Tyrone Barnes '14 ~ The Time to Make A Difference is Now
After spending years on the road and caring for thousands of patients, a brief stop back in Tyrone Barnes' hometown of Mobile, Ala., completely changed the direction of his career.
Barnes, who then lived in Houston, Texas, decided to stop by Spring Hill College's division of nursing to visit some old professors. While on campus, he had the chance to speak to Dr. Ola Fox about his dreams and aspirations.
"Dr. Fox listened, and then recommended that I look at Spring Hill's Master of Science in Nursing. The clinical nurse leader (CNL) degree track was exactly what I was looking for—allowing me to operate in an advanced nursing role and maintain frequent contact with patients and healthcare providers," says Barnes. "I already believed in the SHC mission, values and goals, so my decision was easy. I applied right away."
Fox, the Spring Hill College nursing department's graduate program director, remembered Barnes from his undergraduate years at SHC, and particularly, the contributions he made to The Springhillian student newspaper. "He wrote in one of his columns that, 'Personally, I have an insatiable appetite for offering hope and inspiration to others. I think it is fulfilling to know that you have turned a person's day around with a gesture as simple as a smile. I do believe that it is possible to help yourself by…making someone else's life run more smoothly.'"
Dr. Fox observed that Barnes actually described desirable characteristics of a clinical nurse leader. "Tyrone brought his insatiable appetite for offering hope and inspiration to others to the online classroom and his clinical practice as a RN team leader," adds Dr. Fox. "This spirit of selflessly caring about the lives of others had made him a trusted leader among his fellow students. I am proud to be a part of his journey to advance his nursing education."
While in graduate school, Barnes worked as a telemetry and oncology nurse at Springhill Medical Center, a level II trauma hospital. His responsibilities included caring for a vast array of patient populations with various health issues, counseling families, and collaborating with healthcare providers to formulate patient treatment plans.
"It was a challenge to balance work and my courses," says Barnes. "During graduate school, I worked weekends only in order to have consecutive weekdays off to complete class assignments and participate in clinical activities. I would often steal away to Burke Memorial Library or computer lab for a quiet space to complete my classwork. I quickly learned how to make the most of my time and adhere to a strict schedule."
During his graduate studies, Barnes worked most closely with Dr. Fox, his advisor, but found the caliber of nursing professors at Spring Hill College to be exceptional.
"They all bring a variety of thoughts and ideas to the intellectual table, nurturing students, and encouraging open-mindedness," says Barnes. "My favorite course during the program was Theoretical Principles of Leadership and Management. In this class, I learned how to align my thoughts and ideas with structured theories and rules that I will use in the field as a clinical nurse leader."
Barnes completed Spring Hill's nursing program and graduated with his MSN in May. His career plans include securing a position as a clinical nurse leader, completing several nursing practice and teaching certifications, and, later, pursuing a doctorate of nursing practice, the terminal degree for an advanced practicing nurse.
"My experiences as a nurse and as a graduate student at Spring Hill College have taught me to be the change I would like to see in the world," says Barnes. "There is no future like the present and the time to make a difference in one's life is now. I believe that these are the sort of leaders that Spring Hill College fashions and puts forth into the world."
For those students new to Spring Hill College and graduate school, Barnes advises time management, hard work, and continuous improvement, as well as rest and relaxation.
"There are a myriad of great opportunities that await those who work diligently and prioritize accordingly," says Barnes. "A critical adult concept I am trying to master now is to think ahead so that I do not get behind. However, it is also important to take a break every once in a while. After all, most people only get to experience college once."
In his free time, Barnes enjoys movies, video games, and spends time with friends, family, and his Labrador Retriever. He has an 11-year-old sister named Ashanti, an honor roll student at Clark-Shaw Magnet Middle School and member of the Port City Blazers basketball team.

New Year's resolution for LDS couple becomes daily reading challenge for thousands
"Our testimonies have grown in many, many ways," he said. "We have seen that our lives seem happier, our conversations are more positive, our parenting is kinder, our patience is longer and our marriage has been stronger. We find ourselves discussing the scriptures throughout the day and applying them to our lives. Chelsea and I both served missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and we agree we have felt the hand of the Lord in motivating us just as we felt on our missions. Reading everyone's testimonies and drawing from each other's strength has been empowering and exciting."
The Princes discovered after doing a post asking where their readers are from and learned there are followers in South America, Europe, Asia, South Africa, Australia, Canada and the United States.
They feel that President Gordon B. Hinckley's promise from August 2005, when he said, "Those who read The Book of Mormon will be blessed with an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, a greater resolve to obey his commandments and a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God," has become true for them through the experience.
Ben said he and his wife "have recognized the amazing blessings from being a part of this so-called 'largest book club of the greatest book ever written,' " as one participant told the couple.
Ben Prince added that he and Chelsea are encouraging everyone to join in on the conversation and the challenge of reading The Book of Mormon daily, and that it is never too late to start following.
The Princes live in Glendale, Ariz., and have a daughter, Hadley, who is 18 months old. Ben is in his second year of medical school at Midwestern University.

Snowfall is often just measured by its depth in inches (or centimeters). But there are other important factors to consider. The density, the temperature, and the crystal shape all greatly affect how the snow behaves when you try to work with it. So it might be useful if we also measured other properties of snow as well.
For instance, if you have to shovel snow, the thing that you are most concerned about is the weight of the snow. To measure this, I made a simple scale that can be read remotely. This lets you monitor the snowfall from the comfort of your warm house. It makes a great addition to any DIY home weather station.
In order to be able to monitor the scale remotely we need to separate the load cell and the monitoring circuit. To do this, first unscrew the load cell and the circuit board from the housing. Then disconnect the load cell cable from the connector pins on the circuit board.
Mount all the parts back in their original locations on the housing. Once everything is in place, turn on the scale and test it to make sure that it is working properly. If not, check to make sure that all the wires are connected to the correct pins.
After cutting the housing, each section is open on one side. To prevent anything from getting inside, I sealed the opening with a small piece of scrap plastic. I traced the outline of the opening onto a sheet of clear plastic. Then I cut out the plastic and attached it to the opening with hot glue. This does not make a perfect seal. If you want it to be weather proof, then you should sealants that are designed for exterior weather proofing.
A flat plate can miss snow that is blown at an angle. To account for this, you can add a small bowl to the plate. The sides of the board will help to catch and hold the snow so that it does not blow off of the plate. I found a small plastic bowl that fit on the plate. I drilled a few small holes in the bottom to allow melted snow to drain out. Then I mounted the bowl to the plate with hot glue.
Now all you need to do is position the sensor outside and wait for it to snow. I mounted the digital readout on the inside of my kitchen window and I placed the sensor a few feet out into the yard. You can either place the scale on the ground or you can hang it from a plant hanger. Make sure that it is out in the open where it will receive direct snowfall.
If you do not wish to use the original monitoring circuit, you also have the option of using an Arduino instead. If the load cell of your scale uses a simple strain gauge, you can wire it in series with a fixed resistor and use the Arduino's AnalogRead function to measure the voltage of the center pin. If your load cell outputs series data, that can be read directly with the serial read function. Using an Arduino gives you quite a few options as to how you will monitor and process your snowfall data.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Golden Age
Couples and those who'd like to see some classic era French porn should find this charming, as well as erotic.
Francois has a problem. Although he's good looking enough, he can't make time with chicks - probably because he has the charisma of a cold baked potato. Fortunately his hip and handsome roommate knows just the woman to teach his friend how to become wildly successful with the ladies. After a few unique lessons, Francois is a new man, and his dick is getting plenty of action.
Although the images in the still gallery tend to be washed out, the 1984 release itself is good-natured, light, friendly, sexy and a pleasant flashback to the days of pubic hair, as well as a reminder that porn can be fun. Figuring out who's who can be a challenge, since the names on the box aren't the same on the disk and everything's so very, very French.

Jacques Dupuis Faces the Inquisition
Two Essays by Jacques Dupuis on Dominus Iesus and the Roman Investigation of His Work
Edited by William R. Burrows
Pickwick Publications, $25, 197 pp.
This book documents the travails and the courage of the late Jacques Dupuis, the Jesuit priest and theologian whose work on what he called "a Christian theology of religious pluralism" drew scrutiny from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith during the last decade of his life. Dupuis was known not only for his pioneering work in theology of religions, but also for his detailed knowledge of the history of Catholic doctrine, which bore fruit in multiple editions of a comprehensive compendium of doctrinal statements, The Christian Faith, which he co-edited along with fellow Jesuit Josef Neuner, and which he was updating to include statements of Pope John Paul II at the time his work was being investigated. He was not, in short, a likely suspect for the charge of neglecting or endangering the church's doctrine. Nevertheless, at the end of his career he found himself ensnared in doctrinal disagreements that took a great personal toll. Jacques Dupuis Faces the Inquisition tells the story of this ordeal.
Born in 1923 in Belgium, Dupuis entered the Society of Jesus during World War II, and in 1948 went to India, where he would remain for the next thirty-six years....

*My ticket into the Shirts on Sale Sad Rat Race
Bah! Missed this shirt? To buy it, click here!
ehh. was hoping for a tie.
Love it. got one. Can't wait. Hope to see more like this
They say 3's a lucky number, and I have a couple goin' on today ;-)
Thanks to everyone who voted.
For those of you who'd like more insight into my thought process:
...It's definitely a revolt against 'the man'. The sort of 'get up on your chair and burn your tie' sort of thing anyone who feels confined within the four walls of a cubicle can appreciate all too well. It's the kind of revolution that compels someone full of creativity to break all social morés (and possibly some laws) in order to express themselves.
Break out of the box and be you (or something).
Am I the only one who thought the hand was flipping the bird for second?
LOVE this shirt! In!
<3 Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
Was hoping this would win.
You, sir, have been purchased.
Fourth time's the charm!
Congrats on the win, dude- I know a lot of people have been rooting for this to win for a long time.
The sunset idea is awesome

i thought the same thing.
i had to bring my husband in to see what he thought
I don't get it... can someone explain the meaning behind this shirt? Is this some commentary regarding 9/11?
Even though I loathe objectivism, I love the Ayn Rand reference in the color description. 3rd shirt.woot purchase in the 1 or 2 weeks I've been on this site.
Nice design!
Not for me sadly.
Me too.
I thought this design was pretty cool, but I'm not getting it for two reasons.
1) Already bought a shirt this weekend.
2) The print seems large, which will look awkward.
Hmm.. do I like this?
Yay Derek!
thought it was a "shocker" for a second.
This one and Scientific Revolution were the only ones I voted for, so either way I was buying. Grats on the win, though my preference was for the other :P
carp wrote:I don't get it... can someone explain the meaning behind this shirt? Is this some commentary regarding 9/11?
More like commentary regarding Wall Street, just as the title states. The corporate life is rigid and boring. This shows someone rebelling against it.
I gotta have this shirt!
Man, I can't wait for the Chocolate Cake Shirt Derby!
In for 1, more shirts like this woot!
nice shirt
i wish this was on a diff color shirt though (even though it prolly wouldnt have looked as good) cause i have too many asphalt shirts now
and damm shirt designers designing so many cool shirts, making me spend so much money on shirt.woot.com
<Gordon Gecko Voice>Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.</Gordon Gecko Voice>
Congrats Derek! Nice!
For those keeping track, this got third place by a single vote ;-)
Nice, I got the risk one earlier and in for one of these.
How do you vote on shirts??

Ayn Rand FTW! But, I don't like the shirt. So it's not really a win.
I wouldve liked this shirt more if I could actually SEE everything on it. I couldnt see the spraycan until the artist zoomed in on it in the submission.
Congrats derek! I knew this shirt was a winner from the get go...
Congrats Derek. Long time coming. Well deserved.
ha ha ha so did ! that is super funny.
that previous post of mine refers to the "it looks like the shocker" comment. forgot the reference, sorry all!

wheee derek, i love this shirt, i just have 90% asphalt shirts already
wait, did that make sense? probalby not, im in pain and on vicodin right anow, sry

I'm the opposite. This shirt FTW! But, I don't like Ayn Rand. So it really is a win.
Though mainly I like the fact that I get to buy cool, cheap shirts from a site that assumes it's users will get a John Galt reference. Good times.
Oh yeah, grats Derek, cool shirt.

Released: Feb 01st, 2007
Running Time: 166
Director: Diana DeVoe
Company: The Candy Box
Cast: Nat Turnher, John E Depth, Jean-Claude Batiste, Sydney Capri, Ricki White, Luscious Lopez, Alayah Sashu, Cookie (I), Naomi (I), Tyler Knight
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
The idea here is basic: put together a collection of black, Latin and vaguely ethnic-looking women and throw them together with black dudes. Oh, yeah, and make sure that the ladies have big butts.
The action never really rises above the generic, but fans of ethnic diversity will probably find some enjoyable moments in this video.
At the very least, the scenes are lengthy.
The three-way between Luscious Lopez, Naomi and John E. Depth sounds like it could have some potential, but no matter what these girls do, they don't seem to be able to arouse Mr. Depth beyond half-mast. Weird.
Retailing: Ethnic-themed release for lovers of the big booty.

I don't want to be known as a Dalit filmmaker. I touch upon caste inequalities in my films because I've been affected by it. Even if I don't belong to the oppressed community, I would have continued to speak about inequalities in the society," he said
Late Thursday, Dhanush posted a photo of himself with Rajinikanth, to whose daughter Aishwaryaa he is married
Dhanush is one actor who has successfully managed to come out of his brother Selvaraghavan's wings and the star halo of his father-in-law Rajinikanth. From Thulluvadho Ilamai till Thanga Magan, the journey of this unlikely star has been nothing short of phenomenal
Mahasweta Devi died at a city nursing home on Thursday following prolonged illness, an attending doctor said. She was 90. She is survived by her daughter-in-law and grandchild
"More details soon just wanted to update you it's been way too long but I hope worth the wait will connect soon again," he said
While she may have been disappointed, Radhika soon had reason to cheer up. All it took was a telephone call from Thalaivar . Radhika, clearly thrilled, said, "He called me to congratulate me. Can you imagine such a huge superstar doing that?
"It means a lot when a story so close to my heart and which is universal gets applauded and accepted by the foreign audience," said Madhavan
"In Bollywood, directors have greater faith in actors. You can see an Alia Bhatt portraying a pock-marked rural woman in Udta Punjab which is a departure from her micro-flaunting image. In Bengali cinema, the directors are not willing to experiment with me," said Swastika Mukherjee
Kaatru Veliyidai is Mani Ratnam's new film being shot in Ooty with Southern actor Suriya's brother Karthi and Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari playing the lead roles. Karthi is reportedly playing a pilot. Now Balaji has been roped in to play the role of the hero's friend
Kamal Haasan is also revising his choice of cinematographer - Jaya Krishna Gummadi, as he is unhappy with the pace in which he is working. Hopefully this reshuffle will work for the best
"As much as I love to do commercial films, a touching romantic film like Mani Ratnam's Geethanjali will satiate my creative appetite," Raashi said in a statement
Here's a part of the letter's contents: "I returned to India after hearing the huge success of Kabali and witnessed it in person after coming here and am thrilled. So, heartfelt thanks the crew, director, producer, co-actors, fans, public, youth, women, media friends, theatre owners."

im not for either side really, but how can you say that obama isnt socialist?
O.k. lets just say for the sake of arguement that what the republicans are spinning is true.
It's a socialist IDEA, It doesn't make him a Socialist NOR does it mean as that he would implement all aspects of socialism in this country. So why keep hammering the word "socialist" around? same as why they like to hammer the word "terrorist" around, and soon they'll bring out the "racist" charge too i bet. Hell they might even call him a Nazi too.
This is ALL Republican Spin:
What these republican talking heads on T.V. want is for those "Joe Six Packs (now plumbers)" everywhere to believe Obama is some sort of secret socialist, secret terrorist, unamerican, closet racist, closet muslim, crazy person that will ruin America. Give Me a fuckin break.
I know what your republican handbooks says:
When someone calls you out on spreading FEAR and HATE, simply claim that you are pointing out certain facts, and that it is crazy people who are coming to these conclusions.
I just said "Obama associated with a terrorist." It's up to them to find out that it wasn't a Muslim terrorist with dynamite strapped to his chest who would fly a plane into a building. I simply said that "other people claim that he is a Muslim" or that i heard "he wasn't born in the U.S." I never told them it was true (never tell them it's false either). I said that his plan "sounded like socialism", I never said he was a socialist.
Again, I'm just a simple Poor Unamerican Socialist terrorist supporter, so what do I know........

Pay no attention to the low ranking for Canmore - just look at the reviews. This is very definitely one of the very best B&Bs we have ever stayed in. We stayed for 5 nights and were treated with the most amazing hospitality the whole time we were there. We loved our room, the area, the house and closeness to Canmore. It was great to just walk 10 minutes into the centre of this small town after our days hiking. It seemed to us a much better town to stay in than Banff - we were very pleased that we did. The whole experience made this the best place we stayed in during our month in the Rockies. Ann and Pat have thought of everything - and are such delightful company with many helpful suggestions for things to do. The only small point that I didn't like was the rather sweet "Canadian Breakfasts" but that is really a question of taste only. If you like pancakes, waffles, sweet French toast etc. you will definitely like this. However the breakfasts are beautifully presented and we loved the baking, the fruit and the muffins "to go". What more can I say - we would never consider staying anywhere else if we were to find ourselves in Canmore. You will not be disappointed if you go to Hidden Falls,
- Also Known As:
- Hidden Falls Bed And Breakfast Canmore, Alberta

Rated 4 out of 5 by 518 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ox1977 Air conditioning issue The air conditioning unit was very loud and we had to keep shutting it off to get some sleep. As the windows did not open we were alternately sweating or kept awake by the noisy unit. The bathroom light was also giving off a loud buzzing electrical noise so we had the on site engineer come to change the bulbs which fixed that noise issue. I do not recommend this hotel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave61 Excellent Service We had a 2 day conference and I was very pleased with the service and the food. The rooms are very comfortable and the beds are great. June 7, 2016

They were even nice enough to watch my luggage for me after I already checked out, so I could go for a walk around town and shop for souvenirs at my leisure. The door lady was kind enough to check up on me to make sure I had a ride to the bus station when it was time to go home. May 27, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by FC16 Beautiful Weekend in Portsmouth! We had two rooms booked for our family for the weekend as our daughter was getting her Masters degree from UNH. We celebrated the occasion Portsmouth in the evening and thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities offered by the Sheraton Portsmouth. The hotel and the people were exceedingly pleasant and welcoming especially the bartender on duty on Saturday night. WE have enjoyed his conversations during prior visits and always have found him fun to talk with while enjoying a cocktail. Looking forward to our next visit to Portsmouth and the Sheraton!

The paper did run a preview of the year of Reagan on Thursday - Jennifer Medina's slightly irreverent story began [1]:
Ronald Reagan would have turned 100 this Sunday, and nearly seven years after his death, one might think he were still alive and leading the Republican Party.
Otherwise, the Times marked Reagan's 100th with a column by his liberal biographer Edmund Morris [2], author of "Dutch," about accompanying Reagan on a visit to his hometown. It began: "Back in 1992, when Ronald Reagan first began to be strange...." Morris celebrated the former president's inherent sense of good manners while emphasizing his well-documented mental deterioration. This excerpt encapsulates Morris's piece:
...he was once again an old man in retreat - withdrawn, halting and perplexed. Yet I noted that he remained standing until every woman in our party had sat down. Of all Ronald Reagan's innate qualities, his gentlemanliness was the last to atrophy.
Departing reporter Deborah Solomon had a Q&A with liberal documentary filmmaker Eugene Jarecki [3], whose "Reagan" doc will premiere on HBO Monday night. Some of her unusually friendly questions to the Reagan-hostile "Eisenhower Republican" are below.
Solomon: Your new documentary, "Reagan," which makes its premiere on HBO on Feb. 7 in honor of the president's 100th birthday, includes some wonderful footage of Reagan as a small-town lifeguard, a handsome figure in his swimming trunks who happened to be severely nearsighted. Did you intend that as some kind of metaphor?Later Solomon ludicrously classified two of Jarecki's documentaries as "evenhanded."
Jarceki: That's exactly right. He had certain blind spots in his priorities but an absolutely genuine desire to be a person who could save people's lives. No question.
Solomon: He is right up there with Walt Disney or Norman Rockwell as the creator of a mythic America characterized by the goodness of its citizens.
Jarecki: Yes. He presented himself as the friend to Main Street America, and yet that aw-shucks persona ended up packaging policies and programs that were at times deeply injurious to the very people he swore to serve. After all, Reaganomics set in motion one of the largest wealth redistributions in American history, away from the poor and toward the rich.
Solomon: Are you a Republican?
Jarecki: You can call me an Eisenhower Republican. There is a gigantic gulf between an Eisenhower Republican and the kind of fringe brand of Republicanism that is being so vocally promoted today.
Solomon: As a filmmaker whose documentaries include "Why We Fight" and "The Trials of Henry Kissinger," you are known for being evenhanded, which makes you something of an anomaly. Who ever imagined that editorial neutrality would one day be seen as a challenge to the status quo?
Jarecki: It's funny, I think that all the time. We've reached the point of such hysteria and the stupidification of the American discourse that to simply approach a subject in a measured fashion is to totally jam the circuits that currently exist for that kind of communication. There are just so few channels for moderation. There are only channels for the radio-static noise of hyperbole on all sides.
New York Post movie critic Kyle Smith [4] wasn't nearly as impressed with Jarecki's work:
Knowing that painting devil's horns on Reagan won't work, Jarecki tries to seduce Reagan fans with a relatively friendly opening 45 minutes, making use of fond memories from aides, showing clips of Reagan's many hilarious quips....Then "Reagan," like Carter, falls under the spell of its own malaise. It first harrumphs that Reaganomics only worked for the richest 2% (that the middle and even working classes never believed this continues to wound the pundits' sense of expertise), then segues to a tired 12-minute rant on the supposed all-consuming importance of the Iran-Contra affair, which never really alarmed Americans.
Predictably, the Times' television reporter Alessandra Stanley liked Jarecki's work [5].
Let's close with a last Reagan-hating Times quote from the archive, courtesy of MRC's Tim Graham, who has compiled a great collection of Reagan-hating quotes from the mainstream media over the years, showing how reporters, anchors and editors despised the 40th president even after he left office.
Here's one from Howell Raines in 1993, who served as Times executive editor for nine turbulent months between September 2001 and June 2002:
"I don't shield my politics in this book, as I do in much of my journalism, as I've been disciplined to do. The Reagan years oppressed me because of the callousness and the greed and the hard-hearted attitude toward people who have very little in this society, so all of that came together at around age 40 for me." - New York Times editorial page editor and former Washington bureau chief Howell Raines on the PBS talk show Charlie Rose, November 17, 1993.

This past week we reported on fan projects to help you celebrate the 25th anniversary of Metroid. One of the standout projects on the list was "Harmony of a Hunter," a compilation album consisting of over 30 tracks that revisit the musical history of the Metroid franchise. We had the opportunity to discuss the project with Darren Kerwin, director of the project and administrator of Shinesparkers.net, the Metroid fansite handling the project. In this e-mail interview, Kerwin recounts his musical and video game influences that led him to take on the "Harmony" project, and discusses some of his dream projects.
"Harmony of a Hunter" is available for download at Shinesparkers.net and music from the project will be featured in VGW's upcoming 25th Anniversary Metroid Rock Party on turntable.fm!
VGW: What is your background in music?
Darren Kerwin (DK): Music has always been a great passion for me, especially the video game music genre. I love how I can connect with a moment in a game, whether it's an epic battle against an evil overlord or a journey through a vast alien world. If the moment stands out to me as a great gaming moment, everything from that experience, including its music will stick with me. It was certainly the case with Metroid and although I don't have the same musical talent of these great musicians from Harmony of a Hunter, I am passionate about music from a franchise I love.
Due to the fact that I adore the franchise and listen to its soundtracks so much, including many remixes and arrangements, I feel I can identify good music from a fans point of view and this is why I felt confident enough to go ahead with organising this project.
VGW: Do you have any stand-out memories of your time playing video games? Of playing the Metroid series specifically?
DK: When it comes to video games in general, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past stands out to me. Entering the Dark World for the first time and realising just how vast the game actually is, was special to me. Metroid had many stand-out memories for me throughout the series. Two that come to mind immediately are when Meta Ridley swoops down on the Artifact Temple to destroy Samus just after she has collected all twelve artifacts, which I found to be a shocking twist to the game when I least expect it.
The climatic battle against Mother Brain in Super Metroid with Samus almost dying and the baby Metroid's sacrificing itself to save her immediately also comes to mind and illustrates just how special the series is in my opinion.
VGW: Do you have a favorite level or level music from the Metroid series?
DK: I feel that one of the greatest pieces of music from the Metroid franchise is Brinstar Vegetation from Super Metroid, it suited the organic environment perfectly. I've also found the digital and electronic sounding music of the Sanctury Fortress from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes compliments the futuristic area very well.
VGW: Besides Metroid, what other games have you found to be inspirational or otherwise among your favorites?
DK: I enjoy a wide variety of games on many platforms and for varied reasons. I am a big fan of the Mass Effect series, the first game had a great story and had characters I could connect with and care about. It also had a threat that was so huge that you felt helpless, and was one of the first games I had to make tough decisions in, knowing that my actions would alter and affect the story. It's one that has inspired me to play more RPG's and a title I highly recommend. Another series I grew up with was Monkey Island, I loved the humour throughout the game and there's plenty of memorable character. I've not found a point and click adventure game quite like it since, except maybe Flight of the Amazon Queen on the Amiga 1200… which was one of my first proper gaming experiences.
VGW: What led you to found Shinesparkers.net?
DK: After visiting various Metroid websites on the internet since I became a fan in 2004 and although many of them had a lot of content covering the games, I felt there was a lack of exclusive interviews and content. I wanted to offer fans of the series a further website that they could visit if they wanted to read interviews from people who worked on the games, and the opportunity to have questions answered that they had always speculated about, from the people themselves. It's not the only aspect of our website though, we have always aimed to have up to date and accurate Metroid news, with a keen interest on working closely with other Metroid websites to help promote their own features.
Our site has been very communicative with various big names and we have networked with a variety of people in the industry. Because of this, we have had great interviews with some noteworthy people such as Nate Bihldorff, Gene Kohler, Mike Sneath and Tommy Tallarico to name but a few. We feel very privileged that they gave us the opportunity to speak to them and I hope that the fans appreciate the things that we're doing.
VGW: When did you get the idea to take on a project like Harmony of a Hunter?
DK: When I realised that Metroid was soon to reach its 25th anniversary, I started to think about what our website could do to mark the anniversary. One idea that I had was to put together a Metroid album covering tracks that had never been covered before. I was already in touch with a lot of musicians who I had spoken to for years and I felt it would be a good idea to pull together those people to work on a project to celebrate this historic milestone in Metroid's legacy.
I made some suggestions on the Overclocked Remix forums to see if such a project could get started and get off the ground, hoping to gather interest and suggestions of tracks. The members there were very supportive and it was great to see so many of them get involved to make up the numbers. We got some fantastic suggestions that I wouldn't have first thought of and it was great to see more thoughts been expressed on the project. When I saw that the Metroid community welcomed my idea, it was satisfying and gave me that drive to ensure the project would be completed.
VGW: How did you get in touch with all the collaborating artists?
DK: I sourced musicians from various parts of the internet and as I explained in the previous question, I already had quite a number of friends who were musicians. We set up our project on Overclocked Remix forums and felt it was a great place to recruit further members into the project, to gather ideas and suggestions from video game music fans. I also gathered musicians from places such as YouTube, Newgrounds and individual websites. The response was positive and it was great to see so many people want to take part in the project. They should all be very proud with what they've achieved.
VGW: What were some of the challenges of putting a project like this together?
DK: From the beginning I was focused on having the album out in time for the anniversary. I started recruiting for the project in December 2010 and at first, there wasn't many people taking it seriously. I feel it was a huge project for the OCRemix community fathom, a community known to have lots of projects come and go every month, and my main challenge was to prove myself to the users of OCR and the wider Metroid community that the project was different, one that was worth supporting and to show them that I was going to be there to do what I could to make it happen. I knew that with my passion for the series and my focus on creating a suitable tribute for Metroid's 25th anniversary, that I had to have some reasonable success, I wasn't going to abandon it.
VGW: If Harmony of a Hunter is a success, do you have plans to do any further projects of this kind?
DK: Right now I would like to see how Harmony of a Hunter progresses, so far it has broke all expectations for me. It was meant to be a tribute for the Metroid fan community and Metroid fans, but it seems to have developed into a tribute for gamers as a whole. So many people are supporting the project and I have received around a hundred e-mails and messages of support in a period of just a few days, passing on their kind regards for Shinesparkers putting together this project. Unfortunately at this time I am unable to say for certain if I could put something like this together again, but let's see what the future holds, never say never!
VGW: If you could name the "top of your wish list" musical project to work on, what would it be?
DK: An ideal musical project for me would be to contribute my ideas to a future Metroid game and if possible, to work with Kenji Yamamoto on it. It would be an absolute honour! I'd also love to work on anything with Sam Dillard, that man is a genius! (http://www.samostudios.com)

I would like to be able to place a drop down on my pages at the top of my web site and add more data. Is their a program that will accomplish this? the two I have been experimenting with actually have you go to Widgets and add them to the Links area so it is clear that is where they will be displayed.
I want it to work just like on WordPress home page , when I bring the mouse over the "Home" page I get a drop down selection of options.

More than a month ago moved to WordPress with a DB import of 9200 articles. Reading up on permalinks I decided to use %postname% as the best permalink structure for SEO.
Traffic has gone from a steady 2500 pageviews a day to a steady 700 pageviews a day.
Google bot has indexed the 9200 articles with the new structure.
Google Tools shows 1000 server errors about /categorey and /authors.
Google Tools also shows 350,000 urls not found, most seem to be /archives. It is now also showing a DNS error and refuses to crawl.
This is the new permalink stucture google has successfully indexed
This is the old permalink that most of the 9200 articles have out there.
A simple .htaccess 301 access /archive does not work because of the number and the slash.
Any advice or direction to help would be appreciated.

SourceForts is a Half Life 2: Deathmatch mod where Combine and Rebels face off in capture-the-flag action with a big twist. Players build bases and other structures with blocks and plates in the "build phase" to protect themselves and their team's flag (which is actually a ball), and then duke it out and try to capture the enemy's flag in the "combat phase". Once the combat phase has ended, it's back to build, where players can repair, improve, and change their creations to ready them for the next combat phase.

SEOUL, Oct. 24 (Yonhap) -- The local currency's gain to the U.S. dollar has exerted reduced negative impacts on the South Korean economy, a report showed Thursday, indicating that the pursuit of a weaker won may not necessarily be good.
The report by the Woori Finance Research Institute showed that usually the won's gain dents Seoul's exports, but as imports of capital and consumer goods are on the rise, the won's strength has reduced the value of expenses, increasing real purchasing power.
A stronger won generally erodes the price competitiveness of exports as it makes prices of Korean goods more expensive in overseas markets.
"The won's appreciation to the dollar negatively affects the Korean economy. But compared with the past, such negative impacts have eased on the local economy due to several factors like changes in industrial structures," the report said.
Exports account for about 50 percent of the Korean economy, but at the same time, Korea has increasingly imported capital goods as intermediary for overseas shipments.
As of 2011, imports of consumer goods accounted for 7.5 percent of consumer spending and government spending, up from 3.9 percent in 1995, the institute said, citing data from the central bank.
Imports of capital goods accounted for 14.4 percent of the total investment from the private sector and the government in 2011, up from 10.4 percent in 1995.
The report came as the local currency has appreciated 1.4 percent against the greenback so far this year amid an influx of foreign capital and brisk exports.

The CAF Appeals Board at its sitting at CAF Headquarters in Cairo on 18th August 2014 to examine the appeal filed Adel Amrouche, former coach of Kenya, decided to revise the decision of the Disciplinary Board of 17th July 2014.
The Disciplinary Board suspended Amrouche for twelve months (12) based on reports from match officials of the match No. 8, Comoros vs Kenya, played May 30, 2014 in the Comoros city of Mistamiouli which counted towards the first round of qualifiers for the Orange Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco 2015.
The report of the referee of the match and the match commissioner argued that the Kenya coach spat at the fourth referee and was subsequently sent off from the match.
The Appeal Board, considering the officials' reports, the testimony of Adel Amrouche and having reviewed new evidence on the record, including the DVD of the game, the images provided by the appellant and the testimony of the Comoros coach who was a "direct eyewitness" of the altercation, concluded that there was "no certainty as to the facts alleged against the appellant."
However, based on the DVD, the Appeal Board found that the behaviour of the Kenyan coach throughout the match was not blameless. He repeatedly engaged in disrespectful attitudes against the central referee of the match and the fourth referee, especially following his ejection.
For these and other reasons in the decision, the Board of Appeal acknowledged that Adel Amrouche was responsible for having violated sections 82, 83 of the CAF Disciplinary Code (CDC); relating respectively to the principle of conduct (82) and responsibility (83).
The Board of Appeal CAF under the provisions of Articles 31, 32, 33, 82, 83, 88, 117 and 129 of the CDC and Article 36 of the Regulations of the African Cup of Nations' sanctioned Adel AMROUCHE with a suspension of six (6) matches without a presence on the reserve bench for anti-sporting behaviour effective 30 May, 2014. The Board further imposed a fine of US$10,000. Costs and expenses relating to the proceedings before the Appeals Board CAF were charged to the appellant pursuant to the provisions of Article 58 of the Disciplinary Code of CAF. "

North Korea has been working feverishly on constructing its first-ever ski resort, a lavish project that young leader Kim Jong Un personally set as a top national priority. But it has hit a major snag: It can't get ski lifts because of sanctions.
Unlike nuclear weapons or medium-range missiles, North Korea doesn't have the technology to make its own ski lifts. But the countries that do make them all tend to be in the West, where new sanctions imposed in March make it illegal to sell luxury goods to the Hermit Kingdom.
Finally, North Korea tried to import from a Swiss company, offering $7.7 million for the lifts. (...) When the Swiss government blocked the deal, Pyongyang had had enough. It issued a furious response via official state outlet KCNA, declaring, 'This is an intolerable mockery of the social system and the people of the DPRK and a serious human rights abuse that politicizes sports and discriminates against the Koreans.'

Scalito No More!
In today's decision, U.S. v. Gonzalez-Lopez, Justices Scalia and Alito broke into separate camps on the issue of counsel choice. Scalia, writing (surely with contrarian joy) for the liberal majority, held that a court's improper denial of an individual's counsel of choice was a constitutional error requiring automatic reversal. Alito, dissenting – and not respectfully either! – argued that there was something wrong with the idea that a person could end up with a better lawyer than he'd have preferred, but still score a new trial.
I'll post at a bit more length in a little while. But I thought it interesting to see these supposed doppelgangers divide so neatly. (And even more so to see a little attitude show through in the opposing opinions.)
Mind you, I'm not holding my breath.

Apple Inc. is violating federal disability laws by using flat-screen point of sale devices that blind and visually impaired customers can't use without risking identity theft, a federal class action contends.
Because flat screens provide no tactile clues for the location of the numbers on the device's face, a person with visual disabilities using a debit card must tell the clerk what his or her personal identification number is to complete the transaction, according to the suit filed Feb. 28 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
The complaint in David New v. Apple Inc. said the absence of any safe accommodation for the visually impaired violates Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. New is blind and encountered the inaccessible keypad at an Apple store in Miami Beach.
The complaint said checkout devices with tactilely discernible keypad surfaces are readily available and are used by many retail merchants. The suit seeks an injunction directing Apple to update or replace its devices.
Tiffany Anderson and Andrew Boese of Leon Cosgrove, in Coral Gables, Fla., represent New.

I thought I would ask y'all since everyone over here is in a similar situation as me. I have no idea what to get my YDS (2 months) for Christmas, I have tons of ideas ODS (15months) he needs clothes new "older" toys etc. But my YDS has all of the clothes and toys my first had. And since they are so close in age everything is still like new. We don't have a ton of money so I dont want to get a bunch of little baby toys that wont end up getting played with (b/c ODS had a ton so we already have a lot). Don't get me wrong im fine with getting him some toys, I just need some ideas of toys that will get played with. What kind of things are you getting for your youngest, and what good toys do you have that your kiddos love?

How about just wrapping some of the existing presents? I did this for my ODD when she was about 14 months at Easter. I took a few toys away so that they seemed new to her! She had no clue and being that your YDS will only be about 3 months he definately will not know the difference. As a more significant gift you can make an investment for him or buy stock at Oneshare.com or get him a personalized blanket...soomething that will be uniquely his.
Mommy to ***Avery Elizabeth 01/07/08 and Lillian Grace 05/29/09***
I had thought about re-wrapping other toys. Even ODS would think they were new (they have been packed away since he stopped playing with them). I really just want to make sure he has gifts under the tree so later when they watch the videos and see the pictures he won't wonder why Santa didn't bring him anything!

Female migration in Chile: Types of moves and socioeconomic characteristics

This paper examines inter-provincial female migration in Chile for the 1965–1970 period, with a view to describing socioeconomic characteristics of migrant women and to determining differences and similarities in age, educational level, occupation, and type of move (first, return, or repeat) between movers to the capital and to other urban areas. Data are from a five percent sample of the 1970 Chilean census. Findings reveal that non-return migrants to other urban areas are differentiated from those to Santiago by an older age structure, higher educational levels, higher status occupations, and are more likely to be making a second (or higher-order) move. Moreover, educational measures suggest that recent female migration to urban Chile is more prevalent among the upper than the lower strata of the society.

More than 40 seniors from Spencer County High School gathered at Spencer Christian Church Sunday night for the 2016 Baccalaureate Service. They were challenged and encouraged through song and through speeches as they prepare to complete their high school graduation and move on to college or careers.
Property Transfers
The following property transfers were recorded in the Spencer County Clerk's office from April 27 through May 16, 2016.
Taylorsville Development, LLC, Taylorsville, KY., to Betty De Baun and Michael De Baun, Louisville, KY. Lots 11 and 12 of Cochran Hill Subdivision. $30,000.
Douglas D. Hammons and Victoria A. Hammons, Monticello, KY., to Kathryn Doyle, Taylorsville, KY. Property at 61 Loretta Drive, Taylorsville. $168,500.
The Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) is in discussions with Western Kentucky University and the University of Kentucky to study the viability of hops production in the Commonwealth, Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles said.
Once again, we enjoyed sweet potatoes all winter long from a fantastic harvest last fall. I planted out about 25 organic slips in Shepherdsville in late May, and by early November we had four nursery crates full of one of nature's perfect foods. Seven months and counting in storage with no spoilage is impressive. We are down to about a dozen sweet potatoes; just in time for a transition to other summer vegetables.
In a year or two, expect to find Marianne Gaddie teaching high school agriculture, or perhaps working as an extension agent.
The 2013 Spencer County High School graduate is working this summer as an intern at the Spencer County Cooperative Extension Office. She started May 16, and she'll be putting in 40- to 60-hour weeks all summer.
This fall, Gaddie will be a senior at Morehead State University, where she's an agriculture education major.
Many in the business community didn't know what to expect when the 2016 General Assembly convened in early January. Gov. Bevin had just been sworn in a few weeks before after a contentious gubernatorial campaign, House Democrats were barely hanging on to their majority after several key appointments and party flipping by members, and there was a special election for four seats in the House that had the potential to shift the balance of power.
Large cities have a problem with violence. Whether it's Chicago, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Miami or any other metropolis from sea to shining sea, American cities are among the most dangerous places you can live.
If you spend any time watching network or cable news, or perusing the mainstream media, you likely associate that violence with the presence of guns. The theme many push is that the more guns in a community, the more dangerous that place becomes.
Monday is Memorial Day and for millions of Americans, it's a day to celebrate the unofficial start of summer.
Picnics, ballgames, and a three-day weekend will be cause for celebration in this community and all across the United States.
But the day was never intended to be solely about pleasing ourselves. Rather, Memorial Day was set aside for Americans to remember those who have died protecting our freedoms.
Five local churches will be collaborating this summer to make sure no one in Spencer County goes hungry. Every Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p.m., members of those churches will be serving a meal for free to anyone who comes.
The first meal is scheduled for May 31.
The ministry, called "Summer Supper Together," will be held at Taylorsville Community Church, 404 Garrard St. It will run through Aug. 9.
The meal will be followed by a short devotional and a time of prayer for any needs attendees may have.
Motorists who refuse to wear seat belts, be warned. Taylorsville Police are joining the 2016 national "Click It or Ticket" seat belt enforcement mobilization that began Monday and runs through June 5 to help save lives by cracking down on those who don't buckle up.
