This is a good basic tour with lots of things packed in. Moving from place to place every 2 days or so with lots of additional activities to do. Accommodation is basic but of an acceptable standard.

After they finish their opening stint with Powerman 5000 next month, the men of Static-X plan to rub elbows with fellow high tech rockers Pitchshifter as well as Brit pop phenom Robbie Williams… sort of.
Once Powerman 5000's "Rockets And Robots" tour wraps up in late March, Static-X will set its sights on what the band calls its "first real headlining tour" with Pitchshifter opening up.
"I'm a big fan of those guys," Static-X frontman Wayne Static told MTV News of its soon-to-be tourmates. "I met them when we were in Holland last year, and they were really cool, so I'm excited to have them out."
Static-X has yet to line up those dates, but we'll keep you posted.
Meanwhile, the group will also turn up alongside Robbie Williams on the soundtrack to the upcoming 20th Century Fox animated sci fi epic "Titan A.E." As we previously reported, Williams is currently working on a new track for the film (see "Robbie Williams Gets Poetic
As New Album Shapes Up" ), and Static-X will kick in an unreleased track called "Head" for the soundtrack as well.
"It's a song that we recorded originally for the record, and it was another one of those things where it didn¹t really fit with the record," Static explained. "But what we're going to do is sort of approach it from a remix standpoint. We're going to totally tear it down to each piece and put it back together to make it this cool, up-tempo breakbeat track."
Lately, the band has been in soundtrack overdrive, kicking in new songs for CDs from "Scream 3″ and the upcoming "The Crow: Salvation." However, the band notes that they are intrigued at the chance to be a part of "Titan A.E."
"They're saying that the film is either going to set the whole industry on its ear, or it's going to flop,"
Static-X drummer Ken Jay said. "I think it's going to be a very cool thing. I've actually
seen previews in the theater, and I think it looks amazing." [RealAudio]
Before the soundtrack arrives and before launching its headlining road trip, Static-X still has to wrap up the "Rockets And Robots" tour with Powerman 5000 (along with Chevelle and Dope). Here's where to catch them:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Jimmie Johnson lost the Nextel Cup points lead and his crew chief was suspended Tuesday when NASCAR handed out several penalties for violations at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Instead of holding a 15-point lead after his victory Sunday in the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400, Johnson is now second, 10 points behind series champion Kurt Busch.

Turning in three standout performances in the 115-pound weight class at last Saturday's Coastal Mountain Conference wrestling championships, senior Osvaldo Dagio became Archbishop Hanna High School's first-ever CMC individual grappling champion.
Dagio earned his conference title by pinning Upper Lake's Nicholas Stith in the first round of their quarterfinal; capturing the semifinal with a third-round pin-win over Middletown's Marlon Salonga; and beating Willits' Jacob Jepson 16-11 in the first-place match.
With the top three finishers in each weight class qualifying for the North Coast Section championships – beginning today, and concluding tomorrow, Saturday, March 1, in Newark – Hanna's Dagio will be joined at NCS by junior teammate Alex Garcia, who claimed a CMC third-place medal at 128 pounds.
In today's NCS first-round action, Dagio will face junior Mijail Enriquez of California School for the Deaf at 115 pounds, while Garcia will take on sophomore Jeff Caldwell of Las Lomas at 128.
Also competing for the Hanna Hawks, coached by David Montano, at the CMC tournament were fourth-place finisher Jared Noe at 154 pounds; Brian Seabrooks at 122; Ricky Ventura at 134; Angel Campos at 147; Wesley Trujillo at 184; and Robert Handani in the heavyweight division.

Re: Time Police/STXI solved!
Jeri wrote:
No, it can't. The word "alternate" presumes another exists.
Not really. It depends on the interpretation.
In this particular situation it can be argued that Uhura said 'alternate' merely to confirm the fact that their futures are now different.
Therefore, it can easily still mean that the Trek prime universe (at least as far as canon is concerned) is no more.
What was also established by Spock is that whatever their future lives may have been, history was altered beginning with the destruction of Kelvin and culminating in the sequence of events they were experiencing then with Nero in the past.
Both Nero and old Spock can easily exist in the past even with the prime universe being completely changed ... passing through the singularity could have protected them both from changes in the time stream just as the Enterprise-E was protected from the changes in FC ... otherwise, the ship would have been obliterated from existence anyway (if the protection was only a temporary one from within the anomaly) since the Sphere was already attacking Montana before the Sovvie exited the time stream and inflicted casualties.
So to sum it up, there is a good possibility that the new sequence of events is actually happening within the prime universe we all knew.
In our reality, the previous Trek made shows and movies won't simply disappear ... but as far as on-screen is concerned, the prime-timeline from this movie's era and forth has been changed drastically.
We are who we choose to be but also have predefined aspects of our personalities we are born with, and make art that defines us.

New Resource Bank Recognized in 'Best for the World' List for Positive Community Impact
March 8, 2012
SAN FRANCISCO, March 7, 2012 — New Resource Bank has been recognized as "Best for the World" in a list of businesses creating the most overall positive social and environmental impact. New Resource and the other "Best for the World" businesses earned a score that is in the top 10 percent of all Certified B Corporations and, on average, 50 percent higher than the average score of nearly 2,000 other sustainable businesses that have completed the B Impact Assessment.
B Lab's B Impact Assessment shows the relative value that businesses create for society by comparing nearly 200 individual metrics on corporate impact on workers, consumers, suppliers, community and the environment.
"New Resource Bank is a leader in the global movement to redefine success in business," says Jay Coen Gilbert, co-founder of B Lab, the nonprofit organization that governs the B Impact Assessment and certifies B Corporations. "New Resource Bank is among the best in the world at being the best for the world."
"We're excited to receive this recognition and honored to be in such excellent company," says New Resource President and CEO Vince Siciliano. "This is a tribute to the work everyone at New Resource does every day to not only ensure we meet our operational goals but also make progress on our mission to use banking to create a more sustainable world."
The "Best for the World" list appears in the 2012 B Corp Annual Report published today by B Lab.
"Best for the World" businesses include Better World Books, Global Green Energy Corp, Green Building Services, Larry's Beans, Method Home Products, Moving Forward Education, Namaste Solar, Next Street, Partnership Capital Growth, Piedmont Biofuels, PREM Group, Re:Vision Architecture, RecycleBank, South Mountain Company, Southern Energy Management, SQA Pharmacy Services, The Redwoods Group and Virginia Community Capital.
Learn more about how New Resource creates positive social and environmental impact at the B Corporation site.

About B Lab
B Lab is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a new sector of the economy that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. B Lab drives systemic change through three interrelated initiatives: (1) building a community of Certified B Corporations to make it easier for all of us to tell the difference between "good companies" and just good marketing; (2) driving capital to impact investments through use of GIIRS Ratings and Analytics; and (3) advancing supportive public policies to accelerate growth of social entrepreneurship and impact investing. To earn certification, B Corps must achieve a verified minimum score (80 out of 200) on the B Impact Assessment and amend their bylaws to legally require their directors to consider the interests of stakeholders, not just shareholders, when making decisions.

Or maybe its a custom amiibo.
@JubilifeRival I think that is Kirby.
If only the disks were dual layered like everyone elses...
I'll have to get my hands on the RPG Medabots games, loved that game to death!
I still have AX on my actual GBA, so i'll skip those.
I'll look into this ohe after I finish the original game.
Many mobile games aren't as bad as most make them out to be.
I wonder how many people know Level-5 is independent from Nintendo
Odd considering that Miiverse communuties rated M can't be accessed by anyone who stated they are under 17 years old anyway.
I'm going for all the Pokemon amiibo!
Hopefully they're at least as stocked as Pikachu and not like Lucario...
@Discostew According to the Wii U eShop, the supported resolutions for Super Mario 64 are 480i, 480p, 1080i, 720p, and 1080p.
@Nintenjoe64 no, the save data are seperate from Wii Mode and playing straight off the Wii U Menu.
Well, this gives me more time for Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and X if that dosen't get pushed back to 2016.
I feel sorry for those who bought Pac-Man or Galaga individually.
I'll only be downloading demos this week.
Is it so odd to have the option to choose between male and female in the next game?
@Captain_Gonru They usually should have file size of the game on the game's page on the eShop. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can even see if you even have enough space on your Wii U to download!
If its available to download off Nintendo's website you can find the size there too.
This isn't the first time Game Freak was involved in a game made for other platforms. Game Freak and Nintendo mutually own the copyright to the Pokemon games, but thats really all they have together.
The reactions to this are hilarious to me!
I'll keep a close eye on this one, and if its good, i'll get it on Steam.
If this proves to be true, i'll buy Greninja and Jigglypuff for my Pokemon collection.
As for Splatoon, I would definetly buy one based on the Sea Anemone character, i'd buy the boy or girl Inkling if they look decent.
@TourianTourist the old 3DS XL is now sold for about $170 while the New 3DS XL sells for $200.
That's about the same as Bravely Default's download size.
If amiibo cards are coming, i'd probably get the cards for use on 3DS and the figures to use on Wii U.
I was able to get one on both versions of the game. I only have one 3DS, and both games share one of twelve streetpass slots.
@dkxcalibur Nintendo hasn't said anything about StreetPass for this app.
@ericwithcheese2 @ENTER It should still have the option to convert a flipnote to GIF or a video format as it was shown to have back when the app was first revealed.
Not all the 3DS version updates are in the Wii U version.
I can still Bowsercide people on Wii U just fine.
But this'll add a bit more variety in 8 Player Smash, though kinda sad that some stage elements are missing.
@Lukaz2009 got it! Thanks for sharing your codes.
STILL haven't gotten a code yet!
I want to at least get used to the first Monster Hunter game i'll play in the series.
In a matchup between Super Smasb Bros. for Wii U vs. Mario Kart 8, i didn't expect to see Super Smash Bros. for 3DS coming out on top!
Mechanically, and graphically, Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
Story wise, Pokemon Black and White, The sequel kinda drops the stlry if you ask me, but since then, they have put a lot more effort when it comes to the plot and giving the NCPs more character and personality, makes me excited for whatever story they tell in the next game.
The moment the Duck Hunt amiibo is announced, i'm pre-ordering!
I may get it for my Pokemon collection.
Who needs the NES Zapper when you can use this!
Why would they offer the Wii Virtual Console version of Super Mario Kart when they already released it on the Wii U eShop?
Adventure Mode reminds me of that old PC game, Feeding Frenzy.
@Spoony_Tech They did nominations randomly based on some of their favorite games and their order in the tourney based on whatever came out of a hat.
Hopefully their seasons last longer than Sonic Boom.
I think they should just make a Miiverse app that has access to the Nintendo eShop and Club Nintendo. You can do your surveys on club nintendo, redeem codes in the eshop or buy games from there and talk about the games and draw on your device on the Miiverse portion.
@GuyWithTheGames people photoshop over a screencap to make it look like something else was typed instead. I've seen people do it when Pokemon X and Y broke their streetdates.
@rjejr I believe you have to scan the amiibo first under under one of the three options in the amiibo settings. In Smash Bros, you have to to a button combination to reset the amiibos progress bacl to start. Just remember when you are done playing, go back out of a smash and you'll get a screen telling you to scan your amiibo again so its progress can be saved to it.
I hope this fixes the trainer's eyesight.
I got caught a few times by trainers that didn't even see me yet.
@Light I only used one amiibo for Smash, Peach. It definetly seems to improve as you use it. Even the amiibo is tough to beat if you train it well. They level up kinda quick depending on who its playing against. I haven't tried out how its like having two amiibo to fight against each other nor have I tired out how it performs with custom moves yet but I am satisfied with what its done so far.
@VolcanoFlamesNL he is playing in Special Smash and changed the character's size to make the characters larger so the flawed models are easier to see.
I got Smash Bros, both Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and the Pikachu and Peach amiibo.
I was hoping to get Fox but the GameStop I went to didn't have one.
I plan on getting all the pokemon amiibos along with Fox, Bowser, Donkey Kong and a few more.
Gonna save the Pokemon amiibos for any pokemon game that has support for the figures and I'll most likely use Fox for Smash Bros.
@NintendoMan94 It varies from match to match, depending on the player's Wi-Fi speed.
@rjejr not all games can be bought straight from Nintendo.com
here's a link that shows all the games you can buy straight off the website.
Can't really say i'm suprised. They've been putting in new forms of Pokemon that wouldn't work in previous, earlier games in the same gen since 4th gen.

I suspect that many of them have come to accept a large, "energetic' federal government and believe that Republicans should just accept it and instead devise original and creative yet "conservative" policy solutions within the big-government framework. In other words, we should throw in the towel on our founding principles, accept the liberal narrative that Reagan conservatism is extremism, and do the best we can within the new paradigm.
I certainly hope I'm overstating the case, but I've seen how timidly Republicans have operated on domestic and social issues when in power, and I've read the commentary of many establishment-oriented pundits about "compassionate conservatism" and similar tautologies.
Conservatives have been warning for years about the unchecked explosion of entitlements, runaway deficits and debt, the destructiveness of the welfare state, the enormous problems with federal control of education, the evils of socialized medicine, the growth-smothering effects of federal taxing and spending policies, the freedom-smothering metastasis of the federal regulatory leviathan, and the danger to the republic from unchecked, rampant illegal immigration.
Will Republicans, if they regain power of both political branches, have the political will to begin to unravel the nightmares caused by an abandonment of our founding principles, or will they just nibble around the edges with insignificant modifications because they no longer believe in either conservative principles or their ability to convince the people that our ideas are still superior?
You see, my real concern is not about impeachment. It's that too many of us have given up on the ideas that made America great -- other than to pay meaningless lip service to them. I'm worried that too many of us have given up the fight. We have watched as liberals have overtaken our cultural and educational institutions and successfully vilified the American idea -- even to the point that they have many on our side convinced.
Well, I'm not among those convinced, and I don't believe that the majority of the American people are, either. But I do think that we need leaders who will articulate conservative ideas unapologetically and that conservatives need to engage in the culture war and try to make progress toward reversing this illusion that limited government, capitalism and traditional morality are wrongheaded and extreme.
I just want us to get back in the fight. We face a tireless, relentless foe in liberalism, and if we're not up to the challenge, we might as well kiss America goodbye, irrespective of whether we win or lose the next few elections.
But I am praying -- and choose to believe -- that we can and will turn this around because our ideas are superior and the majority of people still instinctively understand that. But we need to begin acting and talking as though we believe it.

Lowest Price Guarantee
The Easton Mako Hockey Elbow Pads are the premier elbow pad in the Mako line. Not only do these pads offer extensive protection but the mobility they offer is incredible.
With a re-engineered flex system these elbow pads fall in line with Easton's Mako mentality that "Natural Movement = Mobility". Once the pads are fully fastened, little to no resistance can be felt when extending and retracting your arm. This is achieved by the two major pivot zones; the connection of the bicep and elbow cap area and the connection between the elbow cap and forearm guard area. Essentially you have three independent pieces that contour to your every movement giving you that maximum mobility but just as importantly providing you proper protection at all times.
The high level of protection these Mako elbow pads provide is achieved through high-grade materials used throughout the pad. The forearm guard has a thick layer of medium density foam with a plastic insert sandwiched in between to disperse any slashes and hacks thrown it's way. The elbow cap has an inner layer of comfort foam, a plastic insert, then a certified EVA foam elbow tip that helps prevent damage to not just the player using them but to opposing players coming into contact with it as well.

- Heritage: New
- Level of Play Guideline: Elite

Still Surfing for an Internet Patron Saint
| 672 hits
VATICAN CITY, MAR. 16, 2001 (Zenit.org).- The search for a patron saint for the Internet is continuing, and the candidates now include two martyrs of the Nazi death camps.
St. Maximilian Kolbe, a communicator in the press, radio and audio-visual materials, and Blessed Titus Brandsma, a Carmelite and Dutch journalist, were among the candidates discussed this week during the plenary assembly of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications.
Other names included St. Paul and St. Isidore of Seville (died 636), who was renowned for his encyclopedic knowledge.
The Church is also looking for a patron saint for the cinema. Bishop Pierfranco Pastore, secretary of the communications council, told Vatican Radio about the proposals made to date.
"Together with the already existing patrons of radio [St. Gabriel], television [St. Clare], and the press [St. Francis of Sales]," he said, "we have received grass-roots requests, so to speak, for a patron for Internet, the cinema and the media in general."
Bishop Pastore said that the petitions come "from the dioceses and local Churches, to which we give due attention. Before giving a list of names to the Pope´s Secretariat of State, we decided to hear the opinion of consultor members of our council."

I'm looking to convert one of my existing flat-bar bikes to a loaded trekking bike. The project will be mainly a handlebar/stem swap for trekking bars and the addition of fenders and racks (and possibly the upgrade from 7-speed to 9-speed. Both of them currently have freewheels, If I replace the wheels I'll also get new shifters).
I have 2 possible base bikes for this conversion a 2000 Giant Upland and a 2009 Trek FX7.1. I've made a list of differences between them but still can't decide which one to use for the conversion.
Material: The Giant claims to be 4130 steel (it must be thick because it feels heavy) and the trek is 6000 series aluminum (Trek doesn't publish the exact alloy used). I personally never felt the harshness of aluminum.
Wheels: The Giant has 26" wheels and the Trek has 700c wheels. I like 700c because my other bikes are all 700c.
Headset: The Giant has a traditional threaded headset (it least that is what it looks like from the outside) and the Trek has a threadless slimstak.
Fork: The Trek has mid-fork eyelets.
Braze-ons: The Trek has 1 set of bottle cage mounts and the Giant has 2 sets.
Right now I'm think of having a shop install another set (or 2) of rivnuts on the Trek but I wanted to hear other opinions before I modify the frame.

Surfing the Canary Islands. Photo: Guillermo Cervera
Guillermo Cervera first fell in love with photography when he discovered a box of Playboys his father brought home from the United States. "They were beautiful color pictures, and I looked at them when my father wasn't home," he said in an interview published by The New York Times Lens blog in 2011. "Then my father learned what I was doing and he emptied the box of Playboys and replaced them with National Geographic."
Photography was his father's hobby, and Cervera took to it. "I used to cover all of my books for school with National Geographic," he says. "I always wanted to be a photographer, but I studied engineering in the United States."
His father pushed him away from chasing a career as a lensman. "His way of thinking was, if you don't study something important, you will be nothing," Cervera says. "Photography is nothing, so that's how he thinks."
Libya, 2011. Photo: Guillermo Cervera
A girlfriend bought him a camera in college, and, against his father's wishes, he followed his passion. In the last two decades, he hasn't stopped shooting. He's taken assignments in Afghanistan and Sudan, and was not far from photographer Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington when a mortar shell exploded and killed them in Libya in 2011. At least once a year, he takes a break to shoot surfing and refresh his mind. To find out more, I called the 43-year-old in Spain a day after he flew home from a two-week surfing shoot in Indonesia, an assignment he took after working on a much longer project in Afghanistan.
How did you get your first job?
I was probably 22 or 23. I had a friend who really wanted to do a story for a magazine about the war in Bosnia. It was 1992 or '93. One day he called me in the morning and he told me, Oh, you know how to take pictures. Why don't we go together to Bosnia and do a story—freelance. We were really young. Nobody wanted to write us a letter to get into this area, but we made the trip. One magazine told us if we could get in, they would buy the story, so we went to Bosnia. That's the first thing I did.

Objective: To assess the relation of the auscultatory gap during blood pressure measurement to cardiovascular structure and function.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: A hypertension center in a university hospital.
Patients: 168 persons with hypertension who were otherwise healthy and were not receiving medication.
Measurements: Wideband external pulse recordings and ultrasonographic examination of the left ventricle and extracranial carotid arteries. Vascular stiffness was evaluated using simultaneous carotid pressure waveforms obtained by applanation tonometry of the contralateral carotid artery.
Results: Classic auscultatory gaps were present in 21% of patients and were associated with older age (mean age ±SD, 64 ± 11 years for patients with gaps and 55 ± 13 years for patients without gaps; P < 0.001), female sex (67% of patients with gaps and 44% of patients without gaps were female; P < 0.05), and increased arterial stiffness (arterial stiffness index, 8.5 ± 4.6 in patients with gaps and 5.8 ± 3.2 in patients without gaps; P < 0.005). The prevalence of atherosclerotic plaques was increased more than twofold among patients with gaps compared with patients without gaps (50% compared with 22%; P < 0.002). Patients with and without auscultatory gaps had similar blood pressures, left ventricular structure and function, serum cholesterol levels, and smoking history. Logistic regression analysis indicated that only female sex (P < 0.02), arterial stiffness (P < 0.002), and atherosclerotic plaque (P < 0.02) were independently associated with the presence of an auscultatory gap.
Conclusions: This study provides strong evidence that auscultatory gaps are related to carotid atherosclerosis and to increased arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients, independent of age. Although these observations need to be confirmed prospectively, they suggest that auscultatory gaps may have prognostic relevance.
This auscultatory gap (auscultatory marker) occurs during deflation of the cuff pressure to between the systolic and diastolic pressures (Finapres recording). The G3 gap is characterized by the disappearance of Korotkoff sounds (K sound), persistence of activity on the wideband external pulse recording (FES), and the absence of phasic fluctuation in arterial pressure ECG equals electrocardiogram; FES equals foil electret sensor.
