Whatever your level of fitness, you already know the active steps you take now can improve your overall wellness today, tomorrow and well into your future. And while it seems simple to get out of that chair more often and move, making it stick is another matter. That's where vívofit can turn good intentions into lifelong habits. It's the only fitness band that greets you with a personalised daily goal, tracks your progress and reminds you when it's time to move.
Personalised Daily Goals
vívofit learns your current activity level, then assigns an attainable daily goal. As you meet your milestones, vívofit will adjust your goal for the next day, gradually nudging you toward a healthier lifestyle. At Garmin Connect™, our free online fitness community, you can earn virtual badges and view your progress.
Tells Time and "Time to Move"
Research shows prolonged periods of inactivity such as sitting at a desk decreases your body's production of fat-burning enzymes. You can reverse that effect by taking frequent, short walk breaks throughout your day. And while you might lose track of time and forget to move, vívofit knows. A red move bar appears on the display after 1 hour of inactivity and builds when you've been sitting too long. Just walk for a couple of minutes to reset the move bar.
Keep Moving
When you're ready to take the next steps toward better health, vívofit has additional features to keep you motivated. Use a heart rate monitor¹ with vívofit to record your heart rate data and get more accurate calorie burn information for any fitness activity, such as a run or a session at the gym. Also at Garmin Connect, you can join online challenges with other vívofit users or start your own competition with friends to compete for virtual badges and bragging rights.
Always On
vívofit follows your progress 24/7, and it can stay on for more than a year without a battery change. Set the sleep mode when you go to bed and vívofit will monitor your rest. At Garmin Connect, you can see your total sleep hours as well as periods of movement and restful sleep. The vívofit band is water-resistant², so you can shower or get caught in the rain, worry-free.
Get Connected
With the touch of one button, you can wirelessly sync vívofit with Garmin Connect to see a complete picture of your progress, join online challenges and earn virtual badges for extra motivation. You can access our free online community from your computer or on your compatible mobile device³ with the Garmin Connect™ Mobileapp.

James Lee "Jim" Wilcox, 66, died at 9:35 a.m. Nov. 8, 2012, at Zusman Community Hospice, Columbus.
He was born Nov. 26, 1945, in Lima to Eugene Robert and Theola Faulder Wilcox, who preceded him in death. He had been married to Connie Kimmet Wilcox, who survives in Delphos. His special lady friend, Linda Guthrie, survives.
Mr. Wilcox was owner and operator of the Knotty Pine, Fort Jennings, for 15 years and worked at Clark Equipment for 18 years.

He was a member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Delphos, and attended Trinity United Methodist Church. He was a Golden Eagle member of FOE 471 and a life member of American Legion Post 268 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3035, both in Delphos. He was a member of Loyal Order of Moose Lodge 199, Lima, Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks Lodge 1197, Van Wert, and Fort Amanda Lodge 706 Free & Accepted Masons, Lima. He was also a member of the Delphos St. John's band and athletic boosters. His true passion was cooking for others. He was a fan of University of Notre Dame and the Cleveland Browns and a devoted supporter of Delphos St. John's High School.
Survivors include four daughters, Jenny (Jeff) Fischer, of Columbus, Sarah (Benjamin) Abernethy, of Dayton, Katie Wilcox, of Columbus, and Ashleigh Wilcox, of Dayton; six grandchildren, Logan and Ethan Fischer, and Eden, Seth, Isaac and Elise Abernethy; other survivors, Renee (Keith) Burritt, Megan Klausing and Laura Klausing; and lifelong friend, Larry Grothouse.

Correction of the century runner-up
Back in November, we awarded The Patriot-News in Pennsylvania with the 'Correction of the (19th) Century' after it retracted a 1863 editorial characterizing former President Abraham Lincoln's now famous Gettysburg Address as "silly remarks."
On Tuesday, The New York Times offered a close runner-up from ten years earlier:
An article on Jan. 20, 1853, recounting the story of Solomon Northup, whose memoir "12 Years a Slave" became a movie 160 years later that won the best picture Oscar at the 86th Academy Awards on Sunday night, misspelled his surname as Northrop. And the headline misspelled it as Northrup. The errors came to light on Monday after a Twitter user pointed out the article in The Times archives. (The errors notwithstanding, The Times described the article as "a more complete and authentic record than has yet appeared.")

Rich Peverley skates for first time since injury, Tim Thomas gets start vs. Panthers
|03.15.12 at 12:06 pm ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien told reporters in Florida Thursday that forward Rich Peverley, who has been out since Feb. 15 with an MCL sprain, returned to the ice Wednesday in Boston for the first time since suffering his injury.
Peverley was expected to miss 4-6 weeks at the time of the injury. In 49 games this season, he has nine goals and 29 assists for 38 points.
Julien also said that Tim Thomas will be the starting goaltender Thursday vs. the Panthers. Thomas has played in 10 consecutive games, but has played 20 minutes or less in each of the last two Bruins contests.

DuPont and Rosetta Green Sign Research Agreement to Identify Drought Tolerance Genes in Corn and Soybeans
Collaboration Aims to Identify Additional Modes of Action for Drought Tolerance
Des Moines, IA and Rehovot, Israel (PRWEB) December 15, 2011
DuPont and Rosetta Green Ltd. have entered into a strategic research agreement to identify drought tolerance genes in corn and soybeans.
Under the agreement, Rosetta Green will use proprietary technology and bioinformatics capabilities to identify microRNAs. DuPont, through its Pioneer Hi-Bred business, will test candidate genes in target crops. Pioneer will have an exclusive commercial license for genes identified through this collaboration which will improve drought tolerance in corn and soybeans for farmers. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
âœDrought can lead to losses for corn growers of up to $13 billion annually,â said John Bedbrook, vice president, DuPont Agricultural Biotechnology. âœWe are pleased to collaborate with Rosetta Green to identify new genes leads which can help farmers protect yield and feed a growing population, and build on our strong pipeline of leads for drought tolerance.â
Water is one of the most significant inputs for farmers. On average, 85 percent of corn acres experience some level of yield reduction due to drought stress during the growing season. Improved drought tolerance in corn and soybeans will enable growers across the world to increase productivity while responsibly managing water resources.
"We are greatly honored by Pioneer's decisions to work with Rosetta Green,â said Amir Avniel, Rosetta Green CEO. âœSigning this agreement is a significant milestone for the company and a vote of confidence in its technology. We believe that microRNA genes have great potential in the agriculture industry and in crop improvement.â
MicroRNAs are small RNA molecules in corn, soybeans and other plants. They represent an additional mode of action to develop important trait solutions in corn and other crops.
Rosetta Green Ltd has a database of microRNA genes which it uses to develop improved plant traits using innovative genes called microRNA. The company specializes in the identification and use of these unique genes that function as "main bio-switches" to control key processes in major crops such as corn, wheat, rice, soybean and more. Rosetta Green's current trait development portfolio includes improved abiotic stress tolerance, increased yield and improved nitrogen use efficiency. For additional information please visit Rosetta Green's website at http://www.rosettagreen.com.
Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont business headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, is the world̢s leading developer and supplier of advanced plant genetics, providing high-quality seeds to farmers in more than 90 countries. Pioneer provides agronomic support and services to help increase farmer productivity and profitability and strives to develop sustainable agricultural systems for people everywhere. Science with Service Delivering Success̢Ң.
DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.

Until the boys were about 15 months, I was able to use our MBUD with my dd sitting on the footrest. A lot of people do that. Still, not a cheap stroller, but it's a wondeful stroller & you don't have to pay extra for the toddler ride. Oh, the reason it stopped working around 15 months is b/c that's when my twins decided they didn't want their sister sitting there anymore and literally would kick her off!
Another option is the ABC double with toddler seat.

Every Jamendo Api method is generically expressed as an entity or entity+subentity. The generic GET url form is the following:
As some of the RESTfull specifications (like the CRUD actions 1-1 mapping through HTTP methods, or the entity id received as get parameter) are not implemented in our framework, we rather prefer to define our API as RESTlike.
Read methods need an http or https GET method, while write methods need a POST. Note that you can and definitely should always use SSL to improve your application security, and you must use it in certain parts of the OAuth process.
Every api call returns a response document in the requested format: json, jsonpretty, xml. Such a response document (with a slightly different structure depending on the used format), will always contain some headers, and the results requested by your api call.
On every read method's documentation page and write method's documentation page you can see an example of a request and the corresponding response document.
Old versions of the Jamendo Api, the 'get' and 'get2' versions, are deprecated, but for the moment still available through the api.jamendo/get2/* and api.jamendo/get/* urls. Those api will still be working until mid 2015, but the returned data aren't up to date anymore since Jan 2014.
For instance, data like playlists are to be considered as 'frozen': if you add a playlist, you won't be able to read it with 'get' and 'get2' api.
The get2 api set up, provided the possibility of downloading an XML dump of the Jamendo database, containing the list of artists, albums and tracks with their tags. Such service may or may not be stopped next year, depending on the Jamendo dev community usage and feedbacks.
If you have any question, suggestion, bug or malfunction to report, write us and actively partecipate to the Jamendo GoogleGroup! Someone of our team or of the developer community itself will answer you as soon as possible.
When signing up to our developer portal and creating application, you are required to accept Jamendo Api terms of use, which we invite you to read carefully.
Every api call needs the 'client_id' GET parameter. To get your client_id, you have to sign up for a developer account on our Developer Portal. Note that for some api methods (to read/write a Jamendo user's private data), in addition to the 'client_id', you will need to implement an OAuth2 authentication workflow.
With your new developer account, you will be able to create 'applications'. For each application you will get a private 'client_id' that you can use to authenticate all API queries made by your application. If you want to make some quick tests, you can use this client id: f919df7d (ONLY for TESTING the read api).
By default, all 'applications' created in your account have the 'read only' plan applied (it allows you to use all the read api methods). If you need to use our write api, you have to change the plan of your application to the 'Read & Write' plan. This change requires approval by the Jamendo team, so don't forget to complete your application description correctly before applying for read access (application name, description, usage, ...).
With your account you will also have a access to the usage statistics of your application(s), that you can use to monitor how and how many users are using your application. Note that if your application overpass the limit of 500 000 hits per month, you will receive a simple email alert, and a warning in each api header. Don't panic, you can keep using our Api even over a million calls per month without any risk, but please try to optimize your code to prevent wasting resources, for example by caching responses instead of making a new request each time.
As mentioned in the introduction, all read api methods need have to be http or https GET requests. You can find the list of all existing read methods below, linking to their respective documentation page.
Every Read Method (the base url) accepts a given list of get parameters, with some conditions imposed on their values (type, accepted values, can it have multiple values, etc).
If one ore more of these conditions are not respected, the api framework will raise an appropriate error code and message, while any get parameter not belonging to the accepted list will simply get ignored, it will raise a warning though.
Every method's documentation page presents a table, containing the list of accepted parameters, their value type and a description. In the type-column, the syntax []integer means that such parameter also accepts multiple values, and each of those values must be an integer. In this case, multiple values can be specified using ' ' (a space) or '+' (a plus sign) as separator. A maximum number of accepted multiple values exists, and it's 50.
Note that also the enum type exists.
By default every /entity/subentity method will inherit the parameters declaration of its relative /entity "parent" method. In addition to this, almost every read method accepts and shares the declaration of the following common parameters. Any eventual exception to this rule is clearly marked on the method documentation pages.
|A Client Id provided by devportal.jamendo.com. For ONLY testing purpose you can use the following client_id: f919df7d
|enum: {xml, json, jsonpretty}
|The results formatting type
|Use this parameter to have the response json wrapped in a callback function (jsonp technique). Such feature is enable only for json format and GET requests; if used in combination with other formats or a not-get request, the callback parameter is simply ignored and a warning is raised
|The position to start returning results from
|The max number of results to return. Default is 10 and Max is 200. Using the keyword 'all' still a max of 200 rows will be returned
|[]enum: {}
|Sort results by the queried field(s).
You can specify whether to follow an ascending or descending order adding the suffix _asc or _desc to every field (order=field_asc). Asc is the default one.
Every method will return a list of entities matching your query. Every entity is described by a list of fields (and their values of course) that does not forcedly have a correspondent parameter, although it often is the case. Note that at the moment the returned fields are statically returned, meaning that you cannot "switch off" or "switch on" any returned field.
You'll notice that methods like /playlists/tracks lists the 'track' subentities in an aggregated and not tabular way. In this case the limit paramter still refers to the number of playlists to return, and not the number of tracks-per-playlist.
Soon we will enable the subentities limit and offset handling through parameters in the form of <subentity>_limit and <subentity>_offset. For instance, in the method /playlists/tracks, the parameter tracks_limit will set the limit of tracks per playlist.
Be carefull because there's a maximum limit of total aggregated subentities returned by entity/subentity methods and thus we cannot ensure that the number of returned subentities corresponds to the expected amount. Such limit is 400, while the maximum number of entities returned is 200.
As mentioned in the introduction, all write API methods need to use an http or https POST request.
If you need to use our write api, you have to change the plan of your application to the 'Read & Write' plan in your developer account. This change requires approval by the Jamendo team, so don't forget to complete your application description correctly before applying for read access (application name, description, usage, ...).
As for read methods a response document is always returned. Such a document always contains the headers with status, code and messages and just eventually also contains a specific return value (as the id of the playlist you have created through /setuser/playlist/).
Note that all write methods need the user to be logged in and therefore your application needs to implement an OAuth2 client to communicate with our OAuth2 server.
Every call returns a document containing headers and results. The headers are composed of four fields:
|Success (or success with warning)
|A generic not well identificated error occurred
|Http Method
|The received http method is not supported for this method
|One of the received parameters has a value not respecting requirements such as type, range, format, etc
|Required Parameter
|A required parameter has not been received, or it was empty
|Invalid Client Id
|The client Id received does not exists or cannot be validated
|Rate Limit Exceeded
|This requester app or the requester IP have exceeded the permitted rate limit
|Method Not Found
|Jamendo Api rest-like reading methods are in the format api.jamendo.com/version/entity/subentity (subentity is optional). This exception is raised when entity and/or subentity methods don't exist
|Needed Parameter
|A needed parameter has not been received or/and this needed parameter has not the needed value
|This exception is raised when the api call requests an unkown output format
|Entry Point
|The used IP and/or port is not recognized as valid entry point
|Suspended Application
|The client application has been suspended (illegal usage, ...)
|Access Token
|Invalid Access Token.
|Insufficient Scope
|Insufficient scope. The request requires higher privileges than provided by the access token

Critical Essay by Michael Srigley
SOURCE: Srigley, Michael. "Hamlet's Prophetic Soul." Studia Neophilologica 58, no. 2 (1986): 205-14.
In the following essay, Srigley analyzes Hamlet's melancholy in light of Saxo's description of his powers of divination.
For over two hundred years the nature and extent of Hamlet's madness has been discussed. It has been suggested that he was mad but pretending to be sane or, at the other extreme, that he was sane but feigning madness. In between there are various permutations on T. S. Eliot's statement that Hamlet was "less than mad, and more than feigning". It now seems to be generally agreed that Hamlet's state lies somewhere in this no-man's-land between sanity and madness. Dover Wilson gives one account of this state:
Shakespeare wishes us to feel that Hamlet assumes madness because he cannot help it. The tragic...

By SHARON LING
KUCHING: Opposition leader Wong Ho Leng (DAP-Bukit Assek) has been suspended from the Sarawak State Assembly for 12 months for a "camouflage" remark he made against a senior minister last November.
Speaker Datuk Mohamad Asfia Awang Nasar made the decision Wednesday after the matter was put to the vote and the majority of assemblymen were in favour of suspending Ho Leng under Section 14(1) of the Dewan Undangan Negeri (Privileges and Powers) Ordinance.
Ho Leng, who was given 10 minutes to speak by Asfia, protested that his suspension was procedurally wrong as Section 14(1) did not provide for any punishment to be carried forward into the assembly's next session.
He said that under the Section, action should have been taken against him during last November's sitting when he used the word "camouflage" in seeking clarification from Second Finance Minister Datuk Wong Soon Koh on the tabling of the Supplementary Supply (2008) Bill.
Furthermore, he said the suspension could not last beyond Dec 31 this year when the current session of the State Assembly ends.
"Under the section, any suspension automatically lapses at the end of the current session," he said.
Later, at the State Assembly's entrance, Ho Leng said it was very unfortunate that he had been suspended.
"It's a very sad day. Unfortunately, in the Dewan Undangan Negeri, might is right," he said.
Last November, Soon Koh tabled a motion referring Ho Leng to the Committee of Privileges for the "camouflage" remark.
He said Ho Lengs remark had imputed that he had an improper motive to conceal or hide a RM900mil expenditure which he had sought so as to deceive the August House to approve the money.
Ho Leng appeared before the committee on Dec 12 to defend himself.

Italian Dream
Studying in Rome for a semester had a big impact on Christina Palella's life—and her major.
Annually, more than 100 Saint Mary's women spend a semester or academic year in Rome, participating in the College's oldest and most popular study abroad program. They live and study in the heart of the city, within walking distance of famous sights like St. Peter's Basilica, the Forum, and the Trevi Fountain. They take courses in Italian, art history, classical archeology, international business, and other subjects, soaking up the language and culture directly. For Christina, the experience was transformative.
"You discover so much about yourself—how much you can do, how independent you can become, and how much you can connect with people from other countries," she says of the semester she spent in Rome during sophomore year. "You get a taste of a different kind of life."
What began as a taste ended up as a passion. After Rome, Christina returned to campus and became an Italian major. She added a second major in Spanish and a minor in secondary education. Eventually, she plans to work as a high school language teacher and pursue an MA or PhD in foreign languages.
Two favorite Italian teachers at Saint Mary's inspired those dreams. "Professor Nancy D'Antuono is a scholar, teacher, friend, and mother all in one. Professor Peter Checca is the only one who can make grammar fun—and funny. Their passion for Italian language and culture really carries over to us," says Christina. "As a teacher, hopefully I'll make my classes just as enjoyable as theirs were for me. I'd like to share my own interest and excitement with students, just like my professors did with me."

Senior midfielder Jalissa Dehaan, just as her teammates did as well, realized how disconcerting the situation was with her third-ranked Front Range Christian Lady Falcons and top-ranked Denver Christian tied with time winding down in their April 9 girls soccer encounter.
"It was the process of us gaining the momentum back," Dehaan said. "Toward the end, we were controlling the ball a lot more, and we were having better touches. It was mostly on our side, and we were getting a lot more shots."
LAKEWOOD — From the ride to Trailblazer Stadium to the pregame warm-ups, there was a different vibe to this Columbine-Chatfield boys' lacrosse game for the Rebels.
A clash of 5A top-10 teams with first place in the Front Range League on the line, the intensity was in the air. The last thing Columbine head coach Matt Plitnick wanted was his team to dig itself an early hole.
A solitary candle lit the altar in the darkened church as members of the congregation silently filled the pews. A Bible reading was the only sound in the meaningful minutes before midnight.
At the stroke of 12, the worshipers at St. Herman Orthodox Christian Church in Littleton began lighting candles, until the gathering was bathed in a soft illumination that sent the signal message: Christ is risen.
County Commissioner Libby Szabo is driving a new county vehicle purchased specifically for her.
County policy allows elected officials to use a county-provided vehicle or to receive reimbursement for mileage on a personal vehicle. Szabo chose a new Ford Taurus, at a cost of $40,000. Commissioners Casey Tighe and Don Rosier use their personal vehicles and are reimbursed for mileage.
Students from Front Range Christian School took part last week in an international effort to draw attention to the plight of those suffering under forced labor and slavery.
Students from the school stood at South Santa Fe Drive and West Bowles Avenue throughout the day April 10 as part of the International Justice Mission's Stand Up for Freedom Day.
A plan by the Regional Transportation District to increase fares and eliminate transfers continues to elicit protests, including opposition from South Jeffco commuters.
At a public meeting April 8 at the Ken Caryl Ranch House, a handful of area residents criticized RTD's proposed new fee structure, with several attendees expressing concern about the elimination of transfers and how that would affect low-income riders.
Meanwhile, at a meeting in Denver on the same day, more than 100 people protested the planned changes, according to media reports.
Theatergoers have a chance to support a local nonprofit while enjoying some memorable oldies from the '50s and '60s.
Littleton's Town Hall Arts Center again has teamed with TLC Meals on Wheels for a night of fund-raising on April 21. The evening, which raises funds for TLC, features cocktails, a raffle and a special performance of the center's current production, "The Marvelous Wonderettes."
The Sheriff's Office is searching for a man who stole $1,200 worth of video game and computer equipment from a locked display at a South Jeffco Walmart.
According to the Sheriff's Office, the man entered the Walmart at 13420 W. Coal Mine Ave. about 5:45 a.m. April 5, put several large pieces of cardboard into his cart, and proceeded to the store's electronics department.
Littleton police have identified the man who died in a fire on Monday.
Roger Alan Conklin, 52, was found on fire in the backyard of a home in the 500 block of West Crestline Circle, just southeast of Cornerstone Park. Police are investigating the incident but said in a news release that the death did not appear to be related to a crime.

Not sure if this will help or not in your endeavor, but...I live in Columbus, GA right now ( ewwwww ) and will be moving hopefully soon further south ( Mobile ). That said, my team ( 2 of us, and our pit crew ) "raced" the B1K in 09, and early on in the race I sent the bike cliff diving and could not go on. Bones can be such fickle things.
When it comes time to head to Ensenada, and you find yourself short a pre run bike, look me up if need be. I have an 05 XR650R I will happily loan you if you promise to bring it back.
It's my only bike, my race bike, and it has been worked over pretty well. Great suspension, everything essentially you have to do anyway, has been done. I have a few races to do between now and then, so I can't promise what shape it will be in when the time comes, but again, you are welcome to it to pre run with. We came up short a bike when we got there, and had to rent a huge piece of shit to pre run with, and it was not a good time.
Because of the connection not only of having been a brother in arms ( I did boot and AIT at Benning, swore I would never go back ) but also the connection a lot of us have come to know on this website, I'm happy to help where I can.
The best place for you to train locally ( I think you said you were nearby, right? ) is the Kentuck Trail complex in Talledega. It's about an hour and half away, and is the closest thing to racing on the moon ( Baja ) that you will find here. It's a two way trail, with animals ( turkey and deer ) that will run beside you and tell you how slow you are, and when you get fast and complacent, an atv will come around the corner and scare you again. I searched high and low for a local place to train, and it's the best I found, and it's cheap, and often vacant.
Anyway, when the time comes, look me up here if you need another pre running bike. Gotcha covered.

I hate John Jay too...
Beltran handled 6-3
2nd pitch pop fly for 3 out
Another perfect inning for Cingrani. Definitely needed after the high pitch count in the 1st. Good job.
that helped
Cingrani, cruising, Westbrook laboring.
Keep battling, boys.
"Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?" ~ Jim Bouton
It seems to take Cingrani 1-2 innings to dial it in. It costs him an inning or 2 on the end with the high pitch count.
Jay is like an annoying gnat
Choo k's 1 down

Author(s): Monoson, S. Sara

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
In this book, Sara Monoson challenges the longstanding and widely held view that Plato is a virulent opponent of all things democratic. She does not, however, offer in its place the equally mistaken idea that he is somehow a partisan of democracy. Instead, she argues that we should attend more closely to Plato's suggestion that democracy is horrifying and exciting, and she seeks to explain why he found it morally and politically intriguing.
Monoson focuses on Plato's engagement with democracy as he knew it: a cluster of cultural practices that reach into private and public life, as well as a set of governing institutions. She proposes that while Plato charts tensions between the claims of democratic legitimacy and philosophical truth, he also exhibits a striking attraction to four practices central to Athenian democratic politics: intense antityrantism, frank speaking, public funeral oratory, and theater-going. By juxtaposing detailed examination of these aspects of Athenian democracy with analysis of the figurative language, dramatic structure, and arguments of the dialogues, she shows that Plato systematically links democratic ideals and activities to philosophic labor. Monoson finds that Plato's political thought exposes intimate connections between Athenian democratic politics and the practice of philosophy.
Situating Plato's political thought in the context of the Athenian democratic imaginary, Monoson develops a new, textured way of thinking of the relationship between Plato's thought and the politics of his city.

Official Dark Souls Feedback Thread
T-minus 13 hours till I pick up my copy and I wanted to get a feedback thread started. I haven't been this excited for a game release since Ocarina of Time! So check out some of this info if you are still unaware of this masterpiece of dark fantasy action!
Early reviews (actually well written, even IGN I swear):
Eurogamer: 9/10 -
Gamespot: 9.5/10 -
Great gameplay video preview (watch the series!) with commentary and minor spoilers:
Check out this great Giantbomb Quick Look which is geared towards people who haven't played Demon's Souls:
The game contains a faction system which provides you with benefits depending on how you wish to play. For example, there is a covenant that is analogous to a police force (Darkmoon Knights) which has a "Book of the Guilty" containing the PSN or XBox Live IDs of players who have broken their own covenants. You go out bounty hunting. The Gravelord Servants can summon deadly Black Phantom monsters into a number of players' worlds, but leave a mark that, if found, allows their victims to invade en masse and kill the summoner. The covenants can even alter the shape of your body, causing you to become a skeleton, a humanoid dragon, or even sprout a flytrap-like growth which replaces your head. Covenants, along with the new Humanity system (which I'm still not clear on), replace the World and Character Tendency system from Demon's Souls. I wasn't very fond of that system to begin with so this is a welcome change in my book.
The combat and multiplayer systems return in a refined format. I'll wait to comment on them until I get the game, but from what I've seen on streams it is going to be very fun.
If you have not played Demon's Souls and are intimidated by the supposed difficulty of these games, do not be! The difficulty lies mainly in being patient, observing your surroundings, and using your resources effectively. Many people approach these as if they are hack n' slash action games, which they are not. They are difficult but not unfair. If you die it is because you made a mistake which you can correct. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of room for skill. Fights will require you to dodge and outmaneuver your enemies to kill them efficiently (I.E., without having to heal after each encounter) which requires precise timing and attentiveness. PvP combat can be even more demanding if your opponent is well equipped and has a deadly build.
The Playstation 3 version of the game is the primary development platform and the 360 version is a port with highly compressed graphics and sound. If you're on the fence between the two, I'd go with the PS3. The multiplayer matching is not region-bound so it is possible to play with players in Europe and Asia, at least on PSN.
I'll be sure to update the thread with initial impressions as I go. It is worth noting that the localization will be done by Namco-Bandai rather than Atlus this time around, so expect spelling errors and poor translation in the menus. The dialog, however, was recorded in English on the Japanese version so that will at least make sense.

William Blake
William Blake is famous today as an imaginative and original poet, painter, engraver and mystic. But his work, especially his poetry, was largely ignored during his own lifetime, and took many years to gain widespread appreciation.
The third of six children of a Soho hosier, William Blake lived and worked in London all his life. As a boy, he claimed to have seen 'bright angelic wings bespangling every bough like stars' in a tree on Peckham Rye, one of the earliest of many visions. In 1772, he was apprenticed to the distinguished printmaker James Basire, who extended his intellectual and artistic education. Three years of drawing murals and monuments in Westminster Abbey fed a fascination with history and medieval art.
In 1782, he married Catherine Boucher, the steadfast companion and manager of his affairs for the whole of his chequered, childless life. Much in demand as an engraver, he experimented with combining poetry and image in a process he invented himself in 1789, which used different ways of printing. Among the spectacular works of art this produced were 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell', 'Visions of the Daughters of Albion', 'Jerusalem', and 'Songs of Innocence and Experience'.
Although always in demand as an artist, Blake's intensely felt personal mythology, derived from radical ardour and the philosophy of the Swedish mystic Emanuel Swedenborg, led to wild mental highs and lows, and later in life he was sidelined as being close to insanity. On his deathbed, he saw one last glorious vision, and 'burst out in Singing of the things he Saw in Heaven'.[1]

Linda J. Van Eldik is the lead author of a new study detailing a new drug which displays promise in an animal model of Alzheimer's disease suggesting that administration of this drug before Alzheimer's symptoms are readily apparent may be a promising therapeutic strategy. She is available to comment on her research and general research in the field of Alzheimer's and aging. Alzheimer's disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, yet it is the only disease among the top 10 killers without a way to prevent, cure or slow its progression. The disease kills more people than diabetes, as well as more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. The recent National Alzheimer's Project Act clearly defines the rapidly growing nature of the problem and is the foundation for an evolving national plan to address this critical health and economic crisis. Part of the national effort is to test explicit hypotheses about new disease modifying therapeutic strategies.

Dancers in the Dark
If it is Swan Lake you seek, stay away from Florida International Universitys VH-100 Theater this weekend. But if it is a slice of the avant garde you crave, then the performance Falling Up, which promises to be far from your usual toe-twirling experience, may be just what the dance doctor ordered. The difficult-to-describe performance is choreographed by New York-based Heather Maloney, who will be joined onstage by South Florida dancer John Beauregard. Characters are described as sometimes disturbing and sometimes humorous, and we are assured the two will inevitably converge and repel within the ephemeral set. Although we dont know exactly what that means, it does bring to mind certain images: Crash test dummies? Spiders collecting kill? Your new squeeze who is playing hard-to-get? None of the above might actually take place onstage, but either way it does not sound traditional. If this is not enough to stroke your dramatic genie, there will also be projections, slide shows, and a sound score. Fall for it today at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Tickets range from $12 to $15. Call 305-807-7304.

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
(MCS) often results from overexposure to chemicals over a long period of time. A person with MCS can become overly sensitive to chemicals found in everyday environments. Though the reactions vary from person to person, the common reactions are nausea, lightheadedness, and respiratory distress. The Counseling & Psychological Services Center wants to be sensitive to those who report MCM/EI and suggests voluntarily maintaining environments free of chemical-based scented products.
