Kid Icarus: Uprising Review (Nintendo 3DS)
Posted by Joshua Kannegiesser, May 03, 2012 18:45
Whether it is on the top screen or the bottom screen it has been common practice that the Nintendo DS stories play out on one or the other when character dialog is present and both screens sometimes when there is a video playing. Not to mention that almost all games have the story break up the game play. What "Uprising" brings to the table, story and dialog at the same time during game play, even when utilizing the touch screen as part of the controls!
How is this possible? Well, on the bottom screen the characters that are speaking are shown as still shots as they converse. They slide or appear on and off screen as the dialog progresses. During the levels of the game there is almost no time when someone is speaking. Granted, the majority of the dialog is banter between Pit and Palutena with tons of jokes and pop culture references, but the main story progresses in the same manner.
Kid Icarus Graphics
This is Kid Icarus' first game that is venturing into the 3D realm and it is great to see all of its characters getting a well desired makeover. In the original NES game the console's limitations allowed for only a few different character types. Developer's used color changing of the characters to simulate a change in type. This problem has rewarded some of the game's enemies with a complete reimagining to their look.
The game plays smooth and fast with lots of action on screen. The level designs are creative and full of great detail and texturing which adds to the world's environments. "Uprising's" 3D looks fantastic and it adds a depth to the visuals of the levels and action that doesn't hinder the game play.
Kid Icarus Controls
The controls for Kid Icarus: Uprising are by far the biggest let down of the game. They're not completely broken, but could be better described as over ambitious. It seems like the developers tried to add in way too many moves and actions for Pit to perform, almost if they were trying to recreate his move list from the Super Smash Bros: Brawl game. This control problem is highly noticeable during the ground-based levels. One that stands out is using the touch screen to control the camera and the firing reticule at the same time. Rotate the camera with a flicking swipe and move the reticule by leaving the stylus on the screen and moving it. The switch between the two causes a loss of control of either. There is plenty of control customizations in the option menu for controls, but no matter what is chosen something else must be sacrificed.

Off the Beat * Bruce Byfield
The State of Linux Distros In the middle of a discussion about whether the number of Linux distributions was declining, I suddenly realized that I didn't need to rely on my own power of observations.
Caliber: A Battleground for Function Versus Form Because of my experience with graphic design, I like to think that an application's layout matters as much as its design. However, the release last week of calibre 1.0 challenges my outlook.
Choosing Which Fundraisers to Support These days, I can hardly log on to Google+ or Facebook without being bombarded by a dozen fundraising campaigns. Musicians, filmmakers, game makers, authors, charities, free software projects, manufacturers, non-profits, for-profits – everyone seems to be asking for a slice of the crowdfunding pie.

Even with tons of cores per node today, the traditional sets of tools are still serial-only, utilizing a single core; however, some of the more popular tools have parallel versions, allowing you either to use the extra cores to run the same command in parallel or to perform the same task across multiple nodes.

This is excellent! It does not make a lot though, so double or triple for company.

Absolutely fabulous! A favorite on beach vacation or at home. Make a day ahead is a MUST.My family loves this served on lettuce and/or with pita chips
MrsTracy Posted: 06/12/11
Hubby loved it. He doesn't like mayo, so I substituted Ranch dressing and Dijon mustard. I used precooked salad shrimp. Did not have Old Bay, so I used Chef Paul seafood seasoning and lemon pepper. We ate it 1hr after chilling and it was still great. It was a little runny, but I am sure it was b/c I didn't use mayo, but, it really had a great flavor. Can't wait to have leftovers, but, as others have commented, it did not make a whole lot. Will make again. Thank you!!

This is awesome!!! I did add red pepper and garlic.....adding this to our regular menu...thanks for the recipe!

We see in the photo taken from AT&T's weather predictions from FB that tomorrow should be rather hot! Great sense of humor considering how many people are cascading into Mexico at the moment to be front and center for tomorrow's event, or non-event as Wikipedia explains,: "A New Age interpretation of this transition is that the date marks the start of time in which Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 21 December 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era.[8] Others suggest that the date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. Scenarios suggested for the end of the world include the arrival of the next solar maximum, an interaction between Earth and the black hole at the center of the galaxy,[9] or Earth's collision with a planet called Nibiru."
Even NASA has stepped forward to ease everyone's minds as to whether the end of our world would be occurring any time soon, and the answer is no. It's going to be another winter's solstice and your eggnog is safe for another year. So we'll be waiting for your input and ideas on why people are in such a hurry to find doom where there isn't any!
We also morn the passing of a woman who was called friend, advocate, and champion of Appalachia, as well as many other states for environmental issues. Our lives have been made better just by her presents with us and as the world has lost another light, we will miss her warmth. "Earthjustice mourns the passing of the strongest and bravest advocate for clean water and justice that we have ever known, our very own senior legislative counsel Joan Mulhern."

A new study finds that we're getting a majority of our added sugars from foods, not beverages and we're consuming them at home. Dietician Laura Jeffers with the Cleveland Clinic says, "I'm surprised, only because a lot of times we're just assuming that everyone is just drinking all of their calories, but now it's really, maybe they're getting that diet or calorie-free drink but they're now focusing on getting their added sugars from food, which is definitely a shift."
Dieticians say the best thing we can do is when we grocery shop, stick to the perimeter.
That's where we find fruits, veggies, meats and dairy - stores typically keep the processed foods in the middle aisles.

Think Your Kids Aren't Sexting? Think Again!
Everyone's heard about the dangers of sexting -- sending nude pictures and videos over the Internet -- but no one thinks that their kid would be dumb enough to do it. Well, they are, and they do, and it can change their lives forever.
Internet Safety Specialist Lori Getz: Do you remember a time in your life when you would have done anything to get the attention of a boy? Spending hours on your hair and makeup, making sure to stand, dress, giggle, and talk exactly the way you thought he would have wanted you to? Do you remember a time when everything you did and said felt awkward, but if the boy you liked thought it was "rad," then you did, too?
Now imagine you are growing up in 2009 ... where all of these insecurities are caught on camera and your most private moments are uploaded for the world to see. This is what our children face today.
"I thought it was the end of the world," says 15-year-old Emily [all names have been changed to protect teens' identities], as she told me the story of how a naked video of her ended up all over the Internet.
Emily met David at summer camp when she was 13. She was shy and a little insecure about her looks, so she was thrilled when this 16-year-old boy noticed her. They were friendly all summer, but their relationship grew after camp ended. David contacted Emily through MySpace, and she added him on her page. David became more forthright about his feelings for Emily online, calling her "babe" in comments and private messages, and talking about how "hot" she was.
"To me, the word 'babe' is a couples' word," said Emily. She believed his intent was to develop a real relationship. After many online exchanges (but nothing face-to-face, as Emily knew her parents would not approve of her dating an older boy), things got more intense.
"He wanted me to send him a naked video of myself ... I was embarrassed ... I didn't want to do it, so I sent him a picture of my butt.... I thought giving him less than what he really wanted was OK."
After she sent the picture, David began pressuring Emily for more. He said the pictures of her butt made him so horny and he needed to see the rest of her. He talked about how beautiful she was and made her feel very special. Reluctantly, Emily took her family's camcorder, and videotaped herself dancing topless. She then uploaded the video and sent it off to David.
David insisted that he was not receiving the video and talked Emily into resending it through several different applications. Emily used 4 different sites to get the video to David before she finally gave up, thinking it never went through. David seemed angry at the time and stopped messaging Emily for a while.
Months went by and occasionally David would message her through MySpace asking her to hang out. Emily would ignore the messages or just simply decline. Then one day, Emily got a phone call from her best friend.
"You made a porno and you didn't tell me!" said the best friend. Emily had no idea what her friend was talking about. The girl explained that she had opened her Facebook page earlier that day to find a link in her Honesty Box with a message attached: "You think you know your best friend? Your best friend's a slut!"
The link took her to an amateur pornography website where her best friend was dancing topless in front of the camera. Emily was mortified. This was the video she had sent to David.
"My whole high school knew about it," said Emily. "I was stared at, whispered about ... people never would have guessed that I would have done that. But what was really killing me was thinking about what would happen if my parents found out."
Emily jumped every time the phone rang at her house. She was having little panic attacks thinking about the day her parents would discover their perfect daughter was a disappointment. "It was interfering with my life ... I couldn't trust anyone. I had a huge wall up," Emily admitted.
After months of closing herself off from both her family and friends, Emily finally realized she had to tell someone. She first contacted me after her best friend heard me speak at her high school. Emily needed to tell someone, and I was far enough removed from the situation that she thought it would be safe. I finally convinced Emily to talk to her school counselor, who then spoke with her parents (with Emily's permission).
"My mom hugged me," Emily repeated three times as she told me the story. "I expected my parents to be very disappointed, not talk to me, to cry -- maybe they did, but not in front of me. If anything, they were upset that I had tried to protect them instead of them protecting me."
Emily's story is not uncommon. Teens today do not understand the ramifications of Sexting, or Sexcasting. Sexting is sending nude photos via text messages, and Sexcasting is the act of sending nude photos or video via webcasting. No matter what you call it, when children participate in this act, it's child pornography. Some children who have participated in sexting have been prosecuted for the production and distribution of child pornography and are now registered sex offenders.
Other consequences of sexting can range from a few stares and malicious gossip to suicide. At the end of the interview, Emily said to me, "I'm lucky this happened to me in L.A. Everyone is so caught up in their own stuff, no one really gave me that hard of a time about it. Did you hear about the girl at Syracuse?" Emily was referring to Jessica Logan, originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, who was attending college at Syracuse. While in high school, Jessica had sent nude photos of herself to her boyfriend that were then circulated around her high school. After returning home from college for a friends' funeral, the pressure became too much and Jessica hung herself in her parents' home.
When I asked Emily why she sent the video in the first place, she stopped and thought for a moment. "I don't know really," she said. "He kept telling me how hot I was. Sometimes he talked about what we would do if we were actually together. I wasn't ready for that. I thought this would satisfy him."
Today, after talking to a counselor and her friends about what happened to her, Emily feels a sense of obligation to let other girls know how important it is to think before you send. "I had to stop blaming myself in order to face what I did," she says. "I made a mistake and the worst part was trying to keep a secret that everyone already knew about. I was manipulated. He could have fooled anyone."
I asked Emily what she thought could be done to help other young people from falling into the same trap.
"It's an issue that needs to be talked about as soon as middle school," she says. "And our parents don't understand. They are so overwhelmed with the technology, so they just don't talk about it. We're given condoms in health class and told how to use them, but no one talks about this. Do we have to make the mistake in order to learn about it?"
Emily and her parents contacted the local police department and they worked diligently to remove as much of the video as they could find. The case against David as the distributor of child pornography is still open. Emily has found comfort in the fact that she no longer needs to keep this from her parents. She is now focusing on her poetry, painting, drawing, and running track.

I am a nudist & I find it shocking that simply a photo of my lifestyle could land me in jail, esp. since America is the "land of the free".
I'm a morally upright person & not a sex offender because of my lifestyle.
There are MILLIONS of nudists & we are not out raping kids or anything like that.
It is no surprise America has the world's HIGHEST prison population.
Before Christians arrived in America the native women were topfree.
In Africa some tribes have been naked for thousands of years.
Europe is also more relaxed about it (less Christians).
My lifestyle is no reason to put me in jail with thieves, rapists, & murderers.
Nudity is not sex!
As for the girl who hung herself, just remember every 40 seconds is a suicide.
My 13 yr old son begged me for picture mail and video mail on his cell phone but I won't let him have it. When we got him the cell phone it was under the agreement that I could check it every now and then without notice and I can tell you first hand some of the text msgs that he get from girls his age are full of sexual theme. One message from a girl in his church class (of all places)asked him if he wanted to make out and said that she gives the best blow jobs! Another message from another girl said "hey baby, you're so cute - I would let you do anything with me that you wanted to" I think today the young girls are much more aggressive than the boys are! If I see these messages before he gets a chance to then I'll delete them.
Jessica Logan didn't go to Syracuse…
I don't agree that everyone is sexting. My parents monitor my cell phone and computer like crazy so if I did send or receive something inappropriate they would know and take away my cell phone. But I also think it's pretty cool that they trust me so much and I really don't want to ruin that. I have friends who will never get their cell phone back because they were caught sexting. I just think that the best way to keep kids from sexting is to have lots of involvement from parents. My mom and I came across this great website one day, it helped us alot, if you want check it out www.justsayyes.org
Unfortunately, these terrible events are becoming more and more common place because parents are unaware of the dangers online and or refuse to check their children's cell phone.
My husband and I have two lovely young girls and we are doing everything we can to protect and educated them about online and other technology dangers i.e., cell phones.
A friend of ours told us about a website, www.guardchild.com, that is essentially a on-stop site for parents to learn about the dangers online, educated themselves and their children as well as purchase parental control software.
If parents don't recognize how technology has become a part of our lives and educated their kids - then they run the risk of their children becoming victims like Emily.
REALLY, Katherine? As a 17-year-old christian male, I think that I would have more sense than you ever would. Imagine putting naked pictures of yourself for guys like me to lust over, wishing they could use your body. Now, you think that CHRISTIANS are the one responsible for this? YOU could cause a man heavily into your nudity to view a young girl across the street as an object of pure pleasure. Nudity gravitates toward sex. Now, how many other guys my age out there would say that? It's because I am an educated person who knows my facts before I post. Did you know that there was nudity in the BIBLE? It's because it wasn't sold to people who viewed it as sick entertainment. Many men out there who are in volved in pornography have a VERY high risk of being a rapist.

I owe an apology to Katherine for posting that when it was SUSPOSED to go to the first comment(twice). I guess I got upset about how blind faith degrades moral values.
I need to apoligize tho Katherine when this was supsoed to go to the first comment. I guess I got upset on how blind faith degrades moral values, which is why we have laws because of our Judeo-Christain beliefs

Ladies generally speaking usually are not trying to shed enormous levels of weight for the most part. The majority of the women and men utilizing phen375 are just trying to shed A few to 25 pounds on average and also typically the abdominal fat. Nearly all are wholesome, go to the fitness center sort folks. They simply haven't been capable of lose fat deposits on their own tummy or have reached the Plato. Stomach fat issues usually begin to happen for ladies at about the time of or even after child birth as well as later within age group before being menopausal. It seems like to hit ladies whilst there hormone levels are transforming; it's an ordinary means of lifestyle or perhaps is that?

Student Interpretation → Jessica van Buren
Ndebele Beadwork
The Southern Ndebele people represent a rich culture of South Africa, usually known for their mural work, here are recognized for their beadwork. Typical geometric symbols and shapes make up the design of the object, comprised of many colored beads bound together with both manmade and natural thread. A metal chainmail integrated in the middle of the piece indicates its 20th century design. Most likely worn for a girls coming out ceremony, the elaborate quality of the beadwork shows the importance of the event among Ndebele culture.
Gala Blanket (nguba)

Gala Blanket (nguba)
c. 1960
Commercial blanket, fiber, glass beads
Gift of William D. and Norma Canelas Roth
In the early to mid-20th century, England exported wool blankets manufactured by the Middleburg Company to South Africa. The multi-colored striped blankets became a favorite of Ndebele women who enhanced them with large horizontal beaded panels. Popularly named "Middleburg blankets," or by their vernacular name, irari or nguba, the blankets replaced older skin capes worn on festive occasions such as weddings and initiations. Pink and red striped blankets covered with beadwork are identified as nguba, and were preferred for gala events. The dark beadwork panels have motifs suggesting modern homes with staircases, windows, and electric lights. The lavish use of imported glass seed beads also demonstrates the wealth of the owner.

Baker County- All 387 acres of Fergus Davidson's property in Baker County used to look like this with underbrush beneath the pines.
But now the property is clear under the timber crop. That's part of Davidson's land management plan. Now he and his son are the 201st outstanding forest stewards in Georgia.
"It's a valuable tool and so far it's been working out well," said Fergus Davidson III.
Having a long range plan helps owners manage the land for many uses including wildlife management and recreation.
"Once you get a plan, then you also qualify for a cost sharing assistance to help the land-owner implement those objectives that he owns the land for," said Chuck Norvell with the Georgia Foresty Commission in Albany.
You don't have to own hundreds or thousands or acres to have a land management plan. Anyone who owns at least 10 acres can participate. Whatever the owner wants to use the land for, the point is to preserve privately-owned land.
"To be good stewards of the land for future generations," Norvell said.
It's taken a lot of hard work by the Davidson's.
"For right now we're not using any chemical treatments so it also helps in the environment, but it's a good thing to manage your property correctly," Davidson said.
They know it will be worth it in the future.

"Hendo" is a training partner of Chael and won't count him out until the bitter end. "Everyone thinks Jon Jones is gonna walk through him but I think Chael definitely has a good shot at beat...

Bad judgment: On honoring Franklin Pierce
Winning the presidency certainly is a notable accomplishment. But it is what one does with that office that determines whether honors and glory are later justified.
Franklin Pierce started his political career promisingly enough. He developed an affection for John Locke and Andrew Jackson and was bold enough to volunteer for military service in the Mexican War (during which he twice fainted after being injured by his own horse).
Alas, Pierce was no Jackson or James K. Polk. Elected to the U.S. Senate, he resigned after the Whigs won a majority. Chosen as the Democratic nominee for President by party stalwarts in the proverbial "smoke-filled room," he won the White House on the popularity of the party Andrew Jackson had built. Once in office, he quickly unraveled Jackson's legacy.
Jackson was the most fervent of unionists. Though a Tennessean and a slave owner, he despised the hare-brained doctrines of secession and nullification and saved the Republic in the 1830s by making clear that he was willing to go to war to preserve it. Pierce fell in with the wrong factions in the Democratic Party and became both tool and spokesman for noxious "states' rights" arguments Jackson found appalling. His mishandling of the slavery question and national expansion reignited dormant embers, the flames of which later engulfed the nation.
Noting Pierce's role as a willing pawn of slavery interests, the House Executive Departments and Administration Committee has voted - unanimously - against HB 576, saying it "was unwilling to perpetually honor such a person." Those words might have been more biting had the authors encountered Pierce's criticism of Abraham Lincoln, made July 4, 1863, the day after Gettysburg: "How futile are all our efforts to maintain the Union by force of arms."
The man who would have dismantled the Union to avoid war has a statue and portrait at the State House and a highway named after him. Let the state give him no further honors.

In my last post, I looked at the importance of product to a startup's success. A good product give it a shot at building a business. A bad product is, well, just bad.
For startups with a product that addresses a problem or makes life more efficient, productive, profitable, et al, one of the crucial elements is having the one-two punch of user-friendly design and an easy, intuitive user experience.
Good design and UX makes a startup's product accessible to users. It drives people down the sales funnel, delivers a delightful experience and encourages people to share their discovery. It seems so straightforward but many startups drop the ball on both counts.
So what is good design it's a subjective topic?
To me, it is a clean and simple look and feel. Accompanied by well-articulated messaging, it is a snap for people to understand what a startup does, why they would be interested and, as important, how they would begin to get into the product.
Weaved within beautiful design is the user experience that makes it easy for a customer to embrace a product without doing much work.
Great UX makes things easy to do. It provides a Website with flow, making each step along the way (be it registration, downloading, e-commerce), a no-brainer. It makes people do things without them thinking they are doing any work.
So how do startups discover good design and UX?
In a recent blog post, Braden Kowitz, a partner with Google Ventures, talked about how startups can improve the design and UX process by creating "stories" around how someone would use a Website.
He said startups should uses whiteboards to create multi-part stories that show the different steps and decisions a user would make when trying to complete a specific task. The strength of this approach, he said, it does the following:
1. It simulates the user experience
2. Team spot problems earlier
3. It clarifies design goals up-front.
When you think about it, every startup should be creating user "stories" to improve its design and UX. By creating the actual scenarios a customer would experience, it is easier to meet their needs and goals.
The big challenge many startups encounter with design and UX is they don't take a customer-centric view of the world. Instead, they are focused on telling potential customers what they offer rather than what a potential customers wants to know or do.
It is a slightly different look through the lens but it makes a dramatic difference.
By thinking about how customers behave and what they want to achieve, a startup can quickly and easily improve its design and UX. Of course, it helps to do testing to validate approaches and ideas but starting with what the customer wants is a great way to do better work faster.
Links: For more good insight into Website design, check out this blog post by John Siebert on the "Art of Designing User Driven Websites".
Note: While I'm not a design or UX person, I consider both to be integral parts of startup marketing because they play an essential role in engaging consumers.

He was an all-action Sherlock Holmes for TV and now he's conquering Hollywood in Star Trek. Caitlin Moran joins the actor at his parents' home for Sunday lunch
I don't know if you remember, but some time last summer – between the end of the Olympics and the return of The X Factor – it briefly became the thing to have a go at Benedict Cumberbatch for being "a posho".
However many times Cumberbatch tried to explain that he was "just middle class, really", a sum kept being done, over and over: "Harrow education" + "called 'Benedict Cumberbatch' " = "A man who wipes his bum on castles". There was a series of catty columns about it, with headlines like "Posh off to America" and "Poor posh boy".
The underlying presumption seemed to be that Cumberbatch was some dilettante princeling – stealing roles such as Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock, and the painfully repressed landowner Christopher Tietjens in Tom Stoppard's Parade's End, that would otherwise have gone to working-class actors such as Danny Dyer, or Shane Richie from EastEnders, and that this was all a great pity.
Of course, as with all these things, it blew over quite quickly – not least because it was superseded by the news that Cumberbatch had been cast in the new Star Trek movie, and was, therefore, about to become one of the most successful British actors of the past ten years. But I am reminded of it all today, in the back of a cab, leafing through a pile of cuttings on Cumberbatch.
"What a load of balls that was," I muse. "The whole posh thing. What a load of old balls. What a funny old world."
It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and I have been invited to lunch with Cumberbatch at his parents' house in Gloucestershire. Star Trek Into Darkness is now about to open and this is the only day he has free to talk. I have made the great sacrifice and taken a train to Swindon.
The cab driver drops me outside the house.
"Here you go," he says.
I climb out of the car, and stare at a gigantic, honey-coloured mansion, with immaculately tended lawns. Parked in the driveway are a black London taxi and a vintage silver Rolls-Royce.
Last night, Benedict had offered to pick me up from the station, saying he has a "loooooooooovely car".
"Yes – you have, haven't you, Benedict?" I think to myself, staring. "You've got a lovely pair."
I crunch up the drive, carrying a massive bunch of flowers and a bottle of wine, and shout through the letter box.
"Hello! I'm from London! I've come on holiday, to the countryside, by accident!"
Silence. I circle the house. The place is so big, I can't work out where the front door is.
I decide to go to ask a neighbour for advice on how to penetrate the Cumberbatch estate.
I head towards a nearby crofter's cottage.
Benedict Cumberbatch is standing in the doorway of the tiny cottage, in a pair of knackered navy corduroy slippers, watching my progress across the lawn – lavishly strewn with hyacinths – with some curiosity.
"What were you doing at Kate Moss's house?" he asks, mildly.
Ah. Kate Moss. The working-class girl from Croydon made good. That mansion is her house.
The "posh" Cumberbatches, by way of contrast, live next door: three small rooms downstairs, three small rooms upstairs. Every available surface is covered in books, family photographs or owls.
- "That is a picture of my mother kissing my arse," he confirms.
- Here's what it's like interviewing Benedict Cumberbatch: a bit like interviewing a waterfall. It won't really answer any of your questions, but it's fabulous to watch. It's not that it's trying to ignore or avoid your questions – God, no. It is endlessly, eagerly forthcoming, and shows a touching courtesy towards the whole notion of being interviewed. It will tell you a story about being stung on the penis by a sea anemone in the same breath as discussing the panic of entering the library at Harrow for the first time: "Because I thought, I probably won't have a lifetime long enough to read the first shelf – let alone the first room, let alone the whole f***ing library. I've always been after the idea of betterment – to know exactly everything about that wine, and tell you about the birdsong I can hear, and to understand the world around me."
- "I was a kid until I was 18, really. But the one grace of an all-boys boarding school is that you could lie about what you'd done on your holidays. Not like a mixed school, where you had to parade your girlfriend around the playground. I was a bit Hugh Grant around women. 'Good gosh, er, do you mind if I, erm, touch, ah, it? Gosh, I feel funny now.'
- "S***. S***. It's already half-past chaffinch. If we get to barn owl, I am never getting to Bristol tonight."
- "It's not even politeness. I won't allow you to be my bitches. I think it sets feminism back so many notches. You are… Cumberpeople."
- "I'm going to become… non-verbal now," he says, owlishly. He oils onto the dancefloor, and busts a move to a series of Eighties gay anthems, right under the glitterball.
- "All the things we didn't talk about!" he lamented. "The Simpsons, New York at new year, Iceland… I've seen and swam and climbed and lived and driven and filmed. Should it all end tomorrow, I can definitely say there would be no regrets. I am very lucky, and I know it. I really have lived 5,000 times over."
And bonus Wanda Ventham:
- his mother comes upstairs, and interrupts in the way that is the birthright of all mothers. She addresses me with some urgency: "Can you just… find him a bird?" she asks. "You must be able to find him a bird. There must be someone in London who's suitable. I want grandchildren. Please – find my son a bird."
I love everything this Twitter conversation chooses to be.
Also? NEW Caitlin/Ben interview. I eagerly await this awesomeness, if only to find out if she coins anymore fantastic phrases like "jaguar in a cello". Plus I want to know more about this Haggan Dasz tale…
One of the reasons I'm in love with Caitlin Moran, who writes Celebrity Watch~
Benedict Cumberbatch is very beautiful. He did break my heart when I interviewed him though. He's brilliant to get on with and I really liked him as a person but 90 per cent of the reason that I fancy him - and the part that died a bit - was when he said he hated his hair as Sherlock Holmes. He thought they made him look like a girl and he preferred being blondey ginger. I want him to fancy himself as Sherlock but he's too modest and lovely for that.

I love you Caitlin.
"it should look like it's borrowed from the man in your life," Vogue explained, over shots of tweedy, boyish, single-breasted numbers.
This of course, would be fine if the man in your life is Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock, who rarely has less than a grand's worth of hot and alluring tailoring hanging on the peg by the front door. Were I to wear a coat borrowed from the man in my life, however, I'd be pitching up to smart dinners in a bright yellow pac-a-mac, decorated with one of Thomas Yorke's trademark of a sad, abused panda.

A remote beach break known as 'Boneyards' hosted some of the countries best riders vying for the chance to claim the 2009 EBB Pro Title. The 15 minute walk from the closest carpark did little to dampen the spirits of competitors who were blessed with perfect 3-4 feet (2.0 – 2.5m) waves which were fast, hollow and absolutely suited to bodyboarding.
"The guys really lifted for the occasion, with some insane tubes and massive boosts." Commented event head judge Nathan Duccase who had the hard task of determining the overall winners. "All the guys were surfing so well that any of them could have won today. The level was so high because competitors were pushing each other to go deeper or bigger." He commented.
The earlier quarter final heats were highlighted by the performances of Jake Stone (QLD), Tim Fowler (WA), Phillip Windsor (WA), Jones Russell (NSW), Mitch Woodland (NSW), Cade Sharp (QLD) and Corey McLean (QLD) who adapted to conditions best and scored the morning's highest heat scores with ease. But it was Joe Clarke (QLD) that set the tempo early posting a near perfect 18.86 from a possible 20. This included two scores of 9.93 and 8.93 to go into the semi finals as an early favourite.
"The waves were so good out there, you can get a sick pit on the take off then it just throws these sections up that have to go big on." Said Clarke after his heat.
The semi finals were an allstar affair with the big names of the event set to battle it out with a few lesser know WA boys. Semi one saw Jake Stone continue his winning ways with another heat that saw him score highly. Stone scored 16.27 which included two eight point plus rides, however it was Tim Fowler that stole the show in semi one with one of the waves of the event. Fowler was rewarded with a 9.50 from a possible 10 for tube that seemed to last for at least 8 seconds and a pull a massive ARS to the delight of the crowds on the beach.
"I couldn't believe it when I popped out, it seemed like I was in there forever." Said Fowler.

The final day of the 2009 SCION Jenks Pro was filled with action from the Amateur and Women's divisions. John Mangini and Rob Mac from New Jersey were the clear standouts in the Open AM division. In the 13-17 division it was James Joyce from North Carolina that was a huge head turner, with clean stylish rolls and some in and out barrels. Hunter Fedden from California was on James's toes with smooth combos and ended up in second place.
Next up was the SCION invitee Air Show where Jeff Hubbard (Hawaii), Jason Bitzer (NJ), Jacob Romero (Hawaii). Shea Silvia (Hawaii) and Matt Withaar (Australia) put on a display for the crowd. It was Jeff Hubbard's back flip to invert that earned him bragging rights to the Air Show division.
The Women's Final hit the water with the top two girls in the USA, Roberta Bitzer and Luz Marie Grande Parez who were battling it out in a Women on Women 30 min final. Luz struck first with a big roll and Roberta answered back with a Roll to spin. Both girls found a back up wave to gain there two scores. In the last 5 minutes Roberta was able to find a clean section that she rolled and landed, also going for a second roll scoring 8 points to take the lead and the win.
The awards at The 2009 SCION Jenks Pro had an amazing show of support by the Jenks Beach Patrons and all walked away with a gift bag from SCION and Ocean Current Clothing. The USBA Announced it's tour Champions at the Jenks Pro and we want to congratulate Jeff Hubbard- Mens Pro Champ, Luz Grande Pares- Women's Pro Champ and Drop Knee Pro Champ- Brian Stroeh.

Kids are Leaders Now!
It is critical that adults learn to support kids like Adora to BE all that they can BE. As adults, learning life coaching skills like those taught through the International Coach Federation accredited Kids Coaching Connection program will help with encouraging kids like Adora to shine their lights and help make the world a better place for all.
What other programs are out there that focus on supporting adults in learning how to BE with kids more positively and powerfully?

Jan 19 2012: This is a ver good topic, and especially important for kids these days, but let me say that adults can use a significant amount of life coaching as well. The "coaching" field in a variety of areas is a growing profession. Ive heard it said that we could all gain some benefit from a year's worth of therapy. Well, along those lines I believe all of us can also benefit from a little coaching from a qualified individual. It's not psychotherapy...it's real coaching. It's about where we go from here, NOW, without the burdensome past dragging us.
Good topic. Cheers.

Not telling me what winds await ahead –
dead calm, strong gale, dry hot or boreas.
As the entire world the only truth as old –
last breeze of mine shall fan the deadly face.

This review is from: BenQ BL2710PT Black 27" 4ms (GtG) WQHD AHVA-panel Height&Pivot adjustable Widescreen LCD Monitor 350 cd/m2 1000:1 Built-in Speakers
Pros: I use this monitor for engineering, CAD/CAM, and general computer use. My video card is an Nvidia GeForce GTX560Ti at 2560x1440, 60 Hz refresh, and 32-bit color. The definition is perfect, with not a single stuck pixel. Brightness, contrast, and saturation are excellent, and I don't see any backlight bleed or brightness variation across the screen.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Be sure to use a good quality dual-link DVI cable, or you can deteriorate the signal from your graphics card.

Snooki Is Counter-Sued!
Ugh! Their nerve!
And around the holidays!
SRG Ventures has slapped our heart's desire, Snooki, with a $7 million counterclaim against her suit, which she and her management company, Neon Entertainment, filed in October, to end her contract – for the Jersey Shore star's merchandise – with them after alleging they did not fulfill their obligations to earn her money and branding partnerships!
According to their claims, Snooks sabatoged the deal by negotiating with other brands, and not following up on opportunities, such as school supplies, watches, and lingerie!
Her rep refutes:
"Ms. Polizzi disputes SRG's version of the facts and looks forward to her day in court."
As do we! No doubt she is COMING FOR THAT ASS.
Tear 'em up, gurl!

Uranium Resources is a microcap stock that "engages in the acquisition, exploration, development, and mining of uranium properties, using the in situ recovery mining process. It owns developed and undeveloped uranium properties in South Texas; and undeveloped uranium properties in New Mexico.

Comparing the charts of both companies, when USEC moved sharply to the upside, Uranium Resources did the same. There is no news being reported regarding Uranium Resources.

Storyline: Back to their ships the frighted host had fled ; But Nestor spoke, they listen'd and obey'd (From old experience Nestor's counsel springs. And long vicissitudes of human things) : ' Forbear your flight : fair Thetis from the main To mourn Achilles leads her azure train.' Around thee stand the daughters of the deep, Robe thee in heavenly vests, and round thee weep : Round thee, the Muses, with alternate strain, In ever-consecrating verse, complain. Each warlike Greek the moving music hears, And iron-hearted heroes melt in tears. Till seventeen nights and seventeen days return'd All that was mortal or immortal mourn'd. To flames we gave thee, the succeeding day. And fatted sheep and sable oxen slay ; With oils and honey blazed the augmented fires,

O Cantilever! My Cantilever! We bid you farewell …

Frozen in time: A tribute to Camp Mather
The newsroom is a hardened environment, full of gallow's humor and remarkably free of mourning — sometimes when there's a pretty good reason to mourn.
