Sega and developer Creative Assembly reveal their ambition for Shogun 2: Total War is to achieve greater depth with much less global scope. Basically that means by focusing on only Japanese shores they can "immerse" in the culture of the period, and it can be "a thing of beauty". "When we begin development, as a team we immerse ourselves in the period and the setting that we are trying to bring to life in the game," said Lead Designer James Russell in a Sega in-house interview, reports IncGamers. "We develop features that reflect the battles and the military & economic dilemmas of the time (as well as making for great gameplay)." "On the campaign map this means we fold in the importance of honour, treachery, clan & family, and many other aspects of being a warlord in feudal Japan. Of course, we need a completely new set of agents and agent abilities too." "On the battle side, special, historically accurate, hero characters can help turn the tide of battle. We're also giving siege mechanics a complete overhaul: Japanese castles are very different from European castles, and we're working hard to make the layouts look convincingly Japanese as well as playing well," he continued on. They plan some "very exciting things" for Shogun 2's multiplayer but won't be discussing that just yet. Napoleon: Total War introduced an online feature the fans have wanted for a long time - multiplayer campaigns - and this is likely to return. "We really want to make Shogun 2 a thing of beauty, and the most immersive Total War game ever. We are focusing on pushing gameplay depth and polish rather than raw 'size' or scope: doing more with less," noted Creative's Russell. "Internally, we are calling these things together (beauty, depth, polish and immersion) the Zen of Total War. We are absolutely committed to making Shogun 2 the most breathtaking Total War experience ever." Naval battles will remain in Shogun 2, with ships laden with archers and samurai warriors ready to board opposing vessels and clank blades together. You'll also have land in sight to help better orientate you, with ships driven by oars and not the winds. Shogun 2: Total War will release exclusively on PC. |

Get your ass out there and hang on to it!
7 comments:
Best Babbles comment ever! I think TPL or WIM needs to expand their line pf shirts to include "Get your ass out and hang on to the puck".
I was insanely grumpy from the last minute in the first until five minutes into the 3rd when they ("they" does not include Abby or Loins) collectively dumped the load of potatoes outmof their pants and started to move. Not Homer though (sorry Natalie, his derrier seemed to stuck to the bench).
Douchiest moments in Versucks commentary in OT:
"You have to remember that if that shot was a little lower, we wouldn't be here" - WTF? Last time I checked, the crossbar doesn't count.
"It's hard to say who was holding who there" - Apparently not for the referees.- AnonymousThursday, November 11, 2010
I'm sure happy to Abdelkader playing so well. I'm an MSU-Hockey nut who cheered the team all the way to his national champion winning goal, so it's great to see him stepping up on the big stage.

Eyes on Xanadu
- Title Eyes on Xanadu
- Released 25/10/2004 12:00 am
- Copyright NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
- Description
This image taken on 24 October 2004, reveals Titan's bright 'continent-sized' terrain known as 'Xanadu'. It was acquired with the narrow-angle camera on the Cassini-Huygens Imaging Science Subsystem through a spectral filter centred at 938 nanometres, a wavelength region at which Titan's surface can be most easily detected.
Surface materials with different brightness properties (or albedos) rather than topographic shading are highlighted. The image has been calibrated and slightly enhanced for contrast. It will be further processed to reduce atmospheric blurring and to optimize mapping of surface features. The origin and geography of Xanadu remain mysteries at this range. Bright features near the south pole (bottom) are clouds.

Apollo Theatre
526 E. 47th Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Apollo Theatre opened in 1909 on 47th Street, in the Grand Boulevard neighborhood, close to the 47th Street/South Parkway (now Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive) commercial/entertainment center. Originally a vaudeville hall seating over 700, the Apollo served what was at that time a solidly Irish and Jewish-German neighborhood.
During the 1920's, African-Americans poured into the neighborhood from the South, and within a few years, the area around 47th Street and South Parkway later gained the nickname, "The Harlem of Chicago" for its many African-American cultural and entertainment institutions, such as the Regal Theatre, the Savoy Ballroom, the Palm Tavern, and the Metropolitan (Met) Theatre. (Sadly, of all these great venues, only the Palm Tavern still stands today).
In 1920, the Apollo Theatre was renamed the Earl Theatre, and switched to a movies-only format, and continued to operate in this capacity until it closed in the 1950's. The theater's name reverted back to Apollo Theatre by the 1940's. The theater building remained standing, having last housed a medical center. It was demolished in January 2012.

Trying to place this building, if in fact it was a theater. Thanks.
The photo in the link posted by Ken mc http://tinyurl.com/d62rot is the New Apollo Theatre on Pulaski Rd just south of North Ave. It's now a banquet hall. See Cinema Treasures posting for New Apollo.
This building was a furniture store when I was growing up in the late 1950's and 1960's.

I have a friend about to go in for knee replacement surgery. I want to put together a little bag of healing crystals for him to keep on him while in the hospital, and at home during recovery. What do you recommend?
Dear T,
Thanks for reaching out to us! Your friend is so lucky to have your help! For knee replacement, I recommend using Malachite and Lapis Lazuli for inflamation and Kunzite for joint pain. As an added bonus, these crystals also boost the immune system to help him heal faster. Azurite and Aragonite are also beneficial to the knee and will help to strengthen it. I hope his surgery goes well. We will send him healing energy also!
Crystal Blessings,

Disclaimer: I must share the standard disclaimer that I am not a doctor and cannot give out medical advice. Crystals for healing should be used as a compliment to other therapies and not as a replacement for regular medical care.

I'll be the first to admit that the bath tub gin did in fact rot my brain. ;-) Using this as an excuse to get DB2 and Informix loaded on to my DB Server, I did a simple test from the Command Center in DB2. (DB2 V8.2 running on SuSE Linux 9.3 x86 32 bit version) Created a table foo, with two columns, bar and retz. Retz could accept NULLS. Instead of adding the constraint, I just altered the table. (yeah I know. Call me old fashion. Goes back to my Informix daze when SE was out and Turbo was brand new. ;-) Interestingly enough, ALTER creates a temp, copies data from table A to Temp, drops Table A, and then rebuilds the new Table A and reloads from Temp. When I did this, I got all of the rows, but the one that contained a null. When I altered the table back to allow nulls, I could add a row with a null and there was no problem.... I'll have to check to see if auto commit was turned on or not. I'll have Informix up some time today and I'll try this test there. Also I'll try Susan's original test. And to Jean's point. The reason you test the SQL syntax against another database is to help to determine if you truly have a bug or not. Simple rule of thumb. 90% of the time, what you think is a bug, is really something that you did wrong. In this case, if a constraint is rolled back, then when you try your indexes, you should see an error when you try to make a primary Key. In other databases you may not, if the index that already exists gets co-opted, or if the designers didn't consider this situation in their index management scheme. Most likely, this scenario hasn't popped up because its one that doesn't occur frequently. (A DBA is going to plan indexes, especially primary key indexes out at design time rather than add them later. If they do add them later, the odds are they will drop and rebuild the table.) -- Michael Segel Principal MSCC (312) 952-8175 | |

The dream of African solidarity, of those special emotions the South African 'oppressed' are supposed to elicit among the peoples to the north, did not last beyond the first match on Tuesday night in Durban, which South Africa won 1-0 after a fiercely disputed penalty. Friendly or no friendly, the Cameroon defenders did not spare their markedly spindlier brothers the scything knee-high tackles that characterised Cameroon's otherwise glorious 1990 World Cup.
But while, physically, some were calling it 'Les Lions Indomptables' versus The Pygmies, what emerged was that South Africa have a team to compete with the best in Africa, a team that could reach the final stages of the World Cup in 1994. The second match, on Thursday in Cape Town, Cameroon won 2-1 after having two players sent off. The final match, in Johannesburg on Saturday, was a 2-2 draw which South Africa, coming back twice from behind, might have won.
Never before had South Africa fielded a truly representative, multi-racial team in international football. While 99 per cent of the people who follow South African football are black, a good number of the players, and many of the coaches, are white. The players who competed last week included two whites, the captain, Neil Tovey, and the goalkeeper, Mark Anderson.
On the stands in the 78,000 capacity First National Bank stadium on Saturday, Tovey provoked as much affection, if not as much admiration, among the running commentators in the crowd as 'Doctor' Khumalo, the velvet-footed midfielder who tucked away the 79th minute penalty winner at the historic Durban match.
Stanley 'Screamer' Tshabalala, the national team coach, consistently singled out the blond-haired Tovey for special praise in his post-match press conferences last week. 'Neil is a battler who leads by example, something we don't have too much of among our black players. He knows he's not a player with flair but he is me on the pitch. He knows when to tell the players to go back, to push up. We have great understanding, so much so that before I selected the squad we talked a lot so I could get his views.'
Tovey is a perfect complement to the likes of Khumalo, 'Ace' Khuze and Fani Madida, the sort of players who - as has been noted by the former Manchester United and England goalkeeper Gary Bailey (who has played for Soweto's Kaizer Chiefs and is now a local sports broadcaster) - can do things with a tennis ball that ordinary English First Division players cannot do with a football.
'With blacks and whites in South Africa, that's where we have a possible edge over the rest of Africa,' Tshabalala said. 'We can produce teams blending battlers with players of flair.' Tovey is one of those players who will chase and harry the opposition all afternoon, is always available for the ball and has the humility and good sense promptly to release it to players more skilful than himself. Having said that, at no point did he justify his manager's faith more than in the second half of Saturday's game when he slipped through a ball to winger Bennet Masinga as perfectly weighted and timed as Maradona's to Caniggia for Argentina's winner against Brazil in 1990. On the run, Masinga put away South Africa's second equaliser without breaking his stride.
The ultra - not to say cynical - professionalism of that Argentina team is precisely what the South Africa team lacks, however. The second Cameroon goal on Saturday came about in the 40th second of the second half with the South African defence either asleep or concentrating on the witch-doctor prancing - leopard skins and all - behind their goal.
Generally, South African players have a tendency to indulge in what Roger Milla - who, at 40, strolled his way elegantly through the three matches - criticised as 'amateurish clowning'. All too often, the likes of 'Doctor' Khumalo would find that, having dazzlingly beaten three players in the centre circle, the rest of the team would stand watching as mesmerised as the crowd with no one making the move into space necessary to capitalise on his skills.
Significantly, the most valuable of the South African players was the only one who plays in Europe, Augustine Makalakalane of FC Zurich. There was an urgency and purposefulness about this midfielder's play, starkly lacking in the rest of his team-mates, even when they were a goal down. He was almost too thoughtful for his team-mates, too often one step ahead of them.
But thrust and speed and wit, when they came, provided some delightful moments on Saturday, justifying Tshabalala's shrewdly optimistic concluding remarks on the series on Saturday evening. 'We are not world-beaters. We have a lot to learn. But what a promising start]'

Many cities are imbued with history, beaches, and stunning countryside, a stopover at Turkey guarantees mesmerised holiday. Distinct offerings such as the old remains of Ephesus to the lavish beach resorts along the Aegean Sea will awaken and enthral even the most tired tourist.

Ephesus was among the largest cities in the world in the 1st century B.C, Ephesus city boasts hosting and in housing one of the ancient wonders of the world, the "Artemis", the Roman empire respected and adored the city, as it was a tourist attraction site from before the Christ. The remnants of Ephesus are well conserved and enclosed within a large historical/archaeological site; this makes it one of Turkey's most popular tourist centres. Its allures include the big auditorium, the Hadrian cabin and the classic Celsus book place, a story edifice that was constructed to keep more than 12,000 documentaries.
Situated in Central Anatolia, Cappadocia is pre-eminently known for its exceptional and breath-taking landscape of extraordinary formations resembling chimneys, cones, mushrooms and pinnacles. Many natural occurrences and processes such as volcanic eruptions and erosion gave birth to these odd formations over the centuries. Decades and thousands of years ago, humanity added beautiful touches and improvements to the building through architectural work. The designs helped in intriguing many tourists to the area as it is a must see/visit place for anybody in Turkey.
Served as the capital city for the past Roman empires and mostly the Ottoman and Byzantine Empires, it remains the largest city in Turkey and holds much of prehistoric wealth and remains.

Machinemade God - Losses To Lessons текст песни, lyrics
Why did we break up like this? What went wrong? What has become of us? Tell me where our love is! How could we fuckin let it end like this? Why is it so hard to let go? Since days I haven't been eating, I have not been sleeping... ...but I won't give up dreaming of getting back what we once had. Erase all unwanted memories, there's no happy ending in this plot. I might be tough but I'm not heartless, I need time to get over it, cause I'm not! Why do I love what I cannot have? Do you know what you did when you left? You took the knife and finished your work, traced the scars you caused with your selfishness digged deep in my wounds caused by your lack or trust drew patterns on my wrists with your hateful words left me sat there streaming crimson tears that you enduced and then the final blow that killed everything... Breakdown Burned vision, eyes swen shut from the dry air. I'm staring at the clock, forgetting to blink Time must do me this one favour and move hastily along because I know no patience when I'm dying from absence I turn my loses into lessons no time for regrets |

Goddammit, I love Unwound!
Easily one of the best bands I've ever heard. Catch me on the right day, and I might say that I enjoy them even more than Sonic Youth. I honestly can't recall a single song by them that I dislike. They don't get namedropped enough these days, and I find it quite pitiful that I couldn't find a thread dedicated to their brilliance on SYG.
So, Unwound, here's to you! In the famous words of the late Rob Instigator, "Skronk on!" |
I haven't listened to them. But I am now. ON Youtube. And well 10 seconds in.....and it doesn't sound bad.....quite good actually...I'm just gonna keep typing till I'm finished hearing this song and well....it sounds pretty gosh darn aewsome. so now I'm still listening while they play....no lyrics yet...but it sounds liek they can come in at any time....and well...this keyboard sucs so I'm just gonna stop typing.
Thansk guy
There's a million threads on here about Unwound.
Ones specifically dedicated to them? I couldn't find shit.
Yr welcome EVOL. |
some and one "official" for what it's worth.
repetition does not hurt (haha). |
'Leaves turn inside you' is probably one of the albums I've heard the most.
Really good very loud: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVUQxdn-MoQ |
lol nice joke. Well, maybe I'm gonna have to get better at the search function, because I will tell you... that is NOT what you get when you search "Unwound". Either way, great band - deserving of multiple threads. :D |
what's the problem anyway, it made me wanna listen to that album again right now.
yeah read my NR Essentials post Joe.
They're like Sonic Youth, except without all the feminist nonsense, and songs that you only pretend to like.
you could have not posted that, you had the option |
If you can't see my tongue in my cheek, it looks quite similar to when Thurston's member is near-bursting through the side of Kim Gordon's mouth.
^ that made me want to post something...but I wont'.....for many reasons.....
they're pretty good, i just put on light at the end of the tunnel is a train p
I had the pleasure of seeing them live. What an amazingly powerful band. Love them!
Unwound are a really, really consistent band. I think my two favorites from them are Leaves Turn Inside You (The obvious one) and New Plastic Ideas.... Fake Train is pretty damn good as well.
Probably my favorite Unwound song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WilH0XISBUQ ~Jeremy~ |
Leaves Turn Inside You is probably my LEAST favorite album.
Perhaps it is because I knew it was there last and I didn't want it to be so. |
New Plastic Ideas, and Repetition are my personal favorites.

News Release 13-75
Ottawa, January 28, 2013—The mining sector in Canada's North is forecast to almost double its output and employment by the end of the decade – staggering growth compared to the Canadian economy as a whole. Achieving this outcome, however, depends on greater efforts by industry, governments and communities to address key issues including infrastructure, regulatory uncertainty, skills shortages and Aboriginal rights, according to a Centre for the North report, The Future of Mining in Canada's North.
The Conference Board of Canada forecasts that Canada's overall northern metal and non-metallic mineral output will grow by 91 per cent from 2011 to 2020, a compound annual growth rate of 7.5 per cent. In contrast, the Canadian economy is forecast to grow by an average of just 2.2 per cent annually over this period.
The annual gross domestic product of mining in the north, which was $4.4 billion in 2011, is expected to reach $8.5 billion in 2020 (both figures in constant 2002 dollars).
"Mining is the future economic driver of Canada's North. To fully reap the benefits of this potential, we must find the right balance between risk and opportunity," said Anja Jeffrey, Director, Centre for the North. "For instance, governments need to be conscious of how changes to the regulatory environment can affect communities and industry. Strong efforts to ensure a favourable business climate can leave communities feeling vulnerable. Going too far in the opposite direction can act as a deterrent to investment.
"Equally importantly — and amplified right now by current Aboriginal demands for greater self determination — is the need for trust between Aboriginal communities, governments and industry. Many northern and Aboriginal regions continue to worry about the effects that mining projects may have on their lands and on the environment. Such issues can only be resolved through dialogue."
Community engagement and environmental protection has improved in recent decades, and the business climate in Canada has been stable. But impediments to sustainable growth remain. The report identifies six main issues and potential solutions.
Improvements to regulatory processes. A solution to cumbersome regulations and duplication among governments may be to conclude more transparent impact and benefit agreements – allowing companies to accommodate local residents' needs and give communities a chance to participate in negotiations.
Inadequate or non-existent infrastructure. The lack of transportation, energy and communities infrastructure is the biggest obstacle to northern mining development. Companies currently provide much of their own infrastructure - public-private partnerships could relieve them of some of these costs.
Shortage of skilled labour. Women, new Canadians and youth are under-represented in the mining industry. The North's Aboriginal population could supply many new workers, but Aboriginal peoples will require education and training needed to work in mining.
Engagement of local and Aboriginal communities. Mining companies need to demystify their activities. Communication that begins at the outset of a project and continues through the life of the mine is vital. So are the settlement of outstanding land claims and the conclusion of resource agreements.
Environmental stewardship. Despite a substantial improvement in the industry's environmental performance in recent decades, communities still have legitimate concerns about the ecological impact of projects on natural habitats and traditional lands.
Clarity around mine closure. In addition to implementing sustainable practices during production, the industry must develop plans for mine closure, decommissioning and reclamation – in collaboration with the local communities.

Sybie Summers, a sixth-generation Falklander, was pretty sure of the fate deserved by the shadowy cell of refusniks known on the streets of Port Stanley as "The Three". With a steely stare, she said: "They can have a one-way plane ticket. Marked 'Do not return'."
As the diminutive capital of the Falkland Islands awoke bleary-eyed from a night of partying to celebrate its overwhelming 99.8 per cent "yes" vote in favour of remaining British, widely applauded here as a diplomatic two-fingered salute to Buenos Aires, the hunt was on for the brave or foolish 0.2 per cent of the electorate who, whisper it, said "no".
State-of-the art election analysis carried out by The Independent on the back of an envelope showed that out of 1,517 citizens who cast valid votes in the islands' two-day referendum on maintaining British sovereignty a grand total of three had swum against the political tide.
The reasons behind such electoral dissent left many who had danced the night away wrapped in Union flags to keep out the Antarctic wind scratching their heads. Were they informed votes for independence? Or were they a treacherous call to raise the Argentine flag over Government House? But most important of all – in a territory the size of Wales with a population the size of a small English village – what were the identities of this non-conformist trio?
In the Pod gift shop on Stanley's quayside, whose steady stream of customers from visiting cruise ships has diminished significantly in recent months due to an Argentine ban on such vessels visiting its own shores, there was little appetite for magnanimity.
Mrs Summers, said: "I don't know who they are but if they're not standing up for our islands then they shouldn't be here. We never turn anyone away from these islands but if that is how they feel then they can have a one way plane ticket out of here. Marked 'Do not return'."
Asked whether the no votes might have been the expression of an embryonic desire for this increasingly wealthy and confident one-time outpost of empire to one day loosen the apron strings with the Mother Country, she added: "I think that's being too generous."
Sadly, The Independent's hunt for this vanishingly-rare new political beast among the 3,000 islanders – around 2,000 of them living in Stanley's quiet haven of brightly-painted, tin-roofed houses, proved less than fruitful.
One man, identified as a possible referendum objector and who asked not to be named, responded as if asked whether he murdered puppies for a living: "Christ no. Where did you get that from? I'm all for us exploring greater autonomy eventually but there was really only one way to vote this time. It had to be yes. We have to be united."
At one point, a rumour began to circulate that one of the no voters had been defiantly expressing their opinions in one of Stanley's cafés. Further enquiries revealed it was in fact a visiting Eurosceptic who had been railing against the inadequacies of the European Union and Britain's continued membership. He had also left a fortnight earlier.
Others muttered darkly about "troublemakers" in the community with links to Argentina, an unfair and insulting bit of finger-pointing considering that Falklanders with Argentine family ties tend to be among the most sharply critical of the 1982 invasion and the staunchest supporters of the islands' British identity.
In Deanos Bar, a favourite watering hole for small groups of troops when a night pass from the British garrison 50 minutes outside Stanley, Wayne Leo, a St Helenian who has lived in Stanley for 12 years, said: "Whoever they are, they will be keeping their heads down. I think if you voted no, with everyone so happy about the yes vote, it might not be a good idea to identify yourself. Nothing would happen. But people also have long memories here."
Indeed, for every resident irritated by the no voters, there were likely many more who saw it as valuable evidence of a vigorous debate and democracy on the islands. Behind the scenes, organisers had in fact been concerned that an untrammelled yes vote would have run the risk of making the Falklands look like it had more in common with North Korea than Britain.
Jan Cheek, one of the islands' elected legislators, told The Independent: "I think those votes give our referendum credibility. If it had been 100 per cent in favour, it would have been very suspicious."
One official added that if islanders wanted to criticise then a better focus for their ire would have been the 132 Falklanders who had registered to vote in the referendum but then chose not to cast their ballots.
Instead, on the morning after a predictable but no less historic vote, islanders were more interested in the opinion of the world, and in particular Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, than a witch hunt within their own ranks.
Gavin Short, another legislator, said: "For the first time in our long history there can be no misinterpretation as to how we feel about our relationship with Britain. President Fernandez de Kirchner we have sent you a message: we have absolutely no desire to be ruled by the government in Buenos Aires. I hope now that you might respect that."

Florida gymnasts ranked No. 1
Published: Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 12:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 12:46 p.m.
The Florida gymnastics team moved into the No. 1 spot in this week's GymInfo national rankings.
The Gators posted the nation's eighth-highest score of 2012 in the team's road meet at Auburn last Friday, earning a 197.50-196.875 victory over the Tigers. That score brought Florida's season average to 196.929, enough to propel the Gators to No. 1 from last week's No. 2 spot. Oklahoma ranks No. 2 this week with a 196.784 season average, and Georgia and Alabama are tied at No. 3 with 196.725 averages.
Florida is the fifth team to hold the No. 1 spot this season. The first week of 2012 finished with Nebraska ranked No. 1, followed by Arkansas/UCLA at the top in the second week of the season. Utah claimed sole ownership of the No. 1 position in weeks three through five.
This marks the 29th occasion that the Gators have been ranked No. 1 since 2006. Prior to 2006, the last time UF ranked as the No. 1 team was Feb. 4, 1989.
Florida's season average is boosted by three additions to the Gators' All-Time Top 20 scores. The team's 197.850 against LSU ranks as the fifth-highest team total in program history, and the 197.775 posted against then-No.1 Arkansas, Bridgeport and No. 24 Maryland ranks as the sixth-highest total. Last Friday's 197.50, the nation's top road score of 2012, checks in as Florida's No. 16 team total all-time.
Next up, the Gators face the No. T-3 Georgia Gym Dogs in the O'Connell Center at 7 p.m. Friday. This will be the 18th time in the last 20 meetings between the two teams that one of the teams brings a No. 1 ranking into the competition.

The 400 cover restaurant spans two floors and boast a 100-year-old olive tree and fresh live herbs on the tables. It will offer Manchester's diners a unique concept as the restaurant is self-service with guests enjoying face-to-face interactions with chefs as they cook their dish to order, just how they like it. Guests order and pay using a smart card system - one per customer - meaning everyone pays for what they order, avoiding the need for tricky bill splitting at the end of the meal.
PIZZA – It starts life as a humble ball. But as soon someone orders a pizza, it only takes seconds for a Vapianisti to transform the dough into a wonderfully thin base. These kitchen whizzes have been known to turn pizza-making into a show, spinning the pizza base through the air and leaving spectators looking on in awe. Will they drop it? Will it tear?
Of course they won't! Anyone twirling dough through the air at Vapiano knows exactly what they're doing and is welcome to have a little fun now and again. There's a good reason for all the dough throwing too – the pizza base becomes thinner and thinner. Vapianisti love to show off their party tricks and the guests love to marvel. Most pizza makers enjoy watching their wide-eyed guests, looking on nervously to see whether the dough will make it in one piece. The glint in their eye is proof of how much fun they're having! And that's not just the case for making the bases. Their Vapianisti are happy to create every pizza just the way our guests want it. Their motto: there's no such thing as can't! Want extra mozzarella? No problem. Fancy a vegan pizza? Coming right up. Or a carefully folded Calzone? Their pleasure.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Grammys producer Ken Erlich told ABC News Radio that Chris Brown was invited to perform on last night's show because "Everyone deserves a second chance." My feeling: No, they don't. Read the police report of Chris Brown's assault on Rihanna -- the various chapters from face punch to headlock to bashing her head against the window -- and then see how you feel about Chris Brown's second chance. My feeling is that, like pedophiles, domestic abusers don't deserve a second chance at much of anything.
Not their relationships and not, in the case of Chris Brown, access to the minds and hearts of millions of young people via a lucrative music career and the support of his label, media outlets and the forces that allowed him to perform on the Grammys. The disturbing tweets compiled byBuzzfeed wherein Brown's fans write some version of 'Beat me, Chris Brown, love ya' after watching him on the Grammys tell quite vividly the destructive impact of letting that guy sing and dance on national television. He shouldn't be allowed on those shows. His label should drop him. Radio stations should ban him.
But let's say I'm wrong. Let's say I'm speaking from passion here. Let's say there's another way for everyone to handle this situation with Chris Brown so that our young people - female and male fans - aren't getting the message that domestic violence is an acceptable option. I'm trying to take a deep breath and see past my anger - at Chris Brown for his crime and his stubborn insistence the world move past it, at the parents of any teenage girl who tweets that Chris Brown can beat her because no one's taught her otherwise, at CBS for allowing him to be on the Grammys, at the whole ugly ugly scenario - because I think, truly, there is another way. But it involves compassion for Chris Brown.
Brown has spoken candidly about witnessing his mother's abuse at the hands of his stepfather. He's referenced speaking with his mother about it, but that, since she was "in love" she didn't "see it like that." He said he fantasized about murdering his stepfather and going to jail for it. Abuse is learned behavior. Chris Brown is a victim of his past. Rihanna was a victim of Chris Brown's past. In '09, in the wake of the Rihanna incident, Brown threw furniture at the Good Morning America offices when he didn't like how an interview went. So, he doesn't know how to handle anger and frustration - clearly. He's known on Twitter for going on rants, and then deleting them; that's compulsive behavior, clearly. What Brown needs is help. He needs therapy. He needs the support of his industry and peers (particularly the elder statesmen like Diddy and Jay-Z who set the tone for being successful black males in music) in his pursuit of recovery. And then, so that he can reverse the damage he and his coterie of enablers have done by pressing on arrogantly as though the past didn't happen and urging everyone else to do the same, Brown needs to speak openly about being a batterer.
Just as he has the power to send the wrong message, Chris Brown has the power to do good. To speak to the all the young men who witnessed abuse in their homes, who struggle to slip out of the cycle of violence. To the mothers who feel powerless to stop the abuse in their homes. To institutions local and national who consider cutting funding to domestic violence organizations. Brown could use the red carpet at the Grammys to promote awareness about domestic violence, both to victims and abusers who want to recover and are not sure how. He would be a pioneer. He would be taking a huge risk in terms of his image as a straight, African-American sex symbol. But he would be incredibly, incredibly brave.
The dialogue in the wake of the Grammys is polarized: 'Shut up, and go away, Chris Brown, you pig.' Or, 'Shut up and let Chris Brown be.' There's a third option: Stand up, Chris Brown. Stand up and be honest.

ER Wait Times in Saint Charles County Hospitals
Average wait times at hospital in Saint Charles County show the time patients can expect to spend. Actual wait times will depend on many factors, such as severity of the injury, time of day, and staffing. Patients are quickly evaluated as part of a triage process, so the most severe cases can be treated first. Depending on the hospital, this initial wait can run from a few minutes to over an hour. The times below also include wait times for initial treatment, since there can be many delays after the triage process. Choose an ER with a shorter wait time to get seen more quickly.Hospital | City | Total Wait Times |
St Charles Parish Hospital | Luling | 2h 3m |
Add an Urgent Care Center to the list
These are the average time from entering the ER to being admitted to the hospital by a doctor. In a busy ER, patients will be seen by a triage nurse first. Then the wait time will vary by severity, and how busy the ER is at the time of day. Patients with less serious problems could have substantially longer waits.
There is a 0 minute wait difference between the fastest ER in Saint Charles and the slowest.

: "Was in the ER 3/20/17. Arrived at 5:15 and at 10:00p.m still not seen. One woman came in said she was miscarrying. Took her vitals, drew blood and sent her back to the waiting room. She left. Another woman came in with chest pains, took her back did and EKG and sent her back to waiting room. Another young girl was in so much pain, had been sitting there for 6 hours, went to the bathroom, past out coming out. Personnel put her in a wheel chain and she sat. 45 minutes later she starting having seizures. Took ER personnel 5-6 minutes after someone yelled for help to come out and take her back. This particular ER I will never go back to. Totally disorganized, rude receptionist and none had any compassion for those that had been waiting for so long. Longest wait time at 9:00p.m. was 7 hours and 53 minutes and the person still had not been seen. Hospital had no beds, ER has no beds, yet they still kept taking ambulances in that were being sent to them by other Hospitals as they turned them away because they were full. Totally unacceptable for these kind of waits and treatment in an ER." - Cathy
Mar 18, 2017, 6:01 PM
: "Don't choose an ER based on wait times. Froedtert has experts on call 24/7. If you go to another ER on a weekend, you might wait two days to be seen by a specialist. At Froedtert, you'll see a neurologist, liver specialist, or heart surgeon right away if you need one. When my husband had a life-threatening brain infection, St. Mary's talked to their neurologist by phone and told us he had early dementia. " - Muriel
Mar 16, 2017, 6:20 PM
: "March 16, 2017...Went in with chest pain and flank pain. They advised my heart rate was elevated in triage so did an ECG. Sat me in a waiting room for 5 hours. Witnessed entire families come in who were all extremely obese eating McDonalds, laughing, partying it up yet they were seen before me. I asked the triage nurse what was going on that I hadn't been called back yet even for a second set of vitals in the last 4 hours, she basically said, leave if you're not happy. Showed no regard whatsoever for my condition or her lack of triage knowledge. She was obviously fresh out of school, not experienced enough for triage. You see I spent years working in the ED as a tech while I went through nursing school. Ended up going elsewhere and getting diagnosed with severe dehydration due to a recent bout with the flu. Hershey Med is one of the worst facilities in the area. " - Ann

Chronic Cold Exposure and Energy Metabolism in Humans
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
- Researchers are studying how metabolism and hormone levels change in response to mild changes in environmental temperature. Changes in metabolism may lessen with time because of hormonal adaptations. If this increase in metabolism continues for a longer period, mild cold exposure may cause weight loss. It is unclear whether exposure to a warmer temperature may cause opposite changes in metabolism. Researchers want to see if longer exposure (1 month) to different temperatures can affect how the body uses energy.
- To test changes in energy metabolism in response to different room temperatures.
- Healthy men between 18 and 40 years of age.
- The entire study will last for 4 months. It will involve a screening visit and a 4-month inpatient stay at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. The inpatient stay will be in a private room at the Metabolic Clinical Research unit. Study participants will be required to stay in the Metabolic Clinical Research unit during the night, but are free to leave during the day.
- At the screening visit, participants will have a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected. A heart function test and diet questionnaire will also be given.
- During the first month, the temperature of the private room will be set at to 75.2 degrees F. This will allow the body to become used to the testing environment.
- During the second month, the temperature will be set to either a cool (66.2 degrees F) or a warm (80.6 degrees F) temperature.
- During the third month, the temperature will return to 75.2 degrees F.
- During the fourth month, the temperature will be altered to the opposite temperature to the one set in the second month.
- Throughout stay, participants will have daily temperature monitoring and will keep a food diary. Once a week, they will collect all of their urine for 24 hours. Once a month, they will spend 24 hours in a metabolic suite to study their metabolism rate.
- Throughout stay, the food will be provided as part of the study.
- During the first and third month (75.2 degrees F) the participants will be allowed to leave the Metabolic Clinical Research unit during the weekends, while during the second and forth month (66.2 or 80.6 degrees F), the participants will be allowed to spend one weekend out of the Metabolic Clinical Research unit.
- Other tests, such as body scans, fat tissue samples, and imaging studies, will be performed as needed.

Official Title: | Impact of Chronic Cold Exposure on Energy Metabolism in Humans |
- To determine the inducibility and plasticity of brown adipose tissue activity by chronic mild cold exposure in healthy adults.
- Evaluate the metabolic sequelae of chronic mild cold exposure
- Evaluate the mechanisms underlying cold-induced metabolic changes

Obesity is a major health issue worldwide. Despite global research efforts, effective treatments for obesity are limited. There are two kinds of fat in the body: white fat and brown fat. White fat functions mainly as an energy-storing organ and in excess results in obesity and complications such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Brown fat on the other hand releases the energy stored in fat as heat. It protects small animals and newborn human infants from cold temperatures.
Recent advances in imaging techniques have revealed brown fat to be present in significant amount in adult humans. Using PET scanning, brown fat is shown to be more abundant in lean and younger individuals, suggesting that brown fat may regulate energy balance and metabolism. In a previous study we showed that following exposure to mild cold (19degree C/66degree F), the activity of brown fat was increased by nearly 10% and the energy expenditure by over 6%. Over time, these changes might result in substantial weight loss. However this has not been investigated and it is uncertain whether long-term cold exposure can sustain the increased activity of brown fat. In order to determine the therapeutic potential of brown fat activation, we designed a study investigating the effects of cold exposure over a long period.
We hypothesize that adult humans can be cold-acclimatized through mild cold exposure over a month. Brown fat activity can be increased and sustained by cold stimulation, which could result in beneficial metabolic changes in the body.
The aims of the current project are to:
- determine whether brown fat can be stimulated by exposure to mild cold
- investigate the metabolic consequences of long-term cold exposure
Volunteers will be randomly assigned to sleep overnight in the Metabolic Clinical Research Unit at NIH, set at either mild cold (19degree C/66degree F) or mild warm (27degree C/81degree F), with a lead-in period and a wash-out period before crossing over, during which the temperature will be ambient (24degree C/75 degree F). Volunteers can conduct their regular activities during the day. Each period will be 1 month in duration. At the end of each month, volunteers will be evaluated for their metabolic response to a mild cold challenge for 24 hours (19degree C/66degree F) to determine whether brown fat function and activity have been altered by temperature acclimatization in the previous month.
Significance: Based on its role in energy homeostasis and protection against obesity in animals, brown fat is likely to have a similar role in adult humans. Determining the contribution of brown fat-mediated cold acclimatization to long term energy balance may lead to novel treatment strategies of obesity.

Metro Edge Figure Skating Club's Nutcracker on Ice
An overview of Nutcracker on Ice
Have you been dreaming of Sweets and Sugar Plum Fairies then this is the community event for your entire family. This abridged one-hour version of the Nutcracker is a magical experience the whole family will enjoy! The traditional ballet has been adapted to ice; skaters in costumes will glide across the shimmering ice to Tchaikovskys Nutcracker Suite with magical sets as the backdrop.
The cast includes 100 area skaters. The principal skaters are competitive skaters from area skating clubs who will spin and jump their way through this holiday classic! The show also features skaters from the Webster Ice Arena's skate school program as adorable sweets, mice, fairies and more. In the spirit of the season, the area skaters are donating their time to collect food items for the Rock Hill-Webster Ministries food pantry. Patrons are asked to help by bringing non-perishable food items to the show. In return, guests will be entered into a special holiday raffle!
Our Audience
Our primary audience is families in the St. Louis area. We also draw a large number of Girl Scout troops to our shows. We are the only figure skating production of The Nutcracker in the St. Louis area. One of our goals is to showcase the talent of the St. Louis skaters and recognize their coaches before the St. Louis community. The story itself is very family friendly. We have priced tickets to be affordable for families ($8 through the cast, $10 in advance, $12 at door). We support a charity each year and conduct food and/or other drives as part of the event, which is supported by our skaters and promoted through challenges and raffles to the Girl Scout troops and patrons. Through the support of the Girl Scouts and cast members we have made large food pantry donations to the Webster-Rock Hill Ministries in 2005-2011. In 2011 we donated 3 very full short bed truckloads of food to this pantry! This year our drive will again support the Webster-Rock Hill Ministries food pantry. We feel this is an important part of the show as it is a great way for our skaters to lead the way in helping those in need in our community.
Local and Media coverage of this event continues to grow each year as over 3500 skating fans attend our 4 shows annually. Our publicity plan includes media appearances (including appearing in the Christmas in St. Louis parade on Thanksgiving, a booth at the Webster Holiday Open House and appearances on local news shows), print coverage, public service announcements and placement on many community calendars.
Metro Edge Figure Skating Club of Missouri
The Metro Edge FSC is the organization that produces this event. We are a not for profit, 501c3, U.S. Figure Skating Club with over 100 member families from throughout the St. Louis metro and Eastern Illinois communities. The Metro Edge Figure Skating Club's mission is to provide ways for individual and team figure skaters to achieve excellence in skating and competition, to participate in a team spirit of mutual respect and goodwill and enjoy the time put into attaining their skating goals. We feel producing the Nutcracker plays an important role in fulfilling our mission. These skaters spend hours upon hours perfecting their craft for competitions and tests, but the show provides them the opportunity to entertain and amaze you with their skating ability and talent. Performance in this show is a highlight for all of our skaters as this is when they share their love for the sport and art of figure skating with the community. Their reward will not be a medal or passed level, but will be enthusiastic applause, and they will tell you there is nothing better!
In addition to producing this and other shows, the club hosts an annual competition (Show Me State Games of America) and in 2010 we hosted the ISI District 9 Championships; sponsors eight synchronized skating teams; supports individual skaters through training opportunities and scholarships; has implemented a team building program featuring nationally acclaimed sports psychologist, Jason Selk through the support of a grant provided by the St. Louis Sports Commission, provides professional development programs and funding to our coaches; has sponsored the Webster Groves Community Days Family Day Celebration over the 4th of July and supports local and national charities, which has included "Cool Kids" a foundation that supports families with children who are fighting cancer, the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, "Push for Pencils" school supply drive (visit http://www.kidsmartstl.org/push-for-pencils/blog/ for more information) and the Webster-Rock Hill Ministries Food Pantry through our annual Nutcracker Food Drive and by adopting families for Thanksgiving dinner baskets. The St. Louis Synergy Synchronized Skating teams are a great source of pride for the club, these eight teams represent the club and our city throughout the Midwest region in U.S. Figure Skating competitions. Synergy has had teams compete at Nationals since 2009. Two of our teams competed at the US Synchronized Skating Championships in 2012, the St. Louis Synergy Intermediate and Novice teams. The 2011-12 Intermediate team is the Midwest Sectional Champions and Bronze National medalists; the 2011-2012 Novice team is the Midwest pewter medalists and ISI National Teen Champions and the Preliminary team is the Midwestern Sectional Champions. For additional information on our organization please visit www.metroedgefsc.org
Charity Hendrickson is returning as director for our 8th annual Nutcracker on Ice. Charity brought this production from Rockford, Illinois where it was conceived and created by her mother. Charity has 12 years of experience both as a cast member and a director of this show in Rockford where it was a well-known successful event! She is excited to share this production with the St. Louis community. Professionally, Charity is physical therapist, with an advanced degree from St. Louis University.
Dawn Jungermann assisted veteran producer Karen Rosemann with the show production in 2011 and is taking on the larger role of Producer this year. Dawn has a BA in Visual Communication Design from Purdue University and has worked in the area of environmental graphic design for over 30 years, most recently as Principal at Ten8 Group. Dawn is excited to bring a quality show to the community and work with a great group of skaters, sponsors and volunteers!
Production Staff
A capable 25-member volunteer staff has been recruited to head up all aspects of the show's production under Charity & Dawn's direction. The show utilizes professional coaches form the Metro Edge Figure Skating Club and St. Louis area skating programs to choreograph the group numbers.
Challenges / Community Support Needed
We are dedicated to making this a special experience for the skaters who participate and provide an opportunity to all who participate to give back to the community through our food drive.
We want to continue to keep the show affordable to families so many may enjoy the magic of a show on ice! The costs of doing a show can be daunting; show expenses have run over $25K annually. In addition to ice rental, we must rent lighting and music equipment and purchase materials for costumes and sets. Our volunteers provide over 2000 volunteer hours to execute this show, including all the labor for our costumes and sets, but as you can see the costs are still substantial for a community production.
Corporate sponsorships and assistance in marketing the show can increase our income to cover our expenses. Community support will help draw more patrons to our shows, which will enable us to continue to provide an opportunity for families to participate and attend the show at a low cost.
