Well, the classroom of the future is going to be a really interesting combination of elements. First of all, it will live in the proverbial cloud. Content -- so you can be able to access this classroom, where you'll have teachers, your faculty, other students, mentors, connections to whomever you want -- the content will live in a place that you can access it from any device. It's not going to be something that's just on your hard drive or just in a physical space. So imagine the world where your mobile smartphone, the desktop setup you have in your home, or the digital television set, back to the room you actually go and conduct your work with your classmates is all tied together.
Your data, your learning profile, what you're working on, your homework assignments -- so for me, that stuff is ubiquitous. The networks you can draw upon to solve problems when you're both curious and when you're stumped will always be available to you. I think that the classroom of the future is going to be a combination of classrooms that we come to that are the formal classrooms that are called a school. There'll be classrooms that might just be the Starbucks or a coffee shop down the street. It might be it's an empty warehouse where a bunch of kids or students have decided to put together a new company or a nonprofit.
And they're going to get class credit for it, and a whole bunch of online network teams and teachers and faculty members engaging content. I see it being much more distributed and much more of something that you engage with along your own path, so that it allows us to connect globally, be local and global at the same time; I feel that -- over 20 years -- is where we're heading.

I hope that there's always a teacher, a live person, because learning is a social thing. Whether the learning is virtual or face to face, it's a social thing, and I think particularly for young children. As you get older and approach adulthood, I think you can move more and more to an online platform, but children play off the energy of the classroom and the social aspect of it.
But I do strongly believe that with online resources more technology is going to come into the classroom, but I think what's going to happen is that teachers and educators are going to have to be more thoughtful and trained in, how do you use all of this technology to facilitate a child's education? That's where I think the future lies, is teachers having all of these resources, just like we all do every day with Google and every other resource we have, how do you manage those resources so that you have a highly effective classroom?
Is online learning threatening to privatize higher education?

But Thames Town is not nestled in the British countryside; it's located in the northeast corner of China in Songjiang, near Shanghai.
And it didn't grow gradually over hundreds of years; it sprang up in 2006 as part of Shanghai's "One City, Nine Town" initiative, an attempt to decentralize the city.
The city is a virtual ghost town, with empty shops and unused roads.
It's a popular destination for wedding photos, according to Racked, which has a great gallery of Chinese newlyweds posing in the medieval setting.
Blogger triplefivedrew, who visited Thames Town in 2010, likened the place to the set of The Truman Show.
He shared his collection of Thames Town photos on Flickr.

I have sensitive, combination skin that's getting drier as I get older. Occasionally I get a pimple or two and I find myself looking for a spot treatment product like this.
I think this product does and adequate job of drying out pimples. However, I feel like it dries out my skin a bit too much, and causes me to get dry patches that I have to then exfoliate and double up on the moisturizer. Also, for the price ($36 for 2 ounces), I think you can find cheaper spot treatment products with the same amount of Benzoyl Peroxide.

Game changer! I never had acne in my life till about 21, And just hoped it would go away. Fast forward 3 years, the problem lingers. I came across this on here actually, decided to give it a whirl! At first I panicked over how dry my skin was, but I invested in a really good moisturizer, and within a week my cystic acne was cleared, even my little sweat spots on my forehead went away! As a result I don't need to use heavy duty concealer and thick foundation, I'm almost just happy with a tinted moisturizer and some bronzer. Don't invest in any heavily advertised, celebrity infested 1000 step skin care system. They destroyed my skin, and bank account. Waste of time.
My bedtime routine is now:
Clinique facial soap cleanse
(I also occasionally tone with Aesop facial toner if I'm not being lazy)
DDF peroxide gel
Origins night-a-mins oil free moisturizer.
In the morning I only cleanse.
Definitely recommend!

This product is seriously amazing. I have very sensitive skin on my face, if i accidentally scratch my face it turns super red, just to give you an idea. So this being 5% bp, i thought there was no way my skin would like it. I was wrong! it cleared up my skin so fast and kept it clear but since i wasnt using a moistuizer because every one ive tried breaks me out, it dried up my skin like a desert so i stopped using it and im going to try to use it less often until i find a good moisturizer. It is worth the price, and if you've tried everything with no luck please try this.

So this basically changed my life. My skin was craterface pizza for a year, with cystic acne getting out of control and multiplying every day. Very worrisome.
My skin does not respond well to salicylic acid. It didn't respond to anything, really, and I dumped a bunch of money into skincare. Tried oil cleansing too, Beh. I didn't realize I was a benzoyl girl. A friend recommended this so I bit the bullet and purchased.
Worth the investment. This in conjunction with a sensitive, non-abrasive cleanser and strong moisturizer/spf started clearing me up instantly. It was insane. I followed Dan's acne method (pls Google so mua doesn't think I'm advertising!!), which was aimed at minimizing inflammation. He requires you pile on the BP over time, but I've never needed to go that far.
The first time you use ANY BP, you WILL experience redness, itchiness and peeling.. fight through it! follow acne.***'s suggestions on method and dosage. the website provides helpful tips and tricks to work with that. Ideally, you should start off very sparse and use it every other day, working up to daily..
After my skin adjusted to it, the inflammation around my acne began to subside. When my skin was flat (only badly scarred by then), I got my first pore extraction which unveiled massive clogs (huge plugs probably years old). My aesthetician explained that these plugs prevented bacteria from cleansing, so they would inflame around the site. Benzoyl shrinks the fk out of the things trapped in your pores, so you would still have to get them out so they don't inflame again. After that first extraction, I barely need to go back. My skin has remained clear and the scars have all but faded.
This is the first time in my life I have ever, EVER had clear skin. I used DDF every day for the first five months. Now it is wb effective spot treatment.
Step 1: gentle, non-abrasive Cleanser with a pH of 5.5 or higher (I used purpose). Light washing for less than 10 seconds. Pat dry.
2) Let skin dry completely. Smooth BP generously and evenly across skin. First time will lead to shitty, itchy skin. I reduced my dosage and usage because skin turned leathery, but others may handle more.
3) good, solid moisturizer with spf of at least 15. I used olay regenerist spf, but have since shifted to Yes to Carrots spf because products with dimethicone ruin your skin over time.
I'm sure there are cheaper BPs out there but I'm gonna be loyal to this. I like the consistency, I like the simple packaging, I like how little of it I had to use, and I trust the quality of other ingredients.
Don't be deterred by the side effects of BP - that is a given with this product no matter who the carrier is. Not fair to judge based on a given. Power through!

I've been using this on and off for a few years, and I'm not certain if I will buy again. I like it, it feels nice and it reduces blemishes, but it's not a miracle worker either. I don't think my skin likes BP, so I may find another product with tea tree oil and see how that works before i give this another try.

I really like this product.. I bought it about 3 months ago and I'm just about finished. I like using it as a spot treatment because it does zap the zits practically in a day. I also use it as a facial wash AFTER I've cleaned off all my makeup with a face wash, in which case I use Purpose and I love that. So I use this after and kind of let it sit a few minutes whether I'm in the shower or not, to me I feel like it helps. ( I have OCD :P) And I don't use it everyday, because there isn't all that much and it works just about the same using it every other day or every other two days, no lie. More like keeps the pimples at bay for a while until you use it again, which is a reason why I love this product. I purchased it at Sephora, and I think I'll be looking online in hopes of finding a cheaper place to get it. I know DDF have upped their prices so we will see. I love the BP with tea tree oil.. Very good if you react well to it :-)

I really like all of the DDF products I've tried and this one certainly didn't disappoint. My skin has a bad time with BP treatments (easily causes redness and peeling on me), but it's so effective for acne-prone spots I do occasionally have to go back to it. I never had a BP product I actually enjoyed and didn't dread using until I tried this one. I'm not sure what is so different about their formulation or processing of the ingredients, but it really does zap the pimples and clear up oily or clogged areas WITHOUT hurting my skin. It also doesn't smell nearly as bad as some other BP treatments. Pleasant smooth texture, nice packaging as well. The price seems high at first, but you only need a dab or very thin layer, so ultimately it's worth it. I highly recommend trying for all types of stubborn acne.

I've used this for about a month now and nothing has been as effective for my skin in years. I've been scared to write a review thinking I might "jinx" the effectiveness, but I strongly believe in spreading information that may help others. Over the last three years my skin has had stubborn, persistent breakouts with long lasting hyperpigmentation. It hasn't been terrible, just persistent in spite of multiple treatments; over-the-counter and prescription. I was prescribed differin and benzaclin which in combination used to work wonderfully for me but the benzaclin stopped working. I have read all of the reports that 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is just as effective as 10% without the side effects, yeah yeah, but 2.5% for me (again this is anecdotal) was not working. I also get scared of regular use of BP because of dryness (I'm 30 and it can make me look wrinkly). But I was having this awful breakout along my hairline that nothing was helping and going to my derm is a pain. So I started my google searching for some BP product stronger than 2.5% and voila, found this product. Again, at risk of jinxing myself, this product is wonderful. My skin looks better than it has in years, it has helped with the hyperpigmentation, and is controlling oil. I was at the point of blotting my skin all the time and using Dr. brandt pores-no-more to control, but this DDF 5% product has really normalized my skin. I just woke up and looked in the mirror and it keeps improving; I feel younger and look more even everyday. I'm mad I didn't find this sooner. So I still use differin every other night and the ddf 5% every morning and alternate differin nights. I have to use a good moisturizer with BP or I am screwing myself; philosophy's hope in a jar for dry skin in small amounts works outrageously well for me. Hope this continues working and works for anyone who tries it!
*I also want to add that about two months ago I started using Pur Minerals makeup and I think this has also contributed to the betterment of my skin. It's honestly the best, lightest, easy-to-use powder I have ever used.

Great product.
Although I am over the 40 mark, I have combination skin, and still break out if I am not scrupulous in my routine, or if I have major hormonal issues (cannot control the latter, they little vermin have a mind of their own).
During either the extremely humid months of the east coast summers, or during those times when my hormones are deciding to make my life miserable, this has become a very good friend.
Years ago, I had to visit the dermatologist for a BP script. Was very expensive, and also very harsh. I then discovered MD Forumlations BP @ 10 percent, which I used for several years. However, as I have gotten older, the 10 percent was proving way too harsh: it was drying my skin too much. I needed less of a workhorse and more of a maintenance manager.
As I've used the DDF Glycolic toner for several years, and my MD Formulations BP was out, I decided to try the DDF 5 percent. I love the way it goes on, has proved to be the answer to my needs.
A lighter BP formulation, it goes on like silk, sinks in instantly, controls the oil, and the tea tree oil controls bacteria effectively during strenuous workouts, all without excessive drying.
Highly recommend, especially for women over 35 who need oil control but are concerned about excessive drying. At one time, this would not have been strong enough for my needs; now, it is the solution to my combo skin issues.

Talked with Jen Garone of Celebration Cinema today about two BIG movies opening this weekend,
I read all three of the Divergent books, first two were awesome, that last one left me flat. Movie though looks pretty good.
Loved the reboot of the Muppets from a few years ago, my kids have watched that about 100 times. This one looks to have the same feel as the classic Muppet movies I grew up watching.

For some couples, choosing a first dance song is super-easy. Maybe you have a song you danced to in high school or a tune you always blast in the car. But for other couples, choosing a first dance song can be a little more complicated. So we looked at our recent real weddings on Project Wedding to see which songs were resonating with couples to provide some inspiration."Better Together" by Jack Johnson "Close Your Eyes" by Michael Buble "You are the Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne "Hey Pretty Girl" by Kip Moore "All of Me" by John Legend "Marry Me" by Train "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz "La Vie En Rose" by Louis Armstrong "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" by Ingrid Michaelson "Then" by Brad Paisley "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young "At Last" by Etta James "Lego House" by Ed Sheeran "The Book of Love" by Magnetic Fields "Make You Feel My Love" by Bob Dylan (Adele cover) "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Frankie Valli "The Way You Look Tonight" by Frank Sinatra "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green "For Once in My Life" by Stevie Wonder

By: Mary SwensonThat of-the-moment (yet utterly classic) blue and white striped shirt seen just about everywhere these days inspired this fresh, stylish table setting. Here's how we did it! Linens Customizing individual linens for each place setting is made easy by using inexpensive white cotton napkins and multi-surface acrylic craft paint. Simply iron each napkin flat, and paint thin stripes along the bottom. Centerpiece Liven up your centerpiece container by adding a striped detail along the bottom. First, we spray-painted a clear glass vase with white spray paint and let it dry completely. Then, after marking off stripe-painting guides using low-tack adhesive tape, we painted stripes around the base of the container. Floral Simplicity A single, oversized red dahlia adds just the right amount of color and drama to this centerpiece while keeping it simple and unfussy. Menus Carry the stripey theme over to all aspects of your event! To create this menu card, we used blue cardstock, a white gel pen, and white paint. Contrast + Color The blue menu card is a striking contrast atop the sea of white. Place one card at each table setting, or put one or two at each table. Place Cards Make matching place cards by using white card stock and painting stripes along one edge with blue paint. Use a similarly-colored blue pen to print names on each card. Coordinated Paper Goods Coordinating menu and place cards are a lovely and sophisticated detail. Stripes, Stripes, Stripes! Using the same number of stripes and a common color scheme for each piece on your table creates a unified, crisp look that's perfect for a bridal shower or wedding day! (photos by Mary Swenson)
Project and Photos By: Mary Swenson Flowers can end up being a huge part of a wedding budget, but luckily there are easy ways to create beautiful arrangements on your own without a big expense. If you're thinking about tackling the flowers for your day yourself, we've come up with three types of arrangements that will make this an easy feat. The simplest, can't-go-wrong type of arrangement is to fill your container with only one color of one type of flower. Flowers en masse - whether they be hydrangeas, roses, or tulips (like we show here) - are a sophisticated look that you just can't go wrong with. The best part? Not only is this strategy the easiest way to arrange flowers, but it also means that you can use inexpensive flowers and still have a stunning centerpiece. With our tulips, we left most of the leaf on each stem, which helped this arrangement look lush and casual, and allowed us to buy fewer tulips to fill the container. For a more formal, modern look, you can strip all of the leaves off your flower's stem and bunch them together tightly. Another simple arrangement is one that consists of different colors of one type of flower. The color variations will add visual interest to your table, but the use of only one type of flower still keeps the look cohesive and clean. For our arrangement, we used dahilas in complimentary hues, and we spread the different colors out so that they were balanced among the arrangement. The third option is to use different types of flowers in the same color to create an interesting yet put-together arrangement that will rival what any florist could do! With this look, it's important to make sure most of the leaves are removed from the flower stems, and that the flowers are bunched together tightly. This will help your arrangement to look neat and professional. Also, make sure to spread out the different types of flowers throughout the arrangement - using floral foam inside your container will help with this. No matter what type of arrangement you go with, keeping it simple is the best way to go if you're thinking about doing the flowers for your event. They'll look beautiful!

Project and Photos by Brittni Mehlhoff Make store bought meringues feel like custom treats for guests, with this simple watercolor-inspired DIY. They may look like tiny pieces of art, but they are also completely edible (and delicious). Since this project uses gel food coloring, they're 100% safe to eat. Materials: Meringues Gel Food Coloring (assorted colors) Small Paint Brush (cake decorating brushes work great) Water Small bowl Paper Towels
How-To:1. Using a paint brush or toothpick, grab a small amount of gel food coloring (a little goes a long way) and place in a bowl. 2. Next, add water and stir. 3. To create color blocked watercolor meringues, simply dunk the meringue into the food coloring mixture quickly and remove. Set on a paper towel to dry. 4. To create a painted pinwheel, dip a paint brush into the food coloring and use as you would any other paint. Set on a paper towel and let dry. 5. Place into small bags or decorative boxes. Showcase the finished meringues on a dessert table or wrap them up to give as takeaways for guests. They make great favors!

Preliminary Decisions:
- Choose if you would like natural pillars, brick pillars or pillars made of segmental block or man-made faux stone.
- Look online and decide what height and width you would like your brick or stone pillars to be, making sure it is commensurate with your driveway, patio or lot size.
- To decide the placement of your pillars, remember you will lose some of your view and it may give you a defined end to your patio or it can be a barrier to an unsightly area of a neighbor's yard or common property.
- You may want a mailbox installed inside your pillar if it's in the front of your home.
How to Install Pillars
- Lay out the brick or stone veneer pillars by measuring the area and spray paint the ground to get a good feel for what you are looking for.
- Remove the grass but save some to use as backfill/sod upon project completion.
- Depending on the size of the pillars, prepare for the footing system by digging 2′ down (that is the frost line in the Washington, DC area) or until you have found compacted soil.
- Install #4 or 1/2" rebar in the hole. Most times 2 strands going right to left will be sufficient.
- Fill with at least 8″ of concrete, 30 inches square.
- Install CMU (cinder) block to the dimension you require for your brick or stone pillar.
- If you choose stone, install a scratch coat of mortar and let cure before installing the stone.
- Install the veneer of brick or stone.
- If your brick or stone pillars have "shoulders" (angles) on the sides, use a flat, matching flagstone as the veneer so as not to catch water.
- Fill the joints with mortar compound and clean the joints, either with a jointing tool or sponge.
- Use the original, leftover dirt and grass as backfill and clean up the area.
- Let the mortar cure and acid wash to take off the residue.

French vs. American women
Anon asked : Do you think there's a lot of differences between French women and American women, lookwise and lifestylewise?
French women are more discreet than American ones. Physically, they don't like to show a lot of skin, they dress quite soberly. A lot of French women only wear black, grey, beige outfits with just few colorful accessories to warm everything up. Remember that we're the country of "the little black dress" (Famous saying of Coco Chanel: "You don't need to be rich to have style, all you need is a little black dress.") That's something still very deeply rooted in French every day fashion. Most of French women keep their clothes during their whole life, they're very cautious. We're the country of fashion yet we don't spend a lot of money on clothes. Something like $500 per year compared to the American women who spend something like $1500-2000 per year. French women don't feel the need to buy new clothes at every collection. Again, that's a tradition left from Chanel: "Fashion becomes out of date, style never."
Regarding their behavior, French women don't like to talk too much. Americans are real chatterboxes compared to us! They're very discreet about their relationships eventhough they're pretty liberal. They're WAY LESS jealous than American ones, mostly because they're more independant. American system tends to glorify marriage, I mean that it's considered as the ultimate achievement and vector of happiness. Here, French women do not like that idea, they'd rather have a great carrier and a great bank account before they get married. They don't like the idea of depending of a husband. That's why there's very few housewives in the new generation, especially not in the cities. As my mother would say, "You can change your husband but you better be rich on your own or he'll leave with the gold card and who's gonna buy you Vuitton bags then if you can't?" xD
From my own experience, the French elite men like American women because they're much more dedicated to their couple, are perfect housewives and make them feel like kings when French women tend to make them feel like their equal.
Second anon asked: Just out of curiosity, you said that French women are "WAY LESS jealous American ones, mostly because they're more independent." What are you basing this off of? Do you have a lot of experience with American women? Every American woman, just like every French woman, is different. One can't just make assumptions that all American women are dependent/needy; this isn't the case.
Of course everybody's different but you can't ignore cultural differences. The anon asked me a question that I need to answer and even though I totally agree on the "everybody's different" thing (I very often use that answer when anons are asking silly questions…), I need general lines I can base an answer on.
I base this on personal experience, my own, all my friends that leave for the USA to find a "perfect wife" (I don't mean female friends, I mean male friends, especially rich ones) and also the cultural differences that we very regularly witness in the media, in the politics… I may not have chosen the right words, I agree on that, yet I don't change my opinion. French have a completely different conception of what a relationship should be based on.
We perceive American women to be very jealous because the American general temper is to be way more straightforward than us (and it's worth for everything, love, business…) That's something we're being taught at business school! That Americans go straight to the point and are very clear when they're not liking things when French are much more shifty. Regarding love and relationships, French women are much more manipulative than American ones since they don't like to express their feelings in a pushy way but prefer to play sneaky. And to be honest with you, I personally have issues with French women (friends or lovers) since I started to drown myself in American/Anglophone culture - I write fiction, I blog, I have Anglophone sweethearts… I speak and deal with Anglophone people all day long - and now the French seem so fucking complicated to me. I started expressing my feelings in a very "American" way and I did realize that I have to "re-adapt" my own temper (even though I'm French and living in France!) to my French friends.
So what I mean is that American women seem jealous and dependent to us because they express their feelings in a very clear way that is totally unusual for us. French women don't say that they're in love, that they're missing people… They're very cold and that's why French men like American women: they're not afraid to love with passion very soon in the relationship. The typical French conception of passion is much more based on actual sex than simple affection. French women hardly share affection at first, they're much more willing to have sex before anything else. And then maybe, they'll behave sweet and tender - possibly.
For example, it's not for nothing if Dominique Strauss-Kahn had been arrested on the American ground. Whatever happened in this hotel room, he did much worse on the French ground yet nobody cared to annoy him with his sexual scandals because French just don't care. Oddly, he's been arrested in USA (probably boosted by this political opponents?) where his sexual behaviors would be much more severely judged. The case had been proclaimed as an horrible and disgusting scandal when in France, most people laughed about it. We have a completely different point of view…
Alexandra Lamy laughed a lot in the media too when she'd been asked to act a certain way in front of the American cameras during the Oscars for his husband Jean Dujardin. They had been asked to behave in a very touchy feely way because Americans suposedly cherish the image of couples being in love on the carpet when in France, the media couldn't care less as long as they're together. And there's so many examples like these…

Man, things have certainly changed since my day. Back when I was in college, you had to really put forth an effort if you wanted to land a date with a famous international athlete. What happened to the classics like staking out her house, memorizing the obscure minutiae of her biography for conversation-starter purposes, and begging/sobbing until she sympathetically caved in? Kids these days only need Twitter and a handful of loyal followers, evidently; no wonder all the youths are lazy and unemployed and ruining America.
Two weeks ago, Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones agreed to go on a date with user Bubby Lyles (who attends the University of Georgia) if he could earn over 150,000 retweets (whatever those are). An impressive online campaign soon commenced, and against all odds Lyles was able to earn the requisite number of retweets needed to secure the romantic evening.
Upon being asked why he set his sights on Jones, Lyles had lots to say:
I remember watching her in the Olympics last year. She was a cute girl. I know that sounds so stupid, you probably watch TV and say she's good looking and won't think twice about it. … She seems like she has a really great personality. She has good morals, which I'm about, too. She seems like a really good person, which is what I'm looking for. She's in shape. I work out six days a week myself. She says she eats a lot, I know about that because I'm always hungry. I train hard myself, not as hard as her, she's an Olympian. It seems like we have little things in common. I figure why not go for it.
Lyles said he would have to insist on paying for the date since it's "the gentlemanly thing to do," which is surprising because I figured he'd just use KickStarter.

"draw me like one of your french cherries"
[Guess who just set up a brand-spankin'-new dual band router~
"Vivian, hiya!"
The perpetually-cheerful plumber is even more cheerful upon seeing his adorable friend.
"Wow, you got some pretty good timing!" He grinned, giving his trademark laugh. "Heehee~! I was just about to go find you!"
"I-I've missed you!"
She said, smiling at him. Her cheeks flushing a bright red. She smiled still but tilited her head to the side hearing his words. About to go find her? what did he need her for?
"Thaaaat's right." He replied, raising a finger to accent his point. "Don't think I've forgotten! I owe you a day at Glitzville, and I'm not a fan of making a lady wait, either!"
"Yep, a full day, just you and me and nobody to interrupt anything you might wanna do!"
He paused.
"…Actually, probably a good thing it's you, too. Because if it was Miss Mouz or something, they'd probably take advantage of the fact they could probably manipulate me into any kind of ulterior motives. Wouldn't hold it against 'em, neither."
"Also I've really missed those hotdogs."
Wow, he…he really didn't realize what he just said, did he?
That's easy, because Ammy is the main character of the franchise.
Having said that, guys, there's a reason Mega Man's in the game beyond what you think.
It's probably before most of your guys' time, those in middle school and such, but Mega Man was essential in keeping Capcom alive for a good long while, there. Street Fighter carried a lot of the weight after it came about, but th core series before any of the others came around was the Blue Bomber's.
Not to mention, do you realize how intertwined his series is to Nintendo? His franchise on the whole has had six roles on the NES, three on the SNES, one on the Nintendo 64, seven on the GameBoy, eight on the GameBoy Advance, and eight on the Nintendo DS.
33 games, errybody. I'll leave it at that.
Also, there's the issue of Capcom having jack and shit for the 25th anniversary and needing to put him somewhere that will make them money without them having to actually do anything. XP
While I respect your opinion, I would like to remind you that you are requesting a character that's never had a starring role, I don't think has ever been on a Nintendo console period, is essentially nude, and in no way needs help being exposed because Capcom already flaunts her for sex appeal.
Thankfully, we the fans recognize Felicia for being a sweet, strong-willed nun/actress. Her being beautiful is just a bonus.
As you can probably tell from the above, I do love Felicia. That said, she needs a spot on Smash about as much as Naruto does.
…W-Which means "not at all". …Please don't tell me people have requested that.
"No kind of Pac-Man is going to work in Smash Bros"
[No, Pac-Man came frist. Game & Watch did exist a few months earlier, yes — but the series, not the character. Like every other game at the time, they were nameless objects for the player to use.
M. Game & Watch didn't actually exist as a thing until years later. You could think of him as sort of the collective consciousness of the games, I'd say.]
["Counterproductive crybabies" comes to mind. >.>
I mean, really? Guys, the original 12 are going to be there, one. Two, we need secret characters to not be shown on the site. Did you forget the Dojo didn't show the unlockables until after the release?
Three: What better time than E3 to unveil the final 3rd-party character and wow the crowd?
"Captain Falcon's back", no shit. "Ness is back", who saw that crazy twist coming?
"Pac-Man's in"? ZE CROWD GOES WILD for the most recognized gaming icon in history.]
[I…. Honestly, Nintendo took it. They needed games, they delivered games.
Last year it was Sony, no denying it. This year, Microsoft was playing it safe because their ass is still in "recovery mode", as Sony, while satisfying, kinda blew their load last year.
Also, Sakurai committing the greatest achievement in gaming multicorporation history: bringing Nintendo, Sega, Capcom and Namco, the four classic giants, under one title.]
[Hey, thanks! :D I'm glad to see the WiR fandom's surviving here, myself!]

Remember Me
AFTER 16 years, a new owner of the Moonee Ponds Market is expected to be announced this week.
A developer is understood to be in advanced negotiations to buy the 1.34 hectare site, opposite the Moonee Ponds train station – for a speculatd $25 million.
US-based Reading bought the block with the intention of replacing it with a major entertainment complex.
MAB Corporation has sold a major 3795 square metre Docklands site - a portion of a larger piece it bought from ING five years ago.
The block on Pearl River Road sold for a reported $25 million. MAB paid ING $23 million for the larger piece.
MAB listed the block for sale in May, shortly after lodging plans for two apartment towers of 43 levels (with 244 flats) and 16-levels (with 181 units). It sold the sites with a permit.
MORE than two years after the site was first tendered, state government planning agency Places Victoria (then known as VicUrban, one of various recent name changes) has found a buyer for one of Dockland's last undeveloped site.
The 2.5 hectare land parcels known as Parcels 5B, 6 and 6A are expected to make way for multiple towers, totalling about $1.5 billion.
The land abut the rear of The Age building, with frontage to Collins Street. It spreads on both sides of Wurundjeri Way and public art project Bunjl, which may be relocated.
IT USED to be considered the dankest end of the Melbourne CBD - but now two former industrial sites opposite the Southern Cross train station are to make way for some ten swank skyscrapers accommodating some 5500 apartments.Yesterday Victorian planning minister Matthew Guy approved an $800 million redevelopment of the former Age newspaper site at 250 Spencer Street.The proposal – seen in ISPT's 2012 annual report – seeks to add six skyscrapers and 2994 flats to the block which for years housed The Age newspaper.
IOOF Investment Management Ltd has paid $24 million for a 27,000 square metre industrial facility in Melbourne's west.The Derrimut investment is within Australand's West Park Industrial Estate – a 290 hectare industrial park located fifteen kilometres from town on Boundary Road, abutting the Deer Park Bypass. Just over a year ago IOOF paid $19 million for another asset in the Australand estate. Other West Park occupants include Mitre 10, Freight Specialists, La-Z-Boy and Bed Bath N'Table.
NINETEENTH century station Burrawang West in western New South Wales is for sale and expected to sell for about $8.5 million.The historic property spread over 5000 hectares on the Lachlan River, about 450 kilometres west of Sydney, was once a wool production operation, in 1884 establishing a then-record for processing 5000 bales.
INVESTMENT manager Challenger has offloaded a major St Kilda Road tower in an $80 million deal.The 10-level, 20,000 square metre A-grade office at #417 (pictured, right) has been purchased by syndicate Newmark Property Group, headed by ex Lend Lease and Mirvac executive Chris Langford and Simon Morris, previously director of the Peninsula Development Group.The sale price represents a high yield of about 9 per cent. For years known as the Mobil building, 417 St Kilda Road includes Oracle and the Red Cross as major tenants.

Windows onto a Wider World
The real subject of autobiography is not one's experience but one's consciousness. Memoirists use the self as a tool. –Patricia Hampl Perhaps because I'm entering my twenty-third year of teaching writing, I'm getting curmudgeonly about memoir. I still revere fine examples in the genre, but the vast majority of memoir seems myopic and disengaged. Published works irritate me the most; I read a memoir like Sheryl Strayed's Wild and run screaming back to the classics … Continue reading

Write–Or Be Written.
This past weekend my sister married the man she loves in a sunny meadow. Because this was her second marriage, she had resisted it mightily—"marriage" is a story the culture imposes on couples, and it doesn't necessarily work. You have to understand—Marcy is a woman who, on her own, adopted two boys from Guatemala; she started a community farm and has midwifed countless babies into the world. Her performance artist sweetie moved in two years … Continue reading

Dismissing, Then Welcoming the Audience
You must sympathize with the reader's plight (most readers are in trouble about half the time) but never seek to know the reader's wants. Your whole duty as a writer is to please and satisfy yourself, and the true writer always plays to an audience of one. When I came upon these words in Strunk and White's classic writing handbook, Elements of Style, I felt pleased as punch. For years I've tried to convince writing … Continue reading

Cheese could be the latest superfood — and by far the tastiest — as it has been shown to help in the fight against type 2 diabetes, according to new research.
Dutch and British experts say eating two slices of cheese a day reduces our risk of getting type 2 diabetes by 12 percent.
They studied the diets of 16,800 healthy adults and 12,400 people with type 2 diabetes in Europe.
Health guidelines currently recommend cutting back on high-fat diary products to prevent diabetes because it's believed the saturated fat increases cholesterol, which raises the risk of diabetes.
But this study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found people who ate 55g of cheese or 55g of yoghurt each day
were 12 percent less likely to develop the condition.
According to the UK's Daily Mail, the researchers said not all saturated fats were harmful and that the probiotic bacteria in cheese and milk could lower cholesterol and provide vitamins that prevent type 2 diabetes.
They also suggested that cheese and yoghurt's vitamin D, calcium and magnesium could help the body ward off the condition.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the body doesn't produce enough of the hormone insulin to convert sugar to energy.
Sufferers have an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, eye disease and kidney disease.
Eating a healthy diet that includes lots of vegetables and getting regular exercise can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

Progress: A Graphical Report on the State of the World
You might recall that the United Nations Statistics Division launched UNdata about one week short of a year ago, which was an improvement on the previous United Nations Commons Database. UNdata provides a gateway into 22 United Nations databases and 66 million records. Yeah, it's a lot of data, but what do we do with it? What does it mean? Progress: A Graphical Report on the State of the World is a modest attempt to make some sense of it all; and by all, I mean a small subset.
I took a step away from code, opened up Adobe Illustrator and R, and did my best to visualize important topics like mortality, population, energy, and environment. It's amazing what you learn when you start digging into data. Did you know the average Niger woman will have seven children in her lifetime?
Some of the report is the graphs that you're used to while a couple were for fun and experimental. Check it out, and let me know what you think (and if you find any mistakes).
A Note About the Data
If you want some real data to work with (as opposed to the clean, fake kind), UNdata is an excellent place to find it. It's sparse, scattered, and oftentimes hard to figure out what the data are about - which is what you should expect. Although for some odd reason I wasn't expecting it to be so tricky to navigate. In any case, you'll notice that some of the pages show only select numbers for certain countries. It's most likely because there wasn't all that much data for that metric... or I just thought the factoid was interesting. More likely the former though. The further back in time you go, the more sparse the data gets.
Anyways, this was fun and I think I'll do it more often. It was nice to get back to where it really all began for me. Any suggestions for the next series of graphics?

Wow. Great layout and interesting charting. I am not a big fan of the fertility map though, the crossing lines confuse me and they are not even necessary after all. Or did I miss a joke there ;)
Other than that, I really like it!
Funny (or ironic), that in the first graph, it's speaking of literacy rates, and "literacy" is misspelled.
@Derek – that was so on purpose :). fixed
great job. what tool do you use?
The greenhouse gases percent changes chart gave me a cognitive overload. Is there any way to describe the same info that requires less mapping and processing by the viewer?
On the Births page, Chad and Burkina Faso (east and west of Niger) are highlighted on the map but not listed on top, and have no lines to them.
Thanks, Amos. Got it.
Hi Nathan, shouldn't be the life expectancy for developing countries 67 years?
Developing countries Total 2007 UNICEF_SOWC_2009 Years 67
Great Visuals! Thnxx for the inspiration!
This looks really nice however, some of the charting detracts from the intent for example the opposing bars for literacy between men and women obscures rather than highlights the difference between the groups since it is very challenging to see the differences in bar lengths when opposed that way (this is true for all the opposing bar charts). Additionally using stack bars to compare different time periods is misleading or misdirecting as stacks generally serve to illustrate ratios within one time slice rather than across multiple. I also second ayemoah's comments on greenhouse gases. I understand you wanted to demonstrate some charting capabilities, but effective data visualization will prioritize the illustration or clarification a complex story above pretty charts. Even if it's boring it's better to pick the chart that meets this objective.
I say good work by you Nathan!
Overall this is great. I suffered a bit from chart fatique having to mentally switch thought processes between different styles of chart. Lots of mental "loading time". /but it's grea tto see someone make use of the data. And the greenhouse gas chart was my favorite.
@Jess – thanks for the tip. didn't give much thought to flow this time around. next time though :)
Pingback: | The Lunar Society
Very well done. I'm actually a bit moved by the data being presented here. Sure, we can all talk about the different means of presenting the data, but let's not forget the practical application that's come from this- you've provided a great service to the world by turning all of that UN data into actual information.
I wish this was many, many pages longer. Any chance of expanding the small subset you've provided us with? Maybe some crowdsourcing opportunity here?
@John – I was planning on adding as many pages as I could, but I _really_ like the crowdsourcing idea. Hmmm…
will volunteer to help.
request style guide and compliant software!
FYI: the R Project link is not working.
http://www.r-project.org will work, but plain r-project.org doesn't. Their issue IMHO but not all of your readers will realize how to fix it. :)

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is a amazing school. It s is very small about 20 students each grade but the teachers are willing to go out of the ie way for students. Teaching Mandarin is another great beneft. There is a lot of homework but this does prep them for Middle School or High School. The area is very safe. They have many events for the school that teaches kids about the world. The school is very family friendly and interactive with the kids. Some of the students went UC Berkeley and Military Schools. I wouldn't go to another school.
As an alumnus of both the elementary, middle, and highschool of CCS, I find this school to be extremely over rated. The quality of the education, teachers, and administration has decreased significantly over the years i attended and continues to do so. The school is more concerned about maintaining its "reputation of excellence" than actually providing the best educational environment possible with the students in mind. Great students excel, and mediocre students suffer being left behind. The amount of homework is beyond what most students can handle realistically. Though the school does live up to its "college preparatory" rigorousness, the reality of the quality of this school no longer matches with its "golden" reputation. I suggest to all parents to seek another school to place your children. This place is not it.
I have two daughters attending CCS. This is our third year at this school. My children absolutely love this school. They are always excited about going to school everyday and the education they are receiving is exceptional. Great School!!!
My daughter has just entered her third year at CCS and there hasn't been a day that I don't thank God I found this place. The teacher's are very loving and take their role as educators seriously. Class size is pretty small at less than 20 students and the children are challenged academically as well as spiritually. The campus is beautiful, safe, inviting and is becoming more diverse each year.
Beautiful campus! great teachers, structured academic programs, supervised after school care and happy, well mannered students! parents are also very involved..because we all want our kids to to do well and have a bright future.
