RONA gift cards are perfect as corporate gifts, employee awards, sales incentives and more!Corporate gift card
Put your best china or decorative plates on display in this classic open-concept cabinet.
Measuring 40"W by 84"H but only 6 ¼"D, this cabinet will enhance your dining room without taking up too much space. The back is made using MDF beadboard, and a cove-type moulding is used to hold plates in position. Once the pieces are cut, the cabinet is relatively easy to assemble; use screws for the main components and nails for the finishing trim.
MDF is a versatile material that makes it easy to build strong, sturdy and affordable furniture. It is advisable to always glue the parts together with wood glue before fastening them with nails or screws. If the nails or screws do not provide enough strength, use clamps to hold the assembly together while the glue dries.
Screw fastening:
Always drill pilot holes using a countersink bit, with the pieces in their final assembled position. This will prevent the MDF from buckling or splitting under the torque of the screws. In one motion, the countersink bit bores a hole for the body of the screw as well as a cavity to conceal the screw head. You can use a driver-drill to do this, but it is advisable to finish tightening the screws with a manual screwdriver to prevent the driver-drill's speed and force from damaging the MDF and weakening the screw's grip.
Nail fastening:
For some projects it is best to use finishing nails. In such cases, using a pneumatic nailer will get the job done more quickly and easily, and the nails will hardly show.
Important note:
Always wear a protective mask when cutting or sanding MDF as the dust can be irritating and is a potential health hazard. Work outside if you can; if this is not possible, close any air vents and doors leading to other rooms so as to prevent the dust from spreading. Open a window while you work and cover all items in the room with dust sheets. Vacuum once you have finished cutting.

Other than the fact that the Flames are back on a 1 game winning streak and now in sole possession of first place in the NW division, I can't really take too much pleasure in a 4-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings tonight.
Sure, the Flames regained a bit of their scoring touch. Sure, they outshot their opponents 38-24. Sure, they won 4-1 moving them 2 points ahead of the Canucks atop the NW division. And sure… they gave themselves a chance to secure 3rd place in the West with a regulation win in Vancouver tomorrow night… but it was against the Los Angeles Kings. Dare I say it… the "lowly" Los Angeles Kings.
A smashing victory is to be expected when you play a young team that is currently tuning up their golf clubs to get ready for the next 6 months on the golf course.
If the Flames had lost tonight (like the Canucks did in Edmonton last night) I would be very concerned and would seriously consider sounding the "we're going out in the first round, again" alarm…
…But I'm not.
Despite the fact that the Flames had 2 five-on-three powerplays and still did not score a powerplay goal, it was good to see Jarome Iginla light-it-up with his game-winning 34th goal of the season. It was also nice to see Mike Cammalleri team-up for 2 assists to get himself back on track. This is necessary heading into the post-season as it gives the Flames' big guns some more confidence.
What was even more enjoyable as a Flames fan was to see the Flames players with smiles on their faces while they sat on the bench. They actually seemed to be having fun again while they were leading.
There has been too much seriousness in the Flames team lately and not enough confident play; not enough of what the Carolina Hurricanes have in their dressing room. In the past 10 games the Flames have been lacking the "we're unstoppable" attitude which has caused them to lose too many games. And the Flames only have 3 more games to get their confidence back before every win counts.
Some highlights in tonight's game included David Moss' 20th goal of the season (way to go Mosser!!) and Jim Vandermeer's first-ever goal as a Calgary Flame.
The Flames now head to Vancouver to take on the Canucks for the NW division title and home-ice advantage in the playoffs. A regulation win will give the Flames 1st place in the NW division for the playoffs. Puck drop is 8pm tomorrow night.

Explore Nova Scotia's beauty beyond the limits of the HRM. Find out the possibilities for adventure and culture at NovaScotia.com.
For those coming to King's from abroad, learn more about Canada's education system and student visa information at Education in Canada.
For many new students at King's, Halifax is a new home. Worry not—this city will welcome you as quickly as the College.
The majority of our students call locations outside of this city, province and country home. As they discover each corner of the King's campus, they also begin to uncover the beautiful place that houses their new school—that is, if they venture beyond the Quad.
It's not an exception that a student makes it to graduation without fully exploring Halifax, as the convenience and tight-knit community found at King's is enough to keep our students glued to the campus for their time here at the College. But we urge students to extend their experience as undergraduates out into the city, as Halifax, too, has a vibrant and refreshing culture to offer.
In the same way the College blends its intimate community with the seemingly endless possibilities at Dalhousie, Halifax has successfully achieved a balance between small town charm and the big city experience. Brimming with institutions for higher learning, thriving local businesses, and a rich arts and music scene, Halifax is alive with an intellectual and creative energy that quickly fills up the city's collective calendar with events and activities. This lively attitude is complemented with the warmth of a community where a barista learning your "regular" by heart, running into friends on the street, or finding a niche perfectly cut for your talents is more than just a possibility. Halifax's modest size also means its citizens aren't afraid to spark spirited initiatives and events, and dive into courageous career paths and projects, all with the knowledge and motivation that their impact will be measureable.
Housing this community spirit is a port city whose streets, boardwalks and pathways will captivate you again and again. Each neighbourhood, rubbing elbows with the next, embodies a unique aesthetic: from the candy-coloured townhouses of the North End to the wrapping decks and patios of the South End; from the canopied trees of the West End, to the lofts, chic condos and renovated heritage homes of the downtown core.
At the base of it all is the Halifax Waterfront, a place that comes to life with the annual Busker Festival, alFresco filmFesto, visits from the Tall Ships, tented concerts and the lure of warm nights by the water. Right nex tdoor is the Halifax Brewery, home to the Halifax Farmers' Market, a much-loved Saturday morning destination stuffed with musicians, crafts, fresh local produce and familiar faces.
Halifax's pubs, eateries, boutiques and coffee shops, populating the busy downtown streets and bleeding up toward the universities and out toward the art-soaked North End, make up a community of their own. Many supporting local products (from brews to designs), these inviting spots will become your hangouts and your havens, providing background to study sessions, retail therapy, meals with friends and nights on the town.
Pack your thermos, throw in a few books, grab a friend and explore. Halifax awaits you—and you'll be back to the Quad soon.

Charlotte Leone brushes aside her misgivings about her husband's lack of family ties and long-standing friendships until the day he unexpectedly vanishes, opening a door into a horrifying past of international terrorism in Jasmine Cresswell's riveting romantic thriller, Dead Ringer. A master of disguise, the man Charlotte knew as Riordan Gray is actually Daniel O'Toole, a leader of the Army of Armargh, an ultraradical Irish terror group. Thinking she's escaping the trauma of her brief marriage by moving from Iowa to Florida, Charlotte instead is caught up in a deadly game between the Armargh group and FBI officials, where there's no one to trust except the mysterious Rick Villier. Jasmine Cresswell's diplomatic background and knowledge of international intrigue enhance her storyteller's gift for a fast-paced tale of high adventure and passion.
Sandy Huseby writes and reviews from her homes in Fargo, North Dakota, and northern Minnesota.

Best pant ever
I have been wearing this fit of pant from Roxy for two years now. Slim fit but not super tight. Perfect length and fit. Im 5'6 115 lbs and Medium fits perfect. Has some stretch too!
These Pants are awesome!
I am absolutely in love with these pants. They have such a great fit and are really warm. The cut on them is so great, and the fact that they have 3% spandex makes them perfect for me. I went from baggy pants to fitted and these have made that transition so great. These are super flattering and with the spandex, my freedom of movement is not compromised. If you want pants that look great, let you shred hard, and are warm n durable, go with these pants! I recommend sizing up if you are between sizes, they are a slim fit!
These pants are awesome! They're probably the best fitting and most flattering pants Roxy offers. They're a slim fit and they remind me of Holden. I'm 5'2 and size 5 with junk in the trunk and a small fits beautifully. They are WARM! I got my Torah bright pants back in March so I was able to ride some powder in em and they were just wonderful in keeping my bum toasty warm. I'd definitely recommend these pants!
Would you be able to tell me if these are insulated? and if there's some sort of fleece liner inside?
These are SUPER insulated.. the fleece is cushy but a bit thick for my taste. I was toasty warm trying them on in the store! If you board in colder climates, these would be great, but DEFINITELY too warm for spring riding. They are cut narrower and longer for a perfect Junior's fit.

About a week ago (I just noticed it today) a documentary about the murder of Queen Min aired – unfortunately I didn't get a chance to see it and was wondering if anyone did. This documentary was also discussed in The Chosun Ilbo. I know this is a subject that comes up a lot, especially in late September and early October, but I am doing some research on this particular subject and am always looking for more information and opinions.
According to the article: "The motivation behind the showing of the program (the original 2005 documentary) was to let people know the buried history between Korea and Japan at a time when Japanese interest in Korea is high due to the influence of the Korean Wave." The new documentary includes apologies from the descendants of some of the assassins and according to Kim Yong-woon, the head of the Korea-Japan Cultural Exchange Council: "The film will cause enormous repercussions in Japan because it squarely deals with a historical event that is regarded in Japan as something that never happened, and portrays descendents of the assassins visiting Korea and apologising."
Not only was she murdered but, according to some historians, she was sexually violated even as she lay mortally wounded. According to a Japanese historian, Fusako Tsunoda, writes: "After many years, one of the assailants confessed that they violently slashed and committed unspeakable atrocities on the body of the empress." What were these unspeakable atrocities? Henny Savenije, translated part of Prof. Choe Mun-hyung's book depicting the attack:
"Meanwhile the masterless samurai (Nangin pae), forcing court ladies and Crown Prince Yi, reconfirmed the identity of the dead body of the queen, and just before doing this, under the influence of alcohol, they did not hesitate to perform barbaric deeds that appear to be raping the dead body."
I found it interesting that the Choson Ilbo pointed to Kaoru Inoue as one of the planners of this violent assassination. I don't have my notes with me but if memory serves me he was replaced by Goro Miura (who was part of the plot) as Minister to Korea about a month before the attack. The material I am working on seems to indicate that Inoue had nothing to do with it – in fact, most of the books I have read seem to point to Miura as the main instigator of the attack and that the Japanese government had little knowledge of what he was planning. I am surprised that Inoue Kakugoro (spelling?) does not get more notorioty for his role in not only Queen Min's assassination but also the Kapsin Coup attempt. Inoue Kakugoro was one of the early designers and writers for the oldest Korean newspapers, "Hanseong Shinbo" established by Pak Yong-ho. He was also an advisor for the Korean Foreign Office.
It seems that this first Korean newspaper and its past is not exactly viewed by the Choson Ilbo in favorable light. According to its article some of the men responsible for Queen Min's murder were "a group of men with ties to the Hanseong Shinbo, the de facto organ of the then Japanese colonial government in Korea…" The Japanese colonial government in 1895?

University of Bath gives autistic teenagers a taste of student life
Posted: December 19, 2013|
A group of sixth formers who are on the autistic spectrum have attended an event at the University of Bath to learn more about being students.
The How Accessible is the University? sessions were held at the end of November and were designed to explore how easy it is for young people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to enter higher education.
The students, from Midsomer Norton Sixth Form and Norton Radstock and Wiltshire Colleges, are considering Higher Education and took full advantage of the opportunity to experience "university life".
A session on mathematical sciences was delivered by senior lecturer Dr Geoff Smith, who set the students a series of problems in order to give them a "taste" of studying maths at university.
Participants also heard from senior psychology lecturer Dr Mark Brosnan, who invited them to a virtual university campus using Second Life.
Through online avatars which students can create, Dr Brosnan demonstrated how virtual worlds can support communication and learning to help those with ASD become familiar with their new territory providing an element of reassurance.
Current PhD student Simon O'Kane, who has a similar medical condition, provided an insider's view of life at the university for students with ASD.
He shared his worries and concerns prior to joining the university and outlined the wide range of student and academic support which contributed to the success of his student experience.
Mr O'Kane said: "I initially came to Bath from Rochdale to study an MPhys physics degree and I'm now in the final year of my PhD in electronic and electrical engineering.
"During my time here I've been involved in all areas of academic life and student life, including for RAG, which has enabled me make new friends. Academic staff have been a massive help to me too. The support I've been given has really helped me to succeed.
"My student experience has really helped me to turn my life around."
Dr Iryna Withington, transition officer for the widening participation office, advised potential students that it was crucial they disclosed their medical conditions and disabilities on their UCAS application.
She said: "Simon is an excellent role model and fine example of what students can achieve regardless of their circumstances but it's really important that we're aware of conditions faced by students so we can support them in the best way possible."
This is the second event the university has run specifically for students with ASD and Dr Withington said they were proving successful.
She said: "Both events have been well received and have achieved their overall objective of helping these students feel more comfortable about going to university.
"They also provide the university with another platform to access the needs and concerns of students with ASD so that we can reduce and where possible, remove any negative impact upon their student experience and where necessary, provide additional support."

To assess the sensitivity of the biotope, the sensitivity of component species is reviewed. Those species that are considered to be particularly indicative of the sensitivity of the biotope, and for which research has been undertaken in detail are shown below (see selection criteria). The biology of other component species of the biotope is also taken into account wherever information is known to the researcher.

This biotope is dominated by the erect bryozoan Flustra foliacea, which if lost would result in loss of the biotope as described. The biotope is characterized by a faunal turf of hydroids and bryozoans. Although, loss of a single species may not be detrimental, loss of the bryozoan/ hydroid turf would result in degradation of the community, and potentially loss of the biotope as described. Therefore, Nemertesia ramosa has been included to represent Nemertesia species and other hydroids, while Bugula turbinata has been included to represent Bugula species and other seasonal bryozoan species. The soft coral Alcyonium digitatum is included to represent the sensitivity of large epifauna and, together with Urticina felina, the sensitivity of anthozoans. Sebens (1985, 1986) demonstrated that predators, especially by sea urchins, were an important factor structuring epifaunal communities, therefore, Echinus esculentus has been included as important functional. The sensitivity of ascidians has been represented by Molgula manhattensis and the sensitivity of sponges by Halichondria panicea.
The Flustra foliacea dominated biotopes support a large number of sessile, interstitial, and mobile cryptofauna. The species richness varies between sub-biotopes. For example the MNCR identified 183 species in MCR.Flu, 378 species in MCR.Flu.Flu, 664 in MCR.Flu.HByS, 305 in MCR.Flu.Hocu, and 594 in MCR.Flu.SerHyd (JNCC, 1999). It should be remembered that the above numbers are probably underestimates and that not all species occur in all instances of the biotope. However, the above estimates of species richness give an indication of the biodiversity of circalittoral faunal turf habitats.

1. The one-dimensional equation solver, PROgram for Boundary layers in the Environment, was used to simulate the temperature structure of Lake Erken, a medium-sized Swedish lake, assuming differing extinction coefficients for a series of modelled years driven by observed meteorological data and by a set of idealized meteorological data.
2. Results suggested that, as expected, larger extinction coefficients initially led to surface waters becoming warmer. The reverse was true late in the summer, however, as the warming induced by greater absorption of solar radiation was outweighed by the cooling effects of entrained colder hypolimnetic water.
3. There was between a two- and fourfold inter-annual variation in the effects on key physical lake parameters, induced by changing extinction coefficient, such as maximum heat flux, heat content and Schmidt stability.
4. The change in surface heat flux induced by a change in extinction coefficient was up to almost 50 W m−2.
5. In the summer, changes in extinction coefficient from 0.5 to 0.2 m−1 led to a dramatic shift in the duration of the stratified period as well as to enormous changes in Schmidt stability and hypolimnetic temperature.
6. Future changes to extinction coefficients of small and medium-sized lakes are likely to have wide-ranging effects on lake thermal structure and ecology.

D.C. Defunds Youth Courts Forcing Adult Trials for Juveniles
The criminal justice system has historically accounted for youthful indiscretions and offenses through its juvenile court system. Defendants under the age of 18 and charged with a crime have been able to enter diversionary and reintegrating programs rather that the adult justice system. In the juvenile justice system, courts focus on rehabilitation to get young offenders through treatment programs and other educational opportunities to get them back on their feet and headed in the right direction.
Unfortunately, D.C. has begun systematically defunding the juvenile justice system, which is pushing young offenders into the adult system. This can result in more severe penalties for offenders and reduce the opportunities for reintegration and rehabilitation. Our Washington D.C. juvenile defense attorneys are experienced with providing strategic counsel and advocacy for offenders throughout the area. We are committed to providing result-driven advocacy focused on our clients' rights and interests.

Soleil now plz,
Win game is win.
Now I have a use for the fiver my Dad randomly gave me. Wii Points FTW!
Give me Soleil and my Virtual Console wants are complete.
"I am a better man than you."
Secret of Mana taking its time to be released on the EU VC doesn't bother poor, broke me, =S
I want GB VC releases so I can download Robopon, :B
Wow. This appeared fast. Wasn't it only recently announced for a VC release in Japan?!
Hopefully we'll get it relatively soon. Not too soon though, as I can't afford it, =P
Dynamite Headdy is a brilliantly fun game with a quirky yet lovable sense of humour. I have many fond memories of it from my childhood, and would happily (and have in fact been wanting to) purchase it for the VC were I to have the Wii Points to do so.
Who said they were all sleeping?
Sadly though, I'm out of Wii Points, ;_;
Which is a shame, as BOMBERMAN!!! DO WANT NAO!!!
ZOMFG, Rexy complimented something,
Ys - DO WANT. Sadly, I be skint,
Wow, so it's true, the Internet simply cannot survive without hate. First, people hate on Nintendo for not releasing SMRPG for the VC, and now people are hating on the haters for having hated now that they have it.
I also find it amusing just how many people are jumping on the 'People who like Nintendo games and nothing else deserve to be hated' bandwagon. Baa,
I'll just continue waiting patiently for Soleil,
@ Adol: Oh I like Zelda alright. I absolutely ADORE Zelda. I think I'll almost certainly give Ys a go once I have the money.
I read the preview blurb for this update on the main page and was wondering which Squeenix RPG had been let loose in Japan this time, and then I recognised the screenshot and uttered a tasteful 'Holy ...'.
I don't know anything about these Ys games, although they do intrigue me, so maybe I'll be making my first TurboGrafx-16 purchase at some point in the near-future, =O
Week doesn't interest me (although Dig Dug looks kinda' funky from the screenshots) and I only have 100 Wii Points.
The next game on my 'I won't be satisfied 'til I get it' list is Soleil. Americans might know it as Crusader of Centy. Nostalgia rawks, :3
@ Pocketim: I'm lost in the Forest Maze, XD
The GBA/DS remakes are definitely worth a shot if you're after a serious RPG. FFIV is considerably more difficult than V and VI, and VI is my favourite of the three. I haven't played the DS remake of III enough to really be able to comment on it, although graphically it's beautifully reminiscent of FFIX, :3
If you have access to the DS remake of FFIV then that's a champion choice if you ask me. Either way, the remakes are the best of the bunch. Sans FFIX, the Final Fantasy games from VII onwards begin to decline in compairson to VI and earlier if you ask me.
Well, when you base a game around Mario, you can't let it become too dark due to the fact that then it becomes uncharacteristic of the franchise. I agree that SMRPG is more of an 'entry level' RPG, but it's definitely less of one than Mystic Quest, which quite literally spoon-fed you everything (then again, despite the fact that I'll probably be stoned for this, I actually find Mystic Quest to be quite a fun little RPG to play).
What does it for me with regards to SMRPG is just the overall look and feel of the game. Sure, it's nowhere near as deep as any of the Final Fantasy games, but it was great to see a well-built RPG based around a series of characters that we all know and love already. After all, it not being revolutionary doesn't stop it from being well-built, =P
The graphics are lovely, especially when you take into consideration what console this was originally for, and the dialogue is witty and zany enough to lure out a laugh or two every now and then.
I think the main problem people have is that they're looking for a serious RPG to play, and so when they see that this isn't such an RPG, they ignore it and go for something else. However, if you're just looking for a game which is well-made and fun to play, then this game is definitely a champion choice. It all depends on whether you want to play a game for fun, or to become embroiled in a deep plot. There's nothing wrong with either, but that, as I see it, is where this game stands.
BTW, I'm lost in the Forest Maze, XD
I keep following Geno but then he disappears, =S
And I don't want to use an FAQ, 'cause I'd feel dirty, XD
@ Mickeymac: It's a bit unfair to warn other people away from the Final Fantasy games just because you don't like them, =/
That's like me trying to convince everyone not to play anything with 'WWE' in the title, =S
@ Digiki: Actually, I always thought that FFVI was *under*glorified. Everyone just faps over FFVII, =/
(Not that FFVII isn't awesome, but it's HIGHLY overrated.)
In the Forest Maze. WHAT A TUNE! <3
Aye, the announcement in the Wii Shop Channel for this Hanabi Festival specifically stated that The Lost Levels is here to stay, as is everything else that is released.
With regards to the Final Fantasy discussion, may I first point out that declaring which game is the 'best' is stupid, as you're making out as though what you say is fact, when it's just an opinion.
My FAVOURITE Final Fantasy game is VI, just because it's aesthetically pleasing, it has characters you actually give a damn about, the character diversity is good (as opposed to SOME Final Fantasy games #coughXandXIIcough#), and there's a lot to do outside of the main quest (especially if you're playing the GBA remake).
The other podium places probably go to IX and V. IX because it's the ONLY 3D Final Fantasy game that returns to the SNES formula, and it works FANTASTICALLY, and V because I heart job systems and V's is beautiful in its simplicity. Plus, V's plot rawks, :3
As for SMRPG, I'm not saying that those who hate on it can't do so, as that would be stupid, but after reading all of the negative comments regarding it, it kinda' makes me feel bad for liking it. I mean, it's fair enough to not like it, but to make the people who do like it feel bad for liking it kinda' sucks, =/
Now that I've got my precious SMRPG, I'm not sure what to look forward to next on the VC, so I guess I'll just leave it be and see what crops up, =D
And for anyone who's interested, I've just entered Rose Town, :3
I've just immolated Croco, :3
Oh my Christ am I happy, <3
The button layout is fine. 'Run' is still in a bit of an arsey position (as on the SNES, it's Y, and 'Jump' is B, which isn't ideal on a GameCube controller), however, it's nowhere near as annoying as it is on Super Mario World.
Besides, IT'S SUPER MARIO RPG! I DON'T CARE!
I think I'll go and teach Mack a lesson before heading off to bed, >:3
Oh... my... God...
SCREW GOING TO SLEEP! (Sets his Wii up and downloads IMMEDIATELY.)
When I theorised to myself that another Hanabi Festival might start today, I thought it was just wishful thinking. I DIDN'T KNOW I'D BE RIGHT!
I'm... so... happy, ;_;
In which case it's January '09, lol.
I'm still going for the bi-annual theory, at least until September rolls along and it's dashed, =P
After all, I wouldn't be surprised if it was simply a case of Nintendo thinking 'We'll give you a Hanabi Festival when we feel like it', =S
@ Stuffgamer1: Thank God your reasoning for not liking the N64 FPSs has nothing to do with the graphics. I hate people who question my love for Final Fantasy VI just because it's 2D, yet they fap on a near-constant basis over Final Fantasy VII which is blockety-blocksville with added blocks.
This has probably been said here a million times already, but this isn't Nintendo's fault. They're the guys who would love to release this game for the Virtual Console, but it's a case of 'we would if we could but we can't'. Basically just put up or shut up.
@ Lynx: Well, the last Hanabi Festival was in May, so if they're every seven months then the next one isn't due 'til December.
I only suspect September due to the fact that they could quite feasibly be bi-annual. After all, just because something is as such, it doesn't mean that the months have to be exactly six apart, =P
Just mindless banter from moi.
I still have my N64 and copy of Goldeneye, so I'm not really all that arsed. Besides, Perfect Dark airstrikes it, =P
(It's just a shame that future James Bond games were alright (I rather enjoyed Agent Under Fire and Nightfire), whereas I've heard that Perfect Dark Zero is terrible (I haven't seen it played personally though).)
Although none of these games interest me, I acknowledge this release as being a fair bit better than what has been given to us recently. Maybe this is a sign that things are about to get better, =O
Or not, as is most likely the case, XD
BTW, although this is off-topic...
The first Hanabi Festival was in September, and the second in May. Does anyone reckon that the same pattern will be used each year? If so, then the VC release after next could be veeery interesting...
Corporate BS? In MY Wii!? It may be truer than you think...
Not that it's my Wii, as this was an American release, although I'm sure that most Americans feel thusly, so it's all good.
If only we all weren't so tempted to check online for news. We couldn't be disappointed if we didn't know what was supposedly coming, =P
Fail week is fail.
Back in two weeks, =]
The Lost Vikings... Goddamn nostalgia, <3
It's Monday for me now, and when it's Monday for America, I do hope that you guys get this game for the Virtual Console, 'cause if you do, then that'll surely mean that the European release will follow. Only time will tell. Good luck!
@ Bass X0 about seven miles up the page:
That was just my opinion. I wasn't stating it as fact. I even said 'In my eyes' in the bit that you quoted. Your response seemed a wee bit too antagonistic if you ask me, =/
And @ what is contained within the seven miles of text:
lol wut?
Re: The talk of beat-'em-ups further up
Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Street Fighter Alpha 3. Tekken Tag Tournament. In my eyes, everything else can sod off.
These three games are the last of their respective series before they got crap.
Re: The above VC release
I don't mean to sound like a whining SMRPG fanboy here, but take into account the fact that I'm not hoping for SMRPG over everything else because it's at the top of my Virtual Console wish list, I'm hoping for it because it's the only game on my Virtual Console wish list for the time being. I want it because I consider it to be an epic game that Europe was sadly deprived of, and all Virtual Console releases will be varying degrees of disappointing to me until I get the one and only game I want. It's why I haven't really said all that much about recent VC releases. I mean, why bother commenting on something when it will always be a complaint? =P
I'm not saying that the above games are crap or anything, I'm just saying that they don't float my boat.
On reflection, I'm basically just reiterating what Rexy has been saying for weeks, but it has been my stance pretty much the whole time. As I said two weeks ago when SMRPG didn't appear in the midst of everyone going nuts over it, I wasn't, and continue not to be particularly arsed about it. Yes, I want it very much, but yes, I can survive until then (especially due to the fact that Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is very rapidly reeling me in).
The above rant was brought to you out of the blue and for no reason whatsoever.
Good day, =)
(Goes to play Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions on his PLAYSTATION Portable for the next two weeks.)
@ timp29: Britain has been battered by torrential rain and thunderstorms for the past two weeks. Go outside? We're barely safe indoors!
There was even nearly a tornado near where I live, oO;;
Balls release. See ya'll next fortnight!
There's nothing. Either this week's release is late, or this is the epitome of fail.
Well, it's Thursday night, only an hour and 45 minutes to go before this week's Virtual Console release, and this time it will actually be a Virtual Console release and not a WiiWare release. It's not as though today is particularly special, but there's always a tiny chance that SMRPG will appear. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, as there's no need for it, but you never know.
I'm not trying to epichype it or anything like what happened two weeks ago, I just thought that it was worth mentioning.

@ Mr. Cheez: They're different games with different levels.
@ Rexy: Well, I don't blame you there. I, personally, prefer the 2D Sonic games to the 3D ones. However, I still find the 3D games to be a good laugh, and I love some of the music from them. Sure, it isn't the orchestral mastery that Konami and Nintendo love to pump into their games, but it's still damn fun to listen to, :3
I may play through the Master System Sonic games now that everyone's discussing them. I'm rather tempted, XD
You can unlock all of the Master System/Game Gear Sonic games by playing through Sonic Adventure DX for the GameCube, although this is a good release for anyone lacking in a GameCube/that game/the will to play through it enough to unlock said games.
I've already done so myself so I'll be fine on this one,
@hansolo350: I don't just believe it to be very close, I believe it to be a straight port.
Wasn't the Master System Sonic the Hedgehog that really hard one where each level was preceded by a map screen?
I'd be interested if I hadn't unlocked all of the Master System/Game Gear Sonic games on Sonic Adventure DX, :3
@ Hero10x: Let the boycotting begin, =P
I'm not going to be all competitive about this game with regards to who gets it first for the Virtual Console out of the US and Europe, as if it's released for one then it's bound to be released for the other soon after. If it's released in Europe first, great, as I live in the UK! If it's released in America first, then surely that means that a European release will soon follow.
I just hope I can get a Classic Controller in time for its release...
Regardless, at least said controller will make Super Mario World less of a waste of Wii Points (for the record, I consider Super Mario World to be epic, but controlling it using the GameCube controller is a nightmare, plus I've still got my friend's GBA copy to play on for the time being).
Can Nintendo please just release this somewhere other than Japan? XD
I know practically nothing about this game. I have no experience with it whatsoever. However, as people are clearly raving over it, it must therefore be pretty damn special, so if it ever appears on the European Virtual Console then I'll be sure to buy it.
However, whoever decided to name one of the main characters 'Poo' deserves to be shot, o_o
It's just dawned on me... playing SMRPG for the Virtual Console is going to be a pain in the ass. Remember the problems people had with Super Mario World? Holding the 'Run' button throughout most of the game is what (I should think) most people do because Mario's walking speed is sluggish, and a lot of the jumps in the game require the added speed. If you're using a GameCube controller, the 'Run' button is X, and the 'Jump' button is B, which is very inconvenient. The same buttons are used for Super Mario RPG. Ergo, regardless of when the game decides to grace non-Japanese shores with its presence (and, indeed, this applies to the Japanese too), it's going to be a royal pain to control.
Does the Classic Controller have a more favourable layout? If so, then I may have to invest in one... at least I have plenty of time, as I'm no longer expecting this game to appear at any point in the near-future, lol.
EDIT - Never mind. I just checked Wikipedia for a picture of the Classic Controller, and its button layout is exactly the same as that of the controller for the SNES, meaning that I definitely need to invest in one in time for SMRPG, :3
As much as I want it, based on how the news of its Virtual Console debut was announced, it was either going to be released very quickly (as said news was released very quickly) or very slowly (thereby rendering it in-league with the legions of other games that were rated ages ago and yet to this day have still not been released). It wasn't released quickly, as we all know, and so I'm not expecting it for at least a couple of months. I sense a September release, as a sort of 'Hey! For those of you who're depressed at the prospect of returning to school/College/University, here's Super Mario RPG to raise your spirits!' release. Luckily for me, I no longer go to College, and have no plans to go to University as of right now, so I'll have all the time in the world in which to marathon it, >:3
I was hoping Eggy was some alternate name for Fantastic Dizzy but it isn't,
Funnily enough, I used to own Pac-Attack, =O
It's quite fun, although the music is excrutiating. However, when you were losing it played the can-can, XD
No SMRPG I'm afraid. Five games were released:
Super Fantasy Zone (SEGA Mega Drive)
Summer Games 2 (Commodore 64)
Pac-Attack (Super Nintendo)
Cybernoid (Commodore 64)
Not arsed about any of them, XD
Ah well, time for a bath, bed, five or so hours of sleep, and then a Brawl-fest, <3
If that's the case, then Wikipedia lies. Lies! LIES!
Naughty Wikipedia. And to think, we've been through so much together...
Ah well, means I can get an extra hour of sleep. Six hours for the win!

Authorities seek help finding parole violator
LITTLE ROCK (AP) - Authorities are looking for a 50-year-old parole violator who was released from jail last week despite a new Department of Community Correction policy that should have kept him behind bars pending a hearing.
The Arkansas Department of Community Correction said Thursday that authorities want the public's help in finding Tony Perry.
The agency's plea comes after the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported Tuesday that Perry was released from jail on bond on Aug. 7 even though a new Department of Community Correction policy that should have kept him in jail pending a parole-revocation hearing.
The newspaper says Perry was arrested and charged on June 30 in the rape of a 14-year old girl in North Little Rock.
Perry has a parole-revocation hearing scheduled for next Tuesday.
ExxonMobil official: pipe could be retired
MAYFLOWER (AP) - A vice president at ExxonMobil Pipeline Co. says it's possible a 65-year-old pipe that leaked oil into a Mayflower neighborhood could be taken out of service.
Karen Tyrone, the company's vice president of operations, told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in a story published Thursday that it is too early to know whether the Pegasus pipeline will be closed.
"It is within the realm of possibilities and considerations," she said, adding that a decision will be reached following an investigation that could take a year or more.
"I recognize people want answers, as do we, but we're not going to rush the investigation. And until that's done, we won't know what the right thing to do with the pipeline is and exactly what's required to ensure the integrity of that pipeline," she said.
The line carries heavy Canadian crude from Illinois to the Texas Gulf Coast. A seam ripped in late March, spilling 210,000 gallons in Mayflower and threatening nearby Lake Conway.
Tyrone said pipeline inspections in 2010 found "anomalies that we had to address" but that no trouble was found in the section of pipe near Mayflower back then or during other tests in February.
The pipeline was made with a type of steel that federal regulators have warned for 25 years is prone to splitting along long, welded seams.
Later Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Ark., released two reports from the 2010 Exxon Mobil inspection. One report said seam weld defects were distributed throughout the pipeline.
The pipeline will not be restarted until the company and federal government are sure it's safe to do so, Tyrone said.
The Mayflower rupture forced long-term evacuations of 22 homes in the Northwoods subdivision. Most of those homeowners have not moved back, and Exxon Mobil has offered to buy the houses.
Motorists must change lanes for tow trucks
LITTLE ROCK (AP) - In addition to changing lanes while approaching police cars, firetrucks and ambulances, Arkansas motorists will have to slow down or try to go around tow trucks and utility company vehicles.
Legislators this year said motorists must exercise caution around vehicles with blue, red, yellow, white or green lights. The law takes effect Friday.
Highway Department Director Scott Bennett said his agency wanted to extend the law for highway workers but that it started hearing from utility companies and tow truck operators.
When possible, drivers will have to move into the farthest possible lane. Drivers must slow down if changing lanes isn't possible.
Violators can be fined up to $500 or sent to jail for 90 days. Community service or license suspensions can also be ordered.
Woman killed while driving in NLR
NORTH LITTLE ROCK (AP) - A woman driving on a busy North Little Rock street was shot and killed while a baby in the back of her car was not injured.
Police say 31-year-old Samantha Cass of North Little Rock died at a local hospital after being shot while driving on McCain Boulevard shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday. Police say Cass' infant was in the back seat of the car and was hospitalized as a precaution then later released to the father.
Sgt. Brian Dedrick says Cass was eastbound when witnesses saw the driver of a westbound pickup truck point a weapon at her car and fire. Her car stopped in the eastbound lane near the intersection with John F. Kennedy Boulevard.
Dedrick says police are searching for a dark-colored, four-door Ford pickup.
Crews replacing steps find time capsule
JONESBORO (AP) - Masonry crews tearing out and replacing the steps at First United Methodist Church in Jonesboro have found the cornerstone from the old First Methodist Episcopal Church South that apparently includes a time capsule.
The year "1898" is carved into the limestone and the workers then noticed on top of the stone the words "open here."
Senior Pastor John Miles told KAIT that the top has a plug dating to the late 1920s and it became clear that it is also a time capsule.
Miles says no current members of the church were aware of the time capsule and that it will be opened during Sunday's services.
Man to trial in womans disappearance
JAY, Okla. (AP) - A Kansas prison inmate formerly of Arkansas charged with murder in the 1996 disappearance of a woman in Oklahoma has been ordered to stand trial.
A judge in Delaware County on Wednesday found there is enough evidence to try 46-year-old old John Lee Weeks of Gentry, for first-degree murder in the disappearance of 29-year-old Barbara Ann Johnson-Willard of Jay.
Johnson-Willard disappeared in June 1996 and her car was later found in a ravine in Delaware County. Her body has never been found.
Investigators say fingerprints and DNA taken from cigarette butts found in the car match that of Weeks.
Weeks has pleaded not guilty. He's been in prison in Kansas since 2000 for several convictions, including rape and aggravated kidnapping.
Pastors group to urge expanded background checks
NORTH LITTLE ROCK (AP) - A group of Arkansas pastors is calling on U.S. Sens. John Boozman and Mark Pryor to reconsider their opposition to expanded background checks for firearms sales.
Six pastors planned to urge Boozman and Pryor at a news conference in North Little Rock to reconsider the measure they opposed in April.
Boozman is a first-term Republican who was elected in 2010. Pryor is a two-term Democrat seeking re-election next year.
The pastors will speak at New Beginnings New Birth Ministry in North Little Rock.
Pryor is being challenged by Republican Rep. Tom Cotton next year.
Gun control advocates have targeted him for opposing the expanded background checks measure. He defended the vote in his first re-election campaign television ad.

This Stuffed Beaver PC Case has to be one of the most morbid yet creative case mods in the relatively short history of mankind.
Creator Kasey McMahon took many days to carve the entire insides out even with an electric knife, making that the most tedious part of the entire process. If you can fit a fully running computer in a beaver, what about a bear? You could probably throw in a server rack or two, and it would make a pretty cool tourist attraction for those visiting the Yellowstone National Park. Out of curiousity, I wonder where do you plug in the power.

He claims that natural gas paves the road to energy independence in his "Pickens Plan4." He says that it's "green," and it seems he came to this realization right around the time his oil wells stopped being productive. Interestingly, according to BusinessWeek, "Pickens owns more water than any other individual in the U.S. and is looking to control even more5." So, if all goes according to his Plan, groundwater across the country will end up contaminated by the energy we buy from him, but he will be able to sell us all the clean water we need. Pickens Plan? We say slim pickings, man!

In early 1800s, several companies constructed a network of turnpikes
Christmas travel in the 1830s, such as it was, used a number of turnpikes in southwestern Pennsylvania that provided a land transportation network of sorts.
Construction was by separate companies, often different ones for different sections of what was the same roadway. The state often made "liberal" contributions to the cost, which a total ranged from $1,000 to $10,000 per mile.
From about 1810 until 1830, in the approximate order of their construction, these were the turnpikes that developed:
The following came after 1820, and mileages are not known:
Thus, it can be seen that many of today's major highways had inceptions nearly two centuries ago, and spent most of one of those 100-year periods hosting animals and carriages before automobiles created a new era of need about 1900.
Two days before Christmas in 1814, at a public auction, 48 lots in and near the center of roads that crossed Salem Township in Westmoreland County were sold to become a town as Salem Crossroads, New Salem, and eventually Delmont.
By 1832, a state gazetteer described the then post town of New Salem as being on the turnpike from Ebensburg to Pittsburgh, with 20 dwellings, four taverns and two stores.
A post office was established in 1871, but because there was another New Salem in Fayette County, pioneer postmaster Zachariah Zimmerman suggested a change to Delmont. The new name was from the French "valley in the hills."
The completion of the turnpike by the Pittsburgh and New Alexandria company in 1819 was a big boost for the community, bringing traffic for area stores and inns.
One of the geological features was a big spring there, which furnished ample supplies of water.
An early schoolmaster was Richard Geary, who had a son who became mayor of San Francisco, governor of Kansas and Pennsylvania, and a Civil War general. The son, John, was born in Mt. Pleasant.
New Salem was incorporated as a borough in 1833. At its first election in 1835, Henry Hugus became first mayor.
The growth of the community was interrupted by the completion of the Pennsylvania Railroad several miles to the south in 1852. But Delmont has remained an active community on the basis of its crossroad site in the more modern automobile highway era.
Indiana County has a distinction, claiming that it is the "Christmas tree capital of the world." The industry there started about 1915, when the first such trees were believed to be planted.
Because it takes seven or more years for such trees to mature, it was the early 1920s before such tree plantings were marketed.
Musser Nursery began in 1928, when Fred Musser and others purchased 600 acres near Indiana and planted pine and spruce seedlings on abandoned farmland. Other Musser nurseries were developed in 1938 between Indiana and Clymer, and 1952-53 along U.S. Route 119.
Their efforts in this area were designed to unite those two areas of influence by enforcing a claim to the Ohio country. From 1754 until late 1758, the French controlled Fort Pitt (they named it Fort Duquesne).
Other historical notes through the years in the counties of this region:
The first attempt at a county settlement was made in 1769, at the forks of Conemaugh and Black Lick Creek.
When Fredericktown was laid out in 1790, its people were quite high in literature promotion, and established a pioneer library in 1793.
The first bridge across the Conemaugh River in Blairsville was opened for wagon traffic on Dec. 22, 1822, 180 years ago.
In 1830, Washington County citizens met to campaign for common or public schools at the courthouse. Their objective was to impress state legislators with the need in Pennsylvania. Public school legislation was passed in 1834, about four years later.
Cowanshannock Township in Armstrong County was incorporated in 1848.
The railroad bridge in Livermore on Westmoreland's northern border was swept away in 1867, down the Conemaugh.
The Pittsburgh, McKeesport & Connellsville Street Railway Co. was formed by merger in 1900.
The First Methodist Church in Greensburg acquired its present site at Second and Maple in 1903. The church earlier was on Main Street.
Seven persons were killed in the Garfield clay firebrick mine in Robinson, Indiana County, in 1904.
In 1917, Pittsburgh trolley fares were raised from a nickle to six cents.
Twenty-eight were killed in an Army-chartered troop plane crash in the Mononaghela River not far from Pittsburgh in 1954.
Part of the financially troubled United Air Lines evolved from an airline started by a group of Greensburg men in 1929.
Central Air Line organized a flying service and offered scheduled flights from Greensburg to Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, from the then new airport in what is now West Point, southeast of the county seat.
In 1946, Central merged with Clifford Ball's pioneer airmail operation, which in 1927 had begun service between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. The combined firm was known as Penn Central Airlines.
That firm became part of Capital Air Lines and was later merged into United.
Now that the sport of football is comfortably more than a century old, its history becomes of increasing interest.
Although Penn State played its first official football game against Bucknell in 1887 as the sport moved westward. The first strictly collegiate game in the southwest was a 32-0 Washington & Jefferson victory over Western University of Pennsylvania (soon to be changed to University of Pittsburgh) in 1890.
WUP played an earlier game that year with a club team, Allegheny Athletic Association.
To complete schedules in the early 90s, club and college teams played each other and sometimes even high school teams. The high schoolers were often older than their counterparts today, sometimes leaving school at the end of the eighth grade, and then returning after a couple of years at work.
Kiski Prep may have been, in 1890 as well, the first prep/high school aggregation.
Early unofficial "western Pa. football champions" chosen by sports writers included such as Grove City College in 1894 and Greensbu
Early high school teams were generally organized as a student-run activity, often with a faculty coach who had played the sport at an eastern school. By the 1920s school and pep bands became quite popular playing at games.
Offutt Field at Greensburg, a football field since 1890, once had a stream which crossed a corner of the field. In 1916, the field level was raised and the creek covered.

Pulley blocks or 'blocks' in a ship's rigging may appear insignificant. However, the machinery invented to build them at Portsmouth dockyard played a major role in manufacturing history. In 1805, the same year that Nelson won his famous battle at Trafalgar on the HMS Victory, the first large suite of single-purpose machines was developed to create the pulleys needed for such ships. Among the many advantages to these machines was that they allowed production methods to become far less labour intensive, being carried out mainly by machine operators. As Richard Beamish wrote in his book 'Life of Sir Isambard Brunel':
'...So that ten men, by the aid of this machinery, can accomplish with uniformity, celerity and ease, what formerly required the uncertain labour of one hundred and ten.'
The importance of the blockmaking machinery was also recognised at the time and the block mill became a place of special interest to many concerned with the development of manufacturing and machine tools.
At the end of the eighteenth century the making of blocks, like other manufacturing, was largely done by hand. Some simple machines were used, but most of the work was completed by a skilled workman with hand tools.
There had already been some attempts at mechanisation in parts of other industries. What was remarkable in the blockmaking process was the almost complete move to mechanisation. Separate operations were performed using single-purpose machines, with the number of each type built in proportion to the duration of the operation. This created a steady flow of production.
