Once in a while, failing to turn on the engine is a good thing. Check out the transmission lever of your ride, your car's transmission lever. It's possible that it's on drive mode, and it is good to know that the Suzuki Forenza neutral safety switch is performing what it does perfectly.
Built with Suzuki Forenza neutral safety switch, most cars are safeguarded from mishaps while the engine. Wired to the car's ECU, opening and closing the car's starter relay is the job of the neutral safety switch. Electrical power coming from the car battery will not be able to run to the starter when the gearstick is on drive position; the said switch stops it from doing so. When on neutral position, this is when the car is ready to run without putting yourself in danger. Don't put your safety on the line when you are aware that your Suzuki Forenza neutral safety switch is not working properly. Go online to look for a replacement switch that comes from Parts Train right away.

First check for diagnostic fault codes. The most common causes of a no-start after the engine has gone through a few minutes of "hot soak" is a failing camshaft position sensor or a crank shaft position sensor. They often become heat-sensitive and will work again after cooling down for about an hour.

Pattaya is a former fishing village that has grown into an action-packed beach destination. The curving coastline offers plenty to do with water sports, island tours, offbeat museums, fishing, golf and a famously vibrant nightlife, especially around South Pattaya. If you want to relax away from the crowd, Jomtien offers a more relaxed option.
Na Jomtien
For many this is the area of choice – just 15 minutes from Pattaya City, guests can party in moderation or opt out completely and use Pattaya as a relaxation destination. Visitors can make use of the beach, indulging in some lounging and long walks, savour the seafood meals under the night sky or take to the water for some pulsating fun. Upscale family resorts are abundant; and don't expect much in the way of nightlife bar activity, including girls. Few properties are directly situated on the beachfront due to the fact that the Beach Road blocks the road. This is the place to head for family orientated or couples' travel, away from the hype and neon lit beer-bars while still being close enough to access them with ease.

When I got off work, it was always funny sitting in the back of the theater, smiling as families made their way up the candy-stained aisle as the screen played the credits. I would say hello, arms around my stomach as these strangers silently judged me. A few of them talked back. Once a girl grinned and shook my hand before her embarrassed friends pulled her out.
Pushing myself up by the armrests, I hobbled to the double doors, downing my Slushie. Mhm. Popcorn.
"Shelly." I beamed, bearing my teeth as I pressed against the glass counter. I clicked my acrylic nails together, pink black white airbrushed patterns dancing wildly.
She glanced at me, pulling her thin ponytail through the strap of her baseball cap. Flattening the Harley Davidson Motorcycle enamel on the front, she sighed. Popping the bright yellow collar of the Coldwell Cineplex uniform polo shirt, she reached under the counter.
A carton brimming with popcorn smacked onto the glass, the red pinstripe design dizzying. "And?" I batted my eyes, hopeful.
"Dammit, you owe me." Shelly grumbled, snatching a ladle from a warm metal box of hot fudge and drizzled the chocolate over the fake butter and the popped corn.
"I am yours forever, you sexy beast, thank you." I took the carton and started eating.
She propped her elbows on the counter. "That's what I'm here for. Serving your cravings and every sugar high kid that comes in here."
"You can't ignore a calling, my darling."
"Look who's so wise. You're just lucky that you got off early."
I pressed the back of my hand to my forehead. "Oh, Lordy, they had to, since my poor pregnant self couldn't handle the thought of dealing tickets any longer. My stamina's too weak."
"You're only five months pregnant, you asshole." She pegged popcorn at me.
Wiping the chocolate off my sweatshirt with my finger, I shrugged. "Who gives a fuck."
"Obviously Mr. Nash." She pointed to the men's room door, where our boss leaned against the wall.
He stared at everyone over his thick mustache, picking out people that he didn't need for his business. We didn't get a lot of potheads for customers anymore ever since Nash chased a bunch of them with Pixie Sticks. He was reluctant to cut my hours, but when there was a sexual harassment suit a few years back, he's been trying to keep the record clean. Doesn't mean he'll actually let me have maternity leave, however.
Popcorn in hand, I left the counter for the arcade games stationed by the fire exit. Ms. Pacman, you are mine. The classic beeps gurgled from the speakers behind the screen, and the buttons and joystick were immensely sticky from years of use. I was flying through the seventh level when they came in.
"Look who it is!" Someone snickered.
The intermission between levels played and I turned my head. People from school. Girls squeezed into Barbie doll clothes, and boys streaked with light sunburn on their faces.
"Little Miss Sunshine." A boy stepped forward, smirking.
Rolling my eyes. "Get that damn look off of your face, Jeremy Kay."
He loomed over me, six feet tall. I placed my hands on my hips. I was five three and I couldn't give a crap.
"Why stand up for yourself now?" He chucked. "What's there to save?"
"Whatever it is, I don't want to lose it to a rat shit like you," I scoffed.
He clicked his tongue. "You have a little too much sass for a little girl, don't you think?" He knocked me against the Pacman machine.
My hand curled into a fist. "Son of a bitch." The punch landed square on his nose.
Cursing, he pushed me against the wall, his eyes watering. "I don't think you should be doing that, in your condition an' all."
"Get away from her!" Shelly hopped over the counter, a little delayed.
"Didn't your mama ever teach you anything?" Jeremy breathed heavily in my face.
"What the hell are you doing, young man?" Mr. Nash was flurrying behind Jeremy, mustache threatening.
Suddenly, a hand struck my face. "Look at me when I'm talking to you."
I spit in his face. "Motherfucker," I kicked him deep in the shin.
He stumbled backwards, and I made my way toward the door. Crowds of people were against the walls, looking on with fright tattooed on their faces. The rest of the group was yelling at Jeremy. In fact, everyone was yelling. It was so damn loud in the quiet little Cineplex. This was going to get around by Monday.
Too quickly did he grab my wrist.
"We're not done here," he growled.
A shotgun cocked. "I'd say you are."
Eddie stood at the door. Stony eyes pierced through his sunglasses. He could easily make a shot at Jeremy. And everyone knew he would too, if Jeremy hadn't let go.
"You're getting off easy, slut." He sauntered back to his friends.
Chucking the carton of popcorn at him, I yelled, "Just stay the hell away from me, man."
I took Eddie's arm and we went to his stalled pick-up truck out on the curb.
"Does your daddy know you stole his gun?" I pulled into the passenger seat.
"You're welcome."
Jeremy rapped against the car window. Nash was standing at the Cineplex door, arms crossed.
"Crazy bitch." Jeremy mouthed. As the truck pulled out, I very distinctly flipped him off and said a few choice words. Then it was just Eddie, me, and the silence.
Picking at my nails, I started humming a few bars of a Dixie Chicks song when Eddie started complaining.
"No, not them."
"Children lose their youth too soon-"
"Please, stop."
"Watching war made us immune-"
"Shut up, goddammit!"
"And I've got all the world to lose / But I just want to hold on to the / Easy silence that you make for me / It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me / And the peaceful quiet-"
"Okay, you're done!"
Laughing, "Fine. You sing then."
He glowered at me, his grip tightening on the steering wheel.
"A, B, C, D…" I started for him.
"The alphabet?"
I nodded. "Best sing-along song."
"Somehow I doubt that." Eddie started fiddling with the radio, flipping from static to static only to settle on Jimi.
"Oh, come on, Hendrix? How predictable."
But he was already gone, lip-synching to the lyrics.
"When will they make the rest of my life into a movie?" I put the DVD case of Juno back on the shelf.
"As soon as you make the call to Hollywood, gorgeous." Shelly flipped through the tabloids near the cash register.
Walking across the crusty Blockbuster's carpet, I sighed. "Then there's Where The Heart Is, and that just makes me cry my freaking eyes out…"
Shelly shook her head. "Can't forget that new show, Secret Life of the American Teenager."
"Ha," I snorted, picking through the Horror section, "Disney corporation trying to keep up with the newest trend, teen pregnancy. Epic failure."
"Gave them great ratings, it did."
"I bet." I picked through the classics left on a Saturday night.
The door opened, and a little wind chime jingled sweetly. "Find anything yet?" Eddie dug his hands into his pockets, fishing for money.
Flashing him a cover featuring Freddy Krueger, "How about some Nightmares on Elm Street?"
"Only if we can get some Molly Ringwald for next week." Shelly yelled from the candy aisle.
Definitely not. I shuffled into Comedy, skimming over the Adam Sandler's and the American Pie's.
"What about Mel?" Eddie picked up Mel Brook's Young Frankenstein.
At the check out, Shelly waited with king sized Crunch and Kit Kat bars. Shirley, the only employee, sat in the lotus position on the counter, deep in meditation. She had bangles and leather bands up to her elbows, and huge gold hoop earrings in her left ear. Eddie cleared his throat, and she fluttered her golden-tipped eyelashes and floated down to Earth. She smiled. "Hullo."
I grinned. "Hey Shirl."
"Winona! Oh, my little malekh-" she started muttering in Yiddish, with a thick Hungarian accent. Born and raised right here, never left, but she's famous for her accent. "Vos makhstu? How are you, my meidl?"
"Tonight's movie night, so I'm not doing too bad." I shrugged, sliding the DVD cases across the counter.
She nodded, flashing the bags of candy over the scanner. The radio playing over the PA system segued into a new song, and Shirley stopped in mid motion. "Guzkeit, it's my Bruce."
Bruce Springsteen serenaded her, inviting her to Mary's place to have a party. The chorus chanted to let it rain and Shirley's eyes began to sparkle.
"When I was following his tour," she remembered throatily, "he had a show at a big stadium, very crowded, very eng. He sang this song, my favorite lid, and the sky broke apart into a downpour. It showered over all the people, dancing in the rain, lord, it was beautiful. Sheyn, like a church."
Eddie smirked. "Vi romantish." How romantic.
She chuckled, and bagged the DVDs. "Oh, listen to me, going on about my Bruce. I'm sorry, my bekl, my kinderlekh, let me ring this up for you."
"Thanks, Shirley." Eddie leaned over and gave Shirley a peck on the cheek.
"You never call me aunt anymore. I never hear Mume Shirl anymore." She scolded, pressing buttons on the register.
I slapped Eddie's arm. What a bad nephew.
"Oh, farkakt." Shirley cursed, punching the register's screen. Eddie placed crumbled bills by her and quietly took the plastic bag. Shirley grumbled, ripping a stained receipt from the printer. "I hate this fucking thing, piece of tsebrokhn kak."
Eddie ushered us to the doors. "I'll see you at home, Shirley."
Shirley sighed. "Vos nor…"

Lauren Hodge, of York Township, won a $25,000 scholarship and other prizes for her project "Decreasing Carcinogens." She celebrated her 14th birthday Sunday, while in California for the fair.
Lauren's project looked at the effect of using different marinades -- lemon juice and soy sauce, among them -- on the level of potentially harmful carcinogens in grilled chicken. Earlier this year, her project won her the grand champion title at the Dallastown Area High School Science and Engineering Fair.
She put her project online to enter the Google fair. More than 7,500 projects were submitted from around the world, according to Google.
In April, Lauren found out she was one of 60 semifinalists. In May, she learned she was one of 15 finalists and would be flown to Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.
"I really didn't expect it," she said Thursday.
While at Google headquarters over this past weekend, Lauren was able to meet the other finalists. They did a weather balloon project, sending one with Android phones 100,000 feet into the air, saw the Google campus, and competed in a Lego competition, among other activities.
By the time judging rolled around, it didn't feel like the students were competing anymore, she said. One of them was just going to get lucky and win.
Lauren, who will be a junior next year, said she was a little nervous about the judging, but they mostly asked questions she'd anticipated, such as the real-life applications for her project.
Brenda Hodge, Lauren's mom, said that the judges said she stood out because of she was easy to talk to and explained her project well.
"It seemed like it was very natural for her," she said.
An awards ceremony was held Monday. When her name was called, her mom was so excited she never got around to snapping a photo, Lauren said.
"I was really surprised and excited," she said. "I did not expect it at all."
In addition to the scholarship, Lauren's win earned her a trophy made out of Legos, Google Chrome notebook computer, an Android phone, several Lego kits, and a yearlong virtual internship at Lego, among other prizes. National Geographic offered a future internship, and one college offered a free ride when she's finished with high school.
Which prize was the best?
"The Android's really awesome, so's the computer," Lauren said.
"The scholarship!" Brenda Hodge said.
Brenda Hodge said Google focused on letting the students get to know one another.
"They really treated the kids well," she said.
When not working on science fair projects, Lauren plays piano and violin and likes playing tennis, hiking, biking and working with Legos. She's not thinking about next year's project yet.
"I want to take a break," she said.
Winners of the 2011 Google Science Fair were named Monday. Lauren Hodge, of York Township, won the 13-14 age category.
More than 7,500 projects were submitted by 10,000 students from 90 countries, according to Google. The three top winners were girls.
"Our judges said the unifying elements of all three young women were their intellectual curiosity, their tenaciousness and their ambition to use science to find solutions to big problems," Google reported on its blog.
Learn more about the fair at www.google.com/events/sciencefair.
Lauren's project
Lauren Hodge's project "Decreasing Carcinogens" won the 13-14 age category at the Google Science Fair.
She looked at the effects of different marinades on the level of potentially harmful carcinogens in grilled chicken.
She found that some marinades reduced the level of carcinogens. Lemon juice was the best, she said, and soy sauce was the worst.

Cj's latest exhibition is at MMU Special Collections until 20th February 2009.
The exhibition has ceramics and photography by CJ O'Neill and Lee Garland at Wesley Community Furniture (read the City Life story).
Wesley meets Art Auction • 18th February
So the auction of the work in the wesley project is fast approaching! The date is set for Wednesday 18th February at 6pm in the Special Collections Gallery, with special guest auctioneer Eric Knowles from BBC Antiques Roadshow.
All proceeds from the sale of the work will go to the Wesley so not only will you be able to experience an auction environment, get hold of some new artwork and meet Eric Knowles, but you'll also be supporting the work of a wonderful charity in Manchester. I do hope you can make it.
To attend the auction you must pre register with Pat Kelly or telephone 0161 247 3096.
You can view or download the auction catalogue in advance, but the best way is to go and take a look at the show to see which pieces catch your eye! With guide prices starting at £5, and a wide range of ceramics and photography, there is definitely something for everyone – both in terms of taste and pocket!
Cj's work featured in Object Factory International Exhibition
Cj's work was shown in the prestigious 'Object Factory: The Art of Industrial Ceramics' at the Gardiner Museum, Toronto. This show was curated by Marek Cecula and was open from May 15th to September 7th 2008. Pieces that were selected for the show were the 'Scherzer' set, 'Flower' cut plate and 'The Heart' cut plate (see these products).
The exhibition explores the intersections of contemporary ceramic art, design and industrial production. It illustrates how collaboration between artists, designers and industrial manufacturers in recent years has stimulated tremendous new advances in ceramic materials, forms and styles.
The objects displayed represent some of the most innovative and exciting ceramics being produces around the world today, and include a mix of unique works of art and pieces created for mass production. More than 50 artists, designers and industrial manufacturers from 18 different countries and three continents are represented in this exhibition. Despite their diverse geographic origins, the makes of these objects share an interest in pushing the boundaries of traditional ceramic forms, functions and aesthetics. Ceramics is one of the oldest forms of material culture, but as this exhibition demonstrates, the genre is still as vital as both a medium of artistic expression and an integral component of everyday life.
Heading off to the fields of gold
I have been invited to return to Guldagergaard as artist in residence later this year which I am really looking forward to. I'll be developing some work with local charity shops in the town – check back for updates!
Cj was also part of the 'Slavery Now: 200 years' show earlier this year: view the pieces on flickr.
Four new publications featuring Cj
Fragiles: porcelain, glass and ceramics, editors R. Klanten, S. Ehmann, S. Grill, published by Gestalten
Ecological Design written by Manuela Roth, published by teNeues.
Handle With Care, on sale from Design Boom.
Cj's work is also included in the The Ceramics Design Course by Anthony Quinn – it's a fantastic resource and is available to buy now.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Horsemen and Kentucky's racetracks disagreed yesterday over potential changes in rules aimed at keeping horses bought in claiming races from quickly leaving the state.
The changes, which will be reviewed by legislators before taking effect, aim to increase the number of horses in thoroughbred races.
Under the changes, a horse claimed from a race in Kentucky couldn't run out of state for either 60 days after the claim or 30 days after the end of the meet where the horse was claimed, whichever is shorter. ...

Holly Squelch said goodbye to Big Brother this summer, after working on the show for the past three years.
Holly has worked on the Live Team, on subsidiary show 'Big Brother's Little Brother' and on the 'Reality Team' operating cameras hidden behind 'mirrors' made of one-way glass.
Holly is extremely enthusiastic about her experiences on Big Brother. This year she worked almost every day from Launch to the wrap, but despite the hard work, she still describes it as an 'amazing experience', recalling the night when a storm flooded the BB House.
"The storm made the roof collapse and rain poured into the house and the camera-runs. We had to save the equipment and evacuate the Housemates, which was actually very funny. We all thought we were going to get home early but they called in industrial vacuums, fixed the roof, lights & hotheads in a matter of hours and had us all back in the house filming by midnight."
In summary, she says "I have met amazing people over the years, and done some amazing things that I would never have got to do in any other industry".

Dear Dr. Roach: I have been diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism. I have not seen this discussed before. My doctor suggests surgery. Is there any other treatment, and what kind of surgeon is recommended? Can it be done in our small local hospital by a local surgeon? -- P.W.
Dr. Roach: Hyperparathyroidism is most often caused by overactivity of one of the four parathyroid glands (so called because they sit around the thyroid gland in the neck). Parathyroid hormone is essential for calcium metabolism and for bone health. Symptoms of excess parathyroid hormone include kidney stones, abdominal pain and depression. In severe cases, bone pain and weakness can occur, but this is rare now, since most people are diagnosed because of high calcium levels found during routine blood testing.
Treatment can be accomplished with surgery or medications. Anyone with symptoms is a candidate for surgery. For people with no symptoms, those who are younger than 50, with very high calcium levels, loss of kidney function or severe bone loss probably should have surgery.
The surgery can damage one of the nerves to the vocal cords, even in the best hands. For that reason, I recommend getting the most experienced surgeon around.
Dear Dr. Roach: Can you suggest an herb or medication for treating tinnitus? -- J.G.
Dr. Roach: Tinnitus is the sensation of sound when there isn't any. For many people, it's a high-pitched whine, but it may sound different to different people.
No medication or herb has been proven to be helpful for tinnitus. In my experience, sound therapy - the use of white noise - is an effective treatment. The American Tinnitus Association has a great website (www.ata.org) with information and support groups.

5 Tips For Having Self-Control Over Your Eating Habits
What happens when food is more than food? What if food is your medicine or what helps you cope with life? Tantalizing meals and treats can take us on refreshing trips down memory lane or just away from reality. This can feel like a blessing or a curse. While food may comfort us in the moment, be it because of boredom, depression, excitement, or loneliness, we are often just distracted from the larger issue at hand. Some people lose all sense of control when it comes to the intoxicating aromas and tastes creeping around kitchen corners or out of fast food bags. In reality, there are fine lines between the occasional cheat meal, emotional eating or an eating disorder. You may be concerned about the possibility of having a serious issue that could affect your health via overeating, the effects of being overweight or binge eating and purging. Let me give you some information to start you on your journey to self control.
Why Do You Eat?
Remember back in school, teachers always taught students to identify the root of the issue before beginning to work on it. The same is true for matters of the subconscious. You know you like food, who doesn't? But- what's going on under the surface? If you took an honest assessment of your past, can you pinpoint the moment when overindulging and self medicating with food first started to "make sense"?
Identifying the "Big Why" may come easily to some. Others may have to do a bit more soul searching to reveal their dark obstacles. Keeping a journal about your eating or speaking with a nutritionist can really help you determine what is normal eating and where you are eating for a non-hunger reason. Sexual abuse, past relationships, violence you've experienced, rejection, depression and mental illness are all serious issues that can contribute to eating habits. Therapy (group or one on one) is a successful treatment option that allows patients to unlock the emotional blocks we develop as a means of protecting ourselves from unfavorable memories of the past. You can talk to your pastor or religious leader as well. Relaxed and unguarded, you and a trained professional can reveal what's been clinging to you and help you work through it. You could just be eating because it makes you feel better or takes the boredom away. Your "WHY" doesn't have to be tragic for it to be significant. It's just important that you know what the issue is before you try to stop having these habits.
New Coping Skills and Habits
After identifying the cause of your overeating, it's time to discover your "triggers". Does a certain topic make you uncomfortable every time it's discussed? What situation makes you so anxious you can't rest until you find food? Could you be your own trigger? Sometimes our own thoughts and feelings stress us more than the outside world. Whatever sets you off, the next step to taking back control is to create distractions. Maybe you have to much free time. Joining programs and groups in your community will help keep your mind busy. Finding a hobby or exploring your passions can also help. The key is to create new actions that you take instead of seeking out food. You also want to be proactive to keep yourself busy mentally so that there is something to counter your natural leaning toward food for comfort.
As you become more active, thoughts of overindulging will soon be in your past. You'll feel better about yourself, and you'll create an emotional outlet for that suppressed energy. Do something that makes you feel like you've made a difference. Mentor, volunteer, or create a program of your own. Take yourself out on a couple of dates or do something you've always wanted to do. Just remember, your new distraction has to feel good, so good that you won't need to comfort yourself with food.
Delayed Gratification
Delayed gratification is a concept that can improve every aspect of your life. In essence, it is the art of bypassing an immediate reward for a bigger and better reward in the long term. For instance, when you're ready to purchase your first home, downpayment funds in your savings account can be tempting. A trip to the Caribbean or a quick shopping spree may sound good for the moment, but what do you want more? Delayed gratification means bypassing momentary indulgences for the huge benefits of your ultimate goal.
In health, delayed gratification applies to the choices you make throughout the day. Second and third-helpings of food sound good for the moment, but what do you want more? What's more important- being happy right now or enjoy a long, healthy life? Having the cupcake today or losing 15 pounds over the next 3 months? You must learn to transfer from a mode of self-indulgence to a life of self-discipline with your dreams and goals in mind.

Katyusha Rocket
this wiki
The rocket launcher Katyusha is a weapon of artillery ( multiple rocket launcher ) developed and used by Red Army during WWII. It was dubbed at the time of " Stalin's Organ " by German troops (in German: Stalinorgel) In reference to the agent of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Josef Stalin. Katyusha was already the name given by the Red Army withdrawn from a famous song during the war, telling the story of a young Russian ( Katyuhsa, Russian diminutive for Catherine ) who took her boyfriend away by war.
The Katyusha is a military truck ( usually the ZIS-6) Originally equipped with a rocket launcher BM-8, BM-13 and BM-21. Compared to most common artillery equipment was considered fragile but with a very low cost manufacturing and high mobility .
Development historyEditIts development was considered top secret by the Soviet government, which drew particular attention to the design, training detachments for the exclusive operation of the Katyusha . The first time he went into combat was in July 1941 the city of Orsha in the current Belarus, Where a total of seven rocket launchers caused considerable casualties in the German forces.
Following the initial success, the command of war in the USSR led to the construction of new Katyushas and the creation of several regiments equipped with the launcher, aiming to support the movement of infantry. A total of 554 launchers were in service in late 1941, a total of eight regiments, 35 independent battalions and two batteries alone.
The rocketEditThe Katyusha rocket is formed by the party propellant that propels the rocket and the party or explosive warhead.
The rocket has a low accuracy and short range, being relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture, compared with other artifacts of the genre. Homemade, are used by Palestinian fighters against Israel, although not equal to the models used by the Soviets, who have seen improvements through the decades.
After the Second World War, rockets were used in various conflicts and wars, among others, in Korean War, Vietnam War, War in Afghanistan, Second Lebanon War (At Hizbollah) Iraq War and are currently being used by Taliban against Armed Forces of the United States of America and multinational troops and installations in Afghanistan.
More recently, it was observed using similar to the Katyusha launchers in conflicts involving Russia and Georgia in 2008.
The Katyusha was an artillery piece introduced by the Soviets from 1941 in various calibers. BM -8 launchers, rocket using M8, were placed in a wide variety of vehicles, from trailers pulled by motorcycles, trucks, tanks and even chassis river gunboats . The number of rails release varied depending on the vehicle, the WB -8- 12 with 12 rails, the BM -8- 24 with 24 tracks and so on, with models of 36, 40, 48 and 72 rails. The small size of the M -8 rockets made them ineffective against targets protected, however. Nevertheless, there have been over 2,400 launchers BM -8.
The BM -13 was the second weapon nicknamed Katyusha (small Catarina ), also known as the body of Stalin. Due to its larger size, was less versatile than the version of 82 mm but on the other hand, their firepower was much greater and the gun overall, more effective, and continued to be manufactured and used after the war. The system was introduced in 1930, and was kept under complete secret until the Soviet military, the batteries being handled by troops of the NKVD, and was an unpleasant surprise to the Germans. Were produced around 6800 launchers
BM-21 GradEdit
One of the most modern version of the Katyusha. Grad is the world's most widely used rocket artillery system.Its success in combat has led other countries to copy it or to develop similar systems.

There was a nice review Monday in the Las Vegas Business Press that, unfortunately, had one significant error. (I don't mean something I disagree with, I mean a factual mistake).
I wrote the reviewer thanking him for "the kind words about Bailout Nation" — but gently noted this small correction in the review regarding "Who is to blame."
Since I never heard back from him, I feel compelled to correct the record.
The reviewer wrote: "Ritholtz finds two main villains behind the current crisis: former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and former President George W. Bush."
I responded:
"While I was wholly unimpressed with President Bush during the crisis, I find many more people more deserving of blame than him. On page 232, I list two dozen players who are primarily at fault — and while Greenspan is at the top of the list, George W. Bush comes in somewhere around the middle (depending how you count ~10 or 15).
These more blameworthy folks are:
The Federal Reserve (monetary policy)
Senator Phil Gramm
Rating agencies
Mortgage originators and lending banks
The Federal Reserve again (as bank regulator)
Borrowers and home buyers
The five biggest Wall Street firms (Bear Stear ns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs) and their CEOs
In the book, I rated all of these players as more culpable George W. Bush.
If its individuals, rather than firms and titled positions (i.e., CEO), than the #2 man on the list (again page 232) has to be Senator Phil Gramm."
Other than that, its a good review . . .
Big bailouts a perversion of capitalism, author argues

How to Recycle Your Technology
- How to Recycle Your Technology
- Best Places to Recycle Tech
- Recycle with Manufacturers and Carriers
Recycle with Computer Manufacturers and Mobile Carriers
Computer Manufacturers
It never hurts to goose a company into caring. That's why there are programs like the Environmental Protection Agency's Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) Electronics Challenge. Best Buy and Staples are participants, as are vendors like Dell, LG, Samsung, and Sony. There's also an EPA page on basic information for consumer recycling.
Most vendors take their own stuff. Each has their own recycling/return programs in place, some working with services like e-Stewards, some not. You can find them for HP, Dell, Apple, Samsung, Sony, and Asus, to name just a few.
Mobile Carriers
Every one of the four major mobile phone service providers will take cell phones back, either to dispose of safely or for recycling. Better yet, many get refurbished for special use as 911 emergency phones for those in need, such as abuse victims or active duty military soldiers. Just remember to erase the data from your phone before you drop it off, and take out the phone's SIM card, too.
AT&T Reuse & Recycle
Take any phone, plus batteries and accessories and drop them at the nearest AT&T store. But first, see if you can trade it in for an AT&T Promotion Card toward your next purchase. You can get an appraisal of your device onlineand that includes not just phones, but also tablets and netbooks.
Sprint Re:cycle
Sprint offers to buy back some phones from existing customers and provides credit toward a new one. If that doesn't appeal, you can send it in as part of its Sprint Project Connect service, which recycles phones, batteries, and data cards from any carrier, in any condition, with the proceeds going to the 4NetSafety program for kids.
T-Mobile's Handset Recycling Program
Naturally, T-Mobile has a trade-in program, and you can get an estimate online anytime. It will also take any carrier's phone and accessories (plus tablets and netbooks) for recyclingit's a good idea to also donate the charger in store.
HopeLine from Verizon
Verizon wants to keep your business like all the rest, so it offers a trade-in program. Its HopeLine project is a little different, however. It puts recycled phones in the hands of victims of domestic violence. Anyone can drop phones, batteries, and accessories at the Verizon Wireless stores around the country. There's even a HopeLine app for iOS and Android to help with the recycling efforts.
If you'd rather not deal with the carriers, there's no lack of third-party services accepting old phones and more for trade in. Try Amazon, MobileKarma, Gazelle, or uSell; you can find others in our list of 10 Ways to De-Clutter and Sell Your Stuff Online.

Storm Warning
What is happening to the weather?
Forty-five people were killed last week when a devastating storm system plowed a path of destruction across the Southeast. Witnesses to tornado clusters in Alabama and North Carolina said it was like nothing they had ever seen before. North Carolina, which averages 19 tornados per year, saw what might have been 90 tornados in just a few days. At one time, it may have been called the storm of the century, but that term has lost its meaning. Storms of the century now seem to barrel across the country every few weeks. A CNN meteorologist described the latest storm as epic.
A blizzard paralyzes New York City. Washington, D.C. suffers through a "snowpocalypse" only to be buried again a few weeks later by what the media then termed "snowmaggedon." Florida freezes, rain pours down on Southern California and the north digs out of snow so frequently that people stopped trying to find clever names for it. When the snow melted, tornados destroyed an Iowa town followed by other tornados that destroyed lives across the south. What is happening to the weather? Are storm warnings to become a permanent fixture of the planet Earth?
The theories for why the weather seems so extreme run the gamut from simple to the lunatic fringe. Some weather observers say there is nothing unusual about heavy snow in the winter in the northeast or tornados in Iowa; and if the weather appears to be worse than normal, it is merely because our instant access to information on the web makes it seem worse. On the other end of the spectrum are those who believe a radio antenna in Alaska is causing not only extreme weather events, but also earthquakes and tsunamis. The antenna actually exists, by the way, as does the government project, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, also known as HAARP, an unclassified project studying the ionosphere for radio communications and surveillance purposes.
The truth, as usual, likely lies somewhere in between. The problem is that no one really knows with certainty—except for the fact that it is not likely to be the result of an antenna in Alaska. Is weather becoming more extreme? Yes and no, says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), arguably the world's foremost expert on weather and climate. It all depends upon where you are; and your perspective in time.
If anything can lay claim to the "butterfly effect," a belief that something as minute as the flapping of a butterfly's wings could create a chain of events that lead to much larger things, it is global weather. Faraway weather systems impact other systems that change others making for a stormy, hot, cold or beautiful day in the Tampa Bay area. Weather is dynamic and is in a constant state of flux — not only from day to day but also from century to century.
According to NOAA, there have been changes in global temperature extremes, including decreases in the number of unusually cold days nights and increases in the number of unusually warm days and nights. As part of that, growing seasons globally appear to be increasing. That said, however, NOAA has seen no significant trend in annualized global temperature extremes when looking over the years. However, it has noted a significant decrease in temperature extremes over the years. In other words, there have been no significant changes in extreme high temperature but there has been a noticeable decrease in how much the temperature may vary on any given day.
In some parts of the world, there is evidence of increasing droughts; in other parts of the world, including the United States, there is no evidence of that. There is, however, evidence of an increase in extreme precipitation events — and that has happened despite having no evidence that precipitation overall has increased globally. In fact, it may well have decreased.
By the same token, according to NOAA, extra-tropical cyclone activity appears to have increased in the northern hemisphere and decreased in the southern hemisphere. But that means little in Florida where the state hasn't been hit by a major storm in six years, and even less to Australians battered by category 5 cyclone Yasi in February. To people in those areas, it would seem the opposite of what NOAA is saying is true.
Basically weather is relevant to when and where you are and averages mean nothing when it comes to extreme weather events on any specific day, just as the 36.8-year-old median age in the United States means little to the newborn or to the centenarian. Looking out over centuries, however, any given "storm of the century" may not be all that great in comparison to an event that may have happened centuries before. Or maybe it is. Last week's storms weren't without precendence as similar and worse systems hit the southeast in 2008 and 1974. Yet for non-meteorologists, good or bad weather is determined through the very narrow lens of our lifetimes and locations.
That lens is very narrow when considering Milankovitch cycles, which are widely believed to have an impact on climate, including Earth's ice ages. Milankovitch cycles are a mathematical theory of variations in the earth's tilt and distance from the sun. The sun, of course, is the primary force behind the planet's climates. According to the theory, one full cycle occurs approximately every 26,000 years. But even that isn't constant due to variations caused by the planet's elliptical orbit that has a 21,000-year cycle along with variability of the earth's axis which has a 41,000-year cycle. In other words, if you don't like how the weather has been in your lifetime, just give it another 20 or 40 thousand years.
Unquestionably, the climate is changing just as it has since the dawn of time. Despite somehow becoming a political argument, there is also little question that the earth is warming. Satellite images of the earth's poles and glaciers certainly confirm both are melting. The question, of course, is whether that change is impacted by man or is simply a part of a long cycle beyond our comprehension. Overall, the earth's surface has warmed by an average of 0.74 degrees Celsius since the late 1800s. The rate of warming, however, has increased dramatically in the past 50 years. To add to the uncertainty, the rate of warming hasn't been uniform across the planet. Florida has actually cooled slightly over the past century while Minnesota has become warmer. That said, according to NOAA, seven of the eight warmest years on record have occurred since 2001 and all of the 10 warmest years on record have occurred since 1995.
Local weather, however, isn't so easily pigeonholed by global climatic changes. Next year's weather on any given day in any given place may well be influenced by the flapping of a butterfly's wings in a distant nation; but those wings haven't flapped yet. Even so, short-term local weather has increasingly become a more exact science. Meteorologists from the National Weather Service, including the NWS office in Ruskin, have dramatically increased the accuracy of short-terms forecasts, no doubt working to incorporate the ever-changing global climate. The strong storm systems passing through the Tampa Bay area over the past several weeks were all predicted, up to and including the strong winds, hail and tornados. By and large, what errors the National Weather Service does make are made on the side of caution.
The weather is changing; it has always been changing. The global climate is an abstract and complex system that is felt by everyone on Earth through the costs of heating and cooling homes and, more importantly, the cost of food needed to survive. Yet there is little that any one individual can do about the global climate.
Speaking of extreme weather, the beginning of hurricane season is just over a month away. Tampa hasn't been directly hit by a hurricane since 1921; but that doesn't mean the area is overdue, nor does it mean it is immune. Last week, the North Carolina State University Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences released a summary of their forecasts for the 2011 hurricane season. Their forecast included one to three hurricanes and three to five tropical cyclones developing in the Gulf of Mexico this year. They also forecast a 97 percent chance that at least one tropical cyclone will strike the Gulf Coast, including a 72 percent chance of a hurricane and a 45 percent chance of a major hurricane. In all, the forecast is predicting an active year with 13 to 16 named storms, exceeding the average of 9.6 named storms.
If the Tampa Bay area is hit by a hurricane this year, it will matter little whether or not the Milankovitch cycles played a role in it, nor will it matter that a hurricane hasn't hit the area in 90 years. Whether this hurricane season, like the weather in general, is worse than any other will depend upon your location — one person's catastrophe is another person's near miss. If you don't like it, just come back in 10,000 years to see if you like it better. In the absence of that, preparing for the worst and hoping for the best is something everyone can do about the weather today. Tomorrow, of course, it will be different.

Sam Peterson with Ace Neon hangs a sign for Golf Etc. on 41st Street on Friday. City officials and study groups have spent several years studying the 30-year-old sign ordinance and have recommended several changes. / Melissa Sue Gerrits / Argus Leader
Sign ordinance open house
WHEN: Today, 3:30 p.m.
WHERE: City Hall, commission room.
WHAT: Review and discuss proposed changes to the citys sign ordinance
Larger freestanding signs, more types of signs allowed, permits required for large banners and window signs, and making an appeal process available.
For more information, visit www.siouxfalls.org
Rules for signs
Political signs: These are OK under the current ordinance, as long as theyre in the front yard, not the boulevard area between the sidewalk and curb. Political signs can be up 60 days prior to and seven days after the election for which theyre intended.
Garage sale signs, Sioux Falls Catholic Schools signs, Parade of Homes signs: These are illegal now, but proposed changes include allowing miscellaneous signs in boulevards for restricted periods of time, with a contact person and number written on the sign for accountability.
The garage sale signs dotting Sioux Falls boulevards are illegal. So are the Parade of Homes signs, and the Sioux Falls Catholic Schools signs.
That doesnt stop people from putting them up and the city ordinance often is enforced only if someone lodges a complaint with the city, which happened recently with the school signs.
But after several years of study, the rules governing signs could change, along with many other aspects of the almost 30-year-old zoning ordinance. City officials and study groups have several recommended changes, including allowing miscellaneous signs, such as garage sales, in the boulevards for a certain amount of time. The proposed changes affect everything from Realtor signs to tinted windows at businesses.
Other changes include:
■ Allowing more free-standing signs.
■ Increasing the sizes of some signs.
■ Limiting the amount of window signs at businesses.
■ New requirements for banners.
An open house will be held today for people to learn more, view the final draft of the sign ordinance and share their thoughts. Changes still can be made to the draft, said Jeff Schmitt, the citys chief planning and zoning official.
Sign codes are only a small piece of the citys 1983 zoning ordinance which includes regulations for landscaping, parking and other essential rules for development and is being revamped to meet current standards.
Ultimately, the 271-page document will be voted on by the City Council. The public can go to open houses during the next few months, and councilors probably will vote in January, Schmitt said.
The sign study groups goal was to ensure signs are appropriately scaled and distributed and regulations are predictable, consistent and fair. Schmitt said proposed changes make much of the code more lenient and provide more options. The group met 16 times in the past two years, and four presentations were made to the City Councils Land Use Committee.
Rules for banners. window signs
Schmitt said one issue the group struggled with most was how to regulate banners and window signs. Theres not requirements now, so business owners can completely cover their windows.
Thats what Robert Wentz, owner of Booze Boys, does. He uses beer signs as a window tint, and has 100 percent of his windows at the 12th Street and Western Avenue location filled. It helps protect his bottles from sun damage.
But under the proposal, business owners could fill 50 only percent of the window. The first 25 percent wouldnt need a permit, but you would beyond that.
Its a fairness issue, Schmitt said. Im not trying to be nit-picky; Im trying to be fair to everybody.
Wentz, a member of the sign study group, said he would have to pay for something else to keep the sun out.
Window signs, to me, its a business prerogative, what you have in the windows, he said. We pay taxes, it should be up to us what we have on the inside, as long as it isnt profanity. Ill be frustrated with the new changes.
He favors allowing more free-standing signs, such as a Daktronics-style sign at his Cleveland Avenue location.
These types of changes make the proposed code vastly different, said Jessie Schmidt, a member of the sign group who also is on the City Planning Commission.
For a long time weve realized that sign standards need to be updated, Schmidt said. The reality is, all of that changes, just like with regular zoning, the way people shop or spend money or live today is different than it was 35 years ago.
Permits might be required for banners
Proposed changes for banners would require business owners to get a permit, which is not required now. Banners could be up to 100-square-feet and must be maintained.
Often its up to sign companies such as Ace Signs to know the sign ordinance details and explain them to clients.
Tim Axtman, a designer for Ace Signs, was part of the sign study group and pushed to make the ordinance less restrictive, especially in office zoning, to make it easier on business owners. The current ordinance calls for office signs such as at strip malls to be a maximum of six feet tall and 32-square-feet.
When you have an office building thats got 10 tenants, you just dont have room, it gives everybody about two or three square feet, which is ridiculous, Axtman said.
Changes would increase regulations to eight feet tall, 40 square feet. He also said signs serve as a big marketing tool. Golf Etc. opens this week at 3502A West 41st St., in the strip mall west of OGorman High School, and owner Jared Frank said he went with the maximum-sized sign allowed 16 feet on the building. The other sign had to fit the size already built into the strip mall marquee.
As a business owner, you always want it bigger, he said. But compared to others Ive seen, this is good. You need your name visible.
The new code would also allow miscellaneous boulevard signs, to be up three days before and two days after an event, for up to 21 days. Whoever puts the signs up would be accountable for removal, and a contact name and phone number would be required to be written on the sign.
Those types of signs are important for Realtors and for events such as the Parade of Homes, especially signs with directional arrows in newer areas of town, said Todd Anawski, government affairs director for the Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire. He said the signs are taken down after the event.
Theyre there to serve the public, to help them, said Anawski, a member of the sign study group who pushed for more flexibility for miscellaneous signs.
During a recent Land Use Committee presentation, Councilor Rex Rolfing said it seems signage across the country has gotten smaller, and it seems the proposed changes are expanding Sioux Falls size rules.
Schmitt said its likely everything could change in a few years if the community decides it doesnt like the changes.

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in San Diego last week against Tokyo Electric Power Co., which is owned by the Japanese government. Plaintiffs include the infant daughter of two of the sailors who was born seven months after the March 2011 disaster.
The sailors served on the San Diego-based aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, which was carrying out "Operation Tomadachi" ferrying food and water to citizens in the city of Sendai in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami.
The sailors claim the Japanese government repeatedly said there was no danger to the carrier crew "all the while lying through their teeth about the reactor meltdowns" so rescuers would "rush into an unsafe area."
The U.S. Navy, the suit said, relied on information from the Japanese government, which only belatedly admitted that radiation had leaked into the atmosphere from the damaged power plant.
An email seeking response from the utility's corporate office in Tokyo was not immediately returned.
The 37-page suit, which cites numerous reports about the Fukushima crisis and response, said that after discovering the truth of how much radiation they were exposed to, the sailors have undergone extensive medical testing and will be required to undergo periodic examination in the future.
They say they are at risk for developing cancer and a shorter life expectancy, and are undergoing considerable mental anguish as a result.
The sailors are suing for more than $100 million in damages.

Eva Russo is a strong woman who knows how to take care of her family. While she was raised within the reaches of her mob family, she tries to keep herself out of it as much as possible.
Dave "The Sheik" DeSantis has worked for Joe Russo for seventeen years. He figures it is time for him to get the respect and recognition he deserves and knows that is only going to happen one way.
While promoting her art on the gangster life, Eva's father Joe is brutally murdered. Devastated, but knowing who put the hit on her father, she immediately begins to plan for revenge and the security of knowing her fiancé will be safe. As her plans fall into place, other events begin to unfold, leading to a confrontation of betrayal and heartbreak. With the tension mounting, can Eva get the scenarios to go the way she is expecting, or will everything blow up in her face?
I have to say I found House Money to be quite an intriguing tale. I was confused by bits and pieces of the storyline as I began to read, however, it was made clear as I read further. Eva is the type of woman I would most definitely want in my corner; she is shown as a strong woman who will protect her family at any cost. The ending was beautifully done and left me stunned. Ms. DiPlacido writes with so many twists and turns that I could hardly catch my breath before I was being led down another tension filled adventure.

New Directions for a Cloudy Future: TR's Picks
Cloud computing is changing how businesses, consumers, and even armies store and use data. Technology Review looks at six ideas at the cutting edge.
Internet at 60 mph: The Evos concept vehicle, a plug-in hybrid from Ford, is billed as the first "cloud-connected car." Ford has patented ideas for wirelessly accessing data about a person's health or habits to customize their driving experience by altering motor dynamics or interior temperature. Ford believes the global vehicle fleet will go wireless. "Imagine one billion PCs not connected to the Internet. That is where cars are today," says K. Venkatesh Prasad, Ford's technical lead on the project.

Dell's final earnings report falls short of Wall Street estimates
updated 05:32 pm EDT, Thu May 16, 2013
Services, software driving company, hardware and consumer show heavy losses
Dell today announced fiscal 2014 first quarter results, with revenue of $14.1 billion, as the company grew revenue from Enterprise Solutions, Services and Software 12 percent year over year to $5.5 billion, or 8 percent growth, excluding the recent acquisition of Quest Software. The company earned $0.21 per share, not quite meeting Wall Street estimates.
"We made progress in building our enterprise solutions capabilities in the first quarter and are confident in our strategy to be the leading provider of end-to-end scalable solutions," said Brian Gladden, Dell chief financial officer. "In addition, we have taken actions to improve our competitive position in key areas of the business, especially in end-user computing, and it has affected profitability. We'll also continue to make important investments to support our strategy and drive long-term profitability."
Cash used in operations in the quarter was $39 million. On a trailing, 12-month basis, Dell has generated $3.4 billion in cash flow. Dell ended the quarter with $13.2 billion in cash and investments.
Enterprise Solutions Group revenue was $3.1 billion, a 10 percent increase. Operating income for the quarter was $136 million, a 71 percent increase. Dell server and networking revenue increased 16 percent as the company gained share in the calendar first quarter. Dell networking continued to deliver strong growth, with a 24 percent revenue increase, including a 46 percent growth in the company's Force10 business. Dell storage revenue declined 10 percent.
Dell Services revenue grew 2 percent to $2.1 billion driven by an 11 percent increase in revenue for infrastructure, cloud and security services. Support and deployment revenue increased 2 percent and applications and business process services declined 15 percent. Operating income was $370 million, a 10 percent increase.
Dell Software revenue was $295 million, resulting in an operating loss. Dell enhanced its software capabilities during the quarter, investing in additional sales capability and research and development.
End User Computing revenue was $8.9 billion in the quarter, a 9 percent decrease. Operating income for the quarter was $224 million, a 65 percent decrease. Dell desktop and thin-client revenue declined 2 percent, mobility revenue declined 16 percent, and software from third parties and peripherals revenue declined 6 percent.
Given the contentious effort to take the company private, Dell has refused to provide an outlook for the second quarter of its 2014 Fiscal Year. This public quarterly report may be Dell's last.

Dusty Baker's managerial days might not be over just yet.
The former Cubs manager was fired by the Reds earlier this month after Cincinnati was eliminated from the postseason. But, after Jim Leyland stepped down as Tigers manager on Monday, another Central Division job has caught Baker's eye, this time in the American League.
Baker told the Detroit Free Press' John Lowe that he's interested in managing the Tigers, a team that came two wins away from a second straight trip to the World Series before being eliminated by the Red Sox over the weekend.
"I've always respected (Tigers general manager) Dave Dombrowski and what Dave has accomplished," Baker told Lowe. "I have the ultimate respect and friendship for Jim Leyland. I'd be flattered and honored to be given such an opportunity."
[MORE: Jim Leyland on Ventura: "I think he's going to be a terrific manager"]
Lowe touches on the past relationship between Baker and Dombrowski before discussing Baker's resume as a potential candidate for the job in Detroit, specifically lauding Baker for his experience managing veteran, star-laden teams like the current Tigers roster.
While no link has been made between Baker and the Tigers by the team itself, a potential hiring of Baker would return the former Cubs manager to Chicago on a regular basis, as the Tigers visit the White Sox several times each season. After four seasons as Cubs skipper and six helming the Reds, fans worried that Chicago baseball wouldn't be the same without seeing Baker on a bench might not have to worry much longer.
And it could be good news for the White Sox. Baker's record against the South Siders in four years with the Cubs was just 11-13.

Bank Asya Drops to 4-Month Low as FinansInvest Cuts Rating
Asya Katilim Bankasi AS, a Turkish Islamic bank, fell the lowest level in almost four months as FinansInvest downgraded the stock on concern the bank's "problematic" loans will increase.
The shares dropped 3.5 percent to 1.64 liras at the close in Istanbul, the lowest since Jan. 23. The benchmark ISE National 100 Index sank 1.3 percent and the gauge for the banking industry slipped 2.9 percent.
Bank Asya's recommendation was cut to neutral from outperform and its 12-month price estimate was lowered to 2.20 liras from 2.31 liras at FinansInvest, the Istanbul-based brokerage of Finansbank AS, the Turkish lender owned by National Bank of Greece.
"Bank Asya continues to disappoint investors with its poor risk management," Aykut Saribiyik and Metin Kocas Ulutasli, analysts at FinansInvest in Istanbul, wrote in a report e-mailed to clients today. "The bank's problematic loan stock continues to grow."

The Castle of Illusion has fallen into Epic Mickey's "Wasteland," Dreamrift creative director Peter Ong explained to me during a meeting at E3. "Mickey's quest actually takes place in the Castle of Illusion in this game, but at the same time it's situated in Wasteland, so you'll see characters familiar to Epic Mickey and Wasteland such as Oswald being involved in Mickey's quest," Ong said.
However, the Castle has changed, as castles tend to do when video game series are named after them. Mizrabel is constantly casting illusions on the castle, justifying the alterations mandated by the game design. This is used to very cool effect: not only do parts of the castle resemble environments from other Disney media (like a Peter Pan-themed nautical level), you see the illusion begin to take hold as you navigate the castle. Rooms will be part castle, part ship, with "illusion" seeping in.
Dreamrift games tend to include interactivity between the top and bottom screens – like feeding your monster pal on the bottom screen of Monster Tale to power up his attacks on the top screen. Epic Mickey also uses the dual-screen design, to allow you to paint and thin objects in the environment. Certain objects will appear in outline form on the bottom screen, for you to paint (or apply thinner to, where appropriate). This is a minigame in which you have to trace precisely, in order to bring that object up on the top screen, thus creating a platform or other necessary item. You'll even unlock "sketches" that you keep in your inventory, in order to place (and draw) anywhere you want. In the demo, this was a Thwomp-like object bearing Pete's face.
You can get additional bonuses – and in general interact with the Disney world more – by fulfilling quests for the Disney characters you rescue, all of whom hang out in rooms in a "safe" area of the castle. For example, Rapunzel asked me for a comb, which I found by asking the Beast.
"When we first sit down to think of our new idea, we don't think, 'Oh, it's going to be a dual-screen-intensive game.'" Ong said. "But then as we talk through our ideas, there's always some new way to use the second screen that we can't not do. It's just an interesting question for us to explore." For Epic Mickey, the screen allows players to participate in the creation of Disney-style art, which seems like a good fit.

Former Techster Venus Lacy still stands as the school's all-time leader with a career average of 20 points per game and helped the team win the 1988 National Title.
- Filed Under
Venus Lacy is a huge fan of "Forrest Gump" because the early life of the hero in the 1994 Academy Award Best Picture so closely resembles her own.
Like Gump, played by Tom Hanks in the movie, Lacy had to wear leg braces as a child, but once they came off, both the movie character on the football field and Lacy on the Louisiana Tech basketball court blasted off to sports stardom.
Lacy will culminate a remarkable journey when the Class of 2014 is inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in Natchitoches this Saturday night. ...
