"It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you
It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Sweet child, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you"
here's the soundtrack for you to sing along. enjoy !
– a form of self-hypnotism involving staring at water –
well, that's a new term for me but believe me, it hasn't fallen on deaf eyes. in fact, the whole 'For the Love of Water' section has taken on this new name. at 525 posts its more than obvious that i very much do love making water images but even if the old title fit the description well, i never really liked the title itself.
above is a little something i've been working on for a while that i hope you'll enjoy: in-camera multiple exposures with the idea of creating strata, or layers within the original one-plane watery subject. i used to do a lot of multiple exposure images when i was using large format view cameras. it was easy and very predictable. it was always on a sturdy tripod and the huge viewfinder was well, big… and i could draw on it with a small grease pen to mark all the previous exposures, not overlap and get just-right compositions whereas my little camera is pocket size and hand held, making it a bit trickier to get desired results but sometimes it all works out and that sometimes makes it even more special. the problem with predictability is its predictable and predictable gets boring very quickly.
just in case you're tired of all the obnoxious holiday tunes and want something a little different, here's the mix that was playing on my MP4 whilst layering away. most don't like 'Ambient Trip Space Recreational Drug Use Relaxation' sounds but a) you don't have to press play ! b) it works just as well without recreational drugs and c) its really not bad at all as its all layered all over the place making it fit in quite nicely with my image, but mostly d) its through this tune that i discovered the lecanoscopy term in SHADOW WOLF CYBERZINE, an old school, true original text format, 80s-90s cyberpunk ezine with contemporary contributors well worth checking out, specially if you're in the mood for being both in the past and in the present at the same time. enjoy !

not sure how and even less sure i want to know, but these two seem to go pretty well together.
we sure are a weird bunch…
and while we're into weird and secrets, what's your weird fly fishing secret ?
enjoy !
it's almost like being there…
and since fog transmits sound so well, here's some fog music.

and thanks to Party Ben these two do a pretty good job at it too.

ok, here's a first for the Cobra. something that apart from being listened to on the way to the water has nothing at all to do with fly fishing: a six+ hour mix of progressive tekno. see, i'm going out to the river today and some unexpected chores have popped up, i'm not about to give up the first part but it also means i won't have the time to write this most explosive rant i'm preparing on very poor online fly casting instruction.
anyhow, i hope you'll enjoy this and if you're into bluegrass i hope you won't hate me. (rest assured, i'll probably never do this again* so it's safe to come back ! :mrgreen:)
* (that of course means i just jinxed myself for eternity so, i guess you can expect more progressive in one form or another somewhere in the future… 😆 )
hard to say exactly what's going on here but it looks like a party i'd sure like to crash.
i'll have this in the mobile and headphones in case they start playing disco…
lethargy will have to wait till later because here's a souped, dubbed-up, big and nasty Hog Snare streamer by Jon Hanson, crank up !
just think, until now you've been annoying the shit out of everyone with your Rihanna, Depeche Mode, Elton John, Star Wars, Salsa and who knows what other horrid cell phone ring tones wherever you go but now, thanks to our Deutsch Freundens at FlyOnly you'll be able to up the game and bring this incivility to a new level !
as a bonus, you'll have the supreme pleasure in noticing the looks of extreme curiosity mixed with fear and anger when strangers will hear rusty-ratchet sounds coming out of your pant's front pocket.
click the pic to access to download these clickety-clackety fly reel ringtone sounds in MP3 or directly for iPhone. enjoy !
as a continuation of the mini series: Rod Builders (And why they're so Dorky), this one's about line friction and 70's style porn-flick music.
as far as fly casting goes, line friction through the rod guides is both a bad and a good thing.
bad, because it simply has to slow down our thick and heavy fly lines (compared to monofilament) while fast casting and shooting line.
good, because and in the case of shooting line for the delivery cast, if the caster doesn't have perfect control of rod and line, the rod leg of the loop (the part of the line between the rod tip and loop face) will often develop slack in the form of waves and this leads to poor turnover and results in what can be considered "a long range Pile cast". at best.
what we see in the video is that a full ceramic ring lets the line slide optimally and creates virtually no line friction wear. in an ideal world all our rod rings would be fully equipped from tip to butt with similar rings, specially when we consider our thick and heavy fly lines and how we would benefit from this a lot more than the spinning rod/lure types, BUT ! even though line glide and line wear might be orgasmic, the added weight of these rings makes for a rod that feels like crap to cast and a likely increase of rod rebound which makes even more waves in the rod leg. until someone develops rings that will have a combined effect of the ceramics and the lightness of our standard fly rod rings we'll be stuck with the latter. yet another case of 'deal with it'…
anyway, we'll note that in the video the mono is slid back and forth at an angle that would never be used in a fishing situation and as such, i believe it better to appreciate it's all-around surreal aspect and of let yourself be inspired by the music… enjoy !
" Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, into silent water. "
here in the south of France we need to find good ways to keep both our minds and bodies busy during the long-long winters and one of the best ways to accomplish this is the all new Sensorsex Test with Two Sensors.
far from being some cheap gadget, the SsTwTS wonderfully accomplishes several (at least two) functions and does all of them wonderfully !
it keeps your casting arm in prime shape, ready to go on opening day and as a sideline, the sensor thingy transmits information to a computer and gives graphs and such about rod rotation, tracking, speed, translation and who knows what else all in the interest of studying fly casting mechanics and physics but that's not important because it's main function is that it fills your house with weird funk-like tunes from some bad '70′s flick, something we all need on a regular basis but generally speaking, lack.
it's creator, Tom Reidar Syversen A.K.A. SuperRattus from Norway tells me that it also sends 'sexy feeling' waves through the arm that spread throughout the whole body putting the user in a state of prime fly-flicking condition and awareness.
for the moment, and after some less than extensive testing, i haven't felt these but he affirms that this happens when the wrist is well conditioned. "It's a long winter, you know… "
soon to be on sale in the upcoming Limp Cobra Boutique, don't hesitate to give a call to reserve your plug and play SsTwTS today !

Nothing like putting your significant other on the hot spot!
On today's brand-new episode of The Bellas Podcast, Nikki Bella was joined by her boyfriend Artem Chigvintsev in studio.
During a casual Q&A, things got juicy when Nikki asked her man how many kids he wants to have. As she said: "I really need to know this. Me and my vagina and ovaries."
"You know what? I've never thought about exact number, but the only thing I can compare it to is obviously my parents and what they have," the Dancing With the Stars pro shared. "They have two of us. It's me and my brother."
He continued, "If I have to throw a number, I would probably say two because that's how I grew up and I had a good relationship with my brother."

If you're reading this blog, you care about practicing well. You want your practice time to pay off. What can you do to develop your skills quickly?
When I started ballroom lessons, my teacher introduced me to an exercise called waltz running steps. Essentially, I was doing waltz steps around the room. As he introduced this exercise, he told me a story about a top professional that had won eight hours of coaching with one of the best smooth instructors in the world. He flew to Europe for the coaching sessions to work on his waltz, and the instructor had him do nothing but waltz running steps, for eight hours. The same drill that was being introduced to me—a brand new ballroom dancer—had so much value that a high-level professional could spend eight hours doing nothing but that drill and improve substantially.
The moral of the story is that even simple exercises contain plenty of material to learn. In fact, lots of the depth of simple drills (like doing rolling triples or side passes) emerges as you continue to focus on those exercises.
We've talked about deliberate practice before. Now, you should think about how you can be more deliberate about noticing the details of your "simple" drills. When you step on your triples, do you land closer to one side of the foot than the other? What is your hip doing when you step? Your rib cage? Are you creating a contra-body angle with your shoulders?
Keep repeating your drill, and see how many details you can pick up. How many skills can you find in your drill? And how many more will you discover if you keep repeating that drill?
Most of the time, the problem isn't that we don't have the right drill. The problem is that we're not willing to let the drill we have teach us everything it has to offer. You can fix this. See how much you can learn from repeating your drill.[mediacredit inline="FALSE"]

Dad and His Persistence
When I used to open my dad's notebook, there were ugly hand-written letters, which could only be described as illegible. If I stared at those words carefully and used my detective skills, I might have noticed that my dad tried to write "I want a apple" or "I like listen to music". He wrote English words as if he was still using Chinese. Every word was compacted and structured like a Chinese character. The sentences had plenty of grammar errors, which made the whole text hard to understand. Although it might look like a book of scratch paper written by elementary students, it was my most treasured possession and played an important role in my English development, because this notebook was the embodiment of my dad's hard work and persistence.
During the summer of 2014, my parents suddenly decided to help me attend an American university. With more than a 7,000-mile distance, the United States had a different culture and language from China. When I was in high school, I had some basic English education courses, but it was parallel to elementary level in English native countries. I could only read some simple English texts and write simple sentences. I still remember that I always got a low score on my English tests. Before I decided to study abroad, I had never thought that my poor English literacy was a problem. However, going to an American university required me to take the SAT test and an English requirement test called TOEFL, so I realized that I had to study.
Getting deep into studying a foreign language was not a fun process, especially memorizing vocabulary. Chinese characters rely on their shapes to convey the idea, but English words are the combination of different letters. My mind was used to Chinese characters, so I found memorizing English words difficult. I almost gave up. I told my dad that studying a foreign language was too difficult for me and I did not want to continue.
"Not difficult but challenging, sweetie," Dad said.
"You know nothing, Dad. I can't do this."
"Ha-ha, actually I know," he laughed. "Learning something new is never easy, but trust me! Everyone can do it if they persist. If you don't mind, I can study with you."
"You are 50 years old and want to learn a new language?" I asked.
"Then what's the problem?" He replied.
I did not believe that my dad could study English with me at first. He was a middle-aged man and his English was even worse than mine, but then I found that my dad was serious. Starting with the word "abandon" at the beginning of the alphabet, every Sunday he wrote words that he planned to memorize in a small notebook; during weekdays, he memorized those words by writing them on a piece of paper many times. His notebook was messy and his handwriting was illegible, but when I saw his hard work, I had a thought in my mind that I could not let my dad catch up to me.
I began to memorize words with a passion that I had never had before. I learned the roots and affixes, such as "un" or "anti" indicating "not" or "opposite", which made my learning process much easier. Every day I talked with my dad about how many words I memorized, and my dad would tell me how many words he learned. Sometimes we tested each other and made a deal that the loser would pay the lunch bill for the winner. Of course, I was always the winner, but he never lost his confidence or stopped working. Books about English vocabulary and grammar filled his bookshelves in our house. His persistence encouraged me and made me even more hard-working than before.
After we started to learn English grammar, my dad had a much bigger problem than I did. English sentences has a reverse order than Chinese. For example, "Do you like to eat rice" in English should be restructured as "You like to eat rice do?" in Chinese. My mind and tongue used Chinese for only 18 years, but my dad used it for 50 years. He was confused by the "weird" structure, but he never gave up studying. He described himself as "trouble tolerant".
Watching my dad continuously study English made me reflect on my own development. I always believed that as an 18-year-old teenager, I had a better memory than my 50-year-old dad. If he could persist working on English grammar, I could also achieve it. I read several grammar books and attended an extra English class. At first, my essays were composed of simple sentences and lacked a clear structure, but after reading some English articles, I tried to work on writing complex sentences with one or more clauses. Two months later, I showed my first, complete English essay, Education as a Tool, to my dad. He read it out loud and then stared at me, "Better than what I wrote. You now know how to pursue what you want."
Then, I successfully got a good grade on the SAT and TOEFL tests and was admitted by UC Davis. Yesterday, I had a video chat with my dad, and he said that he was still studying English. He read Animal Farm by George Orwell recently and thought he had a better understanding of English texts. He told me that even though he knew that he would never use English for the rest of his life, he refused to give up halfway. I will not stop learning, either. Now, my English has improved a lot, but it is not as good as native speakers. I still have a lot of grammar errors in my writings, and I always need time to organize English sentences when speaking. However, I am not afraid. Thanks to my dad, I know that if I persist in studying English, anything will be possible. Although I need to continuously work on English and practice for many years to get rid of the influence from my mother tongue, I will not give up.
Now, when I open my dad's notebook and read his terrible English handwriting, I know that he wants to tell me how to develop my language and achieve my goals: use my persistence and never stop!

Magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, was developed for research in quantum physics. To suggest that an MRI is confined to looking only at white matter is inaccurate; hydrogen atoms are in all tissues.
Each point on an MRI represents the statistical treatment of the nuclei of hydrogen atoms in excited spin states, and should not be interpreted as real tissue.
Physicists suggest that 3% of hydrogen atoms respond, engineers think that perhaps 9% do, and the medical system believes that every hydrogen atom responds.
My MRI done in 1995 has too many spots to count, with some in the thalamus and parietal lobe suggesting that I cannot process any sensory information. In other words, I do not understand what I see, hear, smell, taste and touch. The MRI has been interpreted to mean that I require 24 hour care.
Hah! I am 72 years old, and fully mobile – and I always find my way home!
When diagnosed in 1967 I found research detailing electron microscope slides that proves myelin heals with movement. I have recovered from every symptom by being persistent in moving to my limit, then resting to recuperate energy. Many authors have observed that lack of movement is far more damaging than the disease process.
In light of evidentiary research that has been done with electron microscope slides of real tissue, the interpretation of MRI studies is in need of review.
I have to keep reminding myself that this is the 21st century!
Eva Marsh BSc Physics, MEng Electrical Engineering
This is exactly the question I wanted to ask at the last appointment for my son. He has ups and downs with symptoms seeming to increase, then decrease, depending of course on the weather, activity, overall health, and emotional condition. We are reassured by our University of Vermont MS Neurologists that no new lesions are found, and they recommend longer time between MRI's (that's a good thing), unless something arises.
Thank you for asking the right question and sharing your information.
I had other symptoms of MS before I was diagnosed. All my fault. I kept talking about my feeling tired all the time and my GP thought it had to do with my depression. Most times I was depressed because I could not function because I was tired.
I do suffer from a form of depression so we were all going around in circles.
I finally, after years mentioned the tingling I had for years. My GP"s reaction was go to a neurologist. I knew a great one, who I had dealt with because of a friend. I made an appointment.
While waiting, I mentioned this to a friend in the final months of becoming a nurse practitioner. She said, "I'm not diagnosing you but my feeling is that you have MS because I do."
After the usual tests and a spinal puncture, I was diagnosed nosed and at last learned my energy had flown the coop because of MS. Not that my clinical depression doesn't add fuel to that fire. But I had an answer as to why no antidepressants fixed my fatigue: because it is MS add a symptom called lassitude.
Sorry to babble on and on but your article helps my explanations to my friends. I emailed it to a few of them in terms of the difference between just feeling tired (or lazy, which caused my guilt) and lassitude.
In other words: thank you so much. <3
This is always what I want to ask.
Does MS cause depression? Or am I depressed because I have MS?
Which came first, the chicken or the egg.
Thank you! This is the most helpful (in terms of reassurance, which is very helpful) article I've read on this page, or anywhere, in a long, long time. We all think the MRI can see everything, but we know ourselves best!
Mjvig3, thank you so much for taking the time to let me know this was helpful. All I want out of my MS advocacy work is to help others, as I have been helped through education and support. Your comments have made my day and reaffirm I am on the right path. be well, Laura
thank you so much for this article. finally, some answers! why aren't all ms drs. able to give a complete answer to questions we have? I've gotten several times from my neuro, that my symptom is not ms related. only to return in 6 months and have him say that yes, it is ms related. kinda frustrating and confusing! but he is a good dr I think..
Honestly, I thought I was the only one that ever felt like getting worse was all in my mind.
no, Jef…. you are not alone in being confused about this one. -Laura
Thank you! It sort of makes sense, too bad I didn't hear it from my Doc!
Very insightful. I didn't know any of this. Thank you!
Thanks for posting!! When I was first diagnosed, I had severe optic neuritis requiring IV steroids. Then a few months later I got it in my right eye. I had a spinal tap that was positive for myelin proteins, I had a severe case of L'hermittes, vertigo, numbness, and fatigue. AND I have two siblings with MS. But I did not have visible lesions on my MRI. I had additional tests including VER and SER. All tests except the MRI confirmed MS.
A few years ago I had spinal cord stimulator implanted, so I can no longer have MRIs. But that did not stop my neurologist from effectively treating my recent exacerbation that included a new symptom–bowel incontinence–so just because your MRI is not showing lesions does not mean you don't have MS. On the upside, few to no lesions can lead to a better prognosis.
You are another example of why doctors must listen to the patient and not just rely on tests. Thanks for sharing your story. Laura
Thanks for this reminder, Laura. For years now the docs have been searching in vain for cervical lesions to explain various deficits that keep showing up in my neuro exams. Great as MRIs are, we forget they have severe limitations as well.
Thanks too for your comments about subjective vs. objective effects of MS.There's no way to measure some aspects of this disease. It has riled me in the past to see relative ability to move held up as the one criterion upon which some important medical decisions are based.
It was only recently, with advanced MRI technology that is not available many places, that damage in the grey matter was found in MS. This was initially thought to be the result of the death of demylinated neurons downstream from the damaged grey matter. Now it as raised questions bout whether demyelination is the thing that starts th process of MS. Which only goes to show that for those of us that don't have advanced medical research training MS is a very hard disease to understand. It seems that it is hard to understand for the researchers, too. Sometimes it is rocket science.
I guess while it's not all in my mind it is all in my brain.
Thank you for the MRI update. I will talk to my md about this. He is not adverse to giving me more time.

Wanting it to use in a Vodafone R201 Wifi Modem I just picked up.
Any pointers to whether I can set up the web interface to allow it to send texts?
wongtop: If you're in Whakatane, data on 2degrees will be expensive as you are outside of their broadband zone (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown). You will probably be better off on Vodafone or Telecom.
1eStar: 2degrees data price is same as vodafone $6/50MB or $10/100MB.
This is my alternative data avenue when I'm out of Telecom coverage.
Data sim comes loaded with 100meg pack for $20
But I think JohnR is right, and it will be slightly more economic to buy normal $5 sim and topup
I would go vodafone if the sim price wasn't so eye-gouging

An Open Letter to "Jesse Leon Rogers"
Arrest Warrant Issued For Ron Luce of Teen Mania
According to Christianity Today and World Magazine, Compassion International sued Teen Mania for breach of contract after failing to follow through on Child Sponsorship advertising last year. Teen Mania then refused to refund CI's invested $160,000.
Teen Mania is said to have disregarded the suit resulting in the Court awarding Compassion International the full amount plus court and attorney fees.
World Magazine reports that a warrant has now been issued for the arrest of Ron Luce.
Al Mohler: "Tebow's Big Fumble"
Wow! While most were supportive, some were angered by my inclusion of the word "compromise" in the title of the post regarding Tebow's recent announcement that he would not follow through with his speaking engagement at First Baptist Church in Dallas. However, I am comforted by the insight of Dr. Al Mohler in his recent coverage of the controversy.
Did Tebow actually compromise on serious convictional issues in scripture about the "Exclusivity of Christ" and "homosexuality?" I am inclined to think so.
Read Mohler before you decide. He documents the kind of pressure applied to Tebow to withdraw from his speaking engagement as revealed in the articles extracts below.
Remember, it is always wrong to be "lovingly winsome" if it means portraying biblical truth as "hatefully offensive".
"…controversy quickly shifted to secular outrage that Tebow would agree to speak to a church known for such beliefs.
Gregg Doyel of CBS Sports warned, "Tim Tebow is about to make the biggest mistake of his life" by speaking at "a hateful Baptist preacher's church." Doyel described Jeffress as "an evangelical cretin" guilty of serial hate speech. Of course, Doyel engaged in hateful and slanderous speech of his own by associating Jeffress with the truly hateful Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas. Jeffress "isn't as bad as Westboro," Doyel admitted, "But he comes close. Too close."
Other sportswriters piled on. Benjamin Hochman of The Denver Post offered his own warning to Tebow: "After a season on the sidelines, the ball's in your hands, Timmy. Better not fumble this one."
…Writing at The Huffington Post, Paul Brandeis Raushenbush made it clear the controversy wasn't just a matter of Jeffress's tone, conceding, "while Dr. Jeffress has a tendency not to sugarcoat his feelings," he is nonetheless voicing what evangelical Christians "have been saying for a long time." The central scandal here is the belief that Jesus is the only Savior and that homosexual behavior is sin. In terms of the larger public debate, it is the issue of homosexuality that has predominated the larger public debate… "
…Evangelical Christians are now called upon to think strategically about what it means to speak truthfully and lovingly to a society that increasingly sees us as the moral outlaws."
Drunken Worship Leaders
It's a sad day in the Kingdom!
Antinomian "worship leaders" using their so-called liberty as occasion for drunkenness and vile vulgarities has now become all to common. Little wonder, local churches reject biblical standards and flagrantly refuse to administer anything akin to restorative discipline. If you do, you are labeled a cult. If you don't, you are called a "grace" church.
The Reformers called these libertine types "false churches". I stand with the Reformers!
"…it is increasingly common to hear about worship leaders getting drunk after church services and dropping f-bombs while they boast about their "liberty" in the Lord."
"One of my closest ministry colleagues posted this on his Facebook page last year: "There was a knot in the pit of my stomach this afternoon after I hung up the phone with a friend of mine who pastors a growing church in our city. He relayed to me an anguishing story of how some members from his worship team were hanging out with other worship leaders in a key local church. He reported to me that his team came back from that hang-out experience quite perplexed as the f-bombs were flying from the openly and unashamedly drunk worship leaders."
Another pastor told me that he sent a number of young people from his congregation to train in a ministry school known for its worship. All of them came back to his church with a drinking problem, the result of hanging out with other "worshipers" in the ministry school. And on and on it goes."
How Did We Get Here?
This week Ministry Today posted an article that cited some very disturbing statistics regarding the alarming condition of today's ministers in the church. How did we get here?
- 38 percent of ministers have admitted to having a one-time or ongoing affair since they began their ministry.
- Even more have admitted to looking at pornography via their computers at home and or at their church office.
- 77 percent of ministers surveyed admitted that they do not have a good marriage.
- 1,500 pastors leave the ministry each month due to moral failure, spiritual burnout, or contention in their churches, never returning to the ministry.
"Wimpy Pastors Produce Wimpy Christians"
Dr. Robert Jeffress is the senior pastor of the 11,000-member First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas. Dr. Jeffress has been honored with the Daniel Award for his steadfast commitment and boldness in proclaiming the uncompromising Word of God.
The following statements are extracts from an interview Jeffress did with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News.
Now here is an SBC minister that I can follow:
"I think one reason is a lot of Christian leaders have the wrong idea about Jesus," Jeffress replied when asked the question. "They see Jesus as this little, wimpy guy who walked around plucking daisies and eating birdseed and saying nice things, but never doing anything controversial. The fact is, Jesus did confront his culture with truth — and he ended up being crucified because of it."
"Wimpy pastors produce wimpy Christians — and that is why we are losing this culture war," he emphasized.
"I believe it's time for pastors to say, You know, I don't care about controversy, I don't care whether I'm going to lose church members, I don't care about building a big church. I'm going to stand for truth regardless of what happens."
Ministers Get Low Rating On Honesty and Ethical Standards
According to Gallop, Americans rate the honesty and ethical standards of the medical profession— nurses, pharmacists, and doctors — the highest of the 21 professions tested. Since 1999, Nurses continue to enjoy the highest trust of the public.
It's obvious that Ministers have a serious "reputation problem" as trust in the profession continues to decline. I submit that this is now a "status confessionis" issue for the true church. But more on that later.

What type of games are you interested in? Puzzles, rpgs, platform...?
eshop games I've enjoyed in the past...
Mighty Switchforce
Marvel 3D Pinball
The Denpamen
Mario vs Donkey Kong Minis March Again
Pocket Card Jockey
Posts 1,401 to 1,420 of 1,426
@x-Lyfa Hmm I really recommend shinobi 3 or river city ransom (in case you don't know it's a beat em up with rpg elements) but if you really want an rpg... I recommend waiting for an Etryan Odyssey IV discount... there's also Citizens of Earth, I believe it was less than 9 bucks and it's kinda similar to Earthbound.
I wasn't really sure where to ask this. Xeodrifter is on a good sale right now, and I know it has crossbuy with the Wii U, but the description in the eShop says that if you buy it at full price, you get the Wii U version for free (and vice versa). Does anyone know if you do not get both versions when they are on sale? And does Mutant Mudds have crossbuy, too, or just Xeodrifter?
3DS Friend Code: 5069-3937-8083
Okay, follow up. Is there a difference between the Mutant Mudds on 3DS vs. Wii U? The Wii U one is called "Deluxe," but the 3DS one mentions having received 20 new levels. So are they both the same now, or does the Wii U version still have more content. I would rather get the 3DS one as it was made for 3D and it works better that way, but if the Wii U version has more content that will be the better value.

Hey guys,
need some help - or should i say 'advice' - with the Street Fighter franchise.
There are three of them on MyNintendo and they'll expire soon.
i'm planning on getting at least one of them, but i'm unfamiliar to the series.
Which of 'em is the 'newest' (original release) ?
What is the difference between 'em?
What do you recommend to a newbie to start off?
Games are Street Fighter Alpha 2, Street Fighter II - Turbo, Super Street Fighter II - The New Challengers
I'm completely confused and this fandom wiki ain't help much >.<
Edited on by x-Lyfa
From newest to oldest
Street Fighter Alpha 2, New challengers, turbo.
Alpha 2 gives off the most changes from the 3, A super bar to unleash powerful attacks and a custom combo system akin to a marvel vs capcom-style beatdown though the latter can be tricky to perform. The biggest roster out of the 3 although some of the original SF2 characters don't return here.
New Challengers give you... you'll never believe it, new challengers along with subtle improvements to the presentation.
Turbo speeds up the game to ludicrous speed if you wish to make it go fast, but be careful, faster speed means faster reaction time and not to slow down on the inputs for special moves.
I say go with alpha 2. Any more questions? Just ask.

Was Mariobro4. No, I'm not taking off my backpack...it's important.

thx for the infos.
so it'll be Alpha 2 then :3
or Super SF 2 The New Challengers (i do like the screenshots of it)
whats about the difficulty? Are they even or is one more challenging than the other one?
(yep i'm a totally noob if it comes to SF xD)
@x-Lyfa They're even....evenly hard. Dropping down the difficulty a bit if you're easily frustrated is recommended.
Was Mariobro4. No, I'm not taking off my backpack...it's important.

I bought street fighter alpha 2 and, I don't like the way it plays on 3ds are there any better VC street fighter games?
How is River City: Knights of Justice and how is it how is it compared to Tokyo Rumble which I already have on my 3DS?
Bah-Weep-Graaaaagnah Wheep Ni Ni Bong
@HeroOfCybertron Honestly... inferior. It's more of the same but less. Shorter campaign, easier, less interesting story, less modes... less. It's not bad by any means, Kunio games are tons of fun, but aside from the medieval setting it can't offer anything Tokyo Rumble hasn't offered. If you crave for more games like it, considering the cheap price, it's a good option.
Edited on by roy130390
I've just found out that my New 3DS has $2.30 credit left on it. Any suggestions?

text: BUSINESS German giant waking to digital 4:00 AM PST 12/4/2007 by Scott Roxborough , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Pieces finally falling together in Europe's largest market After more than a decade of lagging behind, Germany's digital TV market seems poised to reach critical mass, with each of the ma-jor players — Hollywood, local free-TV giants, cable companies and telecoms — all pushing for digital expansion. After years of dismissing digital TV as "irrelevant," German free-TV giants RTL and Pro7Sat.1 have launched four new digital channels: RTL with RTL Crime and RTL Living, Pro7Sat.1 with Sat.1 Comedy and Kabel 1 Classics. Cable consolidation, long-hoped for, has finally begun. In September, Germany's top cable group, Kabel Deutschland (KDG), signed a deal valued at nearly $900 million that many analysts saw as a breakthrough in the stagnant German market. Now a handful of players — KDG, Orion, Unity Media Kabel BW — have the size and technical infrastructure to start turning digital TV from a money pit into a cash cow. Deutsche Tele-kom, the telephone and ISP market leader with 10 million high-speed households, has rolled out a massive national campaign to sell its IP-TV offering, hiring one of Germany's leading agencies, Hamburg-based GFEH, to handle online promotion.The Hollywood studios are out in force, signing digital VOD deals with cable and IP-TV providers, launching new digital channels and cross-promoting like crazy between their German free-to-air and pay offerings. "All the players that used to be fighting one another are now pulling together," said Wolfram Winter, head of Premiere Star, the new digital satellite service launched Sept. 13 by German pay TV platform Premiere. "Finally we are starting to see the promise of digital pay in Germany that began way back in 1996 with the launch of (now-defunct pay channel) DF1.""The German television market is like a huge tanker, it takes a long time to get moving, and it's taken a long time to get things started on digital TV," said Robert Niemann, managing director of Sony Pictures International Television Networks Germany, which operates digital channels AXN and ANIMAX. "But once that tanker starts moving, it develops an incredible momentum. The momentum for digital TV has started, and I think growth in the coming years will be enormous." For producers and rights-holders, a real digital pay market in Europe's largest territory promises a bonanza of new revenue as niche audiences and second-run opportunities open up. Germany has always been the odd man out in Europe, consisting of an enormous free TV market, with 60 million plus households, latched to a tiny pay TV business with about 4 million subscribers. This has led to strange distortions. RTL and Pro7Sat.1 have been able to leverage the profits from Germany's massive free-TV business to build pan-European empires. But Germany's top pay TV company, Premiere, is a mite compared with European neighbors BSkyB and Canal Plus. "Premiere is not able to co-finance programming, that's unheard of in the pay TV market," according to Herbert Kloiber of Tele Munchen Group. Slowly, however, things are changing. Several hot U.S. series including "Lost" and "Rome" had their German premiere on pay TV before moving to free-to-air, something previously unheard of in the market. "We are seeing the start of something like the basic cable model in the U.S., with series debuting on digital pay before moving to free," said Niemann of SPTI Germany. Niemann notes that this development has opened up opportunities for niche programming.FX's long-running "The Shield," for example, was a flop when the first season aired on free-TV channel Pro7. Strict regulations regarding violence on German TV meant that the hard-hitting series was forced into an unattractive late-night slot, and ratings were dire. Pro7 dropped the show. When digital channel AXN launched in Germany in 2004, it picked up new seasons of "Shield" and made the series a main focus of its promotion campaign. The series has become so successful that Pro7's sister channel Kabel 1 is giving it another shot, airing the old "Shield" seasons while AXN carries the new shows. Across the German digital dial, new niche channels are sprouting up and catering to previously ignored audiences, from the North American Sports Network (NASN) for German baseball and basketball fans to the family entertainment on Nick Premium to the 60-plus crowd targeted by German folk music channel Goldstar TV. Then there is IP-TV. Entertain, the IP-TV offering from Deutsche Telekom, launched a new marketing offensive this fall. Its subscriber base is still tiny, but Telekom is throwing its considerable marketing weight behind the broadband TV rollout, which it sees as key to selling lucrative triple play offerings — Internet, telephony and television — to customers. Entertain currently offers the broadest range of channels —145 — on offer in Germany as well as a quickly expanding VOD library. "Things are moving, but the uptake of digital TV is still slow, the networks have to be upgraded," said Catherine Muhlemann, senior vp of MTV Networks Germany. "But cable operators are starting to grow the business. KDG now has something like 600,000 digital subscribers — that's a real market."Germany has never been a first adapter when it comes to new technology. The market for personal computers, DVD players and the Internet all lagged before reaching a crucial tipping point. When that tipping point will be reached for digital TV is still an open question. But for the first time in Germany, the signs are pointing in the right direction.

MuHu launches mobile based ADAS technology
MuHu has announced the availability of their Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). It is known that MuHu provides of video intelligence for the transportation industry.This breakthrough in crash avoidance technology is the first ADAS live camera system to be available on a smartphone or tablet.
Leveraging the phone's cameras and local processing capabilities for artificial intelligence-based object recognition, MuHu ADAS technology helps prevent accidents by providing real-time audible and visual warnings to drivers and safety alerts to fleet managers.
The MuHu application functions like any app on an Android device. The Android device mounts on the windshield of a vehicle, allowing forward-facing and selfie cameras to process video of the driver and the road ahead. The ADAS alerts the driver of threats in real-time. Simultaneously, the system streams video and alerts to the cloud and intelligently notifies fleet managers of challenges the driver is actively facing. All events, video, and analytics are available in real-time through MuHu's SaaS portal.
MuHu's ADAS includes:
- Forward collision: MuHu Follow Manager provides crash avoidance by warning drivers when they are driving too closely or approaching another vehicle.
- Lane departure: Drivers receive a warning if they are drifting out of their lane or off the road.
- Speeding by posted road signs: Using a combination of visual intelligence and mapping APIs,
- MuHu intelligently determines the speed limit and warns drivers when they are driving faster than they should be.
- In addition to these driver warnings, fleet managers receive alerts, video clips, and driver analytics when their drivers are going too fast, accelerating or braking too hard, and/or experiencing G-sensor events such as those in crashes.
Blake Gasca, CEO of MuHu, says the addition of the ADAS solution fills a need in the transportation industry. "Where most ADAS solutions are expensive, siloed, proprietary pieces of hardware, we take pride in knowing we've built a solution that integrates with our best-in-class video application," Gasca says. "By eliminating hardware and installation costs, the transportation industry now has a solution for those who previously couldn't afford such important safety features."

Take Your Meds After Procedure to Boost Healthy Recovery Odds
Medication adherence is essential, but a recent American Heart Association statement urges special care to avoid drug interactions with your statins.
After receiving a stent in your heart or undergoing bypass or valve surgery, sticking with your medication regimen may be more important than ever. A recent study published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation found that after a heart procedure, patients who strictly followed their prescription medication routine were more than twice as likely to have event-free rates of survival compared with those who did not adhere to medication therapy.

Demi Lovato has reportedly slammed Mariah Carey for the "nasty" way she treats Jennifer Lopez.
The Heart Attack singer allegedly commented on an Instagram meme comparing Mariah to Ariana Grande, with the caption, "When you order it online vs when it arrives", which hints that Ariana cannot match up to Mariah.
Demi wrote, "You got it the wrong way around honey," hinting that she preferred Ariana to Mariah, and she later explained her remarks by criticising Mariah for the way she treats people.
"Mariah is a legend and is so talented but constantly disses people," she is reported to have written in an Instagram comment. "It's nasty the way she treats Jennifer. Ari (Ariana) did nothing wrong."
Mariah famously told paparazzi, "I don't know her," when asked about Jennifer in the early 2000s and they have both been asked about it ever since. The Jenny From the Block singer recently told U.S. host Wendy Williams, "(Mariah) is forgetful I guess! We've met many times."
In May (16), Mariah told Andy Cohen on U.S. chat show Watch What Happens Live, "That was so long ago, I can't believe people still make such a big deal about it," but still continued to insist she doesn't know Jennifer when asked if she thought the singer/actress was cool.
"I don't know her, what am I supposed to say?," she explained. "I'm not going to put on a thing, 'Oh, we're all Hollywood, let's all just pretend we're best friends because we're in that land.'"
She clarified she is aware of who Jennifer is but they have never had a conversation beyond a quick introduction so she feels she doesn't know her well as a person.
Demi appears to have referenced the drama around her Instagram comments on Twitter. Hours later, she wrote, "Too tired to give two f**ks... Up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, ups and downs." (HW/WNWCHP&WNWCMIR/SVB)

On Monday when I went to access my blog that I have had since December 2007 I received a message stating that Live Spaces had reached an agreement with WordPress.com and that I had an option to move our postings over. I was a bit surprised, but actually quite relieved at the same time. I knew it was time for a change for a long time now and this was my opportunity. It did state that I could still continue making posts through the end of the year, but after that it was going to be locked down and then as of March of next year I would not have an opportunity to do the conversion anymore. Kind of like last year when some of the services I was using decided to pack up and shutdown – Goodbye GeoCities, Popfly, and now Soapbox.
Some of the things I have been wanting for my existing site like better stats (actually at this point any stats since Live Spaces dumped them all together a few months back without any warning), improved comment control, tagging, top and recent post displaying, more layout display control, calendar and number of posting display, twitter display, removal of cryptic URL references, and more were all of a sudden available to me within just a couple of minutes.
First I downloaded my 266 existing blog posts (nice touch to provide this option during this transition) and this included the comments and images as well. Then I did the conversion process and this also redirects Live Space references to WordPress.com and after just a couple of minutes I was up and running. I was free! Sweet!
Now I have so much and it is just so easy to setup and use, just have to make a decision on how I want it to look now. Here are a few things I have already done (and I am sure this will change a few more times over the next couple of weeks) and have access to now:
1. Top and Recent Post display – now with the improved stats and widget capability I can quickly include this on my site for visitors to reference
2. Blog Stats – what I have been wanting and more. Referrers, Top Posts & Pages, Search Engine Terms, Clicks, Summary
3. Tagging – now I just need to add them to posts and then I can include the nice little Tag Cloud in addition to categorizing posts (and I can have more than one tag or category per posting now!)
4. Post Counts for Archives and Categories – nice little touch and available with a simply checkbox option in the widget and just like magic after the item you will see in parenthesis the post count
5. Twitter display – ability to show some of my recent tweets
6. Comment control – spam filtering and moderating capabilities (I actually received an email this morning alerting me of a comment and giving me an option to approve it. Plus it catches spam comments (finally, thank you) and I can edit comments (nice)
7. Post Calendar – highlights the days that I blogged on (just a nice little touch and good visualization for me to keep me motivated)
8. Goodbye cryptic Live Spaces URLs – now people will have an idea of what I am directing them to when I send them a URL
so instead of this: http://denglishbi.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CD3E77E793DF6178!3457.entry
they will now see this: https://denglishbi.wordpress.com/2010/06/23/sorting-powerpivot-labels-manually/
9. Nice little SnapShot like site display for viewers (it probably is SnapShot, maybe WordPress bought them, not sure) – this gets displayed when you hover over a URL in a posting
10. Built in blog searching capability – had to setup a gadget on Live Spaces and typically did not produce any results recently which was a major disappointment, could have been a code change
11. Themes, Pages, Navigation, and more – these are additional items that I will be playing around with over the next couple of weeks, so don't be surprised if the view changes. There probably is a way now to include the Microsoft MVP logo now… Lots of options and I have only been using the new set of tools for just a couple of days and I am probably just scraping the surface.
If only I could have done this switch over sooner. It is such a relief to switch over and just after a couple of days I am extremely pleased of the move. Thanks Live Spaces and three cheers to WordPress!

The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights is set to review Communist Cuba's record of forced disappearances. It is the first time such a review will occur following the death of dictator Fidel Castro, and it comes at a time in which dissidents warn oppressive police behavior against them is on the rise.
In an announcement this week, the UN said that Cuba, along with Ecuador and Senegal, will have their records reviewed by the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances (CED). The three nations have signed and ratified the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, which requires the UN to check their records. An enforced disappearance is a government abduction of an individual in which their relatives are not provided information as to where they have been apprehended or why. Those "disappeared" are rarely seen again.
The final reports on all three nations will be published on March 17.
The last time the UN commission reviewed Cuba was in 2012. That report, written by "a multidisciplinary working group made up of many government and/or State ministries and institutions, the National Assembly, NGOs and other relevant organizations," heaped effusive praise on the community autocracy.
"The rights to life, liberty and security of person have always been mainstays of the Cuban Revolution, its authorities and society at large, even though Cuba has had to face over 50 years of aggression, terrorism and a harsh economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the Government of the United States of America," the 2012 report reads. "There have been no cases of enforced disappearance in Cuba since the revolutionary triumph of 1959."
The report goes on to claim that "the concept of holding a detainee or prisoner incommunicado is alien to criminal and procedural practice in Cuba."
All three assertions – that Cuba respects the sanctity of life of its prisoners, that no disappearances have occurred in Cuba since 1959, and that Cuba has never held prisoners incommunicado – are demonstrably false. There is little reason to believe the 2017 update to this report will contain more believable challenges to the Communist regime, though all such reviews present an opportunity to condemn the authoritarian regime for its crimes.
The case of Hamell Santiago Maz Hernández, who died in late February, contradicts the claim that Cuba values the life of its people. Maz Hernández died after spending eight months in the notorious Combinado del Este maximum security prison, used to house political dissidents. The government claims cardiac arrest as the cause of death but his dissident organization, the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU), reject this assertion and have vowed an investigation. There is no evidence Maz Hernández received medical care while in the prison. He was facing the charge of "desacato," or "disrespect" – a catch-all crime used against anti-communist protesters.
Another former inmate of Combinado del Este, Danilo Maldonado Machado, can testify to being held incommunicado. The artist, known by his pseudonym "El Sexto," was transferred to Combinado del Este without his family being alerted. His fiance, he later said, only knew of his transfer because she arrived in time to see the van driving him away, and he was able to shout the name of the new facility to her. Maldonado, who was serving time without being charged following public celebrations of Fidel Castro's death, later said he was beaten severely enough to trigger asthma attacks and not provided medical care.
A record also exists of forced disappearances since 1959, contra the UN report. According to Cuba Archive's record of human rights crimes under the Castro brothers, at least 23 confirmed disappearances occurred between 1959 and 2014. One hundred other unconfirmed records exist. These numbers are low because, for most of its time in power, the Communist Revolution opted for openly executing its enemies via firing squad. Cuba Archive counts over three thousand firing squad executions and another 1,116 extrajudicial killings.
At the time of Fidel Castro's death, the state had executed 5,775, including non-firing squad killings. Another 20,000 Cubans were believed to have died in the straits between Cuba and Florida, drowning in escape attempts from the island. Sixteen Cubans died while on hunger strike in prison; 209 died of health problems upon being denied medical care in prison.

More Details
Before you can travel outside the country, you will have to be in possession of two important documents – your international passport and your travel visa. Without both, you can not travel out of the country, at least not legally. The international passport serves the same purpose as your national identity card – shows that you are a citizen of SA – but on an international level. Without the international passport, it would be impossible to tell the country you belong to. In most cases, the international passport comes with a picture of your face, your name, and other details.
The travel visa is another document that is required by immigration officials if you are to travel to another country. The travel visa often comes attached to your international passport or as a separate document. It tells of your purpose of visit to a country, the places you can visit while in the country and the length of your visit. The travel visa also specifies whether you can work in a country or not. Obtaining a visa to some countries sometimes can be really difficult as the visa policies are often very strict. The stricter visa policies are due in part to prevent immigrants from impoverished countries from flocking into more economically developed countries in search of better opportunities, placing a strain on many countries' healthcare systems and other social services. However, many countries have bilateral agreements in place to waive visa requirements altogether for visitors intending to stay for brief periods of time.
During international travels, it is necessary that you are in possession of both the travel visa and the international passport before you can leave your country. However, with a special agreement between the government of two or more countries, members of both countries can move freely between each country without obtaining a document stating the purpose of visit – the travel visa. With only the international passport, members can move freely and stay in a foreign country for a specific period of time before they can return to their country or if they wish to extend their time of stay after the expiration of the visa-free period, they could easily apply for and obtain a visa permitting them to remain in the country.

About Us
Northside Christian Church is an Independent Christian Church that began on August 27, 1967. We are a conservative, evangelical church with the desire to share the life changing Gospel of Jesus Christ with our neighbors in Macon, as well as, around the world through missions.
We believe our purpose as individuals and as the Church is to "Seek and Reflect God's Glory!" (II Corinthians 3:18) We want everything we do to fall under one of these two directives. If a program or activity does not help us seek God or reflect Him to those around us, we don't want to be involved with it. This helps keep us focused on things that really matter and have eternal significance.
In addition to our clear purpose, we believe we have a compelling mission; to "Serve Families with Hope and a Future!" (Jeremiah 29:11) It is this mission that drives us to provide effective programs for every member of the family. Our youth ministry is dynamic, our children's ministry is wonderful, our seniors ministry is special, our women's ministry is enriching, our men's ministry is powerful, our music ministry is exciting and the list could go on and on. There is a place for everyone here at Northside.
We are organized around Jesus as the Head of the Church and the Bible as our rule in doctrine and in life. We operate under a "Church Board" comprised of both "Elders" and "Deacons" as identified in I Timothy chapter 3. These offices are elected positions and are selected by the Church membership. Our staff serves under the authority of the "Church Board".
All of your questions are welcomed and we would love to talk with you about Northside and the wonderful things that God is doing here.

You all know this is a WTF house. Let me explain the room in question. The kids' rooms were previously one room used by Jo Lydia Craven as her studio. We divided the room as it originally was since my 8 year old son and almost 11 year old daughter needed separate rooms. One of the previous owners had installed fixed plywood shelves in the closet on Allison's side for drying pottery.
For Allison's birthday next week, I wanted to rip out the plywood shelving from her closet and install some more functional shelving and a clothes rod for her. By this point, we should be pretty adept at tearing out someone else's handy work. This closet was a toughie. The plywood was supported by pressure-treated 2x4's attached to the walls with roofing nails. You know those little bastards with the grooves on them to keep your shingles from flying away. Not only did we unintentionally demolish the drywall, we also discovered mold behind the shelves, presumably from wet pottery. The whole project just got infinitely more complex. We waited for a break in the rain to run into town to get some sheetrock.
Then we ran into all this crazy wiring that at the very least is consistent with the rest of the house. We've probably removed 50 feet of unnecessary or otherwise unidentifiably functional wiring from the basement alone. Some of the wiring is for an elaborate driveway alarm system which included at least 4 alarms, perhaps more.
Jay was able to remove said wiring without lighting himself up, and now I'm left with patches of wall paper peeking through the paint. That's a whole other story. The entire house is painted over wall paper.
As I write, I am waiting for the second coat of mud to dry so that I can prime, paint and install the new shelving before Friday morning when I am scheduled to leave to get the kids in TN. Jay is a saint considering he woke up at 4:30 am today to sand and apply the second coat of mud before going to work. He is off the hook for part 2 of the birthday surprise: building a loft bed. Allison will just get an IOU for that. Tonight, Jay gets Tandoori Chicken and a nice red.

HOUSTON, TX – 97-year-old area man, Henry Youngheart, passed away very unexpectedly Tuesday overnight. Autopsy revealed Henry died of a rare case of geriatric-onset sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
His spritely daughter, Esther, 71, tells the GomerBlog team, "We were understandably shocked to hear the news. But we knew he had all the risk factors for SIDS: he was exposed to his own cigarette smoke, usually slept on his stomach in a pool of comfy blankets, and had stopped using a pacifier. But his biggest risk factor was never being breastfed. It really is a tragedy."
Esther is hoping her father's case raises awareness of geriatric-onset SIDS. "If just one person is saved from our tragedy and loss, unnecessarily frightening everyone else will be totally worth it."
