I usually try to avoid spoilers but it is impossible for me to review Link's Awakening without talking about the ending. It was my first Zelda game and one of my first Nintendo games and was instrumental in my becoming a lifelong Nintendo fan. To this day I consider it one of my five favourite games of all time and, with the possible exception of Ocarina of Time 3D, it is the best game I have ever reviewed for this blog and so much of what makes it a classic is in the ending.

The Avenue Collierville – the largest lifestyle center in the Memphis metropolitan area at Houston Levee Road and Bill Morris Parkway – has been bought by an affiliate of Memphis-based Poag Lifestyle Centers.
The Avenue Collierville will once again be named Carriage Crossing once the new Memphis and New York buyers take over.

Poag partnered with an affiliate of DRA Advisors, a New York-based registered investment adviser, on the purchase, which closed Tuesday, May 8. Terms were not disclosed.
Formerly known as The Avenue at Carriage Crossing, the 60-acre center opened in 2005, bringing the open-air shopping and dining concept to Collierville. The Avenue was developed by Atlanta-based Cousins Properties Inc. and Montgomery, Ala.-based Jim Wilson & Associates LLC. The joint venture retained ownership of the center, while Cousins managed and leased the property.
Josh Poag, president and CEO of Poag Lifestyle Centers, said immediate plans for the property are to change the center's name back to Carriage Crossing, because "people usually know it as Carriage Crossing."
The 712,000-square-foot-shopping center at 4674 Merchants Park Circle continually ranks year after year as one of the 10 most valuable properties from the Shelby County Assessor of Property.
"The reality is that Carriage Crossing is doing well, it's laid out well and it's a high-quality project," Poag said. "Our goal is first and foremost to maintain the integrity and the quality of the center. Then, we'll start putting our stamp on the center by bringing in new unique tenants to the market by doing additional marketing to strengthen its position within the marketplace. Whether it's through advertising or through events, we want to really build on what Cousins has established as a strong basis for Carriage Crossing."
Formerly Poag & McEwen, Poag Lifestyle Centers is the original developer of The Shops of Saddle Creek in Germantown in 1987. Poag's traditional business has been ground-up development of lifestyle centers, but over the last 18 months, the firm has been chasing the acquisition of lifestyle centers across the country as a new business thread.
"Our business has diversified without the financing ability to get ground-up developments done in this environment," Poag said, citing the company's Highland Row project near the University of Memphis as a perfect example of one that has screeched to a halt over the last few years. "When this one popped up in our backyard, it was the perfect match for us."
The Avenue Collierville is anchored by Macy's, Dillard's, Bed Bath & Beyond and Barnes & Noble, and has become a centralized gathering place for the Collierville community - offering events such as regular concerts, an outdoor family movie series and charitable fundraisers.
The pedestrian-friendly shopping destination features national retailers, select local merchants and specialty restaurants.
Poag said the center is well-positioned moving forward because of "the continued growth of the Collierville area, the major developments going on in Piperton and the soon-to-be-completed Highway 385 loop, which will connect this area to I-40 within the next two years."
In February at the Memphis Area Association of Realtors Commercial Property Forecast Summit, Poag explained that local retail was continuing to lag, citing last year's sales volume within the sector as reaching only $90 million.
Poag mentioned that The Avenue had recently hit the market and that his firm "expected increased transactional activity to continue in 2012."
"Actually, when I made that announcement, it had started hitting the public wires maybe the week before, and so they hadn't even released information," Poag said. "It's always been in the back of our mind as just something to keep an eye on, but really the active part of acquiring it has really only been over the last 90 days."
DRA Advisors specializes in real estate investment management services for institutional and private investors, including pension funds, university endowments, foundations and insurance companies.
"DRA likes to invest in real estate, but they're investors, so where we come in is we're the operational partner," Poag said. "With our niche being lifestyle centers, we have the expertise to manage a property, lease it up and be the day-to-day operator of the property."
DRA Advisors in Memphis owns two office properties – Germantown Center and Mid-Memphis Tower – as well as four multifamily assets – Addison at Collierville, Bailey Creek, Madison at Schilling Farms and Preserve at Southwind.
The firm also recently announced its plans to acquire two industrial properties from Houston-based Weingarten Realty Investors as part of a larger $382.4 million portfolio sale totaling 9.6 million square feet in Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Texas and Virginia.

Hayley Atwell — Celeb Crush
This London-born starlet is a dual citizen of both sides of the pond, but we sure are glad she's been spending so much time state-side.
Hayley's parents are both motivational speakers which probably made for a really, really weird childhood full of enthusiasm and vague language. When they divorced, she began to split her time between London and Missouri, which was also probably really weird.
She began acting in a theatre group at the age of 11, and went on to get her degree in acting from Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She got her first roles on BBC TV, notably the popular 2006 show 'The Line of Beauty."
One of her first roles on the big screen came in the 2007 Woody Allen film 'Cassandra's Dream,' but she was burned into the memory of every man on earth in 2011, as Peggy Carter in 'Captain America: The First Avenger.' In 2013, she will appear in the film 'All is By My Side.' Tell you what, we'd love to be by her side. Or front or back or whatever. Not picky.

BALTIMORE, MD - Host Johns Hopkins used a smothering defensive effort and a balanced offensive attack to fuel a 24-7 victory over Susquehanna at Homewood Field Saturday afternoon. The win is Hopkins' 13th straight in the month of September and 14th straight in the regular season at home and improves the Blue Jays' record to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the Centennial Conference. Susquehanna slips to 0-2 overall and 0-1 in the Centennial.
In a game where the Blue Jays outgained the Crusaders 485-122, they couldn't quite pull away until late in the game. A 14-7 lead in the middle of the second quarter remained intact until early in the fourth, when senior quarterback Robbie Mateyfinally gave the Blue Jays some breathing room when he scampered into the end zone from 13 yards out to cap a 10-play, 67-yard drive that made it 21-7 less than two minutes into the final period.
The Crusaders netted a total of eight yards on their ensuing two possessions and JHU extended to a three-score lead with a methodical 13-play, 66-yard drive that ate nearly six minutes off the clock and was polished off with a 21-yard field goal by freshman Nick Campbellto give the Blue Jays a 24-7 lead with less than three minutes remaining in the game.
Johns Hopkins used a pair of long first-half scoring drives to take the 14-7 lead in the first 23 minutes of the game - a lead they held until Matey's score in the fourth. After the teams traded punts over the first seven minutes of the first quarter, the Blue Jays needed just 50 seconds and four plays to go 82 yards and grab a quick 7-0 lead. A 36-yard touchdown pass from Matey to sophomore Brandon Cherrycapped the drive.
Susquehanna answered late in the period when the Crusaders forced a turnover and drove 62 yards in seven plays and knotted the game at 7-7 when quarterback Taylor Kolmer scored on a keeper up the middle. Kolmer set up the touchdown a play earlier when he connected with Devon Pascoe on a 31-yard pass down the middle to give the Crusaders a first-and-goal at the JHU one-yard line.
The Blue Jays grabbed the lead for good midway through the second quarter when they moved 79 yards in 10 plays with Matey keeping the drive alive with a perfect 36-yard pass to sophomore Ryan Finkelon third-and 19 from the JHU 39. Matey ended the drive with the first of his two touchdown runs on the day - this one from six yards out - to give JHU the 14-7 lead.
From that point the difference in the game was the Blue Jay defense, which allowed a total of 51 yards on Susquehanna's final eight possessions of the game (covering the final 37:21). Johns Hopkins allowed just 32 rushing yards on 41 attempts, came up with nine sacks and limited the Crusaders to just a 3-of-16 showing on third-down attempts. The nine sacks are the most by Johns Hopkins since October 18, 2008, when the Blue Jays also totaled nine in a 14-0 win at Ursinus.
Senior Andy Laychur notched a game and career-high 2.5 of Johns Hopkins' nine sacks, while junior Matthew Conneryadded two sacks and three tackles for losses among his career-high 10 tackles on the day.
Senior JD Abbottrushed for a career-high 125 yards on 20 carries and Cherry added 76 yards rushing (on just seven carries) and the 36-yard touchdown reception to pace the Blue Jay offense. Matey was 20-of-29 for 242 yards with one touchdown passing and the two rushing scores. He was intercepted twice on the day.
Kolmer was 10-of-19 for 90 yards and Tim Wade rushed for 56 yards on 19 carries, but the nine sacks (which accounted for 58 yards in losses) and the inability to convert on third down was more than the Crusaders could overcome.
Johns Hopkins will return to action next Saturday when the Blue Jays travel to Moravian. The Greyhounds slipped to 0-2 overall and 0-1 earlier today with a 21-14 loss at McDaniel.

Melyssa's Vibrant Family Home
Name: Melyssa
Location: Arlington, Massachusetts
My name is Melyssa and I share this home with my boyfriend Ted, his daughter, our dog Marshall, and our two cats. We live in what was once the carriage house to the home next door (built in 1860) on a quirky little side street in the center of Arlington, MA — 20 minutes outside of Boston.
We rent one side of the house (there are two units total, side by side) which consists of 1000 square feet of living space spread out over two small floors. The first floor has a small living room, small kitchen and 1/2 bath. The second has 2 bedrooms and a full bath.
We have lived here as a family unit for almost 3 years and have organically let the space teach us how to best utilize it over time. It is an ever changing process and recognizing that fact has helped us tune in to both the home and each other along the way.
My relationship with Ted is a second "marriage" for both of us. It is creativity (specifically, music) that led us to one another 6 years ago and it is very important to us that we keep this creativity alive in our home. Our home is a constant work in progress, but the goals remain the same: to create a space that feels both vibrant and relaxing upon entering, a space which promotes creativity yet respects the need for rest, a space that surrounds all who enter with love.
Thanks, Melyssa!

Social Gambling Conference Highlights the Growing Importance of Social Online Gambling, Reports Belle Rock Entertainment
World's First Social Gambling Conference Goes Off Without a Hitch
By: Marketwired .
Jan. 29, 2013 07:22 AM
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- Speakers, delegates and sponsors from the around the world gathered in London on 16 November for the world's first conference dedicated entirely to social gaming. This, says Belle Rock Entertainment, is a sign of the times: social gaming is the way of the future. Belle Rock Entertainment itself is a big fan of the growing medium that is social gaming and ties in its web and mobile sites to Facebook and Twitter. It believes social gambling is a thing of the future, and so do iGaming Business, the organisers of the London conference.
This ground-breaking conference is designed for those businesses looking to stay on top of online gambling and also for social media producers looking to monetise their gaming offerings. The elite panel of speakers, including industry leaders from both the social media sphere and online gambling will meet to discuss the future of this industry and suggest ways companies can approach this dynamic field of gambling.
The online gambling industry is going through a period of transition and is having to adapt - and adapt quickly - to a round of changes brought through since the world has become more mobile and socially enabled. Although the vast majority of online gambling is still conducted through web-based mediums from laptops and desktop computers, more and more users, particularly younger users with money to spend, are diversifying and conducting their gambling via smartphone and using social apps and plug-ins.
Of course this isn't the first major transition the gambling industry as a whole has weathered. Of course moving from purely land-based to both land- and web-based gambling changed the face of the gambling industry forever. But this is perhaps the first major shake up affecting the online realm of gambling.
However, leading online portals such as Belle Rock Entertainment, have been quick to adapt. Mobile gaming is already bringing in good money so it's just a matter of time before social apps and games will be monetised and becoming another profitable arm of the online gambling world.

Justin H. Piatt - There has been a lot of buzz around the internet about the newest Muppet movie, The Muppets. A lot of positive, wonderful buzz, but it hasn't gone without its negative press either. While I would love to sit here and refute all of the negative comments that have been going around about the upcoming movie, I realize that I can't. I don't know that these people are wrong, just like they don't know that they're right. There is, however, one issue that can easily be proven false, and it is that topic which will be discussed in the following.
You may have heard several people complaining about Fozzie's "fart shoes" gag, as seen in the trailers for the new movie. Those people claim that the Muppets are above fart jokes or toilet humor. It is to this statement that I say... Really?
Join me, won't you, as we examine...
...I came up with a lot of titles.
I'll preface this article by saying that no examples will be submitted from the last twenty years of Muppet productions. That would be too easy with obvious examples such as Miss Piggy's "I've gotta pee" line in Muppets From Space. Or half the lines in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. No, the fart jokes contained in the following article will have come from BEFORE 1990!
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "MY GOD! Jim Henson would NEVER talk about potties!" or "The Muppets never did that!" or maybe even "Jim Henson farted?" Well, guess what. He did. ...Maybe.
The Great Muppet Caper
The first feature film directed by Jim Henson is a classic, a gem, and perhaps my favorite movie of all time. It's funny, it's sweet, and... there's a scene that takes place in a bathroom. Not only does the scene take place in the bathroom, but the Muppets are actually waiting (impatiently) to use said bathroom. And apparently they really, really, really have to go. They even break the door down!
Now, this scene is clever. It's funny. And it's about... bodily functions? Weird. But, there you have it. The Muppets are not above toilet humor. Do you really need more proof? Yes, you do.
The Muppets Take Manhattan
Ah, the Frank Oz directed film so dear to every Muppet fan's heart. Can you believe it? Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy are finally getting married. Not only that, but they're getting married on Broadway! It's like a dream come true! This is the Muppets. It's sweet, it's funny, and there's a real, live priest in it! There's a fart joke!
That's right. There's a fart joke in it. Oh, well. Movie's ruined forever, right? Thanks for destroying the Muppets, Frank Oz, Jim Henson, and company! But, seriously, the moment when all the Muppets turn to see if Rowlf has let one rip is actually really, really funny, isn't it? You didn't mind it at all, did you? Nope, not until I pointed it out to you.
Dog City
Everyone loved Dog City. The Jim Henson Hour may have failed, but Dog City remains one of the best pieces from Jim's later career. It also has a lot of innuendo in it, and at least two toilet jokes. Who can forget the following exchanges?
Colleen: "Quick! Where's the nearest hydrant?"
Ace Yu: "No time for that now. Can't you see we've got a fire to fight?"
Or how about when Ace and Colleen nearly drove into the river?
Colleen: "Oh, my. We almost got wet!"
Ace Yu: "What do you mean, 'almost'?"
There. See? More of this filth!
Okay. This isn't a Muppet movie. But isn't it a beloved favorite of the 1980s? The Jim Henson directed film from a Jim Henson story is fondly remembered by many. But, oh, yeah, there are no less than 70 fart jokes in this movie. That's right... 70. Jim Henson made a movie with more than 70 fart jokes in it. (Or, more accurately, a movie with one joke of 70 farts.) Crazy, right? But I bet you still love the movie.
See? The Muppets are not above fart jokes, and there are numerous other examples that we could cite (A Muppet Family Christmas, anyone?). Thing is, when the Muppets do do them (tee hee), they're usually fairly clever. Based on the context of the "fart shoes" gag, I'm fairly certain this is still the case. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with fart jokes or toilet humor if they're done well (most are not--see Shrek). And, seriously, ONE joke in this movie is going to turn you off to the whole thing?
The Muppets have always been about low brow humor mixed with high brow humor mixed with a lot of heart. That's what I expect from the Muppets, and that's what I expect from The Muppets, and that's why the Muppets are not above fart jokes.
To conclude this article, I will borrow a word from Jason Segel : Lawyered.

The white Selador Desire D60 Studio HD LED Luminaire with Stage Pin Connector from ETC uses high-output, white light LEDs to create a suitable fixture for video, film, and other white light only applications where color temperature and skin-tone rendering are critical.
The luminaire offers a rugged, die-cast enclosure, quiet, fan-cooled operation, multiple lens options, and an advanced user interface that enables easy configuration and specific features for video and film professionals.
The fixture can be configured to operate under control of a studio lighting control desk or via stand-alone, no console required settings for location lighting. The D60 Studio HD uses the patented x7 Color System, mixing 5 colors with 2 different white LEDs to create brilliant HD white light with higher color-rendering qualities. It combines warm white and cool white LEDs for variable color temperature mixing. Added to this are 5 carefully chosen LED colors from the Selador x7 Color System to fill in the white LED spectral gaps.
The D60 Studio HD provides a rich variable white light possible in an LED fixture. The Luminaire comes with a hanging yoke, a 25° secondary lens, and 1.5m PowerCON to Stage Pin power cable.
The fixture uses Luxeon Rebel ES emitters specified by the strictest binning standards. However, on-camera LED response varies with different cameras and settings.
Note: All LED sources experience some lessening of light output and color shift over time. LED output will vary with thermal conditions. Ambient temperatures and orientation affect thermal conditions. Based on the LED manufacturer's B50 l70 specification, a Selador luminaire will achieve approx. 70% of its initial output after 50,000 hours of typical usage. In individual situations, LEDs will be used for different durations and at different levels, which may eventually lead to minor alterations in color performance, necessitating slight adjustment to presets, cues or programs.

Historic Sites
Massachusetts' national parks run the gamut from wide-open spaces, such as the Cape Cod National Seashore, to urban parks that preserve the state's, and the nation's, rich historic past, such as the Freedom Trail – Boston National Historical Park.
Some, like the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area offer both windows into the past and recreational activities.
The Minute Man National Historical Park in Concord is where "the shot heard 'round the world" was fired. Springfield Armory National Historic Site houses a world-renowned firearms collection. The Lowell National Historical Park and the Blackstone River Valley Heritage Corridor testify to the rise and fall of Massachusetts' textile industry. The historic buildings and wharves of the Salem Maritime National Historical Site tell the stories of the sailors, Revolutionary War Privateers and merchants who brought the riches of the Far East to America.

Jan. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Morgan Stanley, the sixth-largest U.S. bank by assets, plans to eliminate about 1,600 jobs from its investment bank and support staff in coming weeks, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The cuts total about 6 percent of the New York-based company's institutional securities group, which includes investment banking and trading units, and support staff, the person said, asking not to be identified because the decision hasn't been made public. About half the reductions will be in the U.S., the person said.
Morgan Stanley reduced staff by about 4,200 people in the first nine months of last year through job cuts and unit sales, after saying in December 2011 it would trim 1,600 jobs. Chief Executive Officer James Gorman, 54, has pledged to lower costs as return on equity remains below the bank's cost of capital.
All levels of employees will be affected, with a focus on senior workers, the person said. The cuts will be distributed across all investment banking and trading units, and some workers have already been notified, the person said.
Morgan Stanley, which had 57,726 employees as of Sept. 30, has laid out a plan to cut $1.4 billion of annual expenses by next year. The firm produced a return on equity of about 5 percent in the first nine months of 2012, excluding charges related to its own credit spreads. That's below Gorman's target of 15 percent.
'Bold Fix'
Daniel Loeb's Third Point LLC said today that it bought a stake in Morgan Stanley and that the firm's shares may double. The New York-based hedge fund called for a "bold fix" for the bank's fixed-income trading business that includes reducing costs in the unit.
Morgan Stanley fell 3 cents, or 0.2 percent, to close at $19.62 in New York. The shares climbed 26 percent in 2012, and trade at about 65 percent of book value, a measure of the firm's assets minus liabilities.
Citigroup Inc. said last month it would cut 11,000 jobs and pull back from some emerging-market nations. UBS AG announced in October that it would fire 10,000 workers and largely exit fixed-income trading.

Lakeland police officials are still not sure what caused the Sunday crash between a 2008 Lamborghini and a 2013 Nissan that resulted in two deaths and life-threatening injuries for another person.
LAKELAND | Lakeland police officials are still not sure what caused the Sunday crash between a 2008 Lamborghini and a 2013 Nissan that resulted in two deaths and life-threatening injuries for another person.
Samuel Jonathan Hampton, 24, of Winter Haven and Tiffany A. Beene, 24, of Kissimmee died Sunday evening at Lakeland Regional Medical Center. Hampton owned the 2008 Lamborghini but Beene was driving.
About 3 p.m., the Lamborghini crossed over the grass center median on University Boulevard, a four-lane divided road completed last year to provide access to Florida Polytechnic. It drove into the path of a white 2013 Nissan GT-R driven by Chi Yan Chan, 43, of St. Petersburg. The two vehicles collided in the eastbound lanes, according to police.
Chan also was transported to Lakeland Regional with life-threatening injuries, according to Lakeland police spokeswoman Ann Dinges.
Chan's passenger, Tan Phan, 22, of Pinellas Park, was taken to Lakeland Regional where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released, police said.
Phan told Bay News 9 that Chan was friends with Hampton and Beene. He and Chan had driven Sunday to Polk County to hang out and watch the Super Bowl. At some point, Phan said, someone came up with the idea to go cruising, and five or six cars headed out for a drive.
"We were cruising and I saw the green Lamborghini coming from the opposite lane," Phan said. "In the blink of an eye we crashed — that's how fast it was."
Phan said no one was racing, and that he and Chan were going about 50 mph, but he wasn't sure just how fast the Lamborghini was going.
"Fast, that's all I can say."
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Samuel Hampton was adopted as a child by Lynn Hampton, who, along with her twin sister, Leigh Hampton, are prominent Winter Haven residents.
"I have known the Hamptons for a very long time," Judd said. "Sam was the light of her life. It just breaks my heart."
Judd said one of the Samuel Hampton's hobbies was collecting sports cars.
Cindy Kuck, a friend of the Beene family, said Tiffany Beene grew up in Guatemala, the daughter of Rocky and Michael Beene who founded the Faith in Action missionary group that continues to do missionary work in Guatemala.
Kuck said Beene graduated from Southeastern University in Lakeland, and that the Beene and Hampton families have been close for a long time.
"Sam was like a brother to her," Kuck said.
"She's left her handprint on many lives."
When an LPD investigator arrived at the scene Sunday, about seven vehicles were parked on the roadside, all high end, including Ferrari, Audi and Mercedes, said Capt. Rick Taylor of LPD.
"They were definitely vehicles capable of being used for road racing," Taylor said.
However, he said, an investigator found no evidence or witnesses to conclude the drivers were racing.
The crash happened in the future area of Florida Polytechnic.
Some motorists who want to speed will seek out roads in new developments because of the lack of traffic, Taylor said.
Police keep an eye on those areas because of that activity.
"In their mind, it's a safe place to go," he said.
"No matter what, it's illegal."
Officers performed extra patrols in that area last year after bicyclists complained of speeders and have given out 84 tickets in the area, about 22 for speeding.

2014 Corvette Power and Torque Numbers
Larry Jewett
The 2014 Corvette Stingray's all-new LT1 6.2L V-8 engine is SAE-certified at 460 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 465 lbs-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm, with the available performance exhaust system. The Stingray is SAE-certified at 455 horsepower and 460 lbs-ft with the standard exhaust system. They are the highest standard power ratings ever for the Corvette, delivered with efficiency that is expected to exceed 26 mpg on the highway.
?The 2014 Corvette Stingray's LT1 engine is a triumph of advanced technology, delivering more power and torque than ever before with greater efficiency,? said Jordan Lee, Small Block chief engineer. ?The LT1's performance complements the Corvette's low mass with a tremendous feeling of power that builds as the rpm climbs. Drivers will experience more power and acceleration than ever before with the standard engine ? in fact, its power and torque surpass many uplevel engines offered by competitors.?
At 74 horsepower per liter, the LT1 has greater power density than the C6 Corvette's LS3 6.2L engine and even the C6 Z06's racing-derived 7.0L LS7. It also produces comparable torque to the LS7 ? up to 4,700 rpm ? and its peak torque is within five lbs-ft of the 7.0L engine. That torque is generated early and sustained across the rpm band, with 316 lbs-ft available at only 1,000 rpm and 90 percent of peak torque available from 3,000 rpm to 5,500 rpm ? giving the lightweight Corvette Stingray excellent acceleration at all speeds.
The new LT1 engine's high output, and high power density and efficiency are due to several advanced technologies, including direct injection, Active Fuel Management and continuously variable valve timing, which support an advanced combustion system. Direct injection is a primary contributor to the engine's combustion efficiency, ensuring a more complete burn of the fuel. Direct injection also keeps the combustion chamber cooler, which allows for a higher compression ratio. Emissions are also reduced, particularly cold-start hydrocarbon emissions, which are cut by about 25 percent. Active Fuel Management, or cylinder deactivation, is a first-ever application on Corvette. It helps save fuel by imperceptibly shutting down half of the engine's cylinders in light-load driving. Continuously variable valve timing is refined to support the LT1 AFM and direct injection systems to further optimize performance, efficiency and emissions.
These technologies support the all-new, advanced combustion system, which incorporates a new cylinder-head design and a new, sculpted piston design that is an integral contributor to the high-compression, mixture motion parameters enabled by direct injection.

Snowy Range Music Festival Makes Laramie a Labor Day Destination
Any time you can offer 33 shows on 3 stages over the course of 3 days, it will get people's attention, and that is something the Albany County Tourism Board greatly appreciates. The 2012 Snowy Range Music Festival is boasting a top notch lineup with something for everyone, which will likely bring a few thousand music lovers to the Gem City over Labor Day weekend.
"It's always our goal, that if there's a good event, that it will bring people to Laramie and put heads on beds," said Fred Ockers, Executive Director of the Albany County Tourism Board.
According to Ockers, it's especially important for them to pump attractions on fall weekends when the University of Wyoming football team is not playing at home. Ockers said the Wyoming Office of Tourism put ads in newspapers from Rapid City to Denver promoting package deals with hotel stays in order to add to the regional draw the festival has become over the past few years.
The Snowy Range Music Festival has become an attraction for more than just the concert goers, interest from bands has skyrocketed. In 2009, Festival Director Carl Gustafson put together the entire lineup by reaching out to bands. In 2010, he had 200 bands contact him. That number grew to 900 for last year's festival. This year, Gustafson says he had 1,300 bands submit information to try and get into the lineup.
Basically, to make the cut you have to be a proven, talented band. It also means that the festival continues to pull big headliners with Dr. John, Macy Gray and Huey Lewis and the News taking top billing this year.
The 2012 Snowy Range Music Festival will be at the Albany County Fairgrounds from Friday, August 31st through Sunday, September 2nd. Tickets can be purchased at the Laramie Area Chamber of Commerce, the Brown'N'Gold Outlet, the University of Wyoming Student Union or online. Check out the full lineup below.

Usak ART TV, 19 August 2008
Adnan Oktar: One that is devout, fears Allah and acts rationally and logically, that is the kind of nation that Allah makes the standard bearer of Islam. That is the kind of nation to which Allah has given the task of disseminating Islam, insha'Allah…A nation that lives by such exemplary moral values, a nation that so lives by Islam. Ask anyone in the Islamic world. Ask who best lives according to Islam. They will say the Turks. It is the Turks who live most rationally, most justly and most consistently. They are very clean, immaculate. There is complete agreement. Everyone says Turkey should be the leader. Everyone in the Turkic world and the Islamic world says that.
Azerbaijan ATV, 27 August 2008
Adnan Oktar: Turkey is a genuine model country for the Islamic world. In other words, it excellently understands and implements Turkish nationalism, excellently understands and implements Islam, and also possesses the type of structure that internalizes secularism. But all Islamic countries agree that it is the country that best applies and lives by Islam. Turkey is punctilious when it comes to cleanliness, understanding, life style and piety. This may be a legacy from the Ottoman Empire, the influence of Ottoman scholars. Allah produces this in the most excellent way, which is why I think Turkey is the country best suited to the leadership of the Turkish-Islamic world.

Clinton says US welcomes Turkey as a leader in the region
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States welcomes Turkey as a rising leader in the region and beyond.
Clinton, who is visiting Turkey, also had bilateral talks with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President Abdullah Gül and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu on Saturday, where the officials discussed bilateral relations and regional affairs.
Clinton said across the region, people from the Middle East and North Africa particularly, are seeking to draw lessons from Turkey's experience and it is vital that they learn the lessons that Turkey has learned and is putting into practice every day. "Turkey's history serves as a reminder that democratic development depends on responsible leadership, and it's important that responsible leadership helps to mentor the next generation of leaders in these other countries," she added.

Before I started to feed raw I read a lot about it and every source said you should have a fast day. As my old lady is sick and needs pills she has to eat every day. But the young dog could have a fast day. Until now I didn't do that as I thought it's unfair to feed one and let the other starve. Even if she doesn't watch she'll know.
Now I think of doing it really right so I'd like to know if you really think it's necessary. What's the use? I read it's for detoxication but somehow that sounds strange. Maybe a day with only vegetables or fruit would do?
You can also post sources or links as I only know German sources.
Also I'd like to know how many of you really do that fast day and what effect it has. Was it difficult in the beginning? Did you notice a change or better a benefit for the dog?

Love alfresco dining? Then you'll love this!
September will see the commencement of a major project to refurbish and extend the existing Verandah Bar. It will also include a relocated and enlarged terrace area outside, including new garden areas visible from the existing Verandah Lounge – perfect for alfresco dining in style.
The existing panelling will be retained and whilst the area will have a somewhat more contemporary feel, the relaxed, eclectic vibe will be maintained. The extended area will have a glass roof so as to take full advantage of the southerly aspect. Regular guests will know that this area is often exceedingly busy, especially at 'tea and cake time', as well as over lunch and in the evening. A new kitchen is being added to provide a variety of light meals and snacks, along with a stunning new bar area.
The new terrace and garden will provide a much larger area for dining and general chilling!
The project will be completed in Spring 2016….. ready for the warmer weather!
More details to follow…watch this space!
27th July 2015
Since first posting this exciting news, some guests have asked for more information about the work. The extension to the Verandah Bar will take place in stages, therefore the Verandah Bar will remain open throughout, and we will of course minimise disruption as much as is possible. Because only the immediate area will be affected by the works taking place, guests will still be able to enjoy Ragdale's many other areas as usual. Anyone booking rooms above the work will be informed at the time of booking, and their rate discounted to compensate for any noise/disruption. We know all our guests value the continued investment in Ragdale and this latest project will ensure this popular area is of the same high standard as the rest of the Hall.
Progress Report
14th September 2015
Phase One, to build the new kitchen area, is now underway. The new area means we can provide our guests with a larger menu, as well as offer a better service, once the project is completed.
Hoarding is up to cordon off the exterior side of the Verandah Bar and part of the existing kitchen and bar area. Until further notice, seating spaces in the Verandah Bar have been reduced and a few minor alterations to the services offered have been put into place. Please speak to one of the Receptionists or a member of the food and beverage team if you would like more information.
2nd October 2015
The site has been stripped and foundations dug! Concreting will be taking place week commencing 5th October.
15th October 2015
The steel frame has been erected so you can now see the shape and size of the extension.

Bill Schonely travels around the state as Blazer ambassador, and is widely known as "The Schonz," a childhood nickname ingrained as a professional broadcaster.
In Hood River Friday, he returned to his childhood roots, learning tongue twisters from Aunt Gertrude, in service of Start Making A Reader Today literacy program. (See page A1 for full article.)
Schonely, with the most famous voice in Oregon, served as emcee of the first Tongue Twister Tournament for SMART. (Full disclosure: I am chairman of the SMART committee, organized the tournament itself and am the one who called up The Schonz back in April to ask him to participate, a decision that took this gentleman all of three seconds to agree to.)
Schonely is the lone remaining original employee of the Blazers from its founding in 1970.
He is a member of the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame and has been called "the most important man in the history of Oregon sports" by Blazer great Bill Walton.
Schonely regaled guests at a pre-tournament dinner with stories such as the time in 1970 when Blazer Jim Barnett jumped onto the back of 7-2 Lakers center Wilt Chamberlain, who flung Barnett 30 feet into the first row.
Schonely has spent more than 60 years in broadcasting, dating to the late 1940s on Armed Forces Radio while serving in the Marines in the Pacific. He did local radio as a high school student in Norristown, Pa., and after getting out of the military he covered minor league baseball and college football in Baton Rouge, La., and covered wrestling - as well as doing ring announcing, serving as a referee and even competing in a tag team or two.
Schonz was never afraid of a dust-up; in 1957, voicing for the Seattle Totems hockey team, he punched an obnoxious San Francisco Seals fan who repeatedly blew a horn in Schonely's ear while he was on the air.
Schonely broadcast the Seattle Pilots games in its one and only Major League Baseball season, 1970, but the team moved to Milwaukee and while he had the offer to move with the team he preferred to stay in the Northwest. He got a call that year from Blazer founder Harry Glickman, asking him if he wanted to do NBA broadcasts for the newly formed Trail Blazers.
Schonely knew Glickman well as the owner of the old Portland Buckaroos of the Western Hockey League.
Schonely had broadcast hockey and just about everything else from professional football to rodeo to wrestling to roller derby, but never basketball.
"I said it sounded like a pretty good deal so I came down and met with Harry.
"We shook hands, talked about an hour, and that was 42 years ago. I am really so blessed," Schonely said.
"One of the jobs he wanted me to do first and foremost was to set up a Blazer radio network. So I went around the state, on bended knee, trying to get those local stations to participate and carry our Blazer games. One of the first stations to sign on was KIHR, right here, and they've been with us for a long time."
Schonely, who wore his 1977 NBA Championship ring, said he had been asked by the team not to discuss the current labor impasse between the owners and players and other team business, but there was no shortage of conversation around the table at Cornerstone Cuisine at Hood River Hotel.
"Do I have a favorite Blazer player? Not really; I still see a lot of those guys, and they're all friends of mine," he said.
Many former Blazers still live in the Portland area and are still involved in the Blazer organization and work closely with Schonely.
Walton, who lives in California, is a close friend. Leg problems make walking difficult for the man who, as center, led the Blazers to the title. But Walton is still an avid bicyclist, including a long-distance day trip into the Gorge when he was in Portland for a recent event.
Schonely recalled the theft, and later return, of the bicycle Walton rode in the June 1977 victory parade.
Contrary to popular belief, Bill Schonely is not retired. He lives in Charbonneau with his wife, Dottie, and the Hood River event was his fifth appearance that week.
"I keep saying I'll retire when they get another ring," Schonely said. Given the "gag order" on discussing Blazer business, Schonely could not speak to whatever personnel moves might enhance the chance of a new title. But the benign sense of resignation evident in his expression and gestures suggested that Schonely might be looking at several more years of Blazer ambassadorship.
If it means he never retires, the Blazers' loss is the Oregon sports community's gain.

Despite getting a formal alert from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2009 that the federal agency might bring a civil enforcement action against the firm, Memphis-based investment firm Consulting Services Group has now been told by an SEC regional office that no such action will be coming.
CSG sent a letter dated March 23 apparently to clients of the firm – addressed "Dear Friends of CSG" – and explains that, while CSG was investigated as part of a broad probe into dealings surrounding New York's state retirement fund a few years ago, the SEC has now told CSG it does not intend to take action against the Memphis firm.
"We voluntarily and fully cooperated with the SEC in its investigation of the New York State Pension Funds which resulted in 19 different firms either being charged with wrong doing or settling charges," the letter from CSG reads. "We are pleased to inform you that CSG was not among this group. The Securities and Exchange Commission's New York Regional Office informed Richard Nummi, CSG's General Counsel, by letter dated February 28, 2012 … that the SEC's staff after completing its investigation determined that no enforcement action by the Commission against CSG with respect to its investigation of the New York State Pension Funds was intended."
The formal notice CSG got in 2009 was something called a Wells Notice. It's an indication the SEC may be poised to take action against the recipient, but it's not a guarantee. The recipient still has a chance to convince the SEC to change its mind.
CSG found itself caught up on the periphery a few years ago of what became a major so-called "pay to play" pension consulting scandal in New York. A complaint filed by the SEC against two political figures in the state said CSG had been approached to pay "what amounted to a kickback demand" to get additional business from New York's retirement fund.
Later, Forbes magazine published a scathing article about the Memphis firm titled "Tainted Pension Fund Advice." That article noted a litany of supposed red flags surrounding CSG's arrangement with Shelby County, where CSG has served as an adviser to the county pension fund.
However, CSG officials have long maintained what the SEC has now confirmed with respect to the New York matter.
At one particular Shelby County retirement board meeting, CSG co-founder Fred Hodges was blunt. He said the company has "never paid as much as a pack of gum to buy an account."
"I get very emotional about this," Hodges told pension board members during that same meeting. "The relationship we've got down here is very important."

Two Ohio State University students with ties to the military have set out to establish an endowment at their alma mater to honor fallen and disabled military service members while providing their children and siblings scholarship assistance.
Two Ohio State University students with ties to the military have set out to establish an endowment at their alma mater to honor fallen and disabled military service members while providing their children and siblings scholarship assistance.
Last spring, Adam Ingram, an OSU junior pursuing an undergraduate degree in neuroscience, and Duck Yim, who is scheduled to graduate from OSU in 2014 and is a cadet in the Air Force ROTC program, began brainstorming for a way to honor U.S. military servicemen and women killed or disabled in the line of duty.
In part compelled by personal ties to the country's armed forces -- Yim through his continued ROTC duty and Ingram as the son of two U.S. Air Force retirees and the brother of a current U.S. Marine -- they already were motivated to pursue the cause.
But upon learning that more than 900 OSU alumni, students and professors have been killed in action, they became truly inspired.
As a result, they founded 1 Day for the KIA (an acronym for the term "killed in action.").
While still fledgling, the nonprofit organization seeks to raise $50,000 in this, its inaugural year, for start-up funds and to produce an annual, $1,000 scholarship to help a child or sibling of a fallen or disabled service member attend Ohio State.
The organization's broader, long-term goal is to raise $2.34 million, which would provide for an ongoing, four-year full scholarship each year.
"We're trying to commemorate those 908 Buckeyes through this organization," said Ingram, a 2011 graduate of Pickerington High School North.
"We have very personal connections with some of these people."
The model for 1 Day for the KIA was established by similar efforts in other states, including Nevada, which Ingram and Yim said has a program providing children with full tuition scholarships at any state institution, and Michigan, where $2,800 is provided each year to military children and siblings for college scholarships.
"We're trying to recognize the service provided by the fallen members," Yim said.
"It can be symbolic of just the relationship parent and child.
"It's a recognition of that absence," Yim said.
"We're saying, 'Here's a gift. Go make yourself a success so you can keep that parent alive by spreading their values.' "
The organization has a website at www.1dayforthekia.org, which provides more information about its mission and ideals.
The site also accepts donations to help support establishing The Living Legacy scholarship endowment at OSU.
In addition to online donations, Ingram and Yim have organized a 24-Hour Endurance Run, to be held on the OSU Oval April 5-6.
That event is designed to help promote awareness for 1 Day for the KIA's cause, and to serve as a fundraiser.
OSU ROTC cadets and alumni are lining up to participate in the endurance run, which will entail running and walking for as many consecutive hours as they can while also generating donations through donor pledges.
"The idea is you're on the track for the entire day," Yim said. "I'm shooting for 110 (miles) in a day.
"We want to commemorate every family," he said. "Every minute ... we're earning more money."
The group also has reserved 50 spots in the endurance race for public participation.
For an entry fee of $320, an individual can run, and for an additional cost of $50 per person, they can add up to four people on a team.
"We'll give them a one-mile tracking bracelet and then it becomes a challenge for each team to run as many miles as they can," Yim said.
Through the organization, the endowment and the endurance run, 1 Day for the KIA hopes not only to help service members' families obtain college degrees, but also spread awareness about the sacrifices military personnel make for their country.
Ingram and Yim said they hope it's a concept that not only endures at OSU, but spreads throughout the U.S.
"Because they have lost their parent or parents, it's important to keep the essence of the parent alive throughout their children," Ingram said.
"I have a deep, profound respect for all the servicemen and women," he said. "We want service members and their family members in our community to come forward and go to our website.
"I would be interested in meeting with them and getting to know them," he added. "We want to just be in contact with them to let them know what we are doing."
Additional information about 1 Day for the KIA is available at the group's website. Donations also can be mailed, with checks made out to "1 Day for the KIA."
The address is: 1 Day for the KIA, 2121 Tuttle Park Place, 3rd Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43210.

"....and if there is a second attacker, you're done, once you go down with the first"....... Bradley J. Steiner
I am sort of amused. The Gracie Brothers brought their brand of jujitsu to the United States about twenty years ago and the martial arts world accepted it as the supreme fighting system. Sorry, but the thinking is flawed.
I first learned of the argument about which is better, grappling or karate, from an episode of "Ozzie and Harriet" almost fifty years ago. Ricky Nelson was a student of Bruce Tegner. David Nelson, his brother, was a wrestler. Ricky and David argued about which is the better martial art. The answer was obvious. What does an inferior boxer do when he is being overwhelmed? Simple, he goes into a clinch and ties up the superior boxer's hands. So, match a striker and grappler in the ring and who will win? Easy, the grappler will win. Why? Because, unless you are handicapped and block with your face, it is very hard to be beaten with a single strike. The grappler will take a shot or two and once he grabs his opponent, the fight is his.
So, the grappler reigns supreme - as long as it is in the ring or on the mat. Outside of the ring or dojo, grappling becomes dubious, even suicidal if your art is focused on going to the mat. Fighting is not a fair contest. The object of an assault is to hurt the other guy and there are no rules in violence.
First, the opponent may be armed. Assuming the mount while the opponent is shoving a blade in your spine or leg isn't a very clever tactic. Second, the opponent's friends or passersby may use your head as a football while you are applying ground fighting techniques. The goal of ground fighting should be to escape and get back up as fast possible.
The Gracie Brothers didn't defeat all comers because their art is superior. Rather, they won because the tactic is superior as long as the environment is one which favors the grappler. The street does not. That's not to say standing grappling techniques aren't a very good thing to learn. Throws, trips and reaps are some of the most street effective movements one can learn. Few things cause more trauma than being slammed to the concrete. I'm saying that an art whose emphasis is going to the ground is one I would run, not walk away from.
This is one of the problems when one studies an art and doesn't see the bigger picture. I started in taekwondo. I thought kicking would be a devastating way to deal with an opponent. Yet, after a few years, I saw the flaw in my thinking. Kicking is slower, balance is precarious, kicking above the hip plane is weak and having the leg grabbed is disastrous. Yet my former art stressed throwing the foot to where the opponent naturally kept his hands. It is almost like playing catch.
But, taekwondo looked soooooo devastating. And, yes, I throw several hundred high kicks every workout and can make them work - I just think I would be choosing a very risky movement in place of a more practical one. Donn Draeger, in writing about muay thai many years ago, wrote the Thai boxer would be quickly undone if grappling were allowed against high kicks.
This is one of the bad things about contests. If I pit a Corvette against a rickety four wheel drive truck, the outcome of the race will depend on the terrain. An asphalt track; the Corvette will win easily. A muddy back road and the Corvette will end up being towed to the garage by the truck. The winner will be determined by which is best suited for the particular environment. Your choice of vehicles must be determined by how you intend to use it.
I have a book on boxing as a street art. The author went to great lengths to discredit karate until I read the last chapter. There, he described "special" street techniques which read like a list from Goju kata. In a book on muay thai, a different author shows "self-defense" techniques in the last chapter which again could have been taken from our kata.
There is a lesson here and that lesson is be very careful about what is currently in vogue. Right now MMA is very popular and it would seem logical that an art which embraces all elements of combat is superior. But those elements are sport combat, and that is a very different thing. A few years back, I watched a documentary about what was being taught to the military. I was stunned to see the instructor applying an arm bar against his downed opponent. Doesn't he know the enemy has two arms and carries a blade? Yet, contest has influenced even the most martial of all organizations.
Contest does improve competitors. I regard boxing's hand techniques as far superior to karate's - in the ring and with the hands padded. Boxing is a discipline honed in competition and tested in a more realistic setting. But, when looked at from a street perspective, flaws emerge. A simple lead hand grab will pretty much tilt things in the karateka's favor. Easy to say perhaps, but any karateka who doesn't take what he or she studies and then apply it to defending against other disciplines, is asleep at the wheel. Of course, you may have no idea what the other person is skilled in, but some fair judgments can be quickly made by how the opponent presents himself.
You will hear many complaints that kata has little resemblance to sparring, but it was never designed with this in mind. And to approach it from a competition standpoint just confuses the subject. Take the simple appearing age tsuki from Seiunchin, only do it at grappling range. Grab your partner's hair with the rear hand, twist your torso to torque the other elbow into your partner's ribs and drive the fist straight up into his throat while pulling his head down. It isn't as sophisticated as the boxer's uppercut, but was designed not only as a clinch breaker, but an absolutely ruthless fight ender.
Over the years, many have left karate for other arts. They feel their karate isn't as effective as, say, MMA or jujitsu. I have come close many times. But then, I see something which disturbs me about the new art and in turn come to understand why the kata techniques are done the way they are. And that is when I smile.

NORTON, Mass. - The United States Coast Guard Academy captured its fourth NEWMAC Men's Swimming and Diving Championship Sunday evening at Wheaton College's Balfour Natatorium, as the Bears led the three-day meet from start to finish for a total of 908 points. Coast Guard's win also put the program in the conference lead for most NEWMAC swimming and diving championships, ahead of MIT's three titles. 2005 winner Springfield College finished as this year's runner-up with 798 points and MIT came in third with 784.5.
The Engineers scored 30 points in the first event on Sunday as Mark Liao and Udit Garg finished third and fifth, respectively, in the 1650 free. Coast Guard's Bobby Brown failed to match his championship record from last season, although the All-America sophomore earned an NCAA "A" cut with a winning mark of 15:52.95.
MIT senior Matthieu Fuzellier grabbed an NCAA "B" qualification with a dominating victory in the 200 back. Fuzellier led from start to finish and won by nearly seven seconds after hitting the wall in 1:52.13. Senior Grady Snyder earned his second individual NCAA cut on the weekend after securing a third-place finish in the 100 free. The top three finishers all copped national citations, with Snyder taking the Bronze in 46.61.
The Cardinal and Gray posted its biggest score in the 200 breast. The Engineers placed four swimmers among the top seven, led by junior Matt Angle, who broke Bruce DiBello's 2002 school record with a time of 2:08.47. The mark also clipped NCAA "B" cuts. Freshman Jeremy Chang finished fourth for MIT, although the rookie swam his season-best 2:11.64 during the prelims.
MIT closed out the 2006 NEWMAC Championships on top, as another strong anchor leg by Snyder propelled the Engineers to victory in the 400 free relay. The Engineers were in a distant second midway through the event, when senior Josiah Rosmarin split 45.89 to throw Tech right back in the mix. Snyder followed with a swim of 45.83 as MIT finished with an NCAA "B" cut time of 3:05.85. The final clip was just off the Institute record of 3:05.21 set in 1993.

The series stars the voices of Ariel Winter as Sofia, the young princess in training; Sara Ramirez as Queen Miranda, Sofia's loyal and caring mother; Wayne Brady as Clover, Sofia's wise-talking rabbit sidekick, and Tim Gunn as Baileywick, the castle's royal steward. Winter's "Modern Family" co-star, Eric Stonestreet, guest stars in the premiere episode as The Voice of Sofia's flying horse, Minimus. Other notable guest stars include Viola Davis ("The Help"), Bonnie Hunt ("Cars"), Ellie Kemper ("Bridesmaids"), Megan Mullally ("Will & Grace"), Kiernan Shipka ("Mad Men") and Jeffrey Tambor ("Arrested Development").
The November 18 premiere of Disney Junior's animated television movie "Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess" introduced a record number of viewers to Disney's first little girl princess, Sofia the First, delivering a crowning glory of 5.2 million Total Viewers on Disney Channel, handily becoming the #1 cable TV telecast of 2012 among Kids 2-5 (1.5 million/9.1 rating) and Girls 2-5 (954,000/12.2 rating). The movie also delivered with older kids and adults, attracting more than 3.0 million Kids 2-11 and more than 1.4 million Adults 18-49.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - MIT posted a 2-1 come-from-behind win over Brandeis University in men's soccer action on Wednesday. Robert Pilawa scored the game-winning goal for the second consecutive game. He notched the final goal in the Engineers' (5-1-1) double-overtime win against Lasell College on Saturday.
The Judges (5-5) controlled the ball for most of the first half, but only held a 5-3 advantage in shots. Tech had a chance to get on the scoreboard late in the period, but Brandeis goalie Pat Makridakis made an incredible goal-line save stopping Alex Morgan's shot.
MIT's offense found new life in the second half, as it out-shot the Judges, 14-6. Brandeis, however, found the back of the net first with Yuval Ezer scoring in the 61st minute. Despite the setback, the Engineers continued to attack and evened the score 13 minutes later. James Zorich cleared the ball to Jose-Ramon Torradas who sent a throughball to Alex Morgan for the goal. The Engineers took the lead with 3:01 left to play when Robert Pilawa connected on passes from Torradas and Chris Desrochers.
Goalie Morgan Mills had four saves for MIT. Pat Makridakis had one save in the first half while Jake Knoll had six in the second half.
The next game for MIT will be on Saturday, Oct. 9 at 1:00 p.m. when it hosts NEWMAC foe Babson College.
