Symphony takes on the music of U2
Every summer, the Utah Symphony trades in Beethoven, Prokofiev and Mozart for Bono, Plant and Mercury, if only for a weekend. Concerts dedicated to classic rock bands such as Led Zeppelin, Queen and the Rolling Stones have become a fixture at the orchestra's Deer Valley Music Festival. This weekend, conductor Brent Havens returns for a fifth straight year to lead the Utah Symphony in music of U2. The frontman will be Brody Dolyniuk, who has been featured in music of Queen and the Rolling Stones on past Deer Valley seasons. Both musicians answered questions submitted via email.
How do you approach songs that are associated with such iconic interpreters as Freddie Mercury and Bono?
Dolyniuk: I grew up singing along with these songs. Without really thinking about it, I gravitated towards matching the vocal timbres of the different singers, and that sort of stuck. So I'd say I try to approximate the different voices without becoming campy about it. And my onstage persona is 100 percent me, although occasionally I'll throw in a signature move or gesture as a nod to the original, just in fun.
Do you approach the music differently when you have an orchestra, rather than a rock band, behind you?
Dolyniuk: I don't really think about that much. The music moves you, whether it's an acoustic guitar, a four-piece rock band, a symphony or all the above. I try to follow the emotion and energy of the music, whatever that may be.
How do you choose which artists/acts to feature, how long have you been doing the U2 show and what's on your wish list?
Havens: This is only the second performance of this show. We premiered the show only a couple of weeks ago in Atlanta with the Atlanta Symphony.
I have an entire matrix that I go through when trying to decide what groups to feature with orchestras: items such as U.S. sales, the size of the groups' catalogs, the type and style of music and whether I think that music is conducive to orchestral arrangements and whether I think I can make it work, etc. Obviously, there are a great number of popular groups out there, but finding the ones that meet all of the criteria is more difficult and I have to feel comfortable with the music.
What are your most popular shows, and do the audiences' tastes coincide with the orchestras'?
We currently have 11 shows that tour, and which ones are most popular changes from year to year. For a while, our Michael Jackson show was very popular, and then it was our Stones show. Our Zeppelin and Pink Floyd shows have been perennially popular (they were our very first two shows), as has our Eagles show. It's also interesting to see how popular some shows are in different parts of the country. The Eagles show is very popular in the South and West, and some of our other shows are more popular in the North and East. As far as coinciding with the tastes of the orchestras, it's tough to say, as the musicians seem to have fun with almost all of the shows, and that's a good thing.
How do you put together your set lists, and who does your charts?
I end up having the final decision on the setlists, but I get a lot of input from my staff and artists. They are immensely helpful since they are so well versed (much more so than I am) with these groups. But ultimately it's my responsibility to set which songs we are going to perform and in what order. I write all of the arrangements (charts) for all of the shows.
At Deer Valley
The Deer Valley Music Festival continues with the Utah Symphony performing music of John Williams and U2. On Friday, July 11, Jeff Tyzik will lead the orchestra in selections from "Superman," "Jaws," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "E.T.," "Star Wars" and the "Harry Potter" films, among others. On Saturday, July 12, conductor Brent Havens and vocalist Brody Dolyniuk will join the orchestra in songs spanning the Irish band's 30-plus-year career.
When • Both concerts start at 7:30 p.m.
Where • Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater at Deer Valley Resort

Today, it is still in the 'green' but when congress goes on recess it will be in the 'yellow'.
It may not appear important.
But it is. For all of us.


text: as joe observed, what you are looking for seems to be rather high tech and involved. one of the more typical solutions is to fill a basin with water the same number of degrees cooler than the chemicals are warm, and let them sit until they are all uniform in temperature. the other circumstance of using hot water for too cold chems is very effective and quite quick. cooling them off will likely be slower, but just as effective.

Rockchip (Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd.) is a fabless semiconductor company based in Fuzhou, People's Republic of China. They design SoCs using licensed SIP cores from other companies. Due to their evolution from the MP3/MP4 player market most Rockchip SoCs feature advanced media decoding logic but lack integrated cellular radio basebands.
Rockchip is a leading supplier of SoC solutions to Chinese white-box tablet manufacturers[4][5][6] as well as supplying top-tier OEMs such as Asus,[7][8] HP[9] and Toshiba.[10][11]
Rockchip is an ARM licensee and uses the ARM architecture for the majority of its projects.[12]
However, on 27 May 2014 Intel announced that it has entered into a strategic agreement with Rockchip to accelerate the adoption of the Intel architecture and Intel's communication-based solutions for a range of entry-level tablets targeted at the worldwide market.[3]

Markets and competition[edit]
In the market for SoC solutions for tablets, Rockchip faces competition from Allwinner Technology,[13] MediaTek,[5] Intel,[14] Actions Semiconductor,[15] Spreadtrum,[16] Leadcore Technology,[17] Samsung Semiconductor, Qualcomm, Broadcom, VIA Technologies[13] and Amlogic.[13]
After establishing a leading position early in the developing Chinese tablet SoC market, in 2012 it faced a challenge by Allwinner.[2] In 2012, Rockchip shipped 10.5 million tablet processors, compared to 27.5 million for Allwinner.[13]
However, Rockchip subsequently improved its competitive position. For Q3 2013, Rockchip was forecast to ship 6 million tablet-use application processors in China, compared to 7 million for Allwinner who mainly shipped single-core solutions.[18] Rockchip was reported to be the number one supplier of tablet-use application processors in China in Q4 2013, Q1 2014 and Q2 2014.[4][6]
Chinese SoC suppliers that do not have cellular baseband technology are at a disadvantage compared to companies such as MediaTek that also supply the smartphone market as white-box tablet makers increasingly add phone or cellular data functionality to their products.[19]
Intel Corporation has made significant investments into becoming a player in the tablet processor market and was heavily subsidizing its entry into the low-cost tablet market as of 2014.[14]
Cooperation with Intel[edit]
In May 2014, Intel announced an strategic agreement with Rockchip to jointly deliver an Intel-branded mobile SoC platform based on Intel's Atom processor and 3G modem technology.[3] Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will deliver an Intel-branded mobile SoC platform. The quad-core platform will be based on an Intel Atom processor core integrated with Intel's 3G modem technology, and is expected to be available in the first half of 2015.[3] Both Intel and Rockchip will sell the new part to OEMs and ODMs, primarily into each company's existing customer base.[3]
As of October 2014, Rockchip was already offering a low-end smartphone solution, Intel's XMM 6321, through its customer base.[20] It is a two chip solution consisting of a dual-core application processor (either with Intel processor cores or ARM Cortex-A5 cores) with integrated modem (XG632) and an integrated RF chip (AG620) that originates from the cellular chip division of Infineon (which Intel acquired some time ago). The application processor may also originate from Infineon or Intel. Rockchip has not earlier targeted the smartphone space in a material way.

The RK3188T is a lower-clocked version of the RK3188, with the CPU cores running at a maximum speed of 1.4 GHz instead of 1.6 GHz. The Mali-400MP4 GPU is also clocked at a lower speed. As of early 2014, many devices advertised as using a RK3188 with a maximum clock speed of 1.6 GHz actually have a RK3188T with clock speed limited to 1.4 GHz. Operating system ROMs specifically made for the RK3188 may not work correctly with a RK3188T.[39]
The RK3168, first shown in April 2013, is a dual-core Cortex A9-based CPU, also manufactured using the 28 nm process.[40][41] It is targeted at low-end tablets.[22] The chip has seen only limited use as of May 2014.

RK32xx series[edit]
Rockchip has announced the RK3288 for production in the second quarter of 2014.[44] Recent information suggests that the chip uses a quad-core ARM Cortex-A17 CPU, although technically ARM Cortex-A12,[45] which as of October 1, 2014, ARM has decided to also refer to as Cortex-A17 because the latest production version of Cortex-A12 performs at a similar performance level as Cortex-A17.[46]
- 28 nm HKMG process.
- Quad-core ARM Cortex-A17, up to 1.8 GHz
- Quad-core ARM Mali-T760 MP4 (also called Mali-T764) GPU clocked at 600 MHz[25] supporting OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0/3.0/3.1, OpenCL 1.1, Renderscript, Direct3D 11.1[47]

Inconsistent information about CPU cores used in RK3288[edit]
Early reports including Rockchip first suggested in summer 2013 that the RK3288 was originally designed using a quad-core ARM Cortex-A12 configuration.[48] Rockchip's primary foundry partner GlobalFoundries announced a partnership with ARM to optimize the ARM Cortex-A12 for their 28 nm-SLP process.[49] This is the same process used for earlier Rockchip chips such as the RK3188, and matches the choice of Cortex-A12 cores in the design of the RK3288.
In January 2014, official marketing materials listed the CPU cores as ARM Cortex-A17. At the CES electronics show in January 2014, someone apparently corrected the CPU specification as being ARM Cortex-A12 instead of Cortex-A17 on one of the panels of their show booth.[50] However, since then, official specifications from Rockchip's website and marketing materials as well specifications used by device manufacturers have continued to describe the CPU as a quad-core ARM Cortex-A17.
Recent testing of early RK3288-based TV boxes (August/September 2014) provided evidence that the RK3288 technically contains Cortex-A12 cores, since the "ARM 0xc0d" CPU archtitecture reported by CPU-Z for Android is the reference for Cortex-A12, while the original Cortex-A17 is referred to as "ARM 0xc0e".[45]
However, on the ARM community website, ARM clarified the situation on October 1, 2014, saying that Cortex-A12, for which Rockchip is one of the few known customers, will be called Cortex-A17 from now on, and that all references to Cortex-A12 have been removed from ARM's website.[46] ARM explained that the latest production revision of Cortex-A12 now performs close to the level of Cortex-A17 because the improvements of the Cortex-A17 now also have been applied to the latest version of Cortex-A12. In this way, Rockchip now gets the official blessing from ARM for listing the cores inside the RK3288 as Cortex-A17.
The first Android TV stick based on RK3288 was launched in November 2014 ("ZERO Devices Z5C Thinko"[51]).
RK33xx series[edit]
Rockchip announced the first member of the RK33xx family at the CES show in January 2015. The RK3368 is a SoC targeting tablets and media boxes featuring a 64-bit octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU and an OpenGL ES 3.1-class GPU.[52]
- Octa-core Cortex-A53 up to 1.5 GHz
- High-performance PowerVR SGX6110 GPU with support for OpenGL 3.1 and OpenGL ES 3.0
- 4Kx2K H.264/H.265 real-time video playback
- HDMI 2.0 with 4Kx2K @ 60 fps display output

2016 Lifetime Achievement Award Winners
Jane B. Moore
Jane B. Moore made significant professional contributions to Auburn University over a 28-year career on the faculty of the College of Education and the Department of Health and Human Performance (now the School of Kinesiology). Her service to Auburn has been recognized with the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award and the Pamela Wells Sheffield Award, which recognizes Auburn women exemplifying grace, character and a community-minded spirit. Moore collaborated with other researchers within Auburn University's Motor Behavior Laboratory, making scholarly contributions to advance the understanding about how children move and learn to move. She was the first woman to serve on the Auburn University Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics. In 2003, she became the first woman at Auburn to have an athletic facility named solely in her honor when the Auburn Softball Complex was renamed Jane B. Moore Field in recognition of her dedication and service to athletics at Auburn University. Active in community service, Moore is an annual member of the Auburn Alumni Association.
Edward Lee "Ed Lee" Spencer Class of 1952
Ed Lee Spencer was the first Fulbright Scholarship recipient from Auburn University. After completing his studies, he worked at Spencer Lumber Co., then expanded his interest in construction by establishing Lee Electrical Supply, Spencer Heating and Air and Auburn Millwork. In 1975, Spencer joined AuburnBank's Board of Directors and, in 1985, became chairman of the board. In 1990, he was named president and CEO of AuburnBank and currently is again serving as chairman of the board. Under his leadership, the bank added branches in other cities in Alabama and moved from $25 million in total assets to more than $668 million by the end of 2007. In 1991, U.S. Banker magazine named AuburnBank among the nation's top 200 community banks, the only bank in Alabama to receive this recognition. In 2011, Spencer was inducted into the Alabama Business Hall of Fame. Active in community service, where he has been a longtime advocate of affordable housing for moderate-income families, Spencer and his wife, the former Ruth Priester, have three grown children. He is a life member of the Auburn Alumni Association.
Col. James Shelton "Jim" Voss Class of 1972
Jim Voss went to work at NASA's Johnson Space Center in 1984 and was selected as an astronaut in 1987, training for space shuttle flights as well as training in Russia as a backup crew member to the Mir Space Station. Beginning in 1991, Voss began 10 years of shuttle space flights, including 163 days as a member of the Expedition 2 crew on the International Space Station. Since his retirement from NASA in 2003, Voss has been a professor and associate dean of engineering at Auburn, vice president for space exploration systems at the Transformational Space Corp., vice president of engineering for SpaceDev and director of advanced programs at Sierra Nevada Corp. In 2009, Voss joined the faculty of the University of Colorado as a full-time Scholar in Residence. He was inducted into the Alabama Engineering Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Alabama Aviation Hall of Fame in 2001. Voss is married to the former Suzan Curry '71, a member of the Dean's Leadership Council in the Auburn College of Science and Mathematics. The couple has one daughter. Jim and Suzan Voss are joint life members of the Auburn Alumni Association.
Walter Stanley "Walt" Woltosz Class of 1969
Walt Woltosz developed his first augmentative communication system for persons with severe communication disabilities after his mother-in-law was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease). That first iteration, which is still on display at the Smithsonian Institute two decades later, led him in 1981 to establish Words+, a company that offered many firsts for communication needs for the severely disabled. Renowned astrophysicist Sir Stephen Hawking wrote "A Brief History of Time" using Woltosz's technology in 1988.

I give up on bloggers trying to learn these basic concepts…. it's sad. I use slang in my posts only because I am lazy, but not knowing the difference between they're their and there bugs me.
Hopefully some people out there, COUGH infectedbybugs.com COUGH will learn the differences…..
I recently found this page on Google and decided to bookmark it so I could provide this link. If there was ever a book to help with grammar The King's English by H. W. Fowler is the best I've ever read, aside from the lack of a PDF format. It's very intensive, but definitely worth the read if you can get into it.
Still, most of us are prone to occasionally severe grammatical errors. I've always found that reading over a post before it's submitted is probably the best bet to finding these errors.
Woah . . . just had a wicked flash back to English class. Good tips though. The "picture your reader sitting in front of you" is a good visualization. It is important, to keep a good reference like that while your writing. It does set the tone for your post.
Wow! I feel like I just went through elementary school english class. You have a great way of describing correct grammer and I like the examples you use. I will be checking out some of the links you suggest.
Thanks for an English grammar lesson.
Didn't read till the end but it was interesting for the person for whom English language is not native.
An interesting article with some interesting points. However, it seems that you wrote this under the pretense that people actually want to have perfect grammar in their posts. I certainly don't in mine! I liked your suggestion to imagine the reader is right in front of you; generally I write in that style, as if I were speaking to a friend. When I speak to a friend though, I use slang, I use sloppy English, and I don't think twice about it. While I agree with the majority of your points, I think that while one should be aware of grammatical rules, they shouldn't allow their writing style to be a slave to them. You mention this in your third recommendation, to which I would like to offer an addition: Have a clear idea of what you want to communicate, and try to make your posts 'flow'. If you're unsure if your writing is difficult to read, have someone proofread it for you, or read it aloud. People often omit words during the typing process, and your mind simply fills in the blanks as you read it back to yourself in your head. It's not a 100% foolproof way to catch these errors, but it's something.
At the end of the day, bloggers should just write the way they feel most comfortable. Do I write using the passive voice? Sure, all the time! Do I care? Nope! Then again, I'm not trying to make money from blogging, I'm not trying to get published in academic journals, heck, I'm not even writing to Penthouse Forum. I wish I had an excuse to do the latter though…
BTW, there's an error in your article. Perhaps you put it in on purpose though, you sly dog!
My writing skills also not good enough, to check my grammar I using some software to check the mistake.
After: 😆
My writing skills also not good enough, to check my grammar, I was using some software to check the mistake.

Hold it, PAL. Your entire post is negated when you did the paranormal investigator response. Just because someone studies the stuff the mainstream won't touch does not make that person stupid or a kook.
Never claimed it did. I meant exactly what I wrote: that the only relevant piece of information in your post was you identifying yourself as a paranormal investigator. The entire rest of that post was you attempting to JUSTIFY your paranormal interests in light of the attacks you expect to receive.
Considering this is a science and technology forum, this is a bit like going to a Christian message board and announcing "I am a Secular-Humanist." You could go on to write another 600 words describing your religious beliefs, but they wouldn't reveal anything that wasn't made extremely clear in those first four words.
And I won't take seriously an organization like NASA first because they can't even convert metric to English, which is too stupid to be stupid, and the fact we've done nothing but go in low earth orbit for 30 years
Really? What have YOU accomplished in space for the last 30 years?
and the fact we got the Brookings Report saying we'll all go crazy and kill each other if we find alien life or evidence of it....not what I'd call them having done better research...
Since the Brookings Report doesn't actually say that, that sort of illustrates my point about research quality.
from past experience, when someone outside the mainstream puts up evidence that can hold up in a court of law, the mainstreamers and naysayers will shout 'tinfoil hat, conspiracy theorist! LOL!"
Actually what they say is "We find the defendant not-guilty," since that's usually the kind of evidence that's presented in a
court of law.
Please bear in mind, science-themed message boards are NOT courts of law, and neither are pop-sci magazines. Paranomal Investigators get the reputation they have BECAUSE they are constantly claiming to be derided and/or threatened and marginalized by mainstream science.
From MY personal experience, they are NOT derided or marginalized, they are simply IGNORED, because no one in the mainstream thinks they know what they're talking about. You should also bear in mind that this is something paranormal investigators have in common with about 90% of mainstream scientists. Theoretical science IN GENERAL is a pretty cutthroat affair.
so I can put up reams of actual data and documents till you are blue in the face...
Out of genuine curiosity: would any of that be original research? Or would that be hyperlinks to paranomal websites you personally find credible?
And with regards to the stuff like the ancient aliens theory, our ancestors were not stupid, they simply had not the words to describe what they saw
And you never once considered the possibility that they DID have the words and described it exactly as they saw it?
used words like metal bird, metal dragon, flying shield, etc.
Exactly. Why, to you, is a "spaceship" a more likely explanation than any of those things? Especially considering the writings themselves may have been intentional fabrications? (The concept of "fiction" was known to ancient peoples too, methinks; entertainment CERTAINLY was).
I mean, hell, even a metal dragon -- or a heavily armored one -- hints at a recently-extinct reptile species. Aliens, not so much.
And for the paranormal investigator 'title', what you want me to call myself
A paranormal investigator.
Because anything else would be just confusing.

Baby Bowser
"Ahh...nothing quite like good cookies and some evil milk."
Baby Bowser (called Prince Bowser or King Bowser by his minions), also known as Baby Koopa[1], is a recurring villain in the Yoshi series. He was designed to be the infant self of Bowser. Although not related to him, Kamek is mainly responsible for his child rearing. Baby Bowser looks almost identical to his adult form's child, Bowser Jr.. The only difference between the two is that Bowser Jr. has a painting on his bandanna, while Baby Bowser's is blank, or he does not wear it at all.
Yoshi series[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[edit]
Baby Bowser is the final boss of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. He appears at the end of his castle as Kamek is demanding that Yoshi hand over Baby Mario, waking and complaining that "it's too noisy". He then Ground Pounds Kamek and kicks him away, noticing Yoshi immediately afterward and wanting to ride the "gween donkey". Baby Bowser attacks by ground pounding wherever Yoshi is, creating shockwaves on the ground. In addition, if Baby Mario is knocked off of Yoshi's back, Baby Bowser climbs onto his back instead. Baby Bowser can be hit by ground pounding the ground close to him, and after three hits Baby Bowser is beaten. Kamek shows up and uses his magic on him, causing him to grow to a gigantic size, destroying the castle around him. Baby Bowser is also the only boss who must be defeated before Kamek casts a spell on him.
The final battle takes place on the remains of the room; at the beginning Baby Bowser sends debris down to destroy part of the ground. During the second phase, Baby Bowser attacks by breathing fireballs at Yoshi, advancing from in the background. If Baby Bowser gets too close the ground is destroyed, instantly defeating Yoshi. The player must grab the Giant Eggs that Baron von Zeppelins carry onto the stage and throw them into the background at Baby Bowser to knock him back. After enough hits, he simply charges forward, and after being defeated he is returned to his normal size and knocked out. Afterward, Kamek reappears and vows revenge before flying off with Baby Bowser. Yoshi then sprints up to the Stork and Baby Luigi, freeing them both and allowing the Stork to deliver the babies to their parents.
It's possible to defeat Baby Bowser even when the platform is gone. If done, he falls down, and Yoshi falls, landing on a platform where Baby Luigi and the Stork are. Yoshi will notice Kamek, who flies off. Then, the rest will be back to normal.
Yoshi's Story[edit]
Baby Bowser gets his revenge in Yoshi's Story when he steals the Super Happy Tree, the source of all the happiness throughout Yoshi's Island. To make matters worse, he turns the entire island into a pop-up book. It's up to a bunch of Baby Yoshis to stop him. After some venturing, the Baby Yoshis uncover Baby Bowser in his castle and one of them duels him to reclaim the Super Happy Tree. Baby Yoshi has to hit Baby Bowser with Bob-ombs while the prince is riding his "pet" and knock him off. The battle is then on the ground where Baby Bowser shoots fireballs, throws bombs, and sends shock-waves; Yoshi has to hit him a few more times to beat him. After being beaten, Bowser surrenders, and allows the baby Yoshis to have the Super Happy Tree back, rationalizing that the fruit tasted horrible to him anyway, before being carried out by his Toadies while sobbing.
Yoshi Touch & Go[edit]
Baby Bowser makes a cameo in Yoshi Touch & Go as one of the selectable high score icons. He also appears when Yoshi gets a Game Over with over 3000 yards on the Challenge Mode, laughing with Kamek.
Yoshi's Island DS[edit]
During the events of Yoshi's Island DS, Baby Bowser is at his castle when his future self shows up to kidnap the star children and gain control of the universe. Baby Bowser is ironically abducted by the future Kamek and brought to Bowser's Castle. When he realizes what's going on, he insults his grown-up self and his plan, calling him an "old geezer." Enraged and oblivious to the fact that his younger self is one of the star children, the Koopa King kicks Baby Bowser out of the castle.
As Baby Bowser plummets, he swears revenge and once he lands, he yells into the sky in a futile attempt to remind his older self that they're one and the same. Baby Bowser then notices Baby Mario and tells him he sees Baby Luigi in Bowser's Castle. Baby Bowser then realizes that he has just landed on Yoshi and is stoked to get a ride from him. Baby Bowser is then playable for the remainder of World 4; as the Nintendo Power Player's Guide puts it, he shows up to "kick some major enemy butt, of course!" While carrying him, Yoshi can't swallow enemies, as this move is replaced with the young Koopa's ability to breathe fireballs; this defeats enemies and melts ice cubes. Once Big Guy the Stilted is defeated, Baby Bowser leaves Yoshi's group in an attempt to hitch a ride from the future Kamek as he flies off to report to the adult Bowser. However, Baby Bowser loses his grip and falls off of Kamek's broomstick.
Baby Bowser later rejoins Yoshi's group, along with Baby Wario, when they reach Bowser's Castle. He eventually betrays them and attacks Yoshi and the babies, believing they're after his treasure. The fight goes much like the previous one, but faster. Yoshi beats the little prince and Kamek takes him away, leaving the group to the future Bowser, who is angry at what Yoshi did to his younger self. He is then eventually defeated. At the end of the game, Baby Bowser falls off Kamek's broom and lands on a barge carrying his treasure, now claimed by Baby Wario; an argument between the two young misers inevitably ensues.
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
After a 7-year hiatus, Baby Bowser appears in Yoshi's New Island as one of the game's main antagonists (alongside Kamek). In this game, he plans to turn Egg Island into his vacation home, so the Yoshis, as well as adventuring to rescue Baby Luigi, go out to stop Baby Bowser's plan. At the end, the scenario is similar to the original Yoshi's Island. He is once again awaken from his slumber, only to crush and kick Kamek out. He soon notices the "familar green donkey" and proceeds to try and ride Yoshi again.
He is the penultimate boss of the game in a two part battle reminiscent of his battle in Super Mario World 2, though the second part of the battle (where he once again becomes a giant thanks to Kamek) is more similar to the battle with Giant Bowser in New Super Mario Bros. U. His voice in this game is a more baby sounding voice of his future son. After he is defeated, and before the stork and Baby Luigi are rescued, his future self appears out of nowhere, making Yoshi and Baby Mario battle him.
Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]
Baby Bowser is the final boss in Yoshi's Woolly World. Baby Bowser is seen waiting for Kamek. Then, Yoshi and Red Yoshi appear and Baby Bowser then starts the battle with him. After he gets defeated, Kamek uses the power of the Wonder Wool to make him grow in size, transforming him into Mega Baby Bowser. The Yoshis successfully defeat Mega Baby Bowser and the Wonder Wool releases, causing him to turn back to normal. After all the Yoshis are turned back to normal, Baby Bowser is then taken away by Kamek, He is last seen near a moon with Kamek carrying him. Poochy pops out of the moon, causing Kamek to get shocked and drop Baby Bowser. He is also the only baby in the Yoshi series that appears in the game.
The first battle with him has him climbing on the curtains, breathing fire, and moving between the path and background, Kamek can also make Baby Bowser grow for a short time using his wand. When he is larger, Baby Bowser can slam the ground to release lava. In his Mega Baby Bowser form, he can slam his hand onto the ground to crush Yoshi, stamp his feet to create lava, breathe a large amount of fire and destroy parts of the Castle tower.
Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
A Trophy of Baby Bowser as he appears in Yoshi's Story can be obtained at random in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Mario & Luigi series[edit]
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]
Baby Bowser's first and only appearance in the Mario & Luigi series is in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, where he is a major antagonist. He first appears at the beginning of the game, in an attempt to kidnap Baby Peach. Luckily, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi show up in the nick of time to play with Baby Peach. After Baby Mario defeats him however, the Shroobs attack Princess Peach's Castle. Fortunately, everyone manages to escape on Baby Bowser's Koopa Cruiser. On the way to his castle, Baby Bowser picks the Mario and Luigi from the future to get Baby Peach to stop crying. On the Koopa Cruiser, he receives a transmission from Princess Shroob at Shroob Castle. She tells the crew something in the Shroobs' language and shoots down the Koopa Cruiser with a Shroob missile.
Baby Bowser is flung away from the Koopa Cruiser on the impact, into his castle. Eventually, he realizes that the Mario Bros. have stolen the Cobalt Star Shard from his castle and tracked the Bros. down at the Vim Factory, where he swipes both his Cobalt Star Shard and the one the Bros. have just snatched from Swiggler.
Baby Bowser then flees to the peak of Yoshi's Island with his caretaker, Kamek, where he orders Kamek to snatch the Yoshi Cookies from the Yoshis. When the Mario Bros. catch up to Baby Bowser at the peak, he scarfs down all the Yoshi Cookies, but starts choking. Baby Bowser then leaves to the other side of the peak after Kamek had given him some "evil" milk. After the Mario Bros. defeat Kamek, they corner him at the other side of the peak. Without thinking his plans through, Baby Bowser eats the Cobalt Star Shards. Soon after, he and the Mario Bros. are eaten by Yoob.
Inside Yoob, Baby Bowser, along with the Yoshis already eaten, are put inside a Yoshi Egg. When the Mario Bros. confront Sunnycide, a monster within Yoob, he throws the egg Baby Bowser is in at Luigi, breaking it open. After the Mario Bros. defeat Sunnycide, Baby Bowser and all of the swallowed Yoshis escape Yoob.
Back on Yoshi's Island, Baby Bowser informs the Yoshis that he saved them from Yoob. Having believed him, the Yoshis give him the rest of their Yoshi Cookies when the Mario Bros. and Toadbert show up and tell the Yoshis that he is lying. Baby Bowser then eats all of the Yoshi Cookies and gets sick. He vomits the Cobalt Star Shards, which, seemingly with a mind of their own, hit him and fling him off of Yoshi's Island.
Later on, Baby Bowser heads off to Thwomp Volcano to build a new castle, where he meets his future self, Bowser. After a minor argument, Baby Bowser and Bowser team up, not knowing the other ones identity, against the Mario Bros.. They end up being beaten after the battle and flung into the sky by a Thwomp, where Bowser ends up in a Time Hole and Baby Bowser ends up on top of the Shroob Mothership.
Baby Bowser shows up again after the Bros. have defeated Princess Shroob and, despite being warned, he put the Cobalt Star Shards together and completed the Cobalt Star, releasing Elder Princess Shroob. Baby Bowser is then turned into a Shroob Mushroom. Baby Luigi's tears later turn him back to his normal state. Baby Bowser shows up at the end of the game going home and complaining about losing the Cobalt Star.
Physical appearance[edit]
Baby Bowser shares many physical qualities with his adult counterpart, Bowser. They both have red hair and black cuffs on their arms. Baby Bowser has cuffs on his neck in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and in Yoshi's Story. In these appearances, Baby Bowser appears with spiked cuffs, while in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Yoshi's Island DS, his cuffs appear with no spikes. Like Bowser, Baby Bowser has two red eyebrows, a green shell with spikes, and two small nostrils on his nose. Baby Bowser also has claws on his hands and his feet. Unlike Bowser, Baby Bowser either has no horns or his horns are small and stubby, much like Bowser Jr.'s, depending on the game.
His personality is similar to Bowser Jr.'s. A spoiled child, Baby Bowser frequently throws tantrums in hopes that his minions, Kamek, and the Koopa Troop will give him what he wants. He is greedy and also very gluttonous, as shown in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, where he eats a huge pile of Yoshi Cookies and the Cobalt Star. Toadbert calls him a "Little Piggie". He even insulted his future self in Yoshi's Island DS.
Even as a child, Baby Bowser demonstrated some of his adult self's traits, such as breathing fire and possessing a surprising amount of strength, being able to redirect his adult self's heavy shell with a hammer swing in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Unlike Bowser, he seems to be more active and has a bigger appetite.

As a Leica-phile, I feel it is my duty to point out that the best thing about a leica, IMHO, is its ability to quietly, inconspicuously, and easily allow you to take a photo in just about any lighting situation. Which means that you will eventually want a fast lens. And the leica fast lenses are probably the best in existence(again, purely my opinion). The bottom line is that an f/4 lens on a leica is akin to putting tire chains on a Porsche. I would recommend a prime lens - probably the 35 or 28. And at least f/2 in speed. If you can afford the 35/1.4 or the 35/2, you will probably never need another lens in that focal length.
I used Nikons for 20 years (and still do for stuff like closeups), and I always would stop down few clicks when I wanted a truly crispy negative. The beauty of the Leica glass is that the lenses are pretty outstanding (for the most part) when they are wide open. And they get even better stopped down. The lens you mentioned is certainly a fine lens, but it is slow. However, the fast leica prime lenses will allow you to use the camera the way it was designed to be used, and sometimes will produce results for you wouldl never get with any other system.
two cents worth of opinion.

We describe what we believe is the first reported case of an angioleiomyoma on the dorsum of the nose. The patient was a 65-year-old woman who presented with a year-long history of an intermittently recurrent lump on the right side of the dorsum. The lesion was removed via an open rhinoplasty approach. Histologic examination identified it as an angioleiomyoma.
Despite the characteristic of extensive destruction of the temporal bone in this disease, the facial nerve is surprisingly resistant to destruction, and facial nerve palsy is rare.
Hemangiopericytomas of the head and neck are rarely found in the parapharyngeal space. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman who presented with a globus sensation in her throat. Imaging detected a left submucosal oropharyngeal mass that extended into the prestyloid parapharyngeal space. The tumor was surgically excised en bloc. Histopathologic examination identified it as a hemangiopericytoma. We discuss the diagnosis and management of this rare entity.
Foregut duplication cysts are true mucus-filled cysts lined with a thin epithelial layer, arising from either bronchogenic, esophageal, or neuroenteric precursor tissue.
We report a rare case of primary laryngeal actinomycosis, which occurred in a 35-year-old woman with end-stage renal failure secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus with membranous glomerulonephritis. The patient, who had been on long-term immunosuppression therapy, presented with hoarseness. Flexible laryngoscopy detected the presence of a granular glottic mass at the anterior commissure of the larynx. Histology revealed actinomycotic organisms associated with an abscess. The patient was treated with a prolonged course of oral penicillin V and speech therapy, and her dysphonia resolved almost completely. Although actinomycotic infection of the larynx is rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hoarseness in an immunocompromised patient.
Given the spectrum of potential poor outcomes, some consensus has emerged in favor of early surgical management of significant ankyloglossia.
Nasal actinomycosis is a rare disease. We present a case of nasal actinomycosis causing symptoms similar to those of a nasal foreign body. A 34-year-old woman presented with a long history of halitosis and unilateral offensive, purulent rhinorrhea. Rigid nasendoscopy showed a hard, dark gray mass between the middle and inferior turbinates. Computed tomography findings were typical of a nasal foreign body. Endoscopic removal of the mass was performed, and histopathology established a diagnosis of actinomycosis. We suggest that every clinician confronted with unilateral nasal symptoms and/or signs should have this clinical entity in mind, since it has justifiably been characterized as the head and neck "mimic."
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a proliferative disorder that affects synovium-lined joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. It appears in both diffuse and localized forms, depending on the extent of synovial involvement. PVNS rarely involves the temporomandibular joint (TMJ); when it does, it manifests clinically as a slowly growing and painless preauricular mass that resembles a parotid tumor. TMJ dysfunction, paresthesia, and/or hearing loss can result. We present a case of a large extra-articular PVNS of the TMJ, and we review the literature.
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is primarily used for a variety of dental purposes, but it may also yield nondental findings that can have significant implications for patient health. For example, physicians should be aware that CBCT can identify some of the etiopathogenic causes of obstructive sleep apnea, as occurred in the case described in this report. The patient was a 76-year-old man who presented to a dentist for implant therapy. A CBCT that had been performed in preparation for dental implant placement revealed the presence of a large hypopharyngeal lesion that was obstructing the airway. An otolaryngologist excised the lesion, which on biopsy proved to be a lipoma. Following removal of the lesion, the patient's episodic sleep apnea and snoring resolved. Medical physicians should be aware of maxillofacial CBCT technology and its ability to identify lesions that could cause potential life-threatening situations.
The extravasation type is the most common mucocele, more common in children and young adults, with a peak in the second decade of life.
Cervical ectopic thymus is a rare cause of solid neck masses in children. Most children are asymptomatic, but some may present with a palpable neck mass, with or without compressive symptoms. Cervical ectopic thymus is often discovered incidentally and mistaken for an infection or neoplasm. We present the case of an infant with retropharyngeal ectopic thymus and describe our intraoral surgical approach.

MINNEAPOLIS See the point guard collapsed on the court, clutching his right ankle? The one the Minnesota Timberwolves struggled to replace in the fourth quarter of Monday's 116-108 loss in Sacramento, the one who'd denied injuries for weeks despite bruises and ice packs, constant stiffness and pain?He was supposed to be traded. At least, that's what speculation said. It's what common sense would have dictated after signing Ricky Rubio and J.J. Barea. Who needs Luke Ridnour? He's undersized, older, not much of a household name, a third point guard that seemed like one too many. In December and again in early March, Ridnour seemed dispensable. But instead of trading or benching him as the cries for Rubio to start echoed through the Target Center in early January, Minnesota coach Rick Adelman built his offense in Minnesota around Ridnour, to a certain extent. Because as much as benching Rubio to open the season made a statement about earning minutes and where a rookie stands, Rubio wa...

I like the extra gas to be on the bike not in my backpack! I think all KTM's should come stock with a 3 gallon tank... Now we can ride all day and not stress over running out of gas. It looks very stock and would not know that it bigger than the stock tank On long Moab rides I may still carry a small bottle of gas in the Backpack? There seams to be no issues...I have only rode 3 days with it on Looks Good!Read All Reviews

The step seat does keep you in the cockpit, not letting you slide back. It will take a ride or two to adjust to, but once you do you won't notice it. I did have to adjust the suspension to accommodate my weight consistently being more forward on the bike.Read All Reviews
