|To-do list for Festival:
I'm trying to figure out what to add to this article. Here are some ideas.
- History - how festivals have changed over time and how they've remained the same
- Function/significance -
- Types - i'm not sure how we should do this section. it'd have to be somewhat general, b/c there are too many individual types
- state the relation to religion and seasonal change as they play a large role in ancient festivals (in history section)?
If anyone has any comments or reliable references (web sites or books), let me know. Gflores Talk 07:55, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Some types:
- Seasonal- lunar, solar included too, harvest
- Religious- Some might over lap wiht seasonal, like Easter
- Fun, holidays- Some overlap also. Mardi Gras is supposed to be a Christian celebration before lent, but now is mostly for fun.
- Halloween may also fall into the category in which it's purpose has changed over time.
I have the feeling most festivals used to be religious or have a connection to a solar or lunar calender (some religions have a connect to lunar or solar events), but in more modern times festivals have come up to just have fun or to share ideas. This is a very uneducated guess. --Banana04131 21:31, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I think feast should be merged here. That page, a stub, seems to refer to festivals. What do you guys think? Comments? Gflores Talk 02:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- yes --Banana04131 03:53, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- did --Banana04131 04:07, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
I couldn't follow this sentence:
Festivals, of many types, serve to meet specific cock faces needs and penis heads, as well as to provide entertainment. [emphasis added] 04:13, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
New definition needed[edit]
At present the definition reads: "A festival is an event, usually and ordinarily staged by a local community, which centers on and celebrates some unique aspect of that community." This is the same definition as in Wikitionary, but is narrower than is used for most of the rest of the article. There is a broader definition at http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/festival but I do not know the proper way of putting this in the article.FrankSier (talk) 23:56, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
lead section[edit]
Could someone edit out the American line about "For a list of festivals in the USA, please see List of festivals in the United States." There is a 'list of' section below and English wikipedia is not American wikipedia. Tnx. --Zangvill (talk) 13:44, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Well thought out and very interesting displays. A lot of local history and information about the locality
This is a lovely informative and well laid out museum. The staff are friendly and informative. The exhibits are very well positioned and labelled and its an excellent place to learn about Newrys History.
Firstly one must congratulate the local council for such an inspiring facility. The artifacts and display generally covers the Newry and South Down history but also extends to the whole country. The museum is well laid out and the staff is very helpful. The museum affords one the opportunity to appreciate life in Newry in yesterday year.
I have attached...
Very well laid out museum with lots to see and do. I have family history in Newry and it was nice to chat to local staff who could help with some place names.
Next year I will be booking some time to do some research
Very well laid out and design is excellent. Great insight into the local area, a must for all historians and interest in South Down!
lovely place to visit, friendly staff, great exhibitions, good facilities brouchers available on other attractions in area
from the time before recorded history to the medieval days when the site of the museum was the site of a castle up through nineteenth century prosperity as a trading port to the Troubles of being a border town in the twentieh century, this museum does a fine job of sharing the history of the region. there's a small gallery...
This little museum is a great place to visit if you have a little bit of time to kill in Newry.
We visited with my wife's grandparents and were very impressed with the museum staff. It was very quiet, and one of the members of staff gave us more or less a guided tour of the entire place.
The exhibits...
This is an excellent museum housed in the recently discovered late medievil castle of Lord Bagnall. It gives an excellent history of the local area going back to stone age times right up the Troubles and the peace process. The rooms and exhibitions are tastefully laid out with good lighting and maps and photographs. The section dealing partition is particularly...
Really loved the museum, went in for tourist information and would have left disappointed as the receptionist (Adele?) ignored me but the museum person who came to my rescue was great and helped with my enquiry and then sent me around the brilliant exhibit.

- Neuroprotective effects of vildagliptin in rat rotenone Parkinson's disease model: role of RAGE-NFκB and Nrf2-antioxidant signaling pathways
Rania M. Abdelsalam and Marwa M. Safar
Article first published online: 26 MAR 2015 | DOI: 10.1111/jnc.13087
In the rat rotenone model of Parkinson's disease (PD), striatal RAGE/NFκB signaling was up-regulated associated with elevated levels of inflammatory, oxidative stress, and apoptotic mediators resulting in dopaminergic neurons death and hence motor impairment. Vildagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitor, blocked the RAGE/NFκB cascade exerting a potential antiparkinsonian effect. RAGE, receptor for advanced glycation end product; NFκB, nuclear factor κB; TNFα, tumor necrosis factor alpha; ICAM, intracellular adhesion molecule; iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; MPO, myeloperoxidase.
- The intracellular domain of L1CAM binds to casein kinase 2α and is neuroprotective via inhibition of the tumor suppressors PTEN and p53
Yan Wang and Melitta Schachner
Article first published online: 25 MAR 2015 | DOI: 10.1111/jnc.13083
L1CAM (L1 cell adhesion molecule) is implicated in neural functions through the cognate src/MAP kinase signaling pathway. We now describe a novel signaling platform operating via the alpha subunit of casein kinase 2 which binds to the intracellular domain of L1. Knockdown of L1CAM leads to increased levels of tumor suppressor PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) and p53, known to inhibit neuritogenesis in vitro and recovery from trauma in vivo. By activating this enzyme, L1CAM adds to its beneficial functions by decreasing the levels of PTEN and p53.
- Receptive range analysis of a mouse odorant receptor subfamily
Jingyi Li, Rafi Haddad, Vanessa Santos, Selvan Bavan and Charles W. Luetje
Article first published online: 25 MAR 2015 | DOI: 10.1111/jnc.13095
We screened a small group of mouse odorant receptors (MORs) with a diverse odorant panel to identify a new odorant-OR pairing (unsaturated aldehydes and MOR263-3), then extensively screened a series of additional MORs related to MOR263-3 in various ways. MORs related by phylogenetic analysis had odorant specificities that overlapped with that of MOR263-3, but MOR171-17, predicted to be functionally related to MOR263-3 by an alternative bioinformatic analysis, had a distinct odorant specificity.
- Estrogen-related receptor gamma regulates dopaminergic neuronal phenotype by activating GSK3β/NFAT signaling in SH-SY5Y cells
Juhee Lim, Hueng-Sik Choi and Hyun Jin Choi
Article first published online: 25 MAR 2015 | DOI: 10.1111/jnc.13085
We propose the relevance of estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ) in regulating dopaminergic neuronal phenotype: ERRγ is up-regulated by retinoic acid in SH-SY5Y cells, and enhances dopaminergic phenotypes and induces neurite outgrowth; Polo-like kinase 2 (PLK2) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta/nuclear factor of activated T cells (GSK3β/NFAT) signaling are responsible for the ERRγ effect. Our findings provide the first insights into the role of ERRγ in the brain, as a novel approach toward understanding dopaminergic differentiation.

I'm thinking of you this morning upon reading your post in the other thread.
I don't really know what to say other than I wish you all the best and am sending thoughts and prayers your way in what must be a very difficult decision for you. May you find peace and happiness in your life and future.
Thanks JMT.
It was a long process of making excuses because STBeXDH has so many great qualities. I didn't want to admit I made a mistake in my choice of a husband. I didn't want to face the reality that I have known for a long time. The final realization came last week when SD told on me (because I told her not to do something) and of course she twisted what I said & instead of trying to talk to me or ask me, he "confronted" me... and the light bulb went off that now I am defending myself to him over something that was trivial. I've had enough. It's my home & he forced my kids out (not really against my wishes because they are adults & need to be on their own, but he forced the issue & even had his brother serve my son an eviction notice) but then to side up with STBeXSD & put me on the defensive in my own home when he knows she lies all the time, made me realize that is not what a marriage is & he isn't going to change. I am actually at peace with it already & look forward to having my life back.
Unfortunately, his parents don't seem to want him back. I assumed he would move in with them until he could find a place but he is still living in my house for this week. He says he found a room mate & is moving out next weekend. SD is there this weekend & I suggested to him that he might give her some boxes to pack up her room so when he moves out next weekend, it will be easier. She goes to her mom for the summer tomorrow (Sunday) and will be gone all week. He gets her again next weekend & I assumed he'd take her to wherever he is moving to. Well, last night he told me that he & his friend (a guy he works with that is going through a divorce & currently lives with his parents) haven't actually found a place but they are looking. He told me she will be back in her room next weekend so he doesn't want to pack it up. I'm trying to be the bigger person here & he's making it easy. He is being petty... asking me to replace fuel in the Jaguar (that he is keeping) because I drove it last week. Asking me to continue to make the payment because he can't take me off the health insurance until open enrollment (which is before the divorce will be final)... and he's doing what he does best, nit picking. I've agreed to everything, I just want him to leave & take his child with him. The thought of her coming back next weekend (even to help him move) stresses me out. She has what she thinks she wants... she won, or so she thinks. I know that I am the winner because I won't have to deal with this anymore. But push may come to shove if he tries to bring her back here next week! and if he tries to linger more than a week.
"Unfortunately, his parents don't seem to want him back."
That's pretty revealing!
I'm glad you're getting your life back.
A friend just went through something with her husband, not the same particulars, but similar in that, unbeknownst to her, he was playing an end game.
He knew it was just a matter of time & he knew he couldn't "win", so he extracted everything he could in the meanwhile, just for the pleasure of wringing her dry & making a fool of her.
I hate to see someone else trying to act in good faith, trying to accomodate a person who seems bent on using her own good faith & graciousness against her.
I my own self would be tempted to set everything out on the porch & change the locks.
I wish you the best.

Orang-utans and Shangri-la
Sorry for the lack of blogs in the last few days. Have spent most of my time in the hospital, or in the gym! Today however, we decided to get out and explore a bit more of the area. Sabah state is famous for it's Orang-utans. It has two sanctuaries, one deep near the eastern coast, which has rehabilitated 38 monkeys so far, while the other, a much smaller reserve, is a newer sister company, founded as part of the Shangri-la Rasa Ria resort. We arrived, after a ...
Journey to the Equator
... I was quite relieved to be taken to the door of my hotel rather than having to walk from the bus stop, a good 20 minute walk away in the torrential rain! I was sure the bus driver had said 8pm was the last bus but sometimes they get English numbers wrong! Its always best to get them to hold their fingers up as well just to be sure. I'd spotted sewing machine men at the market so took my broken canvas bag to be fixed while I waited on a little blue plastic ...
Borneo 10K run
... yoga in January and February. We went to gym with Viv before sunrise, we ate more healthy and even tried a lighter version of a fasting diet. After my fiasco with 5K music run, I ran 61k in a week, which is not bad at all. I was feeling ready for it, but still a bit nervous. During my Borneo trip we did lots of hiking including mount Kinabalu. So that was helpful as well. The aim was to survive it. Ideally under ...

... like fairy lights were hung around the trees and they switched it on after it got dark. That was hundreds and thousands of fireflies all over the trees. It was so magical - tiny flashing lights in the complete darkness as we are slowly sliding along the river. Some fireflies were flying towards our boat and one landed on my hand and it was apparent that it was just a bug with a fluorescent bum. Anyway, it was totally magical, like in the Japanese ...
Week 4
... to walk right along the beach to the very tip for some amazing views of the nearby islands. It clouded over around 4 so we took the bus back and headed back to the hotel. Tonight we were going to watch Sabah FA (the local football team) play at the Likas stadium so needed to grab some dinner relatively early so headed to a pasta place on Gaya street. I had spaghetti bolognese which was so nice to have after nearly a month without pasta. Harold had kindly agreed to give us a ...

Is there some event I can subscribe to when the history state is modified? How?
The onpopstate event should be fired when the history changes, you can bind to it in your code like this:
This event may also be fired when the page loads, you can determine whether the event was fired from a page load, or by using pushState/replaceState by checking the event object for a state property, it will be undefined if the event was caused by a page load
There currently is no onpushstate event unfortunately, to get around this you need to wrap both the pushState and replaceState methods to implement your own onpushstate event.
I have a library that makes working with pushState a bit easier, it might be worth checking it out called Davis.js, it provides a simple api for working with routing based on pushState.
Have a look here, the onpopstate event and a nice little problem of different behavior of it in different browsers explained at the same time:
I used to use this to also be notified of when
It's usually overkill though. And it might not work in all browsers. (I only care about my version of my browser.)
NB. It also doesn't work in Google Chrome extension content scripts, because it's not allowed to alter the site's JS environment. You can work around that by inserting a

Three teens arrested for holiday decoration damages
Date: December 10, 2012
by: The Observer Staff
(Click "Like" to become a fan of the Palm Coast Observer.)
Three Palm Coast teenagers told deputies they were "Grinching" early Sunday morning when they stole holiday lawn ornaments from multiple Palm Coast homes and damaged mailboxes along several city streets.
The three boys, all 17 years old, are charged with felony grand theft from a dwelling, criminal mischief and felony criminal mischief that occurred overnight Saturday.
Deputies responded to a home on Filbert Lane Sunday morning, where a resident reported stolen holiday lights. Another resident of Federal Lane reported the theft of holiday decorations as well.
As part of their investigation, deputies identified the three juveniles involved. The three returned the stolen items to the owners and then assisted deputies with identifying the damages they caused overnight.
Two baseball bats were recovered from vacant lots. Stolen holiday lights and lawn ornaments were recovered outside the home of one of the juveniles and inside the trunk of the vehicle that had been used in the incident.
In all, deputies determined that a total of nine separate damage incidents were caused by the teenagers, including damage to mailboxes, a house window and a vehicle. The teens also were charged with six different thefts of holiday decorations.
Two of the juveniles were charged and released to their parents. One juvenile was transported to the Division of Youth Services in Daytona Beach.
More than a dozen addresses were listed as having incurred damages to lights, ornaments, mailboxes or, in one case, the deck of a vehicle.

This walkthrough for WWE Raw 2: Ruthless Aggression [X-BOX] has been posted at 25 Aug 2010 by FORMUL01 and is called "Strategy Guide Final". If walkthrough is usable don't forgot thumbs up FORMUL01 and share this with your freinds. And most important we have 3 other walkthroughs for WWE Raw 2: Ruthless Aggression, read them all!
Walkthrough - Strategy Guide Final
============================== RAW is STRATEGY - FINAL Your Guide to the Strategy of WWE RAW 2 by Kevin Love Copyrighted by Kevin Love, 2003 ============================== QUALITY CONTROL(?) Raw 2... is it good, or is it bad? Let's put it this way: If you're reading this, you aren't thinking about whether or not the game is made well or made poorly. You want to know how to win, and this guide will help you do that. 3, 2, 1... CONTACT You can send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com . This is my personal e-mail address, you'd better believe it. I'm giving you this immense privelage so that we (the video game community) can improve this guide. If you've got a question or something to add, go ahead and write me about it. Try to make the subject "WWE Raw 2" if you would, easier to sort my mail that way. YOUR HEAD WILL TAKE YOU FARTHER THAN YOUR BACKSIDE If you send me an e-mail about something that is already answered in this guide, I'm probably not going to write back to you. So if you don't hear from me, read through the guide again. Try using your browser's "find" function if you need to search this document. If you're positive that the subject you brought up isn't in the guide, just write another e-mail. Don't be rude, just make it clear you really couldn't find something and you're stuck for an answer. VERSION UPDATES FINAL I gave the FAQ portion one final update. It seems that all the questions that people have are answered. I also updated the permission list. This guide was fun to work on, so thanks to all of the readers for checking out! Special thanks to all the contributors, who made this guide as good as it is. :-) 0.9 I apologize for the delay, information slowed down somewhat on Raw 2. I've gone through my e-mails and added many new questions. To those who are now contributors, thank you for your patience! The FAQ portion was updated significantly. I want to do at least one more version of this guide, but probably won't need to do anything else after that. Send me any questions you have about the game, or let me know if there's a match I didn't go over that you are having problems with. :) 0.8 -Updated FAQ Portion (including new Unmasked Kane information!) -Updated Legal Information. -Updated Contributors list. 0.7 -Added permission to WWE Gaming Forum. -Updated FAQ Portion significantly. 0.6 -Easier to read format for FAQ portion, now has sections. -Updated FAQ Portion. -Updated Hell in a Cell tactics. 0.5 -Added Section "Science of the Ladder Match" -Updated FAQ -Updated Ladder Match Tactics -Updated Cut-Scenes -Updated Table Match Tactics 0.4 -Updated "Steal" information. -Updated FAQ Portion. -Updated Ladder Match Tactics. -Added cut-scene list. -Added GM assigned matches. -Added Contributors section. 0.3a -Added permission to GamingRing.com. 0.3 -Added section that describes each character alignment type. -Changed second "Manipulate" failure to a success, as is in game. -Permission list added to Legal Information. 0.2 -Changed language within guide. -Added details of season mode actions. -Refined cage match details. -Updated question about not receiving a title won. ============= SECTIONS ============= -Game Basics -Specific Match Tactics -Science of the Ladder Match -Season Mode -Frequently Asked Questions -Legal Information ================== GAME BASICS ================== HIC-A-DO DOES MEAN FOLLOWING THE RULES Playing efectively means understanding the rules of the game. Every character has ratings in Punching, Kicking, Grappling, Submissions, Acrobatics, and Rough-Housing. Each of these has an offense value, and a defense value. The offense value determines how effective your attacks with that move type are. The defense value determines how well you handle having that attack used on you. For example, Rob Van Dam is awesome at kicks. He has a kick offense rating of 5. Steven Richards takes kicks like most wrestlers do, he has a kick defense rating of 3. RVD's kick offense has a rating 2 points higher than Richards' kick defense, so RVD should clearly use kicks. If RVD also has a rating of 5 in acrobatic offense, but Richards only has a rating of 1 in acrobatic defense, RVD has a 4 point advantage! RVD could beat Richards much more quickly by using acrobatic moves more often. While it's not necessary to know your opponents inside and out, it certainly tweaks your performance if you know how to hit the opponent where it hurts. DONE BEFORE YOU BEGIN There are also physical parameters. These are not in competition with your opponent's stats directly. However, you must incorporate these in to your strategy or you will most likely lose. These parameters include power recovery, voltage recovery, jump distance, and movement speed. Keep these tips in mind: =Power Recovery= If you have a low power recovery, you'll need to take extra caution not to get hit. Your "health" will drop more quickly during a match. If power recovery is high, however, you can afford to be a little more wreckless. =Voltage Recovery= The higher your voltage recovery is, the more effective taunts are. If this rating is high only perform a few moves between taunts to pump up your voltage meter more quickly, resulting in the gain of special moves. The lower your voltage recovery is, the more moves you should pull between taunts. =Jumping Distance= The larger the number, the farther you can leap from the turnbuckle. If this rating is low, only use flying moves when your opponent is close to the turnbuckle. If this rating is high, you can be more liberal with the number of flying attacks you use. =Movement Speed= This not only governs how quickly you run and walk, but how fast your moves are performed. If your character is poor at strikes, give yourself high movement speed and make up for your weakness with a higher number of strikes. If you're strong in strikes, you can afford to have a lower speed since your hits are more effective. There are also personal stats, but we'll talk about those later. CONTROL YOUR ANGER Playing Raw 2 requires that you know what each button does, as well as what combinations of buttons do. Slightly different combinations could mean different things entirely. CSA will denote "character specific attack." If a combination has its own listing, CSA represents a unique attack. If two combinations are identical, they will be listed as one move. =STANDING POSITION= -Movement: Use the d-pad to walk around. Double tap the d-pad (or press the left analog stick) to run. Try pressing X while running to strike an opponent, or A to grapple them. -Aim: Press L repeatedly to cycle through all of the wrestlers. Press R to aim at the wrestlers nearest you. Press L + R to enter free-walk, where you don't face anybody constantly. -Strikes: The X button is used to strike your opponent, plain and simple. X = CSA X + Up = CSA X + Down = CSA X + Left = CSA X + Right = CSA Strikes will be important to characters with high ratings in punches and kicks. Know your arsenal of strikes well... while some are quick, they may be weak. While some strikes are slow, they may knock down your opponent. -Dodging/Countering: To dodge or counter a move, press B right before your opponent lands a strike or initiates a grapple to counter it. This will damage them and/or put you in an advantageous position. -Grapples: The A button is used to grapple your opponent, IE lock up with them. Once you've locked up, press X or A to perform a maneuver. All of these combinations assume that you've locked up with your opponent (using A, remember?) X = CSA X + Up = CSA X + Down = CSA X + Left = CSA X + Right = CSA A = CSA A + Up = CSA A + Down = CSA A + Left = CSA A + Right = CSA Y = Nothing White Button = Nothing Black Button = Switch to Grappling Opponent's Back B = Release Opponent (should only be used if you accidentally grab referee or team member) Directional Pad = Drag Opponent Directional Pad + Black Button (tapped) = Irish Whip Directional Pad + Black Button (held) = Haul opponent to edge of the ring and throw them out (does not work in Royal Rumble!) If your back is towards the turnbuckle, you'll whip the opponent at it, and they will bounce off the post. (Thanks to Dennis De Bernardi for the correspondence.) Grapples contain so much variety: They're not strictly for grapplers, interestingly. Many of the moves you'll perform while grappling will actually be considered strikes. Use grapples that incorporate your character's strengths. -Back Grapples: These are like regular grapples, but occur while holding your opponent from behind. X = CSA X + Any Direction = CSA A = CSA A + Any Direction = CSA Y = Nothing White Button = Nothing Black Button = Switch to Grappling Opponent's Front B = Release Opponent (should only be used if you accidentally grab referee or team member) -Special Moves: While grabbing your opponent with a flashing voltage meter (cranked up by your attacks and taunts,) you can hit X + A to perform a signature special move. The game will prompt you with text near your voltage meter when you can do this move, so it's obvious when you can and can't do it. There are front, back, turnbuckle, and rope special moves. Special moves are very damaging, but you can only perform two in a row before your voltage falls again. -Turnbuckle Opponent: If you whip or smack your opponent in to a turnbuckle, you can grab them and attempt an attack. Use A to grab, or X to strike. -Rope Opponent: Same as above. Wait for your wrestler to drag the opponent to the center of the ropes after grabbing them (unless they are already centered.) -The Mystical Black Button: This button will help you exit the ring and climb turnbuckles. Press towards the ropes or turnbuckle to exit or climb. From the apron, you can punch, grab, and taunt opponents in the ring. You can drop on an opponent below with the A button. From the turnbuckle: X = CSA (probably a flying move for a standing opponent) A = CSA (probably a flying move for a fallen opponent) -Weapons: Pick up a weapon by pressing the white button. Some weapons (tables, ladders, chairs) can be "set up" for further uses. Press the black button to set up a weapon that you are holding. White Button = Pick Up/Drop weapon Black Button = Set Up weapon being held X = Strike Opponent with Weapon X + Any Direction = Strong Strike with weapon A = Throw Weapon (if holding chair, starts a chair grapple) Ladder Tips: Begin climbing by pressing towards the ladder and pressing the black button. Hold up to climb once on. When at the top, press up + black to leap for the title (if hanging.) Press A to attempt an aerial attack. Chair Tips: Press A while holding a chair to grapple your opponent. B = Strike with Chair B + Any Direction = Alternate Strike with Chair A = Strike with Chair A + Any Direction = Alternate strike with Chair If a chair is set up, you can run at it and press the black button to perform a diving attack. Table Tips: After setting up a table, you can knock an opponent through it. Try using body slams, suplexes, or even knocking an opponent from a height on to the table. =OPPONENT GROUND MOVES= These moves assume your opponent is down. -Strikes: Press X to strike your opponent. X = CSA X + Any Direction = CSA X (while running) = CSA -Grapples: Depending on what you stand near, you can grab your opponent by the head or legs. While holding them, try these combinations. X = Pick Up Opponent (force to face towards you) X + Any Direction = CSA (most likely a grapple or strike, not guaranteed) A = Pick Up Opponent (force to face away from you) A + Any Direction = CSA (likely to be a submission move, not guaranteed) Black Button = Flip Opponent (different moves depending on whether they face up or down) White Button = Nothing Y = Nothing B = Release Opponent (should be used only if you accidentally grab referee or team member) -Pinning an opponent: Press Y while standing over your opponent to attempt a pin. Try rotating the d-pad and tapping A while holding them down. This may help, or it may not... inconclusive so far. You may strike your opponent with weapons while they are down as well, by using X (or even A to throw it at them.) ========================= MATCH SPECIFIC TACTICS ========================= =LADDER/TLC MATCHES= Essentially, these are Hardcore matches with a twist: There are no pins. You must climb a ladder, grab the belt, and pull it down (it's incredibly difficult.) Step 1: Beat down your opponent. Using your knowledge of regular matches, put your opponent to the Danger point and then some. They may try to set up a ladder. Stop them by knocking them down or grabbing them. If they manage to set up a ladder, knock it down. You can strike the ladder or the opponent as they climb it. The ladder is a great weapon, so don't forget to bash the opponent with it. If they're about to hit you while you're holding the ladder, press X on its own for a quick swing. If you have a little time, press a direction with X for a harder swing. Throws are quick and knock down the opponent, so throw the ladder using A button at your own discretion. Step 2: When your opponent is down, set up the ladder where you can. Move to the opposite side of the ring from your opponent. When your wrestler is holding the ladder over the shadow of the suspended belt (a dark spot in the center of the ring) press the black button to set it up. Step 3: Wait for your opponent to stand. When they do, knock them down (before they try to move the ladder to the lower central position.) When they are down, run to the side of the ladder OPPOSITE the suspended belt (so that when you climb the ladder, you are facing the belt.) Press towards the ladder and press the black button. Step 4: With your wrestler on the ladder, hold up to climb the ladder. When they stop, press up + the black button. They should leap and grab the belt (assuming it's the short ladder. If it's a tall ladder, they will simply grab the belt.) The tall ladder seems to work faster. Quickly rotate whichever movement control (Left Analog Stick or D-Pad, both work) you are most comfortable with. Position your thumb over both the A and X buttons, and press them rapidly at the same time. Please read "Science of the Ladder Match," found in this document, for more information. Step 5: Pull down the belt or your opponent will set up the ladder, join you in holding the belt, and probably beat you. It's that simple (yet frustrating.) =TABLE MATCHES= When you get the opportunity, set up a table (pick it up with the white button, set it up with the black button.) Try to body slam or suplex your opponent through it. When it breaks, you win (unless YOUR ass broke it!) Just a matter of learning how to lock up with your opponent and angling a grapple through the table. Many different throws work, but start with slams and suplexes. You'll need to perform a staggering move to lay your opponent out on a table. This move is the same one you may have seen knocking your opponent backwards in a daze, forcing them to become hung up on the ropes or turnbuckle. Most wrestlers can perform this move by grappling and pressing Left + X. Line up the opponent's back with the long side of the table and perform the move. =CAGE MATCHES= This match finds you in the ring, surrounded by metal gates. Give your opponent a good beating. Climb on to the cage with the black button. While hanging there you can kick with X. Press the black button and down to drop, or the black button and up to continue climbing. While climbing to the top pound the buttons rapidly, along with the d-pad. When your wrestler starts to sit on the top, stop mashing buttons. Press away from the ring along with the black button to drop out. When you grapple and press a direction while holding the black button in the cage, you won't be able to throw your opponent out of the ring. Instead, you'll throw them in to the metal, injuring them. =HELL IN A CELL MATCHES= Another cage contraption surrounds the ring... but this time it's two stories tall and has a ceiling. You must pin your opponent in the ring to win. However, you can have fun with this match. Exit the ring, and run at the left or right side of the cell. Strike the side while running to burst open the doors. From here, you can climb the doors of the cell from the outside. Press against the side of the cell (near the door) and hit the black button to begin climbing. When your opponent joins you on the roof of the cell, try to smash them through one of the four central squares. It should give way, damaging your opponent vastly. Good opportunity for a pin, assuming you both land in the ring. Nothing much to this match. When on top of the cell, you can knock your opponent off the side. This will cause a KO. This can only occur in the central two rows of the cell, on the left or right edge. Try grabbing them, and pressing Left + X. When you see your opponent waving their arms like they are about to fall, grab them and press an attack button, and enjoy. (Thanks to "Shotgunner" for correspondence on this.) ============================== SCIENCE OF THE LADDER MATCH ============================== WTF OR GG? The ladder match... so confounding. So troublesome. Yet this match can be amazing if you know how to play it. THE DEFINITIVE ANSWER While hanging from the belt, rotate whichever movement control is most comfortable to you. Position your thumb over both the A and X buttons, and press them rapidly at the same time. My fastest time with this method is 14 seconds, though it may be possible for some to do it faster. WHAT HAPPEN? I sat down and tested each individual button. If the button does not do anything, the wrestler will fall to the ground in a little more than a minute. If the button works, the wrestler obviously gets the title eventually. =Buttons That Do Nothing= Left Trigger Right Trigger Y Button B Button White Button Black Button =Buttons That Work= Left Analog Stick Directional Pad X Button A Button FIN That's all there is to it. Some buttons don't work. Buttons that do work take a long time to work on their own. Following the procedure above is the most optimized way of getting the belt. Done and done. ================ SEASON MODE ================ THE ROAD TO PERDITION... ER, WRESTLEMANIA This game mode allows you to pick a wrestler and engage your opponents/allies in true WWE style. You can play with up to three of your friends in season mode. LIKE THE DMV BUT FASTER There are several choices when you start a new season (or continue one.) =Start Event= Use this to begin the night's matches. =Registration= This is where you can change who you play as, and how many players are playing. =Profile= You can check the profile of any player's character. This will include friends, manager, enemies, personal stats, and the titles you hold. =Save/Exit= Press A to save when this is selected, or B not to save. After that, press A to exit or B to stay. AND... TRACTION! When a show begins, you'll have the opportunity to select actions you would like to perform. Think about the goals you want to accomplish: If you're an unpopular character, you'll need to boost your popularity. Start a feud, use sneak attacks, make allies with encourage, call out your less popular enemies to challenge them to matches, etc. Remember to rest every once in awhile, for your vitality is used up through these actions. When it gets to the point that you want the belt, frequently use surprise attacks and call out the title holder. Complaining will also help spur on a feud. MONDAY NIGHT DETAILS There are many actions you can perform, with many outcomes. Each one will cost you a certain amount of spirit points. If you don't have enough spirit points, the action will definitely fail. =Rest= A staple of season mode, this is the only action that does not cost vitality points (assuming it succeeds.) Successful Outcome One: Your spirit goes up by 20. Successful Outcome Two: A friend comes in and encourages you. Your spirit goes up by 5, your popularity goes up by 1, and your friendship with the person is strengthened. Miss Outcome One: You are attacked in the locker room. If you win the fight, you lose 10 spirit points, gain 2 popularity points, and your hatred towards your opponent deepens. Miss Outcome Two: You are attacked in the locker room. If you lose the fight, you lose 40 spirit points, lose 1 popularity point, and your hatred towards your opponent deepens. Draw Outcome: You are attacked in the locker room. If you and your attacker both fail to win the fight, the event ends in a draw. Each participant loses 20 spirit points. (thanks to Ralph for the reminder.) =Surprise Attack= Basically, you're going to beat the heck out of somebody back stage. The fight is simple: You can strike your opponent, or take them down with a grapple specific to this fight. Try knocking them down with a hard strike, and continue stomping on them. When the standing opponent is dazed, grab them to perform your finisher and win the fight. Successful Outcome: You win the fight. You lose 10 spirit, gain 2 popularity, and your hatred towards your opponent deepens. The advantage is that your opponent loses 40 points of spirit and 1 point of popularity. Miss Outcome One: Your opponent isn't there. You lose 5 spirit points. Miss Outcome Two: You lose the fight. You lose 40 spirit points, 1 point of popularity, and your hatred towards your opponent deepens. Draw Outcome: Neither combatant wins. Security ends the fight. Each participant loses 20 spirit points. (Thanks to Aeirch for the information.) =Interference= This is an expensive action to take, which makes sense since you'll be directly impacting the outcome of a match. Successful Outcome: You beat up the ring guards and enter the arena. You lose 20 spirit points and gain 2 popularity. When the match gets underway, you can press X to run out. Your voltage meter will be full, so take advantage. Miss Outcome: The guards hold you back, and you leave. You lose 10 spirit points. =Steal= This action is used to unlock items. You can rob an individual wrestler 3 times before it no longer does anything. The first two times will unlock their costume and alternative costume. The third time will unlock their video in theater mode. (Thanks to Josh James for info.) Successful Outcome: You steal an item. Your spirit goes down by 10, and you lose 1 popularity point (hey, you ARE stealing!) Miss Outcome: Your wrestler fails to find an item. You lose 5 spirit points. =Set Trap= Here your wrestler attempts to rig a crate to fall on an enemy. There are two kinds of crates, cardboard and metal. Successful Outcome One: A cardboard box hits your target. You lose 10 spirit. Your target loses 20 spirit and 3 popularity. Successful Outcome Two: A metal box hits your target. You lose 10 spirit. Your target loses 40 spirit, and 5 popularity. Successful Outcome Three: An anvil hits your target. You lose 10 spirit points, and 5 popularity. Your opponent loses 99 spirit points, and some popularity. (Thanks to Josh James for the info.) Miss Outcome One: Your crate misses the target and falls to the floor. You lose 5 spirit points. Miss Outcome Two: Your crate hits somebody other than its target! They will hate you, and you will be penalized (details coming soon.) =Manipulate= This is an entertaining one. You will attempt to trick an enemy in to attacking the target that you select. Successful Outcome One: Your patsy obliterates your target, refusing to listen to reason. You lose 10 spirit along with 3 popularity. Your target will lose 50 spirit points, and hate grows between the patsy and the target. Successful Outcome Two: Your patsy attacks the target, but the target convinces them to stop the beating. You lose 10 spirit points along with 1 popularity. Your target loses 20 spirit points, and will hate you more. Miss Outcome One: Your patsy isn't such a patsy, and refuses to go after the target. You lose 5 points of spirit. =Encourage= This is your way of making allies. Successful Outcome: Your target is receptive to you, and you exchange friendly words. You lose 10 spirit points, gain 2 popularity, and your target will be more friendly towards you. Miss Outcome One: Your target isn't in their locker room. You lose 10 spirit. Miss Outcome Two: Your target seems a bit bothered by your presence, and shoos you out of the room. You lose 10 spirit points, but gain a bit of friendship. =Call Out= Use this action to get matches that you want. If you call out many people in a night, you may get several opponents in a match! The match will typically take place the following event. When you are more popular than a belt holder, try calling them out. Successful Outcome: Your target comes out and the two of you have words. You lose 10 spirit points, gain 5 popularity, and develop hatred towards the target. Your target will gain 2 popularity. Miss Outcome One: Your target does not come out. You lose 5 spirit. Miss Outcome Two: One of your enemies other than your target comes out with a mic. You lose 10 spirit points, gain 2 popularity, and develop hatred towards your enemy. They will get 1 popularity point. =Complain= This is your way of telling an enemy what you think of them without violence. Successful Outcome: You argue with your target. You lose 10 spirit points, and hate develops. Miss Outcome: Your target isn't there. You lose 5 spirit points. =Select Manager= When you become friends with somebody, you can ask them to become your manager. They will accompany you to some matches. Successful Outcome: Your target agrees to become your manager. You lose 10 spirit, gain 3 popularity, become better friends with the target, and your target gains 3 popularity. Miss Outcome One: Your target isn't there. You lose 5 spirit points. Miss Outcome Two: Your target doesn't want to be your manager (you may already have one.) You lose 10 spirit. =Break Up= This ditches your current manager. They will become your enemy, and you lose 10 spirit (along with their management.) PERSONALITY MATTERS MOST Ever wonder how the game figures out who your enemies are? It's called alignment, and everybody has one. Though it's color coded in Create A Superstar mode, here it is, all broken down. =Alignment A= A perfectionist. Perfectionsts like helpful people and peace makers. They hate those who are subdued, and those who watch out only for themselves. A few of the perfectionists in the game are Triple H, Kevin Nash, and Trish Stratus. =Alignment B= Always helps out others. Helpful people like perfectionists and those who aim for success. They dislike those who aim solely for happiness and those who watch out only for themselves. A few of the helpful people in the game are Edge, The Hurricane, and Rikishi. =Alignment C= Aims for fame and success. Fame chasers like true individuals, and those who help others. They dislike those who work soley for happiness, and those who work for physical perfection. A few of the fame chasers in the game are Kurt Angle, Booker T, and Matt Hardy. =Alignment D= A true individual who doesn't mind standing out. True individuals like those who aim for success, and those who are subdued but watch others. They dislike those who work for physical perfection and peace makers. A few true individuals in the game are The Rock, Hulk Hogan, and Rob Van Dam. =Alignment E= Someone who is subdued and watches others. Subdued people like true individuals, and those who watch out for themselves. They dislike peace makers and perfectionists. A few subdued people in the game are Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio, and William Regal. =Alignment F= Someone who watches out only for themselves. Those who do so like those who are subdued, and those who aim solely for happiness. They dislike perfectionists and those who help others. A few examples of those who watch out only for themselves in the game are Lance Storm, Test, and Randy Orton. =Alignment G= Somebody who aims solely for happiness. They like those who watch out for themselves, and those who work for physical perfection. They dislike those who aim for success and those who help others. A few examples in the game of people who aim for happiness are Goldust, Eddie Guerrero, and Rico. =Alignment H= One who works for physical perfection. They like those who aim for happiness, and those who are peace makers. They dislike those who aim for success, and true individuals. A few physical perfectionists in the game are Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, and Steve Austin. =Alignment I= A peace maker and conflict solver. Peace makers like those who work for physical perfection, and all-around perfectionists. They dislike true individuals and those who are subdued. Peace makers in the game include Bubba Ray Dudley, Billy Gunn, and Val Venis. LIGHT A MATCH Occasionally, the General Manager of the show you're on will come out (Eric Bischoff for Raw, Stephanie McMahon for Smackdown.) They will put you in a match, to take place on the next show. IT'S USELESS, CAPTAIN There are a few cut-scenes which don't have any apparent effect on stats or alliances, but are amusing all the same. Trust Date Conflict Feud Argue Respect I will not be adding the details of these scenes. They don't have any effect on gameplay, and I don't want to spoil them for those who haven't seen them. (Thanks to Josh James for asking about these scenes.) ============================ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ============================ =IN-MATCH QUESTIONS= Question: When I grab the belt, I just dangle there! I can't get it down, but my opponent can. What do I do? Answer: Please read the section titled "Science of the Ladder Match." It gives the best method for getting the belt, as well as describes how I came to that conclusion. (Thanks to email@example.com for correspondence on this issue.) Question: When my volatage meter flashes "danger," my opponent won't stop pinning me even if he fails several times! What do I do? Answer: If you're playing against the computer, your only option is to pound the buttons quickly and hope they give you a slight break. I've never seen it go more than 5 times in a row, but it could go further theoretically. Try not to worry: if they didn't get you the first time, they aren't likely to get you with further pin attempts (though your wrists may get tired.) If you are playing against a friend, consider giving them a bruised arm (though I do not endorse violence.) :) Question: Can I fight backstage when not in season mode? (Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com for the question.) Answer: Nope. There isn't any way to exit the arena. Question: Can I fight near the titantron? (thanks to Vincent Rodriguez for the question.) Answer: No, there's no way to head up the ramp. Question: How do I lay somebody on a table? (Thanks to all of those who asked this question.) Answer: You'll need to perform a staggering move to lay your opponent out on a table. This move is the same one you may have seen knocking your opponent backwards in a daze, forcing them to become hung up on the ropes or turnbuckle. Most wrestlers can perform this move by grappling and pressing Left + X. Line up the opponent's back with the long side of the table and perform the move. Question: Whenever my enemies interfere in my matches, they attack my opponent and not me! What's going on? (Thanks to all of those who asked this.) Answer: It's unknown whether this is a glitch or just a poor decision by Anchor (the first is much more likely.) There is nothing you can do about it. Question: I've got the *insert title* belt and I don't see it on my wrestler! (Thanks to Darryn for this question.) Answer: It doesn't show up during entrances. The only time you'll see that you have the belt is before a title match in season, or the beginning of a show in season (assuming it's the WWE or World title.) Question: Where do I get weapons? Answer: Pushing towards the center of the side of the ring, press the white button. Question: How do I get weapons in to the ring? (Thanks to all those who asked.) Answer: While holding the weapon, press towards the ring and the white button. Question: How do I taunt in the corner? (thanks to Bill for the question. Answer: Press against the corner and tap a direction on the right analog stick. =CUSTOMIZATION= Question: How do I rip music for my custom wrestler's themes? Answer: This function is done at the XBox's starting interface (the thing with options and

Auction House To Take Bids On Neil Armstrong's EKG
By editor
Good morning, I'm David Greene. Being the first person to set foot on the moon would make anyone's heart skip a beat. Well, not apparently Neil Armstrong. An auction house in Amherst, New Hampshire, is about to take bids on Armstrong's EGK. It's a printout of the Apollo 11 astronaut's heart rate as he first stepped onto the surface of the moon in 1969. The printout is about six inches long and shows some fairly steady beats. Well, that's for one man. No word yet on mankind. It's MORNING EDITION.

Airbrushing is a nail art technique that involves spraying liquids, usually paint, on a surface (a nail tip) using an atomizer powered by compressed air. Airbrushes can also be used to apply tanning lotion, bronzer, and makeup.
Using an airbrush is a great way to expand your nail art creativity if you're hesitant about your handpainting skills. Airbrush kits typically consist of stencils and paints that are used to quickly and easily spray intricate designs onto nails, and airguns typically come in single-action and dual-action. Single action guns spray paint and air simultaneously as soon as the trigger is pressed down. Dual-action guns allow you to control the paint and airflow independently. So as you press down on the trigger, you move forward for air, and back for paint, allowing you to mix your spray.
Denise Loden, vice president of Safari Airbrush, has been airbrushing for over 23 years, and teaches airbrushing classes at Safari's home base in Tampa, Fla. She offers some advice on getting started using airbrushes.

Latest Astrophysical plasma Stories
Scientists from the Heidelberg Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK) in cooperation with DESY (Hamburg) at the synchrotron PETRA III have investigated for the first time X-ray absorption of highly charged iron ions.
Scientists are paving the way for future X-ray astrophysics research by explaining why observations from orbiting X-ray telescopes do not match theoretical predictions.
Magnetic turbulence is most likely the reason that solar wind moving away from our sun and our solar system is hotter than it theoretically should be, according to new research from scientists at the University of Warwick.
The first controlled studies of extremely hot, dense matter have overthrown the widely accepted 50-year old model used to explain how ions influence each other's behavior in a dense plasma.
Why the temperatures in the solar wind are almost the same in certain directions, and why different energy densities are practically identical, was until now not clear.
Physicists working in space plasmas have made clever use of the Ulysses spacecraft and the solar minimum to create a massive virtual lab bench to provide a unique test for the science underlying turbulent flows.
Magnetized plasmas occupy a large fraction of our cosmic universe; they exist on our sun, in the earth's magnetosphere, and in astrophysical plasmas.
Researchers at the University of Warwick have found what could be the signal of ideal wave "surfing†conditions for individual particles within the massive turbulent ocean of the solar wind.
A plasma – or ionized gas – can be as commonplace as in fluorescent light bulbs, or exotic in the extreme, as a thermonuclear explosion. The Earth's upper atmosphere is a plasma, as are lightning bolts and virtually all stars that light up the night sky.

quote:Prior to porting to us, please ensure your account is in an active status with your current provider. We will not charge you for porting in; however, you will need to ask your current provider if you will incur any charges from them when porting out.From a Wire Line (Landline) Provider: Most port requests from wire line providers (e.g. landline, cable and VOIP companies) take five to ten business days, but can take up to forty-five business days. Port requests from wire line providers may take longer than their wireless counterparts because wire line companies must go through third party account verifications and schedule a disconnect before the number can be transferred.
The act of transferring a phone number to another provider does not constitute the cancellation of an account. In the event of an outbound phone number transfer you acknowledge that it is your responsibility to contact ViaTalk LLC in the form of a customer service ticket.
said by FCC :The Porting PeriodThe FCC has changed its number porting rules to shorten the porting period for simple ports from the current four days to one business day. The new deadline applies to all simple ports, including intermodal ports such as wireline to wireless, wireless to wireline, wireline or wireless to VoIP or any other combination. Simple ports generally do not involve more than one line or more complex adjustments to telephone switching equipment. Wireline, wireless and interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers are required to meet this new, simple port deadline, which will take effect in late summer 2010 for most carriers. Small, rural carriers have a longer period, until the beginning of 2011, to meet the new porting deadline.During PortingIf you port from a wireline phone to a wireless phone, there may be a period of mixed service when you essentially have two telephones with the same number. Ask your new wireless company whether you will be able to continue using your current wireline number during the one day transfer process. Also, if you port from a wireline phone to a wireless phone, your wireline long distance company will not move with you. Your long distance service will generally be provided by your new wireless company, but you should verify this with the new wireless company before changing service providers.
It looks like the FCC requires the transfer to be done in one business day. I wonder why there is so much conflicting information?

Collaborating with Being/TBWA Art Director Julien Chiapolini this striking ad accents the Vodkas purity and main ingredient showing the wheat under a wintery night sky. Absolut's wheat is sown just prior to the winter freeze near the small town of Ahus in Sweden. Which they say creates the perfect ingredient for the purest Vodka.

Or Steam Sales in general. There is a lot of discussion and image about it. is it worth adding an entry about it?
Steam Summer Sale as a yearly internet Event?

I think we need an entry for this. Or if not, than at least a section in the "Valve" Entry.
I'm not really a good editor, so you guys can edit the rest.
Why, exactly, does this need an entry?
Yeah, I'm not really sure about this. What kinds of things are you planning to add?
If it's about the amount of online reaction and anticipation concerning steam sales, then it needs to include winter sales as well.
Agreeing with Opspe and Amanda, not yet fully convinced. Correct, the Steam summer sale spawns content, but to call this notable…… It might be better to do what Tomberry said and expand to just Steam Holiday Sales, give it a wider coverage.
I'm not too positive about the article itself either. I understand people like to start the entry so that they're open for others to continue on, mostly because they're not too good at writing themselves, but that was just below-zero effort and feels more like a "gotta be OP"-rush.
Agreed. I'm deadpooling the entry because it shows a complete lack of effort. If you want to work on it, I can bring it back after you've made some edits.
Not it's own entry, please. Steam in general needs its own section(s), but they would go on the Valve subculture page (unless that gets too big). Steam has notorious features and faults, and its supermassive sales qualify as one of them. I can't count the number of jokes I've seen involving a steam summer/christmas/spring sale and an empty wallet.
(I didn't know what topic to go to so I'm posting this here) I reworked the Steam Holiday Sale page and I was hoping it could be undeadpooled/I could get more help with it, as that's all the spread I could find.

Agreeing for an undeadpool, looks much better. I'll also add it as a sub-entry to Valve.
Good work Des. And thanks for getting that RM

'Big Bang Theory's' Kate Micucci on Howard's 'Song for Bernadette': Simon Helberg 'Nailed It' in One Take (Video)
The actress, who will return to reprise her role as Lucy, penned the song with her Garfunkel & Oates partner, Riki Lindhome.
Fans of CBS' The Big Bang Theory caught a glimpse of Kate Micucci's other talent Thursday when the recurring guest star penned Howard's heartfelt song for Bernadette.
During Thursday's "The Romance Resonance" episode, Micucci -- who plays Raj's ex-girlfriend Lucy -- and her Garfunkel & Oates writing partner Riki Lindhome penned "If I Didn't Have You (Bernadette's Song)" for the comedy.
The song, which featured nerdy references to Joss Whedon, Doctor Who, Steve Jobs and a verse in Klingon, was created as a romantic gesture from Howard to celebrate the anniversary of their first date. It featured star Simon Helberg performing the ode to his wife, Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), with backup from the rest of the cast in a whimsical chorus that poked fun at the former mama's boy.
PHOTOS: 'The Big Bang Theory's' Nerdiest Guest Stars
For her part, Micucci has been writing and performing quirky songs with Lindhome for some time. (Fun fact: Lindhome has also guest-starred on Big Bang Theory in the past as a Sheldon-obsessed Caltech student.) Together, they have recorded four albums and also have an IFC series based on their funny and quirky comedy folk duo in the works for next year.
The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Micucci to get the backstory on the memorable performance. (Watch the full video, below.)
When did the producers first approach you with this idea?
About a month and a half ago [showrunner] Steve Molaro called us. It seemed our music/comedic sensibility lined up with the show. Also, both Riki and I are huge fans of the show and have both been on it, so we were excited to write a song that was funny but also had a lot of heart.
What kind of instructions did the producers give you for the song?
They suggested the idea of Wolowitz singing about what his life would be without Bernadette.
Were there any lyrics/references that were must-haves?
The must-have was the line, "And he'd probably still live with his mom." And for us, rhyming "hopes" with "inseparable isotopes" was pretty thrilling.
How long did it take you to write?
In total, about a week.
PHOTOS: Behind the Scenes: 'The Big Bang Theory'
How much rehearsal time did you get with Simon and the cast?
We were on set every day. It was so exciting to watch Simon and the cast sing it. Simon is such an amazing actor and musician; he never failed to bring us to tears.
Was there anything that didn't make the cut?
They had to change one of the lines for scientific accuracy. We were surprised they only had to change one.
Were you on set to watch the taping? How many takes were there?
On the day of the live taping there was only one take. Simon nailed it.
The song is being released on iTunes with proceeds going to MusiCares — why was it important to support that organization?
It is a great organization that gives musicians a place to turn to in times of need. It is awesome that the song can help.
Have you guys talked about doing more in the future?
Not yet, but we would love to!
Check out the video, below, and hit the comments with your thoughts on the song. Micucci will reprise her role as Lucy on Nov. 14. The Big Bang Theory airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on CBS.
