The Science of Shopping: Rank & Style Finds You The Best Outfit Based On Algorithms
More likely, it will mainly procure quick, high-impact results to the sort of shopper who doesn't like to pore over pages of results. For those who believe in the "tyranny of choice" theory, Rank & Style may just be your new favorite thing. As Sarika told Racked: "Our site saves people time and adds transparency in a world of overwhelming content and noise." They do this by releasing four "Top Ten" lists per week, ranking popular items in a category, based on industry, viral, and social buzz. Theoretically, this means that when you do search for "black leggings" (or faux fur vests, or what have you), you'll be getting the 10 "certified-fresh" options available. Rank & Style only launched in April, so it's too early to tell whether it's really catching on yet, but the principle is attracting attention. But, of course, they face the challenges any start-up company does — plus a few extras.
Since the site aims for total objectivity, it can't really partner up with brands or promote particular items in exchange for profit (until a brand's relevant product actually ranks on R&S, at least). Sonal says: "Whatever the data says goes, so we can't promote products. Instead, we have to figure out creative ways to partner with brands, to spread the word, and to be able to bring in revenue." Sounds like an uphill battle, but we admire the women's scientific approach to the often highly irrational, impulsive venture of shopping. That said, we're not sure we're quite ready to give up our 86 pages of "minimal trench" shopping results just yet. After all, page 74 just might reveal the destiny-altering coat of our dreams! (Racked)

Yikes! I hope she doesn't grind her teeth.

The invisibility of female skilled migrants and gender relations in studies of skilled migration in Europe.
Kofman, Eleonore (2000) The invisibility of female skilled migrants and gender relations in studies of skilled migration in Europe. International Journal of Population Geography, 6 (1). pp. 45-59. ISSN 1099-1220
Full text is not in this repository.
This paper examines the reasons for the invisibility of skilled female migrants in studies of skilled migration in Europe. The choice of research agendas has played a major part in rendering women invisible. The emphasis has generally been on transnational corporations, which, especially in their higher ranks, remain resolutely male-dominated. The presence of migrants in welfare sectors (i.e. education, health and social services), which are strongly feminised, has been ignored. Feminist research has also tended to obscure the role of skilled migrants in its emphasis on the unskilled. Theoretical and methodological developments in studies of migration have also made few inroads into our understanding of skilled migration.

Hello! I am traveling in Thailand right now and everywhere I have been in the north is extremely smokey and I am finding it unbearable. I had planned on going to Laos and Cambodia but if it is smokey there too I think I must leave SE Asia. Does anyone know what the air quality is like in these countries?

Cambodia will not be too bad, but I'd expect northern Laos to be worse than northern Thailand.

March is smog month for interior/northern SE Asia. Farmers burn their fields to prepare for rain season planting and the air gets hazy. Air quality at this time is often bad anywhere surrounded by farm fields or it can blow in from the next valley where a field is blazing. The only guaranteed escape if it's botherng your lungs/eyes is get an aircon room or head south toward the coast, or wait for rainy season which clears it up. Thankfully here in Chiang Mai we've had more than our share of quickie rains in Feb and again this evening so it's not as bad as other years (so far). Real rain usually doesn't happen until April.

It really is not too bad in Luang Prabang now and not noticeable in Vientiane at all.

Don't Grandparents have rights too?
Grandparents have rights too. DIL's need to understand their sons have families too. We are not after thoughts, we love your husband and now your child. We want and need to be part of their lives. Your family gets all the attention, what about us!!!!! One day your son (our Grandson) will marry and take a wife. Then you will understand what you have done to us. Shame on you.

Grandparents have no more right to my child than an uncle or cousin Naturally a woman will lean to her own mother/ whichever gives her support The one that doesn't will only cause more drama, think back and try to remember all the joy, adjusting etc Now imagine someone interfering and threatening your new family If you we're a wild animal you'd bd ripped to shreads Mess with your dil and rest assured she'll eventually rip you a new one Just remember you catch more flies with honey.....and let the lawyers comments replay in your mindposted 07/26/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
It sounds to me like you are mere steps away from a restraining order. If that was my MIL, you better believe I would have filed one the second you said anything about court. Your sense of entitlement to someone else's child is seriously delisional. You have no more rights than anyone else. It seems at this point that you just don't even care about your DIL, you just want her out of the way so you can take over. Can you not see how selfish you are being and that your are tossing your own son's wishes aside as well? This should be a happy time in their lives and you are ruining it for them. You are also digging your own grave - if you want to see more of your grandchild, this is not the way to go about it.posted 01/30/2012 by Quistis145
I'm gonna try to take another route in responding to this rather then responding with spite (which I initially wanted to do). Here is the reason I know I'll leave my baby alone with MY family over my husbands family- I KNOW THEM BETTER. I grew up with them, I trust them, and I know how they will handle situations. Just because you are now my MIL doesn't mean I know you are 100% capable or caring for my baby. Yes, you may be, yes you may have raised six of your own- but that means nothing to me when I think of MY new family. I need to trust my instincts first before I automatically leave my baby alone with family, extended or not- and I pick first who I trust most.posted 01/27/2012 by Lara0074
Here is my suggestion to you. My MIL does this all the time and I think it is perfect. She is retired and loves to come spend time with the kids but she always calls and asks when is it convenient for us to have her come and see the kids. In the same conversation she will say and I can do some cleaning or ironing while I am there too while the kids are sleeping of coarse because I would not want to have grandma time taken away from the kids. Offer to do something nice even doing the dishes is a great thing! I love coming home to an empty sink and supper in the oven. Try not to make it all about you and make it about them. Good luck.posted 01/17/2012 by Heather378
I can agree with this one both sides. As I share both problems in the family. First side, if you were a bad parent yourself.. why would your son or DIL trust you with their child. If you do drugs, drink, or do not have them behave as their parents would want. This may be the problem. Or maybe its your husband that is the problem. Maybe call and ask if you can visit the FAMILY? And not expect them to be just dropped off. Build a relationship... fix your problems and maybe trust will grow. Other side. My brothers wife. She was awesome. Until she got preggo. Then she lost her mind. There was a time she hung out with my parents without my brother around. Then she got preggo. And now uses the baby against everyone.... including her husband. The only time my parents get a call is when she needs money or a sitter. She asks to visit at their house, and she is made to feel unwanted. She is a great grandma. And trys with Mom. But I think she just lost her freakin mind.posted 12/29/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
There is a natural order to rights to the child. It comes down to biology. Assuming you had sole physical custody for the last 9 months, fed the child, cleaned the child comforted the child, and kept the child safe, you have rights to the child. Assuming you are still feeding the child from your own body, you have rights. The father, is a very close second to the mother. Grandparents...have to earn the rights of being around the child from the baby's sole provider and protector. My mother-in-law is one of the sweetest people on the planet. I'd love for her to be an involved grandma, but since she lives in a foreign country she won't get the chance. My mom, being local, will get this chance. And to the posters talking about tolerance. I never "tolerated" my husband's family and he never tolerated mine. Both families are loving supportive and have boundaries, so everyone actually LIKES each other.posted 12/20/2011 by ArianaLynn
None of you MIL have any rights Stop trying to CONTROL everything Be gracious for the time you are given They are not your child anymore The grandchild is NOT YOUR childposted 12/09/2011 by Mum2Tater
When a man Marry's his immediate family is his wife & child. His mother, father - etc become an extension. Respect boundaries & the time allotted to you, you are not the parents of this child - you did not bear this child. You raised your family & now it's his turn to have a family. Think back to when you were a new Mom & how hectic things must have been. Give your family the space, love & support they need & stop being an intrusive, whining nag.posted 12/09/2011 by cmurphy09
Good luck with that you have no idea you are just beginning the journey. Lol I wish I could be there to remind you of your words .....posted 11/29/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
It's always amusing to see MILs get on this thread and accuse the DILs of using their own children as a weapon against them. Really? Wow, okay. I'm not even sure why this post is still ongoing. You will never get any of these MILs to realize that what they are doing is damaging and that they will never have the relationship they want with their grandchildren b/c they think it is their "right" to see the grandkids, even if they disrespect the parents. You guys say that when we DILs become MILs we'll get it back on us...WRONG! We won't because we'll have learned from MILs like YOU and won't make those same mistakes.posted 11/29/2011 by FaerieQueenofSnark

08/27/2012 - The Power of Collaboration at Work in Los Angeles
I left Los Angeles on August 16 with both a new "I Am Home For Good" lapel pin and a new lesson in the power of collaboration.
Executive Director Barbara Poppe and I were privileged to attend the Home For Good Funders Collaborative event in Los Angeles, (previously described here) at which the funding partners announced awards to 30 nonprofit organizations. That funding totaled $105 million of public and private investments and will result in more than 1,000 people becoming stably housed in the coming year with support to remain in that housing in the years ahead. Each event attendee received an "I Am Home For Good" lapel pin honoring their support and contributions; such pins will also be provided to every person housed through the funding awards announced. The Funders Collaborative's accomplishments are truly remarkable and one important indicator of broader change in Los Angeles.
I've done work in Los Angeles previously, especially in my past roles with the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) – but it has been a few years since I was actively involved. So when I joined USICH in May, I was looking forward to the opportunity to reconnect with partners and colleagues there. Clearly, if we want to "move the needle" on homelessness nationally, making real progress in Los Angeles is essential. But Los Angeles has typically been known as a community in which divisions were stronger than shared interests and a community in which systems and jurisdictions operated in silos. It was a community that lacked both a unified vision for change and the coordination that makes such change possible.
I wasn't prepared for how changed Los Angeles would be—or that now, Los Angeles should become known across the country for its strong partnerships, its effective coordination, and its efficient leveraging of resources.
As I look at the federal, state, and local government, the private sector and philanthropy, the business community, and housing and services providers, it is clear that all sectors of the community have forged new partnerships and have developed new skills for collaboration. When I talk about Los Angeles in other communities, now I'll be able to talk about:
- The leadership from the United Way of Greater Los Angeles. Their leadership is what we at USICH hope will inspire many other United Ways across America to become more engaged in their communities' efforts to end homelessness.
- The willingness of private funders to dedicate their resources as catalysts for change and flexible partners to public resources. This Collaborative is highlighted by the steady leadership of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, but it is strengthened by an impressive array of private funders who have joined the Home For Good initiative and invested financial resources into the Funders Collaborative.
- The creativity of cross-sector and cross-jurisdictional partnerships that integrate housing and services resources in ways that other communities should be replicating. It is incredible to see the collaborative involvement of the City of Los Angeles and the City of Pasadena, the City and the County Housing Authorities, the Los Angles Housing Department, and the County Departments of Mental Health, Health Services, and Public Health all in one funding initiative.
- The many contributions federal agencies have made, including: providing guidance to Public Housing Authorities on how best to implement limited preferences in Housing Choice Voucher administration for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness; working with CSH to convene Public Housing and Continuum of Care leaders from the West Coast; developing guidance on how best to coordinate federal funding streams; and continuing to document best practices and to innovate within the implementation of the HUD-VASH program.
Truly, Los Angeles feels like a transformed community – but there's much, much more work to be done. As Barbara Poppe concluded her remarks at the Home For Good event: "To any potential partners, collaborators, or funders here who have not yet come to the table, please use today as your inspiration to join us, and help us ensure that Home For Good succeeds as the last plan to end chronic and Veterans homelessness in Los Angeles."
By continuing to expand upon this new spirit of collaboration, thousands more Angelenos will get the chance to put on their "I Am Home For Good" pins.

Go with a good dealer that you like!
Wow! It never ceases to amaze me how someone can say that is the only way to go.
You need to get the saw based on your needs not someone elses favorite brand.
If youre going to use this saw as a one for all saw and you are partial to Stihl, you would have a hard time beating the 361! But there not cheap and Husqvarna/Jonsered, RedMax, Echo, Shindaiwa, Efco and Dolmar/Makita makes some very good saws!
I had a Shindaiwa 488 (its the 490 now) for a quite a while and I dont think there is a more reliable or easier to start saw on the market.
I sold it to a friend with an option that if he ever wanted to get rid of it I get first dibs!
I now run a Dolmar PS 7900EHP and a Dolmar 5100S, soon to get the EHP added to it. I would put them against Stihl or Husqvarna any day.
If I were brand loyal to Stihl I would get a 260/660 combo for my needs but a 260/361/660 would keep any Stihl fan happy for a long time.
If Husky is the only brand that turns you on then you would want a 346xp NE with a 372 and maybe a 395 but a 372 would be enough for my needs.
I have had Huskys in the past and I believe their air filter set up is the best of any saw on the market. Of course Jonsereds are the same just different colors and ergonomics.
If a 3 cube saw will handle anything you need I would still get the pro version. The Shindaiwa 488/490 may not beat a 5100s Dolmar or a 346xp NE Husky but you cant kill them! They can be had for less than 350.00 if you look hard enough. I got my 488 for less than 300 new.
For tree work the MS200T is the one to beat! But being the best in its class cost a few extra bucks. Sometimes its worth the extra money for the best out there.
From what you said you needed any 3 cube would do what you need but look at the Shindaiwa 488 used or 490 for a saw you cant kill.
Be Honest and Trustworthy and give thanks for all you have. Life is good.
I love how people argue over saws. Its just like owning 4 wheelers or trucks same exact thing. Everyone has their own preference. To be honest with everyone loggers and tree care companies like myself, also forestry colleges in there. Companies go with the brand of saw where there's a dealer close by and where they can get 20% discounts. This varies in every town in the U.S.. Many loggers up here in northern NY use only huskys, then out west they use stihl, all depends on the deal that they get from the dealers. As for plastic parts. My Stihl Ms 192 T climbing saw is 6.5 pounds. Its wicked light, I am not going to complain cause theres alot of plastic, its light and works good for me and it's easier on the elbows in the trees. Look at the New john Deere tractors, they are all plastic. Does it make them a bad tractor no. As far as pruning goes, depends on the size of the branch, use a pole saw or hand saw. If your climbing buy a top handle arborist saw, if you just cutting firwood use a mid range saw, cause if you happen to run into a bigger limb you will have the power. The husky 346xp is a good saw and the Stihl MS 250. The husky is about $480 new and the MS 250 is about $300.00 New. For you the MS 250 would be fine for your needs, buy a 18 inch bar and your set. Another thing is every saw needs carb adjustments sometime in there life, so if you do not know anything about that, then you will run into problems and will be calling all saws junk. A little bit of mainetenace goes a long way. I own a business so my saws are cleaned every night after work and ready to go the next day.

Special to the Journal
TUPELO – Trent Hammond could be called a forward-thinking football coach.
Sure, the memorable 2013 season that included playing for the Class 6A state championship for the Tupelo Golden Wave is nice to talk about.
Postseason awards for the Tupelo coaching staff and team, like three Wave players on the roster for the MAC North/South All-Star Game, are well and good.
And Hammond still listens pleasantly when there is talk about the record-setting 2011 Amory Panthers offense, where he used to coach.
But Hammond now has both feet planted firmly on the calendar year of 2014. Everything else is just background noise.
"I told the players in the locker room to look around, that there are a lot of guys missing," Hammond said of his first speech to the 2014 Golden Wave on the first Tuesday of school this month. "They need to start preparing, and start preparing today."
Defensive rebuild
A major catalyst of success in 2013 was the quick and stingy Wave defense. Now Hammond is already trying to figure ways to shore up the loss of seven starters.
"The defensive line will have to anchor us," Hammond said. "And we'll have to push the younger defensive players to get better."
The front seven was the strength of Tupelo's title game run in its 3-4 alignment, and linemen Demarcus Rogers, Shaun Kohlheim, and Jamel Wren return. The Wave lost three of its four linebackers, leaving Justin Clifton to initially carry the leadership role there.
Tupelo also suffered major graduation losses in the secondary.
Not the case on offense, where Hammond will see nine starters returning to the roster.
They include junior to-be Daniel Bristow at quarterback, and the bulk of the offensive line including Graham Taylor, Nathan Cox, States Norman, Reed Sanders, Dillon Flanagan, London Ruth, and Chase Cannon.
"We jumped into our first week with both feet," Hammond said. "We won't be slipping up on anybody this coming season, not after you play for a state championship.
"When you get to this time of the year, you've put last season to bed."
Hammond plans for Tupelo's spring practice to probably be in April. The MHSAA allows schools 21 days to get in 15 practices.

We came home to a firetruck outside our house and the power was off. I started filming a smoking branch that broke from the weight of the snow and touched an electrical line and caught fire. Then the transformer exploded . . . wonderful fireworks. What a crazy snowy day. I'm glad our power is finally back on.

A lot of teenagers suffer from acne. While it is not fun for anybody, it may be hard for teenagers, since this is a sensitive time in life. If you want to learn about teenage acne treatment, you have come to the right place. This article contains tips on dealing with any acne problems.
Most acne in teenagers is caused by hormones. Teenagers' hormones are trying to balance out and they can wreak havoc on your skin. Many teenagers also have acne caused by skin that is not quite clean enough. This will cause dirt, debris and bacteria to seep down into your pores, clog them, irritate them and finally cause blackheads, whiteheads or pimples.
Among the best things you can do to combat acne is wash your face. You must gently wash your face each morning and night with a face wash that is made for those with acne. It will help keep the irritants down and the acne away. Once you wash your face, you should moisturize it. There are various moisturizers on the market, and many of them are made for this with acne prone skin.
It is crucial to keep your hands off of any breakouts. Never pick at or pop your pimples. Your hands on your face can add much more irritants to your skin. Furthermore, if you squeeze a pimple, you may transfer the bacteria from that pimple to a different area in your face, causing even more of a break out. And if that is not bad enough, bothering pimples can also cause scars on your skin.
When trying to prevent and manage acne, you will need to be consistent and persistent in your routine. Acne can not be healed overnight and it takes quite some time for it to stop showing up once it starts. You will need to be strict to with your routine and keep at it.

|Power Information
Control and Manipulate Fire
Hate, Fear, Anger
Elemental power
Pyrokinesis is the ability to create and/or control fire with the mind. More advanced pyrokinetics can achieve almost any effect with fire.
Firestarters and upper-level demons are best known for having this ability. Witches and Warlocks can also possess this power, but it is not as common. Firestarters are simply magical beings whose only ability is Pyrokinesis.
The most basic form of Pyrokinesis is simply the ability to set fire to or cause an object to spontaneously combust, often through a focused look or stare, though some have been known to channel the power through their hands. This is the form most demonstrated by Firestarters and demons like Cole. One example is when Christy used her pyrokinetic abilities to blow up a bottle of potion — instead of setting something ablaze or creating fire balls she heated the potion from the inside — in up mid-air by merely looking at it.
As users gain more control over their power they will be able to focus their power to form Balls of Fire. Christy, for example, could focus her pyrokinetic abilities to form fireballs, however, it took a lot of concentration. These Fireballs are not as powerful as the demonic power to create Fireballs, however, they are still extremely lethal, seeing as Billie was able to kill Christy, a powerful witch in her own right, by redirecting her fireball back at her.
As their power continues to grow, users will be able to vanquish beings thought impossible to be vanquished. A great example of this is when Billie amplified Christy's pyrokinetic abilities to a point where she was able to vanquish a demon thought impossible to be vanquished.
Billie and Christy once again used Advanced Pyrokinesis to battle the Charmed Ones. This and the combination of Charmed Ones Advanced Electrokinesis power, blows up the manor, killing Christy, Phoebe and Paige.
List of beings who use(d) PyrokinesisEdit
Original Power
Through spell, potion, power, stealing, etc.
Power Developed from PyrokinesisEdit
Optical Fire BoltsEdit
Optical Fire Bolts is the rare power to shoot fire bolts from both eyes. When Christy took in the Hollow it advanced her pyrokinetic abilities to a point where she was able to shoot fire from her eyes without getting hurt. This indicates that the power of Pyrokinesis may evolve into Optical Fire Bolts.
Related PowersEdit
Incineration is a rare and powerful ability, that, like the name suggests, incinerates someone or something.
Fireballs is the ability to create and throw balls made out of fire. Beings with the power of Pyrokinesis can create their version of fireballs, however, they are not as powerful.
Fire ThrowingEdit
Fire Throwing is the powerful and deadly ability to project jets of flame from the hands, capable of completely immolating even high-level demons.
Fire BreathingEdit
Fire Breathing is the ability to emit a powerful stream of fire from one's mouth, which is capable of vanquishing even upper-level magical beings.
Thermokinesis is the ability to mentally control and manipulate heat, encompassing the power and ability to boil and superheat things to scalding temperatures.

TABOR - The Fremont-Mills football team turned the ball over four times and could muster just 47 yards of total offense in a 48-0 loss to Treynor in Class A, District 8 football Friday.
"We talk all the time, if we don't turn the ball over we have a chance to win ball games. It's been our M.O. all season, we've turned it over way too many times," said Fremont-Mills coach Jeremy Christensen.
Treynor (7-1 overall, 5-1 in the district) turned two of the Knights' four turnovers into first-half touchdowns and allowed just nine yards rushing on 22 carries.
Council Bluffs St. Albert handed Glenwood a 23-25, 14-25, 20-25 non-conference sweep in volleyball last week.
"St. Albert is a very good team. We played very well the first game but our passing and serving didn't help us for the night. We struggled passing and serving," said Glenwood coach Kara Huisman.
The Rams (9-15 overall, 2-6 in the conference) were led by Morgan Lucy's 10 kills and 11 blocks.
Erica Schwanke added 17 assists and three aces and Chelsea Konfrst had six kills and six blocks.
STANTON – In the same fashion of a great heavyweight fight, the East Mills-Stanton football game, Friday, was full of quick hitting offense, strong defense, and possibly the district championship in the balance.
The defending district champion Vikings came into the game with a perfect 6-0 record with a winning margin averaging 40 points per game wearing their purple tops and white bottoms.
The challenger East Mills Wolverines were in their visiting whites, with a 5-1 record, only losing in an overtime slugfest with the CAM, Anita Cougars in which they lost 44-42.
Nick Uphoff passed for three touchdowns and the Glenwood defense forced five turnovers and allowed just 146 total yards in a 40-7 Class 3A, District 8 victory over Atlantic on Friday.
For the game, Glenwood gained 317 yards to Trojans' 146 and ground out 263 rushing.
Johnny Fuller led four Glenwood runners in the top 10 as the Rams took the team title at the Southern Cal-Lake City Cross Country Invitational last Tuesday.
The Rams' edged Kuemper Catholic 29 points to 35. Glenwood coach Todd Peverill knew the meet would likely be a dogfight between his team and the Knights.
The Glenwood volleybally team earned a 25-20, 25-21, 25-23 sweep victory over Creston in Hawkeye 10 Conference play on Thursday.
The Rams improved to 9-13 overall and 2-5 in the conference with the win.
"We played very well tonight," said Glenwood coach Kara Huisman. "This has been a tough week of practice and I am so proud of the way all of our girls responded. This was a complete team win and the girls deserve it.
Morgan Lucy led the Rams with 12 kills and five aces.
Chelsea Konfrst had seven kills and Cassie Stewart had five.
SIDNEY - East Mills coach Andy Irwin said it wasn't the rain Friday night that diverted his usually pass happy offense into running the ball 27 times in the second half and passing just four times.
Whatever the reason - and for the record, Irwin said it was mostly a halftime adjustment to emphasize the run in the second half - it's hard to argue with the Wolverines' success. East Mills rushed for a 168 yards and Jake Bolton threw for two scores all after halftime to hang on late for a 26-22 victory over Sidney in Eight Man, District 8 football on Friday.
Through four games of his senior season for the North Alabama University football team, placekicker Kenny Spencer is 5-of-7 on field goal attempts.
In his one year as the starting place kicker for the Glenwood football team in 2004, Spencer, then a lanky 170-pounder better known for his play on the soccer field than the football field, was 5-for-7 on field goals for the entire season.
Spencer, a 2005 Glenwood Community High School graduate has come a long way.
Rarely does a team out yard its opponent, have less turnovers and win the battle of field position and not come out with the win. But that's exactly what happened on Friday as Creston knocked off Glenwood 14-6 in Class 3A, District 8 football action.
"They made it a struggle for us," said Glenwood coach Brian Albert, whose team dropped to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in the district.
The Rams got on the board first in the first quarter when Cole Darrow picked off Luke Eblen's first pass of the game to set up Michael Lawler's 24 yard field goal.
Red Oak edged Glenwood 25-22, 25-23, 25-22 in a Hawkeye 10 Conference volleyball match to drop the Rams to 6-6 overall and 1-4 in the conference.
The Rams never trailed by more than five points in any game and lost the match by a total of eight points.

I think this guy is legitimately excited because he literally had no clue about the wii u and probably no clue about any of the newer Mario games, then this bombshell really brought back that nostalgia.

@t3gamenews I bet UBISOFT made zombiU2 and have re-branded it and ported it for these other consoles. Remember ubi had a game sat waiting already made and not released yet. So they scrap the U branding and just call it zombi - "insert subtitle here".
You know if there was a way of displaying the wii games on the wiiu menu i'd be happy, but going to wii mode then waiting forever and a day just to play a vc game just isnt worth it. I've given up on this, i guess we'll never get n64 titles on wii u natively.
@DinoFett My son wanted this game, and now i have become enthralled with it. What seemed repetitive, Suddenly changed to, "what'll happen next???"
With 100 miis and my star rating on the increase, with couples getting married having kids, then sending them off to travel to different places and come back and visit. To other peoples kids coming to stay at your campsite, it's just a fest of intrigue. Sometimes i feel like damn I'm gunna have to feed all 100 of these guys, but still wait in anticipation for that persons absolute favorite food sequence, its hilarious every time i see it. When my wife is caught in a love triangle between me and joker, it might be sheer coincidence, but its side-splittingly funny. Not everyone may enjoy the humor this game provides. When a mii gets a letter saying "meet me on the roof", only to find Captain Falcon in a lame disguise who says " I come up here when i need to fart" or something to that extent. You'll either love this game or hate it. I love it.
@Moshugan To my knowledge, every game is a separate project and entity. But it's hard to imagine they don't have a custom framework in the background running the game, just like an emulator, so who knows, maybe it is an emulator and is packaged with a ROM with a few custom tweaks to make sure it runs right, who knows.
@IxC Why do you do this to me! To be honest the first one gets me hyped, the 2nd i don't even think is real by any stretch of the imagination and the 3rd... well that footnote sounds fishy, im not buying it. I might even cry if i see an F-Zero or Starfox. Majoras mask is another one, but so much hype i get the giggles, then it's all a let down because someone dooped us. Regardless, I'm keeping my expectations low to avoid disappointment.

– Somebody forgot to tell Bloomberg that Koreans are automatons who lack creativity:
South Korea ranked first in Bloomberg's Global Innovation Index.
Lovely photo on the "Methodology" slide, too.
Financial Times' Seoul correspondent tweets that "many in S Korea would dispute this finding." The ensuring Twitter conversation is worth reading, especially TK's comments. For what it's worth, while I agree that "many in S Korea would dispute this finding," including many Koreans themselves, I myself am not really surprised Korea placed so high.
Anyway, this is going to make President Park Geun-hye very happy—she can't get through a speech without mentioning "the creative economy."
– Once again, Koreans are overreacting to a perceived historical slight, with the Korean ambassador to the United States threatening business ties with a US state.
The government of Japan urged Democrat Terry McAuliffe in late December to oppose an obscure bill in the Virginia legislature about textbooks or risk damaging the economic relationship between the two governments, according to a letter obtained Thursday by The Washington Post.
In the letter to McAuliffe before his gubernatorial inauguration, Japanese Ambassador Kenichiro Sasae urged him to oppose a measure that would require future Virginia textbooks that mention the Sea of Japan to note that it is also known as the East Sea — the name preferred by Koreans.
In his letter, Sasae said: "I worry that Japanese affinity towards Virginia could be hampered" if the measure is enacted. He noted the $1 billion in direct investment that Japan has made in Virginia in five years, the 250 Japanese companies with investments in the state and the multimillion-dollar export market in Japan for products from Virginia.
"[I] fear . . . that the positive cooperation and strong economic ties between Japan and Virginia may be damaged," he wrote.
Look on the bright side, Japan—sure, that's some seriously ham-fistedness, but it's not quite as bad as offering to plant cherry trees in a city that's largely Korean. And look at how far your diplomacy has come since the Twenty-One Demands!
– Meanwhile, in Davos, the Chinese and Japanese (admittedly, more the former than the latter) are giving us plenty of reason to be afraid, be very afraid. Read the respective rants by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on your own—I'll just reprint this chilling conclusion by The Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard:
As readers know, I have been writing about this parallel for a long time. China is exploiting incidents to test the willingness of the United States to stand behind its treaty alliance with Japan, just as Kaiser Wilhelm provoked spats to test England's willingness to stand behind its entente with France. It was a self-reinforcing process before 1914, and it is self-reinforcing now. All it takes to produce a catalyst is some "damn fool thing in the Balkans" to borrow a term.
Listening to the raw passion in the voices of Shinzo Abe and Wang Yi over the last 24 hours, I think there is an astonishing level complacency about the world's most dangerous fault-line.
As for the "damn fool thing in the Balkans" thing, "an influential Chinese professional" at Davos reportedly silenced a room by openly talking about igniting World War III:
But then he said that many in China believe that China can accomplish its goals — smacking down Japan, demonstrating its military superiority in the region, and establishing full control over the symbolic islands — with a surgical invasion.
In other words, by sending troops onto the islands and planting the flag.
The Chinese professional suggested that this limited strike could be effected without provoking a broader conflict. The strike would have great symbolic value, demonstrating to China, Japan, and the rest of the world who was boss. But it would not be so egregious a move that it would force America and Japan to respond militarily and thus lead to a major war.
Well, when the Chinese professional finished speaking, there was stunned silence around the table.
Stock up on Pepto-Bismol, folks.

Carlynton board fills vacant seats
The Carlynton school board approved two new directors Monday night after two resignations in the past month.
Monica Dugan and Marissa Mendoza-Burcham, both of Crafton, were appointed unanimously to fill the vacancies on the nine-member panel.
"We were extremely impressed with the candidates," board President David Roussos said. "It was a great problem to have."
First-term director Carl Hunt resigned effective July 31 due to a move outside of the district. Fourth-term director Betsy Tassaro submitted a letter of resignation Monday night effective immediately, citing family obligations.
Interviews were held Aug. 4 to fill Hunt's seat, and the board used the same pool of candidates to fill the second vacancy.
Director Ray Walkowiak was not present, but Roussos read a letter on his behalf resigning from the position of treasurer. The resignation was accepted.
Tassaro's resignation left an opening for board vice president. The board voted unanimously to appoint Walkowiak vice president and board member Joe Appel treasurer.
Walkowiak later joined the meeting via phone.
In other business, the board received an update on renovations from John Hayes of Thomas & Williamson, project manager for the district's renovations.
He said facade work on Carnegie Elementary is on schedule, and work inside and out should be mostly completed by the start of school Sept. 2.
At Crafton Elementary, administrative offices have been moved, and flooring, lighting and classroom work are expected to be completed on time as well.
"Right now, it's crunch time," Hayes said. "But it looks like there will be no issues getting students in in time."

Halle Wins Right to Take Daughter Along While Making Cheesy Movie
Halle Berry just won the first legal round in her incredibly ugly custody battle with ex Gabriel Aubry. TMZ reports a judge has given the Oscar winner the go-ahead to take 2-year-old Nahla to New York with her while she films "New Year's Eve."
Berry had originally pulled out of the film in order to duke it out with Aubry, who opposed the move, and her role ended up going to Katherine Heigl (that's gotta smart). She's now set for a different part in the flick, which is a sequel to the execrable but moneymaking "Valentine's Day."
After hearing arguments Wednesday morning from both parties, the judge sided with the actress. "We are pleased the judge took the time to deal with this very imminent and important issue," says her lawyer. "Halle is very pleased with the judge's order."
TMZ says Aubry has also withdrawn his custody petition, which is part of the public record, in favor of a private paternity filing.

Burlington School District has hired Da Verne Bell as its new director of diversity education and engagement beginning in late October.
Bell worked as a diversity director for 16 years in Tacoma and Vancouver, Washington, where she led diversity and inclusivity training for faculty, staff and students, according to a Burlington School District press release.
She has a doctorate in educational leadership from Seattle University with a cognate focus in organizational development, human resources and adult education, according to Jeanné Collins, superintendent of Burlington School District. Bell also has a master's degree in public administration and a bachelor's degree in psychology.

"My personal mission and passion is to facilitate cultural awareness and acceptance and to help develop an educational and community climate that creates and sustains a commitment to equity and social justice, promotes democratic citizenship, and develops students with a competitive edge," Bell stated in the press release.
Bell is taking a position that had been vacant since the death of Director of Diversity Education and Engagement Dan Balón in January.
Collins said that Bell will receive an annual salary of $90,000.

Over the last decade, patent litigations launched by "patent trolls" have increased from approximately 3% of all patent litigations filed to over 17%. This session will analyze this issue and offer detailed recommendations to reduce exposures to "patent trolls," including the role of AST and OIN in reducing such threats.
Keith Bergelt is the chief executive officer of Open Invention Network (OIN), the collaborative enterprise that enables innovation in open source and an increasingly vibrant ecosystem around Linux. In this capacity he is directly responsible for enabling, influencing and defending the integrity of the Linux ecosystem. Central to the achievement of his goals is the acquisition and transfer of patent rights designed to permit members of the Linux ecosystem to operate free of the threat of assertion and litigation from those whose business models are antithetical to innovation and global economic growth in information technology and computing.
Prior to joining the Open Invention Network, Mr. Bergelt served as president and CEO of two Hedge Funds – Paradox Capital and IPI – formed to unlock the considerable asset value of patents, trademarks and copyrights in middle market companies. Paradox and IPI were the first Funds of their kind to offer specialty lending products supported exclusively by intellectual property. Driven by Mr. Bergelt's creativity and entrepreneurial approach, these funds enabled the emergence of patents, trademarks and copyrights as a viable source of collateral in asset-based loans, forever reshaping the emerging IP Finance landscape.
During Mr. Bergelt's stewardship of these IP-based lending activities, he raised more than $300 million dollars and financed portfolio companies of private equity firms including Texas Pacific Group, Kelso & Co., JH Whitney, Weston Presidio, Goode Partners, Palladium Capital and Castanea Partners, among others.
Previously, Mr. Bergelt served as a senior advisor to the technology investment division at Texas Pacific Group. He also headed business development, intellectual property and licensing for the Kelso & Company portfolio company Cambridge Display Technology in the United Kingdom. Additionally, he established and served as General Manager of the Strategic Intellectual Asset Management business unit at Motorola Corporation and served as Motorola's director of Technology Strategy.
Mr. Bergelt was a co-founder of the Intellectual Property Advisory Practice within the Electronics and Telecommunications Industry group at SRI Consulting in Menlo Park, California.
Prior to his extensive private sector experience, Mr. Bergelt served for twelve years as a diplomat with postings at the United Nations in NY and the American Embassy in Tokyo, Japan where he was involved in the negotiation of IP rights protection in Asia.
Mr. Bergelt holds an Artium Baccalaureus degree from Duke University, a Jurist Doctorate degree from Southern Methodist University School of Law and a Masters of Business Administration degree from Theseus Institute in France. He is a frequent speaker on corporate strategy, finance and intellectual property management.
Daniel McCurdy is CEO of Allied Security Trust, where he is responsible for patent acquisition, divestiture and global expansion of the Trust's membership. Previously, Dan was founder and CEO of ThinkFire, President of Intellectual Property at Lucent Technologies, and a Vice President of IBM.

|Bama , that would be Andrew Jackson that had the quote on spelling . It seems that it gets quoted in different ways but has the same meaning . The way I heard it first was "it's a damned poor man that can only spell a word one way. " I used that and another quote by an English historial Eileen Powers on the writing of 13th Century England to explain my spelling program to the parents of my first graders at back to school night after I attended several workshops on spelling
Since then I have also read Bell Wiley's Johnny Reb where he has a chapter on writing and spelling and a list of often mispelled words that the soldiers had in their letters.
Larry McMurtry has a book of essays on the West called Sacagawea's Nickname . In one of the Essays on Lewis and Clark he talks about Clarks's struggle to spell the word Sioux. Clark spelled it 22 different ways.
He discribes Clark's struggle with spelling thus, "Clark was one of the most difiant, as well as most inventive spellers ever to attempt to use the English Language . . . . Despite his constant disregard for all orthographical rules Clark is never unclear; he is just exercising his right as an American to say things his own way.
I love reading these kinds of quotes as I have never been a good speller and after reading first graders spelling for almost 30 years I am never sure how a word should be spelled.
By the way the book and the workshop I attended on spelling was called Spel is a Four Letter Word.

During an interview on the blue carpet of the "Young Hollywood Awards 2014" , which took place in Los Angeles California, singer Cody Simpson, who has worked with Justin Bieber in the studio for some time , gave some hints about what fans can expect from his collaboration with Bieber.
According to Cody, fans will have "more than a song" and despite not having gone into detail, the singer of "Neck Kisses" also said that the production should be launched later this year. Check out the video:
Cody : Yeah I got some words that I speak. Justin and I have been in the studio last two weeks, so we're working on something really cool. So I'm excited that we're doing it today. It has a good atmosphere in the air. He brought the girl from the Make-A-Wish here, which is something very beautiful. Her name is Grace and she is there. And I will deliver to the coolest prize Bieber, talk about it and what we do for social causes and everything else. It's pretty cool

A cursory look at the top of the automobile market would suggest that the world's carmakers are gunning it full steam ahead into a new stratosphere of ultra-luxury and high-performance utility vehicles. After all, companies like Bentley and Maserati are preparing to launch their very first crossovers, while established players like Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover keep producing ever more expensive sport-utes of their own. But that's not the case across the board.

Even Microsoft is recommending that XP users just scrap their PC's and start over with a new one pre-loaded with Windows 7 when it comes out this Fall.
"If you're running Windows XP, or any other operating system for that matter, we recommend that you experience Windows 7 on a new PC...And while we don't recommend it, should you choose to upgrade your current PC from Windows XP or another operating system to Windows 7, we recommend that you get help with this process from your local computer service provider."- Microsoft's Windows XP upgrade advisor page
Did you read what I read?
- "We recommend that you experience Windows 7 on a new PC"
(subtext: Because the PC makers are really, really fed up with us and the least we can do is encourage you to throw them some business to make up for the sales drought known as Vista)
- "And while we don't recommend it"
(Subtext: Referring to upgrading your current PC from XP to Windows 7, we're not kidding. This is more than just throwing a bone to Dell, HP and everyone else who's mad at us.You really will be ewed-scrayed if you try to upgrade from XP to Windows 7.)
- "We recommend that you get help with this process from your local computer service provider."
(Subtext: If you are crazy enough to try, at least get help! Given that a so-called easy upgrade from Microsoft usually requires a degree in software engineering, several evenings of uninterupted hours of quality time on the phone with tech support and lots and lots of Xanax; one can only imagine what is involved in an upgrade they deem too difficult to do on your own.)
Countdown to October 22nd!

GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) -- A teenager who prosecutors say confessed to killing a 10-year-old Westminster girl and attacking a runner has been charged as an adult in both cases.
Prosecutors filed 17 counts against Austin Sigg on Tuesday, including murder, robbery and sexual assault on a child.
Sigg didn't speak during the hearing and didn't look at his relatives in the courtroom in Golden.
Eight relatives of Jessica Ridgeway also watched proceedings, including her mother. Each wore purple, Jessica's favorite color.
Defense attorneys anticipate asking that the case be sent back to juvenile court.
