The MoB
Trip Start
Sep 08, 2011
Trip End
Jan 08, 2012
Where I stayed
I went to my failsafe; new town/city? Go to the visitors' centre, young man! It's always a reliable source of information. Except in this case. Granted, I would only be in Brisbane for two more days (including today), but the best they could come up with was a tourist bus – the hop on/off variety. I looked at the woman as if she'd lost her marbles, "Have you seen the weather outside???" I wanted to scream at her, but being a polite Brit, what actually came out of my mouth was more like, "Hmm, sounds interesting, but today might not be the best day for it." She nodded in agreement and then went on to suggest the Museum of Brisbane. Now that was more like it! Museums were made for rainy days, and, tellingly, this would be my first visit to an Australian one. That's not to say that it hadn't rained in all my time here, it's just that there was either something else on or I was stuck in the middle of nowhere.
So, I was all geared up to visit the MoB. I walked up and down the street it was supposed to be in (in the rain, I might add), but I couldn't find it. I asked a couple of people and they didn't know where it was either. What to do? Quite by chance I looked in the entrance of an office block and there it was. So, to clarify, the MoB didn't have its own building, instead it was housed in an office block. I'd walked past it at least two or three times; that's how non-descript it was.
Things went from bad to worse; there was an exhibition on called, Cabinet of Curiosities, with knick-knacks about life in Brisbane over the years. Actually, it wasn't an exhibition, it was the exhibition. What took me aback was that the museum was one room – and not even a big room at that. In it were housed 40 exhibits, ranging from the odd (Peter the stuffed dog had to the most unusual. A murderer, his truck and his dog, Peter, were identified at the scene of the murder by eyewitnesses. Unfortunately, Peter died before the trial and so the prosecution exhumed his body, had him stuffed and presented at trial, surprising the defendant so much that he admitted to owning the dog and thereby implicating himself in the murder) to the downright banal (a reproduction of the Queensland's wedding gift to Queen Elizabeth on her marriage to Prince Phillip – 500 cases of tinned pineapples). I tried to take my time looking around, looking at all the exhibits, reading all the information about them, but I still finished in under an hour.
Naturally, it was still raining when I left the MoB, so I stopped for a coffee somewhere and grabbed a paper. Now, the NT News (the local paper from the Northern Territory) had been a consistent source of amusement, it was like a legitimate version of Viz. How I laughed at stories of gay pride for dogs; croc insurance for Barak Obama and even the stir that was caused all over the territory when it was suggested that they might have to give up their second (or even third) fridges (packed solid with alcohol) to save the environment – never had I seen a comments column run and run with such vehemence and invective aimed at the 'treehuggers'. However, what was becoming clear was that this was not a phenomenon limited to the territory. It is true that the stories may not be as colourful as in the NT News, but there is a style of reporting that is distinctive. After all, where else would you see in print a story about a crocodile attack in Northern Queensland and the prime suspect is described as "that big black bastard of a croc...on Bushy Island"? Those were three words I'd never have expected to see in a newspaper describing a crocodile or anything else.
Having spent more time reading the paper than in the museum, there really wasn't much else to do on a rainy afternoon/evening in Brisbane, so I went back to the hostel to hole up in my room for the rest of the day/night.

Outdoor classical music festivals were not always as popular and commonplace as they are today.
In fact, the granddaddy of them all is Tanglewood — named after writer Nathaniel Hawthorne's nearby cottage — that is held in Massachusetts in the Berkshire Mountains by the venerable Boston Symphony Orchestra. BSO conductor Serge Koussevitsky started it with an all-Beethoven program, which included the beloved and appropriate Symphony No. 6 "Pastorale," in 1937.
How fitting, then, was it for conductor Christoph von Dohnanyi (below, in a photo by Hilary Scott for the Boston Symphony) on July 6 to re-create that inaugural all-Beethoven program for the opening on July 6 of Tanglewood's 75th anniversary season. (You can hear it via streaming from a link of the NPR blog listed below.)
Another gala concert, performed last night, July 14, to mark the 75th anniversary of Tanglewood — with three orchestras, five conductors and five guest soloists including cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter and pianist Emanuel Ax — was videotaped for later broadcast on PBS as part of its "Great Performances" series.
(The all-Beethoven concert was NOT taped for TV broadcast, contrary to what it first said here. I apologize for the error.) The gala concert is slated to air at 8 p.m. EDT on Friday, August 10, though you should check your local PBS listings and schedules. (In Wisconsin, the CDT time is 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. — a terrible time that guarantees almost no audience! So much for Wisconsin Public Television's much-hyped "Summer of the Arts" programming.) You will also be able to also stream both the July 6 all-Beethoven concert and the July 14 gala concert via Wisconsin Public Radio or via WGBH in Boston, below:
All of WGBH' Boston Symphony on-demand content can be found at:
In addition, it featured some music by composer John Harbison, who is also known to Madison-area fans as the co-director of the upcoming Token Creek Chamber Music Festival.
Here is a link to the story about Tanglewood's great history and great music now located on NPR's "Deceptive Cadence" blog. Enjoy!
Also be sure to check out some extra links, including a photo essay of 75 years at Tanglewood, at the bottom of the story.

Jacob – glad to see this post, but you have conflated two events! Your headline is inaccurate. It was the July 14 concert – with 3?orchestras, 5 conductors, and 5 soloists (including Yo-Yo Ma, Emanuel Ax, and Anne-Sophie Mutter) that will be telecast on PBS in Aug. The July 6 opening concert – a recreation of the Opening Night – was broadcast live on the radio and webcast as well on NPR Music – the link is on the site. Both the July 6 and July 14 concerts will also be available for national and international broadcast from my station, WGBH- including to Wisconsin public radio.

Here are some one-of-a-kind outfits that I made for my granddaughter's 18-inch doll for Christmas. These outfits are not for sale, but feel free to use these ideas and instructions for unique clothing of your own. Each of these outfits was made from something I found really cheap at a thrift store.
Boxer shorts for 25c contained just enough fabric for these pj's. The slippers are made from a scrap of fur that I found in my fabric stash. |
This gown is made from a pillow sham. I cut it out bishop style and sewed a casing for elastic at the neck. |

Jesus' resurrection after his death is the ultimate and defining proof of Jesus' divinity. Just about everyone knows the story, which is summarized in the Apostles' Creed. Jesus was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
There is only one way for Jesus to prove that he rose from the dead. He had to appear to people. Therefore, several different places in the Bible describe Jesus' appearances after his death:
Being like Paul
When we look at these Bible passages, there is a question that comes to mind -- why did Jesus stop making these appearances? Why isn't Jesus appearing today?
It really is odd. Obviously Paul benefitted from a personal meeting with the resurrected Christ. Because of the personal visit, Paul could see for himself the truth of the resurrection, and he could ask Jesus questions.
So... Why doesn't Jesus appear to everyone and prove that he is resurrected, just like he appeared to Paul? There is nothing to stop Jesus from materializing in your kitchen tonight to have a personal chat with you. And if you think about it, Jesus really does need to appear to each of us. If Paul needed a personal visit from Jesus to know that Jesus was resurrected, then why wouldn't you?
It is an important question for the following reasons:
Praying to Jesus
What if we pray to Jesus like this: "Dear Jesus, please appear to us, as you did to Paul and the 500 brethren, so that we can see the evidence of your resurrection. In your name we pray, amen." Here is what Jesus has promised us in the Bible:
Matthew 7:7 Jesus says:
Isn't it odd that Nothing happens, given the fact that Jesus promises us that something will happen? Isn't it odd that nothing happens when, supposedly, Jesus is right here with us already, and materialization would be trivial for him?
We have created an unambiguous situation where coincidence cannot "answer" the prayer. The only way for this prayer to be answered is for Jesus to actually, unambiguously, materialize.
As you think about this, you will realize that Paul's story in the Bible must be false. Simply look at Paul's story like any judge in a courtroom would. What Paul's story in 1 Cor 15 is suggesting is entirely unprecedented - a man dead three days with mortal wounds came back to life. Yet:
Given this evidence, rational people would automatically conclude that Paul's story in the Bible is untrue. There is zero evidence to support Paul's story, zero reason to believe it, a motive to lie and plenty of alternative explanations. There is also the fact that much of the rest of the Bible contains provably false stories. Plus the fact that it would be trivial for Jesus to provide the evidence that Paul needs to confirm his story by reappearing on earth. Add to that the fact that Jesus has promised to answer our prayers but refuses to materialize when we pray to him. The only thing to do is to reject Paul's story. Every bit of evidence points to the fact that the resurrection story is a myth, nothing more.
Given that the resurrection story is clearly a myth, it means that Jesus (if he existed at all) was a normal human being, not God. The resurrection clearly did not happen.
And with that, we can see that God himself is imaginary. If God actually did exist and was playing any role whatsoever on this planet, there is no way that he would allow an imposter like Jesus.
Many believers will try to rationalize Jesus' absence by pointing to his famous statement in the Bible, "Happy are those who have not seen yet still believe."
If you think about this statement, what you realize is that it creates the perfect cover for a scam. Let's say you are Jesus, you are a normal human being, you realize that you are going to die and you want to cover for this fact. Here is what you would say: "Happy are those who have not seen yet still believe." What you are saying is, "I exist, and the way I am going to show you that I exist is by not showing that I exist." For every other object in the universe, the way that we know it exists is because the object provides evidence of its existence. If there is no evidence for an object's existence, we call it imaginary (e.g. Leprechauns). But with Jesus, the lack of evidence is turned into evidence. Quite clever, but obviously a scam.
You simply need to look at the evidence and accept what it is telling you. If the resurrection were true, then Jesus would be answering prayers as he promises in the Bible. He would also appear when people pray to see him. The fact is, as we saw here and here, there is definitive evidence that prayer accomplishes nothing. It is also obvious that Jesus is not appearing on earth today.
While we are on the topic of the resurrection, have you ever thought about how odd the whole crucifixion story is? Imagine the all-powerful, all-knowing creator of the universe sitting on his magnificent throne in heaven. He looks down onto earth and says to himself:
Since I am all-knowing I know exactly what the humans are doing and I understand exactly why they commit each sin. Since I created the humans in my own image and personally programmed human nature into their brains, I am the direct author of all of this sin. The instant I created them I knew exactly what would happen with every single human being right down to the nanosecond level for all eternity. If I didn't like how it was going to turn out, I could have simply changed them when I created them. And since I am perfect, I know exactly what I am doing. But ignore all that. I hate all these people doing exactly what I perfectly designed them to do and knew they would do from the moment I created them...
So here's what I am going to do. I will artificially inseminate a virgin. She will give birth to an incarnated version of me. The humans will eventually crucify and kill the incarnated me. That will, finally, make me happy. Yes, sending mself down and having the humans crucify me -- that will satisfy me. I feel much better now.

I've been a naughty pirate...
so Comcast cut off my internet because I downloaded 1 episode of Always Sunny in Philadelphia...no real warning or anything they just booted me
I don't really care, I just switched to Pavlov and it is cheaper anyways, but I have a few questions... I can't live without Homeland. Is Homeland on Hulu Plus? Someone tell me about Hulu Plus. Oh and I've also been downloading Homeland from public locations using free wifi...I realize a lot of people on this site hate pirating and that's understandable but I simply don't have cable right now so shoot me... what's the risk in downloading from public wifi say at a hotel or at a Panera etc.???

Results 1 to 2 of 2
This is great but I would be grateful if you could let me know if this can be automated.
I have a program that writes to a file, however when I build the project it deletes the dir that stores the file. So then the run fails because there is no dir, I then have to create the folder manually then run the application again within netbeans and everything works.
I suppose my question is there a way to get round this.
At the moment I have a seperate application that I run alongside my other 1 so it looks a little untidy.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

CNN Anchor Likens Spanking Kids To Training Dogs: 'You Have To Teach Who's In Control' (VIDEO)
Lemon took issue with his colleague Chris Cuomo, who argued that research clearly shows that spanking children is not effective discipline.
He told Cuomo that his parents used corporal punishment on him and he, in turn, employed similar methods on his pet.
"Listen, I went to training — I hate to do this — with my dog, and fear is the same thing," Lemon said. "You have to teach who's in control."
"It doesn't matter whether it's fear or what have you, I'm saying this, because it stops you from doing it," he added.
Lemon eventually admitted that the child abuse allegations against Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson have caused him to "evolve" on the matter; he just doesn't think spanking should be completely taken off the table.
The anchor said Peterson's alleged abuse has also prompted him to examine the historical nature of the issue.
"Especially for me as an African-American, because the question is where did you learn that from? Was that learned from the slave master? Getting the switch? Being beaten?" Lemon asked.
That point left Cuomo and CNN's Alisyn Camerota a bit confused.
"How is that a rationale?" Cuomo said. "Help me with this. Is this white man's ignorance? I keep hearing this. Well, maybe it was passed down from slave culture. Why would that be a rationale to continue a practice like this? Isn't that the last thing you would want to continue?"
"Because Chris, the slaves were beaten and some people had to go and get the whip," Lemon responded.

Density of some titanium-bearing silicate liquids and the compositional dependence of the partial molar volume of TiO2
- Authors
- Publication Date
- Source
- Legacy
- Keywords
The densities of thirteen silicate liquids along the Na2SiO3-TiO2 and CaSiO3-TiO2 joins and six other titanium-bearing silicate liquids of the general formula TiSiO5 (where X = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Ca, Sr, Ba) have been measured in equilibrium with air using the double Pt bob Archimedean method. The Na2SiO3-TiO2 join was investigated from 10–50 mole% TiO2 in the temperature range 1000–1150°C whereas the CaSiO3-TiO2 join was investigated from 10–80 mole% TiO2 in the temperature range of 1400–1625°C. Density increases with TiO2 content along both joins. Partial molar volumes of the binary endmembers, Na2SiO3 and CaSiO3, and of TiO2 have been computed. The partial molar volume of Na2SiO3 agrees well with that determined by Bockris et al. (1955). The partial molar volume of CaSiO3 is in disagreement with that of Tomlinson et al. (1958). The partial molar volume of TiO2 derived from a linear fit to the Na2SiO3-TiO2 join is 27.6(3) cm3/mole at 1150°C. The partial molar volume of TiO2 derived from linear extrapolation of the CaSiO3-TiO2 data to TiO2 at 1600°C is 24.3(4) cm3/mole. Comparison of the partial molar volume data from these binary joins with TiO2 liquid density data (Dingwell, 1991) requires the existence of a large positive excess volume in the Na2SiO3-TiO2 system at 1150°C.

InGenuity Cozy Coo Sway Seat & Giveaway!
Most babies seem to like the gentle rocking motion especially since it mimics being inside the womb. Kenzie had a swing but it was rarely used mainly because of the bulk and battery drainage. I was excited to receive the InGenuity Cozy Coo Sway Seat in Coco Cafe Fashion for Mason because not only was it supposed to give him a gentle rocking motion, it wasn't a space hog in our condo (we have yet to have an offer accepted on a house at this time).
When I took the parts out of the box and started putting it together in my huge pregnant state, I found it surprisingly quick to assemble minus one bar which fought me haha. The seat itself is very plush and the infant bolster is removable. There are 3 adjustable recline positions so your baby will find comfort. Just push the button and lift up/down for adjustment. The colors are neutral and will be great for a girl or a boy. The design is also very aesthetically pleasing so it doesn't shout "baby item" in your living room (or wherever you decided to place it).
As I've mentioned above, I was excited about the size and it really does deliver in that it is about 30% smaller than the full-size swing of Kenzie's. It's rather sleek and compact. One of the best features of this Sway Seat is that one can plug it in or use batteries (4 D)- definitely saves you $ in the long run. It also holds infants up to 25 pounds so technically Kenzie can go in it (she has definitely asked several times) but I don't let her.
The mobile above the seat resembles a carousel with whimsical plush animals attached. Mason likes to look up at them. The side-to-side motion is very comforting but I think it may be a little too fast for Mason right now since he's not yet 8 lbs. He seems to like sitting in it without it moving at the moment. However, when he does gain weight the unique swivel motion will be great because the speed actually adapts to your baby's body weight and maintains multiple speeds even as they grow. There is also a vibration option as well as 11 calming melodies and nature sound options. The Sway Seat can be put on a timer at intervals of 30, 45 and 60 minutes! I love this feature as you will know how long baby has been in there.
The swing motion is definitely quiet and doesn't disturb Mason (or the rest of the family). It blends in seamlessly into our home and provides a cozy place for him to chill (and gives me a little break). All in all - this Sway Seat is sturdy and gives me comfort in knowing that Mason is safe and secure! Check out my mini vid clip of him enjoying himself.

I'd also like the InGenuity™ SleepEasy™ Playard
lauren.uda(at)gmail(dot)com I would love to have the play yard. Actually, we had one for our baby girl and it was perfect! Unfortunately, my husband dropped some of his heavy equipment on it and bent it. Not at all a defect of the product or a testament to its strength, nothing would have stood up against this accident. LOL. Since we are trying for baby #3 I was planning to buy another one of these play yards again. Absolutely loved the features and the price!

This Saturday, people around the world will play their favorite games with friends, and help sick children in the process. November 2nd is the fifth annual Extra Life fundraiser, and it's not too late for you to get involved!
Extra Life was founded in 2008 as a 24-hour gaming marathon, but today participants can play as few or as many games as they want --they just have to ask their friends and family to sponsor the fun. All the money raised goes to children's hospitals; over the last five years, Extra Life participants have raised more than $4 million dollars that helps save kids lives.
They'll be helped by several major game companies too, including Dungeons & Dragons publisher Wizards of the Coast. Members of the D&D team including Greg Bilsland, Mike Mearls, James Wyatt and Rodney Thompson will participate in a 25-hour live D&D game marathon; you can sponsor their efforts here, and watch the action on the D&D Twitch channel.
For their part, Twitch is designating a spot on its homepage to serve as a directory to Extra Life 2013, helping visitors easily find broadcasters who are raising funds for the event. To date, according to Twitch, more than 4,500 Twitch broadcasters have signed up to support Extra Life 2013, and that number is expected to double by November 2. On Thursday, the company said its community has already raised more than $8 million for various charity initiatives.
Registration and sponsorship for Extra Life 2013 is still open now; to learn more or sign yourself up, go to Extra-Life.org.

GAINES, REUBEN REID (1836–1914). Reuben Reid Gaines, lawyer and state Supreme Court justice, was born on October 30, 1836, in Sumter County, Alabama, the son of Joab and Lucinda (McDavid) Gaines. His father was a large slaveholder, and he had above-average educational opportunities. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Alabama in 1855, studied law briefly at William and Mary College, and graduated from Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee, with a law degree in 1857. He practiced law in Alabama from 1858 to 1861. On March 30, 1859, he married Louisa Shortridge at Montevallo, Alabama, and they had one daughter, born in 1873.
Gaines entered the Confederate Army soon after the outbreak of the Civil War and served with Alabama units throughout the war. He surrendered as part of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's army in May 1865. In 1866 he and his wife moved to Clarksville, Texas, where he entered law practice with Benjamin H. Epperson and became active in the Democratic party, which he served as a member of the platform committee at the state convention in 1873. At the first elections held under the Constitution of 1876, Gaines was elected district judge of the Sixth Judicial District, in North Texas. He served on the bench until 1884, when he retired to practice law in Paris, Texas.
In November 1886 Governor John Ireland appointed him to an unexpired term as associate justice of the Texas Supreme Court. He won election as a Democrat to the court for a regular six-year term in 1888 and was reelected in 1894. At the death of John W. Stayton in 1894, Gaines was appointed chief justice. He was reelected in 1900 and 1906 and so held the position until 1911. During his long tenure on the court he wrote hundreds of opinions affecting Texas during the years of transition from nineteenth-century agrarian conditions to the much more complex social and economic life of the twentieth century. He became noted for avoiding partisan politics and was said never to have made a political speech on behalf of himself or anyone else.
Gaines retired from the court on January 5, 1911, in poor health. He lived at the Driskill Hotel in Austin until his death, from complications following a stroke, on October 13, 1914. His wife and daughter survived him.

This morning I was sitting in my cubicle for only a few minutes, perusing the New York Times website hoping for some early morning stimulation from the wit and wisdom of Frank Rich or one of his esteemed colleagues, when Steve in the next cubicle yelled out.
"Hey, you wanna see some cameltoe?"
Is 6:50 AM a little early for porn? lol Ouch, I just hurt myself.
As I bounded out of my chair, my mind raced. Porn at work? It's not only a no-no, it's an impossibility. Our internet access is so restricted that we can't visit yahoo because it's a "web community" site.
When I finally got to Steve's cubicle, out of breath, face flushed, I mean come on it's almost 5 feet away, I saw this:
It's LoHud.com, the internet home of the Journal News, a Gannett Co. Inc. newspaper serving Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties in New York. The Pulitizer prize winning Journal staff did a hard hitting investigation into the hot babes lounging on the beach over the weekend. Why am I reading the Times?
Oh yeah, here's the close up of the camel toe because I care about my reader (you know who you are).
There is nothing like the newspaper and the morning's first cup of coffee.

Comment | Thank you for your prompt response, your advice was easy to understand and very logical, even for a layperson. I agree that to pursue this legally for damages makes no sense, small claims court and/or reporting him to the dental board makes more sense since my goal is to recuperate a partial refund (for metal braces) and ensure that dentists taking on orthodontic work refer cases that are beyond the scope of their practice. I just wanted to know whether I had a leg to stand on here. Thank you again. |

Flash Deal
FIFA 15 brings football to life in stunning detail so fans can experience the emotion of the sport like never before. Witness the intensity of crowds chanting and cheering like on match day, and listen to commentators guide fans through the story of the game with Dynamic Match Presentation. For the first time ever, all 22 players on the pitch are connected with Emotional Intelligence – now players will react to opponents and teammates within the context, and relative to the narrative of the match. Next Generation Visuals put fans on Living Pitches with grass that wears and tears as the match progresses. Authentic Player Visuals make players lean, athletic, and true to their real-life appearance. Player Control heightens the responsiveness of player movement, gives athletes more control and personality on the ball, and makes Man-to-Man Battles more rewarding than ever before. Football is the greatest drama on earth and FIFA 15 puts fans center stage, allowing them to feel the emotion and intensity of the world's greatest sport.
Emotion & Intensity
Emotional Intelligence — For the first time ever, FIFA 15 models the emotions of all 22 players on the pitch, giving fans a chance to experience first-hand the attitudes and personalities of the world's best football players during a match. Players now recognize situations that trigger an emotional response and react naturally based on the game context. For example, a player that is being repeatedly fouled by an opponent could confront that opponent depending on the severity of the challenge and context of the competition. Players will respond authentically with new reactions to decisions, bad tackles, missed chances, goals, and other pivotal moments throughout the game. There are over 600 potential emotional reactions that could play out over the course of a game.
Dynamic Match Presentation — Match Day will feel more dynamic and alive than ever before – immersing you in the match action and never taking you out of the moment. With region specific behaviors, crowds will now be distinguished by cheers and chants designated to their club, league, country, or continent. Fans at Anfield in Liverpool feel and act differently than the fans at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires. Commentators will mention specific fan behavior triggered by unique fan moments like the Poznan or club songs. New Bench Reactions, 10 Player Goal Celebrations, ball boy animations, and contextual commentary will keep FIFA 15 fans engaged in the story of the match.
Unrivalled Intelligence
Team Tactics — Teams will now have contextual awareness of the game and will dynamically adjust their tactics according to the situation. For example, your opponent could be leading by a goal in the 88th minute and decide to hold the ball in the corner in an attempt to run down the clock. The end result is a more humanlike opponent that takes more risks when trailing, and potentially a more conservative approach when leading. Park the Bus, In the Mixer, and Time Wasting are just some of the Team Tactics fans will recognize in FIFA 15.
Incredible Visuals
Authentic Player Visuals — The FIFA 15 development team created the Next Generation football player – ensuring players appear true to their physical form. An all-new physically-based rendering lighting system changes the way players look, ensuring users are able to see a level of detail in players' faces which hasn't been possible before. New body rigging and character models make players feel powerful and athletic, while kits move realistically and react with the environment becoming dirty with mud and grass as the match unfolds.
Living Pitch — Pitches will never be the same. Slide tackles and boot marks are now visible on the pitch, and as the match progresses, the playing surface becomes increasingly weathered just as it would in a real football match. Fans playing in rain or wet weather will notice mud and debris on the pitch. Corner flag physics, goal frames that shake, and animated LED ad boards are just some of the new details that bring FIFA 15 to life.
Player Control
Agility & Control — FIFA 15 adds an all new level of responsiveness and control. Run Touch Dribbling allows players to better keep the ball under control in a sprint and in close-touch situations, giving personality to the most recognized players in the world. Leo Messi will dribble and move like he does in real life. Updated player biomechanics means that players will now react and move with balance and closer control when in possession of the ball. More precise steps and turns at low speed, and closer control at high speeds give fans more control and increased mobility when commanding players on the pitch.
Man-to-Man Battles — Dispossessing your opponent in FIFA 15 is more rewarding and physical than ever before. Players use Full-Body Defending to win possession and keep it. Possession Tackles will reward great defending, helping players keep the ball close to their feet when a challenge is won. New shoulder barges, push/pull mechanics, and big fall physics allow fans to feel the battle; shirt pulling is also visible thanks to new character visuals and improved cloth technology.
Correct Contacts — Physically Correct Contacts revolutionizes the way the football interacts with the players and their environment. Every dribble, touch, pass, shot, and deflection moves corresponding to the spin of the ball in relation to the position of the body part or object that it connects with – this gives the football accurate spin, curl, and movement, as well as varied trajectories. The movement of the ball in FIFA 15 changes the game.
Set Piece Control – FIFA 15 fans now have more freedom in attack with the ability to take control of teammates during throw-ins, corners, and free kicks. Using the right stick, FIFA fans can now control teammates off the ball to put them in the optimal spot to receive a pass during dead ball situations.

They've installed trench drains beneath the warning track along the foul lines and along the outfield walls; they tie into new storm sewers that exit the park at LF or CF and lead to a new stormwater detention facility beneath the parking lot in the little service court between the stadium walls and the scaffolding structure where they shoot off the fireworks.
I know throughout January and February they were working on this and fighting the weather; hopefully it'll all be done for opening day.

The Inn
The Malaga Inn, a circa 1862 Mobile, Alabama hotel located in Downtown Historic District is the only Boutique Inn of its kind in the state. The Malaga Inn was originally built as twin townhouses by two brothers–in–law when the war was still going well for the South. Construction on the townhomes began shortly after the State of Alabama passed its secession ordinance in 1861. The townhouses remained in the Goldsmith and Frohlichstein families for many years, but as happens to many historic homes, they were eventually sold out of the family. They changed owners several times in the early 1900's until finally being purchased by the current owners' family in the mid 1960's.
Nearly a century after they were originally built, renovations began on the property, transforming it with a 2nd and 3rd story rear addition over the original carriage house. The two original townhomes were lovingly restored and many guests rooms open onto the central picturesque courtyard.
Today the Malaga Inn welcomes guests to enjoy with 39 private rooms and suites, each individually designed and custom made for comfort at our Mobile, Alabama hotel.
At present, the remaining original Carriage house is the location of many special events and weddings as well as a quaint spot for guests to enjoy breakfast or an early evening cocktail. Some of the secrets we still hide within in our walls are the tunnels under the West house which the owners believe used to be a hiding place by Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. We are happy to offer complimentary tours of our Historic Mobile, Alabama hotel to our guests upon availability.

4th Grade Math Class
In my elementary school we would switch teachers for different subjects in order to get us ready for middle school. On Septemper 11, 2001 when the planes hit the world trade center I was sitting in my math teachers class. Once she heard what happened she turned on the TV and we all watched it. Of course being as young as I was I didn't really understand but it looked scary. Now that I understand what happened, I will never forget where I was when it happened.

Loading... Running Looseby Chris Crutcher
None. Banned Books Week 2014 (234) Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Chris Crutcher's Running Loose is about more than just football and running. It's about more than being in high school and dealing with all kinds of different prejudices. It is about a boy who has it all and then has to watch it all wither away. He loses his spot on the football team after freaking out about the actions committed against a negro on the other team, he loses his girlfriend to a tragic accident, and he loses the enjoyment that he once found in school. However, through it all, Louie is able to find something to hold on to. He learns to move beyond blaming God for his problems and to just run loose. Life isn't always perfect, but joy can be found at any time. Crutcher tells this moving story in a humorous way; it isn't a moral story. I would recommend this book to anyone, as long as they didn't mind a bit of profanity. This was a good book! I chose from a pile of books, to read this in tenth grade. Deadline by Chris Crutcher What if you found out you only had a year to live? What would you do in that short time? Early one summer, Ben soon to be a senior in high school; faced the most difficult year of his life. He found out when he went to the hospital for his annual physical for school that he was slowly dying. Ben had to make the biggest decision of his life: try live the most normal year he could, or go through treatment and extend his life a little and have everyone feel sorry for him. He chose to live life. Ben had always dreamed and felt that he would never live past eighteen. He wanted to make a difference in the world before his time ran out, but how? How could an eighteen year old boy that lives in Idaho do anything? How will his death affect his family? Will and can he make a difference? All he can do is try, and that's what he does. I enjoyed this book a lot it made me really think how important it is to live your life like it's your last day. Ben finds out that he is actually the lucky one because he knows that he only has a while to live unlike us. We never know when it's our Time. So live life. By, Hannah Olson "Hey, you know, this isn't a whole lot of fun." "Ain't is it? Not hardly worth playin'. Funny too, 'cause the rules are simple and easy." Louie Banks doesn't have the worst life. His friends and people he knows have it bad with abusive parents and bad influences, but compared to them, Louie lives like a god. With great friends, a fantastic football player, and the most wanted girlfriend in the school named Becky, who's eyes makes guys ache for her. What can go wrong? Apparently a lot. In a big game, Louie fights against the coach who ordered one of his players to hurt the star player on the opposite team, and what he gets for that is getting kicked out of the team. It's still not that bad. He has supporters that love him and care for him including Becky, but as things start to look better, Louie's life is running loose. All of Chris Crutcher's main characters have relatively good lives. They always do compare to their best friend or one of their enemies. Also, Crutcher makes you want to root for the main character, because every other one ticks you off, including any/all Catholics. That and with drugs, abuse, language, and other suggestive themes, no wonder people want to ban his books, but each books has their own lesson, but you have to look inside yourself to figure that out. I highly recommend all of his books. They're short, and to me, guarantee satisfaction. Rating: Four Stars **** Louie is in his final year of high-school and life is going well, but a confrontation on the football field results in his dropping out of the team and a subsequent suspension from school. Louie's girlfriend, Becky, supports him through this time. Becky dies in a car accident, which adds to Louie's stress and he reacts badly at the funeral. Louie's grief is realistically drawn, and he is supported by his parents and Becky's father during this time. Some of the best advice offered is from Louie's boss, Dakota, who tells him that "the reason some things happen is just because they happen." no reviews | add a review

Washington The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday set June 28 as the starting date for hearings on Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, and asked the Clinton presidential library to turn over voluminous documents related to Kagan's time as a top presidential assistant in the 1990s.
But Terri Garner, director of the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum, said in an interview Wednesday that it would be "very difficult" for her facility to meet the June 28 deadline. She said the records request is overly broad and "too general in scope" and that, under the Presidential Records Act, attorneys for both Clinton and President Barack Obama have the right to read and review each document before it is released to the committee.
Kagan, currently U.S. solicitor general, served in the Clinton White House as an associate counsel to the president in 1995 and 1996 and as deputy assistant for domestic policy from 1997 to 1999.

This is not my Kobe of elegance, bustle and memories. It is a Kobe of devastation which starts at the city limits. Houses in outer suburbs, most of them single wooden structures, have tumbled on one another like bowling pins.
One of the collapsed buildings is a huge Buddhist temple, called Saisukuji, where three monks died.
Closer to central Kobe, in the wealthy residential areas of Ashiya and Shukugawa, suburbs often called the Beverly Hills of Japan, the stone pillars of gates and garden walls are cracked.
The trademark plushness of Kobe's main shopping street, with its glittering malls, has been transformed into shabby, disfigured columns and broken glass. Along the Hankyu railway track, where thousands of residents ride to work each day, entire sections of elevated tracks are collapsed on parked cars, many of them luxury sedans.
Walking through the damage, there is a chill silence broken only by the sirens of rescue vehicles.
The only lights are the headlights of cars and trucks caught in a bumper-to-bumper traffic jam both ways, as people seek to leave the city or to get into it to see if their homes still stand.
What is usually a bustling neon-lit journey is transformed into a sad journey between rows of ghastly wrecks of apartments and shops spilling on to the road on both sides. Patrolling police plead with drivers to make way for emergency aid convoys carrying medical supplies.
One convoy was led by a dozen Japan army trucks, each towing a water tank. The surface of the road is cracked every 10 metres, and all traffic lights are out of order. In a city park, about 20 people in blankets huddle around a fire. They are just some of the 70,000 people turned into refugees by the devastation.
In the most potent symbol of the scarring of Kobe, a large, ugly crack runs down the white facade of the Sogo department store, flagship of the city's most elegant shopping district opposite the town's main railway station.
The whole city, my Kobe, has the look of a hundred Leaning Towers of Pisa or a pile of collapsing dominoes.

One thing Gary Neville has never done well is facial hair. There have been moments when he has sought to nurture some sort of mangled goatee but ends up resembling a character from a Graham Greene script, one of those petty, twisted crooks, full of spite and pent up hatred at the world. Which is pretty much how Liverpool fans see him.
In the modern game grooming is everything, and we are not talking the time the Football Association has devoted preparing Stuart Pearce to be something terribly important. The FA are well aware of its relevance (grooming that is, not Stuart Pearce) which is why there is an official England moisturiser (maybe there's the role for Pearce... "JT, get back here and rub that in properly"). In a couple of days the supplier of the England team's skin-care cream – no commercial stone can be left unturned – will be expecting bumper sales as all those beards and moustaches grown for Movember disappear down plugholes.
Neville, wisely, has stayed smooth and concentrated on mastering the buttons Sky make him fiddle with during his Monday night analysis. I like Neville as a pundit – he has settled much more into the role than former team-mate Roy Keane, who talks too quickly on ITV (and no doubt on any other channel) which means he swallows his words. Neville has a nice turn of phrase – see last Sunday's one-liner about David Luiz defending like a "10-year-old on a Playstation" – and is able to translate his obvious knowledge of the game to the viewer.
Neville's increasing ubiquity on Sky's best football is in part down to Andygrayisahorriblesexistgate, but they have a winner on their hands and they know it. Neville is how Alan Hansen once was. Meanwhile, the BBC persevere with Alan Shearer and consign better pundits to suffer Colin Murray on a Sunday night.
There is more hair on Match of the Day though. Gary Lineker has gone down the salt and pepper goatee route. Lineker knows how to groom, unlike Mark Lawrenson. Dear old Lawro becomes ever more world weary with each programme and his beard now lends him the air of an ageing thespian who has played his last Lear. On Saturday night Lawro described himself as looking like Dick van Dyke as he tried on Shearer's hat. Lineker suggested he would have a better cockney accent. Shearer, the man once described as football's Mary Poppins, said nothing.
Like Match of the Day, Football Focus has moved to Manchester and they have employed the same set designer/primary school class to create something yellow and horrible. Dan Walker, the presenter, has caught this column's eye in the past for his puppyish enthusiasm but he has calmed down. Perhaps Lawro has had him seen to. The well-scrubbed up Walker, not a wisp of hair on his happy face, has become a good presenter, if you don't get distracted by the busy hands, and a likeable one too, although like Lineker his script is clearly written by the BBC pun department/primary school class.

Governor Cuomo Announces $9 Million in Flood Mitigation Grants Awarded Through NY Works Program
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that $9 million in flood mitigation and flood control grants will be awarded through the NY Works program to 23 counties to help restore and rehabilitate New Yorks waterways that were severely impacted by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. In addition, New York State is providing $7 million in funding so counties can meet their 25 percent non-federal match requirements for eligible federally funded stream restoration projects through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. All together, $16 million from New York State is leveraging $44 million in federal and local funding to complete emergency watershed protection and flood reduction projects in 26 counties.
As part of the Buffalo to Albany Cycling the Erie bike tour, Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joseph Martens, NYS Canal Corporation Director Brian Stratton, NYPA President & CEO Gil Quiniones, and Division of Homes & Community Renewal Commissioner Darryl Towns today held an event at the Town of Schuyler Town Hall to announce the flood mitigation grants.
The unprecedented flood water levels caused by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee resulted in extensive damage to public and private infrastructure and the states waterways. These grants will help repair waterways and further safeguard public and private infrastructure from future flood events.
"NY Works funding is critical to rebuilding our infrastructure and creating jobs across the state," Governor Cuomo said. "Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee were two of the most devastating flooding events in New Yorks history and this grant funding and the assisting match funds are important components of the overall, on-going flood recovery effort and should help communities across the state address the most immediate flood impacts and assist in mitigating future flood damage."
"Restoring streams will go a long way to minimize damage from future storm events," NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens said. "Working with DEC, local communities will now have the needed funds to prevent future damage to property, infrastructure and the environment."
"Governor Cuomo continues to make the rebuilding of our communities devastated by last years floods a top priority," said Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Kenneth Adams. "Providing funding to those counties that need it most will not only mean restored waterways but also restored confidence as homes and businesses will be better protected in the future."
The Hurricane Irene-Tropical Storm Lee Flood Mitigation Grant Program was created by Governor Cuomo as part of the Hurricane Irene Tropical Storm Lee Flood Recovery Program in December 2011. DEC and Empire State Development reviewed the grant applications and ESD, in consultation with DEC, is administering the program. Individual grants are statutorily capped at $500,000.
Applicants were encouraged to leverage other federal and local funding to supplement project costs. The $9 million in state funds was able to leverage nearly $13 million in federal funding by using a portion of these state funds as the 25 percent non-federal match to 65 USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program approved projects. These funds were also able to leverage an additional $3.2 million in local funding, through localities commitment of staff resources and use of local equipment.
The $7 million in additional state funding for 25 percent non-federal match is being made available out of remaining 2011 special session funds. Assistance is being given for 68 eligible projects to 18 counties that were unable to secure all or part of their match. These state funds will leverage nearly $28 million in additional federal funding.
Examples of projects include stream bank stabilization and restoration, reconnecting streams to their natural flood plain through removal of berms, replacing undersized culvert pipes with larger box culverts or arched bridges, removing debris and gravel from culvert pipes and bridges, and restoring stream channels to their pre-flood dimensions and characteristics. In the months after the storms, there was an unprecedented cooperative effort between state, federal and local governments to assess stream damage and design projects and proposals that respected the natural functions of streams and related wetlands.
DEC conducted a thorough review and evaluation of all applications and the proposed projects to determine grant awards. New York State worked with NRCS to determine additional necessary projects in need of non-federal matching funds. Counties will receive:
County | Grant Award | Matching Funds | Total |
| $500,000 | $4,803,374 | $5,303,374 |

A complete list of funded projects by county is available at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/79243.html
NRCS State Conservationist Donald Pettit said, "Combining New York State funding with funds made available from the Natural Resources Conservation Emergency Watershed Protection Program will enable communities to protect important roads, bridges and infrastructure as well as reduce the potential erosion from a number of sites damaged by Irene and Lee. This work will help local people heal New Yorks land and water."
Senator James L. Seward said, "In the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster, the priority is on restoring lives and making the repairs needed to ensure our communities are safe, next comes preparing for the future. I commend Governor Cuomo and state officials on the initial response following Irene and Lee and appreciate the continued attention to flood stricken areas. These grants will help make sure homes and businesses are protected for years to come without burdening local governments and taxpayers."
Assemblyman Peter Lopez said, "Immediately following the floods last year, I reached out to the governor to express urgent concern for the need to stabilize the streams before they inflicted even more damage. This task has proven to be monumental and out of reach for our already devastated communities. Working with the governor, I am pleased that he helped secure the resources needed to protect the people, farms, and businesses in the region. I cannot overemphasis how thankful we are to have the governor as an able partner in recovery from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee."
Broome County Executive Debbie Preston said, "Thanks to Governor Cuomo for his leadership in helping Broome and our neighboring counties recover from last years flood. 2006 and 2011 devastated us. This needed funding will help us clear and restore waterways to protect our community as much as possible from future flooding."
Randall T. Douglas, Chair of the Essex County Board of Supervisors, said, "I am most gracious to Governor Cuomo and DEC Commissioner Joe Martens for once again coming to the aid of Essex County residents affected by Tropical Storm Irene. The Town of Jay alone has endured $3 million in debt for reconstruction to roads, water, sewer and youth facilities. The Governors announcement of Essex County receiving $500,000 from the Flood Mitigation Grant Program couldnt have come at a better time. Asking our residents to finance the removal of washed up debris on private properties is the straw that broke the camels back."
Wayne Speenburgh, Chairman of the Greene County Legislature, said, "Were happy Governor Cuomo has made funding available under the Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee grant program to address this important need. Many parts of Greene County were devastated by this unprecedented flood event and we are fortunate to receive this funding to assist with our on-going recovery efforts."
Harold Vroman, Chairman of the Schoharie County Board of Supervisors, said, "Schoharie County is grateful for the continuing partnership with the State of New York as we recover from a flood of record. We have the largest amount of Emergency Watershed Protection projects, over $21 million, approved by NRCS in the State, and were facing significant fiscal challenges to be able to match the Federal dollars that are being offered. With the damages that have reduced our tax base, and the costs of recovery for homeowners, businesses, farmers and governments, the Towns could not sponsor these projects, and the County would be hard pressed to afford it financially. The scars that Irene and Lee have left with Schoharie County will take years to heal. Thanks to the Governors announcement today, we now are further along path to recovery."
Delaware County Board of Supervisors Chairman James Eisel said, "I would like to thank Governor Cuomo for these additional dollars to help us repair our streams. In Delaware County this has become an enormous project and were working daily to restore our streams to pre-August 2011 conditions. Every dollar will help us attain that goal."

On IntelligenceFrom the inventor of the PalmPilot comes a new and compelling theory of intelligence, brain function, and the future of intelligent machines Jeff Hawkins, the man who created the PalmPilot, Treo smart phone, and other handheld devices, has reshaped our relationship to computers. Now he stands ready to revolutionize both neuroscience and computing in one stroke, with a new understanding of intelligence itself. Hawkins develops a powerful theory of how the human brain works, explaining why computers are not intelligent and how, based on this new theory, we can finally build intelligent machines. The brain is not a computer, but a memory system that stores experiences in a way that reflects the true structure of the world, remembering sequences of events and their nested relationships and making predictions based on those memories. It is this memory-prediction system that forms the basis of intelligence, perception, creativity, and even consciousness. In an engaging style that will captivate audiences from the merely curious to the professional scientist, Hawkins shows how a clear understanding of how the brain works will make it possible for us to build intelligent machines, in silicon, that will exceed our human ability in surprising ways. Written with acclaimed science writer Sandra Blakeslee, On Intelligence promises to completely transfigure the possibilities of the technology age. It is a landmark book in its scope and clarity. |

I have read many books regarding the question of what is human consciousness and how do our minds work. This book is one of the most comprehensive and interesting. Jeff thinks that our intelligence arises from being able to link our consciousness with previously stored memories and so be able to make predictions about the world. This idea makes a certain amount of sense; however, he has no idea, and nobody else does either, yet, how this happens. In fact, no one has been able to figure out how consciousness is created yet. Can an artificial intelligence be intelligent without being conscious? I should think that the answer is, yes, to a certain extent. Nevertheless, even if the software gave the appearance of consciousness, it would not really be conscious and thus, I think, its capacity for intelligence would be limited. Jeff's book is basically a call-out to really smart people everywhere to build an intelligent machine using his ideas. That's fine but, personally, I don't think that we will build an intelligent machine using just algorithms. I think we need to find out more about the physiology of the human brain and how it works. Then, just like in Star Trek, the intelligence will actually be created using human or some other creature's neurons. If we can figure out what the genetic program is for growing a brain, what is to stop us from growing whatever kind of brain we like? Anyway, if you don't know much about the research into intelligence, then this book would be a good starting point for you.
This theory completely encompasses the variety within the human mind. He offers us a framework that allows for the diversity of the way we think of ourselves. I believe if we are open enough to see the merit the Jeff Hawkins work, we will understand ourselves and others much more.
Having said that, he is the first to admit that there are undoubtedly errors within the theory, and I occasionally found myself thinking, "no, there's more to it than that". but as an overall theory it is spot on. He has come from good background texts, some of which are opposed to the idea of artificial intelligence, but the fact that he agrees with some of these contradictory texts just reinforces his theories and he brings together a number of viewpoints to provide a new coherent testable hypothesis.
Artificial Intelligence is on it's way, if this work is ignored it will only be a behavioural intelligence that lacks understanding but performs intelligent behaviour. With this work I think we will see machines that understand the nature of things the same way as our brain understands the nature of things and hopefully can be put to good use and in an ethical way.

If you want to increase your pleasure in the bedroom without using Viagria, there are natural alternatives that can increase both sexual pleasure for both men and women. Morgasm L-Arginine Cream is a 100% all natural cream that increases sexual pleasure for both men and women. It is aloe based and has never been tested on animals. It uses a combination of different natural ingredients to increase blood flow to a man's penis and to a woman's clitoris.
Morgasm Cream is 100% natural. It uses 21 different sexually stimulating ingredients that are highly effective at increasing sexual pleasure. It contains ingredients such as Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Green Tea, Almond Oil and Evening Primrose Oil. All of these ingredients are extremely healthy and are friendly ingredients for your body. One of the main ingredients in this cream by Morgasm is L-arginine, an amino acid that works in partnership with the nitric acid natural found in our bodies to increase blood flow to the genital region. You can read the complete list of ingredients at morgasm.com.
Most creams for sexual pleasure are either water based or silicone based. Silicone based sexual creams can cause allergic reactions in some people. Not everyone finds that water or silicone based sexual creams provide proper lubrication or increase sexual pleasure. Morgasm's cream stands out because it is 100% aloe-based. You do not have to worry about allergic reactions with this aloe based product.
Morgasm is also committed to never using animal based products. They do not use animal based products in their cream nor do they test their cream on animals. All the natural ingredients found in their cream are plant-based organic extracts. They only use plant-based organic extracts to ensure that you are using a healthy and safe product.
One of the main ingredients in the cream is L-arginine. L-arginine is an amino acid. This amino acid works in partnership with the nitric acid that is found in our bodies. Nitric acid ensures that our blood is flowing properly throughout our body. It directs our circulatory system. One of the main root causes of decreased sexual pleasure in both men and women is circulatory problems. When our bodies are not pumping blood effectively, it is hard to become aroused. Our sex organs need additional blood flow to become aroused. L-arginie works with the nitric acid in our bodies to increase blood flow for both men and women's sex organs. This allows both men and women to experience more sexual pleasure and longer orgasms.
Morgasm's cream allows both men and women to experience more sexual pleasure by using natural ingredients. Their cream is aloe based and only contains natural ingredients. To learn more about all the benefits of this amazing cream, check out morgasm L arginine Cream for male enhancement.

In what's been the land of the walking wounded over the last few weeks, Adam McQuaid is one player making steady progress from the lower-body injury that's dogged him over the last couple of months.
McQuaid began skating on his own last week, but rejoined his B's teammates in a skate for the first time on Monday at Ristuccia Arena. For a player that originally missed eight games with the groin injury and has now missed another six games most recently after re-aggravating the issue, McQuaid is understandably measured in his excitement about the progress being made.
"I'm coming along. Today is the first day with the team again" said McQuaid. "Obviously it's nice to take that step back out there with the guys, and kind of do some line rush stuff and game action stuff. [It's] very similar to last time. It's just kind of a day-to-day process and see how things react."
It's clearly a learning process for the B's 27-year-old stay-at-home defenseman, who has never been through this particular kind of injury prior to this season. McQuaid's biggest goal is to really take his time and make sure he stays in the lineup when he does return from the injured reserve. Kevan Miller has played solidly in his place, giving McQuaid the luxury of time in his recovery.

While videogames have been a popular form of entertainment practice for a number of decades it is only recently that they have been paid much attention by academics. Although there is a burgeoning body of scholarship that deals with videogames in new media and games studies, human geography is only just beginning to offer its own take on the medium and the practices associated with it. This essay outlines ways in which scholars (both within geography and beyond) have traced out the geographies in videogames (in terms of the representations and politics within videogames), the geographies of videogames (in terms of the production and consumption of videogames) and videogames as a cultural geographical practice (in terms of the technocultural practices through which videogames and videogamers are produced). We argue that approaching videogaming as a (techno)cultural practice can enrich the cultural geographies in and of videogames.

For hay he gets three flakes of local in am, one flake at lunch, and three local and one grass/alfalfa for pm. I dont know much of his past but i know he is an ex standerbred pacer, he was sold to some bad people who neglected him severely. when the horse rescue place found him he had no shelter, no blanket, no food nor water, and he had a nail in his frog.

I do not know the feed you are given him now But I would put him on equine senior and a cup of veg oil am and pm, the hay sound good and supplements for hooves it is every thing he needs |
384 Attachment(s) COB is cheap feed, it's just Corn, Oats, Barley. Up the hay & the high fibre feed and a good carb is the beet pulp. Your sweetfeed & all the rest isn't doing to give you the results you want. |
im mostly useing the cob and step 2 stuff as a treat the bran/sweetfeed/beet mix is just because he doesnt like plain fiber max he spits it out if i dont add stuff |
does anyone think i should up the ProForm step right Step Two peak extruded |
