Sales of Apple's iMac, the computer often credited with saving the company, have peaked and by the end of 2014 will account for approximately 2 percent of the firm's revenues, analysts now predict.
The iMac, an all-in-one computer with roots in the original 1984 Macintosh, was introduced in 1998 as a gumdrop-shaped machine sporting a CRT (cathode ray tube) display. Its hallmarks were an AWOL floppy drive -- the first Mac to dump the then-standard component -- and translucent plastic cases that came in a bevy of eye-squinting colors. Six years later, Apple reshaped the machine to fit the logic board, drives, and other components behind an LCD screen, a form it still retains.

Apple's return to computer industry significance is often traced to the original iMac, the first system introduced by then-interim CEO Steve Jobs after his return to the firm he had co-founded two decades earlier.
But even with that pedigree, the iMac has long been outpaced by Apple's laptops. In the last four quarters, for example, Apple's laptops outsold desktops by nearly three to one, with a similar revenue disparity.
Poor desktop sales were caused in part by the long stretch between product refreshes: Apple revamped the line in May 2011, then waited until late October 2012 to release the next update, an interval 72 percent longer than average. But the iMac immediately stumbled, as the new models did not go on sale until Nov. 30 because of supply issues.
Those supply issues will have a dramatic impact on iMac sales this quarter and next, according to a pair of Wall Street analysts who model future quarters.
Brian White, of Topeka Capital Markets, for instance, forecasts that desktop sales this quarter will be just over one million machines, or 31 percent fewer than during the same quarter last year. Nearly all of Apple's desktop sales are iMacs; the other two desktop lines, the Mac Mini and Mac Pro, sell in comparatively tiny volumes.
Meanwhile, Brian Marshall, of ISI, predicted equally bad news, saying that desktop sales will be down 29 percent this quarter.
Clearly, the lack of available iMacs in the fourth quarter, traditionally the best for desktop sales, has eliminated the usual "pop" from the holidays and a recent refresh.
And things are not going to get better.
White's estimates for 2013 peg desktop sales at under a million for two of the coming year's four quarters, down 20 percent and 2 percent for the first and second quarters, respectively. For fiscal year 2013, which runs from Oct 1., 2012, to Sept. 30, 2013, White figures that Apple's desktop sales will be 14 percent lower than in the previous year.
Marshall's take is the same: In the first quarter of 2013, desktop sales will be down 20 percent, and sales during the calendar year will be off 14 percent.
By the end of 2013, each analyst estimates, Apple's laptops will outsell its desktops by four to one.

VTE is the third most common cardiovascular complication and occurs when you have either deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or a pulmonary embolism (PE). Deep vein thrombosis is a condition when a blood clot forms in a deep vein in the body. DVT could block blood flow through the veins. A pulmonary embolism can then occur if a blood clot breaks loose from the vein and travels through the body into the lung. This can lead to death.
Past research has documented that the use of combination hormonal birth control may increase your chances of experiencing venous thromboembolism - VTE (also known as blood clots) or other types of cardiovascular complications. Rates of VTE in women who use the pill are in the range of 3-9 per 10,000 women per year whereas VTE rates for non-pill users of reproductive age approximate 1–5 per 10,000 women per year. The good news: This means a relatively low risk for either group. But should you still be concerned?
Studies have shown that all combination hormonal contraception may pose some sort of risk for developing VTE. It is thought that the estrogen found in hormonal birth control may be the major contributing factor. Due to new European research published in mid-2011 that showed a higher risk of developing VTE in women using newer combination birth control pills that contain the progestin drospirenone, the FDA in the United States decided to conduct an in-depth investigation to evaluate the relationship between VTE risk and combination hormonal contraception. Again: It is important to note, however, that even though VTE risk may be higher in women who use this type of contraception, the overall risk is still relatively low.
The bottom line: Newer hormonal birth control methods that contain the progestin drospirenone may indeed increase your risk of VTE, more so than if you took an older hormonal birth control method.
The FDA analysis, which contains the most comprehensive data available, consisted of a study that examined seven year's worth of data from four geographically diverse locations. At least 835,826 women, ages 10-55 years, who had at least one prescription for a combination hormonal contraceptive were evaluated. The goal of this research was to assess three newer hormonal contraceptive formulations to determine if the risk of VTE, DVT, PE and/or cardiovascular death is higher than it would be for four older oral contraceptive formulations with similar low levels of estrogen. The following combination birth control methods were examined (the first 3 are the newer methods):
- 3.0 mg Drospirenone/30 mcg ethinyl estradiol oral contraceptive (Yasmin)
- 6 mg Norelgestromin/750 mcg ethinyl estradiol transdermal patch (Ortho Evra Patch)
- 11.7 mg Etonogestrel/2700 mcg estradiol vaginal ring (NuvaRing)
- .10 mg Levonorgestrel /20 mcg ethinyl estradiol (like Alesse, Aviane-28)
- .15 mg Levonorgestrel /30 mcg ethinyl estradiol (like Seasonique, Nordette)
- 1 mg Norethindrone/20 mcg ethinyl estradiol (Loestrin 1/20)
- .18-.25 mgs Norgestimate /35 mcg ethinyl estradiol (Ortho Tri-Cyclen)
Understanding the Results:
When interpreting the results from this FDA study, it is important to understand that in research, a result is considered statistically significant (or significant) when it has been determined that the result is very likely to have been caused by something (in the case of this FDA study, the newer formulations). In other words, the result is considered significant if it extremely probable that it did not occur by chance.
Some Key Results From This FDA Study:
- For all users, the drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol pills, the patch and NuvaRing were linked with a significantly higher risk of VTE (as compared to the 4 older formulations). This is especially the case for women ages 10-34.
- New users (women who used a combination hormonal contraceptive for the first time during this study) taking drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol pills showed a significantly higher risk of both ATE (arterial thrombosis – a blood clot in an artery that often leads to heart attack or stroke) and VTE.
- Drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol pills were associated with significantly higher risk of VTE when used for 0-3 months as well as for 7-12 months of use.
- For new users, the contraceptive patch was linked to a 3-fold increase in risk of VTE when used for more than 12 months as compared to the same duration of use of the older formulas.
- Drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol pills showed a statistically significant risk for VTE in women 10-34 years old and an increased risk for ATE in women 35 years and older.
- Even though the .15 mg levonorgestrel/30 mcg ethinyl estradiol pills contained the same amount of estrogen as the drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol pills, the drospirenone pills posed more VTE risk to all users.
- When the patch was only compared to the older formulation .15 mg levonorgestrel/30 mcg ethinyl estradiol pills, there was an increased risk for VTE for women who used the patch for 0-3 months and 12 or more months (this risk was not seen in the comparison formulation).
- There may be an increase risk for ATE in women who use NuvaRing for more than 12 months, but this data is based on 1 case, so this potential risk needs to be examined further.
Additional Research Considered:
Part of this investigation also consisted of reviewing six published studies that had analyzed the risk of VTE with birth control pills containing drospirenone. The results from these studies have been mixed; yet four of them concluded that there is definitely an increased VTE risk for women who use these pills. In fact, the two most recent studies (from April 2011) suggest that the risk of developing blood clots for women using drospirenone-containing is 1.5- to 2 times higher than for women who use birth control pills containing a different progestin.
The FDA also reviewed seven research studies on VTE risk and the Ortho Evra Patch. In general, these reports indicate that, as compared to other combination birth control pill formulations, the contraceptive patch likely increases the risk of VTE. Because women are exposed to much higher levels of estrogen with the patch, it is estimated that they are 2-3 times more likely to experience some type of VTE symptom.
What Does All This Mean?
Based on the results of its own investigation, in combination with existing literature, the FDA has concluded that use of continuous exposure combination hormonal contraceptives, such as the Ortho Evra Patch (which is left on the body for one week at a time) and the NuvaRing (that remains inserted in the body for three weeks at a time), could potentially result in higher sustained exposure to estrogen -- leading to an increased blood clot or VTE risk. Thus, the FDA stands behind its original conclusion (prompting an updated black box warning on the patch in January 2008) – that the use of the Ortho Evra patch is associated with a higher risk of VTEs as compared to standard combination pills.
The results indicating an increased risk of VTE with NuvaRing use (as compared to combination pills) raised some concern. But, the FDA believes this finding needs to be replicated in additional research before the agency will take a definitive stance on it or announces any official warning on NuvaRing use.
The FDA suggests that the use of pills containing drospirenone are also connected to an approximate 1.5-fold increase an increased risk of VTE/blood clots when compared to standard low-dose oral contraceptives. This means that if the risk of developing a blood clot for a woman using other hormonal birth control is about 6 in 10 thousand, then the risk of developing a blood clot among women using pills with drospirenone would be about 10 in 10 thousand. Additionally, the VTE risk with these pills appears to be significantly increased during the first three months of use as well as during 7-12 months of use.
There also appears to be a significant link between age, drospirenone-containing pill use and VTE/ATE occurance. Women under the age of 35 are at a higher risk of VTE but have a lower risk of ATE. The FDA hypothesizes that the progestin drospirenone may be more likely to increase heart rhythm problems and sudden deaths among users because it has certain properties that affect salt and water balances and can increase potassium levels.
At this time, the FDA has not issued an official warning on the use of birth control pills that contain drospirenone. The agency has only indicated in its most recent safety announcement on April 10, 2012,
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its review of recent observational studies regarding the risk of blood clots in women taking drospirenone-containing birth control pills. Based on this review, the FDA has concluded that drospirenone-containing birth control pills may be associated with a higher risk for blood clots than other progestin-containing pills."The FDA's review of the results of this study (especially the data resulting from the evaluation of drospirenone-containing birth control pills) was submitted and discussed at the joint meeting of the Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee and the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee on December 8, 2011. The advisory panel voted 21-5 that the FDA should require new labeling for drospirenone-containing pills such as Yaz, Yasmin, Beyaz, Safyral (and their generic versions); they felt the current labels are insufficient since they only include information about the conflicting research on VTE risks. The labeling should be advised to more clearly articulate the potential VTE risk as well as making it clear that VTE (blood clots) could be fatal. In April 2012, the FDA issued a requirement for updated labeling. However, the new labels requirements did not follow the advisory panel's recommendations. The FDA is mandating that labels of drospirenone-containing birth control pills now contain information about the recent observational studies that the FDA has just reviewed. Additionally, the revised drug labels will now have to state that some studies revealed up to a three-fold increase in the risk of blood clots for drospirenone-containing products when compared to products containing levonorgestrel or some other progestins, yet other studies found no additional blood clot risk for drospirenone-containing products. The new labels will also reference the results of the FDA's own investigation of VTE risk.

I'm against sptiiting on people...unless that person is Deangelo Hall.
T.O. admitted he spit in Hall's face on NFL network this morning. Said Hall was talking crap all game and he lost his cool and spit on him. HE NEVER denied it said he did it and was sorry. Was kinda nonchalant about it. Even Dion Sanders in the interview kind of got on him about why he would spit in another player's face but T.O. downplayed it like it was no big deal. T.O. just said he " i admit it .. I'm sorry..I just lost my cool" IS ANYONE surprised T.O. would do such a thing??? This A-Hole NEVER has shown he has any class and even if we were to go 0-16 I would NEVER want him in a Buc's uniform. He is the ultimate ME..ME..ME and he leads the NFL in dropped passes.
Even with it being DeAngelo Hall, that is one thing you never do. I would have beaten TO like a rented mule... TO=Sean Taylor=Bill Romanowski

In the future I will be charging by the hour...
by Eric Petersen
posted Sep 13 2013 11:39AM
In Japanese the word
(おっさん) is somewhat of a rude word for middle aged-dudes. How would you like to rent an ossan? Well, in Tokyo, you can.
Ossan Rental
, a middle-aged man rental service that makes older gentlemen available for only 1,000 yen (US$10) an hour.
And not just regular old dudes, but 65 year-old former Japanese pro ballplayer Mikio Sendou (who was an All-Star in 1978!) and 46 year-old "fashion producer" Takanobu Nishimoto. Currently, there are only two ossan for rent.
The hair. Just look at the hair! It's magnificent. These aren't video game characters. They're men who would like to drink cocktails… Read…
This is not a sexual service! Or a host club. Japanese website NariNari explains that you are renting an ossan to do things like, for example, going to art galleries, having lunch and talking about your love life, test driving cars with you, renting weepy DVDs, looking at new apartments together, complimenting you, and even giving you ideas.
You can even hire an ossan to run your errands or do your shopping. And in Sendou's case, you can have him sign old baseball cards!
Basically, in my "third act" here on earth, I see myself either here in the USA being a University security guard, a beach comber for a hotel in some southern coastal town, or greeter for Walmart… but in Japan I am a hot commodity that can charge by the hour!
Retirement plan made!

We've been hearing the following whispers from around the NFC West:
• It appears Niners OL David Baas is enjoying starting at center in place of Eric Heitmann, who will probably be sidelined through September after breaking his leg in training camp. "He looks much more natural at center than guard," said one daily team observer of Baas, the Niners' starting left guard last season. "He might have the highest Wonderlic (test score) on the team and is very cerebral, and he really likes the mental challenge of playing center."
• We're told the Cardinals felt they had no choice but to part ways with OLB Cody Brown, the team's second-round pick in 2009. "They just kept waiting and waiting, but he never flashed anything in games or practices," one team insider said of Brown, who sat out his rookie season with a fractured wrist. "Plus, his personality rubbed a lot of people in the organization the wrong way, and he never meshed from a chemistry standpoint."
• Our Rams sources tell us head coach Steve Spagnuolo really regretted releasing third-year WR Keenan Burton, who was let to go to make room for newly acquired WR Mark Clayton. "He was one of Spagnuolo's guys," one team insider said of Burton. " 'Spags' was always lavishing Burton with praise and really loved his character. But Burton just had knee problems all the time."
• We hear seventh-round rookie DE Dexter Davis was one of the Seahawks' more pleasant surprises this offseason. "His versatility as a rush end or strong-side linebacker is a plus," said one observer of Davis. "And he's shown obvious pass-rush ability."

If you're even an average Spurs fan then you've had more then enough reason for looking into a Zoloft prescription.
However, I'd like offer an alternative solution: positive perspective. I'm going to serve this up in three courses & dessert: Modric be Gone, Down goes VDV, NEW Formation! & at least we're not Arsenal!
Modric be Gone:
We've all had more than enough with the Modric to Chelsea drama this summer, and after his near refusal to play yesterday I'd personally be glad to see him gone. I understand that he's been our creative fulcrum and most consistent midfielder. However, he is not Lionel Messi and therefore replaceable. The reason a team builds depth is that the first & second choice team should essentially be interchangeable. Our midfield is our deepest position and once healthy again gives us that interchangeability many of rivals envy. So in conclusion Modric maybe the class of the midfielders, but we have depth there. The funds from his transfer will allow us to address more pressing needs.
Down goes VDV:
Yes, losing VDV sucks. BUT this may actually be what we've needed. Despite all of VDV's talent Harry never should have changed the formation just to meet his full potential on the pitch. His free roaming central attacking role left our strikers without a horizontal partner and put him in the space that Bale & Lennon should be occupying while cutting into the center of the pitch. Losing VDV means that the rest of the front six has the attacking space to work to their advantage. Additionally, whatever striker we still have on contract to pair with Adebayor will instantly become more productive than last year.
NEW Formation:
At this point going back to the 4-4-2 that got us into the Champions League in the first place would be an upgrade over the 4-4-1-1 for reasons stated above. However, I'd like to point out that we're currently better fit to run the 4-3-3 from a personnel standpoint than our cross North London rivals. Imagine Adebayor running central with Bale & Lennon flanking him. Bale & Lennon have the advantage of starting their runs further up the pitch and with room in front & behind defenders. Additionally, we can now get two of our "defensive" minded mids on the pitch at a time in Sandro, Hudd, & Diarra if we bring him in. (I would have added Palacios to that list but he's on the way out it seems. The third mid spot belongs on Kranjcar at the moment, but in the future VDV can reclaim his place pushing up the middle without robbing the wings of room to work. Additionally, this formation provides the young'ins (Livermore, Townsend, & Rose first team opportunities.
At Least we're not the Gunners:
Not to be outdone by our 0-3 loss to Man U the Gunners trumped us by giving Rooney three of his own and the entire team 8 in total. Furthermore, not only are they gifting their class players away to fellow Champions League opponents like Messi gets player of the whatever trophies they're playing epl matches 10 v 11. Additionally, I understand that Levy/Harry are frustrating to follow in the transfer market, but you don't see our entire squad begging for a mass exodus. We needed a class striker and we got Adebayor. Our management maybe frustrating to follow, but they get the job done.
Thanks for reading my first post and I look forward to any comments.

(section: 3 / paragraph: b / line: 1)
Plywood is not considered to have pre-glued joints, it is legal for use.
(section: 3 / paragraph: c / line: 2)
Yes, any type of thread may be used to attache the functional components.
(section: 3 / paragraph: d / line: 1)
Yes. If ballast falls off during the flight, timing will stop when the ballast touches the ground. Ballast does not need to be permanently attached. If the event supervisor feels ballast changes, repairs, or other modifications have potentially made the glider over or underweight, the glider should be reconfirmed prior to any remaining flights.
(section: 3 / paragraph: e / line: 1)
Wing span is the projected span, wings level, projected on a horizontal plane, tip to tip. It is usually measured with a simple gage and has to pass through a 28.0 cm gap (parallel edges) without touching. Think of the gage as physically representing two parallel lines spaced 28 cm apart. Glider must pass when the tips are oriented to a plane orthogonal to both lines.
(section: 3 / paragraph: f / line: 1,2)
Yes, A glider may have a propeller as long as there is no power source for the propeller, provided it is made from the allowed materials (3.c.), and meets the blunt nose requirement (3.f.) Also, remember elastic is only permitted as part of the launch handle and is not permitted on the glider.
(section: 3 / paragraph: g / line: 1)
A launch handle is an object attached to the elastic used to propel the glider as long as it follows the parameters defined in the rules. Examples are, but not limited to: a small stick, pencil, pen, dowel, or something more complex.
(section: 4 / paragraph: b / line: 1)
Yes, this rule applies to Open Practice the day of competition. The rule is specific including trimming, practicing and competing. Coaches & students are not allowed to interact in the cordoned off practice area the day of the competition.
(section: 4 / paragraph: g / line: 1)
Yes provided it is safe and meets the size and construction requirements (3g.) and is operated by a single competitor at floor level (4g.)
The student must be in direct contact with the floor and not on another raised suface (chair, ladder, bleachers, balcony, etc). There is mo requirement as to posture: standing, kneeling, sitting, prone at chose of the competitor.
(section: 4 / paragraph: k / line: 2)
Yes, your hand holding the elastic may be the launch handle.
(section: 5 / paragraph: b / line: 1)
There are two horizontal aerodynamic surfaces in elastic launch gliders. The larger surface is the primary source of lift and is considered the "wing." The smaller is a stabilization source and is considered the "horizontal stabilizer." Canard configurations place the horizontal stabilizer in front of the wing (reverse that of traditional layouts.) No aerodynamic surfaces may be behind the main wing.
Yes, a vertical fin may be at the rear of the glider for a canard as long as it does not provide any lift.
Each flight will be scored and the bonus (if applicable applied) to that flight. The top 3 flights will then be added to compute the total score.

Hi, everybody.
I work with railway designs and we have many rock cuts along the corridor. I've already tried many solutions for this (even SAC) and it didn't come as expected.
The assembly we should use would be something like this:
The blue line represents the cut area I need and the red line just the 'projection' the dayligthining of the blue line should follow after targeting the Rock Surface.
I tried to create some assemblies using the default C3D subassemblies and the best result I could get was doing a auxiliar corridor first targeting the rock surface so I have the points (daylights) where the 1:1 slope should begin.
Then I created another corridor using this assembly:
I have a generic link to Rock Surface (0.20:1 Slope) then the LinkWidthandSlope to target the daylights of the first corridor and the DaylightBench targeting to EG (1:1 Slope).
Of course when I create the corridor it shows a bunch of errors although if I generate the corridor surface using Top Links it works like I want...
except for some points where the surface doesn't follow the top links...
It's not a big deal as I can edit these wrong points and have the correct surface but as we have many rock cuts it would take a long time to correct it and also any change in the rail profile would regen the corridor surface and we would have to edit it again.
So... anyone knows a better solution to create a corridor like this (and with no errors)?
Thank you, and sorry about my English mistakes.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I think that your best option here is to use two corridors to solve this. The first one would be to build the red lines, and you would have to use a series of conditional subs and generic links to establish a point at the interface with the rock surface as you build up to the EG surface. Extract the featurelines at the intersection of the red links and the rock surface.
The second corridor would be building the blue lines. Start with a slope to surface up to the rock, then use a stripping sub to follow the rock surface out to the feature line that you extracted earlier. Finish it off with another stripping sub which follows the surface created from the previous corridor up the blue links to EG.
The hardest part is going to be working out the logic of the conditional tests,
Thanks a lot, sboon.
The stripping subassembly was the solution!
I needed two auxiliar corridors to get the final corridor and surface...
This is the blue line assembly...
I also had to use a final DaylightBench to be able to create Datum surface
The final surface
and the best part.. with no errors in the corridor!

Yahoo's China Strategy Is Paying Off
Don Dion • Thu, Aug. 21 • 20 Comments
- Yahoo!'s early China strategy reveals impressive growth in a new and challenging business environment.
- Yahoo!'s stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba could pay off soon in a variety of ways, including making Yahoo! more attractive to a potential buyer.
- While Yahoo's Q2 results disappointed from several angles, the new influx of cash from selling its Alibaba stake could allow the company more power and flexibility to grow in Q3.
- We suggest shareholders hold positions through the IPO, as the future could be bright for the nimble firm.

lllegal immigration is a phenomenon confronted by many major immigrant-receiving countries, one that vexes policymakers and publics alike. While much of the focus may be on border enforcement, there are an array of interior enforcement policies aimed at identifying unauthorized immigrants for removal, including worksite enforcement, employment verification, jail-house screening, and state and local law enforcement activity. The research below delves into many facets of illegal immigration and enforcement occcuring away from national borders.
This policy brief examines the "twilight status" or the de facto partial recognition of two particular categories of immigrants within the United States' broader undocumented population: those with legally recognized claims to eventual lawful permanent resident status; and those with legally recognized temporary statuses.
This brief outlines the framework for MPI's Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future and highlights key issues in U.S. immigration policy it seeks to inform: upholding rule of law; developing policies that meet immigration/national security needs; managing immigration to increase economic competitiveness; and promoting economic and social integration.
Although federal statute affords "the privilege of being represented," to immigrants in removal proceedings, appointed counsel must be "at no expense to the government." This report analyzes the "no expense" restriction and its effect on case outcomes. It then outlines a number of ways in which legal representation could be increased without significant federal funding.
This report examines the transfer of immigration functions from the former Immigration and Naturalization Service to the newly established Department of Homeland Security and offers an analysis of the Department's progress in its first year of existence toward accomplishing the two purposes for which it was created: (1) to ensure that immigration regulation and control enhances national security; and (2) to improve the performance of both the service and enforcement sides of the immigration system by allocating their respective functions to separate units within DHS.
This fact sheet provides an estimate and brief description of the unauthorized immigrant population in the United States in 2003.
The events that unfolded in the U.S. on September 11 generated a renewed sense of urgency over border management. Bilateral Smart Border agreements were reached between the U.S. and Canada as well as the U.S. and Mexico in December 2001 and March 2002. This report tracks the implementation of these border accords and seeks to evaluate their effectiveness.
On November 25, 2002, Congress passed the Homeland Security Act, which effectively overhauled the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and called for a massive reorganization of immigration functions under the newly formed Department of Homeland Security (DHS).This report outlines key changes incurred, highlights points of concern and offers policy recommendations aimed at remedying some of these concerns.
The September 11 attacks demanded a powerful response, but blanket measures such as roundups and arrests, intimidating interviews, lengthy detention, and special registration requirements are blunt tools.This report offers the most comprehensive compilation and analysis yet of the individuals detained in the wake of September 11, their experiences, and the government's post-September 11 immigration measures.

Hollywood Archaeology: The Super Mario Bros. Movie

An uncomfortably close look at the train wreck that is the Super Mario Bros. film
We've all gone through that moment of weakness where you can't believe the Super Mario Bros. movie is as bad as we remember. Then we try to watch it, or maybe our kids try to watch it, and you realize just how batshit crazy it is. There was a time, however, when the movie was supposed to be a big hit, and everyone was sure of its upcoming success. Sure enough to add a hook for a sequel to the end of the film.
This article goes over what went wrong in detail, including the annoying feeling that kids will shut up and enjoy whatever we shove in front of them. Kids, when it comes to entertainment, can be surprisingly savvy, and they're going to reject a movie that shares nothing with the game, and features an odd-looking Dennis Hopper as Koopa.
If you've ever wondering how many writers, designers, actors, and directors it takes to create a giant steaming piece of shit, this is an amazing read.

Religion in Greece
Before Ottoman rule, Greece was part of the Christian Byzantine Empire. The civil and religious capital of the Roman Empire was moved to New Rome or Constantinople (modern day Istanbul) by Constantine the Great in the 4th century. From this time onwards, the Orthodox Christian faith has flourished and spread throughout Eastern Europe. Even under Turkish rule and repeated attempts at conversion by Jesuits and Protestants, Orthodox Christianity survived and flourished.
The role of the Orthodox Church in maintaining Greek ethnic and cultural identity during the 400 years of Ottoman rule has strengthened the bond between religion and government. Most Greeks, whether personally religious or not, revere and respect the Orthodox Christian faith, attend church and major feast days, and are emotionally attached to Orthodox Christianity as their "national" religion.
Reflecting this, the Greek Constitution on the one hand guarantees absolute freedom of religion while, on the other hand, it defines the "prevailing religion" of Greece as the Eastern Orthodox Church of Christ. In practice, the Orthodox Church as well as the secular state approve jointly any activities related to the building of churches and the Church has succesfully blocked the building of places of worship for other religions in Athens; priests receive state salaries; the President of the Republic takes an oath on the Bible; and Orthodox Christianity is given privileged place in religious studies in primary education. The Church has been allowed to keep its large portfolio of financial assests excempt from taxation and fiscal auditing.
Starting in January 2005, a series of highly publicised corruption scandals involving high rank church officials have led to many calls by secular Greeks for the complete separation of Church from State and greater control of Church assets.
The majority of Greeks (95 to 98%) have at least nominal membership of the Eastern Orthodox Church, although religious observance has declined in recent years. Greek Muslims make up about 1.3% of the population, and live mainly in Thrace. Greece has some Roman Catholics: mainly in the Cyclades islands of Syros, Paros and Naxos; some Protestants and some Jews, mainly in Thessaloniki. Some groups in Greece have started an attempt to reconstruct Hellênismos, the old Greek pagan religion. See also: Greek Orthodox Church.
One small part of Greece, Mount Athos, is recognised by the Greek constitution as an autonomous monastic republic the foreign relations of which, however, remain the prerogative of the Greek state.
Spiritually, Mount Athos is under the Patriarchate of Constantinople and is therefore in communion with all the monasteries on Mount Athos and with the Orthodox Church based in various countries. Only one monastery has recently broken away and has formed a completely independent schism on the Holy Mountain -- Esphygmenou Monastery. Esphygmenou is composed of 117 Zealot monks who stubornly oppose the head of the Church and do not commemorate him any more. They believe that they are the last remaining true Christians in the world and that Orthodoxy has been corrupted by having dialogue with other faiths and object to the lifting of the anathemas against the Roman catholic Church in the 1960's by Patriarch Athenagoras.

Over the past 14 months, the Shop Talk reporters have traveled the Triangle meeting with hundreds of small-business owners in places such as warehouses, coffee shops and on rock-climbing walls. Here are some gift ideas theyve discovered along the way. Find more online at newsobserver.com/shoptalk.
The Brothers Vilgalys Krupnikas
brothersvilgalys.com; $29.95
Where to buy: ABC Stores across the Triangle
The Brothers Vilgalys Krupnikas, a spiced-honey liqueur, landed in local liquor store shelves nearly a year ago. The sweet-sipping, 80-Proof cordial known as Krupnikas has Lithuanian and Polish roots that trace back to the late 1500s. But this 16-spice version was blended in the Triangle by Rimas Vilgalys.
The first time Vilgalys made Krupnikas, he was sharing something special with his friends, just as his father had done. Years later, Vilgalys perfected his recipe and built a company in a space on Ramsuer Street near downtown Durham. This makes a unique gift for a hostess or other adult friend or family member.
Errand Girl gift certificate
$25 per hour plus mileage
Where to buy: Errand Girl office, 4711 Hope Valley Road, Durham; 919-215-3758
Tina Travis started Errand Girl of Durham, a personal concierge service, in 2009 after being laid off from her merchandising job. She got the idea for Errand Girl after she found herself running errands for her neighbors.
Travis said most errand-related jobs take about an hour and a half, which should cover grocery shopping, picking up dry cleaning and putting the items away in the clients cabinets. This is a perfect gift for a busy person who already has it all.
Stitch Golf headcovers
stitchgolf.com; $44.99 to $54.99
Where to buy: Stitch Golfs website and in golf stores and major retailers
Stitch Golf offers leather headcover in a variety of colors and designs. One is inspired by the classic lines of a 1958 Porsche Speedster; another presents a Monte Carlo Gran Prix meets the Americas Cup feel. Theres even one with a skull and crossbones.
Owners Charlie Burgwyn and Steve Pena founded Stitch Golf in 2011 on the premise of creating a Made in the U.S. golf accessory that cost more than hats but less than shirts. The Cary-based companys raw materials and products are sourced and made in North Carolina.
Lucky Accessories Peapod earrings
etsy.com/shop/luckyaccessories; $25-$32
Where to buy: At the Etsy shop and Epona & Oak in Raleigh
Former model Kiona van Rhee worked for years for another local jewelry store owner until she ventured out on her own in 2006.
Now van Rhee has her own Raleigh studio and a thriving Etsy store, which includes her collection of peas in a pod jewelry, which are freshwater pearls wrapped in silver wire. These simple and sweet dangling earrings, made with either one, two, three or four white, metallic or green peas, are an affordable gift for teens and adults with pierced ears.
La Farms signature bread
lafarmbakery.com; $11.99 a loaf, $6.89 a half loaf; $3.99 quarter loaf

3.98/5 rDev +18.1%
Poured from the bottle into a shaker pint glass. No obvious bottle dating,
An opaque copper orange body, with lots of cola rising slow moving carbonation. Head makes a finger off white and soapy. Settles nicely, scattered ring lacing a bit too.
Spicy malt action, mixing with a little bit of orange citrus hop action, even a little bit of mango and juice flesh tropical. Light and airy. Fairly standard but pretty solid.
Juice action continues on the palate. Real solid spicy rye backbone mixes with a tropical juicy hop presence. Good rolling juice mix, with light tropical fruit notes, some mango and even pineapple. Nice lingering spice and bitterness.
A real solid brew, and nicely balanced in its simplicity. Good solid RIPA, quite a surprise and neat find.

4.06/5 rDev +20.5%
22oz bottle, no bottle date anywhere
Pours an amber color with a slight orange tint to it, good sized off-white head, fades at a slow rate, leaves some sticky patches of lacing on the glass.
Smell has a deep malt aroma, some subtle spiciness from the rye, hop presence is pretty decent with a citrusy aspect.
Taste starts out with the citrusy hops and gets mellowed by the caramel malt, some nice rye spiciness adds a nice depth, carbonation is spot on to lend a creamy body to the beer, finishes slightly dry yet also sweet.
Of all the Penobscot Bay beers, so far this is their best to date.

Yes lets look back to the biblical record of Jesus when he was 18. Wait where it is? and were info his early 20′s? Like it was swept under the carpet. I suspect to hide the mischief that he did. There are books from the bible that were omitted that people don't know of. I believe the one (which was omitted that covers his adolescence and teen years) stated that he killed another boy then brought him back to life when confronted. This not quite as interesting as the book of Enoch that states that in the very end Hell with be reformatted and all will go to heaven. A long dead man who edited the book or created an edition still exerting their control over you hundreds of years after they are worm food. How amusing.

Hello, yes you have got it right! Missing books and left out or modified text, basically woman's role downplayed, Jesus had picked after his crucification a woman as his head disciple, but the words were turned around in the final text showed her as a harlot, how's that for a man made Bible. Jesus was not the only child of Mary and Joseph, he also was not a poor kid, the family was very wealthy, they schooled Jesus from a boy to man hood, he was actually supposed to be a Jewish High Priest, how's that for a wakeup call on the Bible, merged together by religious leaders from surrounding area to just standardize the Bible and commissioned by a ruler.

WASHINGTON, Ill. -- The Tazewell County Sheriff's Office is investigating an incident involving a school bus that sent one student to the hospital.
Around 3:00 p.m. Monday, police responded to the corner of Lotus Lane and Dawn Terrace in Washington. A bus monitor told police a male juvenile was involved in an argument on the bus, which led to an altercation outside.
Once the juvenile got off the bus, he struck the rear passenger window with his hand, shattering the glass. An 18-year-old Washington High School student was cut around her eye. She was last listed in good condition at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel says he and Gov. Pat Quinn are "very close" to a deal for a Chicago casino.
Quinn says an agreement could come together by Jan. 9, when new members of the General Assembly will be sworn in to office.
Lawmakers approved legislation earlier this year that would bring casinos to Chicago and four other areas.
Quinn vetoed the bill, saying it didn't include enough ethics protections. The governor also said he wanted money from the gambling expansion to go to education.
Lawmakers considered trying to override the veto this week. They now say their efforts are focused on coming up with a new agreement that Quinn will be willing to sign.
Quinn said he and Emanuel have had several meetings and are working on any remaining differences.

The San Francisco 49ers were embarrassed on Sunday night football last week, falling 29-3 in front of a deafening Seattle Seahawks crowd. Colin Kaepernick muddled through the worst passing game of his career while Richard Sherman and co. blanketed the Niners' wideouts. Despite their struggles, the 49ers remain one of sportsbooks' favorite teams. Vegas is expecting the 49ers to rebound in a big way and has San Fran as a 11.5-point favorite over the Indianapolis Colts, according to Odds Shark.
The Colts are coming off a four-point loss to the Miami Dolphins. Andrew Luck was stymied late by the Dolphins' defense, and the Colts' defense allowed Ryan Tannehill to have an outstanding day, giving up 319 yards passing at 9.4 yards per attempt. The newly-acquired Trent Richardson's role for the game has yet to be determined.
With both teams coming off shaky performances, the 49ers are no doubt being getting an edge for playing at home. The Colts will have to cross two time zones to get to Candlestick Park. The 49ers are 16-6-1 against the spread in their last 23 games at home.
The over-under for the game is currently set at 46 points, making a 28-18 score a push, assuming a 11.5-point spread.

Britannia silver
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
Britannia silver is an alloy of silver containing 95.84% silver, with the balance usually copper.
This standard was introduced in England by Act of Parliament in 1697 to replace sterling silver (92.5% silver) as the obligatory standard for items of "wrought plate". The lion passant gardant hallmark denoting sterling was replaced with "the figure of a woman commonly called Britannia", and the leopard's head mark of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths replaced with a "lion's head erased".
Britannia standard silver was introduced by the English government as part of the great recoinage scheme of William III from 1696, when attempts were made to limit the clipping and melting of sterling silver coinage. It was thought that by maintaining a higher standard for plate, there would be less incentive to put the newly issued sterling coins in the melting pot.
Sterling silver was approved again for use by silversmiths from 1 June 1720, and thereafter Britannia silver has remained an optional standard for silver assay in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Since the hallmarking changes of 1 January 1999, Britannia silver has been denoted by the millesimal fineness hallmark 958, with the symbol of Britannia being applied optionally.
The silver bullion coins of the Royal Mint issued since 1997, known as "Britannias" for their reverse image, were minted in Britannia standard silver until 2012.
Britannia silver should be distinguished from Britannia metal, a pewter-like alloy containing no silver.
