20 Games Like Cannonball Blitz()
Super Mario World
Super Mario World (known in Japan as Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4) is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on November 21, 1990 (in Japan), August 31, 1991 (in North America), and April 11, 1992 (in Europe).
One of the launch titles of the SNES (and bundled with early systems in North America), Super Mario World is the fifth main game in the Super Mario series. (starring Nintendo's mascot, Mario, and his brother, Luigi). The game follows both Mario brothers as they explore Dinosaur Land (known for its large amount of dinosaurs) to find and defeat the evil Koopa king Bowser (and his seven underlings, the Koopalings) while rescuing Princess Toadstool.
Along with new abilities (such as the "Spin Jump"), a new power-up (the "Cape Feather") and more obstacles, the game introduces dinosaur companions (known as Yoshi) that Mario and Luigi can ride. Yoshi, known for using their long tongues to snare and eat enemies, have become a fan-favorite among the series (giving them their own games and spin-offs, most notably this game's prequel).
Special bundles of the SNES in 1994 included a compilation cartridge mixing Super Mario World with Super Mario All-Stars. The only difference in this version is a new sprite set for Luigi. The original game was later ported to the Game Boy Advance on February 11, 2002 as Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. Along with a special version of the original Mario Bros., the port includes a variety of differences, including Luigi as a selectable character (who now has unique features, such as his floating jump from Super Mario Bros. 2), new voice acting, and the ability to save anywhere. The original game was also digitally re-released in Nintendo's Virtual Console platform for the Wii (on February 5, 2007) and Wii U (on April 26, 2013).

Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario Bros. 3 is a platform video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) video game console. Mario and Luigi embark on a quest to save Princess Toadstool and the rulers of seven different kingdoms from the antagonist Bowser and his children, the Koopalings. The player, as Mario or Luigi, is able to defeat enemies by stomping them or using items that bestow magical powers. Mario and Luigi are given a wider range of abilities than in previous Super Mario games, including flying or sliding down slopes. In addition, Super Mario Bros. 3 introduces numerous elements, such as new enemy characters and the use of a world map to transition between levels, that have reappeared in or have influenced subsequent Mario games.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island or simply Yoshi's Island, known in Japan as Super Mario: Yoshi Island (Japanese: スーパーマリオ ヨッシーアイランド Hepburn: Sūpā Mario: Yosshī Airando?), is a 1995 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Acting as a prequel to 1990's Super Mario World, the game casts players as Yoshi as he escorts Baby Mario through 48 levels in order to reunite him with his brother Luigi, who had been kidnapped by Baby Bowser's minions. As a Super Mario series platformer, Yoshi runs and jumps to reach the end of the level while solving puzzles and collecting items. In a style new to the series, the game has a hand-drawn aesthetic and is the first to have Yoshi as its main character. The game introduces his signature abilities to flutter jump, produce eggs from swallowed enemies, and transform into vehicles.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a third-person puzzle-platformer and action-adventure computer and video game published by Ubisoft. It was released on November 21, 2003 and is a reboot of the landmark video game series Prince of Persia, created by Jordan Mechner in 1989.
The Sands of Time, developed internally at Ubisoft Montreal, successfully captures the mechanics of the original platformer and extends it to the 3D generation. An earlier attempt by The Learning Company to transfer the game to 3D (Prince of Persia 3D) was released in 1999, but despite its initial good reception failed to sell enough and the company responsible for the original trilogy was already closing doors. The game was praised for its visual design, finely tuned game mechanics and intriguing storyline, winning the game several awards.
The game was developed for the PC, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, and later a 2D-version for the Game Boy Advance and mobile phones. The success of The Sands of Time led to three followups, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (2004), Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (2005), and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (2010). A remastered, high-definition, version of The Sands of Time was released on the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 on November 16, 2010.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Game Overview
The Brawl to end them all!
This action-packed fighting game features a ridiculous number of characters that have appeared on Nintendo platforms, from Mario to Link to Pikachu ... to Solid Snake! As they square off in famous locales drawn from the rich history of Nintendo, literally anything can happen - and usually does. With limitless customizing options, items and weapons that boggle the mind and a wealth of modes, this game has truly infinite replayability.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl features a sprawling adventure mode called "The Subspace Emissary" that's a full game in and of itself. Players jump and brawl their way through enemy-packed side-scrolling levels, meeting up with other characters, watching incredible cinematics and taking on massive bosses.
For the first time, this celebrated series is going Wi-Fi, allowing up to four players to brawl, no matter where they may be.
Welcome to a brawl for the ages, where anything can happen, anyone can show up and all bets are off.
Game storyline:
In multiplayer games, characters from all Nintendo universes meet up in Nintendo locales to duke it out. In the solo mode called "The Subspace Emissary," the world of Smash Bros. is invaded by an entity called the Ancient Minister and his army of creatures, called "The Primid." Normally, characters come alive in the world of Smash Bros. to do battle, then turn back into trophies when defeated. However, the Ancient Minister starts turning characters into trophies to harness their power, then detonates bombs that suck pieces of the world back into his realm of Subspace. Eventually, all the characters must work together to defeat the invading creatures from Subspace - this is accomplished by playing through side-scrolling levels.
How to progress through the game:
For multiplayer games, players pick characters, set rules and locations for where they want to play and then duke it out. In Solo Mode, characters play through a long, side-scrolling adventure, beating up enemies along the way as they watch short cinematics starring their favorite characters.
Mario, Samus, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Solid Snake, Meta Knight, Kirby, Pikachu, Zero Suit Samus, Link, Zelda, Pit and Wario, to name just a few. Anyone and anything from a Nintendo universe could appear in this game in one form or another.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features:
Anything from a Nintendo game could conceivably be in this game, whether it's a musical score, an obscure item or a character that shows up to help the fighters. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is eminently customizable, so players can choose the frequency of items appearing, adjust musical scores and basically play the game however they'd like. Items range from baseball bats to proximity mines to Poké Balls to Assist Trophies, which spawn characters like Hammer Bros. and Sim City's Dr. Wright to attack others.

Topic: Difference in years
I have each users birthday. Need to display how old they are in years. Anyone got a code sample?
This is an archive from Rails Forum. Check out the new community here!
A forum for Ruby on Rails users
Pages 1
I have each users birthday. Need to display how old they are in years. Anyone got a code sample?
Try this:
(Time.now - birthday.to_time)/1.year
Perfect. Thanks so much. How do I round to a whole number?
((Time.now - birthday.to_time)/1.year).round
You can also use floor/ceil.
You should be on the payroll. Thanks man.
So last issue is accurately calculating the users age. Right now it's off by 1 if the users birthday has already passed in the current year.
In that case I'll need to subtract 1. So to do that I need to compare the month/day portion of their birthday to the current date. As in:
unless (month/day part of birthday) > (month/day part of now)
subtract 1
Feel like wasting any more of your time on a newb to show me how you'd do that?
This is actually the last issue I need to smooth out before I'm going to open the site to a few friends to test :-)
Have you tried floor? This will round down:
((Time.now - birthday.to_time)/1.year).floor
I wasn't aware of floor so no...I didn't try it.
Just did now...perfect and done. Still plenty of work to do, but I'm far enough along that I'm going to let people start playing with the site.
Love to get your feedback, but be gentle...my first ROR site...and the CSS needs some...originality. It's a shameless, borrow/steal/copy job for now :-)
Looks great! Feels very fast too, what host are you using?
BTW, if you needed to calculate the birthday to see if someone was old enough, try this:
if birthday.to_time > 13.years.ago
# too young
Hosting with TextDrive and I have no idea what I'm doing :-)
My other site is all ColdFusion and Fusebox: http://www.checkpointzero.com
I went to a ROR bootcamp a couple months ago and built most of RaceBucket in class. Been tinkering since. Signed up for TextDrive and spent the last few weeks figuring out how to get the site running on lighttpd without getting killed by their watchdog script due to memory leaks. Doing pretty good lately though with no load at all.
Just sent an email to about 25 folks to register and click around. We'll see how it holds up. Still need to do some work around form validation.

Apple, Tesla Completely Embarrass Microsoft
Livid if they're not accomplice to the company's active and ongoing implosion. Ashamed if they have mailed it in over the last five years.
You're misleading yourself if you cannot see the writing on the wall. Get ahead of the curve on this one: Microsoft is the next Research in Motion (RIMM) .
Swallow the numbers . Choke on them. Digest them. Act accordingly.
I had an experience this past Friday that I guess I have had before, but, for some reason, it never resonated with me like it did this time.
After I landed in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, TheStreet contributor Robert Weinstein , who I visited in the Northwoods of Wisconsin for a mini vacation , took me to the famous Mall of America .
We visited the Apple (AAPL) Store, which, not surprisingly, sits right across the way from the Microsoft Store. You can see the reflection of the Windows logo in the window of the Apple Store.
How painfully depressing.
I'm not sure who was in that part of the mall first. And it really doesn't matter. Retail in the same category clusters all of the time for various reasons.
There's the notion of clustering.
And there's the competitive nature of the game. Apple opened a store in Waterloo, Ontario. Good market, yes, but Steve Jobs wanted to pour salt in RIM's wounds by erecting a symbol of Apple dominance in the land of BlackBerries and failed attempts to secure an NHL franchise.
I would commend Microsoft for opening up next door or across from every Apple Store in the world if the company had just a shred of pride left.
Maybe if Microsoft rolled more like Tesla Motors (TSLA) .
When I Tweeted my displeasure with Microsoft's retail strategy -- opening Apple copycats, sometimes in close proximity to Apple Stores -- my feed went ablaze with people claiming I was making a big deal out of nothing.
I wasn't. Hear me out. You can't make a big enough deal over the travesty Microsoft contributes to in the tech space.
It's what amounts to plagiarism vs. using somebody else's work as a source of inspiration.
Tesla does the latter, Microsoft the former with respect to the Apple retail concept.
Walk into a Tesla store. You see something modeled after an Apple Store, however, you never feel like you're seeing a copycat, such as the types Steve Jobs chided at one of his last product launch presentations for Apple.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (88 votes).
In short: Superb organisation and race.Date of review: October 2, 2011
In short: Excellent well organised raceIn full: Been coming to Mablethorpe on family holidays for years so I thought I'd enter the half. Absolutely brilliant day - superb organisation, friendly encouraging marshalls, bottled water at drinks stations, tech t-shirt at finish. Loads of people out supporting runners all round the course but especially on last mile on seafront. Loved it - definately back next year (maybe for the full). If you're looking for your first half or full marathon, I would recommend this. Date of review: October 2, 2011
In short: Well worth attending,very hot day, not normal for time of year, the marshals were good but at mile 8 we really did get good support from a group of very enthusiastic people who really did give us a good cheer, this was very welcome on the second lap In full: A good day even though the day was very hot, around 28c, one or two issues of cars going to quick on some of the back roads, i think the marshals could have slowed them down,support was good especially around mile 8 for the half and 21 for the marathon, a group of very enthusiastic supporters cheered us on, this was especially welcome if you were on the marathon as the heat was getting to us by then, a big thankyou to those people, just hope they are there next year with as much energy, just need a few more of these people on the back lanes as support was lacking until we got back into the town of Sutton then back to Mablethorpe to the finish. Well done to all involved. Date of review: October 2, 2011
In short: Glad to see the Mablethorpe Marathon Has returned!!In full: Was very glad to see the return of the Mablethorpe Marathon. I last took part in 2008 and found it to be great. This race was no different. I found the organisation to be as slick as previous and the Marshallers were all super friendly as always. The highlight for me was 'smashing' my PB and coming in under the four hour mark!!! This year I will aim to bring it down again. Well done to all involved and here's looking forward to 2011!!Date of review: March 15, 2011
In short: Nice flat route but the wind was a challenge this year.Date of review: October 19, 2010
In short: Well organised with some very nice touchesIn full: Despite the weather another very well organised and marshalled event. Drink stations every 2 or 3 miles with 500ml bottled water with a couple having Gatorade in 500ml bottles too. The course was a little undulating in the middle section but nothing serious. Nice medal and t-shirt at the finish. Chip timing - chip time sent via SMS a little later. Has the potential to rub shoulders with the more popular, established events and still hold its own.Date of review: October 7, 2010
In short: Good Route, nice tshirt and medal, relaxed atmosphereIn full: Apart from a need for improvement at the water stations for the full marathon, i have no complaints - got a pb here. So happily do it again and again and stay in Mablethorpe for a little longer.Date of review: October 6, 2010
In short: Magnificent Mars Munching MablethorpeIn full: The only reason I run is so I can eat more chocolate, so to find a mars bar in the goody bag after 26 miles was the icing on the cake (chocolate of course).The organisation was first rate with lots of marshals giving great support. Nice finish with foil jacketty thing and nice medal and t-shirt.Like others I found the mile markers about 1/4 mile out - especially from about mile 9, but had a sneaky suspicion that it would be clawed back in the last mile or so. Mentioned this to another runner who insisted the markers were correct - I just guess we were using different satellites.Ran a PB so was delighted and will definitely be back next year with a few more miles under the belt.Date of review: October 6, 2010
In short: organisation excellent, wind and rain horribleIn full: Second time I have done this marathon and the second time I have got a PB. So the course is fast but somehow does not feel so. Perhaps because it undulates (730 m up and down) or perhaps because there are so many long straightish sections and I'm sure that the wind plays a part. Last time it was hot and windy and I remmber there being quite a few spectators this year it was wet and windy and hardly anyone was watching. The marshalls and guys at the drinks stations were special.Although the weather was foul they were all cheerful and encouraging and they had a kind word when you needed one.I really don't like the end. To have to run past the turn in for the half marathon feels so tough.However once over the line a foil was offered and put on me and a drink put in my hand. Getting the medal felt special as it was "presented" and a handshake and congratulations were offered. Nice t shirt (good to see that each race had a different colour) and a drink, mars bar and fruit.Only gripe. Why was there no hot water available in the showers!Date of review: October 6, 2010
In short: PB potentialIn full: Well organised event, well worth a visit. Date of review: October 5, 2010

We give classic Thanksgiving dishes a healthy makeover.
Thanksgiving dinner may be delicious, but it can leave you feeling as stuffed as the turkey you just ate. According to the Calorie Control Council, a typical Thanksgiving dinner weighs in at as much as 4500 calories and 229 grams of fat ��more than twice the recommended daily calorie intake! These lightened-up recipes have all the taste and flavor of Thanksgiving classics without all of the fat, so you can indulge without the bulge. Brought to you by: Spry Living

Topic: RESTful Admin Layout
I am usually the first to just use one layout for all my models, selectively hiding certain elements with before filters. This works well for most situations. Right now however, I am dealing with a unique problem, where the admin needs to have a completely different layout from the public side.
Organizationally speaking, what is the best way to accomplish this RESTfully? I was thinking of using an admin controller and nesting the other controllers below it but I'm not convinced that it's the cleanest solution.
I have about 10 different CRUD models and the public can only access the view and index actions.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'gluten free chocolate tart' tag.
Anything that's concerning chocolate, bigger is better. This is a naturally gluten-free recipe, one that is tender and light, just like eating a chocolate flavored cloud, almost.
Gluten-free baking can seem frustrating and sometimes downright disappointing to us for those who want to experiment or need to make gluten-free treats. This recipe and many like it, is one recipe that has no gluten counterpart. It's across the board favorite in restaurants and cafes just about anywhere, but it is rather easy to make this at home.
To take this tart one step further, you can add a chocolate glaze over the top and even sprinkle some toasted almonds as well. I would replace the vanilla in this recipe and put in some almond flavoring to carry the visual appeal to the taste of this tart. Is this then called a torte? Maybe, but it will still be delicious.
Flourless Chocolate Tart Recipe
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granular sugar
10 Tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
12 ounces quality bittersweet chocolate, cut into pieces
6 large eggs, separated
1 ½ Tablespoons coffee extract
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon sea salt
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Prepare a 10"x2" cake pan by coating the bottom and sides with butter and lining the bottom with parchment.
1. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over gently simmering water. Remove from heat and set aside to cool a bit.
2. Whip sugars and butter together until pale and fluffy 3-5 minutes.
3. While whipping, add one egg yolk at a time and incorporate thoroughly.
4. Beat in melted chocolate just to combine.
5. Add coffee and vanilla extracts and sea salt, set aside.
6. In a clean mixing bowl, whip the egg white just to soft peaks.
7. Fold half of the egg whites into the chocolate batter.
8. Repeat with the remaining whites.
9. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes. The tart will be dome when a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the top springs back when pressed.
Cool tart for approximately 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Allow tart to come to room temperature before serving.
Serves 8.

Aurora Secures DARPA X-Plane Contract
Source: Aurora Flight Sciences
Aurora's innovative VTOL X-Plane, known as LightningStrike, is designed for efficient hover and high speed, meeting the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)'s goals for performance and useful load capacity. LightningStrike leverages Aurora's flight proven VTOL technology and achieves high overall efficiency by tightly integrating propulsion into the air vehicle's aerodynamic design. Aurora has been a pioneer in ducted-fan and hybrid-propulsion aircraft. The GoldenEye 100 was developed under a DARPA SBIR award in 2001-2005. Aurora developed the GoldenEye 80 under the DARPA Organic Air Vehicle (OAV-2) program. Aurora developed the Excalibur UAV proof-of-concept for the U.S. Army between 2005 and 2010. Excalibur combined hybrid-electric propulsion in a design providing vertical takeoff and landing with high-speed horizontal flight.

Mortality and global health estimates
Causes of death: Ischaemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive lung disease and lower respiratory infections have remained the top killers during the past decade. Chronic diseases cause increasing numbers of deaths worldwide. Diabetes caused 1.5 million (2.7%) deaths in 2012, up from 1.0 million (2.0%) deaths in 2000. Lung cancers (along with trachea and bronchus cancers) went up to become the 5th leading cause of death in 2012, killing 1.1 million men and 0.5 million women in 2012. Injuries continue to kill 5 million people each year. Road traffic injuries claimed about 3400 lives each day in 2012, about three-quarters of whom were men and boys.

WHEREAS, utility bills represent a major part of operating costs for home and business owners; and
WHEREAS, the building sector accounts for 39 percent of the nation's energy use, 72 percent of its electricity use, one third of all global greenhouse gas emissions and represents the single largest, most accessible opportunity for deep emission cuts in the United States; and
WHEREAS, investing in cost-effective energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements to homes and businesses can save energy, cut utility bills up to $140 billion per year, create thousands of local jobs, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and
WHEREAS, Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing programs are an innovative local government solution to help property owners finance energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements – such as energy efficient boilers, upgraded insulation, new windows, solar installations, etc. – to their homes and businesses; and
WHEREAS, the PACE program removes many of the barriers of energy efficiency and renewable energy retrofits that otherwise exist for residential homeowners and businesses, particularly the high upfront cost of making such an investment and the long-term ability to reap the benefits of cost savings; and
WHEREAS, 28 states plus the District of Columbia have provided local governments with the authority to develop PACE programs; and
WHEREAS, dozens of local governments throughout the country have already launched or are in the process of launching PACE programs to fund energy improvements on commercial buildings; and
WHEREAS, locally-administered PACE programs are an exercise of the traditional authority of local governments to utilize the tax code for public benefit; and
WHEREAS, PACE programs help local governments meet a core obligation to their citizens to maintain housing stock and improve housing opportunities for all citizens; and
WHEREAS, the PACE program is an achievement of the intergovernmental partnership to realize national policy goals, namely, reducing energy consumption, that will positively impact the fiscal conditions of every level of government; and
WHEREAS, despite PACE's great promise, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on July 6, 2010 issued statements that immediately forced existing residential PACE programs to halt operations and froze the development of dozens of PACE programs nationwide; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. District Court in Oakland, California on January 20, 2012 ruled that FHFA's actions improperly bypassed the rulemaking process and ordered the agency to undertake a formal rulemaking process; and
WHEREAS, FHFA has closed comments on the rulemaking process but has not yet promulgated a new rule on this issue,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that The U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) urges Congress to adopt legislation that clearly reaffirms the right of state and local governments to exercise liens or assess special taxes or other property obligations to protect and improve housing stock for the public good, including energy efficiency improvements, by directing federal regulators to enforce underwriting standards that are consistent with guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Energy for PACE financing programs or by implementing any other appropriate measure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that The U.S. Conference of Mayors encourages mayors to consider implementing commercial PACE programs, which are unaffected by FHFA's actions and provide owners of commercial buildings with a new tool for financing energy efficiency improvements and realizing substantial energy savings.

Heading for 100 % renewable urban transport: Policy recommendations
Date: unknown
Creator: Gust, Iris & Meusel, Titus
Description: The brochure promotes urban transportation policy to increase the use of renewable energy to 100%. Seen globally, transport is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Yet fossil fuels are becoming scarce, will become increasingly expensive and will eventually stop being viable as transport fuels. Before this happens, climate change will have begun to have a serious impact on human lives. The authors believe that it is crucial to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy as soon as possible, especially in the transport sector. Making urban transport independent of fossil fuel is a great challenge, but the authors cite growing evidence that it can be achieved.

Peggy Gyulai in her studio with Orchestra. Image courtesy of the artist
This event is expired.
The Art of Painting Music: Allegro (ma non troppo)
Wednesdays–Sundays, 1–5 pm, plus Fridays 6–8:45 pm
Peggy Gyulai's work explores the connections between music and the expressive possibilities of paint on canvas. The artist listens to and looks at music as a subject, object, and inspiration; and like Richard Diebenkorn, she invokes the dynamic tension between the poles of abstraction and representation, creating substance from the most ephemeral phenomena.
During her de Young residency, Gyulai will paint large canvases that fuse motion and emotion with sweeping rhythms and seductive color harmonies. Classical, jazz, and contemporary music will each play a role during five different themed weeks, focusing on everything from well-known classics to a new work for electroacoustic chamber ensembles composed by violinist Gloria Justen (a world-premiere performance). Musical miniatures in the classical tradition of the étude will also serve as inspiration for a series of small paintings. Sunday afternoons are "The Swing Shift," featuring the sounds of classic Big Band dance music.
Visitors will learn about how Gyulai works, including her methods for listening actively to a piece of music in order to understand and express some of its essence in a painting, and can try their hand at creating their own music-inspired artwork.
Week One: Reflections: Debussy, Bill Evans, and Satie
Week Two: Night: Stella, Whitacre, Adams, and Chopin
Week Three: Bartok and Justen I
Week Four: Bartok and Justen II
Week Five: Orchestra: Elgar and Debussy
Gyulai's studio is located in the Mission District of San Francisco. She has collaborated with major orchestras including the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra, and the Music Institute of Chicago. Her paintings and commissioned works are held in more than 84 private and corporate collections in the US and Europe. She has had many solo exhibitions and was previously artist-in-residence at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. www.peggygyulai.com.
Friday, August 23, 6–8:45 pm | Artist Reception
Celebrate Peggy Gyulai's residency with light refreshments in the Kimball Education Gallery.

Mayville Village Board Overrides 2 Percent Tax Cap
MAYVILLE – The village of Mayville has become the most recent municipality to override the 2 percent state property tax cap.
"We don't need it," said Mayor Martin Bova. "However, the scary part for me is that we just don't know exactly how the state, if they were to come down here and look at our numbers, will interpret our (budget). Right now, we're $24,000 under the cap, so there's really no reason to do it other than the event that we are audited and the auditor found something they interpreted differently. We're doing this at the advice of the state conference of mayors. We have no intention of even raising taxes – they're going to stay the same as they have been for the past few years."
Prior to the village meeting, a public comment session was held so residents could voice their opinions about the potential override. However nothing was said during the public session that discouraged the board to vote for the override.
Before presenting the first local law for the village of Mayville in 2013, Bova offered some more insight into why the village would be voting on the proposed law.
"Interestingly enough, this is the only local law you need to vote on every single year," said Bova. "When you pass a local law, it's a local law. Once it's filed with the state, it's in the books and it's a law. This is the only local law you have to pass every single year if you want to prevent yourself from having an issue with that 2 percent."
The board unanimously voted to override the tax cap, and there was no public comment about the decision when offered following the vote.

Nintendo has officially confirmed plans to release a successor for its successful Wii home game console in 2012 and demonstrate it for the first time at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo show in June.
"Nintendo has decided to launch in 2012 a system to succeed Wii, which the company has sold 86.01 million units on a consolidated shipment basis between its launch in 2006 and the end of March 2011. We will show a playable model of the new system and announce more specifications at the E3 Expo, which will be held June 7-9, 2011, in Los Angeles. Sales of this new system have not been included in the financial forecasts announced today for the fiscal term ending March 2012," the official statement from Nintendo reads.
Earlier it was reported that the next-generation console from Nintendo is internally called "Cafe" and architecturally resembles Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360, but sports higher amount of compute power. Nintendo Cafe is based on custom triple-core IBM Power microprocessor and features ATI R700-like (Evergreen) custom graphics engine. The system will have 512MB or higher amount of memory.
The specifications are likely to be very preliminary and exact levels of performance are unknown. Still, DirectX 11-like graphics capabilities seem to be up-to-date, but in 2012 will rather be outdated. Nonetheless, specifically tailored games running on a triple-core processors and with DirectX 11-class graphics at even 720p resolutions should look significantly better than present.
The choice of architecture is rather logical as Nintendo will need to ensure that its new console will not only be able to play popular high-definition cross-platform games that are already available, but will also be quickly adopted by game-developers currently designing games due in 2012 and later.
The console will also feature a rather innovative game controller, which will feature a large touch-screen as well as traditional gamepad controls, according to reports not confirmed by Nintendo.

What we love: Early starts. Sometimes it's nice to go to a concert and be home in time for "The Daily Show." With shows here starting at 7:30 p.m. and rarely running much past 10, even people who live in the Maryland suburbs won't need to call in late to work the next day.
What we don't: Eating during a show. There's a legend onstage. Maybe Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris or B.B. King. Audience members watch in awe as musical royalty performs just a few feet away then pause to chomp on their chicken fingers. We understand that the Birchmere is a sit-down dinner place, but something just doesn't feel right about eating Applebee's-style food while taking in a show.
--David Malitz, Sept. 16, 2011
You will listen! Of course, it's never that stern, but folks who come to the Birchmere know it as the best listening club in America; and artists love the venue's excellent sound system and artist-focused ambiance. This ain't no disco, and it's no nightclub. It's a concert hall where you can eat and drink -- and listen.
From Mount Vernon Avenue, the Birchmere doesn't look particularly imposing: a nondescript industrial building. Only the great names on the marquee at the entrance to its parking lot suggest the sonic feast inside. The club offers acoustic folk, jazz, rock, country and bluegrass artists for a musically fluent audience. Most of the offerings are in the Music Hall, but some, particularly dance-oriented shows, are in the Bandstand, which can hold as many as 1,000 people. The dinner-theater-style Music Hall, which seats 500, has a decidedly down-home, populist feel, and every table offers a clear view of the stage with no standing room and no dancing.
Who goes? From college kids to longtime fans who've gracefully aged with the artists they've loved for years.
What to eat and drink? The bar and kitchen open for business at 6, offering standard American fare: burgers, seafood, dinner salads, etc. Waiters serve food and beverages throughout the show -- quietly, of course.
Tickets: From $20 to $45; rare shows approach $100. At the Birchmere box office (with a $3.50 service charge per ticket) and through Ticketmaster (with a higher charges).
Getting there: There's free parking in a lighted, secure lot next to the club, with overflow parking across the street.
Here's a tip: The Birchmere is general admission, with first-come, first-served seating. The box office opens at 5, and seating begins at 6, with shows generally starting at 7:30 (you'll almost always be out by 10). Make use of the deli-style system: From 5 to 6, you get seating numbers that will be called sequentially starting at 6. So you don't miss any of the performance wherever you are, the sound is piped through speakers in the bathrooms and in the lobby, where you can sometimes catch the action via a video monitor.

Previous Green Country HamFests
The previous Green Country Hamfests were as much fun to put on as many of the people
who attended said it was to attend. Many mentioned to us that they found that really hard
to find item they've been trying to find for some time. Others said that they bought
a new radio because they could actually get to talk to someone that really
knew something about it.
Here are some photos that show some of the past Green Country Hamfests. Hope one
brings back a fond memory of your last visit!

Santa Says Simon Has Been Very, Very Good This Year
Simon has a market cap of around $48.8 billion and the company owns, develops and manages more than 590 retail properties (malls, shopping centers, and outlet centers) in North America, Europe, and Asia. With assets over $31 billion, Simon leases spaces to many "best in class" retailers such as Gap(GPS) , Limited Brands (LTD) , Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) , Foot Locker (FL) , Forever 21 , Ann Inc. (ANN) , JC Penney (JCP) and Macy's.
Weighing down Santa's sleigh this year is Simon's robust funds from operations performance of $1.99 per share, up 16.4% from the third quarter of 2011. Year-to-date, Simon's FFO was almost $2.1 billion or $5.70 per share, up 14.7% over 2011.
Driving the international growth for Simon is the construction of five new Premium Outlet Centers, all scheduled to open in 2013. Two are in the U.S.: Chandler, Ariz., a suburb of Phoenix; and Chesterfield, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis. One is in Toronto, Canada. Another is in Japan and the fifth is in Busan, Korea. Simon's share of the development costs of these assets is expected to be approximately $325 million.
Santa will need to back up the bus (instead of the sleigh) to load up the Simon dividends. Recently the company announced the fifth consecutive increase in quarterly dividends from $1.05 to $1.10. The total dividend paid in 2012 is $4.10 as compared to $3.50 per share paid in 2011. That represents an increase of 17.1%.
In this year alone, Simon has increased its dividend by 5 cents a share in all four quarters and Simon's dividend is now 22.2% higher than it was immediately prior to the great recession. This is the highest increase among Simon's retail REIT peers, the second-highest among all S&P 500 REITs behind Public Storage (PSA) . Current dividend levels for many REITs remain well below their 2008 levels.
Simon's 2012 FFO is expected to be at least 21% higher than the company's 2008 FFO immediately prior to the Great Recession. And this is significantly higher percentage than any of Simon's retail REIT peers.
Simon's stock price is currently trading at $157.80 per share, just 4% below the all-time high of $164.17 per share. In addition, Simon's stock price has climbed over 22% this year, outpacing the S&P 500's 14% rise. Simon's year-to-date total return is 25.79%, much stronger than the S&P 500 total return performance of 16.28%.

There's a deeply rooted perception in the U.S. that the economy will suffer little damage from climate change.Washington," Hanemann says.
Top economists surveyed say climate change is a clear threat to America and the global economy.warming would be huge — up to a 20 percent drop per year in the world's GDP by 2050. The widely disparate conclusion compared to Nordhaus', however, turned largely on one single factor: Stern put a higher value on costs far out in the future — and on the future return from climate change reduction investments made today — than Nordhaus did. Or in economists' jargon, he used a lower discount rate. "You can change the discount rate and get a totally different answer," explains NRDC's Lashof.
'The damages grow much worse as we get more extreme events,' says one economist.power. So the overall costs must be higher. Similarly, damages to agriculture from heat waves and droughts are likely to swamp benefits from milder winters and longer growing seasons — and moving crops to better climes may be costly or difficult. Nordhaus partly agrees. "The damages will differ by crop and by region," he says. "I think the numbers will be large for some regions, such as those now bordering on desertification."
The costs of a catastrophic event would be so enormous that it would overwhelm the analysis.from climate change only in terms of economic activity. They don't assess damages from non-market effects like loss of species. Take ocean acidification, which makes climate change more worrisome than it appeared to be in the 1990s, Nordhaus says. The direct economic damages from acidification are negligible. "We know the actual economic impacts are almost sure to be small because they involve fisheries, which are already pretty small, and they involve only ocean fisheries that are sensitive to carbon," Nordhaus says.

The 2nd pick is seemingly impossible. However by process of elimination I have narrowed it down a very tiny bit.
Chinese greens, Taiwanese teas (glad you lumped all these together!), Chinese oolong, Korean teas. I think Pu-erh fell off the list, sad to say.
So, I am undecided having included just about every true tea on your list of options.
Hey, where is Darjeeling and similar?
I will have to think more about this, but I am not sure I will ever get it down to two teas. And if I did, the 2 teas would change constantly.

I took 3 kids aged 7 to 14. It was interesting. I wouldn't take a child less than 7 because some of the stuff is gruesome (including the mideaval display at the beginning). Lots of interesting '30s-'40s gangster era items and history. The current day CSI type stuff is on the second floor (you start on the 3rd floor). America's Most Wanted stuff is on the 1st floor (actually basement).

So I haven't had a pet since I left my moms house. I grew up with multiple cats, dogs, fish, a bird, and a snake for a time. Ironically I am allergic to pet dander. I would have loved a cat but both my allergy and appartment would not handle it as much.
I am considering getting a Lizard, more specifically a green (forest) iguana. I know they get big but I have the space right now (if the main people let me have it). Reading up on the care and requirements.
I know a lot of people have pets here so I thought it be an interesting discussion topic. Tell us what pets do you have and a little about them!

This one is for Mike. ;-)
What is one food that you absolutely, completely, totally, and utterly cannot stand? Answer in haiku, please!
*** Edited to add – you guys are such good sports! These ROCK!
If you had asked me a week ago, the answer would be "none."
Since you're asking me now, the answer is "anchovies."
Eyes burn, stomach knots,
Just a whiff from the farm stand:
Yikes! It's cilantro!
Delicate pink curls
With too many little legs –
Shrimp make me shudder.
Mushy, gelatinous green little cabbage
bitter till the end is the sad
Brussels sprout
Jules stole my idea
Coconut is never good
Banned from my household
pretty lacy green
appearance masks vile flavor
of herbaceous dill
mushrooms ewe so dirty
look like elf houses
but edible on burgers
To prepare-fast or purge
Makes no difference to me-as for dinner
Escargot is not to be.
Not worth even a haiku: CHOCOLATE.
:( You really hate it THAT bad? Have you tried any lately? ;)
Onions make me cry
more than just from chopping
They are icky!
Never in a sandwich with jelly
not even a Reese's Cup
I passionately hate peanut butter
:( Wow, the things we learn about each other. PB is one of my staples in life. ;)
Green glowing devil
Burning my tongue and mouth out
Wasabi is gross
summertime melon
the fragrant canteloupe is
but the taste, phew, phew

Santa Maria Tri-Tip
- 2 tablespoons granulated garlic
- 1/3 cup fresh cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons Achiote Oil, recipe follows
- 1 (3 to 4-pound) prime tri-tip roast
- Achiote Oil:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons achiote seeds
- 1/2 cup canola oil
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Combine the granulated garlic and pepper in a small bowl and set aside. Mince the garlic and slowly incorporate the salt and sugar, alternating, to create a paste. Add the Achiote Oil and mix well. Be careful, this oil will stain.
Rinse and pat dry the roast and rub with the garlic paste, evenly coating the meat. Sprinkle evenly with the granulated garlic and pepper mixture and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
Remove the wrap and allow the roast to rest while you preheat a well-oiled grill to medium-high heat. Add the roast and cook for 9 minutes, turn, repeat and check the temperature. Once 90 degrees F is achieved, turn the middle burner to high and sear all sides of the roast. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foil.
Slice across the grain in thin (1/8-inch) pieces, drizzle any juices that have accumulated back onto the sliced meat and serve immediately.
Cook's Note: serve with either a cabernet sauvignon or lager beer.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the seeds and toast for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the oil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. The oil will become bright orange. Immediately remove from the heat, cool and strain. Store the oil in a glass container in the refrigerator. The oil will keep for several months. Yield: 1/2 cup

Neal Kumar 2007
University of London Kings College LLM in International Business Law 2008
Neal Kumar, an attorney with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in Washington, D.C., traces his interest in international business law to the William C. Vis Moot Court Competition he participated in while a 3L at Pace Law School.
"The Vis Moot Court competition really opened my eyes to opportunities in international law, not only from studying the substantive issues, but also because I had the opportunity to interact with law students from all over the world," said Mr. Kumar.
Mr. Kumar credits the Vis team's coach, Pace Law Professor Linda Wayner, whose international business law class focused heavily on practical business law issues rather than legal theory, with reinforcing his desire to pursue a master's beyond his law degree.
For this, he traveled abroad to the University of London King's College, where he studied international finance and the use of derivative products, an area of law where he was able to use the skills he learned at Pace Law.
After returning to the U.S. in 2008 to write his thesis, Mr. Kumar took an internship with the Office of the General Counsel at the CFTC in Washington, D.C. Shortly after the internship, and having earned his LLM degree, he was offered a full-time position at the CFTC as an attorney representing the agency at the Office of the General Counsel.
Today, Mr. Kumar's work at the CFTC includes providing legal guidance on domestic and international regulatory matters as well as various industry developments, advising the Commission on procedural laws that govern the agency, and assisting in the development of regulatory policy.
"Pace Law offered me the opportunity to stretch my interests to areas I would not have predicted when I first started law school. I did not, and could not have pictured myself at a financial regulating agency when I started, and the fact that I am immersed in the mission of the CFTC is a credit to the diversity of Pace Law," said Mr. Kumar. "For prospective students, I would invite you to keep an open mind and challenge your interests beyond your comfort zone; you may find yourself fascinated in an area of law you least expect."

Promoting the thoughtful use of artificial light at night
The dark-sky movement is a collection of worldwide efforts aimed at minimizing the impact of artificial light at night. No single organization heads it. �It�s an effort to think in terms of light that�s really needed,� says Scott Kardel, managing director of International Dark-Skies Association (IDA), a Tucson, Arizona-based organization founded in 1988 to promote the thoughtful use of light at night. Learn how you can get involved in the dark-sky movement here. According to the association, two-thirds of the world�s population lives where they cannot adequately view a starry sky due to excessive, misdirected or obtrusive artificial light. Such �light pollution� is outpacing population growth by 4 percent as developing nations embrace electricity. And in the United States, unnecessary lighting at night wastes an estimated $2.2 billion annually. Still, the world is only beginning to understand the effects on its people, planet and resources. In 2012, the American Medical Association reported that widespread use of artificial light causes a constant disruption of circadian biological rhythms on the average American. Studies have found correlations between circadian disruptions and increases in breast cancer, mood disorders, diabetes and obesity. Excessive artificial light at night also puts wildlife at risk. The natural length of night regulates animals� migration, mating, sleeping and food foraging patterns. Several studies have proven the harmful effects of artificial lights at night on sea turtles, bats and songbirds. In North America alone, more than 100 million birds die annually in collisions with lighted towers and buildings. �People aren�t just concerned about the night sky and energy use, but also about its effects on human health and the environment,� Kardel says. Concerted efforts to minimize excessive light at night began during the early 1970s, spearheaded by amateur astronomy clubs. �In the 1960s, most people could just set up a telescope in their backyards,� says Sean O�Brien, astronomer with the Albert Einstein Planetarium in Washington, D.C. �But by the �70s, because of light pollution, amateur astronomers now had to travel from their homes in the suburbs in order to obtain quality night skies.� Governmental bodies began listening to the concerns of stargazers. �Tucson passed one of the nation�s first lighting ordinances in 1972, and since then thousands of cities have followed,� Kardel says. Nineteen states have joined in the movement by passing laws related to the use of lighting. Brought to you by: American Profile
