I agree, the last generation was over before it began and it was a rather underwhelming race to second, and that wasn't much of a race.
This time though Microsoft may have a fairly big lead but at the rate Wii is selling Nintendo could catch up faster than expected. And yes this time it is Sony who now has all the work to do. Making this generation something special.
Good luck to all three I say, the better the sales, the better the games and with Ninty trailing and Sony getting ready to launch Microsoft are going to be counting on at least two huge games this year with Nintendo counting on at least three.
Let the true battle commence and may the best games win.

I have been honing my movie knowledge while I have been away and watching a lot. Best Picture winners left to watch: NONE. Films left to watch in Empire's 500 greatest films list: ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN
Well, Microsoft has it's own share of work to do. If they STILL can't get Japan fully on board, I don't see them hanging onto their current worldwide substantial lead. (Especially with the way the Wii is still selling) In 2 and a half months, the Wii has almost sold half of what the 360 has sold in 15 months. And I'd have to double check sales figures, but I'm pretty sure the 360 is already in 3rd place in Japan.....
But can the Wii's current momentum be enough to keep carrying them into the sales lead, or will it cool off significantly? If they can continue to publish fresh software and keep the virtual console releases at a healthy mixed pace, as I feel they have been doing, I think sales will continue. Not necessarily as healthy as they are right now, but while there will eventually be a cooling off point, I don't think it'll be too drastic of a dip to give away that much market share.
I just read an article the other day, (I'll have to find the link) that stated Sony claims that their manufacturing process for the cell chip has made a huge stride cost-wise, and that very soon they'll be breaking even on console sales. While still the most expensive system out there, once they get some killer must-have titles in the library, the sales will come, even before any price breaks, which they are claiming won't happen for at least 3 years.
Bottom line, I feel pretty confident that this generation will be the closest we've seen since the 16-bit era. And if the race is close, it'll be up to the big 3 to bring their A game and do what they can to try to sway the market in their favor. This can only lead to good things, as quality of software will have to be raised to get the most sales that they can. This will benefit us (the gamers) more than anyone.
I'm pumped for the future, as the only system left for me to purchase is the PS3. Once they get a game I feel is a must-have, I'll be dropping my $$$, however much it is. Right now, with Assassin's Creed going to PC & 360, Heavenly Sword being delayed, Kingdom Hearts *possibly* losing it's Sony exclusivity, Gran Turismo HD getting delayed/axed, Virtua Fighter 5 going 360, & Dragon Quest shifting to the DS, Sony CANNOT afford to lose another exclusive property. If MGS4 and/or FF13 go to the PC/360/Wii, the only exclusive franchise Sony can hold over me personally to warrant my purchase of a PS3 is God of War. Bring it on!
Just wanted to comment on the News channel since I've had time to actually use it now. I find that it is convenient enough to take a look at what's going on in Science/Technology/Entertainment. Very useful IMO. I don't look at National/International simply because I don't care for that much and it is all over TV anyways. The other stuff is harder to find so it is nice that everything is here. Sports I don't look at since I have better ways of getting sports news (3 sports channels here). One thing I don't like however is the map on the side. It takes up a lot of room that can be used for the text so that it is easier to read left to right. A little scroll bar on the right would also be nice so that you know how long the article is. Even if you can't use it to scroll through the article, it's nice to know how far down the page you are. Overall a good service though.
As for the web browser, I haven't used it much since it is way more inconvenient than a PC, but I was wondering if it is possible to get a virus on your Wii through the web browser. I'd imagine that it would have to be a Wii-specific virus for you to be infected. I doubt there's anything out there now since it is so new, but down the road do you think it would be possible for you to get a virus on your Wii? I certainly hope not.
My name is Pan . . . and I am the Man.
Me and my brother saw about 10 Wii's at various Walmarts at noon in the Des Moines Iowa area so hopefully that means more are being shipped for those who want them.
At the same time though several Targets we went to had their "Out of stock" signs up and Gamestop who is giving $50 credit if you trade in your gamecube told my brother "good luck, we are not getting any for 2 weeks" so I guess its still not in plentiful supply.
If you want cheap good Gamecube games though check Target, I got:
Battalion Wars $3.94
Pikmin 2 $7.98
Resident Evil 4 $9.99
Fire Emblem GBA $7.98
Killer 7 $3.00

It was 5 at one in Ankeny Iowa and then 5 at one inside Des Moines (there are like 4-7 depending if you consider the outskirts of the capital city)
And as far the cheap Target games go, some you will need to scan in their price checker. Battalion Wars said $7.98 but rung up at $3.94, Pikmin 2 said $13.98 and rung up at $7.98
I also thought this article was interesting, it brings up the notion that Sony is fighting itself again
Playstation 2 surpasses Playstation 3 in weekly sales
I also point to this as a continuing reason as to the reason people rejoice in Sonys problems, you get the feeling that in Sony's eyes there is absolutely nothing wrong with the PS3 and the Wii is just a fad (which is may very well be)
"Meanwhile, Sony Computer Entertainment of America spokesperson Dave Karraker went on the record with the New York Times earlier this week to lump the Wii in the same category afforded to supermarket tabloids and packets of M&Ms: the impulse buy.
"Wii could be considered an impulse buy more than anything else," Karraker stated, asserting that the Playstation 3 was in a much different category than the Wii and therefore it was a case of apples and oranges to compare the two. Whether the Wii will win out with this strategy in the long-term remains to be seen, though the impulse buy of that console currently seems to have the edge over the higher price point of the heavyweight Playstation 3."

The DS and Wii are outselling the PSP, PS3, and PS3 combined. To top that off, is it just me, or are PS3 sales dropping every week in Japan, a country who Sony was betting on just as much as the US?
Go ahead and call me a "Nintendolic" but if you go to the PS3 IGN Insider forums, it's hard to find any positive stuff there and I doubt they are "Nintendolics."
well of courase the sony guy is going to try to spin it the way he wants to make hios company look better - esp since the PS3 has been getting a lot more negative buzz now aElectric Playground actually doesn't recommend the system. anyway $300 is not quite an impulse price point. augh stop the damn spin sony and spend that time energy and creativity on bringing reasons for people to want the PS3 rather than just saying "it's blu-ray it's hi def" give us something worthwhile to DO on the damn system and do it WELL!
Judging from the up-coming european release, there's a LOT of cool things to do with the system. With games being available on Disc and for download, I'd say that's something to look forward to.
And as for Blu-Ray? It's catching up with HDDVD pretty fast and that's a big thing; especially with Sony owning most of the studios behind summer blockbusters and a huge commitment from Disney to BR.
I had to laugh at this, because there were a couple of Wii's sitting in a store just across from where I worked and I ALMOST bought one on impulse. Are you just mad because maybe he's right? After all, I thought the Gamecube...sorry...Wii was an easy console to manufacture and this was its main strength in the global war against Sony?
But here we are two months after it's release and they're just trickling into the store....Nintendo seem to be creating an artificial demand all by themselves. And if you doubt that they would do something like that, take a look at those figures for game sales.
What's with the lack of third party DS games in the charts? Dominated by Nintendo! I wonder if Nintendo suddenly telling all third party DS developers that cartridge reproduction times would be increased after October had anything to do with it? Nintendo completely screwed over the third party DS developers this Christmas, and I'm betting they'll do the same this year with the Wii.
Yesterday returneth not. Tomorrow perhaps cometh not. Today is thine. Misuse it not.
Well, lol, I didn't see too many negative posts there, maybe you were fishing for them perhaps?
I can go to the Wii board and everything isn't coming up roses either. You can also go to the gamespot forums and see all the positive threads there.
In fact, everyone is looking forward to March where a lot of good games are coming out for the PS3.
BTW, my nephew is playing more Cube games on the Wii than Wii games as he enjoys them better. But maybe he's an anamoly, like all the people who think the Wii is some sort of aerobics miracle worker.
I play more cube games then Wii games at the moment (finishing up the Cube Fire Emblem now) but that does not mean anything.
It reinforces my point earler on the PS2 issue, most people who buy a Wii probably are going to replace their gamecube (I know I did, I had 2 gamecubes) but at the moment people WONT be replacing their PS2's (not yet, not till there is probably a $100 price drop)...which is why the PS2 is beating the PS3 in sales.
It will be interesting to see the Euro launch and its numbers since Sony is already having to defend itself on price due to the VAT that increases it (and they have a valid point about people not adding sales tax in the US to the overall price, we are talking almost $50-100 more US dollars if people added in sales tax in some states)
I have seen more and more posts "Are you bored with your Wii" and I think those are just retarded, most of the games that came out were party games but solid single player games are coming out shortly.
Though I went back to both those Walmarts yesterday and the Wiis that were there were all gone so artificial shortage or not Ironman they are still selling. Reminds me of an episode of Queer as Folk on Showtime where they said the way to get people to buy something is to make them think they cant have it!

I'm not mad about anything I just get annoyed with the corporate spins. they messed up the launch right now the PS3 sucks. it's not worth the price point. will that change? It could very easily, it's more so that the sony camp is mad that they aren't in first and no one is clamouring for their brand new product now so they are looking to belittle the competition in whatever way they can. it's just like political mudslinging which bugs me too. I don't care what their pinion is on the competition make me want YOUR product instead of making me not want the other one.
Just like Pepsi ads and how they always put down Coke where as Coke ads basically act like pepsi doesn't even exist. Sell the product to me rather than downsell the competition.
As for the blu-ray thing my point on that is I don't friggin CARE about that for a gaming system, I want to play great games I want a fun and memorable experience I know it's part of the system and a selling feature but we KNOW that already what we don't know is why should we fork out $700 dollars for this damn thing future releases?? they can easily get canned or they can easily suck - you know as a game developer (as you pointed me to herdy gerdy and the getaway) that as great and promising as new software looks it can really die during development and suck.
As for the Wii being easy to make you said in an earlier post about the PS3 also being made up of off the shelf stuff overall. so what is the downside when it comes to the Wii? you don't like nintendo fine - as a gamer or as a developer it's your opinion but honestly man, if i'm going to shell out almost a grand on anything it had BETTER give me something that I enjoy. And most families most PEOPLE in general don't spend $300 on anything impulsively times are hard everything costs a lot more and wages haven't increased to reflect that - if YOU can spend that much impulsively then good for you. but really I'm sick of hearing spinning just give me some good stuff. if they want my money give me a GREAT reason to give it up. $700 can buy me a lot of stuff. dammit it's almost a month's rent!
um it's a simple fact get your body moving you burn calories you burn enough calories you lose weight - where is the mystery behind that?? i've played it and you can get a good workout there is no "I think it can work miracles" behind it it's a simple fact that it can make aerobic exercise fun.
Again it just seems the sony fans are upset that they aren't number one right now. that could easily change because look sometimes in business you get comfortable at number one you take it for granted and the competiton gets on your ass and hands it to you. if you are smart it will teach you a lesson and in the end the consumers win out.

You're funny. Where did I say any of that? Yup, the Gamecube2 is selling EXTREMELY well, just like the original Gamecube before it. Even I was tempted to buy one as an impulse purchase.
But I think Sony are spot on in saying that Nintendo are creating a false market by limiting the availability of the console. After all, everybody thought sales of PS3 were going through the roof because SO many people wanted one, but the truth was that there were barely any to buy. Nice PR right?
Nintendo have sold a lot of consoles...of that I have no doubt. But right now, all I'm hearing stories of "store x has four machines that were sold in a day". I'm sorry, but Nintendo are more than capable of shipping enough units to keep consumers happy.
They did it for launch, so what's stopping them now?
Anyhow....euro PS3 launch in March, and I've almost convinced my fiancee that I can afford a console AND the rest of the stuff for our wedding. I'll let you know about my own experiences with the supposedly steaming pile of silicon that everybody (who doesn't own one) says that it is
I'm not mad that the PS3 isn't number 1. I AM Dissapointed in Sony for severley screwing up the launch, and plain hubris though.
I think that've already tried that, but everybody seems to be EXTREMELY hostile towards Sony, no matter what they do. If they say "hey, it's powerfull" everybody says "we don't care".I don't care what their pinion is on the competition make me want YOUR product instead of making me not want the other one.
If they say they have a pad that can sense changes in orientation, everybody says "you copied nintendo. oh, and we don't care".
If Sony say "we have downloadable games" people point out that Nintendo and Microsoft do this already.
The thing about blu-ray on the PS3 is that it's not just about movies. The games REALLY need that kind of storage, and a dual-layer DVD or HDDVD just doesn't match up in that department. But I've pointed this out already, and nobody seems to care....they're all so wrapped up in this format war crap.As for the blu-ray thing my point on that is I don't friggin CARE about that for a gaming system, I want to play great games I want a fun and memorable experience I know it's part of the system and a selling feature but we KNOW that already what we don't know is why should we fork out $700 dollars for this damn thing future releases??
That is an extremely good question, and I hope that I can give you a good answer to that one. It's really about how the components are used...where Nintendo has just made the same bits faster, Sony has put them together in different ways to provide a more powerfull platform.As for the Wii being easy to make you said in an earlier post about the PS3 also being made up of off the shelf stuff overall. so what is the downside when it comes to the Wii?
The problem I have with the Wii? Nintendo are making me pay over 240 euros for something that's only worth 120 at retail. The machine costs less than 60 euros to put together. I'm not even mad that it's just an overclocked gamecube anymore...I see what they've done and I applaud them for really getting into the headspace of a new market. Good job there Nintendo!
Oh. And frankly? There's nothing I want to play on the Wii. Somebody pointed out that I hadn't played TP long enough to get into it....it's a video game, I shouldn't NEED two or three hours to START enjoying it.
I have CoH and other things on my PC if I want to get that sort of deep gameplay.
I think Nintendo make great games. I just hate working with them, because I know as soon as there is a conflict of interests, they'll screw you over. And they NEED third party developers if they don't want a repeat of the N64 and the Gamecube.you don't like nintendo fine - as a gamer or as a developer it's your opinion but honestly man,
Yesterday returneth not. Tomorrow perhaps cometh not. Today is thine. Misuse it not.
If you say so, but I'm sure everyone will be buying God of War 2 in March (I will be) over any PS3 game.
I'm done arguing about Wii versus PS3. Everyone can believe what they want and I'll just roll with the best games on every console, that's what I've always done, that's what I'll keep doing.
As for "fishing" for negative threads, hardly. I never go beyond the second page of any message board. Dying PS3s, Metal Gear 4 delay possibilities, fans being upset about a possible price cut coming soon (I would be too if I paid for the full price then it drops half a year later)...but yeah the Wii has a drought just like the PS3 and 360 so those might be the negative posts you see. But people see what they want to see.
Upset? No, its just asanine for Sony to have a few launch issues and then you guys want to extoll the virtues of the Wii. The Wii is a novelty. I've played it, it holds my attention for 20 minutes until I get bored with it.
And yup, I'll be buying GOW2 when it comes out but come on, Wiis have died or have tech issues as well (I dont know why the Nintendo fanboys want to paint it as something the PS3 only does). There will not be a price cut anytime soon for the PS3, do your research instead of listening to your "sky is falling" buddies and you'd see that.
I dont know why you're arguing about the Wii vs PS3 in the first place. One is a upgrade over the Gamecube and the other is actually for people who want to "play beyond."
In all seriousness though, its apple vs oranges.
Why I'm arguing? Same reason why you keep praising the PS3 and downplaying the impact the Wii is having...again, see what you want, read what you want. I could care less. It seems like I'm only arguing with you anyways...no need to pay attention to what you have to say anymore.
As for no price cut, straight FROM the IGN PS3 Board:
Sony is looking to 65nm production to cut costsSony considers trimming the price of its new PS3
Sony's PlayStation 3 hasn't even been on the North American market for three months, but the company is already considering a price cut on its new console. Sony trimmed the price of the most basic PS3 in Japan before it even launched and a price cut in North America could help to boost slow initial sales.
"We may look at the price as part of our strategy to expand the market when the timing is right," said Sony Senior Vice President Takao Yuhara at company headquarters. An analyst for Lazard Capital Markets suggests that the price cut could come as early as this year.
Many question, however, if Sony can pull off this feat so early in the game. Sony has seen its Q3 profits fall 5.3% from a year ago along with a $455 USD million USD loss for its games division (compared to a $556 USD million profit a year earlier). Microsoft, in comparison, witnessed a $289 million USD loss for its Entertainment and Devices division.
One must also take into consideration that according to iSuppli, Sony is losing $307 on every 20GB PS3 that it sells and $241 on every 60GB PS3. The bigger loss on the 20GB unit explains why the 60GB unit accounts for 80% of the sales mix in the United States.
A move to 65nm production could ease the pain of trimming costs on the console. Sony has recently stated that it has already started production on a number of 65nm components and has realized a 40% size reduction in comparison to 90nm components. The company is also looking to reduce the number of parts used in the PS3 to lead to even deeper cost reductions.
But what's bad for Sony will likely turn out to be good for the consumer. Most consumers don't really care if Sony is losing money on the PS3 -- all they care about is getting the Blu-ray equipped console for a lower price. If Sony is successful with its bid to lower its own costs on the console, consumers might just get their wish sooner than expected.
Again, read what you want, say what you want, I'm done arguing with you. I'm ready to discuss things with reasonable people.
guys chill.. this thread has been going for... how long now? we don't need it to get locked now. agree to disagree and drop it.
It's just a matter of time before PS3 dies out and Xbox and Nintendo are left...however, if they cut the price for the PS3 it may attract more gamers back. Then again if the systems keep crashing and the bugs arn;t fixed...price means nothing.
Yeah don't worry about it. It's cool. I don't resort to name calling.
But if the PS3 did drop in price, it would be more enticing to a lot more people.
Do you really believe that? Sony has the PS2 still on the market, which is still a sturdy and viable machine, - one of the things about Sony systems is their long shelf life.
The Sony prez has pretty much promised a shelf-life of 10-years. I dont think even the NES/SNES/N64 or GC has had shelf-lives of that long but the PS2 and PS1 def has lived long lives.

I've never played the VN, but if what this says is true, it'll take about 50 hours to go through the whole thing.
I've never played the VN, but if what this says is true, it'll take about 50 hours to go through the whole thing.
If you Youtube a playthrough and read a few topics on the game to fill in the gaps if could cut the time down massively.
While a great game, if you aren't already convinced to d/l it it'd be best to do the above. Honestly setting this game was a total *****. First I got a torrent that didn't even work and only had the video files. Then I had to d/l it in parts(I think 12) which took like 7 hours then the patch for English and then switching my laptop to Japanese mode to run the game then sorting the files...
Yeah, the setup can suck. Worth it though if your really interested.
Most people start out with things a tad lighter (but still feel-y) like Da Capo II. Though a few of my friends started their visual novel spree with Little Busters! and ended up enjoying it. Key feels are pretty huge for a first VN, but good if you want to start big. Honestly, finishing up the visual novel takes as long as finishing a two-cour anime series without the condensation of an adaptation, that's the best way I can describe it.
That said, going though multiple routes isn't much of a hassle since you're allow to skip through text you've already read in the common route. Without mentioning spoilers, all of the routes culminate in Refrain and Riki's development, which the anime would most likely have to alter entirely as some of the characters' stories would require them to pull a Tomoyo/Kyou OVA for the anime. It's for this reason that I believe that watching the anime will downplay the experience. The logic around Clannad story's sort of worked for the adaptation despite the ending coming off as a cheap reset, but the logic of the plot of Little Busters! prevents it from being carried over to the anime. It requires all of the characters' stories to happen in a "reset" sequence which only works in a VN format.
Downloading and setting up the English patch does tend to be a hassle for some people, though I had no problems. If you're truly interested, you could hit me up by PM for help and links.

This is why I wanted them to with a modified omnibus format, the only things carrying over would be Riki and Rin subconsciously keeping all their experiences from the other girls' routes and multiple common routes.
Kud and Kurugaya's routes will suffer the most if you ask me, the resolution of Kud's route kind of relies upon Riki and Kud being in a romantic relationship, then there is Kurugaya who's route continues past Refrain, but we will likely never see it since it will end with Riki x Rin.

Seriously though, that's not something that deserves a dramatic reveal. This episode was fine, I'm not much of a fan of Haruka to begin with but whatever. Her arc seems to have dived into high drama right away.
...and a toilet seat cover.
As this moves along more and more, I'm beginning to think we won't be seeing anything to do with the baseball game until the second season. I usually refer to it as the "hinted at second season", or something similar, but considering we have 9 episodes left there is 100% no way for them to fit the rest of Haruka, Kud, Kurugaya and Rin 1 + 2 in, considering they'd take atleast 3 episodes each, ideally a few more for Rin. That is of course without any common route coming into play, and then the major payoff in Refrain.
Yeah, they didn't try too hard to hide the fact they were twins.
lol bench tragedy
lol bigamy
lol obvious twist
On a more serious note, are disciplinary committees really a thing in Japanese schools? It seems a little far-fetched that they'd put power over discipline in the hands of students. And even more so that they'd put it in the hands of someone who's essentially waiting to grow up to be Inspector Javert.

This is from the University of Tokyo, it seems like they do have some power. It is obviously greatly exaggerated in anime/manga/VNs/LNs though. KoiChoco comes to mind for ridiculously overpowered student councils.
And of course in the case of Little Busters! it is to make Kanata look like a massive *****.
Saigusa is bad, and that's good. She will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no-one she'd rather be than her.
The above is a good chunk of my thoughts during this week's episode. That and "DNA testing? No? Well, whatever floats your boat. Just use guesswork that's fine I mean I presume DNA testing must exist in this universe otherwise not even the parents would know who's who but okay just do whatever you want."

The moment I saw how nice those cakes looked I knew EXACTLY what was up.
...and a toilet seat cover.
I think J.C. Staff handled Haruka's route as good as they possibly could have considering they only gave it three episodes. I wish they didn't change the rain scene though, I felt like it really lessened the impact of just how much Haruka hated Kanata at that point, going from trying to stab her with a pair of scissors to a few measly hits is a massive difference. They really should have given Haruka five, or even five episodes.
Also saw this gif, and although I personally think J.C. Staff have done an okay job up to this point, it still made me laugh.

This felt less realistic to me than the conclusion of Mio's arc and that's saying something. Mostly because of how unreasonably cruel their families were to them. There's a point where family issues go from "they just don't understand each other" to a Cinderella-type situation to straight-up going to kill a little girl for something her dad did. Plus in the end I found Haruka's sister much more interesting than her.
This episode almost had me emotionally invested too. If they had just stuck with having Kanata beaten instead of "her family was about to kill Haruka and this bag of puppies" I probably would have enjoyed the resolution more (which was still nice).
...and a toilet seat cover.
Haruka: "It's nobody's fault."
Me: "Except, you know, that abusive family. Who threatened to kill you. You can call the police now. I mean it, call them. Goddammit why do they never call the police in these shows?"

Leather will no doubt be the main material covering most of your shoes, but that doesn't mean that's all there is when it comes to fashionable footwear!
Come spring and summer suede presents a softer shoe option, complementing your dresses, playsuits and skirts with its matte look and comfortable feel.
The unique texture of brushed suede is both luxurious and chic, helping you to combine textures in an interesting way, especially with this season's pleated skirts and sheer blouses.
For a fashion forward footwear option why not try this fabric out for yourself with the Lilly shoe?
This supple suede shoe is available in black, jasper red or the sandy taupe shade, helping to elongate your legs with its neutral hue and concealed platform sole.
The tall block heel ensures it's comfortable for all-day wear, while the curvy stylised front helps to make an additional statement thanks to its eccentric floral embellishment.
This standout shoe is a great way to ramp up your summer style, giving you an excuse to get your legs out and give some structure to any floaty skirt.
The Flora Dress helps to carry on this floral theme, billowing out from the waist in a mixture of duck egg blue and regalia purple with its chiffon handkerchief hemline.
Another standout suede shoe is the Krystal heel, which also comes with a classy concealed platform.
This black shoe lends itself well to the wearing of either bare legs or opaque tights with its cross-over strap with metallic buckle details.
The wrap-around design makes a strong style statement and would add a little personality to a whole host of outfits, from formal workwear to smart casual high-waisted trousers.
It's totally up to you!
With this weekend's unseasonably warm weather approaching, now could be the perfect time to pair them with your favourite skirt, ready to enjoy a relaxing evening out with friends.

Chefs cook up a World pipe band champion event
August 3, 2012 by Grace Franklin · Leave a Comment
More than 230 bands will compete in the World Pipe Band Championships on Glasgow Green on Saturday 11 August. The fierce competition to be world champions for bands and individual bagpipe players and drummers, will attract more than 8000 skilled musicians from around the world.
Tickets for the finals at World level, are already sold out. People who buy tickets for the all – day spectacle show, can listen, free, to the competitors in the early, other levels of the 'Worlds' as the event is fondly referred to.
Ian Embelton, Chief Executive of the Royal Scottish Pipe Bands Association said: 'The entry this year in the 'Worlds' is an indication of just how much the bands enjoy coming to Glasgow to compete.' The competition has been associated with the city for more than 60 years. He added: 'The pipers and drummers and all the supporters, enjoy a great day out. This year we have more than ever on offer. There is nothing quite like a day out at The World Pipe Band Championships.'
The event is for all the family with Highland Games, Highland Dancing, children's activities and a serious competition among six of Scotland's best known chefs. They will vie with each other in cooking demonstrations at the Flavour of Scotland arena, using some of this country's finest ingredients.
Picture here are two of the chefs – John Quigley of Red Onion and Colin Manson of Malmaison – who were checking out where they'll be cooking up a storm on Saturday 11 August. They're wearing Help for Heroes kilts from Cameron Ross, the world's biggest kilt hire supplier. The company has pledged £4 to Help for Heroes charity for ex-military service personnel, for every kilt hired from them in the Help for Heroes tartan.

I had deleted Smelly Zeus, so he has the honor of having been created twice. Drawing armpit hair, ahhh yes.
Getting guilds working was a nice start. Having some kind of guild directory somewhere in the game would be a great next step, but I'm just not sure where to cram such a thing in. There's not much free space in PR2.
Anywho, I'm going to dedicate all of the Motley Mondays in June to Luna. After that I'm going to cycle through PR2, Luna, and PR4 from week to week.
Assuming no bugs (that always works), the artifact will now give a bubble set to the first person to find it.

If you're wondering why the artifact hasn't moved the past couple of weeks, it's because I haven't written the code to award bubble parts for it yet. Tomorrow, for rizzle.
I spent most of today replying to emails and pms, since those had been piling up for a bit. It was not an entirely non-programming day though. I ran some tests on getting private guild servers to run on demand, which seem to work happily. The next step is letting real people into one. Considering that there is a beta

Will March come in like a lamb and out like delicious braised shanks? I don't know, but I'm eager to find out... Post your daily rides!
How was your ride today? Week of March 1st, 2010
Submitted by pinkrobe on
It's that time of year again, when the sun is just coming over the horizon when I start my ride in to work. It's so nice to feel the warm rays on my face.
The ride in was pretty nice. There's a little less ice every day, and traffic was actually quite mellow. My legs aren't too tired after yesterday's excursion, although I can feel the soreness creeping back in...

really looking forward to a 2hrs fixed ride today in the beautiful sunshine. i think i'll have to follow it up with lunch/pints on an un-named patio on 17th (cough...'da ship!) too!
Submitted by enidcoleslaw on
first ride of the year
Submitted by Dionysis on
Now that the temps are more reasonable, I decided it was time to start riding again (a couple of week early this year!). I ride from Edworthy to downtown early in the morning so it is still quite dark and only one rough spot on the path (near where the old Robin's Donuts place used to be).
Encountered a large group of joggers who were likely part of one of the fitness groups that meet early in the morning. Can't wait for the pedestrian path to clear up - joggers, please stay to the right and do not take up the whole path! And please wear a light (7 bucks at MEC!) or at least some light clothing!
Other than these yahoos, it is great to be back on the bike!
Oh the ice that is still out though
Submitted by scottmeyers on
I just about got taken out by a car today... On the path way... This will be a little long winded but I will try to set it up for you.
I was riding down the pathway between Harvest hills Blvd(Center Street N)and Country hills golf course, when BHAM!!! out of no where (well the street, but when your innocently on the path it might was well be out of no where) a Jeep cherokee is crossing my path. I quickly went through my mental check list, you know things like kept right of the lane, wearing reflective clothing, lights on, clean under wear... yup I was doing everything right, the car is definetly in the wrong. I applied my brakes and waited for the wayward car to relocate them selves where they belong. and continued on my way.
To make it better a bout 50 meters down the path from this incident a police car and tow truck are parked on the path and another SUV is precariously parked on the fence between the path and golf course.
Once I was underneath Beddington trail I promptly got on the street where it appeared to be safer...
By my best guess all of this mis-adventure was caused by moisture in the road that froze up last night. Combine with the lack of awareness that motorists seem to exhibit at 6 in the morning. I find that 2 wheels definetly teach you a thing or too about slick roads that 4 wheels just can't convey to the drivers.

Did he ask you to hold his Iphone he was texting on while he slid by you attempting to regain control? Did he at least put the person he was talking to on the phone on hold during the slide?
Stupid Alberta figures texting and phones are "just fine". Sorry to steal the thread but I've had close calls due to dumb bimbettes talking or texting while driving.

Not sure they were even aware they went off road let alone realize there was bike, cop, stranded motorist and tow truck all wathcing them. They did resume the commute like nothing happened. Perhaps ignorance is bliss.
Good to feel the sun on my face
Submitted by gyrospanner on
I got back from Vancouver/Whistler late last night & slept in. Two out of 3 weeks it rained!
The commute felt great - especially to feel the sun on my face. Too bad we do the DST "spring ahead" in 2 weeks.
I see that we may be returning to last year's norm of having a bunch of icy sections standing on the pathways for a few weeks/months...

Submitted by NW_Tri_and_Bike on
When you decend the Glen Eagles route and go under the 1A, there is some ice at the tunnel exit.. the far left line looked ok but I had traffic there and I slowed down in anticipation of a problem and was safe... with the freeze and thaw cycle I would be very careful as what may be a safe line today may not be tomorrow...
beauty ride
Submitted by critninja on
the freeze/thaw cycle is in full effect so be careful out there while enjoying the springlike conditions. i went for a 35km fixie ride with a buddy yesterday and it was soooo nice out - no wind to speak of and very quiet roads - i think there must have been a lot of hungover calgarians (from the sunday hockey lovefest).
get out there are ride!
Fargin ice fog
Submitted by pinkrobe on
The roads were pretty good, but there was a layer of something on them that made me think twice about taking corners with reckless abandon. Regardless, 'twas a fine ride in. Hopefully it warms up enough so that I can get out for a post-work ride.

Tunnel vision
Submitted by sherryrunswest on
I like the look of the light beam in the fog. My vision was a little distorted because the mist was settling on my glasses, no big deal, a couple of swipes with my gloves did the trick. Noticing that the fog tends to significantly reduce commuter traffic. Maybe they leave later in the hopes that the fog will lift, who knows but not a single bike on my ride in this morning.
Icy Hills, Man!
Submitted by crazycga on
My first ride of the year, and my first ride on a new commuter bike! I was pretty happy, a little nervous 'cause it's also my first ride with SPDs... But all went well. Until - at least - Sandy Beach. That whole hill is one long ice sheet! There's also a huge pond at the north end of that whole thing where it goes into Mission.
The fog didn't bother me so much, but I did discover I'm lacking at least two pieces of cold weather gear! Brrr. Toes finally thawed at 9:00. LOL

thanks for the heads up thinking of getting back on the horse after a month at the olympics. That hill is always crazy, might take the gravel road beside it tomorrow.

I unknowingly saluted springs arrival with a 4 pack of Strongbow cider yesterday after closing the shop - yum!
Although my fave cider these days is Blackthorne - a little drier, and a little more booze in it.
Having said that, pinkrobe's suggestions sounds pretty good too!
Pinot Auxerouis

That was the final choice. I forgot that I snagged a coupla' bottles when I was in BC recently. Cold & Crisp!
I did feel like a king today - rode home in shorts & a T-shirt!! Stopped by the river & enjoyed some sun...
Submitted by fastlayne on
Shorts are my only option for the ride home since my tights are missing some fabric on the right knee after a little low side this morning. Some street surface in industrial areas are a little slick when damp. I dropped like I was shot, good times for sure.
Really bad ice - Shaganappi Trail Tunnel
Submitted by NW_Tri_and_Bike on
The early thaw and lack of snow clearing has cause some massive ice there... I think I will take pictures and send them to the city... I tried to explain the value of clearing these out once or twice a season to allow for the spring thaw... my though is they have the priority list which works fine but long after they put snow removal equipment away there are many sections that sit under ice which turns to ice and may take 6-8 weeks to melt on their own...

Submitted by scottmeyers on
Pretty sweet actually... A few big puddles in places, just keep the feet high and coast through. the underpasses are mostly clear. The worst section is under either 16th ave or 8th ave ( I can't recall which right now) there is about a 20 meter stretch of slushy ice.
some ice
Submitted by mikewarren on
There was a decent amount of ice in the morning yesterday between 64th and 32nd, would be melted by the afternoon. Can't say south of 16th, but there's usually a big puddle under there.
You can take side roads from 64th to the bus trap if you prefer (the first side-road north of the 64th bridge leads to a bus trap and hence back to the nose creek paths).
mike at mike dash warren dot com
Yup, pretty good
Submitted by shockingTemple on
I agree with scottmeyers but gotta add that the lower underpasses (32nd Ave Connector, Mcknight, etc.) can still have some Khumbu icefall-like qualities in spots, depending upon time of day. (But getting better every day!) If you want to carry any speed underneath the bridge to help pop back up on the other side, be mindful to check for any on-coming traffic & set up your line appropriately for the icefall.
Submitted by 2wheeler on
This week I've been trying to breath through my nose while riding my bike, instead of the usual huffing through my mouth. The disadvantage is that some parts of the city smell bad! I was surprised riding around in the NE industrial parks how much stink there was.
Submitted by bclark on
I've commented on the air quality being pretty bad lately. It seems to me there are a lot of days where that nasty haze is hanging around smelling things up.
A few years ago I picked up a Respro mask from MEC. It seems to work okay for taking out some of the nasty air smell though it definitely restricts my breathing somewhat and contributes to fogged shades (i.e. don't expect to wear sunglasses when using it).
Supposedly it removes most harmful gases but I can still smell the exhaust from closeby vehicles. Maybe a suggestion if it becomes a bother for you. I usually judge when I wear it just by looking at how hazy it is.
Top of Nose Hill (over the top path)

Street Sweeping in Harvest Hills
Submitted by Jaykay65 on
They are doing more work near the lake / (storm water pond) and have been sweeping the streets that the heavy trucks have been using. There is a greasy, moist mixture of mud being spread thinly over the streets and with the cooler temps in the evening and morning, it is worse than ice. I have learned my lesson now, but that first ride over that mess was a nasty surprise.
One benefit though and I do not know if it is related to the lake work, but at all of the major intersections that I pass in the community they have swept-up a lot of the loose gravel.
Has anybody else seen any signs of sweeping yet? When I saw this yesterday, I wondered about 26th Ave SW and other bike lanes.
26th Ave SW
Submitted by sherryrunswest on
Just last week I saw the city out sweeping the bike lane. This is the second time since the beginning of the year that they've done it, that I've noticed anyhow. For the most part it is clear, some thicker, loose gravel is shoved up against the curb so not a concern.
This is good...
Submitted by Jaykay65 on
progress from the city! Maybe the lady (Sorry cannot locate her name) that attended the BC AGM last fall took our concerns back to the city and they have taken action this spring.

I ride it once and a while, good call, you can't make out any of the markings on the bike lane.
11ave SE
Submitted by Spinner on
I took a ride today to check the bike lane out, it hasn't been swept yet. Heading North is pretty bad.
You can see there is just a narrow section to ride on, which varies from about 12"- 24". And in some spots, the bike lane is totally covered.
A shot of how thick this stuff is in some places
I rode from 46ave to Heritage and back. South bound for the most part was what you see in the first picture. North bound was was better with about 1/2 the lane to ride in.It looked like North bound didn't get as much gravel laid down, it wasn't as deep and wasn't piled up along the curb like the other side.
yup its ugly...
Submitted by denimjeff on
the stretch southbound is bad...i don't think it even got swept until june/july last year. i ride this every day and most of the time i'm in traffic because its so sketchy. the best is blasting down the hill after standens and being passed by giant gravel trucks going at speed. good times. i've decided that i'm going to log a complaint every week until something gets done. good idea with the photos!

Submitted by Dionysis on
Anyone know when the city is going to clean up the path right in front of that old fire hall/outdoor rec center at this intersection?
With the construction they have been doing there for the last year or two, they have only left a narrow, mud/ice filled path and with the crazy drivers only inches away from you, I am rather nervous about riding here.
Of course, the city will probably just say "wait until the underpass is clear"....
No idea when the job will be
Submitted by Julie Gregg on
No idea when the job will be done but have to say I am grateful for the filler they used on that mush we rode on Mon/Tues, at least it is a bit more stable and easier to ride on, the detour isn't great, that's for sure, I keep forgetting to just stay on the south side!! Habits are hard to break.
I rode through there this
Submitted by centzon on
I rode through there this morning - looks like the underpass has been cleared! There were still "pathway closed" gates on either side, but it was easier to go around those than to take the makeshift sidewalk and crosswalk past the cars hooking right onto the bridge. There were a couple ice slicks under there but it was in no different a condition than any other section of the river path, really.
Submitted by Julie Gregg on
Thank you! Last night as I passed that spot I looked back and it seemed the underpass was clear, but this morning in my usual morning fog I forgot about it. Tonight going home I'll try to remember and go that way. I am not a fan of going over the top at 10th. No doubt when we have the spring thaw that section will close again but I'll be happy to ride it until then!

Guy at work also mentioned that he could have sworn that the path under the bridge had been cleared this morning but he was not sure.
Thanks for confirming it - I'll try it on the way home this afternoon.

Anyone ridden up it lately? Did the City sweep the gravel on the northbound lane? I had requested they do that a while back at the time when all the side streets were pretty icy but never got a call back about whether they were actually going to get out and do it. Now I'm taking the side roads to avoid proximity to traffic. I did notice a feeble attempt at sweeping 53rd St NW.
Lights out!

Ha HAA! I rode in without turning on the headlight today. Traffic was so light, and the sun so bright that I just couldn't be bothered.

I haven't seen those in a while. Try Campione or Bikebike, although they will more likely have double toe straps as opposed to Powergrips.

Today I was reminded why I have lights. SUV making a right-hand turn creeping out into my path - yup. Somebody making a three-lane change while talking on the phone and not shoulder-checking - yup. Sigh.

First Ride this year.
Submitted by BCDon on
Well, after tearing my ACL (thought it was my PCL but that was wrong) at the end of January, going through Physio in February, rejoining the gym and doing some stength training (while waiting for another couple of weeks to see a Sports Doc), I finally went out for a ride today. With a LifeCycle being part of my rehab I've been doing at least some "riding" and part of my training is some leg exercises. So, I figured I shouldn't be too bad.
Rode my normal commute (90% of it) from SW to NW to check out the condition of my route on my "Jake the Snake" XC. A couple of ice spots still but not bad. However, I did ride over and through some water which will freeze overnight. So, I still have my studded tires on, don't want to fall with my bum knee. Oh and tons of people on the pathway, had to slow down to about 10Kph a few times (or less) plus a few detours off to the grass on the side.
The good news is that the knee held up real well. The first time I attempted to stand it didn't feel quite right. Next time I leaned forward and made sure that I didn't straighten my knee and it was fine. Heading up the 9% and 10% slopes on my route was OK and my weight training helped there - Head up by the Foothills Hospital.
Anyway, did about 35Km although my average was only 20Kph but that should get better as I work out more and get more miles under my legs.
Really nice day for March, a bit cool with only a light short sleeved jersey and a light vest.
Only had one car decide I wasn't going very fast and turn left in front of me, even after I was waving with the other hand to signal I was there. He didn't really care too much. I yelled something appropriate at him. In any case, no problem.
Looking forward to a road ride on my Trek Madone along Highway 22X.
I think 20 km/h average is pretty good
Submitted by Spinner on
When you take into consideration, stop signs/lights, and slowing down for peds on the path. You would have had to have a decent top speed, or at least a nice cruising speed.
Submitted by BCDon on
Well, my computer (Garmin GPS) shuts off when I stop moving but that isn't very frequently, When I approach a stop sign I'll slow down with enough time to figure out how to retain a bit of speed and go through when the traffic stops. But yes, certainly some slower times when lots of people are on the pathway. In some cases so thick that I had to ride behind some folks walking for a bit.

Before Trailers.
Submitted by BCDon on
Before trailers, when the littleuns were babes, I used to use a "snuggly" as a back back and take them for 20 minute or so road rides. Put them to sleep every time. Hmmmmm, maybe that's why the 2 that I did this with are into cycling and the rest aren't. Just thought of that.
Anyway, it's great to get them out although in this kind of weather one has to be careful to keep them warm as they aren't moving around generating any kind of heat while we're sweating our A$$es off pulling them along.

My dad got my mom a bike this year. The first time she has ridden in I would bet 15 or 20 years. So I went for a ride today with her. Something I haven't done in I bet 15 or 20 years. Any how she got one of those Specialized Globes. Nice little bike, Sweet day for a ride. Tomorrow I think I will break out mister Fixie and go for a tour of the city... Sun in my face and fists too the wind, way better than the last four months of frozen toes and a runny nose.

Great Day - Road Ride.
Submitted by BCDon on
Got a late start but went out for a road ride along 22X West, then South for awhile. Only did 36Km in total. Yesterday was 35Km around the city on the paths on the Cross bike with an average speed of 20Kph. Today was just over 25Kph, a bit of an East wind. Still slower than I should be but not bad for an hour and a half or so for early March.
Anyway, great day for a ride and really nice ride.

Veterans helped through Honor Flight DFW
By Staff report
Honor Flight DFW is a passion of Mrs. Texas International Rachel Hedstrom.
A project that honors veterans of World War II, Honor Flight DFW�s mission is to fly Veterans of World War II from the North Texas area to Washington D.C. to experience the World War II memorial built in their honor.
In her attempt to promote the mission, Hedstrom sought the counsel and help of her long-time friend and Plano businessman Craig Keeland. He agreed to help pass the word and made a substantial donation of $10,000 which will all allow 10 North Texas veterans to make the trip to the memorial.
It costs $1,000 per veteran and there are more than 400 North Texas veterans on the waiting list for the two-day, all expenses paid trip.
Keeland�s family goes back five generations in Texas. His ancestors served in the military, going back to fighting with Sam Houston. As a life-long resident of Dallas and Plano, Keeland reached out to friends to inspire them to send veterans to see their memorial.
�It is important tome to honor the memories of generations of my family, along with everyone who have served our country,� Keeland said. �And I want to encourage others to honor their family members from The Greatest Generation. I hope others will make the commitment and contribute to Honor Flight DFW in increments of $1,000 so our veterans can know how proud and thankful we are to them for their service.�
Keeland is an entrepreneur whose life�s mission is �leading Others to Better Health.� His accomplishes this by marketing whole food puree products through his Plano-based CK Companies. One of the CK Companies sells a product called �Whole 5� which debuted in February 2011 and is carried by more than 600 grocery stores in the United States.
To adopt a World War II veteran and make it possible for local veterans to see their memorials in Washington D.C., visit www.HonorFlightDFW.org.

Be extra careful when hiring a lawyer, or you could end up giving away personal information and money to a scam artist. The FBI is warning attorneys and their clients to be on the lookout for scam websites that use real lawyers' information to cheat people seeking legal services.
How the Scam Works:
The FBI is currently investigating a case in Texas where scammers set up a fake website in the name of a retired attorney. They used her maiden name, former office address and portions of her biography to create a believable site.
The Texas case is not an isolated incident, and other attorneys have complained about the use of their names and professional information to solicit legal work. Although the fake website is a new twist, scammers have long been known to impersonate law firms and call members of the public attempting to collect debts.
I Think I've Found a Scam. What Should I Do?
- As a consumer, if you have a question about whether you are dealing with a legitimate attorney, please contact your state or local bar association. http://bit.ly/NGDHLI. They can provide you with the real contact information for a lawyer in your area.
- Lawyers, if you spot a suspicious use of your name and/or law firm, immediately report the incident to local authorities, your state bar, http://bit.ly/Vkzcaj and the FBI at the Internet Crime Complaint Center. http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
- For More Information: For updates about the FBI's investigation into the lawyer impersonation scam, please see the "E-Scams and Warnings" section of FBI.org. http://1.usa.gov/Ulqn21

Thanks for the warning. I'll post this on my Company Facebook page (Your Legal Resource), in order to alert more people. There have been many scam emails from "pretend clients" trying to get attorneys to accept their case and they try to defraud the attorney out of money using a fake money order or other means of payment that is bogus and actually costs the attorney in time and money. It's a shame that clients and attorneys are the target of internet scammers. They have also preyed on financial advisors.
Today, everyone needs to be more careful than ever of online predators and scammers. I get at least 10 scam emails a day from "pretend clients".
8:11 am on Monday, September 24, 2012
Thanks Lori - glad to hear you are on top of these things and are helping others to be as well!
