Eligible for draft:
Trade with Tampa Bay, 2011
215 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2004-05: Ty Wishart played in 58 games as a rookie in the WHL with Prince George. He scored 1 goal with 7 assists and was -14 with 41 PIM.
2005-06: Wishart assumed a full-time role with Prince George in his second season. He played in all situations for the Cougars and was usually on the ice against many of the B.C. Division's top forwards. Wishart scored 5 goals with 32 assists and was +12 with 68 PIM wile collecting 68 penalty minutes. He was scoreless and -3 with 4 PIM in five playoff games for the Cougars, who made the playoffs for the first time since the 2001-2002 season. Wishart played for Canada in the WJC U-18 tournament in Sweden and was scoreless with 14 PIM in seven games. Wishart also played in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects game. He was selected by the San Jose Sharks in the first round (16th overall) of the NHL draft.
2006-07: Wishart had some injury troubles early on, resulting in a rocky start to the season for Prince George but he and the Cougars turned things around, qualifying for the playoffs and making a surprising run to the WHL Western conference finals. Wishart scored 11 goals with 38 assists and was +15 with 59 PIM in 62 games. He had six power play goals for the Cougars. In the playoffs, Wishart scored 3 goals with 8 assists and was +5 with 6 PIM in 15 games.
2007-08: Wishart returned to Prince George after attending Sharks' camp and was then traded to Moose Jaw in a multi-player deal in January. Wishart scored 12 goals (ten on the power play) with 28 assists and was -4 with 34 PIM in 40 games for the struggling Cougars before the trade. He finished the season with 16 goals and 51 assists and was +7 with 52 PIM in 72 games between the two clubs and was named to the Western Conference Second All-Star Team. In six playoff games with Moose Jaw, he scored 1 goal with 3 assists with an even plus/minus and 2 PIM. Wishart made his pro debut following the season with San Jose's AHL affiliate. He was scoreless in five games and +1 for Worcester. Wishart was acquired by the Lightning in a July trade with San Jose along with Matt Carle and draft picks for Dan Boyle and Brad Lukowich.
2008-09: Wishart spent the majority of his first season in the Tampa Bay organization with Norfolk in the AHL before making his NHL debut with the Lightning. In a pair of mid-season callups with the Lightning, Wishart appeared in five games and had 1 assist with an even plus/minus. He saw limited ice time in his first four games before playing nearly 16 minutes in a February game with Carolina. With Norfolk, he scored 1 goal with 6 assists and was +5 with 25 PIM in 61 games for the Admirals.
2009-10: Wishart's second season with the Lightning organization was one of development – as he spent the entire season in a full-time role with Norfolk. With increased ice time, Wishart displayed many of the traits he had in juniors – including the power play presence that was a big part of his offensive game. He scored 9 goals (five on the power play) with 23 assists and had 44 PIM. While his plus/minus was a team worst -18, at least a portion of that could be attributed to his logging a lot of minutes on a team that struggled and did not make the playoffs.
2010-11: Wishart saw the most extensive NHL action of his career; appearing in 20 games with the Islanders after being acquired from Tampa Bay in exchange for veteran goaltender Dwayne Roloson in a January 2011 trade. Wishart scored 1 goal, a power play goal, with 4 assists and was +5 with 10 PMs after being recalled from AHL Bridgeport. Wishart opened the season with Tampa Bay AHL affiliate Norfolk and scored 4 goals with 14 assists and was +13 with 33 PMs in 31 games before the trade. In 20 games with Bridgeport he had 9 assists and was -2 with 8 PMs.
2011-12: Wishart appeared in one February game with the Islanders in his fourth pro season, seeing 17 minutes of ice time with no points or penalty minutes in a game at St. Louis. He spent the rest of the season with New York's AHL affiliate Bridgeport. In 71 games for the Sound Tigers he was minus-two with 5 goals and 14 assists and had 32 penalty minutes. He was re-signed as an unrestricted free agent to a one-year contract by the Islanders in July, 2012.
Talent Analysis
Wishart has excellent size and is very mobile given how big he is. On the other hand he does not use his body enough, but defensemen of his size are very hard to find. Towering defensemen usually take much longer to develop so there is still is hope for this former first-round draft pick.
Wishart projects at best as a fifth or sixth defensemen in the NHL.

The Redwalls
Deerfield, IL-based quartet the Redwalls formed in 2001; originally a British Invasion-inspired cover band dubbed the Pages, the group's members -- singer/guitarist Logan Baren, his bassist brother Justin, lead guitarist Andrew Langer, and drummer Jordan Kozer -- were still in high school when they played their first show at the local jazz club Pops for Champagne. The Pages soon began writing original material and earned a regular booking at the Evanston club Nevin's Live, with the venue's booking manager, Mitchell Marlow, eventually quitting his post to manage the band full-time. With the help of former Wilco drummer (and Marlow pal) Ken Coomer, the Pages' demo recording made its way to Capitol Records' A&R rep Julian Raymond, and while in the midst of working on their debut LP for the Chicago-based indie label Undertow, the band signed to Capitol in mid-2003, changing their name to the Redwalls at the label's request. (An earlier Capitol signing was also known as the Pages, but was far better known as Mr. Mister.) Undertow issued the Redwalls' debut, Universal Blues, in the fall of 2003 -- after completing sessions for the album, Kozer quit the group to attend college, with Ben Greeno signing on to play drums. Their first record for Capitol finally saw the light of day in June of 2005. Produced by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, the Vines), De Nova adds horns and a bit of major-label magic to the Redwalls' sound but retains their live-wire energy and ends up being an enjoyable blast of classic rock worship. No surprise that similarly backward-looking Oasis invited the band to join their summer of 2005 U.K. tour. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Gunmen storm airport in Pakistan
KARACHI, Pakistan - Gunmen disguised as police guards attacked a terminal at Pakistan's busiest airport Sunday night with machine guns and a rocket launcher, killing at least 13 people as explosions echoed into the night, officials said.
Meanwhile, suicide bombers in southwestern Pakistan killed 23 Shiite pilgrims returning from Iran in a separate incident, underscoring how fragile security is Pakistan.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack on the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, named after the founder of Pakistan, nor the suicide bombing in Baluchistan province. However, the attacks come as government-led peace talks with the local Taliban faction and other militants have floundered in recent weeks.
The airport attack raged for roughly five hours Monday morning in Karachi, a sprawling port city on Pakistan's southern coast, although officials said all the passengers had been evacuated. Heavy gunfire and multiple explosions could be heard coming from the terminal, used for VIP flights and cargo. A major fire rose from the airport, illuminating the night sky in an orange glow as the silhouettes of jets could be seen.
The deadly operation was carried out by 10 militants, said the Chief Minister of Sindh province, Qaim Ali Shah.
"They were well trained. Their plan was very well thought out," he told reporters. He said they intended to destroy some of the aircraft and buildings but were not able to.
The spokesman for the Pakistani military said on Twitter that no aircraft were damaged and that as a precautionary measure, security forces were sweeping the airport before operations would be returned to the Civil Aviation Authority and airport police.

Foreseeing the rapid penetration and growth of the domestic laptop market, HCL Infosystems Ltd India's premier information enabling and leading ICT System Integration company today launched the HCL "Leaptop Series 39" in Dehradun today. Designed for Indian conditions, where the ambient temperatures are higher and the surface temperature of laptops tend to become uncomfortable, the HCL Leaptop Series 39 is designed to achieve a lower temperature differential of below 6 degrees on its palm rest surfaces.
Developed under its "Design for India" program, HCL brings three decades of experience in designing computing products for India, into the design of its Leaptop range of products. With excellent thermals and meeting the Energy star 4.0 compliance standard, the product starts at a price range of Rs. 39990/-. The HCL Leaptop Series 39 is based on Intel's Centrino & Centrino2 Processor technology and comes in both Microsoft and Linux versions.

He further added, "With the trend of computing devices moving towards notebooks we realized that there is a need for notebooks that are designed to meet the varied requirements and mode of usage of the Indian market. Among the various factors, one of the key parameters in the Indian context is the thermals and the temperature difference between the left and right palm rest surfaces of your notebook.
With re-engineering of the key components of a computing device into the much smaller form factor of today's modern day notebooks, leads to concentration of heat generation. Therefore, at our HCL Labs and the HCL product engineering centre we are focused at designing a product with lower temperature difference across the surface of the laptop. Today it gives us immense pleasure to announce the launch of the Leaptop 39 series that have thermals that are within 6 deg Centigrade and can proudly attribute it as a product that is Distinctly Indian."
The HCL Leaptop 39 series comes with a 14.1 inch wide screen and is powered by Intel's Centrino & Centrino2 processor technology and has a battery backup of more than 4 hours. Compliant to the Energy Star 4.0 Category A certification, the HCL Leaptop Series 39 consumes less than 1.7W of energy in sleep mode and below 1W in stand-by mode and is optimized to reduce its power consumption.
Further these products are tested for special Indian conditions and undergo rigorous tests such as the HCL five feet drop test & the multiple environment stress tests, which test these laptops under extensive heat, humidity and voltage stress conditions. We are also proud to state that the complete range of HCL Leaptops including the Series 39 is fully RoHS compliant.
The HCL Leaptop series 39 is available in both Windows and Linux OS flavours and has IMR Imprint design finish adding glamour to its beauty.

LM Vertical Mill integrates crushing, drying, grinding, classifying and conveying together, and it is specialized in processing non-metallic minerals, pulverized coal and slag. Its coverage area is reduced by 50% compared with ball mill, and the energy consumption is saved by 30%-40% similarly.
Cement, coal, power plant desulfurization, metallurgy, chemical industry, non-metallic mineral, cons
LM series vertical mill is one advanced mill, adopting top technology domestic and abroad, and based on many years' mill experiences. It can crush, dry, grind, and classify the materials. LM series vertical milling machine can be widely used in such industries as cement, power, metallurgy, chemical industry, non-metallic mineral. It is used to grind granular and powdered materials into powder with required fineness.
1. Low Investment Cost. This mill itself can crush, dry, grinding, classifying, so the system is simple, and occupation area is about 50% of ball mill system. In addition, it can be installed outside, so it will reduce a large number of investment costs.
2. Low Operation Cost. ⑴ High efficiency: roller compacted materials directly onto the grinding disc, so power consumption is low. Compared with ball mill, it saves energy consumption by 30% ~ 40%. ⑵ Less wear and tear: As the roller is not in direct contact with the disc, and material of the roller and liner is high quality, so life lime is long.
3. High Drying Ability. As the hot air inside contacts directly with the material, drying ability is higher, and it saves energy. By regulating the air temperature, it can meet requirements with different humidity.
4. Simple and reliable operation. ⑴ It is equipped with automatic control systems, so remote control makes it easy to operate. ⑵ It is equipped with one device,which prevents the roller from contacting with the liner directly, and avoids the destructive impact and severe vibration.
5. The stability of product quality. As the material stays in the mill for a short time, it is easy to detect and control the product particle size and chemical composition, to reduce duplication of milling, stable product quality.
6. Maintenance convenience. By repairing fuel tank, rotating the arm, it is fast to replace the roller sleeve, and liner, and reduce the downtime loss.
7. Environmental protection. It is with small vibration, low noise, and the overall sealing. The system works under negative pressure, so there is no dust going out. It meets the requirements of the state Environmental Protection.
Vertical mill has two pairs of grinding rollers, each pair of roller composed of two narrow rollers, mounted on the same axis and can rotate at different speeds. There are two circular disc slot, and roller to the tire shape, work pressure in the tank. Disc roller and the relative sliding velocity between small and roller can swing, even if the roller sleeve and the disc after the liner wear can guarantee a good abrasive, will not affect the grinding effect. Roller symmetrical structure, one side can be upside down after use and wear. Material grinding process: hydraulic pneumatic roller device through the pressure applied to the material on the crushing of materials, the materials have been moved to crush the edge of disc, from the disc around the nozzle from the exhaust air to improve these materials to Separator.Meal to separate returns after a concentrated mill, fine powder was collected in the precipitator unloading. In the gas flow is small, the meal can not be increased to enhance air flow, they would fall through the nozzle discharged outside the mill, bucket elevator to be transported to the feeder of vertical mill and was re-grinding mill feed people.

King Thráin II, Thorin, Náin, various generals and/or kings or lords of the other houses
Azog and likely other Orc-chieftains
The War of the Dwarves and Orcs was a great war fought between the two races.
[edit] History
[edit] Prelude
In T.A. 2770 Erebor was sacked by the Dragon Smaug.[1]. Many of the Dwarves of Durin's Folk were rendered homeless and wandered through western Middle-earth, trying to make as best a living they could. After some years of wandering they settled down in Dunland.[2] Among these Dwarves were Thrór, formerly the King under the Mountain now King of Durin's folk in exile, his son Thráin II and grandson Thorin II who became later known as Thorin Oakenshield.[3]
Thrór fell into despair after living many years in poverty, or perhaps the Ring he wore was ultimately working evil upon its bearer.[2] Whatever the case, he decided to leave his people in 2790[1] to seek out and look upon the ancestral halls of Khazad-dûm. Accompanied by his friend Nár, they crossed the Redhorn Pass and came down to the East-gate of Moria where Thrór took it upon himself to enter alone, despite the warnings of Nár who stayed behind in the dale.
Thrór was caught and slain by Azog the Orc-chieftain who had ruled in Moria, and after a few days Thrór's head was branded with Azog's name and the corpse was thrown out of the gate where it was found by Nár. He was left alive to serve as a messenger to the Dwarves that Azog now claimed to be the King of Moria, and to stay away.
When Nár returned to the king's son Thráin, he told him of his father's murder and the Orc's warning. For seven days without eating or sleeping the new king sat, until he stood and cried "This cannot be borne!"[2]
From 2790 to 2793[1] the Longbeards responded to this tragedy by gathering an army, and calling on all the other six Houses of the Dwarves for war.
[edit] Early Stages
In 2793 the Dwarven host was ready, and departed for war; assailing and sacking all the Orc-holds they could find from Mount Gundabad in the north, to the Gladden in the south one by one.
Little is actually known about the six year-long war, however it is known that most of it was fought underground, in the great mines and tunnels of the Misty Mountains, where Dwarves excelled in combat.[2]
[edit] The Final Battle
The war came to a climax in 2799[1] when the final battle was fought in the Dimrill Dale below the East-gate of Moria, the Battle of Azanûlbizar. The Dwarves gained victory in this notoriously bloody encounter when reinforcements arrived late on the scene from the Iron Hills. Azog was slain by Dáin Ironfoot.
In its aftermath, King Thráin wanted to enter reclaim the city, but the Dwarves not of Durin's folk refused, saying that the city was not their Fathers' House; they had honored Thrór's memory by fighting and that was enough. Dáin Ironfoot also warned the king that Durin's Bane still dwelt within Khazad-dûm.[2]
[edit] Aftermath
The war was very costly for the Dwarves: Nearly half of those involved in the final battle were killed and with a possibility of a couple thousand more being killed throughout the rest of the war. Náin, Frerin, and Fundin were among the more notable casualties. Thráin II himself lost an eye and gained a limp, and Thorin was wounded when his shield broke and he had to use an oak branch to defend himself-hence the epithet "Oakenshield".[2]
The Orcs suffered irreparable damage to their numbers by war's end. Ten thousand alone were killed in the Dimrill Dale, and it seem highly likely that at least that many were killed throughout the previous six years of the war. Those that survived the final battle (as many as 10,000 or so) fled south through Rohan, seeking refuge in the White Mountains beyond, where they troubled the Rohirrim for two generations.[4] In T.A. 2851[1] King Walda was slain with all his companions by Orcs near Dunharrow. His son Folca hunted down and eliminated the last Orc-hold in the White Mountains.[5]
As a result of such losses, the Orcs of the Misty Mountains virtually disappeared as a threat to Eriador and Wilderland. One and a half centuries later the Orcs of the North were recovering, but their numbers were permanently depleted to severely low levels in the aftermath of the Battle of Five Armies in 2941.[1] It was here that Bolg son of Azog tried to avenge his father and the Great Goblin, but in his failure three fourths of his people were killed.[6]
The repercussions of the War of the Dwarves and Orcs likely even had an impact on the very outcome of the War of the Ring.

- Thorin - Wounded
- Frerin - Killed
- Fundin - Killed
- Náin - Killed

Dabs and gems are great increases without making a lot of a sprinkle. These come in glass, gem, precious stones, and other material also and can be included diverse territories around the hair to give a rich look. Barrettes will likewise contain globules or gems, some of the time in lovely course of action like flower designs. These adornments for the most part come in sets and are the least expensive things accessible.
For you fortunate young ladies going to get hitched, this is presumably the greatest party like occasion that you will ever visit and one of the greatest snapshots of your life. In view of this we as a whole need our weddings to be significant and to accomplish that, everything must be immaculate, including the wedding hairdo that you have chosen. With such a significant number of individuals going to the wedding putting their best self forward, it is fundamental for the lady to look similarly as brilliant if not more than her visitors.

truTV's Hit Series "Lizard Lick Towing" Returns with 2.7 million Viewers
truTV's hit series Lizard Lick Towing returned last night with an outstanding 2.7 million viewers, along with 1.5 million adults 18-49, the show's biggest demo delivery ever. Lizard Lick Towing also ranked among basic cable's Top 5 programs in the 10 p.m. half hour with total viewers, adults 18-34, adults 18-49, men 18-34 and men 18-49.
One of truTV's most popular shows, Lizard Lick Towing follows the towing and repo company owners Ron and Amy Shirley as they repossess vehicles and machinery on behalf of lien holders - a difficult and often unpleasant task, to say the least. Ron is the hulking, tattooed owner of Lizard Lick Towing & Recovery. He and his best friend Bobby must go about the difficult task of tracking down and repossessing property, often coming face-to-face with irate owners. His wife Amy, a former champion power lifter, works the main office, where the owners often bring heated demands that property be returned. This season on Lizard Lick Towing, Ron and Amy's business is threatened by a rival tow operation.
"Lizard Lick Towing has really captured the attention of truTV's fans with its wild and outrageous adventures, as well as its memorable nuggets of Ron's homespun wisdom," said Marc Juris, executive vice president and chief operating officer of truTV.
Lizard Lick Towing comes to truTV from Zodiak USA, producers of the hit truTV series Hardcore Pawn and All Worked Up. Mike Gamson and Jo Inglott serve as the executive producers for Zodiak USA. For truTV, Anthony Horn serves as executive in charge of production and Jon Crowley serves as executive producer.

The Wii's run may be over, but it's going out in style.
A few days ago was the 25th anniversary of Mike Tyson's historic victory to become the youngest heavyweight champion in history. An incredible achievement, to be sure, but if you grew up in the '90s, then you know just how far downhill it went from there. He got into trouble time after time after time until, well, he's turned into this.
"What in Nayru's holy name does Mike Tyson have to do with Zelda?" you may ask, and rightly so. Well, besides the fact that he also spent a brief stint making oodles of money for Nintendo, his downward spiral serves as a strong counterpoint to the beloved franchise.
If you hadn't heard, this year is also The Legend of Zelda's 25th anniversary as well. Nintendo's been spending a lot of time hyping that monumental occasion up, but honestly, if all they did this year was release Skyward Sword, it would be more than a satisfying gesture to Zelda fans. Unlike Iron Mike, time has been gracious and kind to Link (even though Link has been known to screw with it once in a while).
25 years after a stout, silent elf-kid took a sword from some weird old guy in a cave, he now lifts it triumphantly skyward. And well he should, because Skyward Sword is the best Zelda game ever made. Ocarina of Time will of course always be a fan favorite, just as Twilight Princess is mine, but it's patently obvious that in its puzzles, design, story, scope, style—all of its merits as a video game, pure and simple—this is the finest piece of work to ever have the name Zelda stamped on it.
As I made my way through this sprawling adventure, one word kept coming to mind to describe everything that I love about Skyward Sword: balance. The formula that Ocarina of Time introduced so long ago is absolutely perfect here, and it bridges the best elements of all the 3D Zeldas while getting rid of any dead weight.
The story strikes a marvelous balance between gameplay and cinematics. As a prequel to the other titles in the series, an engaging story is key to Skyward Sword's relevance. There are more cut-scenes than we're used to seeing in a Zelda game, but they're integral to the plot and they never drag on to the point where the gameplay suffers for it. This is the most engaging Zelda story ever told, and from the moment Link meets Zelda in the Skyloft plaza before his big race, everything that unfolds feels undeniably epic. That feeling is enhanced by the many allusions to the origins of important places and objects from later games in the series.
The plot is also propped up by the supporting players a lot more this time, primarily the series' namesake herself. Link and Zelda begin as childhood friends, and instead of showing up at the beginning and end while spending the interval as a royal captive of the bad guys as usual, Zelda makes more frequent appearances and is just as important to events as our emerald-clad hero. Most of your time is, in fact, spent chasing her down while she works on her own mysterious quest, and the fleeting moments when the duo catch up with each other are touching and powerful because of the strength of their relationship.
It seems like each 3D Zelda release has been an experiment with a different art style, and Skyward Sword strikes a great balance between Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. While one was too cartoony for some and the other was too dark for others, Skyward Sword manages to merge them into something that really screams "Zelda"; it captures what, to me, A Link to the Past would be like if it were translated in 3D.
The manner of exploration is perfect—you'll be splitting your time up between the sky and surface. Above the clouds is the main town of Skyloft, where you do your shopping and most of the sidequests. Leaving Skyloft is a simple and exhilarating matter of leaping off the edge and calling for your loftwing to swoop in and pick you up as you plummet downward.
Outside of Skyloft, you guide the loftwing to fly around to smaller floating islands and places of interest, much in the same way that you sail your boat around the sea in Wind Waker. Don't groan just yet—despite how expansive it feels, the sky is much more condensed than the sea. It's big enough to feel like a grand world, but small enough that it doesn't take more than a couple minutes to fly from one end to the other, so the tedium from Wind Waker is long gone. Again—perfect balance. Flying is far more fun than sailing too, and it's a simple joy to travel between destinations while the brilliant orchestral theme punctuates each trip.
But like any true Zelda, most of the adventure is spent on solid ground. Link's quest takes him to important destinations beneath the clouds; in each region, the general idea is to explore a sub-section of the map until you uncover the next dungeon entrance. The work you do in these sub-sections can actually sometimes be much longer and more involved than the dungeons themselves.
Nintendo is, as usual, on top of their game in level design, with some of the most clever dungeons seen in the series. The puzzles are challenging (I even got stumped for a bit in the first dungeon), but never so much that a familiar Zelda player should get stuck for more than 15 minutes or so.
Of course, Skyward Sword's most touted feature is the controls, and they work great for the most part. Ironically, I didn't give much thought to the controls while I played because they're integrated so well that it becomes second nature almost immediately. Whether it's rolling a bomb with an upwards flick, lashing out with a whip, or of course swinging your sword with precise cuts, the item controls feel like natural movements.
The aiming for the ranged items is the only part that takes some getting used to, because the game actually calibrates the pointer each time you aim. It always assumes that the direction the Wii-mote is currently pointed is the "center", so you need to point at the center of the TV before using the item. Hitting down on the D-pad resets the calibration on the fly in case you didn't do that. I don't know why the game was designed this way instead of with a one-time calibration, and there's no actual tutorial explaining this design, so until you realize it you can run into some frustration with aiming.
Swordplay also has its occasional hiccups; while the one-to-one translation of the Wii-mote is usually spot-on, there are inevitably times when you make a hasty swing that goes diagonal instead of vertical, or try to thrust and get a sweeping slash instead.
But those moments don't happen very often, and they're far outweighed by just how fantastic the combat can be with the Wii MotionPlus. Earlier Zeldas required little strategy once you figured out how a certain enemy was vulnerable, but in Skyward Sword each encounter requires you to be quick and smart. Knowing how to kill an enemy isn't enough; you have to be fast and attentive to exploit their openings when they leave that window open.
To kill a Deku Baba you need to take note of which way the mouth opens and slice along that plane. An elite Stalfos defends three sides with its sword arms and leaves one open for you to strike, but it constantly shifts the sides around. Hydras have three moving heads that need to be sliced off all at the same time, so you'll need to swing in the right direction when they line up. Almost every enemy has inventive weak points like these that remain a challenge to exploit even once you've understood them.
Because of all that, combat is significantly more challenging in Skyward Sword, but also far more rewarding. I take a lot more damage in this game than I have in other Zeldas, and it's actually not uncommon to die. But I keep coming back to that one word—balance. You may die, but when you do it's fair and you gain that much more insight into how you can do better the next time. Eventually even the enemies that kept pummeling you before start falling to the wayside as you improve your swordplay and specific strategies against them.
That also extends to boss fights, thankfully. The distressingly easy bosses that plagued the last few Zeldas have given way to smart, challenging fights. I didn't die to any of them, but I came very close to it quite a few times. They're hard enough that it's a real thrill to fight them, but not so much that you're banging your head against the wall. When you come out the other side, it really feels like you accomplished something against a worthy foe.
The game is also huge. There isn't a staggering amount of terrain compared to other titles in the series, but Skyward Sword gets every last ounce of mileage out of each area. It takes a few hours just to complete each sub-section before reaching a new dungeon, followed by a few more for the dungeon itself. There's a strong 30–40 hour adventure here before even considering the multitude of sidequests you can take on.
Like any Zelda, a beautiful score blankets the breathtaking adventure. Skyward Sword has some great orchestral arrangements, with some real standouts like the flight theme I mentioned earlier. The main theme is also fantastic, and is arguably the best one since the iconic original.
I have a few tiny quality-of-life quibbles here and there: Managing the stamina meter that governs your dashing and climbing is essential to some of the puzzles, but becomes an annoyance when you have large open ground to cover; accidentally falling off Skyloft always triggers the same repetitive cut-scene where you get rescued by a guard; you have to return to the sky each time you want to "warp" to a different save point on the ground. But these things are a tiny drop of foul water in the vast ocean of greatness that is Skyward Sword.
Last week, I gave my first 'A' in two years here at GR to Super Mario 3D Land. Now I've given my second. Somehow, Nintendo is still improving on a series that keeps setting the bar after 25 years. If you're a Zelda fan—hell, an adventure fan in general—you need to play it. Even if you have to buy a Wii on Black Friday to do it.

Inside the Wonderful Restaurant Stuck in a Tiny Coffee Shop
Justin Slojkowski held the first course close to his chest with two hands. It was a plate of Local Carrots ($14). As Slojkowski explained before setting the dish down, he crafted it with a mix of roasted and puréed carrots, freekah, and skyr, a tangy Icelandic cultured milk product into which he dosed a dollop of sesame. Before he took the dish from the tiny kitchen he shares with Dave Gulino, the chef dropped a handful of wispy carrot tops onto the plate.
After 6 p.m., this sort of thing is normal at Box Kite, the closet-sized cafe Cora Lambert opened on Saint Marks in January. Funny thing, despite the focus in the kitchen—Box Kite is a cafe first and a restaurant second. To fill the dearth of neighborhood coffee shops that stay open in the evening, coffee from Madcap and Ritual roasters is served until midnight. Lambert brought Gulino on so there'd be edibles with your evening espresso.
The chefs met at Roberta's and both worked at Acme. Box Kite is different. There's no room for frills. A Synesso Hydra espresso machine, three grinders, and six bar seats take up most of the real estate. Walk-ins are welcome to the handful of knee-high stools, which are fine for a quick espresso but pose a challenge for lengthier dining. The food, though, is a fine distraction.
That includes gently roasted Cauliflower ($16) florets caught in a splash of cashew purée with lightly charred radicchio leaves and razor thin shavings of raw cauliflower. Whole cashews come along as well, but first they're braised in sugar syrup for two hours and roasted. The purée comes from pressure-cooked cashews the chefs cook in beer and buttermilk, and you can taste every nuance. Melting sheets of La Luna, a raw goat's milk cheese from Vermont, blanket everything, but 'nduja, the spicy, spreadable pork sausage of Italy, steals the show with its smoky personality.
Winnimere Gnudi ($16, think ravioli without the dough) are spiked with pickled spring onion. Winnimere, another cheese from the Green Mountain State, is a raw, washed-rind cow's milk cheese. Here it's whipped into a foam, a delicate sauce to match the delicate gnudi. There are walnuts, too, with extra crunch, because one of the chefs thought it would be a good idea to confit them in duck fat. He was right.
Mr. Gulino only used one hand to carry over a large, shallow dish containing Scallops ($22), artichokes, and cara cara navel segments. His other held a steam pot full of smoked beef broth. It's made from a mix of vegetable and meat stock which is then smoked with hickory, black chestnut, or whatever bark the chef's forager in Maine sends their way. Two dayboat scallops wearing gold citrus crowns glistened as honey-hued broth rained down over the top in a silken stream. I chuckled at the chef's whimsical approach to surf and turf, then went in for a taste and ate in wowed silence.
Box Kite serves a 10-course prix fixe for $75 in addition to the a la carte menu. Most dishes are unique to the prix fixe, but there is some crossover, like the sassafras-crusted Venison ($26), which shares the same magenta hue as the huckleberries that accompany it. But that's all those two have in common. The meat, cooked sous vide, melts in your mouth. Those huckleberries, sour and sweet, pop. So do tangy discs of kumquat scattered about the plate with heart of palm and nasturtium.
For now, the prix fixe is served to one round of guests. I suspect that will be changing very soon; if and when it does, don't assume you'll be rushed through it. "We don't want it to be too quick," Slojkowski told me. "I don't want anybody to feel rushed. I'm really tired of turn and burn restaurants. I want people to sit down and enjoy themselves," he says. "There doesn't have to be a plate of food in front of them all the time."
So much passion buzzing in a shoebox room makes for an intimate experience that actually merits the word. Smiles and personal touches are everywhere. If it weren't for spinning records, everyone would be able to hear each other's conversation. But that's okay, because for the duration of dinner, everyone is going to be talking about the same thing.

In April, we reported that Ben Kinglsey was in talks to play the villain in Shane Black's Iron Man 3, and the character would be involved in the spreading of a nanobot virus. However, it looked like the villain would not be Iron Man's (Robert Downey Jr.) vaunted arch-nemesis from the comics, The Mandarin. However, today it's being reported that The Mandarin will indeed be Tony Stark's foe in the upcoming sequel, but possibly not in the capacity that fans imagined.
Hit the jump for more, including the first photos from the set. The film also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Rebecca Hall, James Badge Dale, Ashley Hamilton, and Guy Pearce. Iron Man 3 opens May 3, 2013. [Update: We've removed the unofficial images.]
According to Latino Review, Ben Kingsley will play the Mandarin, but "he's more a veiled threat as a silent partner to Guy Pearce's [scientist] Aldrich Killian. Killian is the man inventing Extremis and putting it into his 'Extremis army' of multiple super-powered individuals." Those super-powered individuals could very well be Coldblood (Dale) and Firepower (Hamilton), who get their powers out of the Extremis project.
CBM reports, "Mandarin had a set of twins that did most of his dirty work for him. Another source who had visited EUE/Screen Gems Studios told us that the sets they were building included Chinese storefronts," but LR says that's "not exactly true." I trust Latino Review more than Comic Book Movie.
For those unfamiliar with the comics, the Mandarin draws his power from ten mystical rings. The "ten rings" have been mentioned in passing in the movies, but they've been reworked into a criminal organization. Presumably, Iron Man 3 is where the organization finally comes to the forefront. The Ten Rings were mentioned by name in the first act of Iron Man, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige says the sequel will return to that part of the story, at least metaphorically:
Metaphorically, we're not going back to the cave there's nothing like that, but we've always said let's get Tony back to the cave, which is he's stripped of everything, he's backed up against a wall, and he's gotta use his intelligence to get out of it.
While I'm sure we can expect denials out of Marvel's camp regarding The Mandarin as the movie's villain, Latino Review has earned their credibility when it comes to Marvel projects, and this story rings true.
Finally, since filming has now begun in North Carolina, the first set photos have begun to leak online. Check some of them out below, click over to Facebook for more, and expect plenty more as cameras continue to roll throughout the summer.

Oscilloscope has picked up U.S. distrib rights to "Youssou Ndour: I Bring What I Love," a doc about the Senegalese pop star that earned plaudits at the recent Telluride and Toronto film fests.
Pic follows the Muslim singer across three continents during the recording of his "Egypt" album. The disc is his first to address Islam directly, and many in Senegal consider the album blasphemous for that reason.
A mid-2009 release is planned. N'Dour (who spells his name differently than it's rendered in the title of the docu) is perhaps best known to U.S. auds for his collaborations with Peter Gabriel. He plans to tour in conjunction with the release of the film.
"Youssou sings from his heart, and hearing him combine his own music with Egyptian music is incredible," said Oscilloscope chief and Beastie Boy Adam Yauch.
Director Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi's previous pic, "A Normal Life," won the top doc prize at the 2003 Tribeca Film Festival.

Most of us try to hide cables under the carpet or along the walls or inside the walls, but this weird cable carpet displays them prominently. Designed by a German student, this rug has cable patterns cut out of it, designed for you to pass your cables through.
In our opinion this is pretty ugly, sort of like the living room version of varicose veins. Then again, in our homes you can barely see the cables thanks to all the electronics that are on the ground.

Apple Inc CEO Tim Cook on Tuesday met with the head of China Mobile Ltd, the world's largest mobile carrier by subscribers and the only Chinese carrier that doesn't offer iPhones and iPads.
The meeting with China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua in Beijing was to discuss matters of cooperation, the Chinese firm told Reuters in an emailed statement. It gave no further details.
The talks could pave the way for a long-awaited deal for China Mobile to distribute Apple products on its vast network, benefiting both companies.
Cook's meeting with China Mobile follows a 43 percent slump in Apple's April-June sales in Greater China, which includes Taiwan and Hong Kong, as the technology gap with cheaper local rivals narrows.
Any deal between China Mobile and Apple, combined with the Chinese government issuing 4G licenses later this year, could turn around both companies' fortunes with wider product distribution and faster Internet speeds attracting new smartphone adopters.
China Mobile has seen its profit pressured by a low adoption of 3G as mobile users shift away from SMS messaging to data-reliant apps such as Tencent Holdings' WeChat, which now has more than 300 million users in China.
Fewer than a fifth of China Mobile's customers have adopted 3G, lagging rivals China Unicom's 38 percent and China Telecom Corp's 50 percent, according to data from the three carriers.
Analysts say China Mobile would attract higher-end 3G users if it strikes a deal to carry Apple's iPhone even though China Mobile's homegrown 3G technology – TD-SCDMA – is inferior to that offered by China Unicom and China Telecom, which is based on international 3G standards.
Cook also met with top executives from China Telecom, another large telecom provider, when he visited Beijing earlier this week, China telecom said.
Cook had a meeting with China Telecom President Yang Jie and talked about cooperation on future products, but stopped short of giving any details of the next version of the iPhone, said a source at the company, who declined to be identified because the person was not authorized to speak to the media.
China Unicom declined comment. An Apple spokesman confirmed that Cook was in China for business meetings, noting that Greater China was Apple's second largest market. He declined to provide any details.
Greater China is an important market for Apple as it accounted for 13 percent of Apple's quarterly sales, or $5 billion, though it is down from nearly 19 percent in January-March.
Morgan Stanley estimates China's mobile Internet market could more than treble to around $30 billion by 2015, driven by a surge in demand for mobile gaming, advertising, and e-commerce.
Currently, 78.5 percent of Chinese Internet users access the Net through their mobile phones, according to data from the China Internet Network Information Centre. The total number of mobile netizens reached 464 million by the end of June, up 10 percent from the end of 2012.
Cook's visit also follows accusations in a China Labor Watch (CLW) report this week that Pegatron Corp, a Taiwanese firm that assembles iPads and iPhones in China, violates workers' rights in China.
Apple shares ended down 79 cents at $452.53 on Nasdaq on Wednesday.

Story highlights
- A PETA sting targets one of America's top horse trainers
- Covert recordings capture grueling images, apparently incriminating conversations
- The animal rights group is known for its purist approach to animal rights
- Attorney for accused trainer says "the PETA piece is sensationalism"
The Kentucky Derby resides on a summit of high-society pomp.
But with the clink of champagne glasses, the flutter of feather-bedecked sunhats and the drumming clomp of purebred hooves just weeks away, animal rights advocates may have turned over a rock, revealing an alleged equine hell beneath it.
Injured horses compete under peak demands, PETA said. It alleges they are doped against the excruciating pain of worn-out joints, hooves with holes and bleeding lungs.
Their handling and training are so grueling, prized chargers drop dead before making it to the racetrack, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said.
The group targeted one of America's top horse trainers, Steve Asmussen, and his main assistant, Scott Blasi, in a monthslong undercover operation that included video recorded clandestinely.
Though the sting singled out the two men, the group said what it found is "standard practice" in the horse racing industry, where "death and injuries are business as usual."
But an attorney representing Asmussen and Blasi said "the PETA piece is sensationalism."
Ugly video
PETA backs its allegations with a lengthy report and hidden camera video that the activists posted to YouTube on Wednesday.
The images of alleged doping are grueling. They are matched by what appears to be incriminating conversations -- laden with profanity -- with workers who appear disgusted by the suffering of the animals.
The videos are edited.
Racehorses receive so much medication that they are often called "chemical horses," PETA said.
Horses in Asmussen's care received a thyroid drug to "speed up metabolism," muscle relaxants, sedatives and the diuretic Lasix to prevent lung bleeds during overexertion, the group alleges.
It did not say whether the treatments were legal or customary. But the group said one of Asmussen's primary veterinarians at New York's Saratoga Race Course said "basically all" horses trained by Asmussen are given Lasix.
PETA has a reputation for a sometimes puritanical approach to animal rights and protection, and it advocates a vegan lifestyle. The group said it has filed 10 complaints against Asmussen and others working with him in Kentucky and New York.
Authorities in those two states are taking the allegations seriously.
The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission and the New York State Gaming Commission have opened investigations based on the undercover operation.
"The behavior depicted in the undercover video and supporting materials is disturbing and disgusting," said veterinarian Scott Palmer of the Gaming Commission.
Reserving comment
Clark Brewster, the attorney representing Asmussen and Blasi, said PETA's effort "has little to do with true accusation of wrongdoing and everything to do with condemning the horse racing industry as a whole."
"PETA seems to suggest in some of the videos that somehow the horses were mistreated," Brewster said. "But if you watch the video where claims of anything improper occurred, it was in front of some of the finest equine vets in the industry. It's impossible to blame the trainers."
The attorney also said the group edited the piece "to show the most sensational parts."
PETA also accused Asmussen of paying less than minimum wage and hiring undocumented workers.
Everything that the trainer did is standard practice in the sport and done under veterinarians' guidance, said Brewster.
The recordings and allegations tarnish the shine of two of the country's top horse racetracks.
PETA said its activist obtained access to Asmussen by going to work for him, and made the recordings from April to August 2013 at the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky -- the home of the Derby -- and at New York's Saratoga Race Course.
The National Thoroughbred Racing Association -- which describes itself as a broad-based coalition of horse racing interests -- notes there aren't yet uniform rules in the sport to regulate the administering of medication, or enforcement of existing rules and laboratory testing, though there is a movement to make such blanket rules.
As to Lasix, for example, a report by a Lexington, Kentucky, lab director Richard Sams pointed out several racing commissions had once banned it only to reverse that position in the mid-1990s. The NTRA said there has been "significant progress" toward a program that has been or is set to be adopted in 14 states -- including Kentucky and New York -- approving regulated administration of Lasix by third-party veterinarians or technicians.
The New York Racing Association, which conducts racing at the Saratoga Race Course, said it was concerned about the allegations brought to the Gaming Commission.
"The New York Racing Association takes the health and well-being of its equine athletes very seriously," the group said. "We pledge to continue to work in partnership with the Gaming Commission and all industry stakeholders to promote the safety, integrity and transparency of our racing."
Churchill Downs issued a statement expressing concerns about the health of horses.
"This has always been a topic of great importance to us, and we've made long-term and far-reaching commitments to incorporate health and wellness measures for every race, every day," it said.
The racetrack describes the Kentucky Derby as "the greatest two minutes in sports."

So which is it for you and why?
I really like spring because the air seems to be the most fresh and the plant buds and signs of new life pop up everywhere, offering new and promising beginnings. Winter is too cold and summer is too hot where I am. Fall would be nice, except that's around when school starts.

Domestic work was, until 1940, the largest category of women's paid labor. Despite the number of women who performed domestic labor for pay, the wages and working conditions were often poor. Workers labored long hours for low pay and were largely left out of state labor regulations. The association of domestic work with women's traditional household labor, defined as a "labor of love" rather than as real work, and its centrality to southern slavery, have contributed to its low status. As a result, domestic work has long been structured by class, racial, and gendered hierarchies. Nevertheless, domestic workers have time and again done their best to resist these conditions. Although traditional collective bargaining techniques did not always translate to the domestic labor market, workers found various collective and individual methods to insist on higher wages and demand occupational respect, ranging from quitting to "pan-toting" to forming unions.
Keywords: domestic service, working class, labor market, labor legislation, African American, women's liberation, social justice, household, social reproduction, labor organizing, race relations

Stevens guilty on 7 counts, won't quit Senate race
Ted Stevens, a pillar of the Senate for 40 years and the face of Alaska politics almost since statehood, was convicted of a seven-felony string of corruption charges Monday - found guilty of accepting a bonanza of home renovations and fancy trimmings from an oil executive and then lying about it.
Unbowed, even defiant, Stevens accused prosecutors of blatant misconduct and said, "I will fight this unjust verdict with every ounce of energy I have."
The senator, 84 and already facing a challenging re-election contest next Tuesday, said he would stay in the race against Democrat Mark Begich. Though the convictions are a significant blow for the Senate's longest-serving Republican, they do not disqualify him, and Stevens is still hugely popular in his home state.
The jury - itself a daily drama, trying to expel one of its own members - convicted Stevens of all the felony charges he faced, accusations based heavily on the testimony of a wealthy oil contractor who for years had been a fishing and drinking buddy.
Visibly shaken after the verdicts were read - the jury foreman declaring "guilty" seven times - Stevens tried to intertwine his fingers but quickly put his hands down to his side after noticing they were trembling. As he left the courtroom, he got a quick kiss on the cheek from his wife, Catherine, who testified on his behalf during the trial.
Stevens faces up to five years in prison on each count when he is sentenced, but under federal guidelines he is likely to receive much less time, if any. The judge did not immediately set a sentencing date.
The monthlong trial revealed that employees for VECO Corp., an oil services company, transformed Stevens' modest Alaska mountain cabin into a modern, two-story home with wraparound porches, a sauna and a wine cellar.
Stevens said he had no idea he was getting freebies. He said his wife handled the business of the renovation. He said he paid $160,000 for the project and believed that covered everything.
As his attorneys had during the trial, Stevens said in a statement issued afterward that prosecutors had improperly held back favorable evidence, had sent a crucial witness back to Alaska and "allowed evidence to be introduced that they knew was false."
"I am innocent," he declared. "I ask that Alaskans and my Senate colleagues stand with me as I pursue my rights." Addressing the folks back home, he added, "I will come home Wednesday and ask for your vote."
He had asked for an unusually speedy trial, hoping he'd be exonerated in time to win re-election. Despite being a convicted felon, he is not required to drop out of the race or resign from the Senate. If he wins re-election, he can continue to hold his seat because there is no rule barring felons from serving in Congress. The Senate could vote to expel him on a two-thirds vote.
"Put this down: That will never happen - ever, OK?" Stevens said in the weeks leading up to his trial. "I am not stepping down. I'm going to run through, and I'm going to win this election."
Taking nothing for granted, Begich said merely, "This past year has been a difficult time for Alaskans, but our people are strong and resilient and I believe that we will be able to move forward together to address the critical challenges that face Alaska."
Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, said, "The verdict shines a light on the corrupting influence of the big oil service company that was allowed to control too much of our state. It was part of the culture of corruption I was elected to fight. And that fight must always move forward regardless of party or seniority or even past service."
"I'm confident Senator Stevens will do what's right for the people of Alaska."
Carl Shepro, a professor of political science at the University of Alaska in Anchorage, said, "It's very possible that he's going to win the election."
Many Alaskans believe Stevens is being unjustly attacked, and that the charges against him don't amount to real corruption, Shepro said.
Democrats, hoping to pick up a long-sought Republican seat, have invested heavily in the race, running television advertisements starring fictional FBI agents and featuring excerpts from wiretaps introduced at the trial.
Stevens' conviction hinged on the testimony of Bill Allen, the senator's longtime friend and the founder of VECO. He testified he never billed Stevens for the work on the house and the senator knew he was getting a special deal.
Stevens spent three days on the witness stand, vehemently denying that allegation. He said his wife paid every bill they received.
Living in Washington, thousands of miles away, made it impossible to monitor the project every day, he said. Stevens relied on Allen to oversee the renovations, he said, and his friend deceived him by not forwarding all the bills.
Prosecutors used a barrage of witnesses to question how Stevens could have been in the dark about VECO's work on the project. VECO employees testified to seeing Stevens at the house. One left him a company business card. Stevens sent thank you notes to others.
Stevens' conviction is the highlight of a lengthy FBI investigation into Alaska corruption, but prosecutors noted that it is not the end. Stevens' longtime Republican colleague, Rep. Don Young, remains under investigation for his ties to VECO. Stevens' son, Ben, a former Alaska lawmaker, is also under investigation.
Stevens is a legendary figure in Alaska, where he has wielded political influence since before statehood. His knack for steering billions of dollars in federal money to his home state has drawn praise from his constituents but consternation from others.
Stevens is the fifth senator convicted of criminal charges. The last previous one was Republican David Durenberger of Minnesota, who was indicted in 1993 on charges of conspiring to make fraudulent claims for Senate reimbursement of $3,825 in lodging expenses. He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and was sentenced to one year of probation and a $1,000 fine.
The jury left the court without comment.
Said U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan: "The jurors have unanimously told me that no one has any desire to speak to any member of the media. They have asked to go home and they are en route home."
They had been a story all by themselves after deliberations began last Wednesday.
They complained of stress and violent outbursts in the jury room. They tried to expel one of their members. They asked to go home early. Then one of them said her father had died, and she was allowed to go home to California. Then she couldn't be reached.
The judge put an alternate on the jury on Monday, and within hours there was a verdict.

There is still plenty to do, but the pressure is off. My teacher hat has been set aside, and though I am already planning and preparing for next school year, it's in an state of calm that I work.
It feels good to wake up in the morning having forgot what day it is, and to spend a little more time walking/talking with friends, or planning meals, or having impromptu coffee dates. Summer is delicious and the gift of time feels luxurious. I love the margins... spacious, golden, sweet.
I spent the afternoon at my friend's farm a few weeks ago. There is always something happening at the farm (and I'm anxious to practice with my new camera lens.) The day I went some of the chicks were hatching. I'd never seen a chick hatch out the egg, all squished and matted, only to puff up into little balls of yellow and brown within 30 minutes of the egg. Amazing.
My garden is growing well. This year I added a little herb box to the other raised beds. Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, Sage and Lavender. I bought so many herbs that I had a few left over to plant on my deck as well. I hope to be pulling fresh herb from the garden all year long. For now, they are little plantlings... green and new.
Grace and I volunteered at VBS last week. I had the privilege to work on the snack team, and Grace was a special buddy to a little girl named Charlotte. Charlotte is darling, and over the last year she and Grace have become great friends.
I haven't yet had time to really work in the studio, but I did get it cleaned up after a busy semester of art classes. Once I had it tidied I sat in my comfy chair and crocheted a little baby blanket. I used the pattern posted over at Little Monkeys Crochet. This is the second one I've made. The pattern is really easy and the blankets comes out so nice. I'm not sure yet who the blanket is for, but when the mood strikes to make a baby blanket one just proceeds with abandon... especially in the summer.

I do not understand the discipline in mathematics that is called "mathematical logic". For me, all of mathematics is based on logic and that is what makes it the exact science. Every theorem or lemma or result should be based on correct reasoning, and there should be some true logic behind it. Or am I mistaken?
Are there some results that cannot be treated with logic? What is the difference between the discipline of "mathematical logic" and the logic used in mathematics? Are there known results in mathematics that are not based on logic?
For example:
Find $x$ in $(1)$: $$(1)\quad x+1=0.$$ The logic is to find $x=-1$ by subtracting $-1$ and no one else can say otherwise.
For me, this is mathematics. Even though a lot of theorems are hard to understand (at least for me), there must be some kind of logic behind them. Am I right?
