Bryan Dattilo on Frances Reid
It's only been a few months since Lucas moved to Hong Kong and Bryan Dattilo returned to the role of father and auditioning actor. "Full-time dad takes up about 80% of the life," Bryan told us. "Cooking, football and a practice game a week and then homework. And getting him to school. And picking up." Like any full-time parent, there's always something to do for son Gabe. But he's also an actor and that means auditioning, as well as going to class, which Bryan describes as "interesting and fun." And, because Bryan is Bryan, "staying out of trouble is a full-time job!"
When Lucas first arrived in Salem, he was a young man who was just finding out that his heritage wasn't quite what he thought it was. He was, in fact, a Horton, but not everyone was thrilled with that fact. Alice, as ever, could be counted on to make things right. As Bryan told us, theirs "was a special connection because Alice kind of let him into the family. He had the whole realization of being a Horton at the age that Lucas was, and the lack of identity. You know, when you're at that age – 18 to 22 – it's that first peek at who you're going to be or who you are, really. So for him to find out that he was a Horton at that time, Alice was really there for him."
Lucas and Alice had a special connection, and Bryan believes his connection with the beloved matriarch was no less special. "We had really cool scenes because I used to watch the show with my grandmother," Bryan told us. "So to have scenes with the grandmother of the show … You know, my grandmother identified with Alice so much and loved her so much and when I was growing up watching the show, the Horton living room to me was like heaven, almost. Then to be there and to have scenes when I first started out, and to have her kind of help me, because I had a lot of trouble memorizing dialogue when I first started and making things right in scenes. I would always play the victim or my voice would have such a whine to it. She would tell me to calm down and she would help me. She was very studious about knowing lines. To her, if an actor came on set and didn't know their lines, she couldn't imagine that. You have one job. Know your lines. And be professional. She used to laugh at me because sometimes I wasn't so professional. But I used to smother her with kisses so she had to love me!"
"She used to call me Lucas," Bryan continued with a laugh. "Lucas, please, stay focused, honey. Please. For the director. For the show. Then if I didn't, or someone didn't know their lines very well, she always had kind of a funny thing to say, whether it was 'actors who don't know their lines are like lost dogs.' She used to say that! Don't you mean like a lost puppy? No, I mean dog. Then the director would tell her to do something, and she would say, wait a minute here. How about this? And she would say something totally different and the director would say perfect! I was thinking that Frances. Because whatever she wanted to do was the right decision, so it didn't matter what the director had to say!"
Thanks to Frances's direction and advice, Bryan certainly grew as an actor. And that helped him in his return as Lucas for Alice's funeral. "It's always fun to be dramatic," Bryan told us, "to see how far you can go with it without going too far. I think that's the tough thing with scenes like that. Obviously, you have the emotion there, but my mistake in the past, I think, has been just playing the emotion too raw and not having composure. It's fun to watch someone go through an emotional experience but you don't want someone to overdo it to the point where it ruins the validity of the scene. So I tried to do that."
And returning to Salem can't have been easy for Lucas. There are a lot of tough memories there, particularly with Sami, and also with Chloe. As Bryan said "whenever you go home because of the death of a family member, it's never very pleasant. But it's something you have to do to honor their memory and their existence. So he did that. But it's kind of hard to run into Sami with the daughter situation, and Will and leaving his child. There weren't many happy moments."
Bryan was impressed with the way Alice's funeral was handled. "I had a cool speech during the funeral, which I thought was very well done," he said. "I expected the typical set-up with the church with everyone at a podium doing their speeches, crying, but it was cool to have it pseudo outside with that kind of feel and all of us laying the flowers on her coffin and all saying our special pieces about her and our own connections. I thought it was very realistic. I was happy to be there. Happy to be upset!"
"They gave me this great moment," Bryan continued, "where I was kind of looking back on the living room before I left and I kind of stole the picture of Tom. I thought that was a really nice touch. And for me it was great to play. Unfortunately, my best take they didn't take because I kicked the table that was on some apple boxes and made some noise. So we had to do it again and I didn't feel like I really did it like I did the first time. But maybe less is more."
As everyone in Salem is feeling the loss of Frances, so are all the fans, and Bryan still considers himself one. "Even though she wasn't on the show so much towards the end," he said, "she was such a backbone and a backdrop that we could always fall back on. Certain characters would refer to her. I just think that it's such a loss. When Macdonald Carey died, she sort of took over his identity. So now that she's passed away, it's like they're both officially gone and with them both gone, I feel like the book is closed. Now when I watch it - because I watch Days every day - when I watch it now, stepping back as a third party, I can really kind of evaluate how things are going. It's a different show. There are different characters. You really have to kind of search through the characters to find the links to the old Days. I think the people who have the jobs now are doing a great job, it's just to me a little different. But I think as long as it's still a good show and it's still got people interested, I think that's a good thing."
A very good thing and we hope that Salem can continue to grow and look toward the future, even with the loss of this link to the past.

Re: The Point of Aikido
[/quote]If you believe that just doing techniques will develop ki and kokyu... then you make my case for me. [/quote]
sorry i don't follow... what case? i have learned that there are 6 methods of Ki developement in aikido... the actual practice of the waza being one, along with Ibuki and seiza ho and a few others
[/quote]If just doing waza developed some things called "ki and kokyu" there was really no need for millions of Asians over thousands of years to make such a big, near-religious deal of it all unless they were incapable of envisioning simple "expertise" by any means other than making up exotic words. [/quote]
What? what do exotic words have to do with developing Ki... doesn't execution of the waza, demonstrate these qualities and their level of development?
[/quote] Rather than divert this column with yet another discussion, why not look at the "Baseline Skillset" and previous threads for you answers.[/quote]
i will, but the "short" answer would be appreciated...
[/quote] The short answer would also be for you to take a look at Tohei and Ueshiba's ki-tests-demo's and see if you can do them easily. [/quote]
those tests are required on every test i have ever taken except for my first "yoshinkan" test... so i can do them, "easily" is subjective, but i don't seem to find it difficult. While i will agree that some aikidoka focus less on Ki development than others... my initial belief that the practice of the waza is itself a method to develop Ki means that to some degree Ki/internal power is being practiced/developed by all aikidoka... as i believe was Osensei's intent...

Looking at the aquarium bed you get the idea that those who love extreme styles with a unique touch about them will find it a wonderful artistic addition. The light thrown out by the different components of the aquarium right from the fish, plankton to the blue water gives an awesome shade of different hues.
Just how many other ways are there to go green in order to harvest energy? Sure, we have massive hydroelectric dams around the world, not to mention solar panels and modern day windmills, but for smaller and portable devices like the iPhone, what are the options available to the masses? Apart from carrying around an extended battery, or slapping on a solar panel to your iPhone, here is a very different route – albeit being a concept at point of publishing. The AIRE mask is a concept that hails from the mind of Joao Paulo Lammoglia, where it will rely on the power of your breath, converting it to electricity thanks to tiny wind turbines. All you need to do is ensure the AIRE mask remains connected to an iOS-powered device, breathe as usual, and you are good to go.
If the iPad was invented back in 1935, it would look something like this. Appearing in the issue of Everyday Science and Mechanics, this machine is a microfilm reader. I doubt anyone is that old to remember what it really is.Its attached to a large pole and photographed pages would be enlarged on a glass screen and buttons would navigate the machine allowing for focusing and flipping the pages. In 1935, this was the "it" thing to have.
Designer Dragan Trenchevski envisions this portable cook top as a boon to travelers and campers who can pull up recipes while whipping up meals miles from home, thanks to its 3G connection and battery pack. Once a recipe is selected, it becomes a stove top. Using induction heating, the cook can select how hot the surface needs to be to cook the particular dish.
How many times you found yourself at the middle of nowhere with your bike broken without needed tools to repair it? Well, if you are not bike driver you might not be able to understand the need of a biker for the product we are about to describe. Bike Fixation is Minneapolis based company which designed the self service kiosk and bike stand where you can find all possible accessories and tools to repair different kind of damages and breaks on your beloved bike. This kind of kiosk and stand would perfectly fit in many gas-stations however, I am affraid that we will have to wait a lot until see this product being installed everywhere.

Hey Guys!
So I went for a run the past two mornings. Wednesday was a pretty rough day, I couldn't get my butt out the door for whatever reason so instead of a 30 minute tempo run I did a 25 minute easy run. Then today was suppose to be a 30 minute easy run but instead I did a 30 minute progressive run.
I was very happy with this run! I felt really good too. I'm still trying to figure out what triggers good and bad runs to hopefully level out my training a bit.
This weekend I'm heading to Chicago to do the Great Urban Race with my step-sister. It should be a blast and will definitely put the fun back into run for me.
After my next half I'm thinking I might drop back to 5ks and 10ks for a while. I can tell that my body is getting sick of long runs and I really want to work on my speed anyway. I feel like I've been sitting at the same pace for the past year and want to break out. I'd like to break into the 25 minute range in a 5k this year (3 minute PR)
I also got a ton of compression socks in the mail today! If you entered my May Miles challenge you could be the lucky winner of one of them :)
I also had to mention my dinner because I literally made it in 10 minutes tonight since I didn't have much time between dinner and meeting my friend at the mall. I fried up some crab cakes and roasted some zucchini in the oven. It was super good and took less time than cooking a frozen pizza. A great go-to dinner for those nights you're pressed for time!
What's your go-to dinner?

Most days, a stubborn pin or two will refuse to go down, putting an early end to the quest for perfection.
But there are times — and the boys live for these times — when the pins all keep falling, past the eighth frame, the ninth and maybe even into the 10th. Nick Lutz grins as he tries to explain the feeling. "Heart's pounding and stuff," he said.
The 16-year-old nailed his first league-play 300 game last year. He thought for sure he'd come up short because the 11th throw wasn't great and it looked like it would break as a spoiler.
"But it struck," Lutz said. So did the next one.
Lutz and his best friend, Rick Young, love to bowl. They've discovered that they love it more than skateboarding, more than BMX-riding, more than messing around on South Side streets.
"I used to get in trouble," said Young, 17. "If something went wrong in Obetz, I was on the top-five list of suspects."
In fact, he says with a mixture of pride and amusement, police weren't quite sure about bowling as an alibi. He and Lutz once had to explain that they couldn't have caused any problems because they were knocking over pins on the homemade plywood outdoor lane they built at the home of Young's uncle Tad Davis.
"They asked where we were, and we said, 'Backyard bowling,' " Young said. "We had to show them."
The officers might have found it more surprising if the teens had shared the rest of the story: How bowling has given them a community, mentors, a shot at college and an unlikely relationship with an aging pro who's betting big on a revamped Columbus alley and a new generation of bowlers to help revive his faded sport.
"He's the reason I'm as good as I am," Lutz said. "I'm planning on sticking with this. All the way."
Wayne Webb had no ties to central Ohio, much less to a run-down 50-year-old bowling alley on S. High Street.
He was in Dayton with the Professional Bowlers Association Senior Tour three years ago when a colleague told him he ought to give up his California pro shop. "You need to run a bowling alley," said Mike Irwin, himself an alley owner.
As a kid, Webb had pretty much lived in his family's bowling alley in Taunton, Mass. The school bus dropped him off there every afternoon. "Bowling alleys were little cities unto themselves," he said.
For his 18th birthday, Webb turned pro and got his PBA card.
Now 54, Webb was recently married for the fourth time and is still working to put some distance between his current life and hard-partying past. He wasn't sure about taking on a new challenge.
Although he's in the PBA Hall of Fame and was named senior player of the year in 2010, Webb is not a rich man. And the sport side of his industry is gasping, he said. Ten-pin alleys have given way to family fun centers, hosting lots of children's birthday parties and not many leagues. Few people can name the sport's current stars.
Still, Webb and his wife, Elaine, partnered with Irwin to buy the former Rainbow Lanes at 3224 S. High St.
"I guess we gambled hard," he said.
"Short-saled our house," Elaine said.
They've put more than $1 million into Wayne Webb's Columbus Bowl, which gleams with new lanes, scoring machines and murals.The old alley "was so run-down, it's hard to get customers back," Elaine Webb said.
"People from the South Side will go to other areas, but people outside the South Side don't come here," Wayne Webb said. "That's why we've got to keep pulling. Once people walk in here, they'll come back."
The couple aims much of their effort at young bowlers such as Lutz and Young, who took up the sport just a few years ago. They were among the first friends the Webbs made in Columbus.
Wayne Webb had mentored kids before, making it clear that the door to his shop was always open. They could flop on the couch, check out the bowling balls, wonder aloud about life.
He didn't have to tell them it was safe to talk. "They knew," he said.
He and Elaine were happy to see that their new alley came with a band of young regulars, too. " There's a lot of talent here," she said, "a lot of heart."
Josh McKinney, 18, lost his legs and lower arms to a bacterial infection years ago but bowls alongside his buddies anyway.
Chaz Dennis, 15, still holds the U.S. record for youngest bowler to score a perfect 300 game, which he did at age 10.
Drenda Marshall said her 13-year-old, Jonathan, started bowling as a preschooler after his father died.
"It means so much to our youth to have a Hall of Famer, a professional bowler, on their side," Tad Davis, Young's uncle, said of Webb's involvement."It's like having Archie Griffin or Troy Aikman standing behind you."
A repurposed alcove inside the old Obetz farmhouse serves as a makeshift pro shop, complete with polishing equipment. Davis gave over the space a few years ago — along with most of his own spare time and money — once he realized that the teens' interest wasn't fleeting.
"This is our collection, our passion," he said.
Young can't hide his excitement when a visitor comments on the number of bowling balls on display. He starts counting, thinks he has tallied 64. Lutz, the quieter of the two, shrugs. "You can never have too many," he said. "They all do different things."
Most have manufacturer-supplied names: Firestorm, Cool Noize, Boost, Reign of Fire. One is fragranced, made to smell like cinnamon. "Don't ask me why," Young said.
Webb helps the teens keep their favorites properly fit, teaches them to drill the holes just right. The balls do a lot of the work, he said. High-performance bowling balls now are made with a weight block inside. Depending on the design, the block makes it easier to curve, hook or straighten a throw.
"It's the engine of the ball," Webb said. "Technology's made the game so easy that everyone can strike."
Maybe not exactly, but scores have improved. When Webb was coming into his prime, the best bowlers averaged about 200. Now, it's 240, he said.Already, Lutz, a junior at Hamilton Township High School, averages 211. Young, a senior there, averages about 198.
"Wayne was known as the best clutch bowler," Elaine Webb said. "He could make it spin, hook, twist. Now, you find the right ball to do that."
Young and Lutz haven't known it any other way. They're all about the physics, science of the lane surface, oil patterns and cool balls.
Lutz bowls with both hands, a style that's becoming more popular, even among professionals. He says he has better control and spin that way.
At first, "people kept criticizing and criticizing," he said. "Now, they can't say anything. It works."
Strike When Provoked. That's what the boys decided to call their team during a recent competition at Columbus Bowl.
Webb was amused. So he kept coming down behind the lane, picking at Young, Lutz and that bold name."I'm provoking you," he said. "Now strike!"
Davis has been involved with other youth sports, but nothing compares. "The bowling family is so much different from soccer, baseball, football," he said. "It feels closer."
Lutz and Young say they don't dream of fame and money so much as perseverance and accomplishment. Webb, who still travels on the senior tour, would say that's a good thing.
"You look at the best professional bowlers, they're probably making $100,000 a year," he said. That's before expenses.
Webb captured 20 PBA titles but never topped $150,000 in annual earnings, he said. The leader on the most recent PBA money list made $140,250 for the season. Pro golfer Tiger Woods, meanwhile, pocketed more than $1 million last month alone for winning the Memorial Tournament.
"The (PBA) tour's in trouble, and that hurts kids," Webb said. "They think, 'If I can't make a living on the tour, why do it?' "
Lutz and Young don't have to answer that question; at least, not yet. They just want to land a spot on a college team. Coaches are interested, Davis said proudly.
He is their champion. A wedding-cake baker by day, Davis scrimps and saves to help pay for tournaments and alley time for practice.
"Before I started hanging out with Nick, I had friends, and I think you'd call them hoodlums," Young said. "I fought a lot. I guess you'd say I had a hard outer shell because of some things that happened to me."
Bowling made all that stuff smaller. "When I'm on a lane, it seems like everything else doesn't matter," Young said. "I'm happy."
Webb thinks professional bowling could thrive again if it moved away from the individual focus and became a team sport, taking a page from the rising popularity of youth-led bowling. "That's why high schools are great and colleges are great," he said.
He and his wife had to bring in extra bleachers when Columbus Bowl hosted state high-school tournaments. Fired-up fans painted their faces and cheered.
"I played other sports, like baseball and wrestling and all that," Lutz said. "But I like bowling. There's so much to it."
As he says this, he and Young are taking turns rolling old balls down the makeshift lane in Davis' backyard. Too bad it's not real, Lutz said.
They might never go inside.

The other day I read that Starbucks is going through another site design (why do always make position site designs as this big one time project vs. just making it an evolutionary process, where we are constantly learning and tweaking).
Starbucks is optimizing its site for mobile platforms vs. the Web. Nice, eh? Makes a lot of sense (although you could just design different pages based on how are people are accessing their site). They might be the first major website/company to do this – to design first for Mobile. (Thus, I have to be one of the many to use Starbucks as a great example of leading the way).
Makes perfect sense for them since many of their coffee drinker users are younger folks accessing info on their Android or iPhone.
Some tips for designing for Mobile:
- More people browse so don't rely on 'search' as much
- Think about the various screen sizes that will be used
- Use larger font – even if iPads, etc. will eventual catch on
- Add some fat to your scroll bars so they can be found and used easier
- Consistency of icons (and if you have a website – make sure they UI, Information architecture, etc. are consistent across all platforms)
- Consider how 'location' can be used (for Starbucks this is a no-brainer)
- Highlight your multiple stories (OK, this might be like number #5)
- Don't give up on browser/device discrimination – design for the different platforms/browsers people are using – yes, this will require some design/dev resources
- Think about how individuals can collaborate – (it's surprising how many mobile apps don't think about integrating some sort of sharing, collaboration tools, especially cause these are so important for Gen Y)
- Add some sort feedback mechanism so you can improve/enhance your product over time – again think of design and development as an evolutionary process
And as always, keep pulsing your users to see how you can improve your application or website.
Everyone is talking about Gen Y and their impact on the web, on mobile, etc. But I have to tell you that when you think about design, collaboration, etc., you might want to think about the 'even" younger generation too. My 14-month old son can now take an iPhone app and slide images across the screen. (The problem is that he thinks everything works that way so he is trying to drag his fingers across cereal boxes, refrigerator doors, etc… , thinking that a new image will pop up.). And I just read today that 92% of 2 year olds have some sort of online ID.
So designing websites for mobile needs to become top of mind. If not for my son, then for me, an old guy, who has to squint to (try and) read what's on his iPhone.

Richard Yates (novelist)

|Literary movement
Richard Yates (February 3, 1926 – November 7, 1992) was an American fiction writer, identified with the mid-century 'Age of Anxiety'.
His first novel, Revolutionary Road, was a finalist for the 1962 National Book Award, followed by his first short-story collection, Eleven Kinds of Loneliness, which brought comparisons to James Joyce. But his critical acclaim was not reflected in commercial success during his lifetime, though interest has revived somewhat since his death, with the 2008 Academy Award nominated film Revolutionary Road, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Born in Yonkers, New York, Yates came from an unstable home. His parents divorced when he was 3 and much of his childhood was spent in many different towns and residences. Yates first became interested in journalism and writing while attending Avon Old Farms School in Avon, Connecticut.
After leaving Avon, Yates joined the Army, serving in France and Germany during World War II. By the middle of 1946, he was back in New York.[4] Upon his return to New York City he worked as a journalist, freelance ghost writer (briefly writing speeches for Attorney General Robert Kennedy) and publicity writer for Remington Rand Corporation.[5] His career as a novelist began in 1961 with the publication of the widely heralded[citation needed] Revolutionary Road. He subsequently taught writing at Columbia University, the New School for Social Research,[4] Boston University (where his papers are archived),[6] at the University of Iowa Writer's Workshop, at Wichita State University, the University of Southern California Master of Professional Writing Program, and at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.[7]
In 1962, he wrote the screenplay for a film adaptation of William Styron's Lie Down in Darkness.
In 1948, he married Sheila Bryant, the daughter of Marjorie Gilhooley Bryant and British actor Charles Bryant, who had lived with Broadway actress and silent-film star Alla Nazimova during the height of her wealth and fame, from 1952 to 1955. Richard and Sheila Yates had two daughters, Sharon and Monica, before divorcing in 1959. He remarried in 1968 to Martha Speer, with whom he had a daughter named Gina.[8] In 1992, he died of emphysema and complications from minor surgery in Birmingham, Alabama.[9]
The character of Elaine Benes on Seinfeld was loosely based on his daughter Monica, who had been the girlfriend and later friend of co-creator Larry David. David's first meeting with the writer was the basis for "The Jacket" episode of Seinfeld's second season, in which Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza meet Elaine's curmudgeonly novelist father.[10][11]
Yates's fiction was autobiographical in nature, as his fiction included much of his own life. Yates was born in 1926, making him 17 in 1943, the same age in that year as William Grove in A Good School; and he was 29 in 1955, the same age in that year as Frank Wheeler in Revolutionary Road; and 36 in 1962, the age Emily Grimes was that year in The Easter Parade.[12]
Yates's first novel, Revolutionary Road, was a finalist for the National Book Award that year (alongside Walker Percy's The Moviegoer, which won, Joseph Heller's Catch-22, and J.D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey). Yates was championed by writers as diverse as Kurt Vonnegut, Dorothy Parker, William Styron, Tennessee Williams and John Cheever. Yates's brand of realism was a direct influence on writers such as Andre Dubus, Raymond Carver and Richard Ford.[4]
For much of his life, Yates's work met almost universal critical acclaim, yet not one of his books sold over 12,000 copies in hardcover first edition.[13] All of his novels were out of print in the years after his death, though his reputation has substantially increased posthumously and many of his novels have since been reissued in new editions. This current success can be largely traced to the influence of Stewart O'Nan's 1999 essay in the Boston Review, "The Lost World of Richard Yates: How the great writer of the Age of Anxiety disappeared from print".
With the revival of interest in Yates's life and work after his death, Blake Bailey published the first in-depth biography of Yates, A Tragic Honesty: The Life and Work of Richard Yates (2003). Film director Sam Mendes directed Revolutionary Road, a 2008 Anglo-American drama film, based on the 1961 novel of the same name by Richard Yates. The film was nominated for BAFTAs, Golden Globes, Academy Awards, and others. Kate Winslet thanked Richard Yates for writing such a powerful novel and providing such a strong role for a woman while accepting a Golden Globe for Best Actress Award for the film.[14]
Short fiction[edit]
Yates was also an acclaimed author of short stories.
Eleven Kinds of Loneliness, Yates' first collection, followed the publication of his famed first novel Revolutionary Road by a single year. It was compared favorably to James Joyce's Dubliners (all but one of its stories take place in and around the boroughs of New York City as opposed to Joyce's Dublin) and eventually achieved a kind of cult status among fiction writers despite its relative obscurity. One later New York Times essay praised Yates' "exposure of the small fiercely defended dignities and much vaster humiliations of characters who might have been picked almost at random from the fat telephone book of the Borough of Queens."[15]
Yates' second collection, Liars in Love, appeared nearly 20 years later, in 1981, and was again met with a positive critical reception. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, writing for the Times, called the stories "wonderfully crafted," and concluded that "every detail of this collection stays alive and fresh in one's memory."[16]
Despite this, only one of Yates' short stories ever appeared in The New Yorker (after repeated rejections), and none during his lifetime. This story, "The Canal," was published in the magazine nine years after the author's death to celebrate the 2001 release of The Collected Stories of Richard Yates, a collection that was again met with great critical fanfare.
Popular culture[edit]

Design attributed to William Buckland (1734 – 1774)
Carving attributed to William Bernard Sears (1732 – 1818)
1761 – 1771
Richmond County, Virginia
Walnut with a marble top
MESDA Purchase Fund (acc. 3425)
This table's creator, carver, and inspiration, as well as its marble top were all imported from England. In 1759, George Mason (1725-1792) of Gunston Hall Plantation in Fairfax County, Virginia, penned an impressive recommendation for the table's creator. "The within named William Buckland came into Virginia with my brother," Mason wrote, "who engaged him in London and had a very good Character of him there." Mason added, "During the time he lived with me, he had the entire Direction of the Carpenter's & Joiner's Work of a large House…I can with great Justice recommend him to any Gentleman that may have occasion to employ him…& I think him a complete Master of the Carpenter's & Joiner's Business both in Theory & Practice." In addition to William Buckland, Mason also procured in London a master carver, William Bernard Sears, and brought him to Virginia as an indentured servant.
Within a few years of gaining their freedom and completing Mason's house at Gunston Hall, Buckland and Sears were engaged by John Tayloe (1721-1779) to construct his new house at Mount Airy Plantation in Richmond County. There, the two craftsmen collaborated on MESDA's magnificently carved sideboard table adapted directly from plate 38 of Thomas Chippendale's Gentleman and Cabinetmaker's Director (London, 1755).

Group Wants Roadless Rule To Be Law
Lander, Wy – One conservation group that supports the roadless rule says Congress should make it a law. The Wyoming Outdoor Council's Lisa McGee argues with all of the development on public lands recently, it doesn't make sense to get rid of the Clinton-era policy that forbids development in certain national forests.
"There's a good argument to be made that times have changed since the Clinton rule was promulgated. Initially, all of the Western states opposed the roadless rule and today almost all of them support it."
This week, U-S District Judge Clarence Brimmer overturned the roadless rule. McGee says that there is broad support for keeping the policy intact. She says if Congress made it a law, it wouldn't be as easily tied up in court for years on end.

Cheats and Walkthroughs
You know what we haven't talked about for awhile? Zombies. Good thing Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is coming out on Xbox LIVE Arcade today, because it's filled to the brim with Zombies. Case Zero is a downloadable game that bridges the gap between the original Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2.
From the reviewer, our good old zombie-loving friend Bryan Stratton:
"Case Zero is a surprisingly generous sample of Dead Rising 2's revamped gameplay mechanics and does an excellent job of illustrating the enhancements made since Dead Rising. For starters, more zombies can be displayed on the screen simultaneously—a lot more zombies. The combat is more forgiving and the controls are more responsive, especially when using aimed weapons and firearms."

Toy Soldiers: Cold War is a sequel to last year's highly successful action/strategy game Toy Soldiers. Not only does Toy Soldiers: Cold War fix every initial problem from its predecessor, it goes above and beyond. It takes downloadable arcade games to a new level, and a damn fine one at that.
When I played the original Toy Soldiers last year, I loved it, but it also took time to suck me in and make me love it. With Toy Soldiers: Cold War, nope. Within the first ten minutes of playing, I was screaming "This is fucking awesome!" Because, yes, it is all that and a fistful of bullets. First and foremost, the game does a better job of explaining how to play. Each level in the tutorial gives you a grasp of all the types of turrets and what exactly they're used for. Then, the first level of the game, "Basic Training," gives you an insight on how the game is supposed to be played. Not only that, but it's action packed and will make you yell, "Fuck yeah!" once you've completed it.
The biggest (and probably the smartest) change to Toy Soldiers: Cold War is the era. To be honest, the WWI setting in the original was nice and all, but I often found it quite boring, especially compared to the Cold War. Not only is this more interesting, it's more exciting and it grabs you by the balls. There will be more enemies, more variety, and best of all, more chaos. Toy Soldiers: Cold War is fucking packed with content, and I mean packed. The single-player campaign consists of eleven levels; Versus adds three unique maps to its mode; Survival adds another three unique maps; and last but not least, you have six additional mini-games to play. Oh, and did I mention you can play the entire campaign, Survival, and mini-games modes in two-player co-op? Online and off? Yeah, this is an arcade title done right.
On top of all that, each level — through campaign, survival, etc. — has its own unique challenge for you to complete. The campaign challenges, of which there are two per level compared to just one for other game modes, will grant you "Decorations" for each one completed for a total of 22. Each challenge has multiple levels as well. Say you need to earn 50 kills for level one, 100 for level 2, and so forth. All of this information will be displayed when selecting a level in any game mode. You'll see your friends' high scores, how many levels of the challenge they've completed, your Xbox LIVE rank, and your rank amongst your friends. There's also a weapons case where you can view and test all the weapons in the game with unlimited ammo and no reloads against endless infantry.
Now that I've spent the last four paragraphs explaining just how much content this game packs, you're probably wondering about the gameplay itself. Simply put, it's fucking spectacular. The original Toy Soldiers often felt clunky and could also be a pain in the ass. With Toy Soldiers: Cold War, don't even think about it. Everything is so seamless and smooth, and the frame rate holds up marvelously. Toy Soldiers: Cold War also offers a nice selection in its arsenal. You have your standard mini-gun turrets, rocket launchers, and even a turret that shoots fucking Roman Candles. Before you ask, yes, it's beautifully awesome. Each turret also has three levels that significantly change with each upgrade. At level one, tour rocket launcher shoots a standard rocket, which can be flown manually by holding the left trigger. At level two, it fires four less powerful rockets one after another.
All the turrets are nice for a simple game of tower defense, but where Toy Soldiers: Cold War really shines is in its vehicles, such as tanks, helicopters, and even jets, plus the new feature to acquire a Barrage. While manually controlling any turret or vehicle, a meter is displayed in the bottom left hand corner. The faster you kill, the faster it fills. Once you reach 20 consecutive kills, you'll be treated to unlimited ammo and no reloads. Imagine a rocket turret level two shooting hundreds of rockets within a short few seconds. Yeah, it's awesome. Once you reach 40 consecutive kills, you'll earn a Barrage chosen at random. You might get a nice artillery strike to bring a flame-filled death upon your foes, a controllable AC-130 equipped with three different deadly weapons to rain hell, or my personal favorite: Rambo.
Okay, so it's not technically called Rambo, but it looks exactly like him and the level of insanity he brings is fucking unreal. Not only is he the coolest Barrage in the game, the way he enters the battlefield is astounding. By pressing Y, a giant cardboard action figure box appears on the battlefield, falls to the surface, and out comes Rambo wielding a light machine gun in one hand, and a rocket launcher in the other. Rambo has unlimited ammo, no reloads, and can travel virtually anywhere on the playing field. He also screams some intense dialog as well. Take on a fleet of soldiers and he might yell "This one's for Jimmy," or "You want a war? You've got a war." Simply put, it's remarkable.
Over the course of the seven-to-eight-hour campaign, I felt a significant change in the difficulty over the original. I've only played the game on normal thus far. Even though it was substantially easier, the experience was superior in every way. The game never lets up or gets dull at any point and always keeps you on your toes wanting more. Thankfully so, it does just that with a wide variety of game modes.

After loving the first season of Ai Yori Aoshi, I decided to give this second season ago. Hoping that this anime will be as good or even better than the first, I went into this anime with high expectation. Now, did this anime live up to the hype? Well lets see.
Story (4/10)
Now, the story was decent and they made the best in what they were doing but in all honesty it didn't feel like a follow on at all, I mean you get to know each characters background a little more which is always nice but you want to see more one how our two love birds are doing and are they making any progress. But in the end you actually don't really go into those two characters at all.
It was like one episode of another characters background and then another episode about them which was nice, but no consistency. Through that whole anime I was hoping that maybe in the end the two couple eventually can say something to the rest of the group otherwise it could be complicated in the future seems practically everyone loves our male protagonist, like him being accepted into the family. In the end you don't get nothing of a sort.
Also don't think your going to get the same amount of romance as you did in the last season because you won't.
Story should be more focused on the two main couple with a few other episodes about the other characters lives.
Series really let me down and just didn't feel like Ai Yori Aoshi to be fairly honest with you. It was just mostly about the others and their lives and their back story nothing more, nothing less.
Art (8/10)
Art as always was amazing. Very articulate and the characters looked amazing and what needed to be detailed was done to perfection in my eyes. In was very nice for your eyes instead of straining them, like in your face kinda thing which is smoothing.
Sound (7/10)
The sound was not as great as the first but it was still amazing. Liked the intro song but again in the first season was better because I felt like I wanted to sing to it but this one was just something nice to listen to. Also the sound effects were nice as well and also calming as they should be for this type of genre n anime.
Characters (7/10)
Characters were good, you got to know more about them which gave them a nice feeling to them, also every character felt a little different than before, but I will get to that when I talk about each character.
Kaoru Hanabishi: He is the same as he always is but there is something different about him. In this one he was alot more noticeable about things (but didn't act until it was confirmed) and was a lot more there for his partner. Also he is a lot more mature, like when it comes to his future and the one for his fiance. More of a man so thats nice there, right? I would say so, so lets continue.
Aoi Sakuraba: There is not much more to say about her seems she is basically the same as the last season. But, thats exactly it there is nothing and I wanted to know more about her to be honest. It didn't have to be about her but about the love for him, she does have this one moment when she explains why she has loved Kaoru for so long but I'm not going to go into that. Now, few other things is that the two couple are kinda annoying when they repeat the same thing when they stare at each other like 'Aoi-chan, Kaoru-sama' or something like that all the time and its repetitive and not even romantic anymore.
Tina Foster: Now I can't say much about this because it will become a spoiler but you really get to know about this character a lot more near the end when she goes into these deep talks into her past and that. You really get the field of depth of this character and really appreciate it as well, but thats what I found anyways. I will leave it at that n move on.
The rest you don't really get anything out of, the waitress you get to know about her family and what they did. But nothing else more than that really, there was nothing really added to the characters at all and it was disappointing.
Overall (6/10)
I was giving this anime a real high, expecting to see more what the couples have to offer to one another, but to basically see no real step forward in their relationship and they still have to live in secret and I was hoping maybe that will get resolved. The characters were just the same apart from Miss Tina in essence. The rest were boring because it was the same old same old. Plus what didn't help, the episodes were like this, one episode of Chika and her life with her friends to one episode about our couples through out this entire series and was just stupid nothing was really adding to the depths of this anime like it did in the first or adding on to it.
I still recommend this anime because it was still nice to watch but if you in it to see how the two lovers get on and to see if anything else happens don't bother because you will be disappointed.
I wanted to give this anime more of a better rating than I did but I just coulded because in all honesty it doesn't deserve it.
Hoped it helped you and I hope you enjoyed reading the review. - Komirai

Blackberry Z10 Initial Review
First of all, I want to make perfectly clear that I have no financial stake in BlackBerry, don't work for them, don't have any family or friends who do, and don't own a single share of stock. The following is my honest opinion as a consumer. I am, however, an unabashed "fanboy" of the company's products.
I pre-ordered my BlackBerry Z10 on the day of the announcement of its March 22 U.S. release. During my lunch break on Friday (just two days ago -- it seems like the world has changed since then!), I walked over to the AT&T store and picked up my new device after a torturous, seemingly endless wait.
To be frank, when the day finally arrived, I was a little worried that my expectations had been too high and sort of set myself up to be disappointed. "It's just a new phone, Chuck. If it's not as good as the consumer reviews it's been getting in the UK, where it is the top-selling phone by far, it's not the end of the world. It's just a new phone." I worried that the touch-screen keyboard wouldn't be as good as they said, that the camera would be inferior to the iPhone camera, that the apps would be sucky, the interface non-intuitive and on and on.
Well, I am delighted to report that not only was I not disappointed, but the Z10 far exceeds my high expectations.
The wait was worth it.
I am extremely happy that BlackBerry took their time and did it right. I have a few little quibbles which I'll get to below, but overall, the Z10 gets a solid "A" and, grading on a curve, a definite "A+".
This is the kind of mobile computing device that you have to use for real to review. Why? It's a BlackBerry. It's made for productivity. It's made for business. It's made to be the most beautifully efficient communication and collaboration device on the planet. It's not made for TV (though it is some handsome hardware and sleek software). It's not made to make you look sexy (though if you find quiet confidence sexy, it will make you feel sexy after you get to know it a bit). It's not made for gaming (though it seems to have an awful lot of games, and as far as I can tell they look just as cool as the games on other platforms... but I don't know. Personally, I find games utterly boring.).
So when I re-read a few unflattering reviews after actually working with the device, I had to laugh: These guys had clearly not even touched the surface of what this thing can do. They read the specs, swiped around, took a couple of snapshots, and rushed their reviews out before deadline. For tech writers, they're really pretty clueless.
The fact is, once you load your contacts and calendar into the thing and set up your accounts (BBM, AIM, Twitter, e-mail for me, though there are many, many, many options), you can really see just how bad-ass it is. All weekend I kept seeing new cool things this allowed me to do, like seeing a contact's recent Tweets right from their profile in the address book or Tweeting right from the Hub without any need for an app. It seemed like a lot of excellent features that you might need an app for on other platforms are baked right in with the Z10, like the
amazing freakin' keyboard.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think a touch-screen keyboard could be so quick. Not only that, it's quick with one thumb. You're not even typing so much as flicking words one after the other after a certain point. It hates errors of grammar and misspellings and makes them easy to correct. Never type another apostrophe! BlackBerry 10 knows you meant "it's," not "its!"
They have a couple of apps on Android that do something similar (though not nearly as well), I think the main one is called SwiftKey or something. Just a few hours after getting the Z10, I was comparing notes with an Android user who had that app installed and he couldn't touch my speed or accuracy. So they need an app to do something that is integrated into the heart of the Z10's operating system -- and not do it nearly as well!
(As an aside, not for nothin', but that particular Android user was quite impressed with how seamlessly I was able to perform various tasks. Not that it matters. I'm not really interested in comparing with Android. I'm sure the Androids are fine, but Google's chief still uses a BlackBerry. Not sure if that says anything...)
Again , it is a tool for communication, and educated people in serious jobs who need to communicate efficiently will love it.
Some of the features I really, really, really like:
- Multitasking -- it's great to have several apps open at once and to be able to toggle from one to the other so easily. I love the fact that there's no "home" button. What looks like "home" to an old-paradigm smartphone user (the grid of app icons) is something that exists on the Z10, but you almost never see it after you get to know the OS. You just swoosh and glide through the apps that you use all the time, which are always open. Under the hood, the QNX kernel allows this. No other OS can touch it.
- Integration -- I love the way the Hub, the calendar, contacts, and apps are all so tightly integrated. It's hard to explain; suffice to say that your people, your appointments, your communications through various channels are all seamlessly available to each other. Even my old BlackBerry Torch was like that to an extent, which is part of the reason I stuck with it. But the Z10 does it much better.
- Speed -- because of the SOFTWARE (screw the hardware specs), this thing is fast and smooth. As a techie, I prefer software solutions to throwing more hardware at bloated, shitty code.
I could go on and on and on about little things that I like, but that's the crux of it.
Some of the things I disliked:
- Some apps that I had on my Torch aren't (yet[?]) available, specifically Fandango, UPS, and Google Maps. This isn't too big a deal because I found all of the above web apps quite sufficient with the 4G connectivity and nice display. Still... I'd like native apps for those things.
- It may have been something I was doing wrong, but I did find that the touch screen did not respond as well as I would have liked. This only happened a couple times, specifically when switching between cameras (still really cool how you have the still, video, and fancy time shift camera all in one, though, just a gesture away from each other)
- Ummm... uh... does it come in British racing green? Dunno...
All the hullabaloo about a lack of apps strikes me as overblown. I don't really need Netflix. When I search BlackBerry World, all the teevee and movies I could ever want seem to be there. I don't really need Instagram. I can edit any photo right from the photo viewer, without opening an app, and share it to anyone on email, text, Twitter, Fakebook, or whatever. Instagram? Why do I want that, again? Photo editing apps? Got it, thanks.
All in all, the Z10 rocks my socks off. The last time a gadget impressed me this much was probably around 1984, when I first laid fingers on the original Macintosh.
#1 Great review! Thanks!
Great review!

Posted by The One on 12/25/2007, 1:49 am, in reply to "Re: Just read Ultimate Iron Man II #1 (spoilers)"
: were never discussed in both Ultimates
: series and the point of Ultimate Iron Man
: was to fill out his past?
True. However, my issue was that the regrowing of limbs is just too big of a change to go unnoticed in Ultimates 1 & 2. It's naturally difficult to introduce 'new' elements like that (the rebuilding of the limbs) in a character's past.
: Was he drunk at the time? I remember in
: Ultimates 2 he had no problem with it.
I don't think he was drunk. However, what I was trying to say is that this was his *first* time killing. I'm sure he would grow accustomed to it, but no matter how cocky I am, you won't see me cracking jokes the first time I'm thrown into battle and kill tens of people.

The man you see in the photo above is awesome. He reportedly walked into a NYC library, took out a wireless router, an Xbox 360, monitor, controller, and headset, then sat down to go to work.
After building his gaming command center, the dude started playing Halo 3, Call of Duty and other games using the New York library's public Wi-Fi, barking orders at his team-mates over the headset as he did. Killjoy library officials reportedly shut down his one-man LAN party in like two minutes.
My question: If the dude can't afford an internet connection at home, how can he pay for Xbox Live?

A group of dreamers turned modders. Though small in number, don't underestimate our team potential. We all understand each other very well and hence the result turns out to be quite good. We have undertaken a small project currently, the 'Pokemon lite blue' mod, and with this we plan to expand our knowledge regarding game making and the other aspects related to it. The team currently needs more members. Anyone skilled with working on the Quake4 engine (ID Tech4) please contact anyone of us.
No games, mods, engines, software or hardware appear to be published or in development by IBN Con.. We suggest you add games, mods, engines and hardware you are developing here (or update existing games, mods, engines and hardware on the site which should be linked with this Developer & Publisher).
If this profile is not used to publish or develop games, mods, engines, software or hardware we recommend you contact us and we will move it to the groups section and this page will display a blog instead.
