The dirt behind real estate deals
Redfin is asking its agents to dish online about real estate bidding wars.
Real estate bidding wars are often more competitive than March Madness and more dramatic than professional wrestling.
Until now, home shoppers who've wanted details on why one buyer prevails over others in neighborhood smackdowns have largely been out of luck. Seattle-based real-estate company Redfin is trying to change that. It's asking its agents to dish online about bidding wars.
Agents don't have to post. Those who choose to can write what are called "Offer Insights," which you can see on the right side of Redfin's pages of homes for sale.
Details behind deals
"For every neighborhood we serve, our goal is to give you an intimate view of how every deal went down," blogs Redfin founder Glenn Kelman.
Buyers are keenly attuned to the nuances of how to score an advantage as buying in competitive markets grows tougher. In January, says Redfin, 69% of its clients faced competing offers in the 20 real-estate markets where it operates. A year ago, 53% did, Kelman writes.
"Whenever we represent a client on an offer to buy a home, we publish data on whether we won, how many competing offers we faced, how long the property was on the market, how much our buyer offered compared to list price and the rough amount of our buyer's planned down payment," he writes.
Before a sale closes, most details are withheld. Deals in progress are identified only by neighborhood. You'll see only an offer's status, the number of competing offers, the approximate "offer-to-list ratio" and down payment size (both provided within ranges) offered by Redfin buyers, Inman News explains.
Inman writes:
"After closing, the offer-to-list price ratio will become exact, but down payment info will remain broad. Upon closing, the 'Offer Insights' will also include the listing's address and notes from Redfin agents about how the offer process went -- whether negotiation favored buyer or seller and other details about why or why not an offer was accepted, for example."
Voyeurs get a fix
In Los Angeles, real-estate voyeurs can see what it took to win a seven-offer cash war over a fixer-upper. It ended, writes agent John Venti, with a win for his buyers, who offered 3% over the listing price and waived contingencies. They further sweetened the deal by saying they'd pay the seller's title insurance and clear junk off the property.
Agent Mark Biggins' buyers were outflanked in an 18-offer standoff. The prize: a home in El Cerrito, Calif., that sold for $755,000 -- about $150,000 over the asking price. The winner got the home inspected early and offered to buy it as is and with no contingencies. Buyers typically make offers dependent on the results of a home inspection that's done later.
As these reports from the trenches show, throwing more money at a seller isn't the only key. "We got it!," writes Acton, Mass., agent Risa Bell. Her clients beat out four others with an offer just 2% over the asking price. The other bidders were contractors, Bell writes, and "the seller was happy to be selling to a private party!"
There are critics. "Buyers should be made aware of the possible risks of participating," Brian Larson, an attorney with Larson/Sobotka PLLC in Minneapolis, told Inman News Service. "I think that a broker disclosing information about her buyer's offer during the negotiation process should have the buyer's permission after having informed the buyer of any possible or likely negative consequences of the disclosure," Larson said.
Redfin counters that "it's structured in such a way that there's no way to identify a specific property" during negotiations.
Inman says Redfin may add more details: "Though currently not part of the program, Redfin is considering adding its seller's agents offer info, and providing instant alerts to users who want to keep track of offer activity in a certain area."
Not your old-school Realtor
A word about 11-year-old Redfin: The online company pays agents salaries, not commissions. (They get bonuses based on customer reviews.) Home sellers pay the traditional commissions of up to 6% of the selling price to sellers' and buyers' agents. But they get back rebates based on the sale price.
Redfin cultivates a reputation for working to blow up old-school real estate. "Redfin is doing their best to completely remove real-estate agents and brokers from at least half of a home sale," wrote TechCrunch.
In 2007, CEO Glenn Kelman famously told "60 Minutes" that real estate is "by far the most screwed up industry in America."
"When we started brokering transactions," he told CNNMoney in 2006, "people threatened to break our kneecaps."
Redfin tried for a time posting reviews of homes for sale in San Francisco and Seattle. But the multiple listing company -- which owns the stream of home listings -- fined Redfin $50,000 and threatened to cut its access, according to Seattlepi.com. Redfin axed the reviews.

An ax murderer serving a life sentence at the North Dakota State Pen has been charged with a new crime, attempted murder for an incident inside the prison.
Along with Attempted Murder, John Bridges is also charged with Possession of Contraband by an Inmate.
Both crimes are Class A felonies.
Court documents say Bridges stabbed Daryl Lawson, a corrections officer at the State Pen.
Bridges is also accused of making and possess a knife with the intent to assault Lawson.
The crime happened August 25th.
Bridges is serving a life sentence plus 20 years without parole for the kidnapping and ax murder of Lee Clay last year.
The psychologist who evaluated Bridges in that case described him as being the most psychotic and dangerous person he had ever evaluated.
No court date has been set for Bridges to appear on the new charges.
Bridges is currently being held in the Administrative Segregation portion of the Prison.

To my knowledge, there isnt a limit on the number that can be present, but there is the fact that there are only three rarespawns per zone, eg. aotona, king krush and loque'nahak in sholazar. so while all the rares in a zone might be present (somewhere), there will never be more than three of them around

Quake Zero Name Changed Due to Domain SquatterThough Quake Zero--id Software's free online version of Quake III--was announced at QuakeCon 2007, the name was subsequently changed to Quake Live with no explanation.
id co-founder John Carmack today revealed that the change of the name was due to an enterprising domain name squatter.
"This was an idea we had mere weeks before QuakeCon," said Carmack, emphasizing the freewheeling nature of the Quake Zero announcement.
As it turned out, the speed of the game's unveiling came back to bite the company, when a quick anonymous individual purchased the Quake Zero internet domain names.
"They offered us a considered buyout option for it," added Carmack. "We just decided heck, we're only a few months into development of this, we'll just change the name."

Reebok Spartan Race is officially set to conquer France. November 24, 2013 the Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet will host the premiere of the Reebok Spartan Race first appearance in France. Thousands of participants are expected to be there for the inaugural event. We are promising that more races will be coming to France in the future.
Our international growth was inevitable. In 2013 alone more than 750,000 participants will complete a Spartan Race in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Great Britain, Slovakia, Czech Republic – and now France. The commitment of Reebok to be the global title sponsor of the Spartan Race Series proves the importance of this emerging sport. And France is just one of the many countries being added to the global Spartan community in the near future.
On Sunday, November 24, 2013 the Circuit Paul Ricard and thousands of participants will start their fight to overcome not one but two challenging courses with obstacles that will take all their stamina, strength, endurance and willpower to find the finish line. The Reebok Spartan Race at Circuit Paul Ricard will offer two different distances: the Spartan Sprint with a roughly 6k course of and 15 or more obstacles. And the Spartan Super, a roughly 13K course that will introduce the worthy Spartans to 20 or more obstacles. Participants will not have access to a map prior to racing. So they will not know the exact distance, or number of type of obstacles until they face it- just like the Spartans in ancient times. Expect the unexpected!
The two Spartan Races will challenge the participants, it will be a difficult challenge, but in the end they will join hundreds of thousands of other proud Spartans. Spartan Races are for everyone; young or old, avid runner, beginner, or hardcore obstacle racer- this will be a unique experience for everyone and we're pleased to be bringing that to France!
The spectator friendly Spartan Race grounds will feature a festival area with music, entertainment – and the opportunity for spectators to test themselves on stand alone obstacles and contests. The course also allows opportunities to see friends and families in action on the course! The Spartan Juniors race will create the next generation of Spartans on a course dedicated for children ages 6 – 13.
The Circuit Paul Ricard offers ideal conditions for the first Spartan Race in France. Featuring a state of the art race course in the middle of a stunning landscape that will welcome the athletes and spectators before they head off to the switchback trails of the backwoods, forest, trails, rivers and a very challenging hilly terrain.
Spartan Race founder Joe De Sena says, "We've been in Great Britain for three years but we've wanted to expand our Spartan footprint for some time. We get requests every day to bring a race to new places – and at Spartan we're listening! We are thrilled to announce that we are expanding deeper into Western Europe with the help of our partners at SPCGE. We said we were growing globally, and this is a great example of how we're making that happen. The sport of Obstacle Course racing is a global movement and we're dedicated to reaching every corner of the map."

Recording King Studio Series 12 Fret O Acoustic GuitarThe Recording King Studio Series 12 Fret O Acoustic Guitar was developed in collaboration with guitarist and historian Eric Schoenberg. This guitar (model RP1-626) offers players the even frequency response, clarity and wider neck traditional to a classic parlor style, but the unique addition of a cutaway gives fingerstyle guitarists easier access to the upper frets. The one-piece mahogany neck with a classic v-profile meets the body at the 12-fret with a hand cut dovetail joint, giving these guitars a true small body sound, warm and rich, but perfectly balanced. The solid AAA Engelmann spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides have been carefully selected and hand-assembled. With a 1-3/4" nut width, Grover tuners, ebony fretboard and ebony pyramid bridge, the O guitars are as well-appointed and unique as they are beautiful. Each guitar is sprayed with a thin coat of nitrocellulose lacquer and then hand-buffed for a finish that is extremely resonant and historically accurate. The RP1-626 model has Recording King's lifetime warranty.The size of guitars in this Studio Series are designated by the number of "O"s in their name. Starting with a single "O" for the smallest size and increasing to "OOO" for the largest.More about the collaboration:Eric Schoenberg's influence on guitar marries traditional fingerstyle playing to classic ragtime and walking basslines. His Fingerpicking Beatles book is considered an essential text for modern fingerstyle players (see our sku# 904086). Mr. Schoenberg prefers the 12-fret neck joint as it gives the guitars a gutsier voice.Recording King Studio guitars illustrate the relentless pursuit of classic tone. No element has been overlooked in assembling one of the best sounding 12-Fret guitars available.Each guitar is built with lighter bracing for more resonance, and the ebony pyramid bridge helps enable greater vibration from the hand-selected tops.The Nitrocellulose lacquer finish is dried for 8 weeks in order to insure that the lacquer is properly bonded to the wood. Both the gloss and matte finishes allow the guitars to sing powerfully and clearly.Recording King has built the ultimate in small-body guitars for the discerning player who is looking for supreme sound quality and excellence in construction.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

Home » Masahiro Chono » Rumors
Masahiro Chono
Real Name
Masahiro Chono
Date of Birth
September 17, 1963
Place of Birth
Long known as one of the most famous wrestlers in all of Japan, Masahiro Chono has signed a new deal with WWE. However, the contract is not for him to become an in ring performer for the company. Chono and WWE have an agreement that enables the international star to sell nWo related merchandise in Japan. Chono was a part of the stable and feels that now is a good time to bring the items back to the overseas market.
July 10, 2014
While defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, Masahiro Chono suffered a serious neck injury when Steve Austin botched a pile driver spot. While the initial reaction is that it is a potentially a career ending incident, there are still some that believe that he can make a return in just a few months.
September 23, 1992
Fans were a bit puzzled in regards to how Monday Night Raw was booked this week. John Cena kept telling fans that Paul Heyman only had until halftime to produce Brock Lesnar before an attack would happen. The incident took place closer to the two hour mark than halfway through the show. Reports have surfaced that WWE did this because Vince McMahon wanted to draw in viewers from the NFL game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles. He used Lesnar and Cena, two of the bigger names in wrestling, to try to get fans to switch channels during halftime of the game.
September 16, 2014
It looks like another wrestler is upset with WWE and wants time off. This time, it's Randy Orton. The former world heavyweight champion is said to be really upset with how management has been utilizing him. The belief is that Orton feels that he should be involved in the main event scene more frequently. He has been demanding some time away from WWE, but since the roster is so thin right now, management has only been able to give him time away from live events over the last couple of weeks.
September 16, 2014
When his contract was expiring, a lot of fans wondered what TNA would do with Bully Ray and his stories since he was leaving the company. The two sides have reached an agreement to continue working together, so that the stories can be resolved. Bully Ray will also work the Bound For Glory 2014 event and be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame before parting ways.
September 15, 2014
Professional wrestling and football have long had a connection, as a lot of players from the gridiron have successfully made the switch to the squared circle. Triple H wants that tradition to continue, so WWE is now targeting more football players to join their developmental program. While there are a couple of guys already on the roster with athletic backgrounds, the company is looking for guys with more name value. WWE is also willing to pay these guys more money than the wrestlers.
September 15, 2014
Rumors are spreading rapidly right now that Bully Ray has signed a new contract with TNA. The speculation stems from the fact that the company is now openly advertising him for Bound For Glory 2014. His contract expired not too long ago, and at the time, the belief was that the two sides were not able to come to an agreement on a new deal because TNA was still waiting for a television contract. There is also a chance that Bully Ray could just be doing a one time thing for the company.
September 13, 2014
If you watched WWE NXT Takeover last night, you know that Tyler Breeze failed to win the heavyweight championship. However, management might have something better for him. Reports have surfaced that Breeze is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster, where the cocky character will be joining the entourage of the Miz, which already features Damien Sandow.
September 12, 2014
Some rumors floated around this week that WWE was looking to sell their entire tape library to Warner Bros. That caused a lot of gullible fans to believe that Vince McMahon was giving up on the WWE Network. Rumors are false, as the article was filled with quite a bit of inaccuracies, including the statement that Cinadigm was the actual owner of the footage.
September 12, 2014
Over the last couple of weeks, there has been a bit of a struggle backstage in WWE. On one side is Vince McMahon, who wants John Cena to be booked as dominant as possible, so that fans will buy into his upcoming rematch against Brock Lesnar at Night of Champions 2014. On the other side is everyone else, who does not believe that Cena should be dominating the other performers on the roster that much.
September 12, 2014
Dixie Carter has remained steadfast in TNA being able to keep Impact Wrestling on television. While a deal with Spike is now unlikely, the company has received interest from Velocity and WGN. The latest reports are saying that there are two other networks, which are currently unnamed at this time, interested. One of the networks is said to even be stronger than Spike.
September 11, 2014
Since the bunny that accompanies Adam Rose has been featured more frequently on television as of late, fans have been speculating that WWE will eventually have him work a match. It looks like that might happen sooner than later. There are talks that Rose and the bunny could be teaming up to battle Heath Slater and Titus ONeil during the kickoff match at Night of Champions 2014.
September 11, 2014
When he was feuding with John Cena, Bray Wyatt appeared to be a lock to remain in the WWE main event scene for quite some time. When that feud ended, he was able to maintain some momentum when Chris Jericho made his return to the company and feuded with Wyatt. Since there is a lack of top level talent in WWE, there are now talks that management could have Wyatt feuding with Dolph Ziggler over the Intercontinental Championship, even though it seems out of the norm for his character to chase a secondary belt.
September 10, 2014
For those of you that have been wondering about his whereabouts, Christian is definitely still with WWE. In fact, he has reportedly been medically cleared to make a return for quite some time now. However, management is simply choosing not to utilize him at this point. The creative department has not bothered to write a story for him. Some believe that Christian may never make a return as a wrestler in WWE at this point.
September 10, 2014
There has been a ton of speculations on the situation between Michael Elgin and ROH. The former heavyweight champion apparently is stuck in Canada and cannot return to the United States because of issues with his work visa. New reports have surfaced that ROH management places the blame squarely on Elgin for being unorganized. For those that do not know, he abruptly dropped the heavyweight championship under mysterious conditions.
September 10, 2014
With news spreading that Sean OHaire has passed away, there have been a ton of speculations as to the details of his death. One of the rumors circulating right now is that the former WWE star was battling a severe case of depression. The belief is that he was having a hard time since he had failed careers in professional wrestling, MMA and boxing. Still no official word yet on the cause of his death.
September 10, 2014
While there has not been a lot of news recently about the television contract situation in TNA, there is still a ton of things going on backstage. Reports have surfaced that Dixie Carter has been meeting with potential silent investors. For those that are not aware, silent investors are those that do not have much of a say in how the company operates. There are talks that the investment amount starts at $10 million.
September 9, 2014
Rumors surfaced over the weekend that Michael Elgin had backstage heat on him from management over comments that he made about wanting to take a break from ROH and trying out for professional baseball in the near future. Reports have surfaced that those rumors are false because management is actually upset with him for doing the job to Trevor Lee at a PWG show. ROH rightfully does not believe that their world heavyweight champion should be putting people in other companies over.
September 9, 2014
Brie Bella recently gave WWE fans some hope when she revealed that Daniel Bryan was no longer going to need a second surgery to repair his neck injury. Many were expecting him to return by January, which happens to be the month that Royal Rumble 2015 takes place. However, reports are now surfacing that WWE is trying to see if Bryan can make his return at Survivor Series 2014 instead.
September 9, 2014
One of the growing points of emphasis on Monday Night Raw lately has become the bunny that accompanies Adam Rose to ringside. A lot of WWE fans are wondering who is the person behind the suit. Many of the guesses have been based upon the movies that the bunny does. However, management is simply throwing off the fans with moves like the super kick. Right now, the strongest candidate to be revealed under the suit is Darren Young, who should be returning from a serious leg injury soon.
September 9, 2014
When Michael Elgin dropped the ROH title to Jay Briscoe this weekend, a lot of fans were puzzled about the move because it seemed out of the ordinary. Reports immediately surfaced that management was upset with Elgin because he publicly stated that he wanted to try out for MLB. That prompted Elgin to go online and deny that the rumors are true. He stated that ROH was quite supportive of his decision.
September 8, 2014
One of the more discussed topics online among wrestling fans is the future of Impact Wrestling, whose television contract with Spike is expiring at the end of the year and is reportedly not being renewed. Dixie Carter has stated that the company is still in negotiations to remain on television. A new network has popped up as a potential landing spot, and that network is WGN, who used to broadcast WWE shows.

As hurricane season arrives, city urges preparedness
The city's top crisis management officials met in Staten Island on Wednesday to encourage New Yorkers to prepare for the upcoming hurricane season.
The city's Office of Emergency Management and FEMA unveiled an ad campaign urging families to plan carefully for disasters at an event in one of the boroughs worst hit by Hurricane Sandy last October. The campaign is part of the 10th annual National Emergency Preparedness Month.
"I think people are taking this much more seriously (after Sandy)," OEM Commissioner Joseph Bruno told DNAinfo.com. "I expect much more adherence than we'd ever had."
Recommended plans include having a discussion with loved ones about what to do and where to meet in the event of another disaster, particularly if phones aren't working. New Yorkers are also encouraged to check on their neighbors.

The Better Business Bureau has recently been informed about consumers receiving suspicious calls from scammers saying they qualify for a government grant.
BBB officials say this is a popular scam because most people are not familiar with government grant programs and are not sure if they might qualify for one.
"Grants are not easy to come by and there is always an in-depth process that applicants must go through before they are awarded anything. So, if you didn't apply for a grant and you receive one of these calls, someone is trying to scam you," warns BBB President and CEO Jim Hegarty.
The BBB says grant scammers generally follow a script. They congratulate you on your eligibility, then ask for your checking account information so they can "deposit your grant directly into your account," or cover a one-time "processing fee." The caller may even reassure you that you can get a refund if you're not satisfied.
To avoid being a victim of a grant scam, the BBB advises:

Last Shard – Beta Game Footage
Here's some beta footage of gameplay from The Last Shard, with music by me. It's going to be available on Ipad soon. Thanks to Rogerio for putting the demo together for me.
Unused Cue for a Film
This is a bit less 'crash-bang-wallop' than the stuff I usually post here, but since it will never see the light of day anywhere else I thought I might upload it anyway. It's an example of underscore for a film scene that ended up not being used, so there are a few seemingly random 'hit points' that would have made sense if you could see the video that the music was written to accompany. I quite like the way the trombones turned out at the end – reminds me a bit of Sibelius (via Vangelis in Bladerunner.)

Canadian DJs "punk" U.N. Secretary General
The Avengers "owned" the summer, earning a billion and half bucks worldwide. But a Canadian team of Avengers tried to take over, stirring up some shiz last week at the United Nations General Assembly.
Les Justiciers Masques, French for "Masked Avengers," are a group of Canuck radio DJ's known for their prank phone calls.
You might remember their calling Sarah Palin in 2008 pretending to be French President Nicolas Sarkozy inviting her to go hunting. "I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mm, take away a life-- that is so fun," sai9d the fake Frenchie, as Palin giggled. "I'd really love to go as long as we don't bring Vice President Cheney."
The clueless Palin responded, "No, I'll be a careful shot."
This time, the "Masked" men called U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as he was juggling world leaders. One of the DJ's pretended to be Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper who is known for having helmet hair. Mixing French & English, he apologized for not attending, claiming he was too busy combing his hair with Krazy glue. Then he asked the Ki-moon to speak to the hockey league commissioner about getting Quebec a new hockey team.
Okay, so they're no Jerky Boys. At least the five minute prank didn't take Ki-moon away from anything important... like the situation in Syria or instability in Arab & North Africa!
Seriously-- if the Masked Avengers want to goof on Sarah Palin or Celine Dion, they can be our guest.
But when it comes to wasting the time of folks trying to fix the world's problems; how "a-boat" they pack up their tuques and take off, eh?!Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Numerical Weather Forecasting is younger than rock 'n roll!!
Before 1960, the idea that a reasonably accurate two-day weather forecast could be made routinely was a pipe dream – now it's a routine reality. In fact, it was not until just after World War I that a theory concerning the structure, life cycle and precipitation distribution associated with mid-latitude cyclones, the weather systems that bring snow and rain to Madison, was first proposed by a group of Norwegian scientists, led by Vilhelm Bjerknes, an ambitious but professionally frustrated physicist.

A federal warrant for his arrest was issued Friday morning. The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force then tried to arrest him, but Grant locked himself in a room on 117 N 23rd, and claimed he was armed. After four and a half hours, Grant surrendered peacefully."It takes a lot of patience and this obviously the way we would like things to end. We'd like to talk people out when they get backed in to a corner. Have them come out this way instead of forcing a hand and having someone get injured," said Lt. Mark Cady of the Billings Police Department.Grant was taken to the Yellowstone County Detention Facility unharmed. He could face up to 10 years in prison if he is charged with escape.

Podcast: Band Pro's Michael Bravin
To hear the Podcast, push the play button or download here.
Few people have more NAB experience than Band Pro Film and Digital Chief Technology Officer Michael Bravin—he's been attending NAB for over 30 years. During that time, Bravin has witnessed, and participated in, the rise of an entire new industry—the digital cinematography industry that Band Pro specializes in. As he did in 2008, Bravin sat down again this week with me at the Band Pro NAB booth to discuss the state of digital cinematography in 2009, and its role at NAB this year, particularly in light of the current economic downturn and reduced NAB attendance. Bravin has interesting thoughts about what new trends and opportunities will emerge from these conditions that industry-watchers should consider.

LANSING, MI (WKZO) -- They say they are prepared in to handle 10,000 protestors today in Lansing, or about 4 times the number who appeared on Thursday.
State Police Inspector Dean Adamczyk says they shut down the Capitol on Thursday when things got out of hand and they could again. He says they have brought in 150 extra Troopers from around the state to beef up security and closed the streets around the Capitol to make room.
Protestors had better dress warmly because not everyone will be getting inside. The fire marshal has reportedly set the capacity at 2,000. Governor Snyder agreed to Meet with Democratic leaders to discuss the measure. He met with Senator Carl Levin and Cong. John Dingell who both said the Governor was cordial and said he would consider their opinions.
But Snyder says he still plans to sign it, if the legislature approves it.
exactly when he plans to sign it, isn't exactly clear, but he has said it would be before the legislative session ends.

The 3 Ninjas series is about three ninjas who are trained to be ninja-like by their grandfather. The original 3 Ninjas is an 1992 martial arts comedy, directed by Jon Turteltaub. It features Mori Tanaka (Victor Wong), a Japanese grandfather who teaches his American grandsons martial arts. Three of the four films were produced by Shin Sang-ok (as Simon S. Sheen), most known for directing Pulgasari. Yes, it's that guy!Said grandsons are promptly introduced and receive proper codenames. Samuel Douglas Jr. (Michael Treanor), is physically strong, tough, and remains strong and cool under pressure. His codename is "Rocky". Jeffrey Douglas (Max Elliott Slade) is fast and free, "with the spirit of a young wild horse", receiving the codename of "Colt". Michael Douglas (Chad Power) is a Big Eater. His codename is "Tum Tum". The trio must help their grandfather against a rogue student of his, who has turned career criminal: the dangerous Hugo Snyder (Rand Kingsley).The film continues with the boys facing Snyder and his agents, having a rivalry with some school bullies, along with some scenes establishing Rocky's relationship with his first love interest Emily (Kate Sargeant). This results in her being kidnapped by the villains and the trio having to save her.It was a modest box office hit: earning $29,000,301 in the United States market. The film was lucrative enough to receive sequels. Two were produced almost immediately. However, they were curiously released in reverse order. What is to be the intended third film was released second, the second film was released third, causing some internal logic problems.The second film to be released was 3 Ninjas Kick Back (1994). Grandpa Mori plans to visit Japan to return a dagger he has held for 50 years, apparently to serve as a prize in a martial arts tournament. He takes his grandsons with him for what he hopes to be a bonding experience. The boys have grown up somewhat and their different interests have made them drift apart. Rocky is having trouble concentrating on anything other than cute girls, his latest crush being Lisa Di Marino (Maital Sabban). Colt has developed a Hair-Trigger Temper and can be counted to pick up fights left and right. Tum-Tum has become even more obsessed with food. They barely have anything in common anymore. When they discover some one has sent thugs to retrieve the knife and that their grandfather has had a very suspicious accident, they travel to Japan on their own to investigate. There they team-up with a female martial artist, Miyo (Caroline Junko King). She might be young but is even better-trained than them. She even agrees to give them some lessons, in exchange for them tutoring her in baseball. Naturally, amorous Rocky has forgotten all about Lisa, shifting his attention to Miyo. The film was not as financially successful as its predecessor, and critics dismissed the film. However, it earned $11,798,854 in the United States market, the 104th most successful film of its year. It did very well in the VHS market, particularly among younger viewers.The third film is 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up (1995). This time Colt gets a love interest in Jo (Crystle Lightning), a Native American girl whose village comes under threat of becoming a toxic waste dump, due to a Corrupt Corporate Executive. Continuing the decline of the series' commercial value, the third film earned just $413,479 at the box office.A fourth film was released, featuring a new cast of actors in the roles of the Douglas Brothers. 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998). The film starts with the trio failing at a training exercise. Rocky and Colt grew disillusioned with the regimen and thinking they are too old for it. Rocky would rather spend time with his current girlfriend Jennifer (Lindsay Felton) than spending time with grandpa. Soon, the trio team-up with their new friend, computer nerd Amanda Morgan-Greene (Chelsea Earlywine) in order to diffuse a difficult situation. Retiring Action Hero Dave Dragon (Hulk Hogan) becomes the hostage of a group of kidnappers, led by mastermind Medusa (Loni Anderson), along with any other people placed in danger due to her plans. By the end of the film the victorious trio are back to training, with a new appreciation for it, with Amanda joining them as the fourth ninja of the group. The fourth film was a massive flop, earning only $375,805 at the box office.

LiveMid Devon avoids most of the heavy rain and flooding today (January 5)
Enable automatic updates every minute? YES NO
- *More rain and saturated land has lead to more flooding in some parts
- *The public are warned to be wary of coastal areas as gale force winds are predicted
- *Amber flood warnings remain in place for some Devon rivers
DEVON and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service is reminding people to be aware of possible continued flooding later tonight (January 5) and into Monday, as predicted by the Met Office.
The Service is especially asking motorists to heed warnings not to drive through any floodwater, as it could put themselves and others at risk.
Area Manager Alex Hanson said: "It is impossible to tell how deep water is or the condition of the ground beneath. Your vehicle may be swept away or become stranded. Vehicles can float away in just two feet of water.
"If you do see floodwater on the road, do not attempt to drive through it; instead try to find an alternative route.
"If a road has been closed, it is for the safety of the public and closure signs should be respected. This is particularly important as schools and many people return to work on Monday and the pressures this may bring.
"Please take heed of the road closed signs and also be aware that satellite navigation systems will not necessarily alert you of alternative routes that may be flooded.
"Motorists should also be aware of the possibility of tree branches and other debris on the roads due to high winds earlier this weekend."
The Service offers further useful advice which could help prevent accidents during heavy rainfall and flooding:
People should bear in mind the following safety tips:
• Don't walk on sea defences or riverbanks.
• Avoid walking or driving through flood water.
• Keep children and vulnerable people out of floodwater.
• Take care or avoid crossing bridges when water levels are high.
• Take care crossing culverts as they are dangerous when flooded.
• If your vehicle stalls, leave it immediately if safe to do so and seek higher ground.
• Do not travel in heavy rain storms unless absolutely necessary. Keep an eye on weather reports on local television or listen to local radio.
• Do not attempt to walk through flooded areas. Even shallow water moving fast can sweep you off your feet and there may be hidden dangers such as open drains, damaged road surfaces, submerged debris or deep channels; these can cause serious injuries or even death.
• Do not smoke, eat or drink whilst in contact with floodwater and always wash your hands afterwards
• Following a flood in your home, make sure all electrical circuits are fully dried out and checked by an electrical engineer before switching back on can cause serious injuries or even death.
Flood Updates
The Environment Agency has flood warning updates on their web site every 15 minutes, please visit www.environment-agency.gov.uk/flood or ring their floodline 08459 881188 service.
SEND us your flood pictures at firstname.lastname@example.com
RT @Plympolicewco: Wind and rain starting to hit us now. Please take care on the roads, increase your distance, slow down and lights on. #P…— @DC_Police 05 January 2014

POLICE and the Coastguard are still searching for a Devon teenager who went missing from his home in the South Hams during Thursday's storm.
Harry Martin, 18, left his home in Membland, Newton Ferrers, around noon on January 2 and is thought to have been going out to take photographs of the stormy weather.
Harry was last seen walking in the direction of the coastal path near to his home.
Devon and Cornwall Police, the Coastguard and the Plymouth Lifeboat rescue team are conducting extensive searches around the coast and inland in the area. The police helicopter and RNAS Culdrose helicopter are also involved in the search.
His disappearance is described as "out of character" and police are extremely concerned for his welfare.
Anyone who has seen Harry or knows of his whereabouts is urged to contact police immediately.
He is described as 5ft 11ins tall, of slim build with short dark hair, a light beard and blue eyes. He is thought to be wearing pinky-coloured skinny jeans and a grey hooded jumper.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting log number 291 of 030114.
THE Environment Agency says Mid Devon river levels are currently below amber flood alert criteria but the alert remains in place, with more rain expected throughout the day.
The alert is in force for the Rivers Creedy, Creedy Yeo, Little Dart, Lapford Yeo and their tributaries.
An EA spokesman said this morning: "This alert remains in force due to the likely risk of more localised flooding mainly of low lying roads and land. Environment Agency staff will continue to monitor river levels and ensure our schemes are working satisfactorily."
The South Western Ambulance Service is urging people to stay safe by keeping informed.
A spokesman said: "The weather problems are at their peak during the high-tide periods so those in coastal areas should familiarise themselves with the local times and expected impact.
"The changing conditions on the roads is making driving very hazardous.
"The public can be reassured that all emergency, public and health services are working together to continue to provide a safe and effective service to all communities in the South West. However, it is vital that the public think about the most appropriate service for their needs before calling 999.
"Anyone suffering a life-threatening emergency should always call 999. If it is not a life-threatening emergency, we would urge the public to think about using other available healthcare services – NHS111, walk-in-centres, minor injury units, pharmacies etc; please visit the NHS Choices website for further information."
THE Environment Agency currently has 58 amber flood alerts and 27 flood warnings in place for the South West.
River levels of the Rivers Avon, Erme and Harbourne, coastal streams from Bigbury to Dartmouth, and Kingsbridge, South Brent and Ivybridge areas are currently below flood warning criteria - but more rain is forecast later.
The Environment Agency believes this will be centred on Dartmoor and South Devon.
A spokesman said this morning: "Catchments are very wet and river levels are likely to rise again following the rain. This amber flood alert remains in force due to the likely risk of more localised flooding mainly of low lying roads and land. Environment Agency staff will continue to monitor river levels and ensure our schemes are working satisfactorily."

Creepily enough, Wal-Mart is cialis generic australiageneric viagra tablets the largest private user of energy in the world. So they're pretty interested in using less energy, especially when it gets them good publicity at sites like EcoGeek.
Well, they've done it again. At a new store in Las Vegas Wal-Mart has installed advanced, low-energy roof-top fluid coolers. These use the surrounding air to cool water, which is then pumped into pipes below the store's floor. The resulting cooling completely eliminates the united healthcare viagra need for air conditioning and, in Las Vegas, that's a huge amount of a store's energy cost.
One problem though, Las Vegas doesn't really have very much water to spare and, unfortunately, these fluid coolers rely on evaporating away many gallons of hot water to leave the cold water, for cooling, behind.
In hot areas with plenty of water, this seems like it would make a lot of sense. But in Las Vegas, where they're pretty certain that there won't be any water left in ten or twenty years, this might not be the best solution.

Also, just because water is evaporating does not necessarily mean it is an open system and cialis from india tadalafil that it drifts off in the atmosphere. Of course even if it was, it would fall as rain or condense as dew or fog somewhere.
I'm putting a reverse cycle water chiller from UNICO in my new home. When coupled with their high velocity mini-duct system it is supposed to http://www.gallin.fr/viagra-online-cheap be quite an efficient HVAC system.

What sounds new is using chilled water to cool the floors. This technology is probably limited to very dry climates since condensation could form on the cooled floor in more humid climates.
