Luigi Mario is Mario's younger twin brother. He made his debut in the original Mario Bros. game as the second player. Since then, he, alongside his older brother Mario, have been considered the major mascots of Nintendo . He and Mario are Nintendo's most successful video game characters. He has also appeared in the Mario Kart series, the Super Smash Bros. series, and the Mario Party series. After Nintendo decided to move Luigi out of being nothing more than a palette swap to Mario since his first appearance, he has gained his own personality and lifestyle, earning him appearances in his very own games, Mario is Missing! and the widely popular Luigi's Mansion as the central character instead of Mario.
In Super Mario Bros. 2, it was learned that Luigi can actually jump higher than Mario. However, he's also slower and has worse traction. Some games including Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl supported the fact that Luigi is faster and can jump higher than Mario but his strength and power are slightly weaker.
While the brothers were initially considered heroes in the same level of fame, it wasn't too long until Mario started taking the spotlight and Luigi passing as a more secondary character. However, it was later learned that Luigi is not quite as brave as his brother, though still quite brave, but usually prefers Mario to do all the hard work.
It is also thought that Waluigi is Luigi's rival as Wario is to Mario. The reason for this is because Waluigi has an upside down L and Wario has upside down M. L stands for Luigi and M stands for Mario and as Mario and Wario are rivals it is only fair to say that Luigi and Waluigi are rivals too.
Luigi's first game was in Mario Bros., an arcade game that featured Mario, and his brother, which is Luigi. The game took place in underground pipes. In these pipes, bugs and other animals have gotten inside of them and Mario and Luigi have to get them out.After Mario Bros, Nintendo came out with Super Mario Bros., in this game, Luigi was almost identical to Mario, other than green overalls, though he could do everything that Mario could do, in exactly the same way. The sequel to Super Mario Bros., was the Japan only Super Mario Bros. 2, in this game, Luigi could jump much higher but couldn't run faster than Mario. Some levels were only beatable with Luigi.
In the sequel, Super Mario Bros. 3, Luigi was once again exactly the same as Mario, just with a few changes in color. The same happened with Super Mario World, though in Super Mario All-Stars, Luigi had a different sprite change.
After Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, Nintendo went on to create spin-offs such as Super Mario Kart staring Mario characters such as Luigi. In the games, he was usually equal in stats to Mario, but some times he was lighter. During the Nintendo 64 era, Luigi didn't star in any platforms, although he was in many spin-offs. This was quickly changed with the GameCube's launch when they forgot all about Mario and made Luigi the star of Luigi's Mansion for the new console. In the game, Luigi wins a new mansion in a contest he didn't even enter. Once he arrives, he finds out that Mario has been taken by King Boo and put into a painting. Now Luigi will have to use many new gadgets to go and save him. Luigi is a playable character in many more spin-offs such as Super Mario Strikers and its sequel, Mario Strikers Charged. Luigi is a supporting character in Super Mario Galaxy, but he can only help Mario after Mario saves him from a galaxy filled with Boos. After that, Luigi will get Power Stars Mario couldn't get, but he'll have to be rescued first, again. Once you collect 120 Stars, you'll be able to play as Luigi. Luigi is also a playable character in Mario Kart Wii.Luigi is one of the playable characters in New Super Mario Bros. Wii along with Mario and two Toads. In single player mode, Luigi appears after the player chooses to go into to Super Guide mode. With Super Guide, the computer will take Luigi through the stage, but the player can also take control of him (after the stage ends, the user will have to play as Mario).
Luigi is Mario's younger brother. With that said, it's obvious that they would look the same. Unlike Mario's red clothes, Luigi wears a green undershirt, and dark blue overalls. He is taller than Mario, and has a different style of mustache and sideburns. He also wears a green hat that has a L on it. For some reason, in many games Luigi is referred to as names like "the green guy".
- Mario - Mario is Luigi's older brother, and has usually been his partner since Mario Bros. on the arcade. They share a very close bond and relationship.
- Yoshi - Yoshi has helped Luigi multiple times such as in Super Mario World, and in Super Mario World 2 and has been seen to be very good friends with him.
- Peach - Luigi has helped save Peach in multiple games, the first being Super Mario Bros. He is very close friends with her.
- Daisy - Luigi and Daisy shared chemistry in Mario Superstar Baseball, and have been rumored to be a couple throughout many appearances. Although it's not really confirmed by Nintendo that they are a couple, this relationship seems to have been made true in Mario Kart Wii, as there are statues of Luigi, Daisy and their baby counter-parts dancing with one another on Daisy Circuit.
- Toad - Toad is seen as a friend to Luigi and provides him with assistance in games such as Luigi's Mansion and many others..
- King Boo - After his appearance in Luigi's Mansion, King Boo is one of Luigi's arch enemies.
- Bowser - Luigi has helped in defeating Bowser on a few occasions
- Bowser Jr. - In New Super Mario Bros. Luigi takes Mario's place and helps rescue Peach from Bowser Jr.
- Kamek - Kamek helps Bowser on many of his schemes
- Waluigi - It is thought that Waluigi is Luigi's main rival. The reason for this is because Waluigi has an upside down L, also Wario is Mario's enemy and Waluigi and Wario are brothers as Mario and Luigi are. Also in Waluigi's first appearance in Mario Tennis on the N64, it is hinted that he and Luigi have fought before.

Super Mario 64 hoax
For years people thought that Luigi was a playable character in Super Mario 64. Even though the game was already released and still no sign of Luigi, people still believed that he was in the game somewhere hidden away. It was once thought that the pedestal on the statue had something to do with unlocking Luigi, as some thought it said "L is Real 2041". It is currently known that the game does not include Luigi what so ever. However, some fans have went as far as to hack the game then change Mario's image into Luigi's, which also got fans to believe he was included once more.
Fans were pleased to find that Nintendo included him in the Super Mario 64 remake Super Mario 64 DS for the Nintendo DS, and as a playable character in Super Mario Galaxy after finding all 120 stars and defeating Bowser (with Mario) soon afterwards, as well as the sequel Super Mario Galaxy 2. Luigi was also included as a playable character in the Nintendo 3DS title, Super Mario 3D Land.

Do no evil should be "Do no Microsoft"
Think about this.
I am long enough in the tooth to remember MS's reputation in the eighties and nineties. Consider how bad (evil) Google has been to allow MS to do this?

Jude Law stars as a cross-dressing supermodel in Sally Potter's new film, Rage. And wouldn't you know it, he makes a pretty sexy woman. He's just the latest in a long line of actors, including Johnny Depp, Billy Crudup, and the occasional actor on The Tudors to wear a dress (and full hair and makeup) for their craft. Wondering how they do it convincingly? A while back, we interviewed Lisa Westcott, the makeup artist who transformed Billy Crudup for his role in Stage Beauty. "We had to bring Billy's wig over to disguise his jaw," she said. "He shaved extra closely, and we used thick makeup with a lot of pigment to cover the five-o'clock shadow." In other words, it takes a lot of work to get those men this hot.

CW Admin Old September 7, 2008 - 6:20pm
Thank you for John Wilkins's moving piece on suffering ("Hope Without Illusion," August 15). Suffering has always been a mystery to me. Indeed, it has been a difficult stumbling block—particularly the suffering of children. I used to beg God for an answer. Then one night at Eucharistic adoration, it dawned on me that there is "no 'Christian...

This morning while trying to make a call.. keep getting call failed message. Have not been able to make a call all day. Went to an A.T.&T. store that sells the iphone near my office. "CLUELESS" told me to call 1-800-myiphone. Only problem was I CAN NOT MAKE AN OUT GOING CALL that is why I am here. Gave me a phone from across the counter and made the call. On the phone for over 1 1/2 hours... between Apple Support and A.T.&T. each saying it was not their problem. I have had the iphone now for 3 weeks and until today glowing reviews from me... better than I expected. Made an appointment for 6 o'Clock this afternoon at the Genius Bar at the Apple store here in my home town. I have read some forums that people are 3 hours from the nearest Apple Store. All of the other functions work on the phone... I can receive calls.. text..e-mail..just can not make a call. If Apple has this problem where there is not a store near by could be a VERY BIG PROBLEM. Can not resolve by talking on phone for 1 1/2 hours basically doing the same thing each time a different person came on line. Very disappointed.. when I was disconnected just left the store and prayed that I would not have an emergency and could not make a call. Oh yes... I could text my wife and tell her I have had an accident or what ever !!

While in the A.T.&T. store today for 1 1/2 hours did that at least 6 times. When I returned to the office called the Apple Store and made an appointment for the genius bar for 6 o'clock. Genius worked on the phone for about an hour and could not fix the problem. Bottom line... put my SIM card into a brand new phone and I am a happy camper once again. I give credit to Apple for taking care of a loyal customer and they have my loyalty. While putting my old phone back into the just open new box, I ask him if they would recondition the phone or just use the parts for repair. His reply is what made my day..... oh no. We will send it to the engineers to investigate to see why this malfunction happen

Heritage High School — U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Donald Nachand, a quick thinker and military dog handler assigned to the 96th Security Forces Squadron, Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., won the U.S. Air Force Achievement Medal at a Jan. 31 ceremony in Las Vegas. Nachand, a 2005 graduate of Heritage High School, flew to Las Vegas for training and was waiting in the baggage claim area at McCarran International Airport when a traveling businessman had a seizure and collapsed nearby. Nachand and two colleagues ran up and found the man had no pulse. They repositioned him to make breathing easier and began performing chest compressions. "Everyone just took their spots. We all did it together," Nachand said. The man's pulse returned, but his breathing was rough; when he finally revived he started screaming and fighting. Nachand and his colleagues, plus two airport police officers, helped steady the man and calm his struggles while emergency medical technicians arrived and administered medicine. Days later, they heard that the man was doing OK — but might not have made it if it wasn't for the quick actions of Nachand and his colleagues.

Obtaining an Encore dental insurance plan is highly needed by any person since the cost associated with consulting a dentist is literally expensive. Avoiding the pain in the pocket while consulting a dentist is one of the primary reasons why obtaining a dental insurance plan and application of preventive care is important.
Types of Encore Dental Plan
There are two types of encore dental plan that you can obtain today. These plans are simply referred as Plan A and Plan B. Persons who applied and are accepted in Plan A are entitled to receive 100% coverage on all dental services that they need. These dental services include oral examinations, check –ups, fluoride treatment, cleanings, X-rays, and sealants. All members can also receive 50% coverage on anesthesia, fillings, and other services alike. The maximum amount of Encore dental insurance that beneficiaries will receive is $1000. Meanwhile, individuals who have applied in Plan B are entitled to receive 50% coverage on all primary services in Plan A. The maximum amount of benefits for coverage that they can get is $580.
Things to Consider in Acquiring Encore Dental Plan
Obtaining a dental insurance plan is a must as this can help you save from the cost of expensive dental services. However, there are things that you need to consider in picking an accurate dental plan for you. Mainly, the dentist network is an aspect that you should consider first. Choosing a dental plan with large dental network will allow you to choose not only the reputable dentist but also the on3es you are comfortable with. Also, the additional coverage is also essential as this will provide you with other cost effective insurance benefits. It is highly important to seek for add-ons and not be satisfied with your basic coverage. The waiting period is also an important aspect that you need to consider. An encore dental plan that offers coverage at the soonest time is the one that you need to choose.
Encore Dental Plan Cost
The final aspect that you should find is affordability. Since your primary concern is your budget, it is highly recommended that you choose low cost encore plans without sacrificing the coverage quality. By simply comparing different encore dental plans, you will be able to choose the best dental plan for you and your family. Cost effective encore dental plan usually include all primary coverage of dental services and cost associated in those services.
Encore dental plan is available for both adults and children. There are even dental plans that allow the beneficiaries to use their own dentists in claiming the insurance coverage. Beneficiaries do not need to obtain permission or referral in visiting any doctor anywhere in the country. This is because almost all Encore dental plans have wide dental network. Most dentist across the country guarantee pre-negotiated prices as they are linked to encore dental insurance plans providers. The best thing about Encore dental plan can be the ease and fast result of dental insurance application. You will not be turned down by any insurance companies when you apply for Encore dental insurance plan.

Just noticed that HeliPal have added some more parts for the 9958. They have the upper rotor head now and the TX as a separate item: http://www.helipal.com/spare-part_gr...arts_9958.html
Jul 18, 2011, 09:34 AM | |
I think it's hard to estimate spae stock you need. You can't predict how well a new heli will be received, and what breaks most. And I think the good reviews on sites like these have increased demand. I for one would never have ordered one without reading about it here, and I doubt I'm the only one.

Finally received my heli from Focalprice today, perfect (no customs).
But unfortunately it is also Mode 1 Nevertheless will try some test flights later or tomorrow. Heli looks quite cool, tail is angular, not roun (hoped on a round one to use the tail motor mounts for mCP x). No motor plugs, motors soldered to the rx... Anyway, no complaint for this price. Tried to bind it to my Spektrum DX6i, did not work (someone has already written this)... Walter |
Jul 18, 2011, 11:36 AM | |
BTW, I opened up the remote controller hoping for a hidden switch to flip from mode 1 to 2. Or vice versa.
I was curious because on the front of the remote, there are a couple of square "plugged" opening that suggest there might be something beneath it. On the remote from E-Flite, these location houses the switch to flip the modes. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything I could find or see that will allow the mode switch. It would be nice to be able to do so. |
Jul 18, 2011, 04:02 PM | |
Pfff - thought my tx is broken.
Then I read the manual, 6 batteries Tried to fly a battery mode 1 - no chance, guess about 10 crashes in 4 minutes But nothing broken (tail fin and landing gear fell off a few times). Probably will have to wait for the shipment of MyRcMart. Walter |
Jul 18, 2011, 06:08 PM | |
Tail fin is always falling off. My friend almost lost his when he crashed outside and it came off. Couldn't find it anywhere initially, until we spotted it in the dirt. I crazy glued the tail and the motor support recently and things have been fine since.
As for the landing gear. I just let it continue to fall off during hard crashes. |

Warning regarding FocalPrice: GW 9958
I'm a little PO about it and I don't know if its worth the time & shipping expense to try to fight FP for a RMA. I assumed it would be mode 2 base on their pic of the Tx but I should have asked before ordering. I'll purchase from MyRCMart from now on. Update: I sent a RMA request for all the good it will do. |
Jul 19, 2011, 04:53 AM | ||
Disassembled the TX yesterday to check, if it would be possible to change the sticks from mode 1 to 2. Wanted to change sticks (for throttle left) and then unsolder the rudder and aileron cables and solder it to the correct mode 2 position (where they are now - nick and throttle are changed compared to mode 2) But unfortunately this is not possible. Inside, everything is fixed, no possibility to unscrew and unsolder the stuff on the board. But no complain, it is extremely cheap stuff, so I cannot complain about this. Walter |

Personal carbon trading is rapidly moving up the political agenda as recognition grows of its potential to address urgent issues of climate change and natural resource use. Under personal carbon trading schemes a carbon allowance would be allocated to each individual, to be used and traded in the same way as in national and international carbon trading schemes. This volume presents the latest research on personal carbon trading at different scales - from the effects on the individual, communities and organisations, to its place in national, EU (including the EU ETS) and global policy landscapes. It presents key research on the economic and policy barriers and implications, and will be essential reading for anyone involved in emissions trading research or policymaking.

Expansive universe.
Tons of questing to do.
Lovely visuals.
Highly customizable characters.
Enough quests to keep you constantly busy.
Nicely varied and good looking world.
Solid, if mostly traditional game design.
Boring combat.
Awful story and dialogue.
Atrocious voice-overs.
Getting around can be a chore.
Main story is rather lackluster.

Book Description:One by one young readers meet the creatures that live in Drac's house--a bat, a werewolf, a monster, a mummy, a zombie, and other frightful monsters. They chase, wrestle, and roar until the doorbell rings and in walks a group of fearless trick-or-treaters who know exactly what to do. Clever, repetitive text--a playful adaptation of the popular nursery rhyme about the house that Jack built--and creepy paintings are sure to make this a spooky favorite for years to come. "The skillfully executed artwork adds a zesty dollop of suspense to a familiar storyline."--The Horn Book

The choice doesn't have to be sexy to be right, or register high on the name-recognition list to be perfect.
Good thing, that is, because the New Orleans Hornets' selection of Monty Williams as their new head coach doesn't soar on the sexiness or name recognition chart. What the pick does is, it places an emphasis on the ability of President Hugh Weber and General Manager Jeff Bower to skillfully evaluate a head coaching candidate and project how he's going to fit as a first-time head coach.
In short, they really, really need to be right on this one. Because mostly, Williams is an unknown.
Let's not pretend the one season he spent as a down-the-rung assistant in San Antonio under Gregg Popovich, and the five he spent in Portland as someone other than the Blazers' lead assistant under Nate McMillan, give us a clear picture of anything. Or that Williams and Tom Thibodeau, the Boston lead assistant who was offered and declined the Hornets job, were on equal footing for the position during any time of the process.
Thibodeau, by virtue of first being offered the job, clearly was first among the "equals." Thibodeau, who is the lead assistant for a team that's in the NBA Finals for the second time in three seasons, should have been first among the "equals."
What we can surmise is that the 38-year-old Williams, who becomes the youngest head coach in the NBA, absolutely should be thrilled to be a head coach. And that he's going to come cheap - which isn't a negative and doesn't necessarily mean the team went against its vow to spare no expense, but does appear to hint that economics may have played a part. And that he's more likely to be submissive, in terms of personnel moves and draft picks and money matters, than other candidates might have been.
Other than that, we're going to have to wait and see what the Hornets have and, frankly, we're not in much of a mood to wait and see.
The Hornets were a victory away from the Western Conference finals two years ago. They were in the NBA Lottery this year.
Obviously, one position is preferable to the other and the preference is to see the Hornets in the postseason instead of waiting to see where their ping pong ball lands. But since Williams doesn't have a track record of having led a team to the playoffs, it seems wise to exercise caution.
Yes, coaching greats such as Pat Riley, Phil Jackson and Popovich didn't have NBA head-coaching experience when they took over the Lakers, Bulls and Spurs, respectively. And a couple of years ago, the Bulls plucked Vinny Del Negro from the front office in Phoenix and made him head coach, firing him after two seasons in which the Bulls advanced to the playoffs. But those teams had better personnel than these Hornets.
Those teams had in-their-prime Hall of Fame players - plural.
That's not to say Williams can't become the next great, or that he won't hit the ground running and New Orleans won't respond to what he's saying (word is that point guard Chris Paul likes Williams and there are worse endorsements to have than that).
It's just to say that in the Hornets' field of candidates, they all had warts and some are more of an unknown than others. Williams, definitely, fits into the "more" list.
He wasn't the sexiest candidate and didn't register highest on the name recognition list. That's OK for today.
Weber and Bower just need to hope Williams is a household name, because the Hornets are winning and playoff bound, next April.

Article Free Passkilim, pileless floor covering handwoven in most places where pile rugs are made. The term is applied both generally and specifically, with the former use referring to virtually any ruglike fabric that does not have pile. When used specifically the term refers to a more limited number of techniques, including slit tapestry, warp sharing, and various forms of interlocking tapestry weave. The first is most common in Turkey, where the kilims are often woven on narrow looms, and two mirror-image pieces are sewn together along the long edge to produce the completed kilim. The vertical colour junctions involve a discontinuity of the wefts, the coloured yarns that produce the design. At these boundaries there are small slits in the fabric. A double interlocking type of kilim is common among the Uzbeks of Afghanistan but occurs in only a few parts of Iran. Warp sharing, in which vertical slits are avoided by having yarn of adjacent color areas share the same warp, is also common in both of these areas.
Extremely fine kilims of silk were woven for the Ṣafavid court (1502–1735), possibly in Kāshān, and fine kilims were made during the late 19th century in Senneh. Kilims have also been woven in parts of the Balkans, with those from areas closest to Turkey showing features similar to Turkish kilims.

MORGANTOWN - Dana Holgorsen's final postgame press conference of 2013 Saturday night seemed equal parts postmortem and prelude.
And why not? After one of the most anguishing seasons in West Virginia football history, the next one can't come soon enough.
The Mountaineers stayed true to form in Saturday's finale against Iowa State, perhaps proving once and for all that the quality of the opposition didn't really matter this season. Be it one of the Big 12's power brokers (Oklahoma, Texas) or also-rans (Kansas, Iowa State), West Virginia more often than not found a way to come up short.
This time it was losing leads of 31-7 in the first half and 38-21 in the final 10 minutes. A 52-44, three-overtime loss to Iowa State was the third time in the final four games the Mountaineers went to overtime.
It was also the sixth time in the last six games West Virginia lost a second-half lead and the fifth time it cost them a game.
First, the postmortem:
"We've talked about finishing all year long,'' Holgorsen said. "And obviously that's something that's going to be addressed in the offseason when it comes to issues we've had this year not being able to close games.
"Why can't you close games? Obviously it comes down to execution. It's a burning desire to win, a collection of guys that don't want to let each other down, coaches and players. Obviously we're not at that point right now.''
But then there was the prelude. After the way West Virginia's season ended - a 4-8 record, 2-7 in Big 12 play, the first losing season since 2001 and the absence of a bowl game for the first time since that same season - 2014 can't begin soon enough.
"Besides thanking the seniors, the other thing we talked about [with the players after the loss] was that 2014 starts tomorrow,'' Holgorsen said. "We'll be out on the road recruiting and, obviously, recruiting is something that needs to improve. And then just getting the returning guys to buy into what we're doing.''
What, though, will 2014 bring? Holgorsen's first WVU team finished 10-3 and won the Orange Bowl in record fashion. His second started the season 5-0, making his 18-game mark 15-3. Since then, though, the Mountaineers have gone just 6-14, finishing 7-6 in 2012 and now 4-8. The decline has been precipitous and obvious.
Yet Holgorsen insists that this is not the time to chart a new course. Instead he will drive forward with essentially the same plan, one that he obviously feels won't pay dividends until it is completed.
