FillPerfect Automatic Form Filler Speeds Up Online Job Hunts
One of the main functions of computers is to automate rote tasks, yet the task of filling out the same basic information over and over seems to be part and parcel of using computers--or at least, the Internet. Practically every Web site wants your name, rank, and serial number before it will let you do anything. 2424 Software's FillPerfect Automatic Form Filler ($25, 15-day free trial) aims to automate and simplify that task, and goes far beyond the relatively simple autofill some browsers offer.
To begin with, FillPerfect allows you to create any number of profiles (and lets you copy data from one to start another, so you only need to tweak things as needed), and each profile is fairly rich in data. You can store multiple employers, schools, references, phone numbers, and more. A completely filled-out profile would be a treasure trove for any identity thief, but FillPerfect promises all data is stored locally and nothing is transmitted to the Internet but the data entered into forms, which you can see and verify before you click "send." Multiple profiles allow you to fill out different data for different needs; you may have one preferred e-mail address for job applications and another for subscriptions to mailing lists, or you may have a set of references for your work in one field and a different set for another.
FillPerfect is heavily focused on job seekers. It includes quick links to sites such as Monster.com, and many of the pages and fields in the profile allow you to specify such items as your preferred working hours and desired salary. FillPerfect is useful to anyone who finds themselves re-entering their personal data over and over, but its focus on employment data helps give it a well defined target audience.
In my experience, FillPerfect worked pretty well. It's not possible to test every site and every form, but in the places I visited, the Autofill button worked correctly for nearly all fields in which I'd filled in data. Those fields it failed to fill were highlighted in yellow, making it easy to see what needed to be done by hand. Further, even when it does not automatically fill the fields, FillPerfect allows you to easily drag-and-drop data elements from the side bar to a waiting field.
I'm always nervous about having so much personal data stored in one single file, whether or not it's shared over the Internet. The data is not encrypted (you do not need to enter a password to load up FillPerfect), so it is exposed to any security hole or other user on your computer. This is true of all data, of course, but having so many eggs in one basket makes it a tempting target. In addition, I experienced a few user interface quirks (vanishing controls, which re-appeared on restart), which were not fatal but which were still annoying. And FillPerfect is Internet Explorer-only; I prefer Firefox (and my time spent using IE to test FillPerfect reminded me why).
Whether FillPerfect is worth it for you is really a factor of time. Think about how much your time is worth per hour, and about how long it takes to fill out a form, and then consider how many forms you're likely to need to fill over the next year. If this works out to more than twenty-five dollars, FillPerfect is probably a good investment.

So, I really want to show you these jeans that I picked up from ASOS last month. Excuse the lack of face but let's just focus on the jeans rn. They're called "authentic straight leg jeans" on the site and I am in love with them. We're all trying to that Levi's 501 kinda vibe, and seeing as I haven't found my perfect pair of 501s yet I'm happy wearing these for now. I love anything with a wide leg, and these have that wide look but (Imo) remain flattering. Not that I give a shit about "man repelling" but hey, if you give a shit then you're in luck (pls don't give a shit). Styled up with this lovely lil striped crop from Pull&Bear and my ever wonderful silver loafers.

Ironman amputee brings inspiring story to Oshkosh event Sometimes we need to look to someone else for extra inspiration. Sarah Reinertsen, recently named the winner of the 2006 ESPY award for best female athlete with a disability, easily fills the bill. In October, the San Diego woman became the first above-the-knee amputee to become an Ironman, completing the daunting Kona, Hawaii, triathlon course in 15 hours, 5 minutes. Reinertsen, who was recently picked to join this falls latest round of The Amazing Race on CBS, is the special guest and featured speaker for the Aug. 13 Oshkosh Triathlon, put on by Midwest Sports Events. Reinertsen was born with a left leg that was deformed by a condition called proximal femoral focal deficiency. At 7, her leg was amputated. She says that her life changed several years later when she went to a track meet for kids with disabilities, and she wound up winning her 100-meter race. After that, there was no looking back. Reinertsen has gone on to do seven marathons (New York City 1997 and 98, Los Angeles in 1998 and 99, Millennium New Zealand in 2000, London 2002 and Boston 2004). Shes the world record holder in the half marathon and the marathon for above-knee amputee women. As a national spokeswoman for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, her message to those with physical challenges and others is that when a person believes, they can do anything.

Dragonair will upgrade its flagship website – www.dragonair.com – over the weekend of 22 and 23 June, providing an enhancement to a more advanced and powerful online platform that will enable further upgrades to the airline's online and mobile services in the near future. It will also give the website a fresh look and feel, with enhanced navigation and an improved site structure.
With the growing demand for online and mobile services, together with significant changes in customer preferences, a more sophisticated technology platform is required to allow the airline to redesign and roll out new services as quickly and efficiently as possible to meet customers' need. The upcoming upgrade will provide a significantly improved platform that will enable Dragonair to keep pace with changing travel trends and consumer preferences and provide it with the ability to further enhance its online and mobile offerings in the years to come.
Dragonair website and its corresponding mobile site will be unavailable as the upgrade takes place. The outage hours will be from 23:00 hours Hong Kong time (15:00 GMT) on Saturday, 22 June until 13:00 hours Hong Kong time (05:00 GMT) on Sunday, 23 June. Online services offered through the website and mobile site, including online booking, Online Check-In, the Manage My Booking service and Mobile Boarding Pass retrieval, will be unavailable throughout the outage.
Dragonair will operate its normal flight schedule on the weekend of 22 and 23 June as the upgrade will not have any impact on aircraft systems. Airport services and facilities and Reservations and Service Centre hotlines will also be unaffected by the website outage. All personal and transactional data will be safeguarded during and after the upgrade.
Passengers travelling during the stoppage period are advised to bring a copy of their electronic ticket or boarding pass to the airport. Passengers can check in online and pre-print their boarding passes 48 hours before their flight departure and until 23:00 hours Hong Kong time (15:00 GMT) on Saturday, 22 June, but not during the actual stoppage period. No increase in queuing times at the airport is anticipated, but passengers may still wish to arrive at the airport earlier than normal.
In the week following the transition, Dragonair's worldwide call centres may experience higher-than-normal call volumes. Should that happen, the airline will do everything possible to minimise inconvenience. Passengers' patience and understanding will be appreciated.
Leading up to the transition, passengers are encouraged to visit Dragonair's website at www.dragonair.com for more details.
During the cutover weekend, passengers may visit Dragonair's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/dragonair) and Twitter feed (www.twitter.com/dragonair) to get updated information including the status of flights. Passengers in Mainland China may also visit Weibo (www.weibo.com/dragonair) and RenRen (http://page.renren.com/dragonair). Passengers can also contact the airline's eService Hotline at +852 2747-2200 (Hong Kong) or +800 2747-2200 (worldwide toll free) during the outage.
Dragonair, an affiliate member of oneworld, is a Hong Kong-based airline operating a fleet of 39 passenger aircraft and serving 45 regional destinations, including 22 cities in Mainland China. Dragonair has been recognised for its product and service quality, and was named the "Best Regional Airline" at the TTG Travel Awards 2012, and voted for two consecutive years "World's Best Regional Airline" in the annual World Airline Survey run by Skytrax in 2010 and 2011. Dragonair is part of the Cathay Pacific Group, providing seamless connectivity for passengers to more than 170 cities around the globe.

Yes, this is one hour. I haven't watched it all yet, but it's awesome. Just watch along and enjoy.
But what I did see is a BRZ STI that doesn't exist, as well as a picture of the WRX concept that says it's the new WRX. Whoops.

The Tortoise Welcomes You!
Jewelry || Beads || Cabochons || Rough
Buy Tortoise Turquoise Jewelry
Tortoise Turquoise
Tortoise Turquoise is mint to emerald green and goes all the way to a caramel color which is actually becomes Variscite. The unique coloration is the reason we named it Tortoise Turquoise, some rocks look like the shell of a Tortoise.
Tortoise Turquoise runs in black manganese. There are small to giant nuggets which are found in a clay type material as well as thin to wide vein material that is encrusted in walls of manganese.
A very large pecentage of the material has black manganese spiderwebbing, especially in the veined material. We believe the webbing is caused from pre-historic plant roots as the native plant found in this canyon has roots that look like spiderwebs. We think, as the plant died, the roots became voids in ground, the water carried the manganese minerals downward, which ultimately became black spiderweb.
View our Tortoise Turquoise Mining Video
The Tortoise Turquoise Mine
The Tortoise Turquoise mine sits above 5,000 feet elevation in a secluded part of Midwestern Nevada. We have occasional visitors to the mine in the form of Wild Burrows, Snakes, Birds, and Lizards. Native vegetation includes some beautiful cactus, Mormon tea, and tumble weed. The climate is a high-desert, hot and dry! In the winter there is a reasonable amount of snow. We will be mining the Tortoise most months of the year, rain, snow or hail. We are sorry to not give out more info as to the location of the mine, but we are not letting out too much info about this mine, due to the overwhelming piracy accruing in Nevada right now. When we hire a few hermits to guard the mine, then we will let more info out. :-) We have had to resort to back filling every time we mine to ensure that nobody steals.

Oil spill tracker
A fantastic interactive by the New York Times which allows the user to track the spill from the initial blowout
But the detail is also in the graphic reporting...
About the Oil Slick Areas Shown on the Map
The "probable extent" of the oil slick is an estimate by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of where oil is mostly likely to go based on wind and ocean current forecasts, as well as analysis of aerial photography and satellite imagery. The "observed extent" show areas where oil was visible on the surface of the water during aerial surveys of the Gulf. The observed extents are not available every day. The extents may vary widely from day to day because of changes in wind patterns and ocean currents.
But also check the 'estimate' of oil spilled in the chart, on the right of the interactive...

Fantastic post Veloria. I've noticed the same thing about bike parts. When finding reviews for new cassettes or deraileurs or chains, some of the things people say dont take into account their abuse.ReplyDelete
At the same time though, I want to read reviews by people who ride hard and are conscious of it. They seem more realistic.
Yes, I don't at all mean to suggest that reviewers ought to change their style, only that readers should be aware of the many layers of subjectivity they bring. But this same subjectivity is also what makes them alive and interesting.ReplyDelete
I think it's very helpful to check out the opinion of others before purchasing pretty much any expensive item. However, even a well-written review is going to be a collection of value judgements. I think any reader should be aware of this and perhaps make sure they cross-reference reviews to get a broader spectrum of opinion.ReplyDelete
Even then, this should only be the first step taken in buying something as subjective as a bicycle. Which is why I still think there's something to be said for finding a LBS you can develop a comfortable relationship with and that will cater for your individual 'type' of cycling.
Not wishing to sound harsh Velouria, anyone who purchases a bicycle on the strength of one review is probably asking for trouble and I certainly don't think that you should feel any guilt. Your reviews are always informative and interesting. However, I can't remember your having written in any of them, "Having read this, you should now leap out and spend your money based on my personal opinion!" Please keep reviewing . . . guilt-free :)
I think you do a fair job at reviewing bikes. You list the pros and the cons. I wouldn't worry about others' disappointmnnets. Before buying a bike the real test is to take it out for a reasonable length ride and to consult more than one review of the bike. Keep up the good job.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 13, 2011 at 9:24 AM
Love, or dislike, of a bicycle does evolve over time I have found and it is very difficult to do a review of a bike where that is not a huge influencing factor.ReplyDelete
This is a very thought provoking post and puts into words what I felt when writing a review of one of my bikes recently, I would hate for someone to read it and think that was the bike for them, then to buy it and find otherwise. Bike reviewing is a lot harder than it appears to be. It is all so subjective. Love of a bike can distort our perceptions of it as can a bad experience on a bike.
From the reader's perspective, I also find it difficult to say whether I would buy a bike based on a review, yet it is naturally what we do when deciding which bike to buy. Reviews can sometimes leave more questions unanswered than they answer.
This is why I lament the ability to test drive bakfiets and trikes here in Boston. I would be extremely reluctant to buy an expensive bike without actually trying it, preferably for a couple of days.ReplyDelete
Good points for all of us to consider. I guess it's why I think a reader has to take a blog post with a grain of salt {not at all saying your posts aren't valuable, but it's important to keep in mind that it is of course, your experience}. To me, it's a nice jumping off point to go and explore for myself, or it gives me a rough idea of what it might feel like... as you said though, it will be different for every person. I don't think that you {or any blogger} should feel guilty about sharing thoughts with others though. I know I wouldn't want to know that someone bought something solely based on my review, and I would likely have similar emotions to yours if that happened, but you honestly cannot be held responsible for another persons decision. Truly, blogs can often be one of the few ways someone is introduced to a particular style, brand, part, etc. I'm sure there are many who have been helped by your reviews (myself included), so I think it finds a way of balancing itself out.ReplyDelete
Thanks for an excellent reminder to us all. :O)
I seldom pay any attention to any bicycle reviews unless the reviewer notes a design or manufacturing concern that needs to be corrected to ensure the bicycles safety.ReplyDelete
I know none of us are joined at the hip so what we experience with any bicycle is unique to us alone. To think otherwise could get both disappointing and expensive.
Very accurate. I'd say the general level of experience and type of cycling are the major killers in people's preception/understanding of reviews.ReplyDelete
Yet, nothing prevents you from putting a little discalimer or "Please note" at the beginning of your review posts.
It will not solve the problem, but at least people will know were you're (or were) at, at the time you wrote the review.
It may not be obvious but the evolution you went through has been pretty major and unless someone is here on a daily basis...
From beginning Pashleys to centuries and pacelines, I find there is ground to the comments you have received.

So what you are saying is that "your mileage may vary based on ...."ReplyDelete
Maybe you should include a link to this post to every review. That way, people who don't want to take ownership of their decisions can't pin it on you.
interesting! Yes I have read reviews of bikes that I have ridden and it's been interesting to see if I feel similarly or not to the reviewer.ReplyDelete
and also when reading your reviews I feel like we may percieve bikes somewhat similarly which is why I enjoy your take on things. Of course I still want your opinion on the bikes I have ridden most and I feel like that will tell me if we actually do perceive a bike the same....
There are many bicycles I could have ordered online based on positive internet reviews. However, all the reviews in the world can't substitute for a basic test-ride so if I couldn't find one in the flesh, I didn't consider it. This drastically cut down my bicycle choices but ultimately any review of any product online is always a guide rather than gospel and as consumers it's our responsibility to choose how informed we are prior to purchase. Doesn't matter if it's a toaster or a bicycle.ReplyDelete
It was awfully wonderful of you to turn negative reader mail into an educational post, and not the ranting sort of "Take responsibility for your own damn decisions!" sort of thing. I would have been tempted to do the latter, at least inside my head. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to do such thorough reviews and writing a post like this.
Anon 12:21 - Good idea, I'll do that.ReplyDelete
Cherilyn - I don't think it's negative per se, just human instinct. And I admit I've had similar feelings toward other blogs. I was disappointed when ecovelo sold their Pashleys for instance. I also think a lot of it has to do with people really wanting there to be the perfect solution, the perfect bike - whereas in reality such a thing does not exist.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 13, 2011 at 4:28 PM
Perfect bikes DO exist. I've owned 20 bikes, another 20 passed my hands briefly. Maybe another 20 ridden long enough for a review.ReplyDelete
The '73 Cinelli was perfect. The '63 Rickert is presently perfect. The Eastman DL-1 is near perfect. Some of the most imperfect - say the Moulton - evoke fond memories.
Readers should learn to read. Writers need to write. This reader thinks V is a fine writer, and improving. If writers needed liability insurance in the event their readers did something foolish with their words, none would ever take up the craft.
I enjoy reading your reviews, V. and, as my mother would say, window shopping cost you nothing.ReplyDelete
Those who have owned one or several bikes have learned what does and doesn't work for them. For those who are in the market for a first bike, reading reviews and test riding each model can help them narrow down their choices, but it's in the owning, riding and caring for a bike that they will learn its strengths and shortcomings. I would advise anyone who is buying their first bike (or first in a long time) to start with a model that has been in production for a good number of years and has a track record of good reviews. I would also advise them not to break the bank on it, because once they learn what works or doesn't work for them, they will need to begin saving for a new bike.
"f writers needed liability insurance..."ReplyDelete
Oh god, what a terrible thought!
It's true enough that a cross-country biker won't even review a 3-speed city bike and that some blogs won't even consider reviewing less-than-5000$ bikes but there's also the problem of not finding any (serious) review anywhere on the web for some not particularly rare bikes ; I'm thinking of the "Marin Inverness" or the "Globe Roll", for instance.ReplyDelete
I've noticed that as well. It's possible that people who ride "normal" bikes aren't sufficiently obsessive about bicycles to write reviews about them?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 13, 2011 at 9:32 PM
In fact I bought a Marin Inverness "fixed-gear" last week (my first bicycle since 30 years - I'm 65) and I was very satisfied with it for the first four days but then I started hearing strange metallic noises coming from the rear wheel. The mechanic re-aligned the wheel but the noise came back the next day ; I went back to the store and another mechanic re-aligned the wheel again. The same metallic noise came back the next day... After a polite discussion the owner of the store became impatient with me and in short he told me I was imagining things and that the bike was perfect. I phoned to Marin Bikes but no help from them since I live in Montréal. I searched the web but nobody seems to be experiencing this problem — or nobody writes about it.ReplyDelete
I sold the Inverness "as is" to a neighbor and now I was considering a Globe Roll 3 (I like pseudo-vintage bikes with white tires, etc.) but I didn't find any useful review on this bicycle. I'll take another chance with this one. Ainsi va la vie !
(I hope you don't mind my somewhat being off-topic.)
Great topic! All of those considerations are really important for people to remember when researching bikes online. Personal reviews are so helpful during the initial research/obsession part of bike shopping, but can never replace one's own personal experience with a bike. The most helpful part of bike reviews for me is the opportunity to see more photos and get more info about a bike than is ever available from the manufacturer. Especially helpful for me when researching which city/Dutch bike to buy were photos of people actually riding the various bikes. Reviews provide great bonus material. :)ReplyDelete
@ GilesReplyDelete
Would you mind telling what store it was?
Dottie wrote "The most helpful part of bike reviews for me is the opportunity to see more photos (...)".ReplyDelete
Did you notice that the photos often are different from the actual bicycle, even on manufacturer's sites? For instance all colors are not available in all countries, the brakes or wheels may not be identical, the bicycle may come with a pannier or not, etc.

I think this is an outstanding post. In addition to pointing out important features of ANY bike review, you are also acknowledge thatReplyDelete
"Having started this blog as a beginner, my preferences are in a constant state of evolution, making me an inherently untrustworthy reviewer"
I think that is a particularly important point for new readers. One of the paradoxes of Lovely Bike is that the site has all the visual hallmarks of having been written by an expert. It's very well written and illustrated. It is filled with links to "Bike Reviews" "Product Reviews" "Manufacturer's Profiles" etc. The site has attracted lots of commercial sponsors. New readers coming to the site see you designing bikes, doing test reports, collaborating with manufacturers, traveling to Interbike trade show. Because of all those trappings of expertise, many readers may not realize that you are actually a newish rider, and are still learning and experiencing many things for the first time yourself.
Whether you want to be viewed as an expert or not, your highly successful web presence means you are SEEN as an authority. That increases the impact of what you write, but also means that people may put undue weight on your temporary opinions, which are themselves rapidly changing as you gain more experience. Reader (and writer) beware.

I'll tell you the name by e-mail because I don't want to discredit this store for maybe my problem with them was an exception and not the rule.
d r h g i l l e s @ m e . c o m
I agree with all the points you made about what needs to be taken into consideration when reading bike reviews. But, at the same time I can understand the readers sense of betrayal too. Often times, people like to tell others that so-and-so wrote a great review, which helped them with their decision to buy the bicycle. In the end, the way I look at it, if they still like the bike--despite your new opinion--then your opinion really shouldn't matter, as long as they are still happy with the bike. But, if they agree with your opinion, and realize the bike is not right for them... well, there's always Craigslist :).ReplyDelete
Anon 3:08 - Very true, though to be fair I clearly state that I am a newish rider in the "About Me" page. If a reader thinks highly enough of this blog to value my opinions, surely they ought to at least glance at the About page - at which point they would notice this information.ReplyDelete
I also think that the whole beginner vs experienced rider dichotomy is somewhat misleading, in that *everyone's* preferences and opinions change over time - sometimes radically. When cycling experts give advice, it is based on their (or the industry's) understanding of a concept at the time. As new information becomes available, they will often alter their recommendation.
Finally, just to point out that many people in the bicycle industry who do officially dispense advice have even less experience and knowledge than I do. I often overhear conversations in bike shops, where the salespeople or even mechanics feed customers misinformation. I also know framebuilders who got into cycling later than I did. They know how to build a particular kind of frame very well, but lack a wider base of knowledge.
All in all I think it's important to keep in mind that blogs are neither manuals nor advice columns, but are usually documentations of one individual's experience/growth/journey/development/ whatever you want to call it. Any review posted on a blog should be interpreted in that context.
Big decisions, including purchases, are made irrationally. Buyers remorse is also emotional. How exhausting! No wonder they blame you. Even if you claim caveat emptor.ReplyDelete
I don't want to make it seem like this is a frequent thing or like I get "blamed" per se. More like some people get nervous when I introduce ambiguity into ideas they were hoping would be more clear cut. Like, with my Rivendell - I thought it was fast a year and a half ago, and it was - compared to any other bike I'd ridden prior to it. Since then I've ridden racing bikes and it no longer seems like a fast bike. Some readers are unable to process this change in perspective, and they interpret it as my saying "never mind, the bike is not as good as I thought" even though that's not what I'm saying at all.ReplyDelete
Anyway, overthinking this stuff can make one paralised with doubt about expressing their impressions and opinions, which I think would be a shame. The way I see it, the reviewer's responsibility is to provide disclosure, while the reader's responsibility is exercise interpretation.
- AnonymousSeptember 14, 2011 at 9:32 PM
I learned from reading your blog that all types of bicycles and any given bicycle are a compromise and that people change over the years. That being said I still would value your opinion more than the opinion of many... because (but not only) you are never "pontificating" on any subject.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 15, 2011 at 10:17 AM
One key thing a review should provide is information. For example, toe overlap is a fact. The interpretation - whether it is a concern - is up to the reader. At Bicycle Quarterly, we try to provide information, and leave the evaluation to the reader. Everybody has different preferences, which is why we'd never select a winner in a "3-bike shootout" or crown a "Bike of the Year."ReplyDelete
Of course, every reviewer has preferences. There is no way around it. For example, we make no secret of the fact that we prefer bikes that respond well to spirited riding. If you share this preference, then Bicycle Quarterly's reviews will be most useful to you. However, even if you don't, you'll get useful information on whether the bike is well-made, or whether parts fall off over the course of our 200-mile test.
Your evolution is still too slow for me: I am waiting for you to tire of your Gazelle and put it up for sale....let me know if it is ever eclipsed in your affections by a younger, sexier bike.ReplyDelete
: ) Nice try. The Gazelle is staying, particularly considering the things I've just seen at Interbike (the new Gazelles seem to be losing more and more lugs every season).ReplyDelete
i think it's ok because your subjectivity is clearly part of it, it all reads like an experience, rather than some expert opinion. though, to be fair, i felt a bit queezy when i read a comparison of carradice saddlebags to some modern knock-off, and wondered where you were coming from. on the other hand, i just fitted some belleville bars and reverse levers to a bike after reading about it here, and it's just groovy..ReplyDelete

we have a cross-platform middleware product which we typically end up customizing/bug fixing on a per client basis. In some cases, providing updates as often as once/twice per week.
We have a lot of trouble efficiently managing and releasing the updates to our clients.
I've done some digging, but I can't find anything to specifically address this problem.
Can anyone share their experiences - how do you deal with this scenario, or do you know of a good software delivery cms?

#include <memory>
Also, I had to change #include <raknet/(whatever)> to #include <RakNet/(whatever)> After those changes I get this error, and I can not seem to fix it:

Hi Patrick, first of all, thanks for the feedback. I compiled the demo-1.1 branch now and fixed any issues I encountered.
Did you install all the dependency debs? It seems like you are missing the CEGUI library. Check out https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ ... structions as well as https://sourceforge.net/projects/zeroballistics/files/ (external dependencies/deb) for download of pre-compiled debs.
regards christian
I just noticed the demo-1.1 branch probably isn't is what you want. I removed it to avoid future confusion.
To compile the version as used in the downloadable beta demo, you have to check out https://zeroballistics.svn.sourceforge. ... ches/v1.10.
In that case, you also have to install a different flavour of the RakNet library. I uploaded a precompiled deb (https://sourceforge.net/projects/zeroba ... b/download) and updated the build instructions (https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ ... structions).

Sonic has been one of the most popular characters in videogames ever since he was invented in the early '90s. But Sonic is also been one of the most over-milked mascots ever, and most of the blue hedgehog's recent games do little to remind us of the great titles Sega spoiled us with in Sonic's glory days. Sonic Unleashed, which we had the opportunity to put our hands on at the Games Convention in Leipzig, looks like a good game. Sonic fans might finally be seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.
The game is split into day and night levels, and the gameplay is very different between the two parts. Actually, it felt like we were playing two different games. The developers explained that the game will explore "the Yin and Yang of Sonic," his good and bad sides, his traditional nature opposite to something darker that appears only at night.
The daytime levels are based on traditional speed. You will see Sonic running as fast as he can (which is pretty fast!) and using his new ability to boost his speed up to 300mph, with a pretty nice blur effect when it happens. Our favorite hedgehog will be able to grind rails, as usual, and to quickly interact with the environment while he runs towards the end of the level. We saw him speeding on water and jumping on rotating platforms, and also triggering some "quick timer events" while running or sliding. For example, you'll be asked to quickly push some buttons in time to avoid obstacles while running, or to choose the right rail to slide on (in a very similar way to some of the craziest levels in Rayman 3).
The nighttime levels are not all completed yet, but we were able to play one of them at the Games Convention too. As we previously said, the night is very different from the day. If the day is about speed, the night is about fighting. In fact, Dr. Eggman used the emeralds to place a curse on Sonic, so that each night he changes into a lycanthrope. A "werehog," if you want to be specific.
Sonic the werehog can't rely on his usual speed anymore, but he can fight against hordes of enemies thanks to his super strength and to arms that can now stretch in order to grab ledges, avoid dangerous falls, or reach higher platforms. Of course, you can also use your stretchable arms to grab and smash enemies with great satisfaction. The gameplay in the night is very different from what we are used to seeing in a Sonic game. The control system changes from the day, and the gameplay feels like a combination of Ratchet & Clank and Dynasty Warrior. You will have to explore, smash objects and bash enemies with nice combos to proceed.
Both day and night levels are based on real locations, the first ones on European countries, the later ones on a Chinese environment, with a very atmospheric reproduction of the Great Wall. The visuals are nice and crisp, with sweet effects, and the new Hedgehog Engine does its work just fine in bringing Sonic to life on PS3 and Xbox 360. The game will come also out on Wii, with the same engine but lesser graphics.
Graphics are good, controls are perfect, but the framerate needs some more adjustment. During the daytime levels we played in Leipzig it sometimes fell. Still, we're pretty sure that Sega will finally give us a good Sonic game again, and we'll know for sure when Unleashed hits the shelves this fall.

The U.S. Navy, along with the rest of the armed forces and federal government, was stuck in limbo between the fiscal cliff deal and looming sequestration. Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan Greenert warned that things would get worse: The Fleet would be forced to stop "nearly all non-deployed operations," a move that would "ultimately prevent carrier strike groups and amphibious ready groups from deploying."1
For many months, the service chiefs and civilian secretaries, along with the rest of the defense and intelligence communities, painstakingly detailed how budget cuts would undermine readiness. In April, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee, "Sequestration jeopardizes our nation's safety and security, and this jeopardy increases over time," adding that "in my almost 50 years in intelligence, I do not recall a period where we've encountered a more diverse array of threats around the world."2
By 1 October, the U.S. government, over a budget impasse, had shut down operations, directly affecting the Department of Defense and the Navy. How the government found itself in this precarious state is nothing short of ironic. Nearly three years earlier, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen had declared the soaring national debt to be the biggest threat to national security. Cost-savings initiatives made a preemptive effort to avoid the worst effects of forced cuts. However, once the proverbial ax of sequestration had fallen, U.S. national-security organizations had to re-evaluate their tactical posture once again. Most notably, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel ordered a comprehensive strategic choices and management review that would redefine DOD's priorities and structure under various budget scenarios. The partial government shutdown, which lasted for 16 days, added further confusion and concern.
In the meantime, some might argue that the best advice to follow may be the British World War II slogan, "Keep Calm and Carry On." During this initial triage phase, it's probably too soon to estimate the full impact of budget cuts and strategic reassessment on national security. This isn't the first (or last) time national-security organizations have faced budgetary or mission challenges. However, there's always hope—albeit extraordinary—that, necessity being the mother of invention, this challenge will yield a number of innovative solutions.
Planning for Obstacles
The Pentagon, the Capitol, and the White House may only be a few miles apart, but each has its own agendas, goals, and timetables. Their only common ground often seems to be the constant struggle over resources, strategy, and reality. The result has been an ongoing systemic disconnect between ends and means, exacerbated by ambiguity and misperception.
Strategically, ambiguity is a double-edged sword. On one hand, the lack of specificity can provide maneuverability, flexibility, and anonymity. On the other hand, it can obfuscate purpose, accountability, and assessment. The lack of clearly articulated priorities can cause resources, from financial to intellectual, to be compartmentalized or poorly allocated, and efficiencies from potential interagency cooperation to be forfeited. Even worse is the widely held belief that the "tensions generated by cultural differences, turf, and competition for limited resources will always be part of the interagency process."3
Furthermore, ambiguity can lead to vague, or worse, unattainable goals. National-security agendas can be hijacked by opportunists or by hot-button issues, such as the recent fiscal cliff, government shutdown, and debt crisis. More often, the focus drifts to the symptoms instead of the causes of national-security threats. "These days, our goals are less about stopping bad things from happening and more about limiting the effects when they do happen—whether it's creating computer networks that can resume operation after a cyber attack, developing homeland security programs to accelerate recovery after a terrorist strike, or helping new democracies withstand violent insurgencies."4
Whether a result of intelligence gaps, lack of situational awareness, or hubris, another key vulnerability is perception—and misperception. Because of its relatively successful track record, the United States generally believes that it will not only overcome national-security challenges, but that things will ultimately work out in its favor. But this "optimism bias" also creates opportunities for underestimated adversaries to catch the United States off-guard by unexpected means, such as the 9/11 attacks. Forgetting that the enemy is persistently executing a strategy of asymmetric warfare can be fatal, as the April Boston Marathon bombings demonstrated.
Just as dangerous is the failure to anticipate trends, behaviors, and effects; the inability to learn from experience; and not being able to adapt one's capabilities and institutional constructs to the threat environment. And threats that were once tangible (kinetic weapons and damage) are now increasingly elusive. Many of the larger threats to U.S. security—the budget and debt crisis, cyber attacks, aggressive nuclear proliferation, and transnational terrorism—don't seem to be taken seriously enough until it's too late. Consequently, the severity of these threats is, unfortunately, rarely matched by the urgency to counter them.
While not reassuring, it is prudent to expect these conditions or obstacles and plan for them. The American national-security system, it would seem, was not built to handle the plethora of threats—asymmetrical and conventional—that it currently faces, and the several institutional challenges do not appear to be changing for the better any time soon. Nor is the hope for a fully operative, collaborative, and effective interagency process likely to become reality in the near future.
The Evolution of Naval Power
When the Continental Navy was established in late 1776, its purpose was to disrupt British supplies and capture ships to help finance the revolutionary cause. Expected to play a modest role, the small fleet was crucial in helping America gain its independence. Several decades later, it was naval involvement in the Barbary Wars that established the young country's prominence in the world. The Navy's role in national security and force projection has grown ever since.
The Navy is central to U.S. national and global security. Waterways, especially sea lanes, are vital to transportation and commerce. Nearly half of U.S. foreign trade is seaborne. Communications (underwater cables), energy (transoceanic pipelines), smuggling (including human), piracy, anti-terrorism, humanitarian aid, and even the environment are all within the scope of maritime missions. In light of this, one thing is clear: Every major national-security strategy under consideration today requires significant naval presence.
While "Operation Neptune Spear" sounds more like a deep-sea fishing trip, it was the name given to the mission—with Navy SEALs on point—that finally took down Osama bin Laden. Special operations have become increasingly attractive for their tactical agility and effectiveness. Michael A. Sheehan, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-intensity Conflict, reported to the House Armed Services Committee in April that "the Defense Department will continue to sculpt innovative, small-footprint, low-cost solutions to achieve defense goals and that the special operations community is ideally tailored, structured, and trained for its mission."5 The Navy SEALs, as part of that community and command, have already proven many times over to be successful in that role.
The arrival of the USS Freedom (LCS-1) in Singapore in April was a clear indication that the United States was committed to maintaining a strong presence in the Asia-Pacific region to ensure stability.6 The ongoing pivot toward Asia recognizes growing activity and tension in the area, and assumes a move away from extended land-based conflicts. By 2020, 60 percent of the Navy's Fleet will be deployed to the Pacific. Four new U.S. littoral combat ships will be stationed by Singapore, while Indonesia has plans to buy a broad range of American hardware and take part in joint maneuvers.7 Strong military relations with Japan and South Korea, along with increased rhetoric from North Korea, suggest that many aspects of the Asian pivot will be protected from budget cuts.
The pivot is reinforced by the emerging Air-Sea Battle (ASB) concept, which according to the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review aims to address how air and naval forces will integrate capabilities across air, sea, land, space, and cyberspace to counter growing challenges to U.S. freedom of action. Although the operational details are reportedly still being developed, the strategy is clearly aimed at deterring China and reassuring regional allies.
Even with sequestration and Secretary Hagel's strategic review, ASB retains momentum. According to the Air-Sea Battle office, "Having smaller budget authority does not change the validity of [ASB's] ideas and actions for force development, although it may slow [ASB's] implementation."8 Further proof that ASB has traction is that the U.S. Army, while skeptical about the concept, is "developing its own Joint Concept for Entry Operations that envisions amphibious, airborne, and air assault operations to gain and maintain inland access to the adversary's territory."9 After all, imitation (or, perhaps, "parallel conceptualizing") is the sincerest form of flattery.
It's doubtful that any country could match American naval might. But when China put its first aircraft carrier into service in 2012, it seemed America's supremacy at sea was to be tested. The increasing frequency of such challenges will ensure that the U.S. Navy will always have a major role in America's global strategy—a strategy that must have a forward-deployable sea-power focus.
Champions and Campaigns
At the turn of the 20th century, President Theodore Roosevelt realized two things: First, America's Fleet had to grow to protect U.S. interests abroad, and two, it had to be very big. After battling congressional naysayers and other obstacles, Roosevelt pushed for the creation of the "Great White Fleet," which consisted of four squadrons of warships manned by 14,000 sailors and Marines. The Fleet made its debut in 1907 in grand fashion—a 43,000-mile, 14-month world tour with 20 port calls on six continents—and is still considered to be one of the greatest peacetime achievements of the U.S. Navy.10 Such a move and display today might seem ostentatious, wasteful, or even threatening. However, the importance of the Navy in U.S. national security and foreign policy would have taken much longer to establish without Roosevelt's robust and effective advocacy.
But an advocacy role today would have to be a campaign with momentum and sustained support. Since Roosevelt, the closest the U.S. Navy has come to such a campaign was Ronald Reagan's platform to improve America's armed services and strengthen its strategic retaliatory capabilities in the 1980s. The "600-Ship Navy" plan bolstered the Navy with an "in with the old and new" program. Iowa-class battleships were recommissioned, while older ships were kept in service longer. At the same time, a large construction program was introduced, which accelerated production of Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. Unsurprisingly, both then-Chief of Naval Operations Admiral James Watkins and Secretary of the Navy John Lehman, were outspoken supporters. Lehman actively persuaded Congress and courted public support for the Maritime Strategy.
The fleet envisioned by the 600-Ship Navy strategy never quite reached that number. The enduring added value, however, was that "along with the new and improved ships, aircraft, and weapons came additional resources to recruit, retain, and train the professional sailors who were so essential to modern operations."11 The bottom line was that the strategy continued to ensure that the United States had the most powerful Fleet ever.
A century after Roosevelt and several decades after Reagan, the United States remains the world's sole superpower, but threats to both national and global security have grown in complexity and number. Yet the importance and priority of the Navy has not waned, and its role today is arguably even more important. Ships have historically been a symbol of strength and commitment, such as for blockades or use in "gunboat diplomacy." The capability to deploy a carrier strike group and establish a presence in a conflict zone sends a powerful message, be it of deterrence, reassurance, or defense.
Challenges like sequestration and shutdowns that exacerbate competition for resources have made reasserting that importance a priority. According to Politico's Darren Samuelsohn, "Agencies, companies and other groups are on the hunt for Capitol Hill allies with the juice to save their pet issues from the full force of the across-the-board cuts."12 However, while others may fight primarily for job security, the Navy and its sister Sea Services can make a clear argument for national security. With broad responsibilities—from projecting power to transportation to minesweeping and more—the Navy extends the mobility and operational access of the other services. Apart from its traditional roles, the Navy needs to be viewed as the linchpin of cross-domain dominance.
Frankly, there's a good reason for the abundance of lobbyists and celebrity spokesmen. Advocacy works. Leadership on Capitol Hill and within the administration will need to know the arguments and be convinced by the Navy community. Having credible champions with the political clout to navigate the imperfect government budgeting system would greatly advance the pivotal role of the Navy in the joint environment.
Political advocacy must be complemented and amplified by thought leadership. This calls for a focused campaign by all the knowledgeable and involved constituents. Just as Roosevelt had Alfred Thayer Mahan and his theories of sea power, an infusion of innovative strategies and fresh perspectives—discourse and debate—is regularly needed to keep the Navy ahead of the game. This would seem to be an important leadership role today for organizations like the U.S. Naval Institute, the Navy League, the Naval War College, and the Naval Postgraduate School, along with many others.
Understandably, it may be difficult for some to see how to promote that role in the current fiscal environment. So this is the challenge—to mount a "campaign with champions" to make the case. Coincidentally, it was the champion of the Great White Fleet, Theodore Roosevelt, who once said, "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." From the opportunities presented here, it seems the Navy has a lot more to work with than some might have assumed. So, will the next Theodore Roosevelt please step forward to lead the Navy's 21st century campaign?

I'm new to the boards & recently a part time resident of Tomahawk.
I have been fishing the Tomahawk area lakes & rivers for over 15 years. When I first started fishing Mohawksin I targeted Smallies & knew that it was good for the recource to release these fish back into the water for others to enjoy.
As time went on I discovered what a fantastic Muskie fishery this area is & ever since spend most of my time fishing for them. I have caught nearing a hundred muskies & 1 that went 50" x 25.5" I figured it went around pounds by how heavy she was. All were released by me & anyone I have fished with.
Since my love for the area continues to grow, I tend to read as many fishing reports as possible. Only to see more often than not anglers keeping trophy sportfish. I cannot understand this at all?
It seems on the surface & from the limited recources I have access to, that the local anglers are more likely to keep a trophy than anyone else. Please don't think I'm bashing the locals! There is not one person I have met in the area I wouldn't invite to my cabin for a BBQ & some beers!
What can be done to educate ALL anglers on the importance of catch & release?
I do not see anything to support this at any of the locat bait shops or better yet at the boat ramps. A simple sign could do wonders.
I know that Aquatic Arts removed the freezer of death & now will only do a replicas. This is the kind of effort that will secure this wonderful fishery for a very long time.
I will put a sign by our dock that says support Catch & Release with a picture of kids fishng. My boys will help make it & at the same time understand why it's important.
Be safe & good luck.

Re: Teaching Catch & Release
Well said, Mike. I hope we all can continue to learn and educate others on the importance of proper handling and encourage "catch and release" of this fragile fishery we call MUSKIES!

Re: Teaching Catch & Release
Catch & release is a fine lifestyle for all fisherman to pursue in certain circumstances (Smallies, Muskies, & maybe Northerns?).
Let's not forget how extraordinarily tasty a batch of bluegills, walleyes, perch, etc. are coming straight from the lake & into the fry pan can be! Otherwise why bother fishing?

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

I just read through this article, and it got me thinking... How does one prove to others that history repeats itself? In politics, in ethics, most of the time all it just takes a refutation before the thrust of the "It happened before" argument to fall. Like when people compared Vietnam to Iraq, yet they have both become long, misguided, contracted wars with a fading lack of public interest. Of course, nothing is exactly the same, but how close do circumstances have to be for someone to believe that the past has just happened again?

Just my food for thought for the day, figured I'd pass it on as well. I don't know how much debate my rhetoric could inspire, but its a good read anyway.

UK Recruiting
Next Cats: 2014 prospect Booker calm amid recruiting storm
There's been a steady stream of famous faces from the college basketball world passing through Moss Point, Miss., lately.
John Calipari, Tom Izzo, John Beilein and Frank Haith have all stopped by in recent weeks.
That hasn't traditionally been a common sight in Moss Point, where Devin Booker has steadily emerged as one of the best high school basketball players in the country.
"It's exciting, man," Moss Point Coach Micoe Cotton told the Herald-Leader. "I'm pretty sure some schools that have a bunch of D-I players, it can become normal. But this is an exciting feeling. A real exciting feeling.
"I can't really speak for Devin. But I'm pretty sure that as a player you dream of top coaches coming by to see you and watch you and talk to you and offer you. It has to be a great feeling."
In a few weeks, one of those college coaches will be sharing in the excitement.
Cotton said Booker is planning to announce his college decision Oct. 31 during a ceremony at the high school. UK, Michigan, Michigan State and Missouri are the finalists, and they all have their own advantages.
Booker — a 6-foot-5 shooting guard — has grown close to the two coaching staffs in Michigan, where his mother still lives and he visits often.
His father, Melvin Booker, was a star player for Missouri in the early 1990s.
Devin moved to Mississippi before his sophomore year to be with his father and improve his game under his tutelage. He has made great strides in the time since, and Cotton said Melvin Booker — an assistant coach at Moss Point — has played a major role in his development on and off the court.
"His dad has been there," he said. "His dad has been on the highest level."
Then there's Kentucky, which recently got a commitment from Tyler Ulis, another Class of 2014 star and a good friend of Booker. The two players have talked often about teaming up in college.
Telling three of those schools "no" will be a tough task, but Booker has been thorough with his recruitment.
He's traveled to Michigan and Michigan State several times each, and those trips include an official visit to East Lansing last month and an official trip to Ann Arbor this weekend.
He's also already seen Missouri and will return to Columbia for his final official visit later this month.
Kentucky started recruiting Booker earlier this year. Calipari has made multiple trips to Moss Point, and Booker took his official visit to UK last month.
"He loved the visit," Cotton said, "but Devin has a poker face. He's not going to get overly excited about anything. That's one of the great things about him. Even the most high-pressure moments, Devin is going to be calm. ... He's going to figure out a way to get through that storm."
That's what coaches like about him.
That, and his ability to busy up a box score.
Scout.com ranks Booker as the No. 30 overall player in the Class of 2014, and national analyst Evan Daniels calls him "one of the best shooters" in the country.
"Devin has good size at the two-guard spot," Daniels recently told the Herald-Leader. "He has a pretty quick release. He's skilled enough to get to the mid range and make those shots too. His game revolves around his jump shot."
He's also mentally tough.
"Besides being an excellent shooter, his basketball IQ is real high," Cotton said. "I call him the Peyton Manning of basketball. While everybody else is going real fast, he has the ability to stay at the same pace and slow the game down.
"It's like the Bionic Man. It's like he can focus and see it happen before it happens."

Kate Gosselin Outrages Fans With Picture Of Daughter Mady, 11, In Heels
Kate Gosselin tweets picture of 11-year-old daughter Mady wearing high heels, a move that sparked outrage from her online followers! Read on for all the details.
Mother of eight Kate Gosselin tweeted a photo of her 11-year-old daughter Mady playing dress up in sparkly high heels, but it seems not everyone found the photo humorous.
"Oh, hafta make u guess who just HAD to try on my heels that I just unpacked from my bag tonight… Starts w an 'M,'" the 37-year-old reality star posted on Sept. 14.
Though Kate thought her tweet was completely innocent, the photo has caused quite the controversy on Twitter.
"What Mom would showcase her 11 yr old's legs to 100,000 Twitter followers with all the pedophiles out there, wearing Mom's high heels!" wrote one of Kate's followers.
"If you're suppose to protect your kids why showcase her legs on to the world, how pathetic," added another.
Do YOU think Kate was wrong for posting the photo of Mady wearing heels, HollywoodLifers?

The LifeBridge Health (LBH) Department of Research created the Research Coordinator Program (RCP) in 2007 to facilitate sponsored research activity throughout the LBH system. It was specifically designed to support physicians who had an interest in clinical research but lacked access to research staff who could provide administrative and clinical support for this activity. This core program represents the most efficient and flexible mechanism for facilitating clinical research at every LBH hospital and facility.
RCP staff assists principal investigators in negotiating contracts for clinical trials, the preparation and submission of the initial Institutional Review Board and Administrative Review Board applications, as well as all amendment and continuing review paperwork needed during the course of a study. They can also assist in all aspects of a clinical trial, as defined by the principal investigator.
In addition to these administrative and clinical duties, they provide clinical research training and education throughout the LBH system, and participate in hospital community outreach programs.
The RCP occupies office and laboratory space on the second and third floors of the Schapiro building at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore. The program currently supports clinical trial activity at Levindale, Northwest, and Sinai Hospitals within the Departments of Medicine, Neurology, Orthopedics, and Pediatrics.

Miranda Barbour Tells Police Locations Of Her Murder Victims
The 19-year-old, who claims she has killed more than 22 people while in a satanic cult, and is now in prison awaiting trial, is telling police where she hid the bodies of her victims.
Miranda Barbour, who has been accused of a "Craigslist killing" along with her husband Eylette, is now telling police she "lost count" of how many people she killed, starting at 13 years old, throughout her life in Alaska, Texas, North Carolina and California. Police are now searching areas to see if they can recover missing people.
Miranda Barbour Tells Body Locations — Accused Murderer Claims She Hid Bodies
An FBI source told MailOnline that they are working with local police in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, where Miranda is being detained, to see if her confessions are realistic.
"Barbour has told police of multiple locations which are being vetted. Search teams have been put on standby but have not begun any digs yet.
[hl_ndn videoid="25631797″ videotitle="FBI Willing to Help Investigate Murder Claims" ]
We cannot confirm how many sites have been identified by Barbour," the FBI source revealed.
The Beginning Of Miranda's Killing Spree
Miranda told newspaper The Daily Item that she starting killing people who deserved it, Dexter style, when she was 13 years old. "[They] did bad things and didn't deserve to be here anymore," she said about her victims.
She said she was recruited into a satanic cult. While in the cult, she killed as well as engaged in prostitution.
Miranda has a 2 year old daughter. The father is unknown.
Do you think Miranda is telling the truth about these bodies, HollywoodLifers?

Dublin born Dora Sigerson was a prolific writer, as well as a self taught painter and sculptor. She produced two novels and more than 20 collections of poetry. One of the most important figures of the Irish Literary Revival, Sigerson produced poetry known for its nationalist bent, and published such titles as The Tri-colour: Poems of the Irish Revolution, The Fairy Changeling, and Madge Linsey and Love of Ireland: Poems and Ballads. In 1895 Dora Sigerson married journalist Clement King Shorter, thereafter publishing under the name Dora Sigerson Shorter. With Clement Shorter she lived out her life in London; however, as per her wishes, her body was returned to Ireland for interment.
In addition to producing written work, Dora Sigerson was also a gifted sculptor. Sigerson designed the memorial to the rebel dead which stands at the center of her own monument, and bequeathed funds in her will for its erection. The white Carrera marble statue is evocative of the Pieta, the depiction of Christ lying dead across his mother Mary's lap, which stands in the Basilica in Rome. The female figure in Sigerson's statue is Mother Ireland and lying across her lap is one of Ireland's lost warriors. The uniform of the warrior figure is clearly that of a 1916 rebel, and his face bears a striking resemblance to that of Pádraig Pearse, perhaps the best known of the executed leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising.
A secret discovered within
The monument now stands just inside the front gates of Glasnevin Cemetery. As part of the renovation project at Glasnevin the decision was made to restore the memorial; it was in poor condition with weeds growing out of its roof.

text: PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- It's a relatively quiet calendar compared with last year, but amid the relative silence, there are cities waiting for their chance to shine.Americans were in the throes of a presidential race and the candidates were already decided, but this year is relatively quiet on the political front. The Olympic torch is back in storage after leaving London last summer and won't be trotted out again until the lead-up to the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, next year. That doesn't mean there aren't big plans in the works for 2013. Global alliances are shifting, cultural centers are on display and old treasures are getting a new look. Towns daring enough to stray from their same rote holidays, pro sporting events and Chamber of Commerce productions are giving folks a reason to visit, while improving economies provide incentives to stay. Crack open the calendars, inhale that fresh new year smell and flip through the months to see what cities are poised for a big 2013. If it's not yours, don't worry. There are more exciting years ahead:
