John Adams: Nixon in Chinaby Robert Orth
The exemplary 1988 Nonesuch release of Nixon in China, with Edo de Waart leading the Orchestra of St. Luke's, with members of the original cast, is iconic for fans of the opera, but a new recording is likely to offer a fresh take on the piece. Naxos' version, with Marin Alsop conducting a live performance with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, is a welcome addition to the catalog. On Nonesuch, Carolann Page did a good job suggesting Pat Nixon's fragility, but she was the cast's weakest link. Her vocal limitations were painfully obvious, and the listener was left with the feeling, in moments like Pat's great aria, "This is prophetic," that there was much more to the music than what she was able to convey. Here, Maria Kanyova is superbly secure as Pat, singing with a rounded, glowing tone. Trudy Ellen Craney as Madame Mao was also problematic, and while Tracy Dahl doesn't sound as strained in the stratospheric role, her voice is small, and this is a part that cries out for a big, thrilling coloratura soprano. Robert Orth's Nixon here isn't always as vocally smooth as James Maddalena's, but he brings to the role an idiosyncratic vehemence and social awkwardness that feel more urgently and authentically Nixonian; this performance makes it sound like Richard Nixon is the role he was born to play. Orth and Kanyova offer the strongest reasons to check out this new recording. Marc Heller's Mao Tse-tung is vocally more solid, heroic, and altogether more attractive than John Duykers', but less quirky and dramatically engaging. Sanford Sylvan's warm and radiant Chou En-lai was a highlight of the original version; his first-act aria, "Ladies and gentlemen, Comrades and friends," was transcendently serene, and "I am old and cannot sleep," brought the opera to a luminous, hauntingly autumnal close. Chen-Ye Yuan manages Chou's music, but his voice is somewhat rough and his interpretation undistinguished. Thomas Hammons reprises his role as Henry Kissinger, and his characterization is significantly more vivid and sharply etched here. The Colorado Symphony Orchestra's tone is leaner than that of Orchestra of St. Luke's, and lacks their warmth and rounded blend. The second scene of the second act, a performance of a revolutionary ballet in which Kissinger is an actor, is so peculiar that it's hard to imagine it making much sense even in the very best of circumstances. De Waart at least keeps thing moving along at an energetic clip, so that you aren't left with time to try to puzzle out what is going on, but Alsop's handling is not only perplexing, it's inert, and certainly the low point of the new recording. Alsop otherwise keeps up the momentum the score requires, and the third act is lovely, lyrical, and lovingly shaped. In the first two acts, though, the transitions between sections, which are genuinely tricky to pull off, frequently sound awkward and abrupt, where de Waart was able to create a seamless and inexorable flow. The sound of Naxos' live recording doesn't come close to the sumptuousness of Nonesuch's version. It's shallower, overall, and the orchestra sounds less integrated. The voices lack the consistent ringing resonance that made the Nonesuch release outstanding. The live audience, though, adds something; its laughter (particularly in Pat's tour of the Chinese countryside) is a reminder that the opera is, in fact, a comedy and has moments that are very funny. While it is not likely to displace the first recording in the hearts and ears of Nixon fans, Naxos' version offers some very fine performances and is one that true devotees of the opera are likely to want to hear.

Nixon in China starts us off like any good Greek tragedy would. with a haunting scene of war and poverty. In this case, the scene is set by the very capable Opera Colorado Chorus. Other tracks are equally ominous as though they came straight from a thriller flick. The historical aspect of the opera is very enjoyable, yet it maintains a very human element throughout in the relationships between the characters. From business to diplomacy to romance, it's all covered. The language and subject matter is intense at times, but authentic. Composer John Adams makes wonderful use of the libretto, both forceful and mundane, to weave a consistent tapestry of sound. One of the more lighthearted moments is also one of the first things that caught my ear. Premier Chou En-lai asks President Nixon about his flight. Nixon's response is "Smooth.", but the music jokes otherwise. It's witty and it's honest. Conductor Marin Alsop and singers bring the music to life and help the whole piece strike a nice balance between history and modernity. If you enjoy modern music and are looking for something new, this would be a great addition to your collection.

WOW! Sooo awesome. I made the full recipe, but switched out one of the quarts of heavy whipping cream with Half & Half. I also didn't have any tomatos, so I threw in a jar of Barilla. This recipe is foodgasm worthy and will become a regular in our home.
The flavor on this dish is out of this world! Although I read the reviews for substitues I followed the recipe pretty closely except added quite a bit of basil and some shredded mozzarella. The one downside about this is it did take a lot of pans a quite a bit of cooking time before going in the oven. I think next time I make it'll do some shortcuts to minimize the time in the kitchen. I cut the recipe in half and it still had leftovers after 8 servings.
This wasn't that great for us. It had way too much cream in my opnion. That was all we could taste. DD liked it, but DH and I decided to eat something else for supper. Maybe I did something wrong, because most reviewers loved this.
This was a GOOD one. I cut the recipe in half as the whole recipe would feed an army. I still had a few leftovers. I used ground venison (that I spiced up) The sauce was awesome. I would have chopped the peppers instead of strips. Added some chopped onions. This again was a keeper. Thanks for sharing
I doubled this recipe for a large work luncheon. Substituted whole milk for heavy whipping cream, otherwise I followed the recipe. Cooked it in a large roaster. Everyone raved about it. Absolutely delicious. Next time I might add some spinach for color and flavor. A little pricey.
This was absolutely yummy! I used a combination of 1/2 and 1/2 and heavy cream because it is what I had on hand and cut the recipe in half...and still had 1/2 a pan left after my family of 6 ate! I also used a 29 oz can of slightly drained petite diced tomatos and didn't puree them. While at my Scavo family reunion I was told my Great-Grandpa Frank made the best baked mostacciolis ever using home-made sausage...until I find his recipe this one will definitely do! Most excellent!
I forgot to add the star rating. 5 all the way!!
Absolutely delicious! I halved the recipe though. Sauce came out perfect! I cut up a large tomato and a half, skipped the processor / basil part, and threw it in as-is into the sauce. yum yum. Definitely a keeper in our house. Thanks!!
I admit - I only used this recipe as inspiration. I had fresh tomatoes, left over italian sausage, leftover carmelized onions, leftover roasted red peppers (all from a pizza party) and then used this recipe as inspiration. I added additional fennel seed and italian sausage seasoning, cream, parm, garlic and pasta. It was really great! Thanks!
This was great! I made it exactly as is well except on top I used parm reggiano and I also halved it. I loved the freshness of the tomatoes and basil. I never used red bell pepper when I make Italian dishes, but I will now, what a difference! Some mozzarella on top would be good too! Thanks for posting!

Micheliz, whose other pole position came in Slovakia last year, secured the front of the grid for Honda on their home circuit after beating a quartet of Chevrolet cars that was led by Alex MacDowall, the fastest in the Yokohama Trophy, and Tom Chilton.
They formed one of the youngest trio ever seen on top of WTCC qualifying, at an average of 26 years.
BMW men Mehdi Bennani and Tom Coronel happily settled in tenth and ninth positions, meaning that they will start from the front row on the reverse grid for tomorrow's Race Two.
Qualifying 1
Yvan Muller completed a lap of 53.228 late in the session beating Norbert Michelisz's provisional fastest lap of 53.341.
The dying moments were plenty of drama once again. Gabriele Tarquini and Coronel improved to third and fourth respectively, while James Nash got away from an uncomfortable 12th position and climbed to fifth.
Local drivers Hiroki Yoshimoto in the Nika Racing Chevrolet and Takuya Izawa in the third works Honda spoiled their chances to make the cut with mistakes on their last attempt.
James Thompson was the last one to join the top twelve and denied Charles Ng his first trip to Q2.
Muller, Michelisz, Tarquini, Coronel, Nash, Chilton, Tiago Monteiro, Pepe Oriola, Bennani, James Thompson, MacDowall and Robert Huff all progressed to Q2.
Qualifying 2
The first stint nearly established the whole ranking. Michelisz completed a perfect lap and broke the 53-second wall for the first time in this weekend. His 52.886 was good enough for pole position and was only a thousandth of a second slower that Alain Menu's WTCC lap record from last year.
Most of the drivers committed mistakes while trying to improve during their second attempt – including Muller, Tarquini and Monteiro.
Only MacDowall was able to better and climbed to second with a lap of 53.011, relegating Chilton (53.101) to third.

April 1957 J. G. BRABEC AIR FILTER FOR LAMPS Fileid April 15, 1954 INVENTQR JOSEPH G. BRABEC g BY ATTORNEYS nited States Patent O r A 2,790,510 a Ratentedp f r 1957;
AIR FILTER FOR LAMPS Joseph G. Brabec,.San Leandro, Calif. Application. April 15,1954, SerialNo. 423,272
3 Claims. (Cl. 183-37) The present invention relatesto a combined lamp and filter, and in more particular to a powered filter unit that may be supported on the upper end of an ordinary floor lamp standard to take the place of, itslight and light bowl but which may retain the originalshade.
There is a need in many places for an air filter that iscompact, light in weight, easily installed, and inexpensive. The prior art devices have required that if, the, filter be easily portable and installed, it must be constructed as a separate piece of furniturev if placedin a room. A further requirement has been the need, for a separate power cord to connect the filter fanto a sourceof-power. Other defects of the prior art-havebeenthe complexities of construction of such prior devices.
Having in mind these and other defects of the prior art devices, it is an objectof the presentinvention. to construct an air filter that may be screwed into an. ordinary lamp socket for support of. the filter. unitand for obtaining power for its operation.
Another object of the present invention is the construction of an air filter that may be installed by; sub- 2. porous filter. material. Finally, light sockets; may be secured at. .spaced points around the: housing. and a shade placed outside. of the: whole, assembly.
Such, an assembly when screwed into thesocketof a floor lamp, in place ofthe. usual light and. bowl, the
- shade'may be, the. same oneoriginally used, with the stituting it on a floor lamp for the light and bowl or" such floor lamp.
A further object of the present invention is-theforming of an air filter, light, and lamp stand. asa single unit.
A still further object of the present invention is the construction of an air filter so that it issmall, compact, light in weight, and has but few parts.
Yet another object ofthe invention is the combining of an electric motor and-a plugelectrical connector sothat they are a single'rigidintegralunit that may be supported-by the plug when the plug is placed in a mating socket.
The invention possesses other objects and features of advantage, some of which, with the foregoing, will be set forth in the following description of the preferred form of the invention which is illustrated in the drawing accompanying and forming part of the specification. It is to be understood, however, that variations in the showing made by the said drawing and description may be adopted within the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims.
The above mentioned objects are achieved and the defects of the prior art remedied by securing integral with an electric motor for the transmission thereto of power, a plug electrical connector, and of placing said plug axially of the motor and its shaft, and at one end of the motor, whereby the motor may be supported in an electrical socket by such plug and power thereby delivered to the motor for its operation. Further, if the axis of the motor is vertical and supported at its lower end, a fan is secured to the motor shaft at the upper end of the shaft and motor, a tubular housing is placed around the motor and supported thereon, and a foraminous plate is placed above and adjacent the fan but spaced from the upper end of the housing to form with the housing a filter chamber that is filled with a floor lamp, doesnotchange the appearanceof the floor lamp or, its.usefulness.as a source of light. However, the. function of an air" filter. has been added, and by adding to the porous filter material certainsubstances, odorizing of. the. air may, also, be achieved.
Anillustrative embodiment of the invention as above outlined, is, hereinafter; described .in detailaand illustrated in the, accompanying. drawings, in which Figure l, is. an elevational view, partly. in section and certain conventional. details omitted, ofa. floor lamp and filter embodying, the. present invention.
Figure. 2 is. a fragmentary elevational view partly in section. showing slightly modified form of the invention.
In the. figure, there areshown. asconventional parts. of a fi'oor lamp, its base 1, standard 2, light" socket 3, switch 4, switch key. 5, and shade 6' withitssupporting spider 7. I
The filter unit. is securedto. the stand and supported by a screw plug 11 havingthestandardform of-threads or other. securing means formed in electricalconnectors but preferably either. the. medium or mogul screw form: Th'isscrew plug 11 is, of course,.also. constructed". in. other details, than. the form of the. thread. inthemanner of such.v electrical. connectors. The plug is located: axially and at the lower end of an electric motor. 12. The plug is rigid with. the motor and by itselectrical construction and the construction of. the. motor, electric powermay be transmitted. from. the. plug to the. motor for its operation. Also, arranged. axially of the plug and. the motor, and extending outwardly fromgthe upper end of, the motor. is a driveshaft 13 ofthe motor to. which; shaft is secured. a screw type fan 14, or propeller, by, means of a. nut 15.orotherseeuringdevice.
The rotational direction of the motor. andthe construction of the propeller maybe suchthat they willdrive the. air either upward or downward, but it has. beenfound thatthe motor will remain cleaner if the air isv forced-downward as indicated by the directional'arrows.
Surrounding, spaced from; and supported on the motor 12 by means of a plurality of radially extending brackets 17 is an open ended tubular housing 18 that has flared upper 19 and lower 20 end portions, and a cylindrical middle portion 21. Brackets 17 are secured to the motor and the housing, and are each hollow to provide a conduit for electric wires connected in the motor circuit and to a light socket 22 secured at the outer end of the bracket which extends slightly beyond the outside of the housing. A light 23 is secured in each of these sockets 22, and each socket may be provided with a suitable switch.
Above and adjacent the fan 14, and extending across and secured to the housing is a foraminous plate 26. This plate is spaced from the upper end of the housing and is about at the juncture of the upper flare 19 and the middle portion 21. This foraminous plate and the upper flare portion of the housing form a receptacle for the retention of a porous filter material 27. This material may be glass Wool or other conventional air filter medium. Further, this filter medium may be impregnated with an oil so as to increase the dust retention power of the filter, and impregnated with an odorizing or deodorizing substance which will, also, treat the air passing through the filter.
The shade 6 is supported on the upper end of the housing 18 by its spider 7, and is of a size that surround the filter housing and the lights 23, and be outwardly spaced therefrom. At the lower end of the housing, the motor may have secured to it a fairing ring 28 which will shield the plug 11 and the socket 3, and will reduce air turbulence at this part of the housing.
Also, this fairing ring, as shown in the modification of Figure 2, may be extended to have a bottom, or skirt, part 29 which snugly fits around the socket or standard of the lamp so that all of the bending loads which may he applied to the filter when it is being handled will not come on the electrical connectors but will pass from .the motor housing to the fairing ring and, thence, directly to the lamp standard.
From the above description when taken in connection with the drawing, it will be readily understood that the filter unit may be easily installed on a conventional floor lamp or table lamp having an upwardly opening socket. The filter unit will take the place of the lamp and bowl usually found on such lamps. In most instances the shade found on the lamp may be used with the'filter. The lights secured to the filter housing will function in much the same manneras the one replaced by the filter. If the lights are provided with separate switches, they may or may not be operated with the filter. Of course, the motor may be provided with a separate switch so that the lights may be operated while the motor is not operating. While in the drawings the air has been indicated as flowing downward through the housing, this direction may be reversed by a change in the fan design or in the motor direction of rotation. While other types of fans could be incorporated in the present invention, the one shown lends itself well to this particular form of construction. With this embodiment of the invention large quantities of air may be rapidly cleaned and odorized. The construction is compact, simple, and inexpensive to produce. The filter material is easily replaced.
' Having thus described the construction and operation of a particular form of my invention, I claim:
' 1. An air filter comprising: a vertically disposed tubular housing having open upper and lower ends, a standard having a base and an upper end secured to said housing and having a socket thereon, a perforate member extending across said housing near its upper end, an electric motor having a drive shaft positioned coaxial of said housing and below said member, a screw propeller below said member and secured to the upper end of said shaft, and a screw plug electrical connection for operation v of said motor secured to the under side of said motor and coaxial of said shaft and housing and threadedly engageable with said socket.
2. An air filter comprising: a tubular housing having open upper and lower ends, horizontal means extending across said housing near its upper end to form with the portions of the housing above said means a receptacle to hold a porous filter material, an electric motor having an upper end adjacent said means, a lower end adjacent the open lower end of said housing and a drive shaft coaxial of said motor and said housing, a screw propeller between said means and said motor and secured to said shaft for operation thereby, and a screw plug electrical connection secured to the lower end of said motor, coaxial of said motor and housing, and electrically connected to said motor for delivery of electrical power thereto, whereby operation of said motor and fan will move air through said porous material, said housing, and axially thereof, a standard having a lamp socket thereon threadedly receiving said screw plug connection.
3. In combination with a vertical standard having a threaded lamp socket at the upper end thereof, a tubular housing having open upper and lower ends and axially aligned with said standard, a foraminous plate extending across said housing near its upper end to form with the portions of the housing above said plate a receptacle to hold a porous filter material, below said plate an electric motor having an upper end adjacent said plate, a lower endadjacent the open lower end of said housing and a drive shaft coaxial of said motor and said housing, a screw propeller between said plate and said motor and secured to said shaft for operation thereby, and a screw plug electrical connection secured to the lower end of said motor, coaxial of said motor and housing, and electrically connected to said motor for delivery of electrical power thereto, whereby operation of said motor and fan will move air through said porous material, said housing, and axially thereof, said screw plug connection being threadedly engageable in said lamp socket.

He's a consummate marketer, so it's no surprise he does a masterful job of telling his life story with the right mix of swagger and humility. You'll gain a deeper appreciation for his business acumen, drive and determination. And if you're an aspiring entrepreneur or someone who's debating whether to pursue your passion, you'll get some invaluable advice and cold hard truth for the bargain price of just $29.95."
—Hamilton Spectator
"[Kevin O'Leary] is a master at relaying the cold, hard truth to people, even when it makes them cry and stomp their feet. That's why the title of his new memoir, Cold Hard Truth, cuts to the heart of his philosophy of life and money, which really boils down to one thing: focus on making cash or get out of business."

I thought this book was more "entertainment" then "learning something", and even then, it's more about entrepreneurship than anything else.
Go read The Richest Man in Babylon, Millionaire Teacher and The Wealthy Barber for "personal finance learning".
If you want a different view to the usual, visualise a million dollar to make a million dollars, then I would recommend this book. If you dont like Kevin on Dragons Den or Shark Tank then this book is not for you!
I must say I am quite disappointed in this book. Nothing new in it. I only read it for curiosity's sake of course, because of O'Leary, the man we love to hate. I was not looking for advice. I borrowed it from the library; I would not spend money on a book on how to save and get rich; that would be oxymoronic... It is one of my rules: if you can borrow it from the library, don't buy it! By all means, do make a commensurate yearly donation to your library though.
I find that the first part, where Mr. O'Leary tells the reader to write down every single expense for three months, is totally unrealistic. No one, just no one is going to do that except someone who is already extremely disciplined with money and therefore doesn't need the advice.
I found nothing very original in the book. However, it will sell because these books are like dieting books and other self-help books; people who need to lose weight or to make money are addicted to them; it never changes their life but they feel better while they read the book and plan on using its techniques.
Too many typos in the book reminds us that editing isn't what it used to be, and even one sentence whose meaning just doesn't make sense: P188 (by the way, a few areas of the book don't even have page numbers; this is one of them.) "Even if living on one income for a few months will save you thousands of dollars in transportation costs, it might be worth it to forgo daycare." I think it was meant to be: "Not only will living...."

Cornhole players descend on Knoxville five whole weeks before football season
Hundreds of cornhole players are in Knoxville throwing beanbags filled with corn a full five weeks before football season. Players are competing in the American Cornhole Organization World Championships at the Knoxville Convention Center. The object of the game is to throw the small bags at a slanted platform with a hole in the far end until the hotdogs are ready or it is time for kickoff. "I mean, these are the earliest tailgaters ever," said cornhole fan who is really just a football fan Grant Coberly. "And Neyland Stadium is a few blocks over. They're going to be pretty tired of that game by September. Then again, it could take them that many weeks to drive down Cumberland Avenue."

Pilot freaking out a little after flying over giant Women's Basketball Hall of Fame ball
An airline pilot making her way from St. Louis to Charlotte was horrified to fly over a large, 30-foot tall basketball near downtown Knoxville Monday. American Airlines pilot Courtney Klein told reporters there is a freaking ginormous orange ball right in the middle of an East Tennessee city. "Who is playing basketball in Knoxville?" a distraught Klein told her colleagues. "Are the Lady Vols that tall? Has the radiation from Oak Ridge finally mutated the entire region?" Klein made an emergency landing at McGhee Tyson Airport while authorities investigated the 10-ton Baden basketball. "I'm not exactly sure what it's that big," said Knoxville police spokesperson Tinah Miller. "I thought we liked football better. Weird. Either way, Donald Trump's tiny hands will never be big enough to hold it, that's for sure."

Tennessee's slow drivers adjust to driving below speed limit in different lane
Driving on multi-lane roads in Tennessee has been a more pleasant experience since a new "slow poke" law went into effect July 1.
The new law prohibits using the left lane of a three-lane highway for any reason other than passing. Anyone caught violating the new law could face a $50 fine.
Legislators say the law will cut down on bottlenecks of traffic.
But for some slow ass drivers in the Volunteer State, the legislation has taken some getting used to.
Franklin Schrock of Lenoir City is one Tennessee slow poke who has had to make some modifications to his driving.
"It's definitely been an adjustment," said Schrock. "Normally I like to get over in the far left lane and then mosey along at whatever speed I feel like going. I really enjoy looking in my rearview mirror and seeing people screaming at me and giving me the finger. Being one lane over, it just loses something, you know?"
Other slow drivers say more should be done to accommodate people who don't want to go the posted speed limit.
"Not everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere," said Tennessee Slow Drivers Association president Dale Sheehan. "Some of us are in it for the journey, not the destination. And if the journey also takes longer for the 30 other cars stuck behind you, well they'll thank us someday."
State officials say drivers don't have to stop driving insufferably slowly, they just have to move over one lane for God's sake.
"People don't have to quit driving slowly, they just have to quit driving slowly in the far left lane," said state trooper Martin Beeler. "Or better yet, they could just stop driving on the highways altogether. Tennessee has a lot of other great roads. They need love, too."
Other slow drivers say they are considering more drastic measures.
"I guess I'm just going to have to move down to Florida," said Dana Hulihan of Knoxville. "They understand me there."

Melania Trump delivers soaring speech, calls for Gorbachev to 'build up this wall'
Melania Trump delivered a soaring speech at the Republican National Convention Wednesday, calling for Soviet Union president Mikhail Gorbachev to "build up this wall." The third wife of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told the audience that it is time to welcome change and openness. "There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace," Trump said to cheers. "General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the United States and the world, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, close this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, build up this wall!" This is not the first time Trump has given a well-received speech. Last week she preached a sermon on a mount, but became visibly confused when speaking the words "blessed are the meek."

The 20-story high ride is operating in technical ride rehearsal mode, which means it is subject to temporary closures or delays until it fully reopens. The coaster was struck by an electrostatic discharge, after which park visitors heard a loud, booming sound coming from the Thunderhead coaster. Witnesses also reported seeing a massive rotating column of air near the Tennessee Tornado ride. "I guess we need to come up with less weathery-sounding names," said ride technician David Kaspars. "Who would have thought that a roller coaster called Lightning Rod would have been such a magnet for trouble?" This is not the first time a ride at Dollywood has experienced problems. In 2009 the park temporarily misplaced its Mystery Mine attraction.

Smokies officials: tourists searching for bear sightings becoming more common
It's not uncommon to see tourists looking for bears in the Great Smoky Mountains, but officials say the sightings are becoming more common. Park rangers in East Tennessee say the past couple of months have seen an increase in the number of tourists looking to take photos of bears, especially in Cade's Cove area. The National Park Service says your chances of spotting tourists looking for bears are better this time of year because sightseers tend to migrate to national parks during the summer months. "Vacationers usually aren't dangerous as long as you don't get between the papa tourist and his photo op," said park ranger Tricia Sterling. "Still, you want to give them a wide berth. After all, tourists are wild animals." Officials recommend staying out of Cade's Cove in the early morning and late evening to give cars of people from Michigan a chance to park in the middle of the road and gawk.

Tennessee declares state of emergency due to excessive Pokémon Go playing
Tennessee officials declared a state of emergency this week after hundreds of grown adults took to the streets in search of virtual Pokémon.
The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency declared the state of emergency early Tuesday. By late afternoon agency spokesman Kyle Kruse said they had received reports of people chasing invisible monsters from a popular mobile game all over town.
"It works like this," said augmented reality game player Cambria Adams. "You can find the Pokémon from the game in the real world. To catch one, first you need Pokéballs. You can get obtain those at Pokéstops, which are attached to churches, parks, stuff like that. Then when you find a Pokémon your phone vibrates and you can catch it. Wow, I just listened to myself talking, and I sounded like a complete lunatic."
Several East Tennessee residents have been admitted to hospitals after playing the game, due to bumping into trees, wandering into traffic and even driving their cars into ponds. One player was reportedly bitten after mistaking an actual dog for an Arcanine.
Police said one North Knoxville resident fled his home screaming in terror after finding a nest of Rattatas in his basement. Another interrupted a wedding trying to catch an Aerodactyl perched near a bridesmaid.
"We're a little concerned," said Great Smoky Mountains park ranger Erika Molique. "I don't even know what a Charmeleon is, but I'm told it's kind of like a dinosaur and its tail is on fire. That sounds way worse than a bear."
East Tennessee residents say they hope they will be able to level up so they can battle at a Pokémon gym soon.
"I mean, I thought Pokémon was a card game," said Oak Ridge homeowner Melody Ryan, who is literally standing next to a Meowth right now. "Now all of my neighbors are walking around in the woods, shaking their phones and cursing. On the plus side, that made it really easy to steal my neighbor's TV."

Area freak outdoors, not catching Pokémon
A bizarre Knoxville man spent Wednesday evening outdoors without even taking his phone out to try and catch Pokémon characters. Witnesses say Wes Tibbetts was on a Bearden sidewalk last night and was curiously not trying to get the Weedle just five feet away. Nearby Poké Ball carriers avoided the man, fearing he might be a hobo. "It was weird," said Knoxville Pokémon hunter Jaydin Radek. "He was just walking his dog down the street. He didn't even have his phone out. Like some old man. I'll stay off his lawn." This is not the first time a Knoxville resident has managed to experience reality without a phone. Last week a Fountain City resident read a book with pages.

Amendment zoning payday lenders to seventh circle of hell passes City Council reading
Knoxville City Council passed on first reading last week an amendment that would regulate title and payday lenders to the seventh circle of hell. The restrictions in Knoxville would require those who operate "alternative financial services" to set up shop in the third round of the seventh circle of Dante's Inferno, near a large plain of burning sand scorched by fire falling from the sky. The seventh circle of suffering is reserved for those who commit acts of violence. "You would think that those who charge excessive interest against financially vulnerable people would be in the fourth circle, reserved for the greedy," said Brandy Brouwers, the city's director of spherical sentencing. "But Dante has usurers in circle seven. That's cool though because the seventh circle punishments are way better." This is not the first time City Council has changed zoning laws. In 2010 Lane Kiffin was zoned for the ninth circle of hell, reserved for punishing traitors.

Donkey Kong Country review
donkey kong country
This game based on what is one of the SNES' finest hours has been ported (finally) but when I bought this game I was really shocked. What was once a top of the range side-scrolling platform game, with top graphics pre-rendered wonderfully on some expensive bit of hardware. Well that was "back in the day"
And it hasn't aged well.
Amazingly enough rare have teamed with Nintendo again and made a classic game into a disappointment. The graphics look dark and washed up (even on an SP) on some occasions you get your self killed due to the screen not showing what you want to see or in some cases need to see. You are guaranteed to die even if you can see, as there is some points in each level where you will fail on your first try and maybe even struggle to do altogether.
As I started this review by looking back at what was once great game it now looks like a common platformer by today's standards the game is far from disastrous it's just not as good as it once was. It is out done by most of the platformers for the GBA including the wonderful Mario Advance and Sonic Advance this Port show that Nintendo do make major mistakes (64DD anyone?).
The extras might keep you entertained after you have finished it but it won't keep you busy for as long as other better quality platfomers for you hand held buddy. I would advise that you get a SNES and play the original (and have fun) on it rather than spend some money on a murky version of which will lead to a lot of torment.
Overall: 5/10
Graphics: Very poor for the game that originally relied so on them to dark on GBA too murky on GBASP and to blocky on the GB player for GameCube. Having aged so drastically is both a shock and a shame this will lead to anger on the GBA and SP when you die due to not seeing what you needed to. 4/10
Gameplay: Dated from its original splendor still solid and with the twist's but you will get killed regularly and will often not see why until it's too late due to the graphics. 6/10
Lifespan: It will last for a short amount of time; the extras might keep you attached to the game for a little while longer. If you have played the original you know what to expect and you should be able to rush through it in no time if you haven't the game will last you a bit longer. 6/10
