Twilight Princess reminds you why you began playing games in the first place.
Mixing the classic Zelda formula with a more mature tale, Twilight Princess is an epic of the highest caliber that gamers will not want to miss.
The greatest Zelda game ever created and one of the best launch titles in the history of launch titles – second only, perhaps, to the at-the-time ground-breaking "Super Mario 64." It is also one of the finest games I have ever played.
The game is huge and you may not even get to the first dungeon for hours.
While some are sure to brand it 'stale', Twilight Princess succeeds in being not only a superb game, but also one that can appeal to both new and seasoned Zelda players at the same time - something we feel time will show to be a very difficult thing to achieve. [Christmas 2006, p.116]
Fans of the series will be delighted by the recurring themes, but may be soured by a strong sense of repetition.

Nov 16, 2011A game that is as near to perfection as a wii game is possible to get. The storyline was fantastic. and expanded on the game play of OOT. The appearance of the regular series villain was also good to see. The art direction was a nice choice on the part of Nintendo, giving fans the more cinematic approach they really wanted, after the Wind Waker's cartoony look. the only downside to that was that being a wii Game it did not have HD capabilities meaning jagged edges and blurriness. The only faults the game has is being too easy, apart from that the level designs are excellent, and the bosses are fun. I had a jolly good time playing it!… Expand
Nov 13, 2012Sometimes I wonder how many times Nintendo can remake the same game and keep me interested. I have to say, this time it does work.
This game excels exactly where it needed to and improved the Zelda series imensly. Anyone who puts an older Zelda game over this one is either insane, or living in the past.
Gameplay: 10. The way this game uses the Wii Remote system is great. I will say the little fairy that shows up on screen can get annoying, but it helps show you were you are aiming your weapon (that and you can turn it off). I loved how the weapon system works, esp. how the B button is used for easy access to weapon use (compared to the old C buttons). The Story line is very developed and interesting. The weapons are well developed and the new weapons to the series are fun. Overall, the only issue may be the difficulty in bosses once you figure out how to beat them, but, personally, its an improvement over some of the past games that frustrate the heck out of you, even if you know how to beat them. Besides the bosses, the AI is pretty good for the other enemies. Graphics: 10. The graphic and attention to detail in this game is great. Look at any of the temple bosses and it makes my point. They may be easy, but when you first see them, you have to take a second to really appreciate they greatness. The people look good, so do the Enemies.
Sound: 10. Now some complain about the music because of its "dated" sound. I love it. I like the remake of all of the old songs and the additions to the old tracks with new ones (esp. the song played at night in Hyrule Field). The sounds out of the Wii Remote sound alittle funny, but overall add to the game.
Value: 10. This is a game that you will spend some time on. The Puzzles are very well done and you will have to wander around and think about many of them. Tilt: 10. I love Zelda games. Alway have, Always will. This game is no exception. When I am at work huming the theme songs, and my little brother is having dreams of defeating Gannon weeks before we got the game, you know we are excited. This game lives up to the expectiations. Period, and is definatly the best game out right now, esp. for Wii. This game might be the best one I have ever played.… Expand
Nov 16, 2013By far one of the best Zelda games I've ever played. The story-line is engaging, not only humorous at times but filled with suspension, surprise and seriousness. It is long, yes, but never a bore. You always have something to be done, some new scenario to deal with. The players have stories of their own which you venture into, the combat is unique based on enemy resistance/attack methods. This is an absolute must-have, I recommend strongly!… Expand
Apr 30, 2011Story (9/10)
The story is well written, straight-forward, as well as filled with many dark secrets and questions. It takes you to many, many environments like deserts, underwater temples, snowy mountains, with many medieval themed settings.
Graphics (8/10)
The graphics were, and to this day; probably the best graphics in a wii game of all time. The textures are sharp, the polygons are plentiful and lighting is accurate. Although the bloom sometimes make it TOO soft; blending foreground objects with background objects.
Gameplay (9/10)
There are many chests of goodies to find around the game, many tools that are gained throughout the story, and the wii-pointer controls bring a perspective of accuracy no other game can accomplish. The only problem is that you have to swing the wii remote in order to do attacks with the sword; which i think makes the combat a bit clumsy.
Sound (7/10)
The score is both good and lacking. There are some very iconic and original pieces that almost define the entire game; and there are pieces of music that is just plain noise.
Overall (9/10)
When looking at the game as a whole; the pros easily weigh out the cons. If you like a good story; this game will not disappoint… Expand
Nov 12, 2011Twilight Princess gave us so many things that Ocarina of Time instilled, and added enough that resulted in an amazing game. I would be lying if I said this game was a masterpiece because in my opinion, there were some problems in terms of pacing and although the graphics appeared great at some points, at other points, the game was covered with bland textures. Despite this, the more darker look of the game fits the darker theme of the game perfectly. Link's wolf form is a very welcome addition, despite some tedious collecting points in the game. The story in Twilight Princess is epic as hell, again revealing a darker side to the series. If I could give this game somewhere between a 9 and 10 on metacritic, I would but I can't so, I will settle for the lesser of the scores, because again the game, at least for me is not considered a masterpiece, but is an amazing experience.… Expand
Jan 18, 2013excellent solid title. Midna is a great character in the game. Wolf Link is a lot of fun and very different. The temples and items in this game are amazing. The dark plot makes it feel like an old school Zelda title in a new generation and time. Better than Skyward Sword in my opinion.… Expand
Jun 8, 2011This was a terrible game in comparison to OoT and Majoras Mask, I am ashamed at the direction Nintendo went with this
Too easy bosses, no love at all
Does not deserve such a high rating, I beat it once and have no desire ever to touch it again… Expand

WEST Bromwich Albion stars have urged sports clubs in Cradley Heath, Rowley Regis, Blackheath and Oldbury to apply for a £500 grant from Sandwell Council.
WBA players Youssouf Mulumbu and Thievy Bifouma met Sandwell Council's leisure boss Councillor Paul Moore to unveil a new grant scheme to encourage more people to play sport.
Cllr Moore said: "Sports clubs play a major role in helping people young and old stay fit and healthy. This money can be used for host of reasons to boost participation in sports across Sandwell.
"I urge sports clubs from across the borough to get in touch and tell us how they want to use this money to get more people in Sandwell active."
The scheme will run for 12 months and applications will be assessed by a panel of councillors, council officers, voluntary sector representatives and local partners.
The first round of entries will take place from 1 April to 30 June and the maximum grant available is £500.
Rob Lake, Albion Foundation director, said: "It's fantastic news that the council are making this funding available for sports clubs. Sandwell's clubs have been waiting a long time for an opportunity like this and I know it will be well received."
For more information about the scheme and applications visit www.sandwell.gov.uk/cashforclubs or phone 0121 569 3467.

AIA celebrates John Henderson
Original post made by Hal Bailey on Oct 1, 2009
I was not aware of John's death until I read Alamo Today, October 2009 issue, Paqe 26.
John Henderson, like so many primary contributors to the AIA, set the bar for community in Alamo and courtesy among neighbors. John left many talented AIA board and committee members to carry on the importance of independent community relations and advisory with governments in our region including Contra Costa County departments and district 3.
I would hope that John's family will understand the celebration of John's very personal contribution to Alamo and our region by neighborhoods. Many neighbors are now voicing applause among the e-exchanges.
With more applause,

|This article does not cite any references or sources. (November 2013)
A confession is a statement made by a person or a group of people acknowledging some personal fact that the person (or the group) would prefer to keep hidden. The term is generally associated with an admission of a moral or legal wrong. A legal confession is an admission of some wrongdoing that has legal consequence, while a confession in religion is usually more akin to a ritual by which the person acknowledges thoughts or actions considered sinful or morally wrong within the confines of the confessor's religion. Socially, however, the term may refer to admissions that are neither legally nor religiously significant.
Confession from a religious perspective has implications of freedom from guilt and promises made in Gods Word for salvation. Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved". KJV Romans 10:10 "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation:.KJV
Confession is NOT being sorry for being caught. Confession is being honest about how wrong you have been and seeking to restore your relationship.

Feeling adventurous? Cross the Cumberland River and venture into East Nashville, a once-gritty area where trendy shops and restaurants have popped up along streets lined by humble bungalows. In the Five Points neighborhood, Wonders on Woodland has two floors full of antique furnishings, toys and tchotchkes. Next door is the Five Points Collaborative, a pedestrian lane lined with boutiques selling gifts and men's and women's clothes. While you roam the area, you might hear I Dream of Weenie calling your name. It's an old VW van converted into a hot dog wagon, dishing up such delicacies as a mac-and-cheese weenie and the "Frank and to the Point."
Not far from here is another good lunch spot: Pharmacy Burger Parlor and Beer Garden, serving Tennessee beef burgers, salmon burgers, sausages and ice cream sodas. And, for your caffeine fix, make your way to Nashville's ultimate coffee bar: the cutting-edge Barista Parlor, which targets coffee connoisseurs with state-of-the-art brewing technology. With its hip interior, dominated by a stunning ship mural by local artist Bryce McCloud, this former car-repair shop could be the coolest place to hang out in Nashville.
Like we said, the Music City offers much more than music these days.

114.psd Type [Mac]
Created by our own Emilio Gomariz (CAN posts) with sound by Dylan Fisher , 114.psd Type is a simple typography designed with the help of Mac OS X, a progression from Folder Type piece Emilio created 2 years ago. The idea for this type came in when seeing that this operative system remembers the position of any file or window when you minimize and maximize it. He created 114 photoshop files (using only six colors). He then placed and ordered the files in the right position before minimizing them in the dock. From then on, a form of performance, where Emilio opens one by one from the dock.

- Camouflage [Mac] Do you find that no matter how hard you try your mac desktop always seems to get cluttered with dozens of icons, screengrabs, links, folders?  Instead of tolerating your messy desktop until you find time to clean up, why not just hide all the icons? This is where Camouflage comes in. Camouflage is a menu item that when clicked hides all the items on your desktop. With another click you can bring them all back when you decide its time for spring cleaning. In addition to day to day clean look we all aspire to, its great for presentations when you don't want your audience to know what else you are working on. In addition to being able to specify your custom desktop when you hide those icons, you can also set that with a single click on your clean desktop you can launch a finder window. Very useful if you are one of those people that keep closing that one window and having to always go back to the menu bar or finder icon in the dock to launch a new one. You can grab Camouflage here for your new spotless desktop. Platform: Mac OSX Cost: Donationware Developer: Brik Software Download [xrr […]
- Twistori [Mac, WebApp] Inspired by wefeelfine and created by amy hoy and thomas fuchs of slash7, Twistori is a Twitter visualizer that shows you the current conversations on Twitter filtered by "Love", "Hate", "Think", "Believe", "Feel" and "Wish" keywords. Also available is the mac screensaver and an app for Mac that allows you to specify your own search keywords. Twistori Desktop Version for Mac is available for $12 but you can download the trial and have a play for free. You can create temporary or ongoing searches for keywords on twitter: things you like, your brand name, your project's names, things your group is interested in. Combine those search words in playlists to group them together. A simple but wonderful way to search Twitter. twistori.com For more interesting Twitter projects see A Different Twitter […]

- Plainview [Mac] Plainview is a full-screen web browser built using Cocoa and WebKit for Mac OSX. Perfect for presentations or websites or just fast, focused browsing without anything else getting in the way. Whilst it does not include tabs, multiple screens are available. By pressing the known Command+T on the keyboard will bring up a bezel showing your other windows. If you need access to the location window, it's available with Command+L. History and Bookmarks are included, also accessible using shortcut keys. If you ever need to resort to the menu-bar, moving your mouse to the top of the screen will display the menu with all the options you would expect. In addition Plainview has a presentation mode – so you can build a presentation of, say, 10 sites you've built, and then show them one by one. If you found Firefox or Safari just not being the best tools for full screen browsing or presentations, Plainview might be just the thing. Try it. Platform: Mac OSX Version: 1.0.151 Cost: Freeware Developer: Barbarian […]
- RibbonPaint [Cinder, Mac] Created by Mario Gonzalez and currently in development, RibbonPaint is a drawing application for OSX. Instead of resorting to traditional brushes, RibbonPaint uses a ribbon like shape, always deforming as a drawing element. As you move your cursor across the screen you are continuously deforming the ribbon (the brush), trails are left behind on mouse down. Different colour modes are also included although I thought I'd stick to black and white with my examples, too beautiful to spoil with colour (right click - open in new windows for full size goodness). The idea behind RibbonPaint is to create a paint brush that could not exist in real life. Based on the movement of a ribbon, a small hand movement is exaggerated as the energy moves outward. Amplifying relative force on each segment, while decaying its absolute force. It is inspired by a few young kids I saw playing in the park with long ribbons during the summer. Applications includes 9 parameters that can be modified; BristleCount ( how many bristles the brush will contain ), BrushRadius ( radius of the brush), FilamentSpacing ( space between each brush filament - note it fans out toward the ends ), FilimentCount ( how many brush filaments ), FrictionMin ( how the brush moves ), FrictionMax ( how the brush moves ), Gravity ( applies constant downward force to the brush ), ChaseSpeed ( how fast the ribbon chases your mouse ), Alpha ( Opacity of ribbon when painting ). In addition, pressing the letter S will save a PNG file to your home folder alongside with a text file that contains all your settings. Should you want to use those settings again, all you need to do is drag and drop the .txt file onto application's windows (thank you Cinder!). Available soon at ribbonpaint.com Created […]
- IOGraphica [Mac, Windows, Linux] Formerly known as MousePath, IOGraphica was created by Moscow designer Anatoly Zenkov to brighten up the routine work. Posting it at Flickr caused informal interest and afterward Anatoly Zenkov and his colleague Andrey Shipilov decided to evolve the app. IOGraphica is an application that tracks your mouse movements and converts them into a single image showing all the paths you have made with your mouse. The idea is that you just run it and do your usual day stuff at the computer. Go back to IOGraph after a while and grab a nice picture of what you've done. Besides the mouse path, the application also tracks your idle time, displaying it as circles of varying radius depending of how much time you spent away from the computer. You can either use blank canvas or tell application to capture your current desktop as an underlay. Find out more info + download Mac, Windows or Linux (java) versions of the app, see […]
- LastHistory [Mac] LastHistory allows you to analyze music listening histories from Last.fm through an interactive visualization and to explore your own past by combining the music you listened to with your own photos and calendar entries. It is available as a desktop application for Mac OS X v10.5 or higher. Included are two modes, optimized for a different use case. Analysis Mode can be used for interactively analyzing an arbitrary listening history (not necessarily your own) in three basic dimensions: time, tracks and genre. Integrated tools like searching, playlist highlighting, mouse-over information, and zooming allow to generate insight for the visualized music listening history in each of those dimensions. Personal Mode adapts the visualization shown in Analysis mode for exploring your own past: by adding photos from your iPhoto library and calendar entries from iCal to the visualization, you can reminisce about your past by listening to the top tracks from your last vacation while watching a slide show of the corresponding photos. You can download the Mac OSX application by visiting the website or play with the source code which is available on GitHub. LastHistory The application was created as part of Frederik Seiffert's thesis (Diplomarbeit) at the Media Informatics Group of the University of Munich, supervised by Dominikus […]
- Spunk [Sound, Mac] Created by The Strange Agency, Spunk is granular synthesis using a particle system. The app that runs on OSX only for now allows you modify number of active particles, their lifetime, number, gravity and mass. You can also adjust the container size, the invisible box within which particles react. See movie below. The app is still in development and the video you see below marks version 0.11. I kind of like the name too =] thestrangeagency.com In case you missed previous work by The Strange Agency, check out their iPhone/iPad apps as mentioned previously on CAN: Sound Scope Space [iPhone]: Waveform synthesizer Spoke [iPhone, Sound]: New sound toy / drum machine scratchpad Slice [iPhone, Sound]: Slice, chop, rearrange, loop, echo beat ... // UPDATE 22.10.2010: Now available for download here. The concept is this: each particle acts as a playhead, moving across a swath of sound. Presently the Y axis is temporal position, while the X axis is pan position. There is an attractor bobbing around pulling the particles, their Y acceleration controlling playback speed in accord with the Detune slider. The Container can contain the particles, by bouncing, killing, or trapping them. The long horizontal slider sets the initial position in the audio file from which sound is sourced. The Strange Agency designs and builds sites and software. We focus on apps for mobile devices, and we make everything from rich media banners to heavily trafficked websites to small music-making robots. We love open-source, standards-compliant, platform-spanning […]

"This design caught my eye as it is different from the usual address labels I see on the market. Colors are brilliant and design clear."
"This was my first purchase from Tiny Prints and I am very pleased with my purchase. The address labels are beautiful and are high quality. I will definitely order from Tiny Prints again but it will be hard to decide on a design since they have such a huge selection."
"This design is the second design of address labels I have ordered and used from Tiny Prints. I am very pleased with the quality, design, coloring and choices for personalized information. I will continue to purchase more of both designs and others. I do tend to use these for special cards and special people along with a "Forever" stamp of my choice."
"Looks even better in person, even my fiance loved these labels. Will probably order more just because they are so nice. Very elegant design - this is my new favorite. Super fast shipping - thanks!"
"Lovely to have the address label to match invite. Shame you couldn't order blank labels you could print the recipients details on also"

"I saw Bryce Harper go 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. I saw him take a batting practice where he failed to hit a single home run. And I can say, unequivocally, that Harper is the best player I saw in Arizona, and one of the two best prospects in baseball. Swings this mature, with the balance, the extension, the load and the transfer, don't find themselves with teenagers often. But there I go, telling you something you've already read again.""My Bryce Harper Experience- Fangraphs"
"I can tell you that yesterday, the creativity that allowed the deal [between the Nats and no.1 overall pick Bryce Harper] to get done was something that really arose in the last three minutes," before the 11:59:59 deadline.Scott Boras on Sirius/XM's MLB Network Radio show The Power Alley with Jim Duquette and Kevin Kennedy talking about Bryce Harper's deal with the Washington Nationals.
"[Scott] Boras, who despised former Nats general manager Jim Bowden, lobbied for [Mike] Rizzo to replace him in the job, even raising the possibility, according to sources, that Strasburg would not sign with the Nats as long as Bowden was in charge of his minor league development."Washington Post writer Thomas Boswell in article entitled, "Nationals encounter risks, rewards of dealing with Scott Boras while working to sign Bryce Harper" talking about the agent the Nats will be dealing with today as they attempt to sign their second-straight no.1 overall pick.

Net safety's '3 alarmist assumptions': Researcher
This is news, and not just for the Internet safety field.

Social media reality check from Canadian youth: Key study
Before releasing its report on online conflict, MediaSmarts presented a much broader picture of young Canadians' experiences in social media: "Life Online." This is important context for any discussion about cyberbullying and other negative aspects of digitally informed life, whether we're setting policy at the household, school or national levels. "There are a lot of […]
Major study of teen online conflict in Canada, insights for all of us

There are never enough young people participating in conferences about media and education, youth risk and wellness or safety, […]
Timely for Safer Internet Day: Game-changing insight into Internet risk
One of the milestones of Internet safety was the distinction between risk and harm made by the pan-European researchers of EU Kids Online back in 2011.

Whisper's popularity no longer a secret

Addendum: What about CIPA?
US educators may wonder if schools can adopt the model I'm proposing above and still be compliant with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). Here's my answer: If you're asking "What about CIPA?", you're probably a school administrator or district official in the US, and it's a good question. In order for US schools (and […]
Media siege mentality: Antidote for parents
Over the 15-or-so years I've been covering family technology, I've noticed a kind of siege mentality that developed among parents about kids' use of digital media. Then, a few years ago, when sociology professor David Finkelhor at the University of New Hampshire gave his milestone talk, "The Internet, Youth Deviance & the Problem of Juvenoia," […]
