Ice Storm!
Northwest Arkansas has suffered a devastating ice storm this week. Power was out to about 300,000 people, us included. Almost every tree is down near where we live. Many streets are closed due to downed trees and power lines. I haven't seen the rest of NWA yet but Fayetteville is a big mess! Kori and the kids left Monday morning to head south to her parent's house where they have heat/power. After one freezing night at home, I decided to go join them!
Our office is closed until further notice. If you are ready to book us to photograph your wedding, please call Jason on his cell phone at 479-466-1356. For all other matters we will call you back once power is restored and we are back at work.
We were able to find some beauty within the storm too...

I enjoyed the book, but the Overdrive version was not that great on my Android phone. A couple of chapters were impossible to access; I could read the first page, but when I tried to read the second page the system flipped to the end of the chapter. Checking out books on Kindle worked much better!
I loved Wool. That being said it was so hard to get into Sand. The characters just weren't developed enough to get in to. The world was a world I just couldn't wrap my head around and imagine as the story took place. I wanted to love this book to, but was disappointed.

|Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be stuck in a video game? Here's your chance.
An AI system called NOVAIS has taken over a pre-existing MMO and is now trying to create its own world. However, it realized too late that what made the gaming world so interesting was the interactions by real life people. In an attempt to fix this void, NOVAIS has created a program that can take in a person's living data and copy it into its world. But that's not all it's taking: it's also taking pieces of the real world to further expand its infinite cyber universe. Better still, the only way out is to complete the game—whatever that end may be. Although there's an outside force trying to hack in to fix the problem, it's up to the unwitting "players" to find the source and free themselves.
But time is ticking.
NOVAIS is reading and recording all pertinent data, and that includes what each individual character does in the game. What better way to create a population in its own little world than just have the ones in it stay forever and become a living part of it? There's no reason to go back home because...their homes are here, too. The longer they stay in the game, the higher the risk of losing their own memories, believing that they are actually a part of the game and essentially becoming "one" with the game. But there is also another risk: the chance of their own world merging with this one. Is NOVAIS merely copying parts of their world...or is it actually taking it into its own?
Welcome to the game. How will you beat this story?

Grace is 27, married to her high-school sweetheart, makes good money, and should be way happier than she is.

Or maybe…they're actually going to save her. A funny play about sad people.

From the army of the Kanawha.the retreat of Rosencranz--Gen. Floyd's Column on the March--appearance of an army in motion — an Incident, &c., &c.
The Lynchburg Republican, of the 22d, contains an interesting letter from its editor, R. H. Glass, Esq., attached to General Floyd's staff, dated ' "Richmond Ferry, 20 miles west of Sewell, Oct. 12,"' from which we extract the following: ' The latest information in reference to the movements of Rosencranz is, that he has retired the last of his men from the south side of the Gauley, and is, probably, in hasty retreat with his main strength to the banks of the Ohio. He has probably left small detachments at Gauley Bridge and Carnifax's Ferry, to defend those passes, but this is only conjecture. We are little capable up here of judging the cause of this sudden backward movement of the enemy, but we have reasons to suppose that it was occasioned in great part by the conscious impossibility of breaking through our compact lines at Sewell, and by the imminent dangers which seem to threaten Cincinnati itself. The rapidly advanced movements of the Confederates in Kentucky and Missouri will have a wonderful tendency to weaken the enemy's lines in Western and Northwestern Virginia. On Friday morning last our encampment on Sewell was struck, and General Floyd's column took up its line of march to the Kanawha Valley by the road running west of New River, through Fayette, Raleigh, Boone, &c., while Lee and Loring still remain on Sewell. It is the purpose of Gen. Floyd to strike the Kanawha about ten miles above Charleston, and thus throw himself in the rear of the enemy, unless he retreats before him to the Ohio. In either event, the expedition, it is confidently believed, will prove a most important and successful one. It is understood that the movement will be greatly strengthened by the speedy advance of the central column of Lee and Loring along the line of Rosencranz's retreat. You will not be surprised, therefore, if our combined forces winter in the rich valley of the Kanawha, and the enemy be expelled our soil in that section of the State. We felt sad in leaving our entrenched position upon Sewell, where we expected our little army to have covered itself again with the laurels of a glorious victory. But it may be that our work has not been in vain, as the continually changing tide of war may yet float us back to them, and make them of great importance in our defence. They cover a space of about four miles, and though temporary in their character, were nevertheless quite formidable. The earthen portion of them on Burwell's Mount will probably remain for a century, and be the object of curious interest to our children's children.--'"'T was from this point,"' they may exclaim, "that the tide of Northern aggression was turned back in the war of our independence in 1861. You can form no adequate conception of the condition of the roads in these mountains. The like of them, I presume, has never been seen. Between the two Sewells they are impassable to any single team. It requires six horses to move a two-horse load, and even then it is a slow and tedious business. It is almost impossible for a horse to move out of a walk from General Floyd's to Gen. Lee's camp, and before we could take up our march on yesterday, we had to cut a new road nearly four miles long! It was impossible to move over the old road, and, even now, we have to keep large forces in front repairing the road to make it passable. Did you ever see an army in motion? It is a most interesting and imposing sight, though the most tedious mode of traveling in the world. A regiment moves off in double file, led by its Colonel, and is followed by a long train of lumbering wagons. Then comes another regiment, followed by its baggage train; then comes a park of artillery, then another regiment and its train, and so on, alternately, moves the line for miles out of your sight. If a single wagon stalls the whole rear train has to stop until the vehicle is dragged out of the mud, for in many places the road is so narrow that not even a horse, and sometimes not a footman, can pass a single wagon. The consequence is we move about ten miles a day, and when night comes both men and horses are well broken down with the excessive labors of the day. We then have our horses to feed, our beeves to butcher, our tents to pitch, and our suppers to cook, when refreshing sleep closes in upon our labors. But when the roads and the weather are good we make 15 or 20 miles a day with much less fatigue and trouble. I have been curious to note how soon volunteer service accustoms men to all the hardships and inconveniences of life. A thousand incidents, which would cause men to curse themselves out of their boots at home, are endured in the army with the greatest patience, and sometimes become the sources of his greatest amusement. We soon learn to laugh at our own troubles, and to surmount difficulties, incur dangers, and endure hardships from which we would involuntarily shrink at home. War, therefore, as well as adversity, bath its uses, and is to a nation what the latter is to an individual. When peace returns, we will be a more hardy, self-reliant, moral, and religious people. I had intended to sketch several interesting and heroic incidents connected with the battle of the Gauley, but I have deferred it so long, that I shall omit it altogether now.--But there is one incident which I will venture, even at this late day, to record. When Gen. Floyd had crossed the river in his retreat, he discovered that, by the oversight of his servants, his fine sword, which he seldom wore, had been left at his late headquarters. To get it was a question of intense importance to him and his friends, for I verily believe he would as soon lose his life as his sword should have fallen into the hands of the despised foe. Day had just dawned — our troops were all across the river — it was a full mile and a half to our deserted breastworks, and to return to them was certainly a most perilous undertaking. The Rev. J. J. McMamon, of Smythe county, chaplain in the 45th regiment, happened to be the only person by the General at the moment the loss was discovered, and without a moment's hesitation he heroically volunteered to return for the left prize. He trudged the whole distance on foot, passed through our encampment to the point where the General's headquarters had been, directly at the breastworks, and in full view of the enemy's position, obtained the sword, and returned with it to the river, just as the bridge was thrown down and the last boat but one had been destroyed! Such an act of disinterested courage is seldom performed, and never by one who is not a brave man and a true friend. We have been deeply pained to learn to-day of the death of Mr. J. A. Totten, a volunteer from Logan county, who, for a long time, has been acting at our headquarters as Clerk, Provost Marshal, and Postmaster. He was much esteemed by all of us for his business habits and private virtues. He had just been promoted to a Quartermaster's place, when he was stricken down by that terrible scourge of the soldier — typhoid fever. He was a good Christian, but leaves a large and dependent family to mourn his loss. Lieut. Arrington, of Concord, is quite sick, and has been removed to Lewisburg. A good many of his companions are also sick, and one of them, whose name I have forgotten, has died. Capt. Rector, himself, has been quite sick, and is not yet fit for duty. '

It didn't look like a great slate of games coming in, but Saturday turned out to be full of upsets and last-second thrillers. Here are some things we learned from all the action ...
The Top Three
Florida State 90, No. 3 North Carolina 57
What we learned: Wow. A true beatdown. Perhaps we don't have an elite team in college basketball this season. North Carolina has as much potential as any team in the country to warrant that title, but Saturday's meltdown -- the most lopsided of the Roy Williams era -- contradicted much of what we thought we knew about the Tar Heels. The Seminoles are always feisty against Carolina and Duke and tend to be giant-killers, but this was just silly. The Noles were 12-for-27 from the 3-point line in this victory. Deividas Dulkys was 8-for-10 from beyond the arc and scored a career-high 32 points. He had scored a combined 32 points in his previous nine games. The Tar Heels lost their fire once the barrage began. The Seminoles saw a vulnerable team and pounced. For the third time this season, the Heels lost a game outside of Chapel Hill. But in this loss, they were bullied and lethargic. How will UNC recover, and what on earth is the ACC about right now?
No. 2 Kentucky 65, Tennessee 62
What we learned: Cuonzo Martin's Volunteers haven't looked like an 8-9 squad over the past week. In their past three games, they've defeated Florida, nearly knocked off Mississippi State on the road and battled Kentucky for all 40 minutes. Freshman Jarnell Stokes, the highly touted prep player who joined the team Monday, recorded nine points and grabbed four rebounds in his debut. Once Stokes gets into shape, he's going to have a major effect on a Tennessee squad that led Kentucky by eight in the second half and stuck with the Wildcats until the end. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (17 points, 12 rebounds) and Anthony Davis (18 points, 4 blocks) are two of America's best, but their squad is going to get caught in league play soon if it continues to show up only after halftime.
No. 1 Syracuse 78, Providence 55
What we learned: This game was over when Ed Cooley announced stud point guard Vincent Council would not play. The Friars' leading scorer might not have affected the final outcome, but he could have helped his squad's deplorable offense (3-for-14 from beyond the arc, 22 turnovers) against Cuse's press. Council was a beast in PC's 31-point destruction of Louisville earlier this week. But Syracuse proved, again, that it's the undisputed No. 1 team in the country. SU has separated itself from one of the most competitive leagues in the country. The Orange's 19-0 start matches the best in school history. With North Carolina losing to Florida State and Kentucky struggling against Tennessee, it's about time that Syracuse gets more credit for its strong start. Best team. In the country. No debate.
The Midwest Upsets
Northwestern 81, No. 7 Michigan State 74
What we learned: Oh, Big Ten. How you always find a way to amaze us. Within the past week, the league's top three teams all have fallen in upsets. At home in Evanston, the Wildcats (losers of four of their previous five entering the game) snapped Michigan State's 15-game winning streak as John Shurna led four double-figure scorers with 22 points. This game meant a few things: (1) There's far less separation between the top and bottom of the Big Ten than there appeared to be two weeks ago. (2) Much like Michigan and Wisconsin, the Spartans are looking for a consistent No. 3. Draymond Green and Keith Appling were the team's only two scorers in double figures. (3) Northwestern needs to prove it can put together a string of games that resemble Saturday's outing. The Wildcats have pieces, but they tend to showcase their potential in spurts. Wonder whether this season will be different.
What we learned: I can't figure out Iowa or the Big Ten right now. The Hawkeyes knocked off their second nationally ranked opponent in two weeks. And in a Big Ten that's as hard to peg as any league in the country right now, the Hawkeyes look like a factor. I didn't say contender. But the Hawkeyes prove the Big Ten doesn't offer any easy victories. No pushovers in this conference (see Minnesota-Indiana, Northwestern-Michigan for further proof). For Michigan, this game just confirmed how much the Wolverines rely on Tim Hardaway Jr. He is 17-for-55 in the team's four losses. The only way the Wolverines -- now 1-3 on the road -- will make a push toward the top of the Big Ten standings is if Hardaway is more consistent.
Oklahoma 82, No. 18 Kansas State 73
What we learned: Frank Martin was enraged after his team lost to an undefeated Baylor squad Tuesday at home. He preached defense in his postgame interviews. That was a major challenge for the Wildcats on Saturday, too. The Big 12's eighth-ranked scoring defense allowed a Sooners team that lost its first three Big 12 games to shoot 55 percent from the field. K-State's performances against Mizzou and Baylor suggested the Wildcats deserve a spot among the Big 12's elite. That's not necessarily the case anymore, with the Wildcats having dropped three of their past four games. Their conference slate gets easier from here over the next few weeks, but the Cats will find themselves in vulnerable spots, especially on the road, if their defensive woes continue. That's now 3-8 in its past 11 Big 12 road games for KSU. After a strong debut, Lon Kruger's squad fell hard (the Sooners had lost four of five entering Saturday's game). But the Kansas State victory should be a major confidence booster for OU. The Sooners snapped a 14-game losing skid against ranked opponents.
The Mountain West Thriller
No. 22 San Diego State 69, No. 12 UNLV 67
What we learned: The Mountain West is going to make noise in March. The league's top two squads, both nationally ranked, battled for 40 minutes in San Diego. This wasn't a basketball game. It was a title fight. I wasn't there, but it felt like a tournament game from my couch. This game had some of the best back-and-forth action I've seen all season. Neither team could pull away. Jamaal Franklin (team-high 24 points) tumbled over a photographer in the final seconds and hurt his ankle. But he returned to the floor moments later and scored the game-winning bucket. Steve Fisher continues to exceed expectations after losing Kawhi Leonard to the NBA draft and three other starters. The Rebels won't beat the top squads in their league or the NCAA tournament if their two leading scorers, Chace Stanback (7 points, 3-of-9 shooting) and Mike Moser (9 points, 3-of-11), struggle in big games. But San Diego State is headed to Las Vegas on Feb. 11 for the rematch. Can't wait to see that. This matchup wasn't just a boost for the two teams on floor; it was a boost for the entire league. The Mountain West is tough. And don't forget about New Mexico, which won its 13th straight with a victory at Wyoming. The Aztecs and Lobos go at it Wednesday night.
Taking Care Of Business
What we learned: The Tigers aren't conventional. They're undersized in a league with a multitude of skilled bigs and they're not very deep. But Frank Haith used seven players in his second consecutive victory since last week's lopsided loss at Kansas State. Ricardo Ratliffe led the Tigers with 21 points (10-of-12). Marcus Denmon, who had six in a win at Iowa State on Wednesday, scored 18 against the Longhorns. Phil Pressey (18 points, 10 assists, 0 turnovers) continued his impressive play. Few teams possess the perimeter depth and skill to challenge Missouri's talented backcourt for 40 minutes. J'Covan Brown scored 34 points for the Horns, matching the combined scoring tally for the team's other four starters. But they couldn't defend a Mizzou team that held a 43-30 edge at halftime and finished with four scorers in double figures. A week ago, folks questioned the Tigers' legitimacy. But they clearly have regained their mojo since the KSU loss and should pose a threat to any top-tier Big 12 team.
No. 20 Mississippi State 56, Alabama 52
What we learned: Alabama entered this game on a five-game winning streak. But Bama won't beat most teams in the SEC by scoring 52 points. JaMychal Green (14 points) was the Crimson Tide's only double-digit scorer. The Bulldogs weren't much better. However, Arnett Moultrie's 25-point, 13-rebound output was the difference. The two teams combined to shoot 4-for-26 from the 3-point line, but Dee Bost was 3-for-3 from long range in the closing minutes and that was that. Man, the SEC is confusing. Kentucky is obviously the league's best, but who are Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5? This was an opportunity for these squads to make a definitive statement about their places in the league. Didn't really happen. I expected more from this one, but hey, Mississippi State will take the win.
Some more observations from Saturday
Baylor looked like a national champ in its 106-65 victory over Oklahoma State. No, the Cowboys aren't an elite team. But the Bears shot 52 percent on 3-pointers (15-of-29) and had almost twice as many rebounds as OSU (48-25). Nine players scored for the Bears. Their depth is underrated, and it's going to be a huge asset in March.
Iowa State blew a 12-point second-half lead and lost its second consecutive matchup against a ranked opponent in its 82-73 defeat at Kansas. But with Royce White (18 points, 17 rebounds), the Cyclones can win nine or more in the Big 12. By the way, a career-high 28 points out of Tyshawn Taylor should quiet a few of his critics.
Connecticut is such a different team when Alex Oriakhi and Andre Drummond are fully engaged. Drummond (10 points, 13 rebounds) and Oriakhi (12 points, 7 rebounds) were impressive in the Huskies' 67-53 win at Notre Dame, ending the Irish's 29-game home win streak. The Huskies didn't have Ryan Boatright, but they played like a complete team with their bigs being so active.
Pittsburgh played better Saturday but still lost at Marquette 62-57. The Panthers, the models of consistency over the past decade, have lost six straight and are 0-5 in the Big East. Holy cow. Let that one sink in.
His team lost once again in a close game at Cincinnati, but it's worth mentioning the effort by Villanova's Maalik Wayns, who had a line of 39 points (6-of-13 from 3), 13 rebounds and six assists, and put his struggling Wildcats in a position to win on the road.
Xavier has won three in a row, after topping St. Bonaventure 77-64. Mark Lyons and Tu Holloway combined to score 33 points in the victory. The Musketeers didn't secure any signature wins during this mini-revival, but that doesn't matter. X needed to get back to winning as it prepares for the Atlantic 10's toughest squads. Until someone in the conference knocks off the Musketeers at the Cintas Center (where they've beaten 42 consecutive A-10 opponents), this team is still the league favorite in my opinion.
Conference USA should be fun this season. Like Xavier, Memphis -- a decisive winner at Houston on Saturday night -- should still be considered the favorite until someone proves they can beat the Tigers on the road. But Marshall and UCF played a classic in a 65-64 Thundering Herd victory, and both could give Memphis trouble. Southern Miss is right in the mix as well.
Meanwhile, in the Mid-American Conference, Akron now has to be considered the favorite after a 68-63 victory over Ohio, which looked so solid in nonconfernece play but has faltered of late. The Zips have wins at Mississippi State and Marshall. If they make the NCAA tournament, look out.
Have to be impressed with the way Oregon swept the Arizona schools. Winning in Tempe is nothing to be overjoyed about, but winning in Tucson -- no matter how mediocre the Wildcats have been for most of the season -- is still special for any Pac-12 school. The Ducks are as good a bet as any to win this crazy league.
You know who won't win the Pac-12? The Ducks' rival, Oregon State. The Beavers have played great at times this season, but the bottom line is 1-5 in a down conference after a horrendous double-digit loss at Arizona State on Saturday.
You know who just might win the Pac-12? Stanford. The Cardinal now are 5-1 in the conference after a 20-point beatdown of Colorado, which began 3-0 (all at home) but got a rude awakening in the Bay Area by Cal and Stanford.
Gonzaga was shaky early Saturday night, but the Zags have to be happy with their 62-58 win at Loyola Marymount, a team that has knocked off UCLA and Saint Louis this season. Mark Few's team was absolutely humiliated at Saint Mary's on Thursday. A bounce-back victory was a must, and the Zags got it done.

Happy Holidays!
As usual, we had our Holiday lunch potluck style at Jenny's house up on the hill. There was a lot of Swedishness on the smorgasbord, but also some Filipino yummies. It was a great lunch that almost turned into dinner. That easily happens when you are around people you love to hang out with.
A lunch with a lot of laughter, we'll carry that with us into the next year.

Quick question, I think I have this working but I am not sure it is right. Should the guns be sharing bullets? I can see the both cursors and they seem to shoot ok but it shares bullets with gun 1.
That's not the case for me, each one is separate. I would check your DemulShooter settings through the program itself and make sure you have each gun assigned to a separate player.
this was my fault used the latest demul and its working correctly now
Is there a way to integrate dolphin into rocketlauncher using demul shooter? There are actually some good gun games, specifically Ghost Squad that would be nice to have.
Launching dolphin via rocketlauncher/hyperspin with the same control setup as above it does not work for two players.
Maybe someone else can confirm if they have it working in RL and how they have it setup.
Yes I have set them up in dolphin first. When demul shooter is running guns work as expected for player 1 and 2
When demulshooter isnt running gun 1 and 2 use the same bullets and aim from gun 1
The module setting for Demulshooter works great for M2 and Demul, but I noticed a bit of a problem. On Sega Model 2 I use bezels, and when turned on, Demulshooter pops up the config window and SM2 within my bezel, but at a small window setting. Game and Demulshooter work fine, just hard to see now. When bezels are off, game goes fullscreen and Demulshooter works as expected. Any thoughts? Thanks!
So here's a visual. Still can't figure it out. I turn on Demulshooter for gunblade via the module, use bezels on my SM2 setup, and this is what I get.

I figured it out. For some reason my Demulshooter wasn't configured to my guns. I guess something got overwritten. All I did was reset the guns in Demulshooter, and loaded it up through RL and it worked. Although I would advise against bezels, they throw off the crosshairs horribly

Nice one, thanks. I was beginning to tear my hair out!
Hello, Please bear with me, as I'm new to setting up RL. I've been searching through posts for weeks trying to get demul shooter working in RL. More specifically for hotd2. I see that you can turn on Demul Shooter in the game module. But I'm not sure where to input the file path for the Demul Shooter.exe. I've been searching through RLs various INI's, but for the life of me can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated

'I am happy ... but need a long, long holiday'
A symbol of defiance against pro-Tibet protests finds the role of a heroine is not easy
For Jin Jing, the roller coaster from serene obscurity to national fame took just a fortnight and has been a mixed blessing.
The 27-year-old wheelchair-bound amputee became the symbol of China's defiance against proTibet-independence protests, after she was forced to shield the Olympic torch amid the chaos of the Paris leg of the relay two weeks ago. The moment was captured on camera, distributed by an amateur photographer and became a rallying point for the country's indignation.
But the former fencer, one of the mainland's 19,400 carefully selected torch-bearers, has found that being anointed a national heroine has its downside.
The already intense attention on her reached new heights yesterday when visiting French Senate president Christian Poncelet extended her an invitation to return to Paris. The invitation on behalf of President Nicolas Sarkozy is an apparent bid by his administration to appease the Chinese public infuriated by the torch fracas, which they viewed as an insult to their national pride.
'I'm happy to receive President Sarkozy's invitation,' Jin said yesterday, carefully choosing her words and refusing to hint whether she would refuse or accept.
'You have to ask the Foreign Ministry for the answer you want.'
A public outcry had greeted her earlier appeal for calm amid the widespread call to boycott French supermarket chain Carrefour. Critics accuse it of supporting Tibet independence - although the company strongly denies it.
Surveys in popular Chinese online communities already suggest overwhelming opposition to her accepting Mr Sarkozy's invitation.
In a well-scripted meeting between Jin and Mr Poncelet at the Shanghai Sports Training Centre for the Disabled yesterday, authorities were keen to head off a real diplomatic crisis.
Jin was 'advised' by foreign ministry staff not to mention the Paris incident in her prepared address to the meeting, according to a family source. Government-backed analysts also urged Jin to accept the invitation and help ease the now tense Sino-French ties.
'I think her trip back there would be instrumental in bridging the gap in trust between the two peoples,' said Feng Zhongping, director of the China Institute for Contemporary International Relations, a Beijing-based think-tank affiliated with the central government. 'I have to say it's something unprecedented in China's history that the resolution of a diplomatic crisis relies so heavily on an ordinary citizen.'
But the task might be too much for an unemployed young woman, whose life until very recently centred on playing World of Warcraft, a popular online video game.
'All I need is a long, long holiday,' Jin said. 'But it's not under my control any more.'
Very little seems within her control. After being axed by the Shanghai wheelchair fencing team late last year, she somehow has found herself back on its payroll.
Jin gave up her previous full-time job as a hotel switchboard operator to meet the demands of training, and now dozens of companies have rung up to tout juicy endorsement deals or offer jobs.
Prying reporters infiltrated her apartment without her knowledge, messing around in her bedroom and grilling her baffled parents about whether she has a boyfriend.
She will have to make stops in three cities in different corners of the country on different commitments in the next couple of weeks, an extension of her non-stop schedule since returning from Europe.
There is no promise of a break until after the greeting of the Olympic flame in Sanya, Hainan, where the torch she defended in Paris makes its first stop on the mainland.
Jin has remained cool and articulate in front of the cameras but, in private, people close to her are concerned about her welfare.
'She is somewhat lost with all these political and business offers,' a friend said. 'She has done a good job so far, but it's obviously not a life she yearns for.'
