The Lipscomb Lady Bisons softball team will be out to get on the winning track in the Atlantic Sun this weekend when it travels to Campbell Thursday and Gardner-Webb Saturday.
The Lady Bisons are coming off 4-0 and 4-1 A-Sun losses at Stetson in DeLand, Fla., Sunday afternoon. Campbell and Gardner-Webb are the second and third of five consecutive A-Sun doubleheaders on the road for the Lady Bisons.
"Conference-wise we have a tough schedule," said Lipscomb coach Kristin Peck. "We have three of the longest road trips we could have on back-to-back-to-back weekends."
The final two doubleheaders in the string are April 7 in Jacksonville and April 9 at North Florida.
"It will be nice to finally get back home after all of those," said Peck. "We've got some big games to start off with.
"You want to win as many as you can on the road. You depend on the ones at home to insure your conference standings."
The Lady Bisons swept Stetson last season in Nashville, but that luck didn't continue on the road.
In game one the Lady Bisons were held to only three hits with Leigh Little, Heather Collins and Sara Meek accounting for the offensive output.
Meek also pitched the game allowing six hits and four runs, one earned, in six innings. She walked one and struck out seven.
In game two Stetson jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning.
The Lady Bisons answered with one run in the fourth inning when Julia Davidson homered to left center with one out.
Stetson scored one run in the fifth to seal the win.
Also getting hits for the Lady Bisons were Alysha Forsythe, Collins and Kate Richards.
Kim Jacobson pitched for the Lady Bisons allowing nine hits and four runs, two earned, in six innings. Jacobson did not walk a batter and did not strike out a Stetson hitter.
The Lady Bisons are 9-19, 0-2 in the conference.

It seems that sometimes we spend too much time on expectations. For example, you probably spent a lot of time, and money, getting ready for and looking forward to the holidays, only to have them arrive, and find that somehow they weren�t as splendid as you had anticipated.
It seems that sometimes we spend too much time on expectations. For example, you probably spent a lot of time, and money, getting ready for and looking forward to the holidays, only to have them arrive, and find that somehow they weren�t as splendid as you had anticipated.
Now we are into the New Year and we�ve been celebrating with friends, being with family, perhaps doing some traveling. All these things can indeed be very enjoyable, but we need to be aware that there may be somewhat of a �letdown� once the day arrives.
It�s kind of like the �When and Then� mindset: When I get that new car, Then I am going to be somebody; When I take that exciting trip this year, Then I am going to have fun; When I get that promotion at work, Then I am going to be so important; When I have sent my last child through college or university system, Then I am going to relax; When I retire, Then I am going to get in my rocking chair, rock back and forth, and watch the rest of the world go by.
And then one day, oftentimes too late, that person realizes that there is no real joy in the Then, and that the real joy in life is in the journey, one day at a time.
Actually, there is no such thing as tomorrow. If the so-called �tomorrow� does get here for us � which it may, or it may not � it will be �today� when it does. So let�s resolve to make the most of today by living by certain principles almost assured to help us get the most out of �now.�
One of those principles is, �Don�t Criticize, Condemn or Complain.� Recently I received a telephone call from a telemarketer just as Emma and I were getting ready for dinner. My first impulse was to abruptly end any conversation with this young lady. But then I imagined that, just suppose this were our beautiful daughter, Jessica, on the phone a few years ago trying to get started in the business world. How would I want her to be treated by that person whom she was calling?
With that in mind, I proceeded to respond to this young lady with words of kindness, encouragement and praise and I am confident that, as a result of that response, her life was made a little brighter and her task a little easier.
Another principle is �Be a Good Listener, Encourage others to talk about themselves.� Dale Carnegie always enjoyed, when his schedule would permit, to visit with various groups in different parts of the country. He always insisted on talking with the host a few days before the event to get some information on some of the guests.
On one particular occasion, as the hostess was going over the names of some of the attendees, she mentioned one particular lady who had just gotten back from a trip to India, and although she was in her advanced years, this was the first really long-distance trip she had ever taken, and she was so excited about it.
When the day of the visit came, Dale Carnegie stood in line greeting the guests. This lady approached him, gave him her name, and said, �Oh, Mr. Carnegie, I know you have traveled all over the world, and I love traveling, so would you please during the evening tell us about some of your travels.� Mr. Carnegie said that he certainly would, but then he added, �I understand that you have just gotten back from a trip to India, and I would love to hear about that.�
He said that during the evening, whenever she could get his attention, she would tell him more about her trip to India. He said he never got around to telling her about any of his travels, but he heard her remark to the hostess as she was leaving, �That Mr. Carnegie is the best conversationalist in the world!�
One of the very best was to communicate effectively is to listen.
Reece Gardner is the host of �The Reece Gardner Hour,� which airs on TACC-9 on Mondays at 9 p.m., Tuesdays at 8 p.m., Thursdays at 11 p.m., Sundays at 10:30 p.m.and on-demand anytime at TACC9.com. You can reach Reece at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Noland Bath & Idea Center has remodeled
Noland Bath & Idea Center has remodeled its showroom to display the new products the store is now carrying.
Rose Foyles, showroom consultant, has been assisting Noland customers for 28 years. She started out at the former location on Herritage Street; a year later, the company moved to its current location with its 2,000-square-foot showroom.
�We have recently had new granite countertops installed with nine new Elkay kitchen sinks,� she said. �We are an authorized Elkay Diamond Design Showroom.�
The showroom is brimming with sleek stainless steel, oil-rubbed bronze and other sleek surfaces.
Looking for an interesting conversation starter? How about having a martini-shaped sink installed?
Single and double sinks more than 30 inches wide can be installed over, under or flat against the counter. Even the drains can be installed under the sink.
�It�s just a neater appearance,� Foyles said about what�s called The Perfect Drain.
Magnetic soap, sponge and utensil holders, as well as hooks, adhere to the inside walls of the stainless steel sinks and are moveable.
There are also a variety of bar or vegetable prep sinks, including shimmering hammered stainless steel and granite composite sinks. The latter comes in white, bisque, black or mocha.
Every sink needs a faucet and the showroom features a variety of brands, including some with pull-down sprayers for easy cleaning and motion sensors.
�You just wave at it and it turns on,� Foyles said.
The store is a Moen Showroom of Distinction, and carries the new Voss collection faucet � with a sleek, regal look.
�We�ve probably got over 10 different available lines of faucets,� Foyles said.
Noland carries luxury whirlpool tubs, such as the one with air jets in the bottom and radiant heat from the side.
�Now the showers with the body sprays are starting to be popular,� Foyles said. One of them includes a stereo system, she added.
The store features vintage-style pieces, such as pedestal sinks and Victorian claw-foot tubs. It also carries fine polished wood cabinet vanities with matching mirrors.
Noland has two new commodes in stock now and both are water savers. One has a 1.6-gallon flush and the other has a 1.28-gallon flush, compared with 3.5-gallon, or even 5-gallon, flushes in older models.
Foyles said most people are aware of the large wholesale supply room, but may not know the showroom is open to the public. The store discounts the suggested retail prices, she said.
Noland is owned by Win Wholesale, based in Ohio, and David Allen is manager at the Kinston store. About 75 percent of the sales are special orders by catalog, Foyles said.
Noland Bath & Idea Center, 1000 Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd., is open from 8:30 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For information, call 252-523-6171.

A scholarship with teeth
Madison Forever gives senior Zachary Daniels a chance to realize his dream
By Martha Graham
So when Zachary enrolled at JMU, the biological anthropology major dreamed of becoming an oral surgeon. Biological anthropology is JMU's only anthropology major leading to a Bachelor of Science degree; all others are Bachelor of Arts.Zachary Daniels loves teeth. "The only thing that is for sure through evolution is that our brains get bigger, and our teeth are changing," says the senior from Charlottesville.
"It's biologically based. You have to know genes, phenotypes, bones. I've spent days studying bone fossils, taking morphologies on skeletons. It's not just studying of man and culture and how we got here. It's how our bodies work. Why some people are more prone to disease."
He credits Carole Nash, assistant professor of anthropology and director of the Shenandoah National Park Environmental Archaeology Program, with sparking his interest in the field.
"We did field work. We went to Landes cemetery down (Interstate) 81, and we surveyed the whole thing. They wanted to know how many people were in the cemetery because it was so old, and it was such an odd location for one. We did ground penetrating radar. I got into all the gadgets and the methods and practices. Really enjoyed it."
Zach's coursework was the perfect foundation for his dream. But when the economy tanked in 2008-09, his plan was jeopardized.
"I've always been pretty lucky," Zach says. "Growing up, I benefitted from my parents doing well. Right after my first year of college, everything was starting to go wrong. The economy. Job changes.... Homeowners to not homeowners anymore."
Josh pitched in. "I was working in Charlottesville....I started working on the router table - it's a sign company - so I cut out signs, 3-D carvings, everything," he says.
"It really hit home. I've always said, 'I'll work myself. I'll get it done' ... but it wasn't going to be a possibility anymore. We needed help. There were no other options."
When Zach's brother enrolled at JMU, the situation became critical. Zach worked nights. "My grades were good, but the emotional toll it took, working a night job and then going to class and having homework and readings and tests in between, it was hard."
"My parents weren't sure how they were going to pay for our tuition my senior year. After all this, I wasn't going to be able to finish. It was a very stressful summer, trying to work out what we were going to do."
Seeking help wasn't easy—but necessary. Zach applied for and received a Madison Forever scholarship.
Madison Forever made the difference.
The scholarship "made it possible for us to not lose the opportunity to have my son graduate from JMU," Liz Daniels says. "I am truly humbled by the generosity of those individuals who have made this possible."
Madison Forever also has provided even more incentive for Zachary to succeed. "To have that sort of funding, I know I can't let anybody down. I've gotta continue doing well.....That is what I love about JMU. It's always been like that. If you have a problem, just go talk to someone, and they can work it out with you."
With graduation less than a year away, Zachary can again dream about teeth.
"I am so thankful to whoever donated the money so I can finish my education," he says. "Now I can set up that interview with the dental school."

Jeff Forehand
Head Coach
|(615) 966-5716
|(615) 966-1806
|Follow CoachForehand
With over 300 collegiate wins under his belt, Jeff Forehand was named the 15th coach in the history of the storied Lipscomb program in 2007.
Under his direction, the Bisons reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history in 2008 behind an Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament Championship. A major underdog, Lipscomb traveled to Athens, Ga., taking out host Georgia in the opening round before falling to Georgia Tech in round two. That setup a rematch with the Bulldogs and Georgia prevailed in round two ending the Bisons first NCAA Regional.
Forehand's 2009 club came within one win of back-to-back trips to the NCAA tournament falling in the A-Sun championship game. That season would see another milestone for Forehand's program as pitcher Rex Brothers would become the second Lipscomb player drafted in the top round of the Major League Baseball draft. Taken as the 34th overall pick in the draft by the Colorado Rockies, the hard-throwing lefty made a quick rise to the majors making his MLB debut June 6th, 2011 with a 96 mph fastball against the San Diego Padres.
Having players drafted is nothing new for Forehand however, as a number of his student-athletes have received the call on draft day. Casey Bond, who plays in the Hollywood feature film Moneyball and John King got the trend started in Forehand's first season in 2007 as both were selected by the San Francisco Giants. A right-handed pitcher, King was a 17th-round selection, while Bond got the call in the 25th round. Also among the Lipscomb standouts who have been drafted under Forehand are catcher Caleb Joesph, who was drafted in the seventh round by the Baltimore Orioles in 2008, and righty hurler Josh Smith, who was chosen by the Cincinnati Reds in the 21st round in 2010.
With Forehand's leadership, the Bisons have had seven selections on the A-Sun All-Conference team and over 80 honorees on the league's All-Academic Team. The Bisons have also placed eight players on the A-Sun All-Freshmen team including Brothers, who was A-Sun Freshman of the Year in 2007.
Prior to taking over the Lipscomb program in 07, Forehand had a highly successful stint across town at Trevecca Nazarene where he led the Trojans to a 211-142-1 in six seasons. At Trevecca, Forehand earned 2004 NAIA Region XI Coach of the year and was twice named TransSouth Conference Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2005. The Trojans also excelled in the classroom as the team grade point average increased a half a point in his tenure.
While at Trevecca, Forehand saw three players have their names called on draft day as Mario Campos (Red Sox, 2001), B.J. Jenkins (San Diego Padres,2004) and Brad Coon (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 2005) each were selected.
Before taking over the Trojan's program, Forehand got his head-coaching start at Nashville's Goodpasture Christian School where in seven seasons he won three state titles (1995, 1997, 1999). He is also a three-time Tennessee State Coach of the Year honoree winning the award each of those three years. Prior to taking over the Goodpasture program, Forehand served as an assistant coach from 1990-92 under his father, Fred, at Montgomery Bell Academy.
A native of the "Music City", the former second baseman played college ball at nearby Belmont under coach Dave Whitten graduating in 1989. Forehand also holds a Masters of Education degree from Tennessee State.
A lifelong resident of the city of Nashville, Forehand and his wife, Karen, have two sons, Gant and Brooks.

I agree with obelix that you need not say that ,"This is a presentation about..." but you can if you want to. It's a bit lame though. I guess you will be standing in front of a group of people, such as a class or business group? If you were talking to people about life insurance you could start off by saying, "Life insurance is a complete waste of money." If that's what you thought. This might shock them into paying attention but you then have to go on and prove your thesis, or turn it around to show that people who think like that about life insurance are wrong. A presentation is really a spoken essay, so you approach it like that. If you have visual aids, such as pictures, graphs, etc., it helps, too.

Chili cook-off raises more than $16,000
A large host of auction items - 49 crock pots of chili - generous bidders - dedicated sponsors. All of these elements came together Saturday night at Sylvester's Bar, and when the night was over, $16, 534.34 was raised for two community organizations. This was the seventh year for the fundraising event, which organizers Jeannie Connely Skolil and Sylvester's owner Fred Schumacher say started as just a random idea. Each year the public is invited to enter their favorite chili recipe to be judged by a panel of community volunteers. This year, 49 pots of chili were entered in the contest, with Chris Votaw crowned champion. Second place went to Don Olson, while Sheila Applegarth took third. Each year, Sly's staff chooses a charitable organization to donate the proceeds of the event to. This year they chose two recipients - the Broken Bow Library Book Giveaway, and Healing Hearts & Families. The more than $16,500 raised at the event will be split equally between the two entities. Raffle tickets were sold for two large items; a riding lawn mower and a $500 gas card. Winner of the riding lawn mower was Russ Arnold, and Cheryl Beckenhauer won the gas card, which was donated to the event by Stan Dougherty - who won the card in a recent KCNI/KBBN promotion. Throughout its seven years, the fundraising event has grown by leaps and bounds. The first year had 20 chilies entered in the competition, and the event raised $6,000. The 49 chilies entered this year exceeds last year's number by 10. Last year's event raised just over $10,000 - so you can see how much it grows each year! Fred and Jeannie say it has always been the goal of the fundraiser to keep the money local, and to focus on kids and people in need. The two charities chosen this year meet both of those criteria. Fred has been the owner/operator of Sylvester's since November 1989. He says he is grateful for the opportunity to be able to give back to the community that has supported his business for so many years. Jeannie also wanted to thank all of those who donate items for the auction. She says it truly is a community effort to make this fundraiser such a success each year. Folks come early to sample the chili, and stay late to bid on items. You can always count on a packed house at the chili cook-off and auction, and you can always count on having lots of fun while benefitting someone else.

David Hartwig Has Been Super Helpful
Fund: SAP Ventures
Posted by papajaws on 2013-02-13
I pitched David Hartwig recently on an early funding. We're a bit too early for him, but he was great to talk to, gave helpful feedback and has been incredibly helpful in connecting me to other interested parties. I was very surprised, but he introduced me to 4 other VC's...one of which might lead the deal. I will definitely come back to David when we're ready to raise the next round.PRIVATE: Members Only

Laura Prosperetti
Rome, Italy
Class Year:
Prior Education:
University of Roma Tre, J.D., 2002
University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Ph.D., 2007
What I Did Before Law School:
I did the a year trainee-ship as a lawyer, working for a small Italian law firm in Rome, specializing in civil and labor law. I took the Italian bar exam last year.
I worked as a research assistant of commercial law at the University of Roma Tre. I have been writing my Ph.D. thesis in corporate law at the University of Rome Tor Vergata and I have spent several months in Germany to research for my dissertation.
Why I Chose Penn Law:
I chose Penn Law for many reasons among which are the high reputation of its faculty and of the other schools at UPenn and its location in Philadelphia. Once I came here I discovered that the reasons to choose UPenn were many more!
My Best Experience at Penn Law:
I enjoyed the many social fun events, most recently the Equal Justice Foundation (EJF) auction.
Professor Who Influenced Me Most:
Professor Edward Rock, because the way he leads us throughout the analysis of cases showed me how common law works. I also understood how important it is to have at least a little knowledge of corporate finance and a sense of what's happening in the business world.
My Favorite Course:
Securities Regulation, because Professor Tyson teaches it in a way that it is at the same time entertaining and very effective.
My Favorite Philadelphia Moment:
Among the many amazing moments, I particularly enjoyed dancing salsa with my LLM friends, throwing parties at our place and going to ski at the Poconos!
What I'm Most Proud Of:
I am proud to have been admitted as an LLM in the same class with so many interesting, clever and nice people.
My Extracurricular Activities at Penn Law:
I attended many interesting conferences, lectures, brown bag lunches, and discussions.
I serve as an LLM advisor for the Journal of International Law.
My Favorite Place or Activity on the University Campus:
I like very much the Biddle Law Library and the Franklin Library, Houston Hall, the Pottruck Fitness center and the other sports facilities.
Is the LL.M. very demanding?
Yes, getting very good grades requires a lot of work, but the good thing is that courses are designed to let you learn during the whole semester, so that you don't end up having to study like crazy just before the exams.

2015 F-150 Raptor Rendered
Marcus Slater
F-150 Online
We have yet to grow tired of the SVT Raptor's wide and rugged design. It's hard to believe the extreme off-roader has been on the market since 2010. Now that the Ford F-150 is due for a redesign, we're getting renderings of how the 13th generation of Ford's best-selling trucks will look.
Top Speed has taken a stab at envisioning the next Raptor. Judging from their always-high-quality renderings, it looks like they're right on the mark with their predictions. The well-received Ford Atlas Concept was likely a sneak peek of how the next F-150 will look, so Top Speed has used many of that show truck's design cues for inspiration. We're excited to see how accurate these images match the final product.
In our gallery, you can get a more detailed preview of the F-150's future. We've also included Top Speed's rendering of a standard F-150 Crew cab, so you can compare the differences between configurations.

The world's most popular performance benchmark has finally come to Android. Today Futuremark released 3DMark to the Google Play store, and the latest test allows you to compare results across different operating systems. The new 3DMark is currently available for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Android (version 3.1 and up). Soon it will be rleeased for iOS and Windows RT. We have a bunch of Android devices laying around, so we decided to see how they stack up.
The Devices
- Nexus 4: Android 4.2.2, Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, Adreno 320 GPU, 2 GB RAM
- Nexus 7: Android 4.2.2, Tegra 3 CPU, GeForce GPU, 1 GB RAM
- Nexus 10: Android 4.2.2, Exynos 5 Dual CPU, Mali-T604 GPU, 2 GB RAM
- HTC One: Android 4.1.2, Snapdragon 600 CPU, Adreno 320 GPU, 2 GB RAM
Futuremark claims that 3DMark is compatible with more than 1,000 different Android devices, but we decided to focus on the Nexus devices and the new HTC One. We attempted to run the benchmark on some older devices like the Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X, but we could not get all the tests to complete.
All devices were running unmodified software. Each device was fully charged and then rebooted before each test. We closed all background apps to ensure nothing would interfere with the results. Finally, all devices were benchmarked in the freezer to eliminate any thermal throttling (do not attempt this at home).
The Results
3DMark provides two different tests for Android devices. Ice Storm includes two graphics tests designed to stress the GPU (run at 720p resolution), and a physics test to stress CPU performance. Ice Storm Extreme bumps up the graphics tests to 1080p resolution and uses higher quality textures and post-processing effects.
Drive-by Conclusions
Qualcomm has historically been weak in the mobile GPU department, but their new Adreno 320 is the fastest GPU shipping in any Android devices right now. That could change in a couple months with NVIDIA's new Tegra 4 and its 72-core GPU, but Qualcomm holds the performance crown for the moment.
I also found the results of the HTC One and LG Nexus 4 interesting. Both devices feature a similar Qualcomm chip with the same Adreno 320 GPU, but the HTC One has the slightly newer Krait 300 CPU core. 3DMark is primarily a graphics test, but it also factors in CPU performance into the overall score. Neither device was running the same version of Android, so it's hard to do a direct comparison of the results.
The real takeaway here is that the Nexus 4, sold for $299, can deliver similar performance to the HTC One, which will retail for $600-650 off contract.
The Nexus 10 features the brand new Exynos 5 Dual with ARM's latest Cortex-A15 CPU core, but the ARM Mali-T604 GPU falls behind the competition. This could explain why Samsung dumped the ARM GPU architecture in their new Exynos 5 Octa and went with a PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU instead. We can't wait to get our hands on the new Samsung Galaxy S 4 with Exynos 5 Octa to see how it compares.
Finally we can see that the Tegra 3 inside the Nexus 7 is starting to show its age. NVIDIA's Tegra 3 chip is over two years old and the Nexus 7 sells for $199, so we don't exactly expect it to compete with the latest and greatest chips that are coming out this year. NVIDIA should be able to gain the lead with their new Tegra 4, but we will have to wait a couple more months to see the first devices, like Project Shield, start shipping.
Overall, I like what I am seeing from the first release of 3DMark. It is nice to finally have a test that will allow us to compare results across multiple operating systems. The benchmark is well designed, and it lets you know if your device results are normal, below, or above the average of other users. We also appreciate the Device Channel browser that lets you compare your results with other mobile devices.

Pluto Marbled Silk Ribbon
Three yards of 2" wide hand marbled silk ribbon, patterned with spots of white shot through with charcoal gray - both dramatic and delicate. For favors, gifts, garlands, or anything you please! Each wooden spool of ribbon is a unique monoprint made by hand in New York. It is permanent, washable, and reusable.
- 2" wide
- 3 yards long
- silk habotai, raw edge
Marbling is the ancient technique of making prints on paper or fabric using floating pigments. The pigments, water-based acrylic in this case, are dropped onto the surface of water thickened with carrageenan moss. The colors are manipulated into patterns, and prepared fabric is draped across the water's surface. It picks up the pigments in their lively patterns, looking as if they are still dancing on water.

It catered mainly to Dutch students. I've heard that after a pretty good start, it also has started going downhill. Another place where they manipulate teachers and don't respect them. Instead of being straight with teachers about their contracts, they play games. Not good for either the school or the teachers. Parents want continuity (now that I'm a dad myself, I will be paying a lot attention to private schools) and reliable teachers. Admins who play games with teachers and tell them maybe you'll get renewed, maybe you won't - don't count on a job next year - are clearly not the right kind of people who should be running a school. Compass has a good international rep but if the things I heard last night about it continue, it will be another deadly deal for teachers.

On "Saturday Night Live" last month, Bruno Mars followed his performance of "Locked Out of Heaven" -- the delightfully Police-ish lead track from next month's "Unorthodox Jukebox" -- with a slow-and-low piano-ballad take on the album's second single, "Young Girls." It was pretty but a bit slight, not unlike the singer's 2010 smash, "Just the Way You Are" (which nonetheless topped the Hot 100 and sold over 5 million copies in the United States alone).
Posted on YouTube on Tuesday, the studio version of "Young Girls" remedies that flavor deficiency with pounding drums, fuzzy synth textures and a soaring vocal performance full of the passion Mars has sometimes sacrificed in the name of polish. If this former child actor has always struck you as something of a show-business android, this moody midtempo jam might be the song to change your mind.
"All you young, wild girls / You make a mess of me," Mars sings in the chorus, after admitting to spending all his cash on a "big old fancy car for these bright-eyed honeys." Later he insists he still dreams of "a simple life / Boy meets girl, makes her his wife," then reveals the sad truth about the pop star's solitary existence: "But love don't exist when you live like this, that much I know."
Mo money, mo problems, as a wise man once said. Listen to "Young Girls" below.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Smackdown (cont.)
Bucky will dash off in his vehicle, so follow suit (just stay in your cop car, as it's plenty fast for this unusual chase). Instead of bringing you along the many wide open streets of Alderney, Bucky will take a nervous route through backyards, over dirt roads, up and down drive ways, and through various fences and other obstacles. This makes the chase unusual, as earlier mentioned, but it also makes it nice and slow and easy to follow, even if you crash a few times. Don't fret this chase at all -- it's a hard one to lose.
The chase will conclude at what appears to be an abandoned house at the northwest end of Alderney, on Beaverhead Avenue. However, this house isn't very abandoned as will soon become evident when Bucky and his friends open fire on you. Bail out of your car and begin taking out the sentries outside of the building. When they're eliminated, you can then bust through the front door and begin taking out the enemies inside the wide-open first floor. There's little cover to work with, so either rush inside and find some, or better yet, prime your entrance with a well-cooked grenade. That'll send 'em flying! Once all is quiet on the first floor, run up and kill Bucky, and then run out of the house. For the mission to end successfully, you have to lose the two star wanted level you earned with all of the shooting. Your best bet for such an endeavor is the muscle car sitting in the driveway. Once you lose the cops, you'll call Derrick and end a successful mission.

There's a Society for One-Place Studies now! While I'm disappointed that the free listing of one-place studies appears to be gone, at the same time I'm quite excited about the creation of this society, and have already joined and registered my one-place study.
For only £10 (currently about $16.37 Canadian) a year, plus a one-time registration fee of £10 for each study registered, you get access to the forum, a regular e-newsletter, an email alias (mine's email@example.com), and a page for your one-place study in the listing.
If you have a one-place study, you should consider joining. And if you don't have a one place study, you should consider starting one! They're a great way to add local context to your genealogy.

Resident Evil Creator Joins... Bethesda!
Whoa! Shinji Mikami's fledgling Tango Gameworks has been snapped up by none other than Zenimax Media. After leaving Platinum Games (who are currently renegotiating another deal with SEGA after their successful Vanquish partnership) to form Tango, Mikami has opted to throw his lot in with Bethesda in order to benefit from the refreshing new market potential, expertise and possibly even id Tech 5.
It's refreshing to find a publisher who understands, trusts, and supports the development of blockbuster games and works to make it a collaborative effort. The library of AAA franchise titles ZeniMax owns speaks for itself. We are very excited to be joining ZeniMax and working with a company that is dedicated to creating the best games ever made. - Shinji Mikami
Mikami will retain creative control over the studio whilst developing titles for Bethesda- and we'll be watching this new collaboration like a hawk considering that he's the director behind Resident Evil, Devil May Cry and God Hand. We'll also be keeping an eye on Zenimax- who now preside over a staggeringly impressive stable of established developers. With great power comes great responsibility, Zenimax.
Universal Monsters Team Up For Van Helsing MMO
The Universal Monsters brand is responsible for creating the "classic" versions of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, the Invisible Man, the Mummy and the Creature From the Black Lagoon... and a new partnership with SEE Virtual Worlds will be adapting their little catalogue of horrors into an MMO.
This planned title will cast players as Van Helsing-style monster hunters who are hot on the trail of Universal's stellar monster roster. Details are still thin on the ground, but it's reportedly due late next year. Hopefully it will also contain the thriller zombie from SEE's upcoming Michael Jackson MMO! [Hollywood Reporter]
Sony Deploys Playstation Rewards Scheme Beta
We're big fans of rewarding loyalty here at Dealspwn, so we're delighted that Sony are rolling out another way for fans to earn some extra benefits. The Playstation Rewards Scheme will be absolutely free to join (contrasting sharply with the Playstation Plus premium service), and has now entered a closed beta that's been offered to certain Plus and Gamer Advisory Panel subscribers.
Here's the deal. Members will be able to accrue points by downloading PSN games, content and films (i.e. just keep doing what you're doing), which will eventually make them legible for entry into the Select, Pro and Legendary 'reward tiers.' Depending on your tier level, you'll then be able to claim rewards such as themes, Playstation Home content and even prize giveaways. Sony will be offering an all-expenses-paid trip to next year's CES as the first major prize experience.
It's a neat idea, and we're looking forward to seeing how it pans out.
UPDATE: This service has only been confirmed for the US so far- so European users will need to watch this space. [Playstation Blog]
F.E.A.R 3 Dated For March 2011
Warner Bros. have confirmed that their delayed sequel to Monolith's F.E.A.R. franchise will be hitting US shelves on the 22nd of March 2011- and we assume that it will reach British shores soon afterwards. No explanation has been given for it slipping from the original holiday season release date. [IGN]

Prairie Dress
Added Nov 22, 2012
by kihli
Zurich, Switzerland
I made this dress after I saw a similar one in a store, which didn't fit me. Unfortunately, with this fabric, it evoked some rather unwanted associations with "The Little House on the Prairie". Despite that, it's a very comfortable and warm dress which I like to wear.
The pattern is no. 109 from burdastyle 1/2010, with modifications. Construction was quite straight forward and not difficult at all, until I made a big mistake by cutting into a seamline where the right sleeve would have to be set in.
You can read more about that on my blog: Marie in the cave

Ken Santowski loves to hate Styrofoam, but recycling the polystyrene foam has become his business.
While not many municipalities will take polystyrene foam, the company Santowski started 17 years ago, Chicago Logistic Service of Elgin, has increased its capacity by about 20 fold over the past five years.
Santowski also established drop-off locations in Lakewood, where he lives and is a village trustee, and did the same in Algonquin.
"The biggest problem is Styrofoam is very lightweight, and when you do crush it, it becomes airborne," Santowski said. "It's like snow."
It also takes up a lot of space despite being mostly air and still costs more to recycle than the by-product is worth, he said.
Recycling polystyrene foam has also become a priority of the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, which teamed up with Santowski's business to purchase a polystyrene foam densifier late last year, said Ed Ellinghausen, who sits on the Defenders' Board of Directors.
The densifier chops the polystyrene foam up, takes out the air and re-compacts it, said Santowski, who is also a member of the Defenders.
It gets the foam down to about 10 percent of its original volume, Ellinghausen said.
The investment in polystyrene foam recycling comes as more municipalities and businesses are providing avenues for residents to recycle electronics, the last push the Defenders made in recycling, he said.
"In a way, it's a little reminiscent," he said. "Back 20 years ago, we were the only place where you could recycle cans and bottles, and we were campaigning to have curbside recycling so everyone can recycle. ... We put ourselves out of business, but that was a good thing."
Tuesday is Earth Day, and polystyrene recycling is just one of the evolvements in recycling over recent decades.
A state law that took effect Jan. 1, 2010, bans electronics from landfills, a measure advocated for because of the toxic heavy metals contained in electronics.
Since then, a lot more businesses are accepting home electronics – the law also prevents businesses from charging private individuals a fee to recycle home electronics – and so are more municipalities.
The Computer Recycling Center in Crystal Lake has been in the business for about 11 years, said co-owner John Niziolek II, whose primary business is Echelon Computers.
Niziolek found his way into the recycling business somewhat by accident.
Echelon Computers buys leased equipment, but not all the purchased equipment could be resold, he said. The pile started to grow, and they started looking for a way to recycle the computers.
"Reuse is the best use, so whenever possible that's the way to go," Niziolek said. "As for the products that are obsolete or non-functional to the point of non-repair, we take parts. ... The end of life commodities are not very profitable at all."
Ellinghausen was surprised by some of the electronics that people recycle through the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County's monthly drives in Woodstock and McHenry.
They get 32-inch flatscreen TVs, small flatscreen computer monitors and VCR players, he said. Anything that is functional gets separated and resold at their store in Woodstock.
"We haven't set the world on fire in terms of income that we generate from it, but it's consistent with our goal of reuse," Ellinghausen said.

Tara, there are tons of places you can yell at people wearing Crocs.... or plastic shoes or Republicans. I'll hook you up.
But I do like cute baby pics....

Libby, you know that I adore you, but Tara hates Crocs the same as I and I can't shun that. I can't. There's enough room in my blog heart for both of you. If you throw the Crocs away, I'll consider shunning her.

No, no! There's room for two! Seriously, there's only ONE of you and no one can replace you, but...make some room, make some room! Tara needs to get in to the blogosphere.

Florida citrus growers are watching, preparing and hoping that "la Nada," Spanish for "the nothing," won't leave nada fruit on their trees in its wake.
Florida citrus growers are watching, preparing and hoping that "la Nada," Spanish for "the nothing," won't leave nada fruit on their trees in its wake.
The recent cold snap affecting most of the U.S. doesn't give cause for optimism, according to Cliff Harris, a partner in Harris-Mann Climatology of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, a private consulting firm that tracks the possibilities for Florida citrus freezes.
"There's no way to tell for sure, but the first piece of the puzzle is in place. The bigger piece is coming next month," Harris told The Ledger on Thursday.
Harris discussed his company's Dec. 19 forecast indicating a stronger chance of sub-freezing temperatures hitting Central and South Florida in the middle of January.
It got the attention of the state's citrus growers. Florida Citrus Mutual in Lakeland, the state's largest growers' representative, sent news of the forecast in its daily briefing to membership, said Mark Wheeler, a Lake Placid-based grower and Citrus Mutual president.
"With the high (premature) fruit drop already, there's a heightened concern about a freeze, especially with citrus greening or any other disease or stress on the tree," Wheeler said. "I think everybody wonders what the impact of a freeze would be."
Harris-Mann based its forecast on a climate pattern popularly known as el Ni�o (the Christ child), which affects global weather. An el Ni�o period sees above-average ocean temperatures and pressure in the equatorial South Pacific Ocean, while the opposite occurs during a la Ni�a period.
Historically the chances for a Florida citrus freeze increase during a neutral period, nicknamed la Nada, Harris said. We're in a neutral period now.
A la Nada freeze in Florida occurs when a high pressure ridge stationed over the northwestern U.S. acts like a roller coaster, sending westward winds up into Alaska and the Arctic region, picking up cold weather and sending it plunging southward, Harris said. He compared the effect to a skier picking up speed on a ski jump — the greater the speed one picks up, the farther the skier goes after leaving the jump.
The high pressure ridges usually occur two or more times during a la Nada period, he said. The first one came right on schedule this month, sending cold weather into the south-central U.S., including North Florida. It gave Little Rock, Ark., its first white Christmas since 1926.
But the second high pressure ridge, if it develops, tends to send cold weather even farther south — as much as 400 miles, Harris said. The only question is whether the next roller coaster points to Florida or farther west.
Harris put the odds of a citrus freeze reaching deeper into South Florida, including Polk County, at 40 percent. A citrus freeze occurs when temperatures reach 28 degrees or lower for at least four hours.
Florida has seen many minor freezes in the past two decades, but the last major freeze occurred on Christmas 1989 following other major freezes around Christmas 1983 and January 1985.
Some Wheeler Farms groves in Polk lost 80 percent of their trees during the 1989 freeze, Wheeler said.
Another variable hard to predict is whether temperatures will fall to 28 or lower for the required four hours, Harris said. Central Florida saw freezing weather for the first 14 days in January 2010, devastating tropical fish and tomato growers, but it mostly hovered above citrus freeze conditions.
Citrus growers may not be so lucky next month because temperatures in the far Northern Hemisphere have set record lows this winter, he said.
But even a mild freeze could cause major damage because of citrus greening, a fatal bacterial disease that weakens the tree. Scientists estimate the disease has infected more than half the state's citrus trees.
Florida growers are seeing record rates of premature fruit drop in the 2012-13 crop, which they attribute to the effects of greening.
Marty McKenna, a Lake Wales-based grower and chairman of the Florida Citrus Commission based in Bartow, said he doesn't sense any heightened concern among growers about a stronger chance of a freeze this season.
"If you make a statement there could be colder-than-normal temperatures in the middle of January, you'd be right most years," he said.
But McKenna did not play down the growers' concerns about the impact of a citrus on their already greening-stressed trees.
"With the introduction of greening, we've seen things we've never seen before," he said. "Who can say what will happen with this much greening? A freeze normally picks on weaker trees."

Back to this thread, I can imagine Pollivre like the kid he is, sneaking on a Liberal speaker trying to distract the speaker doing what you would expect a child to do. Sorry if I mis-spelled his name but you get the drift. Everytime I see him, he appears and acts more like a spoiled child trying to act macho and he sure has a mouth on him.
If he were my son, he would have gotten a swift kick on the know where backside. He would also have a long lasting soapy taste in his friggin mouth. Sorry for being off topic but when I see this video, that's what I can imagine and see.

A fire Wednesday morning destroyed a dumpster and damaged the loading dock area of Advanced Door Technologies in East Stroudsburg, according to one of the managers there.
The fire was reported at about 3:38 a.m., according to the Monroe County Control Center.
The large, three-story building housing Advanced Door Technologies, which makes advanced doors and grilles, is on North Crystal and North Courtland streets, with its loading dock on North Courtland Street.
"I was home when I got a burglar alarm call at the building," said manager Nick McDonald of East Stroudsburg. "It turned out to be the fire company trying to get in to fight the fire.
"When I got here on scene, there were fire trucks everywhere and police were here, too," McDonald said. "The flames were high. Firefighters were using saws to cut down through the roof."
Water from firefighting efforts got into a basement area beneath the loading dock and shorted out a compressor, McDonald said.
There was smoke throughout the building.
"It looks like someone tried to break into the (entrance/exit) door by the loading dock," McDonald said. "It looks like they tried breaking in with a pole that was found nearby. We also found a hypodermic needle nearby and what looks like a blanket on the other side of the dumpster, like someone was trying to make a bed there.
"We had another suspicious dumpster fire in the exact same location here five or six years ago," he said.
Neighboring businesses have been burglarized or vandalized recently, according to McDonald and Advanced Door Technologies President Fred Budetti.
"This whole area has been under attack," Budetti said.
The dumpster has since been replaced.
McDonald estimates repair costs for the electric loading dock doors, shorted-out compressor and roof will be in the thousands of dollars.
"At least no one was hurt and we all still have our jobs," he said.

Pets are family. Saying goodbye is one of the hardest things ever, and I am sure you will miss her dreadfully. You did the best for her you could. I am so sorry you had to go through that, but sounds like Misty had a wonderful kitty Mom! I hope she is chasing rats in kitty heaven!Thank you for sharing her with us, do you have a photo of her you can share?
