Dan Thrift / Tahoe Daily Tribune file / A couple strolls the interpretive trail at the USFS visitor center grounds.
There are ways to see the scenic South Shore that don't require a lot of motivation, waffle-stomping boots, full pack, ice ax, poles, compass or even a map.
The Jewel of the Sierra, as Lake Tahoe is called, is sprinkled with walking paths geared toward the leisurely stroll. Many people use these routes to focus on nature, to do a minimal amount of exercise that doesn't require scaling the peaks of the Sierra Nevada and to connect one destination to another.
Some walking paths are so ingrained in the Tahoe terrain, they're not even named – as in the case of the Nevada trail off Kahle Drive across Highway 50 from Burger King.
Burke Creek runs through the marshy meadow deemed one of the highlights of the route that takes a full hour to walk the 2-mile round trip.
The trail is undergoing a U.S. Forest Service-ordered revamp that includes a paved parking lot with handicapped spots, an overlay of crushed gravel on the path and a 100-foot wooden bridge through the meadow. The marshy low spot was flooded during Tahoe's harsh winter storms, washing away the standard planks left to help walkers negotiate the stream.
The parking lot is expected to be paved next Friday, and the job is due to be done by mid October, URS Construction crew worker Tom Lake reported Thursday.
In the time the crew has been working in the area, it's seen many walkers who frequent the area despite the torn up parking lot.
Victoria Diamond and Victoria Chrystaal take the path every morning as a halfway point between their homes in Marla Bay and Ski Run area, respectively.
The duo cultivated a friendship on the path after Chrystaal's dog died and she struggled with depression. They met working together at the Royal Valhalla Lodge. Now she walks with Diamond's 2-year-old Labrador retriever, Deja – as in Deja vu – to the lake.
The women also enjoy the natural surroundings of the path and have seen many ages of walkers – including seniors and the disabled who don't necessarily want to negotiate rocky terrain.
"Did you smell the sage?" Chrystaal asked, while standing off the path.
This walking path is teeming with nature. On any given day, birds flock to the small pond near the trailhead, aspen leaves flutter like silver dollars in the wind, and the large meadow changes color as the time of day rolls on. The path leads to one of the most beautiful beaches on Lake Tahoe – Nevada Beach, which invites even the most uptight person to sink toes in the sand.
A historic look
The path also has a history. Burke Creek lies close to remnants of the old Lincoln Highway, which was heavily used by wagons traveling between the silver mines of Virginia City and gold mines of the Placerville area.
So the two Victorias with the gem last names feel right at home.
In 1860, Martin "Friday" Burke grazed cattle and later commercially fished the area.
Today, visitation is king on this popular walking trail for local residents. And this isn't the only place where walking paths rule. Some are busier than others.
Beauty, from shore to shore
Taylor Creek has two walking paths aimed at all ages and abilities. But the area is also more well known. According to the U.S. Forest Service, the visitor center alone attracts 107,000 people. Many of these people take the Rainbow Trail, a paved pathway with a lookout that offers a view of the meadow known as a bald eagle nesting ground. Birds of all types have stopped in the area – including a prairie falcon perched on the top limb of tree that stands next to the lookout.
For more wildlife come fall, the Rainbow Trail winds around to Taylor Creek where one can hop off the trail and stand a few feet from hundreds of kokanee salmon. The path ends up at the stream profile chamber where the spawning fish can be spotted a foot away behind a glass enclosure.
The dirt walking path at Taylor Creek – Lake of the Sky Trail – opens up to Lake Tahoe and serves as a favorite route for locals and visitors.
Jenny Harmer of Gardnerville often brings family members to the spot and Thursday was no different. Her son, Simon, and twin grandchildren, Polly and Jack, from Los Angeles, wore their beach clothes.
"It's fun. It's easy. It's beautiful," she said, adding the hike is ideal for the strolling types. "Often folks come who don't know about the altitude and don't want a strenuous hike."

Basingstoke warehouse saga enters the courts
🔊 Read out article
Logistics and industrial developer Newlands Developments and Basingstoke Council are going head-to-head at an appeal hearing into plans to build warehouses on the approach to Basingstoke from Junction 7 of the M3 motorway.
The developer appealed against the council's decision in May this year after the council refused the scheme twice in 12 months (as reported in Logistics Manager despite planning officers' recommendation for approval.
The planning appeal hearing, led by planning inspectorate Stephen Wilkinson, started this week.
The controversial scheme originally secured planning approval with Amazon as an occupier for a 2 million ft2 plus warehouse as well as three further warehouses units, but the council revoked the permission in November last year following a legal challenge by Dummer Parish Council. It was done on the grounds that it would destroy local biodiversity, and that there was "no overriding public need".
In addition to the legal threat from the parish council there has been a well-supported campaign to save 80 oaks within the parish supported by Sarah, The Duchess of York and 95,000 other signatories.
Following a scaling down of the scheme and promises to protect the oak trees the council's Development Control Committee over-rode planning officers' recommendations citing 'the detrimental impact of the proposed development on the character and visual amenity of the landscape'.
The revised scheme totalled 1.25 million ft2 and has lined up discount retailer Lidl as the new key occupier in a 630,000ft2 warehouse rather than Amazon.
The developer has argued that Lidl has found no other suitable sites for a critical distribution warehouse in the region and that this site is the best available however, planner on behalf of the council say there is no evidence that Lidl has even bothered to look at other sites. The council is arguing that there is no evidence that Lidl has researched other sites or indeed that they are looking at other sites and has stated that: "the economic need for development does not override the landscape sensitivity and benefits".
The hearing was told that a requirement for such a centre on the M3 corridor was identified in 2014 and since then agents have been trying to find a plot.
The case continues.

Art Doll Quarterly shares dolls and sculptural figures made from fabric, clay, wire, paper, and more.
Spring Bling Treasures Sale this Sunday!
My dear friend Renee Dominique is hosting another amazing boutique fundraiser at The Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock! Did ya know that I designed the invitation for the event? Yep, I do the graphic design stuff too! I love creating things for non-profit orgs that do such good for the community!
I'll have a table (along with my mom & fellow artist Linda Johnstone Allen). I'll be selling books, prints, and paintings and she'll be showcasing a bunch of organic and gorgeous ceramic pieces! Tell your friends! Come check this event out!
A trunk show of local artists will open their treasure boxes to share their unique creations- one day only. Welcome Spring and join us for an afternoon of shopping!
See Jewelry, Accessories, Ceramics, and other fine wares available for purchase directly from the artists. 10% of all sales benefit the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock, a non-profit arts programming organization dedicated to providing innovative and multicultural arts programming to the communities of Northeast Los Angeles.
Just working on some new paintings this March for some upcoming shows in Santa Fe in May, and Culver City in September. This one will be a triptych (3-panels attached with hinges). One of my favorite time periods of art history was the emergence of the use of Triptychs in religious art during the end of the Middle Ages and onward into the Byzantine era. Something about the narrative and exquisite detail - just blows my mind! My art making this year is going to focus on letting go, experimentation and creating pieces that just flow and feel good. I'll keep you posted with my progress. And if you want a sneak peek, stop by my open studio in April (more info to come).
Just uploaded photos of our "art jam" collaboration piece! We've been working on it for about a month now ( we being artists - Jeni Yang, Su Moon, Miss Mindy (pictured), Dee Chavez, Celene and myself (CJ Metzger). It's coming along nicely, and we are adding the last details this week - then it's off to auction!
The piece will be sold through an auction through WWA gallery - in Culver City and the proceeds will Benefit the Lunch Bunch Charity of Los Angeles (amazing group feeding the areas homeless).
Things to Come - New Work!
Last night I sat in bed and just sketched in my notebook. Funny, some of my best drawings have been scribbled on lined paper! SOmething about the fancy journals with their nice paper that intimidates me... the lined paper is a comfort - takes me back to the early days of art making. Scribbling into school notebooks during and in between classes, embellishing every square inch of a text books brown paper cover. Talk about freedom with creativity. This year I'm making a pact with myself to experiment more, judge myself less, and just be free with my creativity and the whole process. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out!
Trappings Show - Opening Reception Jan 15th!
The Trapping Show reception at the WWA gallery was a fantastic success! Art sold, and the venue was packed to the brim with art-goers and friends! The show came together lovely, and was hung beautifully by Rob Faucette & the WWA gallery crew. I urge you to swing on by to see the show, being in the heart of Culver City - there are a bunch of great places to nab a bite to eat, then stop in for a bit o' art viewing.
Artists Jeni Yang, Celene, me (CJ Metzger), Miss Mindy, Su Moon, and Dee Chavez were all on hand to do a bit of "on-site" painting for a good cause! Proceeds from the auction of our collaborative piece will benefit the Lunch Bunch, a super local organization that helps feed Los Angeles Area Homeless.
check back for photos of this amazing collaborative piece - as it progresses during the month of January!
Ahhh....Sometimes you just need to be outdoors! And Yosemite is by far the best place to get that "out of doors" awe-struck- humbling experience that just puts everything in perspective. It is so magical and such a special place to me and my family. I've been trekking there since I was just a wee little babe. In fact, my mom toted me in a baby carrier to Vernal falls when I was around 9 months old!
My family and I spent the New Years Holiday up there and braved the winter (mild, but we did get some snow!). Above are a few pic's i snapped from my iPhone. You just can't take a bad photo of that place.
I was hoping to paint a little, and did some sketching, but moreover - I just needed to refresh my mind and let nature make it's visual imprint on me. It was nice to just be little ol' me, quiet, breathing cool air, kicking stones, eating snow. I'll get to painting as soon as I get back home.
please visit cj's website for all current exhibitions, and other upcoming events and news.
CJ Metzger is excited to announce she has open edition prints available through the PODgallery. Based in New York, this print publisher has its inventory online and offers prints on paper and canvas! Check out the site!

Over the weekend, I made this gorgeous and simple dish. Layered on a bed of soft cheese, summer produce—ripe tomatoes, zucchini and leeks are seasoned with salt and pepper and deliver a taste like summer. As fall does not officially begin until September 22nd, I thought I'd share this dish which lets the true mettle of the ingredients come through with all its delicious summery goodness.
The term galette is used in French cuisine to describe a variety of round crusty and sweet cakes. In Québec, French Canada, galette is usually used for pastries like a large cookie. Although normally used for sweets, I use the term galette here to describe a savory tart similar to a french pastry pizza. I hope you love it as much as we do!
For the crust: Whisk flour, salt, and sugar in medium bowl. Add butter; with food processor or rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cold water. Work mixture with fingertips until dough comes together in moist clumps, adding more water by the teaspoon if dry. Gather dough into ball. Wrap in plastic; chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sauté the leeks in olive oil until softened and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
Place the ball of dough onto a large parchment-lined baking sheet and roll it into a 12 to 14-inch round circle (it does not have to be perfect).
Sprinkle the leeks around the middle of the rolled out crust, leaving about a 1 ½ inch border around the edge. Add cheese over top next, then tomato and zucchini. Gently fold edges over toward the middle, on top of the filling. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top and a nice dose of salt and pepper.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for about 15 minutes, then slide the tart onto a cutting board, cut into slices, serve and enjoy your slice of summer on a plate. Bon Appétit!
Martine's Notes: I used a mix of Fontina and Asiago cheeses. If you'd like you could also sprinkle grated fresh Parmesan on the crust before baking. I did not follow the cornmeal crust recipe provided by Recipe Girl. Instead, I made a simple and classic pâte brisée. Also, there are similar recipes that use puff pastry, goat cheese or add a few other vegetables. Either way, it's a delicious and nice summer dish.
This IS gorgeous! You think if I can't afford leeks right now (still adjusting to New York City prices!), onions would be a fine substitute?
Thank you! I'm so glad you like it. Sure, in this recipe I think onions would be a fine substitute. As leeks are onion-like in flavor, but milder, you might want to try one onion or one and a half onions for the two leeks. Good luck! Please keep me posted on how it turns out! Feel free to let me know if you have other questions. Thanks for your comment, question and for stopping by.
Thank you! I appreciate your comment and your time to visit the site. I will definitely check out your recipes! Thanks again!
Pretty hard not to love something so beautiful, Martine! That looks so irresistibly tempting! A little bit like my onion/cherry tomatoes pizza, but yours is definitely prettier and probably even more delicious with the pâte brisée.
Thank you so much. I just had a look at your fabulous onion recipes, so creative and beautiful pictures. Your pizza pie looks absolutely beautiful! I'm going to have to try it! Thanks again!
Thanks Shanna! Yes, this is great to make after a trip to a summertime Farmers Market when the tomatoes are bursting with flavor. Yum on your cheese suggestions!
You have such an adorable cover. Loved the recipe. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Riya. I appreciate your comment. So glad you loved the recipe! Thanks for visiting.

There Is Now A University Course Dedicated To Kate And Meghan's Royal Wardrobes
The course will examine how the pair tackle fashion in the "era of mass media and celebrity"
There's no denying the Duchess of Sussex and Duchess of Cambridge's sartorial pulling power with their world-famous Kensington Palace wardrobes inspiring our every shopping move.
So royal fashion followers will be pleased to learn that there is a now a course dedicated to the diplomatic methods behind their sell-out style.

The course will also provide students with exclusive access to the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection with leading curators from Historic Royal Palaces offering their expertise on the varying eras.

The course will also examine how the Queen's style has evolved since her coronation back in 1953.
According to dress and textile histories lecturer, Sally Tuckett, the new programme will also enable students to garner a greater look at the incredible attire worn by the likes of Queen Victoria, Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II.
Princess Diana was also a leading fashion muse, with her world-famous '90s Virgin Atlantic sweatshirt recently selling for £42,700 at auction.
"It can also be decorative, and frivolous, and anything in between," Tuckett revealed. "And by studying their clothes, we can learn a lot about the monarchs of the past and about their subjects."
"This free online course is going to take you behind the scenes of the royal wardrobes of the kings and queens of Britain," she continued. "Historic royal fashion could be practical and functional."

AiroAV Assert: New HART vans help those with disabilities better utilize p - Jonathan Cartu - Moving & Transportation Services
AiroAV Assert: New HART vans help those with disabilities better utilize p

08 Dec AiroAV Assert: New HART vans help those with disabilities better utilize p
Bus rider Johnny Foster of South Tampa says HART's specialized vans have become an invaluable way for him to get to the store or medical appointments.
Foster, 80, has severe knee and back health issues. He used to use regular buses operated by the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority (HART) but due to physical limitations, is no longer able to ride them.
Fortunately for Foster and other bus riders with physical or cognitive disabilities, HART has recently made a big investment in helping folks like Foster get from place to place more practically.
In Dec. 2019, HART's Board of Directors approved buying up to 44 HARTFlex and HARTPlus paratransit vans, investing $4.425 million in improving and upgrading the way those with disabilities can make use of HART services. There are now about 3,600 certified clients using the services Flex and Para van services.
"I'm sure that will make getting around easier and I'll be using them regularly," says the retired truck driver.
As of October, 10,111 HARTPlus fleet trips were completed on one of these vans, which shows the investment is paying off, says Carson Chambers, HART Director of Communications. She says that although total trips were down 28.6 percent this year from 2019 due to the coronavirus, the drop-off for special needs customers has been much less, showing the need for both Flex and Paratransit services and reinforcing the decision to purchase the new vehicles.
HART Paratransit service is for people with physical, cognitive, emotional, visual, or other disabilities that prevent them from using HART fixed-route bus system. They are fully accessible for users of wheelchairs or motorized scooters
Ruthie Reyes Burckard, interim HART CEO, says of the new HART 43 Chevrolet Cutaway vehicles, 35 will be Paratransit and the other eight are Flex. She says Cutaways are in use to replace Venture Production Group's MV-1 vans, in production until 2016. In total, HART already has more than 60 MV-1 and Cutaway vehicles.
"The new vans are a replacing of those that have met their useful life. But we'll still have approximately 15 or 18 that are overdue (to replace) by the end of next year," says Burckhard, who has been with HART for 19 years and is also the deputy chief of transportation.
Burckard says two Para vans have been received and are going through a preparatory process to get on the road, namely having the radio system functioning.
Once road-ready, Burckard says, they will help accommodate about 3,500 riders who generally use HART Flex. Flex and Paratransit vans look identical but seating capacity is different. HART Plus can seat eight and hold two wheelchairs. Flex has additional seating for up to 12, with two folding seats for two wheelchairs.
"We add additional seating capacity because the ridership is different on Hart Flex," says Burkhard, who started her career as a paratransit driver with the New York City Transit Authority in the 1990s.
HART's new Flex and Para vans are mostly powered by gasoline. There are older vans that run on CNG.
"The CNG vehicles have not been the most efficient use for us on this type of vehicle so we've transitioned back to gasoline due to mileage issues," she says, adding sometimes vans go more than 150 miles a day and CNG vans don't have that capacity.
The cost for Flex and Paratransit vans averages $81,000 each, coming in pre-wired for the technology to add.
"It's new technology really for these vans. Those CNG vans are really a conversion from a regular engine, so they don't have the best features if made specifically to be a CNG engine," she says.
As for coverage with the new Flex and Para vans, door service, and geographic zones are on the HART website. Burckard says the ride geographic zones – Brandon, South County, Northdale, Town n Country, and South Tampa — are the same with some minor adjustments to the paratransit service areas in January.
"All of the paratransit customers, or at least most of their areas, are still covered with rare exceptions because they have other routes that service that area. For HART flex customers there's a very small impact in terms of the service area," she says.
For those waiting for rides, Burckard adds on-time performance for October was almost 87 percent for pick up.
"It really is a really crucial service for our special needs customers, for people w varying levels of disabilities… using our system allows them to get to essential places."
Cost for Flex and Para rides are $4 per trip para transit each way, anywhere in Hillsborough County, within up to three-quarters of a mile for any regular bus routes.
"You can go from Wimauma to Town 'n Country for $4. This mirrors the fixed route system in the service area, in the hours, and, obviously, use of it varies – work, school, medical or just to get to the YMCA," Burckard adds.
Lastly, Burckard says, those from out of town can pre-register for visitor statuses for 21 days without full registration to use Flex and Para services. They just need a doctor's note or eligibility from another transit agency and use is good for up to 21 days that don't need to be consecutive.
"Our service has been pretty consistent even throughout this season of COVID, if you will," she says. "Overall, I think (the new vans) it's just improving on the customer experience. I think what we get out of new vehicles is the reliability of service."
In August, HART was awarded a $2.7 million Bus and Bus Facilities a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant to buy up to four electric buses and support infrastructure.

Old beliefs, patterns of behaviour and assumptions could hold you trapped in your past. So it's important to bring them out into the open and look at what is working for you and what is not.
After having completed this module you will have identified what you need to let go as you move ahead in your life.
There are 2 parts to Letting Go (probably lots more, but let's not get too complicated). Complete the 2 Worksheets, but don't be in a hurry. Let your thoughts brew a little; consider each question, discuss them, play with the questions. Some of the things will be easy to let go, others will be very hard – but just being aware of the baggage you are carrying is very useful.
One of the things you can do is to think about some of the older people you know and look at some of the habits and behaviours that get in the way of them having a full and rewarding life.
Jack Nicholson can get away with being a grumpy old man – but is that what you want for you?
Picky-picky – won't eat this, won't drink that!
Does dinner time really have to be at 6 o'clock – every day?
And although your ex-colleagues said you should pop in anytime – they actually mean "just once"!
What will be my biggest challenges in letting go?
This 2nd phase of transition is a period of quiet contemplation. A time to still the chattering monkey in your mind and to listen to your intuition.

The New Hampshire Democratic Party sent a tracker to monitor Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush as he participated in a local town's September 11th Observance ceremony on Friday.
Trackers are regularly deployed by both parties to make sure that everything a candidate says during campaign events is caught on camera, but the memorial was far from a campaign event.
The Londonderry, N.H. event began at 8:46 a.m. with a moment of silence, just as the first plane hit the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Following brief remarks in which Bush said he was proud of how America responded to the attack, Bush took turns with members of the local American Legion post and school children reading names of some of the 2,977 victims. The podium was placed between wreckage from both the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Despite the fact that Bush was simply reading names, Joel Kasnetz, who gave his name to event staff and identified himself as a member of the Democratic National Committee, was filming him as he spoke.
Kasnetz joined the New Hampshire Democratic Party as a press assistant in July, according to his LinkedIn profile. The party office confirmed to the Free Beacon that this is his current position.
Based on video captured of the event by local media, there will likely not be much dirt for the Democratic tracker to seize on as Bush was only reading names.
He used a trip-pod and joined the media under a tent, to make sure that he caught each name Bush read.
"Today is a day to remember the victims of September 11th, 2001, and to honor the heroes who rushed to the scene of the attacks to save countless lives," said New Hampshire Republican chairman Jennifer Horn in a statement. "It is unfortunate that New Hampshire Democrats lack the judgement and integrity required to put politics aside on this solemn day and pull back their trackers. The New Hampshire Democrat Party owes Governor Bush and the organizers of the Londonderry September 11th Remembrance ceremony an apology for their classless behavior."
Kaznets was not in the New Hampshire Democratic Party office when the Free Beacon called to confirm his attendance at the event. He has also not responded to an e-mail request for comment.
The New Hampshire Democratic Party also did not respond to a request for comment.

Peugeot Sets Electric Car Lap Time at Nurburgring in EX1 Concept
Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield April 29, 2011 Comment Now!
Peugeot EX1 concept electric sports car
How fast can an electric car get around the iconic Nurburgring Nordschleife in Germany?
Until recently, the fastest official time for an electric car stood at 9 minutes and 52 seconds. Recorded last year in a BMW Mini E racing car, it was the first time an all-electric car had completed the course in under 10 minutes.
But French automaker Peugeot has now snatched the title from the its nearby rival with its EX1 all-electric sportscar concept and a time of just 9 minutes, 1.338 seconds.
While the time is still a long way from the 6 minutes and 47.50 second road legal vehicle record set in 2010 by Marc Basseng in a Pagani Zonda R, the EX1's time is hardly slow.
In fact, the EX1's lap time beats the 9 minute 59 second lap time of Jeremy Clarkson, the electric-car hating host of BBC Top Gear, who achieved that time in 2004 driving a Jaguar S-Type Diesel.
Sadly, Peugeot doesn't plan to launch the EX1 as a production car, leaving us wondering what it will do with the 250 kilowatt drivetrain.
Let's hope it is fast, electric and lots of fun. And willing to defend the title, which we think will get broken some time this year.

Second half dooms South Carolina basketball in loss to Mississippi State
Andrew Ramspacher
STARKVILLE, Miss. — Reggie Perry and Alanzo Frink are equals in age and not much else. One's a reigning McDonald's All-American and a starter for Mississippi State. The other, an under-the-radar recruit and eighth man for South Carolina.
But fate had the two matching up with each other in first half of Saturday's game at Humphrey Coliseum. Perry gathered the basketball six feet from the basket, turned and started to back Frink with the intention to either get an easy bucket or draw a foul. Frink, though, wasn't adhering to Perry's plan. USC's rookie gave up four inches to MSU's, but Frink had 20 extra pounds. He stayed in front and only left his feet to block Perry's shot.
It's these kind of uphill battles the Gamecocks have been mostly winning since the calendar turned to January. They dug themselves a hole because of a poor non-conference record, but they came here Saturday to continue their outside shot at an NCAA Tournament bid.
They scrapped their way to an early lead, lost it and couldn't recover in a 76-61 downer to the Bulldogs.
USC dropped to 14-13 overall. At 9-5 in the SEC, the Gamecocks remain in fourth place with four games to go. MSU (20-7, 8-6) didn't necessarily expose Carolina as much as it just got red-hot at the right time. The Bulldogs made 65 percent of their second half shots.
"That's why they're a real good basketball team," said USC coach Frank Martin. "They changed gears and defended at a different rate in the second half. And offensively they attacked us off the bounce."
Martin called South Carolina's defensive performance Tuesday in the Ole Miss win its best of the season. That effort continued for a while against the Bulldogs.
Facing a team that was down Nick Weatherspoon, MSU's suspended guard who dropped 18 points on USC in the first matchup, South Carolina held the Bulldogs to four points and one made field goal through 11 minutes. USC led 19-6 at the 8:49 mark. It was up 30-14 over four minutes later when Felipe Haase drained a right wing 3.
"I thought we defended really good early in the game and I thought we caught them off-guard," Martin said.
The big advantage was opposite of Carolina's recent history. The Gamecocks rallied from double-digits down to beat Arkansas on Feb. 9, Texas A&M on Feb. 16 and the Rebels on Tuesday.
Martin felt the Gamecocks missed a couple dagger opportunities. Q Weatherspoon, MSU's leading scorer and All-SEC candidate, picked up his second foul with 4:16 left in the first half, but remained in the game.
"And he put his head down to drive us," Martin said. "And Felipe (Haase) and Maik (Kotsar) both had chances to take charges and they both got out of the way. ... You're on the road, you gotta make those plays."
MSU closed the first half on a 13-6 run. It was capped by a Tyson Carter steal and Aric Holman dunk after a key A.J. Lawson turnover. Martin had called timeout moments before to set up a play, but a lack of execution led to more momentum for MSU.
"I should have passed the ball earlier," said Lawson, who led Carolina with 18 points, "instead of (continuing to) dribble the ball. That's how they got the steal off of me."
It foreshadowed a second half that was dominated by the Bulldogs. After South Carolina scored the period's first five points to go up 12, MSU's Lamar Peters completed a four-point play that injected life back into a spirited Hump crowd.
A Holman dunk capped a 17-4 run and gave the Bulldogs their first lead with 15:11 left. They stretched the advantage to as many as 15.
"We kind of held on and held on," Martin said, "but eventually it just kind of came apart at the seams there. But that's more a credit to Mississippi State than us faltering in any way."
Perry scored 17 of his game-high 21 points in the second half. Weatherspoon finished with 17. The Bulldogs outscored the Gamecocks, 47-25, over the final 20 minutes.
USC, plagued by Chris Silva's foul trouble, couldn't gain back any rhythm. When a Lawson layup cut the lead to six with 5:24 left, the Bulldogs responded with five straight points. Carolina shot 32 percent in the second half and committed eight turnovers.
Silva and Hassani Gravett, a duo averaging 25, combined for just 11 points.
South Carolina returns home Tuesday to face Alabama (16-11, 7-7).

Destiny 2 Game Developer Conference controversy is unfair to Bungie
A Destiny 2 Game Developer Conference (GDC) talk is making the rounds on Twitter as players suggest Bungie is actively stifling developers' ambitions for the game. Looking through a wider lens, however, the statements from presenter Justin Truman, Bungie's chief development officer, might be taken out of context.
The presentation discussing the ongoing live service FPS game, titled 'From Box Products to Live Service: How Destiny 2 Transformed Bungie,' first appeared online in April, just a few weeks after GDC in March, but only recently garnered attention within the Destiny community. Specifically, players have latched onto Truman's train analogy after telling the audience of game developers that "It's HARD to tell a team that has extra cycles and energy and want to do something amazing — that would be amazing and awesome for the game — we should not ship this, because it is an overdelivery that will set us up for failure on future trains."

All Fortnite My Hero Academia skins explained
Want the Fortnite My Hero Academia skins? Sadly, if you want to dress up as Deku, All Might, Uraraka, or Bakugo, these Fortnite My Hero Academia skins are exclusive to the in-game shop. However, that doesn't mean there aren't any free goodies to earn. It's nowhere near as extensive a takeover event as the Dragon Ball Super event, but this collab is bigger than many expected.
The lack of free Fortnite My Hero Academia skins is a tad disappointing, but you can earn free items in this collab. To get them, you need to complete special challenges available in the free PC game. These quests are relatively easy, but some require you to play in a unique creative mode. This event lasts a couple of weeks, ending on December 30 at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm GMT, so you'd better be quick.

Assassin's Creed Mirage release date speculation, news, and gameplay
The Assassin's Creed Mirage release date may indeed be as mysterious as the assassins themselves. We know that Mirage is an homage to the original Assassin's Creed games, bringing back the stealth-focused gameplay in a densely populated Middle-Eastern city. While it's still an action-adventure game with a strong narrative focus, long-time Assassin's Creed players will be reminded of Ezio's adventures rather than Eivor's.
Assassin's Creed Mirage, which was announced in September 2022, is part of Ubisoft's larger Assassin's Creed series. Following the release of Valhalla back in 2020, it's the thirteenth major instalment. Like other AC games, Mirage is all about fascinating historical settings, intriguing characters, and sneakiness - something that will hopefully place Mirage among the best PC games when it eventually releases. Whether you're a veteran assassin or new to stealth games, here's everything we know about Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Minecraft pumpkin guide
Minecraft pumpkins are a great way to decorate, but they aren't just for Halloween - they're one of the most versatile blocks in Minecraft, with several surprising uses. They appear naturally in most green biomes, but require a grass block with air above it in order to spawn. They also naturally show up in some villages, and in stem farm rooms inside woodland mansions, but those are particularly tricky to find - luckily, we've identified a Minecraft seed that spawns you a mere hundred blocks away from one.
You'll also find carved pumpkins - the spooky siblings of regular pumpkins - in rail rooms in woodland mansions. Carved pumpkins show up in pillager outposts inside tents alongside normal pumpkins, too, and atop scarecrows. Pumpkins also generate instead of hay bales outside taiga and snowy taiga villages. There are even more ways to get your hands on a pumpkin - they have a 15.6% chance of showing up in chests inside shipwrecks, and you may be able to buy one from a wandering trader.
There's one more way to get hold of a carved pumpkin - if a hostile Minecraft mob spawns during Halloween, there's a chance they'll show up sporting a carved pumpkin on their head. In order to steal the pumpkin, you'll have to kill it with a tool you've added Looting to at a Minecraft enchantment table. The chances of it dropping are pretty slim - you're better off carving your own, which we'll explain how to do below, before guiding you through the Minecraft pumpkin's varied uses, but spotting a pumpkin-headed mob during spooky season is still pretty fun.

No patch notes have been released. Original story continues below.
While an unannounced Midnight Suns patch sounds like a good thing on paper, the most recent update to the superhero strategy game appears to be straight up breaking Marvel fans' games.

No wonder, because it comes hot on the heels of the JRPG successes of Genshin Impact and Tower of Fantasy, adds the MMO angle, and is being developed by Bandai Namco and published in the west by Amazon Games which sounds like a recipe for success.
Combining aspects from the best Genshin-like JRPG games, MMO games, and action-adventure games, there are high expectations for Blue Protocol - especially given the two massive studios behind it. Revealed during The Game Awards, our first glimpse of the free-to-play game didn't disappoint, so when is the Blue Protocol release date and what do we know about the game so far?

How to clean a mouse pad – eliminate desk mat dirt
A filthy setup won't harm frame rates, but learning how to clean a mouse pad is beneficial. Whether your desk mat looks manky or not, dirt and grime can cause tracking issues and hamper your performance during gameplay, and it could harbour accumulated germs.
That said, you're probably wondering exactly how to clean a mouse mat. Sure, you could just give it a once over with a cloth, but giving your reliable rectangle a proper scrub can make it look and perform like new again. The process is also a lot easier than you'd think, and compared to learning how to clean your computer, it's not that much of a time-sink.
Cleaning your desk items doesn't just apply to gaming setups, as hygiene applies to both work and play. This is particularly true for workplaces that use a hotdesking policy, as sharing a pad contributes to the spread of germs, bacteria, and viruses. So, without further delay, here's how to clean a mouse pad, including tips and tricks to help your desk mat shine.

Brace yourselves, the Steam Winter Sale begins December 22nd
Valve have announced that the Steam Winter Sale will begin next week on December 22nd. I can already see myself standing in front of my mirror, chanting "I do not need more games" before sitting back down at my desk and splurging on everything I missed from this year's RPS advent calendar.

Amazon's piratical MMO New World opens its frontier for a free weekend
All the flap about World Of Warcraft: Dragonflight has made it easier than ever to forget there's a whole New World out there, but there is, and it's temporarily free. You can jump into the frontier of Amazon Games vaguely piratical MMO without paying a penny this weekend, where you're free to lark about until December 19th. Has the recent early game overhaul alleviated the opening grind? Perhaps!
Intriguing medieval tactics 'em up Inkulinati launches Jan 31st
I can't think of a better place for turn-based fights than in the margins of medieval manuscripts. There's a wealth of weirdness to draw on, and Inkulinati seems admirably willing to dip its quill into messed-up cats and donkeys playing double-ended trumpets. We've been waiting a while for it, but we'll only have to wait a little longer, as developers Yaza Games have just announced they'll be launching on Steam Early Access on January 31st.
They've also sketched out a new demo to tide us over, and I've enjoyed my little poke at it.

Hunt down elves for double XP in Deep Rock Galactic's Christmas event
Don't you just love Christmas? The music, the food, the laughter, the screams of elves getting shoved into boxes in a cold dark space mine. It's the most magical time of the year, especially now that charming co-op shooter Deep Rock Galactic has launched its annual Yuletide Elf Hunt. It's time to dress up your dwarves, grab your pickaxes, and get back to hauling rocks for an oppressive corporation. There's double XP in it for you.
If FF7 Rebirth does one thing better than Remake and Crisis Core, please let it be this
As has seemingly become a yearly tradition in my gaming calendar, I have ended up finishing 2022 in much the same way I finished 2021: reviewing yet another Final Fantasy VII game. Last year, it was the PC release of Final Fantasy VII Remake, this year it's Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - Reunion, a remaster of the original game's PSP prequel. As such, I've been thinking a lot about Final Fantasy VII these last few weeks, and playing them so close together has ended up highlighting one key thing for me. Namely, that story chapters that break up the action by giving players some 'downtime' to 'hang' with your party pals, either by doing side or fetch quests for them MUST DIE.
Drop a meteor on them or let them go the way of Aerith and be skewered into oblivion, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, because please, Square Enix, I simply cannot with the interminable sidequest chapters any more.

Guerrilla confirm their rumoured online Horizon game is indeed real
The universe that began with Horizon Zero Dawn is expanding, with devs Guerrilla Games confirming that they're working on a new single-player games for Aloy, and a separate "Online Project" set in the same universe. Announced in a tweet today, it confirms previous rumours that Guerrilla were working on an online multiplayer Horizon game, and a recent batch of job listings for the project have given us a glimpse of what we might be able to expect once it's ready.
The Vampire Survivors expansion is exactly what I want for £1.50: more Vampire Survivors
Two months after leaving early access, Vampire Survivors yesterday launched its first paid expansion. Its name is Legacy Of The Moonspell, and it adds a new map along with new characters and enemies and weapons, all inspired by Japanese folkore (including a variety of yokai and oni). For a mere £1.50, it is perfect. Do you like Vampire Survivors and want more? Buddy, it's right here.
Wavetale's watersliding delights could fill a game on their own
It's not all that easy for an action platformer to stand out, even if it does a lot of things right. I'll talk a bit about how Wavetale does it, but the first one is obvious within a few minutes, because if you're anything like me you'll be ignoring the danger your family is in to slide around with your newfound powers going "wheeee!".
Very quickly, you see, you gain the ability to not just walk on water, but run up a little and you'll start power sliding freely around. Hold the jump button and you even charge up a big boosted power charge. Jump off the land and press sprint and you'll dive, briefly powering through the water before smashing out again. It is delightful.
Grab NZXT's H510 Elite PC case for $80 after a 50% discount
The NZXT H510 Elite is a rather excellent mid-size case, offering beautiful visuals courtesy of its glass-heavy design and an easy build experience thanks to the company's long-ass history of case-building. The H510 Elite also comes with a controller for its integrated RGB lighting, so you can easily plug in other NZXT gubbins for a pretty sweet setup.
Anyway, why am I bringing this up? Of course, it's because the case is discounted on Amazon US, where it's been reduced to $79.99, exactly 50% off its $159.99 MSRP. Given that the case has been selling for $145 or higher outside of Black Friday, when it dipped to $100, this is a pretty awesome deal!
Turning off High On Life's endless gun chatter only reveals an even more mediocre FPS
When I previewed High On Life at Gamescom earlier this year, I came away with a little skip in my step. Justin Roiland and Squanch Games might be on to a winner, I thought. The talking alien guns weren't that irritating and the gun fights seemed solid! And it appealed to my juvenile sense of humour too. Poo and wee? Yeah, you'll get a cheap chuckle from me. I understood then that it might not be for everyone, but hey, I can roll with that if the FPS bit is good.
Having now spent a few hours with the final game, I've concluded that my mind must've been chemically altered by the doner kebab I consumed the night before. You can switch off your gun's verbal diarrhea through the in-game menu, but what you'll find behind the brown curtain is a very unimaginative shooter. For a world so colourful and zaney, it's a shame the FPS side can't match it.
Have You Played... Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II?
Nothing beats the audio design of Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II. You know when you look at a light for too long and then close your eyes, and you see an imprint of the light against your retinas? The sound of an elevator in Dark Forces II is similarly burned into my memory, whether I like it or not. As is the excellent "EUURRYAAAARRGH!" death-cry that protagonist Kyle Katarn makes as he takes one blaster bolt too many and collapses onto the ground.
Grab our best value PCIe 4.0 SSD choice at a hefty UK discount
The Crucial P3 Plus is our best cheap PCIe 4.0 SSD for gaming, so I'm happy to report that the giant 2TB model is down to a modest £128 at Amazon UK. This isn't the lowest price it's ever been - it was £119 once before - but it is still an excellent price for a high performance PCIe 4.0 SSD and well below its £182 RRP.

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Goat Plush Comes with Premium Edition
A new Story of Seasons game means a special edition with a plush toy. Xseed Games confirmed this would be happening with the next release. The Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Premium Edition will come with a plush goat. In addition to the official Xseed store, other outlets will sell it. It will be $59.99, $10 more than the standard edition with no plush.
Here is a closer look at the goat plush, alongside a copy of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life for scale. It is 3.5 inches tall, meaning it is the same size as the other "pocket plush" stuffed animals included with special editions of these games. In addition to it, a cloth poster with Igusa Matsuyama art will also be included in this edition's box.
All of the other recent Story of Seasons Xseed releases also came with plush toys. For example, Friends of Mineral Town came with Hanako the pink strawberry cow. Pioneers of Olive Town's bonus was a Buffy the Buffalo stuffed animal. Back when Trio Of Towns, it included a capybara.
Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in Summer 2023. The premium edition with a goat plush will be available at launch.

Pokemon Anime Reveals Two New Protagonists. Says Goodbye to Ash.
The Pokemon Company International announced the new season of the Pokemon anime series, along with a final goodbye arc for long-time protagonist Ash and his partner Pikachu. Two new protagonists will take up the mantle in the new season. It will start airing in Japan on April 2023.
In a big departure for the Pokemon series, Ash and his partner Pikachu will retire from the spotlight in favor of two brand new protagonists. Their names are Riko and Roy in the Japanese version of the anime. Their names in the English dub haven't been revealed yet. The teaser video showed a mysterious Shiny Rayquaza as well.
We don't know where this season of the Pokemon anime will take the new protagonists to. However, they will be joined by Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly, the three starters of the Paldea Region in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1603699094689652736
A series of special episodes to commemorate the end of Ash and Pikachu's adventure was announced as well. The first one is titled "The Faraway Blue Sky," and it will follow Ash and Pikachu in one of their usual special days. They meet a strange boy in their travels across a forest. It features the classic style of the original 1997 anime. This episode will air in Japan on December 23, 2022.
You can see the Japanese trailer here.

Sonic Frontiers LINE Stickers Feature Korone the Hedgehog
Sega is teaming up with Hololive VTuber Inugami Korone. A new crossover promotion features a set of Sonic Frontiers LINE stickers focusing on Sega's mascot and the mascot who loves the hedgehog, Korone. The stickers are available on the LINE marketplace as the "SoniKoro Collaboration Sticker pack".
Check out the selection below.
[gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="943869,943870" link="file"]
The Sonic Frontiers LINE stickers, which come in a set of 24, feature Sonic the Hedgehog and Korone interacting. She is wearing her Sonic-themed outfit, which she debuted in June 2022. At the time, Korone debuted the outfit as part of a promotion with Sega. The outfit shows her in a hoodie shaped like Sonic's head and quills, and with her normally brown hair dyed blue, like Sonic's fur. The art shows them sharing poses, playing games, and enjoying hot dogs together.
Some of the stickers include messages and expressions in Japanese and English, which users can use on LINE to signal their reactions.
The "SoniKoro" collaboration is a relatively new promotion, owed in part to Korone's recent arrival to the Sonic fandom. She first played the games on the advice of her fans in January 2021. She fell in love with the series, and Sega moved to make the connection more official. Korone appeared in promotions as a Sonic the Hedgehog brand ambassador and voiced a character in the Japanese dub of the Sonic the Hedgehog film.
The Inugami Korone x Sonic Frontiers LINE stickers are available on the LINE marketplace. The game is available on PS4. PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Check out Siliconera's official review of the game.

What's Our Favorite Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Weapon?
2023 is going to be a good time for Monster Hunter fans. That's because Monster Hunter Rise will head to the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. It's an adventure that Switch and PC owners both started some time ago. To help people about to join the fray, we decided to go over our thoughts on the series. This time, Siliconera Speaks Up is going over all of the Monster Hunter Rise weapons we feel are our favorites and best suited to our needs.
For me it's a tie between the Dual Blades and the Hunting Horn. During my review period, the Dual Blades carried me through so many Magnamalo fights without fainting while I was wearing some of the worst armor possible cemented just how great these weapons could be. (Not that I wasn't already using them in Monster Hunter: World and Iceborne) But when I finally had the chance to play with friends, the Hunting Horn became my weapon of choice. Monster Hunter: Rise has a pretty decent variety of Hunting Horns, and I always felt like I was actually providing valuable support by regening my teammate's health or buffing their attack and defense. My impatience and need for efficiency has me leaning towards the Dual Blades, but the part of me that loves contributing to parties holds the Hunting Horn in extremely high regard. — Kazuma
I always used to love weapons like the Dual Blades and Gunlance in Monster Hunter titles, but I think my best weapon in Rise Sunbreak is the Long Sword. I just love the Spirit Blade attacks. The Spirit Roundslash is just amazing. I love getting that extra attack buff, because normally I worry that I'm not packing enough of a punch when I play. Plus, it really fit the aesthetic of the original Rise, as it was like I was a katana-carrying samurai heading into battle. — Jenni
Monster Hunter Rise gave us the best iteration of the light bowgun, heightening its mobility, hitting power, and flexibility. Rapid fire Pierce 2 build? Classic. Sticky spam? Why bother letting the monsters get up? Want ammo type flexibility? Annie, get your Magnamalo LBG. Farming Narwa? You stand there with your charge blade, us gunners got this.
Of course Sunbreak would have to level the playing field. Sticky ammo efficacy plummeted, Pierce struggles with the finicky orientation of monster weak spots, Spread DPS can no longer match the explosive power of the long and great sword, and while the LBG got a counter, it is so hard giving up fanning maneuver.
But when I made the move from the Switch to the Steam Deck and downloaded Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, I looked myself in the mirror. I told myself, "You are going to take up the lance. You are going to stand in front of the monster and poke them with a stick. You were a lance main in World, and you will not turn your back on it now." And then I immediately forged the Wind Thief LBG and stocked up on Pierce 1 ammo. — Khai

Death Stranding 2 Art and Wallpaper Shared
While Kojima Productions didn't really explain what the BT (Beached Thing) in the Bridge Baby (BB) Pod means, people can pick up a wallpaper and see art of the Death Stranding 2 character. The company shared items as part of its seventh anniversary. It also confirmed that, while not available yet, a Death Stranding 2 PlayStation Network avatar set will appear.
First, here's the Death Stranding 2 poster. It features the BT BB in the hands of an unknown character. It also confirmed a number of the actors returning for the game, as well as new additions to the cast. Norman Reedus and Lea Seydoux will return as Sam Porter Bridges and Fragile. There is also Troy Baker, who played Higgs. Newcomers Elle Fanning and Shioli Kutsuna are the two named newcomers.
The Death Stranding 2 wallpaper for mobile devices is essentially identical to that poster. It just only features the game's logo and a note about it being a Kojima game set against the BT BB image.
Finally, here is the Death Stranding 2 BT BB Pod animated gift.
