I am new to this site and am looking to buy a new bike for my wife for her birthday (am going to take her with to make sure she gets the right size). The bike would mainly be used for rides around the neighborhood, local trips down gravel paths, and rides in northern Wisconsin on gravel/sand paths. The area around our home is pretty flat, but the paths in northern Wisconsin can be somewhat hilly.
I am not sure what type of bike to get (she has an old mountain bike now) but am thinking a comfort or hybrid bike might be best. I would like to keep any purchase around or under $400 as the bike won't be used more more than once a couple times a week for more casual use. Any suggestions on types, manufacturers and specific models would be greatly appreciated!

Most "ninja weaponry" was originally found not in an armory but on a farm. Items like the sai, the bo staff, and the mighty nunchuck were used by desperate, impoverished people in their fight for a better world. By the time of the American Revolutionary War, weapons progressed to the point that the "shot heard round the world" was fired from a black powder musket. Today, the weapons of progress and change are different. I'm not referring here to the machine gun or the nuclear warhead, either, but to something altogether more powerful: the World Wide Web. In each of these cases, the core power came not from the weapons' form but from the ability to be heard

A green planet is a planet that is going to last longer and remain healthier because it involves recycling, reusing, and reducing to create a safer, happier and healthier environment. Many art projects are now taking on a green or eco-friendly focus because people want to place more emphasis on being sustainable and environmentally aware

The line between star and subject becomes almost invisible in the Australian arena tour of "The Boy From Oz." When he first performed the role on Broadway in 2003, Hugh Jackman's charisma, vitality and breezy confidence onstage far outshone the narrative or emotional scope of the by-the-numbers biomusical of singer-songwriter Peter Allen.
The line between star and subject becomes almost invisible in the Australian arena tour of "The Boy From Oz." When he first performed the role on Broadway in 2003, Hugh Jackman's charisma, vitality and breezy confidence onstage far outshone the narrative or emotional scope of the by-the-numbers biomusical of singer-songwriter Peter Allen. The scales have been tipped even further toward the performer in this pumped-up reconfiguration of the show, playing state capitals in venues of 10,000 seats or more. It's as much a concert platform for a returning local boy made good in Hollywood as it is a life story of Peter Allen. And that's no bad thing."The best thing about being an Australian in America is coming home," says Jackman as Allen. The reciprocal waves of affection between the star and his audience, fueled by an almost incredulous smile as he comes off a Rockettes kickline, or his evident emotion while taking his bows on opening night in Sydney made it clear this mammoth production delivers everything national audiences could want. A big, brash, shameless Vegas-style spectacle that aims to seduce and entertain while declining to dig deep into its subject seems somehow true to the spirit of Allen even if he does get a little lost in the process. The Australian songsmith achieved his greatest successes penning hits for other people, but he was first and foremost an entertainer, best remembered for shaking his maracas and grinding his hips to the exuberant strains of "I Go to Rio." A formative influence in Allen's career was his mother-in-law, Judy Garland, who admonishes him for his performance skills, saying, "You do the job, but you never show yourself." If her advice to bare his heart was heeded, the evidence gets muffled here by everything else. Following the original Australian run in 1997, playwright Martin Sherman was enlisted to rework Nick Enright's book for Broadway. His script excised remote Australianisms deemed impenetrable to American auds, but patched together a cliched account of Allen's life, jumping from one episode to the next without much flow or dramatic momentum. Returning to a modified version of Enright's book, the story seems only slightly less perfunctory. It recaps Allen's rise from a sassy kid performing in a regional pub (one of four actors alternating in the role, Shardyn Fahey-Leigh was a delightful unbridled dynamo on opening night) to a showman commanding the stage at Radio City Music Hall. There are detours into his friendship with Garland, his marriage to Liza Minnelli and his relationship with Texas boyfriend Greg Connell, whose death from AIDS preceded Allen's own by several years. We get the disarming chutzpah and mischievous humor, thanks in large part to Jackman's tireless energy and generosity as a performer. But beyond the drive to show auds a good time, there's only a superficial sense of what made the man tick. Given the demands of playing such massive houses, the choice of director Kenny Ortega seems dictated primarily by his experience staging lavish concert tours and U.S. Olympic ceremonies. He fails to smooth over the show's more awkward segues (the lurch from the gentle nostalgia of "Tenterfield Saddler" to the drag-show excess of "I Go to Rio" is especially clumsy), but Ortega puts an assured stamp on some big production numbers. Most notable among these is "I Still Call Australia Home," which despite its placement mid-way through act two, is the musical's de facto finale. Allen's stirring popular alternative to the national anthem is performed with 100 members of the Australian Girls Choir stationed around the auditorium and a giant Australian flag unfurled over the audience. Also effective is "Everything Old Is New Again," conjuring Allen's Radio City triumph with far more razzle-dazzle than the underpopulated number on Broadway. The new production also improves on more intimate moments. As played by sweet-voiced Murray Bartlett, Connell's post-death appearance singing "I Honestly Love You," which seemed mawkishly saccharine in New York, is now quite touching. Likewise Allen's eulogy for Garland, "Quiet Please There's a Lady On Stage." While some of Ortega and co-choreographer Kelley Abbey's kitschier extravagances are fun (the disco-era decadence of "Don't Wish Too Hard"), they tend to clutter the stage with frenetic but often shapeless movement, as in the messy comic number "Only an Older Woman," with Allen and Garland in tramp costumes. Returning to the role she originated, Oz-rock icon Chrissy Amphlett of the Divinyls at first seems bizarrely off-kilter as Garland, but she etches a vivid character out of a caricature. Her shaky footing and wobbly delivery are entirely appropriate to a woman who entered Allen's life after "three breakdowns, four husbands and five overdoses." One of the best additions here is "Taught by Experts," in which Judy's ghost wryly coaxes Allen through his songwriting pains. It's no doubt tougher to portray a living legend than a dead one, and with her gushy mannerisms, Angela Toohey's Liza never quite escapes impersonation, albeit an accurate one vocally and physically. She's saddled also with some weak numbers, notably "Sure Thing Baby," which is an odd fit for the flashy Fosse-styled treatment. Like many of the truncated songs conceived not for this context, Toohey's few bars of "Best That You Can Do" seem tossed in merely as part of a greatest-hits checklist. As Allen's unpretentious, country-town mum, '70s pop diva Colleen Hewett creates a lovely, real character, all but stealing the show with her heartfelt take on "Don't Cry Out Loud." The most powerful element onstage, capable of hitting the back rows of even a vast barn like the Sydney Entertainment Center, is Jackman. The show unfolds like a guided Allen retrospective from beyond the grave, allowing for mentions ranging from Nicole Kidman's recent wedding to Mel Gibson's DUI disgrace to self-referential nods to Australians in Hollywood. Those contemporary comments contribute to bounce the focus back and forth between subject and star. While Jackman is clearly playing a part, mincing and cavorting and flirting up a storm, there are equal parts of his own persona at play with Allen's. The strong sense of an international star acknowledging his roots, eager to give something back to the country he came from will ensure this show an enthusiastic welcome across Australia. And if Jackman chooses, as has been speculated, to take the show back to New York and retrace Allen's steps to Radio City, who's to stop him?

Can Marcus Samuelsson Please Get Some Media Coverage?!
The 'Post' says event planners for a Hamptons fund-raiser have been "blackballed." Oh, but the 'Post' is also an event sponsor.
According to the Post, the Marcus Samuelsson–hosted Hamptons gala fund-raiser Dan's Taste of Two Forks has been "blackballed" by the local media. But can't everyone just grow up and come drink bubbly in rental flutes and eat tasting portions of fluke crudo? So where's the media love? Well, the event, to be held this Saturday in Bridgehampton, is named for Dan Rattiner, the founder, editor and publisher of Dan's Papers, the long-running local newspaper that recently sold to publisher Manhattan Media. The Post tells us, via "Page Six": "Sources close to the event say rival magazines and newspapers won't give the food fest an inch of coverage because they regard Manhattan Media as a competitor." Oh boo-hoo. Of course, the Post, in reporting this story, is covering the event. But in doing so, the tabloid fails to mention that it's also a "media sponsor" of the event.

World Water Day—everydayAt Starbucks earlier this week I saw the a bin of water bottles banded with blue labels, "World Water Day." Then a release from Lutheran World Relief popped up on my e-mail, with the sober statistic that "more than 1.1 billion people worldwide are without access to safe drinking water—a figure that will likely grow to 3.3 billion by 2025."
That's hard to imagine for Chicagoans like me who live on the shore of Lake Michigan. Water, fresh water from "our" lake is literally a huge part of our lives. My morning walk takes me along the lake. We swim in it. We sail on it. We fish from it. We wash our cars. We take long showers. We water our lawns. We drink it.
The LWR report continues: "In many places, entire villages rely on a single well for water for drinking, cooking, personal hygiene, watering livestock. ... Women wake up as early as 1 a.m. to start drawing water so they can collect enough for their daily needs. Water access in some areas is so difficult that young girls are forced to abandon school to help their mothers..."
I've been in a village like that, three years ago in Malawi. And I reported about the difference it makes when this village got a water pump, with materials and expertise provided by Lutheran development staff but the labor by the villagers themselves. It not only lessens the women's toil but clean water cuts down on much sickness.
World Water Day—March 22 each year—grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. Just last month the World Council of Churches urged members and ecumenical partners "to work together to preserve and protect water resources against over-consumption and pollution" and issued a statement that defined water as an "integral part of the right to life." But one denied to many.
So the observance is "over" for this year. But can we let that be? Shouldn't every day be a water day for our thirsty world?

February 26, 2009 | The Hindu Business Line
Tata Capital NCD subscribed six times
Excerpts from the report.
Mumbai: Tata Capital's non-convertible debenture programme was oversubscribed six times. This is the first large NCD issue in several years. The last was by Reliance Industries, which raised Rs1,000 crore through this instrument in 2003.
The Tata Capital issue had opened on February 2 and closed on February 24. The NCD will be listed on the NSE. The company will be retaining the subscription of Rs1,500 crore.
"Based on the good response to this NCD, we feel that such bonds will become an instrument of choice for investors and other corporates," said Praveen Kadle, managing director, Tata Capital.
Marketmen, though, said that not just any NCD issue would receive such response. "Investors feel safe with the brand name of Tata, which is one of the reasons why this issue has received such a good response. Any good quality company with a good name among investors will fetch a good response," said Sidharth Punshi, managing director and country head at Jefferies India Private Ltd.
The NCDs also offered higher returns than most other asset classes currently. "When the index falls and people lose faith in equity-linked instruments, investors turn to debt instruments. The Tata Capital NCD offers a high rate of return to the investors when compared to instruments such as fixed deposits, equities, etc," said B Madhuprasad, vice-chairman, Keynote Corporate Services.
The rate of return of the Tata Capital NCD is between 11 per cent and 12 per cent annually under four options. Many people have burnt their fingers in the stock markets as they crashed close to 60 per cent in the last one year. Fixed deposits have a rate of return – between eight per cent and 8.5 per cent – and liquid funds give average returns of close to five per cent, said analysts.
"Debentures seem like a safer bet when compared to the other options at the moment," said Mr Punshi.
Issue Deployment: "The issue proceeds are proposed to be used for the company's various financing activities including lending and investments, business operations including its capital expenditure and working capital requirements and to repay existing loans," said Mr Kadle.
Demat Accounts: The number of demat accounts in the country rose by 76,000 (0.5 per cent) between December 31 and February 15. This could partly be on account of the Tata NCD issue, as the instruments are going to be listed on the NSE. The number of demat accounts on NSDL increased to 55.1 lakh accounts in February 15 from 54.84 lakh on December 31, and on CDSL it increased to 96.5 lakh from 96 lakh.

Cory Monteith Death: One Year Later, Glee Stars Tweet Remembrances (UPDATE)
Where were you? Do you remember? One year ago today — on July 13, 2013 — Glee star Cory Monteith (Finn) died in a Vancouver hotel room from a toxic mix of heroin and alcohol. He was 31.
You must recall how you took the news. Disbelief. Shock. Maybe some anger and frustration at the evil power of addiction. But just waves and waves of sadness. Fans still aren't over Cory's death, and his co-stars and friends are still mourning him as well. Jane Lynch (Sue) recently spoke to Australia's Daily Telegraph about the year after Cory's death, and Cory's estranged father talked about still having an empty feeling inside.
On Sunday, July 13, 2014, many Glee stars tweeted their remembrances, and here's a look at some of the thoughts they posted:
Miss you pic.twitter.com/e89rS8lENB— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) July 13, 2014

Academic life is core to the Hurst education. We encourage our pupils to be ambitious and independent, as they discover what they can achieve.
Outstanding and enthusiastic staff ensure that Hurst's 5 day academic week provides the right environment to challenge and support every pupil's learning and personal development.
Regular challenge grade reviews and coaching by teachers and tutors enable our pupils to realise their academic potential and thereby achieve the best results of which they are capable. Regular and timely communication between home and school allows achievements to be celebrated and strategies for learning developed. At Hurst, we know that this close partnership between school, parents and pupil is vital to success.
Progressively throughout these years, as pupils develop and mature, they assume a greater responsibility for their own learning and take the initiative in pushing back the boundaries of their achievements and ambitions.
At whatever stage a pupil joins Hurst, we seek to ensure that they learn how to learn as well as develop a love of learning. As a result, when they graduate to the Sixth Form, they are exceedingly well equipped to meet the challenges of their A-level years.
Every pupil's academic progress is monitored via the Challenge Grade process.
At the beginning of each academic year your son or daughter will be set a Challenge Grade in each subject. These grades, set by heads of departments, will be ambitious and - with hard work - achievable. They are based on the detailed academic information we have about your child gleaned from tools such as. MidYIS, verbal reasoning scores, non-verbal reasoning, common entrance scores and other tests.
Subsequently, each pupil's work is assessed by the teaching staff every three to four weeks.
You will find the link to an extract from a 5th Former's Challenge Grade review below. The Challenge Grade for each subject is the grade that, with hard work, the pupil is expected to reach in his GCSE exam whilst the mark indicates the standard to which he is currently working.
+1 represents achievement beyond expectation;
a green tick indicates that they are on track to achieve their projected challenge grade
-1, or -2 indicates that more work is required to achieve the projected grade
These scores. accompanied by comments from each subject teacher, are supplemented by an assessment of progress to date from your child's tutor.
Every child is assigned a tutor with whom he or she will meet each week to discuss academic progress. The tutor will also check prep diaries and ensure each pupil child is keeping up with their work.
A pupil's tutor is a parent's first point of contact about any academic matters and their names and e-mail addresses are provided to each parent when their son or daughter joins the school.
Pupils receive one full report per year and those children who sit formal, internal examinations at the end of the academic year (years 9 and 10) will also receive statements of results.
Parents are also invited to attend a Parents' Evening once a year to discuss their child's work and progress and also a Parents' and Tutors' meeting which informs parents of issues relevant to their child's year group.
If a parent has concerns about their child's academic progress and, having spoken to the tutor or teacher, feels that there has not been sufficient improvement, they should not hesitate to contact me, Richard Taylor-West, directly.
The School operates a two week timetable. This means that the lessons scheduled for every pupil will be different in week A to week B.
The two week timetable allows the School to maximise the use of academic time, structure more time for extra-curricular activities, especially for the younger age groups and create a better rhythm to the working week.
Academic lessons take place in the first four to six hours of the day whilst sport and activities take place in the afternoons.

The Pavilion Downtown Dubai
- Admission:
- US$ 120 - 42.195km, US$ 60 - 10km, US$ 15 - 3km
The Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon and Dubai Half Marathon have been held in the city since the year 2000 under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. It is one of the first sporting events on the city's calendar, occurring at the end of January, taking advantage of the cooler winter temperatures.
In 2011 the male winner, Kenyan David Baramasai, completed the marathon in just two hours and seven minutes while the female winner, Ethiopian Asselefech Medessa, completed the race in two hours and 22 minutes.
The total prize money for the marathon is US$ 1 million with both male and female first place winners receiving US$ 250,000 each – making it the largest prize for distance running in the world. There is also a US$ 1 million prize for anyone who beats a world record, but so far this has been left unclaimed.
The winner of the shorter 10km road race wins AED 4,000 and there is also a three kilometer fun run for residents to enter. In 2011 the three races attracted 14,000 participants from around the globe, including a huge number of international professional athletes. The Dubai Marathon has become bigger and better each year, attracting many local and global sponsors.
The race is a major attraction and many people gather to watch and support the runners as many of the 10km and 3km participants run to raise money for local and international charities.
Starting times:
Marathon: 7am
10km: 7.15am
3km: 10.30am

GREENSBORO — A recent Red Cross survey found that eight out of ten Americans are planning water activities such as going to the beach, pool, waterpark, or boating or fishing this summer. A third of all Americans plan to swim at a place without a lifeguard.
The Red Cross wants everyone to have fun this summer and stay safe while enjoying the water.
* Learn to swim and only swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards.
* Always swim with a buddy; do not allow anyone to swim alone.
* Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets around water.
* Provide close and constant attention to children and inexperienced swimmers being supervised in or near the water.
* Limit the amount of direct sunlight received between 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and wear sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 15. Reapply often.
* Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water regularly. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine.
* For a backyard pool, have appropriate equipment, such as reaching or throwing equipment, a cell phone, life jackets and a first aid kit.
* Secure the backyard pool with appropriate barriers including four-sided fencing.
* Know how and when to call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number.
* Never leave a young child unattended near water. Teach children to always ask permission to go near water.
Home Pool Essentials: The Red Cross and National Swimming Pool Foundation have developed an online safety course for pool and hot tub owners (HomePoolEssentials.org) to help people understand the risks of pool ownership, how to maintain a safer and cleaner pool, what safety equipment is appropriate, how to prevent pool and hot tub entrapment hazards and how to respond to an emergency.

What Does It Take To Be Gifted?Sierra Black
New York City is on the hunt for a new test to identify gifted students in its million-student school district. To find one, they need to better understand what makes a student "gifted" in the first place.
The city currently tests kids as young as four for placement in the district's gifted programs, using a set of standardized tests.
Right now, the city's gifted programs are 44% white students, as opposed to 15% white students in the district as a whole. That's a big discrepancy, and one the district has been trying to correct by introducing stricter and more uniform controls on who gets into gifted programs.
The current testing system is flawed, critics argue, because kids can be coached to excel at the tests. This biases the exams towards children with involved, academically oriented parents, who tend to be more affluent, and more white, than the general population.
The district initially paired the testing with reports from teachers about students performance on a variety of academic and social metrics. But the reports were expensive and flawed. Teachers tended to turn them in late, the data was irregular and the city canned that aspect in favor of a second standardized test.
Now they're searching for a new test to help correct their diversity problem and put the really gifted kids in the gifted programs. But there's no magic bullet: child development experts say a test can only tell you so much, and that to really identify a child's strengths and weaknesses, you need a professional to sit down and examine the kid personally.
There's no way the district can afford that kind of resource, so they're sticking with testing for the time being.
They move the tests even younger, too. The new exam they're looking at could be administered to children as young as three years old.

Rovers 3rds and Seaton 2nds finished with honours even after a hard fought 29-29 draw. I am still trying to figure out if that was a point dropped, one saved or a fair reflection of a tight game.
It was a lovely autumnal day when Rovers kicked off at Hornby Park with only a strong cross field wind to trouble the players and the threat of Kenny Braham sneaking up behind to worry spectators. Rovers took the lead when Paul Arnell crashed over and then converted his own try. 7-0 to Rovers. After 15 minutes a kick ahead from Arnell was well chased by Luke Wallis and Dash Hogg and it was Hogg who got to the ball to go over for what I think is his first try for the club. Dickie Flounders got the conversion to make it 14-0. Even better was to come when after a series of strong forward drives 'Granville' Bradley went over in the corner. Dickie could not convert but half way through the first half Rovers were 19-0 ahead despite kicking up the bank. Instead of taking more control of the game though Rovers allowed Seaton to get back into it. A combination of Rovers easing up and some profitable substitutions saw Seaton score 3 tries before half time with one converted (and one hitting the post) to have a half time score of Seaton 17 – 19 Rovers.
The stern words at half time were duly forgotten when we kicked off as it was Seaton who scored an unconverted try after 2 minutes of the second half to lead for the first time in the game 22-19. Rovers responded well though and after some good passages of play and a particularly strong drive by Granville Marc Burnside went over. The conversion was narrowly missed but Rovers had regained the lead 24-22. Both sides then had further opportunities to score and it was Seaton who eventually took one to score a try. The conversion meant Seaton were ahead 29-24 and Rovers needed to score a try to come out of the game with anything. A long kick ahead by Granville was knocked on by the home full back near the posts which set up a period of intense pressure on the home line. Ben Gibson and Granville were actually over the line and had grounded the ball cleanly near the posts but on both occasions the ref was not on the right side of play to see this. The pressure finally told when Ste Clayton went over but this was further out and the difficult kick was missed to leave a final score of 29-29.
Many thanks to Neil for turning out for us when Gerry McMullen had to come off and we had no more subs. That was one of the main differences in the game. We had appreciably fewer options when players were injured and had to have too many people play out of position. We are also letting teams into the game too much by not keeping up pressure and concentration levels.
Man of the match was Granville for his whole hearted effort all game.
Finally best wishes from all at Rovers for a speedy recovery to the Seaton lad for whom the air ambulance was called, though I understand it was not required in the end. It would be good if someone could let us know how he got on.

The Butler volleyball team enters the season's final regular-season weekend enjoying one of its finest seasons this decade. The Dogs are a game out of 2nd place and will try to catch Valparaiso and Cleveland State with two matches in Wisconsin, taking on Green Bay Friday, Nov. 13 at 8 p.m. BU's contest at Milwaukee is set for 5 p.m. on Saturday
Butler (21-11, 10-4 HL), which has won four straight and six of seven, has already swept both Wisconsin teams this season, defeating them Oct. 6-7 at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Friday's opponent, Green Bay, is currently 7th in the HL standings and one game out of 6th place. The top six teams advance to the league tournament, which will be hosted by the regular season champion.
Milwaukee is perhaps the league's hottest team, having won six matches in a row, including a 3-1 win last weekend against HL leader Cleveland State.
The Bulldogs defeated Loyola and UIC, respectively, last weekend in the final home weekend of the season. Butler showed perseverance in both victories, holding on for a pair of 3-2 wins. BU finished 2009 with a perfect home record, posting a 9-0 mark at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
Junior Jessica Wolfe, the Horizon League's leader in kills and points, is coming off a stellar 28-kill, 35-dig weekend in Butler's victories last season. Senior Porshia Allen had 20 kills and 19 digs against Loyola. BU also had strong defensive totals last weekend, recording 23.5 total team blocks.
DOGS HIT ON 21: Butler is having one of its best seasons in years, winning more than 20 matches for the 1st time since 1997. 2009 is Sharon Clark's best at BU; her 2003 team went 20-12.
...AND GOT ALL 9 AT HOME: The Bulldogs finished a perfect 9-0 at home, including an 8-0 mark against Horizon League opponents. The Dogs won 27 sets in Hinkle this season while losing just nine.
WOLFE THE TOP DOG IN HL: Outside hitter Jessica Wolfe continues to lead the Horizon League in kills per set (3.98) and points per set (4.61). She also ranks 3rd in aces (0.32). If she can maintain her 3.98 kills rate, it would be the xxx best season of hitting in school history. Wolfe was named all-tournament in three of Butler's four tourneys, and was named Horizon League Offensive Player of the Week on September 7.
BUTLER IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS: BU is ranked among the national leaders in three categories. The Dogs are 39th in kills (13.73), 46th in digs (16.38) and 50th in assists (12.61).
COACHING MILESTONES FOR CLARK: Butler's 3-0 win over Alabama A&M on Homecoming was career victory No. 250 for Sharon Clark. The Bulldogs' head coach, in her 10th season at Butler, also reached 150 wins for her career at BU against Green Bay. The school record for wins at Butler is 169 by Sharon Dingman (1992-99).
DAPRILE KEEPS DIGGING: Junior Katie Daprile ranks 5th in the Horizon league in digs (4.41) and is 3rd in the HL in conference play (4.85). The Bargersville, Ind., native was named Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 19 after picking up 27 digs in a 3-0 win over Youngstown State. She has reached 15+ digs 16 times this season.
DIGGING OUT RECORDS: Katie Daprile put together the finest defensive season in Butler volleyball history in 2008. Her 541 digs during the year shattered BU's single-season record of 522, set by Laura Baire in 1993, while her 4.62 digs per game ranks as the 2nd best season rate behind only Megan Knightly (5.29) in 2005.
VERA SETTING IT UP: The setter on the other end of Butler's attack success is freshman Gina Vera. The Joliet, Ill., native ranks 2nd in the Horizon League with 10.69 assists per set, and she has been in the national rankings every week until this week. Vera was named all-tournament at IPFW and Kent State.
ALLEN CLIMBING ATTACKS, KILLS CHARTS: Senior Porshia Allen continues to amass impressive career totals. Allen has 4,126 career attacks, good for 6th on Butler's all-time list. She is also 5th in school history with 1,445 kills, 153 swats behind Kali Carter (2001-04).
UP NEXT: Butler's two matches in Wisconsin conclude the regular season. The Bulldogs will be one of the top four seeds in the Horizon League Volleyball Championship (Nov. 20-22). Five spots have been claimed, with Youngstown State and Green Bay battling for the No. 6 seed.

School districts around the state are taking steps to make older model school buses safer for your children to ride on.
Pollution control devices, which replace the existing muffler, are being fitted on close to 400 school buses in some 200 districts. Just last year, Okemos Public Schools fitted 70 buses with the pollution control device. This year marks the second year they have applied for and received the federal grant which pays for the kits.
The device is a diesel oxidation catalyst, and it's supposed to decrease carbon monoxide and other pollutants by as much as half. The device uses a chemical process to break down pollutants in the exhaust into less harmful components.

The former El Chorro Lodge reopens Tuesday, Sept. 6, with a new name, hours, menu items, event venues and a partly paved parking lot.
A longtime restaurant, housed in a 1930s historic building that once served as a school for girls and a lodge, now is called El Chorro.
Operating partners Jacquie Dorrance and Kristy and Tim Moore want "to focus more on the dining experience," restaurant spokeswoman Gina Canzonetta said.
Last year, El Chorro Lodge reopened after a nine-month makeover. The results scored the restaurant the gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for its use of renewable energies. It's known for traditional Southwest dishes made with fresh local ingredients and an expanded patio that offers spectacular views of Camelback and Mummy mountains.
Now, El Chorro will offer happy hour, dinner and Sunday brunch, Canzonetta said, no longer offering lunch during the week.
The new happy-hour menu offers such items as Parmesan-crusted potato puffs ($5) served with truffle-ranch dipping sauce, and a buffalo burger ($8), which also can be made with an Angus-beef or veggie patty.
New on the dinner menu are entree salads, including a salmon salad ($18) made with fingerling potatoes, haricot vert and El Chorro garden cherry tomatoes tossed in sherry vinaigrette. Also new is prosciutto-wrapped pork tenderloin ($26) with green-chile risotto and carrot pasta.
"El Chorro's goal is to always provide fresh and innovative dishes that honor both of our guests' requests and the El Chorro heritage," Kristy Moore said.
Customers are likely to notice when they park their car, one-third of the 340-space parking lot now is paved with eco-friendly exposed aggregate concrete to blend in with the desert landscape.
In addition, three new venues were created to accommodate medium to large events, such as meetings and weddings.
What's next? The partners are considering upgrading the restaurant's kitchen, Canzonetta said.
Details: Happy hour 4 to 7 p.m., dinner 5 to 10 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday, Sunday brunch 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 5550 E. Lincoln Drive, Paradise Valley. 480-948-5170, elchorro.com.

Re: Cabbage indoors.
I can't comment on the tea and eggs but cabbage is a cold weather crop and will do best outdoors.

Paul Barham, Austin Donnelly, Rebecca Isaacs, and Richard Mortier
December 2004
Tools to understand complex system behaviour are essential for many performance analysis and debugging tasks, yet there are many open research problems in their development. Magpie is a toolchain for automatically extracting a system's workload under realistic operating conditions. Using low-overhead instrumentation, we monitor the system to record fine-grained events generated by kernel, middleware and application components. The Magpie request extraction tool uses an application-specific event schema to correlate these events, and hence precisely capture the control flow and resource consumption of each and every request. By removing scheduling artefacts, whilst preserving causal dependencies, we obtain canonical request descriptions from which we can construct concise workload models suitable for performance prediction and change detection. In this paper we describe and evaluate the capability of Magpie to accurately extract requests and construct representative models of system behaviour.

As you've probably noticed, unless you just this minute slipped out of a coma (and if that's the case, stop reading this and go call your loved ones), it's election day. Four years on from the election of the first African-American commander-in-chief, President Barack Obama is squaring off at the ballot box against the Republican challenger, Mitt Romney in what looks likely to be the tightest election since... well, 2004, probably.
Needless to say, if you haven't cast your vote, stop reading this go vote, and then come back -- it's just about the most important thing you'll do this calendar year. But if you've already done your civic duty and you're looking to take your mind off desperately checking FiveThirtyEight and exit polls every five minutes, we've pulled together a list of five of our favorite election-themed movies. Check them out below, and let us know your own favorites in the comments section.
Who is Bob Roberts? It's a testament to Tim Robbins' directorial debut, a film that people still discuss today, that everyone has a different answer. Robbins plays Roberts, a "self-made" political candidate, running against Democrat rival Gore Vidal, who develops a strong grassroots connection to "the people" by espousing anti-government, anti-liberal sentiment. Yep, Robbins saw the Tea Party coming a mile away. Sure the picture may take on a more insidious feel in 201, but that ignores the ingratiating charm of Robbins' Roberts, who sneers with a smile and smiles with a sneer as he strums his guitar and sings ditties about the lower class being lazy and full of complaints. "Bob Roberts" keeps the truth at bay with the structure of a mock-documentary focusing on Roberts' campaign, and aside from all the famous faces that appear the illusion seems pretty airtight, with an uncomfortable ambiguity to the director's lens that avoids, ahem, "gotcha" moments until the very last, disturbing gag. It's "The Manchurian Candidate" as directed by Christopher Guest, at once wildly funny and incredibly plausible, with Robbins receiving great support from Giancarlo Esposito as an intrepid liberal reporter, Alan Rickman as a sleazy campaign manager, and loads of cameos that memorably include John Cusack as a fringe comedian who backs out of his own sketch comedy show when Roberts guest stars. Wildly funny and creepy in all the right ways.
Forget the Sundance Kid and Bob Woodward, Robert Redford's turn as would-be Senator Bill McKay is possibly his greatest role. It's certainly his least narcissistic and most spiritually ugly turn -- as the son of a popular former governor, McKay is gradually unraveled and exposed to be as cosmetic as his dashing side-burns, a fate only compounded by winning the damn election. Whatever timid political convictions the character is depicted as possessing are steamrolled in favor of refashioning the man into a photogenic tabula rasa, a bespoke "man of the people" grown like Ellen Ripley in a lab (a potential voter simply remarks, "Handsome is as handsome does") who's able to coast right into public office on a roster of meaningless platitudes. Not so much worn down by the political machine as ground by it into a fine patty, "The Candidate" is ostensibly a comedy from the man who would go on to direct "Fletch," with Michael Ritchie's handheld deadpan style sly, impressive and vaguely horrifying, especially with Peter Boyle hovering over McKay as a scruple-free campaign manager. The indignities depicted in the film (gross self-censorship, vile manipulation of advertisements that encourage voters to choose a candidate "the way they choose a detergent") are of course laughably meek by the standards of the dubious chicanery that abounds in political campaigns today, but McKay's ticket, run on the promise of restoring "hope and faith in government," has obvious timeless implications beyond its early 1970s setting. Its famous last line (the clueless inquiry: "What do we do now?") is a touch didactic and McKay's descent is perhaps now an overly familiar one, but when his father eventually slaps his tousle-haired sprog on the shoulder and chuckles, "Son, you're a politician!" the remark rattles through the rest of the film like a death sentence.

Health warning issued as smog pollution hits record levels in West Midlands
Record levels of air pollution continue to plague the nation - leaving the skyline of the West Midlands choked by a thick layer of smog.
These images show the scene over Wolverhampton and Birmingham, with the West Midlands cited as one of the areas expected to be worst hit.
A perfect storm of dust from the Sahara, emissions from the continent, low south-easterly winds and domestic pollution has caused air quality to plummet and the smog-like conditions are not expected to clear until tomorrow. And the high levels of air pollution have sparked a health warning.
One university expert in the Black Country today said a good bout of April showers could be the key to dispelling the large plumes of dust.
University of Wolverhampton pollution science expert Dr Clive Roberts said strong wind would also help to clear the problem.
It comes after large parts of the country were warned to be aware of air pollution levels, which were reaching 10 out of 10 on the official scale in some places.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) ranks air pollution from one to 10, with one being the lowest and 10 the highest.
Those suffering from health problems such as asthma and heart conditions were warned to limit their time outdoors. But Dr Roberts says the problems could linger until rain comes to disperse it.
"Because some of the particles are so small, they don't settle back to earth and remain airborne causing the problems we are experiencing and the red dust that people are seeing on their cars," he said.
"Some rain will wash the particles and pollutants out of the atmosphere and get everything back to normal. Until then, it could linger."
Westerly winds from across the Atlantic could also help ease the problem, he added. Defra put out a warning across the country yesterday, as many woke to find a cloud of smog in the skies and a layer of red dust over cars and homes.
This was reported in some parts of Staffordshire, as well as in Bewdley.
And this morning pollution levels have already reached level 9 (high) in the South East, Greater London and Eastern England, Defra reported on its website.
Very high levels of pollution are also forecast later today for the East Midlands.
Those with lung and heart conditions have been told to avoid strenuous activity outdoors while people suffering symptoms of pollution – including sore eyes, coughs and sore throats – should cut down the amount they do outside, health experts said.
Asthmatics have been warned of the need to use their blue reliever inhalers more often as they could be prone to attacks over the next few days.
Some schools in London have banned pupils from outdoor playgrounds to reduce their exposure to the fog. The decision was supported by Professor Frank Kelly, professor of environmental health at King's College London and a member of the Department of Health's Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollution, who said it would help reduce long-term harm to children.
"As a general response this is a good approach as children tend to run around outside and therefore breathe deeper," he said.
"Thus, on days like this they will be aspiring a lot more pollution if outdoors than when they are breathing normally (hopefully) inside."
Prof Kelly added: "Whether home-produced or arriving from the continent, the tiny particles we take into our bodies with each breath cause immediate problems for some individuals such as those with asthma and contribute to longer term problems for most of us in the form of heart disease and stroke.
"For those who are sensitive to air pollution, it's important they are provided with accurate forecasts of when air quality will deteriorate so they can plan their activities to reduce exposure, perhaps by taking different routes to work or school or avoiding strenuous exercise on those days.Subscribe to our Newsletter

Why don't they drop the toll on the toll road and get vehicles moving. A major contribution will be diesel trucks sitting idle on the M6.
The same should go for the Dartford crossing in London where a traffic jam is needlessly created to pay a toll for a bridge that has already been paid for.
This is but a taste of what many people have to endure on a daily basis, here in the West Midlands. I'm talking about factories belching out obnoxious fumes. One such behemoth was Triplex/Sigmacast, in Tipton, whose legacy was so foul it could be seen from Google maps. This very periodical seemed to cover the issue in great detail, in order to raise awareness and report upon subsequent prosecutions (which ran into the 100's of £1000's. Thankfully the polluter has left for Eastern shores apparently, but not without significant legal wrangling. So yes, this is a dust storm, but it is temporary; what remains in Sandwell is a real, significant health issue surrounding industrial air pollution. Sandwell was polluted long before the Sahara kicked up a sand storm, and no doubt will remain this way for a long time until legislative powers are such that people no longer have to suffer at the hands of others who still to this day flaunt the law.
The smog over netherton where I work is absolutely terrible and as been all day. It almost looks like fog from the office window.

BOSTON – Representative James O'Day (D- West Boylston) joined his colleagues in the Massachusetts legislature to pass the budget for the 2016 Fiscal Year (FY16). The Conference Committee budget contains $38.1 billion in expenditures and includes important spending and policy initiatives that were in the House and Senate budgets. Representative O'Day played a vital role in securing funding for critical local and statewide programs.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my new and improved website! I am appreciative for your interest in the work I do on a daily basis to advocate for and represent the 14th Worcester District. Since being elected in a special election in 2007, I have taken pride in standing up for working families and vulnerable populations in the Commonwealth.
In my former career as a social worker for over 24 years, I came to understand the various pitfalls and challenges working families and individuals face across Massachusetts. It was that rewarding work in my career as a social worker that provided the motivation to put my neck out there and run for State Representative, in the hopes that I could actually make a difference. I am humbled and grateful that the people of the 14th Worcester District have believed in me enough to re-elect me four times since 2007. Born and raised in Worcester, I do this work and continue to run for this office because of my love for the Central MA region, the City of Worcester and the Town of West Boylston, in particular.

Vietnam War Veteran Fred Herrod understands first-hand the difficulties for troops returning home from active duty.
He struggled at first until he asked for help.
"I was in a not very good environment in civilian life and rather than actually going out and taking matters into my own hands, I went to VA and wound up in front of a doctor," said Herrod.
A report out this week from the Pentagon says that in 2012, 239 military deaths have been confirmed suicides and another 110 are being investigated as such.
Vietnam veteran Joe West says he hopes the number of suicides from the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq don't mirror those of Vietnam.
"It's always going to be an issue when you send troops into combat," said West. "it's just somethings that they can't get resolved. We make a real effort now to reach out to those troops."
The 349 cases of suicide last year is the highest number since the Department of Defense began keeping track in 2001.

The Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) with Critical Apparatus contains both the main text of the BHS as well as the critical apparatus.
The BHS is the most widely used scholarly text of the Hebrew Bible. This text was originally edited by Karl Elliger and Wilhelm Rudolph in cooperation with numerous other scholars, and the revised 5th edition from 1997 was prepared by Adrian Schenker. It is based on the St. Petersburg Public Library manuscript B19a (the so-called Leningrad Codex).
While the main text of the BHS follows the Leningrad Codex almost exactly, the Critical Apparatus provides readings from a variety of other sources including the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the Targums, among others.
Our electronic edition of this text uses the beautiful Ezra SIL font, which is based on the font used in the printed edition of the BHS. The Bible Study App also supports a unique method of displaying the Hebrew fonts without having to install them.
Please Note: This edition of the BHS contains only the text of the BHS and the apparatus. It is also available in packages that contain just the text, or the text, apparatus.

2. Admission
A comprehensive college education depends on a robust exchange of ideas, exposure to differing cultures, preparing for the challenges of an increasingly diverse workforce, and acquiring competencies required of future leaders. The University handles a very large number of applications and must select from among this highly qualified pool only the number of students it can accommodate. In addition to an assessment of the academic strength of an applicant's record, admission decisions result from an individualized, holistic review of each applicant, taking into consideration the many ways the academically qualified individual might contribute to, and benefit from, the rich, diverse, and challenging educational environment of the University.
The procedures and criteria for admission given in this chapter are effective as of the date of publication but are subject to change by action of the Texas Legislature or the Board of Regents.
Undergraduate Admission
The Office of Admissions is responsible for the admission and readmission of undergraduate students to the University. Application procedures for freshman, transfer, former, and international students are outlined below. Further inquiry may be addressed to The University of Texas at Austin, Office of Admissions, P O Box 8058, Austin TX 78713-8058. In compliance with the Federal Student Right-to-Know Act, information about graduation rates and crime statistics are available from the Office of Admissions.
Prospective students are encouraged to apply early for the enrollment period in which they are interested. Enrollment pressures at the University are such that it may be necessary to admit a limited number of applicants from among those who are qualified. When there are more qualified applicants than can be adequately instructed by the faculty or accommodated in the facilities, the University may control enrollment in specific programs by limiting the admission of new students. Information about additional admission requirements for some undergraduate programs is given later in this chapter.
Freshman applicants are encouraged to use the resources of the Freshman Admissions Center, located in John W. Hargis Hall at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Red River Street. Freshman admission counselors provide detailed information about admission to the University and assist prospective students with the application process. Students may also communicate with admission counselors through Be a Longhorn. The site offers a counselor finder, event registration, access to personal information like application status and admission decisions, and details about admission, academics, financial aid, housing, and more.
Application deadlines. All application materials must be received in the Office of Admissions by the following deadlines. When space is available, deadlines may be extended.
Application processing fee. A nonrefundable fee of $50 is required of applicants for undergraduate admission to the University. An applicant who presents academic credentials from any country other than the United States when applying for admission must submit a nonrefundable fee of $75. In cases where the applicant is subject to two fees simultaneously, only the higher fee is required.
To request an exemption from the application processing fee, an applicant must submit a copy of one of the following:
Enrollment deposit. Applicants admitted to the University as undergraduates must pay a nonrefundable enrollment deposit of $200 to indicate that they accept the offer of admission. The deposit is applied to the payment of fees when the student enrolls. Students who demonstrate financial need may qualify for assistance to cover the amount of the deposit.
Freshman Admission
Texas high school graduates ranked in the top 10 percent of their class. In accordance with Texas Education Code 51.803, students are admissible to the University as first-time freshmen if they (1) graduated in the top 10 percent of their class from an accredited Texas high school and (2) submit all required credentials by the appropriate deadline. Applicants must have graduated from high school during one of the two school years preceding the academic year for which they seek admission. Applicants who are admitted because they are in the top 10 percent of their high school class may be required to complete additional preparatory work during the summer immediately after being admitted to the University; they may also be required to remove any deficiencies in units of high school coursework before graduating from the University.
Texas high school graduates not ranked in the top 10 percent of their class and all graduates of out-of-state high schools. Applicants who are not eligible for consideration under the provisions of Texas Education Code 51.803 must have graduated from an accredited high school and must have completed the unit requirements prescribed in the section High School Preparation. Applications received by the deadline are evaluated individually.
Admission decisions are based on an assessment of the following:
No specific class rank, test score, or other qualification by itself ensures admission, except as described in the first paragraph of the section "Freshman Admission." As a state-assisted institution, the University reserves a majority of its space for Texas residents. Consequently, the admission of nonresidents is highly competitive.
Enrollment pressures at the University may not permit admission of all who qualify for certain academic programs. When this occurs, the Office of Admissions will, within applicable law, admit those students who are judged to be most able to contribute to and benefit from the University's rich, diverse, and academically challenging environment. Additional admission requirements for some undergraduate programs are described later in this chapter.
Recipients of bona fide scholarships designated by the president are admitted on a regular basis.
Coordinated Admission Program
A Texas resident who graduates from an accredited high school with the required units listed in the section "High School Preparation" and who completes an application for admission by the required deadline, but is not admitted to the University, is eligible for admission through the Coordinated Admission Program (CAP). CAP students must meet certain requirements in residence at a University of Texas System component institution other than UT Austin. Students choose from a list of participating institutions when signing a CAP contract.
If a student satisfies the requirements in the time allotted, he or she is guaranteed admission to the University of Texas at Austin in the fall semester of the following year as a regular student. Students who complete the Coordinated Admission Program and enter UT Austin are admitted into the College of Liberal Arts or the College of Natural Sciences. Those who wish to be admitted to a liberal arts or natural sciences program with enrollment restrictions, or to a program in another college or school, are considered in comparison with other students seeking to enter that program.
To complete the 2003-2004 Coordinated Admission Program successfully, a student must
Credit the student earns by examination does not count toward the thirty semester hour requirement, nor does any college credit the student earns prior to his or her fall semester in CAP.
If these requirements are not met, the student no longer is guaranteed admission to UT Austin; if the student still wishes to enter UT Austin, he or she may apply as a transfer student and will be evaluated as part of the competitive transfer pool.
Nonresidents are not eligible for the Coordinated Admission Program.

I went to my LBS yesterday with the intent to buy a 3900 for myself and a 3700 for the wife. The bike shop was running a sale and I ended up with a 4500 for myself and a 4300 for the wife. The 4500 was $399.95 and the 4300 was $349.95, I couldn't pass it up.
So far the 4500 is awesome except for the saddle... Wow, what a pain in the ass, literally. I did only 3 - 4 miles yesterday and my ass is killing me. Any recommendation for a saddle?

Men who lose their hair may have more to worry about than just vanity, especially if their balding starts early. Researchers have long known about the potential link between baldness and the risk of prostate cancer, but studies have been conflicting. Now a study of African-American men shows a higher risk of prostate cancer among men losing their hair, supporting the results of a previous study that found similar results in a group of primarily Caucasian men. In the current study, published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, researchers focused specifically on

Written with Obj-C
Objective-C is the primary programming language used when writing software for OS X and iOS.
Sprite Kit
Learn Sprite Kit, Apple's very own 2d game engine built right into Xcode. This course will teach you how to create fast paced games with an incredibly easy-to-use physics engine.
Learn more about your instructor...
This course is taught by Justin Dike, owner and lead developer at CartoonSmart.com, creator of the Fantastic Worlds iOS Starter Kits, and author of iOS Game Programming with Xcode and Cocos2d (published by Focal Press). Justin has been programming iOS games since the release of the first iPhone and has been teaching development for just as long, covering mostly game related topics. He's proficient with Cocos2d, Sprite Kit, Objective-C and most recently Swift.
Learn Sprite Kit for iOS and Xcode.
Justin Dike teaches this course on Sprite Kit game programming with Xcode 5 and iOS7. He brings his practical, easy style of teaching to Sprite Kit, Apple's own 2D game engine built into Xcode.
This introduction to Sprite Kit is truly meant for beginners of all kinds. If you've never programmed before, be sure to watch the first section and get some of the basics under your belt. Following that, we will pick apart the Sprite Kit starting template, then move onto building a quick game.
This is an Objective-C based Sprite Kit tutorial. If you're looking for an introduction to Sprite Kit using only Swift, we recommend this course. Most users of Sprite Kit should find it easy to switch between Objective-C and Swift based projects.
After three sessions you'll have the foundation of Sprite Kit in your back pocket.
Session 1: Xcode and Objective-C Basics
- Course Introduction
- Tour of the Xcode Interface – In this video tutorial we will tour the Xcode interface. We'll look at all the essential areas you should know about as a first time programmer. We will also look briefly at Asset Catalogs, a new way of adding your launch images and app icons (as of Xcode 5).
- Provisioning Profiles in Xcode 5* – This video will teach you how to add your Provisioning Profiles in Xcode 5 using the developer portal and Organizer. You need to be a registered developer to install your profiles and test on your actual device. Otherwise, you can test your project on the iOS Simulator.
- Objective C – Basics for Beginners* – If you aren't familiar with Objective-C or programming in general, you'll want to watch this first video on basic variable types. We'll look at int, float, NSString, bool and CGPoint variables and quickly test logging them in the update loop of the Sprite Kit template.
- Objective C – Basics for Beginners (continued)* – This course continues teaching the very basics of Objective-C. If you aren't familiar with if statements, while and for loops, or creating methods (with non-void returns and parameters) then you will definitely want to watch this quick primer.
*This is optional viewing for anyone already familiar with Objective C and Xcode.
Session 2: The Sprite Kit Template. Explained and Tweaked.
- This video will look at the Sprite Kit template and play around some with what already exists. If you skipped past the optional Objective-C basics tutorial, this video is also intended to give you a quick reminder of some core concepts to programming (for example, returning objects from a method, adding children, setting properties, etc)
- This second video examining the Sprite Kit Template will teach you how to enable multiple touches in the view controller, detect touch end events, use childNodeWithName, and enumerate through children during the update method.
Session 3: Building a Boulder Jumping Game
- Importing Assets to Xcode (and Exporting from Flash) – From here on, the series will focus on building a sample Sprite Kit jumping game, where your goal is to avoid getting hit by boulders and timing a characters leap over them. This short first video will discuss importing images to an Asset Catalog (new to Xcode 5), using Retina Display images, and also show you tips on how to export images from a program such as Adobe Flash.
- Texture Atlases with Sprite Kit – This video discusses creating a Texture Atlas for Sprite Kit. If you are already familiar with sprite sheets (for optimizing game graphics), a texture atlas is exactly that. You can name a folder with the ".atlas" extension and include your standard and retina images (with @2x.png extensions). This atlas folder with get packaged as a sprite sheet at compile time (code to use the atlas is discussed later).
- Adding and Identifying Children with Sprite Kit – In this video, we will add all of our children to the Sprite Kit scene, and create a method at a random interval to continuously add Boulder sprites. We will also look at the zPosition, xScale, name properties and more.
- Moving Objects and Detecting Two Objects Colliding – This video tutorial really gets the ball rolling with Sprite Kit. Pun intended. We'll be moving the boulder across the screen and detecting if it intersects with our character. We will also look at the enumerateChildNodesWithName method.
- Casting in Sprite Kit – This video discusses the concept of Casting in a Sprite Kit game. This is an important concept, and worthy of it's own video. We'll talking about when to cast an object, making sure it actually exists, and testing the kind of class that the cast object is.
- Adding Sprite Kit Actions – In this video we will add our Sprite Kit Actions which will do all the work involved with making the character jump and use the texture atlas we imported earlier. We will look at adding a sequence of SKActions as well as declaring them in the header file for use every time we touch the screen. We will also use the SKAction performSelector method to control how often the character is able to jump (toggling on or off if the character can jump).
- Game Over for this Sprite Kit Project – In this last video, we will test if the boulder has intersected with the character a certain number of times, and if so, we will transition to a new scene (actually the same scene over again) to restart the game.
