again...again I have no good advice but I hope everything smooths out okay. At least you're involved and I think everything will be okay.
Thanks Kate. I know no one can tell me what to do. It just helps to get it out. I feel bad for taking over this thread again But I can't stop myself.
Also, if anyone feels like I'm out of line in anything, it's ok to say so. I admit I'm so confused and frustrated, I doubt I'm really thinking clearly at this point. I'm trying to do my best, but I'm just lost as to what the 'right' answers are.
I'm really grateful to this school. The principal and her crew leader have both written me tonight. I remember when Jesi was missing, the principal wrote me at midnight. I have no doubt she has the kid's best interest at heart...and I don't think that woman sleeps!
Chrissy, get it out. You aren't out of line at all and we're all here for you.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
It's fine if you need to get it out! It's good for you.
I have no idea what it's like to parent teenagers...I don't know if it would be a bad idea for you to go to her and say you're really at a loss and that you love her and want her to be safe...I know my parents liked to make it look like they always knew what they were doing and I never felt like parenting was hard for them (I think that's why it was such a shock to me that it can be so difficult sometimes) but maybe if she feels like you're just truly concerned for her and you want her to make it through these years without too much damage, she'll soften up?
I did try that approach with her tonight Kate. Jesi tends to process things slowly, so I don't know if what I say has any impact on her at all or not. But I don't ever want my kids to doubt for a minute that I love them, so no matter how angry I get I make sure I tell them so. I've asked her, "What do you think we should do? You skipped school and you lied, there have to be consequences for that." She just shrugged, but I wanted her to have the opportunity to tell me her side. Unfortunately, she was tight lipped. I even said that if there's something else going on I can't help her if I don't know what it is. She looked at me and looked away. I suspect there is something, but I don't have a clue what it is.
OCD feeds on itself, creating reward-like little serotonin releases when a compulsion is completed (diffusing anxiety). Then after many repetitions, it makes the person need the compulsion to function without anxiety. After awhile extreme anxiety can occur over small changes to a person's routine. I'm guessing if Savana's problem is really OCD and not (as Lydia mentioned) the general obsessions and compulsions that most children have, it probably started with some anxiety about change in her life, then begin to take root as a compulsion that needs to be completed to assuage the anxiety.
I would really order the OCD workbook and read it for yourself. Obviously Savana's too young to read it, but you might be able to help her understand where her intrusive thoughts are coming from and how she can best deal with them, and maybe most importantly, help her figure out how to talk about what's going through her head.
My mom finally said that if I was going to cut classes that I needed l drop out and get my GED. She didn't mean it maliciously, she actually followed up by saying "Did you know 8 senators have GEDs instead of high school diplomas?" In the end that's what I did, leaving in my junior year and starting at a community college a year early. It was probably the one thing I can think of that turned my life around more than anything else.

DH has his GED and he has a decent job. He dropped out of high school when he was 16 and ran away to be with a girl he met from Tennessee. He actually wanted to go back to school in TN, but there was some law that if your parents didn't live in the same county, or state or something, you couldn't go to school there.
Kate, did you ever hear back from Josh's teacher about the little boy and Josh's hand?
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I'm glad you told her. She can watch out for it, at least.

Why oh why oh why did I make brown butter brownies? Get thee behind me, yummy Satan!.
I now know the secret to a good brownie: skip the vegetable oil and use butter, but brown the butter first. Adds a depth and savory note that are making it almost impossible for me to stop eating them. I may get through the whole pan by midnight.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
O.M.G. Want one of your brownies. Now.

Just try to remember it does get better...she won't be a teen forever. I admit that I like to watch the View and numerous times have heard Barbara Walters talk about how difficult her daughter was as a teen...running away, drugs, the works...but now they are very close and her daughter is a great person who does a lot of giving back.
chrissy, any chance you could maybe get her to do some volunteer work where she can actually see what it is like to be homeless...give her an idea where she could head if she keeps it up (not that you would actually have her be homeless but she might not have to know that). Or see what being in jail is like?
I really think that the biggest thing that stopped me from sleeping around was knowing first hand what AIDS looked likes. When I was about 16, my uncle was at some of his most sick times...and it was awful and just seeing how many drugs he had to take every day and the toll those took on him....I just knew that I would do whatever I could to avoid getting that.
Oh I just thought of something....would Jesi maybe feel more comfortable in writing? Maybe talking face to face is just too hard for her and maybe she could write you a letter and let you read that with her in another room?
Chrissy, would Jes feel more comfortable talking to one of her sisters or even one of the teachers instead of you? I know that a lot of times kids find it easier to talk to anyone other than their parents.
Molly/Bridget, I have OCD, too, and have controlled it with cognitive therapy. (I've had it all my life; I can remember being young and the behaviors I had then).
Katycat, those brownies sound awesome! I've only tried to make homemade brownies twice and failed each time, so I've stuck to Betty Crocker mixes since then. I might have to try again. I've actually been wanting to make a German Chocolate cake lately.
Ugh, I have a cold sore and it hurts! I've been so stressed out trying to arrange this USA trip we're doing this summer on top of trying to decide whether I'm going back to work or not this year; I feel like I just need to relax and sleep a while. If only!
Going to a 2-year college is kinda a mandatory thing for me. I know I can't make them, but I'm going to push as hard as I can to make them. If they go to college, I'll cover their car insurance and cell phones bills. If not, they're on their own and they will not live with us.
I have a GED too. I know it's not the end of the world. It's just not an option for my kids as long as I have any say about it.
I don't think she's having sex. I could be wrong, but we've talked a lot about that and she's afraid to right now. She knows I'm ok with it...I mean, I'm not 'ok' with it, but I'm a grown up with realistic expectations of adolescent girls. We've talked about emotions and protections and how boys will get what they want and run, and that's ok if you're emotionally 'there' too. Of course, she could be lying but hopefully if she's doing it she's protecting herself. She has access to everything she needs.

Woot woot! That's great news, Chrissy! I hope you get that house.
I should be cleaning but I am so not a cleaning kind of person. LOL. All my wood floors need washing...argh.
Good luck with the house!
Mmm, brownies. I was looking at the recipe for fudge on the jar of fluff, thinking, I could do that, all I need to get is condensed milk and chocolate. But I'm trying to get onto a better diet. I'm confused about it though and I'm unsure about what to cut out completely and what is okay in moderation. I've already sworn off drinking alcohol at home for at least the next couple months. I'll have a glass of wine or something if we go out.
Every body is different and will react differently to such things as fudge, so I'll just tell you what works for me. You can take my advice with a grain of salt.
If I were at the point where I was trying to lose weight, I wouldn't even make them. If I really had to have 1 piece, I'd go to a specialty shop and just buy one. But I know me, and I don't have the willpower to only have 1 if there's an entire pan there, and honestly, I don't think you'd be able to stretch a whole batch out and have it remain fresh if you only had 1 a week. When I'm in weight loss mode, I try very hard to not eat anything like that at all. The most I'd allow would be 1 piece of chocolate a week...but I try to avoid it. I went well over 6 months without junk before when I was over 170 lbs.
Even now that I'm within 10 lbs of my own ideal weight (and at a weight I can be happy with if I never lose another pound) I save batches of fudge for special occasions only...Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc. As long as I've 'been good' with my eating, when I have those things I'll eat 5 pieces if I feel like it and not feel a bit guilty. It doesn't really impact my weight either, because it's so rare that I have stuff like that in the house.
That's just how I do things for me.
Yeah, the fudge was a passing thought. I don't like sweets enough to make them (although DH and Josh would probably appreciate it)
I'm about 10 lbs. away from my goal weight too, but I mostly want to tone up. I should get some kind of workout routine going but I'm so bad at self-motivating that all I can muster up us 30-60 minutes on the treadmill a few days a week. I'm working on that though.
30-60 minutes on the treadmill a few times a week is fantastic!! The advice I got from other runners (experts, really) was to alternate with some weight training. One guy told me that he ran outdoors or on a treadmill religiously for months, but didn't start seeing any results until he added the weights to his regimen.
Well I would be thrilled if I was on a treadmill that much. I need to get back to exercise too. One thing I like is kettle bells....it's toning and aerobic all in one. Now to put in the DVD and actually do it a few times a week...different story. Once all the snow is melted and it's a bit warmer out, I would like to start walking Cosmo. She needs it and I need it. A year ago she was 21-22 lbs and is now about 26 lbs. It started once I got her on seizure medication. She isn't roly poly yet but when she jumps off the couch or bed, her landings are sounding too hard. I think that she needs to be more like 23-24 lbs. Plus I want to start to get to know the neighbors more so hopefully walking her around a lot will help with that.
Kate as for foods...each person is different and will have different triggers. I'm with you on the alcohol. I like to have a drink or two at night and if it is in the house, I want it. Pasta is a big one for me and certain sweets (which I don't usually keep in the house)....and leftovers. I'm bad with going in and snacking on some cold pizza, cold mac and cheese, cold spaghetti, that sort of thing. Now DH is totally different, his are snacky salty things like nuts, pretzels, chex mix, goldfish. Cashews cannot be kept in the house.
I like veggies and fruit...but not what I tend to grab to snack on if there is cold spaghetti in there.
Kate, I think you really have to start doing some weight training. It is fabulous for weight loss and toning. Gah, I miss working out.
I forgot to tell you guys that I successfully took all 3 kids to the library on saturday. This was a huge accomplishment for me. I was so worried and everything went fantastic.
I've been up since 3am with Sawyer and am doing the daycare full time on my own now...plus had a new 2 year old child start today.
I'm tired.
That's awesome that you all went to the library Bridget! That must have been fun.
Thanks for the advice. I used to walk at a really steep incline at about 3 mph until I realized that hanging on for dear life doesn't burn as many calories as the readout tells you. So now I put the incline at about 4 or as high as I can go without having to put a lot of weight on my hands (I still have to hold on because I have balance problems) and I go at 2.5-2.7ish mph. It tells me I burned 200 calories in about 45 minutes. I think weight training is so boring. Honestly I can barely make it through the treadmill walks.
Pasta and bread are my problems. I don't know if there's a reasonable amount I can eat or if I should really eliminate it, especially since my favorites are white bread (like French bread) and white pasta.
She's been being sent to her room for 2 minutes every single time she talks rudely to us. Maybe one out of five times she gets sent, she goes in and comes out in two minutes. The other four times she freaks. She repeats over and over, "I wanna come out. I wanna come out. I wanna come out." And when I tell her her two minutes does not start until she is calm she screams, "I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to do that..." over and over again. And I'm talking that she is screaming this in a rage. I hate it so much. I feel like she really doesn't know how and when I try to help her she just argues with every single thing I say. so I don't know if I am supposed to ignore her or try to coach her. It's like she's lost her mind for a minute.
She's gotten to wear she won't pick certain things up with her hands. She will try to use her feet. She asks me to feed her certain things but other things she eats and gets messy no problem. Do I feed her when she asks? Do I pick things up for her that she won't touch?
I need to find a dr I trust.
I have no clue about her hesitance to touch certain things or how to handle it. I would definitely look for a good dr. Poor little girl

Do Wall Street expectations have any influence on the company?
Is the company forecasting another round of buyouts or will there be a period of hiring?
Ford says net income rose 15 percent in the first quarter to $1.6 billion as record North American profits overcame weakness in Europe and South America.Revenue rose 10 percent to $35.8 billion.
Ford Motor Co. earned $2.4 billion in North America, where sales of its F-Series trucks and Fusion sedan and Escape SUV have been strong.
That offset a $462 million loss in Europe, where Ford's sales fell 20 percent during the quarter.

only was Duluth's water recently voted best tasting in Minnesota, this
University of Florida study indicates that Duluth has the best fresh
water availability in the country. In fact, we set the standard with a
score of 100 - only two other cities scored better than 50, and over
half of the 225 cities have a score less than 1.
The obvious
advantage is Lake Superior, but this study also takes into account the
robustness of our water system, and the ability to reliably deliver to
our customers.
We are blessed with this tremendous resource -
may we never take it for granted. In the next 20 years the futures of
entire metro areas will be put in question because of the lack of
reliable fresh water.
So pour yourself a glass of Minnesota's
best tasting and America's most abundant fresh water and give thanks for
the blessing of this amazing natural resource that we all enjoy
straight from the tap.
-Duluth Mayor Don Ness

text: With grass three feet tall, the Dequindre-Emery Playlot on Detroit's east side had become grossly overgrown.George Beaird finally said enough is enough. With his personal mower, a Father's Day gift, he has been cutting the grass for four days straight."I'm just a one man army. I want to get it done. I won't stop, and it's all go, no quit," he said.Then that one man army got some recruits."He was one guy with one lawn mower, so I figured I'd go get my lawnmower and help," said Shayel Jackson.Several neighbors decided to pitch in, raking and bagging the grass, mowing the taller weeds in the back and even cleaning up and mowing outside the fence."It's our neighborhood. We've got to take back our neighborhood. The city won't help us do it sometimes, so the neighbors got to get out here, and they got to help out," Jackson said."Sow a seed, you'll get a seed," Beaird said. "Our children need to have the best so they can grow up and they can give back also."The team of volunteer mowers still has quite the task before them. Beaird hopes to turn the park over to neighborhood kids on Sunday morning.

Comments On Apr 17, 2014:On a 125 2-stroke weight (especially unsprung weight) is everything. Many people dont often consider the weight of tires and tubes. Thick tubes are great for the trail, but they are heavy. For MX only, this is a nice balance of protection to weight. These get the job done with minimal weight compared to others.

Comments On Apr 09, 2014:Good spare tube. It's not heavy duty but a good trail spare, especially if you seem to hand them out to others who forget to carry one.

Comments On Mar 29, 2014:Came in fast fit perfectly
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 11, 2014:The good: The tube is not a heavy-duty tube so it's easy to install and light to pack.
The bad: The tube is not a heavy-duty tube so it's not as durable as thicker tubes
I've got into the habit of using heavy duty tubes when doing work in the garage, but using non-heavy duty tubes for spares. They are easier to stuff into the tire and lighter and more compact to bring as a spare. Will buy again.

7 tips for the 21 year old me
7 TIPS FOR THE 21-YEAR-OLD ME by Bobby Chiu
When I was a student in college working on my skills as a character designer, I'd had periods where I would sit at my desk working as hard as I could but having little to show for my efforts at the end of the day. I remember sitting there surrounded by blank pieces of paper, trying to come up with an amazing style that nobody had ever seen before. I would do one drawing and not be satisfied, so I would lay a new piece of paper over it, re-draw it with slight changes to features here and there. This would still not be good enough so I would put another piece of paper over my revision, make more minor adjustments trying to perfect this new style I was searching for.
I did this for weeks on end, tweaking and polishing over and over, working hard every day. But in the end, did I come up with a brand new style, something amazing that

To depression, for creating days without endWake up to the realization that you've been awake
for seconds, minutes, hours.
You've been awake in this warm, dark room
and you don't know how long it's been
but now you're conscious
and it starts again--
the pain, strong and steady, in your chest.
You gain consciousness in this too warm morning
and your thoughts whir in endless loops
because it's either that or face the weight in your chest.
Light breaks though the window, soft and unwelcome
but you take it as a reluctant gift--
a new distraction from the feelings awake in your chest.
Awake, but not conscious.
So you think yourself in circles a little while longer
waiting for those quiet pains
(the constant reminder)
to gain consciousness.

BA/MA in Finance
On April 15, 2011, the CMC faculty approved the BA/MA in Finance program (BA/MA) that enables students to complete the requirements of both a CMC bachelor's degree and master's degree simultaneously and within a total of four years. This program is currently only open to CMC students.
Completion of a CMC undergraduate degree requires a minimum of 32 credit hours. Completion of the MA in Finance degree as a separate one-year program requires a minimum of 9 graduate credits. Completion of the BA/MA program requires a minimum of 36 credit hours, including one full summer internship credit. As many as 4 MA classes may also satisfy undergraduate degree requirements. Completion of the 36 credit hours, therefore, requires some combination of transfer credits, summer school credits and/or overloading of courses. Please see the CMC catalog for additional details, including requirements for credits earned at CMC.
The admission deadline for the Class of 2017 is October 15, 2014. All BA/MA applicants will apply using the Scholars application (see Scholars selection site: http://www.cmc.edu/rdschool/academic/scholars/selection/) and not the graduate admission application site.The Graduate Academic Director or Academic Coordinator will become your academic advisor upon enrollment. For CMC students, the GMAT/GRE, essay and application fee requirements are waived. The cover letter explaining the desire to participate remains a requirement. The alumni interview may be conducted as an on-campus interview. Admission in the graduate program will continue to be required prior to enrollment in any graduate course. The online application will be available after September 1st.
Leadership Development Activities
Students admitted into the BA/MA program will be required to fully participate in Scholars leadership development activities, to include the three-week, intensive seminar immediately prior to the start of the fall semester senior year. The timing of these requirements, as well as the internship requirement, will be determined in advising based on your course map.
Career Development/Service Support
BA/MA students will receive Career Services support consistent with that of fellow Robert Day Scholars (undergraduate or graduate) students.
Additional Information
If you have specific questions about the BA/MA in Finance program, please contact the RDS Director of Admission, Kevin Arnold at firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Here's the situation: My parent's will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year. As a gift for their 1956 wedding they received a bottle of Paul Masson California Zinfandel, no vintage. They held onto the wretched bottle all these many years. No question the wine is bad. It was poorly stored and not age worthy to begin with. I don't intend to serve it to them, or anyone else. My plan was to scan the label and then to place copies of that "Paul Masson" label on bottles of another, better red Zinfandel, stripped of original labels, to be served to guests at the open house. The rub is that when I told my friendly wine distributor of my idea he said that it was probably against the law on several levels. Drats! Should I plow ahead and hope the Feds don't come after me, or should I move to "plan B"? Note that there is no "plan B" at present.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection Coming in Spring 2011Sony has confirmed that the HD revamps of Team Ico's PlayStation 2 classics Ico and Shadow of the Colossus will be coming to North American and European PS3s next year on a single Blu-ray disc--unlike in Japan, where they're being released individually.
As well as supporting HD resolutions, the pair will boast PlayStation Network trophies and support for 3D-o-vision. According to Kotaku, the games will run at 30fps and have gone through what the site calls "extensive re-texturing." Ico will be the European edition, which had extra content including a different ending and a co-op mode.
The Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection is due on PlayStation 3 in spring 2011.

Bridget, I thought some more about Savana and her cousin, and one thing does bother me...the fact that she's keeping a secret. I've always been very uncomfortable about secrets and when the girls were little (and now with Conner) I told them that there are never any secrets in families that love each other. We talked about 'good secrets' like surprise birthday parties and how they would be the only ones to keep...but if there was anything about the secret that could make anyone feel bad, then it should be talked about.
The more I think about this, the more worried I am about what might have been said to her that she's afraid to tell you.

Customizing SMF > Forks Discussion
About my SMF fork (yes, another one)
<< < (3/20) > >>
click *like* :P
Good that the challenge is on. :)
But really though, one of the strengths, IMHO anyway, of SMF(at least partly and def. more in the beginning than later years) was that graphics/UI/coding/framework was done by different people,good at what they did and allowed some freedom in it. One man project implies strength in ALL these displines..thats hard to come by, if not impossible. For example, Wedge doesn't strike me as very exciting graphicwise - maybe becasue they want to control it all? Not their fault, and that can be good in itself. But with a good graphic person and without any of the coders interfering too much, it would be a better project. Well, IMHO anyway, but this is not about them.
So thats why i am curious on who you are, Femshep - or if there are more people involved.And why I put the "challenge" out there. ;)
So Bloc is saying that he wants to be your designer. :D
I know Femshep pretty well, and he/she can most definitely hand both ends of the project.
Angelina Belle:
I'm still in the dark. Come back with more information, and we'll list your fork. If you give it an open-source license, we'll link to it.

If you have a black belt in Black Friday shopping, listen up: Johns Creek-area big-box retailers are gearing up to dazzle bargain hunters even earlier this year—starting on Thanksgiving Day!
Walmart announced that it would open its doors at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 22 and offer holiday doorbusters while supplies last. These include deals on TVs, iPads, an electric scooter for $79 and a steam mop for $39.
Not to be outdone, Target and Best Buy are also planning all-out holiday shopping assaults.
Target's deals begin at 9 p.m. According to an ad leaked online, the best deals will be for TVs, a Nook, a Nikon camera and an XBOX 360 Kinect bundle.
At Best Buy, doors open at midnight. Doorbusters include deals on TVs, phones and Samsung laptop bundles.
Walmart will offer its biggest deals from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving night. The store will offer three items at low prices—an iPad, a TV and a Blu-ray player. If the store runs out, you can still buy them at discounted prices but you must register for them online by midnight and have them delivered to your local store.
According to TheBlackFriday.com, several other stores will also have doorbuster sales on Thursday night or at midnight on Friday, including Kohl's.
For the early morning traditionalists, some stores will open at 4 a.m. with special sales. If you want to keep up with all of the Black Friday deals, you can check your favorite retailers' Facebook pages.
Want to avoid the holiday shopping mega-crowds altogether? Look for Cyber Monday deals on Nov. 26 or visit your local mom-and-pop retailers on Small Business Saturday on Nov. 24.
TELL US: Do you participate in Black Friday, Small Business Saturday or Cyber Monday? If so, where do you find the best deals? Share in the comments below.

Publication: The Day
Those who wish to take guns away from law-abiding gun owners, be careful what you wish for. Newtown was a terrible tragedy but it was not committed by a law-abiding gun owner but rather by a mentally deranged individual. Likewise were the perpetrators in Columbine, Virginia Tech, and Aurora, which incidentally were "Gun Free Zones."
Immediately following Newtown, the anti-gun politicians began to attack our Second Amendment rights. There was minimum discussion about keeping the criminals and mentally ill individuals from getting guns, there was no discussion about the impact of violent movies and video games, or the anti-depression drugs that these mass shooters have in common. There was only proposed legislation against gun owners.
If you legislate away the guns, the only people with guns will be the thugs, criminals and lunatics, because they don't follow the law. Then all households will be sitting ducks living in a "Gun Free Zone."
Right now, the criminals have no idea which households are armed. That uncertainty protects all people and their homes.
Why don't the anti-gun extremists post a visible sign in front of their residence that says "Gun Free House" so they no longer benefit from gun owners? That seems fair to me.
What do you think about Defense Secretary Panetta lifting a ban on women in combat?

It was the best experience I have had with a storage company, Mr. Ray was very attentive, informative and even offer and brought me and daugther water to our storage unit. It was a very very hot day, and we greatly appreicated his thoughtfulness.

I can't say enough good things about this company. I had my unit almost 3yrs and I never had a problem. When I was moving out I didn't have anyone to help me on that last day and I called and was told that I had until the 5th of the month to empty it out. She was so nice about it and I was so glad to have the extra days.Sarah from D. S., LA

E3 2011: Super Mario 3DS
QUICKTAKE: 3DS has been home to a number of heavy-hitters from Nintendo's pantheon of franchises. But, it's been missing the most important one of them all: Mario. The new Super Mario game for 3DS, developed by the same team responsible for Super Mario Galaxy, is a defining game for the platform and helps sell how 3D can not only enhance, but be a vital part of, gameplay.
THE DEMO: There are four small levels playable in the E3 demo. Each of the levels takes advantage of 3D in different ways, thanks to some very clever camera work. One level in particular stunned: a Mario Bros. 3-inspired warship with spiked pistons that literally jump out of the screen. I had access to the Fire Suit, but I ended up playing almost exclusively with the Tanooki suit. But, can you blame me?
DETAILS: Every Mario game makes references to the classics before it. Super Mario is no different, taking many elements from Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario 64. The Tanooki suit is an obvious throwback to the classic NES game, while the overall look is reminiscent of the N64 launch title. But while Super Mario is rooted in nostalgia, there are many subtle tweaks that make it feel like an entirely new experience.
The controls, for example, are much slower than in previous Mario games. Mario feels less nimble in this version: you'll have to hold down a button to run, you'll have to charge a backflip, and even your long jump just doesn't go as far. I'm not entirely sure why these changes were made, and they're not for the better or worse.What really sets Super Mario apart is how it takes advantage of the 3D screen. There's countless "wow" moments that really sold me on 3D. What drives the experience is an optimized placement of the camera. The default view is set very low, to make Mario appear as if he's in a 2D platformer. Because of the low angle of the camera, you can clearly make out depth and judge what's in the distance. Many items and routes will be hidden behind other objects, and turning on the 3D makes a significant difference in your ability to make jumps and find those hidden items.
The 3D effect becomes even more pronounced when the game switches to a top-down perspective. Seeing Mario literally jump out of the screen is very fun. And once again, the game plays with multiple layers and depth in order to create an experience that I haven't seen before. Like Galaxy before it, Super Mario is a champion of clever level design.
Of course, if you're in the small (but still sizable) group of people that simply can't see 3D images (like Johnny Depp), Super Mario's cleverness will be entirely lost on you. In fact, given how much of the game relies on 3D, you might not be able to play it all.

Lightlife review and a Raw experiment..
Pretty gross, huh? This is a Raw experiment... I am soaking steel cut oats, blueberries, cashews, cinnamon and stevia for 18 hours.... then tomorrow morning I will blend in my food processor (if I can stomach it early before work)... Unfortunately I have NO golden flax meal in the house.. I intended on putting that in there to create a raw mock rice pudding type thing... I am aware that many people don't consider steel cut oats or "raw" oats, "RAW", but I am not going that far... I've decided that my RAW challenge will be a HIGH RAW... I will still eat nutritional yeast, miso, raw nuts that I purchase from the health food store, vinegars, olives and pickles.... otherwise I don't think I could do it... so, this is my first experiment... I officially start July 1st... but want to spend the next month or so moving in the direction of raw foods.
Sunday is my last day here at the beach.... Wow... time flies! I am thrilled that my kids will be with me again.... and I'll only be 5 miles away from the beach....

Raw oat pudding, eh? Do report back with the results of the experiment!! I'm 75% raw, and it works fabulously for me - good luck with YOUR raw journey, when you begin!ReplyDelete
GORGEOUS beach scene - wow!
i'm interested in raw diet, though i'm not planning to go 100% raw. let me know how the experiment went!ReplyDelete
I am excited to know the results of the experiment...ReplyDelete
Good Luck on your move :]
I'm trying to lean more to raw, but there is no way I could go 100% raw (I think I'd go just a little bit nutty/paranoidish about it, and way too preachy). I love reading about your raw recipes/tests.ReplyDelete
And I'm so happy you'll be with your kids & have the beach so close!
I know what you mean about mock meat products... I like seitan okay, but if it's in a cutlet form (or anything in a cutlet form), it weirds me out. Maybe I just wasn't raised on strips of meat in my food! Anyway, I also like your version of a raw diet, that seems MUCH more enjoyable than the strict kind.ReplyDelete
I'm with you on the Lightlife chicken strips - they remind me of dried up, gummy caulk, blech!ReplyDelete
Anyway, the beach photo is gorgeous, I'm envious that you'll be so close to the beach! Good for you!
I'm totally with your on the fake meats. The "meaty" texture is too much for me!ReplyDelete
I like those strips, although I do think they are a bit salty.ReplyDelete
How lucky you are to be living so close to the beach!
Congratulations on the move Melody. I hope it goes really well for you! How awesome to be living so close to both your kids and the beach.ReplyDelete
Your photos are beautiful, and I look forward to hearing more about your raw challenge.
It's funny--I love those strips. I think they're one of LL's better products.ReplyDelete
The beach shot is pretty, but I'm so happy for you that you'll be closer to your kidlets.
Good luck with the move!!ReplyDelete
My husband loves that lightlife smart strips, probably uz he misses meat as well (he's still an omnivore). I don't mind the chicken ones, but can't stand the steak flavor. Ick.
I love those strips but since getting a kazillion pounds of soy curls I haven't bought them in a while.ReplyDelete
Good luck with your raw experiment. I can't wait to hear all about it. I don't think I would ever want to eat an all raw diet but I'm definitely interested in eating more raw food.
