Oakmont stuns Lincoln on final play of Zebras' homecoming
LINCOLN - In a wild fourth quarter, the Oakmont Vikings stunned the Lincoln Fighting Zebras 44-43 with an unforgettable final play of the game Friday night.
On Monday, the highlight play was being shown on ESPN and found a home on Yahoo! Sports' home page and USA Today's high school sports page.
After the Zebras took a 43-36 lead in their homecoming game on Jordan Tayeh's 25-yard touchdown, the Vikings had a little more than a minute to tie the score.
As he did all game, Oakmont quarterback Taylor Laird led his offense down the field on the strength of his arm. With three completions, the Vikings trekked to the Zebras' 16-yard line.
With 2.2 seconds remaining, Laird lobbed a pass to the corner of the end zone and connected with receiver Namani Parker to pull within 43-42.
Oakmont's extra point would have sent the game into overtime, but head coach Tim Moore opted for a trick play that has rarely made its way into the game. Holding for kicker Joey Rasnack, Laird caught the snap and then stood and turned away from the oncoming rush. With his back to the defense, the quarterback flipped the ball behind his head and into the end zone.
The collective breath of the audience held for those quick moments between the release of the ball and the subsequent catch by junior Justin Holmes, who outjumped Lincoln defenders for the ball.
The successful two-point conversion attempt was designed to end the game so the Vikings wouldn't have to deal with the Zebras' run game in overtime.
"We knew we couldn't go to overtime against that offense," Moore said. "We practiced that play over and over again. … It works every time."
Laird propelled his squad with three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter. As for the gutsy two-point attempt, the quarterback had all the faith in his team.
"We've practiced it before," Laird said. "Justin Holmes, he catches anything."
On the other side of the field, the home team scattered in shock while some players remained on the field. Coaches searched for answers.
"Maybe it just wasn't in the cards for us tonight," Lincoln head coach Ken Lowe said. "I'm hoping it makes us stronger, but it's a definite blow for us."
If not for the miraculous finish, the story of the night was the performance of the Zebras' line and running backs. The Lincoln rushing attack was a match for any high-powered aerial assault. An example came with less than two minutes remaining in the game. The Zebras traveled 76 yards in one minute.
James Hubbard led the Zebras with 299 yards and three touchdowns and set the tone with a 78-yard scamper on the third play of the game.
Cameron Tatum, Eddie Cobleigh and Tayeh each scored behind the power of an offensive line that took control in the second half.

The included DVD was excellent, like being in one of Peter and Randy's classes. While I have my own well thumbed copy - please do include me in the drawing. I just took a first class workshop with Deb Munro and, if I win, I'd pass a copy onto one of the young up and comers from Deb's course.

I have been receiving and reading Vox Daily for close to a year. It has provided excellent information, links and encouragement that have helped in preparing for a career in this industry.
I have been building a small home studeo and have a target of making this a primary income for me.
The opportunity to read Randy and Peter's book would really help my in acheiving my goal.
Take care and please keep Vox Daily coming into my email box!!
Sounds great! Please count me in.
An up-to-date tome of real-life experience...I'm listening. With a more direct-on approach to voicing over and on its prospective industry, this specific, straight-to-the-point kind of information is really just what we need. Can't wait to get started working. But first, I sponge in as much well-worth knowledge I can to make the most of every recording and every audition down to the very business transaction. Thank you again for this well of opportunity.
JALPosted by:
Count me in! :-)Posted by:
Okay, you got me. I'm a long-time fan of the site, and now a first-time commenter. What can I say? The prize is too tempting to ignore! I always enjoy voice-over books that feature personal stories and anecdotes -- so much more satisfying than straight instructional stuff. But 'Voice For Hire' sounds like it's got both. Can't wait to read it!
Alison MatthewsPosted by:
It's great to have an avenue where you find out about new resources in our industry. It's even better with the possiblity of receiving something for free!
Even if I don't win, I plan to buy this book; sounds really helpful.Posted by:
Thanks, Stephanie, for offering this book. I'd love to have a copy. Also kudos for your page and web site. It is so helpful and up to date. Appreciate your work on our behalf.Posted by:
Oh, I'd love to win this. Please count me in too. Thank you.Posted by:
Count me in for the book giveaway, please.Posted by:
Sounds like a must read - I'm interested so count me in please!Posted by:
I am just starting out in the world of voice-over work, and am eagerly looking forward to reading "Voice For Hire" in the near future. Thanks for posting the review.Posted by:
I'd like to win Voice For Hire!Posted by:

Should prove to be interesting.Posted by:
All the reviews are A+... truly sounds like a great resource.Posted by:
Thank you for suggesting this title. I left a job after 25 years on my terms and I am now pursuing dreams that I refuse to let stay buried inside of me. I've always been told that I have a great voice. Along with pursuing a career in voice-overs and broadcasting, I'm going to see what happens, no "I'm going to make what I want....happen." Also, thanks for the valuable information you provide through Vox Daily.Posted by:
Sounds like an awesome book... perhaps just the thing I need to help me get to the next level. I'd love a copy!
Randy BloydPosted by:
I would love to have this book and follow in their footsteps. Please put me in for the giveaway.
Have a great Sunday!
Maggie ReedPosted by:
Hi Stephanie,
Well I'd love to win the book, I have quite a collection of them now
and I love reading everyone's take on the business.
I'm 67 years young. I began my acting career just 3 years ago, almost accidentally & found my passion. I am having the time of my life. I'm one of those who have been told my entire life that I have a great speaking voice. I would love to get into doing voice overs. I have had one audition for a vo & got the booking. I would be honored to get the book, start getting vo work as a result of putting its contents into practice & then write (or record) a glowing testimonial.Posted by:
Hello, Stephanie... this really sounds like the kind of book I need. My voice career is a little stalled right now, and I need to get started again. This book would get me going and headed towards success.
Right now, I need work more than anything else, and voice work has had to take a back seat. With a book like this, I could get that demodisk done and headed towards someone who could make my name in voicework. I'd like that so much.
If I can win a copy, sweet! If not, I'll trace the links and get myself a copy. Many thanks, and hope I'm lucky.
Lloyd PenneyPosted by:
Yes, I would love to win a copy.
There is nothing better than opening my email and finding a copy of Vox Daily. You do a beautiful job of imparting a wealth of information in an interesting and fun way. Thank you for what you do.
SINCERELY - Maryann Strossner
A very nice job on your book review. This looks like a *very good read*. I welcome the opportunity to win this book. I am currently working through _The 3-Dimensional Voice_, by Joni Wilson, which I am finding to be very helpful indeed. Thanks again!
David OverlyPosted by:
Thanks for the chance to win a great read by true VO insiders. Anyone can launch, but can you MAINTAIN and thrive in VO?
This sounds like a great read Stephanie.
Thanks for the post!
Put me in the winners circle!
Blair WilsonPosted by:
Just completed a class with Katherine Ryan, a top Buchwald VO agent, and realized that in spite of my experience in the VO world, there are more mountains I have yet to climb. Any help in the journey is more than welcomed! I hope I win a copy of the book and I am hungry to learn more!
Debbie IrwinPosted by:
Thanks for the review Stephanie. I'd love a copy!Posted by:
In my still short sojourn into the VO business, I'm still amazed at the generosity of the participants in this field to share their paths to success and even "trade secrets" with us novices.
I'm eager to read what these two "rock stars" have to share.
Please put my name in the hopper to win this book and thanks for these wonderful giveaways.
RogerPosted by:
Randy and Peter's book sounds like a winner - sign me up!Posted by:
Hi Stephanie:
Thanks again for some great information! This book by two very successful voiceover artists sounds like the epitome of help to all of us in the industry. The volume of knowledge appears to be very in-depth and provides us with most of the answers to questions that we have all been wondering about for years. As a somewhat new individual in this business with some experience, I know that there is a lot I don't know about it all. I think that this new book is a definite must read!! Please add my name as a hopeful winner to this thoughtful work.
Carol M. HahnPosted by:
Stephanie, I would very much like to receive a copy of "Voice for Hire". Whether you are a newbie (such as I) or one with years of experience. There is always something more to learn about voice over. I don't know if there is any part of the industry that shares it's knowledge and offers to help all of us such as voice over artists do. I appreciate each and every way we can help each other. I have not read this book, but I know that if I did, it would be of immense help in developing my career. Thank each and every one of you for sharing.
CarolynPosted by:
I would love to win the book Voice For Hire. There is always room for more knowledge and advice in the VO industry, especially from those that are tried and true in the biz.Posted by:

Today is my birthday, and if I could I'd jump up and down with my hand up saying "pick me, pick me!".
Whether that happens or not, thank you to the Voices staff for presenting information and opportunities like this.
Hopefully, I'll be able to read from cover to cover, soon.Posted by:
I have long admired Randy Thomas so I would be grateful to learn her secrets and read her book.Posted by:

JCPosted by:
Hi Stephanie,
I think Randy and Peter are great and I trust your judgement. If you say it is a must read then it must be. I have been wanting to get a copy of the book and I would love to win it from Voices.com!
Have a great week!
Personally, I think it's a fantastic thing to be able to receive books, DVD's or what have you on the subjects of voice over, or the successful people that are making it happen. Before I got involved in anything voice over, it literally took me years to research anything on the subject at all. At that time, there weren't any books and/or literature on the subject and any of the professionals that were doing it, were afraid of their own jobs and/or careers to share any of this knowledge. That's one thing I do enjoy about voices.com. It's not just a matter of being a lead generator (which some people) call it, but it's got more information about this business than you can shake a stick at. I don't know in heaven's name what is wrong with some people. There's nothing wrong with having as much help as one can get. It's fantastic that the professionals in the business would even take the time to write a book, send out blogs and podcasts and tell us newbies what's in store.
One thing I admire about people like the Don LaFontaines is this: If you ever notice, the people that are really successful at anything, are humble. They don't sarcastically put down newbies, (we all have to learn), and they don't tell us that they're too good to accept certain jobs. They just do what they do. Hats off to all the humble artists and professionals (you know who you are). The ones that have a lot to say in a boastful way, are probably not as successful as they think they are.
Anyway, Love the site, love what you're doing, and looking forward to many years to come.

I am still relatively new to the voice over world and I am soaking up all of the knowledge and expertise from other professionals that I can. This book sounds like a "must read"
Paul HernandezPosted by:
I was a voice professional with experiences within AC and Talk Radio as well as minor VO experiences. I have tried to gain some insight to the voice over career with little luck.
I feel that this book is a god-send. Where was this when I was looking to break into the business. Looks like I'm going to have to give another shot at it. Thanks Randy and Peter.Posted by:
Thanks for the info...and the chance to win!

This looks like a great "must-read." I hope I can get my copy from VOX!Posted by:
Fantastico! Please enter my name in this week's drawing, Voice for Hire!Posted by:
It's the easy to read books which in my opinion have the most impact. Besides, in this biz, if you are not voicing, you better be practicing and continuously learning and honing your craft. Lastly, if you walk away with at least 1 "new" idea, technique, experience, tip or bit of advice.....then it's all worth it!
Best of luck to everyone!!

I'm so glad that I receive the Vox Daily messages as I certainly need an impetus to motivate me into doing something with my extremely limited voice acting experience. Other than having a demo tape made with a bonafide producer, (who said I did well) I have done nothing to introduce myself to the necessary people in the field.
Reading about Randy and Peter's book has again lit a fire under me and even if I'm not chosen to receive a copy, I have promised myself to purchase a copy.
Thanks for listening..............

I seldom buy books anymore because of the time and eye-ware the computer requires, but I'm going to go out and buy 'Voice For Hire" on the strength of your review. You pitch it so effectively I can't leave reading it to chance. If I should win, please give it the the runner-up.Posted by:
Hi Steph,
I'd love to win a copy of this book! Please count me in!
Thanks a lot!
just comment and win - too good to be true!Posted by:
Sounds like a great VO resource, please include my name.
Sounds like an excellent book. Count me in.
It sounds as if this book is written for VO actos trying to make it in NY or LA. My question is will it help the VO actor in Seattle who don't want to move to the big city? I find very little material around for the small city VO actor who just wants to work from his home studio but still inspires to do this bix full time.
But please still eneter me for the contest.
Stevo in Seattle
This looks like a great book on the industry, and I'm looking forward to reading it. Hopefully I can get my copy free from Voices.com!Posted by:
As most of us know, experience is the slowest of teachers. For that reason alone Randy Thomas and Peter Rofé's book "Voice for Hire" should be a huge time saver, as well as a compelling read.Posted by:

Man placed on probation after traffic stop
Saturday, May 18, 2013
A Holts Summit man was placed on five years supervised probation after pleading guilty to two counts of distribution of controlled substance after a Cole County deputy pulled over his vehicle in May 2012 and found methamphetamine and pills.
Shaun A. Reed, 22, gave consent to a vehicle search. The deputy found two small clear plastic baggies containing a white crystal substance and a digital scale. The substance later tested to be meth. The deputy also found 20 pills in the vehicle identified as prescription drugs.

- Adams County seeks investigation of gifts to assessor
Adams County Assessor Gil Reyes was charged Wednesday with failing to report gifts from a company that won huge reductions in its property taxes.
Don Quick, the county district attorney, announced Reyes was served with a summons charging him with a criminal misdemeanor violation of Colorado law, which requires elected officials to report gifts worth more than $50. The violation carries a potential fine of $50 to $1,000, but not jail time.
Quick also disclosed that the DA's office is investigating Reyes' handling of property-assessment appeals but said he will not decide whether to file criminal charges until the state Division of Property Taxation completes its investigation of the assessor.
The misdemeanor charge came in response to a Denver Post report last month that Reyes had accepted Colorado Avalanche and Rockies tickets and lunch invitations from a vice president of Majestic Realty Co., an industrial-warehouse company that won $23 million in reductions on the taxable values of its buildings.
Those reductions saved the company more than $800,000 in property taxes last year alone.
Quick said his office investigated three possible honorarium violations and learned that the statute of limitations had elapsed in two cases. Reyes was charged only for the most recent incident, failing to report a gift in April 2010 of four Rockies tickets and a parking pass worth $152.
Reyes was not in his office Wednesday afternoon and could not be reached immediately for comment.
The gifts were disclosed in a chatty series of e-mail exchanges between Reyes and Randall Hertel, Majestic Realty's senior executive in Colorado.
"Hey Gil," Hertel wrote on April 13, 2010. "Just confirming lunch on Thursday; pick you up around 11:30. Also, wanted to see if you were interested in 4 of my Rockies tickets for either Friday night's game at 7:10, or Sunday's game at 1:10. Both are against the Florida Marlins. Let me know if either of those work, and I'll bring them with me."
"Hi Randy, I look forward to our lunch on Thursday, and I will take the offer for the Sunday game," Reyes replied.
A month earlier, Hertel had thanked Reyes for county-commission approval of tax refunds that saved the company $238,000 on two warehouses. "That's great, and thanks so much for championing that for us!!" he wrote.
The Post reported in November that Reyes had slashed millions of dollars from the taxable value of properties owned by the largest contributors to his election campaign.
The story prompted requests from a citizens group and from Reyes himself for an investigation by the Division of Property Taxation. Reyes maintained at the time that he had appropriately reduced the assessments of Majestic's warehouses.
Majestic Realty, a California-based company, was Reyes' leading contributor. The company, its officers and affiliates donated a total of $14,000 to his 2002 and 2006 campaigns. Reyes, a Democrat, ran unopposed for a third term in 2010.
Additional e-mails provided to The Post last week show that Hertel repeatedly appealed to Reyes personally for reductions in Majestic's property taxes, noting that low taxes made its warehouses easier to lease.
Hertel also sent Reyes a personal note when Adams County voters narrowly approved a ballot measure in 2009 that allowed the commissioners, sheriff, coroner and assessor to run for a third four-year term.
"Hey Gil, Congrats on the term-limit extension . . . if you choose to run again," he wrote. "Talk to you later."

Reviews for Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I
Unable to recapture the magic.digiconner | July 30, 2014 | See all digiconner's reviews »
This game is clearly Sega's attempt to grab the attention of the nostalgic classic Sonic fans. Unfortunately, it fails to match the amazing original Sonic trilogy. The graphics are okay, with the levels looking nice, but Sonic looks weird and unnatural. The music is great and is very reminiscent of the classic tunes. The physics are quite bad, as Sonic handles strangely, and his momentum feels wrong. Some of the levels can be fun, and some of the boss fights are interesting, but there are some much less enjoyable moments. Overall, the game isn't awful, but I wouldn't really recommend this game. It's not a great sequel and is a failed attempt to recreate the beloved classic Sonic.
Can this match the classics, or is it another failure?DeltaBladeX | April 27, 2013 | See all DeltaBladeX's reviews »
Sonic the Hedgehog, who doesn't know of him by now? A Sega character who started off on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis, this guy has been in games for over 20 years, rescuing small animals from the evil Doctor Robotnik (AKA Eggman). The original trilogy were a great bunch of games, and still makes Sega plenty of cash through numerous released collections, but not all of the games released since then have been so popular, with several considered to be truly bad. More recently, the series has been returning to quality games with Generations and Colors. But enough about that, you are here to see where this game stands. Story - This game strips away a lot of the characters other clutter that the series has added over the years. Once again, it is just Sonic, Robotnik and a hoard of Badniks (the robots that contain many of the captive animals). Once again Robotnik is causing trouble, and Sonic aims to stop him from taking over. Presentation - The graphics in this game obviously want to get you right in the nostalgia. You will see a lot of stuff you remember from the classic games, only now in a much higher resolution. Level style, enemies, special levels, all are little more than updated versions of classic content. I won't deny that it looks pretty, but it would have been nice to see some more new content during the levels rather than rehashed tiles. A minor niggle with the graphics, a problem I did have was some flickering occurring on the background objects, despite the fact that my computer should have no displaying any of it. Sound wise, this starts off with the classic SEGA! intro jingle which I'm sure many fans will remember. And from there, it goes onto mostly forgettable tunes, though some updated classics exist in the soundtrack. The sound effects stick to the classics as well, with everything in the levels making the sounds you would expect. Controls - Playing with an XBox 360 controller, I have to say these work well enough. You move with the left analog stick and jump with the A or B button. Later on, you can transform to Super Sonic, which is mapped to the Y button. Other than pausing the game with Start, nothing more is required to play this game. It also has acceptable controls for keyboard, using the arrow keys and Space bar. Gameplay - Time for the most important part of the review. Much like the presentation section would suggest , this game isn't going to introduce new ideas, rather aiming to hook fans using nostalgia. Each Zone is remixed from classic levels, with most of them sure to be familiar to long time players of the series. You have Splash Hill in the style of classic Green Hill levels, Casino Street which takes Casino and spring based levels, Lost Labyrinth with the expected ruins and water, and Mad Gear which brings back the mechanical base levels. There is also E.G.G. Station, which consists of a boss run and final boss fight in Robotnik's typical space base, and the Special Stage, which is the seven levels containing the Chaos Emeralds, and based on the special levels from the original game. Each of the 4 main Zones has 4 Acts with the final Act always having a boss fight against Robotnik. Most of these fights have been taken from previous games, but since each fight is split into two sections where Robotnik tries new tactics, at least you won't be expecting everything. Despite each Zone having a main theme, most Acts will each have a gimmick to set them apart from other levels in the game. One level will have you running through dark ruins with a burning torch to light your way, another will have you shooting yourself from cannons, a third will have you escaping from a giant cog. This will keep the levels from being too repetitive despite many of the gimmicks being featured in older games. Lifespan - Beyond the main levels of the game you still have the seven Chaos Emeralds to collect, with all seven unlocking Super Sonic as a playable character, as fans would expect. Within this game, he is playable in the regular levels, a feature that hasn't been part of the series since the original Mega Drive games, with other titles giving him his own special level to complete at the end of the game. There is also a total of 12 achievements to unlock during the game if you are interested in such things. While this game might not be to the same standard as the classic trilogy, it is still a decent game for the series, and worth playing through if you enjoy the Sonic games. Despite trying to cash in on your nostalgia, it plays well enough that it is at least worth picking up during a sale. It will keep you busy for a number of hours easily enough.
One of the Worst Sonic Games to DateNuxaider | March 2, 2013 | See all Nuxaider's reviews »
After over a decade since Sonic 3, SEGA has finally released its "sequel." Too bad it isn't any good. Graphics: Graphics are decent. They aren't jaw dropping but they certainly get the job done. For some reason though, Sonic looks like he was dipped in varnish and is extremely plastic and shiny. Just an aesthetic though it may displease some people. Story: This game has a vague story. After the events of Sonic 3, Eggman decides to use all his inventions to stop Sonic. And that's basically it. It may be criticized that there is no story, but as a tribute to older games, it does a good job of keeping how the story is told. Gameplay: The fact that this game is even considered a sequel should be shameful. The levels are littered with springs and boost pads, making the game quite literally, "hold right and occasionally jump to win." The game basically plays itself with the amount of springs and boost pads in the game. Also, the levels and bosses are literally borrowed from older titles. Sure, some have some innovation here and there but if the levels seem familiar, it's because they are. The bosses are the same as you fought them over a decade ago with slight changes. The major turn-off for this game are the physics. Sonic controls awkwardly and defies conventional game physics such as being to run up a wall with hardly any speed. These clunky controls are the final nail in the coffin for this game. Overall, I would not recommend buying this game now that Sonic Generations is out. This game's quality is so bad, it is an outright cash grab.
A "false" 3D remakeCavalieroscuro | Jan. 22, 2013 | See all Cavalieroscuro's reviews »
This game basically is a "false" 3D remake of the first Sonic. Same bosses, same level, same gameplay...well, the gameplay is not really the same, because this Sonic is very "slow" compared to the other franchise title. The graphic is really nothing special, there are also "puzzle" section that are not well realized (the torchs one, for example). But, at least, it isn't a horrible sequel. Is good to be played without expecting much from it.
A Good Game, but Clearly a BetaCrimsonWizard | Dec. 26, 2012 | See all CrimsonWizard's reviews »
Sonic 4 is one of Sega's newer initiatives to help sustain and grow the popularity of the long running Sonic the Hedgehog series. Unlike the standalone titles Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, Sonic 4 is to be released episodically, allowing the developers a chance to fine tune and improve Sonic 4 with each episode, essentially making each one it's own game in a series. However, it becomes increasingly clear as you play that Episode 1 is merely the origin point and beta for what's to come. While the game itself works fine and is a decent platformer, long time fans will likely be put off by the subtle and wacky changes to how the speed and physics handle compared to those in the classic Genesis/Mega Drive games or the 2D levels of Sonic Generations. Another issue is that the game mostly recycles similar themes for its levels, evoking Green Hill Zone and Death Egg among others. The bosses are most remixes of old bosses from the 16-bit days as well, with the addition of some new desperation attacks for good measure. Even the bonus stages are ripped right out of the style of the Sonic 1 bonus stages. The music is a positive point though, the tunes working fairly well, especially the invincibility theme. Graphically it looks nice, though there was an odd issue with Sonic looking a bit too bright during the outdoor stages. It's hard to tell without a screenshot, but lets just say there are little lesser quirks like that filling the game. With all of these issues, it becomes a little difficult to recommend the title. It's not that bad, and it does unlock an extra set of levels for Sonic 4: Episode 2, but Episode 1 feels like a very rough prototype. However, don't be discouraged Sonic fans, for those who want more 2D games and enjoyed Sonic Generations 2D levels, there is Episode 2 which heavily improves upon Episode 1's faults. For more, please check out my review on Episode 2's store page.
Sonic is back, or not.....Wolfear | Nov. 24, 2012 | See all Wolfear's reviews »
Sonic is back in 2d, just like everyone wanted, except it is not what it used to be. They tried to make a 2.5d variant of the old graphics. They failed. However if it played as a sonic game, I wouldn't complain. however, It doesn;t feel like a sonic game. No speed, you jump weird, it just feels bad. They tried but failed. Thankfully we now have Sonic Generations. (buy that if you want a the feel of a good sonic game)
The worst 2D Sonic gamepanz3r88 | Sept. 13, 2012 | See all panz3r88's reviews »
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 it's not the great return of Sonic to the old 2D gameplay style I expected. The first thing that disappointed me is that the game seem a collection of elements old Sonic games: I haven't found original stages and I am sure that the boss are the same of some old Sonic games. The other bad thing is the graphic, that is not good for a game released in 2011, in particular I found the backgrounds poor of details. If you are a Sonic fan you will be disappointed by this game.
Better than Generatiponswooglah | July 8, 2012 | See all wooglah's reviews »
Old school game play mechanics and decent graphics, but nothing worth praising or celebrating the return of "Sanic". Could be used as a gateway to olden 16-bit days when we all cheered "SEGA!" with the start of almost every game...
A new episode in an old seriesNeohoodman | March 8, 2012 | See all Neohoodman's reviews »
When Sonic 4 was initially announced, the news was received pretty badly. Accompanied with the newly released media, the most heard comment was that the artstyle just didn't look right and the physics played all wrong. Now, after release, and having played the game, there is truth to be found in the earlier comments by critics. Wether or not you like the graphical style of the game, which is a matter of opinion, the game does lack options and certain sharpness. You can definitely notice jaggy edges during gameplay and it might bother some people, others might notice it at all. Gameplay is reminiscent of original Sonic gameplay, but alot of things just didn't feel right. Sonic is often able to run up against walls without any built up speed prior to the wall and certain platforming elements don't work like they should. Sonic also has an added Homing Attack, which allows for alot of alternate ways in playing the game, though most of the times te game is built around this feature; a feature that also was not in the original Sonic games. Despite all that, Sonic Team put effort into bringing back old school sonic to today's standards. No silly friends, missions or huge plotlines, just good ol' Sonic. Sonic Team is learning, and it bodes well for the future of Sonic.

A close reading of his speech reveals how big an understatement that is. In fact, in the near-term, much of what the president plans to do -and more importantly, not do - will make achieving that long-term vision much harder.
He again spoke of America's support for a set of universal rights that include, "free speech, the freedom of peaceful assembly, the freedom of religion, equality for men and women under the rule of law, and the right to choose your own leaders—whether you live in Baghdad or Damascus, Sanaa or Tehran." Yet in Tehran, he stood with the regime and not the people after the fraudulent 2009 elections that saw Iranian protesters take to the streets. The exercise of those "universal rights" was seen then as an obstacle to his engaging-with-enemies agenda. But Iran remains America's largest looming foreign policy issue and Obama's words will have no affect on the leaders who continue to pursue nuclear weapons or the people he callously neglected two years ago.
In Damascus the people are currently on the streets demanding the same set of universal rights that Obama promotes. But here too the president fell way short. It is inexcusable to lay out American principles as he did and then not call for regime change in Syria. The shaky case he made for intervening in Libya — where America has very limited interests — has already been surpassed by the obvious case for intervention in Syria where close to a thousand people have already been killed. The Assad regime is Iran's partner and the greatest obstacle to the long-term success of the "Arab Spring." It is also a perfect example of the failure of the White House's engagement strategy.
Obama's profound misreading of that regime as a possible catalyst for positive change was apparent when he said, "President Assad now has a choice: He can lead that transition or get out of the way." It is now over two months into the Syrian uprising and Assad made his choice long ago. And the Syrian dictator will take heart knowing that America's words are empty. Indeed, it is sad to imagine how hollow his words ring out among those protesting in Syria when he said, "Our message is simple: If you take risks that reform entails, you will have the full support of the United States." What support is he referring to?
Perhaps the most puzzling aspect of Obama's speech is that he correctly pointed out that for too long leaders in the region tried to direct their people's grievances elsewhere. "Antagonism toward Israel became the only acceptable outlet for political expression," he explained. But then he launched into a new set of American principles on the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, once again making an issue that has nothing to do with the "Arab Spring" central in American foreign policy.
Obama abandoned a cornerstone of U.S. policy, which was based on solving the territorial issue according to UN Security Council Resolution 242, which calls for borders to be "secure and recognized." His call for the territorial solution to be based on the 1967 border is a solid and public step toward the Palestinian position at a time when the terrorist group Hamas and Fatah have formed a unity government. This is yet another concession Obama made to the Palestinians that they will pocket. The first was his settlement freeze demand as a precondition to negotiate that is largely responsible for the lack of progress in Palestinian-Israeli negotiations. Indeed, it is hard to imagine how Fatah and Hamas would be unified and seeking unilateral recognition of statehood without Obama's previous and current missteps in the peace process. At any rate, the renewed focus on the peace process at this time — without any mechanism to implement it — will likely prove to be yet another waste of American diplomatic capital.
It is not hard to spell out what a positive future would look like in the Middle East. It's getting there that is the problem. President Obama offered reassuring words but he did not spell out what he intends to do to help those currently in the streets of Syria and Libya. In short, he sold the dream of a future without anything specific in the near term.

In an AP interview, Nick said he and his friends often raided their parents' medicine cabinets for anything they could get their hands on – codeine, Xanax, Ritalin. Some kids, Nick said, would have "skittles parties," where the teens threw all the pills they poached from home into a big bowl, mixed them up and then took a few without knowing exactly what they were ingesting.
By 14, Nick's parents knew something was wrong. The day before he turned 15, they sent Nick to The Center for Success and Independence in Houston for 7 1/2 months of substance abuse treatment. It wasn't easy on anyone in the family – Nick, his two younger brothers and his parents. Nick tried to escape twice, but made it through the program and has been sober now for a year.
"My family life is a lot better. I'm realizing there are fun things in life that I can do sober," said Nick, now 16. "I got a chance to get clean and I have my whole life ahead of me."
One in four teens in the study said they had misused or abused a prescription drug at least once. That's up sharply, a 33 percent increase, in the last five years. One in eight teens report misusing or abusing the drugs Ritalin or Adderall – stimulants prescribed to treat ADHD. Other national studies also have seen a rise in abuse numbers for these stimulants among teens.
The partnership's Pasierb says parents need to talk early and often with their children about the dangers of drugs, including prescription drugs. "They need to tell their children that this isn't healthy for you and it will break my heart if you do this."
Looking back, Tracey Gerl says she should have listened to her gut more when she first suspected Nick might be using drugs.
"If it doesn't seem right, it's not," said Gerl. "Don't ever be naive to think it's not my kid."

Washington Irving's Sunnyside
Washington Irving, author of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," lived in the early 19th-century stone colonial Dutch cottage from 1835 until his death in 1859. The riverfront home contains a large collection of the author's possessions, including his writing desk and book collection. Guides in Victorian dress provide 45-minute tours of the dining room, study, kitchen, bedrooms, and the 10-acres of pastoral grounds that blossom with wildflowers in the spring. At Sunnyside, visitors can learn about Washington Irving's storied past and how he came to be America's first internationally famous author, best remembered now for The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and other short stories. Beginning in 1835, he expanded a small cottage in stages, combining his sentimental interests in the architecture of colonial New York and buildings he knew in Scotland and Spain. Since Sunnyside and many of its furnishings remained in the family, a visit here is one of the most authentic experiences of mid-19th century life anywhere in the country.

Editor's Note: In honor of our new retrospective on the life of Henry Lowenstein , (click here), we are re-posting John Moore's March 20, 2005, look back at the history of the Bonfils Theatre.
Long before the creation of the Denver Center Theatre Company, Denver's premier theater was staged at the Bonfils Memorial Theater at East Colfax Avenue and Elizabeth Street.
Over 33 years, the Bonfils' seductive stage called out to everyone from New York celebrities to a state Supreme Court justice to a future Miss America to legions of ordinary folk. It even saw the occasional streaker and bomb threat.
It was a community theater that was professionally run.
When former Denver Post publisher Helen Bonfils built her 550-seat theater palace as a memorial to her parents, it was the first new live theater built anywhere in Denver in 40 years. It soon became the epicenter of Denver society.
By the time it closed in 1986 as the Lowenstein Theater, it had hosted more than 400 mainstage and children's productions. Its legacy includes a summer festival caravan that toured city parks, a free annual outdoor summer musical in Cheesman Park and a black-box cabaret. Its long list of legendary directors includes Alexander Ivo, Robert Wells, Harry Geldard, Bob Bannister, Buddy Butler, Bev Newcomb-Madden and Gary Montgomery, nephew of British military hero Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery.
The building has sat unoccupied for 19 years, but a new plan to turn the Lowenstein into a cultural retail center only made what had been long assumed now obvious: While the building's exterior will be preserved, this beloved gem's days as a performance venue are over.
The current plan calls for the Tattered Cover Book Store to take over the existing theater, while the Denver Film Society and Twist & Shout records will operate in a new facility to be built next door.
The Bonfils story includes actors collapsing onstage and being bailed out of jail just before curtain. There are tales of ghosts and hookers both being shooed away by diligent house manager Joe Farrow. Onstage, the canon included antiwar stories, cautionary tales of nuclear destruction and some of the first staged works with homosexual characters ("Boys in the Band"), all playing opposite professionally staged children's stories like "Pippi Longstocking" and "Golliwhoppers."
In honor of a closed chapter in the city's history, The Post asked longtime producer Henry Lowenstein and many of those who performed there for their memories.
Lowenstein remembers the theater as "one of the best-designed and best-equipped theater buildings that existed at the time." For many actors, Michael Gold said, "it was the start of our careers. And it was all good theater with the sole purpose of entertainment."
For untold millions of Coloradans, the Bonfils served as their first experience in live theater. And for many of their grandchildren as well.
Bonfils Theatre: Some of the names
A few local Bonfils theater alumni:
John Ashton, Dwayne Carrington, Tony Church, Joe Craft, Tupper Cullum, Paul Dwyer, Michael R. Duran, Robert Garner, Michael Gold, Bev Newcomb-Madden, Jeffrey Nickelson, Cleo Parker-Robinson, Deborah Persoff, Alex Ryer, Rick Seeber, Roger L. Simon, Robert Wells.
Celebrities who appeared in Bonfils Theatre productions:
Helen Bonfils, Mary Jo Catlett, Julia Child (she gave an onstage cooking demonstration), Kevin Kline, Patti LuPone, Gary Montgomery, Ted Shackelford, David Ogden Stiers, Marilyn Van Derbur (Miss America), Joan Van Ark, Paul Winfield, Emlyn Williams.
The Bonfils Theatre: A brief history
1929: University Civic Theatre opens with "Candida" at University of Denver's Margaret Reed Hall.
1953: Helen Bonfils builds the new 550-seat Bonfils Memorial Theatre, the first new theater building in Denver in 40 years. She names it Denver Civic Theatre at the Bonfils Memorial Theatre.
1956: Henry Lowenstein is hired as set designer.
1966: Donald R. Seawell named CEO of The Denver Post and supervisor of the Bonfils.
1967: Lowenstein is named producer.
1972: Helen Bonfils dies.
1985: Renamed the Lowenstein Theater.
1986: Theater closed by unanimous vote of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts board of trustees, chaired by Seawell
Ten unforgettable events in the theater's history
1. When the Bonfils Memorial Theatre opened in October 1953, millionaire Broadway producer Blevins Davis ("Porgy & Bess") called it the finest theater of its kind in the country. "There is nothing better in New York," he said. A congratulatory telegram was sent to founder Helen Bonfils by president Dwight D. Eisenhower. "All of Denver society would show up for every opening night, presided over by Miss Helen, who would walk to her seat as the audience applauded her," said former theater critic Thom Wise. "The society writers would cover, in detail, what all of the prominent women would wear, and who sat next to whom. In those days, the Bonfils Theater was the social center of the city."
2. Tragedy struck in 1954. During the intermission of "Jack and the Beanstalk," a crew member fell from 18 feet up the stalk and down through an open trap door to his death. A shaken Bonfils was determined "she better have someone in there who knew what they were doing," said producer Henry Lowenstein. "And that's how I got hired."
3. People still buzz about the night Carol Channing attended "Sorrows of Stephen" in 1982 and hung out with the cast for hours afterward. But nothing topped a 1955 tribute to Denver playwright Mary Chase. She was being honored after a performance of her "Harvey" when Jimmy Stewart, the star of the film version, emerged from the back row; he had watched the entire performance unnoticed.
4. In 1957, Judge O. Otto Moore, chief justice of the Colorado Supreme Court, played the William Jennings Bryan-inspired role in the Scopes Monkey Trial drama "Inherit the Wind." "We all thought that issue was finally behind us, and look what's going on now," Lowenstein said. "Here we are 50 years later and the issue is as alive as ever."
5. In a 1965 production of "Dark of the Moon," a backwoods Ozarks preacher rapes a woman as townspeople crowd around, shielding the audience from view. Lowenstein was prepared for the worst when he was summoned to the lobby to face a preacher who had an unexpected agenda. "He said, 'I have a couple here who really wanted to see your show before they leave on their honeymoon. But they haven't been married yet. Since you already have the lectern set up, can we marry them onstage here?' They got married right then and there, with all my staff as witnesses. It was absolutely wonderful."
6. The new "Perry Mason" series was filmed inside the Bonfils from 1987-89, among many other Denver locales. Raymond Burr was a consultant to Helen Bonfils on the original design of her theater. That's why he chose to film his series there, Wise said.
7. A large portrait of "Miss Helen" graced the building's foyer. The newspaper magnate's first love was the theater. She would spend most theater seasons in New York as an actor and producer. She summered in Denver with her husband, George Somnes, who produced and directed plays at the Elitch Theatre. After her death in 1972, many Bonfils regulars became convinced that in her portrait, the sky behind Bonfils would grow gloomier if the current show were one she would not have liked.
8. In 1971, 23-year-old Kevin Kline was joined by David Ogden Stiers, Patti LuPone, Mary Lou Rosato and others from John Houseman's The Acting Company to perform three shows in repertory for three weeks. Lowenstein fondly remembers driving the young stars in his beat-up Scout through a blizzard to the Career Education Center, where they conducted a workshop for children. Kline came back for at least two other runs at the Bonfils in the 1970s.
9. In 1971, 10 days before an opening night, Lowenstein canceled a production of "The Imaginary Invalid," being staged in conjunction with the University of Denver. After four months of rehearsal, it was looking like a disaster. "I was the bad guy," said Lowenstein, who then rushed "The Taming of the Shrew" and "Becket" into simultaneous production so that the entire cast of the canceled show would have parts. But that didn't quell the animosity. Opening night was canceled by a bomb threat. Then the next night as well. "By the third night I said, 'I can't do this anymore. They can close us forever if we do this night after night,"' he said. That night a threatening note was found in a dressing room with letters cut from a magazine. "It was pretty clear that somebody in the cast was involved," Lowenstein said. "But I said, 'I don't give a damn. This show is going on. I am willing to risk it."' Neither show, it turns out, was a bomb.
10. Lowenstein considers Robert Wells' 1983 production of "Sweeney Todd" the theater's greatest artistic achievement. "That was the one show I would say absolutely got it right," he said. "Everything about it was the way it should be." It was the highlight of Wells' 35-show run as well. "It was a knockout," he said. Three years later, the theater closed.

I have been thinking about a hobby to keep Lily busy with during the school year. Last week I accidently stumbled upon a website for a dance studio near our house. I called and signed her up for a class that starts tomorrow.
Of course we had to go buy the appropriate gear for her class. The studio told me about a store off of Huebner/I-10 so we headed there after work today.
First she tried on a leotard and tutu.
Then she tried on the tap shoes.
And then came the slippers.

Next week I'll be traveling to Rome. Yes, I'll be working for most of the day, but I hope to have some free time to visit the city (or at least some parts of it). Looking for some online information on what the city has to offer I found a very nice photo album, here.
You can virtually visit the select location through a set of photos taken by others, but soon I'll tell you if the actual places are as beautiful as they seem.
After some more searching I found that the idea has been used (researched?) in Microsoft® Live Labs to develop Photosynth.

Your ICD is a device that watches the electrical signals in your heart. Most ICDs are well protected from other electrical device interference. Microwave ovens and most common household and yard appliances will not cause problems. Signals from some large electric or magnetic fields can make interference "noise" on your ICD. This can cause problems. Possible sources of interference include certain heavy equipment, strong magnets, running motors, and large tools like commercial arc welders. You shouldn't work on your car with the motor running, but it's safe to drive. Check with your doctor about any large, unusual power tools you use.
To protect your ICD, take special precautions around:
Cellular phones. Always carry a cell phone on the side opposite your ICD and at least 6 inches away from it. While using a cell phone, wear a headset or hold the phone to the ear opposite your ICD.
Electromagnetic anti-theft systems. These are often near entrances or exits in stores. Walking through one is OK, but avoid standing near or leaning against one.
Strong electrical fields. These can be caused by radio transmitting towers and heavy-duty electrical equipment (such as arc welders). A running engine also produces an electrical field. It's OK to ride in a car, but avoid leaning over the open hood of a running car.
Very strong magnets. Talk with your heart doctor if another doctor tells you to have an MRI (a medical test that uses magnets). Magnets in big speakers (such as on a stereo or at a concert) and in hand-held security wands (such as those used at airports) can cause problems if they come too close to the ICD.
If it's near one of the signals described above, the ICD could turn off or its settings could reset. You could even get a shock. If you think you were exposed to a signal like this, call your doctor and explain what happened.
You'll be given a temporary ID card when you get your ICD. The permanent card will be mailed to you in about 6 weeks. Show this card to any doctor, dentist, or other medical professional you visit. Also show it to guards at the airport. This way, they know to follow special procedures that prevent the security wand from interfering with your ICD.

Being a magical library, shouldn't it have an Astrology section instead of Astronomy?
Thanks the heads up on the spelling errors, and to Tilt for getting my title right. Doh!
As for Astrology vs Astronomy; good question. I actually thought that myself, but those subject headings are based on the classes from the Harry Potter series (at least according to Google). Astrology wasnt one of them; it may be something lumped into Divination, which I decided to leave off as a general subject area. perhaps a second floor is needed...
In Harry Potter Astrology is indeed part of Divination. I'm not quite sure WHY Astronomy is studied, it's not a magical subject. Maybe just to give an excuse for Hogwarts having a really tall tower.
I am a geology nerd.
Blame the centaurs!
I have started make a few more additions, but really, I think now that I need a second level to house the archives, special collections, bathrooms, and the inter-library loan department. I dont think I will have time to finish this one before the contest ends as I am going away on Aug. 1st. Oh well...guess I will just do what I can between now and then.
Well, loads of changes and a second level yet to build. I dunno if I will get this done but so far I am having fun which is the main thing, right?
Let me know of any changes you think are needed or your opinions on the library so far, please! I know the second floor has some major problems: its really just a place holder right now, as I still have things I want to add to the Main Stacks level.

So, how bad will FAU be? How does No. 117 sound?
Well, believe it or not, the rankings of the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams have begun. Which means we are about 120 days to kickoff of the new season (124 if you count the four making the transition from FCS (I-AA) to FBS).
And given FAU's struggles of late, residents of Owl Country don't have long to wait before their team gets mentioned.
In fact, showed up on the Orlando Sentinel's countdown yesterday, coming in at No. 117. The good news is there are three teams ranked worse than the Owls.
Last year FAU came in around 110 in the preseason rankings, and I remember players being angered over those projections and saying they were going to show the nation that they were a much better team than that.
Well, we all know how that went. FAU managed to do even worse than 110, going 1-11 with the worst offense in the country and a strong case could be made they were the worst team in the nation.
I expect FAU will do better than 117 this year. In fact they could end up in double digits. It would be hard to place them much higher than 117 right now, though, considering what they lost and what they have coming back and all the uncertainties of new systems and new coaches.
With the bar so low, the Owls don't have to jump very high to exceed expectations.
