That's about all it takes to toss 2000 water balloons.
The annual event, coordinated by researcher Christophe Morisseau of the Hammock lab, begins at 3 p.m., Friday, July 22 on the north lawn of Briggs Hall, Kleiber Hall Drive.
Tabbed the alliterative "Bruce's Big Battle at Briggs," the water balloon battle draws professors, researchers, visiting scientists, postdoctoral scholars, graduate students and undergraduate students and their friends and families in showcasing what the internationally known Hammock lab does for camaraderie and fun.
Temperatures are expected to reach 97 degrees.
Hammock, a distinguished professor of entomology who holds a joint appointment with the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology and the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, launched the water balloon fest in 2003 as a way to build camaraderie and gain relief from the heat.
A member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, he directs the campuswide Superfund Research and Training Program, an interdisciplinary program funded by the National Institute of Environmental Sciences (NIEHS) that has brought in almost $60 million to the UC Davis campus. The Hammock lab is also the home of the National Institutes of Health Training Grant in Biomolecular Technology. The lab alumni, totaling more than 100 graduates, hold positions of distinction in academia, industry and government as well as more than 300 postdoctorates.
Balloon filling starts at 1:15 in Room 82 of Briggs Hall. All are invited to participate, but "no filling/no throwing," Morisseau said. Many are expected to watch.
The event was canceled last year due to the severity of the drought.
In 2014, the water warriors took drought-conservation precautions.
"We did try filling the balloons differently this year to conserve water," Hammock lab program manager Cindy McReynolds said that year. "We devised a filling station out of drip line and valves so we could fill the balloons outside and also turn off the water when not in use. Water conservation was a big topic surrounding the event, so we also used it as an opportunity to discuss ways we have changed our daily routines to conserve water."
As an extra bonus, the annual battle provides a little water for the thirsty Briggs Hall lawn, which is used by campus wildlife, including ducks, turkeys, squirrels, birds, butterflies and bees.
The Society of Nematologists (SON) will present him with its Teaching Excellence Award at its 55th annual meeting, set July 17 – 21 in the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Caswell-Chen, who joined the UC Davis Department of Nematology (now the Department of Entomology and Nematology) in 1989, was praised as being an "exemplary teacher who loves to teach and interact with his students."
"Ed is known for his enthusiasm, dedication, high-quality instruction and keen interest in helping his students understand and appreciate nematology—from the undergraduate level to the graduate level and beyond," his nominators said.
"If I had to distill my endorsement of Ed into a single sentence, it would be that he has unbridled passion and dedication when it comes to getting undergraduates excited about science," said nematologist Steve Nadler, professor and chair of the Department of Entomology and Nematology. "His dedication to teaching is truly altruistic, and although he has maintained a solid program of research, his major effort in recent years has involved teaching undergraduate and graduate students."
Over the last five years, Caswell-Chen has taught 24 undergraduate courses, enrolling some 2400 students. His commitment to teaching includes five years of service as associate dean of the Graduate Program, UC Office of Graduate Studies. He is a former chair of the UC Davis Department of Nematology, and the Graduate Group in Ecology.
Caswell-Chen, who considers teaching his No. 1 priority, says the classroom is "an important forum for communication with students, and an opportunity for outreach with respect to the Agricultural Experiment Station mission, especially when lecturing to undergraduates in nematology, animal biology, and science and society courses." His students describe his courses as informative, interesting and engaging.
Caswell-Chen said his philosophy of teaching "is that to be effective, teaching must engage students by highlighting the relevance of course material, and instructors must capture student attention through enthusiasm and supportive stimulation of student creativity. Interaction helps students learn how to think, ask questions, and form connections among the diverse facts they learn in their courses."
"If students are participating and engrossed with the topic in the classroom, they don't immediately realize that they are learning—they are carried along by their thinking and engagement with the material," he said. "All of these features of effective classroom instruction are relatively easy to attain when the subject matter is nematology—and biology, for that matter—because of the field's many fascinating and relevant aspects. In a nematology course, one can incorporate a wide range of intriguing topics, from nematode biodiversity and the deep, hot biosphere to soil ecology, to the fascinating interactions between nematodes and other organisms, to the importance of animal parasites and means for their management, to plant parasites, nematicides, and genetic engineering of crop plants for nematode resistance, to topics in aging and neurobiology from research on the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans."
Caswell-Chen is known for his research on the life history and ecology of C. elegans, a free-living or non-parasitic nematode that lives in temperate soil environments.
His interest and dedication to undergraduate education is reflected in his current service as the chair of the UC Davis Academic Senate Undergraduate Council, membership on the UC system-wide Educational Policy Committee, and his recent appointment as vice chair of that same Educational Policy Committee for the coming academic year.
UC Davis researcher Kristi Sanchez, former undergraduate student who received her doctorate from him in 2014 and served as his teaching assistant, described him as "the best professor I've ever had."
"I have not met another professor at UC Davis who not just focuses on his research but enjoys, loves and wants to make teaching classes a priority for undergraduate students," Sanchez said. "He is always about the students and making sure they understand the material. He always goes out of his way to provide more office hours so they can learn the material better or ask questions. And he is a professor who has the students text him instead of emailing him. The students love it."
She credited him with inspiring her to pursue her degree and career in nematology. "Ed has given me many opportunities to pursue research questions that I would like to investigate, provides great advice and not just as a major professor but a father figure. He has pushed me to follow my goals and with my hard work, anything is possible."
Said graduate student Chris Pagan, who has known Caswell-Chen for 12 years, beginning as an undergraduate student and then as a lab technician: "Ed makes the classroom a comfortable place. He is always approachable, and always genuinely interested in hearing what students have to say. Ed is always revising his lecture material and methods. He is constantly seeking new ways to keep students engaged."
Nematologist Becky Westerdahl, UC Davis professor of entomology and nematology, praised Caswell-Chen for his excellence in teaching and as "one of the first professors at UC Davis to embrace the use of World Wide Web technology for teaching…He was instrumental in obtaining, establishing and maintaining the first web server for teaching in the Department of Nematology." She said Caswell-Chen provides his students with "an excellent foundation, not just as future researchers, but as future educators as well."
Caswell-Chen also teaches animal biology courses and Science and Society courses. He sometimes teaches freshman seminars by using the Campus Book Project selections, such as "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria" and "Half the Sky." He has also taught his own selection of topics, including "The Ancient Middle East: Cradle of Civilization, Religion and Science" and "Protest Songs."
Caswell-Chen received his bachelor's and master's degrees in botany and plant pathology from Michigan State University in 1979 and 1982, respectively, and his doctorate in 1985 in plant pathology from UC Riverside. He began his academic career in 1985 as an assistant professor in the University of Hawaii's Department of Plant Pathology before joining the UC Davis faculty in 1989.
Activities, free and open to the public, will take place inside the museum, located in Room 1124 of the Academic Surge Building on Crocker Lane, and outside the building where black lighting will be set up to observe and collect moths and other insects.
Entomology graduate student Jessica Gillung will participate, "so there will be an entomologist fluent in Spanish and Portuguese on site," said Tabatha Yang, the Bohart Museum's education and outreach coordinator.
Visitors are invited to view the Bohart Museum's vast collection of worldwide moth specimens and participate in family friendly craft activities featuring a moth motif. Scientists will explain how to differentiate a moth from a butterfly. Free hot chocolate will be served.
The event is in keeping with International Moth Week: Exploring Nighttime Nature, July 23-31, a citizen science project celebrating moths and biodiversity. The annual event is held the last week of July.
Moths continue to attract the attention of the entomological world and other curious persons. Scientists estimate that there may be more than 500,000 moth species in the world. They range in size from a pinhead to as large as an adult's hand. Most moths are nocturnal, but some fly during the day, as butterflies do. Finding moths can be as "be as simple as leaving a porch light on and checking it after dark," according to International Moth Week officials (http://nationalmothweek.org/), "Serious moth aficionados use special lights and baits to attract them."
The Bohart Museum, directed by Lynn Kimsey, professor of entomology at UC Davis, is a world-renowned insect museum that houses a global collection of nearly 8 million specimens. It also maintains a live "petting zoo," featuring walking sticks, Madagascar hissing cockroaches and tarantulas. A gift shop, open year around, includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, books, jewelry, posters, insect-collecting equipment and insect-themed candy.
The Bohart Museum's regular hours are from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. The museum is closed to the public on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and on major holidays. Admission is free.
More information on the Bohart Museum is available by contacting (530) 752-0493 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The European Grapevine Moth Team received the 2016 "distinguished service award for outstanding team." The members "coordinated a program that saved the wine and table grape industries from economic disaster caused by an invasive insect," according to UC ANR Vice President Glenda Humiston.
"The impact of the team's work has reduced quarantines for European grapevine moth from 10 counties in 2010 to a portion of one county at the end of 2015 and no moths have been trapped in the last remaining quarantine zone since 2013," Humiston noted. "If no European grapevine moths are trapped in this zone in 2016, the last remaining quarantine for the pest will be lifted."
Humiston called the team "an excellent example of UC ANR working with government and industry partners under the Endemic and Invasive Pests and Diseases Strategic Initiative."
Zalom, a past president of the 7000-member Entomological Society of America (ESA) and a past director of the UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management (UC IPM), is the lead author of the European Grapevine Moth provisional guidelines page on the UC IPM website. Co-authors are Lucia Varela, UC Cooperative Extension, North Coast and Mountain Region, and Monica Cooper, UC Cooperative Extension, Napa County.
In addition to Zalom, Varela and Cooper, the European Grapevine Moth Team included:
- Walter Bentley, UC IPM entomologist emeritus
- Larry Bettiga, UC Cooperative Extension advisor in Monterey County
- Kent Daane, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the UC Berkeley Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management (ESPM)
- Rhonda Smith, UC Cooperative Extension advisor in Napa County
- Robert Van Steenwyk, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the UC Berkeley ESPM
- Joyce Strand, UC IPM academic coordinator emeritus
The distinguished service awards are given biennially for outstanding contributions to the teaching, research and public service mission of UC ANR.
The European Grapevine Moth is a serious pest of grapes; it causes significant damage to the flowers and berries. Native to Southern Italy, it was first reported in the United States in Napa County vineyards in October 2009. It is now found throughout Europe, North and West Africa, the Middle East, and eastern Russia.
(Editor's Note: See other UC ANR awards presented)
He will receive the award in September at the ESA meeting in Orlando, Fla., being held in conjunction with the International Congress of Entomology (ICE).
Loeb's laboratory is located at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, N.Y., where he has research and extension responsibilities for grapes and small fruit crops.
Loeb received his doctorate in entomology from UC Davis in 1989, studying with Professor Rick Karban. He earlier (1977) received his bachelor's degree at UC Davis, majoring in vertebrate zoology. "I was really into ornithology as an undergraduate but shifted to insect ecology as I was finishing up my master's (in ecology) at San Diego State," he said.
Excerpts from the ESA award announcement:
"Broadly speaking, his research focuses on species interactions involving plants, herbivores, natural enemies, and, more recently, microbes, with the specific applied goal of developing novel approaches to pest management. Along with collaborators, his research on tritrophic interactions involving leaf morphology (acarodomatia) and predatory and mycophagous mites has established new directions in plant breeding for enhancing conservation biological control.
"He is currently directing considerable research effort toward developing a better understanding of the biology and management of the invasive species spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii), a significant pest of soft-skinned fruit crops throughout much of North America and abroad. Projects include the chemical ecology and behavior of host finding as a basis for behavioral management, overwintering and spring biology, monitoring and decision making, interactions with microbes, including biological control with entomopathogens, mechanical control using netting, and optimizing chemical control.
"Other research projects ongoing in his lab include vector-pathogen interactions and biological control and pollination ecosystem services. In addition to research and extension responsibilities, he co-teaches a course on grape pest management and serves as program leader for the Department of Entomology and Geneva Experiment Station."
IPM specialist Frank Zalom, distinguished professor of entomology at UC Davis, received the Excellence in IPM award in 2010. His former PhD student, Douglas Walsh, now a professor at Washington State University, won the award in 2013. See list of other recipients.

Going for gold: 14 with Utah ties competing in Summer Games
Afp/Getty Images, Alexander Nemenov,Afp/Getty Images
Friday night they will march into Olympic Stadium in London wearing the colors of their countries and carrying the hopes and dreams of a lifetime.
The athletes are what make the Olympic Games so memorable. It's their stories, their challenges, their triumphs and even their heartbreaks that pull even the casual sports fan into the 17-day experience.
Fourteen of those athletes who will walk through Olympic Stadium Friday night have ties to Utah. Four are native Utahns, while 10 others came to Utah for college or professional athletic opportunities.
Some have had a clear and easy to watch path to these games, while others have toiled in obscurity, fighting through adversity to be able to compete on the world's largest sports stage.
The pull of the Olympics is that the games are not just about athletic achievement but also about human interaction and accomplishment. Not all of those with Utah ties will wear red, white and blue, but they have fan support, regardless of the uniform they wear.
Here are the athletes with Utah ties who will compete in London over the next 17 days.
Arielle Martin was in elementary school when she first started dreaming of being an Olympian. It was the 1996 gymnasts who earned her adoration.
But while the Cedar Hills native loved sports like track and soccer, her heart belonged to BMX racing. She'd been riding as long as she'd been walking. In fact, she admits she started racing so young, she doesn't remember her first competitions.
But very quickly, the 26-year-old became one of the world's best racers and was the youngest woman to go pro in the sport at age 15.
She was the front runner and favorite to represent the U.S. in her sport's first Olympic appearance — Beijing 2008. She crashed in the quarterfinals of the World Championships and her training partner passed her in qualification points.
"It was pretty horrible, to be honest," said the Lone Peak High graduate.
"Looking back, though, it taught me a lot about perseverance," she said. "It humbled me, and I am a better rider, a better person and a better athlete for it today, without a doubt. And while it was heartbreaking, it makes it all a little sweeter now."
Four years after that devastating crash, Martin will realize her dream of representing the United States in the sport she loves on Aug. 8 and 9 in the 2012 London Games. She placed fourth in the World Championships on May 30 to earn her spot.
"It's overwhelming," she said of realizing a childhood dream to be an Olympian. "The first Olympics I watched were in 1996 in Atlanta, and I remember being completely inspired by the U.S. women's gymnastics team. I said, 'I want to do that. I want to be an Olympian.' "
Former Highland High standout Logan Tom been called the "glue that holds the American (volleyball) team together" by Sports Illustrated.
It's no surprise as the 31-year-old Stanford alum has been on the national team since 2000. The 6-1 outside hitter is consistent and athletic.
The U.S. is ranked No. 1 in the world and that's largely because the squad is deep at every position. Interestingly, another native Utahn, Kristin Richards (Timpanogos High/Stanford), is an alternate for the team at the same position — outside hitter.
The U.S. women have won two silver and one bronze medals, but they are hoping 2012 will be year the women's team wins gold.

On one hand, this looks really, really good, and I want one. On the other hand the thought of spending $50 on plastic scares me when there are plenty of other things I want to get with the money. I need to convince myself somehow that it will be worth it.
And he is giving away his old stuff? Awesome. I wonder which ones he is giving away. I can't go, but it would be cool to know.

hmm well the plastic is the highest quailty you can get "pvc" I spent some money myself some figures however find a budget and draw the line there. I don't spend more than 60 dollars on any single figure no matter how good it looks, also remember and i am being sarcastic here you can legally download anime but you can down load a figure?

Why rip off QB's head when you can have Madoka shoot him in the face?
I've just started figure collecting and so I'm still discovering my likes and dislikes, but I've already learned that I love poseable figures, nendos especially. Although, I don't seem to have the problem with arms like you do. The most annoying one I've come across so far is the Makise Kurisu nendo which uses, like, a seat-type thing that goes under her coat. The arm on my Madoka figma, though, was incredibly annoying.

After doing a quick search of "camera akemi_homura" on image boards, it seems that the artist is Teruya Kazuhito:
The artist's main pixiv site is here: http://www.pixiv.net/
Now that's taken care of... it's awesome that you've done a review of the figure! It can't just be a coincidence, now, that this article was published the same weekend as the Aniplex USA's release and dub cast announcements, right? Anyway, if I had enough disposable income on hand i\to feel comfortable about getting a figure, I'd probably start around here.... but really, I don't think I'll be able to financially support Madoka Magica anymore in the near future beyond the LE sets of the series (and frankly, I thinks that's more than enough for most American fans of the series, seeing several of the reactions to the pricey release plans. )

$50 is deceptively cheap. Once places like AmiAmi sell out, you need to shell out far more on eBay or Yahoo! Auctions Japan.
My wife got this, though she hasn't opened it yet. It's frackin' adorable, and she's already got the variant pre-ordered too... we're gonna need a bigger shelf.
Kybey's hoops have a little yellow peg that sticks into a hole in his ear. I only know because when it arrived one of them had already fallen out and is currently floating around in the box.

I am sarcastically speaking when I say that I use bakabt to get most of my anime, but support an anime by purchasing a set of it if I feel it really deserves it. You know, sarcastically speaking. I suppose I can set up a budget to get a figure (I also am dying to get a Kanade figure from Angel Beats!), but I have several other things to save for. I suppose that if I set up a budget I could get one occasionally.

Deceptive is right, considering $50 includes the shipping cost. The figure costs less in Japan.
By the time reaches our shores (RACS), that shipping is included for us and there will be another one, depending if the store has a free shipping policy or not.
For now. In two years, people won't be able to give away these figures at what they paid because they'll be re-issued. This is a gift horse moment.
On topic now.
As kawaii as this Nendo is, I'm sticking with scaled figures for this series. Obviously, it's going to beat the crap out of my wallet, which can no longer make whimpering noises. I may have just put it on life support.
Tough. It'll have to man up. 2012's looking damn good.
It's giving us Ohana!!!!
For those collecting figma characters of the series.

The worst ones imo were the little plastic stick and thin plastic support provided in the very early nendoroids, like nendoroid Yasagure Rin or Hetare Saber. Kurisu's stand is actually one of my favorites. Those early little plastic peg + plastic C ones broke so easily, I don't have a single intact one to this day.
Also, I've never had an issue with a nendoroid having a peg that did not fit in the back.

Recent reviews
2.7 /5 from 192 reviews
So we were put on the third floor, The room had a tiny little window & A ceiling fan . With the window open and the ceiling fan running at full speed, the room was still 100 degrees all day and all night long. It was impossible to sleep. I now know what it would be like to sleep in a sauna..
The gentleman at the front desk is very helpful for directions, parking, restaurants, etc! I am taking a course in Montreal on the weekends and enjoy the proximity to the University and being less then 10 feet away from the Metro station is awesome!
It was adequate for the price
Fantastic location right next to the metro station and right in a great happening neighborhood in easy distance to all the best places you'd want to go in Montreal. Simple and cheap amenities, similar to that of a hostel, but with all private rooms and, though an old building, everything felt clean. The girl's shower was pretty run down, but nothing holding you back from just using the men's instead (private and one stall).
I am giving this HOSTEL (not hotel) 2 stars for a few different reasons. Number 1, my room was well over 80 degrees fahrenheit at night. When asked to turn on the A/C, I was told that there was not any. Why is there an A/C unit in the room then? I was unable to sleep. Woke up drenched in sweat. Would have rather paid more money to have a comfortable nights sleep. Customer service is simply non-existent. Bathrooms and showers are shared with the whole hotel, which wasn't a huge problem. Pros: The rooms are clean and the bed is comfy. The hostel is centrally located and right next to the metro station creating easy access to anywhere in Montreal. There are many pubs, cafes, and bagel shops down the avenue. Was it worth the money? I only paid $30 a night, and to be frank, I would have rather just paid more. I simply cannot sleep in that heat. I probably would not stay here again, even for that price.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Barely one hour from Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana, Lake Bohinj is in the middle of nowhere – out of season and time – and it's wonderful.
"We have a saying here in Slovenia," said Grega Silc, a Hike & Bike Slovenia tour guide, as we cycled around the riotous green of the ridge. "In Bohinj, we're a day or two behind the rest of the world."
Silc grinned; a day or two is manageable. The lag used to be worse. For centuries, the sheep- and goat-herding villages around the glacial Lake Bohinj were cut off from the rest of Slovenia by poor roads and vertiginous terrain, clustered in the shadow of the Julian Alps. Transport to Ukanc – a hamlet on the far side of the lake whose name loosely translates to "the end of the world" – could take weeks.

Opps...... India watch out! SL will build its own homegrown nuclear plants in Mannar to attack India. You should know that SL will be delighted if it can kill 10,000 Indians even it kills 100,000 of its own (Lankans). Note that this project would kill most of the Northern Tamils and no one will ask a question for such a large scale killing. No HR violation-- this is just an accident!!!

Is that smile real or fake?
A computerized system developed at MIT can tell the difference between smiles of joy and smiles of frustration.
Can you tell which of these smiles is showing happiness? Or which one is the result of frustration? A computer system developed at MIT can. The answer: The smile on the right is the sign of frustration.

Do you smile when you're frustrated? Most people think they don't -- but they actually do, a new study from MIT has found. What's more, it turns out that computers programmed with the latest information from this research do a better job of differentiating smiles of delight and frustration than human observers do.
The research could pave the way for computers that better assess the emotional states of their users and respond accordingly. It could also help train those who have difficulty interpreting expressions, such as people with autism, to more accurately gauge the expressions they see.
"The goal is to help people with face-to-face communication," says Ehsan Hoque, a graduate student in the Affective Computing Group of MIT's Media Lab who is lead author of a paper just published in the IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing. Hoque's co-authors are Rosalind Picard, a professor of media arts and sciences, and Media Lab graduate student Daniel McDuff.
In experiments conducted at the Media Lab, people were first asked to act out expressions of delight or frustration, as webcams recorded their expressions. Then, they were either asked to fill out an online form designed to cause frustration or invited to watch a video designed to elicit a delighted response -- also while being recorded.
When asked to feign frustration, Hoque says, 90 percent of subjects did not smile. But when presented with a task that caused genuine frustration -- filling out a detailed online form, only to then find the information deleted after pressing the "submit" button -- 90 percent of them did smile, he says. Still images showed little difference between these frustrated smiles and the delighted smiles elicited by a video of a cute baby, but video analysis showed that the progression of the two kinds of smiles was quite different: Often, the happy smiles built up gradually, while frustrated smiles appeared quickly but faded fast.
Understanding the subtleties that reveal underlying emotions is a major goal of this research, Hoque says. "People with autism are taught that a smile means someone is happy," he says, but research shows that it's not that simple.
While people may not know exactly what cues they are responding to, timing does have a lot to do with how people interpret expressions, he says, For example, former British prime minister Gordon Brown was widely seen as having a phony smile, largely because of the unnatural timing of his grin, Hoque says. Similarly, a campaign commercial for former presidential candidate Herman Cain featured a smile that developed so slowly -- it took nine seconds to appear -- that it was widely parodied, including a spoof by comedian Stephen Colbert. "Getting the timing right is very crucial if you want to be perceived as sincere and genuine with your smiles," Hoque says.
Jeffrey Cohn, a professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh who was not involved in this research, says this work "breaks new ground with its focus on frustration, a fundamental human experience. While pain researchers have identified smiling in the context of expressions of pain, the MIT group may be the first to implicate smiles in expressions of negative emotion."
Cohn adds, "This is very exciting work in computational behavioral science that integrates psychology, computer vision, speech processing and machine learning to generate new knowledge... with clinical implications." He says this "is an important reminder that not all smiles are positive. There has been a tendency to 'read' enjoyment whenever smiles are found. For human-computer interaction, among other fields and applications, a more nuanced view is needed."
In addition to providing training for people who have difficulty with expressions, the findings may be of interest to marketers, Hoque says. "Just because a customer is smiling, that doesn't necessarily mean they're satisfied," he says. And knowing the difference could be important in gauging how best to respond to the customer, he says: "The underlying meaning behind the smile is crucial."
The analysis could also be useful in creating computers that respond in ways appropriate to the moods of their users. One goal of the research of Affective Computing Group is to "make a computer that's more intelligent and respectful," Hoque says.

Anyone familiar with the Nintendo DS game Elite Beat Agents will feel at home with Osu! Osu is, for all practical purposes, a clone of the aforementioned game, but is completely free. Before players can start playing, they must download separate files called beatmaps and manually place them in the folder the game was installed to. Luckily, there are step by step instructions and even video tutorials for setting it all up on the official website. A short tutorial explains the game basics; players must click on circles on the screen, slide balls across and spin their mouse pointer in circles when special spinners come up. Besides this basic gameplay style, there are three additional special modes available:
Taiko – Taiko is a variant of the game that requires players to hit one of two keys (or both together) as circles move from the right to the left of the screen.
Catch The Beat – Catch The Beat is a simple mode where fruit falls from the sky according to the selected beatmap's music. Players must position themselves under the falling fruit and catch them all in their basket.
osu!mania – Similar to Guitar Hero or Beat Mania, players must coordinate their rhythm across several notes during a song.

This Bible is femine while not being to over the top. It has some great quotes in it from some great women. It also has certain Bible verses picked out that would be easy to memorize (if you are in to that). I'm following the daily devotionals and loving it. There are 3 questions with each devotional that they give you to think about. I've been keeping a journal and writing the questions/answers down.
All in all a great Bible!
There are some other helpful resources included as well. There is a subject index as well as reading plan. Additionally, in the preface of the Bible, it gives helpful information about the Bible and how it is sectioned off.
Overall, I think this is a very user friendly Bible with some really great devotionals for your quiet time. I enjoyed that the devotions were not just written by one person, but by many different women, including Anne Graham Lotz, Edith Schaeffer, Priscilla Shirer, Joni Eareckson Tada, Carol Kent and Liz Curtis Higgs to name just a few.
I would highly suggest that you consider this Bible if you are looking for a solid devotional Bible. I was provided with a copy of this book in exchange for my review by the publisher via NetGalley. I was not obligated to provide a positive review.
