What would you do IF given a second chance?
Phew, LIFE !
Life is such a roller coaster ride that once the ride is over; we tend to analyze what went wrong or what could we have done in that situation so, that the result would be different.
Ponder upon...
This is an exciting phase of life that we ALL are living where opportunities seldom knock on our door TWICE. But, what IF we would get to live that situation again in this lifetime? What IF we get a second chance to do something different than what we did last time? Would we grasp it?
Sure, we all would love to grasp it and ride it once more with a different perception so that the output would be so much as to; what WE want or what we DESIRE.
But, the BIGGEST problem in our lives is the AWARENESS.
We are so busy in our routine and so engulfed in our past and our future that we do not realize when the opportunity knocks on our door. We have to be aware and conscious and be in the present moment when the opportunity comes so that we grab it and can make a difference in our lives.
An Example
A classic example that I have been experiencing in my daily life is the words I speak to the people around me. The style of my speech can sometimes hurt people. I am aware of its consequences and many a times I have assessed myself after seeing the reaction on my friend's faces. Then I realize the impact of my words spoken and feel bad.
Just as spilled milk can only be wiped but not collected back into the glass the same way, words spoken cannot be put back in one's mouth.
What has been uttered...is uttered and there is no going back. Alas!
So, when given a second chance to interact with that person...should I be aware of what I did earlier or should I react immediately? Should I act with my Gut Feeling or should I think twice of the consequences I had faced earlier which made me think twice of my actions and made me feel that what IF I had acted in a different situation.
Attached below is my hub on Gut Feeling...what is Gut feeling and why does man tend to react more with their Guts rather than their brains.
- Gut Feeling
Ever wonder how many times we have acted from our Gut rather than responded back with our brains? Ponder over it and read this hub getting into the details of it and seeing it's effect.
Conclusion & Ponder upon...
Ideally, Life would not be FUN if, we keep getting second chances in life.
But, there are some moments in life, which I feel come not only twice but thrice.
However, the key words to making them last longer and with sweet memories is to be in the moment and react from the mind rather than react suddenly and then thinking of it's consequences.
Great hub, living amends keep my conscience clean.
Ha ha Ruchira, I'm not that lucky. Either I'm a fool or I am unlucky or both. I can't read things and give much pain to myself. Anyway your hub says about second chances. I'll thank life if I get it. Your hubs are my favorite destination. I learn much from them. Keep teaching,
Ruchira, life gives many chances but we ignore them. I read your hub again and found it much useful now also as I had found it 3 months back.
Before an act, if we ponder for a moment, on the consequence of the act, things come out quite different, and often at optimum level.
we are all a function of or total experiences ruchira and so at all moments everything is new and yet every moment is a second chance.
if given a second chance one does not how one would behave because that would be a function of the experience input at that moment of time. but yet yes awareness helps to make us all better over time.
Dear Ruchira,
I have gone through your very imaginative hub and found myself being analyzed in such a way that I compared the life with the game of cricket. I found myself batting and if a catch is dropped, it is not necessary that the another will be dropped. Whenever it is taken my game is finished. Doing wrong is not wise. Every opportunity of the life must be availed with the aim to get maximum favorable result as much as we can. Overall, a thoughtful and an awesome hub you have written.
Namaskar. Your topics are sublime and your thoughts profound. You always write on things that are in our mind but we tend to forget them. Thanks for sharing. Namaskar and Happy Diwali to you and your family.
....your hubs..... your writing .... your thoughts ...are always so provocative and inspiring to the epi-man ....you're making me think and you challenge to go to places I've never been before ....
I'd definitely listen to my inner voice and Not have married the ex husband. I had my doubts but ignored them. Big mistake. Good hub.
Carpe diem!
Haha! Sorry Ruchira - I guess I was a little vague:)
Awareness is key, and something that all of could use a little work on. With being aware come living in the moment, and to live in the moment, we all could use with a little technological disconnect. Awareness, living in the moment, both of these would go a long way in making the world a better place. Great inspirational hub! I look forward to reading more by you!
I too believe that Awareness is something that we could use more of in the world. People just aren't aware of things like how bad they drive when talking on a cell phone, how they are actually attractive to others, how others actually notice when they slack off at work, and that in fact they are thirsty, not hungry, so eating that snack isn't going to be good for them.
I don't think I made that much sense there, but I'm trying to say: I agree.
Hi, Ruchira. If there would be a second chance and a life after death, I would change a few things in my life. It´s a great hub. Thanks for sharing.
i have a chance to do everything i want .
I believe we get second chances in our lives, constantly. Only problem is, we're not always 'aware' of it....
Very interesting read, I enjoyed it very much thank you!
Very thought provoking. Wouldn't the world be grand if we could push a button, delete our mistakes and try again.
Boy!! Did this make me think..Many times, i've said something that i wished i could take back the moment it left my mouth. I've been reading about reincarnation and i hope it's true..I would love to come back again, knowing what i know now, i would hope that i would make better decisions. I like your Hub..Very thought provoking. Thank you.
Speaking, typing, I do wish you could un-ring a bell sometimes! Great hub.
There are way too many moments that I wish I could have a do over for. Words that left my mouth without thinking, actions that escaped without realizing the consequences. Yet, while I would love to have a do over... I am glad because they have all been learning experiences for me.
Great hub! Made me think!
Everybody learn by experience.

NPD numbers for March 2017 are in and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands was the best selling game for the period. The highly anticipated open world tactical shooter beat out some stiff competition for the month, including the very successful Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
That also makes it two months in a row for Ubisoft, whose historical fighting game For Honor was the best selling game for February. What made For Honor's debut impressive, though, was the fact it released almost two-thirds through February, whereas Wildlands hit very early in March.
No doubt there was a lot of anticipation surrounding Ghost Recon: Wildlands heading into launch, but interest seems to have tapered off some since then. Those that are still invested in the world, though, have a new Narco Road DLC to enjoy later this month.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild March Sales
For Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the second place showing is slightly surprising, if only because Nintendo's new exclusive has been selling extremely well. In fact, Breath of the Wild sold so well that gamers bought Switch copies of the game without actually owning a Switch yet.
Of course, a console exclusive is unlikely to outsell a multiplatform release, but Zelda still did well for the month and should continue to sell well throughout the rest of the year. That's assuming Nintendo can keep Switch consoles well stocked from now until the fall.
March 2017 Game Sales Top 10
- Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- Mass Effect: Andromeda
- Horizon: Zero Dawn
- MLB 17: The Show
- Grand Theft Auto 5
- For Honor
- NieR: Automata
- Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Other notable entries on the top 10 games for March 2017 list include Mass Effect: Andromeda, MLB 17: The Show, and NieR: Automata. It might not be worth reading into Andromeda's place at number 3 since the game released so late in the month, but the negative word of mouth heading into launch could have played a part. We will have to wait and see where the title ranks in April to better understand if BioWare's latest stumbled on the sales front.
The NPD group also echoed prior revelations that March was a huge month for Nintendo on the hardware front. According to them, the Switch launch was the biggest for any Nintendo console and the second best for any platform in history. Much like Zelda, the Switch has been a hot commodity since launch and will likely continue to be for the rest of the year.
Overall, it was a strong March for game sales, which continues the year's trend of top tier releases. Admittedly, things will slow down a bit as we head into summer and E3, but March was certainly a high point filled with lots of competition.

When law enforcement agencies set up sobriety checkpoints, signs are supposed to be posted, and in California it's legal to turn away from a sobriety checkpoint if you don't violate any traffic laws. You can proceed through a checkpoint or legally turn to avoid it, but those are your only choices. What you can't do at a DUI checkpoint is crash into it. Unfortunately for 29-year-old James A. Gates, that's exactly what he did at a sobriety checkpoint in San Clemente in February. Fortunately, no one was injured. Mr. Gates was arrested on suspicion of DWI. If you're arrested for DWI in Orange County – at a sobriety checkpoint or anywhere else – get legal help at once. Contact an experienced Orange County DUI defense attorney immediately.
Of course, the best way to avoid being charged with DUI is simply this; don't drink before driving. If you're going to enjoy several drinks with friends, plan ahead. If you designate a driver, make it someone you know and trust. If you rely on a friend of a friend, you may have an undependable ride. Some other alternatives are limos, taxis, and buses. You might want to check into the more-or-less-still-new ride-sharing apps and services like Uber and Lyft. These services will charge you a few dollars, but that's simply the price of enjoying alcohol; the consequences of a DWI conviction in California are far more costly. Of course, the one certain way to avoid a DWI arrest is to stay sober. It's worth thinking about. You certainly don't want to find yourself crashing into a sobriety checkpoint or endangering yourself or others.
Frankly, with so many ride services and options now available, there's really no reason to be charged with DWI in southern California. But if you have one too many and get stopped by the police at the wrong time and place, you won't be alone. Good, responsible people make mistakes too. If you make one, and you're charged with DUI in Orange County, speak to an experienced Orange County DWI defense attorney right away.

Gulf Stream Coach reported this week that retail sales for its travel trailer and fifth-wheel combined brands in September ranked No. 1 in the latest report from Statistical Surveys Inc.
"The entry level and lightweight products have done particular well this year," according to Phil Sarvari, executive vice president. Gulf Stream moved up from No. 6 in September 2008. Gulf Stream's combined brand beat out the next best selling brand by 34 units in that month, according to a press release.
"There has been a year of many achievements at Gulf Stream and we are very excited about the new 'value packed' and innovative products we are introducing at Louisville this year," added Sarvari. "We want to thank all of our dealers over this past year and the 32 new dealers that have joined our team recently."
Meanwhile, Gulf Stream is reintroducing its Sun Voyager Class A motorhome at a lower price point than ever offered before, according to a news release.
"We believe this coach will actually kick start the 2010 selling season by giving dealers an extremely affordable and bankable product," said Brian Shea, president Gulf Stream Motorized Division. "With unique product design and high-end features at an affordable retail price, the Sun Voyager is sure to create the sales opportunities all dealers need right now."
The 2010 Sun Voyager will be available in three models: 30-foot with three slides and an atrium room, 34-foot with bunk beds and 32-foot double slide. The starting price point is $93,219 MSRP with many upgraded features considered standard. The Sun Voyager will have 7-foot interior ceilings; hardwood cabinets, doors and stiles; basement storage; and bus-style storage doors.
The chassis on this feature-rich motorhome is a 20,500-pound GVWR Ford F-53 with a V10 engine. "The market is looking at price and features. The Sun Voyager has been designed to turn quickly for the dealers and create a lot of gross margin," said Claude Donati, vice president, Gulf Stream Coach. "Customers are looking for those products that can easily be financed and will not break the bank. The Sun Voyager is that product in 2010."

What: dry surface brushing of the skin, enough pressure to make your skin slightly pink, but not enough to cause pain or discomfort. Always brush toward the heart and lymphatic drainage sites. Used historically in India, China, Japan, ancient Greece, and by Native Americans.
Why: Dry brushing removes dead skin cells, reduces celulite, improves circulation, muscle tone, and oil gland production. It is also helpful in detoxifying the lymphatic system, strengthening the immune response and stimulating hormone glands.
How: Brushes are the traditional tool, but anything from washcloths to exfoliating gloves will work. Dry brushing creates better contact and skin response than wet (wait to bathe till after brushing so that any exfoliating of dead skin cells can be washed off). Start at the ankles, move up with long strokes and shorter circular strokes at the joints, arms and torso brush towards the heart.

So I promised you I would show you what my kitchen looked like before it had a make-over, and I thought it would also be fun to show you what a few other rooms in my house look liked before they had some TLC. My home is a work in progress and that is part of the fun. I don't ever start a project and think to myself, "well that is it, I will never be changing that again"! Even when I was painting my cabinet doors in 100 degree heat, I was already planning on what color I would paint them again in the future! (but believe me that is not happening any time soon) But it is fun to know that I could if I wanted to. So here they are, and I am cringing as I look at these, but they have come a long way. And just a little tease for you, I am working on my master bedroom, and the big reveal for that is on its way! So stay tuned!
P.S. If you are not follow my blog via email, please do!!! I would love to reach my goal of 100 followers via email this year, I am at 39 now, and when I reach 100 I will give away $100!

5 Ways Dogs Help Veterans With PTSD
A pet can make anyone happy, but pet ownership can be especially helpful for veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Many veterans returning home from overseas have experienced horrible situations that later cause PTSD.
Many different types of therapy can help treat the flashbacks, anxiety, depression, numbness, nightmares and other symptoms that characterize PTSD. While traditional therapy can be extremely beneficial, some veterans have difficulty accessing it in the VA system, or difficulty admitting the need for therapy.
It's important to seek out professional help for PTSD, but veterans may also want to consider getting a pet. Psychology researchers have started to recognize the therapeutic benefits of owning a dog. No matter if it's a Pomeranian or a Pit Bull, adopting a dog can be surprisingly helpful for veterans with PTSD. Here are five ways dogs can help turn your life around:
Get active. Dogs help you get out of the house, get active and meet new people. Depression and anxiety can make veterans want to stay cooped up inside, but that only lets these conditions worsen. Dogs need a lot of exercise, which is the perfect reason for owners to get out of the house. The act of simply leaving the house can boost your mood, but getting exercise in the process is also a great way to fight depression.
Rebuild trust. Dog ownership helps those living with PTSD rebuild trust. Dogs are loyal and always there for you. Because the ability to trust is often damaged by PTSD, knowing you can depend on your dog can help you learn to trust people again, too.
Give more love. Dogs bring out feelings of affection, and they love unconditionally. A lot of people with PTSD are ashamed of their condition or the way it affects their interactions with other people. Having a bad day can push loved ones away, but a dog will always be there.
Transition to civilian life. Dogs can be trained and take orders well, which is especially helpful for veterans who are used to giving orders. Authoritativeness often doesn't has a place in civilian life, which can be a hard thing for veterans to adjust to. Having a dog to train can give veterans an opportunity to use their command skills in a constructive way.
Feel protected. Dogs make you feel safe and protected. Nightmares, traumatic flashbacks, anxiety and depression from PTSD can make you feel vulnerable. Dogs are always by your side, reminding you that you're not alone. Larger dogs such as German Shepherds can also protect you. Even if you're never in a situation where that's necessary, it's a comforting feeling.
How To Adopt A Dog
Adopting a dog is a big decision and should not be taken lightly. Dogs do help with PTSD, but it's important to consider whether you are ready and able to take care of a pet before adopting. If you are ready to adopt, there are many organizations that connect veterans to pet adoption agencies and other pet ownership resources. Pets For Patriots or Vets Adopt Pets may be good places to start. A local animal shelter or animal rescue charity can also help you get started.
Veterans who served as K-9 handlers in the military often look for ways to be reunited with the animals they served with. Some veterans have to wait for their companion to be released from military service before they can be adopted. One such veteran is Lance Cpl. David Pond, who had to wait years to be reunited with his dog. Read his inspiring story and learn how he made it possible here.
Veterans who have received a disability rating for their PTSD may also be able to obtain a service dog for their condition. It's well-known that service dogs can have a positive effect on veterans with physical disabilities. The VA recognizes this and often covers the service animal for these veterans. However, the benefits of service dogs for veterans with PTSD and other "invisible" wounds are not in the forefront.
According to statistics from K9s For Warriors, a nonprofit that pairs combat veterans with service dogs, 92 percent of the veterans were able to reduce their medication or stop taking medication altogether within 6 months of graduating from their dog-pairing program.
Until VA policies shift to recognize that service dogs provide tangible assistance to those with PTSD, veterans can look into receiving a service dog from one of many nonprofits. Organizations such as Paws for Veterans, This Able Veteran and K9s For Warriors provide service animals to veterans at little or no cost.
Help Disabled Veterans With A Car Donation
A great way to help veterans with disabilities is to donate your car to Vehicles For Veterans. The proceeds from your vehicle donation go to programs for disabled veterans. We accept nearly all vehicles, regardless of age or condition.
To donate your car, please call 1-855-811-4838 or fill out an online car donation form. We provide free towing, a tax deduction and a great way to give back to disabled veterans!

Hmmmm. I guess that freewriting really is an excellent activity (though I didn't really doubt this), because in six minutes of noodling around trying to describe an as-yet-incomplete-and-therefore-somewhat-hypothetical book chapter, I think I realized something fundamentally important about an argument I'm trying to make about medieval masculine identity (part of what I'm working on). Seriously, trying to sum up chapters that don't yet fully exist is turning out to be a truly valuable and revealing enterprise, because I keep having to distill everything to its essence and in so doing, I articulate arguments that I didn't quite realize I was making. It's pretty awesome.
Anyway, this really important revelation (with which I'm totally thrilled) has led to a related question about terminology, and I decided I would throw it open to the interwebs - to anyone and everyone, as I'm honestly interested in all opinions here, not just medievalists' or academics', because it's a question of terminology and I want to know how this terminology reads to everyone (I mean, I'll be lucky if this book is of interest to anyone other than the six people working in this field, but I can pretend it will be of broader interest):
How do you define "bourgeois"? Edited for clarity: Thank you for the responses so far! I'm really interested in it both as an adjective and a noun.
(I know all about dictionaries and all that, but I really want to see leaps to people's minds when they see the term before I use it. In the interest of full disclosure, I've carefully avoided it to this point, but I want to make sure that's been an appropriate choice.)

The Origins of 'Horn OK Please,' India's Most Ubiquitous Phrase
Why all of the trucks in India bear one seemingly nonsensical expression.
Driving in India is a loud experience, to say the least.
One of the characteristic traits of Indian roads is the sound of honking car horns, which provide a constant cacophony of noise. In 2015, the transportation department of Maharashtra, the state containing the city of Mumbai, attempted to diminish the noise pollution caused by the honking by outlawing a phrase found on the back of almost all Indian trucks: "Horn OK Please."
It is unclear whether the ubiquitous sign actually contributes to drivers honking their horns more, though the government of Maharashtra certainly seems to think there is a connection. The phrase itself, however, is intriguing for two reasons: the first being that it doesn't seem to make grammatical sense, and the second for the question it raises—why would Indian trucks be encouraging drivers to honk their horns?
One possible reason for "Horn OK Please" is pretty instinctive. As Kenneth Rapoza notes in this Forbes article about horn honking in India, Indian drivers rarely use their side mirrors, and instead use horns to indicate when they are about to overtake a car. Trucks, in particular, are often not even equipped with side mirrors in the first place. As a result, the backs of trucks may be painted to urge drivers to use their horn as a signal to the truck driver when they are overtaking.
While the reason for "Horn OK Please" may simply be a matter of the peculiarities of Indian driving etiquette, it doesn't quite explain the "OK" in the middle of "Horn Please," which would make much more sense by itself. That the "OK" is incorrect grammatically seems contradictory to the fact that it is almost always present.
One theory suggests that the "OK" is meant to be separate from "Horn Please," and is intended to only appear to the eye when the driver is a safe distance away from the truck. If the driver is too close, the theory goes, only "Horn Please" is visible.
The validity of this idea is questionable, given that there is very little consistency in how the words are painted, although the words themselves are often the same. It seems unlikely that on all Indian trucks with the sign, the "OK" is only visible when the driver is a safe distance away.
Yet another theory behind "Horn OK Please" is derived from a tradition thought to date to World War II, when there were worldwide diesel shortages. Trucks would be filled to the brim with kerosene instead. The kerosene made the vehicles highly flammable, and prone to exploding at the slightest accident, so the backs of the trucks were painted, "Horn Please, On Kerosene," to warn drivers to keep their distance. This reason is among the more plausible, given that many Indian truck drivers continue to mix diesel with kerosene to save money on gas.
A more fanciful interpretation of the "OK" comes from the fact that the multinational Tata company used to have a near-monopoly on first Indian trucks to be manufactured. Tata Motors, the automobile arm of the huge conglomerate, supposedly painted "OK" on the back of its trucks as a subtle—and somewhat insidious—way of advertising the new "OK" detergent and bath soap from its Tata Oil Mills subsidiary.
Whatever the true reason may be for the phrase, it's clear that "Horn OK Please" has embedded itself into the Indian cultural consciousness. Beyond the handful of restaurants and food trucks around the world that use the words in their names, "Horn OK Please" has even found its way into Indian pop culture. In 2009, a Bollywood comedy entitled "Horn OK Pleasss" came out in theaters, and in late 2013, Indian rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh released a tune named after the back-of-a-truck phrase. The government of Maharashtra might believe that the noise caused by "Horn OK Please" is polluting their streets, but evidently the quirky words have given people something to sing about, too.

At today's, Sunday, August 18, 2013, 58th running of the Pikes Peak Marathon, Alex Nichols and Stevie Kremer captured USA Marathon Trail Championship honors.
Nichols, who placed second overall in one of the closest races in the history of the event, was the first USA citizen and USATF member to the finish line and thererfore earned the title of USA Marathon Trail Champion.
The 28-year-old from Colorado Springs finished the race, which boasts 7800 feet of climbing from the start line to the summit of the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak and then heads back to Manitou Springs where the race began – a 26-mile round trip – in a time of 3:43:46. Japanese runner Toru Miyahara, 30, finished in 3:43:23.
"To have a four hour race come down to such a close finish is pretty incredible," said Nichols. "I didn't feel very good on the uphill – I was third to the top in 2:22 – and I was hoping for 2:18 (last year's Pikes Peak Ascent winner Jason Delaney was first to the summit in 2:16:21).
"I think I was pretty strong on the downhill, especially between A-Frame and Barr Camp. Right at Barr Camp I caught Jason, then I caught and passed Toru at the last aid station. He came back up on me by the Cog station and we were neck and neck and we were going fast – it was good to get the speed for the upcoming World Championships (Nichols is a member of the 2013 U.S. Mountain Running Team to compete in Poland on September 8, at the World Mountain Running Championships)."
Nichols doesn't plan to race before the World Championships, rather he plans recovery time then back to training. For recovery, he does easy running and a lot of foam rolling. "I will probably go out for an easy run tomorrow. Maybe and hour, but it might be just six miles," said Nichols.
Asked about confidence in his racing, Nicohols said, "This race was a good example. I've tried my best to never have a bad race. My goal is to find a way to have a good race. A lot of that is mental."
Asked about his goals at next month's World Championships (which is just over 13 kilometers), Nichols said, "It is so foreign to what I'm used to. My outside goal is to be a scoring member of the team (there are six men on the team with the top four to score)."
With the Pikes Peak Marathon also hosting a Skyrunning points race on the international Skyrunner® World Series circuit, Nichols hopes to finish in the top ten at the end of the season. "I'll be doing Limone in Italy in October. It's a half marathon with about the same elevation gain as Pikes Peak. That's a lot of climbing in a short distance."
Delaney, 33, Polson, MT, finished second in the USATF standings running 3:53:45, while Cameron Clayton, 25, Boulder, CO, rounded out the top three in 4:00:56.
Like Nichols, Kremer also competes in the Skyrunning circuit. The 29-year-old from Crested Butte, CO, who will teach second grade at Crested Butte Community School in the fall, recently returned to the United States after spending a year abroad in Italy.
Her time in Europe included races on the international circuit. That experience and international competition certainly primed Kremer for a great effort at Pikes Peak. She came close to breaking the long-standing course record for the marathon, 4:15:18, set in 1981, by Lynn Bjorklund. Kremer's finish time of 4:17:10 included the second fastest descent time recorded in the history of the marathon. Only Gail LaDage Scott with a downhill time of 1:33:02 set in 1987, was faster than Kremer's 1:33:08.
"I definitely surprised myself," said an ever-smiling Kremer at the finish line. "I'm stronger up than down, but I pushed it…don't get me wrong. The downhill went surprisingly well."
This was Kremer's first time at the Pikes Peak Marathon having been to the summit only once before while a student at Colorado College (she graduated in 2006). "It's such a beautiful mountain and I have great memories of going to the summit even though it was a long time ago.
"Doing races like this is so great. The mountains are beautiful, the trails are wonderful. But most of all, the people cheering are amazing. I was getting high fives and so much encouragement from the other runners. They even stepped out of the way as I descended," said Kremer.
Second for the women in the USA Marathon Trail Championships was Michele Yates, 31, Littleton, CO, with a time of 4:56:09, followed by 40-year-old Colorado Springs resident Connilee Walter in 5:10:31.
There were 15 states represented in the nearly 50 USATF entries. Complete results are available at this link.
The marathon wraps up two days of racing on the mountain. At yesterday's Pikes Peak Ascent, Eric Blake, 34, West Hartford, CT, was the overall winner in 2:13:45 besting second-place finisher Greg Ruckman, 39, Breckenridge, CO, by more than nine minutes. Three-time Pikes Peak Ascent winner Simon Gutierrez, 47, Colorado Springs, CO, finished in third with a time of 2:27:27.
For the women, defending champion and course record-holder Kim Dobson, 29, Grand Junction, CO, won in a time of 2:41:43, followed by Ashlee Nelson, 32, Colorado Springs, CO, in 2:48:58, and Hayley Benson, 31, Littleton, CO, in 2:55:04.
With their victories, Blake and Dobson each earned automatic selection spots on the 2014 U.S. World Long Distance Challenge Team which will compete at the Pikes Peak Ascent next August. The additional four spots on team USA will be selected based on criteria set forth at the annual USATF meetings to be held in December in Indianapolis, IN.

RAB looking to break into Sprint Cup
Joe Nemechek to debut the No. 29 RAB Toyota in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona
RAB hopes to make its Sprint Cup debut this weekend at Daytona International Speedway.
Joe Nemechek will attempt to qualify the No. 29 Toyota Care Camry in the Coke Zero 400 on Friday for the 160-lap event. Veteran Nationwide Series crew chief Chris Rice will oversee Nemechek's effort this weekend.
Nemechek, who won the pole for the 1999 Firecracker 400 while driving for Felix Sabates. In 38 Cup starts on the 2.5-mile track, Nemechek has posted three top 10s and 12 top 20 finishes. He has led 13 laps.
Robby Benton, team owner of RAB, currently campaigns full-time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series with James Buescher. In seven seasons on the tour, Benton, 35, has one win with Boris Said at Montreal in 2010, five top-five's and 23 top 10 finishes. Buescher is currently eighth in the NNS point standings.
Benton says his reason for running a Sprint Cup car came down to "simple opportunity".
"I have a speedway car, we had sponsorship and a great speedway driver wanted to drive it," Benton told Motorsport.com. "Everything just fell together. Daytona mean a great deal to me as an owner, so I elected to try again."
Although Nemechek did not qualify this year's Daytona 500 with his own team, the affable veteran has competed nine Cup races this season along with five starts in both the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series. His best results was sixth in NNS at Talladega and third in the Texas truck race.

We have a lot of rabbits. I like rabbits. I like to watch them. I have to say I hate what rabbits do to my gardens, especially in early spring and summer—mowing down tender transplants almost the moment I plant them. I have to put everything in baskets, on benches, or on pedestals, and even so they still thwart me, climbing up to mow things down. It's been years since I have been able to plant a geranium in the ground. For someone who loves geraniums as much as I do, that's a significant sacrifice.
Rabbits are amazingly catlike, the way they groom themselves and lay around, the way they spar and tussle and fight. They're cool animals. I wish they didn't kill geraniums and salvias, portulaca and lobelia and BASIL—they ate all my kitchen garden basil this year! That's why I grow most of it in the fenced garden. No wascally wabbit gets my summer pesto.
However. Every once in awhile a rabbit comes along and steals my heart despite it all. One such is Blaze. I first saw him as a newly-fledged baby, and I did a triple-take. What the heck is that on his face? A blaze. Oh, how adorable. Eastern cottontails usually have a dash of white between their ears; Blaze just took it farther.
A few days later I saw Blaze in the company of a large old rabbit, who I guessed might be his mom. I don't know—they might not have been related at all, but Blaze was hanging around this animal as if he knew it. Rabbits fledge very small, and they're on their own and eating clover while they'll still fit in the palm of your hand.
The big rabbit took off, and Blaze followed.
But rabbits grow very fast. I didn't see Blaze for a couple of weeks when wow! There he was, still hanging out beneath the studio birches. All grown up, with a clover flower hanging out the side of his mouth, being typewritered in, chchchchchch.
What a fine bunny Blaze has grown up to be. And so far he has stayed out of my flower beds.
I love this picture, even though I took it through my studio panes.
FYI I don't let Chet Baker out when Blaze is in the backyard.
I'm posting (sort of, well, trying to post) from the Asa Wright Nature Center in Trinidad, which is a magical island twelve miles off Venezuela's coast. We are in Bird Heaven, learning how to digiscope with fabulous Leica equipment. Thank you, Leica, for bringing us here, together, just me and Bill and some wonderful company. Today: bearded bellbirds, white-bearded manakins, and beardless tyrannulets. Happy sigh. But putting up a picture heavy blog post here is like squeezing a cow through a transom. It ain't easy, and it takes a lot of time, and time is what I don't have. Too many cool birds to ogle. So there may be interruptions in the flow. At least this time I'm having fun.

Yesterday was Gavinators 1st Birthday party! Our family and friends helped us throw him a wonderful birthday party! This blog will mostly be pictures…I'm very sleeeeeepy today.
Ian, Cameron, and Jackson all hung out together in the sandbox! Making sandcastles, and filling buckets kept them busy for hours!
Mom, Dad, Dziadzia, Nana Jean, Aunt Gail, Uncle John and Matt hanging out watching G-$ open his gifts. Uncle John was the only one who got the picture memo.
Gavin got lots of fun toys and fun clothes to wear! Here he is modeling his Toy Story shirt.
He had everyone sing Happy Birthday and Sto Lat (Polish version of Happy Birthday). He was very happy afterwards!
His birthday theme was animals, so the cake had a Lion (just like his invitation), Alligator, Tiger, Snake, Elephant and Giraffe all on a big number 1!!
He got a few nice handfuls of icing including the elephant and a green balloon! Mmmm! He wiped a lot of it on himself though, then realized the yum factor of icing!
He got to eat off most of the icing from his legs and hands.
And that was Kaelyn's piece of cake!

BMW says 80 percent of i3 plug-in EV buyers come from other brands
BMW is feeling continued good vibes from its recently launched i sub-brand of plug-in vehicles. The German automaker, which started selling its i3 battery-electric vehicle in Europe late last year, is finding better-than-expected demand for both the i3 and the i8 plug-in hybrid, Automotive News Europe says, citing an interview with BMW executive Ian Robertson.
The i3 is attracting a lot of new blood, too. Robertson said about 80 percent of new i3 owners were not previously Ultimate Driving Machine loyalists, indicating the curiosity factor for the company's new plug-in models runs high, Robertson says. BMW has sold more than 3,000 i3 vehicles since debuting the model in Europe last November. In April, the bmwfun boosted daily production of the i3 from its German factory to about 100 units from 70. Read more from Robertson here.
Europe's largest markets for the i3 are the UK, Germany and Norway. In the US, BMW sold 336 i3 vehicles in May, its first month of sales here. The i3 was recently rated to go 81 miles on a single charge when it has an electric engine only. When equipped with gas-powered range-extender, the car can go 72 miles on a single charge and another 78 on gas. Check here for our First Drive impressions of the i3.

Student Harmonic Analysis and PDE Seminar (HADES): Weak-strong uniqueness for multiphase mean curvature flow
Seminar | April 23 | 3:40-5 p.m. | 740 Evans Hall
Tim Laux, UC Berkeley
Multiphase mean curvature flow has, due to its importance in materials science, received a lot of attention over the last decades. On the one hand, there is substantial recent progress in the construction of weak solutions. On the other hand, strong solutions are—in particular in the planar case of networks—very well understood.
In this talk, after giving an overview of the topic, I will present a weak-strong uniqueness principle for multiphase mean curvature flow: as long as a strong solution to multiphase mean curvature flow exists, any distributional solution with optimal energy dissipation rate has to coincide with this solution.
In our proof we construct a suitable relative entropy functional, which in this geometric context may be viewed as a time-dependent variant of calibrations. Just like the existence of a calibration guarantees that one has found a global minimum, the existence of a "time-dependent calibration" ensures that the route of steepest descent in the energy landscape is unique and stable.
For the purpose of this talk, I will focus on two instructive model cases: a single smooth interface and a single triple junction.
This is a joint work (in progress) with Julian Fischer, Sebastian Hensel, and Thilo Simon.

now the flow can read Person or Group field only with single person details. If its set for multiple values, the flow return null.
Would be better to read multiple values (emails for us) for case if we need to use this field for approval email on more persons.
If its problem to return all information about multiple persons, you can use setting from field, accordit what filde (ID, email, Department) will be the main, for reading in flow.
Thank you
We now support multiple-valued Person and Choice fields, read more here: https://flow.microsoft.com/blog/button-types-more/
Flow does not start for Sharepoint lists that contain multiple values (such as Managed Metadata column with "Allow multiple values checkbox". This is apparently documented for Powerapps here: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/connection-sharepoint-online/ However, no mention for MS Flow. Once you try to run a Flow acting on such SP list, nothing happens! No error or any indication as to why the Flow is not running, which is very unfortunate as you are forced to open a Service request where you "discover" that actually this is not supported yet (everybody loses time). Can you please consider supporting multiple choice columns with MS Flow acting on Sharepoint lists? And also make it more clear that it is not supported now.
Agreed, this is a necessity.
I am trying to create a flow that sends a simple email wich retrieves the (multiple) values from a People Picker and puts it in the body.
Considering that you were able to achieve this with InfoPath or even just with SharePoint Designer this is a big step backwards.
Yes, this would be helpful in a variety of ways, especially in automating cross-team and business stakeholder communications.
This is general for links between list.
As sharepoint allows us to have multiple value in their lookup column, we should be able to perform CRUD operations from flow with those type of fields.

The scenic Southern Cross-Island Highway (
Since the highway zigzags through a wide area of the Yushan National Park (
Highway No. 20 was completed in 1973 but was opened to the public in 1993, because of the dangers inherent in its treacherous terrain and the frequent landslides.
The highway rises from a few hundred meters above sea-level at Tainan to 2,731m at Yakou (土
More importantly, this spectacular route, stretching 209km from Tainan to Taitung, passes by the southwest entrance of the Yushan National Park, at the route's 109.5km mark and extends to the 147km mark, at the west end of Yakou Tunnel. The terrain of the park rises from Lakulaku Stream Valley (
Such a topographically varied territory with a mild temperature gives birth to dramatic natural scenery: steep river valleys, breathtaking gorges and giant Taiwan red cypress or Morrison spruce forests.
The area's temperature is generally cool, though there is great variation between day and night and between seasons. Temperatures go as high as 30?C in the summer and drop below-zero in the winter. Best of all, snow is rarely seen on the route, mainly due to a lack of moisture in the air.
From January to March, as soon as spring touches the ground, the area is decorated with numerous flowers such as Taiwan cherries, azaleas and plum blossoms. The Taiwan lily, Formosan raspberry and glandular rosa (
Since different animals live in different floral zones, the rich variety of vegetation in Yushan National Park breeds a wide range of fauna, such as Formosan macaque, wild boar, black bear and numerous bird species, both endemic and migratory.
Across these vast mountains and green valleys, a ferociously brave tribe, whose members proclaim themselves "the sons of Yushan," has resided for many centuries.
The present-day Bunun tribe (
The Bunun are an internationally renowned group of people who are blessed with an amazing talent of choral singing. Every year, between the months of April and July, the Bunun tribesmen hold two traditional festivals.
At the height of each ceremony, a team of eight or more adult men (no women are allowed) form a small, close circle and sing praise songs such as Pasi But But (Praying for a Rich Millet Harvest, 祈禱小米豐收歌) or Manandi, (Chief Ritual Song, 首祭之歌) to worship their gods in eight vocal parts (a choir normally sings four vocal parts in the West).

Clark Frasier, the co-chef and co-owner of Arrows and MC Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, Maine, and Summer Winter restaurant in Burlington, Massachusetts, recently returned from a trip to Shanghai. It was the chef's third visit to the city. Here, he shares his impressions of the city and must-try dishes.
"I first went in 1983 and it was really still untouched from the world. It was really phenomenal for me to see all of the change that's taken place in such a short period of time. The change is so massive it's almost incomprehensible. Twenty years ago you didn't have those skyscrapers. I think many Americans still have this vision of mainland China as it was 20 or so years ago—with people on bikes and wearing Mao suits. But no one rides bikes and no one wears Mao suits. People here are staggeringly wealthy. Don't get me wrong, there is great inequality too, but also great, great wealth.
Article continues below advertisement
"In certain neighborhoods of Shanghai you'll see a Porsche parked next to a Ferrari, parked next to a Maserati. And the people are dressed to the nines. The nightclubs here are really almost too much. People go out to display their wealth and the scene is very glamorous, with Rolls-Royces lined up out front. It's a bit over the top. Meanwhile, your cab driver is saying how his life is unchanged in this boom time and it's hard to make a living and conditions are poor but then he drops you around the corner at a chic café filled with young Chinese people dressed in the latest fashions with their iPhones. New Heights (7/F, Three on the Bund, 3 Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu, 86 (0) 21-6321-0909) is a very cool bar on the Bund with fabulous views. Come for the cocktails and the scene. It's where all of the city's moneyed young things—they call them princelings—hang out. It's also a good jumping off point for a night on the town.
Article continues below advertisement
"The Whampoa Club (5/F, 3 on the Bund, 3 Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu, 86/(0) 21-6321-3737) is right on the Bund and I am always amazed by how spectacular it is. It's located in an old building with a number of restaurants inside. Whampoa Club really reinterprets Shanghai food and brings it to a different level. The dining room overlooks the river and the Pudong skyline. The first time I ever went it was snowing out and I felt transported back to Shanghai in the 1920s with is elegance and glamor. Staring out, you are reminded that this is still such a romantic, evocative city. My favorite traditional Chinese dish from Shanghai is xiao xing wine–poached chicken. It's a real shock to people who haven't grown up around Chinese food. Maybe they've had take out Chinese or have eaten at a hallway decent Chinese restaurant but this is a real Chinese dish. The chicken is poached, chilled slightly and then sliced. The Whampoa Club makes a great xiao xing chicken. Hairy crab is a real specialty in Shanghai that you must have. It's like having Dungeness crab in San Francisco or softshell crab in Maryland or lobster in Maine.
You should also have fried dumplings; Yang's Fry-Dumpling (269 Wujiang Rd., 86/(0) 21-6136-1391) is the real deal. People line up to get the dumplings. I would say 90 percent of the diners are Chinese people. They do amazing pan-friend shengh jian bao which are a type of pork dumpling. If you want dumplings that are a little more accessible or if you are just looking for a more upscale atmosphere then go to Crystal Jade (South Block Plaza, 2/F, 123 Xingye Lu, 86/(0) 21-6385-8752). It's in Xintiandi and have great steamed buns. People like to come here for dim sum."

LITTLE ROCK � The marriage of convenience between gubernatorial hopeful Mike Ross and lieutenant governor candidate John Burkhalter is a signal from establishment Democrats that they want a unified front as they try to prevent a full Republican takeover of Arkansas. It also offered a chance to preview a pro-jobs message they hope to run on next year.
LITTLE ROCK � The marriage of convenience between gubernatorial hopeful Mike Ross and lieutenant governor candidate John Burkhalter is a signal from establishment Democrats that they want a unified front as they try to prevent a full Republican takeover of Arkansas. It also offered a chance to preview a pro-jobs message they hope to run on next year.
But the Ross-Burkhalter ticket poses just as many risks as rewards for the two as they seek the state�s top two constitutional offices. The move gives their rivals within the party as well as the GOP an opportunity to blast pre-election deals and �good old boy� politics in a state where establishment candidates haven�t always fared well.
The pair announced their mutual endorsements days after Burkhalter opted against a run for governor and said he�d instead run for the state�s No. 2 constitutional office. The businessman, developer and Highway Commission member said the endorsements were not part of any deal that led to his decision to keep out of an already heated governor�s race between Ross and former Lt. Gov. Bill Halter.
�This is a winning team that�s going to move this state forward and create jobs,� Ross told reporters as the candidates announced the joint endorsements. �I think the more voters get to know us, the more they�re going to agree.�
Since Arkansas� governor and lieutenant governor are elected separately, it�s unusual for candidates with contested primaries to run as a ticket. The two said they�re still running separate campaigns, though presented themselves as a team on economic development efforts.
The benefit is clear for Burkhalter, who has little name recognition and has never run for office in the state before. By joining forces with Ross, he attaches his name to known commodity in Arkansas politics. Ross, a former congressman who represented south Arkansas for 12 years, also wins an ally who will likely make similar pro-jobs pitches to voters.
Democrats believe they can gain an upper hand with a pro-jobs message � especially after a legislative session where they believe Republicans overplayed as the majority by pushing for new abortion limits and a law requiring voters to show photo identification.
Part of that pitch includes Ross� proposal to have Burkhalter head up a cabinet on economic development that will include heads of state agencies such as the Department of Education and nonprofit groups.
The pitfalls are just as clear for both Burkhalter and Ross. No matter how hard they�ll run as separate candidates, both candidates now face the possibility of having to answer for the other�s positions.
It�s a dicey position for Ross, who�s embracing a partnership with a candidate who hasn�t been tested in a political campaign and remains a blank slate on many issues. Burkhalter may face questions about whether he aligns with Ross� positions on issues ranging from health care to abortion rights.
The partnership also opened the door for rivals to paint the move as a political calculation by two establishment picks.
It could also provide an opening for Halter, who has shown a willingness to run as an outsider candidate from his first bid for lieutenant governor in 2006 to his unsuccessful attempt to win the Democratic Senate nomination three years ago.
Halter, who is seeking the state�s top office partly on his promise of an expanded scholarship program, so far isn�t targeting the partnership and says he�s instead focusing on his own bid.
�I�m going to spend my time, attention and energy focused on the best possible policies for Arkansas,� Halter said.
It�s a line of attack that Dianne Curry, the Little Rock School board president challenging Burkhalter for the Democratic nomination, was all too happy to launch.
�I believe as the true blue Democrat in this race, we will let the people of Arkansas make these decisions, not some good ole boys in backrooms,� Curry said.

"The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped." Proverbs 11:25 The Message
I was shocked to hear the new of the passing of my son's t-ball coach. He was young, healthy and had a sudden heart failure after a workout. He left a beautiful wife and 5 children, the youngest of which is only 6.
So we gathered to celebrate the life of a great coach, a wonderful man in our community who has a wonderful family and who gave of his time and energy to young people through sports for over 15 years. He played ball for 30 years and coached over 800 kids throughout those years….the most overqualified t-ball coach there could have been:) My son played along side the coach's son and he had a ball (pun intended). The coach was kind, encouraging and supportive to my son during this time in which my husband is deployed. At our closing party, he made special remarks about each player that were so funny, correct and insightful into each little guy. And he also talked about my husband's service…there was not a dry eye at the park. "Who cries at a baseball party" is what he said. But that is how touching his heart was, so sincere, so genuine and without effort.
He will be missed by those closest to him, but even those of us who just knew him these few months, he made an everlasting impact. God bless his family!

The River Falls Police Department will join hundreds of law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin for the annual Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement mobilization from May 20 to June 2.
"Our officers will be on the lookout day and night for unbuckled motorists. If you're not wearing a safety belt, we will stop your vehicle and you will get a ticket," said Police Sgt. Matthew Kennett. "During the Click It or Ticket mobilization and throughout the year, we stringently enforce Wisconsin's mandatory safety belt law to motivate motorists to buckle up every time they drive or ride in a vehicle.
"Tragically, too many people are needlessly injured or killed because they believed a crash would never happen to them so they did not buckle up."
In Wisconsin, about one out of five motorists does not buckle up, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
More than half of the drivers and passengers killed in Wisconsin traffic crashes in 2011 were not wearing safety belts. Last year, there were more than 100,000 convictions for failure to fasten a seat belt.
"Consistent safety belt use is the most effective protection against being ejected from a vehicle during a crash or thrown around violently inside it and possibly hitting another person in the vehicle with massive force," Kennett said. "Our officers take safety belt enforcement seriously in an effort to reach the ultimate goal of zero preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin."

Trout and salmon egg collection facilities open houses in Wisconsin
KEWAUNEE – Lake Michigan trout and salmon are soon to start their spawning runs, offering "fintastict" opportunities to see first-hand how state fish crews give nature a hand in helping produce the next generation of fighters to test anglers on the big pond.
The eggs are collected at three facilities open to the public whenever Department of Natural Resources staff are processing fish, and two of the facilities along Lake Michigan have open houses in October for people to see egg-collecting demonstrations, to learn or tune up their casting and knot-tying skills, and to enjoy other free fun.
Brief listings of those two events are below, with more details on each available on an open house page of the DNR website.
On Oct. 6, The C.D. "Buzz" Besadny Anadromous Fisheries Facility located along the Kewaunee River in Kewaunee County offers food, fish and fun at their annual open house, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
On Oct. 13, the Root River Steelhead Facility located along the Root River in Racine, also holds its open house event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and will include guided tours of the facility, hands-on demonstrations of fish spawning procedures by fisheries staff, fishing rod casting lessons, knot tying, and fly-tying.
The third egg collection facility, Strawberry Creek Weir outside Sturgeon Bay, does not have an open house per se but all three facilities are open to the public during times when DNR crews are processing fish.
Egg-collecting is expected to begin at Strawberry Creek on Oct. 1, with DNR turning on pumps to supplement water flow there to help the fish reach the weir where DNR crews collect their eggs.
The vast majority of fish populations in Wisconsin are naturally self-sustaining, but Lake Michigan chinook and coho salmon and steelhead trout are not self-sustaining in Wisconsin although Michigan streams are producing larger numbers of wild fish.
Besadny Facility: Mike Baumgartner (920) 388-1025;
Strawberry Creek, Nick Legler (920) 746-5112;

IMPHAL, Jun 30: The demand of the United Naga Council (UNC) for an alternative administrative arrangement for the Nagas living in Manipur has received a severe blow with both the State and Central Governments categorically setting aside the demand during today's tripartite talk at Senapati district head-quarters.
The outcome of the talk is in line with the earlier posture struck by Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh that a separate administrative model for the Nagas of Manipur is out of the question.
Under heavy security cover, the talk involving State and Central Government officials and the UNC was held at the office premises of the Deputy Commissioner (Senapati).
Straight after the two-hour long discourse that ended around 12.30 pm, Sword Vashum, chairman of the 'Committee for Alternative Arrangement' who led the nine-member UNC team said the talk was not fruitful as the Government has not conceded to the alternative arrangement demand.
"We have not asked for anything that is clouded by doubt and uncertainty and we are not demanding anything unconstitutional. What we are asking for is provided in the Constitution," Vashum said adding that it is not within the domain of the State of Manipur to grant the demand.
He nevertheless said that the committee will sit and decide as to what steps would be taken in view of the talk's outcome.
Chief Secretary DS Poonia, who led the State delegation, declined to accept the Naga body's demand saying that the Government has extended its efforts in all round development in the hills.
He said the Government, besides explaining the Government's comprehensive developmental plans in the hills, has also mentioned about the devolution of power given to the Autonomous District Councils. "Everything has been done to address grievances," he added.
Shambhu Singh, Joint Secretary (Northeast) in the Ministry of Home Affairs, who was one of the four representatives of the Central Government team, echoed Poonia saying the Centre cannot fulfill the Naga body's demand.
"We cannot understand such alternative arrangement demand and the Central Government cannot comply with it. We are not the observer of the talk and we only act as its felicitator," the Central official said.
Though the UNC, a conglomerate of several Naga civil bodies of the State, is firm on its alternative administrative arrangement demand, Ibobi Singh has flatly stated that his Government will not give in to it notwithstanding the issue being incorporated in the talk agenda.
On Tuesday, Congress Working Committee member and in-charge of Manipur, Luizinho Faleiro said the party would help in bringing about a settlement to the UNC's demand.
The last round of the tripartite talk was held at the same venue on December 3 last year. In the face of its growing demand, the UNC had announced the decision of the Naga people to sever tie with the State Govt.

Rogue Legacy will certainly go down as one of 2013's most polarizing titles. Those who 'get it' will take to the game immediately, finding that its blend of offbeat humor and retro charm combine to make the perfect storm of indie titles. Those who stand on the other side of the fence will surely be turned off by the game's somewhat archaic mechanics and often unforgiving difficulty spikes.
Rogue Legacy takes the oft-forgotten 'roguelike' genre and puts its own unique spin to the formula. Players are tasked with exploring an ever-changing castle filled with treasure and dozens of deadly enemies. These enemies will kill you – make no mistakes, Rogue Legacy can be a very unforgiving game – but in dying, the game's most interesting premise really shines.
Upon your untimely death, the game is not over. In fact, after dying, the game truly begins. Players pick their next successor upon each death, choosing from countless different combinations of classes, traits and personality quirks. Initially, your heir's potential classes are RPG staples – the Warrior, Barbarian, Mage and Knave are all present – but each class can be upgraded as well as a handful of other classes that can be unlocked.
Learning the nuances of each class as well as the pros and cons of the various traits is often the key to surviving the treacherous halls of Rogue Legacy. With each class having its own strengths and subsequent weaknesses, as well as your heir's unique traits, the variety of potential characters is near limitless. With traits as varied as 'baldness', 'ADHD', and the frustratingly hilarious 'vertigo' (which flips the screen upside down), finding the perfect balance of class and trait may not happen all too often, but each character is always a blast to play.
Rogue Legacy requires some patience and commitment. As previously stated, you will be dying a lot, and while death can be frustrating, the gold and items accumulated from the previous character is passed on to the next generations. Gold can be used to purchase stat upgrades, various pieces of equipment, and additional classes. Taking the time to properly equip and level stats will require more than a few trial and error based runs.
There is definitely a learning curve in Rogue Legacy, and while getting accustomed to the game will certainly make you live longer, it by no means will make you a champion. Because each and every run will have you navigating a new castle landscape, there is no set path to victory. Learning the best ways to deal with the monsters and rogue knights that stand in your path, as well as how to best navigate the spike trap infested hallways can seem unfair at times, but upon clearing rooms or beating one of the game's four challenging bosses, the sweet feeling of victory is a worthy reward.
Living long enough to get to the bosses can often provide to be a challenge, as one of Rogue Legacy's faults lies in hit detection. Far too often, you will take damage from touching an enemy that seemed to be further away than the game registers it. While this may not be initially all that noticeable, it can get frustrating when in a life-or-death situation.
This isn't the end of the world, however, as Rogue Legacy does so many things right that it is easy to look past the hit detection fault. The charming music has a way of sticking in your head after playing, and the game's various humorous traits allow for some hilariously defective characters, all tied together neatly in a beautifully presented 16-bit inspired package.
All in all, Rogue Legacy is just what the doctor ordered for gamers who are looking for a difficult, yet entertaining, experience. Few games in recent memory have had the ability to punish players while still making them come back for more. The combined effect of never knowing what your next character will be like, as well as the addictive nature of pushing yourself to do better than the last attempt is an absolute blast. At an affordable price tag, there is no reason to sleep on Rogue Legacy – get out there and start building your heritage. Your successors might not be perfect, but you've got to love your family, right?

Over here at What's Cookin', the football season is one of our favorite times of year thanks to all of the great cooking done before each and every game. Whether you're eating burgers and dogs or grilling up some wings and ribs, there is so much delicious food that is made each weekend throughout the fall.
A crucial factor to remember when planning tailgating menus is the importance of one hand-friendly foods. With a lack of seating and cutlery, and one hand usually being used to hold a beverage of choice, any and all foods which can be held and eaten with only one hand are a plus. This means that an array of eats like wings, ribs, pretzels and all foods miniature are your best options.
We've gathered together some of our favorite one-handed treats for tailgating here. Read on for our favorites and let us know your tailgating recipe speciality in the comments below.
