American Idol's last hometown audition stop was in Denver, Colorado. Victoria Beckham was back to help Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Kara DioGuardi in the search for the next Idol. Kara and Posh were on the scene first and looked stunning in flattering dresses. Simon and Randy strolled in next wearing t-shirts. Denver has turned up some past superstars such as Season 5's Chris Daughtry, so here's hoping that Season 9 will do the same!
Mark Labriola II admits that he looks like Jack Black. JB is the front man of Tenacious D, so would Mark be able to sing like Jack? His tie is tucked into his shirt. I wonder if it's his personal stylistic choice to tuck his tie in, if it's an accidental dressing mishap, or if he courteously tucked it in so the judges could read his audition tag number. Either way, it's a choice as unique as Mark himself. Mark isn't all comedy; from ages 4-10 mark was a bit of a fugitive on the run with his mother who was escaping his father. They made it to Hawaii and Alaska, which aren't easy places to get to. Would Mark have an easier time getting to Hollywood? He sang "Tempted" by Squeeze, a solid and interesting choice. This fugitive/computer programmer/Jack Black doppelganger can sing! Victoria said she thought this was going to be a joke audition, and was surprised that Mark has a good voice. Simon appreciates Mark's honesty and ability to withstand Simon grilling him about his fugitive mom. Mark makes it to Hollywood, which sounds like the one place where his mom doesn't currently reside. With his own kid in his arms, Mark shed a tear over the idea of keeping the dream alive at the ripe old age of 28.
Mario Galvan gets the nervous giggles. He can't stop laughing when he's in front of the judges. It's not the cute kind of uncontrollable laughter that becomes contagious; it's the awkward nervous laughter that makes an uncomfortable situation all the more uncomfortable. He attempted to sing Elvis' "Jailhouse Rock," and Kara nearly spit out her beverage. Now that kind of spit-out-your-drink laughter is enjoyable! Unfortunately, Mario will not be laughing all the way to Hollywood.
Kimberly Kerbow has a super sassy daughter who is flirting with the camera. Mom and daughter are practically dressed like twins. When Kim entered the judges' room, she flirts with the judges too. The apple didn't fall far from the tree! She took on the refreshing "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson. When Kimberly directed the lyrics "I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair" at Simon, Randy stopped and a discussion about whether or not Simon needs Rogaine quite yet ensues. Ironically, it's fairly obvious that Kim is wearing a wig. The judges like Kim's voice, and Simon thinks she's funny (albeit "lippy") and she walks away with a golden ticket. No mention of the wig comes up until after Kim leaves, and Simon brought it up immediately. Randy was in disbelief, but style icons Victoria and Kara confirmed it. We'll see Kimberly, and possibly her wig, in Hollywood.
Danelle Hayes is a mom who hosts a live karaoke competition and sings in a cover band. I can just hear the karaoke comments coming from Simon already. She is very emotional when she greets the judges and talks about how pursuing a career in this industry can be quite a ride. She sang Melissa Etheridge's "I'm The Only One" and the judges loved her honesty and ability to move them through music. With four solid yeses, Danelle walks away with a ticket.
Casey James was in a motorcycle accident and broke many bones. Despite the pain he experiences from the crash, he worked through it all and learned to play the guitar again. Casey chose to sing the beautiful "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" for his audition. Simon didn't find his audition to be anything special, and Posh asked Casey to take his hair down from his ponytail. The ladies liked what they saw and Posh said Casey looks like a model, which is a wonderful compliment to receive from the woman who's married to David Beckham. The girls try to see what else they can get Casey to do, and they ask him to unbutton his shirt a little. Casey proceeds to take off his shirt entirely. Kara and Victoria don't hesitate to give Casey a "yes." Simon said no, and Randy pleased the girls by saying yes, but encourages Casey to "take some star-persona pills."
High school student Tori Kelly brought a fan club along. One of her pint-sized family friends, Hope, said that she's going to be on the show when she's 16 and she wants to meet the judges. Hope entered the audition room with Tori and handed self-drawn portraits of the judges to each respective panelist. Simon gets a good laugh and said that Hope's sketch of Randy is as accurate as a photograph. Posh greeted Tori in her usual way, by calling her and her dress gorgeous. While Tori sang "Gravity," Mama Posh sat Hope Starr on her lap. Kara and Victoria instantly liked Tori, but Simon didn't, saying he preferred Hope to Tori. While Posh vocalized that Tori has the whole package and is classy, Simon described Tori as "a human orange." Randy, Kara, and Victoria sent Tori through to Hollywood, ending day one on a high note.
Day one in Denver proved to be the most successful audition day yet, with 14 contestants sent through to Hollywood (that's one more than Chicago sent in two days!). Would day two be as promising?
Austin Paul is equally confident about his football and singing skills. Number 42 on his list of things to accomplish before he dies is to make it to Hollywood. That's either a lofty list or he's really amazing. Singing the third John Mayer song in a row, Austin's performance of "Bigger Than My Body" left something to be desired. Kara immediately noticed Austin's cockiness, and Simon called him annoying. Meanwhile, Posh has jumped on the "Car-a" train. It must be a British way to say her name. The judges gave him a unanimous no. Perhaps he should stick with his Music Composition major and not pick up a minor in Vocal Performance.
When confidence was at an all-time high in the Mile High City, in walked Kenny Everett, a young man who considers his singing "a public service to others." After dancing the running man and performing high kicks, Kenny enters the auditions room to sing Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You" and stripped out of his flannel. The best part of his performance was when he held an air microphone while dancing the box step. Simon described his agonizing voice as sounding like he's been punched. Kenny clearly thinks he's the greatest and cannot believe he's hearing "no." In order to perform a public service for the judges, he busts out another Blige song, "No More Drama," and I only know that was the song he squealed because I have the official song list in my hands. Not totally defeated, Kenny leaves the room and performs his civic duty by singing throughout the hotel lobby.
Nicci Nix is currently living in Florence, Italy, and flew 14 hours to make this audition. Hopefully she makes it to Hollywood since that will be a long, sad flight back to Florence if it's bad news. Nicci has a very interesting voice, which prompts Simon to try and get Posh to ask if Nicci has consumed any helium. Of course Victoria greets her by commenting on her beautiful looks and skin. Singing "Something Kinda Oooh" by Girls Aloud, Nicci shows a more mature tone to her voice. Simon calls her "a funny little thing," Randy gave her "a million percent yes," Kara only gave her "one thousand percent yes," and Posh asked for her skin care regimen. Well, not quite, but she said yes. Nicci calls her mom and gives her the good news, and her mom screamed so loud, Nicci's roommates in Florence could hear her!
Haeley Vaughn is a happy young girl with a guitar strapped to her body. She was born 6/5/1993 which is notable because she was born in 1993! That's nuts because a) she makes me feel old b) she made the cut-off to audition by a handful of days. Haeley's birthday came two months early, and she entered this world at just two pounds. Her hardships didn't end there; her father passed away when Haeley was only 10 years old. Her mom has wanted Haeley to audition for this show since it started, which was when Haeley was 8! Haeley takes the trip to the Denver audition room in an elevator crowded with spunky young girls and family members. With a desire to be the first black mainstream pop country singer, Haeley auditions with a tough song -- Carrie Underwood's "Last Name." Also, that song has a mature message that Haeley won't learn about until she's older. Simon calls her "a cute little thing" and notices the slight lisp she has when she sings. A lisp could be annoying on some singers, but since Haeley is so darn cute, it's endearing. The judges like that she's a black country singer, and Randy and Kara suggest that Haeley lowers her register. Haeley mentions that her sister and mom are huge Idol fans, so the judges invite them in. Momma and Sister Vaughn are so happy to see the judges, they can't believe they're there in person. They also get to witness great news first handedly: Randy gives his highest percentage of the day, "100 million percent yes," and the other judges concur. Haeley is off to Hollywood, and so is Momma Vaughn since Haeley's only 16!
At the end of day two 11 tickets were handed out, for a grand total of 26 successful auditions in Denver.
But the show's not over yet. First we got to meet the answer to last year's Bikini Girl -- enter Bikini Boy! Kara and Simon immediately object. Bikini boy, a.k.a. Tyler Hemmerling, attempts to sing Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart," and the room clears out instantly. On Kara's way out the door she offers some great advice, "Don't move your hips like that honey." Ty is left alone, and stands there scratching his behind.
As I head out to take a shower after watching that last scene, remember that next up is "The Road to Hollywood" with all new footage.

The team behind Windows 8 have really pushed the limits with the operating system and out done themselves. It brings a lot of innovations and makes things a lot easier for the user, when comparing with now ancient versions like XP or Vista.
One of the reasons why I'm saying this is because the process of installing a printer in Windows 8 is now really easy. To be more specific, there are two ways of doing this and I'm going to detail both of them below.
The 'easy does it' way.

Is There a Republican 'War on Women'? >
The Republican 'War on Women' Is Real
The GOP has launched the worst assault on women's rights in a generation
April 10, 2012
There is a caterpillar native to the Americas from the Silkworm moth genus Lonomia. The caterpillar doesn't look dangerous, but if you attempt to harm it, it secretes a venomous anticoagulant that causes renal failure, hemorrhaging, and death. Perhaps this is what Reince Priebus meant by the GOP "War on Women" being like a "War on Caterpillars." Although any given incremental erosion of women's reproductive rights from a GOP sponsored bill at the state level seems harmless enough to the future of the GOP, taken in the aggregate they are likely to cause the party severe electoral distress.
[Read Romney, Obama Agree on One Thing: Let Women Join Augusta.]
Caterpillars aside, the GOP "War on Women" is real and it has real-world consequences for the millions of women whose lives can and will be impacted by legislation that erodes more than a century's worth of progress on women's reproductive rights. There were over 1100 antichoice provisions introduced in 2011 and 900 antichoice provisions introduced so far in 2012. Legislators in 13 states have introduced 22 bills seeking to mandate that a woman obtain an ultrasound procedure before having an abortion. Of these, seven states are pursuing the state-rape vaginal probe variety. In addition, legislators in 13 states have sponsored right-wing "Personhood" type bills, too extreme even for the electorate of Mississippi, that could make both abortion and reproductive choices highly restricted.
Lest we think that the rhetoric around these bills might contain the damage to the GOP's standing amongst women, please note how Georgia state legislator Rep. Terry England compares women to cows and pigs on his farm in support of bill forcing women to carry even inviable fetuses to term and Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett justifies forced ultrasound bill by telling women to "just close your eyes."
[Read Republicans Brought the Gender Gap Upon Themselves.]
Like the Lonomia caterpillar, poor women seeking healthcare and women seeking abortions and birth control may seem powerless, but they are not. I can assure you that women all over the country are paying close attention to the GOP "War on Women." Women know that the GOP victory in 2010, especially on the state level, was supposed to be about jobs, the economy, and containing government overreach. Instead, that GOP victory has translated into the worst assault on women's rights in a generation. Expect these women, who have already caused hemorrhaging in Mitt Romney's support amongst swing-state voters, to induce electoral catastrophe for the GOP in November.

Central Opens DI-A Campaign With Win |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
Central Washington scored its first win of the season against DI-A competition Saturday, beating Santa Clara 61-5 in Santa Clara, Calif. The Wildcats are playing as a DI-A independent this season, so each match against DI-A competition counts towards their playoff resume. Central Washington ran in 10 tries on the day, four of which were scored by lock Sean Wanigasekera. "He did some great work in the air in the lineout. That was as dominant piece for us and he really sets the tempo for that," Central coach Bob Ford said of Wanigasekera. Center Tanner Barnes also had a good performance and scored a try of his own. So did freshman 7s standout Shelby Williams. And Bowling Green transfer Max Narewski slotted three conversions and a penalty in his 15s debut for the Wildcats. 2-0 after wins over Santa Clara and Oregon State, Central shoots for 3-0 next week against Sacramento State. Sac State, like Santa Clara, belongs to the DI-A California Conference. The fixture gives Central another chance to iron its systems out before the schedule gets tougher against the likes of Western Washington, Saint Mary's and Cal Poly later on. "We're really trying to play a pretty expansive game. That's kind of what we're always trying to aspire to," said Ford. "We're still not quite getting some of the work done at the tackle contest in order to create that quick ball at times. When we do, that really opens up a lot of options for us, and so we're focused on that area of our game. Today we did fairly well at that." Along with the tetra-trick for Wanigasekera, Jacob Bates, Aladdin Schirmer, Josh Bower, Tanner Barnes, Doug McKinley and Williams scored tries. Narewski added three conversions and a penalty, while Alex Reher added one conversion. |

Black Friday Weekend
Posted Dec 3 // Emily Helm
Happy Black Friday! Thanksgiving officially rings in the holiday season and I couldn't be happier about that. While most of us are recovering from a day full of eating and gathering with family and friends others are prepping for the biggest shopping holiday of the year, Black Friday! I have never been a big Black Friday shopper, all of the chaos kind of freaks me out...but let's be honest, I love a good deal! But with the chaos comes needing a plan! Don't go into Black Friday without one. Here are my steps for making Black Friday (and really the Holiday season) a successful one!
Event Recap | Holiday Styling at Nordstrom
Posted Nov 19 // Emily Helm
Last Monday Nordstrom held an event in the Topshop & Savvy section for holiday outfit styling. With the holidays just around the corner and party invites arriving in the mail, I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to nail down some fun (and affordable) outfits before time got away from me! Leigh, a stylist in the section helped us pull looks and style pieces that would be perfect for any holiday party or event. While sipping on champagne and catching up with friends I got to take a look around the new Topshop section and find some really great staples that will last me all holiday season.
While every holiday season is filled with classic black pieces, I was excited to see that embellishments and sequins were making more of a debut! They were delicately placed on sweaters and even on some skirts. I was a big fan! I also loved how much velvet was featured. It seemed that I saw at least one velvet skirt, top and pair of pants!
If you're looking for the perfect holiday outfit with just the right amount of sparkle and sass, visit Leigh @ Nordstrom at SouthPark and she will certainly point you in the right direction!

Holiday Styling Guide: Thanksgiving
Posted Nov 25 // Emily Helm
It's official, the Holiday Season is in full swing, whether we are ready for it or not! The stores have had Christmas decorations out for weeks and everyone is last minute menu planning for Thanksgiving! Me on the other hand? I'm outfit planning! Every year I look forward to the holidays for all the normal reasons, being with family, celebrating the holiday and then of course, being able to wear a new outfit!! I am always on the search for a great holiday outfit. Thanksgiving is one of the easiest outfits to plan for. I tend to stick to an outfit that is not only chic, but very comfortable (since I am inevitably going to be stuffed after dinner!)
I am loving big, cowl neck sweaters this year with everything. This one from Lucky Brand is near perfect! It is a classic sweater that can be worn and styled multiple ways! And I couldn't imagine anything better to pair it with than this windowpane skirt from Madewell. It has a trendy, yet classic feel to it! (Windowpane prints are literally everywhere this year!) Since Thanksgiving day consists of a lot of standing (for my family at least) I like to wear shoes that I know I will be comfortable in, so I will be wearing my tried and true Tory Burch Reva Flats. Throw on this adorable Coach cross-body bag to hold any Thanksgiving Day essentials and you have one perfect outfit!
Don't be overwhelmed by all the Christmas store fronts, I know at SouthPark you will find the perfect Thanksgiving outfit!
You can pick up the above pieces at Madewell, Coach, Tory Burch, and Lucky.

Fall Must Haves
Posted Nov 1 // Emily Helm
A striped dress is a basic for me, no matter what time of year, but for fall especially. It is so easy to throw on and add a printed scarf or a denim jacket over it for a perfect fall look.
The wide brimmed hat has been seen everywhere (and on everyone) this fall. I have yet to try this look, but it seems like a must for fall! There is something so chic about adding a wide brimmed hat to your outfit to complete the look.
Graphic sweatshirts might be my new favorite thing. Combining comfort and style, what could be better? I have seen graphic sweatshirts everywhere from Forever21 to Neiman Marcus. There is certainly one that fits your individual style at SouthPark.
The riding boot is a classic fall piece that I am always wearing once fall is in the air. I love that they can be paired with skirts and dresses or put on over a pair of leggings and paired with an oversized sweater. I am dying to try the over-the-knee boot trend this fall.
Leather pants and leggings are one of my weaknesses. I love pairing something as edgy as leather with something feminine, like a flowy top. That combination just oozes perfection to me. There are so many ways to style leather pants…definitely take the risk and try them out, you won't be sorry!
Bright red lipstick will definitely make a statement this fall. Whether you're wearing it with a leather jacket and a t-shirt or dressing up your LBD with bright red lips, it will definitely add to your overall look. Jungle Red by NARS is the perfect bright red color if you are in the market.
What are your fall must-have items?
Color Crush: Burgundy
Posted Nov 7 // Emily Helm
Every fall I seem to "fall" into a pattern of buying a certain color. For the past few seasons it has been black, but this year that color is burgundy. I cannot get enough of it. Whether I am adding small hints of burgundy to my outfit (hello Starbucks holiday cup!) or adding a bold statement with burgundy, it has certainly found its way into my wardrobe. If you are looking to add a bit of burgundy to your life this year, here are some great options! All of these pieces are available to purchase at SouthPark Mall!
1. This Gap carry-all leather tote is the perfect way to carry all your necessary items at once, while adding a fun color to your outfit (bonus: it goes with everything!)
2. Madewell can do no wrong in my eyes, so when I stumbled upon this burgundy dress with a leather peter pan collar it was love at first sight. The combination of burgundy and leather really speaks for itself.
3. When I go out or when I am spending the day running errands I want a light purse that isn't going to get in the way and this Coach bag fits the bill! The color and the tassel are so feminine.
4. In the fall I pretty much live in scarves, whether I use them for warmth or an accessory! This burgundy scarf from Nordstrom would the the perfect pop of color to an all black outfit.
5. Dark nails are a must for fall, in my opinion. Butter London's Fiddlesticks is the perfect burgundy color. Add a glitter nail and you have fabulous holiday nails in minutes!
6. Don't want to get too crazy with color? Add a burgundy chevron phone cover from Vineyard Vines to your phone for that burst of color.
7. The Starbucks holiday red cups are always appropriate for fall!
8. Every year I love seeing the different beads Pandora comes out with for the holiday season. They have added a plethora of burgundy beads that would be perfect to add to your daughter, mother's or grandmother's bracelet! (or maybe for yourself...shh, I won't tell!)
9. A dark lipstick can make such a statement. MAC's Viva Glam 1 is a great darker shade for fall and winter. Don't be afraid to try such a dramatic color- I haven't seen anyone yet that it didn't look great on!
10. Since fall has been deemed sweater season, it is all too fitting to have a comfy oversized sweater (in burgundy!) from Anthropologie. Just seeing the photo of this sweater has me feeling warm on the inside!
What is your go-to color of the season?

Trends to Try: Shooties
Posted Sep 28 // Jennifer Brix
(celebrities like Fergie love shooties)
Harem pants. Feather accessories. Mullet dresses. Are you sensing a pattern? Yes, though these trends of yesteryear were once everywhere, each one has quickly disappeared from the racks at your favorite store (and from your wardrobe).
Shooties, on the other hand, have proved that they are indeed here to stay.
After buying my first pair of shooties during my freshman year of college in 2008, I could not have imagined that the footwear trend would remain a cold weather staple for years to come.
A shootie is not only the perfect blend of an ankle boot and a shoe, but you can dress them up or down and rock them with virtually any fall trend. So if you're looking for an alternative to your favorite pair of pumps this fall, I highly recommend you buy a pair!
Check out three of my favorite shooties at the moment below.
Rock on this fall with these 'Matej' shooties from Aldo.
Equal parts sexy and sassy, the Steve Madden 'Chella' shootie pump is guaranteed to turn heads. Shop the look now at Nordstrom!
Paint the town red in these Jessica Simpson "Aniece" shooties, for sale at Macy's.
These styles and more are available right now at SouthPark. Happy shopping!
A September to Remember: 5 Must-Have Items for Fall
Posted Sep 25 // Jennifer Brix

While summertime is great for outdoor fun, the sweltering heat often prevents us from truly showcasing our personal style. Instead, we are limited to sundresses, shorts, swimsuits and other forms of scant attire.
On the other hand, the fall season presents a great opportunity to demonstrate your fashion sense. Whether you choose to wear old favorites stashed away in your closet, layer basics or try out a new trend, you can easily make it a September to remember with fall fashion.
So what are the must-have staples this season? As an avid shopper my list is rather lengthy, but here are the five items at the top of my list.
1) A bold blazer – This is an item that is universally flattering and a complement to any outfit. Though a black blazer is classic, I recommend mixing it up with a bold color or print, such as the Trouvé Open Front Blazer from Nordstrom.
2) Boots – While many people believe riding boots are the footwear of the moment, I have to disagree. My favorite type of boot for fall is the over-the-knee style. Though others prefer Uggs, cowboy boots or combat boots, I can't get enough of sky-high boots! I'm definitely loving these Sergio Rossi Kalika Knee High Leather Boots.
3) An infinity scarf – Remember when the scarf-around-your-neck trend came onto the scene? I know I sure do, because I never dared to try it (I didn't know how to wrap/tie/fold my scarf properly). Thankfully, infinity scarves make the chic look simple. Check out the assortment of infinity scarves at Express.
4) Leather – I've written about my affinity for leather already (click here), but I have to reaffirm how much of a necessity the fabric is for fall. Pleather is a wallet-friendly, animal-friendly alternative.
5) A pair of black leggings – Simply because they're practical, comfy and literally go with everything. If you want a replacement for your pair of basic cotton leggings, browse the impressive collection from American Apparel.

The "Bra Fitting Experts" Offer More Selection to SouthPark Shoppers
I.C. London has found a new home at SouthPark, North Carolina's premier shopping destination. Charlotte-area shoppers can now satisfy all their lingerie and fine sleepwear needs in the retailer's new 1,262-square-foot location. I.C. London opened its doors to Charlotte in early October at The Village.
Known for providing the largest selection of bras in the Charlotte metro area, I.C. London offers women bra sizes ranging from A-M cup and band sizes of 30-46. Owner Shelly Domenech initially brought the family business to Charlotte and opened the first I.C. London location in Historic Dilworth. She later expanded and opened a second store in Ballantyne.
Domenech's selection and customer base has since grown exponentially, and with the growth came a need for a new location that is better able to serve shoppers. She is thrilled to continue providing expert bra fitting services and beautiful lingerie, sleepwear, shapewear and loungewear in sizes XS-3XL to the women of Charlotte. Shoppers will enjoy exceptional customer service, exclusive brands and a selection of styles at the new store at The Village.

New Robot Virtual World: Operation Reset!
The Robot Virtual World team is thrilled to announce their latest level pack: Robots to the Rescue – Operation Reset.
Robots to the Rescue – Operation Reset is the third version of our virtual world set in a crystal mining colony on Planet H99. An intergalactic storm has knocked out all of the systems in the colony, and it's up to you to program the colony's robots to restore power to Communication Towers, collect the Unobtanium energy crystals, and refuel the rocket. In game testing, some of the things middle and high school kids said were "It's fun!", "It's like a video game!", "I like that I get to see my code work immediately.", and "I like the story behind the missions.".
Operation Reset represents several months of hard work on new features and huge improvements to the Robot Virtual World technology. Here's sneak peak of some of them:
Updated robot models with attachments:
Programmers will enjoy more interactivity with the world than ever before. Our Mammalbot (right) and Buggybot (left) robots are both included, and each have a Gripper and Vacuum attachment for delivering fuel barrels and collecting Unobtanium fuel crystals.
In-Game Tutorials:
When starting the first set of missions, players are presented with slideshow-style tutorials that explain the mission ahead and direct them to sample ROBOTC code they can use. All of the missions are designed to be solvable using either Standard ROBOTC or the Natural Language, so new and experienced programmers alike will enjoy solving the them.
Multiple Starting Points and Remote Control Zones
As players recharge the Communication Towers in the colony, they will unlock additional Mission Insertion points in the world. These insertion points allow the programmer to have consistent starting points as they write code to solve missions. Also, when a Communication Tower is recharged, direct robot control (using keyboard keys) in the nearby zone is unlocked, allowing you to remotely control the robot's movements. Insertion points and remote control zones are displayed using the in-game Dashboard, which updates to reflect player progress.
Advanced User Interface
The brand new user interface conveys tons of information while taking up a minimal amount of screen space. As players complete missions, the "bubbles" corresponding to Communication Towers, Unobtanium Crystals and Fuel Barrels will be colored in. You can also switch between the Vacuum and Gripper attachments on the robot, change starting locations, and view recent in-game messages.
New Interactive Game Elements
As the robot travels through the mining colony, it will interact with new Bi-Directional Boost Pads (top) and Robot Lifts (bottom). Both elements will re-situate the robot in the world, providing consistency each time you run your code.
CS2N Achievements
When the robot completes missions or interacts with different in-game elements, the programmer will be rewarded with achievements. Users can create a Local account or use their CS2N account to track their progress and view their achievements. If you don't already have a CS2N account, you create one for free, here: https://www.cs2n.org/signup
Gameplay Media and Support Material at RobotVirtualWorlds.com
We really want to make sure you know all of the support material that has been created to go along with Operation Reset. We've generated Getting Started Guides, Lesson Plans, and Programming Rubrics that will help you use the Robot Virtual World software in the classroom. The full set of materials can be found at http://www.robotvirtualworlds.com/ under Getting Started. Check out the site to find Gameplay videos, Mission Overview videos, World Maps, and more!

We value your feedback! Post any thoughts or ideas you have about Operation Reset at the ROBOTC.net forums.
Using Operation Reset requires a ROBOTC 3.x license. If you're still using ROBOTC 2.x, check out our special promotional pricing available through the end of the year.

The Conversation
Holeshot line is getting more ridiculous! I have mixed feelings on this track.
Sand whoops could be a line line joke again..If they keep it prepped who knows!! Water the hell out of it!
I agree Glock, I just hope the racing improves so we can see some actual battles instead of follow the leader. Hopefully this dirt is SX worhy.
dirt wurx........WTF!!!!!
I think this track looks better than the past two...With the history of great races ATL has had in the past, I think we may have another good race...Couple tight sections like the 2011 track and we all remember that one.....Making that left after going back up the start straight will be interesting...i see some front wheel real wheel tap that ass action there......
* front wheel rear wheel tap that ass action there....
the rythym section after the tight left hander /start straight re-entry looks to be possibly an area of differnt options....double, triple...quad???
It looks better but they still have staights were they only touch once or twice sorry that's to easy. I think they should have a wide woop section with a sweeping turn with 30+ woops in it that will bring lap times up and create a great passing zone for the best riders. Just my 2cents
Let me add to that woop section and a wall in the middle.
At least lets have lap times in the 50's!! is that to much to ask??
BillC it will be in the 50's for the mini's
Bring back Charlotte with 1.30 lap times .. Need big outdoor SX tracks...LOL!
8 whoops...be still, my heart. Here is a hint, as long as you keep doing the same thing, you'll keep getting the same racing. I shutter to think of a section of 12 whoops into a 180, into another section of 12 whoops. That would be literally insane....and by that I mean, just like STL 2004. More whoops, less flat tracking = closer racing.
Get rid of dirt wurx. Haven't they figured out their designs suck by now???
Is there only one triple on the track? Looks like a mini bike track to me.
If the soil is loose at this track, it will be very one-lined. Anyone that has raced knows that if the soil is loose/soft/plowed deep, one line gets packed in and thats the good line. No one wants to get in the loose stuff. Thats why they don't use sandy/loamy dirt for SX. It also makes the whoops and jumps break down. At least it will be a change from the hard adobe and clay soil like the first 7 tracks that were slick as ice. One bad track this year could be forgiven but Dirt Wurx has developed a pattern of bad tracks. Its all about dirt selection and design.
Where is the over/under bridge?
I know were the hackers are
Unit 61398
It's Racer X
I just hope it's substantially longer than last week's 45 second lap time, which equals about a 15 minute main event. I hate to brag, but I've had sex that's lasted almost that long.
The green arrow had about a 60-second lap time, but I think the real guys will be getting through the corners faster. Let's hope the jumps are actually as big as the track map this week.
Do you mean 45 seconds or 15 minutes?
Another easy track for the pros.. seriously! This is 2013! The tracks should be way harder and way more technical! It would make it way more exciting and get way more publicity! It should be something only the best of the best could do not something a c class rider could do! Come on get with the times people! This is suppose to be supercross the toughest sport on earth! Go back to 2005 when rc was racing the tracks were way more technical! Supercross is going soft on the riders we need some new track designers to step in and give them a track worthy of supercross!
I just saw some races from back in the 80's and the tracks were much much better.
Whats up with dirt wurx, are they afraid of whoops, they have noooooo imagination. bring any guy from a local track to do the tracks and I bet they would be better.
I've been saying this for a while but Dirtwurx is killing he sport. How can we have 12 completely different tracks outdoors by region but one dimensional tracks indoors for 17 rounds? It's virtually the same track week after week with the same obstacles in different lanes. Each year the whoops get smaller and shorter. The bikes are faster but Dirtwurx doesn't do anything to slow them down but make more smaller obstacles.
Yeah, I'd say a track with a 44 to 45 second lap time is way too short. If I pay for a ticket I better see a 55 second to minute lap time. And wtf with all the 90 degree corners. Alle you see is one blue grooved line all day and night in them. These short tracks and all these 90 degree corners equal NO racing. Most of the time the case is that where you start is where you finish. And all kinds of stupid stuff out of the holeshot and second corners. Feld and dirtwurx need to pull their heads out of there you know what, and put there heads together for something decent, and utilize the freaking floor space.
Track just doesn't seem right, most of them haven't for a while. What happened to dragonbacks up leading into a whoop section?....over/under bridges?.....sand sections that are actually a full straight away long? How about a finish line that could actually have a 2/3 guy wide drag race to the line possible? This finish is lame, single file to the checkers, how exciting...
I'm wondering if the track builders are totally to blame. Seems like it might the bikes, 4strokes make so much power that allows almost all riders to jump everything and run the same lines. They're the great equallizer, before 2strokes wree used to their limit and riders had to be creative with lines which made rider input and skill more important to the outcome of the race.
I wish feld would adjust the number of laps in the main so that it's at least 20 mins. If lap times are at 45 secs then the main should be about 26 laps. As long as they announced how many laps the main was going to be, I'm sure we simpleton race fans could still know what's going on ( sarcasm intended). Also 45-90 degree turns almost always forces a rider to drop in directly behind the rider front. It seems to me anymore that it takes 3 or 4 non one-lined sections consecutively to make for good passing. By non one-lined sections I mean whoops, rhythm, straights, sand, 180's... I know it's easy to critique from a keyboard, but let's start thinking outside the box guys........
why not a small jump mid turn in the 180's. How about some tractor tires to jump up on. Lets bring back some 1 minute lap times, gives the riders who don't get the best start a chance to finish higher up. The 450's should go 20 minutes plus 2 laps and the 250's 15 plus 2 laps. why the short races, especially with no semi's anymore.
Everyone immediately blames DirtWurx for everything when the racing sucks or the dirt sucks. Did no one know that the promoter (FELD) has last say on everything!! Did no one think the whoops are small because DirtWurx was TOLD to make them small?? Or they can't build big berms because they will block seats for fans or sponsors logos for tv shots. I would Bet that DirtWurx wants the same thing everyone wants GREAT racing, they are just as big of fans of the sport as we are!! So before you judge them think about all the people in the front office that make the REAL CALLS!!!
The tracks SUCK. The racing SUCKS. SX is a 3 hour commercial with 48 minutes of actual racing. What would happen to nascar if they ran 79 laps of racing in a 3 hour show?
20 min plus two in the main. Got to stop these 15 min mains. Don't want death traps out there but they have to make sections that are not going to be follow the leader. 8 whoops is a joke. you can make a mistake and still not get passed. Need alternate line sections. Not triple double turn. You can slow it down and make it harder. High insides low outsides and alternate. Let the cream rise to the top instead of following and doing a block pass on a 180. The last 3 rounds make me want the outdoors more than ever
Bring back the 80's/90's style with vertical walls breaking up rhythm lanes. I remember when the whoop sections were called stadium whoops because they were three feet deep and cupped out. Those were real obstacles and would keep lap times down and the competition up. Look at this way has there been a full 20 lap battle this year? Not even close, if the bikes are so evenly matched then the top five should be battling it out lap after lap. The tracks are so one lined that its just follow the leader. Let's bring the racing back Feld, Dirtwurx, AMA, and anyone else making decisions that actually let's me get my $60 seat's worth.
Ive been preaching the commercial side vs. racing side for ever, some where along the line someone thought that we wanted to see 250 six lap heat races and 8 lap 450 heat races, and 4 lap LCQs. Emig had to take a dig at stewart about his dad being down there, who knows there son better than there dad, unpresidented at the factory leval, then stewart goes out get one of his best start and throws it down and makes it look easy with villo, canard, reed, brayton. Why would they add longer and bigger whoop sections and give stewart an advantage, if hes gonna pass thats were he makes it happen. Emig knows so much and know what every rider sould be doing, hes got a chip on his shouder must be all those second place finishes. I think ATL is going to be Stewarts night, it would be cool to see em throw some wrenches in the points. ITs going to be to see Tomac this week. DIrty South.
I think dirt wurx does an overall great job but I've also felt like they are making the tracks too easy trying to accommodate the privateers too much. At Dallas a lot of people were struggling in the whoops during practice, especially the higher digit 250 guys. But when we came back in for the night program you could see that they had gone through and redone the whoops and sure enough once the heats started everyone was now blitzing them like they were a piece of cake. This isn't anything new - I saw the same situation play out at A1 with the sand/wall section. I guess they feel like they are making the track safer but I think all they do is make for more boring racing because they eliminate sections that separate the men from the boys.
250s = 20 mins + 2 laps, 450s = 30 mins + 2 laps. Long, long long whoops, longer sand sections, much more 180s and tehnical stuff overall and in corners. How about much much softer tracks. Hard pack really sucks and is not safe for our heroes. Put in a cool flat track style turn after the straight rather than a bank. Let throttle control and riding ability dominate rather than point and shoot off the wall.
Tickets are $$$$$. We want longer main events.
The whoops are where its at. When Partridge can wheelie all the way through the whoop sections, you know they aren't long enough. They don't have to be ultra deep whoops, you just need 12-14 of them. And preferably another equally long section somewhere else. That will bring the competition closer.
As much as I like the JS7, RV1 and DM18 have too much confidence to drop the top spots now!!!

History of the Diana Camera
Originally the Diana camera was made in the 1960s at a small firm in Hong Kong. It was made entirely out of plastic and cost about a dollar. It failed in the market and was discontinued in the 1970s, which of course boosted its status to collector's item. This model is based on the original and recreated in 2007.

Haring: Improving special ed services
PRINCETON — Princeton High School is considering establishing its own special education cooperative as a way to improve services to its students.
At Wednesday's meeting of the PHS Board, Superintendent Kirk Haring said the new special education cooperative would also include the Princeton Elementary School District and possibly the Malden Grade School District, which feeds into the PHS District. Currently, PHS is one of 15 members of the Bureau-Marshall-Putnam Special Education Cooperative.
Haring said there have been some concerns with the BMP cooperative. At this point, he anticipates coming back to the board in the near future with a recommendation to form a new special education cooperative, he said.

I didn't notice it before , actually many product still come with VGA port, many ivy bridge board still have VGA with DVI and HDMI (or even Displayport), and many screen still has them too for some reason BTW, this ASUS card looks ugly ..
It wasn't till this generation of GPUs did I start to see a bit of subjective likes with a silicon board. Sure I've had some cool looking stuff in the computer but nothing really looked cool. I guess the only peice that always fancied my eyes was cool looking Air Coolers. But anyways it was because of the GTX 690 that have opened my eyes up to how awesome some stuff looks. Also a reason why I purchased one. As for the rest I love how the reference 7970 looks like 50s cars, and as for non reference partner Asus Seems to have it locked down for me with their Matrix/MARS series. Thinking about buying that one just because it looks good...But god damnit Asus, stop it. Stop it with the need for three slots. Stop It. EDIT: and the Devils 13 is pretty balls to walls hot looking
lol yup, that card is a monster tho. I like the looks, but in industry it's one of those top end beasts for real time blue screen work. I think it commands a price tag that would make most grown men weep a little, Added to that it uses EEC ram..... Don't think one will be going in my rig any time. Ever. If they did cards with that style of heatsink over the current make it look big and plastic style ones I think I would be a happier man. Some of these big shrouds in attempting to make the card look more masculine, just end up on the side if ridiculous. It reminds me a lot of the small car modification scene in the uk. You take a car everyone knows as a budget run around, add a sports body kit and a big bore exhaust and pretend your in a racing car.... lol. From this.... To this.... Draw any parallels?
Wow, I think this one has to top the lot! Two cards sandwiched together, four slots two physical mobo connectors and lots of output connectors with many BNCs. Damn...
Isn't one of them just a really fancy daughterboard? It would explain the lack of a "big and masculine" shroud common on other high-end cards. But I really like how the picture puts the cards together. It makes the Quadro 6000 look like a car with the BNC connectors acting as exhaust pipes. Speaking of BNC connectors, I know they were common on high-end/professional/workstation/really fancy CRTs but I haven't really seen them on LCDs.
I've never seen an LCD monitor with BNC connectors, either and I don't think that any were made. BNC was for the analog CRT era.
BNC's are still industry standard, Not for standard displays that's what the HDMI and DVI outputs are for. But for real time Video capture from high end cameras, linked off to Professional multi display outputs. There even more important when your wanting to tweak the image on the fly since you already have the image in it's separate colours. And you can see any tweaks per channel live without adding digital delay all it needs is a variable strength filter in line. On a more grounded level BNC is used a lot in CCTV, since you can tap the feed to a live monitor, while still sending signal to be captured. Something I don't believe HDMI can do since the digital suffers from amplification. This means the image you see on the monitor is a real time as possible with limited hardware lag. Here's a link to a BNC LED monitor. http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=bnc+display&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=EIV&rls=org.mozilla:en-GBfficial&prmd=imvns&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bpcl=37189454&biw=1680&bih=986&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=284697941660742658&sa=X&ei=z_WWUOuiLMrA0QWvvID4DQ&ved=0CH8Q8wIwCQ Here's a rather nice picture of a switching unit to switch between feeds for live or recorded programming. Note this can only switch between 8 sources. And all of those sources could be live!! Nope the back card is a video in decoder, The middle one is obvious, And the front card is a video out. It's like graphics card porn
lol at the anus part (it's long ago but still) btw couldn't find any pick but there was a video on motherboards about this xfx small card size of his hand or something.
Video in?! I miss the VIVO days. Now I have to get a TV Tuner card if I want to hook up my consoles to my computer for easy image capturing (and easy connection to monitor; no need for an adapter!). Stupid Hollywood and their stupid HDCP.
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b655/HIS_HD_7970_X2_IceQ_X².html for some reason I really like the way this one looks
I really enjoyed the box-like structure of the G80/G92 NV cards, and some of the ATI cards with the copper zalman fans:

After the Fire, a Still Small Voice: Summary and book reviews of After the Fire, a Still Small Voice by Evie Wyld
Evie Wyld's impressive first novel employs the harsh and often dangerous Australian environment as a setting for the loneliness and devastation that can ruin a man's life after he returns from war... When I finished the story I was left with scenes of jungles, death, loss and sorrow, but also vivid vignettes of young men discovering their sexuality, forming connections with friends, and finding peace of mind through creativity.

This is the third installment of "Eat This List" - a regularly recurring list of things chefs, farmers, writers and other food experts think you ought to know about.
Yesterday, I was happily slurping away at my noodle and bok choy soup, when suddenly I felt it: sand rasping against my molars. I pushed the bowl away and swished my mouth out with a few tall glasses of water, but I was haunted by phantom gravel for the rest of the day.
Yes, there are far more pressing issues in the world than a little bit of foreign matter in my food, but we've all got our issues. When a restaurant can't take the time to properly rinse its greens, I can't help but wonder what else they're skimping on. I have an intense and visceral reaction to the feeling of grit in my food and if I do happen to return to a restaurant where that happened, I find myself bracing before each bite. It's mostly easier for me not to return.
Was I too easily aggrieved? I turned to Twitter to ask people what might cause them to cross a restaurant off their list. The answers came in fast and furious from food writers, chefs, servers and diners alike.
@kittenwithawhip: I can forgive an awful lot of cooking flaws. Gritty food, however, is something that might make me not return to a restaurant. Your turnoff?
Here are a few of the most frequently mentioned or just plain nasty restaurant turnoffs:
1. Butt out!
@ChefChrisCody: "A dirty restaurant: dirty ceiling fan, unkept restrooms, servers w/ any towels, notepads, or nething touching their butt."
Say what? The New Orleans chef clarified.
"You never see waitstaff hang towels or put things in their back pockets?...I have staged at some high end places where the chef wants you to hang your towels from your front or backside. Just watch.
2. Hairy situation
@loganpass: "Curly hair in my omelet. The restaurant has since been overhauled, but I feel like it's cursed."
@QueenCityCookie: "Hair always a bad sign"
The frequency of errant hair might be why planting it is a go-to trick of dirty-dealing diners looking to get their meals comped.
3. Beastly bathrooms
@JeeWPark: "A dirty restroom to me equals dirty kitchen."
@shilo101: "Dirty restrooms are the worst. if they don't keep it clean where customers CAN see, imagine what they can't. (Bourdain)"
@KatieBe_NC: "I have cut restaurants for dirty restrooms."
(And yet, that doesn't stop some people from going ahead and chowing down in a stall.)
4. He who smelt it...should get the heck out!
@ChristineMuhlke: "That dish-room smell (sad mats)."
@AmyTaraKoch: "Septic-like stench (paris), waitstaff eating/ chomping gum, bugs in water, dirty cutlery/ napkin"
5. Halt the salt! Or, conversely, don't be stingy
@dollopfinefoods: "UNDER seasoning combined with arrogant lack of good salt & pepper on table"
@RLStrickland: "Over-salting. If you can't nail salt, I have a lot of trouble trusting your palate."
