Thanks to Gameindustry.biz for the scoop.
Well it seems the good times are indeed rolling at Nintendo. What with the launch of the Wii coming up in a couple of weeks, things are certainly looking good at the big N these days. But enough about the Wii, let's talk about the incredible success of the Nintendo DS, which single-handedly has given Nintendo a near 50% raise in profits over the past half year. Let's crunch some numbers shall we?
Profits at the big N for the period ending September 30th were at Yen 54.35 billion, which is up from Yen 36.6 billion last year. Revenues during that same period sky rocketed over 70% higher to hit Yen 298.8 billion - while operating profit tripled to Yen 67.11 billion. That's a whole lotta cash there.
Of course Nintendo attributes all this great financial news to the DS handheld, duh. 10.9 million units were sold during the first half of 2006, compared to 3.57 million units during the same period last year. As per these numbers, the big N has upped the shipping forecast for this year to 20 million units shipped of the DS handheld, up from the predicted 17 million by the end of this financial year. Nintendo also says it will ship even more games than predicted, going from only 7.5 million units of software shipped, to 8.2 million units.
There is still no change however to the predicted Wii numbers, Nintendo still expects to ship and sell 6 million Wii consoles by the end of 2006, along with 17 million games.
Good marketing? Or just good games and good hardware? The Nintendo DS is certainly proving to be an extremely good cash cow for Nintendo.
4 Comments
it really goes to show that impressive graphics aren't all that matters, finding unique and fun ways to interact with the game really shows that a lot of people aren't all about eye candy. Its was almost like the DS was a test run for the new way of thinking Nintendo had. With its success they now know that people will not only adapt to new styles of play, but actually flow to it. its great to see some major innovation in console gaming, it certainly hasn't been seen in a very long time.
It is good hardware and good games. Nintendo Is starting to do their consoles liek their handhelds wich should make them even more money. Hopefully it continues.

Digging: Rinoa - An Age Among Them
Karl's spoken word is a little too close to Frankie Palermi's for my liking on this
Can't wait to give this a listen.
Don't know why Chuck's avoiding this. He's the biggest Mis Sigs fanboy on the site.
this is great for sure, easy to listen to but also not mindless
How similar is this to controller?
Ehh yeah I guess I am. Me or Tomas for sure, but idk, too djenty.Digging: Palm Reader - Bad Weather
Digging: Palm Reader - Bad Weather
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffHow similar is this to controller?
Relatively, the riffing is a similar style and the vocals are the same obviously. A bit more preachy lyrically though.
really? I thought the general idea of the lyrics is agnosticism
Yeah its about atheism, preachy is not the word to use there buddy.
"Relatively, the riffing is a similar style and the vocals are the same obviously. A bit more preachy lyrically though."
Damn i'll probably just skip this as I am not a huge fan of Controller
Also, the riffing is not the same from what I've heard. Entirely different actually.
it's really not very similar other than vocally of course
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offagree to disagree, I could imagine a few of these being on a Mis Sigs album.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffAlso lyrically, this example seems a pretty strong indication of athiesm.
Pure ignorance is your curse
Or is it your cross to bear
Hold on to your savior
Now go ahead and pray for tomorrow
For a day that will never come
Pray for tomorrow
Pray for the day that will never fucking come
Yeah, exactly why you wouldn't use to the word preachy

sometimes it seems more agnostic to me

Services offering support to teenage mums
Updated 4:30pm Friday 11th April 2014 in News By Sally Clifford, T&A Reporter
Perceptions of teenage pregnancy are beginning to change.
At one time, becoming pregnant at such a young age was viewed as a route to living a life on benefits, but contrary to popular belief, many young girls who find themselves in this position have ambitions they want to strive for and they do go on and achieve.
Reanne Moore fell pregnant with her first child at the age of 16. Her daughter, Hollie, is now two, and nine months ago Reanne gave birth to Lilah.
Despite having two young daughters, Reanne is eager to gain the qualifications she missed out on at school. While supported through her education, she was heavily pregnant while taking her GCSEs and suffering severe sickness.
The 19-year-old is now making up for lost time and with her childcare in place, she is currently studying for a business and admin qualification and hopes to embark on an access to midwifery course with a view to making it her fulltime career.
Helping others in a similar situation is another ambition and Reanne is now proving a valuable asset as a peer mentor for teenage parents accessing the family support service at Wyke Community and Children's Centre.
"Just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you are just a mum," says Reanne, who was introduced to the centre through Tic Tac (Teenage Information Centre, Teenage Advice Centre).
Tic Tac developed as part of the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy and offers preventative support and advice for teenagers on issues such as sexual health and relationships.
Its arrival at the centre in 2009 came at a time when Wyke had been earmarked as one of five 'hotspot' wards in Bradford with high rates of teenage conceptions.
However, failure to secure further funding has led to the loss of Tic Tac within the Wyke centre at the end of this month, prompting fears that the area could see an increase in teen pregnancies once again.
"My biggest fear for young people who are not already teen parents is that they will not have access to support services we offer and, potentially, in five years time it will be a hotspot ward again," says Amanda Richardson, Tic Tac co-ordinator and family support worker within the centre.
The area still benefits from a CASH (Contraception and Sexual Health) clinic based at Sunnybank Medical centre, and support for teenage parents is offered through the family support at the children's centre, but Tic Tac also has an important role offering advice and support to young people who choose to be sexually active.
"It's about giving them the skills they need to make healthier choices for themselves and once Tic Tac goes that work will stop," says Amanda.
"Tic Tac is making sure we don't have lots of young parents coming through; that young people are well educated; that they have the information to make informed health choices for themselves and that if they choose to become sexually active they look after their sexual health."
The work of organisations such as Tic Tac is evidently proving effective. According to recent data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the under-18 conception rate remains the lowest since 1969 at 27.9 per 1,000 women aged 15 to 17.
The number of pregnancies in those under 18 fell to 27,834 in 2012 compared with 31,051 in 2011 – a ten per cent drop.
In Bradford, the rate of pregnancy among teenagers across the city and district has fallen again according to the latest three year averages released recently by the Government.
According to the statistics, Bradford has the lowest rate for conceptions among under-18s in West Yorkshire.
Between 2010-2012 there was an average of 31.1 conceptions per 1,000 girls aged under 18, compared to 34.7 between 2009 and 2011 and 40.7 between 2008 and 2010.
Tracey McNeill, senior vice president at Marie Stopes UK Ltd, says: "It is encouraging to see teenage pregnancy rates continuing to decline; however, we still have high rates compared with many other western European countries and we must do all we can to keep the momentum going.
"The evidence is clear that when men and women of all ages are given sex and relationships education, coupled with access to a variety of contraceptive methods, real reductions in unintended pregnancy rates, and consequently abortion rates, can be achieved.
"We need to continue to prioritise sexual health to ensure that the future conception rates reach an all-time low."

Now that we have our own yard and garden @ccclosmore thought it would be smart to get each of us @Crocs so we can leave them outside instead of tracking stuff back into the apartment. Today these arrived. A green pair for @ccclosmore, a purple pair for me and a black pair for @human_refuse who swears he'll never wear them, but he will. Downside, @crocs mailed me 2 purple left feet which kinda took the fun out of receiving them. Now to add dealing with returns to my todo list.
Over the last couple weeks of turning the soil in the garden and planting I've come across a lot of random things. I've found a bizarre amount of glass, shoelaces, marbles and electronics - all had to be disposed of, but today I came across this little guy and I think I'll keep him.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — State Sen. Ron Calderon surrendered to authorities days after being charged with corruption, and he's facing new calls for him to resign.
He pleaded not guilty to more than two-dozen charges of corruption, including fraud, bribery and money laundering allegations.
At about the same time that Calderon was in handcuffs in a Los Angeles federal court, lawmakers in Sacramento were leaving a closed-door meeting where they decided to give Calderon another week to resign his senate seat, or face a vote to suspend him.
Republicans, including Sen. Bob Huff, are wanting action soon, saying the week timeline is appropriate.
But Calderon's attorney Mark Geragos warned against a rush to judgements.
"Generally what's put into an affidavit doesn't bear any resemblance to what actually happens in a courtroom," he said. So before anyone starts jumping to conclusions, we need to get the actual discovery."

Main motif fear not
4:26pm Monday 21st May 2012 in Letters
MR John Gale draws attention to the irresponsible use of 'phobic' terms by politicians, newspaper columnists and others. When I hear statements such as 'society is now much more tolerant of ...' I wonder whether what society thinks is not actually known, because society is not saying anything for the reasons given by Mr Gale. As he mentions the Bible, might I make a suggestion?
Those who ridicule Genesis also fail to detect the sublime truths contained in it. The first words spoken by Adam after the fall are, "I was afraid." Human society is thus dominated by the fear factor. When Jesus invited folk to bring themselves again within the orbit of God's love, his main motif was "Fear not."

There is ice cream and there is good Ice Cream. And then there is Kungsholmens Glassfabrik, "The Ice Cream Factory of Kungsholmen" in Swedish, who plays in a league of its own. I come here as often as possible, even in the winter time, to get a taste of the mint and lime sorbet. This ice cream mojito is indescribable, amazing, perfect and totally incredible. And then they have at least 20 more kinds of sorbet and ice cream – impossible to choose and impossible to not love!
The location on one of the steepest hills on Kungsholmen is somewhat odd, but not far away from Norr Mälarstrand (check the Norr Mälarstrand article). In the summertime many locals buy their ice cream at Kungsholmens Glassfabrik and then take a walk along Norr Mälarstrand. Do that, and be sure to order a big ice cream otherwise you will have finished it once you reach the water. Of course they have coffee too, and if the weather is bad you can stay indoors and read a magazine while enjoying your treat.

We have struck gold again! Like lucky prospectors we have stumbled upon a real gem and can't believe our good fortune. Olaf and Rosetta had posted a last minute request and, of the three in the area, who would take us at short notice, they were the first to respond. They have a 3 hectare property tucked 'invisibly' into the rolling hills and dry scrub just north of Monchique in inland Algarve. The land gently slopes down from a fresh water well and dammed swimming lake ...
Atlantic rollers....surf paradise in a Peugeot
... and Pembroke's geology. We swam (waded about in waist high freezing cold waves pounded by breaking froth) every morning and made coffee and porridge on our little stove on the sand. Popped to Internet cafes, to no avail and then walked and explored clifftop and beach until sunset. We cooed at the huge red orb dropping below the horizon and cooked chilli chickpeas, rice and pasta in some of the most breathtaking locations ...

Quiet day today, as we had to find a place to watch the France - Germany game before 5. In hindsight I'm not so sure why we bothered, the game was largely soporiphic. The only comfort is that the Portuguese seemed to be rooting for us, thanks guys! But anyways the campsite is nice and family oriented, the swimming pool is big, and ...
Tourists of the south coast

The Edge of Europe
Today we reached the end of Europe, to be precise the southwestermost point on the continent mainland, the Cape of Saint Vincent :). A barren place with tall cliffs directly above the sea, the only human landmark being a lighthouse, a few trucks/shops selling wool pullovers and bratwurst(!), and fishermen fishing fish from the top of the cliff(!!). So, after reaching a dead end on the north - south axis, we switched to the west - east one, in the direction of ...

8/20/1938 - Indians catch record baseballs
Frank Pytlak and Henry Helf, two catchers for the Cleveland Indians, both catch a baseball thrown to them from the top of Cleveland's Terminal Tower, 708 feet from the ground. The grabs shattered the previous record for the highest catch from a structue, which had previously been held by Gabby Street, who caught a ball from the top of the Washington Monument 30 years earlier. Mathematicians estimated that the balls Helf and Pytlak caught were coming in at almost 140 MPH.
"For a while I didn't know if the ball was going to hit me in the head or my glove," said Pytlak. "When I caught it, it stung more than Bob Feller's fastball."
"It was a sports item for two or three days," Helf said of the catch in 1985. "Then it was forgotten."
8/20/2005 - Herrion dies of heart illness
San Francisco 49ers lineman Thomas Herrion dies after being taken to the hospital. Herrion, 23, had only played a few minutes of a preseason game against the Broncos, it was only 65 degrees outside, and Herrion appeared to be acting and moving normal. Many were baffled at how a seemingly-healthy NFL player could suddenly drop dead. However, an autopsy revealed that Herrion Ischaemic heart disease -- an illness brought on by a reduction of blood traveling through the heart.
Herrion's death revisited the obesity issue started from Korey Stringer's death in 2001, mainly if the NFL was too tolerant to overweight players. At the time of his death, Herrion weighed in at 310 pounds -- 100 pounds over his Body Mass Index. A large contributor to his particular heart disease was clogged arteries, something that while not directly linked to his death was certainly perceived to be a source.

I visited Germany several years ago during the Summer and stopped by the Hofbrau in Munich, but this beer was not on tap. However, I also visted the Chinesischer Turm which also had Hofbrau beers on tap. What really surprised me is that the CT had (this?) Hofbrau bock beer on tap! In my broken German I asked if the bock beer was the Maibock. The server told me it was pretty much the same beer as the Maibock. Accordingly, I will go ahead and review this beer as the Maibock. This brew was incredible! It had all of the "German maltiness" you would expect in a German bock beer. It was soooo drinkable, it was crazy. I long for this beer back in the states, but I doubt we'll ever get the real thing.

Decent off-yellow hue, 1/2 inch white bubbly head, maintains it's presence throughout. Caramel everything on the nose; also some notes of green apple and Saaz hops. A rather impressive front. Toasty and oily malts; some charcoal notes come through as well (?). Large carbonation and a near rib-sticking affect. The body rounds off nicely; the aformentioned Saaz hops turn sweet and aromatic. Kisses of alcohol are noted near the end with sweet bready-like malt offerings. Clearly one of the best maibocks out there.

This pours a very clear brownish amber, with maybe a finger and a half of foam. The aroma is not too strong, just a bit of alcohol and a bit of maltiness.
I found this to be a very tasty brew. This has a strong backbone maltiness, with a bit of nuttiness, just about perfectly balanced by the hops.

Appearance: This beer pours a nice dark copper color with noticeably amber hues as well (especially when held up to a light). A nice thick head with only moderately decent retention, as it quickly turns into a thin but persistent lace.
Smell: A very sweet aroma with strong notes of honey and a hint of alcohol. Hop aroma is present too, but only barely.
Taste and Mouthfeel: This is honestly THE smoothest Bock I have ever had. Despite being strong and full-flavored, it is remarkably drinkable. The mouthfeel is moderately thick (not oily, but not runny and thin either). Toffee and caramel flavors come through very clearly. The taste of honey is present too, but it more noticeable in the beers aroma really. Finally, both a strong hint of alcohol and a much more subtle hop bitterness become noticeable in the after taste.
This is seriously one of the best Bocks I have ever had. What makes it so exceptional is that it so rich, with such a robust and delicious flavor BUT, at the same time, it is so unbelievably smooth and drinkable! This one is a real treat!!!!

I like Mabocks...and I LIKE this one...pours a clean, deep gold color....soft white head....nose is fantastic...sweet bready maltiness....also hints of honey and vanilla....Taste is big on the maltiness....more toasty in taste...crisp....some spicy hoppping finishes the deal....High ABV is mostly hidden...slightly noticable on the long finish but it adds to the spicy finish..
This is one of the best Maibocks I've had....perhaps the BEST maibock I have had...I love the way it smells and tastes....a high quality beer worth seeking out...
Big giant thanks to Budgood1 for this top notch Maibock experience..

This is an excellent maibock, flavourful, with a well-rounded character and nice complexity of balancing elements.
Reddish copper, it has a medium-large off-white head slowly shrinking to a thin permanent top and leaving a little weak lace.
The aroma is a rich, wonderful maibock character: strong sweet toasted bread, whole wheat, thick raisiny-fruity alcohol, leaves and brown sugar.
The taste is similar: rich, dark raisiny alcohol and spiciness, rich sweet toasted bread, leaves (faintly tea-like), dried fruit. It has nice full sweetness with a light spicey-leafy bitterness and dried-fruit spiciness. The elements balance nicely and last, maintaining lasting character and it has a full, frothy feel.

This is probably the first on-tap review for the Newport location, which opened April 30, 2003. If you haven't had it here, come on down before they swap it out for the next seasonal!
Reddish Iced-tea color. Bubbly, airy 1-finger head with good retention and lacing.
The nose is very malty, slightly sweet.
Taste backs up the smell to a tee. Of course the alcohol presence is more detectable than in the other Newport varieties I've tried tonight. Full, delicious malt flavor, little if any hop bite. Of course, by this time my palate has taken a good beating, if I try this sooner next time I may detect more hop. Great flavor retention on the aftertaste with some caramel in there as well.
Very smooth and full feeling in the mouth, almost chewy. Perhaps the best tasting beer of the night, or maybe it's just that full-bodiedness that I like.
At 7.2%, I don't know how many liters you can expect to salt away. I stopped at one and made a note to myself to try the Dunkel while I could still write. I tried it, but the taste buds were too dulled out to make it worth reviewing. Guess I'll be doing the Dunkel first next time!

Maibock is one of my favorite styles. This Maibock delivers great aroma, beautiful color and ample carbonation. Poured from a (green!) bottle into a standard pint glass.
A: OMG. wow. Beautiful amber with bubble carbonation. Nice two finger head that quickly dissipates into a 1/8" disk. wispy lacing.
S: No sign of green bottle stigma. Slightly caramel malty with what I can only describe as the smoothest mild hop smell.
T: smooth draught with a bit of bite, then malty biscuit sweetness. Lightly bitter finish.
M: not overly filling, medium carbonation. velvety smooth and slightly sweet.
D: I could sip this all day if I had the time. Love it!

Whew! This is as close to perfect as a Maibock can be!
Dark, but not too dark, a strong urine-y DMS presence, but not too much, enough earthy noble hops to make their presence known without overpowering the malt, malt, malt of this brew.
Whew! And the alcohol is nowhere in sight. Deliciously complex in its simplicity, there is something for everybody here.
Well done.

Had this on tap at Redbones last night, and it was so tasty, I had two. Medium clear amber when served, no head. Sweet, very pleasant biscuity aroma. Mouthfeel is outstanding: medium to full, with just the right amount of carbonation. Taste is slightly sweet form the malt, and you get this nice little hop bite in the finish. Very good, I had two in a row and would get again.

A federal judge in Tucson has refused to block new Arizona rules limiting the use of the most common abortion drugs.
The ruling by Judge David C. Bury means that new restrictions will take effect Tuesday.
The rules are among the most stringent in the nation. They ban pill-induced abortions after seven weeks of pregnancy, compared with the current nine-week restriction.
Planned Parenthood Arizona and the private abortion clinic Tucson Women's Center say the rules are unconstitutional and severely infringe on a woman's ability to have an abortion. They sued earlier this month to temporarily block the new rules
The rules were released in January by the Arizona Department of Health Services.
Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Steven H. Aden issued the following statement regarding multiple new legal setbacks for Planned Parenthood in Arizona, Alabama, and Kansas:
"Planned Parenthood's efforts to put their profits ahead of the safety of women and children continue to fail. From Arizona to Alabama to Kansas, America's largest abortion seller has not succeeded so far in its opposition to common-sense laws that put women's health and well-being ahead of Planned Parenthood's bottom line."

Suns general manager Ryan McDonough: 'We'd like to have' Channing Frye back next season
Originally published: Apr 16, 2014 - 6:55 pm
After missing all of 2012-13 due to an enlarge heart, Frye became the only Sun to not only play but start all 82 games this season, averaging in 11.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in the process.
But the Suns don't necessarily have all the control when it comes to a potential return.
Frye signed a five-year, $30 million contract back in July 2010, however the 30-year-old holds a player option for the fifth year worth $6.8 million.
So the question is, will he pick it up this summer?
"I don't know, you'd have to ask Channing," Suns general manager Ryan McDonough told Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's Burns & Gambo Wednesday. "We'd like to have him back either way. If he picks up the option, that's great. It's remarkable. He's going to be the one guy who is going to start every game for us this year."
While Frye has certainly endured his fair share of shooting slumps this season, the mere fact that he was able to make a full return to the court was a victory in and of itself.
Additionally, the stretch four proved to be an important figure in Phoenix's locker room, providing leadership and guidance to a roster filled with young blood.
"Obviously, you're well aware of the uncertainty going into even training camp," said McDonough. "We found out a day or two before training camp that he was going to be cleared to play. None of us knew how long it would take him to get in shape. He hadn't played in a year-and-a-half, and then comes up against Portland in the preseason and hits five threes. He then becomes our starter on Opening Night.
"It's been a remarkable recovery for him, and obviously it goes beyond basketball. We're just happy that he's healthy and proud of the year he's had."
