Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira wasn't exactly happy with the umpires in last night's loss to the Orioles. First base umpire Jerry Meals blew a call by calling Teixeria out even though he was clearly safe. That out ended the game and left the tying run at third base. Because of the loss, the Orioles are once again tied with the Yanks in the AL East.
"Sometimes you wonder if the umpires are just trying to get out of there. They don't want you to make a comeback. They want to go home because those were terrible calls. It is what it is. We are out there fighting. I'm out there playing on one leg. I wish it had gone my way.
"I'm probably going to get fined. But I don't care, really. I'm out there fighting. We are out there fighting. When you are battling like we are battling and they can't get a call right, that pisses you off. It really does."
Here's video of the replay. As you can see, Teixeira was clearly safe:

Sarafina Group
She has been running a grocery store for five years now. She works from 7 a.m. to midnight and is able to make a good monthly profit.
This will be her second loan from Tujijenge Tanzania. She used the previous loan to buy chairs and tables and to restock her inventory. She repaid her loan successfully. She wants a loan to add beers to her line of products. Her dream is one day to be able to buy her own car.
Asha will share this loan with her loan group "Sarafina." It has 14 members who will hold one other accountable for paying back the loan.
Additional Information
About Tujijenge TanzaniaThis loan is administered by Tujijenge Tanzania, which was founded in 2006. It has operations in Dar es Salaam, the coastal region, and the Lake Victoria region. The organization aims to reach out to micro entrepreneurs and provide them with financial and social intermediation services because capital is one of the major barriers to development and success for micro-enterprise initiatives in Tanzania.
For more information on Tujijenge Tanzania, please visit its partner page, or join its lending team.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Gamers have enough trouble trying to come up with a game plan to beat pesky end bosses and single-handedly defeat armies of mutant soldiers. Saving often gives gamers an endless advantage and cheat codes can help in a pinch, but neither of these tactics will do any good against an increasing amount of real-life threats the online gaming scene.
More than just an annoyance, time spend in virtual worlds like Second Life can translate into real currency and it's attracted the attention of organized criminal gangs. According to security software vendor ESET (best known for its NOD32 Antivirus products), "high volumes of malware intended to steal passwords for online gaming and virtual worlds" have been detected since 2007, resulting in a "dramatic upsurge."
The alarming news comes courtesy of ESET's mid-yearly Global Threat Report, which focuses on broad trends in malware over the past six months. In addition to an upsurge in attacks against gamers, ESET notes that malicious software that tries to use the Windows Autorun facility to self-install from removable media continues to flourish.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the company reports email bound malware is in "dramatic decline," at least when it comes to dirty attachments. Malicious URLs passed through email messages have taken the place of attachments.

My sentiments on immigration are inscribed at the foot of the Statue of Liberty: ". . . Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
These words of poet Emma Lazarus served as the welcome mat for tens of millions seeking liberty and opportunity in America -- legally. Being a relatively land-rich and labor-scarce nation, immigration has always been good for our country. Plus, for most of our history, there was a guarantee that immigrants would come here to work. The alternative was starvation.
With today's welfare state, there's no such guarantee. People can come here, not work and not starve because the welfare state guarantees that they can live off the rest of us.
At the heart of today's immigration problem is its illegality. According to several estimates, there are 11 million people who are in our country illegally, mostly from Mexico. Many people, including my libertarian friends and associates, advance an argument that differs little from saying that people anywhere in the world have a right to live in the United States irrespective of our laws or preferences.
According to that vision, American people do not have a right to set either the number of people who enter our country or the conditions upon which they enter. Some of the arguments and terms used in the immigration debate defy reason. First, there's the refusal to call these people "illegal aliens." The politically preferred term is "undocumented workers," which is nothing less than verbal sleight-of-hand. After all, I, too, am an undocumented worker.
My colleague, Thomas Sowell, exposes some of this verbal sleight-of-hand in his recent column "Guests or Gate-Crashers?" He questions calling for "guest worker" status for people who, because they weren't invited, are not guests at all but gate-crashers. Sowell argues that the more substantive arguments for flaunting our immigration laws are just as phony.
How about the argument that "We can't catch all the illegals"? That's true, but should we apply that principle to other illegal acts? For example, we can't catch every rapist or burglar, but does it follow that we shouldn't try?

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA Supports Campaign To Protect Highway Workers
ATLANTA, Ga. -- "Truck hits DOT workers, kills one." Headlines like this one, which appeared recently in a local newspaper, grow more and more familiar to Atlanta readers and others in large, metropolitan areas around the country.
Monday, April 8, marked the beginning of the third annual National Highway Work Zone Safety Week which honors those who have lost their lives in highway work zones and calls for increased awareness of safe driving in roadway work areas.
Deaths and injuries among highway workers and others in construction work zones on U.S. highways represent a growing problem, according to the Federal Highway Administration. In 2000, there were an estimated 1,093 fatalities in work zones around the country.
To prevent crashes, motorists are urged to remain alert and pay careful attention, minimize distractions, avoid changing lanes, keep up with the traffic flow, turn on headlights, avoid tailgating and speeding, expect the unexpected, and be patient.
The Work Zone Safety Awareness Week Program began in December 1999 when a joint cooperative effort was formed to highlight the dangers that both workers and motorists face within highway work zones. That effort includes OSHA, the Federal Highway Administration, the American Traffic Safety Services Association, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the Association of General Contractors, the American Road and Transportation Builders, and more than twenty other groups.
A fact sheet and additional materials on the national work zone safety campaign can be accessed from the Federal Highway Administration's Safety Page. The campaign is also listed on OSHA's website on the Events Page.

Ephesians 3:14-21New King James Version (NKJV)
Appreciation of the Mystery
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,[a] 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Sennen Cove
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2009)
Sennen Cove (Cornish: Porthsenen)[1] (grid reference SW352261) is a small coastal village in the parish of Sennen in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. According to the Penwith District Council, the population of this settlement was estimated at 180 persons in 2000.[2]
Sennen Cove is not a cove in the geological sense, and would be more properly described as a Bay. Sennen Cove, as distinct from Sennen Churchtown, is found at the end of a spur road which joins the A30 trunk road approximately one mile (1.61 km) from Land's End. The road descends gently for about 300 yards and then steeply for another 300 yards to the village which lies just above the beach at an altitude of 5 metres (16 ft) to 10 metres (33 ft). The beach extends further north along the coast towards the peninsula of Cape Cornwall a few miles further to the north. There are a few dozen houses built primarily of granite and some of concrete, arranged mainly in terraces, typical of many of the villages in Cornwall. Several submarine telecommunications cables are landed at Sennen Cove and are connected via landlines to the cable terminating equipment at Skewjack together with others from Porthcurno.
Sea and seashore[edit]
Sennen Cove Lifeboat Station is a Royal National Lifeboat Institution base founded in 1853. It is run by volunteers and operates a Tamar-class all-weather lifeboat and an IB1 inshore lifeboat. They are manned by a crew of 24 people who ensure that the boats are operational and on call twenty-four hours a day, throughout the year.[3] Next to the lifeboat station is the restored Roundhouse, now used as an art gallery and souvenir shop, but originally used to house a winch for hauling boats up from the beach.
Sennen Cove has become renowned for its surfing conditions and is highly regarded by local and non-local surfers alike. Sennen tends to be slightly more protected from winds and swell than Gwenvor at the other end of the bay. Sennen's laid back and friendly atmosphere has been recognised which adds to the feel of Sennen Cove, making it a popular tourist destination for holiday makers and surfers alike. Sennen is good at most tides, bar extreme high tide, but works best with a westerly swell and a light easterly wind. Surf gear can be hired at the beach, situated next to a large car park and beach café.
Bilbo the canine lifeguard[edit]
The beach was also home to Bilbo, the first ever UK canine lifeguard. The Newfoundland first started working on the beach from 2005, although was suspended from services on the beach when the lifeguards were taken over by the RNLI in early 2008 (see below), due to the rules that confine Bilbo from not being allowed to walk on the sand (the beach is strictly dog free in the summer)*, and the new RNLI regulation that restricts the use of more than one person (or dog in this instance) on the beach's quad bike. For the three years he was in service (2005–2007), he raised huge awareness to many tourists about the dangers of swimming outside the designated zones controlled by the lifeguards, led by the 'Bilbo Says' campaign.[4] Since the restriction of just 4 hours a week in 2008, there has been a public cry for Bilbo's reinstatement. A number of petitions have been posted online, and a paper petition has been created inside the Old Success Inn, Sennen Cove.
In 2014 Bilbo The Lifeguard Dog became the mascot for the THINK BILBO STAY SAFE NEAR WATER CAMPAIGN, which aims to increase awareness of the incidence of drownings in the UK, and how such tragedies might be avoided in the future. Each year approximately 400 people lose their lives to drowning. At 11 years old, Bilbo the 12 stone chocolate coloured Newfoundland dog, from Sennen, was still helping to spread water safety messages to children in Cornish primary schools.
Bilbo The Lifeguard Dog has a huge following on Facebook, over 5,000 friends.
Bilbo died in May 2015, and his death was noted in many national newspapers and news sources.[5][6][7]

In 2005, Shanti The Wandering Dog of Sennen & The Land's End was published, and tells the true story of a collie dog who goes off on his lone wanderings around Sennen Cove, whilst his owner, an old man who spends his day looking out to sea from his hill-top house window, snoozes. The old man never knows that Shanti goes off alone around the cove. 36 pages of stunning illustrations beautifully depict Sennen's Atlantic coast line. Published by Cornish Cove Publishing, and printed and bound in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
The Cove is heavily dependent on tourism and is particularly popular with sea surfing enthuiasts. The significant part of the tourist season extends from approximately the spring until the autumn, peaking in the school holidays in August. "The Old Boathouse", a surf shop called "Chapel Idne", and a public house are located here as well as various small cafes, ice cream stands, souvenir shops, and small private art galleries, including The Round House, most of which are only open during the tourist season. The South West Coast Path passes through Sennen Cove, only being about half an hour's walk from Land's End.
A small fishing fleet of seven is protected by a breakwater built in 1908.[8] Mullet used to be an important catch in the bay with the fishery beginning at the end of January and continued towards the end of April.[9] Sennen Cove was the most important seine fishery in Cornwall and, in Edwardian times, large schools were still entering the bay with as many as 12,000 caught at one time.[10] Seining continued into the 20th Century with 1200 stone caught on 3 March 1977.[11]
First South West run bus services to Sennen Cove. Service 1 calls in at Sennen Cove on the journey between Penzance and Lands End roughly every hour during the daytime. In summertime, open top service 300 calls into the cove on the section of the trip between St Ives and Lands End. Until their demise in 2006, Sennen Cove was a popular destination with enthusiasts of the Bristol VR bus due to the steep incline leaving the cove.

Rounding out his Latin American tour, Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass in Cuba today. There were lots of questions about what the pope would have to say about the plight of the Cuban people and the repressive Communist government. In the end, not much.
The pope said "Cuba and the world need change," but that need was pretty generic, as was the path to change: "love, sowing reconciliation and brotherhood." Earlier in his trip, Benedict had been a little more critical of the Cuban government.
the pope focused on the Bible story of three youths persecuted by the Babylonians who preferred to face death rather than denying their conscience and faith.
"They find the strength… of God with the conviction that the Lord of the cosmos and history would not abandon them to death and nothingness," the pope said.
The pontiff spoke of freedom, but in the context of Christianity.
"The savior is the only one who can show the truth and give genuine freedom," he said.
He praised the emergence of religious freedom in Cuba, but did not touch on political freedoms.
"It is with joy that in Cuba there have been steps so that the church can carry out its mission," but the country must continue to strengthen this path, he said.

Chris Christie Had Weight Loss Surgery
With all of the hoopla around Gov. Chris Christie's weight, we've been seeing a slightly slimmer version of him lately. Christie admitted that three months ago he had a "Lap-Band" surgery and because of it has lost 40 pounds. "Lap-Band" is a procedure "in which a silicone band is placed around the stomach to discourage overeating," writes The New York Times.

Junie B. Jones and Her Big Fat Mouth
by Barbara Park
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In my opinion, I think the Junie B. Jones series is a good selection for emerging readers. The language is simple yet humorous. Barbara Park did an excellent job developing Junie B. Jones's character because she has a strong personality. Her character does not change at all through the series. Students will find her comical, entertaining, and fun. Young readers will want to keep reading Junie B. Jones novels because of the interesting story line and plot. I love how the story is told in first person. The reader will always know how Junie B. is feeling because she is always the one to narrate. The dialogue within the book enhances the reading by depicting other characters responses and reactions to Junie B's behavior. The purpose of this book is to allow students to read a story that is funny and relatable.
SUMMARY: Junie B. Jones is a kindergartener who just can't seem to catch a break. Junie B. Jones can really loud and talks before thinking and it gets her in trouble with her teacher. Then she gets in trouble with the janitor for putting a piece of candy on the ground in her mouth. Then, people from the community come into her classroom to talk about their jobs, such as a cop and dentist, but she didn't know what she wanted to be. She thought of many different jobs and then decided to be a janitor. Everyone makes fun of her but then the janitor came in for show and tell and the kids in the class got to play with his tools.
REVIEW: I think that this would be a good book for students to read on their own time or as a book of choice for a literature circle. I do not think that this would be a good book to use or analyze in the classroom because it does not have any information given to the reader. It is more of an easy read than a book that would fit into the curriculum. I do feel that 4th graders could think that Junie B is funny and could relate to her quirkiness and problems.
In this Junie B. Jones book Junie and her class learn about careers and have a job day at their school. Junie learns about many different jobs and how they are done. She also has to work on keeping quiet and only talking when she is being called on in class. Junie is also adjusting to having a new baby at home and not being the center of her parent's attention.
Junie B. Jones books are loved by children across the country. I like this books and others in the series because they are funny and have story lines that children can relate to. They also have simple plots and the sentence structure and word choice are easy to understand. The thing I do not like about these books is that in trying to be funny the author uses many words and phrases that are grammatically incorrect. While many children enjoy this aspect of her books I feel like it may be confusing to them and similar things could show up in their writing.
Junie B. is unable to control what comes out of her mouth and gets in trouble again. Different professions are visiting the classroom and Junie finally decides to become a janitor since she had a run in with one. She end up becoming friends with the janitor.
This one was fun to read to the kids.

The Great Console War 3
December 25, 2006, 08:18:49 PM »
That's right. It says 3 . . . this is the 3rd generation of waring consoles that claim to be truly inovative. Ever since the dawn of the 3d graphics . . . there has been an invisible war over supremacy.
Now then, this war has waged since the very idea came out of some ingenius mind. However . . . the fatalities due to it's fighting has ranked very very high. I have personally seen kids beaten by others over their adoration or respect for one system over another. Or worse yet, one game over another . . .
Now, let us get down to the nitty gritty.
The war has come to it's most fantastically redundant state ever . . . comapnies are so preocupied with using the newest and "best" software and idea that they have passed up the idea of what the consoles were supossed to do . . . aren't we supossed to buy these things for "entertainment"? isn't the point of buying "games" to have fun? instead we have a War going on . . . we're fighting with other gamers over who's system is better . . . and which company is the better man . . .
First off . . . the Wii is not a retarded spin off of VR, it's the smoothest running and most natural means of controlling a character in a game I've ever encountered personally. What's more, the graphical capability of it being SO much weaker than the other 2 has nothing to do with how good a system it is. If anyone has shown us it doesn't take gurth to kick a$$ it's Nintendo. Who waited the longest to go 3d? who waited the longest to go to CDs? and once they FINALLY did, who STILL didn't use the most powerful variety? and yet who still seems to have some of the largest full round followings? Nintendo . . . when a person hears the word video game, things like Mario, and Pokemon (the oldgames . . . not the card game >.>) just naturally spring to mind. These are the things we grew up with . . . they are our past, our present, and shall forever be our future.
Secondly, and most controversially, Microsoft is not an evil Umbrella corp. company looking to take over all of gaming to make us pay HUGE prices and then have to buy expansions . . . they are an evil computer corp. The 360 and the Xbox should not be blamed for this. The systems are worth your money, sure they dont have the best selection of RPGs, but frankly its not about RPGs alone, which SquareEnix would have you believe (at least seems to) however, Microsoft has been quite controversial socially about their systems and their selling power, they are not out to ruin gaming.
Lastly, Sony has made many mistakes in its life. And frankly is a good bit arrogant and self absorbed over their next gen systems. The PSX is about where it ends with Sony. That was indeed their hay-day, but not for the reason you might think. Yes, Sony had the 3d, but so did Sega . . . long before Sony had any idea what they were doing with games. However, Sony kicked everyone elses asses, including the N 64, with the RPGs they put out on the PSX, the graphics aside, the PSX had a lot going for it, 1 name. Final Fantasy, this single name made Sony what it is today. Think back . . . what game is SO hyped, and SO followed and SO cult classiced by gamers, that theres a wealth of games, accessories, spin offs, animes, and even movies about it? Final Fantasy VII. This game single handedly launched Sonys carreer. Sony would have most likely faded into mediocrity behind Nintendo if not for getting Final Fantasy VII Sony would have fallen FAR behind. Just think . . . if Nintendo had won, not Sony.
Now then . . . the point Ive been trying to make in all this is . . . theres no reason for us to all be fighting over this, we should be working together to make the companies realize they need our input . . . not bickering between each other over whos got the better system or controller. Lets focus on whos games we can enjoy the most . . . I mean, in the end . . . isnt it really supossed to all be about the games not the company?
I mean personally, Ive got a PS2, Xbox, 360, Game Cube, Gensis, Game gear, and DS. Yes . . . thats a lot more money than limiting to 1. A LOT more *cries at his wallets grave* but frankly I dont discriminate between systems, I hate Microsoft as a company plain and simple . . . but I love my Xbox, and my 360, cuz they both have good games, games I can ENJOY, games that make me sit back after I finish and go. wow . . . now THAT was worth it and if you ask me, thats the whole point . . . were not out to embrace the companies, were out to enjoy the games right?
You are still alive

When you do that, THEN I'll properly read it and reply. :P
Edit: Alright, you did. Well then...
First of all, just 3 generations? More like since the dawn of console competition - it's happened with the SNES/Genesis, the NES/SMS (though most people didn't know the latter even existed until it was long dead, or at least I didn't)... And I can't really comment on earlier, as I don't know if systems like Intellivision or the Atari 2600 directly conflicted or not. And if it's not console vs console, then it's whether consoles or PCs are superior... Though I typically only see people trumpting PCs over consoles, while console owners seem apathetic really.
Anyways, you seemed to have summed up the general popular opinion of the three console manufacturers. Personally, it'll be the games I want that dictate the level of support, but ideally I like to own every significant console. I think Sony's massively stupid in PR and some of their decisions (regional censorship, anal retentive about OKing some games), but isn't a genuinely horrible company like some people believe.
Nintendo's a company I usually like, but when they screw up it's really stupid and/or annoying; there's some things I wish the Wii had, and some I just find mind boggling, namely the inability to use GC controllers to browse the interface yet Classic Controllers work fine, requiring wasting a bit of Wii Remote battery life every time you want to play a GC title.
Microsoft... As far as handling their stuff, I generally consider them the best. They're not too anal about approval, and if there's some stupid problem with how their system software works it's either fixable, or is a REALLY minor issue. However, there's little japanese support, and as such my interest is usually just limited to games like Psychonauts and whatever big shooter they have coming out. Not to mention that they haven't innovated much in input, though they've done a great deal of good for online console gaming, and refined things like controls well enough.

I'm personally more invested in handheld gaming now. As a person who buys almost nothing but RPG's, the DS and GBA is where it's at for me. I'm kind of bummed that I've had my 360 for a year almost, and I have three games for it. Pffft... And only 2 of those are RPG's (Oblivion and Enchanted Arms). I need to get a Wii for Zelda,a nd I don't know what I'm going to do about a PS3. The price tag is ridiculous, and there isn't crap for games for it right now, but I'm sure in a year there'll be so many good RPG's coming out for it, I'll gladly plop down the 600 plus bucks for one. But yeah, since the 360 RPG outlook is nill except for the few Mistwalker games that have yet to be released, I've been playing the slew of GBA and DS RPG's, as well as the great new PS2 games coming out like Okami, FF XII, Bully and I'm eagerly looking forward to Rogue Galaxy. People are crazy saying the PS2 is dead. Someof the best PS2 games ever released have come out in the last 6 months, and some GREAT ones have yet to come out.

well, what bothers me so much is people that refuse to even TOUCH one cuz it's sony. Or worse yet . . . "oh that's a Microsoft Xbox huh? well screw that . . . I refuse to play anything but nintendo consoles!" and the like >.> just pushign it aside cuz it's not their fave comapny. Buying nothing but DS and GBA games cuz of the RPGs being ones you love . . . that's different, I got like 3 games for my 360 right now too, Oblivion, Enchanted arms, Carbon, and Test Drive Unlimited. But the thing is . . . I enjoy them, oh and Gears of War *drools* but still . . . I'm very much a fan of the handhelds too my friend, the pokemon games will always have a huge place in my heart, no matter what people say >.>

Anyways, you seemed to have summed up the general popular opinion of the three console manufacturers. Personally, it'll be the games I want that dictate the level of support, but ideally I like to own every significant console.[/qoute]
Exactly my friend . . . I summed up the popular theories, and then put what I thought about them. Though . . . personally I'm a blatant and incurable fanboy of Sega >.>;; Sega SHALL rise again! *puts on a military uniform with a gold ring on it, and holds up a flag with Sonic's face on it* and as far as the games other than RPGs go, I'm a fan of shooters, racers, and most of all . . . Survival Horror. which is pretty much a catch 22, cuz RE is more about the action than the fright. Where as Silent Hill, you gotta have the lights on >.>;;

None of the consoles look interesting to me right now. If anything I'll buy a PS3 when either a new Suikoden or a FFVII remake comes out on it. FFXIII looks sexy too, though.

the thing is, none of them look that good at first . . . Kameo anyone? and as for the Xbox, it didn't have much at launch but Halo . . . and not much after either, except for the few . . . the proud . . . the . . . unknown *cries* and the PS2 took time to get anything truly worth while too. And as for the Gamecube . . . well . . . it's always been very underground as far as how good, and seems to take the longest to come out from behind, but it's so steady a company and system (including Wii) that they don't need to worry about launching into awesomeness

Kameo is the third 360 game I have. I did, and still think it is a great looking game.
As for these fanboys... I've heard of them, but have honestly never come across them in my 25 year history as a gamer. Everyone I know that games doesn't limit themselves to one system or to one concole maker. We all usually get two of the three systems each generation. I honestly don't personally know anyone that just buys Sony, Micrisiot or Nintendo.

I know multiple people who not only limit them sevles to one of 3, but also chastise (sp?) the others, and propagandize the one they do play, what's more . . . when I say I'm a blatant Sega fan boy, I don't say I think Sega's better and no one compares >.> I'm just in freaky gamerlove with Sega . . . I want to have Sega's freaky otaku gamer children >.>;; but fanboys are a big problem down here where I live >.< if I have to walk into a gamestore even just one more time and hear someone bashing sony, microsoft or nintendo because "they don't play subordinate systems" I'll snap >.>

First off . . . the Wii is not a retarded spin off of VR, it's the smoothest running and most natural means of controlling a character in a game I've ever encountered personally.
You mean because its almost like doing the action in real-life? Simulating a real-life action to perform an action in a virtual environment sounds a lot like virtual reality to me.
What's more, the graphical capability of it being SO much weaker than the other 2 has nothing to do with how good a system it is.
So does that mean they shouldn't try to make a better system in terms of technology as well as innovation?
Secondly, and most controversially, Microsoft is not an evil Umbrella corp. company looking to take over all of gaming to make us pay HUGE prices and then have to buy expansions . .
I think people just don't like change. And why should they? I've been happy with my PS1 and PS2. The only reason I would want a Nintendo console (excluding handhelds) is to play Zelda. The Xbox doesn't have the extensive library that the PS does, and until that happens and the PS library becomes crap I'll just stick with what works.
Lastly, Sony has made many mistakes in its life. And frankly is a good bit arrogant and self absorbed over their next gen systems.
So were the guys promoting the original Xbox. Anyways you're the one that said Nintendo's lack of technological innovation shouldn't factor into a person's choice of console so why should idiotic marketing? (btw, have you seen that red steel commercial?)
Final Fantasy, this single name made Sony what it is today. Think back . . . what game is SO hyped, and SO followed and SO cult classiced by gamers, that theres a wealth of games, accessories, spin offs, animes, and even movies about it? Final Fantasy VII.
What about the games that made Nintendo? Mario and Zelda? Maybe even Metroid? If those games weren't exclusive to Nintendo I don't think they would exist today. Besides, lots of games are hyped. Hell, video games in general are hyped nowadays.
Also, as long as this is about the three consoles I want to send a message to Microsoft and Nintendo: your fucking d-pads suck ass.

I'm not gonna get into this stupid argument save to say one thing:
The only good D-Pad belonged to the Saturn. Everything else gives me blisters when shoryukening.
Oh and obligatory: Sony sucks.

Hypocrisy! Though seriously, the SNES and Classic D-Pads were/are both good from what I used of them. Then again, I haven't exactly tested out the classic pad for fighting games, and i don't feel like shelling out 8 bucks for Street Fighter II on the VC.
I'd comment on more, but the return of the dark red text blew up my eyeballs, and I have yet to try reading it again.

What, there's no love for the Dreamcast d-pads? Sure, they were prone to wear with much use, but those things were gold for fighters.
As for the whole console war thing, here are my 2 cents. The 360 has the best online setup even if they force you to pay for it. And it's got some good games - GoW, DOA4, Project Gotham, etc. But it's FUCKING LOUD and sounds like my old Sony laptop (which made me feel like I was living next to an airport).
The Wii looks like it'd be interesting to play...if it had any decent games out aside from a Gamecube port. And it should've been 50 bucks cheaper. Also, WTF is Nintendo doing with that friend code bullshit? I don't want to have to remember 20 digit numbers for every "buddy" I have.
The PS3 would be nice to have if you got a nice HDTV as an all-in-one media player. But it has no games (aside from Resistance, and I played through it months before it was released) and is fucking $700 (with hdmi cables).
Just got me a 360 recently and so far it's been very nice (aside from the aforementioned loud ass optical drive). I'll definitely be waiting before some games come out before buying either of the other 2 consoles, though.

As far as Wii numbers go, you only put those in once. Unelss each game really does have it's own code (Pokemon might be a fluke due to being the first online game there is), it's not that big of a deal once you put it in. I just wish you could pick the name dispalyed to others, like on ICQ.

All-American Decorating Ideas
Give your sofa a seasonal lift.
Patriotic pillows march along a sofa slipcovered in flexible, durable white cotton canvas. The pillows are sewn from vintage mattress ticking fabric (any simple blue-and-white stripe fabric will do). They're trimmed in fun fringe and emblazoned with hand-tacked flags. You can use inexpensive store-bought flags from the hardware or grocery store for the project. If you're considering slipcovers, make sure the fabric is upholstery weight for sturdiness, and washable for low-maintenance. This white cotton duck fabric offers those traits, plus it provides a clean canvas for changing pillows with the season. For a final spirited touch, tuck a few flags into a casual bouquet of fresh flowers.
More pillow ideas.
Trapunto is the sewing method used to create a raised, or quilted, design. Stitch a cutout onto a pillow cover, then insert tufts of stuffing to raise the image.

The crisis that has now engulfed the IAAF shares many of the characteristics of the crisis at Fifa. Again we see allegations that another group of old men of considerable power and standing within their sport, have exploited the lack of independent governance and scrutiny within their organisation, to make money out of cheating.
This week an Usain Bolt film has been announced, made by the men behind Class Of '92, Ben and Gabe Turner at Fulwell 73. The film will follow Usain as he heads towards the Rio Olympics next year and his retirement season in 2017. The story line above could well be what we see played out in this movie.

Sharpie Spin Art

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
With a battery operated Spin Art machine and some colored Sharpie markers, you can create beautiful artwork on paper or fabric. This Sharpie Spin Art from Lynda Heines would look lovely on a tee shirt or canvas, and would also make a beautiful paper decoration for a scrapbook or greeting card. If you don't have a Spin Art machine, you should be able to find one in the toy section of your local toy store or online.
- Spinart machine. These can be purchased in the toy section or online. Make sure you buy one that is battery operated.
- Fabric cut in 6 x 6 inch squares or paper 5.5 x 5.5 inches
- Sharpie Large Chisel Tip Markers
- Spray bottle with alcohol
- Tacky repositionable glue – I used Liquid Sticky Note
Place tacky glue in the center of the bottom of machine to hold fabric (paper) in place.
Place fabric (paper) centered in machine and smooth it down over tacky glue.
Turn on machine.
Touch spinning fabric (paper) with Sharpie. Continue coloring until you are happy with your design.
Turn off machine and check. If you want to add more color, turn it back on and add more.
Turn off machine.
Spritz fabric (paper) with the alcohol. The more you spray, the more the colors will bleed together.
- When dry, heat set with an iron and then it's ready for your next project. (You don't need to iron the paper!)

2 chibis per day, or a artwork per day.
Depending if it requires coloring.
I need advice on what to do about my wrist when it cannot handle to much drawing.
Do I rest for 30 min or a hour? How do you find energy to draw?
Questions questions.
Aha - this is how much I can draw. by Queen-SouliaWatch
©2013-2016 Queen-Soulia
(i think people take pep pills idk how people draw so much so fast) xD but i think maybe i suck cause slow xP
I mean those that do full -coloring 5 images per day. HOW THE FUCK??
I will help send money so you can get a wrist wrap to help with wrist and anything else like cooling gel or heat patches lovely
I found a nearby pharmacy that is selling that wrist supporter. o_o but 78 dollars for me is a lot. I looked up the warm gel and it is 45 dollars and cool gel is cheaper 18 dollars.
