4. Placeholders
5. View Helpers (as now)
The purpose of the Zend_View Enhanced proposal is to propose the addition of Zend_View_Abstract methods, and Zend_View_Helper_* classes, which in combination provide for the ability to generate output in a flexible manner which adheres to the separation of Controller and View, advocates decoupling, and maintains backwards compatibility with the 1.0.0GA version of the Framework, and subsequent minor releases.
At present, Zend_View is a strict implementation of the Template View design pattern. It excels at templating, but has no native functionality for handling several key requirements of the View. This typically includes decorating templates with a common layout, supporting the rendering of templates in their own independent variable scope, allowing templates to transport additional presentation logic into other templates transparently, making calls into the Controller for additional embeddable output, and capturing common presentation logic as View Helpers. Suggested terms for these features:
1. Layouts
The common perception is that the Controller is required to facilitate many of these View features. Unfortunately, this is misleading. These approaches have no such dependency on the Controller unless such a dependency is implemented purposefully. All of the above are already standard for templating engines in several frameworks - even Smarty has native capabilities for many of these. The Controller is not a requirement for their implementation.
The argument this idea springs from is that Controller based solutions inevitably require far more code. This in turn requires more processing (and a possible performance hit), and the writing of a multitude of additional Controllers. Controller based approaches usually violate KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) and are not a replacement for View based functions which are available as part and parcel of the template syntax.
The proposal, however, makes no assumptions about the Controller. The only such assumption is that a minor issue may be resolved (#ZF-1545). If no resolution is forthcoming, an alternate means of implementation may be used.
The proposed additions maintain Zend_View's decoupling from Zend_Controller. They should (as a requirement) have no conflict with Controller integrated strategies for similar features. There are therefore no conflicts with the addition of Controller based variants for Layouts such as the introduction of a Two-Step View implementation. It is noted that
The additions are therefore quite straight forward, easy to implement, and pose no threat to backwards compatibility.

- Symfony Documentation for its View Layer
- The venerable Smarty library (much of the above is already possible using plain old Smarty)
- The Struts2 Tiles Tag Library
3. Component Requirements, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria
- Must implement the 4 view construction strategies (Layout, Partial, Controller, Placeholder)
- Must implement several specialised View Helpers for controlling Element additions to the <head>
- Must maintain backwards compatibility with Zend_View and Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer
- Must (where feasible) be implemented as default View Helpers
- Should not prevent or restrict Controller derived strategies for output construction
- Must be accompanied by a full set of integration tests prior to acceptance in Core
- May optionally require adoption of the setters suggested in #ZF-1545
4. Dependencies on Other Framework Components
- Zend_View_Abstract
- Zend_View_Exception
- Zend_Controller_* (only for Controller strategy)
5. Theory of Operation
Zend_View Enhanced advocates a template driven approach to output generation. As templates are rendered by Zend_View, the templates themselves may invoke Partials and Controllers, as well as set Placeholder content (template specific or default) which is centrally stored for higher level and subsequent templates (such as Layouts) to utilise. Layouts are applied at the end of any Zend_View instance's rendering process to take advantage of Placeholders, and their specialised variants.
Partials: Partials simply render a specified template within it's own separate variable scope. This is useful for reusable template fragments, avoids variable name clashes, and allows configuration of Partials to include from independent Modules (i.e. using that Module's helpers/filters/paths). At a higher level, Partials implement the Composite View design pattern allowing for the generation of a tree of View objects for even more flexibility.
Controllers: Dispatches a request to the Controller which returns output for embedding in a template. This must be compatible with ViewRenderer. May be used for querying the Model, but it's generally recommended to use a View Helper where possible. Most likely useful where authentication or authorisation must also be queried before Model access, or where existing Controllers can be reused as an alternative to implementing more View Helpers.
Layouts: Decorates the main output of a Zend_View instance with a Layout template composed of common page elements and Placeholders for context specific additions which are defined by templates prior to the Layout rendering. Layouts in Zend_View are implemented in a simple manner - they are the only feature requiring editing of Zend_View_Abstract.
HTML <head> View Helpers: Utilise Placeholders in a pre-defined namespace to dynamically control the construction of a Layout's <head> section. This eases the common use cases of using sub-templates to dynamically define additional Javascript, CSS, Metas, and other such elements for inclusion in a Layout.
6. Milestones / Tasks
- Milestone 1: Write unit tests capturing the agreed interface and behaviour
- Milestone 2: Write the code required to pass all unit tests
- Milestone 3: Write integration tests to cover various edge cases
- Milestone 4: Verify that code does not compromise backwards compatibility with ZF 1.0.0GA
- Milestone 5: Complete documentation
7. Class Index
- Zend_View_Abstract
- Zend_View_Factory
- Zend_View_Helper_Placeholder
- Zend_View_Helper_Controller
- Zend_View_Helper_Partial
- Zend_View_Helper_HeadTitle
- Zend_View_Helper_HeadScript
- Zend_View_Helper_HeadLink
- Zend_View_Helper_HeadMeta
- Zend_View_Helper_HeadStyle
- Zend_View_Helper_Doctype
8. Use Cases
Partial Use Case
Partials render a template fragment at a specific location within another template. They are rendered in a separate variable scope with a Model supplied by the parent template. It is assumed Partials can therefore be easily rendered from different Modules.
Partials implement the Composite View Pattern defined in J2EE Design Patterns. Although template fragment rendering is likely the majority use case, partials are infinitely nestable and can thus compose a nested tree of Zend_View objects for above average complex Views.
Controller Use Case
The Controller View Helper enables templates to dispatch any given Controller and Action. The contents of the Response object resulting from this dispatch is then rendered in the calling template. Controller should never be used to alter the Model in this fashion - but are highly usable to enable the embedding of an existing Controller's output into an application.
Layout Use Case
Layouts are templates which decorate the rendered output of a View. The decoration is handled internally by Zend_View_Abstract::render() by allowing Layouts to define an insertion point for the main output to be placed. Layouts are quite flexible, the primary insertion point for the main rendered output is just a typical Placeholder proxied by the getContentLayout() method.
Placeholder Use Case
Placeholders are centrally registered pieces of content which all subsequently rendered templates may access. Since Layouts are always rendered last - they may access all set Placeholders. Placeholders may be set with a specific order attached. This is beyond the scope of the the following Use Case which does not differentiate between <head> descendant elements.
9. Class Skeletons
Zend_View_Abstract: Extract showing additional public methods proposed
By allowing templates within the Composite View tree (i.e. nested render() calls, partials etc.) access a central object which all View objects may access as a central Registry, it becomes possible for nested templates, irrespective of nest depth, to influence their top-level decorating Layout, or subsequently rendered templates, by setting values these may later refer to.
All values are stored in arrays. This enables Placeholders to maintain an indexed set of values, where the order of inclusion at a rendering point is determined by this indexation, or a user defined ordering function. At present the ordering defaults to ksort() but can be expanded to allow user defined callback functions to manage such ordering in an easy to modify manner.
This strategy is built into a set of a pre-defined Placeholders for the <head> element of HTML documents in the proposed Zend_View_Helper_Head* helpers. More similar helpers may be proposed if their utility proves valuable. Their purpose is primarily to offer specialised usage of the basic Placeholder class using Proxies which are capable of outputting valid XHTML/HTML using the values set by the template authors, and optionally specific to a defined Doctype.
Zend_View_Factory is a debatable implementation. How does one manage the instantiation and configuration of a View object without Controller access? The ViewRenderer object is very close to being a View Factory, so this class may simply act as a configurable Facade to that class. In either case it must allow for non-conventional directory layouts and thus should be configurable from an application's bootstrap to enable maximum flexibility in how a user may organise View paths.
A small helper delegating to Zend_View_Helper_Placeholder which allows the user to utilise a default Placeholder for the express purpose of defining a page title for insertion into a Layout head element.
A small helper delegating to Zend_View_Helper_Placeholder which allows the user to utilise a default Placeholder for the express purpose of defining page <meta> tags for insertion into a Layout head element.
A small helper delegating to Zend_View_Helper_Placeholder which allows the user to utilise a default Placeholder for the express purpose of defining page <style> tags for insertion into a Layout head element.
Include a Script file, or code block with a <head> element. Can avail of indexation to ensure Scripts are included in a preferred order.
Add a Link element based on an array of attributes to be added to the <head> section of a template or layout. Although this can also handle style sheets, it may prove more useful to use the HeadStyle View Helper to segregate styles from other types of relationship links.
Obtain the Doctype string based on the Standard name for HTML, XHTML, MathML and SVG.

Stylus Magazine was an online music and film magazine launched in 2002. It featured long-form music journalism, four daily music reviews, movie reviews, a number of different podcasts, an MP3 blog, and a text blog.
Additionally, Stylus had daily features like "The Singles Jukebox", which looked at pop singles from around the globe, and "Soulseeking", a column focused on personal responses in listening.
While the site's readership numbers never reached the levels of Pitchfork Media's, it did receive many notices in the press for the quality of its writing. In 2006 it was chosen by the Observer Music Monthly as one of the Internet's 25 most essential music websites.[2]
Stylus closed as a business on October 31, 2007.[3][4] As of February 2013, the site remains online, but is not publishing any new content.
On January 4, 2010, with the blessing of former editor Todd Burns, Stylus senior writer Nick Southall launched The Stylus Decade, a website with a new series of lists and essays reviewing music from the previous ten years.[5] The Singles Jukebox relaunched with many of the same writers as a stand-alone website in March 2009.[6]

Nose: Good balance and complexity with hints of oak, smoke and toffee. There's a good fruity note, with plenty of malt.
Palate: Really malty and quite sweet with honey, fruit and toffee. Supple and sumptuous.
Finish: The finish is long and quite complex with notes of oak, peppy spices, and creamy vanilla.

Hey there! As whisky is made with barley, water and yeast, there shouldn't be anything that doesn't class it as vegan! However, maturation in sherry butts can render it non-vegan. The sources I can find online say that White Horse is vegan, but I cannot guarantee that this is still true, I'm afraid! Your best bet would be to get in touch with the distillery directly. Apologies for not being more helpful! --The Chaps at Master of Malt

well, some of the reviews seem to praise this one - maybe it's just my faulty palate, but drinking this bottle was like smoking a cheap cigar. It's not bad on the first sip, I agree with the review below that states the same, but I'm afraid we enede up drinking up the bottle just so it doesn't go to waste. The taste of the first sip degrades into unpleasant "cheap booze" taste soon..

Had heard decent things about White Horse before trying it, but found it to be horribly awful.
To me, it just tasted like perfumed spirit, and left an uncomfortable burn in my throat.
No pleasant tastes whatsoever, just nasty like cheap alcohol.
It could be that I got a (very) bad bottling - I'll probably never know because I doubt I'll ever taste White Horse again.
I'll ask my mate for a second opinon, but if he doesn't like it, it's going down the sink.

A solid blend. Fairly sweet, almost syrupy, with just a nice hint of smoke. It lacks complexity, but it's good value nonetheless.

Wonderful on the first sip. Smokey and savory. Quickly devolves into a syrupy and oily dram with flavors of cheap cooking oil and cured meats. Gross I know. Halfway through the bottle I was bummed because I don't waste and knew I would have to get through the stuff. It really set me up to be let down because it started off beautifully.

well what can isay about that?first of all fantastic bottle and really rich taste!If you are looking for something special white horse is the name of the game.Cheers!
1st February 2012
This can be aptly described as a solid old world blend. Robust, right amount of peatiness (someone informed that at the heart of this blend was Lagavulin), rich in taste and aroma. An old favourite (have seen the bottle as a toddler!), but unfortunately, don't seem to find it either in the local market in India nor at the duty free shops. Scores over many expensive blends and malts; truly a characteristic whisky.

Within this time, Baltimore's city government has been refashioned and repurposed, from primarily focusing on managing the welfare of its citizenry, to becoming preoccupied with the entrepreneurial restructuring of the city as a motor of private capital accumulation (Harvey, 2001; Silk & Andrews, 2006). The pervasive spread of such reformation relied largely upon the uncritical adoption of neoliberal techniques of governance (Rose, 2001; Ong, 2006), and resulted in virtually uncontested elimination of many public services and agencies, and the increased responsibilitization of individuals and communities for social welfare. Philanthropic and voluntarist contributions of private citizens and organizations have come to address some, though certainly not all, of the shortfall in social welfare provision: This has been but one response to the palpable crises resultant of the continual shift to urban neoliberalism. Illustratively, Baltimore's sizeable homeless population becomes evermore dependent on the benevolence of private corporate social responsibility-directed capital and voluntarist physical labor. Through an empirically- anchored explication, this paper moves with the bodies of one private and voluntarist initiative: the Baltimore chapter of Back On My Feet. Back On My Feet is a non- profit organization that "promotes the self-sufficiency of homeless population by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem" (2010). Within this study, Baltimore's Back On My Feet population is engaged through ethnographically-based inquiry, in order to excavate how the bodies of volunteers and those recovering from addiction or homelessness are mobilized as meaningful and viable apparatuses of neoliberal governance. Understanding Back On My Feet and its participants as constituent and contextual elements, this interpretive analysis suggests: how within a neoliberal conjuncture this form of movement subjectifies particular bodies in service of dominant power relations; and how this movement also shapes bodies in tangential or lateral movements possessive of the potential for negotiating dominant power relations. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z THE EFFECTS OF AN ACUTE BOUT OF EXERCISE UPON BEHAVIORAL RESPONSES TO AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL INDICES OF ATTENTION ALLOCATION IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS Cipriani, Kristin http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15926 2014-10-18T02:30:14Z 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: THE EFFECTS OF AN ACUTE BOUT OF EXERCISE UPON BEHAVIORAL RESPONSES TO AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL INDICES OF ATTENTION ALLOCATION IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS Authors: Cipriani, Kristin Abstract: In both child and adult populations, engagement in frequent physical activity results in a myriad of cognitive benefits, including improved executive functioning. However, the relationship between engagement in acute bouts of physical activity and cognitive processes, such as attention allocation, are less well understood. Methods: This study sought to: 1) Investigate the effects of an acute bout of exercise on behavioral responses; 2) Investigate the effects of an acute bout of exercise on neurophysiological measures; and, 3) Investigate age-related differential effects. EEG was recorded from 32 male participants (n=16 adults, n=16 children 9-11 years of age) who completed a 3-stimulus auditory oddball behavioral task, pre- and post-exercise intervention. Results: Contrary to expectations, this study found that, regardless of age, engagement in an acute bout of exercise did not have a significant effect upon some behavioral and all neurophysiological indices of attention, as measured by response accuracy, reaction time percent difference, and P3a and P3b amplitude, respectively. Moreover, the findings indicate no age-related differential effects of acute exercise on these same indices of attention. However, absolute reaction time results indicate a significant main effect for group (F (1, 21) =4.48, p<0.05) in the block immediately following the acute exercise intervention. Discussion: The relative ease with which both adult and child participants completed the behavioral task indicates that the task may have been simple, rather than executive in nature. Therefore, only some of the behavioral benefits and none of the typical neurophysiological benefits associated with acute exercise bouts were seen in this study, nor were age-related differential effects of acute exercise observed. However, the significant difference in reaction time between intervention and control groups immediately following the intervention, does provide the behavioral results typical of this intervention. Future studies should explore similar acute exercise interventions in combination with a varied behavioral task (e.g., a modified 3-stimulus auditory oddball) that strongly activates the executive functioning network. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Asymmetric Sensory Reweighting in Human Upright Stance Logan, David Kiemel, Tim Jeka, John J. http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15850 2014-10-15T16:04:52Z 2014-06-24T00:00:00Z Title: Asymmetric Sensory Reweighting in Human Upright Stance Authors: Logan, David; Kiemel, Tim; Jeka, John J. Abstract: To investigate sensory reweighting as a fundamental property of sensor fusion during standing, we probed postural control with simultaneous rotations of the visual scene and surface of support. Nineteen subjects were presented with pseudo-random pitch rotations of visual scene and platform at the ankle to test for amplitude dependencies in the following conditions: low amplitude vision: high amplitude platform, low amplitude vision: low amplitude platform, and high amplitude vision: low amplitude platform. Gain and phase of frequency response functions (FRFs) to each stimulus were computed for two body sway angles and a single weighted EMG signal recorded from seven muscles. When platform stimulus amplitude was increased while visual stimulus amplitude remained constant, gain to vision increased, providing strong evidence for inter-modal reweighting between vision and somatosensation during standing. Intra-modal reweighting of vision was also observed as gains to vision decreased as visual stimulus amplitude increased. Such intra-modal and inter-modal amplitude dependent changes in gain were also observed in muscular activity. Gains of leg segment angle and muscular activity relative to the platform, on the other hand, showed only intra-modal reweighting. That is, changing platform motion amplitude altered the responses to both visual and support surface motion whereas changing visual scene motion amplitude did not significantly affect responses to support surface motion, indicating that the sensory integration scheme between somatosensation (at the support surface) and vision is asymmetric.

This project investigates how cycling has shaped the city by analyzing the role that the governance and practice of cycling currently plays in the political, economic, social, spatial, and affective re-formation of the urban. Through the use of a combination of methods, working at various levels of analysis, the aim is to locate the impact of cycling policies and practices on the structural, discursive, and embodied dimensions of contemporary urban (re)structuring. It is an analysis of macro political processes, the formation of cycling communities, and the experiential dimension of riding in the city. Latham & McCormack (2010) state "cities are constantly generating new forms of collective life, novel ways of being together" (p.55). Thus, this project interrogates the various ways in which cycling impacts upon cities, and influences their (re)formation in potentially "historically unprecedented ways" (Wachsmuth et al, 2011, p. 741). Through studying cycling in Boston, Baltimore, and Washington DC this project provides a multi-sited analysis of how cycling is positioned within U.S. cities currently, as well as the complex and diverse processes that inform the contemporary organization of these urban spaces. U.S. cities currently exist within a broad "climate of cuts, austerity and state retrenchment" (Newman, 2013, p. 1) that has defined current patterns of urban governance. I have researched the ways in which cycling has underpinned and simultaneously challenged these broad shifts toward neoliberal governance. Cycling is both drawn into "marketing of urban "culture" and history by entrepreneurial governance" (Cherot and Murray, 2002, p. 432), but also underpins cities as entities that "defy efforts to be classified into types, reduced to essential characteristics, and fixed by boundaries (intellectual or otherwise)" (Prytherch, 2002, p. 772). As such this project investigates this simultaneously overlapping and contradictory impact of cycling on the city, mapping the multiple locations of cycling within the perpetual (re)formation of the urban. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

10 Unlikely Autos That Changed Cars Forever
At first glance nothing about these cars and trucks jumps off the page. Yet they were the proving ground for car tech and car-building techniques that influence how our autos are built.
By Phil Berg
1989 Nissan Maxima: Imports, All Grown Up
Back in the 1980s a Japanese excise tax limited cars marketed there to a maximum of 66.5 inches wide. That hurt Japanese automakers' attempts to sell luxury cars in America, where, for example, the Acura Legend wasn't taken too seriously because it was smaller than luxury cars from Europe and the U.S. That changed with the 69-inch-wide 1989 Nissan Maxima, which led to the breakout of Japanese cars to worldwide sizes.

Transit Oriented Development
by Don Thompson, Transportation Chair
One of the new buzzwords on the transportation scene are TODs or transit oriented developments. Fitting in with the natural instincts of the development community, they add in the transportation function that the environmental community wants to see. TODs are an attempt to add a transit function to the residential and/or office portion of a development, and in many cases also include some retail components to the mix.
Because of the transit portion it is usually appropriate to increase the density of the project, and in most cases there can be less need for parking lots or parking structures since the transit component can meet much of the transportation needs. When done correctly the mix of uses also reduces the need for transportation. If you can live, work and shop in close proximity, you have much less need for transportation.
Additional reductions in parking needs can come from the ability to have different peak needs for parking. Residential parking needs peak in the evening when office needs have dropped. Parking peaks for restaurants and movie theaters also are different.
The City Center project being built in Englewood is a metro area attempt to develop just such a mixed use project. Making use of the nearly completed southwest corridor light rail line, the project will have city offices for Englewood, retail, dining and residential units including living space over some of the retail units. In the far corner of the old Cinderella City retail site that is being redeveloped will be a WalMart, but that is another story.
Demand for residential development in the lower downtown and close to downtown areas of Denver have proved to be extremely popular. It will be interesting to see if there is similar demand for housing near Denver when it is tied to transit.

Adam Jones received a birthday cake designed to look like Popeyes fried chicken (happy 28th, AJ), and it's impossible to view without feeling both deep hunger and deep jealously. The cake is so realistic, in fact, that one might be disappointed to learn it's actually dessert and not a hearty chicken dinner.
If I may, I'd like to offer an idea for Jones' 29th birthday next year -- instead of fondant-and-marzipan fried chicken, go for the real thing. You've heard of chicken and waffles? Here's chicken and cake. What's not to like? You'd eat it. I'd eat it. We'd all be happy and die at age 40.
And, would you look at that? Popeyes responded:
@SimplyAJ10 That cake looks awesome. Hope you loved it as much as our chicken!- Popeyes Chicken (@PopeyesChicken) August 1, 2013

Chennai - India's new cricket coach Duncan Fletcher says he is getting advice from his predecessor Gary Kirsten as he braces for the challenge of coaching the Cricket World Cup-winning team.Fletcher met Board of Control for Cricket in India officials and selectors on Friday and said he had already spoken to Kirsten about his new job."This is new challenge for me. I had a bit of advice from coach Gary Kirsten and bowling coach Eric Simons. I had another chat with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. It is a very exciting job, coaching the world champion team. It's a high profile job," Fletcher said.Fletcher was appointed coach when Kirsten stood aside after guiding India to its World Cup triumph last month and also the current top test ranking."There will not be any major changes in my plans prepared for the team," said the 62-year-old Fletcher, who was the coach of the England team that in 2005 took the Ashes back from Australia after a gap of 18 years."I had watched the Indian team's performance in South Africa and the World Cup. But I will make my observations after being physically with the Indian team and then perhaps I can make some changes, if necessary. I am in a place where one cannot have a dictatorial role," Fletcher said."In subcontinent conditions, I have had fairly good results in the past with back-to-back series wins in Pakistan and Sri Lanka,' he added.Fletcher, an all-rounder who captained Zimbabwe at the 1983 World Cup but never played in Tests, had been shortlisted by the BCCI along with another former Zimbabwe player, Andy Flower, the England coach.He will be the fourth foreign coach of India after New Zealander John Wright, Australian Greg Chappell and Kirsten.

Morning Media Newsfeed: NewsHour Names Just EP | Discovery, Sony Make Gains
Click here to receive Mediabistro's Morning Media Newsfeed via email.
PBS NewsHour Names ABC's Sara Just Executive Producer (FishbowlDC)
PBS NewsHour announced Thursday that 25-plus year ABC News-er Sara Just has been tapped to serve as the program's executive producer and SVP of NewsHour Productions LLC. Variety Just will oversee the daily operations of the nightly news program, co-anchored by Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff. Deadline Hollywood Just, who has been ABC News' deputy Washington Bureau chief since April, will join NewsHour on Sept. 2, succeeding Linda Winslow, who is retiring. Just's hire comes on the heels of WETA taking over NewsHour from MacNeil/Lehrer Productions, the company named after former anchors Robert MacNeil and Jim Lehrer, on July 1. Politico / Dylan Byers on Media Before becoming deputy Washington bureau chief at ABC, Just was senior Washington producer for Good Morning America and had spent 17 years at Ted Koppel's Nightline. ABC News president James Goldston said in a memo to staff Just was integral to the innovation of their digital political coverage. NYT NewsHour has struggled in recent years to raise enough funds to meet its annual budget of $25 million to $30 million, although WETA officials said at the time of the ownership transfer they were confident they could find the money. With money tight, the program has not been able to do as much field reporting as some critics would like. Just said that she would better understand the program's budget challenges once she started, but added "I think reporting from the field is essential," when paired with insightful analysis.

Too busy playing Smash at the moment, so the delay is a good thing.
Whether the winner pays for the item is another question. Ebay doesn't really have a system that makes sure you actually have the money.
I was actually thinking about buying this. Had to use a free Amazon trial to get free postage for a month, but I did get it for £5!
I'm thinking it might be the Wii U console itself and that the laser isn't reading the disc right.
I was under the impression the "Mario Kart 8 - F-ZERO Curse" was basically "Mute City - Twist Road" from F-ZERO GX (GameCube).
If I am right, then he has just remade a GX Course, which is what MK8 has done.
I was watching the "Video Games: The Movie" document and on the topic about 'video games cause violence', they basically said violence is human nature. Look at Hitler as one example, he killed all those Jews and he didn't play "Call of Duty" (video game didn't even exist then).
Point is, other stuff influence violence, but it is about controlling your actions. Playing a violence game won't suddenly make me go and grab a gun an repeat the same action as I did in the game.
So do we just post our reviews here, or Tweet them?
Finally, "Code of Princess" and "Yumi's Odd Odyessey" discounts! YAY!
While Nintendo where a bit 'evil' back in the day, like the fact if you made a game for Nintendo's system, it could not be ported to another system. Thanks to a court-ruling, that rule does not exist.
Plus at the time of release, the ESRB did not exist, and Night Trap (yes, a violent game, more like a terrible horrible movie <_<) and Mortal Kombat where the reasons the ESRB system came about.
Nowadays, there are T & M rated games on Nintendo consoles, so I don't think Nintendo would have any problem with this being released on the Wii U.
It's very hard to take this website serious when there is a picture of hedgehog taking a shat! <_<
Can he be playable instead of Mega Man?
@dizzy_boy: You might be disappointed. The Games section at "London Film and Comic" this weekend is being organised by the people who have done the "Blackpool" and Manchester" RePlay events. It will most likely be Melee or Brawl that will be playable.
I hate to admit it, but the PS3 and Xbox 360 are way more popular, and most people would go and download that version. Plus you get to option of playing in HDMI (720p) instead of Component (480p). Leaving the WiiWare version to be the least popular version. So it's not surprising it isn't doing well.
I did buy the 3DS version however, so no point in downloading the WiiWare version.
Like the good old days! No DLC!
I'll just stick with Spider-Man 2 on the GameCube.
@ rjejr: The 3DS has a lot of great games now. Although I'm getting a Wii U when Mario Kart 8 is released.
I've been meaning to play the Super Famicom version. It looked like a fun little gem.
If it wasn't for Advance Wars, Fire Emblem may not have recived any English translations. Just look at this quote from edge-online with an interview with AW's director, Kentaro Nishimura:
For all these efforts to make Advance Wars' appeal as broad as possible, there were still no plans to release the game outside Japan, just as the previous games in the series had never seen an overseas release.
"When I joined Nintendo," says Nishimura, "I was told that these kinds of games would never be successful abroad, because they were turn-based games, and turn-based games weren't appreciated outside Japan. But we decided it was because these kind of games were too complicated. People are used to action games and shooting games, and in those all you have to do is press the A button and the B button and you'll soon understand how to play.
But for SRPGs, you've got to know the rules before you start. So, with Advance Wars, even though there wasn't a plan to release it outside Japan, we made it really easy to play. We put a really good tutorial in, so people didn't need to read the manual. And when the US marketing people played it they came to us and said: 'But this is great! Why can't we sell it over here?'
And it seems that Advance Wars' success has shifted Nintendo's attitude over western tastes." Nishimura, who also worked as director on Fire Emblem, makes it clear that game would never have been released in the west had AW not paved the way."
No mention of 64 Wars [Advance Wars]: http://www.unseen64.net/tag/64-wars/
There is even a trailer which even had a release date: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX76GLS8uPU
Because of the Wii HomeBrew Channel, I was able to recover my GameCube save files from my corrupted GameCube memory Card. Nintendo would have done bugger all!
The only thing I would like to see is the region lock stuff removed.
Actually, with the HomeBrew Channel installed on the Wii U V mode, you can play original US / JP game on it. Another point to them!
Well the fact Dave Perry and Doug TenNapel later on made Earthworm Jim for the Mega Drive (again, the original on the Mega Drive was superior), it's no wonder the Mega Drive version was superior!
Well they have gone fast. I like how the t-shirt size information did not help. Is that in cm or inches? Chest or waist?
Hopefully a small will fit me (my t-shirts are both small / medium). That's all that was available.
YAY! Physical bursting copy!
"Dress to Play: Magic Bubbles!" for 89p? I think I some credit to use up on my 3DS.
@ Mizore: There was. It was called Mario Advance Tour for the Gameboy Advance. However, unlike the Gameboy Color version, they didn't bother adding a transfer feature to use the character in the GameCube version. <_<
If Nintendo bothered to put in the link features or actually allow transfer with the Nintendo 64 Virtual console version, then I would have download this. I'll just stick with my original copy.
I like the fact they modified the options so you can adjust the number lives / select a round. While this can be done in the original, you had to hold a button combination on the second controller to activate these options.
I loved this game when i was younger and what have loved to play it on the go. Now as an adult, I can! YAY!
@brianvgplayer: The Puyo series was owned by "Complie", but have gone out of business. "SEGA" then brought the license and are now the current owners.
This means it would be a lot easier to release / get the license to upload the games that are on a SEGA console, rather than say a Nintendo one. Shame as "Puyo Puyo Sun" on the Gameboy was really good.
"Code of Princess" 3DS discount would have been nice.
Alre can pop my bubb... I mean, nice picture! Where did you find it?
I'm a massive Puyo Puyo fan, so please come to the west. What's interesting is the 4 player mode was only available in the SNES version (which I'll admit, was better, due to the fact it had cut scenes like in the first game).
Or give us Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine with the Puyo Tsu settings. Now that would be awesome (and more likely happen).
EDIT: Or, it's the Game Gear version. Still cool.
@ ledreppe: Pretty close. If only Capcom had use numbers like their Japanese titles. In order of when they released in the USA (Japanese title in []):
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney [Turnabout Courtroom 1] DS
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All [Turnabout Courtroom 2] DS
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations [Turnabout Courtroom 3] DS
- Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney [Turnabout Courtroom 4] DS
- Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth - Investigations [Turnabout Detective]
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Duel Destinies [Turnabout Courtroom 5] 3DS
There is a "Turnabout Detective 2", but it has not been translated into English. Although a fan translation is in the progress (case 1 & 2 translated).
@ Kolzig: The costume DLC is free for those who downloaded it before a certain date (I think it was end of October). Otherwise you have to pay.
Shame this is the only DLC case that will happen. I bet the DLC will just be a few kilobytes to play the case that is already stored in the game's data (unless I'm mistaken). Thanks Capcom.
Took me a little while, but it should be "I'll have them", since I'll is short for I will. Instead, they put "I've have them", where I've is short for "I have", so he's saying "I have have them". XD
The second one is just worded wrong. Should be "I must serve and protect as well!" Or maybe: "I must serve and also protect!".
As for the third, I don't see any. There was one part at the begining of case 2 where Trucy missed out a word and one sentence had two spaces between a word.
Now since the English version was a download only version, there is no excuse to fix these errors. To the bat mobile!
I donated $160 (£100). Well deserved! I may give a bit more at the end of the month by pay pal.
My only concern is, the Wii U version will just be a "port" of the PC and not take any advantage of the Wii U features. I did send WayForward a question which they replied:
"It's too early to tell but it will most likely use the touchscreen and support off-tv play. Beyond that we are not certain yet."
I would like to see what they did with Pikmin 3 and give us a choice what controls to use. Like use the map on the GamePad but use Wii Remotre (with Classic / Pro Controller attached) to control Shantea / select items.
@Sionyn: What are you on about? Anyone who pays $15 or more is basically pre-ordering the game while some of the money is going towards development. Once it gets released, you get a code to download the game (1 download) + other goodies.
People who don't support, basically have to pay for the game and that's it. Why should they get it for free? I don't get what you're on about.
If WayForward do make a profit, well good on them. They don't have to give the backers any money. That's like donating money to charity and expecting something in return. Doesn't work like that. <_<
I brought this game at the beginning of the year for £4 (cartridge only). Been meaning to play it, but the mega Drive keeps distracting me.
Maybe I should go and play it?
@ JQuest: I think his first appeance was the MSX and was a much better game than the NES version.
Although Solid Snake used in Brawl is based on the Metal Gear Solid series, which started on the PS1.
I'm just glad the European release data is going to be released around the same time as the American release.
At the end of the day, it's getting an English translation. Can't complain too much!
The funny thing is, the PAL version can run in PAL60 (original frame rate) and PAL50 (optimized frame rate). If you try to run the game in 60Hz, you will just a message saying this game is only for PAL systems (something along those lines).
However, you can simply remove the frequency check from the rom and TA DA, the game runs just fine in 60Hz! There is no excuse Nintendo.
Like the creator says, we are getting more levels and bosses because of the delay. That's awesome news and I can't understand why people are getting upset about the delay.
As long as the Wii U version suddenly doesn't become the worse version to own, you wouldn't hear me complain.
@lividd3ad: How was Cars 2 awful? It had Michael Kane in (aka Batman's servant ) and explosions, and weapons (it had a James Bond like theme). What more do you want? Don't get me wrong, there are better Pixar films like Monsters Inc, but Cars 2 wasn't terrible.
Now Planes, well it sounds like it's going to be PLAIN boring! XD Seriously know, it could be good. Who knows?
Minus the cool Soinc reference, I've heard nothing but bad things about this game.
No big lose really.
Now that would be a nice prize to win! Quite nice being a UK resident!
Depending on the price, I might pick one of those GBA Micro plates.
The wait will have been worth it! Looking forward to it.
I actually brought Crystal Warriors at the Replay Event in Manchester last year. It's a fun Turn base strategy game, a bit like Fire Emblem. Don't know if I would buy it again know.
I wasn't a big fan of Tails Adventure, but I will still buy it. Plays a bit like Castlevania and Metorid combined. At least you don't have to write down the passwords now.
Took their time. Can't wait to download this!
^ Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed doesn't suck. Ralph makes a nice decent playable character.
Actually, I think this is one rare occasion where I actually stayed and watched the credits at the end. They were that good, pixels and all!

Results from the Richmond Fed's latest survey of Fifth District agricultural banks indicate that credit lending conditions deteriorated during the third quarter of 2009. Bankers reported that farm loan demand weakened and noted that the rate of loan repayments continued to decrease, although at a slightly slower pace than reported in our last survey. In contrast, lenders reported that requests for loan renewals or extensions increased at a somewhat quicker rate. Moreover, agricultural lenders reported that farm loan availability steadied, and collateral requirements tightened from second-quarter levels. Reports also indicated that interest rates declined for feeder cattle and operating loans, but increased for intermediate-term and long-term real estate loans since the second quarter of 2009. Turning to farmland values, third-quarter land prices were below the level recorded in the previous quarter but above year-ago levels.
The demand for farm loans weakened further in the third quarter. Lenders attributed the softness in loan demand to substantially lower commodity prices coupled with higher input costs, which they believed would dramatically reduce net farm income in 2009. Moreover, lenders continued to express concern about depressed product demand. In addition, bankers noted that cattle and dairy farms continued to struggle.
A contact in North Carolina told us that considerably lower commodity prices combined with higher input costs would negatively impact net farm income in 2009. Similarly, a South Carolina banker told us that lower cotton prices had reduced the number of acres of cotton planted. Additionally, a contact in North Carolina reported that the continued reduction in meat demand caused swine producers to restructure debt in an effort to endure the financial pressure of the recession. Moreover, analysts in Virginia and West Virginia indicated that cattle and dairy farms remained under a great deal of stress. Although they noted that culling herds could steer prices in the right direction, the benefits from liquidation might be too late for some farmers.
Looking forward, respondents expected farm loan volumes overall to contract at a slower pace in the fourth quarter of 2009. Contacts indicated diminished weakness in the demand for farm machinery loans. The reading for farm machinery loans moved up 24 points to −37. In addition, the expected demand for operating loans picked up 27 points to −6. In other categories, the expected demand for dairy loans advanced 11 points to −36, and the reading for crop storage loans increased 10 points to end at −19. In contrast, the expectations for feeder cattle loans edged down three points to −50.
Interest rates for agricultural loans were mixed during the third quarter. Compared to second quarter levels, rates for long-term real estate loans moved up 22 basis points and rates for intermediate-term loans moved up 11 basis points. In other categories, interest rates for feeder cattle loans dropped 19 basis points and operating loans decreased 13 basis points.
In the third quarter, 75 percent of lenders reported that they had actively sought new farm loans, which was virtually unchanged from last quarter's reading of 76 percent. Moreover, the funds availability index stabilized at 0.
During the third quarter, the quality of agricultural credit was mixed. The index for loan repayment rates contracted at a slower pace, gaining 10 points to −12, while loan renewals retreated three points to end at 31. In addition, the index of collateral requirements tightened 21 points to finish at 56.
The market value of good farmland averaged $3,341 per acre in the third quarter, 5.8 percent below the second quarter reading but 1.1 percent above the mark from a year earlier. Looking forward, however, bankers anticipated that farmland prices would decline at a slower pace during the fourth quarter of 2009; the index of expected land values moved up eight points to -25.

Thats what happens when retarded amuricans start to invent stupid terms etc.Everywhere in the world a person in military service does not matter his branch can be called soldier but meanwhile in glorious murica only the army branch is "soldiers"

You know, I always call you guys Army bitches but really, we're all service members and it's not that big of deal. We've all given everything to serve our country and were all willing to give the ultimate sacrifice.
So thank you, Soldier.
So thank you, Soldier.
#9 to #3 - jeengak (07/21/2013) [-]
i dont get why calling them soldiers would piss them off? my understanding of the word "soldier" applies to anyone who is in the army and the word "marines" is a division within the army. I would love to be cleared up of any misunderstanding Thx

The army and marines go through separate training. The reason it will piss off marines when called soldiers is because there has always been kind of a rivalry between the army and the marine corps. Marines will call army pussies and the army will call the marines a bunch of dumb grunts. It's fun and friendly.
#16 to #14 - jellykuba (07/21/2013) [-]
To my experience the marines and soldiers I talked to didn't much care what they were called, the ones that did were generally known as the dick heads by their respective branches. The one thing I did learn is never call a marine a boot unless you want to get your ass kicked.
#18 to #16 - thegraypist (07/21/2013) [-]
Ha yeah that's one thing that will piss them off. I'm still in my school in the Marine Corps and I get called a boot once in a while by higher ranks. It doesn't really bother me. Not that I could do anything about it as a PFC anyway.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Sitholimela, Livhuwani URN etd-12192007-140427 Document Title The effect of land tenure system on goat production in KwaNdebele Degree M Inst Agrar ( Animal Production) Department Animal and Wildlife Sciences Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr E C Webb Committee Chair Keywords
- goat production KwaNdebele
- land tenure KwaNdebele goat production
Date 2007-09-01 Availability unrestricted AbstractIndigenous goats are one of the most important sources of animal protein to many rural poor, but this is being threatened by the way they are managed and the way people utilize the land. Goats supply the rural people with meat, milk, manure (which can be used as fertilizers) and hides which can also be used for different purposes. Milk and meat have always been an important component in the normal balanced diet, providing energy, protein, calcium and other minerals and vitamins.
As the population in South Africa continue to grow, meat and milk will become more important as a source of high quality protein to reduce malnutrition especially in children. As such milk and meat production is a vital form of primary health care in both rural and peri-urban areas. Donkin (1998) indicated that, in commercial enterprises, milk is usually from cows. However, the disadvantages with cows as a source of milk for the household and small holder farmer are that dairy cows are expensive, require large amounts of food, produce large amounts of milk (more than household needs), have a relatively long generation interval and when slaughtered have large carcases (posing problems of storage and distribution). In contrast, dairy and meat goats are less expensive, are easily handled by women and children, eat less, produce appropriate quantities of meat and milk for household consumption, reducing storage problems, have a short generation interval and produce more progeny. In spite of all these advantages, Bembridge and Tapson (1993) indicated that productivity from goats in the communal farming system, which is based on the extensive system is poor due to a low weaning rate, a high mortality rate and low turnover.
Goats are often blamed for veld deterioration and damage to soil subsequent to poor animal and grazing management. Goats are hardy animals, that can survive where other animals cannot (Webb et al., 1998). One of the major problems at present however, is the availability of adequate grazing and the current land tenure systems. Goat farmers share common grazing land, which makes it very difficult to manage since the chief of the area holds the land in trust. This is one of the reasons why rural land is poorly managed. Our concern as researchers is how we can help rural people to sustain the productivity of these animals.
This research is focused on the fact that" some 30% of the population of South Africa are classified as ultra-poor (i.e. those who do not obtain sufficient food) and of these, 80% are blacks living in rural areas, it is understandable that the efficiency of animal production in rural communal farming systems has been perceived by some as the most important issue for animal production research".
The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of land tenure system on goat production in two rural villages, Moutse and Phooko. The analysis is based on 1998 / 1999 survey data. Surveys of landless and smallholder farmers were conducted in the KwaNdebele district of Mpumalanga in 1998 and 1999. In total 26 farmers were interviewed. The interview was through a questionnaire which was distributed to participating farmers with the help of an extension officer from the villages.
The effect of land tenure on goat production was analysed by determining the productive efficiency of livestock in the villages, and the contribution of livestock to the livelihood of the local people. Finally farmers were classified according to categorical characteristics such as type of animal farmed with, those practicing minor management versus those who do not, and the type of farming system practiced e.g. animal or mixed farming.
The results show that all the categories mentioned i.e. type of management, type of farming and land tenure system influence animal performance to some extent. It is concluded from the results that to successful farmers, land tenure seems to be a major limiting factor. The characterization of farmers that are economically successful in terms of goat I animal husbandry shows that they have little or no land and no regular substantial off farm income. Therefore, they rely mainly on goat I animal husbandry to provide a constant income, which emphasize the importance of livestock in rural farming systems.
Although goats are less popular compared to cattle (often used for lobola), they form an important part of most rural farming systems, particularly in providing meat and milk for rural people. The results of the survey show that from the 26 farmers interviewed, 13 are farming with goats and cattle, and the remaining 13 with a combination of goats, cattle, sheep and sometimes pigs.
KwaNdebele, like other former homelands has an agricultural potential which is largely underestimated because of lack of skills and training, absence of ownership, overstocking and lack of veld management. From the result, it is concluded that it is difficult to enforce proper management and conservation measures under communal land. Although the results suggests only a slight effect on land tenure on animal performance, land tenure does have an effect on the implementation of conservation measures. In economic terms, the cultivator I farmer is said to lack incentives to carefully husband the holding he does not have property rights that internalise the costs and benefits of conserving or failing to conserve the land (Basset and Crummey, 1993).

why is my computer so slow
So you've had your computer a year or so now and you've noticed it's not that lightning fast computer you first turned on…why?
There are several things in play here, since you noticed that the speed isn't what it used to be. Perception, hardware, software to name the obvious. When you first bought your computer, it was so much faster than your old one. Hence the term "old", maybe not a dinosaur, but by current hardware standards it is definitely "old".
The hardware itself, is the latest…greatest…fastest and that may seem light years faster than your last computer. Processors are much more powerful, no longer a singe core, but up to six and even eight core processors. And the code is no longer transferred in little 32bit chunks it's now moved around in 64bit chunks. Hence – faster.
Your old computer more than likely, had additional programs you found and downloaded off the Internet or bought somewhere. And then down the road, you either removed them or attempted to remove them leaving behind remnants of information that can also cause your computer to choke. Some of those really cool programs were nothing more than computer resource hogs creating another drag on computer speed. (ie. weatherbug) Then there are all the constant updates by Microsoft for your operating system, updates from quickbooks, antivirus and any other program you may have, being added onto your computer, many of them extremely large and requiring more power. Those updates haven't started on your new computer…yet.
And then there is the change in what you are currently using your computer for and what you said you were going to use it for in the first place. With the introduction of facebook, and youtube and streaming music you've now discovered a new world, which also now demands more power, more speed, and more storage space. None of which your old computer has.
This is a cycle you may as well get use to. Technology is growing faster than even a lot of software developers can keep up with, so don't feel left behind. Just know that whatever you decide to buy tomorrow….will be almost worthless in about 4-5 years.
By the way…if you're looking for a new computer, you might want to consider a custom built one instead of the "cookie cutter, kleenex" computers out there. Yes, you can get one of those cheaper, but that's because they are more compact, which leads to more over heating and your ability to expand your system in an effort to thwart off the next major computer investment will be next to impossible.

Spring 2014: Unanimous First Team All-Big Ten. Qualified for NCAA Singles Championships and NCAA Doubles Championships. Big Ten Player of the Week on February 4, March 26 and April 1. First Nittany Lion to win Big Ten POW three times in a single season... Went 18-7 this spring at the top singles spot, including eight wins against ranked opponents and a 6-4 mark in Big Ten play. Stakhovsky was ranked in the ITA Poll 13 straight weeks to finish the year. He reached as high as #33... Stakhovsky combined with Russell Bader to go 18-6 in doubles with five wins against ranked opponents and an 8-2 record against the Big Ten. They were ranked for nine straight weeks to finish the year. They reached as high as 26th in the ITA Poll... After going 1-2 in their first three matches, Bader and Stakhovsky won seven straight matches including an 8-6 victory against No. 1 Ohio State's 3rd-ranked Peter Kobelt and Kevin Metka. They also earned a win against No. 33 VCU... The duo won eight matches against Big Ten opponents, including ranked wins against the Buckeyes, No. 44 Michigan's Alex Buzzi and Barrett Franks(22) and No. 69 Indiana's Daniel Bednarczyk and Sam Monette(65)... They defeated the Wolverines' Buzzi and Franks again in the Big Ten Tournament... In the NCAA Second Round match, they knocked off Virginia's Luca Corinteli and Mac Styslinger, ranked 53rd, 8-5... They clinched the doubles point four times for Penn State... In the First Round of the NCAA Doubles Championships, Bader and Stakhovsky defeated Memphis' #13 David O'Hare and Joe Salisbury, 6-3, 6-4. In the second round, they fell 6-1, 7-6(3) against Ohio State's #4 Kobelt and Metka... Stakhovsky won his first nine singles matches of the spring, including ranked wins against No. 33 Virginia Tech's Amerigo Contini, ranked 26th, and No. 33 VCU's Alexis Heugas, ranked 73rd... Stakhovsky went 1-2 in his next three matches, including a win against No. 50 Princeton's #108 Zack McCourt... Stakhovsky then won five straight matches, including ranked wins against No. 44 Michigan's Alex Petrone, ranked 112th, No. 10 Illinois' Jared Hiltzik, ranked 9th, and No. 28 Northwestern's Raleigh Smith, ranked 37th... Later in Big Ten play, he earned a win against No. 36 Purdue's Syzmon Tatarczyk and No. 63 Nebraska's Dusty Boyer, ranked 111th... In the NCAA Tournament First Round, Stakhovsky rallied from down 5-4 in the third set to knock off No. 50 UNC Wilmington's Rafael Aita, ranked 50th, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5, to clinch the match and send the Nittany Lions to the second round... In his NCAA Singles Championship First Round match, Stakhovsky dropped a 6-2, 6-2 result to Vanderbilt's Gonzales Austin, ranked 21st in the nation.

Meet Mr.Wrong EX-girlfriend!
I don't normally post things like this on my site. But I did make this blog to write about my personal life to. This is a very personal post about Mr. Wrongs Ex-girlfriend that just WON'T go away!
I've had many problems with her in the past, last time was 2008. And Mr. Wrong and I made it very clean we didn't want anything to do with her! However, I am not going to get into that now.
Last Sunday Mr. Wrong received a private message on Facebook. Read his response!

My husband ROCK! I LOVE HIM!
My husband has no friends in common with this girl. So I am not sure how his profile just randomly popped up on her side bar. But come on "no disrespect"! You're an EX- Girlfriend that has called and bother us so many times over the years!
Mr. Wrong told her in 2008 he doesn't want ANYTHING to do with her. Oh yeah and before that to! Why? Oh, why would you try to contact him again! This girl has some serious issues going on in her head!
So I went on her Facebook and it's was just so sad the kind of pictures this girl had up and made public for the world to see. SMH
I hope after this she learns to leave us the hell alone!
