The news: Jamie McGinn of the Avalanche was one of 16 NHL players to elect to go to arbitration today. I don't think I need to explain the process of arbitration to my smart readers here.
Basically, if the Avs and McGinn can't agree on a number for his next contract, an NHL-assigned arbitrator will do it for them between the assigned NHL period of July 20-Aug. 4. This article explains the arbitration process.
A team and the player who elected arbitration can settle at any time before the actual hearing. I don't know for sure what will happen, but very often "cases" are settled before they get that far. Arbitration is a sour experience for player and team, and efforts are made to the extreme to avoid those situations.
Plenty of negative arbitration cases have permanently soured player on team, and vice-versa. Former Avs goalie Tommy Salo is one such cautionary tale, with the Islanders in 1997. Salo reportedly was reduced to tears. Basically, an arbitration case means a team tells the player, face-to-face, why it doesn't want to pay him as much as he wants. It brings up all kinds of statistical proof as to why not. You don't think anything but bad feelings can result from this?
So, while I don't know what will happen, my hunch is something will be worked out before the case goes to "trial." There is a chance the Avs could lose McGinn for nothing, but that would be at their own choosing. If a team vehemently disagrees with an arbitrator's ruling, it can "walk away" from the decision, which would make the player an unrestricted free agent. That would be highly, highly unlikely with McGinn.
But how much does McGinn want? Don't have that exact info. either, but McGinn made $680,000 last season, and he scored 20 goals in 78 combined games with San Jose and Colorado. David Jones scored 20 goals for the Avs last season too, and just got a four-year, $16 million contract.
Here is McGinn's problem, though, if he is thinking of wanting anything close to $4 million a year: Jones scored 27 the season before that, while McGinn had 12 goals in 61 games the year before, and all of one goal in 49 games the year before that.
I'm not suggesting McGinn is asking for $4 million year. As a restricted free agent, he almost surely knows he can't expect the same kind of payday as a UFA guy. But he does have a 20-goal season under his belt, and 20 is the new 40 in the NHL today. With goals so hard to get, McGinn has that magical "20" leverage on his side, and I'm sure he's wanting at least a doubling of his last salary. My guess is an arbitrator would give it, too.
As hardcore Avs fans know, however, going to arbitration comes with risks for Avs players. Pierre Lacroix is still the team's president, and he had a well-documented history of releasing of trading players not too long after they took him to arbitration or held out during training camp/season over a contract. Scott Young, Sandis Ozolinsh, Valeri Kamensky, Chris Simon, Chris Drury – those are just some of the names that pop to mind of guys who did that and were soon banished from the organization.
So, McGinn should probably proceed with caution based on this team's history.
What is McGinn worth on a new deal? I'd say about $1.5 million on this next year. It's great that he scored 20 goals, but his overall point total was still only 37. His teams got just under half a point per game from him last year. Not bad, but worth $3-4 million a year at this point? No.
What say you?

Unlimited storage
Clemson University has big plans as it upgrades its data center—and those plans call for lots and lots of storage. Their new IT infrastructure is being built along the lines of the National Science Foundation's Cyberinfrastructure initiative. Clemson expects its new world-class facility to attract a new crop of young faculty who will find the storage, bandwidth and CPU resources needed to support their research efforts.
| Clemson University bets on lots and lots of low-cost storage to enhance its profile and attract top faculty.
This year, U.S. News & World Report ranked Clemson in a four-way tie at 67th in the Top National Universities category for 2008, and tied it with another university at the 27th spot in the less-competitive Top 50 Public National Universities-Doctoral category.
"Clemson is dead serious about becoming a Top 20 school," says James Bottum, Clemson's CIO and vice provost for computing and IT. The usual way a college does this is to woo celebrity professors with big money or to build new student life centers with sleek facilities that dazzle students. Clemson has decided to substantially upgrade its data center by building out a totally new IT infrastructure along the lines of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Cyberinfrastructure initiative. By doing this, it expects to attract a new crop of young faculty by promising to deliver the storage, bandwidth and CPU resources needed to support their world-class research efforts.
"Cyberinfrastructure is the primary backbone that ties together innovation in research, instruction and service to elevate Clemson to the Top 20," says Clemson's provost and VP of academic affairs Doris Helms. She plans to connect Clemson's Cyberinfrastructure to the NSF's national research grid and lure 400 new faculty members to campus by 2010, when Bottum expects to have put in place 5 petabytes (PB) of flexible storage and, ultimately, 100 or more teraflops (TFLOPS, 1 trillion floating point operations per second) of processing. The school has 500TB of storage today and will have more than 1PB next year. "I'm confident we can get this done before all the new faculty are up and running," says Bottum.
To get this done, the school projects it will spend $3.5 million for storage replacement alone over the next five years. It also plans to request approximately $10 million over the next five years to add to its base $25 million IT budget. Finally, it's upgrading the general campus network at a one-time expense of $8 million (see "Clemson's storage components," below).
| Bottum, who was hired away from Purdue University specifically to lead this effort, and CTO Jim Pepin, another recent hire with this goal in mind, are leading an approach that doesn't hesitate to break from conventional IT wisdom. Their storage infrastructure upgrade plan avoids big, costly enterprise storage arrays bundled with sophisticated firmware in favor of low-cost arrays (LCAs) that Clemson will use as building blocks to assemble any kind of storage new faculty members need.
And storage will be the lead component in Clemson's Cyberinfrastructure push. "When I came here, the two biggest weaknesses were lack of storage and the lack of a data warehouse, a single authoritative data source," says Bottum. First up: addressing the storage issue.
Mike Cannon, data storage architect and manager, was brought in by Bottum--for whom Cannon had worked at Purdue University--to lead the storage effort and build out Pepin's storage vision. The LCA, Cannon's core building block, currently consists of a tray of 12 300GB SATA disks with two controllers. Clemson is buying the LCAs initially from Sun Microsystems Inc. (list price is $23,000, although Clemson negotiated a steep discount). Although the initial set of arrays is from Sun, it's just commodity storage. "We could get the LCAs from any vendor, and we are talking to others," says Cannon.
The LCA-based storage condo, however, is a far cry from what Cannon thought he was being hired for. "When we hired Mike [before Pepin arrived] we were thinking virtualization," says Boyd Wilson, executive director, computing systems and operations, and Cannon's immediate supervisor. Previously, Clemson's IT infrastructure resembled a hodgepodge of disparate systems that operated as highly independent silos.
Pepin arrived soon after Cannon and convinced everyone that virtualization was too complicated and costly, not only in terms of money but in performance and bottlenecks. "We were doing this massive upgrade to eliminate bottlenecks. When Jim [Pepin] came, he said we don't need virtualization, we need to get simple," says Wilson. "That's when he started talking about this idea of LCAs. I was petrified. I thought it was too small."
| It was new to Cannon, too, but he was willing to try. It turns out that "when we need storage or more IOPS, we can sum the LCAs to meet the need," he says. That was the beauty of Pepin's storage condo. If a group needed 50TB for a massive research project, they could assemble it. If another group needed 2TB for some IO-intensive database app, they could give them that, too. Each need would be configured, provisioned and managed by the users to their own specs.
The trick turned out to be using low-cost switches in conjunction with LCAs. The switches perform the same job in the network layer that a virtualization engine would otherwise do. "We're not afraid to carve up the storage and rely on the switches to connect it together right," says Cannon. Clemson currently uses four QLogic Corp. SANbox 9200 switches with eight 16-port 4Gb/sec blades, dual CPU, but no dual licensing for fault tolerance. The street price for the switch is approximately $700 per port. Through negotiation and by figuring in additional discounts in the form of grants, Clemson paid somewhat less.
Before he can carve the storage into condos, however, Cannon has to do considerable analysis. "We have to look at the application and see how it reads and writes data before we allocate the storage," he explains. In the end, the team is getting to the same point as it would with virtualization but getting there faster and at a lower cost. But there's one tradeoff: "With virtualization maybe we would get better utilization," says Cannon.
"Condor is a scheduling and computational system that allows researchers to use extra cycles on desktop lab computers to work on scientific and other computational problems," says Clemson's Wilson. The results will eventually be stored in the researcher's storage condo. Clemson currently has more than 1,000 workstations in the Condor pool.
Supporting all of this will be a dual-redundant IT infrastructure (still under construction) consisting of two data centers, each built for full redundancy. Each data center, 15 km apart, contains a dual Fibre Channel (FC) SAN. Using a volume mirror, data is replicated between sites. Data will also be backed up to tape using a 3,000-tape Sun high-end tape library.
| Hosts run the Sun SAM-QFS clustered file system, which lets multiple hosts access the same volume, reading and writing simultaneously. SAM-QFS also sends the data to tapes automatically. Although Clemson's legacy Legato backup system is no longer needed to write server data to tape, it's being used to move data to SAM-QFS.
LCAs and some pieces of the new infrastructure have already been installed and are in production. Other pieces, such as the tape library, have been ordered but haven't arrived. The SAM-QFS component is not yet working "but Jim Pepin has already done it at USC, so we're confident it will work," says Cannon.
The LCAs in the completely redundant FC fabric are attached to the QLogic switches. With two separate dual-FC fabrics, "there is no single point of failure. We have redundancy for everything," says Cannon.
But there are limits to everything and Clemson didn't use redundant switches within each fabric. "We are not building redundant redundancy," says Cannon. "The cost of the dual switch licensing is expensive." Dual switch licenses would cost Clemson $50,000 for each license, and $200,000 for the dual pairs. Instead, the operations team will rely on an alternate path in case of a failure and initiate a manual failover process in the event of a problem. They're betting that the likelihood of such a failure at an inopportune moment would be so rare that they could safely avoid the added expense.
In addition, the storage condo will connect to the back end of a separate high-performance computing cluster that currently provides 11 TFLOPs and expects to reach 30 TFLOPS soon. Bottum plans to push that up to 100 TFLOPS or more. "The plan is to use commodity-based storage and networking to support all of this," says Cannon. Clemson is wooing new faculty with the promise of 140TB of high-performance disk immediately at 10GigE interconnect speeds.
The school has an old EMC Corp. storage system that is at end-of-life and won't be continued. Also going away are the storage silos that characterized Clemson's IT environment in the past. A single open-systems storage team under Cannon is now pulling in all the various silos. "It's exciting. It's more stressed, but more fun," he says, speaking for the team.
| A small mainframe group manages an IBM Corp. System z800 running z/OS. The group runs the university's core student record application but its primary workload is running the state's Medicaid app. The school has allocated 2.4TB of storage to the System z.
"With the student data and the Medicaid application, the mainframe is not going away," says Cannon, although the primary thrust of the Cyberinfrastructure initiative is away from the legacy environment (see "NSF Cyberinfrastructure," below).
New data center
At the same time, Clemson has solved its power issues for some time to come. "We negotiated a deal with Duke Power [now called Duke Energy Corp.] to run our power and cooling and get us out of the power business. Duke can take us to 8Mw [megawatts]," says Bottum. Twenty TFLOPS, for comparison, draws just 130 kilowatts.
| The new data center, situated on a wooded site that's part of a larger advanced research park Clemson is building a few miles from the main campus, was still under construction and only partially operational when Storage visited. The centerpiece of the data center is the new network operations center (NOC). A far cry from the typical crowded NOC buried in a cramped basement and crammed with mismatched monitors and rejects at their final stop before the dump, the new glass-walled Clemson NOC is roomy, sparkling clean and features a row of workstations in front of a full wall of vivid, large-screen flat displays. Colorful graphics show the status of systems and networks, while a continuous CNN video feed demonstrates that the Internet connection is up and running.
Change management revolved primarily around meetings in which Cannon would explain what was happening and how the team would proceed. "We were going to more meetings, but now things were getting done," says one team member. But resistance was expected. "We have some EMC users who need to be sold away from EMC," says Cannon. "They need to learn new skills and need new documentation."
To keep everyone up to date, Cannon created a wiki that contains the provisioning and configuration documentation of all the storage. Every team member goes to the wiki first whenever they have to do something with the storage and whenever they change something. Click on any component and the team member can drill down to more detail. "This lets us logically build the array. We don't even have to be here physically to do the work. We can do this over the network," says Cannon. A separate hardware group handles whatever actual physical work is required.
| Barriers
Bottum exudes confidence in the Clemson Cyberinfrastructure initiative. "I'm sure we can complete it. We have a business plan with a technology strategy. We know what it's going to cost," he says. Speed, however, may prove the biggest challenge. "I worry about the pace. We're making big changes while keeping things going. HPC [high-performance computing] is a challenge, but so is email," says Bottum.
Another worry, but not Bottum's, is the ability to hire 400 top-notch faculty members in a few years. What Bottum does worry about is managing the data the new faculty will generate. "The next challenge is the lifecycle management of data repositories," he says.
The biggest barrier may be unspoken but obvious--the political will at the state level. Clemson is a state university and is therefore subject to the politics that affect any state organization, especially budget politics.
Will storage condos, 100 TFLOPS HPC server farms, thousands of workstations in Condor processing pools, high reliability, seemingly unlimited storage and high-speed connections to the NSF research network be enough to catapult Clemson higher in the U.S. News & World Report college ranking? Provost Helms is counting on it. Bottum and Pepin haven't said so explicitly, but many on the staff expect them to finish their careers on an up note at Clemson. It sounds like a solid plan, but a nationally ranked football team might also play a big role.

View the Video Watchdog Minute: Free trip to the Windy City
- In response to: Hospital CEO's trip not reported
State political regulators are investigating Tri-City Hospital CEO Larry Anderson, whose ethics disclosure forms for 2012 originally omitted a trip he took to Chicago, funded at least in part by a trade publication.
U-T Watchdog revealed the trip in July, at which time Anderson said he had no legal obligation to report the travel on state-mandated disclosure forms that allow the public to monitor for conflicts of interest.
Anderson on Aug. 23 followed up with amended forms nonetheless. On the amended forms, he disclosed the gift from Becker's Hospital Review.
He reported accepting a one-night stay at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Chicago valued at $569, two limousine rides worth $165 and a dinner with no dollar amount listed.
Although Becker's told U-T Watchdog for the July report that the publication paid for Anderson's airfare, Anderson said that was not so. He provided limited documentation indicating that Tri-City funded the trip.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission, which regulates ethics disclosures for public officials, confirmed on Monday that it has opened an investigation into whether Anderson violated state law by not disclosing the gratuity.
Anderson went to Chicago to appear on a panel with 10 other CEOs. The publication included Tri-City on a top 100 hospitals list, and included Anderson himself on a similar list of top hospital leaders.
Anderson, who was recently placed on paid administrative leave by the public health care district's board of directors with no public explanation, could not be reached for comment for this story. Tri-City provides hospital service for Oceanside, Carlsbad and Vista.
Anderson said for the July report about the Chicago trip, "The board was quite delighted at the recognition that this session brought to our community hospital."

Redbirds, Coco and Masters
So camp has finally ended and the season has started! As for myself, I am still in Jupiter so it almost feels like I am still in camp, except all my teammates are out playing ball. I'm continuing to throw off the mound and hoping to be in games soon!
Although I'd rather be playing, one of the positives of being an outsider is watching my buddies and how well they are playing. One of my best buddies, Matt Adams who we all call "Patch" has been tearing it up. I watched the game where he hit another home run off the Brewers. Another game that was a great highlight was when Kyle Lohse faced the Cardinals and Shelby Miller threw a gem. How could you not love this game and watching the Redbirds?
Speaking of the Redbirds, what does everyone think about the new alternative jerseys? I got to wear the new jerseys on the winter warm up this year. We toured a few cities in the Midwest and had the honor of meeting with many of you guys, signed some autographs, and enjoyed a few days with Fernando Salas, Joe Kelly and Jon Jay. If you were there you would have seen me rocking the number 78. For more pics from the warm up, click here.
For all of you that have been keeping up with the blog you know that my girlfriend and I have got a new puppy. Last week I finally went down to Ft. Lauderdale to get her. She is a whopping 1.8 pounds and is a total sweetheart! After a couple of weeks we have finally came up with a name for her, Chloe, Coco for short.
She is our first girl and fits in perfectly with the other two Pomeranians. She may look black in the pictures but she is actually considered blue. She looks more charcoal with a blue tint to her skin.
Lastly, for all of you keeping up with the Masters, what do ya'll think about it??? Golf is a second passion for me, and when I am normally in good health, I play daily. This rehab for my arm has had me down with two of my passions unfortunately (pitching being the first, of course) but it is looking like I am on a good path to recovery.
Back to the Masters, I can say I was a little disappointed with the two-stroke penalty to Tiger Woods. I have watched it a few times on replay and they did get the ruling correct. However, mentally I think it took him out of it, which may have caused the bogey on the 18th. It was definitely a 2-stroke change, and possible a 3-stroke. I had a blast watching the tourney and seeing the competition. The beauty of sports is you never really know what is going to happen no matter how good you are. For example, Bubba Watson, a personal favorite of mine, had a 10 on a hole in the final round!
Well guys, I am going to sign out hopefully soon I can bring you some game information on myself! I cannot wait to be back competing and playing on a team. I am going to continue working as hard as possible to climb the ranks to the big leagues. Thanks everyone who has been reading this on a regular basis. God Bless and remember to follow on twitter @jordanswagerty

I whine with my him! He pauses and tries to figure out my problem. When we're both calm, I proceed to talk to him and encourage him to use language skills as well.
How do you handle a 1 year old that whines constantly?
At only 1 year old, it's hard to know how aware your baby is of her actions. How do you deal with it when your one year old whines all the time?
Teach him/her baby signs. We love baby signs! My one year old knows about five, and does them in his way. When your child whines calmly say "would you like a drink" or whatever they are whining about...just try to be patient and calm. When they whine don't give them what they want till you get a calm response.
Somehow in this child's mind whining has become a way to get something he or she desires. I think when they are that young they still operate on what has worked for them in the past; they don't have enough experience to have lots of ways to respond. I would suggest that if you can cope with it, try to ignore the whine, don't give in. When your child isn't whining, give them lots and lots of positive attention (cuddles, games with you, reading books, dancing). This will hopefully fulfill the need for attention that they are craving without it being connected to the whining. Good luck, it's one of the most difficult noises to deal with.
My daughter just turned 2 and hits those times
once in a while so we either ignore her or we tell
her if she talks and tells us what she wants we will
help her.. But if that doesn't help we send her to her
bedroom to calm down and she come back when she
quits crying. Hope everything works out for you. You
can also ask your Pediatrician about the whining.
A child that is whining is usually looking for attention the wrong way. They either need more 1 on 1 time or just time period. My son is just starting to talk at 2 and he will whine but it is for a reason. Hungry, needs some mommy hugs or daddy hugs or just wants to be held. They are at that transition stage I want to be the baby but I want to explore the world on my own. Over tired or over stimulated can do it as well. So a calming activity like music and looking at pictures helps.
If my daughter would whine, I'd put her in her crib and tell her she's staying there until she stops whining.
Talk to him/her..it could be for attention, and could be because of being bored..could be because something hurts, hot or cold.. you know..
But my daughter is 2 (just turned 2 in June) and at her daycare center there was a little girl who WHINNED ALL DAY!!! She was just a little terrible little something.. and all the kids started to copy her.. including my daughter.. she came home one day and started with this urgent kind of whinning and I just looked at her got close in her face and I talked to her and said, SAY I WANT......JUICE, MILK, PLAY..BYE BYE..etc...I would not repsond to her whinning because I know where it was coming from...
My son is just over 2 now, but we have always told him that we dont understand him when he whines and that if he needs to do it to feel better, that it's fine but he should do it in his room until he decides he is done. He quickly realizes that he wont get the reaction he wants from us by whining and he usually stops immediately. Only on rare occasion does he actually leave, and then he finishes having his melt down and comes back to talk when he is calm.
She's just exploring her language skills. The important thing is not to reward annoying behavior with positive reinforcement, and to try to channel her energy into more positive ways of communicating with you.
if your baby is a whiner, there are many reasons this could be happening, lack of communication as some babies are more responsive then others. then theres if mum your not fully happy your baby will pick up on this, and be fare no mum is happy when baby crys constant. i have 5 children and had 1 that cried constant she 14 now and still craves attention. so its not all about mum either. i found that playgroups run by local athorities helped coz baby seeing other babies and how they communicate help bring my baby forward in learning to communicate. singing is another good way of stopping baby crying as can be very soothing and baby see you relax and starts to calm down. and you dont have to sing in tune either lol as long as your relaxed whilst doing it. when your baby is not crying try pointing games and little signs so you can understand what your baby is asking for. when i give my baby a bottle from 6mnths i would tap my mouth with my 2 fingers and say bottle so by the time he was 8mnths and he could barely mutter daddy he could tell me that he wanted a bottle through copying the sign. hes 18mnths now and very forward in talking and communicating but i do believe that through being around other babies and the fact i got more experience this time.lol hope this helps you and good luck.
you may try to find something to distract the child like some bricks to play with or water fun . some music that they may like .
good luck

Snow! In October!
According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, we're supposed to receive a lot of snow this year. Well. This certainly seems an auspicious start.
Snow! Before Halloween! In North Carolina!
How peculiar.
(Please excuse the poor quality photographs. I popped outside this morning whilst still in my pink striped pajamas, so I didn't want to dawdle...)
And I had just hung my pretty autumn wreath!
I picked it up at the Asheville City Market (LOVE the City Market) last Saturday. My fab friend Sumner and her father run Spotted Dog Farm, and they grow all kinds of gorgeous flowers and berries. Sumner is selling these wreaths right now, along with oodles of cool crafts like knitted creatures in striped beanies and skull shirts, and messenger bags made from recycled grain bags and felted sweaters. Sumner is so talented! And she just opened an etsy shop here.
And because I've meant to post this picture for MONTHS, I suppose now is as good a time as any. Despite the red and gold leaves outside.
And the snow.
This was a bouquet I picked up at Sumner's stall this August. Isn't it lovely?
And in case you are wondering why I keep such beautiful flowers in my laundry room, ask Mr. Tumnus. Anywhere else in the house, and these would be DESTROYED.
Recommended Reads: Halloween Edition
Gotta start with the classics.
You can't go wrong with any Poe collection, but how about Edgar Allen Poe's Tales of Mystery and Madness illustrated by the enormously talented and fabulously pseudo-named Gris Grimly?
And as much as I like Poe, I LOVE Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." I don't know how many times I've read it, but I'll never tire of it. If you've only seen the film adaptations, now is the perfect time to step into the real Tarry Town with Ichabod Crane, Brom Bones, and Katrina Van Tassel. (It won't take long. It's short.)
Does anyone do unsettling better than Edward Gorey? He's PERFECT for Halloween! My favorites are The Doubtful Guest (gotta love a mysterious penguin in a striped scarf) and The Willowdale Handcar.
For the kid in you (or, you know, your actual kid), try these: Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich and Frankenstein Takes the Cake by Adam Rex. These poems are hilarious, and the illustrations are phenomenal -- everything from gorgeous glossy black & whites to Charlie Brown-esque comic strips. And did I mention how FUNNY they are? Check out some of the titles inside the latest:
"No One Comes to Skull Island Anymore"
"Dracula Jr. Wants a Big-Boy Coffin"
"Please Stop Staring at My Delicious Head"
"Edgar Allen Poe Hears Sweet Music Like the Dulcet Tones of Angels or Whatever"
(FYI, Adam Rex also has a pretty cool blog.)
Can't resist mentioning one of my favorite authors. Both The Graveyard Book and The Dangerous Alphabet were released this year and would make excellent Halloween reading. Gaiman is great at creepy, and it's interesting that it's his work for children that's always the scariest! It's also worth noting that The Dangerous Alphabet -- a very Clever with a capital "C" picture book -- is another work featuring the art of Gris Grimly, so it's double-y cool.
(FYI, Neil Gaiman also has a pretty cool blog.)
I think there's a law that says you can't talk about scary books without talking about Stephen King. So. He's unusual for me, in that I generally prefer his short stories (which are still long & more like novellas) than his novels, but I do have a soft spot for The Shining. I like to hand it to the Literary Snobs who come into my work, scoffing about the poor, tasteless schmucks who read Stephen King. Heh. It always shuts them up. There's a reason it's a classic.
And for another adult novel, try The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I don't know why I don't talk about it more often, because it really is phenomenal. It's not scary-scary, but it's appropriate to include because it has one of the most terrifying villains I've ever seen. I'm talking about a seriously scary dude. But . . . that's not surprising because this book has EVERYTHING! It's an adventure, romance, mystery, and thriller, and not only that, but the plot revolves around Wondrous Lost Books.
If you want to get your teen girl on -- me! me! me! -- how about Jinx by Meg Cabot (about witches) or Devilish by Maureen Johnson (about demons)? These are quick, fun reads that will keep you smiling the whole way through.
(FYI, Meg and Maureen also have a pretty cool blogs.)
For writers, now is a perfect time to browse something by Karen Elizabeth Gordon: Deluxe Transitive Vampire (grammar), The New Well-Tempered Sentence (punctuation), or The Disheveled Dictionary (vocabulary). If you've never run across her work before, you're in for a treat. Forget Strunk & White. Learn how to construct prose with her delicious cast of Gothic characters.
For example, study independent clauses with sentences like these from Deluxe Transitive Vampire:
--I fondled his lapel, and I caressed his socks.
--Her irony is getting rusty, and her audience is bored.
--The mannequin gave the baby vampire her phone number, but she knew he'd never call.
The Spider and the Fly by Tony DiTerlizzi (based on Mary Howitt's poem) is on my list of top five picture books of all time. This book is BEAUTIFUL. The illustrations glow and flicker like a silent film, and the creepy factor is through the roof. This one is always a big hit with elementary-aged children.
(FYI, Tony DiTerlizzi also has a pretty cool blog.)
And because no one does Halloween better than picture books, here are a few more. These are some gentler -- but sooo cool -- titles, for little ones who want to bask in the holiday spirit without getting too scared. In other words, these are the books that I would have liked when I was young! It took me a long time to be brave about such things.
Skeleton Hiccups by Margery Cuyler (author) and S.D. Schindler (illustrator)
Los Gatos Black on Halloween by Marisa Montes (author) and Yuyi Morales (illustrator)
Ghosts in the House! by Kazuno Kohara
Leonardo, the Terrible Monster by Mo Willems -- Not a Halloween book, but monsters are always appropriate this time of year. Plus, I can't talk about picture books without recommending one by Mo. Because he is the best. Period.
(FYI, Mo Willems also has a pretty cool blog.)
And because I'm on a graphic novel & comics kick right now, I've gotta mention The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman (author), and Tony Moore, Charlie Adlard, & Cliff Rathburn (illustrators). Big thanks to my super-awesome friend Jim for recommending this! As you know, zombies are the new vampires, and this fits the interest perfectly. It's an ongoing comic about living in a world with zombies, and because it's open-ended, it allows us to inspect so many more aspects of life-after-catastrophe that horror films don't have time for. And like all good zombie stories, the people are often the scariest creatures of all. So, as Jim warned me, don't get too attached to any of the characters...
Now that I've shared mine, what are YOUR favorite creepy reads?
If I knew where you lived, I'd be knocking on your door right now, recruiting you for NaNoWriMo.
While my desktop computer is currently off the fritz, I thought I'd better blog quick quick quick. Because for the past two weeks, our desktop has decided not to turn on. Sometimes.
But OF COURSE it turns on for the repair guys. Every time.
(Naughty beast.)
So that explains the decline in bloggage around here lately -- I have been at the mercy of a single power button. A single e-vil power button. But let's not give it any more attention than it deserves. Because you know what?
IT'S NaNo TIME AGAIN!!!
Can you tell I'm happy? Because I am, in the most genuine way possible.
Were it not for NaNoWriMo, I would not be the proud author of the big fat beautiful manuscript that I am today. (The one that Laini Taylor gave the best-est, nicest post about EVER last week. My toes are still wiggling with joy. THANK YOU, LAINI! When I am Rich and Famous, I will buy you a castle. Or, at least, let you borrow mine.)
Anyway, I freaking love NaNo. I love it so much I'd marry it if I could, and we'd have gorgeous, toner-scented children.
Partial list of other things this week I've said that I'd marry if I could:
Last year was my first time participating in National Novel Writing Month. I'd been hearing about it for years, but I kept blowing it off. "Writing 50,000 words in thirty days? Puh-lease. You can't force creativity."
Well, you wanna know something?
You totally can. And usually you have to.
Because if it weren't for NaNoWriMo, I'd still be working on the same book I'd been working on for the previous three and a half years. Yeah. Years. And not only that, but I'd still be revising the same three chapters! My light bulb moment was when someone explained to me that NaNo isn't about creating a GOOD draft. Just a finished draft.
Me: "A finished draft? Well, heck. I could use one of those."
Because let's face it -- the first draft is the hardest. Practically impossible. That blank white page, that dead eye staring back at you. So why drag it out over months and months (or, in my case, years and years)? Get that sucker done in ONE month and move on!
So I signed up, I wrote my butt off, and I won.
(If you didn't already know, "winning" in NaNo terms means you FINISHED. It's not a contest. And believe me, finishing IS winning!)
Really. It was that simple. I worked -- hard -- and it got written.
You: "So was it a good book?"
Me: "Um . . . no."
It was pretty much the worst thing I'd ever written. The main character was cardboard, the plot was nonexistent, and the scenes were written in both the past and present tense. It also had a lot of these:
That's a direct quote, by the way. Not "Big explosion in the condom factory, fill in details later." But "something important."
But the amazing thing about NaNo was that it gave me a COMPLETE draft to work with. And sure it was this ugly, hole-filled snotty troll of a thing, but it had an ending! Which was more than any of my other books could brag about. And in between the cliches and the plot gaps, I saw . . . potential. Tiny, shimmering threads of hope.
And that's what I latched onto in my next draft. I took what what worked, figured out why it worked, and made it work better. That's revising in a nutshell.
(The key word there? Work. Which I did. Which I'm still doing.)
So this year I'm recruiting. Because I believe in this way of novel-writing. I know it's not the only way of doing it, but it helped me like nothing else had helped before. So for anyone out there sitting on a Great Idea (cough, Sara Z, cough), or for any writer stuck between projects, or any writer who is even remotely curious in the teeniest tiniest way -- here is my advice.
Try it.
Sign up. And write.
And if you want to win? Well, I'm glad you asked. Because I've got you covered there too:
(1) Turn off your Inner Editor. You know, this is the voice that tells you, "That sentence sucks. This idea sucks. YOU suck. Time to get a second job, suck-a-holic. I hear Applebee's is hiring." Send your Inner Editor to Legoland for the month. Tell her not to worry, because she'll have plenty of work to do when she gets back. (You'll want her on your side during revisions, after all.)
(2) Write everyday. Even if it is crappy. Which it will be. When you get stuck, insert "Something Important Happens Here" brackets and move on to whatever strange idea that pops into your brain next. Important stuff (and logic) is for second drafts.
(3) Do NOT read what you have already written. This is the quickest way of becoming discouraged and getting caught in the revision game. NO REVISING! KEEP MOVING FORWARD!
(4) Make NaNo friends. You can find them on the forums. Send them encouraging emails and, chances are, they'll send you encouraging emails back. These emails are crucial to survival. Only your NaNo buddies will understand the full insane-ness of writing a novel in thirty days.
(5) Expect it to be terrible. Keep your expectations low, and you will be much, much happier! Remember, the good stuff comes later.
Much later.
And remember: It's only one month of your life. How much did you write last month? Even if you don't win NaNo, it's almost guaranteed you'll write more this November than you did this October. And isn't that something to be proud of?
So if you're interested, come find me. I'm naturallysteph in NaNo land, and I'd love to be your writing buddy.
We can send each other messages like, "YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!! ONLY THIRTY THOUSAND MORE WORDS TO GO BEFORE WE POP THE CHAMPAGNE!!!!" And these too: "If anyone ever reads this novel, I will DIE. I will throw myself off a cliff and hope to be trampled by horned goats. Please assure me your novel blows as hard as mine."
OH . . . and one more thing. The word counters.
My god, the word counters! The graphs! The charting of progress, and comparing your progress to everyone else's! This is what NaNo is REALLY about.
You know, finishing before your friends.
Because -- fer serious, people -- if seeing someone else write 7k words in a single day doesn't tweak your competitive spirit, I don't know what will.
National Storytelling Festival + Corn Maze = Autumn Geek Goodness
Happy Autumn, everyone!
Welcome to my favorite time of year -- the season of pumpkins on porches, red leaves with golden tips, and Tim Burton movie marathons.
I hope you are celebrating.
Two weekends ago was the 36th National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee. Every year, the best storytellers from across the country perform over a three day weekend in what can only be described as the Cutest Main Street Ev-ah. Over ten thousand people descend on this sleepy mountain town to gather under circus tents and eat homemade ice cream and listen to the storytellers spin their magic.
Jarrod and I are fortunate to live only an hour away. I've attended the last three years, and it's already hard to imagine autumn without it. This was the second time we went with our friends, Sara and Jeff, for the Ghost Stories portion of the event. After night falls, everyone spreads their blankets around a gazebo illuminated in orange light. Torches flicker, the air gets chilly, and the stories get spooky.
This year, Donna Washington was the crowd favorite with a tale about a bride, her dead fiance, and a promise to follow each other to the grave. Creepy-fantastic stuff.
So what's the only way to top such an event?
Last weekend we started with a meal at The Farmer's Daughter. No pictures (sorry), but this restaurant (also in nearby Tennessee) is all about classic Southern grub. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cornbread with sorghum molasses, fried green tomatoes, soup beans, coleslaw, and my favorite -- carrot souffle. Which tastes just like sweet potato casserole.
Which is the best reason to move to the South.
Now I couldn't eat like this everyday, but on a fine Sunday afternoon in autumn? Can you beat that? Plus, the best thing about The Farmer's Daughter is that they use local meats and veggies! Oh -- and they also cook with REAL BUTTER.
Mmm. Butter.
So what's the best way to work off a big Southern brunch? Why don't you ask the fake cow who won this year's blue ribbon?
Or these outhouses with actual half moons cut out of the wood?
Oh yeah.
This weekend we topped the Storytelling Festival with a CORN MAZE!
This sign was also by the ticket stand:
I missed out on this whole phenomenon growing up in Arizona, so as an adult, I'm making up for lost time. Though I must admit -- I couldn't stop thinking about how fantastic it would be to be a teenager on a date in a corn maze. Not during the day. But at night.
Lots of corners for nefarious activities.
Don't be surprised if someday you read one of my novels, and my characters start going at it in a corn maze. I'm just saying.
SO anyway, we hit the corn maze! Yay! And it was super-fun, until we realized the trick. All left turns. How lame is that? As Sara said, "It's like discovering Santa Claus isn't real."
Actually, it was still fun even after we realized the trick. Because it was still a giant pathway through corn.
Which is a fantastic use of vegetables, if you ask me.
So what's next weekend? We're thinking a scary film festival in which we each select one movie and stuff ourselves with cider and doughnuts. I'm bringing An American Werewolf in London, because that's one seriously underrated flick.
(1) The song "Blue Moon" which is permanently linked to this movie in my brain.
(2) The legal disclaimer in the closing credits which reads, "Any resemblance to any persons living, dead, or undead is coincidental." Which is the same disclaimer at the end of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" two years later. Speaking of...
(3) Rick Baker did the makeup. Yeah. He's the "Thriller" guy. So it's that level of awesomeness. Plus, it was the first movie to ever win the Oscar for Best Makeup. (They created the category BECAUSE OF THIS MOVIE!)
(4) It's funny funny funny.
(5) The first ten minutes are creepy. In such a good way.
What are you doing to celebrate the season?
In Which I Do It (not "it" it, perv)
Brain . . . dead . . .
but it's done.
Revisions. Are. Done.
(Can I say that one more time?)
Well, you know, kind of done.
Today I mailed and hand-delivered copies to my super-fab feedback crew, and I have a week off. (Before I revise again.) Not that I won't be writing this week. I will definitely be writing. But I won't be writing THAT.
I can't think straight to be clever. Though I do have a good cannibal joke:
Why don't cannibals eat clowns?
Because they taste funny.
Will be back soon with regularly scheduled blog. With regularly scheduled life. With regularly scheduled sleep.
Sleep is awesome. It reminds me of this book:
Which is also awesome.
And I'd talk about it more -- give a detailed, pie chart presentation of said Awesomeness -- were I not so much like the guy in the background of this:
I am going to sleep now.
Nick & Norah, Novel & Film
Woo hoo! Anyone else excited about Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist?
The release today definitely calls for a break from revisions. I'm a big, big fan of the novel. Rachel Cohn and David Levithan wrote such a funny, intelligent, sexy book, and I'm thrilled it's coming to the big screen. Kat Dennings looks to be a perfect snarky Norah, and Michael Cera? Hello? Made of awesome!
Rachel is one of my favorite YA authors. Her Gingerbread series rocks so hard that I die a little bit from jealousy every time I read it. It's SO smart. The characters actually grow and change in each one -- a surprisingly rare occurence in sequels -- and, of course, there is a Hot Boy. (I have previously expressed my Shrimp-love on my Top Ten Hottest Hotties of Literature list. Oh yeah. Hottest hotties.)
But back to the movie. Which, I hope, will be as fabulous as the book. Which, I should warn, is not for those easily offended by a certain word that rhymes with "muck."
Hint: It's not "truck." Or "duck."
I think in the picture at the top of this post, Norah is wearing the Salvatore jacket! So cool! Can you imagine how thrilling it must be for an author to see one of those weird little details she created actually EXIST in real life? If I were Rachel or David, I'd be as excited about Salvatore as anything else.
And how great is this? I just read on Rachel's blog that the two authors have cameos! They are "the couple sitting behind Michael Cera and Kat Dennings in the Veselka scene."
Look for them!
One of my deepest deepest desires is that someday, if the universe loves me, I'll visit the set of a movie based off one of MY novels . I geek out about film almost as much as I geek out about literature, so if this were to happen, there is a 87.9% chance I'd actually EXPLODE from happiness.
And I totally want to explode. You know, from happiness.
Not a bomb.
(Happiness > Bombs)
Have a great weekend everyone!

Ahead of the premiere of Robert Carsen's new production of Falstaff, take a look backstage with this gallery of rehearsal photos. The Canadian-born director's take on Verdi's Shakespearean opera is set in the 1950s, during a period of huge social change in Britain.
Next week we'll publish an interview with the director in which he tells us about the inspiration for his production, as well as his personal feelings on the appeal of the piece.
This gallery follows our recent appetite-whetting gallery of prop cakes adorning Sir John Falstaff's banquet.
Falstaff opens on 15 May and will be shown on BP Summer Big Screens around the country on 30 May.

Hi, my name is Omroy. I decided early this morning to google java forums and I came across several including this one. I am novice, but I am eager to learn. So it would nice if someone can tell me what this site offers.
Also I am wondering, is it possible to post a question and my answer to it and ask someone to write it from different perspective. The reason why I ask this is because I realize there is multiple ways to write Java program and I want to increase my understanding.
I am young adult, like to watch korean tv shows, like to read the bible, and basically your average person.

Cities battle campaign sign spamming
About 70 Romney signs were planted along part of Hickman Road Monday, some in the median, but it didn't take long for them to end up in the back of the city code enforcement truck.
City officials said campaign signs of any variety are not allowed in areas that create a safety concern.
It's against the law to post signs on public property or in road right-of-ways, the space between the sidewalk and the road.
Officials said the signs pose a hazard to drivers who are trying to see oncoming traffic.
If there is no sidewalk, the right of way may vary for each property.
KCCI's Cynthia Fodor checked one block in Des Moines and found by law the signs should be set 20 feet back from the curb.
Right across the street, it's 10 feet and around the corner the right-of-way is 17 feet making every single sign in one block KCCI checked as illegally placed.
In newer residential areas, signs should be set 12.5 feet back from the curb.
Cities do not limit how many political signs someone can have.
In Des Moines, the signs must come down a week after the election, but many suburbs have no say in how long they can stay.
If property owners in Des Moines don't not take their signs down a week after the election, the city will send the owner a letter with a reminder.

Smith Creek Rod Clip
Designed for use with light to medium weight outfits up to: 1/2 inch (13mm) diameter and maximum weight of 1 ½ lbs. (.75 kg).
Not for use with with big game-fishing, large surfcascastinng or other heavy weight outfits.
Funny how a new idea can come about. I was showing the guy who cleans my pool the Net Holster video. He's always been curious
about what we're cooking up next. Now Jason doesn't fish, but being an observant person he pointed out that while I was in the
process of releasing a fish I had my rod, landing net, and the fish all in my hand and how awkward that looked. I told him it was not
awkward at all but the normal way of fishing and I've been doing it like that forever. He said I should come up with something to
hold my rod and free up my hands. Being busy I brushed it off and didn't think about it until three days later. That's how long it took
before it sunk in that he was right.
Once again after months of prototyping and field testing, and with the voice of my Uncle Don resonating in my ears ever since I was
eight years old, "darn it Wayne, keep your reel out of the sand," I realized that simple is still best and believe me, some of the ideas
and early prototypes weren't that simple.
Once you get used to using it, in less than one day of fishing, you can't live without it. While I was field testng an early zinger its
cable broke leaving me without my clip for the rest of the day. I seriously missed it and now won't fish without one. It's a serious
piece of gear that works, can't believe I didn't see the need for it myself.

Randal Nelson necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 178 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
I am the founder of a marketing company outside of Boise, ID. We are launching a new marketing tactic... Greatest Local Deals. Our plan is to expand to every major market in the US using the name (city name)LocalDeals.com. For example, DallasLocalDeals.com or SeattleLocalDeals.com. These websites will feature an amazing deal at 50%-90% off normal prices. The deal changes every 24hours. The businesses promoted are all local businesses and we donate 10% of the revenue generated each day to a different non-profit or charity organization. The challenge is coming up with a logo design that will allow us to substitute the name of the city in the design as we roll out to each new market. I am sure there are designers out there who can pull this off! Are you one of them? This contest is ending early as we have already received so many excellent designs. It will now end at midnight PST on Saturday, April 3rd. We will select a winner on Easter Sunday!
Our research shows the top demographic audience for this site to be females between the ages of 18 and 45. They are typically employed with some disposable income and enjoy going out to dinner, entertainment venues and spas. We want to cater to this main demographic group without alienating our male visitors. We also expect many people to visit the site at the request of a non-profit or charity organization they support. Therefor, we expect an above average number of visitors who are caring and giving people.
We need a flexible, attractive logo the meets the needs described above for the target audience we also described above. As this is a new venture, designers are free to choose any colors, fonts, and other stylistic details without concern for fitting in with branding style guidelines. Our website is still being developed so let your mind be free!
The best logo would be one that is memorable and works as well on paper and promotional items as it does on the website. I would prefer the winning designer be able to provide us with logo files in AI, PSD, and JPG formats. We will need access to all layers so that we can adjust the logo as we roll out into new markets.
Finally, have fun! As marketers ourselves, we understand how important it is to enjoy your work. Thanks and good luck!

Communication is important in any relationship. If people do not communicate then chaos, or something like it, will ensue. A very important part of communication is listening. Being a good listener takes effort. It means being patient, putting aside what you have on your mind at the moment and intently listening to what the other person is saying. Nodding your head and using affirmative cues tell the other person that you respect what he or she is telling you, whether you agree or not.
One of my problems, pre-lifestyle change, was that my head, my heart and my stomach had a lot of miscommunication. The head and the stomach should be able to communicate effectively by themselves, but the heart likes to meddle. The heart created communication problems similar to the middle school dilemmas of "he said/she said confrontations". My heart wanted to tell my stomach that because I was upset about something that my head was telling my stomach that I needed to eat., but the head said no such thing. And so I did eat. I listened to the lies that my heart was telling me. The heart had ulterior motives. What was really happening is that my heart was controlling my stomach and that's out of order. The head should be in control, so if the heart has any concerns, it should tell the head. More than likely it's an emotional issue that needs to be resolved between the head and the heart and the stomach doesn't need to get involved.
Understanding our emotions is very important. Thinking about how we feel and why we feel that way is the first step to not letting your heart control your head and stomach. Listen to that nagging voice that says you don't need "just one more" cookie. Ask your stomach if it's truly hungry. More than often, if it's not telling you it's hungry then it's probably not! And if you still want to eat- ask your heart why.
That is not to say that one is more important than the other. The head, the heart and the stomach all play important parts in the communication process and respect should be given to all three. The stomach speaks in ways that are very easy to determine. It growls. Say no more. The heart is a little more tricky. Sometimes there's laughter, sometimes tears, and sometimes nothing at all. But the way you feel says it all. Emotions should not control eating, but for me, they often did and sometimes still do. The head is like that little guy on your shoulder telling you right from wrong. It's your conscience. You head can logically determine what it is that you body needs if it is listening to the other parts.
But sometimes we chose to ignore what our body is saying to us. We don't respect or acknowledge our emptions for what they are, we don't listen to our stomach telling us not to eat certain foods (or so much of certain foods) when we get heartburn, sometimes we don't just rest when we're sick. Listening effectively is so important. Listen to your body. Respect what it's telling you. Don't let miscommunication lead to slipups in the path to healthy living.

When snowflakes began falling Monday afternoon, the commotion near Mondawmin Mall slowed. Children pointed to the sky. Shoppers, their shoulders previously hunched against the cold, stood to take in the scene.
Inside, shoppers buzzed through stores buying last-minute gifts, extra wrapping paper or the final ingredients for holiday meals and desserts. At The Esquire barber shop, men and boys waited for a chair and a fresh cut while talking of Christmas Eve church trips and parties ahead.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, stepping from the Target store she frequents, discussed plans for an all-day Christmas feast. Cabbies waiting outside hoped to find passengers who had walked to the mall but suddenly found themselves over-burdened with presents. A few fares would allow them to swing back around and get an extra gift or two.
There was hardly any hustle-bustle or horn-honking in these final hours before the brief holiday calm.
"These can be stressful hours for people, but surprisingly, everyone here seems to be completely in the holiday spirit," Rawlings-Blake said.
Shoppers tore through stores over the weekend, retailers said, and were mostly finishing final errands Monday.
Target had restocked for the last push, said Kevin Lewis, a supervisor who has worked at the store for nine years.
"We've learned over the years that we're a last-minute kind of store," he said. "People find out they need a lot of different things as the big day approaches."
Olu Kamara, an aspiring actress and model who lives in the Barclay neighborhood of North Baltimore, walked out of the store with an overflowing cart that Lewis said was typical: half full of gifts for others, half full of long-needed household items that happened to be on sale. Kamara's selection included both a play kitchen for her niece and new set of pots and pans for herself. She plans to cook Christmas dinner.
"I came in saying I was going to spend $300 and spent much more," she said. "But you know what? I'll just say, 'Merry Christmas.' I wasn't going to let my godkids and niece go without gifts."
Many shoppers hovered around video game systems and electronic tablets, even those designed for young children.
Financial analysts have lowered their fourth-quarter revenue projections for toy companies like Hasbro and Mattel, according to the Financial Times, because of the continuing shift toward electronic gifts.
The National Retail Foundation predicted a 4.1 percent increase in all holiday sales over 2011, representing less growth than the last two years (5.6 percent and 5.5 percent). A lack of a must-have item — besides the iPad mini — and worry surrounding the fiscal cliff left consumers taking a more conservative approach, analysts told Investor's Business Daily.
David Pollard had taken the short trip to the mall to get his 3-year-old son a Nintendo Wii video game system and a Nerf gun, but stopped the mayor to lament the lack of bookmobiles making the rounds in Baltimore.
"I worry about how much time these kids are spending in front of computers and televisions," he said. "You set a kid free with all those books around, give them a choice. That's what we need to do. Bring back some of those old traditions."
Pollard said he waited to shop on Christmas Eve because "you can save just a little bit."
Rawlings-Blake needed wrapping supplies, she said, after picking up a few last gifts at Shananigans toy store in Wyndhurst.
She'll settle in for a long "brunch" on Christmas, featuring a made-to-order omelet bar, a Belgian waffle station and "all the breakfast meats you can name." Family members come together to prepare the meal, she said.
"We'll eat from noon to midnight," she said.
Target employees were braced for the actual last minutes of the Christmas Eve rush, as the store planned to stay open until 9 p.m., an hour later than the rest of the mall. Lewis said people usually stream through to see whether extra sales have kicked in — or because any reserve they'd shown up to that point had been whittled away by the holiday spirit. The store opens at 7 a.m. the day after Christmas and will again be well-staffed to handle returns and purchases made with gift cards.
"That's one of our busiest days of the year because of the cards," he said.
But Monday afternoon at Mondawmin, the lines were short and moved quickly. Lewis called it a "pretty normal" Christmas Eve.

Super Mario All-Stars: 25th Anniversary Edition - Wii
Release Date:December 12, 2010
Viewing USA:Also on UK.
If you needed another reason to celebrate 25 years of Super Mario, how about a Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition, containing four of the original most famous Mario games of all time from the NES, as well as a bunch of extra collectables.
Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition will include a Super Mario All-Stars Disk case containing Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels all on one disk, giving Mario fans four reasons to relive the excitement of these classic games on Wii. And if you missed out on them the first time round, nows the time to discover four of the reasons why Super Mario has become one of gamings most loved series of all time.
This new collection will also include a special booklet detailing the full history of Super Mario as well as a real treat for fans of the series an audio CD containing music from Super Mario games spanning the last 25 years, from the original 1985s Super Mario Bros. to 2010s Super Mario Galaxy 2, with classics such as Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine along the way.
In the quarter of a century since Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamotos team put the finishing touches to his first major adventure, Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Mario has become one of the most globally recognised characters in the world of entertainment
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
This 25th Anniversary Edition will probably become a collector's piece and comes with an interesting, informative booklet which is stuffed with design pages, time-lines, story of the game's birth and history, artworks and more. Although the disc contains previous SNES games that are repackaged into a DVD, which means the same gameplay and the same graphics, just like the ones you have seen before, it's still well worth the money as the visual quality is crisp and the four games contained in the disc are still incredible fun to play. Also, with this edition, several control options are available this time.
To describe the overall content of the disc, it is a compilation of Super Mario Bros from 1 to 3 in a 16-bit rendition. An additional "Super Mario Bros. The Lost Level" is included which is actually Super Mario Bros 2 that was released in Japan. With its new visual presentation and sound effects, it also features Save Slots in the franchise, which means that you can finish the game anytime. The game runs for 26 minutes and the music CD contains soundtracks from Super Mario Bros. to Mario Galaxy 2, all-in-all 10 different themes and some memorable sound effects.
This unique memorabilia of Super Mario All-Stars is a sure bargain at around $30, or maybe less, look on a trustworthy comparison site, such as for up to the minute prices. You might be disappointed as it doesn't offer something new, but for the avid Super Mario fans, this is a cool treat, and for newcomers it's a feast of new fun. But, after all, the point of this item is to celebrate Nintendo's 25th anniversary, and many people will be buying this not because they're keen to play what they have already played before, but more as a collector's item for someone collecting everything that's either Nintendo or Super Mario.

A Taste of the New Food at the US Open
"Global flavors and local ingredients."
That's the theme of this year's food offered at Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Following in the footsteps of Yankee Stadium and Citi Field's new high-end culinary options, this year's US Open is selling dishes by celebrity chefs, sushi, and other items beyond the typical hot dogs.
I got a chance to meet the chefs last week for a preview of the menu, for which "40% of all produce is sourced from local and regional farms." The Open's food comes by way of four restaurants, a wine bar, and more casual "food village." Take a look at the slideshow for dishes from David Burke, Tony Mantuano, and Masaharu Morimoto, and more. You can read more about the food at the Open on their website.

I aked the question, Compiler targeting LLVM written in .NET language (F#) — best route? , which received 2 close votes.
Upon asking why, John Palmer explained that it's because "best way to __" questions aren't suited for SO.
So I changed the title to "How to target LLVM from a compiler written in F#?", and removed the paragraph where I bring up several options that I've considered, and I received a good answer. Understandably, the word "best" was setting off alarms.
Hours later, the question was closed with 3 additional votes.
The FAQ says that such questions "will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling or extended discussion". That is clearly not the case here; my purpose in providing a few examples of things that might work and then asking for the "best", was to show that I had done my own research, because last time I asked a question, another user suggested that would be closed for "being too localized and not having shown own research".
John notes that this question is also too broad, and that "SO questions are best when they are like: I tried to do
x - here is my code
... but this part gives me a compiler/runtime error" -- which was the exact format of my other question, and it still offended people.
There are also plenty of questions of this kind, including a similar and related one with 21 upvotes -- which in fact is a "best way to ___" question disguised as a "hesitating between" question with even less of a clear conclusive answer. (By the way, this question is also not "not constructive" by any measure, evidenced by the very good and completely uncontentious answer it received with 19 votes up and 0 down.)
So one of my questions was closed because it wasn't about any particular bug or error in my code, and showing my own research partially made it a choice question. The one before it was threatened because it was "too localized" because it was a question about a particular error message, and because I didn't show my own research.
I feel as though people are having way too much fun with the close button. People are seemingly looking for any painfully contrived reason to use it, and having a (1) or a (2) next to it seems to be good enough.
