Email: Konstantinos Perrotis
I live in Athens and I am currently studying for a PhD (part-time) at Lancaster University. I attended the American University of Greece, Deree College, Athens, Greece, where I graduated in June 2009. At this University I obtained a Bachelor degree (high distinction) in Psychology and two minors, one in Business and one in Economics.
The area of my research is Occupational Stress in the Underwater Mission Unit, Hellenic Coast Guard, Greece. I chose this particular research since firstly it appeals to me and secondly I am employed in the Underwater Mission Unit. Having worked in this unit for six years it became apparent to me that this occupation is confronted with many unique stressors which up until now have been totally neglected from the occupational stress literature and mental health professions.
This research is supervised by Professor Sue Cartwright, Director of the Centre for Organizational Health and Well-Being, and Professor Cary L Cooper. My advisor in Greece where I am collecting the data is Dr. Ritsa Fotinatos at Deree College

Self control has been the focus of many studies, yet little research has focused on how this concept could influence the wellbeing and resilience of line managers.

With the rates of work-related stress, depression and anxiety remaining broadly flat for more than a decade, and time and financial losses from work related illness quoted in the millions (Health and Safety Executive, 2014), the need for effective strategies to manage wellbeing remain a priority.

"Person-environment fit and how this influences employee mental health and wellbeing at work"
Email: Sirkka Jarlvik
With a background in occupational psychology and currently working as a Business Psychologist in the Middle East within aviation, I have an interested in person-environment fit and how this influences employee mental health and wellbeing at work. In particular how peer support amongst flight crew members influences safety related behaviour through work related commitment. This group of employees are of interest as they work on critical tasks under unique and unstable conditions, such as irregular shifts in a restricted high-risk environment with changing and diverse team members.
In other high-risk organisations (e.g., medical clinics and the offshore gas and oil industry) peer support has been identified as playing a key role in employee work commitment. With this qualitative study I intend to explore how the mental health and wellbeing of pilots is influenced by peer support. It is hoped that the results of this study will inform best practice in aviation safety, as well as lead to additional studies aimed to further clarify the complex link between peer support, health and wellbeing and safety related behaviour.

News Posted On: 29 August 2011
The latest data from the Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index, in conjunction with the National Association of Home Builders puts housing affordability in the US at a 20 year high. According to the data 75% of housing in the country is now affordable to families earning the national average salary $64,200.
This is great news of course, especially with interest rates at record lows, unfortunately credit is still in a stranglehold allowing only those with impeccable credit histories to even think about buying with a mortgage -- not to mention worries over the economy putting a dampener on sentiment.
Some housing markets are shining through the gloom amidst talk of green shoots. The Youngstown-Warren-Boardman area is currently the most affordable according to the index, with those on the average salary able to afford an incredible 94% of housing in the area. Lakeland-Winter Haven in Florida and Syracuse in New York were also mentioned for having noteworthy affordability.
According to the report, this affordability and signs of recovery are making US property even more attractive. Investors from around the world have been snapping up distressed properties in the US for the past year, with the view of high-yield rentals and the possibility of capital gain when the market recovers.
But for countless others, doubts over the time between now and recovery made investment too risky for their strategies. Rising affordability and green-shoots in some regions is a step in the right direction, now we just need to add easing credit restrictions and we are almost there.

It all depends on the lineup with roo. Its hit or miss. In my opinion a great fest should be great even with a mediocre lineup and in my experience waka has that and roo doesn't. Waka feels like a celebration of life and the roo feels like just another concert to me. Although I'm sure people feel the exact opposite as I do and I'm not knocking that. Just giving my opinion

North End land Hume
Preston have signed Canada striker Iain Hume on loan from Championship rivals Barnsley.The 26-year-old has arrived at Deepdale on a 93-day loan with a view to a permanent transfer and is expected to go straight into the squad for the visit of Norwich on Saturday.Hume, who suffered a fractured skull in 2008, has made just two first-team appearances for Barnsley this season and is relishing the chance to get regular football.He told PNE Player: "Whenever I have played here in the past there has been decent crowds and they do get on your back a bit when you are the away team. It'll be good to be on the home side now, it will be a different story but hopefully we can get the crowd behind us and push forward."It's been a tricky start but Preston haven't played poorly, I have watched a few of the highlights and I watched the game the other day and we don't deserve to be where we are."If I can help and can push the team forward in some little way then I am doing my job and if the team continues playing the way they are then I am sure they will push out of the position they are in."

Photo Release -- Keel Authenticated For Ingalls Shipbuilding's 11th LPD Portland
Bonnie Amos, wife of Gen. Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, is the ship's sponsor. She authenticated the keel of LPD 27 saying it had been "truly and fairly laid." Her name was welded onto a steel plate by Ingalls welder Marty Peterson.
During her remarks, Mrs. Amos told the Ingalls shipbuilders, "I've been told the sponsor of a ship instills her own unique spirit into the heart of each warship. I take that responsibility very seriously and will be thinking and praying for each one of you every day as you bring this ship to completion. Today marks the beginning of my commitment to support this ship, my commitment to the workers who will bring her to life and my commitment to the men and women who wear the cloth of our nation who will man her decks."
Ingalls Shipbuilding is building the entire LPD 17 San Antonio Class of ships, the newest addition to the Navy's 21st century amphibious assault force. To date, eight ships have been delivered to the Navy. The 684-foot-long, 105-foot-wide ships are used to transport and land Marines, their equipment and supplies ashore via embarked air cushion or conventional landing craft and amphibious assault vehicles, augmented by helicopters or vertical takeoff and landing aircraft such as the Osprey. The ships will continue to support amphibious assault, special operations, or expeditionary warfare and humanitarian missions throughout the first half of the century.
In addition to more than 10,000 Ingalls shipbuilders, there are 650 suppliers from 38 states which support the LPD 17 program. Ingalls spends approximately $175 million a year with this vital industrial base.
Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) designs, builds and maintains nuclear and non-nuclear ships for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard and provides after-market services for military ships around the globe. For more than a century, HII has built more ships in more ship classes than any other U.S. naval shipbuilder at its Newport News Shipbuilding and Ingalls Shipbuilding divisions. Employing about 37,000 in Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana and California, HII also provides a wide variety of products and services to the commercial energy industry and other government customers, including the Department of Energy.

Research about England's eugenic movement in 1930s is unveiled
FRESNO, Calif. -- A California State University, Fresno, graduate is making news in England.
Bradley Hart discovered previously unseen photos of Adolf Hitler and documents that for the first time link a prominent British scientist to Nazi Germany's efforts to create a master race through its use of sterilization.
Hart's groundbreaking historical research about England's eugenic movement in the 1930s was unveiled Thursday at Cambridge University, where he's working on his doctorate through the university's Churchill College,
Already, London's Daily Mail newspaper and the local Cambridge press have published stories about his discovery. He did a radio interview with the BBC World Service on Thursday morning....

For those who didn't Click on the Link I provided, or who don't know: 1 ~ The 438 Short Shuttle would've been #1 at The Combine. 2 ~ The 35" Vertical would've also been #1. 3 ~ The 125" Broad would've also been #1...by 9 Inches!! 4 ~ His 478 Forty would've been #3. He's got a 35" WingSpan. Don't have his 3 Cone Time. What. A. Freak.
He's listed as a Defensive End ~ which wouldn't break my heart, mind you ~ but he's obviously a Clean Slate ~ a Champion Discuss Lobber, for those who don't know'f'm ~ and I'd prefer to develop'm as an Offensive Tackle. But, hey: I'm Easy.
I'd want to try him at 3-tech first. He's got the explosion to be exceptional there, and I think he'd be able to play there sooner than on offense. A messed up play on the offensive line gets Brady killed. A messed up play on the defensive line means either no pressure from him or a long run thanks to a blown gap.
Honestly, I don't think there's any stopping this kid. Just viewed the Interview. This kid oozes quiet Intensity & Determination, and specifically mentioned that he's prepared to churn away on the Practice Squad. With Sebastian The Cruel & Nate Universal Solder locked and loaded, the 2nd Round is too pricey to invest in Offensive Tackle at this point, otherwise how cool would it be to bring in ~ arguably ~ the two most athletically gifted Offensive Tackles in the Draft ~ Menelik Watson being the other ~ with both being British?? Blimey!! "Nice Blocking on that Go, Mate! Wot, wot?" "Thanks, Old Boy!!" "Care for a spot of Tea & Crumpets after this Match, Old Horse?" "Jolly Good!!"
Huh.....We'll I would be intrigued. He reminds of when Blaine Sumner, DT, Colorado School of Mines was a 2011 Draft Prospect.
Former Rugby Union player (like the Aussie TE for the Jets) and utterly freakish numbers for the combine, personally I'd have him at DT and give him 1 job - get into the backfield and hit whoever has the ball there as hard as he can.
It reminds me of Brock Lesnars foray into NFL a few years ago. It's one thing being a freakish athlete, but another to make an impact in the NFL having never played a snap in your life. Still, I suppose the ingredients are there to make him an interesting prospect and nothing ventured, nothing gained etc....

Game 4 of Bulls v Nets could be huge in Chicago
From 25 April 2013 To 25 April 2013
AddressUnited Center, 1901 West Madison Street, Chicago, IL 60612, United States
The Chicago Bulls have enjoyed a great season in the NBA this year.
Despite huge amounts of injuries, they have ended up in fifth place in the Eastern Conference - ending Miami's 27-game winning run in the process.
The Bulls have been rewarded with a first-round Play-Off tie with the Brooklyn Nets and the series is sure to have people looking for stays in Chicago hotels.
Game 4 of the match-up will take place on April 27th at the United Center and it could be a pivotal one, as four wins will be needed to progress into the next round.
Bulls fans will be hoping that they get some of their stars back in time for the game, with Derrick Rose's fitness a key concern ahead of the series.
The Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel Chicago could be the perfect place to be based for a few days as it is just a ten-minute drive from the United Center.

I just saw the trailer for this movie yesterday... it looks action pack and interesting but im iffy about Denzo as the protagonist. Dont get me wrong he's an amazing actor... but this doesn't seem like his type of role, not even Will Smith in my eye. The only other black guy that i could see playing that roll is Wesley Snipes.
I know but many people thought this about "Traning Day" and he was sick in that film, I mean he's played antagonist before but not like in that, dude was one evil mofo but many people loved seeing that more darker side of him including myself.
Seeing him play such a different role will be nice, he's playing the type of protagonist I like you know the ones that will do every and anything to achive there goal, which makes you think for a couple minutes and go damn is he really the good guy lol.
Nah its not the tone of character, hell yea he could dominate the dark roles, but more of the action itself. Like he's doing all that krav maga, swords play action stuff. Give him some guns and shit and he'll shoot up the place in his calm demeanor but i don't know how he'll transfer over to fighting and all that stuff. Meh, either way I'll see it and he'll surprise me as usual.

Peanut Butter Goodness
Another fantastic flavor from Kate's. I'm a huge fan of the peanut butter and dark chocolate combo for a boost of energy. These all natural products don't have that fake over processed taste, are calorie dense, but wont leave your stomach upset. They are expensive but worth it!

real good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This bar has a peanut butter, chocolate, flaxseed, hempseed theme going on and I love it. There are no cherries in here, like the description suggests. Its absolutely delicious and I can't get tired of this one. Kates bars don't freeze like other bars, I like that too.

A Coast to Coast campground that is very marginal. The lack of maintenance shows. They have a strict policy of no arrivals until noon. If you get there just an hour early you have the choice of paying $5 or park down the hill in a dusty area with no hookups even if the temperature is over 100 degrees. We payed an additional fee for 50 amp service only to have the electric quit one evening when the temperature was 104 degrees. It was repaired the next morning and the problem was a bad ground in the electric box. There is little or no shade. The clerk in the office was very snippy and was not helpful. Wi-Fi is available from Tengo Internet for an additional fee of $10.95 per week. Paved roads with dirt campsites. Convenient to Casinos. We do not plan to return again. - Bill In Florida
For an older RV park this is one of the best I've ever stayed in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Most sites are occupied by long-term residents with a small number of sites for over-niters or short-term stays. It's very quiet here - no motorcycles, ATVs, loud vehicles, young partiers, etc. The RV park, pool area, laundry room, lounge, bath and shower rooms are very clean and well-kept. Definitely worth the effort one must make in order to get an available site. - User213

Sorry, but I don't agree with the previous reviewers and for a couple of very specific reasons. We called ahead for a reservation because the website looked so lovely and because it was right on the river and we have dogs who love to swim in the river. We had asked for two spaces together as we are traveling with friends. Now, the picture on the website of palm trees and grass is there, yes and it is lovely. But there is another side to this park - a gravel lot that backs up to a chain link fence with no vegetation whatsoever - bleak describes it best. There were two spots right next to each other in the "pretty" area and as both couples arrived separately, we asked for those sites. When I asked, could we please be there, the woman shrugged her shoulders and said "I thought about putting you there but no, I'm putting you in space 4 (which is by the desolate fence area). We watched carefully and NO ONE took those sites that night. The other negative for me is that when I went to do the laundry, there were no lights in the laundry room. Perhaps a couple light bulbs were burned out in the ceiling fixture but the wall switch light had been replaced with a blank plate so using the wall switch was no longer possible. It was pitch black in the laundry, with the exception of some light from the outside. It was scary to be in there in the dark when some guy comes in, after having a few drinks, looking around! I took my husband back with me to get our things from the dryer and he's a contractor and also couldn't find any lights that were functional. My next complaint is the check in system. It took close to 20 minutes to check in And in the end, I got three separate pieces of paper. It seemed such overkill. It was easier to apply for my Global Entry card with Homeland security! In addition, we were given three pages of rules - there were exactly 50 rules, in rather specific legalese. Really? Now for the good things. The pretty RV spots are really pretty - nice green grass, well tended spaces, palm trees, very very nice. There is a great little cove where the dogs can swim, protected, safe, clean, very much a plus. The club room looked nice and tidy. The pool was being worked on while we were there. Overall, the thing about the spaces left a bad taste in my mouth. There was just no reason not to let us stay in those nice spots and delegate us to the fence. So if you plan to stay, ask which spots are available. The pretty spots are down the middle. And it seems to me that lighting should be watched carefully. - twestover
Nightly rate includes Good Sam discount and taxes. Very friendly office staff and beautiful facilities. Clubhouse offers a full kitchen, outside lounges, books, large screen TV and a beautiful view of the Colorado River. Sites and road are gravel but very level. Nice picnic tables at each site. There's a beach area with lounge chairs and a boat dock. Pool was drained and inaccessible during our stay. I would come again. - RVtravelers2
Riviera along the Colorado River. A writer, artist and world traveler for over 40 years, I am always on the lookout for that rare faceted jewel, perhaps a small hotel, resort, Inn, that perhaps has gone undiscovered by the maddening crowds, and forever feel lucky when I find one. Over a year ago, I did exactly that, when nestled along the Colorado River I found such a place, the Colorado River Oasis RV Park. Owned and managed by a wonderful couple Miranda and Dean, it is pretty much managed by Miranda. She has an elegant sense of doing her thing and has a sharp eye for style, grace, landscaping, the little things, etc and keeping the resort shinning, and it clearly shows within every inch where one might glance. I am positive she is a perfectionist, but as yet have not told her so. So much more than a RV park, there is the white sand beach edging the indigo waters of the river. For those that love boating, there is a dock, ramp, and I have been told even from shore the fishing is fantastic. The beach resembles a cove, and is surrounded on the elevated cliffs by several chalet style abodes, all with river views, with wooden decks angled just so to accept the cool winds spiraling off of the river. Above the beach is the RV Park, small but as everything here, enticing with palms and trees everywhere, a lovely balance between utility and nature. I might note, Miranda makes everyone feel like family. The recently redecorated tile bathrooms are clean as a new penny, and are located next to their full gym and community play room. At the other end is the swimming pool and Jacuzzi, as everything else, done to perfection. With the pool and beach, and with the casinos just across the river in Laughlin, and a golf course some fifteen minutes away, well I found it family friendly to say the least. I wrote this review because so often when rare people pour their mind, talents and hearts into making something extraordinary, like this couple have, it often goes un noticed and is never commented on. Since I feel that I have found my home away from home while I write, I look forward to spending another year here. - rvqueennancy

We stayed on the river in the no hook up sites. Had great site right on the river. The hookup sites also looked very good, but we didn't stay there. Spent two nights here and would stay again. - Alvin Lloyd
We stayed at Camp Davis for a week in Feb. 2015. It could be an excellent park if it weren't for the highway noise and the airplane noise. There are Military training exercises going on all day long. They do touch and go landings and every three to four minutes a plane comes overhead, all day long. There is a stoplight 1/4 mile from the Park entrance and another stoplight at the park entrance. Being on a hill you hear the trucks, loud motorcycles, and cars accelerating up the hill and trucks jake braking down the hill all night long. The bathrooms are in need of updating and cleaning, as is the laundry. The grounds are very well maintained and the staff very friendly and helpful. The setting is beautiful, with areas on the river for sitting, wading, and swimming. They do not have WiFi but there is a private service available. No cable but the major channels came in with an antenna. If you don't mind noise this is a very nice park. The dry camp sites on the river are quieter and very beautiful spots. - DBG
We really liked this park. We parked next to the Colorado River, and unlike earlier reviews we heard NO traffic noise and witnessed no annoying military exercises of any kind. We marked bad on cleanliness because there was quite a bit of dog feces at our site. This is a county run park, our site had no BBQ but did have a fire ring of sorts. We stayed on the primitive side so we could be closest to the river and had no regrets. We would definitely stay here again. - kcjflea

With its appealing Spanish entry, the first impression was cleanliness. We are glad we stopped here. A secure park with an evening guard, it's a very clean senior haven with park models and with sparkling swimming pools, which offers overnight RVs an inexpensive full hook-up option while visiting Laughlin's casinos. We would have rated a 10 if there had been shade trees. We would stay here again as an overnight stop. - from Latte Land
This is basically a 55+ resort. Many park models but very nice in a Spanish type setting. Super clean. Very large area although the sites are close you don't feel cramped. They have two large pools (a cool pool and a warm pool), plus two hot tubs (a warm tub and a hot spa type). All salt water pools. Super grounds and lots of areas for hobbies. Very convenient to all major type stores. Only draw back, its windy in this area and it blows about 1/2 the month. Sometimes it can get high winds. Never could leave the awnings down. - srb1534

$5 per night (using the Golden Age Passport, $10 without) was for a mostly level site that was surrounded by a generous area of sand/gravel and beautiful desert vegetation including large oleander plants, which offered privacy for each site. Each primitive site has a concrete picnic table and fire ring. This campground is located on the outskirts of Bullhead City where every amenity is available. Our site had a 360? view of the surrounding valleys and mountains. Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers plenty of outdoor activities including hiking and biking trails, rock climbing, boating, fishing, hunting, and picnicking. AT&T and Verizon service were three ? four bars of LTE. There were over 20 OTA TV stations and we received many radio stations including HD stations. - DD Rolling Ranch
This park is partly a mobile homes park and has RV sites as well. We used this park as a planned overnight stop and were satisfied with it. Personnel was friendly, facilities were clean and it was quiet in the night. The RV sites are all gravel and arranged in a circle with no trees or bushes so there is not much shade or privacy between sites. There is one or two grills on the lawn in the middle of the RV sites circle. I wouldn't come here to spend my holiday, but I definitely would stay there again for an overnight stop or two. Oh, there's also a store in the park down at the lake shore that has some basic supplies. - Chbronson
I guess you could give this park a 10 because they only charge 10, i don't know but I wish there were more places to stay like this that when passing through, you could get by with ten dollars. Their were no hook-ups, and thats ok for ten bucks at night. It got pretty quiet even when the bikers rally was going on, outside of the summer months I would stay here again. - monaco cruiser

Sites are large and gravel with cement patio. All connections are at the rear of the spot. Cable was good. Wi-Fi was good. Buildings on the ends of the park with shower and toilet are old, but were clean. The ladies' showers in the clubhouse have NO privacy once you step out of the shower area to dress. The handicapped shower in the ladies room doesn't even have a plastic curtain. This could be fixed so simple with curved curtains and a small stool at each shower, but it has been that way at least for 12 years. The pool was not technically open this time of year, but since the weather was in the 90s the time we were there we used that and the jacuzzi anyway. The grounds are well kept, and the people that check us in are friendly. - traveling
Pros: Large park with many available spaces. The pool/spa and community center were reopened recently and are very nice. Most of the sites appear to be level,large lots. Cons: The power connection is on the side opposite the water and sewer. No tables and very little shade at the sites, and the patio slabs are fairly small and in many cases do not lineup for access from the coach. Office closes at 4:00 - Norm Nice Guy
Checked in and was told "no clubhouse, no internet, no pool, no hot tub...all due to a fire". The internet got up and running later, but it is paid internet. Was here last year and found out the pool is solar heated so is not turned on until late April and has not been running during winter months for a few years. I have always felt this is false advertisement when the campgrounds say "heated pool" and it is only heated during summer months. Rate was based on C2C, part of the Sunrise groups, so hopefully things will improve. - Pinantan

The grounds, showers and laundry room were clean. The office offered mail service. Our site was cramped and uneven but we had quiet neighbors. The park was full and included full time campers and snow bird campers. We stayed 3 months. The cost cited was on a monthly rate which was lower than most other parks. The swimming pool was small but nicely heated. - Martins
Nice location and the rate was very reasonable. I do wish that their electricity cap rates were made more clear on the website.. and they dance around that water is not included. It was the first of a couple parks we tried in the area. Better location than most, but we did not get the same community feel nor were there as many activities made available. - SnowbirdSusie
An older park with tight, small spaces, which is typical for parks in the area. It is necessary to coordinate with your neighbor when you want to leave. There were many permanent residents but that did not bother us. The price was reasonable and staff friendly. There is a charge for WiFi, but we did not use it. We would stay here overnight if in the area again. - california traveler

We like this park the rate reflects a coupon obtained in Quartzsite. The park itself has a nice layout, the back ins along the entrance have a great view of the Colorado River and casinos lit up at night. The park is showing a little wear; it could use some TLC. For some reason the cable TV is snowy, most people put their antennas up, don't know what the situation is here, didn't really want to ask. For this rate we would definitely stay here again. This is probably our fourth time staying here; very convenient to golfing, the river, the casinos and the shopping you need to do, it works out great. - monaco cruiser
A very quiet pleasant park. Mostly regular year around tenants. The staff and management are very friendly and helpful. Wonderful pool & spa. Just a nice place to stay anytime of year. - ccjj

We stayed two nights at Silver View RV Park. We selected a site on the ridge that faced north toward the Laughlin casinos. I pulled into the site backward so the windshield of the MH was facing the view. I was able to reach the hook up for electric and water but not sewer. Not a problem since we were only there two nights. We had a great view and since we were on a ridge, total privacy so we didn't need to close the curtains at night. Sites are gravel and fairly level. Staff were friendly. Small pool and spa which we didn't use because of the weather. Just below the ridge is a very busy road. Traffic, lots of it, going up the steep hill made for a very noisy stay. The thing that bothered us the most was the wind. It is not uncommon for it to be windy in Laughlin/Bullhead City. However the location of the rv park, on the high ridge, makes the wind even worse. It rocked our MH during our entire stay. It was difficult to hold the door open when getting in and out of the MH. The wind on the ridge was at least twice as strong as in the valley near the river. If you can get a weather forecast that indicates no wind it might be worth staying here for a night or two, assuming you want a view and can tolerate the noise. Next time I'm going to try one of the parks down on the strip in Laughlin. - AKJohn
We stayed here through New Year's and had blizzard on New Year's day...it was Fun!!! We had a hill top site with View of the River/Casino's down below. The bluff location can be very windy so watch those awning's if you dare open it. Good utilities all around. Gravel pads. This is a large CG and it does have some long term residents but we found everyone to be friendly. The small snack bar on site has daily specials. - acampingfan

This was one of the best directs in a long time for me! I was really hoping the next fire emblem would be on 3ds instead of Wii u.
Anyone in the comments complaining should take a step back and realize THEY JUST RELEASED A NEW FIRE EMBLEM GAME!
What genres ARE you interested in?
I disagree about Batman forever SNES's music. How could anyone call that beautiful title theme "some of the blandest music ever committed to code"? The Arkham Asylum stage theme is really great too.
The title seems a bit misleading. Reading the quote he's saying that he "would love to have Call of Duty on our platform" and "I would love to have any of the big blockbuster, multi-platform titles".
But then he says that if he had to choose, he would rather Nintendo get their exclusives than the multi-platform titles, so that Nintendo could provide a different experience, instead of a different version of the same thing.
Hmm, why aren't there articles on all the studies that say they do? Not that it would matter. On these kinds of topics, gamers are going believe what they want to believe, no matter what some study shows.
There could be a price cut. OR there could be a highly advertised sale during the Christmas season.
Because anybody who's going to buy one anytime soon would buy it then, and then there can be a price cut mid/later next year, when the reason for the price cut would be the regular reduction of price as the console gets older, instead of "because Microsoft did it".
EDIT: Reading closer instead of skimming, I see that this is what Microsoft is doing, actually. I thought we were talking permanent price reductions. Oops.
Makes sense. I've got a full 8gb in mine, and I can see someone with a 16 or 32 being much slower.
If that's the case, I hope they're using the exact same SD cards for both 3DSs in the video.
I had a gbc game simply called mickey's racing or something like that. I don't know how many have played or remember that game but it's is one of my favorite racers ever, despite the limited technology of gbc. It was kind of a sim/kart racer if i remember corectly. I had as much fun with that old game as any mario kart.
This is awesome! Plus its another ad for MK8, which it needs. I think the people saying it looks out of place have convinced themselves in their minds that it does. Try imagining a couple spikes on the hood and see if that helps.
Nintendo could at least offer one Wii U set with the pro controller $50 cheaper and one bundled with the Gamepad for those who want it, right? I see NO REASON why not.
Well then it's really a question of how smart Nintendo is. After that Smash Bros direct, I think Nintendo are really taking this game seriously. If its released before the holiday, you can be pleasantly surprised. If it doesn't release until 2015, I'll be surprised, but I won't be complaining. Complaining about a company "lying" (like you seem to be doing about VC) makes no sense to me. But I won't get into that.
And about the VC, cheer up! It was really good for a month up until last week, but more GBA games are coming soon, so hopefully it will improve again then.
@XCWarrior @ikki5
True, but the Wii U needs this game before holiday. I'm sure Nintendo are pouring everything in this game to get it released before then. They may have said winter but they meant holiday.
The GBA game "Nightmare in dreamland" had some good minigames and modes. It had a racing minigame, one that had something to do with bombs, and the best version of quick draw. Those are my favorites.
Listening to the iTunes previews... I like it. Some of them sound like they'd fit right in to a DKC though.
I never really gave this game a look before, but I may consider it now.
The comments for this are really sad. The guy does an awesome interview for this site and people insult him? Maybe before discussing how arrogant Mew2King sounds you should be thinking of how mean some of the comments you're posting come across.
To those who are saying that this list is disappointing or too short, these are the "biggest games" coming to Wii U, not all the games coming. If none of these appeal to you, there's still a bunch more games coming this year. There's really no need to be so pessimistic.
Anyway, I'm glad Project Cars was on this list. It deserves it.
The announcement that David Wise was back to compose DKC:TF was the reason I was most exited for this game! I would love it if he did some work on the next Metroid too.
Has never really been a problem for me. Pretty much every missing Nintendo game soundtrack is on Youtube, so I download them from Youtube and then edit/cut them as needed myself, and then compile them into a soundtrack in iTunes. Takes a couple hours per soundtrack.
Metroid: Prime hunters was amazing for the DS. The only Metroid game with good Multiplayer.
Those are some nice screens.
I hope they can still find room for Professor Layton in their roster! Here's hoping for 50-60 characters, Tekken style!
I hope they use this for games. To me it sounds like some crazy virtual reality stuff. It sure would be cool if they could "put you in the game". That's what this kind of sounds line, with the "healthy" stuff and all. In a platformer, you could really lose some weight.
Why is the comment section the massive bashing of EA? It was funny the first couple of times, but really? Maybe this is why EA doesn't release games on Nintendo platforms. Apparently all the fans hate EA.
At least he says positive things about Nintendo. Lying or not, at least they're not "dead to him". It will be much easier to revive they're relationship if he thinks they're a "great partner".
Wow! Just ordered one! Last time I missed out, so I'm glad they're back! Quite a few coins though. I'm now running quite low.
How could you not want it! I think the actual game would be considered more rare though. Maybe if I had this, someone with one of the copies would trade me for it!
OH NO! I already bought this game, and your telling me I bought a incomplete game?!? Where is the butt I was promised Nintendo!
Well I would be angry about not having ALttP, but I had no idea Photo finder was going to be $10! It is a full game right?
Sorry I meant to say that a different way sometime what I am trying to say I don't say things right sorry
I'm sorry im so so sorry but this video made me feel like I didnt want to watch it kind of, like it was making me want to go away and it wasnt injoyible.
I assume your referring to Other M? I enjoyed other M and thought it was fine. Well, in terms of gameplay. And almost everything was well done. The cutscenes were very good for the wii, and I was overall very impressed with the game. Just not the story.
I have heard that others have a huge problem with other M... Well that's what Adventures is like for me. I can't "move foreword" because they're not fixing anything! Now 60% of the series is bad!
Really I think he only way I could be truly content with a new Starfox is if it continued where Starfox 64 left off and totally forgot the three games after it. The original and 64 are the only ones I truly accept.
And while I'm at it, I don't see how they acted like it was a "magical present". They showed the footage and moved on with the direct. What else were they supposed to do?

Modern masculinity is measured not by a stoicism that makes us resemble an inanimate object (a rock, a pillar) but by a capacity for feeling, a capacity to be moved -- even moved to tears. It may once have been true that, as the Cure sang, "Boys don't cry." But not anymore. Today, real men cry.
Read Whole Story
As I recover from this latest battle with the anxiety, I am looking for the lessons it has to offer me. Two of the greatest lessons are to be kinder to myself and to take my daughter's advice more often, as she is both kind and wise indeed.
Babies don't yet know how to hide their hearts and concoct masks. They are not afraid of looking stupid. They don't know judgment. What you see on a baby's face is the closest glimpse inside the human soul as possible.
Everyone has witnessed or experienced discordant expressions -- crying at a wedding, growling at the sight of a newborn baby, screaming in the presence of a teen idol. Are these inappropriate emotional expressions simply embarrassing aberrations? What psychological purpose could they serve?
As we all know modern life can be very stressful. With so many demands on our time, through juggling family, work and friends, it can be a little difficult to give ourselves the attention that we really need and deserve.
It's amazing what a lack of sleep will do to a person. I don't know about you, but no sleep for me equals psychopath. Well, psychopath is a bit strong of a word. I'll go with lunatic.
Parenting kids... man, it rocks you to the core. You think pushing them out is gonna be the hard part -- they call it labor for a reason. But that is a Disney cruise compared to the years that follow.
It's not for me to judge how you process any disappointment you may have experienced as a result of the narrow-minded approach to emotional health evidenced by that test. But when it comes to the emotional intelligence you evidenced by your quiz answer, you get an A+ in my book.
nd then I knew. She didn't need me to tell her it was going to be OK. Or to stop crying. Or to move on. She needed permission to feel it.
We all cry for different reasons. For some of us, it takes a tragedy to set us off. For others, a scene from "The Notebook" is enough to bring on the ...
My psychiatrist has told me I am a "person of integrity," and I am finally beginning to believe her. I can only conquer this race by continuing to take my meds and actively doing the hard work in therapy. The ups and downs will continue, and I have to simply roll with it.
I'm not claiming "No Biggy!" is foolproof, but it's definitely been an effective tool for everyone in our family. Sometimes, a little levity is all you need to change your perspective.
It was my third day of being a mother, and our first night home from the hospital. My husband, son and I were up at 2:00 a.m., all desperate to decode why he (the baby, not my husband) was crying so loudly and incessantly.
I randomly ducked into the Bank of America for a place to cry today and I am very happy I did. The ATM line was luckily very long so I hopped in and cried until it was my turn to use the machine (about 6 minutes). A very average, basic, no-frills, in and out place to cry.
Well, I am here to tell you real men do cry. All these voices from my past have broken ideas of what real men are.

After my second child was born, I couldn't deny that I had become what I previously thought was merely a sitcom-created mothering myth: a post-partum crier.
Almost immediately after I got the news, I made it crystal clear to my family that they were not to shed a tear -- at least not with me in the room. In reflecting on these questions, three examples of when my one and only rule was broken come to mind.
"We actually broke up." This is the inevitable response you will have to give for weeks, months, possibly even years after you and your significant other part ways.
Teaching children about their feelings -- to recognize them, to name them, to express them appropriately -- is an important part of being a parent.

Google Chrome, or Chrome, is a web browser software that tries to compete with major players, such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and even the Opera web browser. It is available for the Linux, Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X operating systems. But Google Chrome is more than a web browser, as it combines sophisticated open source technology, borrowed from the Chromium application, into a minimal design, all in order to help users surf the web much faster, a lot easier, and safer than ever before.
Features at a glance
A unique functionality of the Google Chrome application is its ability to search the web directly from the address bar. Just type one or more words in the address bar and immediately get suggestions for popular web pages. The application displays thumbnails of your top websites on the new tab page, a function that is popularly called Speed Dial. This functionality is also available on other similar products, and it allows you to easily access your favorite web pages instantly, with lightning speed, from any new tab.Comes with Private browsing mode
Private browsing is also a strong point of the Google Chrome web browser, enabling users to surf the Internet in an incognito window, when they don't want to save their browsing history, or if they're hiding from NSA (National Security Agency). Just like Mozilla Firefox, the Chrome web browser includes a handy cloud service, which allows you to safely and securely sync all of your passwords, browsing history, bookmarks, apps, extensions, autofill, themes, and opened tabs across multiple devices.Will never replace Mozilla Firefox
Because we heard such good things about it, we've tried a little experiment with the Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox products. We wanted to replace the powerful Mozilla Firefox web browser that we use on many computers here at Softpedia, with Google Chrome. Surprisingly, the Chrome browser proved to be a poor product for our needs, especially because it misses some important extensions that are currently available only on the Mozilla Firefox application, such as Clippings, Copy Plain Text, or InFormEnter.You should try Mozilla Firefox
These days, you can't avoid Google's web services. Whether you sign up for Gmail and Google+, or you just want to use its quite powerful office tools (yes, this short review is written in Google Documents), you may find you end up asking yourself, "Why not use Chrome?". The answer is simple, use Chrome if you just want to use Google's powerful services and nothing more. But if you want a serious web browser, you should try Mozilla Firefox.Google Chrome was reviewed by Marius Nestor, last updated on February 26th, 2015

Buffett, With Heinz Deal, Achieves 19th-Century Image of Robber Baron
In 2008, Berkshire provided key financing to Mars in its acquisition of Wrigley, a Chicago-based soap and baking products company known for its popular chewing gum that traces its history to 1891.
A November 2011 deal for newspaper conglomerate Omaha World-Herald indicates Buffett could have used ink, pulp and opinionated broadsheets to publish fiery screeds against the robber barons of a past day and age.
The $300 million deal for the Omaha World-Herald put a newspaper conglomerate that traces its heritage to the mid-1880s and a highly political editor, William Jennings Bryan, who opposed gold and the titans of early U.S. industry, within Berkshire's coffers.
Other recent Berkshire acquisitions would have never happened had target companies not survived the Great Depression or seen a business opportunity in its wake.
Berkshire's $9 billion deal for Lubrizol put a company in Buffett's growing portfolio of industrial businesses that was created just prior to the Wall Street crash of 1929. Lubrizol, founded in 1928, was incorporated to sell a graphite lubricant called Lubri-Graph. The company later expanded to a chemicals and materials behemoth that is a key supplier to the transportation and industrial sectors. Berkshire bought insurer Geico (Government Employees Insurance Co.) for $2.3 billion in 1995, taking control of a business that was created in the throes of the Great Depression to provide insurance to federal employees and enlisted military officers. In November, Berkshire paid $500 million for The Oriental Trading Co., a direct marketer of novelty products and toys founded in 1932. The company, formerly owned by private equity giant The Carlyle Group (CG), was one of the earliest wholesale companies in the U.S. Some deals even aim for the assets of titans of industry from a previous age, which blazed the trail for Berkshire's current diversified structure. In 2007, Berkshire bought a controlling stake in Marmon Group, a conglomerate spanning 125 businesses founded by Jay and Robert Pritzker, for $4.5 billion. Even when targeting stock investments, Berkshire and Buffett largely avoid younger startups. Consider that Berkshire's largest technological holding is IBM (IBM - Get Report), a present-day tech heavyweight that traces its history to 1911 and mechanical business machines. All told, Berkshire's $28 billion acquisition for H.J. Heinz may say as much about Buffett's long-term investing philosophy as it does about the Oracle's growing presence in the pantheon of American industry. While Buffett is unequivocally one of the titans of present-day U.S. business and finance, deals such as Berkshire's acquisition of Heinz indicate Buffett may be of a timeless breed. For more on Thursday's deal for Heinz, see how Berkshire used its 'elephant gun' for M&A. Also see why Wells Fargo, Berkshire's top bank stock holding, may be benefitting from its relationship with Warren Buffett. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York Follow @AntoineGaraCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

5 Stocks to Quench Your Portfolio's Thirst
Boston Beer
Boston Beer (SAM - Get Report) is a handcrafted beer brewer that manufactures its beer under the Sam Adams label. The U.S. craft beer market continues to expand in what is estimated in annual mid teen percentage rates. In the meantime, total domestic beer sales are flat to slightly lower. This is a trend which should continue for some time.
Boston Beer continues to expand across the country from its humble beginnings in Massachusetts. This expansion is not only in bottled form but also in draft form as craft beers are taking market share in all distribution channels. You might assume that beer giants such as Anheuser-Busch Ambev (BUD), Molson-Coors (TAP) and SABMiller would not be concerned by this smaller competition, which has a market cap of just about $1.4 billion.
Quite the opposite: Those suds makers are trying to develop their own handcrafted brands. It may come down to one of these larger companies making an unsolicited bid for Boston Beer one day. I would also not rule out an acquisition by a beverage or snack business such as Coca-Cola or PepsiCo. Recently, Boston Beer acquired Angel City Brewing, a privately held Los Angeles-based craft brewer. This is a strategically important acquisition as Boston Beer now has a West Coast base of operations to further catalyze its growth. The stock sports a premium multiple of nearly 24 time earnings when compared to more traditional beer companies. I believe that this is justified given the huge opportunity for growth that the company has, or the possibility of a takeover. I have a $120 price target on shares of Boston Beer for the end of 2012. However, as the stock tends to be quite volatile, I consider Boston Beer to be a high risk investment with excellent long term growth opportunities.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

After taking over from the shy and retiring Steve Ballmer, the decidedly more noisy Satya Nadella has had a calm first 100 days as Microsoft Corp chief executive.
But the word on the street is that he will hit his first rough patch next week when unveils the latest models of the tepidly received Surface tablet.
Shareholders have thought that Nadella's "mobile first, cloud first" strategy is a good start and when ever talked about the software maker as a "devices and services" company the share price rose.
But Microsoft is expected to unveil the third generation of its Surface devices and show off a smaller tablet, to address the fast-selling lower end of the market dominated by Apple's iPad mini, Amazon Kindle Fire, Google Nexus and Samsung's Galaxy range.
And this is where Nadella has a problem – Vole lacks the devices that can make a dent in the market. Vole's Surface, launched in October 2012, has only 2 percent of the market and the Surface tablet, while nice, was expensive.
If Nadella does make a smaller cheaper Surface, then he will get stick from those who think that Vole should still to the high end, even if that cunning plan had not worked. But the "expensive tablet" pundits point out there are signs that Microsoft's Surface Pro 2 is starting to attract Microsoft's core business customers as an Ultrabook replacement.
However, Nadella has his work cut out for him. ValueAct Capital led the shareholder revolt last year and has consistently lobbied against Microsoft's hardware effort, including its costly acquisition of Nokia's handset business.

Poems and Songs
By Leonard Cohen
(Everyman's Library, Hardcover, 9780307595836, 256pp.)
Publication Date: April 5, 2011
Shop Local
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
A magnificent selection of song lyrics and poems from across the storied career of one of the most daring and affecting poet-ongwriters in the world.
In the more than half century since his first book of poems was published, Leonard Cohen has evolved into an international cult figure who transcends genres and generations. This anthology contains a cross section of his five decades of influential work, including such legendary songs as "Suzanne," "Sisters of Mercy," "Bird on the Wire," "Famous Blue Raincoat," and "I'm Your Man" and searingly memorable poems from his many acclaimed poetry collections, including Flowers for Hitler, Beautiful Losers, and Death of a Lady's Man. Encompassing the erotic and the melancholy, the mystical and the sardonic, this volume showcases a writer of dazzling intelligence and live-wire emotional immediacy.
Leonard Cohen was born in 1934 in Montreal. He began his career publishing poetry and prose before recording his first album in 1967. He has published two novels, The Favourite Game and Beautiful Losers, and eleven books of poetry, most recently Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs, Book of Longing, and Leonard Cohen: Poems and Songs. He has to date made eighteen albums, the most recent of which, Old Ideas, was released in 2012. Cohen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010, and was awarded the Glenn Gould Prize in 2011.
