 that these guys take the time out to do all this extra work for free, to try to cultivate a real skill and talent amongst people breaking into the industry.
Simon: In which direction is your own research heading, and can we expect further publications from you in the near future?
Karen Collins: I've got two books coming out soon, as I mentioned before. Playing With Sound will be out in a few months on MIT Press, and The Oxford Handbook of Interactive Audio will probably take another year or so. It's a huge volume, of about 40 chapters. Besides editing that, I started a company called Veemix, which is creating software to enable user-generated music content in games, and then sharing that content over a social network. I'm also working on a couple of short films, so I'm taking a break from writing right now and having some fun getting my hands "dirty" so to speak.
Simon: After having listened intensely to and analysed what must be a vast number of game music scores, it would very interesting to hear about your favourite genre of game music or maybe even favourite score — you've previously hinted at your fondness for 8-bit sounds.
Karen Collins: It's tricky to pick a favourite, and there's music that works really well on its own and music that works really well in context. I love the Metroid music, and I listen to that a lot outside of playing the game. Silent Hill, too. I guess I go for more atmospheric and dark music when I want to listen outside of gameplay. In-game, though, there's nothing that beats Koji Kondo's music: Super Mario Bros, Zelda... it works so well with the games. I never get tired of that! There's also a special place in my heart for 8-bit music because I spent an awful lot of my childhood listening to that, but it's not something I listen to outside of the games very much.
Simon: Many thanks for your time today, Karen Collins. Is there anything else you would like to say about your works and your research?
Karen Collins: It's great to see so much interest now in game sound, and particularly that scholars have woken up to the fact that we have this great new area of research to pursue. There's still so much work to do, though, so I encourage anybody who is interested to get involved: Start interviewing, writing, analysing, creating, whatever. Just get involved!IN: French:

All told, it will provide an optimal mix of SAR capabilities, and give the Coast Guard the operational flexibility it needs to conduct its work efficiently and safely — now and in the years to come.
OUT: En un mot, ceci assurera une combinaison optimale des ressources SAR et donnera à la Garde côtière la souplesse opérationnelle nécessaire pour effectuer son travail de façon efficiente et sécuritaire - aujourd’hui comme dans les années à venir.

Subsection 42(1) states that a debt obligations certificate must have the signature of either a director or officer of the corporation issuing the debt obligation, an agent of the issuer or a trustee if the debt obligation issued under a trust indenture.
OUT:
Le paragraphe 42(1) prévoit que le certificat de titre de créance doit être signé soit par un administrateur ou un dirigeant de l'organisation qui émet le titre de créance, soit par un agent de l'émetteur ou un fiduciaire si le titre de créance est émis conformément à un acte de fiducie.Yup!!  I wasn't thinking about that at first, but if the mom goes for any aid, particularly Medicaid or Food aid for children, they will almost always **require** that a child support order be in place.  And depending on your state, judges can order retroactive child support going back YEARS.

If you think $100 a week in support would be a problem now, just imagine how you'd feel if 2 years from now you piss her off so much that she files and you are ordered to pay $100 a week, plus $12,000 in retroactive support.And this even after the revelation of the Climategate emails and documents, not to mention the further revelations about the manipulation of Russian climate data with NOAA and NASA themselves complicit. No, the show must go on. The UN Pope had convened the College of Cardinals in Copenhagen. Everyone must attend, including the Princes of Macedonia and the President of Tuvalu.
Not that anyone believed it.
Except perhaps the earnest young woman from Mother Jones, I watched question, in a style reminiscent of Arthur Miller's The Crucible, some Republican House Members at a press conference, demanding to know if they believed in man-made global warming.
I had had my own, perhaps more humorous, Close Encounter of a Congressional Global Warming Kind only a couple of hours before. I was at the Marriott to interview Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WISC), when, on my way out, who do I spy in the gift shop (where else?) but Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY). I knew instantly why God had invented the Kodak Zi8 flip cam I had in my pocket.
Well, not everyone. Like a good medieval pilgrim, I'm leaving tomorrow. It's pretty cold here in warming land and I'll be glad to get back to sunny LA. But I did have a very good meal at a place called Det Lille Apotek. As for everything else, I'm not so sure. I'll have a lot more to say about it probably. It's long plane ride back and I've got a spare battery for my laptop. Video of my Close Encounter with Rep. Rangel should be up on PJTV shortly. Rep. Sensenbrenner - a bit longer and quite a bit more serious - should be up next week. Oh, and in case you're interested, I never did get to that special event with Chavez, Morales, Raul Castro and Zelaya referred to in the post below. Turned out it was an hour out of Copenhagen in blizzard conditions. I don't know if anybody went... or if Zelaya really was there... but certainly not me. Next time I promise to take one for the team, be aware that's not true in conditions of extreme global cooling.Big, small, thick, skinny, light, tan-we don't discriminate.
(SPOT.ph) Well, we guess there’s no point in skirting around what this list is all about. Yes, each of these finds is shaped like male genitalia and yes, some of you might be giggling like 12-year-old boys right now—no judgment here. Whether you’re celebrating a (socially distanced) bachelorette party, shopping gifts for a themed secret Santa setup, playing crude pranks on your friends, or just appreciating the masculine form in all its colors and variations, you’re sure to find something in this list that piques your interest.
Who says size matters? This itty-bitty keychain from Love, Leonna begs to differ. Each piece is handmade with resin and houses a variety of flowers, leaves, and other decorative particles—you can even get it personalized with letter beads that spell out your name or initials. Attach it to your car or house keys to make them easier to, err, grip.
Need a cuddle buddy? This thick and long pillow from Kaiqi Store could be just what you’re looking for. Your family might give you some weird looks, but imagine how cozy you’ll sleep snuggled up next to this huge plushie. It’s available in light beige and deep brown depending on your preference (wink, wink).
We promise this isn’t what it looks like—these pieces from IG shop Dirty Pink are just night lights so please do us a favor and stick these on your nightstand and nowhere else. The rather R-rated glass molds are decked out in a variety of flowers in a multitude of colors. You can plug them in at night (to an electrical socket only!) to help set the mood in your bedroom—whatever mood that may be is totally up to you!
If you like 'em short and girthy (hopefully some people are into that sort of thing), you’ll love this plushie from Cojines. It’s available in several sizes from an itty-bitty 10-centimeter toy to a huggable 30-centimeter pillow.We feel a little strange admitting that the pointy head and ball-shaped feet are so gosh darn adorable, but you have to admit that they you’re tempted to squish them right now!
This nine-piece pack of willy straws from Love Toy is perfect for the endless rounds of cocktails you’ll be sipping on at your next bachelorette party. Snap an IG pic sipping drinks with your buds if you’re feeling cheeky!
The naughty end of this toothbrush from Gift Lab isn’t the part that you have to put in your mouth.
