Devanahalli, also called "Devandahalli", "Dyaavandalli", Devanadoddi and Devanapura, is a town and Town Municipal Council in Bangalore Rural district in the state of Karnataka in India. The town is located 40 kilometres (25 mi) to the north-east of Bangalore. Devanahalli is the site of the Bengaluru International Airport, the second largest airport in India. A multi-billion-dollar Devanahalli Business Park with two IT Parks are coming up on nearly 400 acres (1.6 km2) adjoining the airport. An Aerospace Park, Science Park and a ₹10 billion (US$150 million) Financial City are also coming up.[1] A new satellite ring road will connect the city with Doddaballapur. Devanahalli is situated near the upcoming ₹1500 billion (US$22 billion), 12,000-acre (49 km2) BIAL IT Investment Region, to be the largest IT region in India.[2]
Total infrastructure development in the area is estimated to be well over ₹2045 billion (US$30 billion) over the next two years. With significant commercial and residential development in the area, real estate is in high demand in the region.[3][4] Devanahalli was the birthplace of Tipu Sultan, popularly known as the "Fishseller of Mysore".[5]
The history of Devanahalli dates back to 15th century, when a family of fleeing refugees from Conjeevaram (modern day Kanchi), camped near the foot of Ramaswami betta, east of Nandi Hills. Their leader Rana Baire Gowda was apparently directed in a dream to set up a settlement in this region. He and his Morasu Wokkalu family settled in a small village, Ahuti, which was later known as Avati. His son Malla Baire Gowda founded Devanahalli, Chikka-ballapura and Dodda-ballapura.Kempegowda, the founder of Bangalore city is also from Morasu Wokkalu family.[5]
Devanahalli was part of Gangawadi and later came under the rule of Rashatrakutas, Nolamba, Pallavas, Cholas, Hoysalas and the Vijayanagara rulers. During the time of Vijayanagra rule, Malla Baire constructed the initial mud fort in 1501 AD with the consent of Devaraya at Devanadoddi, the previous name of Devanahalli. In 1747 AD, the fort passed into the hands of the Wodeyars of Mysore under the command of Nanja Raja. It was conquered many times from the Marathas and later came under the control of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.
Tipu also renamed it as Yousafabad (the abode of Yousuf, the finest man) which never got popular.[8] The fort finally fell into the British, under Lord Cornwallis in 1791, during the Mysore War.
As of 2001[update] India census,[6] Devanahalli had a population of 23,190. Males constituted 52% of the population and females 48%. Devanahalli had an average literacy rate of 66%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy was 73% and female literacy was 58%. In Devanahalli, 12% of the population was under 6 years of age.
Devanahalli is just an hour's drive from Bangalore. There has been a growth of tourist traffic recently due to the impetus provided by the Bangalore International Airport.
The Venugopalaswamy Temple is one of the temples within the walls of the Devanahalli Fort. The courtyard is spacious. The walls of the temple depict various scenes from Ramayana and the pillars have beautiful statues carved on them. Other temples are dedicated to Ranganatha and Chandramouleshwara.[7]

Kempegowda International Airport[edit]
The Kempegowda International Airport, which opened on 23 May 2008, is located approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Devanahalli. The terminal was designed to serve up to 12 million passengers per year, but has been expanded to cater to 15 million passengers. It can be reached from Devanahalli by heading south on NH 7 and taking the left exit on the trumpet interchange.

Sparda The Devil Hunter by lithiumsaintWatch
©2010-2016 lithiumsaint
My first pic for the 2010. As i promised one time, here is Sparda, father of Dante and Vergil, and the most powerfull devil hunter. I wish to dedicate this pic for all the people who has favourited "Devil May Cry All stars". Surely i must change the pic and hope he same or more favs!
Hope you like it!
Hope you like it!
What would've made this even more boss is if Sparda was carrying Force Edge on his back and Yamato at his side, as well as holding Rebellion like he is now. Either way, I love this artwork of him!
i´m not a huge fan of DMC series. I try to do him like the original design. I don´t know much about his story, just know he´s the father of Dante and Vergil...
Awesome work; it reinforces just how badass Sparda was- standing victoriously over a dead demon
This drawing defines the badassery of sparda, really nice, I love it
Love it! Very nicely done.
Really nice, unique and characteristic views is like dropping Hmm.. so drawn You use a translator site and posts I'm a little awkward English grammar.. Oh, and I really like the picture
I´m Glad you like it! This pic has a lot of time.
The poorly written answer could ever late? Sorry! Like a consequence, you am Thank you for this picture is also very pleased to be really good to me as a person who like drawing pictures. It feels like I think you would have done a good painting. There must have been as great as it takes time
muy buen trabajo me encanto la imagen solo un pequeño detalle Sparda deberia de sostener el Force Edge no Rebellion
Now the important question...how did he keep the blood from splattering his clothes?
uhn, Sparda has Dante's sword and Vergil's hairdo
As i know, there´s not an official image from Capcom of Sparda´s looklike. I don´t mind if thw sword is correct or not, there are things like composition, colors, and much more which are more important than put the "correct" sword.
well its established in the games that he used a sword bearing his own name which is the force edge (devil may cry 1) as well as yamato (also devil may cry 1)
didn't Spada use ForceEdge, not Rebellion?
I just put this sword because i like the design, i´m not trying to draw all of them with it´s correct swords or weapons. Really, i don´t know what is ForceEgde. I remember Trish uses the orginal sword of Sparda, called Sparda too.
whoa...so THATS what Sparda looks like...
jejej i don´t know if Sparda looks like this way, there are a few official pics!
Oh Sparda, so classy but dangerous.
Thanks! I don´t know if this outfit is the iofficial, but i like the style!
I usually see this outfit a lot so I consider it an official outfit. Though sometimes I sketch him in simpler clothes. XD
It's very amazing.
It's very amazing.
He looks classy, yet powerful.
Wow he looks so class ! Very good job !
At last, my dreams have come true - to see Sparda drawn by you ~!
At last, my dreams have come true - to see Sparda drawn by you ~!
wow!! I don´t know what to say but thank you very much!!!I supposed there are better drawings than mine but i appreciate a lot your words!!!!!
Thnaks a lot too for the fav!
Thnaks a lot too for the fav!
Aw don't mention it ~! I wish there had been lots of Sparda pictures in dA - he's such an enigmatic pivotal figure in DMC.
As i know, he only appears in DMC 2 when Dante´s vital is near end. Actually i try to finish DMC 4 very it´s as difficult as DMC 3. Hope you like my pic!
Yes, that...and that players can outfit Dante in Sparda's costume in DMC1 and DMC3 - but it's rare to see videos of players playing Dante as Sparda in DMC3, something I've been looking forward to very much because in spite of the aristocratic elegance, Dante in that outfits still looks as hot and awesome as ever !
Yes, this styling of yours on Sparda is definitely one of my favourites~! Good luck with your DMC4 gameplay!

Bachmann's Egypt remarks "unbelievable, ludicrous... comic if it wasn't so painful," expert says [VIDEO]
Bachmann's comments in Cairo on Sunday might've been better suited for Saturday night on NBC.
Michele Bachmann's remarks about the Muslim Brotherhood during her weekend visit to Egypt were so preposterous, one expert on the country compared them to a Saturday Night Live skit.
SEE ALSO: Bachmann won't run again: Top 10 tweets
In other words, unfortunately, it's business as usual.
Bachmann visited Egypt with two other congressional kings of unintentional comedy -- Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas (one of our "10 Weirdest Members of Congress") and Representative Steve King of Iowa (read out post about how out of touch King is regarding rape here).
During a news conference yesterday, Bachmann falsely blamed the Muslim Brotherhood for the 9/11 terror attacks while Gohmert compared the leader of Egypt's brutal military takeover to George Washington. (Would Washington be alright with shooting unarmed protesters or suspending the rule of law? We think not, but Gohmert nonetheless praised Egyptian General Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi for creating a government where the rule of law is "king," according to a New York Times report.)
"We have seen the threat that the Muslim Brotherhood has posed around the world. We stand against this great evil," Bachmann said, according to the Times. "We remember who caused 9/11. We remember who it was that killed 3,000 brave Americans."
America and Egypt "have that common enemy, the terrorists who have shown themselves so recently in the form of the Muslim Brotherhood," Bachmann continued. "We don't have a choice. They must be defeated."
In truth, the Brotherhood condemned the 9/11 attacks, which, of course, were the work of Al Qaeda.
The NYT report details some expert reaction to the comments made by Bachmann and her friends (emphasis ours):
"We have a confluence of interests among the coup leaders in Egypt and Islamophobes in the Congress," said Samer Shehata, a political scientist at the University of Oklahoma who studies Egypt and the Brotherhood.
He called the lawmakers' statements "utterly absurd" and compared the conference to "a 'Saturday Night Live' skit -- unbelievable, ludicrous, almost comic if it wasn't so painful."
Shadi Hamid, research director of the Brookings Doha Center, said it was especially "concerning" that members of Congress appeared "so unaware of the basic facts of 9/11."
So much for the détente we were feeling toward Michele last week following her surprisingly reasonable comments about the possibility of American military intervention in Syria.

ABSTRACT: Although normal human keratinocytes are known to migrate toward the cathode in a direct current (DC) electric field, other effects of the electric stimulation on keratinocyte activities are still unclear. We have investigated the keratinocyte differentiation under monodirectional pulsed electric stimulation which reduces the electrothermal and electrochemical hazards of a DC application. When cultured keratinocytes were exposed to the electric field of 3 V (ca. 100 mV/mm) or 5 V (ca. 166 mV/mm) at a frequency of 4,800 Hz for 5 min a day for 5 days, cell growth under the 5-V stimulation was significantly suppressed as compared with the control culture. Expression of mRNAs encoding keratinocyte differentiation markers such as keratin 10, involucrin, transglutaminase 1, and filaggrin was significantly increased in response to the 5-V stimulation, while the 3-V stimulation induced no significant change. After the 5-V stimulation, enhanced immunofluorescent stainings of involucrin and filaggrin were observed. These results indicate that monodirectional pulsed electric stimulation induces the keratinocyte differentiation with growth arrest.

Article: Effects of vitamin C deficiency on the skin of the senescence marker protein-30 (SMP30) knockout mouse[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Senescence marker protein-30 (SMP30) is a gluconolactonase required for vitamin C (VC) synthesis. We examined effects of VC deficiency on the mouse skin using SMP30 knockout (KO) mice. SMP30 KO or wild type male mice were weaned around day 30 of age, and fed VC-deficient diet. They were given either VC water or control water. VC deficiency for 36 days did not affect skin hydroxyproline contents, while VC deficiency for 60 days decreased the hydroxyproline levels. Levels of some collagen mRNAs were different among the groups, but did not correlate with skin VC levels. The epidermis was morphologically abnormal in VC-deficient SMP30 KO mouse at 60 days after the weaning. Interestingly, the hair cycle was not synchronized among the groups. These data suggest low susceptibility of the mouse skin to VC deficiency and involvement of VC in the regulation of keratinocyte function and hair cycle in vivo.

My goodness this is simply breathtaking, it has so much movement! Truly an amazing shot.
Woooooooooooooooow O.o
Thank you
amazing shot
That is so awesome the way the clouds cast shadows on the ground. Back in Ireland I remember fast moving clouds that would cast a shadow across the ground and move, and I would run and try to keep up with it to stay in the sunlight. It hasn't happened here yet.
Thank you! This is actually an old photo (and the original photo is very dark and ugly looking - so I tried salvaging what I could for such a low-quality photo). I'm glad people seem to be enjoying it though. And your memories of Ireland sound amazing! There is no place around where I live where the clouds are close enough to the ground to cast definitive shadows like this. But I've visitied places in Germany and Belgium where I've actually seen clouds touching the ground. It was amazing
I think islands like Ireland (lots of people don't realize it's an island) have more chances of that happening because they can become surrounded by low moving clouds because of the ocean winds. In Ireland I could move with clouds all the time there. You could stand in shade while in a wide open field while the hill next to you was in sunlight, so you could walk over to it and be in the sun. It's kind of magical. Faerie magic. I haven't experienced it in the US yet. Maybe someday.
Whoa o.o
Someone said it looked like a miniature... did you use tilt-shift photography? I have experimented with it myself.
Yes, this is tilt shift I have not had a chance to use this effect much, as I do not have a chance to shoot landscapes and scenery that often.

Cuban Cowboys: Spanglish Indie-Rock
Song List
- "Little Maybe Monster"
- "Dichoso"
According to the band's self-written "mythology," Cuban Cowboys' lead singer fell out of Fidel Castro's beard while he was in a bubble bath, smoking and watching TV. Perhaps that's why Cuban Cowboys' members call themselves the "World's Greatest Cuban Surf Rock Band." Most likely, however, the slogan just matches the group's mixture of seriousness and profanity, humor and absurdity, and the seemingly mismatched musical genres of chugging and melodic indie-rock, surf guitar and traditional Cuban son and montuno. And lots of Spanglish.
As of now, the band has four members: "Hialeah" (vocals & guitar), "iLL Postino" (lead guitar), "Diamante En Bruto" (bass) and "Chulito Del Fuego" (drums), also known as Jorge Navarro, Luca Benedetti, Angeline Saris and Andy Sanesi. According to Cuban Cowboys, "Today, the band is busy wreaking havoc on cultural assumptions and rocking their culos off in New York and San Francisco: spreading the word, playing the tunes, and promoting the traditional Cuban values of Ritmo, Amor, y el Consumption of Pork Products. The Cuban Cowboys may not know joo yet, but already they burn with lob for joo."

Lovely little family owned farm. We really enjoyed our time with Bruno learning how he grows and roasts coffee the old fashion way to create beautiful rich flavours.
Bruno and Maria need to be on the register of national treasures for their coffee and warm welcome. This family run business should be supported because of their passion for coffee and their perseverance. The contrast with Coffeeworks is huge, but I know who I would rather support!
Really back to basics, and we loved it. Although blink and you'll miss the entry off the road, we had to turn around and go back.
We thoroughly appreciated our time spent with Bruno and Maria; learning about the process of growing coffee, seeing their humble machinery and roasting/packaging shed, savouring a specially brewed espresso, as well as purchasing some beans to bring home.
It wasn't the easiest to find this place so here are a few tips:
- if you are coming from Kuranda, after...
Whilst in Mareeba you can visit numerous coffee growers. However, you can also visit Maria and Bruno at North Queensland Gold Coffee planation. They give a back to basics insight to coffee growing and personal tour.
Don't be put off by the non-tourist approach, this is a working coffee planation run by Maria and Bruno. They are very friendly.
Well, we missed the sign even though we had been warned and ended up at the "big" plantation two minutes just up the road, which does have rest rooms should you need them :). As we were there we decided to have a look around anyway and have a coffee. We spoke to a lovely lady who told us a...
We decided to visit this coffee plantation on a day trip around the Atherton tablelands it was our first stiop after driving up from Cairns so when we arrived there we need to use the rest rooms
We were very surprised when they said they did not have any public rest rooms so unfortunately we did not get to do...
This is the real coffee experience for real coffee people. Instead of constant pandering to tourists with gift shops over priced food or glossy advertising, this place lets their wealth of experience do the talking. It is a family run business which offers you a chance to tour the plantation with a family that have been doing it most of...
Gold Coffee saved our coffee tour of Mareeba! If you care about coffee, tradition, quality, and want to experience local coffee trade at it's finest, Gold Coffee is the ONLY spot in Mareeba to get it. If you want a gilded experience for the masses, complete with an "exit through the gift shop" sign, follow the buses past this gem....
The elderly Italians here operate the place in the old traditional way. Not a "touristy place" rather unassuming local people

Inspire Me! Rejuvenating my staid list [Boys]
Lately I've been feeling quite bored with my tried-and-true list. For the most part, my list really hasn't changed all that much for the past 3 or so years. There have been a couple additions, but nothing too extreme, and my favorites generally stay the same. I'm not sure how many I'll be getting rid of (they're tried-and-true, after all, and I'm nothing if not a creature of habit!), but I miss not having a new crush every week (or a new favorite every day!). I'm open to anything and everything you think might interest me. Suggestions? Thoughts?
For what it's worth, the names on my list atm:
Grayson "Gray"
Boaz "Beau"
What would you suggest?
Thanks, Berries!Ashley

The reproducers
World fertility rates remain highest in Africa. In 12 African countries, women give birth to an average of more than six children. In Niger and Guinea-Bissau, the average is above seven.

A recurring motif of 2011 has been the reluctance of Middle Eastern rulers to step quietly aside. They have much to lose. In the Gulf states, oil money combined with lack of accountability has allowed heads of state to enjoy lives in which money is a seemingly infinite resource.

Clayton Things to Do
Art Museum, New & Beautiful
Established & respected Washington University has had an art museum for many years. In October, they opened a new one, the Kemper Art Museum, to replace the old one. Finally, I visited yesterday. I am sure I will return many times; it is a very good space. Open & light, with a series of large & small rooms on the first floor for the changing exhibits. The second floor holds the permanent collection ( must return to see that!), and there's more here, too.
Entrance is free, which is great. But we St. Louisans are spoiled by free museums! We don't have to pay to enter many of our museums. Yes, another reason to visit us!
The only thing I didn't like is they have a place you must put your backpacks, but it isn't locked or guarded. If this concerns you, leave your pack, or large bag, someplace else before you arrive?Related to:

Quizno's: Quizno's
This was my first taste of Quizno's, and I was thouroughly impressed, as we do not have one in Louisville. Yes, it's just a regular old, expensive fast-food joint, but it really does taste pretty good!
Favorite Dish: Classic Italian
Il Vicino: Il Vicino
Pretty good restaurant that serves woodoven-baked pizzas. Actually, the chicken pizza I had was excellent, and I wouldn't hesitate to return. Restaurant is definitely casual, and orders are placed at the front, from which point you receive full service.
Favorite Dish: Pollo e Pumante - basically a chicken pizza, but very good

Fashionably Late ,is when you show up to a party 5 minutes late with a Super Model stuck on your cock.......
Look! lee just showed up 5 minutes late with a Super Model stuck on his cock...NOW THATS WHAT I CALL Fashionably Late
Beküldő: deahtub 2008. május 31.
Top Definition
The refined art of being just late enough (5 minutes or so) to give the impression that you are a busy, popular person that was held up with other business.
She arrived at the party fashionably late.
Beküldő: Anna 2003. október 8.
Depending on the type/style of the event fashionably late can also range from 5 minutes (to a dinner date or a small gathering) to 45 minutes-1 hour (21st parties please note that there are also varying categories of 21st parties and discretionary judgement must be exercised). This time frame, or 'cushion', allows enough other people to have already arrived so that it is not only the birthday person and their parents in attendance and also conveys the possibility that you have come from a previous engagement (please refer to above definition).
1 hour late to a dinner party is socially unnacceptable and can protray an undesired tone of self importance however an hour late to a keg party is assumed and will be recognised as being fashionably late (again discretion must be employed to ensure that the beer will not be finished prior to your arrival).
Beküldő: KateO 2007. november 15.
When you show up to a party late, so everyone will think you have a life.

I was wondering whether someone can shed some light on the following issue:
We've been seeing spikes for JDBC calls from within a Spring 2.5.6 based web service run on Websphere 6.1 on AIX for calls into Oracle 64-bit 10.2.0.5.0 The JDBC driver version is 10.2.0.3.0.
We're hitting the database with a single thread, the average response time is for the web service is 16ms, but we're seeing 11 spikes of about 1 seconds or higher (amongst about 11,000 calls in 5 minutes). Introscope is telling us that about half these spikes are caused by "select 1 from dual" (which the Websphere connection pool uses to validate the connection).
On the database side, we've traced the sessions created by the Websphere connection pool, and none that does not indicate any spikes inside the database.
Any ideas/suggestions on what could be causing these spikes?
Our connection pool is set up with 20 connections, and monitoring is showing that only one connection is used.
We've upgraded our Oracle JDBC driver to 10.2.0.5 with no difference.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a 2014 side-scrolling platformer video game developed by Retro Studios, with assistance from Monster Games, and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. Originally slated to be released in November 2013, it was delayed until December 6, then again until February 14, 2014. The game was released in Japan on February 14, 2014, in North America and Europe on February 21, 2014 and in Australia on February 22, 2014. The fifth installment in the main Donkey Kong Country series, and the first in high-definition, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is the direct sequel to the 2010 Wii game, Donkey Kong Country Returns.
The game continues on from the side-scrolling platform gameplay of the Donkey Kong Country series and sees Donkey Kong and his friends travelling through six different islands in order to defeat the Snowmads. Controls are similar to the previous game, with the addition of being able to pluck items from the ground and pick up and throw stunned enemies, and various controllers can be used with customizable controls.[4][5] Like the previous game, players primarily control Donkey Kong who is assisted by a companion, who either provide additional abilities to Donkey Kong, or can be controlled individually by a second player. Along with Diddy Kong, who returns with his barrel jetpack for crossing large gaps, two additional characters are added; Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong. Dixie has the ability to spin her ponytail into a propeller and slowly descend through the air, with an initial boost in height at the start, allowing her and Donkey Kong to fly up out-of-reach platforms or items. Cranky, in a similar mechanic to the DuckTales video game, can use his cane to bounce on dangerous surfaces such as spiky thorns and reach higher areas and defeat certain enemies the other Kongs cannot.[6] Filling up a 'Kong-POW' meter allows Donkey Kong and his partner to perform a special move which defeats all on-screen enemies and converts them into items depending on the partner.[7]
The Super Guide from the previous game is absent and is replaced by an expanded shop, run by Funky Kong, offering various support items such as temporary invincibility. Like the previous game, each level contains various Kong letters and puzzle pieces, some of which require specific partners to reach, which unlock various bonuses and hidden levels. The Time Attack mode also returns, now featuring online leaderboards, allowing players to view video replays of the top ranked players.
The story begins at Donkey Kong's hut, where the Kongs are celebrating his birthday. Suddenly, one of the balloons flies off the Kong house and over the sea, where Snowmad ships are stationed. Far away from the island, a Pointy Tuck watches over them, locating the Kong house and relaying info to their leader, shrouded in a dark silhouette. Upon the leader nodding their approval, the Pointy Tucks bring him a horn which he blows, creating a large amount of wind, as well as an ice dragon.
Just as he is about to blow the candle out, Donkey Kong notices a mysterious snowflake appear and put out the candle on his birthday cake. He turns away with a frustrated look on his face as he hears an uproar, and he and the other Kongs exit the house. The ice dragon from earlier flies toward Donkey Kong Island, turning the sea under it to ice. The Kongs are then blown away from the island by the ice dragon's intense winds, landing on the Lost Mangroves island. Afterwards, a large ship stations itself where the Volcano from Donkey Kong Country Returns used to be, and the Snowmads seize Donkey Kong Island for their own, turning it into a frosty area with continuous snowfall.
After traversing across 5 islands with each posing its own threats, the Kongs finally arrive at Donkey Kong Island under control of the Snowmads. The Kongs make their way through the frozen fortress until they encounter the leader of the Snowmads, Lord Fredrik, who challenges the Kongs to a final battle deep in the depths of the volcano. After a long battle, Donkey Kong delivers the final punch to Lord Fredrik, which sends him flying out through the roof of the Snowmad's ship, destroying it in the process. The Kongs wander out of the remains of the ship and look out from the mountainside to see the end of Lord Fredrik's fall. Lord Fredrik crashes into the remainder of the Snowmad ships out in the seas of the island, defeating the entire Snowmad clan and freeing the island from their control. Donkey Kong then notices the horn that was used to freeze their island fell out of Lord Fredrik's hands during his fall, which he catches and blows into, producing a breeze of flowers that carries the Kongs to the bottom of the island. The Kongs watch and rejoice as the breeze of the flowers flutter around the island, melting all of the ice and snow, turning Donkey Kong Island back to normal.
The game's story focuses on the Snowmads, a group of Viking-themed arctic animals such as walruses, owls and penguins that invade Donkey Kong Island,[8] forcing Donkey Kong to go against them with the help of his friends Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Cranky Kong. This is Dixie Kong's third appearance in the main series and the first since Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, released in 1996. This is also Cranky Kong's first appearance as a playable character in the series.[9]
Development and release[edit]
The game was first announced during Nintendo's E3 2013 Nintendo Direct presentation on June 11, 2013 and was produced by Kensuke Tanabe who, having previously worked on Super Mario Bros. 2, has incorporated some elements from that game.
In August 2013, Nintendo announced a planned North American release date of December 6, 2013, just in time for the holiday season. However, in October 2013, Nintendo pushed back the release date to February 21, 2014 citing the need for more time to optimize the game.[10] At the VGX Awards on December 7, 2013, the release date was confirmed for North America to be February 21, 2014.[11][12]
The soundtrack was primarily composed by David Wise, who previously contributed music for the original SNES Donkey Kong Country games. Additional music was provided by Daisuke Matsuoka, Minako Hamano, Shinji Ushiroda, and Riyu Tamura under the supervision of Kenji Yamamoto.
The game received mostly positive reviews from critics. It has an aggregate score of 84.46% on GameRankings[13] and 83/100 on Metacritic.[14]
Destructoid gave the game a perfect 10 out of 10, saying "with the addition of control options to the already proven formula, Retro Studios' rendition of Donkey Kong is pretty much flawless."[15] GamesRadar gave the game 4 out of 5 stars, praising its presentation and challenge whilst criticising the co-operative multiplayer.[19] Game Informer gave it a 9.25 out of 10, praising the levels by saying "I'd rather have a slightly smaller collection of Retro Studios' best levels than one bloated up with lesser-quality stages in order to hit an arbitrary number. That finely cultivated assortment is exactly what you get with Tropical Freeze", in regards to the game having fewer levels than Returns.[17] GameTrailers gave the game a 9.1 out of 10, praising enhancements made to the gameplay, and the "stellar" soundtrack.[21] IGN gave the game a 9 out of 10, praising the game's challenge, level design, and boss battles.[22] Gamnesia's Colin McIsaac chose Tropical Freeze as a Game of the Year, calling it "a masterpiece of mechanics and level design" and citing the level Grassland Groove as "an empowering sensory experience, and perhaps even the greatest platforming level made to date."[25]
GameSpot, however, gave the game a 6 out of 10, saying that interesting boss battles and vehicle segments didn't make up for "clunky, repetitive level design" and poor implementation of new mechanics.[18] GamesTM, who gave it a 7 out of 10, found the game to be as difficult as its predecessors, citing the enemy and obstacle placements, and that the bosses "assault you with at least half a dozen different attacks and absorb many more of yours before they accept defeat."[20]
In Japan, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze sold over 70,000 copies during its first month of release.[26] During its first eight days of release in North America, the game sold an estimated 130,000 units.[27] As of December 2014, the game has sold over 1.12 million units globally.[28]

| At the end of October, whilst we were enjoying a bit of an
Indian summer, some forecasters were telling us that this could be one of
the coldest winters for some time and it will be interesting to see if
the predictions come true. Our forecasters at BWS are more sceptical so
let's see who's right.
Presently courses and pitches around the UK are suffering in this the first clutches of winter weather, even those venues fortunate enough to have pitch covers and under soil heating are being tested to the limit.
For Greenkeepers in particular this is a very difficult time. Pressure from club members can sway them into opening a course against their own professional judgment. If there is frost in the surface, close the course, that is the only sensible decision to make. Playing on frozen grass will cause significant damage which will be costly in the long term. While I'm on this subject, can I ask why Greenkeepers don't use frost protection covers for their greens, I was talking to a supplier of covers this week and asked him the question. It isn't a large expense and the benefits would certainly save significant damage, while keeping the greens open for longer. If you're interested in this please let me know the size and number of greens (firstname.lastname@example.com) and I'll arrange a price.
If any Groundsman or Greenkeeper needs any support in justifying their decision to close courses or sports facilities because of frost, take a look at the article on the subject on the Pitchcare site, and refer any pressuring club member to us.
The job is difficult enough without interference from self appointed know-alls. To keep abreast of the weather then see our independent forecaster news from John Kettley and Jim Dale or visit the weather section of Pitchcare.
Good luck
Dave Saltman

Just this time of Year? - The autumn and early winter periods are a curious time in the weather calendar, and especially so now that we have global warming added to the mixture. When I was a kid, November seemed to be forever cold with frosts and fog commonplace now it appears to be an extension of October, with rain, wind and sunny/mild days vying for supremacy. Does my memory serve me right or have things really changed? Jim Dale, Senior Risk Meteorologist with British Weather Services gives the reasons. Read article.
Mixing it on the Golf Course - A discussion on the significance of grass seed mixture formulation for golf greens with Barenbrugs Jayne Leyland. Many Greenkeepers still choose a mixture of fescues and bents for overseeding golf greens. This may be because the original greens were sown out with that particular specification, or its perhaps difficult to apply bent grasses as a single species because the Greenkeepers current equipment cannot be calibrated to apply very small bentgrass seed at low rates the fescue seeds in the mixture merely acting as a carrier. Are they doing the right thing? Read article.
Slovenian Greenkeepers Association Conference - Attended by Pitchcare, the conference, now in it's seventh year, brought together a varied and interesting package of guest speakers from all corners of the sports turf industry. There was also a visit to Ptuj golf course, one of only 8 courses in Slovenia. Read article.

David Golding, GTC education director, said: We are delighted to be supporting the education element of Harrogate Week.

The drift distorts the atomic force microscopy (AFM) images as the time taken to acquire a complete AFM image is relatively long (a few minutes). As the AFM image is used as a reference for most manipulation mechanisms, the image distorted by drift will cause problems for AFM-based manipulation because the displayed positions of the objects under nanomanipulation do not match their actual locations. The drift during manipulation, similarly, will further exacerbate the mismatch between the displayed positions and the actual locations. Such mismatch is a major hurdle to achieve automation in AFM-based nanomanipulation. Without proper compensation, manipulation based on a wrong displayed location of the object often fails. In this paper, we present an algorithm to identify and eliminate the drift-induced distortion in the AFM image by applying a strategic local scan method. Briefly, after an AFM image is captured, the entire image is divided into several parts along vertical direction. A quick local scan is performed in each part of the image to measure the drift value in that very part. In this manner, the drift value is calculated in a small local area instead of the global image. Thus, the drift can be more precisely estimated and the actual position of the objects can be more accurately identified. In this paper, we also present the strategy to constantly compensate the drift during manipulation. By applying local scan on a single fixed feature in the AFM image frequently, the most current positions of all objects can be displayed in the augmented reality for real-time visual feedback.

Gregory Isaacs (July 15, 1951 – October 25, 2010) was a Jamaican reggae musician. In 1968, he made his recording debut with a duet with Winston Sinclair, "Another Heartache," recorded for producer Byron Lee. The single sold poorly and Isaacs went on to team up with two other vocalists (Penroe and Bramwell) in the short-lived trio The Concords, recording for Rupie Edwards and Prince Buster. The trio split up in 1970 and Isaacs launched his solo career, initially self-producing recordings and also recording further for Edwards. In 1973 he teamed up with another young singer, Errol Dunkley to start the African Museum record label and shop, and soon had a massive hit with "My Only Lover... Continue Bio >>

Quality experience
Normally, I don't post reviews.
This was because of a bad experience after I had booked a B+B that had excellent reviews so since then I have treated reviews with a degree of caution. In the case of Allt Gynack, however I do feel that I need to post my experience. In essence this is a quality establishment. Efficiently run by a most amenable couple, the single room I had was well furnished and spotlessly clean.
The owners were very helpful in any way that they could.
The Scottish breakfast was plentiful and set me up for the day. What particularly set this apart from others is the quality of the food that is served and its preparation. All in all, Allt Gynack is a top quality B+B and fully justifies its positive reviews. If heading into Scotland in the future, I would happily stay again. Many thanks.

No Regrets.
Warmly greeted and shown to a room which was spotlessly clean, well decorated with a comfortable bed and tea and coffee making facilities with fresh milk.
All this in a guest house conveniently located for both train station and dining out. (The Silverfjord is highly recommended.)
During our short stay an American guest on a UK walking holiday left his walking pole and iphone after departing in a taxi to his next starting point. On discovering this Martin, our host drove 10 miles after the taxi - there and back - in an effort to reunite the forgotten items with their owner. On departure Jen, our hostess offered to keep our case to allow us the freedom of a day's walking in the beautiful surrounding area. This was particularly appreciated as the left luggage was closed at the train station. This, I think, speaks volumes about their attitude to hospitality. No, no regrets whatsoever.

Man, I haven't posted anything to dA for ages, so how about an update for anyone who cares?
I had my driving theory test today, and passed having only begun learning the stuff for it yesterday night. Seriously, so much of it is just common sense, I did about 7 hours revision total and I passed first time. So being a lazy, procrastinatory asshole works occasionally!
In other news, as you can see at the bottom of my journal, I'm currently playing a Nuzlocke run of Pokemon Omega Ruby... It wasn't going too well. Flannery's Torkoal wiped out my whole team a few weeks ago, forcing me to use my only remaining Pokemon to catch a new team and build them all up to scratch. It seems every time I get a favourite Pokemon, I get cocky and accidentally kill them . Still, I'm actually doing OK at the moment, with my highly over-levelled Grumpig, Donut. Hopefully some dickflap Ghost type doesn't come along and OHKO her...
And finally, anyone that happens to read this journal, gimme some recommendations for stuff! Music, manga, films, anything. Especially music.

Ok, now I chose this picture out of the possible 150 that I took (many of this particular pose, probably about 30 in 1 minute) because THIS is why we went. I mean, seriously, how great it this. I think that we (possibly just me, I hate to over-generalize for my WHOLE famile) forget how great it is to be near family, and for kids to have cousins.
Here Conner and Spencer are with the Erickson clan, and only 3/5ths of them. These are Kristen's, Claudines and Carla's kids (and respective husbands). We had a great time, and I can't wait to blog the rest, but it's 10:49 and since we got home at 2pm and I went to work at 5:30 (they were DYING… I mean, seriously — is there going to be a day they are NOT DYING?) I think I'd best get to bed. Love to y'all.

Material handling equipment new orders grew 7.2% in 2012 and are expected to grow between 5.0% to 6.0% in 2013 and 10.0% or more in 2014, according to the latest Material Handling Equipment Manufacturing Forecast (MHEM) released by MHI.
"As the current US economic expansion shifts from capital expenditure driven to consumer-led, we anticipate modest, positive MHEM growth for 2013. Housing, automotive rebounds and expansion in industrial, warehouse and commercial buildings (over 69% from 2014 to 2018) will contribute substantially to improved MHEM growth for 2014 and beyond," said Hal Vandiver, MHI executive consultant.
In addition, material handling equipment shipments grew 9.8% in 2012 and are projected to grow 3.5% in 2013 and 9.1% in 2014. Domestic demand (shipments plus imports less exports) grew 10.9% in 2012 and is estimated to grow 3.4% in 2013 and just over 9.5% in 2014.
MHEM trade growth slowed by more than 50.0% in 2012 reflecting reduced U.S. demand and serious problems in foreign markets. Import growth in 2012 was 17.9%, down from 37.7% in 2011. Export growth was 11.2% in 2012, down from 26.2% in 2011. MHEM imports and exports are expected to slow dramatically in 2013 and rebound modestly beginning mid-2014.
The MHEM forecast of material handling equipment manufacturing is released each quarter by MHI and looks 12 to 18 months forward to anticipate changes in the material handling and logistics marketplace.

Annual Salary Survey
After almost a decade of uncertainty, the confidence of plant floor managers is soaring. Even with a number of challenges and while implementing new technologies, there is a renewed sense of optimism among plant managers about their business and their future.
The respondents to the 2014 Plant Engineering Salary Survey come from throughout the U.S. and serve a variety of industries, but they are uniform in their optimism about manufacturing. This year's survey found 79% consider manufacturing a secure career. That's up from 75% in 2013 and significantly higher than the 63% figure when Plant Engineering first started asking that question a decade ago.
