UGG Australia Debuts Their New Spring Campaign Featuring Out Of Home, Online Video, Social, Mobile, Events, PR, And Original Content (Photo: Business Wire)
Building on the successful Fall 2011 launch of UGG for Men and the company's first advertising campaign featuring quarterback Tom Brady, UGG® Australia, a division of Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NASDAQGS: DECK), sustains its momentum into Spring 2012 with an integrated creative campaign that introduces new products, underscoring the collection's offerings for men. Debuting on March 6, 2012, the new campaign is an homage to the eclectic short film, entitled "The Chase," and will include Online Videos, Print, OOH, Digital Display, Social, Mobile, Events, PR and Original Content.
UGG Australia debuts their new spring campaign featuring Out of Home, Online Video, Social, Mobile, Events, PR, and Original Content (Photo: Business Wire)
UGG for Men personifies authenticity, confidence and effortless style. The breadth and depth of the Men's Spring 2012 line extends beyond what most consumers believe about the UGG brand, consisting of sneakers, boots, casual shoes, flip flops, accessories, outerwear and more. Because UGG has generally been viewed as a cold-weather footwear brand, this campaign was designed to showcase the brand's robust collection of year-round products, emphasizing UGG's sense of style for all seasons.
"We are thrilled about the growth of our Men's business and believe the integrated UGG for Men Spring campaign will successfully build on that the momentum we started this past Fall," said Connie Rishwain, President, UGG Australia.
"The Chase" is divided into two: 30 shorts that translate UGG for Men's authentic and effortless style into a timeless Spring narrative: The Road Trip. The story is told as a cinematic journey by M&C Saatchi Los Angeles and through the vision of director Gary Shore of Anonymous Content: two friends – a man and a woman – drive off in a Classic Pontiac GTO, running into obstacles and experiencing the adventure of the open road from Chicago to Los Angeles. Their aim is to complete an impossible mission: to chase the sun. With backdrops that range from the snowy weather of Chicago to the iconic coastline of Los Angeles, the protagonists capture both the essence and thrill of "The Chase." Traveling fast enough in the direction of the sun, they will keep it in the sky long enough and catch it setting over the Pacific.

Best Rock Songs
Don't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.The Top Ten
1Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
I like this list. Many people do not agree with a few songs near the top. To me that means that this list displays the varying opinions of what "good rock" is. Personally, I don't think Numb should be no. 2 (I like other Linkin Park songs better) but I think that it proves that there is much variety in this genre. I agree with the popular opinion that Stairway to Heaven is the best rock song ever. It is an interesting song. It is lengthy, and of very good quality.
Best in history, most famous and well known by everyone.
This song made all-in-all music history.
This song made all-in-all music history.
Greatest ever, bar none.
[Newest]Numb is not number 1!
2Numb - Linkin Park
Wow, I just voted for this song and it suddenly went to the top place. Aside from that, this song is amazing. Linkin Park never really came to do this sort of music again after 'Meteora'. Because of this I seriously considered voting for Evanescence' 'Bring Me To Life', but then I remembered that the same thing happened to them. Ben Moody left and the music changed. I think the music industry has died; that might seem harsh, but I haven't found music from after 2007 that I really enjoyed.
One of the best ones I've ever witnessed, god blessed us with an awesome band like LP, thank you LP for this masterpiece!
Are you kidding me? This is the best rock song ever. It should be crowned the top place in the list. Just listen this song. I am sure that will must like it. It is also the best song of Linkin Park. Now let it go to upper.
[Newest]I would think everyone would go for the classics but I love this song to
3Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Bohemian Rhapsody just like a classic is divided into sections (3 to be specific). The song builds and builds, then, bursts into the opera section before busting the damn wide open to the glorious full on rock climax before ultimately resolving itself as it began with piano and vocal. Freddy Mercury's (Oh I so wish he was alive, poor man) vivid, and lively vocals and Brian May's signature guitar work ties everything together perfectly.. All in all, a its total work of art. I won't go on to say this song deserves to be on the top, because its for you to listen to it and decide, I am just voting for this one because this is so soothing, exciting, and brilliant: everything you need in a song. Queen was and will be one of the best rock bands. I would also suggest listening to show must go on, Love of My Life, Too Much Love Will Kill You, and Another One Bites The Dust.
Come on! Numb over Bohemian RHAPSODY! What is wrong with this list? Stairway yes, I love Zeppelin, but Linkin Park? Really? Queen is rockier than Linkin Park or Evanense (don't care if I misspelled! )
Also, Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who should be here!
Also, Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who should be here!
this is just brilliant... bohemian raphsody all the way!
[Newest]One of my favorite Queen songs, still listen to it this day.
4Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
This list disappoints me... old tosh like Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones shouldn't BE on this list and yet they clock up the top 5... This song deserves to be on TOP. Period.
One thing that points out the most from this song is its energy. The riff makes you want to jump crazy when you play it!
Smells like teen spirit is #1
This has to be on the top!
This has to be on the top!
5The Diary Of Jane - Breaking Benjamin
This song is amazing! With its blood-chilling intro that picks up and gets extremely heavy and awesome. Not to mention the clever melodic uses in Ben's voice with the well thought out drum and guitar parts, this song mixes together all that is good in rock. In fact, Breaking Benjamin does that with pretty much all of their songs. Just because they're not from the 80s doesn't mean they aren't one of the best bands ever
You know what
I don't know this song but I've just hear it and loved it and I'm downloading it
Any song who leave an impression from the first time need to be the winner
And here is your winner
This song is cool guys seriously

Breaking Benjamin are truly underrated, this song is a BLAST!
6Bring Me To Life - Evanescence
Favorite rock song, well I don't know if monster by skillet is rock but whatever
Really? What I just lost faith to humanity
Needs to be at least #2
#1 Should be Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
#1 Should be Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
7Back In Black - AC/DC
AC/DC is such a inspirational band and has pumped out many great hits, including back in black and I think this song has the potential to be the #1rock song of all time!
This song is sick but I think the best rock song is bat out of hell by meatloaf it has to be the most epic song of all time in my opinion
8Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses
9Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses
From Slash's brilliant riffs to Axl's voice and lyrics... This song deserver to be top.
This song has been the worlds favorite for a time! Come on! Make it to number one!
Great song, great guitar intro
10Master of Puppets - Metallica
This isn't rock, I love this song but its heavy metal!
master of puppets is best song ever and metallica is best band ever
WOW. Nirvana's good but Metallica's better. They are just epic mon!

16How You Remind Me - Nickelback
This song is just AWESOME! How is this not in the top 5. Numb? Come on guys? If someone had some real sense of music, they would put this song on the TOP!

Simply PHENOMENAL!
I don't like Metallica but me and everyone I ever knew on the net or in real life just worship this song, and everyone covers it to take pride at guitar playing.
And after you see the number of reviews and downloads on this song your jaw will drop, Truly Deserved to be #1

This Believer of Convenience warily tiptoed into Sam Harris' new book titled Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion. I'm a 1/3 of the way in. He's managed to settle under my skin, burrowing into my consciousness. I'm deeply ambivalent about the message. The polarity of my emotions is stark – it's as if I'm split in two. I drift in and out of darkness and I find myself empty in my quiet moments of contemplation. I'm certain that this wasn't Sam's objective with his Guide. Yet I find it impossible to disagree with certain messages, such as yesterday's post titled Carpe Momento. And another this morning which I'm sharing below. I'm leaning heavily on F. Scott Fitzgerald to function: "The test of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function" – – as I need to function, I need to function. Here's Sam Harris with another one of his "pow, right in the kisser" messages to me:

Lurching. Lurching. Lurching.
To Live & Learn
I want to taste and glory in each day,
and never be afraid to experience pain;
and never shut myself up
in a numb core of non-feeling,
or stop questioning and criticizing life
and take the easy way out.
To learn and think:
to think and live;
to live and learn:
this always, with new insight,
new understanding,
and new love.
– Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Bang our very bones to roust our own souls
Unless we learn to let experience play upon our inner lives as on a finely tuned instrument, we will try to manufacture inner intensity from the outside, we will bang our very bones to roust our own souls. We crave radical ruptures when we have allowed the nerves of our inner lives to go numb. But after those ruptures— the excitement or the tragedy, the pleasure or the pain— the mind returns to what it was, the soul quicksilvers off from the pierce of experience, and the kingdom of boredom…begins the clock-tick toward its next collapse.

We must look wider than what hurts
"We begin so aware and grateful. The sun somehow hangs there in the sky. The little bird sings. The miracle of life just happens. Then we stub our toe, and in that moment of pain, the whole world is reduced to our poor little toe. Now, for a day or two, it is difficult to walk. With every step, we are reminded of our poor little toe.
Our vigilance becomes: Which defines our day – the pinch we feel in walking on a bruised toe, or the miracle still happening?
It is the giving over to smallness that opens us to misery. In truth, we begin taking nothing for granted, grateful that we have enough to eat, that we are well enough to eat. But somehow, through the living of our days, our focus narrows like a camera that shutters down, cropping out the horizon, and one day we're miffed at a diner because the eggs are runny or the hash isn't seasoned just the way we like.
When we narrow our focus, the problem seems everything. We forget when we were lonely, dreaming of a partner. We forget first beholding the beauty of another. We forget the comfort of first being seen and held and heard. When our view shuts down, we're up in the night annoyed by the way our lover pulls the covers or leaves the dishes in the sink without soaking them first.
In actuality, misery is a moment of suffering allowed to become everything. So, when feeling miserable, we must look wider than what hurts. When feeling a splinter, we must, while trying to remove it, remember there is a body that is not splinter, and a spirit that is not splinter, and a world that is not splinter."

Norway owns Gold. How?
Excerpts from wsj.com: How Norway Scores So Much Olympic Gold?
…Norway itself is a Winter Olympics marvel: With only five million people, it has won 303 Winter Olympic medals, far more than any other country on the planet. To find a country smaller than world-leading Norway on the all-time Winter Olympics medal table, you have to travel down to Croatia, which ranks 24th with 11 medals. And this month, Norway is fielding one of its strongest teams in almost two generations, with some experts considering it the favorite to win both the highest gold and total medal count, a feat that it last achieved in 1968.
Other countries long ago took to shrugging off Norway's Winter Olympics medal haul as the unsurprising inheritance of a people whose young are born with skis on their feet, as an old Nordic adage goes. But skiing is also fundamental to the culture of other Scandinavian countries, including Sweden, which has about twice the population but, with 132 total, not even half the medals.
Instead, many experts think the answer lies in the culture and lifestyle of the country, where an extraordinary egalitarianism runs through youth sports. Before age 6, Norwegian kids can only train but not formally compete in sports, and before age 11, all children participating in a competition must be awarded the same prize.
Still, most experts say the biggest reason behind Norway's success is the culture that propelled it atop the medal table from the outset. Norway's cities are relatively close to the wilderness, and children are encouraged to play outdoors even on the coldest days.
In those disciplines, attaining world-class status typically takes years of training. This is one reason that the Meråker school accepts students whose passion for sport may outshine their performances. In the long run, desire and perseverance will play the greatest roles in shaping future Olympians. The school's coaches say the main lesson they teach is the importance of training relentlessly for years beyond high school.
In addition to physical work on the farm in the afternoons, weekends and holidays, he was regularly charged with what his father refers to as "incredibly boring stuff," like picking stones from a field, just to improve his psyche. Every time he hurt himself, his father would tease him until he stopped crying. Eventually, he came to believe pain is cool. "My father taught me at an early age to tackle pain—I think that's my strength. I can go for hours in pain without giving up," he said. His childhood mentor, a star skier turned coach named John Thomas Rena, agrees. "I think a big part of Jenssen's talent comes from the way he grew up," he said.

like this one, like that one, like this one
"I think
I grow tensions
like flowers
in a wood where
nobody goes.
Each wound is perfect,
encloses itself in a tiny
imperceptible blossom,
making pain.
Pain is a flower like that one,
like this one,
like that one,
like this one."
– Robert Creeley, "The Flower"
Robert Creeley (1926 – 2005) was a major American poet of the 20th century. He was born in Arlington, MA and was a teacher, a scholar, and a fierce presence: "I look to words, and nothing else, for my own redemption either as a man or poet." He lost the sight in one eye in a car accident when he was two years old. The loss of his eye and his father, both early in life, affected Creeley profoundly. For the first half of his life he travelled as an outsider, his heavy drinking often leading to brawls with friends and strangers. Creeley was sometimes an angry young man who wanted "the world to narrow to a match flare". Unable to sign up for World War II because of his sight problem, he joined the American Field Service and drove ambulances in India and Burma. He returned home with two medals…Just days before he died, he gave his final reading — in Charlottesville, Virginia — breathing from what he called "portable wee canisters of oxygen about the size of champagne bottles". In between the poems Creeley said very simple things that rang true: "There has been so much war and pain during the last century. We need to learn how to be kind; kindness is what makes us human."

Tough Teachers Get Results (finally, some common sense)
"I had a teacher who once called his students 'idiots' when they screwed up…he made us rehearse until our fingers almost bled. He corrected our wayward hands and arms by poking at us with a pencil. Today, he'd be fired. But when he died a few years ago, he was celebrated: Forty years' worth of former students flew back to my New Jersey hometown from every corner of the country…I was stunned by the outpouring for the gruff old teacher…Some were musicians, but most had distinguished themselves in other fields…What did Mr. K do right?…Comparing Mr. K's methods to the latest findings in fields from music to math to medicine leads to a single, startling conclusion:
It's time to revive old-fashioned education.
Not just traditional but old fashioned in the sense that so many of us knew as kids, with strict discipline and unyielding demands. Because here's the thing: It works…and the following eight principles – a manifesto if you will, a battle cry inspired by my old teacher and buttressed by new research – explain why:
Sit Still
"We yearn for silence, yet the less sound there is, the more our thoughts deafen us. How can we still the noise within?…In Vipassana you concentrate on sensation in stillness, sitting down, not necessarily cross-legged, though most people do sit that way. And sitting without changing position, sitting still. As soon as you try to do this, you become aware of a connection between silence and stillness, noise and motion. No sooner are you sitting still than the body is eager to move, or at least to fidget. It grows uncomfortable. In the same way, no sooner is there silence than the mind is eager to talk. In fact we quickly appreciate that sound is movement: words move, music moves, through time. We use sound and movement to avoid the irksomeness of stasis. This is particularly true if you are in physical pain. You shift from foot to foot, you move from room to room. Sitting still, denying yourself physical movement, the mind's instinctive reaction is to retreat into its normal buzzing monologue — hoping that focusing the mind elsewhere will relieve physical discomfort. This would normally be the case; normally, if ignored, the body would fidget and shift, to avoid accumulating tension. But on this occasion we are asking it to sit still while we think and, since it can't fidget, it grows more and more tense and uncomfortable. Eventually, this discomfort forces the mind back from its chatter to the body. But finding only discomfort or even pain in the body, it again seeks to escape into language and thought. Back and forth from troubled mind to tormented body, things get worse and worse. Silence, then, combined with stillness — the two are intimately related — invites us to observe the relationship between consciousness and the body, in movement and moving thought."

This essay by Tim Parks is worth reading in its entirety. You can find it at this link. Parks references his book Cleaver in the essay. The book was chosen as a Sunday Telegraph Book of the Year. It is one of the funniest novels that I have read. You can read my review of Cleaver at this link.

Don't edit your ugly out of your bio
"Don't google your name. Ever.
Don't "search" for yourself
on anything that glows in the dark.
Don't let your beauty
be something anyone can turn off.
Don't edit your ugly out of your bio.
Let your light come from the fire.
Let your pain be the spark,
but not the timber.
Remember, you didn't come here
to write your heart out.
You came to write it in."

Start your day with anxiety. First thing. Every morning for last month. Sharp pain for 75 seconds. Then poof. Gone. Until the next morning. I google it. Up pops Just Answer. Eye with a customer question describing the identical experience:
I wake up every morning with a sharp pain in what I believe is my optic nerve. The pain is so bad that it sometimes makes my eye water when I try to open it wide. It is also painful to press on my eye when closed. The pain is always in my left eye and there are some days that I wake up without pain. My eye does not seem to be more red or bloodshot than normal. The pain does subside as the day goes on and I haven't experienced any vision problems.
I quickly close my eye and pain subsides. Water fills the vacuum. (The human body is. All on its own. Repairing. Soothing. A miracle.)
I open and close several times. Blinking. (The body is a miracle. The mind, my mind, on the other hand, can be a torture chamber. I need to see. I need to read. Heart begins to race. Relax pal. Just Answer Doc said it's just dry eyes. Yes, that was the first line. And the rest? What about the rest? This will right itself by itself.)
What if?
Mind quickly shifts gears to Sunday's paper.
You are four years old. You run to answer the door bell. Life from that moment on changes. For you. For your family. Forever.
Josh Miel, you define courage. You define perseverance. You are an inspiration.
(On the other hand, you pal, have dry eyes.)
David Byrne: Hidden Roots
David Byrne, 60, is a Scottish musician permanently residing in the United States. He is best known as a founding member and principal songwriter of the American New Wave band Talking Heads, which was active between 1975 and 1991. He has received Grammy, Oscar and Golden Globe awards and been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Brainpickings.org describes Byrne "as also one of the sharpest thinkers of our time and a kind of visual philosopher. About a decade ago, Byrne began making 'mental maps of imaginary territory' in a little notebook based on self-directed instructions to draw anything from a Venn diagram about relationships to an evolutionary tree of pleasure yet wholly unlike anything else. In 2006, Byrne released Arboretum, a collection of these thoughtful, funny, cynical, poetic, and altogether brilliant pencil sketches — some very abstract, some very concrete — drawn in the style of evolutionary diagrams and mapping everything from the roots of philosophy to the tangles of romantic destiny to the ecosystem of the performing arts."
Bottom line: Brilliant.

Set fire to your old self
"You don't know anyone at the party, so you don't want to go. You don't like cottage cheese, so you haven't eaten it in years. This is your choice, of course, but don't kid yourself: it's also the flinch.
Your personality is not set in stone. You may think a morning coffee is the most enjoyable thing in the world, but it's really just a habit. Thirty days without it, and you would be fine. You think you have a soul mate, but in fact you could have had any number of spouses. You would have evolved differently, but been just as happy.
You can change what you want about yourself at any time. You see yourself as someone who can't write or play an instrument, who gives in to temptation or makes bad decisions, but that's really not you. It's not ingrained. It's not your personality. Your personality is something else, something deeper than just preferences, and these details on the surface, you can change anytime you like. [Read more…]

Sunday Morning: Everything is Incredible
Agustin is from Siguatepeque, Honduras. He was born "lame with his right leg shorter than his left." He was later struck with polio leaving him severely disabled from the legs down. He dreamed of being a pilot but because of his disability, he couldn't fly. He turned his energy to building his own helicopter largely from parts found at the trash dumps. He started building in 1958. He is still pursuing his dream today more than one-half a century later with his helicopter still under construction.
His Minister: "I don't know what he's paying for his helicopter in the ultimate sense. I think he's paid a lot for that helicopter. I think he's paid an awful lot. You might say what has he gotten out of it? I don't know. Maybe its kept him alive. Maybe its been able to conquer loneliness. Maybe its been able to conquer poverty."
Agustin later in the story explains: "The problem is that everything is incredible and people just don't accept it."
This video is beautiful. Sad. Touching. And inspiring.
And, yes, Agustin, we are blessed. And everything is incredible. And often times we take it for granted.
Good Sunday morning.

I actually attack the concept of happiness…
"I actually attack the concept of happiness. The idea that – I don't mind people being happy – but the idea that everything we do is part of the pursuit of happiness seems to me a really dangerous idea and has led to a contemporary disease in Western society, which is fear of sadness. It's a really odd thing that we're now seeing people saying "write down 3 things that made you happy today before you go to sleep", and "cheer up" and "happiness is our birthright" and so on. We're kind of teaching our kids that happiness is the default position – it's rubbish. Wholeness is what we ought to be striving for and part of that is sadness, disappointment, frustration, failure; all of those things which make us who we are. Happiness and victory and fulfillment are nice little things that also happen to us, but they don't teach us much. Everyone says we grow through pain and then as soon as they experience pain they say "Quick! Move on! Cheer up!" I'd like just for a year to have a moratorium on the word "happiness" and to replace it with the word "wholeness". Ask yourself "is this contributing to my wholeness?" and if you're having a bad day, it is."
This quote was inspired (and not in a positive way) by my recent readings of an shockingly large number of children and adults being medicated for a variety of reasons ranging from serious disorders like chronic depression to anxiety, ADD and academic performance. Sad and disturbing. (This coming from a man who can barely choke down a Bayer aspirin without feeling guilt wash over me.)

Nintendo's new Wii isn't perfect, but it's clever, cheap, fun — and downright aerobic

Special to the Seattle Times
I've only spent an hour getting to know the Wii, referred to from here on out as my New Best Friend, and already I'm tired. Not tired of my NBF, mind you, but physically tired. I've been pitching fast balls and lobbing serves across the tennis court. My right arm is limp, like an overcooked noodle.
What's going on here? Am I not a gamer? Shouldn't I instead, by rights, have a couple of grams' worth of Cheetos dust sprinkled down my front, the result of sitting for 10 hours at a stretch?
In a word, no. My NBF, the Wii, encourages me to move around. See the sights. Get a little air, if only in my living room.
Wii vs. Goliaths
Nintendo, which created the GameCube and GameBoy, began selling its newest system, the Wii, Sunday. Unlike its competitors, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, the Wii has a comparatively wee price: $250.
The trade-off — and there has to be one — is that the Wii has much less oomph than those giants. It's roughly twice as powerful as the previous GameCube, which is not impressive when compared to its more-tech-is-better Microsoft and Sony compatriots. In the included game, "Wii Sports," the main characters look more like Playskool Weebles than characters created for a 2006 gaming system.
But everyone loves an underdog, especially with behemoths Sony and Microsoft dueling it out to the death. And speaking of dueling, what does all this have to do with my sore right arm, anyway?
Wii knows your moves
The answer lies in the Wii's completely original and inventive controller, a two-part gizmo called the "Wii Remote" (which looks like, duh, a remote), and the "Nunchuk." These goofy names hide a cool purpose. Both of these wireless controllers register a player's motion (the Remote also includes a rumbler and a mini-speaker).
Lift the controller so that it's perpendicular to you as you're standing, and the baseball bat gets raised on the screen. Hold it wide and flat and scoop your arm along your side, and you're throwing a bowling ball down the alley. Connect the Nunchuk to the Remote, and you can administer a sharp left-hand jab to the jaw followed by a right-hand kidney punch.
The Wii, pronounced wee, isn't like those cheesy mid-'90s virtual-reality controllers. Instead, it's a complex device, taking sensitive readings that spin a bowling ball into the gutter if you cross your hand in front of your body (replicating the same problem I have in real life). It reads yaw (how you pivot from left to right), pitch (whether an end of the controller is up or down) and roll (how you bank it side to side).
The potential combinations aren't endless, and the inevitable slew of games with swords, golf clubs, fishing poles and similar concepts may get old pretty quickly. But for anyone who's ever wanted to be a Jedi, the idea of having your own motion-sensitive lightsaber is enough to cause drooling.
Did I mention that the Wii is backward-compatible? (Unlike the Xbox 360 and now, reportedly, the PS3.) All those GameCube disks you already have won't need to gather dust. The Wii plays well with others.
What you get with Wii
Should you buy a Wii? Not if you want a combination videogame/DVD player, since that's not possible with this machine. The Wii — which does include Wi-Fi capability — is only for playing games, online or off. Gamers can go online with their units to download classic games from Sega Genesis and other prior platforms.
If you want to geek out on a new system's tech specs and enjoy breathtaking, photo-like image quality in your games, look to Sony and Microsoft. But if you can relax a little bit and just enjoy what the Wii has to offer — especially at half the price of the PS3 — there's a lot to make it worth your while. Of the three systems, the Wii is the best value for your gaming dollar, since it requires the smallest initial investment.
The standard Wii package comes with these items in the box: the Wii console itself (a pleasing, compact, iPod-like white unit measuring 8.5 x 6 x 2 inches), a bar that goes across the TV to read a gamer's motions, one Remote with batteries, one Nunchuk, a stand to prop the Wii up vertically, the requisite electrical and audio/video cables and a copy of "Wii Sports." Nintendo has promised 62 new and classic games launched before the end of the year, including the most anticipated release, "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess," available now.
Fans of the long-running "Zelda" series should pick up a Wii without delay — and have probably already preordered them. If not, get in line now. Drop this paper, pack up your rain gear and make the rounds of the stores most likely to have one in stock: GameCrazy (particularly in Redmond, Nintendo's home base), EB Games, GameStop and even the big box stores — Best Buy, Toys "R" Us or Target (call to confirm stock levels).
With 4 million Wii units promised globally during the system's first six weeks, there shouldn't be the need to resort to eBay to find one. Nintendo, unlike Sony, is actually attempting to fulfill demand. You probably won't find one on the shelves today or tomorrow, but as the units are replenished midweek and beyond, you may get lucky.
Wii pros and wee cons
For gamers — and parents of little gamers-in-training — the Wii takes the sting out of videogame culture's most abiding cliches: the couch-potato curse. I tried to do some of these games sitting down, and it is possible, especially for story-driven games like "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess."
But the best option for some games is to clear a space in the living room and get off your butt and into the game. Nintendo even has a warning screen that roughly translates to, "Make sure you have enough room to move without potentially injuring nearby breakable objects, glass paneling or the cat."
I called some other friends to meet my NBF. They responded like a Warner Brothers character in an old cartoon, when Daffy Duck arrives at the new destination even before the phone drops.
Having met the Wii, they agreed that it wasn't without its flaws. The graphics are anything but state-of-the-art, but then again, there was no load time between levels (at least, on the simple sports game) and no stutter in the images themselves. Using the controller for actions like typing in a name was incredibly awkward, and we kept getting stuck in the add-new-players screen.
But all of this mattered very little in the end, because the Wii was just so much fun.
We laughed, gasping for breath when one of us tried an otherwise-mediocre driving game ("Excite Truck"), flailing across the living room like an ice skater gone horribly, terribly wrong. "Do you think the novelty of the controller will wear off over time?" I asked. "I don't know," a friend replied, "But can I come over tomorrow night to find out?"
"Hmm, let me get back to you on that," I answered, suddenly possessive of the Wii. "We'll have to see." It may take a little time. So soon after we met, I'm not sure I'm ready to share my new best friend just yet.

We all know about the big risk factors that pose a threat to our health -- smoking, drinking too much alcohol, not exercising enough, and countless others.
But new health risks regularly hit the headlines and, more often than not, they're things we don't immediately think of as being dangerous to our well-being.
We take a look at five recent health concerns and discover if they're really hazardous.
1. A glass of fruit juice a day increases diabetes risk
An in-depth study has shown that drinking just one glass of orange juice a day could significantly increase a person's risk of diabetes.
The American study followed the long-term health of 70,000 female nurses over an 18-year period.
It found that the women who had one glass of fruit juice a day increased their odds of developing Type 2 diabetes by 18pc. The researchers suggest that "caution should be observed in replacing some beverages with fruit juices in an effort to provide healthier options".
So while we're all keen to increase our daily fruit intake, should we be careful about loading up on juice?
"It's an interesting study and we already know that fruit juices have lots of natural sugars," says Sarah Keogh, consultant dietitian at the Albany Clinic.
"When you eat a whole fruit, it takes longer for the sugar to break down in the body but fruit juice comes into the blood stream much more quickly and can affect insulin levels.
"I wouldn't advise anyone to stop drinking fruit juice -- it's a fantastic source of vitamins and a good way to take in fluids. I'd recommend drinking fruit juice alongside a meal as food slows the absorption of the sugar into the blood stream."
2. Women wearing the wrong size bras are damaging their breasts
An ill-fitting bra does little to flatter a lady's figure but new research has shown that it can also cause fragile ligaments to become irreparably stretched.
A breast biomechanics research team at the University of Portsmouth has spent the past three years testing 50 bra designs on hundreds of women.
"Women tend to leave long gaps between getting measured when they should really be getting fitted for a bra every six months," she says.
"So many things can affect breast size -- medication, weight loss, weight gain and so on.
"The most common mistake that women make is wearing a bra that is too big around the back. This means that the bust falls forward and isn't getting enough support.

"These muffins are wonderful-perfect for that leftover pumpkin in your refrigerator. I replaced half of the flour with whole wheat flour and added 1/4 t. ginger, 1/4t. allspice, and 1/8t. cloves as recommended by another reviewer. This recipe only yielded 9 muffins for me."

"This meatloaf was absolutely delicious! The pineapple topping really added a wonderful flavor. I served this with steamed zucchini. I followed the recipe exactly and will make it again!"
"This recipe is delicious! I use a 2lb. bag of baby red potatoes instead of 3lbs. and use 1 tsp. of kosher salt. When the potatoes are cooked I mix in 2 tablespoons of fresh minced parsley (I use mini food processor for this). These taste especially good with chicken or fish."
"This recipe produces a soft tasty cookie! I followed the recipe exactly but the recipe yielded 4 1/2 dozen instead of 6. The cookies retain their shape nicely."

Car DVR Uses Motion Detection to Catch Your Drive on Film
Car wrecks aren't much fun, unless you're watching them on TV. After the collision is over and you've made sure that everyone is alright, there's something else that goes through your head. Whose fault was it? Sure, you probably have a pretty clear-cut idea of who was at fault, but the officer showing up to the scene might not. In cases where there are no witnesses, it becomes your word against the other driver. One way you can back up your story is by recording the whole thing.
Since you aren't going to bust out your iPhone just before the collision to record it, you'll need something in place to record your entire drive. Chinavasion's Car DVR with Motion Detection is simple, but might be just what you need. It uses an SD card to record video at 640 x 480 resolution. The clips are broken up in to 20 minute segments and are cycled out as space is needed.
Since it is motion-activated, you know it won't just be recording the inside of your garage while it's parked at night, so you only get the good stuff. At $40, I'd say there are few reasons not to get one. They even throw in a 2GB card, how about that?

There is some great advice here and all of the poses are easily achievable without looking forced or contrived. I particularly like pose 7 which can make a very dramatic bridal portrait shot in the right location and light. I'll check out the app for more ideas.

From the Publisher
"This one is too good for words."—The New York Times Book Review
"The Lock Artist is superior in every way: intriguing, carefully crafted characters and a devious plot, all told in the haunting voice of a young man who has no voice. Just for spice, there's a really good love story, too. . . . Hamilton slowly builds this story in layers, using time as a device of suspense and never losing the threads. How and why Mike ended up in jail is only a small part of this incredibly clever novel."—The Globe and Mail
"Mike is one of those unreliable narrators you can't help rooting for— a traumatized soul fighting his way back from the brink— and the mystery of his silence will have you blazing through pages. A smart, inventive thriller, The Lock Artist is packed with a standout cast of characters, plus enough safe-cracking trade secrets to tempt you to dig up that old combination lock and test your newfound knowledge."—Louisville Courier Journal
"An enthralling read . . . Michael [is] an utterly believable and thoroughly captivating character . . . The Lock Artist is a terrific coming-of-age tale and a great crime novel all wrapped in one, with a liberal sprinkling of romance and teenage rebellion to boot."—San Francisco Book Review
"Fascinating, with enough bits of high-voltage action to keep the pulse pounding."—Houston Chronicle
"The unconventional The Lock Artist surpasses even Hamilton's high standards. . . . Hamilton delves deeply into Mike's psyche, saving the tragedy that propelled him to silence until near the end. When the story of why Mike cannot speak is revealed, it is a devastating moment and Hamilton knows how to draw out all the emotional impact."—Florida Sun-Sentinel
"The Lock Artist is far more than a suspenseful heist caper. It's the story of a boy emerging into his own life… The talent Steve Hamilton has developed over the course of the Alex McKnight series is in full bloom here in this daring and deeply satisfying novel."—Reviewing the Evidence
"Propelled by an aching desire to recover his voice, [protagonist] Mike has brushes with the law, flirts with romance and makes alliances with criminals, from rank amateurs to consummate professionals. Along the way, Hamilton drops tantalizing clues about Mike's troubled past and his uncertain future. Readers will hope to hear more from Mike."—Publishers Weekly
"Sharp prose and a strong cast."—Kirkus Reviews
"Intense and involving."—Booklist
"Hamilton has a knack for weaving a complicated web of intrigue and irony and a knack for hoisting the system on its own petard."—Chronogram Magazine
"Hamilton maintains a seamless narrative of escalating suspense as he juggles alternating adolescent and late-teen storylines that merge in the revelation of Mike's brutal secret. With this absorbing coming-of-age tale scarred by horror and adversity, the New York author breathes new life into the oldest chestnut of all, the redemptive power of love."—Winnipeg Free Press
"Hypnotic ... a proven master of suspense moves in a brand new direction - and the result is can't-put-it-down spectacular."—Lee Child
"I haven't read a book this captivating in a long time. The Lock Artist is gutsy, genuine and, flat out, a great read. You won't be disappointed."—Michael Connelly
Praise for Steve Hamilton:
"Hamilton's prose . . . remains an unself-consciously terse pleasure."—Entertainment Weekly on Blood Is the Sky
"Steve Hamilton writes the kind of stories that manly men and tough-minded women can't resist." —The New York Times on North of Nowhere
"A Stolen Season is one of those mysteries that lulls readers into a sense of security, but nothing is certain here."—Washington Post Book World
"Ice Run turns on edge-of-the-seat psychological suspense that Hamilton has honed to precision."—Florida Sun-Sentinel
"Hamilton's prose moves us smoothly along and his characters are marvelously real."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Hunting Wind
