JERUSALEM (Feb. 19)
A labor court ruling supporting wage demands of the country's teachers threatened today the government's efforts to curb Israel's galloping inflation. The Jerusalem Labor District Court ruled last night that the teachers were entitled to wage parity with the civil service engineers contrary to the stand of the Treasury.
If implemented, the ruling would give the country's 65,000 teachers wage increases of 20 to 27 percent, costing the government some IL 3.5 billion. The court ruling came as a blow to the Treasury. Only recently has Finance Minister Yigal Hurwitz ended his battle over next year's budget, in which he insisted on a ceiling of IL 405 billion. Asked where he would get the money from, Hurwitz, who was visibly shocked by the decision, replied: "From what I don't have."
The response was more accurate than it seems. Originally, such surprise needs would be met from the budget's reserves. However, due to the disagreement among the ministers on the size of the budget, there was hardly any reserves left in the budget. A further danger would be that even if the teachers' demands were met — other sectors in the economy might follow, totally upsetting the government's declared policy to freeze wage rises until April next year.
By this morning, the government seemed to have two alternatives: one was to appeal the decision before the National Labor Court. This move was opposed by Education Minister Zevulun Hammer. Hammer claimed throughout the labor dispute with the teachers that their salaries should be raised considerably and he welcomed the court's decision. The other alternative was to print the money — another boost to inflation which last month stood at 7.3 percent.

My name is Stephanie Brewer and I think that I am the person that the Hotline caller was referring to in "How can they do that."
I am very sorry if I offended anyone who saw my truck parked by town hall, however I wanted to set the record straight on the handicapped parking spaces in Fries near the town hall.
I spoke with the town clerk and she told me that there are three parking spots in front of Fries Town Hall. The spot in the middle, right in front of the door to town hall, is a handicapped-accessible parking spot with a clearly marked wheelchair symbol.
I hope everyone knows about all the tricky little laws in our government. I wasn't educated in government, but I'm learning.
They have certain laws, then they have these tricky little riders to overcome the laws they just passed.
Let me explain: I am 80 years old. I have worked all my life. I went on Social Security at age 65 and I hardly made it without any extra help.
Then they took away our Social Security raise. And I had to go back to work because food, fuel, electricity and water got a little raise, too.
By Lewis and Joanie Walker of Independence
When Laura George presented her proposed project, the Oracle Retreat Center, to the Grayson Board of Supervisors for approval on June 10, 2010, freedom of speech was exercised by 28 citizens.
Sixteen others voiced their views through letters and phone calls.
Though many of the remarks by local people expressed opposition on religious grounds, the board declined the project based on common sense building principles.
Times have changed in our society and particularly in today's public schools.
Administrators in previous years addressed a painted football field before a big game or the mischievous theft of the school mascot.
Today's concerns are hit lists that threaten the safety of our students and teachers, as well as deadly weapons confiscated from lockers, back packs and vehicles.
Great emphasis is placed on school fire drills and safe student evacuations. Thankfully, student deaths related to school fires are practically nonexistent.
Editor's note: This letter is in response to an editorial in the Aug. 22-23 edition, about a religious discrimination lawsuit against Grayson, filed by a group that says religion was at the root of the county denying a zoning request.
In answer to the editorial that religion has no place…
For the past few years, everything that mentions God's name or has God's name on it has been the source of fighting and lawsuits.
What a sorry state of affairs that continues to plague our country.
From a political tug of war in Congress and the White House over spending, a huge deficit that keeps growing, the name-calling and finger-pointing goes on.
In the middle of this squabbling is the American people. Not only are children left behind, it is the workers, taxpayers, the breadwinners and the ones that don't have a voice in decision-making.
Thanks to our friends at Kroger of Galax and its vendors for their support during the Galax Old Fiddlers' Convention when the Red Cross participated in a special Kroger Days celebration.
Their staff provided a trailer from which we could serve our food items and even organized several bands to entertain our "diners!"
We are extremely grateful for this opportunity to raise funds for vital disaster services, assistance to military families, and health and safety education in Carroll, Wythe, and Grayson counties as well as Galax city.

This made me laugh...
Never go anywhere without my Treo. Always able send or receive. Hard to remember what it was like without instant messaging/SMS.
Yep...I work for a huge bank. Spend half of my time on the conference calls [talk about being productive:)]...so during those I e-mail people, send text messages, talk to them on the cell phone and IM...so far I haven't confused the conversations yet, but I can see it coming.
Can't help but wonder if you save keystrokes during conference calls by typing "U R" and "plz". I'm guessing not. :)
Can't help but wonder if you save keystrokes
I do not...
As much as I love the way I have friends all over the world, through this wonderful world of the web and the connectivity it gives us, I think the art of true conversation is being lost. I really miss not having a team around me. We used to lunch together in the canteen, talked work, talked trivia learned stuff and built up pretty good friendships. That's not to say there aren't friendships built up on the net. But I think the more we blog, the more we txt, the less we really connect. Makes me sad. Perhaps it's on a different level, but it's easier to write in an anonymous way than to look at someone and have a conversation...agree, disagree, empathise or sympathise and learn.

I think my attention is getting fragmented as we add more methods of communication. Is the ultimate vacation experience unwired, cut off from IM, SMS and email?
i've been blessed to know a number of really smart prople [including the owner of this blog.;-)] met through email and such. but i deplore the fact that i can't just go have lunch with them, or go buy them a drink and just chat. the good and bad of living a wirde existance?;-)
maybe in dallas, sir?
I went on vacation a few weeks ago for only a week.
I left my laptop and my blackberry at my desk.
It was horrible.
My wife couldn't get in touch with me when she was at work and I was out shopping with the kids. I couldn't remember any of my friends phone numbers... I knew there speed dial numbers off by heart.
My mother emailed me about 20 times before she picked up the phone (different country, calling is expensive), she thought maybe I had been plucked from the face of the planet.
Twice I woke up with a start swearing I heard the "level 1" ring on my blackberry.
I kept all my personal passwords on the blackberry, I couldnt' do my banking.
It was horrible, I would not recommend leaving your PDA behind on holidays. I ended up being completely and utterly dettached from the world for basically 6 straight days. I spent uninterrupted time with my kids, I listened to music, I went to a movie and didn't have to remember to switch to silent mode after the first phone call.
I have 3 weeks coming up here in a few weeks.
Blackberry stays and laptop stay at work.
We judge a meeting by how many emails are coming from the attendees. The less people doing the "crackberry prayer" the better the meeting.
2 of the VP's collect blackberries and cell phones at the door.
Nobody says no, not even other VP's.
This is pretty ingenious, too.
Those PDA things are pretty much shelfware to me.
Back when I shared an office with another Support person, we'd text message each other while talking to customers. But it would be funny how long we'd continue that way even after we've hung up the phones before one of us just turns around to face the other guy.
The really sad thing is sitting in a conference room and silently heckling a presenter over SMS with your buddies in the same room. Funny at first, but then I wonder if people heckle me when I'm presenting :-).
Conference calls for us mean a speaker phone and a round table. All I have to do is put my finger on the mic and bingo: as many parallel conversations as we like!
Mind you, I've been known to fall asleep half way deadly boring ones, whereby someone always complains about the "heavy breathing" from the "Australian contingent"... :-)
Ah wel, no one is perfect!
Ok, I know this is silly, but thought I would point it out nonetheless.
Don't you think that if you have the hyperlink on the word 'This' in the sentence 'This made me laugh.' instead of on 'me laugh', it would "look" more logical ?
Oh Oh
Looks like the
Phantom Nitpicker
Is at it again!
Did you guy never try secret talk in the class room by passing around small paper ?
Sure now they are using PDA/SMS, but those were the good old days that a piece of paper will do the same job.
three of us in high school invented a hand-alphabet, like the one used by the deaf-mute. At the time we didn't have access to any info on existing alphabets so we had to come up with something that'd let us communicate silently and discretely during classes, exams, etc. It was quite effective.
three of us in high school invented a hand-alphabet
We decided to master in "lips-reading" instead ... a skill useful also during adult life, was our resoning :)
And on a semi-related note, I was reading the other day that teenagers are using this new "ultrasonic" ringtone which most people over 20 can't hear. Great for texting in class without the teacher noticing.
NPR has a download of the "Teen Buzz" MP3 which you can listen to. It hurts my ears. But then, I once returned a couple of battery backups because of their constant high-pitched shriek, so I'm not surprised I can hear it despite my age.
Bob Shepard
As an adult, I like the "kids only" ringtone much better than the the latest popular hit. At least I don't have to hear it!
I was looking at those new cool ultra slim "smartphones" by verizon, it's called the Q I think by motorola.
Tom are you happy with the size of your Treo? Easy to carry around, put in your pocket etc? I made the mistake of getting a phone that ended up being too bulky and it feels like I'm carrying a role of quarters in my paints.
Also, to get all the neat service those phones require, email, broadband etc, what does that cost you if you don't mind me asking. I think it starts around 80 a month if that sounds right.
I like my treo - but that doesn't mean you would. It is big, I don't carry it in my pocket frequently, more of a clip on belt device.
About 80 sounds about right - I have the tmobile hot spot access with it, as well as the gprs/edge access (hot spot for laptop in Starbucks and Red Carpet clubs)
I sent a text message to my wife sitting beside me while at your mini-confrence today in Regina!! So nice not to have to disturb everyone around you just for a little comment. Excellent information today .. you really know your stuff.
Oh, man that's not what you wanted to say. I guess we become control freaks. Let some one else know what you want them to say.

Hemp Hand Protector: Hemp: Shop By Line - The Body Shop
Great Hand Cream, especially during the winter months. My mom had bought me some for x-mas to take on a snowboarding trip. My hands at the time were so dry and cracked that every other cream I tried to use to moisturize would burn my skin (cause of the alcohol content) This hemp hand protector was the only one that didn't burn. It's super thick and buttery. The only prob I found with it was that sometimes when traveling the top would unscrew and it cream would be everywhere. * They now have a full line of Hemp products including a face cream that is great in the winter too!
exfoliating is key for healthy looking skin. this scrub from the body shop will remove dead old skin cells while leaving your skin super moisturized! its the shea butter!Added 8 Years Ago from Thebodyshop-usa

Poker Payment Processor Tzvetkoff Defies DOJ
The US Department of Justice has pretty much run ruff-shod on any online gaming person or company it has decided to go after with basically all defendants reaching plea bargain deals or settling out of court. That was until they arrested Australian payment processor Daniel Tzvetkoff, whose company has processed some $500 million in online poker transactions.
Tzvetkoff entered a not guilty plea, and plans to fight the DOJ to the end claiming that poker is not gambling, and therefore is not illegal. The DOJ has been very picky in prosecuting online gaming by going after the payment processors like Tzvetkoff –and previously Douglas Rennick who pleaded guilty to a lesser offense. The DOJ has also settled out of court with Party Poker, and their founder, for hundreds of millions of dollars, and has prosecuted BetonSports CEO David Carruthers.
Tzvetkoff's plan to fight against the DOJ may be a huge moment in the history of online poker, and may finally put to bed the gambling or game of skill argument once and for all. It's likely that many pro-online gaming groups will jump to Tzvetkoff's defense if it seems plausible he could win the case –on the other hand, if it looks like his strategy will fail you can be certain they will steer clear of this trial entirely.

I know some of you aren't quite there yet in your corner of the world - so if that's you.... enjoy the last of your weekend !
I've also decided this month to join in
Fat Mum Slim's photo a day challenge.
I'm using it as an opportunity to try out instagram on my phone. I've stumbled on getting my photos posted to my facebook page, so have settled on 'tweeting' them to join in the challenge - I've learnt about hashtags to do that too!! (Ok, Ok, so I'm a bit behind with social media!!)
Here's one of my first instagram pictures - imagine my disappointment when I found a rat had eaten one of our tasty pineapples!
I haven't yet figured out how to send instagram pictures to my blog - I sent one to google + but can't see where it's gone! So I cut and pasted this one from the instagram site. MMm there has to be an easier way than that!
I'm sure all these new apps and devices do make life easier...when you've figured out how to use them!
So if you'd like to follow me on instagram and see my pictures for the month, then click here (I think):
(alternatively my instagram username is jillinamillion)
I'd also like some people to follow myself - so I can gawp at your fabulous photos too!!
So if you use instagram too - let me know so I can follow along!
Now let's get to this week's party!
Tuits are very hard to come by, especially the round ones. For years people have been saying, "I'll do it as soon as I get a round tuit". Well now you can have one of your very own, and all those jobs that have needed doing will finally get done!
Chrissie has a beautiful blog - I'd really recommend a visit - do check out her textile art and completed quilts - just brilliant!
Finally, these tasty looking
M&M Blondies from Six Sisters' Stuff caught my eye:
I've pinned these to try with my kids sometime!
The girls have heaps of tasty recipes and also lots of crafts on their brilliant blog - so do go and say hello:

Dunfermline's Sol Bamba headed just over before Colin Cramb slotted home from 16 yards against the run of play.
Bamba and Thomas McManus came close to an equaliser for the title hopefuls, but Steven Bell rocketed the ball home from 18 yards after 75 minutes.
David McKenna slotted in a third eight minutes later to complete the rout.
It means Kenny's side, who were Division One title favourites after coming down from the SPL last season, had conceded eight goals without reply in their last two games.
Asked if it might be his last game in charge, Kenny suggested that he continued to enjoy the support of the Pars' board.
"Nothing has been said to suggest otherwise," he said.
"It's very disappointing and we have a ridiculous situation that, in all our games, league and cup, if we score the first goal, we win the game. If we concede the first goal, we lose and that's a fundemental weakness.
"We had only conceded eight goals in our previous nine games and we could not have foreseen two such heavy defeats.
"I have no doubts about myself. But, when you lose 3-0 like this, you have to accept the flak as it's not good enough."
Dunfermline have reached the Challenge Cup final, where they play St Johnstone, but have not lived up to their billing as promotion favourites.
They are now 16 points behind leaders Hamilton Accies.
"We have a cup final in two weeks, but we wanted to do better in the league.
"If a result like this doesn't hurt you, nothing will, and we have to carry on and hope to get it right."

Arcadia Restaurant Review: With this chic, elegantly appointed, 130-seat restaurant at the San Jose Marriott, Michael Mina has created one of the more sophisticated dining spots in the South Bay. The dinner menu includes longstanding Mina classics such as Maine lobster potpie with truffle cream and seasonal vegetables, presented tableside by very professional waitstaff. Another mainstay, whole chicken for two, is fried in duck fat; frying the bird whole crisps the skin and keeps the meat greaseless. A high-end steak menu ranges from filet mignon to American Wagyu flatiron and dry-aged New York strip, as well as bone-in specialties such as a 20-ounce cowboy rib-eye, Kurobuta pork chops and rack of lamb. You can also add bone marrow, a butter-poached lobster tail, or select from more than half a dozen sides. There are four sauces from which to choose, including Pinot Noir bordelaise and chimichurri. If you're not in a meat mood, opt for fresh fish. The wine list focuses primarily on boutique wines from America. Arcadia also serves daily breakfast, and is a go-to lunch spot for the business set.

Couche-Tard Profits Jump
C-store chain reports net income rose to $55.5 million, thanks to high gas prices.
LAVAL, Quebec-- Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. announced plans to start paying a dividend after reporting fiscal second-quarter profit climbed 45 percent because of rising gasoline prices, reported Bloomberg.
Net income in the period ended Oct. 9 rose to $55.5 million, or 27 cents a share, compared with $38.3 million, or 19 cents, a year earlier. Sales rose 30 percent to $2.39 billion. The quarterly dividend, Couche-Tard's first, will be 2.5 Canadian cents a share and is payable on Dec. 1, the company said in the Bloomberg report.
After fuel costs were subtracted, the company earned 17.05 cents a gallon on gas, about a third more than a year ago. Gasoline sold in the United States for an average of $2.62 a gallon in the quarter, a 41-percent rise.
According to the report, investors have urged the company to start a dividend for the past two years.
"Gas prices have been slow to fall at the pump, although wholesale prices have come down," Blackmont Capital Inc. analyst David Hartley told Bloomberg. "The ones making the money are the merchants."
Hartley said he was expecting net income of about 25 cents a share. That also was the average estimate of five analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial. Thomson Financial refused to provide clarification on whether the estimates include one-time costs or gains, reported Bloomberg.
Couche-Tard runs 4,853 stores in the United States and Canada. Sixty-two percent of the stores sell gasoline. More than three-quarters of the company's total revenue came from the United States, where Couche-Tard bought 1,663 Circle K stores and gas stations from ConocoPhillips for $830 million two years ago.

In a competitive situation, ABC has signed a new 10-year deal with the Country Music Association to keep the CMA Awards on the network through 2021. The announcement was made hours before tonight's broadcast of the 45th Annual CMA Awards on ABC. The awards show aired on NBC for its first four years, switching to CBS in 1972 for a 34-year run until ABC nabbed the rights in 2006. The deal with the CMA also covers franchise extensions CMA Festival: Country's Night To Rock, which launched in 2004, and CMA Country Christmas, which started last year, which also will air on ABC for another decade. "ABC has demonstrated a passion for the format and our television properties," CMA CEO Steve Moore said. "We have seen the CMA Music Festival special grow to three hours; we have added a holiday special, CMA Country Christmas; and our crown jewel, the CMA Awards, has reached a new, enthusiastic audience." Last year, CMA averaged 17 million viewers. The second edition of the two-hour CMA Country Christmas special is scheduled to air December 1.
ABC Signs 10-Year Deal For CMA Awards

Git 'er done!
CMA, time to bring back Dolly Parton, Glen Campbell and the true country hits. Here You Come Again still best country song ever. Just saying….
Once again, the CMA Awards show was the best 3 hours of broadcast television this year. It was terrific to see Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and Hank Williams Jr. "stick it" to ESPN by mocking their recent decision to pull Williams from the Monday Night Football telecasts. My friends gather to watch this show the way we used to gather to watch the Oscars.
Like it or not, country music has the best singers, songwriters and muscicians in the business these days – no autotune or silly outfits required. The CMAs is the most entertaining of all of the award shows since it actually has more performances and less awards.

Mario Pinball Land
Review by Yoh_of_Izumo
"Graphically and Musically Strong, though Gameplay Debilitated"
I have played many different genres of games ranging from the basic role-playing games to first person shooter, but this is only the second time I have ever tried a pinball game designed for portable usage (my first was Pokemon Pinball) first Mario pinball game though. Nintendo joined forces with a company called Fuse Games Limited to create a pinball game that incorporates the elements of a regular Mario game from power-up items to Toad to Bowser. Though I had never heard of Fuse Games Limited before (yet of course Nintendo), I was rather surprised to come across a game that reasonably took the genre of pinball on the portable Nintendo Gameboy Advance to the full capabilities of the system. Everything in this games has potential, yet the gameplay lets down this capable gem. Graphics are beautifully designed in the atmosphere of the N64 Super Mario 3D era even though the simplicity of the game comes down to a simple board and two flippers. The music is wonderfully designed for each board, each boss, and each scenario, and never gets repetitive or boring, and soon you'll start humming to it; heck, I even played one of the songs on my trumpet (the one where Mario is under the sea on the board with three treasure chests and a sunken ship). But disappointingly, graphics and music are not the key elements in a pinball game: it is gameplay. Pinball games are about the ability to move the pinball around the map with logical movement. Though obstacles may hinder you way, and be accepted, nonsensical detours or non-detected hits (even though you did hit them) can truly upset a gamer. While I will go more in-depth in the review, the gameplay can be rather frustrating at times, and the difficulty can sometimes prove patience-busting. Besides gameplay, there is also replayability, and though it is not that important of a factor, after beating this game, you will wish to place this game on the shelf for quite some time to calm your mind from wishing to rip your Gameboy or your game itself into pieces.
Now, enough with the intro, it is time to keep to the heart of the matter; onward we go!
Gameplay: 5/10
Sadly, though this game had potential, the gameplay totally destroyed it by making the game over excessively more challenging than it needs to be. It is a pinball game, and not suppose to be a horrific obstacle course of luck and chance. While mulling around in the primary board at the Fair, everything seems decent, just hit the cannon, enter it, and you're off to one of the main four levels. Let's say you decide to select Desertland (the place with sand, a pyramid, etc ), and then you land in the rather sweltering heat of a Saharan Desert. The first star is rather simple to get: just destroy the two Cacti that are bobbling around in the sand. After that, you move up into the higher board. Now things start to get more challenging. Maybe you possess 10 stars, and you have the ability to go through any of the two doors of your choice. So, you decide that you want to take a journey into the right door. You hit it, but that only opens the door, now you must go in that direction again for Mario to pulled up into the higher board. Only problem is, if you hit the left door in your attempt to get through the already open right side, both doors close again, and then you must try again. Not only does this prove frustrating, but after 30 seconds of movement on the same board, the pipe disappears, and if you don't possess a Yoshi Egg or a replacement Pipe, the game becomes totally a matter of lack. Without the functions of tilt, the Pipe serves as a handicap to make the tilt function of pinball not necessary, but when the Pipe has gone and without an implemented tilt mechanism, a random knock can send you straight down into a lower board, only to try again to move into a higher board. This can prove rather boring as you try to move up and down, up and down, and you spend minutes just trying to maneuver a board. Not only this, if you don't maintain vigilance and you fall down through the primary board, there goes one of your lives. Now without a further hypothetical analysis on that situation, let's say you finally move into the right side and you encounter a pyramid. There are Condors flying around, and now you must knock them all out of the sky using the pyramid as a launching ramp. This can prove time consuming as this objective requires timing and sometimes luck. To make matters worse, there are two statues on the upper corners of the board that raise the pyramid. Raise the pyramid to its full height and a door appears, and after killing three of the four Condors, you accidentally enter the pyramid, so then you exit it to get back to the previous board. Lo and behold, you have to try to knock out the four Condors over again. Now while inside the pyramid, there are quite a bountiful amount of stars to encounter. You complete an objective and the star appears, but the only problem is that you hit a hidden switch and a panel of the floor disappears and you fall through oh crap, the star won't be there anymore when you return and you'll have to start over again. And that's just the start try to get all 35 stars; now that's an accomplishment.
Now besides a rather nuisance of gameplay mechanics, there are some spices that prevent the gameplay from falling through the floor. Now, while with most pinball games, there is no story. But in this pinball game there is a rather minor story hidden between all the whacks and enemies: you must save Princess Peach from Bowser's Castle (familiar, no?). The graphics and the music as well enhance the gameplay by allowing you to enjoy a pleasant atmosphere to play this annoying game through. Minigames as well as power-ups can assist in alleviating the built up tension as well, and with fun boss battles to play in, the game can be amusing, especially during your final battle with Bowser.
Story: N/A
A story is not applicable in the final scoring of a pinball game, but if you really wish to know what a hardcore RPG player would give it it would receive a 1/10. Basically, it is the same trite story with a pinball twist to it. Mario and his friends are playing at the Fair with a machine that turns them into balls and then a cannon launches them onto a pinball board. When it's Peach's turn, Goombas hijack the party and turn the cannon towards Bowser's Castle. And now you must voyage through the world of pinball to acquire enough stars (15 to be exact) as well as four star keys (by defeating the four main bosses of the other boards) to enter the lair of Bowser and crush him.
Graphics: 10/10
The graphics of Mario Pinball land fully take the capabilities of the Nintendo Gameboy Advance to its capabilities. The graphics are beautifully rendered 3D images that mirror those of the Nintendo 64 Super Mario 64 game. For a pinball game, this is very surprising for usually graphics are not one of the main attacks of the gaming designer. The enemies are beautifully sculpted, the backgrounds and boards are wonderfully tuned, and the bosses look almost the exact same as those of the Super Mario 64 game. Yet, Bowser doesn't look as good. Though similar, not the same, of course the Super Mario 64 graphics are better, but for a tiny screen and portable gameplay, it is one of the better graphical engineering achievements that I have seen in quite some time for the portable system. It is not the regular 2D side-scroller that most people are familiar with when Mario is mentioned. Though Mario is mainly a pinball for the majority of the game, everything else is nicely attuned. On the Cacti, you can see the individual spikes that protrude, when Mr. Blizzard wishes to hurl a snowball at you to knock you off-course, you can see the wind-up, the pitch, and the actually snowball, and when the pyramid stands tall, the 3D blocks give testament to the graphical power of the structure and the game. It is just a shame that such graphical artwork had to only introduced to game in which graphical power is not the key essence.
Sound: 10/10
The music is wonderfully composed as well with songs varying from each world scenario and each board map. Such as during boss battles, the music gets beating, while Mario floats underwater, the music is softly touched, and during timed events, the music accelerates to give you the illusion to work faster and be more attentive or lose the minigame or challenge. The music is fairly unique to this game, and I haven't recalled hearing the majority of it in any other Mario game. Even though all music on the Nintendo Gameboy Advance is done synthetically, usually through a keyboard, it truly offers some of the best Mario melodies that I have heard. Besides the very tasteful music, Mario is actually given a voice in this game, and it's always nice to hear Letzza Go or Super Bonus or Well Played, etc as many games do not incorporate voices at all.
Replayability: 7/10
Replayability can prove to be somewhat an anticlimax for most gamers who aren't into the pinball genre. After losing several games through the difficult obstacles that you must face to even acquire 15 stars, most people will wish to turn off the game and let it collect dust for a while before returning to it again to deviate from the main streamline of gaming. Though for those who wish to be true pinball fans, this game can prove very well for them. To complete the single player advantage, you must collect the total possible 35 stars that are available. With the 35 stars, you can also do challenges such as the Yoshi Egg challenge where you can cash in on millions of points. Besides such gameplay, a pinball fan may wish to attempt the highest score possible by after winning the game, trying their luck at a very pleasing aiming practice minigame. After finally finishing the adventure section of the game, there is also a sidequest called: Time Attack where you attempt to beat each board map in a certain time frame. This can prove challenging with all the obstacles in your way, but with luck and great timing, a superior pinball player can spend well over 10 hours on this pinball game (maybe even 20 hours if you can last that long).
Using my rating system for Gameboy Advance Pinball Games:
60% Gameplay, 0% Story, 15% Graphics, 5% Sound, 20% Replayability
Overall Game Rating: 6.4
Suggested Action: Borrow this game from a friend or from the store. Don't buy unless you enjoy playing pinball games.
Final Comments: Mario Pinball Land is a game that has possibly laid the foundation for future Mario pinball genre games. Hopefully from the mistakes that have occurred in this game, the game creators can improve and make a more worthwhile successor to it. It is not for those who never play pinball games, and just wish to have an easy game to play around with it. This game is one of the hardest games I have ever played with in terms of gameplay (a negative factor) and those who are used to a rather simplistic gameplay in other types of games or other pinball games such as those on Windows, etc will truly wish they had never encountered this.

It's the holy grail of sport: a championship. You lift weights for it. You practice for it. You study for it. All to experience that moment on top. That one thing that can confirm, without question, that it's all worthwhile.
Phil Jackson, coach of the most championships in NBA history (11), once said, "I thrive on challenges, and there is no more imposing challenge for someone in my profession than winning an NBA title."
But what if Phil was wrong? What if he forgot something? What if the one thing harder than winning a championship is to do it again?
Such was the task of the SoCal Athletics, an 18 Gold softball club based in southern California.
In 2010, the Athletics' title run seemed overshadowed by the Worth Firecrackers, a team that bowed out of the national tournament without the services of a handful of Junior National Team members.
"All our team kept hearing was, 'Oh, if the Firecrackers had their junior national members, they would've beat them,' " Athletics coach Bruce Richardson said. "So we had a quiet motto in 2011: 'We don't have any girls on the Junior National Team, but we'll beat you anyway.' "
To defend a title, a team must find a unique sort of motivation. This was theirs.
"One of the biggest things we deal with in club ball is the motivational game," Richardson said. "You don't play competitive games all the time, so everything revolves around gearing the girls up for the summer."
And this past summer, the defending champs were more than ready. Ready for another title run, but also ready to prove to their naysayers that the Athletics could beat the Firecrackers at full strength. They got their chance last August in the national title game in Irvine, Calif.
The Athletics jumped out to a 3-1 lead through the first three innings thanks to an Alexis Mercado three-run home run. But the Firecrackers scored a run in both the fourth and fifth innings to tie the game. In the sixth they plated three more runs to double up the Athletics 6-3, in what seemed like a death blow.
But, as catcher Aubree Munro will tell you, a true champion will never let any score or circumstance dictate an attitude.
"Our team was on the same page in the dugout because we had done it last year. We were all like, 'We can do this!' It's never over with our team."
They answered with three runs in the bottom half of the sixth, tying the game at 6-6 as it headed for a seventh and final inning.
The Firecrackers threw a haymaker in the top of the seventh. With two runners on and one out, Kathlyn Medina singled home Cheyanne Tarango to drain the Athletics' momentum and take a 7-6 lead. Now the Firecrackers needed only three more outs to accomplish what many people thought they would've done in 2010 had they fielded their full squad.
Groundout. Groundout.
Quicker than you can put on a batting glove, there were two outs in the Athletics' half of the seventh inning.
But then, it started to happen. Nobody can define it or determine how to control it, but that's why we play sports. That's why we love sports. And especially softball, where it can happen at any moment, because there is no time limit. As long as you have an out to play with, you have a chance to define yourselves.
"With two outs in the seventh they walk Jenna Kelly and I'm sitting in the on-deck circle saying, 'OK they're walking her to get to me,' " said Munro, who admits that defense -- not hitting -- is her specialty. But she took a deep breath and knuckled a two-strike pitch to the right side of the infield that spun its way between the first and second basemen, prolonging the inning and giving leadoff hitter Danica Mercado a chance to swing the bat.
"At that time I was getting my ankle taped because I had sprained it," Mercado said. "But then they walked Jenna and Aubree gets the hit, and I was like, 'Oh my God, I might bat!' "
And bat she would, after Jasmine Smithson-Willett was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
So Mercado strolls to the plate to live the dream: Bottom of the last inning, two outs, bases loaded, your team down by a run, and you're up.
"She goes 3-0 on me and I'm thinking that I need to draw a walk to tie the game," Mercado said. "But then the next pitch was a strike and I just wanted to hit after that."
And as that fifth pitch flew toward the plate, Richardson, just a year removed from standing atop the club softball mountain, felt something tug at his insides.
"When stuff like that happens, there's gotta be some logical reason it happens to a team," he said. "And I told the Firecrackers that they were such a great team, but we heard what people were saying. Our team knew that our win last season was tainted in some people's eyes."
So as that fifth pitch sailed in and Mercado swung as hard as she could, it's no wonder why aluminum contacted leather with the most magical of pops, and two runners scored on a hit up the middle.
The SoCal Athletics had accomplished what many had told them they wouldn't have done in 2010 had the Firecrackers been whole: beaten a team loaded with national-team-level talent.
And while the Athletics were piling on top of each other, the Firecrackers were packing their bags in the dugout with a newfound motivation: the agony of defeat.
Already, both teams have begun to retool for 2012 summer season and national tournament. Fall ball has given them the chance to target the best fits for next year's squad. In the last month, the Athletics have called up three players from their 16U team, plucked one from another 16U team, and welcomed a pitcher from Washington.
In a nutshell, that's sports. Each team searching for the motivation to lift, practice, and study harder than it did the year before. And when two teams as talented as the Firecrackers and Athletics get together, it's what creates these storybook moments. Rivalries, like stories, can always produce those three magic words:
To be continued.

ASUS is introducing a new take on low-light photography in its ZenFone smartphones. It's the so-called PixelMaster technology, and Malaysian website SoyaCincau sampled it for the rest of the world to see (ZenFones are only selling in Taiwan for the time being).
Instead of bigger pixels like HTC's controversial UltraPixel technology, ASUS opted to use nearby pixels to capture more light. Now, we don't exclude the possibility of the company arranging the room in which the sample was taken as to present the PixelMaster camera at its peak abilities. But the result we're seeing is downright impressive, both on paper and on screen. There's a whopping 400% increase in brightness reported by ASUS, which is pretty hard to judge, but from what we're seeing, there's very little noise, and the objects in the photo look like they are lit up by a light source.
So far, so good, but ASUS's shoot-in-the-dark camera leaves us with mixed feelings, and here's why. The extra light comes at the price of an extreme reduction in resolution. If you are shooting with the ZenFone 6's 13MP camera in PixelMaster mode, you will obtain a puny 3MP image, while the ZenFone 5's 8MP camera churns out 2MP photos. Remember the last time you took a native 2MP photo? Ours was in 2005, when the Sony Ericsson K750's 2MP auto-focus camera was all the rage. We still remember it fondly, by the way.
Then again, having a smaller, but well-lit photo in dark occasions is more preferable to having a messy, noisy 13MP photo with terrible colors. In addition, the ZenFone's camera software appears to be very feature-rich, with high-end cameraphone staples such as Time Rewind, DoF, Miniature, Smart Remove, and the immortal GIF animation. Mind you, the ZenFone is ASUS's newest budget series, with the ZenFone 6 priced a mere $230, and the ZenFone 5 costing $166 off-contract in Taiwan.

Bourjois Volume Glamour Mascara
Bourjois Volume Glamour Mascara Reviews
Bourjois Volume Glamour MascaraI have long, very straight lashes, and this mascara really makes my lashes long and thick looking. I use a curler, and it doesn't take the curl out. It wears very well, no flaking, applies great with the teddy bear brush with no clumping. This is always a product I keep going back to. It also took 3 months for it to start going dry, and other mascaras dry up far quicker for me. I get my money...read more's worth from this product, and it is very reasonable in comparison to other makeup lines. 2 coats make my lashes just perfect, I could gush forever about how much I love this product! — 8 years, 3 months agolesa5363 | 352 reviews

Pretty GoodThis mascara worked well for me. It applied evenly, though I had to use a light hand when doing so. It did not smear or flake and caused no irritation. I actually used it in place of my regualr mascara when I didn't have time to travel to a store that sells my particular brand. I would use this as a substitute again. — 9 years, 3 months agoToscanaFirenze | 284 reviews

AverageThis wasn't that impressive, but it is a good, basic day-to-day mascara if your lashes don't need a lot of help (or just want a subtle look). You can get the same effect for less money with L'Oreal Voluminous. — 9 years, 3 months agoErnestine14 | 137 reviews

Autism is typically thought of as a neurodevelopmental disorder. It is assumed that something goes wrong early in a child's development and that the brain doesn't develop properly and that the result is permanent.
But what if that wasn't the case?
According to some recent research, the symptoms of Rett Syndrome (a form of autism) might caused by the continuing lack of the protein MeCP2 rather than problems with growth and development of the brain caused by the lack of MeCP2. If that seems like splitting hairs, it really isn't. That simple distinction means that Rett's might not be a neurodevelopmental disorder after all.
More logical and more probable:
What if Rett's isn't a form of autism at all but just something that looks like it?
Strange people, they accept something as a fact and then when that thing doesn't conform to the majority of Autism cases one assumes that therefore that autism is more like the thing instead of reaching the obvious conclusion the the thing was wrongly classed.
Never ceases to amaze me.

Audrina Patridge Shows Off Her Bronzed Bikini Bod In Miami
Audrina Patridge was seen doing a little more than soaking up the sun in Miami this past Saturday.
The reality star, looking tan and toned in a multi-colored bikini, was photographed at the beach chatting up a mystery man who clearly wasn't her longtime boyfriend Corey Bohan.
But don't worry, Corey, because Patridge smashed any rumors of romance by innocently playing off the situation on Twitter.
"Didn't expect to get attacked by the paps on beach!!! Along with all the club promoters that get a lil too close for comfort. Lol #miami", she Tweeted.
While there may not be a new man for the former The Hills star, we can't forget the fact that Audrina still has a smokin' hot bikini bod.

Not to be a bother, but could you follow the formatting guidelines?
So, not to be a bother, but could you follow the formatting guidelines? These poor folks submitted in November 2009, only to be rejected unread because their material was poorly formatted.

I have to say that I've yet to find a way to copy and paste from Word to gmail without losing my double spacing. I tried everything--even manually spacing, and then sending it to friends to test, but it lost the formatting every time. I tried different email accounts--same thing. The one email that kept it formatted, went bust a few months ago. Of course, I tried switching to rich text, plain text, and anything else I could think of. I literally spent hours trying to format my submissions. I don't even recall if I submitted to you, but if mine was one that you deleted, just know that it wasn't due to lack of effort.
Most agents want the sample chapter in the body of the email. I've read blogs of some other agents who said not to sweat the formatting of the sample chapter in the email. More than one chapter gets a bit long, and I can't recall if I've ever pasted three chapters into an email.
If it's an attached copy, I can totally understand your frustration though.

These were hard-copy submissions, not emails.

Not to be a bother, but if you're reading sample chapters from November 2009, does that mean my sample chapters got lost somewhere along the way? I sent mine in July 2009.
In addition, you kindly confirmed by email (in November) that you had indeed received my materials, so I know that they arrived.
Thank you.
- Andrew Zack said...
Without a name and a title, it's impossible for me to respond specifically, but I believe I've responded to all sample chapters dated prior to November 2009.

I'm about to submit a graphic novel script to agents. I chose to work to Dark Horse script specifications, which do not specify that the manuscript should be in double spacing - I chose these because Dark Horse are the only publishers I can find who specifically state their script requirements.
I have chosen to put the script in single line format, although as it is a script rather than a novel it includes many spaces between lines (usually between lines of dialogue and panel descriptions).
Would you reject a graphic novel manuscript because of this formatting?
- Andrew Zack said...
I see very, very few graphic novel scripts, but the key word is "script." A script for a graphic novel or movie is not the same as a novel or nonfiction manuscript. Therefore, the formatting requirements are different.

Let Robb & Stucky designers infuse your home with holiday spirit
In much the same way you call upon an expert to adorn the outside of your homes for the holidays, you can do the same for the inside. Just call on the design team at Robb & Stucky in Palm Beach Gardens.
Craig Nelson, the showroom's general manager, said that someone from the Robb & Stucky design team will be happy to visit your residence – be it a private home or condominium in need of holiday décor. "During the complimentary visit, you can discuss your preferences and needs, then decide if you want to proceed. There's no cost for that initial consultation,"
"Offering in-home 'holiday decor' design services is something we are glad to provide because there are consumers who just don't have a special knack for it themselves. Our designers are eager to make your home 'holiday ready,' without it being a hassle," Nelson added. "People oftentimes call upon experts to adorn the outside of their homes this time of year, so why shouldn't they do the same for the inside?"
The Robb & Stucky showroom in Palm Beach Gardens has two trees that are already decked out to the hilt. Those alone can give consumers ideas for their own homes.
"We have gorgeous decorations in The Boutique at Robb & Stucky, too, from traditional blown glass ornaments in red and green combinations to handmade butterflies in a range of sizes," explained Jennifer Lubner, Boutique Manager in Palm Beach Gardens. "Holly stems and gold poinsettias covered in sparkles can add dimension to your tree, as they glisten in the light. Magical, limited edition fairies will also provide a touch of whimsy to any style of holiday décor. And there's much more."
Through December 24 in the same location, there will be table décor set ups displaying innovative centerpieces crafted by their design team, as well as great gift items. Even last-minute holiday gift purchases won't be a problem, as everything is in stock – from crystal and silver barware to Italian linens and jewelry. And Robb & Stucky can gift package and ship, so you won't have to. You can also register for a gift giveaway. The winner will be notified after December 25.
Just like Santa's other elves, the design team at Robb & Stucky Interiors in Palm Beach Gardens is glad to help out this holiday season.
Showroom hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Visit the showroom, located at 3801 Design Center Drive, or call (561) 904-7200 or visit www.robbstucky.com.

The Council provides advice and information on the protection and enhancement of the District's natural environment.
The biodiversity officer is responsible for the production and delivery of the Cherwell biodiversity action plan (BAP). The ecology officer assesses planning applications that impact upon important sites, habitats and species.
Our biodiversity service
The Cherwell BAP, which is updated and reviewed every two years, sets out how the Council will fulfil its duty under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006 and meet other biodiversity legislation and policy requirements.
The 2005-2010 BAP provided a comprehensive working document that helped to focus attention and resources on those habitats and species that are particularly important in the district. Although many of the objectives and actions are out of date, the document provides useful background information about sites, habitats and species.
Both BAPs are available to download from this page.
National context
Biodiversity 2020 is a national strategy for England's wildlife and ecosystem services which was published in 2011. It sets out the Government's ambition to halt overall loss of England's biodiversity by 2020, support healthy well-functioning ecosystems and establish coherent ecological networks, with more and better places for nature for the benefit of wildlife and people. It builds on important elements of the Natural Environment White Paper.
For a summary of Biodiversity 2020, which emphasises the importance of local conservation projects to the delivery of the national strategy's outcomes; and the implications of the Natural Environment White Paper for local authorities, see downloads on this page.
Biodiversity and planning
Four relevant documents are available under downloads -
Some of the important sites, habitats and species in Cherwell are protected by legislation, others by planning policy. Guidance is available in a comprehensive document "Biodiversity and Planning in Oxfordshire".
The most relevant section of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (section 11 paras 109-125) is entitled 'Conserving and enhancing the natural environment' and includes reference to providing net gains for biodiversity where possible, protection and enhancement of networks of biodiversity and green infrastructure, promoting priority habitats and species and the importance of ecosystem services and soils.
There is an emphasis within the NPPF on local planning authorities creating local policy and guidance which both reflects the Framework and, at the same time, the needs and priorities of their communities. Neighbourhood planning legislation came into effect in April 2012 which aims to give communities more control over the development of their local area. Local planning authorities must provide support to help people produce their neighbourhood development plan. Some guidance has been produced to advise on biodiversity and neighbourhood planning.
The adopted Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 (Part 1) policies relating to biodiversity and the natural environment (specifically policies ESD10, ESD11 and ESD17) can be found on pages 101-108 & 122-125 of the Local Plan document.
Oxfordshire BAP and conservation target areas
Biodiversity action at a County level is co-ordinated by Wild Oxfordshire. It manages the conservation target area project.
Conservation target areas (CTAs) have been established for a total of 36 large areas across the county and are the most important areas for wildlife where targeted conservation work will have the greatest benefit. These areas cover 17% of the entire county and include 95% of all the sites of special scientific interest (SSSI), 75% of all the local wildlife sites and 85% of all the mapped UK BAP habitat.
CTAs have been identified as they present the best opportunities for prioritising the conservation, enhancement, and re-creation of both designated sites and important habitats. They also form the focus of efforts for reconnecting habitats and creating networks across Oxfordshire. 22 CTAs in the County are active - in other words there is a lead organization that is co-ordinating conservation projects in each of these areas.
For further information about the Oxfordshire BAP and CTAs, see downloads on this page and/or visit the Wild Oxfordshire website under useful links. The summary document has not been updated since the Oxfordshire Nature Conservation Forum became Wild Oxfordshire but it is factually correct in all other respects.
For further information about SSSIs, visit the Natural England website under useful links and go to land management and then protected sites.
For further information about local wildlife sites and the 'living list' of sites in the Cherwell district, visit the TVERC website under useful links and go to local wildlife sites.
Our partners and projects
Many of the aims and actions within the Cherwell BAP are delivered through the funding of a number of key biodiversity organisations. For further information, go to the Biodiversity Partners webpage
The Cherwell swift conservation project was established in 2008 and aims to:
- identify and protect swift nest sites in the district
- increase nest places for swifts in identified suitable sites
- improve local knowledge of swifts, their life history and the risks they face, particularly from building work.
For further information, go to the Swifts Conservation Project webpage
Parish Councils and communities can provide vital help for wildlife by appreciating, protecting and enhancing biodiversity in their local area. Go to the Community and Parish Biodiversity Guidance webpage for more information.

"Another Debbie DuBose"
A department head change at Oconee Medical Center. Jeanne Ward, president/CEO, announced during last night's board meeting Cortni Nations will succeed Debbie DuBose as executive director of the OMC Foundation. The foundation serves as the private sector fund-raising arm for the hospital and its services. Most recently, Nations has directed the Mountain Lakes AccessHealth project. That program boasts a 70% reduction in emergency visits among its participants and a 54% reduction in costs. And Nations, a Pickens County native, led an effort to raise private support including more than $200 thousand for a community dental clinic. Though retiring, DuBose will still be involved with OMC in what Ward called "special projects." One of the final gifts to the foundation reported by DuBose is a $104 thousand bequest from a Keowee Key couple. DuBose says the bequest by the late Wesley and Margaret Coon is an unrestricted gift for the benefit of the OMC Hospice of the Foothills.

Out & About - U.S. National Whitewater Center
Out & About is an occasional series of stories that highlight the best Charlotte has to offer in arts and culture, shopping and dining, entertainment and sports.
By Katy Lauro
Queens students can get out of their residence halls and enjoy some fresh air at the U.S. National Whitewater Center in southwest Charlotte. Conveniently located 20 minutes from campus, the Whitewater Center has a variety of outdoor amenities:
For thrill-seeking students the Canopy Tour is the newest addition to the center. It guides participants on a zip line through the tree canopies above the wetlands delta and along the banks of the Catawba River. Completing the tour, participants drop off on a rappel style free fall that overlooks the river.
For beginner outdoor explorers, free biking classes are offered weekly throughout the year including a guided trail ride and a short bike clinic. All experience levels are welcome.
The Whitewater Center also hosts monthly events when guests can participate in wine and craft beer tastings, live music and film festivals.
Unlimited access to all water and land sports is available by purchasing a season pass and daily passes are offered for all water and land sports.
Queens students are offered a reduced rate for an all sports pass with their student ID.
To plan a day trip, visit the U.S. National Whitewater Center's website for more information.

Marking the end of an era, Newsweek confirmed Thursday that it will transition to all-digital by the beginning of next year.
In its overview of the State of the News Media in 2011, the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism noted, "Among the major sectors, only newspapers suffered continued revenue declines last year—an unmistakable sign that the structural economic problems facing newspapers are more severe than those of other media. When the final tallies are in, we estimate 1,000 to 1,500 more newsroom jobs will have been lost—meaning newspaper newsrooms are 30% smaller than in 2000."
Is this the end of print media as we know it?
More on GlobalPost: Newsweek Magazine to end print edition by early 2013
Newspaper circulation declined in North America and Europe, by 9.2 percent and 2.9 percent respectively in the period between 2004 and 2009. However, it increased 16.4 percent in South America, 16.1 percent in Asia and 14.2 percent in Africa during the same period, according to a study by Columbia University titled "The Future of Print Media."
Two countries in which newspapers have actually seen an increase in popularity are Brazil and India.
Just this past week, The New York Times announced that it would be launching a Portuguese language online edition in 2013, likely in an effort to attract the large readership base in Brazil. On Oct. 2, The Financial Times announced that it would be expanding into the Latin American market, with a newspaper print site in São Paulo.
John Ridding, the CEO of Financial Times, said, "The launch of the new print site underscores our belief in a healthy future for print." He added, "The FT's growing audience and product offerings in the region also affirm Latin America's emergence as a major center for global business and finance."
The reason international brands are attempting to enter the Brazilian markets could be that newspaper circulation in Brazil, unlike in America, is stronger than ever, supported by a growing middle class. According to the Guardian, most Brazilian newspapers have seen growing sales and revenues. "At the beginning of September, print circulation of the country's newspapers was up 2.3 percent over the previous year."
According to the Instituto Verificador de Circulacao, 73 percent of Brazilians prefer to get their news from print media rather than online sources.
More on GlobalPost: The Guardian shoots down reports that it is moving entirely online
Meanwhile, in India, circulation and revenue from newspapers has also seen an increase.
The Future of Print Media study noted, "From 2007 to 2009 revenue change in newspaper publishing, including advertisement, sales and other sources of income decreased 30 percent in the United States, 21 percent in the United Kingdom, 20 percent in Greece and 10 percent in Germany. By contrast it grew by 9 percent in India."
Robin Jeffrey, the author of "India's Newspaper Revolution," said earlier this year, "I think print in India has 10 to 15 years to go before it hits the sorts of downturn that is changing the print landscapes in the US and elsewhere."
Speaking to the Editors Guild of India in April, he attributed the growth of India's print media to rising literacy rates, according to The Times of India. He said, "The contest over ethics, taste and security in Indian media are similar to those that have gone on in the US, UK and other English speaking countries for more than 200 years."
Indian newspaper The Deccan Herald noted, "The country's population is growing, in principle expanding their reader base. The country is also poor, it will take lot more time for internet to reach everyone."
While it acknowledged that newspaper circulation among young readers is stagnating and traffic to newspaper websites is growing around 30 to 40 percent a year, it also noted that the advertising industry in India has been slow to pick up on the trend of switching to online.
"Print has a reach of 189 million readers in the country. Internet has 96 million readers. Forty per cent of the advertisement-spend is on print, while Internet gets only 5 to 7 percent," said The Deccan Herald. Advertisers are less attracted to internet advertising in India, as the target narrows to a small range of the population.
