LIANE HANSEN, host:
There are now 33 tribal radio stations broadcasting in the United States and many of them just started in the past few years. The FCC recently approved construction permits for 30 more.
Producers Jesse Hardman and Maura O'Connor recently hit the road to investigate the emergence of tribal radio.
Here's Jesse Hardman.
JESSE HARDMAN: Loris Ann Taylor grew up on the Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona. There was no electricity, telephone or even running water. But one day, a passing tourist gave her grandfather a transistor radio.
Ms. LORIS ANN TAYLOR (Radio Advocate): I thought it was just marvelous to hear, like, this music that was so alien to Hopi culture. You know, it was something I didn't hear except very late at night, and I was, like, who are these people? Who's Patsy Cline, you know? Who's Elvis Presley?
HARDMAN: It would be another 40 years before the Hopi reservation, where Loris Ann Taylor spent her childhood, got its own FCC license. Finally, in December of 2000, KUYI was launched, a Hopi-owned Hopi produced radio station serving the reservation.
Mr. JIMMY LACERO (Southern Thunder, Disc Jockey, KUYI-FM): This is Southern Thunder. You're on the air. Take it away. Give me four push-ups. Hookah. And you are listening to (Foreign language spoken) and this is 88.1 FM. And good morning.
HARDMAN: Jimmy Lacero is a part-time farmer, Hopi elder and the morning DJ on KUYI.
Mr. LACERO: Everybody likes me, and everybody calls in. You know, it's a good thing for them 'cause they like to hear a person that talking Hopi, their own language, on here. And when I put my pow wow music on here in the morning, too, I like to put that hookah in there, you know, and all that good Indian words.
(Soundbite of radio broadcast)
Mr. LACERO: (Foreign language spoken)
HARDMAN: Most of America is inundated with new forms of communication technology, but an old standby - radio - is still the most important and oftentimes only medium delivering information to Indian communities.
Unidentified Woman #1: You are tuned in to KOHN 91.9 FM Tohono O'odham Nation, South Arizona. The voice of the Tohono O'odham Nation.
Unidentified Man #1: You're listening to KIDE, (unintelligible) the Hoopa tribal radio from the greater Hoopa Valley.
Unidentified Man #2: On KPYT, 100.3, your (unintelligible) radio.
Unidentified Woman #2: The voice of the Basquiaki(ph) Tribe.
HARDMAN: Loris Ann Taylor is now the executive director of Native Public Media, a nonprofit organization that is spearheading the surge in tribal radio stations nationwide.
Ms. TAYLOR: I mean, you can do banking online. I mean, on your mobile handheld you can get the weather, you can get the latest news. I mean, you can text, you can tweet. I mean, there's your connection in your hand and yet, in Indian country, it's just an unknown. People don't know that that kind of technology exists.
HARDMAN: Taylor says that less than 10 percent of families on native reservations have broadband connections, a third still don't have telephones. That means that radio is often the only way to get information on important issues like safety, health, education and tribal government.
Joseph Orozco is the manager and DJ for the Hoopa valley Indian tribe's radio station KIDE in Northern California. In the summertime, he uses his airwaves to warn locals about forest fires that threaten the reservation.
Unidentified Woman #3: Learn about wild land fire, emergency preparedness and home ignition preventions. Fire agencies…
Mr. JOSEPH OROZCO (Manager, DJ; KIDE): If it comes to emergencies, radio is the thing because everybody tunes into KIDE during those times.
HARDMAN: At KOHN, the radio station run by the Tohono O'odham Nation, near the Arizona-Mexican border, public health nurses host a show on issues such as diabetes and children's health.
Unidentified Woman #4: Hello. Once again, it's the public health nurses from self-service unit. We're here to talk today…
HARDMAN: The Tohono O'odham reservation is the size of Connecticut and tribal members often live in isolation without access to roads or power lines. The hosts of the health show say that for the price of batteries, everyone can stay in touch.
Unidentified Woman #5: This is a lady. She says I'm 29 with kids ages eight and ten. They're fathered by…
HARDMAN: As communities around America search for ways to connect through new technology, reservations are using what some consider an outdated platform to make those same community connections. Radio advocate, Loris Ann Taylor.
Ms. TAYLOR: It's wonderful to hear the Sioux language on the airwaves or the Tohono O'odham people speaking their language or the Hopi or the Navajo, and how vibrant that makes the community and how robust and healthier the communities are, because they feel that their identity is validated, that they matter, that their culture is valued and that their history is being told.
HARDMAN: New tribal radio stations from Hawaii to New York expect to begin broadcasting in the next three years. But if you want to listen to more tribal radio before then, you can't do it online. Most don't stream over the Internet. You have to get in your car and go hear them live on the air.

Lochnagar and Loch Muick
Key information: Lochnagar and Loch Muick
This walk climbs from the foot of the magnificent, glacial Loch Muick to a horseshoe of forbidding crags around a bleak high tarn.
The high Lochnagar ridge has superb views of the Cairngorms and the moorlands of the Balmoral estate. A steep track drops, beside beautiful waterfalls, back down to the royal lodge on the shore of Lock Muick.
There is also a number of fabulous walks in the Loch Muick area, including a circuit of the lake and trails up onto the high plateaux around it.
Lochnngar is a tough mountain walk. Come prepared.

Lochnagar is a bit schizophrenic. At times, it is sinister and gloomy, a dour and capricious old grandee with its dark (thousand foot) cliffs hunched around the lonely eponymous loch at its base and the bleak, monochrome moorland rolling away to its south. Then the sun emerges and the same moorland becomes a delicate patchwork of bright greens and browns, the ridges now receding into delicate distant blues. But it always dominates mid Deeside, always present even if frequently hidden in low cloud. It is the highest point for miles around, with huge views in all directions.
Lochnagar is at the heart of the Balmoral estate, where the Royal Family escapes each summer from the duties and formality of the south and the area is redolent of royal associations, with Queen Victoria and Prince Charles in particular. And Lord Byron loved it:
"...England thy beauties are tame and domestic
To one who has roved o'er the mountains afar
Oh for the crags that are wild and majestic
The steep frowning glories of the dark Loch na Garr."
The area is now a wildlife reserve, home to eagles, ptarmigan, otters, mountain hares and red squirrels, as well as a permanently too-large population of red deer which, reserve or not, still have to be culled each year. In a deep, narrow glen to the south lies Loch Muick, a textbook example of the effects of glaciation and as moody and unpredictable as its great neighbour to the north. The whole area is lovingly maintained by the Balmoral Estate.
Lochnagar is usually approached from Glen Muick to the south. The walk begins by crossing the wide, boggy valley bottom, a lung-opening 20 minute tramp between peaty pools, banks of heather and bogs of impossibly bright green moss. It then climbs through a pleasing stand of large pines, with sunny, grassy glades between patches of crunchy pine needles, before emerging onto the bare hillside and starting the real climb.
The path climbs steadily through beautiful country beside a little burn for an hour or so. Gradually, the moorland across Glen Muick, and the ridges beyond, come into view.
At a high pass, you get the first big views north across the Dee Valley to the high Cairngorms. Turning left, you wind slowly up a long field of broken granite boulders to a high, bare shoulder between the summit ridge and the Meikle Pap. This is a favourite lunch spot, with a fine view down into the cauldron, where the peak-base loch sulks, dour and grey, beneath the tremendous cliffs of the curving summit ridge.
Then comes the hard bit, although it really isn?t too bad; 20 minutes of mildly unpleasant scramble up a steep slope of broken granite boulders to a cairn on the broken summit plateau. The track follows the rim of the great chasm round to the west, dipping and winding up round the back and onto the bare rock of the final ridge, to the final tor of vast weather-broken boulders. Nestle into sheltered crevices and admire the huge views.
Then it is the long tramp home. You can retrace your steps, or head almost due south to Loch Muick, then walk out along its shore, a longer route, but unforgettably beautiful. The path descends over heather moor, which slowly folds into the upper waters of the Glas-Altt burn. Scramble down beside a spectacular waterfall through great banks of imperial purple heather, gratefully reaching the lakeside and level ground in a stand of fine mature pines that shelter a small royal lodge, snug on a golden little beach by the lakeside. Turn left along a well-maintained track, and trudge out along the lakeside.
A shorter alternative is to turn hard left at the high pass and traverse south-west across high moorland before dropping down to Loch Muick by the Glass-Altt burn.
Loch Muick is an exceptional place, an often pewter, then sparklingly purple-and-blue reflecting, sheet between the dramatically steep hillsides of a classic glacial gouge. The heather can seem particularly bright here, and the lakeside is dotted with birch and rowans. You will be unlucky not to see a large group of deer, and we have seen golden eagles several times. There are numerous excellent walks around Loch Muick, including a 10 mile circuit of the lake, which can be extended by trails up from the lake to higher tarns, (the upper Dubh Loch under dark crags in particular) and tracks onto the high hills to the south-west, including the Capel Mounth track to Glen Cova.
The wide glen below the lake, with its river winding through bright boggy grassland, is also very lovely.
For further general and practical information see our Cairngorms page.
of this walk
The grey precipices of Lochnagar loom high above the river Dee as it winds, dark and peaty, out of its highland glen into gentler territory. It is the highest point for miles around, with huge views in all directions, as far as the sea some 30 miles to the south-east and Ben Nevis some 65 miles to the south-west. Nearer at hand, the wild moors and rocky peaks of the high Cairngorms dominate the northwestern skyline.

The Fox Theatre Institute's Expanded Preservation Grants Program
Fox Theatre, Inc. announces a bold expansion of its Fox Theatre Institute's Grants Program and Historic Preservation Services beginning in 2017. The expansion is part of the overall organization's strategic plan to increase impact and outreach across Georgia and beyond. Fox Theatre, Inc. has recently celebrated its 40th anniversary as a 501c3 organization whose mission is to preserve and share the Fox Theatre. The theatre is perhaps Atlanta's and Georgia's most iconic historic landmark, treasured venue, and catalyst for major social, cultural and economic impact. Sharing the resources of the theatre and overall organization happens in a range of ways: through presentation of world-class performance, magical theater experiences, community use of the historic facility, and through extensive outreach in communities across Georgia and beyond.
The Fox Theatre Institute
To lead and manage this unique outreach, the organization established the Fox Theatre Institute in 2008 – primarily in response to a statewide need for assistance with the restoration and operations of Georgia's historic theatres. In its early years, the Institute has provided a range of assistance through grants, restoration and operations expertise, training and professional development. The outcomes are that communities are enabled to leverage scarce resources and stimulate local economies. The Institute also manages Georgia Presenters, an innovative statewide talent booking consortium that provides presenters, theatres, and communities the opportunity to work together to increase cultural opportunities in their respective communities and statewide at an affordable cost. More recently, the Institute has overseen Fox in a Box, an interpretive curriculum-based resource for schools K-5.
The Expanded Grants Program
Over the next year, Fox Theatre Institute will be expanding its professional preservation services and grant support in four categories of need:
- Support for structures with urgent or emergency needs, for conditions or occurrences that threaten architectural integrity, stability or a potential community opportunity.
- Support for historic structures studies, research, or planning.
- Support for technical services related to preservation, operations, sustainability, community development, advocacy, etc.
- Implementation support for full or phased restoration projects that will leverage matching gifts and grants.
Guiding Criteria for All Applicants and Applications
Applicants should be able to speak to the following:
- The historic significance of the property to be assisted and evidence of community support.
- The need for funding and the urgency of the project or the long-term objectives or impact of the project.
- Increased cultural and/or economic impact for the community.
- Involvement of collaborations and partnerships that leverage additional public and private investment.
- The adequacy of plans to meet the current needs and for the future care and maintenance of the theater or the continuation for the activity for which grant support is requested.
If grant support is awarded, the following conditions will apply:
- Awardees are required to sign a contract agreeing to the conditions of the grant.
- If matching funds are required:
- Applicants must be capable of matching the grant amount dollar-for-dollar or more if there is potential to do so. Grant funds will be disbursed upon proof that matching funds have been secured or pledged formally.
- Matching gifts may come from private or public sources, or from earned income (special events, fundraising activities, etc.)
- Donated materials and services and organizational overhead costs can be eligible sources as matching funds if they directly underwrite the project budget and are the result of the Institute's challenge grant
- Grant projects must begin within six months of award date – otherwise, the grant award is subject to review.
- Periodic reports are required and specific to each form of grant support. These requirements will be detailed in the grant contract upon award notification.
- Within one year from the grant disbursement date, a final report of the project and financial accounting of the expenditure of the grant must be submitted. If the project is not completed in accordance with the contract, the parties will need to negotiate continuing or returning grant funds.
Please note:
- Organizations may submit applications for more than one Urgent or Emergency Needs grant per cycle.
- Organizations may apply for support only once per grant cycle in the following categories:
- Historic Structures Studies or Planning
- Periodic Technical Assistance and Services
- Preservation Grant
- (Organizations may apply for Urgent or Emergency Needs grant support in addition to one of the categories listed above.)
- The Fox Theatre Institute Preservation grant program's goal is to award funding for historic theatres in the state of Georgia. Grants will be awarded to projects designed to provide significant economic and cultural impact to the communities they serve. Grant award winners will also receive operations expertise and guidance through seminars, and strategic planning fostering professional development. Out-of-state applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis and must demonstrate a substantial impact on the development of the community.
For more information, questions, or other assistance, please contact: Leigh Burns, Director Fox Theatre Institute (email@example.com or 404.872.2972) or Maggie Fuller, FTI Community Engagement Manager (email@example.com or 404.881.2023)

text: FXStreet (Guatemala) - Analysts at Rabobank explained the rest of the key events for the day ahead. Key Quotes: "Today we have key Eurozone data with PPI (consensus -0.4%) and flash CPI for November (consensus: 0.2% m-o-m, and 1.1% y-o-y core). These data should back the ECB's activist playbook, which is redolent of Japan's traditional reserve currency tactics more than it is the UK or the US. In the US we have Lockhart speaking on the economy. We then have the ADP employment survey (consensus: 190K) as a warm up for what is looking to be an even more nerve-tingling Friday payrolls report than was already the case. After that we have Yellen talking to the Economic Club of Washington, then the Fed's Beige Book, and then Williams also speaking on the US outlook. Perhaps Fed hawks will overlook the ISM survey and stress that Mark Zuckerberg has just pledged to spend his USD45bn fortune on helping mankind, which should boost demand somewhat. (Kudos for that tikkun olam: I might even start actually using Facebook too if he really means it, but don't hold me to that just yet.)" For more information, read our latest forex news.

Glow In the Dark Beaded Lips Stroker
RRP: $29.95 You save: $9.95 (33%)
Reviewed: 27 December 2016 by Dnasty91, a Straight Going Steady Male
Amazing toy.
Not very durable if you're girthy. It's hard to last very long with beads on both sides. It's also very tight! Because of how tight it is it rips very easily.
I've bought this thing several times because of how good it feels. I've even tried taking out one set of beads to reduce some pressure but it still ripped.
- Pros
- Amazing pressure and beads.
- Cons
- Rips easily on girthy guys.
- Bottom line
- Amazing toy.
- Was this review helpful to you? Yes
Great Feel
Reviewed: 15 June 2013 by jonathan_lh, a Straight Going Steady Male
Material is soft and stretchy. Would recommend using lots of light lube, like ID Glide.
The nodules inside add more texture for better sensation while the beads allow for variation of pressure during use.
A great looking toy with realistic features. Really easy to clean material and fun to use.
- Pros
- The look, the feel, everything.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- A great toy for foreplay.

Good toy
Reviewed: 20 August 2016 by fated1990, a Straight Married Female
Got this for my OH. He hasn't had much experience with toys and so didn't want to get something more extreme than a stroker and he is very pleased with the purchase.
The material is flexible, yet strong, so varying the pressure is easy. While we have used it together, it does require a lot of lube so it is normally used in the shower, which apparently makes it much better.
- Pros
- He likes the nodules best.
- Cons
- I think it looks a bit scary, he says nothing!
- Bottom line
- Good toy, spices up solo time.

I'm thinking of getting this bag and I would love to see some modeling pictures
Sorry none from me....but BUMP!
I own the Deauville, but for me it's only a Beauty Case for my trips - for an everyday-bag the Deauville is too heavy and not pracical!
Here comes my Deauville!
I have this bag and I use it as an everyday bag. It can get heavy but so can a manhattan gm. I love how big and organized it is and it comes with a luggage tag to get heat stamped.
Sorry, No modeling pics from me but only to comment.. its too heavy for everyday use for me at least. I do love the bag and its very functional!
I have it and I love it!! i use it as intended, as a travel beauty case, but also for my pilates class, it easily fits my pilates clothes, towel and cosmetic bag. I would use it as an office bag too, if my laptop wasn't so big, because it has all these great inside pockets for your water bottle, cell phone, wallet etc. Also, I have added a shoulder strap to it too, so I can choose between shoulder or hand held. I think it is Kelly Ripa who has used it /use it for her work bag as well (saw that in an interview with her).
BTW, also I take it on the plane with me, with my pegase, so I can stuff lots of magazines, books and other things to have with me on the plane. I love it and find it super versatile.
I dont own a deauville but i think it is one of the cutest bags ever.
^ me too, i love it. definitely on my wish list.
maybe it is too heavy and not practical for everyday use...beacause that is what I was looking to use it for.
^ maybe the trouville is better then...?
Your set is amazing! It looks so chic all put together like that. I do not own this bag, but when traveling I always admire others, it certainly is something I hope to own one day.
Mai britt- do you let the baggage handlers load your baggage on the plane or are you a carry-on person?
I'd be terrified to let the baggage people get hold of LV, but it's because they are really handling lots of luggage, not because I think they're trying to wreck things.
I have had those as carry on (I used the deauville as a handbag, so I could have the pegase with me also)
I am also terrified of checking it in, I am afraid of getting stolen or really banged up. I don't think I will check any Vuitton luggage in ..
I don't have modeling pics (too shy) (took a lot of courgage to post my pic in avatar ) but here are some pics of my beloved Deauville.
I use mine as a city bag and I've never used the luggage tag with it because I think it looks too much like...well...luggage with it.

Actualization through Acting ? Can the Fiction in Drama and Role Play Actually Help us See Reality better?
As most readers are aware, I am currently a seminary student. Most people think this probably means a lot of reading. Lots of writing. Lots of Greek and Hebrew.
And… they're right. But, this training involves some other activities. Activities such as what I will be doing this weekend. On Saturday, I and the eight other classmates that comprise my Spiritual Formation cohort group will be participating in a "Life Sculpture." Ever seen Who's Line is it Anyway? If so, you can probably recall the comedy game where some of the participants are actors who have their bodies posed and moved by others, or who are acting, but some of the other comedians are their voices, and they have to act and respond based upon what the person who is their "voice" says? My explanation probably doesn't do anything by muddy the water, but to an extend this is the "Life Sculpture" activity- one person takes half of the group, picks them to be "actors" representing the different members of his or her family at the age of ten. After a little coaching, the "sculptor" sits back and watches his or her classmates act out there life (oh… but there's no talking. It's like a silent film).
Seem a little funny? Sound a lot like group process therapy? Its probably both of those. But, I won't be able to give a fair assessment until next week.
However, what I have heard from those who have participated, and really tried to invest themselves in it, is that although you are the director, seeing your life in the third person can have a profound impact on your soul. Even though you "knew" all the characters and the circumstances involved, sometimes "watching" and replaying life in front of you helps your see or accept realities that you merely acknowledged before.
In this sense, I believe that this is where we see the powerful mystery of the human imagination. As discussed a few weeks ago, the Fall did not hold out on damaging this miraculous characteristic of personhood, the imagination is still an element of the Imageo Dei in us. And one such ability of the imagination is that it can use fiction (that which is not real and imagined) to actually make reality seem more vivid, more "technicolor," more transformative… than it other wise could be.
This last week, I finished reading Gerd Theissen's (pronounced "Tyson") The Shadow of the Galilean. First published in the 1980's Theissen is a German Theologian whose specialty lies in first century social and political backgrounds. Yet, this book is unlike most other textbooks in that it is a historical narrative. It is a story about a fictional character, a Galilean Jewish merchant, who lives in the first century at the time of Jesus, and who, by exploration and word of mouth research, embarks on a mission to try to learn who this Jesus guy is.
Coming from a German theologian, any reading of the work requires a critical eye for identifying his presuppositions and historical and theological presuppositions. It also requires charity from the reader, keeping in mind that Theissen is a theologian, not a fiction writer (which is a great thing, as this means that sparkling vampires or other characters that help books sell like hotcakes stay out of his reconstruction of first century Palestine).
Yet, these things considered, I found this fictional narrative to be devotionally powerful, and spiritually significant. To join Theissen in imagining conversations with poor and marginalized farmers in Nazareth, who tell of the great shame and heartache they receive in having one son abandon their life of poverty to who was allured to join the murderous and ruthless ranks of the Zealots, and another who ran to hide in the hills to simply to run away from the debt and the indentured slavery of day to day life, didn't just pluck some heart strings. It injected human nature into the first century world that I have spent years reading textbooks on. To start to have compassion on those whose hearts were so broken, and whose lot in life seemed so helpless… begins to put me in a place where Jesus message of the Kingdom takes on a whole new level of paydirt. To this audience, teachings such as "Blessed are the poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God," pack a powerful punch of hope. To this family, to have a third son leave them to follow this nomadic Jesus who teaches that his followers must abandon their fathers and mothers, and that in fact their true fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers are those who follow with him, and not those who bore, nursed, labored and sacrificed to raise you… this would be a traumatizing experience. Forget that some religious teachers are up in arms about this man's statements that suggest some sort of divine status. This Jesus is tearing a part my family, leave me not only a broken and bleeding heart… but even more helpless than I was, without a son to help work my already understaffed plot of land for survival.
Movies that make us cry don't simply exploit our emotions. Sometimes the world of historical reconstruction allows us to explore the realities of the human soul- even our own soul- in ways we couldn't do otherwise. Sometimes letting one's imagination roam out of the box, and off the beaten path of historical or even self research, can lead to the discovery of new green pastures of life and hope.
So, what have you done lately to let your imagination help you explore the hidden habits of your soul?

Fun and games
I'm experiencing some technical difficulties with the site today, so I hope I can at least get this on the online for your viewing pleasure.
I feel like I've been a little controversial lately and I have some product reviews in the works, so in the meantime, some fun and games.
The Japanese are a curious combination of being incredibly reverent, intelligent, proper, polite, and reserved, yet after hours they can really get stuck into some really bizarre stuff. There are about a million game shows that put the contestants through the most outrageous challenges, but that's why we love them. This is one of the tame ones.
Riding a bike in a straight line isn't all that outrageous, but maybe that's because I've been doing it for a while. Maybe it's also because of what's on either side of that straight line. Remember, look where you want to go, not where you don't…
From getting a mouth full of water to winning a stage of a race you didn't even know you were entered in, we go to the brilliant parody of the Tour de France by Remi Gaillard, which everyone on earth has seen by now. Stunning.
I can't be certain which one came first, but I'm pretty sure that this effort from the French-Canadian crew from Just for Laughs got there first.
Remember Big Wheels? This is a bit cooler.
And, because things are better when they're uncomfortably tall, there's this:
Hopefully my website issues are sorted by tomorrow and I can get back to airing out cycling's dirty laundry as I see it.

Lenovo T60 Thinkpad
Lenovo T60 series is the first Thinkpad model release to have the Intel Core Duo processor. The notebook has been designed internally and externally to be used mainly by the businessmen and professionals, which is justified by the security and durability features as well as usability and performance characteristics. The overall Thinkpad series is enhanced by the release of Thinkpad T60, which has more performance optimization and some changes in the design.
Lenovo T60 design
The Lenovo T60 has retained all the standard T series design qualities – the same dominating dark grey color with a few exceptions in ultra navigation buttons, sound and power buttons – they have become silver colored instead of black. With the screen lids closed it's hard even to tell which model which, be it T40, T43 or T60. They all retain the same hard to break, strong, rugged plastic chassis which is fit for frequent travelers.
The magnesium reinforced screen lid is build keeping to the highest quality standards – it would not flex at all. The chances to break screen hinges are also weak; they are made out of thick and strong metal and the screen is not loose in any way.
The keyboard has some interesting features worth noticing – it is also inflexible and has two drain holes for possible liquid spill, so it won't touch the internal laptop parts and runs out through the bottom of it. However, dark colors and even buttons (with the exception of front panel buttons and pointing stick in the middle) are somewhat boring and more colorful features wouldn't undermine the look.
The Thinkpad T60 has been released in two sizes: 14" and 15" screen size. The smaller screen Thinkpad has longer battery life and is lighter than the larger one, though its specifications are a bit poorer. Besides 15 inch Think pad has one nice characteristic called Flex View – no matter from what angle you are looking at the screen, the picture doesn't change and blur.
The T60, unlike previous Lenovo notebooks of the same T series has 3 USB 2.0 ports, which is really cool, having in mind the today's demand for external devices (mouse, keyboard, USB sticks, external hard drives etc.). One USB port located on the left, the remaining two – on the right side.
There is also Modem (not popular), Ethernet RJ45 ports, microphone and headphones on the left side along with Monitor out connector, Epxress card and PCMCIA II slots.
The right side has only 2 USB and DVD CD – RW ROM.
Lenovo T60 Specifications
Intel Core Duo processor T2500 with 2 GHz to offer;
1 GB RAM; the notebook has the total capacity for maximum of 4 GB;
100 GB hard drive;
Video card – 128 MB ATI X 1400; It's still good to play most of the games (Half Life 2, Doom 3), though the setting must be configured to medium – the graphics resources are not sufficient to run on maximum settings;
15" inch screen 1400X1050 with SXGA (super extended graphics array) +;
Optical DVD CD – RW drive;
9 Cell battery holds up to 3 hours and more on average usage; It depends what you are doing – if you are burning the DVD, watching the movie and editing some documents, it might not hold long.
Wireless, Bluetooth and Infrared are also included;
Microphone, headphones; maximum turned on speakers are pretty loud, which is good comparing to some other developers models. You could easily listen to some music without having to actually lean to the speakers.
Modem, Ethernet RJ45 ports;
Monitor out connector;
Epxress card and PCMCIA II slots;
Fingerprint scanner;
Pros and Cons
What I am missing in Lenovo T60 is Firewire and SD slots. The developers might have sacrificed modem port, which is becoming obsolete, and installed some needier thing – SD port at least.
I must mention the heat and fan issue which has been solved in the highest standards. The fan with the ventilation area are at the back and even if you are playing a high quality game it runs pretty cool and does not emit much heat. It may be due to the fact that the earlier ThinkPad versions had parallel port, which has been replaced by additional vent, thus heat emission is very effective.
The Lenovo T60 warranty is 3 years, but it depends upon your distributor location. I haven't had any problems with a customer support service – I believe they are still good. Check those things, before you buy the notebook.
Overall, the model is worth buying, especially having in mind the durability and reliability. have always been the business professionals' choice, and they would certainly meet any office work demand and much more. Lenovo T60 Flex View screen, cool and quiet performance, outstanding battery life plus good information processing (processor and graphics card) are the Pros. The cons, however, come with a lack of Firewire and SD card slot as well as expensive price.

Google 3 Pack Update
Google just updated how people see local business listings when people view search results. Here is what you need to know.
Google 3 Pack
The 7 local listings that used to appear on the top has now been whittled down to 3 local business listings. This serious scale down has now been nicknamed the "Google 3 Pack" or "Google Snack Pack."
Exact business address are no longer included in the local listing section as part of the Google 3 Pack Update. The phone number of your business will not be visible with the preview listing, either; however, there will be a "Call" option still available on mobile devices.
How does this Google Update affect you? If your SEO of your business landed you as #4-7 of local listing results, you will no longer be seen at the top of Google results. The competition for top local listings just got more intense!
What To Do
If your business is no longer being shown as a top local listing due to the update, it may be time to improve your company's online marketing strategy.
You can improve your search engine optimization to get up to one of those top 3 local listings by implementing an online marketing strategy that balances directory marketing, content creation, search engine optimization, and social media engagement.

Raileigh loves to munch on dry cereal. However, you have to admit that dry cereal can get a bit boring after a while.
So, we recently changed how we snack on cereal. It's fun, it's easy, and it instantly changes your view of dry cereal…
Here's how you can do this, too!
- Round cereal (Cheerios, Fruit Loops, etc.)
- String (we used embroidery floss because that's what we had… almost anything will do. I DO NOT recommend yarn because your child will end up eating fuzz along with the cereal)
I just poured a small amount of cereal into a bowl for Raileigh. I cut the string to the appropriate length. Note about this– make sure to cut a piece that will be long enough to easily slide over your child's head… I learned that the hard way.
We started out with the new Cinnamon Cheerios, which are excellent, by the way! You could tie a piece of cereal to one of the string to keep the other cereal from falling off as your child strings it. However, I just held on end for Raileigh and she string the pieces on… of course, she also stopped occasionally to eat a few pieces. You can string on as many as you would like. When you have as many pieces of cereal on the string as you would like, simply tie it and hang it around your little one's neck.
Raileigh LOVES that she gets to eat her necklace. Not only are these great for home, but they are great on the go as well. Just string up a few extra necklaces to take with you. They are a great non-messy snack for the car, especially. We also took one to my sister's soccer game this past weekend, and Raileigh sat their contentedly eating her necklace.
Let me know if you have any fun and easy things that you do to liven up snack time!

Skip to comments.A COMMIE PRESIDENT AND THE TRAYVON TRAGEDY
Posted on 03/30/2012 11:21:05 AM PDT by SaveOurRepublicFromTyranny
To those whose assessment of individuals is not predicated upon what comes out of their mouths and the mouths of their surrogates, the truth is clear: President Obama is a communist, laboring with like-minded comrades to actualize a long-embraced communist agenda and their end game is fast approaching...
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death....
Those famous words have stronger meaning than ever for those who want the USA to survive this president..time to raise all the hell we can...scream at the congress, daily, non ending..
Do schools even teach why Nathan Hale said that anymore?
publik skoolz only care about churning out obedient tax-paying drones.
Thank Boehner & McConnell.....they are equally to blame. They not only do nothing, say nothing, they cave in every time.
Except, wasn't that Patrick Henry?
Or you could encourage everyone you know to vote him out. You know, its easier than the whole "death" thing.
and then they hung him twice...
just for spite.
"...their end game is fast approaching..."??? Dang, man...Which way are you facing? The "end game" is behind you, not "approaching".
Back in FR's earliest days, one of the classic Freeper patriots wrote an prophetic article under the title: "Something evil this way comes". Well...It came, overwhelmed the Nation, and is now permanent.
The tree of liberty has shriveled to a barren stump and would require an enormous amount of feeding to have even a remote chance of resuscitation.

BRUSSELS (AP) - The International Trade Union Confederation is pushing FIFA to press for changes in Qatari labor laws because it says the health of migrant workers would be in danger in the extreme heat while building facilities for the 2022 World Cup.
``If FIFA really were serious, then their power to hold the World Cup with decent work or to withdraw it would be enough for the Qataris to sit down and talk,'' she said.
FIFA said Thursday it was ``very concerned'' about reports ``regarding labor rights' abuses and the conditions for construction workers'' working on the 2022 World Cup project at Lusail City.
``FIFA will again get in contact with the Qatari authorities and the matter will be discussed at the Executive Committee meeting'' on Oct. 3-4, soccer's world governing body said in a statement.
Burrow wrote in a Sep. 20 letter to FIFA President Sepp Blatter that ``several hundred migrant construction workers die each year in Qatar'' where they often work in extreme heat. Burrow spoke of 1.2 million migrant workers in Qatar, many laboring in extreme heat for long hours, little pay and without legal protection.
In the interview, she said that the construction of stadiums, hotels and other facilities would add to the problem.
Without changes in the labor conditions, ``the minimum estimation, the very conservative estimation from our side is that 4,000 workers will die before a ball is kicked,'' she said.
The FIFA board session next week also could decide ``in principle'' that the 2022 tournament cannot be played in the Qatari summer, Blatter has suggested.
Burrow said FIFA had promised after a November 2011 meeting to do something about the labor conditions within six months.
``They failed,'' she said.
The ITUC is a global trade union group uniting 178 million workers in 156 countries.

Charter Street Cemetery, also known as the Old Burying Point, is the oldest recorded cemetery in Salem and the second oldest in the United States. It was first established in 1637; John Hathorne was interred there in 1717. Time has so eroded his grave that it is now embedded in concrete to preserve it against further deterioration, but it remains one of the most famous the cemetery contains and is a mainstay of Salem's enduringly popular witch tours. The winged skull that hovers over the epitaph may look like a grisly indictment but was in fact a ubiquitous symbol in early New England, representing at once the transitory nature of human life and the possibility of transcendence. The "stain" Hawthorne alludes to has been visually realized in recent years through the erection of Salem Witch Trials Tercentenary Memorial. Empty seats, each inscribed with the name of an accused witch together with the date and method of execution, are ranged in a circle. As repositories of infernal influence, the victims were of course not afforded a proper burial at the time of their death.

The Journey Continues, birthdays and things
When I say "the journey continues" I mean the one that began in Switzerland when Ulrich Huffstutter was born 27 May 1731. In a few days that will be 282 years ago. WOW. The glow from the candles on his cake must be visible from outer space. Just in time for this occasion a surprise birthday present arrived. Call it the fickle finger of fate or whatever but a descendant left a "Comment" with some family info on the website and Ray forwarded it to me. You could have knocked me over with a feather.
As the above photo shows Ulrich's Journey continues. Let me introduce you to the newest Daughter of Ulrich, Bonnie Wilson Preisler. Just like me she is a descendant of Susannah Huffstutter and we are second cousins. We have not seen or heard from each other for 65 years. That deserves another WOW.
Bonnie says she was fooling around on her computer and decided to Google her Dad's name. Whaa Laa what should pop up but The Huffstutter Family website with his family group sheet. Now this is something Ray and I love to hear since our purpose is to provide "all things Huffstutter" to the world at large. Bonnie noticed we did not have complete info on her family so sent a little comment about it. And there you have it. The journey had gone full circle back to Ulrich.
Now for the rest of the story. Bonnie and I were born in the same year, three months and a few miles apart. As far back as I can remember there has been a photo in the album my mother made of my childhood and on the back is noted "Connie and Bonnie 14 months". That cryptic memo means the picture was taken when I was 14 months old and Bonnie 1 year old. Making a quick phone call to my mom filled in the additional info that the photo was taken on Bonnie's first birthday. WOW and WOW. The journey had gone full circle back to me.
Bonnie and I have reconnected. We are friends on Facebook, Pinterest and "like" many of the same things. The journey continues.
Persistence pays
What a fall this has been. Two items I have been diligently hoping to acquire for my family tree files suddenly fell in my lap. First an "unrelated to me" researcher from IN located a tombstone in KY for my gr, gr, gr grandfather and photographed it for me. This unbelievable kind act was followed up a week or so later by a photo of the tombstone for another gr gr gr grandfather from a very remote cemetery. That photo was also shared by an "unrelated to me" person who risked all sorts of vines, weeds, poison ivy and snakes to acquire it. All of this generousness renews my faith in humanity and the basic goodness of people. Both tombstones I had been looking for since the 1970's. Yep, September was a landmark month for me!
Historians, what do they do really?
Trying to get a handle on the everyday lives of my ancestors it is easy draw conclusions about them based on the few scraps of "documents" that have survived in court houses and government filing cabinets. But is that the real story? How many spins can be deduced from those dry, yellowing pieces of paper? Here is a favorite quote that states succinctly how little we really know.
About "historians", family or otherwise:
"Their greatest crime is that they presume to know what happened, how things come about, when they have only what the past chose to leave behind-for the most part, they think what they are meant to think and it's a rare one that sees what really happened, behind the smoke screen of artifacts and paper." Diana Gabaldon, Dragonfly in Amber

NFL Cheerleaders :: Stewart Shining/SI
The whole NFL vs. NCAA football debate has been done to death. But Fan IQ figured out a way to make us pay attention to it today -- use cheerleaders. And if you need more of a sample, we have NFL cheerleaders here and college cheerleaders here. And Maxim.com does its part to help out, as does All Balls.

We have a secret to share. We know it's gonna turn a lot of you off and you'll probably stop reading Hot Clicks from now on, but we're just gonna say it -- We love Chris Berman. He's bashed throughout the World Wide Web, but we don't care. We like the corny nicknames, we think Primetime is the greatest studio show in the history of sports television and he reminds us of our youth. Sure, we could do without the "back, back, backs," but nobody's perfect. The other thing we love about Berman is the Swami. He was one of the first people to go television and actually acknowledge the spread while picking NFL games. So with that, we'd like to congratulate Berman on 30 years of the Swami.
Mrs. Davis, Sarah Palin :: AP
Yesterday, we discussed an e-mail we received from Mike, of Columbia, S.C., who said Sarah Palin looks like Mrs. Davis, the teacher/stripper from Varsity Blues. We mentioned that we couldn't find a photo from the movie, but, of course, you guys came through. Lenny, of Roanoke, Va., sent us this one. Bill Jentsch, of Bloomfield, N.J., and Jim Haron, of Toronto, passed along this link. And Lucas Nurmi, of Seattle, e-mailed another. We also got some more e-mails on the subject. Twayne, of St Louis, wrote, "Oh, come on man, that chick from Varsity Blues isn't even close to looking like Sarah Palin. Google Annie Potts, man. You remember, the red head from Ghostbusters. She could really be Palin's sister." Mike, of Girard, Ohio, said "Palin looks like the mom from Malcolm in the Middle." Don, of Cincinnati, said "I can't believe you haven't mentioned it yet, but the first person that popped into my head was Tina Fey. Look at this and this." Lastly, Brahsome.com chimed in with "Dude, everyone knows that Palin looks like Dr. Melfi."
A guy who's a dead ringer for Joba Chamberlain has been busted for impersonating the Yankees pitcher. And the culprit doesn't even sound too upset about getting arrested, judging by this quote: "It was joke that got out of hand. Obviously, I know I am not him. But for the 15 minutes of fame ... it is what it is."

Concentrating on Paris Junior College undergraduate admissions, for example, may give you additional focus in the admissions selection process. Check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, course registration deadlines, and college degree program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Paris Junior College.
As the admission's office must sift through many college application forms, your goal is to stand out in a good way. If you already have top grades and high SAT or ACT scores, you can still improve your application, given other factors such as talent in sports, the quality of your essay topic, and extracurricular activities. The admissions essay is gaining weight at selective colleges, but please be aware that on average, a typical college application only receives 25 minutes of reading time. Therefore, keep your application brief, and stick to the point when answering questions.
Admissions officers seek to learn how a given applicant thinks, what kind of person they are, and their level of intellectual promise. Many colleges are paying greater attention to a student's grades not only in core courses, but in AP classes and in honors courses as well. In fact, an ideal academic record is one of progressively better grades, in classes of increasing difficulty. It is optimal to try taking the hardest courses that are offered, and that the worst thing you can do in terms of getting into college is to drop a hard course just because you fear getting a low grade. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider University of Mount Olive cancellations for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
Really great! I love the way you did the pose and the Mask. really great picture overall..
If I should say something about the picture then you would have to brighten the cape abit.. when just looking at it, I can only see the feet and the belt with knives. Thetrousers and the torso are kinda "blacked out"
Otherwise really great work and it looks good!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Pretty neat!
Quite nice actually. I love how the colors match and yet they don't..
If I wanted to correct something in this picture. Then it would be the "NG" letters. The N looks a bit thin, and the G looks like it didn't get "twisted" enough...
You could try drawing it up with a pencil. If I should give you some advice that helped me then be self critical to a point where it isn't too much.. Think about how it looks, if the things will match and if you're unsure, then try to erase and draw it in some other way untill it looks right...
Love the colors. Love the way it's set up, really nice picture to look at! keep at it and you WILL get better :)
thanks alot man. i attempted with the pencil on the lines,everywhere there was a seperation of colors, there was pencil. it did'nt really work out though, i'm just the kind of person who doesnt want the limitations. thanks for the review, i'll use some of yer tips next time.

The chemotherapy scandal involving hospitals in Sydney has reached new heights. After the revelation of a shocking report, a cancer patient has reportedly come out in the open, accusing the hospital staffs for keeping her in the dark. She also criticized Health Minister Jillian Skinner's and called her response "bullshit".
The patient was being treated by Dr Kiran Phadke, who was suspended over incorrect recommendation of drug doses to his patients, resulting in their deaths. The patient, who's been suffering from multiple myeloma, said that she was notified on Monday via a vague phone call by a staff member from Sutherland and St George Hospital.
The lady was informed that Ms Skinner would be making an announcement concerning an investigation into alleged treatment errors by the oncologist and haematologist, she told The Sydney Morning Herald. She was told that the investigation was still in process, therefore no information regarding the same will be revealed.
According to a report presented by the New South Wales Health Department, more than 100 head and neck cancer patients were given low doses of chemotherapy drugs by Dr. John Grygiel. The report further claimed that three hematology patients at St George and Sutherland hospitals suffered adverse effects due to wrong chemotherapy treatment.
Following the revelations, Jillian Skinner has been under tremendous pressure. In a recent press conference, she said, "I will never reveal anything to the media until I feel confident there's has been proper, professional analysis of the potential patients affected and then that those patients are informed." On the other hand, the patient criticized Skinner, calling her statements "bullshit".
Reports claim, the State Opposition has called for Skinner's resignation over the recent controversy. Opposition Leader Luke Foley slammed Skinner for putting the patients' lives in danger due to wrong treatment. "There's been a culture of cover up and protection for hospital administrators rather than a fierce desire from the minister to fight for patients' safety and health," he told News.com.au.

Comment Re:Great! (Score 1) 327
If they raise $100K, that's starting to get into the range of reasonable contracts to have great orchestras record one or two symphonies with named-above-the-orchestra conductors. Bear in mind that even a small chamber orchestra (sufficient for Beethoven, but not going to cut it for later romantic era works) is going to have at least 35 musicians. Each of them will have to be paid for both rehearsal time (alone and as a group) and actual recording sessions. On top of that, a recording session isn't just a play-it-once-and-we're done affair. A forty-minute symphony will take at the very least six hours in the studio, and frequently if will take more than that (Glenn Gould was notorious for recording less than ten minutes of final product per day, but that's an extreme case). Without getting into technical personal, we're talking many hundreds of man-hours per symphony. Add to that studio costs, instrument transportation, engineers, and all the other costs of recording, we're talking over $50K just paying union rates. Bear in mind that this is just for one symphony and for basic performers at union scales. Big names will carry correspondingly higher costs.

'That he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also, and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised'. (Rom 4:11b-12)
Paul looked at the great father of our faith Abraham and he proved from scriptures that he was not justified by works but by faith (Gen 15:5-6)
God had promised Abraham that he would be a father of multitude of nations. Not just Israel but everyone who had faith in Abrahams seed (The Lord Jesus).
As a result, we don't have to be circumcised we are descendants of Abraham by faith.
Abraham was made father of 2 separate groups of people
(a) The father of the circumcised (b)The father of all those who also follow in the steps of the faith of Abraham that he had whilst he was uncircumcised.
The essential condition is faith. God reached humans in two different ways:
On the basis of the faith that caused them to be circumcised (circumcision is the expression of their faith) and the basis of faith in Jesus.
This faith does not depend on some external ordinances.
Righteousness was credited to Abraham's faith. Does that mean that he did not make mistakes? No
Abraham's mistakes
Gen16 Abraham took the initiative out of God's hands when he married Sarah's maid at her advice.
In the life of faith God takes the initiative.
Gen20- he told a lie about Sarah.
God did not approve of these two aspects of Abrahams conduct but righteousness was reckoned to him by his faith.
As long as we continue to believe, our righteousness will still be reckoned to us by our faith.
In Luke 22:31-32 Jesus prayed that Peter's faith will not fail despite all the tests that he would go through.
Tip: In spite of tremendous test, don't give up your faith – continue believing.
Abraham became more than just a figure he became a pattern. To be truly his descendants we have to walk in his steps of faith as the bible commands in Rom4:12
Let's look at these steps:
The steps of the faith of Abraham (pattern of Abraham's faith)
1. Abraham accepted Gods promise by faith alone without evidence. He believed in hope even when there was no hope.
God called Abraham a father of nations.
When God calls something a thing that's what it is.
God's calling comes before the physical reality. It is by faith.
2. He recognised that he was incapable of producing the promised result.
3. He focussed without waving on the promise and this was reckoned to him as righteousness.
As a result him and Sarah both received supernatural life in their bodies. The promise was fulfilled and God was glorified. (Rom. 4:20)
Grace begins where human ability ends. God moves us beyond our own ability into the realm of grace by faith. Hebrew 10:38 The just shall live by faith.

Love of adventure lives on: lessons from an indie game designer
First posted on 01 February 2012. Last updated on 01 February 2012.
|Captain Zaron and the Trials of Doom is a browser based fantasy adventure game developed by Studio Meristem.
Captain Zaron and the Trials of Doom
Captain Zaron and the Trials of Doom is a full-length point-and-click fantasy adventure game created by indie game designer Peter Lemiszki of Studio Meristem. The game tells the story of the fearless mercenary and pirate Captain Zaron, who must save his sister Elsa from being sacrificed by an evil tyrant named Mulduralm in an ancient ritual that will herald an apocalyptic end to the entire kingdom. The game contains over 150 locations and features artworks reminiscent of classic LucasArts and Sierra adventure games. The game can be played in any modern web browser with Adobe Flash.
For more information, visit Studio Meristem.
There has been very little difference of opinion amongst both adventure game enthusiasts and adventure game designers as to what is causing the current decline of the genre. Famed game designer Ron Gilbert saw the writing on the wall back in 1989, when he created a list of game design pitfalls in an essay subtly titled Why Adventure Games Suck (1). Sadly, his conclusions about the genre still ring true today. The lesson is simple—frustration and entertainment do not mix.
Yet, an obvious problem does not always imply an obvious solution. After all, if adventure game designers set out to ensure that the player will ever have the slightest trouble solving any of the game's puzzles, the result will be an incredibly boring and unsatisfying game offering the player absolutely no sense of triumph. A game may have dazzling art and a fantastic story, but if it never gives the player a problem to solve or a challenge to overcome, then the player is going to miss out on a huge part of the gaming experience.
Instead, good game designers intend for the player to have to stop and think—but only briefly. If a player is only stumped for a few moments when faced with a puzzle, then the designers have succeeded in offering the player the best of both worlds—the joy of problem solving, but without the frustration of getting stuck.
Lessons in game design
As a game designer, this was my goal when I began designing Captain Zaron and the Trials of Doom, a browser based game (Adobe Flash required) that is a fantasy point-and-click adventure inspired by some of the adventure games I had played and loved when growing up. I wanted to mix what I considered to be the greatest strengths of classic adventure game series, such as Quest for Glory, King's Quest, The Legend of Kyrandia, and Zork, into a modern adaptation that would attract veteran gamers of the genre but would also find an audience amongst younger gamers who might be unfamiliar with the games that inspired it. After years of work, I finally completed the project and released the game publicly for free in November 2011. The response to my game far exceeded my expectations. Soon after the game was released, I began receiving passionately written emails sent from players all over the world and of all different ages giving me their reactions to my game.
After reading all of these emails, I arrived at a pair of important conclusions:
The demand for adventure games is alive and well, all across the globe.
The intense dislike of getting stuck in an adventure game is equally alive and well, all across the globe.
What struck me most about these emails was just how starved these gamers were for adventure games, the amount of time they had invested in playing mine, and their determination to finish it. The experience convinced me that the adventure game genre could not only survive but could even undergo a renaissance if game developers could learn how to avoid certain pitfalls that had continued to plague the genre.
While creating my game, I learned a trio of lessons:
Lesson 1: every puzzle is 1.5 times as hard as you think it is
I studied screenwriting in college. However, it was not until I joined a writer's group after graduation and began writing some scripts in workshops that I realized how difficult it often was to get outside of my own head when brainstorming. I found this concept to apply equally to both writing and game design.
Your ideas may seem intuitive to you because you first come up with them. Yet, not everybody is going to be on the same wavelength. Game designers must learn how to put themselves fully in the player's shoes in order to predict how the player will react to a puzzle. If you believe that a puzzle is a bit too easy when designing it, then the puzzle is probably just right for the player.
Lesson 2: text is your friend
Amongst the most pleasurable surprises for me while programming my game was realizing just how much I enjoyed writing the text.
In fact, I have come to believe that text is the most undervalued asset in adventure game design. The stage may be the meeting place of all the arts (as said by Oscar Wilde), but adventure games add another element into the mix—the written word. It comes as absolutely no surprise to me that legendary game designer Roberta Williams has gone on to become a novelist—the similarities between reading literature and playing a text adventure are obvious. While screenwriters must develop an entirely different set of skills than novelists, game designers have the strengths of both mediums at their disposal. Sadly, it seems like a lot of modern adventure games are veering away from having the player read any text at all, which (I believe) is a step in the wrong direction.
Lesson 3: reflex based challenges need to be moderated
In an attempt to include more variety of gameplay, I designed a few timed swordfights into the game. This ended up aggravating a lot of players. In the days after the game was released, I received many emails from gamers who had spent hours playing my game, only to reach the sword fighting scene (fairly late in the game) and be unable to get past it. A particular fan even wrote me a lengthy essay explaining why the sword fighting was incompatible with a "bona fide" adventure game. It soon became clear that I would have to program a new version of the game that would allow the player to moderate the difficulty of the sword fighting, a feature that I should have implemented at the outset. The irony for me was I thought that, by including sword fighting in the game, I was actually helping to create a following for the game by attracting gamers who were more accustomed to a lot of action play.
Instead, a substantial part of the adventure gaming audience has a taste for the genre precisely because the gameplay does not require having quick reflexes. Rather, adventure game fans enjoy being able to proceed through the game at their own pace and of their own accord.
Final thoughts
I hope that those of you who are developing your own adventure games have found these lessons to be informative. Of course, the most important lesson is that, when it comes to designing your game, the opinion which truly matters the most is your own. It takes a very long time to illustrate and program an adventure game, and you will never reach the finish line if you not love your creation every step of the way.

|While histopathology of excised tissue remains the gold standard for diagnosis, several new, non-invasive diagnostic techniques are being developed. They rely on physical and biochemical changes that precede and mirror malignant change within tissue. The basic principle involves simple optical techniques of tissue interrogation. Their accuracy, expressed as sensitivity and specificity, are reported in a number of studies suggests that they have a potential for cost effective, real-time, in situ diagnosis. We review the Third Scientific Meeting of the Head and Neck Optical Diagnostics Society held in Congress Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria on the 11th May 2011. For the first time the HNODS Annual Scientific Meeting was held in association with the International Photodynamic Association (IPA) and the European Platform for Photodynamic Medicine (EPPM). The aim was to enhance the interdisciplinary aspects of optical diagnostics and other photodynamic applications. The meeting included 2 sections: oral communication sessions running in parallel to the IPA programme and poster presentation sessions combined with the IPA and EPPM posters sessions. © 2011 Jerjes et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
