Most genres have several franchises that vie to be best in class, but with snowboarding games there is one indisputable king--SSX. Saturation caused players to turn the cold shoulder to extreme sports games last console generation, but now five years since its last release, can SSX thaw that sentiment for its high-def debut?
World tour represents the closest thing to a single-player campaign, but it keeps the exposition light. Team SSX is facing financial strife, and to make matters worse, one of its riders has defected. In order to raise funds, the team decides to live stream a race to conquer nine deadly descents. At just five hours in length, it works as a nice tutorial to prepare you for the extensive online offering, but it's low on frills.
Once you head online the game really cracks open in the explore and global events options. The explore mode lets you pan around the globe looking for records to topple that your friends have laid down. Jumping from one event to the next is seamless and quick, and once you establish a time your ghost will remain there for your friends to compete against. If you have several friends online at a time it's like playing whack-a-mole trying to keep your spots on the leader boards.
Global events can last anywhere from an hour to days as folks jump in and try to establish the best time or trick score before the timer expires. Up to 500 riders can compete, and unlike the explore option, you can play at the same time live with friends. There's just no real start or finish line. You can wait in the helicopter and drop in together, but there's still something lost without the option of standalone events. That said, the ability to compete in multiple global events at a time and jump around at will while leaving your ghost behind makes it very flexible and addicting. No one's going to miss sitting around in a lobby waiting for an event to start.
There are 10 riders and each of the 150 courses has scores of branching paths that settle into a nice risk/reward quotient. No matter what mode you're exploring you're awarded with points that you can use to unlock new riders or drops and to buy new gear that you equip before going out on each run. You're even given points when other players fail to beat your ghosts or miss geotags that you've hidden on a course.
There is an online pass, but you don't really need it to get the most out of the game as it's only necessary for banking your global event earnings. While the single-player option isn't very compelling, the online options more than make up for it. The improved take on AutoLog from the Need for Speed series keeps you consistently engaged and improving.
Anyone who has played prior SSX games will be able to jump right in and play well. There's even the option to use the old-school control scheme in lieu of the new dual-stick setup. It utilizes the same formula as well. Landing tricks gives you boost, which gives you the speed to pull off even better maneuvers that build even more boost. Combos are the name of the game, and it features some pretty intelligent assists to keep you going from one obstacle to the next--and from constantly wrapping your rider around a tree. Sometimes it takes over a little too much.
As you land tricks without bailing the tricky meter builds. Once it's full you can detach from the board and really throw down some sick tricks. If you continue to string together moves you'll enter super tricky and be able to rip off character-specific uber tricks. It's a tried-and-true formula that still works quite well and it's easy to grasp. The physics do a solid job of replicating the feeling of carving through powder or losing grip on ice and you can trick on any object in the game--even the helicopter provided you reach it.
The biggest addition to the gameplay is a third event type where you must simply survive. Each run comes with a condition to overcome. Ice, trees, oxygen deprivation, and many others necessitate the need for specific gear for your rider. Some, like the wingsuit, add a whole new angle to the game. Some are clever, like having to ride in the light to keep from freezing to death. And then there are pointless additions like the annoying pulse goggles. These deadly descents represent the bosses in the game and provide the most unique gameplay opportunities, but they're not especially difficult, and zap SSX of its all-out attitude.
Difficulty isn't SSX's forte. It's extremely generous both inside and outside of gameplay. Riders level up with use, and unlocking new slots for armor, suits, boards and gear is a little too generous. In the campaign you rarely have to finish first to proceed, and you're rewarded with so many points throughout the various modes that you run out of relevant things to spend them on. You have a rewind feature you can use several times in each event should you make a mistake, there are one-time use mods to boost stats, and minus the races that will introduce you to the slow restart times, there's not much resistance. It's just another convenient excuse to play online.
With games like SSX engine performance is essential, and it holds up its end of the bargain here. No matter what's happening on-screen or how high you soar, it never buckles. When you're really laying on the boost it has a fantastic sense of speed. Featuring a clean look, it's low on bells and whistles and doesn't really have a style to it, and pulling back on the angle helps you play better but doesn't do the graphical detail any favors. Trick animations are incredible, however, and the fantasy courses spread across the nine different mountain ranges manage to keep things varied. What exists of the story is told via ridiculous comic-inspired interludes, and brief cinemas that do little to motivate.
The audio is completely interactive as songs build and cascade with the action, and Run-DMC returns to lend their patented sample. The 30-plus licensed tracks are appropriate to the vibe of the game and feature some great up-and-coming artists. SSX doesn't feature especially impressive presentation, but it's scaled to facilitate silky smooth play.
SSX is a great snowboarding game that has its priorities in the right place. From the seamless online options that encourage you to compete to the graphics engine that ensures a level playing field, the entire game has been built to maximize play. The result is a game that's just flat-out fun. The more interesting moments tend to be fleeting and the single-player is anemic, but it's a great mix of old and new that will satisfy both fans of the series and first-time rippers.

9 things as good as McDonald's home delivery
- From: news.com.au
- December 09, 2013
IT IS the announcement that shocked Australia.
Macca's is trialling home delivery.
There was outrage among health freaks. There were fat kids celebrating on the street. No one knew how to feel as news of the decision leaked. Sunday morning hangovers suddenly looked bearable. Gyms rejoiced as the obesity crisis is tipped to hit a new level.
The trial is in western Sydney and began late last month, following the lead of many international cities.
Why stop at Maccas? Life would be a whole lot easier with these gems dropped off at your front door, any hour of the day.
Have your say

McDeliver of To me Posted at 1:13 PM December 09, 2013
Remember when KFC delivered? Back in the early 90s. Maccas has been doing 24/7 McDelivery for ages overseas. Bout time they did it here too. I work night shift in an emergency vet hospital. When your starving and can't leave the building and everyone's shut at 2am I can't think of anything better then a delivered double quarter pounder. I'm sick of health experts and their constant warnings. If I want to eat crap and be a walking whale that's my business

In Indonesia they have free delivery for orders above $3, yet they didn't have obesity problems (99 problems, but obesity ain't one). If this happens in Australia, I'm gonna order 10 soft serves delivered.

Judi Posted at 1:34 PM December 09, 2013
Well, KFC used to deliver at one time, & pizza & other things are delivered. It was only a matter of time before Macca's decided to deliver. I wonder what happens though, when you order a burger without mayo & they deliver it WITH mayo? Do they turn around & get you another one, or are you left with a nasty taste.

Anyone doing that kind of work at an animal or human hospital is fully entitled to get McD's delivered whenever they want! Asia has had McD's delivery scooters for years. And to all the Ra-Ra's ... highly fat pizzas has been delivered since the invention of the telephone.

When im shopping up a storm (not groceries) I want someone to look after my shopping bags, so I can go buy more and look around at clothes properly without holding 5 bags, then deliver them to my car on the way out of the shopping centre. We would buy more this way. Make it easier and more enjoyable to shop in shopping centres and make it more fun than online clothes shopping.

@I miss journalism: This place ozzes reddit re-runs I've suspected for a long time much of the staff are avid redditors. On topic, alcohol delivery a better idea than mcdonalds delivery...that is a top suggestion, cos when ya know, when you've had too much maccas you're brain says "Hey I am overly full, stop" if you drink to much your brain usually says, "hey I want more!". I understand this is a puff piece but suggesting that something like alcohol is a better idea for delivery than McDonalds is both ignorant and dangerous.

Martin of Sydney - Don't like it don't buy it? Well, when more and more Aussies are making bad health choices in their lives it means my taxes are going to pay for their hospital bills, centrelink payments and other ongoing costs. The one good thing to come from McDonalds drive through is there will be less litter on the streets from when Aussies far too often just throw rubbish out their car windows.

Introducing Alfredo, Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO for Java
- by Alejandro Abdelnur
- January 21, 2011
- 6 comments
What is Kerberos & SPNEGO?
Kerberos is an authentication protocol that provides mutual authentication and single sign-on capabilities.
SPNEGO is a plain text mechanism for negotiating authentication protocols between peers; one notable application of this is Kerberos authentication over HTTP.
What is Alfredo?
Alfredo is an Open Source Java library providing support for Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO authentication. By using Alfredo:
- Client applications can easily access HTTP resources protected with Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO
- Web applications can easily protect HTTP resources with Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO
Why Alfredo?
One of Cloudera's goals is to enable end-to-end security for anyone using Hadoop and other projects that work on top of Hadoop. Because these are Open Source Projects that are available under the Apache License, only software that has compatible license terms can be used with them.
We created Alfredo because we needed to add user authentication to Oozie. Since Hadoop already supports Kerberos authentication, adding support for Kerberos authentication to Oozie is an obvious choice. Oozie's API is HTTP based, making the use of Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO an obvious choice as well. A benefit to supporting Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO means that tools like curl and popular browsers (Firefox and Internet Explorer) will work with HTTP resources protected by Alfredo.
We couldn't find a Java library providing Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO support to integrate with Oozie client/server code that is Apache Licensed —which is a requirement for the entire CDH platform— therefore, the solution was to write the code ourselves.
Because Alfredo is a reusable component, other projects that have HTTP endpoints can also use it, such as the Hadoop web-console, HBase, and other Hadoop-based projects. Projects not related to Hadoop can also use Alfredo.
Implementing Alfredo
From an integration perspective, I wanted something as simple as an URL/HttpURLConnection helper for the client side and a Java Servlet Filter for the server side. This would allow existing Java client and server applications to support Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO with minimal changes.
To protect HTTP resources of a Java web application, Alfredo's AuthenticationFilter must be deployed in front of the HTTP resources. This filter requires some minimal configuration: specifically, the name of Kerberos principal for the service, and the keytab file where the credentials for the principal are stored.
To access the protected HTTP resources, you can use tools and applications like curl and Firefox with support for Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO.
To enable you to write a Java client application that accesses HTTP resources protected with Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO, Alfredo provides the AuthenticatedURL class. This class is a simple helper class that authenticates the user using the credentials from the OS Kerberos cache.
In addition, Alfredo can be extended to support other authentication mechanisms via a client interface. An implementation equivalent to Hadoop pseudo/simple is also provided with Alfredo.
We intentionally implemented Alfredo so that it does not depend on Hadoop or Oozie projects because we wanted to avoid unwanted transitive dependencies for other projects. Alfredo's AuthenticationFilter can easily be subclassed to obtain its configuration using the configuration mechanism of whatever project is using it.
Getting Alfredo
Alfredo is distributed with an Apache License 2.0.
The source code (including examples) is available at http://github.com/cloudera/alfredo
Documentation can be found at http://cloudera.github.com/alfredo
Alfredo is already available in Cloudera's Maven repository: https://repository.cloudera.com/content/repositories/releases:
- groupId: com.cloudera.alfredo
- artifactId: alfredo
- version: 0.1.3
- type: jar
Now that Alfredo is done, I will work on my original problem, adding support for Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO to Oozie. It should only take me about a couple of hours of coding.

From going through the website i am not able to get the following information..
1) Does Alfredo support kerberos protocol transition and constrained delegation?.
Appreciate a response.

Hi, this is a good work.
My question is that is there security configuration guidline for web console to Hadoop(CDH3u2) with kerberos ?

Why another implementation ?

10 Signs You Have a Scrapbooks for Sale Problem
10 Signs You Have a Scrapbooks for Sale Problem
Do people immediately assume you're working on a scrapbook at all times? This is just one of the signs that you have a scrapbooking addiction, which goes hand in hand with your scrapbooks for sale
10 signs you have a scrapbooking addition:
1. You can't say no once you see there are scrapbooks for sale. It doesn't matter what time of the year it is, whether you have three Christmas scrapbooks on the self, or a pile of photos sitting on top of your latest album. You can be in the middle of three scrapbooking projects and still find a reason to start a third.
2. People come up to you and ask about your latest big deal on scrapbooks for sale or the project that you're working on, rather than anything else happening in your life.
3. You don't have the time to scrapbook, but you're going to prepare with scrapbooks and supplies "just in case."
4. As soon as a new engagement is announced, everybody assumes you'll be handling the new couple's
wedding scrapbook
… and the eventual
baby scrapbook
as well.
5. Your go-to gift for every holiday, birthday and anniversary is a scrapbook. As soon as you realize one's approaching, you find scrapbooks for sale, head to the photo printer and start working on a scrapbook gift!
6. Your solution for a last minute gift is always a blank scrapbook. You'll throw together a scrapbook and some accessories into a basket or bag for an instant gift – for any occasion.
7. You look at every photo thinking, "How am I going to scrapbook this? What backgrounds can I put with this photo?"
8. You don't have a craft table, but an entire scrapbooking room in your house.
9. You have more empty scrapbooks than you do upcoming projects. Rather than finding more scrapbooks for sale, it's time to find photos and scrapbooking accessories to go with all of your very nice scrapbooks.
10. Finally, the biggest sign that you have a scrapbooking addiction is that you're ALWAYS looking for more
scrapbooks for sale.
If you're ailing from a scrapbooking addition, don't worry, we have the cure. Get all your scrapbooking fixes here at StorePhotos.com. You'll find
scrapbooks for sale

Large Carroll County Largemouth
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Carroll County Farm Pond
I love fishing with my grandfather. He has done a lot in his lifetime and is a joy to be around. I decided to take him fishing at my friends farm pond in Carroll County Saturday morning. I made the declaration that I would either get him onto a large catfish or a huge Largemouth Bass. Needless to say here it is, he caught this beauty on a bobber with a nightcrawler; call him old-fashioned. Great day fishing as always. We caught tons of bass and sunfish but here is the standout winner. I didn't have a tape or scale with me so who knows but my best guess is that it was around 6-7 lbs. I could fit my whole fist in its mouth with some wiggle room.

Would You Rather Wednesday: Runny Nose or Cheetos Hands?
Welcome back in to another edition of "Would You Rather Wednesday." After all the rain here in West Central Missouri, everything is so green and in bloom. While it's nice to have the warm weather, it also means many people are constantly fighting off their allergies. Personally my allergies are not too bad, but I still need to keep tissues near by. You hate to be the person with a runny nose because while it annoys you, it also annoys the people around you. People get annoyed by the person who sniffles all day at work. You just want to yell at them to blow their nose!
Can Tap Water Give You Allergies?
Clean water is something many of us take for granted, but a troubling new study suggests that pesticides in tap water may be responsible for a recent increase in food allergies.

Is your name written in the Lamb's book of Life?
The Christian Doctrine of Election
There is a record written in heaven and kept by God with the names of every person chosen by God to be saved. That book is called "The Lamb's Book of Life". Why is it called the Lamb's book of life and when were the names listed in that book written there? These are two good questions. To the first question, I answer that this book is called "The Lamb's Book of Life" because it belongs to Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, and it was because of His work on the cross that those whose names are recorded in this book are completely forgiven for their sins. The Apostle John says concerning Him, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world [God's chosen people] (John 1:44).
In the Old Testament sacrificial system, there were two goats which were used for sacrificing on the sacred Day of Atonement which occurred once a year. One goat was used as a sacrifice to God in order to propitiate His wrath and anger against the sins of God's elect people. When God saw the blood of that goat sprinkled on the mercy-seat which was situated on top of the Ark of the Covenant in the Most Holy Place in the temple, His wrath was fully satisfied . The other goat, called the scapegoat was waiting outside with the people and when the High Priest came out of the temple, he placed his hand upon the second goat and confessed the sins of God's people. That second goat was then released into the woods symbolizing the carrying away of the sins of God's elect. Well, these two goats looked forward to one person, Jesus, the Lamb of God. He carried away the sins of God's elect people, those who names are written in the Book of Life.
Now, I will answer the second question, "When were these names written in the Book of Life?" Many would answer this question by saying that a person's name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life when a person is born again by the Spirit of God. In other words, man the sinner determines whether or not he makes the list. It sounds great, but this is not what the Bible teaches! God is sovereign and He determines the names that are written in the Book of Life. As a matter of fact, the Scriptures teaches that the names were placed in that book even before the universe was created. Revelation 13: 7-8 says "It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain." Furthermore, Revelation 17:8 states, "The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come."
How do you know if God has written your name in the Lamb's Book of Life? These questions should help you to determine if he has:
- Have you been regenerated (born again) by the Holy Spirit?
- Are you being sanctified by the Holy Spirit daily?
- Are you demonstrating the good works of the Christian life?
- Are you a new creature in Christ?
- Is Jesus Christ your Lord?
- Do you have a hatred for sin?
- Do you have a love for righteousness?
We must remember that whose names were written in the Book of Life first signifying the fact that we have been chosen by God in eternity past. Every person who names is written in the Book of life will experience true salvation. We must avoid the misconception that we get our names put into the Book of Life when we make a decision to receive Jesus Christ. GOD IS SOVEREIGN, AND MAN THE SINNER IS NOT!

Biology at KWC
The Biology program at Kentucky Wesleyan College provides undergraduate programs in the biological sciences within the framework of a liberal arts education. We expect our majors to become well-rounded biologists and zoologists, but we also expect them to identify areas of special interest in preparation for post-graduate opportunities. With these objectives in mind, the KWC Biology program offers two options for baccalaureate degree majors.- The B.S. degree in biology - primarily for pre-health career students and those pursuing graduate degree programs;- The B.A. degree in biology - an option for those unsure of their plans after graduation, this degree requires intermediate foreign language competency, and also meets teaching certification requirements;The majority of KWC's biology graduates pursue the B.S. degree and seek admission to medical, dental, pharmacy, physical therapy, physician assistant, optometry, or veterinary school. Many of the undergraduate courses required by these schools are included in the B.S. degree curriculum. In addition, the curriculum is designed to include course work that will prepare the student for admission examinations such as the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), Dental Admissions Test (DAT), etc. Student success at gaining admission is also a function of earning a competitive G.P.A.All biology majors are encouraged to complete an independent laboratory, field or library research project. Students can participate in a summer research program or carry out directed student research during their junior or senior year. Presentation of their project can be during BIO/ZOO 4114 Senior Seminar.
Additional information, degree requirements, suggested four-year plan, and course descriptions are located in the KWC Bulletin (Catalog). Please click here and then access the degree or program via the bookmarks on the left of the page.

Analytical Writing for Science and Technology
Copyright © 1996 by T. M. Georges.
Lesson 13
The Dependent Clause -- A Natural Way to Write Analytically
In this Lesson:
- What's a dependent clause, anyway?
- How they amplify, explain, and analyze
- Find the dependent clauses
- Defining relations among ideas
- The enemy: prepositional phrases
- Avoid strings of adjectives
In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a powerful tool for analyzing the details you have to write about. It's called the dependent clause. Don't worry about the formidable name -- it's just the same way you use to describe relations between ideas in ordinary conversation.
First, let's make sure you know how to recognize a dependent clause when you see one. Here are some examples of sentences with dependent clauses in them. The dependent clauses are in boldface.
The project was not completed on time, because the machine parts were stolen.
If at first you don't succeed, try something else.
A helium nucleus has two protons, whereas hydrogen has only one.
Although Klingon battle cruisers are not very maneuverable, they can make themselves invisible.
Where were you when President Kennedy was assassinated?
Energy supplies will dwindle, unless we conserve.
Notice how each dependent clause can't stand by itself, even though it has a subject and a verb of its own. Instead, in some way it amplifies or qualifies the statement in the main part of each sentence. The first boldface word in each case is the key. It goes by the horrible name of subordinating conjunction, but don't worry about that.
Dependent clauses can also begin with relative pronouns, as in these examples:
Where are the parts that I ordered?
The uranium nucleus, which contains 92 protons, is unstable.
Most people don't know who their senators are.
What the aerospace industry needs now is more friends in Congress.
You don't need to worry about the grammatical terminology -- you just need to understand how dependent clauses qualify, limit, expand and explain detail -- how they highlight the important and suppress the incidental. And that's what Analytical Writing is all about.
All you really have to remember are these surprisingly short tables of words for linking ideas and showing how they are related:
These are the good guys! If you start using these words to introduce dependent clauses, I guarantee that your writing will improve. Copy this list and keep it in front of you during your writing assignments. Make a conscious effort to use words from this list to relate and amplify your ideas.
In the following examples, underline the dependent clauses and circle the subordinating conjunctions. If you can, write down also the function of each clause in the sentence (for example, does it function like a noun, and adjective or an adverb, and is it the subject, object or a modifier in the sentence?) If you can't, it doesn't matter.I want you to remember how you tuned the transmitter.
The reaction took longer than he expected.
If I have time, I will buy the dynamite.
We found the parts that you ordered, but they were radioactive.
Chamberlain defied the pessimists who predicted that he would fail.
We searched the spot where I lost the bagels.
Employees who work hard will receive a gold star.
Michelson said that he knew why the experiment burst into flames.
That the cast-iron airplane would fly was doubtful.
There are many ways to combine related ideas. The best ways are the ones that precisely define relations among ideas, by explaining, contrasting, limiting and expanding. Consider the string of ideas in these isolated sentences:Eunice set fire to the cat.
The cat jumped into the pool.
The cat could not swim.
Rodney rescued the cat.
You could combine the ideas, linking them with semicolons:Eunice set fire to the cat; the cat jumped into the pool; the cat could not swim; Rodney rescued the cat.
Or you could combine them as independent clauses, using only and:Eunice set fire to the cat, and the cat jumped into the pool, and the cat could not swim, and Rodney rescued the cat.
Using but and so clarifies the relations a bit more:Eunice set fire to the cat, and he jumped into the pool, but the cat could not swim, so Rodney rescued him.
Finally, dependent clauses make things even more vivid:After Eunice set fire to the cat, he jumped into the pool, but because he couldn't swim, Rodney rescued him.
Do you see the difference between simply listing the four ideas and linking them together with words that define precisely how they are related?
Practice forming dependent clauses by combining each of the following sets of isolated ideas into one sentence. Use the subordinating conjunctions from the above list (or make up ones of your own) that best describe the probable relations among the ideas.
The airplane landed. We got off. We discovered we were not in Pittsburgh. We were in Havana.
The program was written in FORTRAN. It is longer than a machine-language version. It can run on many different computers.
Computer maintenance costs kept increasing. Georgette complained about peanut butter on the diskettes. Mr. Figby banned food from the computer room.
Doppler radars measure radial velocities. A conventional radar cannot. Doppler radars are useful for remote sensing.
The goat ate Bertha's leotards. Bertha couldn't perform in the comapany ballet. Bertha went to the movies instead.
The operating manual contains some simple maintenance procedures. We urge you to call a service man for repairs. Unauthorized service may void your warranty.
Another useful linking word is but. Technically, it's a coordinating conjunction, used to join independent clauses. Use it, along with your other tools, to contrast ideas, as in the following exercises:
Word processors permit efficient manuscript typing. They make revisions a lot easier. They require an investment of several thousand dollars. The operators must be trained for a week.
Janice read the instruction manual very carefully. She hit the ! key. The terminal exploded.
CAUTION: I am not generally urging you to patch several short sentences into one long one. You will need to decide in each case whether doing so will help you define more clearly the relations among ideas.
Find a paragraph or two that you have written recently and underline all the dependent clauses. If you don't find very many, you can be sure that your sentences aren't informing as well as they could. Try rewriting your paragraphs so that at least half the sentences contain dependent clauses.
Before we go on to some more exercises to give you practice using dependent clauses, let's look at the usual, less informative alternative to the dependent clause. It's called the prepositional phrase. Here are some examples:
You learned in grammar school about simple, compound and complex sentences. It's too bad that sentences with dependent clauses in them got the label complex. Most people are frightened by the word complex, because it usually means complicated. Why use a "complex" (meaning complicated) sentence when you can use a simple one? Well, here's another fine mess grammatical terminology has gotten us into!
- in progress
- on the floor
- beside the garage
- between the cities
- of data-processing equipment
- to a Martian
- by walking on hot coals
The first word in each phrase is the preposition. Notice that these phrases have no verbs in them. Clauses always do. (In the last example, walking is formally a noun.)
One way to tell that ideas are being merely listed or cataloged is to notice how many prepositional phrases you have. When there are too many of them, you know that all ideas are being treated as grammatically equal. There's no discrimination, no emphasis among qualifying details. When you don't supply that discrimination and emphasis, your readers have to do that themselves. And that's just what you want to avoid.
So here's a simple rule for improving the way you present details:
Here are some sentences that put their details entirely in prepositional phrases. Use your yellow highlighter to mark all the prepositional phrases. As a check, I note the number of phrases after each sentence.
Then rewrite each sentence to give the same information, but using no prepositional phrases:
In their specifications for engine parts, titanium is often requested by engineers because of its resistance to the effects of high temperatures. (6)
Uncertainties in the market for American cars is of concern to leaders of the industry, due to the increases in the costs of labor and raw materials. (8)
In the design of components for warp drives for starships, increasing attention is being given to the employment of dilithium crystals because of their high power output in relation to their weight. (9)
The emphasis of this research is on new ways of measuring currents in the ocean with radar for the purpose of studying their effects on climate.(8)
Take a paragraph or two from your own writing and mark all the prepositional phrases in yellow. Try rewriting your paragraphs, removing as many of the prepositional phrases as you can.
Scientific and technical writing are nortorious for cataloging details by stringing bunches of adjectives in front of nouns. These are sometimes called noun strings. Here are some examples I extracted from actual technical writing:development flight instrumentation recorders
agency management planning system enhancements
inferior product labeling requirements
multichannel complex maximum-entropy (autoregressive) spectral analysis
digital 8-pole variable-bandwidth lowpass filter
surface water quality protection procedures development
canister/missile launch support stand (TSE4508) interface design
They don't make any more sense when you see them in context, either. Here are a few sentences that cause most readers to do a double-take. Underline the piled-up adjectives:The QX-7 is the first extra-long range (800-1000 miles), low-silhouette pilotless target aircraft to be built entirely of fiberglass.
The top-level fire-control-related generic requirements are stated explicitly in the proposal.
The detail media measurements are particularly useful in the continuous refinement of one and two-dimensional laser peformance calculations.
It was necessary to run the transient counterflow program to obtain the average temperature history of a mass averaged nozzle and the deuterium coolant exit temperature history.
The closed-cavity power data base was used to establish the gain generator run conditions at the various power points specified.
In these examples, technical adjectives are so crammed together ahead of nouns that it's not even clear what they mean.
What can you do about strings of technical adjectives? If you're tempted to translate them into strings of prepositional phrases, don't! That's sometimes an improvement, but as you just learned, prepositional phrases are catalogers of ideas, too.
The first example above can be rewritten using a dependent clause:The QX-7, which is the first pilotless aircraft to be built entirely of fiberglass, combines a range between 800 and 1000 miles with a low radar silhouette.Go ahead and rewrite the other four sentences, using dependent clauses to clarify the relations among ideas.
Now, take a paragraph or two of your own writing and underline any strings of technical adjectives. Rewrite those sentences using more analytical constructions.
When you use dependent clauses (that is, complex sentences), you write in the most natural, yet informative style possible. You bring the important ideas into the spotlight and analyze their interrelations. Listing ideas in strings of adjectives or prepositional phrases, on the other hand, just catalogs them.
The next four lessons are short ones. They'll show you four simple steps for making your sentences hang together in coherent paragraphs. The same analytical principles apply to these larger writing units as to words and sentences.

Cashmere is a natural speciality animal fibre, derived from the soft undercoat of a range of Asiatic goat breeds. The wool of cashmere goats has been processed into beautiful textiles since around 1000 BC in their homeland, the Kashmir Valley in the Jammu-Kashmir state of northern India. Nowadays, cashmere is primarily produced in China but other major cashmere-producing countries include Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan and Iran. There are also large cashmere goat breeding farms in Australia, New Zealand and Scotland, where mostly white wool species are bred; the wool then being later dyed with colour.
The annual production of cashmere wool occurs in spring with their natural shedding. Their undercoat is combed, or in industrialised countries it is removed by shearing. The underside of the neck has the softest most luxurious fibres, because they are the finest and longest. The downy wool is then cleaned by a machine to get rid of any top hairs or dirt and the fibres are sorted by colour by hand. This painstaking production process is what makes cashmere wool the most valuable and expensive natural fibre. To reduce the cost of materials, cashmere fibres are often mixed with other fibres and these percentages must be stated on the label. One hundred per cent pure cashmere products are high quality, luxurious, rare, and therefore an investment.
Properties and qualities
Cashmere is known for its extreme softness, warmth and lustrous quality, a result of its extremely fine fibres. The fineness of cashmere is typically between 7 and 19 microns. In comparison, ordinary sheep's wool has a diameter of 36 microns. This fineness gives cashmere its silky feel. The annual production of cashmere from each goat is about 150 grams, which is why it is considered to be so rare and therefore so luxurious. Cashmere occurs naturally in only three colours: white, gray and brown, but can be dyed any colour.
How does it feel?
Cashmere feels incredibly soft, silky and smooth.
Cashmere products should be dry cleaned.

ACU coach's bid for 500th win delayed
New Mexico Highlands spoiled Abilene Christian's home baseball debut and coach Britt Bonneau's attempt at win No. 500 with a 10-3 drubbing of the No. 11 Wildcats on Friday at Crutcher Scott Field.
The good news for ACU (1-1) is that the teams play two today beginning at 2 p.m., giving Bonneau a quick second shot at the milestone.
Highlands (3-2) hammered 20 hits and led 9-0 at the end of the fifth inning.
ACU starter Cooper Page gave up six earned runs and 10 hits in 313 innings.
Alex Harrison reached an error and scored on a wild pitch in the ACU half of the fifth.
In the bottom of the ninth, the Wildcats scored twice on RBI singles by Willie Uechi and Ruben Perez.
Uechi was the only Wildcats batter to solve Highland starter Drew Vassil, going 3-for-4.
Vassil, 1-0, went the distance, giving up six hits, two earned runs and striking out five.
Uechi was the only Wildcats batter to solve Highland starter Drew Vassil, going 3-for-4.

Chemistry Majors Bring Back Awards from Conference
Publication Date: 11/25/2013
(l-r) Rachel Sanders, Hallie Weems, Diana Bigler, Katie Hatstat
Two Rhodes chemistry majors won outstanding poster presentation awards at the 22nd Conference on Current Trends in Computational Chemistry held Nov. 15-16 in Jackson, MS. Diana Bigler '15 and Hallie Weems '15 tied for the third place award after competing with other undergraduate and graduate students from around the country.
Their work was on a combined experimental/theoretical investigation of sulfotransferase enzymes currently being carried out in the laboratories of Professors Mauricio Cafiero and Larryn Peterson in the Department of Chemistry. These enzymes are responsible for the regulation and transport of drugs, neurotransmitters, and hormones in the body.
Cafiero served as a session chair at the conference which attracts researchers from all over the world. Thirteen countries were represented this year. Rachel Sanders '14 and Katie Hatstat '16 also attended.

I'll take the one on the right. No, just one is fine.
TLC has taken another step in its insatiable quest to find rock bottom. The network's new reality show, "Sister Wives," will chronicle the lives of a group of fundamentalist Mormons who practice polygamy. It's like a double episode of "Wife Swap," except with just one guy and no swapping.
But in case you think the producers are simply exploiting the lives of a bunch of religious fanatics for ratings, think again. They actually care about these people. As it turns out, they're just like you or me…except for the whole "cult" thing.
"They are very much modern family. They are open-minded. They are generally adorable," said Bill Hayes, president of North Carolina-based Figure 8 Films and co-executive producer of the show. "Their children were so well behaved and polite and healthy and happy," he added. "Pardon the cliche, but the proof was in the pudding. I thought, 'What a bunch of great young people, and there was nothing strange about them.'"
You know, he has a point. Maybe there's nothing strange about a group of women being used as a human puppy mill, as long as their children are well behaved, and provided they don't shoot me during their apocalyptic final battle with the federal government. After all, a single mom lives next door, and I'm pretty sure her kids are running a meth lab. Perhaps four moms is the way to go. (Warming Glow)

Sexual abuse of young girls denied by ex farmer from Rackenford
Posted: August 14, 2014|
A RETIRED agricultural engineer has denied abusing three young girls while they were visiting his smallholding in the 1980s and 1990s.
Kenneth Tucker, aged 86, said he had never touched any child inappropriately and said some of the girls had never even visited his property at the time of the alleged attacks.
The wheelchair bound ex farmer from Rackenford said he could only remember the girls making very occasional visits and that they had not stayed for as long as they claimed.
He also denied taking them to shops in Tiverton to buy them sweets and treats. He said allegations that he raped one girl in a partially refurbished bathroom when she was just 11 were untrue.

Tucker, of Rackenford, denies rape and four indecent assaults against one girl, and three indecent assaults against two others.
Two of the alleged victims have told the jury the assaults happened when they were having breaks in the country with him and his wife Mary in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
One girl says he abused her and her sister and the abuse ended with him raping her in a bathroom after threatening to hurt her sister if she did not comply.
She said Tucker had also showed her an axe on a woodpile in his yard and told her he would kill and bury her and her sister if they revealed what he was doing and they would never see their family again.
She said much of the abuse happened when Mary Tucker was away fetching eggs in the morning and Tucker played 'tickling games' with her and her sister.
The other girl alleged Tucker touched her sexually while putting her to bed at nights.
Tucker could not go into the witness box at Exeter Crown Court because he is wheelchair bound and almost blind.
He was wheeled to the front of the court and repeatedly tapped his white stick on the ground as he emphasised his denials.
He said the girls' accounts could not be correct because there were no spare rooms at his home at the time they said they had visited it.
There had never been an upstairs bathroom, he had never kept an axe in the yard, and never gone shopping with any of the girls.
He said his wife was always at home with him, he had been married to her for 63 years, and they were inseparable.
He rejected all the allegations of sexual abuse. He said: "I can remember one of the girls coming in and sitting on my bed once but I threw her out because I had to get dressed.
"At the time I often got up first. I would get up at 5am and start working if it was light. I cannot remember throwing the girls in the air as they suggest.
"I am certain I did not touch the children in any way. No, it did not happen. The incident in the bathroom definitely did not happen.
"I certainly would not touch the girl in the way she said. She was a child. They are saying I did things which I would not dream of doing."

Brunch on The Terrace at Avenue One
Oh yea, and a satisfying shooter of Muesli with plump raisins and slivers of granny smith apple. The first entree I tried was the Carmelized Onion, Roasted Portabello and Grafton Cheddar Omelet which surprisingly ended up being my favorite! I say surprisingly because I typically prefer a more dressed up Eggs Benedict, but the omelet was served piping hot and offered a simple yet superb combination of sweet onions, savory mushrooms and lots of gooey melted cheese.
The Maine Lobster Eggs Benedict with Toasted Pilgrim Bread, Cobb Bacon and chive Hollaindaise was a close second. The eggs were slightly over poached but the fresh well prepared lobster and that bacon cooked over roasted corn cobs was fantastic. The third egg option was a Coddled Egg over Baby Arugula, Prosciutto Crisp, Marcona Almonds and Honey Roasted Stone Fruits. It sounded like a worthy contender but after two doses of eggs I was tempted instead by the Gluten Free Granola. This was accompanied by some All Natural Yogurt and House Made Blackberry Jam. This granola was out of control good and Gluten Free to boot! I thought that was a smart option. The Challah Bread French Toast with Roasted Fruit and Streusel Topping was tasty, but I missed the syrup! No matter how sweet a french toast may be, without syrup I'm totally at a loss! (The chef explained they were not offering syrup for the toppings were sweet enough enjoyed on their own.) Perhaps this was true for the Triple Chocolate Hotcakes with Lake Champlain Chocolate Sauce, Espresso Chocolate Sauce and White Chocolate Butter, but I was too full to eat hotcakes at that point. I thought I took serious advantage of the offerings and I.was.stuffed.The Terrace at Avenue One is more of an unknown destination rather than a well kept secret! There is little buzz about this outdoor oasis that looks to cater to those seeking an after work cocktail, a pre theater bite or a simple respite from the indoor scene. The new Avenue One Brunch menu aspires to satisfy everyone from the health conscious to the local Bostonians looking to indulge and the travel weary seeking comfort.

I am developing some new modules to an existing Java
Application that uses Struts 1.2.
In the new functionality i added A LOT of effects using
scriptaculous. I did my testing in Firefox, because i
