Ipad does not support Adobe Flash Player?
I tried to upload games at King.com and a notice said "This device does not support Adobe Flash Player". What's the deal? Thanks for any help.
Unfortunately, it's as it says - iOS (the operating system on iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches) does not support Flash.
Conniemc, believe it or not, this was a big to-do when the iPad first came out in 2010. Steve Jobs even posted a message on Apple's website regarding the matter because there was so much controversy surrounding the decision. Read the link for a better idea why Flash is not available on the iPad.
These days, the lack of Flash is not as big a deal, mostly because most of the web has moved on to using HTML 5 for video, and there are a wealth of games available on the App Store. Sorry to hear about your game not working though. You will probably want a traditional laptop if you want to keep playing it.
iOS from the original iPhone days has never supported Flash from the get go. The iPad and iPod Touch tow the same line on Flash..
It can be an inconvenience with sites that only support Flash, but a lot of sites are also employing HTML5 as "J.Fo" said and with Adobe pulling the plug mobile Flash themselves, I imagine that the migration to HTML5 is going to speed up..
So in other words, *mobile devices* no longer support Flash (or Java for that matter) and are none the worse for wear for it. Flash on Android was a miserable, poor-performing and battery-sucking, buggy hog -- which is why Adobe killed it off.
EDIT: My error, and it was an especially dumb one because I knew perfectly well that Android devices support Java (they have to, Android IS Java!). I should have said that iOS doesn't support Java, but I mixed it in with saying mobile devices (no longer) support Flash. Sorry.
Flash is a resource hog on all platforms, when put onto a battery-operated device, that just exasperates the situation shortens the battery life which runs counter to what the device should do generally..
Looks like Adobe hasn't been able to optimize the system for the mobile platform and is claiming defeat..
Java, unlike Flash, is very far from dead anywhere (except for perhaps the desktop which makes up only a fraction of Java's base anyway).
Adobe flash player on Ipad
Thank you everyone for the replies. As you have probably guessed, I am new to Ipad and have much to learn.

How Long It's Been Online
Since 2008
Why I Started
When I began my life as a mother of a child with severe special needs (to include autism and cognitive impairments) there were so many resources out there for newer mothers with young children. As my daughter grew older and became a tween then a teen, I found less out there with which I could relate. I had passed the stage of "adjusting" to our special life and moved on to the living. Adding three more children to our family also put me in the unique position of straddling two worlds -- the typical world of playdates and soccer games for my little ones and the "non-typical" world with my special child.
How I Do It
This is a personal blog that documents life's beauty, fun, and joy along with its challenges. While my experience as a mother of a child with significant special needs is the inspiration and "niche" for this blog, I write less about the daily details of her special challenges and more about how we live our lives fully and completely as a family. I try to capture universal themes about motherhood and discuss all aspects of our lives so that any parent can relate, but certainly those parents who understand the ups and downs of a child with a serious disabling condition will be able to see qualities of their life in my own.
I use pseudonyms for my four children and don't identify our last names. I do, however, include lots of photos. I'm careful as to what I disclose because I'm not just writing about my own life but also that of my children and I want to respect their privacy, both now and in the future. However, with writing I feel you need to be "real" and genuine. With that comes sharing personal information and feelings and you have to decide what is most comfortable for you. I suggest regular writing -- at least 3 times a week. I stick with "meatier" posts rather than short posts daily, but either works well. I avoid weekend posts completely -- that is family time!
- Decide on your "niche" or "angle" and keep that your focus.
- Use images -- if you do not feel comfortable posting personal photos there are numerous free images you can get online.
- Make your blog's name the same as your URL and keep it simple.
- Post at least 3 times a week. People who love what you write will simply forget to check back in if you are not writing often.
- Read other blogs for inspiration.
- Write great content but also keep it pretty and "professional looking."
- Don't blog in a bubble. Build cyber-relationships with other bloggers. Networking is really what it's all about!

The number of recipes seems a little bit light to me, there are only 30 new trainer recipes compared with 37 in Cataclysm. The two main holes are in the cloak and bracer enchantments. Currently we have five different cloak enchants (not counting vendor recipes), but in MoP only three cloak recipes are available from the trainer. For bracers we currently have six enchants from the trainer, in MoP there are only four. There is also no new +STAM enchant for boots, which would leave +Mastery as the boot enchant for tanks.

For any person interested in playing multi player games they might want to think about using Minecraft servers. These particular servers often can allow other gamer players to play with other online users. However, not all of these particular locations will be safe.
These particular servers can help gamer's to connect with other like minded players in certain locations. The person can select their own server hosted online often by joining certain member groups. In addition, to having these certain selections, some server locations might require a membership fee.
Often times, the person will need to have certain requirements on their end in order to access these different servers. Having an already established internet connection provider will be essential. Furthermore, only certain games such as the Minecraft game itself will also be required before playing on these certain server locations.
Having said that, with the game of minecraft there are only certain things that a gamer can do on their own. Many of the features that are included in the game will sometimes require to have a team effort approach in order to complete sections such as building towns. For that reason, the minecraft servers can help players to reach other players trying to complete those same levels of the game.
When it comes to locating the many websites online that seem to be linking these mine craft servers to players there are a lot of options to select from. Many of these websites will have different banner links advertising different networks in which the person can use. However, while many of these locations do seem to be secure, not all of them provide the same features.
For that reason, it will often be left up to the player to perform their own advanced research in order to determine what server to use. This can sometimes help to avoid having any difficulties on the gaming system if the person will take time to do the research in advance. Furthermore, in order to access the minecraft servers , some website owners will require that the member join their site.
This can easily be done, by providing them with your email address, and full name details. The person will want to be certain that they do provide the right information in order to be able to access these particular servers without any issues. Furthermore, some locations are also charging for their access to use these certain minecraft servers, so the person will want to be sure they read the terms and conditions before giving out their information to the website owner.
When it comes to wanting to access certain mine craft servers, the choices can at first be overwhelming. Nonetheless, if the person will take their time to perform their own advanced research it can help to lead to making an informed decision on which server would suit them best. The internet does provide the proper tools to help any person seeking to learn more information about how to access these certain servers the ability to do so with much success.

This gives you the chance to make a clean break from your problems. Professional studies illustrate that inpatient facilities often are more successful at keeping their clients free from drugs and alcohol long-term.

Nigerian delegates in a group called Education Development Opportunities (EDO) Incorporated has led a trade mission to the city of Oakland and Northern California, United States of America, to forge strong bilateral trade between both countries.
In a statement issued and made available to THISDAY, the trade mission, which was organised by the President Oakland/Benin-City Sister Cities, President and founder, EDO Inc, Mr. Osagie Enabulele, was to encourage business and economic development, infrastructural development, tourism, partnership and strengthen ties between the two nations in order to enhance economic development.

Dignitaries present at the event include the Managing Director Hexagon Network Limited, Edo State, Nigeria and son to Oba Erediauwa, Prince Omoregbe Erediauwa, and the Isekhure of Benin Kingdom, Edo State, Chief Nosakhare Isekhure. Erediauwa and Isekhure thanked the Mayor, for her works, and recognising her for her accomplishment of being the first female Mayor of Oakland.
The Benin delegation promised to visit the City of Oakland in 2013, working closely with Enabulele to heighten their involvement in the programme. The delegation visited Pangaea Global Aids Foundation in honour of commemorating World AIDS Day, while a reception and community gathering was held also at Studio One Arts Centre in Oakland.
The delegation later attended the Oakland Raiders game in commemoration of World AIDS Day. According to the statement, this was the first time that testing was done in a National Football Game in the USA.
Through Enabulele and Ms. Vashone Huff's efforts to get screened Oakland and Bay Cares, the Oakland Raiders donated 7,500 condoms, and had a free HIV testing before the game.
Also present at the event, the HIV/Aids Regional Resource Coordinator, US Department of Health and Human Services, Adriann McCall, the Nurses Children Foundation, Leslie Silket, RN, Prince Erediauwa, Chief Isekhure, Dr. Nosakhare Imarayi, Dominic Agboje, Vashone Huff, Get Screened Oakland; Gloria Crowell-Cox, Allen Temple Aids Ministry; Ses Solitani and Dale Gluth of Aids Health Care Foundation.

The dignitaries visited the California State Capitol - the Governor's office, Lieutenant Governor's office, and also the tourism industry in Sacramento, California and later members of the Nigerian and Edo communities were introduced to City Council President Larry Reid and Council Members at the Oakland City Council Meeting.
Isekhure also addressed the City Council and the City of Oakland residents, and promised to be back again in 2013 with a fuller delegation.
The Alameda County also gave certificates of commendation to the Speaker, Edo State House of Assembly, Mr. Uyi Igbe, Princess Theresa Erediauwa, Prince Erediauwa, Chief Isekhure, and Enabulele, welcoming them to Alameda County and recognising their contributions to the Nigerian community in the Bay Area.
The statement added that for nearly ten years, through EDO, Enabulele has consistently brought the rich tradition and culture of Nigeria to the City of Oakland, and Northern California by hosting successful events, including Black History celebrations, Town Hall forums on - Glaucoma, Nigerian/PAN African Gala, and promoting the sister city relationship.

BOSTON — Orioles executive director of international recruiting Fred Ferreira plucked Orioles right-hander Miguel Gonzalez from the Mexican League, signed him to a minor league free-agent deal and saw him blossom into a major league starting pitcher.
Now he hopes another pitcher — ironically, one with the same name — can reach the same heights.
The Orioles have signed pitcher Miguel Gonzalez, an 18-year-old right-hander from the Dominican Republic, to an international free-agent deal.
Gonzalez has a fastball in the 94- to 98-mph range, Ferreira said, and has a strong breaking ball that's still developing.

First of all, you need to decide on exactly what you want.
- What function do you want the website to serve?
- Do you want your website to be interactive or just display static information?
Web designers usually deal with the general layout, fonts, colours, navigation and general aspects of the site.
Web programmers or developers deal with the 'behind the scenes stuff' and program the code that makes your site work the way it is supposed to work. If you need an e-commerce website or need users to be able to register on your site and need complicated galleries and ticket management then this is their domain
Graphic designers usually create the layout, logos and colours for your website.
How much will it cost?
This depends on what you want. The price will depend on the features you need. Beware of very low prices as the quality of the work is usually poor. A clean and professional website can mean the difference in the success of your business. A clean and professionally developed website is visually appealing and adds to the professionalism of your business. People get turned off by very flashy and gaudy websites and you may leave your visitors with a poor impression.
There are so many companies, how do i chose the right one for me?
Before you decide on the web develpment company, ask to see some of their previous work and their portfolio. This should give you a rough idea of the quality of their work.
- Does their quotation justify the quality of their work?
- What are their pricing options?
- Do you have to pay on a monthly basis or a once-off annual fee?
- How much do they charge for maintaining/updating your website?
- Does their quotation include hosting fees?

In 2012, the global iodine production registered YoY growth by around 1,100 tonnes and reached 29,200 tonnes. In the same year, the top five iodine manufacturing countries – Chile, Japan, the US, China and Azerbaijan – held more than 95% of the world iodine production volume. In 2015, the world iodine supply is poised to touch the 33,000 tonnes mark, witnessing a stable increase in the upcoming years.

Middle Schooler Helps Boy With Cerebral Palsy Win Wrestling Match: See His Touching Act of Sportsmanship (VIDEO)
Meet 13-year-old Jared Stevens, a 7th grader from Sunset Middle School in Tennessee who, like any other teenager, likes to participate in his favorite sports. What makes him different, however, is that Jared has cerebral palsy.
Jared's father, Phil, tells The Tennessean, "Jared just like to do stuff like everybody else… he just enjoys being out there participating." And so he joined his school's wrestling team, practicing with them daily. When he expressed his desire to participate in a match, Jared's coach, Clay Mayes, took action, calling a coach from rival Freedom Middle School seeking an opponent.
"It wasn't about weight class," Mayes says. "I told him to point me toward the kid who has the kindest heart."
Enter Justin Kievit, a fellow 7th grader and wrestler who was matched against Jared. In a video now gone viral, we see Justin shake Jared's hand and then proceed to help Jared pin him to the mat as the crowd cheers with encouragement. Justin admits to being a little nervous at first but tells The Tennessean, "I kind of figured out what to do."
Jared's father uploaded the video and the match has now garnered more than 87,000 shares on Facebook in less than a week.
You can watch the match in its entirety below, but warning: Your heart will be thoroughly warmed!

If adjacent properties all agree that a property owner can have chickens or ducks, what in the world is being accomplished by having city "policies"? This is simply another way that completely unaffected neighborhood pests can make trouble for good citizens. Extremely disappointing that the city has bought into the current society mindset that says whatever anyone else does, is somehow MY business. Completely a crock of nonsense. City Council, get your act together and quit trying to "Big Brother" residents. Cities who attempt to somehow by force of law, form a uniform resident or a uniform local business are much less desirable. Cottage Grove's current state of high business vacancies is not a coincidence with how the city is run.

When I was kid about 12 years old living in Pine Ridge Estates, we had 13 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, 2 dogs, a cat, a parakeet and for two weeks about 80 pigeons. Nobody complained except our Dad!
The pigeons were turned loose and went back to where we caught them from (an old barn). Of course back then, all the neighbors knew each other, socialized together and kept an eye on all the kids. How times have changed.

Sag Harbor's Ken Lasiuk was fond of saying; "I would find it easier retiring from my work at the United Nations, rather than deciding when to end playing ice hockey."
In 2009, retiring from his job as an executive officer in the UN's Office of Legal Affairs, Mr. Lasiuk thankfully didn't have to make that choice.
Mr. Lasiuk, with wife, Carol, and Pierson senior, Emma, began a new life of leisure, playing ice hockey in full gear at New York's Chelsea Piers, and during the winters, skating at East Hampton's Buckskill Winter Club as an active member of The Hackers Ice Hockey Club, a local team started by Sag Harbor's John Battle and Gigi Morris.
In April 2011, traveling with his family on college tours, Mr. Lasiuk began experiencing unexplained symptoms. After visiting neurologists, Mr. Lasiuk was diagnosed in June of 2011 with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's Disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease, leaving Mr. Lasiuk unable to walk, and certainly unable to play hockey. Until this past Saturday.
Specifically designed for players with disabilities, the Hackers conspired with Mr. Lasiuk's family to secretly buy him a special ice sledge hockey sled and sticks, and partnered with Buckskill owner, Doug DeGroot, who swiftly installed a special ramp entrance to the ice skating rink.
Arriving to the Lasiuk's home last Friday night, team members John Battle, David Reiner and Tom Morrissey, surprised Mr. Lasiuk with his new sled, taking him to Buckskill for a test-run.
"There was no way I wasn't going with them," Mr. Lasiuk said. "These guys picked me up and lifted me out of the house."
Saturday's sunrise was brilliant against a deep blue, cold sky, and at 9 o'clock, Mr. Lasiuk arrived ready to play hockey. Surrounded by Hacker team members, Mr. Lasiuk suited up, was carefully lifted into his new hockey sled, and with tears of joy, entered the ice to thunderous applause.
"I feel so lucky," Mr. Lasiuk, explained. "I have no complaints. Carol and I are married 20 years, Emma's going off to college, and I live in Sag Harbor surrounded by my family and friends. My Hackers teammates know my lifelong love of this game, and today they gifted me with one more shot at it. I'm a very happy man."

The Three Faces of Steve: On Stephen Sondheim
Finishing the Hat, the first of two long-awaited volumes of Stephen Sondheim's lyrics, wit and wisdom, reminds me of another exacting exercise in self re-evaluation: the New York Edition of the fiction of Henry James. In the eighteen prefaces he wrote for the twenty-four-volume set, James revealed the sparks that found ready kindling in his imagination, and shared his many struggles to coax them into stories and novels. James could detect a spark in something as fleeting as casual conversation: "A mere floating particle in the stream of talk." Because the Broadway musical is a collaborative effort, many of Sondheim's shows have been set alight by other people's sparks; but regarding Pacific Overtures (1976), for one, Sondheim shares a truly Jamesian moment of inspiration. He recalls coming upon a Japanese screen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art: "It was like a sudden explosion; it seemed to grow as I looked at it." The screen, Sondheim suggests, was not just a piece of japonaiserie; rather, it was an aesthetic commandment to honor the principle of "less is more," not as an abstract idea but as an emotional imperative.
Spanning the first three decades of Sondheim's career, and revealing more of his creative process than James's prefaces did of his own, Finishing the Hat includes rejects, rewrites and substitutes of lyrics from thirteen shows that together illuminate the dark, devious road leading to Broadway hits and flops. Like James, Sondheim transformed a popular genre often aimed at the young into an art for, and about, adults. Writing for a smart audience, James and Sondheim have no qualms about appearing smarter-than-thou, but Sondheim is smart about being smarter. Whereas James allowed his followers to call him The Master, Sondheim wrote a tongue-in-cheek song for the revue Sondheim on Sondheim (2010) in which the cast hails him as God. Sondheim, like James, is also ruthless when assessing the talents of famous predecessors. In sidebar "heresies" planted throughout Finishing the Hat, he pillories Ira Gershwin ("His work bespeaks a generous, warm and talented man, but his brother was a genius"), Lorenz Hart ("the laziest of the pre-eminent lyricists") and Noël Coward ("the Master of Blather"). Sondheim sounds mild compared with James, who practiced summary executions: "Our Mutual Friend…is poor with the poverty not of momentary embarrassment, but of permanent exhaustion." "Mr. Trollope is simply unable to depict a mind in any liberal sense of the word." Not even Tolstoy is spared: "From no other great projector of the human image and the human idea is so much truth to be extracted under an equal leakage of its value."
These judgments would sound coldblooded if they were not part of an encompassing project of self-criticism. Following a common aesthetic commandment—thou shalt not tell, but show—the work of both artists reveals the inner life of characters rather than showcasing the cleverness of its creator. This approach requires scrupulous revision and refinement. It demands technique. Technical acuity, moreover, is not empty virtuosity but a form of knowledge and, eventually, sympathy. Every page of Finishing the Hat is marked by Sondheim's belief that being an artist requires intellectual vigilance. As James famously advised, "Try to be one of the people on whom nothing is lost!" Sondheim's sympathies, deep rather than broad, extend mainly to other perspicacious characters; yet his best work strips bare the pitfalls of intelligence, especially when it is allied with the imagination. Intelligence, he shows, is amoral. The painter George in Sunday in the Park With George (1984) and the serial killer in Sweeney Todd (1979) are versions of the same character: brilliant, obsessed and blind to the sources of their own cruelty.
* * *
Art isn't easy, as Sondheim wrote, especially art based on a highly self-conscious aesthetic; and over the years Sondheim has taken on projects whose difficulties would terrify most composer/lyricists, let alone their financial backers. A Japanese musical (Pacific Overtures)? A show about presidential assassins (Assassins)? Critics—champions of Sondheim as well as skeptics—have often oversimplified the shows on the assumption that Sondheim is a perennially clever kid rather than a stern ethicist. John Lahr, for one, described him as peddling "boulevard nihilism" in Sweeney Todd. It's not hard to find a character in the shows who sees the world through the eyes of Holden Caulfield—life sucks, everyone's a phony, we die alone—but that view is part of the story, not an op-ed published under Sondheim's byline. One could just as easily accuse Sondheim of dabbling in "boulevard idealism" in Merrily We Roll Along (1981), which tracks the relation of innocence and experience in reverse chronology, ending with a bright-eyed affirmation of youthful idealism as corny as Kansas in August.
With an initial run of just sixteen performances, Merrily ranks among Sondheim's most humiliating flops, even though it boasts no fewer than three of the greatest "showbiz" numbers of all time ("It's a Hit!" "Franklin Shepard, Inc." and "Opening Doors") and one classic ballad ("Not a Day Goes By"). Unfortunately, but perhaps understandably, Finishing the Hat does not shed much light on the show's failure other than to say that its faults were remedied by casting older actors and the several rounds of rewriting suggested by Sondheim's current collaborator, James Lapine. Sondheim explains that the show, like several of its predecessors, re-enacted the moral fable of Allegro, the notorious flop by Sondheim's mentor Oscar Hammerstein (the 17-year-old Sondheim served as Hammerstein's assistant on the show). In Allegro, a precursor of the "concept musical," a doctor repeatedly attempts to escape the moral compromises of bourgeois existence, and eventually succeeds. Merrily, based on a 1934 play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, tells the story backward, beginning in 1981 and ending in 1957, and spotlights not a doctor but a songwriter and movie producer, Franklin Shepard, whose moral compromises, never redeemed, leave a trail of broken marriages and soured friendships. The theme of art versus life would return in Sondheim's work with Sunday in the Park With George, but there, at least, the audience has the assurance of knowing that the George of the first act is the painter Georges Seurat, whose La Grande Jatte attained masterpiece status, thereby, or so many critics assumed, justifying the artist's thorny life.
Merrily recalls Thomas Mann's unsettling tales about artists: we don't know if their art is any good, so we can't tell if it will atone, even slightly, for the long list of misdeeds committed while making it. For the novelist this ambiguity can be a potent source of irony, but in musical theater irony can be slippery because keeping a show's point of view clear is difficult. Shepard is rich, but is he a good composer or just a lucky hack? On the original cast recording the overture sounds tinny and tacky. Its tunes could have been fished from the wastebasket of the Broadway songwriter Jule Styne, which would make the overture a bizarre hommage to Sondheim's collaborator in Gypsy. But perhaps it's an exposé of Shepard's mediocrity, assuming that the overture is by Shepard, not Sondheim.
Finishing the Hat allows us to compare the Merrily lyrics from the 1981 disaster production with those from the more successful revised production staged first in 1985 and again a decade later (although without showing us the revised script). The differences contradict the oft-repeated accusation that Sondheim is not interested in his characters. The original production of Merrily opened with a high school anthem, "The Hills of Tomorrow," composed by the teenage Shepard. It sounds a lot like "Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide, but not as good—which may have been the point. Frank's first hit song, "Good Thing Going," which shadows him through the score like a guilty conscience, sounds like "Small World" as rewritten for the Carpenters. It's hard to say how that irony works. The song also sounds very much like one that could launch a successful showbiz career.
The problem with Merrily, as Sondheim and Lapine came to realize, was a matter of emphasis. The story that needed to be told was not a younger generation's rejection of their parents' values, timely as that tale might have been, but rather Shepard's awareness of the choices in life that had led him into the abyss. It's a Jamesian angle. The central action of the show, Sondheim realized, took place within Shepard's mind, and exploring it demanded empathy, not irony. No wonder the show was hard to write, and harder to stage. Rescuing it from disaster required a ruthless reappraisal of the original, a new script, new characters, new songs and no distracting anthem, however pretty. Most of all, it required a sharper definition of the lead characters and their motivations: aren't both Charley and Mary, the two creative partners Frank betrays on his way to the top, in love with him? I'm not convinced that every problem was solved, or is solvable, but I find the revised version (which can be heard on an imported Jay/TER CD) a far richer backstage drama, dramatically and musically, than even A Chorus Line. Sometimes ambition trumps perfection.

Legacies of the Asia-Pacific War
The Yakeato Generation
Edited by Roman Rosenbaum, Yasuko Claremont
Routledge – 2010 – 258 pages
Routledge – 2010 – 258 pages
When we look in detail at the various peripheral groups of disenfranchised people emerging from the aftermath of the Asia–Pacific War the list is startling: Koreans in Japan (migrants or forced labourers), Burakumin, Hibakusha, Okinawans, Asian minorities, comfort women and many others. Many of these groups have been discussed in a large corpus of what we may call 'disenfranchised literature', and the research presented in this book intends to add an additional and particularly controversial example to the long list of the voice- and powerless. The presence of members of what is known as the yakeato sedai or the generation of people who experienced the fire-bombings of the Asia–Pacific War is conspicuous in all areas of contemporary Japan. From literature to the visual arts, from music to theatre, from architecture to politics, their influence and in many cases guiding principles is evident everywhere and in many cases forms the keystone of modern Japanese society and culture.
The contributors to this book explore the impact of the yakeato generation - and their literary, creative and cultural and works - on the postwar period by drawing out the importance of the legacy of those people who truly survived the darkest hour of the twentieth century and re-evaluate the ramifications of their experiences in contemporary Japanese society and culture. As such this book will be of huge interest to those studying Japanese history, literature, poetry and cultural studies.

The Trans Arkansas Trail - The "TART"
The TART is a 524 +/- mile trail of mixed tarmac, gravel roads, forest roads, Weyhauser Forests, State Forest Trails, single track and ATV tracks traversing the center of Arkansas from South to North (or reversed as you see fit). The route is best ridden in at least three or more days. The tracks below denote camping opportunities along the way.
Disclaimer*** Bikes larger than 650cc could have problems on some sections of this route. Sections of the route especially near Lake Winona should be considered only by experienced riders as it is extremely tight, rocky, rutted and steep and this section is best suited to nimble bikes. Be forewarned that there is also significant tarmac in the mid section of this ride due to recent stimulus money spent on paving (most of it delightfully twisty) but the unpaved sections more than make up for it. Sections of TART may be impassable after significant rain events especially near Eldorado. The trail may also be subject to closed gates on Weyhauser Forest properties, State Forests and hunting lease areas. BE PREPARED TO RE-ROUTE ON THE FLY. Oh! I almost forgot. Y'all are big boys n girls, if you fall down and go boom...it's on you, be careful out there!
The TART can be started from either Blue Eye, Missouri on the Arkansas/Missouri border or from Eldorado, Arkansas on the Louisiana/Arkansas border. You can read about the "TART" HERE
Tracks are provided in Garmin .gdb format
Day 1 - Eldorado, Arkansas to DeGray's Lake State Park - Filtered to 700pts HERE.
Day 2 - DeGrays Lake State Park to Choctaw Recreation Area - Filtered to 700pts HERE.

Oh Man, this is juicy, can't wait! :thumb
My favorite section was near Lake Winona
I thought you might like this DRZ Charlie. I uploaded the complete tracks file and processed it using the "Track Wizard" which attempts to identify the trail difficulty. As you can see the tracks have been broken down and color coded. If you create a login on the site, I'll transfer the track over to you so you can clean it up further if you'd like to. You can upload photos and attach them to the map as well. There is a geocoding wizard that makes it easy to pin the photos to the map by using time stamps in the track file and time stamps in the photos.

Very cool Craftycoder! wow. I will do that.
You now own that map. You can get to it by clicking here. Also feel free to copy my embedded map code to your ride report thread. I think people will appreciate seeing it and I may get few more users out of the deal as well. The more people, the better the track database!
Thanks for all the work. I hope to attempt it from north to south in the late spring. :clap
It's a good ride from that direction. You will experience some nice twisty pavement then onto gravel south of Harrison, AR. After that a good mix. Pay attention to weather conditions because when you near the southern portion a good bit of it when subjected to rain will be a mud pit.
DRZ Charlie, you are awesome!!!!
We have just got to get together for a ride some day!
I too am working on a north/south route across Arkansas. When I'm finished we might be able to merge the two and make a round trip!
Thanks for all that "work".
Will Shinko 705's work on a KLR for this trail? I hate to ride from Texas on semi knobbies if the 705's will work. I'm gonna stay out of the technical stuff also
There is a lot of Paper Mill Forest on the mid part of the route. I would use knobbies. If it has rained those roads will be tough without them. Your results may vary.
Two of us will be starting the TART in the morning.
Just rode the northern two sections. I had a great time. Ride report coming.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it ...I'll be waiting on your report.

The entity with the greatest influence on what Americans cook is not Costco or Trader Joe's. It's not the Food Network or The New York Times. It's Google. Every month about a billion of its searches are for recipes. The dishes that its search engine turns up, particularly those on the first page of results, have a huge impact on what Americans cook. Which is why, with a recent change in its recipe search, Google has, in effect, taken sides in the food war. Unfortunately, it's taken the wrong one.

Neighborhood Life: The Ups, Downs, and Day-to-Days on East Monument Street
When Bill Richardson thinks about how long he's run his produce stand at East Baltimore's Northeast Market, he says simply, "Too long."
It's the kind of wry comment one expects from a grandparent or a neighborhood veteran. And Richardson is certainly the latter when you consider the five generations his family has spent doing business on East Monument Street.

I'd love to see HT do a Raw Deal version Arnie, i just can't see HT doing it.
a buy for me.
I don't have the 1st version so I will get this (the new HS seems much better to me) as a huge T2 fan.
However, how can this be that HT never produced a Conan figure? This would sell like hot cakes !!
I would also get Dutch if produced.
All the naysayers and this will still sell out.
pulled the trigger after seeing it in Toy Hunters. Parted out parts aint going to be cheap ^O^

Originating before the written word and perhaps even before language, music has a long and varied history. Evidence of music and musical instruments has been found in every culture. While the purpose, theme and sound have changed throughout time, the appeal remains. In today's society music serves as an outlet for expression, as a form of communication and entertainment, and as a mode of therapy.
Because music is familiar and predictable, it may evoke feelings of safety and security. Music can move through culture and language barriers and provide motivation. For these reasons, music therapy is used to assist patients in reaching medical goals. Music has been shown to ease pain, discomfort and anxiety often associated hospitalization, healing and recovery..
Music therapy also helps patients and their families cope. It is used to address emotional, cognitive and social needs. Music therapy can enhance the quality of life for patients and caregivers as well as give families an opportunity to share time together in a positive, creative way. It can have a significant positive impact on the overall health and well-being of persons dealing with a variety of conditions.
Music therapy has been shown to have a significant effect on a patient's perceived effectiveness of treatment, self reports of pain reduction, relaxation, respiration rate, and observed and self-reported anxiety levels.
A music therapist is a unique blend of musician and therapist with specialized training in the use of music intervention to improve psychological, physiological and emotional well-being. Music therapists undergo extensive training at accredited universities to earn degrees that allow them to obtain national board certification in the field.
Using music experiences, music therapists can help patients:

"fragrant plant of the mint family," c.1300, from Anglo-French lavendre, Old French lavendre, from Medieval Latin lavendula "lavender" (10c.), perhaps from Latin lividus "bluish, livid." Associated with French lavande, Italian lavanda "a washing" (from Latin lavare "to wash;" see lave) because it was used to scent washed fabrics and as a bath perfume. (An identical Middle English word meant "laundress, washerwoman;" also, apparently, "prostitute, whore; camp follower" and is attested as a surname from early 13c.). The adjective meaning "pale purple color" is from 1840.

Now that your child is online more and more, it is important that they know how to stay safe in the land of the World Wide Web. This activity will teach you and your child important tips on how to stay safe online.
- Studies have shown that when you play with your child, you help make connections that will help your child achieve academic success later on in life. That being said, take turns playing this game with your child. It's fun!
- While playing comment on the subject matter. For example, if a question regarding cyberbullying pops up, ask your child if he/she has ever been cyberbullied, or if they know someone who has.
- Engage your child in conversation about Internet safety issues. This way you will have an opportunity to find out what he/she does know about being safe on the Internet, and what he/she has yet to learn.
- You yourself may need a brush-up course on the realities of online safety. Play this game too, you may learn something that you didn't know before!
Ontario children are accessing the Internet more and more. Curricular expectations in the Media Literacy area have been added to the Ontario Language curriculum document, which recommend that children utilize computers and the Internet for various purposes, as does the Ontario Science and Technology curriculum document. Using the computer respectfully and safely is important for all children. This activity will guide children towards doing just that. This game meets many expectations in multiple grades, one of which is:
Language: Media Literacy
Reflect on and identify their strengths as media interpreters and creators, areas for improvement, and the strategies they found most helpful in understanding and creating media texts.
Opening up the lines of communication regarding the importance of being safe online is a great thing to do while your children are young. This will help keep the lines of communication open for when they are older and visiting websites that may be less secure.
Here are some tips for you to help insure that your child will be safe online:
- Make sure the computer is located in a central area of your home, such as the family room or home office.
- Engage your child in conversation about online safety, including privacy issues (not giving out personal information online), cyberbullying (saying mean things about people online, or threatening people online in chat rooms, or postings), and teaching your child that some people in a chat room may not be who they really say they are (these people are known as online predators who lurk in chat rooms visited by tweens and teens trying to get these innocent children to meet them in the real world).
- Make some time to sit with your child while he/she goes through the sites that he/she most often visits. This will give you an idea as to what habits your child has online. For example, do they visit chat rooms? Do they enter contests and give out personal information without consulting you?

Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee
Score: 7.0 / 10
Whenever I watch "buddy" films (Rush Hour,
The Rescuers Down Under, Tango & Cash) or play "buddy" games (Banjo-Tooie,
The Lost Vikings) I expect certain things. Buddy games by their nature
are co-operative. One character will access an area only they can access
to unlock a door, lower a bridge, etc. to allow the other character
access to that same area and continue together to vanquish whatever
wrong-doer locked the door in the first place. Munch's Oddysee (MO) is
in the same vein and does the standards very well – Abe and Munch (the
ying-yang factor is present – Abe's spiritual while Munch interacts with
high technology) face a variety of challenges, not the least of which is
staying alive – but falls apart when it comes to addictive gameplay and
control. But first…
well and look terrific – provided you can see what you're doing as the camera needs work. Camera transgressions include: not adjusting well to the action and not zooming in during the short in-game "briefings" by the Shamans. Most times the camera is just plain too far away making precision control difficult. I'm almost willing to let these issues slide since up to this point Oddworld has always been rendered
in 2D and the developers might not have a
lot of experience with 3D. I say "almost" because if a game like MO
expects to make a go of it, it has to do what other games have been
doing well for the last 5 years. There are a wide assortment of camera
controls but when you're running around with the worst that Vykkers Lab
has to offer breathing down your neck, adjusting the camera isn't the
first thing on your mind.

Marine biologist Dr. Hollace (Holly) Leonard had planned to be in Folly Beach, South Carolina hours ago, but she got lost-again and had a flat tire. Tired after the long drive, she finally arrives at the Bed and Breakfast she will be staying at for the summer while she helps Mr. Brant write his book on giant sea turtles. However, he is not what she expected when they meet. He is a former soldier, has a hard time trusting others and is so serious. Maybe she can get him to lighten-up some while they work together.
Parker Brant, owns and operates a charter service and is active with protecting the sea turtles and lighthouses. He is writing a book on the giant sea turtles, but since he doesn't have any talent writing he hires a marine biologist, Dr. Hollace Leonard, to assist him with his book. She will stay in Folly Beach for the summer so they can get it completed as soon as possible. Expecting Dr. Leonard to be the grandmotherly-type, he is very surprised when she arrives. Not only is she not the grandmotherly-type, she is young, very cute and clumsy.
There are secrets that are revealed with much heartache, many challenges the characters face and must come to grips from their past, surprises, romance, faith and forgiveness to make this a great story.

Treat yourself right
June 29, 2010
On hot days, reach for the coolest treats Issaquah has to offer
Summer, glorious summer, means fat ice cream bars at Boehm's Candies, enough Triple XXX Root Beer to float a battleship and ample pints at the Issaquah Brewhouse.
Summertime makes for a great excuse to sample quintessential delights from the classic Issaquah joints. Bonus: On blistering days, the treats offer respite from the heat.
Forget the drizzle and damp. Forget calorie counts. Indulge in something cool — and a little nostalgic. Hey, it's summer.
Float on
Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in stands as a monument to the era before interstates and drive-thrus. Behind the barrel-shaped façade, the Enciso family serves big burgers portioned for Fred Flintstone, canoe-sized sundaes and enough flavors of shakes to put Baskin-Robbins to shame.
The titular attraction reigns supreme: root beer served in a frosted mug as big as a medieval tankard. Upgrade to a root-beer float and the potion comes crowned with whipped cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream as big as a baseball.
XXX unveils biggest car show schedule yet
February 9, 2010
If you have a car club and missed out getting on the 2010 calendar of shows at the XXX Rootbeer Drive-In, you'll have to be quicker next year. This year's list is filled. Read more
Did Buddy Holly's 'tour from hell' ended in Issaquah?
August 18, 2009
Many people have private collections featuring a piece of rock 'n' roll history. Jose Enciso jumped at the chance to acquire a huge chunk.
As the owner of the XXX Rootbeer Drive-in, Enciso said he's always searching to bring something else into Issaquah that gives it a signature attraction. The interior of his restaurant already features a museum's worth of kitsch. Now, his parking lot features the biggest item yet — Buddy Holly's tour bus.
Enciso cannot confirm the chain of ownership of the 1950s Kenworth. He can only share what he's been told. But the mystique, whether true or not, of possibly owning something out of rock infamy is what he hopes draws in customers. Read more

Keeping cool in record heat
August 4, 2009
Scoopers at Cold Stone Creamery ratcheted production of chilly creations during a record-breaking heat wave last week. Then, the air conditioning unit broke.
Customers continued to stream to the East Lake Sammamish Parkway store, eager for relief from triple-digit temperatures.
At XXX Rootbeer Drive-in, dozens of customers lined up in 100-degree heat for signature root beer floats.
"Some are even going from the small to the large," employee Jose Enciso Jr. said.
At ice cream shops, movie theaters, pools and beaches around Issaquah, residents sought refuge as the mercury climbed beyond 100 and residents slogged through days of high temperatures — including record temperatures.
Temperatures at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport — where the official readings for Seattle are taken — reached 103 degrees July 29.
Motorcycle show expands to two-day event
July 14, 2009
Renowned for its car shows, the XXX Rootbeer Drive-in Restaurant has tried to host motorcycle rallies in the past with mixed results. This year, with a local motorcycle club organizing the proceedings, plans to host one of the biggest rallies west of Sturgis look more realistic.
David Harris, president of Issaquah's Thundering Angels Motorcycle Club, has expanded the program to a two-day event July 18-19.
Day one is a charity ride to raise funds for Issaquah's Life Enrichment Options and the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank. Harris said the club is not your stereotypical, hide-the-women-and-children motorcycle gang.
"We're just a fun bike club for those interested in biking," he said. "We're also a social club with a nonprofit status."
For a $20 donation for the charity ride, bikers go on a three-hour tour of the countryside, with several stops along the way. At each stop, riders are given an envelope with three poker cards. By the end of the ride, the riders who can make the best hands from their combined cards win prizes. Read more
City considers ban on Styrofoam
June 23, 2009
Stop by XXX Rootbeer Drive-in for a to-go root beer, and the signature drink will be served in a plastic foam cup — for now. Employees at the drive-in and many other Issaquah restaurants could be forced to swap Styrofoam and other polystyrene containers for eco-friendly materials.
Drive-in owner Jose Enciso said his restaurant uses polystyrene products because they cost less than alternatives. As the City Council considers a ban on Styrofoam to-go boxes and other food containers made from eco-unfriendly polystyrene, Enciso and other business leaders said the ban could mean higher prices on the menu.
But Enciso said he was comfortable with the switch for environmental reasons. Read more
Fenders go bumper to bumper on Front Street
June 16, 2009
Souped-up hot rods and classics go bumper to bumper at Issaquah's Fenders on Front Street on June 21.
DownTown Issaquah Association organizers said they are hoping for good weather and plenty of patrons to help them celebrate the best of all things automotive on Father's Day.
"I think fathers and cars always go together, and sharing it with their kids makes it that much better," said Joe Forkner, an organizer for the event. "There is no restrictions on cars, so there will be new ones, old ones and all sorts of stuff.
"Besides, you're not going to get through downtown very fast, so why not stick around?" he asked.
Fenders on Front Street debuted in 2005 with overwhelming participation. Nearly 800 cars lined the street and filled parking lots at XXX Rootbeer Drive-in and other restaurants, according to Forkner.
Unfortunately, it rained the second year and only about 200 cars showed. Last year, extreme heat brought only 400 participants to the show. Read more
Fenders on Front Street Car Show highlights Greenway Days Festival
June 9, 2009
For two days in June, more than Interstate 90 will connect Seattle and Eastside residents.
The 1.4 million acres of natural land that make up the Mountains to Sound Greenway and stretch along I-90 will be part of the sixth annual Greenway Days.
Hosted by the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, the festival will have more than 25 events June 20-21 in 10 communities over 100 miles along I-90. Participants will get a chance to learn more about the culture and history of the area, as well as the outdoor recreation available. The various activities include hikes, relays, bike rides, a car show and guided tours of local historical hot spots. Read more
Even flash mobs welcome at XXX car shows
February 16, 2009
Traditionally, classic car group leaders meet with XXX Rootbeer Restaurant owner Jose Enciso to schedule a show at his iconic landmark for the upcoming year.
Lately, Enciso said he's seeing a new trend — the flash mob.
As defined by Wikipedia, a flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time and then quickly disperse. In this case, assemble on a whim at the XXX, compare cars, eat a quick burger and then hit the road.
"They're using this new technology to e-mail each other and suddenly 200 car owners — Civics, Preludes, whatever — will show up without any notice," Enciso said.
He said his staff has no problem accommodating so many car nuts on short notice. But he said he hopes this trend isn't the wave of the future for organizing car shows.
"A lot of us classic car owners are old-timers. We're pretty set in our ways. We like to have a set schedule to go by," he said. Read more

Frequency (Rate) of Breathing (f)
Breathing is a cyclical activity consisting of inspirations and expirations repeated over time. The spontaneous rate or frequency of beathing (f) is considered a vital sign and normally measured by counting the number of breaths per minute. Normal rates of breathing vary by age as follows:
Normal Respiratory Rates
|1 year old
|10 year old
Inspiratory to Expiratory Time Ratio (I:E ratio)
More detailed assessment of the ventilatory time parameters includes measurement of the inspiratory to expiratory time ratio (I:E ratio). The I:E ratio is simple the ratio of inspiratory time (tI) to expiratory time (tE):
|For example, if a patient has an inspiratory time of 1.5 seconds and an expiratory time of 4.5 seconds, her I:E ratio is 1.5 to 4.5 or 1:3.
In normal individuals, the I:E ratio ranges from 1:2 to 1:3 (expiration being about two to three times longer than inspiration). In patients with expiratory airflow obstruction (e.g., COPD patients), the expiratory time is typically prolonged. This results in lower I:E ratios, such as 1:4 or 1:5. A prolonged expiratory time and low I:E ratio is a cardinal sign of expiratory airflow obstruction.
Mechanical Ventilation Time Parameters
Total Cycle Time. During time-triggered/time-cycled modes of ventilator support (such as flow-limited CMV and pressure control ventilation), time parameters are set and manipulated by the clinician. The key parameter under clinician control in these modes is the total breath cycle time, or ttot. The total cycle time is computed as either (1) the simple sum of the inspiratory and expiratory times or (2) the frequency of beathing (f) divided into 60 (second/min):
For example, if a patient is receiving PCV with an inspiratory time of 2 seconds and an expiratory time of 3 seconds, his total cycle time is:
ttot = 2 + 3 = 5 seconds
Alternatively, if a patient is receiving flow-limited control mode CMV at a preset rate of 15 per minute, her total cycle time is:
ttot = 60/15 = 4 seconds
In control modes of ventilation, total cycle time determines the frequency of breathing. Specifically, the frequency of breathing equals 60 (sec/min) divided by the total cycle time (sec):
Using the above example, if a patient is receiving PCV with an inspiratory time of 2 seconds and an expiratory time of 3 seconds, his total cycle time is 5 seconds and his frequency of breathing is:
f = 60/5 = 12/min
Percent Inspiratory Time (%tI or 'Duty Cycle'). Another key time parameter used in mechanical ventilation is the percent inspiratory time (%tI) also called the 'duty cycle' (time during which the ventilatory is doing its 'duty' of delivering positive inspiratory pressure). To compute the %tI, one needs to know both the inspiratory time and total cycle time:
Using the above example again, if a patient is receiving PCV with an inspiratory time of 2 seconds and an expiratory time of 3 seconds, his percent inspiratory time:
%tI = 2/5 x 100 = 40%
Relationship of Percent Inspiratory Time to I:E ratio. Obviously, the %tI and I:E ratio are related to one another. In the above example, the %tI is 40%, while the I:E ratio is 2:3 (which reduces to 1:1.5). In both equations, the numerator (on top) is the inspiratory time). The difference lies in the denominators (bottom) of the equations. For the I:E ratio, the denominator is simply the expiratory time. For the %tI, the denominator is the total cycle time (sum of inspiratory and expiratory times). Below is a handy translation table for converting I:E ratios into %tI:
|I:E ratio
Note in the above table some I:E ratios greater than 1:1. Since these are the reverse of normal (inspiratory time exceeds inspiratory time), they are called reverse I:E ratios. Although controversial, reverse I:E ratios are sometimes used during pressure control ventilation to improve oxygenation and lower PEEP levels.
Relationship of Percent Inspiratory Time to Flow and Minute Ventilation. During flow-limited CMV, the delivered volume is a function of the inspiratory time and flow. To compute the required inspiratory flow for a patient receiving flow-limited CMV, you apply the following formula:
where is the patient's minute volume and %tI the percent inspiratory time.
A patient receiving flow-limited CMV at a rate of 15/min has a tidal volume of 600 mL. The doctor specifies an an I:E ratio of 1:4. What flow would you set to achieve these parameters?
First, compute the minute volume:
= 15 x 600 = 9.0 L/min
Next, compute/lookup the percent inspiratory time:
%tI = 20% (lookup table above)
Last, compute the inspiratory flow needed (be sure to use the decimal equivalnet for %tI)
= 9.0/0.20 = 45 L/min

It is an engagement that is evident in his earliest paintings, made while he was still at art school in Bucharest, Romania in the 1970s, and continued in his more recent series of works, such as ... 'Construction site', which were made - or more accurately, 'constructed'- after his relocation to Singapore in 1992. This dislocation from his home country of Serbia, a result of conflict in the former Yugoslavia, has been significant for Prvacki's work. It is evident in the themes and subjects that his paintings allude to, such as 'home', 'transit' and 'construction site'. These engage with the issues surrounding Prvacki's migration from Serbia, the fragmented memory of place and the reconstruction of a new life in a foreign environment and situation. It is this notion of construction and re-construction that is particularly interesting and significant in Prvacki's work. For, while the paintings are informed by his personal experiences, they also engage with the issues that surround the condition of painting today and, in so doing, result in a distinct visual language…"

Everton assistant manager Steve Round is adamant Leighton Baines will not leave the club during this transfer window.
The full-back has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park but Round says the club have not received any bids and would not welcome any.
"There are only a few days to go and I don't think anyone is leaving now that's for sure," he said. "His heart is here definitely, he is a local boy. He loves the club, loves his team-mates and loves to go out there to play and perform."
