Are you ready to yooyu?
The classic game of Yooyuball is back in this year's Altador Cup. Pick a team to represent, play games to rack up points, and help your team get a chance to win the annual Altador tournament. Stick with JN for all of your AC updates along the way!
Parting Thoughts on the Cup
This year, more than any other, the Altador Cup has seen changes that seem vastly unpopular with the event's core participants. It's clear that there are some problems with the Cup, but what are the solutions? This year, Jellyneo's Altador Cup coverage has been provided by the dedicated team of Herdy, Link, and Ummy. On this page you'll find their thoughts about the present, and future, of the Cup.
Herdy's Thoughts
(Herdy has taken part in the Altador Cup in all 8 years on the Haunted Woods team.)
There have been a lot of hot topics in this year's AC, and everyone seems to have their own solution. For my part, I'm largely going to ignore the problem of cheaters running rampant. I honestly can't see a perfect solution to completely eliminate the problem, and TNT have their work cut out solving the problem there. My only real suggestion there is to recalculate team scores at the end of the Cup to take into account scores from users that have been frozen during the event. My main issue is with the current system as it stands, what has been done well, and what can be improved for the future.
The Brackets
It seems overwhelmingly clear that the majority of the AC community is not a fan of the bracket system. Whilst you can make a case that the majority of the players on site are not part of this community, and as such those views may in fact be in the minority, the AC at its heart is a community event - more than any other on Neopets. It is therefore important to keep this community on side, so to speak, in order for the event to be a success.
The bracket system was a good attempt at reinvigorating the AC format and shortening it, but it simply didn't work. It prevents teams for playing all other opponents, and stacks a lot of the outcome on pure luck. The changes during the AC8 only made these issues worse. Five day brackets combined with the potential to play a team twice in a bracket mean that event fewer teams are now playing each other in daily matches. The additional fact that this year's brackets were not random, but based on last year's standings, makes the selection even more unfairly stacked against some teams. Scrapping a good deal of the planned changes mid-Cup this year wasn't a great idea, either.
So what's the solution? Well, the double round robin format was good, but it was a bit too long. By day 34, most people were bored with Yooyuball. A smaller format where you play all teams seems like a good idea. A single round robin with finals seems the best solution, at 19 days play. Some people feel this might be a little too short. The solution there is simple - add two more teams to the Cup :P
Without a doubt the single greatest improvement in the AC8 was the decision to show scores on the results page. Without that, we never would have known the sheer scale of cheating going on, or how strong/weak certain teams really were. It was a bold move to improve the transparency of the Cup, one that has doubtless given TNT a few headaches, but a good one.
But why stop there? As long as the brackets remain, showing us the scores of daily results doesn't really matter as the two are not directly related. The move towards transparency should be applauded, but TNT must go further - it is time to reveal the formula. The method of scoring for the AC has been kept secret since its inception, and TNT have used the cover of not wanting to encourage cheaters by revealing it. There was somehow the idea that cheaters would be able to use the formula to win the Cup. Well, guess what, the cheaters just did that. Revealing the formula is not going to make them more successful - they have already taken a team to 1st position. They cannot do any better. To be in a sport where, 8 years in, no one knows how to win, is ridiculous. It shouldn't continue.
Ethel Boortz is a fun addition to the Meridell team this year, but I'm likely to say that as I am a fan of elderly Neopets. The switch between Tyrannia and Moltara was also logical given the relative similarity in team themes. In terms of new additions, TNT has done well this year. However, it is now 3 years since a good chunk of AC players suddenly switched genders for no reason. To make matters worse, this year the identities of Vere Polinek and Tulah Kisner on Moltara suddenly swapped. Adding in new characters is great, but existing ones should at least be labelled correctly, surely?
Girl or boy?
The Fanatic's Museum
I know many people are not fans of NC, but it is a fact of life, and in this AC it's involvement has been good. I am a fan of these access area events, and it was an imaginative theme to visit the Techo Fan's home this year. There were many good items with multiple uses, and the inclusion of the Collector's Corner area that re-released popular previous items was also a fun move - roll on the GMC and the re-release of Lulu's wig, I say! The only gripe I have with the NC areas this year is that this is now year 8 of the Cup - where are our wearable Yooyuball slings, TNT?
The Staff Tournament
If there's one area of the Cup that I feel is working absolutely perfectly, it is the Staff Tournament. Gone is the elimination format, and the pick-a-team format is great fun. The fact that staff's scores also vary, making picking and sticking a poor tactic, also gives an extra element to play. It even has its own prize shop, which typically has fun, playful items in it.I've long been a fan of extending the guessing/betting system of the Staff Tournament to the Cup as a whole - this would have the effect of legitimising preexisting prediction pages and encouraging a lack of team bias. Perhaps a valuable addition to next year's Cup.
The Cup can still be salvaged, but action must be taken. We simply can't have another year of brackets. The event needs to be refocused towards the thing that sets it apart from other Neopets gaming events like the Daily Dare or Games Masters Challenge - the community. They are the key to the Altador Cup. Encouraging players to visit official team chat groups on the Neoboards, team avatars, making daily results matter again to make Cup coverage matter. All of these things would help the community feel like they matter once again. Of course, cheaters are a major issue for the AC, but let's not get bogged down in that. The AC has other problems, and if they are not fixed, there won't be a Cup to cheat in.
Link's Thoughts
(Link has participated as a member of the Altador team in all 8 years)
The Altador cup is one of the more prominent site events that occurring annually on Neopets. It has garnered followers that only appear each year on Neopets to compete in this �ancient� tournament. I would go as far as to say that the Altador Cup is one of the most popular (in terms of user participation) and entertaining of the site events; save for the plots that occasionally show up. Since its creation, now 8 years ago, I personally have participated in every single Altador Cup and each time I always pick Altador as my team. This year, even though I actively participated in bringing Altador Cup updates to Jellyneo users, I hardly played at single game. I made it to Rank 1 on the very last day in part to racing against the clock in Shootout Showdown. In this run down of the Altador Cup, and more specifically AC VIII, I�m going to give my two-cents as a veteran of the games and why exactly this year was so difficult for me to gain much interest in playing in it.
Every year I wish for something new to happen amongst the team that could stir up the participation levels of the Altador Cup. I love seeing new players being brought in and I like seeing teams� trade players as well. This year we received 1 new player, an Elderly Ixi for Team Meridell, and the goalies for Team Moltara and Team Tyrannia were traded. I was hoping that it would be more of a bang honestly. I was crossing my fingers for another pet, maybe something Eventide, to show up on the field. But it didn�t. Sad Link is sad.
One thing I believe TNT can improve upon is the amount of information we get from teams BEFORE and DURING the Altador Cup. All we are given about the teams are the little blurbs during the new count down set up, and the team bios when signing up. What if during the tournament the team captains, or anyone else on the team for that matter, gave us feedback on how we were performing (not personally performing but how the team itself was during in the tournament), told us strategies on defeating the current team, or even some words of encouragement! The one example I can give for this is the Obelisk War event where the leaders of each army talked to the participants. This in turn would draw me into playing more to discover what [insert players name here] says. It�s small addition if you get right down to it, and it can be used for some humorous results.
Ya doin' great kid! Keep on winning for the glory of Altador!
The Games
I think it is time for change in the actual games of the Altador Cup. Shootout Showdown was the last game to be released and that was back in Altador Cup IV. Since then only the game of Yooyuball has changed and there was a large outcry over the update; and there still is. One thing that deterred me away from participating this year was the fact that games remained the same in every way as year previous. The only thing �new� I noticed in this Altador Cup was the aforementioned team updates. TNT should try and focus on their main event again to get the tweaks out of it. There is still an outcry over the main event, and if the main event gives people problems, then you have a problem. I would rather NOT have the power ups and the charged up shooting bar. I felt the old style still suites me more in the sense of enjoyment. I know it was changed so there was not as much repetition occurring, but no matter what they do there will always be repetition. This year and the previous year it felt as though Yooyuball did not matter as much too, but more on that later when I talk about the bracket system.
One change they could make to Yooyuball is with the Yooyus. We haven�t had a new Yooyu since Altador Cup II and it is becoming a wee bit stale. Adding a new color or two to the lineup would shake the tournament and add a nice flare to it in my opinion. Try Jelly or Shadow. Jelly could bounce all over the place and shadow could disappear for a second or two if held for too long... actually wait DON�T use those. I may be repeating what everyone else has said a countless number of times, but please do something about the Darigan Yooyu. If someone on the opposing team can shoot it straight into my goal without having to do any fancy angles then we have a problem.
The side games could use some spicing up as well, but in the end I have no quarrels if they are not. Honestly the only qualm I have right now is that Slushie Slinger is too slow in the beginning and actually put me to sleep this year.
Dear TNT, if you wanted to any future Altador Cups a success and entertaining, add achievements back again. Add achievements that we don�t see on the main page Altador cup hub, making them all the more exciting to�well achieve. If Altador Cup VIII had achievements in, my participation would have been higher than it was.
The Brackets.
Can we be honest here? I think we should. Let�s be honest here, the brackets are the worst idea to come from the Altador Cup. If there is one thing that could possibly single handedly bring down the Altador Cup, it is the bracket system. In the beginning it was seen as the shining light for the lower ranked contender of the Altador Cup to finally rise up and gain higher ranks than what they are common to. This couldn�t be further from the truth. After a day or two of playing the brackets a practically became set in stone. Smaller teams, such as Moltara and Faerieland, could only fight over who wasn�t placed in last.This year the very first round was last year�s final round brackets, so nothing original there. This year teams we partnered together until the very last round. Some smaller teams were always against section brackets with much larger teams and as such they were eradicated in the standings. It makes it seem as though the games no longer matter. It does not matter how many games you win; what matters is if you stay on top of your opponent. By the third and fourth rounds, many teams started giving up proclaiming that the brackets were unfair.
But what can be done to remedy this wound in the Altador Cup�s side? If we went back to the Round Robin type of tournament, the length of it would certainly be its downfall, and even then we crave some sort of variety in it. Will TNT stick with the bracket system for future games, and if so how will they fix the problems that are blatantly in front of their eyes?
The Staff tournament
I actually enjoy the staff tournament style that they have going. A nice small side prize shop and some strategy in picking the staff members. Bravo there~
TNT on site news updates
Has anyone notice the little news updates TNT gives on the main Altador Cup page? They don�t update every often, in fact there were only four new blurbs in that area during the entire AC 8, and that bothers me. It should take too long to make a new blurb every once in a while right? It shows that they are paying attention to the cup and are willing to comment on it. I did one just to see how long it would take
In a stunning turn of events, Faerieland takes the lead in the Altador Cup for the first time in Cup history. Fans of the team are shocked and awed and proud of their team and continue to cheer them on, if not louder! Queen Fyora, who you might recall is always busy, has even graced us with her presence! We can only hope that they don�t slip up now! Watch out Neopians, Faerieland might just win it all.
That took me 10 minutes to make and write. Now obviously this would take a member of TNT a tad longer to complete as they have more to do, but in the end it is a small bump in the road compared to what else needs to be done. If they are not willing to put forth more effort then why not just get rid of the feature? Or maybe spotlight fansites/petpages that do daily recaps of the events. There are tons out there (even though Jellyneo is the best at it.)
Point blank, just stop talking about them. Yes teams this year were tainted by them. Tyrannia�s near perfect record and Altador�s sudden success are just two prime examples. We cannot however disregard those on aforementioned teams that fought for their placement fairly and gave it their all just like any other. To them I say bravo, and to the cheaters I turn a cold shoulder and ignore.
In conclusion I feel that there is a plethora of features that TNT could update and fix with any future Altador Cup tournaments. Even though my team, Altador, did fantastic in the cup I could not help them out more than I did. You could call me a freeloader, or someone who has other things to do, or someone feels that there is so much that could be improved upon. Call me anything you want, but these are all my own personal opinions. I love the Altador Cup. I look forward to each year as if it were a real sporting event. I do hope changes are made in the future to help this site event progress. Who knows, maybe the changes will help spark ideas into the minds of TNT on future features for the site in general. I do not foresee this tournament closing anytime soon; and though the amount of participation I put forth may vary from year to year, I will always be playing this amazing tournament.
Ummy's Thoughts
(Ummy has played on the Krawk Island team for all 8 years of the Cup)
The Altador Cup has always been one of my favorite events on the site (second to plots), and I hate to admit it, but this year I found myself struggling to enjoy it. I�ve been loyal to Krawk Island but still I struggled to find the spirit to root for my team, even as we rose through the standings and I continued to rank up. What should have been a fun highlight of the summer quickly morphed into something unsettling, and unfortunately, I see that others share my disappointment.
Now that Altador Cup VIII has come to a close, I�d like to take some time to give some insight into what can be improved for next year and beyond. After eight years, I say now is the time to freshen up the Altador Cup. Personally, I find that the problems with this year's Altador Cup could be summed up in three core issues: the brackets, the scoring, and the cheating, but I also touch upon plenty of areas that could add even more fun to future Altador Cups. Honestly, as a fan it hurts to write some of this, but I feel that it must be made known that the Altador Cup can be great again.
The Games
The core of the AC�the games�is not flawed, but is need of some repackaging. Some small improvements, along with some new additions, could do wonders to invigorate the Altador Cup.
To start off, the Darigan Yooyu simply must be reverted back to its old behavior. In old Yooyuball, the ball was simply a reflection across the horizontal direction, and with just a little practice, you could figure out how to score them consistently. Now, the Darigan Yooyu gets thrown in a random direction, and goals are entirely based on luck�no skills involved! Believe it or not, the best way to score is to wait for the other team to score it into their goal by mistake. Another thing worth mentioning: time is critical in the Altador Cup. The ability to skip cut scenes immediately as opposed to waiting a few seconds would save us time, as would not having to sit through kickoffs with 1-2 seconds left in the game, a time window so small scoring is impossible.
Your worst nightmare
Since the last new mini game we had was Shootout Showdown more than four years ago, the Altador Cup could benefit from some new mini games. In particular, alternate side games. Side games are already alternates for each other, but even limiting yourself to four games across a thirty day competition can put you at risk to boredom. My solution is to have side games the same length and point value as an alternate, both which represent a skill. For example, the current games and an alternate could fall under these four skills respectively: Yooyuball, Preparation, Team Spirit, and Goal Scoring. We could have another goal-scoring game that can take 3-5 seconds a game. When you tire out Shootout Showdown after half an hour, you could switch to the other game without concerns of wasting time or points for your rank. Since Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown are worth the same, but Make Some Noise can last 6 times as long, they aren't exactly the best substitutes for each other. Not to mention Slushie Slinger can take longer than Yooyuball but is worth 1/3 of a Yooyuball game. Rather than just adjusting the scoring, we're overdue for some new games. Sure, the All-Stars might quickly tire of them too, but at least we'll have more options�and it'd be interesting to see how teams would fare. It'd be something new, and new is what the Altador Cup desperately needs after eight years.
Format and Scoring
Without a doubt, the bracket system was the biggest problem with Altador Cup VIII. It just does not fit compared to the fully functional Double Round Robin system we once had. Oddly enough, the bracket system doesn't make sense if the Altador Cup is intended to be a sport. While there are certainly sports run by brackets in the real world, results are determined squarely by wins and losses. The Altador Cup seems to be using a combination of many factors. Even at the end of the tournament, it is still unclear how the Daily Results translate to both the bracket standings and overall standings, if at all. On the first day of a bracket, the losing team (Meridell) ranked higher than the match's victor (Haunted Woods) in the bracket standings. Based on that fact it appears that previous results influence them, but we also don't know how or why. Under this system, you can win and lose at the same time. That's a real head scratcher.
In a sport, the players are always aware of how to win and what constitutes a loss. They know the terms of how performances are scored. Not only do we not know the methods of how teams are scored, but which factors are being used to determine the rankings. Essentially, we're missing the what, the why, and the how. I feel that we don't need to know TNT's algorithms, but more transparency would increase our understanding of the rankings. More explanation as to why the rankings are scored in this manner would reduce a lot of frustration and confusion in the community. We need to feel that a team is truly better, and if they are, how our teams can improve. The inclusion of scores in the Daily Results was a wonderful step in the right direction, but we still don't how they affect the standings.
After two years with the bracket structure, I feel strongly that the brackets were not the most fitting replacement for the Double Round Robin. Unlike the round robin, teams now end up playing others twice while not playing every team in the bracket. The double round robin system worked. In the round robin, each and every team played each other once; the victor could claim honestly they were the best team of the Cup. And no matter how great your team performed through the round robin, nothing was decided until finals, the most exciting part of the Cup. With the lack of finals with the brackets, the results were pretty clear from halfway into the Cup, with third place being the only question. This was the fairest system, since all teams played each other. Skill got you to the top, no luck involved. Since the brackets involve luck, it can never be fair to all teams. Some will have to face the top powerhouse teams several times, while other won't. And as we saw with ACVII, the top teams never had a chance to face each other.
The best solution I could suggest would be to introduce a Single Round Robin with finals. It would almost be the length of Altador Cup VII, the shortest Altador Cup. It may be a simple system, but it's fair, easy to understand, and it works. The brackets, even without the scoring issues, will never be fair to all teams. A true sport promotes fairness and awards skill based on set terms of winning. As it stands, the Altador Cup has a way to go.
I also feel it's worth reminiscing over a major sparkle that has been missing these last few years. With the Double Round Robin, teams gradually improved year after year until they finally won. To go down the list: Darigan Citadell, Roo Island, Krawk Island, Lost Desert, Kreludor. In the following year, the winning team fell in the standings and a new winner was allowed to shine. It's great that smaller, underdog teams win, but when they are made nearly invincible because of a team's size, it can become frustrating if your team is too large. Teams who take last place may jump to the podium in the following year. That said, it could be nice if the scoring system was more balanced. For example, if higher ranks only accounted for a large chunk of a team�s Daily Points, so players at all skill levels would influence their team without relying on a handful of players who go to All-Star and beyond.
The prize shop is one of the most exciting things about the Altador Cup, but it has gotten a bit predictable. Sure, it is fun to imagine what will replace the logo-plastered slushies and pillows of years past, but when you consider the time and dedication it takes to score the higher tier items, the prizes seem less than spectacular. Worthwhile prizes are more than just witty; they're desirable and useful, and on top of that they have good investment value: unbuyable stamps, books, excellent BD weapons, Petpets, stat increasers, amazing wearables. We've had quite a few of these in the recent Obelisk War and the Faerie's Ruin prize shops, but the AC has trapped itself within its tradition. Every year, we see the same types of items around the same point values. Why not mix it up a little, and add a little flare? And why even limit the shop to Neopoint items? Imagine if you could buy some NC game tokens, fortune cookies, or NC exclusives with prize shop points, getting the large NC community even more involved in the Altador Cup. Altador Cup prize shops always have something for everyone�whether you're a battler, customizer, book reader, collector. On top of that, they have a great balance and great ideas, but it's a shame all of that greatness doesn't translate to desirability, usefulness, and value that the earliest Altador Cup Prize shops had.
Every year, it takes a massive amount of effort to get the top prize, and the returns vary. Many people feel the glory from finally hitting that elusive All-Star Rank after a month of playing, only to realize it was not enough to earn the top prize, not even close. Typically, it takes 1.5 times All-Star to achieve the top prize, which usually runs at only a few million NP and is no longer an item unique to the Altador Cup, so it's very susceptible to deflation. To many, the sheer amount of hours to rank well beyond All-Star is a difficult achievement, requiring a perseverance that makes restocking and playing games look highly lucrative upon comparison. Therefore, they should be rewarded appropriately. And, as there's nothing truly special All-Stars can buy, it's treated as just another rank in the AC prize shop. Perhaps the ranks are in need of some adjustment, where All-Star equates to 40,000 Points. Either way, a fresh new prize shop would make all efforts truly worth it. Even if the competition wasn't leaning in your favor, you still have the fun of increasing your personal rank and expecting something nice, something far better than you could restock or anything else you could be doing on the site instead. Hitting All-Star is an achievement, and it should be rewarded as one.
Fanatics Museum
I've been saying for years now that NC events in general should borrow from the Altador Cup V NC challenge format with actual challenges, rather than just click-and-get-a-prize daily, but it seems that no amount of flashback passes will rescue that event from the past. The quirky art alone makes up for the lack of actual event attached to it, though, and made it a worthwhile daily. This year had some fun with the Techo fanatic and his lineage, I assume�his trademark cheer seems to run in the family.
Like last year, you could choose to participate in only one of the sections, which is a plus if you're saving NC or if a set just doesn't suit you. Speaking of suits, the Make Some Noise pass is in essence a nice super pack with a cute bonus. Most importantly, this event introduced the flashback pass, which has single handedly forever revolutionized the NC community. These 600 NC passes awarded retired NC items from past AC NC events, including the coveted Skeletal Face Paint and Altadorian Wig with Gold Ribbon. Just for these two items alone, it was a great deal, not to mention you get six other items and an addition three if this was your first pass you activated. Bravo for TNT for rereleasing some of the NC community's favorites. About the other items, the team wearables were silly but that's what made them so fun to wear. Someone was clearly an avid sports fan. Finally, it's nice that they're moving away from just garb adorned in Altador Logos and Yooyus toward pieces usable year-round. The variety of items here was pretty good, and there's even clothing for male pets!
Staff Tournament
The Staff Tournament is a whole lot of fun. I honestly can't think of any improvements here. There's a lot of strategy at play, too. I know at least I had to look up data here on JN to pick my team. To do well, you must analyze whether you want to switch out a teammate for the chance of scoring higher, or being loyal to your chosen staff. If you picked right, the NP payout is pretty sweet by the end of the Cup. And a prize shop on top of that is even sweeter. If you picked wrong, well, there's always TNT Staff Smasher...
Disclaimer: Ummy does not endorse the usage of TNT Staff Smasher against TNT Members. Water balloons are to be used instead.
Achievements, where art thou? One of the great things that surprised us from AC V was the introduction of achievements. These were very popular, but for unknown reasons they were scrapped the following year. Since then, achievements have been featured in plots, events, wars, and are the crux of the Daily Dare and Games Master Challenge, so achievements returning to the Cup would be a welcomed move. Perhaps, much like the game challenges, we could have daily achievements. Achievements, completing them on release day or not, could contribute toward some bonus prize shop points.
On Cheating
TNT has made it clear that cheating will not be tolerated, but they need to take their stance a step further�action. There will always people willing to cheat at any game, but that doesn't mean we let them win. The entire Altador Cup suffers at the expense of cheaters if they can influence the standings. Many of these cheaters will be caught, but the damage has already been done. Their illegitimate scores leave a scar on a team's good reputation, and tarnish the integrity and fun that we've come to love about the Altador Cup. If users are motivated by cheating, let their voices not be heard. At the end of the day, TNT cannot control one's decision to cheat, but they do control the score calculations. My suggestion for TNT is to find a way to recalculate scores if necessary. Once the cheaters are dealt with, their illegitimate scores should be removed if they significantly affect the Daily Results. If a team won by a massively wide margin, or if anything strikes them as odd, perhaps the results should be immediately flagged as �Under Review� and not published until TNT could get to the bottom of it. This is all probably easier said than done, but TNT needs to take control the AC from the cheaters and back to its rightful place�the players. Solely focusing on stopping each and every cheater was clearly not enough. What first needs to be stopped is their influence.
Closing thoughts
There is no doubt ACVIII had its share of problems, but I want to make it clear that there is plenty of potential left in the Altador Cup. The Altador Cup has survived so long because of the community built around it. Players come together every year and dedicate hours a day to helping their team, even if some find the games repetitive after a while. The Altador Cup has become a place for old friends and new, for experts and beginners to unite and compete for glory. With more transparency, some minor tweaks, and a revamp of the system, it can return to the Cup that fans praised, and become a warm welcome to those who've never experienced the AC before. I personally would love to see more changes to promote the Altador Cup community as a whole, including achievements, because it's the community that has brought team spirit to the Altador Cup for the past eight years.
The brackets, the scoring, and the cheating cannot go on as is. We need finals to keep the nail-biting, heart-pumping going until the final minute of the Cup. We need a structure fair to all teams from start to finish. We need to understand how rankings are determined, and how it reflects the best of the best. We need to stop cheaters so no longer will the Cup be burdened by cheating teams, and teams accusing each other of cheating. A new structure that is familiar to the old one is best. With a new coat of paint combined with some fresh gears, wrought from the parts of the Cup we all knew and loved, the community can return to embracing the Cup again.

Band of brothers
PUBLISHED: 15:31 27 August 2008 | UPDATED: 10:25 12 August 2010
A THREE man band is set to storm the international stage when they jet off to a music competition in Eastern Europe. Beckenham born brothers, Dieu, Jace and Alfie Carreira of pop band Nicole Jane are due to fly to Romania today to take part in The Golde
A THREE man band is set to storm the international stage when they jet off to a music competition in Eastern Europe.
Beckenham born brothers, Dieu, Jace and Alfie Carreira of pop band Nicole Jane are due to fly to Romania today to take part in The Golden Stag, Europe's second largest music competition after Eurovision.
The trio, who have supported RnB soul singer Lemar, were chosen ahead of signed and unsigned acts to represent the UK in the competition, to be aired live on Romanian TV in Brasov in September.
Dieu Carriera, 22, said: "We are really looking forward to it. I don't want to take anything away from English crowds but Eastern European audiences are really something else.
"They are very demonstrative and really show their feelings. And the women are crazy. But then again, if a British crowd respond to you it shows that they really must like you.
"We were on a tour of Romania when a talent scout for the Golden Stag spotted us and insisted that we submit a demo. We're very confident about getting through. We know what our potential is.
"Touring with Lemar was amazing. We thought it would be like a test to see if we really were ready for the big stage and, as the saying goes, 'when cometh the hour, cometh the man.' It went really well.
"There is nothing like getting on stage and performing. It feels like sex. It's the greatest thing ever, the best feeling in the world. It's indescribable."
Nicole Jane have been on MTV Base as well as receiving regular airplay from the UK's leading tastemakers on national and pirate radio stations.
The band also won the best UK unsigned act of 2006 at UK Unsigned, a nationwide talent search in which thousands of contestants from genres such as RnB, rock, soul, pop and hip-hop compete for the top prize.
The brothers' varying taste in music helps them to feed off each other and create an original sound.
Dieu said: "I'm a jazz man but I like some folk music like Bob Dylan as well. Alfie likes RnB and Jace is more into guitars."
Asked what the future holds for Nicole Jane, Dieu said: "We just want to make good pop music which has its roots in RnB and soul. We want to get back the dynamic that the British music scene once had.
"We're the most exciting thing to come out of British music in the last five years. There are great things ahead. Our ultimate gig would be performing at the Grammys or headlining at Glastonbury. We know there's a long way to go before that but we're sure we will make it."

So many places to stay in Thailand - how do you choose ?
Preferably with a great beach, good restaurants but not over priced. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My wife and I lead very busy lives and need a getaway in next month for about 10days - but dont want to break the back account either.
3 Answers
There is quite a choice down the south of Thailand. Personally I love Koh Samet, its cheap (or can be expensive) and has some great beaches & Restaurants. You can stay in a nice hotel for about 1,200 baht and then that can go upto 10,000 on the 5star places. Those are all on the beach, my favorite is the Silver Sands resort, good rooms, restaurant and have the main bar that most people goto at night.
Koh Samui which is a bit more touristy but also has everything you want, from amazing fish restaurants (fishermans market). Just don't stay in the main towns as they get very loud and full of drunken tourists. West side or north west is a nice place to stay around. Or there is Phuket/Koh Tao/Koh Chang/Krabi. Krabi is good but beaches are always full. Phuket is always good, just quite pricey. almost 10 years agoAnswered by DanyK via WorldNomads.com
My favorite place is Koh Tao - the smaller island with lots of diving, secluded beaches, and a bit more off the beaten path. almost 10 years agoAnswered by Ian C via Travellr.com
Thailand is fantastic at being able to offer such a huge range of places to stay for all different price groups. You can go very cheap and get some good accommodation, but it can also be really bad - but then the same at the other end too !
I have always been lucky - first time I went I ended up in Koh Phangan and stayed at Star Huts when it was just a small collection of huts that were quite basic but fronted right out onto the sand and sea. Now its been developed slightly and I hear that its not a good as it once was.
Last year I stayed at Tub Tim on Ko Chang and really liked it. It was at the quieter end of the bay, had a good selection of huts in different price brackets and had a great restaurant on the beach. I paid around 2,000 baht a night which included breakfast, had a gorgeous little chalet which overlooked the beach and had its own nice bathroom with plenty of hot water plus also AC. You could go basic for around 400 baht a night - no AC, no electric etc.
A friend went very upmarket and stayed at Indigo Pearl on Phuket and said it was amazing - she booked in advance and got a very good rate which included breakfast.
I have found that Koh Samui is a little overdeveloped in areas of my liking, but Cheweng Beach does offer everything from a hammock to a 5*+ resort.
My suggestion would be to work out how far you want to travel from Bangkok - if thats where you are flying in to. Koh Samui requires either the train or another flight. Koh Phangnan requires a flight to Koh Samui and then a long ferry (4 hours) and then to Star Huts is a jeepnie for another hour. Koh Chang is a little over an hours drive from Bangkok but then requires a 20 minute ferry/speedboat which will drop you exactly at Tub Tim. almost 10 years agoAnswered by Sam Richards via Travellr.com

J. Grant Swank, Jr.
That's correct.
Tolerant Switzerland is putting it to Muslims inside its borders.
Minarets have to go. Slice them off. Dump them. No more skylines ruined with poking the clouds with Islam's symbolic pride and power.
Swiss voters slapped a "blanket ban" on spikes in the air, per AFP and Swiss' new agency ATS.
That's moving forward.
If other countries wised up, civilization could gain ground again. If not, Muslim murdering-the-infidels spread will increase. Decent, law-abiding citizens must act. They must defend their cultures rather than brag on multiculturalism, as Europeans have been boasting lately.
Now these various nations are concluding that multiculturalism is all right when it refers to cultures representing civility. But when Islamics try to slide in under multiculturalism, they are barbarics that just don't fit, no matter if they attempt to be "moderates."
After all, who can define a "moderate Muslim"? All Allah disciples are committed to slay infidels or be slain by zealots. What does that mean for sleeper cells waiting for the call to slice and dice non-Muslims? It means that in short time we non-Islamics are spewing forth the blood fountains.
Therefore, topple the Allah might-symbol atop mosques. Rid that power fling from society. Then go after the mosques themselves, as well as the so-called spiritual leaders holding seminars on how ruin nations.
America must rid itself of Islamic schools teaching their young to hate non-Muslims. Some of these schools have received press coverage; but they are still open. Are they in your neighborhood?
America must rid itself of Islamic websites—4000 of them—that play "friendly" while defending Muslim intrusions till the sleeper cell call-ups broadcast.
America must rid itself of Muslim military personnel who give obvious signals of plotting terror.
Americans, in other words, must do more than they are doing in order to presence freedoms for citizens who deserve freedoms. Muslims intent on prostituting freedoms must be deported.
Yes, no niceness. Deportation.
"The SVP had forced a referendum under Swiss regulations on the issue after collecting 100,000 signatures within 18 months from eligible voters.
"Switzerland has an uneasy relationship with its
Muslim population of some 400,000 in a country of 7.5 million people. Islam is the second largest religion here after Christianity."
"Uneasy relationship" is the sweet way of saying Switzerland has finally come to its basics before Allah's murderers swing sword.

Remington 870 Trap Shotgun from CarolinaKat from Remington 870 Forum:
Remington 870 Barrels
The two most common Remington 870 barrels are either the rifled barrel or the smoothbore. Rifled barrels are good for shooting sabot slugs like Premier Accutip Slug, Copper Solid Slug etc. These are the kind of barrels you would use if you are aiming to kill someone or something on a longer distance. Perhaps you want to looking to kill a big predator in the woods. These barrels help you have more stability and accuracy with your shots in order to do this kind of damage. If you are looking for a long range shotgun then rifled barrels would be your best option as well. As for smoothbore barrels, these are more suitable for rifled slugs, birdshot and buckshot. In other words, if you are looking to hunt small ducks or birds hen you would be better off using smoothbore.

Savannah is diving right in to BYU. She and her roommate were on their way to the Women's soccer game last night when they ran right into Cosmo! She was pretty excited about that little meeting! :)
It's been quite a week. Saying goodbye was every bit as hard as it was when Sam left last year. We're super excited for Savannah. She's been looking forward to this for a long time and she's already having amazing experiences after only a few days on campus. I knew she'd make a splash!
(I should probably stop now because I can feel the tears welling all over again.)
I'll post more about our week together in Provo when I have a longer minute. Go Cougs!

Solitary Eclectic Witchcraft, by Liz Pilley
The author is extremely well qualified to write this, having been the moderator for the world's largest witchraft site - The Children of Artemis - for three years and their agony aunt for a year. There is a great deal of interest in real information on witchcraft not based on Wicca and the information given here fits the bill well. This is a tool to make the reader think for themselves rather than a how-to book of Witchcraft. Vital basic topics covered include: Preparing yourself for witchcraft; the importance of finding your emotional balance and your true path with many ideas on how to do this and what this will mean for your life; Responsibility and Ethics; an exploration of different possible attitudes to deity and the sacred; iintroducing the ideas of immanence and transcendence within religious belief and different concepts of deity; what magic is and is not is defined, and how to create your own spells, with well thought out information of protection, magical tools, working magically with other people or groups and a discussion on safety relating to this is all covered. The importance of various natural cycles to your practice of magic is discussed, starting with your own stage of life such as age, occupation, emotional stage etc to your immediate environment of home, town, history and thirdly the cycles within nature as a whole. Finally the author underlines the importance of thinking for yourself, learning all you can and thinking critically, knowing yourself well and constantly re-assessing your beliefs in the light of new circumstances. Also emphasises being happy, confident and having fun with your magical practice! ISBN 186163 2533

Legrand Wiremold expands recall of power strips
Under-cabinet power strips recalled due to electric fire hazard
About 46,000 under-cabinet power strips are being recalled because of a fire hazard, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC said the internal electrical connections of the power strips are substandard, posing risks of overheating and fire.
This recall involves all Wiremold and Plugmold under-cabinet power and lighting strips with part number PX1001. The recalled power strips have four outlets and one fluorescent light and were manufactured from January 2011 through December 2013.
From January 2011 through June 2012, the power strip came in a red package with the words "Legrand" and "Under Cabinet Power and Lighting" on the top front and "Wiremold-Series Part PX1001" on the bottom front.
From July 2012 to April 2013, the power strip came in a white package with the word "Legrand" on the top front and "Plugmold Power Light," "Under-Cabinet Power and Lighting" and "PX1001" on the bottom front.
The manufacture date code is on the bottom of the recalled power strip in a circle with the year shown as "11," "12" or "13" in the center and an arrow pointing to the number representing the month. Part number PX1001, and UPC number 0 86698 00125 3, are imprinted on the bottom of the power strip.
There has been one report of an incident. No injuries were reported.
The power strips were sold at Ace Hardware, CED, City Electric, Cortland Wholesale, Crawford Electric, Do it Best, Hill Country Electric, Home Depot, Orgill, REXEL, Springfield Electric, Sutherland, TEC Electric, True Value Hardware and World Electric stores nationwide, and online at Amazon.com from February 2011 to April 2014 for about $40.
Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the power strips and return them to Legrand Wiremold for a full refund. Call Legrand Wiremold at 855-692-4620 for more information.

3-game losing streak knocks Michigan State Spartans out of AP Top 25 men's basketball poll
By JOHN MARSHALL
AP Basketball Writer
The NCAA initial rankings had little impact at the top of the AP Top 25, but a three-game losing streak knocked preseason No. 1 Michigan State out of the poll.
Baylor remained No. 1 in The Associated Press men's college basketball poll released Monday, two days after being the top overall seed in the NCAA Division I Basketball Committee's preliminary rankings. The Bears received 48 first-place votes from a 64-person media panel.
Gonzaga remained at No. 2 and received 15 first-place votes despite being the No. 3 overall seed behind Kansas in the NCAA rankings released Saturday.
The Jayhawks had one first-place vote and San Diego State, the lone remaining undefeated team in Division I, stayed at No. 4 after being slotted as the No. 1 seed in the East Region of the NCAA Tournament.
The biggest change: Preseason No. 1 Michigan State dropped out of the poll from No. 16, thanks to a three-game losing streak.
The Spartans have struggled with Joshua Langford out because of a foot injury and star Cassius Winston grieving after his brother was killed just before the season started.
Michigan State lost to rival Michigan on Saturday to become the first team since Kentucky in 2013-14 to drop out of the poll after being the preseason No. 1.
"We've been in every game but one," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "And yet, we get close like that, cut big leads … it's almost like we go brain dead then, and that's got to change."

Five day hikes to try in 2019
How about this for a new year's resolution? Walk at least one new trail in 2019. And if you make it one of these, then all the better.
1. Tre Cime di Laveredo /Drei Zinnen – Dolomites, Italy
Three giant towers reach skyward with imposing grandness. The grey and honey-coloured limestone contrasts against the vivid blue sky. Jagged Dolomite peaks surround you. This is Tre Cime di Laveredo – as striking in its abruptness as the sheer walls of Yosemite in California. These spires form the centrepiece of the Drei Zinnen/Tre Cime Nature Park. At almost 12,000 hectares there are plenty of walking paths to choose from, all of different grades and lengths. But for pure simplicity we're recommending the 10km trail that circumnavigates the towers. It's relatively easy, with just a few steep-ish climbs, and boasts views to die for. There are huts along the way, but they can get busy so we recommend taking your own picnic. And go in May or September when the trails are quieter.
Start: drive up to the carpark near Rifugio Auronzo and begin your walk, clockwise or counter-clockwise, from there.
Distance: 10km
time: 3 hours
Difficulty: easy
2. Dove Lake Circuit & Cradle Mountain – Tasmania, Australia
Tasmania's highest mountain looks like a stegosaurus's back and it appears as if out of nowhere. The surrounding landscape is mostly flat, grassy bog. The mountain itself has been battered by rough, salty winds from the Southern Ocean and is more like a pile of gigantic lose boulders than a coherent mountain. Together with surroundings of ancient lakes and unique flora and fauna, Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park feels otherworldly or like stepping back in time – well worth the effort of getting all the way there.
Start: Dove Lake Car Park (or Ronny Creek Car Park if there's no space – a shuttle bus runs between the two)
Route: Follow the well-trodden Overland Track from Dove Lake until you reach the summit path (by Kitchen Hut). Once you've summited, retrace your steps back to the fork then take the Hanson's Peak and Twisted Lakes route back to Dove Lake.
Distance: 13km
time: 7 hours
Difficulty: moderate
3. Lulworth Cove-St. Catherine's by-the-Sea – Jurassic Coast Walk, England
185 million years in the making, the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast in southern England is a stunning stretch of cliffs, coves, sea stacks, arches and headlands dotted with reminders of ancient history running 153km from Old Harry Rocks to Exmouth. The stretch from C-shaped Lulworth Cove past iconic Durdle Door and on to Burning Cliff at St. Catherine's is one of the most picturesque. We advise visiting in September to avoid the summer crowds and make the most of the still-bearable sea temperature for a refreshing dip in Lulworth Cove.
Start: begin at Lulworth Cove Visitor Centre Car Park, then walk to Lulworth Cove and follow the coastal path westwards towards St. Catherine's by-the-sea and back again.
Distance: 14km
Time: 3½ hours
Difficulty: easy
4. Mirador Las Torres – Torres del Paine, Patagonia, Chile
Like Tre Cime in its namesake national park, the highlight of the Torres del Paine National Park is three sky-scrapping stone towers. The difference, however, is not in size or scale; it's in pure exposure. Patagonia is battered by intense winds almost year-round, which adds a certain sense of drama (and challenge) to any walk here. The Mirador Las Torres walk offers full-frontal viewing of the cathedral-like towers but the way there is steep and rough under foot. It's well worth it though, particularly if you dare to venture there at dawn or dusk on a clear day – alpenglow can be outstanding here.
Start: begin at hotel Las Torres then follow the Mirador path to Laguna and Las Torres. The last part is very step, which is rather challenging on the way back if it's a bit wet. This is an out-and-back route.
Distance: 18km
Time: 7-8 hours
Difficulty: Challenging
5. Cascade Canyon Trail to Lake Solitude – Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA
Grand Teton National Park is appropriately named; with vast plains, shimmering mirror lakes and 4,000m peaks it is unquestionably grand. The walk through Cascade Canyon brings you face-to-face with the grandest of them all: Grand Teton. Fields of wildflower, forests of alpine trees and, of course, snow-topped peaks and abrupt rock faces offer a multi-faceted vista of nature at its best.
Start: at Jenny Lake Visitor Centre jump on the ferry for a short-cut to the top of the lake. Begin walking (steeply) from here, through the canyon and onto Lake Solitude. Then retrace your steps back to the ferry and the car park.
Distance: 23km (including boat trip)
Time: 7-8 hours
Difficulty: Moderate

This is an interesting interview with rocker Alice Cooper, where he talks about his Christian faith (believe it or not!). A few items of interest:
- Both his father and grandfather were in the ministry.
- He believes the Scriptures are literal, including the creation account and the Jonah story.
- He doesn't care for televangelists.
- He listens to R.C. Sproul!
He has also started a Christian foundation to help troubled kids. The video is worthwhile viewing, especially in revealing that you can't always judge a book by its cover or someone's present stance by looking at his past.

Melanotaenia herbertaxelrodi (Lake Tebera Rainbowfish)
As with nearly all Rainbowfish these fish almost never show their true colours in dealers tanks usually because they are juveniles. As you can see from the attached photographs this particular Rainbowfish does develop stunning colouration. Not often seen in the shops, but well worth seeking out.
Fish information (behaviour and breeding):
Generally peaceful and make good community fish.
Rainbowfish are very easy to maintain in aquarium conditions and most are fairly easy to breed. As with all fish you do need to maintain optimum water conditions. These fish will grow to around 9cm and if you do decide to use them for a breeding project you will need to keep around three males and two females which means the need for a good sized tank. If they are kept in a small aquarium the fish will become stressed and it will be impossible to achieve breeding success.
Sexing the fish can be a little difficult. Typically males are deeper bodied than the females and develop a higher forehead. The dorasal fins on the male are also longer.
Feed the fish on a good and varied diet for two to three weeks including live and high protein frozen foods which will help to maximise the number of eggs produced. If you have sufficient space it is a good idea to separate the males from the females whilst you condition them prior to breeding.
The male will choose a spawning site and will actively pursue the female prior to spawning. After spawning it is a good idea to remove both parents to prevent them from eating their own eggs.The eggs will hatch after around seven to ten days. Once the fry are free swimming they can be fed on the ususal fry foods.

|Grandpa from Arroyo Grande, CA (near San Luis Obispo) would recommend this to a friend.
A Little About Myself
I am a 91 year old grandfather who spends much of the day in a chair reading. When I have to get out of a chair for activities, such as washing, dressing, eating or going to appointments, it is difficult to rise from my present chair. The new lift chair makes life much easier for me, and for my wife who always has difficulty in getting me to get out of my chair. This way, she can just press the lift arrow and the chair dumps me out easily, and I have no excuse to still sit.
The color my wife chose is exactly the sample that was sent to her. It is a perfect color for our decor.
Service & Delivery
The delivery was made the day scheduled and, although the time was adjusted this morning to two hours later than originally scheduled by the delivery service, it was delivered just 5 minutes late. The two young men who delivered the chair and set it up were knowledgeable about the mechanism and set up, and brought it through three narrow spaces unscathed -- both the chair and the walls and doors. They just lifted the back up and off, and then reassembled it when the chair was in place. They plugged it into the wall, tested it to see if it worked, and inserted the two 9 volt batteries in the backup mechanism. I'd recommend your company, your chair, and your service.
We're very happy with our choice of a Golden Lift Space Saver chair.
