USC 8, Arizona 4 (Box Score)
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The 14th-ranked Arizona baseball team saw its five-game road winning streak snapped, as Southern California benefitted from a six-run sixth inning en route to an 8-4 victory on Saturday afternoon at Dedeaux Field.
USC (23-26, 8-18 Pac-12) snapped a nine-game losing streak by scoring two runs without a hit in the third inning, then tallied their only seven hits of the game all in the six-run sixth. The opportunistic Trojans were 6-for-9 with runners in scoring position, while the Wildcats went 3-for-10 and left 11 runners on base.
Arizona starter Konner Wade held the Trojans hitless over the first five innings and carried a 3-2 lead into the sixth, but was unable to avoid the decisive sixth inning. USC sent 11 men to the plate in the frame, collecting six hits of Wade and another off reliever Tyler Crawford as it scored six runs to claim an 8-3 lead.
Despite a brief rally in the ninth inning, the Trojan pitching staff kept the Wildcats at bay the rest of the way. Starter Andrew Triggs (5-6) earned this victory as he tossed seven complete innings, allowed three earned runs and gave up nine hits. He struck out three and walked two.
Relievers Brad Douthit and Martin Viramontes combined to pitch the final two innings out of the bullpen. Each collected a pair of strikeouts and gave up a hit, while Viramontes surrendered some ninth-inning base runners but never allowed the tying run to come to the plate.
USC loaded the bases and scored the game's first runs without a hit in the third inning. With one down, Wade walked a batter, hit one and walked another. He then hit James Roberts with a pitch to force in a run, and Alex Sherrod followed with a sacrifice fly to give USC a 2-0 lead.
Arizona (35-16, 17-9 Pac-12) clawed back and took the lead in their next trip to the plate. With one down and runners at the corners, Trent Gilbert lined a single to right field to drive in Bobby Brown. Joseph Maggi followed with his first triple of the season down the right field line to drive in a pair of runs and give UA the 3-2 edge.
That was all the offense the Wildcats could muster, and Wade was unable to escape the sixth inning. Wade (7-2) suffered just his second loss of the season in 5.1 innings of work. He was charged with eight earned runs on six hits and two walks. He struck out five.
The two teams conclude the three-game series on Sunday. First pitch of the rubber match is scheduled for 1 p.m. PDT at Dedeaux Field.

This generating function is equivalent to $$\sum_{n}^{\infty}F_n x^n=\dfrac{x}{1-x-x^2}$$
where $F_n$ is a fibonacci number. To show this, I need to simplify the above generating function with binomial coefficients using $$(1-z)^{-\alpha+1}=\sum_{k}^{\infty}{\alpha+k\choose k}z^k$$
I'm familiar with using this conversion, but I can't do it successfully in this case. Please give me a hint for conversion.
EDIT: So, as achille hui suggested, I converted as the following: $$\sum_{s}\sum_{k}{k+s\choose k}x^{s+2k+1}=\sum_{s}x^{s+1}(1-x^2)^{1-s}=x(1-x^2)\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{x}{1-x^2}}=\dfrac{x(1-x^2)^2}{1-x-x^2}$$
But the last formula clearly doesn't match with what I expected, which is: $$\sum_{n}^{\infty}F_n x^n=\dfrac{x}{1-x-x^2}$$
Where did I make a mistake?

Skyward Sword is one of the most highly anticipated games this generation, a fitting swansong to an interesting era of gaming from Nintendo and its Wii console. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is finally here for the masses, bringing with it claims of perfect 1:1 sword-play, an epic quest and a new take on the familiar Zelda experience. Expectations were at an all-time high, particularly with the re-release of Ocarina of Time earlier this year, which has been long heralded as the greatest game of all time.
Skyward Sword not only meets all of those expectations, but creates a gaming experience that has not only reinvigorated an ageing series, but set a standard for what Nintendo can achieve with motion controls, story and fantastic art styles.
Origin story - The Zelda timeline is a whole kettle of fish that we won't get into right now, but Skyward Sword is our first look at an origin story for the series. Preceding the events of Ocarina of Time, we are introduced to Skyloft; a group of islands in the clouds created by a Goddess to protect a powerful item from the Demon King Demise. Many generations later after the creation of Skyloft, players take control of Link who is sent on a epic quest to "the surface" where he must fulfill his destiny with Zelda and stop the Demon King who has resurfaced to take over Skyloft and discover the item of great power. A fitting story that takes an in-depth look at the origins of many Zelda staples, such as The Master Sword, Ganon and the Triforce. This feels like the definitive beginning of the franchise, adding weight to every journey we've been on before, and setting a precedent for every journey we will embark on in the future.
Keeping with Zelda tradition, the game is devoid of voice actors to allow the player to immerse themselves as the characters. Despite the lack of dialogue, Skyward Sword is by far the most cinematic experience that Nintendo has ever created, offering an emotional connection to the characters and their stories unlike any other Zelda title before. The tension between Zelda and Link at the beginning of the game plays out like some kind of John Hughes film, allowing the player to feel a range of emotions as the story unfolds. Anyone who doubts Nintendo's ability to craft a cinematic experience will think twice after playing through Skyward Sword.
True arrival of motion gaming - The Nintendo Wii may have started the motion gaming craze, but Skyward Sword is when it truly arrives. Using the MotionPlus attachment the player has true 1:1 control over Link's sword, along with many of his items. Not only does this make combat satisfying, but it truly immerses the player into the gameplay. Never before has a gaming experience delivered pitch perfect motion control, but Skyward Sword does it with style. This is how a Zelda game should be played, and after going back to play Twilight Princess after some playtime with Skyward Sword I simply cannot imagine a Zelda game without this level of motion control ever again. This is the true definition of what motion controls should be in gaming.
New take on familiar ground - Skyward Sword feels like a different kind of Zelda title than its predecessors, relying heavily on open areas to provide gameplay and quests rather than solely dungeon exploration. Players will find that more side quests, combat and items are waiting to be found in the areas in between dungeons, which makes for some exciting gameplay.
Dungeon and puzzle design has been revamped to suit the new gameplay mechanics and motion controls to offer a robust experience. The development team has borrowed from every successful Zelda title and created something that truly feels unique, offers unprecedented challenge, yet still manages to feel accessible at the same time. Whether you are a hardcore Zelda fan or a casual player, you'll find something familiar, something new and something enjoyable in this epic adventure.
Satisfying combat - Nothing comes close to the satisfaction of the combat in Skyward Sword. That's a big claim, but I believe it to be the absolute truth. Enemies will dynamically block sword strokes which means you will need to pay attention, learn to counter their attacks and how to strike effectively. Precise 1:1 motion makes this possible, allowing you to slice in any direction, or even thrust your sword straight forward to land a blow. Every enemy you defeat leaves a smile on your face, almost like a small personal victory. After those first few battles, you won't be able to put this down.
Orchestral delight - A standout feature of the entire Zelda series has been the amazing soundtracks, and Skyward Sword keeps that tradition alive and kicking. The soundtrack is warm and charming one second, then full of urgency and desparation the next. There is a great mix of new and old anthems here that will be stuck in your head long after your session is over. It's big, it's epic and it's full of orchestral sounds.
Gorgeous art style - Trailers and gameplay footage simply don't do the unique art style of Skyward Sword any justice. Playing on a good TV with component cables will bring the game to life, like a breathing painting on your screen. A great use of colour and a mixture of serious and playful character and environment design makes this stand out not only for a Wii title, but as one of the best looking games of 2011.
Z-Targeting can be frustrating - I'm nit-picking here, but on occasion the Z-Targeting system can be a little frustrating during some battles. If surrounded by enemies it will target the closest threat, but once you knock that enemy on his back it will change to the closest enemy rather than allowing you to land a fatal strike at times. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
Back tracking - With more emphasis on the open areas rather than finding dungeons, you will do a fair amount of back tracking as your quest unfolds. This is fine considering the size of the areas, and the amount of side quests available. What doesn't bode well is when you have to go through the same dungeon three times to complete a certain side quest. Once again this is an extremely minor gripe, particularly considering it is an optional endeavour.

Heller said: Not sure if srs?
Heller said: That's a fair call @tommo47 the opening areas can definitely feel a little like that, but it certainly ramps up! Also when you finish the game you unlock Hero mode, where each enemy does 20% more damage.
Dicky said: Good review, i sense a bit of a Zelda fanboy here though...
10/10 on everything? seriously? it's that good? it don't look that good and im a massive Zelda fan... worth buying a Wii for?
There's no real exploration though is there like in OoT? the fields and such?
Josh said: 10 out of 10 from MMGN?
Beta said: Josh said: 10 out of 10 from MMGN?
+1 and saved!

Heller said: For the power of the system they have excelled in all areas.
eltoNNNNNN said: nice review. I haven't played it yet & I'm not sure about the sound as a 10. I've heard a lot of it's music. definitely a 9 minimum though.
tommo47 said: Heller said: For the power of the system they have excelled in all areas.
This is getting in to dangerous territory; the power of a system should be irrelevant IMO. A game should not be judged on how close it was to pushing the boundaries on the system. I understand the point being made, that the game has no right to be possible on the Wii, but what if it was on a different console? Could it have had better graphics? Less clipping issues? Better sound quality/depth? Tighter control scheme? I wouldn't know since, as I said, I haven't played it.
If anything could have been made better by being on a different console, is it fair to award a 10 still? You're effectively awarding such a score because the hardware design was compromised, in that scenario.
eltoNNNNNN said: nice review. I haven't played it yet & I'm not sure about the sound as a 10. I've heard a lot of it's music. definitely a 9 minimum though.
Why is it "definitely a 9 minimum"? You haven't played it?

Heller said:
It would be like saying Sly Racoon is a bad game because it is cell shaded, therefore the graphics are bad.
blob said:
So no PS3/360 games should be 10/10 graphics either seeing as PC is superior?
Heller said: Totally agree @Rivalz personally I'd love to just ditch all the categories here at MMGN and just give one defining, numerical score for the entire game. Elements either work together or they don't to make a good or bad experience. I think people rely too heavily on "are the graphics good" "is the audio good". It's should be a rating on the experience as a whole and whether it works or doesn't.
Can you imagine Mario working with the CryEngine 3? it just would not suit that type of game.

Ben said: You have to consider the system to an extent.
Should 3DS games be compared to PC?
tommo47 said: Ben said: You have to consider the system to an extent.
Should 3DS games be compared to PC?
Of course there is an extent. But is a 3DS the same type of console as a gaming PC? Considering the Wii, X360 and PS3 were all released, what, 12 months apart? 18? They all had relatively equal opportunity to adopt similar hardwares. Nintendo made their design choice, they made plenty of people happy with motion control, but I still don't think its correct to drop your standards to what the console can provide.
Again, I'm not saying this directly in relation to SS, or the review, just the comment I quoted earlier; it's a dangerous stance to take.
Ben said:
I would say the Wii is not competing with the PS3, 360 and PC then.
They are all HD and it's SD. So IMO you can compare those three against each other, but not the Wii.
E: FYI only taking visuals here. Everything else can be compared. Gameplay on the Wii should be critiqued against everything else.
Heller said: Yeah agreed it is a dangerous stance @tommo47 but that was not that case in SS - it deserves the 10/10 regardless of platform.
However in terms of SS it will never be on another console, so we won't have to worry about that.
Snix said: This is just my personal opinion, but I just can't believe that you can give this a perfect score if you've found faults in the game. It doesn't quite add up to me. You say that it "got stuff wrong" so by default it can't be a perfect game, and 10/10 is perfect. Sorry, just doesn't make sense to me. Great review by the way, I think I might bother to play this.
Beta said: Heller said: Not sure if srs?
I'm never srs
Froggy said: 10/10
i thought these reviews where meant to be impartial
but your not going to change it so im not going to rabbit on
i will just say now i will seriously be considering the integrity of all your other reviews
Heller said:
If you want to question the ............ another Zelda game.
Dicky said: Then why arn't scores dropped on this site? How about something like... (without the numbers)
10 - Unmissable
5 - Average
Bargain bin
0 - Avoid
I'm gonna give this a spin 2morro but i highly doubt its worth 10 on everything. Both Skyrim and Dark Souls look the better games both artistically and gameplay wise imo.
Heller said: Oh @Dicky
You gettin soft on me old chum?
Kurogane said: I question everything Heller does, and often times I find he's so far off the mark it's hilarious.
So hoping Skyward Sword is as good as he says.
Beta said: Kurogane said: I question everything Heller does, and often times I find he's so far off the mark it's hilarious.
So hoping Skyward Sword is as good as he says.
I assume those numbers in your sig represent the distance from Earth to the nearest Earth-like planet, in kilometers?
Heller said: @Kurogane just hates me, no big deal.
Kurogane said:
Heller said: @Kurogane just hates me, no big deal.I've never said this.
Kurogane said:
Marge said: in relation to tommos earlier comments, i think you should score relative to the console. It's like discrediting Uncharted's graphics because they are good, but they 'could' be better. Probably not on the current tech but they are still not the best graphics humanly possible. If it is as good as possible on the tech then it does deserve the highest possible score(in the graphics department). 'Good as possible' including art style, vibrancy, etc.
Heller said: Basically I see it as this
Exclusive games should be judged based on the hardware they are presented on, for the fact we'll never see if on other hardware, therefore you can't punish it for how it MAY look on another console.
Cross platform should all be judged on their own merits.
tommo47 said:
Another extreme example to end. Should every NES game ever made should get a 10 for graphics?
barters81 said: I soon as I saw the "What went wrong" part of the review, and saw that the score was a 10/10 I figured this was written with a little too much emotional love for the boy in green.
That said, I love Zelda too and will surely get right into this game. After I finish with Skyrim....and Mario 3d, and did I mention finishing with Skyrim?
Bayonetta said: my 12 year old sister was a massive fan of Zelda before this and she thinks it sucks me i would not touch this if you gave it to me, so please review a game on its worth and not what you love
Bayonetta said: you give this 10 out 10 my god i understand that you love this game and a massive fan of the Wii but i mean to say this is better than Batman, Uncharted 3, Skyrim
Bayonetta said: she thinks it sucks me
Dr_Mario said: This game has too many scenes, it gets in the way of the gameplay, what happened to games like oot where you had to figure it all out yourself, games are becoming way too "handholding" in my opinion.
pabebe23 is now Level 3!

Monsignor Georg Ratzinger, the brother of Supreme Pontiff Emeritus Benedict XVI said in a recent interview that Benedict still does not regret resigning one year on, Catholic News Agency reported yesterday. Monsignor Ratzinger told German reporter Michael Hesemann that his brother doesn't have any regrets. "My brother does not regret at all the decision he made one year ago," Monsignor Ratzinger said. "He very clearly understands the tasks and roles he wants to carry out, and the decision one year ago was clear and continues to be valid today."
The Pope Emeritus' brother is one of the world's foremost experts on sacred music, and was raised to the dignity of Pronotary Apostolic by Blessed Pope John Paul II. According to Monsignor Ratzinger, Benedict still keeps as active a schedule as possible. "My brother is in great health, he tries to have quiet time although he does not have all the time he would like to play the piano or receive phone calls, since he still has many visits and audiences." The Pontiff Emeritus continues his life of prayer and theological study, but his brother said that it was not known if he was writing his memoirs, which would not be published until after the former Pope's death in any event.
The two clerics still maintain a very close fraternal relationship. "I have a second telephone in my room that has a number only he knows, if that phone rings, I know it's my brother, the Pope, who is calling," Ratzinger explained

Shaun Woolford: Beaten to Death By Ex-Beau
Posted by Native NYker in devineil brown, domestic dispute, domestic violence, shaun woolford on November 9, 2012
We often hear of not so pretty stories involving an ex-beau, husband, lover, baby-daddy etc, that flies off the handle and, in a fit of rage attacks. The result is seldom pretty and always leaves us wondering WTF! This is one of those times.
Devineil Brown is accused of having visited his ex-beau Shaun Woolford of five years and delivering blunt-force trauma to his head resulting in death.
No word yet as to what initiated the violent outburst.
It gets prettier. Dumbass Brown then allegedly knocked on a neighbors' door and delivered a revised version of the alleged incident to a 911 operator to the tune of having arrived and finding Woolford laying on the floor.
Reports have Brown cracking under questioning a short time later.
And we are still left wondering WTF?
Sure, we have a friend down South who once hit an ex-military-lover over the head with a frying pan and knocked his ass out after the dude up and got all hands-on beat down with him. But that dude lived and they have never been in touch again.
That's the proper protocol.
But why is it that some folks can't part and go on about their business…? Why is it that folks – gay or straight – can't reconcile themselves with the fact that relationships end. Stories don't always have a happy ending. Disney is a myth!
And generally speaking, having further interactions with someone you once shared a lil-something-sumthing with, regardless of the length of time, doesn't require further communications once it is done.
Move the fuck on. Erase their number. Redirect your focus elsewhere. There are other pieces of ass to be experienced. Ain't no piece that good!
Well, in the case of Brown, he will get lots more to choose from when he is sent away. Assuredly that ass will get passed around the Block, with little opportunity to protest.
On a side note, Woolford's ink bares an awful-likeness to those sported by rapper Eve… Hmmmm.
Ricky Martin Denounces Anti-Gay Attack
Posted by Native NYker in homophobia, ricky martin on December 22, 2009
I never thought I would see the day when I would be giving kudos to Ricky Martin for officially addressing a gay topic. Sure he is a hot piece of ass (papi looks good in Speedo!) and has had some great sounds (I still bust a move to "She Bangs" & "La Vida Loca,") during a span of a long ass career, but the whole 'is he or isn't he' rubs me the wrong way.
This is not because I expect Martin to take a stance and become a gay advocate from a makeshift Miami pulpit but because he hasn't had the cojones to look into the camera and say "who I fuck is none of your goddamn business unless you want to suck my uncut cock!"
Of course he doesn't have to use my words – exactly… but along those lines…
And then he goes and releases a statement to the Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Dia addressing the recent heinous murder of Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado. In case you haven't heard of the story, google it!
"The murders of James Byrd, Matthew Shepard, Jorge Steven Lopez, Marcelo Lucero, Luis Ramirez and countless others who were victims of violent 'hate crimes' should be completely unacceptable to every human being; because we're all human beings. It's up to us to change the paradigm," Martin writes.
He gets deeper with "I hear the word 'tolerance' thrown around in the media when it comes to cases like the ones I mentioned above. One of the meanings of tolerance is 'the capacity to endure pain or hardship.' Another is 'the act of allowing something.' To me, those don't seem to encompass acceptance, by any definition. So how about this? Instead of saying 'we need to tolerate diversity' why not say, 'we need to accept diversity.'"
I especially love the tolerance vs acceptance portion! That breaks it down in simple terms. Fucking-A.
I don't know whether this is a result of his being a new daddy to twins – they say having kids makes you see things differently, but whatever the cause it is some Act Up sentiment right there! Bravo.

I'm divorced, and live with Stormie, my Staffordshire Bull Terrier, in the home my grandparents built in south Tampa in 1948. I've lived in Tampa most of my life, but was born in a little town called Opelika when my father was playing baseball at Auburn University.
I graduated from the University of Florida, and am an avid Gator fan. I'm not the typical Gator fan who doesn't like any 'Noles fans, since my mother and stepmother both went to FSU.
I have one grown son, Trevor, who lives in north Tampa with his mother.
I spend my spare time playing golf, tennis and tournament softball, trying to stay as active as possible.
I'm extremely easy to work with, and will make the most shy subject feel comfortable on their first shoot.
I started shooting at a young age, receiving my first 35mm camera, a Pentax K1000, as a Christmas gift from my grandfather when I was about 18.
My girlfriends through my late teens and twenties were my muses as I learned the craft. I was also a sports nut, and went to professional tennis tournaments in the 1980's so that I could photograph the likes of Chris Evert, Martina Navratalova, Steffi Graf, Jimmy Connors and Boris Becker up close.
in the mid-to-late 1990's, my wife at the time was getting into some fitness modeling. I submitted a few shots to Musclemag and some other fitness publications, and they liked what I showed them. I started honing my skills by shooting fitness models like Torrie Wilson, who went on to become a star in the WWF.
It was probably in the late 1990's that I started getting approached by models who wanted to pay me to shoot their portfolios.
I spent much of the 2000's shooting models all over the country. Toward the end of the decade, I got to shoot on the sidelines of pro football games, covering my first love, sports.
I also took a few high profile commercial gigs, shooting the likes of Carmen Electra and Daisy Fuentes for a cruise line in the Bahamas.
While I still shoot the occasional model for a portfolio upgrade, and take commercial shoots when they find me, I decided to transition into being more of a portrait photographer for this stage of my career.
I really love the satisfaction that comes from taking a family, some kids or a couple who have never shot with a professional photographer before, and giving them something they can treasure for a lifetime.

Servo Valve Design
In a hydraulic system that required a precise control of flow or pressure an electrohydraulic servo valve would be used. Servo valves use a torque motor to position the valve and are very precise. These valves are typically used in systems that contain little to no contamination. The valves internally are so close in tolerance that any contaminant could severely damage the valve. HyPneu can be used to simulate the performance of an electrohydraulic servo valve using different sets of parameters. In this case, the only data required to simulate the servo valve is the data for the flapper and the spool valve. All dimensional parameters of the servo valve are not required to run a simulation with this type of circuit.
|Pressure Compensated Pump
As it can been seen in the schematic, the pressure compensated pump consist of a pumping mechanism, a swash plate, controls, orifices, and a relief valve controlling the pressure setting. This pump design can be directly translated into a HyPneu drawing. In order to actually evaluate this pump through computer simulation, a drive motor and variable loading situations must be added to the circuit.
Cylinder Cushioning
In addition to the HyPneu circuit and simulation results, the simulation considers both compressibility and the clearance flow between the spear and the cushion cavity. Note the transient response shown in the results. This is mainly the dynamic effect due to fluid compressibility in the cushioning chamber that actually occurs in the real life cushioning process.

Hey guys, I haven't been on this site in Years! Since the end of Killjoys. Man, I would chat with all the homies here everyday after school–if I went–and this forum helped me through a really tough summer.
I'm gonna post some ongoing blogs I've been thinking about so if anyone wants to read some
Well today was an awesome day.
Is there really a difference? 0.0
holy shit i cant believe this thing still exists im just
Now if you read my older blogs you will see that I talk about my crush often. Well my crush has a cousin and they are best friends. Now his cousin is in my DT class. I'll call his cousin J just to make it easier to talk about.
Hello :-) How is everyone ?
i wish my chemical romance would reform and come back i miss them so much
I have to study for science, maths, English, drama, French and a couple of other weak tests but many of there are really important because they are for my GCSEs and some are like 30% of my grade. Some are mocks, some are official and some are just to test how much I know. IT'S ANNOYING!
Generally, I haven't actually posted on here. The 'community' doesn't seem very active at all.. I'd only just joined, so I have no clue how active it was before. But the sense of quietness kind of scares me. I don't want this community to be forgotten.
Lately I've been rather stressed.

I was a woman possessed. I could have hired someone else to do the work, but the thought never occurred to me. The same Yankee spirit that led my mother to clean out the brooks along the bridle path when they became clogged with debris; that led me to clean out the woods behind our house when I was a kid to create a "boys keep out" club; that led my grandfather to clear the woods behind his house to make room for a giant wigwam for us grandchildren, had now taken hold of me. There was no branch so large that I couldn't haul it to one of my piles. Twice I practically knocked my eyeball out with the end of a branch as I swung it around to throw on top of a heap. Sometimes I had to dig branches out of the snow.
By spring I had moved on to the land underneath, covered with all the green stuff that carpets a forest floor. I got down on my hands and knees and started yanking things out by the roots. Day after day, I pulled. I made the trail two people wide. After five days, I was one yard in. Weeks later, I was seven yards in. "Place the flags every 10 feet or so," my brother said. When I'd made a clean path the distance of six flags, I pulled them out of the ground victoriously—but I had dozens more in front of me.
"Backbreaking work" was no longer a figure of speech. My back was breaking; my fingers were cut and callused (pulling up roots, I'd found, was better done with my bare hands than with gloves on). "Do you enjoy doing this?" Standing near me—I was now on flag 10—was a farmer who lived down the road. I told him I knew it was crazy what I was doing, but I was on a mission. I needed to get the trail done by the time it was warm. I needed to get it done for my mother. I needed to get it done before she didn't know it was there. Before she didn't know who I was.
"Roundup," the farmer said. It would be a lot easier if I sprayed Roundup to kill the weeds. Actually, it would be a lot easier if he brought over his tractor. He could clear the path in a couple of hours. And so he came over and cleared the path. My brother, who'd been advising me long distance, arrived for a visit, and we rented a wood chipper and started work on all those 10-foot branch piles. With a snow shovel, I lifted the wood chips onto the newly cleared path. I had a sign made saying: Charlotte Burr Evans Walking Trail. Opened 2010. My brother hung it on the first tree at the entrance to the trail.
My mother was still living in her house. She didn't want to leave it, even though she'd fallen down the stairs twice. She was an independent woman, dammit, and she would stay independent. Against her wishes, we'd gotten her a live-in companion. She couldn't stand having someone else in the house. In fact, she couldn't stand all the people she imagined were living in her house. She insisted there wasn't just "this woman"—there were the three children who kept coming into her bedroom. One of them, she said, slept under her bed; the two others got right under the covers with her. She tried to persuade them to return to school. She said she would drive them (small detail: her license had been taken away when the police caught her driving on the wrong side of the road). And then there were the friends of my father, she said, who kept coming up the driveway. "Why don't they bring your father with them?" she asked. She would like to see him. I told her so would I, but he died seven years ago. When she fell out of her bed, she thought she'd fallen in the woods. She'd been lying there for hours, she said, and was so relieved that she'd been found.
My brother continued cutting down trees that stood in the way of the path; I continued using the wood chips to define the trail and make it softer on the feet. We worked each day until there was no more sunlight. My sister arrived, and then we drove down to pick up our mom. She had gotten more fragile over the winter. She wasn't eating much. This woman who had towered over me was now shorter than I was. When I cupped her arm to walk her to the trail, I could feel her bones. She was, as we found out a few days later when we put her on a scale, barely 100 pounds.

My SO and I are not married, not engaged. We are however, in a very committed, loving relationship. We have been TTC for 2 years, and suffered a m/c in April.
Now, I know that not all people that we announce our pregnancy to know the past, but they do know we are together and happy. So then thy do people feel the need to make comments such as, "So when are you going to make an honest woman out of her? This wasn't planned was it? I just can't believe you two aren't married."
I'm not asking for people's approval, I'm simply stating that I"M PREGNANT!!
Of course, the people closest to us are more than thrilled for our LO. I just don't understand people sometimes!!
Anyone else have any less than amazing feedback/comments when you announced?

Software engineers develop really big software applications. Since a lot of people are going to have to work on the software, the quality of the internal design of the software matters. We need good ways to divide the system into pieces so different people can work on it and so that functionality can continue to be added to it. There are specialized tools and team management processes that we use to ensure that the pieces we are building will fit together without losing any functionality. In addition, we need to be able to predict when we will be able to make a quality deliverable to our customer. A bachelor's degree in software engineering earned from Shippensburg University will prepare you for this rewarding field.
The Mathematics and Computer Technologies Center is home to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the university's Information and Computing Technologies Center (ICTC). These two departments work together to provide state-of-the-art computing facilities for our students. All computing facilities on campus have access to the Internet, and you will be given an e-mail account and space for a webpage. In addition, 24-7 labs are available around campus. By providing you with the tools and resources you'll need to succeed in the field, you will become an active learner prepared for a variety of careers.
Many computing resources will be available to you, including:
The undergraduate software engineering program at Shippensburg requires an industrial internship. This experience enables you to encounter actual work situations. Usually, the internship is during the summer before the senior year. Some students choose 6-month internships during both their junior and senior years and graduate after 5 years with one year of practical experience under their belts. These internships are with leading companies and national and state agencies. You can build connections with these companies that may help you begin your career after graduation.
Software engineers are ranked 8 out of 10 in The Best Jobs of 2015. Ship's software engineering graduates are sought by software development organizations that have rigorous demands on their software. This includes military applications, fault tolerant applications like airplane control systems, and applications that are too large to fit on one machine. Also, large software development organizations employ software engineers to coordinate the activities of many software developers.
This means that software engineers can work on anything from PC-based applications to real-time embedded control systems to enterprise-wide systems. Since they are well versed in computer science techniques, software engineers can work in any software development activity, and take on multiple roles as managers, testers, marketers, and customer supporters.
The average salary for software developers in PA is $72,000.
If you plan to study software engineering in college, you should take 4 years of math in high school: algebra I and II, geometry and trigonometry. Advanced Placement credit is available for those who were successful in calculus or computer science in high school. Our students typically have some experience with computers, but no programming experience is required. Communication skills, both oral and written, are also critical for students entering the program.
Undergraduate software engineering students complete a core of computer science courses and specialized courses in project management, large-scale architectures, and team product development. The first 2 years consist of a core of computer science and mathematics courses including:
In the upper-division courses, students will continue to learn advanced computer science techniques like database management. In addition, they will take courses in software design and software engineering techniques.
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering offers a computer science minor, which is especially attractive to students seeking to combine other disciplines with computer science.
The department has a student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). It is active in bringing in speakers from firms involved in computing, assisting with department and university activities, and holding annual game-a-thons.
The Programming Team is a unique student organization at Ship. Our team competes with other colleges and universities on the basis of members' ability to write correct programs as quickly as possible. The team consistently places well in the ACM regional contest. In recent years, the team has placed in the top twenty out of more than one hundred colleges and universities, beating teams like Princeton, University of Delaware, and University of Pennsylvania.
Women in Computer Science (WiCS) promotes an inclusive community within the department and provides a place for our female students to meet and share experiences. Through podcasts showcasing our female students, WiCS actively promotes an increase in the percentage of women in the discipline.

Owen Smith's comic style needs very little introduction. His portrait of Jay Z as Jackie Robinson has been a Rolling Stone cover. He's done cover art for the New Yorker, the LA Times and Sports Illustrated. Currently the Chair of the Illustration Program at the California College of the Arts, his style is comic realism. The main classic comic element at play here is exaggeration. Facial features are almost over-the-top, but still realistic enough to avoid being mistaken for caricature.

Buying or Renting a Guitar
My son, 11 years old, wants to play the electic guitar or electric bass. Can anyone recommend a particular brand or model for a beginner, that is good enough to sound good and be encouraging, but not too expensive, since I don't know how serious he is about playing?
Full-sized Guitar for 2-year-old?
My two-and-a-half-year old loves guitar music and becomes mesmerized whenever he sees someone playing one. He's told me that we need one for him. I played years ago in college, and would welcome the chance to pick up a few chords again. But I mostly want to find something that will work for my son and keep his interest in playing music. So my question is, should I get an inexpensive full-sized guitar that we can both play ( and that I would not mind too much if he dropped small trucks inside), or should I start him out on one of those kid-sized guitars? Would such a thing keep both of our interests long enough to learn to play? Would it be better for him to see me playing too? Carolyn
Subway Guitar in Berkeley might rent guitars. They would also be able to recommend a hip, but patient teacher. Hope this helps, Jamie
-- Is Guitar Center the best place to ask and look, or -- do they push the new, expensive equipment?
They do tend to push new, expensive stuff; worse, prices are negotiable and you have to go through an annoying ritual of haggling as in buying a used car.
I suggest you try either Univibe (corner of Adeline and Alcatraz) or Subway (Cedar Street, a couple blocks West of MLK). You'll be treated with more respect. Subway, a Berkeley landmark, has to be seen to be believed: around 10,000 guitars in a room the size of a living room! Both have lots of used equipment (not necessarily cheaper than new Asian-made instruments, but with more substance, history and style).
This is from my husband, who is a jazz guitarist and elementary school teacher, and has a lot of experience teaching guitar to children - A good place to find a used electric guitar is Subway Guitars on Cedar. Expect to spend $170-300 on a used electric guitar which will be good enough quality that your son won't be frustrated. It's better to spend a little more on a decent quality instrument then to buy a super-cheap instrument which will frustrate him to the point where he either gives up, or you need to buy the better instrument anyway.
I started playing guitar as a teenager and made many mistakes along the way. My first mistake was getting an inferior quality guitar. When you're first learning it's very important to have a guitar that's easy to play (i.e. the strings aren't too high off the neck) and stays in tune. Many cheap guitars suffer from one or both of these problems. Another mistake was being influenced by how a guitar looks. If you go into Guitar Center there are literally walls full of scary-looking guitars made to attract teenagers.
My advice would be to try to find a used guitar. In addition to a lower price, the chances are greater that any built-in problems will have become obvious. Guitar Center isn't too bad, and the one in El Cerrito isn't too high pressure, but you will be at a disadvantage no matter where you buy from. For used guitars you might try Subway Guitars on Cedar. It's a messy small place full of all kind of interesting guitars. They're lower pressure than Guitar Center and you could probably rely on them to select a good used guitar for a beginner.

Wow, bad ass theme! I uploaded the child theme too since I want to make some mods to the event meta boxes. I copied the /backend/posttypes/posttypes-events.php file into my child theme and made the mods, but it's not recognizing? Do I have to create a custom functions.php too? Thanks!
LOVE the theme… just wondering..I am always getting a Twitter API error… It has worked a few times..but often times the error on the Muse Twitter widgets…both of them..what could cause this?
Just purchased the theme and the documentation doesnt work. I tried the link in the pdf and it leads to nothing. Help?
Nevermind. I fixed it by removing "HTTP://" from the documentation link.http://docs.grandpixels.com/muse/
Awesome theme. Purchased and installed and everything seemed fine. Now if I try to adjust the background color for events or callouts, the change never applies. Is this a bug?
@Aaveryiii the color changes work if you hit the save button but the preview pane is broken. Just make your changes and load the site in another tab.
How did you change the callout colors? I don't see that option
@mmillo1 – Thanks for the response. However, if I edit an event and change the "background color" option and hit "update". The changes don't save even if I load the site in a new browser or refresh the browser.
You change the callouts "background color" by editing the callout. It has the same "background color" option as editing an event.
Hi there,
can you provide a link to your site? And possibly also the login details to your WordPress? You can send me it through the contact form on my profile.
I am trying to use a wide logo on top. What do I have to change in order to make that possible?
Thanks in advance for the help. arbeni
Hi there,
it's possible, just use the wide logo, there isn't anything to change. Just some styles in "style-responsivity.css" for other devices.
Hi, Thanks for this great artwork! I would like to give a small feedback for the template! Everything is fine but I think it would be better if a classic blogstyle desinged. Sometimes we need a non-pinterest style blog pages
I have found this theme after I checked nearly 2000 themes Regards!
Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words, really appreciate it
is there a place to see all the available page templates live?
Hi there,
all templates you can see in action on demo site: http://demo.grandpixels.com/?theme=muse
Just purchased this a few days ago. GREAT THEME!
i have 2 issues at the moment, as this is my first site i did on my own.
1. i uploaded a logo for the header – its 325×80 —when i look at it on my phone, it fills the entire top of the screen, blocking the menu section. any idea how to edit this? can i have a smaller logo show when it loads via mobile?
2. Is a way to remove the page sidepage from my contact (form) page while still having it on my default pages?
Hi there,
thank you so much.
- Try to add this into "Custom CSS" field in Theme Options:
@media only screen and (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 480px), only screen and (max-width: 320px) { header.header .logo-image a img { display: none; } header.header .logo-image a { width: 190px; height: 80px; background-image: url(http://localhost/muse/wp-content/themes/muse/images/logo.png) !important; } }... and change the url of the image, height and width
- Open "template-contact.php" and firstly remove the lines 389 – 395, then remove the lines 224 – 230, then find the lines 24 – 28 and replace these lines by:
$content_class = 'one-entire';
Hope this helps
Thanks! is there a way to combine both type of event listings (past events too).
You're welcome.
I don't how you mean it exactly, but if you want to display both of events (upcoming and past) on one page, just use one of the page template "Events" or "Events List" and in "Theme Options > Reading (tab) > Events (section) > Past Events on Events Page" set to "Enabled".
Best regards
I apologize for the vagueness. What I am looking to do, is display the past events in the grid format and the upcoming events in the list form, on the same page. Is that possible? Sorry for all the questions, I'm new to this.
I follow all the instructions for translation, but it doesnt work? I have sent an e-mail to you but couldnt get reponse from you.
How can I translate? Is there anyone who could translate the theme?
Hi there,
the response has been sent through the email.
Is it possible to add a mp3 player to the home page?
Hi there,
unfortunately not.
Hey – do you have PSD's for this theme?
If so, is it possible to get them?
Is this theme compatible with different languages? Will google fonts support greek?
Previously I has asked about the ability to view this theme through mobile devices, particularly via Android version 2.3.6. Have you been able to double check as to whether this theme is showing correctly? I'd like to be sure that this is the case before purchasing this theme.
In addition to the above question, "Previously I had asked". Does this theme also allow for different video (music, sports, tech) and event (festival, concert, workshop) categories, allowing for me to also create a menu button for each one of those categories?
Is this good for dance festival?
is there a changelog for the update that just came out?
Just great work. How can I change the date format, lets say from 2013/02/07 to 02/07/2013 etc.? Thanks in advance.

Estudio experimental clínico-funcional mediante dos modalidades de vendaje neuromuscular (Kinesio Taping) en el paciente con riesgo evolutivo de insuficiencia venosa;
Short-term effects of two Kinesio taping applications in patients with risk of severe chr venous insufficiency

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a prevalent pathology, with some typicalsigns and symptoms that cause significant socio-economic cost and impact on quality oflife. Pain, despite being a recurrent symptom in this pathology, has scarcely beenstudied. Compression therapy is the standard method for non-invasive CVI treatment;however, it has been indicated that the patient seldom follows this type of treatment.Kinesio Taping is a new technique of neuromuscular bandaging that can affectmuscular and joint function, decrease pain and influence lymph and venous circulation.No previous studies have been found on the application of this bandaging on patientswith CVI.The main objectives of this doctoral thesis are to describe the characteristics ofpain in postmenopausal women with CVI and its relationship with risk factors; andassessing the efficacy of two application of neuromuscular bandaging (Kinesio Taping[KT]) on musculoskeletal alterations, specific venous symptomatology, pain, severityand quality of life in postmenopausal women at short-term risk of severe CVI (CEAPC1-C3).A total of 259 patients with initial CVI and 40 healthy women that fulfilled thecriteria for inclusion participated in the studies for this thesis.The main findings and conclusions are: a) postmenopausal women with CVIpresent intense pathological pain and lowered nociceptive thresholds, suggesting thatthere is central sensitization; the pain is principally related with peripheral venous refluxand with the pain and functional limitation induced by knee or hip osteoarthritis; b) theuse of the Pain Matcher device seems to be a valid technique for assessing chronicvenous pain; c) applying standardised bandaging with KT in postmenopausal women atshort-term risk of severe CVI can reduce the specific venous symptomatology, pain andclinical severity and increase the bioelectric activity of the gastrocnemius muscle; d) themethod of mixed KT-peripheral compression seems to improve ankle dorsiflexionduring walking, gait parameters, peripheral venous flow, specific venoussymptomatology, foot and malleolar oedema, pain, clinical severity and quality of life,while it increases the general state of health slightly, in postmenopausal women at riskof short-term severe CVI; and e) KT can have a placebo effect on venous pain.Our findings help to clarify the mechanisms involved in pain from CVI andsupport the use of KT as an alternative bandaging technique for managing thesymptoms associated with venous pathology in initial stages.

What happens when we have a day of fun 8/2/14
I think I can declare August 2nd, 2014 as a day of vacationing. We didn't have to meet with any representatives, so we had took this day to do all of our laundry. Lets not get into just how much there was to be done. So, to pass the time of waiting we had went boating out on Lava Lake. I took a bunch of photos pretty much everywhere I had went. Here is one picture taken of a flock of Merganzers we had encountered.
The very first time seeing these birds, we were just launching off of the boat dock and they were swimming in front of us. I remember looking away because I had a waterproof video recorder and was filming all around, and when I looked back I noticed that all of these birds were completely gone. I said "hey what the heck? Where'd they go?!" Sure enough, a minute later they all popped their heads out of the water in sync. I thought that was really awesome.
Aside from them there were Cormerants, at least one Osprey, and two American Bald Eagles. The Osprey and one of the Eagles were going at it for one moment, and I did try really hard to snap pictures of them but they were begrudgingly too far out of my camera's range. So I was forced to watch with only my own two achaash (eyes).
Once the Bald eagle versus Osprey spectacle had ended, we boated to the very far side of the lake and that was where I decided to jump into the water. Let me say here that it almost felt divine to go swimming there; my only hindering being that I wear contact lenses which prevents me from looking underwater. Regardless, Lava Lake is a gorgeous body of water and offers a wonderful backdrop of some mountains. The day we were there, a massive storm front hovered over a mountain range to the North east and the view likely could not have been any better.

Although the Brics offers advantages, it will not always make sense to go along with its decisions, say Peter Draper and Catherine Grant.
Time is running out for the World Trade Organisation. Can the WTO's weary membership go once more into the breach after its most recent failure? The consequences of failing to achieve a Doha round agreement would be severe. The multilateral trading system, while imperfect and iniquitous in parts, is worth saving, warts and all.
"In Hong Kong in December last year, I watched as South Korean farmers, in a sophisticated military-style operation, engaged the police in a fierce melee outside the convention centre. Their struggle, as Peter Mandelson reminded us later the same day is to maintain their privileges in the face of potential liberalisation through the Doha round," writes Peter Draper.

NVIDIA are loving it right now, teasing the world with a "top-secret" box which is so-obviously packing a dual-Fermi based GeForce GTX 590. There will be more information available on March 24, which meets the latest rumors of a launch on that day.
The video is quite short but gives you enough of a tease, Tom is even running Crysis 2 in the backround. I'm pretty sure he forgot to say "HA HA" in the video, but I'm sure you could imagine Nelson from the Simpsons doing this in your own mind. Not long to go now ladies and gents! GTX 590 should be ready to stick its green thumb in the air.

These islands, the Bonin Islands in the northwest Pacific Ocean, have become famous as a refuge for marine and bird wildlife. They are part of the country of Japan and oddly, within Tokyo prefecture, even though the city is hundreds of miles west.
People come to see and interact with humpback whales, spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, sperm whales, dogtooth tuna, ragged tooth nurse sharks, sea turtles and occasionally spotted dolphins, short-finned pilot whales, whale sharks and other pelagics.
They are better known around Japan as the Ogasawara Islands. The people are outgoing and friendly and the island is wild and green. The seas here are rich and clear. It one of Nature's treasure chest's.
We'll use Yoko as our guide and follow her to see the beauty of the island above and below the sea in this photographic visual tour of this special place. Its one of the most magical places I have ever visited.
Enjoy the trip!

Nice book Tim. A place I've had on my radar for a while, with particular interest in sperm whales. Did you see any on your trip? Would also be interested in advice re travel to Ogasawara and quality of the ship...my wife is highly selective so, if i would want her to accompany me, I'd need some compelling evidence that it was comfortable!! : ))
Book my wife and I produced from a number of yearly visits to Azores is also on Blurb (free as an ebook) "a curious secret: sperm whales of the Azores"

Being that the majority of the time I spend behind this keyboard is done so to create books, time is never so prevalent within my world. It is a luxury to be sure. But when you have four books in progress, well, it can divide your thought process and creativity.
I will never complain about work. The more the better. Within my sphere my work has allowed me to meet many luminaries of rock and roll whom I never would have even thought I'd have the chance to meet let alone befriend. The nature of writing with people is that you are asked to immerse yourself within their life. Not just their story but their entire being. I have to become Tommy Roe. I have to become Jim McCarty. I have to become Jim Yester. I have to spend time focused on what made them part of the rock and roll world and do what I can to adapt to their personality to bring out their essence within the story. It's not enough to simply write words. That isn't what anyone wants to read. What you the fans want to read is that which comes from their heart and it's more than just providing an interesting story.
I guess in a way, there is no possibility of explaining how this all is done. I do know as I've spent time with my friends working on their stories I do learn more and more about life itself. So much of each is a part of the music they make. Musicians are artists who paint on a canvas of sound. No matter what instrument they use, the colors are as vivid as any used by Picasso. Why is a word in a song "A" rather than "The"? Simple things like that illustrate a thought process.
I know this probably isn't the most interesting article you will read on the net, but you see, it's all in how you interpret interesting. Why is it no one artist has ever been able to sell a recording to every individual in the entire world? Because everyone has different priorities and interests. Even Elvis and the Beatles failed to sell records to at least 90% of the world's population. Imagine that. How do I know? Well the world's population at the time of Elvis' death was about 3.5 billion I think. To sell to 10% of that he would have had to sell 350,000,000 records. No single record ever sold that many copies. Yes, artists have sold that many in total. But not one single recording.
So you see, even though there are songs and recordings that have captured the fancy and imagination of countless millions, really the numbers are not so grand when taken into context.
What does any of this have to do with me? Nothing and yet everything. The creation of art whether it be story, song or picture is done so for only one reason… The fans. The fans make the difference. Without you, there would be no point to any creativity or imagination. And so my work on behalf of and as surrogate to these wonderful artists is something that I take seriously and do with love.

Season four of "The Walking Dead" just wrapped, and now fans are being teased even more about the companion spin-off series. On April 1, Seriable shared the latest comments made by Robert Kirkman about the new spin-off. Work is definitely moving forward on the project.
Kirkman revealed in a new interview that he is working with Dave Erickson on the series, and he is definitely excited about the direction the series is taking. He said the following:
I'm very excited about this idea of doing this companion show for The Walking Dead because people aren't quite aware of all the different new angles we can go in and the new kind of stories we can tell and just how unique and exciting and how much this show can stand alone.
"The Walking Dead" has definitely managed to grab viewers on AMC. The series breaks records constantly. These new comments don't reveal much about the actual plot of the series, but it will go places that the original series has not. Previous interviews and spoilers for the spin-off have teased new characters and locations for the spin-off, and Kirkman's comments are in line with that.
What do you think? Are you ready for the companion series? It will arrive on AMC in 2015.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama junior linebacker Dont'a Hightower and senior linebacker Courtney Upshaw were each selected as one of 12 semifinalists for the 27th annual Butkus Award, which goes to the nations' top linebacker it was announced on Monday afternoon.
Hightower and Upshaw lead an Alabama's defense that ranks No. 1 in the country in both scoring (6.89) and total defense (180 yards per game).
Hightower, a native of Lewisburg, Tenn., leads the team with 48 tackles including 6.0 tackles for loss (-22 yards), 1.5 sacks, one interception, six quarterback hurries and three passes defended. He was a semifinalist for the 2010 Butkus Award. Hightower was named the Lott IMPACT National Player of the Week and the SEC Defensive Player of the Week on Monday following his performance against Tennessee.
Upshaw, a native of Eufaula, Ala., has a team-best 11.5 tackles for loss (-54 yards) and a team-high 4.5 sacks (-35 yards). He is third on the team in tackles with 26 stops, including 19 unassisted tackles. Upshaw returned his only interception, against Florida, 45 yards for a touchdown and has a team-high seven quarterback hurries and two forced fumbles.
"This Award is about honoring linebackers at all levels, and reminding them that they have a responsibility to serve as role models and to give back to society," said Dick Butkus, the legendary Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker.
Other semifinalists include: Zach Brown, North Carolina; Vontaze Burfict, Arizona State; Audie Cole, North Carolina State; Lavonte David, Nebraska; Luke Kuechly, Boston College; Travis Lewis, Oklahoma; Keenan Robinson, Texas; Sean Spence, Miami; Manti Te'o, Notre Dame; Jarvis Jones, Georiga.
Alabama has had two Butkus Award winners with Derrick Thomas taking home the award in 1988 and Rolando McClain this past season.
The Butkus Award is selected by a 51-person panel comprised of scouts, coaches and journalists. Selectors follow all rules of their leagues, including limitations on contact with players. Individual votes remain completely confidential. Finalists will be announced on Nov. 22 and the winner will be reveled on Dec. 7.
The Award was expanded in 2008 to honor linebackers at three levels while helping spread the word about Butkus' I Play CleanTM initiative, which encourages teens to eat well, train hard, and play with attitude, instead of resorting to steroids and related drugs. More information is available at www.iplayclean.org or at www.facebook.com/i.play.clean.
