Hit The Ground Running is an article series by Jay "Viscant' Snyder.
This week we're going to talk about finding tech videos and how to prioritize using them in order to make the most of our practice time. Our community has improved so much in this regard, people put a lot of effort into making the videos and production quality and quality of information has improved by leaps and bounds over the past few years. It's easy to take them for granted until you realize that during the beginning of the MvC2/CvS2/3s era, they didn't even exist!
In the old days your only way of getting new tech was having access to top players. In the old days we also had to walk 10 miles to the arcade. Up hill. In the snow. Both ways. But seriously one of the main reasons I was good at games then was because I grew up in Southern California and was driving distance away from multiple top arcades including Southern Hills Golfland, probably the best fighting game arcade in the whole US. The process of getting tech in those days was just being able to play against guys like Alex Valle, Mike Watson and James Chen and leeching off of them. There really was no shortcut to improving your game in those days; if you didn't have access to good arcades and good players, improving on your own was near impossible. Even if you were creative enough and resourceful enough to come up with ideas on your own, you couldn't come up with ideas for every character or get matchup practice by yourself.
In the modern era though, access to good tech is much more equal. If anything we have the opposite problem now. Instead of the average person having no access to good tech, now the problem is having tech everywhere. How do we find the most important tech? How do we prioritize what to work on first? How do we make sure we don't miss out on anything important?
Sources and Priority
Luckily we have a lot of excellent resources out there that aggregate content. My main sources for finding tech are shoryuken.com, eventhubs.com, reddit and Twitter. The most important things will probably filter through one of these. I make a point of checking the front page of SRK and Eventhubs once a day and browsing the front page of /r/streetfighter and /r/kappa fairly often also. If it's really noteworthy, it'll probably show up there. I also try to check the character forums on SRK for characters I'm particularly interested in.
Twitter is also particularly useful for FGC related content. Almost all of the content providers are active on twitter and by following the right people you get a chance to listen in on a lot of conversations between high level people. The blowups are entertaining too! Also as a general rule you should subscribe to people who routinely provide good content on youtube.
That's the easy part. If you're reading this, you probably browse these sources already or are at least aware they exist. The harder part is categorizing the flood of information. Everyone has their own method of categorizing. I use Excel because I work in accounting and I live on Excel anyways so I figure I might as well use it for my hobbies. Top sheet is for general tech, stuff that applies to all characters. I think this is the most important thing to stay current on, universal tech about the general engine. Second sheet is for character specific tech regarding the characters I'm most interested in. Third sheet is for characters I don't play and don't have a lot of interest in. This is lowest priority. If I have time I'll take a look, but other videos are more important, especially at the beginning of the game.
Due to the nature of the tech that comes out, I generally spend the bulk of my time on second sheet videos. First sheet videos are things that get internalized quickly. When it comes to the general engine of the game, once I have it down I've got it and I don't need to keep going over it. Character specific tech usually takes a lot more time. I'm much more critical about videos for characters I actually play; if I'm going to use this stuff in real matches I need to understand the videos from every angle. Understanding the concept isn't enough, I need to know everything. Third sheet videos I either don't have time to explore in depth or just don't care enough. Time for examples. Every video I'll show to you I found from either the front page of reddit /r/streetfighter, the front page of SRK or the front page of Eventhubs over the past couple weeks.
General videos
This video by Smash and Grab details how v-trigger affects damage scaling. To summarize, a cancel into v-trigger will advance the damage scaling by 10%. This is first sheet material because it's universal. But it raises interesting questions about the max damage combos that I've been doing so after watching this, I spent some time in training mode just messing around to make sure I'm not costing myself damage. A couple of examples.
For Karin the max meter combo I've been using was jump in roundhouse, standing roundhouse, v-trigger cancel, standing fierce, just frame tenko, 4 hit rekka into critical art for 531 damage. After watching this I decided to take a look at simpler combos and compare the damage. For example, jump in roundhouse, standing fierce, strong ressenha into critical art is a much simpler combo and it does 489 damage. The difference is 43 points, about as much as 1 standing short. In the first combo damage from the critical art is at the minimum 50% and in the second one the critical art scales at 70%. Usually max meter punishes are done to end a round or a match so I should still be doing the first combo, but it's close enough that this makes me evaluate my damage in non-lethal situations. The ability to cancel normals into v-trigger later in the match is worth more than the 43 damage to me, especially given context. If I blew my full super meter and had access to v-trigger and they're still alive, I've probably got a big comeback to make and I'd rather have access to v-trigger than 43 damage.
The difference is even less with other characters. Max damage punish with claw on Vega off a jumpin with no v-trigger would be jump fierce, standing fierce, jab aurora spin edge into critical art for 480 damage. The max punish using v-trigger is jump in fierce, standing fierce, de-claw, low strong, v-trigger, into critical art for 484 damage. In this case the v-trigger isn't worth it at all; even the chip from a blocked v-trigger later in the match will do more than 4 damage.
So this video taught me to consider how I best use my resources and reminded me to check damage more closely. Useful to know and I'm glad I came across this video.
Character specific
Even though it's early in the game, I've had to narrow my character selection down a bit in order to make the flood of tech coming in more manageable. For now I'm concentrating on Karin, Vega, Bison and Chun-Li. I love Zangief and have fun with him every time I play and I've already put a huge amount of time into Birdie but I can't "main" half the cast. Keeping my character selection down to a reasonable amount will allow me to spend more time on the tech that comes in. Here are a few examples of character specific tech videos along with ways I plan to get more than just face value out of them.
This video is from Daily Dot Esports and Danke. It shows a few of the things that Vega can v-reversal through, things generally safe on block like Nash EX moonsault slash or Chun-Li EX lightning legs. On the surface this seems to be pretty straight forward. The video provides examples. Memorize them. Done! Not quite.
That's just the beginning. This video serves both as instruction at face value and proof of concept and it's a concept that I haven't really been using in the matches I've played so far with Vega. I've been using my v-meter almost exclusively as a combo extender and a damage dealer. As seen with the first video we looked at there are times when I should hang onto my meter and use it for v-reversals instead. So on top of just memorizing the situations that Danke gave, I should test out other moves and strings that are safe on block and see what I can find. This is important. This changes matchups.
This video comes from ScDrPain who's been busy so far making tech videos, he also had a really good one for Ken and one for Nash as well. This one is about Bison okizeme using the EX psycho spark after finishing a combo with the psycho inferno. This is important to get down because it's one of the few setups where Bison can create strike vs. throw pressure and as an added benefit the most common strike is going to be the standing roundhouse which creates a crush counter and max damage.
Since this is for a character I play, I need to maximize this. ScDrPain outlined all the common wakeup options, staying down, quick get up and back roll. Since the options for back roll and quick rise are best for the defender I need to spend most of my time on these options in training mode, testing the most common things that opponents are doing to me online and seeing how I can best deal with them.
One thing I did notice is that in all the secondary setups that use psycho axe, it's roughly at the right distance to cancel into v-trigger and get a mixup on straight dash or crossup dash. Most of the time Bison v-trigger dash is only technically a "mixup" since he'll always go in front or always go behind. Like roundhouse scissors canceled to v-trigger into a dash. That's not really a mixup, he always goes behind and eventually people will catch on. Finding pre-canned setups that are ambiguous is really important to me if I'm going to make progress with this character. That wasn't even the point of the video but just playing around with it a bit put another tool in my arsenal. That's an example of how a good tech video can be the beginning of the learning process, not the end.
Since this video is out there and common knowledge, if I'm going to use it I want to spend time on it creating a second level to the mixup. This is one of the downsides of really good tech videos; since they spread you can be sure after some point that your opponent knows exactly what you're doing. This one already has 30,000 hits and I notice in the past few days opponents have been dealing with this setup well. I need to be ready to counter their counter if I'm going to get the most out of this setup.
This video is from Floe, a frame trap with Karin off her bread and butter combo. The theory behind this is that on standard wakeup or quick wakeup, she's +1 on block allowing her to counter hit the opponent mashing jab or mashing throw. This is especially good because held v-skill is usually negative on block so this is the kind of setup that will almost always work on someone the first time they see it.
Okizeme setups like this take a lot of time to truly internalize and this one is especially hard because of the nature of the setup. Karin's bread and butter combo has different heights, meaning that if you mistime the chicken kick ender on the juggle that the opponent will wake up at a different time. Since the advantage we're looking for is 1 frame, even a slight mistiming will ruin the setup. Also while playing around with it, apparently back rolls will get out of the way of her held v-skill and allow the opponent to escape the mixup.
For characters that I don't really care about, that's about as far as I would go. Back rolls beat the setup, on to the next. But since Karin is a character that I care about and want to maximize I want to go deeper. Most of the other setups discovered so far off the same starter (tenko into chicken kick ender) are dependent on how the opponent chooses to wake up so there is definite value in training an opponent to predictably back roll. Also not to be ignored is that this setup builds v-trigger meter, meaning that if I'm close to getting the meter, a setup like this is something that I'd really like to have.
So even though it has a counter, this is still useful to my overall game so I'm glad I came across it. It's not a one stop solution to okizeme, but it's another tool to go in the kit.
And speaking of time to internalize, this is a really important Chun-Li video by Kararesu. It's only 3 minutes long but it's very information dense. There's SF4 style safe jump setups off her crush counter sweep that even safe jump a shoto uppercut, a crossup/fake crossup setup involving the v-skill and a few neat v-trigger juggles.
This video is a good example of why it's hard to stay current with the whole cast. There's almost too much information in here and I'll probably spend a few hours just going over the concepts in this video. For example the headstomp setups in the video are spacing dependent. It's not enough just to watch and parrot the setup exactly, I need to know what range I can adjust the setup to be an effective crossup. I need to practice both the normal safe jump and the empty jump low. I need to see what I can add to make it more effective. These setups Kararesu showed are great but like with the other videos, a good tech video is a starting point, not an ending point. All of this takes time, but it's worth it in the long run.
Third sheet
Now we're starting to get to things that are less important to me to fully understand. This video comes from akaRLBS and it's about setups that Nash gets in the corner after a throw. Last week when talking about the throw mechanic in general we talked about how sometimes when you get thrown, that's not the beginning of the mixup, that's the end. In corners that's not really the case and as this video shows, against Nash in corners, you really need to respect him. The low fierce is +3 in a neutral situation so even if the low fierce is mistimed and it's not meaty, he STILL has big time advantage on his next move.
Since the characters I'm playing in this game at this point don't really have reversals that don't cost meter, basically the lesson I can learn from this is to respect the throw and to highly prioritize blocking multiple buttons after getting thrown. This setup definitely has use for me and I've learned something from watching it but breaking it down even further is something I can only do if I have the time. I COULD break down all my options after the low fierce. Like if he goes for low fierce, stand strong on block, then I have room for jabs since he's neutral after the strong. But if he does low fierce, step forward low jab, I still have to block. This is all useful information to know and knowing it will make me better but I can only get to this AFTER I've cleared all the things above on the spreadsheet. Instead of learning one setup that will help me improve in one match, it's a better use of my time to learn other things first.
And finally we get to the lowest priority. This is a video by Bebopaloobop, a Ken option select against Dhalsim. It's a well made video and I imagine it would be really useful in the matchup but it's specific to a character I don't play against another character I don't play. I'd like to sit down and figure out exactly how it works and maybe if the other side could bait it but it's the lowest priority on my list. Videos like this involving characters and matchups that aren't essential to me have to be put on the back burner while I'm trying to improve quickly.
That's all for this week, next week we're going to talk about online play and learning from losses. See you then!

List of Jiminy Cricket educational serials
|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (July 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Jiminy Cricket serials
|Created by
|Bill Walsh
Hal Adelquist
Walt Disney
|Cliff Edwards (voice)
|Country of origin
|United States
|No. of episodes
|Running time
|8 minutes
|Original network
Disney Channel
|Original release
|1955– 1959
This is a list of all four Jiminy Cricket educational serials that originally aired on The Mickey Mouse Club TV series. The serials feature Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio's conscience, providing general education and science information in an entertaining and accessible manner. The serials also have a strong focus on the importance of books and learning on one's own. The I'm No Fool and You series were later updated in the 1980s and 1990s as stand-alone shorts, and were shown in schools and occasionally on the Disney Channel.
I'm No Fool series[edit]
Each short is less than 10 minutes in runtime and begins and ends with the theme song, "I'm No Fool", with the lyrics to the closing number reworked to include the lessons taught during the short. Jiminy presents each hypothetical situation by drawing chalk outlines of the primary participants (usually a stereotypical, Family Circus-esque American boy) on a black board. The drawings then come to life and get into various questionable situations, with Jiminy steering them in the right direction.
- I'm No Fool With A Bicycle (10/06/55)*
- I'm No Fool With Fire (12/01/55)*
- I'm No Fool As A Pedestrian (10/08/56)*
- I'm No Fool with Water (11/15/56)*
- I'm No Fool Having Fun (12/15/56)
- I'm No Fool with Electricity (10/?/1973)*
- I'm No Fool in Unsafe Places (1/?/1991)
- I'm No Fool on Wheels (1/?/1991)
- I'm No Fool with Safety at School (1/?/1991)
- I'm No Fool in a Car (3/?/1992)
- I'm No Fool in an Emergency (3/?/1992)
- I'm No Fool in Unsafe Places II (3/?/1992)
(*) = Updated in the mid to late 1980's with additional live-action footage
You and Your series[edit]
Similarly to the I'm No Fool series above, Jiminy Cricket teaches children about the human body.
- You - the Human Animal (10/20/55)
- You - and Your Five Senses (12/15/55)*
- You - and Your Eyes (11/07/56)*
- You - and Your Food (4/18/57)
- You - the Living Machine (5/01/57)
- You - and Your Ears (10/03/57)
- You - and Your Sense of Touch (1964)*
- You - and Your Sense of Smell and Taste (4/01/77)
(*) = Updated in the mid through late 1980's with additional live-action footage
Nature of Things series[edit]
Jiminy Cricket teaches children about the animals of nature, in a similar manner to the I'm No Fool series. This series also had live-action footage lifted from True-Life Adventures, this series was also known as Animal Autobiography, generally these had only intro sequence featuring Jiminy Cricket, the rest was live-action of real Animals.
- Animal Champions (10/13/55)
- Cansdale (10/27/55)
- The Camel (1/26/56)
- The Horse (10/23/1956)
- The Elephant (11/01/56)
Encyclopedia series[edit]
Jiminy Cricket teaches children how to spell, also in a similar manner to the I'm No Fool series. The series had a catchy theme song from which many children learned to spell "encyclopedia", possibly inspired by Paul Whiteman's novelty hit, "C-O-N-S-T-A-N-T-I-N-O-P-L-E".
- Cork and Wheelwright (11/01/56)
- Milk (11/26/56)
- Tuna (12/27/56)
- Railroads (2/19/57)
- Steel (4/26/57)
- Curiosity (1956)
The following Mickey Mouse Club Newsreel Specials were aired under the Encyclopedia banner but didn't feature Jiminy Cricket.
- Uranium Hunt (10/30/57)
- Cormorant Fishing (12/27/57)
- Roaring Midgets (1/20/58)
- Shipyards (1/20/58)
- The Lobster Story (1/20/58)
- Shooting the Rapids (1/20/58)
- Geisha Girl School (????)
Educational film[edit]
In 1984, Disney Educational Inc. produced a film called Jiminy Cricket, P.S. (Problem Solver) which recycles animation from other classic Disney shorts. The film was 10 minutes long, and also stars Goofy, Donald Duck, and Ludwig Von Drake. It was originally released on VHS[1][2]

I decided to try a DashMat for my 2016 CTS sedan. The color was a great match for the interior, and the texture of the limited edition seemed to compliment the more upscale interior components. Easy to install and it fit great. Nice, soft backing that won't hurt the dash. Sewing on the edges make it lay a bit funny at the spots that weren't sewn exact, but overall it seems like a great choice and value.

Sales Restriction, Quality Selection and the Mode of Competition
A regulator imposing "sales restrictions" on firms competing in oligopolistic markets may enhance quality provision by the firms. Moreover, for most restrictions levels, the impact on quality selection is invariant to the mode of competition.

Rupert Wyatt has moved into pole position on 20th Century Fox's Planet of the Apes prequel. No start date, but Wyatt's come aboard to develop to direct. Script's by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. Wyatt last directed The Escapist.
Rupert Wyatt Monkeying With Fox Prequel?
15 Comments
This sounds like a horrible idea. I just can't picture what a prequel would be about.
Pole position?
Yep. It's a racing term referring to the most favored starting position. It's entered the lexicon as an idiom referring to a favored position or position of advantage in general. But the spelling is "pole" as Mike corrected it since it refers to the pole on the inside at the starting line. And there is probably more than you wanted to know about that bit of trivia. LOL.
Prequel? What the hell does that mean? Can it be a prequel to the making of the recent Planet of the Apes movie? Can we see why Mark Walberg got the part? Was it because he could yell his lines? Can we see the 8 hour make up sessions of all those talented actors where they are made unrecognizable? Will we get the moment when all those actors realize what a horrible mistake they made?
THAT I will pay to see.
It's essentially a remake of CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, telling the story of how apes came to rule over man. Word is the Scott Frank script was loaded with social commentry- just like the original. Of course, Fox is …"uncomfortable" about that, so goodbye Scott Frank. Damn shame that Fox didn't learn from the Burton Fiasco- POTA without social commentary ISN'T POTA at all.
I read it when it was called GENESIS: APES and it was fucking phenomenal, one of my favorites. Here's my logline for those wondering what it's about:
A chimp changed by an experiment that makes him smart is raised by humans but ends up being imprisoned after attacking a man. The chimp leads a rebellion against his human captors and figures out a way to unleash a virus that kills all humans.
This was the 14 September 07 draft — from what I've heard, it's changed appreciably, but I'd bet the concept has remained. You think it's gonna be SPARTACUS meets EVERYWHICH WAY BUT LOOSE. It's way more than that. I've never been a huge Jaffa/Silver fan, but there are two moments in that script that sent chills down my spine. The first was the moment when Caesar, the lead chimp, stands up on his hind legs and speaks for the first time. It's shocking. The second moment is the final shot, which I won't spoil.
Planet of the Apes reboot, again?
Prequel.. to the original series or the Tim Burton reboot?? Sequel to the original movie of the original series or an extension of the series…? I didn't bother with the reboot so maybe there's something worth prequeling about … but all in all.. up there with the multiple Wizard of Oz movies and the Gilligans Island reboot. Is there no creative thought in Hwood? (although I guess I and others ask this same comment again and again so apparently there's no there's no original thought in complaints either!) :)
Can someone please tell Mike F that he no longer works at Variety, and those kitschy headlines are no longer necessary and totally obnoxious? You're a great reporter but jeez, dude, lay off the cheese.
yeah I get pretty angry about puns too, I think Variety invented them
At least the headline doesn't say that Fox is 'going ape' for a "POTA" prequel…
What the headline should read is that Fox is "going bananas" over a "POTA" prequel…
Whatever happened to Scott Frank's Caesar? I knew he was off the project, but is Fox going back to an earlier (?) Silver/Jaffa script?
P.S. There is absolutely no way Conquest could adequately be remade today by Fox (the best in the series, in my opinion). It is way too (obviously) political for any studio to gamble on.
P.P.S. I'm still mad at Tim Burton for screwing up its chances at a proper re-imagining.
The story actually sounds good. This has the potential to kickstart a new Planet of the Apes franchise, even if the plan is to lead the prequel into the 1968 original.
There is room out there for another apes movie. Something new. The POTA brand has, and always will, have a 'racial' and political element to it. Are we there today? Do we need that? People like monkeys. Why not an apes movie where the next step in 'simian' evolution captures a new audience? Wait, no, I got it. In 3D!

The English Football Association has launched an investigation after an assistant referee was struck by a firework during Tottenham's Premier League game at Aston Villa.
Police also confirmed two men were arrested after David Bryan, who was running the line in front of Spurs fans, was hit by a smoke bomb thrown from the visiting supporters' section at Villa Park.
The incident occurred amid the celebrations after Andros Townsend had opened the scoring for Spurs in the 31st minute.
The restart was delayed as the smoking missile was removed but Bryan was unharmed and able to continue.
An FA spokesman said: "The FA will investigate this matter, which is unacceptable. We will await the match officials' report and will be speaking to the clubs.
"Such incidents highlight the dangers of pyrotechnics being used in a football stadium."
Police officers and stewards moved in to remove supporters from the away fans' section, which is housed in the Doug Ellis Stand.
West Midlands Police later confirmed two men had been arrested in relation to the incident, which was also captured by television cameras.
"Police have arrested 2 men after a lit flare was thrown on the pitch during the Villa v Spurs game – the flare hit a linesman," a statement, released via Twitter, read.
"The two men aged 25 and 47 were arrested following the incident at Villa Park, fortunately the linesman wasn't injured."
Tottenham went on to win the match 2-0 with a further goal from Roberto Soldado.
Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas condemned the people responsible.
He said: "Obviously it is not great to see. It should be avoided completely. I think it touched the linesman. I think situations like this do not have a place in football. I sincerely hope it does not happen again."

So sleepy
I have been so tired lately. I know a lot of it has to do with my sleep getting interrupted by various things. My usual pick me ups are not working though! Coffee is having no effect and getting up and moving around is fine, until I sit back down. I think I am going to bed at 6 pm tonight, haha.
What do you do on days when you are very sleepy to perk up?
Comment deleted
Oh yes, me too with that 2 PM wall.
Comment deleted
Bwahahahaha, now that's funny stuff. I am sure you were not amused at all though.
A suggestion is take Melatonin 1 to 2 hours before bed there are 1,3, or 5 mlg, and it's something your body already produces so it doesn't hurt the body and when you wake up in the morning you won't feel so groggy, also meditating before bed helps relax your mind and body which also helps. Right now Oprah and Deepak are doing a really great meditation.
Also strenching and taking a nice shower in the morning will also help wake you up.

The Londoner strolled over to Westminister where Chris Bryant was launching his new book, Parliament: The Biography, last night. Bryant's history of what is known locally as the Palace of Varieties stops in 1801, though he's promising a sequel.
The classicist Mary Beard was mulling over the grand sweep of Parliament's history with the Londoner. She posed the question of whether our modern politicians are a little too good.
"We think we want politicians who are all good all the time, but if no one is being bad then how do we know who is really good?" said Beard. "Perhaps Parliament has a place for rogues."
Also at the party was the dashing Hugh Grant — both he and Bryant are Hacked Off campaigners — who said that he had a roguish Parliamentary hero of his own. He confessed to a sneaking admiration for late Tory MP and diarist Alan Clark. "I mean, his policies were awful but you can't help but like the man," Grant said of the raffish, charming, upper-class Romeo.Reuse content

Taco Bell has a gravitational pull on the students of North Lakes Academy. It could be the various taco treats that the menu provides, the unique flavor of beef and processed meats, or the atmosphere and familiarity of Taco Bell's employees that grabs the attention of students. Regardless of these facts, Taco Bell has become a hotspot for students who need something to eat, or simply a place to stay.
The root of my taco addictions began with a group of Juniors in the year of 2012. I first came to NLA my freshman year of High School that same year, not knowing what to expect since I had previously been homeschooled my entire life. During my time at NLA I was introduced to a group of Juniors through a basketball program. These young men guided me through the majority of my lower classmen years, and were a continuous light of guidance during their time here. They shaped my character, as well as the emphatic addiction I developed for crunch wraps and gordita crunches. Before every basketball practice, every day, these Juniors would leave school to satisfy their taco fix at the Bell. Eventually, after a series of events, I and countless others were hooked on Taco Bell's unique flavor. We visited Taco Bell every day before practice alongside our upperclassmen to indulge our taste buds in the heavenly, beefy goodness that only Taco Bell could provide. I credit the introduction of my Taco Bell addiction to alumni Cody Warren, who I know is proud that we continue to carry the torch in continuing his legacy. Throughout High School many of my peers have joined our graduated upperclassmen in carrying this legacy. These are their stories, these are the Taco Bell Diaries.
Travis Fish is a Junior at NLA, and has been attending this school since his fifth grade year. Before coming to NLA's upper campus his freshman year he had never developed a true appreciation for the wonders of Taco Bell. Once he became a part of the culture here at NLA he fell into the trap quickly. "Started going to Taco Bell every day before practice, kind of stuck." Fish stated, explaining the beginning of his fixation for the Bell. Travis regularly goes to Taco Bell to settle his appetite after school. It's become a common habit for students across the board at NLA. "When the new Cinnabon Delights came out for the first time… I was like, holy crap these things are amazing. I ended up getting like three orders of them." Fish explained, emphasizing the taste of the white cream filling that every Cinnabon Delight posses. Travis has been attending Taco Bell regularly now and credits his dedication to the four alumnus Cody Warren, Dylan Beatty, Derek Beatty and Marshall Beyer, who created the legacy that now he has a part in carrying out.
Aaron Herr and Brandon Rowe are both Juniors at NLA who share the same love for Taco Bell. Both of these students developed their cravings around their freshman year, Aaron was influenced by the alumnus and Brandon by his friends. Aaron and Brandon have had countless adventures that always end with Taco Bell, just like the rest of us. "Noah broke this sauce packet once all over the window, and Sunitha (an employee at Taco Bell) made him clean it up… that was the first day after the new remodel" Aaron said with a slight smile on his face, "We've had a lot of good times". Brandon and one of his close friends visit Taco Bell every morning on Fridays for the unique breakfast they provide, "It's a fun tradition that makes me look forward to the end of the week". These two have had their fair share of crunchwraps, breakfast burritos and quesadillas, but they still continue to devote their dollars to the Bell. Not only is the food affordably delicious, but the memories are priceless.
William Tiedeman is also a Junior at NLA who has been attending the school since his fifth grade year. He's seen the school evolve in many ways, including the Taco Bell takeover which occurred over his freshman year. He visits the Bell regularly thanks to the influential power of his peers, "I never really liked it (Taco Bell) when I was younger, but during high school I began to finally enjoy it as soon as my friends started going regularly". Along with the famed food that Taco Bell prides themselves in, it has become a place of memories for William. "There was one time we were throwing snowballs in Brandon Flasch's (an alumnus of NLA) car, it was really funny, he just got his BMW, it was like January, and he left his moon roof open or something. So we threw snowballs all over his leather seats." Will claimed barely keeping himself together, holding in laughter as he spoke.
Although Taco Bell has been labeled an addiction throughout this article, it's a lot more than that. It's not just a physical or psychological habit. It's a way of life for students at NLA. Students and graduates of all sorts have ventured the quarter mile walk, or driven daily, during their high school years to the Bell. Students go before practices, rehearsals or straight after school with nothing to do but enjoy the aroma and taste of Taco Bell. It's become a place of safety for students at NLA.
We want to thank the staff of the Forest Lake Taco Bell of Minnesota. We thank you for the home you have provided for us, the five star beefy goodness, as well as the friendly service we've been offered over the years. It is because of these employees that our students remain devoted towards this restaurant. On behalf of NLA's student body, this article is dedicated to their service, we thank you.

This probably means Federer will lose his number one spot by the end of the year. It will be intresting to see how long Nadal can maintain his position. Also be intresting to watch how Federer responds. Hopefully now they will trade number one and number two spots in a series of epic finals!
And yes Rafa has proved himself to be one of the all time greats in my opinion. He may not win as many majors as Federer (or he may, who knows) but IMO he is the toughest competitor to walk on a tennis court. Federer falling just behind, he's pretty tough too .
I think this guy was born to beat Federer, seriously. If Rafa wasn't around it would just be utter dominance and unfair

Federer failed so many times on break points in the first two sets that really bit his ass in the end. And then almost all of Nadal's shanks on Federer's serve in the last set kept going in that made me go to tears (But Federer should've still been able to win the point so it is still his fault).
There is also the thing to consider that Wimbledon is much slower than it was in 2003 when Federer won it. Wimbledon is no longer the same type of tournament it used to be.
Although, I think it all came down to Federer's mental lapsing throughout the match, especially at the end with his serving.
For all its worth Nadal is my second favorite player on tour, so the loss is only 3/4 as devastating as it was today.
This U.S. Open is going to be really interesting if Nadal can actually transition and if you consider the devastating defeats Federer has gone through this year. I hope he doesn't end up like Borg.

Amazing match, Federer played spectacularly, I don't think anyone can say he played bad tennis, but Nadal really deserved to win he's really stepped up his game this season.
If rain hadn't interrupted play Federer might have got a lead because of Nadal's dodgy knee.
I interpreted Federer's remark that "I will be back next year" as you better watch your back Nadal.
It was such an edge of your seat match! I hope we get to see more surprises next Wimbledon.

Not really, just because Federer lost one tournement out of the amount he won, doubtful. He just has to prove that he can keep the top spot.
As for Wimbledon 2008, it was the best match I have ever watched. Federer coming back from a 0-2 set making it 2-2 and Nadal was ecstatic. He truely deserved to win it!
Congrats to Spain, first Euro and Wimbledon!

US Open begins!
From The Punch
The Spaniard eventually vanquished his German opponent 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 7-6 (7-4) at Flushing Meadows on Monday.
There were easy wins for fourth seed David Ferrer, who beat Martin Vassalo Arguello, and seventh seed David Nalbandian, who overcame Marcos Daniel.
But ninth seed James Blake needed five sets to overcome fellow American Donald Young 6-1 3-6 6-1 4-6 6-4.
Blake looked poised to make quick work of Young, leading two sets to one and up 2-0 in the fourth before the left-hander hit back to take the match to a deciding set.
"Donald really picked up his game and really played great towards the end of the match," said Blake, who committed 50 unforced errors in the match.
Gael Monfils was an early winner on the first day's play in New York, the Frenchman crushing Pablo Cuevas of Uruguay 6-4 6-4 6-1, while 10th seed Stanislas Wawrinka beat Simone Bolelli 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 6-3.
Jurgen Melzer upset 27th seed Feliciano Lopez 4-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 2-6 6-4, with Britain's Andy Murray a possible third-round opponent for the Austrian.
Nadal, 22, needed almost three hours to see off a determined challenge from qualifier Phau in the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
From ATP website
Four-time defending champion and No. 2 seed Roger Federer took sole possession of the Open Era winning streak at the US Open, taking his unbeaten run to 28 straight matches as he defeated Argentine qualifier Maximo Gonzalez 6-3, 6-0, 6-3 on Tuesday at Flushing Meadows. The Swiss previously shared the record with Ivan Lendl, who won the US Open title from 1985 to 1987 but lost in the 1988 final.
Federer needed just one hour and 22 minutes to close out the first round victory, as he fired 15 aces and converted on seven of his 13 break point chances against Gonzalez, who was making his first US Open appearance.
"I thought I really served well and I thought I moved really well for the first round, and that's positive for a start," said Federer, whose last loss at the US Open came in the 2003 fourth round against David Nalbandian.
This marks the first time since the 2004 Australian Open that Federer is not the top seed at a Grand Slam tournament. He was seeded No. 2 at that event, and went on to capture the title. He said: "One or two is always pretty much the same thing. No, the change I feel is fans are really supporting me and telling me I'm still No. 1 and still the best, You're going to be there again and stuff. So I feel like I've got unbelievable support from the fans watching me and seeing people in the streets and stuff. It's kind of really nice."
Federer is trying to become the first man since Bill Tilden in 1924 to win five consecutive titles at the US Open, and next confronts Brazilian Thiago Alves, who battled to a 4-6, 1-6, 6-1, 7-6(2), 6-4 win over Chile's Paul Capdeville. The 26-year-old Alves is currently ranked No. 137 and is playing in his first ATP-level tournament this season.
Spoiler for Full interview with Number 2 seed. From US Open Website.:
Russian Marat Safin, the US Open champion of 2000, fought through a tough first round match against Vincent Spadea, defeating the American 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 on Arthur Ashe stadium on Tuesday at Flushing Meadows.

Jelena Jankovich goes down in quite a horrid match. The WTA today is extremely horrid, there is no great quality of play like days of Steffi and Nartinalova and Viccario and Seles and.. well you get it.
Men's final tomorrow. Murray vs Federer. I'm not fully confident in Federer, but my prediction is 3:1 Federer. Murray did Federer a favor by upsetting Nadal; he's probably doing somersaults at this moment.

After Nadal went two sets down, Federer was in a win-win situation. If Nadal climbed his way back and won it in five, exhaustion would have set in during the final. Then there's the alternative, Murray pulling through, which happened. He's in his first Grand Slam final and Federer has never lost to a first time finalist. Still, Murrays on form and the seemingly unfathonable sporting achievements keep coming for Britain. So expect a focused Federer tonight.

Well i don't really think Murray has any chance to win. Federer is so on form and the only one Federer fear was Nadal... Noone else can make Federer fear like what Nadal did. The style of Murray is almost same like Djokovic and it's not better than the third seed. Federer can really hander Murray easily. I am afraid this will be an easy final for Federer that has no challenge at all and maybe 3 straight sets

I don't think Federer fears Nadal, after all in interviews he claimed to enjoy matches with him. Before the Wimbledon final he said bring on the challenge and went on to play a part in the best match ever. I read a similar statement from him a few days ago. To be honest, Nadal's style can trouble Federer. But then Nadal seems to raise his game every time they play, maybe the adrenaline rush that comes with playing the world number one. Or perhaps, being the underdog, he can simply let loose. Bear in mind Nadal is probably the toughest competitor ever to play the game. Additionally he works harder than anyone.
I'd have to agree that Federer is the favourite tonight.

I hate CBS coverage and I also hate the tournament director's decisions. Match is 5 P.M. Eastern. I live on the West Coast so it is 2 o'clock for me. I won't be there because of work, so I miss this special little match. grr.
Anyway, I don't agree that Federer is back in form. He will never be like his '05 or '06 self ever again.

What an amazing final. Though not as epic and grueling as Nadal's 5-set match with Verdasco a few days ago, but still, Nadal shows not only can he win on clay and grass, he can now win Grand Slams in hard court as well. All that's left is the US Open and he'll achieve the career Grand Slam.
Poor Federer. He was so close to equaling Pete Sampras's record of 14 Grand Slams. To see him cry like that was heart-wrenching, even Nadal felt so sorry he had to go and embrace and comfort him. I hope he picks himself soon enough and get his no. 14 and beyond. He too is just one Slam short of his own career Grand Slam, but one man, Nadal, keeps getting in his way.

I thought Federer was going to lose this match.
His game matches up really badly to Nadal. Nadal's serve goes into his backhand on the ad court (Making break point conversions difficult), Nadal hits high loopy forehands to Federer's backhand, Nadal gets to Federer's nonreturnable shots and hits a winner off of them, Nadal never gives up, and Nadal never misses in pressure situations.
Federer may not win a slam this year. To see him bawl in the trophy ceremony was quite sad.
But lets get real, Federer played a terrible match, and then basically handed over the match to Nadal in the 5th set. He served 52% for the match, and could not convert any breakpoints when necessary. He's just too passive on breakpoints, he needs to run around and hit a forehand, or at least try to tee off on one or two of those backhands. Nadal goes for broke against Fed, and gets quite a few points that way, there is something to be learned here.
Federer needs to learn to be more aggressive, higher a new coach (He desperately needs one right now), and most of all get a psychologist to stop Fed from getting so tight against Nadal. Every time he plays Nadal, he looks afraid.
Federer's potential GOAT status just went down the tube today, I don't see him coming back against Nadal to make that 6-13 record any better. All credit to Nadal though, fantastic player who never gives up. He has the right mind set of a champion, he knows truly how to compete. In a year or two people may start hyping him up as the GOAT, since I doubt Federer has much resistance left in him at this point. I would not be surprised if Federer loses before the FO finals this year.

Sony has just announced the new PMW-300, replacing the very popular PMW-EX3. As an evolution of the EX3, it features an interchangeable lens system and side-mounted viewfinder. The camera comes with a 14x zoom lens, and a 16x version will be available sometime later in the year. The lens mount system on the PMW-300 is the same as the EX3, so 2/3″ lenses and still lenses can be used with adapters. The three 1/2″ CMOS sensors of the PMW-300 are also the same as those found in the EX3, but with improvements in noise levels for better low light performance. A more noticeable change over the EX3 is the form factor, gone is the curved back design and long loupe on the viewfinder. Instead, the camera has a flat base and a viewfinder similar to the Sony DVF-L350 viewfinder found on the F5/F55 cameras. This means that it should sit squarely on your shoulder with the viewfinder comfortably at your eye.
The PMW-300 is also the big brother to the PMW-200, so naturally it has the all important 50Mbps 422 XDCAM codec recording option. It will also record in 35Mbps mode, as well as IMX and DV, so legacy recording modes are covered as well. The big news here is that in 2014, Sony is planning an update that will allow the camera to support the new 10-bit XAVC compression mode, which is a welcome addition for anyone needing that extra quality. Standard resolution and frame rates are supported: 1080 60i, 50i, 30p, 25p, 24p, as well as all the 720p frame rates.
The camera has all the standard I/O you expect including HD-SDI & HDMI outputs and XLR audio inputs. Plus, like the EX3, the PMW-300 is made for multi-camera use, featuring a Genlock In and Timecode In/Out interface, so that it can be linked with other cameras for multi-camera operation and 3D configurations. It also has the standard remote interface (8-pin 700-Protocol) for remote adjustment via paintbox.
The PMW-300 should prove to be a very comfortable camera to have on your shoulder, and no doubt it will quickly become the documentary camera of choice for many. Check out Sony's full press release, and look for the camera to arrive sometime in October.

JK institute is Kerala's No.1 result oriented training centre exclusively for examinations conducted by Kerala Public Service Commission.
We not only provides intense and individual attention to the students but also training for descriptive examination trainings and interview trainings ,suggestions to help the students who are preparing for armed service for their physical training.
Teachers at JK Institute work closely with their students, which allows them to really understand the strengths and difficulties of each individual.
I have always felt that I was so lucky to be a student at JK Institute, and not at any other Institutions. The thing I admire the most about JK Institute is the support I received from everyone at the school.
Looking back, I can see JK Institute was extremely important and a stepping stone in my career.
