Spoon 2 tablespoons vanilla frosting into a resealable bag. Tint 1/2 cup of the vanilla frosting orange with the food coloring. Spoon this into a resealable bag. Divide the remaining vanilla frosting in half. Tint one part bright green and one part bright yellow with the food colors. Spoon each color into separate resealable bags. Seal all of the bags.
Cut the chocolate taffy roll into 12 small pieces. Shape each piece into a 1/4-inch triangle for the nose. Place the candies on a sheet of wax paper until ready to use.
Spread a thin layer of yellow frosting on top of the cupcakes and make smooth. Snip a small corner from the bag with the green frosting. Pipe an outline of the dinosaur costume using the green frosting. Fill in with the remaining green frosting and make smooth. Add the red jellybeans as the noses on the dinosaur costumes.
Snip a very small corner from the bags containing the black and vanilla frostings. Pipe the eyes, stripes, lashes and eyebrows and mouth on top of the cupcakes with the black frosting. Pipe the eyes on top of the green frosting as the dinosaur eyes. Add a dot of black frosting for the pupils and the nostrils on the red jellybeans. Snip a small corner from the bag with the orange frosting. Pipe the scales on the outer edge of the cupcake.
Add the chocolate taffy noses. Add the white decors as the teeth for Kai-lan�s dinosaur costume and one tooth for Rintoo. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Longtime Augustans have shopped there for years, but now a CSRA business is closing its doors after 36 years.
Appliance Land suddenly went out of business, leaving many of its customers with unanswered questions.
"It kind of surprised me," Brendan Aims said.
He says he knew the owner of Appliance Land had recently passed away but he had no clue the business would be closing.
"I think in today's business environment, people make the business and maybe they couldn't run it without Tommy," he added.
Although the doors were locked, an employee of the company was loading up for deliveries when News 12 walked up with our camera. He told us a combination of financial and family problems led to appliance land closing shop.
Gigi Turner with the Better Business Bureau says Appliance Land canceled its membership with the BBB a few weeks before closing its doors.
"Right now, based on what we found out calling the business, is that the business has closed its doors and they do plan on closing the business," she said.
Customers like Sharon Brown still have a hard time accepting the family-run business on Washington Road is closed for good.
"Oh, it breaks my heart seriously. I hate to see any business go out of business," she said.
A store employee told us he would be making deliveries this week but he wasn't sure if everyone who placed an order will get it.

Game 5: Sunday, Feb. 17 • 9 a.m. or 11 a.m. | TBA
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team will travel to Waco, Texas, to compete in the Miken Classic at Getterman Stadium this weekend. Host Baylor, Northern Colorado and the University of the Pacific will join the Islanders for the three-day event. The Islanders will open its first two of five games on Friday, Feb. 15, against Northern Colorado from the Big Sky Conference and the University of the Pacific from the Big West Conference. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will then take on Baylor on Saturday, Feb. 16, at 12:30 p.m. before bracket play begins in the afternoon. The Islanders will wrap up play on Sunday, Feb. 17 with a single game.
The Islanders finished with a 1-4 record last weekend at the Texas Classic to open the season. The squad dropped two games to No. 7/9 Texas and one to North Texas and Memphis before wrapping the weekend with a 3-0 victory over the Tigers.
Last season, the Islanders faced Baylor in a doubleheader at Chapman Field. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi fell short, 6-1 and 3-0 in his home opener. The Islanders will face Pacific and Northern Colorado for just the second time in school history. The last time the squad faced the Tigers was in 2011 and the Bears was in 2005.
The Islanders head into Friday's game vs. the Bears with a 1-4 record.
•Texas A&M - Corpus Christi lost seven seniors including three of the Islanders' top pitchers and outfielder Hannah Schwarz who led the NCAA in sacrifice hits per game in Division I last season.
•The Islanders are young with just one senior and 15 on the roster. The squad returns three starters and 11 letterwinners from a team that finished with an 18-23 overall record (11-9 SLC) a year ago.
• The Islanders advanced to the Southland Conference Tournament last year for the fourth year and finished fourth.
• The 2013 roster has four newcomers: Freshman Ashley Elicerio (P/UT), freshman Dani Tefft (OF), Natalie Zarzabal (OF) and sophomore transfer from McLennan CC, Michelle Sorenson (C/UT).
•The Islanders return four of their top six hitters from the 2012 team. Leading the way is Meagan McKinney who tallied a .462 batting average last weekend in five starts at first base. The senior registered two home runs and six hits to earn Southland Conference honorable mention.
•Last season, McKinney started in all 37 games she played in. She finished third on the team with 26 hits and second with 12 runs. She was also 4-for-5 in stolen bases and led the team with 274 put outs, which was good for sixth place in the conference. She earned the Islanders Gold's Gym Award in strength and conditioning last season.
•Junior Constance Brandenburg tallied a career-high eight strikeouts in seven innings on Sunday against Memphis. She allowed just one hit in the final frame against 29 batters.
•Head Coach Stephanie Hughes is in her second year with the Islanders. She became the Islanders fifth head coach in program history when she was hired on August 19, 2011. Hughes was named the 2013 SLC Preseason All-Conference Coach of the Year by College Sports Madness. Assistant Coach Briana Bishop and pitching Coach Sarah Pauly also enter their second year with the Islanders.
Northern Colorado: The Bears finished with a 25-28 record last season and come into Friday's contest with a 2-3 record. Northern Colorado opened their season at the Cyclone Invitational in Ames, Iowa. The Bears dropped two games to Indiana State, split with South Dakota State and picked up a victory against IPFW. Jamie Pollak leads the team with a .455 batting average while Mikayla Duffy is second on the team with a .412 batting average. Duffy leads the team with seven hits. Kelci Cheney leads the Bears in the circle with a 0.78 ERA in 18 innings. Megan Wilkinson is second in the circle with a 2.10 ERA in 10 innings of work.
Pacific: The Tigers enter Friday's contest with a 3-0 record. Pacific opened their season at Santa Clara and picked up two victories. The Tigers followed it with a 3-0 victory at Sacramento State on Tuesday. Pacific has shut out two of their opponents to open the season. Alex Steinmehl leads the Tigers with a .667 batting average. Melanie Habib is second on the second with a .429 batting average. Nikki Armagost leads Pacific in the circle with a perfect 0.00 ERA in 14 innings. She has tallied 12 strikeouts and has allowed eight hits in two appearances.
Baylor: The Islanders will meet Baylor on Saturday. The Bears head into Friday's play with a 5-2 record. Baylor sealed victories against Illinois State, Northern Illinois and Southern Miss. Baylor dropped an 8-0 loss to Illinois State and a 2-0 loss to Sam Houston State over the weekend. Bailey Chalmers leads Baylor with a ,400 batting average while Kaitlyn Thumann is second on the team with a .391 batting average and leads the team with nine hits. Courtney Repka leads the Bears in the circle with a perfect 0.00 in 11 innings. Whitney Canion is second with a 0.38 ERA in 18.2 innings and has tallied a team-high 32 strikeouts.
Pitching coach and seven-year NPF veteran Sarah Pauly has a young group of pitchers this season after losing standout pitchers Greta Cecchetti, Jordan Trujillo and Vianca Pesina. Cecchetti was second in the Southland Conference last season with a 0.58 ERA and second in strikeouts with 82.
Junior Constance Brandenburg leads the pitchers in the circle this season with a 4.94 ERA in 17 innings. Last weekend she tallied 12 strikeouts in four appearances and three starts. The junior recorded a career-high eight strikeouts against Memphis on Sunday in the Islanders 3-0 victory.
Sophomore Bethany Slick appeared in one game last weekend and gave up one walk. The Islanders will rely heavily on right-handed pitcher Ashley Elicerio. The freshman and utility player posted her first career start in a 7-5 loss to Memphis last weekend. Elicerio appeared in four games over the week and tallied four strikeouts in 10.2 innings. She also recorded one hit at two at-bats.
The 2013 team welcomes four newcomers, freshman Ashley Elicerio (P/UT), freshman Dani Tefft (OF), freshman Natalie Zarzabal (Of) and sophomore transfer from McLennan CC, Michelle Sorenson (C/UT).
Elicerio is a 5-7 pitcher and utility player. She played four years at Hendrickson High School and was tabbed Utility Player of the Year three consecutive years. She led the Hawks to a 17-9 record during her senior season after advancing the team to the regional quarterfinals.
Zarzabal, a right-handed outfielder, played at Steele High School in Cibolo, Texas. During her sophomore year she recorded a .409 batting average and followed it with a .365 batting average during her junior year. Last weekend, Zarzabal tallied one hit while making three starts in right field.
Tefft was a four-year starter at Kempner High School in Sugar Land, Texas. The left-hander led the team with a .434 batting average while helping her team win the 2011 Bi-District Championship and the 2011 District 23-5A Championship. Tefft recorded two hits and two runs in five starts in left field.
Sorenson recorded 18 putouts behind home plate over the weekend. She posted a .358 batting average while appearing in 43 of 51 games during the 2010-11 season at McLennan CC. She helped her team win the Region V championship and earned second team all-conference honors.
The Islanders were selected to finish fourth in the 2013 Southland Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll in a vote by both the conference's head coaches and sports information directors. Sophomore Mickayla Cochran (OF) was tabbed All-Southland Preseason Second Team. The Islanders were also tabbed fourth in the Preseason Sports Information Director's poll.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will play host to 21 games at Chapman Field this season. The Islanders will play a total of 50 regular-season games and will play a three-game series format in the Southland Conference.

BERKELEY -- After a 1-3 start, Cal's players understand that panic is beginning to set in with portions of their fan base. They are urging patience.
"I hear all the talk. If I was a fan, I probably would (be panicked) too," senior safety Josh Hill said. "We just ask that they stick with us. We haven't given up on ourselves, so hopefully they haven't, either."
Coming off back-to-back road losses to Top-25 foes Ohio State and USC, the Bears' lone victory came at the expense of Football Championship Subdivision opponent Southern Utah. Cal returns home Saturday to face Arizona State, which is 3-1 under new coach Todd Graham.
Cal is 1-3 for the first time in nine seasons, and needs five wins in its final eight games to become bowl eligible.
"They probably are panicking from the outside view. But it's a long season," wide receiver Keenan Allen said. "We still can go whatever-and-1 in the Pac-12 Conference. I understand (fans' frustration), but they don't really know what's going on."
Linebacker Robert Mullins said he doesn't listen to outsiders during the season, whether things are going well or not.
"I tell my family to stay away from giving me their Sunday night quarterback critiques," Mullins said. "Whether they're right or wrong, the only opinions that matter are from people who are part of the team."
Hill said the Bears know they only have themselves to blame for the nervous reaction of their fans.
"We expect that. If we lose, we expect fans not to have our backs. If we win, we expect everybody to be there," he said. "We can't really worry about that. It just goes with it."
"It's a work in progress with Bigelow still," Tedford said. "You want to make sure he has an effect on the game. But there's a lot more to it than running the football. He continues to learn."
Bigelow carried four times for 160 yards at Ohio State, then had just four more carries at USC, gaining 31 yards. His yards-per-carry over the past two games: 23.9.
Marshall had a hamstring injury in fall camp that sidelined him for two weeks and Graham said he expects his role to increase.
Tedford said Marshall "absolutely" still is a threat. "He's shown over the years he's strong and he's fast. You have to make sure you're tackling him well because he can run through arm tackles. He's a very good back."

Nissan says it's on track to release a self-driving car by 2020.
The company's CEO says the Japanese carmaker will introduce a self-parking car by 2016, a lane changing vehicle in 2018 and a car that can maneuver intersections on its own two years later.
Nissan along with Toyota and Daimler along with technology companies such as Google have accelerated research into systems that can make driving partly or fully automatic.
Potential benefits include reducing traffic accidents and congestion and allowing people to use the time in transit for activities other than driving.

Deputy injured in scuffle at IHOP
Published: Monday, October 8, 2012 at 9:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 8, 2012 at 9:40 a.m.
A father and son attacked a deputy early Saturday at the Houma IHOP, and the deputy has since been treated and released from a hospital, the Sheriff's Office said.
Charles Grasso III, 22, 163 Autumn Drive, Houma, bit the deputy's face and tried to take the deputy's weapon from his holster when the deputy tried to approach him and his father, the office said. Charles Grasso Jr., 54, struck the deputy in the face.
The deputy was working a security detail at the IHOP, 1719 Martin Luther King Blvd. about 4:30 a.m. when witnesses told him that the Grassos were unruly and seemed drunk, the Sheriff's Office said. After the Grassos attacked him, he called for back-up.
They arrested the father and son Saturday, records show. They are charged with battering and injuring a police officer, resisting an officer, public intimidation, entering or remaining in a place after being forbidden, and drunkenly disturbing the peace.
Grasso III is also charged with simple battery and attempting to disarm an officer, records show. They were in the Terrebonne Parish jail this morning in lieu of bonds totaling $250,000.

Sheryl Sandberg: It's OK to Talk About Babies
Sheryl Sandberg has a message for managers: It's not illegal to talk about gender issues in the workplace with your staff.
The Facebook chief operating officer's best-selling manifesto, "Lean In," has helped spark national discussion about career ambition, parenting and the state of women in the workplace. But these conversations are surprisingly difficult to have in one of the places where they matter most: In the office, between bosses and staff.
"People genuinely want to handle gender issues in the workplace well, but it's a topic that makes everyone uncomfortable," says Sandberg. "No one wants to be insensitive, so often they say nothing at all." One male manager told Sandberg he would rather talk about his sex life in public than take up gender issues with his staff.
Many managers, especially men, may shy away from such discussions because they fear saying anything inappropriate, or worse, illegal. For lots of managers, even mentioning pregnancy and child-rearing is off limits. "The easy and often reflexive recommendation from counsel is often to stay away from any conversation or discussion," say Joseph Yaffe and Karen Corman, employment lawyers at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
That's a "very bad interpretation" of gender discrimination laws, Sandberg says. While rules to protect against gender discrimination are necessary, she says they shouldn't be used to stifle important workplace conversations. "The path of not talking about it is not working," she says.
Workers, meanwhile, may be worried about bringing up pregnancy and parenting for fear that doing so signals flagging devotion to their job or could squeeze them out of plum assignments down the line.
Sandberg advises managers, both men and women, to have an open door policy, to invite workers to talk about any concerns about how child-rearing or pregnancy may affect their career paths.
As a model, Sandberg offers up her brother, a doctor. She says he tells hires: "You may want to have kids one day . . . If you want to talk to me [about work and family issues], my door is open and I'm there to support you."
Sandberg says that she has a similar open-door policy and scores of employees have taken her up on her offer to chat about gender, family and career paths.
Fear of breaking anti-discrimination laws "should not inhibit employees' and their managers' and supervisors' ability to discuss issues of profound personal importance," Yaffe and Corman say.
Workplace laws are often a murky area, but one thing is clear: Employers cannot discriminate against staff based on gender or whether they are pregnant or planning to have children. That means managers cannot make job decisions or deny staffers coveted assignments based on those factors.
And managers must respect their staffers' privacy, which means bosses shouldn't, say, ask point-blank when a staffer plans on having kids. "It's always OK to open the door to discussions, but don't open it further by prying," says Yaffe.
Of course, employees might not always feel comfortable bringing up pregnancy or family issues. But business leaders can help set the stage by bringing up their own work and family experiences.
Managers "are trained to avoid these topics like they are the third rail," says Yaffe. "But we will be better off if more people get comfortable having these conversations."
Here are some more tips, courtesy of Yaffe and Corman, on bringing up work and family issues in the workplace:
1. Have an "open-door" policy to discuss issues or concerns. Invite an employee who has expressed an interest in talking, whether about pregnancy or any other issue, for a discussion over coffee or lunch about what's on her mind.
2. Acknowledge reality. Managers may tell an employee that they understand the employee may have questions about integrating pregnancy and childrearing with career goals, and that the manager is there to discuss them, if the employee ever wants to talk.
3. Provide flexibility. Instead of just talking about retaining mothers in the workforce, take steps to provide flexibility for working parents, such as telecommuting or time-shifting. Ask employees what policies would be most helpful for them.
1. Never imply that parenting will have an adverse impact on someone's career or their opportunities for progression.
2. Don't pry. Some employees may not want to discuss these issues. It's about being supportive, not intrusive.

Channing Tatum is going to be a dad.
The actor's wife of three years, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, is pregnant, their rep told Us Weekly. "Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Channing Tatum are pleased to announce that they are expecting the birth of their first child next year."
I hope it's next year. I'd be really suspicious if it was the year after.
"It was a total surprise," an insider told Us Weekly, of the pregnancy, adding that Tatum, 32, is taking a full year off to be with his expectant spouse and their baby-to-be, due sometime in 2013. The couple met on the set of "Step Up" in 2006 and married in 2009 in Malibu.
Great. Another homely, no-talent kid running around Southern California.
Earlier this year, Dewan, 32, talked to Us Weekly about their plans for a family.
"I would hope so" the dancer-turned-actress said. "I just don't know when. When it's meant to be, it will happen."

- Combining control, accuracy and touch
- Currently Unavailable
Combine control, accuracy, touch, and Nike RaDaR, and you have the pinnacle in ball performance. It's no surprise why the world's best players in the world's top leagues play with the Nike Seitiro.
Nike RaDaR:
How does Nike improve the game as it evolves into a fast paced battle of inches and seconds? Nike creates the tools for success.
The Nike Seitiro has Nike RaDaR technology, which stands for Rapid Decision and Response. It is a lab and field tested standard of visual performance that allows players to see the ball better. Validated on field with some of the best athletes in the world, the combination of ball cover color, graphic design, and contrast creates an optimal visual signal on the field. What does this all mean? It means that Nike RaDaR lets players make faster decisions on the field and stay ahead of the pace of the game.
The Nike Seitiro continues the tradition of control, accuracy, and touch for which Nike balls are known.
A micro-textured cover design delivers confident accuracy and aerodynamic stability as airflow is equalized over the ball surface. The premium foam layer ensures consistent control and a soft touch in all conditions.
Finally, due to Geo II balanced technology, the Nike Seitiro boasts an even transfer of energy throughout all panels, a 360 degree sweet spot that forces the ball to respond with power no matter where it's struck.
The Details:
COVER: Micro-textured TPU for improved control. Geometric Precision distributes pressure around the ball for a consistent, accurate and powerful strike.
Nitrogen-expanded foam for shape retention and durability. Perfectly round shape ensures the ball flies fast, far and true.
BLADDER: Six-wing carbon latex for explosive acceleration. FIFA approved.
Note: All of our balls are shipped deflated. This helps in keeping our shipping costs low, savings that we can pass on to you.
Standard Ball Sizing
Size 5: ages 12 and up
Size 4: ages 8-12
Size 3: ages 8 and under
Size 1: skills/practice
Diseñado con tecnología avanzada para garantizar una trayectoria certera. CUBIERTA: TPU con micro textura para un mejor control. La tecnología Geometric Precision distribuye la presión por todo el balón para disparos consistentes, certeros y poderosos. Esp

My name is Connie.� I am southern born and raised and have lived in the Macon area for six years with my husband, three children (who are not so little anymore!), three dogs, a cat, three cows, one of which is like a pet and named Bella and a woodpecker that has moved in and made his life�s mission to destroy our front porch.� My family will tell you that I always have something to say so I thought blogging would be fun, a place where I can ramble about our life in the country, this lovely town that we have fallen in love with and now call home and maybe I will throw in a recipe or two!� I believe that a day without laughter is a day wasted so �sit a spell� with me and hopefully I can put a smile on your face!
Our house was hit by lightening a couple of weeks ago. Thank goodness no one was hurt and the house didn't catch on fire but one of our TVs, the DVD player and the satellite didn't fare so well. I called our satellite provider and apparently their thoughts on getting it fixed as soon as possible and mine were two different things so we were without television all weekend long. We actually didn't stay in as much over the weekend, we did a lot of different things and were outside and it was nice to spend that time with my husband. Of course my kids were hooked up to their Ipad's watching Netflix or movies on an old TV. I thought back to the days of my childhood, and not to give my age away but I can remember when we had three channels and you had to actually get up off the couch and turn the knob on the TV if you wanted to change stations! And the old Jeff Foxworthy joke about "the President is on, he's on every channel, we are gonna miss Flipper" was really true!
Technology has come a long way since I was a kid. When I was in high school I took typing in 10th grade, with the big loud electric typewriters that were plugged into the ceiling. And then by my senior year we had computer class and the computer was this big monster of a thing and you put different programs in to get a picture of something at the end IF you wrote the program right! About 12 years later I bought my first cell phone, a bag phone, it was big and bulky and would break your foot if you dropped it on it but best I can remember, had great reception! Speaking of cell phones, I always feel better knowing that when my kids leave the house I can get in touch with them if needed because they have cell phones and then I think back to the old days when I left the house and my mama didn't talk to me again until I showed up for curfew. Those were the "good ole days"!
The internet, email and Facebook have taken away letter writing too. I am old fashioned and as much as I use our technology now, I do miss writing letters and receiving them in the mail. There is nothing like getting a hand written letter or a card from someone. And as much as I love the convenience of an email or Facebook message it just isn't the same! I have a friend that lives in Alabama and we have known each other for almost 20 years and we still write letters to each other. She doesn't have email so phone calls and letters are our ways of communicating and I love getting those letters from her!
So as technology grows and we grow with it, I won't say I dislike technology, not at all. If we didn't have the internet then I wouldn't be able to write this blog or keep up with my friends who live all over the United States but I will still hold on to some of the old ways; snail mail, phone calls instead of texts, reading a book instead of watching television and I am thankful that I grew up in a time without all the modern technologies that we have today.

DEAR AMY: Our daughter is divorcing her husband of 25 years, "Scott." They have an 18-year-old daughter who is in 11th grade.
We had no idea this situation was happening until we were told of their divorce. It seems that Scott has turned their daughter, "Maggie," into his new mother/girlfriend in every way but sexual.
They cuddle together, dress alike, whisper and giggle together in front of our daughter. They go out on dates, text constantly, even when Maggie is in school, and Maggie helped Scott fill out the divorce papers.
The teen has cut herself off from our daughter and believes every bad thing her dad tells her about her mom, even very private issues.
Our daughter is not allowed to attend school conferences about Maggie or hear about her health issues.
If that weren't bad enough, Scott and Maggie are moving across the country together to be with his family, who are supportive of him and his plans.
We don't know if he can even find a job. He told Maggie that she will have no more curfews, can get tattoos, smoke, doesn't need to bother finishing school, etc. The list goes on.
She won't listen to her mom, us or anyone else. She shouts that she is 18 and "an adult." She keeps saying that her mom has friends to talk to, "but Dad only has me."
We think this is emotional incest, but she is 18 so there is nothing much any of us can do. Maybe if she sees a response from you, she might think twice about this decision that could ruin her life.
Concerned Grandparents
DEAR CONCERNED: I don't think it is wise to throw around the phrase "emotional incest," but this does seem like a severe case of parental alienation.
Legally there is nothing your family can do to prevent this 18-year-old from aligning with her father, moving, dropping out of school, getting tattoos, etc. (although her mother should attend school conferences, unless there is a court order against her).
Pushing really hard will cause this teen to back away with equal force, so my advice to all of you is to turn your focus away from punishing her for her immaturity, bad judgment and twisted perspective about her parents -- and point it toward keeping in touch and keeping the door open for a relationship.
She is too young to resist being manipulated by one (or both) of her parents. Let her know that as her loving grandparents you are concerned about her, that you love her and that you hope for the best for her. Encourage her to complete her education, and offer your help to achieve healthy goals.
DEAR AMY: I cannot believe your answer to "Burdened," the mom whose teen daughter is sexually active. Sending kids toward contraception is not the answer. Abstinence is.
I raised two sexually pure daughters and not from promoting birth control.
Happy Father
DEAR FATHER: "Sexually pure"? I shudder at how you define that -- but offer you my congratulations.

At Benedictine University academic advising is grounded in Benedictine values and the University mission. It is an interactive process between the advisor and student and is supported by technology. The goal is to promote each student's academic, career and personal development.
Faculty and staff are committed to creating a decision-making framework through which students can identify and realize their educational goals. Although academic advising is a collaborative function of both student and advisor, the final responsibility for satisfying University and major requirements rests with the student.
The student actively participates in the educational decision-making process.
The advisor listens to and guides the student through the educational decision making process.
Yes, be sure to always retain copies of all your academic transactions, such as registration forms, add/drop forms, incomplete requests, independent study requests, requests for transfer credit, etc. If you ever need to submit an academic appeal, you will be asked to submit hardcopy documentation to support your appeal. Do not rely on your advisor to maintain copies of your documentation.
Classes taken at Aurora University or North Central College are non-transferable here. Benedictine University, Aurora University, and North Central College are members of the West Suburban Consortium. Part of their agreement allows undergraduate degree seeking students to enroll as exchange students at the host school. You can pick-up a Consortium Exchange Course Authorization form in the Student Success Center (SSC), or Benedictine Central. You will need approval from your academic advisor and the University Registrar first before you can proceed to the host school. Once approved, your credit will not be recognized as transfer credit, but as home credit with the credit included in your home tuition and the grade included in your home grade point average. The policy of the Consortium Exchange is on the backside of the Consortium Exchange Course Authorization form.
Refer to the "Liberal Arts Core Elective List" in the Catalog, which includes a comprehensive listing of Liberal Arts Core classes, and the core category in which the classes are classified.
TBA is the abbreviation for "To Be Announced". Academic Departments utilize this terminology when there is an undetermined course time or course location. For details on a course scheduled as "TBA", you may contact the Academic Department Office or check Ben-U Live for the latest information.
If a class is dropped after the first week of the scheduled class (Fall or Spring semester) a "W" will be posted automatically on the transcript, reflecting a course withdrawal. There is no impact on the grade point average for any courses withdrawn.
Yes, you can add a class after the first week of class under appropriate circumstances. When adding a class after the first week you will need signature approval from the instructor on the add/drop form. You will also need to obtain a signature from the SSC. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you will also need a signature from your advisor. Signatures must be done before Ben Central will process the add form. Students are not encouraged to add classes after the first week of the semester.
See "General Policies, Repetition of Courses" in your Catalog. "With the specific prior approval of the advisor, a student may normally repeat a Benedictine University course in which he or she previously enrolled." In an authorized repetition of a course, the student will not receive additional credit hours if he or she already earned credit hours in the course. The original grade will remain on the transcript, but only the more recent grade will be used in computing the grade point average. Only courses repeated at Benedictine University can be considered for authorized repetitions.
There is a 180-day aging period on incompletes. The incomplete aging period begins at the end of the term that you request the incomplete. At the end of the 180-day period, the "I" will be automatically converted to an "F" grade. Students are responsible for completing all course requirements and submitting any necessary work. Do not rely on the instructor to alert you about the incomplete grade.
This course is classified as a Life Science Core only. See your Catalog for a comprehensive listing of Core Elective Classes by category.
The following Fine Arts/Music courses are not FNAR/MUSIC: COMM C250, Masters in American Cinema, COMM C251, History of Film, COMM C256, International Film, COMM C316, Advanced Television Production, LITR C269, and Introduction to Creative Writing. These are classified in the category of Fine Arts/Music as Core. See your Catalog for a comprehensive listing of Core Elective Classes by category.
Yes, Math 105 (Finite Math I) and Math 110 (College Algebra) are considered equivalent courses, with credit not granted for completion of both courses. If you need to repeat Math 105 or 110 to earn a higher grade, you may select either course as the repeat since they are equivalent.
If you originally enrolled at Benedictine University on or after Fall 2001, you are required to earn a "C" grade or better in RHET 101 and RHET 102.
Yes. See the "Graduation Requirements" in your Catalog for more details.
No. The requirement of 120 semester hours overall is an absolute requirement and must always be satisfied to graduate.
Courses offered at Benedictine University that are numbered below 100 do not count toward the 120 credit hours required for graduation. However, the credit will be calculated into the cumulative grade point average, and the credit may be used toward academic progress for athletic eligibility.
Yes, there are transfer guides available in the Office of Educational Services in Kindlon 224. These guides are also available on the Advising Matters website. Currently, there are transfer equivalency agreements with the following community colleges in the area:
These transfer guides are updated on a regular basis.
You can take courses from another institution under appropriate circumstances. See the Graduation Requirements portion of your Catalog for more details. You will need to pick up an "Approval of Transfer Credit" form in the Student Success Center or Benedictine Central. Additionally, you may check online forms under the Advising Matters page. You must submit your transfer approval request with your advisor for approval before you register for the course off-campus. If you are within the final 45 hours prior to graduation, it is imperative that you submit the form to the Student Success Center. There are transfer guides of the local community colleges in the Office of Educational Services, KN-224, as well as the Advising Matters page.
If you are a new freshman, you are required to stay with your assigned freshman advisor during your first year of enrollment. For any questions about freshman advising, contact the Director of Freshman Advising in the Student Success Center.
If you are not a new freshman, then you may contact the Department Chair of your primary major to discuss available options.
If you are classified as a freshman or sophomore (less than 60 hours earned), you must have your advisor's signature on all registration forms and add/drop forms. If you are a junior or senior (60 hours earned or more), you are still required to have your advisor's signature on your registration form but it is not required on the add/drop form if you decide to change your original term course schedule. However, it is always recommended that you inform your advisor of any changes you make to your course schedule.
Always check the office door of your advisor for posted office hours. These office hours may change from term to term. Identify your advisor's office hour availability and sign up for an appointment on the office door. Otherwise, your advisor welcomes walk-in appointments during posted office hours. Also, if applicable, feel free to contact your advisor's Administrative Assistant about the availability of your advisor. If you are not on campus during your advisor's regular office hours, try contacting your advisor by e-mail or telephone.
If your advisor does not have or cannot locate your advising file, you or your advisor must contact the Student Success Center. The SSC can create a new advising file from original documents.
Pick-up a "Change of Academic Plan" form in the Student Success Center or Benedictine Central. You can also find the form online within the "Advising Matters" page. Complete the form in full with the appropriate signatures. Use this form to declare a major from undeclared status, add a second major, declare a minor, or concentration. Submit the approved form to the Student Success Center for processing.
To participate in NCAA-Division III athletic competition at Benedictine University, you must be in good academic standing with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher. While on academic probation below a 2.0 grade point average, you will not be eligible for athletic competition for that term. See "Athletic Eligibility" in the Advising Matters section on the website for more information.
No. All college students are entitled to privacy rights. Your records privacy is covered by FERPA. You may get more information on FERPA by clicking their link on the Advising Matters page.
There are 4 options to address your concern:
See the "Student Leave of Absence" section of the current Catalog. You must complete an "Exit Form" with Jon Miller, Associate Dean at (630) 829-6515 located in Krasa 113. You will be automatically placed on a leave of absence by simply not signing up for classes for one semester. A leave of absence may extend for 2 full academic years, allowing you to remain under your original catalog of entry.
Feel free to make an appointment with the Department Chair of that discipline to explore the feasibility of making a change.
When you register for more than 18 semester hours of credit per semester, you will be charged an additional tuition charge per hour over 18 hours. The tuition rate for overloads is the part-time tuition per hour that will be added onto your full-time tuition.
Always consult with your instructor before dropping a class. You should also consider discussing the situation with your advisor. Additionally, we recommend you view the latest tutoring schedule and see if there are tutoring sessions available for your specific topic. Students can also consult a learning specialist in Krasa 012 located in the SSC for assistance before dropping the class.
Follow the master calendar for important academic deadlines, which includes the application for graduation. The application for graduation initiates the formal degree audit process by your Academic Department Chair. If you miss a deadline, contact the Registrar in KN-224 about the feasibility of applying late for graduation consideration.

Easy Transformation
The Ultima has a unique lift and flip filler that pops into place to create a large casting deck. An aluminum post easily adds a casting station if you prefer to sit.
Across the Stern
There are two more seats with storage below them. When you want to just fish, these seats flip over to form a large stern casting deck.
Smoker Craft 192 Ultima
By Capt. Bob Smith
Smoker Craft's 192 bring a big brother to the very popular Millentia line and adds more room and versatility for the larger family. This model has the same five-keel design which delivers excellent tracking and handling. The Hydra-Lift design gets you on plane quicker and is racing across the water without getting smacked by overspray from the bow.
At the Bow
The Ultima's bow area offers a spacious platform for both family fun and fishing. It is pre-wired for a Minn Kota 70 Power Drive and is equipped with a main engine trim switch right where the trolling motor connects. The ground tackle stores easily in a vinyl-lined locker and the bow light is secured on the bottom of the lid so you don't have to fumble around to find it.
You can store life jackets and other gear in the large forward dry box on the starboard side. Over to port is a large lighted livewell and in ski mode there are cushions up front for riders to relax on. Drinkholders for your cold beverages are in each corner near the full-framed wraparound windshield. In fish mode, the Ultima has a unique lift and flip filler that pops into place to create a large casting deck. An aluminum post easily adds a casting station if you prefer to sit. Long grab rails give the front riders a great hand-hold and pop-up cleats keep the gunwale tops neat and snag-free when fishing.
The Controls
The helm on the Ultima is raised, like many of their line. This really brings the windshield up for better protection from the elements and also brings the instruments up into clearer view behind the wheel. An eyebrow over the key gauges makes them even easier to read in bright sunshine. Another benefit to this design is the added legroom. At six feet, I often find I am wedged into a helm seat on smaller boats, but not on the Ultima. Additional equipment like a charting fishfinder or GPS can fit easily to the right of the instrument panel. One of the trolling motor batteries is in a tray under the helm..
Over on the companion side, you also benefit with improved legroom with a raised dash. The glove box has a flip lid cover on top for storing some of your favorite lures in a Plano style box. The glove box itself is large enough to keep all you valuables and papers dry.
At the Stern
In the cockpit, there is an abundant amount of room for fish and play and the seat bases offer multiple layouts. The seat bases are powder-coated on the tops and bottoms to offer many years of corrosion-free service. The decks of the Ultima are vinyl-coated for worry-free clean up and the snap-in carpet protect feet on hot days. Across the stern, there are two more seats with storage below them. When you want to just fish, these seats flip over to form a large stern casting deck. And even with a casting chair set up, the large lighted livewell is easy to use and access. Two more tackle boxes tuck under the lip of the stern casting deck in the center.
The Ultima 192 measures 18'10" length overall and has a stable 96" beam. She has 27" of interior depth and weighs about 1,575lbs dry without the engine package. She carries up to 8 people or a total of 1,750lbs (people and gear). Fuel capacity on this model is 40 gallons.
I had great test conditions and found the 192 Ultima was on plane in only 3.6 seconds and passing 30 mph in 6.1 seconds. Rigged with a Honda 150-hp four stroke outboard she cruised at 3000 rpm doing 20.5 mph and topped out turning 6000 rpm at 47.6 mph
For fishing and family fun the Ultima delivers room, storage, durability, and a smooth ride.

Thailand, 2011, 105 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Asian, Crime, Drama, Medical/Health, Psychological, Thriller
Tul (Nopachai Jayanama) was a straitlaced cop in contemporary Bangkok before he was unjustly imprisoned. After his release, he's recruited as an "assassination expert" for an organization targeting above-the-law criminals and corrupt politicians. Three months after surviving an on-the-job shot to the head, Tul awakens from a coma seeing the world upside down.
Despite his new impairment, Tul tries to go back to what he knows. But it is not just his literal sense of vision that has flipped; his worldview is starting to change, too—his heart, as he puts it, is not in it anymore. Since his near-death experience he is unsure whether his new way of seeing the world is a result of a brain injury or some twist of karmic fate, and he decides to leave his life as a hit man behind. But as much as he tries, he can't seem to escape the violence, and quickly finds himself turning from assassin to target.
Headshot doesn't shy away from the violence inevitable in its genre, but director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang and director of photography Chankit Chamnivikaipong create strikingly stylish and artfully composed visuals. The action-packed film finds time to reflect on the consequences of killing for a living in the context of Thai Buddhist philosophy. Headshot is a unique take on an old genre that is at once both modern and classic.

I have been experimenting with dxflib to produce 3dpolylines: the LWPOLYLINE generated by writePolyline(), writeVertex() and writePolylineEnd() is of course 2D.
I've tried writing a function to emulate a simple 3D line in an existing DXF file: I don't get why in writePolyline() it automatically writes a LWPOLYLINE, surely full 3Dpolylines were allowed in DXF 2000, (AC1015)?
Does anyone know how to do this?

This week is a great week to be an ISLANDER. Currently as your reading this we are on our way to Beaumont, Texas, for our Southland Conference Cross Country Meet. We are anxious, excited, nervous but over all super duper HAPPY! So far since Arkansas we have been doing very well in practices. Our women's team didn't have a very good meet at the Chili Pepper Festival, but we are getting passed that by being positive and using conference to redeem ourselves. We have the ability to win, we have the strength, and we have the power in our legs. We just need to remain focus on the prize and have a positive attitude and we will have the package ready to deliver everything that we have worked for! From day one Coach Flanagan has been motivating us to run hard at every meet, but especially at conference. He has done everything he can to prepare us for this day. Physically we are ready, mentally is always the tough part. All I want to do though is focus on our race, on what we can do. We have to keep our head ups and eyes looking ahead. We have the endurance, the speed, the power, and all we have left to do is go out there and show everyone what we have.
The women's team has always been successful at conference. We have always been privileged to have great runners that can come together as a team and run fast. We are trying to keep the tradition up this year as well. Even though this year is our "rebuilding" year we want to prove everyone and ourselves that no matter what we are, we are still a talented and strong group of girls. I want you all to encourage us to have a positive mentality because sometimes it can get pretty hard when you think about other girls being faster, or better, or ranked higher, but all of that doesn't matter, because in the end , it's what happens during that moment of the 6k race. I am very proud of all my teammates, our coaching staff, and our university. Now it's our turn to pay our respects back to them by running fast, and show them that everything we have worked for has paid off.
We wake up early in the morning to work out hard … sometimes until we puke our faces off, all for what? This moment, this is conference. We sweat, we cry, we laugh, we go though horrible races and great races to learn, but what is it all for? This moment. We sacrifice not being able to go out late like every other college student, why? Because we care, but what for? This moment. I am writing blogs about how amazing I feel about our team, how happy and blessed I am to do this and be here, but am I backing up what I am saying? This moment, I am going to prove to you all that I will try my very best to not let you down in anything I'm saying. I want my team to help me with this too because most of it is about them. We are a group of talented young ladies that can go so far but are we willing to go? Are we willing to fight through those 22 minutes of pain? I hope we are all on the same page because that is the only way we can become SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS.
One more thing, I want all the fans to cheer us on and to help us as well! We need our friends, families and everyone else out there. Former cross country runners you remember what it felt like?! We want this so bad. I want to personally wish the men's team good luck as well! If they perform like they did at the Chili Pepper Festival … WOW! I am already speechless about them. I am so happy that we have come this far in our running careers and I just hope that we go further and further. Good luck to all the teams out there but make sure you cheer for your ISLANDERS!
Now to close, I ask that you comment on our Facebook wall (Texas A&M Corpus Christi Track & Field/Cross Country) or Tweet us @IslandersTFXC and I'll post it on my Facebook! WE NEED WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT!!! Follow our page on Twitter and like us on Facebook so you can be there with us! Remember, "Keep your Islander pride, and don't forget to stride," with yours truly!

EL DORADO COUNTY -- The body of Alyssa Byrne, of Petaluma, missing since New Year's Day, was found Friday morning behind a snow berm near Lake Tahoe, law enforcement officials said.
Officials said they do not suspect foul play in Byrne's death, but are continuing to investigate. The location where her body was found suggests she was headed in the wrong direction if she was walking from the site of a concert to the hotel where she was staying, according to one investigator.
Byrne, 19, a student at Santa Rosa Junior College, vanished New Year's Eve while attending the three-day SnowGlobe music festival at Lake Tahoe Community College.
El Dorado County sheriff's Lt. Paul Van Arnum said a water district worker in a truck spotted Byrne's body around 8:30 a.m., behind a 4-foot snow berm about 10 feet off Pioneer Trail. Van Arnum said there were no outward signs of trauma, but a forensic autopsy would be performed in Sacramento to pinpoint the cause of Byrne's death and to determine if drugs or alcohol were in her system.
An autopsy is likely scheduled for next week in El Dorado County. The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office is investigating Byrne's death.
The location is in the opposite direction of a route Byrne would have used between the scene of the festival and the Horizon Casino Hotel in Stateline, Nev., where Byrne had been staying with friends, Van Arnum added. If she walked to that spot, she had headed southwest on Pioneer Trail when she should have gone northeast, Van Arnum said.
The area, about a half-mile from the site of the festival, was one of the first locations searchers had planned to canvass Friday morning when they heard Byrne had been found, Van Arnum said.
Investigators are still trying to determine where Byrne went after she was last seen by friends. Conflicting reports from witnesses place Byrne at different locations after she left the festival.
Douglas County Undersheriff Paul Howell said that other concert attendees had reported that they chose to walk to their hotels rather than wait in long lines for shuttle buses, and that Byrne may have meant to head back on foot as well. The distance from the venue to the hotel is "not that far if you're dressed (for cold weather)," and though it was near freezing at the time of her disappearance, it was not snowing, he added.
One friend, however, said before Byrne's body was found that she had called him shortly before her disappearance, saying that she was on a shuttle bus back to the hotel.
Byrne's body was dressed in clothing consistent with descriptions given to authorities, Howell said. He noted reports that Byrne may have had a falling out with a friend shortly before her disappearance, according to her Twitter account, but said "that was not an event that we ... think was a significant issue at this time."
Byrne lived with her mother and father in Petaluma. She worked as a hostess at the Cattlemens restaurant in Petaluma and hoped to become a paramedic-firefighter, according to her mother, Kim Miller-Byrne.
Byrne's father, Kevin, and some of her friends had traveled to the area to help look for her after she was reported missing.
After hearing the news that Alyssa had been found, Kevin Byrne was "doing as well as could be expected," Van Arnum said.
Before Alyssa was found, her father said he regretted not checking out the music festival more closely, fearing it might be the site of heavy drug use.
"Maybe she partied harder than normal," he said. "I don't know."
Friends who saw Byrne shortly before she went missing said she was not acting quite herself when she unexpectedly left the concert an hour before midnight and, later, passed on a chance to visit with old high school friends at her hotel less than an hour into the new year.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat and staff writer Katie Nelson contributed to this report.

Sato Starts in Sixth Row in Sao Paulo
SAO PAULO, Brazil May 4, 2013—Takuma Sato qualified 12th in the ABC Supply Honda Saturday afternoon on the streets of Sao Paulo as the field was set for the Itaipava Sao Paulo Indy 300.
Sato advanced out of the first round of knockout qualifying where he was fifth quickest of the 12 cars in his group. However, in the second round, Sato was only able to post a time of 1:21.36 for a speed of 112.210mph around the 2.53-mile, 11-turn temporary circuit. He will line up alongside J.R. Hildebrand. It is the second time this season he will start 12th.
"A difficult day for us," said Sato. "We couldn't pick up the good speed and balance. We lost something. It was very difficult to get it all put together. It's a shame. The guys have been working very hard but we just couldn't find the good grip and balance. Tonight we'll review everything and hopefully we'll find improvements for the race."
There were two practice sessions earlier in the day. Sato was eighth in the first session and dropped to 16th in the second session.
Ryan Hunter-Reay won his second pole of the season by setting a track record with his time of 1:20.43 for a speed of 113.5mph in his Andretti Autosport Chevrolet. Second through sixth were E.J. Viso (Andretti Autosport teammate), Dario Franchitti (Honda), Tony Kanaan (C), James Hinchcliffe (also AA teammate) and Scott Dixon (H).
Will Power, who was quickest in both practice sessions, and his teammate Helio Castroneves, were shut out in the first round when an early red flag cut the session short before those drivers ran a hot lap. Power, who has won every race in Sao Paulo (and the last two from the pole), will start 22nd while Castroneves will start 18th.
Highlights from qualifying can be viewed tonight on NBC Sports Network at 1:00 a.m. ET. NBC Sports Network will broadcast the race live with the pre-race show starting at 11:00 a.m. ET and the green flag waving at just past 11:30 a.m. ET.

From the first set, I nominate Contact, a pretty funny rendition, and always an enjoyable listen. Time Loves a Hero is worth a listen just because it's a debut, and they play it well enough.
From the second set, a scorching Fire turns up to redeem a set chock full of average versions of early Phish standards.
And from the final set, the debut of Foam, which is played well, and a Timber with Russ Remington which goes into a jazzy almost-type 2 jam really quickly and has a nice return to the main theme of the song. Overall, the saxophone of Remington doesn't add a whole lot to most of the songs that were played on the night, but Donna Lee might be of interest to those that are fans of those Giant Country Horns tours later down the road. This Donna Lee is stripped down, sure, but it's well played and is a debut for the band.
Let's call it a four star show.

The Tri-Valley area has some pretty amazing female athletes.
Consider what The Buzzer has learned in the past week or so:
In tennis, Monte Vista (19-0) not only won the East Bay Athletic League team title last week, but the Mustangs' Kaitlyn Haithcock earned the league tournament singles title without dropping a set in four straight matches (only losing 12 games overall).
The Mustangs' dynamic duo of Betsy Main and Danielle Yancey accomplished an impressive tennis double-double. They teamed to win the league tournament doubles title and the EBAL doubles qualifying tournament, back-to-back. They beat Foothill sophomores Kelsey Ouyang and Ariana Motavali 6-3 6-2 in the qualifier finals on Nov. 5.
Why are the Mustangs so tough?
Well, coach Rich Favreau points out that the mature Mustangs have 12 seniors and lots of on-court experience. Main, also the team's No. 2 singles player, and Yancey make for a devastating team. Main has great groundstrokes and serves well, and Yancey knows all the nuances of doubles play.
"They know each other so well at this point," Favreau said.
Plus, the Mustangs have a nice coming-of-age story in senior Julia Gulub. She went from being cut as a freshman to No. 3 or 4 on the junior varsity latter as a sophomore to No. 5 or 6 on the varsity as a junior to where she is today ... the No. 2 singles player.
Favreau says Gulub's improvement has come the old-fashioned way: through hard work.
"She's a great success story," he said proudly. "It's not like she's a dynamite player in any particular way, but she just wants it so badly."
FALCONS ON COURSE: In golf, the surging Foothill girls team won the Northern California championship on Nov. 5 for the first time with a smashing score of 375 in Stockton on Monday. The Falcons' top two players, twin sisters Alex and Katie Sborov, are finishing their high school careers in grand style. Alex has orally committed to TCU, and Katie is headed to Vanderbilt.
After Katie drained a 35-foot putt on her final hole to clinch a 1-under 71, she smiled wide. Her dad reminded her that it clinched her first under-par score ever in tournament golf, a 71.
"I've gotten really close," Katie said to breaking par. "I've had a couple of rounds when I've bogeyed the last hole and shot even-par, or I've had a lip-out putt, so some things didn't add up. Today all the parts fell in the right place, and it was good."
What did the twins say to each other before the big tournament?
"We've always had a little rivalry going between us," Katie said. "But we just said, 'Go for it. Make lots of birdies and we'll see who comes out on top,' I remember asking her that."
Of course, Amador Valley junior Kimberly Liu had the EBAL's best round at NorCals, an impressive 4-under 68.
LIVERMORE KICKING INTO GEAR: Livermore girls soccer coach Jason Maratsos has a bit a of a hop in his Cowboy steps these days. He's pleased to have a veteran team eager to take that big step to landing an NCS playoff berth.
Heady days indeed. The majority of Maratsos' starting lineup plays for power clubs, the Pleasanton Rage and Mustang Soccer League, he says.
"I have 10 seniors returning this season," Maratsos said. "For the first time I have four girls who have committed to play in college."
The Cowboys' college commits are Audrey Walke (Arizona), Amanda Nunes (Fresno State), Kylee Southwell (UC San Diego) and Marissa Scheid (UC San Diego). Walke plays for Mustang and the other three play for Pleasanton Rage.
Of course, the EBAL girls soccer is no picnic because of all the great clubs around, but the Cowboys could be poised for an upward move. Stay tuned ...
SAN RAMON VALLEY SIGNINGS: Five San Ramon Valley seniors will be honored at a "mock" college signing ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 14: Jenny Barcellona (swimming, Boise State), Jacqueline Doyle (Northwestern, swimming), Tess Kevorkian (UC Davis, lacrosse), Dani Orlandi (Cal Poly, swimming), and Clayton Young (UC Santa Barbara, swimming).

The Cave is not an easy game. We know this because we've played it, and we're sure of it because Ron Gilbert, the game's designer and one of the big brains behind Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion, reassured us that it wasn't our fault we got stuck.
You see, for every journey through the game's mysterious talking Cave, an omniscient narrator/tormentor, you have to choose three of seven characters. We happened to choose the Time Traveler for our first playthrough, which Gilbert explained was a bold choice—though we didn't know it at the time.
"The Time Traveler area is probably one of the hardest in the game," he told us over the phone. "Choosing her is a little bit like turning on hard mode." Well now you tell us.
Still, The Cave is a wonderfully inventive experience, and we were particularly intrigued by how it throws out most adventure game conventions, from bloated inventories to vapid character movement.
Thankfully, Gilbert "could talk about adventure game stuff forever," he told us, and he was happy to touch on those topics and more. Check it out.
Complex: So The Cave is not a typical adventure game—how did elements like the multiple characters, the platforming, and all that come about?
Gilbert: Well, a lot of that came from, you know, when I really started to sit down and think about making the game a couple years ago, you know, for real, I went back and I looked at a lot of the old classic point-and-click adventure games—you know, that I had made, and that other people had made—and, you know, there are a couple of things that kind of hit me about them. One was that inventory had kind of gotten out of control. That hundreds of items would sit in your inventory. In some ways it was making designers a little bit lazy, because we could just throw stuff in your inventory and then call it a puzzle, that you have to search through the inventory to find something. This was one of the big things that hit me. And so with The Cave, there really is no inventory. Each of the characters can carry one thing with them. And that was, you know, in some ways it was kind of liberating, from a, you know, as a designer, to not have that crutch of the inventory anymore…it was really fun to think about designing without that classic point-and-click inventory.
Another thing that I really noticed from playing those games—you know, going back and playing them—was that just moving around the world was kind of dull. And I don't remember it being that way, you know, back in the day, but I think now with just how gaming has changed in general, you know, clicking on something and then waiting 30 seconds for somebody to walk all the way over there just wasn't that much fun. And so that's why, you know, we decided to put in this very, very light platforming element to the game, you know? We don't expect you to have to get better at the platforming, you know? We're not requiring you to do, like, split-second timing. But what it does mean is it just makes moving around the world fun. So that was kind of the other thing that I really wanted to address with adventure games.
I think the game does a really good job of avoiding typical adventure game logic, where you have to guess what the designers were thinking when they designed the puzzles. You can work out the solutions for most things logically. Was that an important thing for you? Avoiding that convoluted logic?
Yeah, I mean, that's always been very important to me in games, I mean, even going back to, you know, Monkey Island, I did try to make all of those puzzles make sense. And I look at it as, you know, you the player—it should be you versus the game, not you versus the game designer. And so a lot of really obtuse adventure game puzzles, you know, when I'm playing them, I really feel like the game designer is sitting over there laughing at me because I can't solve the puzzle, not that the game is challenging and I just haven't figured out this one thing about the game. So, you know, it's always been important to me that it's player against game, not player against game designer. And so, you know, the thing you mentioned about the adventure game puzzles, that's always been very important to me. You know, when we were designing all the puzzles for The Cave, you know, the other designer, [Double Fine's JP LeBreton], and I, we spent a lot of time making sure the puzzles did make sense. Because I don't think the adventure game puzzles that, you know—it may not make sense to you initially, but once you have figured it out, you should go, "Oh, yeah, I totally should have thought of that!" You know? That's kind of the right reaction to an adventure game puzzle.
So I want to ask you about one specific puzzle, because I'm hopelessly stuck, in the Time Traveler's section.
The Time Traveler area is probably one of the hardest in the game.
That makes me feel a bit better.
So yeah, she definitely—choosing her is a little bit like turning on hard mode.
I get the sense that I need a bucket—or a "Rangfust" as the people in the future call it—but can't figure out for the life of me how to make one appear. I had one earlier, but of course there's no inventory so I wound up dropping it a while ago. And I'm getting the feeling I should have kept it with me—
Well, you don't need to bring that bucket with you. You can bring the bucket with you. It kind of lets you circumvent some puzzles if you do happen to think about bringing the bucket, but it's not necessary. I mean, there's no way in this game that you can screw yourself over, so there's absolutely nothing that you can forget to take that suddenly makes the game unwinnable at the end. So you don't have to worry about that. The thing about the bucket—and yeah, this probably could be, like, the hardest puzzle in the entire game—the one that you're hitting up against…you have to go all the way back in time and make these very small series of changes in order to have a bucket appear in the present. And, you know, it has to do with that whole area with the rock, and you need to somehow get a well to appear in the present, and you need to somehow get a bucket to appear in the future. So it's just kind of going around and doing these things and watching how the past affects the present and the future in order to get a bucket to appear.
The time travel stuff is a really interesting mechanic.
Yeah, it makes your head hurt. I mean, it made my head hurt designing it.

Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
I'm not saying that Sanchez is even a good QB, but the Jets seem hell-bent over the last few years of making sure thatthe guy has zero chance to succeed.
Someone needs to contact bill cosby and get him to host a new show: "Jets Say the Darndest Things"
Need to justify his salary somehow. At any stretch, Geno will be starting by year's end.
