MADISON (WSAU-Wheeler News) The State Capitol is in full holiday mode, with decorations that relate to almost everyone.
A tall Christmas tree was put up yesterday, a balsam fir provided two weeks ago by Jim Draeger of Antigo. The Capitol also has a traditional Nativity scene, and a menorah for Hanukkah.
Madison's Freedom from Religion Foundation has its own nativity scene that steers away from a Christian holiday and celebrates winter. It has a sign which reads "Religion is but myth and superstition." Finally, the Capitol has a pole for "Festivus," the fake holiday created on the old "Seinfeld" comedy show in 1997. It says there will be an "airing of the grievances" next to the Festivus pole on December 23rd.

Woodworker's Journal
"1. Two 9" rubber floats with handles, used for surfacing grout in tiles, are the very best for jointer and router table holds. They grip exceptionally well, never wear out and are about 1/2" or more thick. They keep your hands well away from the blades. Be sure to get the textured rubber -- smooth rubber will slip.
2. Three standard Stanley hand plane blades for hand scraping surfaces, removing glue lines. Perfect if you have glue squeeze-out in an inside box corner: you can trap the glue between two blades for a no-mess cleanup.
3. Bungee cords. Great for holding vacuum hoses, lights, ceiling-mounted fans, etc. I used a series of bungee cords to suspend a heavy headboard for a bed from the rafters while I worked on attaching the legs. There are plenty of others, but I'll stick to these three!" - PurpleHeart
"1. Drafting triangles are my most favorite. They are deadly accurate, relatively inexpensive and great for machine setups. And don't forget a drafting T-square. This is great for marking shelf dadoes to be absolutely perpendicular to the front edges, and best use is mounting drawer slides. Those really have to be perpendicular with the front edges.
2. Second most useful thing I ever got was an inexpensive electric winch from Harbor Freight. I mounted it on the ceiling. I use it to lift sheets of ply, melamine or MDF and then lower them on to a saw rack for reducing to work-sized pieces with a circular saw. I also use it for picking up assemblies that have gotten too large and heavy to muscle around. Sometimes you need to turn the piece over or around to work on it. It even worked great when I needed to get to the bottom side of the lawnmower. It also holds things up in the air when you need another pair of hands for assembly. Love that thing!
3. I like the Get-a-Grip Velcro® ties for the cords on all my power tools. They wrap the tool cord neatly. No more dragging several tools off the shelf when only one was wanted. I secretly hoped that when all these cords entangled they were trying to "mate," and I'd get a new power tool. Never happened, though. I digress. Those ties are also great for extension cords. They come in different lengths and a rainbow of colors." - Carol
2. The second is a deck of cards, thanks to Carol, I might add. They are great for shimming drawers and the small gaps that are needed for adjustments.
3. The next one is the pocket-hole jig. That little gadget has made life much easier in the shop." - Weez

A.E.C.M. said:
As I am a great fan of Agatha Christie and adore Hercule Poriot, I would have to recogmend it. Upon saying that, I did think it wasn't one of her best novels, and seemed to have quite a few elements similar to that of some of her other books. I still enjoyed it, though.

Gently exfoliating polenta cleanser
A luxuriously soft and sweetly-scented cleanser, Let The Good Times Roll has quickly become a huge fan favorite. Maize flour, corn meal and a dash of cinnamon powder gently exfoliate and leave you with a vibrant glow, and lightly hydrating corn oil helps skin to retain its moisture and elasticity. With its rich butter-caramel fragrance and velvety texture, no wonder this one is so popular!
- Rub me all over: It's gentle enough for everyday cleansing, so pop some in the shower to use all over.
- Don't take a bite! If you're tempted, try our edible Popcorn Lip Scrub instead: it shares the same sweet aroma!

"I was obsessed with Angels on Bare Skin, but a friend gave me a sample of this to try because she loves it. OMG! It smells good enough to eat! I've decided I cannot live without either Angels on Bare Skin or Let The Good Times Roll, so I just buy both and alternate using them. I use them only once a day, so as not to scrub my face too much, and use a pure castile soap cleanser for the other. My skin has stayed so clear and looks great!

Q:Is there an way to extend the shelf-life of my face wash (Let the Good Times Roll)? My pot only had a month left on it when I bought it and there's no way I can use it all in that time.
Would refrigerating or freezing it keep it good longer?
How can I tell when it's truly gone bad? I know most products are good past there marked experation date, but manufactures short mark them to be safe.Asked on 11/16/2013 by truthsdeceit

A:We would not recommend you use this product past it's expiration date, as it might have an effect on your skin. While you could refrigerate this product, it may not have an effect on its quality. Your cleanser will remain fresh for up to three months but it is up to you if you choose to use it past it's expiration date!Answered on 11/28/2013 by Anonymous
Q:Is this okay to use on oily/break out prone skin?Asked on 9/22/2013 by Chicaloo37 from La Grange,CA
3 answers
A:With the Let the Good Times Roll, it would perfectly okay to use it on acne prone skin. It exfoliates gently while making your face feel clean and soft while not causing more breakouts.
If you are looking for a cleanser that does aid with oily and blemishes would be Grease Lightning facial cleanser. You apply this directly on any break outs and with a gentle infusion of thyme, tea tree and rosemary cleans up problematic dirt and soothing aloe vera gel calms and hydrates irritated skin. Grease Lightning also works well to control excess oil, especially your T-zone.
I hope this helps!Answered on 11/15/2013 by Anonymous
A:I think so, yes! My t-zone can get pretty oily, especially in certain seasons and this cleanser has worked great on the oily parts of my face as well as the more dry areas.Answered on 10/21/2013 by Mel from USA
A:oooh yes! I have generally oily skin and will usually breakout during certain times in my cycle. The way the product includes moisturizing ingredients is enough to where I don't have to use a separate face lotion further helping my skin to not turn into a grease slick!Answered on 9/24/2013 by LD from Des Moines, IA

Last week was huge for the business of social media with Facebook's $100 billion IPO. The general excitement about the IPO was thrown a curveball when GM, the huge auto manufacturer, announced its decision to pull its entire $10 million Facebook Ads budget. GM's decision was a result of what they deemed to be the low effectiveness of Facebook Ads for their business.
Many conferences and festivals feel they must be active on Facebook. They typically promote themselves in much the same way as GM: creating content and engaging Fans. The good part about a Facebook Fan page is that there is no upfront cost…but that doesn't mean it is free. Although GM is pulling it's $10 million advertising budget, they still spend $30 million a year generating content and maintaining their accounts. I imagine with most organizations it is the same.
Facebook Fan pages are by far and away the better choice if you're looking to engage with attendees. Fan pages allow you to connect directly with your community and engage in conversations with them. You can also install Facebook Apps to your Fan page to engage your attendees even more.
I've increasingly seen conferences and festivals advertising on Facebook. While these ads may help in building awareness for events, GM's decision throws into question the effectiveness of Facebook Ads.
While Facebook Ads can work, whether it is the best use of your limited marketing budget is an entirely different question. Ben Kunz of Businessweek Magazine summarizes it best:
Facebook can be a wonderful platform for both paid advertising and social communication. It is also extraordinarily difficult to fulfill its promise.

The Fortune 100 represent the 100 largest companies in the world by revenue. This presentation summarizes how they use social media, specifically Facebook, Twitter & Blogs. Beyond the stats, there are some examples that I found useful. My personal favorite is on slide 11 discussing promotions and deals used by Walgreens and State Farm Insurance. If you don't feel like reading through the presentation, I've included highlights below and I've made bold the stats that I found particularly interesting.
How is your event using social media?
by Marvin McTaw
If you follow us on Twitter or participate in Twitter Talks then you know I am pretty skeptical on Pinterest. I've recommended most event organizers wait a year before trying to incorporate yet another network into their social media efforts. With that background, I came across this great social media cheat sheet on Pinterest today.
While it's aimed at "small businesses" most conferences, festivals and events are essentially small or medium sized businesses so the tips and tricks are applicable.
Source: readwriteweb.com via Ash on Pinterest
One of my favorite elements of the cheat sheet was the "How To Begin" as I think that's the biggest hurdle for most organizers and event marketers. I also found the diagram at the bottom be incredibly useful in understanding the relative size of the various networks.
Tell us on Facebook, Twitter or in the comments below…
What did you find helpful about this cheat sheet? Is there any additional advice you would give to event organizers, marketers or association professionals? Do you already incorporate any of the cheat sheet's advice? What was your favorite tip?
As Facebook is preparing for it's IPO they released some really interesting facts abou themselves. For example did you know:
How many of the millions of photos and billions of Likes do you think are from events like conferences and festivals?

What's In This Article?
A robust community exists for event professionals on Twitter. Even if you aren't a big Twitter user you will benefit from listening or participating in Twitter Chats (a.k.a. Twitter Talks). Twitter Chats will help you to discover thought leaders, find solutions to common problems and interact with other industry members.
This post will provide step-by-step directions and provide guidelines to help you benefit from and experience the excitement of Twitter Chats.
There are several regularly scheduled chats that exist for conference, festival, meeting & other event professionals. Some of my personal favorites are:
There is a Google spreadsheet documenting Twitter chat schedules that you can find here. Please be very careful interacting with this document as it is an open, wiki-style document that anyone can edit. Any additions, changes or deletions you make will be saved to the document.
List of All Twitter Chats
Twitter chats require the use of a hashtag and keyword (e.g. #keyword). One of the best ways I've found to automatically attach the relavant hashtagged term and block out all other Twitter randomness is with TweetChat.com. TweetChat is free and simple to use. Sign in with your twitter account, enter the relevant keyword (e.g. eventprofs) and you're ready to begin.
The most important person in any Twitter chat is the moderator. They are responsible for managing the community which typically includes, but is not limited to,
Suggestion: Feature The Moderator
It's usually much easier to follow the discussion when you highlight the moderator in your user settings. You can do this buy using user controls in TweetChat. To do this
Twitter chats can involve very active messaging by participants. This can cause you to very quickly pollute your followers' timelines. This usually results in them un-following you. To prevent spamming your followers, you should always begin your messages with an "@username" where the "username" is the moderator's or specific respondent's twitter user name. These messages will not appear in all of your followers' timelines and are only visible to users who also follow the referenced user's account.
The moderator will usually begin the chat by asking everyone who is there for the chat to introduce themselves. Even if you only plan on listening, you should introduce yourself to let others know you are there.
After introductions, the moderator will usually begin by asking a question. The questions usually follow a numerical format: Q1, Q2, Q3…etc. You should always respond in similar fashion (i.e. A1, A2, A3…) when responding to a question. This will help others to understand what you're referring to.
Users may say something that you wish to respond to during the Twitter chat. To engage the user, you should @username reply them in the chat room to respond to them. This will give that user a special notification. It also makes it easier to follow that "branch" of the conversation.
Rule: Re-tweet With Caution
You may often feel compelled to re-tweet something a user has said. I generally do not recommend doing this because most of your followers will have no context for what you are retweeting. It will also be near to impossible for them to figure it out later on. Also, many people who participate in Twitter chats filter out re-tweets.
I recommend modifying your re-tweets. Remove the "RT " [space intentionally included] so that your messages start with an "@username" and adding a "+1". This will prevent polluting your followers' timelines and let the person know you agree with them or want to echo their sentiments.
Rule: Provide A Reference
The default delay in TweetChat is ten (10) seconds. The minimum delay between a response and it appearing in the chat room is five (5) seconds. A lot can happen in five seconds within the chatroom. Help others know what you're talking about by responding to the tweet in question and including a frame of reference. You can easily accomplish this by including a "re: Topic" at the start or end of your tweet.
Rule: Be Authentic
Twitter chats are not professional presentations or member meetings. They are colloquial, informal gatherings of people interested in a topic. You should always be respectful of others but do not mince your words or talk in superflous, vague language. Try and be as specific and direct as possible so users don't have to read three or four tweets to understand your points.
Rule: Be Succinct
If your points do require multiple tweets, let users know by including "cont'd…" at the end of the first tweet and beginning the following tweet with "…cont'd". This will help users to connect your Tweets to fully understand your points.
Chat moderators have a difficult and often times, thankless job. Please be sure to thank them before leaving the chat room.
Some moderators will catalogue the Twitter chats using wikis or tools like Storify. When these are released the moderator will usually publicize it's release on Twitter. You should always take a look to make sure nothing you said is mis-quoted or taken completely out of context.
You will meet incredible people by participating in Twitter chats. You should either follow these users or add them to a list.
Another great way to give back to the community is to help promote the chats you find interesting. You can do this by promoting the chats on your various social networks or sharing announcements that are relevant to the community.
Do you participate in any Twitter chats? What are your favorite Twitter chats? What is your favorite thing about Twitter chats? What do you wish was different about them? Are there any other services you use for Twitter chats?

- The Art of NOISEOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/21/2014The food was delicious, the service was excellent. The acoustic of the room are still WAY TO NOISY. I recommend you never sit in the upper level near the open kitchen where the noise from the lower level café wafts up from the lower level and fills the room.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very pleasantNotasgoodasexpectedDined on 9/17/2014A great place to take visitors before or after visiting the museum.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014Diners who don't mind loud background noise would enjoy the good food and service at this restaurant. Decaf coffee was very good. Of course it's very convenient for AGO patrons.Special Features:
- DisappointingprofemeritaDined on 9/16/2014Frank has long been one of my favourite places. I've come here with family and friends, and on my own after a solo visit to the gallery. The food used to be exceptional. Then it got simpler but stayed quirky and inventive. The last few times it's been much more ordinary. The menu looks inviting, but the dishes don't live up to their names, or prices. The last two visits were disappointing. I've had much better lobster rolls in the Maritimes, for half the price. The prix fixe menu sounded interesting but tasted ordinary. The wild blueberry salad had so few berries, I could only taste the heavy grains. The "Halifax donair" was a poor imitation of the real thing. The blueberry pie was mostly crust. Dear Frank: this is a wakeup call!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Being frank about "Frank"bentguruDined on 9/12/2014Being a regular diner-out and having lunched alone as well entertained a Good Friend at dinner at Frank I put it in the 5-star section of my downtown Toronto eateries. The beer list needs some extension; however the wine list is quite adequate. The food goes beyond excellent to superb and the service is at an equal level. Enjoy either alone or in company.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday lunchBevartDined on 9/11/2014Thursday was a perfect day. We had a wonderful visit to the Colville exhibit which was followed by an equally wonderful lunch at Frank. The food was exceptional as was the service. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his birthday as did I. The Frank has become one of our favourite restaurants and we plan to visit often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner at FrankpercytooDined on 9/10/2014We ordered the fish tacos which were dry and tasteless because they left off the magic sauce - which when it arrived didn't help much.
- 2nd and last time hereDannygirlDined on 9/7/2014They forgot my food. I had to sit for 10 minutes while my friends ate (I refused to let them have their meals get cold waiting for me), then when it finally came it was without the side of bacon I had ordered. He forgot to bring the dessert menu which I had to request after waiting for him to offer it when he took our coffee orders so our coffee was cold by the time we actually got the menus and ordered. The food just as last time was nothing special. They charge fine dining prices but it isn't fine dining. I now view it as strictly a tourist type place, people are going to go there because of the AGO so mediocre should suffice I guess. The one positive is the atmosphere is nice and the hostess was very sweet.Special Features:
- Outstanding Food & ServiceFoodforLifeDined on 9/7/2014As we entered the restaurant after seeing the Alex Colville exhibit, we were greeted by the hostess who was energetic, friendly and truly hospitable. She recommended a few dishes off the brunch menu as I sat down. The server was just as amiable and helpful with the menu. My boyfriend ordered the benny and I ordered the brisket hash, which was not your typical diner dish. This one was a feast for the eyes and the stomach. The flavours married well and the texture from the crunchy potatoes made this dish unique and extra special. The coffee was a standout too. We will definitely be back when we next visit the AGO.Special Features:
- dinner pre firsr thursday at agoViperman125Dined on 9/4/2014What better a combination than a dinner right in the ago prior to a first Thursday. An added bonus was our seating in a corner seat, and much more romantic seating position.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/3/2014We came to the AGO/Frank to celebrate my wife's birthday. We enjoyed the Colville exhibit and our dining experience at Frank. I was particularly impressed by the attentive service and quality of food.Special Features:
- Unfriendly serviceErikaDined on 8/23/2014We always eat at Frank's when we visit the AGO. This time we greeted a waitress standing by the bar when we entered (as she was the only staff person on the floor) and she very rudely nodded towards the hostess desk as if we'd committed some incredible faux pas in greeting her. Later she came to our table as our waitress. She was competent but incredibly cold and unfriendly, which colored our whole lunch experience. I don't know her name but she has short, blond hair. If I ever eat at Frank's again I would likely ask to not be served by her. We had the brunch menu— french toast and eggs Benedict— food was fine but not exceptional.Special Features:
- Fantastic spotAYoungDined on 8/22/2014We always have dinner at FRANK before attending a galley opening. Great experience every visit. The desert menu is out of this world - you just know that every item is well thought of. Also, very consistent and good quality every time.Special Features:
- Dinner at FrankQueenBDined on 8/22/2014Touring the gorgeous architecture of the Art Gallery of Ontario, taking in all the fantastic art, and having dinner or a quick bite at Frank is like a vacation from the everyday. A great experience. Take your time and savour every minute!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Way to go at the AGO!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/22/2014A very tasty lunch with friendly, knowledgable and attentive service.Special Features:
- Great Choices!Ever4FoodDined on 8/21/2014I appreciated being able to peruse the entire menu on the website before arriving. I really like to be able to consider my options beforehand--and there were great options! I enjoyed the Alex Colville Prix Fixe dinner...especially the blueberry pie/tart for dessert! The Cod Fritters were crispy and hot, although some of the cod was a litte dry, and the Cranberry Bean Succotash flavourful, with lots of al dente vegetables. My friend loved her salmon entree. We loved the ambiance of the place. Sitting under the skylight near the kitchen, we loved the light reflecting off the brilliant green iridescent tabletop. There's a great wine list, and the service was friendly and attentive. I'd go again. We had a good time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- InspiringNancyDined on 8/21/2014I'm always inspired when I dine here because I've just come from some fabulous art exhibit in the AGO. The dinning experience never fails to inspire as well!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and fine artfoodfaddieDined on 8/21/2014The ambiance is creative and worthy of the AGO. The food is always gourmet delicious. I always comment on the outstanding service. I always dine at Frank when attending the Art Gallery. It is a perfect packageSpecial Features:
- Good place for lunchsingaporeladyDined on 8/21/2014This was our first time at Franks's and we connected lunch with a visit to the AGO. The service was quick and the food was also very good. We would definitely come again if we should ever be in the neighborhood or whenever we visit the AGO. We find the place a tad noisy probably due to the open concept of the restaurant within the art gallery. It may also have to do with the fact that the place was packed during the lunch hour. I like the fact that it is an open kitchen and one could see the chefs cooking our meals.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great surprisetreasureDined on 8/21/2014Unique environment, private yet public tone, aesthetically delightful view of Toronto's character, artfully presented delicious delectables. A new favourite!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceLoveVQAwinesDined on 8/20/2014If you are attending the AGO part of the artistic experience is to eat at Frank's and review the show you just attended. Food and service were absolutely wonderful! Several years ago when Frank first opened up I was pleasantly surprised to see a great list of Canadian wines including some of our very best. What a great statement showcasing Ontario wines in Ontario's artistic show case. Today their wine list is populated with a mediocre, no, make that a poor selection of International wines with a couple of very generic Ontario Bordeax blends. Thank goodness they haven't done that to their Canadian Art Collection. Where is the leadership?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food. Beautiful Setting.JanDVIPDined on 8/15/2014Whe had a delightfull meal in this beautiful restaurant inside the Art gallery of Ontario designed by Frank Gehry. The service was also excellent It was also nice and quiet so we could enjoy the foodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great business lunchJtaylorDined on 8/7/2014This is the second time I have gone to Frank for a business lunch. The food has been amazing both times. The flying fish tacos have an amazing hot sauce, and the burger is very messy but very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lizard05VIPDined on 8/6/2014Service was outstanding and food was very good, however my only complaint was regarding kids menu. I was expecting real chicken fingers, not the frozen kind - and at $7 with no side (fries were an extra $4). Kind of ridiculous!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- willybillyDined on 8/6/2014great menu for lunch including a vegan option for one in my party - out waiter was incredibly knowledgable, efficient and friendlySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent brunch and drinksevaBDined on 8/6/2014I stopped here for a light lunch with a friend and we were not disappointed! The cocktail selection was inventive and the appetizers satisfying and the gazpacho a perfect soup for summer. Very al fresco even though we were indoors. Like!Special Features:
- Fitting of the Art GalleryOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/6/2014Business lunch on this occasion but I was very impressed with the food and service. The FRANK burger was stunning! Ground beef brisket with fiore di latte and chutney was a great combination. My guest's omelette looked light and delicious. Service was stellar too; efficient, pleasant and popped by just right to fix us up but also let us get our conversations done. Polished and professional. I'll go back for certain and this might be my new business lunch spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loving lunch at FRANKSemiRegularVisitorDined on 8/5/2014One of my favourite places is still an exceptional dining location, despite changes to the team.Special Features:
- Great lunch spotShirleygirlDined on 7/23/2014This is an excellent place for client or professional lunches. A bit expensive for a family outing. We really enjoyed it and will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MediumLorisDined on 7/18/2014The service was fantastic but the food could have been better considering there was only a couple other tables.Special Features:
- ToeTapDined on 7/17/2014The cod fritters were too salty. The flank steak was bland and the large ravioli a disappointing side. The salad was fine. In short, this was not an innspired offering for a summerlicious menu.Special Features:
- Would not returnimjeremyDined on 7/17/2014I went with my brother and wife during Summerlicious after visiting the AGO. While the AGO is great, We won't go again to the restaurant. While the food is presented very nicely, the service is excellent, and the restaurant itself is romantic it just isn't worthy of the price. The crab cakes appetizer we had were very salty. The vegan burger my wife tried was a mistake as it was not flavourful at all, but the flank steak I ordered was good.Special Features:
- Summerliscious not great...OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/17/2014Popped in for a quick lunch before going to the gallery…food was just OK. Pineapple salad was sweet and quite nice. Lake perch was disappointing. Four very small finger sizes pieces that were fried and overcooked. I usually prefer not to eat the fish skin but it would not come off. Some cookie ice-cream sandwich thing for dessert…cookie stale and hard and I couldn't really bite through it. Not great. Had a nice visit with my friend but was unimpressed with the lunch over all.Special Features:
- Good food. Terrible serviceSistersDined on 7/16/2014Service was terrible. Orders mixed up. Waited while another table ate our order. Food was very good but we will not return.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/15/2014We were entertaining friends from out of town. I was embarrassed for having spoken so well of Franks. Only the dessert was good. Service was very slow. The appetizer was call cod fritters ( plural ) what we had was one cod cake (similar to crab cake). The main course was a plateful of beans - the tiny piece of Lake Perch was the size of a sardine. That was the worst. I could have opened up a can of beans at home if that was what we wanted. The vegan bun was dry and our guest wasn't even offered a condiment. It will be a long time before we eat there again.
- Disappointed, franklyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/13/2014My first dining experience at Frank was a disappointment. While I did enjoy the cocktail that accompanied my brunch, I wish to forget the meal I ordered. Service was sloppy and the experience over all fell below my expectations. Perhaps with better service and a more varried menu I would have enjoyed my brunch more.
- Lovely brunchSarahcourtDined on 7/13/2014I took my mom for her birthday brunch. The food was delicious (franks benny and pancakes), service attentive and lovely ambiance. I found it upscale but still relaxed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful, to be FrankflyndineVIPDined on 7/12/2014First time dining at Frank and it will not be the last. Both Summerlicious and a-la-carte menu items were fairly portioned and well seasoned. Service second-to-none. We appreciated that all plates arrived at once. All courses were served at an appropriate pace. The Lake Erie perch dish was delicious but felt it could have used a bit more fish. Overall, an excellent visit highlighted by attentive and professional service.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/11/2014considering it's at the ago the decor could have been much better
- Terrible food at the AGO!goodfoodamustDined on 7/11/2014I had been to Frank previously and had really enjoyed the food. However the best descriptor for the Summerlicious July 2014 dinner I had was "horrible"! I would guess that this meal was prepared by a 1st year University student with no prior experience in cooking. The appetizer of pineapple salad contained minute portions of pineapple with some sort of wilted leaves (I could have prepared a better pineapple salad by eating it directly out of the can!). The salted cod fritters were way too salty (duh - you are supposed to soak salted cod prior to using). The entree of ocean perch was dry and unflavourful. The ice cream dessert was stale. The atmosphere plus server were good. Note: The server was very apologetic about the food!!

2 Chainz paused his Made in America Festival set for what he called a "serious moment," a move that threw his hypeman off. By then, the Atlanta rapper had divided his time nearly equally between album cuts and guest verses in order to holler through a greatest-hits set of his best punchlines. As Jay Z saw from backstage, 2 Chainz is kind of a big goofball.
"I want to have a moment of silence," he said, pausing — "for this stage because I'm killing this shit." Then, without hesitation because duh, 2 Chainz launched into "I'm Different," a song that references Craftmatics and inspired him to let out his ponytail, turn around and dip his head backwards to illustrate a key line: "Hair long, money long / Me and broke n—-s, we don't get along." (Whoa.) Turns out, 2 Chainz takes having fun very seriously.

New details on the investigation into the death of a man at a Henderson saloon.
38-year-old Robert Brantley, of Sebree, has been arrested and charged with the murder of 34-year-old Adam Hogan, of Uniontown.
Brantley was working security Saturday night at Double Dukes when an altercation with Hogan took place.
According to the citation that led to Brantley's arrest, an autopsy on Hogan indicated several injuries in his neck area that were consistent with strangulation.
In addition, statements from witnesses indicated that Brantley "choked" Hogan for a long period of time during the altercation.
The citation also states that Brantley told first responders that he "put the subject to sleep" during the alteration.
One video of the incident shows Brantley restraining Hogan by the neck or head region for over a minute-and-a-half, according to the citation.
Brantley was interviewed and arrested on murder charges Monday night.
He was released from jail on Tuesday afternoon on a $50,000 cash bond.
Brantley is scheduled to appear in court on March 11.

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
The following are the most common symptoms of breast cancer. Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain and may cause no symptoms at all. And, some breast cancers never cause symptoms or other signs of a problem until they have gotten quite large and are more likely to have spread.
These are changes that women and men should watch for:
A lump or thickening (a mass, swelling, skin irritation, or distortion) in or near the breast or in the underarm area
A change in the size or shape of the breast
A change in the color or feel of the skin of the breast, areola, or nipple (dimpled, puckered, red, swollen, or scaly)
Nipple discharge, erosion, inversion, or tenderness
A woman (or man) should see a doctor as soon as possible if any of these changes are noticed.

Sell-off accelerates amid fiscal cliff deadlock
Stocks finally suffer a bout of panicked selling pressure. Yet sentiment remains bullish.
For weeks, the bulls on Wall Street have blissfully wanted to believe that -- despite all signs to the contrary -- President Obama and House Republicans could come to an agreement on red-meat issues like tax hikes and spending cuts to avoid the fiscal cliff at the end of the year.
After GOP House Speaker John Boehner was unable to pass his "Plan B" -- featuring tax-rate hikes for millionaires and billionaires but no spending cuts -- this illusion has slowly been shattered. Thursday, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid admitted that it looks like we're headed off the cliff just as the next, much scarier catalyst comes into view: the debt ceiling, which the Treasury says we will hit in a matter of days.
But as the fiscal cliff fiasco demonstrated, there is little reason to believe Washington will come to an agreement easily. That, along with the threat of a credit rating downgrade and signs of economic weakness, has investors headed for the exits in a big way.
This is a big reversal for many.
Despite signs that a new downtrend is being established amidst a political stalemate in Washington -- from various technical measures to our own Trend Indicator (more on that below) -- sentiment remains very bullish. Newsletter writers following the Nasdaq are now recommending one of their most extreme net long positions in more than a decade; a breathtaking reversal from their bearish positioning just five weeks ago.
These people were banking on a last-minute fiscal cliff compromise deal. Maybe they get one before the end of the year. I'm doubtful. A short-term deal will likely happen in mid-January. Everyone will sigh in relief.
But that only opens the door to the much more difficult task of raising the U.S. Treasury's debt ceiling (which will be hit on Dec. 31, but will be extended through cash-management measures until February or March). And that will require an agreement on the long-term, structural drivers of the deficit including entitlements and health care costs.
If you think the battle over raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires is tough, just wait.
The system is clearly unsustainable. There are a record 56.7 million Social Security recipients. But only 94.75 million full-time private sector workers in the country. And we've yet to tackle the issue of reducing health care costs and making the system more efficient.
And while the Federal Reserve is keeping Treasury yields low -- preventing bond investors from expressing their displeasure -- the credit rating agencies suffer no such hindrance. If a deal doesn't get done, or if it's accompanied by embarrassing political stunts and excessive delays, the Treasury will be hit by additional downgrades.
Standard & Poor's cut our AAA rating last summer in large part because of our dysfunctional politics.
Wednesday, Moody's warned that if there is no clear path on the fiscal outlook and debt trajectory next year, they will downgrade us too.
All the while, the economy is tipping -- along with Japan and Europe -- into a new recession as business spending dries up and consumers pull back as confidence falls.
Trading update
The risk-off complex is starting to move as a result of the market weakness, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling through its 200-day moving average. Treasury bonds, the U.S. Dollar, and volatility are all doing well. Everything else pretty much isn't. The exception is precious metals, which are hanging in there to my surprise (I expected additional weakness on the pop in the dollar).
As a result, I'm booking profits in my precious metals shorts and adding new exposure to Treasury bonds (long), energy (short), technology (short), and the euro (short) via the Direxion 3x Treasury Bull (TMF), Direxion 3x Energy Bear (ERY), ProShares UltraShort Nasdaq QQQ (QID), and the ProShares UltraShort Euro (EUO). I'm adding all three to my Edge Letter Sample Portfolio.
There are less aggressive ways to play these trends, including the UltraShort Oil & Gas (DUG) and the US Dollar Bullish Fund (UUP).

We re-elected a LAZY, arrogant, socialist, corrupt even by Chicago standards, Imbecile. He is too stubborn to extend the W tax cuts. He insists on more taxes, the republicans say OK, but only if the leech class 47% start to pay also. The imbecile '57 states' insists on more spending when we need to slash spending, including DEFENSE spending.
Wait till next month, and their is NO debt ceiling increase. The House will not increase Obama's credit card limit one dime until he submits a 'balanced budget'. This president is economically clueless. He has worked as hard on this as he has on jobs, i.e., he has done nothing...
What do you expect when you have the failed leadership of the imbecile Obama?
Deal with the democrat depression.
We will get the 47% that pay ZERO now to start to pay for Obamanomics. We shall see how well they like it ONCE THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR IT...
We Republicans understand the LEECH 47% will always VOTE for SOMEONE ELSE to pay for government. We understand they rather VOTE for a living instead of working and eraning one.
We need to wean the 47% of the government teet... The cliff will force them to start PAYING taxes. A novel concept to the leech class...
Be careful with sucker's rallies today, do not fall for them, we just had one at about 1045 hrs or so.....Pieces of dirt in complete control, we expect those rallies from time to time to lure people in...Just play it safe...Perfect day to stay on the sidelines, at least for now...More later.
There is a new archeological finding now know as a Boehnementalus deficientales, stupidsaurus, retardsaurus. This new found specimen belonging to the new mental deficiency species of retarded humans! Science is also making progress in the finding of another sample of a Ryasaurus, abusesarus, imperfectus, and a cantorsaurus wotherlesssaurus! Science keeps moving forward quickly, presently investigating another phenomenal science discovery that will be named, Palisaurus pervertsarus! This new species eats unaware humans alive while making grossly sounds!
Wake up America!
The unfortunately selection by the Republican Base voting for the Tea Party runners in 2010 had explosively undermine our country progress in the economical front, and placed all citizens in a perilous path to a total disaster in the failure of the extreme efforts taken by the president Obama to deal for a satisfactory solution for the Fiscal Cliff situation, placed it there by the Republican Party long ago! The moral of the history, the whole Democratic Base need to work extra hard in 2014 to totally eradicate these kind of people fully unwilling to cooperate with our president for the benefit of the people of America! If they continue there for long, we will witness the destruction of the American way of life! Also, the removal of Mitch McConnell from the Senate is now imperative because of his lack of empathy for the American people, and his lack of respect for our president Obama!
Wake up America!
There only five days to the Fiscal Cliff. We think that the president has tried very hard to make terms to prevent the Cliff, while the Tea Party, and behind curtains, guys like Ryan and many others radical Republicans are fomenting discord and hatred among the more tolerant and fair members of the House of Representatives proposing phantom rejections not to attained an acceptance consensus among them! These rejections, all done with malice with a purpose of not accepting any proposal at all from the president. We, the Democratic Base are crying loud to our president not to try any longer, as any concession will be not accepted by the dissidents of the worse Congress we ever had. We think the American people know well by now of the trials and tribulations of the president to prevent the Cliff, but we, the hard core Democratic Base ask for him to stand firm, no more nice little or big concessions, no more rolling over, no more giving the other chick to get slapped around! If the president does gives in, the destruction of our solid Democratic Base will be destroyed for ever instantaneously! We hope the president take the bitter pill with all of us, knowing that he has tried the best for these long four years to domesticate the beast, with no evident of any success. Let it be Mr. President! Win one more time with the million of us applauding you for your courage, and your firmness against the worse assault against the people of America since 911 fateful day of infamy against our dear citizens of America!

After a devastating departure from store shelves for long-time Twinkie fans, they are making a big comeback! They will also be made right here in the Chicago area, in Schiller Park.
Hostess says Twinkies will be back on store shelves in three weeks – as soon as July 15. The new owners said the prices will also stay the same.
Hostess, who owns Twinkies, filed for bankruptcy in 2012. The company also let go about 15,000 union workers, many of whom worked at the Schiller Park plant. Employees were embroiled in a dispute with the previous company management.
Hostess is now owned by the private equity firms Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co. They think there's a profit to be made.
It remains to be seen if those unionized employees will be hired back as well. The Bakery Union President was quoted in a Monday report saying he's confident they will be hired back, but a company spokesman said that is highly doubtful.

Hundreds of students gathered around The Runway at America's Beauty Show in Chicago recently to hear stories and advice from industry legends. This year, Beauty Changes Lives paired practicing hair stylists, educators and business visionaries with beauty school students to showcase how beauty is truly changing lives.
These mentors and mentees started out the presentation for the day. One by one, all of them took the stage and talked about what beauty meant to them, and how it has impacted their lives. After the initial presentation, Jan Arnold, co-founder of CND took the stage with her mentee, Cheyanne Birchall. "Cheyanne was a student in a CND Shellac workshop and she shared her love for cosmetology to a room full of beauty professionals. There wasn't a dry eye in the house! After the workshop, I invited her to a couture nail event. Cheyanne's contribution emotionally and physically was great! She decorated some of the nail designs, and her commitment and passion made her stand out from the rest." Arnold said she looks forward to working with her in the future. "To all beauty school students, the sky is the limit in this industry! Be dedicated and you will go far!"
Celebrity Stylist Diana Schmidtke, who styles the coifs of various leading male celebrities (including Seth McFarland at the Oscars!) took the stage next with her mentee, Leonor Del Casillo. Schmidtke who gave insight into the world of celebrity grooming, also talked about how much the Beauty Changes Lives program means to her. Schmidtke said to the audience, "Your options after graduating are endless. If you feel lost after graduating, we, at Beauty Changes Lives, want to stress to you that we are here for you. There is nothing that excites me more than helping future beauty professionals find success."
Beauty Changes Lives is offering 20 basic scholarships and 20 advanced scholarships each year to students. Beauty Changes Lives Foundation President Lynelle Lynch talked about the Beauty Changes Lives Scholarship Program and the Beauty Changes Lives Mentorship Scholarship, where a student has the opportunity to win a day with a mentor (this year it's CND's Jan Arnold and Johnny Wright—hair stylist to Michele Obama). She also touched on the Vidal Sassoon Beauty Education Workshop where a student could win advanced education training to The Sassoon Academy, a $5,000 investment. "The generosity of leaders in our industry is truly redefining what a scholarship experience is all about. We're not just providing funding, but connecting today's biggest names in beauty with tomorrow's talent through successful mentoring experiences," she says.

Whitney and Bobby
In July 1992, Houston married former New Edition singer Bobby Brown - a surprise to many, given how her clean-cut image contrasted with his bad-boy reputation. Their marriage would be a tumultuous and troubled - but long-lasting - one.
Here, Houston and Brown attend the Hollywood premiere of her film 'The Bodyguard' on Nov. 23, 1992 at Mann's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California.
What sad new's How you died Whitney doesn't matter , what does matter is what you left us with and what an insperation you were to so many people through your movies and your music . you had a job to do and you did it well and now you rest . for those of us who loved you we will never forget you and you will live on forever in all of us .
R.I.P. pretty lady.
And THANK'S FOR THE MEMORIES
@ Someone: I think you missed the point of what I was trying to say. Every human life has a value, whether they are a homeless crack addict or an entertainer. I am not excusing her drug use- as I said, no one is going to deny that the drugs badly impacted her voice and her body. I also agree with you: I'm sure that her habit must have negatively affected her relationship with others, including her daughter. Her drug use put her in a negative light in the public eye- if it didn't, no one would be making references to crack in their current commentary. The underlying message of my past post was that people should not be making sarcastic comments about the fact that she has died, or making light of her death- it's not right. She's a person, regardless of her history. We all make mistakes and poor choices, but that doesn't decrease the intrinsic value of our lives. Whitney loved, and she was loved. I don't think other people realize that if their loved one had died, they would not appreciate it if others were crassly referring to dark periods in the dead person's life.
I only highlighted that poster's mistakes because he/she decided to take it upon himself/herself to mock others when he/she couldn't even proofread his/her own post.
You asked whether people's comments would be posted if Whitney was living on the streets, addicted to crack, and if she could not sing. In other words, would people comment if it was a homeless drug addicted individual who had died? I think a better question to ask is if our media outlets would even report it, which is another topic altogether. Thousands of tragedies happen everyday, and we have no knowledge about them.
I'm afraid your post is riddled with grammatical and spelling mistakes. In fact, you would express yourself much better with some revision of the post- there are a lot of sentence fragments and missing question marks. Your spelling errors include "addiction", "naturally", and "her".
A sadness that will shock many fans, friend's and her family. God has a beautiful Angel to sing in his garden. No one has a right to judge her for any reason why she lived or why she died. She will be missed by million's Sleep peacefully Whitney. I am saddened by this and my prayer's are certainly out to her family.God be with you at your time of sorrow.
no one has yet said this and im sure ill get backlash from this but here goes... when Whitney Houston got involved with Bobby Brown that was the ending of her greatness... his influence and the exposure of drugs were right there for her to taste and somehow started to enjoy and party hard with him... im sure he's emotional about her death but he should ask god's forgiveness for influencing her that way and leading her down a dark dark road that is always hard to recover from... I hope U R Happy with Yourself Bobby... this never should have been..
Whitney, God made you into a Super Star and your light is now shining for the entire world to see. Your voice and songs have brought me through broken relationships, crushes - ("there's a boy I know"), happy moments of dreams, aspirations, love and youth; your legacy will live on…..In the words of the late great legend, Bob Marley.... "I know a place where we can carry on". You are in that place now….so carry on my soul sister, carry on…My thoughts are with your grieving family and close friends…I will pray for them
Taylor Swift uses her performance time during the Grammys to take a verbal jab at harry Styles.

Autobiography Checklist
DBU Home > Academics > PRST 3303 > Tools > Autobiography Checklist
About 70% of your autobiography should address your adult and career years.
Make links between your experiences and your learning.
Margins should be one inch all the way around each page.
One space is needed after sentence ending punctuation marks.
Use the proper punctuation marks (coma, semi-colon, colon, dash, hyphen, slash, quotation marks, etc.) within each sentence. Consult a grammar handbook for help.
Avoid the use of contractions in formal writing and watch for the use of "its" (possessive) and "it's" (it is).
Spell out all numbers less than 10: exceptions are addresses, dates, and numbers greater than 10 unless at the beginning of a sentence.
Include a blank line between all paragraphs.
Avoid run-on sentences. Divide long sentences of three or more lines into two sentences.
Keep paragraphs to about three to eight sentences. Avoid one or two sentence paragraphs and those that are excessively long.
Use your word processor's spelling and grammar checkers and consult a thesaurus to enhance your writing style. Make use of the DBU University Writing Center if you feel you need some help.
Watch your capitalization. Incorrect--"My Mother went to the store." Correct--"My mother went to the store." Correct: "I told Mother that she was a gem." Correct: "I also told Doctor Jones that she was a gem." The same is true for manager, department, etc.
Avoid starting too many sentences with the same word (especially, "I") or the same pattern of words. This will make your paper more interesting to read.
You can be somewhat creative in your writing style. Avoid using a repetitive list of years and activities such as "In 1967 I...," "Then in 1972 I."
Proofread your work. Reading it aloud can help your ears detect errors you might miss otherwise. Having a friend or family member proof your work can also be helpful.
Watch the ordering of phrases in your sentences and the use of prepositions. Incorrect: "I was pleased with the situation I found myself in." Correct: "I was pleased with the situation in which I found myself."
Be sure the final printing of your autobiography and all your portfolio documents are clear and clean.
There may be some aspects of your life which are sensitive and personal. You may be more comfortable leaving these out of your autobiography.

"It's not one conversation, it's not even ten conversations, it may be a hundred conversations that connect young people to their parents and really help the young people accept their own parent's perspectives on things."
In this STI Awareness Month interview, Dr. J. Dennis Fortenberry of the Indiana University School of Medicine explains why young people are especially vulnerable to STIs and covers the basics of effective sexual communications between parents and kids.
Most states have laws requiring health care providers to notify parents (or obtain their consent) when providing abortion services to teens. A new study published online in The Journal of Health Economics finds such "parental involvement" (or PI) laws have no significant impact in reducing risky sexual behavior and STI rates among youth.
Simply put: No. Duh.
"A cornerstone of the Sexual Health Model is the ability to talk comfortably and explicitly about sexuality, especially one's own sexual values, preferences, attractions, history and behaviors. We believe that such communication is necessary for one to effectively negotiate safer sex with sexual partners, and is a valuable skill that must be learned and practiced." –from The Sexual Health Model: application of a sexological approach to HIV prevention, by Beatrice E. Robinson, Walter O. Bockting, B. R. Simon Rosser, Michael Miner and Eli Coleman
In most European nations, sexuality is embraced as a positive, natural part of life. There is open dialogue and positive social norms associated with sexual health and sexuality. In contrast, talking about sex, in everyday life, remains uncomfortable for most Americans, including parents, teens, and other adults.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)-- A natural disaster destroyed the homes of some members of a choir group visiting Louisville this week.
A choir group from the Philippines is visiting Louisville this week and they are using their music as a distraction from the tragedy that struck and destroyed many of their homes. The distraction, however, doesn't heal their pain.
"We still have part of our heart there, worrying about our family," said Lorenzo Gealogo, choir master of the group of college students that are doing what they can to help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
The typhoon hit the Philippines earlier this month, killing more than 5,000 people and completely washing away some communities.
Ana Almenario is a member of the choir that is in Louisville competing in a holiday event at the Galt House. She said her family was impacted by the typhoon and the group's singing is a way to show the world their strength.
"We are getting there," she said. "We are recovering."
The competition begins on Friday and lasts through the weekend. Louisville's performing arts school, Y-PAS, will also be competing.

Natural Radiance—Rx: Treatments for that Hard-to-Reach Acne
By Jessie Rosen
The latest trend in facials makes an entirely different set of cheeks smooth and glowing. Glutexfoliation, bum buffing, butne—call it what you will—but spa enthusiasts across the country have become fast fans of this cleansing and buffing process targeting the trouble spot we'd all sooner forget exists.
In today's burgeoning spa market apparently any skin goes, even that reserved for a very exclusive audience. From besieged business women (and men) to stay-at-home moms looking for a little pampering while their kids are at school—the market for posterior care is growing, alongside people's comfort levels with it.
"The treatments really became popular last summer," says Nicole Contos of Smooth Synergy spa in Manhattan. The spa's "Fanny Facial"—a three-step exfoliation and toning mix was given a "cute and clever name" to ease clients into the idea. "Now more than ever," Contos says, "we see women looking to pay attention to those forgotten areas." Much like a foot massage, attention to the backside helps support and release muscles that bear the brunt of our days.
Treatments of the tuchie vary in nature from cleansing and detoxing the skin—just like a regular facial—to microcurrent or microdermabrasion therapy. Typical "facials" usually involve a deep scrub and hot steam, while the more involved processes work to mold the shape and erase cellulite with the help of a machine that pulses wave patterns stimulating the muscles of the buttocks. The result? Tighter and toned buttocks for approximately two to three days, making regular visits an expensive proposition. With prices ranging from $85 to $120 for exfoliation and $120 to $280 for multi-step toning treatments, posterior pampering may be out of reach in more ways than one.
For those still hesitant to either bare or spend all, a number of leading skincare lines have introduced at-home remedies that mirror the effects of spa treatment. While wave pulsing machines are difficult to simulate, a deep "facial" to reduce clogged pores can be accomplished with a long, hot bath to open the pores and soften the skin. Follow with an exfoliating scrub to slough away dead skin cells. Believe it or not, face exfoliators will do the trick. Try Phyt's Cosmetics all-organic exfoliator/mask ($28). Its key ingredient is ylang ylang—a flower derivative that increases natural oil secretion, which in turn nourishes dry skin. Other bum-buffing ingredients to look for include coconut oil, which helps remove the outer layer of dead skin cells (the Coral Sea Salt Body Polish from Organic Fiji ($24) is a great option) and sea salts, which will increase circulation and give you that healthy, pink look (Alba Sea Salt Body Scrub ($11) will leave skin fresh and also smooth).

The new Selmon Expressway Connector cost $422-million to build, and now it's finally almost done. While it may be the most expensive mile of pavement in the Bay Area, the views match the price tag.
Three years after construction started, the massive series of elevated spans and ramps -- which will connect the Selmon Expressway with Interstate 4 -- is slated to open around the end of the year.
"We have just finishing touches for the most part. All the bridge structures are in place. We're putting up barrier walls, putting up signs, striping, finishing grooving of the bridge decks. So, we're not far off from putting traffic out here," FDOT spokesman John McShaffery explained.
Crews will still be working beneath and around the project through February, but officials say it won't affect traffic. In fact, the toll road should give drivers more options and, hopefully, a quicker commute.
"These guys have put their heart and soul into it to build this and to build it properly. This is one of the most quality-conscious projects that I've ever worked on," offered project administrator Sherman Johnson.
Truckers hauling fuel, chemicals, and other supplies to and from the port will now get a clear shot to the interstate.
"That's been an issue for a long time, especially through 21st and 22nd streets, through the heart of Ybor, by the Columbia restaurant," McShaffery continued. "We've got heavy truck traffic going through to and from I-4 and the port, and when we get this project done, the majority of that truck traffic is going to be using this route instead."
The views are incredible, and you can see it for yourself later this month. FDOT is holding a one-time-only 5K run on the connector, just before it opens to traffic.
"You'll be able to see downtown Tampa, McKay Bay, Ybor City, the port area. You can see as far as Busch Gardens and even St. Pete on a clear day. So you'll get a lot of views that you can only get from being on one of these bridges, maybe from a skyscraper downtown," McShaffery added.
The 'Run the Connector' 5K race will be on December 28. You can register and learn more at www.runtheconnector5k.com

Let's knock this last part out quickly.
Graphics especially computer graphics are a nightmare for the technically deficient so I am just going to show you what my settings on PCSX2 are and suggest that if you do not have these options of they are slightly different on your machine… well "themz the breakz" but this should at least get you started down the road and these settings work fine for me so there is that.
First on your controller I use a Microsoft 360 Wireless Controller Adapter…
Microsoft 360 Wireless Controller Adapter
Now some of you purist out there might be like but I already got a Sony controller and I heard blah blah blah. Listen, I do not care. This thing is cheap to get ahold of and it works on pretty much ANY Windows computer and that frankly is all I am interested in at the moment.
Make sure your Microsoft 360 controller is on and linked to the Microsoft usb wireless adapter properly.
Go to your PCSX2 start screen and lets start configuring this sucker…
At the top of the page is the tab Config then select Controllers(PAD) and then select Plugin Settings.
Select only the settings found here and hit refresh on the bottom box labeled Device Diagnostics. You should be seeing DX Controller (XBox 360 Wireless blah blah blah) listed in that box.
Next go to the Pad 1 Tab at the top there.
Clear any existing settings and then hit each button on the screen and then hit the corresponding button on the XBox Controller. Each individual setting should show up as you go through them all.
Once you are done there the controller should now work with your games.
Now go back to your PCSX2 start screen and select Config, Video (GS), and then Window Settings
After making sure those settings match go select the Speedhacks tab and follow this screen.
OK and now the last settings. Go back to the PCSX2 start screen. Select Config and Video (GS) and then Plugin Settings. Just change to the ones I show here.
DONE! Yeah! OK… if you run into any problems I recommend you make friends on the PCSX2 Forums but most importantly have fun. Long live the Sony Playstation 2.
