Martin Hanzal C PHO 1 Month
Hanzal underwent back surgery Tuesday, formally spelling ending his season, Craig Morgan of FOX Sports Arizona reports.Coach Dave Tippett said the procedure went well for Hanzal, who is expected to be fully healthy for the start of the 2015-16 campaign. The Coyotes already placed him on injured reserve last week.
Martin Hanzal C PHO 1 Month
Coyotes GM Don Maloney announced Thursday that Hanzal is dealing with a recurring back issue that will require surgery, likely ending his season, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports. "The likelihood of [Hanzal] returning this season is remote, but we do anticipate a full recovery," Maloney said.Hanzal spent most of the past summer rehabbing his back, but continued experience repeated setbacks once the season started, appearing in only 39 of the Coyotes' 55 games to date. Though the forward should be ready to go for the start of 2015-16, staying healthy has never been his forte, as he'll have missed at least 18 games due to injury in all but one of the last five seasons. If there's a silver lining for the Coyotes, it's that the absence of one of their top scorers in Hanzal (eight goals, 16 assists) the rest of the way will improve the team's chances of earning a high selection in a 2015 NHL Entry Draft brimming with talent.

Hanzal (upper body) was placed on injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Blackhawks.Hanzal hasn't played since Jan. 29 due to the injury and faces an uncertain return date. Once he gets a few practices in, he'll likely be activated by the Coytoes in short order. In the meantime, moving Hanzal to IR opens up a roster spot for an extra healthy player, should the Coyotes require one.

Coach Dave Tippett said Thursday that he expects Hanzal (upper body) to remain out for at least another week, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Repbulic reports.
The Coyotes had been considered Hanzal day-to-day in anticipation of his forthcoming return to practice, but he failed to progress as quickly as the team had thought. As a result, Tippett said Hanzal would be subjected to more tests and reevaluated at some point next week to see how he's come along at that time. He could be transferred to injured reserve if the Coyotes decide to recall an extra skater in the near future.

Hanzal (upper body) is not progressing from his injury and is still considered day-to-day, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
Hanzal was already questionable to return for Tuesday's contest against the Blue Jackets, but the news that his upper body injury isn't getting any better suggests he could be forced out of action for a third straight game. If he is unable to return by Tuesday, his next chance to return to the lineup will be on Thursday against the Hurricanes.

Hanzal won't play Sunday against the Canadiens, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
Hanzal was considered questionable coming into the contest with an upper-body injury, but it appears he will require at least a couple more days off. His next chance to return to the lineup will come Tuesday against the Blue Jackets.

The Coyotes announced prior to Saturday's game against the Senators that Hanzal is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
Hanzal's injury was deemed "minor" by coach Dave Tippett on Friday, and the day-to-day designation would seem to verify that's indeed the case. The Coyotes will check in on his condition Sunday morning before deciding if he'll be available for the matinee with the Canadiens.

Hanzal (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's game against the Senators, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
Hanzal was held out of Friday's practice for what was believed to be maintenance-related reasons, but it looks like he's dealing with a legitimate injury. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Brandon McMillan and should be considered day-to-day at this time, making him questionable to play Sunday in Montreal. Hanzal has eight goals and 24 points in 37 games this season.
Martin Hanzal C PHO 2 Months
Hanzal missed Friday's practice with an undisclosed injury, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
Coach Dave Tippett referred to Hanzal's ailment as a "minor issue," and anticipates that the forward will be available for Saturday's game in Ottawa. Hanzal, who tallied a goal and fired off six shots attempts in Thursday's win over the Leafs, should have his status for Saturday's game validated following the Coyotes' morning skate.
Martin Hanzal C PHO 2 Months
Hanzal picked up his eighth goal of the season Thursday in a win over Toronto. He was plus-1 with six shots and three hits in the contest.
Coming off his first 40-point season, Hanzal has disappointed this year, but it has largely been due once again to his inability to stay on the ice. His point per game rate this season is that of a 50-point player, but as has been the case in almost every season of his career he has missed more than 10 games this season and it impedes his production.

The present invention relates to the field of general maintenance.
Many industrial, commercial, and household applications require the breaking up of relatively large objects into smaller pieces. This reduction process is variously referred to as cutting, chipping, shredding, mulching, or grinding, depending in part on the size of the end product. Cutting and chipping are historically accomplished by chippers using relatively few chipper knives mounted directly onto a rotating disc and a bed knife. The chippers can produce pieces ranging up to about � to 1� inches in size.
One of the major issues with respect to the design of such devices is maintenance. Maintenance and adjustment of chipper and bed knives can be extremely cumbersome. In many chippers, a team of two men is required to change the chipper knives, by working through holes in the side of the chipper body. Long feeler gauges must be used to adjust the gap between the chipper knives and the bed knives.
Another issue is the design and maintenance of the feed rollers. Traditionally, dirt and trash are carried into the chipper with the in-feeding of the brush and wood. The dirt usually falls into the lower feed roller. If not cleaned out, the dirt will lock up the feed roller such that it cannot rotate. In addition, the chipper knives are mounted to the rotating disc, usually, using � inch size Allen bolts with flat head sockets and a nut. The holes for the Allen bolts are exposed to the feed material and are easily plugged with debris. The debris strips out the holes making it difficult to change the knives.
To access these various components and areas, some manufacturers of the disk-style machines often hinge the upper half or quarter of the chipper body to service the knives. Such machines include the Model 1230 Chipper manufactured by Vermeer and the Model 90 Brush Bandit manufactured by Bandit. The bed knife, however, remains difficult to adjust. Some other manufacturers such as Carlenburg for Mittsonmurrel Drum Machines and Gravely Disk Chippers facilitate the servicing of knives by hinging the feed hopper or sliding the upper feed roller vertically in a slide with weights or spring down pressure. In many of these systems, replacing the feed rollers requires one to crawl inside the machine and awkwardly perform the replacement. Morey, U.S. Pat. No. 5,005,620 discloses an upper feed roller pivoted from the chipper drum centerline (called the pivoted down stream). Houston, U.S. Pat. No. 4,390,132 discloses a trailing arm that is pivoted from a point above the feed path. A hydraulic cylinder and a compression spring force the engagement with the tree (feed stock). To reduce the frequency of required access, most manufacturers of chippers with lower feed rollers simply place an auxiliary frame or compartment that traps the dirt and debris.
The present invention is directed, in a first aspect, to a brush chipper in which access to frequently maintained areas of the chipper is facilitated. According to the one embodiment of the invention, the chipper comprises a chipper-knife assembly, a feed-roller assembly, and a sliding apparatus that permits a part or the whole feed-roller assembly to move away from the chipper-knife assembly. This sliding apparatus preferably includes at least one track and at least one friction-reducing apparatus such as a sliding roller or a bearing.
Another aspect of the invention is directed to a mounting for the chipper-knife assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the chipper-knife assembly comprises a knife with at least one threaded opening attached to a support. To attach the knife, a bolt passes through the support to thread into the knife. The bolt can include a head and a stem, and the support is positioned between the knife and the head of the bolt.
These and other aspects of the present invention will become better understood through a consideration of the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagram of an exploded perspective view of a chipper disc and attachments according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a diagram of a close-up side view of a chipper-knife section attached to the disc of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a diagram of an exploded view of a chipper-housing assembly for a disk chipper such as that depicted in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a diagram of an exploded perspective view of an upper feed-roller arm and housing weldment according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a diagram of a side view of a brush chipper according to one embodiment of the present invention where the chipper housing is separated from the feed-roller housing.
FIG. 6 is a diagram of a side view of a brush chipper according to one embodiment of the present invention where the chipper housing is adjacent to the feed-roller housing.
FIG. 7 is a diagram of a close-up section view of a sliding apparatus used for separating the feed-roller housing from the chipper housing assembly.
FIG. 8 is a diagram of a close-up perspective view of a brush where the chipper-knife assembly is inside the chipper housing assembly and is separated from the feed-roller housing.
FIG. 1 shows a disc 2 with knife channels 4, and chipper knives 6, fan assemblies 8, and pulley belt drive 10 attached to the disc 2. The disc 2 is preferably about 42″ in diameter, 2″ thick, comprised of A-36 steel, and is made to rotate about an axle 12 at about 1100 rotations per minute (rpm) by a motor (not shown) attached to the pulley belt drive 10. Knife channels 4 communicate across the disc 2, thereby permitting chips and debris to pass through the disc 2 and out of a discharge tube 76 (See FIG. 5).
Each fan assembly 8 shown in FIG. 1 preferably includes a base 14, a fan blade 16 and a fence 18. Bases 14 are attached to the disc 2 with bolts 20 and lock nuts 22. Each fan blade 8 is preferably attached to the disc 2 through one of the bases 14 and are preferably oriented approximately twelve degrees off radial with respect to the axle 12 to encourage radial air flow. The fences 18 assist in holding air and light material to the fan blades 16 and further encourage radial airflow. A preferred embodiment has four fan assemblies 8, but fewer or greater number of fan assemblies 8 can also be accommodated on the disc 2.
In FIGS. 1 and 2, chipper knives 6 are positioned as an assembly of components on the disc 2. Each chipper knife 6 preferably has two cutting edges to make them reversible. Each chipper knife 6 is preferably manufactured to be expendable or disposable such that once both edges are dulled, it is easily replaced. Chipper knives 6 are preferably attached to the disc 2 by bolts 26 and lock washers 27. Each bolt 26 is made up of a head 28, preferably a �″ hex head and a threaded stem 29. The bolts 26 hold the knives 6 by passing through the disc 2 from the backside of the disc 2 to thread into the knives 6. Each knife 6 includes at least one threaded opening 31 for inserting with a bolt 26. Preferably, the threaded openings 31 are located in a middle section of the knives 6. Thus, the chipper knives 6 are effectively positioned on a side of the disc 2, which supports the knives 6. Likewise, the bed knife 34 includes at least one threaded opening for inserting a bolt 40. The bolt is threaded through the bed knife 34 from the back side of a bed knife holder 36 or other support.
In this type of construction, the heads of the bolts 40, 26 are neither directly exposed nor impacted with the debris. This effectively prevents stripping out the hexagon-shape head of the bolts 40, 26 making the knives 6 easy to replace.
FIG. 3 shows the chipper housing assembly that houses the disc 2 and the chipper-knives assembly. This chipper housing assembly includes the housing for the disc 2, an attached lower feed roller 32, and the bed knife 34. The housing is constructed in two sections, a cover weldment 38 and a body weldment 30. Integrated into the body weldment 30 is a bed knife holder 36. The bed knife 34 is then secured to the holder 36 with bolts 40 as shown in both FIGS. 2 and 3. The bed knife 34 is adjusted to preferably have a 0.090-inch gap between it 34 and the closest chipper knife 6 on the disc 2. Integral to the body weldment 30 is a lower feed roller chamber 42. During rotation of the disc 2, the fan blades 8 of the disc 2 vacuum trash and debris into the disc housing section of the body weldment 30 that enters the lower feed roller chamber 42. Because of the integrated design of the body weldment 30 and the lower feed roller chamber 42, the vacuuming of the lower feed roller chamber 42 preferably takes place through the opening 43 in the disc housing.
The lower feed roller 32 reduces the friction of the incoming wood and brush, which drop loose debris. The debris then passes through the opening 43 in the disc housing to be blown out of the discharge tube 76 (See FIG. 5) by the fan blades 8 on the revolving disc 2. The lower feed roller 32 is held in place by bearings 44 attached to the lower feed roller chamber 42. The lower feed roller 32 preferably has an 8-inch diameter and is 14inches wide. Preferably, a 1� inch diameter shaft 46 extending beyond the lower feedroller's width and providing the bearings' point of support and rotation for the lower feed roller 32, is integrated with the roller 32 itself. The lower feed roller 32 is thereby supported within the chamber 42 for rotation about a generally horizontal axis. The lower feed roller 32 preferably includes rows of low profile cleats 48 running along its width. Moreover, the lower feed roller 32 is preferably mounted close to the bed knife 34 and the disc 2. Finally, lower feed roller 32 is preferably powered by a 16 cubic inch at 6,329 in.-lbs. torque hydraulic motor 50 allowing for reverse or forward rotation.
FIG. 4 depicts an embodiment of a assembly for the upper feed roller 52. The upper and lower feed rollers 52, 32 receive the input material from the in-feed hopper 72. (See FIG. 5.) The assembly includes an upper feed roller 52, an upper feed roller shaft 54, an upper feed roll weldment 56, a trailing arms assembly 58, and hydraulic motor 60. The upper feed roller 52 is positioned above the lower feed roller 32 and is rotatably supported by the trailing arm assembly 58. The pivot points 61 for the upper feed roller 52 on the arm assembly 58 are on the sides of the weldment 56. Bearings 70 provide support to the trailing arm assembly 58 allowing for pivoting of the assembly 58 and upper feed roller 52. The arms' length of the trailing arm assembly 58 and its pivot point are positioned so as to insure a ratchet-type action when the roller 52 is in operation. This ratchet-type action naturally increases the bite down pressure on in-feeding wood and debris. The upper feed roller 52 preferably has the same 14-inch width as the lower feed roller 32, and preferably has a diameter of 12 inches. Rather than cleats 48, the upper feed roller 52 has preferably ten sharpened blades 62, each having the same width as the roller 52 itself. The shaft 54 of the upper feed roller 52 preferably has a length that exceeds the width of the upper feed roller 52. The shaft 54 runs through the center of the upper feed roller 52, and is attached to the upper feed roller 52 with nuts 64 and bolts 66. The upper feed roll weldment 56 covers the upper feed roller 52 and provides a track 68 for movement of the upper feed roller 52 caused by the pivoting of the trailing arms assembly 58. The upper feed roller 52 is preferably independently powered by a 28 cubic inch at 11,269 in.-lbs. torque hydraulic motor 60 allowing for forward or reverse rotation. A feed-roller housing 69 houses the upper feed-roller assembly.
FIG. 5 shows a side-view drawing of the brush chipper with the feed-roller housing 69 containing the upper feed roller 52 assembly slid away and separated from the chipper housing assembly. Because of a sliding apparatus mounted underneath the feed roller housing, one person may easily separate the feed-roller housing 69 from the chipper housing assembly. Once separated, the chipper knives 6, the bed knife 34, the knife holders 24, the upper and lower feed rollers 52, 32 are easily accessed for adjustment or replacement. (See FIG. 8) To operate the brush chipper, the user then slides the feed roller housing back adjacent to the chipper housing assembly as in FIG. 6. Locks and safety switches, which are already known in the art, may also be employed to ensure that the feed-roller housing does not slide open during operation or that the brush chipper engine shuts off when the feed-roller housing is slid open.
The sliding apparatus preferably comprises a set of parallel tracks or guides and a friction-reducing apparatus underneath the feed-roller housing 69. FIGS. 7 and 8 depict one embodiment of a sliding apparatus using a track and roller system. The track and roller system includes two parallel tracks 80 running from the chipper housing assembly and underneath the feed-roller housing. Sliding rollers 82, preferably numbering four with two rollers on each side of a metal plate 86, are screwed onto the side bars 84 of the metal plate 86 and roll along the grooves 88 provided inside the tracks 80. The metal plate 86 attaches to the underside of the feed-roller housing such that the feed-roller housing rolls toward or away from the chipper housing. The sliding rollers 82, alternatively, are designed as bearings instead. It is understood that the track or guide and the friction-reducing apparatus can be interchangeably located underneath the feed-roller housing.
While specific embodiments of this invention have been disclosed and described, it would be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention can be modified in arrangement and detail without departing from such principles. As such it should be recognized that the detailed embodiment is illustrative only and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention. Rather, the invention is not to be restricted except within the scope and spirit of the following claims and equivalents thereto.

The European Stability Mechanism, the region's permanent rescue fund, is poised to launch this summer. Italian officials called for increasing its size, but German officials rejected the idea. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said that before the fund can be increased, Europe must implement previously agreed upon steps. "We will stick to the agreement reached by the leaders in December and then see again in March if that is sufficient," Schaeuble said

Study: Obama's Proposed Minimum Wage Hike Will Kill 30% of Puerto Rico's Private Sector Jobs
Some might think Obama believes this won't happen and people will benefit from a "living wage."
Me? I think
According to: an analysis: of the Cato report by Frank Worley-Lopez, Puerto Rico has about 700,000 private sector jobs and 285,000 government jobs. Those holding 471,000 of the private sector jobs make below Obama's $10.10 minimum wage proposal.
Worley-Lopez, the first state chairman of the Libertarian Party of Puerto Rico, writes that the Cato study says an estimated 193,610 to 203,031 Puerto Ricans would lose their jobs if the minimum wage were raised to Obama's desired $10.10. That works out to about 30%.
You can't have fundamental change is everyone has a job and is happy.
You need strife to have a revolution.
Think I'm wrong? : Tell me about it in the comments.

Does long-term swimming participation have a deleterious effect on the adult female skeleton?
ABSTRACT Swimming is a popular activity for Australian women with proven cardiovascular benefits yet lacks the features thought necessary to stimulate positive adaptive changes in bone. Given that peak bone mass is attained close to the end of the second decade, we asked whether swimming was negatively associated with bone mineral density in premenopausal women beyond this age. Bone mass and retrospective physical activity data were gathered from 43 female swimmers and 44 controls (mean ages 40.4 and 43.8 years, respectively). Swimmers were recruited from the Australian Union of Senior Swimmers International while controls were healthy community dwellers with similar lean mass, fat mass, height, weight and body mass index. None of the participants had a history of medical complaints nor use of medications known to affect bone. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to determine areal bone mineral density at total body, lumbar spine, proximal femur, distal radius and tibia while self-administered questionnaires were used to approximate historical and recent physical activity and calcium intake. Swimmers had averaged over 2 hours of swimming per week for the past 5 years and 1.45 h/week over lifetime with no systematic swimming exposure for controls. Lifetime exposure to weight bearing and impact exercise were similar. There were no intergroup differences for bone mass at any site though controls had higher incidence of low bone mass/osteoporosis. No differences in bone mass were detected between swimmers in the upper and lower quartiles for swim participation for any period. Long-term swim participation did not compromise areal bone mineral density.
Article: Effect of Whole-Body Vibration Therapy on Health-Related Physical Fitness in Children and Adolescents With Disabilities: A Systematic Review[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Purpose To summarize the current literature regarding the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) therapy on the health-related physical fitness of children and adolescents with disabilities. Methods A literature search using MEDLINE–PubMed, SPORT DISCUS, and EMBASE databases was conducted up to August 2013. A total of 22 articles were included in this review (eight randomized controlled trials, four non–randomized controlled trials, three case reports, and seven reviews). Results Most of the studies showed positive effects of WBV on health-related physical fitness in children and adolescents with disabilities. Overall, 10–20 minutes at least three times per week, for a minimum of 26 weeks, with high frequency (between 15 and 35 Hz) and low amplitude (no more than 4 mm of peak-to-peak displacement) might be an appropriate protocol to achieve improvement in body composition and muscular strength. Conclusions Because no serious adverse events have been observed, WBV might be defined as a safe treatment to be applied in children and adolescents with disabling conditions. Further research is recommended to explore the minimum dose of exposure to WBV required to elicit an optimal response in children and adolescents for improving health-related physical fitness. These may be translated into a more specific WBV protocol.Journal of Adolescent Health 04/2014; DOI:10.1016/j.jadohealth.2013.11.001 · 2.75 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Swimming, a sport practiced in hypogravity, has sometimes been associated with decreased bone mass. This systematic review aims to summarize and update present knowledge about the effects of swimming on bone mass, structure and metabolism in order to ascertain the effects of this sport on bone tissue. A literature search was conducted up to April 2013. A total of 64 studies focusing on swimmers bone mass, structure and metabolism met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. It has been generally observed that swimmers present lower bone mineral density than athletes who practise high impact sports and similar values when compared to sedentary controls. However, swimmers have a higher bone turnover than controls resulting in a different structure which in turn results in higher resistance to fracture indexes. Nevertheless, swimming may become highly beneficial regarding bone mass in later stages of life. Swimming does not seem to negatively affect bone mass, although it may not be one of the best sports to be practised in order to increase this parameter, due to the hypogravity and lack of impact characteristic of this sport. Most of the studies included in this review showed similar bone mineral density values in swimmers and sedentary controls. However, swimmers present a higher bone turnover than sedentary controls that may result in a stronger structure and consequently in a stronger bone.PLoS ONE 08/2013; 8(8):e70119.

Coalfire has launched HIPAAcentral, a new compliance exchange that provides a comprehensive suite of services for covered entities and business associates and their subcontractors to manage, maintain and exchange healthcare regulatory compliance data.
"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is now actively monitoring and enforcing the HIPAA Omnibus Rule, and too many healthcare firms aren't prepared," said Rick Dakin, CEO and co-founder of Coalfire. "HIPAAcentral is closing that gap by enabling subscribers to securely exchange and verify compliance status."
HIPAAcentral simplifies compliance management by providing vendor risk management tools, training, templates, and third-party validation services, plus an online compliance registry and knowledge exchange. The service, which is available by subscription to both covered entities (CEs) and business associates (BAs), utilizes standardized criteria for compliance validation and actively monitors vendor compliance via automated notifications, workflow management and expert support.
As of Sept. 23, 2013, all covered entities, business associates and their subcontractors were required to be in compliance with the HIPAA Omnibus Rule, and are now facing increased financial and criminal penalties for non-compliance. A survey conducted by Coalfire in September found that a majority of business associates reported being somewhat or completely unaware of their new responsibilities under the Omnibus Rule, and fewer than half of business associates reported being compliant.
The HIPAAcentral platform was developed with input from both the covered entity and business associate communities, and provides a secure, business-to-business network with access to training, templates, white papers, alerts and other resources to track the complex and constantly changing security and compliance landscape. The platform is based on industry frameworks such as NIST 800-66, and the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) audit protocol to meet the requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule, as well as the IT security-related requirements of the HITECH and the Omnibus Rule.
"The HIPAAcentral platform provides a game-changing solution for the healthcare industry, combining expert GRC capabilities, industry resources, education, and a community, business-to-business network," continued Dakin. "HIPAAcentral dramatically reduces the risks and barriers to compliance and provides a simplified path to security and compliance with increased efficiencies and decreased costs."
HIPAAcentral also provides for easy access to a full complement of Coalfire and third-party GRC services to meet security and compliance needs, and registered users are eligible to receive a discount for a Coalfire compliance assessment.
Learn more about HIPAAcentral by visiting www.hipaacentral.com.
Coalfire is a recognized leader in IT compliance with more than 4,000 assessments, including hundreds for healthcare-related organizations. Coalfire's expertise in HIPAA/HITECH compliance extends beyond healthcare providers to include associated financial institutions and service providers that fall under the newly implemented regulations as part of the current healthcare reform.

After lamb shanks (in Morrocan inspired sauce, falling off the bone) the passion fruit creme brulee was served with a raspberry sorbet - the contrasting flavours played beautifully against each other. To me, a well prepared creme brulee is absolute and undeniable perfection.

What a fantastic first day!
After a breakfast of freshly baked croissant, aromatic French cheese and saucisson, we dove right into making a praline pastry cream.

An offer you can't refuse.
Review written by
Zach DeNardi
After seeing my sister play "The Godfather" for her PS2, I was instantly interested in the game, not to mention I'm a huge fan of the movies. The game itself is the basic gameplay that you can get on the other consoles, but it's for Nintendo. Let that sink in. Mobster violence in a Nintendo game. That sunk in yet? Alrght good.
You play as an uprising outsider of the Family and then you can move up the ranks by doing missions and making money. Basically a GTA clone, but it's a good one.
If you are a fan of the movie, you will not be disappointed with any of the characters and voices, except for Michael. Apparently they did not get Al signed to the project. Whatever.
The wii controls are basic, but still a blast, making your character beat a guy with a bat with a flick of your wrist never gets tiring. After half way through the game, it can get repetitive, the mobsters all start to look alike and so do the rackets, but that's the only problem I have with the game.
You have the wii, this is a must buy, you won't regret it, some of the reviews just do not give it justice.

Rear Adm. Robert Day, the Coast Guard's Cyber Command commander and CIO, stresses that agencies must physically rehearse their contingency plans -- repeatedly.
If federal IT managers have practiced their disaster recovery plans and their staffs know how to improvise, agencies may not be completely crippled by the potentially devastating cyber "Pearl Harbor" that former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta ominously predicts could be lurking.
That was the message several current federal CIOs conveyed at a March 11 panel discussion on continuity of operations at Symantec's Government Symposium. In a keynote speech before the panel discussion, Panetta reiterated his October "Cyber Pearl Harbor" warning in light of growing tensions with Russia, competition with China and a restive world stage.
In his symposium speech, Panetta dubbed cyberwar "the most serious 21st century threat." Hurricane Sandy, he said, demonstrated some of the ruinous effects on infrastructure that a cyberattack might inflict.
In the face of such danger, federal agencies not only must have a disaster plan, but they should physically rehearse it -- repeatedly, said Rear Adm. Robert Day, the Coast Guard's Cyber Command commander and CIO.
Without practice, he said, plans rot on the shelf or fail in the face of real-life events. With increasing cybercrime, natural disasters and other potentially catastrophic events in the wings, not to mention local tech snags and outages, Day said the Internet and networks are more imperiled than ever. Even without a dramatic event, he said, federal agencies' network facilities eventually "will go down" because of some weakness, such as a router failure or other snafu.
In the end, natural disaster or cyberattack results are the same, Day said, with network facilities that don't work. It's then that an agency's plans had better be up to date and well-rehearsed. "We see so few organizations doing that."
Co-panelists Wolfe Tombe, chief technology officer at Customs and Border Protection, and John Dobriansky, executive advisor at the Federal Aviation Administration, agreed. All three noted substantial network outages at their agencies in the last few years.
Tombe said a local CBP router network outage at Los Angeles International Airport a few years ago that lasted an hour or so, causing a 17,000 passenger back-up at security lines, as well as air traffic delays because passenger manifest lists could not be checked. CBP officers, he said, improvised and used their cell phones to exchange information. Day noted Hurricane Sandy made the Coast Guard use its fallback servers in West Virginia linked to small aperture terminals set up in the disaster zone to continue emergency radio communications in the stricken mid-Atlantic area after the storm surge shorted out the telephone network. And Dobriansky said a 2012 fire at an FAA facility in New Jersey forced the agency to transfer some of its air traffic control to another facility in Melbourne, Fla. The outage lasted two weeks, he said.
In those instances, the disruption showed not only the weaknesses but also the strengths of their network disaster recovery plans. Day noted the importance of lower-tech workarounds that might be overlooked in such situations, especially by younger workers familiar only with the online world. "Young workers won't know how to do it," he said. "It makes me stamp my feet. Younger workers don't know what a fax machine is."
Day also noted that younger workers can also have ideas that older workers might overlook. After the earthquake that shook the middle-Atlantic states and Washington, D.C., in 2011, younger federal workers milling around on the mall in the aftershocks texted their colleagues rather than trying voice. "They knew that data was working and voice wasn't," he said.
Day and Tombe said they perform regional and local drills of disaster recovery plans regularly. In Day's case, those exercises come just before hurricane season. "We do a data center fail over, forcing things onto our disaster recovery site. At the local end we do a once-a-year drill. Each sector physically re-establishes itself at its disaster recovery site." That means people physically pick up their gear and move hundreds, or even thousands, of miles to the alternate site.
Day recommended that IT managers file their most critical data and information on a disk or two and put those disks in their "go-bags."
"I can't tell you how many times I've heard 'I didn't think of that,'" he said.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Milford Sound Mariner Overnight Cruise from Te Anau. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
The tour was a fantastic experience. Great crew who looked after our every need. Good food and wine in the evening. The sleeping quarters were a good size and being at the bottom of the boat meant a gentle rocking that put us to sleep nicely. Time frames around the activities were well planned. The morning was the highlight when we were taken towards the entrance with the weather adding to the experience. All the rain had the sides of the sound alive with falling water. Bruce and Donna Thomas Mandurah WA
Brilliant. Excellent tour. Lots to see, good food and well looked after by a great crew.
Great having dolphins swimming alongside for 30 minutes too. Could have reached out and touched them.
Thoroughly recommend!
Our trip on the Milford Mariner overnight cruise was magical from start to finish.
The crew on board were so helpful, nothing was a bother. The cabin was very good and the food terrific.
This would have to be the best part of our recent South Island trip. I would recommend this overnight cruise to anyone.
This was a highlight of our trip. cabins great, staff great, food beautiful, Milford Sound is just an amazing place.
This trip was more than we could ever have imagined. We had a fantastic time. The scenery, the food, the wine and the staff were outstanding. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone!
Absolutely fantastic- the highlight of our trip to New Zealand- the bus ride to Milford Sound was incredible ( glad we decided not to drive ourselves), great views and excellent commentary. Overnight on the Mariner was excellent- delicious food, comfortable cabins and the commentary from staff was knowledgable and very entertaining. I will never forget our trip to Milford sound- surely one of the wonders of the world.
Overall the experience was wonderful but was mislead into believing it was 2 days. However, the cruise wasn't even 1 day as it began at 4.00pm and ended at 9.00am the next morning. The worst thing was that we let the supplier know we were celebrating our 34th Wedding Anniversary and they appointed us to Cabin 1 which was the worst cabin on the whole boat. It was right next to the engine room on the bottom level. After much insistence on being moved, an attendant managed to move us to another cabin on the same level but it had single beds. This was really disappointing but I guess we got some sleep not being right next to the engine room.
