World's largest miner spooked by climate change
BHP Biliton rebuilds coal loader to cope with hurricanes, rising sea levels
BHP Billiton – the mining giant with massive coal interests – is laying out its own cash rebuilding a coastal facility to cope with climate change.
Vulture South can't claim any scoop on this – it was announced in an investor presentation on Monday December 3, so about half the world knows about it if they're paying attention – and we're quite happy to credit the fingers that typed the quickest as belonging to the Australian Financial Review.
But the irony of the story skips past "delicious", pays a passing nod to schadenfraude and lands somewhere between "you're kidding" and "too good to be true", because the facility in question is a coal terminal. Here's a salient quote:
"The potential for rising sea levels and more cyclones [hurricanes outside Australia] due to climate change was a factor in [BHP's] decision to replace a jetty at its Hay Point coal export terminal".
The company apparently left itself some wriggle-room with denier investors by leaving out the word "anthropogenic".
However, it seems that when push comes to shove, when bean-counters, engineers and actuaries scream loud enough in the ears of their board, prudence holds sway. The AFR quotes a ranking BHP executive, BHP ferrous and coal head Marcus Randolph, thus:
"As we see more cyclone related events . . . the vulnerability of one of these facilities to a cyclone is quite high," he said. "So we build a model saying this is how we see this impacting what the economics would be and used that with our board of directors to rebuild the facility to be more durable to climate change."
"As these cyclones become more severe, we need to have facilities that are more able to withstand them," he is further quoted as saying.
This doesn't appear to be evidence of a sudden attack of hemp-wearing dope-smoking grant-sucking hippiedom in the world's biggest hole-digger. It seems, for example, to still be happy to blur the issue with the cautious term "carbon intensity".
While Randolph's unequivocal statement about emissions is this: "An absolute ceiling is an absolute ceiling", the investor briefing was told – as was the left-leaning (for a business newspaper) AFR – that BHP's "carbon intensity" is "16 percent below 2006 levels" (meaning "we mine more stuff for other people to burn, while spending less on energy ourselves" – a perfectly sensible efficiency strategy).
The same report notes that the company is de-stressing its coal investments – significant in Australia, where governments across the political spectrum happily lend hands in the bucket brigade to send the black stuff to China at whatever price the Middle Kingdom is happy to pay. ®

Big Fork Little Fork is a new Apple iPad application by Kraft Foods designed to get kids engaged and excited about food and spending time in the kitchen. Since I have a couple of growing foodies in my home, I was excited when Kraft contacted me to see if I'd have an interest in being part of a group of bloggers chosen to try out their new app. The problem? I don't have an iPad (although I really want one… hint hint hubby, my birthday is in one month!). Not to fear, Kraft said they would let me borrow an iPad as well to really give their app a thorough test run.
The Big Fork Little Fork iPad app by Kraft Foods ended up being a huge hit with my kids and I. Filled with fun games, instructional videos, cooking tips, recipes and a really impressive user interface, this beautiful application is well worth the $1.99 charge to download it.
I decided to do a little video of two of my girls, Kelly and Ella, using this Apple iPad application where it fits most… in the kitchen. We ended up going the non-healthy route and created a fun ghostly dessert for Halloween: Boo Cups. We had a ball! I hope you enjoy the video.

Breaking Bad S05E13: "To'hajiilee"
I did some nitpicking last week about near misses—Walter searching an empty house when we expected Jesse to be there, Jesse almost meeting Walter in the plaza but turning tail at the last second—but I was content to know that those ticklings were all in the service of moving characters around and raising some stakes. The idea, I reasoned, was that "Rabid Dog" would take one for the team to set up something grander.
There were no near misses in "To'hajiilee," unless you count the hundreds or possibly thousands of rounds of ammunition that failed to meet flesh in the final scene. The episode was a direct hit and one of the best of the season, maybe even the series. I hate to use the word "perfect" to describe things because I'm the kind of guy who can always find a ...Read more
Bryan Cranston (Malcolm in the Middle) stars in this drama focused on a mid-life crisis gone bad for an underachieving high school chemistry teacher who becomes a drug dealer after discovering he has lung cancer. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to gain financial security for his family, Walter White joins forces with an old student, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), in a quest that follows their entry into a dangerous world of drugs and crime. Breaking Bad is produced by High Bridge Productions, Inc. and Gran Via Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television for AMC Television. Filming takes place in New Mexico.
Breaking Bad has won 16 major category Primetime Emmy Awards from 2008-2014, despite not qualifying for awards in 2011. Most notably, Bryan Cranston has won for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series four times (2008-2010, 2014) during the series' run. Aaron Paul won for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series three times (2010, 2012, 2014). In 2012, he beat fan favorite Giancarlo Esposito in the same nomination category. Anna Gunn won for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series twice (2013, 2014). The show also picked up the Outstanding Drama Series award in 2013 and 2014. The show has 98 critical wins and 168 nominations in total. Critics have largely agreed that Breaking Bad was generally one of the best shows on television, praised for its acting, writing, directing, cinematography, and feature content.
By the end of the series, the producing team consists of Vince Gilligan, Mark Johnson, Michelle MacLaren, Melissa Bernstein, Sam Catlin, Peter Gould, George Mastras, Thomas Schnauz, Moira Walley-Beckett, Bryan Cranston, Diane Mercer and Stewart Lyons.

By Syrenthia Harris
(RNN) - A viral YouTube video for the soon-to-be released movie Carrie showed how some coffee shop customers reacted after a hidden camera experiment.
A hired actor accidentally bumped into an actress. Coffee spilled on her belongings, and she went ballistic.
From the other customers' viewpoints, it looked as if the woman was possessed with some form of telekinetic power that allowed her to lift the man against the wall without touching him. Tables, chairs and books scattered from the sound of her uncontrollable scream.
Customers eventually made their way to the door.
In reality, a fake wall was put up that allowed the man to be lifted up. The tables and chairs were controlled by a remote control, and the pictures and books were spring-loaded.
The video, published on Oct. 7, has more than 3 million views.
This isn't the first strange movie promotion released.
According to Business Insider, some New Yorkers were fooled when they saw what they believed to be flying people over the city's landmarks. What they really saw were people-shaped aircrafts promoting the movie Chronicle.
In 2006, people received phone calls from actor Samuel L. Jackson - who knew details about the people he called - telling them to go see the movie Snakes on a Plane.
Carrie is set to hit theaters Oct. 18.

Dear Amy: My sister is a lovely, kind and generous woman who adores me. She is also triple-A alpha and has a job that requires her to have all of the answers for everyone else. My problem may seem silly, but I am upset and confused, so please lend an ear.
Every time my sister wants to give me a gift (and her gifts are always way too generous, and much more than I could ever reciprocate), she asks me what I want and then gets me something she decides is better.
I have started to fear her gifts! If I get up my squeaky little nerve to ask if I can exchange the gift for what I really want, she argues with me about why what she chose is better.
In the end, I keep the gift, tell her how fabulous she is and feel like a jerk. Since it's not something I wanted, and since it is now loaded with negative emotions, the gift is not enjoyed.
This year I told her I was buying myself something, and suddenly something in the same category (but much bigger and not really what I had in mind) was delivered to my door.
Help. The gifts make me feel powerless and disrespected. I know the answer lies in how I talk to her, so please, some tips. I couldn't stand another argument in which I anger her without being able to make myself heard.
By the way, whenever I try to give her a gift, she tells me cursorily that if she wants something, she'll buy it herself.
— The Lesser Sister
Dear Sister: Your sister is a generous and manipulative saboteur. Imagine what it must be like to be her. She is so competitive she cannot relax into a moment of genuine exchange. She is trapped inside a triple-A alpha persona. It sounds exhausting.
Once you reach a point that you can understand what it might be like to be her, you should do exactly what you want to do. You do not work for her. She does not run you.
She won't allow you to give her gifts; respond in this spirit, and don't allow her to trap you into a schoolyard game of "Sister Knows Best." Don't take the bait. Tell her, honestly, "Let's just stop giving material things and do things together, instead. Opera, ballgame or spa day? You decide."
If items arrive on your doorstep that you have not asked for and do not want, either accept them gracefully (and enjoy) or — if you choose to exchange or return them — thank your sister and make sure her money is refunded to her.
Dear Amy: I am a 14-year-old girl. Recently, I attended a friend's dance recital. During intermission, I stepped into the bathroom, which was mostly populated by grandmothers and mothers, all at least 30 years my senior. The bathroom was mostly full, with only a few stalls open. I ducked into the nearest stall, which happened to be handicap. This elicited a few glares upon emerging. Was I in the wrong?
— Frowned-Upon in Florida
Dear Frowned-upon: The handicap-accessible stalls are not meant to stand empty during busy times; these stalls are there to accommodate disabled citizens, as well as anyone else who wishes to use them.
If you are in a line waiting for stalls (as we females so frequently are) and see a wheelchair bound, elderly, disabled woman — or a mom with younger kids in tow — it is kindest to let that person "go" before you.
Dear Amy: I was so worried when I read the letter from "Concerned Sister." She said her teenage brother had died tragically and her younger sister had suddenly stopped expressing any emotions about it.
It has been 50 years since my little sister died in a tragic accident at age 6. I was 12, and our family still grieves. I think this teenager needs immediate help to cope with this huge loss.
— Kaye
Dear Kaye: I agree. I was alarmed by this teenager's sudden change in attitude; I hope the whole family can get help.

Not so long ago, 37-inch TVs were the most popular size in Britain. In 2011, though, they seem to be a dying breed, with fewer and fewer models finding their way into TV ranges. Sony, for instance, only has two 37-inch TVs in its latest range, including the KDL-37EX524 we're looking at today.
This gradual 37-inch death seems more down to manufacturing issues and the relatively little difference (in price as well as size terms) between 37-inch and 40-inch TVs than the fact that there aren't still plenty of UK punters who want to buy one, though. So here's hoping that the 37EX524 gives the increasingly ill-served 37-inch TV fanbase something to sink their teeth - and cash - into.
The EX524 series sits relatively low down Sony's current TV range, so it's no surprise to find the 37EX524 shorn of any 3D playback options. It's also predictably not one of Sony's opulently designed 'Monolith' sets, with their sheer glass fascias. Instead it looks reasonably but certainly not spectacularly cute in its attractively two-tone but disappointingly plasticky and 'raised bezel' chassis. It's very slim, though, thanks to its edge LED illumination system.
With no 3D talents to yell about, it falls to the 37EX524's Bravia Internet Video (BIV) services to provide its headline feature, along with a wealth of multimedia support that includes DLNA streaming and file playback from USB storage devices.
Alongside the 37EX524 can be found the 32-inch 32EX524, the 40-inch 40EX524 and the 46-inch 46EX524, while moving one step higher up Sony's range gets you to Sony's NX723 series, which introduce 200Hz scanning, toughened 'Gorilla Glass', and Sony's Monolithic design.
If the EX524 series is too rich for your blood, Sony's next series down is the EX523 series, which lack the USB HDD recording and presence sensor functions of the EX524s. But for now, let's get back to the business of putting the 37EX524 through its paces.

The latest Famitsu review scores include DmC Devil May Cry.
so is this a fake review or what?
Who can say? Famitsu reviews are about as reliable as IGN's.
I dislike IGN as well, but Famitsu is way worse. Famitsu is well known to take pay offs.
Famitsu used be a very reputed publication a decade ago but now they are just another bunch of greedy bastards who give always give great reviews to big publisher games. I havent read a single preview/review for DmC that evaluates the game properly on the basis of gameplay, graphics, mechanics, sound, animation and performance. These are basic things in a hardcore technical hack and slash like DMC. Everybody just keeps saying, "it is great, everything is fine! It is better or at least the same as older DMCs." None of the reviews are objective and that is why they look like paid reviews. I do not believe any of the reviews until they evaluate the game properly based on the above criteria. Currently the reviews are like the following image,
I dont think dead mouse is doing the music for DMC, I thought it was CombiChrist?
It's real..it's famitsu..a Japanese game magazine
Yes, Famitsu is real... their reviews are not.
Famitsu's reviews are always plus 3 or 4 of what they should be. I've seen numerous times them rating games with an 8 or 9 and the general consensus on Metacritic gives them a 5 or 6.
To answer your question, NT was referring to online reviews posted before the embargo has been lifted, not print media.
Honestly though Im a bit surprised myself. Thats the same score DMC3 was given by them and I was pretty sure that Japanese reviewers were going to hate this new western DmC. Cant wait to try it out for myself next week.
Welcome back to N4g. Where nothings changed lol
Thats right fella's, strap on those tin foil hats, its gonna be a wild ride.
It may as well be. It's just a total of four arbitrary scores devoid of anything resembling context.
Famitsu reviews are never terribly detailed, but they DO do a good job of pointing out the relative strengths and weaknesses of games, concisely... but the actual scores they give seldom reflect those qualitative judgments.
You know, like every other review you see posted here: reviews that are scathing in criticism but dole out 9s and 10s; reviews that are nothing but praise that dole out 5s and 6s.
Famitsu give a Resident Evil 6 a maximum score (10/10/10/9) , so take a grain of salt this review...
Yep. Famitsu rates everything high.
And Japanese gamers agree with the author of that piece:
LOL oh my god. Nearly perfect scores across the board....
Always take stuff with a grain of salt, but DmC Devil May Cry is worthy of those scores.
Well put it this way I've learnt something about Famists...they ALWAYS give Japanese titles good reviews
Now your proberly thinking "well this dmc isn't Japanese developed" BUT it's still Japanese in it's brand name.
Hell these guys give FF13, F13-2, RE6 nearly perfect scores
Well, if you go by this issue, then the two highest rated games were one western game and one western developed game. The others were Japanese.
Also: DMC is gonna get its fair share of 8s and 9s everywhere else too. As it already has from magazines.
nice to see DMC is getting good reviews, def picking up the game when it launches
Can't wait for it, and it's so close now!
What. The hell. Is this? "Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo!! 100kg Karahajimaru-Koimonogatari&quo t; WILL THAT EVEN FIT ON THE BOX??
That title is weird even for Japanese standards lol.
That feeling when only PSP games get reviewed cus there are no Vita games.
does that mean Nintendo has no games either? -_-
He meant that no Vita games got released.
He's right.
The next Vita games don't release in Japan until January 24th, so they miss this issue of the Weekly Famitsu.
I tried the demo....not tricking me into buying this crap "DMC".
The demo isnt tricking anybody ...its more like the demo screams :
"I tried the demo....not tricking me into buying this crap "DMC"."
Try and have an open mind man, there's a lot of people riding on the coat-tails of hatred here on Negativity4Gamers. DMC seems to be receiving pretty good reviews, and these are reviews of the full game, from start to finish, not of a demo of an incomplete build. I'm not sure anybody's trying to trick anyone, if anything the people bashing the game before they've even played the final build could be seen as the ones trying to trick people.
A demo is a taste of the full game. The controls were terrible, the gameplay was boring, the enemies were boring the design looked bad. I'm not getting this game because I hated the demo which should serve the purpose of giving you a taste of the full game and also because of the way Tameem acted. People like him do not deserve my hard earned money. It's not because others hate this "DMC" so I hate it too just to be "cool" or "accepted". That's not the case, I made up my own mind because of the things I wrote down. After the demo and lot's of gameplay videos it's safe to say that this game is a piece of shit and doesn't deserve the DMC name.
People just need to accept the fact that some of us just don't like this garbage but I actually gave a chance to this game.
i'm not usually a fan of dmc, but if ninja theory's making it, then i'm interested. Just beat heavenly sword, blew my expectations away.
if your a mgs fan then revengeance looks like it's ruining the character and atmosphere and everything that i liked about mgs, but if revengeance is a great standalone title then heck yes i'll play it. that's why i think any dmc fan not willing to enjoy this game if it ends up being great is an idiot.
"that's why i think any dmc fan not willing to enjoy this game if it ends up being great is an idiot."
And that's why no one gives a sh*t about your opinion. You are just like any other DmC fanboy that spouts bs and tries to pass his own opinion as a fact. I loved actual Devil May Cry games (second one, not so much) since the first one and I played them to death. And after watching crap ton of material for DmC and then playing that horrible demo, I decided to not buy it. Oh and, it won't end up being great. There won't be any difference to combat or anything else from the demo considering Tameem himself said that they won't be fixing anything until the actual game comes out.
Enjoy your three hit SSSensational combos.
then your not playing it because you don't like it, not because you refuse to like it because it screwed up dmc's universe, which i'm fine with
"And that's why no one gives a sh*t about your opinion. You are just like any other DmC fanboy that spouts bs and tries to pass his own opinion as a fact."
Way to twist his words and create an argument out of nothing. And in actual fact, as a neutral observer over the last few months it's actually the people bashing the game months before it's even released that look like they are spouting bs and trying to pass their own opinion as fact seeing as they haven't actually even played the final build yet.
GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME makes a very valid point, it looks like so called fans of the Devil May Cry series are going to miss out on a very good entry to the series because they're so wrapped up in hatred purely for the sake of hating.
"Enjoy your three hit SSSensational combos."
This mentality is what is wrong with people. It's not that you can't do varied combos that are difficult to pull off - it's the fact that other "less-skilled" players can get similar scores using easier or more repetitive methods.
Letting somebody else's adeptness with a game get in the way of your own personal enjoyment is both asinine and elitism at it's worst. If you don't want to get a three hit SSS, DO SOMETHING HARDER. It doesn't take anything away from you - in fact, you look better and flashier than others while doing so. Not that anybody cares...
"..it's the fact that other "less-skilled" players can get similar scores using easier or more repetitive methods."
"I have no idea what I'm talking about heauheauhae"
Let's compare this to the old games. In Devil May Cry 1-3-4, to get SSS you had to use everything that was available to you. People who used the "repetitive" combos always managed to get A's and such, which is not bad, but to get an S let alone SSS, you had to use your pistol, a wide variety of different combos, switch style (for DMC 4), dodge on time (barely filled the style meter) or taunt (filled it even less than dodge).
Now onto DmC. All you have to do is do one perfect dodge (easy as hell to do once you're used to timing), two hits with Rebellion and then heavy shockwave attack with the axe.
Keep babbling about how open minded you are. Try to keep using big words or try to write complicated sentences in your own right as much as you want. It won't change the fact that DmC is an utterly sh*t game and it has nothing to do with "lel ur mad cauz u dun die with one hit lol elitist".
It's always easy to blame one party for being "elitist" while failing to give a decent example regarding why do you think that this "problem" isn't important and can actually be considered as a feature to get the newcomers warm to the game or at least let the people who aren't good at the game some more enjoyment...
Meanwhile, in Dante Must Die, you get 2 bars drained from your health in DmC (which was three+ times of that in Devil May Cry 3). Talk about giving hardcore fans what they want (not really) while pandering to the casual crowd with lower difficulty levels named like they are the hardest ones.
"we all know you don't like the new dmc and that's why no one gives a damn about your opinion. Looking forward too this game."
-you don't like this game
-your "opinion" is invalid
ahahaha what a story Mark! How does it feel to be this edgy and being the cancer of the video game industry and being the sole reason that this console generation has become utterly crap?
Also remember to buy Overstrike too. I heard EA dumbed it down for a certain crowd, so that they can enjoy it too.
"Most people never give Enslaved a chance, either. It's very depressing. Such an amazing story!
I can't wait for DMC!"
-Both Heavenly Sword And Enslaved written by decent writers that are hired by NT and have no affiliations with Capcom or NT whatsoever.
-DmC is being written by an edgy manchild NT employee who's been insulting the actual fanbase since day 1 and also loves to self insert...
MGS Revengeance was taken over by Platinum games. I have more expectations and respect for them than for Ninja Theory (who I have no respect for).
I agree. Ninja Theory has made two games. Both were two of the best games I've ever played. Most people never give Enslaved a chance, either. It's very depressing. Such an amazing story!
I can't wait for DMC!
Where's the good story on Enslaved?
You guys should read 3-4 books a year other than playing only videogames.
Aaaaand DmC scored as LittleBigKarting that is a really bad/average game without fun gameplay.
Haha, I honestly thought this game wouldn't be up to the expectations of those that dwell in the land of the rising sun seeing as NT is western. The game comes out Jan 13 over there, this quite a pleasant surprise, I thought that America and Europe reviewers would rate this well, but not Japan. Color me excited. I can't wait for this to release here. Just 1 more week.
@ Blacktric: we all know you don't like the new dmc and that's why no one gives a damn about your opinion. Looking forward too this game.
FINALLY someone gives LBP Karting the love it deserves. Best kart racer since Mario Kart 64. Seriously. I haven't met a person who doesn't enjoy it. I have, however, heard several reviewers trash it...for God knows what. They don't seem to give good reasons.
The game is solid crap.
LBK I mean
Bad gameplay, bad unresponsive controls, stupid boost system, lack of sense of speed, and also average graphic.
It's pretty bad.
Totally your opinion,no actual facts especially when u didn't play the full game...beginning to end...can't wait to play this beautiful looking interesting game! Remember haters...HATE is really LOVE in denial....you so-called haters LOVE to be in EVERY DmC forum,knowing you're going to be playing DmC like the rest of us when Jan,15 drops!!...have fun playing I know I will!!
lol, the guy isn't even talking about DMC pff and the fanboys call us the haters.
@mocat I learnt from a while that lots of people on N4G only looks at pics and is not able to read, a big majority of those who can actually read, don't understand what they read and finally, most of those who understand what they read, don't give a crap because they already have their opinions set in stone.
That's why I become a troll every time I post here in the comment section :p
And I quite enjoy it I must say :D
Shame on me! :p
Devil May Cry 3 - 9 / 9 / 8 / 8
DmC Devil May Cry - 8 / 9 / 8 / 9
The same score...
Yeah, as I've always done before with famitsu, I take their opinion with a large pinch of salt.
Famitsu gave FFXIII & RE6 39/40 the ppl who review games there r clueless beyond imagination to take any review score from them seriously means to be also clueless & have the brain of a brick.
I can understand the die hard fans of the series being pretty pissed of with how Ninja Theory "treated" ye guys in regards to all the changes, it would be the same if Hideo Kojima handed the reigns of Metal Gear Solid to another dev team and they thought they should change Solid Snake's design, I'd be furious!
But, me being someone who really enjoyed the past Devil May Cry games, but not a die hard fan, have to admit that the DmC demo was pretty good, gorgeous graphics, great art direction and satisfying combat, the boss battle was really well done and it's design was gruesomely awesome.
Moral of the story, I can understand the hate, but doesn't take away from the fact that it, well the demo, was really good and I have no reason as to way the full game won't be.
I agree with your point entirely mate. I don't understand the hate either.
However Dantes redesign isn't Ninja theory's doing. It's Capcom. The initial designs of dante were prettty close to what he looked like in DMC 3 but when NT presented them to Capcom they were told they wanted him to be radically altered. Thus they went back to the drawing board and came up with the new Dante and i honestly wouldn't be surprised if the whole games narrative ends up being about how he ends up with White hair and is the bad asss we all know and love.
maybe just maybe, if we ask for it enough they could make a DLC skin that makes him look like the old Dante. :D
They hate the game, so everyone should hate it too. Simple. Anyone who wants to give the game a try is either disagreed with or put down.
It's pretty sad. I think the game should be given a chance but what do I know?
I can see why they're so upset, but like I said, the demo was very very good, and I came across a GIF with regards to DmC and .......... *SPOILER* *SPOILER* *SPOILER* .........
He does, at some point in the game, have shoulder length white hair, but I digress.
The demo was good enough to entice me to buy it.
That, along with Devil May Cry HD & Devil May Cry 4 for €85, not a bad deal right there.
Famitsu has always been total rubbish, but the amount of people that literally want this game to do terrible makes me laugh.
I wouldn't be surprized if they bribed other western developers, in my opinion I think they have or threaterned them, but Famitsu is s far up a load of Japanese developers arse's that it wouldn't even need a bribe off them.
Omg dante looks different! somehow that makes the entire game suck!......seriously, this hate is getting old.
The controls are pretty much the same as other DMC's bashing a game for new reason? Sounds like RE6 all over again.
RE6 got hate for no real reason? Not survival horror, QTE every 5 seconds, Horrid camera that sometimes makes the game impossible to play, broken cover system, ridiculous over the top action setpieces, cheap deaths that have nothing to do with your skill, just 2 or 3 puzzles in the whole goddamn game, overpowered melee... Should I go on? You shouldnt talk about things you know nothing about.
Ahhhhh someone who thinks this game is getting hate because of the hair/design
How clueless...yes thats right jump on the "I'm going to defend it and be all noble despite not having a clue whats going on" bandwagon
It's ironic because the only comments here that mention Dante's design are the ones who like this piece of crap.
We've gotten over Dante's design. The real problem is gameplay. But to be fair, it's not just DmC that suffers from this problem. A lot of hack n slash games have been watered down these days.
Can you please elaborate on why the gameplay is bad? It feels just like DMC4 as far as controls and gameplay go. Combo system is pretty good (not as great as Bayonetta) and the rating system is exactly the same as past installments. You can switch weapons mid-combo just like DMC 3 and 4. The only thing thats truly different about this game is the art style and presentation. I dont know. Maybe I see things differently. I just dont understand the hate this game gets from westerners.

PHOENIX -- When Mexico beat the United States during the 2006 World Baseball Classic, it was a little bittersweet because the team was headed home no matter what.
Doing it again with so much at stake was simply sweet for the Mexicans.
Adrian Gonzalez homered and drove in three runs, seven pitchers handcuffed United States hitters all night and Mexico rebounded from a disappointing opening loss with a decisive 5-2 win over the Americans in Pool D of the World Baseball Classic on Friday.
"The last one, we knew we were out and that put us in a position where we had nothing to lose," Gonzalez said. "This one, we're still in it and we had to win. We went out and played as close to a perfect game as you can play in baseball."
Coming off a last-inning loss to Italy, Mexico (1-1) needed a win or its tournament was essentially over.
Mexico got off to a great start, tagging U.S. starter R.A. Dickey for four runs in the first three innings, including a two-run homer by Gonzalez in the third.
Yovani Gallardo started Mexico's domination of U.S. hitters with 3 1-3 solid innings and Luis Cruz had two RBIs to give a boisterous, pro-Mexico crowd of 44,256 plenty to cheer about at Chase Field.
Mexico will send out right-hander Marco Estrada against Canada on Saturday with a chance to move on to the second round of the WBC for the third straight tournament, depending on how the rest of the pool plays out.
"We knew we had to win," Mexico manager Rick Renteria said. "I don't know if you'd consider it an upset or not, but we're relishing in the victory."
Team USA (0-1) never recovered after Dickey's early struggles, its stacked lineup unable to get much of anything going against Mexico's string of pitchers.
The Americans didn't have an extra-base hit until the seventh inning and had six singles among their eight hits. They also stranded eight runners, forcing them into a must-win situation against surprising Italy on Saturday.
Ryan Vogelsong will pitch against the Italians, who opened the WBC with two wins.
"You want to win the game and certainly we were ready to go out there today," U.S. manager Joe Torre said. "But they did a better job at what they were doing than what we were doing."
The U.S. team has been so-so thus far in the WBC, failing to get past the round-robin stage in 2006 and losing in the semifinals in 2009, helping to clear the way for Japan to win the first two titles.
Team USA is stocked for a good run in this year's tournament, trotting out a lineup that includes three former league MVPs - Ryan Braun, Joe Mauer and Jimmy Rollins - along with nine other players who have been major league All-Stars.
Hoping to get the tournament off to a good start, Torre handed the ball to Dickey, the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner and the first knuckleballer to win the prize.
While many of the big-name pitchers back out of playing in the WBC, Dickey was an enthusiastic participant, in part because he was on the 1996 U.S. Olympic team that earned a disappointing bronze.
His opening game in the WBC didn't go too well.
Mexico jumped on the right-hander's knuckleball right off, starting with Eduardo Arredondo's reach-and-slap single to open the game. He came around to score on Cruz's sacrifice fly after a double by Ramiro Pena. Gonzalez made it 2-0 with a groundout to second, revving up the crowd.
Gonzalez brought fans to their feet in the third inning with a two-run homer to the deepest part of the park, a towering shot above the pool deck in right-center that was upheld by a video review.
Dickey was three pitches short of the WBC minimum 65 after four innings and didn't come back out. He allowed four runs and six hits.
"I wasn't as sharp," Dickey said. "I felt pretty good in the `pen and threw some really good ones when I was out there, but consistently it was not as good as I hope for."
Mexico was in need of a lift after a disappointing opening game against Italy.
Leading 5-4 after eight innings, the Mexicans lost 6-5 after Sergio Romo, closer for the World Series champion San Francisco Giants, gave up a two-run double to Anthony Rizzo. Mexico had the bases loaded in the bottom half against Jason Grilli, but Jorge Cantu grounded out to end the game.
For their critical second game, Mexico turned to Gallardo, the Milwaukee Brewers ace who won 16 games last season.
Unlike Dickey, he was sharp early, facing the minimum through three innings after Mauer singled in the second inning and was quickly erased on a double play.
Gallardo was done after a leadoff single by Rollins in the fourth inning and a one-out walk to Braun. David Wright followed with a run-scoring single to right off Luis Mendoza to cut Mexico's lead to 4-1, but Eric Hosmer grounded out on a comebacker with runners at the corners to end the inning.
Gallardo allowed a run on two hits and struck out four.
"He did a fantastic job," Renteria said. "He commanded the zone seemingly all night. Obviously did a very efficient job locating."
Cruz put Mexico up 5-1 with a sacrifice fly off Glen Perkins in the fifth after Arredondo's third hit led off the inning.
Team USA had two on in the fifth and sixth innings and failed to get a run in, and Rollins was stranded at second in the seventh after a two-out double, their first extra-base hit of the night.
The U.S. finally came through in the eighth, when Hosmer blooped a single to center off Fernando Salas to score Braun and cut Mexico's lead to 5-2.
Romo bounced back from his rough outing against Italy, closing out Mexico's statement win with a perfect ninth that set off a huge roar inside Chase Field and sent the Mexican players charging off the bench.
"Those guys have the confidence in me and it hasn't ever wavered," a subdued Romo said. "I showed up from the get-go and it's some respect that I'd never really had before. There's no chance I was going to let anybody down."

8 Things I Learned On Vacation in France
This year, more than ever, I'm dying for a vacation. I've been working hard on projects that have really meant a lot to me and now I'd like some time off. My mind immediately wanders over to France and memories of my trip there last year flood through me. It was a trip that was so rich I'm still reaping the benefits of it now, but it makes me anxious to be able to revisit it for a little refresher course in vacation:
1. Savor the moment. I spent a good portion of the day sitting at the dining table and watching the light change while catching up with family, doing some blogging and spending an inordinate amount of time eating. I didn't do much, didn't cross much off the list of things to do, but my days were rich and satisfying.
2. Keep things clean. The house I stayed in was kept in very clean condition. The kitchen floor was mopped at least every day and, at the end of each day, all the dishes were done, all the food was wrapped up and there weren't really odds and ends left out on the counters or the dining table. Having a large house like this stay so clean kept it feeling inviting and comfortable.
3. Don't be afraid to make a mess. Of course, meals were a big deal, and unlike at home where the dishes are whisked off the table as soon as we're done so that we can get on to the next thing, here we seemed to luxuriate in dishes strewn about the table. Not until the wee hours of the night did the table get cleared. Being able to sit and relax without jumping up to start washing up made time move more slowly and allowed conversations to meander (in a good way).
4. Classics are classics. My grandmother's Thonet bentwood chairs and Eames Wire chair were right at home in the classic Provincial house. Why? Because they're classics. She's had those chairs for 40 years and they're as relevant as ever.
5. The Mundane is beautiful. I picked up this vase at a Marche aux Puces and then we filled it with clippings from just outside the door. They might not be pretty peonies, but they do the trick and it reminded me how beautiful everyday things can be and that it's often best to do less in order to enjoy what's in front of me.
6. Embrace the seasons. In California, except for the extreme heat, it's easy to let seasons slip by unnoticed. I was in France in the Fall and the thunderstorms, heavy fog and bright sunny hot days reminded me that the weather was changing and to enjoy whatever was in store for the day. I can take the nice weather in LA for granted, but when I'm grateful and make use of going outside and enjoying it, life is sweeter.
7. Simple is Beautiful. I finally got a chance to check out le petit atelier de paris and their beautiful white porcelain work based on familiar shapes and meant to be used everyday. I loved the plain red and white dishcloth they'd set their display up on top of. It didn't need ot be fancy or ornate to be beautiful. This is something I try to practice at home.
8. Set the table. A small detail but one that I try to practice at home. I clear the table of whatever has accumulated and I set it for dinner. I use nice plates and napkins and I don't skimp on how many we dishes we use (because I loathe the idea of having to wash them). I also try not to do 12 other things while I eat. It's a small ritual, but one that makes meals and the evening time feel so much more satisfying.

Slovakian star Peter Sagan attacked with a mile left in the road world championships on Sunday, then grit his teeth and powered down Broad Street to capture the gold medal in a thrilling finish.
The popular Sagan built such a lead on silver medalist Michael Matthews of Australia and bronze medalist Ramunas Navardauskus of Lithuania that he rode hands-free across the line.
With a flourish, Sagan tossed his bike aside and thrust his arms into the air. He tossed his helmet into the crowd, then high-fived his biggest rivals as they joined him at the finish.
It was the first medal in the men's road world championships for Slovakia.
The day's breakaway formed shortly...

AZ forward Jozy Altidore has been subjected to racist chanting during a Dutch Cup game with Den Bosch which was eventually abandoned due to crowd unrest.
Monkey chanting was aimed towards the 23-year-old in the first-half of AZ's 5-0 victory over second-tier Den Bosch on Tuesday evening.
Two announcements had been made to stop the chanting and the club said a third warning would result in the match's abandonment.
Referee Reinold Wiedemeijer attempted to call a halt to proceedings, but Altidore urged the official to continue and later scored to make it 4-0.
But the match was later postponed after Den Bosch supporter's began hurling ice at officials after the team had been reduced to nine men.
Altidore admitted he was disappointed with the abuse, but said he was determined to continue playing.
He told Eredivisielive.nl: "It's a bit disappointing these things still happen in this time. You just hope these people can find a way to improve themselves.
"They have issues and they need some help. I'll pray for them.
"Racism is still alive, all we can do is educate young kids coming up."
He continued: "I feel like I have an obligation to my club and my family to not react to that and show the club stands for things better than that. We had good rhythm and we were doing things right and you have to look at the bigger picture."
Officials from both clubs were also united in condemning the conduct of the Den Bosch supporters.
AZ's sporting director Earnest Stewart hit out at the culprits and said they are tarnishing the image of Dutch football.
"It's incredibly sad that this happens," he told Eredivisie Live.
"It is ridiculous. And all this after the events in recent months.
"The people at Den Bosch are ashamed of this. It's not only annoying for Jozy, but for Dutch football in general."
An official for Den Bosch added: "I'm deeply hurt by these people. I'm ashamed of what just happened. I have no words for it."

As we all are well aware, one of the pitfalls of nursing is the holiday schedule. During most of the year, it's bearable. We take our weekend shifts and night shifts in stride, but when your 25 closest relatives plan to be camped out at your house for turkey and football, well, it gets a little more frustrating.
What can be done to make the holidays a little easier? Well, at the top of the list, as with any job, is management that is willing to realize you have a life outside of work. Perhaps your hospital already has good scheduling karma, but if not, maybe it is time to speak up—respectfully!—and offer some new options for next year's holiday scheduling.
Here are a few scheduling ideas to get you started:
• Allow everyone to prioritize the days they would prefer to take off. Perhaps Christmas Eve is more important in your family than Christmas Day. By setting your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice of holidays, everyone is more likely to get what they want.
• If a sign-up sheet method is used, next to the sign-up sheet, post the holidays all employees worked the previous year. If everyone can see that Sarah worked Christmas Day and 4th of July last year, everyone can understand why she doesn't want to work those days this year.
• Create groups. Group 1 works 4th of July, Thanksgiving and New Years' Day. Group 2 works Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Christmas Day. Each year, the groups alternate, and groups are static for at least 3 years in advance.
Once the schedule is set however, there are always ways to make working the holiday better:
• Throw a party. Have everyone bring a dish, and have a potluck party. Be sure to invite any families that are visiting patients, as they are missing their holiday celebrations, too!
• Remember that airfare is cheaper just before and after the holidays. If you can't visit family on Christmas, waiting until after the holidays won't be the end of the world, particularly if the plane ticket is $200 cheaper!
• And lastly, don't forget that your patients can't be at home celebrating with their families, either. When your own troubles get you down, it is always useful to help someone else with theirs. Pay extra attention to your patients at the holidays and make their day a little brighter. It will inevitably make yours better in the process!

Play Date Dress
Added Aug 2, 2011
by sunnilj9
Cedar City, Utah...
This is quite possibly the most flattering dress I have ever made. In fact, I received several compliments the first time I wore it – which was just to run errands last week. I kept getting, "I love your dress" all day long. I felt kind of like a movie star in the dress, getting all these looks from everyone. It was very fun.
This is the Lonsdale Dress from Sewaholic Patterns. The instructions are top notch and the pattern is drafted perfectly, meaning that all the notches and such line up with each other. The sort of funny thing for me is that this pattern looks harder than it really is and in fact this pattern was easy peasy. I loved it! If you even considered sewing this up for yourself – DO IT and do it NOW! Yay!
I know you're all wondering about the fabric – isn't it just darling? It's a polka dot linen from Yellow Bird Fabrics – a local Utah apparel fabrics shop.
I made a few alterations to the pattern itself, just for the fun of it. What's a bag of tricks if you never use em right? I shirred the back panels of the bodice. Doing this prevented me from self facing the back panels, so only the front are faced/lined. No biggie. I'm also not exactly the type that can run around without a bra. I'm a just a tad too busty for it (unless I'm in a darkish billowy dress) so I did a little bust padding in the front. A little couture done light, if you will. I made my own bust pads, following Tasia's tutorial and just tacked those puppies into a muslin underlining I had created to go on the inside of the front panel pieces. I'm pretty satisfied with the look of those and even more satisfied that no, indeed I do not have to wear a bra. That kind of freedom can't be bought.
The front panels are lined twice (the muslin with the bust padding) and also with a white linen. Since I did the shirring, I found too, that the section right to the sides of the bust gaped a little. I added a little elastic there to nip it in so that there was no peeking down and into my bust area. All in all the bodice was the most difficult and only because I made it that way. The skirt section is lined in a cheap silk I had on hand. The polka dot linen was a little on the see through side for the skirt, but putting in a lining could not have been easier. I decided early on that I wanted to try out my rolled hem on my serger for the lining. This being a "Summer of Love" dress, I wanted everything to be easy – no pun intended, of course. After doing the lining with my serger's rolled hem, I just threw caution to the wind and decided to do the hem of the outer dress as well in the same fashion. Is that cheating? Because if its not, it certainly felt like it. Still, I love the way it looks. It has a great summery, no fuss feeling, which ultimately was what I was going for.
I think the only thing that I could have benefited from was a waistline stay. Since I planned to always wear a belt with this dress, I didn't do one, but will definitely consider it for a future round. Love this dress!

Aug 4, 2011, 04.41 AMby luxihere
Inspired by Lonsdale dress, i self drafted pattern and made a summer dress for my DD, in fact 2 dresses, they can viewed here
I had posted a comment saying thanks to Tasia on her blog as well, but mysteriously my comments never showed up though i could see other comments posted after that (based on time) visible. anyway owner of the site decides what comments to publish or not, isn't it. But i publish all comments which are decent and are not Spam on my blog. I hope this comment atleast stays published and dresses inspired by Lonsdale dress also gets shared.

It's beautiful, no wonder you got compliments all day! It's very flattering on you and I love the fabric choice.
Aug 3, 2011, 04.33 PMby julib
So cute! I love your fabric choice – the blue polka dots on the white fabric is so beautiful and fun! :-)
Aug 3, 2011, 01.59 PMby elegantmusings
I know I already said this on your blog, but I LOVE how your Lonsdale turned out! ;) You've set the bar high, Sunni, for everyone! :D (I mean that in the nicest, complimentary way, dear!)

As you discovered in "Take Control of Your Reports with ReportViewer, Part 1" (October 2006), Microsoft Visual Studio 2005's ReportViewer control is multitalented.You can use it as a convenient interface to a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SSRS) report server. In addition, you can use it for rendering local reports, freeing you from the need for a report server.
When the ReportViewer control renders reports locally, it requires the host application to take responsibility for some of the activities necessary for report creation. The activities include creating the data set and prompting the user for report parameters. In "Take Control of Your Reports with ReportViewer, Part 1," I showed you how to create and display a local report using mainly drag-and-drop programming to create the data set. Now I want to show you how to write code that provides the report-parameter prompting and the data set, which provides endless possibilities in the types of reports you can create. For example, you can create an application that stores the local report definitions in external files so that you can add new reports or update existing reports without having to recompile and redistribute the application.
The New Sample Report
Let's look at how you can use the ReportViewer control to render a main report and a subreport that aren't embedded in the application's .exe or .dll file.The definitions for these two reports exist as Report Definition Language (.rdl) files in the folder from which the application is being run. These reports are created as report server reports in the Business Intelligence Development Studio, so they have the .rdl extension rather than the Report Definition Language Client (.rdlc) extension.
The main report, EmployeeTime.rdl, provides users with a multiselect parameter, which is used for choosing one or more job types to be reported on. A prompt and a list of the job types are hard-coded in the report parameter definition, as Figure 1 shows.
When a user selects one or more job types, the report displays the total number of hours worked by employees of each type.The user can drill down to see information about the individual employees in a job type, which weeks they worked, and the hours worked in a given week.The user can also expand the work history to reveal a subreport named EmployeeAssignments.rdl, which shows the work assignments for an employee.
How to Render the Local Report
The example for this article uses a Windows forms application to host the ReportViewer control. On the form, you need to add a ReportViewer control to display the report. You also need to add a label and checked list box (which are used to prompt the user to specify one or more job types) and a button (which lets the user render the report after selecting the job types). To make these items functional, you have to add the necessary code.
Adding the code that loads the label and checked list box. To make the label and checked list box work, you need to add the code in Listing 1 to the form's load event. (You can download fully commented versions of the code discussed in this article from the SQL Server Magazine Web site.) This code will extract information about the report parameter from the report definition and use it to load the label and checked list box. Because the information about the report parameter is already defined in the report definition, it makes sense to use that metadata rather than hard-coding it again in the application.
As callout A in Listing 1 shows, the code sets the ReportViewer control's Processing-Mode property to local processing and sets the local report's ReportPath property to the EmployeeTime.rdl file. This code assumes the .rdl file is in the same folder as the executable, so no folder path is needed. (Alternatively, you can load the content of the report's .rdl file into a stream or text reader and use the local report's LoadReportDefinition method to load that stream or text string.)
After the report's definition is specified in the local report's ReportPath property, you can extract information from that definition. In this case, you need to extract information about the prompt and the list of job types for the report parameter. To do so, you must examine the collection of parameter information embedded in the report definition.
The ReportViewer control doesn't do any database access. The parameter's Valid-Values collection contains the data because the data is hard-coded in the report definition. If the report definition had used a data set to populate the list of job types, those values wouldn't show up in the Report-Viewer control. Instead, the ValidValues collection would have been set to Nothing and you would have to duplicate the data set in the application.
As I noted previously, the code in Listing 1 makes assumptions about the report being rendered and the parameters it requires. However, with some creativity and a bit more code, it's possible to create a more generic application. For example, you can write code that points to any RDL file, then determines the number of required parameters and their data types. With this information, your application can create the right type of data-entry control for each report parameter.
Adding the click event code for the button. Listing 2 shows the Render Report button's click event code that you need to load into the form.As callout A in Listing 2 shows, the code first resets the ReportViewer control. This lets users change the job types and click the Render Report button multiple times to get different reports without having to exit the application. However, because you're resetting the ReportViewer control, you have to set the processing mode and the local report's ReportPath property again, as callout B in Listing 2 shows.
Next, the code takes the values selected in the checked list box and passes them to the local report. This might seem a bit strange considering that the ReportViewer control doesn't create the data set and that most report parameters are used solely in the WHERE clause of the data set query.
However, some report parameters are used in the report definition itself, so they're required by the ReportViewer control for report rendering. The ReportViewer control doesn't try to determine which report parameters are used in the data set query and which are used in the report definition. Instead, it requires that a value be supplied for every report parameter defined in the report.
As callout C in Listing 2 shows, the code provides the report parameter values by creating an array of ReportParameter objects. Each object has properties for the parameter name and a collection of values. The report parameter name is supplied in the New statement for the ReportParameter object. The code loops through selected values in the checked list box and adds them to the ReportParameter object's values collection.At the same time, the code also builds a comma-separated list of the selected values.
The code at callout D uses SqlConnection and SqlCommand objects to create a result set for the report. The comma-separated list just created is passed as a parameter to the SQL stored procedure that ultimately queries the database tables. The result set returned from the stored procedure is assigned to the collection of data sources used by the local report. For the report to use the data set properly, the name of the data set must match the name in the report definition. In this case, the name is Employee-TimeDS.
Finally, the code uses the RefreshReport method to cause the ReportViewer control to render the report. Although the report is ready for rendering, the subreport isn't. In order for the subreport to function properly, you need a bit more code.
How to Render the Subreport
There are two important parts to handling subreports with the ReportViewer control.The first part deals with the way the ReportViewer control finds the definition of any subreports referenced by the main report. Essentially, the ReportViewer control loads the subreport definitions using the same method used to load the main report. When the ReportViewer control reads the report definition from the file system based on a path specified in the ReportPath parameter, the control will read the subreport definitions from the file system as well. (When the report definition is loaded using the LoadReportDefinition method, you must use the LoadSubreportDefinition method to load the report definitions for any subreports.)
When the ReportPath parameter is used, the ReportViewer control looks for the subreports in the same folder in which it found the main report.The ReportViewer control uses the name of the subreport specified in main report definition as the name of the subreport definition file. It assumes a file extension of .rdlc. Even if you specify that the main report file has an .rdl extension, the ReportViewer control will still use an .rdlc extension for the subreport. So, to make the subreport code work properly, you must rename the subreport definition file from EmployeeAssignments.rdl to EmployeeAssignments.rdlc.
The second part of handling subreports deals with creating the data sets for the subreport. Each time a subreport is rendered, you must use the local report's Subreport-Processing event to supply code that creates the necessary data sets for that subreport. When a subreport is rendered, this event fires. It's up to you to handle this event properly, which brings us to the code between callout A and callout B in Listing 2.This code assigns a subroutine to serve as the event handler for the SubreportProcessing event. In this case, the subroutine is named GalacticSubreportProcessingEvent-Handler.
GalacticSubreportProcessingEventHandler first gets the value for the Employee-Number parameter passed from the main report to the subreport. The subroutine then uses the EmployeeNumber parameter's value to create a result set and adds that result set to the collection of data sources used by the subreport. As with the main report, the name of the data set must match the name in the subreport's definition.
With the necessary code in place, the application is now ready to render both the report and subreport. When a user selects entries in the checked list box and clicks the Render Report button, the user will get results similar to those in Figure 2.
Rendering Behind the Scenes
In addition to being added as a visual control on a form, the ReportViewer control can function as an object instantiated in code without a visual presence. When used in this manner, you can use the Report-Viewer control to render reports in any of the supported rendering formats, including spreadsheet (.xls), PDF, and XML. You can then use these rendered reports within the application or write them to a file. You can also render reports in Enhanced Meta-File (EMF) format and send them directly to a printer. You can even render the report as an image and use that image as the background to a control or form.
Listing 3 shows the code that makes our sample report a background image in a form. As callout A in Listing 3 shows, the code uses a subroutine to create an instance of the ReportViewer control, point the viewer at the report definition, and supply the required data set. Although this code is similar to that used in Listing 1 and Listing 2, the rest of the code in the subroutine differs from what you've seen so far. As callout B in Listing 3 shows, the subroutine defines an XML structure named deviceInfo. This structure provides information (e.g., page size, margin size) required by the various rendering formats. Next, the code prepares for the Render method, which will place the rendered report's pages in a list of streams (one stream for each page). The preparations include initializing the list of streams to an empty list and providing a callback function that will create a new stream for each new page.The callback function, which is named CreateStream, appears at the end of Listing 3.
With the necessary preparations made, the subroutine finally calls the Render method.The method's first parameter specifies the rendering format. As callout C in Listing 3 shows, the format in this example is Image. After the method is called, you can use the streams as desired. In this case, the first and only stream is the first page of the Employee List report, which is converted to a bitmap and assigned to the form's BackgroundImage property. Figure 3 shows the result.
Reports Anywhere and Everywhere
The ReportViewer control is an extremely flexible tool. It supplies you with a convenient way to display reports residing on a Reporting Services report server. It also provides the means for you to render reports in a completely self-contained environment, severing your ties to the report server. To borrow an old advertising slogan, with the ReportViewer control, Reporting Services reports can truly be everywhere you and your users want to be.

Last week, Jamie Cherry set a state record with 12 3-pointers against Triton in the second round of the NCHSAA 3-A playoffs.
West Craven�s senior guard will get the chance to showcase her long-range shooting in Myrtle Beach, S.C. on March 21 and 22.
Cherry was one of 10 girls selected to play in the 2014 Carolinas All-Star Basketball Classic. It�s a game that pits the top players from North Carolina against the best from South Carolina.
The game is played on Saturday, March 22, but a day earlier, she will compete in a 3-point competition.
�It�s a huge honor for anybody down here to be able to make the game,� Cherry said. �I�m looking forward to showcasing my talents as one of the top players in the state.�
Cherry will join forces on the North Carolina squad with her Garner Flames AAU basketball teammates � Kiara Leslie, Jessica Jones and Jazmine Jones.
�A couple of my AAU teammates are on my team for North Carolina. By seeing them there, I know the talent-level is pretty high,� Cherry said.
�I�m expecting to go out there and show everybody my skills, and my shooting ability. The big thing is going there and having fun.�
Cherry still has unfinished business to take care of before her all-star game.
The West Craven Eagles (26-1) play Northern Nash (26-1) on Wednesday in the 3-A Eastern Regional semifinals at Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville.
Cherry, with 1,151 career points, is just nine points behind former Williamston standout Katie Paschal for second-place all-time in the state.
She is averaging 33.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 4.3 points per game.
Cherry is also a candidate for North Carolina�s Gatorade Player of the Year.

Anna Goodwin, rising West Springfield High School senior, resident for two months
"My favorite thing about Lorton is the series of wooded paths that run throughout the neighborhoods. It's more interesting to run through the woods compared to your typical suburban block. I'm kind of new to the area, and my neighbors as well as the community were really welcoming. I also like that a lot of the schools are in walking distance; although I graduated from 6th grade already, I'm excited that my little brother will be so close."
David Cole, consultant, resident for two years
"I really like the lack of congestion in the area. Lorton is a good central location for shopping, and it's also not a bad commute when you have to go into Washington D.C. The park system is also really nice and my six-year-olds love swimming and playing in the neighborhoods. Overall it's pretty perfect."
Janice Renfor, office manager, resident for 17 years
"I enjoy how much there is to do here. There's swimming, biking, kayaking. I have five children and they loved exploring the parks and the outdoors side of Lorton. I'm content here, especially when you compare it to other parts of the Washington area. The congestion is not bad either."
Tom Lienay, special education teacher, resident for 27 years
"The greatest thing Lorton has to offer is the availability of jobs. Given the economy and compared to other cities, there are a lot of openings in the wanted ads. My daughter grew up here and really enjoyed playing soccer for South County. I think my advice to newcomers would be to beware of the crowds and occasional traffic jam."
Kathryn Boudreau, air force retiree, resident for 10 years
"The proximity to Washington D.C. is one of the great things about Lorton. We also have an excellent park system; Burke Lake Park is gorgeous and right around the corner. The traffic can get pretty bad, but overall my family has had a good experience here. My son just graduated from Lake Braddock and it was a huge part of his life."
Sandra Keith, retired nurse, resident for 24 years
"I love to shop everywhere. So the location of all the stores and Gold's Gym is really convenient for me. Lorton has a lot to offer in terms of history and the fact that it's a neat town. There's definitely a big sense of community and involvement that comes from living here."

"Permanent Mark" on Spike TV
So it seems I'm a bit late to the party for the latest in tattoo TV. Last month, the testosterone channel Spike TV launched Permanent Mark, a three-episode special that follows 20+-year tattoo veteran "Permanent Mark" Walters as he travels the world experiencing various tattoo cultures. Here's how Mark explains the show:
I've been beating down doors for 7 years in Hollywood, way before the Miami Ink and L.A Ink and all the other shows about tattoos on TV. I was trying to get networks to film a show about how I would break into the subcultures of indigenous tattoos worldwide no matter what nasty shit I had to eat, what new fever I would catch, or what hole I had to crap in with a leaf too small to wipe my ass. All these things would get me respect in certain tribes and cultures because I never pretend to be tougher than I was, and my humility and stupidity showed them I was only human.
You can watch the full episodes online here. It's compelling TV. Grittier and more SpikeTV-ish than Discovery's Tattoo Hunter with tattoo anthropologist Dr. Lars Krutak, which we loved. Let's see if Permanent Mark has lasting appeal and gets picked up.
Also, check Mark's video blogs on YouTube like the one below.

St. Elizabeth Mennonite Church (St. Elizabeth, Manitoba, Canada)
St. Elizabeth Mennonite Church, now extinct, located 25 miles south of Winnipeg, Manitoba, began in 1915 when the Seth Miller family and others moved here in 1915-18. These settlers organized a Sunday school on 1 March 1919, with A. A. Zook and Seth Miller as superintendents. The largest membership was 15. They were affiliated with the Dakota-Montana Conference (now North Central), and ministers from the district filled monthly appointments. At different times Allan Good and J. M. Kreider held special meetings. The work was discontinued because of the Great Depression, prejudice against German-speaking people, and lack of a resident minister.
