QotW: \"Music and the Beast\"
Thanks to those of you who braved the torrent of E3 propaganda last week to respond to our last QotW. I realize that you didn't hear anything about what Ritual was doing, but all I can say is that our silence was intentional.
Anyway, our QotW this week involves music, and is a three-parter.
1) Does music add anything to your gameplay experience?
2) Are there particular musical styles/artists you prefer listening to when playing first-person shooters?
3) Do you prefer constant music playing in the background or do you prefer mostly environmental sound effects with an occasional triggered musical cue?
Thanks in advance for the answers. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go break things so they won't break for you.

Re: QotW: \"Music and the Beast\"
Constant backround music ruins games. Only add music in important parts of levels, and make it match the scenario. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY DO NOT ADD MUSIC THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CARMINA BURANA RIP OFF . The original Carmina Burana should also stay out of games please.
I like techno in any game, all other genres of music are made for listening.
Music can add to the gameplay, but only if it is used in the right situations, like being scary or actiony.

Re: QotW: \"Music and the Beast\"
I like music only when it sets the mood. For example when you are suppose to be sneaking around and someone spots you and then the music kicks in, I think thats a impotant aspect to have in a game.

Re: QotW: \"Music and the Beast\"
1) Yes, definitely. Especially when the music's good enough to listen to on its own.
2) For FPSs, something with a "pulse". It can be orchestral, electronic, or both, but there should be something driving the action forward. (At least, for multiplayer or straightforward action sequences. For more atmospheric or dramatic sequences, something else is obviously called for. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])
Some of my favorites (all of which fulfill the "good enough to listen to independently" clause): Koji Kondo's Zelda music; Blizzard's music, especially WarCraft II and World of WarCraft; Jeehun Hwang's MechWarrior 2 and Duane Decker's MechWarrior 3; Alexander Brendon's Unreal and Unreal Tournament; and Kevin Riepl's Unreal Tournament 2004.
3) I prefer constant music, especially if it's dynamic a la the original Unreal.

Re: QotW: \"Music and the Beast\"
the problem with music is, everybody has his own taste.
thats why i think its better to only have enviromental sounds and some calm ambient sound that turns a bit faster when action heats up.
if somebody insists on listening to real music in games, he can allways have winamp open in the background, thats my opinion anyway.

Re: QotW: \"Music and the Beast\"
1.) Yes - if its gotten the same amount of attention as the rest of the game. No if its a hack job. Better to just leave it out.
2.) I think its pretty much dependant on the type of first-person shooter. Although I cant see a case where country would fit but other then that anythings fair game.
3.) Constant music I think takes away from the experience. There should be music triggers that add to (what should be) emotional parts of the game, or kick in during a lull in the action to pass the time.
For example: I step out of the starting area into a big city and see the scope of it - thats the time for a music trigger. Not real loud, but something Ill hear in the back of my mind. It's important not to have it too loud or as soon as it's gone you instinctively "miss" it. It should come and go without much notice.
Side note: and please dont ruin it with a cut-scene - I dont need help taking in the scenery, especially not with an out-of-body experience [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] for that matter many of those types of "mini" cut-scenes seem more out of place then necessary /side note
Obviously movies are a good example of this. The 5th Element comes to mind as a movie I've watched recently and had great use of music and sound in general.
Sometimes random music triggers during the level add to the experience also (as said above, during a lull in the action for example) its not constant, but every so often you hear the music playing in the background which is kind of nice. I think Knights of the Old Republic did that well, although all of it may have been triggered. Its been awhile since I played it.
Although please if youre going to have things like triggered music during combat do not loop the same short track over and over and over again. Have a different track for each type of combat experience, and make it fairly long. Personally I think Id rather not have any triggered music then have the same repetitive music over and over again.
3a.) I think it might be prudent to add more sound options as well. You can configure a lot of other options but sound still remains fairly limited.
For example for those that want constant music it would be a choice that would override triggers (except at important moments) or random music. This would also add to replay ability in a small way - because sound can be so important to the feel of the game even little changes can make a big difference.
Anyway - I dont think Ive said it yet, but its cool you guys are doing these questions. Its nice to see what other people have to say, and to express opinions on these subjects. As a level designer Im trying to take in anything thats relevant myself [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: QotW: \"Music and the Beast\"
Ah music, one of those "little things" that often is looked at as an afterthought. I have to admit to being one of those gamers that in the past would turn down/off the music in games. Why? Well, because some of the music was so bad that it actually interfered with my gaming experience. Rather than listen to the same small loop over and over again (until my brain was ready to explode), I just wanted to play. Many times I also would rather have the sound cues come from the environment. For example, tactical squads (like SWAT/etc.) don't have music playing while they are on a mission. So, I don't feel it works in the game (if you are shooting for realism).
1) Yes, music can be an excellent mood setter for a game. Action music can get the blood pumping, grand orchestral type music can make things seem bigger and more elaborate than they are. The "kind" of music needs to be appropriate for the game/setting/situation. I think Call of Duty did a good job with the music.
2) This greatly depends on the type of FPS game. Deus Ex doesn't need the same type of music as Call of Duty or Duke Nukem (Whenever). So, rather than state a specific artist, I would say let the experience within the game speak to what type of music would work best. For example, if the God of War show ever comes back on G4, check out the three different music selections they went thru before settling on one. At one point they had rock guitar riffs which didn't seem right. Record a decent section of gameplay footage. Watch the footage with the sound turned off and see if any "beats"/etc. come to mind while watching it. Go from there and try different variations until something seems to "fit".
3) Okay, I'm gonna differ slightly from many people on this one. I do NOT like game triggered event music AT ALL. I do like environmental music. It's okay if you walk into a new area, say from inside to outside (vice versa), and the music changes from what it was to something new in order to "introduce" this new envrionment. However, I HATE when I'm in a game and the "action" music kicks in BEFORE THE FREAKING EVENT. I know this may seem like a bit of a timing issue, but, there have been WAY WAY WAY too many games that I have played that do this. I want the experience within the game to be the event, NOT the change in music. In other word, I don't want to know the bad guy is coming before he gets there. That should be the job of in game sound (and the ability of the gamer to listen for audible clues). With that being said, I'm also get tired of audio cues as well. Unless it was a "closet monster", DooM 3 seemed to relish in giving away monster positions by sound way too often.
All in all, I do think music can help (or hurt) a game. The music needs to complement the events within the game. I find it better to let the music help set the mood, but, not be an intrusive aspect. Music comes across like lighting within graphics. You need it, but if it's not done well, you can tell it pretty quickly. If it is done well, then the proper mood and atmosphere is created.

Re: QotW: \"Music and the Beast\"
i think it very much also depends on the game
Need For Speed Underground or GTA would not be the same without their music!

Re: QotW: \"Music and the Beast\"
I'm not a big fan of background music in games. If the music loops it always gets out of sync with the pace of the game at some point. Situational music (where a song kicks as some event unfolds) can be ok if there's enough other sounds in the game to make the world seem immersive when the musics not playing.
But overall I really like to choose my own background music or not. If I'm in the mood for background music, I usually leave WinAmp running in the background with whatever music I'm in the mood for. If a game has a soundtrack you can really get tired of hearing the same music over and over.

Re: QotW: \"Music and the Beast\"
Music can be both a good and bad thing, as long as the music fits the area of the game and adds to the experience, I'm all for it. But if it takes away from it, then don't even put it in at all!
As for FPS games I tend to like to listen to something that "pumps you up" which really just depends what kinda mood your in. It could be techno, metal, or rap. It all depends on the game, person, and scenario.
As for musical timing, it depends on the game. For RPG's constant background music can be goodm same with RTS's and other games of that nature. But for newer FPS's I like to just have sound effects and triggered music.

We have begun our week without Dad. My day started at 4:30 this morning to wish him good-bye and I must admit I am ready for bed...now. While I had a few hours of quiet time this morning (I tried to go back to sleep. I really did), I prayed for patience, energy, and the ability to give a little extra. I know my kiddos will miss their daddy. They look forward to that door opening at the end of the work day and playing with him on the weekend. It will be a little different this weekend, but it is my goal to make sure we have a little extra fun!
I also hope to give extra hugs and kisses, allow a little extra time when they're sad at bedtime, and a little extra forgiveness when they're grumpy. The presence of someone as important as Dad will surely be felt over the next week. This is not our norm, so this mama will have to buck up, put my feelings aside, and do my best to give all of those extras this week. (Did I mention he bought me a box of local chocolates before he left?! They'll be devoured soon!). I plan to give my best effort!

You are developing a Web Form. The Web Form allows users to insert personal information.
You need to set the cursor inside the given name text box when the Web Form is first displayed.
What should you do?
A) Call the SetFocus method of the Page inside the text box control's Init event.
B) Set the text box control's TabIndex property to 0.
C) Call the Focus method of the text box control inside the page load event.
D) Set the text box control's Enabled attribute to True inside the form's source view.
My answer would be C, since it just makes sense to set focus to the control during the page_load event.
A is wrong (IMO): because SetFocus is not a defined method and the Page_Init only initializes the page when it is first called. The Page_Load event is then called once the request has been processed, and all of the controls are updated.
B is wrong because the TabIndex only tells what order of the controls on the page are sequentially access when the tab button is pressed.
D is wrong because setting a control to enabled only allows the user to enter information into that control.

Zeitgeist Multi-disciplinary Arts Center. When I returned to New Orleans after 3 years in Buffalo he offered me the Zeitgeist Screening Room at Movie Pitchers.
Zeitgeist: The Movie - Top Documentary Films. Documentary Zeitgeist: The Movie, authored by Peter Joseph, reflects on the the myth of Jesus, the attacks of 9/1. Federal Reserve Bank as well as on a number of conspiracy theories related to those three main topics.
It was released free online via Google Video in June 2. A remastered version was presented as a global premiere on November 1. Annual Artivist Film Festival & Artivist Awards.
The film has attracted significant public interest. If you dig deep enough into any one of the issues and resolutions presented in the film you'll find that there are actual facts to support each one of them. It's as simple as that. We need to wake up on a planetary level and work towards a fossil fuel free planet. We can't afford to wait and debate whether .

Stop nitpicking the particulars and act. We're running out of time and most importantly resources. If there is a God, I doubt he likes this use of money and the monetary system and how those in power (with money) have used it to benefit only themselves and further destroy the environment and all life on this planet. Think about it. Six corporations, (mostly made up of families who have married each other for years) are determining the fate of the human race and the planet, through their advertising money spent and blatant misuse and abuse of power. Are we going to stand here like sheep?
Or are we going to work together and help change the future of humankind for the betterment of all? We choose to be greedy, we choose to be hateful, we chose to segregate each other into categories, we chose to twist the rules, omit a word, and judge where none of us has a right to judge. We can only do the best we can. It's not even about faith really, it's about being deeply human. How we choose to deal with our humanity is just a choice. We all have the same finish line to look forward to. Faith is what you choose to hope for after you cross it.

It asserts that the U. S. The film asserts that such wars serve to sustain conflict in general and force the U. S. The film also claims that the Federal Income Tax is illegal. Government's income tax is unconstitutional. Part III also alleges a secret agreement to merge the United States, Canada and Mexico into a North American Union as a step toward the creation of a single world government. The film speculates that under such a government, every human could be implanted with an RFID chip to monitor individual activity and suppress dissent.
Reception. 1. 1, the international monetary system, and Christianity. It's a driven, if uneven, piece of propaganda, a marvel of tight editing and fuzzy thinking. Its on- camera sources are mostly conspiracy theorists, co- mingled with selective eyewitness accounts, drawn from archival footage and often taken out of context. It derides the media as a pawn of the International Bankers, but produces media reports for credibility when convenient. The film ignores expert opinion, except the handful of experts who agree with it.

It premiered at the 5th Annual Artivist Film Festival in Los Angeles, California on October 2, 2. The remainder of the film is narrated by Peter Joseph and divided into four parts, which are prefaced by on- screen quotations from Krishnamurti, John Adams, Bernard Lietaer, and Thomas Paine, respectively. Part I covers the process of fractional- reserve banking as illustrated in Modern Money Mechanics, by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The film suggests that society is manipulated into economic slavery through debt- based monetary policies by requiring individuals to submit for employment in order to pay off their debt.
Part II has an interview with John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman, who says he was involved in the subjugation of Latin American economies by multinational corporations and the United States government, including involvement in the overthrow of Latin American heads- of- state. Perkins sees the US as a corporatocracy, in which maximization of profits is the first priority. Part III introduces futurist Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project and asserts a need to move away from current socioeconomic paradigms. Fresco states that capitalism perpetuates the conditions it claims to address, as problems are only solved if there is money to be made. The film looks at Fresco's proposal of a resource- based economy, which puts environmental friendliness, sustainability and abundance as fundamental societal goals.

The Smokin' Pig to Open Anderson Location in Stoney's Building
The Smokin' Pig, a barbecue fixture in the Upstate, is expected to open a new location in Anderson in the recently closed Stoney's BBQ building off S.C. 81 North.
A number of sources have confirmed the move, though officials for The Smokin's Pig are not ready to comment on the story at this point.
With locations in Pendleton, Easley and Williamston, long lines and large portions have been a hallmark of The Smokin' Pig. (Menu here). The restaurants are also well-known for their tailgate packages during football season and for catering.
While this story is developing, the Observer expects news on projected opening in the next cpuple of weeks. Stay tuned.

|CIVIL WAR No. 1, September 2015
Based upon the premise that "the events of the 2006-2007 Civil War series never ended" this rather perplexing 'alternate-universe' portrayal of a "Marvel Universe" firmly divided between supporters of Captain America and Iron Man makes for a tense if not entirely enthralling read, and somewhat justifies its 'shifting' of 170,546 copies in order to become the third best-selling comic book of July 2015. Indeed, for all its absurdities, such as the United States of America being "shattered… down the middle" into the territories of Steve Rogers' The Blue and Tony Stark's The Iron, Charles Soule's narrative swiftly acquires a tense edginess to it as the plot moves towards the two former Avengers meeting one another to 'talk' after years of hostility and "bloody conflict".
Admittedly the Brooklyn-born writer's attempt to make neither side the 'baddie' of this book isn't particularly successful, nor does such a concept willingly lend itself to the New Yorker plotting a credible chronicle of events which caused a need for the heroes' 'historic gathering' in the first place. It's certainly hard to believe that "Iron Man rigged the entire [Project 42] prison with a self-destruct" and then activated it so as to destroy "Cap and the rest". Especially when during the fighting a battered Commander Hill informs Stark that T'Challa had actually "hacked into the prison's security systems" and "activated the self-destruct… on Captain America's orders." Why would the Sentinel of Liberty, billionaire inventor or Black Panther willingly consign "fifteen million other people" to so ghastly a fate..?
Perhaps inevitably Soule's writing does ultimately lean towards favouring one side of the dispute with his depiction of life within The Iron appearing far more militaristic, unforgiving and aggressive than Shield-slinger's more compassionate Western America, where "most lived in peace and happiness." In fact the "shock and awe" approach of Stark's "asserted order" agents when they discover "a kid" flying for the first time, coupled with the playboy's antagonistic demands for a portion of The Blue's land because "The Iron's population is growing..." and Miriam Sharpe's assassin actually having been aiming at Steve Rogers, makes it very hard to sympathise with Shellhead's side.
Sadly Leinil Francis Yu's artwork for so serious a mini-series' script is something of a major disappointment. The Filipino comic book artist, "who began working for the American market through Wildstorm Productions", clearly has a very distinctive style which can imbue his figures with impressive life and vitality. But whilst such an ability arguably works on the full-page illustration of Captain America, Spider-Man, Storm and Daredevil battling Iron Man, Doc Samson and others, the technique's evident sketchiness regrettably makes the pencilling appear rushed and hurried when used to depict the story's more sedentary panels. An arguable flaw which is particularly pronounced and noticeable when the characters are drawn against a blank one-dimensional background.

When you get a hoverboard, after open the packing, you will find the charger, cable,manual, hoverboard, some will have a remote key. from these parts, we could not sure the quality is good or not.
First, we should know there are three parts of the hoverboard, Motherboard,two motor and battery.
If this three parts is good, the hoverboard will be a good quality.
The main point of best hoverboard, Best material pictures.
1. Motor,, we think the 30mm magnetic steel is much better than 25mm magnetic steel. The motor at least 30mm magnetic steel
so the motor will be more stable, and not easy fall down.
special when Hoverboard climbing
2.Battery: Enough 4400mAh lithium battery, and with good design, and will cut power when full charged.
3. Motherboard, Taotao motherboard, This one motherboard is less fault rate
4. Some others, such as worker experence, charger, and so on
So when you decide to order the hoverboard, pls note the best hoverboard point,
best hoverboard bring good playing.
Enjoy you hoverboard.

From Urban Acupuncture to the Megapolis
For some time I have been interested in the notion of 'urban acupuncture'. To my knowledge there is no specific body of literature that defines this concept. It is a term that I first heard used at a conference concerning a design approach for a project in India and I regret to say that I have now forgotten the name of the presenter and the details of project. A few years later I find myself returning to this concept in both my practice and teaching in relation to the design of urban environments. My simple definition of urban acupuncture is a design approach that proposes minimum intervention for maximum gain and focuses on connections and settings of social interaction rather than objects. For me it is very much grounded in earlier seminal works such as Rowe and Koetter's (1978) 'Collage City' and Christopher Alexander's (1975) 'The Oregon Experiment'.
Rowe and Koetter position themselves in opposition to the grand vision of the 'master plan' arguing, "total design can only mean total control" (1978:283). They believe that a 'final' and 'complete' solution cannot be identified; everything is conjecture, a hypothesis based on particular value judgments and the available 'facts' to hand. The danger is that grand utopian visions of urban planning are presented as value-neutral and 'true'. They suggest that there is never 'sufficient information' available to construct an ideal formulation of the future, but we must still act. Our best course of action is to approach urban design as a form of 'bricolage' or the recycling of meanings and forms through multiple and diverse means. Urban design thus requires imperfect and incomplete visions created from within rather than grand visions transplanted from without.
Christopher Alexander also argues that urban design should be conceived as a slow process of evolutionary change rather than as a totalitarian 'quick fix'. In the 'Oregon Experiment' he sets out a series of six principles that comprise a generic approach to urban design as a series of 'local acts' based on 'patterns' derived from participatory design. The implementation of the design is focussed on principles of 'piecemeal growth' and 'coordination' combined with a process of 'diagnosis' in which the health of the built environment is continually assessed on an annual basis.
Urban acupuncture adopts a similar premise. It seeks out the 'diseased' places of high urban capacity and inserts catalytic 'needles' to stimulate (not dictate) the development of diverse activity. Teddy Cruz, an architect working in the border towns of San Diego and Tijuana employs the concept in his work to create hybrid programs of community housing and services in under-utilised and leftover pockets of the city. As he describes it, "The goal has been to achieve maximum effect with minimal gestures, to take existing patterns of use as a point of departure, and to develop urban solutions with enough persuasive force to change obsolete planning policy and zoning regulations" (Cruz 2005). One of his projects, 'Living Rooms at the Border' for Casa Familiar, a local advocacy group, integrates 12 flexible affordable housing units, a community centre and offices, a productive garden and shared communal space. On a site originally zoned for three housing units, Cruz has negotiated the increased density by framing it as 'social choreography' rather than 'bulk'.
Perhaps the most well known exponent of the concept of urban acupuncture, however, is Jaime Lerner, ex mayor of Curitiba in Brazil. For Lerner, the focus of urban acupuncture is on small-scale interventions that can be undertaken within short time frames, producing an immediate and catalytic effect. Under his leadership, Curitiba saw the implementation of a series of highly successful social, educative and urban infrastructure initiatives, many of which have inspired further initiatives in other cities.
At a recent conference in Melbourne, Eco-Edge 2, the former mayor of Bogota in Columbia, Enrique Penalosa, spoke passionately about the transformation of his city through the implementation of initiatives such as the 'Transmilenio' bus service based on the Curitiba model, pedestrian streets and urban greenways. At the same conference a series of speakers discussed the urban transformation of China where the Government plans to construct 400 new cities by 2020. The scale of this urbanisation is unprecedented. As Neville Mars, Director of the Dynamic City Foundation in Beijing, noted, it is equivalent to the construction of Europe within 20 years.
In this context, what models of urban design are appropriate? Do principles of evolution, local acts, piecemeal growth and diagnosis have any place in such situations? Frankly, this physical and temporal scale of urbanisation terrifies me. I have no answers, and yet immediate consideration of this issue seems paramount. The consequences for global sustainability are potentially enormous. Indeed, in answer to the question 'what is the biggest contribution Australia can make to sustainability?' posed in a discussion session on Government initiatives at the conference, Peter Davidson of LAB Architects simply stated 'help China'.
Many of the architects and urban designers speaking at the conference proposed alternatives to the mono-functional thinking and urban sprawl that seems to underpin much of the urbanisation in China. Xuemei Bai, Senior Scientist at CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems, also noted how the wide-reaching control and influence of the Chinese Government can quickly be turned towards more sustainable practices in a way that is inconceivable in Australia. The interest in environmental initiatives certainly exists as demonstrated by the proposed construction of the world's first 'eco-city' with a zero emission target on an island offshore from Shanghai. Nevertheless, I think the complexities of social sustainability in the city will be harder to come to terms with. As Neville Mars noted, the physical transformation in China is a consequence of an equally fast-paced cultural shift from the 'collective dream' of communism to the 'scattered dream' of the market. The dreams have barely had time to take root in the mind before they are becoming a physical reality.
Maybe the slow evolutionary process of transformation of these urban environments will take place as the dust begins to settle and the megapolis has been constructed and occupied. New patterns of social networks and spatial practices will emerge and the city will adapt and be adapted to accommodate them. Whether the modern 'planned' city is flexible enough to adjust to these shifts is more questionable. Furthermore, the constructed urban fabric will inevitably influence this process of social transformation since both places and people exist in a state of dialectical tension. It seems therefore that some tentative, imperfect and incomplete visions need to be put on the table now.

In the world, digital marketing is considered as one of the fastest growing businesses and also one of the most profitable ones. But when it comes to Nigeria, digital marketing over there is not that lucrative and it is very hard to undertake the process of digital marketing over there. In Nigeria, there is big lack of structure as well as there is also no good customer base that makes the work of digital marketing more difficult to carry over there. However, if there is someone who is very determined about the digital business over there then they can surely get the success in Nigeria.

Georgia Magazine - August 2017 - 28
HIGH on the
The competitive-barbecue scene
is smokin' in Georgia
ome cookers call it a passion. Others call it a sport,
a hobby or an art. Whatever you call it, competitionbarbecue cooking is exploding in Georgia.
The Georgia Barbecue Association (GBA) began in
2007 with the Hambone Jam in Fort Valley. Today, the
group sanctions more than 20 competitions a year. Other
Georgia barbecue festivals are sanctioned by the Memphis Barbecue Network or the Kansas City Barbecue
Society (KCBS).
"TV shows like 'BBQ Pitmasters,' 'BBQ Crawl,' 'Man
Fire Food,' 'BBQ Rules' and 'Smoked' and stars like Myron Mixon [of Jack's Old South, considered the world's
winningest team], Moe Cason, Tuffy Stone and Melissa
Cookstone drew attention to Southern barbecue and
helped it grow," says Danny Meadows, president of the
Georgia Barbecue Association.
But the roots have always run deep.
"Growing up in South Georgia, every Fourth of
July my family would cook a pig over an open pit. My
mother was an Aunt Bee kind of Southern cook, so
there would be tables of side dishes for about 150 family members, with kids running everywhere. There's no
better childhood memory than that," says Lonnie Smith,
owner of Bubba Grills in Haddock. "Not everyone plays
golf or likes to bass fish, but everybody likes to eat, so
food festivals are always popular."
An engineer and barbecue enthusiast, Smith and his
Bubba Grills smokers are known all over the world. His
family competes nationally and has won more than 35
grand championships.
"What better way to promote our product? And I
love all the people I meet through barbecue," Smith says.
Once, while Smith was judging a contest in Plains,
former President Jimmy Carter stopped by his tent to
thank him for some food he'd sent to the Secret Service
and to talk barbecue.
The camaraderie is one of the best parts of competing, says Jack Fallin of Captain Jack's Freedom BBQ
and owner of 41 & Main restaurant in Tifton. Captain
Jack's will compete in every GBA event this year. The
team won the grand championship and the coveted "Star
Trek"-themed "Starship Anterprise" trophy at the Fire Ant
Festival in Ashburn in March.
"Barbecue cookers are a close-knit family. The
friendships are more satisfying than winning the contest,
but the competition is real. It gets stressful at the end.
You always want to walk last [to collect the top prize],"
Fallin says.
He takes great pride in what he's accomplished.
"After developing the recipes [and] the methods,
marinating and rubbing the meat and cooking for hours,
seeing the result is always rewarding," he says.
Eric Neumeister of the Qmeisters prepares for the Boss Hog CookOff chicken competition. The Evans resident competes along with
his wife and sons.

The Kramers-Kronig transforms (KK) constitute a powerful tool to validate experimental data. The present study is implemented for Bi2O3 thin films deposited by thermal vacuum evaporation at different temperatures of the glass substrates. Since the extraordinary properties of this fabric allow us to consider particular analytical approach as it was previously shown, the reflectance properties of Bi2O3 as a function of temperature could be studied.
The novelty of this article is the studying of a global effective analytical representation, based on polynomial functions, in order to obtain a general model that includes temperature dependence of the optical properties, using the Kramers-Kronig transformation type. In the mathematical expressions, were included mix combined term in order to avoid the effects of Runge phenomenon. As a case study was chosen Bi2O3 – a substance less studied in literature. In the last part are the presented and commented the results obtained for a series of eight studied models.

When my mother (hi, Mom) asked me if I'd read the latest Mary Roach, I got confused, thinking she meant one of the many mystery writers she and my father inexplicably read. (Mysteries in general are not my thing, I tend to not trust any character involved and assume they all did it.) But long story short, I was mixed up and no, I had not read the latest Mary Roach (Gulp, if you couldn't figure it out from my post title), so I got right on that. I'll put the usual spoiler cut, but it's nonfiction about what we eat, how we eat, how we digest, and how we expel all of that from our bodies. It's not as gross as it sounds.
Okay, it's about as gross as it sounds. But the fascinating kind of gross.
It's difficult to write about Mary Roach because it's difficult to read Mary Roach. Well, no, that is not technically true. Mary Roach is immensely easy to read, in that she takes such vast subjects and narrows them to a series of palatable facts and anecdotes. It smacks slightly of attention deficit disorder, the way she jumps around, particularly when you encounter a series of footnotes that takes up more space on the page than the text itself. But trust me when I say you want to read every single one. Plainly put, it's fun.
Roach is a writer of the common people and a researcher of the super-nerdy. When I say that, I mean that she gets fascinated with weird things, weird, specific things, and then goes completely in depth with her research so she can share the intimate details with the rest of us. But the things she loves are things like people in odd professions with hilarious names, or the kind of ridiculous specialty websites that exist. She is the kind of person that likes the fascinating kind of gross, so will unearth the facts behind it, and moreover, the stories behind it, then share that info with you, lucky person who likes to know gross things. (The things about space toilets I learned while reading Packing for Mars will stay with me forever.)
What's more, the things that you read in a Mary Roach book you want to immediately share the weird factoids with everyone you know. That's the essence of science and research and reporting: wanting to uncover a crazy thing and then tell everyone about the crazy thing. For instance, I've already imparted my ill-gained knowledge on friends this week about hooping (the prison term for smuggling goods in your butt) and that Elvis died of heart problems related to his constipation, because he had a megacolon.
For your perusal, some weird, weird things I learned in the course of this book:
– In 1984, people were paneled by scientists to unearth whatever chemical exists in goat's milk to make it go all goat-y. They did not find out.
– Pet food comes in a variety of flavors because humans like a variety of flavors and assume that's what cats want. Cats do not care. (Theoretically. There will always be finicky cats.) (Incidentally, cats are the only true omnivores, given that their natural diet contains no plants, although I happen to know a fat orange cat that gets unbelievably excited to hear the crisper drawer open, because he knows that means free spinach is afoot. I tried to tell him this piece of information, but he was disinterested.)
– Though we like to think that we as humans enjoy a variety of flavors, "the average person eats no more than about thirty foods on a regular basis." Though the book didn't go into this, I can only assume that those thirty foods will shift and rotate.
– Competitive eaters train themselves often by chugging water to expand their stomach and become accustomed to feeling full. Erik Denmark (look him up, I had to) can do two gallons of water in a sitting. Containing a gallon is the point where cadaver stomachs (being used to test stomach capacity) ruptured. It does not mention how often he needs to pee.
– There exists at least one woman in the world who takes the holy water from her church to make her coffee.
I mean, I could go on. I really could. There is so much information thrown at you and it's all really quite fascinating. And bizarre. And often pretty disgusting. Admittedly, I've not read Stiff or Bonk (yet!), but I have read Packing for Mars and there is a large amount of bodily fluids in there. And that's the one about space. Gulp is actually the one about bodily fluids. So, you know, proceed with caution. Or accept that the human body is just as intricate and interesting as the human brain. Because after all, the brain is the one that needs to dig deep in there and research it.

Arizona exemptions finally changed after 30 year wait. Protects basic necessities for all Arizona residents.
Exemptions protect important items from seizure by creditors. Examples are clothing, furniture, inexpensive vehicle, pets.
On Sept. 13, 2013 most of the laws that legislators and the governor enacted in this year's session finally take effect. While several were highly controversial, such as expanding the state's Medicaid program or simplifying the sales tax system, others are aimed at saving people's property. The new laws dealing with Arizona exemptions is one of those aimed at saving people's property.
What is exempt property? According to Wikipedia it is "Exempt property, under the law of property in many jurisdictions, is property that can neither be passed by will nor claimed by creditors of the deceased in the event that a decedent leaves a surviving spouse or surviving descendants. Typically, exempt property includes a family car, and other personal property."
We have several videos on our web site. Below are a couple that might be of interest:

Social media can be a wonderful tool for freelancers. But it can also be a time sink.
It's all too easy to spend hours a week feeding the social media beast, without getting any measurable value in return.
All too often we focus on numbers. We want more friends and followers. We want more clicks and more positive feedback.
Once things start rolling and our numbers start rising at a healthy clip, it's easy to develop a minor obsession. All of a sudden we are spending more and more time finding ways to increase the size of our social media audience.
If this is happening to you, you should press the pause button, sit back and ask yourself this simple question: "Who are these people?"
If they are people like you – fellow freelancers – you are wasting your time. It's unlikely that any of them are going to contribute significantly to the growth and success of your business. Not impossible, but unlikely.
You'd do better to tighten things up and focus only on two audiences…
Audience #1: Prospective clients
The time you spend on social media has the most value when you use it to attract new clients. Imagine waking up one day and finding a direct message from a prospective client asking you to get in touch.
How can you achieve this? First off, follow their own social media streams and contribute by way of likes, loves and comments. But don't overdo it. Don't stalk them.
Most important of all, add value. I constantly see people trying to attract my attention on my own social media streams. They add comments like "Cool!" and "Awesome!" There's no value there. They are not making themselves look good. You'll do better to contribute valuable and useful feedback and comments. Communicate your own knowledge and expertise.
Next, make sure the content within your own social media streams is of value to your prospects. Link to your own content only when it is of direct value to your clients. And don't feature only your own stuff. Also link to articles, videos, podcasts etc that are created by others, but still of value to your prospects. Be a curator of high value. Share the good stuff, whatever its source.
Audience #2: Influencers and thought leaders
The second group comprises people who are influencers and thought leaders in your own space, but not potential clients.
Why bother with these people? Because if they get to know you and recognize your expertise, they will likely share and spread the content you publish. When a post of yours is given the thumbs up by an influencer, it makes you look good, acts as an endorsement and brings you to the attention of other people.
Over time, influencers can then go on to mention you to people who really are potential clients.
If you are going to target influencers, you need to aim above your own pay grade. There's not much benefit to making friends with people at the same level as you.
On the other hand, you don't want to aim too high either. At least, not at first.
For example, if you are in the marketing space, you might feel tempted to reach out to Guy Kawasaki. Well, good luck with that. He has almost 1.5 million followers on Twitter alone. He's going to be too busy to notice you among the tens of thousands of other people who hope he will notice them first.
Find a middle ground… above your pay grade, but not up in the stratosphere.
You can be social in the real world too
These tips for using social media work in real life too. You can build networks of prospective clients and influencers by attending events and conferences.
When you get there, do the same as you'd do on social media.
Be a source of valuable information to prospective clients, and attract the interest of influencers.
Truth be told, while social media is a great tool for connection with people at a distance, meeting those people face to face is a great deal more powerful.
But either way – as I said at the outset – use your time and energy wisely.
Make sure you're connecting with people who can offer you real value, either today or at some point in the future.

Tyler, the Creator returns with not one, but two new singles ahead of his third solo album Flower Boy. Whilst he's hardly been quiet since the 2015 release Cherry Bomb, this is the first solo material we've had from the man himself in what feels like an eternity.
Of the two singles, if '911/Mr Lonely' is the tender and softer side of Tyler, then it only makes sense that 'Who Dat Boy' was released simultaneously to remind us all that Tyler can and will absolutely destroy the mic without hesitation. The ominous echoing, horror movie-esque intro has the blood pumping in a reflex manner. Darkly-tinged beats are familiar territory for Tyler, the Creator but this screams 'I'm fucking back' in a way that hasn't had me so pumped since they brought back blue smarties. This makes 'WHAT THE FUCK RIGHT NOW' – also featuring A$AP Rocky conveniently enough – look positively mellow. This makes 'CHERRY BOMB' sound like a hymn and 'DEATHCAMP' seem appropriate to sing to your child to get them to sleep.
A$AP Rocky's verse is straight up fire and the vocals in the hook are just explosive. It's a feature that is warranted, and A$AP proves his worth on the track with an effortless and laid back flair. With an equally disturbing and wonderfully weird music video to match, one which is quite visually arresting and cinematic in many ways, it's Tyler being the creative genius that he always is.
Utterly inimitable and unflinchingly himself, Tyler shows us that despite having his fingers in more than a few honey pots, with features on some big name tracks recently, the annual Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, the continuation of his hugely successful clothing line, festival performances and general franchise related business, he hasn't lost his spirit or raw power to captivate and blow the roof off. If this and the sister track '911/Mr Lonely' are anything to go by, then sign me the fuck up for Flower Boy. The world eagerly awaits your next move, Tyler.

At the sunset of Hollywood's studio era, Audrey Hepburn joined forces with Givenchy, and a new kind of chic was born.
Right from its witty opening number, Think Pink, Stanley Donen's musical declares its faith in fashion's transformative power. It's not-too-subtly based on real fashionistas – Kay Thompson plays a decidedly Diana Vreeland-esque magazine editor, while Fred Astaire is a photographer modelled on snapper doyen Richard Avedon. Audrey Hepburn is their creation: a doe-eyed bookworm whose 'funny face' is declared the latest look. Swept off to model in Paris, she emerges triumphantly, echoing the pose of Samothrace's Winged Victory statue. Lulled by a cocktail of Givenchy and Gershwin, she also falls for Astaire.
Funny Face captures both cinema and fashion at key transitional moments. Hepburn's gamine, bohemian style overtakes the mannered elegance of 1950s supermodel Dovima; Twiggy, Anna Karina, Jean Shrimpton and Jane Birkin would follow in Hepburn's ballet-flat footsteps. Meanwhile, legendary costume designer Edith Head – who'd previously won an Oscar for the Givenchy gowns she picked out for Sabrina (Billy Wilder, 1954) – here grants the couturier his own starring role.
"Très cool … Donen's musical remains a gloriously aesthetic expression of the radiance and glamour so intrinsic to the allure of cinema. Audrey Hepburn and Gershwin will never go out of fashion." – The Lumiere Reader

-Prophet Nigel Gaisie has predicted the death of another popular musician
-Prophet Gaisie says God revealed to him that the death will occur by the end of March 2018
The Founder and leader of the True Fire Prophetic Ministry (TFPWM), Prophet Nigel Gaisie, who claims to have predicted the tragic death of Ebony Reigns, is out with another prophecy again.
This time around, he is claiming that another musician will die before the end of the first quarter of the year.
Failing to mention a specific name, he only stated that the musician in question was very popular.
"The lord told me that a musician will die soon before the fall of this year's quarter. That musician is extremely popular. However, I will not mention the name," he is quoted by Accra-based Hitz FM as saying.

If our calculations are correct, then it means the prediction should come to pass latest by the end of March.
Prophet Gaisie has become quite popular when a video surfaced after the death of Ebony and two other people, Franky Kuri and Francis Atsu Vondee in a gory accident on the Sunyani-Kumasi Highway on February 8, suggested he foresaw the singer's fate.
He followed up his 'prediction' with another claim that two people conspired to kill Ebony.

Prophet Gaisie's 'prophecies' have, however, irked the family of Ebony, especially her father, Nana Opoku Kwarteng, who has hinted of a possible suit against him.
But he seems unperturbed as he has vowed "continue to make prophecies because that's my assignment for this generation."
Apart from his prophecies of deaths, he is also known to have predicted that former President John Mahama will return to power in 2020 if the NDC selects him as their presidential candidate.

When a tooth is fractured, severely damaged by decay or has a large filling, a crown (also called a cap) is often placed. A crown strengthens the tooth, protects the remaining tooth structure and can improve appearances. An individual crown will normally take two appointments. The first appointment (approximately 1 hour long) the tooth is prepared to accept the crown. All old fillings, decay and unsupported enamel are removed to insure a solid foundation for a new crown. Sometimes too much natural tooth is missing and this creates insufficient support. In this instance we must build up the tooth (core or post) in order to properly support the future crown. At the end of the first appointment a temporary will be placed.
At the second appointment (30 minutes long – 2 to 3 weeks later) the crown is tried on for fit, shape and color. The bite is then adjusted and if all is satisfactory the crown is cemented to the tooth.
The location of the tooth, the intensity of the bite and the desires of the patient are all factors used in deciding which type of crown is best suited for you. A crown can be all gold, porcelain fused to gold or all porcelain.
The life expectancy of a crown is 5 to 15 years. This is directly proportional to problems with gum tissues and the dangers of decay. The patient's home maintenance (flossing, mouth rinses and brushing with fluoridated toothpaste) is essential for the success of the crown.
What is a CEREC CROWN?
