Analysts warn that the pullback in research and development among Silicon Valley companies could signal a sea change in the IT industry. Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco economist Dan Wilson notes that the reduction in R&D is even more severe than in the 1991 recession, which was more harsh in overall economic terms; California spends more on R&D than any other state. If companies do not invest in innovation, productivity growth could also slow, warn experts. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison says the current downturn is much more than a cyclical depression, but is also the result of a maturing IT industry. In Silicon Valley, the lack of venture capital investments is stymieing innovation, especially since much of the $4.05 billion invested in the first half of this year is going toward second-round funding instead of new efforts--in 2000 and 2001, the first-half venture capital totals were $19.3 billion and $7.8 billion, respectively. The National Science Foundation says the current situation is historic, as American industry has not reduced R&D spending since 1960. "Last year was the first year in the history of the VC industry when the returns were negative," reports Doll Capital Management founder Dixon Doll. "This year looks to be the same." Santa Clara county currently holds an unemployment rate of 7.6 percent, higher than any urban county in the state of California. In Silicon Valley's favor is its history of enduring cyclical downturns, and its economic resilience. Still, valley's reputation as the world's center for technology innovation is under siege, and the longer the downturn lasts, the effects on innovation will worsen. Others see little on the horizon to boost the industry. Goldman Sachs analyst Rick Sherlund says, "There's no catalyst, no technological Holy Grail."

Intelligence experts warn that military action against Iraq will probably trigger an unprecedented rash of cyberattacks directed against U.S. networks and infrastructure, and such attacks could occur in greater numbers and extend to a wider spectrum of U.S. businesses than any previous assaults. Stroz Associates' Eric Shaw, who once worked as a psychological profiler for the CIA, notes that such attacks could come from Islamic hacking communities that have come together over conflicts between India and Pakistan and Israel and Palestine, as well as "young, liberal, elite, Western-educated youth" based in Europe and the United States who are opposed to war. Furthermore, a report from Dartmouth College's Institute for Security Technology Studies published two weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks finds that a ground war could prompt other local governments to carry out cyberattacks as well, and such attacks could weaken the information networks of America and its allies. Gartner analyst John Pescatore believes that cyberattacks could expand beyond traditional government and military targets to include news media organizations. He adds that U.S. companies with iconic status--American Airlines, McDonald's, and Microsoft, to name a few--are likely targets. Meanwhile, Analytic Services CEO Ruth David says attacks that exploit widely recognized security holes could be particularly devastating to the "softest targets," most of which are private-sector companies. She notes that such strikes could fuel public support for military action.

PC sales growth has slowed to the lowest point in years, with just 11 percent of homes with existing PCs saying they expected to buy another in the coming six months. In comparison, Odyssey Ventures says that 21 percent of households expected imminent PC purchases in early 2000. And last year, Gartner says the PC market shrank 5 percent as many consumers decided to make do with current machines. The PCs already in homes are equipped with sufficient processing power to complete the most vital tasks--word processing, Internet browsing, and email--and many popular PC functions are migrating to less expensive portable or dedicated devices. Microsoft and Intel, for example, have teamed on the Xbox game console, which is aimed at the core PC gaming audience. Intel chief operating officer Paul S. Otellini says his company's experience shows the PC industry is trapped in a "digital spiral" and is now due for a new software innovation that will revive the hardware market. Although others do not discount the inevitability of groundbreaking applications, they say that it will be focused on devices other than the traditional desktop. While Intel has seen marginal growth for its PC processors, for instance, ARM Holdings, the world's largest manufacturer of microprocessors used in mobile devices, is seeing more demand than ever. In the past, faster and better PCs were enough to drive sales, but only some of the world's 500 million PC owners now see immediate benefits to trading up; mostly they are users with calculation-intensive applications or complex image processing needs. ARM's John Rayfield says, "There is tremendous growth in all the little things that help life. Centralizing them all in one large computer makes no sense."

The radio spectrum is currently split up into specific frequencies because of worries that transmitters will interfere with each other, but the Open Spectrum movement challenges this notion, claiming that bandwidth scarcity could be eliminated through the development of "smart" transmitters that are possible with today's technology. These transmitters would be capable of reconfiguring their transmission frequencies to avoid interference. Open Spectrum advocates believe that transmitter design, rather than allowable frequency, should be determined by law. Supporters come from diverse backgrounds: They include open-source backers such as New York University Law School's Yochai Benkler, former FCC chief Dale Hatfield, key consultant Bennett Z. Kobb, and technologists such as Dewayne Hendricks, Timothy J. Shepard, and David P. Reed. Wireless firms are also interested--for instance, Steve Sharkey of Motorola reports that his company is conducting lab experiments based on Open Spectrum's core ideas. Meanwhile, deputy assistant defense secretary for spectrum Steven Price says the Pentagon has started to use smarter transmitters to boost its usable spectrum. In addition, research into technologies similar to those touted by Open Spectrum has recently been funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency. Not all Open Spectrum proponents agree on how open the spectrum should be: Some advocate complete openness, while others think that certain segments should be regulated. At any rate, it could take as long as a decade before Open Spectrum's vision is achieved.
The development of spintronics technology could lead to more energy-efficient computers that can store more data and process it faster, but one of the major challenges is that traditional electronic materials such as silicon and gallium arsenide are only magnetic at extremely low temperatures, and making them cold enough requires expensive equipment that takes up space. Researchers at Ohio State University and the University of Utah report in Advanced Materials that they may have solved this problem by inducing spin polarization in a polymer sample. Ohio State physicist Arthur Epstein and colleagues, along with the University of Utah's Joel Miller, write that they applied a magnetic field to adjust the spin of the moving electrons in the plastic. Plastic spintronics would also be lighter and cheaper to mass produce than semiconductors assembled using vacuum deposition and etching, and Epstein believes that plastic semiconductors could be inexpensively printed out by inkjet printing technology. The next challenge the research team is gearing up to meet involves transferring spinning electrons through a stack of alternating magnetic and non-magnetic plastic materials, thus preventing them from losing their spin. "Electronics and magnetism have transformed modern society," posits Epstein. "The advent of plastic electronics opens up many opportunities for new technologies such as flexible displays and inexpensive solar cells."

Dr. James D. Martin of North Carolina State University reports a breakthrough in the Sept. 26 issue of Nature that sheds new light on the atomic and molecular structure of liquids and glass, one that could pave the way for new materials with unique optical and electronic characteristics. This goes against long-held scientific views that such substances are random and unstructured. Martin theorized that "If similar bonding interactions hold molecules in liquids, glasses and crystals, then it should be possible to engineer the structure in liquids and glasses just like it's possible to engineer the structure of crystals." Martin and graduate student Steve Goettler synthesized several glasses and liquids in the laboratory once the chemical principles behind this organization were understood. This was done by introducing foreign molecules into glasses and liquids, thus changing their properties; the molecules were atomically engineered to "fit" within the material's structure and interact with its own molecular particles. Martin's team had the liquids and glasses they produced analyzed at Argonne National Laboratory to verify the structural relationships between model crystals and their amorphous materials. Martin believes that understanding the underlying process of engineering amorphous materials "allows us to create the materials that will be the foundation of tomorrow's technology." His research was backed by the National Science Foundation.
IBM researchers report in the October issue of Nanoletters that they have successfully fabricated carbon nanotubes that use silicon rather than metallic catalysts, thus preventing damage to the samples and promising greater manufacturing yields. The metal catalyst technique involves heating nickel, cobalt, or iron with carbon atoms, which produces nanotubes upon melting. However, the nanotubes are rendered useless as transistors because metal particles often adhere to them. IBM's Phaedon Avouris adds that these nanotubes are damaged when they are boiled in nitric acid to remove the metal. IBM's solution is to heat a carbon-silicon crystal to 1,650 degrees centigrade, which leaves a layer of carbon when the silicon evaporates. This carbon self-assembles into a tube. Although Avouris says that IBM does not manufacture nanotubes, it will encourage companies such as Carbon Nanotechnologies to apply its research to their manufacturing efforts. It will be some years before affordable mass production of carbon nanotubes comes to pass, but such a breakthrough will likely lead to more powerful computers over the next few decades.
Researchers from Portugal's University of Porto have developed a methodology in which electronic agents exchange advice, a process that researcher Luis Nunes says could be applied to Internet traffic routing, robot cooperation, and task balancing among networked computers. In the university experiment, the agents are spread throughout a simulated network of traffic lights, and are tasked with controlling traffic flow by determining the optimum timing for each light. "Agents start by solving the problem autonomously, [then], at given points in time, they advertise their quality of service to others," explains Nunes. Agents with the highest score are classified as advisers for agents with lower scores; these advisers are solicited for help when the advisees' performance levels fall below a certain point. Research demonstrates that this process leads to faster learning and more reliable solutions, but Nunes acknowledges that problems can arise: Too much advice can inhibit learning, which prompted the researchers to regulate communications, while the simulations themselves are time-consuming. Nunes adds that the research team is working on applying the cooperative process to other problems, evaluating advice quality, and combining advice from multiple sources. He also notes that a common language for heterogeneous agents needs to be developed, while more sophisticated communication skills may be necessary so that the method can be extended to additional learning techniques. Nunes says formal guidelines of the agents' learning behavior and the associated advantages should be ready in three years, while commercialization could take between five and 10 years.

Researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles are working on a new tool for preventing distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks through the Internet. Called D-WARD, the program is meant to protect networks from becoming unsuspecting hosts for an outside hacker. D-WARD works by stopping the huge amounts of traffic streams generated by an attack, UCLA researchers say. Typically, hackers launch an attack by breaking into several computer networks, take control over thousands of machines, and launch tens of thousands of data steams that overload a network. As a result, service is denied to legitimate users. "Attacks can be stopped before they enter the Internet and blend with all the other traffic on its way to the victim," says UCLA's Peter Reiher. DDoS attacks have interrupted service on Web sites such as Yahoo, eBay, CNN, and Amazon as well as university campus networks. On Sept. 18, the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board called for universities to strive harder to protect their networks.
Users who worry that their laptops and the sensitive data on them could be plundered while they are away could find Zero-Interaction Authentication (ZIA) useful. Developed by Dr. Brian D. Noble and Mark Corner of the University of Michigan, ZIA involves a small token--in this case a wristwatch--worn by the user that is wirelessly connected to the laptop; the laptop encrypts its data when the token moves out of range, then decrypts it when the device comes back into range. The token's wearer must verify his identity by entering a password once, thus sparing users the headache of having to re-enter it every time the laptop is roused from "sleep" mode. Afterwards, the laptop broadcasts a cryptographic request at one-second intervals that only the token can supply the correct answer to. The master key to the encryption process is held by the token rather than the laptop. IBM scientists designed the wristwatch token, which uses the Linux operating system. Noble thinks that ZIA could be particularly useful to medical doctors who often must leave their laptops unattended so they can fulfill their duties. Meanwhile, Ensure Technologies has commercialized its own remote computer security technology: It involves a badge with a wireless radio transmitter that tells a computer to lock its keyboard and blank its screen when it moves out of a programmable range.

The National Communications System (NCS) is preparing a worldwide Internet monitoring service that would warn the nation's leaders of imminent cyberattack or other disturbances on the Web. Intended for launch next year, the pilot project will watch key government and e-commerce Web sites' performance and use other tools to identify upcoming threats, such as distributed denial-of-service attacks or computer viruses affecting IT infrastructure. NCS deputy manager Brenton Greene says the idea behind the Global Early Warning Information System (GEWIS) is becoming more appealing as preparatory work is being done. "It's still early, but this is an idea whose time has come," he says. The NCS also governs emergency systems used by federal agencies and the White House, ensuring reliable communications in case of disaster. Other NCS pilot projects underway include an emergency notification system for use in natural disasters that would alert a "few thousand key people" the fastest way possible, and a plan to develop back-up dial tone for important federal sites; one possibility is the use of free space optics for wirelessly connecting the backbone infrastructures of nearby buildings.
Anytime, anywhere video-on-demand can only be achieved through compression/decompression algorithms (codecs) that are far more advanced than current programs such as MPEG-2, and both major technology vendors such as RealNetworks and upstarts such as Pulsent are vying to create a codec standard. The upstarts, however, have an edge because they are focusing on consumer-electronics devices such as set-top boxes. MPEG-4 is ahead of other codec efforts, because it uses object-based compression to produce high-quality video images without clogging bandwidth, but tough licensing terms could be a barrier to adoption. Alternative codec technologies include Divx from Divx Networks, which began as a grassroots effort and became a highly popular format for playing mostly pirated digital media; On2 Technologies' VP5, which can stream video at 400 Kbps with near-DVD picture quality; and a mostly secret codec from Pulsent that will reportedly optimize video playback by processing each real-world object separately instead of converting foregrounds and backgrounds into grids. Meanwhile, the nonprofit Xiph.org is focusing on Tarkin, an open-source video codec designed to be continuously tweaked by programmers. Xiph.org head Emmett Plant believes that the open-source nonprofit model is more likely to lead to a codec of superior quality rather than the for-profit model. To speed up the delivery of video-on-demand, the CableLabs consortium is working on OpenCable, a cable transmission standard that will enable set-top boxes from any manufacturer to interoperate with any cable system. Successful codecs will depend on not just research and development, but marketing and the participation of cable companies. Before all this can happen, however, content providers must settle on a standard format for content delivery.
Unemployed IT workers disturbed over the influx of foreign H-1B and L-1 workers and overseas outsourcing should accept their presence and instead focus on boosting their own talents beyond programming, said a panelist at a recent outsourcing conference sponsored by Brainstorm Group in Northboro, Mass. H-1B visas allow competent foreign workers in various fields to work in the United States for up to six years. L-1 visas, meanwhile, let multinational firms shift overseas workers to the United States after serving the company for at least one year. The federal government does not limit the number of L-1 visas but does put a cap on H-1Bs. GRT's Kent Bauer suggested that American IT workers aim for work at higher levels and work more closely with business units on large projects such as enterprise resource management (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM). Amit Govil of Sapient India believes American IT professionals should act as a link between IT and their enterprises by becoming organizers and developing "conceptual solutions." Srinavas Raghavan at American International Group believes U.S. IT employees should draw on their strengths in communications and integration skills.

As new protocols are being worked out, vendors are preparing to infuse presence technology into more business applications, including voice and video, taking the technology out of the realm of instant messaging and making it a standard part of corporate networks. A number of major IT brands have included new Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE) standards in a varied number of products, including Microsoft's Windows XP, Nortel's application servers, and Lotus' Sametime. Wireless standards groups are also adopting SIP for call-control functions on new 3G networks. Just because the technology is available to deploy presence capability in various digital applications does not mean that users will prefer voice capabilities on Sametime, for example, to a regular phone call. Nicole Picciotta of the law firm Shaw Pittman says, however, that the company often makes use of Sametime's presence capabilities for instant collaboration, including whiteboard sessions and application sharing. And on Sept. 11, 2001, Bob Elloyan of Porter Novelli says his company used presence-awareness technologies to maintain contact with customers. His company is also working on a campaign to sign on clients for presence technology.
Initiatives to develop technologies that would allow paralysis victims to perform simple activities--moving a cursor on a computer screen, for example--by thought have been constrained by inaccurate motion reproduction and prolonged training periods, but Brown University researchers have reported a significant breakthrough in Nature. They have demonstrated that a monkey could learn to move a cursor by brainpower in a matter of minutes through a simple algorithm that harnesses the output of a handful of neurons. "Our results demonstrate that a simple mathematical approach, combined with a subject's own learning abilities, can provide accurate goal-oriented control," explains Brown University's John Donoghue. Electrodes implanted in the motor cortex first record 60 seconds of neuronal output as the monkey physically directs the cursor. Linear coefficients produced by a linear regression equation are then used to devise a program that controls cursor movement via such output. Afterwards, cursor control is switched from the monkey's hand to the connected neurons. "In some trials, the monkey stopped using the manipulator altogether," notes graduate student Mijail D. Serruya. Developing technologies that can be applied to human subjects is the goal of Cyberkinetics, the company set up by the Brown researchers; paralyzed patients could potentially use such methods to not only communicate, but manipulate a robot arm, or even partly restore bodily movement.
A new model for semiconductor design will be necessary as chips approach the sub-submicron level, a development that is impractical unless such chips can be produced cheaply and in mass quantities. Platform-based embedded systems-on-a-chip (SOCs) are such a model, and they are made by building up a series of programmable programs that boast programmability and scalability. The paradigm shift will be represented by a set of reconfigurable, embedded SOC hardware platforms that can support a wide range of applications because their configuration and I/O are optimized. NEC, Leopard Systems, Synputer, and others are setting the foundation of this transition by building hardware platforms centered around communication processing sectors and featuring ad hoc hardware reconfigurability and software programmability. They are drawing their inspiration from the DSP, FPGA, RISC, and VLIW communities. Entrepreneur Raam Gopalan predicts that embedded SOC deployment will rely on reconfigurable hardware platforms by 2010. Successful implementation of these platforms will depend on the availability of RTOs, compilers, a development environment that users can easily adopt, and a repository of software IP modules that cut down the software functionality development time from years to months.
Reviews.com is a retooled version of Computing Reviews, one that offers more pros than cons, in the opinion of SMF Information Services owner Susan Fingerman. Books, articles, symposia, technical reports, theses, and Web-only publications are covered by the site, whose content is sorted into 19 categories outlined by the ACM Computing Classification System (CCS). More than 1,000 volunteer reviewers currently work for reviews.com, and they can choose not only their area of expertise, but also their frequency of providing reviews, their availability to begin, and how often they wish to see a list of items to review. Subscribers can take advantage of a diverse array of features: Clicking on a review title lists bibliographical citations, item types, the complete review, additional hyperlinked CCS terms, and hyperlinks to reviewers and authors of the reviewed material; there is also a "full-text" button that provides subscribers with options on how to access the articles, such as library order or direct purchase. Reviews.com also has customization and personalization features--for example, searches can be sorted by relevancy, review date, publication date, title, author, journal, or publication type. Boolean searching and search screen customization are also supplied. Especially useful is review.com's Smartbox area, which comes with an Alert feature subscribers can customize by display and by content; alert options include when new items appear in preferred CCSes, or involve favorite authors, reviewers, publications, or forums, and items added in certain timeframes, categories, or subcategories. Librarians can use reviews.com to keep abreast of topics, experts, and cutting-edge research, while discussions between both novices and experts are hosted in the site's underutilized Forums section.

1) If you're scoring your 200th goal in the Argentinian top flight, you might as well mark the occasion in style. What better way to do so than by nodding home the winner for Boca Juniors in a five-goal thriller at La Bombonera against Velez Sarsfield ... from 40 metres out. Martin Palermo take a bow.
2) Another remarkable header, albeit less intentional. A young Steve Waugh scones Arjuna Ranatunga on the back of the head whilst throwing for a run-out. Here are some more comedy cricket injuries (unless you're on the receiving end), plus a nasty collision/astonishing catch combo.
3) The only things missing are the red beams, as a BBC reporter is subjected to Roy Keane's most gimlet-eyed laser-stare for having the brass neck to ask if the Ipswich Town manager might walk away from his latest managerial post. Those toes you can hear curling are your own. We're not sure why Keano took umbrage at the question - it's not as if the former Manchester United midfielder is without form in the field of messy, unexpected break-ups. To see a more cherubic, cuddly and - let's face it - infinitely less entertaining Keane, click here.
4) On the subject of former Republic of Ireland internationals, Keane's old team entertain Italy this weekend in a crunch World Cup qualifier. Italy may be hot favourites, but a win for the Irish wouldn't be unprecedented in World Cup history, as this footage from the finals at USA 94 attests. Marvel at the tears of joy, marvel at Terry Phelan's facial expression, marvel at the American commentators referring to Ireland as "England" before describing Ray Houghton's shots as "a chipper".
5) We don't feature table tennis very often on Classic YouTube for fairly obvious reasons: because it's rubbish. At least that's what we thought until we saw this rally, followed by this wizardry. Finally, would the last two nerds with far too much time on their hands please turn off the lights.
6) Parental advisory alert! It may not be his mother tongue, but Heerenveen potty-mouth Christian Grindheim is able to tell this cameraman where to go in perfect English. Elsewhere, Sir Alex Ferguson gets a ticking-off for dropping the b-bomb, while an umpire gives former Baltimore Orioles coach Earl Weaver as good as he gets in a breathtakingly foul-mouthed tirade.
The best from last week's blog
1) English football's decidedly unimaginative pitch invaders could learn a thing or two from this bloke.
2) The title of this clip is "If You Watch 100 Times You Will Still Laugh". Whoever named it isn't exaggerating. We hope you like the pain.
3) Man on skis and under helmet-cam gets caught in avalanche. Scary stuff.
4) An innocent, fresh-faced young teenager who's just broken into the Scunthorpe first team does his first ever TV interview. His name? Kevin Keegan.
5) With two seconds left on the clock, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre, age 66, throws a miracle pass to stun the San Francisco 49ers.
6) If basketball players get three points for shooting a basket from "down town", how many do they get for scoring from the other side of a big house or halfway down a waterslide?

My internet connection is fine and I followed your above instructions to make sure no other apps are running. I am unable to download the episodes. Very frustrating. Please advise on what to do. I am playing on iPad 2
Can you please clarify what your downloading issue is? Can you see the download button, and start the download, but it's not finishing, or are you not given the option to download the episodes at all? If you are not seeing the 'Get' button, please try restoring your application by following this forum FAQ on restoring here:
No, it says "Owned" on the purchase screen and coming soon near the episodes. Every time I try to restore the purchases nothing happens. Then I tried to go through the Play screen and download that way and I get another screen that says " Unable to Download at this time, please try again later."
I also tried the methods suggested in the link u sent and it is still not working......
I am pretty much not being given the option to download at all, the Get button does not appear at all, even after following the instructions u have given me
If your Season One of Walking Dead is working fine, is the issue your experiencing that you can't download the episodes in Season Two? If so, please note that Episodes 2-5 are still in development, and have not been released yet.
I am also playing on iPad2 and have this same problem. The first time it got to 97% then gave me the "internet connection" error. I have tried at least twice a day since then, when no one else is using the internet, but still get the same message.. Mod, we see the "get" button on all of the episodes, and when we click on it it gives us that internet connection error message.. I have recently uninstalled/reinstalled the app. It is reinstalling now, I will post here after I see if it has worked.
Okay, so now it has deleted my load and it won't restore my purchases. I'm getting frustrated.
If you are having trouble restoring, please follow the instructions in this link:
If you have the episodes say 'Get' but the download isn't completing, please close the game and all other applications running in the background. This should free up necessary system resources. (To close an app running in the background on iOS 6 and before: double tap the home button to make all running apps appear at the bottom of the screen, hold down on an app you wish to close and red buttons will appear, tap the red buttons to close the apps. If on iOS 7, double tap the home button and swipe up on the open apps to close them)
Also, please turn off your iOS device for at least three minutes before attempting to play the game again. Then please make sure you are connected to a strong internet connection when attempting to download the episodes. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I prepaid for season 2 of The Walking Dead. I wanted to play it on my iPhone, which is where I played Season 1 and the 400 Days. I can't find an iOS version on this site to download, In the meantime I decuded to download the Mac version to play on my laptop. However, after downloading, I was unable to install because Ii received the message the file was from an unidentified developer. It's been 3 weeks, and I'd really like to play the game. HELP!?!??
If you are receiving the error message on a Mac computer, please disable Gatekeeper, as this may be preventing you from opening the file. To do this, click the Apple logo on the top toolbar and select System Preferences. Now select Security. If the padlock in the bottom left corner of this screen is not open, click on it. You will now see 3 options for downloaded applications, they are: Mac Store, Mac Store and identified developers, and Anywhere. Please select Anywhere and then confirm your selection. Then try installing the game again. Please note: To be on the safe side, please follow these steps again, and turn Gatekeeper back on after the game is finished installing.
I'm having an issue where I had season 1 downloaded on my iPad, I have an iPhone now, I can download the game and play the first episode but when I try and restore purchases it's asks for my Apple ID info then does nothing. I still have the game on my iPad but I can't get the whole game on my phone. Just wanted to go through it again before getting a season 2 ep2-5
If you are logged into the same Apple account that you originally purchased the game, you should be able to restore the app, and receive all of the episodes of Season 1 on the other phone. Please read over this FAQ for more info on making sure your iOS device can restore the game here:
What about an iOS version here? I only see a Mac, or a PC version available, and I'd really prefer to play on my iPhone. Although your suggestion about the Gatekeeper on my Mac worked like a charm. Thank you for that.
If you would like to purchase our game for an iOS device, they are available in the iTunes App Store for purchase/download either on your iTunes on your computer, or right from the App Store on your iOS device.
I've already paid $23 for the pre-order here.There was nothing in the pre-order information that said the versions that would be made avaikable would only be for Mac or PC. One would expect the source company to have all versions for sale. Apparently one would be wrong. I think it's an unfair practice to make me pay for the game again for the only version I really wanted. If someone could arrange to refund my pre-order payment, I'd be happy to go to iTunes and buy each episode as they are released for my iPhone.
I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We would be happy to refund you your order. Please contact/email our Support Staff at firstname.lastname@example.com for further assistance regarding this issue. After emailing our Support email, feel free to send me a personal message with the unique ticket number you receive from our auto response, and I will try to get your refund process expedited. (To send a Private Discussion, click on a Username, and click on Private Discussion on the left hand side of the page.)
So played ep 1 of the Walking Dead and loved. Bought the €17.99 pack with ep 2-5 + 400 days. However it doesn't download, restore button doesn't work. When I try to play Ep 2, it only gives me the option to buy it again for 4.49 when I click the get button. Tried deleting and reinstalling. Internet connection is fine and I'm not running any other apps. What's weird is that in the app store under in app purchases for the Walking dead, it doesn't just show the 17.99 purchase I did, but in addition to that 4.49 for every episode + another 13.99 for the ep 2-5 multipack. Sure hope you aren't charging 3 times for the same content. Which so far, doesnt work. Any help would be much appreciated!
I apologize for any difficulties you have run into. Please view our FAQ on restoring your purchased app in out iOS subforum here:
I have the same problem.i bought a multi-pack of 2-5 episodes and 400 days , my card withdrew the money, but the download episodes I can't. I want to get my money back.
Please view our FAQ on restoring your purchased app in our iOS subforum here:
If you are unable to restore your episodes, please reply back and I will attempt to assist you further. If you would rather inquire about a refund, please contact Apple Support for further assistance.

Duke point guard Kyrie Irving has decided ot hire an agent and enter the NBA draft, the school announced Wednesday.
Irving, who missed a majority of the Blue Devils' season with an injured toe, returned to action for the NCAA tournament before Duke lost to Arizona in the Sweet 16.
By hiring an agent, Irving removes the possibility that he could return to Duke after working out for NBA teams.
"I want to thank the entire staff at Duke, especially the coaches," Irving said in a statement from the school. "It was a great experience playing for Coach K. He taught me a lot about the game. Even when I was hurt, I learned a lot. ... Duke offered me an experience I could never have imagined."
Irving averaged 17.5 points and 4.3 assists for Duke in the 11 games he played. He is projected as a top-five pick in the NBA draft.
"This was a special year for me. I love everything about Duke and I'm going to miss it," Irving said. "Duke has a special place in my heart. Even though I'm leaving this year, Duke will always be in my mind and my heart. I'm going to miss putting on that No. 1 jersey."
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said the school is supportive of Irving's decision, despite it leaves the Blue Devils without one of its best players.
"Our whole program is overjoyed with having Kyrie here for one year and that he has the chance now to pursue a dream of being a high draft pick and a great player in the NBA," Krzyzewski said in a statement. "We are totally supportive of Kyrie, his family and his decision. We look forward to continuing to work with him during the upcoming months leading to his entry into the NBA and afterwards while he is an NBA player. He is a great young man, a terrific student, and a truly amazing representative for our program and for Duke. We love him and are very happy for him and his family."

Carl R. SCRIPTURE 1932-2012
September 27, 1932 ~ August 28, 2012
Retired Seattle Firefighter and Decorated Korean War Veteran. Carl is survived by his loving wife, Julia, and four grown children, Steven, Richard, Laura Ellis, and Michelle Matthews.
At 9, from Army Dependents housing, Carl heard and smelled the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Carl served with distinction in the US Army as a helicopter specialist, survived being shot down, and earned several medals. Upon settling in Seattle in 1958, he married and established himself as a "West Seattleite."
Carl worked for the Boeing Company. His skills as an aircraft mechanic earned him a place with the team that built the first 707, the famous "Dash 80." He later earned bonuses for his ideas to improve military weapons, such as the world's first supersonic anti-aircraft missile – the "Bomarc."
Carl won a job with the Seattle Fire Dept. in 1961. During his service to the City of Seattle he earned recognition for his hard work in firefighting and saving lives. As a trained Emergency Medical Technician he was an unsung hero who responded to many accidents and even a few urgent baby deliveries. All Seattle Firemen risk their lives in what is often perilous work and Carl Scripture was no exception.

Coalition troops in Afghanistan claimed they were given permission to enter Pakistan in pursuit of Taliban forces who had fired on their positions. They insisted Taliban mortar and artillery fire came from across the Pakistan border which required coalition forces to enter Pakistan in pursuit. A spokesperson for Pakistan General Wahead Arshad said: "There was no attack(by the Taliban), no firing from our side of the border. And, there was no permission asked by them or given by us."
One sometimes wonder who the Coalition forces are confronting, the Taliban or the Pakistan army. Apparently someone was firing on the Coalition troops. At some point there must be an agreement concerning the presence of the Taliban in Pakistan. Unless an agreement can be forged, there is scant hope of controlling the Taliban in Afghanistan.

No litter, no rules, no society scent,
Just peninsula pure soul content, ideally lent.
Awed and wowed with arms stretched wide,
I stand on Key's narrow road on narrow land,
Surrounded by two sea gems and their sand.
This dream road sea-drowns, down south's horizon
And thrills my innocence without even trying.
Western growth is dense and a fence in Gulf's yard.
Her wave's sirens are blue-salt diamonds
And I am mesmerized by their titan climbing.
East unfolds turquoise enchantments unmarred –
The playful, poetic Atlantic off guard,
Bewitching and hypnotic in regard.
Dazzled, I sit in the sea, shoulders deep.
Powder soft ocean floor thrones me nicely.
I could sit the day in this sea so sultry.
Flirty, allusive, emerald joys leap
As languid, luscious wet meets sun's glee,
Sending my senses high where memories keep.
These expressive ocean blues and greens
Are of patterns and ways, I have never seen.
Sensual and graceful, each sea touch is delight –
As soothing in feel as pleasure in my sight.
Before me spreads endless bounty of ocean glean.
Under Florida-kissed skies, I sit wet and serene.

A gondola floats o'er romantic tides
as you and I caress Venetian skies
laced deftly in exalted stars applied
by brushes dipped in hues of lover's eyes.
A kiss beneath Rialto Bridge in spring
feels like our first so many years ago.
On every breeze, O Sole Mio sings
a serenade in city lights aglow.
This hope of love rekindled miles from home,
could be our chance to dream and reminisce.
Enlightened by a full moon's wink, we'd roam
down Grand Canal in gleaming nights of bliss.
Our renaissance, a second honeymoon -
to Venice, we could not escape too soon.

A month in Hawaii, ah, what a luxury to share
Revel in the warming sun and walk a sandy beach
Fresh warm breeze and coconut in the salty air
Every day is marvelous, comfort never out of reach
Hiking through lush green forest with fruit hung all around
Or on the mountain top you see way out upon the sea
The fish an artist's pallet with colors they abound
To spend a month in Hawaii, ah, that's the treat for me

It's near midnight, whilst we moonlight walk
Palm tree lined fairway, Crickets singing
Hands clenched in loving vacationed talk
Hearts in wanting pound, Batangas is bringing
We, she and I, now amidst our intending lock
Serenity is the scene blessed by lunar watch
So late, but joyous we, soon our lips are speaking
Clouds now hover as we witness natures rain
Our apartment is distant, we welcome given
Through broken lunar light, stroking her mane
My hands in taken then, sensuously they're driven
Kiss me quiet is whispered, hearts now in reign
Walking, slowly walking, absorbing to us this night
Hearts in touching pound, Batangas has brought

We arrived at the airport quite late
My passport was months out of date
My husband was snappy
The baby filled its nappy
I just stood there and got quite irate
The pilot had been on the pop
On the runway he couldn't stop
He just missed a tree
Stopped off for a pee
Now his career is facing the chop
Our hotel was two star not four
Cockroaches crawled on the floor
We got a terrible fright
In the middle of the night
A tornado blew off our door

it was sizzling hot scorching blazing sweltering -
oh the unbearable heat (from the relentless sun above)
the sweat was rolling off me in sheets
(I was drenched in perspiration)
I was being pummeled by the sun I was clammy
(sticky and damp)
there was no cloud cover only a canopy
to provide shade
(my clothes were wet with moisture)
hair fell straight and damp
I kept brushing wisps from my face
it was steaming hot -
there had been no rainfall there was a drought
I was parched I was dreaming of cool water
of diving in and swimming and swimming
(into the coolness)
I wanted to escape to have an icy lemonade
to immerse myself in coolness
but the sun did not understand (it was unforgiving)
this is what I had wanted a vacation in the jungle
so here I was waiting
for the tour of the rainforest (to commence)
it did not help that I was having an affair
with a man ardent lustful erotic (and steaming hot)
he was the picture of coolness in his khaki shorts
(I was thinking of later)
finally we left the canopy (as the temperature soared)
and began the jungle trek the first thing I noticed
was the humidity it felt like steam was rising up
(under this new canopy of the rainforest)
there was a haze
a mist (it felt so sultry)
and the birds oh the birds calling so loud deafening
in the lush fauna so green and wet (dripping)
we hiked high above the forest floor
on a suspended hanging bridge (that swayed)
somewhere I heard a waterfall
it bubbled deep below oh I wished we could go there
(but no)
it was wonderful really with beautiful scenes
the conservation of animals amazing and plants wondrous
but I could not live in this
humidity yet M U S E liked it very much
she got very inspired the words kept coming and coming
her head filled with the scenery and sounds
she was on fire non stop words
the rainforest is full of treasures inspiration to behold
(it really was a great adventure)
in this steamy magical jungle and of course
the sizzling guy was very nice
(and )when we kissed later it was like fire blazing

I've been to every corner of this good old U.S.A.
From New York to Miami; from Seattle to L.A.
I've visited state parks from the east coast to the west
And many famous cities (San Francisco is the best).
But somehow in my travels, a few states I have missed.
So I have sat down tonight and made myself a list.
Cities I've not been to yet with sights I want to see
Lie in Arkansas and in the state of Tennessee.
In Arkansas my sister lives inside her lovely home,
And that state has some parts where I would like to roam.
Some day I must travel there, and see for my first time
Where Jenny lives (I must prepare myself for humid clime).
I've never been to Little Rock; I googled it to see
Attractions I could visit like the Clinton Library.
River Market District looks more interesting though.
Also there's a city zoo, a place I'd like to go.
But Memphis, east of Little Rock, is calling more to me.
With Jenny, I would travel two more hours leisurely.
We'd laugh and talk our whole trip through
Like as kids we always used to do.
What I most look forward to is certain to be grand:
Elvis Presley's mansion; I'll be going to Graceland!
Since Presley died, I've heard about this landmark for his fans.
I've longed to go, but hubbie always had his other plans.
This vacation I must have. I've talked to Jenny and
It's good to know I'd have with me my sister and good friend.
And maybe next we'd head down to the Gulf of Mexico.
That New Orleans is sure a spot I wish that I could go!

Three Sonnets tell a story, in sequence.
[From the narrative poem, "Don't Go to Wyoming Alone"]
I. Natural Instinct (Chivalric Sonnet)
He saves a wad of cash and designates
the stash to finance trek in far-off land
in hunting boots and custom gun he built
for me with love and hope for trophy grand.
"Is this a trip I've dreamed about?" I ask.
"Can I enjoy the hunt, savor the kill?"
I contemplate the danger in that land -
will heat, dry thirst and bugs defeat my will?
Might this be atmosphere I cannot stand?
Excitement builds as I heft gun with ease
and find the answer soon on target range
as my bull's eye displays my expertise.
Though I have no inborn instinct to kill,
my reason tells me not to waste this skill.
II. Lost Vacation
Our trip is planned, we'll soon be on our way,
he's called and found the perfect spot to stay.
The husband leads you out to hunt the wild
as room is cleaned, clothes pressed, wife cooks gourmet.
Alas, things change, his current bent is new.
While Mom and I go west without a clue
he flies the skies to satisfy desire
from Air Force days where first the hunger grew.
But circumstance forced him to stay aground,
our funds were tight and kept him budget bound.
Since children now are wed and off the corn
he's free to choose to play or bum around.
When we return from trek out west by train,
he's spent vacation cash to buy a plane.
III. New Dimension (Couplet Sonnet)
What fun we've had in years of golden age
as we, in freedom's row, our thirsts assuage.
We climb above the ground in utter glee
and view the earth below from Cherokee.
We join a pilot's group and meet new friends.
We travel now as time and space portends.
Each time we fly we bring two more because
two empty seats invite our friend's' applause.
But soon we build a smaller home down south.
I close my ears as words come out his mouth,
"The plane's for sale, I need a tractor now
to plow off snow and grade the road." It's how
our trip to Africa, in quickened time,
became a tractor. Surely, that's a crime.

The gate to Monet's Japanese garden's open,
beckoning, and green as Giverny's winter wheat,
but there's no time to glimpse the pond's lilies within.
Monet's Rose Cottage-locked to all but the wrens-
though curved trellises invite, and a path entreats;
the gate to Monet's Japanese garden is open,
but the tour bus's door closes, we can't go inside.
Deep within submerged, asleep, in their frosted retreat
but there's no time to glimpse the pond's lilies within.
Black skies sully the palette, a torrent begins
all hope lost in the thunder's accompanying beat.
The gateway to Monet's Japanese garden is open;
with a glance, we leave; we can say that we've been?
A dream sought, not found, Normandy's gem incomplete.
but there's no time to glimpse the pond's lilies within.
Accustomed to beauty, the plump driver's chagrined;
yet, he's kept to schedule; we've stayed in our seats.
The gate to Monet's Japanese garden is open,
but there's no time to glimpse the pond's lilies within.

"Baby, this view is fantastic,
Who knew what you could buy with plastic!
With these credit cards, unlimited funds,
Any regrets, heck no, baby I got none.
Riding on an interest rate of twenty percent,
Who cares, this is money well spent!"
Says the thief who stole my purse from the rest stop location,
One of the many tales of my no good, horrible road trip vacation.
Riding down I-seventy five, heading to Mackinaw Island for a getaway,
Me and my best boy beside me, taking an adventure, oh what a day.
Construction just north of Detroit, that scary van is stopped to our right.
Keeping my legs crossed, I might wet myself, will that be alright.
He gives me a smile with a crooked left tooth and a wave with two fingers
Push the gas pedal quick, the filthy dirty looks he is giving on me lingers.
Put the pedal to the metal and off we go, not slowing down for no one
Riding high in my seventy-three coupe de vile, the fun has just begun
Didn't see that State Trooper hiding behind that sign, just past Auburn Hills
Tried to out gun him with my 405, but he caught us just past the old mills
"Son you are in a heap of a mess, speeding like Ricky Bobby in Talladega
Two choices, let me have a spin with your gal or I'll haveta read you your
After twenty minutes, we sped off not even looking in the rear view mirror
Our vacation destination of Mackinaw Island was getting closer and clearer.
It was smooth sailing, so we thought, as the night was getting dark.
Find a hotel bed soon baby, we all are angst we missed our mark.
The sign said two miles to Holiday Inn, But it's already been nine.
Comin' up on us now is a big yellow Dead End road sign.
Down this dirt road we skimming across freshly grated dirt.
Could stop fast enough, deer crossing, don't worry none got hurt.
Baby this ride is exciting
That's what I'm supposed to be sayin'
But with my crosses on my neck,
All these issues, dang I'm just prayin'
Ridin' seventy five, with the wind in our hair.
I don't care how we do it, baby just get us there.
Finally arrived in Mackinaw City, getting ready to board Shepler's Ferry
The line was long, the lake waves were high, we were saying Hail Mary's
The winds picked up, the skies drew dark. a storm had come without warning
The ferry turned around, couldn't go there now, not until the next morning.
We stayed in a run down, worn out cabin on the edge of the great lakes
Wondering why these vacations always turn out to bring mistakes.
But then I look in your eyes and you look deeply into my mine.
And i know no matter where we go or what we do, everything turns out just

In Nineteen ninety-six, our son and wife, Majors
In US Army, moved to Izmir, their new base.
As usual, whatever place they were assigned,
We flew to visit them as well as dear grand kids.
So off we went to spend two weeks in Turkey, this
Outstanding country we had never been before.
So much to see at Ephesus—Metropolis
Of Antique Age; The Stadium, the Harbor Bath,
Basilica, the Marble Road, Heracles Gate—
All ruins now. Were sad to see these wondrous works
Of art and architecture now in disarray
And strewn about on fields on which they proudly stood.
Of varied striking sites in Pergamon, we saw
The City Walls, the Aqueducts, Acropolis,
The Temple Dionysus, that of Trajan too.
So many ages, periods had ruled this place,
Artistic wonders, structures turned to ruins—works
Of Persian, Greek, Roman and more, in pieces lay.
Besides the many ancient ruins visited,
We were amazed that many locals spoke our tongue.
They did their best to make us feel so much at ease,
Were gracious in combined Mid-Eastern/Euro style
Of hospitality and types of food they ate
And served, like cheese, tomatoes, olives of all kinds.
Izmir, a city mixed with culture old and new,
Like modern shops and open markets, outdoor stands
With fish and meats on ice, yet weighed on modern scales.
And women with fine breads on plates, held up on heads,
Who walked the streets in morning, dressed in peasant garb;
Yet working business women wore more modern dress.
We ventured to the famous city, Istanbul,
Surprised to see the many high-rise buildings there,
And streets so overcrowded with their vehicles;
Large offices and business centers everywhere—
Ladies with fashion boots, purses and western dress;
Big contrast with those living back in country hills.
Such history surrounds this ancient, distant land;
So many varied cultures ruled their sacred world.
Museums filled with artifacts from centuries,
Safe-guarded and in view to honor and behold.
This trip shall always hold such special, vivid thoughts
For us to cherish and remember for all time.
Of course our trip was nearly twenty years ago;
Are happy we had ventured then instead of now,
For times have changed; such unrest grows within our world.

A night in Venice (in sotto voce)
Moonlight shimmers over the Adriatic sea
Stars dancing on the waves in perfect symmetry
We talk of ancient adventure and gallantry
Masquerading dancers begin to fill the street
Smiling as they parade by, shuffling their feet
Unconsciously, we both are swaying to the beat
Inside the trattoria*, the music man plays
Vivaldi's concerto #4, in piano forte
We whisper murmurs of love in sotto voce*
As Casanova visions keep flooding my mind
Vivaldi's music syncopates in double time
Decoding my glances, your eyes begin to shine
We took a water taxi, back to the Hotel
We kiss under the Rialto bridge, passion swells
What we did the rest of the night, I'll never tell
Our night in Venice was a passionate affair
Put on your black dress and pearls, and take me back there.
*trattoria small dining establishment not a full menu like a restaurant
* sotto voce in an undertone, literally low voice (pronounced vo chee)

Turquoise Sea, Coconut Trees And Turtles
Pristine see through waters
Turtles slide by

They are my watch
In paradise with cracked coconuts

With her back to the world
Reality begins to fade
Eyes wide like a small girl
She slips into fantasy unafraid
Without the chattering of others
She listens to voices in every page
She's amazed as her heart flutters
Setting her up with each new stage
Yet I wonder where she is
In that whole other place
Yet I would not disturb this
Young beauty full of grace
For this place is not for everday chatter
It's for the worlds and adventures that matter

Join me in paradise
jostled loose from my dreams.
Journey to barefoot sands.
Jewels of turquoise gleam,
jaunting free in warm waves.
Jacaranda-kissed breeze
jogs memories of love.
Written 3/6/17 for J Pleiades Contest
Tourists season, it's the same old crowd.
They come out here once a year
year after year-
Hoping the sand and the waves
can mend their broken souls;
hoping to find something they lost
somewhere in their childhood.
They never will.
They never do.
Yet, they come back,
constantly searching for their lost paradise
buried somewhere under the whitecaps --
sunken dreams claimed by the sea.
They give us one week
before they go home,
with nothing but a sunburn --
and a credit card swipe at beachy seafood place.
Memories of putt-putt and hotel margaritas
carry them through, till next year.
Move outs on Sunday.
Don't forget your T-shirt.
Thoughts on watching the last of the year's tourists leave.
See you next year.

On Tour
To dive into the world of the great barrier reef would be enough
assimilating into the tranquil environment somewhere in the Capricorn
looking below while leaping merrily from a bluff
Like a babe in earth's womb, I am reborn.
Like a dart thrown on a map, may it land in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco
Among the snow-capped peaks, I'd breathe the air of eagles, frozen in awe
Wind whistling with legato, birds beneath quietly chirping their song in pizzicato
I would like nothing more than to remain here in this place, a place to withdraw.
Before I bounced from this terrestrial ball I'd have to party in Spain
One last hurrah flying first class to Ibiza
One last adrenaline rush, amped with red bull, taunting bulls with eyes bloodstained
One last expression from this American, perhaps a spending spree with a visa.
When the night has come and I should travel no more
Take me back home and bury me in earth's floor

The first big family vacation, it was all so new
Mom found a dream ranch, a so-called "dude"
The kids were so young, a daughter not yet two
Our son only four, wanting to ride with the crew
Rafting, riding, and a real Mountain Man too,
This vacation was a hit - who knew?
As the years go by, we've made many friends
But over time this special week transcends
As families grow, things change
It can't be helped, not really strange
Truth be told, our hearts aren't ready
To agree on a change, on that we're unsteady
Because memories are priceless, we'll soon not forget
The ranch rodeos, Fat-Bat baseball games, and the brunch ride silhouette..
Of our annual family picture on a mountain out West,
Every year showing our kid's growth, we are very blessed
It's not with sadness that I write about when this might end
For it will surely open up a new door or trend
For as long as your heart, your family, and your thoughts don't scatter
Where you go on vacation really doesn't matter
Beach, mountains, wherever, one really shouldn't mind
As long as you're together, the time spent can be sublime
Oh, there are gripes, moans, and argument; it's part of the quest
But I wouldn't miss it, for who would have guessed
That in time as with all things, it too will naturally end
As children grow up and add their family blend
But If our good fortune continues we'll be part of what's next
In the knowledge that our time together is a gift not a test

It's time to pack the rocket,
Because there's no need for cars.
For our first vacay,
That's as far away,
As the wonderful world of Mars.
Yes that's what the brochure said;
It's a wonderful world out there.
So grab the yout's,
And lunar boots,
But don't forget the extra air.
I'll always recall that first trip;
Starting with how to pack.
We stuffed the trunk,
Coz who woulda' thunk,
We couldn't bring a luggage rack.
Then we fueled her up with the good stuff,
To go fifty million miles.
Then I guffawed,
Let's send the in-laws,
But that made my wife hostile.
I told the kids to go to the bathroom,
Then they looked at me in a daze.
When they found out.
We'll be flying about,
Two hundred and fifty days.
There was one last major problem;
For a request we were afraid to hear.
Our son put us on the spot,
When he asked to bring Spot;
Not this time, he has to stay here.
Well that started the bellyaching,
That delayed us leaving the house.
"Will miss all our friends,
For who knows when?"
And that stuff was said by my spouse.
Thankfully calmer heads prevailed,
After toasting with some drink.
The kids didn't peep,
And my wife fell asleep,
Due to the added drugs, I think?
Take off was smooth as can be;
Frankly, it was a hoot.
Until I realized,
High up in the skies,
I didn't pack my bathing suit.
When the family finally woke up,
We were soaring close to the moon.
The kids both cheered,
Then said what I feared,
"Hey dad, will we be there soon?"
Well that was just the beginning,
There was more in store for me.
When one kid upchucked,
And the other one yucked,
"Hey dad, I got to go pee!"
Then my wife put in her two cents,
And asked if I'm driving all the way through?
I said we'll stop for the night,
On the next meteorite;
What did she expect me to do?
At last Mars came into our sights;
Talk about being out in the sticks.
They asked where we'll stay?
I said, to their dismay,
"This rocket doubles as a Motel Six."
We all agreed Mars was wonderful;
An exquisite planet in red.
We took pic's big time,
Then turned on a dime,
And flew back in uncomfortable beds.

There is a place so beautiful I'd love to see again.
My dream vacation started in Madrid, in central Spain.
How I long to stroll again down by Retiro Lake
and see El Prado art museum. Then for old time's sake,
I'd find some iced "horchata" down by Alcala Gate,
and later see Flamenco at a bar where folks stay late.
Come tag along with me as I remember old Castile.
We'll bring potato omelets in french loaves for our meal.
In any one direction, heading north, east, south or west,
is something quite amazing for your senses to digest.
A cross upon a peak is near the great Escorial.
And Avila, by Romans built, is circled by a wall.
Segovia, Toledo, and further by the sea,
lies Valencia. That's a place I want to be!
Try the calamares (squid). I like it best when fried!
Oranges abound and the paella's bona fide.
In March , through all Valencia there is a grand display:
people burning giant statues made of papier mache.
Northward are the Pyrenees, rugged, vast and green,.
Sheep in fields, refreshing clime, and villages serene.
There's bustling Barcelona if we journey up the coast.
Farther west, along a bay in Galicia, I like most
a place named San Sebastian, a very lovely town.
It has some trees with tops like cute umbrellas upside down.
Last, to Don Quixote's Andalucia -south let's drive
where for centuries the moors' enlightenment could thrive.
Cordoba, Granada, and Seville we have to visit.
The mosques with marbled columns at Cordoba are exquisite.
Granada has a palace like none you've ever seen.
The ornate rooms and gardens were fair pleasures for a queen.
Malaga I never saw, but if ever I should go
back to Spain, that's a beach I really want to know.
So many different nations arrived on Spanish shores:
Greeks, Phoenicians, Visigoths, Carthaginians, Celts and Moors.
Iberia is fascinating. Its diversity
is so enchanting, it's the best vacation spot for me!

Fourth of July meant summer vacation road trips
Sun and fun amusement parks and the beach
Flip flops and freckles carefree slow days like pouring cold honey
Fast and forever friends were found around the corner
New discoveries found due to a natural curiosity
Sea Shells, sea creatures and sand castles
young adventurers like westward homesteaders
We had life by the tail, no fear we new infinity
We believed we were untouchable
This little island was our haven and we explored like we were owners
Palm trees and tall grass was different than our everday tall oaks at home
Vacation was once per year no time to stop for necessities
Blistering sun on tender fair skin
Marinate my flesh in sunscreen
Daddy would laugh and play like he was a king
Mama didn't seem to mind as much on vacation our summer fling

Artist biography
Alexandra Orme is currently undertaking a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Photo Media) at the Australian National University. She is an aspiring photographer who is interested in exploring the similarities and differences between actions, objects and people. In the future she would like to broaden her artistic practice and integrate her photography into other mediums such as sculpture and screen-printing.
Artist statement
Front Line is an installation piece which focuses on the young men who fought with the 39th Battalion at Kokoda. Many of these soldiers were only eighteen and were never to return home.
The viewer is invited to open the archive folder and, while exploring the documents, to listen to the voices of the enlisting soldiers and personally engage with the people behind the handwriting, photographs and voices.
Front Line is composed of elements of the past and present. It does not just pay homage to the deceased but asks the viewer to think about young soldiers enlisting and fighting in war today.
Artist work
Title: Front Line
Medium: mixed media
Date: September 2011
Artist inspiration
My motivation for this work came from my interest in the Damien Parer exhibit and his film Kokoda Front Line! I am fascinated by war and the people involved, and was interested to find that most of the soldiers that served in the 39th Battalion in Kokoda were only eighteen. The discovery of my great grandfather's World War Two documents along with his photograph aided the development of the work as it allowed me to glean a little of who he was and this stirred me to make documents of my own.

Inside the Huddle: Maryland School for the Deaf
This is what winning sounds like. But to the those who play football at the Maryland School for the Deaf, they don't hear winning. Instead, they feel it. And that winning feeling is something MSD has worked towards for years.
Senior Quarterback, Jad Gore, said, "We eat, sleep, and bleed football. We sleep with our footballs. We think football."
"We want to show that we can play football like anybody else can. The only thing is, we can't hear," said Head Coach, Joshua Doudt.
Not only can the Orioles simply play the game, but they have built a dynasty, winning the Deaf National Championship an incredible ten times in the past 12 seasons.
Doudt says he doesn't think of being deaf as having a disability. "We don't look at deafness, meaning 'I can't.' I teach the players that, 'I can.' Football parallels with life. We become better people, and it helps their self-esteem to grow. They become confident, and they know what they can do."
Gore mentions, he's seen his fair share of ridicule. "There's some schools when we play against them, they get highly irritated, highly angry, if they lose to a deaf school. You know, we don't worry about that."
And the Orioles don't have time to worry about what others think. Most times they're busy letting the scoreboard do the talking.
"I think the best part is, by the end of the season, how much they have grown, from boys to men. They really have accomplished a lot. That is really inspiring to me," said Doudt.
"It's an honor to be in this program. Nothing can replace the experience. I mean, I've been here all through my high school experience. There's nothing that could replace that. The winning, the feeling... yeah, it's my second family out there on the field," Gore said affectionately.
So while the Maryland School for the Deaf may not be able to hear the ovations from the stands or even from their teammates, their impact on the game of football and on others, comes in loud and clear.

Monash University jazz students have lent their music skills to three new international collaborative albums.
The albums, the first three in theMonash Sessions collection, feature performances by Monash University music students, along with legendary Brazilian musician Hermeto Pascoal and New York tenor saxophone jazz giant George Garzone.
Head of the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music, Associate Professor Rob Burke said the release of the Monash Sessionsalbums was the result of some of the world class performance opportunities the School provides its students.
"To play and record with the likes of Hermeto Pascoal or George Garzone, gives our students exposure to a diverse and challenging range of learning experiences," Associate Professor Burke said.
"The students played an important role in the recording and rehearsal process whilst being mentored – a once in a lifetime opportunity."
Hermeto Pascoal: The Monash Sessions was recorded when Mr Pascoal and his band were artists in residence at the Sir Zelman Cowan School of Music and features some of the finest musicians in Australia and students from the jazz studies program at the University.
"It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the students – being mentored by one of the most important current day musicians in the world," Associate Professor Burke said.
George Garzone: The Monash Sessions was the culmination of Mr Garzone's residency at Monash in 2011 when he rehearsed with several of the School's jazz ensembles and big band.
"The School has forged a strong relationship to George. He has toured throughout Australia on numerous occasions and has always included workshops and performances with Monash music students in his busy schedule," Associate Professor Burke said.
"George's mentorship of the Monash students resulted in an incredible insight into the creative processes of an artist at the forefront of improvised music," Associate Professor Burke said.
Jazz in New York: The Monash Sessions features the 2012 collaboration between students from Monash University's Jazz and Popular Studies program and the New York University's Jazz Studies program.
The Monash Sessions program provides wonderful opportunities for students including international prospects, master-classes and mentoring," Associate Professor Burke said.
The three CDs recently received a four-star rating in The Australian.
Further recordings, including sessions with Italian jazz musician Enrico Rava and Australian performances with Vince Jones are scheduled for 2014.

4 Great Tools for Stretching and Mobility
As a fitness coach I am constantly talking to my clients about the importance of stretching and working on mobility. These are not necessarily the "fun" things to practice when it comes to your health and fitness, but they are important not only for your athletic performance, but for your ability to be an independently functioning human being for as many years as possible. Things like having full range of motion in your joints, the prevention of soft tissue injuries, and even just being able to touch your toes could mean the difference between living on your own and living in a nursing home.
Maybe you are new to working on your flexibility or maybe you understand the importance of it and you have even been stretching regularly, but you want to take it up a notch – what are some tools you can use to help you stretch and become more mobile? Here is a list and be forewarned, these tools may not feel good while you are using them, but you will feel better afterward!
Lacrosse Ball
Have you ever had a massage from a therapist who just dug in and pressed hard on one spot at a time? Or maybe you have been to a therapist who specializes in "myofascial release?" You can accomplish the same thing at home with a lacrosse ball.
Fascia is the layer of tissue in our bodies, between the layers of muscles and other connective tissues, which can get gummed up over time and with lack of movement. These sticky spots feel like tight areas and painful spots. Pressing a lacrosse ball into those spots, laying on it, or rubbing it into those areas can be helpful in releasing the fascia. I use my lacrosse ball to rub out tension in my neck and trapezius muscles. You can also tape two of them together and lie on them to work on the muscles in your lower back on either side of your spine.

gimetzco wrote:the creation of this design came from a failed project that i was working on for a friend of mine. he wanted something retro. the best era to pull retro from for me is Midcentury (think disney's sleeping beauty era but in print). The stars and shape of the blob in the background are nods to this style, as well as the "cruddy" line work in various places. the limited color use is also a nod to the mid century style.
this project was web based and not initially intended to be a shirt. but when i was finished and the artwork rejected, i decided that it was a good enough to be on a shirt! so here it is.
note: i don't recall ever seeing the Hot Topic Mass produced shirt. believe what you will, though.
I believe you have your answer, mllemeranii
mllemeranii wrote:I hear you on that, but still. Mass produced. I find that even more iffy than something similar to another dedicated shirt site.
On the other hand, mass produced also means "simple idea". It is rare that a mass produced piece ever was based on a totally awesome, unique concept. It's normally branding and simplicity that doesn't challenge the masses. Since woot has an even simpler base than even hot topic has, it's unsurprising they'd select shirt art for similar reasons.
Also, I personally ignore mass-produced tees. I take note of product tees (bands, retro memorabilia, etc) because they tell me where they fit. I take note of tee shop shirts, like woot or threadless or the like, because they're a collection. But when it comes to generic grunge apcray, or unfunny graphics and slogans, or brands, they all blur to me. It's not to say the two aren't similar, but is to say that there's so much uninteresting clothing out there that it blurs out and fades away. Mass produced by and large becomes all the more forgettable. It's like when you hear a song on the radio that you know, but can't remember the artist or title.
Finally, one depressing truth about woot is that it's rare that an "analog" shirt has ever gotten a tee rejected for "similar shirts". While it's true that derbies and dailies have different rules (for which I am largely grateful), lack of concern for similar shirts not for sale through a website has long been in the woot MO.
That all said, I think we can all agree that this would have been way better if it was Free Kittens

Warm up your holiday party with an Indian-inspired buffet—a tame one that's rich in flavor but not too fiery. There's an art to creating a workable buffet. For people to eat comfortably while standing or seated with their plate on their laps, the host must devise a menu that can be eaten without a knife. And buffet finger foods don't work for me: I can't clean my fingers and still hold the plate comfortably.
For me, the best buffet is one that requires only a fork, no other utensils, and is perfectly seasoned, without the need for added salt and pepper. This column's menu meets my requirements of the perfect buffet: these "fork only" foods are bite-size, easy to eat, exotically seasoned but not overwhelming, complement each other in look, texture and taste, and are all makeable in advance. They also keep well on the table without losing quality, warmed by a chafing dish or heated trivet.
The curry fills the house with the sultry aromas of the Spice Islands—ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and black pepper. Accompany it with the festive hues of golden saffron rice and a minty, shredded pale green salad. If desired, mini-pita breads or pita-bread chips can round out the meal, and some choice nibbles like curry-toasted pecans and cucumber spears with lime juice and chile powder can keep your guests munching until the buffet is served.
Fred McMillin, who writes our On Wine column, picks a few wines for the India buffet...whites and reds that are not too severe. Click on a wine name to learn more.

News Media Feature USC Libraries' Archival Photos of 1933 Griffith Park Fire
The recent deaths of 19 firefighters in Arizona prompted many news outlets to recall a 1933 fire in Los Angeles' Griffith Park that claimed the lives of 29 firefighters. Major television networks, including NBC News, featured photos from the USC Libraries' Special Collections in their coverage. The images appear 2:42 into Miguel Almaguer's report for the NBC Nightly News and 0:43 into Elex Michaelson's report for ABC7's Eyewitness News. Writing about wildland fire history, KCET columnist Char Miller also featured a photo of Griffith Park conflagration—"one of the nation's most deadly wildland fires"—from the USC Libraries' Los Angeles Examiner Collection. Click through for more archival photos of the 1933 disaster.

Along the way, you'll be on a raft, on dry land and on the wrong side of the fence. The only thing to do is pack your bag, stuff your friend into a trunk and let this new work Wash Over You.
