STOCKTON - Tatiana Beilstein got just enough support that a solid outing didn't go to waste.
STOCKTON - Tatiana Beilstein got just enough support so that her solid outing didn't go to waste.
Delta College's freshman right-hander pitched a complete game against Solano and won 3-2 at Bucky Layland Softball Complex. Katie Bentz drove in two runs with two doubles, and another scored on an error.
Beilstein gave up a run on three hits in the first inning before allowing one hit the rest of the game. She retired 10 consecutive batters at one point and struck out four with no walks.
"Everything with (Beilstein) is based on height," Delta coach Jim Fisher said. "When she keeps the ball down, she gets ground-ball outs."
The Falcons (2-3), the defending Bay Valley Conference champions, led off the game with a double by Britney Taglieri. She scored on a groundout. The other Solano run was unearned, scoring on an error in left field in the fifth inning.
Bentz drove in Alex Alvarado with each of her doubles and was 2 for 3. Alvarado was 1 for 2 with a double. A throwing error on second baseman Stefanie Chainurux allowed another run to score after a single by Isabella Nicol.
Center fielder Alyssa Magana started at catcher for Delta (9-5) after Shaina Kharufeh was lost for four to six weeks with a broken right foot. She has been Delta's No. 5 hitter and was injured Saturday sliding into home against Feather River.
"It's all people on deck right now," Fisher said. "We have been hit unusually hard with injury this year and are doing our best to shuffle people around."

The projects listed here represent ongoing and completed whole exome sequencing (WES) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) projects supported throughout NIH. This list will be updated periodically as more studies are funded. Some projects are collaborations between multiple ICs. For these projects, we have listed both ICs but not the relative portions of project that each oversees. The dates listed are currently anticipated completion dates. There are circumstances where completion dates may be delayed. Samples sets have not been pre-screened for potential overlap of samples, which could occur where different studies sequence samples from the same cohort. NIH Institutes reserve the right to change goals and targets on this inventory.
In all, roughly 67,000 subjects are being sequenced among 16 different Institutes or Centers (ICs). Most of these subjects are being sequenced at least at 20X coverage. NIH staff at the various ICs identified the number of individuals to be sequenced, sequencing platform, primary phenotype, data use limitations, and patient consent for data sharing. Currently, ICs are collaborating to develop a pipeline for validating sequencing results, as well as determining other purposes that a sequencing inventory such as this could serve.

Matt Kenseth wins first Chase race at Chicagoland; next stop, NHBy Reid Spencer
NASCAR Wire Service
September 16. 2013 12:28AM
JOLIET, Ill. -- Matt Kenseth, the top seed in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, added to his advantage in Sunday's rain-interrupted GEICO 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.
With a strong push from Kevin Harvick after a restart on Lap 245 of 267, Kenseth pulled away to beat Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch to the checkered flag and deny Busch the second three-series weekend sweep of his career.
The victory was Kenseth's sixth of the season, tops in the Cup series. The driver of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota claimed his first win at Chicagoland and the 30th of his career.
Harvick came home third, followed by Kurt Busch. Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon both overcame considerable adversity to finish fifth and sixth, respectively, as Chase drivers claimed the top six spots in the finishing order and 10 of the first 12.
Other championship contenders weren't so lucky. Pole winner Joey Logano brought his car to pit road under caution with engine issues on Lap 149 of 267. After Lap 175, the engine gave up the ghost, and Logano retired in 37th place.
With the nose of his car punctured during a pit road accident on Lap 169, Dale Earnhardt Jr. suffered an engine failure on Lap 226, his heavily taped car overheating and ultimately erupting in a geyser of steam and smoke. Earnhardt dropped out in 35th place.
The race was red-flagged for more than five hours as rain pelted the 1.5-mile track. The action resumed at approximately 10 p.m. ET with Kenseth in the lead.

A place in the country has long been the "American Dream." For some, the dream may be for an acre or two - just enough room for a garden, or a horse, or maybe both. For others, the dream may be for land that extends as far as the eye can see. And to what end? For privacy, peace and quiet, a little bit of elbow room, clean air, billions of stars in the night-time sky, a chance to try one's hand at growing grapes or lavender or olives trees, to have room for dogs, horses, maybe even cattle or goats, or perhaps alpacas or ostriches or some other exotic breed. Whatever the vision may be, you can bet on one thing: there's romance involved, something stirred from deep within the recesses of a collective unconscious that knew and tamed the wild west in an earlier century, one that retains the pioneering spirit, and continues to treasure the expansive riches of the great outdoors and intimate involvement with Mother Earth and with nature.
On the other hand, the vision for a place in the country may simply be one that offers relief from 5:00 o'clock gridlock traffic and tawny smog-filled skies, the never-ending auditory rumble punctuated by siren blasts and honking horns, and the lurking specter of crime, gangs, graffiti and other urban phenomena.
Some people acquire a place in the country as a second home, or a place for retirement. But, beginning in the early 1990s, a remarkable number of urban Americans throughout the U.S. began relocating their primary homes to small towns and rural communities - a trend that continues to this day. This trend coincided with the emergence of the internet age and the "virtual office." Professionals discovered that they were no longer bound to the urban business setting and the daily commute to a specified work place. They discovered that they could do their work from almost anywhere. The greater flexibility in terms of where a professional business person could live made the advantages of living in small town communities available to numerous young professionals and their families.
The quality of life offered in some of the most desirable and highly sought after small town communities has many advantages which, when considered together, are all about "lifestyle." Today's rural lifestyle profile is dramatically different than it was in the mid twentieth century. In the 1950's, the rural lifestyle profile was one of isolation and lack of sophistication, overshadowed by a lower economic standard and fewer amenities and services. But today, that stereotype has changed dramatically; in fact, it has shifted 180 degrees! Thanks to technology and "global connectivity" small town communities are no longer isolated. And while cost of living may be less in certain rural areas, the wealth per capital in some of the most desirable small town communities is actually higher than in urban areas. Many desirable small town communities are home to sophisticated well-educated people, many of whom are attuned to cutting edge health trends, environmentally conscious practices, and "spiritual" values that focus on self actualization.
Regardless whether the dream of country living is about riding a horse across open space, rounding up cattle, undertaking an agricultural or gardening venture, or simply allowing the beauty and peace and quiet to inspire artistic expression, rural lifestyle comes out of some values that are shared in common. These include the value of having fresh air and clean water, having a direct relationship with the land itself and with nature, taking pleasure in the changing seasons and the natural rhythms, being good stewards of the land, and doing whatever is possible to minimize pollution and negative environmental impacts.
Rural lifestyle also places value on a more relaxed pace with less stress, more time with family and friends, more laughter and play, more fun. Urban life can be all about going somewhere and getting somewhere. The place where one wants to be can often be somewhere out there in the future. Rural lifestyle is about being able to say with all sincerity, "I am exactly where I want to be, right now!"
Rural lifestyle is a mosaic of so many little things: familiar faces in the post office and at the grocery store, wide open spaces variously fenced and cross fenced, sunsets that kiss the world with an orange glow, distant sounds of a rooster crowing, a horse whinnying, a hoot owl at night, conversations centered on the weather or on what the locals are up to, concerns about water tables and brush clearing and mountain lions, worn boots, barbecues, bales of hay, and fresh everything -- fresh eggs, fresh produce, fresh air, a fresh new morning.
Some happens to humans when they simply sit on the earth, or on the back of a horse. Something from deep inside connects and there is an experience of wholeness. There's something extraordinary about the golden sun reflecting in a crystal clear blue sky, its light unfettered by smog and pollution. There's something happy about crisp pungent air that fully oxygenates the lungs. There's something about the smell of rain when it washes across a large expanse of land. There's something about the silent sound of the natural world - utter stillness at mid-day; then a red tailed hawk crying out, piercing the sky, echoing, reverberating, and silence again. Then, the night brings its chorus of frogs and crickets, and stars that seem to sing. There's a special kind of quiet in the country that injects peace right down into the cells, filling them up, leaving one with a sense of being complete and whole and right with the world and with life. It is the experience of being in sync, in rhythm, connected, plugged in to something that's huge, and glorious, and multi-faceted – fully nurturing yet completely unbridled and untamed all at the same time. A depth of caring stirs; one that says life is beautiful and precious and good, that this planet is worthy of being preserved and protected and treated with care and respect.
Some years ago a man moved from greater Los Angeles to the Santa Ynez Valley where we publish Ranch & Country Magazine. He set up a thriving business that provides transportation for horses and quickly became well known throughout the community. When we see him, we ask how he's getting along and he always gives the same answer, "Just another day in paradise!" His answer pretty much sums up what rural lifestyle is all about. This guy made the move; he was, in every sense of the word, ready for the country!

Mayor Ted Gatsas' inaugural address
January 07. 2014 12:42PM
MANCHESTER - Here's the text of Mayor Ted Gatsas' inaugural address, titled "Look Forward," delivered Tuesday morning:
"Good Morning. Coach, thank you for such a wonderful introduction. Your words are both powerful and full of meaning to me. You have always been someone I look to throughout my life for common sense wisdom. You say what you mean, unfiltered and nobody ever has to worry that you will be long-winded. You are the same person today that you were the day we met at Central High School. We've enjoyed many laughs and and celebrated many victories together and thank you for being here with me today.
"Mayor Wieczorek thank you for swearing me in today I am truly honored. I can remember, many years ago, when I decided to run for Aldermen and I looked to your leadership style and you manner of resolving problems as something to emulate. I really do try - there are some meetings where I succeed, and some meetings I do not.
"As Mayor you led this city through some very difficult times and it was through your leadership that we realized the revitalization of our Millyard and began the transformation of downtown and Elm Street through the construction of the Verizon Wireless Arena.
"Today we are enjoying the fruits of your leadership. Today the area in the city with the most development is south of the Verizon Wireless Arena and whoever would have thought that the day would come when we would need more parking in the Millyard.
"Mayor Wieczorek you have certainly given this city your all both in Concord as our Executive Councilor and here at City Hall as our Mayor. On behalf of all Queen City residents we are forever grateful and we thank you.
"I would also like to recognize some family, friends and distinguished guests in the audience. Let me begin with my wife Cassandra. I am very fortunate because she puts up with early mornings and late nights and never complains. She has stood by my side every step of the way since I became a public servant and she has always encouraged me. Thank you Cassandra.
"My mother Pauline is also here with me today. Ever since I was a young man playing any sport she has been my biggest cheerleader. Through all the wins, the losses the ups and downs her dedication only grows stronger.
"My brother Michael and Susan, who are by far my biggest critics, are here today. It has taken about sixty years of brotherhood to realize that your support and pearls of wisdom – are essential to my success – thank you for being there not just some of the time, but all of the time.
"And I am so proud that my niece Amanda and her husband Dan and their three children and my nephew Matthew and his wife Celia and their two children are here to support me today. As an Uncle I have watched you grow from quiet kids, kind adults to loving, dedicated and nothing short of amazing parents. You make me very proud.
"Also with us today is my mother-in-law Lorraine. Thank you for your continued support.
"I would also like to recognize the former Mayors that are here with us today. Mayor Guinta, Mayor Baines, Mayor Wieczorek and Mayor Dupuis. It's an honor to have each of your join us and reminds me how very blessed this community is to have a group of individuals that continues to dedicate themselves to the betterment of the Queen City. If I could ask you to stand as a group and be recognized.
"Governor Hassan, thank you for joining us today. On behalf of the newly sworn-in Board of Aldermen, Board of School Committee and myself it's an honor to have you participate in our celebration.
"Metropolitan Methodios and Bishop Libasci it's an honor to have you join us here in Manchester and give us your blessing.
"And now I would like to welcome all of our distinguished guests, fellow city officials, former city officials, former colleagues, friends, family and Queen City residents to today's inauguration.
"To the newly sworn in members of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and the Board of School Committee, this is a day of celebration, I extend to each of you a sincere congratulations. You have worked very hard to be here and I look forward to the work we will do together on behalf of all Queen City residents.
"Thank you to everyone that has worked to make today possible. From Matt Normand and his team in the City Clerks office, to everyone here at the Palace Theatre, Scott Spradling for acting as our emcee and to my friend Bill Skouteris who has led this effort. Thank you.
"I would ask that the following groups and individuals to stand as you are called and remain standing. The Memorial High School Jazz Band, the West High School ROTC Color Guard, Danny McMillan, Jondany Cruz, Hannah Delharty, Austin Eaton, Alexline Gbaley, Alexis Gregory and Eliana Emanus. Thank you for being here today and celebrating with us.
"These students are our future and as Mayor of this great city I am extremely proud and I am honored to stand amongst them and I know that someday one of them will be where I am standing ready to lead our city. Thank you.
"Since I first stood before you four years ago we have collectively realized many achievements together. Despite the economic downturn this state and country have realized Manchester has continued to find ways to invest in our future. We have done this by placing our partisan differences aside and working together to find common ground. Today services in Manchester continue to be second to none. We continue to offer new opportunities to city students and economic development is widespread across the city.
"Today, I ask that you remind yourself about what's possible when we are able to work together and leave here today looking forward with optimism and possibility towards our future.
"Today, I stand before you and I ask those of you in this audience, the residents of the Queen City, those that work throughout city government and everyone beside me who is elected to govern at City Hall to look forward.
"Let's begin with the solution, find a way to reach it and refuse to settle for anything less. When it comes to the future of the beloved Queen City I think we can call agree that when we look forward:
"We see safe streets and our loved ones being protected;
"We see the best schools for our children;
"We see city students being offered every educational opportunity to succeed;
"We see city residents continuing to receive the quality city services they expect and deserve;
"We see the Queen City continuing to retain and attract business so we can maintain our vibrant economic base.
"When we look forward, with these goals in mind, the solution is quite obvious - we must commit to Manchester's future and invest in it. I learned in business that if you can prove the value then decisions and buy-ins will follow.
"Like all Queen City residents I am concerned when it comes to crime in our city. I am frustrated that crimes like burglary and robbery continue despite the Manchester Police Department's high conviction rate and successful prosecution of these cases.
"As your Mayor I am not just willing to just accept this frustration and make the assumption that this is the way life is going to be and move on. Keeping our city safe is paramount to moving our city forward. When I look forward I see the solution including more officers in our neighborhoods, dedicated downtown foot patrols and strengthened community watch groups.
"At the first meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday, January 21st, I have asked Police Chief David Mara and Assistant Chief Nick Willard to present a plan to the Board and all Queen City residents to stop the trend once and for all. I have asked that this plan include options, benchmarks and expected outcomes based on investment.
"There are so many of us on this stage, and in this audience, that are products of the Manchester School District. I am proud to be a part of this distinguished group. As Mayor I visit our city schools regularly and I am pleased with the progress that we are making for our city students. Our principals, teachers and administrators go above and beyond everyday for our city students, but we need to do more.
"When I look forward, I want for all of our students to be reading at a third grade level by the time they complete the third grade. Reading is the key building block for all success in life. It is the solution for all the next steps and if we commit to this investment at the elementary level I am confident that we will see students aptitude increase and test scores rise.
"Currently in three of our fourteen elementary schools there is a program called Reading Plus provided by the Granite United Way. Already we have seen outstanding results with this program. In 18 weeks students enrolled in reading plus jump two grade levels.
"Our new Superintendent Dr. Debra Livingston is in the audience today along with her administrative team and in the coming weeks she will present to the Board of School Committee the positive impact Reading Plus is having on our students. She will provide hard data to the Board of School Committee regarding the value of the program and the benefits of its expansion. I know all of our school principals along with the Granite United Way will partner on this initiative and provide us with the road map to guide our students and parents so we can realize this success.
"I would be remiss if I did not also take this opportunity to discuss the STEAM Ahead program. We are all aware that more graduates with skill and knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics will drive economic development. With the leadership of Mayor Baines STEAM Ahead addresses these same concerns but also includes the study of the arts, which is imperative for our students to think creatively, critically, and collaboratively.
"The STEAM Ahead program, was approved by the Manchester School Board, it will begin as a pilot program at West High School in the fall of 2014 and will enable students to earn a minimum of one year of college credits, that's 30 credits, by the time they graduate high school at no cost to the students or their parents.
"This program will not only allow students to earn college credit but it will also provide them with internship opportunities with local companies and organizations, like Dyn, SilverTech, AutoFair, the Palace Theatre and the Currier Museum of Art.
"Along with the students our teachers will be provided with a wide variety of professional development opportunities. As teachers they are the primary engagers of students and STEAM education, it is critical to provide them with research on how students learn with emerging technologies and strategies to support more students in the STEAM fields.
"This is what makes STEAM Ahead so special, a true collaboration of our community.
"It is almost unimaginable to think that so many players would come to the table, put their self-interest aside, and create a program that will change the lives of students within Manchester. Even though STEAM Ahead is still in the planning stage, it seems it is already teaching us some valuable lessons. Mayor Baines please Continue the hard work.
"While safety and education in our city are undoubtedly the most import two issues we face in this city we can not make these investments at the expense of other city services and other city departments. Residents in this city expect and deserve topnotch services from their government and we must continue to offer that value.
"For the past four years the smaller departments in this city such as the city clerk, the tax collector, the finance department, planning and building and the assessors office, just to name a few, have been asked to do more with less - they have done so willingly and without complaint.
"City departments have streamlined services and I am pleased that departments across the board, in the city of Manchester are doing more with less. However, we are at a crossroads and we are nearly at the tipping point.
"As I look forward I see us continuing to provide these services and finding new sources of revenue outside the traditional tax base to supplement them. Over the course of the next ten weeks, and well before I present a budget, we will hear from various department heads about new revenue opportunities within the city so we can continue to improve city services and most importantly include taxpayers in the conversation.
"In every corner of our city there's economic development happening:
"at the Airport Wiggins Airways is building a new hangar;
"on the west side Job Corps will open in the next 18 months and;
"on South Elm Street River's Edge continues to develop.
"Here in the Queen City we are also fortunate to have access to two great assets - McIntyre Ski Area and the Derryfield Country Club. There is no community in the State of New Hampshire or our region that can boast these resources to their residents. I make a point to mention this because these resources are essential to the economic development of our city.
"When I look forward I see the solution to maintaining our economic edge by bringing technology resources to our city residents so we can highlight our assets and provide resources including real estate listings, activity listings for places like the Palace Theatre and city information like, "will my trash be picked up today" to city residents.
"For four years we have talked about an app for the city and in 2014 we, with the help of others, and with the lead of our Economic Development Director will develop an app for the Queen City. Our app will be a "must-have" for city residents, families outside our city, visitors and business professionals. In 2014 it's time that economic development in this city not only be proactive, but interactive for everyone.
"When we look forward, and we start with the solution our path will be clear. For many of us, myself included, there will be uneasy moments where we will want to fall back to the standard of today, but my sincere hope is that we will leave here today looking forward and agree to raise our standards of both professionalism and performance.
"We can do this through respect of each others opinion, providing and sharing information without false motivation, by thinking of the city as a whole and not as a singular ward and by rising above argument and contention for the sole purpose of looking forward to the solution and reaching it.
"My friends and colleagues I remain committed to the future of our Queen City and I pledge to you today that I will look forward so the Manchester of tomorrow is better than the Manchester we know today.
"Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the City of Manchester."

By the way, the Boston Bruins actually practiced today at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington while everyone's eyes were glued to the trade deadline.
And there was some big news, as winger Milan Lucic, out since last Thursday with an upper-body injury, declared himself ready to return to action. Head coach Claude Julien was only willing to commit to the notion that Lucic is a possibility to play against Phoenix tomorrow night, but the day-to-day forward said he expects to play.
As for what set off Lucic and made him pummel Anaheim's Mike Brown in a one-sided fight that's widely believed to have been when Lucic suffered his injury, Lucic offered this take:
"I just drove the net and … as I recall and as I look at the replays and stuff, I did everything I could to try to get out of the goalie's way. I didn't even touch the goalie at all. Three of them came up to me and next thing I knew, Brown dropped his gloves. He hit me right in the face. If there's a fight or what not, obviously there's that 'code' that everyone talks about: when a guy is down, you don't do something like that. When you're down 3-0 and you want to send a message, I don't think jumping someone or doing something like that is a good way to go about it."
"If they asked, I would've been more than willing to participate in the aftermath," he concluded. "But that's just what happened."
To refresh your memory, here's the fight:

In an interview in issue 96 of OXM Epic Games art director Chris Perna says that "everybody copied us and copied our look, and the market was flooded with Gears clones, which hurts the original."
he must be reffering to the people that uses the unreal engine
That made me laugh.
because Gears is not a clone of RE4...yeah
and this cockery reminds me of Ninja Theory and Mercury Steam...
am I seeing a trend here?
what made Gears true next gen AAA M$ PR millions?
don't try to misinform us. now way in the article it said they took some stuff from Gears
"We consider the Uncharted franchise to be the very best of the generation. But it wouldn't be the series we know today without an outside influence.
According to what former Naughty Dog environment modeler Don Poole told Play, Uncharted was originally supposed to be a "fantasy game." Then, Sony forced them to make the debut effort "more realistic."
It seems the team had something "much more far out" planned, and that included a forest world where people lived underground. Poole said it definitely had "elements of Tolkien" but with gritty shooters like Gears of War getting so much attention, Sony wanted Naughty Dog to adapt. Said Poole:
"Sony kept pushing for a more realistic game in all respects. The market had changed a lot by then. The demographic was older and gritty shooters were really dominating. Sony wanted very much to get into that market share, it pushed all of its developers in this direction.
So the big push from Sony, not just at Naughty Dog but at all of Sony's development companies at the time, was to craft games for PlayStation 3 that were much more realistic. The pressure from Xbox's success with gritty shooters was a very real force on our direction at that time."
Poole went on to say there was a lot of "internal grumbling" about the whole realism thing, because so many of the guys were from the Crash Bandicoot and Jak era, and they complained about the new style. "But alas, it was a losing battle." Ah, but what a way to "lose."
it was shooters in general not Gears only because ND unveiled Uncharted the same time Gears was released.
wasn't Resident Evil 4 the game that made over the over-the-shoulder shooter work?
don't see Epic giving it any credit.
re4 was not the first over the shoulder shooter! Tired of saying this. These new age gamers getting on my nerves.
RE4 doesn't even play like gears. It doesnt have the pacing or the grit of gears
Gears is hardly a clone of RE4, hell you can't even walk and shoot at the same time in resi 4, let alone snap into cover anywhere you see fit. Only things they have in common is the third person view and arguably the content and gore factor.
Of course it did anything coming out of M$ or their developers mouth does.
Uncharted does borrow a lot from Gears and Tomb Raider. If you don't see it you're blind as a bat. Gears borrows from Kill Switch but pulls it off by making the game different. There is nothing about any of the Uncharted games that makes it an original idea. Only thing Uncharted didn't copy was the steroid junky look.
No he's saying other games like this copied them:
oh wait
that's exactly what I was going to say. First thing I thought when I played Gears. Loved Kill.Switch. idk why, wasn't spectacular by any means but it was a blast. Been wishing they'd revisit that game.... true true. truth be told, finally!
You do realize the lead designer of kill switch was hired by epic games to work on gears right?
Gears is a spectacul series, period!
Looking very forward to playing Gears Judgment. I've replayed all3 Gears games in "Campaign Co-op" something the entire Uncharted series can't do.
Gears games sell well because of Story, Campaign, Horde Mode, Campaign Co-op, Multiplayer, and it's hilarious and serious at the same time.
Nathan Drake copied Gears of War as well. Totally.
I mean, also, the game called Winback, totally stole from Gears. Gears was the pinnacle of Third Person Shooters and totally the first of its kind.
I've totally never seen Roid-boosted tank-men with muscles the size of an elephants' cock. with giant Boombox-armor. That and soldiers who can try so hard to strive to look and sound like a hardass and somehow survive countless wars WITOHUT a fucking helmet. Gears of Helmetless War.
All I want to know was if the sub-woofer boobs were necessary?
That's what the Killswitch devs said about you, Epic. Epic thinks they invented the cover system. smh
Control+F and search the word "cover", the entire article doesn't even contain the word. No where did Epic say they invented cover, and neither were they talking about cover in this case. Please stop making yourself look like fool. smh
On point, it's a bad excuse for being stereotyped. The only thing stereotypical are the characters and the unnecessary "manliness", everything else is unique about the franchise. They shouldn't even be talking about this, sure manyy games have been influenced by gears' formula, regardless of what they invented or innovated, but that's not why gears is stereotyped. Furthermore, Judgment wasn't really hyped nor asked for by the fans, everyone wanted a gears 4 for the next xbox.
Gears of War has some of the most unique artwork around and yes, people copied a lot of that with the gritty look.
The Gears of War world is fantastic, and the few that are hating on it's success isn't going to bring the series down. Consumers have already chosen.
GoW: Judgement wasn't asked for, but I'm sure am excited about it. To get my hands on and try the newer fast paced Gears.
i dont hate on gears, its just that epic thinks they reinvented the 3rd person shooter genre and everyone copied their ideas.
There are many aspects of gears contained in other games, but just few of them are not copied themselves by epic in the first case (like cover system from killswitch)
you want gritty look? play silent hill 2, max payne or thief.
over the shoulder camera -> re4 (only to name one).
what is it exactly thats so unique to gears and got copied by so many other games that it appears to be generic?
You're fragmenting their ideas and allocating them to potential sources so obviously it looks like nothing new was innovated. But it's the collection of all these borrowed ideas in a formula that's so easily accessible is what makes gears innovative.
On top of that the borrowed features were much improved than they were in the original games. Killswitch had cover system but it wasnt the smoothest and in re4 you couldn't move while aiming so what the heck. Gears took the formula and made the action dependant on it, stop n pop, magnetized cover mechanics, dbno, executions, roadie running, even the simple rolling evasive manouvers are essential in playing the game properly.
And dont even forget multiplayer, no other third person shooter before it could run as smooth as gears and so competitive at the same time. I loved battlefront but it was clunky conpared to gears.
So u need to understand, its not just the "idea" that can be innovative but innovation can come from gameplay, engine fluidity, and just the general combination of features that may have been invented by someone else. Acclaimed scientists often are credited for innovating things invented by other, take graham bell for example.
It is not the individual ideas, but the overall implementation together of it. The overall feel of the game. How the character moves, the buttons react and so on.
It's as if you read a novel, then stop to say this guys father died so this idea is copied from this other book that has his father die too. Yet, there is so much more around it, like circumstances, back story, story telling and so on.
Stealing is more like when you make a clone of it, like let say BF3 single player campaign heavily mimics Modern Warfare or Quantum Theory looks and feels like an inferior Gears of War.
Then again, consumers don't care as they just want good games, whether it be clone or not.
yes precisely what i was trying to say!
Yea because you guys didn't copy Re4 and Kill Switch right? Give me a break
Its still funny that people claim they didnt copied RE4 when Cliff himself admitted that much.
cliff : Soon after playing the heck out of games like Resident Evil 4 and Kill.Switch, we realised we wanted a game that had a fun, summer, blockbuster-feeling campaign, with integrated co-op, and a solid, if simple, multiplayer.
where did he say we did copy the gameplay or the camera from KS or RE4 ? he just say we thought of having fun campaign - coop instead of MP only .
Yeah because they will totally admit that they copied the formula that RE 4 created.
Of course they will tell you that they only took a slight inspiration, its not a rip off but its not like they can credit themselves that Gears was revolutionary to gaming (Wich they did) like RE 4 was.
Man I just love how much idiocy I've been seeing lately from Epic and CliffyB.
Didn't this start off horror-survival in a military setting?
Yeah, raided out dudes learning to walk while covered in glue sticking them to every wall they brush up against....
I really liked the first one, and the single player in all three is fun, the multiplayer died for me when everyone found out it was better to not use the cover system hardly at all and roll around like acrobats.
They ought to thank Winback for influencing the cover system.
Gears of War inspired quite a few games. Sure Epic wasn't the first to create the cover mechanic but they were the first to really deliver a true next generation, third person AAA title (WinBack and kill.switch averaged 60-75 on metacritic) that centered around this mechanic and used it well. Hell, even Sony took notice and pushed their developers towards that direction. If it wasn't for this, Uncharted might have been a very different game.
"It seems the team had something "much more far out" planned, and that included a forest world where people lived underground. Poole said it definitely had "elements of Tolkien" but with gritty shooters like Gears of War getting so much attention, Sony wanted Naughty Dog to adapt."
It sounds like the old way games where presented has changed from fantasy/cartoony type games to more of real world type games,the influence seems to be indirect than direct.
To be fair Gears 2 revived the huge enemy waves game modes in many games, such as call of duty's Nazi-zombies, Halo's Firefight and Mass Effects' Galaxy at war.
Great point! It seems every game has some kind of Horde mode now.
To be even more fair, Resistance 2 came out at the same time and did it, as well. Ted Price and Cliffy B bounced ideas off each other and it shows. Play Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2 back to back. The similarities are uncanny!
Or maybe it's the simplicity of the entire series. Simple pots, simple characters, simple mechanics, it's all really simple. There's nothing wrong with that either, the more they embrace Gears of War for what it is the better the series will get. Keep it simple and make it fun, leave it to other games to be profound and moving.
If your talking about Over-the-Shoulder there are some games did it before RE4 such as Splinter cell 2002 .
thats funny didnt gears copy the gameplay of killswitch?
Studios copied gears of war and Epic sold the unreal engine to any studios who want the engine, so at the end all games made with the unreal engine became generic.
I would say its more the fault of Epic than those who try to copy them.
Btw, even id software stopped to sell his own engine to other developpers, maybe epic should do the same:)
Funny i just figured bulky roided up soldiers were a side effect of using the unreal engine, because early on you could always tell which games used the unreal 3 engine .
Because they looked exactly the same as the last game you played.
Christ almighty, the ambulatory braindeaths in this thread. They're talking about the LOOK, people. Not the cover system, or the view angle, which they've freely admitted in the past to be second-hand goods. They're talking about the aesthetic.
Demolished buildings covered in arse gravy is not a unique aesthetic, even by 2005 standards.
Well yes, I suppose if you massively over-simplify things then no, it's not a unique aesthetic.
So the alpha male with a gun fighting monsters was invented in 2000s. That's new to me.
I've never liked the Gears art style, everyone looks like they've been on steroids since they were ten.
That makes a lot of sense. I always wondered why they always shout obsanities when you missed a perfect reload... Must be the roid rage...
Everyone hates the manliness because they're intimidated.
-true story
Amazing how much credit Gears receives for ideas they ripped from other games....
Waved based survival
Their entire story
over the should view
Gears of War is stereotypical for many reasons not just one.
Epic thinks people are morons. The duck and shoot mechanic had already been done in Kill Switch. Over the shoulder camera, Resident Evil 4. I even remember Cliff raving about RE4's over the shoulder camera during a guest appearance on the g4tech channel in 2004. Suddenly Epic thinks they were ripped off.
HAHAHAHAHA look basically Films with over muscled space marines shooting stuff have existed for decades, and those warhammer games and the actual pieces existed long before Gears (I used to know people that collected them-I never did understand why?) And that's not the only thing about it that makes it stereotypical...

She was born in Canada in 1909 to Anna and Adolph Schilke. The family settled in the U.S., where they became naturalized citizens. Gertrude learned the English language in the Buffalo City Schools and graduated from Hutchinson Central High School. In 1929, she graduated from Buffalo State Teachers College with a degree in education. She taught in the Buffalo City Schools and retired in 1968 from the Grand Island school system.
Gertrude was a longtime resident of Grand Island, where she and her beloved Howard raised their family. She was a founding member of St. Timothy Lutheran Church and was a past president of the Order of Amaranths.
Gertrude enjoyed an active life on the river, spending her time swimming, boating and just contemplating the beauty of the Niagara. She also was an avid bicyclist and reader. She loved hosting square dances at her home.
Gertrude is survived by her children: Trudy (James) O'Connor, Eric (Elizabeth) Reimann, Claire (Stephen) Royce, and Timothy (Margaret Aliene) Reimann.

Never mind the Snowden defection to the
Soviet Union Russia (which really is an old-style defection, with a decent interval to fool the American media); how about Obama's obviously risible claim that "Al Qaeda is on the run." Yeah, because one way you keep terrorists on the run is to . . . close 21 embassies. Riiiighht.
This warning is supposedly based on increased "chatter." I expect this is true. I also suspect Al Qaeda isn't stupid–especially if they're getting advice from a first class intelligence service from someplace like–oh, I don't know, how about Tehran–so they'll work our chatter collectors for the purpose of misdirection. So I suspect if there is an attack, it will happen in a location somewhere else. More likely, there will be no attack at all; it will be used by Obama to claim a triumph of pre-emptive action, while Al Qaeda will use it to learn what works and doesn't work in concealing their communications and planning from us. They're patient. Next time the "chatter" will be our chattering class afterward wondering why we didn't "connect the dots."
Still another theory is that there is no threat at all. Benghazi is creeping back into the headlines. Coincidence?

Prostate enlargement, or benign prostatic hyerplasia (BPH) is extremely common to men as they age. More than half of men in their sixties and as many as 90 percent of men in their seventies and beyond exhibit some symptoms of BPH.
The prostate grows gradually throughout much of a man's life. Eventually, the growth can cause the prostate to begin to press against the urethra. When this happens, it interrupts the urine stream in much the same way that stepping on a garden hose would interrupt water flow. This can cause discomfort or pain, and can even lead to bladder damage if untreated.
Age is the only risk factor, so there's no way of avoiding BPH. The prostate undergoes two major growth spurts: the onset of puberty and at around age 25. This second growth period continues throughout a man's life, but doesn't usually cause problems until later in life.
Some men exhibit no symptoms of age-related prostate enlargement, or BPH, while others:
If untreated, BPH can lead to such serious complications as:
Sometimes BPH is diagnosed because the patient reports the symptoms to his doctor. But at other times the condition is uncovered during a routine checkup.
All men over the age of 40 are urged to have an annual digital rectal exam, or DRE. Your doctor will use a rubber glove and inserted a lubricated finger into the rectum to feel for the shape and texture of the prostate. This examination can reveal the possibility of a full range of prostate-related conditions including BPH.
If your doctor suspects enlargement as a concern, you will be asked to undergo one or more of a range of tests to positively diagnose BPH and to rule out cancer. These tests include:
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test: PSA, a protein produced in the prostate, is often found at elevated levels in the bloodstreams of men with cancerous prostates.
Rectal Ultrasound: This is another test that can be administered when cancer is suspected. A probe carefully placed in the rectum emits sound waves whose echo pattern forms an image of the prostate gland on a display monitor, allowing your doctor to detect a diseased organ.
Cystoscopy: Once the area is numbed, a small tube, or cystoscope, is inserted into the urethra through the penis. This instrument contains a light and camera lens so that the doctor can see the inside of the urethra and the bladder on a screen, and detect obstruction from an enlarged prostate.
Urine Flow Study: Your doctor might ask you to urinate into a device that measures the force of the urine stream. Reduced flow suggests prostate blockage.
Mild prostate enlargement is sometimes left untreated. It might be only when the conditions brings on discomfort or even health risk that treatment is offered. Your doctor might instead wish to keep an eye on the situation with regular checkups.
When the condition does require treatment, it can take various forms:
Several drugs have been proven effective at shrinking or at least stopping the growth of the enlarged prostate. These include:
Finasteride: Available under the product name Proscar, inhibits products of the hormone involved in prostate enlargement. The drug can be effective in stopping the enlargement and, in some men, even in shrinking the prostate.
Dutasteride: Available under product name Avodart. Works much the same way as finasteride.
Alpha Blockers: This family of drugs includes terazosin (marketed as Hytrin), doxazosin (Cardura), tamsulosin (Flomax), and alfuzosin (Uroxatral). All of these drugs relax the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck to reduce obstruction and improve urine flow.
Finasteride/Doxazosin: When used together, these two drugs are especially effective in many cases.
Minimally invasive surgery can be performed in your urologist's office with little or no recovery time. If drug therapy proves ineffective, this is most likely your next option. Minimally invasive therapy includes:
Transurethral Microwave Procedures: This consists of two different treatment options, both of which use microwave technology to heat and destroy excess prostate tissue. Although it sounds painful, microwave technology can be administered on an outpatient basis in about an hour, and without anesthetic. While it doesn't cure BPH, microwave technology can reduce urination problems brought on by the enlargement.
Transurethral Needle Ablation (TUNA): This is another method of burning away excess tissue. Through the TUNA System, low-level radiofrequency energy is delivered to the targeted area while shielding protect the rest of the nearby urinary tract.
In rare instanced where neither drugs nor minimally invasive surgery are effective, the next recourse is surgery. Only the obstructing, enlarged tissue will be removed, and the prostate should retain its full function. Your doctor will consider three forms of surgery:
Transurethral Surgery: This method involves no external incisions. Through a process known as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), an instrument is entered into the body through the urethra after anesthesia is administered, and used to cut and flush away excess tissue. This instrument, a resectoscope, contains a light, valves to direct the flow of water to remove the tissue, and an electrical loop that cuts tissue and cauterizes blood vessels. Once the surgeon cuts the obstructive tissue, the water flushes it into the patient's bladder. From there, it's expelled from the body in the next urine stream. The operation takes about 90 minutes, and recovery time is brief, although the patient will require an overnight stay in a hospital.
Open Surgery: If the prostate is particularly enlarged, or the bladder is damaged and must be repaired, or there are other complicating factors, conventional surgery might be the best option.
Laser Surgery: This method involves a laser inserted through the urethra into the prostate through a cystoscope. Several laser bursts, each 30-60 seconds in duration, vaporize the obstructive tissue. There's little blood loss and recovery time is briefer than for conventional surgery.
Regardless of the surgical method your physician recommends, there will be a recovery time. Your physician will ask that you do the following for a period of time following your surgery:
For the first few days after surgery, you might experience:
These conditions should improve once your bladder regains full functioning, however but if the blood in the urine is rich red in color or there's clotting, call your doctor.
You should regain full sexual function, though perhaps not immediately. In fact, it could take as long as one year to perform as before. If you had the ability to attain an erection before surgery, this should return. However, sterility could occur in that the surgical procedure might cut through the muscle that normally channels semen into the penis. As a result of the loss of this muscle, the semen is rerouted into the bladder and is later expelled in the urine stream.
As a final treatment option when all else fails, prostatic stents are spring-like devices that are inserted into the urethra to the blockage area. When the device springs open, it pushes back the obstructive prostate tissue, once again allowing full urine flow.

Justin Bieber charged with assault, dangerous driving after accident
STRATFORD — Pop music heartthrob Justin Bieber is in hot water again — this time, on his home turf in Perth County after a reported run-in with paparazzi.
But the hitmaker's Canadian lawyer, Brian Greenspan, is blaming the celebrity-chasing media.
Bieber, 20, was charged with dangerous driving and assault after a reported collision between an ATV and a minivan near Stratford, near the gated rural estate the pop star bought for his father.
The ATV driver "engaged in a physical altercation" with the van's occupant, the OPP said Tuesday.
His Canadian lawyer, Brian Greenspan, in a statement indicated Bieber was at the rural spread Friday with on-again-off-again girlfriend, actor-singer Selena Gomez, having a "peaceful retreat" that "was unfortunately disrupted by the unwelcome presence of paparazzi."
"This has regrettably resulted in charges of dangerous driving and assault. Mr. Bieber and Ms. Gomez have fully co-operated in the police investigation," Greenspan wrote. "We are hopeful that this matter will be quickly resolved."
Bieber could be in deeper trouble because of the latest Canadian charges.
Now serving a two-year probation in California for egging his neighbour's home, he could be ordered to return for a court hearing for not keeping his nose clean, one lawyer said.
"He could land himself in some trouble with the probation department there," said Brendon Basiga, a London lawyer who also practises law in Michigan.
Basiga said Bieber might have issues crossing the border back into the U.S. because of the outstanding charges. "It's very likely he's going to have to stick around Canada for the next little while."
"Whether you have a conviction or a charge does not necessarily matter at the border. The border patrol agents are granted extremely wide latitude," he said.
Bieber might be allowed back into the U.S. for the limited purpose of dealing with his probation — before a judge.
"There's very likely going to be a probation violation hearing of some kind," said Basiga.
Tensions were high inside the gated estate northeast of Shakespeare where Bieber and Lopez had been staying before the alleged incident, a home the pop star bought two winters ago for his father. After QMI Agency reporters parked nearby on a public road, a caller in the home phoned police, complaining of trespassing. The call brought an immediate response from OPP, who arrived within a minute or two in a couple of cruisers soon joined by a police van.
A neighbour in a farm that overlooks the property says it appeared Bieber and Gomez had been enjoying a quiet time together, with tents and a bouncy castle set up on the grounds behind the home. The photos of the couple together on an ATV appeared to have been taken by paparazzi from adjacent properties, including her own, without permission, the neighbour said.
The neighbour declined to identify herself, saying she tries to keep out of the Biebers' business.
"It's a hornet's nest," the neighbour said.

Netflix trading at pre-plunge levels
NEW YORK (AP) — Netflix shares are trading at levels not seen since 2011 when it lost hundreds of thousands of customers after hiking prices for people who wanted continued access to DVDs as well as its streaming service.
The company's stock jumped another 4 percent Wednesday to a 52-week high and are up nearly 40 percent since the start of the month.
The cost of a company share is actually rising more sharply than the lead up to the all-time high near $305 reached in July 2011, right before the change the subscription plan for which CEO Reed Hastings later apologized.
Netflix later acknowledged that it had lost 800,000 U.S. subscribers between July and September, much worse that it had expected.
But Hastings never backed down on the new price plan and Netflix pushed hard into the streaming side of the business. It has also produced its first original in "House of Cards" to some acclaim.
Shares have come roaring back from south of $53, where they labored just last summer.
The debate has begun all over again about how best to value a company that dominates the market, but has competition lurking all around it.
RBC Capital Markets believes that the market still hasn't realized the company's true worth, saying that the domestic streaming business could generate $10 in earnings per share within the next three to five years.
"We continue to believe that Netflix has achieved a level of sustainable scale, growth, and profitability that isn't currently reflected in its stock price," analyst Mark Mahaney wrote this week.
He backed his "outperform" rating and $250 price target for the stock.
Shares of Netflix Inc., based in Los Gatos, Calif., rose $9.49 to $243.46 in midday trading.

Tenor Alagna and soprano Kurzak having a baby
September 30, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) — Tenor Roberto Alagna and soprano Aleksandra Kurzak have something to sing about: They're having a baby.
The Metropolitan Opera announced Monday that Kurzak has withdrawn from a revival of Verdi's "Rigoletto" because of her pregnancy.
The Met says Kurzak will be replaced by Irina Lungu in the first three performances of the run that opens Nov. 1 and by Sonya Yoncheva in the final five.
Alagna married soprano Angela Gheorghiu in 1996 on stage at the Metropolitan Opera with then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani presiding. Gheorghiu said in 2009 they had been separated for two years and were divorcing. They later reconciled, but Gheorghiu said in January they were divorcing.

Publisher's Description
Soluto is a Anti-Frustration Software that combines low-level technology with collective user wisdom to detect PC users' frustrations, reveal their causes, and learn which actions really eliminate them to improve user experience. All this data is gathered in Soluto's PC Genome, a knowledgebase of frustrations and solutions built automatically through the usage of Soluto software, for the benefit of all PC users.
Soluto includes 3 main features: - Chop Boot allows you to understand your boot, discover which applications are slowing it down (and keep running later in the background, affecting your ongoing experience), and allows you to significantly improve it. Lighten Web Browser - Shows you which toolbars, add-ons and plug-ins are 'riding' on your browser, what they do, and what they look like. Helps you easily remove unneeded ones, making your browser faster and more stable, and shows you whether other users chose to keep them or disable them. It also lets you revert back to your search provider of choice in case it was 'hijacked' by other software. Heal Crashes - Changes the way you experience application crashes (that is, when applications unexpectedly 'die' and prompt Windows to send 'Crash Report' dialogs), analyzes application crashes against tens of millions of crashes already collected, and finds solutions to prevent them from recurring.

Loango Chimpanzee Project
Directed by Tobias Deschner
Loango National Park
Loango National Park is unique with its mosaic of habitat types which vary from marine, coastal lagoons, mangrove swamps, coastal forest, secondary and primary forest to open savannah. It is ecologically distinctive from other sites where long term research on chimpanzees has been conducted and therefore will provide us with new aspects on variability in chimpanzee diet, social behavior, culture, and population dynamics.
Background of the Project
The initial project began in 2005 as the 'Loango Ape Project', which combined both research on chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) and western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) in Loango National Park. The two projects are now managed separately since 2015 when the funding of the Gorilla project was handed over to the 'Agence National des Parc Nationaux' (ANPN). The Loango Gorilla Project is now run by the ANPN whilst the Loango Chimpanzee Project (LCP) is managed by The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in collaboration with the ANPN.
Current Fieldwork at the Loango Chimpanzee Project
Within the first years of the project research was focused on population genetics, habitat use and feeding competition between chimpanzees, gorillas, and elephants as well as exploitation of underground bee nests by chimpanzees. Therefore data collection focused mainly on remote video camera trapping as well as fecal sample collection and phenology. Since 2013, our key focus at LCP has shifted to the habituation the Rekambo chimpanzee community. This community was first identified in 2006 and now consists of an estimated 60+ individuals within a study area of around 45 square km2. Fieldwork involves full day forest walks in an attempt to locate and follow members of the Rekambo community. At present around 10 individuals of the community are habituated enough to be followed for longer periods of time (6-10 hours). A camera trapping program has also been used for identification purposes in order to learn more about the composition of the Rekambo community.
In addition to our habituation efforts we also collect data on:
- the feeding ecology of the chimpanzees through analysis of fecal samples, feeding remains left by the chimpanzees, and a phenology study composed of 75+ species
- the progress of habituation by monitoring chimpanzee behavioral responses to observer presence
- genetic, hormonal and pathogen analysis from non-invasive sampling of feces
- camera trapping for biomonitoring, tool-use studies and chimpanzee identification within and around the core study area
Between 2005 and 2008 Chimpanzee fecal samples were collected opportunistically for analyses in a 132 km2 area of Loango National Park. Genotyping the non-invasively collected fecal samples presented valuable insights into general population dynamics as well as the structure of the Rekambo community. From 2008 onwards fecal samples continued to be collected on an opportunistic basis to study the genetic structure of both chimpanzee and gorilla communities within the study site. Currently in Loango fecal samples of the two species are collected not only for genetic analyses, but as well for investigating hormone levels and pathogen prevalence. In 2014, in addition to the opportunistic sampling a project was started in which fecal samples were collected systematically for both Chimpanzees and Gorillas, for a PhD project by Laura Hagemann. She aims to examine group dynamics and genetic structure of the two sympatric species, using both the past opportunistic samples and those collected since 2014. The hormone samples we collect will eventually contribute to assessing variability in stress levels in relation to food availability and grouping patterns in the communities under research.
Future Aims
Loango is different from most other chimpanzee research sites due to the high abundance of forest elephants, the presence of gorillas, and the relatively drastic changes in habitat type from the ocean shore inwards across the Rekambo territory. It is therefore our goal to investigate how this exceptional combination of ecological parameters has shaped specific aspects of chimpanzee community structure, home range use and overlap, feeding ecology, interspecific competition, pathogen prevalence and tool use.

Ozouga field camp:
The Ozouga camp is located at the end of a long stretch of savannah which runs parallel to the Atlantic coast line. At Camp we try to be as self-sustainable as possible; all drinking water is collected on-site via rain catchment systems and one underground well, whilst water for showering and washing comes from a small forest river. We have three solar panels which provide us with enough electricity for charging our GPS devices and electronic equipment. The camp has seen huge improvements in recent years, most notably the addition of cabins in 2015, as opposed to tents. We now have 7 main sleeping rooms, an office, dining room, kitchen and semi-covered fireplace. Transport to and from the nearest village is made possible by two off-road quadbikes and one two-seater buggy. We possess as well a Landover which is used for transporting people and materials from the major cities.
Field staff:
Our field team is composed of 5 indigenous pygmy trackers, 2 local Eco-guides, 3 expat research assistants, a cook, a driver and a camp manager. Although this group is constantly changing, we have several long-term contracts with certain trackers and guides who are valuable sources of knowledge and experience.

I really enjoyed this book because I love horses. In some parts I felt excited and sometimes I felt scared. It did not remind me of anything in my life, but I loved the book.
I recommend this book to other boys and girls who love horses. If you like horse adventures I think you would like this book.

Eastern Market's Shed 5 will be transformed into a Detroit winter wonderland tonight as part of the last Third Thursday event of the year.
The event will feature a Michigan artisan market, including vendors such as graffiti jewelry-maker Rebel Nell L3C and soap manufacturer Cellar Door Soap & Skin, and a food truck rally, said La'Leatha Spillers, director of marketing and communications for Eastern Market Corp.
She said EMC began hosting the events on the third Thursday of every month in September as another option to get people to visit the Eastern Market district after dark.
"It's not a traditional Saturday market; think more goods and less food," said Spillers.
Each Third Thursday event has a different theme. The winter wonderland theme for December is family oriented, she said.
Visitors can have their picture taken with Santa by students from the College for Creative Studies for $5 and participate in a Toys for Tots Foundation drive by bringing an unwrapped gift to donate.
The event runs 5-9 p.m. in Shed 5, which is indoors and heated.

Hemophilia and Inherited Bleeding Disorders
Hemophilia and her period
What happens if a girl who has hemophilia has her period? Can she hemorrige?
Girls with hemophilia often have problems with heavy periods. The lower the level of clotting factor in her blood, the more severe the bleeding with periods is likely to be. However, heavy bleeding with periods can be controlled with the proper medications.

BRONSON TOWNSHIP � All three girls in a pick up truck were injured Monday afternoon when the teenaged driver lost control and hit a tree on Rierson Rd just after 2 p.m.
The driver lost control headed north on the dirt road a quarter mile north of Cranson Rd. The truck went off the west side and slammed its right front side into a tree.
An employee of a seed company heard the girls crying for help as he checked a field of seed corn nearby and called 911.
The Bronson Fire Department said the 16-year old driver and her five year old sister were able to get out but the 18-year passenger, her brother�s fiancee, was trapped in the passenger�s seat. The side and floor or the 1991 Dodge 150 pick up collapsed pinning her leg and foot.
Firemen took extra precautions because of leaking gasoline as they worked to free her using the jaws of life. All three were taken to Community Health Center in two LifeCare ambulances.
The girls had planned an afternoon of swimming. The pet duck they had with them did not suffer any injury.
Branch County Sheriff Office (BCSO) and Bronson Police assisted at the scene. Michigan state Police did not release the names of the girls. The truck was registered to William Green of 760 Cranson Rd.

The dollar gained, while U.S. stocks fluctuated and Treasuries pared an advance, as investors awaited tomorrow's Federal Reserve statement for clues to the central bank's bond-buying plans. Australia's dollar fell as the central bank indicated it may lower interest rates.
The Bloomberg Dollar Index, a gauge of the currency against 10 major peers, jumped 0.3% to 1,026.85 as of 3:19 p.m. in New York. The S&P 500 added 0.1% to 1,687.32 and is up 5% in July, its biggest monthly gain since January. Ten- year Treasury yields were little changed at 2.60% after losing three basis points earlier. The Aussie weakened at least 0.6% against its 16 major peers, tumbling 1.6% versus its U.S. counterpart. The S&P GSCI gauge of 24 raw materials slipped 0.9% for a fifth straight drop as metals led losses.
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and Pitney Bowes Inc. jumped more than 9% to lead the S&P 500 to an earlier gain of as much as 0.5% after earnings beat estimates. Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens said inflation data leave room for rate cuts as central banks in the U.S., Europe and the U.K. meet this week. American consumer confidence weakened in July while a gauge of U.S. home prices rose the most in more than seven years, economic reports showed today.
"We're waiting again to hear what the Fed has to say because everybody's on tenterhooks," Sarah Hunt, an associate fund manager and analyst who helps oversee $4.5 billion at Purchase, New York-based Alpine Woods Capital Investors LLC, said in a phone interview.
Fed Meeting
The Federal Open Market Committee, which has said it may start paring stimulus should the U.S. economy meet the central bank's forecasts, starts a two-day meeting today. The Fed will probably maintain its benchmark interest rate at 0.25%, economists predict. Policy makers will begin to reduce the central bank's bond-purchase program in September, a Bloomberg survey of economists shows. A government report tomorrow is forecast by economists to show that growth in U.S. gross domestic product slowed to 1% in the second quarter from 1.8% in the first three months of the year.
The S&P 500 has advanced this month as companies from Apple Inc. to Visa Inc. reported better-than-estimated earnings. Of the 302 companies in the S&P 500 that posted quarterly results so far in the reporting season, 73% have exceeded analysts' estimates for profit and 55% have topped sales projections, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Eastman Chemical Co. gained 7.5% after raising its full-year profit forecast. Pfizer Inc. reported second-quarter profit that beat analysts' estimates, sending the shares up 0.6%.

Warth - Schroecken: SkiArlberg with Walser Charm
The legendary Arlberg with 87 facilities, 304 km of ski runs and a large freeride area is one of the world's best resorts. Warth-Schröcken scores as one of the most snow safe ski resort in Europe. Per year, 11 meters of natural snow can be aspected. The north and east slopes guarantee the best quality snow and slope until springtime and happy moments for families, skiers and freeriders.
In the cozy Walser villages Warth and Schröcken are numerous family hotels and B & Bs directly at the ski resort. The "Auenfeldjet" connects Warth-Schröcken with Lech, from there the ski enjoyment continues to Stuben, St. Christopher and St. Anton.
Fun in the snow for families
With comfortable gondolas and generous slopes for all abilities snow hungry families get their bill in Warth-Schröcken. The snow sport schools care professional about the next generation. A playful introduction to the sport of skiing enable "Paulis Kinderland" in Warth and "Paulis ski area in Schröcken". From 2014/15, the popular, sunny "Warther family run" is an informative and entertaining journey through the world of the Piste rules.
Highlights on the slopes
Alternative to classic skiing Warth-Schröcken offers the Funslope in Warth-Schröcken the Skimovie route for personal video, the speed check, the parallel giant slalom, the Photo-point and the Avalanche Training Center. In the cozy huts and restaurants regional specialties can be enjoyed..
Nature experiences for freeriders
Due to the huge snowfalls Warth-Schröcken can be called a true freeride hotspot. Back in in 1894 Pastor Johann Müller was one of the first freeriders on his imported wood skis from Sweden. Today piste skiers follow his footsteps on the guided "Pastor Mueller-Tour" from Lech via the "Klemm" to Schröcken. At the Arlberg freeride enthusiasts expect over 200 km of off-piste runs.
Skiing down to the front door
In the charming Walser village Warth and Schröcken are numerous family hotels and B & Bs directly at the ski resort. The most famous is hosted by the Warther Olympic champion Hubert Strolz. New in winter season 2014/15: The 4 km long village run leads from the mountain station "Skischaukel Falken" immediately to Nesslegg and to the center of Schröcken.
So let yourself be carried away.
