The emulator opens automatically set in 4:3 fullscreen and is stuck on the white Unity splash screen.
I got this error log after the crash.
I tried using the newest version of 3DNes to see if the second palace looks any better. Unfortunately this was not the case.
This time, however, I brought screenshots.
I also have a save-state file if anyone wants to explore the glitch.
I've run into a bit of a problem. I cannot separate the background and the walls/floor of the second palace.
This means that Link must exist either in front of both the background and the ground he stands on, or behind both. Neither is pleasing.
I wish I had screen shots to demonstrate the problem, but I (stupidly) forgot to take them and I'm not ready to spend ~2 hours to get back to that point (for now, at least).
Look at this picture from the original. Now imagine that the background was (instead of bricks) a bunch of chains whose width scales the entire z-axis (from behind the red blocks to in front of Link).
This is strange because the first palace does about the same thing but can be separated just fine.
Is this a bug with 3DNes or some unfortunate effect of the way Zelda II was programmed?
Unfortunately I don't think I'm skilled enough at Zelda II to get all the way through the game.
To be honest, I can't even beat the game with saving progress and a friend to help.
I might be able to set aside some time this week to reach beyond where I left off last time but I don't think I could ever reach the end in one run.
I recorded about 2 hours of gameplay and trimmed it down to about 10 minutes.
Hmm. The village looks fine on my end. Maybe I kept a bunch of the tiles at an "undefined" layer on accident.

One of the most interesting success stories of the new wave of headphone audiophila is Audeze. The company, which specializes in planar magnetic headphones with wooden ear cups, luxurious appointments, and you're-got-to-hear-it-to-believe-it sonics. We got a chance recently to spend some time with their flagship, the LCD-3 ($1,945), a headphone that's become the top choice for many of today's personal audio enthusiasts. Obviously, we needed to hear why.
In the unlikely event I ever again decide to pick a fight, it'll be with someone who looks weaker than me. Obviously, Audio-Technica has a lot more guts than I do.
Audiofly is a cool new brand with a retro look. Its website is filled with pix of recent-vintage tattooed hipsters, but its IEMs have molded-plastic perf grilles reminiscent of the 1960s portable radios I grew up with.
When I'm asked to pick my favorite headphones for S&V's Editor's Choice awards, it's always easy. I just make a list of the ones I kept using after the review was done—the ones I listened to even when I didn't have to. After our test of affordable audiophile headphones last year, the headphone I kept on using afterward was the AudioTechnica ATH-AD900. It's a big, comfortable, spacious-sounding, tonally neutral open-back headphone. Just the thing for streaming Internet radio for hours while I'm writing, or to use for an all-night-long Netflix binge.
That's why I was so happy to find a successor to the ATH-AD900 at the January CES show. The ATH-AD900X has the same list price, pretty much the same specs, and similar looks.
There are speaker companies better-known than B&W, but I doubt any has a more enviable reputation. B&Ws have been a fave of audiophiles and recording engineers for decades. But the best indicator of B&W's rep would probably be a walk through an audio show in China, where you'll see no other speaker brand so brazenly copied.
Nowadays, though, B&W seems focused on compact and portable products, such as its Zeppelin Air and P5 and C5 headphones. Can't blame B&W for wanting to surf the market trends, but headphones, especially, are so different from speakers that a company's expertise in one is little indicator of skill in the other.
All three of the products I just mentioned have received rave reviews, though. That praise gives us great hope for the P3, a smaller, more portable, $100-less-expensive version of the P5.
Has there ever been a headphone brand so controversial as Beats? It's undeniably popular; just walk around any downtown or airport in any industrialized country and you're almost sure to see a set. Yet audio enthusiasts-including the ones at Sound & Vision-often deride Beats' sound quality.
When Bell'O announced that they were getting into the audio business, I fully expected them to come out with a line of speakers that matched some of their home theater furniture.
When I attend trade shows, I'm always reluctant to ask for a review sample of a new product. 'Cause who knows if I'll see something cooler around the corner? But when I saw the Custom One Pro at the recent Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver, I asked Beyerdynamic's Pete Carini to send me a sample ASAP. After a quick listen to the Custom One Pro, I knew there was no way I'd find a more interesting headphone that weekend.
To reviewers, accusations of bias are just part of the gig. Commenting readers have insisted we're biased against certain brands, biased against in-ear monitors, biased against headphones with lots of bass, biased against headphones with flat bass, even biased against headphones from non-California companies.
This is an article I never thought I'd write. I sold hi-fi (well, Circuit City's version of "hi-fi") within sight of The Mountain. I developed early an audiophile's distain for the four-letter marketing juggernaut. When I began reviewing audio, I couldn't imagine a situation where I'd review a Bose product. Certainly not something like the market-leading QuietComfort 15 noise-canceling headphone, Not without heavy doses of irony, snark, and derision.
And yet, it is my fiduciary duty to give credit where credit is due.
So behold — not only my first review of a Bose product, but a positive one at that.
If you're sick of trying to choose among dozens of lookalike IEMs in the racks at electronics stores, you'll find the C5 to be welcome relief. This IEM resembles nothing else on the market. The back of each titanium earpiece holds B&W's Micro Porous Filter, a layer of hundreds of tiny steel balls that the company says works as a sonic diffuser.
Thanks to Bose's overwhelming success in the category, most of us now think of noise-cancelling headphones as products that cost about $300. I'm sure every other headphone company would like to thank Bose for that, even if none of them ever will. But there's really no reason that a noise-cancelling headphone has to cost so much.
When we got our hands on the latest iteration of Denon's flagship headphone, the AH-D7000, we had no idea it would be the end of the line for these spectacular wooden-cupped cans (and for the entire Dx000 series, at least as we know it today). Suffice it to say that however curious we are to learn what the Denon headphone design team has up its collective sleeve, we will be sad to see 'em go.
We've talked a fair amount in this space lately about how much of a difference a headphone amplifier can make in your portable listening. Whether it's correcting for out-of-whack output impedance or simply providing more juice for difficult-to-drive cans (here's looking at you, on-the-go planar magnetic fans), you can get a better experience for surprisingly little money, with a wide range of pocketable amplifiers on the market right now, ready to interface with your iDevices, Androids, and other portable media devices. Here we look at two interesting and affordable newish devices: the latest miniature amp from FiiO, the E02i, or "Rocky," and the latest incarnation of DigiZoid's unique ZO2.

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms — such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Many organisms live in and on our bodies. They're normally harmless or even helpful, but under certain conditions, some organisms may cause disease. Some infectious diseases can be passed from person to person. Some are transmitted by bites from insects or animals. And others are acquired by ingesting contaminated food or water or being exposed to organisms in the environment. Signs and symptoms vary depending on the organism causing the infection, but often include fever and fatigue. Mild infections may respond to rest and home remedies, while some life-threatening infections may require hospitalization. Many infectious diseases, such as measles and chickenpox, can be prevented by vaccines. Frequent and thorough hand-washing also helps protect you from most infectious diseases.

Why One Should Disdain Hardships
A Lecture by Musonius, the Stoic of Ancient Rome
Musonius Rufus
Editorial Note:
here are four great Stoic philosophers of ancient Rome, whose lessons are especially significant in the 21st century. Three of them are well-known and their writings can be found in good bookshops around the world: Lucius Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Epictetus. The fourth one, however - Musonius Rufus (28? - 100 or 102, C.E.) - is still little known. Yet he is as great as any Stoic could be.
Helena P. Blavatsky quotes Epictetus several times in her writings; and Epictetus is one of the best known disciples of Musonius. He adopted the same pedagogical method and followed the steps of Musonius in concentrating his attention on ethics, or "right living".
Musonius' teachings certainly belong in any theosophical library. The following transcription is taken from a work that is available online.
Another version of the same transcription is included in a little-known book.
Original title of the online version: "That One Should Disdain Hardships".
(Carlos Cardoso Aveline)
. See Lecture 7.
"Musonius Rufus", translated by Cynthia King, with a preface by William B. Ervine, CreateSpace, Lexington, KY, USA, 2011, copyright 2010, 101 pp., see pp. 38-39. Another good book is "Musonius Rufus and Education in the Good Life", J. T. Dillon, University Press of America, Dallas, Lanham, Boulder, New York, Oxford, 2004, 101 pp.
Why One Should Disdain Hardships
Musonius Rufus
n order to support more easily and more cheerfully those hardships which we may expect to suffer in behalf of virtue and goodness, it is useful to recall what hardships people will endure for unworthy ends.
Thus for example consider what intemperate lovers undergo for the sake of evil desires, and how much exertion others expend for the sake of making profit, and how much suffering those who are pursuing fame endure, and bear in mind that all of these people submit to all kinds of toil and hardship voluntarily. Is it not then monstrous that they for no honorable reward endure such things, while we for the sake of the ideal good - that is not only the avoidance of evil such as wrecks our lives, but also the acquisition of virtue, which we may call the provider of all goods - are not ready to bear every hardship?
And yet would not anyone admit how much better it is, in place of exerting oneself to win someone else's wife, to exert oneself to discipline one's desires; in place of enduring hardships for the sake of money, to train oneself to want little; instead of giving oneself trouble about getting notoriety, to give oneself trouble how not to thirst for notoriety; instead of trying to find a way to injure an envied person, to inquire how not to envy anyone; and instead of slaving, as sycophants do, to win false friends, to undergo suffering in order to possess true friends?
Now, since, in general, toil and hardship are a necessity for all men, both for those who seek the better ends and for those who seek the worse, it is preposterous that those who are pursuing the better are not much more eager in their efforts than those for whom there is small hope of reward for all their pains.
Yet when we see acrobats face without concern their difficult tasks and risk their very lives in performing them, turning somersaults over up-turned swords or walking ropes set at a great height or flying through the air like birds, where one misstep means death, all of which they do for a miserably small recompense, shall we not be ready to endure hardship for the sake of complete happiness? For surely there is no other end in becoming good than to become happy and to live happily for the remainder of our lives.
One might reasonably reflect upon characteristics even of certain animals which are very well calculated to shame us into endurance of hardships. At all events, cocks and quails, although they have no understanding of virtue as man has and know neither the good nor the just and strive for none of these things, nevertheless fight against each other and even when maimed stand up and endure until death so as not to submit the one to the other.
How much more fitting, then, it is that we stand firm and endure, when we know that we are suffering for some good purpose, either to help our friends or to benefit our city, or to defend our wives and children, or, best and most imperative, to become good and just and self-controlled, a state which no man achieves without hardships.
And so it remains for me to say that the man who is unwilling to exert himself almost always convicts himself as unworthy of good, since "we gain every good by toil."
These words and others like them Musonius then spoke, exhorting and urging his listeners to look upon hardship with disdain.

Most oft-told tales of cat-fights instead of friendship make way out of the world of glitz and glamour. But Sonakshi Sinha has no qualms in appreciating her fellow counterparts. The actress says her contemporaries Kangana Ranaut and Alia Bhatt are "fantastic".
The actress, who likes to call herself "Shotgun Junior", also shared that there is just one movie that she wanted to do and that was 'Queen'.
During a live chat session on Twitter, when some of the users asked questions like "who's that contemporary actress you admire the most?" and "Is there a role you wish you could have done?", the "Son of Sardaar" actress said: "I think Alia and Kangana are fantastic!"
Sonakshi, who is often seen in jovial roles in films like 'Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty', earned appreciation with her serious act in 'Lootera'.
