On July 14th in Pennsylvania, a guy crossed the finish line of the Palmerton Spartan Sprint in an impressive time of 1 hour and 24 minutes. That time placed him 273rd overall. A quick time indeed given *those* hills and the small detail of the fact that in In Sept of 2001, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and given 6-8 years to live.
Jim Mullane explains, "After 12 months of intensive chemotherapy, I briefly reached full remission only to relapse a short time later. After 4 additional years and 4 different types of treatments I finally reached a sustainable remission and enjoyed living cancer-free for 5 full years. During this time my wife Lori and I expanded our family and added our two beautiful daughters: Amelia and Addyson. In early 2011 I relapsed and reentered treatment, a maintenance therapy which I have been on until recently."
It was around this time that he decided to make some big changes in his life to get his body and spirit in the best shape possible to assist in the battle of his life. "This fight was no longer about just me; it was also about my wife and our beautiful girls. From a nutritional standpoint, I focused heavily on clean eating and added tons of veggies, fruits and lean proteins to my diet. I also gave up alcohol and caffeine, sticking primarily to water and decaf green tea at night."
"From a fitness perspective, I teamed up with Rob Reddick and we enlisted the support of Jason Moss and his group, N-Motion Fitness. The purpose of this group is to motivate, inspire, and drive people to take control of their lives in a healthy way. A lot of the group members are Spartan Elite: Jason Moss, Heather Powell, Tina Landis, Justin Worthington, Jon Nicholson, Joey Parente, Harry Turner,Dave Leggitt, Brandon Seale and Keith Genko to name a few. The Group also consists of Several VPX Team Extreme members: Dan Krueger, Gretchen Krueger, John Sales and David Homa. With their motivation and support, I put the July PA Spartan Sprint on my race calendar and began the training process. We would get together every Wednesday morning and run the mountains of Valley Forge. Jason and his fellow trainers also put together N-Motion Fitness Camps which are designed to prepare participants for the challenges of OCR."
"While preparing for my 1st Spartan Race, I was going through treatment for my NHL. All scans were reporting the disease as stable. The Thursday before the PA Sprint I was scheduled for a routine treatment and check-up. Upon examination, my doctor found there were notable lymph nodes in both my neck and groin and they elected to cancel treatment and scheduled me for an emergency PET scan on Friday. The scan was scheduled for 4pm so my pre-race fueling involved an 18 Hour fast! The scan results while showing cancer progression, thankfully also showed slow growth involvement."
Working on around 2 hours' sleep for the race and showing support for all his team members that all finished in the top 50, Jim lined up in the 10.45am heat and laid waste to the course. Those that remember the course will agree that it was arguable the hardest Sprint to date. The relentless incline taking no prisoners. But he powered through and placed 39th in his age group after keeping an average pace of 16.36.
"The feeling when crossing that finish line was amazing. It felt great to conquer the mountain and share the experience with some amazingly motivational people. There are parallels between my cancer battle and a Spartan Race… Both are mentally and physically challenging and require an enormous amount of courage and strength and perseverance to overcome."
Following on from that remarkable weekend and breaking the seal on his Spartan Race journey, he explains where he is now with his treatment.
"My follow-up Biopsy showed that the Non-Hodgkins had spread and I just started a 5 month cycle of Chemo on 8/19. My thanks to the Spartan Family for providing me with the fitness tools clean eating suggestions and overall Motivation to Fight This Fight!!! AROO!!!"
Jim's positivity is plain to see, his attitude towards everything in his way highlighted perfectly when asked where he draw his mental toughness from. "That is tough to define. There are so many negative emotions to battle with a cancer diagnosis that it's easy for people, myself included at times, to spiral into a state of depression. I try to surround myself with motivational and positive influences. I feed off of their emotions when I'm out of sorts. By nature I'm a glass half full person, so I inherently try to find the positive in all situations and focus on that. I also understand that this fight I'm battling is no longer just about me; it's about fighting for Lori, Amelia and Addyson and for them I WILL NOT and CANNOT quit fighting."
But Jim is quick to make sure that his message of hope is the last thing he shares. We he agrees that any Spartan Race is tough, there is a greater message at stake than just dragging a few rocks and crawling through mud. "These races are designed to test every aspect of your being. Rest assured though, the feeling of crossing that finish line is life changing. For me the Spartan Experience is much more than the race itself; it's about a living a healthier lifestyle and providing a strong and positive influence to my family and friends."
No matter what the fight is, he offers a few final words of encouragement and hope. "No matter how tough things may be or how difficult the challenges are NEVER give up. Dig deep within yourself and find that one thing worth fighting for and focus on that during the tough times… Surround yourself with positive people who will encourage and support you through whatever is thrown your way but more importantly, pay it forward. I draw a lot of personal strength from talking to and helping others who are going through what I've been dealing with."
Jim knows what it means to, "know at the finish line." Do you?

Technical Abstract: Domestication of plants for agricultural use has brought about profound genetic change in ancestral plant species. Intensive, scientific breeding of crop varieties by modern plant breeders over the last century hs narrowed the gene pool in many crops. Many wild ancestors of modern crop plants can still be found in their natural habitats and have been collected and maintained in national and international germplasm collections. These collections offer the possibility of abundant genetic variation that may be useful in breeding programs. A new advanced backcross breeding strategy that utilizes molecular linkage map data has been developed as a means of incorporating useful genes from wild ancestors. Rice breeding programs located in China, Indonesia, Korea, Colombia, Brazil, Ivory Coast and the USA participated with researchers at Cornell University to test this new breeding method. A crossing program was initiated using high yielding local varieties and three wild ancestors of rice. Segregating progeny from backcross populations (BC2) were evaluated in the country of origin for various yield and agronomic traits and quantitative trait loci (QTL) were determined at Cornell for each breeding population. More than half of the QTLs from crosses made with Oryza rufipogon species exhibited a positive effect. In particular, genes located on chromosome one were found to positively influence height, grains per plant, and grain weight across several of the rice populations. Although results from the other two wild species are still pending, these observations indicate that wild ancestors may contribute genes that will be commonly useful to breeding programs around the world.

Spectacular UFO flyover Oregon
- Grey
- uploaded: Feb 13, 2012
- Hits: 349
Although this video is not as smooth a filming sequence as compared to past videos because of the excitement, nonetheless this UFO flyover is exceptional after weeks of few displays. There was heavy cloud cover tonight but in one location above there was a wide gap of open clear sky. I was about to continue on to the normal sighting spot but took another few seconds to peer in the opening and that's when the object moved into view. The gear was quickly unpacked and the cam was powered up as the object came overhead. It moves left to right and appears to slow in speed before moving out of view.
A friend did an analysis on a screen capture and shows a definite triangle shape. You can check it out here:

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) The middle-third of Wisconsin got the brunt of yesterday's snowstorm, as places that were expecting two-inches had a lot more. Stevens Point received the most with 10 inches. Friendship, Eau Claire, and Mosinee picked up around 9-inches. Wausau and Neillsville had around 8 and Green Bay seven-and-a-half.
Three people were killed about 1:15 yesterday afternoon, when a car and a propane truck collided in Oneida County on Highway 51 in the town of Cassian. Sheriff's officials said the snow was probably a factor, but they're still investigating.
In Marathon County blowing snow was blamed for a chain-reaction crash involving about 20-vehicles on Interstate-39 near Knowlton, north of Stevens Point. Three people were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. Northbound I-39 has since re-opened.
Winds hit 55-miles-an-hour in Sheboygan. In the Appleton area, planes were grounded yesterday afternoon at the Outagamie County Regional Airport in a battle to keep runways open. The Central Wisconsin Airport at Mosinee had two flights canceled, and a few others were delayed. Lesser amounts of snow fell in the northern and southern thirds of Wisconsin.
The Madison and Milwaukee regions had about 3-to-4 inches. Another round of cold air moved in after the snow headed east.
Highs today are expected to be in the teens throughout Wisconsin under sunny skies. It's supposed to be warmer tomorrow, with more snow statewide.

A group of thieves in Central Texas are breaking into post office mailbox lockers and stealing over-sized packages.
So far, they've robbed post offices in Waco, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove and Belton as well as many other surrounding cities.
According to police, the robberies have been taking place since before Christmas with the latest happening just last Friday. The thieves are walking right into local post offices, prying open the over-sized mailboxes and stealing packages in broad daylight.
Police say that the robberies began on December 20, and they've been happening at cities all around Central Texas ever since. Authorities believe that the robberies aren't being done by just one person, but rather a group of individuals who are specifically targeting smaller post office locations.
"That saddens me to think that people can't even have the respect to leave things that are in a federal building alone without taking things," Harker Heights resident Sandra Holzmann said.
The mailbox lockers the thieves are breaking into are used for packages that won't fit inside normal-sized P.O. boxes, and police say they're having a hard time actually identifying the thieves because, so far, none of the locations that have been hit have had security cameras in the lobbies where the thefts are happening.
"It's very upsetting," Holzmann said. "Especially in a community like this where people are sending packages back and forth to their loved ones all the time, and you wonder, "Did they get it? Have they received it?" I would think it would be very upsetting to everyone."
Inspectors with the United States Postal Service have taken over the investigation, and they say that many local post offices are now setting up security cameras in their lobbies in hopes of catching the criminals.

Denny Hamlin brushed the confetti out of his hair. He even had to spit out a few stray pieces that had floated into his mouth.
For Hamlin, the celebration at Homestead-Miami Speedway was a satisfying way to end a difficult racing season.
Hamlin won NASCAR's final race of the season, the Ford EcoBoost 400, and was savoring every moment in Victory Lane, looking at the fireworks above him, the flashbulbs coming from the crowd and being showered with those massive amounts of confetti.
To win Saturday, Hamlin averaged 130.693 miles per hour in his No. 11 Toyota and edged out pole-sitter and second-place finisher Matt Kenseth. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was third and Hamlin walked away with $322,350.
When something is so elusive and so hard to come by, you want to grasp it tightly and not let go. That's what Hamlin was doing.
Finally, Hamlin was all smiles. Just as important, he no longer was winless in 2013.
"It was just an amazing drive," Hamlin said of the victory. "What I love about this win is that it means more because of going through the bad times."
Those bad times included a compression fracture to Hamlin's back sustained in a racing accident.
"It's tough when you go through a corner and you can't feel the car because of lightning bolts of pain," Hamlin said of the injury's aftermath.
He was even warned of paralysis if he was in a wreck, which obviously is one of the hazards of being a race-car driver. He never considered quitting, although frustration was usually a passenger with him in the car when competing.
"It's been a horrible year," he admitted. "I was going to be counting down the laps. You hate to say you give up, but you kind of concede the fact that you weren't going to keep the streak of a win for every year in your career alive."
The back injury caused Hamlin, 32, to miss four races this season, although he admitted there were other factors for the dismal results. His statistics going into Sunday's race: 31 starts, five poles, zero wins, three top fives, seven top 10s and eight did-not-finish. His best race was a second at Darlington.
All those numbers added up to disappointment.
"I really never got a feel of the car that I was comfortable enough to go up and race for wins," he said.
"It's hard to find the motivation to perform at 100 percent when you're trying to find yourself ... really, when you feel like you're not racing for anything."
That attitude, Hamlin said, is hopefully changing.
"As bad as this year has been, now we can take a little solace in this finish. I feel like there's no reason why we can't shoot out of the gates in 2014."
Then Hamlin summed up Sunday's triumph:
"This does so much for our confidence. It makes me appreciate the opportunities I have. I think this does so much for us emotionally ... knowing that we can get back to the top."

In this article
Will my child enjoy a farm holiday?Staying on a farm can be brilliant fun for your child. He'll love a taste of country life, watching cows being milked, feeding the lambs and collecting eggs.
It may also be a rare chance for your child to see farm animals, and discover the smells and sizes of pigs, sheep, cows, chickens and horses.
Not all farm holidays are on working farms, though. You may be able to stay in converted barns or restored farm cottages. These often have shared facilities, such as a play area or swimming pool.
What should I think about before I book a farm holiday?Firstly, whether you and your child will actually like the countryside and the smells of a farm! Most farms are likely to be in rural areas, not particularly close to shops and leisure facilities.
It can be quite a busy holiday too, as most farm holidays are self-catering. Some farms may have good bed and breakfast accommodation, though.
Do think about what sort of farm holiday your child will enjoy:
- If you want your child to experience farm life then look for a working farm.
- Ask what animals there are so you can prepare your child for what to expect.
- Find out how your child can get involved with farm life, for example if he can help with feeding or egg collecting.
- Check to see if there are farm tours on a tractor and trailer, and whether the farmer will have time to show you round a combine.
You'll need child-friendly accommodation, and if your baby is on the move, find one with a secure garden.
Think about what you can do in the evenings, too. There may be somewhere he can play outdoors in the summer. If you're on a farm in the winter, it gets dark very early and your child may need more entertainment. Find out if toys are provided, and if not, bring plenty with you.
If you are pregnant, don't visit a farm with sheep during lambing season, which is typically January to April. Sheep can pass infections to humans and these can harm you and your unborn baby (NHS 2009). Be particularly careful to steer clear of newborn lambs and anything that may have come into contact with ewes or lambs, such as boots and coats.
How can I get the best from a farm holiday?Find the right farm for your family
If your little one is outgoing and loves to be involved, you'll need a farmer enthusiastic about sharing his time and animals. Phone and chat to the farmer first and ask how much freedom your child will have and what he'll be able to help with.
Pack the right clothes
Bring wellington boots for everyone. Your child (and you!) need clothes that are fine to get messy in. You will all want to play in the mud and the straw, stroke the animals and explore.
Try to time your holiday
It's good to go when there's something interesting happening. The winter can be cold and pretty dull on a farm. Spring is best for baby lambs, late spring is sheep shearing and hay time, while high summer is harvest with lots of machines to watch. Also check if there are special events at your chosen farm.
Think about safety
Your little one may be frightened of the animals if he hasn't seen many before. He may have hysterics at the sheep and cows and barking dogs until reassured by you. He may even find squelchy mud rather alarming until he gets used to it.
You will need to keep a very close eye on your child who will be fascinated by gates and machinery. If it's a working farm, it is up to you to keep him out of mischief.
Before you go, read books about farms and farm animals so your child has some idea what to expect. He'll love it even more if he can look forward to seeing horses and cows and chickens and sheep. Maybe there will be a pet corner too, with rabbits and guinea pigs.
Do try and enjoy the local countryside. You may need a back pack rather than a pushchair for a proper ramble, and do listen out for traffic. What appears to be a quiet country lane may actually be popular with speeding motorists.
And finally:
- do leave farm gates shut if you found them that way
- don't feed animals without asking
- don't drop litter
- do remember your camera!

Zombies & Tyrants were removed from RE5!
The zombies were changed to Majini because the developers believed another zombie-filled game might not be able to hold it's own through to the very end. Group attacks and organized assaults would not have been possible with zombies.
Anyways I'm currently toiling away at what should be the last Udon book review for the week; The Art of Resident Evil 5. It's an amazing book. Look for the review tomorrow.
As much fun as these reviews are to write; facts are facts. Book reviews on a videogame websites tend to get overlooked. That's why I'm taking this bit of info I gleaned from The Art of Resident Evil 5 and posting it here. I think it's interesting enough to point out to you non-book review reading members of the internet audience.
The back of The Art of Resident Evil 5 features tons of words and pictures that describe material that was cut from the game. Traditional "Romero-style" zombies, a revamped version of the Tyrant, and revision of the hallucination scares that die-hard Resident Evil fans know from the pre-release version of Resident Evil 4(commonly known as Resident Evil 3.5) were all planned for the title at one point or another. There's tons of other stuff that was also cut from the game.
Makes you wonder how much of Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS is adapted material that was originally planned for Resident Evil 5. We know the game will have good old puking zombies again, maybe that other stuff will make the cut too?
DO YOU THINK RE4 and RE5 would have been better off with REAL zombies?

New Famitsu market research data for the Japanese video game industry revealed that about 229,000 used copies of Biohazard 5 for the PlayStation 3 were sold in 2009. New copy sales in the same year amounted to 508,959 copies, meaning that roughly 44% of those new copies were eventually sold back to trade-in shops.
To put the data into context, gamers in Japan have a higher incentive to resell their games to used game dealers than their Western counterparts because Japanese games retain a relatively high value for the first few months after launch. The trade-in stores give the option of receiving either store credit or cash for games, with a mere 10% subtraction for cash. Japanese trade-in standards are also much stricter than in the U.S. Any sort of blemish will reduce the value of a game, so often used games in Japan look as good as new, reducing the incentive to buy new. Short games and games with little replay value are also traded in very quickly, as are games deemed not very good.

Positions for Postural Drainage
Last Revised: February 15, 2013
Author: Healthwise Staff
Medical Review: Adam Husney, MD - Family Medicine & Nancy Greenwald, MD - Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Postural drainage is getting in positions that make it easier for mucus to drain. Chest physiotherapy is gently "clapping" parts of the body to remove mucus from the lungs. They are often used together in conditions such as cystic fibrosis or a spinal cord injury (SCI) to help loosen and remove mucus from the lungs. When mucus collects in your lungs, it increases your risk for lung infections, such as pneumonia.
Following are general instructions for chest physiotherapy and postural drainage. Talk to your doctor about the positions you should use and how long how to do it.
Morning is the best time to do postural drainage, because it helps clear mucus that has built up during the night. It may also be done just before bed to decrease nighttime coughing. Do not do it soon after a meal, because this may increase the chance of vomiting.

The Wine Advocate
The name of the winery comes from the nickname given by the people of Rasteau to the black penitent in the 17th century who wore long black coats and own the farm at the time. In Occitan, Escaravaille means beattle.
The Domaine des Escaravailles belongs to the Ferran family for now three generations as it was brought by Gilles Ferran's Grandfather, Jean-Louis Ferran in...Read More About Dom. des Escaravailles
Rasteau is its own appellation when it comes to vins doux natural (sweet wines) but is only a Côtes du Rhône Village when it comes to dry wines (red, white and rose). As an appellation, the sweet wines produced are almost all Grenache-based and red to brown in color. Similar to Beaumes de Venise, but closer in style to the sweet stickies of Australia. Also known as Rancio. As a Cotes du Rhone Village, Rasteau produces excellent wines, some as high quality as any Rhone AC.
The Rhone region of France has a delightful selection of red varieties. There are 22 grapes allowed in the Rhone AOC, about half of them red. Most of these varieties are used as secondary blending partners, often comprising less than 10% of the blend. The primary red players of Rhone blends are Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. Most wines from the Southern Rhone use Grenache as their...Read More About Rhone Red Blends

Before the 2015 Marion County Distinguished Young Woman was announced, Bethany Spalding turned to Rachel Gootee.
"She said, 'You better give me a big hug when you win,'" Gootee recalled.
Even with that bit of foreshadowing, Gootee said she was surprised when her name was called Saturday night at Marion County High School.
In addition to winning the overall title, Gootee also won Be Your Best Self, preliminary scholarship, self-expression and talent awards.
Ricky L. Garrett of Lebanon was arrested following a car and foot chase Monday evening.
Garrett was supposed to start serving a three-year sentence in June, but did not turn himself in as ordered by the court, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

When smartphones first came out, the number of low-income families and individuals who purchased those devices surprised many people in the cellular industry.
Eventually, they realized those devices offered a way to access the Internet at a lower cost than buying a computer and paying for in-home service, according to Hood Harris, president of AT&T Kentucky.
That connectivity also meant more opportunities — more ways for anyone to search for jobs, send emails and learn about the world around them.
There's an old saying that goes: "Only time will tell."
For the 68 Jamboree, time has been extremely gracious.
For the last four and a half years, the 68 Jamboree, which is four miles outside of Lebanon, has been a venue for country musicians from near and far.
William Weatherford, 86, and Libby Myers, 75, opened the 68 Jamboree on Dec. 12, 2009, as a place for people who do not drink but still want to have a good time. The family oriented location is alcohol, smoke, drug and weapons free.

Marion County Public Schools have more time to respond to a lawsuit filed by parents who have accused district employees of abusing special needs children.
But the case might be resolved through mediation.
The complaint was filed June 12 in Marion Circuit Court on behalf of Paul and Virginia Boone of Lebanon, Elizabeth J. Johnson of St. Francis and Stacey Hall of Lebanon. They are all parents of special needs children who attend or have attended Marion County High School. Hall is also the former principal of the high school.
In three of five categories, MCHS posted its highest scores since the Kentucky Department of Education required all high school juniors to take the test.
That includes an overall average of 19.5.
"I wish it was across the board with every area, but it's basically in three of the five areas, we've had the highest ACT scores. And the biggest one we're looking at is that composite score," Marion County High School Principal Mike Abell said.
The Marion County Board of Education has scheduled a special-called meeting for 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 4, at the board of education office, 755 E. Main Street in Lebanon.
The agenda includes an executive session pursuant to KRS 156.557(4) regarding preliminary discussions relating to the evaluation of a superintendent.
According to the agenda, after the executive session, the board will give its summative evaluation of Superintendent Taylora Schlosser.

Important considerations on what makes jewellery valuations highly important
Having your favourite jewellery valued can be quite an important aspect to conduct for a number of reasons. It is extremely vital to understand what your priced possessions are worth. In fact, if you need jewellery insurance for special pieces of ornaments then it is crucial to get the diamond piece insured. This is quite evident for availing engagement ring valuations as it is not uncommon for specific jewelleries such as these. It is important to attain a diamond grading report from such valuation providers. These are also known as a diamond certificate. Such valuation reports are created at the gemmological lab which lists the details of the diamond like its cuts, clarity, colour and even carat.
Jewellery values on the other hand actually evaluate the piece of jewellery completely. It provides a value for the ornaments as well. The professionals will look at the material pieces, diamond, gems and even other aspects of the jewellery. You will also receive an insight into the value of the jewellery. The valuation is not a science so you may not get the same results from two different professionals. At times, the valuation from some valuers may be just a little inflated. In such cases, it works in advantage of the seller. They will usually claim that you're purchasing the jewellery in an appraised value, which is of course true in most cases. Just like the prices of certain precious metals like gold and silver tend to rise each year, even the valuation of diamond can get inflated depending on the quality of materials that you have according to jewellery valuations Ireland.
It is a great idea to ask for documented valuation certifications which is crucial for insurance claims. Many people get their precious jewelleries insured which is also quite important. It can certainly increase the valuation benefits so that it can become the prized possession that you have. Due to the market fluctuations of gold, silver and other metals it can be that your jewellery can lose its value. But given the current scenario, it will only keep increasing from time to time. With such benefits you can get great benefits of attaining better insurance as well. So, Jewellery valuations Dublin will be able to make you understand how much the diamond jewellery is raised in valuation.
The gemmologist or other professionals in the field are responsible for providing a detailed report about the jewellery valuation. They will state the proper value of the ornamental piece. So whether it's the engagement ring valuations or even other such ornaments you can be sure to understand how much the jewellery is valued. The colour, cut, material and most importantly the clarity is what gets depicted in the certification.

City street crews have been tracking this storm right along with the meteorologists.
Cedar Falls Public Works have had trucks already out putting down a salt brine to pre-treat the roads. It takes a full eight hours to get that brine applied to priority streets.
They say the timing of this storm helps because they can plow streets late Thursday night into Friday morning before rush hour.
Official with Cedar Falls Public Works plan to issue a snow emergency. That means people need to move their vehicles off the streets or you could be ticketed and towed.
If vehicles are not moved, it just makes extra work for the plow drivers. They say they expect to issue a snow emergency Thursday night.
"Makes it difficult for the trucks first of all and large equipment to pass as they're plowing to get as close as they can to the curb and when they have to go around the cars it makes it difficult and not only that once they follow up with a vehicle was parked there and it's moved then we have to go back and plow again," said Brian Heath, Operations & Maintenance Division Manager.
The city plows in Cedar Falls have also been assisting the city of Hudson. They have taken some of their trucks over there to apply their brine mixture to the streets.

Assassin's Creed II (Xbox 360)
Fairly late in Assassin's Creed II, you have to enter a tournament. You're fighting a series of one-on-one battles, mano-a-mano. But then the sponsor cheats and the rules change. Here come four guys at once, and they're using their weapons. In any other game, this would be one of those difficult scripted missions that you have to replay a few times to win. After all, it's late in the game and the developer intends to throw some tough challenges in your way before you get to the end.
Not in Assassin's Creed II. You have come far enough that protagonist Ezio Auditore is the consummate bad-ass. You've brought him from privileged fop to hardened action hero. You know his moves. You know his weapons. You have even dressed him. The fight is over pretty quickly. Maybe you did some sort of fancy assassin-jitsu where you snatched a guy's axe and then buried it in his skull, all in one fell swoop. Worst-case scenario was that you might have had to take a drink of medicine on the way to slaughtering these four guys. Whatever you did, it looked awesome.
A winner is you!
There's a certain lack of dramatic tension in Assassin's Creed II when it comes to these battles, and that's OK. This is not a fighting game. This is no Devil May Cry, built to frustrate you and hone your skills. It's no Batman: Arkham Asylum, where you have to carefully judge threat levels and make tactical choices. It's not even an Assassin's Creed. This is you making an action-movie scene unfettered by too much gameplay. It recalls the heyday of Errol Flynn -- when the good guy won all the fights easily because he was the good guy -- but coupled with the unparalleled thrill of post-"Matrix" fight choreography.
What makes this work is that the fighting is just one piece of Assassin's Creed II. It does not occupy a central place. It exists alongside and equal to the stealth, the climbing, the collecting, the setting, the graphics, the animation, the sound, the artwork and the interface. This is game design at its best because it understands how to combine various elements without giving too little or too much attention to any one of them. It's a balancing act every bit as skilled as Ezio perched atop the crucifix on a cathedral overlooking the majesty of Renaissance Italy. And it's just as awe-inspiring.
Whereas the first game was an amazing tech demo in which the various elements didn't quite gel -- the balancing act was lopsided, unable to find its footing -- this game uses everything in the service of a single admirable goal: to create a generous, forgiving, spectacular, exciting, vast, never-before-seen, unforgettable open world that can and should be recommended to anyone.
Life in Venice
It's also the most vivid virtual living world you can visit. Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV comes close, but it doesn't have the haunting, dreamlike quality of these historical places, like postcards brought to life. Liberty City doesn't have the breathtaking spectacle of grand palaces and delicate cathedrals and simple flooded lowlands. It doesn't have sailing ships and troubadours and the soft plop of your hand on stone or the unmistakable scrape of a boot on a terracotta tile. It doesn't have Venice. I have never in my 20 years of playing videogames visited a virtual place so lovely as Venice.
Part of why Venice is so lovely is that Ubisoft's Montreal studio has once again worked its technical magic. But also part of what makes it so lovely is that the developers know how to move you through the world, methodically unfurling new places, new tricks, new moves, new vistas. It's no coincidence that the opulence of Venice follows a relatively unremarkable coastal village, gorgeous in its own way, but brown and rustic. Assassin's Creed II constantly calculates how best to reveal things. It's a skillfully built action game and platformer that deserves to be mentioned alongside Crackdown, Saints Row, Ratchet & Clank and Super Mario Galaxy. We knew Ubisoft's Montreal studio was full of technical wizards. We didn't know they were this hip to what has made great games so good.
A view to a bunch of kills
As Ezio goes from assassination to assassination, the game doesn't care much whether they hang together. They don't, which is too bad considering the story has such a strong opening. It doesn't help that Ubisoft decided not to heavily script the assassinations like it did in the first game. This means many of the villains don't stand out any more than chasing down some random pickpocket on the street. (There are a few ill-advised scripted sequences. The drive out of Florence is one of the clumsiest things I've had to do all year.) On the plus side, there are very few instances of having to guess what you're supposed to do. It's almost always clear. Just jump on the highlighted guy to kill him and then run from the guards. Assassination for Dummies.
The more memorable bits of Assassin's Creed II's story are easy to miss. As you discover hidden glyphs, which are a great incentive to climb around the game's lovely, lovely landmark recreations, you can solve puzzles that unlock snippets of film. These gradually string together a mysterious short movie about ? well, I only got about half of them by the time I finished the storyline. As near as I can tell, it's like some sort of weird Zapruder take on ancient myth. The bits of info provided in these puzzles are eerie enough that they upstage the actual story. The Pazzi family? Bah. I want to know more of this wacky stuff about Tesla and Houdini!
Then there's the resolution, which is not quite as silly as that in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," but not for lack of trying. The climactic level is atrocious. Simply atrocious. And I really, really, really want to tell you what happens, because it would make you laugh. I want to spell out the bare facts of the end of the game, without embellishment or judgment. I want to say, "You go to W and you do X and then you find Y and you discover Z." Because we would have a grand laugh and you would ask if I was kidding. I would then tell you that I wasn't kidding. I would furthermore tell you that it all ends with the words "What the f*ck?" You would ask again if I was kidding and I would say that I'm not.
And you are??
But I won't spoil it. Ubisoft is clearly enamored of the "Lost" school of storytelling, stringing together vague and vaguely outrageous bits of info that may or may not come together; but we won't know, because by the time it does or doesn't come together, we will have forgotten the bits of info. It can be intriguing, but it doesn't make for much of a story. When a villain from the first game shows up at the end of Assassin's Creed II for a little monologuing, I wanted to interrupt him and ask if he could remind me again who he was. It's a bit embarrassing when you face your nemesis and you can't quite place him.
But an amazing open world with a game in it as good as Assassin's Creed II doesn't necessarily need a good story. This gloriously interactive, breathing marvel is leaps and bounds ahead of other videogames, and it's yet another instance of the geniuses at Ubisoft Montreal schooling the rest of the industry. Until someone else out there can take me to a place as grand as Venice, I shall think of Assassin's Creed II whenever I hear Arthur C. Clarke's axiom that any sufficiently awesome videogame is indistinguishable from magic.

Getting into the zone takes time. Every interruption takes its toll; research has shown that on average people take 23 minutes to regain the level of focus they had prior to an interruption.
You can minimize the amount of time spent regaining focus by implementing a rule where you spend half your day alone. Naturally, you can host meetings or chat with co-workers and collaborators during the other half. Collaboration software company 37Signals (authors of the bestselling nonfiction book, Rework) write:
Set up a rule at work: Make half the day alone time. From 10am-2pm, no one can talk to one another (except during lunch). Or make the first or the last half of the day the alone time period. Just make sure this period is contiguous in order to avoid productivity-killing interruptions.
This type of practice isn't necessarily restricted to the workplace; rather, this is even easier to implement (and perhaps more effective) for freelancers. By spending less time regaining focus, and you'll have more time to build awesome things.
As we free up more time and increase our per-hour output, we can easily exhaust our physical, mental and emotional energy by working longer and harder. To help manage our energy, blogger Penelope Trunk suggests re-imagining our time by splicing it into engaged time vs. unengaged time:
People actually don't mind working long hours when they are engaged. Burnout is not a result of how much work you're doing but what type of work you're doing. So instead of organizing time into work time and personal time, you could organize it into time when you like what you're doing and time when you don't like what you're doing. This is actually my big gripe with Tim Ferriss. He says he only works a 4 -hour week, but he really means he only does four hours a week of work that is not engaging to him.
And as the gray area between work and life becomes ever murkier, this can be a great mindset to help find your balance. If you have high-pressure life events that can't be avoided, it might be a good idea to reschedule that big presentation or huge project deadline for another day (or vice versa).
Being an entrepreneur can mean a demanding, unpredictable schedule; spreading oneself way too thin; and trying to pull off tremendous, seemingly impossible feats. This sometimes leads to burnout, and even if we don't want to admit it, unhappiness. Matthew Toren penned a piece for Entrepreneur about habits of healthy, happy, and wise entrepreneurs. One of the best practices that leads to happiness? Setting and enforcing boundaries. Sounds obvious, but definitely easier said than done when you're trying to please everyone from employees to spouses. Toren recommends:
For example, if you commit to your partner that Friday night is date night, you have to enforce the boundaries of your business creeping into your Friday nights. If you set the boundary that every morning from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. you're at the gym, you can't let your staff infringe on that boundary with early morning meetings.
Boundaries are really about discipline. Exercising our power to stick to our word and values helps to minimize conflict, guilt, and that doing-too-much mentality.
For many creatives, finding new clients can be challenging, and well, a real drag when all we want to do is work on our next masterpiece. Alex Mathers of Red Lemon Club developed a list of 50 ways for creative people to land clients. A creator himself, the list is both practical and creative-centric. Here are a few of his suggestions:
10. Shoot a behind the scenes film of your workspace and share it online.
15. Give a free talk on something that would truly benefit your target prospects and encourage people to connect with you at the end.
32. Create a free web-zine using collaborative writers on a topic of interest to prospects that generates leads for all of you.
34. Create a written tutorial on something you're uniquely good at and share it online.
We have to face the facts: creatives, we're also business people. Luckily, we have a unique advantage: creative energy that we can harness to land clients in innovative ways that align with our strengths. What better time than now to pick a new tactic from Mathers' list and implement it with creative gusto?
Research over the last decade has shown that there are proven methods for sparking creative insights. If you want to be more creative, author and researcher Jonah Lehrer explains at The Wall Street Journal, you'll simply need to coax your brain into it. Lehrer gives us 10 tips on how to do just that, here are some of our favorites:
Get Groggy: According to a study published last month, people at their least alert time of day—think of a night person early in the morning—performed far better on various creative puzzles, sometimes improving their success rate by 50%.
Daydream Away: Research led by Jonathan Schooler at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has found that people who daydream more score higher on various tests of creativity.
Think Like A Child: When subjects are told to imagine themselves as 7-year-olds, they score significantly higher on tests of divergent thinking, such as trying to invent alternative uses for an old car tire.
Laugh It Up: When people are exposed to a short video of stand-up comedy, they solve about 20% more insight puzzles.
While creativity has been viewed as magical concept for centuries, research like that Lehrer points to shows that it's little more than a series of cognitive tools our brains use to solve problems. Learning how to hone those skills (as Lehrer explains) means we can spark it in ourselves and our work whenever we need it most.
In filmmaker Werner Herzog's book A Guide for the Perplexed, he describes his ideation process and how he selects which concept to develop first:
The problem isn't coming up with ideas, it is how to contain the invasion. My ideas are like uninvited guests. They don't knock on the door; they climb in through the windows like burglars who show up in the middle of the night and make a racket in the kitchen as they raid the fridge. I don't sit and ponder which one I should deal with first. The one to be wrestled to the floor before all others is the one coming at me with the most vehemence.
When Herzog is overwhelmed with ideas, he selects the concept most avid in his mind. From there he works it until completion before moving on. He describes finishing a project like having a weight lifted from his shoulders. It's not necessarily happiness, but an ease of ending one thing before starting the next. However your ideas find you, make sure you finish through to completion – whether that means writing it down in a notebook or following it through to realization.
When we see the impressive work of others, it's tempting to change our game plan to follow theirs in our fear of being left behind. However, Todd Henry, founder of Accidental Creative, has learned that due to unique passions, skills and experience, we each have our own path to follow. Henry advises embracing the motto of one of his runner friends:
…the most important mindset principle for success in competitive running, especially in endurance races, is twofold: stay focused on the ground immediately in front of you, and work your plan.
Don't sacrifice your drive because you are comparing your work-in-progress with someone else's finished product. As Henry states, "Run your race. Execute your plan. Do your work, not someone else's."

Washington – Two years after undergoing surgery on his right thumb, Matt Diaz has had a similar problem crop up again. The Braves placed Diaz on the 15-day disabled list Saturday and activated reliever Jonny Venters from the disabled list, in the hopes that rest will allow Diaz to avoid surgery again.
But an MRI taken Monday revealed two foreign bodies in his thumb – which could be similar to fragments of a palm frond he had removed in 2010. Diaz said they will have to be surgically removed at some point, but he and the Braves are hoping to put off surgery until after the season.
"If we can get it calmed down and the infection down, I might be able to finish out the year," said Diaz, who has been treated with topical anti-inflammatories and a course of antibiotics.
If Diaz were to need surgery now, he'd miss two months and likely the rest of the season.
"That'll probably be last-case scenario," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Hopefully it doesn't come to that. That's a big piece for us to lose."
Diaz said he had been symptom-free for two years until June 10 when he felt some numbness on a base hit against Toronto's Ricky Romero, then pain swinging at an inside pitch from Darren Oliver later in the game. Diaz has been trying to manage it for the past seven weeks but aggravated it Sunday when he got jammed against the Mets.
Diaz has been trying to play wearing two thumb guards, but by Friday afternoon in Washington he struggled to grip a bat. He did not play in the 11-inning marathon against the Nationals.
"I was really mad at myself for the last five innings," Diaz said. "'You wuss, you should be in there. Go tell Fredi you can hit.' I'm trying to grab a bat and put my thumb (around) behind it. I'm so mad the whole time, and then we shook hands and (Jason) Heyward gave me a pretty firm high five and I almost went to the ground. I was like 'No, that was a good decision not to play.'"
Diaz believes the problem dates back to a day in 2006 when he was clearing palm fronds in his yard in Lakeland, Fla. It didn't start causing him trouble until it got infected in 2009 and he had to miss the final three games of the season.
"It's one of those things that stinks the timing of it," said Diaz, who's hitting .222 with two home runs and 13 RBIs in 51 games this season for the Braves. "It's been bothering me for a while. Trying to play through it, I have not been effective."
The Braves have already been on the lookout for bench help and this may expedite that search over the next several weeks.

Better yet, bring up power hitting 1B Mejia for the RH hitter off the bench. 21 HR's and a .300 avg. Deserves a chance.

Diaz has been a good bench player in the past, has had a rough go of it this yr.
He is not fancy in the OF and not the most athletic but he really does not embarrass himself. He tries, and has made the most of his ability.
July 21st, 2012

Wren: Hang on to the kid pitchers: Minor, Delgado, and Teheran. Trade Hanson or JJ or both for a rental such as Dempster or someone else. Greinke is not coming here. He has been offered 100 mil for 5 years. Braves obviously shouldn't try to match this. Too much.
Bring up Jordan P or Mejia to replace Diaz on Monday. Send Avilan back down to get back to 12 pitchers.

Don't get too excited. Brave lose next two game and leave 3 & 1/2 out once again. Team is too cheap to trade for or sign a proven top notch starting pitcher. Uggla needs to be traded TODAY! Put Prads at 2nd and trade for a power hitting left fielder.
July 21st, 2012

C'mon Col.Johnson or is this another worse game you managed, at least you took the fall, & said you wasn't gonna sleep after that one. Fredi cap tipped ya'll plenty earlier dis' year, just want you to show fredi you're appreciation for coach'n da bravos up so far.

How Uggla was a starter in the All Star game is a mystery, along the lines of how George W. Bush ever got elected president, or Bristol Palin gets TV shows. I agree, he must go. As for "DYE-ass", don't let the door hit you on your dyeass on the way out. BTW, you name is DEE-ahs, you wannabe!

The hatred for a team 1.5 games out of first is astounding. Calm down about firesales. Yes, it would be nice to pick up a bench bat or a 4th starter, but no need to mortgage the future for rentals.
July 21st, 2012
5:47 pm
So Fredi thinks Matty D is a "big piece for us to lose"? Man, the guy just loses more and more credibility with me every time he opens his mouth. Diaz is at best a small cog in the machine, at worst an expendable and easily replaced bench player used in only very specific situations.
July 21st, 2012
5:50 pm
The braves mgt. must really hate constanza not to recall him.
What does he have to prove? lifetime .300 in minors and .291 in majors and makes things happen on a positive note on bases and on defense.

Diaz should have been let go months ago. He is not producing anything on this team. Hedidn't do anything lat year and is not getting it done so far this year. There has to be better players out there who the brave could pick up that will put together a string of hits. I say cut ties now and put someone productive in that spot.
July 21st, 2012

Poor MattyD, this just stinks! I know everyone is going to say he doesn't matter but he really does, he is a great teamate and has made himself a very good LF. Get well and come back ASAP Matty!

Don't forget folks, Matte was hitting .300 when this injury happened. He has been trying to play through it for the last 7 weeks and of course he didn't hit well. He can't even grip the bat. This is the same thing he did 2 years ago. When Matte is healthy he is a solid .300 hitter and a force against tough lefties!
July 21st, 2012
9:48 pm
Lobosolo tends to be a douche…But I agree with he/she/it regarding Diaz
July 21st, 2012
11:19 pm
The Atlanta bench has been really unproductive. The Braves are LAST in the NL in pinchhitting, with a .160 BA. (For the NL as a whole, pinchhitters are hitting .240). The bench players have done very little to help the club, except for Ross. Dias may be a nice guy, but he has done VERY little to help the team, either this year or from when he was obrained from Pittsburgh last year. The club REALLY needs some RH hitting for the bench. Uggla had ONE good game and now has returned to his former awful self. He is NOT the RH power guy Atlanta was seeking.

Someone brought up how Matt pronounces his last name–"DYE-az" vs. "DEE-az." America is full of Anglicized (or just plain changed) last name pronunciations. Let's open with Jordan: we had Shug JER-dan and Michael JOR-dan. In baseball, one of many conundrums is the name "Gagne": we had Eric GON-yay and Greg GAG-knee both playing during the 1990's.
And if anybody can phonetically explain the spelling of St. Louis; Marc Rzepczynski, you win the gold medal!

I do think w/ Diaz out we need a RH bat. Mejia could be the answer, he was an outfielder before converting to 1B. That might give him some versatility to play 1B or LF.
A trade for a righty like Ty Wiggington or even Reed Johnson might work as well, and not cost much of a prospect.
July 22nd, 2012
1:03 pm
With the way these guys are paid, you'd think they'd take precautions, like wearing thick workgloves when handling sharp palm fronds. Some high-price player got hurt when he fell off his bicycle….He shouldn't have been on one in the first place. These folks can "sacrifice" by putting off the pleasures of life until after they retire from the Sport.

The NHL and NHL Players' Association have come to an agreement on players being forced to stay home for salary cap reasons this season.
According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.com, teams are now eligible to exercise an "accelerated compliance buyout" on one player with a salary cap hit of $3 million or more before the regular season begins on Saturday.
If a compliance buyout is used this week, a team will have only one left to use next summer.
That could be good news for players such as Scott Gomez and Wade Redden, two players who are not playing this season because if they got injured, their teams could not buy them out after the season.
According to TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie, in order for a player to be bought out this week, he still must clear waivers first. He says to assume that Redden and Gomez will be put on waivers on Wednesday.
Speaking on Cybulski and Company on TSN Radio 1050, Redden's agent Don Meehan explained what this means for his client in the coming days.
"If New York exercises their rights under this agreement then Redden would be in a position where he'd be placed on waivers, and if he cleared waivers he'd then have an opportunity of accepting a buyout or being loaned," Meehan told TSN 1050. "If he accepted the buyout he'd be in a position to look to any other opportunity that he may have in the NHL for employment."
Meehan said he couldn't speculate on any interest in Redden because the defenceman is still Rangers property, but did allow his client would welcome a chance to continue his NHL career this year.
"Yes, (he) is anxious to resume play in the NHL. If the opportunity affords itself he'd very much like that."
Team will take the full cap hit on such players this season, less the $900,000 for not burying the player in the minors, but suffer no cap hit next season or beyond.
Teams would pay out 100 per cent of a player's actual salary this year and two-thirds or one-third (as applicable) over twice the remaining term of the contract and the player is free to sign elsewhere.
However, there's no actual benefit to the teams to take this plan of action other than as a favour to the player to perhaps allow them to sign with another team right away.
In the new collective bargaining agreement, teams were permitted two compliance buyouts after this season or next season.

With the exception of Councilwoman Nancy Young, the Tracy City Council has again blatantly disregarded the community's majority vote in our recent election by not appointing Ray Morelos to the council. This is the second occurrence in which the council has overridden the majority in order to seat the person of their choice and not the candidate residents overwhelming voted to represent us in city government.
Candidate Mike Maciel was the third top vote-getter in his initial race in 2006 and did not receive appointment to the council. Instead, another applicant was selected. This action was wrong then, and it is wrong today.
Unlike the actions of the Tracy City Council, our neighbor Lathrop has consistently executed due diligence in appointing the third top vote-getter to the Lathrop City Council. Paul Akinjo, the third top vote-getter there, was appointed to the Lathrop City Council to the seat vacated by Sonny Dhaliwal, who was elected to serve as mayor. The Lathrop council has seated the third vote-getter not only in December 2012, but also in December 2006, February 2006, December 2002 and January 1997. Although Lathrop is not Tracy, it remains the politically correct action to follow, given the majority vote in an election.
My remarks are not intended to be disrespectful or bitter towards Charles Manne, who was appointed this week. In fact, I personally told Mr. Manne at a December 2012 council meeting, "If you had been the third top vote-getter, I would be supporting you to be seated."
This is the honest and fair appointment process to follow in accordance with the majority vote by Tracy residents.
The action of allowing the council to select who they want and not abide by the community's majority vote must end now.
Kudos to Mrs. Young for her commitment to represent our community in a professional, fair manner. She is truly "the fresh voice of reason" on the council.
• Editor's note: Charles Manne was appointed to the City Council by a 3-1 vote Tuesday, Jan. 15. For the full story, see Page 2.

By McNeese SID Matthew Bonnette
LAKE CHARLES – Marcus Wiltz and Kelvin Bennett combined
to rush for 250 yards and a touchdown as McNeese State's offense racked up 480
offensive yards against the Southland Conference's number one defense in
Northwestern State in a 43-17 win Saturday night on Senior Night in Cowboy
The win moved No. 9 McNeese to 9-2 on the season and 5-1
in conference play. NSU fell to 5-6
overall and 2-4 in league play and saw its two-game winning streak ended.
The Demons jumped out to a 10-7 lead through the middle
of the second quarter but then the Cowboys rolled off 40 unanswered points to
secure the blowout win.
Quarterback Cody Stroud inched closer to becoming the
school's single-season touchdowns thrown leader with two on Saturday to give
him 25 for the season, two short of the record set by Kerry Joseph in
1995. He finished the game completing 19
of 30 passes for 195 yards and two scores.
Stroud's 2-yard touchdown pass to Nic Jacobs in the
second quarter extended his school record streak to 16 consecutive games with a
td pass.
NSU got on the board first when quarterback Zach Adkins
found Louis Hollier wide open in the slot that turned into a 34-yard score to
make it 7-0 just four minutes into the game.
McNeese, who has been getting some great special teams
help as of late in the return game, got some help in the punt block game on
Saturday when Jereon McGilvery scored from 20 yards out after scooping up a
Demon punt that was blocked by Deltoine Scott and tied the score at 7-7 with
13:21 to play in the second quarter.
Chris Moore connected on a 19-yard field goal to put the
Demons up 10-7 with 8:27 to play in the quarter but not before McNeese's
defense held the Demons to the three points after they took advantage of a bad
snap on a punt attempt to begin their drive at the McNeese 8-yard line.
McNeese dominated from then on.
The Cowboys outscored the Demons 35-7 the remainder of
the game and held a 380-192 offensive yards advantage from the 8:27 mark of the
second quarter.
Stroud's pass to Jacobs gave the Cowboys the lead for
good. That was followed with a 4-yard
toe-tap catch from David Bush with five seconds to play in the half to put
McNeese up 21-10 at the half.
One of the more impressive drives of the season for the Cowboys
opened the third quarter when a 1-yard plunge by Dylan Long capped off a
16-play, 83-yard drive that took 8:28 off the clock and opened up a 28-10
McNeese got another score when Wiltz ran in from 33 yards
out to complete a 7-play, 58-yard drive that took 3:38 off the clock to make it
35-10. McNeese held the ball for 12:06
in the third quarter.
Javaris Murray capped off the Cowboys' scoring with a
1-yard run with 7:00 to play in the game and after a botched hold on the
extra-point attempt, William Ryckman ran it in for the two-point conversion to
make it 43-10.
NSU got the final score of the game when Adkins found Ed
Eagan from 25 yards out with 4:35 to go.
Wiltz finished the game with 135 yards on 20 carries with
a score while Bennett added 115 yards on 10 carries. The Cowboys rolled up 285 yards on the
ground, the most allowed by Demons against a FCS school for the season.
Diontae Spencer led the team with seven catches for 66
yards and returned two kickoffs for 32 yards.
NSU was led in rushing by Daniel Taylor who had 22 yards
on three carries as the Demons ran the ball only 18 times for 70 yards. Adkins completed 19 of 33 passes for 242
yards and two scores.
The Cowboys will close out the regular season next
Saturday when they visit Lamar for a 6 p.m. kickoff.

Both sentences are valid English. The first emphasises the act of redirection, the second emphasises the cause (the click); it's entirely a matter of context as to which you should use. The emphasis is fairly mild in this case, so feel free to choose either.
The phrase "After the click" sounds very slightly off to me. I think I would normally say "After clicking" instead, since it is the act of clicking that is what we're really interested in.
I don't think there are any musts in this case - it a question of style. Personally, I prefer the second of your alternatives, but equally, there are a dozen other perfectly acceptable ways of conveying the same message.
ad infinitum...
Either are acceptable, but passive voice can be a trifle static sounding. I like @CJM's suggestion of
