After experimenting with a variety of styles and declaring the album format dead, psychedelic hard rock band The Cult came roaring back in 2012 with Choice of Weapon, their best album in two decades and a return to the sound that initially put the band on the map in the 1980s. As part of our Tell Me About That Album series, we chatted with The Cult's singer, Ian Astbury, to dig deeper into the record, which revealed some deep ties to Seattle and its music scene, dating back to the mid-80s. The band plays the Neptune Theater tonight.
Speaking of Chris Goss, he shares a producer credit on the album with Bob Rock, another hard rock heavyweight. Can you talk about selecting the two of them and how the pair divided the duties? Goss and I had been longtime friends. He worked on a solo record of mine in the late '90s and he worked on the UNKLE record in 2007. I thought we needed his energy in The Cult. Goss works more in terms of intuition. He has a presence that is almost Buddah-like. He's Dionysian. He works completely instinctively. He's a very different animal. I think a lot of the atmosphere comes from Chris. One minute we're listening to Jimmy Page, the next we're talking about [Brian Eno's] Here Come the Warm Jets. His influences are all over the shop. That was the genesis of the record. And then you get to a place where you have to make like architectural decisions -- certain harmonies or certain engineering choices. We'd kind of exhausted Chris as well so I felt like the only man who could really finish the record was Bob. Bob did four records with us. When Bob came in the room he started to work more on things like certain melodic pastures, key lines that were missing. Bob Rock's an incredible engineer, so he has all that brilliant engineering skill at his disposal. He did a lot of overdubs as well, like a piano player, which was something we'd never done before. The unrefined work was done with Chris and then the refined process was done with Bob. The interesting thing is they both have an incredible amount of mutual respect for each other. They both brought something very important to this record.
After a few albums that dabbled in different styles, Choice of Weapon is a sort of a return to the sound of your best-loved records. Was this intentional? Sometimes you've just got to try new things to realize what you're best at. Michael Jordan went a season playing baseball. You've got to try wearing a different hat for a while. It doesn't fit but there's some very valuable things in there. You really find out who you are. This is really a return to guitar-driven pieces, but having said that, there are so many influences. One thing that was really important to me is cinema - cinematic visions. "This Night in the City Forever" is a very cinematic song, or "Elemental Light." These songs have ethereal qualities, whereas "Honey from a Knife" is straight-up knife-edge, street, almost Stooges influence. There are certain esoteric elements to the record, which is one of the things about The Cult -- they can't say we're an out and out hard rock band because when we play with hard rock bands everybody looks at us and says, "What are you doing here? You're a post-modern band." We're an anomaly. We're kind of peerless in many ways right now. We had a lot in common with what was happening in Seattle and Mother Love Bone. When I met Andrew [Wood], we were immediately talking the same language. He knew the value of Joy Division and also of Freddie Mercury or Led Zeppelin or Public Image and we were able to talk on that level. Even bands like Soundgarden came out of that energy.
Do you remember the first time you played Seattle? Yeah, Capitol Theater, 1985. Or was it '86? "She Sells Sanctuary" was actually a top 40 hit in Seattle, believe it or not. Strangely enough, that period, our biggest city in the United States was Seattle. The Love album was a very important record in Seattle. Andrew Wood said to me, "Anybody who was anybody was at that show." In many ways we would say Seattle bands were like our cousins. Soundgarden brought me to an important show in Seattle with Alice in Chains and Soundgarden on the bill, I think it was 1994 Lollapalooza, and they actually brought me up to announce the band on stage. Chris [Cornell] actually walked up on stage and said, "If it wasn't for Ian Astbury there wouldn't be a Lollapalooza."

S Dobson Rd / W Broadway Rd median real estate price is $194,498, which is more expensive than 49.2% of the neighborhoods in Arizona and 53.5% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.
The average rental price in S Dobson Rd / W Broadway Rd is currently $882, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. Rents here are currently lower in price than 78.5% of Arizona neighborhoods.
S Dobson Rd / W Broadway Rd is an urban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Mesa, Arizona.
S Dobson Rd / W Broadway Rd real estate is primarily made up of small (studio to two bedroom) to medium sized (three or four bedroom) apartment complexes/high-rise apartments and single-family homes. Most of the residential real estate is renter occupied. Many of the residences in the S Dobson Rd / W Broadway Rd neighborhood are established but not old, having been built between 1970 and 1999. A number of residences were also built between 1940 and 1969.
S Dobson Rd / W Broadway Rd has a 14.9% vacancy rate, which is well above average compared to other U.S. neighborhoods (higher than 73.6% of American neighborhoods). Most vacant housing here is vacant year round. This could either signal that there is weak demand for real estate in the neighborhood or that large amount of new housing has been built and not yet occupied. Either way, if you live here, you may find many of the homes or apartments are empty.

This is the stretch run now, we have one more day until the final expo and the students aren't loosing any steam. We came into the studio early in the morning and have stopped only for lunch and dinner. It's been an awesome couple of days that have been jam packed with various activities and hours of sketching and drafting. I've never seen so many young students be this much into architecture and it has been an extremely refreshing experience. Tomorrow, the final awaits us.
Day 12: Studio – Part DeuxPublished July 30, 2015 Studio Leave a Comment
Day 11: StudioPublished July 30, 2015 Studio Leave a Comment
Draw, draw, some then draw some more!!! The final expo is quickly approaching and the students are hard at work. Everyone is now scrambling to finish up their designs in order to transfer them over to the final drawing format. The desks are slowly getting more and more cluttered with the beauty of the architectural process becoming more apparent. The drawings are getting better and increasingly more detailed. Since we have a long day in studio on Thursday and everyone will be busy finishing up their drawings we decided to take everyone out for some classic Chicago style pizza. We went to Giordano's Pizzeria since there were so many students who hadn't tried deep dish pizza. Chicago is very proud of its pizza so introducing it to those who hadn't tried it is crucial to the Chicago experience. Drawing and model building await us tomorrow.
Day 10: Firm Tour – Part DeuxPublished July 30, 2015 Studio Leave a Comment
On Tuesday we woke up extra early and brought the students to visit UrbanWorks. UrbanWorks is a medium size architecture firm located in Chicago's River North neighborhood. UrbanWorks focuses on a variety of projects ranging from urban planning to smaller residential units. We were given a presentation on their current projects as well as a presentation on possible portfolio content. Then we headed over to downtown Chicago and paid a visit to EXP Architecture firm. EXP is a multidisciplinary firm that focuses on building engineering, infrastructure, urban planning, and sustainability and is located in the heart of downtown Chicago on Michigan Avenue. Thomas Hoepf, principal and design architect as well as a graduate professor here at IIT, gave us a tour of the firm as well as an in-depth conversation of what it's like to transition from school into the workplace. We hurried back to catch lunch here at the commons. We're all busy preparing for the final expo so we came back to the studio to continue drawing the rest of the day. We are entering the most exciting part of the design process and the creative energy is at an all-time high. The student drawings are developing well and we have such an amazing group of talented individuals. We can't wait to see their final drawings!!!
Day 9: Firm TourPublished July 28, 2015 Studio Leave a Comment
Monday brought along a variety of exciting introductions. After meeting up at studio, we headed over to the West Loop neighborhood for our first firm tour. The firm Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture (HPA) was gracious enough to bring us into their offices and talk to us about their work including showing us drawings for the newly designed Google headquarters in Chicago. Sophie Bidek, a partner with HPA talked to us about the architectural process their office applies as well as a brief overview of what it's like to be a partner at a firm and an architect at a firm as they are quite different. Then we headed to downtown towards the well renown Louis Sullivan building where the Gensler headquarters are located. Gensler is one of the biggest firms in the world with a vast variety of projects. Our intention was to first introduce them to what a medium sized firm looks like and how they operate and then raise the scale and show them what the bigger firms do. After lunch, we returned to the studio and assigned what the final projects were going to be. The excitement in the air was at an all-time high as everyone got directly to sketching ideas while beginning the first set of paper models showing off their concepts. There's too much excitement to be had in the days ahead!
Day 8: Free Day – Part DeuxPublished July 28, 2015 Studio Leave a Comment
We started the day off early since we were in a hurry to get to the Maxwell's Street Market. The Maxwell Street Market is Chicago's oldest open air markets and is now located on the University of Illinois at Chicago's (UIC) campus. We took a combination of trains and buses as it's just a great way to get to know the city and its lesser known areas. At the market, we sampled a variety of tasty foods and assorted icy beverages. We also gave them all the opportunity to explore the market on their own and fill any shopping needs. We continued the afternoon by heading over to Chicago's historic landmark, Navy Pier. Navy Pier is Chicago's largest tourist attraction and truly a place to visit at least once in your lifetime. It was a beautiful day full of adventure until rain threatened us over and over again. We decided to play it safe and head back to campus as most of us were beat from walking around in the sun all day. Luckily for us, we made it back just in time for dinner. The rest of the night was spent playing volleyball and soccer on campus grounds.
Day 7: Free DayPublished July 28, 2015 Studio Leave a Comment
Chicago is an architectural goldmine and consequentially we have all had a long week exploring the city and its many neighborhoods. Saturday brought us all the much needed rest many of us needed. We allowed the students to take the morning to get some relaxation time. By the time the evening came many of us were eager to get out and continue exploring the city. We tried to rent some bikes and bike the beautiful Lake Shore path but were unsuccessful at acquiring 23 bikes for the entire group. We scrapped the idea and took the opportunity to introduce the students to the Red Line subway system as many of them had never ridden in underground transit. We took the students to North Avenue beach, one of the few beaches located in the heart of downtown Chicago, and enjoyed the 80 degree weather under the sun as well as the gorgeous views of Chicago's breathtaking skyline. After spending a few hours playing volleyball, soccer, and general beach shenanigans we decided to head back to campus and prepare for an early morning the next day.
Day 6: Oak Park TravelsPublished July 27, 2015 Studio Leave a Comment
We had an early start to the day, seeing as how we had to travel to Oak Park where world renowned architect, Frank Llyod Wright established his first home and studio, along with various other homes in the area. When we arrived to Oak Park, we sketched in front of the Oak Park Library designed by Nagle Hartray. We toured through the gorgeous library and even got VIP access to the rooftop garden. After the tour and many sketches later, we worked up an appetite and ate at one of the local Italian restaurants.
Frank Llyod Wright was one of the greatest architects of the early 20th century. At 22 , Mr. Wright designed his first home and studio, which has been restored and persevered in order to offer tours of the beautiful historic space. As we toured his home and studio, one couldn't help but to feel inspired by how we experienced the space. After the tour, we walked through Oak Park to visit his other homes he designed. After a beautiful day through the town, the only way to end it is with ice cream! Tomorrow, the student's get to sleep in and enjoy their weekend.

Raymond Smullyan presented this puzzle on the cover of his excellent 1980 book The Chess Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes. Black moved last. What was his move?
There's no legal move by which Black could have removed one of his own pieces from the board, so he must have moved the king. It's illegal for two kings ever to occupy adjacent squares, so the king must have moved to a8 from a7. White's previous move must have placed him in check there. White cannot have accomplished this with a bishop move, as the white bishop cannot have moved to its present position from another diagonal. The only other possibility is a discovered check by a knight:
So, in this position, White moved the knight from b6 to a8, discovering check, and Black captured the knight with his king.

Buy them---they work.
I have a Mitsubishi WD60738 that I bought in April. I called them and they gave a different number for the glasses, but when I emailed them they said this model of glasses will work. 3DG-X103 without the emitter or 3DG-EX103 with the emitter. I ordered the one with the emitter to be on the safe side and they work perfectly.. They are made by Mitsubishi and they are comfortable--they have extra nose pieces to choose from. Don't be afraid to but them because they work.

Pre-Mother's Day event to benefit good cause
Faith's Hope Foundation has joined forces with ExecuDeeVa Inc. and the Cantina Lounge to create a pre-Mother's Day fundraising event.
Bring your mother, grandmother, sisters, friends or any mom that you feel deserves to get pampered. This event will be offering hair and makeup makeovers being provided by April Love Pro Beauty Academy, as well as professional photography sessions, music and entertainment, raffle prizes, multiple women's vendors with very special Mother's Day packages, It Works body wraps, jewelry, Grace Adele purses, Scentsy products, Origami Owl and more.
This is an important fundraiser to help assist a family that is very dear to the Fullerton community. Dennis and Barb Leonhardt have been very active members of the Fullerton community and have been involved with the Fullerton Chamber for countless years. Barb is the former president of the Fullerton Women's Club and the Founder of Mastermind Alliance, a strong networking group focused on mentoring others and helping small businesses become more successful. This power couple was always the first to lead the charge to help others in their community.
Now it is Barb who needs our help. Dennis recently lost his battle with cancer. This sudden illness caused an extreme blow to the couple's finances, both being successful self-employed business people. When Dennis became ill, there was no one to run his battery business, and Barb did not have the time to work because she was lovingly caring for her husband. Now Barb is left with medical bills, funeral costs and multiple unexpected expenses that must be taken care of.
Faith's Hope Foundation was established for this very purpose – to help family members who find themselves overwhelmed when it comes to caring for a family member who is terminally ill, and the expenses just keep coming in.

Pleasant Mountain Cabins
There's nothing like waking up in your own wilderness accommodations – Especially when you're waking up on TOP of the mountain. With the Pleasant Mountain Yurt and Cabins, you own the mountain. We have constructed a fantastic yurt and cabin on top of Shawnee Peak, and we've opened them up to you. And whether it's December or July, the Yurt and Cabin are available for your stay. Bottom line, all year round, our Yurt and Cabins are here to offer you a true mountaintop experience unlike any other.
In the wintertime, imagine your own private mountaintop get-a-way: you can ski and/or ride right to the front door, get settled in by the interior fireplace, cook some dinner and watch the stars either on the deck or by the outside firepit. One of the coolest things is being able to take a run in the morning before anyone else is on the mountain. Just keep in mind you won't be able to get back to the campsite until the lifts start.
The Northridge Yurt sleeps 4 in two bunk beds with hypoallergenic mattresses, Tuckerman's Cabin sleeps 6 in two bunk beds and a double futon. You are required to bring your own bedding and pillows. Basic kitchen amenities including pots, pans, utensils, dishes and cups are provided. Propane fireplaces keep you cozy warm, and there are two propane stoves if you'd like to cook up some mountaintop cuisine. Also, we have outdoor fire pits and comfy deck chairs to lounge on – particularly great if you're on top of the mountain in the summertime. Potable water is provided. Lighting is natural during the day, battery powered lamps are provided for the evening hours, headlamps are highly recommended. Both campsites have a natural outhouse.
The Pleasant Mountain Cabins are a pack in, pack out experience. During the ski season guests may ride the Summit Triple to access the campsites. Guests must load the lift before last chair.
Winter Camping Rates
During our winter operations the Yurt and Cabin are each $185/night, plus a 9% lodging tax and a $100 refundable securtiy deposit. A one-night deposit ($185 + tax) is due with your reservation. The balance will be due 30 days prior to your arrival. Your $100 security deposit will be refunded after check-out inspection, normally within 24 hours.
In the winter we include a complimentary night ticket on the night you check in. The following day's ticket is discounted.*
Well trained pets are welcome in the off season and must be on a leash.
You can book online (to do this start by plugging your requested dates into the booking tool on the home page of the website) email email@example.com or call 207-647-8444 ext. 10 to reserve the Yurt or Cabin, and create your one-of-a-kind experience today.
Please note: A minimum of 24 hours notice is required to book your stay.
*complimentary and discounted tickets are offered the guests of the yurt and cabin only limited to the number of beds in each respective campsite.

Many people believe that the way to go with web hosting is to choose one that is free. Depending on your situation, a free host may not be the right option for you. Like anything else, you need to educate yourself on the drawbacks of these types of hosting companies so you know what to expect. Continue on for some great tips that will inform you on what to look out for when choosing a web host.
Give a web host a limited time to meet your expectations. Do not settle for a company and then stay there no matter what. Three months is adequate time to judge whether a web hosting company meets your needs. If you are not satisfied, start shopping for a new host well before the terms expire.
If you have been used to the same web host for several months, look at the availability of your website. An availability of 99% or more means your website is accessible all the time. If you notice a lower availability rate, look for a web host that does not encounter as many outages.
If you are going to obtain a shared web hosting solution, conduct some research on the websites that you will be sharing your server with. You should definitely avoid sharing servers with websites that participate in spam due to the fact that if any of these websites receive an IP address ban from search engines or internet service providers, your website will be banned along with them. Adult websites in particular tend to participate in these kinds of activities.
Before choosing your web hosting service, determine whether or not you will need to use web templates. Many hosts will provide easy to use templates for building your site without the need for HTML knowledge or a professional designer. If you need this service, then choose a host that give a wide range of templates.
If you are thinking about using a web hosting provider, it is generally a good idea if you can find a hosting provider that will allow you to use your own custom domain name. Most free providers don't allow this so finding one that does will make it much more valuable.
If you want to add different features to your site such as a chat room, a bulletin board or a contact form, you should look for a web hosting service that supports CGI scripts. If you don't know how to create these scripts, some web hosts can provide you with templates.
Once your site is online, you should always plan ahead of time in case you need to upload your plan. This means you have to keep track of how your site is growing and how popular it is becoming. Do not let your plan become obsolete by neglecting to upgrading it.
Go for Linux hosting unless you need to use certain applications or server-side languages. Linux hosting has a better reputation for uptime, stability, and resource use. Shared hosting that runs on Linux tends to be somewhat cheaper, as well. There are, however, certain applications that need Windows hosting, including Plesk, Microsoft Access, Silverlight, MSSQL, and ASP.net.
If you have decided to use a free web hosting service, then be aware of potential problems and be prepared to deal with them. These can include, restrictions on your hosting package, limited number of web pages allowed, and issues with security. In addition, it is highly likely that you will be bombarded with unwanted ads that appear on your site, as well as, popups and banners.
The web design on a web hosting provider's website is a quick and easy indication of the quality of the provider. If the website is poorly designed, it can indicate a company that isn't planning on being around for the long haul, or doesn't have enough clients to justify having a professional-looking website. Simply move on to a different provider if their website is not up to professional standards.
As you can, there are many inconveniences that can arise from having your site hosted by a company that is free. If you are aware of the many pitfalls that come with the territory, then you will not be upset when going with this sort of service. Apply the advice from this article so you are more aware of what these kinds of hosting services provide.

The Daily BeastTough year, Seattle?
According to The Daily Beast, which collects clicks by annually compiling a list of the nation's drunkest cities, Seattle shot up the drunk-o-meter in 2011. Residents of 29 cities were drunker than Seattleites in 2010; last year, only 18 cities could make the same claim.
But Seattle's 19th place finish is somewhat suspect. First, The Daily Beast changed the rules: The scoring system no longer takes into account deaths from liver disease, and the stats are weighted differently this year. The average number of drinks consumed per person each month now counts more than the percentage of heavy drinkers, meaning adults who comply with the common recommendation to improve heart health by drinking one glass of wine a day - a very Seattle thing to do - are considered bipedal evidence of drunkeness. (The average Seattleite has 14.1 drinks a month, up slightly from 12.59 drinks a month in 2010. In Boston, the very drunkest city, the figure is 15.5 drinks a month.)
And second, in addition to cities shimmying all over the drunkeness gauge, a few cities vanished altogether in 2011. How reliable is a list of drunken cities which doesn't include New Orleans?
More reliable than one might think, says a drinker who should know. Cocktail writer Wayne Curtis, a resident of New Orleans, protests that the term "drunken" is pejorative, and suggestive of an amateurism that might prevail in Reno (the nation's fourth drunkest city) or Burlington, Vt. (tenth) but doesn't characterize the Big Easy's boozers.
"If people know how to do anything here, it's drink and stay in control," Curtis e-mails. "Most locals know how to hold their liquor -- compared to visitors who get giddy and stupid when they first discover 24 hour bars and lax open-container laws. New Orleanians are not drunk. They're genteely inebriated."

Well, sort of Art Nouveau. Loved doing those lines for her hair, there's just something beautiful about drawing a bajillion lines. For the background, used the Deco Tool, which I haven't used before. Really useful for circumstances like this. If anyone wants a wallpaper of this, just ask me!

Catholic Channel
Ever-Present Yes: An Interview with Fr. Robert Barron on "Catholicism; A Journey to the Heart of the Faith"
I think that modernity captivated our culture with the promise that the past could be dispensed with; or rather than looking to the past for what we have learned, we should lose ourselves in a march toward a future that is yet to be realized. Despite the hypnotic allure of this promise, it ultimately proves to be empty. The past is in us, and to reject the past without discrimination is to empty our lives of truths that are essential. The past is not a bad thing; it is in fact a wonderful resource for us in the present and for the future. I think that we can extend Pope Benedict's recent insights about a hermeneutic of continuity to the value that Catholicism places on "never throwing anything out." The Church rejects the rupture that modernity insists that we accept in regard to the relationship of the past to the present and the future.
You make an argument for God's existence here; you describe Mary as the summation of Israel. You explain how art and beauty is part of this prolongation of the Incarnation. What I took from this book was something very warm and joyful—a continual gathering, or drawing in; a continual invitation that confers meaning on all people, all things, all events and leads us to one joyful and ecstatic moment of affirmation. Catholicism, then, is a giant and echoing "Yes," reverberating from the moment of creation, described in Genesis, and relayed from Mary's fiat?
Yes! Catholicism is about God's "yes" and it presents humanity at the fullest realization of who God intends for us to be when our response to God's yes is "fiat." Let your "yes" be accomplished in me, in the Church, in the culture! This is why the Mother of God is the paradigmatic expression of the Christian life.
Is it, in the end, all about willingness? Our willingness to respond "yes" to God's ever-present "yes"? That is, ultimately, the heart of the faith toward which we journey?
Precisely. A lot of Christians stumble in attempts to attain a worthiness before the Lord that he does not require. The saints know better. They know that none of us is worthy and yet Christ chooses us to be bearers of his own divine life. What is a seemingly insurmountable obstacle for us is nothing at all for him. Christ makes what is impossible, possible. His Grace is transformative and will take what we are, change us, and bring us to the fulfillment of the purpose for which he created us. On our part we must be willing to accept his invitation, his great, resounding "Yes." Catholicism at its best is our response in the affirmative to God's great "yes" to us.
Again, Father, I can't praise the book enough and will happily and passionately promote it; I found it to be downright miraculous. You invite the reader into mystery and then break it down so amiably; there is nothing pedantic about this book—as my auntie would say, "it's not high-falutin'"—and yet within it you encourage us to ponder this great, empathic positivity in ways that are exciting and exhaustive but not at all exhausting. Rather we are energized and ignited. Thank you very much for being willing to write it—to help map out this adult journey for us, and for taking the time to enlarge on some of those themes for our readers here at Patheos.

in response to cfanycMy stuff plays back just fine on my mini and iMac-including hi def content.
Can't imagine what the issue is on your system.
Edmund Pirali Aug 29, 2009 9:20 PM
in response to cfanyc HelpfulHave you tried looking at the CPU usage in activity monitor to make sure something is not eating up your CPU in the background?
cfanyc Aug 30, 2009 4:37 PM
in response to Edmund PiraliI'll do that and report back. Originally I thought maybe it was because my media in on an external drive, but I copied it over to the mini and tried there, and same choppy playback.
cfanyc Aug 30, 2009 4:43 PM
in response to cfanycHmmm looks like Safari was eating up 250mb of memory (via activity monitor) killing that greatly improved playback.
Odd though, as I've always had Safari open in the past.
Lucideye Aug 31, 2009 8:14 AM
in response to cfanycNo, you're not wrong. All my HD iTunes content on all 3 of my Mac's now look like it's HD being streamed from the internet with insufficient bandwidth. Dropping frames like crazy, especially on panning.
All was well with 10.5.7... which I plan to go back to. It appears Snow Leopard might also be called OSXme
Digger Phelps Sep 14, 2009 11:22 PM
in response to cfanycI play a lot of HD video on my MacBook hooked up to an external display. Every file 1280x720 and under played without issue with Tiger and Leopard. One week ago, I installed Snow Leopard. I figured that with Grand Central Dispatch, I could have improved playback. However, the opposite has been true. My 1280x720 .mkv files are choppy in VLC, and even more so in Quicktime (via Perian). Furthermore, 1080p files from apple.com/trailers played fine before Snow Leopard, but now those .mov files are choppy in Quicktime.
This is extremely frustrating because my MacBook is my primary media player, and it has been rendered useless by Snow Leopard.
friedom Oct 10, 2009 7:53 AM
in response to Digger PhelpsI have similar issues. On my MacBook 2.0Ghz, 3GB RAM, GMA950 (I know). . . I didn't have issues with Frontrow, VLC, or Plex playing back video files under Leopard. On every single movie I play that has panning, there is a noticeable skip or chop during playback which is annoying. When I start playback on anything in Frontrow, there is a long pause before it starts. This happens with previews, podcasts (small, large, and HD), all of my video content, and definitely my MKV files. I never had any of these issues under Leopard.
I admit that I was excited about Snow Leopard and jumped on it the moment it was released. For the past two-three years I have enjoyed OS X so much and never regretted "switching". This is the first time I have felt the frustrations I used to experience on a regular basis with my old platform. Instead of just using and enjoying my Mac, I'm constantly looking for fixes, troubleshooting, and debating whether to downgrade my OS. I'm even implementing workarounds for things that just used to work. I even have considered replacing equipment such as a 1.5yr old printer just to get it more compatible with the new OS, where it used to work great in Leopard. The only thing stopping me from going back to Leopard is time. I don't want to spend an entire day reinstalling apps, OS, user settings, etc. . . I've been using Snow Leopard for over a month and all I look forward to is that magic update that will somehow fix these issues.
16:9 Oct 28, 2009 9:59 PM
in response to cfanycGetting choppy web video (and sound) too. (Snow Leopard 6.1, iMac 27", factory install)
I notice that Flash Player plugin immediately jumps to 126.8% of CPU usage when I try to play videos off Vimeo, for example.
Safari 4.0.3 (came installed on machine)
Flash Player plugin v. 10.0 r32 (came installed on machine)
Video card: ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 Mbytes RAM (as from factory)
Broadband download speed is 13 Mbits/s (and probably irreleveant, since the video/sound is choppy even when video is fully downloaded.
Disk available is about 85% (840 G)
Memory usage is about 25% (1G) free
Ironically - even the Flash Player 10 demo video at Adobe skips and jumps....
Maybe Flash Player 10 doesn't recognize the Radeon hardware acceleration and is trying to do it all in the main CPU?
Mayur21 Nov 8, 2009 2:39 PM
in response to 16:9I am also getting sad playback on my video files, and not just HD. I noticed stuttering and dropped frames on a couple of non hd vids. It's especially noticeable during panning. I have tried both the integrated and discrete video card, and vlc and quicktime (with perian). QT is considerably worse than VLC. I have also tried playing through Boxee (which i think uses vlc in background), but to the same result.
Kind of sad cause I got the new MBP with the souped up vid card specifically to be able to handle HD content. I guess it sounds like the hardware is fine, but the software (SL) is screwing things up. Guess like all you folks, I am twiddling my thumbs until apple releases an update, or one of you geniuses figures out a work around...
GuiphMonan Nov 15, 2009 6:46 AM
in response to friedomHi,
Same problem here, I'm unable to play video nicely as it was with leopard.
Very annoying.
Have a macook code 2 duo 2ghz, 2 Go ram and GMA 950.
I am really looking for a fix.
oliverj Dec 12, 2009 2:58 PM
in response to cfanycMany have suggested that some choppy playback issues (for in-browser playback) are related to the Adobe Flash plugin.
Adobe has released a new version of the Flash plugin this week, which may perform better (although I can't confirm that the problem has gone away completely).
Here are some steps to follow to cleanly update your Flash:
1) Download the Flash plugin un-installer from Abobe, available at: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
2) Close all browsers on your machine and run the Abobe Flash plugin un-installer you downloaded for your platform.
3) Open your browser and reinstall the Adobe Flash plugin (v.10.0.42.34 or greater), available from Adobe at: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
4) After the installation, close and re-open your browser, then try playing back some Flash video at YouTube or wherever...
Hopefully this works. Good luck.
mat0li Dec 12, 2009 7:58 PM
in response to cfanycNoticed the same problem on my Mac Mini 2.26 GHz 4GB RAM with EyeTV under Snow Leopard.
As the mini is used as my primary Media Center I reinstalled it with Leopard 10.5.8 and everything went back to normal again.
I will not upgrade again before a fix is introduced, it is just to much work involved for something that should "Just work".
ayzee88 Feb 1, 2010 2:49 PM
in response to cfanycI have had this choppy video problem ever since I had to have my hard drive replaced, and I installed snow leopard clean. Any HD video i watch drops frames, and it's worse in vlc compared to QuickTime.
I never had this problem on my old Hard drive which had snow leopard upgraded from leopard.
I have tried everything! It's so annoying because I have a very capable machine.
QuickTime x seems pretty janky, so apple need to update this and stope relying on QuickTime 7 to play files
Paul Vail Apr 6, 2010 5:03 PM
in response to cfanycSame issue here. FrontRow video grossly choppy for some m4v files but not others. Both copied from my masters in the same manner. Really unpleasant experience with snow leopard.

Big League Stew
The Walk Off: Mets ride historic 12-run inning to victoryMark Townsend at Big League Stew9 hrs ago
Welcome to The Walk Off, the nightly MLB recap from Big League Stew. Here we'll look at the top performers of the night, show you a must-see highlight and rundown the scoreboard. First, we start with a game you need to know about.
The New York Mets offense remained red hot on Friday, scoring a team-record 12 runs in the third inning to help them securea 13-1 blowout victory against the San Francisco Giants.
Not surprisingly, it was Yoenis Cespedes who led the historic charge. In the third inning alone, he collected six RBIs. That included a two-run single early in the frame, and it concluded with a 355-foot grand slam that may go down as his shortest home run of the season.

Would Dee Gordon have caught Jonathan Lucroy's no-hitter spoiler?Mark Townsend at Big League Stew10 hrs ago
The Miami Marlins needed something positive on Friday to take their minds off Dee Gordon's 80-game PED suspension.
Enter 26-year-old left-hander Adam Conley, who answered the call by nearly making history.
[Related: Bryce Harper doesn't want Dee Gordon's 2015 batting championship]
Making only his 16th career start, Conley fired 7 2/3 innings of no-hit baseball in Miami's 6-3 win against the Milwaukee Brewers. The only thing that stood between him and a chance at history was his high pitch count. Manager Don Mattingly elected to pull Conley with 116 pitches, leaving it up to reliever Jose Urena to record the final four outs.
Ironically, it turns out the only thing that may have kept Urena from completing history was Dee Gordon's absence. With one out in the ninth inning, Jonathan Lucroy broke up the no-no with a soft pop up to short right field that just barely eluded the reach of new second baseman Derek Dietrich.Sat, 30 Apr7:10 PM EDTMiami at MilwaukeePreview Game
Bryce Harper doesn't want Dee Gordon's 2015 batting championshipMark Townsend at Big League Stew13 hrs ago
Like everyone else, Washington Nationals superstar Bryce Harper had a few thoughts about Dee Gordon's 80-game suspension stemming from a positive test for two banned d rugs, exogenous Testosterone and Clostebol .
Speaking to the media before Friday's game in St. Louis, Harper expressed surprise and disappointment in Gordon, whom he also cited as one of the most exciting players to watch and play against.
[Passan: The sad case of Dee Gordon, another unlikely PED user for MLB]
Nothing out of the ordinary or too controversial there. The general consensus has been along those very same lines, so Harper just followed suit.
The media had another question on its mind though. They were curious whether Harper feels slighted now after losing last season's NL batting championship to Gordon by a mere three points. The obvious inclination being that the outcome may have been manipulated if Gordon had one or both banned drugs in his system at any point last season.
Diamondbacks offer entertaining response to uniform criticismMark Townsend at Big League Stew15 hrs ago
When the Arizona Diamondbacks unveiled new uniforms back in December, they did so acknowledging that they were being aggressive. According to team president and CEO Derrick Hall, they were aiming to create a style that had never been seen before, while finding a way to appeal to all segments of the fan base.
"We always challenge ourselves to make sure that we are as pioneering and as innovating as any team in sports — we try to be," Hall said at the time. "We looked at an opportunity when it comes to baseball to really advance the look of uniforms.

Rapper Warren G totally butchered 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame'Mike Oz at Big League Stew16 hrs ago
Before he took the microphone at Wrigley Field, the most embarrassing thing rapper/producer Warren G had done musically was utter this lyric: "What's next? What's next? What's N-X-E-T." But he might have sunk even lower than that on Friday when he sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch at the Chicago Cubs game.
[Previously: We named the worst seventh inning stretch singers in Wrigley history]
He totally butchered it. Like, they were booing him within 10 seconds. It was bad from the first bar. He said "Take me to the ballgame" and ... nope, just nope. It just got more uncomfortable from there.
Just look at this lady. She was having none of it:

How players can test positive for PEDs after having sexMike Oz at Big League Stew18 hrs ago
Over the years, we've heard a variety of excuses from athletes about how or why they got caught using performance-enhancing drugs. But there's a really great one that we're surprised we haven't heard yet and it has to do with sex.
[From Jeff Passan: The sad case of Dee Gordon, another unlikely PED user for MLB]
All-Star second baseman Dee Gordon was suspended for PEDs early Friday morning after Major League Baseball found two drugs, exogenous testosterone and clostebol, in his system. The penalty is 80 games. He later released a statement confirming the positive test, but said the substances were in his body unknowingly.Sat, 30 Apr6:10 PM EDTToronto at Tampa BayPreview Game
This idea could make MLB's replay reviews a lot more interestingLiz Roscher at Big League Stew19 hrs ago
During the Colorado Rockies' game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night, a replay challenge in the second inning grinded the action to a halt for nearly five minutes. The Rockies thought Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison had violated the new slide rule (which he hadn't). While umpires tried to sort things out, an article came to mind that ESPN's Jayson Stark had recently written about replay challenges during the 2016 season.
[Elsewhere: Does baseball need harsher punishments for PED violations?]
In the story, Stark reported that replay challenges are up 35 percent from this time a year ago, with a big jump in reviews of force-outs and tag plays. As he often does, Stark jumped on Twitter to discuss this with interested fans, and that produced a very interesting idea.
Yasiel Puig has great response for Jared Goff's years-old Twitter dissMike Oz at Big League Stew19 hrs ago
In some corners of the Internet, people like to dig up old tweets from public figures at inopportune times for a few seconds of social-media attention.

Nationals slumping at plate, sizzling on mound and seeking clarityKyle Ringo at Big League Stew20 hrs ago
The next month — heck, the next 10 games — should tell us whether the Washington Nationals are a true contender this season in the National League or if they are a club entirely too reliant on reigning NL MVP Bryce Harper. The Nationals are 14-7 and in first place in the NL East as they begin what looks like a brutal 10-game road trip with stops in St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago. The Cardinals are always tough, the Royals are the defending champs and the Cubs are the preseason favorite to win the World Series and have done nothing to change that perception in the opening month. But who are the Nationals? It seems clear from a look at the numbers so far, they aren't who they appear to be. Their 55 runs allowed are the fewest in baseball. Their 82 runs scored are far short of the elite contender some believed them to be.

so time for a new thread for anyone who is trying to get fit, lose weight etc.
feel free to join and share your progress.
Just saw the ad for that exercise tape. I gotta say, I've been generally disappointed with any ab workouts that promise "flat sexy abs". It's so laughable that spot reduction is still used as a selling point for fitness stuff! (Spot reduction is the idea that exercizing muscles of particular area will cause fat loss in that area.)
The sad truth is, abdominal workouts, no matter how good, simply can't give a person flat abs specifically. Exercise, combined with diet will help the body burn fat for energy, but where that fat comes from is determined for the most part by genetics, hormones and age. It sucks, but it's true.
This is not to discourage anyone from doing those tapes. Ab-targeted workouts can give you stronger and more defined abdominal muscles, which is a fantastic thing in and of itself, of course. And they can improve your posture and balance. And any exercise does burn calories, which is great as well for general weight loss.
But the only thing that can give you "flat sexy abs" is a dedicated fat loss regimen of regular exercise and proper diet. And for that, it simply makes no sense to exercise one muscle group and not any of the others!

Amy, diet pepsi is worse than regular. Can you maybe switch to a healthier soda? Or even some juice mixed with sparkling water or even a throw back soda? Not saying a throwback is healthy, but not quite as bad as diet. Those fake sugars are so horrible. My DIL grew up on diet sodas and has been having a difficult time weaning off of it. She bought a soda stream. I thought they were kind of stupid, but have seen where it's helped a lot of people. It seems to be helping her kick the habit.

Flat abs, ahh, a thing of the past. I not only had flat abs, they were concave. Weighing 89lbs does that. Plus, my belly button was an outie, and now it's not. I do think genetics play a role in it. I work hard not to look like my grandmother who I seem to take after. As I grew up, everyone would say, oh my gosh, she looks just like mary. And I'd think, oh my gosh, I will never look like that. LOL! Dang it, got into my 40's and it started coming. Although I'm not wearing those awful shifts with my hose rolled down to my ankles. LOL! Even my hair is graying somewhat like hers. Although she was gray early, and I am graying late. My younger sister grayed ten years ahead of me. Have no idea what's behind that one. Think I take after my Dad, he died with very few gray hairs at age 59.

It would be fun to dig out pictures showing the progression of age of my tummy/body. LOL! Or sad. The thing is, my tummy is smooth, no stretch marks or anything. If I could just skim it a bit I could go back to a comfy two piece, that isn't a tankini.

Aiden 12/10/2008
Jill, see -- that's where ab workouts will not help you. General weight loss might, but you will find that belly fat will be a lot harder to take off, and that's mostly because of age and nothing else!
Your body is producing less estrogen now, so you tend to put on weight more like a guy -- around the chest and gut, rather than like a girl, around the bottom of the stomach and the thighs. So that fat will be the most stubborn one:(
But I don't think you should chase after that two-piece. Just get fit and stay healthy inside and out. None of us here are after winning beauty contests -- health is the single most important thing!
And really -- if you think two-piece swimsuits are comfy, just go ahead and WEAR ONE, and everyone else can keep their opinions to themselves! Life is too short to wear uncomfortable swimsuits :D

LOL, yeah, it's a mental thing with me. One of those things that is hard for me to accept. I think also it's due to where I live, the lifestyle that surrounds me. I may wear a two piece, after losing a few more lbs. I was almost there before. I was so proud, I pranced around, (got those words from you, ha) the house in a two piece showing off. But then was afraid to go outside that way. I'm such a nerd. Dh said he was fine with it, and tries to get me to at least wear a two piece in the yard. Maybe in 10lbs less.
Yeah, some things are just inevitable but I've never been good about accepting my body. It's the way I grew up, I'm quite sure of that. I see my mother, once maybe twice a year, and she still makes comments about my body.

I think overall toning is good too. Might not change the weight, as more muscle is more weight, but toned looks a bit better. Upper arms is an issue with older women, mostly anyway.

The only thing that got rid of my belly fat was going paleo. Even when I was skinny I always had a protruding tummy and love handles. Exercise didn't work, I used to work out a lot, at least two hours a day (as a teenager) I was obsessive. It was really unhealthy for me to be that way. (I'm obsessive about everything).
When I cut grains out, the tummy went away (and it was after having babies, too).
I do think diet plays a huge roll in it, many, many people on the paleo diet profess to the same results. You're right, Anansy, it didn't matter how much various exercise programs I did, or how frequent, the only thing that helped was changing my diet.

Yeah, I don't expect to get flat abs from just working out to a video, but after doing HHA for a month, it does seem like a good way to get me off of my butt for a half hour a day more than I used to. The videos don't just work out your abs. There are different videos than just the ab sculpt. I just did the total body burn yesterday.
That being said, I agree, diet is key. I need to find something I will stick to diet wise. And yes, I know diet is worse than regular pop, but ironically I can't stand the sugary sweetness of regular, so I'm trying to wean myself toward just water. I don't really like juice, or juice in water, so that is not appealing to me either.

ULM names Peddie permanent head baseball coach
MONROE, La. (AP) — Louisiana-Monroe athletic director Brian Wickstrom says he's removing the "interim" tag from baseball coach Bruce Peddie's job title.
Peddie's promotion to permanent status comes after 28 games with the interim title. He's gone 14-14 since taking over a club that started 8-17.
This marks Peddie's second Division I head coaching job. However, his first came with New Orleans when that school's athletic program was in turmoil several years after Hurricane Katrina and operating under a since-abandoned plan to downgrade to Division III.
In 2013, shortly after New Orleans had recommitted to remaining in Division I, Peddie was fired and replaced by former longtime Privateers coach Ron Maestri.
Before coming to New Orleans, Peddie spent 11 seasons at Shippensburg (Pa.), leading that program to a Division II College World Series appearance.

where is the render files saved, provide the complete path to the render folder
Mike Janowski Jun 13, 2012 7:16 AM
in response to Gary Scotland
As I mentioned above, not set up to "best practice" (eg, media separate from app):
(HD)\User\Documents\FinalCutPro Documents.
This concerns me, of course. But I'm posting now because it's behaving differently now (2 years into our run) than it did when I first began editing on this system.
Gary Scotland Jun 14, 2012 7:30 AM
in response to Mike Janowski
Im confused how your Mac Pro is set up
This should be:
the system boot drive containing the OS, applications and your FCP project files.
the internal Raid which is a separate physical drive from the boot drive containing the scratch disc folder
see the Edit Smarter web page on how best to configure FCP here:
I would suggest deleting FCP preferences as per Digital Rebellions Preference Manager
I would further suggest buying and running Disc Warrior on all your drives regularly:
Mike Janowski Jun 14, 2012 7:44 AM
in response to Gary Scotland
OK...I know the "shoulds", and while I use Disc Warrior religiously at home, I leave maintenence at this client's facility to those who get paid to do it here (I'm a mere freelancer without an admin login).
What I'd like to get out of this post and discussion is...
is the fact that ALL data, apps, prefs AND media reside on the same logical unit (the RAID5 which occupies all four physical slots in the computer) the reason I'm losing render files? And if so, what is the mechanism behind this mystery?
Mike Janowski Jun 14, 2012 7:50 AM
in response to Mike Janowski
To clarify Gary, the machine is set up simply (and incorrectly, according to best practice): the tower has 4 physical 1TB drives striped into a RAID5 array, giving 2.61 TB of usable space. All files (system AND media) are on this RAID. I have an external server attached via ethernet which is used soley for backup storage. That's pretty much it...

Cant guarantee this but this sounds like a disaster!
Every competant advice I have seen suggests the following:
read Larry Jordan's advise (setting scratch disc)
Final Cut application installed on boot drive
boot drive has OS installed, applications and project files
project files backed up daily to a separate back up drive
project files are the .fcp files that are saved from FCP when File > save as
scratch disc folder located on the media drive not on the boot drive
media drive is physically separate from boot drive and offers sufficient throughput for the CODEC being used

in response to Gary Scotland
I think you have enough "evidence" from both your posts, to go to your bosses and get things changed in your system set up. Good luck with it.
Mike Janowski Jun 18, 2012 7:57 AM
in response to David Mclaine
Thanks. Yeah, the memo trail has started...for the time being, I'm just changing my sequence settings to match my clip settings. This should at least make the rendering process smoother (and less necessary), and will certainly speed things up a bit. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Mike Janowski Jun 18, 2012 8:00 AM
in response to Gary Scotland
@Gary S - I'm an LJ subscriber. My system at home is set up according to best practice. However, out in the marketplace at this particular client, I am an editor, not tech support, and thus can only advise them, and not just "do stuff" to their computers. Capiche?
heathfranklin Nov 2, 2012 8:00 AM
in response to Mike Janowski
hi mike, did you ever figure this out? i'm having the same problem and it's getting worse. i'll save a project and then re-open it immediately and most of the render files are gone. no change in scratch disk or anything else. i like to add color correction (LUT's which require lots of rendering) after a rough edit so nesting isn't really an option as i'm still editing.
i have 7.0.3
system SSD with OS and apps
internal RAID (scratch) with multiple 1TB drives (RAID 0)
dual quad 2.26
gt 120 and gtx 285
Michael Grenadier Nov 2, 2012 8:07 AM
in response to heathfranklin Helpful
The one thing that occurs to me is whether the system is connected to a network. If so, I'd try disconnecting and see if that solves the problem.
Also, do the renders actually disappear or do they simply become disconnected? I know that it's usually not possible to "reconnect" renders, but this will give us a clue.
Also, I wonder whether it's an issue with the raid. Since the OP also had a raid. Why not get an external firewire drive and try setting that up as your render scratch disk? I realize that the thruput might not be ideal, but as a troubleshooting step it would be extremely useful. If the renders do NOT disappear from the external firewire drive, the problem is almost definitely something in the raid setup.
Michael Grenadier Nov 2, 2012 8:12 AM
in response to Michael Grenadier
also, the first troubelshooting step is to reset the fcp preferences
and here are some other troubleshooting tips
Mike Janowski Nov 2, 2012 8:50 AM
in response to Michael Grenadier
@ Heath, no, never did actually "solve" the problem, however, minimized the amount of rendering needed during edit by correcting our edit workflow to stay in XDCAM EX (1920x1080i) all the way through the edit, converting to (required by the mothership) 1440x1080i XDCAM HD for "feed" to the playout server, etc.
@ Michael, a useful suggestion, sir, to set up a temp external rendering disc...I have one I can donate to the cause for the time being and will check.
System is of course connected to a network (isn't everyone?), no getting around that...I'll just render to a specific disc first and see if the files actually "disappear" or if they just disconnect, and report back.
And, thanks for the troubleshooting links. As might be noted by my silence, system behaves much better (not perfect, but then neither were the builders of said computer...) by simply editing in our shooting codec. Like they say, put the square peg in the square hole...

So my computer was running slow the other night so I decided to uninstall some unnecessary programs. Not knowing I uninstalled SigmaTel Audio, which turned out to be my Audio Driver!
Now I have no sound and when after downloading the driver off Dell (or another source) and trying to install it, I get the following message:
"Device Object not present, restart the system and restart again."
I've restarted my computer but still no luck! Even though my computer is running faster, the lack of sound is killing me! So if anyone can tell me what this "Device Object" is and how I can fix my problem, possibly step-by-step, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!

Commenting on the revival of activity, cotton analyst, Naseem Usman said that the cautious buying was seen as mills showed interest in fresh purchasing of cotton. But it was very much clear that prices were steady on the back of ginners' strategy, who did not lower asking prices due to quality factor, he said. He said that gas supply in Sindh was interrupted twice a week, which will keep mills closed and that is not an encouraging factor under the circumstances.
According to the Reuters, the US cotton fell on technical selling as the market broke below a short-term trendline after US data showed a 36 percent drop in exports and Beijing confirmed the world's largest textile market will sell some of its massive reserves of fibers. The most-active March cotton contract on ICE Futures US settled down 0.34 cent, or 0.45 percent, at 75.05 cents per lb.
Prices had been close to one-month lows at 73.72 cents and on track for their biggest daily drop in six weeks until a late flurry of buying helped prices recover some lost ground shortly before settlement. The following deals were reported: 400 bales of cotton from Tando Adam at Rs 5400, 1000 bales from Upper Sindh (BCI) at Rs 6100, 400 bales from Yazman Mandi at Rs 5850, 400 bales from Faqir Wali at Rs 5900, 400 bales from Bahawal Nagar at Rs 5900, 400 bales from Vehari at Rs 5900, 800 bales from Hasilpur at Rs 5900-5950, 400 bales from Burewala at Rs 5915, 200 bales from Dera Ghazi Khan at Rs 5950, 400 bales from Madrasa at Rs 5950, 200 bales from Fazilpur at Rs 6050, 1000 bales from Rahimyar Khan at Rs 6050-6100, 200 bales from Shadan Lund at Rs 6100 and 1200 bales from Khanpur at Rs 6100, they said.

Hi ladies! My ods(8) is getting a DS for X-mas. I'd like to get a learning system for my Auggie. Does anyone have a Leapster 2 or Mobigo? What do you like/dislike about them? Which would you recommend? Any advice/help would be great!

Do. Or do not. There is no try
My son got the leapster last year for Christmas and we upgraded to the Explorer for his birthday. He loves his Explorer. The graphics are really good on the Explorer and the games he has so far are pretty good. His 2 favorites are the penguin of madagascar game and a train game that you can buy with the leaplet that comes with the handset. He loves to take goofy pictures and the explorer has an attachment for purchase that turns it into a camera where they can edit them sort of like you can do with the DS. I really don't know much about the Mobigo so I can't tell you if one is better than the other but so far the Explorer has been a hit here.

Yeah, I was going to say go for a DS! Rachel's been using DH's old one (DH wanted the Lite or whatever the newer one was a couple years ago) for probably well over a year now. She takes care of puppies in Nintendogs, plays My Little Pony and Zhu Zhu pets, and plays Tetris, as well as some brain teaser/puzzle type games and a cooking game that I don't know the name of (DH is the gamer...he's the one in charge of checking content and managing her games!). She loves it. Now if only she'd quit losing the stylus. So I have no idea about the Leapster or the Mobigo (other than Thomas loves playing with the testers in Target!). But if your ods and your Auggie like the same type of games, maybe get them both a DS and let them share the games/accessories?
Rachel 8/26/05
Thomas� 8/12/09
Thanks for the ideas ladies! Now I'm bummed I didn't jump on the $25 deal on Amazon! The leapster sounds great and I'm sure he'd love it.
Kristin- He'd probably like the DS, but I just don't think he's mature enough to take care of it. I like the indestructibility(Is that a word?) of the Leapster.
Do. Or do not. There is no try
My daughter loves her Leapster 2!
Kristi - mom to Maggie 8.3.05; Josie 7.20.09
Thank you! Does anyone else 'plant' gift ideas in their children's head of what you'd like them to have? I just know he'd feel slighted when big brother gets a DS, so I try to 'sell' him on a Leapster or similar system. Now he thinks it's HIS idea, lol! I'm torn between the Leapster and the explorer...
Do. Or do not. There is no try
We got my DS a Leapster when he was 3 and he still uses it. Every game has levels of play so that they grow with the child. We use it on long car trips and it's been very durable. We did lose one game to a glue stick mishap (if that's what you want to call him putting glue stick all over the cartridge lol)
As far as the DS goes, we explained to my son that you have to be at least 7 to have a DS. lol He asked about it after seeing a commercial this year. I definately plant gift ideas.

HBHS overrun by RebelsPublished 10:09am Monday, January 6, 2014
Despite a valiant effort, the Horseshoe Bend Generals couldn't slow down the Reeltown Rebels, as they dropped their 12th straight game.
Reeltown prevailed handily, 60-26.
Slow starts plagued both teams in the opening period, as Reeltown only put up three points in the first three minutes of the game.
However, D'angelo Dancy and C.J. Bell powered a torrid close to the quarter, and despite the Generals closing the opening frame with three field goals, the Rebels went into the second quarter up 16-7.
At this point, the game swung in favor of the Rebels for good, as a frenzied pace allowed them to increase their lead to 15.
"This comes with experience, but sometimes we get caught up in how the other team plays," HBHS basketball coach Mike Boyd said. "In any kind of athletic venue, you have to set your own tempo, and you can't let the other team dictate the tempo."
Boyd added that when Reeltown was able to impose its play style, the Generals were effectively taken out of their gameplan.
"When they got in a hurry, all of a sudden we got in a hurry, and we're not nearly as good when we're not taking our time," he said. "But I can't say anything negative about them, because they are doing the best they can do."
The Rebels continued to build their lead in the third quarter, as the period saw Reeltown light up the scoreboard as the Rebels eventually out-scored HBHS 27-3.
"They beat us with athleticism – running and jumping," Boyd said. "That's just a big advantage, but a lot of their athletes are pretty good ball players. They try really hard, they hustle and they do what I ask them to do. We're doing the best we can. Of course I hate to lose, but sometimes you just can't help it."
Despite the setback, Boyd said he was noticing areas of improvement in regards to the Generals.
"We're doing things to get a shot quicker than we normally would," he said. "But we have to get better, and any time we play a game like this, the experience makes a difference."
Cody Denham led the Generals with eight points. Tyus Ford and Kurtis Smothers each added six points.
C.J. Bell was the high point-scorer for the Rebels, netting 11. Ed Carraker scored 10 points for RHS, and Bradley McKeithen and Dancy each added nine points.
HBHS returns to action on Jan. 7, when it hosts Park Crossing High School.

text: I had my first experience with running for a light rail train today. I got across the street from the Columbia City station just as the train was pulling up, waited a pause to let the train headed in the opposite direction leave, then made a break for it, grabbing my Ocra card out of my purse. I waved the scanner with my card as I ran past and just missed the mark. So I doubled back and scanned it more carefully. That's when I got the message that the machine was faulty. I had two choices: find another machine, or forget about it and run. I ran. Good thing the fare inspectors that have been roaming the trains have been satisfied merely to see an Orca card, rather than scan it to confirm that a fare was actually paid, as they have promised to do. Presumably, they'll wait until they've worked out all their mechanical problems.

Ages on Filler Characters
As rare as this is, I'm concerned that there is false info. Where are the ages for the filler characters of this arc coming from? Namely, Miina, Leo, Dokku and Shiseru. I might have missed something while watching the recent episode though that seems highly unlikely. I just want to know the source before someone deletes it. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 20:16, December 7, 2012 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- It comes from their profiles on TV Tokyo website. [1] --The Goblin 20:20, December 7, 2012 (UTC)

Episode 3 question
Why is the article blank for it and everytime I click on its talk page it crashes my browser? It looks horrible having it blank and on home page of this wiki.--220.127.116.11 (talk) 09:18, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

Are We Almost There?
is a fast-paced, funny original musical revue about travel.
