"It would be so selfish of me to just sit here and go through my life and not share the knowledge I have that there is a God, that he loves you, and that his son came and atoned for our sins," she said. "Most important for me is the knowledge we have that families can be together forever. I have this feeling of despair for people who think that death is an end; to me, that would fill one's life with anxiety and depression, and so I want to share the feeling of peace that the gospel brings to me."
Washburn, a Salt Lake City resident, is also a student, majoring in business management at Utah Valley University. She hopes to start her own business one day.
Before starting college or dreaming of serving missions, both women pursued their dreams of becoming Jazz dancers in high school.
Washburn was a member of the Bingham High School Minerettes drill team, which took first place at a state competition while she was on the team. Anderson danced for the Cottonwood High drill team, which took second place the same year, losing only to Bingham. After dancing in high school, both women decided to try out for the Jazz Dancers.
The tryouts started with a boot camp in which 120 girls competed. At the end of camp, 50 were selected for audition week. Neil Anderson, the Jazz fitness trainer, put the dancers through a physically challenging ordeal of jumping, running and dancing, including a routine similar to an exercise used to train U.S. Navy Seals, according to Anderson.
"It was unbelievably hard," Washburn said. "We wanted to look our best, so everyone was wearing makeup, and there we were sweating like crazy because of the energy that was required to compete. Each time a drill was finished, we'd see girls giving up and walking off the course."
After three days of conditioning, they performed three required dance routines, and then went home to wait for the appointed time when they could call a recorded message to see if their number had been selected.
Competitors in high school and even during Jazz Dancer tryouts, Anderson and Washburn became close friends when they were selected as part of the group of eight new dancers for the team.
Both have experienced many positive aspects by being associated with the Jazz Dancers.
"While our uniforms are extremely well styled, it's clear that we have the most modest presentation in the NBA, and we like that," Washburn said.
Anderson said she likes sharing information about staying healthy with the public.
"When we get to go out and meet with young girls and the public to increase excitement for the Jazz, we are able to talk about the benefits of good physical conditioning, and the fact that a person should eat well and stay in shape," she said. "Dancing is just one way to do that."
They both said they enjoy being part of the basketball games.
"I know I'd like to get back on the NuSkin Utah Jazz Dancers team when I get back, but who knows what will happen," Washburn said. "I plan to stay in great shape while on my mission so I'll be as well prepared as I can, but if I don't make it that will be OK. At least I had this wonderful experience now."
Anderson said her mission has become her focus.
"Three months ago I would never have thought I was going on a mission, and now it's the most important thing in my life," she said. "So I don't know what will happen when I get home. I think I'll try out for the team, but that's not what's important right now. Right now I'm really trying to treasure this experience while it lasts, doing my very best to enjoy each and every moment I'm on the team through the rest of this season. Then I'm off to the Missionary Training Center."

Tuskegee Airman shares his story of serving with distinction

66th Air Base Group Public Affairs
2/24/2011 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- During World War II, the U.S. military was racially segregated, reflecting American society and law at that time. An experiment in the U.S. Army Air Forces, however, showed that given equal opportunity and training, African-Americans could fly in, command and support combat units as well as anyone.
James Sheppard was one of the men selected to be a part of the experimental group that came to be known as the Tuskegee Airmen. He was invited by the local chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen Institute, with support from the African American Heritage Month committee, to share his story in the Garden Auditorium of Building 1614 on Feb. 17.
Mr. Sheppard was born in New York City in 1924. As a boy, he would always like to see planes flying overhead.
"My father knew I was interested in airplanes at a young age," said Mr. Sheppard. "One time a black civilian pilot came to the church we attended, so I went to go meet him and hear him speak. It was at that time I learned there were a lot of black civilian pilots and had been for a long time."
Mr Sheppard joined the Army Air Forces in 1942 and became an aviation mechanic. He was assigned to the 100th Fighter Squadron, based at Tuskegee Army Air Field in Tuskegee, Ala., where he eventually rose to the rank of staff sergeant.
During his hour-long presentation, Mr. Sheppard spoke about his experiences as a Tuskegee Airman. Before joining the service he knew there were other African-American civilian pilots flying as mercenaries for other countries before the United States entered World War II. He knew it was possible for black people to succeed as pilots.
He also described his experiences in Alabama.
"Mrs. Roosevelt, the president's wife, was a big supporter of integrating blacks in the military. When she visited, she asked if she could fly with a black pilot," he said. "Because of her persuasion, the president ordered the military to create an all-black fighter squadron. There were about 20 of us at first, but it worked so well, they created an entire squadron."
The Tuskegee Airmen went through intense training during their time in Alabama. Before they could go overseas, Mr. Sheppard explained how they had to pass a combat readiness training assignment in Michigan.
Mr. Sheppard then shared information about and photos of the many different planes he worked on throughout the war.
"The P-39 was a pretty good plane," he said. "We were known for the red paint scheme on the P-51s. That's how we got the name 'red tails.'"
But, Mr. Sheppard said if he had a choice on which plane he would fly in, it would be the P-47 Thunderbolt.
"The Thunderbolt will bring you back home," he said.
In addition to leading the way with military integration, the Army Air Corps was the only part of the service where enlisted members could communicate with officers in a frank matter, according to Mr. Sheppard.
"We didn't salute on the flight line," he said. "Before the pilot would go, I would tell him he better not screw up my airplane. Of course, when we left the flight line, it was a different story. I didn't talk to the officers like that."
Mr. Sheppard also explained to the group what life was like overseas in Italy. Even during war time, the men trained and went through inspections.
"Each morning, we would launch 48 P-51s between 7 and 8 in the morning," he said. "The pilot had 18 seconds to get off the ground. If he couldn't do it, we knew something was wrong with the engine."
The unit endured a lot of loss during the war, as well.
"Some men experienced four D-Days before the actual D-Day took place in France," Mr. Sheppard said, referring to the invasion of Normandy. "By the fifth, the guys were trained and knew what to do."
The men also took pride in making sure the bombers they were escorting were able to accomplish the mission, but it didn't come easy.
"The German pilots were pretty good and they had good planes," he explained. "We were losing pilots fast."
Throughout the war, more than 100 pilots were killed or missing in action. Of those, more than 30 were prisoners of war, according to reports.
But the losses didn't deter the Tuskegee Airmen from accomplishing the mission. They shot down 111 German planes and damaged 25 while in the air. They also damaged 123 German planes that were grounded.
Mr. Sheppard explained how several Tuskegee Airmen even sunk a German destroyer by flying parallel with the water and firing the canons at the ship.
"The Royal Navy said we sank it, but the U.S. didn't give us credit for it," said Mr. Sheppard. "I was part of a research team that worked with people at Maxwell Air Force Base that helped prove we sunk that destroyer. We finally got credit for it last September."
Throughout his presentation, a sense of pride was apparent to those who listened. He proudly wore the Tuskegee Airmen patch on his jacket and spoke of attending meetings each year. He even recently represented the group at a funeral after remains of a pilot from Maine were identified.
According to a fact sheet at www.nationalmuseum.af.mil, the Tuskegee Airmen served with distinction in combat and directly contributed to the eventual integration of the U.S. armed services, with the U.S. Air Force leading the way.
"That's what the Tuskegee Airmen are all about," said Mr. Sheppard.

Reviews for White Chocolate Banana Cake
"I have always received rave reviews whenever I have made this cake - even from some people who claimed not to be banana cake lovers. It has always come out so moist - yum! I have followed the suggestion of previous reviewers and added less icing sugar to the frosting."
"Wonderful - easy - makes good use of those left over banana's"
"Very good, moist cake. Used melted semi sweet chocolate chips instead of white chocolate and I threw in a couple of cups of blueberries and use blueberry sauce instead of frosting. Delicious!"
"This is a familly favorite and we make it a lot. It is a wonderful cake and yes, make it the day before you want to eat it. Flavors meld and gets moister with time. Must make in layers like this and not cupcakes or 9x13. Not as moist or good otherwise. I always line bottom of pans with parchment and make sure not to over cook. Also, icing is always made to taste so taste it before adding more powdered sugar. I usually make with 3.5 to 4 cups of sugar because I want to taste the cream cheese and not just sweetness. Must try!!!"
"Lovely cake. Gets better next day as flavours meld....."Icing is too sweet," that was my 5 year old grand daughters comment and she is right. I will make again but make icing less sweet. and less of."

Eragon Chapter 30 Summary
How It All Goes Down
Vision of Perfection
- Brom wakes up with his arm in a splint. Everyone's gone. He rests for a while, but it's boring without anyone around to talk to/ride on.
- So he tries the scrying magic to see where Brom and Saphira are. Looks like Brom is flying on her back, but he can't tell more than that. Then he scries his cousin Roran, who is sitting in a chair somewhere.
- This scrying stuff is neat, thinks Eragon. Who else can I check on? He summons the image of the woman in the cell from his dream. She turns at looks directly at him, which is… awkward.
- The spell ends.
- Saphira and Brom come back. Surprise! Brom is ticked off.
- He's mad about Eragon's use of magic. He and Saphira have had to go clean up his mess. In this case, "clean up" = kill and "mess" = "Urgals you only knocked out, but then let get away."
- Still, three Urgals escaped Brom and Saphira.
- Eragon tries to apologize, but Brom tells him to basically stuff his sorries in a sack. If he's going to be a Rider, he needs to start thinking more.
- Eragon tells Brom about the summons from the Urgals, and now Brom is really not happy. If the Urgals have a powerful leader, that's not good news.
- They hit the road again, but now Brom spends his time running Eragon through complicated mental exercises to try to train his mind as well as his body.

When I was in grade school in the early 90s, Japan had an inherent air of mystery as the place where most of my video games and electronics came from. Schoolyard rumors abounded of how the Japanese were already up to, like, Super Mario 19. And they allegedly had robots that could actually bring you a soda from the fridge without getting up off the couch. ('It is so true, my cousin's friend went there and he saw it! No, you're stupid!')
OK, as I got older, I realized some of those stories about Japanese wares were a little, um, overstated. But the country still held its allure as a mecca of technology and gaming shops. So when I flew out for my first-ever Toyko Game Show this year, I had to take some free time to check out the shopping in Akihabara, the "Electric Town" district known the world over as a tech nerd mecca (sometimes abbreviated as "Akiba").
I only had a chance to check out a few of the massive, multi-floor stores, but that was plenty to highlight the amazing similarities and differences between the Japanese and American markets. Don't take my word for it; check out the quick visual guide I've put together below.
I'm divided on whether the "Book Off" sign is an intentionally rude double entendre or just an endearing Japanese-ism. Maybe both?
I'm divided on whether the "Book Off" sign is an intentionally rude double entendre or just an endearing Japanese-ism. Maybe both?
My first stop in Akiba, just behind the train station, was Yodobashi Camera. This space is renowned as one of the most well-stocked and wide-ranging electronics stores on the planet. It lived up to its reputation.
The constant promotion of WiMax products around Tokyo has me further convinced that Japan actually exists in the not-too-distant future.
Need an idea of the sheer scale of the seven-floor Yodobashi complex? I hope this shot of the five full aisles of just iPad cases gives you an idea.
Yodobashi isn't just about pre-packaged goods. They also carry individual components for those who want to build their own PCs.
Need a tripod? Yodobashi has... a few.
Yodobashi's selection of 4K TVs ranged from about $4,000 to about $26,000. Selection was limited, though; seems Japan isn't too far ahead of the curve on this one.
It's hard to tell from this picture, but the front window of this washing machine is an LCD screen showing a rotating advertisement touting the washer's features. I couldn't tell if this was just a store display or if there is actually a monitor built into each unit. In any case, it's just more proof that Japan is years ahead of us in washer-TV technology.
I was kind of shocked to see two Western games with large advertising banners as I entered Yodobashi's gaming floor. In general, Western games had a much bigger presence than I expected based on Japan's insular reputation.
I'm pretty sure that Puppeteer isn't getting anywhere close to this much point-of-purchase promotion in the US, but I could be wrong.
Sometimes I feel like Japan is mocking the rest of the world with its wide array of colored portable systems.
Just look at all those colors... sitting there... mocking us...
When's the last time you saw a significant display of new PSP games in a store? For me, it was just this week.
The main feature of this Monster Hunter 4-branded 3DS cradle is expanded shoulder buttons. Useful when you spend half the day holding one down to target enemies, I suppose.
Japan is like an alternate universe where the 3DS' augmented reality cards are actually popular and offered prominently in stores. Crazy!
Another oddity to Western eyes: an aisle of download codes for specific Wii U games. Makes sense, considering that Japan is not a very credit-card-heavy society. These cards allow users to buy specific downloads with cash easily.
I included this picture mainly to rub in the fact that these guys are playing Pokemon X & Y and our own Andrew Cunningham is not, even though he desperately wants to.
Animal Crossing is absolutely huge here. Everywhere I went there was some other bit of merchandising surrounding the game. In the US, you'd be lucky to find any.
There's a fair number of Mario-themed plush toys available in the US, but I'm guessing the Flying Squirrel Suit Blue Toad is way too obscure to have penetrated the domestic market yet.
I'm not really sure what is going on with these Smurf figures, and I'm not sure I want to know.
Remember Tower Records? It didn't die... it just moved to Japan to live at Yodobashi Camera, apparently.
Three things: 1) Why is King Boo named King Teresa in Japan? 2) Why is this product made by Taito, an ostensible Nintendo competitor? 3) Why were these lights absolutely everywhere in Akihabara? How did they become so fashionable?
Kyle Orland
Yeah, I'm in Akihabara. Meet me by the shop with the creepy-yet-welcoming 20-foot-wide man in the striped shirt.
There are a lot of differences between Japan and the US, but the selection in the gaming bargain bins is actually quite similar.
I have no idea what is in these emoticon'ed packages, and I had no desire to pay money (or learn Japanese) to find out. Commenters, any help?
Grand Theft Auto V was displayed prominently absolutely everywhere in Akihabara, which was surprising for such a Western-focused release. Also, note the different prices for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, reflecting the differing demand for each system.
Kyle Orland
The characteristic sign for Super Potato, probably the best-known retro game store in Akihabara. Going in was like entering a dream for me.
Working, good-condition Famicom systems are apparently super-common in Japan judging by this shot. Japanese people routinely use them in place of paper towels, that's how common they are. It's true!
Yes, Super Potato was asking the equivalent of well over $200 for a boxed copy of the crappy Batman & Robin game for the Genesis/Mega Drive. Remember: Rarity has nothing to do with quality.
Despite the heavily damaged box, this Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch unit was the most expensive thing in Super Potato by a good margin, demanding the equivalent of over $1,000.
What do the Vectrex and the R.O.B. robot controller for the NES have in common? Neither of them were for sale despite being displayed at Super Potato.
A very rare FamicomBox splitter that allows for up to 15 game cartridges to be plugged in at once for store displays. It only works with specially designed cartridges.
A Virtual Boy store display. Of course it was working.
Even with a broken gun, this life-size Snake statue is a pretty imposing presence on Super Potato's arcade floor.
Presented without comment.
Your local GameStop won't even take back PS2 games anymore, yet Super Potato has row after row of immaculate, boxed Famicom games.

Governor Approves Morgantown TIF

A bill that would help pay for a new ballpark for West Virginia University is about to reach home plate. That's because on Tuesday evening Governor Earl Ray Tomblin put pen to paper on a bill that would help pay for that project.
Just about two weeks ago the state legislature approved the Monongalia County Tax Increment Financing (TIF) project.
In addition to paying for a baseball stadium it also clears the way for a new interchange off of interstate 79 and development near the University Town Centre. Commissioner, Tom Bloom said that's why they supported the project in the first place.
"You're going to start see this whole alley of (interstate) 79 being built up," Bloom said. "This is a major development. We believe the TIF payments will be paid off in 12 to 15 years, and we'll use that money for more infrastructure to develop the Westover, Granville area."
Bloom added they want start construction later this summer.

Florida Panthers: News and notes from Monday
Some interesting stuff from today's practice after a pair of days off. Here we go:
First the news about the Nathan Horton rumor. I hate to even give credence to a report that doesn't cite a single source — named or anonymous — but I know y'all are curious after the Ottawa Sun reported the Panthers are trying to trade Horton.
So I asked GM Randy Sexton about it this morning. He told me "there is no shred of truth" to the report, that it was "absolutely" made up and that he hasn't contacted teams, nor have any contacted him, about trading Horton.
And Sexton didn't sound like an executive just throwing out the routine denial you often hear when there's such speculation. He was vehement it wasn't true. Personally, I believe him.
Horton has a goal in each of the past two games after going without a goal the first four games. Like Sexton, Coach Pete DeBoer isn't unhappy with Horton. DeBoer said today Horton "has played some real good hockey here for us" and that the No. 1 line as a whole has played well even though Horton, Weiss and Booth don't have many points to show for it and are a combined minus-16.
On to the news that's actually news.
The Panthers had a tough practice today, with lots of skating. DeBoer said he wanted to push them a little bit after a couple of days off. Tough week coming up for the Panthers with Buffalo at home Wednesday, and then road games at Pittsburgh and Philly on Friday and Saturday.
With three games in four nights, you might see defenseman Jason Garrison get recalled from Rochester to give Bryan Allen, who's coming back from major knee surgery, a night off. Garrison came up for one game — the second game of a back-to-back – on Oct. 10 so Allen could rest.
"Our plan week to week here has been to see where [Allen] is at," DeBoer said, adding he'll consult head trainer Dave Zenobi.
I talked to Allen today about his play so far. He's minus-6 and has a taken some bad penalties — he has a team-high 13 penalty minutes — while playing in the third pairing with rookie Dmitry Kulikov. He was admirably honest about his play, describing it as "average" and noting there's lots of room for improvement with regard to his timing, his play in the defensive zone and his decision making. He also said he needs to be more physical. The knee obviously has been a factor in his struggles.
"It's never going to be normal. Anytime you have surgery it's not going to be normal," Allen said. "But it's not bad. It's very manageable."
I know some of you aren't too happy with Allen's play so far, but DeBoer feels he'll be fine in the long run.
Said DeBoer, "He's working his way back in, and considering what he's been through, his game is coming along fine. I know he expects more. He's a top four defenseman in this league. But it's going to take him some time to get back to that. …You like to hear guys expecting more and with an honest assessment of their play, but we have to be realistic here about what this guy's been through and what he's still going through. It's going to take him some time to get back to where he was before."
The news isn't good regarding Nick Tarnasky, who's recovering from surgery for a broken orbital bone suffered in a Sept. 15 fight against Ottawa's Chris Neil. Tarnasky started skating alone last week, but the injury still is bothering him.
"His recovery has been slower than we anticipated. He's still having some issues with it," DeBoer said. "He's skating, but I don't have a timeline for when he'll be back. It's complications due to the injury. I don't know exactly what the problem is, but it's not where anyone thought it would be right now."

Washington - Venus Williams still has a lot of work ahead to recapture the form that has made her a seven-time Grand Slam champion.
After joining her sister Serena in a fourth-round Wimbledon exit, Williams lost in singles and doubles before helping the Washington Kastles to a 21-18 World TeamTennis over-time victory on Tuesday over reigning champion Kansas City.
Williams, 34th in the WTA rankings, lost 5-4 to 66th-ranked Christina McHale in a one-set singles matchup of the No 2 and 3 Americans and fell 5-1 in doubles alongside Australian Rennae Stubbs against McHale and Madison Brengle.
But Williams, showing no sign of the hip injury that sidelined her from the Australian Open until just before Wimbledon, joined India's Leander Paes for a 5-3 mixed doubles triumph and hit two over-time forehand winners on the deciding points.
"I feel good about my game. Me being here means I'm healthy enough to play," Williams said.
"I have just been relaxing, taking it easy. It's time to gear up and get myself started again. This is how I've started my summers for several years and I'm excited to be out here again."
Venus Williams, a five-time Wimbledon champion who also won the 2000 and 2001 US Opens, has not won a Grand Slam title since 2008 at Wimbledon, but she vows that at 31 she is far from finished as a force in women's tennis.
"It has been a privilege to set a level at the top of the game," she said. "On and off the court, I'm trying to achieve things I love. For me, it has always been important to have a life off the court.
"While I'm playing well, I'll be trying to dominate on the court. When it's over I will try to dominate somewhere else."
Williams, the 2000 Sydney Olympic singles champion and the 2000 and 2008 Olympic women's doubles champion with Serena, is excited for the chance to go for three Olympic titles next year in London when mixed doubles is introduced.
"I'm looking forward to the Olympics," she said. "When I enter three events, I'm going to try to win three events."
Just exactly which American she will partner with, however, she is not ready to say.
"I have been known not to commit to relationships," Venus Williams said. "I will be waiting until the last minute to see where the grass is greenest."
Williams, whose design company is working on a remodel project at nearby Howard University, says she enjoys the US capital but is not planning on playing in the $220 000 WTA Citi Open that debuts in Washington in three weeks.
"I usually play (only) a couple of tournaments before the US Open," she said. "I'm very happy there is a women's event here. It would be great to play it but right now it's not on my schedule."
Williams said she wanted more matches this summer after her Wimbledon loss to better prepare for the US Open, which starts next month.
But for now, she is content for the more relaxed TeamTennis schedule.
"Team Tennis is great," Williams said. "Everyone has to contribute an equal part. That's what makes it unique."

Sigmaringen Travel guide
Sigmaringen : Michelin's recommendations
The strong defensive position of Sigmaringen - a rocky spur rising from the valley at the mouth of the Upper Danube Gap - made the town an ideal choice as a minor capital of the principality ruled by the Swabian (Catholic) branch of the illustrious Hohenzollerns. The castle is firmly perched on the rock, but its only remaining feudal attributes are its location and general appearance: all the buildings and their interior decoration are pastiches of different styles.

Knowledge for the Good Life
One of mycousins called the other day to tell me that she wasn't interested ina cousins reunion. "Well, that's unanimous -- if I count silence as ano," I said. Even though our parents had a family circle that metmonthly, it looked as if their kinder rejected the idea to meet justonce.
Then my cousin and I talked about my new icon,Martha Stewart -- the mother of all balebostes -- and we jokinglyasked, what if we had a mother like Martha? Would we be making ourown potpourri from herbs grown in the greenhouse we had built theyear before? Would we be refinishing the dining-room table that wehad constructed from old ironing boards?
When I first saw Martha on television, she usedexactly three sheets of The New York Times Business section to make aroaring fire. I considered myself an expert fire maker, but I neededthe entire Calendar section of the Los Angeles Times. I watchedMartha and took notes.
The last time I paid such close attention totelevision was during a PBS show about the relationship betweenhumans and elephants. The elephant owner made 200 leafy sandwichesevery day for his elephant, and they had to be constructed in acertain way for the elephant to trust the handler.
Detail from "The Entry of the Animals into Noah's Ark" byJan Brueghel, 1613.
I also learned how to bathe an elephant, which isthe essential bonding experience between elephant and human. Theelephant is on its side in the water -- a very vulnerable position --and the human efficiently and lovingly scrubs the elephant's hide,ears, footpads. We're talking tons of dependent animal relying on theskill and compassion of one frail person.
The elephant has this keen intuition about whoreally cares for him and who's mistreating him. When the elephant iswell taken care of, he's capable of loyalty and hard work unknown toany species. When he's mistreated, he enters your tent late at night,picks you up with his trunk and throws you against a tree.
Although I wish people who mistreat children wouldbe thrown against trees, I don't get to use much of myelephant-bonding information. But my newly acquired fire-makingability definitely is impressive. I wait until the embers ofnewspaper fly through the air and people start choking, and then Ishyly ask, "Is there anything I can do to help?" The frustratedfailure of a usually male fire maker asks, "What do you know aboutfires?"
Hemingway once wrote: "The old man taught the boyto fish, and the boy loved him." My first husband and his father wentto the racetrack together. The father taught the boy to read a racingform, and the boy loved him. And when the boy became a father, hetaught his son how to handicap, and the son loved him. My grandmothertaught me how to sew, but Gloria Steinem said that I had choices. Somy daughter and I didn't sew together. We walked picket lines. Weshould have sewn too.
I had a teacher in college named Dr. Fiore. Shewas a slightly built woman, perhaps in her 30s. She was intense,quiet, with a slow smile. After flunking gym and physics in myfreshman year, I decided to drop out of college and went to heroffice to tell her. Why tell Dr. Fiore, I don't remember. Shelistened as I matter-of-factly told her that I wasn't collegematerial and that my mother was right -- that I should stop foolingaround, enter the real world, learn how to type and earn aliving.
Dr. Fiore told me to stay in school and to learnsome patience, that I had talent. If I left, the shape of my lifewould be carved from regrets. Dr. Fiore, who did not know me, knewwhat was good for me -- good for my soul. I love her to this day forthat knowledge.
Socrates said that health, wealth, beauty, allthese are good insofar as they are well used. And a good use of thegoods of life demands knowledge of their appropriate employment.

Update: "Crisis," "Believe," and "Growing Up Fisher," have been canceled.
Following the news of ABC network canceling various shows, on Friday, Spoiler TV announces the cancelation of two NBC programs. The two TV shows cut from NBC's lineup are sci-fi drama "Revolution" and comedy "Community." Not too many were surprised by the news, as both "Revolution" and "Community" have landed on the low ratings list for some time now.
"Community" is an American sitcom that premiered on September 2009. It starred Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, and Donald Glover. It centered on a group of students attending community college. While "Community" was a fan favorite when it first aired, audiences have lost interest over time. "Community" ran for five seasons.
"Revolution" is a post-apocalyptic drama that premiered on September 2012. It starred Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Giancarlo Esposito, and Zak Orth. The series took place 15 years after the start of a worldwide permanent electrical power blackout. I'm not sure why this series lasted as long as it did (almost two complete seasons), it didn't receive the best welcome from the very beginning.
"Revolution" was picked up by NBC with 22 episodes, but reduced to 20 almost right away. The second season was given a new time slot, to help improve ratings. It looks like that wasn't the case.
Since late on Thursday, ABC has been doing a massive clean-up to its network lineup. If you missed the news, "Trophy Wife," "Mixology," and "The Neighbors," have been canceled. The news of these three canceled shows were followed by the cancelation announcement of "Suburgatory" and "Super Fun Night."
Fear not though, several shows were renewed. Some of these include "Modern Family," "Agents of SHIELD," "The Middle," and "The Goldbergs." Also, ABC picked up "Marvel's Agent Carter." It will be inspired by Marvel's One-Shot "Agent Carter." The show will follow Peggy Carter, as she deals with balancing administrative work while doing secret missions for Howard Stark.

SOPHISTICATED fleet operating data will be available in real-time online to Fleet Support Group (FSG) customers later this year in an industry-leading development that will further drive down running costs.
FSG is to make available to its customers an exclusive fleet analytic engine that processes data 3,600 times faster than any system on the market today. ARI(Automotive Resources International), FSG's parent company, has rolled out the capability to more than 40 customers inNorth America.
It was demonstrated to fleet decision-makers by Tony Candeloro,ARI's director of client information systems, at the spring meeting of FSG's advisory Car Panel, which is composed of customers.
He said: 'Our exclusive technology is a game-changer in the fleet business. Data is interpreted and reports are available instantly on a customer's computer dashboard. In tests, data processing that used to take seven-and-a-half hours can be done in mere seconds.'
The powerful in-memory technology enables fleets to act on information as it happens, thus revolutionising decision-making, dramatically increasing the speed of existing processes and accessing large amounts of data in shorter periods of time.
Candeloro said: 'Fleet managers are inundated with reports and tons of data. This ground-breaking technology puts all reports in memory and analytical reports on any aspect of the fleet are available in milliseconds.'
A number of vehicle leasing and fleet management solution providers offer online reporting, but Candeloro said: 'No one provides fleets with reports at the speed or with the detail of analysis that we deliver. It brings about a fundamental transformation to the way organisations run their fleets.'
FSG chairman and founder Geoffrey Bray said: 'All fleets, including our customers, want to further reduce cost. This exclusive analytic technology has capability that is totally unmatched by any other supplier.
'Fleet operators can drill down into finite detail to examine overall costs and individual areas of expenditure by vehicle and driver and undertake their own benchmarking and trend analysis. The power and speed of the technology is incredible and our customers will benefit.'
The fleet analytic engine will power a raft of new, highly sophisticated real-time fleet data capture and reporting solutions fromARIwhich will be introduced to FSG customers.
ARIpresident Carl Ortell said: 'Technology is a major differentiator forARI. Our investment in technology has resulted in the delivery of numerous online management reporting tools to business and we will bring those solutions to theUK.'

Boat Hydraulic Steering Systems
How Hydraulic Boat Steering Systems work
Under normal operating conditions, a turn of the steering wheel will send the oil from the helm unit into one of the two connecting hydraulic lines. The oil will be pumped into one of the chambers of the cylinder and either extend or retract the cylinder rod, depending on the steering wheel rotation.
Suggestions and Warnings when selecting an Hydraulic Steering System
The strength required to drive a boat equipped with an hydraulic steering system is inversely proportional to the number of turns of the wheel lock-to-lock. The wheel turns are determinated by the ratio between the cylinder volume, pump displacement and the free movement of the rudder.

what luck
They've been advertising this kit on your website for months, and now they've got a favourable review!
What were the odd of that then?
My testlab has a new arrival: a Supermicro FatTwin™ F617R2-F73. As always when something lands in my lab, I will valiantly kick the crap out of it on behalf of El Reg's discerning readership. There are already a few different systems in my testlab - let's see how this thing stacks up. I'd like to kick off this review by …
They've been advertising this kit on your website for months, and now they've got a favourable review!
What were the odd of that then?
Pretty orthogonal, actually. I had to work for six months to get a unit to review. It was worth it. Great bit of gear. If you have some ideas as to tests you'd like me to run, please, let me know! I'll run any tests that I reasonably can. :)
8 units fully 'kitted' ~40K or ~5K per node.
That's not bad.
Even their blade systems don't look too bad either
Oh! - It's all muscle. (and err fat).
...but rather the support , services, and top tier warranty. The VAR network. The 2 hour onsite response. As well as the R&D/testing and reference designs that go along with purchasing IBM, Dell, HP, Cisco, or Oracle servers. Yes you could duplicate them on Supermicro hardware for much less money, but who is going to stand behind the end result?
My environment is a mix of medium business and small enterprise requirements, and my infrastructure is a mesh of HCL'd hardware and software at correct revisions, a lot of it straight out of vendor whitepapers. There is simply no room for this white box level stuff until it has the same level of R&D and support as the big players.
Unlike some organizations, we can't simply buy the cheapest thing out there, throw any old version of Linux on it, stick it in a rack, and call it done. I suspect that is the way it is for many organizations out there.
In other words, cool, but not for me.
It has the same level of R&D as the big players. And they HCL. And they certify. And....pretty much everything. Supermicro isn't exacy "just a whitebox vendor" anymore. Yes, they do sell units on a whitebox basis...but they also have excellent support options, especially if you buy big enough to be doing whole datacenters through them. Might be time you talked with tbem about the options, rather than rather than rely on assumptions that - it seems - are years out of date.
how do these compare against say the Dell C6220 which i guess would be the Dell equivalent?
Funny you should ask that. The reason this took so long to come together was that Dell was originally supposed to ship me a C6220 to test. We were going to to a head-to-head; showcase each unit it isn't own article and then really tear into each of them with an array of tests. Dell backed out at the last minute and so I was down to testing the Supermicro against the rest of my lab.
Kind of sucks; Dell's switch was quite a nice piece of gear. Supermicro and Dell went pretty head-to-head on that, hard to say one was a clear winner. I would have been interested to see Dell's C6220 in action, especially when it came to the resilience of the power plane and its thermal responsiveness. So I sadly cannot answer you regarding the C6220. It looks nice on paper; but we all know how misleading that can be.
What I can say is that Supermicro's stuff has come a long way in the past 10 years. More critically, they seem to be putting a lot more time and effort into making their units able to withstand high temperatures (so that you can run your datacenter hotter, thus saving rather a lot of money) and into completely over-engineered power systems. Not only are the power planes resilient, but Supermicro makes their own PSUs; and they are crazy efficient.
If and when I get equipment from other vendors, you know I'll run it through the wringer. From server stacks like the Fat Twin to the humble USB stick; I've got a test lab, let's break this stuff!
Care to share the basic maths Trev? I can't see how this computes at all.
Fairly simple; I may possess the hardware for these other servers outright, however, they are expensive to power. FLOPS/watt on them versus the Fat Twin units means that were I to go out and buy a Fat Twin to replace the three racks of older gear that I have I would pay for the faster and more capable Fat Twin in less than 6 months simply out of the power savings.
To me, that means the older systems aren't worth the power they use.
Trevor, did VMware ESXi install? OpenStack? Eucalyptus?
This looks like a good medium scale virtualization platform; might want to include that in your reviews as a standard test.
Haven't tried Eucalyptus. VMware ESXi 5.1 works like a hot damn. Openstack too. Server 2012 works as well.
well given you never got to play with the dell kit, here's my view.
I'm not sure what the C6220s is about. It is definitely better than the C6100 it replaced. They were a bitch to configure (10+ mins to boot to drac config mode drac per node = hours when you have 6 chassis to rig up) The C6100s i found poor MTBF issues as well, multiple motherboard swapouts particularly.
These (well the predecessor C6100) were designed by Dell at the behest of a rich client who wanted custom gear. The point being to squeeze as many nodes into a defined space as possible. I've never seen that these do that. You can get 16 blades into an M1000e encolosure, or 10u of space. I rack 3 chassis in a single 42u rack leaving 12u for airflow and patch panels. Thats a total of 48 servers in a single rack Cooling is never ever an issue on these, they have plenty of on board fans and even at the top of the rack they dont surpass about 30 degrees. However, the C6220s run much hotter. I had 10 of these in a dev rack recently (i.e. for a total of 40 nodes) , and the heat they were kicking out at the back of the reack was obscene. Alarming all over the shop, and anything above halfway up the rack was particularly bad. The only way we could get these running consistently was to place the kit in the first rack by the ACU so it gets more air than most racks.
Bear in mind as well that the Blade chassis includes (in my case) 4 ethernet switches and 2 San switches. Adding the equivalent switching in the rack is at least another 6-8u. Oh, and forgot to add there's no sfp or san ports on the C6220s so they're out of the question too.
obviously i cant compare on the Fat kit, but for our use, the 4nodes in a 2u space just doesn't seem to do the job unless you have loads of cooling but not loads of space.
Wish I could compare. The Fat Twin emphatically does not kick out a lot of heat. It is the most power-efficient gear I have ever used. I could see 4 racks of them being a problem whereas 4 racks of 5U servers is not, but then I would be running 320 2P servers instead of 32 2P servers in the same space. Mind you, living in Canada, that is probably only a issue 2 months out of the year...

For the Man Who has Everything is a mission in the downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV, The Ballad of Gay Tony.
This mission is carried out on behalf of Yusuf Amir, a billionaire construction magnate. Yusuf wants to send a railway carriage in the Middle East as a gift. The first objective is to jump on a train from the nearest overpass. Luis will then make his way up to the front car of the train as the police are trying to shoot him from helicopters. Once that Luis has disconnected the first wagon from the rest of the train, Yusuf appears and raise it using the Skyhook helicopter equipped with a hook. [1]

1% Coasteering in Wales
Here in Vermont, we're taking in the vibrant fall colors, drinking warm apple cider and enjoying the familiar feeling of cozy sweaters, while our UK counterparts were busy scrambling, climbing and traversing their way around the rocky coastline of Wales, all in the name of 1%.
1% member and professional play advocates, TYF Adventure, organized a gathering for our UK members to get to know each other, share ideas and have a good time. "We popped everybody into a wetsuit, helmet and buoyancy aid and made our way down to the bottom of the sea cliffs with our experienced guide and then 'Coasteered' our way around the stunning coastline," said TYF staffer and event organizer, Ross Beese.
With hearts racing from the morning's coasteering adventure, our 1% members moved on to the beach to try their hand at surfing, (Yvon would be proud!). "The waves were fantastic and the kids made it look easy, popping up and cruising down the line with smiles on their faces," said Beese.
The weekend of fun in the sun brought about new friends, new hobbies, and a stronger 1% network throughout the UK. "It was fantastic to find out more about the other businesses and where their passion lies," said Beese.
We're sad to have missed this great gathering and can't wait to try coasteering at next year's event. Thank you to TYF Adventure who hosted the event and a special thanks to all our members in the UK who are helping create a healthier planet.

|old world climbing fern
|Lygodium microphyllum (Cav.) R. Br.
|Synonym(s): small leaf climbing fern
Old world climbing fern, an aggressive invader in southern Florida, is a perennial climbing fern that can reach lengths of more than 90 ft. (30 m). Vines are thin, wiry, and remain green throughout winter. The fronds (leaves of a fern) are opposite, singly compound, 2-5 in. (5-12 cm) long with thick, usually unlobed leaflets. Fertile fronds have lobes around the margin, where sporangia are covered with rolled leaf tissue. Old world climbing fern is a serious invader of swamps, glades, and hammocks. It can form dense mats that smother understory vegetation, shrubs and trees. Old word climbing fern also increases fire risks. Thick mats of dead fronds that grow into trees act as fire ladders, bringing the fires into the tree canopies. Old world climbing fern is native to Africa, Australia and Southeast Asia and was first found naturalized in the United States in 1965.
