Game & Wario (Wii U)
Published by Developed by Released Platform |
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. ...
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Game & Wario consists of a set of 16 minigames to be played exclusively by one GamePad. Of the 16 of the minigames, 10 are single-player, 2 are single- or double-player, 4 are multi-player (one of which for two players, the remaining for up to five players).Among the uses of the GamePad are: to shoot arrows, or to block these when moved around shield-wise; as a photocamera, to take shots of onscreen items; as a tapping board to beat rhythms on; to move characters on the tv screen by tilting it, even while it is vertically held in the case of skiing; to draw on its touch-screen by stylus; to attend to gameplay, while keeping an eye on the tv to be sure the minigame's protagonist isn't caught playing by his mother (who disagrees about the hobby of videogaming).
Multiplayer is managed by players using the GamePad by turns. In the two-player minigame Disco, players simultaneously hold the GamePad from one side each, tapping out rhytms at each other in turn, while trying to replicate their rival's beats as precisely as they can.
Minigames feature — as playing characters and, more frequently, as minigame hosts — a set of old-time rascals, all acquaintances from the Wario franchise. One of the minigames has a visual setting nostalgically dedicated to Game & Watch Nintendo gaming devices. Well-playing in single-player is rewarded with tokens, by which a series of collectible extras become available.

Nintendo had planned on including Game & Wario as pre-installed software for the WII U's release. They changed their mind later, judging the game's quality as exceeding that fitting a preinstalled piece of software and the game to be prospectively so financially profitable as to deserve being released as a full game; the decision to include the mini-games in the Wario franchise dates to the rethink.Promotion
For the purpose of promoting the game prior to its launch, Nintendo created Crowdfarter, jokingly mimicking well-known collective fundraising site Kickstarter. There, players received coins — usable to get bonus wallpapers, ringtones, and even a trailer of the game — as a reward for spreading the word about the game on Facebook and Twitter. The «funding» activity ceased on the game's release.Credits
There are no game credits on file for this release of the game. Everything in MobyGames is contributable by users.

EMILE GALLE' TWO-TIERED ART NOUVEAU TABLE (signed)
Offered for your consideration is this very beautiful authentic signed two-tiered table created by Emile Galle'. The marquetry is absolutely marvelous, and a table of this quality is quite a rare find in today's market.
The top tier is 28 " wide and 20" deep.The lower tier is 20" wide and 12" deep.The apron surrounding the top tier is 1" deep.The table stands on four gracefully rounded, splayed legs standing 29" in height.
The top tier displays the talentsand artistry ofGALLE' by creating a bucolic sceneinthe art form of inlaid marquetry. The use of a variety ofexotic woods like pecan, birdseye maple, walnut,and other fruitwoods, all create this beautifulfloral or woodland scene.Below, on the lower tier, there is a similar scene but on asmallerscale.
Howwonderful a capability to create such excellent marquetry by inlaying cut shapes and intricate forms and patterns, then placing them into a space, creating trees, rivers, mountains, vineyards,flowers , etc. in varying woods. A very special art form.The capacity to
Thetableis sturdy enough tothis very day to hold a heavy antique lamp on it in my living room.Ihave been the proud owner for many years.The wood inlaid marquetry is in great condition. The Galle' signature, in very fine wooden inlaid script suggests that it was an early piece. It is in the lower leaf of a plant, close to the right edge of the bottom of the scene, on the upper tier.The apron around the table-top has a very small sliver of wood missing, at the very top edge, which can be very easily replaced.
Have fun offerding on this one. It is a valuable work of art !!!!!

Prune picker
This is the blog site of an old man. As a native Californian I call myself a prune picker. I live in a fifth wheel trailer. My front door is 25 steps from my daughter's front door in the Piney Woods of North Louisiana. My blogs are often silly and or trivial, and some times educational and serious. I hope that some are interesting. None are long.
Preparing these blogs seems to fill a need in my life. I am compelled to do it. It helps fill the time until I die. It gives me something to do everyday.

Reformat the Macbook.
Today I am going to reformat my Apple and put it back to store bought condition. I have so goofed it up that it turns on in Windows 7 and I have to use a procedure to get into Apple. I had a section of the computer that used Windows 7. But in playing around I have a slow running computer, passwords and synchronization fouled up, and it opens in Windows. I am going to leave Windows off this time. My desktop computer has all the Windows that I need.

What size big game are you talking about? Pronghorn or muley or even elk? As for the rifle I'd check out the Marlin X7 or the Savage Edge. Between the 2 I'd lean strongly toward the Marlin X7. A 25-06 would be perfect for pronghorn, While a .270 or better yet a 30-06 would be good for muleys or elk. That would give you more money toward a decent scope. Don't fall for the package deals as they usually put the cheapest scope they can on them.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
Yeah. . . I started this thread, before I ventured past the realm of Military style rifles and into the long range game. Since the end of this thread OVER 1 YEAR AGO!!! I have since acquired SEVERAL more rifles and a couple nice pieces of glass. There needs to be a way to block the re-opening of dead threads, unless there is new information that would of great importance, pending repairs/servicing, etc.
Sorry yall I didn't look at the op date. I just saw it up and commented on it.
Maybe you could make a project out of one of the rifles you already have, What do you have now.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks nothing is worth war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than his own personal safety is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless he is made free and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself" John Stuart Mill A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.

Like us on Facebook
>> Tonight is the night the CFDA convenes to hear president Diane von Furstenberg, Michael Kors, and Coco Rocha wax philosophical on "The Beauty of Health: How the fashion industry can make a difference."
The event's expected attendees "include Donna Karan, Francisco Costa, Nicole Miller, Tory Burch, Doo-Ri Chung, Amanda Brooks and Michael Vollbracht." I hope that's only a smattering of who actually attends, considering the lengthy list of CFDA members, because if it's not, how does the CFDA ever expect to make any headway when no one's ready to make a change?

It's here! We've entered the final countdown to Halloween. If you've been dying to enter the creaking door of one of your local Halloween haunts and get the bejabbers scared out of you, here are five helpful hints for getting the most out of your ghastly expedition.
1. Game Plan – If you don't have one, get one. You can bet your visit to a haunted house is going to involve some amount of running, ducking and hiding from ghouls and goblins…what's your plan? If you haven't given it much thought until now, the following ideas may get you howling…I mean, going. Your game plan should also include the list of Haunted Houses you want to visit – be ready to dart to your number two or three on the list if your first choice is already booked or has long lines that leave you in the dark.

Race for the Oasis | E5 6a | ||
65m, 3 pitches. A wandering outing but with good pitches. Start at the very right-hand side of the low roof. 1) 6a, 25m. Gain a chimney and traverse left for 8m (peg under the strip roof) then move up to a peg below another roof. Swing out to a bottomless small groove and climb its left-hand side via a fingery rib before trending right to join Tudor Rose. Hanging belay at the right-hand end of a narrow roof. 2) 5b, 10m. Move left for 3m and climb a shallow groove. At the top of this traverse left again, and down, to the recessed belay on Dougal the Great. 3) 5c, 30m. Head diagonally rightwards to the fault-line and swing along to a good ledge (peg). From the left-hand side reach a peg, step left and move boldly up the wall to good finishing holds. Exit right then left up an easy groove. © ROCKFAX FA. Martin Crocker, Jim Robertson 27/Nov/1982 Submit a new photo of this climb. | |||

Exclusive: Recent comments by U.S and Israeli military leaders indicate that the intelligence services of the two countries agree that Iran has not decided to build a nuclear bomb, a crack in the Western narrative that the U.S. press corps won't accept, as ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern explains.
Foreign Policy
Reagan's Hand in Guatemala's Genocide
Exclusive: Guatemala has begun a politically difficult process to make human rights violators of the 1980s accountable for their crimes, including genocide inflicted on Indian villages, but the United States still heaps praise on the killers' chief American accomplice, Ronald Reagan, writes Robert Parry.
Spanish Front in War on Truth
Those who want true democracy favor a well-informed public, but those who simply want power understand that a smart electorate is a dangerous thing, so they seek out and destroy truth-tellers, as is now happening to a crusading judge in Spain, as Lawrence Davidson reports.
UK Silences Iran's Press TV
During the Iraq War, the U.S. took aim at AlJazeera. Now, as the information wars heat up between the West and Iran, British regulators have ordered Iran's Press TV off the air, a move that Danny Schechter says further limits public information about the next looming crisis.
Getting Rid of 'Anti-Israel' Presidents
Exclusive: Some staunch supporters of Israel believe that its interests are so compelling that they trump American self-governance, with one extremist suggesting the murder of President Obama. Others, however, appear to have joined in an earlier subversion of U.S. democracy, Robert Parry reports.
Asking Questions Before a War
The neocons who rushed the United States into war with Iraq are trying the same with Iran, albeit with less influence over President Obama than President Bush. Still, the truncated debate on Iran is causing flashbacks among some policy experts who fear a repeat of Iraq, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
Israel Tamps Down Iran War Threats
Exclusive: For months, Israeli hardliners and their neocon allies in the United States have been beating the war drums over Iran. But apparent resistance to war from President Obama has brought a softening of rhetoric in Israel, as ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern reports.
Will Obama Resist Push for Iran War?
The last two American presidents who pressured Israel (Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush) lost reelection. Though the reasons for their defeats varied, their strained relations with Israel surely didn't help, a dilemma now facing Barack Obama as Israel demands U.S. backing against Iran, as Marjorie Cohn describes.
Obama Signals Israel on Iran War
President Obama postponed a military exercise with Israel out of concern that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was drawing the U.S. into war with Iran, Gareth Porter and Jim Lobe reported. Obama took the step despite pressure from Republicans and Congress to line up behind Israel's desires.
Americans Fed Up with Neocon Wars?
Mitt Romney and other Republican presidential hopefuls (with the exception of Ron Paul) are touting tough-guy global strategies that sound like George W. Bush, circa 2002. But recent public opinion polls suggest that Americans are leery of new neocon adventures, Lawrence S. Wittner reports.

Full-Duplex, Extended-Reach 10G-TDM-OCDM-PON System Without En/Decoder at ONU
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 31, Issue 1, pp. 43-49 (2013)
Acrobat PDF (1191 KB)
In this paper, we propose a novel long-reach 10.3 Gb/s time division multiplexing (TDM) and optical code division multiplexing (OCDM) hybrid passive optical network (PON) system without en/decoder at optical network unit (ONU), which can realize the aggregation and the extended reach of 10 Gb/s-class TDM-PON systems. Full-duplex transmission, including 4 packets × 4 optical codes (OCs) burst uplink, over single mode fiber (SMF) 65 km without dispersion compensation is experimentally demonstrated by adapting key components such as multi-level phase-shift-keying (PSK) multi-port optical en/decoder, narrow-band optical band pass filter and 10.3 Gb/s burst-mode 3R receiver.

Planned Parenthood opponents will appear before the North Platte City Council Tuesday, according to Ed Rieker, the chairman of the Western Nebraska Community for Life.
Rieker said the group will present petitions to the council with more than 2,000 signatures.
"This will be our primary opportunity where we can show the city council and the mayor that over 2,000 people in North Platte and the surrounding area do not want Planned Parenthood in North Platte," Rieker said in a widely circulated email that was sent to the Bulletin.
Rieker plans to make a short presentation about Planned Parenthood and "what they do and why we do not want them in North Platte," he wrote. "This is one of the main efforts we have undertaken to keep Planned Parenthood out of North Platte."

The quotation is from canto 2, stanza 45, and gives the words spoken by Clorinda to the executioners who are about to burn Sophronia and her lover Olindo at the stake. The same scene was illustrated in a Genoese edition of the poem, published by G. Pavoni in 1617 (Figure 5). The three tapestries in this room were appraised at 1012.05 scudi. If the wide piece, like the first tap- estry described, was valued at 500.45 scudi, the other two would have been worth 255.80 each. There were four tapestries in a room described as "ove e situato il p.mo baldachino." All had "figure di- verse in piedi con loro fregio rapp.te frutti e fiori con figure ne cantoni, quale anno sopra le spalle una palla sbarrata con aquila di due [teste] ... con altra iscriz- zione a pie della cimase di d.i quattro arazzi: P. Fer- loni f. Romae A.D. 1738 e 1737" and a valuation of 394.90 scudi each. All four were 143/4 palmi high. The inscribed quotations are given for each piece. The first has: "Tratto al tumulto il pio Goffredo intanto vede fero spettacolo improviso." It is 171/spalmi wide and has not been identified, but, as the quotation comes from canto 5, stanza 32, it must show Godfrey find- ing the body of Gernando, killed by Rinaldo. The second tapestry, also not identified, has: "Va dal rago alle nozze, ed e gia sposo fatto di reo non pur d'a- mante amato." It is 17 palmi wide.

In stanza 82 of the first canto, Aladin, king of Jerusalem, is informed that the Crusaders' army is at hand; the savage plan that he contemplates is the massacreof the Christians.As in Figure 3, he is shown as a Turkish sultan and some of his attendants are janissaries. It is clear that the tapestries were hung in the Can- celleria without thought for their narrative conti- nuity. All the scenes are from the first seven cantos of the poem. From the first canto comes an event near the beginning of the action, the choice of Godfrey of Bouillon as leader of the Crusade (Figure 1). Five pieces then illustrate an episode related in this and the following canto, the story of Sophronia and Olindo. Aladin, king of Jerusalem, hears of the ap- proaching Crusaders (Figure 13); he orders a statue of the Virgin to be taken from a church to a mosque, whence it is surreptitiously removed by Sophronia. The king threatens to kill all the Christians, but So- phronia confesses (Figure 3); he condemns her to the stake and when Olindo, who loves her, takes the blame upon himself, orders him to be burned with her. The couple are rescued at the last minute by Clorinda and are married. 14. Sophroniaand OlindoRescuedby Clorinda,Flemish, late Clorinda rescuing the two Christians is one of the 16th century.
