Fuel-tax fix simple
The premier says he wants Ottawa to remove the provincial portion of the HST that is charged on gas, but he can't do anything now because he should have the other Atlantic provinces on board first.
What about cutting the fixed provincial fuel tax charge of 15.5 cents per litre? I imagine that if the premier really wanted to, he could make that happen almost overnight. God forbid that Nova Scotia not have one of, if not the highest, tax rates on something.
Also, why do we still have gas price regulation? I thought the Liberals were going to get rid of that once they got elected.

MacLean on thin ice
Hockey Night in Canada host Ron MacLean's recent comment (which he apologized for) about the language of referees in the NHL leads me to believe that prejudice is still alive and well. His suggestion that "a French-speaking referee should not have worked the (fourth) game (in Montreal)" is tantamount to stating that English-speaking referees should not work games in English-speaking cities in North America. Preposterous!
And to think that MacLean's salary is paid by our taxes. Another example of a waste.

For the record
Re: This Day in History (April 24), in which it was stated that P.E.I. Sen. Dr. Orville Phillips, on the anniversary of his death in 2009, had been the longest-serving lifer in the Senate at 36 years. This is not so. Sen. John M. Macdonald of North Sydney was appointed to the Senate in 1960 and held this appointment, as a lifer, till his death in 1997. Do the math.

Airbrushed aside
Re: rebranding Halifax. HRM was the result of a merger of towns and communities to form a greater whole for the benefit of the whole. Halifax has unilaterally usurped its core members and with a stroke of the pen, vanquished them once and for all.
Over time, Dartmouth, Bedford, Lower Sackville and others will soon fade out of sight, and hopefully out of mind, no doubt to the delight of Halifax. Halifax will have to remove all of the local community signs identifying them as they will no longer become relevant. They will all be Halifax.
The Mi'kmaq were in the way; they were swept away. The Acadians were in the way; they were shipped away. Africville was in the way; it was bulldozed away.
Dartmouth, Bedford, Lower Sackville and neighbouring communities are now in the way; they will be erased. What have we learned from all of this? The more things change, the more they stay the same. For once, let's dare to be different or fall into disgrace again. Let's suggest a new name with a new image for a new city: All of Us!

slagging Surette
Michael Parsons is out of line in his April 23 response to Ralph Surette's recent column summing up of the case against the Halifax convention centre. Here are some of the words Parsons uses: Complaining, tired, slagging, negative tone, cynicism, mud-slinging. Such language amounts to a personal attack on Mr. Surette. Perhaps Mr. Parsons could have another try, and this time address, in a neutral tone, the points raised by Mr. Surette.
Parsons says "we all have to play our part" in ensuring the success of the centre. I agree we all have a part more generally in helping make Nova Scotia a better place; surely, how we choose to do that is up to each of us.
Peter Fillmore, Halifax
Outwitted by developer
On April 29, HRM councillors will debate and decide on an application by a developer to amend the city planning strategy and existing land-use bylaws. He is seeking their consent to privatize part of Grafton Street and to increase greatly in volume and height the hotel and office towers he plans to build on top of the planned convention centre.
Last year, after hoodwinking politicians — our wise leaders — the same developer appealed to have waivers for the city and province to allow construction to begin and now that some concrete structure is in the big hole in the city centre, he appeals for further concessions.
If council agrees to the developer's latest appeal for "rule-bending," the impression left on the taxpayers will be that council can be easily outsmarted by the private sector. Who should be embarrassed and who should be offended by this travesty?
Angus McDonald, Halifax
Nothing personal
Re: "Weight of judgment still hangs over abortion," (April 23 opinion piece). Could the anonymous writer please understand that pro-life supporters who do not believe in abortion as a means of birth control and who do not agree with her decision to terminate her pregnancy are not out to get her? She does not have to fear for her safety. As a a pro-lifer, I hope that one day the life of an unborn baby will outweigh the inconvenience it might bring.
Mike Craig, Lower Sackville

Moody's Outlook Dour on 'Young Invincibles'
Many of the people in the 18-to-24-year-old demographic who've signed up for coverage under health insurance exchanges may be among the least healthy in their cohort, says Moody's Investors Service.
Despite assurances from the Obama Administration that growing numbers of "young invincibles" are signing up for coverage on the health insurance exchanges, skeptics including analysts at Moody's Investors Service remain fearful that the risk pool will remain skewed towards older and sicker Americans.
Last week the Department of Health and Human Services released the latest enrollment figures for the exchanges through late Dec. 28. While the pace of the sign-ups increased about seven-fold in December—nearly 1.8 million people signed up for coverage that month—only about 24% of the new enrollees were in the coveted 18-34-year-old age group.
HHS officials said they saw an eight-fold increase in the numbers of young adults signing up for coverage, but the totals so far are well below the 40% threshold that Obama Administration officials had hoped for. With that in mind, Moody's Investors Service said this week that the preliminary healthcare exchange demographics are a credit negative for health insurers.
"The enrollment statistics show that only 24% of those who have enrolled in the exchange for private healthcare insurance are in the critical 18-34-year-old age group, well short of the 40% target based on the proportion of eligible people in this age group," Moody' said.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

They can only stay on their parents' plan if they are in college, no?
dtap70 (1/21/2014 at 10:00 AM)
None of this is surprising and was pretty much predicted. What would lead this administration to expect the healthy in this demographic would sign up for their own insurance when they can stay on Mom and Dad's plan until age 26? Its illogical and paradoxical; beyond altruism, there is just no incentive.

I like the colors, tired of black with black and some more black. But then again where I live no one cares if you have a knife because most people do.
Thanks again for the translation.
yep, me too. And in my book the Millie passed with flying colors.
Green, unless Orange was available.
I know which knife I'm going to be looking forward to in May/June.
Thank you, I see the difference in the distribution. So the white are the carbides, and the rest is the matrix bonding all things together? Or are the color variations different carbides?
The S60V looks like it has more density along with the larger carbides?
So increasing carbide volume i.e. adding carbon, tungsten, vanadium etc, the carbides stay smaller because there are more?
Bradley Air, black M4 blade, moonglow scales. I wish,lol.
The science behind the tools we love. I'm lovin it.
I would agree, I don't like the logos.
Thanks for taking the time to explain, This is what I love about forums like this where people share their knowledge, definitely a positive atmosphere.
Thanks, I see the point in how not only are these tests effected by the variations of procedures used to test, but also by the steel structure as well which will vary from bar to bar. So is it the...
So if I am understanding this correctly, The smaller and better distributed the carbides are, the better the edge retention etc is? It seems it would be more consistent at the very least. Great...
Now that would make me spend money, I have a fixed blade in 3V that I love.
this started out as a great thread,lol.
disgruntled crucible employee? J/K
Good one
Matt 26: 51,52 = for the right reasons. he he :)
Depends on what the intent is in carrying? If your knife is a tool then I would say sure, if it is carried as a weapon then it would seem to me to be inappropriate. JMO
The Military is awesome, I happened to get lucky and now have one in M4. IMO the Military is a must have.
At work I carry a Millie S30V, for other stuff like around town/out to dinner I want a Bradley Air because I love M4, or possibly the Des Horn in S30V.
Orange is always a hit for me, I don't mind the brown but then again I don't own one yet either.
I am needing more Iron in my diet, I hope my wife understands.
Thanks for the video

(Keywords: neck pain anatomy, atlanto axial joint anatomy, chiropractic HELP, atlanto occipital joint, why do we hiccup, slipped disk)
This page will help you understand the complexity of the neck. It is no simple organ. Cervical spine conditions are so common because of the extreme complexity and sensitivity of the many structures in the neck. This brief survey highlights the exquisite construction of the neck, explaining why a painful neck is so common.
The heavy skull and brain are precariously balanced on seven highly complexly engineered and exquisitely made neck bones or vertebrae, each a possible source of neck pain. The cervical spine starts just below the skull and ends just above the shoulder. It normally has a lordotic curve (a backward C-shape) which, if altered by injury, almost always is associated with chronic neck pain. The cervical spine is much more mobile than both of the other spinal regions - think about all the directions and angles you can turn your neck, normally without any painful neck.
The structure is tightly bound together by discs, ligaments and muscles, all potential sources of neck pain.
Not so tight though that it cannot move. 33 joints make the neck highly mobile, though each may be a source of the common painful neck.
Though the cervical spine is very flexible, it is also very much at risk for injury from powerful, sudden movements, such as whiplash type injuries and falls.
This high risk of harm is due to: the limited muscle support that exists in the neck, and because this part of the spine has to support the weight of the head.
This is a lot of weight for a small, thin set of bones and soft tissues to bear. Therefore, sudden, strong head movement can cause damage.
Horse riders and gymnasts, boxers and rugby players almost always have injuries in this region causing a painful neck.
Through the neck travel the most exquisitely sensitive pain structures in the body: the spinal cord and nerves emerging to supply various parts of the body, particularly the arms and scalp.
They are very prone to injury by stretching, as in whiplash, by pinching by facet joints, uncovertebral joints, disc joints and other conditions such as tumours, aneurisms etc.
The BONES, known as vertebrae
Two vertebrae in the cervical spine, the atlas and the axis, differ in their neck pain anatomy from the other vertebrae because they are designed specifically for rotation. These two vertebrae are what allow your neck to rotate in so many directions, including looking to the side. Because of their proximity to the brainstem and the spinal cord, any injury, fracture, displacement, or fixation (jamming) has the potential to cause severe neck pain, headache and a host of neurological conditions. Car accidents, falls, blows to the head commonly injure this part of the spine. The Hangman's knot is specifically designed to fracture the axis, and rupture the spinal cord. Hence the so-called 'Hangman's fracture', found in serious accidents.
The atlas is the first cervical vertebra -- the bone that sits between the skull and the rest of spine. The atlas does not have a vertebral body, being made up of a complex ring. The atlas sits on top of the second cervical vertebra -- the axis. The axis has a bony knob called the odontoid process, also known as the the dens that sticks up through the hole in the atlas. It is this special arrangement that allows the head to rotate so far from side to side. Special ligaments between these two vertebrae allow a great deal of rotation to occur between the two bones.
Seven delicate and highly complexly engineered vertebrae make up the bony structure of the neck pain anatomy, cushioned by the "inter-vertebral disc".
The black arrow shows where the so-called "hangman's fracture" occurs - through the pedical on both sides. This is also caused by the head hitting the dashboard in a headon collision. One more reason to use a safety belt. Research shows that in most suidicidal hangings there isn't sufficient drop to fracture the pedicles, and the victim dies a horrible prolonged death by asphyxiation.
Notice in this X-ray below how a short leg, giving a tilted pelvis and a scoliosis, goes all the way up into the neck. New research suggests that a heel lift to correct a leg length inequality may also help neck pain.
Joints in the neck.
There are 33 tiny joints between the bones of the neck and between the neck and the skull. The bones are separated by discs, made up of concentric circles of fibrous material with a bubble of gel in the centre, acting as shock absorbers for the all bouncing, jogging, jumping movements of the neck.
There are several different types of joints in neck pain anatomy. Disc joints, facet joints, unco vertebral joints, and some other highly specialised joints in the upper neck, but they all have one thing in common: important nerves, the most sensitive tissue in the body, travel close by.
Any injury, swelling, strain and sprain has the immediate potential to affect the nerves traveling to the neck, shoulder, arm, head and the whole body, causing pain, headache, tingling and dysfunction of the organs they supply.
What's more, the sensory nucleus of the nerve to the jaw joint is
located in the upper neck. Thus jaw and neck pain are often intimately
related, and to be jointly and separately addressed in teh management of
facial, neck, and jaw joint pain.
Why do we hiccup ? Hiccuping is a reflex contraction of the Diaphragm muscle, causing a sudden intake of breath that snaps the epiglottis closed. A hic. Irritation of the Phrenic nerve roots (C3-C4-C5), the nerve itself or one of the tissues supplied by the Phrenic nerve are the usual causes. Read more …WHY DO WE HICCUP ?
The so-called brachial plexus is a large group of nerves that emerge from tiny foramena in the neck. They travel to and from the arms, as explained in neck pain anatomy, where they initiate muscle action (eg picking up a sandwich) and sense changes at the skin. Cold, hot, touch, vibration etc. They also tell the brain where the hand is in space for example, without your eyes having to look.
Between each pair of spinal bones is a large disc. It consists
of two parts, an outer washer made of very tough fibres and an inner
bubble of gel which is like a large shock absorber. whilst reading about
neck pain anatomy I feel sure you have heard of the so-called
slipped disk
in which the gel has bulged out through the surrounding washer. it may cause for example very specific pain, numbness and tingling in fingers one and two ...
Frank pinching of these nerves may cause severe pain and disability in the arm, but even irritation of the nerve roots will cause shoulder pain, and make one prone to other conditions in the lower arm:
The neck is stabilised in the upright position by MANY very strong ligaments, that stretch from bone to bone maintaining the correct structure and preventing a painful neck. Some are tiny, for example the ligaments holding the ring of the atlas in position, whilst others are very large and strong. They are a very important part of neck pain anatomy.
Ligaments are highly innervated, so that the brain will know where the neck is in space whilst the eyes are closed. Any excessive stretching of ligaments, as in whiplash will cause these nerves to fire off, giving pain. If the ligaments are stretched beyond their elastic limits then important changes in the posture of the neck, and the position of the bones will occur, causing further neck pain.
In the normal neck, the curve is known as a lordosis. After a whiplash, the curve is reversed, producing a kyphosis. My take on neck pain anatomy is that Kyphosis = Pain.
Painful neck can originate in the muscles of the neck. The head and neck are able to move because of muscles that control and initiate the movements. Looking up at the ceiling, checking under your bed for your shoes, looking for traffic as you cross the street - all these movements are controlled by muscles. There are also stabilising muscles whose primary function to maintain the neck in the upright position.
Muscles were designed to move. Even maintaining a healthy muscle in the same position for a long period of time (eg sitting in front of a computer, driving a car, or lying on the stomach all night with the head turned) will cause fatigue and neck pain.
There are many large and tiny muscles in the neck, each a source of neck pain anatomy.
I found a page that will give you a simple test that you can do find out how strong your neck muscles are, and some really quite profound neck exercises: JULLS TEST ...
Manipulation of the neck has recently received strong condemnation from Chiropratic's critics as being highly dangerous and can cause a stroke. While this is acknowledged, it is so rare that it can largely be ignored (approximately equivalent to being struck by lightning on the golf course).
What our critics conveniently ignore is just how much more dangerous anti inflammatory drugs and analgesics are. All forms of treatment of any and every condition have potential dangers it should be candidly admitted, and in this regard chiropractic is no different.
I hope NECK PAIN ANATOMY has given you some idea of the complexity of your neck.
We haven't forgotten you, Maureen. One of those very special people. She was one of the 14,000 Americans who die every year from a bleeding ulcer, directly caused by anti inflammatory drugs. That's medicine's own research figure.
Any very sudden, traumatic jolt to the head and neck has the potential to injury all of these structures. That could be when the body suddenly stops, but your head keeps going (as when a car hits a tree), or when something smashes into your head.
This week it was young woman whose head was very forcibly struck by a water ski, last week a child kicked on the head and neck by a horse, every week car accidents, old and new. Falls from a horse, sport, bicycles... all need to be carefully managed, otherwise Immobilisation Arthritis and irritation of nerves almost invariably occurs.
Go to Kidney.org and see what drugs can do to your organs: http://www.kidney.org/atoz/atozItem.cfm?id=145
Tip: Especially don't take medication before your consultation with your chiropractor. Deaden the pain and you may confuse him/her. It's far more difficult to diagnose and assess the problem of the drugged patient.
An apparently insoluble neck problem?
It's not often that I rave about a commercially available product. However there is no doubt whatsoever that She-who-must-be-obeyed needs less than half the amount of chiropractic help since I bought her a Posturite, quite expensive, worth every cent.
Notice too the small 3 watt LED lamp. We are rapidly changing over to LEDs. Requiring extremely little energy, a fifteen year warranty on the globes, they will quite soon be the only globes available. Solar power generator ...

Interesting challenges of the day
1. Mrs D, a 78 year old woman has very severe sacroiliac joint pain, and even more severe cramps in her right leg. There are two problems; she is on two diuretics but no slow K. Taking her temporarily off one diuretic and adjusting the SIJ brought 50 percent relief within four days.
2. Mr S, a 48 year old man, has right low back pain, groin pain and a numb feeling in his lower leg when he sports. For six months he's been off football. He too has two problems; a very treatable lumbar facet syndrome and a very serious blocked artery in the groin; it's called intermittent claudication. Smokers beware.
3. Mr S looks like the leaning tower of Pisa; he has a slipped disc at L5 making him lean towards the opposite side. It's called the postero lateral disc hernia; we'll fix it, but he has to stop for a week or two. Antalgias are serious so take them seriously.
4. Mrs V too has two conditions; a chronic low grade sciatica giving her an ache in the right leg, and a threatening Morton's neuroma. She's glad I'm back in Holland; chiropractic fixed it before, and we'll fix it again.
5. Mrs W is one of the lucky ones, says her doctor. I agree. He says only 40% of patients with lumbar stenosis have a successful operation. We fixed a nasty slipped disc three years ago, but it came back two years later; the surgeon did a fine job but she has a weak ankle now giving her subtalar joint pain; it's routine stuff.
6. I myself had an acute exacerbation of a femoral nerve lesion last year. One immediate treatment of the new strain by my colleague has fixed the pain in the lower back, but there's some residual numbness in the lower leg; no soaring tomorrow alas.
7. This lady is a 86 year old woman with a 63 scoliosis. Chronic lower back has been her lot in life but she's well pleased with chiropractic and comes for chiropractic help once a month; some conditions you can never cure.
8. She is an 78 year old woman, is doing remarkably well with a bad sciatica. But over 200 pounds she is not losing weight; in fact, gaining despite my suggestions. She's high risk for a stroke. I have referred her to a dietician to crack the whip.
9. A 61 year old man with upper cervical pain yesterday; it's not severe but also not getting better of its own accord. He's afraid it may turn very acute as when I treated him three years ago. Since then it's been fine.
10. A 64 year old woman has had scheuermanns disease; it's left her with a spinal kyphosis and chronic middorsal pain. She responds well to chiropractic treatment provides she come every six weeks or so for maintenance treatment.
11. Mrs C has been having severe headaches, and taking a lot of analgesics. It's a non complicated upper cervical facet syndrome, and she's doing well.
12. Mrs D, a middle aged woman with hip pain of one year duration, despite other treatment. Xrays reveal an impingement syndrome and early hip arthritis. There's much to be done.
13. Mrs B has had one of the nastiest of conditions; vertigo caused by a disturbance in the inner ear. Falling repeatedly and vomiting she consulted her doctor but medication didn't help. After two sessions of the Epley manoeuvres she was 50 percent better. After two weeks 75 percent improved. No longer vomiting all falling. She's not enjoying the Brandt Daroff home exercises.
And so the day goes; chiropractors shouldn't be treating the elderly most medical sites state but that's so much bunkum.
Have a problem that's not getting better? Looking for a different slant on your pain? Want to pose a question?
CLS writes:
Greetings, Dr B.
You helped me quite some time back with a soothing and professional response which turned out to be exactly correct. I now consult a local chiropractor. You write a superb newsletter, too.
Your own unresolved problem. Pose a question
Knowing that up to 70% of the time the correct diagnosis is made with no examination, no special tests, no xrays, but just from the history, there's a fair chance I can add some insight to your unresolved problem. But at least 30% of the time, I may be quite wrong! Give plenty of detail if you want a sensible reply.
You visited this chiropractic help site no doubt because you have a problem that is not resolving and want to know more about what chiropractors do.

"Since this was more of a surge-driven storm instead of a wind storm, that helped quite a bit. But our wonderful seawall is what protected the properties right off the seawall. We're very-well protected by the seawall in the storm and the waves coming in. We were so fortunate with the convention center. We had very little damage. There was a little water damage into the center, which has been pretty remdiated already. But the center's in great shape. In fact, we did out first event last Saturday night at the convention center."
For the center, it was a matter of waiting for power and utility restoration, as well as for hotels and restaurants getting back into business. Winchester says a lot of organizers who had events canceled because of the hurricane are happy to reschedule in Galveston, as a way of helping the city recover.
"They sure are. We've had some wonderful partnerships with a lot of our conventioneers and planners of these conventions and meetings. Most of them have wanted to continue, if possible, with their conventions, and a lot of them have actually held their dates, October forward, and some have rescheduled, quite a bit, as much as they could. Some of them are business decisions, clearly, based on times and things like that. But if they weren't able to rebook this year, most of them are looking at coming back with us next year."
The two-story, 140,000-square-foot, Galveston Convention Center has a beachfront setting with views of the Gulf of Mexico.

A fresh start.
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Nintendo Wii & Wii U Lobby' started by A-K-A, Aug 26, 2012.
Undeniable points.
I didn't know I was beating a dead horse; forgive me internet!!!!!!!!111
@XpopcornX There is a very passionate fanbase for Ridley ITT, i learned so myself a few pages back
Around this time is probably one of the worst times to bring it up, since Sakurai hinted at Ridley as either a stage hazard or playable a few weeks ago. But it's not a big deal. I'm so clever.
Ya I apologise for that. Was thinking of asking everyone but by that time I was in full rant mode and didn't have the patience. I'm really sorry if I ruined anything for you.
No I guess not but does that mean without Demise then Ganondorf would be lobbying for a peaceful, diplomatic solution to the whole situation? To me, Ganondorf has been too deeply integrated into the games as the King of Evil to be what Skyward Sword put forward.
@CalumG (not sure if I did that right)
Trying not to directly quote the past replies to avoid any spoilers and such in my previous post. When I said fleshed out his character better, in no way did I mean that was the way it should have been done. Merely that it gave him a different motive and did a better job in my opinion of justifying his actions than the revelations put forth by Skyward Sword.
Trying not to derail this thing so to get back on topic what about them Fire Emblem reps guys?
Another Ridley size argument?
Have you SEEN Bowser's sizes in the new Mario main games? Especially SM3DL, NSMB2, and SMG2? He was at least 2x Mario's size, if not, then more so.
King K. is also pretty big. Just take a look at DKC64 Rool.
Do I even have to say more?
Stage: Venus Lighthouse
Franchise: Golden Sun
For this stage you start out on top. It will take place there for a while until the floor breaks and you fall into one of the floors of the light house. This will take place twice before you end up falling out and into the front of the Venus Lighthouse. The time it takes to do this is random, sometime it might not even happen. Once you are out of the lighthouse you "might" eventually be transported back to the top (and it starts all over again). Stage hazards would be various traps that are held within. Overall it is a semi-basic stage.
6 Song Choices (Basic Set)
Matthew's Battle Theme
Boss Theme - Dark Dawn
Venus Lighthouse (Original/Prologue Version)
To The Light We Go - Final Challenge
Isaac's Battle Theme (Original Version)
Saturos Theme Remix - Dark Dawn
Any other Golden Sun song would be extra music
Anyone here want Lip? I'm curious.
I highly suggest Elemental Stars, Sol Sanctum, Felix's Theme and the main theme of Golden Sun (and the franchise as a whole). But other than that good music choices.
Stage: Deepsea
Franchise: Steel Diver
A stage that takes place underwater. Due to this character movement is cut in half, thus making this stage more strategic because you have to plan stuff out more often. Stage hazards are the submarines that float on by as well as underwater mines. If you touch the mines they will blow up and hurt you (and anyone is close proximity). Touching the submarines won't hurt you, you can even stand on top of them, but their missiles they fire can. Plus if you stay on too long they will ride you off the stage.
6 Song Choices (Basic Set)
Steel Diver Theme
Wave Race 64 Theme Remix (Blue Storm)
Aquatic Ambiance (Donkey Kong Country)
Underwater Level (Super Mario World)
Water Temple (Ocarina of Time 3D)
Great Bay Temple (Majora's Mask)
A lot of people are saying there should be music from Wave Race, Sin and Punishment, Golden Sun and Advance Wars. But personally I feel there should be more miscellaneous music in general especially if it fits a stage. I think Wave Race music would fit the Pilotwings stage very well.
This next song has to be remade, it just SCREAMS Smash.
This song comes from a popular franchise which I think could possibly have a stage, but regardless it needs this piece in the game.
Could easily be mixed in and out
Just tried to give a balance between the GBA games and Dark Dawn, since the location is in all 3.
This is a good stage idea but personally I feel the Starfy series would be more deserving and represententative for an underwater stage. I mean Steel Diver was kinda a mediocre game... good music choices though.
I'd be down for Lip from Panel De Pon:
as the roster could do with more female as well as child characters. Someones gotta compliment either Young/Toon Link or Young Isaac (whoever ends up making the cut).
Stage: N's Castle
Franchise: Pokemon
A basic stage with two pits on the sides. The platform is the only place to stand in the battlefield but there is a lot of area up above for those that can make it there. Stage hazards would be Team Plasma members coming out (from above and from the sides) and using their Pokemon to attack the players.
6 Song Choices (Basic Set)
Final N Battle Theme (Black & White)
N's Castle Theme (Black & White)
Team Plasma Battle Theme (Black & White 2)
Rival Theme (HeartGold & SoulSilver)
Team Rocket Battle Theme (HeartGold & SoulSilver)
Gym Leader & Elite Four Battle Themes (HeartGold & SoulSilver)
Other Pokemon music would be in other Pokemob stage or as extras
I want Lip in SSB4 We need more girls characters.
My TOP 10
King K Rool
Little Mac
You guys we need Toad he's the imporant Mario rep.
Old Comer Mewto.
My Top 10 Most Wanted Newcomers:
10. Matthew
9. Sheriff
8. Chrom
7. New PKMN Trainer
6. Andy
5. Little Mac
4. Micaiah or Robin
3. Isa Jo
2. Ghirahim
1. Shulk
Also, what are your thoughts on Deepsea, N's Castle, and Venus Lighthouse?
Just wondering, would like to start discussions.
@TBgamerDragon In regards to the Pokemon stage, I love the look of it and it would be cool if you could see N riding Zekrom/Reshiram fighting Ghetsis w/kyurem or something like that.and you would need some more epic music for N's castle. The 2 N's castle themes are great. Some suggestions:
Goes well with the stage feeling and tone expressed
1. Zekrom/Reshiram/Kyurem Theme
Lighthearted song with a whimsical feeling, apt for Pokemon stages
2.Iris Theme
If any song needs to be in this game from HG/SS its this one(Intro give me goosebumps everytime i hear it)
3. Lance/Red Theme
Edit: And just because I love this one
4. Black/White Kyurem Theme
I feel the Team Rocket theme should also be there because it fits in with the villain/enemy theme of the stage. I was basically going with that as well as battle music. The other HeartGold/SoulSilver music will be in another Pokemon stage I am working on, Mt. Silver/Cave.
Good choices though.
Edit: And Iris's theme might make more sense in another stage I might end up doing, Castelia City.
So to coincide with Nintendo's recent schedule adjustments, I 've revised my predictions for character reveals until the end of the year:
Sept: Zelda(Though toon link is looking more and more possible)
October: Pokemon Trainer
November: Peach
December: Diddy
Bowser's size in Brawl and SSB4 is based on his Melee size, from which unreleased games such as NSMB2 and SM3DL had no influence as they weren't even in development. The only time he's big pre-Melee is in Mario 64, but that's only due to, well, magic. Giga Bowser is most likely based on that.
The K Rool argument is irrelevant to Super Smash Bros. as he hasn't been playable (yet).
And yes, Ridley is too big for Super Smash Bros. 4. Everything Metroid related in the game so far is taken from Other M, in which Ridley will likely be based on as well, where he's rather BIG(rather than his smaller NES and SNES sizes, which was what? 20 years ago?). Size matters, to Sakurai.
Come at me Ridley fans.
Roy, Marth and Ike as playable characters.
Chrom+Lucina as a single Assist Trophy.
Lyn as a DLC character.
Within the actual canon of Pokemon (be that games, cards, anime or otherwise), Squirtle would barely reach up to Charizards kneecap. Squirtle is roughly supposed to be 1 foot, Ivysaur is 3 feet and Charizard is 5. That's not just a character size inconsistency - all three of these Pokemon are of inconsistent sizes within one character. That's three times the size inconsistency in one neat package.
Swing and a miss.
What is this? I thought Ghirahim would have been your number one most wanted character for sure!
You were saying?
That's not their canon size, that's their sprite size. They had to fit them within a size limit whilst still being big enough to be visible on a small screen in the case of smaller Pokemon like Squirtle. If those sprites can count as evidence for them being the 'right size', then the argument that 'Ridley's size on the NES doesn't count because of technical limitations' is just as bogus. In both cases, they are different sizes because of technical limitations rather than for canon size reasons.
Try again.
The games itself don't follow the canon size, and according to what I just linked the sizes are taken from the games, aka the "sprite size" . So technical limitations or whatever, the sprite size is what they look at rather than the canon size stated by the Pokedex.
And unlike Pokemon, they fixed the size of NES Ridley on the Zero Mission remake, despite the small screen size of the GBA. Either way, the NES Ridley still doesn't count since it's highly unlikely they'll base Ridley's size and design on a 26 year old Metroid game when everything else is Other M based.
oh for fucks sake we're still on the too big argument.
also, the games don't follow the canon sizes of the Pokemon so the game doesn't look ridiculous when squirtle is smaller than groudon's toe.
Well now it just sounds like you're making rules up as you go along.
Pokemon Trainer's Pokemon aren't their canon sizes. Most of the existing Pokemon in Smash Bros have moves they shouldn't technically have in their own games, as well as the Mother characters. Olimar is about 100x larger than he should be. Donkey Kongs size isn't consistent when placed next to Mario. Bowser has his new design but his old size - why can't Ridley? Sheik was in Brawl despite the Zelda characters being based on TP. In the Corneria stage, Fox can physically stand on top of an Arwing which should by logic be about 4x bigger than it is, and should fit in the bottom of the Great Fox (which it doesn't). Captain Falcon is 4x the height of his own vehicle in Big Blue and couldn't possibly fit into it. Peach's Castle is absolutely minuscule compared to its canon size. Oh, and all the characters are trophies/figurines, not their actual selves. Figures aren't always to scale.
However you try to spin it, the size thing is bs. Canon size, canon abilities, official designs and 'game size' have all been disregarded by Sakurai in the past for the sake of fanservice or gameplay.
I'm not making up rules, I'm taking rules that are set by Sakurai himself, I even linked it in this very page.
You can learn moves in Pokemon via TM's, and it was already explained why Mother characters have moves they normally don't use, the fact they bothered to explain it shows they're trying to respect canon. Olimar's canon size is 100x larger is true, but not his model size. Donkey Kong was alongside Mario in Donkey Kong on the arcade/NES, and that was what they based his size on in Smash 64 since that was at that time the only comparison between DK and Mario. Rest of the Smash games followed Smash 64's scale in terms of DK and Mario. Bowser got his new design and old size, but so did all the other Mario characters, not the case for Ridley as Samus is based on Other M in both size and design. Sheik proves my point further, since despite having a different design from his/her own game, he had incorporated a more TP-design similar to the other Zelda characters, so similarly Ridley will follow Other M size and design since Samus does so in SSB4. Sakurai only mentioned characters being true to scale, so it doesn't matter how big Arwings, Peach's Castle or CF's vehicle truly is. The Trophy/Figurine point is irrelevant since Sakurai's own words disprove it all.
I think the size thing is bs as well, but after hearing Sakurai's own words, I'm starting to think it may have an effect. Not for every case, but for Ridley it certainly is problematic.
You just proved you own argument wrong.
"Bowser got his new design and old size, but so did all the other Mario characters, not the case for Ridley as Samus is based om Other M in both size and design."
Samus is based on Other M in design, yes. But how is she based on Other M in size? By what frame of reference? Unlike Mario she doesn't have anything else from her series to be compared to. Until we get another Metroid character in the roster, we have nothing to compare to. We don't know if Samus is size-consistent with Other M or not, so there's no reason why Samus and Ridley can't be like Mario and Bowser.
I get that you're trying to play Devils advocate, but its not really working. I'm not so good with explaining myself well but I'll link you some stuff when Smashboards is back up because every point you've made has been stripped apart, proven wrong and thoroughly mocked months ago.
Let's face it. He's just too big to fit in the roster guys.
Let's face it. Lucina too similiar to Marth to be on the roster.
Let's face it. Chrom sucks too much to be on the roster.
First picture is from Other M. Second one from Smash Bros. Now what you're suggesting here is that Ridley be in his outdated NES size but in his newer design, which is a bit unrealistic, why would they go back to his old, outdated NES size?
And really, you're going to refer to the Smashboards Ridley fanbase of all sources? Lol, they mock almost everything that's anti-Ridley, but they ended up heavily embarrassing themselves after Ridley was deconfirmed from playable status in Brawl. I have very low expectations for whatever points you'll pull from there.
do we even need to follow canon in Smash Bros?
But it's totally realistic that there's all kind of other inconsistencies in the rosters size, even between characters of the same franchise? The argument that Ridley is too big relies on making all sorts of arbitrary rules as to why other franchises can get away with size inconsistencies like Mario and Pokemon (and for the record, even in Donkey Kong arcade the size difference between Mario and DK was more significant than in Smash) yet Metroid can't have the same treatment.
Smash Bros. follows canon character sizes, not canon in general.
Either way, all this arguing is in vain as it won't change whether Ridley is in Sakurai's roster or not. If Ridley is confirmed as playable, you Ridley fans can rub it in, if he isn't, then the opposite would happen, let's leave it at that.
Lets face it, we can keep assuming what Sakurai will and will not do in terms of the playable roster in SSB4 until the cows come home, but only Sakurai knows what is really going to happen behind closed doors and if the Wii Fit Trainer is anything to go by, anything is possible (no matter how ridiculous), until officially ruled out by Sakurai himself.
Except Pokemon Trainer proves they don't follow canon character sizes, especially when compared to some of the behemoth Pokeball Pokemon - see Snorlax, Groudon, Kyogre etc.
We're going round in circles here. I don't even want a playable Ridley, but you know as well as I do that its balony to even bring up the size issue.
Meh, I won't continue this discussion since I'm honestly getting tired of it...I call a truce.
Let's discuss FE reps instead
The only issue with Ridley really is that he'd be incredibly complicated to animate. Not only does he have the wings, which have proven to be an issue with the Smash team in the past, but he also has the incredibly long tail which is segmented into separately moving parts. These are all fairly easy components to animate on their own, or in a boss, but with a dynamic playable character those parts would be far harder to work with. How does the tail swing and move when Ridley gets sent flying? How do the tail and wings animate in unison? How do you make Ridley look fluid as a character (because frankly I thought boss Ridley looked stiff)?
There's all sorts of reasons why Ridley could be excluded... But not size. And I don't see why there's an unwritten rule that Bowser has to be the biggest character in the game - Ridley could be a few head sizes taller than Bowser and still work just fine.
Lol, I was poking fun at the bogus "X is too Y to be in Smash Bros." argument. "Ridley is too big", "K.Rool is too irrelevant", Chrom and Lucina are too similiar", "Takamaru is too obscure", "Starfy is too Japanese", etc. The reality is that none of these statements have any weight whatsoever becuase Smash is not canon. Everyday it seems like someone is too something to get into Smash. It's a pretty friggin' tired argument now. It's also a stupid argument.
Stop talking about Ridley, you're all tempting me O_O
And Pac Man is my most wanted 3rd party charcter

How to Avoid Stiffness and Pain when Traveling
Many people will travel during the next few months, and whether it is by plane or car there are a few simple tips to remember to avoid body aches and pains, and even life threatening issues.
As a physical therapist many patients ask about different ways to avoid low back pain while traveling. A simple answer is a lumbar support, which looks like a small pillow but is curved to support the low back. This can be used by people with or without low back problems and can be small enough to travel with on a plane. There are larger lumbar supports that can be used in the car during long road trips, as well. Although this is a helpful tool, another tip that is important to remember is to try to get up from your seat on a plane or out of your car for a stretch as often as possible.
Did you know that tea and coffee dehydrate?
Ouch!! My legs are cramping so badly in the middle of the night! Why is this happening to me? Many patients I see come complain of muscle cramping in the middle of the night, and sometimes during the day.
Most of the time the best advice I can give them is to drink more water, not coffee or tea. It is a common misconception that drinking anything will keep the body hydrated but this is incorrect. Read More

CWAers from Locals 2222, 2252 and 32035, with President Cohen, join the Fast for Families activists at a rally outside the Herndon, Va., office of Rep. Frank Wolf. (R) The Virginia event capped a nationwide bus tour with activists praying, protesting and calling on elected officials to support comprehensive immigration reform.
The Fast for Families Across America nationwide bus tour ended on Wednesday on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., where thousands of activists protested, prayed and pledged to keep up the fight for comprehensive immigration reform.
Beginning in Los Angeles on Feb. 25, two busloads of immigration activists traveled to 32 states and visited the offices of 100 members of Congress, calling on elected officials to allow a vote on immigration reform. The Senate passed S. 744 nearly a year ago, on June 27, by a bipartisan 68-32 vote.
On Tuesday, CWA President Larry Cohen, Senior Director Yvette Herrera and members of CWA Locals 2222, 2252, and TNG-CWA Local 32035, joined faith leaders, other union leaders and activists and 20 local fasters outside the office of Rep. Frank Wolf (R-10) in Herndon, Va. Activists also held a day-long vigil outside Wolf's office, and ended their fast that evening by sharing food and stories of families in Wolf's district who are being harmed by the immigration crisis.
CWAers join the action on the National Mall, as the Fast for Families activists end their fast and deliver thousands of petitions to senators and representatives calling for reform.
Earlier this week, the fasters also held a four-day, water-only fast in Richmond, Va., the home district of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, to urge him to convince House leaders to schedule a vote on immigration reform this year.
At the end of the Washington, D.C. rally, activists headed for Capitol Hill, carrying petitions signed by supporters across the country to their members of Congress, calling for action now on immigration reform.

Must Hear: The Stones in Morocco
Fri, August 10, 2012
Morocco has been luring seekers for generations. And while Paul Bowles and the Beats made their way to this beautiful country, we've always been intrigued by The Rolling Stones' famous visit in the summer of 1989. For three days, they recorded with the Master Musicians of Jajouka led by Bachir Attar, a group from Jajouka, Morocco, that William Burroughs once called the "four-thousand-year-old rock band." The recording sessions resulted in the song Continental Drift, from their 1989 album Steel Wheels. Hear it here.

I finally went to a game this year and got to see a win. They dumped on the Mets. Time to pay back the Gay Team for what they did in Anaheim. I'm a little worried that the Angels will bomb Schmidt but 2 out of 3 would be acceptable.

Man, I was out of town for this whole series. Would have loved to been listening to WFAN in NY all week. Way to go, Blue!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah----------JMFP!
I believe both Santana and Weaver struggle on the road so i believe the Dodgers can at least take two. I have faith with Randy going on Sunday. Hopefully the Dodgers can continue their streak with the Madres struggling against the Cubs this weekend.
I feel a little Jiggle-Time comin'...
Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Bullets are cheap. Life is priceless.
Eddie Murray was dismissed
Mueller to serve as Interim Hitting Coach
LOS ANGELES – The Dodgers announced today that they have dismissed Hitting Coach Eddie Murray and have named Bill Mueller as Interim Hitting Coach, according to Dodger Manager Grady Little.
"Change is never easy but sometimes it is necessary and we feel that this is the best thing right now to help the team win," said Little. "Our offense hasn't lived up to our expectations and no one person is responsible for the results we've had this season. I have the utmost respect for Eddie Murray as a person and as a professional and I wish him nothing but the best."
Mueller retired at the end of the 2006 season with a lifetime batting average of .291 in 11 seasons with the Giants, Cubs, Red Sox and Dodgers. In 2003, he won the American League batting title and Silver Slugger Award and in 2004, he was a key member of the World Champion Boston Red Sox. Upon announcing his retirement, Mueller was named Special Assistant to General Manager Ned Colletti this offseason.
"Bill Mueller will serve as a very solid bridge as we look for our next hitting coach," said Colletti. "He already has a great reputation within the clubhouse and he has a very deep knowledge of our team and the rest of the league."
Yeah, no more hitting the first pitch.
Oh, and he has to be the youngest coach, let alone hitting coach in Dodger history. Hell, he's younger than Kent and Gonzo.

Great hitters don't always make the greatest teachers. I don't exactly know a lot about Murray's previous hitting coach experience, but it's been clear that this team has the potential to be the NL's best - when it is patient. Still, it's sad to see another great have to be canned. I had a sort of soft spot for Eddie Murray.
Good for Mueller. It's nice to see him being used in different areas until he finds his niche.
Omelette, eh? Mmmmm...
Well, Sunday *is* a Father's day game, so hopefully they'll be breaking out the brunch fixin's! I was looking down at the seats during last night's game...and yeah, I'm looking forward to Sunday.
Btw...that game last night was awesome! The "New York Sucks" chants were goin' off...and afterwards when everyone was walking out...people were singing the ol' "Nah, nah, nah....Hey-eeey-yayyy...GOODBYE!" LOL! Good times!
I've never really been a huge baseball fan, although I enjoy going to games....but it's starting to really catch on for me, so who knows...I may become a die-hard fan yet!
*Edit* I'm kinda ashamed, though...I had to curse out some kids that were throwing crap down from the luxury suite balcony onto us last night (peanut shells, ice, etc.). The whole section around me looked at me like "Wow!"...but I was pissed...they kept throwing ****. Finally, after a bunch of complaints from our section, security went up there...and it was oooh so quiet after that. Little bastards. Ha!

Notable Dotables…
Winston: Yo, my uncle was on Cops a bunch of times. He got no residuals, though; he's poor.
Nick: Thanks, Tran. If I'd met you in your prime during the war, that would have been glorious! But then we would have been enemies and tried to murder one another… unless we formed an alliance. You and me forming an alliance in an old-school war? That's a fantasy… or a novel.
Schmidt: Well this just in — the dress code for Winston's banquet is… "Optional"? It's optional? Why would he write that. It's gotta be a mistake, right?
Cece: And they're going to give him a gun?
Schmidt's through-the-door ramble…
"Jess, are you pregnant? [pause] I feel like I made it weird with the pregnancy thing, guys. Did I make it weird with the pregnancy thing? Because I really feel like in my heart that that was the wrong thing to say, especially to two women who are sitting alone in a room together. You know, I don't know where you guys are at with your lives, but you're certainly getting up to an age where babies are on your mind, and I didn't want to throw that into the mix. I could see that you were emotional, Jess, when you left, and I don't want to make you more emotional by bringing up pregnancy. And, Cece, you can probably barely spell pregnancy, and I feel terrible. [Waits a few seconds, starts to get angry] Are you frickin' razzin' me in there? Did I just hear a razz?! [A few minutes later...] Are you guys Frenching? Okay, say you're Frenching, and I'll stop knocking."
Nick: Winston is so cute…
Everybody: How cute is he?
Nick: Teddy bears buy Winston for their kids.
Schmidt: Horrible visual!
Nick: Winston is so cute, he once met a Japanese girl named Mariko, and she started wearing him as a backpack.
Lowlights from Jess's roast:
"What's up, Coach. You have so many pairs of sweatpants that you… need to buy normal pants."
"Cece, your hair is so long." (Medically Chillaxed Nick: "You're basically busted!")
"Schmidt [starts drunk-giggling] your head's so big." (MCN: "You got a big-ass head, dude!")

Sam Smith - Nirvana (TIP's Promised Land Remix)
Artist: Sam Smith
Producer: Two Inch Punch
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 1 total votes )
First featured, to rave DJBooth reviews, in late August, Sam Smith's Nirvana has received the remix treatment courtesy of UK beatmaker Two Inch Punch. More understated than its original model, which featured a majestic pop instrumental by Jonathan Creek and Craze & Hoax, this rendition of the cut comes backed by a skittering percussion rhythm and pensive music-box synths. On the chorus, the producer accents the subtly unsettling mood by slowing-down, chopping and looping the singer/songwriter's plaintive falsetto vocals. This atmospheric revamp is just a promo single, but fans will be able to find the original on Sam Smith's forthcoming EP of the same title, dropping October 4, via PMR Records.

PCHgames Manager Danny Answers More Fan Questions!
Hi everyone! As promised, we're back with even MORE answers to fan questions about PCHgames. If you remember from my post last Friday, we asked fans on the PCHgames Fan Page on Facebook to comment with any questions they had about our site. PCHgames Product Owner Danny answered a lot of those questions of Friday, but he has even more for you today! So let's get to it…
Karen P.: How do you determine the number of tokens awarded for each game?
Danny: We base the token awards on two factors: difficulty and time. We start out by playing the game many, many times and looking at what score we are able to achieve in a certain amount of time. We then come up with score ranges and assign a token payout. The games that are more difficult or require a longer time to complete (like Jigsaw) will generally have a higher token payout.
Anita N John T.: What does leveling up do?
Danny: Leveling or leveling up is related to your Player Rank on PCHgames. Check out the "Gaming Elite" on our homepage. You can see which players have the highest rank on the site. Each week we award tokens to the top players!
Debra K.: How do you pick the winners when we enter for prizes with game tokens…is it random with a computer, do you pick favorites or throw a dart at an email addy?
Danny: It's a totally random drawing done by computer. It's a good thing too, because I'm terrible at darts and we'd end up with a bunch of tiny holes in the office wall.
Diana P.: What do you like most about your job?
Danny: I've been with PCH for almost 12 years now, and I'd have to say the best part is that there has always been an opportunity to grow here. I started my career working in technical support and about 2 years ago began working on the PCHgames website. The best part about working on PCHgames is creating opportunities for people to win prizes. We are always looking for ways to incorporate more chances to win on the site.
Sally Jean M.: Can you make an app for Android phones that opens up with the PCH game toolbar and games?
Danny: We're working very hard on bringing all the fun of PCHgames to phones and other mobile devices.
Well there you have it folks! Do you feel like you know a lot more about PCHgames now? I know I do! But remember, if you ever have any other questions, comment below and let us know! We'll do our best to answer them for you
Amanda C.
PCH Creative
P.S. And remember — to stay on top of ALL the gaming fun, like our PCHgames Fan Page on Facebook!

AASIM - Queens Sh*t
Artist: AASIM
Producer: Grind Music (Sean C & LV)
Album: Walking on the Stars
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 10 total votes )
Do good things really come to those who wait? Booth newcomer AASIM certainly hopes so. After the 2005 release of Bad Boy debut album Money Pit, the NYC emcee spent years on the back burner, penning records for Diddy, Cassie, Pussycat Dolls and Dirty Money in the meantime. Now, having split with Sean Combs and company to join indie label Social Club Entertainment, the emcee has relaunched his solo career with Queens Sh*t, the lead single off a forthcoming street album. Grind Music (aka Sean C & LV) hark back to the Golden Age of boom-bap behind the boards, cooking up a gritty, head-noddable beat to back ASIM's hustle-centric verses, along with the characteristically fresh guest bars of Queensbridge vet Nas. Like what you're hearing? The stay tuned for more fresh cuts leading up to the May arrival of AASIM's comeback tape, Walking on the Stars.

addition to a rustic room. You can freely combine tones—copper, gold, silver—as long as you follow the matte rule. Muted rugs

WARRI — A House of Representatives member, Daniel Reyenieju, has called on the electorate in the Warri federal constituency to remain calm as the 2015 general elections draw near.
Reyenieju who spoke when a political pressure group, Wafi Democratic League, WDL, paid him courtesy call in Warri, charged members of the group to be calm over the issue of future contestants who seek elective positions in the Warri federal constituency, and particularly the governorship of the state.
He said he could not point to anyone for now, "but as time goes on, the body language of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan will determine those that should be supported, particularly who should govern Delta State in post-May, 2015 era."
Earlier in his speech, the leader of the group, Mr. Esimi Nanna thanked the lawmaker for his qualitative representation so far, urging him to seek for re-election in next year's election into the National Assembly.
