"I don't want everyone to vote. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."

"Now many of our Christians have what I call the "goo goo" syndrome. Good Government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people. They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."
Paul Weyrich Founder of ALEC
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) was founded in 1973 by Paul Weyrich, who helped build a nationwide right-wing political infrastructure following the reelection of Richard Nixon. In the same year, he helped establish the Heritage Foundation, now one of the most prominent right-wing policy institutes in the country. One year later, Weyrich founded the Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress, the predecessor of the Free Congress Foundation. In 1979, he co-founded and coined the Moral Majority with Jerry Falwell, and in 1981 he helped establish the ultraconservative Council on National Policy.
ALEC's major funders include Exxon Mobil, the Scaife family (Allegheny Foundation and the Scaife Family Foundation), the Coors family (Castle Rock Foundation), Charles Koch (Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation and the Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation), the Bradley family (The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation) and the Olin family (John M. Olin Foundation). These organizations consistently finance right-wing think tanks and political groups.
Members of ALEC's board represent major corporations such as Altria, AT&T, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Koch Industries, Kraft, PhRMA, Wal-Mart, Peabody Energy, and State Farm. Such corporations represent just a fraction of ALEC's approximately three hundred corporate partners. According to the American Association for Justice, over eighty percent of ALEC's finances come from corporate contributions.
Question for you: If this is the principle of the Founder of ALEC who has written template voter ID laws for Republican controlled state governments, is it not the next logical step that these Voter ID laws are an organic extension to do exactly what Paul Weyrich wants, which is to supress the vote of people he thinks shouldn't have that constitutional right?

The Tea Party was un-willing to connect the dots but the OWS Protestors did
History is/has been a good gauge of how government power has always been concentrated and co-opted to the top by a few. It's a narrative that is repeated throughout history and is nothing new even for a Democratic Republic such as ours.
The Tea Party has been solely concerned with the power and size of government and from taxes to regulations, which sadly seems to be the only thing that they connect with Personal (singular) liberty in our nation. Now, Barak Obama and their hatred of liberals have made it easy for them to vent this but it has come at a price and ignores the rest of the story about what has happened in our country.
They connected the dots half way and then they stopped because to go much farther they would have to get out of their safety zone regarding the purpose and size of Private Enterprise and Corporations and the wealthy that they champion by default. To go any further would make them ask questions and seek answers they do not and will not, no matter how much you spin it, fit their world view.
OWS completes the picture:
Big Government with the collusion of few Mega multi-national Corporations and the immensely wealthy together have usurped the power of the majority of people in our country.
Yes, it's a what came first argument "the chicken or the egg", but regardless the rooster is crowing and a solution to this problem is not a simple answer such as "make government smaller" or "destroy corporations".
It is obvious that the balance of power has titled to the few and there is no better evidence to what is written in the tax code were money made from investment is counted at 15% which is used as household income by them, while income derived from real work such as landscaping is taxed at 26%. There is no way this unfairness could be sustained without government enforcing it. This is unfair to middle class tea party people and that is why I find it so hard to understand while they defend and champion multi-national corporate America which fleeces them as much as any liberal like myself.
Front Page Stories on the Journal Sentinel more or less proves my point:
URL: http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/legislators-worked-with-gogebic-taconite-on-mining-bill-593fk2n-135902053.html
URL: http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/gableman-voted-with-law-firm-after-receiving-free-legal-services-o53gc01-135904063.html
I find it troubling the Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) a private business lobbying group has so much sway over politicians (most on the right) and judges (Gableman and Zeigler) they prefer we elect by pumping millions into the election cycle; in both judicial rulings and writing legislation, An unholy alliance of which ALEC has codified and incorporated many WI politicians one of which is Robin Vos. Once we could look at WEAC as a counter balance to WMC, but Walker has crushed them so WMC is free to do what it wants.
Don't think for a second the WMC is looking out for you or what they want politicians to do will benefit you. They are there to benefit their members of which most of us are not. WMC's values do not and will never benefit a typical middle class or working class Wisconsinite.
Also look for information about Congressional insider trading it is an excellent example. URL: http://www.economist.com/node/21541434
The other thing that is important to remember is that when large Government, large Corporations and the immensely wealthy come together they have usurped the power of the majority of people in our country and it also stifles private enterprise and innovation because these forces use their power to fix the system to benefit them. Sure it's raw capitalism to crush your economic opponent, but it should not exist in our democratic republic, which should be the moderating force to stop the playground bullies.
Corporations still don't have the right to vote, nor do wealthy people have their votes weighted more than the rest of us, when big Government colludes with big private enterprise to fix the system, funnel our tax dollars into corporate welfare for themselves, or fix the tax code to benefit themselves at the expense of the rest of us, then our votes lose their meaning and the constitution is not worth the parchment it is written on.

Thanks for the Crutches!
A man in his mid-forties with two broken legs in casts is sitting on a metal folding chair.
There are no crutches or wheelchairs near him and it is obvious he can't move anywhere.
The man who deliberately broke his legs is in a suit and walks up to him with a consoling and sorry look on his face; the man thinks back to the immense iron wrench that was used to smash both his femur's causing immense pain and even more painful medical bills which he cannot afford and will probably bankrupt him, since the Gov. stopped work on the healthcare reforms mandated by law and changed the Badger-care requirements, he really had no choices other than to go bankrupt, buying insurance in the "Free" market was just to expensive.

Did you see that pro-Scott Walker TV ad financed by at least ½ of out of state money from pro-corporate anti-tax the rich special interests groups?
The Koch brothers come to mind. There the left wing's uber-rich uber -wealthy boogey-men who have their tentacles in creating the democratic voter suppressing ALEC, Created the Heritage Foundation, fund the CATO institute, AFP, frequently have Scalia and Thomas over to do their SCOTUS bidding on the high court, etc… To bad they are not real boogey-men, it would have been better if they were a myth.
Anyway you know the Ad:
In the soup kitchen His wife Tonette does the talking.
"The holidays are a time for us to give thanks — and to reach out to those who are struggling. It's a tough time for many families. But in Wisconsin, we have a long tradition of helping our neighbors. We're grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of Wisconsin.
In the Living room
"In this season of peace, our hope is that we can put our differences aside, and move forward together."
URL: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/12/walkers-holiday-ad-lets-put-our-differences-aside.php
I like how his wife Tonette is appealing for us all, Supporter and Opponent, alike to bury the hatchet with her Husband and start over and work together to put our differences aside, while her hard working husband serves food to poor boys and girls who can't wait to get on welfare, non-producing working age men and women happy to be poor, and lazy grandmothers and grandfathers who suck off the social welfare system and have taught their children how to do it even better. And then the family going back to their all so middle class existence in the living room asking for us to work together with her husband.
As if Scott Walker's actions and his Republican henchman actions didn't happen at all, and in the spirit of the season we need to forgive and forget and TRUST that Walker and his collaborators have found the olive branch and want to move together in bipartisanship.
- As If when the public unions capitulated on all his financial demands, in the spirit of compromise, Walker cut their throats, with the goal of destroying public unions, to cut off funding to his democratic rivals. It must have never happened.
- As if he and his pals never took 1.6 billion of education aid away from public schools and the tech college system, without compromise without discussion from opponents and summarily dictated to the rest of us what is going to happen without any of the stakeholders buy in, but merely to fulfill their rightwing agenda and give the money away to charter schools, in a naked attempt to destroy public education.
- As if the most suppressive Voter ID law was never passed that targets likely democratic voters: Students, Minorities, The poor, and the Elderly with hidden poll taxes, and attempt to suppress the vote of people who would vote against him.
- As if he didn't sign a Redistricting bill that concentrates Latino and Black minorities and disenfranchises 300,000 people from voting for six years.
Just like "It's a Wonderful Life" when Clarence Thomas granted Mr Potters Wish to see how life would be without him. And with a snap it never happened and he an Clarence lived happily ever after..
The fact that he never lifted that olive branch in the past year, never included his opponents in discussion, and merely dictated his will, he want US to begin again, set the differences he and his cronies created and move forward?
But Back to the Ad.
We all know the Scott Walker thinks the poor should pull themselves up by their boot straps, regardless if they had any straps or boots. That government has no business to help those less fortunate to try to lift themselves out of being poor and only private money should go to help the poor (If this were fact then the wealthy in this country should have been able to solve the problem of "being" poor when the Bush tax cuts were enacted.)
I find the ad ironic and not warm or fuzzy at all. It's more like a slap in the face to the poor in this state.
- - - - - - - - -
The man in the suit is carrying a pair of crutches in his left hand and puts his right hand out so the man in the casts can shake it and says, "I am really sorry I had to brake your legs, but I had to do what was best and what I was hired to do and that was to hinder your mobility, we just can't have you moving that fast." The man in the suit pauses, "So to make up for what I had to do, I purchased and in person brought you some crutches since you know we had to stop funding to hospitals to give away free taxpayer funded crutches, when that taxpayer money could be used to create jobs." Pauses again and He continues sighing, "In the future you will see it was for the best."
"C'mon let's bury the hatchet, let's start over."
The man with the broken legs sat bewildered not sure what he was hearing and asked, "What about all the other legs of all the other people you had to break?"
The man in the suit, always with a smooth answer replied, "I am sure my other wealthy supporters will buy them crutches as well, "with a widening grin. "We are very generous people."
"Are you sure?" The man with the broken legs asks.
He does not answer and pushes the crutches out even further for Man to take them.
The broken leg man reaches out with hand open and then stops…"So let me get this straight. After breaking my legs and removing funding for free crutches you come down with a pair of crutches you paid for and want me to forgive you and start over fresh."
- - - - -- - -
Walker has cut tax credits for the poor by lowering the amount that the can get with the earned income tax credit and the homestead tax. "Under Walker's plan, the earned income tax credit would be reduced by more than $20 million a year - a reduction of more than 15% when compared with the $129.2 million paid out in the last fiscal year. URL: http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/117501518.html Remember this is at the same time he did this, "reducing the tax credit because it is included in a budget that would roll back taxes on corporations and gives a new tax break on capital gains for those who invest in Wisconsin businesses."
I wonder why the reversal of wanting to feed poor kids, I mean he also removed the painting of minority children from Milwaukee from the Gov's Mansion. Why go see them at the WMCS Christmas Bash? Who even know's if the soup kitchen in the ad was even real, Maybe Clarence Thomas was in on it, the official conservative angel of this story?
Why go and feed them then, why put yourself in the same place with the people your policies will make suffer? He is making it harder for poor families to feed and support their own children, then why this fake compassion if that is what your polices are doing!
I mean we know he hates using government to help these people and appeals to conservatives that see the poor and working poor as inferior human beings who do not deserve the human dignity they themselves enjoy, maybe it's because they are likely democratic voters? If they were likely conservative voter poor, maybe they would care?
The argument from conservatives is that people who have a hard time finding enough food to feed their families need to give their fair share so they have a stake like the rest of us, that they contribute to the common good, etc…, and this is the argument from the right (sounds socialist to me) wanting all Americans to contribute to the common good and tax base.
The 6 heirs to the Walton (Wal-Mart) fortune have more wealth than the bottom 30% of Americans, and all they did to have to get it was to be the Children of Sam Walton. URL: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/money_co/2011/12/six-walmart-heirs-wealthier-than-bottom-30-percent.html
Half of all Americans have fallen into poverty. URL: http://www.npr.org/2011/12/15/143770049/census-1-in-2-americans-are-poor-or-low-income
What about those Americans who continue to profit at a compounded rate (the rich), while the rest of us are falling behind and have only seen are income rise 2.1 % since 1979. URL: http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=957
Here's the Take Away Folks:
If conservatives want the poorest among us who are getting poorer to pay more in taxes for the little they make to contribute to our state and nation, then logically it follows that the Americans who have had their income and Wealth exponentially rise should have their taxes raised to contribute as well.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
"Yes you got it." The suited man replies.
"And I bet, you want me to thank you for the crutches?"
"Yes, "He answers, "Who else would you thank for helping you?"

Whatever. Raige mumbles something about transforming my EBIL into an entity that, while also immortal and invincible, is harmless. Her suggestion for that immortal, invincible, and harmless object? A tree. A TREE, goddammit. What. The Fuck. EVER! Raige wings the following couplet:
Changing seasons changes all --
Life renews as creation calls.
Piper picks up on Raige's train of thought and ad-libs the remainder of the spell:
Nothing is immune; everything transmutes.
So, take this demon and give him roots.
My erstwhile brother-in-law turns into a tree. A fucking tree. God, I hate this show.
End-of-episode blather about lessons learned. Briefly, it involves Piper and Raige realizing they complement each other and the Nymrods promising to learn to live without a man in their lives because "change is good." Shut up. All of you. Just…just…fucking…zip it, okay?
Manor, and -- awww. Whichever infant they swapped in for this shot of The Done One wriggling around beneath his binkie in the bassinet? Is freaking adorable. My phantom uterus throbs with envy at the very sight of him. Piper and the Dolt coo at the wee little thing for a bit before switching off his nightlight and heading back into the Boudoir proper. Raige enters to announce that she's taking the night off to get laid and no, I'm not kidding. Raige scored a date with one of tonight's Guest Testicles. "Rock on!" Raige enthuses, gesturing with the appropriate RAWK fingers before taking her leave. Brian Krause and Holly Marie Combs completely break character for the exchange that follows, but they're having a good time, so what the hell? Krause bluffs a failing attempt to ape Raige's RAWK fingers. Combs shakes her head and mutters, "Just give it up, man," before bursting into giggles. Krause grabs her and swings her up in the air, snickering along with her, before the camera finally cuts over to the last scene. Heh. "Ape."
The Bay Mirror. Phoebe edges into Chronic's office, and…oh, forget it. I can't. She's in another pair of Those Pants, and they're shooting her from a low angle so I'm staring right at The Tattoo and the creases where her legs meet her groin, and I just…nope. Sorry! Can't look! Will turn to stone! Averting my eyes now! Chronic and The Cooter natter on endlessly about their relationship and then they kiss and then the episode's over! Hooray!
Next week: I really could not care less. Anything's better than this, right? RIGHT?

As a former personal trainer and fitness model, Jillian Panzella knows what it takes to shed pounds, especially since she fought her own battle against weight-loss. After having a child, Jillian gained 50 pounds, but she managed to shed the extra weight in just 12 weeks by following her own transformation plan, which she now shares with others at Jillian Panzella Nutrition. Her plan takes a holistic approach to nutrition and wellness, focusing on making lifestyle changes such as eating nutrient-rich foods, exercising regularly, and reducing stress, which can lead to emotional eating.
Jillian's nutrition packages are tailored to each client's personal needs and can accommodate a wide breadth of schedules and goals. For instance, she offers her general one-, three-, and six-month programs, as well as the more specific pre- and post-natal programs. She also adds an extra-special touch with VIP services, which include customized grocery-shopping lists and pantry makeovers, in which she makes pantries runway-ready.
The board-certified physicians at The Center for Medical Weight Loss develop individualized fitness plans focused on nutrition, physical activity, life style, and medication. Patients begin the quest with a one-on-one consultation with a doctor, discussing their overall health and medication history to devise a weight-loss plan and to make sure their kidneys haven't been stolen. This is followed by a body-composition exam, in which the physician breaks down the percentage of muscle, fat, and water comingling in the human subject and records his or her resting metabolism rate and blood pressure. The preliminary visit concludes with a pair of injections to boost the body's B-12 level and fat-burning ability. The nonsurgical program caters to each patient's metabolism and potential hormonal disorders and sends patients on a path to a slimmer self with minimal rope-climbing burns and a comprehensive weight-loss plan based on the exam's results.
Mina, the owner of 1 Healthy Life, knows how the corporate lifestyle can leave a person stressed, out of shape, and depressed. For a decade, she lived that lifestyle. But when anxiety started to seriously affect her physical help, she took action. Nowadays, she's a certified holistic health coach that helps others out of similar ruts during private and group coaching programs. Regardless of the setting, each customized program reinforces healthy habits such as setting and reaching goals, finding ways to reduce stress, and avoiding rivers roiling with piranhas.
GNC's opulent aisles display a wide variety of vitamin and mineral and herbal supplements, as well as sports nutrition, diet, energy, bodycare, and other health products. The Mega Men Sport multivitamin ($19.99 for 90 caplets) supports muscle recovery and energy levels while aiding speedy male metabolisms without dangling steaks in front of their treadmills. Fuel feats of female strength with the Women's Ultra Mega Active multivitamin ($19.99 for 90 caplets), ideal for vigorous women. Two pounds of Pro Performance 100% whey protein ($35.99) distract taste buds with the flavor of chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry while smuggling 20 grams of high-quality protein into the body in each scoop. Promote healthy bones with a calcium supplement, such as coral calcium, sustainably harvested from the Okinawan Sea to provide a healthy 2-to-1 ratio of calcium and magnesium.
Personal wellness coach and former gymnast Irina P. Erwin really wants her clients to succeed in their health and weight-loss goals. Her programs at NYC Health & Nutrition approach personal wellness head on with workshops and private meetings that address proper nutrition, healthy weight loss, energy levels, and detoxification. Her nutrition services for all ages and her sport and fitness classes help demystify good foods to eat and how to balance workouts with individual goals. And her intensive challenge weight loss program targets all the obstacles in the way of her clients leading healthy lives. By focusing on the client's entire lifestyle instead of one or two limited aspects, Irina is more able to help each person make lasting transformations and make peace in any remaining war they're in against vegetables.
At Spa Jolie, aestheticians, massage therapists, and laser technicians cull techniques from a variety of cultures to beautify their clients. Reflexology, a 4,000-year-old Chinese method of applying pressure to specific points in the hands and feet, joins traditional Swedish and deep-tissue modalities to soothe weary physiques. Fresh, European seaweed makes up one of the layers in the four-layer facial to help tone and tighten the skin. When performing the ancient Indian technique of threading, technicians capture unwanted facial hair between twists of cotton fibers. These culturally diverse practices appear alongside a roster of lasers, made from all-natural, locally harvested machine parts, which help reduce cellulite and even whiten teeth.

January 21, 2011, 7:35 AM — In an enterprise-oriented road map for its BlackBerry smartphone platform, RIM (Research in Motion) is planning a BlackBerry client for Microsoft's SharePoint collaboration platform as well as middleware capabilities for enterprise application integration and cloud-based mobile device management.
The road map supports RIM's hope that businesses in general, and CIOs in particular, will get past their experimentation with iPhone and other mobile devices and turn back to the security and compliance approaches of the past that favor the BlackBerry platform. "We believe issues of complance and security will again be their focus," said Alec Taylor, vice president of product marketing at RIM. He suggested that only the BlackBerry platform can support such a focus, saying that mobile management tools for competing platforms aren't capable enough.
[ As customers defect, RIM faces crunch time for the BlackBerry, says InfoWorld columnist Galen Gruman. | Learn how to manage iPhones, Androids, BlackBerrys, and other smartphones in InfoWorld's 20-page Mobile Management Deep Dive PDF special report. ]
SharePoint client for BlackBerry Due early this year, the BlackBerry SharePoint client for Microsoft manages documents and shares SharePoint calendar events, according to RIM. The client provides document-centric collaboration and integrates with BlackBerry applications like email, calendar, and browser.
"[The client] allows you access to SharePoint from your BlackBerry," enabling users to get work documents and collaborate with colleagues while out of the office or away from their PC, Taylor said. The SharePoint client would function with the BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server).
Forrester Research analyst Jeffrey Hammond lauded RIM's SharePoint move. "I think it makes a lot of sense because we've seen almost viral deployment of SharePoint," and customers want mobile support for it, Hammond said. He added getting SharePoint on the rival iOS or Android platforms would be a difficult proposition. (There are third-party SharePoint clients for iOS, however.) RIM needs to make a move like this to keep BlackBerry popular within IT organizations, Hammond said.

The Public Health Responsibility Deal
The Public Health White Paper
On 15 March 2011, the Department of Health (DH) launched The Public Health Responsibility Deal. The Responsibility Deal is a new mechanism to take forward some aspects of the work to improve health outcomes outlined in the government's Public Health White Paper Healthy Lives, Healthy People: Our strategy for public health in England published in 2010.
The Public Health White Paper emphasises that a 'one size fits all' approach to improving public health has been shown not to work and proposes a new approach for addressing public health issues, primarily through a shift in responsibility from central government to local authorities. The report includes a proposal to work collectively with businesses and the voluntary sector to deliver public health improvements, through the Public Health Responsibility Deal.
The structure of the Responsibility Deal
The Responsibility Deal has been established to tap into the potential for businesses and other organisations to improve public health through their influence on food, alcohol, physical activity behaviours and health in the workplace. The Deal was launched in March 2011.
The Responsibility Deal comprises five 'Networks' on food, alcohol, physical activity, health at work and behaviour change and its development has been overseen by a plenary group chaired by Andrew Lansley. The Responsibility Deal is made up of a series of core commitments and supporting pledges which define the scope, purpose and ambitions of the Responsibility Deal. The core commitments, which any organisation can sign up to, are as follows:
- We recognise that we have a vital role to play in improving people's health
- We will encourage and enable people to adopt a healthier diet
- We will foster a culture of responsible drinking, which will help people to drink within guidelines
- We will encourage and assist people to become more physically active
- We will actively support our workforce to lead healthier lives.
Food Network pledges
Each of the five Networks (Food, Alcohol, Physical Activity, Health at Work and Behaviour Change) has agreed an initial set of collective pledges. For the Food Network, the first set of pledges, which are for the food industry, are as follows:
- We will provide calorie information for food and non alcoholic drinks for our customers in out of home settings from 1 September 2011 in accordance with the principles for calorie labelling agreed by the Responsibility Deal.
- We commit to the salt targets for the end of 2012 agreed by the Responsibility Deal, which collectively will deliver a further 15% reduction on 2010 targets. For some products this will require acceptable technical solutions which we are working to achieve. These targets will give a total salt reduction of nearly 1g per person per day compared to 2007 levels in food. We recognise that achieving the public health goal of consuming no more than 6g of salt per person per day will necessitate action across the whole industry, government, NGOs and individuals.
- We have already removed, or will remove, artificial trans fats from our products by the end of 2011.
As of August, 2011, 32 companies have currently signed up to the out of home calorie labelling pledge (which means that they must provide calorie information for food and
non-alcoholic drinks from 1 September 2011 in out of home settings). Work is underway on two new pledges, one on access to fruit and vegetables and the other around calorie reduction in the food supply.

This is a spoiler thread. Please share. I saw a supposedly final roster on Smash Boards but it lacked Mii Fighters.
Also, on the topic of Ice Climbers, Sakurai said they were a technical problem for 3ds.

This is a spoiler thread. Please share. I saw a supposedly final roster on Smash Boards but it lacked Mii Fighters.

Link to final roster?
No Puff or Claus so far.
And then Maisie Williams murders all the other kids and laughs.
Reggie's body was born ready. The question is if the ice water bucket is ready for him.
Maybe someone let them in on the fact that holding a grudge against a company for comments made by someone who doesn't work for them anymore twenty years ago is ridiculously childish.
Haha, I was laughing as soon as I saw Night Trap team, and even more after seeing what they said. I don't think this third place console needs your third rate game which isn't going to get funded in the first place.
Don't complain, Sean. At least it is attached to your body.
sobs uncontrollably
Wow, I always assumed this was a light gun game, due to the Nintendo Land mini-game. But no, it's top-down Ninja Gaiden. This looks fantastic. Wish I knew if it'd be on Wii U eventually so I could hold off and get it there instead.
I thought when he said Demons were the second faction that he said Vegans. Missed opportunity, I suppose. They would certainly have a natural rivalry with the Vikings.
I am always in Butt Mode.
Yep, no idea who this is.
Super Dodgeball Advance was so good. This doesn't look bad either.
There is in fact craziness afoot. This sounds great. Yay, original stuff.
He looks surprisingly fun, especially with nods to Galaga and presumably other classics.
Aha, episodic games, I called that forever ago.
I think the fact that he put Mario right side up testifies to the employee's basic knowledge of video games. The problem seems more to be with his knowledge of how words work.
You celebrate its anniversary with THAT picture for the article? I can't look at it without cringing. What is this guy doing?
And yes, Puyotris now, please.
This could be love.
Yea, this is more use than I expected out of it. It's good thinking. I don't know what else we could want from a touch screen in a fighting game, particularly one that doesn't use complex commands for special moves (SFIV had touch screen shortcuts).
Regarding singling someone out online, he is talking about something specific there. There arose a trend in online Brawl where three players would join a match together, then everyone just sits still while one of them attacks the random fourth guy, and swap out if you're doing well, so they all focus on the same target all match. Basically, they're complete jerks who don't like fun. I don't understand how this became popular. This new feature helps you identify someone you feel is a legitimate threat when things get chaotic.
Two Best Buys in Louisiana this year. We're moving on up! I will probably go to the West Bank. Both are an hour away but totally worth it. May go both days if the wait isn't as terrible as I expect it to be.
This looks awful. It does seem lazy and disappointing. You cross paths with a particular player once a lap and have a short window of opportunity to hit them. Miss it and it isn't like you can turn around and chase. The arena format meant you could never run in one direction long so you could be cut off if your movement was predicted.
But of greater interest is something I didn't notice in trailers before: Can you no longer trail shells and bananas behind you? Or is everyone simply living on the edge? I think I would be okay with that change. It would give some identity back to the first place items which have generally boiled down to the ones that can be trailed and the ones that cannot being a handicap.
Looks a lot like MKW. Hope it turns out better.
The devil wears many guises. You can't recognize him by his face, only by the malevolent intentions in his heart.
The music from that trailer was pretty good. And the game actually does look a whole lot better than the original, which unfortunately is the least praise I can give a game. The developer interacting with the hero directly is pretty hilarious as a concept, too. I never expected to say so much semi-positive about a Bit Boy sequel. I hope if they do keep making these that it eventually results in a game I'd want to play because it is a fun concept.
"for whatever reason Kubi sounds an awful lot like popular depictions of Satan." For reasons of accurate portrayal, perhaps?
Bit Boy!! ARCADE sounds so exciting. Exclamation points and caps ALL IN ONE PACKAGE!! These guys know what's up.
He doesn't say anything even remotely contemptuous of Metroid fans — or of anyone — that I see. I feel like I read a different article.
Brawl is very different from Melee. The game speed alone is enough to make that obvious. Characters run and fall much slower. The floatiness is something a lot of people dislike. It isn't an upgrade. Some would say it is a major downgrade. I would say it's different and not degrade other people's opinions by acting like my opinion overrides theirs. Both are fun games. My preference is for Brawl, but both are still worth playing because they're so different.
Just because you value grabbing people and throwing them on the ground more doesn't mean people who have different values have no life or have no noteworthy accomplishments off the couch. Wrestling is of no greater consequence than video games. Both are entertainment and something to challenge ourselves in. You shouldn't be so condescending and judgmental. There are polite ways to disagree with people.
I hope people who watch the first video in this thread watch the second for a sense of how "professional" these interviews tend to be. He isn't interviewing with Charlie Rose. The quote from the first one should not be treated so seriously. The idea that Ice Climbers are making the game boring (I think that's what was said?) may in fact be true, but the delivery did not seem disrespectful so much as humorously (and obviously) exaggerated.
And if you want a sense of context for the Ice Climbers in pro games, look up Wobbling. I don't know if that's what they're talking about in the video since it is so brief, but it is certainly something that makes them annoying, or at least appear to be (I don't play against anyone so pro as to use the exploit on me).
He is just talking confident like athletes do all the time. Being the best doesn't mean being completely unbeatable. He didn't say anything hurtful to anyone else in the interview to earn some of the judgmental and overly critical comments.
Maybe they didn't meet B+'s standards and were cancelled.
Always nice to hear from one of the brilliant minds of the industry. The way he takes a game from one system and puts it on another is out of this world.
@simonhwsn Give the download code to a friend... or to me, your new friend to be.
Well, this is the first time I open a Nintendo product and don't immediately register it. Glad I sat on this code all month now. Not sure I really feel like tens of hours of walking back and forth pressing A to grind, but it's at least good trading fodder if I don't download it myself.
Mega Man looks like he has such an unusually enormous head next to Little Mac.
Yea.... the phrase "slay a giant" sent off a warning light. Could be interesting if I were sure the writer could interpret events realistically.
A. E. Sports. It's out the game.
I am confused and amused by their dedication to spoofing EA. Historical figures playing football is also a really funny idea. I think I like this company.
They all look the same as always except for Knuckles suddenly being a linebacker. Well, I have no idea who pink person is, but looks like a standard Sonic character.
The game looks a little better than normal, which is to say maybe decent. I mean, I can generally give anything a shot if I get to fight against Shai-Hulud. (Bless Him and His Water. Bless His coming and His going.)
The picture shows a Wii wheel in use, which would only require one hand, for the most part. The article says their only item is a mushroom, so they would want to use that when not texting.
I like their analogy.
I would hardly call anything they make "easy money." They aren't making Candy Crushes. They are just targeting what they consider the most suitable platforms for their content. You have to realize they are two people. It's not a big studio floating on a boatload of cash. People like to idealize those who take risks, but some people are not in a position to take risks, at least to such a great degree.
I don't think anyone here would be making bold statements about what other people should do with their money if they just made a game that they worked on obsessively for a couple years without a side-job. (Random number, I forget how long they worked on Super Meat Boy and have no idea what they're working on now.)
Neat gimmick, but track creation isn't new. All this does is prevent one player from playing. Looks fun because futuristic racers and track editors are both neat, but the main selling point just seems unnecessary. Guess I'd have to experience it to get an idea for how different it is to make tracks while they are being raced.
I once tried playing Bit Trip Beat's four-player mode by myself. If the paddle's didn't shrink quite so much, it would have been do-able. Two-handed Bit Trip Beat is still fun. I should try just two feet one day. Nice way to keep hands open for a sandwich.
Coming soon to a chain grab near you.
They could mean this iteration of the rules / conponents hasn't been approved yet. Presumably Capcom has already approved them to make the game....
It doesn't look complicated, from the few minutes I was able to watch before I feared I'd die of boredom. Looks like Munchkin but even worse, somehow.
Looks significantly less embarrassing now. Character designers need to decide if they want their characters to look like children or pin-up models and stick to one or the other. Mixing the two is just awkward.

Preclinical Model for Labeling, Transplant, and In Vivo Imaging of Differentiated Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Preclinical Model for Labeling, Transplant, and In Vivo Imaging of Differentiated Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Funding Type:
Comprehensive Grant
Grant Number:
Award Value:
Disease Focus:
Kidney Disease
Stem Cell Use:
Embryonic Stem Cell
Public Abstract:
Statement of Benefit to California:
Progress Report:
Year 1We have made substantial progress towards increasing our knowledge about early kidney development, identified new ways to differentiate human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to kidney lineages, and explored the use of these and other related kidney cells to study repopulation of the kidney. In order to obtain the necessary cell types for regenerative medicine purposes, differentiation of hESC must follow developmental pathways and recapitulate normal development, and our studies have brought us closer to this goal. Investigations have supported that expression of early developmental markers provides a useful and efficient method to direct differentiation of hESC towards renal lineages. The results of these studies have established cell culture conditions that ensure we can consistently obtain the quantity of differentiated hESC needed for transplantation into developing and damaged kidneys. Significant progress has also been made in developing new and effective techniques for labeling cells for in vivo imaging, and monitoring the labeled cells post-transplantation using positron emission tomography (PET). We have collected sufficient quantities of cells in culture, and identified effective methods to label the cells without altering viability, proliferation, or function. We have also shown that these same cell populations can be used for transplantation into developing kidneys, and that the cells persist post-transplant over time and can be identified using PET. This strategy has allowed us to precisely document cell location post-transplantation in vivo, demonstrated that post-transplant viability was maintained, and shown that the cells did not migrate to other anatomical sites.
Year 2We continue to make substantial progress towards increasing our knowledge about early kidney development and disease, and kidney regeneration strategies, and have successfully applied our methods to differentiate human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to kidney lineages for transplant purposes. We have also accomplished effective radiolabeling of the cells for monitoring post-transplantation, and explored the use of in vivo imaging to monitor the cells.
Year 3These studies focus on kidney development and disease, and new cell-based strategies to regenerate damaged kidneys. We have used human embryonic stem cells (hESC) differentiated towards kidney lineages for transplant purposes and monitored these transplanted cells with positron emission tomography (PET) and other related imaging modalities.
Year 4The U.S. Renal Data System has reported that the rate of pediatric end stage renal disease has tripled since 1980. Congenital anomalies of the kidney are responsible for the majority of chronic renal failure and end stage disease in young children, with congenital obstruction of the urinary tract the most common. These studies are driven by the fact that the clinical condition of congenital urinary tract obstruction is one of the most important problems affecting young children with kidney disease, and with few therapeutic options. In humans, alterations in the events associated with normal kidney development leads to aberrant kidney structure and postnatally to abnormal kidney function. Little is known about the early cell populations of the developing kidney, thus further understanding of developmental processes is essential to guide regenerative approaches that will ultimately be successful. These studies have focused on several key issues such as understanding developmental timelines for key kidney markers, cell populations, and the interactive molecular and cellular milieu during ontogeny; new explant models to aid in developing the techniques necessary to enhance regeneration of kidneys damaged by obstructive renal disease; explant culture conditions using human embryonic stem cells differentiated towards early renal precursors; effective methods for labeling these cells for in vivo imaging in order to monitor engraftment and outcomes post-transplant; and effective methods to transplant renal precursors within a natural framework into defined anatomical locations of the kidney.

Olaf met his death in the Battle of Svolder (

The three allies defeated Olaf I in the Battle of Svolder about 1000, with Sweyn becoming virtual ruler of Norway, although nominally sharing sovereignty with his allies. Sweyn then turned again to England, leading apparently punitive...

LONGMONT, Colo. — President Obama's plan to boost domestic drilling for natural gas carries the promise of new jobs and provides a convenient pivot away from his lurching bid to transform America's energy economy with wind and solar power.
Yet in pockets of the nation, including the communities around Colorado's pristine mountains, such a shift carries a political price. The spike in fossil fuel production in this crucial swing state has generated a backlash, as neighborhood activists and environmentalists decry the key means of producing the energy: hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, of rock deep below ground, releasing reserves of natural gas or oil.

When Nick Zito's assistant trainer Tim Poole went to the mike to speak with TVG's Todd Schrupp, Schrupp asked Poole, "When Dialed In ran, what was the conversation like between Julien Leparoux and Nick Zito like?"
Poole said, "You want to know? This is how it went. Nick asked Julien, 'You seen the movie 'Secretariat?'
'Well, I'm puttin' you on him.'"
Makes you want to throw down $200 bucks and pay for your hotels with it.
Also, at Twinspired's table sat trainer Kelly Breen. He was called up to the podium and he spoke of his horse and jockey Rosie Napravnik.
(Side Bar: For all those who think Chantal Sutherland is the most beautiful woman jockey on the track, let's take a look at Ms. Napravnik. She's smart, she's put together, and she's tough as a mountain lion. And, Bruce Springsteen would love this, she's a red head. "It takes a red head to get a dirty job done." Just sayin'.)
So Rosie stood then sat. Schrupp then said that at 6'4" he's usually the tallest man in the room. He then asked another person at Breen's table to stand: NBA center and world champion Will Purdue. He stood up, uncomfortably I might add, and waved.

The Dunbar Haunted House is no longer in operation. Thank you for a great 10 years!
2013 Stats
In 2013 we:
- -raised $25,000.00 for our three charities:
- -The B.C. Professional Fire Fighter's Burn Fund, The Vancouver Police Union Charity Foundation, and the Lowermainland Christmas Bureau
- -had 14,763 people through the haunt over the course of 15 days
- -had over 250 volunteers helped with construction, decorating, animamtronics, lighting and sound, spooking, security, kitchen, music, clean up, etc.
- -Had a number of Vancouver bands perform for our crowds
Our Last Hoorah!
The Dunbar Haunted House is retiring at the end of the 2013 season. We started out in 2004 with a modest home haunt display. Based on favourable public reception the haunt grew both in scale and popularity with each succeeding year. We have had a blast hosting the haunt over the past 10 years and wish to thank the hundreds of volunteers and thousands of appreciative patrons who have made it all possible. The haunt has provided us with a wonderful opportunity to engage in community service and to raise money for local charities.

Grilled Rib Eyes with Mushrooms and Fish Sauce
Antonis Achilleos
Chef Zak Pelaccio is known for bold Malaysian-inspired recipes at his Fatty Crab restaurants in New York City. They will be included in his yet-untitled book, due out in 2012. He seasons even non-Asian dishes with Asian fish sauce in place of salt, because it adds an extra dimension of flavor—thus inspiring the steak and sautéed-mushroom recipe here.
Yield: 4
More From Food & Wine
Recipe Time
35 Minutes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 pounds mixed mushrooms, such as cremini, oyster and shiitake, stemmed and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
- 1 cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped tarragon
- 2 tablespoons snipped chives
- 4 rib eye steaks, cut about 3/4 inch thick (about 10 ounces each)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter in the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the shallots and mixed mushrooms and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and their liquid is evaporated, about 8 minutes. Add the fish sauce and cayenne and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the tarragon and chives, cover and keep warm.
- Preheat a grill pan. Brush the steaks with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill over moderately high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare meat. Transfer the steaks to plates. Top with the mushrooms and serve.

The dramatic changes in economic and social environment in Russia during the last decade will probably have had influence on food choices in Russia, and adolescents especially. The sub-goals of the project are:
- To identify Russian Consumers' main food choice motivations in relation to actual behaviour.
- Explore adolescents' relative food preferences and compare them to adults' preferences in order to detect possible trends.
- Explore Russian meal structure in order to identify differences in attitudes, preferences and behavioural patterns.
Nofima Market intends to achieve these goals through analysing Russian consumers' food choice motives and their perception of risk in choosing specific foods.
We will further identify and analyse the relative preference structure among Russian consumers and relate it to actual food choice.
Both qualitative and quantitative methods in will be used in our study in order to secure high quality and relevant data.
The development in Russia opens for many interesting questions. For example how does the new structure and supply situation influence consumer choices? Are there differences between young people's preferences and attitudes and the older generation?
This is interesting because these two generations have experienced quite different supply and marketing situations:
The young who have been exposed to massive marketing efforts and diverse supply of products, and the older generation who has experienced the Soviet era with product shortages and endless shopping queues.
If there are differences in preference structures, they may reflect in changes in Russian food consumption habits in the long term.
