How about a K&N airfilter. Good place to start I think.

K&N is a good suggestion...
I'd also recommend:
"better" suspension
make the car handle better before making it faster

Talking about handling, how big are your wheels? The bigger the diameter the better the handling (to a certain point). When I upgraded my 14" alloys to 16", the change in handling was huge! No more rolling and bouncing in curves and better response and feel.

a lightweight pulley is a good mod that does not put extra wear and tear on things it also can give you better gas mileage when you don't drive hard with it. here is a spot to get one.

When you went to 16"s what size tire did you go with?

Just don't forget to not to do something to void a warranty (if its important to you). I'm surprised there are no head gasket issues with the WRX yet, considering there is more chance for detonation and the extra heat in the engine compartment.
Go nuts on the mods AFTER your warranty is up, otherwise when a problem arises.....you are up ****e's Creek without a paddle.

I got some impressa six spoke alloys (gold:D) from a junkyard (cheap) and put on 205/50 16. They fit perfectly, no rubbing at all and speedo is only 0.5% off.

NEWBERRY - Two key countywide law enforcement related votes showcased the ballot for Luce County voters in Tuesday's general election, with a millage proposal defeated and the incumbent sheriff returned to office.
Sheriff Kevin Erickson, Republican, handily won reelection. Erickson was being challenged for another term by independent James Kitzman. Erickson got 1,507 votes; Kitzman had 913.
Races for other county offices, including treasurer, clerk and prosecuting attorney are uncontested in the general election, though there was competition for those seats during the primary.
A countywide ballot was defeated by a vote of 1,084 yes votes to 1,333 no votes. The proposal was seeking 1.5 mills for three years to fund $10,000 each year to the Straits Area Narcotics Enforcement and to generate money for three additional sheriff's deputies to provide full-time, countywide patrol and the assistance of the SANE team.
The levy would be have been collected for the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 and would be expected to generate about $276,397 during the first year of collection.
The Tahquamenon Area Schools Board had three candidates running for two open seats on the panel. Incumbent Christopher Beaulieu won reelection, along with challenger Samantha Oswald. Mikal M. Staley was also running for a seat. Beaulieu got 1,507 votes; Oswald, 1,522; and Staley, 714.

HANCOCK - Finlandia University made big news across the U.P. for the second time this week when it announced the hiring of Mike O'Donnell as its new men's basketball coach.
O'Donnell is a three-time U.P. Class ABC Coach of the Year at Negaunee High School and will be leaving the sidelines at Lakeview Memorial Gym to coach at his alma mater. The Lions this week also named Tim Driscoll as the school's first football coach.
"Being able to come back to my alma mater is something I'm extremely excited about," he said in a press release. "This is a place where I had success as a player and a student, and I hope help my players learn to be successful not only on the court, but in the classroom as well."

O'Donnell graduated from Finlandia in 2004 and during his career helped the Lions to the 2001 United States Collegiate Athletic Association Division I championship, being named the tournament MVP.
"We are extremely excited to have Mike come back and be a part of the Finlandia Lions family once again," athletic director Chris Salani said. "The successes he's had as a basketball coach and as a teacher exemplify what we want from our student athletes here at Finlandia.
Since he took over the Miners, O'Donnell won eight district championships, six regional championships and reached the final four of the MHSAA Class C tournament three times. His record at Negaunee is 180-48 for a .789 winning percentage.
O'Donnell was named U.P. Class ABC Coach of the Year in 2008, 2013 and 2014 and his Miner teams have been named Class C Team of the Year in five of the last seven seasons, including the last four in a row.
Finlandia posted a 5-18 record in the third and final season under Terry Smith, who resigned to pursue new career opportunities.
"Our goal will be to build a strong, successful Division III basketball program with a core of players who love to call the Upper Peninsula home," O'Donnell said. "This is a unique program in our region, and I think it's a great opportunity for U.P. players to showcase their talents."

Longmeadow's John Overstreet knows how to run. Since the start of October, the senior has launched himself into the conversation as one of the fastest runners in Western Mass., with many thanks to his smarts on the course, in practice, and taking care of himself.
Overstreet is part of a talented group of Lancers varsity runners that all have run pretty much the same speed all season.
"The difference between our first place finisher and our seventh place finisher has been 30 seconds," Lancers coach Jim Flaherty said. "It's nice to have a group that can all run it at the same pace; it beats being out there by yourself, for sure."
Overstreet noted the value of having a group right behind him, especially in meets.
"We've got a whole group doing really well and working on getting faster," Overstreet said. "There's that sense that anyone can win any given meet, so I'm always pushing to do my best, because they're right behind me."
After his first career victory on October 1 (where he posted a winning time of 15:06 at the 2.72-mile course at Whiting Reservoir) Overstreet went on to finish first for Longmeadow – third overall – at home against Ben Doiron and a tough Westfield team on October 8. Overstreet's time of 17:19 was a personal best, but not one he intends to keep for long.
"I'm hoping to break 17, at least at PVIACs, but maybe before," Overstreet said. "We'll see how that goes."
Flaherty praised the smarts Overstreet has employed, both as a student and as a runner. Flaherty believes Overstreet's smarts are what makes him such a strong runner.
"He's really been on top of what pace he needs to run. He's trained not only hard, but very smart," Flaherty said. "Any little injury that sneaks up, he takes care of it. He does everything he's supposed to."
Running is a very mental sport, and defeating your own inhibitions, fears and pain can be the difference between running a good race and coming up short. Overstreet has shown maturity in his ability to control himself and his pacing while running.
"He knows he needs to work his pain threshold to get better, and he's willing to do it, Lancers assistant coach Mark Staples said. "He knows the appropriate level to stress his body so that he's going to get something out of it."
While Overstreet's place in the Western Mass. running elite is still young, he appears to have mental toughness necessary to compete at the Western Mass. championships.
"He does nothing but work hard and have dedication and commitment to being the best he can be, and the results have really shown that," Flaherty said. "I would love to see him qualify for states. If he keeps doing what he's doing, he should."

So what do you pay for an everyday bottle of wine? Jeff Siegel, a.k.a. The Wine Curmudgeon, asked that in a column the other day, and I thought it was pertinent topic that might promote some dialogue.
Siegle: My views on this are well known: One reason Americans don't drink more wine is that we're told we have to spend too much money to do so, and so we don't. Or, as the guy who checked me out in a grocery store several years ago said, when he saw that I had bought several bottles of $10 wine: "Why are you spending so much money on wine?" And he didn't say it nicely, either.
I would agree. As someone who comes home and often finishes a long day with a glass of wine, I can't afford to be spending $20 or more on a bottle or two every week. Now, I have plenty of those resting on their side down in the cellar (maybe of those locally produced), and save those for occasions where we're having family or guests or I'm actually sitting down to open one with a meal. So I like to stay in that $7 to $12 range, which you can find at a number of regional wineries.
I sent a note to a number of winery owners and winemakers overnight Friday asking for an answer to that question. It's a busy weekend for wineries, so I was happy to even receive a couple of responses by midday today. Here's what I got back:
Scott Bubb, Seven Mountains Wine Cellars, Spring Mills, Pa.
As for the cost of everyday wine, I think that depends on each person's income. I think that a fair price is $12 to $15. But someone who makes a couple hundred thousand dollars a year and has more discretionary money might think that it's fine to drink $30 to $50 per bottle. It makes them feel special. I do think there is a big difference in wine in these two price ranges. However, I do not believe that there is much difference in a $50 bottle and a $100 bottle. Once you get over that $50 price range I think the wines are all very close regardless of the price.
Jason Reimer, The Vineyard and Brewery at Hershey, Middletown, Pa.
The cost of an every-day wine is a challenging question to answer as it varies based on personal tastes. If you are looking for a dry white, or sweeter or semi-sweeter wine to enjoy, I would think you could easily get a good wine for that purpose under $16 per bottle. Those wines, with the right air-tight vacuums, can also last a few days for enjoyment. If you are looking for a drier red wine, that is difficult. You can find a wonderful cooking red wine, like the Chambourcin, for under $16. However, I know I tend to enjoy traditional Bordeaux-type red wines; it's hard to get a good Bordeaux under $20 though.
Anthony Vietri, Va La Vineyards, Avondale, Pa.
I suppose that I see everyday wine as generally determined by one's income and whether their interest lies in wine being a delivery system for alcohol or a way to introduce beauty into their life.Follow @pierrecarafe

Big Spring and Northern entered Monday's Colonial Division tilt with much in common.
With identical 3-3-0 records, the division rivals had seen their seasons start in the same erratic way. On any given day, it seemed, the Bulldogs and Polar Bears could either play good teams tough, and hang around much longer than expected, or step on the grass and get blown away by a team they should have been able to compete with.
So even though Big Spring eventually beat the Polar Bears 3-2, the game was an even, hotly contested affair that both teams can build off going forward.
It was the sort of contest where the play of one side inspires greater play from the other, and right before the half, you could feel the momentum building.
In the 29th minute, Big Spring's dynamic forward, Lydia George, stole the ball deep in Bulldogs' territory, drove it in the opposite direction to the Polar Bears' goal, and flicked it at Northern goalkeeper Haley Mowery.
Mowery deflected, only to have the ball come flying right back in her direction. To the goalie's credit, her quick reflexes allowed the Polar Bears to keep the score at 0-0 going into the second half.
Then, it became a goal-scoring extravaganza.
Despite several stellar saves from Mowery, Big Spring finally penatrated the Polar Bears' defenses when George fed Lindsay Bower a shot in front of the cage and Bower easily slotted home.
Northern came right back, with Emily Hudson scoring off a Molly Urey feed.
The Polar Bears backfield struggled to contain George as she waltzed through the defense and reeled off an assist that resulted in goal No. 2 by Caity Stevens.
But George wasn't done yet. With six minutes remaining, she separated from her defenders and bore down on Mowery. One-on-one.
The goalkeeper gambled, and approached to meet George and the ball.
"I saw her coming out, and I went to hit it to the left of her, and it worked," said George, who snuck the ball past a flailing Mowery for what turned out to be the winning goal.
Northern returned fire with a goal from Tiffany Hammer 20 seconds later, but could not come up with a third equalizer despite dominating possession in the final two minutes of play.
"We knew their goalie was really good and that to beat them, we would have to get past the goalie," said Big Spring coach Carol Kuntz. "They have some some players with a lot of talent, but today it just seemed like we were solid and wanted it more."
The Polar Bears out-shot Big Spring 15 to 13, but could not overcome the issue that's plagued them all season: scoring.
"We're having trouble scoring and I'm trying different combinations and using six forwards, it's been a little difficult finding the back of the cage," Northern coach Kelly Farrell said. "We've had lots of opportunities, and one of these days it'll start falling for us."

It's Jerzday, which means another new episode of "Jersey Shore" on MTV tonight at 10. Ratings for last week's premiere dropped for the first time ever, but the Seaside Heights crew still had a massive audience of 7.6 million viewers.
If you missed last week's episode, The Star-Ledger's Amy Kuperinsky has the entire recap for you. A very quick rundown: Cast hates Italy. Cast loves New Jersey. The Situation and friend The Unit stir up trouble with Snooki and boyfriend Jionni. Pauly gets Vinny's sloppy seconds. Everyone shoots down Deena. Vinny is homesick and wants to leave. Whew.
What we didn't get in last week's episode was a whole lot of boozing or debauchery, although if MTV.com's sneak peak is any indication of this week's show, that could change quickly.
Check out the clip below of tonight's episode, which features quotes such as: "Snooki is wasted off her face," and "Oh my God, I was going to like cook you, like, chicken cutlets and stuff like that," and "It's like you're taking care of your child."
Oh, Snooki, what would we do without you?
Based on last week's episode and this week's sneak peeks, here are a couple predictions we have for tonight's show:
• Snooki and Jionni have another big fight, as they slowly approach Ron and Sam on the "worst reality TV show couples" leaderboard.
• Another cameo from Sitch's sidekick, "The Unit." And not because we particularly want to see him wreak havoc. We just like watching the cast members call a grown person "The Unit" with a straight face. Have we even heard what his real name is?
What predictions do you have for tonight? Post them in the comments section below and be sure to check back after the episode for Amy's full recap!
And here's one more clip of tonight's episode:

A clearer picture of corn's biochemical responses to insect and fungal attacks is emerging, thanks to new findings by Agricultural Research Service scientists in Gainesville, Florida.
On one front, a team led by ARS plant physiologists Eric Schmelz and Alisa Huffaker has identified 10 compounds in corn, kauralexins and zealexins, which rapidly accumulate at fungal infection sites, impeding the microbes' spread. Kauralexins and zealexins are also partly triggered by insect chewing—with the European corn borer among the species that find them distasteful.
On another front, Huffaker led the discovery of a new peptide (protein) in corn, ZmPep1, that's produced in response to fungal infection. In addition to serving as a sort of "call to arms," the peptide helps the plant mount a timely counter-offense.
Taken together, the discoveries add significantly to the existing body of knowledge on corn's stress-coping mechanisms and set the stage for novel approaches to improving its insect and disease resistance.

Top 20 Movie Musicals of the Last 50 Years from 'Cabaret' to 'Grease' to 'Dreamgirls'
How will 'Les Miserables' compare to these classics?
15. 'Dreamgirls'
What do you get when you take the story of the Supremes -- a rags to riches saga filled with romance and heartbreak - and put it in the hands of Bill Condon, the man who came up with the Oscar-winning conceit of "Chicago"? One of the few movie musicals to live up to its stage predecessor and expand on its cinematic potential. And speaking of legends, no one thought anyone could replicate Jennifer Holliday's Tony Award-winning performance of "And I'm Telling You" as Effie White. Former "American Idol" contestant Jennifer Hudson set her own standard taking home ever honor possible and making Effie all her own. Throw in Eddie Murphy's charismatic turn as James 'Thunder' Early' and you've got a movie that's more than a 'dream,' it's magic.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. --- Arden Heights resident Joseph Curry may not be so skilled at using coffee cup polls to pick future presidents, but when it comes to picking lottery tickets, Curryhas the magic touch -- winning $1 million from the New York State Lottery.
Staten Island's latest lottery winner was announced Wednesday to the world during a press event held in Madison Square Garden, Manhattan. Curry was one of seven winners from New York City and Long Island to be showcased at the event, which included popular New York Lottery Personality Yolanda Vega and Lottery jackpot announcer and commercial personality Ralph Buckley.
The winners' combined total take: $12 million.
That's a lot of cups of coffee or a lot of lottery tickets -- whichever one you choose.
Curry said he's going to spend his winnings taking his family to Disney World. But more important, he plans on installing central air conditioning in his family's home.
An electrician for Local Union No. 3, Curry won his prize via the New York Poker Game scratch-offs. He purchased the winning ticket on April 3 and claimed it April 5, said Lottery spokeswoman Carolyn Hape-Man, who noted Curry's take was the highest prize offered in the New York Poker Game.
"It's just like Christmas morning," Curry said of the win. The 46-year-old had actually traded in a $10 Mother's Day ticket and used that to purchase the Poker scratch-off.
He said he scratched his ticket in the parking lot of the Guyon Minimart Inc., Oakwood.
"It was great. I didn't spend any of my own money and won a million dollars!" he said.
"I signed the ticket first thing and called my wife. I brought it to another store to make sure it was the real thing and they told me to call the Lottery. That's when I knew it was real."
Curry is the same guy who appeared in the Advance on Oct. 3, 2008, supporting then-candidate John McCain as part of 7-Eleven's popular 7-Election -- a presidential coffee-cup poll that allows citizens to vote simply by purchasing a cup of coffee with their nominee's name. Happily for Curry, he has better luck on his lottery picks than on his presidential ones.
He will receive his prize in installments of $50,000 -- $31,091 after taxes, through 2029.

CHICOPEE – In the summer of 1975, Gail St. George was 17 and vacationing on Cape Cod for two weeks with her family. She is now a Chicopee resident, but back then she lived in West Springfield.
It should have been a wonderful time in her life. She had a boyfriend back home, whose class ring she wore with her own class ring stacked on top, as was the custom, to show the world that they were going steady.
Then, on the second day of St. George's vacation on the Cape, disaster struck – or what seemed like disaster to a teen-age girl. While St. George was swimming, both rings slid off her finger and into the Atlantic Ocean. "Two seconds after they fell off, I realized what had happened," she recalled.
It ruined her vacation, she said. Class rings, then as now, were very expensive. With the help of her brother, Gary Cloutier, and her friend Annie, St. George combed the beach and the water every day for the remainder of the two-week vacation, but no amount of searching or sobbing could bring back those rings.
Fast-forward 38 years. St. George has been happily married to Marc St. George for 30 years. Martin Costello, the high school boyfriend whose ring she lost, is also happily married to someone else. He and his wife of 25 years, Lorilee, live in Westfield. Costello works in the auto body shop at the Fathers & Sons auto dealership in West Springfield, and Cloutier owns Cloot's Auto Body in Westfield.
The St. Georges have three children, the Costellos two. The rings, and the tears that were shed over them, had long been forgotten.
Forgotten - until a few weeks ago, when a stranger phoned the St. George home. His name was Richard ("Rick") Browne, and he said he had found Gail St. George's ring in chest-high water off Cape Cod. Not only that, but he had recovered her former boyfriend's ring, too.
St. George was astounded. "The odds of this happening are monumental," she said. Her brother passed the news on to Costello.
"It's quite a story," said Browne, in a phone interview from his home in South Yarmouth. He had tracked down the former sweethearts through the names of the high schools engraved on the rings – Chicopee Comprehensive for Costello, West Springfield High for St. George - and their initials.
Browne plans to return the rings when he visits the Springfield area later this month on another matter.
Though the fate of the two lost rings is surprising enough, the most amazing part is that the story is not unique. Browne belongs to an international group called The Ring Finders Metal Detection Services, Inc., whose members make it their mission to reunite rings and other jewelry with their owners.
According to the Ring Finders website, members have found and returned 919 such items. The group is headquartered in British Columbia, and its network of ring finders extends from Peru to Norway to Thailand. The United States alone has 170 ring finders listed.
Browne, who is retired from the U.S. Navy, said he has found and returned hundreds of items over the past 31 years. One memory that stands out for him is the return of a lost wedding ring to an 88-year-old woman on what turned out to be the 35th anniversary of her husband's death.
Browne said he does not accept rewards, though he does accept gifts. He recently received a fruit tart from another grateful woman. What he appreciates most, he said, is a "thank you" note and a picture of the person with the found object.
"If I can make somebody's life a little happier, it's what I strive to do," said Browne.
All the men in this story have been distinguished by their classy behavior. After the rings were lost, said Costello, "Gail's father, an absolute gentleman, said to me, 'Marty, just go get another ring and I'll pay for it.'"
Costello replied that it wasn't necessary, adding that even when he had the ring, it mostly sat on his dresser anyway.
He also made it clear to his then girlfriend that he didn't blame her. "He told me it wasn't a big deal, that it was fine," said St. George.
No doubt about it. A guy like that deserves to get his ring back.

MOUNT PLEASANT, MI — The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe distributed $639,592.27 to entities in northern Bay and Arenac counties, with public schools receiving $223,857.29. The money represents 2 percent of slot revenues tied to the Eagles Landing Casino near Standish.
The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribal Council on Tuesday, May 28, announced its spring 2013 distribution amounts for Isabella, Arenac and northern Bay counties. Recipients were announced and checks were to be distributed Thursday, May 30.
Isabella County and surrounding local units of government will share $2,119,745.13 in revenues, with $741,910.80 going to public schools, according to a news release.
While the tribe does not release information about its gaming revenues, it is required to distribute 2 percent of slot revenues to local government by law. The $639,592.27 in revenues to be shared by northern Bay and Arenac counties represents 2 percent of $31,979,613.50, and the $2,119,745.13 in revenues to be shared by Isabella County and surrounding local units of government represents 2 percent of $105,987,256.50.
This year there were 398 requests for funding totaling $13,552,380.23 between Isabella county schools and local units of government, and 116 requests for funding totaling $16,214,851.76 for Arenac and northern Bay counties, according to the release.
"The number of requests we review are indicative of our current economic reality, the need is there no matter where you live in Michigan," Tribal Chief Dennis Kequom stated in the release.
Following are the top five Saganing area recipients:
- Arenac County $210,000
- Arenac Eastern School District $78,677.30
- Standish Township $65,000
- City of Augres $50,000
- Augres-Sims School District $49,830.99
See the full list of Saganing area recipients and dollar amounts here.
Darren Kroczaleski, superintendent of Arenac Eastern School District and Standish-Sterling Community School District, said past grants have been awarded for such things as anti-bullying programs and technology.
"The tribal grants really help the district and the students because, generally, the things that are asked for are extra stuff that are not in the budget," Kroczaleski said. "...The 2 percent has been a great help."

BERNARDSVILLE — A SWAT team has reported to a barricade incident on Anderson Hill Road in Bernardsville, according to the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office and a report by the Basking Ridge Patch.
The website reported the situation began around 7 p.m. and was still active at 10 p.m. today, and local police are not sure whether anyone is being held hostage. Some residents in the neighborhood have been evacuated from their homes and relocated to the local library, according to Patch.
A spokesman for the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office would not confirm additional details.
A witness told News 12 New Jersey that Somerset County sheriff's officers may have been trying to serve a warrant on a man when he barricaded himself inside a house, possibly with weapons. Streets around the house continue to be blocked off by police as of 10 p.m.
About 8 p.m. local police called the Bernardsville library asking to them to stay open to receive people who have been evacuated from their homes, said Pat Kennedy-Grant, a library employee.
In nearly two hours, seven residents from homes evacuated on Anderson Hill Road and Elmer Avenue checked in and left their phone numbers to be notified when they could return to their homes, said Kennedy-Grant, a reader services manager there.
Residents were calm, she said.
Police did not tell them any details about the situation, she said.

When it comes to most improved players, every team in Big Ten football could use some emerging stars heading into the 2013 season. Whether competing for a national or conference title or just looking for bowl eligibility, every team will need help from unexpected places to reach its goals.
Part of the reason national perception of the conference is down has been a lack of such standout improvements for many of these teams on a consistent, annual basis.
However, some of the newer coaches in the league such as Urban Meyer, Jerry Kill and Brady Hoke appear to be capable of honing these young talented players into stars. With just a few players making the leap from "just OK" or "mediocre" to "great player," a coach can ensure his program (and his job prospects) stays headed in the right direction.
So which player on each Big Ten football team is ready for a breakout improvement season?
Whether the improvement comes from being more healthy, having new coaches in place or just receiving a better opportunity for an underachieving player in 2012, each of the players on the following slides is ready to be a star or a key contributor in 2013.
Let's take a look at the projected most improved players in Big Ten football this year, starting with the Leaders Division.

Rave party goers' kin rough up media
Irate parents, relatives and friends of the rave party revellers on Tuesday manhandled mediapersons.
New Delhi: Irate parents, relatives and friends of the rave party revellers on Tuesday manhandled mediapersons who were trying to catch a glimpse of the six accused, including two girls, who were released from Yerwada jail after getting bail.
They damaged cameras of mediapersons but the police did not intervene.
Two hundred and seventy one youngsters were taken into custody on Sunday morning for attending a rave party on Holi. Most are now awaiting bail and will be released on Wednesday after completion of formalities.
However, bail will be just temporary relief for them as all 271 accused have to report in court every 15 days till the police files its final chargesheet and if they are found guilty of drug abuse, they may face up to one year of rigourous imprisonment.
Family members of many of the accused are loudly protesting the police action. They say the police has unfairly detained 'everybody' present at the party.
On Tuesday, parents and relatives of the party goers were seen completing formalities and furnishing the bond. The passports of some of the revellers have been impounded.
The Pune Police claim they have evidence that drug parties like this particular one are organised using social networking sites like Orkut and isratrance.com.
The involvement of an international drug syndicate is being investigated.

A treasure trove of Niagara information
March 20, 2013 - Burt Angeli
Kerry Grippen, also known as Wisconsin's finest newspaper columnist not named Bob McGinn, never lets me or his readers down.
If I need something Niagara-related, "Grip" has the answer. Allow me to provide a few examples.
When Appleton Xavier High School soccer standout Ashley Bovee signed on with Loyola University Chicago, "Grip" had the family background. Ashley is the daughter of Niagara High School graduates Robin (Pilon) and Marty Bovee and granddaughter of Anita and Jan Bovee and Cindy and Randy Pilon.
Pulaski won Wisconsin's Division 2 boys basketball state championship with a Niagara connection. Starting senior forward Spencer Lawniczak is the son of Niagara grad Kris Turrie, a standout on the 1984 Badgers who posted a 22-0 record before falling in the sectional finals. Spencer's grandparents are Julie Turrie of rural Niagara and Bruce Turrie of Aurora.
Oshkosh North, with guard point guard Nathan Neveau, bowed to unbeaten Germantown in the WIAA Division 1 tourney. Nathan, son Brian and grandson of Niagara great Ray Neveau, has helped his team reach Madison the past two years.
A Niagara name — Joe Doucette — caught my attention in the WIAA girls basketball state tournament. The Colfax coach isn't related to the Doucettes from Niagara but did face the Badgers in the 1994 state tournament.
A Becky Turrie free throw lifted Niagara past Colfax in the state semifinals. Doucette, in his 27th season with 500 career wins, did advance to the state finals Saturday but fell to three-time champion Algoma 46-30.
As always, thanks "Grip."

The game definitely has my interest. It has a lot of potential, hopefully they'll succeed with it.
Japanese publication Famitsu has revealed a new RPG from Namco Bandai called Fragile: Sayonara Tsuki no Haikyo (roughly translated as Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon). The game will take place in the third-person perspective and emphasize exploration.
Players will assume the role of a young boy named Seto who lives in a futuristic world that has "lost its light". Much of the world's population has mysteriously disappeared, leaving only a blanket of cold, evil fog. Seto will explore the ruins of this desolate landscape in the hopes of finding other human beings, particularly a girl called "Heroine".
At Seto's disposal will be a flashlight, along with tools of metal and wood such as a stick and metal detector. These items can be used as weapons, to help solve puzzles, dissipate the fog, uncover enemies and more. According to Famitsu, players will move Seto with the Nunchuk's analog stick and employ the Wii Remote for such actions as pointing the flashlight.
Game design and graphics direction for Fragile will be handled by Namco Producer Kentaro Kawashima and the team behind PlayStation 2 title Venus & Braves. Developer Tri-Crescendo, known for its work on the Baten Kaitos series of RPGs for GameCube and Eternal Sonata for Xbox 360, will handle the game's development.
Readers can expect Fragile to be released in Japan during 2008. No word of a worldwide debut has been given.
Namco Bandai plans to hold an event for the game on November 24.

Zahard's Princesses
|300~[citation needed]
|154 cm
|First Appearance
|Vol.1 Chapter 6
|Every time I see that Zahard's crest attached to your head I get the urge to crush you into a thousand pieces!!!
—Anak to Androssi Zahard
Anak Zahard Jr. (아낙 자하드 Jr., Ahnahk Jahhahd Junior; or "Anak Jahad Jr.") is one of Zahard's Princesses. She is only a demi-Princess though (meaning half of her lineage is Zahard's blood) and she also at a point possessed two of the 13 Month Series, something few Princesses have done. It is revealed that she is, in fact, the daughter of the real Anak Zahard who was impregnated by her lover and ran into hiding.[1] She is climbing the Tower for revenge. She is currently on the 39th Floor trying to obtain the name of the Kaiser at the Name Hunt Station.
Notes and TriviaEdit
- Due to her childhood situation, she was filled with resolve to climb the Tower and entered for revenge.[1][2] This would be against Zahard and his family, for persecuting her mother.
- Also, according to SIU, Anak was one of the characters who appeared in the original Black and White version of ToG. However, she was human then.[3]
- Whilst still an E-rank Regular, she was considered as being one of the top 5 strongest Regulars.
- Anak means "child" in Indonesian and Malaysian, so Anak Zahard means "Child of Zahard".
- After forming part of Leesoo's team, she gained some fame as she climbed the Tower with them.
- (To Ship Leesoo) "Hmm... I thought you were a pretty handsome man... guess I was wrong."[4]
- (To Androssi Zahard) "Ghosty Eyeballs... you... I'm gonna kill you if you order something expensive."[5]
- (To Koon Ran during the Plug Event) "I don't run away-- not because I am arrogant, but because I 'can't'."[6]
- (To Koon Ran during the Plug event) "What are you surprised about? Come and finish me. Don't tell me that your scared to go against me when I'm in this state?"[6]
Alternate TranslationsEdit
- (Korean Pronunciation) Ah-nahk Jah-hah-deu
- (SIU) Anak Jahad
- (Line Webtoon) Anaak Jahad[7]

The traffic light at the intersection of Stadium Drive and Howard Street in Kalamazoo was not working early Friday morning.
Crews had been on the scene to place flares and stops signs to help motorists navigate the intersection, however.
It was unclear when the traffic light would be repaired. Motorists may want to seek alternate routes, especially during rush hour when traffic often is heavy.

Special to The Republican
Because of more than $90 million in charges and settlement agreements in acquiring Boston-based electric and gas utility NStar in the second quarter, Northeast Utilities reported quarterly earnings down nearly 40 percent from the second quarter of 2011.
NU last week reported profits of $44.3 million, or 15 cents per share, down from $77.3 million, or 44 cents per share; those earnings including $91.5 million, or 30 cents per share, of after-tax charges from the April 10 closing of the merger and various related settlements benefiting Connecticut and Massachusetts customers. NStar's results are included in NU's second-quarter results but not in NU's first-quarter results.
In the first six months of 2012, NU earned $143.6 million, or 60 cents per share – including $92.6 million, or 38 cents per share in merger and related settlement costs – compared with $191.4 million, or $1.08 per share, in the first half of 2011.
NU President and CEO Thomas May said the second-quarter results before merger and related costs were in line with the company's expectations. May also said he was pleased with the companies' integration since the April closing.
Customers in Massachusetts and Connecticut have already received $46 million in rate credits on their bills, he said.
May also said that NU's ongoing investment in transmission infrastructure will continue to bring "significant benefits" to customers.
NU's transmission segment earned $63.7 million in the quarter and $110 million in the first half, compared with $42.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $86.9 million in the first half. NU's electric distribution and generation segment earned $70.5 million in the quarter and $112.5 million in the first half, up from $39.1 million and $94.8 million a year earlier.
The 2012 results exclude $50.8 million of second-quarter after-tax merger-related charges and settlement agreements, including $43 million of rate credits provided to customers of Connecticut Light & Power, NStar Electric, and Western Massachusetts Electric Co., as well as $40 million of reduced storm cost recovery from CL&P customers.
NU added that the distribution and generation segment benefited from control of operating expenses offset by higher pension and health care costs and higher depreciation and property taxes.
Excluding $38.4 million of after-tax merger settlement-related charges, reflecting $25 million of customer rate credits and the $40 million write-down of 2011 storm costs, CL&P's distribution segment earned $10.5 million in the second quarter and $31.3 million in the first half, down from $19.1 million and $47.6 million a year earlier. NU said lower 2012 results were due primarily to a weather-driven 3.8 percent reduction in retail electric sales in the first half and higher pension, tree trimming, and system maintenance costs.
Excluding $15 million of customer rate credits and a $10.6 million after-tax charge, NStar Electric's distribution segment earned $42 million in the second quarter. Excluding $3 million of merger-related customer rate credits and a $2 million after-tax charge, NStar Gas earned $ 100,000 in the second quarter.
Yankee Gas lost $100,000 in the second quarter and earned $14.6 million in the first half, down from $1.2 million and $23.7 million a year earlier. Yankee Gas said its second quarter reflected a 5 percent decline in natural gas sales due primarily to warmer weather in April and May 2012, which reduced customer space heating demand.

To all our valued customers:
On behalf of our Managing Director, Mr. Richard Knight, please be advised we will be taking bookings a month at a time until further notice.

Loloata means many things to many people...
In the Motu language, Loloata has a literal meaning created from the words "loloa" and "ta" which translates to "one hill."
Many of our overseas guests find Loloata Island Resort a tranquil and more natural alternative to the bustling capital city of Port Moresby, New Guinea. For locals, Loloata Island is a welcome getaway -- a chance to unwind, commune with nature and enjoy true Melanesian hospitality.
To scuba divers, Loloata Island Resort means great diving, and a chance to observe some of the world's greatest coral reefs and meet a myriad of marine animals in their natural habitat. Underwater photo enthusiasts find a dazzling array of great fish, corals and invertebrate subjects only minutes away from the dock aboard our new deluxe dive boat. Everyone enjoys the meals -- from the morning breakfast cooked to order to the hearty lunch and dinner buffets -- combining the best local produce and Melanesian specialties with a menu designed for the discriminating palate.
What will Loloata mean to you? Words cannot accurately describe the sensation of being in such a magical place. You'll have to experience it for yourself.
When visiting New Guinea, stay with Loloata Island Resort instead of a hotel in Port Moresby. We're only minutes away from Moresby's new international and domestic terminals in our air-conditioned vans and well-equipped boats -- but you'll feel as though you're in another world.

Updated at 7:55 p.m. Friday, March 21 to include state police confirming the cameras were being used here in the parade Sunday as a test for use in the Boston Marathon April 21.
The surveillance cameras that drivers and pedestrians have seen crews installing on the St. Patrick's Parade route but about which police have provided little information are security features that the Massachusetts State Police has installed to test for use in the Boston Marathon April 21, according to Mayor Alex B. Morse and a report on NECN.com.
Trooper Nicole Morrell confirmed state police placed the cameras along the parade route as a dry run leading up to their possible use at the Boston Marathon. She was unsure how many cameras were installed here, she said.
The parade, which is on Sunday, draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city in an event organizers say is second in size only to New York City's St. Patrick's parade.
Footage from cameras was instrumental in identifying the two men responsible for last year's bombing at the Boston Marathon. Two pressure cooker bombs were placed near the marathon finish line, killing three people and wounding more than 260.
Earlier this month, public safety officials in Boston announced that security for this year's marathon would involve increased video surveillance and bag inspections.
Citing unidentified officials, a report on New England Cable News (NECN) website Thursday said some of the devices installed here will have microphone sensing technology that can pinpoint the exact location of gunfire or other loud noises.
Crews were also seen installing devices with microphones in the area of the Holyoke St. Patrick's Road Race's start and finish lines downtown. The race is Saturday. The devices carried a label that read "Boomerang".
Raytheon / BBN Technologies manufactures a series of Boomerang "shooter detection" devices that have been used by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan to identify the positions of snipers. The company advertises the system as an "[…] award-winning shooter-detection system detects incoming small-arms fire, indicating the azimuth, range, and elevation of the shooter."
The St. Patrick's Parade has been free of major issues over the years despite drawing such large crowds, and Morse said he welcomed the technology if it can make the city even safer and help Boston.
"We've never had any major issues, people come to have fun, but you never know when something can happen, so we want to be prepared," Morse said.
The cameras were paid for and installed by the State Police, said Morse, adding, "My assumption is that they'll be removed after the parade. The city of Holyoke didn't offer to test the equipment. It was installed by the State Police."
In an emailed statement Wednesday, Holyoke Police Chief James M. Neiswanger said, "We want everyone to have a good time this weekend and enjoy the road race (on Saturday) and parade with their families and friends. HPD is doing more than we have ever done as far as security. I hope you can appreciate that I cannot discuss our security protocols." Neiswanger declined to answer follow up questions such as how many cameras were being installed, who was paying for them and whether they were temporary.
The parade will begin Sunday morning at the Kmart plaza at Whiting Farms Road and Northampton Street and proceed down Northampton Street, turn right onto Beech Street, turn right onto Appleton Street and left on High Street.

KALAMAZOO -- First baseman Matt Abro's 10th-inning walk-off home run Tuesday gave Western Michigan University baseball coach Randy Ford his 100th win.
Abro's shot lifted the Broncos toa 5-4 win over Illinois State and allowed the fourth-year coach to reach the century mark for victories.
WMU (28-19-1) plays an important three-game Mid-American Conference series Thursday-Saturday at Northern Illinois. The Broncos are in a six-team race for one of four remaining playoff spots in the MAC Tournament.

No one was injured when a Cougar Helicopters flight fell to within 11 metres of the ocean's surface after takeoff from the SeaRose offshore oil production vessel on July 23, 2011.
A report resulting from an investigation into the afternoon flight was issued Thursday by the Transportation Safety Board (TSB).
It explains how the helicopter, with two crew members and five passengers aboard, lost speed and rapidly dropped more than 150 metres, with emergency warnings sounding.
The captain and first officer regained control, but only a second from disaster.
The TSB found the near-crash was not a result of a mechanical failure. Gaps in training and procedural issues were pointed to as contributing causes.
The captain brought on an automatic control early in the flight. The helicopter's nose tipped up in response. Speed dropped, the autopilot shut down and the aircraft lost altitude.
The person at the controls was apparently shaken up.
"The captain, subtly incapacitated possibly due to spatial disorientation, did not lower the nose of the helicopter," the TSB found. "This contributed to the excessive amount of altitude that was lost during the inadvertent descent."
The helicopter was saved by the crew when it was about the length of a standard school bus away from the ocean's surface.
"Sea spray was being kicked up by the helicopter's rotorwash and it was covering the windows," the TSB report states.
In the crash of Cougar Helicopters Flight 491 in March 2009, a drop in oil pressure began 28 minutes into the flight.
Capt. Matthew Davis and his co-pilot, Tim Lanouette were calling a mayday to Gander just 22 seconds after the oil problem first emerged, but used their training to continue to work the problem over the course of 11 minutes before, largely as a result of a mechanical failure beyond their control, their helicopter fell to the water.
In 2011, there was much less time.
The flight was less than a minute away from the helipad when the trouble with speed and altitude started. To the point of recovery, the entire incident lasted less than two minutes.
The release of the TSB's report was followed by statements from the provincial NDP and Liberals criticizing the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (CNLOPB) for not having provided more information sooner on the close call - now more than two years in the past.
"I am shocked that we find out only today, and only courtesy of the federal agency, what exactly happened ... and what exactly Cougar did to help prevent a recurrence," stated NDP leader and MHA for Signal Hill-Quidi Vidi Lorraine Michael.
"One of the recommendations Judge Robert Wells made in his November 2010 report on the Cougar 491 tragedy was the creation of a powerful independent offshore safety authority, as has been done in more progressive jurisdictions around the world such as Norway, Australia and the United States."
She suggested a separate safety authority would have issued "ongoing updates" on the case.
Liberal Transportation and Works Critic Tom Osborne said the 2011 event was "too close for comfort."
"Government needs to step up to the plate and establish a safety regulator that can be proactive instead of reactive to ensure that we are doing everything we can to prevent incidents like these and tragedies like those of Cougar 491," he stated.
"Ultimately, an incident like this is the mandate of the TSB to investigate," said CNLOPB chief safety officer Dan Chicoyne.
Unlike the TSB, he said, the CNLOPB has no access to onboard voice and data recorders or ability to call forth witnesses.
Information gathered by the board in this case was provided in a public "incident bulletin," issued the day of the close call.
The board offered an update in a second written statement, issued Aug. 11.
"Aside from the initial incident itself, we didn't have much information to put forward," Chicoyne said, adding the board is careful not to issue statements of fact if there is a risk they might be incorrect.
However, he said, the likelihood of pilot disorientation having potentially played a role in the case was an early finding and led the CNLOPB to push for an increase in simulator training for pilots, focused on spatial disorientation.
"The only way to overcome that is with training in the simulator," he said.
One pilot not given new training hours was the one in charge during the close call. He was fired on July 28.
The same day, the rest of Cougar's pilots were told the captain had "made no attempt to recover the aircraft from an easily recoverable situation which resulted in coming as close to a crash as you can without crashing."
In an emailed statement Thursday morning, a spokeswoman for Cougar Helicopters said any recommendations coming from the TSB will be followed.
"Cougar continues to be a leader in safety awareness and, through its commitment to continuous improvement, it is a leader and an advocate of the promotion of Canadian, indeed global, aviation safety. The organization continues to strive for and target excellence in every aspect of its day-to-day operations - some of which is from lessons learned," she said.
"Actions noted from past experiences are, where appropriate, incorporated into pilot and engineer continuous recurrent training. Further, as noted within the TSB report, Cougar has already initiated new enhancements within its flying program."

The Syracuse man shot with his own shotgun during an argument this morning has been released from the hospital. Officials at Upstate Medical Center say Robert Bigness, 32, of 107 S. Alvord St. is no longer a patient.
Joshua Hatter, 25, of 107 S. Alvord St. is in jail charged with a felony for allegedly firing the gun as he snatched it from Bigness' grasp during an argument at 1:24 a.m. today. Bigness had retrieved a loaded Mossberg 835 shotgun to protect himself, court records show, when Hatter confronted him at his home. According to police, the two neighbors were locked in an ongoing dispute.
Hatter managed to seize the gun from Bigness, discharging a birdshot round in the process. One of the pellets struck Bigness on the right side of his head, records show.
Syracuse police say Hatter's family members tried to hide the shotgun in the basement. Hatter was arraigned this morning on one count of 2nd degree robbery and sent to the Onondaga County Justice Center where he remains pending payment of a $250,000 bail bond.
Hatter is also awaiting a court appearance for a previous driving while intoxicated charge from the Dewitt Police Department.

Langley CMA tackles tough questions Sunday
Pastor Dwight Ford will speak to the question, "Why are Christians Such Hypocrites?" at the Sunday service at Langley CMA Church.
The question is often heard when the subject of religion in America comes up and the answer is seldom heard.
Approximately 86 percent of Americans refer to themselves as religious, and 75 percent of all Americans consider themselves Christians.
However, we live in an age where science and secularism have raised some serious questions. Questions like: Isn't the Bible just a collections of myths? Why does the Christian faith seem like a straight jacket that tries to end what little joy there is in this life?
The service begins at 10:30 a.m.
Also at the church, the community kitchen is open from noon to 1:30 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday, and preschool is held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the school year with activities for all ages throughout the week.
Get more information on the Langley CMA church worship schedule, audio messages, Bible reading plans and upcoming activities by going to www.Langleycma.org or call 341-1478.

From Michigan Sugar to Pinconning Cheese, and locally grown apples to bread baked down the street, we don't have to look too far for our food.
In a recent MLive poll, readers said capitalizing on that fact could be the key to success on Food Network's newest show, Food Court Wars, the winner of which will win space in the Midland Mall rent free for a year.
When asked, which concept could win Food Court Wars, more than 37 percent of voters said any restaurant that put a focus on locally grown or made ingredients.
The second most popular choice was American food with a twist, while readers tended to shy away from Mexican fare, Asian fusion and tapas eateries.
Think you have a winning Food Court Wars concept? The deadline to apply is Wednesday, April 3. Teams of two must have pre-existing relationships. Candidates and eatery concepts must be from and based on the Midland region.

Tonight's game: Akron RubberDucks (43-30) vs. Harrisburg Senators (28-42), at Metro Bank Park, 7
First-pitch weather projection: 75 degrees, partly cloudy
Probable starters: RHP Gabriel Arias (5-2, 3.38 ERA) for Akron; RHP Brian Dupra (1-2, 5.59) for Harrisburg
Promotions: Inflatamaniacs entertain throughout the game; fireworks after the game
* The Senators' next 14 games will be exclusively against Eastern League Western Division leader Akron and second-place Richmond. Senators manager Brian Daubach obviously recognizes an opportunity here. "We have the biggest two weeks coming up in the season. We've got nothing but Richmond and Akron for the next two weeks, and as we've shown [with recent seven-game winning streak leading into current four-game losing streak] we've gotten hot and won a bunch of games in a row. So it would be a great time to get hot again."
* Three of the Senators' five starting pitchers -- Brett Brach, James Simmons and Zach Kroenke -- were signed out of the independent Atlantic League this season. Thanks to injuries to former Senators starters like Felipe Rivero, Rob Gilliam, Matt Purke and Sammy Solis, this was necessary. Does it concern Daubach having 60 percent of his starting staff from outside the organization? "These guys are veteran guys. It's not like they're rookies. You have to trust their experience. They know what they're doing out there. I don't think it's a challenge for us. We just have to pitch better."
* Catcher Mitch Canham made his second appearance as a pitcher in Thursday's blowout loss to New Britain. That makes two scoreless mound visits for the Senators this year, and he's allowed just one run in 7.1 career innings, all at the Double-A level. Said Daubach: "Actually he's pitched an inning or two [almost] every year, so it's not like it's his first time out there. He's able to locate his fastball. [He even] threw a slider tonight to the guy who's wearing us out, [Kennys] Vargas, [whom he retired on a routine flyout]."
Friday coverage: Tim Leone will be on board through the weekend for Senators coverage. Follow Tim on Twitter (@timleone) for updates and observations. Sens broadcasters Terry Byrom (@hbgsensradio) and Perry Mattern (@pmattern7) will have the call on 1460-AM and online here beginning at 6:45.
Elsewhere in the Eastern League today:
* Portland vs. Altoona (at Portland, completion of suspended game from June 11)
* Binghamton at Bowie, 6:35
* Reading at New Britain, 6:35
* Altoona at Portland, 7
* New Hampshire at Trenton, 7:05
* Richmond at Erie, 7:05
New Britain 13, Harrisburg 5 -- box score -- game recap (with video highlights)
* Jim Zimmerman, longtime scoreboard operator, celebrates his 70th birthday at Metro Bank Park
* Previewing Saturday's UCP auction on City Island
Eastern League roundup (standings):
* Binghamton 6, Richmond 0 -- Mets RHP Tyler Pill 8 ip, 4 h, 0 r, 0 bb, 9 k, win, 3-for-3, two runs, double, home run, four RBIs (yes, all him)
* Akron 3, Reading 2 -- Ducks SS Francisco Lindor 2-for-5, double, triple, two RBIs
* New Hampshire 7, Altoona 6 (11) -- Fisher Cats 3B Andy Burns walk-off RBI single with one out in the bottom of the 11th

A PROPOSAL to require food labelling of even tiny quantities of genetically-modified (GM) ingredients would result in all foods being labelled as possibly containing GM material, an industry body says.
Matthew Cossey, chief executive of the pro-GM plant science organisation CropLife, said companies would do that to limit liability for possibly breaching labelling laws.
He said testing was sufficiently advanced to show up even tiny quantities of GM material in food.
"I would think you would nearly get to the safe position that they simply put on the label on everything that this may contain GM material to ensure that they don't expose themselves to any action," he told a parliamentary committee.
Greens' senator Rachel Siewert suggested this was an admission that GM material was right through the food supply chain.
"That's what you are arguing," she said.
Mr Cossey agreed, but he added that GM material hadn't entered the food supply chain until it was proven to be safe.
He said CropLife believed there was no need for the mandatory labelling of GM food ingredients.
The Senate community affairs legislation committee is considering a bill, proposed by Senator Siewert and independent senator Nick Xenophon, which would require development of a standard for the labelling of genetically-modified material, irrespective of the amount or how it came to be present.
Current food labelling laws do not require label disclosure of GM content of less than one per cent.

By Andrew M. Seaman
Children whose mothers pay close attention to how much time they spend watching TV and playing video games tend to weigh less, according to a new study.
Researchers found that mothers who were more active in their media supervision had children who were thinner at age 7 and who gained less weight over the next few years.
"At this point we can say there is an association but we cannot say exactly why," Stacey Tiberio, the study's lead author from the Oregon Social Learning Center in Eugene, told Reuters Health. Continue reading

2008? are you crazy? and they don't procrastinate..they have a small "group" working on the game and they're working very hard, so if you don't know then don't say anything
major tom, either your making up stuff or your severely misguided and i guess if your are niether of these nintendo is is making a huge mistake Nintendo didn't even get the idea of this game until e3 2005, they prolly didnt get to work on it until maybe late summer or early fall at the earliest. If we saw an april launch they would have a little over 18 months to do the project, which is adequate...for a DECENT game. Plus we've seen how nintendo likes to procastinate releasing games for as long as possible.
LIke is said, there is no chance that we get the game until oct, maybe not till 2008.
Thanks Star Striker for the sig.

2008? are you crazy? and they don't procrastinate..they have a small "group" working on the game and they're working very hard, so if you don't know then don't say anything
i guess i didnt really mean procrastinate i meant to say that they dont release the game until they think the game is 100% perfect. And im only saying 2008 because of the whole zelda thing, im pretty sure we will see it between oct. or nov.
Thanks Star Striker for the sig.

I predict and hope that it will be Late May or June. They can't wait till Fall. Thats way to long and I think Nintendo knows how much is riding on this game. If its launch goes well, Nintendo will continue to build on its already ginormous sucess and its popularity will skyrocket. People who haven't bought the Wii yet will go get it just to play Super Smash Bros Brawl. So I have confidence that we won't wait a ridiculous amount of time for the game to come out. I mean seriously do you guys actually think they'll wait until 2008!?
yea, im pretty confident with Best Buys release date because i week b4 they announced it a game shop employee(dont remeber name of it, i was outta town) told me that they and a lot of electronic business were trying to make a deal with nintendo to get the release date so they can start making reservations.
Dont SHOW SPOILER!!Spoiler Alert!cant you read, DONT SHOW SPOILERSpoiler Alert!r u freakin illiterate?Spoiler Alert!*sigh* guess u rSpoiler Alert!havent u heard of curiosity killed the Wii CHAT member...Spoiler Alert!...read a book or somethin...Spoiler Alert!ok fine, you can show all the spoilers u want now...
Agreed I still don't understand why Wii would rush release at the expense of the first games which happen to be some of the best not having Online however long it takes for Brawl to come out I'm okay with that I'm actually happy that all the good games aren't coming out any time soon two reasons:
1. Gives us something to look forward to and drags out the time we will love the Wii
2. There are about 13 announced games that I want and don't have. Now at brand new that would be $650 and obviously I don't have that much but by next Fall I might
but I really hope that they continue to produce good games the game cube stopped keeping a good flow of games coming 2 years prior to the release of the Wii here's what they should make
1. Two more Zelda games but keep changing the style of game play maybe an RPG part of the reason I love the Zelda series so much is that every game has been different
2. Another Super Smash Bros. game I know that they have stuck to one per console and Brawl isn't even out yet so it's too early for anticipation but I think they could manage to fit two in by the time Nintendo finds a way to further advance their console
3. I would like to see Time Crisis or something along those lines House of Dead maybe
4. A new Nintendo FPS something that could compare to Halo or GoW
5. An MMO like WoW that would be so cool it would settle both my addictions even though it would probably never happen maybe Blizzard could join up with Nintendo and make WoW for the Wii but then again I would like to see Nintendo do something
Well that about does it for me
First off until the Company announces the date can be changed and Nintendo has been changing dates like crazy (like Dragon Quest, Sonic and Wii Play)Originally Posted by hadou17
So just because Best Buy says this is the date that means shit. Next if it was coming out in a month where's some new video's??? They annouced nothing since November, He'll we know more about Halo 3 than we know about the new Super Smash so I really think Best Buy is wrong and needs to be like Game FL and put (to be announced)
-No External Links
I was on www.Amazon.com they are really good about release dates and such. So I searched Super Smash Brawl (You can follow these steps if you want to check) There was an Icon of the Brawl thing so I clicked on it if it was coming out in the next month there would have been a pre-order option instead there was an option to sign up to get an E-Mail telling you when it was available that is Pre-Pre-Ordering so if Best Buy is allowing Pre-Orders without knowing a release date that sound pretty sketch to me. Guys I'm on your side here I would love for Brawl to come out tomorrow but at the same time you have to realize that it's not and by spending all your time anticipating it your taking the fun out of your games play Melee for now it's the same setup and from what I hear Brawl may not even use the Wii Remotes functions.
from what i heard, Brawl is coming out in june. not sure though

You're trapped in this town
And it wears you down
When we leave today maybe you'll understand
That this constant struggle isn't always in the palm of our hands."
