The Wii U is the worst gaming console ever to have disgraced the shores of the gaming market, and it will be the downfall of Nintendo as a hardware manufacturer.
I agree 100% only hardcore casuals will defend this flaming turd.
lol "hardcore casuals". I do agree with you and im glad to see the comments in the article agree.
Console gamers.. Dont care about graphics.
Wii U will do fine.
Historically Weak consoles have always done well, check history:
PS1 weakest console of its time, yet was the best selling.
PS2 Weakest console of its time same story,
Wii Weakest console of its time history repeats itself.
This isnt the PC industry where people actually check up specs and benchmarks to see how a certain hardware performs. This is the conso.. casual gamers they dont care about graphcis or performance.
Personally with the neXTBOX and ps4 round the corner Nintendo was stupid to bring out such a weak console ...lemme explain before Nintendo fanboys start a riot..I was rooting for Nintendo I have owned every Nintendo console apart from the wii,I had high hopes for the wii u but Nintendo have given themselves a mountain to climb...this gen they missed out on all the third party games due to their hardware being much inferior to the 360 and ps3 and now history WILL repeat themselves...
what do you think is going to happen when third party developers want to bring out their games simultaneously on the nextbox and ps4? They are not going to waste resources making an inferior version for the wii u...the only third party game I CAN see that will have a dumbed down version for wii u owners is COD...you certainly won't see a dumbed down gta 6 etc
the wii u is a quick fix for now but in the long run will be a costly mistake for Nintendo maybe not in consoles sold but in how its treated by third party devs just like it was with the original wii.
"the wii u is a quick fix for now but in the long run will be a costly mistake for Nintendo"
Not really, Wii was by far the most profitable console this gen. Both MS and Sony struggled. MS might have come out of the red barely, Sony is still probably in the red in this gen. Hence if the Wii U is a repeat for Nintendo just like the Wii, its no way going to be a "Costly Mistake".
@decrypt if that's the case why did third party devs skip the wii? especially with developers complaining th is gen is too long do you really think when they get to go wild on the new hardware of ps4 and nextbox that they will then dumb down their game for the wii u? It didn't happen this gen and won't happen next gen
your point is seriously flawed ps1 and ps2 had third party support the wii didn't.
@reynod if your going to quote me quote me PROPERLY did I say costly in profits? NO
first off how many disagrees you haters got, second off all the Wii u is not the worst console ever made and I have owned every single console on the market since 1988. the worst one to me at least is 360, these are the reasons why.
1 I have had 5 red ring on me all the rest I've only needed to own 1 hell my GameCube and ps1 still work. how many out of the 70 million Xbox 360 are replacements?
2. you have to pay for online which is covered in advertisments all over dash board, usually when you pay for something its add free also they block free to use apps to gold membership, imagine if you had to pay extra money to watch you tube on your phone you would flip out but on Xbox its ok. microsoft have no excuse for this.
3. lack of real exclusives that are not on pc. halo got shit after 2 and I've played them all, 4 doesn't have as good graphics as everyone says, you only need to
look st uncharted and crysis 2 on pc to figure that one out.
4. the Kinect does almost exactly what the eye done on ps2 minus voice recognition its nothing new and hardly works. that alone is the worst thing to happen to gaming.
5. its only good for 3rd party ports that you can get superior versions on pc and they are on ps3 anyway (which has loads of quality first party games, killzone, uncharted, gran turismo, ratchet and clank, infamous, littlebigplannet, soon to be the last of us which is the best looking console game ever made, wipeout, journey and god of war) to name a few.
6. a lot of people only buy one to play cod with there friends which is not a reason to buy a console, my mates keep on trying to get me to buy another Xbox and I refuse to give Microsoft any more money for what I can do on my ps3 and now Wii u for free.
I've tried so hard not to bash Xbox but this Nintendo bashing is getting out of hand you need to grow up and play the system before you can say its shit, why do MULTIPLATFORN PLAYERS SAY THEY PREFER WII U VERSIONS OF XBOX AND PS3 PORTS IF IT IS THE WORST CONSOLE EVER MADE.
Wii u hardware lesoson 101, everything I mention here is fact not rumour I do t talk rumours,
the Wii u has 2 CPUs one on the mcm (multi chip modular) one seprate for os.
it has 4 sticks of 512mb of ram 2 wired to mcm to be shared between CPU and Gpu and 2 wired to os chip and the ram is not as slow as people want to believe it is, show me one article on someone programing for Wii u that has complaints about ram speed.
it has a seprate sound proccessor (unlike Xbox which takes up about a third of the proccessors power for dolby digital) so that "weak proccesor is just to run The core program for games everything else is split up into different processors.
it has a disc read speed of 27mb/s 3 times that of the ps3 (which require mandatory installs because buffer speed is to slow to render textures off disc)
the gamepad doesn't add extra burden on processes its just like splitting an image onto 2 screens on a pc. simple
the Gpu has 32mb of edram which is a significant amount (360 has 9mb edram) do some research if you actually understand what computer components are and how they work before saying something is shit, if you dont understand what are you hitching about as its obvious you don't have a clue.
the Wii u cpu is not a supped up Wii processor it is similar but not the same, the Wii CPU is in/out execution the Wii u is out/in and you can't swap the execution on the same architecture, its the architecture itself that does the execution so it os indeed different.
I don't know anyone that has a Wii U and/or is even talking about it. A lot of the people I know have a PS3 or 360 (One or the other) AND a Wii. Nobody is talking about buying the Wii U ... even for their kids.
The Wii U has nowhere near the buzz the Wii had, the only place I hear anyone talking about the Wii U is on gaming sites like N4G etc.
@millzy102 You say you have owned every single console on the market sine 88 and the 360 is the worst.
Did you really think about that before you said it or are you just making up story's?
Your saying Atari Jaguar, 3DO, Apple Bandai Pippin and the Sega Saturn were better consoles than the 360?
As for the WiiU I think it will be fine once MS and Sony bring out there next consoles as I don't think they are going to be that much more powerful than the WiiU as making expensive console is what really hurt Sony at the beginning of this gen and if you look at the sales of the PSV or even the 3DS before it got it price drop they were not doing that well.
People are hard up at the moment and consoles over £350 when the 1st come out now are not going to sell that well until they get a price drop.
Also Sony and MS will be going after the none core as well as the core market as there is a lot of money to be made in both.
I cant wait to see what Microsoft and Sony have to show us with there next consoles but I don't think the talk will be about how much more power they have over the WiiU.
As for the WiiU its self I think it will be fine when Sony and MS release there next console as it has more than enough going for it.
I was unsure of what to expect from the WiiU when I got it and I have to say I am very impressed with it.
The controller works very well with FPS games as COD (Even though im not a big fan of the game) Works well on the WiiU controller and then I also have ZombieU, MarioU, Seage all stars and Nintendo Land and they all offer different types of Gaming and the WiiU controller works well with them all and offers something different to what the 360 and PS3 offers.
But Add the extra screen on the joypad it adds to the options in the game.
The Wii U will not be for everyone just like the PS3 Xbox ect are not for them but I think the WiiU will be fine for when Sony and MS bring out there consoles.
Some of you appear threatened by the Wii U's existence. It's easy to generalize Wii U owners as "hardcore casuals", but just about everyone I've talked to on Miiverse is a multi-console/PC owner. They are gamers who aren't insecure about which platform they game on, and choose to experience everything they want to experience from games.
Does the Wii U have limitations? Of course. Will it be able to run the top AAA processor hungry titles the PS4 and NeXBOX will? No. But it will be able to do something else... it will play Zelda, Metroid, Mario and other Nintendo exclusives in HD with a completely new input device. That's what Wii U is. It is a console built around a controller. If you don't like it, STFU and stop being a jerk. If you actually had a constructive criticism about Wii U, I would listen, but all some of you do is troll.
Today I learned that I too can write any old terrible fucking article and as long as I make the article title as negative against nintendo as possible... Not only will it get a free pass through the site's approval process, it will also get to the front of N4G.
Any moron knows the worst gaming console ever created was the jaguar. Funny since it was so much more powerful than the competition when it was made available too. Interesting to think about when focusing on the system capabilities = consoles value viewpoint.
"Console gamers.. Dont care about graphics"
You REALLY are convinced that if you say that enough times it will be true, aren't you?
No it's not. The Wii Mini is:
Nobody is threatened by Wii U. Alot of people just think it genuinely sucks because the specs and games are not impressive in the least. And costs to much for what it is and what it can do (its basically a current gen system masquerading as next gen). Plus its Nintendo, and they are cheap! they give you by far the least, they only give you what they have to and nothing more. Plus they are a kids company, and im to old for all the kid/cute sh!t
No the Jaguar was not the most powerful machine for its time, are you crazy, its was weak, very weak. Why do you think it looked bad. It had a 16bit grahics chip and was a very unbalanced architecture. You just think that it was more powerful cuz it claimed to be 64bit compare to the others being 32bit. Its obvious you know nothing about technology other than what they advertise to you. even the 3DO was technically better than the Jaguar.
"The Wii U's three core processor is rumored to run at 1.243125 GHz per core, while the GPU runs at 549 MHz. On the face of it, this is actually slower than its 360 and PS3 competitors. Newer chipsets and architecture probably means that the Wii U is a bit faster in practice than its seven year old competitors. But the next generation of consoles will likely be released within a year, and their specs are almost sure to completely blast the Wii U to smithereens."
It is really sad to say that we are in the year 2012 (almost 2013) and there are people who still think that raw speed equates to performance. Take a page from the kings of speed AMD/Intel as it relates to CPU horsepower. "SPEED" is not what it once was.
Efficiency has shown that things can be processed quicker on newer chips that actually run at a lower clock speed than their older siblings. simply put...the clock doesnt mean what you think.
As to the other systems coming out. People will be very surprised when they wont be the huge leap in technology people have become accustomed to. There will be improvements in performance but the biggest changes will be in the features the newer systems will have.
consoles have been trying to replace many devices in the home entertainment center and this gen they came very close. With TV's have web browsing and netflix abilities, the new consoles will have those plus a plethora of other PC related functions but now be even more convenient than before.
the trend is "convenience" and we are on a convergence of many different devices into a single unit. Many have already moved on from the big bulky PC world to something more mobile with similar performance but most of all convenience.
The specs of the next gen are purely speculation. I would doubt the "smithereens" wont be happening in the sense of computational power but more in the sense of memory to process the workload. Keep in mind, a console (or set-top-box) has nowhere near the overhead of a dedicated PC so the amount of horsepower will not be anywhere close either.
On a side note. the deliberate negativity in this article is evidence that it was written specifically to be negative. It would not surprise me in the least if the author really does like the wii-u but chose to write this for the purpose of seeing the reaction from others.
Um, the CPU is a souped up triple-core Broadway chip. The PPU architecture it is using, is over 10 years old; same stuff from the Gamecube, just retooled. Its really sad that people spew off tech jargon without a full understanding of facts. And the RAM bandwidth is still awful, so that's your next biggest no-no, in terms of performance.
Its fine to like the Wii U and to look forward to playing Nintendo franchises in HD (720p - there are no 1080p native games on the system), but you're not going to get massive performance out of it. After the tradeoffs and advantages are all added up and subtracted from each other, you have a machine about as powerful as a PS360. Period. Better in some respects, weaker in others. An iPad has better juice than this, and that is a FACT.
Edit: I will admit though that this article is pretty misinformed too. And clearly made to incite.
So what if its triple core? My mobile phones a quad core and its only 1ghz.. Sure it has three cores but if it has a low clock speed its gonna struggle.
@mcstorm yes I did think about what I said and although the consoles you mentioned where pretty bad (exception Sega Saturn) I bet they all still work, and It was a different story in the late 80s 90s than today, if you spend 300 dollars on a system at launch you except it to last longer than 2 months (that's how long my first 360 lasted until I sent it to Microsoft that alone makes it the worst console in my eyes) if your paying a premium for online I expect no advertisments even psn and Nintendo network don't have adverts and I would except adverts on these because there free, like free android games have adds but the paid or pro versions don't as advertisment pays for the free game.i have never been so disserpointed in a system before in my life and I expected so much more from the 360 as I loved the old Xbox that is why in my opinion the 360 is the worst, if you have to have 5 of the same system because playing oblivion on it killed it you know its bad.
"the CPU is a souped up triple-core Broadway chip. The PPU architecture it is using, is over 10 years old"
So it's a tripled in power version of a chip design that is enhanced by newer technology? I think that's the DEFINITION of a new processor architecture design. Is it really going to be so bad to admit WiiU is a reasonably powerful machine? Do you folks really find it easier to do mental gymnastics other than accept that new tech is new tech and likely better then 5 year old options? I mean it seems unhealthy.
Being 1.24Ghz isn't slow at all. For comparison, the person who created the emulator for the Wii on PC stated that core for core, xbox 360 is only 20 percent faster than the 729Mhz wii cpu. For refrence, the xbox 360 core has 2 threads each running at 1.6Ghz. The difference is the architecture, the Wii/Wii U cpu's have a extremely low CPU pipeline(4 or so stages) compared to PS3,360 which have roughly 20. So to do lets say a float multiplication on the Wii U cpu is actually much faster than it is on the Ps3 and 360. Plus, the metro developers clarified they were talking about the very early dev kits and if your recall, the devkits got a lot stronger after that.
Well its confirmed people, Nintendo will leave the consol market and focus only on the handheld market - Valve Steam Box will replace Nintendo.
N4G is about to become a war zone with the PS4 Clan vs the 720 tribe vs the Steam Box aluminaties :)
I think you meant "illuminati" and not "aluminaties".
I am pretty sure many of them would refer to themselves as the enlightened ones and not an aluminium/oxygen compound.
if steam box arrives the one who will be replaced is most likely Microsoft...
Do some research why Microsoft is the only one wo will be hurt...
Its funny how a company like Nintendo survives soooo many console gens and no one can't even touch the glory of Big N...
Live with it!
You two are trolling morons, get a life.
Worst console ever?
Let me educate this kid. I spent over $300 for a Atari Jaguar, stayed up all night just to open it up xmas morning to load up cybermorph!
but damn if AvP didn't make that system every bit worth while!
.......Um that title belongs to Onlive or Action Max!!!!
Also when Zelda WiiU or Metroid WiiU comes out or a Nintendo Game that pushes the WiiU innovative abilities to the Max you Clowns will be foaming at the mouth!
Nintendo is not all about GRAPHICS but more about friendly fun family Gaming and the WiiU will provide that just fine for those who don't need all their games to be Rated M
Why hasn't this been removed for trolling?
If anyone said "I agree 100% only hardcore casuals will defend this flaming turd." in anything PS3/PS4 it would have been removed in minutes.
Or anything Xbox, for that matter.
Nice try, though.
This article wouldn't last 5 minutes on here if it had ps3 or 360 in the title. Happy now Hicken?
This is complete flamebait. The site seems to have been made just to make this article and get hits. And yet it was approved.
A serious lack of quality control is in place here.

If it`s any consolation, I approved it by mistake. I was looking who approved it, my son was climbing on me and hit enter accidentally. I was the 10th approval. Sorry. I couldn't take it back being the 10th. I would if I could and yes this story should be removed, just based off of it`s the only story on the entire site.
I know one thing for sure..... it's not a good thing for Nintendo that a few weeks after they launched the Wii u I can go to just about any store and find one, target, best buy, GameStop, and Walmart all have both versions in stock... might just be in nwohio, but it's not a good sign for Nintendo. IMO not selling out of all there stock is a very bad thing.
The ps3 and 360 were widely available after launch, there was always plenty in stock. How are they doing now?
It took me a lot of trips to multiple stores to find a 360, a PS3, and a Wii. And in the case of the Wii, and PS3, I waited at best buy for hours because, they "might be on the truck" the 360 I just happened to stumble on
^^^^^^ Says the crybaby ps3 fanboys.
dont you ps3 crybabies ever get tired of writing and submitting your own blogs to complain about nintendo or microsoft?
Yeah right... I'm glad I got my WiiU. And I have been gaming for 25 years now. I've got all Nintendo consoles, all Sony consoles and a 360. I play all kinds of single player games from RPG's to adventures to platformers. My collection consist of about 400 boxed games (that's not world devestating, but it show that I'm not one who only plays Mario for example)... But hey. Bumpmapping says I'm 100% hardcore casual, just because I don't shit on the WiiU.
I'm not giving this trash hits.
There are random consoles that sold like 800 units...
And this is somehow worse ?
What a trash human being this person is.
@mcstorm whoa whoa whoa... I get your point but don't throw the Sega Saturn under the bus with the likes of the 3DO and Jaguar. The Saturn had excellent games, is durable as heck (mine still works just fine), and took online gaming to the next level- going well beyond what the XBAND did for the Genesis and SNES. Sure, it got trounced by the N64 and PS1 in sales but that does not make it a "worst console" candidate.
Wow, this article was just made to start flame wars between narrow minded fanboys.
Also, is it just me or is this Wii U article the only thing on the ENTIRE linked website. Something smells fishy here?
And people think it's just Sony who gets attacked. Can you imagine how many responses this topic would get if the headline was PS3 instead of the Wii U?
This article mainly deals with the technical side of the Wii U hardware. Specs aren't going to be the issue for Nintendo, it will be in software support. Just like its always been. You have a device like the 3DS that on a technical front isn't very impressive but sales would indicate otherwise.
However I don't see the Wii U repeating the success of the Wii. I think Nintendo rode the wave of motion controls and the Wii U kind of complicates that. Casual gamers supported the Wii because it offered something new while being very easy to use. Nintendo has now run the risk of coming across a system with new gameplay features but also marketing itself as a more serious platform for hardcore gamers. I don't know if they will be able to pull it off. Not when you still have major publishers treating it as a secondary product. Some of the big games coming in 2013 have no plans for the Wii U. Meanwhile the casual gamer might be put off with having to deal with multiple screens.
Just look at the comments section of that article, arguments between a bunch of dumb fanboys. We might joke about how n4g is bad, but the community here is really alright compared to a lot of websites.
"fishy" would be an understatement.
that site was created just to spew hate over Wii U...
LOL, I am so sick of people who have not even sat and spent HOURS with the console bashing something they know NOTHING about accept perhaps a demo at the local Gamstop. I have PS3 and Wii U also a great PC. Wii U, is a GREAT system, and some games I wish I had bought on it rather than my PS3, such as BOPS2, Madden13, Assassins Creed3. I don't care what this or any other person thinks about it. I like it, own it, and can compare it FAIRLY, to my other options to play. The internet is seamless something my PS3 is not, even Youtube (not the app) on Wii U is better. If you are a "Gamer" Please if you have not used the Wii U in depth, don't bad mouth it, as you have not even tried it. I forgot to say, the screen on the gamepad looks great! You can see that anywhere!
All the people bad mouthing the Wii U, are people who don't own it and have never experienced it first hand outside of a kiosk, and have no life of any substance. Trying to compare the $350 Wii U to a $800 iPad is just silly and immature, and clearly is a comparison from someone who has never experianced the Wiiu. Nintendo dares to different something different, and offer experiences that can only be had with Nintendo.
IM actually interested in picking up a Wii U, just want to see what the game lineup is for the holidays. Anybody who thinks Nintendo is competing with the other two spec for spec doesn't understand their business model. In fact they have the same philosophy as Sony. FIRST PARTY EXCLUSIVES.
Is the battery life on the controller really a problem?
You can plug it in while playing. You can use it at about 30 feet away? You cannot walk back 30 feet after 3 or 4 hours of only playing on the gamepad to plug it in?
It's just a controller with a screen on it. What were honestly planning to do with it?
Edit: This loser created a website to bash a console? It's the only thing on the site.
Nintendo is hated on the most, confirmed.
Isn't it so incredibly pointless? Hating will get you no where in life.
"So, the touch screen is next to useless, the resolution is laughably low, and, to seal the deal, the battery life is terrible. The controller only lasts a couple of hours before it needs to be charged."
"Nintendo has created a console with a gimmick that, once again, is almost absurdly behind the times in its technological capabilities. Except this time, the gimmick isn't fresh. It is isn't something people haven't seen before."
Tough words ;)
and they are only that.. "words"
The Touch screen is not multi-touch. Big deal. Any ios game or android game I have ever played only needed multi-touch because they didn't have phsyical buttons in place to control the game. What, do you need a pinch-zoom in a game now?
The resolution looks perfectly fine when using it. I haven't noticed any issues myself, but I own the console, so who am I to make such a bold claim right?
The Battery lasts 3-5 hours, however I don't play for more than like 2 hours at a time because I have other responsibilities in life, so the battery works just fine for me. There is a 3rd party battery coming out that will double the battery life, so I will definitely be looking at purchasing that whenever it comes out. Plus if I am using the Pro Controller, that thing lasts for approx 80 hours, so I don't have to worry about running out of juice for that thing.
And as for the not fresh part, I haven't seen a console use what looks like a handheld as their main input device. The Vita doesn't count because not many people own that thing, and developers aren't going to waste their time and money developing things so that 1% of the Playstation 3 userbase can enjoy it.
I hate the word gimmick, you realize that the word was never created with a negative context. It's only the cool people who thought that gimmick meant something bad.
gimmick - an ingenious or novel device, scheme, or stratagem, especially one designed to attract attention or increase appeal.
the Automobile, the PC, the HDTV, 3D, video games, all started out as gimmicks.
People bash and bash, that is what they are good at. Wii U is a great system, let these fanboys bash it all they want. I for one am enjoying it. Most of these people that are bashing it, don't have one. Nor have they even played it, with the exception of a demo, and that does not count.
@Neonridr: Could not have said it better myself! Bubbles up for you sir!
kindle fire is single touch and uses pinch feature its just the capictive screen that limits it but its not a deal breaker its very capable and you dont need much more that that. nintendo gives you value for your dollar.
devices nowadays dont last that long anyways for one. resolution on a screen that small doesnt matter at all touch screen is capable. conservative gamers i swear you sound like the idiots who thought analog sticks were a step in the wrong direction let alone two...heaven forbid
Read the comments after the link. There is a war going on in there.
Worst console ever? I only have to look as far as the Virtual Boy to know that the Wii-U isn't. Whatever...
Idiots who count as 2 or 3 approvals.
Was wondering that myself man. This kinda shit disgusts me as a gamer.

But now that we live together we seem to be fighting all the timeVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Female
I am 19 and my boyfriend is 29. We have been together for two years now and we even have a baby together. When we first got together our relationship was perfect. We never fought or argued or anything. But now that we live together we seem to be fighting all the time and it's always about stupid things that would never bother us before. I really do love my boyfriend and I could never imagine myself with anyone else and I know he feels the same about me. Why are we fighting so much now that we are living together? Is there anything we can do because we do not want to be apart from eachother. Please help!!!!!

There is a very easy way to stop the arguing... YOU stop arguing... just agree with him. That is not going to work all the time, but it should stop a lot of arguments.
Another way is for both of you to use a signal to the other that a fight seems to be in the air. Use the peace symbol or Spock's fingers. Sometimes a fight will stop once you realize you are about to.
Try writing down the day, date, time of every fight into a notebook. Then you can look back at it and see if there is a pattern whether weekly or monthly or it might just be a day of the week.
Good luck! George

Winningest Programs in College Football
College football is one of the most fierce games played. The sound of the fans packing in their teams stadiums on a Saturday to watch their favorite teams do battle is an experience. Some of these teams have had a large amount of success while a select few have went down in history as being almost God like. We will look at a few of the teams that have had the largest number of wins in their schools history. These teams have been the most successful in amassing victories.
Ohio State Buckeyes
The Buckeyes have been successful to the tune of 885 wins. This is a very impressive feat that few teams have been able to even come close to. Last season the Buckeyes went 12-1 for the season and won impressively in the Fiesta Bowl over the Irish of Notre Dame. When 2016 arrived many wondered if the Buckeyes would still be at the same level that they were at last season and the answer to this question was very much a yes.
Nebraska Corhuskers
Nebraska has managed to take 889 victories in their time of existence. This has been one of the best performances from this team that has fallen off the national map in the past couple of seasons. The team has started to turn things around a little bit though. Last season, however, was not the case as the team did not have a season that they would be proud of. Then 2016 came along and it has been a whole new program as the team is back to their winning ways. If this keeps going, there is a chance that Nebraska will move up in the overall rankings for being the a team with the most overall wins team in college football.
Texas LongHorns
Tied with Nebraska, the spot for #3 may be at stake this weekend as it will be a matter of winning and losing. For Texas. Seeing as though this year is not exactly going all that well, it is possible that we will see Nebraska overtake Texas for the third spot. Texas under Mac Brown was a powerhouse, but ever since he retired, the team has been very lackluster to say the very least. This may be part of why fans are not as behind the team as they once were. The Pride of Texas needs a shot in the arm to return to the glory days that won them 889 games in the schools history.
Notre Dame
Here you have a school that is rich is history and has a proud tradition of upholding the winning ways for the school. When you play for the Irish, you are joining an elite group of men that have strapped up and taken to the football field to do battle with some of the best teams in the nation. In the schools history, they have managed to win a total of 896 games. This will put them four games away from that beloved 900 games won. This also means that they are in second by 38 games with Michigan. The next few seasons will prove to be interesting as both teams will be duking it out for that coveted #1 spot.
Michigan Wolverines
Michigan is a team that plays smash mouth football and takes no prisoners. It has always been that way and will continue to be that way for as long as the game is played. Michigan is a team that has been getting better and better over the years and will soon be an unstoppable force.

Charleston Golf Courses
Charleston, South Carolina has been made famous for its many historic "firsts." The first shots of the Civil War... the first decisive patriot victory of the American revolution... the first museum in America. What many people don't realize is that the game of golf also figures prominently on this list.
Over 200 years ago Charleston was the site of America's first golf course and golf club. In 1786 the South Carolina Golf Club was formed and established "Harleston Green" in what is now downtown Charleston. In fact, the term "green fee" is thought to have evolved from the membership fees paid by club members to maintain their course. While Charleston Green is a long-gone memory, it established a heritage and tradition of golfing excellence that today is evident throughout the Lowcountry.

Charleston Golf Transportation
Charleston International Airport serves western South Carolina and has daily flights from US Airways, Continental, Delta, Northwest and United Airlines. There are numerous car rental counters in the airport. Taxi fare from the airport to most surrounding areas is around $20. However, if you are headed to Seabrook Island or Kiawah Island, expect to pay a little more.
If you are driving to Charleston, take I-26 east off of I-95. Interstate 95 runs north and south along the East Coast through Miami, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. If you are coming from west of Charleston you will have to take several highways through the Western Carolinas until you reach the coast. If you are coming from the north and enjoy a scenic view try highway 17 along the Carolina Coast through Myrtle Beach.

The Origin
The origin of the Indian Astrology can be traced to Jyothishmati. It is amazing that the ancient Gurus had the mathematical ability to calculate precisely the movement of planets and forecast celestial events such as eclipses, natural calamities, and war, etc., years in advance.
Based on the precise movements of the planets and the forecast of celestial events, the complex analysis uses a variety of Indian charts to create the bridge from personal limitation to boundlessness. Calculations blend thousands of years of mathematical efforts to precisely depict natural events into the future.
The predictions are unique to you and cover the many components of your life – love, home, career, education, future success, and much more.

Our team of Yogis, led by a master, have adopted 'Chitrapaksha Ayanamsa' for all our calculations as it is the most popular and widely-used ayanamsa system in India. The reports are prepared using calculations that are based on scientific equations and not on any specific published almanac. Therefore, comparisons between the report with those published in almanacs are absolutely unwarranted. MBS Therapy, its vendors and allies, shall not entertain any dispute on differences arising out of such comparisons. MBS Therapy, its vendors and allies, cannot be held responsible for the decisions that may be taken by anyone based on this report.

In case of any errors, our liability is limited to the replacement of the report with a rectified one. No two astrologers agree on all matters and there are contradictory opinions voiced by different experts on both predictive and calculation aspects of astrology. It is to be emphasized here that the calculations and predictions you obtain from our Jataka are no doubt an independent work. We are happy to note that this is well-accepted by the public and astrologers at large and many times quoted as authentic in cases of dispute. We do not claim undue dependence or support any specific school of thought or system of astrology.

The Major Scale
This is my first music theory lesson. I figured I would start with the major scale because a lot of music theory is based on the major scale. Therefore, to learn music theory an understanding of the major scale is essential. If you are completely new to music theory you will want to start by learning some basic notation (note names, rhythms, time signatures, etc) before learning major scale theory. That said, this lesson is fairly basic and you shouldn't need much of a music theory background to understand it. Continue reading

Accra — Petroleum products have increased by between 15 and more than 20 percent, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA)announced.
The price increment took effect Monday.
The price of petrol (premium) saw the highest increase up 23,08 percent to GH¢3.36 a litre.
Kerosene saw an increase of 23,75 percent while diesel increased 22,01 percent to 327pesewas.
Premix fuel also went up by 25,6 per cent to GH¢1.57 per litre.
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) saw an upward increase of 15,68 percent, selling now at GH¢3,32 per litre according to the latest NPA figures.
This is the third time the NPA increased the fuel prices this year.
Meanwhile, transport operators have already announced a 15 percent increment in fares with immediate effect.
The new fares announced Saturday, was reached after consultations between the Transport Ministry and the transport operators represented by the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council (GRTCC).
In a joint statement officials said the new transport fares cover intra-city (Trotro), inter-city (Long Distance) as well as taxi cabs.
They urged transport operators to strictly comply and charge only approved fares as well as publish them at the various transport terminals to avoid any confrontation with passengers.

Anyone who doubts that America is the greatest nation in the world need only look to the Burning Ring of Fire that has ignited around the Helotes Mulch Fire.
It's now officially called the "Debris Fire" because there's a lot of debris and very little organic matter, but maybe I'm just old-fashioned. It's always going to be a Mulch Fire in my heart.
Uncontrollable acts of nature, such as the Mulch Fire, Britney Spears' ongoing meltdown or the annual Ash Wednesday rush for seafood, are very big on MySA's Anchor Desk.
First, there's the Mulch Fire itself. Who lets crap stack that high anywhere?
The answer: People who live in the rural-metro netherworld.
That's the area, just outside any large city, which is neither small town nor big city. It's not ruled by small town peer pressure, nor by overzealous, pencil-pushing, anal-retentive city inspectors. It's like living in the the Badlands or Mos Eisley, only with well water. In the rural-metro netherworld, you can keep chickens in your $500,000 house, or put marble on the floors of your mobile home. And you can stack as much stuff — mulch, sofas, Buicks, etc — as high as you want on your property.
After the Mulch Fire began, came the game of "hot potato" (or "hot, burning tree limb") as local, county and state officials kept tossing the smoking pile into someone else's lap. Government officials who don't want to flex muscle? Yeah, that's America, too.
Fire sale! All items must be in bad taste!
Then — and this is my favorite part — came the marketing. Capitalism works best when smart people figure out how to make money from nothing.
Amanda Reimherr writes that, while the Mulch Fire is no laughing matter because of potential health risks, there are some people who thinks it's hysterical. There's been YouTube videos, MySpace pages such as "I Want Helotes To Burn" and now, T-shirts and other Mulch Fire must-haves being hawked on Café Press.
My favorites, by the way, are the "Mulch Fires Suck" coffee mug and "Honk If You Hate Mulch Fires" bumper sticker.
Plus, there's bitter sarcasm and Mulch Fire haiku, too, on themulchfire.com. Here's one called "When the cows come home:"
my steers are aflame
dehydrated by the blaze
please bring cool water
All good/bad things, however, must end. In two weeks, officials say, it could all be over.
More (serious) proof that America is the greatest nation in the world
Click here and watch an ABC News story about people who greet returning soldiers at DFW Airport. You may have already seen it. If so, watch it again.
I am an abstain on the Roman Catholic Church
Speaking of fire and ash, it's Ash Wednesday. That's the first day of Lent, a period of penitence lasting 40 days (excluding Sundays) for Roman Catholics. It ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. Many Roman Catholics will mark the day by getting ashes, in the shape of a cross, smeared on their forehead.
The most important thing you need to know about Ash Wednesday: Every Long John Silvers in America will be packed to its gills tonight as Catholics — who must fast all day and can't eat meat when they do — line up for some tasty, deep-fried fish-like stuff. Expect a run on Filet-o-Fish sandwiches at McDonalds, too.
Most Catholics then mark Lent by giving up a food, or an activity, or some favorite pastime, during the 40 days, as a form of penance. As always, I will abstain from Catholicism during Lent.

Maybe not in 2010, maybe not for a few years, but, if things don't work out well between Microsoft and Yahoo! I think there will be far more layoffs at Yahoo! as Google eats their lunch.
Even if the Microsoft-Yahoo! deal works out in terms of the legal hurdles, the whole deal removes a lot of what made Yahoo! the company they were: search. While they have lots of great content, is that enough by itself to remain truly profitable long-term, keeping in mind that they're ad-driven for revenue? Is Yahoo! turning into a pure content company? At this time, things are still up in the air: it's not clear what Yahoo!'s focus is, and that's the biggest problem for survival. The problem with Yahoo! and their product is that customers aren't locked in by needing to run their product to run other products: Microsoft may not be doing as well as they'd think they should, but it's really hard to fight the inertia of having 90% OS market share for consumer-level computers, when you consider the very large application market for apps that require Windows, that aren't that easily moved over to other platforms, because that's a costly proposition, especially when you compare potential market for other OSes. Cost of moving from Microsoft Windows to another OS: relearn various applications and their equivalents (if they exist) on the other platforms, as well as acquiring them: while some are free, there are likely far more proprietary applications that aren't on the open general market that are used and valued, and then there's the inertia of learning anything new. While for switching from one search engine/site to another, it all comes down to clicking different links, or typing them in the address bar: unless you're a social networking fool and connected via specific services to lots of your friends, it doesn't have an awful lot of stickiness to it!
There's an important lesson here: regardless of how good technology a company puts out, regardless of how great the company is, if people choose something else because they've got it on their mind, it's still failure for all practical intents and purposes. History has shown that it's not always the superior solution that sells: it's just what people adopt, good, bad or ugly, and where things are easily switched from, sooner or later, they are, en masse by the public, on a whim. Ask yourself: if a particular web-based company disappeared off the web, how much would it disrupt your life in work and home use? Even Microsoft, for all their money they can throw at problems, can't make you use their web-based stuff and be profitable at it, regardless of their claims (provable or not) of having superior web search/analytics technology: quite simply, Google has out-marketed Yahoo! and Microsoft, and by leveraging network effects for economies of scale and value of data, they've got the lion's share of network traffic for search, which only gets more valuable at a non-linear rate based on number of users. However, Google may collapse under their own weight of data: how many times have you tried to find something, only to get so many results from Google that you'd need to be immortal to get through them to separate the wheat from the chaff? Perhaps there's a natural maximum size for them they can grow to before they reach a point of diminishing/stable returns, but Microsoft, Yahoo! and any others need to have that happen soon to remain profitable (Yahoo! in general over the years has been profitable online, just not as wildly profitable as Google: Microsoft has, in general, only lost money online) or even relevant. The other big factor that may stop Google from becoming the Web Borg indefinitely: people's distrust of any single entity having too much power over their data and privacy. This may be the salt to the sugar fuel to the bread dough-like growth of Google, that causes things to stop growing at a certain point...
[disclaimer: i'm a yahoo user, so there may be bias]
I don't think so.. Yahoo! was rather something else; it was a web portal and Yahoo's the last surviving one of them. Considering how statistics suggest Bing and Google have eaten up Yahoo's share in search market; I'm not surprised they're being eaten up.
That said, Yahoo's noticeably shifting its focus and I can see their ads all over the place*. Maybe Yahoo has new incentive. Personally; I'm content with YahooI stick to Yahoo because of Mail, Messenger, Delicious and Flickr.
On the other hand, it'll definitely be interesting to see how Google will go. Who knows, maybe it'll become the IBM; dominant for years until a change will take place in the market that Goo would fail to notice. I just hope it doesn't become Intel - a *persistent* monopoly..
EDIT: * when I say ads, I don't mean web ads. I mean billboard ads in my country, India
Edited 2009-12-04 20:29 UTC
Yes, I agree that although search is how Yahoo got its start, it hasn't been its reason for existence in more than a decade.
Yahoo's main function is and has been for a long time as a portal--a kind of replacement for ex-AOL users who just upgraded to "the raw internet" (which it was long before AOL itself turned into a web-based portal). It has long been one of the most "trusted" brands by average people for webmail, news, stocks, etc. Google on the other hand, started out with just search, and added all of the stuff Yahoo already had (mail, groups, news, etc) in a gradual manner. Which is why there are still plenty of people who go to Yahoo instead of Google, because they still see Google as primarily "just a search" site.
Yahoo also has lots of cool but severely under-marketed technology up its sleeve--it has a really nice AJAX web applications platform with Zimbra, and it's got an awesome content mashup tool in Yahoo! pipes. Yahoo's main problem as I see it is an unwillingness to experiment with any kind of branding that is not "Yahoo!" When it bought Konfabulator, it totally messed with its guts and renamed it Yahoo Widgets--a recipe for fail. Ditto for Zimbra--it's now branded the Yahoo Zimbra Desktop. Just about the only thing it didn't try to impose its brand on was Flickr (and thank god it didn't).
If you compare Yahoo's approach to AOL's, AOL (believe it or not) does a much better job of building brand recognition by allowing each of its brands to flourish under its own banner, without being obviously tainted by the AOL name. Engadget, MapQuest, Moviefone, TMZ, ICQ--How many people even realize that these are AOL properties? And yet AOL still gets the advertising bucks. Yahoo could learn something. Or (my favorite pet imaginary deal) Yahoo could just buy AOL outright and acquire a large stable of great content websites at a (most likely) bargain price.
My only big pet peeve of Yahoo is that they're now the *only* major webmail provider that charges extra for POP access. What year are we living in???
I don't even remember Yahoo getting its start from pure search capabilities. I remember that it excelled at its categorizations of the search results. Yahoo has had several search providers in the past, so having microsoft do it is really nothing new. Some past providers:
Altavista (starting in 1996)
Google ( until 2004m then it created its own search engine)
So switching to Bing? Not that big of a deal.

While the Great Recession of 2008 has created many hardships in the United States and abroad, it has also stimulated interest in the study of economics. Perhaps as a result, the Department of Economics is vibrant and growing. In the past five years, our number of majors has increased from 196 to 221 while the number of minors has more than doubled, from 98 to 237. Students are drawn to the Economics Department for our exciting, relevant, and rigorous classes. Faculty have the opportunity to teach courses related to their research interests, making the classroom a dynamic laboratory of learning, with a number of students going on to work with professors on their research projects. In addition to the courses we offer at all levels of our discipline, we are pleased to participate in the Teacher-Advisor Program (TAP) with small seminars for students in their first semester on topics such as Latin American Development, Economics of Space, and Gender and the Economy. We also contribute a course to the thriving Integrated Social Science Program (ISSP), in which a committed group of students takes five courses together in their first year, including one in Economics on Capitalism and Human Welfare. We've expanded the curriculum in recent years with new classes on Advanced Microeconomic Theory, Computational Economics, Economic Data in Policy Analysis, Global Financial Crisis, Time Series Econometrics and, at the introductory level, Economics of Globalization.
Students have had the chance to work on their own research projects and to assist faculty scholarly endeavors. In particular, students were involved last year in Professor Ross Thomson's research on technological change in the United States after the Civil War and Associate Professor Nathalie Mathieu-Bolh's research on taxes and subsidies on food that may affect the rate of obesity. Undergraduate theses in economics have explored a great diversity of topics, from "Minimum Wage and High School Disenrollment in Vermont" to "The Road to Diversification of the U.S. Chemical Industry: A Case Study of DuPont 1900-1945" to "A Re-examination of Inflation and Growth" to "Trust and Behavior in a Model of Financial Markets." In recent years, our graduates have enrolled in a variety of graduate and professional programs at institutions including University of California at Davis, Kellstadt Graduate School of Business at DePaul University, Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, Northeastern University Law School, and Boston University Law School. Others have found employment at places such as IBM, GE Capital, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the Clinton Foundation, the Vermont Department of Health, the Institute of International Finance, and Ithaca High School.
Faculty are doing research on topics of great current interest, such as diet and behavior, environmental regulation, and the quality of work. Notable contributions are "Oligopolies, with (Somewhat) Environmentally Conscious Consumers," (Journal of Economics and Management Strategy) by Assistant Professor Donna Ramirez-Harrington; "The 'Twinkie Defense': the relationship between carbonated non-diet soft drinks and violence perpetration among Boston high school students," (Injury Prevention) by Associate Professor Sara Solnick; "What Do Revolving Door Laws Do? Evidence from Public Utility Commissions," (Journal of Law and Economics) by Associate Professor Marc Law; "Optimal Taxation and Borrowing Constraints," (Economia) by Associate Professor Nathalie Mathieu-Bolh; "The Political Economy of Currency Boards: The Case of Bosnia and Herzegovina," (South East European Journal of Economics and Business) by Associate Professor Shirley Gedeon; "Help or Hindrance? Religion's Impact on Gender Inequality in Attitudes and Outcomes," (World Development) by Professor Stephanie Seguino; and "Flexibility for Whom? Control Over Work Schedule Flexibility in the United States," (Feminist Economics) by Associate Professor Elaine McCrate. At the same time, we don't ignore the past and have well-published faculty doing work on economic history, such as "Did the Telegraph Lead Electrification? Industry, Science and Innovation in the United States," (Business and Economic History) by Professor Ross Thomson and "Military Conquest and Sovereign Debt: Chile, Peru and the London Bond Market 1876-1890," (Cliometrica) by Associate Professors Catalina Vizcarra and Richard Sicotte.
The Economics faculty has spread its influence internationally and deepened its impact locally. Here are some examples:
As you can see, this is a very rewarding time to study, teach, and learn economics at the University of Vermont.

etour | My OHIO Portal
Feb. 8, 2006By Josh Blair
If someone knew they would be wrong only one time out of a billion, they might want to consider moving to Vegas.
Yet, for an aircraft to land using Global Positioning System (GPS), it must be proven that the GPS signal is correct 999,999,999 times out of a billion. Yes, that is nine nines, and as you can imagine, proving something that many times is not an easy thing to do.
GPS is a satellite navigation system used for determining precise locations that consists of a constellation of 24 satellites that circle the Earth twice a day. Obstructions in the air and on the ground can cause the GPS signal to be faulty. But thanks to senior electrical engineering major Clint Barker and his work with research engineer Curtis Cohenour, this task is going to be a little bit easier.
The two are using a self-constructed hemicap, which is an eight-foot-long, four-feet-in-diameter, Tylenol-shaped capsule made out of sheet metal, to verify their GPS multipath model. Multipath is the phenomenon where the GPS signal at the receiver is a combination of the direct signal and a number of reflections from the ground and objects. The hemicap is used to represent cylindrical objects on the ground, such as fuel tanks, that might corrupt the direct signal.
"The objective is to measure the distance from the satellite to the receiver," Cohenour said. "Any signal that bounces off the ground or an object travels a longer path and corrupts the direct signal at the antenna.
"We can model the reflections from the ground and buildings, but we also need to model things like aircraft, fuel tanks and, of course, giant Tylenol capsules. We have shown that we can accurately model the ground and the buildings, now we are working on cylindrical objects."
The team's goal is to predict what the GPS signal is going to do regardless of the situation and regardless of what land features might cause obstructions in the signal.
"You can't just land an airplane with GPS because even though you might have sufficient accuracy," Cohenour said, "you can't guarantee that there's not some error in the signals. If the airplane's in the fog, and there's something wrong with the GPS satellite, it might run the airplane into the ground."
Cohenour has receivers on the ground at the test site that pick up the GPS signals. When conducting an experiment, he and Barker put an antenna on the ground and monitor the GPS satellite signals for three days. Then, they put the hemicap up, watch the satellite signals for another three days and measure the difference in error when the hemicap is present. They can then look at the measurement error, which are caused by the signals bouncing off the ground and other objects and off the hemicap, and tell what the changes are.
Specifically, they are using mathematical models to show the electromagnetic field caused by the objects, the antennas and the GPS receiver. The question they seek to answer: Does the electromagnetic field of the model reflect what you'd get in real life?
Barker became involved with the project in May of last year after he had been interning with the avionics department at the Ohio University Airport. He wanted to learn more about electrical engineering, so he figured it would be a good experience for him. "It's a chance to take some of the stuff we've learned in school, equations and stuff that is hard to actually visualize, and visualize what I'm learning," Barker said.
One of Barker's tasks is taking part of the mathematical computer model and adapting them to run specific satellite passes and geometries of the experiment. His work involved a lot of field experiments and computer programming, which includes some advanced math. Barker said he work can be challenging at times. "What I'm doing as an undergraduate is something a graduate student would be doing for a thesis," he said.
Barker said once he graduates, he would like to stay in the avionics field and to hopefully one day work for a company such as Boeing or Lockheed-Martin. This project, which is sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration, is beneficial to Clint's goals because "just having an 'in' and knowing what those people expect from you give me that much more of a heads up," he said.
With all of the hands-on research Barker is doing with the hemicap project, hopefully to a potential employer, he'll be someone to bet all of their chips on.

It's easy to get pretty jaded with the "Catfish," on Catfish (CLICK HERE to find out the original of the term) and even Nev and Max seem a little weary with them on Season 2, but last week's episode really pulled my heartstrings. Are Mike and Kristen still friends after the truth came out?
Mike and Kristyn (as she called herself online) had a romance for three years without ever meeting even though they lived pretty close to each other. When Nev and Max investigated they found out that it appeared she had not lied about much, but the fact that his online love might have lied about anything enraged Mike, but he decided to meet up with her anyway.
When they met up it was revealed that besides the name spelling, Kristen had lied about her last name and her appearance. She really had been through a traumatic car accident and had a glass eye. Mike had helped Kristen get through her devastating recovery period when she got kicked out of school for missing too much due to surgeries, and lost all of her friends because she gained 130 pounds. She said she almost felt like giving up and killing herself, but her relationship with Mike was what kept her going and saved her life.
After Kristen revealed her emotional story, Mike softened and said he was glad he could be there for her, but he immediately deleted her contact information when they left her house. A few weeks after taping, however, he made contact with Kristen again and they became friends again! Not exactly a love connection, but when you find a real friend, they're usually worth keeping.
Things are looking up for Kristen, who is now living with her boyfriend, is losing weight and complete cosmetology school. Mike is currently single
Catfish airs Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. on MTV.

UPDATE, MAY 20, 10:08 A.M.: After a mistrial was declared Thursday in the trial of Gabriela Mariana Morales, who stood accused of murder in the beating death of her 4-year-old son, prosecutors announced they will retry the case. A lone juror was unwilling to convict the 28-year-old Santa Ana woman of anything, while a second juror refused to vote for a second-degree murder count. That juror did join the other 10 in finding Morales guilty of assault and child abuse.
After questioning the jury foreman, Orange County Superior Court Judge John D. Conley in Santa Ana found that while the lone male juror was irrational and illogical, the jurist could not conclude the juror had been unwilling to deliberate and, therefore, eligible to be discharged for misconduct.
According to a report by the Orange County Register's Larry Welborn and Vik Jolly, the holdout juror questioned whether Morales was beaten by police investigators and whether DNA evidence found on a bloody towel in her home matched that of little Brandon Morales. (Even experts agreed there's an infinitesimal chance it's someone else's blood.)
UPDATE, JAN. 28, 1:36 P.M.: Alberto Solis Guzman, 30,
was sentenced today to 25 years to life in prison for assaulting,
battering, endangering and causing the death of his girlfriend's
4-year-old son.
The mother of Brandon Morales–who died May 30, 2008–still faces trial later this year for her role in her boy's death.
Guzman reportedly showed no emotion when Superior Court Judge W. Michael Hayes handed down his sentence.
ORIGINAL POST, NOV. 23, 2010, 1:12 P.M.: Alberto Solis Guzman has been convicted of assaulting his
girlfriend's 4-year-old son with great bodily injury to the child's head
resulting in his death. The boy's mother faces not only that charge but a murder rap and other felony counts at her trial.
Like Guzman, Gabriela Mariana
Morales, 28, of Santa Ana, could receive up to 34 years to life in state prison with a conviction.
Morales' son Brandon lived a nightmarish short life. His 9-year-old brother testified during Guzman's trial that Guman repeatedly hit the younger child with his hands and a belt, and that the couple forced Brandon to sleep on the floor, refused to
feed him and made him stand in a corner with his hands above
his head for extended periods.
Guzman's conviction was based largely on evidence that showed he repeatedly hit and punched the 4-year-old April 30, 2008. A month to the day later, Morales allegedly caused her pride and joy to fall unconscious after several blows to his head, according to prosecutors.
However, she aited several hours before calling 911, authorities allege.
Paramedics took Brandon to Children's Hospital of Orange County in Orange, where he was pronounced dead from blunt-force trauma to the head.
At the time of his arrest, police say, Guzman admitted to having hit Brandon before but claimed that it was never very hard and that Morales murdered her baby.

"How Many Are The Days" a song written by Scott, and released on our first album, has been selected by the "Association of Artists For A Better World" anthology. Poor Angus is thrilled to be a part of this important project. Scott's song brings attention to the plight of the world's oceans through over-fishing and the industrialization of the fishing industry. The anthology is being submitted for JUNO consideration, and will showcase our commitment to strong original songwriting as well as our ability to interpret traditional Scottish, Irish and east coast music.

We were thrilled to be asked to play the Alexander Keith's Birthday Party at the Rose and Crown in Toronto. Little did we know, this was no ordinary pub party. This party was in fact a massive pub crawl involving hundreds of people moving between five pubs in buses.

 Everyone started off at the Rose and Crown where we opened up the evening with a quick set, and then it was into the buses to visit other pubs around Toronto who were also celebrating Keith's Birthday. Every hour, a new group of revelers came through the door ready to celebrate.

 Around 11pm, all of the buses came back to the Rose and Crown, and the slightly inebriated guests were ready to hit the dance floor. We played until the wee hours, enjoying Keiths, a giant birthday cake, and wonderful food provided by the great people at the Rose and Crown. The night got progressively crazier, and by the end the dancefloor was a gyrating mass of bodies.

 It should be mentioned we also had some fans drive up from St. Catherines who had seen us at the Rotary Ribfest there this summer, and wanted to see us again. They stayed late, which tells me they probably had a good time. Also, a happy couple who had us play at their wedding came with a group of friends; I was quite impressed with their party attitude, considering they worked early in the morning.

 All in all, a great night was had by all....we even managed to get some videos of the mayhem which will soon be posted to www.youtube.com. For photos of the night CLICK HERE! If you were at the show and took some great shots, please send them along to firstname.lastname@example.com so we can add them to the gallery.

 Next up for us is Scotchtoberfest this Saturday Oct. 10th. The show will feature a us along with Liam McGlashon, the Glengarry Bhoys,the Hamilton Police Pipe Band and the Schiehallion Dancers. Hope to see you there!

 Reviewer Susan Chapman writes "whether it was the warm weather, the flowing suds in glasses, or the toe-tapping music of these excellent performers, the fans were more than ready to sing along and raise a glass of good cheer!…They are entertaining on stage; and in person…true down-home types." Poor Angus tag:poorangus.com,2005:Post/50219 2009-09-18T06:07:39-04:00 2009-09-18T06:07:39-04:00 Slackers Jig selected for Waterfire "WaterFire's one hundred sparkling bonfires, the fragrant scent of aromatic wood smoke, the flickering firelight on the arched bridges, the silhouettes of the firetenders passing by the flames, the torch-lit vessels traveling down the river, and the enchanting music from around the world engage all the senses and emotions of those who stroll the paths of Waterplace Park."

 This Providence, Rhode Island event has selected Slackers' Jig by fiddler Andrew Bryan, to be part of the official soundtrack of this amazing event. CLICK HERE to head to i-tunes and listen to this song, and the rest of this award winning album. Not on i-tunes? Head to the store. Poor Angus

Converting an existing project to an EclipseME project
by, 11-03-2011 at 07:32 PM (1735 Views)
Eclipse provides Convert to J2ME Midlet Suite from the project pop-up menu to convert an existing Java project to EclipseME project. Let me show how to do that.
When you select Convert to J2ME Midlet Suite, you will be prompted for the appropriate device definition by the EclipseME plug-in. This plugin will then make the required changes to your project.
When you convert a J2SE project to an EclipseME project, the J2SE libraries have to to be removed from the build path since they are not supported by J2ME. On identification, EclipseME will remove them automatically. Sometimes EclipseME fails to remove the J2SE libraries, you will then need to do this yourself.
EclipseME is intelligent enough to add the appropriate J2ME libraries to your project automatically. The depends on selected device definition. If you were using Eclipse to do J2ME programming prior to converting your project to use EclipseME, your project may still have the J2ME libraries in the build path. If so, you need to remove them.

Day 89
Travelled out from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi, to visit the JEATH museum and travel on the railway line
made famous in 'Bridge on the River Kwai'. After lunch at Nam Tok, we went to the Hellfire Pass cutting & museum
then onto a longtail boat
to stay the night on a floating rafthouse.
There's an interestingly random approach to the spelling of signs in English here; any chunk of text with more than a few words is almost certain to have a spelling mistake. My guess would be that the Thai script is somewhat ideographic, and so spelling isn't really a concept that has much relevance here. [Edit: checking in a book or two, it looks like Thai script is vaguely syllabic.]

Response to
Intralipids timeline
if you search the board by date for intralipids, you can find some posts. Kenny isn't around much currently, but she did intralipids & I could swear she has posted on the timing. I did IVIG & it's been a while so I can't swear the timing is the same, but I know Kenny has commented on it.
Try to find it. If you can't, let me know & I will (or I will shamelessly beg Kenny to surface).
