Nintendo 3DS owners have been reminded that Star Fox 3D is winging its way into UK stores this week.
The new handheld remake of the classic Nintendo 64 title - released in Europe as Lylat Wars - sees Fox McCloud and his team of anthropomorphic hotshot pilots take to the skies to liberate the Lylat System from the clutches of the evil Andross.
For its Nintendo 3DS debut, the acclaimed on-rails space shooter has received a complete visual overhaul, boasting stunning graphics and 3D effects, as well as a new gyroscope-based control option.
It also introduces a refurbished multiplayer mode that up to four players can enjoy using only one game card, allowing them to compete in fast-paced aerial dogfights.
This mode also utilises the Nintendo 3DS' inner camera, meaning players will be able to see the faces and reactions of their competitors as they blast them out of the sky.
Star Fox 64 3D is the first of a number of big-name 3DS games due to hit stores before the end of 2011, with Super Mario 3D and Mario Kart 7 also coming soon.
Published: 09/09/2011
Nintendo has announced that a new colour and a host of extra features are on the way for its high-tech Nintendo 3DS handheld console.
To celebrate one million 3DS sales in Europe, the gaming giant will be releasing a metallic red version of the next-generation portable console on September 30th 2011.
This will be followed in November by the introduction of a system update that adds 3D video recording functionality, allowing users to create their own short 3D movies that can be viewed without any special glasses.
Meanwhile, fans of the console's in-built StreetPass challenges will find that a range of new content is also set to be added.
Nintendo 3DS has experienced a boost in popularity in recent months, thanks to the recent price cut and the launch of top titles such as Star Fox 3D.
The console's software library will be bolstered further in the lead-up to Christmas with the launch of the eagerly awaited Super Mario 3D Land in November, followed by Mario Kart 7 in December.
Published: 13/09/2011
It seems like only a few weeks since we were slurping up news from Gamescom in Cologne (probably because it was only a few weeks ago) but now all eyes are on Japan, as the Tokyo Games Show bursts into life.
Predictably, Nintendo has dominated the first day of the show, with a slew of announcements that should make 3DS owners very happy.
First up is the news that the 3DS port of Monster Hunter Tri - with its second stick add-on - will be followed by official sequel Monster Hunter 4, which will be a Nintendo exclusive. Given that the series has driven the PSP to incredible success in Japan, that's quite a coup for Team Mario.
Also confirmed are pre-Christmas European release dates for Super Mario 3D Land (November 18th) and Mario Kart 7 (December 2nd). The lack of Mario on the 3DS has been a sore point since its Easter launch, so fans will surely be pleased with that. December 2nd will also see the European launch of Pokemon Rumble Blast, the first 3DS title for another classic Nintendo series.
Looking ahead to 2012, Mario Tennis and Animal Crossing will debut on the handheld, while Luigi's Mansion, Kid Icarus and Paper Mario are also on the way.
Back in the driving seat
As the latest entry in one of Nintendo's most successful series, Mario Kart 7 is undoubtedly one of the most hotly anticipated 3DS games to date. Looks and performance-wise, the colourful racer does more than enough to leave Mario Kart Wii's efforts in the dust, while the courses offer the perfect mixture of challenge and accessibility to please veterans and newcomers alike.
The Circle Pad driving controls make handling nice and accurate while the game runs amazingly smoothly, chugging along at 60 frames per second in both 2D and 3D modes, making it one of the slickest Mario Kart experiences to date.
Old and new
Mario Kart 7 features the regular bunch of Nintendo mascots as drivers, including Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Peach, plus some new additions to the series such as Metal Mario from the Super Mario 64 game, Lakitu, the spectacled cloud-riding Koopa and Honey Queen from the Mario Galaxy games.
Weapons and items also feature a blend of the familiar and new, from speed boosting mushrooms, red homing shells and slippery banana skins to the Fire Flower, which allows players to throw blazing balls of fire at other drivers, and the Super Leaf, which gives your driver's kart a bushy tail to knock opponents and items out of the way.
There are 32 tracks, 16 brand new and 16 classic courses from previous Mario Kart games given a fresh lick of paint. They vary from the wacky in nature to more traditional raceways, but all are infused with elements of Nintendo's charming game worlds, from beachy tropical paradises to banana-crammed Donkey Kong inspired tracks.
A number of courses introduce airborne and underwater sections, which add a glider and propeller to your kart respectively. The fun glider sections allow you to soar over big gaps in the raceway and attempt to pull of short-cuts in the sky before landing back on the tarmac, but the underwater sections don't feel like they add much to the experience beyond slowing down karts a little and providing some scenic variety.
Classic karting
Beneath the game's refreshingly crisp look and impressive performance level is the excellent karting experience fans have come to know and love. Mario Kart is about power-sliding round corners and gaining a speed boost, following the perfect racing line along fantastically designed tracks, and blasting opponents off the finish line to steal last minute victories.
Easy to learn but difficult to master, Mario Kart 7 has the lot, both online and offline, and we're in little doubt it'll be one of the best Nintendo games to enjoy this Christmas.

Mario Kart 7 revs into stores this week
Nintendo 3DS owners will be starting their engines this week with the launch of the eagerly awaited Mario Kart 7.
The latest instalment in the multimillion-selling series is the most fully-featured outing yet, with new kart customisation options, 32 different tracks, brand new characters and items, and robust online modes all promised.
Taking control of the likes of Mario, Peach, Lakitu, Wiggler and Daisy, players can tailor their vehicles with different wheel sizes, alternate chassis designs and special attachments, allowing karts to glide through the air or travel underwater.
Mario Kart 7 also ups the ante in multiplayer mode, allowing gamers to wirelessly race over the internet, create communities and special rules or swap profiles and ghost data with those they meet via StreetPass. A special Mario Kart 7 Wheel attachment for the 3DS is sold separately.
This follows the release of the acclaimed Super Mario 3D Land earlier this month, while fans can also look forward to Nintendo 3DS versions of Paper Mario, Mario Tennis and Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games next year.

Mario Kart 7 Review
Easy to learn, hard to master
While the 3DS has played home to some quality games since its March release, the launch of Super Mario 3D Land last month and now Mario Kart 7 mean Nintendo latest portable console has truly arrived. Like Mario Kart for DS, the newest edition in the fan favourite racing series is arguably its host platform best game, offering near endless hours of fun for casual players and more dedicated ones alike. With basic accelerate, brake, fire and jump buttons, it is easy enough that anyone can pick it up and play, but it will take plenty of practice to become a true kart master. Mario Kart 7 is therefore as deep an experience as you want to make it.New heights
The game is split into eight cups, each featuring four circuits based on environments and characters from Nintendo Mushroom Kingdom. Half of the courses are brand new, while the others are remastered versions of ones from older Mario Kart games. Fantastic looking and expertly designed with multiple routes and shortcuts, itl take months to hone the perfect racing lines and discover all of the trackssecrets.A few circuits dispense with the seriestraditional three lap structure, instead offering long A to B dashes without repetition, while almost all feature new underwater and hang-gliding sections, adding true verticality to the Mario Kart mix for the first time. Thankfully, rather than feeling gimmicky, these sections are perfectly implemented so as not to upset a tried-and-tested formula that rewards racing skill while simultaneously managing to produce a degree of unpredictability that gives every player a chance of earning a decent result.
Lucky Number Seven
While youl find a host of familiar weapons and items in Mario Kart 7, including shells to launch at your opponents, speed boosting mushrooms and slippery banana skins to lay on the track, there are a few noteworthy additions too. The rare Lucky 7 power-up gives you seven items to use whenever you wish, the Fire Flower allows you to shoot projectiles either in front or behind, while the Super Leaf gives your kart a bushy tail capable of knocking opponents and items out of the way. Races tend to be action-packed without feeling too chaotic largely thanks to excellent weapon balancing that gives players appropriate power-ups depending on their position in the field.Kart King
While single player Grand Prix events, Time Trials, and the balloon popping and coin collecting mini-games of Battle Mode are all a joy to play in their own right, most of Mario Kart 7 enduring fun is to be found in multiplayer. Available in local or wi-fi flavours, adding seven other humans to the mix makes things really come alive. There a basic ranking system which awards or detracts points based on your performances, and there simply nothing quite like beating your friends and holding the high score.Boasting fantastic production values, near perfectly tuned gameplay and excellent track design, Mario Kart 7 has the lot, both online and offline. Easy to learn but difficult to master, and full of fan-service yet equally attractive to those with zero gaming experience, not only is it one of the best Nintendo games to enjoy this Christmas, but it likely to keep players busy for years to come.
GAME Verdict
+ Feels, looks and sounds great.
+ Excellent online racing.
+ One of the best 3DS games yet.- We will always want more tracks.
- New weapons could be more inventive.
- We had to wait so long for it.Review by: Tom hell ShooterIvan

Mario Kart 7 3DS: Review
It hard to imagine now that when the original Mario Kart was released in 1991 it was the first Mario game to leap from the platforming genre. Before then Nintendo titular, mustachioed mascot had featured in a variety of games in various guises. But each had been threaded together by a common theme: platforms, and the plumber had limited his transport to a diminutive dinosaur.
In pressing Mario into the driving seat of car, Nintendo started the engines on true franchising, demonstrating that its hero was fit for more than just leaping through the Mushroom Kingdom on a mission to rescue a princess. In fact, he was just at home sending her into a spin-out courtesy of a well-placed banana peel.
Twenty years and seven entries later and few things have changed in the Mario Kart template. Grand Prix races in 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc difficulties are available from the moment you click the cartridge into the slot, with the full gamut of 32 tracks (split between 16 new offerings and 16 cherry-picked from previous entries to the series) unlocking as you win medals in each cup.
The classic tracks have been fully revamped to take advantage of those new features that Mario Kart 7 does introduce, principally the special blue ramps that cause your kart to deploy a glider or parachute attachment, before floating back down to earth.
Once airborne you have the chance to either push forward on the 3DS analogue stuck (losing height while gaining speed), or pull back in order to fly above your competitors at the cost of top speed. Revisiting classic tracks with this new feature gives them a fresh spin - not that those original fantastic designs needed much freshening up in the first place.
Another new addition to the template is the opportunity to customize your kart in basic ways by selecting the chassis, wheels and glider attachment for your character. Each selection comes with positives and drawbacks, asking that you state your preference for speed or acceleration through your choice of wheel and so on.
In a rare callback to Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 7 sees the return of the gold coin. These are scattered around each track, ready for collection, and the coins you have in your possession at the end of each race are added to your bank. While there no shop to speak of, collected coins are used to unlock new kart parts at regular intervals, although the fact that you can only carry ten coins per race prevents you from unlocking all of the options too soon into proceedings.
Coins also have a strategic element on the track, as the top speed of your kart is slightly increased depending on how many coins you have in your possession. It adds a risk/ reward dynamic as you decide whether to eschew the racing line in favour of collecting an extra coin or two.
The introduction of a handful of new items to use in battle the likes of a Tanooki tail which can be used to swipe at nearby opponents joining classics such as the heat-seeking red shells and Bullet Bill speed ups - is welcome, as too are the new shortcuts that litter each track.
Finding these is only half the challenge as you'll frequently need to exhibit no small amount of skill in order to take advantage of them using, for example, a blue ramp to launch yourself towards a cave opening in the side of a cliff face. The track design is consistently excellent across the game, and testament to the quality of Nintendo EAD team over the years.
Less worthy of praise is the new first person mode (activated by pressing up on the d-pad), which takes control away from the stick and requires you to tilt the entire machine left and right to steer. A cast-iron gimmick, it of little use. Meanwhile the excellent 3D adds real value to the game and is helped by the fact that you're driving into the screen, where having a sense of true depth is useful.
Sadly there are few single-player extras to entertain once the main Cups have been bested, and the 7 unlockable characters attained. The Mario Kart DS mission mode is sorely missed, with full focus being placed upon the multiplayer component for longevity.
This is as robust as you would expect, and the game is routinely at its best when played with other humans. Up to eight players can take part, either locally or online, and you can share your game with others if you only have one cartridge between you.
The additions may be conservative but Mario Kart 7 is worthy of the name, its taut, impressive racing enjoyable in solitary play, and positively mesmerizing when played with others in the same room. The pure racing is the best it been in years - the package only let down by a lack of meaningful extras for the single player.
+ Excellent track design
+ Tight, responsive controls
+ New items
+Lack of meaningful additions
+Weaker shooting sections -
GAME rounds up a selection of the best portable titles to keep youngsters entertained and out of trouble.

2011 has been a fantastic year for gaming most recognisable face, Nintendo Mario, and 2012 looks set to be another. From platforming to kart racing, tennis, Olympic sports, role playing and party games, the portly yet agile plumber is clearly a highly versatile character who can do it all. Here, GAME takes a look back at a couple of the best Mario games from this year, in case you missed them, and looks ahead to some of 2012 undoubted highlights.
3DS hasn exactly been lacking in quality games in its first year on the market, but the arrival of Super Mario Land 3D (3DS) in November and the launch of Mario Kart 7 earlier this month have really made the portable console a must own system. Mixing the best elements of older Mario games with new ideas and technology, the former is perhaps best described as a blend of the more straightforward, accessible 2D Super Mario Bros. games for Wii and DS and Wii more challenging 3D Super Mario Galaxy titles. Its magical worlds are essentially made up of left to right dashes through obstacle courses, which see players running, jumping, hovering and gliding to master the environments with the aim of reaching a flagpole at the end of each level. With simple, intuitive controls, it instantly accessible and there always a clear path to completing each stage, usually littered with coins to collect, question blocks to bump and enemies to stomp. But Mario can also wander around a little in the game 3D environments, and only explorers and the most skilled players will locate all of the secret areas, items and unlockables ingeniously hidden away in the expertly designed levels.
Mario Kart 7 is another must-play title for newcomers and series veterans alike, mixing old and new to great effect too. It offers 16 new courses and 16 classic ones from older MK games for players to compete on, all based on environments and characters from Nintendo Mushroom Kingdom. The best showcase of the console's 3D screen yet, theye absolutely gorgeous to look at and just as well designed, featuring exciting new airborne and underwater sections to compliment the on-track action. With basic accelerate, brake, fire and jump buttons, the game easy enough that anyone can pick it up and play instantly, but itl take months of practice to master the multi-route tracks, learn all of the shortcuts and become an online karting king.
Looking ahead to 2012, Mario will be joined by a host of Nintendo stablemates as well as characters from Square Enix popular Dragon Quest series in January release Boom Street (Wii). A Monopoly-style board game that challenges players to play the real estate and stock markets to win,here are 27 characters to choose from 13 from Mario games, 13 from Dragon Quest and your Mii and over 15 boards based on memorable areas from each series, with different shapes and layouts providing loads of replay value. Players race around the board trying to accumulate wealth and hit a target value while buying, selling and trading property to see who can be the first to cash out, and with both beginner and advanced settings, it could be the perfect game to get the family huddled round the telly on those cold winter nights.
Mario Tennis (3DS) also looks set to be a smash hit next year. If previous games in the series are anything to go by, itl do its best to nail the balance between realism and zany, fast-paced tennis action starring all of your favourite Mushroom Kingdom characters, as well as a few surprise ones. Wee expecting a mixture of tactical tennis gameplay, special moves and plenty of mini-games that should make a great title for Mario and sports fans alike.
Mario and friends, including Sega favourites like Sonic the Hedgehog, will keep things physical in Mario & Sonic At The London 2012 Olympics on the Nintendo 3DS, which launches in February 2012. Players will go for gold in over 50 Olympic events that make full use of the handheld different control methods, serving up a wide variety of ways to play. Competing for the top of the podium alone or in head-to-head games with friends, players will frantically slide the Circle Pad round and round to row, tilt the system to keep their balance on the beam, and blow into the microphone to keep breathing at the right time while swimming.
Also in 2012, players will see the moustachioed, genre-hopping plumber embark on an exciting new role playing adventure in Paper Mario also on the Nintendo 3DS. It will feature frantic, turn-based battles set in a colourful and varied 3D world that takes in weapons, locations and items from Mario past and present,. It will also require clever strategic use of a range of ability-giving stickers, which can be used to carry out attacks on enemies or to fill in missing parts of the levels.

If you gorged on the excellent double whammy of Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land over Christmas, rest assured Nintendo has more of the rotund plumber planned for 2012.
As well as already announced titles such as Luigi's Mansion 2, Mario Tennis and Paper Mario for the 3D-enabled handheld, Nintendo big cheese Satoru Iwata revealed that another Mario game is planned for release sometime between March and early 2013. This game will be a "totally new side-scrolling action Super Mario in 2D" and is described as a "key title" in Nintendo's 3DS strategy.
The news followed another rousing sales announcement for the 3DS, as Nintendo confirmed it is now the company's fastest selling console of all time, across the world. Over eleven million of the things have been sold in Europe, Japan and the US.
Nintendo has revealed plans to introduce its own fully-featured online network service for its Nintendo 3DS handheld and new Wii U home console.
The Nintendo Network is set to debut later this year and will greatly expand the online functionality of the two consoles, allowing gamers to purchase downloadable content for Nintendo titles or even buy digital copies of full games.
Fans of the recent 3DS title Mario Kart 7 will be pleased to learn that its popular Communities feature - which lets users set their own multiplayer rules and invite others to join their group - will be an integral part of Nintendo Network.
Meanwhile, the Wii U will introduce a personal account system for the first time on a Nintendo console, meaning multiple users will be able to create different profiles on the same system.
The news will help to further bolster the popularity of Nintendo 3DS, which has sold more than 15 million units since its March 2011 launch.
Meanwhile, Wii U - which features a revolutionary tablet-style touchscreen controller - is set to be released across the world before the end of 2012.

Once the Hawks hit ten points on the scoreboard, they would not trail the rest of the way in reaching the century mark; a feat only accomplished twice last year — both times on the road.
Shorter (3-1) got 17 points and nine rebounds from Anthony Banks, including a few fast break dunks that erupted the home crowd.
"The fans gave us a great lift," said coach Chad Warner, "they showed the Winthrop-King Centre is a tough place to play."
The Hawks were able to stretch the lead to 42-24 at the break, thanks in large part to a 42 percent to 29 percent shooting advantage over the Eagles. For the game, Shorter shot 47 percent, including 51.4 percent in the second half.
Kenny Leverette poured in 15 points while grabbing seven boards and dishing a team high six assists.
Pullman added seven board to his night, including a team high six on the defensive side of the ball.
C.J. Davis was able to pull in five rebounds from his guard position, while also handing out five assists.
Dedric Ware score 12 points, and leading the Hawks with three steals.
"Coming off of a good win on Saturday in a tough game", said Warner, "I was really proud of the intensity we played with as a team."
The Hawks got 26 points from the bench, with Brandon Wright scoring 11 and Marquise King adding eight. Wright also pulled in six rebounds – five on the offensive side to lead the Hawks.
"We have some nice positive momentum that we have got to build upon," commented Warner regarding the three-game winning streak.
Shorter will return to the court after the holiday, playing another game on the home court. November 26 will see Faith College visit for an 8 p.m. tip-off from the Winthrop-King Centre.
In other local college action Monday:
GNTC 66, Sewanee 63
Georgia Northwestern Technical College erased an eight-point deficit with four minutes left in Monday's game against Sewanee to come away with a 66-63 victory.
"We came out slow tonight and we really came out in the end and did what we needed to do," said GNTC freshman Trea Covington. "After the coach talking to us at the half, we turned things up. We got a fire in our belly just like he said we needed to do."
With 1.5 seconds remaining, Sewanee's Bryan Beviacqua hit two free throws to the game at 63.
Georgia Northwestern called a timeout to draw up one final play to try to avoid overtime. In the final seconds, Alex Mill hit a 3-pointer from four feet beyond half-court to secure the home win.
"I've hit a three-pointer late before, but never from half-court," said Miller. "I've hit them before in practice but never like that. The ball felt like it weighed 50 pounds."
GNTC head coach David Stephenson says Miller has hit that shot before in practice. "He hits those long shots often in our practice sessions. I really felt like he had a shot at it before he put it up."
Ivester led all scorers with 17 points, grabbed six rebounds and had five steals. Leo Born led the Tigers with 14 points.
The Cats (2-4) will travel to Crown College on Nov. 27 for another non-region game with a four-year program. GNTC's NJCAA Region XVII play begins Jan. 5 in Rome against Southern Crescent Tech.

text: The Show Catwalk Back stage Fashion Shows Autumn/Winter 2010-11 Ready-To-Wear Gianfranco Ferre 26 February 2010 Dolly Jones THERE'S a definite leather thing going on this season - artfully tailored and delicately woven around the body or decorated, it's a softening of the traditional biker chick cliché. So the season is a ripe one for Gianfranco Ferré . Designers Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi celebrated what they love doing best, with aggressively feminine leather dresses teamed with fiercely slicked-back hair and faces that were bare of make-up save for a slick of red on the lips. This was top end leather chic, though - incredibly well constructed, they never hold back on any aspect: quality of material, cut, even the models are always top notch. If not in full leather, they wore shapely wool coats with panels of it running up the side and wide belts with double buckles high on the waist under dramatic fur arms. There were great square shoulder bags, stiff but with plenty of space, whose double chain straps were repeated as metallic belts later on - and tightly tailored grey skirt suits, black and white fur coats striped with more leather, white mohair collarless coats and wool jackets spun with a touch of gold screamed "money, money, money," as Ferre always does. Graphic cuts then melded into pale ribbed cashmere tube dresses and toffee-coloured leather and gold strapless dresses which softened the hardcore attitude, with intricate gold beading highlighting just how regally feminine this label can be. One black jersey full-length backless gown, caught in on one side with a panel of gold sequins, was very elegant while a gorgeously creamy camel section of coats and day dresses meant that trademark Ferré is feeling friendlier than it has been for some time.

49. | Cross Country | ||
A true sport that requires more ability than any non-runner will ever know. It takes hard work and time. Typically you run a 5k or 3.1 miles. Not to be confused with track where there are many different races. Cross Country is definitely a real sport, I don't see anyone else work as hard as runners do. The feeling one gets from finishing a race is impossible to describe, but its the best feeling in the world. Cross country is something that only true runners understand, it takes more than just running, you have to be fit and toned everywhere in your body, you have to have the ability to push through the pain, it takes endurance and stamina, but most of all it takes will power. You have to be willing to try. Cross Country - my sport is you're sports punishment.
The will to achieve means nothing without the will to believe. Our shoes have more miles than your car. |
1. | cross country | ||
The most difficult sport of all. There are no timeouts, substitutions, halftimes, or other breaks. Because of this, the sport requires extreme amounts of stamina and talent to play, and to be successful, it requires even more effort. Cross country consists of long races (minimum 5k or 3.1 miles) over varied terrains, including hills, roads, mud puddles, grassy fields, rocky paths, and sometimes even shallow streams. To complete the race, the runners must not only have the strength to finish, but must also be aware of their surroundings at all times. Stop paying attention to your surroundings, and you could fall, costing you valuable seconds, knocking you out of the race, or even sending you to the hospital. Cross country is not to be confused with indoor/outdoor track. Although they have long-distance events, their longest usually is 5k, cross country's shortest. Also, they have no hills or other obstacles; they just run around a track many times. Road races aren't technically true cross country races, but usually get grouped together with cross country races because of their distance and hills. A true cross country race stays away from pavement as much as possible.
To succeed in cross country, a couple things are neccessary. For one, you have to have a strong heart and put in lots of practice. If running 5+ miles a day doesn't sound like a good workout, you'd better try a less-taxing sport. Secondly, a good pair a racing and training shoes are a must. For racing, lightwe... |
2. | cross country | ||
A sport which is superior to every other sport, because you need talent, and endurance to stand up to the challenge. AND you hafta be a crazy ass mofo to do it, like me. Cross country is better than field hockey because field hockey is for talentless ho's.
3. | cross country | ||
Cross Country is thuggin. It requires long hours of training to be great but the cross country ladies are hot as hell so its worth it. "Wow that cross country 5k race was hard!"
"Yeah but look how good the girls look all sweaty like that after their race" "Damn right playa" |
4. | cross country | ||
Awesome sport in which intelligent people are involved in, that most peeps dont understand unless they are involved in it. cross country runners rock
5. | cross country | ||
Cross country is a fucking hard core sport for real athletes who dont enjoy rolling around in the mud with other men (football). Often get shit from other pussy sports players like sprinters and football players. Have a lot of endurance and stamina and there are also girls involved. Cross Country runners also get called gay for wearing short shorts but they never participate in spirited games of grabass such as football players. Put simply, cross country is kick ass. Wow! Those cross country guys ran 10 miles!
6. | cross country | ||
XC is the best sport ever!!! Although you run for individual times, cross country is definatley a team sport. Teams are close-knit w/ great coaches and lots of crazy fun traditions, such as hitting signs or boxer day. I know this definition is not really that good, for it doesn't even begin to explain running and how great XC is or why you love it so much- but I've tried to explain cross-country to non-running people countless times before and they just don't get it. If your a dedicated cross country runner, than you understand - but everyone else just doesn't get it - but for those of us that do - well no more needs to be said Some people limit their challenges.
Champions challenge their limits - cross country runners always challenge their limits. |
7. | cross country | ||
Cross country is a sport that is often disliked by individuals who dislike the fact that it requires more dedication and will than any other sport. John Saunders doesn't like cross country. He perfers to stay at home and polish his pickle.

To enter a float in the parade, contact the chamber about filling out an entry form in advance of the parade.

New this year will be activities organized by the Just a Dollar store for Pet and Doll participants when they exit the parade at the parking lot of Creative Leisure and Just a Dollar.
Parade participants who plan to share candy with the parade crowd are asked to provide walkers to throw candy toward the gutters and not throw candy from moving vehicles.

Sarah helps to make sure all the festival kids are alright
Last updated at 21:08, Thursday, 09 August 2012
A mother of two, pregnant with a third child and working nights as a nurse – somehow Sarah Kay also finds time to help organise Solfest.
But none of that fazes her as the hugely popular Kids Arena at the annual music event is her passion and her creation.
Sarah, 31, of Laurel House, Abbeytown, created the arena at the first Solfest in 2004 to allow families to have a place to go.
The arena has grown over the years and now has arts and crafts, climbing frames, sand pits and live performances.
At its heart is the Baby Chill-Out Tent which offers a warm, dry space full of toys, books and comfortable seats.
The Kids Arena was recognised for its excellence a couple of years ago after winning the Virtual Festival's best family friendly festival award.
Solfest, which is staged every August in an idyllic rural setting at Tarns, between Aspatria and Silloth, has become known for attracting family groups.
Sarah says: "We just wanted to make a festival that we would all want to go to.
"Although back in 2004 no one on the committee had any children, we still wanted to run a safe festival that was fun for everyone.
"Families aren't just about children, it's about everyone being happy."
However, last year saw Sarah take a break from running the Kids Arena, becoming an advisor and a helper at the festival.
With two young children and a full-time nursing job at the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven, she decided to take a year off.
She says: "I work full-time and it just got a bit too much. It was difficult to get to meetings.
"But I missed it too much. It felt like giving away a baby.
"It was tough seeing someone else run it. I acted as an advisor and offered support.
"It was just difficult to see someone else running my passion and my baby."
She won't be completely on her own this year as she has drafted in the services of husband Simon in helping to run the arena.
Sarah is aiming to get an award for the Kids Arena again this year by booking some great entertainment.
The Crafty Monkeys from Penrith will be doing mosaic and bead making, and pottery painting.
The Singing Kettle band, who don't usually perform at festivals, will be playing their traditional children's folk songs on the Sunday.
There will also be a toy dog show, with children encouraged to bring their own toy dogs, and there will be pool and hockey tables.
Sarah believes that what makes Solfest so popular is the diversity of the festival.
She says: "People don't like to be ripped off.
"You can buy a pint or crisps that you would pay the same price for in a pub.
"We have got a lovely location. People from down south really enjoy it.
"There is something for everyone. There is every kind of music.
"It's a family festival. It's 24 hours of entertainment each day, so there is always something for people to do."
Sarah will be running the Kids Arena while pregnant, as she is expecting her third child in October.
She ran the arena twice while pregnant with her son, Joseph, three, and daughter, Elsie, two.
She says: "I am going to have another full-on heavy festival.
"But I am very much looking forward to the festival this year."

The cello-shaped Verizon Hall serenades eyes with mahogany accents under the 150-foot barrel-vaulted glass ceiling of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. With seats for 2,500 audience members, the hall immerses both spectators and musicians in the clarity generated by its premium acoustics, which absorb vibrations from the subway tunnel below with 225 rubber isolation pads and allow for precise tuning with retractable curtains and sound-reflecting panels. Seasoned jazz artist Branford Marsalis confirmed Verizon Hall's sound acumen when he told NPR it is "the best concert hall on the East Coast."

When Brian McInerney reflects on the humble beginnings of Wheel Fun Rentals, he points to his childhood passion for bikes. "As far back as I can remember, I had a real love affair with bicycles," he recalls. During a trip to Italy in 1987, Brian's affinity for cycling blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when he spotted locals' transporter of choice, the surrey. Inspired, he began importing the Italian four-wheelers to a rental business in the U.S. that eventually expanded into Wheel Fun Rentals, now a nationwide web of shops that also loans out bikes, electric cars and mopeds, and man-powered watercraft. Atop bicycles and surreys built for solo riders or entire families, patrons embark on self-guided tours of major U.S. cities. Led by maps and lists of nearby sites of historical or cultural significance, riders zoom down bike paths and safe, lightly trafficked streets. Adventuresome athletes can also compete in activities such as surrey scavenger hunts and blindfold obstacle courses navigated via shouted instructions from a seeing teammate or exceptionally long rounds of trial and error.

How to Sneak in on a Marketing Funnel and Score Some Cash
by Tim · Filed Under: Affiliate Marketing · Blogging · Internet Marketing · Profit
You've been studying online marketing strategies and getting into or have been doing internet marketing or online marketing to make a profit and to do this you have to market or sell something, whether it's your own products or someone else's products. This is as basic as it gets. But, I want to show you a little trick to come into the perfect position in a marketing funnel as a beginner.
Most serious online sales (and offline) follow a specific process or cycle of events.
Buyers Behavior Stage 1:
The potential buyer decides that he has a problem or need something.
Buyers Behavior Stage 2:
He begins to research the problem and sound out possible solutions. Many people find free information/solutions to their problems at this stage and drop out of the cycle. Many times in this step friends come into play because of the trust/influence level, but they still recommend products that have helped them and then it's on to Step 3 to do research and find reviews on these recommended products.
Buyers Behavior Stage 3:
His research and his own particular leanings make him begin to favor a particular type of solution or product. He now starts looking at review and comparison sites.
Buyers Behavior Stage 4:
Having read a few reviews he's now favoring a particular product, and seeking reassurance, looking for the best price or the best bonus.
Although it's only four stages, it can become complicated on how to implement this whole process into your business. The so called gurus have figured this out to a science and can take their prospects through the whole thing until the last stage where they buy their products leaving them with a nice helping of cash in their bank account. So I want to break this down into one small action step and give you something to take away from this that can be done right away without having to be a super ninja guru.
Check out Stage 3, reviewing the products. This is a great place to come into this funnel as a beginner because the buyer has already concluded they have a problem, need a solution and have a handful of products to review and then make a choice on which one to buy. Generally buyers will not drop out of the funnel at this point because they have invested valuable time getting this far.
I'm sure you have some products that you have bought along the way sitting on a shelf collecting dust at this point. So dust 'em off and create a blog post, Hubpage, or an Ezine article (the best would be to do all three) and put your review or recommendation about the product with your affiliate link inside the article. Pick a couple that you gained the most knowledge about and even implemented in your business already. Just make sure you at least have the name of the product first and then the word review in your title so you have a chance at being found in the search engines. Be creative with your title, but make sure those two elements are in there. You want it to stand out from the other reviews out there.
One suggestion. Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income gets the best conversion rates of a product review by creating a video of some sort along with the review explaining to others how to use the product. I know some other marketers that video themselves opening up the product package when it arrives, flipping through the book, opening the CD cases and then following up with a "how to" video. You could also create an audio or pod cast outlining some of the key points of the product and how they can put it to use. This works because of the personal interaction and not just a bunch of words.
I you want to crush it out of the park, then become an expert about the product you are reviewing, not just someone who has read the book, listened to the cd's or downloaded the software and used it a couple of times. Pick the ones you are passionate about and can answer questions that may come about from those who are responding to you about the product. These will most likely be the ones you have implemented in your business up to this point. In your review think about the objections your buyer may have and answer them up front. This creates value and puts you in front of everybody else out there that has reviewed the same product. Also, by creating these "how to" videos, audios or how ever you chose to present them while presenting yourself as the expert and the resource to go to, the potential buyer feels comfortable buying the product from you.
So go through your library, pick the ones you want to review and get going. This is an action step that does require a little work on your part, but once you get started you'll see how much fun and easy it will become.
I hope this article has helped you in some way, shape or form. Let me know what you think in the comments below. Also, if you have created product reviews, what has been your experience and some of your tips.
Talk soon,
P.S. If you have an iPhone I highly recommend you download Pat's Smart Passive Income app. Super cool app that you can take on the go to get all of his information, including blog posts, Twitter stream and podcasts. And best of all it's FREE.

Protein kinases play an important role in cell signaling and in various cellular functions such as neurotransmitter release, long-term potentiation, the mediation of hormonal actions and in regulation of ion channel responses to extracellular signals. The availability of the appropriate tools to study protein kinases in neuronal signaling will certainly hasten the pace of discoveries and understanding of the mechanisms involved in neuronal growth, signaling and neurodegeneration. We have developed two such reagents, the SignaTECT® CaM KII System and Anti-ACTIVE® CaM KII pAb, Rabbit, (pT286). The SignaTECT® System can be used to detect the kinase activity and the activation of CaM KII with high sensitivity (i.e., nanogram level of enzyme). Anti-ACTIVE® CaM KII pAb, Rabbit, (pT286) can detect the phosphorylation of a threonine residue that is critical to CaM KII regulation as a result of enzyme autophosphorylation under increased calcium signaling. These reagents will allow researchers to study CaM KII signaling in various model systems including neuronal cultures, PC12 cells and brain tissue.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Michigan State coach Tom Izzo says some teams make the mistake of trying to speed up Wisconsin.
Instead, the 13th-ranked Spartans decided to grind the Badgers down.
Keith Appling scored 19 points and Branden Dawson added 18 while grabbing 13 rebounds to lead Michigan State to a 49-47 victory over Wisconsin in a defensive struggle Tuesday night.
"They don't turn it over. I don't care who they're playing," said Izzo, whose team finished with 10 turnovers, one more than Wisconsin. "So we said we have to play like them in that respect. We wanted to run, but we wanted to be solid with the ball, and I think we did a good of that."
It should be no shock the game was a grind considering Wisconsin is tops in the Big Ten in scoring defense and the Spartans are third. But defense alone doesn't explain the offensive struggles of both teams.
They both went more than 4 minutes without scoring down the stretch until Dawson broke the drought, hitting one of two from the free throw line. That put the Spartans (17-3, 6-1 Big Ten) up 48-44 with just over 2 minutes left.
The defenses clamped down again until Ryan Evans' 3-pointer from the wing with 17 seconds left pulled Wisconsin (13-6, 4-2) within 48-47.
The Badgers fouled Michigan State freshman Gary Harris. He took his time in hitting the front end of a 1-and-1, but rimmed out the second to leave the Spartans up 49-47.
Wisconsin's George Marshall, who missed practice Monday because he was sick, then drove the lane and was fouled with 3.5 seconds left. But he missed the first free throw and intentionally tried to miss the second, failing to draw iron and giving the ball to the Spartans.
After winning their first game at Wisconsin since 2001 last season, the Spartans have won two straight at the Kohl Center and have a four-game winning streak against the Badgers. Continued...
"I just love playing against Wisconsin," Appling said. "Each year they have competitive guys that push me and make me better, so I just look at it as a challenge. These past couple years it's worked out in my favor and my team's favor."
Though it was a defensive struggle for both sides, Wisconsin took the worst of it.
The Badgers shot just less than 30 percent from the field, including 8 of 27 from 3-point range. The starting frontcourt — Evans, Mike Bruesewitz and Jared Berggren — combined to shoot 9 of 32.
Wisconsin played without backup forward Frank Kaminsky, who missed his second straight game after being poked in the eye at Indiana last week. Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said it hurt to lose a post player who can score.
Bruesewitz led the Badgers with 10 points.
"You can have a guy have an off night," Ryan said. "We had more than one guy have an off night, and it's a one possession game. That's frustrating because you know you had opportunities."
It was another poor showing night at the free throw line for the Badgers. Berggren, who came in shooting 76 percent from the line, missed three straight during Wisconsin's second-half scoreless streak, including the front end of a 1-and-1. The Badgers finished 7 of 18 from the line, including 5 of 13 in the second half, and are now shooting 61 percent on the season.
Berggren said it was particularly painful that the missed free throws included two after he went in for a dunk and was fouled during the scoreless stretch, saying he needed to fight through the contact better.
"To get easy points like that and leave those on the board is frustrating," he said.

I'm no cuisinier of dog food, but I imagine morning work includes rendering meat scraps because that plant sends forth air that smells like breakfast cooking.
Windows down, slowed to the minimum, I drink in the aroma of sizzling breakfast. It is heavenly.
More so than any other sense, smells can transport us into another time, place, relationship.
Memories sit hiding somewhere in our brains until something activates them.
Old ham radios, as well as the transmitters of broadcast stations, smelled like old dust cooking on hot vacuum tubes with a touch of stale cigarette smoke residue in ceiling tiles. Radio equipment is more sensitive today and doesn't tolerate coatings of cigarette tar.
There hasn't been a box of powdered detergent in this house in years, but the smell of Tide detergent nearly gets me back to sheets and shirts flapping from a close line.
Even today, my maternal grandmother's house carries a familiar faint smell, the smell of her house. The smell comes from the residue of smoke from her ancient wood-burning cook stove and condensed oils and fats from cooking. There was the unmistakable scent of that woman. I can't describe it beyond calling it the essence of a powdered old woman.
This time of year candles and air fresheners keep homes smelling of things we associate with winter holidays.
The bouquet of evergreens invokes memory of a freshly cut Christmas tree.
Standing among pine trees transports me back into my teen years in south Georgia where many used pine limbs for garland and saplings for Christmas trees.
Fragrance dispensing plug-ins conjure up scents of home holiday baking. Combine vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and you have a bouquet of home cooking, a pie, an apple pie. Realtors know that to make a house smell homey it should be filled with scents of domestic life. A good apple/cinnamon plug-in can cover a lot of dirty socks.
The smell of hot apple juice opens my memory's front door of a family's "Open House" in Ailey, Ga., and a cup of "Ailey Ale."
I don't know what was in it, and only one man might recall the recipe.
The ingredients that make baby powder smell like what it is is a trade secret, but talc, talcum powder and corn starch smell nothing like a baby. When I get a whiff of its top notes, I think of changing diapers.
There is no mistaking the smell of a barber shop and the scent of the hair gunk and aftershave lotions.
Chicken processing plants, hog farms and feedlots smell like money to some people.
I'll just leave that where it is.

"I barely know what to say," Lady Gaga writes on her Facebook page, Tuesday. "I've been hiding a show injury and chronic pain for some time now, [and] over the past month it has worsened. I've been praying it would heal. I hid it from my staff. I didn't want to disappoint my amazing fans. However, after last night's performance I could not walk and still can't."
Lady Gaga was diagnosed with a case of synovitis, which is severe inflammation of the joints and was forced to postpone two concerts in Chicago, one in Detroit and one in Hamilton, Ontario.
"I hope you can forgive me, as it is nearly impossible for me to forgive myself," the rest of her Facebook post says. "I'm devastated & sad. It will hopefully heal as soon as possible. I hate this. I hate this so much. I love you and I'm sorry."

Monitoring the number of days in your menstrual cycle helps you figure out when youre ovulating and if your bleeding pattern is normal.
A series of hormone events happens in your brain, ovary, and uterus it ends with menses or bleeding. Even though its the final event, its also the most obvious. So this is what you use to count your cycle.
Cycle length is the number of days from the first day of one period to the start of the next period. It varies for each woman. The length of a normal cycle can vary from 21 to 45 days. But in any one woman, it typically varies only by 3-4 days from month to month.
Normal menses last from 2-7 days. There should be no spotting in between periods.
You should count day 1 of your cycle as the first day that you bleed even if the flow is light. If you have a day of very minor spotting before flow, you can use either day to count as your day 1. But be consistent from month to month.
If the total number of days that you show any blood lasts more than 7 days, this is an abnormal pattern. If the lengths of your cycle or the days of flow are consistently abnormal, make an appointment with your doctor.
