RATINGS: All Manchester United players marked out of 10 after Leicester demolition
Jose Mourinho's side put four goals past Leicester City in the opening 45 minutes at Old Trafford this afternoon as a Wayne Rooney-less United outfit flourished against the champions.
Mourinho left Rooney out of the United starting line-up and got the performance he was looking for with a first-half destruction of Premier League champions Leicester.
Chris Smalling opened the floodgates with a 22nd-minute header and United then scored three goals in five minutes at the end of the half - a fine volley from Juan Mata followed by two more from corners from Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba.
Leicester improved after the break and 20-year-old substitute Demarai Gray scored a stunning consolation but the damage was done and the 4-1 defeat was a chastening experience for Claudio Ranieri's men.
Paul Pogba - The midfielder has been underwhelming since the world record move that brought him back to Old Trafford from Juventus. But with this performance he showed why United shelled out so much money.
A dynamic presence in midfield, his apparently effortless passing created a succession of chances and his fine headed goal capped off a stellar afternoon.
If Mourinho was looking for teamwork, then he found it in United's second goal. Juan Mata played the ball back to Pogba and continued his run along the edge of the area before picking up a delightful back flick from Jesse Lingard and sending a volley arrowing into the far corner.
Mourinho dropped Wayne Rooney to the bench after criticism of the England captain's recent performances but any raised eyebrows at his team selection were quickly lowered.
United were untouchable in the first half after Chris Smalling gave them the lead in the 22nd minute. Leicester arrived at Old Trafford last season looking to wrap up the title but that seems a long time ago now. T
he defensive solidity that was a hallmark of their success has evaporated and is an issue Claudio Ranieri needs to address urgently.
Manchester United
David De Gea: Could do nothing about Demarai Gray's wonder goal and produced a good save when the youngster tried a repeat. 6/10
Antonio Valencia: Caught out early on by Marc Albrighton. Not as effective going forward as Daley Blind on the other side but willing as ever. 6
Eric Bailly: United's defence had a relatively quiet afternoon. 6
Chris Smalling: His headed goal opened the floodgates. 6
Daley Blind: The source of so much United pressure down the left and his corners directly led to three goals. 8
Ander Herrera: The attention was elsewhere but a solid performance in front of the back four. 6
Paul Pogba: The performance United fans have been waiting for from their world-record signing. His passing was sublime and his header was not bad either. 9
Jesse Lingard: Busy and willing and produced a fine flick for Mata's goal. 7
Juan Mata: Playing in his preferred number 10 role, Mata shone, scoring a superb goal and setting up the third for Marcus Rashford. 8
Zlatan Ibrahimovic: A goal was all that was missing, with the Swede a constant thorn in Leicester's side. 8
Marcus Rashford: Showed an unusual lack of composure when he was played in by Ibrahimovic but was not to be denied and turned in a training-ground corner routine for United's third. 7
Michael Carrick (for Lingard, 78): Always a reassuring presence in midfield. 5
Wayne Rooney (for Rashford, 83): Left out of the starting line-up but given a brief run-out. 5
Ashley Young (for Mata, 87): No time to make an impact. 5
Ron-Robert Zieler: Let down badly by his defence for the three goals United scored from corners. 5
Danny Simpson: United were rampant down their left in the first half, with Simpson struggling to deal with the twin threats of Blind and Rashford. 4
Wes Morgan: Leicester's defensive solidity was the cornerstone of last year's title success and they badly need to get it back. 5
Robert Huth: Normally such a dominant presence, Huth was beaten in the air for two of the goals. 4
Christian Fuchs: Fared better than Simpson but did not get a hold on the threat of Mata. 5
Daniel Amartey: Lacking in authority and too often left his defence exposed. 4
Danny Drinkwater: One of Leicester's better players on the day but his efforts were in vain. 6
Riyad Mahrez: Struggled to make an impact and taken off at half-time with the Champions League in mind. 5
Marc Albrighton: Had some bright moments in the first half but substituted early in the second. 5
Jamie Vardy: Starved of service and, like Mahrez, sat out the second half. 4
Islam Slimani: Never stopped running but could not offer any threat to De Gea's goal. 5
Andy King (for Vardy, 46): Had one of Leicester's better chances but hit it straight at De Gea. 5
Demarai Gray (for Mahrez 46): The bright spot for the Foxes was Gray's superb goal, and he almost grabbed a second. 6
Jeff Schlupp (for Albrighton, 62): Played his part in an improved second-half display. 5

Man-made features, jumps, pump track, and a skills park in Rogers, AR.
Northwest Arkansas is aiming to be the premier mountain biking spot in the US and so far they are doing a great job. Located in Rogers, AR the Railyard is an incredible man-made bike park.
Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced routes criss-cross the terrain with jumps, berms, and even a rail car to ride through.
Our kids had fun on the small pump track and skills park, and even ventured on some of the other novice trails. My husband and I rode some of the intermediate sections, but even those were a little above my head.
Nearby there's also a few cross-country trails and even a paved trail so there's definitely something for everyone!
The park closes down if its rained recently to maintain the integrity of the trails, but you can check their Facebook page for the status.
We loved they had a bike cleaning station as our bikes got plenty dirty with the fine, red dirt that is everywhere.
For more information check out their website.

Chris Woakes has been added to the England limited-overs squad for the series against Australia. Woakes, the 24-year-old Warwickshire all-rounder, has recently returned from a stint representing Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash, but was left out of the original limited-overs squads and named as captain of the Lions squad to tour Sri Lanka from the end of January.
He played the last of his 13 ODIs in June, with England appearing to conclude that he was a better red ball than white ball cricketer. While he claimed 6 for 45 in just his second ODI in Brisbane on the 2010-11 tour of Australia, his economy rate of 5.66 has not been good enough to keep him in the side and in his last two games, both against New Zealand, he conceded 94 from 13 overs.
A strong fielder and batsman – his first-class batting average is only a fraction below 40 – he has a calm character long admired by the England management and has won another opportunity to prove his value at international level. Woakes made his Test debut against Australia, at The Oval, in August For more news please keep in touch with asportsnews.com

This message was conveyed to Fiji's Ambassador to Israel, H.E Mr Solo Mara at a meeting at the President's House in Jerusalem on Wednesday 11 June.
President Peres also conveyed his country's best wishes for the constitutional reform process currently being undertaken in Fiji after being briefed by Ambassador Mara, who was in Israel to present his letter of credence formalising his appointment as Fiji's Ambassador to Israel. Ambassador Mara highlighted in his brief that Fiji is currently embarking on a new development path focussed on improving the well-being of all the people of Fiji.

In receiving Ambassador Mara, President Peres conveyed that Israel stands ready to assist Fiji in the areas of its development needs and agreed with Ambassador Mara that cooperation between the two countries can be further realised through the cooperation of relevant government agencies in the areas of agriculture, health and renewable energy.Ambassador Mara also met with senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whilst in Jerusalem to discuss areas of cooperation between Fiji and Israel.

I hope some of you were able to catch the Dr. Sanjay Gupta special on "Genius" on CNN last night (and my apologies for not promoting it on this blog before hand). The hour-long show covered quite a lot, dancing over everything from prodigious savants (I was especially fascinated by one young man who was able to recall any date's day of the week, weather, and what he did, after he got hit in the head with a baseball) to the Davidson Academy in Reno. It even featured a quick shot of the cover of Genius Denied.
My general take-away is that the brain is a strange organ that we're only beginning to understand. We have a very hard time separating out how much of intelligence is nature or nurture (as evidenced by the "Center for Germinal Choice" bit on the offspring of the Nobel Prize winners sperm bank). But regardless of what leads to genius, we should nurture it where we find it. Did anyone else see the show? I'd love to hear your opinions.

Hey Laura...
I missed the piece by Dr. Gupta -- I had every intention of watching it, but I got on the Internet and I forgot about all it. :)
The bit I saw Sunday morning, though, a short piece on Matt Savage, interested me, but it gave me the impression that the focus of the story was on savants and their brains, not necessarily gifteds in general. Too bad I didn't tune in - sounds like it would have been a good view.
The report was very interesting. I was fascinated by how little we understand about the human mind and the unbelievable capacity it has. I was saddened by how little the U.S. spends to educate our gifted children. Maybe by shedding some light on that fact things can change.
I saw it amd liked it. It was nice to see the Davidsons in action and know where they came from (both literally & metaphorically). But it was more entertainment than education - as a 1 hour program or the brain might just have to be. The savants were the most entertaining, and the autistic pianist was fascinating. The picture of the more intellegent person's brain lighting up less (needing to work less hard) on a similiar problem was the opposite of what I expected - but made sense!

A need to create.
This little shop is a place where I go to satisfy the creative right side of my brain. I have always been compelled to "create". I think it all started with my wonderful Grandmother, Maria, who taught a bored 5 year old to hand sew a little pincushion. I can still remember the tiny pink and blue flower print and the immense feeling of pleasure of being able to tangibly "make something" .
I also have collected "old things" over the years; never knowing why. I just liked them and was always intrigued by beautiful workmanship and color. I have piles of vintage and antique buttons, bits and pieces of vintage jewelry, paper ephemera and books ... anything that has caught my eye. I also love collecting anything that mother nature has produced and thrown on the ground for mortals to take.
Pottery has been a wonderful place to turn to when we need a spiritual connection. Hands on clay can soothe a restless soul.
Two of my daughters are equally happy to create and when they have the time in their busy lives they like to come here and contribute.
Etsy has been a place to explore a need to create and to share with others.

7 months ago on Junce 25.. My 7 year old sister and I found my daddy dead in his bed. He was only 40. Hin and my mom split up about 3 months ago. I've always been daddy's little girl... He's the one I looked up too when my mom wasn't there.. He's the one I went to father daughter dances with. He the one who taught me to ride a two wheeler and he was there when I scraped my knee and to support me on my soccer team. He was funny. He always laughed at a good joke. Our dog was the thing he lIves the most. He would do everything with tori. it was no fun without you on Christmas daddy.. No one was there to help me get the ribbon of my presents.. Rip

- Superman in the opening chapter, giving us a fine quote for the Genre Blind.
"Bruce, it's still just an arm. And according to you, a pretty normal arm. Why are you stressing out about..." (Beat) "Why do you want me to stress out about it?"
- Kiba has the misfortune of first encountering the Question, who believes him to be involved with the Illuminati. The Question promptly knocks him out and decides to interrogate him as soon as possible.
The Question: What is NASA doing with those shoelaces? And why are the Girl Scouts suddenly adding 'new organic ingredients' to their cookies?
- And speaking of interrogation...
- Batman's analysis of Sakura, Neji, Lee, and Chouji, where he takes in their abnormalities. While he correctly pins Neji's eyes as significant, he also makes note of Rock Lee's eyebrows, wondering if they signify that he's on steroids.
- Sai thinking everything is a genjutsu killed this troper.
- Batman helps the titans out of their predicament. Beast Boy gushes.
"Duuuude! ...is that... I mean, you're not... the REAL Batman?"The Real Batman frowned at the strange green boy crouched against the opposite wall.
- "The thing that really annoyed Sasuke about the Sharingan was that, on the off chance that you faced an incredibly skilled opponent, you could SEE yourself about to get hit and you wouldn't be able to do a single thing about it. Oh, sure, you could maybe roll with the punch a little, harden your muscles or whatever... but the point stood—the Sharingan allowed you to see yourself get humiliated in slow-motion."
Batman: *punches Sasuke*
- Sasuke sets Batman's glove on fire with the unquenchable black flames of Amaterasu. Batman throws the glove at Sasuke's face.
- Drunk Sakura's conversation with Batman. Full of irony and awesomeness. Plus, Sakura is a very funny drunk.
- "Bats, you're paranoid," replied Flash, shooting the crimefighter a smirk. "You never think ANYONE is dead." A shrug. "They never are."
- Superman continued, "I suppose an 'I'm sorry' doesn't quite cover my beating you to an inch of your life, but if you " "It's okay." Naruto interrupted, hoping to get past the issue already. "You'd be surprised how often that sort of thing happens."
- After Naruto thwarts a bank robbery with all the precision of Hancock.
- Superman looked around, at the long trench in the pavement, the burst fire hydrant at the end of it, the decapitated car (leaking oil), the bent lamp post, the crook with the concussion, the OTHER one with several cracked ribs and some internal bleeding, and the terrified people standing around watching it all. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. "Naruto." He said. "Let's talk about control."
- Naruto, giddy with being able to fly briefly, creates a bunch of Shadow Clones. He realizes that he can fly, while they cannot. They immediately drop to the ground and dissipate.
- Early on in the story, when the League is discussing the "dimensional invaders,"
Batman: No, no. I mean, isn't that Question's city? Why didn't you call him in on it?Hawkgirl: He must be off on one of his conspiracy trails. Wouldn't want us 'tracing' him, I suppose. I hate to think of what he's doing right now.Kiba: Dude, you're some kind of crazy!The Question: Tell me what you know!
- Practically everything Gai does in this story is hilarious, but his best moment would have to be his Dynamic Entry into a giant battle at the Metro Tower. Green Arrow and Mr. Terrific can do little more than stare in shock. Then when he leaves them, they hear this exchange:
Gai: Ah-ha! And who are you, my youthful friend?The Creeper: They call me the yellow-skinned wacky man! But I prefer the Creeper.Gai: You are well met, friend Creeper!
"Your duplicity is so unbounded, mortal, that I cannot discern whether you seek to manipulate me into removing my avatar, or, by reverse psychology, into removing my pawns."

War has changed. So has the Metal Gear Solid franchise with its fourth installment. Thankfully, it's all for the better, culminating in one of the best games ever.
Metal Gear Solid 4 has been the most highly anticipated game for the Playstation 3 since before the console was even announced. All over the internet and magazines, plenty of gamers and MGS nerds wondering when we will see the next installment in the famed franchise. Luckily, in June 2008, it is finally here. Even better, what is here is perfection.
The graphical presentation of MGS4 is top notch. Never before have I spent nearly the whole game with my jaw gaping, virtually drooling at every cutscene and gameplay sequence. The character models are beautifully detailed. Snake's age is a hot topic in the game, and the graphical poweress shows off every jeriatric detail of him. All cutscenes are done in real time, which makes it all the more amazing. There were moments in the game when I had to do a double take and make sure that I was watching a game, and not a real movie.
Control issues have been a touchy subject when it comes to the MGS series. Luckily, there isn't anything to worry about when it comes to MGS4. The configuration has been streamlined to be more along the lines of a good third person shooter, even taking a few tips from that 'other' stealth game. You're only a button press away from an over-the-shoulder view and just one more for a first person view. Any of these views can be used at any point in time and really gives Snake the edge when it is needed most. There are plenty of moments in MGS4 that need very precise and concise gunplay and this new control scheme delivers on all fronts. Sixaxis motion control is rarely used, but what is there, works well. Also, if you are a lucky owner of the Dualshock 3, it is utilized very well, and is a staple all its own in the immersion factor.
Without spoiling anything, the story is very well done and shows off the masterpiece that Hideo Kojima has created. Snake's brother, Liquid has harnessed the power to ultimately control the world and it's up to Snake to stop him. Several characters from past MGS games are here to help or kill Snake, and it's up to you to help Snake along the way. Snake is showing his age and it is displayed prominently throughout the game. He's also a chain smoker, smoking nearly every couple of minutes in a cutscene. MGS4 is presumably the last game in the series, and it is all handled very well. Every loose end is tied up, nothing left unsaid. During my playthrough, even a few tears were shed, and that is something no one would have expected to hear about a video game, I assure you.
MGS4 will only take about 18-20 hours to complete on the normal difficulty, but can probably be defeated within 5-10 hours when skipping all cutscenes and codec sequences. The question as to why you would do that is beyond me, but for those speed runners, and for those who can't understand the story, the option is there. The cutscenes can be rather lengthy, but they are acted and directed so well that skipping just one would be a crime. This is a game that is just as important to watch as to play.
Metal Gear Online heads MGS4's plethora of extras. A full online mode taking the gameplay from the single player game online pitting you against 16 of your most dear friends is at your disposal. Yep, you can even kill your opponents with a Playboy magazine from across the country. It is slightly unfortunate that there are only a few maps to choose from, but there will be more downloadable later as this is only billed as the 'Starter Pack' for Metal Gear Online. A few of the other extras include downloadable camoflauge and ipod songs. They are all nice touches to an already perfect game.
Metal Gear Solid 4 is easily the greatest entry in the MGS series, sporting a refined control scheme, excellent story and superb extras that will keep you coming back for more. It deserves nothing less then a perfect score. It's okay not to believe the hype, but believe me when I say it is well deserved and worth buying a Playstation 3 over. Buy this game.

THE MUPPETS (2011)Posted in MOVIES TO LOOK FORWARD TO: Coming Soon or Now Playing In A Theater Near You... on November 30th, 2011 by Jim Delaney
Thursday November 10, 2011 at the Regal Fenway Stadium, Boston, MA.
Directed by James Bobin, written by Jason Segel & Nicholas Stoller, starring Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper, and The Muppets.
I love the Muppets. When I was in preschool I was too preoccupied with SPEED RACER and JOHNNY QUEST to notice SESAME STREET. I was aware of SESAME STREET, but I didn't watch it. My first real connection to Jim Henson's characters came when I entered the first grade, and they entered prime time. Eventually I grew to appreciate the Disneyesque optimism of SESAME STREET, but I always preferred the Looney Tunes rambunctiousness of THE MUPPET SHOW. Because I love the Muppets, I hold them to a higher standard than entertainment for which I have less of an affinity; happily their first feature film in twelve years is worthy of that standard.
The script for the new film apparently had an extensive development period. It helps to have writers who are true believers in the world Jim Henson created a generation or two ago. It helps even more that one of those writers is an established television star who also has a string of mostly very successful films to his credit. Jason Segel's puppeteer character in FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, which he also wrote, hinted at his affinity for The Muppets. If someone loved the work of Robert E. Howard and John Buscema as much as Segel clearly loves Henson's work, this summer's revival of CONAN THE BARBARIAN would have been an amazing movie.
The core story of THE MUPPETS is shrewdly cobbled together from several archetypes of both cinematic style and classic story telling. Segel's character Gary has a brother named Walter who is straight out of BILLY ELLIOT or RUDY. Walter so loves the Muppets that the greatest possible joy he could imagine is the chance that he might one day meet them. What separates Walter from Billy Elliot and Rudy Ruettiger, and indeed from Gary, is that Walter actually is a Muppet! This is part of what makes Muppet films unique: even as they embrace archetypes, like the underdog runt searching for his place in the world, they turn them on their head and subvert them to the Muppets' own rules. In this story a human man and a Muppet can be brothers — and no one notices this as odd!
A staple element of ensemble buddy movies ranging from Frank Sinatra's Danny Ocean up to, well, George Clooney's Danny Ocean is the reunion of old friends for a new purpose. It worked in THE WILD BUNCH, it worked when Jake & Elwood Blues got the band back together, and it works for Kermit. In fact, it works doubly so for Kermit. Kermit's quest to round up his stray friends propels this basic story of the Muppets' rallying to save their old theater from their 70's variety show days. The reunion angle simultaneously allows for the introduction of the Muppets to audiences too young to recall their last theatrical entry while addressing themes of aging and imposed obsolescence that resonate with anyone old enough to have watched the original primetime airings of THE MUPPET SHOW. Reminiscent of how Kal-El must have felt upon reading Lois Lane's editorial on a world without Superman in SUPERMAN RETURNS, this film finds Kermit realizing that television has knocked the Muppets to the rock bottom of the hip-n-trendy scale. Kermit's reunion with Miss Piggy culminates in a stroll through Paris, poignantly acknowledging that Muppets have to work as hard as humans to make love and friendship last, in a scene that would seem very much at home in a Woody Allen film. Each of these moments manage both the easy fix of keeping the pace moving, and the difficult trick of perfectly nailing the tone for each scene to keep audiences of all ages engaged.
All of this classic film structure aside, it's wonderful to see the Muppets have not lost their touch for lunacy. They were expert practitioners of metafiction before that term was applied to film or television. Probably the best example of this is the song "Man or Muppet," sung by Gary and Walter. As the man and Muppet brothers explore their existential void in the song, they cross into each others crisis, and transcend the film in a sequence reminiscent of some of the more groundbreaking 80's music videos. Segel's over the top Meatloaf-esque operatic wailing both parodies heart-on-your-sleeve pop songs and gives this oddball tune a ring of truth. I saw this movie in a screening geared toward college students. The general mumbling and rampant texting around me during this scene left the impression that this audience was more laughing at this moment than with it. This was a sequence worthy of The Marx Bros or Mel Brooks, but unless you are schooled in Groucho and Mongo, the absurd hilarity and sincere subtext of this song will not fully resonate.
Rumors on the internets about a "surprise cameo" were apparently referring to a moment in "Man or Muppet," though the entire movie is laden with cameos, from Mickey Rooney to Rico Rodriguez. I'm glad that these cameos were not strictly reserved for celebrities, but also for lesser known characters from the Muppet universe. Personally I was a big fan of MUPPETS TONIGHT, the mid 90's attempt to revitalize the Muppets on primetime TV. One of the characters from that revival, the dimwitted and overly confident lounge singer Johnny Fiama, appears during this song as Jason Segel's Muppet doppleganger. The only thing that could have made Johnny's appearance better would be if they found room for his angry monkey bodyguard Sal Minella; here's hoping there's room for Sal & Johnny in the next Muppet movie!
I'm a fan of divisive movies; I'll always prefer a movie that folks either love or hate, even if I'm among those who hate it, to a movie that we are all equally ambivalent about. If you follow the IMDb message boards, you'll see that THE MUPPETS has no shortage of detractors who bemoan nearly every Muppet effort since the passing of Jim Henson. I'm also a die hard STAR TREK fan; just as I acknowledge that the primary mission of the most recent STAR TREK film was to acquire a new generation of fans, such is the case with this film. My audience full of college kids texting each other were mostly born after Jim Henson died. If you grew up wit THE MUPPET SHOW on TV like I did, you've already had your fair share of Muppet films. These are the classic Muppets for a new generation, and they accomplish that job with characteristic style and surprising grace. THE MUPPETS will not change your life or make you a better person, but it just might open your kids' minds the way SESAME STREET and THE MUPPET SHOW did yours.

Here for a business meeting. This is a fantastic self-contained property, great for a business meeting. The ease of access via Orlando International is a big plus.
While I sampled banquet food only during my visit, it was thoughtfully prepared and well presented. Mid $160's rate was fair given the amenities of the property.
Would have been nice to have lobby / near lobby computer access (instead of the hike to FedEx Kinkos on property) but otherwise the property is well thought out.

BEIJING (AP) American gymnast Chellsie Memmel hurt her right ankle while training on the floor exercise Sunday but is still expected to compete in Olympic team competition next weekend.
Eds: UPDATES with details, Memmel quote. AP Photo XDMV103, CBU108
USA Gymnastics president Steve Penny said in a statement that Memmel's status was being monitored daily. The U.S. women compete in team qualifying next Sunday.
"We're taking things a day at a time but I was able to do good bars today. ..." Memmel said in a statement.
Their three alternates, Ivana Hong, Jana Bieger and Corrie Lothrop, are training in Tokyo, available to make the 3 1-2-hour flight to Beijing if needed.
Memmel is the 2005 world champion but has fought through a series of injuries during her career. A broken foot caused her to miss the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
More recently, she has struggled with shoulder and foot injuries but came back in time for the Olympic qualifying period and impressed Karolyi, the team coordinator, to easily make the team.
Memmel is no longer the headliner — Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin are the front line of this squad — but having a former world champion as the third-best gymnast is one reason the Americans, the defending world champions, are widely considered the favorites to win this year.
Last week, the U.S. men's team lost defending Olympic all-around gold medalist Paul Hamm to a shoulder injury.

I've missed blogging and I've been thinking about ways to get back into it. I finally decided on doing a weekly top 10 list covering whatever I feel like ranking. On weeks when I have the time, I will likely write a good amount and on weeks when I don't, there is the flexibility to keep things brief. I've been listening to a lot of videogame music recently and I decided for my inaugural top ten, I would share my favorite tracks from downloadable only (indie, if you will) titles.
10. Donuts Song – Splosion Man
I love that this song sounds like it was made by a bunch of guys sitting around a campfire. I also love donuts…and ukuleles! It is like this song was made specifically for me. Go nuts for donuts indeed.
9. Palace Minuet – The Unfinished Swan
It may not seem like Palace Minuet fits in a game that focuses on learning to cope with loss, but the best games and soundtracks take you on an emotional roller coaster. They set up the lows to make the highs more impactful and vice versa. The atmosphere of Monroe's journey was pretty heavy up to the point when Palace Minuet plays, and when I first heard in game, I felt like a weight had been lifted. It may not be the best track, but in the context of my playthrough, it was the perfect track at the perfect time.
8. To the Moon – To the Moon
As is the case with many, I am partial to songs that I have an emotional reaction to and To the Moon's main theme certainly brings a tear to my eye. This is partially because the track itself is wonderful and partially because I will always associate it with the big reveal in the game, which is one of the most heart breaking I have experienced.
7. Flip a Switch – Quantum Conundrum
Call this a guilty pleasure song if you will, but to this day I love the Presidents of the United States of America and their simple, yet humorous approach to pop rock and Flip a Switch is written and performed by their lead singer, Chris Ballew. Nothing here is complicated, yet it is incredibly catchy and the lyrics make me smile. What more could I possibly ask?
6. Space Debris (SpaceSynth Remix) – Rochard
This throwback track bursting with synthesizers and drum machines takes me back to my childhood, sitting in front of the TV and waiting for Miami Vice's theme song to signal that one of my favorite shows was about to start. Like the one hit wonders of the 80's, Space Debris is incredibly catchy and once it gets stuck in your head, it is nigh impossible to get out.
5. Searock Castle – Trine 2
The haunting vocals instantly remind me of Dragon Age: Origins' theme song, and the instrumentals really place the piece in the Medieval Ages in my mind (though to be fair, my idea of period appropriate music for the dark ages has been shaped by pop culture and renaissance faires). Regardless of historical accuracy, Searock Castle is beautiful and sets the mood perfectly for what appears on screen.
4. Clockwise Operetta – Machinarium
It isn't often that I hear a track in a game that has me put down the controller and turn up the volume, but Clockwise Operetta is just such a song. I was floored by its originality and creative meshing of sounds. It is even better in context, as it matches perfectly with Machinarium's theme and gorgeous, hand drawn visuals.
3. Gone Home (Journey's End) – Dust: An Elysian Tail
The best melodies are often the simplest and Gone Home is proof. While I haven't been able to find any sheet music for it as of yet, it doesn't seem to be too hard to pick up by ear for those better at that sort of thing than I. Even though I enjoyed Dust quite a bit and was invested in its narrative and characters, this ending credits song is by far the most emotional part of the game for me.
2. Downstream – Braid
While Braid's music is indeed licensed, I had no problem including a track that likely none of us had heard prior to playing the game. I've loved music with a Celtic flair for as long as I can remember, and the beautiful string work in Downstream makes it one of my favorites. The tempo change at 4:35 is a powerful close to one of my favorite video game tracks.
1. Terminal March – Bastion
I love Bastion's entire soundtrack and could have easily included Build that Wall and Spike in a Rail in this list if I didn't self-impose a limit of one track per game. When it came time to decide which track to include, I had to go with the controlled chaos of Terminal March. A classical sitar has no business being in the same song as heavy industrial sounds, but it works beautifully and there is no question that when this song plays, things are about to get ugly.
I hope you enjoyed the inaugural blog in this series. Thanks for reading, and more importantly, thanks for listening.

Bedspread was dirty.
This hotel exceeded our expectations. We arrived late in the evening, and the room was comfortable and quiet and clean. The breakfast had some hot items as well as the usual continental fare. The room and bathroom were both spacious. The orange juice at breakfast was nasty-tasting, but there was also the option of apple juice, which tasted fine.
staff very friendly and accommodating. quite. bed was slightly soft for me. I prefer a firmer mattress, but overall good rest.
It was just off the Interstate, easy to find. It was off to itself, creating a safer feeling environment. Staff was friendly and did their job, cleanliness was A-1. Their amenities were good,and they had everything I needed. Nothing I can think of worth mentioning.
The clean, heated indoor pool was great-I think it's saltwater, which I prefer over chlorine. Mini fridge & microwave in room. Good shower & water pressure. Free WiFi Internet was fast. Parking is free & the area had bright lighting & felt safe & secure. I read the hotel has an indoor pool/hot tub. There's no hot tub. Pool is nice, but no towels are in the pool area. We had to bring the only 2 towels provided in room & ask for more. There should be more than 2 towels per room & towels in the pool room.
Quiet, and close to where I needed to be the next day. Breakfast was ok, could improve somewhat. I like that it started at 5 am though
The room was relatively clean, although some details were overlooked- the showerhead was gross with rust & buildup. There was some sort of powder behind the bed-kept hoping it wasn't for bugs. The staff was very nice & helpful- the best part of the stay. Rooms really need updating, could smell smoke everywhere even though it says nonsmoking, the walls are paper thin and I could hear everything next door, the breakfast was gross and not quality food items, the price was too high.
front desk service no
The staff was very helpful with everything i needed
found out after i got there the reservation had only been made for 2 adults when it should have been for 5 cost me another $60 because of the mistake.
location room very small,there was only about a foot of walking room between bed an tv stand. it was thanksgiving eve the hotel was almost empty and they still put on the second floor. beware of room 201.
As soon as i got here i was gracefully greeted by the manager and front desk staff the motel was very clean and the land scapeing was amazing i will always come back thanks againe
The staff were fantastic. Great value for money, breakfast included hot waffles! They are the only hotel here with a heated indoor pool. I recommend it to everyone!!'
I had a great time during my stay at Pine Bluff Super 8. I look forward to staying there in the future.
Pleasant staff. Breakfast was standard continental. Room was nice and clean.
Beds are extremely uncomfortable with threadbare sheets. Staff (manager?) is extremely rude. Foul odor in hallways and breakfast area. Pool out of service. Not a positive stay at all!

| The following Red Sun article, Canis Venatoris is under construction.
Please do not edit or alter this article in any way while this template is active. All unauthorized edits may be reverted on the admin's discretion. Propose any changes to the talk page.
Canis venatoris is the Scientific name of the Pack Hunter that roams the Jungles of Greenland. They are a terrifying creature, the height of a man, and the length of a car. They hunt in packs. The common name is Wargs, after the similar beasts written in fiction by many authors.
They evolved from the 'normal' pack hunters on Greenland roughly 50 million years ago, and within 10,000 years, had hunted the normal wolves to extinction. They are a semi-intelligent species, able to build rudementary tools with their mouths. They lived on the world for several thousand years, growing larger and faster, as the prey they hunt evolvled with them. A few centuries ago, when the first humans landed on the world, the packs began to hunt them. At first it was not noticable, as the missing people were written off as lost in the Jungle, as the Humans could not believe anything Maleviolent could live on Greenland. When an entire colony was destroyed, and the half eaten corpes are discovered, the colonists become aware that something out there is preying upon them.
The Great Hunts
The Humans then organised hunts, parties of men going into the Jungle and looking for the mysterios animals. After a few weeks, and countless human dead, a Canis was shot dead. Still terrified, the humans sent out flights of Helicopters to gun them down from the skies. It was not until a Warg leapt from the forest, and brought a helicopter down, that the humans realised this would not be a simple task. With the ending of the Helicopter Patrols, the period of 'Great Hunts' was brought to an end.

The Remington 1866 Derringer is a small pocket pistol manufactured by Remington Arms. The term "derringer" is a genericized misspelling of the last name of Henry Deringer, a famous 19th-century maker of small pocket pistols.
In the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), Nick Nack (Herve Villechaize) uses a .41 (rimfire) Remington Arms - U.M.C. over-and-under derringer (c.1910-1935). The weapon has a nickel-plated finish for its barrels and frame, blued hammer and spur trigger, and ivory grips.
- Production: 1866-1935
- Type: Pistol
- Caliber: .41 R.F.
- Capacity: 2
- Fire Modes: Single Shot
In The Man with the Golden Gun, during the Thai boxing match scene, Nick Nack holds his Derringer on Bond, causing Bond to quip about the originality of "a gun in a bag of peanuts". In the 1965 novel The Man with the Golden Gun, Francisco Scaramanga also uses a gold plated derringer as his back up gun during the novel's climax, which also housed one bullet as with the film's custom golden gun.

Herbs to Lead a Natural Life
Ayurvedic Herbs
According to Ayurveda, herbs and diet are an essential part of the construction of the mind and body balanced. In holistic and traditional Ayurveda, the Rishi or Yogi were the first to write about plants and their treatment through direct observation and relationship with the qualities of nature. And then, years of experience have shown the importance and value of using herbs as medicinal substances to balance the psychological, physical and spiritual body.

Can taking flexeril cause erectile problems
That's an interesting question. You would think it might - it is after all a muscle relaxant - not exactly something you'd want to have happen during sex but there is little evidence that it does. Reduced libido is a symptom that occurred rarely enough in Flexeril studies (<1%) that investigators couldn't determine whether Flexeril caused it or not. Oddly enough one study suggested it could cause either increased or decreased libido.
This is a grey area; if Flexeril does cause erectile problems it would happen very rarely. I suggest you talk to your doctor about this and see what he/she says.

Product Details
Gemron capsule is an important nutritional enhancer for pregnant females. The major components are Carbonyl iron, folic acid, Zinc and Vitamin B1. Usually, during the tenure of pregnancy females suffer from low haemoglobin levels and certain other nutritional deficits.
Carbonyl Iron is the form of iron supplement which is considered to have a higher bioavailability as compared to other iron salts as it is absorbed slowly with the release of gastric acid, hence a lower rate of its mobilization confers to its low toxicity profile. Zinc, on the other is important for growing infant immune system and helps in its proper development. Folic acid present in the tablet is important in contributing towards increasing the Haemoglobin levels of the females. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) has a major role to play in carbohydrate metabolism as it is major coenzyme (thiamine pyrophosphate) involved breakdown of complex carbohydrates. Insufficient levels of thiamine lead to Beri Beri named deficiency in infants fed by deficient mothers.
Uses of Gemron capsule:-
Iron deficiency anemia,
Iron deficiency due to chronic blood loss or low intake of iron
Iron deficiency anaemia and nutritional anaemia that occurs especially during pregnancy and lactation.
Use under medical supervision

Green roofs have become increasingly popular over the past several years due to their ability to provide a wide range of sustainability, energy and ecological benefits while often enhancing the aesthetic qualities and architectural creativity of buildings.
Green roof technology replaces traditional rooftops with an assembly consisting of: 1) a waterproofing membrane; 2) an engineered soil support system that includes insulation and elements for critical moisture retention and drainage within the shallow soil profile; 3) a filter fabric to keep soil particles out of the drainage system; and 4) an engineered growing medium and selected plantings. By replicating natural processes, the garden roof becomes a highly self-sustaining ecosystem that can greatly extend the life of the roof's waterproofing membrane, provide insulation that lowers cooling/ heating costs, mitigate storm water runoff, and reduce the "urban heat island effect."
If the heart of a green roof is its drainage/ water retention elements, as many green roof experts often emphasize, then the soul of a green roof is its growing medium. As much as any design consideration, proper soil selection is critical to the long-term success of a garden roof.
Plantings Selection
The growing medium must be designed in concert with all other major design elements of a green roof project. In some cases, for example, the load-bearing capacity of the roof will dictate the design weight and depth of the planting medium and, in turn, the plantings selection. In other cases, where load bearing capacity is less critical, the plantings chosen will be the primary factor in determining the necessary planting medium. Local climate conditions are always a major consideration when deciding what plants to select. Plant materials selected for a garden roof should be based on both adaptability and performance.
For an extensive green roof system,that typically does not include an irrigation system, the plantings must be drought tolerant, able to withstand heat, cold and high winds, as well as possess numerous other distinct qualities based on design intent. Low maintenance landscapes often use sedums, small perennials, and other succulents. For LEED® credits, plants indigenous to the area should be selected.
An extensive green roof system, with shallow soils, no permanent irrigation and subject to the extremes of the rooftop microclimate, can limit the selection of plants. However, there are typically enough varieties available that allow for more to be accomplished than simply a monoculture of sedums. By increasing the diversity of plantings selection, the green roof, besides being more beautiful and interesting, is less susceptible to diseases, pests and climatic variance.
In addition to sedums (ideal for 2- inch to 4-inch soils), a combination that includes grasses, alpines, some small natives, as well as other hardy succulents such as sempervivums are often used in extensive green roof systems. All of these plant types typically grow well in 4-inch to 6-inch soils. They are drought-tolerant plants, requiring little or no irrigation after establishment, with a growing pattern that allows them to spread and cover the roof surface.
Soil Characteristics
Although every necessary detail and consideration regarding the selection of soils for garden roofs would probably require a textbook, or two, the following outlines many of the essentials for an extensive green roof application.
The planting medium must provide a stable structure for the anchorage of the plants' root systems while remaining as lightweight as possible to prevent excess loading of the roof structure. The planting medium must also be water permeable, retain water, resist rot, provide nutrients, and possess many chemical, physical, and biological characteristics necessary for supporting and sustaining vegetation.
Soil specifications for a green roof are determined by a number of factors, including allowable depth and weight, climate and whether the roof will be irrigated. To keep costs down and ensure success it should specify the use of locally available materials and be suited to the specific plants that are to be grown. As no standards currently exist in the United States, specification criteria for the planting medium should comply with performance specifications that meet or exceed German FLL Standards: Research Association of Landscape Development and Construction; Guidelines for Planning, Performance, and Maintenance of Vegetated Rooftops. The criteria for growing media specifications for extensive green roofs include:
• Grain Size Distribution
• Density
• Water & Air Management
• pH, Lime & Salt Content
• Organics
• Nutrients
• CEC Capacity
Natural soil should not generally be used on a green roof system due to its weight, the scarcity of high quality soil material, and the tendency for it to compact when removed and transported to a roof. However, as a component of an engineered soil good quality sandy loam can be added in proportions of 10-20 percent of a green roof media. Green roof planting medium should be a precise blend of organic and mineral particles of varying size and composition. This blend must not only be lightweight, but must also possess the seemingly contradictory ability to retain water and yet easily allow excess water to drainwell. Generally, the organic and inorganic particles that make up the green roof planting medium should occupy at least 50 percent of the soil composition, with the remainder being pore space, which serves as channels to facilitate air and water movement.
That's why grain size distribution and density are probably the most important specification criteria. Grain size distribution information provides estimates of a soil's engineering properties such as permeability, water holding capacity strength and stability. Soil density, another important criterion for green roof soils, is the mass or weight of soil per volume of area. High soil density can usually means reduced water infiltration rates, poor drainage, increase runoff and limited plant growth.
All soil systems are composed of four major components: solid particles, microbes and other small plants and animals, water (with various dissolved chemicals), and air. Infiltration of water, nutrients, and air into the soil and subsequent movement to plant roots is critical in a green roof's planting medium selection. The soil's water and air management, including saturated water capacity, air content, saturated air content and saturated hydraulic conductivity, help define infiltration and moisture retention characteristics of the planting medium. The soil's capacity to hold water and remain aerated has several critical influences on water management.
Organic Components
The types of plant forms and green roof applications determine the organic content type and percentage in the planting medium. Natural soils typically have between two to five percent organic matter (OM) by mass. Extensive green roof soils typically have between three and six percent OM by mass. The O&M percentage can initially be established slightly higher to aid the young plantings in getting started. Over time, the initial organic matter will be decomposed and replaced in part by organic matter coming off the plants and organic dust settling onto the roof. Eventually the green roof planting medium will likely stabilize at two to three to five percent OM by mass, within the same range as natural soils.
Specifying an organic component with a fairly low carbon- to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio is crucial in green roof soils. Unlike in natural soils, where organic matter has accumulated through continuously decomposing material, the green roof soil's only initial source for organic matter is what's put in the blend. It's important that the organic component used has been decomposed to a state where it can provide nutrients to the plant and not impart toxic compounds that are a byproduct of rapid decomposition.
The organic component contributes to plant growth through its effect on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the growing medium, including a direct and indirect effect on the availability of nutrients for plant growth. In addition to contributing nutrients for plant growth, the organic matter content in green roof planting mediums acts as a "glue" that promotes soil structure and promotes healthy soil biology. Humus, comprised of partially decayed organic compounds in soil, makes the soil more friable and infiltration is increased. Organic matter sources include composted materials such as straw, sawdust, wood, leaves, grass clippings, agricultural wastes, biosolids and animal carcasses, used separately or in combination.
Mineral Components
What most distinguishes the green roof planting medium from natural soil is its primary mineral content, which is often synthetically produced expanded slate, clay or shale. Naturally occurring materials such as pumice, scoria can be used. Secondary types of mineral components commonly used include sand, perlite scoria or pumice fines.
Factors for the mineral component include selecting materials that not only meet the specified grain size distribution, but also satisfy the density issue. Weight is a critical factor. Sand, for example, is relatively inexpensive but its higher weight can be a limiting factor, compared to alternative materials.
Saturated weights for commonly used mineral components range from 75 lbs. per cubic foot to less than 45 lbs. per cubic foot. Often, the weight factor will ultimately require more expensive, less readily available materials.
Soil Chemistry & Nutrients
The soil's chemistry — its reactions and its soluble, mineral, and biochemical transformations — greatly influence green roof longevity and plant performance. Soil pH is one of the most important factors in plant growth. Typically a pH of 6.0 to 7.5 is recommended for garden roof soil. Carbonate content, the amount of calcium carbonate present in the soil, is also an important specification because, like pH, it can effect the plants' uptake of vital nutrients and water.
Plants need at least 16 essential nutrients in order to grow. Besides carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, other elements used by plants in large amounts are the macronutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium. In addition plants need other micronutrient like sulfur, iron, manganese, copper, boron and zinc. Compost used in the media often meets all the nutrient requirements for a green roof, but in future years it may be necessary to augment the media with fertilizers in order to keep the nutrient levels within the proper ranges.
Increasingly, reputable green roof system manufacturers are developing their own soil blends, engineered for extensive and intensive garden roofs in specific climates. Due to the specialization required for green roofs, manufacturers, marketers and specifiers of engineered soil need to fully understand the importance of all factors that will spell success or failure of a green roof media.
Green roofs are becoming more and more prevalent in the United States as their sustainability, energy savings and ecological benefits are becoming better understood. With this growth comes the need for a healthy knowledge of indigenous plants, regional climates and specifically engineered soils. A well designed garden roof with proper waterproofing, drainage/retention, plant selection and a site-specific planting medium, will provide a long lasting, self-sustaining ecosystem requiring minimal annual maintenance — and, of course, a pleasing view.

After seeing the Facebook and Twitter check-ins for months, I had a little free time the other night and decided to try out GetGlue.
For those of you that don't know, GetGlue is a web/mobile social media app that allows you to check-in to a bunch of things- TV shows/movies you are listening to, a book you are reading, music you are listening to, a topic you are thinking about, etc. It is basically foursquare for everything but location.
Like foursquare, there is a slight gaming aspect to GetGlue. Users are able to collect points for performing tasks- check-ins, liking something, etc and some actions earn users a specific sticker (as opposed to a badge).
This is an interesting concept and got me wondering what practical use this app may have for marketers in the future (other than sharing your life with others).
Why couldn't an app like this be used to measure TV viewership/Radio listenership? Aside from an easy way to measure activity, an app like GetGlue could easily be used to collect deeper consumer data without being too intrusive. If widely adopted (GetGlue currently boasts 1 million users), the analytics that an app like this could offer would be very valuable to advertisers and marketers.
Have you tried GetGlue yet? What do you think? Does it have staying power? Could it get big enough to be used for viewership and consumer insights? Chime in!
