When you love somebody you want to get them a good gift, and fitness gadgets could enhance their life. So many people get this idea and have no idea of what to buy to give the gift of fitness. The first thing to understand is to not buy anything you can not try! So many infomercial and internet brands dazzle people into spending their hard earned money and wasting their heart felt intentions on lies and false promises.
This list is a group of products to go and try at a specialty fitness store. There is no way to list all the good ones but this should be a good jumping off point! If you have never been in a specialty fitness store, this link will show you what one looks like.
True ES900
The True ES900 is the flagship of the top rated True family of treadmills. This treadmill line can fit every fitness need. If you think you can try a True and not love it your thoughts are false, HA HA!
The WaterRower is a great gift of a low impact full body workout machine! This gift can have a duel purpose. The soothing sounds of this workout are great to nap with, while your loved one works out!
Cascade CMX Pro Power bike
Indoor cycling is a great workout and has been very popular for cycle enthusiasts to supplement their outdoor workouts. Some of the drawbacks on indoor bikes were the lack of power measurement, a rough ride, and no quantifiable workout levels. This 16 resistance level, power measuring marvel has hit the mark and then some!
The Chairmaster
The Chairmaster is a great unit for the active senior population. You can use it as a regular chair and put the bike away, or you can use it as a comfortable bike. The unit also comes with multiple pull points and resistance bands. This is a non-intimidating way to keep your loved ones mobile!
TuffStuff 6 pak
This compact powerhouse can work out every muscle group in a 3 x 4 foot area. Think of a exercise and this unit can do it! Resistance training is very important and this unit can do it all! This link shows some of the exercises.

Found a way to change your player model for cut sceens, not sure if it's been posted before, sorry I don't have the time to look through this whole post.
In the extdata folder with all the .npc files there is one called player.npc in it it has a line "playermodel player" all you have to do is change the 'player' to any model that you have in the base folder. For eg: playermodel ep1_obi and it will change your character in the cut sceens.
also just though I'd mention with changing character skins/models in SP all you have to do is change a line in the .npc file for the character you want to change. For eg: If you wanted to change Luke for quigon. put the quigon.pk3 into the base folder, extract the luke.npc and open it with notepad. The first line in the luke.npc file is playermodel luke all you have to do is change 'luke' to read 'quigon' (playermodel quigoin) pack the luke.npc file back up and pop it into your base folder. Luke will now be quigon.

The newly formed Verification Division of Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CDN) (Nasdaq: CDN) today outlined its strategy for "enterprise" verification process automation (VPA). Cadence's enterprise VPA strategy will manage and link design and verification specialists and offer users an optimal blend of e, SystemVerilog and SystemC languages. The strategy mirrors market-tested approaches established by leading enterprise software companies such as SAP and Oracle.
To support this strategy, Cadence will develop a layered set of verification capabilities optimized for various market segments. Each layer will include unique process-automation capabilities that link and manage the activities of multiple design and verification specialists from plan to closure across block, chip and system levels.
"With the recent acquisition of Verisity, Cadence will now offer enterprise-level verification solutions based on a comprehensive methodology," said Ari Cohen, vice president of Hardware Engineering and Operations, Silverback Systems. "Ever-increasing complexities combined with shrinking schedules and spec changes are forcing us to automate the entire process. Cadence delivers the foundation we need today while setting the stage for tomorrow."
"Cadence understands that market pressures brought on by complexity require new ways of thinking," said Moshe Gavrielov, executive vice president, Cadence Verification Division. "Typically in EDA, we get caught up at the technology level and tend to lose sight of how to apply it and fundamentally improve the way we do things. The growth of the enterprise business-software market proves that broadening your view beyond databases and software for functional silos can create tremendous value for the customer and accelerate growth within an industry."
Incisive Verification Platform
The Incisive® functional verification platform will include tightly integrated products and methodologies. This will include full integration of the vManager plan and metric-driven verification into the entire Incisive portfolio, teaming the Incisive Unified Simulator (IUS) with Specman Elite® testbench automation, integrating IUS with Xtreme® acceleration, and combining advanced coverage technology into the most comprehensive 'total' coverage environment.
The Incisive platform will be the only solution available that allows specialists to optimally mix e, SystemVerilog, and SystemC languages. More importantly, these offerings will automate each specialist's processes by pairing the user's preferred language or mix of languages with the most comprehensive set of methodologies, technology and verification IP available. Finally, Cadence has outlined plans to further accelerate the e language standardization process as part of the IEEE P1647 working group, with balloting expected as soon as September '05.
"We've been in the crosshairs of language wars and an obsession with engines for years now, so it's nice to see something fresh and focused on solving the real problems," said Sergey Nemanov, verification group manager, SanDisk. "Cadence's plan and metric-driven verification-management approach adds the project-level accountability we need to deliver with confidence, while each specialist has optimized, yet linked solutions for their unique needs."
Vertical Markets Approach
Like enterprise business software, the new Incisive offerings will be tailored to the unique demands of various vertical markets. This will improve time to bring-up, maximize the productivity between diverse teams, establish a level of predictability, and improve quality - from both a hardware and software perspective. This tailoring will be offered in conjunction with other components of vertical "kits" approach from Cadence.
The fully integrated Incisive functional verification platform and enterprise-wide offerings will be rolled out in phases through the end of this year.

The phone rang at 6 am.
"Mom!" Dan said. "I'm about to cross the bridge."
Having just filled out a fourth grader's permission slip, cleared off the breakfast dishes and opened my laptop, I said, "Honey, hi...what time is it out there? Sunrise in the Rockies? Why do you have to go to work so early?" My 26-year-old son, Dan, was a chef in Vail, Colorado. Every day he crossed a bridge to get to his job at a trendy Italian restaurant in the village.
There was a silence.
"So, yeah," Dan said. "I meant the Sagamore Bridge."
Now, the Sagamore Bridge is not in Colorado. It's in Massachusetts, connecting the mainland to Cape Cod, where we live. "I had just enough money left over from my plane ticket to grab the bus from Boston." He paused. "It does look pretty, Mom. The road home always looks the prettiest."
He had me at home.
A half hour later I was at the bus stop, my arms around a son a full foot taller than I and even skinnier than he had been eight months before. "Where's your luggage?" I asked. When he moved west, Dan had mailed boxes.
Another silence.
He'd sold his parka and skis to buy the plane ticket. His roomie had accepted his TV and Xbox in exchange for back rent. Rents out there were high, and while Dan was good at making money, he was even more gifted at spending it.
So, I thought, this made two boomerangs in the basement—grown children who hadn't actually failed to launch but had engine trouble necessitating a speedy re-entry.
I texted the other boomerang. Marty, 23, had lived here his first year out of school. Then, on the verge of amassing the bankroll he would need to move to New York, the next step for a young actor, he'd been T-boned on the way to a rehearsal in Boston, his car totaled, his hand broken in a way that would cost him two surgeries and six months of physical therapy. I'd never been more grateful for my health insurance or for the bunk bed next to the boiler in the little makeshift basement office.
Marty met us at the door. "First of all," he told his brother, "you do your own laundry. No dirty tube socks under the mattress. No pizza boxes on the floor. And second, this room never smells of anything you drink or smoke. And third...good to see you, bro." While Marty, who was neat to the point of neurosis, didn't exactly relish welcoming a slovenly supersaurus into his 8-by-12 space, he and Dan had been best friends all their lives.
By the time the younger kids—six of them, ages six to 17—burst in the door from school, Dan was whipping up homemade tagliatelle with pesto, a peace offering that was both aromatic and incredibly messy.
"Munchkins!" Dan yelled, hugging 14-year-old Merit and literally lifting 13-year-old Mia off the floor.
The little ones were thrilled. My husband, Chris, who walked in a while later, was not.
"How are we going to work this?" he asked—a fair question.
We both glanced at Dan, who by then was sprawled, asleep, on the sofa. When he heard Chris's voice, he woke.
"Pop!" he said, getting up to give Chris a hard hug. Dan may stuff tube socks under the mattress, but his heart is as big as his head. I saw Chris struggle between trepidation and joy that Dan was here and in one piece. Dan had always been the kind of person who seemed less likely to make decisions than to have them happen to him.
"Do you have a plan worked out?" Chris asked.
"Yep," Dan said. "I got my old job back, and I know a guy who has a place at the beach."
Dan always knew a guy.
That night, Marty and Dan climbed into steel bunk beds intended for children and into the calculus of a phenomenon born of prolonged childhoods and hard times. According to a 2012 report from the Pew Research Center, 36 percent of young adults ages 18 to 31 live with their parents for months or years—even after they've finished college and begun working. This percentage has risen steadily since 2007, as the recession deepened.
Rarely is moving back home a matter of choice. Jobs get dicey; debt gets out of hand. When the tipping point comes, the truth of what Robert Frost said is tested: "Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in."
For us, the issue was complicated. Our current house was tiny compared with the sprawling home we'd left in Wisconsin a year before. With Dan in the mix, there would be 10 of us, including two of my three older sons. I had Dan, Marty and the eldest, Rob, with my first husband, who died when I was in my late thirties. After I married Chris three years later, he adopted the older kids, and over the course of our marriage, six more came along. The only one missing now was Rob.
A few days after Dan's arrival, Chris brought a sheaf of printouts to bed. "OK, I've got the gist of the advice on boomerangs. When an adult child comes back, you do a written plan. This can't be open-ended. We have to decide how much grocery money is fair to contribute and how much rent..."
"For a bunk bed in a boiler room?" I asked.
"What he's got is better than nothing," Chris pointed out.
"OK," I said. "You write up the plan for the two of them to sign." I knew that Chris would never get it done, which would give me time to think before I drew up the document myself.
At first, during those balmy spring months, things went well. Dan slept most of the time before his job began in May, but when he was awake, he dressed up the dining. Both of the guys backstopped me, picking up the kids from activities or delivering them to doctor appointments. One afternoon I was stuck in traffic and already 15 minutes late retrieving nine-year-old Will from dodgeball. Everyone knows that helplessness. I pulled over to call my husband, but before I could dial, a text pinged in from Marty: "Got Will." It was good having two more majors to monitor the minors. In the ensuing weeks, Marty, whose injured hand was on the mend, also got our yard in shape. Dan helped Chris chainsaw some deadwood and build a rock wall. Hearing the older sons downstairs, talking and laughing, made our house feel like home again. There was a yin and a yang to that, though. The floor of our bedroom was the ceiling of the room where they slept, which cost us some privacy.
More than once, Chris and I sought time alone. In a twist on a time--honored tradition, we went parking on the far side of our small circular driveway, under cover of some scrubby trees. The irony wasn't lost on us: We weren't kids sneaking away from our parents' house but parents on the lam from our kids' house.
"It's just for a while," I said hopefully. "It'll work out."
But that weekend a former girlfriend of Marty's named Nora, who was also an actor, visited from New York. I fell asleep by 10 pm, as usual. The next morning, however, as Marty rummaged in the fridge for bagels (Nora had daintily decamped to the sofa, where we'd left pillows and blankets for her), Chris said, "Son, your mom tells me I don't know what love is. But now I know what it sounds like."
Marty flushed. He didn't reply, but there were no return engagements.
Then, in late May, Rob, 28, came for a visit from the Midwest, where he still lived. He announced he was heading east—far east—to Japan, as part of that country's program welcoming young Americans, especially those fluent in Japanese (as Rob is), to teach English. With summer in full swing, we had a ball that week, spending family nights on fierce song-lyric tournaments.
One night Rob said wistfully, "I'd love to save the money I'm shelling out on rent. And I miss you guys. But I could never live here. The house is way too small. And you'd drive me nuts!"
Irony was never so manifest.
Within a few days, however, he'd brainstormed with his brothers and located a possible computer-repair gig that would help him save money until he left for Japan—the following April.
Of all the older kids, Rob was always the prickliest, but also the most courteous. "It would really help me if I could live here, but if you mind..."
I waited for Chris, who waited for me.
"It will all work out," I said.
Marty, Dan, Rob: It was a trifecta. And by summer it was a tribe.
For some reason, summer catapulted our older boys back into frat-house mode. Red Solo cups bloomed among the hydrangeas, and 17-year-old Francie, whose bedroom is downstairs, complained of loud Dexter marathons while she tried to sleep before her final exams. A cheap TV set for the boys' room solved that, but I went ballistic over the beer cups with their friends' bloated cigarette butts swimming in them. This wasn't a flophouse! The guys told me to back off: They were old enough to do what they wanted. But a gentle reminder that adolescent girls didn't need to see grown men parading in from the outside shower in boxers was all it took to inaugurate the brotherhood of the traveling robe. We bickered about meals cooked outside our bedroom door at 2 am but also about politics, music and books, which was fun. I was actually meeting "the brothers" as adults for the first time, and in a unique fashion.
In my generation, moving out was for good; I never really lived at home again after I left for college at 16. People got married in their early twenties and had kids. For new college grads, even an entry-level salary was enough to pay half the rent on a pretty nice apartment. Those grads dreamed of saving up $20,000 to make a down payment on a house, not to pay off student loans. Parents saw their adult children when they went to work beside them in the factory or the family business, or when they moved in down the block or visited from town.
In our sons' generation, all but a few graduate from college older and deeper in debt. In real dollars, that first job pays for just about as much as, or less than, my first newspaper job did in 1980. The rent on my first apartment was $300 a month. The rent Dan paid for the place he shared in Vail was $1,500 a month and considered a steal. No wonder this generation also marries later.
So I rotated like a top bumping off emotions—frustration, satisfaction and pure, hopeless sympathy for their plight. On good days, having the older boys around felt like a privilege. How easily Dan whipped up breakfast crêpes; how effortlessly Rob fixed the computer; and with what skill Marty taught Francie to play "Clair de Lune," my favorite song, on our old piano.
Then came the boys' first fight.
Jokingly at first, Dan called Marty "fat ass." Marty responded that he, Marty, was home because of his injuries, but Dan was just a slacker. There was a shove, then a harder shove. Rob joined the fray. Of course, our sons had been fighting all their lives—scuffling, tussling, wrestling—and now here they were again, careening into couches, with vases swaying and the littlest siblings caught between fascination and terror. At the end, the hole in the wall matched the one they'd made when they were 12, 14 and 17.
Contrition and plastering followed, but Atticus, seven, said tearfully, "They're too big to fight."
Not long after, Francie slapped Marty for double dipping a spoon in the chili she was making, and in return he hit her with a wooden spoon across the shoulders.
"She's a kid, Marty," I reminded him.
"She's a jerk," he told me.
Tears sprang to my eyes as I remembered the seven-year-old Marty cradling his infant sister. "She was your heart," I said.
Marty turned to me, his own eyes awash in misery. "I know! Why did you let her grow up to be an entitled brat?"
Who was entitled? It was Marty who was driving my car. Only a few weeks later, Dan asked me if I could move the kids' computer out of the boiler room: "It's annoying enough to have people walking through to do laundry without the little kids coming in to play Club Penguin."
I was too dumbfounded to answer. Finally, I said, "This isn't set up for you. This is their home, where they have to be. If you don't like it, move!"
One morning, a note turned up on the bathroom mirror pointing out that we were out of frozen pizza.
Chris asked, "What are you going to do about this?"
I shrugged. "Get some frozen pizza."
"What you really need to get," Chris said, "is some counseling, so that they can all move and you can be OK with whatever that means." During this period, every tussle between us started this way. Chris was fed up, which made him slip on his Dad-as-Scrooge hat, while I was forced into the defensive crouch of protecting my young.
"What if it means Dan ends up homeless?"
Chris said, "You know that isn't what I want."
"But you could be"—I made air quotes—" 'OK with that'?"
The battle was on, each of us digging deep for insults, me insisting that Chris couldn't love "the old kids" because they had come from my first marriage, him hurling back the truth that I was doing laundry for 11, plus working two jobs, and the power bill was higher by half.
The next day, we were both abashed. But I agreed that I should be the one to write down the "exit strategy" goals.
Before I could, we went to a matinee performance of Next to Normal, a musical in which Marty played two roles—to luminous effect. The same night, as I went to look for the guys with my list, I overheard them upstairs telling the youngest three a story. I lingered outside the door. "When we were little like you, before Mom married Dad, she had no money," Rob was saying.
"We don't have much now!" Atticus pointed out. Even he knew that Chris and I had been wiped out years earlier by an investment theft.
"Well," Rob went on, "every Friday night we would go to the diner for hot dogs and fries, and then Mom would take us on moon walks. One night, we walked around the outside of the zoo in the dark and tried to guess which animals were making which sounds..."
"We go for walks in the dark sometimes!" Marta, eight, said. Still beaming from our description of Marty's theater performance, Atticus said, "Marty, why don't you get famous and buy Mom a big, big house like we used to have?"
Quietly, Marty said, "That's the plan, buddy."
With my own plan in hand, I crept back downstairs. That night, I read all those printouts again, then took my own moon walk. When I was a child, my parents and grandparents shared a house that neither couple could have afforded on their own. I remember it as the safest of havens. Of course I was providing a refuge for my kids. Worse things could happen in the world.
There would be no set of written rules. Written rules are for children, like gold stars for brushing your teeth.
I would ignore the pundits who advised that the last thing we should do was make life too comfortable for the boomerangs. Make them feel that they had washed up here through some failure of character on their part (or ours)? No way. They were welcome to share whatever food and warmth we had. But no more making me yell at them to pick up smelly socks or wet towels. No more covert "just this once" payment of their phone bills. I would commiserate; I struggled with those bills myself. But I would no longer act like a mommy. Adults sharing a common space respect one another's possessions and privacy. I would quietly, but firmly, expect that.
Most of all, there would be no more pinning them down to an "exit date." Making them sign such a document would only demean three kids who never planned to have to rely on their parents. Someday I would be an old woman, and I didn't want these, my eldest ones, -discussing an "exit plan" for me.
When my attitude changed, so did theirs. I spooled back my cross or cautionary words. In return, they dialed down the sarcasm. I treated them like adults. They treated me with enhanced courtesy. A fragile peace descended.
After a couple of months, having saved some money, Rob decided to return to Madison until it was time to go to Japan. Marty will leave for New York right after Christmas.
Dan will probably stay the longest. We actually urged him to stay home for a while—to work hard and to save hard—so that, by the time he leaves, he'll have a nest egg and smarter spending habits.
When Dan goes, he'll be doing what he's supposed to do, lighting out for the territories. I'll be relieved.
I'll also be bereft.
It doesn't take a PhD to figure out that a woman who has nine children has never hankered after an empty nest.
I really don't know how our sons will look back on this time. But since they got a chance to live with us in the middle of our lives, when we were both still tough and vigorous, for them it might be like that moment in Our Town when Emily, as a ghost, looks at her parents and cries out, "They're so young and beautiful! Why did they ever have to get old? But just for a moment now, we're all together...just for a moment, we're happy. Let's look at one another."
We did that.
We had that.
No regrets.

You Go, Sisters (Valley News)
January 28, 2014
"Good for the five Dartmouth undergraduates who, seeking to reform Greek life on campus, protested by abstaining from the recruitment process for new sorority members this winter. It takes courage and conviction to speak out against the institutions and peers with which one associates," writes the Valley News in an editorial.
The paper says that criticism of Greek organizations most often comes from those who aren't fraternity and sorority members. To hear such disapproval "from sorority leaders themselves makes the indictment all the more powerful," the paper says.
The women have "called for strict punishment of men who engage in violence against women," and they are protesting what they say is the "glorification of alcohol," by sororities, according to the editorial.
"It's apparent that at least some students are thinking about the implications and seeking to alter behavior perpetuated by entrenched Greek traditions. This is a heartening development, because if aspects of Dartmouth's social life are to improve, the students themselves must instigate the improvements. We commend the Sorority Five and hope the peer-to-peer dialogue they initiated will continue," says the editorial.

We are in the beginning stages of learning about bilateral hydronephrosis. My son was born in October with a blockage from his bladder that backed urine up into his kidneys. We still don't know what we are looking at happening with him. We are dealing with this and other health problems that may or may not be related to the original blockage. I am looking for anyone who may know something about this.

Connor originally just had a blockage leading out of his bladder and we have just discovered that he may have one in his left ureter. We won't know until April but it makes me feel better to know that after 7 years, it isn't affecting your son!

My son has the same problem right now. He was born December of 2008. I was told he has a small kidney that functions only at 18% and the other is normal. He has reflux in both sides one is a 2 and the other is a 5. The side that is a 5 goes to the small kidney so it may need to be removed. We just found out the other day that the side that is a 2 is either better or almost gone we won't know till we meet with the doctor in a few weeks. I have found alot of people with children with the same problem.

My daughter is a 4 on the right side. We thought it was in both sides until recently. Abbey was born in Sept 2007 and has been on a prevenative antibiotic since she was 2 days old. She's doing fine and so far she just has to have renal ultrasounds every six months, unless something changes. For us, it's easy to manage for now compared to her other medical problems. I'll be praying for each of your children.

Hi Kaime I understand where your coming from. I to have hydronephrosis, I was born it. I am 21 yrs old and still suffer from it. I've had 2 pyleloplastys which is a type of surgery used to correct my left ureter. I was doing fine up until 13 when I had my first pyleplasty then again at 18. Seems like this is reacurrent for me. My left kidney has gone through so much surgery and damage that my doctors are thinking of removing it which is a scary thing for me…im just tired of having to go back and forth through emergancy rooms. Im hoping there are other solutions out there for me..hope this helped.

I'm a veteran of this hydronephrosis thing! Had a stricture in my urethra that went untreated for 4 years 1 in each ureter for 2 years and now 3 in urethra and 1 again in each ureter that went untreated for 2.5 years! Just had my penis practically rebuilt to fix one, (catheter in place as I speak.) later the others will have they're turn. Oh yeah, I get it! Ask a question and I'll give you the scoop. All this should come to benefit somebody! From the first kidney machines(with the old rotory pumps that made you're heart peat funny) to the latest tests- I've got you covered.

It all depends on the severity, how much trouble you will have. My son was born March 23, 2010 with posterior Urethral valves and is on 24 hour Dialysis. We are just waiting for him to get big enough to get a kidney transplant because he has no kidney function at all.

My daughter Grace's hydronephrosis w reflux was found in utero. We followed up with ultrasounds routinley after she was born, at her last UCVG we fould that one was at 4 and one at 5. She also has recurring labial adheasions that we are having surgically fixed next week, so that we can continue her 1yr UCVG testing to see if her kidneys have descreased in size… hoping that surgery is not the next step, and that the daily amoxcillian has worked.

Palm Springs is hot again and not just the temperature. With the opening of both a Hard Rock Hotel and a Ritz-Carlton, the city now caters to both serious partiers and those seeking a five-star luxury experience. Here's why Palm Springs makes the ultimate weekend getaway from Los Angeles:
Palm Springs is a two-hour drive from Los Angeles and doesn't require waiting in long security lines, intrusive pat-down searches or cramped flights. The large inventory of hotel rooms means even on a busy holiday weekend, there's usually something available, somewhere.
Hot new hotels
In addition to a nice variety of smaller corporate and boutique properties, the city has just seen the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs, which brings the wild Vegas party (and pool) scene the hotel is known for to the desert.
Beyond the scene, the rooms are stylish, rates are very reasonable and the service is really good. The area also now has its first five-star property with the recent opening of the Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage, about 20 minutes from Palm Springs.
Great food
With all this new hotel development comes great food and the foodie scene in Palm Springs is also sensational. For some serious gastronomy, Copley's, housed in Cary Grant's old guesthouse, serves innovative, locally-sourced cuisine.
For a more intimate, locals-only experience, head across Indian Canyon Drive from the Hard Rock Hotel to L'Atelier Deli, a great little French cafe run by a French couple. Funny enough, the French toast is a highlight of the delicious menu.
So many things to do
A major golf destination, the city and surrounding area is home to around 300 courses, including many championship level ones. Many of the best courses are open to the public and can be played by visitors. The city is also blessed with some incredible natural beauty and a ride on the Palm Springs Tramway is a must.
The tram takes visitors almost 9,000 feet up into the mountains and the transformation from arid desert to pine tree-filled mountain wilderness (and the 30 degree temperature drop) is amazing. Snow can be found most of the year and they offer snow gear rentals at the summit.

There have already been books and even a video documentary on Minecraft and its creator, Markus "Notch" Persson. These were primarily looks at the explosive success of the game in 2011 and before along with the founding of Mojang. A Year with Minecraft: Behind the Scenes at Mojang from Swedish journalist Thomas Arnroth could just as easily be called Minecraft: Year Two though as it investigates how Persson and the rest of the team at the studio deal with the aftermath of sudden riches and fame.
A Year with Minecraft primarily concerns itself with the experience of Mojang throughout 2012 though it does dip back into established territory to cover the humble beginnings of Markus "Notch" Persson , Minecraft and the rest of the studio. It also covers a bit into 2013 as well. This period of coverage is just after Minecraft's official release to the PC at Minecon 2011 in Las Vegas, their move into a swanky new office and into the release of the Xbox 360 Edition.
The book covers many anecdotal stories in a non-sequential manner such as the amusing gingerbread house competition at the Mojang office that ended in flames and Persson's attempt at a Minecraft follow-up with the hard sci-fi themed 0x10c which ended in abandonment.
Arnroth is as moreso a cultural anthropologist throughout than he is a journalist due to Persson's and the rest of Mojang's notorious private nature. At one point, Arnroth discusses how Persson and the rest of Mojang attempt to keep their public work personalities as transparent as possible while staying away from the personal which is reflected in the stories shared.
In short, don't expect any details about the aftermath from the 2011 Minecon incident between Persson and Yogscast or a look at the separation between Persson and his wife which also occurred in 2012.
The most personal insight that Persson offers up himself was in discussing the development of 0x10c and its eventual abandonment. That's consistently been the nature of Persson though where he's shown himself to be most comfortable talking about coding over personal matters. A story on how he deals with an irate autograph seeker at MineCon in Disneyland Paris is also insightful though the incident of how Mojang as a whole dealt with French laborers is more amusing.
Still, the entire focus is not on Persson as much as it is on Mojang as how the company's owners fill out a studio and the employees deal with both a sudden glut of cash and going from relative unknowns to "rock stars" in the gaming community. Arnroth manages to weave stories and experiences from several members of the studio together into an entertaining whole.
In an industry full of unique personalities and stories Mojang and Marcus Persson stand out of the overwhelming success of Minecraft. The origin story has been told but the continuing saga of the development studio may be even more interesting based on A Year With Minecraft: Behind the Scenes at Mojang from Thomas Arnroth.
- An entertaining read of how Mojang dealt with the enormous success of Minecraft.
- Introduction to the backstory of many of the personalities behind Minecraft.
- Don't expect any controversy
- Obvious that private nature of Mojang's team made Arnoroth more of an observer.

TUCSON , Ariz. ?C?The Arizona womenˇ?s soccer team was defeated by the California Golden Bears, 2-0, Sunday at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium.
The win improves the Bears record to 10-5-0 (2-3-0), while dropping the Cats record to 6-10-1 (1-4-1).
For the second straight game Arizona was tied, 0-0, going to the half, but second half struggles led to a defeat.? Arizona out-shot Cal eight to two in the first half, but had nothing to show for it.
ˇ?I thought we played great in the first half.? We did everything right but score.? Calˇ?s goalkeeper made three great saves,ˇ± head coach Dan Tobias said.? ˇ?I think if we score in the first half, itˇ?s a different game.ˇ±
Cal scored its first goal when Arizona failed to clear the ball out of its zone.??Caitlin Hannegan took the ball and went one-on-one with Cats goalkeeper Halley Brown, scoring her third goal of the season, at the 61:40 mark.
The Bears scored again 10 minutes later; Nikki Schrey took a shot from outside of the box that was just out of the reach of Brown.
ˇ?It was another game where we didnˇ?t stick out chances away and they put their two best chances in the goal,ˇ± said Tobias.? ˇ?They turned our mistakes into goals, thatˇ?s what happens in the Pac-10, especially this year.ˇ±
The second half was a different story for Arizona offensively; the Cats only had three shots in the half and none on goal.
ˇ?We needed a win today with the stretch of Stanford, Cal, USC, and UCLA next weekend,ˇ± Tobias said.? ˇ?I expect us to play well the rest of the season and not fell sorry for ourselves because if you fell sorry for yourself this conference will take advantage of you.ˇ±
Game Notes: The Cats wore ˇ?Cason Caresˇ± wristbands in honor of California freshman goalkeeper Jorden Kussmann, who has been diagnosed with cancer and is going through Chemotherapy.
Up Next: The Cats travel to Los Angeles, Calif. to take on the Trojans of Southern Cal on Friday, Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. PST.??The Cats then travel across town to take on the UCLA Bruins on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 1 p.m. PDT.
Game Summary
Arizona????????????0??????????0????????? 0
California??????????0??????????2????????? 2
California: Caitlin Hannegan (3) 61:40, Nikki Schrey (2) 71:47

Texas will presumably draw with high leverage on candidates from both the college and the pro ranks and the administration will likely try to bring in someone who has championship experience. A report from Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com alludes to Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh as possible candidates. Is either option realistic?
