, articles, and audio, in the classroom.
Now, thanks to a coordinated effort by the media literacy community, supported by experts at American University and Temple University, teachers and students have a step-by-step guide that simplifies the legalities of using copyrighted materials in an academic setting…
The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education outlines five principles, each with limitations:
Educators can, under some circumstances:
1. Make copies of newspaper articles, TV shows, and other copyrighted works, and use them and keep them for educational use.
2. Create curriculum materials and scholarship with copyrighted materials embedded.
3. Share, sell and distribute curriculum materials with copyrighted materials embedded.
Learners can, under some circumstances:
4. Use copyrighted works in creating new material
5. Distribute their works digitally if they meet the transformativeness standard."
A great video accompanies the guide, if you want a quick and entertaining primer on the issues the code addresses.
This project was funded by one of our own long-term supporters, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.2 Comments »
2nd Annual Digital Media and Learning Competition
Last week, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, long-time supporter of CC, announced the second annual Digital Media and Learning Competition. The 2008 competition is a collaborative result of the MacArthur Foundation, the University of California, Irvine, Duke University, and HASTAC, a virtual and voluntary network of educators and innovators committed to improving learning via technology. The competition accompanies the MacArthur Digital Media and Learning Initiative, a $50 million, five-year initiative that was launched in 2006 to "help determine how digital technologies are changing the way people, especially young people, learn, play, socialize, and participate in civic life."
This year's competition theme is "Participatory Learning," which focuses on the collaborative aspect of learning by exploring different and new models in digital media. This may include "major adaptations of existing models of gaming, world building, social networking or other virtual environments; or the development of entirely new programs." The emphasis, however, is on "a strong commitment to making possible new ways of valuable participatory learning, as opposed to simply creating new content."
$2 million will be awarded in sum over two categories: "Innovation in Participatory Learning" and "Young Innovator." The latter's focus is the same, but the targeted group is 18-25 year old persons who are willing to "think boldly about what comes next in participatory learning and to contribute to making it happen."
The winning products and/or programs will be licensed CC BY-NC-SA or be available as Open Source. For more details, see the MacArthur Foundation's August 18th press release and the competition guidelines.
For examples of winning projects, see last year's winners in Innovation and Knowledge-Networking.Comments Off on 2nd Annual Digital Media and Learning Competition

There are no buildings ard my town it would be nice if I could take one with my camera.
Architecture has been called the most powerful of the arts, because, after all, architects are building upward, literally overcoming gravity. Nowhere is that power more evident than in the skyscraper, towering above the cityscape.
Buildings as works of art
The urban jungle can be a bit suffocating at times, but it makes for fantastic photos. Skyscrapers are monuments to our multitasking lives, but capturing them with the right exposure is not always easy. Being able to adjust your exposure settings on the fly is crucial.

The lenses on Samsung SMART CAMERA NX Systems make exposure adjustments a cinch. With the i-Function button right on the lens, the most common exposure settings are right at your fingertips. Simply press the i-Function button to select the desired setting and turn the focus ring to adjust it.
What the building becomes
Some buildings, like the one above, are structurally breathtaking in and of themselves. Other buildings aren't so much about what they are, as what they become. Reflective glass is a popular architectural means of creating dynamism. In the morning, the building is painted in sunrise hues. At noon, in sky blue. At times, it even pays homage to the buildings around it.

For the aspiring photographer, this means that buildings can take on an ever-changing fourth dimension. Camping out in front of your favorite building will yield an infinite variety of shots over the course of a day.
Dramatic photos larger than life
Here is a tip for capturing the full majesty of a towering skyscraper. If you can set up with a tripod at a bit of a distance, switch your Samsung SMART CAMERA NX System to Panorama Mode. Depress the shutter button and hold as you gently sweep the building from its base to its top. The result will be an impressive, almost surreal, representation the reaches to the sky.

There are no buildings ard my town it would be nice if I could take one with my camera.
Hi, noname! How about going travel photography? Good luck to your new photos
Sad, that team didn't remember about the old Imagelogers.
I have so much architecture….
We will see
Give me a challenge
Thanks, Daniel!

The past few weeks have seen a steep rise in tensions between Israel and Palestine, following the tragic death of three Israeli teenagers -Gilad Shaar, Naftali Fraenkel and Eyal Yi frach and subsequent revenge killing of a Palestinian teen Mohammed Abu Khdeir. The ultra nationalist zeal instigated by these recent events has led to a very grim situation in the region with both sides firing rockets at each other resulting in heavy loss of civilian life and property, and there is a real possibility of Israeli ground invasion of the Gaza strip.
By Thursday, Israel had carried out more than hundred airstrikes that had resulted in the death of over 88 Palestinians. Similarly, Hamas had fired over 300 rockets into different cities of Israel and called all Israeli as "legitimate targets". As the situation deteriorates and the world gets divided between those favoring Israel and Palestine, it's very important to condemn any form of violence as well as realize the ineffectiveness of violence as a means to achieve any resolution on the dispute.
Israel and Palestine are locked in a self-serving vicious cycle of violence where each side's violent actions not only hurt the civilian population of the other country but also give the other an excuse to retaliate violently. The cycle of violence goes like this-Hamas fires rockets in Israel that makes Israel start airstrike into Gaza, which results in death of civilians and that, in turn, justifies the actions of Hamas and gives It a reason to continue firing rockets into Israel.
This cycle of violence is not new to this region, the world is aware of this pattern, but despite that we don't see a serious effort by the world's leading countries to bring these warring parties to the negotiation table. However, What is see is Propaganda from each side to accuse the other side of wrong doing and a race to label the other side as oppressive, terrorizing, and evil. These propagandists have used the cyclical violent events in the region to make the clashes look like the clash of cultures and ideas.
There is a need to look at the issue from the perspective of the civilians of the two countries. Palestinians and Israelis have already seen enough violence for a lifetime, and its time to end the suffering of these innocent civilians who are trapped in a war zone through socio-political dialogue. The warring parties need to understand the fact that violence is not the solution. Israel, with its all military power will not be able to eliminate Hamas and other Palestinian groups through the use of violence and similarly, Hamas or any other Palestinian group cannot liberate Palestine through the use of violence only.
To put it in a nutshell, Violence can never be the solution of this problem, Violence can only result in more violence. Lets hope sanity prevails!

- Grove's pension plan lauded by mayors, but questioned by York City official
While many state policy-makers have been talking about the growing and costly pension crisis for the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, an often untold part of the story line is that a similar crisis is brewing at the municipal level.
Today, nearly four in 10 Pennsylvanians live in a financially distressed municipality, often tied to fire and police pension costs. Though cities such as York are on the front lines of the growing municipal pension crisis, full-service townships and boroughs are facing similar challenges. In York City, the data speaks for itself as our municipal pension plans are underfunded by close to $50 million dollars.
Unfortunately, decades-old municipal laws have become dated, inflexible and uncompetitive, and often prevent municipal leaders from approaching modern-day problems with innovative solutions. Simply put, uncontrolled costs eventually require layoffs, service cuts and/or tax increases. These options harm the very workers, residents and businesses needed to sustain and grow a community. No one wants to live, work or grow a business in an over-taxed, under-served, unsafe, and fiscally unstable community.
Enter our own York County legislator, state Rep. Seth Grove, R-York County. Nearly a year ago, I joined Rep. Grove as he set out to find a solution that would offer all municipalities in Pennsylvania the tools needed to rein in future pension costs, while protecting the pensions already earned by current and retired employees. Rep. Grove's legislation, House Bill 1581, does not offer pie-in-the-sky promises — it offers common sense and sound solutions that can help turn around financially struggling communities with full-service costs.
While it may not "pass the muster" for some, most recognize a change is needed, or the choice of finding other employment is imminent.
And now HB 1581 has gained the support of the House Republican Majority Leader, Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny County, who has recognized that municipal pension reform must be included in the overall pension reforms being debated at the state level. I commend both Rep. Grove and Rep. Turzai and ask that our York County legislative delegation and Gov. Tom Corbett take a serious look at this worthy proposal — not just for the sake of our cities, but for all classes of municipalities.
Kim Bracey is the mayor of York City.

1. What professional and/or personal experience do you feel is most relevant to the position you are seeking?
I am the Owner/Publisher of The Colonia Corner and Woodbridge Corner Newspapers. I started the Colonia Corner over 11 years ago (Woodbridge Corner, three years ago) during which time I have gotten to know the people of the Colonia (5th Ward) community very well. I have worked with Veterans and the families whose loved ones have, and continue to, serve our county overseas and at home. I work closely with the Woodbridge Township PTOs (Parent Teacher Organizations) to assist in providing enhanced educational opportunities and extra-curricular activities for all of our school children. And, I have devoted resources to work with, and assist, members of our Senior community and to families who have a special need of community assistance.
2. If you are an incumbent, of what achievements are you most proud during your time in office? If you are a challenger, why have you chosen to run?
I have chosen to run to provide fresh, new representation to the people that live in the Colonia community residents that are my family, my friends, my neighbors, and all of the businesses that keep Colonia thriving. I have served as a voice of the community through the pages of the Colonia Corner newspaper and will be proud to be the official voice of Colonia. It is my desires, and promise, to watch over and protect the town that I truly care about.
3. Please identify the one or two issues you see as most important in this race and summarize your goals in relation to these issues.
One of the most important things I can do as the 5th Ward Councilwoman is to strengthen and beautify the community. As a working member of the Colonia Business Community, I will continue to advocate and work to improve the business climate and economic opportunity for the small businesses currently located in Colonia, and for those businesses seeking to locate in our downtown business district on Inman Avenue. I also feel it is important to listen to the needs of the people in the community and to help to provide the absolute best Quality-of-Life for all of Colonia.
4. What do you see as the biggest difference voters should consider between yourself and your opponent(s)?
I am running unopposed as the only candidate on the ballot for the Fifth Ward (Colonia) in Woodbridge Township. As a 21-year Colonia resident, and full-time community advocate, I will continue to work to bring additional municipal services, economic and business development, and an even better Quality-of-Life for Colonia residents and students.

(AP) LOS ANGELES - International Bird Rescue officials say large numbers of California Brown Pelican fledglings are starving to death, with struggling birds crowding rescue centers up and down the coast.
The rescuers are asking for donations to help feed the fledglings. Many of the young birds haven't learned to hunt for themselves, and are begging humans for food or foraging in areas away from the ocean. IBR spokeswoman Julie Skoglund in Los Angeles says many of them are struggling and dying in parking lots, public piers and beaches.
Rescues in Los Angeles and San Francisco are caring for over 150 birds and new ones arrive daily.
Officials say fledglings need to regain strength for a second chance at making it but that costs nearly $10 per bird per day.

On Friday, John McDonald, a utility-infielder for the San Francisco Giants, buried his father. Jack McDonald died last Tuesday after a battle with liver cancer.
But before he passed away, McDonald told his son to "hit your next home run for me."
On Sunday, Father's Day, John McDonald did what any good boy would do for his dad. He followed his advice.
McDonald belted a home run in his first at-bat since his father's funeral.

- Filed Under
It's a long way from open-mic nights to sold-out arenas, and John Driskell Hopkins is in a bit of disbelief as to how far the Zac Brown Band has traveled.
Hopkins met Brown on the Atlanta bar circuit. The two hit it off, and Brown asked Hopkins to produce an album and, later, join the band, which is now one of the hottest acts in country music.
The bass player gave a phone interview from his home in Atlanta prior to a quick run of late-December dates, including a sold-out show at U.S. Bank Arena on Sunday. ...

WHEN WE DECIDED to tweak TCP's annual survey project several months ago, we hoped to take some focus off of the revenue figures and put it on other issues that are important to producers. I can safely say that we accomplished that in spades. Out is the TCP100, and in is the TCP Survey.
A record number of producers of all sorts—ready-mixed, precast, prestressed, block, and more—completed their questionnaires and told us the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The good? Most producers expect higher sales in 2012 compared to last year. You feel strongly that you manufacture the best construction material in the world. My favorite comment came from Hoyle Stone Products. Commenting on the concrete industry's greatest strength, the company in Millington, Md., answered, "You can't make items that have a lifespan and are durable out of bamboo."
The bad? Producers want the government—local, state, and federal—off of their backs. You don't like the EPA, jumping through hoops during the permitting process, and the new federal health care law.
The ugly? Despite improved sales, producers still need greater demand in their markets. Housing is still mired in the muck. Only 22% of you said the residential category is performing best this year. I'm surprised it's even that high.
I hope you enjoy this issue which features the newly revamped survey, and all of the other regular departments and columns. Please let me know what you think.
If you are as geeky as me and love crunching numbers and statistics, you might enjoy a new mobile app by the U.S. Census Bureau. The America's Economy app lets you take the pulse of the U.S. economy straight from your smartphone. It provides real-time updates for 16 key economic indicators released from the U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Bureau of Economic Analysis. Measures include employment, manufacturing, international trade, residential construction and sales, and more. It is currently only available on Google's Android platform, but the bureau says it will be coming soon to Apple for its iPhone and other devices. Visit www.census.gov for more.
Also, please let me know which mobile smartphone and tablet apps you find useful on the job. We will share them with your fellow readers.

LAST UPDATED: 8:23 a.m. HST, Jun 8, 2014
WAILEA >> It would take a Jedi mind trick to get Lupita Nyong'o to dish about the new "Star Wars VII" movie.
When asked about her character or to reveal any other details of the J.J. Abrams-directed film that has begun shooting at Pinewood Studios in England, the 31-year-old Oscar-winner for "12 Years a Slave" offered only a sly "no," or "I don't know," or "I plead the Fifth."
Appearing at the Maui Film Festival Saturday evening, all Nyong'o would admit to is that "I'm going to a galaxy far, far away."
And that Haleakala would make "a perfect place to shoot" the newest installment in the blockbuster sci-fi franchise.
The 10,000-foot volcano is one of the sites Nyong'o visited during her Maui visit, her first to Hawaii. She was the festival headliner, presented with the Rainmaker Award that honors a film artist "for having the magical ability to impact the creative dynamics of every project they touch."
Other honorees during the five-day event that wrapped up Sunday were Emma Roberts, Evan Rachel Wood, Joe Manganiello and Shep Gordon.
Before accepting the silver plaque, the luminous Nyong'o met reporters in an azure trapeze tank dress with palm trees in heavy gold embroidery by Italian designer Fausto Puglisi. She finished the fun and fitting outfit with gold Louboutin wedge sandals, simple half-hoop earrings, and glossy bubblegum-pink lip color.
Nyong'o said she didn't have any particular activities in mind when looking forward to her Maui visit and prefers "to be led" when encountering new places.
"I was led to Hana and Haleakala. My favorite part was going to Waimoku Falls (in Kipahulu) and passing through the bamboo forest," she said.
Nyong'o, who was born in Mexico, grew up in Kenya and attended Yale Drama School, has conquered the entertainment world over the past year not only for her heart-breaking performance as the tormented Patsey in "12 Years a Slave," but for her perfection on the red carpet. Named to People magazine's Most Beautiful list, she racked up yet another accolade Saturday when the MTV African Music Awards named her Personality of the Year.
Coincidentally, one of the finalists for the MTV honor was award-winning Nigerian author Chimamanda Adichie, whose acclaimed novel "Americanah" is an epic love story of two young Nigerian immigrants across three continents.
It was announced last week that Nyong'o will produce and star in the film adaptation of Adichie's novel, which won the prestigious National Book Critics Circle Awards in 2013. Brad Pitt's Plan B will co-produce.
Nyong's said she acquired the rights to the novel after reading it April 2013.
"I was floored by the way (the author) captured the African immigrant experience. It's a very diverse experience and she captures so many very different versions of it and so many colorful and specific characters," Nyong'o said. "I was also very attracted to the unapologetic love story that has so such humor and heart."
The actress is also the director, editor and producer of the documentary "In My Genes" about the treatment of albinos in Kenya.

In an age when no public gaffe goes untweeted, it didn't take long for the premature release of Google's earnings to spark sarcasm from the social media world.
The filing was clearly in draft form, the best evidence being a placeholder in the press release reading, "PENDING LARRY QUOTE," referring to Google Chief Executive Officer Larry Page.
To fill the void left by Page's absent quote, a Twitter account for "Pending Larry" was quickly created: @PendingLarry. Naturally, the account's bio is "pending." His first post: "… oops."
"Somehow, I'll find a way to blame today's early release on Apple Maps," the parody account's user wrote. "You guys, that SEC filing was a beta release," the user later wrote.
Meanwhile, #pendinglarry and #pendinglarryquote hashtags quickly emerged on Twitter, giving users a landing page for other mocking posts.
"Well that's one way to ensure everyone will read Larry Page's statement," wrote Twitter user David Nakayama.
Google declined to comment.
In a statement on its Google Plus profile, Google's investor relations team blamed the firm R.R. Donnelley & Sons for the mishap, saying the financial printer filed the draft statement "without authorization."
"Google should have had their 'google goggles' on before they released their quarterlies," wrote user Kyall Glennie on his profile.
One possible winner in this mishap? Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who was ridiculed on the Internet over a comment he made during this week's debate. As Twitter user Aram Sinnreich wrote:
"Whew, Mitt lucked out. It seems that #pendinglarryquote is the new #bindersfullofwomen."

A Wilson County woman was accused of filling fraudulent prescriptions and using TennCare to pay for them.
Tiffany N. Ferguson, also known as Tiffany Wilson, 27, of Lebanon, was charged Wednesday with two counts of TennCare fraud and two counts of getting a controlled substance by fraud.
The charges against Ferguson allege that on two separate occasions she presented an altered prescription for the painkiller, Percocet, using TennCare to pay for certain services.
The state inspector general's office led the investigation leading to Ferguson's charges.
"Our message is clear: if you commit fraud against the TennCare program – and the taxpayers – you're going to be caught and prosecuted," Inspector General Deborah Faulkner said. "Local officials, providers and law enforcement, as well as citizens, are behind us and assisting us in our efforts across the state."
Sheriff Robert Bryan said TennCare fraud, particularly related to prescription narcotics, is increasingly common.
"You've seen it more and more over the past year," said Bryan. "[Cases such as this] are really common."
TennCare fraud is a Class E felony, carrying a sentence of up to two years in prison per charge.
Getting a controlled substance by fraud is a Class D felony that carries a sentence of up to four years in prison per charge. District Attorney Tommy Thompson is the prosecutor in the case.
The OIG, which is separate from TennCare, began full operation in February 2005 and investigated cases leading to more than $3.5 million paid in restitution and recoupment to TennCare, with a total estimated cost avoidance of more than $173 million for the TennCare program, according to latest figures. To date, more than 1,700 people have been charged with TennCare fraud.
Through the OIG Cash for Tips Program established by the legislature, Tennesseans can get cash rewards for TennCare fraud tips that lead to convictions. Anyone can report suspected TennCare fraud by calling 800-433-3982 toll-free from anywhere in Tennessee, or log on to tn.gov/tnoig and follow the "Report TennCare Fraud" prompts.

Patrons are invited to give one final salute to Woodlawn Elementary School before it's doors are shuttered.
The school, part of Twin Lakes School Corp., has served Monticello-area students for 63 years, but will close at the culmination of this school year.
Woodchucks - the school's mascot - are invited to celebrate and bid the school a fond farewell during a sendoff picnic and open house.
The school's closure is part of a multistage plan to reorganize Twin Lakes School Corp.
Eight classrooms are being added to Meadowlawn Elementary School, which will house all 196 fifth-grade students who will be relocated from their current locations at the district's four elementary schools.
The move will free up room for Woodlawn students who will be housed in the remaining three elementaries.
Woodlawn's closure was approved last June by the school board. The school was selected because it would be the most costly school for the district to bring up to date.
The picnic and open house will begin at noon Saturday at the school,300 S. Beach Drive in Monticello.
Contact Lori Abbott at 574-583-7281 or check out the "Farewell to Woodlawn" event on Facebook.

Christmas break is the perfect time to undertake a crafty project. But don't think kitschy children's crafts, think a sophisticated Martha Stewart-esque item, dreamed up by Aspen Leaf Interiors designer Olivia Osborne.
Osborne, who said she grew up in a really creative household, has done crafts for a long time.

What's On This Week
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
Saturday, November 28, 2015
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: Katherine Locke achieved most of her fame on Broadway; during the late '30s she was among the Great White Way's brightest lights. Locke also occasionally dabbled in films during the '40s and '50s. Born in Russia but raised in the U.S. on the East Coast, she was originally groomed to be a concert pianist at New York's Damrosch Academy. Locke, however, rebelled against her family's wishes and ran off to Southern California to join the Potboilers, a vibrant group of young actors in Los Angeles. While learning to act on stage, Locke occasionally obtained bit movie roles. She won her first major film role in the crime drama Straight from the Shoulder (1938). ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Why Tomcat Afraid of The Sun?
Tomcat afraid of the sun even though she likes the lights.
Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare (Welfare) Agung Laksono said the insects 'tomcat' or Rove beetles have a toxin that causes injury to human skin, afraid of sunlight.
"Tomcat afraid of the sun even though she likes the lights," said Agung Laksono here on Thursday.
For that, the Court asked the public aware of tomcat in areas not exposed to moisture and sunlight.
"The community itself is often called upon to close the doors and windows when there is given a mosquito net to prevent the beetles that come in," he said.
In addition, the public is also encouraged to use mosquito nets when sleeping in the middle region is endemic beetle attack.
Agung said the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Agriculture have been coordinating to address assault tomcat.
"One of the efforts to control the spraying of insecticides and socialization to the community," he said.
Community, plus the Great to keep the house clean and the environment, especially plants that are not maintained at around the house because it could be a place Paederus beetles.
In addition, the public is also prohibited from rubbing the skin or eyes when in contact with the beetle tomcat.
"When the beetle is in our skin, remove it carefully, by blowing or using the paper to take a beetle," he said.
In addition, he also urged to immediately make the water flow to the skin with soap that come in contact with the insect.

Interview with Big Narstie & True Tiger: "You've got professional chaos"
"Professional chaos" is the term used by Big Narstie to describe the effect of combining both himself and True Tiger and to be honest I couldn't think of a better term. Grime legend Big Narstie is back with his Hello Hi E.P alongside True Tiger and together they have produced some bangers. It became glaringly obvious throughout the interview that both Big Narstie & True Tiger set out to have a fun and chilled experience in the process of creating the E.P not to mention some killer visuals for their lead track Headgone. I spoke to them about working together, the visuals for Headgone and Big Narstie also reveals how he is definitely a leader when it comes to making food in the kitchen! Surprising? I think not – He has major skills!
Could you talk to me a bit more about how the collaboration happened?
True Tiger: Well, we have all known each other for years like when we all got into grime, so from the early grime days we knew Big Narstie and we would see him in videos etc. More recently, we have been spending a lot of time in the studio getting our new stuff down. Big Narstie hit me up and said we have to do something and it just made sense to get him in, so I sent him over an idea, which was one tune, he heard it and sh%t his pants, he rung me about 11:30pm at night singing the chorus down the phone and I was like get it finished so we can record it. Then we spent a couple days in the studio and came out with three tunes, so it just made sense to put that into an E.P.
So how was it like working with each other?
True Tiger: Easy! Really casual, no confrontations.
Big Narstie: There was a lot of smoking sessions, a lot of smoking breaks. [Big Narstie now starts to go off in a tangent LOL] Lion of Judah, burn the herbs, life, Base! So basically it was very comfortable, happened straight away, we finished the E.P in two days and it all started from one song. Now they have the professional sound, when the sound comes through the speakers, its bananas. Myself now, I'm just mad.
So I'm like a bumblebee, should I break it down? Do you know that by actual law of life the bumblebee should not fly, because its body is too big for its wings, but the bumblebee doesn't know this, he just knows that he is a bit bigger than the other bumblebees but he needs to get to a tree like everybody else. So the bumblebee flies, hence defying the laws of physics. BASE! So basically True Tiger has the professional sound and I'm not normal so the fusion of it is nuts. You've got professional chaos.
Do you think your studio sessions went the best way they could have gone?
True Tiger: Yeah, pretty much. I think the only way it could have been better is if they got more messed up. But apart from that, it was sweet and we're going to get back and do some more tunes. So it was really good, it was good fun.
Talk to me about your E.P, Hello Hi, how did the name come about??
True Tiger: Well this guy, (points to Big Narstie)
Big Narstie: Hello Hi is one of my trademark words that I use.
True Tiger: and the SBTV freestyle, we watched that every week and so before we got into the studio with him we just watched it religiously for like six months and if there were times where we needed to lift ourselves up a bit we would play that, and it starts off with "Hello Hi, Hello Hello Hi" for about eight bars. So we loved it already, he obviously loved it and it just fitted with the theme of what we were saying, "Hello hi were working together".
Is this reflected in the tracks on your E.P?
True Tiger: Definitely so, it kind of reflects what we both do and it reflects the fact that this is the start of something as well and our introduction.
What would you say Hello Hi is going to bring to the world of music?
True Tiger: A lot of fun and fu**ed up times
Big Narstie: It's going to be wrong, in a good way, one hundred per cent.
True Tiger: Apart from if some people get really messed up and it goes wrong for them.
Big Narstie: They'll need some antibiotics! [laughs]
Talk to me about your recent release Headgone and your intentions for the song?
True Tiger: Well it's the E.P had three tracks and we needed to pick one as the lead track and that one made sense to be the lead track. It just sounded like the lead song and it sums up what we like doing, which is going out on a Friday night either getting lively for fun or getting a bit mashed. Big Narstie loves doing that coincidently, so it sums up that vibe of letting loose and having a good time and not really worrying. Whatever walk of life or whatever you do when it hits your free time, for us it's Friday night but you know over the weekend it's like that's your time to do you.
The visuals of Headgone are quite interesting, how hands on were you when it came to developing the idea?
Big Narstie: We were full on, we had all the ideas, and I wanted to be in my underpants.
True Tiger: He was really strong on him being in his underpants in the video. We wanted to do a video that was fun and not what you'd expect from the tune, people would probably expect like a club video. Big Narstie was well up for having a kind of animated character of himself and we just wanted to do something as well that wasn't safe. So that's why we had a pit-bull being eaten alive by an actual pit-bull terrier and that's why we also have Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris amongst other things.
Who created the actual animations?
True Tiger: We got an animator and we sent over a load of ideas and said we hope this doesn't sound too crazy.
What does the future hold for True Tiger and Big Narstie?
True Tiger: Well we are promoting this E.P at the moment and then we have our E.P coming out after that and we've just been working on peoples albums and producing which has been good fun. We have been in with Becky Hill for her new album, working with Maverick Saber soon for his new album. So we've really been working on album production and our new E.P, Sooks has his new E.P coming before the end of the year which is called the Night Shift E.P. We've been trying to get the balance right of doing other stuff and our own thing. Big Narstie has a mix tape coming out, What's the story Brixton glory part 2. So it's all about building things up really as were not rushing anything, were just getting tunes down and then putting them out when they feel right. That's the same thing with this E.P we just did it and had the three tunes and it just made sense to put it out straight away.
How have you taken the positive reception, given that there has been a lot of support with your track headgone?
True Tiger: It's been great being played, it's been really good. Big Narstie was moaning about not getting enough radio play before we did the E.P. So I was like, were going to sort that out and we've started to get quite a lot of support, Mr Jam, Target, Logan – so it's been wicked. Loads of DJs are getting behind it, even people on X FM & Rinse FM etc so it's building nicely.
Generally speaking, do you think to get played on the radio you need to make commercial sounds?
True Tiger: I think so, I think it's more how it is presented which is key, rather it being having to be commercial or safe or a pop genre to break the charts. It's all about the way its presented and how its marketed and branded. But I don't think you have to be safe to get day time play list, I think it's kind of how much you believe in it and how much people can connect with it. If people can connect with something, if you look at Skrillex someone that you would probably say your first time hearing him he would never be on day time radio and you know he's got a bigger following than a lot of pop acts. So it's kind of how much you believe in your sound and how much it connects with people.
So Big Narstie, you're proving to be quite the chief I've watched some of your videos, in kitchen would you say (and this applies to all of you) you are a follower or a leader?
Big Narstie: I'm about this life (laughs). I'm a leader one hundred per cent. I am the alpha male!
True Tiger: I don't cook, although I made a toasty and I made Big Narstie a burger actually.
Big Narstie: He's a liar (laughs) I told him he should follow my path and he will learn how to cook.
Would you rather wake up with a different face but the same gender or a different gender but the same face?
Big Narstie: I never want to take, I want to give (laughs) I never want to take, I just want to give! I want to lay down pipe like gas men.
Would you rather know when you're going to die or how you're going to die?
Big Narstie: I know how I'm going to die, on the toilet seat.
True Tiger: How!
Would you rather fight Mike Tyson or Mayweather?
Big Narstie: I would fight Mayweather, all I need to do is get him in a headlock
True Tiger: Yeah he's a light weight so definitely Mayweather.
Lastly, what do wood and alcohol have in common?
Big Narstie: When I drink alcohol I get wood – BASE! [laughs]Tagged in: Big Narstie & True Tiger, music, Professional chaos, rap

Mashed Potato with Spring Onions
Mashed potato created according to this recipe is a sure winner. It is delicious, succulent and that creamy smooth feel will leave you wanting more. And the spring onions, well it's that simple detail which makes it different.
|Preparation time
|35 min
|large Desiree potatoes, peeled, diced
|1 tsp
|Vegeta Gourment stock powder
|250 ml
|150 ml
|150 ml
|50 g
|bunch spring onions, sliced finely on an angle
|sea salt
- Boil the potatoes until tender and then allow to drain. Leave the colander sitting over the pot they just came out of as this will dry the potatoes further and leave you with a creamier mash.
- Meanwhile make some stock by mixing the Vegeta Gourmet stock with the water and bring to the boil, set aside.
- Heat the cream, milk and butter together, while you begin mashing the potatoes.
- Work the hot cream mixture and stock in equal parts into the mash until the desired consistency is reached.
Add spring onions and mix, check for seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
To achieve a much creamier mashed potato, work quickly, while everything is hot. Once the potato cools it is more likely to develop lumps. The same principal applies to using cold milk, cream or stock.

CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) - Five people are facing burglary charges for crimes in the St. Louis area.
KMOV-TV reports that the suspects are accused of targeting homes in both Missouri and Illinois near interstate highways so they could make quick getaways. Police say they go to the front door. If someone answered they would offer services such as grass-cutting. If not, they would allegedly break in and steal jewelry, electronic and other goods.
On Thursday, St. Louis County police interrupted a burglary and the suspects fled into Illinois, where they were stopped. Three of the four suspects were captured and one drove away, allegedly tossing stolen goods out the window. She was eventually caught, too. A fifth suspect was also linked to one of the burglaries, but is still being sought.

Moto ROKR EM Series
Motorola today made a more aggresive leap into music phones with three mid-range ROKR phones, all of which are based on Motorola's more recent Linux-based operating system. The EM30 is based closely on the same dynamic interface as the ROKR E8 and illuminates different buttons depending on the context, swapping in media controls to make navigation easier but without the expense of a touchscreen. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack, native integration with Windows Media Player 11 for those not using other operating systems, and microSDHC card support for storage of 8GB or more.
A 2-megapixel camera and FM radio will also come with the EM30 when it ships; it should be available very soon for Taiwan but supports quad-band GSM calls and EDGE data, with a launch in North America and other areas expected later in the summer.
Two more economic phones accompany the EM30. The EM28 clamshell and EM25 slider scale back to a 1.3-megapixel camera and a maximum 2GB of microSD storage and also drop WMA audio support. Both still keep a 3.5mm headphone jack, AAC/MP3 support, and an FM radio, while the EM28 has an external LCD. The EM28 and EM25 are limited to tri-band and dual-band GSM/EDGE respectively but will each come with the necessary 850MHz support for North America, pointing to a release in the area when they ship later in the summer.

Lenten fish fries draw big crowds
Meatless Fridays turn into annual tradition
COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) - The paczki and Mardi Gras beads of Fat Tuesday are out of sight. The ashes are fading from the foreheads of faithful Christians.
The next sure sign of the sacred Christian season of Lent is upon us; the traditional Friday Fish Fry.
For centuries, Christians have gone meatless on Fridays as a sign of denial during this season of penitence. In communities across the country, the Friday fish dinner has developed into an event bringing families and friends together.
One of Oakland County's longest continually running Friday fish fries takes place at the Multi-Lakes Conservation Association in Commerce Township.
For over 60 years, Association members have been frying up fish on Fridays, the event becoming so popular that the dinners are now held weekly, year round.
"Every Friday we see families, 3 and 4 generations, gathered at our tables eating together," says Russ Devriendt, MLCA President. "What a great way to get together with family and friends and share an economical meal."
The All-You-Can-Eat Fish Fry at Multi-Lakes is held every Friday evening from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Association's large hall.
Fried and baked fish, as well as broasted chicken is served along with French fries, baked potatoes, a salad bar and all the trimmings.
Tickets are: $8 for adults (50-cent discount for seniors), $5.50 for children 5 – 12.
The Multi-Lakes Conservation Association is located at 3860 Newton Road, in Commerce Township.
For more information, you can call 248 363-7126.

The Snooks, 3 and 4
A five-part (ten-verse) series dedicated to Keepa'ninny Mark B.
The Snooks
By Olive W. Burt
Do Snooks think their mistakes are fun?
Is that why they write, "haven't none,"
"He doesn't know nothing," and, oh, my hat!
"I didn't go neither," just think of that!
Real children think, "N-apostrophe-T
Is quite enough of no for me!"
Even Snooks' friends heave a sigh
When this phrase strikes an ear or eye,
"I hope I'm doing this alright" –
Was ever a more dismal sight?
Snooks quite forget that they're absurd;
All right has never been one word!
(The Instructor, 1938)

21st century skills
EDITOR: Joy Pullman ("Computer playtime," Letters, Wednesday) missed the mark completely. I'm not sure how much time she's spent recently in Sonoma County classrooms, but if she took some time to observe she would likely realize this: A great many students in economically disadvantaged areas have little to no access to technology at home. If not in school, where does she expect they will learn the skills necessary to take new Common Core computer-based assessments in 2015?
As a former K-6 computer lab instructor, I have seen firsthand that many students are alarmingly unprepared to take these tests. She may think it's a waste of time to teach mouse usage, dragging and dropping and keyboarding, but what she sees as distractions are critical real-world skills that students will need to take these forthcoming tests. These are skills required not only to succeed in elementary school but to also thrive in college and today's workforce.
To dismiss technology in schools so readily is to turn a blind eye to the reality of the 21st century classroom. Excellent teachers know how to integrate technology into the curriculum and make it count, and, as a 21st century teacher, that's my goal.

Ban plastic bags
EDITOR: The Sierra Club Sonoma Group and Sonoma County Conservation Action endorse the Sonoma County Waste Management Agency policy that would regulate single-use carryout bags from grocery and retail stores and eliminate the use of single-use plastic bags altogether ("Cities resisting plastic bag ban," Thursday).
The energy put into producing and recycling plastic bags damages beautiful Sonoma County and beyond. Many of these bags will not be recycled but will instead pollute our landscape, our creeks, our ocean and be detrimental to wildlife. Countywide action is needed to give a consistent message to grocers and retailers regarding how Sonoma County will regulate carryout bags and to prevent the environmental damage that disposable plastic bags cause.

Taste Like Cum
Running Time: 120 min.Est
Production Date: 2003-2005
The Pocketcomb PremiseI have said on more than one occasion that Red Light District�s �Cum Dumpsters� is most likely the best compilation title ever done. I also said that despite its greatness it one two major flaws in my estimation. Still so, that title is the hands down #1 reason I decided I wanted to write about porn.
Taste Like Cum is the new champ in my book. Like Cum Dumpsters it�s a compilation of Two years of nuts from Le Wood and it has a solid cast doing very bad things. Many of your favorite stars are in this title, but let me just raise a flag for these hot women that get overlooked by the average fan.
Gen Padova � Anal
Bella Maria Wolfe � Anal
Rosanna De La Vega � Anal
Ana Nova
Vicky Vette � Anal
Coco Pink
Scarlet O�Whora � Anal
Jennifer Luv
Krystal Summers
This title has more than 50 scenes and somewhere around sack lunches served. You have got to be wondering what those two flaws were and what Le Wood did to ease the pain of a single reviewer. What they did was simple and in my book added more depth to the title than any other single act.
The flaws were as follows. In Cum Dumpsters it was just nut after nut, matter of fact in some cases you could blink and miss the scene. Also, unless you knew the star you were most like never going to find out since they never gave credit to the female talent.
This title was hotter than a Mickey D�s apple pie and is guaranteed to leave you just as sticky. I�m going on record in calling this a masterpiece and throwing the gauntlet back to the industry by saying you want to top this, you�re gonna have to attempt to capture the heat and tell me the title of the movie that the scene hails from. That�s if you are interested in me purchasing a small piece of your catalog.
