Title: Ikaruga
Price: 800 Microsoft Points (US$10)
System(s): Xbox Live Arcade
Release Date: April 9, 2008, 9 am GMT
Developer: Treasure
ESRB Rating: "Everyone"
Pros: Fast-paced classic arcade action and amazing graphics. Single-player and offline two-payer modes rock.
Cons: Reaction time for switching polarity is a little slow and online games tend to stutter.
Overall Score: One thumb up, one sideways; B+; 88/100; **** out of 5
I remember plunking in quarters to play scrolling shooters. Not those sneak-around-with-camo-characters-and-aiming-for-headshots kind of shooters. Ye olde arcade games with a dizzying barrage of opponents, hyped up soundtracks, seemingly impossible odds meant to suck up your supply of quarters as quickly as possible and a steady stream of machine-gun style laser fire.
Oh yeah, those were the good old days.
Of course, in the case of the Japanese arcade shooter Ikaruga, the "good ol' days" were only about seven years ago and it wasn't really in (many) American arcades. Even so, the game has had a few stateside console incarnations with the most recent being to Xbox Live's Arcade.
Shooting Up
Ikaruga is a vertical scrolling shooter, meaning you pilot a ship while the background scrolls down (from top to bottom) the screen. Enemy ships swoop down the screen in speedy formation to either look menacing, become Kamazee style (a la Space Invaders) or hurl a seemingly inescapable wall of gunfire. The twist with this game is that all of the opponents have two polarities, red (aka "black") or white, which you can match or counter with a simple button press to either earn more points or power up a super attack.
With the Xbox Live version of the game, it is presented as full/widescreen although the action still takes place in a tall centered area. You can choose between three difficulty settings, number of lives, one or two players and online or offline cooperative games.
There's a story in the game but, really, who cares – you get to shoot stuff and shoot a lot. Besides, the story elements are presented so quickly with with such tiny text you'd need to be a speed reader and sit a foot from your screen.
Nonstop Japanese Fun Time is Go
This game is a barrage of fun, both in terms of visual effects and gameplay. The action is constant with swarms of opponents and turrets that fire sweeping waves of gunfire to strategically avoid or absorb.
The need to flip between polarities adds a level of strategic complexity to an otherwise straightforward shooter. Flip polarity at the wrong time and instead of absorbing friendly polarity fire you'll be in the midst of evil, nasty deadly blobs of color. There is a short bit of time between polarity flipping when you cannot fire, which also leaves you a bit defenseless. Probably meant to allow a moment to line up the optimum chains of opposite-polarity opponent kills to help maximize points.
The offline two player cooperative mode, which puts both ships on the same screen to fight the same opponents, extends the fun to two, so definitely get your batteries charged for both controllers.
Online, however, and the game is subject to the worst stuttering and server lag I've ever seen in an Xbox Live game. The good news is that the game never disconnected, but instead it jittered like a arthritic old man making a long trek to the mailbox in the winter. quite a shame since that would certainly have launched this already fun game to an amazing new stratosphere of fun.
You can also save your mission and replay it later but, really, it's far more fun to just keep playing this arcade style gamer over and over. Besides the online glitches, the game's only major flaw is that everything is highly patterned. Miss it the first 20 times and you'll surely figure out ho to beat a level boss by the 21st and have likely have enjoyed every attempt.
Ikaruga is prime example of the glory ways of arcade games with seemingly impossible opponents, over-the-top explosions and constant action. If you already have this for GameCube, you probably won't want to bother but for Xbox 360 owners, this is certainly a treat, even at $10.

Thank you, dear Mandy. :-)
Mary, go peek at my offerings under my Wendy_13 alias that I just posted. ;-)
whatnauts, of course they fly. All saucers fly. Haven't you ever thrown a coffee cup saucer?
These are beautiful saucers Wendy. Do they fly???
I would never ask you to create a smaller size for me. Doesn't mean I wouldn't love it, but I know you're busy and I want that hand of yours to stay healthy! Take care and if it appears, you know I'll hop on it. I'm still pondering this one, but it really is too big for me. LOL
These are really special, thanks Wendy. :~)
Pat, the problems are actually getting worse on my end. Now every few minutes Jigidi is down. When it's up, it's nice and speedy, but then BAM, it shuts down...and either is incredibly slow to download anything, or it times out altogether.
Mary, I'm assuming you're asking for this in a smaller size. ;-)
I'll post it again in a few days for you, my dear. :-)
Oh, so pretty but just too big for me. I've learned to stick to 36 and 49 pieces. I may get tempted, though, this one is really special!
Oh, now it finally let me do it! Very lovely, gentle, calm puzzle--thanks, I needed that!
Oh, no--now Jigidi won't let me solve anything! I guess I'm coming down with the same virus/complications as you! Damn!

Every time I go to a Con there's one thing I want to do more than anything else, I really want to experience some role playing games that I've never played before. It's a top priority. Pax is such a large con and so video game oriented that I struggled to find RPG groups ready to roll out an adventure, but I did happen to fjord through an ocean of board games and get to a few good RPGs.
When I did find great tabletop gaming, it was in one place…
The Indie Games Room
In my time between panels and queuing up for other things I tried to hit the Indie Games room as much as possible, if only to just look at the books they had on the table for browsing. Of all the tabletop areas, this was the most inviting room. With someone cheery and eager to help explain the setup and what games will be available and when as soon as I walked in each time, they really did a great job of making me want to play there. It's nice, as a gamer, to get that sort of welcome. Particularly from other gamers, since we have an unfortunate tendency to close ourselves off and stick to our cliques. Game Masters, many of which were designers of their own games and featured on the GMing panel I first went to, were running games on every even numbered hour throughout the weekend, giving two hour demos that told some surprisingly complete stories. I only managed to play two game in this room, but I was very pleased with both.
Mouseguard Boxed Set
Based on the on the comic series of the same name and a variation of the Burning Wheel system, Mouseguard is a role playing game that captures the low-fantasy world of a medieval society of anthropomorphic mice. I've heard a lot of criticism of the system, particularly in regard to the Player phase of the game, which admittedly we didn't test, but I had a great time with the conflict resolution system in it's odd sort of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" way. Our Game Master did a great job of letting us state our goals and then had us narratively justify each action type in how it moves us toward that goal, then we used the game's pretty simple system of opposed dice rolls (where applicable) and he described the action. The end result of this sort of attempt/description interaction allows for some great conflict sequences, whether they be against environmental or combatant challenges, and makes for a very cinematic visualization of the scene. Immediately after the game I discussed it with my friends and girlfriend, each of us expressed a desire to play again, and soon. My only struggle was whether or not to purchase the boxed set, which I did ultimately go ahead and order. The box comes with the original Mouseguard RPG book, a supplement, action cards for players and Game Master, specially marked dice, a map of the lands the Guard Mice protect, and lastly something I find to just sort of be out of place, a few brightly colored, plastic chesspiece style mouse tokens for tracking map movements. The tokens did feature in the first Mouseguard book, Fall 1152, but looked much more naturally colored as if with dull dyes on clay as opposed to what I can only describe as "Fisher Price" style vibrancy in the box. It just jarred with the rest of the character of the game, and I found them a little disappointing. I have some plans to maybe repaint or at least do a wash on the pieces to make them look just a bit grittier.
The other game I was lucky enough to spend a few hours playing gave me an entirely new perspective on role playing. Far more a structured system of improvisation than traditional games, Polaris is designed for four players, each of which takes turns rotating through roles as both their own individual character, bit part NPCs, and antagonist to another player. Each rotation of these responsibilities brings with it a change of scene, which may pick up from mere moments after the previous scene or years later depending on the storytelling. Players have a conversational barter system, bolstered by abilities on their sheet, and conflicts of stats can be brought down to a single die roll. The system supports role play and combat almost entirely via shared by tale-telling and blocking "phrases". I was absolutely amazed with how much story, and the level of depth we explored in our characters, in only two hours of play. Ben Lehman, the game's writer, facilitated the game for the four of us, but it took no time to learn and roll with, and he was mostly there so the group didn't have to read through his rule booklet to know how to play. I picked up a copy and can't wait to gather some of my other Game Master friends to run this. I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I sometimes exclude those folks from games because there tends to be an undertone of tension, that silent power struggle or a "that's not how I'd do it but…" comment that can come from a GM-player, that is to say someone who is accustomed more to being an GM than a player, but this is the perfect game to remedy that problem.
Other Games
I think with a convention the size of Pax and with so much to do at all times sort of hinders the ability to sit down and play a full session. I got in a few other games during the con that averaged about an hour, including the Dungeon Delves run by Wizards of the Coast. I looked in on some short Pathfinder Society games, and got in someone's homebrew airship battle system to be implemented with their 3.5 campaign, but all of these things were more or less demos rather than full sessions with limited to no role play. I even participated in the Wizards of the Coast booth Live-Action Role Playing experience, which consisted of no role play and about 2 dice rolls per person, granted it was more of an attention grabbing gimmick than anything, but I was hoping for something more somehow. With panel lines filling up two hours before hand for some of the major guests, and the huge sprawl of the gaming area, I just don't think Pax is a good home for tabletop role playing necessarily, but that isn't to say I didn't have a great trip as a Role Player between other nerdly interests and even the tabletop oriented panels I wrote about last week.
As a conclusion to my awesome trip (in spite of what it may seem based on that previous paragraph) I've decided to host my gallery o' Pax pictures over on the Game Hermit Facebook page. Pop over, give a "Like", and take a look.

The girl grew up with drug-addicted parents. A family member had sexually abused her. She ran away, but the streets offered little escape.
By the time she was 13, she had been raped, given birth to a son and met the man who would become her pimp. By 16, she had been through an emergency shelter for runaways five times.
The girl needed more help, but Dallas County had little more to offer. Soon, that will change.
Ground will be broken Wednesday for the Letot Girls' Residential Therapy Center, a long-term facility for victims of human trafficking and those at risk of being victimized. It will be the first preventive program for girls in North Texas and the largest of its kind in the nation.
Police estimate about 100 girls are trafficked in Dallas each year. Nationally, the Department of Justice investigated more than 1,000 suspected child sex trafficking cases between 2008 and mid-2010.
Dallas has two long-term treatment centers for boys, but girls traditionally have been sent to other cities for long-term help. At the new center, girls will be able to get therapy with their families and in their own community, said Terry Smith, director of the Dallas County Juvenile Department.
"We're bringing girls back to Dallas County. It's long overdue," she said.
The Letot Girls' Center will have 96 beds and give girls ages 13 to 17 a safe place to stay for up to a year. Alzada Benton, who counseled girls at the Letot Center, the short-term facility that currently serves runaways, said this extra time is crucial.
"Sometimes, it takes me 30 days just to develop trust with that girl — for her to admit to me that she had been sexually exploited and for her to admit to herself what she's been through," Benton said. "We know these girls need long-term treatment to heal."
The facility will be a community where girls can go to charter school and receive psychological services. There will also be vocational programs, such as cosmetology, culinary arts and gardening, Smith said.
Benton worked with the 16-year-old who has been through the Letot Center several times and said the girl is excited by the vocational programs. Like many girls who have been forced into trafficking, she feels trapped in prostitution.
"They don't have any other avenues or ways of working," Benton said. "These vocational skills give them other skills and talents to make money and be productive."
Private donors have contributed $8.9 million to fund the new center, which will cost about $9.4 million. The Dallas Women's Foundation donated $1 million — the largest grant in the foundation's nearly 30-year history, said its president and CEO, Roslyn Dawson Thompson.
Construction on the Letot Girls' Center is expected to be completed in late 2013. Once it is up and running, Dallas County will use the nearly $2 million it spent each year placing girls throughout the state to pay for the facility's staff and operations.
Benton has worked with many girls who could benefit from the long-term facility — girls who have been raped and prostituted, girls with STDs, girls who need time to heal.
Smith hopes the new center will give them the help they need. "If we can give them back their adolescence, if we can give them back their self-esteem, then we have won," she said.

Homemade Windsock
I got this idea from the July 2008 issue of Fly RC Magazine. I tried to email them this story with photos, but every e-mail address I tryed kept getting returned...
So....After months of thinking and planning this project, I asked Owen, a flying buddy at our field, if he could find an old front bicycle tire with a rim and axle. I explained to him my idea and not only did he procure a rim and axle, but he gave me a telescoping pole he no longer had any use for. I had some ripstop cloth material leftover from my homemade parachute (perhaps a story for my next e-mail). My internet research for a windsock pattern left me high and dry, so I took the Sunday paper, fashioned a cone, taped it together, cut the ends to form my windsock and cut it down the middle to form a pattern to cut the material. Funny enough, I had purchased a sewing machine for my wife about 15 years ago...and I have used it more than she has. I sewed together my windsock and made a tunnel on the big end to place a circular wire. I found an old clothes hanger and slid the material through the "tunnel" and attached the ends of the wire with 4 zip ties. I then carefully shaped the wire to form a circle, not a perfect circle, but a circle none the less. I then took the tire and removed the tire and the innertube. I them used my dremel and cut the spokes as close to the rim as possible. I remove all the spokes and chose 4 that were the same length. Accorrding to the instructions from the original article, I placed the spokes 4 hole apart on top and bottom and made a loop in the ends with my vise and hammer. I then ziptied the four spokes to the windsock making sure they were somewhat proportional. I had to use my utility knife to make a slit in the material in order to pass the ziptie through. I found a pvc coupling roughly the same diameter of my newly aquired pole and a pvc cap to fit on the top coupling. I drilled a hole in the cap for the axle to slide into... next time I will get it centered. I place a lockwasher over the bolt and then use the axle nut to tighten the axle to the cap. I used pvc glue to attach the coupling to the cap. I then placed the coupling on the pole and drilled a hole through both the coupler and the pole and placed a screw with a wingnut though both. This last action will make the windsock removable for transport and storage. Today was a windy day so I decided to test my new windsock out with the help of my sons A.J. and Conor. It worked better than I had thought! I finally put it to use...it worked like a charm!
It was alot of fun making it and it really is useful at our field!

Apple patent sheds new light on reversible USB cable
A patent filling revealed today by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office details just how Apple plans to make the USB side on their 'Lightening' chargers reversible. The patent, spotted by AppleInsider, details that the thick plastic layer that normally covers half of the USB inside the plug is being cut down to a thin layer of plastic. The patent also mentions how the thin plastic plug will be slightly bendable, allowing the port to snuggly fit in any USB port in either orientations sans damage.
If the new cable makes its way into iPhone 6 boxes and Apple store shelves, Apple will officially have a created a smartphone charger this is reversible on both ends, as one of the main features of the current Lightening charger is its reversibility on the side that plugs into the iDevice.
If you recall, this is now fourth major leak in just the past few days pertaining to a reversible USB cable by Apple, as earlier this week, Sonny Dickson posted photos to Twitter showing the plug side-by-side the current USB plug. Then we saw a video of the plug in use. Finally, alleged photos of the official packaging of the new charger in a warehouse were posted online.
It's unlikely Apple will quietly update their site with the new chargers, rather, it's expected they'll include them in the new iPhone 6 and iPad boxes, which we expect to see revealed on September 9th.

Visited on 25/05/12 a Friday lunchtime and grabbed the last 2 spaces at the end of the bar. Seating areas were almost full at this point. Great selection from the 30 taps where I enjoyed beers from Alesmith, Port Brewing, Clown Shoes, Iron Fist and a Schneider beer on cask! Bartender was knowledgeable, friendly happy to give samples and our water were always topped up without asking. Mix of local workers and friday lunchtime session beer heads. Food was decent we shared some different flavoured mac'n'cheeses and some wings. A definate second visit beckons on my next trip to PA!

Great selection and price. Loved the led screen for draft list. Waitress was not very friendly
reggiedunlop (182) The dub c, Pennsylvania | January 12, 2009
though this bar is a little open and bright for my taste, the service and food coupled with a top notch beer selecion (great cellar aged options) make this place one of my favorites. prices might be a little on the high side but its hard to complain when the selection is so good.

TJ's is awesome for sure. The bar is a decent size with the current tap lists shown on big "chalk board" TV screens. The menu is a good size with lots of different tasty treats. Most recently I have had the buffalo chicken mac n cheese and a burger and bothwere great. I also tried some of the boneless chicken wings and they were very good as well. While the food was good, the beer list was even better. All different kinds of beer from all over the world. Keep an eye out for their events, the tap lists are even better, if that is even possible. The service was very good as well. They came to check on us every time our drinks got low. Overall a quality spot for sure. I will return for more very soon.

Nice place. Very good service. Very good selection. Good food. Average value.

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon around 4. Obviously, the place wasn't very busy, so we got some really nice service from the waiter. He really knew his stuff and made a few suggestions from the lengthy draft and bottle list. They had dogfish head 120 on tap and I got a free glass because it was the bottom of the keg and not an entirely full glass. Food was pretty good. Nearly everything is cooked with beer! I will definitely be going back soon. Been back many times since my first rating. Beer list is always spectacular and the food is great. Try the Boursin cheese burger!

Nothing special about the atmosphere, and the bar area is quite loaded with cigarette and cigar smoke (Sunday afternoon), but the selection is interesting and plentiful (especially considering the bottle selection) for this area. Didn't have any food this time but plan a return for the Stout day in Feb. (afternoon to hopefully avoid the smoke). 6 ers of Orval for take out @ $24.

Nice place with a decent indoor setup. The strip mall doesn't add a ton to the ambiance but it has proper lighting and a decent setup. Service was friendly and willing. Not a ton of taps but it had some solid brews on. Had pub pretzels, thought they were solid. Main line prices make value a challenge. Some brews were way overpriced.

TJs is my favorite bar in the Philly area. Jeff, Kevin, and Scott keep everyone happy. The draft lift is always diverse and top notch. The food is pretty damn good for casual fair. The prices are right, they sell bottles and growlers to go, and you can take the train from center city out to the bar. All of those things add up.
agl108 (30) Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania | April 6, 2009
Finally checked this place out after monitoring their draft list for months. Surprisingly empty bar area for a Saturday night. Several large plasmas, perfect for watching a game. Nice size draft list and even better bottle list. Food was slightly above average pub fare. Would definitely revisit but with Teresa's and Capone's closer that may be tough to do.

Brooks Laich skated with the Capitals in New York last week, between Games 3 and 4 of his team's first-round NHL playoff series. He wiped out once, which made his teammates — and him — laugh out loud. Afterward, he said he hoped to play in the second round of the playoffs, if the Caps made it. That didn't happen.
Then came the uncomfortable portion of the interview. Laich said reports that he had undergone surgery for a sports hernia were incorrect. He got a little heated, and that heat was directed at beat writers Katie Carrera and Stephen Whyno, among others. He would not confirm or deny he had surgery (which is as good as a confirmation) but wouldn't say anything else.
The beat writers — the ones who follow the Caps most closely, home and road — talked to him after the main interview was over, basically saying, "Hey, if we got it wrong, we want to know; what was wrong?"
Laich would not say. The sources again confirmed the story. And the great mystery continued.
The exchanges left me wondering how much of this is our business — "our" meaning the media and the fans. The job of a beat writer is to ask questions and report the nature of an injury, when possible. The job of the NHL, in part, is to protect the privacy of its players, hence the "upper body" and "lower body" designations. There is a reason for this: No team wants to tell its opponents where its players are more vulnerable. There's a reason no one knew Alex Ovechkin had a broken bone in his left foot until after the fact.
Ticket holders and cable and DirecTV customers have some right to know about injuries. Do you renew your season tickets if you find out Ovechkin or Robert Griffin III or Bryce Harper is going to be out for an entire season? Do you even attend games? Maybe yes, maybe no.
Medical privacy has been taken to ridiculous lengths. Several summers ago when I was visiting my parents, a family friend had a horrible accident and was airlifted to Wichita, Kan. We were told he might lose a leg. We tried to find out what hospital he was in, but no one would tell us. Finally I badgered a nurse into admitting that yes, he was in her hospital. I never asked about his condition, because that wasn't my business and she wasn't allowed to say. But not telling us where he had been taken? That, to me, is medical privacy run amok. (We hurried to see him, and happily they were able to save his leg.)
Laich should have the same protections any of us have. He doesn't have to tell us what his surgery was for or even if he had surgery. But his mistake was implying the reporters were liars, but refusing to say what the lie was. (And of course, they aren't liars; reporters don't make up information like this.) He could have simply refused to comment. Happens all the time.
Instead, he obfuscated the issue with coy answers. And this is one of the go-to guys on the team. That's why his behavior in New York was so surprising. After the season, he admitted to having surgery, but still wouldn't say what kind of surgery. Fine. That's his right. The season's over anyway.
Every player is different: Bryce Harper tweeted a photo of his ingrown toenail (thanks for that!); Laich didn't want to reveal the type of surgery he had. Neither was wrong. But neither are the reporters whose job it is to find out about these things, or the readers who push the reporters to ask these questions.
We just can't assume we're entitled to answers, and athletes can't behave as if we're not entitled to ask.

Prince William's Night Out After Date With Kate
Prince William has been spotted out on the town with a close friend over the weekend just days after his date night with wife Kate Middleton.
Normally sharing quiet nights at home with the Duchess of Cambridge, The Duke surprised the public by enjoying a night out with Guy Pelly at a private member's club in Mayfair on Saturday.
Instead of being joined by his 30-year-old wife, William was flanked by royal protection officers when he left the club in the early hours.
Actress Naomi Watts and her husband Liev Schreiber were also seen at the same club Saturday. The actress has landed a role playing William's mother, Princess Diana, in an upcoming film about the last two years of the famous royal's life.
William's younger brother, Prince Harry, has often joked that his 29-year-old newly wedded brother has become "middle-aged" following his nuptials last year.
Perhaps the Duke of Cambridge is preparing for a long night of celebrations that will surely follow his June 21 birthday. Kate is rumored to be planning a party "fit for a king" for her husband.
Moreover on Thursday of last week, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were spotted out together enjoying a cheap date night at the movie theater. The couple even waited in line for tickets to the movie "The Avengers."
One onlooker spied the royal couple despite their ordinary appearance at the theater, and even snapped a photo of the pair.
Word then spread, and one lucky moviegoer Hessa even sat next to the royal couple.
"OMG watching the Avengers with Kate Middleton and Prince William sitting right next to me," Hessa posted on Twitter during the movie. "SLAP ME NOW I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"
Shortly after, Hessa added, "In case you all wondering which part Prince William liked the most, it was whn (sic) the hulk punched Loki and tossed him around. He laughed hard."

The manual toothbrush may not be so effective in helping an individual remove plaque from the teeth. If one can remove plaque without trouble then switching to an electric toothbrush may not be so helpful.
However, the appearance of different brands of electric toothbrushes is only a pointer to one thing, that the manual toothbrush may not be as effective as it is expected. The electric toothbrush therefore fills the void left by the manual toothbrush. This void can be looked at in form of the advantages of using the electric toothbrush. These may be as follows;
- Have higher rate of plaque removal mechanisms with highly powered oscillatory mechanism and cleaning power. The manual toothbrush which is controlled by the power of the user may not clean as well as the electric toothbrush. In this regard, the electric toothbrush brings better oral health to the user. It is the plaque which usually causes bacterial infections and eventually leads to cavities.
- Appeal-The manner in which most of them are made to look like toys can be one area why they are effective on children. They have an appeal which is nice to the child making him to have more interest at using it. Electric toothbrushes are therefore good companions of young children.
- They are gentle to the gums- because of the user timer and the nature of the brush bristle used in most of them, the electric toothbrush does not injure the gums. The gum is the focal point and determines the stability of the teeth.
- User friendly- the manner in which an electric toothbrush requires no meaningful effort makes it a preferred mode of brushing for even those who are sick, feeble and weak.
- Gives the best flossing experience and as a result ensures that the user ends up with the whitest and appealing teeth.
- Most of the electric toothbrushes come with an option of replaceable head. This is both economical and pocket friendly.
The beneficial nature of an electric toothbrush can only be best seen when one compares an electric toothbrush to the manual one. The distinctions will be as clear as daylight, likely pointing towards the benefits of an electric toothbrush.

This is a guest blog post.
Checking out Mount Rushmore or the Crazy Horse Memorial are good reasons to visit South Dakota. The Badlands National Park is most definitely worth a visit out, too. And, truly, there's nothing remotely resembling the Corn Palace anywhere else in the States, or even the world. But here are the five ultimate best reasons why Canadians should visit South Dakota.
Because the Landscapes Are Incredibly Diversified
Granted, Canada's are too. Mountains, prairies, valleys, deserts… But South Dakota's landscapes have all of this, only within a territory that's about 50 times smaller than Canada's. You can climb up a mountain, then get lost in deep, dark, wild forests; you can wander around the desert-like rock formations of the Badlands, and end your day by swimming in a pristine lake. South Dakota's landscapes are so incredibly diversified for a state of this size, Canadians, known for their love of nature, will just dig it.
Because It's a Great Place for Road Trips
Many Canadians cherish the dream of doing the infamous road trip across the States, from East through the iconic rock formations of the Midwest and all the way to the Pacific Ocean. While that whole trip would take a while, road tripping across South Dakota is shorter, simpler and real satisfying: Amazing "wild-westish" scenery, breathtaking landscapes and one-of-a-kind pit stops along the way, such as the Wall Drug.
Because It's the Geographical Center of the States
When you want to discover a country, what best place to start with than its center? The small city of Belle Fourche, South Dakota, was designated as the geographical center of the United States in 1959 – that's when, of course, you include Hawaii and Alaska. A monument called "Stone Johnnie" has been set up there to honor that fact.
Because It's Packed With Wild West and Gold Rush History
From the historic town of Deadwood – where notorious wild west figures, such as Calamity Jane, Wyatt Earp or Madame Moustache, lived and died – to the unmarked burial site of Jack McCall or the Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota is full of fascinating history.
Because of Its Many Natural Wonders
You think South Dakota and you think "the Badlands". But there are many others natural wonders in that state. The glittering and shimmering Jewel Cave, for instance, is the third longest cave in the world, with over 100 miles of paths and passages within it. There is also the unique Lemmon Petrified Wood Forest, where you'll see petrified wood formations like no other in the world. And last but not least, the Black Hills National Forest is of stunning beauty, and includes Harney Peak, the highest peak in the States east of the Rockies.

Mountain View Lutheran Church is gearing up for a concert to benefit St. Joseph's Home for Boys in Haiti and the Resurrection Dance Theater on April 1.
The Resurrection Dance Theater began in 1985, when Michael Geilenfeld started the St. Joseph's Home for Boys with five youngsters off the streets of Port Au Prince and $1,000.
In hopes of creating a cohesive environment, in addition to giving the boys shelter, Geilenfeld had the boys act out plays and dance together, allowing them to express their feelings and tell their stories through dance. Thus began the Resurrection Dance Theater within the home's walls.
Before the earthquake hit Port Au Prince last year and destroyed the home, it had grown to house 20 boys and included guest lodging, a chapel and an art center.
"Haiti has been hit so hard," said Jennifer Sheldon, music director at Mountain View Lutheran Church.
"They are so beautiful and their faces are so strong, you can't help being touched," Sheldon said of the dance theater.
The concert will be at the church, where ticket proceeds will benefit the music department and where freewill offerings can be collected during the performance.
Those offerings will go toward St. Joseph's effort in rebuilding the destroyed home for boys.
Mike Downey, who is coordinating the church's concert series, said the concert is exciting because it's a little different.
"It's easier to understand their situation when you actually meet the people who live there," Downey said of the dance theater.
Mountain View Lutheran Church is well known for its outreach and missions on campus.
Sheldon, who has been the music director for nearly five years, said they have the same feeling of outreach musically, and the kids she knows are excited by the kind of outreach they can participate in.
The church's last concert of the series featured the African Children's Choir, and was a big success all around.
"It took your breath away, even for them to be able to perform it was so moving," Sheldon said, "I am thinking this (year) will be the same type of experience, if you come, you'll just have to smile."
Downey added that they've had positive response to the concert series.
"(It) generates a lot of anticipation of what the next talent is we'll bring in," he added. "It's a window to their culture."
Tickets for the Resurrection Dance Theater concert are $5 per person or $15 for a family of three or more.
Mountain View Lutheran Church is at 11002 S. 48th St. in Ahwatukee Foothills.
For more information about the concert, call (480) 893-2579. For more information about the St. Joseph's Home for Boys and the Resurrection Dance Theater, visit www.heartswithhaiti.org.

Networking of Greens on the local level
In the cities, we are facing most of the challenges for Green politics: the struggle for a clean environment and against pollution, for social justice and integration, for sustainable traffic models, for local democracy… Being active on this level is very important, because the vast majority of European citizens is living in cities and urban areas. In nearly all European countries, the Green strongholds in elections are the capitals and University cities.
In 1996, the Viennese Greens took the initiative to organize a gathering of European Green local councilors in the Town Hall of Vienna. Since then, large meetings with 200-300 participants followed in Vienna (2003), Barcelona (2006), Stuttgart (2009) and Berlin (2011). After a break of some years, a "Green Cities" conference took place in September 2015 in Helsinki. Since then, smaller meetings focus on topical issues, like the challenges of the refugee crisis for the cities – in June 2016 in Munich – and Green Mobility for healthy cities – in October 2016 in Rome.
Beyond this, several smaller initiatives have been taken to bring together Green local councilors: The so-called "Greens in Big Cities" meetings take place since 2001 and have since then been organized in Berlin (2005), Amsterdam (2006), Vienna (2007), Istanbul (2009), Budapest (2010), Thessaloniki (2012) and again Berlin (2013) – prepared mainly by the Greens in the hosting cities in cooperation with Green Foundations and covering issues like urban culture, traffic, drug policy, urban planning, budgeting, health and environment, anti-corruption stategies, multicultural heritage and inclusion, public participation, etc.
In Vienna, we started to organize "Central European Round Tables for Green Local Councilors" that were held annually since 2005 and so far attended by Greens and green-minded local officeholders initially from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia, but later on also by participants from Bulgaria, Poland, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Albania.
Party building, campaigning on the municipal level, exchange of Best Practices etc. have been topics so far.
Since 2008, we try to get an overview of the numerous Green successes on the local level and on "best practices", together with the European Green Party (EGP) and the Green European Foundation (GEF).
Since my election to the European Parliament in 2014, I'm including this dimension into my work on this level. Some of my ideas and visions can be found in a pamphlet of the GEF (Green European Foundation) called "Class of 2014. New Green Voices in the European Parliament" (pages 45-48).
With kind regards,

Video Of Twilight Actor Peeing In Airport Automatically Qualifies Him For An Oscar
Way back in 2012 we heard rumors that Twilight actor Bronson Pelletier publicly urinated in an airport. And not in the typical toilet way. More like in the drunken mess way. We immediately fell in love with him. There's nothing quite as charming as an actor who refuses to take "Sir, SIR, THIS IS NOT A BATHROOM!" for an answer. If only we could all be so brave when it comes to relieving ourselves, maybe the world would be a better place. Maybe the bathroom lines would be shorter. Maybe, just maybe, someone would film our heroic actions like they did Bronson Pelletier and share them with the world.
That's right, I said film. After weeks of waiting for this footage to emerge, we finally have the video of Bronson Pelletier peeing in an airport. It's even better than you can imagine. Even if you've never heard of Bronson Pelletier, it's better than you can imagine.
Unless you work at a penis manufacturing plant, it's NSFW. So you'll have to click here to actually watch it. But before you do, let me set the scene.
We're at an airport. People are milling about. A man yells at an airline employee who won't move him to an aisle seat. A strange version of "Call Me Maybe" plays in the background. A drunk man gets escorted through the airport by a security guard. All of a sudden the drunk man stops. Stumbles. Then like a Cirque Du Soleil performer auditioning for a Fifty Shades of Grey parody film, he whips out his penis and just starts peeing. In the middle of a terminal. FOR A LONG TIME.
Even more unbelievably the security guard doesn't even try to stop him. Instead he puts his hand on his shoulder in an almost paternal gesture and just stands there while this all goes down. In a way, I think he's proud. It's not every security guard that gets to touch a D-list actor while he's peeing in an airport. And it's not every Twilight actor who can get so inebrriated at the airport that the thinks this is anywhere near socially acceptable.
Then the police arrive. Then this video gets released on TMZ and then Bronson Pelletier releases a statement that he's going to get help. And then I google "home remedies to help actor who confuses airport carpeting for urinal."
Happy 2013! I can already tell it will be a great year for poor actors making even poorer decisions!

Todd Grantham and Georgia had two weeks to prepare for Georgia Tech's triple-option offense.
The Bulldogs' defensive coordinator won't mind waiting another 52 weeks to see the Yellow Jackets again after his defense was on the field for 92 plays in a 42-34 win Saturday night.
"I'm glad we can go back and now play against a normal offense, just because you don't ever see that offense," Grantham said. "It really kind of stunts your development in the 3-4 because you really have to change how you play everything. By going to a bowl game, it's going to give us extra practice to get back to doing the things that we're going to see for the next 11, 12, 13 games next year. I'm excited about that."
The Yellow Jackets rolled up 512 yards of total offense - the most the Bulldogs have given up in a game since a 24-10 loss to Florida in 2001, when the Gators totaled 584 yards and quarterback Rex Grossman passed for 407.
Georgia Tech's 411 rushing yards were the most the Bulldogs have yielded since Vanderbilt's 415 on Oct. 15, 1994, and the third most a Bulldogs' team has ever surrendered.
"The offensive line did a good job blocking," Georgia Tech A-back Roddy Jones said. "They gave us holes to run through and had control of the line of scrimmage."
With one game left to play - expected to be the Liberty Bowl against either Central Florida or Southern Methodist - Georgia ranks seventh in the Southeastern Conference and 59th in the nation in rushing defense at 149.2 yards per game. That's 23 yards per game more than the Bulldogs allowed last season when they ranked 36th in the nation and third in the SEC against the run.
That slide came after Georgia lost defensive tackles Geno Atkins, Jeff Owens and Kade Weston to the NFL and the Bulldogs' switched to Grantham's new 3-4 scheme.
After Georgia Tech ran 92 offensive plays Saturday, Georgia players had the three highest tackle outputs this week in the SEC. Defensive end Abry Jones, linebacker Akeem Dent and nose DeAngelo Tyson all had 16 .
Jones was named SEC Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week Monday along with Auburn's Nick Fairley. Jones also had two tackles for loss and a forced fumble.
"We didn't do a lot of subbing in this game," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "A lot of guys had to suck it up and play until the end."
Georgia Tech ran the ball 77 times - the second most in the Football Bowl Subdivision this season behind Air Force's 80 for 373 yards in a 48-23 win Nov. 13 against New Mexico.
"Really, the only teams that run it are the military schools," Grantham said of Tech's style of option. "Air Force, Army and Navy. Really, it's a wishbone. They do a nice job running the wishbone package."
Fullback Anthony Allen rushed for 166 yards on 29 carries, quarterback Tevin Washington had 73 on 23 carries and Jones accounted for 63 yards on nine.
"If we don't put the ball on the ground, I don't know if they ever stop us," said Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson, whose team lost three fumbles.
"We didn't stop the dive as well as I hoped we could," Richt said. "If you don't stop them up the gut, it's hard to stop them period. But we rose to the occasion. We turned some turnovers into points. In the end, it worked out."
The 92 plays run by Georgia Tech were its most since it had 94 on Nov. 9, 2000 against Virginia and tied for the most against Georgia in Richt's 10 seasons.
Georgia is 2-0 under Richt when opponents run 90 plays or more. Texas A&M ran 92 in the Independence Bowl last year in a 44-20 Georgia win.

The comedian and 30 Rock star on why, in America, you're allowed to be as slutty as you want to be.
What's the best reason to have sex with Judah Friedlander?
If you want to change your life and make it even greater, and if you care about the world and America, then that's why you should have sex with me. It'll be good for you, and it'll be good for your country. Even if you're not American, it'll be good for your country. As the World Champion, I'm a giver. But I would give this warning to women: if you have sex with me, and you're already in a relationship that you've been treasuring, this might ruin that. You might not recover from this. You might have to cancel work for the next three months because you'll be so physically exhausted from the experience. You might have suicidal thoughts when you realize that you might not ever experience this kind of ecstasy ever again. So, you should come in physically and mentally prepared. People have sex with me, and their lives are instantly turned around.
My boyfriend tries to video chat with me at work and gets annoyed when I ignore him. I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm just busy. How can tell him that without offending him?
Your boyfriend's gotta pace himself. Your boyfriend's gotta figure that shit out. He's an adult now. And, if this guy would just read my book, he would learn a little bit about invisibility and how to make himself invisible. Then he could actually be with you at work, and look at you, his girlfriend, all he wants.
I'm a guy, and I've been bringing home a lot of different girls lately. How often should I wash the sheets between one-night stands?
I think most people would prefer clean sheets, but you never know. Some girls might be into dirty sheets. Still, I don't think there's anyone who doesn't like a nice, clean sheet. But that's one of the downsides to having a lot of one-night stands — non-stop laundry. I mean, how much can you do, really? But maybe that's how it works. Maybe he'll get more chicks if he's constantly at the laundromat, washing sheets. Nearby chicks might get the message and get horny. He could double the numbers of chicks he gets if he starts taking those sheets to the laundromat.
My girlfriend just dumped me and moved out of the apartment. That's fine, but now the bookshelves are empty and the walls are bare. Got any quick interior design tips to help ensure that my visitors don't think I'm boring?
It sounds like Nerve.com has got a lot of slutty readers. But that's their right. This is America, where you're allowed to be as slutty as you want. Anyway, to answer the question, a good way to get start is putting a copy of my book in your apartment. I would say have my book there, and no other book. It does feature a nude centerfold of me, though. Do not cut out the centerfold of me and put it on your wall; whether you are straight or gay, your partners will too be obsessed with my photo, and they will ignore you. So I'd say have the book in the room — that shows respect — but I wouldn't put up the nude photo of me. If you did, you'd never get laid again.
My girlfriend's family is really conservative, but I'm super-liberal. I'm about to meet them for the first time. How can I make sure everything goes smoothly?
You know, I've been doing stand-up comedy for twenty-one years now. I perform for everybody: foreign people, white people, black people, gay people, upstanding citizens, convicted criminals – you name them, and I've performed for them. Sometimes you just gotta realize that these are people. There are a lot of other things going on in the world besides your political viewpoints.
My boyfriend loves giving me oral sex, but it makes me really self-conscious. Do you have any relaxing tips I could use for the next time he goes down on me?
You should definitely just think about me.
My girlfriend tells me that watching online porn is cheating, so I pretended to stop looking. I hate having to lie, but I don't want to stop. How can I make her stop taking online porn so seriously?
That's very simple. You just gotta watch porno DVDs. It's not cheating! Case closed. Man, I might actually have to reopen a porno movie theater, like they used to have in Times Square. We'll go in there and be like, "Look, ladies, we are not cheating. We are enjoying a theatrical motion picture together." I would name the theater "We Are Not Cheating Cinema."
You're fond of reminding people that you're the World Champion of the World. How does this affect your relationships with other people, since they're all technically inferior to you?
Yes, I am the World Champion, the greatest athlete in the world, and a master of the martial arts. I hook up with a low estimate of one hundred and twenty women a day, and I'm a role model for children — in fact, my only weaknesses are math and reading. But the thing is my greatness surpasses superiority. Like, no matter how better I am than another person, I still inspire that person. Even if I'm beating up a guy – even if I'm killing a guy in a death match – as I'm kicking and punching him, he is still inspired by how great I am. And so he doesn't feel that bad.

Chinese Coin top made earlier in my quilting days! I think most of these are vintage fabrics I collected along the way.
Grocery bag made from a tea towel from a pattern someone posted. Very easy and fun.
Tote bag. I used a "real" pattern, the tissue paper kind! Can you tell I don't sew?!!

Liverpool Football Club's former managing director Christian Purslow has left his role as a special adviser and non-executive director at the Premier League soccer club.
Having redefined his position within the club in October 2010, standing down as Liverpool's managing director after successfully overseeing the sale of Liverpool FC to New England Sports Ventures (NESV), Purslow's latest move ends all affiliation with the club.
Announcing his exit via a statement on Liverpool's official website, Purslow said, "I have been happy to be available to provide support for the new owners during the transitional period since the sale but now Liverpool FC is in excellent shape for the future, and in safe hands, it is time for me to concentrate fully on other business interests. I look forward with pride and excitement to watching Liverpool FC compete at the highest levels once again."
Liverpool Football Club chairman, Tom Werner, added, "We will always be grateful to Christian for his vital contribution to the Club during his time as managing director and latterly as special advisor. He has played a fundamental role in securing the future of the club and in the sale of LFC to new ownership."

Acer Aspire 6290 Audio Problems
It seems as though the sound on my Acer Aspire 6290 is not working.
I've been encountering the same problem in ubuntu 9.04. Windows 7 registers an unknown device. Unfortunately, I don't remember the specifications on the sound card, but here's what windows says about the unkown device:
problem code: 0000001C
Physical Device Object Name: \Device\USBPDO-7
Location: Port_#0002.Hub_#0002
I don't know if any of this is useful. I just want my sound working. Any ideas for what I can do to make it work? What should I do?

Now there's the odd thing. It shows the same thing it showed in Vista. It shows that I have the Realtek High Definition Audio Device, but it's still not working.
|My System Specs

I would suggest you install the intel chipset drivers for your model and if necessary the latest realtek drivers.

I can't seem to figure out how to do that. I've gone to acer's website, but the Vista x64 driver I downloaded for the chipset shows up as a zip file.
Edit: nevermind, I found the setup.exe. Gosh this is frustrating. I'm going to try that.

Thanks in advance, to all you wonderful people, for your expertise!
I have a bunch of the Warm and Natural. And, I like it very much. I find it lays flat really really well. But, when it is gone, I'm am going to buy the Hobbs 80/20. I find it "crinkles" nice when you wash it. So, it really is about how you want your quilts to lay. I am certain there are other threads (conversation topics) here on the board that have a lot of info also.
Warm and Natural is 100% cotton, lays flat, and drapes really well. After washing it gives it that nice old time crinkled look. Hobbs 80/20 is 80% cotton and 20% poly. It has a nice very, very, low loft (compared to 100% poly). It quilts nicely. It is the one I use most of the time when quilting at work and what most customers want. I have not found an 80/20 in white, so when a customer has a quilt in white, I suggest the Warm and White. It will keep the white part from looking dingy.
