Found this Vilana varietal in a dumpy store whilst in the mountains last weekend. Obscure location, in the middle of nowhere surrounded by the Rocky Mountains.
$14 Cdn, 12% alc, cheap looking cork. This white is a blend of Vilana, Thrapsathiri and Attiri.
Color is a pale straw, no green. On the nose I found some grapefruit, apple and some peach. I was expecting something quite acidic but overall crisp, refreshing and requires some seafood I think. Sure there is some acidity here but the apple, pear and citrus element all blended together nicely on the finish. Pretty good effort.
On day 2, finished remnants with some grilled pork chops on the BBQ and wine had softened nicely. Comfort food in those there hills!

The Velocity channel is about to share a little bit of Utah subculture with America, and it's not what you might expect.
The new series "Kings of Crash" is all about folks obsessed with building and crashing cars. All about what goes into making demolition derby exciting and believe it or not distinctive to Utah.
"You guys are going to get a glimpse of derby, Utah-style," said TJ McPhee, a derby enthusiast and one of the stars of the show. "It's really unique to Utah. It's not like everywhere else where you've got a bunch of rednecks wrecking Grandma's car."
McPhee and his friends and competitors aren't under any illusions. They know what most people's perception of demolition derby is, and they know the series is accompanied by hillbillyish music and features a narrator with a Southern accent.
Velocity's attraction to Utah demolition derby is due to the difference from what you'll find on the East Coast and Midwest. In Utah, they put 10 cars in the arena at a time. Back East, they'll put 25 or 30, which means much less room to maneuver and much lower speeds, and heats that last an hour or two.
In Utah, drivers have to make a hit every 60-90 seconds. The heats are 10-12 minutes long; the main competitions are 7 minutes long. "We have all this space," said James "Gumby" Simko. "And when you have space, it creates havoc."
Added McPhee: "That's when you see a good show."
Not surprisingly, there's a Mormon element to this Utah-based show. Simko aka the Stormin' Mormon said he's "out to prove Mormons do have fun" and dispel other stereotypes.
"I don't have a bunch of wives,"said Simko, a serious driver who also serves as the show's comic relief. "Heck, I can't even seem to land one of them."
To outsiders, the derby crowd can seem a bit obsessed. More than a bit, actually. Just listen to Katy and Ryan Sweat. "The first day I got to watch Ryan drive in a derby was the day after our first child was born," said Katy Sweat, who is also a driver. "He was going to leave me at the hospital, and I didn't want to be there. We had gotten the job done, so it was time to go home."
Ryan Sweat: "I told her, 'You either have the baby before the derby, or after the derby.' "
Clearly, "derby mentality," as Simko would say.
Filmed in the summer of 2012, "Kings of Crash" follows a group of Utahns as they build their cars and compete in a series of derbies. The competitions are jaw-droppingly crazy, with collisions you can almost feel through the TV. It's not exactly safe, but it's not as dangerous as it looks, the drivers insist.
"I feel safer in that derby car than going down the freeway," said Ryan's brother, driver Mont Sweat."I honestly do. We put cages in these things. We wear seatbelts. We're padded. We put padding all over. We wear helmets, gloves. Some guys even go so far as to wear fire suits.
"But we're sore the next day," he added with a laugh. "Don't get me wrong."
The show also reveals some family drama. Ryan and Katy Sweat say they are in it together, but the time and money that go into demolition derby cause conflict in some other families.
It's more than a hobby. Competitors may spend 60-80 hours a week working on their cars, which can cost between $4,000 and $7,000. "And that's minimal build without getting too crazy," McPhee said.
The voice-over on "Kings of Crash" tells viewers that the prize money is better in Utah than in other parts of the country as much as $5,000 for first place. But the show doesn't explain that the expense required to be competitive means derby competitions are far from money-making operations.
"Understand, you can get into a derby a lot cheaper than that," Simko said. "But if you want to be competitive if you want to have some fun you have to invest."
It's a measure of the competitiveness of the drivers that the Mad Dog trophy given to the most aggressive driver may well be more highly prized than first place, even though it pays considerably less $750 in the first episode.
"I'd like the money, sure," Ryan Sweat said. "But winning Mad Dog is bigger to me."
"Kings of Crash" is proving to be a revelation, even to the people in it. The footage of the competition some of it shot by cameras mounted inside the cars is nothing short of astonishing.
"When you're in a car, you do not have a clue what your body's doing," Simko said. "But when Velocity put the cameras in our cars and we saw it for the first time, we were, like, 'Oh my gosh.'
"I thought, 'I don't want the wife to see this because she's not going to let me do it anymore.' "
On TV
"Kings of Crash" premieres Sunday, Feb. 10, at 8 and 11 p.m. on Velocity. Episodes will repeat Tuesdays at 8 and 11 p.m. In Utah, Velocity is on Channel 663 on Comcast; Channel 281 on DirecTV; and Channel 364 on Dish Network.

Two men wanted for questioning in a concealed-weapon investigation were arrested Friday morning after leading officers in a pursuit from South Los Angeles through Harbor Gateway and into Rancho Palos Verdes, police said.
The pursuit began around 2:15 a.m. after officers on patrol in South Los Angeles spotted a silver Mercedes Benz. They believed the same car had been involved in a pursuit Wednesday after a witness reported seeing someone place a firearm, possibly a MAC-10 submachine gun, in the back, said Lt. Manny Santoyo of the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Street Station.
The driver of the car had eluded police Wednesday night, and officers who tried to pull over a car matching the vehicle's description on Thursday broke off pursuit when the driver began speeding dangerously.
The Mercedes was spotted again early Friday morning in Watts, but officers lost track of the car, Santoyo said.
An LAPD air unit, however, spotted the vehicle and followed it as it sped southbound, then northbound on the San Diego (405) Freeway, he said. The car then got on the southbound Harbor (110) Freeway and exited in Harbor Gateway with the helicopter and patrol cars in pursuit, Santoyo said.
The Mercedes jumped a curb and hit a garage in the 2100 block of Redondela Drive in Rancho Palos Verdes, and the driver and a passenger fled on foot, he said.
Officers chased down both men, in their late 20s, and arrested them around 3 a.m., he said, adding a loaded shotgun was found in the back of the Mercedes.

TS Gabrielle Reborn & Humberto Gains Power
Bermuda is preparing for the arrival of Tropical Storm Gabrielle.
The British territory suspended ferry services on Tuesday as wind and rain started to pick up.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami says tropical storm conditions are expected late Tuesday, with up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) of rain predicted.
The storm was centered 165 miles (265 kilometers) south of Bermuda at midmorning and was moving north at 14 mph (22 kph) with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph). Gabrielle is expected to strengthen in the next two days and pass over or near Bermuda by Wednesday morning.
Gabrielle reformed overnight and will not affect our weather here in South Florida and the Treasure Coast.
Farther east over the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Humberto's maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph (100 kph) and the storm is expected to become a hurricane as soon as Tuesday, though, we won't have to deal with that storm either. It is expected to stay off the African coast.

I can definitely say that it was really difficult the first couple of months. In the end, I had a great host family and made some good friends that I still keep in contact with. But the first couple of months were some of the hardest of my life.

>Technical Support>Possible to export from mapmyrun?
I sent the mapmyrun support people an email, but wanted to see if anyone here has been successful. I have 129 workouts in there, and I don't want to have to recreate them here manually, but I want to switch to the log here. Thanks!
My running blog
Goals | sub-18 5k | sub-3 marathon
Well, for anyone that is wondering, I received a reply from the mapmyrun support staff, and it is not possible to export your workouts from mmr, only your maps. I really like the log format here tho, so I think I'm going to import my maps and get to work on manually entering all of my workouts so I can start tracking over here.
not lazy, just tired
All my runs are on Garmin Connect. I haven't seen a way to import from there, so I'm working on manually entering them here. Not sure how far back I'll go.
Not if it makes sense.
At one time, MMR allows you to export your data, but you need to have a premium (paying) account. I see that as extortion because it is your data, regardless of the User Agreement. Even when you can download your data, it only contains only a few fields. Ever since their "upgrade", they removed the ability to download even if you pay.
As for Garmin Connect, RA can import directly from it. It is still experimental, which is why you don't see that option yet. I'll send you a private message with the link to get things started.
Eric, I'd appreciate it if you could pm that link to me to be able to directly import my Garmin Connect online data to RA.
Train smart ... race smarter.
Eric, I'll take that link as well please. I'll be getting a Garmin for Christmas and would like to import the data here. Thanks!
Eric, I'll take that link as well please. I'll be getting a Garmin for Christmas and would like to import the data here. Thanks!
I don't think you'll need it, unless you want to use two logs. You can import directly from your Garmin to RunningAhead.
I'm looking for people to beta test a tool to export data from MapMyRun and into RunningAhead. You can also download a csv of data from MMR. This uses the API from MMR and RA, so no usernames / passwords touch my site and all data is temporary. Send me a message and I'll send you a link to the site - I want to work out any bugs before releasing it to everyone.

EVERETT — A third person is facing a murder charge in connection with the April 23 stabbing death of Luis Verudzco.
Prosecutors allege that Martin Salazar was present when Verduzco, 23, was robbed, stabbed and pushed from a vehicle in Everett.
Verduzco's body was discovered outside a vacant house off Broadway.
Salazar, 42, was arrested in February after detectives learned that he allegedly was with Derek Donnelly and Lathana Neese at the time of the killing, court papers said.
Witnesses told detectives that Donnelly was looking for someone to rob of drugs. Donnelly reportedly often referred to himself as a "stick-up kid," prosecutors wrote.
The suspects are accused of arranging to meet with Verduzco, telling him they wanted to buy some methamphetamine. Investigators believe the group picked up Verduzco and drove around for awhile, smoking meth.
Donnelly later reportedly grabbed Verduzco from behind and repeatedly stabbed him.
Salazar told police he was a passenger in the Dodge Durango and witnessed the stabbing. He said Verduzco attempted to jump from the vehicle at one point, but Salazar grabbed him because the Durango was going about 35 mph, according to court papers. He said he helped Donnelly clean up blood in the Durango after it broke down on the freeway.
Salazar told detectives he heard a couple of days later that Verduzco had died.

Primaloft Packaway Jacket:
Featherweight Champion of the World
Everyone has heard that good things come in small packages, but we set out to prove just how many good things you can fit into one.
We came up with a jacket you can wear year-round, as a layer in winter or a jacket in spring and fall and cool summer nights. The warmth comes from lofty 60-gram PrimaLoft One polyester insulation, along with ultralight ripstop nylon that helps resist wind and weather without restricting mobility. Elastic cuffs and a drawcord hem keep body heat from escaping.
The light-yet-dense materials we used to construct this jacket make it not only lightweight it weighs just 12 ounces, less than a can of soda but also highly compressible. The jacket packs into its own pocket to about the size of a water bottle, so it takes up minimal space in your pack, in your car or hanging on your coatrack wherever you think you might need an extra layer.
Spring jacket, fall jacket, winter layer, wind and weather resistant shell, emergency jacket that fits just about anywhere that's a lot for one small package, and for a lot less than you might expect.

Can It Be? Is Russell Brand Really Dating Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell?
Did the latest celeb couple alert concerning Russell Brand and Geri Halliwell make anyone else go, "whaaa?"
-Lucia Peters
Russell Brand apparently did more than photobomb the Spice Girls in Mel B's backstage TwitPic at the Olympics this summer—it looks like he hooked up with one, too. Or did he?
According to UK tabloid The Sun, Russell fell for Geri Halliwell, the once and future Ginger Spice, during rehearsals for the Olympic closing ceremony earlier this month. Although he had been linked to Isabella Brewster, the younger sister of Dallas star Jordana Brewster, earlier in the summer, he's said to have broken things off with her in favor of Geri. A "close pal" allegedly told The Sun, "Things are getting serious between them—they're a proper couple now. They had met several times in the past, but really got to know each other during the Olympics. People thought Russell was joking at the time," the "pal" continued, "when he said he had a crush on Geri all over again, but it was true. They just clicked—they have so much in common." Raise your hand if you're curious as to what exactly those common traits and/or interests are.
Read Want to Dress Like Kate Middleton? There's an App for That
Rumor has it that the pair were seen laughing, joking, and holding hands during a private guided tour of London's Hampton Court Palace last Saturday. Geri's six-year-old daughter, Bluebell Madonna, was in attendance as well; you can catch an extremely blurry pic of the three of them over at The Sun's website.
So: Are the rumors true? Well, this IS largely The Sun we're talking about, and… well, let's just say that sometimes the veracity of their claims is somewhat questionable. Us Weekly also appears to have spoken to a source who has confirmed Russell and Isabella's breakup, although the source neglected to confirm whether Geri and Russell are now an item. Meanwhile, another source apparently told E! Online that the two Brits are just friends and have just been hanging out occasionally.
In between all these crazy rumors, Russell is busybusybusy touring his latest stand-up show, while Geri is busybusybusy being a mum and getting her next album, Putting On the Bling, ready for release.
Tell us: What do you think? Are Russell and Geri a couple—and if so, are they a match made in heaven?

A perfect 10
I'm going to try to say this in my best movie-preview-guy voice.
More than 100 exhibitors.
More than 130 presentations.
Nearly 2,000 people in attendance.
These factors together are what makes the Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 10X a perfect 10.
With 101 exhibitors, 132 presentations and 1,962 people in attendance over the three-day event (roughly a 9 percent uptick in attendance), SCALE 10X nailed it. I'm going to let Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier take the helm here on this one, since his blog item on the event is outstanding and is something I can't improve on.
But do you think, for a moment, that would stop me from giving some impressions of the show?
Yeah, I'm that guy: OK, so if I thought so many people were that interested, I would have made a bigger deal about it; maybe even holding a press conference or something. But yes, I am now primarily a CrunchBang GNU/Linux user and advocate after ramping down my activities with the Fedora Project (though I did use my pull as a former Fedora Ambassador to help out a Fedoran stuck at the hotel). As I mentioned to just about everyone I saw at the show who asked me about it — that's about 90 percent of the folks I regularly see at shows — there were really two factors involved: a.) I really like CrunchBang a lot since I started using it six months ago, and I think the distro, their lead developer Philip Newborough, and their community have a lot going for them, and b.) under the skillful guidance of Mark Terranova and Scott Williams and other Fedoristas in California, I don't think I'll be missed by the Fedora Project all that much.
There. I'm glad we had this little talk. Now go and try CrunchBang — it's great.
Hey, don't I know you? After years of talking with some people through e-mails and online, I finally got to meet a few in person. Both keynoters — Greg DeKoenigsberg and Selena Deckelmann (both of whom did great jobs on their Saturday and Sunday keynotes respectively) — have seen my e-mails but only saw my face for the first time (and me theirs) over the weekend. And also I made a trivia question of Rick Moen, who made it down to L.A. from our neck of the woods in the Silicon Valley, and whom I met for the first time. In a fashion statement worthy of note, Rick only wore T-shirts of software no longer with us — the Caldera shirt on Friday was a nice touch, Rick!
Filling some big shoes: Yours truly took control of the media side of things for SCALE 10X, since Orv Beach was teaching the Linux Beginners Class this year. I know that Orv consistently puts in yeoman's work on the show every year, but I didn't realize the volume of releases and announcements sent out during the show. I didn't get to the expo floor until late Saturday afternoon at the earliest, and I hope I did the show proud in running all things media. Drafting Jason Riker and LXer's Scott Ruecker (no relation, though names are pronounced the same) to help out was a plus. I've also gained a new appreciation for Twitter and, yes, yours truly now can condense a message down to 140 characters.
Best. Compliment. Ever. So during one lap around on the show floor, seeing if anyone needed anything in the way of publicity and the like, I had one exhibtor, a woman, tell me this: "This is a great show. In fact, I worked AVS and this show is much better than that one." I thought I was more worldly than I am, apparently, becuase I had to ask: "AVS?" "Adult Video Show," she replied. Ah. So noted. On that note, there's nothing that can beat that.
Except maybe SCALE 11X next year.

January 25, 2012 at 6:58 am
Thank you Mr. Free Software Guy, and Zonker. While I don't feel like I was
in attendance I can feel a kinship with those who were.
It sounds like the whole show was very well planned and run.
How were the sessions for the younger set? That seemed on paper to
be a winner.
Y'all are invited to the TX Linux Fest in Austin. End of March or early April.

Guest book review by Peter J. Wolf
There's little doubt that we Americans love our pets. According to the American Pet Products Association, we'll spend an estimated $45.4 billion on our non-human dependents this year alone. And what do we get in return? Well, that's not so easily put into dollars-and-cents terms. The value our pets bring to our lives is, of course—both literally and figuratively—immeasurable. Thankfully, we have authors like Ingrid King to remind us of this fact.
In Buckley's Story: Lessons from a Feline Master Teacher, King introduces us to Buckley, a tortoiseshell cat rescued from a farm in southwest Virginia who'd become the office cat in the veterinary hospital King managed. Despite her rough and tumble past–or perhaps because of it–Buckley took to her new life with great enthusiasm (though not without some of the expected "tortitude"). "Buckley loved everyone," writes King. "She checked out anyone who came into the office and, with rare exceptions, she would end up in a visitor's lap."
When King left to start her own business (using Reiki on pets), she was astonished by how much she missed her office buddy. "While there had been animals I had come across in my years of working at veterinary hospitals who had tugged at my heart strings," King writes, "there had not been one that I fell for as hard and as fast as I fell for Buckley." And so, despite her misgivings about integrating a new cat into the quiet home she shared with her cat Amber, King adopted Buckley.
Amber and Buckley, it seems, knew all along that it was the right move. "I was the only obstacle," recalls King, a self-proclaimed worrier, "in making the process go smoothly." While King was getting settled into her new career, the cats were getting settled into their new lives together. But their easy existence was interrupted when, during a routine visit, Buckley's vet discovered a heart murmur.
Such diagnoses–however unsettling for us humans–seldom mean much to our cats. Indeed, Buckley was thriving with her new family. "The word that probably defined Buckley more than any other," writes King, "was 'joy.'"
"She was a joyful being and she brought joy to everyone who came into contact with her…Her entire being was an expression of joy, and her every activity was infused with the essence of joy. She played, ate and loved with abundance…Buckley demonstrated to me how to find joy in every day. By living in the present without worrying about the future or letting thoughts of the past drag her down, this little cat showed me how to find the small joys in each moment."
Finding those small joys proved increasingly difficult as Buckley's health took a turn for the worse, and King began devoting more and more time to caring for her. The last few chapters of the book, in which King chronicles Buckley's decline, are to be savoredâ€â€though not without a fresh box of tissues at the ready.
. . .
There's something rather magical about certain pets, the ones with which we form an immediate, intense connection. Regardless of how much time we spend with them, they leave an indelible impression. Buckley had been with King for only three years, but, writes King, "I was not prepared for the depth of my grief…it was as deep as if she had been with me my whole life. When these special animals come into our lives and then leave us much too soon, they leave us forever changed."
Buckley's Story is sure to resonate with animal lovers, whether they've suffered the loss of a beloved pet or not. King's memoir illustrates the powerful nature of the human-animal bond, and–in sharing Buckley with the rest of us–reminds us of what we love in each of our own cats.

GameStop is currently listing Watch Dogs and Rainbow 6: Patriots for the Wii U. This wouldn't come as a surprise seeing as how Ubisoft was satisfied with how their Wii U launch titles like Zombi U performed.
It's getting hot in hurr (don't worry, my clothes will remain on) xD!
Watch Dogs would be a much needed hardcore title for Wii U.
I consider myself a Nintendo fan (yes, Nintendo brings my favourite titleS), but I am not happy with the third party support on Nintendo consoles since the N64 days. Nintendo needs to have a better relationship with third party developers and if Watch Dogs is indeed coming to the WiiU, then I am gonna be happy, but if it's not... well, I will just buy it for another console because the game looks sick.
@Hisiru i feel the exact same way.. i've been reading about all these AAA titles coming for PS360 and want to play them BAD. Between Tomb Raider, Bioshock infinite, metal gear & etc. i'm just about ready to buy an 8-y-o console that will be outdated in a half year's time (i generally only buy nint. consoles). Nintendo needs to start investing in their future by partnering with more third party studios RIGHT NOW because in the future i doubt the wii u hardware will be capable of supporting the kind of games that the ps4 and 720 will be able to support.
i have faith that the wii u will inevitably offer "must-have" software, that a price drop will facilitate sales, and that the OS will improve. But will all that be enough to compete with the visually stunning titles and larger game libraries that next gen consoles will have two years from now?
Was the Wii the only console you had this past generation or do you play PC games too?
I'm legitimately curious because I've never met anyone who just had a Wii and were into games enough to go on message boards and such.
Watch Dogs on the Wii U would be amazing. With all the "hacking" and tech using in that game, the gamepad would act as a natural device for it.
I hope that this rumour is true, I would much rather own it on my Wii U than my 360..
This is the kind of game you make for the WiiU. Your phone becomes the gamepad, manage systems, streets, and your map. You could even add a Co-op aspect where one person ues the pro controller for shooting and movement while another is using the gamepad for you, like you're working with someone else to call the shots (the whole asymmetrical gameplay theme Nintendo has)
The WiiU certainly feels like the more dominant version (unless there are things we don't know about)
Great points. The gamepad's potential has yet to be fully realized. Despite the current drought of games but just thinking about the future use of the gamepad has me excited.
Same here. I think it would certainly be a welcome addition. I hope this rumor is true as well, and it's not entirely farfetched to believe it. Ubisoft already pledged further support for the Wii U despite the Rayman Legends fiasco.
When i first saw the gameplay reveal and the hacking mechanic i instantly thought it would be a WiiU title, if not the 'definitive' version. This rumour keeps that hope alive.
the way they described watch dogs and the integration of a second screen it seems it was made with WiiU controller in mind.
Ummm.... interesting... A nice addition to the console if true.
Ubisoft was satisfied with how their launch titles performed, yet they delayed a finished game because they' weren't satisfied with how the console was performing.
That's already a debut but I think that only Ubisoft will support the Wii U ...
Activision, their games can release on Wii U but 95% of people would buy on PS3/360 (and later on PS4/Xbox 3)
And EA/Square won't support
(cf Battlefield, Tomb Raider, etc ...)
NFS just got previewed on wiiu its a NEXGEN NFS game end of pc graphics and some new modes.
Can i remind you that pc version is dx11 so i'm happy with wiiu graphics.
Who cares if it's going to look outdated compared to that PC footage, as long as it comes out for the Wii U then it's all good. I wonder if it'll be hitting next-gen consoles too? *720/PS4* ;)
I think it's only coming to next gen consoles and pc, so I would assume so.
Well Ideaman on NeoGaf said months ago that a next gen game is going to be on the Wii U that people think "won't be able to run on the Wii U" and most people either said this or Star Wars 1313, so it makes sense.
I would love to see Watch Dogs on Wii U, using the gamepad to hack into stuff can be amazing and I hope this is true because Watch Dogs is one of my most hyped games.
Yup I remember that but will have to see what game it is since he didn't say anything specific but maybe when the game is announced he will say something
I actually think it's something else, Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313 are coming out for the PS3/360 correct me if i'm wrong, so if they can handle it then so can the Wii U, if it's a game that most people wouldn't think that could run on the Wii U the only other guess at the moment is The Witcher 3, but i'm 99% sure that won't happen, guess we'll see at E3 what he was talking about.
Wii U will get it's share of multi-platform 3rd party games. More than I can afford, I'm sure. Give it time.
Give it time? Codswallop sir. This is N4G!
In all seriousness, I do agree with you. Some time and a steady stream of games will show up.
well the fact that criterion has brought most wanted over to the WiiU and have taken the time to optimise it for the console bodes well for future games.
I honestly dont think the WiiU will get left behind when the PS4/720 come out like most people think.
Sorry, but no. I can see how Ubisoft would possibly downscale RBS: Patriots so it looks OK on Wii U, but Watchdogs had framedrops even on the NASA PC it was played on during E3. So noooooo, sorry.. I can't imagine Watch Dogs releasing on Wii U.
It was demo, I'm sure the final version will play smoothly on whatever plat is coded for.
Everyone seems to be so down on the wii u, while criterion games seems to be porting over pc level graphics on it.
it's also coming out on PS3/ 360 so it must look even worse on them.but in all seriousness we dont know for certain what it's coming out on yet.
Good for the Wii U. Honestly how can anyone hate on Nintendo.
That's the logical thing to believe. But sadly, people really love hating Nintendo.
Yeah, Nintendo has it real bad. Sony gets all the success articles and its really annoying /s.
People like Sony doom articles more than anything. But I think that a lot of people here are just generally dismissive(Which I think is far worse) regarding Nintendo products.
That said, doom articles need to stop.
Ive played mario houndreds of times when I was younger. Name another exclusive I should buy a nintendo for? (don't say zelda I don't get the hype at all) and don't say any niche japanese games only japanese game I have ever liked is vanquish (as far as memory goes). Whereas with sony I play and love all of the exclusives and guess what first party exclusives make a console.
Not only does the wii u have first party games that don't appeal to me they also have poor 3rd party support. Don't feel you have to defend the wii u because it is the underdog. It's less of an attractive prospect than current gen consoles let alone next gen.
you must be pretty young if all you can think back too is vanquish?
Star Fox, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, Mario Kart are a few exclusives that are worth their purchases. Retro is going to blow us away with whatever they are working on (fingers crossed it's a new Metroid Prime).
No other console manufacturer has sold as many first party games as Nintendo.
The Wii's highest selling game (not including Wii Sports since it was a pack-in) was Mario Kart and it sold over 33 million copies.
The PS3's highest selling game to date is Call of Duty (enough said there) with about 12 million copies sold. Actually 4 of the top 5 selling games on the PS3 are Call of Duty games..
Zelda is probably one of the greatest franchises Nintendo owns, so it's a shame you don't get the hype, but every Zelda game that gets released is in the discussions for GOTY, so there is merit behind all the hype. But to each their own.
It will be neat to see how the Wii U game pad will work with watchdogs if this is true.
Watchdogs trailer was pc but the wiiu version would look a little better i think.
I don't think it'll look better than PC, but I have no doubts that it'll look amazing!
If ubisoft does this right, it might not be the prettiest version (though i'm sure it will be pretty), but it might be the most immersive of the versions
I would really like to play these on my Wii U!
I'm more excited for Rainbow Six then Watch Dogs. I like military shooters, sue me.
It's been so long since we had a Rainbow Six game. Vegas 1 & 2 seem so far away now..
Great games though..
Don't see how the Wii u is powerful enought to run the version shown in the early gameplay videos so possibly the game could be the least graphically intense version
You will be lucky if the next gen consoles can even run it looking like that. That, much like quite a few early demos, was probably running on a pretty high spec rig, the one used for creating the game.
Are you being serious the ps4 and next xbox will produce games that are better than anything pc is pushing out now just like the ps3 did back in 06/07 with games like killzone 2 which looked better than any pc game
That actually probably won't happen unless you want to buy a console worth 700-800$+. The next gen consoles won't be nearly as cutting edge as last gen.
@superterabyte - wow really? I have a 2GB Radeon 7870 in my computer and I doubt the next gen machines will have a graphics card even that good. You think a PS4 or a 720 can go head to head with a GTX690 or something? I appreciate your gusto and support for the next gen machines, but don't delude yourself into thinking that these things will outclass high end PC's..
Let's get the console's up to native 1080p first, then we can strive for 60fps, and then if we get to that point, we can begin to discuss comparisons with the PC versions.
Silly me, I didn't realize that consoles could "push" out better looking games and graphics than the machines they were MADE on. Think about that for a second. I love my consoles, and the unique games they offer, don't get me wrong, but consoles have dated CPU's and GPU's made for cheap general consumer purchase. The PC's that are used to create these games are far and above what the consoles themselves can ever hope to "push" out. It's not opinion, its fact. So yes, I am serious.
I can see games that aren't coming out this year hitting the Wii u, but if they also come out on the PS4/720 then I'll just get them there
Watch Dogs looked great But the HUD was very crowded-
- But don't worry the WiiU has a Fix for that...
hm intradesting . I thought they were only for ps4/ the new xbox
The last time a list like this was leaked several games on said list were reveled to be true a day or two later. Lighting just might strike twice.
Guys the person who posted this claimed to work at gamestop.. game stop doesn't print their release dates like that. The paper is also incorrect. This was some troll. Who know you can post anything on the internet and people will believe it.
Nothing on the list is a system seller to me that I can't play on the PS3 or 360. I would like a Wii U but my Wii sat and collected dust. I just don;t want to go through that again, waiting for a Zelda title or Metroid.

The last two great acts of judgment
Chapters 33, 34 announce the last two great acts of judgment. At the moment when God establishes Himself in Zion, and fills it with righteousness, a final and powerful enemy (whom I believe to be the same as the Gog of Ezekiel), who had come up to spoil the land, appears on the scene. But there are those who wait upon Jehovah, and He arises, and the enemy is put to flight. They gather the spoil of those who thought to despoil Israel. In verses 14, 15, the faithful remnant are distinguished. The Messiah appears in His beauty; and, all being at peace after the destruction of this enemy, the most distant parts of the land are open to the inhabitants of Zion, which is established in safety for ever.
Chapter 34 reveals the terrible judgments which will fall upon the other nations in Edom (compare chap. 63). [1] Here it is those who have oppressed Zion, and the vengeance that God takes on oppressors. Idumea is itself the particular object of this; but all the enemies of Israel, who were associated with Edom, the armies of the nations assembled against Jerusalem, will perish by the judgment of Jehovah in the land of Edom.
[1] Compare also Psalm 83 and Obadiah.

I carried on driving home when it happened again. I was so shocked I nearly crashed the car. I looked over and there were the eyes looking at me, then disappeared.
I went back to the Chinese to and said " What the hell is going on with my takeaway I ordered"

Bauer sent to Tribe in three-team deal
D-backs trade their top prospect, obtain shortstop Gregorius
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | December 11, 2012 5:44 PM ET
The Indians acquired Bauer with Reds center fielder Drew Stubbs and right-handed pitchers Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw, both of whom had been with Arizona. In return, the D-backs landed Reds shortstop prospect Didi Gregorius, veteran left-hander Tony Sipp and first baseman Lars Anderson. The Reds ended up with Indians outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, utility infielder Jason Donald and cash.
"We feel we're getting a young pitcher with a ton of potential," Indians GM Chris Antonetti told MLB.com. "A guy who we feel has a chance to pitch at the top of the rotation once he develops and a guy who we had longstanding interest in."
Selected third overall in the 2011 Draft, Bauer is MLB.com's No. 5 overall prospect. The UCLA product, who turns 22 next month, combined to go 12-2 with a 2.42 ERA in 22 starts between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno this year. Called up to Arizona in June, he went 1-2 with a 6.06 ERA in four Major League starts.
"My gut is this kid is going to have a very good career," Arizona GM Kevin Towers said. "My hope is that this is a win-win for both sides with Cleveland and us. He was a tough guy to part with. We've got depth so that allowed us to make this sort of deal. For him, it's always going to come down to fastball command for him. If the fastball command is there for him with the repertoire of pitches he has, there's no doubt he's going to be a successful big league pitcher."
Bauer clashed with the D-backs during this season following confrontations with catcher Miguel Montero over game-calling.
"This season, although it was not good for him at the big league level, it was at the Minor League level," D-backs president and CEO Derrick Hall told MLB.com in November. "At the big league level, it was probably the most important season because it was his biggest learning lesson in his life.
"What we have heard from him lately is very encouraging. He realizes he has made mistakes and he wants to embrace his teammates and hopes that they forgive him. Just really positive signs and we see a lot of maturity from everything he went through."
Earlier Tuesday, the D-backs finalized a two-year contract with veteran right-hander Brandon McCarthy.
Among the three players coming back to Arizona is the 22-year-old Gregorius. Signed as a non-drafted free agent in 2008, he had been the Reds' No. 5 prospect. In his fourth Minor League season, the native of Curacao hit .265 with seven homers and 54 RBIs between Double-A Pensacola and Triple-A Louisville.
"I said the only way I would talk about Trevor Bauer is if I could get Gregorius," Towers said. "When I saw him, he reminded me of a young Derek Jeter. I was fortunate enough to see Jeter when he was in high school in Michigan. He's got that type of range, he's got speed, more of a line-drive-type hitter, and I think he's got the type of approach at the plate and separation to where I think there's going to be power there as well."
Gregorius was a Southern League midseason All-Star and made his big league debut in September and batted .300 with two RBIs in eight games.
"At Spring Training, I learned a lot," Gregorius told MLB.com in September. "They taught me a lot about how they play and how I have to play the game. I talked to them a lot and saw how everything is."
The D-backs also landed Sipp, who went 1-2 with a 4.42 ERA in 63 relief appearances this year, and Anderson, who appeared in 30 games over three seasons with the Red Sox.
Stubbs, the eighth overall pick in the 2006 Draft, joins the Indians after three seasons as Cincinnati's everyday center fielder. He boasts a .241 career average with 59 homers, 178 RBIs and 110 stolen bases in 137 attempts.
The Reds will replace Stubbs with Choo, a .289 lifetime hitter who has 80 homers, 345 RBIs and 80 steals since 2008. Cleveland was unable to negotiate a long-term deal with the South Korea native, who was paid $4.9 million this year and would have become a free agent following the 2013 season.
The acquisition of Choo could relegate stolen base champion Billy Hamilton to another season in the Minor Leagues. The Reds had sent their top prospect to the Arizona Fall League to transition from shortstop to center field.
The trade was the second blockbuster in three days involving a Top Five prospect. Late Sunday night, Minor League Player of the Year Wil Myers was dealt from the Royals to the Rays.

OK…I have this thing where I'm kind of anal about lotions that are not only thick and creamy, but actually moisturize. There's nothing worse than putting on lotion and two seconds later your hands feel drier than than they did before you put it on! That's my little lotion rant.
That's why I've been really obsessed with body butters lately. If you haven't tried a really good, rich and creamy body butter, then you're dry skin is really missing out. It's way better than a cream or lotion. It's thicker, giving it a luxurious feel. I will warn you, most of them will not dry quickly, thus giving you that "greasy" feeling. But, I kind of like that when I'm slathering it on.
If you haven't figured it out, I love experimenting with different beauty products.
The two body butters I'm currently using are VS Fantasies Deep-Softening Body Butter in Sheer Love ($12) and CaciqueBody's Citrusfresh You Butter Believe It ($20). One is my romantic and soft smelling go-to body butter, while the other is my energizing start the day kind.
Body Butters range in price and come in different scents. There are a ton of brands out there, including organic and natural. It really is up to you to try them out for yourself. My first experience was with Clinique's Deep comfort body butter and that's pretty much what got me where I am today.
Wait…I just saw something called "hair butter?" Oh snap! I have to check that out. In the meantime, take a peek at the few body butters I found below. Do you use any of them? What do you think?
Are you a body butter kind of girl?

People travel to New Orleans for many reasons, such as the music, the culture, and the architectural beauty. New Orleans has all of these items in spades. But if you are one of those people who loves to experience places through food, you are in for a special treat when next you stay in a New Orleans bed and breakfast.
After your first night, you'll be treated to a delicious meal at your bed and breakfast New Orleans. This is a great time to get the scoop on various local restaurants from both the innkeepers and other guests. You will undoubtedly be told the closest spot to find the best po-boy sandwich, and, if it is hot, everybody's favorite shaved-ice stand. Take good notes, then head off to the Southern Food and Beverage Museum.
The Southern Food and Beverage Museum, or SoFAB, is located in the Riverwalk Marketplace next to the Mississippi River, between the Central Business District and The French Quarter. The Canal Street Ferry crosses the Mississippi and docks at the Riverwalk Marketplace, and the Riverfront Streetcar stops by its doors.
SoFAB is a nonprofit living history museum dedicated to discovering, understanding, and most of all celebrating the food of the south. It's hard to find a better place to orient yourself to the local cuisine. Start with "Louisiana Eats! Laissez Faire – Savoir Fare", a permanent exhibit that uncovers the many layers of Louisiana food, its origins and development. Then check out Absinthe Visions, a photographic exhibit of this fabled green alcohol, long outlawed in this country but now available in New Orleans; if you are in town on Saturday August 21, 2010, you may enjoy attending "Absinthe in Art and Literature", where Todd Price will discuss the cultural significance of absinthe.
Another interesting project underway at SoFAB is The Menu Project. They are collecting menus from every restaurant in the South, and southern-inspired restaurants throughout the world. As you nibble your way through New Orleans, you can help the project by collecting menus as you go.
After visiting the Southern Food and Beverage Museum, wander through Woldenberg Park to Jackson Square, where you can grab a coffee at the Cafe Du Monde Coffee Stand. Revived, you'll be ready to loosen your belts and eat your way through New Orleans, one great restaurant at a time.

Lt. Gen. Ron Burgess (second from left) and Auburn students Katie Wright and Alan Millington demonstrate the software capabilities in the university's new cyber and security training center to Alabama Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard and Sen. Tom Whatley. Larry Fillmer (right), executive director for program development, looks on. The lawmakers toured the center, which also includes an open-source intelligence research laboratory, to learn more about the interdisciplinary program that promotes and advances Auburn's expertise and leadership in cyber and security.
Lt. Gen. Ron Burgess, a 38-year U.S. Army veteran who spent much of his career in the upper levels of military intelligence and security, has joined Auburn University as senior counsel for national security programs, cyber programs and military affairs. His appointment began Dec. 1.
A 1974 Auburn graduate, Burgess served as director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency from 2009 until July 2012, prior to his retirement from the Army in September. At Auburn he will be working in coordination with the university's Office of the Vice President for Research, providing guidance, direction and support to a broad range of interdisciplinary research initiatives.
"Gen. Burgess is a heavyweight player in the defense intelligence arena," said David Umphress, associate professor of computer science and software engineering. "We are looking to him to help us develop a big-picture perspective of how the software cyber security research being conducted by the finest students around can be shaped to the benefit of the nation."
Burgess will be an integral part of the Auburn University Cyber Initiative.
"Having Gen. Burgess at Auburn will give us a strong voice in national and homeland security policies and cue our cyber research toward major national contributions," said Drew Hamilton, professor of computer science and software engineering.
Working with faculty and research staff, Burgess will specifically promote and advance Auburn University's technical expertise and leadership in cyber education and training; open source intelligence and analysis; and cyber security to include information assurance, intrusion detection and critical infrastructure protection.
"Gen. Burgess' strategic vision is to grow our research enterprise, foster economic development and create opportunities for Auburn experts by matching their capabilities with business and federal agencies at the highest level," said John Mason, Auburn associate provost and vice president for research. "He will interface with federal, state and commercial entities on national security interests, cyber programs and military concerns."
Today, the United States, its military and intelligence communities face a mounting array of unconventional and unique challenges ranging from reduced budgets and force levels, to subtle and unforeseen cyber threats to financial systems, infrastructure, energy resources and even the security of the food supply. At the same time, increasing numbers of volunteer forces who have sacrificed much over the past decade are now entering the workforce as veterans seeking civilian employment in a highly competitive and increasingly complex and technical job market.
In response to these needs, Auburn University is continually seeking ways to strengthen and expand its partnership with the U.S. military; focus research efforts on finding solutions to these demanding security challenges; and develop programs and training that can assist veterans as they transition from the military to the civilian workforce.
The Auburn University Cyber Initiative fosters interdisciplinary research programs. In 2012, the Alabama State Legislature issued a joint resolution recognizing AUCI for its support of economic development in the state of Alabama. In an effort to provide further resources to this critical initiative, AUCI will now have access to Burgess' world-class expertise in intelligence.

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a genetic disease that involves broad thumbs and toes, short stature, distinctive facial features, and varying degrees of intellectual disability.
Rubinstein syndrome, RTS
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is a rare condition. Most people with RTS have a defect in a gene that leads to abnormal protein substances called CREBBP and EP300.
Some patients, typically with more severe problems, are missing the gene entirely.
Most cases are sporadic (not passed down through families) and likely due to a new genetic defect that occurs while the baby grows in the womb, which was not passed on by either parent.
Other signs and symptoms may include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. Blood tests and x-rays will be done.
Genetic tests can be done to determine if the genes involved in this disease are missing or changed.
There is no specific treatment for Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. Surgery to repair the bones in the thumbs or toes can sometimes improve grasp or relieve discomfort.
Rubinstein-Taybi Parents Group USA -- www.rubinstein-taybi.org
The majority of children can learn to read at an elementary level. The majority have delayed motor development, but on average, they learn to walk by 2 1/2 years of age.
Complications depend on what part of the body is affected. Complications may include:
An appointment with a geneticist is recommended if the health care provider finds signs of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome.
Genetic counseling is advised for couples with a family history of this disease who are planning a pregnancy.

Fans give returning champions a heroes' welcome
Brian Studebaker, wearing his new "Carolina National Champions" T-shirt and carrying his 2-year-old son on his shoulders, made his way down the steps at the Colonial Life Arena Wednesday afternoon.
Less than 18 hours earlier, he had been in Omaha, sitting five rows off the field and watching the Gamecock baseball team defeat UCLA in 11 innings to win the College World Series and become the 2010 NCAA national champions.
"I haven't been to bed yet," said Studebaker, a devoted USC fan from Lexington. "We partied until 1:30, then drove to Kansas City, flew through Atlanta, went home for about 30 minutes and headed here.
"I wasn't going to miss this."
Neither were about 14,000 other Gamecock fans who packed the arena to welcome the Carolina baseball team home to Columbia. Hours before the team arrived, the sidewalk outside the arena was flooded with a sea of garnet. Inside, chants of "U-S-C" echoed through the arena as seats filled up with fans – from toddlers to senior citizens – who settled in to watch the replay of the Tuesday night game on the big screen.
"It's once in a lifetime. What a thrill for this university and the state of South Carolina," said Dode Prickett, a 1985 USC graduate whose wife was a Carolina cheerleader. He drove from St. Matthews with his 10- and 13-year-old sons, who kept asking him where they were going. "You're going to a big party," he told them. "It's something you won't see many times in your life." "The state needs it. The university needs it. I'm proud to be part of it," Prickett said. "It's one of the happiest days of my life."
As the team's bus pulled in, the arena vibrated with the "GAME-COCKS" chant. Then the familiar notes of "2001" filled the room, followed by the fight song and "We Are the Champions," as the baseball players and coaches paraded in, carrying the national championship trophy. They made their way around the arena floor's perimeter, slapping hands, waving, hugging fans, and smiling big national-championship smiles.

Three strikes, you're out
Apparently, spending $10 million on Jerry Seinfeld and $300 million on an ad campaign in which both Seinfeld and Bill Gates try to show off their "human" side isn't paying off, and Microsoft is pulling their ad campaign tomorrow, according to this blog item.
In fact, in a classic case of advertising euthanasia, a third episode in the ad campaign may not see the light of day.
The fact is when you compare this ad campaign — which was as mysterious as it was offensive — to others, whether it's the current "I'm a Mac" or even the legendary "1984" ad, you can see an interesting parallel: Just as Apple blows Microsoft out of the water with its technology — OS X versus Vista? You decide — it also parallels its superiority in its ads. Conversely, Microsoft shows it's ineptitude both in their inability to hire and execute an effective ad campaign in the same fashion that it produces inadqueate software.

"The Impossible" is a brilliantly visualized, touchingly acted and hauntingly moving survival drama set in the lethal turmoil of the 2004 tsunami that killed thousands of people across the southern Pacific.
It's a really fine movie, but one so tough to sit through that many viewers are likely to give it a pass.
The movie tells the true story of a family vacationing at a Thai resort one Christmas. Parents Henry (Ewan McGregor) and Maria (Naomi Watts) lounge by the pool while their sons Lucas (Tom Holland), Thomas (Samuel Joslin) and Simon (Oaklee Pendergast) play in the pool.
Then disaster strikes. A wall of water washes over the resort, turning buildings to kindling and washing debris and bodies all over. The destruction is unimaginable, and director J.A. Bayona ("The Orphanage") and his special-effects crew do an astonishing job of imagining it for us in every excruciating detail. For example, it turns out one of the dangers of being hit by a tsunami isn't the water itself (which is still pretty bad), but getting hit or gouged by the jagged flotsam and jetsam carried by that water.
The script by Sergio G. Sanchez, with story help by Maria Belon runs on parallel tracks, as the family is separated, with some members not knowing whether others have survived. First we follow Maria with Lucas, the oldest son, who must take on responsibility when Maria's injuries become more than she can bear. Then we reunite with Henry and the other two boys, still at the resort, desperate to find Maria and Lucas.
There are moments that will make a moviegoer wince, as when Bayona shows us the horrific gash in Maria's right thigh. But as heart-wrenching as the physical travails of this family are, the emotional ones are even more harrowing such as one scene in which Henry, finally given access to a cell phone, makes a desperate call to his father-in-law to tell him the bad news.
The power of Bayona's images along with the strong performances by Watts, McGregor and especially young Holland bring the reality of the 2006 tsunami, the uncountable damage and the many lives lost, back to our consciousness with a ferocity only movies can provide.
That power is also a bit of a cheat, as we discover at the movie's end. A picture of the real-life family whose story we've just experienced who aren't English (as the actors' accents would make us think) but Spanish pulls us away from the family's story for a moment to reflect on the Hollywood mindset that would insist on English-speaking Anglos and not Spaniards (even bankable stars like Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem) to fill these roles.
But that's a minor irritation, felt only after the fact. The raw emotions of "The Impossible" are experienced in the moment, as we live the harrowing disaster along with this family.

Product shots look nice, but I'm pretty sure those will be all cheap plastic.
Seems to me that companies are not being innovative, there just copying whatever Apple comes out with. Apple sues because they have to protect their ideas and their brand. Apple is I believe the most valuable company now, so people have come out of the wood work with knockoffs and look alikes of their products.
Wow. Sounds like just what I'm looking for. Both look excellent based off of looks alone, the only question left is whether they perform well.
Also, I like what appears to be streamlining with both using trackpads, which is something risky, but a cool effort anyway. Both the 14" ultraportable and 27" all in one look like great first entries into the PC market to me. Can't wait to see how the specs and equally important, pricing, look
I agree. I have had no issues with any of my Vizio tv's. I think picture quality v/s price it's a pretty awesome buy. Their wifi blue ray was less than $100 and works great. I will continue to buy Vizio's products and enjoy them.
I would buy the laptop as I like the MBA but am not a mac fan.
I know it's popular on this site and on MR to trash anything that dares to compete with Apple but as another person above me said, that gets old really fast. Apple isn't the inventor of EVERY THING so ffs give it a rest.
I purchased a Scepter 32" LED LCD 720p tv for my bed room and the picture quality on that is pretty good so can't complain much on that. The sound on it though was horrible. Very tinny. Purchased a Logitech speaker/subwoofer set and plugged it into the back of the TVs Analog audio out and made a world of difference. For about $250 total purchase price on Cyber Monday, I can't complain too much. Allowed me to hook up my Apple TV 2 to it for watching iTunes and Netflix in bed.
I have my vizio Lcd tv 32 inch for almost 3 years no problems got it for 300 at that time u couldn't fine a 32inch lcd for that price. it was a great deal good picture good sounds no complaints. so its good there getting into the PC market now that means more competition for the rest of them and lowered prices for PC's.
I've applied for job at costco.
more than 5x.
no reply from them.
can you tell me what I need to do to get my foot in the door?
can you recommend me.
cashier or anything is fine.
I have lots of experience in cashier, forklift driver, and many other things.

Corry MacPhee-Morrison, Glace Bay, shows the bite she received after being attacked by a pit bull on July 11, resulting in 200 stitches and emergency surgery to close the gash. MacPhee-Morrison said doctors told her the bite was life-threatening — about a millimetre from the artery next to her femur, which goes to the heart. She said she was told without medical attention that would have meant bleeding to death in about four minutes.
©Sharon Montgomery-Dupe - Cape Breton Post
GLACE BAY — It took more than 200 stitches and emergency surgery to close a gash on Corry MacPhee-Morrison's right thigh after a recent bite from a pit bull.
The bite occurred July 11 while the 36-year-old was visiting her brother's home on Fifth Street.
Since then, she said the dog owner, her brother's girlfriend, is refusing her requests to have the animal euthanized.
RELATED STORY: Glace Bay pit bull owner gives their side of the story
"They said I would not have survived if it had been millimetres more — would have bled out in four minutes," MacPhee-Morrison said while exiting the Glace Bay Hospital where she received followup treatment.
"It is still really bad, I'm not out of the woods yet. It's still infected."
The bite that was dangerously close to a major artery came while she was standing in her brother's home.
"When I come they put the dogs in a room because I'm just frightened of both male pit bulls," she said.
"My brother's dog was in his room and I thought her dog was in a bedroom or something and separated. It happened so fast. I just looked down and he was on my leg. I didn't feel anything. I think I just went into shock mode."
She remembers yelling for somebody to pull the dog off her leg and then seeing her brother trying to do just that.
"I was rushed right then by ambulance to regional hospital. I was in emergency surgery right then."
She was in hospital when she said police took statements that evening and disputes the dog owner's account that she was bitten while caught in the middle of a dogfight.
Officials from the SPCA visited her at home and MacPhee-Morrison said they had her complete a report on the incident.
"We are aware of the case and we are investigating with the support of the Cape Breton Regional Police," said Jeff Dursi, manager with the Nova Scotia SPCA, Cape Breton Branch.
"Where the bylaw applies, we will be there to apply it."
Dursi noted that he could say little more about the incident because it is an ongoing investigation.
Though she's reached out to police, MacPhee-Morrison has not yet pressed charges.
She'd prefer the owner put the dog down without outside involvement, but said if full charges are necessary she'll go through that process.
"I love animals, I really do and I'm not a cruel person, but that dog definitely needs to be put down."
She said she contacted media because she wants people to know that the dog is still alive.
"My whole life changed. I'm scared to even drive the car now. I just want people to know that this dog is still alive and outside all the time."

Gas prices flirting with $3 a gallon
(Cleveland) -Gas prices are on a downward trend...ClevelandGasPrices.com shows a gallon of unleaded going for $3.01 at at least one station this morning! A number of stations are selling below $3.10 a gallon.
We're averaging $3.23 compared to $3.32 last week.
Statewide, prices are also down 11 cents, $3.23 today versus $3.34 a week ago, according to triple a's fuel gauge report. In Kent, at least one station was selling at $2.99
Greg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst with ClevelandGasPrices.com, says the U.S. well on its way toward energy autonomy.
According to Laskoski, we exported more oil last year than we imported. That, combined with the ability to get fuel from Canada and Mexico, put us in a good position with regards to the international oil markets.
But Laskoski says to truly make it on our own; we're going to have to invest in the infrastructure to move that fuel around. Like buying a new car, he says, it's a big expense at the outset but over the long run it's cost-effective.
And Laskoski calls the future for CNG, or compressed natural gas cars, "tremendous".
Again, though, he says it won't happen without an infrastructure to make it easy for people to refill.

Egg Products Destined to Foreign Countries
FSIS is certifying more and more egg products destined to foreign countries every year. These products are accompanied by FSIS Form PY-200 titled, Egg Products Inspection and Grading Certificate. Most of the importing countries require additional certification statements to be included with these products, usually using PY-200. However, in certain cases, additional certification must be provided using a Letterhead Certificate.
Several importing countries actually require an additional export document. It is important to check FSIS Export Library, which includes a section on the requirements for egg products, prior to certifying egg products destined to a foreign country. The requirements for each of the importing countries are unique. As always, prior to shipping, exporters should work closely with importers to confirm that the importing country will accept the documentation provided by FSIS inspection personnel as indicated in the country requirements.
