2009 Rockstar answers more of your questions
GTAGaming.com - Rockstar/Take2 News | @ 01:34 PM MDT | By Ash_735
Once again Rockstar Games is answering fan questions on the News Wire, and, of course, a bulk of the questions are related to the Grand Theft Auto series, so here they are:
"Is Omid Djalili the voice behind this guy? It really seems like him." - Luke874
Good ears. Yes, British comedian Omid Djalili is the voice of Yusuf Amir in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
"Are there going to be tokens available to buy at retail for The Ballad of Gay Tony, similar to The Lost and Damned?" - received via Twitter
The Ballad of Gay Tony will only be available at retail locations as a part of the Episodes from Liberty City disc. However, it will still be available as a download on Xbox® LIVE.
"Hi Rockstar! I was wondering if you ever published a Grand Theft Auto for iPhone/iPod touch?" – gabrypecio
Actually, Grand Theft Auto is making its debut for the iPhone/iPod touch this fall. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, one of the highest rated handheld games of all time, will be appearing on the platform. Stay tuned for more info and media on it in the weeks ahead.
"I'd like to know the whole story behind Donald Love. What was in the package? And why did he run away with the Asian guy? I always assumed it was human flesh or something, lol, because he's a necrophiliac and all." - 129514
No one is quite sure what happened to Donald Love. He certainly crossed a few boundaries and was trying to find a way back to normality. Whether or not he managed this, and what happened to the elderly Asian gentleman are matters we cannot speculate on.
It appears Rockstar will continue answering fan questions so get in touch with them and hopefully they'll (vaguely) answer your questions too!

Preserving fertility in boys and teens with cancer
Parents of children diagnosed with cancer face many difficult issues in a time of severe emotional distress. They are often so focused on their child's treatment and survival that it's hard to think beyond the present. But about 4 out of 5 children treated for cancer live a long time, and infertility can become an issue for survivors when they reach young adulthood.
Talk with your son's doctor about the risk of infertility with the specific cancer treatment he will get. Sometimes, cancer treatment can cause complete infertility.
Talking to a child or teen about fertility
Not only should the oncology team discuss fertility with the parents, but it should also be mentioned to the child as soon as he is old enough to understand. If he is not old enough to discuss fertility while he's being treated for cancer, parents may need to tell him about it around the time that puberty begins. A follow-up visit at the oncology clinic is often a good time to bring up the topic.
Given the chance, many parents will want to save their child's fertility. If the child is old enough to understand fertility when he's being treated, he should be asked if he agrees to the treatment. Even though he's not able to give full legal consent because of his age, a child who can understand must generally agree (this is called assent) before a procedure can be done. The parents also must give consent before the procedure, after being told the risks, complications, and success and failure rates.
Options before puberty
Although it's being studied, at this time there are no options that are proven to preserve fertility in children who haven't gone through puberty. Studies have found that testicular volume, not age or reproductive hormone levels, is the best way to know if a boy is able to make sperm. It's been suggested that all boys with testicular volumes of more than 5 ml should be offered semen banking before cancer treatment – this may be something you want to talk to your son's doctor about.
Testicular tissue freezing (testicular cryopreservation) has been used in young children, but to date there are no reports of successfully putting the tissue back into the testicle after treatment or of fathering a child as a result.
You might want to check into experimental options to find out more. When you see a fertility doctor, ask about any clinical trials that are going on. Depending on where you are, you may have to travel to a larger city or a research center if you'd like to have the option of a research facility.
Options after puberty
Preserving sperm
When boys go through puberty, they begin to make mature sperm. Most boys have some sperm in their semen by about age 13. If a boy has already gone through puberty, sperm banking is a good option, since the frozen samples are not damaged by long periods of storage.
But both emotional and physical maturity must be considered. Young teens often feel very anxious about masturbating to produce a semen sample, especially if they must talk about it with their parents or have not done it before. Some teens may have an easier time if they are given a vibrator to use in the collection room. Electro-ejaculation or epididymal sperm aspiration has also been used. See "Electro-ejaculation" and "Testicular sperm extraction and epididymal sperm aspiration" in Preserving fertility in men with cancer for more information.
Puberty and beyond
Even with no special measures to preserve fertility, many boys have normal puberty after cancer treatment and are able to have children naturally. After puberty starts, a doctor can check your son's semen to see if he is making sperm. Even if he does not produce normal amounts of sperm, your son may be able to have sperm removed surgically to fertilize an egg.

READ: Last Words: Boston Phoenix closes today after 47 years. By Editor in Chief Carly Carioli.
The following statement from Phoenix publisher Stephen M. Mindich was circulated to staffers earlier today:
can state with certainty that this is the single most difficult communication
I've ever had to deliver and there's no other way to state it than
straightforwardly -
We were notified at 2 pm today
that the issue of the Boston Phoenix on stands today is the last one we will
ever publish.
The timing comes as a shock, but the news isn't a surprise.
We're less than a year into an experiment launched last fall to turn a 46 year
old alternative weekly newspaper into a weekly magazine. By every measure not
related to advertising sales, it has been a success.
Welcome to "Meet the Mayor," a segment in which we interview local Foursquare Mayors in
their natural habitats.
Square House of PizzaKurt Villon
If the Irish had
invented pizza, what would be on it?I think you'd have to go with potatoes. . . .
Maybe corned beef and potatoes. I don't know if cabbage would go well on pizza, but corned beef and mashed potatoes would
actually be kind of delicious.
Irish-born Bostonian Kieran McWilliam still remembers
his very first Guinness at Reddy's in Carlow - his preferred stomping ground on
the old sod. Clearly, it made an impact: for more than 20 years, McWilliam has
been behind the bar at Brighton's Irish
Village, pulling perfect
pints of the lauded stout. With St.
On the eve of the Oscars,
a crowd of actors, models, casting directors, talent scouts, and other local
film and stage peeps gathered in the swanky bar at Newton's Hotel Indigo for a
networking party presented by NE Actor and Model Club Inc. At a soiree packed
to the gills with people who make their living standing out, we feared it might
be hard to pick just one star of the show.

Former Pulitzer Prize winning Boston Globe staffer Gerard O'Neill could pass as a prosecutor,
right off the set of, say, Law and Order. O'Neill is polite, almost soft
spoken, but there is a hint of a killer instinct lurking beneath the poised
exterior coiled to jump -- perhaps just for the fun of it.
Shelley Murphy and Kevin Cullen cut their teeth at
the Boston Herald before they were hired by the Boston Globe. As a result, they
have a touch more edge than some of their colleagues at Morrissey Boulevard. And -- interesting enough -- a touch more
charm. Their book, Whitey Bulger: America's
Most Wanted Gangster and the Manhunt that Brought him to Justice, has hit the New York Times Best Seller List.
Karaoke at Courtside
We've all had that conversation. "What do you want to do?"
"I don't know, what do you want to do?" and so forth. Eventually, the group
agrees that all of the usual haunts have grown tiresome and someone boldly
suggests karaoke. Whether you're that guy who thinks they can
sing because they got a lead in a middle school production of The Music Man, or you're just looking to
get drunk enough to belt out some old school jams at a karaoke spot that doesn't
completely suck ass, we promise you'll actually have fun at any of these nominees for Best Karaoke Spot
showcased all throughout the Town Hall Tea Party Era a few years ago,
Massachusetts is hardly immune to right-wing buffoonery. Our crackers
are every bit as clueless as flag-waving imbeciles elsewhere; as for
elected officials, until recently we had a Republican in Washington
who tossed Wall Street's salad in the Senate steam room every chance
he got.
Terrorism, war, global recessions, and The Jersey Shore - we
don't have to tell you the 21st century sucks. Maybe that's why we're into looking
backward right now, whether it's watching Don Draper throw back old-fashioneds or the
Earl of Grantham scowl theatrically. Thanks to vintage stores, we can stack our
closets with threads from better decades to wash away those 2013 blues.
I knew the kids weren't messing
around the first time I heard them sing -- a low, slow, foot-stomping dirge,
part spiritual and part worksong:
They are digging us a hole.
They are digging us a hole.
Six feet underground,
Where our future will go.
We will lay down our bodies.
We will lay down our souls.
They are digging us a hole.
Six feet underground,
Where our future will go.
We will lay down our bodies.
We will lay down our souls.

William Koons
William Koons, 93, of Longville, passed away Monday, March 11, 2013, at Emmanual Nursing Home, Detroit Lakes, Minn. He was born to William and Bessie (Senter) Koons on Nov. 5, 1919, in St. Elmo, Ill.
He grew up in Champaign, Ill, graduating from Champaign High School in 1938. He enlisted in the Air Force in 1942, being stationed in Wendover Air Force base in Nevada. He also served in the Marianas. He drove trucks and was a cook in the service. Bill was in the 509th Composite Group, which was the group that carried the first atom bomb that bombed Hiroshima, Japan. He was honorably discharged in 1945. While stationed at Wendover, he met and married the love of his life, Della Svedin. They were married Feb. 18, 1944. After discharge Bill and Della moved back to Champaign.

Welcome to a chaos.
Hmmm. I actually thought I had almost low levels of light. Lately, I've put the RayII's on a limited light cycle. On for four hours in the AM and four at night. The T8 acts almost like a dim fill light. It's in the SeaClear hood with a bottom cover that diffuses the small amount of light that gets through. I'm running CO2 at near 5 bbl/sec and I have a Fluval CO2 level indicator that stays in the green.
I assumed my Aquatek solenoid/reg was working right until yesterday. I found that the solenoid was stuck open and not going off at night. I removed the unit and pulled the solenoid shaft. The seat was indented and there was some trash in the reg. Took care of that and it's doing fine now. (As a paintball tech, I have a lot of knowledge on regulators and solenoids)
I cut some Lexan rectangles for the end clamps of the light to hold them up. I guess I'll look into making taller ones. The bug is the hood and the way it blocks light to the center of the tank while over flooding the front and back. It's just been very nice, as it fits in the top cutouts so nicely.
Thanks very much, to everyone that has posted replies. I greatly appreciate it. Now I'll go read a bit of the Diana Walsted "Ecology of the Planted Tank" and get more confused! LOL! Looking forward to getting to know everyone here!
Is that a 36"L x 15"D x 20"H tank? From http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=189944 each 36 inch long Finnex RayII light is giving you about 50 micromols of PAR, so two of them together is giving you nearly double that much PAR, which is very high light. The T8 light is just along for the ride. With that much light, even with half that much light, you need to be supplying non-limiting amounts of NPK and trace elements, so the plants growth rate isn't limited by any of the basic nutrients. And, very important, you need to also be providing an optimum amount of CO2, also to keep CO2 from being what limits the plants growth rate. You need the light to be the only limit on how fast the plants can grow.
You can't use bubble rate to determine if you have enough CO2. For that you need to start by setting up the tank so the fish can live with relatively high CO2 concentration. That means the tank water needs to be very well oxygenated - lots of dissolved O2 in the water. You need to arrange the filter return flow so it keeps the entire water surface covered with ripples, no splashing, but lots of ripples. And, if you are really serious, you will also set up a wet/dry filter which does a great job of getting oxygen dissolved into the water. Now, slowly increase the CO2 bubble rate just a little bit. Then watch the plants and fish for a few days, watching for improved plant growth/health. If you see an improvement, you didn't have enough CO2 before. (Watch the fish looking for obvious distress from the CO2.) Repeat the small increase in CO2 bubble rate and watching the plants and fish until you don't see any improvement in the plants, or until the fish are showing distress. Back off to the last bubble rate and you are at the optimum CO2 concentration.
With healthy growing plants in the tank, you should be able to avoid algae, or at least make it easy to control it by cleaning it up the moment it appears. It is best to do this with no algae already in the tank. All of this works best if your tank and filter cleaning is done regularly and well.
Of course, you can also reduce the light intensity by raising the light, by using fewer lights, or by putting a layer of fiberglass window screen over the light to "filter" it. That reduces the plants need for CO2, so maintaining enough is far easier.

@Django - Great site! Found it when I was scratching my head and doing the "WTF?" when I first saw the algae. Thank you...
@BBradbury - I am trying to get to that point right now. Thank you for your input...
The biggest detractor that I find when trying to find a reliable method of getting rid of this pesky stuff, is tht there seems to be forty different methods to eradicate it. Which method works? Who knows? BBradbury says too much nutrients, but blogspot guy says the worst thing to do is cut back on them. I don't give my tetras much food anyway. Less is better at this point. But the Flourish Excel and the API Algaefix, in conjunction with less light time and more CO2 SEEMS to be slugging it out in the trenches with the BBA. And the damn snails are eating something, because they're getting bigger. I know everyone hates algae treatments, but the API has no copper or copper sulphate, so it's not doing any harm. My biggest concern is keeping the pH stable...
Didn't see your post before, Kathyy. Going to go over it when I get a sec. Working...
Things have changed, haven't they? When I set up my planted tank in the 1990's I had to glean tidbits from FAMA and TFH and there sure wasn't much. Library and bookstores had zip, my old 1960's Axelrod 3 ring binder thing was better than most of what was there.
Feed the plants! With a bright CO2 enriched tank the fish poop is unlikely to provide enough of the essentials to grow strong plants that won't allow algae to land and grow. See the crypt leaf? It is on its way out and that is why the algae could grow. Trim any damaged leaves you see, they will just serve as places for algae to grow. Look at the Fertilizer and Water forum's sticky thread to see how to and get a set of dry fertilizers so your plants have all they need to grow. Excess nutrients don't cause algae, they help the plants to grow strong and healthy! I have no green spot algae because I dose a lot of phosphate [understand that is in combination with all the CO2 the tank gets as well] and ended a horrible siege of green water by dosing nitrate. Alas that never helped again but low nitrate was the reason I had that particular case of green water.
Do cut the hairgrass back to the substrate best you can. It does brilliantly trimmed, better than a lawn as the tips don't even turn brown! While it is short go ahead and vacuum the area as hairgrass traps debris and sometimes that encourages algae.
If the microsword hasn't been in the tank long I would pull it out, sit down and pick out all the wiry stuff then replant the clean microsword. This will be very nitpicky and annoying and you will likely end up with individual plantlets that need to be replanted using tweezers. I have had tiny colonies of clado rarely so I don't remember if it attaches firmly or not. If you are lucky it isn't attached just winds around the plants. Next best would be if it does attach but each algal plant winds around and is only attached in a few spots.
Last time I had staghorn I zapped it with Excel and moved the powerhead to blow across the area. It turned pink and then the otos and platies ate it all up. Might consider investing in a bottle of the stuff. You dose it by turning off the pumps so the water is still and use a syringe to squirt on problem areas. I use about 1.5 ml per 10 gallons. Let the tank sit for about 20 minutes then turn on the pumps. The red algae like staghorn and BBA will turn red and then the fish can eat it. Otherwise it dissolves over a long period of time. That stuff is tough and takes a long time to decay. I don't know if it kills clado or green thread as I haven't ever had a problem with them. Pick out as much as you can before dosing though, no point in killing algae on dying leaves!
In summary. Find out about fertilizing and get a set of powders. Remove damaged material including mowing the hairgrass. Clean the substrate of debris and be sure your filter is in good order. Pull out as much as you can off plants you need to save. Consider using Seachem Excel to zap spots you cannot remove.
Algae Problem
Hello jest...
From my experience with algae overgrowth, there's a simple cause and that's too much dissolved food (nutrients) in the tank water. Simply put, if you feed more than your fish and plants can use, then the conditions are right for algae.
I gradually reduced the amount I was feeding. I now feed my fish and plants a little, twice a week. Fish and plants are tiny and do best with minimal food.
By reducing the nutrients in the water, there's no food to sustain it, so algae shrinks to the point it's barely visible.

Good luck
Nice tank!
Looks low-tech?
BBA is evil! Can be hard to get rid of once its there. It's just finding the balance between light, CO2, and fertilizers. This goes for all algae.
CO2 could be the issue here. I'd adjust a little. Macro shortage; Nitrates shouldn't be zero.
Staghorn causes are low CO2, Macro shortage.
Are you dosing any fertilizers?
I'd trim the Dwaf Hairgrass down to get rid of most of the BBA.
|I guess I trusted the plant sellers a bit fast. Should have done the bleach-10%-water dunk when I got them. (I was answering my own question - "How could it have gotten in the tank in the first place?") In any case, it looks like I've got some decisions and some work... Or are they one in the same? LOL! Thanks very much for the direction. Coming back to aquariums after 25 years has been quite interesting.
Nice looking tank, would be tough to watch the algae take it over. As long as your plants are growing, it really doesn't matter what their names are. It looks like Black brush algae to me-on both your crypt and your hair grass. BBA can have lots of diffrent forms. The funniest is probably "clown fro", so it could look one way on your crypt and a diff way on your grass. I mean the light levels, nutrients excetra excetra might be very diffrent on your crypt and on your big sword so the BBA will look diffrent.
Id suggest get the nutrients out of the water. This can be tough depending on where they are coming from, some times tap water has everything BBA needs to thrive. It also thrives on fish waste. Also a long photoperiod benefits BBA. Absolutely no more than 8 hours a day, but your plants could probably get by with much less than that until the algae is under hand. Finally, the BBA is not going to just die and go away, once you get the nutrients and light under control, it will stop colonizing new leaves, but it will still persist, and maybe get a little longer. The leaves it attaches to are goners, the plant will be better off without them, so you may as well trim them of now, and let the plant invest it's energy in generating new ones. Your grass and chain sword may be total losses, unless you can pick out some algae free portions.
Just my 2c tho take it or leave it Good luck
Algae problem has me pulling 'hair" out!
Greetings! This is my first post, as I've been looking around and getting my bearings. My problem is (duh) algae. I was having problms ID-ing the stuff in my 50 gal acrylic tank. To keep it short, I have lots of plants that I have no idea how to pick and name. It sounds dumb, but i picked what looked good and planted as such. SOME I do know. The immediate proble I'll reinforce with a few pics after.
First, is an algae that looks like Staghorn is on the "crypt" and resembles the same, but thinner looking growths on the big Sword.
Second, I got micro-sword in a mat. When it arrived I looked at it and it appeared to have a green reinforcing material in it. I actually thought it was to hold the mat together. (Yes, go ahead and laugh...) As it never went away, pulled some of it off lastr night and saw that it was the nasty thick green algae that is as tough as wire. Trying to remove it from the sword mat seems impossible. Is there a way.
Third, I have a fuzzy black algae that has formed on my hairgrass and the "babies" on the java Fern.
My pH runs at 6.8-7.0. GH/KH run at 3-4 ppm. Nitrates 0, Nitrites 2, (almost positive on ates/ites - from memory) Ammonia 0; I run a Aquatop canister w/9V UV, (Purigen, charcoal, bio-balls & ammo-zorb); CO2 system (4 drops/sec); 2 - Ray 2 LEDs and a T8 Floramax in the hood.
Forgive me if I was long winded. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

In my opinion, much of Emily's appeal is her personality. Emily has sparkle and love of skating written all over her face when she performs. I can't help but smile each time she takes the ice.
Not to take away from Kimmie in any way, but she does not have that sparkle on the ice. Although I acknowledge and admire Kimmie's skating, she has not yet surfaced as a "performer" in my opinion.
14th and 15th, by GP points maybe. But look at the difference in ACTUAL POINTS scored. Kimmie scored 307.90 total points, while Emily scored only 252.54. Pointwise, Kimmie had the 10th highest total points scored, Emily 19th highest.Originally Posted by Mathman
Emily lucked out by drawing into two much easier competitions than Kimmie. At both SA and CoR, there were numerous withdrawals so that the fields were way watered down from their original rosters. Kimmie skated at TEB, probably the toughest competition of last year's GP, and at NHK, a fiercely competitive event which decided who would go to the GPF and who would not.
Skate America - 126.75 beaten by Sokolova (163.02), Czisny (159.30), Onda (150.98) and Liang (133).
Cup of Russia - 124.76 beaten by Slutskaya (198.06), Ando (172.30), Onda (142.4) and Poykio (131.3).
TEB - 155.72 beaten by Asada (182.42), Cohen (175.12), Arakawa (173.3), Rochette (167.72). TEB was so tough that their finishes there kept Arakawa and Rochette out of the GPF.
NHK - 152.18 beaten by Nakano (158.66), Suguri (158.48), Liashenko (156.52), Ando (154.34). This was a very tight competition with only 6.5 points separating 1st and 5th.
Kimmie would have won bronze at both SA and COR with her TEB or NHK scores, while Emily would have finished eighth at TEB with her SA and CoR scores, and 8th at NHK with her SA score, 10th with her CoR score.
The big difference between Kimmie and Emily competitively was that Emily dropped off quite a bit after her surprisingly successful Olympic performances, while Kimmie improved on hers. Emily bombed her Worlds SP after finishing 3rd in her QR group, and her FS was flat and devoid of energy, barely edging Joannie Rochette's disastrous FS. Kimmie built on her top-6 Torino performance and won the World championship, while Emily had to settle for 8th place.
Emily has a pleasant personality, but all the Ta-Da's in the world won't make up for barely muscled-through combinations and failed or doubled jumps.

I'm thinking that Meissner got so much accolade, parties, parades, interviews, I think she even rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange, she has so much pressure on her and will fold. Hughes with mere mentions in skating mags, dodged that bullet and she can start with a clean slate, much better position.
I'm always the one who doesn't want her to put on any more weight. I agree with the person who said, she's not going to take any off, she's used to that weight. But it's a matter of physics. What is it, one pound takes off 6 centimeters of jumping height?
However, Hughes has the cultural background. That's aside from her will to succeed and her competitiveness. Between the two, I choose Emily. Hands down. Now, Taylor, Liang can be a threat, and the twin from Ohio, I wish them well, certainly. But I think Emily has it.
Mere mentions in skating mags? Emily Hughes was featured on the front page of the NY Times Sunday Magazine section, before she even won a medal at Nationals, and every Olympic figure skating article in the Times heavily featured Hughes as a medal threat with little or no mention of Meissner. The NY Times didn't even do a real story on Meissner when she won Worlds.
Meissner has been competing at the international level since the 2004 season and she has learned to handle the pressure. Hughes was the one who folded at Worlds, not Meissner.
Me, I'm for the twins from Ohio.Originally Posted by lisadotdash
Actually, the twins are from Michigan.
Here's Amber: http://www.usfigureskating.org/conte...zisnyamber.jpg
BTW, Amber Czisny's career as a promising singles skater derailed a year or so ago because of a foot injury. She decided to take up ice dancing, but as far as I know she has competed only in solo dance events so far. Does anyone know if she has a partner?
The Czisnys are from Bowling Green, Ohio, and have trained in Michigan for the majority of their skating careers. I don't see Amber's name listed for any Solo Dance events at the Lake Placid competition this week, and I haven't heard if she is still training (I always enjoyed her singles skating which was a very different style from Alissa's; Amber was also a *great* spinner who sometimes included a reverse spins in her programs).
Note to chuckm: Emily Hughes is from New York and so the NY Times Sunday magazine feature article on her last fall was not surprising to me. Meissner is from the Baltimore area and her remarkable accomplishments have been extensively covered by the Baltimore Sun newspaper. IMO, there's no need to denigrate what Emily Hughes has been able to accomplish in her first 2 seasons as a senior level skater.
Ha! That's so funny. Here in Maryland they did the exact opposite...hyped Meissner almost to the hilt and hardly mentioned Hughes or even Cohen.Originally Posted by chuckm
Oh yeah? Well, Bowling Green, Ohio, is rightfully part of Michigan. We lost it in the Toledo War of 1836.Originally Posted by Sylvia
In exchange Pres. Andrew Jackson gave us a big chunk of Wisconsin, now Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
And a good thing it was, too, because Michigan --the Wolverine State -- doesn't have any wolverines, but Wisconsin does (or did, in 1836). So instead of the University of Michigan Wolverines we would have had to choose a stupid nickname like the Buckeyes.
Emily had not yet won a Senior level medal when she got the cover of the NY Times Magazine (and a long article, as well). It WAS surprising to me, because nothing remotely similar had ever been done by the NY Times for Sarah (prior to her big win), and Sarah had won a World medal and multiple US medals before winning the OGM. Yes, Sarah got front page coverage in a major newsmagazine, but then she was considered a legitimate OGM contender, having beaten Slutskaya and Kwan early in the season. But the NY TImes was more interested in Kwan and Cohen than Hughes at the time.Originally Posted by Sylvia
I am sure the Baltimore papers have covered Kimmie, but then Kimmie had won her second US medal and the World Championship. What is odd to me is that the NY Times barely mentioned Kimmie's WC win. The Times has covered Sasha and Michelle extensively and in depth, win or lose, in the past, and those ladies are West Coast skaters. I felt that was denigrating Kimmie's astounding accomplishment.
My intention was not to tear down Emily, but to rebut statements by others that Emily and Kimmie were on a level playing field accomplishments-wise. I do not see it that way, sorry.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with hype? It doesn't bring in any medals. Judges are oblivious to it. The only hype I ever objected to was the paid for hype of the Lipinsky family while their daughter got a silver medal in junior girls. Wow, what a feat. Other than that one, I kind of like the hype of Emily and Kimmie. I wish Bebe would get some hype.
The story of Emily, as I see it, she showed promise in Portland. Excepting the dreaded GPs the following year because she was quite ill, she really hasn't rose to the level of Kimmie yet. Maybe this season,. JMO.
Well, that doesn't sound like something to sneeze at, IMO.The only hype I ever objected to was the paid for hype of the Lipinsky family while their daughter got a silver medal in junior girls. Wow, what a feat.
RD - One doesn't interrupt a news broadcast to announce that a skater did 3 triples. C'mon. Daddy Lipinsky arranged that.Originally Posted by Red Dog
I can't, thre more attention the better - 90% of the time. There will always be corrupt judges popping up once and a while. This sport needs more attention. And even the negative can get more people interested - not promoting negative, but I am sick of empty seats. Here I am looking at moving to Sun Valley, and the COI got canceld there / Boise . That is just wrong! Sun Valley has a pretty good rep for FS, heck Abbott and Costello even did a flick on it, which featured a good deal, there are "champions skating there all the time...bla bla. That is part of the reason I am considering Idaho. Colorado Springs has nice attactions, but try living there.Originally Posted by Joesitz
No more stinking cancellations. I will take Hype if it means more interest.

We're pretty sure most responsible parents don't need the reminder. But judging from the reaction to a golf car crash in Evans last week involving a couple of "tween" boys, there seems to be a lot of confusion about just who is supposed to be behind the wheel of those vehicles.
Hint: It isn't tweens.
Sure, it's going to happen anyway. Kids are going to drive the vehicles, and parents are going to let them. It's not a big deal if it's on private property, and it's a good way to learn rudimentary driving skills.
Columbia County scored a major coup this weekend by bringing Papa Joe's Banjo-B-Que to Evans Towne Center Park, yet another in a series of events that have left other venues in favor of the shiny new facility.
Held here on Memorial Day weekend, the event included a flag ceremony and a fireworks show. But its sheer size also meant the displacement of the more intimate Red, White and Blue Veterans Celebration, a patriotic event heading into its 12th year.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
That, in a nutshell, describes the budget process for Columbia County government and the school system.
For the county government, keeping a lid on personnel expenses as growing sales-tax revenues help fuel a building boom has allowed the county to cut taxes three of the past four years.
Let's start with a couple of definitions: A "prank" generally is a harmless practical joke. "Vandalism" causes physical damage.
What happened last week at Greenbrier High School was not a "senior prank," even though it was committed by four of the school's seniors. It was vandalism, pure and simple.
The price tag for that vandalism, which destroyed 43 locks on the school's exterior doors when the teens squirted powerful glue into them: More than $5,100.
One of the more sordid chapters of Columbia County criminal history slammed shut with a pair of surprise guilty pleas on Friday.
The good news is that taxpayers will be spared the additional expense of a lengthy prosecution. The bad news is that we'll have to warehouse a murderous mother and son for the rest of their miserable lives.
And it comes as the victimized family is spending their fourth Mother's Day without a wife and mother.
Want to see a Columbia County employee run for cover?
Just say the word "peacock."
It's not because they're afraid of the noisy, colorful birds. It's because, for several years, they've been badgered about peafowl in a small area of Martinez.
Virtually all of those complaints have come from one very vocal, and abrasive, longtime resident of the area. Everyone else long ago accepted the birds as just another quirky feature of their neighborhood.
From the general sound of public dialogue, it might sometimes seem that government budgets rank as one of the hottest topics.
If that were the case, however, it would be hard to explain how Columbia County commissioners could hold a public hearing to present next year's budget, and no one from the public attends.
As in: No one. Just a few government employees and members of the media were there Tuesday when county Finance Director Leanne Reece provided an overview of next year's plan for providing government services in the fast-growing county.
Stop us if you've heard this one: An undercover cop walks into a convenience store...
It's not the setup for a joke, however. That's the start of another of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office's occasional stings to make sure stores are complying with the law requiring them to ask for ID for anyone buying alcohol.
It was almost an eerie coincidence. Just a couple of weeks after a News-Times story in which Harlem Mayor Bobby Culpepper asked residents of his city to contribute historical relics for a future museum, his own business would be consigned to one.
Though long since moved out of Harlem, Culpepper Ford had been a venerable part of the city's history since Culpepper's father founded the dealership in 1949.
In that post-World War II era, returning GI's and the nation's post-war affluence made automotive dealerships a virtual gold mine for that golden age of automobiles.
Even without all the facts in the case, a shocking number of people demanded George Zimmerman be charged in the death of Trayvon Martin in Stanford, Fla.
Yet with the information more cut and dried, some people seemed reluctant to charge a former Harlem teacher with sex crimes related to his relationship with a student. And what's really disturbing is that law enforcement officials in Thomson were among those who seemed all too willing to look the other way.

Flood insurance rates rise in NC
NEW BERN - Flood insurance rates are rising in Eastern North Carolina and some homeowners are feared to see huge spikes in their premium.
In legislation called the Biggert Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, congress is trying to make national flood insurance financially stable. New insurance rates will reflect what the Federal Emergency Management Agency is calling "True risk."
Rates for flood insurance increased in January and October for homeowners of secondary homes, properties with repeated flooding, and businesses. Rates for grandfathered policies are expected in 2014.
It's unknown how much each increase will be, but a fact sheet for the impact of the changes sites increases of 20% or 25% per year for what could be more than five years.
According to FEMA, only 20 percent of policies will receive subsidies.
An organization called NC-20 is getting involved.
"What we're asking the governor and lawmakers is to get involved in this issue," said Tom Thompson, Chairman of NC-20. "We want them to join the ranks of people complaining to congress that this was a hastily drawn bill."
Thompson said the bill will negatively effect a number of people in North Carolina, and not just homeowners.
"People ought to be really worried about it because even if your home isn't affected, if you're living in a coastal town and all of the sudden some of your homes become worthless, that means your tax base goes down," said Thompson.

Netflix Hits a New High: RBC Offers Positive Survey Findings
Shares of Netflix (NFLX) are up $3.67, or 1.3%, at $296.10, and hit a new 52-week high today of $298.93.
RBC Capital's Mark Mahaney today reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares, and raised his price target to $330 from $280, after revising his sum-of-the-parts analysis of the stock to reflect 2015 numbers "in the wake of unusually positive survey results."
That survey, consisting of questions posed to Internet users by the third-party firm SurveyMonkey, yielded 1,078 respondents in the U.S. during August.
"At a broad level, we maintain that our key survey findings support the conclusion that Netflix offers a relatively compelling consumer value proposition in the U.S."
He makes six observations:
- Leading position in video: "43% of respondents cited Netflix as a Website they use to watch movies or TV shows – once again, a higher response rate than for any other site, except YouTube. Interestingly, the gap between Netflix and YouTube is the smallest we have ever tracked."
- Overall satisfaction good: "63% of current Netflix subscribers are either "extremely satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their Netflix subscription – a slight improvement from 57% in our May 2013 survey. These satisfaction levels are the highest we have tracked since the H2:11 branding/pricing challenges – pointing to a trend of gradual recovery. That said, we believe these levels are still materially below the satisfaction levels Netflix enjoyed in H1:11, highlighting the magnitude and duration of the brand "hit" Netflix inflicted on itself."
- Churn rates improving: 8% of current subscribers are "not at all likely" to cancel their subscriptions in the next 3 months, higher than the 61% in our May 2013 survey, and slightly higher than the 66% in our February 2013 survey. This level is actually the highest we have tracked in over two years."
- Streaming content selection good: "24% of current subscribers believe that Netflix's streaming content has "greatly or moderately improved" over the last 12 months, while 23% believe it has "slightly improved." These levels are relatively consistent with those we tracked earlier this year, but are at the high end of what we have tracked over the past two years."
- Subscribers price sensitive: "We continue to believe that as Netflix increases its content offering and improves its user experience that it will increase its ability to modestly raise pricing over time, depending on competitive circumstances. This is very hard to accurately test via surveys – there is almost universally a negative reaction to the question of "Would you mind paying more for X,Y,Z?" As we stated in our May 2013 Updating the Long Thesis note, the more useful survey results will come from time period trends that indicate changes in price increase reactions. When asked how likely they would be to cancel should Netflix increase its monthly subscription price by $1, 16% responded that they would be "extremely likely" or "very likely" – roughly in-line with 17% in our May 2013 survey.
- Original titles may help reduce churn: For the first time, we included in our survey four questions testing the impact of original content – as both an acquisition and a retention tool – and original content viewing habits. When asked how important original content was to their decision to sign up for Netflix, 74% responded that original content "did not influence my decision at all." We believe that these results indicate that Netflix original content is likely currently not a meaningful subscriber acquisition tool. But when asked how important Netflix was to their decision to remain a subscriber, 43% responded that original content was "extremely important", "quite important", or "moderately important."
Mahaney argues the original programming, including House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, have proven their appeal, now Netflix has to see if it can keep up the production of new titles:
Our proprietary tracking shows relatively high levels of success for House of Cards and Orange is the New Black – which has actually surpassed HOC in the number of ratings, over a fairly short time period. We reiterate our belief that Netflix's ability to successfully generate original content has been proven – now the question is whether it can sustainably generate original content. Reordering second seasons of all first season projects is an encouraging starting point.

Deja Phooey.
The last one leaving Cowboy Stadium can get the lights. This party is over.
A season of excitement came to a crashing halt with an evening of disappointment that gave every McNeese fan the sinking feeling they had seen this type of debacle before.
The ones that bothered to show up that is.
For just as disappointing as the 31-10 loss to Jacksonville State, which never really felt that close, was the smallish crowd before and even much smaller after halftime.
After complaining about missing the playoffs the past three years, McNeese fans seemed more than willing to sit this one out instead of sitting out in the cold.
The paid attendance for the playoff game was 5,036, roughly a third of what the Cowboys averaged during the regular season.
Maybe they just knew what was coming.
"It was disappointing," said McNeese State Athletic Director Bruce Hemphill. "We had great support all year and we really appreciate the fans who came out. Maybe it was the cold, but we will have to see what happened."
It does make you wonder just how desperate this town is for a winner, or how interested.
If it's true you get what you deserve, then the missing McNeese fans got the performance they deserved. But that is just a subplot. The real story took place on the field.
McNeese State may have started to turn the corner back to prominence, but the road to the Football Championship Subdivision elite is still long.
And these Cowboys, like the four previous before them who made the playoffs, could not get over even the first speed bump. Speed bump, make it more like a giant brick wall.
Jacksonville State, a team that was 0-7 in its history against McNeese, made history of the Cowboys Saturday night — with ease.
The Gamecocks are now 1-7 against the Cowboys, adding to recent playoff misery for this program.
Overall, Saturday's postseason loss was the sixth straight for McNeese, dating back to the national championship game of 2002.
It was the fourth in a row for head coach Matt Viator, who told all that this was a new team and had nothing to do with those losses.
Yet they followed in their footsteps with a sloppy playoff showing that had the contest all but decided by halftime.
Jacksonville State's shockingly easy victory could be flagged 15 yards for piling on.
"Very disappointing," said Viator. "I don't really know what to say right now. I'm at a loss for words."
Before last night, Viator's teams had been outscored in the playoffs 124-34. That number only grew with each Gamecocks score.
That is what made this blowout so surprising. A loss, sure, but this after a bye week, after earning the sixth-seed with a 10-2 record is like getting blindsided by a blitzing linebacker.
With all the talk of changing the playoff culture, what we got was a case of culture shock.
When he wasn't being sacked or intercepted, quarterback Cody Stroud was under-throwing and overthrowing receivers with equal frequency.
The Southland Conference's Offensive Player of the Year reverted back to his days of struggles during his sophomore season. He would finish just 18 of 40 for 255 yards, was sacked 11 times, fumbled on three of those and was intercepted twice.
While his head coach was willing to take the blame for this one, Stroud wanted none of that.
"This is on us," he said. "We didn't make the plays to win the game."
Most of Stroud's positive numbers came late, when the outcome had long since been decided.
On those occasions he had time to throw and hit the target, there were more than enough drops to go around by his receivers. They dropped nine of Stroud's tosses.
The running game wasn't much better.
To show how bad things were for the Cowboys, of their three first downs in the opening half one was by penalty, another came on the game's second play from scrimmage and the third was by the rarest of happenings, when they got their own punt blocked.
A recovery of a fumble on the return of that block gave early hope this might be the Cowboys' night. That only proved to be fool's gold.
"This comes down to wins and losses," said Viator. "If you lose, you want to lose playing the best way you can. We didn't do that."
McNeese's only scores came late and were more whimpers of protest rather than a statements of presence.
"People will judge this the way they want to judge this," said Viator.
In time we will be able to look at this record-setting season differently, as one to build on but not tonight.
"Right now it hurts," said Stroud. "It is not the time to wonder when we will remember the good times. I'll let you know when that happens."
About the only thing we found out for sure last night was thanks to those late McNeese scores.
The cannon in the North end zone works in the cold.
Other than that, the night was a total wash.

Boothill Cemetery
Boothill Cemetery, and the entire town of Tombstone, AZ, is considered to be one of the most haunted places in the US. Tombstone is the town where the infamous O.K. Corral gunfight happened, between the Clantons, the Earps and Doc Holliday. Three members of the Clanton gang were killed, but apparently their spirits, along with a few outlaws buried in the cemetery, are still seen roaming the around the graveyard, hoping to avenge their death.
St. Louis Cemetery No. 1
Locals, visitors and paranormal investigators believe St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is the most haunted cemetery in the world. Many ghosts haunt this famous graveyard in New Orleans, including Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. Because most of the city is submerged in water, the dead are buried on top of the ground. Some visitors have heard eerie screams from inside the tombs and have been eyewitnesses to the ghosts of animals, including cats and dogs. Take a picture here and a strange orb or ghost may make an appearance in your photo.
Highgate Cemetery
Highgate Cemetery in London is perhaps one of the most actively haunted cemeteries in the UK. With 50,000 graves on site, it's not a surprise why ghosts still roam this spooky spot and its underground catacombs. Ghost stories about the cemetery include tales of vampires who some claim drain the blood from dead animals found in the graveyard. And rumors continue to spread about seeing an imp-like creature, a ghostly bicycle rider and a mysterious man in a top hat.
Salem Cemetery
Locals, who visit Salem Cemetery in Hendrysberg, OH, have seen the ghost of Louiza Fox, the first murdered citizen of Kirkwood Township. She has been seen crying at her grave and at the site of her murder. Hounds from hell are believed to roam and growl their way through this cemetery. Some people believe the ghost dogs exist to keep ghosts from escaping.
Bachelors Grove Cemetery
Located in Midlothian, IL, Bachelors Grove Cemetery is rumored to be the scariest haunted cemetery in the Chicago area. This area was once a dumping ground for Chicago gangsters during the 1920s. For a number of years, witnesses have claimed to see ghosts and a phantom car that disappears along the turnpike near the graveyard. Not even daylight is safe. Violent cries of a small child are often heard in the evening.
Gettysburg Cemetery
Phantom figures in both Union and Confederate uniforms still pace Gettysburg's battlefield and cemetery -- the site of one of the deadliest battles in American history. A man, seen wearing a black hat with a star, often tries to converse with tourists and pose with families for photos. For the ultimate haunted experience, stay at the Farnsworth House Inn, where Confederate snipers hid during the battle and their ghosts still roam today.
Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Most people know LA's Hollywood Forever Cemetery as the burial place for Hollywood legends, including Rudoph Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks, Nelson Eddy, Norma Talmadge, Victor Fleming, Darla Hood and James Garner. Previously known as Hollywood Memorial Park, the ghosts of Virginia Rappe, Clifton Webb and a lady in black is usually scene lurking around Valentino's crypt.
Père Lachaise Cemetery
Père Lachaise Cemetery has 300,000 graves, making it the largest cemetery in Paris. Opened in 1804, it's a beautiful place for visitors to take a stroll along the cobblestone paths to see the gravesites of Napoleonic-era generals, famous composers and other luminaries, including author Oscar Wilde and Doors lead singer, Jim Morrison. Visitors to the cemetery have even claimed to see Morrison's ghost loitering around his grave.
Westminster Burial Ground
In Baltimore, MD, Western Burial Ground is where the remains of famous people reside, including Edgar Allan Poe, Francis Scott Key, US President James Buchanan and soldiers from the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. The catacombs under Westminster Hall have been the source of many ghostly tales. One old ghost story refers to a skull of a murdered minister that screams all day and night. Rumors are that the skull was bound and gagged in a block of cement, but apparently that hasn't stopped the blood-curdling screams.
Chase Vault
If you're near Christ Church, Barbados, we suggest you check out the Chase Vault, best known for a widespread legend of mysterious moving coffins. According to the creepy tale, each time the heavily-sealed vault was opened in the early 19th century for the burial of a family member -- all of the lead coffins had changed position. Visit the infamous gravesite and determine if the tale is fact or fiction.
Resurrection Cemetery
On the way to the Chicago's Resurrection Cemetery, don't be surprised to see a phantom hitchhiker named Bloody Mary, who asks for a ride to the graveyard, but mysteriously vanishes into thin air. Travelers may spot Thomas Milners and his sister Marlene on the side of the road covered in blood. The two were struck and killed by a car in 1959 while going home from a family burial. And if that's not bizarre enough, locals and visitors have claimed that they saw a vampire bride searching for her head in the cemetery. So be prepared for a few extraordinary paranormal experiences here.

#5 Sun 15 Feb 09 9:12pm
Re: A New Member Saying Hi
About the meat, most of our local meals doen't contain meat espicially now as meat here is very expensive so poor people can't buy it but we have another alternate to meat which poor people always eat which is Beans, it's just like meat and has lots of protein

Re: A New Member Saying Hi

Developement, Cinemas and small business
Original post made by Garrett, another community, on Mar 22, 2013
San Antonio at one time was large to be rated as the 5th most busiest shopping center in the county, Sears, Liberty House, Mervyn's, Best, Gemco and Grodin's were found here. The decline of San Antonio didn't happen over night, took some time, but the writing was on the wall. Sunnyvale and Vallco were built, Stanford and Valley Fair went though some major upgrades. Eastridge and Westgate were just to far away along with Hillsdale. The Great Mall, Gilroy Outlets and now Santana Row.
Valley Fair, Santana Row are now planning major upgrades, within 10 years I would say Stanford will have a upgrade. While we sit it out, fight about traffic, views and small business we might get left in the dirt. Traffic will still remain, you will have your views and the small businesses will wonder why couldn't we upgrade. Los Altos will get a school but Mountain View but will left with a shopping center the could have been upgraded.
Hotels will go to other cities, Sunnyvale could get the theater and shops, along with Santa Clara and Palo Alto. We will get stuck with Ross, BevMo or more fast food.

"..., yes change is hard to swallow."
It's not that.. It's that change for the WORSE is hard to swallow. Or rather, watching property developers (with their supporters in the City) ruin the character of this town.
Most successful malls are within a few minute drive of a major freeway. At best, you are looking at 10 minutes to 85 and 15 minutes to 101. At peak times, you are talking 30 minutes. I hope the development is a success, but we should be prepared for a ghost town...

When this shopping center was planned and the first part of it was built, Bayshore Highway was a 4 lane road, freeway standard was completed in 1964.

Recommended by the National Genealogical Society
Faced with ever-growing expectations for genealogical accuracy and reliability, family histori¬ans concerned with improving their abilities will on a regular basis...
- study comprehensive texts and more narrowly focused articles and recordings covering genealogical methods in general and the historical background and sources available for areas of particular research interest, or to which their research findings have led them.
- interact with other genealogists and historians in person or electronically, mentoring or learning as appropriate to their relative experience levels, and through the shared experience contributing to the genealogical growth of all concerned.
- subscribe to and read regularly at least two genealogical journals that list a number of contributing or consulting editors, or editorial board or committee members, and that require their authors to respond to a critical review of each article before it is published.
- participate in workshops, discussion groups, institutes, conferences and other structured learning opportunities whenever possible.
- recognize their limitations, undertaking research in new areas or using new technology only after they master any additional knowledge and skill needed and understand how to apply it to the new subject matter or technology.
- analyze critically at least quarterly the reported research findings of another family histo¬rian, for whatever lessons may be gleaned through the process.
- join and participate actively in genealogical societies covering countries, localities and topics where they have research interests, as well as the localities where they reside, in¬creasing the resources available both to themselves and to future researchers.
- review recently published basic texts to renew their understanding of genealogical funda¬mentals as currently expressed and applied.
- examine and revise their own earlier research in the light of what they have learned through self-improvement activities, as a means for applying their new-found knowledge and for improving the quality of their work product.

10. This is how it looks when turned right side out. Kind of poofy at this point.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
10. This is how it looks when turned right side out. Kind of poofy at this point.
11. Use a pointy object (but be safe!) to push out the corners to a sharp point. I use a small paint brush handle for this since it has a slightly rounded edge that won't spear through the corner.
12. Here you can see the 2" slit that we turned the block through. Some people like to hand-stitch this closed, others don't bother since it will be beneath the window fabric and won't be seen. I just leave it as is and don't worry about it.
13. Steam press the blocks flat and try not to stretch them out of square.
14. Now we need to fold the corners into the middle like this and press the edges. I like to use pins to hold the corner down into the middle while ironing to avoid steam burned fingers!
15. After pressing, lay the blocks in a stack while you continue pressing. I like to lay them with the points down so that while they cool they will hopefully cool flat rather than with the points sticking up.
16. Now, we're ready to stitch the blocks together. Begin by laying two blocks side by side.
17. Fold the right block under the left block while holding their common sides together.
18. Stitch across the two blocks to join them, using the visible ironed line as a guide.
19. All the way across now, so clip the end threads.

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a situation where, no matter what you do, you can't seem to please your senior manager? Your manager wants you to decrease test time, but at what price? You go back and forth, but no matter how much you compress the schedule, it's never enough. Johanna Rothman explains how to avoid the bring-me-a-rock trap, when enough is not enough, and keep your team from being sucked into unreasonable time constraints.
If you've ever been in the position of knowing your management would like you to decrease test time, but you don't know what your management wants, then you've been a player in the bring-me-a-rock schedule game.
The general form of this game is:
"Bring me a rock."
"OK, here's a rock."
"No, not that rock. A different rock."
"OK, here's another rock."
"No, not that one either..."
Although, in the software testing world it probably looks a little more like this:
Senior manager: How fast can you test this product?
Test Manager: We'll start our work during requirements, but we'll need eight weeks of final system test time at the end of the project.
SM: Not good enough. Decrease the time.
The test manager walks away, gathers her staff, and determines how to cut corners. She returns to the senior manager with a new estimate:
TM: OK, we can get it down to six weeks.
SM: Still not good enough. Decrease the time.
The test manager is starting to see the bring-me-a-rock trap.
TM: Well, how long do you want the testing to take?
SM: You're the test manager, aren't you? You tell me!
No matter what the test manager does to compress the schedule, it won't be enough—unless she can reduce the final test time to zero. Whatever duration she proposes, it will be too long.
If you find yourself in this situation and you succumb to the game, you'll end up agreeing to something unreasonable, whether that's a reduction in scope or time, or an increase in defects.

Jo Garcia: Retro Games T-Shirt Gallery
Jo's all dressed up in her favorite retro video games.
Last week in honor of reaching 20k Twitter followers on my @GamerNextDoor account, I released a brand new exclusive wallpaper. This week, let's keep the fun going with some photos of my personally customized retro gaming t-shirt collection. With the help of some scissors, these shirts fit me so much better. Don't you think?
Nothing was more fun than playing dress up in some of my favorite classic gaming tees. I got to have fun, be a complete dork and try to be little sexy, and that made for an awesome day of shooting. It was fun to walk down memory lane and pick some classics that meant something to me. When Zelda first came out, I was still trick-or-treating and I dressed up as Link. My friends dressed up as other characters from the game. No one knew who we were. Everyone thought I was Peter Pan, but I wouldn't leave without explaining exactly who I was. Screw candy—to me, the cool houses were nerd houses where they actually knew that I was Hyrule's savior and not some fairy tale kid. No offense to Peter Pan.
I took a lot of heat for giving Scott Pilgrim vs. The World a "Jo" in my end-of-year awards last year, but I stand by my decision. That was a terrific graphic novel and movie that both celebrated classic gaming and the life a lot of gamers lead. It really spoke to me and so I wanted to drop my own sex bob-omb on it.
Pac Man is something I play a lot of at my friend's car shop. He has an old tabletop arcade version of the game that is inexplicably in the office. People come into the garage to get their cars fixed and probably wonder who is the girl monopolizing the Pac Man table for hours.
"All girls love their rings." That's what they said in my college dorm to explain why I was so good at Sonic games. The truth was that when I was little the only game the boys would let me play with them were the Sonic games. I played a lot of games on my own, but I mastered the Sonic games because I had to be better than the boys. To this day, you can't collect more rings than I can. From Death Egg Zone, Emerald Hill Zone on over to Aquatic Ruin Zone I am going to end up running circles around you.
I snuck a Domo-kun in because I love them and I've enjoyed a few of the DSi games. Donkey Kong is the original princess kidnapper and definitely deserves some time with this princess. Ha!
As for the Power Glove? Who didn't have a love-hate relationship with that thing. It couldn't have been a cooler idea. My biggest beef back in the day was that it didn't fit. The Power Glove we had was my dad's and my arms and wrists were too small. It was just too big. Well guess who grew up? Seems to fit all right now, wouldn't you say?
