NUTRITIONWith the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.

Dave Grohl rocks surprise Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary appearance
Rock star Dave Grohl, of Foo Fighters and Nirvana fame, made a surprise appearance with cover band Chevy Metal (featuring Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins) during the band's set for the Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary Celebration. Journal Sentinel photo by Rick Wood.
Nothing kickstarts a party like a suprise superstar guest.
When self-proclaimed "'70s dirt rock cover band" Chevy Metal walked onto the BMO Harris Pavilion stage on the Summerfest grounds early Thursday evening for the Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary Celebration, Dave Grohl, A-list rock star frontman for Foo Fighters (not to mention that little band he played in, Nirvana), casually walked up with the trio, electric guitar in hand, to the sound of ecstatic cheers and at least one scream of "Awesome!"
Why was Grohl there? He joked it was because Chevy Metal needed someone who liked to talk a lot between songs.
The real reason, of course, is because Metal drummer and vocalist, Taylor Hawkins, is Foo Fighters drummer. That, and the fact that Dave Grohl, maybe more than any rock star playing today, really, really, really loves to play live.
You could see it in all the head-banging, his electrifying huddles with Hawkins and guitarist Mick Murphy, and the endless "ooooohhh yeahhhh" faces during the set, which included songs like Van Halen's "Panama" and the Rolling Stones' "Miss You."
But Grohl was classy enough not to let his star power or chops dominate the show. Bassist Wiley Hodgen handled the admittedly muddled vocals, while Murphy dominated the guitar parts with his own gratiutious gestures and awesome shredding, and Hawkins did what he does during the Foo sets - clench his teeth and let his arms rip.
And by the way, Grohl wasn't the only well-known rocker on stage. Hiding off to the side, barely noticeable amidst all the showmanship, Joan Jett watched with admiration.

Q&A with Dr. R
Dr. Risk Answers Your Eyecare Questions
When I swim underwater wearing a face mask, I see a bunch of "floaties" in my eyes. Why?
Floaties is simply cells in the internal fluid in you eye. You see these easily on blank screens, like a clear blue sky or a blank chalkboard and I guess underwater too. As long as you see less than 10 with no accompanying flashes of light like a strobe like, then they are of no concern. If you see more than 10 or are getting bigger and you see flashes too, then you need to seek care immediately as your retina may be damaged and there is the risk of blindness.

United States Patent Int. Cl. Cc 9/00 U.S. CI. 7128 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Tenacious coatings of fertilizer supplements are applied to granular high analysis fertilizers, by adding, in order, minor amounts of mineral oil and of aqueous calcium lignosulfonate and then substantial amounts of fertilizer supplements, maintaining the granules in motion during and after each addition until the added material uniformly coats the granules.
This invention relates to coated high analysis fertilizer granules and to a process for their production. More particularly, it relates to tenacious coatings of fertilizer supplements on granules of high analysis fertilizers.
Granular mixed high analysis fertilizers are commercially available ammonium phosphates, ammonium sulfate, urea and mixtures thereof, with or without potassium salts, particularly potassium chloride. Analyses of these fertilizer materials is commonly expressed as the content of N, P 0 K 0 and referred to as -N-P-K. Examples of commercial granular high analysis fertilizers include 6-24-24, 11-48-0, 13-13-13, 16-16-16, 18-46-0 and -10-10. Commercial urea similarly is 46-0-0. All of these materials are sized to pass 6 mesh and to be substantially all retained on mesh U.S. Standard screens. These materials are referred to in this specification and claims as high analysis fertilizers.
Fertilizer supplements are desirably provided for special purposes which can be accomplished by one application to the soil by combining the supplement with the fertilizer. It is especially advantageous to combine with high analysis fertilizers one or more fertilizer supplements selected from the group consisting of sulfur, micronutricuts and pesticides. However, fertilizer supplements are finely divided materials and difficulties arise in combining these supplements with the granules to provide products which are of uniform composition and which remain of uniform composition in handling, shipping and use.
Elemental sulfur is commonly employed in mixtures with fertilizers especially for use in western United States where soils are frequently deficient in this plant nutrient. Sulfur also serves as a fungicide, soil conditioner, neutralizes alkalinity and solubilizes other nutrients. Sulfur applied as a coating on fertilizer particles reduces their caking tendency and it reduces the rate of release of very soluble fertilizers, for example, urea, to the soil. In this way, more of these soluble materials are absorbed and utilized by the crop.
Micronutrient compounds are also fertilizer supplements advantageously coated on granular fertilizers. The micronutrient elements are usually considered to be iron, manganese, molybdenum, boron, copper, zinc and chlorine. These elements are usually supplied as salts or oxides containing the elements in the cations or anions. Suitable salts are, for example, sulfates, nitrates, chlorides, molybdates or borates. Zinc is frequently supplied as the oxide. I
Pesticides are also fertilizer supplements which are advantageously incorporated with granular fertilizers. They serve to control fungi, nematodes, insects and other pests with the application of granular fertilizers to feed the crops. Examples of suitable pesticides includes penta- 3,580,715 Patented May 25, 1971 chloronitrobenzene, l-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate, zinc ethylene bisdithiocarbamate, phosphate and thiophosphate esters, e.g., 0,0-dimethyl S-(1,2-dicarbethoxyethyl) phosphorodithioate among others.
The fertilizer supplements are generally available in finely divided form or are advantageously finely ground so that most passes 200 mesh U.S. Standard screens. The preparation of satisfactory coatings of fertilizer supplements on granular fertilizer compositions must overcome the difiiculty that the powdered supplements do not adhere tightly to fertilizer particles. The supplements, simply blended with the fertilizer particles, tend to separate and settle in spite of thorough mixing. Separation and settling are aggravated by shipping and handling.
Various binders are known to the art to improve the adherence of finely divided supplements to granular fertilizers. U.S. Patent No. 3,295,950 shows oils and waxes, No. 3,313,613 shows urea-formaldehyde resins, No. 3,313,615 shows gilsonite and No. 3,353,949 shows sugars and alkali metal lignosulfonates as binders. U.S. Patent 3,100,698 describes melt-blending of sulfur and urea. However, this requires specialized equipment and greater costs.
However, there is still a need in the art for an improved method of coating granular fertilizers with fertilizer supplements to provide coated fertilizers which are uniformly coated, free-flowing, stable in storage and use and which provide immediate availability of the supplements for leaching by the soil while still retarding the dissolution and loss of soluble fertilizer components.
According to this invention, novel compositions comprising granular fertilizers having a tightly adherent coating of fertilizer supplement are prepared by:
(l) Maintaining the granules in motion while adding from 0.5 to 5% by weight, based on the total of fertilizer and supplement, of mineral oil of lubricating viscosity and maintaining said motion until said oil uniformly coats said granules;
(2) Adding aqueous calcium lignosulfonate solution containing from 20 to 70% of calcium lignosulfonate solids to provide from 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the total of fertilizer and supplement of said calcium lignosul-fonate solids and maintaining said motion until said lignosulfonate uniformly coats said particles; and
(3) Adding from 1 to 20% by weight, based on the total of said fertilizer and supplement, of fertilizer supplement passing 200 mesh U.S. Standard screens and maintaining said motion until said supplement uniformly coats said particles.
In the process of this invention, the order of addition of the particular materials is critical to successful accomplishment. When the process is practiced using the materials specified, outstanding products are obtained. When the lignosulfonate is added prior to the oil, the sticky, viscous lignosulfonate is substantially unspreadable and the particles agglomerate in large aggregates. The particles are not uniformly coated and the resulting bald spots cause serious caking in storage. For this reason, addition of the oil prior to the calcium lignosulfonate is necessary to obtain uniform spreading of the lignosulfonate and to produce a uniform coating ofsupplement. Omission of the oil fails to achieve the products of the process of this invention. Oil alone as binder is unsatisfactory. The oil gradually transfers from the finely divided supplement and penetrates the granules of fertilizer, loosening the supplement particles which then separate and segregate from the larger granules during handling. Such loosening does not occur using both oil and calcium lignosulfonate according to the present invention. Addition of the lignosulfonate to a preformed dry mixture of supplement and granules of fertilizer similarly results in the formation of unmanageable lumps and non-uniform coat- 3 ing of the granules. The alkali metal or ammonium lignosulfonates are not equivalents of the calcium lignosulfonate used in this invention and do not have the binding ability of the calcium lignosulfonate to produce uniformly coated particles.
Practice of the process of this invention as described results in substantially complete adherence of the supplement to the fertilizer granules without loss and without the necessity of separating the coated product from nonadherent particles. The fertilizer granules are uniformly coated without any bald spots and the coating has outstanding resistance to attrition and separation from the fertilizer granules during normal or even unusual handling and/or shipment. In storage, the coated granules are substantially non-caking, even under extended storage at elevated temperatures under extreme pressures due to high stacking of bags.
The process of this invention is carried out at ambient temperatures and no heating or cooling is required. Mechanical agitation tends to add minor amounts of heat to the compositions but this is negligible and is not an essential part of the invention.
The products of this invention when distributed on the soil provide the fertilizing benefit of their N-P-K content together with acidification of the soil when sulfur is the supplement, providing necessary micronutrients when they are incorporated and pesticidal action when the supplement is a pesticide in whole or in part.
Supplements suitable for use in the process of this invention must be fine particles passing 200 mesh US. Standard screens. For most advantageous results, the supplements are even finer. Cloud brand sulfur, which is commercially available and has 95% or more passing 325 mesh, is particularly suitable. The micronutrients are generally available in finely divided form. They are advantageously incorporated with sulfur or woth pesticides in the coating formed according to this invention. They are added at the time the sulfur or pesticide is added or they are suitably mixed with the sulfur before adding.
The amount of supplement is suitably from 1 to 20% of the total composition. Sulfur alone suitably forms the coating in these amounts. Micronutrients and pesticides are preferably used in lesser amounts from about 0.1 to of the compositions.
Mineral oil of lubricating viscosity in the present specification and claims means oils having a viscosity from about 400 to 500 S.S.U. at 100 F. and include, for example, No. 2 diesel fuel oil, light and medium viscosity lubricating oils, neutral oils and used motor oils. Used motor oil is available cheaply in large quantities and is especially advantageous. Its use helps to ameliorate a disposal problem. The amount of oil, based on the total of fertilizer and sulfur is suitably from about 0.5 to 5%. Less than 0.5% may be insufiicient to coat the granules and more than 5% is unnecessary and may strike through paper bags in which the product is stored.
The calcium lignosulfonate used in the process of this invention is a by-product of the lime process of wood pulping and is more particularly described as Water-soluble, anionic, surface-active derivatives of lignin containing wood sugar derivatives. Norlig 41 is one such commercial product. Also available commercially are alkali metal and ammonium lignosulfonates but these are distinctly inferior to calcium lignosulfonate in binding ability and are not equivalent in the process of this invention. The calcium lignosulfonate is used in the form of aqueous solutions containing from about to 70% of calcium lignosulfonate. Commercial products usually contain 50%, 55%, or 60% solids. According to the process to the process of this invention, theaqueous calcium lignosulfonate is added to the mixture of oil and fertilizer particles in amounts sufficient to provide from 0.1 to 5% of calcium lignosulfonate solids based on the total of fertilizer and supplement. Less than 0.1% may be insufiicient for complete adherence of larger amounts of sulfur and more than 5% is unnecessary and may result in a somewhat sticky, less desirable product. 1
EXAMPLE I Twenty-five pounds of urea prills were coated with 10% sulfur. The prills were tumbled in a cement mixer while adding 1%, based on the sulfur and urea of used motor oil. After tumbling for 1 /2 minutes, 1% of a 50% aqueous calcium lignosulfonate was added and tumbling was continued for one minute. Ten percent of Cloud sulfur, 98% passing 325 mesh, was added with additional tumbling for two minutes. All of the sulfur adhered to the prills and on screening less than 1% of the sulfur was shaken from the prills. Applied to the soil at rates of 200 and 400 pounds per acre, these coated prills fertilized crops of cotton, corn, wheat and soybeans and served to acidify the soil.
Repeating Example I using sodium lignosulfonate or ammonium lignosulfonate for the calcium lignosulfonate, the coating was uneven and mottled with bare spots.
Repeating Example I omitting the oil, the prills agglomerated badly, were incompletely coated and caked badly.
When the procedure of Example 1 was varied by omitting the oil and by mixing the sulfur with the prills, then adding sodium lignosulfonate, mottled prills with a high proportion of bare spots were produced and they caked badly.
EXAMPLE II A larger batch of sulfur coated urea prills was prepared by the procedure described in Example I using the quantities:
Pounds Urea prills 1760 Used motor oil 20 Calcium lignosulfonate (50%) 20 Cloud sulfur 200 Total 2000 Pounds 6-24-24 1860 Used motor oil 20 Calcium lignosulfonate (50%) 20 Cloud sulfur 100 Total 2000 Substantially all of the sulfur was tightly adherent on the fertilizer particles and the product analyzed 5% S. Actual analysis for N-P-K 'was 5.622.322.3%. The product was substantially non-caking in storage.
EXAMPLE IV Granular Ammo-Phos, a commercial fertilizer mixture nominally analyzing 13-1313 (for nitrogen, P 0 and K 0) was coated with 15.5% of pentachloronitrobenzene by the procedure shown in Example 1, using the following percentages:
Percent 13-13-13 75.3 Used motor oil 3.0 Calcium lignosulfonate (50%) 1.0 Terraclor 75W 20.7
Total 100.0
The Terraclor 75W is a wettable powder containing 75% of pentachloronitrobenzene. All the Terraclor was tightly adherent on the fertilizer particles. Actual analysis for N-P-K was 9.89.8-9.8. The product was substantially noncaking in storage.
EXAMPLE V Granular Ammo-Phos, a commercial fertilizer mixture nominally analyzing 13-13-13 (for nitrogen, P and K 0) was coated with of pentachloronitrobenzene and 4% naphthyl N-methylcarbarnate by the procedure shown in Example I, using the following percentages:
Percent 13-13-13 77.7 Used motor oil 3.0 Calcium lignosulfonate (50%) 1.0 Terraclor 75W 13.3 Sevin 80W 5.0
Total 100.0
The Sevin 80W is a wettable powder containing 80% of l-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate. All the Terraclor and Sevin were tightly adherent on the fertilizer particles. Actual analysis for N-P-K was 10.110.110.1. The product was substantially non-caking in storage.
What is claimed is:
1. In a process for forming a tightly adherent coating of a fertilizer supplement on granules of high analysis fertilizer, the improvement of:
(1) Maintaining said granules in motion while adding from 0.5 to 5% by weight, based on the total of fertilizer and supplement, of mineral oil of lubricating viscosity and maintaining said motion until said oil uniformly coats said granules;
(2) Adding aqueous calcium lignosulfonate solution containing from 20 to 70% of calcium lignosulfonate solids to provide from 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the total of fertilizer and supplement of said calcium lignosulfonate solids and maintaining said motion until said lignosulfonate uniformly coats said particles; and
(3) Adding from 1 to 20% by weight, based on the total of said fertilizer and supplement, of fertilizer supplement passing 200 mesh US. Standard screens and maintaining said motion until said supplement uniformly coats said particles.
2. Process as claimed in claim 1 in which said oil has a viscosity from about 400 to 500 S.S.U. at 100 F.
3. Process as claimed in claim 2 in which said oil is used motor oil.
4. Process as claimed in claim 1 in which said lignosulfonate solution contains about calcium lignosulfonate solids.
5. Process as claimed in claim 1 in which said supplement is sulfur and said sulfur passes 325 mesh US. Standard screens.
6. Process as claimed in claim 1 in which 95% of said granules pass 6 mesh and or more are retained on 20 mesh US. Standard screens.
7. Process as claimed in claim 5 in which said granules are urea prills.

Congressman Scott DesJarlais overwhelmed Democratic state Senator Eric Stewart in House District 4 in voting Tuesday after a bitter election.
It was DesJarlais 126,751 and Stewart 99,823.
The campaign featured a focus on a past DesJarlais divorce. Democrats, sensing a turnaround, had poured resources into the effort in the final days of the campaign.
The Tennessee Democratic Party went to court in Chattanooga on the final day of the campaign to try to draw out more sordid details of the divorce 14 years ago.
Stewart won only Sequatchie, Van Buren and Warren counties.
DesJarlais piled up almost a 7,000-vote advantage in Bradley County.
Rep. DesJarlais said, "For the second election in a row, my opponents and the liberal media have tried to ignore the problems facing our nation and instead concentrate solely on a 14-year-old divorce.
"Last night's election results clearly show that Tennesseans want leaders in Washington who are focused on providing solutions that will ensure a brighter future for our country.
"When I first ran for Congress I promised that I would go to Washington and fight to reduce the size of government, end the deficit spending and repeal ObamaCare. I believe that I have kept these promises and I look forward to using this term to build upon the many successes already achieved by House Republicans.
"I want to thank the voters of Tennessee's Fourth District for once again giving me the honor of representing them in Congress. I also want to thank my family for their steadfast love and support."
Eric Stewart said, "The voters have spoken. I'm proud of the campaign we ran. We talked about fighting for working families, keeping promises we made to our seniors about Medicare and Social Security, and giving our men and women in uniform the support they need and deserve. The fight for those things hasn't ended, even though my campaign for Congress has. Congress needs to stop fighting and start fixing. Working families depend on it."

Abbas engages in more empty talk. He did it before, but this does not stop him from a repeat performance. In order to have elections both in the West Bank and Gaza, an agreement by both governments (which don't recognize each other for perfectly legal reasons) must be held. It cannot be achieved in a unilateral step by one side. This is basic. And since Abbas does not intend to run for re-election, it should now be easier to achieve such an agreement. Instead of empty talk, Abbas should talk to Hamas, and both sides should agree on an appropriate time for elections. Indeed, I believe September might be a bit early. The UN is expected to recognize a Palestinian state this September/October. Holding national elections after that would make sense. And the time now should be spent on reconciliation and amending the constitution to the satisfaction of both sides. The present split shows that there is a need for amendments.

A year ago, on the day a gun control push in the Senate went down in flames, President Barack Obama stood with former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and parents of Newtown victims in the Rose Garden and declared, "This effort is not over."
A year ago, on the day a gun control push in the Senate went down in flames, President Barack Obama stood with former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and parents of Newtown victims in the Rose Garden and declared, "This effort is not over."
On Tuesday, a mournful president conceded he was ashamed as an American and terrified as a parent that the United States can't find it in its soul to put a stop to rampant shooting sprees. Barring a fundamental shift in public opinion, Obama said, "it will not change."
"My biggest frustration so far is the fact that this society has not been willing to take some basic steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who can do just unbelievable damage," Obama said.
No developed nation on earth would put up with mass shootings that happen now once a week and disappear from the news within a day, Obama said — no nation except America.

It was a moment of bleak reflection and weary resignation for Obama, who thought universal background checks were the least the country could do after a 20-year-old with a semi-automatic rifle shot his way into a Connecticut elementary school in 2012 and massacred 20 children.
"We should be ashamed of that," Obama said, hours after yet another deadly school shooting, this time in Oregon. "There's no place else like this."
The candid admission that gun control is all but a lost cause for his presidency marked a stark change in tone.
Despite shelving efforts to get Congress to vote on gun control, White House officials have always insisted they haven't abandoned the issue. In 2013, Obama issued 23 executive orders related to gun violence in an attempt to take whatever modest steps he could without requiring a congressional vote.
Obama said he respects gun rights and the American tradition embodied by the Second Amendment. But he blamed the National Rifle Association and well-financed gun manufacturers for making lawmakers "feel the heat" if they back tighter gun control.
"Most members of Congress — and to some degree this is bipartisan — are terrified of the NRA," Obama said, alluding to opposition from some Democrats that helped thwart the Senate effort.
He said the majority of Americans support gun control steps but don't feel passionately enough about it to punish lawmakers who disagree. "Until that happens, sadly, not that much is going to change."
Just over half of Americans think U.S. gun laws ought to be stricter, an Associated Press-GfK poll in December found, while just 15 percent think they should be less strict. Other polls have found support for background checks on all gun buyers exceeds 80 percent.
Obama's public meditation on gun violence came as he took questions in the State Dining Room from young Americans through the social media site Tumblr. Although the session was focused on student loan debt, a student asked Obama about gun violence and said he had known one of the victims of last month's rampage in Isla Vista, California, that killed six.
The president recalled seeing the father of one of those victims appear on television, pleading with society not to less his son's death be in vain.
"As a father myself I just — I couldn't understand the pain he must be going through and just the primal scream that he gave out," Obama said. "Why? Why aren't we doing something about this?"

Home Sweet Home
Briscoes and Bunnings – my two favourite places of late.
OPINION: Robbie and I took advantage of Queen's Birthday weekend and shopped our little hearts out. We spent about $1500 and there were no clothes, books or CDs (fun things) in sight. Our trolley was full of dust masks, tools, painting trays, rollers, disposable drop sheets, primer and a spirit level.
''We're meant to just be buying what we need for this weekend,'' I quipped. ''What do you need a spirit level for?''
Robbie's reply: ''Ummm, well when we put the magnetic knife rack up in the kitchen, you want it to be straight don't you?''
At this stage, we didn't even have knives, let alone a magnetic knife rack. I pointed this out but Robbie told me to stop being so stingy and let him have his beloved spirit level. He won that round.
Moving weekend is finally here and I am incredibly excited. Scared and overwhelmed yes, but excited nonetheless.
For the last 15 months we've been living in a fully furnished flat so we literally have nothing. Robbie's excitement for kitchen appliances, cutlery and plates far outstripped mine but I found buying wall primer a lot more fun than it should have been.
Our friends and family have taken pity on us and we've managed to score a fridge, some rugs and renovating tools as well as their free labour. A friendly Christchurch couple have even gifted us a washing machine, which is great.
I tried to make cleaning sound fun by creating a Facebook event to invite people to our working bee. We also chucked in the promise of pizza and beer at the end of the day and I noticed that a few of my friends were conveniently unavailable until around dinnertime. It looks like we'll be priming walls into the night because the more we can get done, the sooner the smell of a thousand cigarette butts will leave the house.
After buying all the gear we're going to need, as well as the basics to put inside our new home, our savings account is looking rather meagre. We still have to pay a builder and a plumber for the work that needs urgently doing in the kitchen so it just makes me nervous when I hear people say this: ''Make sure you've got savings for the problems that will just pop up in those first few weeks''. Oh dear....bring on pay day!
The next few weeks are going to be tough but once the house is liveable and we've acclimatised to paying a mortgage, I'm determined to treat myself a (long overdue) hair cut.
What did your savings account look like when you bought your first home?

Facebook recently announced the newest update to its network, and make no mistake, this is nothing short of a 180 degree shift from its previous position. By completely revamping its Branded Content Policy, Facebook not only opened a door back to influencers who migrated away from the platform following the previous change that limited their reach, but also gave marketers and influencers a clear message about what they need to do in order to flourish on the platform. Along with the policy change, Facebook will be introducing tools for brands and influencers to run successful campaigns together.

ISYS/Odyssey Development Inc. has announced the release of ISYS 6.02, which supports full-text searches of Macromedia Flash files. Based on the .swf file format, the multimedia development software is frequently used to develop visually rich Web sites and presentations, often including animated components. Available for its core solutions--ISYS:desktop, ISYS:web and ISYS:spider--ISYS 6.02 indexes text held in Flash files and also navigates through the files to index HTML or other document formats to which Flash files point. Additionally, ISYS can index and retrieve Flash files held on local file servers, or via ISYS:spider, which can capture and index Flash files found on external Web sites. While Flash technology can be used to produce graphics and design elements for Web sites, usability is often a casualty as information is locked away in graphical components. Many of the Web site search engines currently available search only standard Web file formats such as HTML; any key information contained in a Flash file is thus unavailable to users via the Web site search function. With the new ISYS 6.02 release, designers using Flash can now create graphically enhanced Web sites that also offer search capabilities. ISYS supports 125 file formats and 30 languages, and offers natural-language search capabilities, as well as query searching for advanced searches. The technology provides searching of structured, unstructured, and semi-structured information in a single query, and provides polymorphic functionality across diverse formats, including XML, HTML, Word, Flash, PDF, email, and OEM-defined formats.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Review
Rockstar and GTA brings the Eighties to your iOS and Android device thanks to this anniversary edition of Vice City
Arguably the most memorable game within the GTA franchise for the brilliant soundtrack, cool central characters and intricate cityscape, the launch of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on to mobile devices was always going to come with some fanfare. This was the game that managed to take the series a step up after the reinvention of open-world sandbox gaming that took place in GTA III, which is already available on iOS and Android devices.
To mark the tenth anniversary of the original release (yes, it really was that long ago) Rockstar has given its own take on the Eighties a polish and presented it back to the fans otherwise unchanged. All the main story missions are there, as well as the Rampage and Vigilante side missions, so you're never short of ways to make cash or just create some good old-fashioned carnage.
Much like GTA III, Rockstar has chosen not to tinker too much for what worked so well on console, so don't expect to see an array of mobile-only features, although there is a nice touch where you can upload music from your device's iTunes into the game and play it through the in-car radio, by selecting the Tape Deck option. Vice City also comes with iCloud saving, so if you start playing on your iPhone on the way home you can pick it up later on your iPad from the same spot. These are nice touches to help make for a better mobile experience, but are hardly central to your enjoyment of the game. That of course comes from the way it plays, and after some issues with the way GTA III handled there was hope that Rockstar would be able to make a better go of the touch controls this time around.
Sadly though this isn't quite the case, with the crude driving controls still a major issue, especially when it comes to having to try and avoid police tyre spikes because you're trying to flee the scene of a 'disagreement' with a gang member.
The trouble is that the steering controls are comprised of two buttons, left and right, and this feels really rudimentary when you're trying to dodge traffic and the cops. In fact, it's even noticeable and annoying when you're simply cruising the streets. This is in stark contrast to being on foot, where the left side of the screen supports a floating joystick, while swipes on the right-hand side can toy with the angle of the camera. This in itself is not without issue, with the game often jumping back to an automatic camera angle when you try to pinch-zoom or adjust to see what's behind you. On more than one occasion you might find yourself almost firing behind the camera, which is not great when trying to deal with the riot van-load of VCPD who have just shown up. It is worth noting that you can change the driving controls in the Settings section of the menu and have the same set-up as on foot, but be warned that there are still kinks to work through. Your next problem will be trying to target the right enemy once you've got your hands on some firepower. The game has an auto aiming system, which automatically locks-on to and fires at the nearest thing once you tap the fire button. This is okay in a police shoot-out on a deserted street, but should all hell break loose in the Malibu club you might find yourself shooting at civilians more than you are at the police or bad guys. This is an altered set-up to what we saw in GTA III where you had to hold down the shoot icon to trigger the targeting system. It's more automatic this time, but as we've just discussed, this isn't entirely a good thing.
There are still issues then to playing GTA on mobile devices, but even though you'll be frustrated by the turning circle of vehicles and the deserted nature of the streets when searching for interaction (people to beat-up and steal money from), there is still a lot to be excited about. The novelty of having Vice City in your pocket won't wear off for some time, and the Retina display polish that has been applied really does make a difference to the visual enjoyment of the game, even for the little impurities that were present in the original console title. That's part of the reason we love GTA – beyond the expansive world and mindless violence – the rough-around-the-edges character builds and entertaining voice acting. It's all still here, and now with that fantastic Eighties soundtrack to go with it.
Still carrying issues, but it's also still GTA, on your smartphone or tablet – and that is worth celebrating.
