There Will Be Brawl: Episode Five
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 NEXT
I'm really liking Becky Young as Samus. Why hasn't she had more roles yet, she's good?
Robocop. Now where's my cookie?
You know it took me awhile but I think I got the End of Days. It's a play on the end of day report from Pikmin. Poor guys and the hammer and barrel were perfect.
Wow, the makeup and costuming in this series is consistantly amazing. Really jaw dropping.
Great episode, it was well worth the extra wait. I can't get enough of this series, looking forward to the next one.
Why is this the best show ever? That episode was Long too, like I actually felt like I was watching a real TV show and not some little web series.
This just keeps getting better and better. Didn't see that ending coming.
Ahhh Mario with a Hammer again. Now that was special. Seriously This is great. Love the story and some very good dialogue.
Mmm. Beautiful episode.
Wow. That was... incredible.
This series is amazing, and that ending... well, I did not see that one coming.
Anyone have a guess as to who the killer is?
Also Mewtwo.
I think it is safe to call Donkey Kong is dead as a doornail. The way Mario pounded him was absolutely vicious. I wonder what the Darkness is? I also loved the way the references and this episode was by far the best yet. I would even go so far as to say that it is the best thing on the Escapist today.
This series is just incredible. Next episode is going to be fucking awesome.
It's all kicking off!
Excellent job on Dedede, and the fight scene was done a lot better than the last one as well. Well worth the late week, I'd say.
Also Donkey Kong found a barrel to throw. Awesome. haha.
After reading the bits about 'Pauline' it makes sense that she called Mario Jumpman. Is/has Sonic made an appearance? (I forget if he has)
Dedede was awesome. It's a shame he got roflstomped.
What Brawl character has a thing for disembowling?
All we know right now is that it's a guy from what Dedede said.
Amazing epsiode keep them coming.
P.S. Samus still looks AMAZING!
Same here.
This is getting better by every episode
My guess is the mystery killer is using taxidermy to make "trophies" like in the game. That would explain why they are taking the bodies but leaving the insides.
yeh great ep 17min for 2 weeks aint bad =)
great episode. best yet
CLIFFHANGERS! OH MY GOD! I'm so ready for the next one, great great episode. Marvelous.
Haha, I'm sure there are many great things to be said, but I was much too busy looking at Latex laden Samus to notice anything else.
Oh, awesome Dedede costume!
As said by Dee Dee Dee "It's not good to keep a port man waiting."
That said, he may have met toon link, but it doesn't mean toon link is what did that to him.
Olimar is just filled with win. He's like the creepy scientist guy without morals or a sense of dignity left to strip. The only thing left is a weapons dealer; someone who will strike deals with Gannondorf. Amazing.
..s...Saria... a hooker?
Wow. That was great. Don't have anything else to say right now other than great.
(18 minutes? I figured it was longer than usual.)
Semi-obvious statement.
The killer's identity should be clear, at least to Dedede's secretary. What smart mob boss doesn't give the name of the "Inportant Person" he's meeting to at least one highly-valued leutenant?
Definitely awesome Dedede costume, good choice of actor too. Greatest episode ever, besides the one where Mario punched the hell out of Bowser. That reminds me of the ZP review for SSBB
In the almost last scene when the police crash the place, you have to wonder, Where is Meta Knight?
I've never watched TWBB before but I have to say I liked it. Its a darker side of nintendo and its really well made so I think I'll watch the other 1's.
Congratulations, you are creating an exciting and compeling series.
wholy ****

French, est. 1885
Vase, c. 1921
28 x 23.3 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mr. Arthur King, Montréal
René Lalique (1860–1945) is perhaps the best-known glassmaker of the early twentieth century. Following his apprenticeship as a goldsmith, he worked initially as a freelance jewelry designer for leading firms, such as Cartier and Boucheron. In 1885 Lalique opened his own firm specializing in jewelry and glassware, quickly emerging as a leader in the Art Nouveau aesthetic and, later, Art Deco. He turned almost exclusively to glass production around 1910, and eventually devoted his practice to creating high-quality, mass-produced glass. Characteristic of Lalique production is the use of frosted glass that allowed for easy reading of the relief texture, as well as the translucency of the glass. Both of these vases in the WAG collection are wonderful examples of the Art Deco aesthetic with strong diagonals, exotic foliage, and stylized subjects.

[Verse 1: Vic Spencer]
I came out of nowhere
They didn't expect me
My flow is like faux pas
Rocking a pair of SB's (fresshh)
I'm so gone call me Mr. Jet Ski (Mount!)
While you at home in your room trying to stretch weed
They gave me an invite, and I ain't wanna go
So I sent a look-a-like, for a no show
Blow smoke. Don't choke. It didn't kill my brain cells
Instead of taking pain pills. I think headaches ain't real
Bed brakes on the real, when the God smashed ya broad. Oh my lawd
Fucking head game needs a damn applause
A studio audience. 16 is a sitcom
Hell a marks loitering, will I drop a big bomb?
Execute the situation
What you think is dope is basic
Oh its fashion that you chasing?
Leave his ankles on the pavement
Then it's back to the booth
Like nothing happened, bang and snatch
I stay that mother fucker
That these shaky Maude's aiming at
[Verse 2: Chance the Rapper]
Came out the woodwork, like shop class
Popped up like Pop's ass; years later
Told I had the same fro that Pop's had
Told I had the same flow that Pac had
My father figure was a nigga in a top hat
Moonwalking for a hundred thousand pockets
I know at home I had some problems back with my dad
I'm sorry my bad, I'm on your iPad
I had a childhood they just scared I'll never grow up
I'm scared to God that all my friends at shows won't show up
They arms is fold up, like "Tell me what's the hold up?
When the fuck you gonna show us, how the fuck you supposed to blow up?"
And everything I give them, Niggas just want the opposite
Bitch obviously I can spit!
I can pitch up an octave
And spark a hip-hop apocalypse!
Through the wire my college shit!
This my Chaka Khan scholarship!
Teachers better acknowledge it!
[Hook: Chance The Rapper]
I come from out the water
I come to drown your soul
I come to sing my story
These fables must be told
I came from out the water
I come to drown your soul
I came to sing my story
This fable must be told
But you can't find me
You can't find me no
You won't find me
You'll never find me no

Kyle Casey scored 20 points in the win over Princeton (Kevin Burns).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Kyle Casey led Harvard with 20 points and eight boards, and Keith Wright tallied 12 points and camd down with six rebounds, as the Harvard men's basketball team came back to earn a 67-64 win over Princeton before a sold out Lavietes Pavilion Friday evening.
Brandyn Curry chipped in with 15 points and six assists, while Oliver McNally scored 13 points, hitting all six of his free throws, as the Crimson improve to 24-3 overall and 10-1 in the Ivy League. With the win, Harvard sets the program's single-season win mark and ties the program's best conference start (both set last season). Harvard also extends its home win streak to 28 consecutive games. The Crimson shot 49.0 percent (24-of-49) in the game, while the Tigers made 25-of-54 attempts (.463).
Ian Hummer and Douglas Davis each scored 14 points to pace Princeton (15-11, 6-4).
Harvard will conclude its home schedule by hosting Penn Saturday evening in a game shown live on ESPN3.com at 7 p.m. A Crimson victory would clinch at least a share of Harvard's second straight Ivy League title. Prior to the game, seniors Oliver McNally, Andrew Van Nest and Keith Wright will be honored during Senior Day ceremonies.
Casey made the first two Harvard baskets of the game, giving the Crimson a 5-0 lead. Brandyn Curry added a bucket, as Harvard jumped out a quick 7-0 advantage. With 14:10 left, Curry dribbled to his left and finished with a hook in the lane, as Harvard led, 11-5. The Tigers responded with a 5-0 run, but Keith Wright connected on a basket in the paint, making it 13-10.
With 10:12 to go, Curry found Wright underneath the hoop for two more points, 18-15. After Princeton grabbed a 21-20 advantage, the Tigers continued to hit outside shots and went up by six, 26-20. McNally answered with a triple from the top of the key to make it 26-23 with seven minutes to play. With just under four minutes left, Princeton went up by 10, 33-23, but Steven Moundou-Missi cut into the deficit to eight with a tough shot from the right side of the lane.
Curry nailed a trey with 1:45 remaining, getting Harvard back within three, 33-30. McNally added a reverse layup with 36 ticks left on the clock, making it 33-32. Princeton carried that one-point lead into the half, as the Tigers shot 62.5 percent from long distance (5-of-8) and 48.0 percent from the floor overall (12-of-25). Harvard, which hit 52.0 percent of its attempts (13-of-25) held a 14-12 edge in rebounds after the first 20 minutes and was led offensively by Casey, who scored 12 points and collected six rebounds in the first frame.
Princeton stretched its lead to 39-32 to start the half, but Casey got Harvard within five with a layup in the paint. Following a steal by Curry in the Princeton zone, Laurent Rivard finished with a bucket on the break, cutting the deficit to three, 39-36. With 16:44 to play, Casey drilled a jumper from the corner, as the Crimson enjoyed a 6-0 run, 39-38. Casey connected on another bucket, as Harvard remained within one point, 41-40.
With the Tigers leading, 48-42, with 11:39 remaining, Wesley Saunders went to the line and hit the first, keeping the Crimson within five. With 10:04 to go, Curry drove the baseline and hit a layup after drawing contact. Curry made the ensuing free throw, cutting Princeton's lead to just two, 50-48. Moments later, following a steal by Curry, Wright made two foul shots, tying the game, 50-50.
Wright added a tip-in with 9:29 to go, as Harvard grabbed its first lead, 52-50, since the 8:50 mark of the first half, completing a 9-0 scoring run. After Princeton reclaimed a lead, 55-54, Saunders found Curry for a 3-pointer from the right side, giving the Crimson a two-point edge, 57-55. Curry added a tough shot with just under five minutes to play, opening up a four-point lead, 59-55.
With 57 ticks left on the clock, Princeton got back within one, 59-58, but on the other end of the floor, Casey was fouled under the hoop and went to the line. Casey hit both, putting Harvard up by three, 61-58, with 31 seconds left. McNally drained two free throws with 18 seconds left, giving the Harvard a five-point edge, 63-58. With 8.8 seconds to play, McNally went to the line again and hit both to put the game out of reach, 65-61.

Anyone wondering why Allen High School in the Dallas suburbs built a $60 million football stadium can find an answer in the photo to the right. Allen is playing host to defending state champ Southlake Carroll on Friday night in the stadium's first game, and this was the wait yesterday morning if you wanted a crack at any of Southlake Carroll's allotment of tickets.
The Dallas Morning News has reported that the 18,000-seat Eagle Stadium is nearly sold out, and it's not known whether standing-room only tickets will be made available. But somebody somewhere has got to be scalping something, right?

Yay! Went to spotlight today, a massive fabric store, and I said to my Aunt- I wonder if they have rip stop nylon. She said- "ask someone!" so I did, fully expecting the lady to say "no, sorry"- but she said- "Yes, over by the denim" So I have FOUND the magical rip stop nylon! I don't know if it's 1.1 or 1.9, but I will have to go back and get some- I know! I didn't buy it on sight... I'll have to go back with out disbelieving relatives.
I stood and felt the fabric- projects flashed through my mind, I'm sure there was a gleam in my eye.
1. Hammock.
2. Hammock sock.
3. quilt?
4. etc.
The only thing is, I don't think it's DWR. I'd have to ask.
Oh- and as I walked out the door, I thought- "I wonder if they have syl?"

Fender Roller Tool
The more we play with '50s and '60s cars, the more we install larger wheels and tires. While that's just fine sometimes, much of the time we run into fender lip clearance problems. Eastwood makes a handy tool (actually there are three to do the job correctly) that will help you get that little extra clearance you need from your fenders without suffering through extensive and expensive bodywork.
The Fender Roller (PN 31158) and Fender Finisher (PN 11537) along with the optional Heat Pro Deluxe Variable Temperature Heat Gun Kit (PN 43522) will make an ideal combination. The roller will shape the inner fender lip (make sure your car doesn't have an inner fender panel that will need to be removed) to flatten (roll back) the inner lip. The fender finisher can be used to work the same lip to make it even flatter, providing more fender clearance between metal and tire. The heat gun is an ideal accessory that will allow you to gently heat the paint to prevent cracking when the metal is being worked, especially with the fender finisher. Basic Idea
The intent of the tool is to increase tire and fender clearance, flare fenders, and/or repair wheel arch collision damage. The tool bolts directly to hub flange and will work with the popular four- and five-bolt patterns via the elongated holes in the adapter plate. It will accommodate up to 4-3/4-inch four- and five-lug bolt circles. The adjustment in the arm will allow you to work from a 14- to 22-3/4-inch via the Delrin ball bearing forming roller. The roller is rugged enough to get the job done but not so brutish as to harm the paint. As a matter of extra protection so as not to hurt the paint, it's a good idea to heat the paint before rolling.
Fender Roller
The Eastwood Fender Roller is just that—a fender roller. It will press firmly against the sheetmetal within the fender (lip), increasing the available space your tire can "consume." The trick with the roller is to use a firm (but gentle, no gorillas need apply) pressure to the formed lip.
The release lever will allow you to conform the roller to the shape of the fender. Using the release lever, adjust the roller angle to match the shape of the fender.
You can use the optional heat gun (recommend) to apply warm heat to the area to be rolled. The idea is to make the paint "soft" and easily moved without cracking the paint. The heat isn't for the metal as much as it is for the paint.
You will move the roller in an arch (that matches your fender opening) of the inner fender lip to case the desired shape. You will need to apply a constant pressure on the lip during the swing of the roller arm.
What happens if the arch radius of your fender isn't one continuous arch? Let's suppose you have a varying radius. You will need to work the radius in smaller sections, one at a time; making sure to readjust the tool for each section.
Fender Finisher
The Eastwood Fender Finisher is a handy tool to provide additional fender-lip-to-tire clearance. The finisher can also be used for other gentle metal forming tasks, such as crimping doorskins in place, straightening bent edges, etc.
A gentle "pulling up" motion at the handle end while squeezing will sometimes help form a crimp in the fender lip. Work slowly and carefully, keeping the paint temperature in the above-noted range and constantly check for paint cracking.
Variable Temperature Gun
Using a heat gun, warm the painted area to 120 degrees F but no greater than 150 degrees F; to determine this you can use an infrared thermometer (PN 11476 or PN 11477).
With the growth in popularity of the '50s and '60s cars, this is a tool that will be greatly appreciated when it comes time to fit larger wheels and tires.
Socket Insert Kit
Many of us have spent plenty of money on chrome hardware or other finish and the last thing we want is for it to be marked (marred). How does one protect all of those fastener ends? Eastwood offers a nine-piece Socket Insert Kit (PN 12510, $19.98) that comes with SAE and metric molded plastic inserts. (Always check for sale prices as Eastwood often offers discounts.)
The idea is to prevent chrome-plated, polished, or stainless steel hardware from socket or wrench damage. It only takes a moment and the beautiful finish you have fretted over is damaged—permanently.
The inserts come in either SAE or metric or a kit with both. Inserts for nut or bolt sizes come in 1/4-, 7/16-, 1/2-, and 9/16-inch, or 8, 10, 12, 13, 15 mm. Insert plastic into a socket or wrench to protect the fastener from damage. Each insert is marked with the appropriate fastener size and also the wrench/socket size to use. Typically the wrench or socket is two sizes larger than the bolt fastener.
This is a handy tool (or tools) to have in your toolbox especially for the initial build, routine maintenance, or getting ready for a show. When the time comes to tighten nuts and bolts here is one way to accomplish this without damaging the brightwork.
Handy Tips from Eastwood
Don't use newspaper as masking for painting. Today's aerosols and base/clears will bleed right through.
Periodically rub a magnet on the shafts of your screwdrivers—you will be delighted with the results.
Power steering systems need to be bled also—once assembled, with the motor running turn the wheels from lock to lock three times to bleed the system.

Cadillac wants the CTS to accelerate and handle better than a BMW. So it's losing a little weight. The 2014 version of the CTS midsize luxury sedan is aimed squarely at the BMW 5-Series. It weighs 200 pounds less than the BMW 528i and 250 pounds less than the current CTS.
Cadillac's best-selling sedan needs the makeover. Sales fell nearly 15 percent last year, and the CTS lost ground to the 5-Series and the Mercedes E-Class in the important midsize-luxury segment. "Longer, lower and leaner," were the mandates for General Motors designers in redoing the CTS, which is being unveiled Tuesday evening ahead of the New York International Auto Show.
The CTS' weight loss secret? Aluminum. The car has new aluminum doors and also uses aluminum in the bumper beams and the front cradle, which is part of the structure. Making the car lighter will help it feel more nimble when drivers compare it to the BMW. The new CTS weighs in at 3,616 pounds. The third-generation version keeps the angular look of the current model, but the creases are less severe. The interior gets a more upscale, hand-crafted look with richer colors than the current models. Some of the inside door and dash panels can be swapped out by dealers to change the look of the interior. Dave Leone, Cadillac's chief engineer, said the new panels are engineered so they won't come loose and rattle. Dashboards and doors are often sources of interior noises. "It naturally wants to nest in there," he said.
There's also a new CTS performance model, the Vsport, with a twin-turbo V-6 engine that can go from zero to 60 mph in an estimated 4.6 seconds. That should also help the CTS go after BMW, said Leone. "They do a good job of blending power, luxury and performance," he said. "We want to do that even stronger."
In recent years, BMW and Mercedes have squared off for the lead in U.S. luxury car sales. Mercedes won last year, followed by BMW. In the middle-luxury line, Mercedes sold more than 65,000 E-Class models, followed by the 5-Series at about 57,000. Cadillac sold just under 47,000 CTS models, according to Autodata Corp.
GM executives hope the new CTS can team with the XTS large sedan and the ATS small sports sedan to help the Cadillac brand grow in that highly profitable segment of the market. Despite the debuts of the XTS and ATS, Cadillac sales fell 1.7 percent last year. At the same time, BMW and Mercedes sales each grew 14 percent.
Here are some CTS highlights:
UNDER THE HOOD: Drivers have a choice of three engines. There's the current 3.6-liter V-6 with 321 horsepower. A 2-Liter turbocharged four-cylinder puts out 272 horsepower. The Vsport has a new 3.6-liter twin-turbo that puts out 420 horsepower. Two transmissions are available: a six-speed automatic and an eight-speed automatic made by Aisin, a Japanese parts supplier. The eight-speed gets better fuel economy and performance because its gearing allows the engine to work less at highway speeds. The eight-speed is only available with V-6 engines.
OUTSIDE: The new CTS is 4 inches longer than the old model and the wheelbase — the distance between the front and rear wheels — is an inch longer. The base of the windshield is also an inch lower. Some models have grille shutters that close to lock out air flow and improve aerodynamics on the highway. The new CTS keeps vertical LED lighting in the front and back.
FUEL ECONOMY: For the first time, a version of the CTS hits a GM-estimated 30 mpg on the highway, when equipped with the four-cylinder turbo. It also gets 19 mpg in the city with rear-wheel drive, according to GM. The non-turbo V-6 also gets 19 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway, while the turbo V-6 gets 17 in the city and 25 on the highway. All-wheel-drive versions get slightly worse mileage.
PRICE: Will be released closer to the car's arrival at dealers in the fall. Leone says it will be competitive with the 5-Series and E-Class. Current base price is just under $40,000 including shipping.
CHEERS: The interior is top-notch and really does look hand-crafted. Fuel economy gets better, especially with the 8-speed transmission or the four-cylinder turbo.
JEERS: The 2013 version of the CTS won Consumer Reports magazine's coveted "Recommended Buy" status on average or better reliability for V-6 models. GM will have to be careful to keep the reliability high with so many changes in the new model.

The clock is non-judgmental
It doesn't care at all
No thought it gives to me
As it stands within the hall.
The gold watch on my wrist
The alarm clock by the bed,
What care they for misery
Or what may lay ahead?
They only serve one purpose
And that's to track my life,
Moment by moment, clock ticking
Time maps this life of strife.
The good days and the bad
They are the same in length
As you and I struggle to balance
Our pain against our strength.
I try to stop the pendulum
Save time for better days
But the treadmill of time keeps moving
It cares not if I'm ablaze.
When I was very young, time dragged
Christmas's eons apart and
I measured life by birthdays
Not knowing what life would impart.
Why does wisdom come so late?
Why wasn't I prepared?
Is everyone caught by surprise?
I didn't plan on being impaired.
Could I have a fresh start?
Can I get a "do over" this year?
Can't someone in charge give me a pass?
I'm sick of being stuck in here.
I want to kick my feet and rage
I'd love to pitch a fit
But I've learned from other times
I'd just dig a deeper pit.
With each day that passes
I grow tired of complaint
It's just ravages time
Therefore I attempt restraint.
I've discovered I must savor
The moments, the emotions, the hours
For each of them are fragile after
Bloom they'll fade like flowers.
Old clock you just keep ticking
And I'll pledge to savor time
My life, both pain and joy,
And thank you with each chime.

Tolls are only collected for trips headed to Tacoma on the State Route 16 Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Tolls help repay the costs of construction to build the second span of the bridge which opened in 2007.
Toll Rates
Note: Vehicles with more than two axles pay higher toll rates.
Ways to Pay
All vehicles must pay a toll except for emergency vehicles. Carpools, vanpools, motorcycles and transit pay tolls just like all other vehicles.
In 1998 voters approved construction of a second Tacoma Narrows Bridge between Tacoma and Gig Harbor to alleviate daily traffic backups and accommodate projected growth in population and employment. Construction began in 2002, and the new bridge opened in 2007.
Learn about Tacoma Narrows Bridge history.
Future plans
Tolling will continue as long as the bonds which financed the new bridge are being paid off, which is planned to end in 2032. Learn more about tolling finance and policy.

Kiteboard Tour Asia Opens its 2012 Tour
Successful Round One in the Philippines
by Freida Dario (KTA Philippines Correspondent)
BORACAY Island, Philippines – January 2012 – Kiteboard Tour Asia (KTA) Philippines, powered by AQUA Boracay (www.aquaboracay.com) held it's third successful year from January 10 to 15. KTA, Asia's first ever sanctioned international kiteboard competition organization kicked off the kiteboard season 2012, with a bigger and better Asian tour on the expansive 100-meter beachfront of AQUA Boracay – a brand new upscale residential resort development along the prime section of Bulabog Beach, which has been the scene of two previous years of KTA competitions, with its global reputation for top class wind and kiting conditions.
The tropical country's leading travel destination, Boracay has received numerous awards, including Second Best Beach Destination in the World in TripAdvisor's 'Travelers' Choice 2011' awards, and fourth in the Top 10 Islands in the World list travel & Leisure Magazine's 'World's Best Awards 2011'. It is no wonder that each year, KTA Philippines attracts increasing numbers of kiteboard champions, competitors, and enthusiasts, with an unprecedented record-breaking registration this year, of 79 riders, with 62 racers and 22 men along with 16 women for freestyle, all in top form and ready to go.
Building on the success of its first two events, KTA collaborated with its new Presenting Sponsor AQUA Boracay, who pulled the stops to provide a world-class venue and a number memorable happenings in and around Boracay Island's top spots making each participant's Boracay experience, absolutely unforgettable.
Set on the eastern side of Boracay, Bulabog Beach, provides ideal kiteboard conditions during the winter monsoon months with the anticipated wind speeds of between 25 to 30 knots, showing up as planned making for perfect as a competition each day.
Here is a rundown of the week's highlights: Opening Party (January 10) and Registration Day (January 11) – KTA Philippines welcomed this year's delegates with a welcome party at EPIC BORACAY (www.epicboracay.com), with competitors from across the globe converging at Boracay's epicenter for world-class dining, drinking and dancing. The crowd of kite champions and enthu
siasts, supporters and island residents enjoyed an evening of revelry, with great food and flowing booze, and riveting live tribal performances by Kadangyan. Guests were initiated into Boracay's thriving night scene, known as much as a party destination by night, as it is a beach holiday haven by day, and the evening proved to be a precursor to the exhilarating journey in the coming days. Thankfully, day two was registration day, which as mentioned earlier, saw a record-breaking registration of 79 riders. With the promise of good winds, competitors were out-of-sight by nightfall, bracing themselves for a hell of a ride,
Competition Day One: Freestyle Single Eliminations (January 12) – Starting the day with a Skippers meeting at 9AM, with bright eyes clad in stylish sunglasses, spirits soared in equal amounts of excitement and trepidation as the winds raged over 25 knots. With the air dense with electrifying energy, KTA Competition Director and KTA Philippines organizer, Stephan Hertig announces the day's schedules and participants geared-up for the day's battles on the turquoise and warm water. By 10AM, the two mile-long stretch of Bulabog Beach was filled with riders and spectators, photographers and tourists, all eagerly anticipating the spectacle of the incredible sport of kite boarding. Converging at AQUA Boracay the crowds cheered as the judges, namely Sedat Celenk, Mars Gersbach, and William Bourget took their places at the Judge's "tower of power". Joining Hertig was KTA Tour Director Willy Kerr, who riled up the riders as the competitions began. Alternating the Freestyle competitions for the women's and the men's categories until sunset, the exhilarating day took "freestyle" to immense heights, pushing each competitor to their limits until 5PM.
Competition Day Two: Freestyle Double Eliminations and Course Racing (January 13) As expected, the second day of competitions proved to be a wild and sexy from the word go! Starting off with a full morning ofMen's and Women's Freestyle Double Eliminations, where competitors showed-off their stunning "big air" stunts, each one out to put on their best show, with what seemed to spectators as an intense pageant of sportsmanly/womanly competition in form, unbelievable tricks and amazing combinations of tricks, that one could regrettably miss by looking away for a few brief seconds. Without any breaks, Course Racing commenced at 1PM, with men racing with women at Twin Tip (TT) and Race Board categories. With a wind range of 20 to 25 knots, race speeds were at a neck-breaking 60 to 70 kilometers per hour. After a quick rain shower cooled the competitors, the Freestyle Doubles continued, fiercer than ever, with ridiculous air times, passes and kite loops on show.
By day's end, protest hearings gave competitors a chance to redress and settle the day's race disputes and see who came out on top. A great reward for a great day of competitions was a sumptuous dinner at DOS MESTIZOSSpanish Restaurant & Bar (www.dosmestizos.com), which served their popular Tapas Dinner Buffet. As a mid-week party, KTA "Charlie Browners" competed at a more level playing field, the Flip Cup Tournament, where teams battled it out with cups of beer and cup-flipping skills! Not to be taken lightly, great Cabrinha goodies were at stake here, from solar showers and headphones, to iPhone cases.
Competition Day Three: Freestyle Double Eliminations & Finals and Course Racing (January 14) – As forecasted, winds were not as strong as the previous days, although this did not in any way dampen the high energies of the third day of competitions. Freestyle Double Eliminations were sounded off at 10:30AM and went all the way to the finals at 2PM, with champions Victoria Soloveykina (Russia) winning in the women's category and Andrey Salnik (Ukraine) winning in the men's category, after two heats of the finals, defeating his top contender with his powered kite loop tricks as well as mobe and slim 5.
The highlight of the day's Freestyle competitions was seeing local 14-year-old rider Stefano Ganugi, fighting his way through the Doubles with five wins in a row, all the way to 6th place where Taner Aykurt stopped him. Stronger than the prevailing winds, Ganugi totally blew everyone away, and gave the crowd a glimpse of the Boracay champ of the future with his great skill and impressive new tricks such as the kite loop slim, kite loop mobe, shifty grab 313, and kite loop 3! By 2:30PM, the competitions switched to Course Racing, with enough wind for both Twin Tip (TT) and Race Board (RB) racing. For the second set of races, the winds determined that it was time to switch back to RB, with two more successful races that ended another incredible day at 4PM. In preparation for the final day of competitions the following day, no activities were scheduled for the evening, although this did not stop a few brave party animals from a night out on White Beach!
Last Day Of Competitions: A Race To The Finish With Course Racing, Award Ceremonies And After Party (January 15) – With winds dropping to 12 knots, the Skippers meeting pronounced all racing, starting off with Twin Tip (TT), back to back with Race Board (RB) racing. Sounding off the horn at 10AM, two successful races of TT had adrenalines pumping, with kiteboarders racing not only against each other, but challenging the wind to pick up and sustain the unabated race momentum. When the wind dropped, one good RB race ensued until the wind decided to call it a day for everyone at 3PM it was one hell of a way to cap the four days of intense competitions!
Rather than feeling disappointed, participants welcomed the downtime for some quality chill out beach time, with a nice cool breeze and a golden sun – quite the perfect pairing with an iced cold bottle of brew. The perfectly uneventful post-race afternoon was indeed the ideal "calm before the storm", in preparation for the evening's libations.
The evening's celebrations were sponsored by CABRINHA, starting off with the Cabrinha Awards Hog Roast and Ice Luge ceremonies at THE SAND BAR BORACAY (thesandbarboracay.com). The festive gala awards were set at the beachfront, with a chic beach lounge of low tables and leather sofas, for a relaxed kitesurfer-style ambience, under a huge canopy. With not one, but two pigs courtesy of Cabrinha, and a feast fit for champions, the awarding ceremonies were hosted by KTA Tour Director and Co-owner Willy Kerr and local kiteboarderPaula Rosales, with a scintillating fire dancing show. Top prizes for first, second, and third placers with 1st place -CABRINHA kites, 2nd - UNDERGROUND boards, and 3rd MAELSTORM goodies, sunglasses and impact vests. Further Stefano Ganugi received a special award as part of the KTA's new prize on this year's tour at each stop to encourage the most up and coming local rider that most impressed the judges throughout the event, supported by Sprockett Boards.
The after party followed at JUNGLE BAR, located at the southern end of Bulabog Beach, surrounded by nature and resounding in ethnic splendor. Open to all riders, spectators, and groupies alike, revelers were treated to free tattoos, sponsored by Cabrinha, with Kerr getting inked with the KTA logo on his "behind", to commemorate another outstanding KTA event! With Moscow's legendary DJ Spy.der [Борис Спайдер (Boris Spyder)] and Boracay homeboy DJ Erwin Edralin of the legendary Hey Jude Bar Boracay on the decks until sunrise, it was the perfect ending to cap an incredible first leg of this year's KTA, and KTA Philippines totally rocked Boracay Island, once again!
Hertig had this to say about the event, "This was the best event in Boracay we had so far, with prefect conditions, good winds, flat water and the perfect spot along AQUA Boracay's beachfront, which we'll have to top again next year! Bulabog Beach and Boracay Island is definitely one of the best locations in Asia for a competition, and we look forward to seeing AQUA Boracay's completion by next year. Surely, this tropical lifestyle development will be even more stunning in 2013 and in the next five years of KTA Philippines, which they have committed to support."
When asked to compare this year's event with the previous years, Hertig observes, "This year was bigger, better and higher, with more competitors, a higher level of riding, and a more relaxed week with less partying and more time to relax for the riders who focused on the competitions more intensely than in the past. Being the local organizer and competition director, all the hard work paid off upon seeing all those smiles on the riders faces."Hertig thanks all the volunteers for their great job on the flags, the timekeeper, Jim "Frenchie" Thirion for his daily video coverage, Alexandru Baranescu for the incredible photographs, local correspondent Freida Dariofor the daily reportage, "and Willy for doing all the things that I had no time to do!"
KTA would like to thank the following for making this event possible: (Presenting Sponsor) AQUA Boracay; (KTA Co-Sponsor and title brand sponsor) Cabrinha; (Tour brand sponsors) Underground Kiteboards, Maelstorm, and Sprockett Boards; (Local support sponsors) EPIC Boracay, Dos Mestizos, The Sand Bar, and Jungle Bar; (Media Partners) Multichannel Asia, Boulder Creek (Sky TV), Action Asia, Kiteworld Magazine, andKiteforum; as well as the following organizations for their continued support: International Kiteboarding Association (IKA), International Sailing Federation (ISAF), Philippine Watersports Association (PWA),Boracay Windsports Association (BWA), the Philippine Coast Guard – Boracay, and Mayor John Yap.

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 2, Issue 28
This article appeared on TownHall.com on Thursday, May 23, 2002.
Members of the Hard-Left never tire of claiming that theyre extremely intelligent. For example, somehow they always manage to elect the most brilliant president in the history of the United States, or claim to have the smartest first lady the nation ever had. They may be smart in some ways, but when it comes to protecting the homeland, they are exceedingly dumb. If fact, I have often said that having the Hard-Left in charge of our national security is a danger to us all.
Hard-Lefters have two major failings fueling their ignorance: first, they believe that anyone who is truly intelligent would be a member of the Hard-Left, and secondly, they have lousy memories. They fail to remember the lessons from history and are doomed to repeat past mistakes, setting our nation up for disaster.
The Hard-Left adheres to their liberal pacifist ideology even in matters of life and death. Our country is in a battle to the death with fanatical terrorists, and for a while, the Hard-Left was silent because they knew that if they openly criticized the president and his administration during a time of war, they would be toast.
That is, until last week when a fairly impressive strike was launched against the presidency of George W. Bush, covered with the fingerprints of the Hard-Left. Key information was leaked and fingers pointed at the FBI. Soon after the so-called FBI Phoenix memo was sent to other agencies it turned up at The New York Times and The Washington Post.
The easy way out is to blame the FBI for the leak, except that it would be hard to find a single FBI agent who would trade George W. Bush for 10 Bill Clintons. So we must ask why the FBI would try to make Bush look bad? And consider this: why would the FBI leak a memorandum that would make their own agency look incompetent? But, facts dont matter to the Hard-Left; its all about their political agenda.
Last week, The Times and The Post had headlines and identical information that was framed in such a way that citizens who didnt care enough to read deeper might conclude that George W. was not bright enough to read the tea leaves prior to 9-11 and guess that our nation was about to be attacked.
The Hard-Lefts attempt to bring President Bushs high poll numbers down didnt work this time, but they will keep sending up trial balloons to see if the citizens are bored enough to entertain another session of political street fighting here in D.C. If the lies continue, eventually, enough mud will stick. If you tell a big lie often enough, sooner or later people will believe it.
The Hard-Left uses the Big Lie all the time because its one of a few arrows they have left in their quiver. They dont have any real ideas all they have are accusations.
Now, there are those who will claim that the Hard-Left is not much different than the Hard-Right, but thats not true. One of the main differences between the two groups is that the Hard-Right had the evidence to back up their claims of a corrupt, and yes, stupid Clinton presidency.
Supreme Court decisions, federal grand juries, Independent Counsel reports, findings by federal judges and endless testimony in front of congressional committees and sub-committees, not to mention the accurate reporting of many news organizations, provided ample hard evidence of presidential corruption, recklessness and aimlessness.
Because the truth was surfaced, Bill Clinton is left to drag his legacy behind him with all the ceremony and grace of an ogre dragging a hefty fifty-foot chain. Clintons legacy was made without anybody having to fabricate a single fact.
Not only was Bill Clinton immoral and reckless, too often distracted by easy-to-get groupie bimbos, but during his administration the terrorists made steady progress toward September 11, 2001, surprising a new president with barely enough time in office to do a proper damage assessment of the agencies that protect us. In other words, Clinton was not asleep on the job, but he was sleeping on the job. He didnt just squander his legacy he squandered our safety.
Clinton left the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice and other key agencies in a real mess. George W. Bush is still finding this out and fixing broken things as fast as he can. But what is one man supposed to do after years of purposeful neglect? Do citizens honestly believe that Bush, or anyone else, could fix in eight short months all the things Clinton broke?
Of course not! And so, the American people support Bush in steady numbers as the repair work continues and thats what worries the Hard-Left. They are desperate, and desperate people with poor memories and a propensity for lying do desperate things, like endanger the safety of our nation, simply to get power back.
They hate the fact that Americas hero in 2002 is a Republican. The contrast between the most corrupt president in history and one of the most popular and trusted presidents is blatant. Its no wonder the Hard-Left is determined to bring George W. Bush down. Their bad memories prevent them from recalling that they orchestrated and cheered the cutting of defense, the cutting of intelligence agency budgets and did away with human intelligence gathering techniques, all in the name of political correctness. For awhile they were on a roll.
In fact, they rammed political correctness down our throats to the degree that otherwise hard-muscled, steely eyed FBI agents now sweat in all the wrong places at the thought of offending minorities by conducting investigations that could even remotely resemble racial profiling.
Thats what the highly-intelligent Clinton administration did for the FBI, and thats just one agency. Political Correctness killed thousands of Americans on 9-11, and being PC continues to threaten our lives. But if you ask the Hard-Left, they will tell you its all Bushs fault.
If you could sum up the Clinton years you might conclude that the only thing Bill Clinton and his Hard-Left friends gave us was an inability to properly protect ourselves.
Some legacy.
Maybe a few of these Hard-Left critics could follow the yellow brick road to Oz in the hope of getting a brain from the great wizard. American lives are on the line!

Apple is launching its own trade-in program for iPhones, giving consumers another option when it comes to disposing their older gadgets.
Now, users will able to trade-in their current smartphones directly at Apple stores for a credit toward a newer model. Apple spokeswoman Amy Bessette confirmed that the company is rolling out its program Friday.
In a statement, Bessette said: "iPhones hold great value. So, Apple Retail Stores are launching a new program to assist customers who wish to bring in their previous-generation iPhone for reuse or recycling. In addition to helping support the environment, customers will be able to receive a credit."
Previous recycling programs had let users turn in iPhones and older gadgets for a gift card at Apple's stores, but this is the first time Apple has launched a credit program specifically for the iPhone.
The program's launch comes ahead of what analysts expect will be the September launch of at least one new iPhone model � a time when many iPhone owners may be looking to upgrade to a newer model.
In the firm's July earnings call, chief executive Tim Cook had said that he was attracted by the environmental benefits this kind of program could have, but the program also carries a potential upside for the company by encouraging iPhone sales in its own stores rather than through mobile carriers.
Those interested in bringing in their older iPhones for credit toward a newer model must walk out of the store with a new contract, thus making the program a little less flexible than the previous one. If a user's phone passes muster, Apple will credit the value of the phone toward a new model.
With its new program, Apple steps into a crowded field of competing programs offered by companies such as Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon and others, all of which accept older iPhones and other smartphones for cash � something that Apple's new program won't do.
Reselling has become big business for consumers looking to defray the cost of a newer smartphone. The trade-in website Gazelle, for example, reported that it has made more than 1.6 million offers for used iPhones in August alone, and sees the equivalent of as many as four offers per second from people looking to get rid of old smartphones on its website. With Apple participating as well, more smartphone users may opt for the trade-in option, and fuel a boom in the reselling market.
"We estimate the U.S. 're-Commerce' market to be $14 [billion] by 2015, so there's obviously a huge opportunity here for multiple players," said Israel Ganot, Gazelle's chief executive.

November 2-3, 2011
Monterey Plaza Resort & Spa
An annual executive forum promoting the commercialization of MEMS
As engineers combine MEMS devices with integrated circuits to create feature-rich heterogeneous environments, embedded systems have become more complex. Now smartphones may include accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, silicon microphones, RF MEMS, and even micro-displays, to produce a "full package" of intelligence for end-user applications. These new systems require "sensor fusion," which intelligently combines data, software and processing from different sensors (including MEMS). And while consumer products and automotive systems top the list for high-volume MEMS consumption, biomedical/healthcare, industrial and energy increasingly use MEMS technology as well.
The panel will discuss the critical issues affecting MEMS systems integration such as: What is the future of "MEMS sensor fusion"—integrating MEMS with ICs and software in the same application (and even the same package) while meeting or exceeding cost, power and performance requirements? How are MEMS sensors producing more intelligent, and pervasive, wireless networks? How might technologies such as Hewlett-Packard's "Central Nervous System of the Earth" (CeNSE) change our information infrastructure—and what is its potential impact on society?

- Nevirapine (NVP), tenofovir (TDF) and lamivudine (3TC) or emtricitabine (FTC) is effective and well tolerated in naïve HIV-1 infected patients (2008)
- Background: The combination of stavudine (d4T), 3TC and NVP was the WHO recommended first-line regimen for the treatment of naïve HIV-1 infected patients in resource-limited settings. But peripheral polyneuropathy, lipoatrophy and symptomatic hyperlactatemia are frequent and treatment-limiting adverse events associated with stavudine, especially when combined with antituberculous drugs. Tenofovir combined with lamivudine and efavirenz has proven excellent efficacy, but there is little experience when given with NVP. Methods: Retrospective analysis of all patients receiving TDF, NVP and 3TC or FTC as first-line treatment in the Frankfurt HIV cohort. Summary of results: 70 patients (15 female) with a median CD4 cell count of 210/μl (47–949) and HIV-RNA PCR of 140,000 copies/ml (2,500–2,000,000) at baseline received TDF, NVP and 3TC/FTC, and were treated for a median of 68 weeks (16–278). CD4 cells rose up to cells/μl 322 (119–1075) and 75% of the patients remained on treatment. All patients on treatment at week 48 were <50 c/ml, even those starting with CD4 cells of <200 cells/μl or a HIV-RNA PCR >100,000 c/m. Reasons for discontinuation (24%) were mainly adverse events (13%), with rash (7%) and liver toxicity (6%) being the two most common, whereas virologic failure, drug interaction and non-adherence were all relatively rare (each 3%). Conclusion: The combination of NVP, TDF and 3TC or FTC is effective and well tolerated in previously naïve HIV-1 infected patients even when started with low CD4 cell counts (<200/ml) and high viral loads (>100,000 c/ml). In the latest amendment of the WHO guidelines TDF, instead of d4T, is the recommended first-line treatment in resource-limited settings.
- Assessment of liver fibrosis and associated risk factors in HIV-infected individuals using transient elastography and serum biomarkers (2012)
- Background: Liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals is mostly attributable to co-infection with hepatitis B or C. The impact of other risk factors, including prolonged exposure to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) is poorly understood. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of liver fibrosis and associated risk factors in HIV-infected individuals based on non-invasive fibrosis assessment using transient elastography (TE) and serum biomarkers (Fibrotest [FT]). Methods: In 202 consecutive HIV-infected individuals (159 men; mean age 47 ± 9 years; 35 with hepatitis-C-virus [HCV] co-infection), TE and FT were performed. Repeat TE examinations were conducted 1 and 2 years after study inclusion. Results: Significant liver fibrosis was present in 16% and 29% of patients, respectively, when assessed by TE (≥ 7.1 kPa) and FT (> 0.48). A combination of TE and FT predicted significant fibrosis in 8% of all patients (31% in HIV/HCV co-infected and 3% in HIV mono-infected individuals). Chronic ALT, AST and γ-GT elevation was present in 29%, 20% and 51% of all cART-exposed patients and in 19%, 8% and 45.5% of HIV mono-infected individuals. Overall, factors independently associated with significant fibrosis as assessed by TE (OR, 95% CI) were co-infection with HCV (7.29, 1.95-27.34), chronic AST (6.58, 1.30-33.25) and γ-GT (5.17, 1.56-17.08) elevation and time on dideoxynucleoside therapy (1.01, 1.00-1.02). In 68 HIV mono-infected individuals who had repeat TE examinations, TE values did not differ significantly during a median follow-up time of 24 months (median intra-patient changes at last TE examination relative to baseline: -0.2 kPa, p = 0.20). Conclusions: Chronic elevation of liver enzymes was observed in up to 45.5% of HIV mono-infected patients on cART. However, only a small subset had significant fibrosis as predicted by TE and FT. There was no evidence for fibrosis progression during follow-up TE examinations.
- Mobile air quality studies (MAQS) in inner cities: particulate matter PM10 levels related to different vehicle driving modes and integration of data into a geographical information program (2012)
- ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Particulate matter (PM) is assumed to exert a major burden on public health. Most studies that address levels of PM use stationary measure systems. By contrast, only few studies measure PM concentrations under mobile conditions to analyze individual exposure situations. METHODS: By combining spatial-temporal analysis with a novel vehicle-mounted sensor system, the present Mobile Air Quality Study (MAQS) aimed to analyse effects of different driving conditions in a convertible vehicle. PM10 was continuously monitored in a convertible car, driven with roof open, roof closed, but windows open, or windows closed. RESULTS: PM10 values inside the car were nearly always higher with open roof than with roof and windows closed, whereas no difference was seen with open or closed windows. During the day PM10 values varied with high values before noon, and occasional high median values or standard deviation values due to individual factors. Vehicle speed in itself did not influence the mean value of PM10; however, at traffic speed (10 -- 50 km/h) the standard deviation was large. No systematic difference was seen between PM10 values in stationary and mobile cars, nor was any PM10 difference observed between driving within or outside an environmental (low emission) zone. CONCLUSIONS: he present study has shown the feasibility of mobile PM analysis in vehicles. Individual exposure of the occupants varies depending on factors like time of day as well as ventilation of the car; other specific factors are clearly identifiably and may relate to specific PM10 sources. This system may be used to monitor individual exposure ranges and provide recommendations for preventive measurements. Although differences in PM10 levels were found under certain ventilation conditions, these differences likely are not of concern for the safety and health of passengers.

IBM, IBEC do rural Internet broadband
Brace yourself, www.nascar.com
It looks like broadband over power lines is going to get another pass, thanks to the economic stimulus bill that President Obama just signed into law this week.
One of the key IT-related features of the bill, and one that IBM chairman and chief executive officer, Sam Palmisano, has been supporting since last November, when Obama won the U.S. presidential election, is the delivery of broadband Internet services to rural and other underserved (meaning inner city) areas in the country. The final $787bn law, called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), has provisioned $4.35bn for expanding wireless and broadband Internet coverage.
According to IBM, $2.5bn of this is being allocated for rural broadband Internet services and is being dumped into the US Department of Agriculture's rural grants and loans programs. IBM and its partner in broadband over power lines (BPL), International Broadband Electric Communications, waited until this week to make an announcement that they were delivering Internet services to 200,000 residents in rural areas in Alabama, Indiana, Michigan, and Virginia so they could ride the stimulus wave and perhaps capture a lot more business.
As previously reported, Palmisano and a Washington DC think tank with IBM's intellectual (and perhaps financial) backing called the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation have been arguing for the economic stimulus to include $10bn in investments for expanding Internet service to the estimated 40 per cent of households in the United States that are suffering with dialup Internet or who have no Internet service at all.
Not only will bringing high-speed Internet service to underserved communities help spur innovation and do what is right by American citizens, President Obama has also argued, but with the help of stats provided by IBM and the ITIF, it will create (or maintain) jobs. The number that was floated for a $10bn investment came to just under 500,000 jobs created or maintained within the first year of the investment, but only a little less than 64,000 of those jobs would be created or maintained at ISPs and equipment providers who are involved in the Internet buildout. Most of the jobs that came from the $10bn investment were indirect or induced jobs because of the employment of those workers, who spend their paychecks on all manner of things.
Clearly, IBM, the telecommunications companies, and cable operators in the States who were loving all of this talk did not get as much dough as was hoped. But billions are billions, and they will make a beeline to get some of that stimulus sugar.
The main issue with broadband service in rural and inner city areas is that it is expensive to run a fat wire into these areas relative to the size of the revenue stream that Internet providers can expect to get from subscribers in these areas. Power companies have the advantage of already having run wires into these areas to provide power to households.
These wires can be used to transmit radio signals that carry Internet and voice traffic and that can be captured by a modem like cable operators use. The benefit of the BPL approach is that there are almost 900 electric cooperatives in the US, which comprise 45 per cent of the electric grid and, more importantly, span 75 per cent of the acreage of the country.
Under the deal announced this week, which a report in the Albany Business Review pegs at $9.6m, IBM and IBEC will work with Cullman Electric Cooperative in Alabama; Utilities District of Western Indiana REMC, Parke Country REMC and South Central REMC in Indiana; Midwest Energy Cooperative in Michigan; and BARC Electric Cooperative and Central Virginia Electric Cooperative in Virginia to install BPL for 200,000 residents.
Seven down, 893 to go. ®
