Bauer was a college pitcher at UCLA but I agree that 2015 would not be rushing Stephenson at all. The Reds have the luxury of not needing him any time soon most likely, so they will make sure he is good and ready before bringing him up. But even so I would expect to see Stephenson in Cincinnati some time in 2015.

Seismic Workshop Summer 2011 Post Reflection Survey
Published on
This three day workshop matched nine high school teachers with 6 earthquake engineering graduate students to design science inquiry lessons based on field seismic experimentation methods.The major objectives for the event was to
1. Raise teachers awareness of NEES, earthquake engineering
2. Apply experimental methods used by earthquake engineers to measure mechanical properties of soil in the field
3. Interpret seismic data using various visualization methods
4. Be confident in their ability to use the experimental techniques and data analysis methods with their students.
The post workshop evaluation was designed to be a short measure of teachers perception of engineering and their perception of their readiness to use the learning materials in their classroom. Open responses questions to gather general information about what they liked/disliked about the workshop and recommendations for change.
A longer version of the survey was initially designed to capture more details about teachers' readiness to use the material in the classroom and their understanding of what is engineering and their intentions to refine their approach to teaching based on their experiences in the workshop.

About half our crew is still staggering around New Hampshire with those maniacs from the GOP, who continue to embarass themselves and their party. That goes double for the frontrunner, our old friend Mittens, who will probably lock up the nomination tomorrow -- much to the delight of progressives, whose job is right now being done for them by Newt Gingrich and his merry band of political suicide bombers. The only question is whether Mitt will shoot himself in the foot before Newt gets a chance to kneecap him.
LIVE FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE: The Phoenix's complete coverage of the 2012 #FITN GOP primary
Take, for instance, the unfortunate way Mr. Romney chose to describe his healthcare plan. The funnest part of this clip is watching the alarm bells start blazing behind his robot eyes when he realizes what he's just said:
Believe it or not, there are still credible political pundits who still take Romney's "I created 100,000 jobs" claim at face value. Even though anyone who's taken a cursory look at the claim points out that the Romney campaign refuses to take into account the number of jobs that were crushed and looted after Bain Capital was done sucking them dry.
Even Romney's associates can't stomach this claim. As the Daily Beast reports, a former Romney advisor has shot a half-hour mini-documentary that lays out, in excrutiating detail, the real story of Romney's tenure at Bain. Quoth the narrator: "A story of greed. Playing the system for a quick buck. A group of corporate raiders, led by Mitt Romney. More ruthless than Wall Street. For tens of thousands of Americans, the suffering began when Mitt Romney came to town."
Must've been a left-wing hatchet job, right? Those people just hate capitali--- wait, what's that you say? It was commissioned by a group with ties to Dick Cheney, and has just been acquired by a Newt Gingrich-supporting super-PAC? Oh man, this oughta be good:
If some of that sounds familiar, it should: Ted Kennedy's people were saying essentially the same things back in 1994. The Kennedy campaign never actually aired the clip below, but you can imagine someone (cough Santorum cough) dusting it off to follow up on Newt's claims. Not only did Romney's company destroy jobs, it also received -- wait for it! -- a $10 million government bailout:
So, to recap: the conservative wing of the Republican party is trying to smear the frontrunning candidate for its presidential nomination by saying the following: Romney says he creates jobs. Yet as the CEO for Bain Capital, Romney made millions from bankrupting companies and laying off workers. Does that sound about right?
Who says bipartisanship is dead?

"Tower Heist" is an ensemble, and a strong one at that, led by Ben Stiller, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck and Tea Leoni. But Brett Ratner's blast of an action comedy truly brings out the best in Eddie Murphy, something many of us may have forgotten even existed.
Fast-talking, flummoxed and full of false bravado, Murphy gives a performance as a low-level thief that recalls his signature work in the movies that made him a superstar in the mid-1980s - like "48 Hours" and "Beverly Hills Cop." When Murphy's on screen in his classic comic mode, it's hard to focus on anyone or anything else. It's as if we've turned back time and erased all those family-friendly duds and lame laughers that required him to climb into yet another fat suit or talk to even more animals.
"Tower Heist" deflates a bit when Murphy's not around, but for the most part, Ratner's movie is slick and crowd-pleasing - even more successfully so than his "Rush Hour" films - and it couldn't be more relevant in exploring the disparity between the haves and have-nots. Following "In Time," this is the second week in a row with a new release that plays like "Robin Hood" for the Occupy Wall Street crowd.
Stiller stars as Josh, the longtime manager of a luxury high-rise in Manhattan; it's actually the Trump International Hotel and Tower at Columbus Circle. When the financial guru who lives in the penthouse is charged with stealing billions from his investors - including the hardworking tower staff - Josh comes up with a plan to steal their money back. Alan Alda plays this Bernard Madoff figure with just the right mix of affability and sleaze.
But Josh's accomplices, a posse consisting of residents and employees played by Broderick, Affleck, Michael Pena and Gabourey Sidibe, aren't exactly up to the task. They've never stolen anything in their lives. The fact that Shaw is under house arrest complicates their plan further.
So Josh enlists Murphy's character, Slide, whom he's known since they were kids, to give them some tips. Slide isn't nearly the criminal mastermind he professes himself to be, but these guys don't know that; in one amusing montage, he sends them out to shoplift random items at the mall just to prove they can rip off something.
One of the genius elements of the script - credited to Ted Griffin ("Ocean's Eleven") and Jeff Nathanson ("Catch Me If You Can") - is that it actually fleshes these characters out, which makes you care about whether they can pull this thing off. And the vivid childhood memories Josh and Slide have of each other is a running joke that adds to the movie's absurdity; Stiller is solid and hits just the right tone as the righteously indignant anchor at the center of this increasing mayhem.
At the same time, Josh strikes up an unlikely flirtation with the tough-as-nails FBI agent on the case, played by Tea Leoni. She grew up in working-class Queens, like Shaw, and she's disgusted by the flashy swindler he's become. Leoni has one great scene in which her character gets drunk with Stiller's and turns a little too forthcoming; it's a great reminder of what a natural comedienne she is, and it makes you want to see more of her.
The heist itself is, of course, completely ridiculous, but that's part of the point - and part of the fun. Ratner keeps things moving so fluidly that you'll probably just roll with it. And his film is lighted and shot so beautifully (the work of two-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer Dante Spinotti) and it feels so substantial in terms of production values, you can't help but be drawn in. These feel like actual people doing actual stunts - especially during the crime itself, which takes place during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade - which sadly seems like a rarity in this age of computer-generated extravaganzas.

The Universal Pictures release is rated PG-13 for language and sexual content. Running time: 104 minutes.

Tom Underhill published his first book 22 years ago and started publishing books full-time two years later. Since 1999, Creative Continuum has specialized in publishing high-quality, short-run books, including family histories, memoirs, and photo and fine art books. During the last several years, Tom and his company produced more than 400 family history heirloom books, printed more than 12.5 million pages and scanned more than 13,500 photographs.
Creative Continuum has published several award-winning books. Among them, The California Missions as Art won a Davey Award in 2007 for design. A History of African-American Families and Slaveholders in Cass County, East Texas was awarded the Best Genealogy in Texas in 2005.
Tom's speaking experience includes most of Southern California's family history fairs and other major genealogical conventions. He has also presented at the Utah Genealogical Association's annual conferences. Tom presented at the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Associations and at the 2005 FGS annual convention in Salt Lake City.
Tom is the author of thirteen books.
- Tom's latest book, iPhonetography, is 150 pages of full-color photographs and "through-the-lens" illustrations that demonstrate staging, composition and lighting. You'll learn how to transform your iPhone into a versatile camera, plus how to quickly and visually set the best exposure—and get the best shot possible.

- Make Your Photos Zing! is Tom's step-by-step guide to mastering Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and make it easy to retouch and improve the photos you've always wanted to fix. Rather than focus on what each tool does, this book employs a project-centric approach to explaining the program.
- Dead Men Tell No Tales is a comprehensive how-to for recording and publishing your family's oral history. This book and CD combination present a series of forms to help organize and itemize the stories and heirloom you have collected for your loved ones.
- Save An Hour A Day On Your Computer helps eliminate the frustrations often encountered with using your computer. Tom shares his twenty plus years experience with Microsoft Windows and straight-forward techniques to help improve user efficiency. Some of the topics include backing up, defragmentation, screen resolution and keystroke commands.
- Make Your Photos Really Zing!, continues where his first Zing! book leaves off and teaches the techniques to restore, retouch and modify color photos. This Zing! book includes compositing techniques as well as a number of detailed photo reconstruction examples to help you improve the quality of your scanned images.
- Taking Picture-Perfect Pictures helps photographers overcome the problems few people think about until they get the print back from the photo lab.
Tom has been quoted in a number of publications including the the Deseret News, Hartford Courant and the Dallas Morning News.

Quick notes before I fall asleep:
1) Matthew Schuele did indeed write a fanfic about a potential connection between FF4 and FF6, via Odin. It's found here. Told you someone could get a good fanfic out of that idea. :)
2) Tonight went pretty well. Saw Kathleen Battle in concert, and was awed by the glory of her voice. Incredible. Simply stunning.
3) I beat FF Tactics today, 'round about 3 o'clock. Strangest thing, though. For reasons I can't even begin to fathom, I doled out 896 points of damage to the last boss with Beowulf's Drain magic sword attack. What's with that? For reference, Drain was normally doing a little less than 100 points a shot. Buh-zarre. Why's Drain so effective against the last boss?
I was wondering, what RPG's will the Dreamcast come out with? Ive heard stories about an RPG that is two years long. I cant really believe that. So whats the story?
-Sephiroth Kyou
Allan: The only confirmed launch title RPG for Dreamcast is NEC's Seventh Cross. Other RPGs in development include Sega's Sonic and Knuckles RPG, Sega's Virtua Fighter RPG, NEC's Sengoku Turb, NEC's Mercurius Pretty, Hudson's Elemental Gimmick Gear, and Climax's Climax Lander, which is apparently a Zelda 64-style direct sequel to Landstalker. I may yet buy a Dreamcast, it seems. Anyhow, I place as much faith in hype about a two year long RPG as I do in the "hours of gameplay" stats for Square games: namely, zip. It's almost certainly hype.
Q: I am writing in regards to the blasphemy you have preached in your latest column. For those who do not recognize me, I am the great Squirrel Lord of Starcraft and Operation CWAL fame! I denounce you as a collaborator of the vile Rabbit King and his overbreeding minions! You shall pay for threatening nature's furry friends with honey that doth mat their fur and someone's body parts all because of your name! My (real) name is misspelled constantly! I never wanted to harm a squirrel, only the violent, malicious rabbits! Kindly redirect your anger or I shall be forced to unleash my sonic barriers of Hanson, the Spice Girls, and Zamphir!
Squirrel Lord
a.k.a. Gunslinger (GDI)
Allan: Once upon a time, my life made sense. Not anymore.
Q: Morning to Mr. Milligan,
Hey, my man! I sent letters to all of the rest of the temporary and non-temporary columnists here, and I have to say that you're just plain better. I'm not sucking up, per se, but I really appreciate your facetiousness. I'm quite the facetious guy myself, so I can understand and acknowledge yours. Anyway, on to the questions (trendy numbers!):
1.) How do you pronounce Ramza's last name? Beoulve. Beoulve! I would assume, in my own humble opinion, that Beoulve is pronounced "Bay-oolve," but then again, I don't know for sure. Got any input?
2.) I hear that the Japanese market is collapsing, which seriously sucks. Will this phenominon have any long-reaching effects on the production of FF8 or Xenogears, or more broadly, SquareSoft in general?
3.) How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck was on Prozac?
4.) Why has the Editorials page not been updated in almost a month? The same complaint goes to the Fanfic section. We want updates!
C.) Not really questions, but a few comments that I've been meaning to say. First off, Canadians rock, and secondly, 7th SaGa truly does suck. And what about the character I'd like to slaughter the most? It would probably be the collective cast of Mystidian wizards from FFIV, with Crono coming in as a close second.
Well, that's about it for now. Whew. Make sure that you post my letter, or else I'll have to sic the man dressed entirely in flannel and with a massive mole on his left cheek on you. Have a nice day!
-"Randar Giramoni"
Allan: Having received a letter from an angry man in flannel with a mole on his left cheek today, I feel compelled to answer here.
1) I pronounce it "bay-oolve" as well, usually followed by "god, FFTactics had stupid names." I'd like to find the guy who named Funeral and pull a squirrel and honey on 'em...
2) It shouldn't have an effect on current projects. If the trend continues, expect Square (and other companies) to produce more "safe" games - sequels, mostly. Games that can be good or bad, but can probably sell on name recognition. You wouldn't be able to tell if Capcom did this (*ba-dum-bum-ching*), and Square seems to be milking its franchises more than it has previously: witness Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon and Chocobo Racing.
3) Woodchucks don't chuck wood. Moot question.
4) Because they're busy? Because everything they're sent sucks? Because of the Y2K problem? I'll get an Official Statement for tomorrow.
Q: Hey Allan,
Well, I was just wondering what more can we expect from Lunar SSS that wasn't in the original sega cd incarnation, and if so, will the voice talent be the same? I think everyone can get behind voting the guy who did the voice for Quark, the most grizzled human being ever to walk the earth.
Allan: Most of the voice cast will remain the same, except for Alex, whose original voice actor's voice cracked since making the first game. In terms of differences, SSS will be longer, include some improvements made in Lunar:EB (like the movement in combat stuff), more animation, more voices, better graphics, and more music. In short, it'll rock in every way. Especially Nash. And Quark.
The SaGa Frontier letters. If you prefer short Q&A stuff, skip on down. Otherwise, pull on your lead-lined suit and dive in...
Good day Allan (spelled it right!.... I think....),
You know what, I agree with that guy! Saga Frontier is damn good! I bought Saga Frontier last May or whenever it came out, and I played it with a few characters. My files got erased thanks to a piece-o-crap memory card (one of those multi-page ones) and I was like: "forget this game". I didn't really like it then anyway.
Two weeks or so ago, I took out good old Saga Frontier, and I decided to give it a try. By then I had heard about basically every secret there was to know, and with my new knowledge, the game was insanely fun! Whoeevr puts down the graphics can put down FF7's graphics as well cause they are basically the same, minus the battle scenes of course, which aren't THAT bad. At least the spells/special abilities are pretty. The music I never payed much attention to (rather listen to a cd of some sort), and there is plot! It's not like it's straight-from-a novel-quality stuff, but it's there. The exploration, which is next to absent in most RPGs is certainly there. I can swear I've heard people complain about a lack of exploration in recent RPGs. Well, if you put in the explortation, you have to sacrifice story to a point, and Saga Frontier is what you get! People can be such hypocrits...
I personally know more people that liek Saga Frontier than hate it... Actually, I know no one who hates it, except for this one idiot who beat it with all the characters, then decided he doesn't like it. Apparently, he has problems, and, therefore, he doesn't count.
Farewell from Florida! -Naveed
Dear esteemed RPGuru,
SaGa Frontier was beyond an excellent game. I think that Square really outdid themselves with it. Sure, it wasn't a Final Fantasy game, but I for one wasn't expecting a Final Fantasy. I think (of what I've played so far, I'm still working on it) that the character development is done very well, and I personally like the multiple character choices because of the fact that each character has a different plot. I'm still playing so I've yet to determine if everything comes together with all the characters into one final confrontation at the end, but as it is, it's almost like playing 7 separate games that loosely fall together. I enjoy the non-linearity. It makes the game much more of a challenge (first game that I've ever been slaughtered in the first 5 minutes of playing by a side boss with ungodly abilities. Imagine running into Ruby Weapon in the first Mako reactor in FF7, that's what I'm talking about). I think that the game has a balanced system of magic, weapons, and armour, even though at times it is hard to raise sufficient funds to buy a lot of it. I don't see why so many people dislike SF. It was a good game. It wasn't meant to be a Final Fantasy, yet people almost seemed to expect it to be. If you want a game that is linear and has a small cast of characters, then yeah, SF isn't for you. But all the rpgers that I've talked to like non-linearity and a huge cast, and that's what SF has (what other game can you have 15 people in your party?). Anyway, I think I've gone beyond the point of meaningful defense and into the realm of babbling now.
The lack of emphasis on the characters and on interesting plots is what irritated me about the game. I actually kinda liked the graphics, except for that ugly font used to display damage... uck. It is true that you can join up with characters from other stories, but its like they just join up because of magnetic attraction (or whatever force it is that attracts customers in stores to "Caution: Wet Floor" signs, especially when you're trying to clean the mess up). Half the time, they give no reason as to why they are joining up.
I expected more plot out of the game, but it turned out to be more like an adventure game with a RPG-style battle system. I regret having purchased the game... should've rented it first.
Shawn Bruckner
Okay, so I turn on my computer, log on the net, and check out RPGamer to see what's new. Imagine my surprise when I see "Square announces SaGa Frontier 2". What a load of crap. I mean, what are they thinking? Of all the games they could have made into a sequal, what do they pick? Take a look at their homepage and you'll see that one of the ten most frequently asked questions is whether or not they'll make Chrono Trigger 2, which would be a lot better. SaGa was a good game, but it bored me out of my mind, and I didn't even get through the first quest I started, I couldn't take it anymore. Plus, SaGa just came out last year, while we've been waiting for CT 2 since it was released 3 years ago. I haven't heard anyone say, "Oh man, I can't wait for SaGa Frontier 2, that's gonna be awesome!", but I've heard many give their thoughts on a second Chrono Trigger. So why isn't Square listening? As far as I know, about two people really give a rat'a ass about SaGa anyway, so why not give us what we really want? It doesn't even have to be Chrono Trigger, a PSX Mana would be one of the best things that could ever happen. I'd rather see "Secret of Evermore 2" than SaGa Frontier 2, what do you think?
-General Leo
So you want to do the Saga Frontier thing? OK. Let's see, I wanted this game bad, but I was short on cash. For once I didn't ask for an allowance advance. And I got the game as a gift for Easter this year. Happy Ending? Nope. I haven't even gotten the ending, as it is the only game in the hitory of my life that I have willingly stopped playing. I even beat Wall Street Kid on the NES. If that's not hardcore enough, I don't know what is. And I still can't bring myself to play Saga. I LOVED the Gameboy versions (FFL series), but I think the rendered backgrounds and 2-d sptires are what made the game suck. If it was totally 2-d old school, then rock on. Or if it were all 3-d ala FF7, then righty-o to you. But even though I DID find the story interesting, The rendered graphics turned me off. Maybe because I could never be sure of where I could go. The game needed a guide like FF7 did when you hit select.

Well I've been playing the little dog (or monster the one with the green hair) and I'm stuck in the Mooseriburg (or whatever) and I guess what I'm really asking is that I want a spoiler so I can finally complete at least one chapter in this less than appetizing RPG from Square, which is why I'm probably not going to buy Parasite Eve. As far as Saga is concerned, the battles are very interesting, but I think the difficulty level jumps a little bit too much. It takes quite a bit of leveling up (to the point your kicking butt in one place and barely surviving the next.) in order to get through the simple levels. Also, a big pain in my booty was that there's no world map, Man that was such a drag. On the world map, it's just you and the elements. If you're getting tired of the plot of the game, you can just go out there and rough it, and then come back ready for the plot you've been putting off. I missed this alot, in FFT as well, but that's at least got random areas. (different concept too, but...) Saga would have probably turned out to be alot better if the stories had more complex and involving, don't get me wrong, I really dig the idea that you have to get all the rings to save the world (monster story), or you have to obtain all the secret magics in the world (guy w/blue hair story). But I'd really rather devote alot of my time to one set of characters to "Save the World" or "Destroy the Ultimate Evil". All of this topped with an extreme difficulty level, just makes the game more work than anything else. I would say the last and maybe most distracting thing about the game is 2D on Pre-Rendered. It just doesn't work, even in Beyond the Beyond there were problems, but when the characters are superdeformed they just plain look like Boogers on a pretty backdrop. Saga's sprites were even worse because, they tried so hard to make so many different types, that they got limited to 4 basic sprite shots (some characters have more) and they were pretty much limited on colors as well. If you have poor sight like me the Characters really look like little boogers through the entire game. I really hope square doesn't make a bomb like this again.
Piano Man - Should I buy Parasite Eve??
Allan: My thoughts on SaGa Frontier will be the opening rant for tomorrow's column. I'd rant about it now, but in my lightly dazed state, it'd probably just make things worse.
Quick 'n Dirty Tidbits: Sir Boris asks if Earthbound 64 will retain its nonlinear elements despite not being on 64DD anymore (probably - the switch to cart will probably affect game length/breadth, and customization will probably suffer, but nonlinear is plot-related, and will thus probably remain intact), Jon asks for dating advice (no), Artwiz asks if anyone else liked the FFLegend games for Gameboy (yup, though the limited number of punches in FFL1 was really, really lame), people wonder where today's quote was from (Pokémon), Gilgamesh points out that "guru" is the Sumerian word for "strong man" (the Sumerians invented the term in my honour, during a time-travel jaunt I took a few years back...), and Jeff suggests making a Shaft RPG. Which would rock.
- Allan Milligan, too tired to think

I just had a look at the MSDN articles on CStatusBar, and to my surprise, I found it so easy to use.
First of all, a status bar contains several 'panes'. Each pane is a rectangular area of the status bar that you can use to display information. As you know, many applications display the status of the CAPS, NUM LOCK, and other keys in the rightmost panes. These panes, by default, have a 3-D border around them. The leftmost pane (pane 0), sometimes called the 'message pane', has the BPS_NOBORDERS style, and therefore doesn't have any border surrounding it. This pane is usually used to display a string explaining the currently selected menu item or toolbar button. Furthermore, by default, the 'message pane' is 'elastic': it takes up the area of the status-bar not used by the other indicator panes, so that the other panes are always right-aligned.
To add a customized pane to display your own message on the status bar, it only takes the following 6 steps. For this example, we are going to display the current time at the rightmost location of the status bar. It will be updated every 60 seconds.
First of all, add a new entry to your string table with an ID of ID_INDICATOR_TIME and a caption of '%5s ". The extra spaces are to give you a little more room in the pane so the text will not be clipped.
'%5s "
Second, append ID_INDICATOR_TIME to the indicators[] array in the MainFrm.cpp file as the last entry (so that it will appear as the rightmost item on status bar).
Third, in the message map in <code<MainFrm.h, add the following:-

afx_msg void OnUpdateTimeIndicator(CcmdUI *pCmdUI);

Fourth, in MainFrm.cpp, add the macro call:-
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI ( ID_INDICATOR_TIME,OnUpdateTimeIndicator)
Fifth, in MainFrm.cpp, create the function body:-
void CMainFrame::OnUpdateTimeIndicator(CCmdUI *pCmdUI) { CString strStatus; strStatus.Format(ID_INDICATOR_TIME, time); m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneText( m_wndStatusBar.CommandToIndex(ID_INDICATOR_TIME), strStatus ); }
Last of all, update the variable time every 60 seconds:
#define TIME_STATUSBAR 1 class CMainFrame : public CFrameWnd { …… private: char time[7]; ….. } void CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) { …… SetTimer(TIME_STATUSBAR, 60000, NULL); Memset(time, '\0', 7); …… } void CMainFrame::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent) { // TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default if ( nIDEvent == TIME_STATUSBAR ) { char tempchar[20]; _strtime(tempchar); // get current time strncpy(time, tempchar, 5); // extract only hour and minute info } CFrameWnd::OnTimer(nIDEvent); }
The secret here is, whenever variable time changes, the display changes during the next idle loop. This is done automatically by MFC. Isn't it nice?

Lightning Fighter 2 Review

Overall Rating:
What's not to like about the hard as nails genre of shoot 'em ups? Navigating virtual minefields of hellfire madness can be so much fun, especially when the player is aided by the use of iOS' on-screen touch controls. But there comes a time when titles begin to tread the line between low-priced perfection and under-priced gougers. Lightning Fighter 2 is hoping to hold a steady course, without deviating into in-app purchase purgatory. Can it manage to steer clear of the pitfall of its peers, or will it fall victim to the same traps?
When it comes to games that can stretch an iDevice's processor to its limit without rendering three dimensional video, SHMUPS are some of the biggest offenders. Numerous enemy vehicles all traveling alternate paths while spitting out artillery at a breakneck pace have been known to stress a device or two. When it comes to projectiles on screen, Lightning Fighter 2 ranks among the most hectic out there. Yet in a unique twist, the majority of the weaponry is actually being unleashed on the player's end. Frankly, the powers available are borderline unfair for adversaries.
Following the traditional progression of a stage full of lackeys, which comes to a head in a climactic boss battle, Lightning Fighter 2 is about as formulaic as they come. Set to a soundtrack of futuristic metal, this sprawling galactic conflict is almost as much about the grind as it is about the action. As enemies are dispatched, they erupt into flames, showering coins down onto the player below. This currency must be gathered in order to purchase new ships and power-ups later on in the campaign.
The base title provides quite a bit of challenge and variety for the meager price of less than a dollar. This is compensated for by rather obtrusively providing countless opportunities to spend real world cash in order to extend a life, much like in a real life arcade. As ridiculous as it may seem, there are bound to be those that will indulge the developers, especially when the game is set on some of the higher difficulty levels. One other observation of note is that the usual bullet-hell associated with the genre seems a bit more forgiving than other releases. Especially in the case of boss battles, it seems far easier to avoid the one-shot insta-kills that would normally drive the masses crazy.
While it certainly isn't blazing any new trails, Lightning Fighter 2 is a perfectly competent shoot 'em up that is more approachable than most of its peers. A ninety nine cent investment for a game with this level of visual polish is more than justified, as long as players have the will power to avoid shelling out for an easy pay-to-win victory.

Review: BlackBerry Q10 for Verizon Wireless
The Q10's screen measures 3.1 inches across the diagonal and has 720 by 720 pixels. It's the exact same width as the display on the Z10. This was a conscious design choice made by BlackBerry for app continuity across the different form factors. The Q10's screen is an OLED panel that I thought looked good. It is bright and and colors look deep and rich. Viewing angles are excellent, and there's no color shift or brightness loss when you tilt the Q10 back and forth. Outdoor viewability is OK, but could be better.
SignalThe Q10 performed very well on Verizon's network. It never lost the signal, no matter where I took it. It survived the NJ vault test (my local supermarket), where signal strength is notoriously poor. The Q10 connected calls on the first dial, and didn't miss or drop any calls while I was reviewing it. Thanks to the pervasive presence of Verizon's LTE 4G, the Q10 never dropped down to EVDO 3G during my time testing it, either. That means the Q10 offered speedy data performance, as it was able to put LTE to good use when browsing the web or downloading new apps. Bottom line, the Q10 delivers on the network goods.
SoundThe Verizon Q10 beats the snot out of the AT&T Q10 when it comes to voice calls. The quality of calls was far superior. Voices coming through the earpiece were clear as a bell, and there was never any kind of interference, such as static or echoes. Voices sounded present and had a warm characteristic that I found pleasing. Those with whom I spoke said I sounded very good. In addition to the excellent quality, the earpiece produces plenty of volume. I was easily able to hear calls next to a screeching espresso machine in a noisy Starbucks. The speakerphone offers the same clear voice quality, though the volume isn't quite as impressive (it's best to set it down on a desk or table). Ringers and alerts were loud enough to get my attention from several rooms away, and the vibrate alert was very strong. The Verizon version is markedly better than the AT&T version in this category.
AD article continues below...
The Q10 didn't give me any trouble when it came to battery life and its performance matched that of the AT&T variant. I was able to get a full day of use out of the device with plenty of power to spare, despite heavy use. It often had about 30% showing on the battery gauge when I called it a day. Charging the Q10 once per day should be sufficient for most people.

BCMF renews mineirao stadium in brazil for 2014 world cup
photo © CEMIG
located in belo horizonte – one of twelve brazilian cities hosting matches during the 2014 world cup – the estadio 'mineirao' has been completely refurbished prior to staging six matches during the tournament. after brazil was chosen to host the prestigious event, developers minas arena consortium commissioned BCMF arquitetos to renovate the stadium, transforming the existing structure into a multifunctional sports complex. alongside athletic use, the project offers a range of services including retail outlets and cultural and entertainment facilities.

acknowledging the historical importance of the site, the architectural interventions are both radical and respectful. only the outer shell of the arena has been retained including the 88 structural semi-porticos, the roof concrete and the upper tiers. the rest of the design was completely rebuilt, including the lowering of the pitch, the new extension of the roof, all new program and infrastructure, and the redesign of the lower tiers with improved sight-lines for a total capacity of 58,259 spectators.

surrounding the structure, a 200,000 square meter public platform includes various facilities sculpted and molded to the site as an artificial topography. this plaza is used for outdoor concerts, parties and fairs forming an activated extension of the street. the redesign also integrates environmental practices with solar panels positioned across the roof and facilities that capture and store up to 6,270,000 liters of reusable rainwater.

Stonybrook colonial offers 'storybook' appeal
Published 4:11 pm, Wednesday, November 7, 2012
Those who have a chance to view or perhaps live in the Nantucket-style Colonial house at 34 Stonybrook Road in Westport may think the street was misnamed. After walking through the 14 rooms with all their amenities and attractive architectural and design features, it would be easy to suggest that the street should really be called Storybook.
The next owners of this house will probably feel like they got their "happily ever after." With 10,025 square feet of living space, this house could be called a modern-day castle, yet its size should not intimidate. The rooms, while grand, are warm and inviting.
The sage gray-colored house was built in 2002 in the Old Hill section of Westport. It sits on a 1.09-acre property in the Kings Highway North Historic District.
An adjoining 1.42-acre property is also available and suitable for a tennis court, pool and guest house, all of which would add to the rural sophistication of this estate.
A recurring theme of circles and ovals is evident throughout the house, beginning at the circular driveway with its circlet of plantings lined in Belgian block.
The front entrance welcomes guests with its large mahogany wrap-around porch and French antique glass window pane, transom and sidelights at the front door. The glass features a series of circles and ovals.
Inside, there are four floors of living space. The dramatic two-story foyer has a gracefully curved staircase. The formal living room has a marble fireplace and two doors to the porch.
The grass-like wall covering shimmers with intertwined silver threads aptly titled Abracadazzle. The formal dining room has a wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter and an ornate white wood mantle.
In the gourmet kitchen, the many features include Travertine flooring, a large center island topped in wood, Carrera marble counters and a farm sink.
Appliances include a Viking Professional range with two ovens, plus two more wall-mounted ovens, a built-in espresso machine and Viking refrigerator hidden behind paneling that matches the cabinetry.
The butler's pantry sits between the main kitchen, dining room and spacious eat-in or breakfast room, and it has a stainless sink, marble counter, built-in wine rack, cabinets and a beverage/wine refrigerator.
The "sunken" family room is large and has a coffered ceiling, stone fireplace and the two steps down to this room are flanked by white columns. French doors lead to the cobblestone patio and backyard.
There is an informal half bath on the first floor, accessed in the mudroom, and a powder room with a cherry wood floor that matches the vanity.
All the bathrooms have radiant heat floors and most of the seven full baths have steam showers.
On the second floor, the master bedroom has its own balcony, unpolished limestone fireplace with an elaborate surround, woven fabric wall covering, a sitting room and his and hers walk-in closets and baths. His has a dark-colored marble counter and hers has a morning "kitchen" with a sink and beverage refrigerator.
The lower level contains a gym with a mirrored wall and a wine cellar, which is not completed.
The wine cellar is pre-wired for an eSommelier Wine Management System, which allows the homeowner to inventory and display the cellar contents from an iPad, PC/Mac or touch-panel as well as monitor the temperature and humidity level.
White holiday lights stay in place year round and were professionally strung on five large trees and miscellaneous shrubs.
The current owners converted the well water to city water, which is unusual in Old Hill.
For more information or to set up an appointment to see the house call Joan Wright at 203-247-5868 or Jeri Kelley at 203-856-0527, both of William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty, or email them at firstname.lastname@example.com.

ADDRESS: 34 Stonybrook Road, Westport

Sometimes, it's just not your night.
For the Owen County High School Runnin' Rebels, that night was Dec. 18.
The team traveled to Eminence last week and looked to build off the positive momentum they picked up in their win at Henry County.
The Rebels would play well. They shot 52 percent from the field and 75 percent from the free-throw line. On most nights, those numbers would be good enough to come home with a win.
For all the Rebels' efforts, the Warriors played just a little better.

THE FACTS: The Memphis Grizzlies may have discovered their new closer. First, point guard Mike Conley delivered a game-tying 3-pointer with 30.7 seconds remaining in Monday night's game against San Antonio. Then, after a miss by Tony Parker, Conley drove in for the game-winning layup with 0.6 seconds left to give the Grizzlies a 92-90 win at FedExForum. It was the second game-winning shot of his career. Conley led the Grizzlies with 23 points, while Parker paced San Antonio, who was without Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard, with 25.
QUOTABLE: "We actually had run the play similar to that a few plays before and I was open again. I told JB (Jerryd Bayless) if you get a chance, if you don't have a good look driving, I'm going to be out at the top of the key waiting on you. He found me and delivered the ball perfect. It was just routine, try to concentrate and knock it down."
-- Grizzlies guard Conley on his game-tying 3-pointer.
THE STAT: Conley, the NBA's leader in steals with 164, entered tonight's game having at least one steal in a team-record 64 consecutive games, which also is the longest such streak in the NBA. That streak finally ended against the Spurs.
TURNING POINT: Every time the Grizzlies made a run in the second half, the Spurs had an answer. That was until the final two minutes. Memphis pulled to within 86-84, but Parker answered, hitting a jumper with 2:15 to play. But that wound up being the Spurs last field goal as they only managed a pair of Parker free throws the rest of the way. Parker missed what would have been a go-ahead shot with seven seconds left, then failed to get off a final shot when the Spurs inbounded the ball with 0.6 seconds left.
HOT: Conley has become a consistent threat offensively in the last month. In March, he averaged 17.6 points and 7.2 assists, scoring at least 20 points during a three-game stretch. Against the Spurs, Conley was 11 of 17 from the floor, scoring 11 of his 25 in the fourth quarter, including seven in the final 2:37.
NOT: San Antonio forward Boris Diaw failed to deliver a Tim Duncan-like performance. Diaw replaced Duncan, who was out with a sore left knee, in the starting lineup, but had just seven points on 3 of 12 shooting, and only three rebounds.
QUOTABLE II: "I thought our guys played hard and competed well. We moved the ball and shared the ball. I thought offensively we made a couple of mistakes at the very end of the game and Conley made a great shot. A lot of times in the NBA that is what does it, decisions down the stretch in the last couple of minutes."
-- San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich.
NOTABLE: While Conley finished the Grizzlies' fourth quarter rally, it was guard Jerryd Bayless who ignited it. Bayless scored 10 of the Grizzlies first 14 points in the fourth quarter, with his last jumper cutting the Spurs lead to 80-76. Bayless finished with 17 points off the bench. ... The Spurs couldn't buy a basket to start the game. They missed their first eight shots and fell behind 10-1 before Diaw finally connected on a jumper. But by the end of the quarter, they had tied the game at 21 and led up until Conley's game-winner... The Grizzlies tied their franchise-record for wins in a season with 50, which they also reached during the 2003-04 season. ... The Spurs have now lost back-to-back games for just the third time this season, and first since Dec. 17-18. They have not lost three in a row all season. Next up is a home game against Orlando on Wednesday.
UP NEXT: For the Spurs, Wednesday vs. Orlando, Thursday @ Oklahoma City, Saturday vs. Atlanta. For the Grizzlies, Wednesday @ Portland, Friday @ L.A. Lakers, Sunday @ Sacramento.

text: Pelosi Says New Tax Is 'On The Table' By Michael O'Brien October 06, 2009 "The Hill" -- A new value added tax (VAT) is "on the table" to help the U.S. address is fiscal liabilities, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday night. Pelosi, appearing on PBS's "The Charlie Rose Show" asserted that "it's fair to look at" the VAT as part of an overhaul of the nation's tax code. "I would say put everything on the table and subject it to the scrutiny that it deserves," Pelosi told Rose when asked if the value-added tax has any appeal to her. The VAT levies a tax on manufacturers at each stages of production on the amount of value an additional producer adds to a product. Pelosi argued that the VAT would level the playing field between U.S. and foreign manufacturers, the latter of which do not have pension and healthcare costs included in the price of their goods because their government provide those services, financed by similar taxes. "They get a tax off of that and they use that money to pay the health care for their own workers," Pelosi said, using the example of auto manufacturers. "So their cars coming into our country don't have a health care component cost." "Somewhere along the way, a value-added tax plays into this. Of course, we want to take down the health care cost, that's one part of it," the speaker added. "But in the scheme of things, I think it's fair look at a value- added tax as well." Pelosi said that any new taxes would come after the Congress finishes the healthcare debate currently consuming most lawmakers' times, and that it may come as part of a larger overhaul to the tax code. The speaker also emphasized that any reworking of the tax code would not result in an increase in taxes on middle-class Americans. |

About MeAs a filmmaker (Producer/Director/Editor/Writer), I cast myself in my own productions as needed, but am looking for opportunities to be in other peoples' projects aside from my own.So now, with encouragement from friends & professional peers, I'm branching out into modeling, with interests in pretty much everything with the exception to nude or erotic. Will work for TFP with the right photographer(s), so feel free to contact me if you're interested. NOTES ON MY APPEARANCE: I'm an actor, so I'll get you any expression/pose you want. Also, I can adjust my size fairly quickly, so if you need me trimmed or bulked up a bit, just give me a couple of weeks preparation. TATTOO: I have one large & unique tattoo that covers my left shoulder, going down onto my upper back, chest, and arm. It's of Hebrew writing (the meaning of my 3 kids' names), tied together in a tribal design. It's aggressive, and though I've rec'd plenty of compliments on it, if you don't desire it in the shot, it's easy to conceal as well (the simplest of T-shirts/Polos will cover, or angle of the body/shot). I'm also on here to network with other Models (ideally those with acting talent/aspirations), Photographers, MUA's, Hairstylists, etc. for film work.

Get it together, board tells OCFA
After a series of high-profile missteps at the county's largest fire agency, the Board of Supervisors this week excoriated the leadership of the Orange County Fire Authority.
From a hazardous materials inspection debacle last year to recent allegations of favoritism, the fire authority's internal oversight has come under scrutiny. Those controversies have unfolded publicly as OCFA quietly fights to keep some of its biggest contracts. The city of Irvine and John Wayne Airport, which together account for about $80.9 million in annual revenue, have threatened to leave the system.
"When you look at some of the things happening, that I get to read in the newspaper, you wonder, 'Where's the oversight?' " Supervisor John Moorlach said at Tuesday's board meeting. "I don't know if it's arrogance or (the attitude of), 'We can get away with everything,' or it's complacency. … I would just encourage OCFA to build some better controls."
Moorlach, long an advocate for privatization, supports outsourcing emergency services at the county-run airport.
Other supervisors admonished the fire authority at the past two board meetings. An email revealed by Supervisor Todd Spitzer showed OCFA held a special meeting for ambulance contractors in advance of competitive bidding for lucrative agreements.
That caused Chief Keith Richter to apologize at Tuesday's meeting.
"I offer no excuses for this very poorly worded communication, and I accept responsibility on behalf of the OCFA." Richter said.
But he did not apologize for holding the meeting, which gave current contractors an opportunity to shape bidding rules. Instead, he said the email gave a "strong impression of impropriety."
Fire officials previously said the meeting was identical to one for prospective bidders, and did not give current contractors a leg up.
Supervisors had threatened to rescind OCFA's control over the ambulance bidding, but backed away Tuesday after some city officials complained it could disrupt their ambulance service. The authority agreed to notify the county of any bidding complaints and to copy county officials on all bidding correspondence.
"We got the attention of the OCFA board – that they need to remain diligent in their oversight responsibilities," said Spitzer, who listed problems at the agency. "I was reeling from a whole series of events."
Spitzer mentioned OCFA's former hazardous materials inspection program – which charged businesses more than $1.7 million for inspections it never performed – and related claims of whistleblower retaliation. A fire authority internal investigation found the retaliation claims unsubstantiated.
He also mentioned a March fire engine collision that occurred while firefighters were not wearing their seat belts and a captain crashed through the windshield. An investigation found that firefighters had disabled seat belt alarms in nine fire engines.
"It's very troubling what's going on at the OCFA," said Stephen Wontrobski, a Mission Viejo citizen watchdog.
After some of the blunders, the agency's independent auditor examined procedures, said Lori Zeller, the assistant fire chief of business services.
"We don't want to appear arrogant," she told the board.
Supervisor Shawn Nelson said the county should have a plan to wrest some control from OCFA.
"Either get it together and behave yourself," Nelson said Tuesday, "or we'll get it together for you."

Entering Daily Journal
I hope this is the correct forum for this question. Is there a simple way to transfer one days total food entry list into a subsequent day instead of re-entering them all from scratch? Thanks. |
on your foods page for the current day, click on "view my recent foods". it breaks down previous days into a checklist. just check all the boxes you want and then click "add checked" at the top of the page. it will carry over those foods, with the same serving sizes, ounces, etc. to your new day.
no i don't think so. i don't have premium and it works for me.
nichaleh, if you're not seeing this, lmk what version of FitDay you're using, classic or 2.0.

Buehrle aims for 200-inning mark but could be shut down if White Sox slide out of contention
By Mark Gonzales
SEATTLE -Mark Buehrle needs to pitch only two innings Friday night against Kansas City to become the only active pitcher to win 10 games, make 30 starts and pitch 200 innings in nine consecutive seasons.
But manager Ozzie Guillen intimated Thursday that if the White Sox fall quickly out of contention for the American League Central title, Buehrle may be shut down for the rest of the season.
The Sox already have considered the same move with Gavin Floyd, who will be skipped from Monday night's start against Minnesota because of a sore left hip. Floyd could be replaced by D.J. Carrasco.
"If this thing is shut down, I say Buehrle," Guillen said Thursday. "We'll give (Jake) Peavy Buehrle's start and give Peavy Gavin's start. Give him all of those starts."
Seriously, Guillen doesn't want to increase Buehrle's workload if the Sox are eliminated. The Sox have lightened Buehrle's workload between starts more this season than in any other season because of the innings he's logged.
"I think Buehrle because he has a lot of innings piled up," Guillen said. "But I have to continue to have a season and make those guys go out there and earn the money for that reason. For pride, to finish better."
"It has been getting worse," Floyd said. "That's why they took me out, because obviously it hasn't been getting better. That's why they think maybe a start off will help things out."

Our Collection
A North-South Monologue
Top of page
In this film on foreign aid and investment in a developing country, a filmmaker and a journalist from Canada travel to Haiti, where they seek out rich and poor to find out where foreign dollars go. They attend a press conference given by President-for-life Duvalier; they interview managers of foreign companies; they speak to workers. Walking the streets of Port-au-Prince and the drought-stricken countryside, they are confronted by both extreme luxury and abject poverty. They discover that a North-South dialogue does not exist, and that the profit motive lurks behind the myth of foreign aid.

TITLE: Remote-Plasma-Assisted Deposition of Pentacene Layer Using Atomic-Hydrogen
AUTHORS: Satoshi Yamauchi, Takatoshi Minakuchi, Miyuki Onodera
KEYWORDS: Remote-Plasma-Assisted Deposition; Pentacene; Hydrogen Plasma; Atomic Hydrogen
JOURNAL NAME: Journal of Crystallization Process and Technology, Vol.4 No.1, January 2, 2014
ABSTRACT: Pentacene thin layers were deposited on Si with the native oxide at 80°C by remote-plasma-assisted deposition (RPAD) using hydrogen-plasma cell to supply atomic hydrogen radicals. The deposition rate was increased by RPAD comparing to that by non-excited hydrogen gas supply whereas thermal evaporation rate of pentacene from crucible was same in the both process. DFM and XRD studies showed the grain laterally grew in the thin film phase with the size above 10 μm by RPAD. First-principles molecular orbital calculations suggested pentacene is evaporated from crucible as the trimer or larger cluster but atomic hydrogen penetrated into the cluster enhances cracking of pentacene clusters to the monomer.
