Exped Downmat 9 Air Mattress with Built-In Pump
No winter camping is complete without the Exped Downmat 9 Air Mattress with Built-In Pump. It dramatically reduces the heat loss with it is with down insulation inside the mat. The thick cushion of air also provides comfort and smoothes out uneven ground. In addition, as down compresses extremely well, Downmats packs smaller than other insulated mats. Both low profile valves, one for inflation and the other for deflation, ensure ease of use. As the valves are flat, they do not protrude and are therefore protected and durable. The light foam blocks at the mat s ends prevent down from escaping or migrating between chambers. It is made of laminated polyester fabric that makes it durable, airtight, and humidity resistant. The brushed polyester fabric ensures excellent slip resistance and comfort next to the skin. Two loops at the head end can be used to secure the packsack to the mat when used as a pillow. For a warm and cozy sleep on the snow, choose the Exped Downmat 9 Air Mattress with Built-In Pump.

A VCR, short for videocassette recorder, is a Muggle device that records programming aired on a television in a cassette format and can also play back such tapes, as well as ones released commercially. Dudley Dursley received one of these for his birthday on 29 June, 1991.[1] This was one of the items he attempted to pack into his sports bag along with his television and computer prior to the Dursley family's journey to the Railview Hotel and later the Hut-on-the-Rock.[2]
Behind the scenes
- VCRs were in common use in 1991 and at the time of publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone but have since largely been supplanted by devices capable of recording in the DVD format and digital video recorder devices. Some recent readers may be entirely unfamiliar with VCR devices, though they remain in abundant supply secondhand, generally at bargain prices.

The Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission has voted to permanently shut down a Texoma airport.
The Commission voted Thursday to begin closing Lake Murray Airport saying other area airports have greater need for the funding Lake Murray Airport receives.
They said because of a contract with the Federal Aviation Administration the state may be forced to pay back $184,000 in grant money.
The Commission will next ask the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to be relieved of those contractual obligations.

Darrieus, Georges Jeans Mary
Georges Jeans Mary Darrieus (1888-1979), a French engineer who designed the first modern vertical axis wind turbine (patented 1931). Of the several rotors Darrieus designed, the most important is a rotor made of slender, curved, airfoil-section blades attached at the top and bottom of a rotating vertical tube. Compared to the more common horizontal axis turbine, the Darrieus turbine design has several attractive features. First, the blade operates at very high tension, so a relatively light, inexpensive blade is sufficient. Second, by locating the power train, generator, and controls near ground level, they are easier to construct and maintain. Howerver, a disadvantage of the Darrieus turbine is that it is not typically self-starting, requiring an induction motor connected to the local power network to initiate operation.

The University of Maine has submitted a proposal to the state for a long-term contract for an offshore wind energy project.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ Maine Public Utilities Commission says the university filed the proposal on Friday.
PUC spokesman Harry Lanphear says the proposal is confidential. University officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
Its bid for an offshore wind project comes after lawmakers approved legislation backed by Gov. LePage to reopen the bidding process to let the university compete.
Norwegian energy company Statoil and the PUC agreed to terms in January for the $120 million project but the company said in July that it may abandon the project because the reopening of competition has created uncertainty.
The commission is expected to decide whether to authorize a contract by December 31.

Automobile Industry Moving in the Right Direction to Meet Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) jointly created a National Program of standards for light-duty vehicles that lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve fuel economy. Cars and light trucks' GHG emissions standards in the 2012 model year, the first year of the 14-year program, were 296 grams of GHG/mile. The EPA reports automakers' overall GHG performance was, on average, 286 grams of GHG/mile, which is 9.8 grams of GHG/mile below what the 2012 standards required. The EPA says, the automobile industry is "off to a good start".
GHG emission standards are projected by the EPA to cut 6 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases over the lifetimes of vehicles sold in model years 2012-2025. The agency released a Manufacturers Performance Report last week that evaluates how the automobile industry is doing in meeting GHG emissions standards. The report shows that the industry lowered tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions in 2012 and also used optional flexibilities included in the standards.
Some of the flexibilities include emissions credits transfer among manufacturers on a yearly basis and for improvements in air conditioning systems. The EPA's reasoning in allowing these flexibilities is that they will result in higher emissions reductions, lower compliance costs and more options for consumers.
Speaking of which, the report indicates consumer preference is playing an increasing role. Americans bought lower emission vehicles in the first year of the program than required by the 2012 GHG standard.
The EPA will wait to issue formal compliance determinations for the 2012 model year until 2015 because of the program's multi-year structure. However, the agency plans to continue tracking compliance and expects to produce annual manufacturers' performance reports for the program.
In more good news from the EPA, their most recent Fuel Economy Trends Report shows fuel economy improved by 1.2 mpg in 2012 compared to 2011, which is the second biggest improvement in the last 30 years.
Interview with Mr. Hans Wegner, Chief Sustainability Officer at the National Geographic Society
Carbonfund.org and National Geographic Society (NGS) have been partners in the fight against global climate change since 2009. Our relationship with NGS is managed by Mr. Hans Wegner, Chief Sustainability Officer at the Society whose leadership in the sustainability realm has been an inspiration to everyone at our Foundation.
In 2011, Han's leadership with the NGS "Green Team" led to his team receiving our For People and Planet award in the "Media" category for their efforts to reduce carbon dioxide (C02) emissions.
These efforts included reducing emissions from their operations by 80% with an additional goal of reducing emissions from their magazine paper and printing materials supply chain by 10% by 2015. The team has succeeded at numerous other efforts from obtaining Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design for Existing Buildings (LEED-EB) Gold Status for their headquarters building to compost and recycling programs in their cafeteria.
Since the origin of our relationship, with NGS, the Society has been a key supporter of several of our projects including the Purus REDD+ (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) Project in Acre, Brazil, and the Native Species Reforestation Project in Panama to offset the Society's respective travel and office emissions.
We had the opportunity to speak with Hans on his impressive 41 years at the National Geographic Society and his broader work in the sustainability realm.
1. Please describe your current role as Chief Sustainability Officer at NGS and what lead you to that position?
I came to the Society in 1973, with a background in commercial printing. I came here to work in one of the photographic labs, compiling film for wall maps for 1.5 years and subsequently became responsible for the production and then the manufacturing of the Magazine. During that time I also handled all paper purchasing for the Society so I became very conversant with the issues related to paper manufacturing and the paper market. I took particular interest in learning all I could about the environmental impacts of all aspects of paper making; from seedling in the ground to recycling of old paper products. I took great pride in working with our paper suppliers to make sure they abide by or exceeded all applicable environmental regulations.
In 2006 I headed up a group of concerned NGS employees who felt we as an organization could do more to reduce the impact our operations had on climate change and to raise our collective awareness of our responsibility to conduct our business sustainably. Our groups focused on measuring the carbon emissions that we as a company were responsible for, including those emitted on our behalf by our suppliers. We knew we had to know our corporate carbon footprint, not only in the aggregate, but by product line or service sector so we could have a roadmap for the remedial actions we wanted to take. On the basis of this information, we made our buildings carbon neutral, achieved LEED-EB Gold status for our complex, and certified our campus as Energy Star rated and implemented many energy saving features.
On the basis of our success, I was designated Chief Sustainability Officer in 2009.
2. How did you get started in sustainability work? Who or what inspired you to go into a career in sustainability?
I have always had an inclination to try to be environmentally responsible and I like to think of myself as acting on what I know to be true. This is what led me to set environmental policy for our paper suppliers when I was handling paper purchasing for the Society, implementing a requirement to use best forest management practices, to exceed the guidelines of the Clean Air and Water Acts. In the mid 1990's I became increasingly convinced of not only the fact of climate change, but the reality that it was human activity that was causing this phenomenon. Additionally human activity was consuming finite natural resources at obviously unsustainable rates. I was of course aware that the Society was publishing or producing related stories in our Magazine and TV productions on these subjects so the problem was not a lack of public awareness of the issues but rather a problem of failing to act on what we know. I felt compelled to make a difference and to act, so I began talking to people and knew there was a critical mass of my colleagues who felt strongly, wanted to help, and were willing to volunteer their time to make a difference. That led to the formation of the GoGreen Committee (Now Green Team) which has been meeting monthly since late 2006 and is leading the sustainability initiative at the Society.
3. What personal accomplishments in the sustainability realm are you most proud of?
I would have to say being instrumental in starting the sustainability initiative at the Society and thereby creating an awareness that we as an organization and as individuals could and needed to do more than we were.
As to specifics: 1) Focusing our efforts on knowing our carbon footprint and focusing our efforts at reducing that that footprint by eliminating waste where we found it and thereby eliminating the cost of that waste. 2) Setting and then achieving the goal of becoming a carbon neutral facility and qualifying our Buildings for LEED-EB Gold certification. 3) Doing the most comprehensive Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) ever done on a Magazine in cooperation with our paper and printing suppliers. This was completed in 2009. 4) Convincing the Society to become a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) driven company in 2012. 5) Committing the Society to the idea of offsetting our scope III carbon (all indirect emissions except for purchased electricity, heat and steam). To date, we have reduced our scope III by over 20% since 2008.
4. What are you currently working on in the sustainability realm?
We are working with our suppliers of printing and digital media storage to document their emissions on our behalf and to look into renewable energy for those emissions. We are working to achieve carbon neutral status for everything we do, and to send zero waste to landfill. My goal is to have sustainability become part of the culture of the Society.
5. What is your personal biggest sustainability challenge?
Changing behavior at our company and getting more companies to start addressing climate change. Behavior changes are hard. Energy has always been cheap in the US, and the challenge is to change that perception and get people to change their behavior and use less. The other challenge is for all of us to personalize climate change and take responsibility for that change. At the end of the day each of us must make a commitment to change if we are to solve this problem. We all have the tendency to wait for someone else to start. Don't wait for someone else. You do it. Each of us can start today by: not leaving lights on, shortening the showers we take, using mass transit, recycling everything we can, etc.
6. What is going to be the biggest challenge for sustainability in the next 20 years?
Complacency on the part of most of us. Dependence on someone else to do the job for us. Ignoring the noise from the fossil fuel industry to say everything is OK when it is clearly not. A Congress that is divided to the point of dysfunction, so no federal leadership is possible. The naysayers that persist in trying to say that this is not a problem, and it is bad for the economy to address this issue. The fear mongers who wish to use this issue to divide us rather than to say here is a challenge we can unite on and fix.
7. For the next generation of environmental professionals, what advice would you give?
You do not have to be an expert. Read and act on what you know. Make the business case that waiting is paramount to throwing money away and that America cannot compete with clean economies around the world. Make the business case that inaction, or little action, is far, far more expensive and costly to jobs and prosperity than the most drastic actions we take today.
8. How did Carbonfund.org help you achieve your sustainability goals?
Carbonfund.org has been able to find projects for us to help us offset our use of natural gas to heat our buildings and use in our cafeteria. It has also helped us find projects that offset our business travel. My question to any offset provider has always been: Can you get me a two 'fer or three 'fer? By which I mean I am looking for projects that not only reduce carbon buildup in the atmosphere by adding sequestration capacity, but does doing so expand the habitat for an endangered species (either flora or fauna) in an area, thereby enhancing the possibility of that species' survival? So I am always interested in finding projects that have multiple benefits with the primary one being carbon emissions reductions. So far, Carbonfund.org has done a really good job finding such projects for us.
9. Why did you choose to work with Carbonfund.org?
In keeping with the idea of sourcing locally, I liked that Carbonfund.org is in fact local to Washington DC metro area. I also like the fact of Carbonfund.org being a not-for-profit, as I believe that addressing climate change should not be a profit driven undertaking. That is not to say that we should not do business with for profit entities, it is just that if not-for-profit is an option; that is my preference so we can put more dollars into emissions reductions.
Fireclay Tile Neutralizes Annual Operational Emissions with Carbonfund.org
When Carbonfund.org Foundation was created ten years ago with the motto "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™", we knew we were positioning ourselves as the last-in-line solution in sustainability plans. The climate change education component to our mission is a very important one, and a significant portion of our website is dedicated to providing ways that businesses and individuals can reduce their carbon footprint before considering carbon offsetting strategies.
This approach has attracted businesses that take seriously their responsibility to seek out recycling, reuse, energy efficiency and emissions reduction opportunities. Fireclay Tile, a California-based sustainable tile manufacturer, is a great example.
"We are scavengers at heart and scrappy when it comes to saving resources; therefore we are committed to finding new and innovative ways to reuse cast off materials, and to incorporate sustainability into all levels of our manufacturing process, explains Eric Edelson, CEO of Fireclay Tile. "We chose to partner with Carbonfund.org simply because tile is heavy, and we wanted to offset the carbon footprint created by shipping our tile all over the world."
Fireclay Tile's Carbonfree® Business and Shipping program is a final step in the company's commitment to environmental sustainability. Fireclay uses Carbonfund.org's online business calculator to compute annual carbon emissions from office energy usage, business travel, and product shipping and delivery. The resulting offset donation supports forestry initiatives around the world that sequester carbon dioxide in formal third-party validated, verified and audited projects.
Fireclay's unique process includes made-to-order tile using recycled materials and sustainable manufacturing practices in their California operations. Their recycled clay body boasts of over 70% recycled materials, which include post-consumer glass, granite dust, and porcelain from toilets collected to back water conservation efforts in the Bay Area. Fireclay's glass tiles line is composed of 100% recycled glass from local window and solar panel production industries.
Fireclay maintains onsite recycling practices that include water reclamation at cutting and mixing stations, along with rainwater capture at their Aromas, CA factory. Glaze overspray is captured at each glazing station and is included with all scrap material and anything considered defective, then crushed into an aggregate for making the recycled clay. All orders are packaged for shipment using 100% recycled boxes, reused shipping crates, and sawdust from a local furniture manufacturer used to cushion shipments.
A fine example of "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™", Fireclay Tile is walking the walk, and Carbonfund.org is proud to assist in that last step.

I am new to digital scrapping and I am an addict!! I am more addicted to building my stash and sorting through old family photos at this point than doing actual lay outs, and I am trying to figure everything out on my own as I go.
So, here is a question that I have not been able to figure out....
what is a "tagger kit"?
I know I will have more questions as I go, but I thought this would be a good start to get my feet wet!

Mortal Kombat developers NetherRealm Studios bring their distinct fighting style to Injustice: Gods Among Us, presenting a kind of fighting game. A wider, cinematic story replaces the traditional ladder-based single-player experience, tying the wider story of the game into each battles. Gone too are the usual three-round battles, replaced by a single bout where each character has two health bars and a Super Meter. Charged by performing combos, your Super Meter will let you unleash your special moves, with a fully charged Super Meter letting you perform your strongest attack.
The Super Meter can also be used in special wager battles called the Clash system. Aided by individualised cutscenes, both players will secretly bet part of their meter, with the highest bidder winning the battle – and stealing the power from their opponent.
The battles in Injustice: Gods Among Us take place in a variety of multi-tiered 3D environments, each based on an iconic DC Comics location like the Batcave, Justice League Watch Tower and the Fortress of Solitude. These interactive locations make the battles even bolder, letting you use the environment around you as a weapon, using vehicles, buildings and more as part of your onslaught. Whether it's Superman lifting a car and smashing it on his opponent, or Batman firing projectiles to cause an explosion to catch his enemy in, these are battles that simply cannot be contained!
The original story of Injustice: Gods Among Us is split into several chapters, during which you will swap between characters as the story progresses and the battles escalate, letting you see every side of the conflict. There are also several mini-games including quick time events, the outcome of which can impact your next battle.
Multiplayer options include King of the Hill, an interesting twist that allows up to eight players to watch rival players duke it out while waiting for their turn to join the fray, giving insight into the skills and style of the other online players. Plus, playing through each of the game modes, including those online matches with goal objectives, will earn you XP to unlock avatars and other cool rewards.

Some good news for those following developments in the federal health reform initiative known as the affordable care act....except if you live in Maine. A new federal report finds that the average prices for insurance on the soon-to-be-open online Marketplace are lower than anticipated. But the cost of health insurance products in Maine rank among the highest in the nation. Still, advocates insist, the sticker price doesn't necessarily reflect the final cost for consumers.
According to a report released Wednesday by the US Department of Health and Human Services, the cost for a mid-level, so-called 'silver' plan on the marketplace in MAINE is just over 4-hundred dollars a month, compared to the national average of 328 dollars a month.
But Mitchell Stein of consumers for Affordable health care says if you're one of the eight to ten percent of Mainers who are expected to shop on the online Marketplace, you won't necessarily have to pay that much.
"It's like buying a car. Ya know, when's the last time you paid sticker price for a car?"
And Stein says its important to factor in tax credits, which are available to those making between 100 and 400 percent of the poverty level.
"And the way the premium tax credits are calculated, it's requiring individuals to spend a certain percent of their income toward their health insurance premium. And so that has a way of smoothing out the differences across the states."
For a family of four that earns 50-thousand dollars of income, the average sticker price for a mid-level silver plan varies widely from state to state- anywhere from about 600 dollars a month to over a thousand. But after the tax credit - which can be applied upfront - the monthly price comes down to 282 dollars in nearly every state. If you're a 27 year old making 25-thousand dollars a year, tax credits bring mid-level premium prices down to 145 dollars a month. But there is a caveat to all this, cautions Caroline Pearson of Avalere Health, a Washington, DC based health care consulting firm.
"We believe these plans are maintaining very low premiums by restricting the scope of their provider network, and by really including fewer physicians and hosptials in their network. That's how they're keeping prices down."
In Maine, Anthem Insurance embraced the narrow provider network, striking a deal with certain hospitals in order to reduce premiums by 12 percent. The other company offering products on the Marketplace - Maine Community Health Options - opted for a broad network. Aside from limited consumer choice in some plans, says Pearson, there 's also the issue of high deductibles.
"In a silver product for example, average deductibles will be a little over 2500 dollars a year. So for some folks, that may be very expensive out of pocket costs before their benefit design kicks in and they receive any benefit from the coverage."
But Mitchell Stein of Consumers for Affordable Health Care points out that the maximum deductible for any plan in the Marketplace is about 6300 dollars, which is a vast improvement compared to what individuals currently pay for their own insurance.
"Right now the average deductible sold in the state of Maine is 15-thousand dollars."
Plus, Stein says, some individuals will qualify for federal subsidies to help pay their deductible. Both Stein and Pearson say if you need to shop on the online marketplace - meaning, you don't have employee insurance or Medicare - take your time, compare plans, and ask for help to get the best bang for your buck.

These field trip posts are going to force me to go back to NYC (only not with my sister….she just wanted to go to the MTV store and the wax museum).
Wow! I have loved all of the posts that you have done on your trip to New York. The places and pictures were inspirational to the quilter and shopper in me. So fun!!!!
I am enjoying your tips about New York. I'm planning a trip to next year and reading your posts, I'm already anxious! Thanks for sharing. A hug.

Thanks so much – we're heading to NYC for vacation, and I'll be checking this place out for sure!
Another place to add to my list when I get to NYC next.

"I Don't Want to Stand Out,I Just Want to Dress Better Than Anyone Else"
Do you mind me asking your age?
"Up until 80 you lie about your age,after 80 you tend to brag. I am 85 years old."
Where do you get you style inspiration?
"I follow my mother's advice. She only had three outfits, but they were all very lovely.The best advice she gave me is that the shoulders have to fit just right."
How would you describe your style?
"I wear simple, formal clothes. I never wear pants. I don't dress up to impress anyone I just feel better. I don't want to stand out, I just want to dress better than anyone else."

"Wii think you suck!!"
Nintendo Co., Ltd. (任天堂株式会社 Nintendō Kabushiki Gaisha) is a Japanese corporation best known for pumping out classic video games, revolutionizing the gaming industry, and whoring Mario, Zelda, and Wii. Founded in 1889 by Japanese entrepreneur Fusajiro Yamauchi, they originally made trading cards for little Japanese kids called Poketto Monsutā to compete with American baseball cards. By 1963, they had experimented with other business ventures, such as the Nintendo Cab Company, the ill-fated Nintendo Love Hotel.[1], and the Godzilla franchise.
By the 1970's, Nintendo had developed into a video gaming corporation, becoming Japan's 3rd most influential and honorable company after the anime and hentai industries, propelling the video game industry to the top of the Japanese economy. It has also been one of the most valuable, with a net value of 85,000,000,000 yen (approximately $82.46 USD), and some might even say they have become somewhat famous worldwide.
Card Company (1889-1948)
Nintendo's origins can be traced all the way back to the year 1889. Fusajiro Yamauchi was the Secretary of Entertainment Emperor of Japan. With the threat of civil war looming on the horizon, the Emperor in all of his greatness and majesty called upon Yamauchison to create a distraction that would keep the people's minds off of rebelling against the Emperor and on more trivial matters. Thus Yamauchi and the Emperor founded the Nintendo Playing Card Company Limited. Their first product was intended as a double whammy: Pokemon cards would be a worthy competitor to American baseball cards, as well as something to distract the people of Japan from all of the abuses the Emperor was committing against them. Such abuses included the weekly reading of various religious texts in town squares, the flogging of people who yawned during the reading of various religious texts in town squares, and the execution of people who questioned the wisdom of reading these various religious texts in town squares. Naturally, the people played with their new Pokemon cards during these readings and they soon forgot about the abuse. As Japan continued on its meteoric and glorious rise to prominence in the world, Pokemon continued to help Nintendo grow as a company as well. It was said that when the Treaty of Portsmouth was signed, the Japanese gave the Russians a starter deck of Pokemon cards as a symbol of good-will following the Russo-Japanese War of 1905.
Godzilla (1953-1956)
For a few years in the 1950's Nintendo created an entire product line of fire-breathing monster films, wind-up toys, memorabilia, clothing, and monster-themed nightclubs. Their signature symbol, a 200-foot tall lizardly looking creature named Godzilla, symbolized the cowardly destruction of Japanese properties by dishonorable cowardly forces. These forces came from the sea, which is where Godzilla was supposedly "born" in the Nintendo story break-out. The franchise carried Nintendo for several years, until competitors began to create their own lines of giant insect/huge bird monster products. The Godzilla monopoly collapsed, but Nintendo had squirreled away enough profit to fund their next venture.
New Ventures (1956-1975)
In 1956, the CEO of Nintendo, Hiroshi Yamauchi, went to America to get inspiration for new business ideas. First, he went to the United States Playing Card Company, the largest card manufacturer in the country, where he witnessed the creation of many different kinds of cheap paper playing cards. It was then he realized that simply making only Pokemon cards severely limited Nintendo's business opportunities. With this in mind, he got Disney to give him access to their characters, which he used generously to help boost sales. This venture was short-lived, however, due to the fact that trying to force-feed the world's youth pictures of Donald Duck bowing to the Emperor of Japan and Mickey Mouse training Minnie in the ways of the Geisha didn't actually enchant the children, as intended, but just gave them Disney-themed nightmares. Always a man to look forward, Yamauchi renamed Nintendo Playing Card Limited to Nintendo Company, UnLimited to symbolize their willingness to try anything at least once. It was also at this time that Nintendo dusted off the playbook and started to create arcade video games.
Electronic Era (1975-present)
By 1975, Nintendo started developing the product that would eventually define them as a company: video games. No one is quite sure what the first arcade game Nintendo developed was, nor how it was played, but what is certain is that it sucked. We know this because no one remembers it. Nintendo also started developing its Color TV Game consoles at this time, along with a line of simple games, like tennis. Also during this time, they hired Shigeru Miyamoto, who would later take over the company. His rise to prominence was most evident with his creation of the Donkey Kong arcade game, which features such recognizable characters as Mario, Donkey Kong, Princess Peach, and Barrel #2.
In 1980, they released the Game & Watch handheld series, the world's first handheld gaming system. The series was very successful worldwide, despite the "revolutionary" graphics that it boasted.
Aside from early computer games, they made other "useful" devices like love testers. Love testers were developed to help Japanese teenagers see if they were compatible with each other or not. The process was all very technical, but it involved something to do with hooking wires up to ones genitals while applying a mild electric shock. Suffice to say it took the average Japanese teen four tries to realize that the product really didn't do anything besides shock one's testicles. The no refund policy Nintendo instated from the outset wasn't very popular with youth either.
The real successes started to pour in for Nintendo with the development of their Nintendo Entertainment System, affectionately known as the NES. This system is considered the platform that propelled video-gaming to the esteemed place it holds in our society today. When the NES first came on the market, kids who refused to play baseball in real life and instead played it on their TV were mercilessly beaten and taunted in school. Nowadays kids who are fit and play baseball outside are the outcasts, all thanks to Nintendo.
Modern Games and Consoles
Since the 1980's, Nintendo has been a leading developer and trendsetter in the video game industry. After kids became tired of the 8 bit graphics of the NES, Nintendo released what was essentially a 16 bit version of the NES, known by the very imaginative and creative name of Super NES. This console whipped the floor with the major competition, the inferior Sega Genesis, and set the standard for the next few years.
The first Nintendo console with the power to support 3-D graphics, the 64-bit machine boasted many classics such as Super Mario 64 and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It sold millions of units, and became instantly successful among the 90's generation of gamers. Unfortunately also at this time, corporate giant Square-Enix abandoned Nintendo for Sony's Playstation, which boasted better graphics and CD technology, to which Shigeru Miyamoto responded by quietly ordering the total destruction of the dishonorable and inferior company Sony. The honorable Japanese press quickly uncovered Nintendo's plan and their sales dropped to an all-time low 4.2 million consoles per week. Attention was quickly drawn away from the scandal, however, when Nintendo released a filler Mario game under the slogan, "Hey, look! Another Mario game!" Sales immediately climbed to all-time highs in the following weeks.
Game Cube
An example of a Nintendo advertisement for the Cube of Games is given below:
The Wii was touted by Nintendo as the most photo-realistic gaming system to date. They neglected to mention that the date they were referring to happened to be sometime in 1999 rather than 2007. With the Wii it was claimed, you could golf with Tiger Woods, "bowl" with Paris Hilton, and interrupt Taylor Swift's acceptance speeches all with just a movement of your wrist. The Wii, with its motion controllers, was touted as the first healthy video-gaming system, and it was said to have been designed with "Americans especially in mind." Studies have shown though that the wrist movements needed to play Wii games are about as calorie-burning as the act of eating. The hype created by Nintendo prior to the release of the Wii, however, was very real. The anticipation was brought to a fever-pitch when it was revealed that the Emperor was personally looking forward to playing "Wii Sports." With this game, players play sports such as baseball and tennis without having to go to all the trouble of actually joining a team. The photo-realistic quality and realism of Wii Sports was touted as a way for Japanese youth to increase self-esteem and make them feel like they are extremely good at sports. The unintended downside of this was their dreams being crushed upon trying these sports in real life. Ultimately though, the dishonorable prospect of flicking one's wrist slightly for hours on did not appeal to the honorable youths of Japan, and therefore, the product has suffered since release. The Emperor has since declared Wii Sports to be "Pretty boring" and sales of the game have plummeted to unthinkable and shameful levels.
The future of Nintendo
Many futuristic games and add-on features are in the works over at the Nintendo building, down the block from the Emperor's palace. The honorable Emperor eagerly awaits the much more interesting sequel to Wii Sports and monitors its progress from his windows. From documents smuggled out of the building in the empty samurai sword-holders of the dishonorable and despicable corporate spies of Sony, it is apparent that Nintendo plans to blow the competition away with its ingenious and perfect implementation of its superior motion-technology. An example that illustrates this is one game that hearkens back to the simple days of Nintendo tennis. The game comes with a real 2 ft. x 2 ft. blacktop on which the gamer stands. Through the ingenious use of Japanese motion technology, the gamer can feel like he/she is running on gravel and can even flirt with the simulated ballgirls and ballboys, all with the flick of a wrist. The game is actually called "Blow the Competition Away" interestingly enough.
Another product near completion (in the spirit of Nintendo's old habit to expand into multiple industries) is a deluxe portable silicon-based dog which pees, attacks strangers, licks various body parts of the owner, and humps the legs of worthy Japanese citizens. The dog is programmed to chase squirrels all the way up a tree and into their little nests before tearing them apart. Fun for the whole family! This product is eagerly awaited for by the honorable Japanese Prison guards who protect the Japanese population from the dishonorable Korean criminals that clog Japan's prisons.
There is another untitled game in development in which a building in Tokyo catches on fire. This fire is presented in a soothing, hygienic, and entertaining fashion in accordance with basic Japanese law regulating disaster-oriented video games. The main character (either the honorable fireman or the beautiful heroine) must rush through the falling rafters, melting steel, and arsonists attempting to either stop them or push them into the flames. This all in order to save the baby and princess trapped in the inferno. The funny plot-twist though? Well, when you get to the end you are given a choice of saving either the baby or the princess, but not both. Interestingly, when loyal subjects tested this game, it seems that the choice of who to save was almost always predetermined by the gender of the character chosen. Such are the ways of:

The L-word still defines Lance Armstrong.
Lie Strong.
The most accomplished cyclist in history told Oprah Winfrey that he doped to win the seven Tour de France titles that turned him into a world celebrity.
This confession, though unclear until more details are known in an interview that airs Thursday and Friday, is a stunning reversal for a proud athlete who spent the past decade vilifying his accusers.
Cheating in sports is hardly new. Money and egos make for a ripe cocktail, intoxicating competitors to win at all costs. What makes Armstrong's admission different is the carnage left in its wake.
Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds destroyed sacred records, and their achievements were unrecognized in last week's Hall of Fame vote. Armstrong ruined careers and lives while defending himself.
For almost a decade, Armstrong stuck out his chin, daring anyone to prove he cheated. He turned all charges back on accusers, labeling them as jealous and vindicative.
Armstrong had brilliant lawyers and an ingenious cloak. Attacks on Armstrong became attacks on his war against cancer. No one can ever dispute the impact Armstrong has had in raising money for research and serving as an inspiration for cancer victims. But he benefited from Livestrong as well.
It was part of his defense against detractors. How dare you hurl accusations after everything I've overcome? Why would I take drugs after nearly dying from cancer?
Those who knew the truth became not flies on his windshield, but bugs that had to be stomped into the cement. Armstrong's status freed him to bully those who questioned him. He used the trust he had built up as an icon to win the court of public opinion against former teammates, competitors and journalists.
They were all out to get him.
America is a forgiving society, but Armstrong's case is different from those of previous loathsome liars in sports. He was ruthless in his defense, making any admission hard to accept. It wasn't that he was a cheat on the bike — that is clearly easy to rationalize given the drug mess existing in cycling for years. It's that he was evil.
A bad guy is different from a bad sport.
That's why anything less than a soul-baring interview is worthless. When he comes clean, it has to be full and comprehensive on multiple levels.
First, he must apologize to those he directly tried to destroy, like former teammate Frankie Andreu and his wife, Betsy, who were among the first insiders to testify about Armstrong's admitted drug use as part of a lawsuit. Armstrong mercilessly ripped them, calling Betsy "crazy." Her husband's career spiraled, Andreu admitting he was seen as a liability.
Reporter David Walsh, who spent the past 13 years detailing and investigating Armstrong's connection to performance-enhancing drugs, deserves more than an apology. His Sunday Times paper is seeking to recover the money it lost in a libel suit against Armstrong.
What about former Tour de France winner Greg LeMond? Armstrong painted him as a bitter, envious man. LeMond didn't deserve that. No one in Armstrong's path ultimately did.
Full transparency in his mea culpa to Oprah is necessary. Anything less would just show another example of the powerful, stubborn Armstrong trying to control the narrative. There's no rabbit going back down that hole. The fantasy is over. The fraud is the reality.
After his admission, which will open him up to lawsuits, and after the apologies, he must detail how he allegedly never tested positive. If he cares at all about the sport, he will concede that he was aided by others. He can mention those names behind closed doors, if necessary, but he must explain who helped him and how. That's the type of naked truth that can move a sport forward. No one believes he pulled this off alone.
Let's be clear: Armstrong didn't request an interview with Oprah because he needed public sympathy. Everything with this man is calculated. He wants his lifetime ban lifted so that he can compete in triathlons. His lifetime ban can be reduced to eight years, and possibly less, if he testifies under oath to USADA.
Oprah admitted that the interview was awkward, intense and not what she expected. That mirrors the reaction to Armstrong's defrocking.
He cheated his sport, and lied to the cancer patients, so many of whom he helped.
At this point, Armstrong the athlete is irrelevant. The question is: Will Armstrong the person follow suit?

Police said they arrived to the scene of a wreck Monday night to find a woman hyperventilating in her vehicle and the origin of her fear already scurried into the woods.
River Bend police said they got a call at 11:44 p.m. Monday to Highway 17 South near Old Pollocksville Road.
According to police, 30-year-old Rashidah Richardson said she was driving her sport-utility vehicle along the highway when a huge bear dart out in front of her.
Officer Sean Joll said the woman was uninjured and reported the bear kept running across the highway and disappeared into the dark after the brief collision.
The SUV did not sustain serious damage, according to police.
When asked if any charges would be filed, Officer Joll replied, "Only if I can find that bear."

What a strange year it has been weather wise. First, a record amount of snow had us shoveling out for most of January and February. Who ever heard of, let alone use, a roof rake?
Then it is was a tornado that ripped through nearby Springfield and Monson, MA. We're not in Kansas, or are we, anymore Toto!
Tropical Storm Irene swept over New England and cause some of the most devastating damage and flooding we've seen in a looong time. People were flooding the hardware stores for generators (yours truly included).
Then we get a "Freak" snowstorm in October that knocked most of us out of power for a week or more. Over 830,000 customers were without utilities due to heavy snow that snap trees and telephone poles like toothpicks. The damage was far worst than Irene and to top it off..it ruin Halloween! There were plenty of restless souls out there after that storm.
But just as every coin has two sides, so does a snow storm...
Bob Heslin of Plainville gets in his daily run at Norton Park Wednesday afternoon as a blanket of snow from last weekends nor'easter and the autumn leaves combine for a classic New England fall day. Heslin is one of the fortunate ones in the state to have electricity.
(L to R) Steve Gora of New Britain and Jack Kucharski of Cromwell take a breather and a drink during their weekly tennis match at Walnut Hill Park in New Britain Wednesday afternoon. The pair did not let a little snow or broken branches on the court from last weekends devastating snow storm keep them from getting a good work out. Both were fortunate to have not lost power during the historic storm.
With leaves still on the tree behind her a fresh blanket of snow before her, Mia Clement, 8, of Bristol waits to hit the slope at the Roberts Property Dog Park Wednesday afternoon. School had been canceled for the week in Bristol and many surrounding towns as they try to restore electricity to residents.
Alex Madore practices his guitar while his brother Nick boogies across their Summit Street porch roof Wednesday morning as the bright sun provides some welcome warmth. Mom, Elizabeth, a work at home mother, and her youngest Noah, had joined the boys at times to try and cope with having no electricity for the fourth day after a late October snow storm crippled the state knocking out power to over 800,000 people at the peak. Elizabeth said that is was warmer in the sun than in the house which is probably in the mid to upper forties.
I had been driving around town looking for photos to go with our MyTowns section (TV Guide) and tried to avoid some of the typical storm damage photos we had been seeing all weekend. When I drove past this house I spotted the mom and one of her sons out there so I double back around and found an area that I could shoot with a long telephoto lens and not be seen by the group. When Alex brought out his guitar and started playing and his brother came out of the window and danced across the roof, I knew I had my picture.
Sara Guiliani of Bristol tries to snowboard down a hill at the Roberts Property Dog park on Wednesday. Since there was no school for the week and no power in the house, she and her family decided to take advantage of the beautiful day and get some sledding and boarding in.
As Bob Heslin finished his run at Norton Park he had to alter his course slightly due to the large Oak tree that had snapped and lay across the path he normally would take.
I lost power late Saturday night and was fortunate to have it back by Wednesday night. I also had a generator (thanks Irene!) and two elderly parents, my dad and my mother in-law, stay with us for the week since they didn't get power back until Friday. It sure was an interesting week work and home wise. Thank God this year is almost over because I don't know how much more I can take before I snap like that big old Oak!
Pro Tip: The number one thing about covering major storms is to be safe. Don't take unnecessary risks just to get an amazing picture. You're life is more important than any image, live wires kill!
One day our assignment editor sent out an email telling us we were going to cover the storm a little different the next day, we will "take a new approach for documenting post-storm conditions around the state. This time, please shoot crews restoring power and clearing trees." The comment was tongue-in-cheek, humor is a good way to release the stress that these types of stories bring, even if it is short lived.
