text: Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest So Much More than Surge Protection Power, it's the most fundamental component of any system. But spikes, surges, line noise, brownouts and countless other power-related problems can do more than just damage your equipment: they prevent them from performing to their full potential. As John Benz, Director of Power for Panamax/Furman, told us, "When people are shopping at Magnolia, they're looking for an upgraded home theater or audiophile-grade experience. To achieve this, you first need to get the power right. That's why we make these power conditioners; they maximize the potential of the components they protect, allowing them to perform the way they were designed, bringing out the full characteristics of the audio and video." And while that starts with protection, Panamax and Furman products deliver so much more. Protection As most of us know, surges and spikes can wreak havoc on equipment, impacting their longevity as well as their performance. That's why every Panamax and Furman product takes surge protection to another level. "When you think about typical surge protectors, they can be a good front line of defense, but when it comes to certain types of anomalies that can come with power, our products protect against much more than spikes and surges," John told us. "We have very specific technologies to assist with wiring faults, different voltage conditions, brownouts, and other power situations that we've been seeing occur more and more frequently with power being as stretched and unreliable as it is today. It's these conditions that can be detrimental and have a long-term impact on your A/V system. And it's not just lightning; most surges happen right within the home itself. For example, every time your refrigerator turns on, if you ever see the lights dim for a moment, that's a surge, and over time it has a cumulative effect, wearing down the components and shortening their lifespan and functionality." Filtration Typically when we talk about power filtration, the conversation is around AC line noise and how to make that as clean as possible. But many people feel that unless they hear hums, pops and clicks, they don't need a power conditioner. But you might be surprised to learn that AC line noise is everywhere - varying in degrees - but it has a detrimental effect on your equipment. This is especially true these days with all the high bandwidth content in the form of high-resolution audio and ultra high-definition video. "Line noise masks the signal content that creates the ambiance, the harmonics and the overtones and undertones that we pay extra for when we upgrade our speakers and components," John said. "It masks the richness of the black levels, the details, and the resolution and clarity. It's one thing to hear a hiss, but when you're not hearing the really low dynamic overtones, it's the difference between listening to a Stradivarius violin and a regular violin." And why invest more for a Stradivarius, or in Magnolia's case, premium products, if you can't hear the elements that make them premium? John went on to say, "We have specific filters in our products that are tuned to maximize performance in the audio and video frequencies. These filters eliminate noise in these frequencies at the source, so once the power gets to your components, the power quality is not compromising performance. We're able to allow those components to work the way they were meant to work in the first place. Most A/V components are designed to work in laboratory conditions, because manufacturers can't design these products to work in all the varying power situations that exist today. We're here to fix that, make it right from the beginning, so that everything will work the way it was designed to work." BlueBOLTTM: Mobile monitoring and management Panamax and Furman have continually been at the cutting edge of technology when it comes to the products they offer. Their latest innovation is called BlueBOLT, a technology built into select models that allows both monitoring and management of your components' energy usage over the Internet. One of the great benefits of this is for those times when something isn't working and the only solution is to unplug it from the wall then plug it back in again. With BlueBOLT, you can hard-reboot these components right from your smartphone, no more need to physically get behind your system or go into your rack. While that's convenient, BlueBOLT also helps you save energy and money by allowing you to schedule conservation commands for your products. As John told us, "Standby power is a waste of power; when you turn something off, it's not actually turning off all the way, it's still drawing a certain amount of power. So to turn something off completely, you have to unplug it." By using BlueBOLT, you can completely turn on and off these components at will, or schedule them to be turned off throughout the day or when you don't need them. BlueBOLT can even be used for family management. For example, when the kids should be doing homework and they're playing video games instead, you can turn the power off at the source - game over, no further discussion. The BlueBOLTTM web app not only keeps you up to date on your gear's power usage, but it allows you to restart or turn off products from anywhere. Great or great, take your pick With Panamax and Furman, it's not a good-versus-better solution, it's all about your system and what you want to get out of it. With Panamax, you get a very "protection first" mindset: with great filtration and protection for just about any kind of system need. Furman gets more into the performance aspects of very high-end audio/video gear, like audiophile two-channel performance-based systems. For these systems, Furman offers specific technologies for noise filtration and lowering the noise floor. But it all comes down to what your system needs, and Magnolia will match you up with the Panamax or Furman solution that best fits that need, your system and your goals.

Talk about a filler episode. Very little, if anything of note, to talk about. I did like the recurring gag about whether or not two people of opposite genders being together after 7 PM was a date.
Charlie was great as usual, but the interactions with Daisy were not as good as they have been past weeks. Hank was disappointing, although he did have a few lines that I laughed at. The Lew Ashby character is also really irritating. Mixing him with Karen who has zero comedic timing is not a smart move and their scenes were absolutely painful to watch.
It's clear they are building toward the season finale, but come on we deserve better than this.

Edinburgh Zoo's panda Tian Tian no longer pregnant after losing foetus
Animal lovers have been left disappointed after it was announced Edinburgh Zoo's panda Tian Tian is no longer expecting a baby, following claims she was pregnant.
'Splashy splashy splash splash.' - Tian Tian
Pandas, it seems, don't really mind the 'snowmageddon'.
Edinburgh Zoo has confirmed giant panda Tian Tian is no longer expecting.
Edinburgh Zoo officials say their pregnant panda's failure to produce a cub so far could signify 'bad news' for another year
Plane noise may disturb the giant panda, who is possibly pregnant.
The greatest will they/won't they since Ross and Rachel in Friends has come to the fore once more, with zoo keepers closely monitoring Britain's only panda couple as mating season approaches.

Editor's note: The Spencer Magnet aims to feature throughout the month of November first responders in the Spencer County community who are also veterans. This week, we talked to Capt. Charles Partin of the Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Department.
For many, Nov. 11 is just another holiday—a day to think about our soldiers, the vague concept of "freedom," and how war has impacted our country. Most people don't know what it's like to leave for work in the morning and not know if they will be coming home. Most people don't know what it's like to be away from their family for months; to celebrate their birthday in Middle Eastern sand; or to endure the unpredictable strain of post-traumatic stress disorder.
A former Taylorsville resident was arrested in Michigan last week and charged in connection with what are being dubbed the I-96 shootings.
Spencer County property taxpayers who reside within the city should disregard the large $918.26 total printed at the bottom of their corrected tax bill.
Sheriff Donald 'Buddy' Stump said the corrected bills — which taxpayers within the city limits should receive this week — have the value $918.26 largely printed on the bottom of each of the bills. This is an error. Stump said the property owner's accurate amount owed is listed in smaller print at the top of the bill, and that the bills will not be recirculated a third time.
Editor's note: This is the first in a two-part series about how Spencer County Public Schools faired in the first-round of the new Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress — known as K-PREP — assessment. The K-PREP assessment replaces the Commonwealth Accountability Testing System, and, according to state and local educators, has raised academic expectations for public school students across Kentucky. This week's story addresses the district as a whole, while next week's story will address the scores of each individual school.
Signs went up Friday indicating a Taco Bell is coming to Taylorsville. The standard purple and pink Taco Bell logo sign was hung near the entrance to Settlers Center off Taylorsville Road and the words 'Taco Bell' now sit atop the storefront located at 105 Settlers Center Road.
A Spencer County man accused of unlawfully accessing the county's computer system and harassing a Spencer County Sheriff's deputy officially entered a not guilty plea in Spencer District Court on Friday.
What started as an effort to improve radio communications for law enforcement officials has led to disagreements, harsh words and even name-calling between city and county officials.
A recanvass in the race for Spencer County Clerk on Thursday morning yielded the same result as the vote tally last Tuesday night: Republican Lynn Hesselbrock defeated Democrat Abbigail Nation by three votes — 4,144 to 4,141.

After days of renewed fighting between Russia and Ukraine, a peace deal was announced this week, following marathon peace talks in the Belarusian capital of Minsk.
While a cessation of hostilities would come into effect from midnight Feb. 15, somebody needs to call for a ceasefire between these two Ukrainian politicians who got into a brutal fist fight right outside the parliament building in Kiev.
Yegor Sobolev of the Self-Reliance Party and the Fatherland Party's Vadim Ivchenko exchanged blows after an apparent disagreement over a new anti-corruption bill.
While witnesses were busy capturing the fight on camera, guards watched on for several minutes before finally deciding to intervene.

This is not the first time physical violence broke out between two MPs in Ukraine. Last April, a session of parliament was suspended after a fight broke out between nationalists and communists.
Later in September an angry protesters tossed MP Vitaly Zhuravsky into a huge trash bin, before pouring liquid over his face.

It's been a difficult year for the Ukrainian government ever since the conflict with Russia began last year.
Around 5,400 people, mainly civilians, have been killed in eastern Ukraine since the conflict broke out between government troops and rebel forces last year, according to the United Nations.
Although a peace deal has been announced again, Germany's foreign minister cautioned that it is neither a "comprehensive solution" nor a "breakthrough."

Bees make league return
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Barnet will return to The Football League next season after winning Conference title.Barnet will return to The Football League next season after securing the Conference title on Saturday.
The Hertfordshire-based outfit will see league action for the first time in four years after a 3-1 home win over ten-man Halifax Town at Underhill Stadium.
Despite going behind to early strike from Lewis Killeen, Paul Fairclough's side drew level through Ben Strevens ten minutes before the break.
Simon King gave The Bees the lead three minutes after half time before Halifax had John Grant sent off for foul and abusive language on the hour mark.
Giuliano Grazioli scored Barnet's third with a fine low drive from the edge of the box to set up the jubilant celebrations around Underhill on the final whistle.

Overview Edit
The Smart Metering Initiative (SMI) is an initiative of the Government of Ontario, Canada, intended to create in part a conservation culture and support demand management through province-wide smart meter deployment.
The initiative seeks to reduce the need for new power generators, increase conservation, improve reliability of electricity, and provide more accurate and timely energy use information to customers. A Smart Metering Entity (SME) was created to support this initiative by operating a central meter data repository. The SME assists local distribution companies to bill customers, depending on the time of day that customers use electricity (called "time-of-use"). Time-of-use prices are categorized as off-peak, on-peak, or mid-peak, and reflect how much it costs to produce energy throughout the day. The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) is currently designated as the SME. The IESO is designated as an institution covered under Ontario's privacy and access laws.

Phage Selection of Bicyclic Peptide Ligands of the Notch1 Receptor
Precise regulation of the Notch signaling pathway is crucial, as increases or deficiencies in signaling are associated with diseases, including a wide range of cancers. Recent studies have demonstrated that monoclonal antibodies that bind and stabilize the structure of the negative regulatory region (NRR) in the extracellular domain of the Notch receptor can inhibit Notch signaling. In this work, we posed the question whether bicyclic peptides, being around 100-fold smaller than antibodies, can also stabilize the NRR and inhibit Notch signaling. Bicyclic peptides that bind the NRR of human Notch1 were isolated from combinatorial libraries by phage display. Affinity maturation yielded ligands with dissociation constant (K-d) values as low as 150nM. The bicyclic peptides increased the melting temperature of the NRR by up to 8 degrees C, thus substantially stabilizing the protein structure, but they did not inhibit Notch signaling in cellular assays. Although Notch signaling could not be inhibited, this work demonstrates that phage-selected bicyclic peptides can stabilize proteins; this capacity of bicyclic peptides may be exploited for modulating the conformation of other disease targets.

Maceo Anderson
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification, as it includes attribution to IMDb. (June 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Maceo Anderson (September 3, 1910 - July 4, 2001 in Los Angeles, California) expressed an interest in dancing at the age of three. As a child, he used to sneak into the Lafayette Theatre to watch performances with his young friends. He and his friends would practice dance routines. As a young man in his teens, he founded a trio of dancers who performed at Harlem's Cotton Club.
Anderson was the founder of the tap dancing group known as "The Four Step Brothers". The group performed successfully for over thirty years. They were credited as being the first black act to perform at Radio City Music Hall. "The Four Step Brothers" also made television and motion picture appearances. Their dance routines were a unique blend of soft shoe, tap, acrobatic tricks, and "flashy" footwork. The dancers in the group attempted to outperform one another. Anderson performed with the group throughout their existence. They performed abroad and with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Ellington wrote "Mystery Song" for Anderson and his performing friends, Al Williams and Mr. Walker. The three performed together as "The Three Step Brothers" until the 1930s when they added a fourth performer to the group and at that time, they became known as "The Four Step Brothers".
For a short period of time, the foursome did not perform together. Anderson was drafted into the United States Army in 1941. In 1943, "The Four Step Brothers" were asked to perform in a variety of short Hollywood films. In 1946, they performed with Frank Sinatra and then embarked on a six-month performance at the Parisian Le Lido followed by tours to Italy and Spain. In 1953, they performed with Bob Hope in Here Come the Girls.
After retiring from dance, Anderson became a church minister and actively worked to help the homeless in the Los Angeles area. "The Four Step Brothers" were honored in 1988 with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Maceo Anderson died in Los Angeles, California on July 4, 2001. His grandson, Robert L. Reed and Reed's children, have followed "in the steps" of Mr. Anderson and are tap dancing performers.

The week seems to have flown by which probably means it is a good one. So let's celebrate the great things coming my way.
1. My husband has two job interviews this week one up North and one down South. He has also attended an induction day for some casual minimum wage driving work. He has other job applications in and we continue to look wishing that the "right" job advertisement would have a big red circle around it as if by magic.
2. The children are back at school. I have mixed feelings about this as the dreaded school run and all that goes with it is also back. However, they are happy to be back with their friends and I am enjoying quieter days where I can get things done effectively.
3. My word of the week last week was Glimmers and these continue to appear where I am concerned. I am keeping the faith.
4. On the first day of back to school, Him Indoors and I headed to town just for a little walk and a coffee at the local cafe. It felt like an exciting date as we get so little one on one time as a couple. We then called in the charity shop where I found a brand new dress or two of very good makes at prices you would not believe. I snapped them up because I fully intend to be needing to wear them soon for meetings and the like.
5. My brother paid me a surprise visit lending his support at a time when we need it. He also took a big box of photos and other things I had set aside for him during my decluttering exercise.
6. I have managed to have one on one quality time with each of the children this week. I really enjoy this and they do too. It is one of the benefits of my husband being around more that we can juggle things a bit better.
7. I am back to healthy eating and taking part in Wobbles Wednesday.
8. I did a Groovy Mums post and 9 mums have linked up so far with more promising to get involved. I love reading the very individual ways that mums want to rediscover or reinvent themselves.
9. I started Project 365 because I really want to take a lot more photos this year. It is something I enjoy and this will give me the motivation to keep up with photography for fun and the recording of memories.
10. I won a competition – a sliver pendant and chain.
11. We are switching off the television more and this is having a very good impact on family fun and family learning. Really enjoyed hours looking into the JFK assassination theories yesterday evening.
10. Finally, I am delighted to see how many people have sponsored me for the Cancer Research UK Dryathalon as well as to note how much better I am feeling alcohol-free.

Im 4'8 and im 17... I can't get much taller since my growth plates are closed.
Height generally isn't very important, but it gets to a point where it's just not really feasible with someone 6'2"
It will vary a lot between different guys. Some guys, like me, won't care about height at all, and will date really tall women, or really short women, or anything in between. The height isn't an issue. Some have issues with women taller than them, so that won't matter for you at all. Some will have issues with extremes, so really tall or really short, and for them you might be a bit too short.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, there will be plenty of guys that have no problem dating a really short woman.
Most guys dont mind. Damn that's hella short though haha. You make a good arm rest.
yup i like short girls very much, they are like a cute little minions :)
You will be just fine! I'm sure you will be in great demand from guys. Petite is best, and you ARE petite!
My granny was under 5 ft.
My mom was under 5 ft.
My wife is under 5 ft.
My sister in law is under 5 ft.
They all got married.
I love short girls, I am 6 feet and a half an inch tall, always liked short girls, i like tall ones too, but short ones have always caught my eyes
4'8" is super petite and super cute!
That's short, but it's the perfect height for blowjobs.
You could use that if you have any issues. lol.
As long as they remain hwp, guys adore them. The problem is most get fat early.
@consultantisback wh wi th ev le
i have a crush on a short girl atm but she's already taken.
I dunnno i think short girls are sexy, i married one.
Yes... I do and she is beautiful 5'2" eyes of blue... Hot little blond..
Lol your taller then ny ex girlfriend so yes we do like short girls
I do. And in a world of billions there are lots of people who do

As Eric Holder Sees America
Now where are all those fine
Holder, who chose not to prosecute New Black Panthers who were caught on tape clearly intimidating voters in 2008, was a bad egg way before the confirmation vote.
From his help in freeing FALN terrorists and approval for pardoning fugitive financier Marc Rich, during the Clinton administration, Holder's track record is one that shouldn't have garnered one vote from either party, especially the "opposition" party, the Republicans.

Obama Gets The Blame On The Border
Rightfully so...
The man needs stopped.
The public largely blames President Obama for the flood of children who have poured over the border in recent weeks, creating a growing humanitarian crisis, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll released Monday.As well as the IRS scandal and the Iraq mess.
The man needs stopped.
Worst President Since WWII (Updated)
I still say worst ever...
Powerline notes the demographics...
Quinnipiac found 45 percent of voters say the country would have been better off if Mr. Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, had been election, while just 38 percent say Mr. Obama remains a better choice. Even Democrats aren't so sure — just 74 percent of them told the pollsters Mr. Obama was clearly the better pick in the last election.
Voters also rate him the worst president since World War II, topping even his predecessor, President George W. Bush, who had left office with terrible ratings.
"Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.Impeach and try him for treason, along with Eric Holder. They would make great cellmates...
Powerline notes the demographics...
The demographics of the Quinnipiac poll won't give the Obama administration any comfort: respondents were 26% Republican, 31% Democrat, and 35% independent. It reminds us once again that independents tend to think much more like Republicans than Democrats.

Disclaimer – if you read this and start having this dream, I'm not paying for your therapy.
As promised in my post about how Air New Zealand helped me with my fear of flying, here is a brief description of my recurring anxiety dream involving an airplane. I am going to get this out quickly and won't go into too much detail, as it's not fun for me to write this.
I'm in a plane packed with passengers, seated about halfway back near the wing. Everything seems normal, but I have an overwhelming feeling of dread and lack of control. The plane begins to move, we taxi around and start to trundle down the runway. Everybody is reading their papers and relaxing, except for me – I can feel that something is wrong. We start zooming along and the overhead bins rattle. As we reach maximum ground speed I can feel the plane's nose tilt up as we begin angling up into the air. We lift off, and at first everything seems ok as we gain altitude but then instead of leveling off the plane steadily keeps angling upward, and upward, and upward, and nobody seems to notice but me that the trajectory of the plane is starting to feel too steep to be sustainable. I can hear the engines start to whine with the strain of aiming the plane higher and higher, until the other passengers suddenly start to scream and wail and I sit perfectly still with my hands gripping my knees and I stare out the window at the clouds as I try to mentally block out their noise and choose exactly what I want to think about as I die, as that's the only thing I can do besides panic like everybody else. As the screams grow louder, the plane reaches its tipping point and I feel it slow and begin to fall backwards, backwards, and we start to spin as we plummet faster and faster. I can see the ground below growing closer, turning. It's always a different scene and I can make out every detail, sometimes a city with countless buildings and streets and people looking up at us in horror, sometimes a field with calm and beautiful rows of corn, sometimes a mountain patterned with cliffs and trees. Sometimes I feel the impact and the flames as we burn, sometimes it's a sudden, jolting blackout. Either way, it's death.
I'm always surprised to be alive when I eventually wake up, which usually feels like a long time after the sequence ends.
SO MUCH FUN, RIGHT! I hope you don't ever have that dream, I wouldn't wish it on anybody. It's the worst.
Thankfully I've made great progress. Here's to healing and retraining the mind! It can be done.

Vassar College Hires "Sharpshooters" to kill local deer. Please use alternative to "cull"
In January of this year (2010), Vassar College hired a company to kill the local deer so they can control the population, rather than using other methods. I am a resident of Poughkeepsie, and since the "cull" I have not seen 1 deer. Until last night. The picture I attached is the 3 beatiful deer that were able to escape being killed. Please follow the link to my blog, http://avoice4animals.blogspot.com/ where you can read the whole story, and please sign the petition here on CHANGE.ORG and the one on my blog that gets sent from "In Defense of Animals". Thank you so very much!

- President, Vassar College
President Catharine B. Hill
The use of fertility control for free-roaming deer has been documented for at least the past two decades through the use of safe and effective immunocontraception. Unfortunately, deer contraception is underutilized in favor of ineffective and inhumane killing. Sadly, Vassar has chosen to perpetuate the status quo rather than explore emerging methods that are more effective.
As an academic institution, Vassar is in a perfect position to utilize its faculty and student resources to implement a program of deer contraception. The money used to hire sharpshooters should instead by applied towards a non-lethal program of deer population control.
Vassar needs a deer management program, not a deer extermination program.
Please put a stop to the cruel killing and opt instead to explore ways to treat wildlife with compassion and respect.

Caldwell hoping for Hibs deal
By Alex Livie
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The defender is on the brink of severing his ties with Newcastle, after failing to prove himself to Sir Bobby Robson, and could soon be on the move north of the border.
Caldwell spent time on loan at Easter Road earlier in his career and admits he has always fancied having another crack at life in The SPL.
''I have been in talks with Newcastle for the past few days and I am trying to sort things out and see what is happening," he said. "I went on loan to Hibs a couple of years ago and played 11 games. I loved it at Easter Road and had a great time.
''They are a good club and I have always said I would jump at the chance to go back. There are just a few things that need to be tied up, then it could be done."
Caldwell has been aware for some time that he had no future on Tyneside.
''I am not sitting about here, kidding on I am a Newcastle player any longer," he added.
''I want to play first-team football. I would be delighted to play in The SPL again.
''When I was loan at Hibs, I was fortunate enough to be capped four times for my country.
''That showed me, that if you are playing first-team football and playing well, you will get your chance in the national set-up.
''I am getting to the stage where I want to be playing at the highest level. To do that I need to be playing club football.
''Hopefully, something can be done soon.''

AbstractSilicon carbide is a semiconductor ideally suited for high power, frequency, speed and temperature applications. This project proposes a unique ion beam synthesis method of epitaxial silicon carbide on compliant substrates. The technique produces low energy, high current ions to promote surface mobility for high quality epitaxy. This ion synthesis method bypasses the usual thermal pathways, resulting in much lower growth temperature to minimize thermal mismatch problems. Growth on the thin compliant buffer layer may prevent dislocations from forming during growth. The epitaxy process will be followed by in-situ monitoring techniques for close process control. The proposed work is based on our SiC molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) experience. We will investigate the ion synthesis in a modified MBE reactor, study the reaction mechanism, and cary out material characterization. The method can be scaled up to large sizes for cost-effective epiwafer production.

On Tuesday, Chris Rock posted a selfie of him getting pulled over by the cops for the third time in seven weeks. The caption read, ""Stopped by the cops again wish me luck."
Rock was pulled over on Feb. 13 and Feb. 27 and shared both incidents on social media.
Rock has often joked about racial profiling. In a 2013 episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld and Rock were pulled over for speeding.
"It'd be such a better episode if he pulled me to the side and beats the s**t out of me, don't you think?" Rock joked. "Now here's the crazy thing: If you weren't here, I'd be scared. Yeah, I'm famous — still black."
In response, former "Grey's Anatomy" actor Isaiah Washington suggested to Rock on Twitter that the comedian should adapt to racial profiling.
I sold my $90,000.00 Mercedes G500 and bought 3 Prius's, because I got tired of being pulled over by Police. #Adapt @chrisrock — Isaiah Washington (@IWashington)
April 1, 2015
His controversial message sparked a firestorm of rage with Twitter:
Prius won't save you from #DWB @IWashington i know. trust. — Questlove Gomez (@questlove)
April 1, 2015
And is @IWashington implying that Black folks who drive less expensive cars won't be pulled over by cops? That logic is broken as hell. — Elon James White (@elonjames)

Game Rant's Ben Kendrick reviews Alan Wake's American Nightmare
On May 18th 2010, gamers were treated by the release of two critically-acclaimed titles: one (Red Dead Redemption) would go on to sell over 13 million copies, the other (Alan Wake) racked up plenty of rave reviews (read our Alan Wake review) but suffered disappointing sales as a result of Rockstar's mega-hit Western-themed offering. However, over the last two years word of mouth (as well as budget price-points) have encouraged more and more gamers to journey into the darkness with Alan Wake.
In an effort to draw even more attention to the would-be-franchise, Remedy has released the downloadable spin-off installment, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, through Xbox Live Arcade. Does the digital-only experience take the best pieces of the original Alan Wake (the atmosphere, story, and familiar literary as well as cinematic allusions) while also refining some of the title's less successful gameplay mechanics (most notably repetitive combat and limited enemy types)?
Much like its predecessor, Alan Wake's American Nightmare is a mishmash of enjoyable ideas that are undermined by a few sub-par, and this time flat-out bizarre, design choices. Remedy has been quick to point out that American Nightmare is not a direct sequel – so it's hard to know whether or not the problematic elements are merely the result of the downloadable title's limited scope or a larger misconception by the developers regarding what actually worked the first time. Either way, despite its shortcomings, there's little doubt that fans of the original title – or gamers looking for a quick and fun one-off experience will likely enjoy their time with Wake in Night Springs.
In terms of the over-arching canon plot (one of the major strengths in the series), as mentioned, American Nightmare is presented as a stand-alone story – which, though it has connections to the prior installment (as well as the subsequent DLC chapters), is bookended within the context of a Night Springs TV episode. For anyone not up to speed on Alan Wake, the titular writer got his big break working on a Twilight Zone-like TV series, Night Springs. As a result, American Nightmare doesn't advance the series storyline much (or at all – depending on how you interpret the ending) and simply offers-up a parallel storyline where, trying to escape the dark presence, Wake is caught in a time loop – forced to relive the same experiences over and over (with only minor adjustments) as he attempts to reshape reality and defeat his evil doppleganger Mr. Scratch. The story is intriguing, especially as the various changes begin to actually affect Wake's success in each locale, but the narrative definitely falls short of the quality and complexity introduced in the full retail title. This round dialogue is stilted and, with the exception of Wake as well as Mr. Scratch, NPC characters are mostly flat and uninteresting.
Similarly, while the "time loop" plot line makes for an increasingly engaging story, the resulting gameplay is actually a major step backward for the Alan Wake design team – who were often criticized for the repetitive gameplay in the first title. Instead of funneling the player through a tense but expansive environment (as in the original game), American Nightmare is comprised of three sandbox-like areas, The Rest Stop, The Observatory, and The Drive-In Theater – where, instead of fighting his way through an isolated forest filled with dark enemies, Wake is actually sent on a variety of quests by NPC's (i.e. find objects scattered around the map or defend a certain point from franchise enemies "The Taken").
Once all three areas have been cleared of their objectives, Wake revisits the locales again (and again) – each time with minor changes that simplify the fetch quests and other objectives to try and undercut some of the repetition. It's a slick plot device that allows for Remedy to significantly extend the playtime of the experience without having to actually create nine fresh environments; however, there's no doubt that, as a result of the repetition (as well as limited georgraphical scope), some gamers will feel cheated.
Two areas where Remedy did improve-upon the overly-recurring elements in the original title are enemy variety and weaponry.
In the original game, defeating enemies nearly always relied on the same strategy: use the light and (depending on the enemy type) then shoot. However, in American Nightmare, there are some enemies that actually act negatively to the light – such as The Splitter (who actually splits in two, then four, then eight, each time it is hit with a focused flashlight beam). Enemy mobility is also improved with the addition of The Spectre – who, instead of lumbering towards Wake, can transform into a flock of birds and quickly flank the writer. While the basic mechanics remain largely the same, and the encounters (even with all the new enemy types) do get repetitive, players will definitely be forced to use a more strategic approach to combat this round.
The weaponry has also been upgraded with the inclusion of a crossbow (which can injure enemies even when they're still covered in darkness), combat shotgun (which deals out massive damage and offers a relatively quick rate of fire), and an assault rifle (which burns through ammo but easily takes down bigger baddies), among others. Much like the prior title, American Nightmare isn't the most precise shooter on the market but the combination of light/gunplay is still enjoyable and the new weapons certainly provide players with some fresh options for combat.
The campaign does a solid job of introducing the new weaponry (many of which can only be unlocked by successfully collecting a certain number of the collectable manuscript pages) and enemy types but the additions are especially important for the game's new "Fight 'Till Dawn" arcade mode. As we've previously mentioned, the new mode adds loads of replay value for gamers who enjoy the core light/shooting mechanics – though, compared to similar "Horde" modes (as in Gears of War 3 or even the upcoming Mass Effect 3), the offering isn't particularly deep.
Players should expect an experience much more akin to Resident Evil 4 and 5's "Mercenaries" mode – where gamers scavenge the environment for supplies and rack up kills and multiplier points (earned by dispatching enemies and successfully evading oncoming attacks) in an allotted amount of time. Ultimately, the offering does add replay value to the package and can be a lot of fun – but, aside from the weapons (which can be unlocked easily in one campaign playthrough), there are no leveling or unlock systems to keep players coming back again and again. That said, especially experienced players can also tackle the various maps on "Nightmare" difficulty – where enemies take more damage and Wake is easier to kill.
The addition of "Nightmare" difficulty is only available in the arcade mode – as the campaign has a fixed difficulty level which, for returning Alan Wake players, will probably be a breeze. In general, as a result of the open-world feel, Alan Wake's American Nightmare is much less challenging and a significantly less-scary experience. It's unfair to say an easier difficulty and a less spooky atmosphere are negatives – since this is a spin-off experience in an entirely different locale; however, with a campaign length around three hours and very few "scares," some players may be left feeling underwhelmed by some of the elements they loved in the first game. Gone are the days of scrambling for batteries or frantically rushing up a hill toward an illuminated safe-point while flashing pursuing "Taken" with a beam of focused light – just to buy more time.
Collectible enthusiasts will also find that the manuscript pages are significantly easier to find this round – since they appear on radar when close-by and, for the most part, are littered near objective points. Collecting the scattered pages as well as listening to radio shows and television messages from Mr. Scratch definitely extends the time in-game but not by much, as I spent about five hours in the campaign and found 9/9 radio shows, 9/9 TV shows, and 52/53 manuscript pages.
Ultimately, many of the core Alan Wake design problems return in American Nightmare – leading to a bizarre mishmash of cool ideas that are undermined by extremely repetitive gameplay experiences. However, Alan Wake's American Nightmare does provide another engaging trip through the mind of the titular writer. Fans who enjoy the combat mechanics and main storyline will likely be satisfied by this downloadable release – which offers plenty of intriguing story ideas plus more monsters, better weaponry, and a likable, albeit forgettable, arcade offering. That said, hopefully Remedy manages to improve upon the core mechanics even further (as well as brings back the tense and scary atmosphere) when the titular writer returns for Alan Wake 2.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare is out now – exclusively on Xbox 360.

CHASKA, Minnesota, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Patrick Reed, who memorably tried to 'shush' the 2014 Gleneagles crowd by putting his index finger to his lips, looks like he is ready to make a big noise for the U.S. in Friday's opening Ryder Cup foursomes.
Captain Davis Love III surprised no one at Thursday's opening ceremony when he named Reed and Jordan Spieth, his powerhouse pairing, to take on European strongmen Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose in the first match out.
"Patrick's name is at the top of the list, our most fired-up guy is going to be in front of the most fired-up crowd maybe in the history of golf so that's a good start," Love told reporters as he looked to end Europe's run of three successive wins in the team event.
"And then you have a guy (Spieth) that can handle that crowd and handle the pressure playing with him against two of the best players."
The Americans were beaten by 16-1/2 to 11-1/2 points in Scotland two years ago but one of the few bright spots to emerge from their third successive defeat in the biennial competition was the performance by the Reed-Spieth alliance.
The pair were unbeaten in three matches, winning twice by handsome margins of 5&4 and 5&3, and halving their other tussle together.
"For the last six months, Patrick Reed has just been so excited," said Love.
"We just felt that first-tee atmosphere just fits him and Jordan to get it kicked off. We liked Patrick getting out there first."
Reed was overjoyed to be paired again with twice major winner Spieth.
"I'm pumped that Jordan and I are playing together, it's awesome," he said. "It's going to be a battle of four great golfers, it's going to be so much fun."
Spieth appeared to have no doubts about the outcome of the opening match.
"We believe in ourselves and we'll go out there and get our job done and put a point on the board for the United States," he said.
Whether Love is deluding himself or he genuinely believes it is the case, he said the 12 players he had at his disposal would carry no previous baggage into this year's Ryder Cup.
"This team has never played together before," he added. "This is a new 12.
"We are not looking at past records, we're looking at tomorrow morning." (Editing by Mark Lamport-Stokes)

Palaeontological Research Institution
The Marcellus Shale – a vast rock formation that holds a huge reservoir of natural gas – is at the center of one of the most controversial natural resources issues of our time. This is primarily because of the unconventional method used to extract gas from the shale – slickwater horizontal high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or hydrofracking. Concerns about how widespread use of the practice will affect the natural environment – most especially freshwaters at the local level and climate at the global level – have thrust geology into the public view in a way seldom otherwise experienced. The Science Beneath the Surface reviews the major science and technology issues around this complex topic, offering impartial, evidence-based, thought-provoking information to help citizens decide what to do.

AGWM Mobilization
1445 N. Boonville Avenue
Springfield, MO 65802-1894
Jeff Hartensveld
Mobilization Director
Guyla Armstrong – email@example.com
Administrative Coordinator
The Mobilization Director maintains and builds relationships with the public, local churches, districts, parachurch entities and all missionaries on itineration. The director also oversees the production of missions education and information materials and directs missions promotional events conducted throughout the United States.
The Itineration department tracks progress of candidate and veteran missionaries. They also provide training for candidate missionaries and assist with final clearance procedures. This department participates in district and regional missions leadership seminars and partners with district missions directors in promotion of missions and missionaries.
As director of AGWM Mobilization, Jeff Hartensveld is responsible for assisting missionaries in raising their budgets and helping them reach the fields of their calling. He also works in partnership with district missions leaders to help missionaries communicate their vision to local churches that will support them in prayer and finances.
Jeff grew up in Wayne, New Jersey. He received Christ as his Savior at age 15 at Calvary Temple Assembly of God, his home church. The following year he was baptized in the Holy Spirit. From that point forward, he never considered any other pursuit in life than serving as a missionary.
After high school Jeff enrolled at Valley Forge Christian College. While in college he met his wife, Liz, who also sensed a call to missions as a teenager. The couple married in 1987.
To gain ministry experience, Jeff served as associate pastor at an Assemblies of God church in Glenolden, Pennsylvania. In 1989, the Hartensvelds were approved as missionaries to Indonesia, and they arrived on the field in September 1990.
The Hartensvelds spent a year in language school to learn Bahasa Indonesian. During the remainder of their first term they lived in Malang, where they taught in the Bible school and ministered in church planting and child evangelism. During this time, Jeff also learned basic communication in Javanese.
Soon after their second term began, the family moved to Surabaya, where they planted International Christian Assembly. The church has grown to 1,200 in attendance and maintains a strong missions focus. Ministries of the church include outreaches at a garbage dump and an orphanage.
When a massive earthquake and tsunami struck Indonesia in 2004, Jeff assisted the international relief effort. For two years he organized outreach teams to the hardest hit areas, and the work they accomplished continue to make both a physical and spiritual difference for struggling communities.
In 2012, after 23 years in Indonesia, Jeff was named director of AGWM Mobilization.
Jeff has a bachelor's degree in Bible with a missions emphasis from Valley Forge Christian College in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, and a master's degree in biblical literature from Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Springfield, Missouri. He and Liz have three daughters: Leah, Kelly and Rebekah.

A fifty followed by four thumps
Costly drops
Catching is slowly becoming a serious problem for Australia. The team prides itself on its fielding but seven went down in the first innings, assisting India significantly as they reached 526. Michael Hussey and Ricky Ponting missed more difficult attempts, but those hit to Phil Jaques at short leg and Michael Clarke, off his own bowling, would normally have been taken.
Knock knock
It took a while but Brett Lee managed to snare Sachin Tendulkar with a set-up. First he let loose a short-of-a-length ball that Tendulkar inside-edged onto his knee. A long break ensued, with the umpires calling for drinks as the batsman received treatment, before Lee began to charge in for the next ball. Predictably, with two fielders on the legside boundary, it was a short one and Tendulkar decided to go for the pull, holing out to Brad Hogg at backward square leg. Tendulkar got a friendly pat from Lee, before hobbling off slowly, acknowledging the grandstand applause.
An apology and a chest-thump
Harbhajan Singh was in the thick of the action for most of the afternoon, bringing up his second fifty of the series. He was in no mood for a scrap: a collision with Stuart Clark, when he was completing a run, prompted an immediate apology. His half-century, though, was followed by a big celebration - he thumped his chest four times before raising his bat to various parts of the ground. He was coming back into Test cricket after a tumultuous couple of weeks and had made his return one to remember.
Six degrees of separation
There was a time when sportsmen wore black armbands only when a hero or a team-mate passed away, but these days flicking through the local paper's obituaries and spotting someone with a similar name to yours almost qualifies as a reason to get out the electrical tape. On day two, some of the New South Wales players in the team were paying respect to the death of the grandmother of Pat Farhart, the state side's physio.
No peanut gallery
The fun police have been out in force over the last few days, confiscating beachballs at will. There's one place they can't reach (or haven't yet, anyway) and that's the spillover area outside the media box where one kind chap has been bringing round bottles of water. He's Australia's version of the peanut thrower in the Caribbean but, unlike his compatriot, he's not been told to quit.
