Though the weather here in
Delhi is turning quite cold, I'm not really sure whether I'm ready for the winter yet. So while I wait for the tights season to take it by storm I've decided to enjoy my few weeks of bare legs wearing these flat boots with my cute lil coat dress.
No Fall or Winter is complete without a great pair of comfy boots. Admit it.
A pair of flat boots is a must. We love any footwear that allow us to take a break from our heels but still manages to look just as chic. These boots were made to wear with your everyday outfits, either you style up or style down with your wardrobe. They're great with everything from flirty dresses to slick trousers. Allow your wardrobe to increase the versatility of your clothes with these boots for a quintessentially Fall feel.

Some experiences just can't be topped, and a canoe trip on the Loxahatchee River in northern Palm Beach County is one of these. With a friendly and reasonably priced canoe livery just feet from its scenic banks, a long or short trip down Florida's oldest designated Wild and Scenic River is a sure-fire way to remember why we all moved here in the first place. In just a day, you can paddle the watery, sometimes narrow, winding, coffee-colored path that opens majestically as it makes its way through Jonathan Dickinson State Park to the pickup point, where a bus will haul you back to your car. Along the way, you can stop by the abandoned fish camp of renowned Trapper Nelson, the Wildman of the Loxahatchee, who was found dead of a gunshot wound in 1968. Murder or suicide? No one knows. If you're up for only a couple of hours in a boat, paddle to a small spillway, have a picnic, and head back upstream. The current is gentle enough for the most confirmed couch potato. If you've been putting off a trip, don't wait. Thanks to an inexplicable action of the all-powerful South Florida Water Management District, the cypress trees that provide a cool canopy for canoeists on hot days are rapidly disappearing. Hurry before water managers destroy yet another of South Florida's irreplaceable treasures.

What a great place to stay. Had all the comforts for us to have a wonderful time on our Disneyland vacation. Transportation was right out front and we could park our car for free.
We had a wonderful experience.
Helpful and friendly front of house staff who were always happy to help. Very clean. Daily room service
The dark carpets hide a lot of dirt - bring a pair of flip flops or slippers.
They called us a personal transportation instead of a real taxi (what we wanted) who costed a lot more then it should have... Yay tourists lets take their money! They also charged us an extra 58$ without telling us. It smelled really bad on our room. Seriously we are never going back there...
Hotel was in good location, very clean and staff was very accommodating and pleasant.
Breakfast Only donuts and juice which you had to take back to your room to eat. Also, was told by office staff that the only parking and shuttle for Disney was right behind the hotel so they suggested a shuttle that picked you up out front. Found out there was a parking garage right across from Disneyland that he didn't mention
Close to Disney. Front desk staff was nice
First I got a room that was not clean. Had to lug my stuff around. My first impression was as good one looked clean. Left the room to go out came back to relax for the evening. Took a shower and the inside shower curtain had a dried blood stain. I took it down and told management they replaced the next day. Got up to go to the bathroom in the Middle of the night flip on the light and what do I see... A roach running across the floor. The next morning I grab a wash cloth and it had foundation make up all over it ( not mine). The place looked very clean it was all the hidden surprises that made it disappointing
It was great for the price. Great location with excellent nearby shops and restaurants. GardenWalk directly across the street with upscale shops and restaurants--Bubba Gumps, McCormicks, P.F. Changs, Cheese Cake Factory. Cinema. Helpful staff. Walking distance to Convention Center and Disneyland.
It would be great if they could at least put curtains up to close off the open closet space. Also, continental breakfast would be great if they replaced some of the sweet pastries/doughnuts with some healthy foods like fruits, yogurts, boiled eggs, cheese, etc. Milks, juices.
Location,cleanliness,friendly staff. Will stay again for sure
Nothing I didnt like.
The front desk staff was very friendly. The place was VERY clean. They even provided continental breakfast, even though they are small hotel (motel?). Our room was a "kids" room, complete with a bunkbed. This was the only hotel we stayed in where we all got our own bed.
Not a thing.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. For the price, the accommodations where what I expected. Sort of a no frills price, no frills stay, but perfect to go to Disneyland and I just needed a place to sleep.
The continental breakfast is fairly basic, pastries, coffee, juice. Heading to Disneyland for the day, I like to have something a bit more substantial such as a bowl of oatmeal and a banana.
The room price for amount of people.
Not enough parking for large groups for multiple cars.
I stayed recently at this hotel for 6 days leisure trip to Disneyland and really enjoyed all aspects of the hotel. Good rooms, deep sleep, very very friendly staffs (all of them in day and night shift). For any question asked I get more than one answer and suggestion and tips.The tickets for tours and transport sold in hotel counter with better rates even. They even help me to book the airport shuttles and some tours as I I-pad was not working. The location is a real advantage, in add the ART bus service stops right infront of this hotel so frequently goes to Disneyland and down town.We even walked to Disneyland in abt ten mins. Many food outlets, 7-evelen, CVS pharmacy, souvenir shop and within walking distance. We enjoy the swimming in the evenings.I am sure will be back.
Nothing to mention.
The staff were very friendly and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable and pleasurable. Helped with tickets to Disney, directions and advise.
the 2-room suite was perfect for our needs. we did in fact walk to Disneyland in the morning. plenty of towels for the 3 of us.
the "continental breakfast" was a bit overstated. clearly packaged rolls and muffins. didn't eat them at all. sad.
The location was within walking distance to Disneyland and major resturants.
I would like to see benches at the bus stop and in front of the building when waiting for taxie service to take you back to the airport.
Location and Deckert Scooter rental for awesome service..
Carpets were extremly dirty!!! Guests above us extremly loud...Parking...we had our family that joined us for one night of our four night stay have to park across the street at $24.00 mind you..not my favorite place for extended stays and continental breakfast needs updating..pool area not clean..
Everything was good across the board! Nothing was excellent, I mean, it's not that sort of place, but it's a great little place in that $100ish range. Good location, clean rooms, nice guys up front, all around a win for us.
The front desk clerks and housekeeping were very friendly and accomadating. We were close to a lot of things and DisneyLand. It was nice to have 2 separate rooms as we had 6 people in our group.
"Breakfast" was not really a true breakfast..just danish, donuts, coffee and OJ.
The cleanliness and amenitys
Wish it was a little closer to the disneyland entrance but we are pass holders so we park for free so we just drive there
It was close to Disneyland for a family of 6. Friendly day-time desk clerk. Beds were comfortable and rooms were cleaned daily. Continental breakfast was available. We had a microwave and refrigerator available. Coffee was restocked in room. I would definitely stay there again.
It´s really good value for money. Comfortable rooms and beds, clean bathroom.
They could do better with breakfast: better bakery, coffee, etc
The staff were friendly and accommodating, stayed for 4 nights. Excellent value for money. unfortunately our AC packed it in on our 2nd last night and had to relocate to another room. We're happy to upgrade us for free to keep us comfortable as it was very hot during our visit.
Breakfast. As an Aussie we're not accustomed to having pastries and chocolate muffins served for breakfast. Only collected breakfast there on our first morning, after that ate elsewhere. The only plus was that apples were offered as a healthy alternative.
Location Value Swimming pool Room size
Breakfast - donuts and coffee

OverviewSozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD) is a German political party. It was founded in 1875 as Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands (SAP), 1890 it was renamed into today's name.
At first their main focus group were worker and unions and their views were close to the theses of Karl Marx. Later in the federal republic their focus lied on their social policy and the setup of a political relationship to the German Democratic Republic. Today their goal is a "precautions social state" which prevents social distresses instead of cushioning them.
They are one of two German People's Parties.

Free Classes - Calendar
November 12, 2014
Wednesday classes are cancelled for the time being. It is getting too dark to have outdoor classes at 4 pm, although I continue to practice on my own at that time. Dusk has a very special energy that I enjoy, especially if I start before the sun goes down. But it does not work so well for instruction, and beginners find it challenging, so my goal is to find an indoor venue. We have one in mind, but I will make no announcements until all the details are finalized. Meanwhile, Saturday classes continue. Try to anticipate chilly weather and layer up accordingly.
For new students one of the toughest problems is learning to create a pattern of practice at home. Many people will add their Tai Chi practice into their other exercise practices, but if they do not already have a habit of exercising, it takes a little effort to build the habit. I wrote two blogs on this subject a few years ago that I recommend you take time to read.

Habit Forming
Not your grandfather's Tai Chi! We do not compromise the exercise to accommodate people who are unable to perform them. That defeats the purpose of exercise! Instead we encourage everyone to participate if they wish, and to do as much as they possibly can. There is no shame in sitting out some of the exercises, if necessary, but there is even less shame in trying without success.

Tai Chi and Balance, Western Style
May 28, 2014
As a young student I mistakenly believed that centering was a mental-spiritual idea and nothing more. As a result one of my earliest important "light bulb" moments came when I realized that balance is first physical. From physical balance can arise mental balance, and from mental balance can emerge spiritual balance. I say "can" because more work is needed after achieving physical balance, but by taking the first step you make the later steps possible.
Today I wish to explore
balance as a scientific concept
how that applies to Tai Chi

Tai Chi Meditations
CD now available.
(July, 2011) Sifu Dale Napier released his new meditation CD,
Tai Chi Meditations
, recorded specially for the Soul Explosion & Green Living Expo on July 30-31 in Houston.
The CD, backed by pianist-composer Marta Keen, features a standing meditation, Zhan Zhuang, and a sitting meditation, Six Healing Sounds.
Zhan Zhuang, or standing post meditation, is taught here for breath, balance, and relaxation. Balance is required for deep relaxation. To deepen the relaxation further we learn to use deep breathing, giving us lung improvement as well. Standing post is important for building Tai Chi Chuan rooting ability.
Six Healing Sounds is a popular chi kung (qigong) exercise that uses movements, sounds, and visualizations based on Five Element Theory. The general idea is to purge ourselves of negative emotions, which removes damaging energy from our internal bodies - helping keep us youthful, vital, and energetic.
Both meditations are regular features of Sifu Napier's current and upcoming classes.

Virginia Man Catches Scariest Fish Ever Seen
You know all those plans you had to go swimming this summer? Forget them. After you see the fish a Virginia man caught earlier this month, you're not even going to want to take a shower without a spear gun.
Virginia fisherman Caleb Newton caught a three-foot-long, 17-pound, six-ounce Northern snakehead fish (also known as Frankenfish) in the Potomac River earlier this month. Depending on the weight of Newton's catch, he could be the owner of a new world record for the Northern snakehead species. But, that's not really important right now.
See, the notoriously predatory snakehead fish — which eat everything and fear nothing — are not native to America, meaning the evil, ugly species have migrated and are thriving. This is NOT a good thing, because these fish just consume everything in their habitat, then they walk on land in search of another food source.
So, while Newton is busy accepting his world record, you should be figuring out how to cool off some place other than a body of water this summer. You have been warned.

Annapolis, Maryland -
The Department of Natural Resources' Maryland Park Service hosted veterans participating in the Warrior Hike Walk Off The War program as they journeyed through Maryland's portion of the legendary Appalachian Trail on June 12 at Washington Monument State Park. Park staff greeted the hikers with a much-appreciated potluck dinner organized by Christina Holden, Veteran Outreach Manager for the Maryland Park Service. Maryland Veterans Affairs Secretary Edward Chow, park staff and volunteers, and representatives from the Warrior Hike also joined in the celebration.
"On behalf of the entire Department and the State of Maryland, we salute the selfless men and women who protect and serve our country," said DNR Secretary Joe Gill. "We are humbled by the opportunity to provide these hikers a warm welcome and much-needed respite as they journey through Maryland along the Appalachian Trail."

National Harbor, Maryland - On Thursday, February 6, 2014, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre spoke to a room packed with thousands at the 2014 CPAC conference:

responded by calling me just about every nasty name in the book.

National Harbor, Maryland - More than 10,000 conservatives are expected to arrive this year at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center for CPAC 2014. Officially known as the Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC reaches out to "leading conservative organizations, educational institutions, elected officials, thought leaders, media and grassroots activists who impact conservative thought in the United States."

Maryland hunters harvested 95,863 deer during the archery, muzzleloader and firearm seasons combined (September 6, 2013 through January 31, 2014). The harvest shows a 10 percent increase compared to last year's total of 87,541 deer. Biologists attribute the increase to multiple factors including more hunters participating and better hunting conditions, with deer actively searching for acorns that were scarce in most locations.
"Our deer harvest rebounded to levels closer to what they were before last year's significant decline," said Brian Eyler, Maryland Department of Natural Resources deer project leader. "I believe we had more hunters in the woods this year and hunting conditions were better than last year."
More on Maryland's 2013 Deer harvest totals ...
The second portion of Maryland's muzzleloader deer season begins on Saturday, December 21 and runs through January 4, 2014. Hunters who possess a valid hunting license and a Muzzleloader Stamp, or are exempt from the Maryland hunting license requirements, may use muzzleloading firearms to hunt white-tailed and sika deer during this season.
The bag limits for the entire muzzleloader deer season are:
More on the opening of Maryland's second muzzleloading deer seasom ...
Hunters reported harvesting a total of 3,344 wild turkeys during the 2013 spring turkey season, surpassing the previous record harvest of 3,136 set in 2005.
This year's harvest was 7 percent above the 2012 harvest of 3,132, and well above the 10-year average of 2,925. These results indicate that Maryland's turkey population remains healthy and hunters are enjoying some of the best spring turkey hunting in many years.
High turkey populations coupled with good weather likely contributed to the record-setting harvest. Turkey numbers have been on the rise in some areas due to several years of above-average reproduction. In particular, large increases in counties such as Harford, Anne Arundel, Montgomery and Frederick, helped to boost the total harvest. In addition, pleasant weather throughout the State during most of the season most likely increased hunter participation and helped them locate and call in cooperative gobblers.

Accokeek, Maryland -
The firearm companies owned by Beretta Holding in Maryland—Beretta U.S.A. Corp., Benelli U.S.A. Corporation and Stoeger Industries, Inc.—have all been deeply concerned about Governor Martin O'Malley's effort this year to impose broad new restrictions on the rights of Maryland citizens to buy firearms, as well as on the types of firearms and firearm magazines they can acquire. The Companies have submitted comments before the Maryland legislature and to the press condemning these efforts and stating that the Governor's anti-gun activity is causing them to evaluate whether they want to remain in this State.

Up in Maryland, Jennifer Dukes spends her days as a mom, a wife and an NRA Certified Instructor. After a little coaxing, Jenny agreed to share some of her instructing experience from a Women on Target program last weekend.
Marriotsville, Maryland - Early morning on April 13, women began filing in to the classroom at Monumental Rifle and Pistol Club. They were there to learn how to shoot. Many of the ladies arrived with little to no experience; this would be their first real exposure to the shooting sports.

Timonium, Maryland - The weekends can sneak up on you fast.
As last weekend approached, for example, I ran down to the National Firearms Museum to check on Philip Schreier. Phil is one of two Senior Curators at the museum. He tends to have his finger on the pulse of the firearm nation. But Phil was no where to be found. He was gone. Gone to the Baltimore Gun Show.

We at Much have been privy to some very important moments in pop cultural history. And one that we accidentally stumbled upon may have been the break-up of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline. K-Fed was in Toronto and was being followed around by Much cameras. At that point he was known as a dancer, Britney Spears' husband and reality show star. Remember Britney and Kevin: Chaotic?
When his crew and Matte Babel went out for dinner, he seemed a little down in the dumps while checking his phone. A lot has been made about the possibility that we caught the break-up exchange on camera. It can't be confirmed but that is our story and we are sticking to it. So this is our fictionalized take on what the conversation actually said, using stills from the real footage of the night's dinner.
And scene.
*** Yes, we know the phone image probably wouldn't really have looked like the images above back in 2006, pre iPhone.

Hasso's Dozen
By Vinnie Mirchandani on September 3, 2014
Dr. Hasso Plattner has written a long blog post about Business Suite on HANA. He has 12 reasons justifying why. His passion for the product screams through the post. I wish he would make it a Baker's dozen and add a 13th point: that SAP plans to change its business model around HANA. I am […]

The Impact of Automation on Jobs: The Missing Dimensions
By Vinnie Mirchandani on August 14, 2014

I just finished reading Robert Cringley's book on IBM. One word to describe it : "Depressing". Not the author or his style, the subject matter.

The CFO office – inconsistent tech innovation
By Vinnie Mirchandani on May 29, 2014
I did a couple of (un-enjoyable) years to start my career at Price Waterhouse. I audited accounting processes at several companies and government agencies. 3 decades later I am still surprised how inconsistently many of those processes have evolved. Accounts Payable In 1990, Michael Hammer wrote his seminal article "Don't automate, obliterate" where he described […]

1050 Tasting Notes
The last of my samples from Butiki. I really enjoyed the Cider Guayusa yesterday, so I have high hopes for this.
The dry leaves smell delicately of orange, creamy rather than zesty, with the earthiness from the guayusa providing a pleasant undertone. It's quite a straightforward scent, but if it tastes as good as it smells, I'll be a happy girl.
I brewed this for 6 mins, and needn't have feared. The tangerine is a subtle flavour, but it's definetly there. The creaminess isn't noticable at first, but develops more as the tea cools. I haven't added anything to this, but I can imagine the contribution a little sugar would make. There's not a great deal of natural sweetness from the tangerine, so the earthy guayusa does tend to dominate, at least in the intial sip. The creamy tangerine is noticable in the aftertaste, though, which makes for a very pleasant early-afternoon drink.
On balance, I prefer the Cider Guayusa I tried yesterday, so this probably isn't one I'd order more of. I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it, though. Experience is the key in all things!
Third sipdown of the day! You can see that I set myself a little challenge there, but it paid off. Another one I won't be buying again, for the same reasons as Rooibos Vanilla. It's not unpleasant, just not really my thing. Another to chalk up to experience.
Sipdown! Finished this off today. Good, strong, everyday black (as ever), see previous notes for more detail. This'll be taking a break from my cupboard now while I work on some of my other straight blacks. It'll be back, though. No doubt about that!
Another of my samples from Butiki, and another first for me as I've never tried a guayusa before. I guess this is a funny kind of day to be trying one for the first time, too, but I figure I need waking up. I've been feeling so dreary today, maybe this will do the trick.
The dry leaf smells like…cider, as it happens. I usually visit a cider press in the summer with my family, and sniffing this tea takes me right back there. It's the same beautifully fresh, fermented apple scent. Although the ingredients list specifies other ingredients, at this point apple is all I'm getting, and that's all right with me.
Brewed, the apple/cider scent comes through even more strongly, and there's also a definite hint of spice (I think cinnamon and clove, mainly) that I didn't detect in the dry mix. To taste, the natural sweetness of the apple is just glorious. It almost tastes sticky, if that's even possible. There's a slightly dank aftertaste that I'm assuming is the guayusa, but it's by no means unpleasant. On the scale of my experiences with apple tea, this one is doing pretty well. It's certaintly the most natural tasting of those I've tried so far, and also one of the clearest and strongest in terms of how well the apple translates. It might just be love at first sip. Definetly one I'm glad to have tried, and another I'll be watching for future orders!
I have terrible backache today, so I'm mostly drinking this. It's just one of those teas I find comforting when I feel off colour. I'm actually getting close to a sipdown on this, with only a few more day's worth to go. Probably because I've been digging into it so heavily today. Still, tea is for enjoying, and this is just the thing at the moment.
This was one of the samples I got with me first Butiki order. It's actually one of the ones I was most curious about, being a person that likes blueberry and being intrigued by the "purple" base. It's an interesting tea to look at. The leaves are dark — almost black in colour — and quite fine. There are pieces of dried blueberry and what I'm assuming are cornflowers scattered throughout. The scent is quite delicate. It's definetly blueberry, but there's also an earthy sweetness to it that I really like. It almost reminds me of compost, in the best possible way!
To taste, this is actually really nice. I wasn't at all sure what to expect, but it shares in taste the same candy-like sweetness and faint touch of blueberry that it possessed in scent when dry. It's very subtle and delicate, but it's definetly moreish. There's a very, very slight astringency, but it's so slight it's barely there. As it cools, the blueberry taste comes out more clearly, along with a slight creaminess I didn't notice at first. Rewardingly, there is a tinge of purple about the liquor.
I had no idea what my reaction was going to be to this tea, but I've been very pleasantly surprised. I'm glad I decided to try it as a sample, but it's definetly one I'll come back to in future orders!
Like Yumchaa's Caramel Sweetheart, this one definetly benefits from a good stir. That I have discovered. I have, somewhat distrubingly, started using two bags of this in a big cup. Possibly I should eat some real chocolate, rather than trying to recreate it in a drink. At least it's Easter Sunday…there's a chocolate rabbit with my name on it that I think would go rather well with another cup of this :)
This was actually my first tea of the day this morning. I woke up with a bit of a sore throat, and a craving for Chilli Chai. The warmth was wonderfully soothing. Great stuff. Now all I wish is that it would stop being so cold and/or snowing. It's supposed to be spring, yo!
It always starts out well for me with these teas, and by "these" I mean adagio's fruit tisanes, because I unfailingly adore the scent of the dry mix. This one is no exception. It smells strongly of blueberries, to the extent that I had to double check I'd picked this sachet up and not Berry Blues. I can pick out the cranberries, also, as a kind of red-fruit tinged with sourness. I'm not sure what "natural forest berries flavour" might constitute, but, looking at the dry mix, I'm sure there are at least a couple of things in there that haven't been explicitly identified. Blackcurrants, for one, I think. In any case, the pieces are relatively large and generous, and the mouthwateringly strong scent is making me really look forward to this. On to the tasting…
While brewing, the scent develops to quite an incredible strength, I can see why it's called Berry Blast! It's a lovely, deep, dark, bittersweet forest berry scent. The taste is similar. I can definetly detect the hibiscus, which is what usually ends up ruining fruit tea for me, but it's not overpoweringly strong. The blueberries don't really come out in the flavour, but it has a definite blackcurrant-y, wine-like flavour, with the sour tang of cranberry to finish. It's bittersweet, for sure. The initial sip has quite a lot of natural fruity sweetness to it, but the aftertaste is slightly drying and quite sour. It's not a bad thing, though, and I'm actually quite enjoying the contrast.
This is another tea I'd like to try iced in the summer. It definetly has the strength to stand up to being watered down a little. I should probably start making a list, because I'll undoubtedly forget otherwise. Anyway, this is one of the more pleasing fruit tisanes I've tried recently. I'm a fan of deep, dark forest berry-like flavours, although the hibiscus does spoil the overall effect. If it wasn't for that, this tea would be right up my street. As it stands, I'm still on the lookout for a hibi-less tisane. Not bad by any means, though.

Digital TV Didn't Stop the Flo TV Personal Television
A/V 28 Views
Remember how the digital TV switch left most portable TVs useless?
Well, the folks at Flo TV have developed a portable television device that laughs at the digital divide, the Flo TV Personal Television.
No waiting. No buffering. No nothing–just start watching and use your fingertip on the touchscreen to move the image back and forth. Even better, the Flo TV gets fifteen channels, including Comedy Central, MTV, MSNBC and NBC News.
Of course, this doesn't come free–you'll have to shell out a whopping $8.99 a month with a three year commitment, and the device itself will run you an extra $249.99.
Pricey, but if you've ever wanted to easily carry cable content around with you, this is exactly the device you want.

This totally looks like pokemon mystery, there ok games but I don't care for them as much. I hope the dungeons aren't generated. I like the new look but where are the 3D dungeons? Atlus has me and I will get this regardless but let's hope we get more information about this game. It's obvious it will be on the 3ds, but if it is on WiiU I'll be all about it even more. There still is Persona Q and the other remake (not out yet)which I still have to pick up so I really don't mind waiting for this title. At least I know Atlus has my back and could look forward to some decent RPGs in the future.
Pier Solar is way over priced and so not worth it. It's buggy and generic. The charecters are blah as well. I love old school RPGs and I wanted to like this game. You have to search for a save as well and when you want to turn in off you can't cuz your looking for a save. I wasted an hour and half and had to start over. When I finally started over and found save as I was playing it, I began not to like it. There are no text clues and the battle system is way old school( battle system didn't bother me). This game looks good like it would be engaging but looks are deceiving. Generic buggy game that is missing elements in an RPG that makes it stand out. This is not Lunar be warned. 4/10
This game is extremely challenging. I rate it 7/10 you get a lot of charecters and the random generated dungeons can be a pain, but all and all cute story. It's an 8 bit RPG and it is different from its predecessors. It still is enjoyable and it is one of the few RPGs on the 3ds virtual console. So get your RPG on.
I know
Wait who doesn't own a smart phone. Maybe 7 and under. I tried using it for music but it to heavy in the pocket for a jog or a bike ride.
Smash is so waiting. I am downloading Pokemon Saphire as we speak. persona Q will be mine after that and Tales of heart is just around the corner. I like Smash and all but RPGs are my top priority.
@BensonUii yeah o.k. That still sounds like a bunch of donkey diarrhea to me. We can argue all day if you want to because that is exactly what's coming out of your mouth.
@BensonUii if you think that then that is your prerogative. You can go right ahead and be a sheep. I purchased my 3DS and will buy the new one. My old 3DS will be obsolete to me it is mine . I can smash it on the floor and break it into pieces if I want to. You can not tell me it is not mine that sounds like a bunch of horse manure and pig vomit.
I believe that the system that I purchased is mine and I can do what I see fit with it. If I go to the grocery store and purchase American cheese, should I put it on turkey ,should I put it on roast beef? It's mine I can throw it on the wall and see if it sticks. My point is we purchase these systems. They belong to us. If we want to make it into something different then what's your gripe. We shouldn't be beholden to any of these companies if anything these companies should give us a little bit more respect and stop exploiting us.
Some other person will open the the gates to the roms, but if you own the game and wanted on the go than what's the problem. I have bought most every game that I had a rom for. I own over 150 titles on Wii virtual console that I paid for. I own over 50 Wii U virtual console games that I bought and paid for. When I jacked up my DS Not only did I own 3 of them that I BOUGHT. The ROMs that I acquired let me play Mother 1 and 3 those are the few exceptions. The older Dragon warriors, Ultimas, Mother, I would have bought if they were available. I have purchased the older FFs and remakes so many times I can't even count them. I think for me, I like Homebrewing my older system after they have past there life cycle. I most certainly will BUY the New 3DS and purchase the games that I want. The older 3DS will be exploited. For me it is exciting to see what I can do with MY older 3DS. Can I make it a media player? Can
I make it a calculator? Can I integrated with my Mac or my garbage Surface.( don't hate on me the Surface does suck I own one waste of money.) It's all about creativity. The Roms are just part of it.
This series rocks. It's only a matter of time until it comes to the states. You need to get the first one first and then play this one well worth it
I have played Wii u more than any other console. That being said it is also competing with the 3ds because I'm getting Pokemon Sapphire and holding out on Smash till next year and if persona Q comes out this year I don't remember if it is, then forget it I'm stuck in 3ds world, but they have me I'm satisfied with them. I can't say that for PS4 or Xbone ( yes I'm hating on MS they are garbage even their surface stinks) remember Nintendo lovers are games are better quality, fun, and they bring the family together. Sales are not everything.
I understand why NL gave it a C- , but Sales aren't everything . When did sales become the focal point for the Quality of games. It's sad that many people can't see pass that. Nintendo is making a profit now. I had some droughts I'm not gonna lie or sugar coat it, but they have stepped up there game. I still need to beat Baynetta and start Baynetta 2. Mario Kart 8 is so good DLC wow replay value to the gluteus Maximus. Virtual console does need improvement. That is my only gripe, but backlog includes aria of sorrow, demon crest 2, demon crest super nes,( why do they come out with games only this time of year?) I give it a B. I own Ps4 also and I give it a B- also I don't like most of the games that are out for it now, but I'm gonna try my hand at The last of us remastered. I won't even talk about Xbone because I lost interest and won't buy one and I own a
I got mine at gamestop for $6.
Blahk, Yuck, foowey! 1510 coins and my options are picture book, starship and Tokyo. What the crap. Maybe I'll get the Smash Poster but I not aloud to hang that stuff up in my room anymore .
You high and mighties can go right ahead and be that way. I'm all about experimenting with the 3ds
I can't wait to get my hands on a new 3DS so I can experiment with my old 3DS on homebrew. FYI I think that the roms will come later I am not worried
This will come to the US for sure. I love this series .Atlus could of made a new one , but I don't care I'll eat this up.
Wow I still have my T84 that played Super mario bros., but now smash. That's amazing. Now I own a Ti Nspire Cas and it is color. I'm more interested in conversions, and quick calculations. The graphics on that thing are good. I wonder what Smash would look like on my Npsire.
Some people don't know what a good puzzler is and on top of that they don't understand the concept of a different genre. Graphics are not the issue. Game play is. What's a matter can't play cute little adorable Lolo. It's too hard.
Where is SNES ghost valley?
This game is good. I love it. The wii u review gave it a bad score. I don't remember what but I do know a review is in the eye of the beholder.
Super Mario world is the best Mario. I loved Galaxy 1 & 2. I didn't care for the Wii NSMB but it didn't even make the list. I want to play Sunshine again cuz that's the only Mario I never beat. I think it might been the controls and I was playing Baiten Kratos 2 or something that like that when I had it.
I liked this game when it came out, I don't consider it my best Zelda experience, but I love all my Zelda experiences. I getting this for sure. I'm wondering what changes they made. The Wind-waker remake was one of the best. OoT remake felt like the same to me. All in all I can't wait for this one. It makes me me want to Zelda binge. Starting in February. So I can get hyped.
Good move too many games. I think they could have pushed this to march .
@NinjaWaddleDee Yes. I know, but SMB is what it is and that is a juggernaut of popularity . What if there was no SMB. Would there be a Wonderboy or a Sonic? Would there be a Galaxy? I never said All.
The controls of Super Mario defined plat forming. He used his dislike of a platforms play control to define his game and evolve it. That's genius if you ask me. Both control are good. Don't hate on him that is what drove his creativity.
Darn I wanted this one to be good. I still might get it. My backlog is way to big to pick it up so il'll wait for a dry spell.
This game was amazing for its time. Loved every minute of it
This looks good for sure. Can't get enough of Atlus.
I am gonna download Baynetta 1 and go from there
It's Good publicity for the Wii U Regardless. If she only did it in skimpier out fit it would of got more hits. I got nothing against her. She might even like to play a lot of Ninty games. She does own one.That's a good thing.
The first one was ok. It's just like solmon's key, if you like solmon's get it but it's not a substitute for the real deal. I never finished the first Pyramid cuz it was such a copy cat clone. Get Solmon's Key it's way better.
Dang we had this one for over a year now in the states. It's good, really good RPG. It's number 2 on my list for best RPGs on the 3ds.
So many games. So little time. I'm totally getting this, but it will have to wait. There's Castlevania Arias of I forgot the name, Demon Crests, Bayonetta 2, Pokemon Omega Sapphire, Smash, I'm playing those Castlevania GBA games now and I just started the second one today. I will be binging on Castlevania GBAs till I beat them. Tales of grace for Vita ( yeah RPGs love them) in November. I still need the DCL for Hyrule Warriors and SMK8 and I'm going to school full time for my masters yeah I'm busy" If they only spread them out better during the year.
I've been to Florida City. People there are kinda trashy, not saying all, bit most.
Master quest here I come, but it will have to be backlogged due to extremely fun GBA Castlevania binge.
Those demon crest games are awesome. Great line up I was hoping for DK, but I'm binging on Castlevania right now.So all is tranquil with me for the the month demon crests and Castlevanias. Who could ask for anything more.
1450 coins and have everything or don't want kersploosh or brain game math. What is this every month nothing. Then they don't really have any physical rewards either. What's the point anymore. Maybe I can buy an imaginary game with my 1450 coins. Yeah I'm complaining.
So is the vita one the same
I don't know maybe I'm getting this one confused with Castlevania x chronicles which is so good. I never played snes version I thought os was the same thing.
@FlaygletheBagel start with the GBA games that are coming out this month. Circle of the moon Personifies metromania. It is why the word was invented. The classic NES Castlevania game is the first title it is a traditional action platform game. The second Castlevania game is called Simons Quest and it has more of a RPG kinda feel. (Some did not like this one but I did) The third Castlevania 3 went back to its roots but with different playable characters that you unlock after beating a level. Super Castlevania on SNES is like Castlevania Nes only more polished and cooler moves(action platform) ditto on Castlevania X (a really awesome action platform). There are others like Symphony of the Nights where I believe it got it Metriod roots. (Psp but originally on PS1) These games are totally challenging. If you want an easy one go with Utopia Nes.( not Castlevania but Metroivania before the name was invented) The GBA games I believe are the best of the best in the Castlevania series the DS games are very similar to the GBAs and are good as well.
If you own a WiiU get the best Castlevania games ever right now. All The GBA games in this series are worth it.
Then why do all this marketing for a gamecube controller? I don't think this controller is just for smash. If it is that would be just for the loyalist and I don't think they would do that. I'm not buying this controller for now. I would be on a wait and see basis with this one, but I am not disappointed or surprised its typical .
Relax Hyrule Warriors will sell about a million copies by the end of the year. Japan 100000 +, Europe 300000+, the States 600000+ it's not bad. (Just a prediction) Plus or minus .You all need to relax. Hyrule is a great game and I'm sure people will buy it. It was sold out at Gamestop, and Target, but I found it at a Walmart and I live in Miami. So if a game is sold out at retailers that's a good thing.
You better Believe I'll be getting his game day one. I know it's not a typical Zelda. I have never played a warriors game yet so I'm intrigued.
It's my birthday and I got the Demo I am happy it is good
If you don't like the game don't buy it. It is that simple. The fact that this game will cost me about the same price as pretzel M&Ms is a good thing. There are some cheap games on the Wii u that are good. "The Cube" I don't mind, let them come, if you can't tell what a good game is or what shovel ware is then your bad. They are all indie games and they deserve some respect. Because they actually made a game. I don't see any of you complainers making games. The price tag is your hint.
The fact that having a debate over the sexualization of Samus has made me think of this site in a bad manner. She is a heroin. I always thought she kind of reminded me of Sigourney Weaver in Aliens, but I have never thought my comments were insensitive, their opinions. Evoking censorship when it's not even necessary because people are getting offended over their own shadows is insulting to your readers and your fanbase. This means my summer vacation is officially over and I won't be coming back to this site for a few months. I guess I'm the hypersensitive one now.

Law Library: Looming Deadlines for Small business Compliance with the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care)
November 11, 2014 · By Terri Hewlett · No Comments
As everyone knows, The Affordable Care Act and its requirements are highly complex and has been the subject of numerous debates by politicians from all parties. The 2,000 plus page document has left businesses and individuals alike scratching their heads about what the law requires and how it will ultimately impact them. Because of this confusion and overall lack of understanding the deadlines for businesses to comply with the Affordable Care Act have been continuously pushed back. The individual mandates, however, have been in force for some time. From a business standpoint, although the law mandates health insurance coverage, not every business will be affected. The summary below gives a snapshot of the Affordable Care Act mandates for businesses, which are driven primarily by the number of full-time employees that the business has throughout the year:

Queries & Quandaries: Wire Anchors for Interior Stone Cladding
November 11, 2014 · By Terri Hewlett · No Comments
Q: I've been asked to review a shop drawing submission for interior stone cladding. The shop drawings call for wire tie anchors, of which I am not a fan. I don't like the idea of stacking the weight of the stone to the lower courses, I don't like the difficulty encountered should a piece need to be replaced, and I've always struggled with understanding how they work. What pulls the wire tight in this system?

Construction Corner: Builders Optimism Best in Almost 9 Years. Will it Last?
November 11, 2014 · By Terri Hewlett · No Comments
Now that American home builders have raised their expectations to a nearly nine-year high, the question is will future performance justify the heady feeling generated in a 59 reading on the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index in September.
The report said the index showed a firming job market has begun to unleash pent-up demand and builders have reported a sharp pickup in buyer traffic since early summer.

A Note from Jim - Perspectives from Marmomacc 2014
November 11, 2014 · By Garen Distelhorst · 1 Comment
What a difference a year can make. In 2013, I attended my very first Marmomacc in Verona, Italy. It was a little intimidating, but we had coordinated the location of the MIA booth to be adjacent to Hanley Wood Exhibitions (StonExpo) and Stone World magazine, so I was surrounded by very good industry colleagues whom I have known for years.
The size of the show was something I had not seen before and I wondered how one person could staff the MIA booth, meet all of the MIA members exhibiting, and call on prospective members. Truth be told, there wasn't much one person could do, but a strategy for 2014 was developed at that show. Fast forward to 2014; hard work by several key volunteers, industry partners, and staff provided the best Marmomacc the MIA has had in recent memory. One of my mentors often states, "Create a plan and then work the plan." We did just that.

Last Chance to Participate in the Free Fabricator Benchmarking Survey Underway
November 11, 2014 · By Garen Distelhorst · No Comments
The Marble Institute of America (MIA) has released the 6th annual MIA Fabricator Benchmarking Survey. The free survey is made possible by grants received from Cosentino USA, KOHLER CO., and Tenax USA. Deadline to participate is November 15th.
Participation in the survey is available to all fabricators in North America. The survey is confidential and every participating company receives a customized report comparing their firm with firms of similar size and provides suggestions for improving profitability.
Peter de Kok of Granite Mountain Enterprises, who assisted in the survey creation, said, "A benchmarking survey is the modern way to get the stone industry out of the stone ages. If you want to know where you fit in the North American natural stone industry and particularly you geographical area, there is no better way to do so than benchmarking. The TISE East tradeshow in Miami is a convenient way to participate. Stop by the MIA booth to fill out the survey. If you won't be in Miami this year, go to www.marble-institute.com/2014survey."

Colin Kaepernick has the job from the start this season, and the feeling is the flashy quarterback is more than capable of leading the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl championship.
