See all posts tagged with Albert Pujols »
The St. Louis Cardinals have won the 2011 World Series in a dramatic comeback against the Texas Rangers. Now the big question arises: What's next for Albert Pujols?
Pujols was asked that question after his team had won Game 7 last night, but Pujols remained quiet on the issue. With free agency beginning next week, both the Cardinals and Pujols need to make a decision.
The World Series win definitely helps their chances at re-signing Pujols, but other teams are willing to break the bank on him. The Red Sox could still sign Pujols, but that means him more than likely playing DH and David Ortiz not returning. The Chicago Cubs and Theo Epstein need to make a big splash and what bigger splash than landing the biggest name in baseball away from your rival. The Cubs have the money, but Epstein needs to sell him on the idea.
Another surprising team could be the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers expect Prince Fielder to leave so use that money to sign Albert Pujols and it would make a slight improvement to an already pretty good team. And what free agency season would be complete without the New York Yankees. The Yankees have a ton of money and are willing to throw it around, so why not attempt to sign Pujols? The Yankees would be willing to offer him $300 million. The Yanks already have Mark Teixiera at first, but one or the other could play DH, a huge upgrade from the aging Jorge Posada.
However, the Cardinals seem to be the favorite and rightfully so. Why would Pujols leave the only team he ever played for? He has already won two titles with them and they have a young electrifying team who can easily repeat next year. The Cardinals need to keep Pujols around as a mentor to all the young players if they want to continue their success. They need him more than he needs them. If you ask me, the St. Louis Cardinals re-sign Albert Pujols and make him a Cardinal for life.
With the 2011 Major League Baseball season winding down we are now left to face a long, cold winter. With the long winter comes the MLB Free Agency season and one team in particular, the Boston Red Sox, have some holes to fill and a lot of question marks. Here are just some of the names I believe Ben Cherington and the Red Sox brass should take a look at:
The Red Sox have a huge need when it comes to starting pitching. John Lackey is very inconsistent and Red Sox Nation's patience has grown thin and Daisuke Matsuzaka probably not coming back, it just makes sense to look at Buehrle. Mark Buehrle has been a consistent pitcher for the Chicago White Sox and has never missed a start since his career began back in 2001. This is in contrast to Lackey, Beckett, Buchholz, and Dice-K who seemingly miss starts. Buehrle is a great southpaw and would give Boston a great 1-2 punch with Jon Lester. Mark Buehrle also is the only pitcher in history to throw multiple no-hitters and win multiple Gold Gloves.
The Red Sox need a right fielder. Bad. J.D. Drew just is cutting it and is likely gone. Jason Kubel seems to be a good fit and would be considerably cheaper than Carl Crawford. Kubel is a left handed bat and, although not a power hitter, would enjoy the confines of Fenway Park. Right field at Fenway is 302 down the line and Kubel could easily increase his home run totals.
The Sox bullpen, while improved from 2010, still needs help. Jonathan Broxton might be that answer. Broxton seemed to have lost his touch in 2011 losing his closer's role, but could help Daniel Bard bridge the gap between starter to Papelbon (or whoever is the closer). If Papelbon leaves town, Broxton could be a closer considering Daniel Bard's breakdown down the stretch and inexperience at closing so you need some veterans in that bullpen. Broxton should be looked at.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia had a better than expected season in Boston, but is he really the answer? Ryan Doumit, while not fantastic behind the plate, could be a great compliment to Salty. Doumit is durable for a catcher too. He has played in right field and first base in the past for the Pirates. Saltalamacchia and Doumit could make a solid catching tandem, not fantastic, but just enough to get by.
This is a long shot, but the Sox could use Fielder if Big Papi leaves. Ortiz has stated that the drama in Boston has gotten to be too much and could leave Boston. That would open the door for Prince Fielder. However, Fielder would almost certainly have to play Designated Hitter with Adrian Gonzalez at first base and being a better defensive player. Fielder is younger than Pujols and will cost less money, but the Sox have that money? I don't think the Red Sox will sign him but they should at least kick the tires.
That is just some of the names I think Boston should go after. Ben Cherington has a tough task in front of him, but I think he will make some good moves and improve from last year. First and foremost, he needs to re-sign Ortiz and Papelbon. If not it will be that much harder to fill those gaps left in their wake.
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the Red Sox. The Red Sox drama sounds more and more like a soap opera everyday.
Today's installment of As the Red Sox World Turns, David Ortiz has said that he is fed up with the drama in Boston and might consider signing with the Yankees. Ortiz said, ""There's too much drama, man, there's too much drama. I have been thinking about a lot of things. I don't know if I want to be part of this drama for next year" and has heard that playing for the Yankees is a good situation to be in. The Yankees need a middle of the order presence and Ortiz fits that mold, so why not? Plus it would be a huge coup if the Yankees can steal a beloved Red Sox player.
Just two weeks ago, Ortiz stated that he wanted to return to Fenway next season. That was before the mudslinging and the departure of Theo Epstein. Since the season ended, reports have come out saying Terry Francona was distracted by martial problems and a substance abuse problem, pitchers partying down in the clubhouse during games, and players revolting against ownership over a doubleheader against Oakland. The Yankees will overpay for Ortiz that is a given, but will Ortiz bite? If Ortiz does sign with the Bronx Bombers it will erase everything he has done for Red Sox Nation and make him a vilified figure in Boston. Ortiz has to do what he has to do and if it is signing with the Yankees so be it.
When Ortiz leaves, it does give the Red Sox more money to go after bigger names like Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder. Question is would any of them be willing to play DH with first base occupied by Adrian Gonzalez? Pujols will most likely re-sign with the Cardinals because he seems like a pretty loyal player and is known as one of the greatest Cards of all time and the Cardinals will break the bank for him. Fielder has previously stated that this season will probably be his last in Milwaukee. So the Red Sox have a better chance of signing Fielder than they do with Pujols. Fielder, if he does sign with Boston, would almost have to play DH because Gonzalez is better defensively. Problem is Fielder doesn't play any other position and a move to Boston seems unlikely. A move to the AL seems unlikely. When it is all said and done Pujols and Fielder don't end up in Beantown.
In my opinion, Ortiz has played his last game in Boston as the drama has gotten to be too much for him. It will be hard for new General Manager Ben Cherington to replace him during free agency without Pujols and Fielder. Red Sox fans, you are witnessing the beginning of the end.

Saudi stocks sink to 3-week low
Saudi Arabia's bourse ended at a three-week low as petrochemical and banking shares weighed following a drop in oil prices and global stocks.
The index of the largest Arab stock market fell 1.3 per cent to its lowest close since April 16. The petrochemical sector benchmark dropped 1.5pc and the banking index declined 1.4pc.
Heavyweights Saudi Basic Industries Corp (Sabic) and Al Rajhi Bank were down 1.7pc and 1.3pc respectively. Global stocks swooned and crude oil tumbled on Friday after a weak US jobs report and data that suggested a deeper recession across the euro zone than previously thought dented sentiment.
Earlier in the day, the index was down 1.6pc, as the petrochemical sector benchmark dropped 2pc and the banking index lost 1.5pc. Heavyweights Sabic and Al Rajhi Bank were down 1.9pc and 1.3pc respectively.

Question & Answers
Stuck on mine?
So I'm currently playing the game w?out spending any actual money aka for free, and I hit a level where the requirement was to reach silver level in mining. It says its free, but when i click it it says I don't have enough cash. How am I supposed do complete this?
Answer from: Kawaii
The silver mine actually costs 20 cash, it may just be an error in your game saying it doesn't, but it does. In the silver mine you can earn more cash, abundances of food, coin, wood, and etc as well as cash. To get cash really fast I wouldbjust use the free prospecting mine, and try blowing up smaller rocks that are closer together. Try setting the time in your settings to a day ahead, to continue prospecting more than waiting the usuall 24 hour format. Hope this helps :)

Launch2net Mobile Connection Manager
At Macworld, Nova Media (which we previously mentioned for expanding phone support in iSync) demonstrated their launch2net, a new piece of software that might be very handy for the globe-trotting MacBook (Pro) user. It's a connection manager that allows you to get online with a variety of GSM ExpressCard and USB devices. It automatically handles "all necessary network settings" to get online with, according to them at least, a single click. This could be very useful for using ExpressCard devices that don't have built-in OS X drivers.

But free standing would be so much nicer for such a thing. also would be much easier for camping on platforms.

Latinos and Citizenship: The Dilemma of Belonging
Suzanne Oboler
Palgrave Macmillan, Oct 31, 2006 - Political Science - 339 pages
This book explores the extent to which the varied political status of Latinos is changing the meaning of citizenship and belonging in the United States. It brings together broad theoretical considerations of citizenship with discussions of historical and contemporary case studies pertaining to Latinos and current debates on citizenship. Focusing on Latinos' historical and continuing struggles against exclusion, the authors of this anthology discuss issues such as Latinos' multiple national allegiances, dual citizenship, the changing meaning(s) of belonging, their transnational political and social participation, the question of language and citizenship, regional cultural citizenship and loyalties, and the mobilization of Latino youth in their struggle to affirm their rights and belonging in US society.

Nice apartment hotelPosted Sep 22, 2014
It is a nice hotel apartment if you are adventurous and only looking for a place to sleep...the location is perfect for getting arround since it is on the street where the buses passes and it is a 5min walk from the beach...the rooms are cleaned each morning...the only disadvantage is that at night there is some noise from the nearby restaurants but the window is double glazed and most probably you will too tired to hear anything

Great holiday :)Posted Aug 7, 2014
We stayed there at the aparts. It was a very good experience for us. We had a balcony covered up with lovely flowers. Rooms are comfy and clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. If you have a problem just go find Berkay and it will be solved right away:) Just be aware that some of the eco. aparts does not have windows in the bedroom. Have fun!

Its okay if you just want some where to sleep.Posted Jul 30, 2014
On arrival, staff were unorganised. Had to change room because toilet was broken. The room was just okay nothing like premier inn. Few staff were very friendly however towards the end of the stay, I dealt with a rude receptionist and the hotel owner shouted at me because I was swimming at 3am when the pool was closed. He could have asked nicley because I never knew it closes after 2am. Overall It was okay, it could have been better if those little things didnt happen.

Don't book this!!!!!Posted Jul 28, 2014
Pros: One porter was incredibly helpful and fixed the air con in the bedroom
Cons: Don't charge twice, allocate accommodation as booked and appropriate to families/ children - don't ask if you don't care about accommodating kids
Location: Lots of bars, stalks, restaurants - excellent restaurant is Carnaval
Booked in for an overnight stay prior to catching early flight out - 2 adults and 2 children. This was on the booking confirmation and we had confirmed a king or queen bed plus sofa bed to sleep our family of 4. Arrived 9pm - staff didn't seem to expect us - took us to owner manager in next door hotel - he took my confirmation printout and said I need to pay 53 Euro - I'd already paid £56 to expedia - however too late to argue and find somewhere else so paid up just get dinner, kids sorted and into bed - took us to Maison 48 next door again - apparently he owns/runs the 3 hotels. There was 1 bedroom, a tiny shower/toilet and a sitting room kitchenette - 4 single beds - not great but it sufficed for such a short stay. However the apartment was right next to the street which was pumping out loud music, shouts, car screeches and all manner of revelry. In no way appropriate for a family with young children (ages requested when booking) the windows and doors did nothing to stop any of the noise so none of us got any sleep till 1am - we were up and out at 5.30 am to catch our flight. Essentially you can't guarantee what you've booked - it may be in any 1 of 3 hotels and you'll probably be charged again or more! Dreadful.

DUBLIN, April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/359dnc/indonesia_air) has announced the addition of the "Indonesia Air Conditioners Market Forecast and Opportunities to 2018" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
According to Indonesia Air Conditioners Market Forecast & Opportunities to 2018, majority of the demand for air conditioners is being contributed by the residential sector, but demand from industrial sector is expected to grow at a higher rate because of the implementation of the government's MP3EI Master Plan 2011-2025, which aims at developing economic corridors across all the six regions of the country. It is forecast that Indonesia's air conditioners market will grow at the CAGR of around 13% during 2013-18. The Java region of Indonesia holds the major market share in the Indonesia's air conditioner market, as majority of the country's population resides in this region. However, growing urban population, increasing per capita income and rapid industrialization are likely to fuel the demand for air conditioners in the Sumatra region during the next five years. The key players operating in Indonesia's air conditioning market include Sharp Electronics, Toshiba, Panasonic, LG, Samsung, and Hitachi, with LG holding the leadership position.
Indonesia is the fourth most populated country in the world and consists of 1,750 islands. The country faces extreme humidity throughout the year, which necessitates the requirement for cooling and ventilation. This is contributing significantly to the demand for air conditioners in the country. In addition, the market is also witnessing rapid increase in demand for air conditioners due to the growth in hospitality and food service industries in Indonesia. The split air conditioners segment will continue to dominate the air conditioning market in Indonesia during the forecast period. It is also expected that with increasing awareness about energy conservation, the demand for low voltage and low watt air conditioners would also increase over the coming years. The market is also witnessing an increase in demand for air purifier based air conditioners, and this segment is expected to grow further as a result of increasing awareness about air pollution and its adverse effects on health and environment.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

A tree-harvester operating system for controlling in particular the tree-feeder motors (5), the crosscut saw (6) and the cylinder (18) operating the function of the feeder and the limbing blades, especially in grapple processors. A simple operating system has been achieved by taking advantage of a two-direction feeding of pressurized oil by means of two delivery lines (2) and (3). By preventing the rotation of the tree-feeder motors (5) and by allowing at this time only one flow direction of pressurized oil to the crosscut saw, it has thus been possible to utilized the pressurized oil drive opposite to this flow direction of the saw (6) separately for the cylinder (18) which operates the function of the feeder and the limbing blades, the direction of movement of the cylinder (18) depending on the position of valve (15).
1. An electrohydraulic operating system for a tree harvester, said system comprising:
a first and a second pressure oil line, each one capable of serving as a feed line and, alternatively, as a return line, so as to provide for the flow of oil in one or the other direction through said system;
a first motor for a tree-feeding device, said motor being of a reversible type and connected between the first and second pressure oil lines;
a second motor for a cutting saw, said motor being of one-directional type and connected between said first and second pressure oil lines;
power cylinder means for effecting gripping of the tree during feeding and cutting operations;
first valve means coupled in series with the first motor;
second valve means coupled in series with the second motor;
first control means for opening of said first and second valve means alternatively and for preventing simultaneous opening of the first and second valve means; and
second control means for operating said power cylinder means and for inhibiting operation of the first control means until the power cylinder means has reached a tree-gripping position.
2. Operating system according to claim 1, further comprising a return oil duct essentially smaller than said first and second pressure oil lines and connected to an outlet pipe of the power cylinder means.
3. Operating system according to claim 1, wherein the first control means comprises an electric directional valve controlling said first and second valve means and adapted to connect a controlling oil pressure duct for said first and second valve means alternatively to pressure side pipes of said power cylinder means or to outlet pipes of said power cylinder means.
4. Operating system according to claim 1, wherein the second control means comprises an electrical directional valve.
The present invention relates to an operating system for a tree harvester, specifically a grapple processor. The operating system is used for controlling and operating the hydraulic motors of the tree feeder and the crosscut saw and further the hydraulic cylinders required by the operation of the feeder and the limbing blades.
Previously the control and operating valves in a processor were placed in the power take-off machine itself. In such a case, separate hydraulic lines for all functions were directed via the loading jibs. But in such a case at least six hydraulic lines from the basic machine to the processor are required. Thus a tree harvester, intended as an accessory, was not easy to install even in terms of the lines alone, not to speak of the installation of many new additional valves in the power take-off machine.
Nowadays the aim is to place the processor control valves in the processor itself, but it is necessary to use large-sized valve groups for the control of the necessary hydraulic operations. This for its part increases the weight of the equipment and requires several electrical cables between the power take-off machine and the tree harvester.
Furthermore, these control valves implemented using conventional technology usually require a constant-pressure pump, and soft control of these valves with so-called on-off valves is not possible. Likewise, it is difficult to place in the driver's cabin of the power take-off machine the control levers required by the plurality of functions.
In grapple processors, hydraulics is required during the limbing movement, i.e. the feeding of the tree, for the crosscut saw, and also for pressing the rolls or rollers of the feeder against the tree. In general, the operating movements of the limbing blades are also in the same circuit, i.e. when the feeder is pressed against the tree also the limbing blades move towards the tree. In several grapple processors these have a common double-acting hydraulic cylinder.
A grapple processor thus requires at least one hydraulic motor for the feeding of the tree. This motor must be able to rotate in both directions. Furthermore, the crosscut saw requires pressurized oil in order to rotate in one direction. This operation takes place always at a time different from the time of the feeding in of the tree. Thus, for gripping the tree and for the limbing blades at least one double-acting hydraulic cylinder is required. By means of this cylinder the pulling rolls and the limbing blades are pressed against the tree. The feeding of the tree and the crosscut saw require pressurized oil about 150 l/min, whereas the cylinder of the feeder and the limbing blades requires only about 30 l/min for the on-off action. During limbing, as the diameter of the tree varies, the cylinder needs pressurized oil only to keep the feeder rolls and the limbing blades pressed against the tree, the pressurized-oil requirement being only about 10 l/min.
In the operating system according to the invention, advantage is taken of the unidirectional pressurized-oil requirement of the saw motor, whereupon all the functions of the grapple processor can be realized simply by utilizing the reversing valve in the power take-off machine. This valve may be, for example the on-off direction control valve of the timber grapple, the valve becoming free when the grapple is replaced by a processor. In this case the controlling of the entire processor requires only two pressurized-oil lines dimensioned for actual power transmission between the power take-off machine and the processor. A third line is required for the return oils of the control valves and the feeder and the limbing blades. In this line the flow volume is low. Furthermore, two separate electromechanical small direction-control valves are required; one controls the pressure of the pulling rolls and the limbing blades and the other controls the on-off valves of the tree feeder motors and the saw motor. Two electrical cables between the power take-off machine and the processor suffice for the control of these electromechanical direction-control valves, since the metal frame structures can serve as the grouding wire.
By adding only two small electric switches in conjunction with the on-off direction-control valve of the timber grapple in the power take-off machine and by adding between the power take-off machine and the processor one return-oil line, described above, in addition to the two electrical cables, most power take-off machines can be used as the power take-off machine for the grapple processor, without any other changes in the hydraulics. The valves placed in the processor part may all be so-called on-off valves, since the speed of the operations is controlled by means of the direction-control valve in the power take-off machine.
The accompanying drawing depicts diagrammatically the operating system according to the invention.
As is evident from the FIGURE, hydraulic-oil lines 2 and 3 and return-oil line 4 lead from the power take-off machine to the tree harvester 1. Line 2 connects valves 8 and 10. Line 3 connects valves 7 and 9. Line 4 connects the return lines of valves 14 and 15. Line 13 connects valves 14 and 11 and 20. Working pressure from line 2 or 3 acts on line 13 by transmission of valves 7, 8, 11 and 12.
From valve 14, control pressurized-oil line 19 leads to valves 7, 8 and 9 (dashed lines). The tree-feeder motor 5 is between valves 7 and 8. The crosscut-saw motor 6 is between valves 9 and 10. The operating cylinder 18 of the feeder and the limbing blades is connected to valve 15 by means of lines 17 and 16. Valves 7 and 8 are preferably counterbalance valves which can be opened by the control pressure. Valve 9 for its part can preferably be closed by the control pressure, e.g. a seat valve, i.e. through-flow of valve 9 is possible when the control pressure is not effective in line 19.
Valves 10, 11 and 12 are ordinary counterbalance valves. Valves 14 and 15 are electromechanical 2-position direction-control valves. Between lines 13 and 4 there is a pressure-limiting valve 20. This is so because, when a tree is limbed from the top towards the base, while the cylinder 18 is moving towards the open-movement direction, excess oil can pass via line 13 to return line 14 via tne pressure-limiting valve 20. Likewise, the tree-feeder motor 5 is protected by pressure-limiting valve 20. Operation on the basis of the FIGURE. The gripping of a tree takes place as follows. Pressurized oil is fed along line 2 from the power take-off machine to the tree harvester 1. Along line 2, oil can pass only via valve 8 and counterbalance valve 12 to direction-control valves 14 and 15 along line 13. The pressurized oil can flow further via valve 15 along line 17 into the cylinder 18, which is moving towards the right in the FIGURE.
The movement continues until the feeder rolls and the limbing blades press against the surface of the tree to be handled, i.e. the desired pressure is effective in the cylinder 18; only thereafter can the crosscut sawing or tree feeding be started.
The feeding in of the tree takes place by feeding pressurized oil, for example, via line 3 to the tree harvester 1 and by at the same time energizing valve 14, whereupon pressurized oil passes via line 3, valve 7, counterbalance valve 11 and valve 14 in order to open valves 7 and 8. At the same time, valve 9 closes. Now oil can pass to the tree-feeder motor 5 (there can be several motors), and the motor begins to rotate in the pre-selected direction, thereby feeding in the tree. Via valve 11 and line 13 and valve 15, the pressurized oil in line 3 keeps the cylinder 18 pressurized, and so the tree is held by the feeder rolls and the limbing blades. If it is desired to perform a crosscut sawing, current is cut off from valve 14, whereupon control pressure in line 19 ceases, and at the same time valves 7 and 8 of the tree-feeder motor 5 close. As the pressurized oil continues to have effect in line 3, valve 9 opens and the saw motor 6 starts. At the end of the sawing, valve 14 is again energized, whereupon the valves 7 and 8 of the feeder motor 5 again open and valve 9 closes. By feeding pressurized oil from the power take-off machine into line 2, valve 14 being without current, whereupon valve 9 of the saw 6 is open but counterbalance valve 10 prevents the motor 6 from rotating, pressurized oil passes via counterbalance valve 12 along pipe 13 into valve 15. When not energized, valve 15 closes, and when energized, it opens the feeder and the limbing blades by means of the cylinder 18.
Thus, via two electrical cables and three pressurized-oil pipes, it is possible to control and operate all the functions of the tree-harvester. This, for its part, facilitates and simplifies the coupling of grapple processors to existing forwarders, and also reduces the costs. In many forwarders the feeding of oil into lines 2 and 3 can be carried out by using, for example, the on-off direction-control valve of the grapple. Furthermore, it is possible advantageously to add the electric switches of the two direction-control valves 14 and 15 to the manual lever of this direction-control valve. In the operating system according to the invention, one pressure-limiting valve 20 suffices for protecting the tree-feeder motor 5 and the hydraulic cylinder 18 of the feeder and the limbing blades. This for its part reduces the weight and the space requirement.

But, difficulty? That will turn me off to the replayability factor, if it's like XY... Also the frame rate during hordes, still the same?
Chill out people, all this effort complaining about a title you're not going to buy. Focus on what you're buying.
@Pokefraker The chance for that has significantly decreased, unless there was a deal in place pre-acquisition...
So we'll take the clones, speaking on the clones...
How many of them are there now?
Funnily enough I just bought a pack of Doritos, dear god what does that make of me?
I wasn't even aware this was a thing.
Mathematics (450) = Variety. I heavily doubt Nintendo have published 450 titles in under 3 yrs for Wii U.
My misguided opinion has been clear, your clearly misunderstood ("list all the genres Nintendo have worked in for Wii U") that to mean every single title on Wii U. So I'll stop right here.
@Platypus101 There's a saying: don't judge a book by its cover but do as you please.
Sorry I don't hand out positive comments on a gold filled platter plate. For no company.
@sugarshack Oh dear someone who has been reading too much PR gospel. Prove it, list all genres Nintendo have worked in for Wii U and get back to me.
Oh my how many crossovers are there?
@NameDifferent I know.
Oh my. My email inbox is lighting up!
With people either agreeing, Gleefully playing around word supplementary in regards to Wii U, cherry picking, acknowledging that you'll need a PC or a one or a four for variety, generalisations on One/Four games and something else... I can't deal with all that, although I have responses in mind...
My point still stands, you have to look beyond the generalisations.
@PinkSpider Pokemon and Mario games, so yes Nintendo is as guilty in annualisation than Activision (even more so actually).
Yes I am talking about the almighty God Nintendo.
"What do the other consoles offer? Fps, fps, fps, fps, driving, driving, driving, driving, fighting." A lot more than Wii U and a lot more genres than that. Where are stealth action adventures games? The fighting games? The driving games? The open world games? The horror games? Again, it's a problem and it's obvious. Cherry pick all you want, the genres aren't present on Wii U whereas on the other consoles that's already been fulfilled within less than a year.
"but at least the games can't be mistaken for each other."
New Super Mario Bros. If you're going to cherry pick examples to support your (wrong) point, I'll do the same.
What a load of BS.
Your nonexistent third party support or being "different" is not better than the other two consoles. It never will be, that's why Wii U is pinned as "supplementary console", you can't own it without owning another platform unless you're not a fan of variety.
May 2015? The Nintendo EU/UK Twitter Account said so.
Theres going to be some disappointed faces come Wednesday.
I'm only expecting Fall 2014 - Spring 2015 titles as stated.
@babyguess So no Zelda U? Well that narrows it down.
Bomb: Unless it is a Spring 2015 title?
@BioOrpheus Yeah that one fell under the radar recently.
@AlexOlney Pretty sure theres a Half Life 3 confirmed! Joke in there somewhere...
Well that came out of nowhere...
Let's hope it's better than previous Nintendo directs...
Cringeworthy, boring and a distinct lack of heavy hitters. Mind you Treehouse fixed all that.
@VolcanoFlamesNL Third party support = gaps in the lineup = abridged momentum.
First: we have never spoken about this before.
Second: It has nothing to do with whether I'll believe or not, their European publishing is very much a problem and SEGA (oh please) despite the acquisition aren't stepping in. Acquisition by SEGA doesn't mean Atlus has immediate access to their European branch, that's not how it works. Companys in Atlus's position usually operate like they did pre-acquisition.
Third: I don't know where you're getting your information from but the official word is 'We are pleased to be bringing Persona 4 Arena Ultimax to Europe, but but this does not currently reflect a long term publishing deal between Sega Europe and Atlus USA'.

ARDMORE, Okla. -- The season of giving is just around the corner, and the Salvation Army started their Red Kettle Kickoff on Wednesday.
It's been an on-going tradition since 1891 for the Salvation Army. On Wednesday they kicked off their humanitarian campaign with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Wal-Mart in Ardmore.
Of course the goal of the Salvation Army is raise as much money so families can have a wonderful holiday season
"We have the Kettle campaign to raise money for food for families, Christmas presents, that type of thing," said Sandra Pruitt with the Ardmore Salvation Army.
You can also make donations at the Salvation Army office in Ardmore.

On any given night, there are about 14,000 people without a place to call home across Minnesota. One group is hoping to change that by securing tens of millions of dollars this legislative session.
About 600 people are expected to walk up the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol on Thursday as part of Homeless Day on the Hill, which is a push to get more people off the streets. According to Wilder Research, about half of the homeless people in Minnesota are children and youth under 21 years old.
Gov. Mark Dayton currently has $50 million in his bonding proposal specifically set aside for affordable housing. Dayton says it would be the largest bonding investment ever in affordable housing. The Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless and its supporters say that's great – but not enough. They want to increase that amount to $100 million, calling their push Homes for All.
The state is making huge strides in getting veterans off the streets; Minnesota has one of the lowest rates across the nation when it comes to homeless veterans.

Hi Dezt,
PM sent
I'm having a bit of an issue here.
Our core switch is just a gigabit 3Com switch, that when it was purchased was good enough to do the the job it was needed for, but now the head of IT has changed his course 4 times in 5 years and the pupils are now editing videos for the course. This means that up to 52 kids could be accessing the same video and editing it at the same time, which slows the network down. We have a 1Gbs link from the fileserver to the core switch, a 1gbs link to the switch that the client PC's are on then a 100mbs link to the client PC's.
I'm thinking of purchasing a decent core switch, something that isn't £250, that we can manage properly. Now ths is where i'm just guessing, so please tell me if i'm wrong, I have been reading about link aggregation, or teaming which ever you want to call it, and was thinking of doing the following.
having our fileserver with 4 nics and team them up to make a 4gbs nic, then team the ports on a switch that our servers connect to to mirror this. Then connecting the server switch to our core switch with a team of at least 4Gbs. I was then thinking of purchasing 2 new 48 port switches for our 2 IT suites and teaming either 2 or 4 ports together and connecting them to the core switch.
So if i'm right it will be like this,
Server -4Gbs- Switch -4Gbs- Core -either 2Gbs or 4Gbs- ICT Suite switch
Does this sound like a plan to help speed things up? Is it possible and will it work?
Also, can anyone recommend some decent switches that I can use for this if it will work? We are running 3Com at the moment, but if all goes well I may be replacing all the switches we have, but the ICT suites are the most important at the moment.
Hi Dezt,

Personally running our main file storage of a single 1GB link and we have about 400 people accessing this at once - up to 500 max, including the media editing students. Access is quick, no noticable speed degradation during the most busy times. I'll likely make this a 2GB link soon, but it's highly unlikely you need anything more than that unless you have a particularly large amount of students/machines. If you have X amount of kids accesing X server at once you also need to factor in the disk reads/writes on the server, as they're a likely bottleneck on per user access speeds.
On most school networks a 1GB/s link doesn't get fully saturated, 2GB/s is a good idea in areas with alot of machines or for file servers, teamed ports isn't necessary in most situations though, let alone 4GB/s. Best bet is to do some research into the current network usage and find the specific bottleneck to ensure that it is definitely the problem. If i'm wrong i'll eat my hat (obviously depends on the setup and size of your network as to whether i am right though )
Also your best off getting a single quad port NIC rather than 4 seperate NICs.
EDIT: im guessing if your using a £250 core switch it's probably not a very big network? We're running on a HP8206zl here which cost us a little over £10k, though we have quite a complicated VLAN setup...which i'd recommend if your not doing that already!
Thanks for that, i''l take a look at what may be causing the bottleneck. Thinking about what you said about the 4 port nic, it makes sense, rather than use 4 seperate nics.
We have about 350 machines on the curric network, so I could do with a better core switch, it was purchased at the time as a 24 port gigabit switch so we could have 1Gbs uplink from our edge switches and 1Gbs links to the servers. Our link to the desktops is 100Mbs.
Can anyone suggest a good core switch that would run at at least 1Gbs, i've started to look at Cisco now as they don't seem to be as expensive as HP, and we don't have much money.
