I like baking. I like the soft, dusty whiteness of flour and the creamy solidity of chilled butter. I love the way these two basic building blocks combine to create something as sophisticated as pastry. Pastry is a thing of wonder — it's somehow sturdy enough to be rolled and cut and filled and folded, yet light and flaky and crumblingly delicious once baked.

Wacky Wheels roll into Yazoo
Herald Reporter
It might not be as hard as rocket science, but engineering your own fully-functional robot isn't something most kids can do.
However, for everyone who attended the Wacky Wheels Robotics Club, that is exactly what they did.
On Friday afternoon, staff from the computer technology department of Mississippi State University and participants of the 4-H program hosted the Hot Bots tech summer camp at Ricks Memorial Library Annex . The Hot Bots camp was given to Yazoo County as a reward for the club's outstanding participation in monthly pre-competition activities. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------

The song 'I Don't Want a Lover' incredibly went to Number 1 twice on the UK charts. The feat was even greater due to the fact that there was a 10 year span between the first and the second ride to the number 1 spot and they had not changed a thing! It was not a remix. This was actually a UK record
I highly recommend this album to anyone who loves strong female vocals. I find myself listening to the album all the time.
If you've never heard Texas before then consider this album you're new education in the ways of genius. If by So in Love With You you haven't been wondering why you've never heard of them before then you're either A: American or B: Stupid. There's no doubt that the album has been made to help them crack America (they've admitted as much) but who's complaining. This is Texas gold. It's them removed of the slack that occasionally gets into any album, no matter the artist. And Texas without slack is truly a thing to behold.
I can't begin to describe the majesty on display here. The Motown cool of Black Eyed Boy. The chilling beauty of Put Your Arms Around Me. The bluesy rock of I Don't Need A Lover. The sheer driving power of Halo. The quiet longing of Say What You Want. STOP!!! Stop before you recite the track listing! Calm down! Breathe. That's better. I was saying...show me a bad track. Point it out to me. Tell me where Sharleen's voice falters. Where Ally's guitar work is wrong. Where the lyrics are banal pap. You can't, can you. That's because they don't. These are classic tracks most would sell their mothers for.
And then there's the new material. Wow. If this is an indication of where the new album is going I'd like to pre-order it now thank you very much.
Read more ›So as 2000 drew to a close Texas decided to release "The Greatest Hits," an essential collection of their finest work from the last 11 years. The album was marketed as essential indeed, and the British public seemed to agree; The Greatest Hits became a multi-million selling No.1 smash hit collection over the Christmas period in 2000 in the UK, even managing to knock the Beatles' "1" from the top spot! What this collection provides (apart from some of the best mature pop songs from the past fifteen years) is proof undeniable the power of Texas and their staying power - believe me when I say they'll be around for years to come.
"I Don't Want A Lover," the band's first ever single starts off the collection in fine form. The country-tinged rock anthem was a Top 10 hit for the band back in 1989 and was their first and last for 8 years! "In Demand" was a new song recorded especially for this album, and the result is one of Texas' most popular songs to date. The song is a mid-tempo classic with a real sing-a-long chorus. "Say What You Want" is perhaps the most popular Texas song to date, and it's not hard to see why.

User Comments: Thank You! Ive learned a lot!
User Comments: Was a bit slow in presentation, but great information and a great introduction to IFT.

User Comments: Great Information
User Comments: In terms of the material, I would rate this as a 5 star and would recommend it to anyone. The issue I had was with the module loading. The video would freeze about every 5 seconds and even if I paused it to see if it would load, it would freeze again within a minute of watching it. Again, I think the material in the video was very good...but it was impossible to watch the entire feed.

User Comments: Wonderfully designed. easy for any one to get a clear picture about ACE IFT.
User Comments: Great webinar for someone new to training and fitness.
User Comments: Kudos! This presentation puts forth a clear yet concise overview of the heart of the ACE program. For concept-learners, I cannot praise it enough. Well done without being glitzy. Thank you. Sincerely, Patmarie
User Comments: Excellent course, all the material are perfect, ace education is the #1
User Comments: good review!
User Comments: Overall I really liked the course. It was very informative. I especially liked the video that came with the course. I also liked the demo of the stationary biker showing the "talk test" in action at VT1 and VT2. I have just completed an ACE course and exam, so, I am familiar with the 4th Edition Personal Trainers Manuals. The references to the PT manuals for postural analysis, stability and mobility training I understood, but, others might not. Overall, I'm glad I took this course before I took the ACE PT exam, it really helped by giving me an overview of the ACE IFT Model and seeing the talk test in action.
User Comments: A very thorough and approachable lesson, but the quiz at the end should be more in-depth and challenging
User Comments: The program does a good job of how to lay out a logical sequence of exercise design, especially for those just starting out
User Comments: informative info about cardio.
User Comments: This course is really helping me for understanding more about fitness training design.
User Comments: I reviewed this before taking my test. It was good review of the IFT model with information on practical application of the model.
User Comments: the course was FABULOUS and does help to drive home the key points in the manual. My only issue is that during the video clips where the speaker was speaking/demonstrating - it kept stopping every couple of minutes to buffer. This is my only complaint. It may just be an issue with my laptop, not sure. Thank you for a great course.
User Comments: Applicable to my personal training routines.
User Comments: Clear, to the point and memorable.
User Comments: Excellent course, informative and well laid out
User Comments: Very good!
User Comments: This was a high level overview of the IFT model. The course can be more effective if it was more in depth with more specific client examples. Possibly a two hour course. Thank-you.
User Comments: A simple foundational course. Trainers needing some direction in how to gain rapport with clients may find this helpful. Most independent trainers who have already established these skills will desire something more in-depth.
User Comments: Very useful and practical for all kinds of sports exercises.
User Comments: the sound is horrible.
User Comments:
User Comments: good overview
PROS: Informative Focused in developing great relationships with clients Good Material Well informed presenters Review quiz answers Print Quiz Answers CONS: Most presenters did not sound enthused.-Made it hard to learn. One presenter was coughing and gasping the entire recording. Tests at the end of 3-7 hour videos.-Studies show people do not retain/memorize information after 3-7 hour intervals. The final video had horrible audio-it feels almost painful to listen to. Slides move by presenters/video format-hard to go back to one particular slide. Quiz score review option did not always work. +++Wish the quizzes were broken up between every hour at least and maybe a final at the end of the module. That almost would have negated all the cons. Honestly the cons made it really hard to learn-and it felt quite frustrating at times. FROM ACE: Thank you for your comments. I believe they are mostly directed at the Exam Review Course (modules) that we provide in the Premier Kit you purchased. Due to customer feedback we are currently reviewing this course and hope to have it revised by end of this year. If you have further issues or comments please contact us at 800-825-3636 ext 782.
User Comments: Great progression of ideas!
User Comments: yes!
very good
User Comments: I thought question #9 on this quiz was confusing.
User Comments: A great review. Really puts the ACE IFT(TM) Model into prospective.
User Comments: certainly good for starters like me.
User Comments: Interesting presentation.
User Comments: Thank you for the free course.
User Comments: easy to understand and follow
User Comments: Very Informative hard and will help in the long run.
User Comments: EXCELLENT PROGRAM .. THANKS TO FABIO. FROM: VIKRANT PAREKAR(INDIA)
User Comments: Good testing tool
User Comments: The course had some good information and clearly defined the principles behind the IFT model but it was presented in a very dry manner that seemed to drag on endlessly. Overall, I am glad to have taken the course and definitely took something away from it. I do recommend it, but have some coffee first.
User Comments: I will def. recommend this as a preparation to study for the ACE exam! In fact I already did recommend it, right after I finished it. I have numerous classmates who will be taking the exam along with me and after me, and I want them to have these helpers. I only wish I had taken advantage of these sooner! If you are studying for the exam be SURE to watch the DVD's that came with the ACE manual and Exercise Science Book and take this test! You can take these practice tests over and over as many times as you need which is a great help! Rhonda in Phoenix<3
User Comments: Could not locate the course content; took the quiz based on my own current knowledge and some review of the ACE IFT model.
User Comments: This course is very informative and interesting. I would like to review more material in and related to this course to farth advance my fitness and training skills.
User Comments: Excellent way to get CEC's. Thank you Tony, Extention 791, who called me with this suggestion, as one of my classes didn't qualify without Petition and this saved me $25, and was really informative. It confirmed the way that my training programs have changed in to.
User Comments: Ever so slightly dry in its delivery; however, quite informative and enlightening. There were parts of the slide which were marred by some 'digitized' pattern that covered a portion of each slide and made it impossible to see pieces of information.
User Comments: It would be great to get some feedback to know what was missed so we could learn from it.
User Comments: It's nice to see that ACE is moving in the direction of balancing the science of fitness with the behavioral and emotional needs of the client, as this Integrated Fitness Training approach paves the way for others to follow. The IFT model also moves away from the tendency to focus too much on strength and power and takes acloser look at stability and movement training. In effect it will create an entry point for trainers to develop more personalize programs for their clients and also explores the way fitness clubs sells personal trainer services. The course is well presented and is informative.
User Comments: Very informative and easy to understand.
User Comments: I agree with other reviewers that it would have been very helpful to know which questions I missed on the exam. This overview was thorough enough to introduce the new model, but not thorough enough for a complete understanding. Even with six years' experience training, I think I will need to buy the new manual and study it more closely in order to put the new principles into practice.
User Comments: Would have been great to suggest what assessment to use to identify the VT2 metabolic marker.
User Comments: Difficult to navigate forward and backward, poor sound quality but good material
User Comments: I wish I could see what answers were incorrect
User Comments: informative topic!!!
User Comments: Excellent summary of IFT with a logical, safe approach to exercise programming for clients.
User Comments: I love that you are offering this training to those of us that are certified and that it was a free course. It allows us all the chance to see the progression of the personal training field and to adopt the new models so that we stay on top of our game! The presentation was a little dry, but informative none the less.
User Comments: It would be good to see an answer sheet, so I can see the correct answers to the questions that I missed.
User Comments: Starts off slow but ends up offering a really good synopsis of the IFT program. Clear, legible, easy to understand format although some of the slides were cut off in my presentation. Fully worth the time either as in intro, or, how I used it, as a pre-exam review.
User Comments: I learned valuable progressions I can use with my clients. This creates a paradigm shift for me since I was trained in the traditional exercise model.
User Comments: Nice new model to follow.
User Comments: One or more re-cap pages with major points presented in a grid format would be useful.
User Comments: Great introduction to the IFT Model. Concise and well-presented.
User Comments: Conceptually this is a great method for helping clients begin a program at an appropriate level and work toward individualized goals. It should also help clubs to sell more sessions, as bundling services with a specific goal or achievement in mind for the client makes sense. I was, however, frustrated with the organization of this material. Slides inconsistently communicated information. The course seemed rushed, and it might better serve the material to separate the components into individual units.
User Comments: Great for testing your online test skills.
User Comments: Wish it told you the answers to the ones you got wrong.
User Comments: To stay competitive as a trainer, one needs to be up to date with what is happening in the industry. This is a great overview of the new direction training is headed in.
User Comments: This is a good overview of the rationale behind the development of the ACE IFT model. While I was already certified with the 3rd edition manual, I recently picked up the 4th edition manual(s) and so far have been very impressed with the new materials. I would recommend all previously certified ACE professionals like myself to watch this webinar and also pick up the new books (4th Edition Manual/Essentials of Exercise Science) which come with 2 excellent accompanying dvds. I believe that the IFT Model has put ACE on the cutting edge of the fitness industry!
User Comments: This model is very up to date. I have already had training that agrees with this model. It makes me secure in the curriculum my club has offered through Reebok University.
User Comments: Amazing course! Very important to interested profissionals. I recommend this! Ale

Legislation has been proposed in Georgia
that would require anyone riding a bicycle on a public roadway in Georgia
to register that mode of transportation, just like a motor vehicle. And a
public hearing will be held Monday (Oct. 7) in Hall County on the issue.
The legislation also would mandate that cyclists
ride in single file on public roadways -- and restricts the number that can
ride single file.
House Bill 689, which is sponsored by three Hall
County legislators, would "provide for the acquisition
of a license plate prior to the operation of a bicycle on streets with motor vehicle traffic,"
among other things.
Of course, bicycling advocates are concerned. "There's a lot of interest in this, making sure it's not going
anywhere," Brent Buice, executive director of Georgia Bikes, an advocacy group, said.
When Rep. Lee Hawkins, one of the
sponsors, was asked about his reason for sponsoring this bill he
replied, "As a delegation, we have had numerous complaints
from motorist who are concerned about these safety issues. Some of the
complaints had become very heated. I was asked to sign on to this
legislation as a response to the concerns of these constituents. It would
be irresponsible to ignore this issue until we are forced to do so by resulting
The bill would apply to the high-priced cycles
ridden by cycling groups, as well as a starter
bike with training wheels.
The public hearing will be Monday at the
Hall County Government Center, 2875 Browns Bridge Road, Gainesville, 30504, 6-8
The 2014 session of the Georgia General Assembly
begins in January.
-- What do you think?
Should cyclists be required to register their vehicles in Georgia? Tell us in

1904–1905 Welsh Revival
This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2011) |
The Welsh Revival (1904–1905) was the largest Christian revival in Wales during the 20th century. While by no means the best known of revivals, it was one of the most dramatic in terms of its effect on the population, and it had repercussions that reached far beyond the Welsh border, triggering a series of revivals in other countries. "The movement kept the churches of Wales filled for many years to come, seats being placed in the aisles in Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Swansea for twenty years or so, for example. Meanwhile, the Awakening swept the rest of Britain, Scandinavia, parts of Europe, North America, the mission fields of India and the Orient, Africa and Latin America."[1]
Before the 1904–1905 revival the last revival that Wales saw was in 1859, but prior to that change was already afoot. From 1850 onwards the Christianity of Wales was markedly less Calvinistic in form. A generation of powerful biblical preachers ended, as leaders such as Christmas Evans (1838), John Elias (1841) and Henry Rees (1869) died.
Between 1859 and 1904, there were local revivals: in Cwmafan (1866), Rhondda (1879), Carmarthen and Blaenau Ffestiniog (1887), Dowlais (1890) and Pontnewydd (1892).
Revival begins[edit]
There is no clear origin for the movement but several locations can be viewed as major components of the revival.
New Quay and Blaenannerch[edit]
A prominent leader of the Revival was the Methodist preacher of New Quay, Joseph Jenkins, who, in 1903, arranged a conference in New Quay under the theme "to deepen our loyalty to Christ". After a meeting in February 1904, the regular Sunday meetings as well as the newly founded mid-week meetings became lively and Joseph Jenkins' Church went to other surrounding towns and villages to witness.
In September a conference was held in Blaenannerch. It was reported that 'massive blessing' was upon this conference and the news quickly spread throughout the area and beyond. The South Wales Daily News picked up on the events and reported that "the third great revival was afoot through the nation!"—the other two revivals being the Welsh Methodist revival and the 1859 Methodist Revival.

At the beginning of November 1904 Jenkins was invited as guest preacher at meetings in Bethany Ammanford, the Church of Nantlais Williams. When it was arranged that Joseph Jenkins was to be guest preacher there was no news of the conversions in New Quay and Blaenannerch, but an extra meeting was hastily arranged on the Sunday afternoon so that Joseph Jenkins could tell about the events in New Quay and Blaenannerch. Williams is recorded to have said that he was worried that there would be no interest in such a meeting and he was sceptical what the turn out would be; when he himself arrived he could only just squeeze into the Chapel to hear Jenkins.
It had been arranged before New Quay and Blaenannerch that Jenkins was to preach on the Monday night before his return to New Quay. The Church was again full with people professing their faith in Jesus; but perhaps the most dramatic turn was when one of the crowd announced Another meeting like this will be held here tomorrow night…, and so that meeting again was well attended and went on until the early hours of the morning. Despite already having been ordained as a Minister it is worth noting that upon that weekend in November 1904 Williams had a conversion experience, on the Saturday night prior to Jenkins' arrival.
North Wales[edit]
In December 1904 Joseph Jenkins embarked upon a three-month period preaching and professing in areas of North Wales. Many meetings were held in Amlwch, Llangefni, Llanerchymedd, Talysarn, Llanllyfni, Llanrwst, Denbigh, Dinorwig, and conversions occurred amongst students in the University of Wales Bangor. But perhaps the largest conversions were seen in Bethesda, where another leader of the revival J. T. Job described the meeting held in Jerusalem Bethesda on 22 December 1904 as "a hurricane".
Evan Roberts and Loughor[edit]
Evan Roberts was a young man influenced by the stories and experiences that were happening over in New Quay and Blaenannerch. He decided to leave for ministerial training in Newcastle Emlyn and arrived in the Revival in south Ceredigion. The news of the mass conversions in New Quay and Blaenannerch had already spread to Newcastle Emlyn and served as a distraction for a man who had been sent there to study. Seth Joshua, another prominent leader of the Revival came to the area to hold meetings, which Roberts attended eagerly.
After his three months training at Newcastle Emlyn he was to return to Loughor to start his ministry. He claimed to have direct visions from the Holy Spirit; very specific visions such as the number 100,000 representing the souls God intended to use him to save. As the revival unfolded Roberts is said to have depended increasingly upon what he considered the guiding of the Holy Spirit.
Response to Roberts' ministry was initially slow but soon the crowds turned out and the meetings were carried on until the early hours of the morning. After the meeting at Loughor, Roberts assembled a team and went on a tour of the South Wales valleys to spread the revival.
Roberts did not take well the decline of the revival, and the frustration of great expectations of a world wide revival that had arisen in his team, and afterwards fell into depression. He was housed then by a friend and co-authored a book with his friend's wife Jessie Penn-Lewis, War on the Saints, (believed by some to be heretical because of its use of the term "possession" to describe demonic spirit's potential effect on believers) from which he dissociated himself after he recovered from depression and the book was severely criticised.
Role of newspapers[edit]
A feature of this revival that was not seen in any other revival prior to 1904 was the role of the media. The Western Mail and the South Wales Daily News, Wales' daily newspapers spread news of conversions and generated an air of excitement about the Revival that helped to fuel it further. The Western Mail in particular gave extensive coverage to Roberts' meetings in Loughor. The Western Mail articles were reprinted in book form in 2004 by Quinta Press.
The Welsh revival was not an isolated religious movement but very much a part of Britain's modernisation. The revival began in late 1904 under the leadership of Evan Roberts (1878–1951), a 26-year-old former collier and minister-in-training. The revival lasted less than a year, but in that period 100,000 converts were made. Begun as an effort to kindle non-denominational, non-sectarian spirituality, the Welsh revival of 1904-05 coincided with the rise of the labour movement, socialism, and a general disaffection with religion among the working class and youths. Placed in context, the short-lived revival appears as both a climax for Nonconformism and a flashpoint of change in Welsh religious life. The movement spread to Scotland and England, with estimates that a million people were converted in Britain. Missionaries subsequently carried the movement abroad; it was especially influential on the Pentecostal movement emerging in California.[2]
Unlike earlier religious revivals that pivoted on powerful preaching, the revival of 1904-05 relied primarily on music and on paranormal phenomena as exemplified by the visions of Evan Roberts. The intellectual emphasis of the earlier revivals had left a dearth of religious imagery that the visions supplied. They also challenged the denial of the spiritual and miraculous element of Scripture by opponents of the revival, who held liberal and critical theological positions. The structure and content of the visions not only repeated those of Scripture and earlier Christian mystical tradition but also illuminated the personal and social tensions that the revival addressed by juxtaposing Biblical images with scenes familiar to contemporary Welsh believers.[3]
In 2004, the BBC's Bread of Heaven series featured a programme on the 1904 Welsh Revival, which was presented by Huw Edwards.
In 2005 a musical was made about the 1904–1905 Welsh Revival.[4] The music and lyrics are written by Mal Pope and the book is by Frank Vickery. Its first tour began at the Grand Theatre, Swansea, Wales and was directed by Michael Bogdanov with the Wales Theatre Company and included an appearance from Peter Karrie.

Owing to the incredibly lengthy development cycles of modern-day videogames, hot new trends in the gaming world are difficult to ignore and dispel. After the initial demonstration of a new technology, feature or design philosophy, it could literally take years for any new direction to come to fruition before going on to succeed or fail.
We saw a few new (and fairly new) videogame trends bubble to the top of gamers' collective conscious over the course of E3 2013 and we fully expect these developments to continue to gain ground during gamescom 2013 this month, with one or two new directions due to take shape at the show, too.
The rising importance of independent developers in the coming console war
Sony showed just how important independently developed games are to the future of the PlayStation 4 at E3 this year, which earned the company a lot of cred both with independent game developers and gamers looking for something different to play alongside big blockbuster titles.
Microsoft has since scrambled to lure indie developers to Xbox One by announcing the option to publish games on Xbox LIVE without the need of a publisher, as well as the ability to use a regular Xbox One console as a development kit (which would normally cost thousands of dollars).
Make no mistake: Independent games, and the developers that create them, will be an incredibly important front in the coming console war.
The popularity of shared worlds and console MMOs
Journey demonstrated a miniscule sliver of the possibility of 'shared world' gaming, but Bungie is thinking a lot bigger with Destiny, while Ubisoft's The Division and The Crew, along with Need For Speed: Rivals from EA, will more fully explore the potential of an always online virtual world that players can dip into with friends and strangers at will.
In addition, and with massively multiplayer games like Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, The Elder Scrolls Online, Planetside 2 and Warframe all promised for next generation consoles, online gaming looks set to explode well beyond limited lobby-based systems that we've come to know with the current-gen.
The provision of 'second screen' gaming
A not-inconsiderable portion of the games shown at E3 this year boasted the option to enhance the experience with the addition of an application run on a tablet or smartphone, with examples ranging from calling in airstrikes in Battlefield 4, asking your friend to help you escape enemies in Watch Dogs by cutting power to your city using their phone, and the chance to make phone in-game calls and unlock additional content in Dead Rising 3 using an external device.
Of course, the Wii U GamePad and the PS Vita have held the same promise for a while, but being able to impact the outcome of a game on a console using another device miles away connected only by the internet is intriguing. Gimmicky, but intriguing.
The growth of open worlds
Ever other game announced and shown for next generation consoles thus far have contained an open-world element of some kind, and after Grand Theft Auto V launches in 2013 the path will be clear for known games like inFamous, Assassin's Creed, Dead Rising, The Witcher 3, Metal Gear Solid and Watch Dogs to provide their own brand of sandbox fun.
Thanks to the power of next generation consoles, however, developers will be even more tempted to explore the possibilities of detailed (and enormous) virtual worlds, so expect a new wave of these sorts of experiences to continue to be announced in the years to come.
The furthering of free-to-play and mobile experimentation
One of the biggest surprises at E3 wasn't the announcement of Killer Instinct, per se, but the method in which it will be delivered to the world: As a free-to-play micro-payment based fighting game. It'll be a grand experiment for what appears to be a full triple-A Xbox One game, and if it succeeds it may just open the floodgates for similar projects of its scope.
Namco Bandai and Tecmo Koei aren't waiting for the results of Microsoft's experiment, however, having both announced free-to-play versions of Tekken and Dead or Alive, with Ridge Racer Driftopia also on the horizon as a micro-transaction based online game for PC.
Sony has conducted similar tests with Uncharted 3's multiplayer, and with Capcom investing more heavily in smaller experiences and mobile games we're sure to see a number of other publishers test the waters with experimentation of their own.
The support of Oculus Rift virtual reality gaming
Slowly but surely, the promise of virtual reality gaming has returned following dismal attempts back in the early to mid-nineties, except this time the potential of the technology is to be better realised with innovations at companies like Oculus VR.
As companies like Epic Games and CCP explore the possibilities of the tech with demonstrations, the reveal of a higher definition version of the headset at E3 and the recent acquisition of id Software's John Carmack as the new chief technology officer, we can only expect more publishers and developers to announce support for the Oculus Rift in the months to come, as entertainment companies begin to see its potential, too.
The move to support streaming video
The rise of Twitch.tv as the defacto video streaming service for competitive online matches, and the reveal of a partnership with Microsoft for streaming Xbox One games like Killer Instinct, reveals a growing demand by gamers for the option to share their experiences with other players, while similarly enjoying high level play by professional players in Dota 2, League of Legends, StarCraft 2 and even Quake LIVE.
With the reveal of the PlayStation 4, Sony demonstrated its own plans to share game clips and screenshots with friends, and Microsoft will provide something similar on Xbox One. The sharing of game videos is only going to get easier in the future, and it's possible that the potential for players to become stars in the world of videogame streaming may just replicate the rise of the YouTube celebrity.
The turning tides and changing fortunes of console manufacturers
Just because Microsoft has performed a few missteps with its Xbox One messaging while allowing Sony to capitalise on every mistake, doesn't mean that the company can't wipe away the past and turn the perception of its next-gen console all the way around. There's also every possibility that Sony is found wonting, which will let Microsoft exploit a weakness in the PlayStation 4's feature-set.
Similarly, the potential exists for Nintendo to transform the perception of its Wii U. Its first-party line-up of games will go a long way to retaining the faithful and hardcore fanbase, and exclusive games like Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101 and Sonic: Lost World will continue to generate interest, but third-party support from Ubisoft and renewed development efforts from Activision may just convince more publishers and developers to look to Nintendo's ailing home console as a viable destination for their games. Support from EA, in particular, would be key while the reveal of Shigeru Miyamoto's next project might just be enough to persuade more gamers to invest in a Wii U.

A closer look at 'The Rachel Maddow Show' visit to the Arizona-Mexico border
Monday, August 23rd, 2010The Rachel Maddow Show sent a couple of scouts to the Arizona-Mexico border in Nogales on August 10th.
The scouts, Laura Conaway and Bill Wolff, arrived in Tucson in the wee hours of the morning on the 10th. They grabbed some shut eye at Bill's dad's house in Tucson.
At some point on the morning of the 10th, they woke up and left the Wolff house. They couldn't know for sure if they would see some coyotes smuggling illegals at the border.
As a side note, departure time from the Wolff house was not mentioned, but they left for Nogales. The trip to Nogales takes about an hour an a half.
In her blog, Conaway stated that when they arrived to Nogales, "Lieutenant RJ Rodriguez, a deputy to Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada, took us into downtown Nogales."
She continued:
"As Bill Wolff pointed out, we saw Border Patrol agents everywhere we went in Nogales — hanging around downtown, cruising along the border fence every five minutes, eating in the local restaurants."
Wolff and Conaway did find some time to be taken to a section of the fence where it is interrupted by a wash. Conaway made a short blog post and took a short video about that quick stop:
Then, it was off to Tucson to the Tap Room Bar at the Congress Hotel for drinks, arriving back in Tucson at 5:30ish that same day.
So, perhaps they left Nogales around 4:00 pm?
I wonder how long they were at the bar versus the border? Conaway posted many more videos to document the great time the scouts had at the bar. There was only one video posted of the border fence! Plenty of documentation, however, at the Tap Room Bar:
Based on this visit to downtown Nogales and a visit to a selected section of fence in Nogales, this trip lasted just a few hours.
Based in this "evidence", Rachel's scout formed an opinion for Rachel Maddow to run with. According to Conaway:
"The charge that Arizona had to pass an anti-immigration bill because the federal government isn't enforcing the border proves patently ridiculous once you go down there and take a look."
As evidenced from the blog posts, the scouts spent more time in downtown Nogales and on restaurant row, than checking out dangerous sections of the border – on the outskirts of Nogales.
Based on Conaway's blog post, she was anxious to get back to Tucson for the party at the Tap Room.
Weren't they interested in seriously researching a situation that impacts the lives of people living in dangerous border regions?
Sheriff Estrada has shared at least twice on Maddow's show that the real problems were in the mountains and the canyons outside of town. Yet, Estrada's tour guide took Maddow's scouts to downtown Nogales to see the action there!
Santa Cruz County officials sure gave Maddow and her scouts a "true view" of the border.
What a way to support residents in the rural border regions of your county.
Shame on you!
CLARIFICATION at 8:42 pm: For readers who have never been to Nogales, the downtown area of Nogales is adjacent to the large Inspection Station/checkpoint (AKA, The Port of Entry), that is located between Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. Most illegal crossers will cross far away from the Port of Entry…crossing in the rural border regions, well away from downtown Nogales.
UPDATE 11:26 pm: At the Port of Entry of all places, yet ANOTHER tunnel existed under the southbound lane of the Port of Entry that Maddow's scouts visited. Right under everyone's noses.
There is no problem at the border?
Via the Associated Press:
(AP) – 8 hours ago
TUCSON, Ariz. — Another border tunnel has been found on Arizona's border with Mexico.
U.S. Border Patrol agents working in cooperation with local and federal law enforcement agencies found a tunnel Friday in Nogales, under the southbound lane at the DeConcini Port of Entry.
The weight of a passenger bus caused a collapse in the road.
Border Patrol agents, with assistance from Mexican law enforcement, discovered an unfinished tunnel originating in Mexico.
From Oct. 1, 2009, to July 31, 2010, five tunnels were identified within the Tucson Sector. During the same period last year, 20 tunnels were discovered.
Authorities say smugglers mostly use tunnels to move drugs to the U.S.

Linux may be somewhat secure if one limits it to simple routing and firewall-related tasks. It's certainly not secure if one decides to use it, for example, to host world-accessible NFS shares or try to contain malicious local users.
And by this point in time, it can't really be fixed short of rewriting it in a safe language.

Release Date: May 29, 2008
SECA Fuel Cell Program Selects Two Projects Low-Cost Fuel Cell Systems to Address Energy Security, Climate and Water Challenges
WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has selected two projects for the Department's Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA) Program portfolio. The projects, focused on enhancing energy security through zero-emission applications, will be led by UTC Power, a United Technologies Corporation, in partnership with Delphi Corporation, and Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Systems (U.S.) Inc. The Rolls-Royce project will include work at Ohio's Stark State College Fuel Cell Prototyping Center, which is also supported through a National Science Foundation grant.
From an environmental perspective, fuel cells are one of the most attractive technologies for generating electricity. Solid oxide fuel cells operate by separating and transferring oxygen across a solid electrolyte membrane, where it reacts with a fuel - such as synthesis gas derived from coal, biofuels or natural gas - to produce steam and carbon dioxide (CO2). Condensing the steam results in a pure stream of CO2 gas; this can be readily captured for storage or other use in a central location. This feature, coupled with the well-known fact that fuel cell efficiency does not depend on high temperatures, results in near-zero emissions (e.g., NOx < 0.5ppm) at equivalent or reduced cost-of-electricity compared to today's power generation.
To realize the intrinsic advantages of solid oxide fuel cells requires achievement of SECA's cost reduction goals. The SECA project portfolio, including the Rolls-Royce and UTC Power projects, will research, develop and demonstrate fuel cell technologies that can support power generation systems as large as several hundred megawatts capacity. Key system requirements to be achieved include:
SECA was established by DOE's Office of Fossil Energy in 2000 to research and develop low-cost, modular, fuel-flexible solid oxide fuel cell systems by 2010. In early 2005, the SECA program was accelerated to deliver megawatt-class fuel cell systems in response to the emerging national need for low-cost carbon capture technologies along with the more efficient and cost- effective use of fuels abundantly available in the United States and the need to address reduced water usage in power plants.
The Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) manages the SECA program and its projects.

Being back in the Midwest is a great feeling. I started my career in Duluth, Minnesota several years ago and though I have hopped across the country my dream has always been to return home. I grew up in the Minnetonka, Minnesota area and went to school at the University of Minnesota on the gorgeous Twin Cities campus.
My career has taken me to the frigid state of Alaska where I covered amazing stories in a breathtaking landscape. I worked for two years at the NBC affiliate anchoring and reporting on education stories. One of my most memorable experiences was traveling in a tiny float plane to the village of Savoonga which is a tiny island on the Bering Sea to unearth a mysterious "whistling language" and interview legendary carver Floyd Kingeekuk. My photographer and I had to watch for polar bears! I was honored with an award from the Alaska press club on my story highlighting orphans of meth users in the state. Living and working in the last frontier is an adventure I will never forget.
After Alaska, I moved to beautiful Eugene, Oregon where I anchored Fox News at 10 for four years. I fell in love with the wonderful people I met in Eugene and am blessed to have had the opportunity to live and work there. My wonderful viewers honored me by awarding me the title of "Best Local Television Personality" by the readers of the Eugene Weekly.
You can also catch some glimpses of me in the Hollywood movie "State of Play" where I play none other than a news anchor.
In my spare time I enjoy reading and spending time with family and friends. I'm also obsessed with coffee and enjoy blogging and writing.
I am excited to make the Cedar Valley my home and please do not hesitate to drop me a line. I love to hear what my viewers have to say.

He has translated three volumes of Jacques Réda's poetry and prose—Return to Calm (Host, 2007), Thirteen Songs of Dark Love (VVV, 2008) and Europes (Host, 2009)—as well as Bernard Vargaftig's poetry collection As Breathing (VVV, 2010). His scholarly research focuses on how writers reflect and shape identity and emphasizes the creative process: poets who physically explore the world, transcribe the relationships they have seen and felt, and enable the reader to share similar experiences. As an invited writer for the AATF French Review, he evaluates each year recent poetry, prose, and scholarly volumes. He also publishes on music (pop, jazz, chanson), translation, and feminist perspectives. Currently, he is preparing studies of postwar French authors and the 21st-century avant-garde.

Whenever I travel I tend to be drawn to the mundane: Where do people live? Where do they shop? What do they eat? Somehow, I often end up passing a graveyard. Over time and many trips, I have started to make observations about the different traditions that are observed around burials. And as a gardener, I find I am often drawn specifically to take note of and/or document the plant life that grows there as well as the small gardens that families plant on or around individual plots.
In Dominica I spent more time in cemeteries than is usual as I was specifically looking for any traces of my ancestors that I could find. With little resources or space, burial grounds are regularly overturned to make room for new bodies so it was rare to find a gravestone older than 20-30 years. Edited to add: Commenting below reminded me that Hurricane David completely devastated Dominica in 1979. That's would be a major factor in why there are few gravestones before 1980.
I did not expect to find anything, but Davin and I looked carefully just in case. While searching, I took the time to document some of the interesting things that I saw, specifically the plants. I thought you might like to see it too and even though it has taken me three years to post these images, I had you in mind when I took them.

Why Simms Waders
Why GORE-TEX®?
- Product Care
GORE-TEX® Wader Care:
The #1 tip to prolonging the life of a wader is drying your waders. It is important to dry your waders out after each use. We recommend drying the inside first (if damp) and then the outside. When drying the outside you can pull your gravel guards up until the feet are dry and then flip them down to dry the rest of the wader
Washing - Use a front load machine or hand wash. Use cold water and normal detergent that does not contain bleach. Once you have washed the waders make sure you dry them properly start by drying the inside first. Never put your waders in the dryer, the heat will adversely affect the seam tape on your waders and will void your warranty.
Fit - We offer more sizes than anyone, a good fit goes a long way to extending the life of your wader. Make it clear that people should use their exact measurements as we have already provided extra room for layering and movement.
General Care - Do not store inside your car for long periods of time excess heat will damage your waders.
Use A Mat - Always put your waders on using a protective mat to shield the neoprene feet from rocks. The Headwaters gear bag for example has a pull out mat that works great for this.
Proper Layering - Do not wear jeans under your waders. Jeans are highly abrasive wearing on your waders from the inside out. More importantly jeans and sweatpants do not transfer moisture away from the body. Use proper layering (to view our layering collection, go here). Using layers such as these will help wick moisture away from your body and assist in the waders ability to breathe.
Stains - most stain removers will work fine on our waders. As long as the stain remover does not contain bleach you should be o.k.
- Technology
The GORE-TEX® membrane is the heart of all GORE -TEX® products. The GORE-TEX® membrane contains 9 billion microscopic pores per square inch. These pores are so small that water droplets cannot get through but water vapor can still escape. Water from the outside cannot penetrate and cold winds cannot pass through, but perspiration can escape easily, keeping you dry and comfortable all day. GORE-TEX® fabrics are created by integrating the GORE-TEX® membrane between an outer fabric and lining.

- Great Waders for Summer Review by John
Overall I love the idea of these waders being convertible. In the summer I can wear them as pants during the hot weather inbetween water releases. The only issue I have with these waders is the open D ring that connects the suspenders in the back to the waders themselves. The open D ring can get stretched out over time from neeling down and cause the suspenders to come unhooked. I ended up buying a small carabbiner to attach the suspenders to the waders and haven't had any issues since.(Posted on 8/4/13)
- Love the waders but......... Review by Jimmy D
Overall Same as Vito the suspenders suck but I fixed that by wrapping them in duct tape problem solved . Ive had these waders for two years now and have put them through some pretty tough conditions and so far have been flawless. I bought Simms for quality and durability and that have got. Thanks Simms for a great product. Some day maybe will be able to the new G4Z those look like great waders.(Posted on 4/15/13)
- Great waders - Simms are the best I've ever owned Review by Vito
Overall Everything about them works very well, except for the incomplete "D" clips. I've had them come undone on numerous occasions. I also would suggest 3/4" snap/ clip Fastex buckles instead of the "D" clips. Or, perhaps using two clips reversed would work better.?
Regardless of this minor concern, Simms is still the best wading system I've ever used. Will not go back to bargain brands ever again. Made in USA is the way to go for me!(Posted on 3/18/13)
- Ok Waders Review by Benjamin
Overall I was really excited when I bought these waders. I had read up allot on the features. I bought these waders shortly after the change in design, with the seams coming up and down the front and back of the legs. I liked the idea of there being 30% less stitching, which means 30% less holes in the wader, and less of a chance for leaks. I didn't have any problem for about 2 years of hard wading, but in the time since those two years, it has been an up hill battle to keep the water out. My waders are now held together with aqua seal, My old guide weight waders pants lasted me six years, with allot less problems. They just don't seem to make them like they used to. I will continue to buy Simms, because they do still make a great product, but it isn't what is used to be.(Posted on 1/28/13)
- G3 Convertibles Review by MTrout
Overall Love these waders, very comfortable and have preformed great so far. Having the option to change from waist to chest is the Best and a must here in MT when weather conditions change frequently. Great Wader! Keep it up Simms!(Posted on 12/11/12)
- Needs "D" rings for suspenders Review by Israel Wick
Overall I have used these waders for over a year. Overall they have performed great. I enjoy having the option of pants that convert to chest waders when needed. However the flimsy open "C" rings that attach the suspenders to the wader need to be replaced with a closed "D" ring. My suspenders keep "popping" loose from my waders, through the opening in the ring, and I have to re-attach them all the time. An improvement on the velcro belt would help too.(Posted on 11/8/12)
- Convertible with issues Review by Tanner
Overall I am somewhat baffled with this wader. For years I wore the G3 Stockingfoot and absolutely loved em'. Went to the Convertible thinking I would enjoy the ability to wear them as hip waders. I could have made a worse decision. The flaws I see on a daily basis; The Tall XL's fit me in my waste like a pair of pants 6 sizes to big, when I do convert them down the hip belt has way too much excess material. Secondly, I wear the Headwaters pack, any time I bring the pack around my waiste the velcro belt comes undone. When I convert the wader to my chest the velcro constantly comes loose, I debate sitting down for every time I do the velro "pops." I love Simms and it is all I wear but I have contemplated many times arguing for them to send me a pair of G3 Stockingfoots to keep my business. Overall I am not happy with this wader and every time I wear them I feel like I wasted $450. I may be paying Bozeman a visit to discuss my future with these waders.(Posted on 7/17/12)
- G3 Guide™ Convertible - Add Review Review by Dideus
Overall I' ve got it since 2 years. The top of the top ! I' m a French Flyfishing competitor man. This wader is the best.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Ehhhhh.... Review by Tungsten
Overall As far as durability these waders are the real deal from the waist down. The ONE glaring deficiency with these waders are the velcro attachment pieces for the upper half of the wader. The velcro very rarely holds them up and you know more times than not when I realize they've come detached, it's when I'm up above my belt in the water. A simple latch or clasp system here would solve this problem immediately but unfortunately my pair has the velcro. One other minor piece that needs to be addressed is the incomplete rectangle rings on the inside of the waders where the shoulder straps connect to the wader. The gap in the "strap holder" is too wide to constantly hold them in place. I routinely find myself having to stop what I'm doing and reattach the shoulder strap to the inside of my waders. I click in system there would suffice. Other than that, these are great.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- What you been looking for! Review by Captain J.T.
Overall Highly recommend these waders. I was sick of rolling down my waders and using the suspenders as a belt. 90% of the time I do not need the " above belt " portion of the waders, and if I do, I probably am in too deep anyway. These waders are a solution I have been waiting on for years!(Posted on 7/16/12)

1st Test Day 2: India vs Australia Live Streaming, Ind v Aus Live
India vs Australia 1st Test Cricket Match Day 2 Live Streaming: INDIA Score: 84/2 II Overs: 22 (Pujara: 33*, Tendulkar: 38*)
Tendulkar and Pujara are looking good. After a sizzling beginning, Tendulkar has settled down. Pujara is also looking solid having scored three boundaries of his own. Debutant Moises Henriques has been introduced into the attack replacing James Pattinson.
India vs Australia 1st Test Cricket Match Day 2 Live Streaming Link 1
India vs Australia 1st Test Cricket Match Day 2 Live Streaming Link 2
There was a huge appeal for lbw as Tendukar took a long stride forward to a Lyon delivery and didn't offered any short. The umpire wasn't impressed. 22 overs have been bowled in theis session with Australia rocking India early with two wickets in Vijay and Sehwag. Tendulkar began his innings in style with a cover drive off Pattinson and adding two more in the next three deliveries. Batting alongside him is Pujara who has looked solid. The current partnership is now worth 72 runs.
Nathan Lyon has been brought back after an early introduction in the 12th over replacing Henriques. His first over fetched India three singles. Pujara is growing in confidence with each over. The 16th over bowled by Henriques was a maiden. Off the next bowled by Siddle, Pujara played one past gully for a boundary. That over cost Australia seven runs. Pujara then flicked Henriques first delivery of the next over for another boundary. Six runs came in that over. Clarke then replaced both of them reintroducing Starc and Lyon into the attack.
James Pattinson strikes for Australia! Pitched up delivery and Vijay stays rooted to his crease and goes for a drive. He can only manage an inside edge that uproots the leg stump! Umpire asks him to wait to check for the no-ball. No problem on that front as Australia get their first wicket. Vijay scored 10 (15b, 4X2).
Virender Sehwag has been bowled! Played on! James Pattinson has removed both the Indian openers. Sehwag was a bit slow as he defended a short one from Pattinson as the ball bounced and hit on the top of the leg stump to dislodge the bail. He wasn't looking up, searching for the ball on the ground. He scored 2 (11b).

The Most Successful Food Commercials
A lot of people try to avoid television commercials, for good reason. They are kind of like an uninvited guest in your living room: there you are, hanging out with your funny friend Jon Stewart, when along comes some way-too-perky lady trying to sell you car insurance. Not cool.
But Super Bowl Sunday—February 7 this year—is the exception. Some people look forward to watching the commercials even more than the game. With so many receptive eyeballs (a rarity in this age of DVRs, the Internet and cable fragmentation), advertisers put on their best effort to entertain. This is not so easy to do in 30 to 60 seconds, while also getting across a convincing sales message. I previously worked in an advertising agency "creative department" for seven years, so I can attest to this firsthand.
Knowing how difficult they are to produce, I truly appreciate a good commercial when I see one. Food commercials have an advantage—if you make the product look mouth-watering, it will sell. But it is still not easy to make something memorable.
The following are a few of the food commercials of the past that I think were most successful, either because they have embedded themselves in the popular culture or they were just plain entertaining.
Children's cereals have produced some enduring icons—the Froot Loops toucan, Rice Krispies' Snap, Crackle and Pop, and the Lucky Charms leprechaun, to name a few—but none has had the lasting impact of Life cereal's "Mikey" commercial from the 1970s. The message is simple: it's good for you, but even picky eaters will like it. And although the original ad hasn't aired since 1982, people who are too young to have watched it during their Saturday morning cartoons (like our co-blogger, Abby Callard) still know the line, "He likes it! Hey, Mikey!"
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, "Got Milk?" might be the most sincerely flattered commercial campaign of all time. Ever since the California Milk Processor Board aired the first (and possibly best) in the series, "Aaron Burr," in 1993, everyone from exterminators to gyms has ripped off the slogan.
Some of the best commercials are those that ring true. Such was the case with the campaign that asked, "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?" The answer, of course, was impossible to discover, because no one (myself included) can resist biting through the crunchy candy coating to the chewy center. The burning question had a revival a few years ago, in the form of a suggestive song by rapper Lil' Kim.
You don't hear jingles as frequently as you used to, yet they are one of the most effective (if annoying) ways to be remembered. Oscar Meyer's brand was particularly good at this: its jingles for Oscar Meyer wieners and bologna still occasionally creep into my head today, even though I haven't heard them for more than 20 years. Watch them if you dare—you'll be singing "B-O-L-O-G-N-A" for days.
While we're on the topic of jingles, you know you have a successful one when it becomes a hit record. That's what happened with the 1971 song "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," which originally aired as a Coca-Cola commercial (and included the line, "I'd like to buy the world a Coke"). The ad, featuring a multicultural group of young people, tapped into the idealism of the era, and the song was re-recorded without the Coke reference, selling millions of copies.
In between "How many licks?" in the 1970s and "Got milk?" in the 1990s, the biggest question in advertising was "Where's the beef?" In 1984, Claire Peller posed this query to a fictional Wendy's competitor that served her a gigantic fluffy bun with a tiny patty. Twenty-five years later, the catch phrase is still used to imply that something or someone is lacking substance.
Finally, since we're talking about the Super Bowl, I'd be remiss to leave out beer advertisements. This could be a whole post on its own (maybe next year), so I'll just mention my personal favorite. So many beer ads, even if funny, are shamelessly sexist (to both genders). The long-running Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" campaign, though, manages to play on male stereotypes in a light-hearted way that is hilarious rather than offensive.
