I had a similar bad experience. There are lots of unhappy patients, complaining about the same issues. I wished I had seen these reviews before going to him. Has anyone filed a complaint with the medical Board of CA or taken legal action against this doctor?

Dr. Aronowitz was recruited by my ocular plastic surgeon to add stem cell fat grafts. Dr. Aronowitz did not perform most of the procedures he was paid for. The few he did were done incompletely and carelessly, such as my ear. His O.R. Report even misstated the ear deformity. The only time he spends time with the patient is with the "sell." His pre-op consisted of explaining the procedure, not careful examination, & post-ops are rushed to "4 minute" hurry-ups so he can squeeze in more surgeries. He would not release the Operating Room Report until 3 months later, following my lawyer's call. The O.R. Report tried to shift blame for his non-performance on my mental state -- all easily disprovable lies and irrelevant! He even claimed he had talked to my psychiatrist, who had never heard of him, nor talked to him. This dr. not only doesn't care for his patients, he takes no responsibility for his actions and lies to cover up his lack of care and non-performance of procedures.

I booked a breast aug with Dr. Aronowitz to fix a tubular deformity. The day after the surgery, I noticed that one breast was significantly larger than the other (one B cup and D cup). I called the office, and was told Dr. Aronowitz had left for vacation. When he returned a week later, he said one breast was only swollen, and that I should get massage sessions from a woman in his office to make the swelling go down. The massages were $225/session! After realizing the massages weren't helping, he agreed to do a revision. I was already $11,000 down, so I asked about the cost of revision surgery. I was told that Dr. Aronowitz would waive his fee, but I would pay "a maximum of a few hundred dollars for the anesthesia and surgery room costs." I got the revision surgery. I then got a first bill for $2,000, and a second bill for $3,000. I was told that I would have to pay, or they would submit to collections. If you choose Aronowitz, watch your wallet.

Opration to lift breasts after implants removed. After operation, I looked no different than before operation. I paid for a second operation. In this second operation, he did what we agreed upon to the right breast, but not to left breast. He took out a very large amount of tissue, even though we agreed not to have tissue removed. After operation I had a serious infection with high fever in the left breast, the one he gutted. It was swollen to immense proportions, and red and hot. Due to the extent that he deformed left breast, I went through three additional operations to correct deformity Since he removed huge amount of tissue from left breast, it is smaller and deformed. I am so unhappy with myself, and have been depressed ever since. I have no idea what he was thinking when he did this. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone.

15 years ago Dr Aronowitz performed a face & neck lift, upper & lower eyelids & tummy tuck. I was 49, looking tired & worn out & the "apron" on my abdomin was very unattractive. Dr. Aronowitz was the first plastic surgeon I'd met who would do work on an obese patient. Since I was chronically obese, he assured me that my weight wasn't an issue & that he wouldn't charge me any extra fee even though it was extra work for him & gave me a great overall price which allowed me to have all of this work done. He is warm & attentive, highly skilled, truly caring & made me feel very comfortable, as did his staff. I would recommend him with an A+++++ rating. I'm considering arm reduction surgery, tightening up the neck (it's drooping slightly, although most people think I'm 8-10 years younger than I am) & an eyebrow lift since I have a weak muscle on the left side & the brow droops. I can't say enough about Dr Aronowitz, he's a spectacular doctor & human being. I never had an very long wait at all

Vikings notebook: Scripting plays in the NFL
[size=13pt]In The Script[/size]
October 5, 2006
Author: Mike Wobschall, vikings.com
You've heard announcers reference it, seen players execute it and wondered what it's all about. Scripting plays - a common practice in the NFL... So what goes into this intriguing concept?
"The only thing that I'll say about a script is you do that in the quiet of your office," Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress said. "That's kind of why you do it. Now, shoot, I could sit and script 15, and then 15 more and then 15 more and then 15 more. Then you have to see how the game is getting played and how it changes. They're all good thoughts when you're sitting in there on a Friday night or Saturday and you're putting this motion in this play, but you have to see in fact what it is you can do as the game goes on and how does the game change."
The idea certainly isn't a new one. Coach Childress knows Bill Walsh employed it and he even acknowledges it may have gone on before that.
"Somebody may well have done it, for all I know Sid Gillman did it," coach Childress joked.
Regardless of where it came from or when it started, it remains a successful tactic in today's game.
"In the good games and the games where you're rolling, you go right through the 15, and then you go right back to 'let's run number two again'," coach Childress commented. "Let's run five, let's run seven, back to three, let's see three again. That's usually when you establish that; they're all good."
In the end, scripting plays falls under the broader category of play-calling. All-Star players, perfect execution and a timely touchdown are great things, but they are all rendered useless or impossible without the proper play-call.
Just how important is play-calling? Detroit Lions Head Coach Rod Marinelli puts it right up there with another element that is essential to successful football.
"I think it's just as important as execution," Marinelli says. "You can have a great play called, and if you don't execute, you don't have a great play called."
Coach Childress agrees.
"I think it ultimately ends up being important, putting your guys in the position to be able to make those plays," the coaching veteran of 29 years said. "They're (players) doing what you tell them they're doing. The quarterback has some flexibility at the line of scrimmage, but obviously you're attacking the defense the way you think it needs to be attacked."
The flexibility to which coach Childress refers is defined by audibles and check plays. If, at the line of scrimmage, the quarterback feels the called play will be fruitless, he may change the play or adjust it with an audible or check.
"We have a lot of different check-with-me kind of systems, check-with-me plays," Vikings quarterback Brad Johnson said. "It all depends on fronts, depends on linebacker play, depends on coverage on how we check. We probably have anywhere from ten to 20 plays we check...depending on the situation, and that's excluding two-minute drills.
"Play-calling is extremely important. From how we install it, to how we practice, to just a gut feeling during the course of a game. From how he wants the play ran, it's very important and just the flow of the game."
Ultimately, play-calling is largely contingent upon the flow of the game - but not always. Sometimes, it's just in the script.
Working to get back
Regardless of how long the injury report may be from week-to-week, coach Childress isn't concerned about it affecting his team too much. On Wednesday, six players were listed, including both safety Darren Sharper and corner back Antoine Winfield.
The culture of accountability created at Winter Park reaches beyond the playing field and practice field, all the way to the training room. In his press conference yesterday, coach Childress mentioned that each injured player works hard to recover because they don't want to let their teammates down.
"I understand it's a long season and you can't put anybody out there if they can't defend themselves, so that's always the first thing," coach Childress said. "By the same token, those guys work to get back. It's what they do, and they want to play and they work hard to rehab to get out onto the football field. So there's great peer pressure in the locker room to get yourself there so you're not letting down that unit."
Night and day
Day: against the defending NFC champion Seattle Seahawks in Week1, the Lions gave up just nine points and zero touchdowns. Night: in Weeks 2-4, the Lions gave up an average of 35.3 points per contest, leading them to a 0-4 record heading to the Metrodome to take on the Vikings. How could a defensive unit that was so impressive in Week 1 play so poorly in Weeks 2-4?
"Basically, that first game we seemed to play with more fire, and also we eliminated the big plays," Lions defensive back Dre Bly said. "That's one of the reasons we didn't give up many points against the Seahawks, because we eliminated big plays. If you eliminate the big plays, you have a chance to win every week and that's the one thing we haven't done since Seattle."
Typically, the big plays that Bly speaks of occur in the passing game. This is certainly the case with Detroit. Currently, the Lions have the league's tenth best rushing defense, allowing just 86.5 yards per game. No rusher has gained more than 81 yards against Detroit, including reigning MVP Shaun Alexander, who was held to only 51 yards gained.
As good as the Lions are against the run, they are not so against the pass. Teams are racking up 282 yards per game through the air against the Lions, third worst in the league.
Bly, an eight-year NFL veteran, acknowledges that teams may have spotted a weakness in the Lions defense. But he also knows his unit is capable of fixing the leak.
"I really feel like teams really feel like they can throw the football on us, so as a defensive backfield we have to have better eyes and better recognition and stop the big plays," Bly said. "If we stop the big plays and force teams to play another down, we're pretty good. We did that against Seattle, didn't give up the big play and forced (Matt) Hasselbeck to throw checkdowns and forced Shaun (Alexander) to try to run the football. That's when we are at our best, when we do that, so our defense is allowed to fly around and put a hat on the ball."
Lions Head Coach Rod Marinelli is on a mission to solve the defensive riddle as well. Both he and Bly are confident things will turn around.
"It's just off here, off there," Marinelli said, "just a little thing off and we just need to work on getting those things corrected."
Getting hotter
From 2002-05, the Lions committed at least the first round of each draft to improving the offense. Quarterback Joey Harrington was selected in '02, receivers Charles Rogers, Roy Williams and Mike Williams were taken in '03-'05 and running back Kevin Jones was also selected in '04. Until this season, the offense did not come to fruition.
The acquisition of quarterback Jon Kitna this offseason may be what the Lions needed. Kitna began his NFL career in Seattle, where he led the team to an AFC West title in 1999. Then, he joined the Bengals in 2001 and earned AP Comeback Player of the Year honors for his performance in 2003. Currently, Kinta ranks first in the league in completions (98), second in attempts (150) and third in passing yards (1,081) and he's led the Lions to 58 points over the last two weeks.
Also, let us not forgot who is coordinating the offense in Detroit. Former Rams offensive coordinator and head coach Mike Martz is devising schemes in the Motor City, a likely reason for the offense's resurrection this season.
"When Mike came here, that's what I was expecting," said Bly, who was with Martz in St. Louis for four seasons. "We have big-play capability guys on our team and I know Mike. He likes to have an explosive offense."
Detroit's offensive turnaround, from previous years to this year and from earlier this season to now, has been noticed around the league. Coach Childress credits an offensive balance as the catalyst in the improved play
"I think you saw a blend," coach Childress said. "They had a good mix, and a good mix of plays and guys were making plays. They've got obviously a substantial group of wide receivers. I saw both. I saw them improve run game-wise. I think that helped the pass probably."
Over the past two games, the Lions have gained 198 yards on the ground, opening up the passing attack for Kitna and his receivers. The substantial group of wide receivers to which coach Childress was referring is led by Roy Williams. The former Texas Longhorn standout has posted 16 receptions for 277 yards and one touchdown over the past two contests. But Williams' success over the past two games doesn't make Vikings linebacker Dontarrious Thomas anymore concerned.
"Roy's a great athlete and a great player," Thomas said. "Some days it all works out for a player and some days it doesn't. We're just going to prepare for him like we would for any other great player and try to find things to take him off his game."
Breast cancer awareness
Before this weekend's game against the Detroit Lions, volunteers from Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity will be handing out thousands of Pink Ribbons to Vikings Fans to recognize National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Awareness and early detection are the "best defense" to tackling and beating Breast Cancer. Look for the ZTA pink ribbons at all the gates around the stadium. Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway will partner with ZTA to help increase awareness all season.

Top-notch offensive linemen simply don't stand out as much as top-notch skill position players, which is the only explanation for why Willie Roaf is not already enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Roaf is a member of two NFL All-Decade teams, made 11 Pro Bowls and was a six-time All-Pro selection, but did not make it as a first ballot Hall of Famer in 2011, his first year of eligibility. His short wait is now over, and Roaf will finally be a Hall of Famer in 2012.

LOWELL — UMass Lowell's student team placed sixth this weekend at the national concrete canoe competition, finishing near the top among counterparts from institutions across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
The three-day competition — presented by the American Society of Civil Engineers and hosted by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign — asked student teams to design, build and race canoes made entirely of concrete.
UMass Lowell was the only university from New England and one of only two from the Northeast in the competition in which 23 teams were entered.
Ecole de technologie superieure, an engineering school in the University of Quebec system, took first place.
The 20-person UMass Lowell team competed with the canoe the students named "Moswetuset," a Native American word meaning "shaped like an arrowhead" and the origin of the name "Massachusetts." The watercraft measures 19 feet 8 inches long, 26 inches across at its widest point and 13 inches deep. Weighing in at 132 pounds, it was molded from a lightweight concrete and reinforced with fiberglass mesh.
In addition to judging on design, construction and their presentation, the student teams also competed on the water, racing in a variety of events from endurance to slalom. Three races had to be canceled because of weather conditions. And before racing, the canoes had to pass a "swamp test," during which each was submerged and had to resurface on its own.
"The whole team is very enthusiastic about next year. Ideas are already flying and we will be starting to lay out those ideas in a few weeks," said Jonathan Ernst of Billerica, the civil engineering major who is the team's project manager.
In addition to Ernst, student team members and their hometowns are: David Nader, Andover; Maureen Kelly, Ashburnham; Allan Bassett, Barre; Allan Bassett; Julie Eaton, Cambridge; Jonathan Nadeau, Dracut; Zachary Greene, Haverhill; Jeffrey Bruso, North Grafton; Luis Aguilar and Lora Sitha, Lowell; Brendan Sprague and Michael Sprague, Methuen; Cassandra Piorkowski, Millis; Justin Wilson, Milton; Jesse Merchant, Peabody; Joseph Benoit, Quincy; Mark Procopio, Saugus; Natalie Melkonian, Wilmington; Pat Raistrick, Woburn and Aikaterini Dimitrio, Pelham, N.H.

About 2.4 million pounds per second.
No, this is not the currency in England. No, it is not the weight of water flowing over Niagara Falls.
This number is the weight of carbon dioxide we were putting into the atmosphere every second in 2011, primarily from the combustion of fossils fuels and land-use changes. Other smaller amounts may come from deep sea vents, volcanoes and other natural events, but most of this amount comes from "us."
This number is calculated from the amount of fossil fuels we burn on an annual basis. In 2011, the amount of carbon dioxide we pumped into the air was equal to 38.2 billion tons, which is a 3 percent gain over 2010. In 2012, emissions are expected to be 2.6 percent over 2011, based on data reported in Nature Climate Change, December 2012.
The diagram "Where humanity's CO2 comes from," published originally in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides an accounting of this gas and reflects scientists' best understanding of the dynamics of these processes. The top portion shows that about 91 percent of this gas comes from burning fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement (more on that another time), and about 9 percent from land-use changes. The latter includes the loss of tropical rain forests in South America, Africa, Indonesia and elsewhere.
The bottom portion of this diagram indicates that about 50 percent of this gas stays in the atmosphere, about 26 percent goes back into the land (mostly as biomass) and about 24 percent is absorbed into the oceans.
When we talk about the atmosphere, we can see that this is a very thin layer around our planet like the skin on an apple, or, like the membrane one encounters when slicing onions. The sunrise photo was taken from the International Space Station on July 30 and shows the atmosphere as the thin veil over the planets' surface. About 90 percent of the atmosphere is within 10 miles of Earth's surface, and a lot of "stuff" goes on in this narrow layer: all of our weather and climate is impacted here.

Eagles Shutout Miami to Remain Undefeated in Spring Season
FORT MYERS, Fla. – This weekend was a success for the FGCU women's soccer team, on the field and in the community. The second annual spring event started with nearly 250 girls participating in a clinic at 4:00pm, and a game at 6:00pm. The collaboration of FGCU and Miami players created an exciting learning environment.
"We appreciate Miami coming down and being involved with this great opportunity to reach out to our community and promote women's soccer," said FGCU head coach Jim Blankenship. "They added a great deal to the experience for each young player in attendance. I'm very proud of our kids for taking the time to reach out in the community with nightly clinics for the past two weeks; they are great role models for women's soccer and our FGCU program."
The game between the Eagles and Hurricanes started at 6:00pm with a crowd of over 1,100 in attendance. Miami brought the energy in the first ten minutes of the game and had the Eagles on their heels. Goalkeeper Stephanie Powers (Seffner, Fla.) made a couple key saves early as FGCU weathered the storm and fought their way back into the game. Brianna McCall (Fort Myers, Fla.) came close to putting the Eagles on the board 20 minutes into the game, when she was one-on-one with Miami's keeper. Five minutes later, freshman Julia Martin (Bayport, N.Y.) gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead as she rebounded her own shot and beat the last defender to put the ball in the back of the net. The Eagles would remain strong and took a 1-0 lead into the locker room at the half.
FGCU continued to bring intensity into the start of the second half, by taking some early shots. A great shot from Katie Donnellan (Lake Mary, Fla.), who received a great through ball from Brittany Burt (St. Petersburg, Fla.), down the left side of the field, almost gave the Blue and Green a 2-0 lead. The Eagles would pick up the game's second and final goal late in the second half, as Kathleen Hunter (Safety Harbor, Fla.) hit a nice through ball, where Lindsay Haw (Palm City, Fla.) battled to flick the ball in over the keepers head.
"We started out slow but found a way to pick up the energy," said Blankenship. "It was great to see everyone come into the game and make a difference. The girls have been working hard this spring and the results are proof of those efforts. We hope to finish out our spring season (April 10) with another victory."

Student Service Recognition
Because the College of Law is proud of our students' commitment to pro bono and community service work, we have created a special recognition program. In order for a student to receive special recognition at graduation, a student must be in good academic standing and have completed at least *50 hours of volunteer work. 80% of the hours completed must be law related pro bono work. 20% of the hours can be traditional community service (such as volunteering at homeless shelters, soup kitchens, tutoring, home building projects, etc.). There are two categories of Pro Bono and Community Service Recognition Awards.
- Students who complete the minimum 50 hours will receive a certificate from the Dean and special recognition at Commencement.
- Students who complete 75+ hours will receive a Blue Pro Bono and Community Service Honor Cord.
- Students who complete 100+ hours will receive an Orange Pro Bono and Community Service Honor Cord.
The top three graduating students providing the most pro bono and community service hours will be individually recognized.
The Special Recognition Awards will be given out in connection with the end of year graduation and convocation exercise, and will be noted in the graduation materials. In addition, students will be permitted to wear a special signifier at graduation, as provided by the College. Students are able to record Community Service/Pro Bono hours using the online form.
* For the Class of 2013 & 2014, the minimum of 30 hours remain the same as do the recognition categories for graduation. However, all hours must be reported by the end of the semester that they were performed and by March 25th of your graduating year. Please refer to your Student Handbook.

- Publisher: Nintendo
- Release Date: Dec 7, 2009
- Summary: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks sets hero Link on a daring new adventure. The game provides players with a new story, more puzzles and even a new mode of transportation. In this game, Link voyages by train, which offers up new possibilities for problem-solving. The game has the same look and feel established in Phantom Hourglass. Link has a valuable new companion. While navigating dungeons, he's accompanied by a Phantom, a hulking suit of armor that responds to his commands. Players can tap the Phantom to take command of him, then draw a line on the touch screen to direct him where to go. The stout Phantom can walk through fire or lava, be used as a platform to carry Link above dangers, or even run interference to block Link from harm. When Link conducts the train, players enjoy a satisfying combination of action and real-time puzzle solving as they determine which track to take and how to best manipulate their speed. When on the train, Link must plot the best route to the end of the line around ever-moving obstacles. While en route, Link might need to fire an onboard cannon at enemies who attack the train or sound the whistle to scare animals off the tracks. Link uses a variety of new items and weapons, including the Whirlwind, which players activate by blowing into the microphone of the Nintendo DS system. As with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, players can draw notes on the in-game maps using the stylus on the touch screen. [Nintendo]… Expand

Zelda fans are going to love this - but the multiplayer mode is a little bit boring.
The bold lines, simple colours and innocent aesthetic emphasises the idealism of the Zelda series at its finest: this tiny, wide-eyed boy can conquer unimaginable evil, and his stoic determination can achieve more than even omnipotent deities could manage. These games might be perfect for children, but they're as fine an example of gaming as any adult could hope to encounter.
A fun time and very well executed game. If you're looking for something to play on the road while on vacation, or hiding away from society in a bomb shelter until Christmas blows over, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks makes as good a companion as a Ghost Princess.
A perfectly solid representation of Zelda. The puzzles are not easy, despite the cartoon appearance of the main character, the characters are interesting, the controls work well, and the story is adequate.
Don't let some minor quibbles prevent you from playing this very enjoyable chapter of the Zelda series as Nintendo effectively brings together several gameplay ideas together to form a great game overall.
In summation, it looks great, the music is wonderful and no matter how frustrated the player gets with any one puzzle, it's an enjoyable enough experience that they won't want to stop until they've finished it.
Your 15th trip through the barren Hyrule countryside sums up not just dodging trains in Spirit Tracks, but basically the entirety of Spirit Tracks.

Oct 21, 2012I hated Phantom Hourglass. The over world sucked, the music was bland, the puzzles were insultingly easy, and the plot was an excuse. So why does this game get a perfect ten from me? Because it did just about everything right. Admittedly the over world wasn't as good as in the 3D Zelda games, but it's still a vast improvement. The music offers some of the best tracks in the entire franchise, such as the Sacred Duet and the Overworld theme. The puzzles were easily the best out of any Zelda game, making it a bit more of a puzzle game than an action-adventure title. Finally, the plot was probably the best in the series, involving many great characters with a lot of life to them(Especially Zelda and Byrne). This game is different than other Zelda games, but as we established with Majora's Mask and Skyward Sword, different doesn't mean bad.… Expand
Nov 5, 2011Spirit Tracks does everything Phantom Hourglass did and more. Although the same basic formula of a central dungeon with stealth that must be revisited, many things have changed. The most iconic feature of Spirit Tracks is the Train, you use this to travel the realms in order to reach destinations such as temples and towns. This is quite similar to the boat, you have a cannon, you can customise each part of the train etc. However, there are many improvements from the boat, although the tracks are pre-made, there are many routes you can take, this makes drawing your path less awkward and enables your route to be changed easier once you have already started moving; it also allows for more challenging gameplay as you must dodge the Phantom Trains on the track (which feels slightly similar to Pacman). As well as this, your movement is more advanced, you have the ability to control the speed of the train allowing more strategic movement than Phantom Hourglass's boats allows. Personally, I preferred the train a lot more than the boat and the music complementing how fast your train is going really made the train rides fun and engaging. The train journeys can get repetitive, but the more you progress through the game, the more warp points you'll unlock and the more tracks you'll recover, meaning getting from one place to another gets quicker and quicker with every quest you complete.
The next new feature is the Spirit Flute, fans of musical instruments that almost always appear in Zelda titles will be a fan of this. It works the same as the Ocarina, only it combines touch screen and blowing to play it. There are many songs, each with different effects, which will come as familiar to anyone who has played Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask or Wind Waker. The touch and blow combo can make some of the songs a little challenging, especially the sequences where you have to blow with precise timing, which can be very frustrating. Apart from that, the flute is as worthy an instrument as the Ocarina.
The central dungeon this time is very similar to the Temple of the Ocean King; there are phantoms patrolling the area which you must sneak by, whilst solving puzzles. However, there are many changes; the time limit is removed, this makes it easier in some sense, but allows the puzzles to become more complex (which nearer the end become very challenging). You no longer have to repeat floors which you have already done multiple times, in Phantom Hourglass the temple became annoying as you could only start on the 1st floor or the 4th, which made the dungeon quite repetitive, Spirit Tracks fixes this. The main unique feature of the Spirit Tower is that Zelda is able to possess a Phantom after they have been struck by Link's tear-infused sword. This allows many unique abilities, such as a Phantom which feels very similar to playing as a Goron in Majora's Mask, and a Phantom which can teleport to seekers. This feature also allows puzzles to become more complex, more unique and makes the tower feel a lot different to the Temple of the Ocean king. In dungeons, there are many new tools and mechanics to go alongside these. Some very unique tools that have never been in Zelda games before, as well as some of the most epic and most fun bosses in the series. There are also tons of extras, loads of mini-games, such as the rabbit rescue which keeps the train journeys more enjoyable as you'll be searching for rabbits whilst you travel to your next destination. Many side-quests which use the trains mechanics, such as transporting resources from one location to another, making sure you aren't attacked or your train doesn't turn too fast and lose some of the cargo. As well as many classic mini-games such as target shooting and agility-based races which take place on foot.
The soundtrack is also one of the best in the series, from the wonderful overworld theme which changes slightly based on the speed of the train, to the epicness of the final boss theme. It really does sound beautiful.
In conclusion, there are many features which feel similar to Phantom Hourglass, and a few issues such as some frustrating flute playing and train journeys which might become boring (although they didn't for me). But there is a lot of fun to be had with this game and many aspects of the game have improved from Phantom Hourglass, as well as this there are tons of new unique features such as Zelda's ability to possess Phantoms. Spirit Tracks has changed enough and added new unique features to feel fresh and exciting, it isn't perfect, but it's certainly worthy of a place in the Zelda series.
9.5/10 (rounded up to 10 for Metacritic)… Expand
Apr 12, 2012The game play improved, the story is decent, but the temples are too short, and when the game is too easy, it is really easy, but when it is hard, it's extremely hard, some puzzles don't give you a clue to solve, so you will get stressed, but I must admit that it's funny and very cute. You only need some patience to finish it. Not the best Zelda's game.… Expand
Sep 2, 2013Spirit Tracks is the standard zelda- dungeon structure, items, bosses, puzzles. Though it doesn't innovate as much as it should, it's a solid adventure.
Link must, as usual, take on some terrible evil, rescue someone, and save the land of Hyrule. To do this, he must traverse dungeons, fight enemies, solve puzzles, and explore Hyrule. This is the ordinary zelda we have known for years.
I won't talk about the structure of a zelda game, or any of that, because you know it already. Instead, the differences.
The graphics are good but not great- scenery is especially flat, but dungeons look good. The music is often great, woth a lovely overworld theme, though I wasn't keen on the dungeon music.
Spirit Tracks has an unusual control scheme ehich using the stylus for everything, like Phantom Hourglass. While this sounds cumbersome, in reality it opens up new possibilities. It's used in a variety of clever ways, from drawing a path for you to throw the boomerang to control where Link (or Zelda) goes. And Spirit Tracks deserves an award for being the first ever game to make blowing into a microphone fun. One item, the whirlwind, which you obtain early in the storyline, lets you create a gust of wind. You do this by blowing.
Another innovation is one I didn't enjoy: the train driving. Link has explored before by horse, by boat, on foot, by bird... but now he commands a train. The touch screen is used well for this, but when on the rails, there is little to do, and in the end you're just sitting there waiting for the train to reach its destination. There are other features brought in to try to make it more interesting, like enemies, but all you do to kill them is to shoot with cannons, an incredibly boring experience. Worse, if they hit you enough, you'll die, forcing you to make the entire journey again.
Thankfully for Spirit Tracks, there are very many stations and places, so when advancing through the storyline, you'll rarely be driving for a very long time in one go. There are many fiendish overworld puzzles, which are excellently presented. Sometimes I however found myself hating those tedious fetch quests.
Spirit Tracks also has a 'tower of spirits', which plays a vital part in the storyline. You'll progress through it in between dungeons, but it's like a giant dungeon, with multiple sections, in itself. I found it a little uninspired despite introducing an interesting new mechanic.
Spirit tracks' dungeon gameplay is thankfully as good as ever- puzzles are inventive and challenging, and you'll find a surprisingly high amount of mini-bosses, something which I love. The dungeon bosses are very cleverly constructed too. And don't be put off by the fact there are only five dungeons, as Spirit Tracks has a lot more content in between each dungeon than other zeldas, resulting in 30-40 hour experience. There are also plenty of side quests to complete, which could add on over twenty extra hours, too.
Spirit Tracks is a Zelda game, through and through. While this means it plays it a little too safe, it also means you're guaranteed a great time. There's even a multiplayer battle mode that sees you fighting to collect more gems than your opponents. It's crazy, and, surprisingly, hilarious fun with plenty of traps you can activate to bring down your opponent. Expect a lot of fun from that feature.… Expand
Jan 20, 2012A nice game, with controls and visuals that suit the DS well. The boring part about it though is that is too easy, suppose its target audience is kids around 7-8 years old, because nearly every puzzle has an obvious solution. Also, the story is a joke (unless you are about 7-8 years old or younger...).… Expand
Aug 30, 2012I have no clue whatsoever why everyone seems to not hate this game, never mind actually LIKE it. It just about makes it to 'playable', but you will NOT enjoy playing it. The controls are annoying (Couldn't they have just made it possible to use the D-Pad?), paticularly when you have to blow on the microphone. It provides limited levels of entertainment for a few hours. Then it suffers from the same affliction to plague the whole Zelda series. Bottlenecks. You're in a dungeon. It's mildly enjoyable despite the fact you're fumbling a bit with the awkward control scheme. Then you come to a room full of random objects. It gives you no clue as to how to proceed. You know that due to the way the series works if you do some random sequence of things the door will open. That's it. It gives you no clue as to what this sequence of things might be. If you can figure it out by pure chance then you have some awkward combat. Repeat ad infnitum. I hate this game.… Expand

A large bait well within the helm leaning post will hold dozens of livies with no problem. But trolling these baits will require bumping the engine in and out of gear, because even when running just one engine, you'd be moving too fast. I'd also like to see a tool station on the back of the leaning post.
You can steer the 3000 downwind handily, and the less-than-radical 22-degree deadrise and transom bracket overhang help to dampen beam sea rolling more than you'd expect on a performance boat.
About the only thing the tiny cuddy cabin only this boat can be used for is lying down or rod storage, though the portable head will work for children and short people. Storage areas, however, offer loads of room: Insulated fish boxes, pull-out boxes with storage and access beneath abound. Wiring has heat-shrink tubing and soldered connections, and each 3000 contains separate pumps for wash-down, bilge and bait well.
As you'd expect from a performance boat, the 3000 has an exceptionally comfortable leaning-post design with a backrest for support when seated. The contoured leaning post keeps you comfortably supported no matter the sea condition. An angled footrest lets you stand fiat-footed rather than always shoving your toes forward in your shoes.
Pro-Line employees fish, so it's no wonder that you'll find fishing amenities all present and located right where they need to be. Popup cleats, both on the bow and amidships, keep lines from snagging, as do standard stern cleats hidden beneath the gunwale, with hawsepipes for line access.
Working the cockpit in rough weather is always a challenge, but with cockpit bolsters just above knee height to port and starboard and room beneath to tuck in your toes, the 3000 gives you a secure feeling.
It rained on our way to the Marquesas, and while I don't mind getting wet, I had a distinct problem with raindrops pelting my face like someone shooting at me with a BB gun. Pro-Line definitely needs to redesign the windshield, making it higher and stronger as well as removing a few of the compound curves to get rid of the distortion.

CATEGORIES MoviesWhen the new badass trailer for 'The Dark Knight Rises' was released today, another action sequel -- 'Wrath of the Titans' -- came out with one of its own. While there are absolutely no expectations for 'Wrath' to compete on the same level as Batman, the clip for the new 'Titans' film at least has comparable graphics, including a few fight sequences with Perseus (Sam Worthington) and a whole host of ugly creatures (sorry folks, no Kraken here; he -- SPOILER ALERT -- died in 2010's 'Clash of the Titans').
In 'Wrath,' Perseus tries to stop Hades (Ralph Fiennes), the God of the Underworld, and Ares (Edgar Ramirez), the God of War, in their attempt to capture Zeus (Liam Neeson). Exciting (mythological) stuff!
You can check out the low-quality version of the trailer below. The HD (and more awesome) version is over on Apple. 'Wrath of the Titans' hits theaters March 30, 2012.

It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light.

Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section.

College Football Spotlight: Ohio State A Win Away From BCS Title Shot, Whether SEC Likes It Or Not

College Football Spotlight: Biggest Question Now Is Michigan State Or Oklahoma State?

College Football Spotlight: Ohio State Is Going To Pasadena, But For Which Game?

Five Things: Goodbye Big East, Buckeyes Win Big Ten, And West Coast Blues

FGCU's Cabrera Sets New Barbados National Record at World Championships
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Redshirt freshman Lani Cabrera (Barbados/St. Ursula's Secondary School) of the FGCU swimming and diving team set a new Barbados national record in the 800-yard freestyle at the FINA World Swimming Championships in Istanbul, Turkey.
Cabrera placed 12th out of 21 competitors in the 800-yard freestyle with a time of 8:57.56. She broke her own record of 9:00.09, which she set earlier this year in March at the Southern Sectionals in Orlando, Fla.
Cabrera owns five national records for Barbados in the 200-yard free (2:06.43), 400-yard free (4:23.31), 1500-yard free (17:16.87) and 400-yard IM (5:14.52).
The FGCU swimming and diving team will be back in action January 5th when they host a tri-meet against CCSA conference opponents, Georgia Southern and Liberty. The meet is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.

|2008, 2nd round, 11th pick by Broncos
L.T. is yet another worn-down runner
Of all the numbers connected with LaDainian Tomlinson, in the end, the number 3,410 is the one that matters most now because it's the one that ended his time in San Diego and as the best running back ...
Merriman a high-risk, high-reward proposition
The nickname of Chargers OLB Shawne Merriman may be "Lights Out," but that term certainly doesn't describe his play over the last two seasons.
Report: Chargers will offer highest tenders to Merriman, Jackson, Floyd
The Chargers will offer the highest possible contract tenders to restricted free agents OLB Shawne Merriman and WRs Vincent Jackson and Malcom Floyd, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Merriman laments uncertainty about his future
In a wide-ranging interview with PFW, Chargers OLB Shawne Merriman discusses his future with the Chargers, why he won't be asking for the chance to leave San Diego this offseason and the resolution to the lawsuits between him and ...
Update: No jail time for Chargers' Jackson in DUI case
Chargers WR Vincent Jackson has been required to serve four days in a work-release program and received five years' probation after pleading guilty to a 2009 DUI charge, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. He was also handed a fine ...
Chargers part ways with Tomlinson
In the culmination of an event many months in the making, the Chargers officially released RB LaDainian Tomlinson on Monday after the back struggled through the 2009 season.
Chance to play WR could lure Osgood from San Diego
It's been well documented how many key free agents the Chargers will have this offseason, but one player who has somewhat flown under the radar is Kassim Osgood, the club's only integral element who will be unrestricted.
Key decisions lie ahead for Chargers' Smith
Maybe more so than any team in the league, the Chargers have a number of critical decisions to make this offseason. First and foremost, though, is choosing which of their many key free agents they wish to keep — either long-term ...
Bolts need RB with L.T.'s likely departure
For Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson, the 2009 offseason was a fiasco. With him being owed a boatload of money that the team was not willing to pay, Tomlinson's representatives and GM A.J. Smith went back and forth in ...
Chargers give Turner three-year extension
The Chargers have signed head coach Norv Turner to a three-year contract extension, extending his current deal through the 2013 season.
Sanchez, Greene star as Jets shock Chargers

PFW's Hub Arkush says a glance at the remaining playoff teams provides a good indication that the NFC has become a stronger conference than the AFC, with four championship-caliber NFC teams and only two such AFC clubs in the ...
Chargers see significant progress in run 'D'
The Chargers can point to many reasons on both sides of the ball for their dramatic improvement in the second half of 2009, but we hear a number of players pointed out this week that an upgrade in run defense ...
You gotta believe it to see it
This year, in mid-December, the Jets were at .500 and drawing up their 2010 draft plans. Suddenly the schedule broke in their favor. Their final two opponents didn't want to play, and so a 7-7 carp became a 9-7 ...

AFC playoff primer
TE Dallas Clark is the Colts' player to watch in the upcoming playoffs, as PFW analyzes the offenses and defenses of the AFC's six postseason participants and speculates on what it will take for each to win the Super ...
Sproles not breaking games open as returner
With the ball in his hands, the Chargers' Darren Sproles remains one of the league's most dangerous players. But in the return game, some of the jolt he provided the team in 2008 has been missing this season.
Royal is active for Sunday's game against the Jets.||||||| Royal had a hamstring injury for the Bolts.
San Diego wide receivers Eddie Royal and Robert Meachem are inactive for the Chargers' game against the Kansas City Chiefs because of hamstring injuries.||||||| Danario Alexander was expected to start in Meachem's place and safety Eric Weddle was expected to return punts for Royal. Curtis Brinkley is expected to return kickoffs for Richard Goodman, who was put on injured reserve on Monday.
Denver will not have Royal against the Chicago Bears on Sunday due to a concussion.||||||| Royal was hurt last weekend in a win over Minnesota when he collided with a teammate on a punt return. He has 18 catches for 153 yards this season.
Royal missed his second straight practice Thursday, still recovering from a concussion.||||||| Royal, who also missed practice time last week with a toe injury, collided with a teammate during a punt return late in Denver's victory over Minnesota last Sunday. Coach John Fox said the team was being cautious with Royal and following the league-mandated medical protocols on concussions.
Royal is recovering from an offseason hip operation, but team spokesman Patrick Smyth says the Broncos are hopeful the wide receiver "will be ready for OTAs in late May."||||||| A key component of Denver's deep receiving corps, Royal had a bounce-back season in 2010 despite dealing with a nagging groin injury all year. The third-year pro caught 59 passes for 627 yards and three touchdowns. He also averaged 11.9 yards on 25 punt returns and 21.4 yards on five kickoff returns. Any setbacks in Royal's recovery could open up more playing time for Demaryius Thomas, the Broncos' top draft pick last year who had an injury-plagued rookie season.

Reviva Labs - Elastin Ampules Ionisable 10 x 0.10 oz.
As one ages, skin's elastin level diminishes. External use of elastin with adequate amino acid content has proven to be a valuable aid in the fight against signs of skin aging and "skin sag."
Reviva Labs Elastin Ampules Ionisable have been called "the ultimate elastin treatment: - pure cutures of freeze dried (lyophilized) elastin - hermetically sealed in glass vials to protect biological potency.
Reviva Labs Elastin Ampules Ionisable are the very same ampules used in leading skin-rejuvenation salons to treat loose skin under eyes and on throat; and for facial lines.
About Reviva LabsIn 1973 when Reviva Labs was established, the word "Exfoliation" was unknown in America. That was 38 years ago. It's when Reviva Labs introduced the first non-chemical European Exfoliant to Health Food Stores, known as "Light Skin Peel". It's unique formula and blending remains unduplicated today.
Because Reviva has been a "quiet" company, most of you are probably not aware that Reviva was also the first in Health Food Stores with:
Although Health Food Stores are Reviva's major distribution channel, Reviva's origins are actually in professional skin care salons. Reviva's founder, Stephen Strassler, is one of America's earliest Aestheticians.
It was (and is today) the testing of product safety and performance in various skin care salons that has been a unique and key factor in Reviva's history of product effectiveness.
Product effectiveness is not only a matter of the right ingredients but the experience in blending the proper percentages. And the knowledge of the interaction of those ingredients.
The wrong percentage of one of the active ingredients could inactivate the performance of the product.
Think about what you've learned from your own experiences over the years. Then, please consider what 38 years of skin care experience can mean to you the next time you're buying skin- care products.
Shake well before using. Use on well-cleansed skin. Remember, too, that a once-a-week use of Reviva Light Skin Peel is an important cleansing supplement and will aid absorption of ampules. Shake vial before use.
Break off top with a tissue wrapped around neck of ampule. Pour into palm and pat or massage lightly onto face and throat. Use for seven consecutive nights. A single ampule is generally used over two nights - just put foil on end of ampule and refrigerate. EXTERNAL USE ONLY.

From LeakyPedia
Lily Potter (née Evans), born 30 January, 1960, was a Muggle-born witch and the mother of Harry Potter. She was the younger sister of Petunia Dursley. She was sorted into Gryffindor house at Hogwarts. She married James Potter and had a son, Harry Potter. In the first wizarding war she was a member of the original Order of the Phoenix, and together with her husband she was murdered by Lord Voldemort on the 31 October, 1981, leaving behind her then one year old son.
[edit] Biographical information
Born: 30 January, 1960
Died: 31 October, 1981, in Godric's Hollow
Blood Status: Muggle-born
[edit] Backstory
Lily grew up with her parents and sister until the age of eleven, when she first received her Hogwarts letter. Her magical abilities were revealed to her by Severus Snape, whom she befriended whilst playing in a deserted playground with Petunia. After receiving her Hogwarts letter, her relationship with Petunia quickly deteriorated, who branded her a freak as she left for Hogwarts. On the train she shared a compartment with Snape and met the Marauders for the first time, who she soon disliked as they teased Snape. Lily was sorted into Gryffindor at Hogwarts, whereas Snape was sorted into Slytherin.
As she got older she argued with Snape over his choice of friends, showing an intense hatred of the Dark Arts that would continue for the rest of her life. This eventually resulted in the breakdown of their friendship after he called her a Mudblood in their fifth year. She also hated the Marauders, especially James Potter, but this changed in her seventh year when he turned his behaviour around and they started dating. She was Head Girl during seventh year and probably a Prefect too.
After she left Hogwarts she joined the Order of the Phoenix and, along with James, was said to have faced Lord Voldemort personally three times. She married James soon after leaving school and became pregnant with Harry. Harry's Christening was quiet and hurried, with Sirius Black, his godfather, the only guest, for fear of Voldemort. It is unclear whether Harry's birth and Christening took place just before or some time after the Potters went into hiding. [1] Sybill Trelawney had made a prophecy foretelling that their son would possibly be the one to destroy Lord Voldemort, forcing Lily and James to go into hiding in Godric's Hollow. A Fidelius Charm was placed upon their home and she and James originally decided that Sirius Black should be the Secret Keeper, but Sirius thought that would be too obvious and suggested Peter Pettigrew instead. Peter was a traitor and gave their whereabouts to Voldemort, who attacked the house in order to kill Harry. After James was murdered, Voldemort gave Lily the option to step aside and save herself but Lily refused, preferring to die for her son. Voldemort killed her but her sacrifice gave Harry protection and caused Voldemort's spell to backfire. Lily was unaware that her sacrifice would provide important protection for her son, Ms. Rowling says; she was simply doing what any normal mother would do. [2]
[edit] Portrayals within films
Lily is portrayed as an adult by Geraldine Somerville in all eight Harry Potter films. She is portrayed as a teenager by Susie Shinner in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and as a child by Ellie Darcey-Alden in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
[edit] Characterisation
[edit] Outward Appearance
Lily is described as being very pretty with long dark red hair. Her eyes are emerald green and almond-shaped, exactly the same as Harry's eyes.
[edit] Personality
Lily is shown as being very hot-tempered through her arguments with James, but she was also extremely compassionate and courageous. JK Rowling has described her as being popular at school and according to Slughorn, she was charming, vivacious and witty.
[edit] Magical accomplishments and skills
Lily was considered a very bright and gifted student and was especially talented at Potions. Due to her skill, she was singled out by Slughorn to join the Slug Club and became one of his favourite students. She also defied Voldemort three times, which indicates that she was very talented at Defence Against the Dark Arts.
[edit] Family
Lily's parents, Mr and Mrs Evans, were Muggles and were immensely proud of their magical daughter, although they died before she did. Lily married James Potter soon after Hogwarts and had a son, Harry, who she unfortunately wasn't able to raise. Her sister Petunia married Vernon Dursley and they had a son called Dudley, Lily's nephew. Lily did not get on well with the Dursleys although she appeared to be friends with Petunia before going to Hogwarts.

Canon General / Re: anyone had someone over their shoulder on a job?« on: February 07, 2013, 11:50:54 AM »
obviously you haven't had to work with a pesky art director, sales manager, marketing manager, or the anal retentive micro managing general manager on commercial shoots... You can easily be bothered or intimidated by how they can be... Some shoots, not often, my sets have to be approved by top management before I fire the shutter, just so I dont bother wasting my time if they dont like the set or want something changed... It happens
i have. the difference there being that there is usually as much time as you need to get the shot right. on weddings there is typically so very little time that even the slightest interruptions can start cutting into the opportunities for photos. not to even mention that if there is a distraction or someone getting in your way during a moment...its gone. no redoing it.
i love working with art director's because of the collaboration and the ability to craft a shot for a clients needs. weddings don't afford that luxury. there needs to be one person running the show...otherwise you are inviting potential troubles.

Is LaMichael James, the Niners' surprise second-round selection in this year's draft, who ranked second in the nation in total rushing yards (1,805) in his final season at Oregon, definitely considered the heir apparent to Frank Gore?
Not so fast, our team insiders tell us.
"I don't know if he is the next Gore," said one close team observer. "He's not a guy who's going to run through tacklers 3-4 times a game like Gore does. Now, maybe the combination of James and (Kendall) Hunter can give you that dimension."
Just how much will James play initially?
"It's up to him," the observer said. "I think they're definitely going to want him to return kicks and see how he develops as a return guy and what he shows from scrimmage. His skills and style are very similar to those of Hunter. His production (at Oregon) was outrageous, and he stayed pretty healthy. But there are no guarantees. Is he another Darren Sproles or another Dexter McCluster? We'll see."
Sources close to the team agree that James' presence might not bode well for Ted Ginn Jr., the team's current kick returner, who has not provided much help at wide receiver, or newly acquired Brandon Jacobs or second-year man Anthony Dixon, in what has all of a sudden become a very crowded backfield.
"One thing with Jacobs is that he doesn't play special teams," the source said. "The other thing is how sick he supposedly has become of being tackled below the knees all the time, which has made him more tentative. He might really have to wow them in order to make this team."
