Let's talk a little more in depth about the Legend of Zelda content that was revealed at E3 this morning. There may also be more by the end of E3, especially since there was talk of Zelda Williams coming to the show to talk about something specific. Obviously the most exciting bit is the new title shown off. It does not have a set name or date yet, simply a 2015 at the end of the trailer. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTMhGg5mtp8#t=14) It was emphasized greatly that they wanted to go back to the free roaming open world that was the first Legend of Zelda game, and in the trailer Aonuma gestures behind him at the scenery and mentions that you can travel all the way to the mountains in the background. This Game is going to be huge and not to mention gorgeous! All the visuals from the trailer are confirmed in game engine and not pre rendered. In the trailer you see a hooded figure riding horseback being chased by a massive monster shooting fire. As the cloak is removed you see link sporting an unusual new color: blue! He is also rocking a small ponytail and a new magic bow shooting fire at this new enemy. It doesn't show anything related to the storyline or much else other than showing off the new art style. It is slated for next year, most likely later, after another showing at next years E3.
Next let's look at the Hyrule warriors news we got today! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z107NbGUIOk ) Princess Zelda and Midna are confirmed as playable characters with more to be revealed later on. Some of the weapons it shows Zelda using is a sword and her bow of light. Midna is seen fighting with a new shadow wolf form. In the trailer we see several of the fighters making use of their many styles of fighting and link showing of lots of different weapons, from his trusty sword to giant bombs! We also see an Ocarina of Time style great fairy flying around link in a cut scene type snippet. There is also a small reveal teaser of Gannondorf himself, whether or not he is the main villain of the game is yet to be seen, but rest assured that Gannon will be causing some sort of trouble for our heroes.

The on-going Investigation Into The Paranormal Near Show Low, Arizona continues. The first investigation took place in October 2013, and I was called to investigate the strange knocking on the side of a 27 foot aluminum trailer parked in a remote parcel of land. Initially we were hoping it could be a Bigfoot event. I responded with game cameras to capture an image of the culprit. Our game cameras did not catch any creatures, but we got some very interesting footage of the chicken wire used to enclose a cat run allowing the house cats to go outside without fear of coyotes. The chicken wire lit up in spots with some kind of plasma discharge. Viewers of the videos also reported seeing distorted face reflections in the metal skin of the trailer.
The investigations have continued. And one was conducted during April, 2014. On the night of 9 April, some interesting events took place. At first the night started out quiet. Game cameras where set up outside in key positions around the trailer. Mirrors were set in the trailer windows to allow viewing of all sides of the trailer.
A low grumbling sound was heard, and it was shortly followed by a thump on the side of the trailer at 9:45 PM. The thump sounded as if the trailer was struck by a stick. However, all trees had been cleared from around the trailer, and there are no grid power lines in the area. Solar power is the power source.
Low voices could be heard near the back of the trailer, and then movement around the front trailer window followed. It was not necessary for me to leave the safety of the trailer because of my game cameras and the mirrors I had installed. I figured any intruder would be cought on video.
The thumps and voices continued on the side of the trailer for nearly an hour. Eventually, the activity moved to the front side of the trailer, and the door in particular. It sounded as if something was looking for access into the trailer. I got up to take a peek out the windows, but I could see nothing.
A short time later, as I was typing on the computer, the web cam started picking up a strange static sound along with some base sounding burps. As the wiry sound got more prevalent, the base sound became more frequent. It almost sounded like some type of code. This was the beginning of what I considered non-Bigfoot behavior. I was perhaps dealing with other forces, or maybe a multiple event.
To Be Continued…

Brooks, UA's starting free safety, paces an Arizona secondary that is second in the Pacific-10 Conference and 30th in the nation in pass defense, while also leading all Wildcat defenders with 51 total tackles (35 solo, 16 assisted) this season.
Baugher, the Division I leader in punting (48.2 ypp), has virtually eliminated all opposition punt returns. Kicking 33 times this season, Baugher has seen just 11 punts get returned, placed another 11 punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line and has 15 kicks of 50 or more yards this year, including a career-long 76-yarder against Purdue. In back-to-back games in September, Baugher smashed the Pac-10 and school records for individual punting average (59.7 ypp vs. NAU) and team net punting (57.6 vs. Purdue). His efforts have helped lead UA to the top spot among all Division I teams in net punting average (42.0).

Evan Vucci, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is weighing limiting deportations of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally who don't have serious criminal records, according to two people with knowledge of his deliberations.
The change, if adopted following an ongoing review ordered by President Barack Obama, could shield tens of thousands of immigrants now removed each year solely because they committed repeat immigration violations, such as re-entering the country illegally after having been deported, failing to comply with a deportation order or missing an immigration court date.
However, it would fall short of the sweeping changes sought by activists. They want Obama to expand a two-year-old program that grants work permits to certain immigrants brought here illegally as children to include other groups, such as the parents of any children born in the U.S.
John Sandweg, who served until February as acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said he had promoted the policy change for immigrants without serious criminal records before his departure and that it was being weighed by Johnson. An immigration advocate who's discussed the review with the administration also confirmed the change was under consideration. The advocate spoke on condition of anonymity because the proceedings are confidential.
"Any report of specific considerations at this time would be premature," Clark Stevens, a spokesman for the Homeland Security Department, said Monday. Stevens said Johnson "has undergone a very rigorous and inclusive process to best inform the review," including seeking input from people within DHS as well as lawmakers of both parties, and other stakeholders.
The approach outlined by Sandweg and the immigration advocate would change the existing priority categories that now include immigrants who've re-entered the country after they have been deported previously, and those who are fugitives from immigration proceedings. Such people would be taken off the priority list.
The remaining priority categories focus on recent border-crossers and immigrants who pose a danger to national security or public safety or who've been convicted of crimes. Some of those categories might also be refined or changed, and others could be added.
"The time had come to focus ICE's efforts exclusively on public safety and national security," Sandweg said in explaining why he pushed for the change prior to his departure from the agency. He estimated that some 20,000 deported immigrants fell into the categories in question last year.
The potential changes come as Johnson proceeds with a review ordered by Obama on how to make deportation policy more humane. With comprehensive immigration legislation stalled in the GOP-led House after passing the Senate last year, Obama has come under intense election-year pressure to stem deportations, which have neared 2 million on his watch, and allow more of the 11.5 million immigrants living illegally in the U.S. to stay.
Many activists, who've staged hunger strikes on the National Mall and outside the White House, want sweeping action by Obama to give legal certainty and work permits to millions more immigrants, like he did for those who arrived illegally as children and attended school or served in the military.
It's not clear whether the administration ultimately will take such steps. Obama has said repeatedly his options are limited without action by Congress and has sought to keep the onus on House Republicans.
"The only way to truly fix it is through congressional action. We have already tried to take as many administrative steps as we could," Obama said last week at a news conference. "We're going to review it one more time to see if there's more that we can do."
For now, administration officials appear more focused, instead, on more limited, near-term steps that could still make a difference for the immigrant population, according to lawmakers and activists who've met with administration officials.

'The Next Food Network Star' cuts no one, opts for Final 3 finale
By Christopher Rocchio, 07/21/2008
None of the remaining finalists were eliminated during last night's
The Next Food Network Star
penultimate fourth-season broadcast -- meaning for the first time ever on the show, three contestants will compete for the reality competition series' grand prize instead of just two.
Aaron McCargo Jr., a 36-year-old executive catering chef at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital from Camden, NJ; Adam Gertler, a 30-year-old former restaurateur, server and actor from Philadelphia, PA; and Lisa Garza, a 32-year-old kitchenwear fashion designer and owner of Suze Restaurant from Dallas, TX, will all compete during next week's finale for the grand prize of his or her own six-episode Food Network series.
The Next Food Network Star
penultimate fourth-season episode began following the previous elimination of Kelsey Nixon, with the remaining three finalists still in Las Vegas.

Aaron, Adam and Lisa then met
Iron Chef America
star and
The Next Food Network Star
fourth-season judge
Bobby Flay and second-season winner Guy Fieri at the Venetian resort.
Bobby explained that each finalist would receive a 30-second promo written specifically for them, which they'd have to learn and deliver on their own to promote their shows. Each finalist would be shooting in a different Las Vegas location and either Bobby or Guy would be there to lend a helping hand.
"I know that Lisa and Adam have got this," opined Aaron. "But I also know that I've got what it takes to get it."
Lisa arrived at Aureole -- a critically-acclaimed restaurant at Mandalay Bay -- where she was met by Guy, who revealed she'd be delivering her promo while suspended from the ceiling in front of a giant wine tower. She immediately had a hard time remembering her lines, which in turn made her "lose all confidence."
"I can't remember what I'm supposed to be doing, and I get really frustrated and disappointed," she said. "I'm just beating myself up."
Aaron met Bobby at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino and learned he'd be delivering his promo right on the casino floor.
"It's definitely a little intimidating," said Aaron.
Aaron's nerves initially showed, however he eventually relaxed and got better -- delivering his lines with confidence and only a few more flubs.
"I have no more fears," he said. "I feel good. I really feel good."
Adam arrived at the Jubilee Theater, where he was met by Guy and several showgirls. Adam learned he'd be gracing the stage with the showgirls for his promo, which was more complicated than the others because it required choreography. However Adam was confident since he'd been on stage "many, many times" before and acting and performing is a "passion" of his.
Despite the confidence, Adam initially struggled delivering his lines while also sticking with the choreography.
"This isn't looking good for me right now," he opined.
The three finalists then met Guy at the Wynn Las Vegas Resort & Country Club for their next challenge, which would see them each create their own "lavish, over-the-top monster buffet."
In addition to impressing the show's judging panel -- Bobby, Bob Tuschman and Susie Fogelson -- Guy revealed the finalists would also be feeding and entertaining some of Wynn's chefs and entertainers. To create the buffet, the finalists would receive six hours and a $1,000 budget.
The challenge commenced with the finalists traveling to a grocery store to shop for their ingredients. While things seemed to be going smoothly, Lisa hit a problem when part of her fish order fell out of her shopping cart and she didn't realize it.
The finalists returned to Wynn's Tryst nightclub, where they'd be preparing and serving their buffets. Guy then revealed previously eliminated fourth-season finalists Kelsey, Shane Lyons and Jennifer Cochrane would be serving as the challenge's sous chefs. Lisa picked first and chose Kelsey, Adam picked Shane, and Aaron and Jen were paired up.
Adam's buffet consisted of smoked pork chops, chicken wings and mushroom pizza; sweet potato fries; crab salad; and banana cream pie. Aaron's buffet consisted of sirloin bruschetta; orzo salad; chicken bow-tie pasta; chicken tortellini salad; crab cakes; and chocolate fondue. Lisa's buffet consisted of monkfish piccata; pork roast; twice-baked potatoes; asparagus vinaigrette; tomato and mozzarella salad; and poached pears.
Adam built a makeshift smoker out of some woks in the kitchen and Aaron wasn't concerned about having three pasta dishes on his menu. However Lisa immediately realized she was missing a bag of fish.
"Instead of having 50 four-ounce portions, I am going to have to figure out how I can stretch that," she said. "I'm really upset by the fact that I made such a dumb mistake."
Things only got worse for Lisa, as she burned her pork dish since she was working with ovens she wasn't familiar with. She quickly scraped the outside of the pork to cover her mistake before slicing it and plating it.
The challenge ended and the judges and special guests -- which included showgirls, the cast of
, some celebrity impersonators and the Wynn chefs -- arrived. Each finalist introduced their buffet using a different method, with Lisa stealing the show via her singing; Aaron bombing with an ill-performed comedy routine; and Adam taking a straight-laced approach.
The buffet commenced and the judges and guests sampled the various dishes. Lisa's overcooked, dry pork was called out by Guy and Bob; Aaron's lack of creativity was criticized; and Adam's dishes were largely enjoyed by everybody, especially his dessert.
The Next Food Network Star
penultimate fourth-season judging panel then commenced, with Bob, Susie, Bobby and Guy determining which two finalists would return to New York for the finale.
Aaron's promo was complimented by Bobby for having "the flow," and Bob added Aaron "held the camera" and had "winner's energy." However Bob also thought Aaron's buffet introduction was risky and "didn't work" before adding three pasta dishes negated the "unbelievable variety" of most buffets.
"I've had better food from you in the past than I had from you at the buffet, unfortunately," said Bobby.
Lisa's promo was recognized for being difficult and Susie thought her buffet introduction was a risk that paid off. Bobby thought Lisa's buffet was "incredibly elegant" and liked his portion of pork, however Guy couldn't say the same.
Adam's humor in his promo was praised by Susie, however Guy and Susie both noticed his buffet introduction lacked preparation and was boring. In addition, Guy thought the smoker might have been too much of an undertaking. However the majority of Adam's dishes were praised, with his pork chop taking the "favorite overall dish" from the special guests.
The judges then deliberated their decision.
"I don't know who to kick off," opined Bob. "There are parts of each of them that are wildly imperfect, and there are other parts of them that exceed our wildest dreams of what we want to find in our star."
Bob then revealed that none of the three remaining finalists would be eliminated and all would be moving onto the finale.
The Next Food Network Star
fourth-season finale will air Sunday, July 27 at 10PM ET/PT on Food Network.

Spring Lee, Examiner- I'm with Qeric Koten today. He is a gamer, designing professional and an inventor who is based in Moreno Valley, Riverside, California.
I am simply astounded by his newest invention, and I believe that you will be too. It is the QuadraClicks Mouse, and and this is something we have never seen before. I have persuaded this smart, funny and very talented 28 year old gamer to sit down for a short interview. Here's a glimpse into how it went.
Question: So, Eric with a Q, tell us, where did this idea come from?
Qeric: Well, I'm a designer and a gamer, more of the latter really (chuckles). The idea came to me when I was driving to Los Angeles one morning, tapping my fingers on the steering wheel, and I couldn't help but think to myself, "what if I designed a mouse that could use the returning action as a click, voluntarily?" Wouldn't that be far more convenient than trying to press extra buttons next to the two already dominant left and right click? Also, I was a hare breeder back in high school, wasn't very successful at it, but it was quite a fun experience and hence the looks.
Question: Did you sell your rabbits to meat farms?
Qeric: Oh no, of course not!! I sold them to pet stores, but most of them were given away to people as pets.
Question: That's comforting to know. Are you planning to make the QuadraClicks mouse available to public?
Qeric: Yes, I would like to, given the right circumstances and things, sure. Bringing a new product to market, especially a new concept to market is very expensive. As for the moment, I have talked to some buyers that have showed interest, but I don't have the finance in place yet.
Question: Since we're at it, why don't you tell us how the QuadraClicks works?
Qeric: Yeah, sure. QuadraClicks is the ultimate efficiency booster for gamers, designers, architect and engineers. So, think about this, without having to move your fingers around is one aspect, having embedded hot-keys with the UpClick is another.
As a designer, I configured my personal QuadraClicks Mouse to have multiple design software hotkeys. The library recognizes the software I'm using, and loads a list of my preset commands on the right UpClick (Left Upclick for the lefties) There's like 500 hotkeys for Photoshop, but I usually only uses around 8 or 9.
So I preset & save my favorite ones in there, when needed, one Upclick brings out my personalized hotkey menu, then I just take from that. And as for gaming, I have it preset for each game I play.
For example, with league of legends, I use my left Upclick for Q, which is usually the primary skill-shot, and Right Upclick for F, which is usually ignite. It's as simply as aiming & then just click.
For first person shooting types of games, I usually preset my left Upclick to Space which is usually jump; left Downclick to fire, right Downclick to Ctrl which is usually crawl, and right Upclick for R which is usually reload. This way my left hand only does the movements.
QuadraClicks can help you maximize your gaming experience!
Question: Awesome, so what are your downsides?
Qeric: As you may already know, when gamers get older, our reflexes suffer...(chuckles), but I've seen solid improvements, still owning on games like League of Legends like a boss, since it's more of a strategy-to-action skill based game, and the QuadraClicks mouse, too.
Question: Do you want to talk about your gaming strategies?
Qeric: Not really, I actually lose more often than I win. It's just the nature of the game, especially when you go solo random as much as I have. You see that pile of broken laptops?
Question: Yeah, tell me about them?
Qeric: Umm... let's save that for another interview on topics like "how gamer-rage actually drives the economy"?
This concludes the exclusive sneak peek into our interview with Qeric Koten, but if you'd like to know more about "The QuadraClicks Mouse" or talk to Qeric Koten, you can email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Protesters greeted lawmakers at the state capitol on a day full of customs and celebration. A group of immigrant protesters and their supporters came to warn lawmakers they're ready to rally if discriminatory immigration legislation is filed.
Melissa McGuire, an immigrant advocate, says lawmakers need to consider the needs of illegal residents. "When ever they pass bills they need to take into consideration immigrants. They are part of our community and even though they can't vote, yet, they still have family members who can vote so they have to treat them like any other constituent."
A group of hoodied protestors lined up near the doors of the House Chambers asking lawmakers to remember Trayvon Martin, the teen shot dead in Sanford last year by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman.
Ciara Taylor with the Dream Defenders helped organize the protest of about half a dozen college students. "The Dream Defenders are here to remind legislators to remember Trayvon Martin when they make legislation that can disproportionally affect black and brown youth in the state of Florida like Stand Your Ground, Zero Tolerance Policy, the privatization of our prison system."
And finally a group of voters with cardboard signs called on lawmakers to reform state election laws.
Marilyn Carter says she waited four hours to vote in Duval County. "I live in a predominantly minority community and a lot of our precincts were condensed or relocated. The information was kind of slow about coming out. I notices that some of other the more affluent areas had shorter waiting times."
All three groups say they made the trip to Tallahassee for the one day organizational session to let their elected official know, they will be watching.

Evidence for the Structure of Atoms
Our current picture of the atom wasn't created all at once; it was built up and improved step by step based on experimental evidence and some extremely clever insights.
Some ancient Greek philosophers speculated that everything might be made of little chunks they called "atoms." The name comes from a Greek word meaning "uncuttable"; atoms were supposed to be unbreakable, the smallest possible units of anything.
This is the same John Dalton I mentioned in our discussion of atomic weight. As I said then, he and others had noticed that elements in chemical reactions combine in certain definite proportions; this, Dalton guessed, had to mean that the elements were made of tiny, unbreakable chunks that always stick together in the same ways--two hydrogen chunks plus an oxygen chunk always makes water, for example.
So Dalton's guess was right.
It was, and it wasn't. The scientific world soon accepted that atoms did exist...but were they really unbreakable?

HTC Triumph (a rebranded Titan) to be China's first Windows Phone, available on March 14
The first Windows Phone to be officially launched in China won't be a Nokia, nor a ZTE. That's despite efforts (and promises) from both of those companies that they would bring Microsoft's newest mobile OS to the mainland.
No, it's going to be HTC who'll first have a Windows Phone on the market in China, according to WPDang. The HTC Triumph will become available on March 14, and pre-orders are already on the way.
The HTC Triumph isn't an entirely new device despite its new name, it's basically just a rebranded HTC Titan. It will run Windows Phone Tango, thus possibly also becoming the first WP Tango device to be released.
Unfortunately though, it won't be cheap. That's to be expected with that huge screen, at least to a point. The Triumph will retail for 4,399 yuan (which amounts to approximately $698 or €530). So it remains to be seen whether the Chinese will have such a huge appetite for WP that they'll line up to pay that much for a device from last year.
While HTC will be the first to bring a Windows Phone to the Chinese market, it probably won't be the cheapest. Both Nokia's Lumia 800 and ZTE's upcoming offerings are expected to be cheaper, and Nokia's will also probably be carrier subsidized, unlike the Triumph.

This is shaping up to be one brutal winter with multiple snowfalls and bitterly cold days. In a pedestrian city like New York that means dressing to keep warm is your best line of defense on the streets. And for dog owners that means dressing your canine companion to offer protection from freezing temperatures and streets full of chemical deicers that can damage and irritate paw pads.
Pet safe deicers are an ideal solution but seldom are these the deicer of choice in most urban areas (something to add on to your building's wish list if possible). The next step is barrier protection, which simply means putting something between paw pads and sidewalk. There are waxes formulated specifically for this purpose. In order for these waxes to be effective a thick enough layer needs to be applied. Booties are another option. To work with booties know that you have to acclimate your dog to them and make sure they are properly fitted and put on. Treats, treats and more treats are your best friend in getting your dog to accept even the idea of booties. Make it a gradual process offering treats just when the booties are in site and when you are trying them on. Never, ever force your pup into wearing booties or display negative emotion in putting them on. And remember that dew claw, be extra careful not to catch it when putting booties on (I place the dewclaw under my finger and slide the booties over my finger first to insure it does not catch). With a bit of patience and practice booties can be a set part of your dog's winter wardrobe.

I will be teaching an online course on the science and philosophy of free will for the Center for Inquiry Institute this May. Anyone can register. Fee varies (from $30 to $70 depending on your status). Details on the course and registration options are provided at the CFI Website. It is one month only, four modules, with readings and discussions. Learn at your own pace. My co-instructor will be the philosopher John Shook, but I will be fielding most of the work. This is one of many courses offered by the CFI Institute throughout the year. I have taught several myself (on the philosophy of naturalism and the origins of Christianity and the historicity of Jesus).
As CFI explains:
There is no specific time that you must be online. There is no "live" part to these courses, and you cannot miss anything even if you can only get online at 6am or 11pm — you can log in and participate anytime, day or night, 24/7. A certificate of course completion is available to students who do participate online (as opposed to only lurking and reading, which is also an unobjectionable option for some students). Completion of eight courses at the Expertise 200-level is rewarded with the Institute's Certificate of Expertise.
As to the content of this new course specifically:
This four-module short course discusses the intersection between science and philosophy in defining and understanding free will, with the aim of learning the latest science on the nature and existence of free will and how to critically approach philosophical uses of it. Students will not only learn about the relevant elements of brain science, but also how to identify common philosophical fallacies in reasoning about free will.
To that end, course topics will include:
The varieties of free will and the differences among them; identifying causes and the role of personal identity in making decisions (and what the latest brain science has to say about both); the nature and purpose of assigning responsibility to personal agents (in law and daily life); the difference between determinism and fatalism, and the importance of addressing both personal and genetic-environmental causes of decisions when thinking about social, political, and moral systems.
So if you are interested, check out the details at CFII and consider taking the course (even if only to lurk, and just read what gets discussed and not participate, which is fine). The course begins on May 1 (which is next Wednesday).

PEMBROKE, Mass. — You need to hire a staffer, but how do you go about the process so that you employ a good person who will stay for a bunch of years? To get someone who will do the work, be attentive to customers, and get along with you? It's not easy, as most of you can probably attest.
How many times has someone looked good on paper and been hired, only to begin coming in late, calling in sick, and not performing up to standard? The individual has to be terminated, and you are back to where you started. This has happened too many times, I'm sure.
As a starter, set up an interview; never hire off the application or from recommendation. You want to meet the person, size him/her up, and get a feel for your relationship. It could be that the individual is perfectly competent and understands the business but rubs you the wrong way (he is a know-it-all or a chronic complainer, for example). That dynamic wouldn't work out.
Having said that, look over the application and ask questions. Why did you only last a year and a half in your last job? Why did you move from industry to industry, and never stick in one field? What was the reason for your recent termination? Why didn't you graduate high school? What exactly did you do in your last job?
On paper, what you would like to see is steadiness, someone who has held a few jobs of some duration. That means the person was steady, stable, and did a good enough job that the boss was satisfied. What you don't want to see is a candidate with a checkered work history.
Keep the questions coming. What do you expect this job to be like? Do you have any mechanical aptitude? What is your personal life like? What are your obligations to family members? What is your transportation situation?
The point of your questions is to get the individual to talk, which then gives you an opportunity to evaluate. Now, you have to ask yourself some questions: Is this candidate steady enough, and stable enough? Does she need a job or is she only casting about? Is this job right for her, or is it just something she will do for a few months and then move on as soon as she finds something more appropriate?
Can I see this person working for me for a long time? Does she have the kind of personality where I can mold her into a company person, or is there friction already building? Does this candidate have a chip on her shoulder? Is she mentally stable?
Next, ask your candidate a series of prepared questions: What is your best strength? What is your worst weakness? What type of people do you like to work for? What type of people rub you the wrong way? Why is it important to be at work on time? Why should one never call in sick? The purpose of these questions is to pin down the candidate's work habits.
Now it's time to explore the hypothetical. If a machine broke down and the customer started to yell at you, how would you handle it? If it was snowing, and you couldn't get your car shoveled out to drive to work, how would you proceed? What would you do if the boss asked you, at the last minute, to work overtime?
If the boss yelled at you for a mistake you made, and you feel you didn't deserve it, how would you react? If you weren't getting along with your shift replacement, what would you do to change the situation? If you promised a customer his order at a certain time and then see later that it will not be ready, what would you do?
The purpose of these concrete examples is to calibrate how well the candidate thinks on her feet. Can she make sensible decisions quickly? Also, it shows the candidate what's in store.
Ask the individual if she has any questions, then answer her concerns frankly. If you are dishonest or deceptive, it will come out. For instance, if she asks about opportunity for promotion and you operate just one attended Laundromat, the chance for promotion is not high. You can offer her a stable position, and she must realize that. Otherwise, a year later, she will want to move out of her slot, and there will be nowhere to go. The way you answer might be her opportunity to determine if she wants to work for you or not.
Look the candidate in the eye. See that she makes eye contact. Continue to stare. Perhaps you will see something—a desire to work, a need for a break, a yearning for steady work. Or perhaps your stare will get the individual to say something, anything that might help or hurt her case. Once I did this, and the candidate blurted out, "Of course, I must check with my husband and see if he approves," which cancelled everything she had said and made me realize that she didn't really want the job.
Always check one or two references. They could be the candidate's friends and offer bland platitudes, but they might say something insightful. Once, I got a former employer to admit he fired the candidate because she stole money. That did not go down well in my evaluation. Still, don't automatically accept everything you hear.
Never decide on the spot; think about the candidate(s) overnight. Review in your mind what she said. Peruse her application. Note the reference comments. Sleep on it. Then go with your gut feeling. Hopefully, you'll get it right.
There are many ways to hire staffers. Some interviewers talk about themselves and their positions, but I think that forcing the interviewee to discuss herself or himself is a better way to get a sense of who they are and what they can bring to your business.

5 minutes after I turn on my PC the onboard graphics card is usually over 80° celsius and then crashes (random colors on screen, only way to get out is to just plug out the pc).
- I haven't installed any new drivers or added/changed hardware recently
- Everything went fine until yesterday
What should I do next? Do I have to buy a new mainboard right now?
There is no fan on the onboard graphics card, only a heatsink.

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2009 Article IV Consultation with the Slovak RepublicPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 09/90
July 28, 2009
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case. The staff report (use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this pdf file) for the 2009 Article IV Consultation with the Slovak Republic is also available.
On July 20, 2009, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV Consultation with the Slovak Republic.1
Following a period of rapid growth, economic activity tumbled in the first half of 2009 as a result of the global crisis. Strong economic fundamentals and a sound financial sector boosted economic growth in 2004–08, and shielded the economy from the global financial crisis until recently, while facilitating successful euro adoption at the beginning of 2009. However, the country is highly dependent on external economic developments, and the pronounced economic weakening in the euro area caused a sharp drop in output in the first quarter. The economy is projected to shrink by about 5 percent this year, and to return to growth on the order of 2 percent in 2010. Reflecting the broad economic downturn, the unemployment rate is projected to increase to more than 12 percent by end-2009, and remain high through 2010.
The fiscal position is weakening rapidly because of revenue underperformance. The shortfall in tax revenues and social security contributions deepened in the first half of the year, and is projected to reach about 2 percent of GDP for the year as a whole. Government spending, on the other hand, has been kept in line with budget plans. A package of stimulus measures was offset by reallocation and rationalization of spending elsewhere. Overall, the general government deficit is forecast to widen to about 5 percent of GDP, up from 2¼ percent in 2008.
Slovakia's banks have so far withstood the global crisis relatively well. Reflecting the sector's focus on traditional domestic banking activities, banks have avoided sub-prime, structured products, and foreign currency denominated lending. They are currently well capitalized, liquid, properly provisioned and rely mainly on domestic retail deposits. Nonetheless, strains from the crisis are manifest: profits in the first half of 2009 are down sharply compared with the same period last year, and the share of non-performing loans is on the rise. Looking ahead, pressures on banks are expected to intensify in the second half of the year as an increasing number of borrowers will face financial difficulties.
Banks and the supervisor, the National Bank of Slovakia (NBS), have been preparing for further strains. Banks have tightened lending requirements, limited dividend payouts, raised capital and increased provisions. The supervisor pro-actively introduced a series of measures, including steps to safeguard domestic liquidity, when the global crisis hit Europe in the fall of 2008, and has stepped up the scope and frequency of bank monitoring. Cross-border supervisory coordination also has been strengthened.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors noted that Slovakia's strong economic and policy fundamentals have contributed to rapid growth in recent years and successful euro adoption in the beginning of 2009. However, the global economic slump has led to a sharp contraction in the first quarter of the year and continues to deeply affect the Slovak economy. Directors agreed that the main challenge facing Slovak policymakers is to support domestic demand in the short run, while preserving and further strengthening the country's strong economic foundations over the medium term.
Directors considered fiscal policy to be appropriately accommodating in 2009. Freely operating automatic stabilizers and a contained stimulus package, financed by spending reallocations, will help support economic activity without hurting confidence. Directors welcomed the authorities' intention to accelerate the utilization of EU funds, and, in this context, underscored the importance of improving investment planning and implementation and absorption capacity. They also looked forward to the development of a proper legal, monitoring, and reporting framework to underpin the government's plans for Public-Private Partnerships.
Directors encouraged the authorities to formulate and announce a credible medium-term fiscal consolidation strategy, aimed at bringing down the general government deficit to within the Maastricht norm in a timely manner. They called on the authorities to move ahead with already identified consolidation measures, and observed that sustainable deficit reduction would require additional expenditure savings as well as revenue enhancing measures, including some tax increases. To preserve long-term sustainable public finances, they further recommended consideration of binding expenditure rules and moving forward with pension reform.
Directors noted with satisfaction that Slovakia's banks have withstood the global crisis relatively well. They commended the pro-active response by the supervisory authorities when the global crisis hit Europe, which has helped shore up confidence and stability. Continued vigilance will nevertheless be required, along with sustained efforts to strengthen risk monitoring and management. In particular, loan losses are expected to intensify as the impact of the recession deepens. Directors were encouraged by results from recent stress tests showing that it would take very severe shocks to push capital and liquidity positions into danger zones.
Directors emphasized that external competitiveness will require sustained structural reforms and wage discipline. While standard indicators of competitiveness do not raise immediate concerns, continued close attention is warranted. Directors welcomed recent tripartite wage agreements aimed at keeping real wage growth in line with productivity growth. Such wage moderation will help Slovakia remain competitive, in combination with productivity-enhancing reforms. In this regard, Directors recommended further steps to improve the business environment and to strengthen education and human capital formation.

small residential solar power system24
short video describing a small solar power system that i set up at my house. it consists of twelve 1 amp solar panels (15 watts each for a total of 180 watts of power – per hour). i use it to run all lights (CFL's), fans, tv's, and stereos in the house. also the microwave, coffee maker, blender, can opener, sandwich grill, toaster, vacuum, computer and anything else i can think of. run time for lights/fans only is approx 8 hours. add in vacuuming, microwaving or toaster along with lights, tv and the fans and the run time is reduced to 4-5 hours a day. i bought solar panels, inverter (1000 watt) and killowatt meter at Harbor Freight tools, the batteries (deep cycle) from walmart and the battery cables from checker auto. total cost was about 00 to 00 For the latest including EXTRA PICS and INFO. – Click on the (picassa photo gallery) "WEBSITE LINK" from my youtube channel page.

LFP 180 Portable Lithium Battery Power System0
www.PortableSolarPower.Biz Pictured is a pair of 12 volt LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) portable battery power packs that can be used to store and deliver power anywhere and anytime power is needed to power electric equipment. A DC to AC inverter can also be used with the portable battery modules to turn the 12v battery power into 120v or 240v AC power up to 2000W. Let us know what your needs are and we can help provide quality inverter upon request. The LiFePo4 / LFP / Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries provide superior performance when compared to the old Deep Cycle Lead Acid Batteries or AGM batteries because they are 60% lighter in weight which drastically reduces the weight of the LFP 180 Battery Modules. The LFP 180 battery module weighs 75 pounds as you see it pictured here. A comparable Deep Cycle battery of the same capacity weighs in at about 160 pounds for just the battery alone. The LFP 180 battery module can be moved and rolled around on its wheels easily by most average sized people.

What would have been: Wednesday at New Orleans
(As the NBA endures the lockout, only now are the actual losses of games becoming real. To that end, we will offer a look on each scheduled game day of what would have been in play for the Miami Heat had they actually been playing.)
The schedule: The Heat were scheduled to play Wednesday at 8 p.m. at New Orleans Arena against the New Orleans Hornets.
The expected hype: You have to go back to 2005 to find the last time the Heat won on the Hornets' home court. Of course a lot of that has to do with Chris Paul and the Heat's deficiencies at point guard. Last season, center Emeka Okafor was dominant against the Heat in the teams' meeting in New Orleans, shooting 12 of 13 from the field and grabbing 13 rebounds in a 96-93 Hornets victory. Paul had 19 assists in that game to offset 28 points and 10 rebounds from Dwyane Wade.
The expected result: It's difficult to tell what to make of the Hornets. Not only does the NBA continue to operate the franchise in the vacuum of an owner, but David West opted for free agency in June, creating doubt about the depth of talent, with little of quality in place beyond Paul and Okafor. Still, this would have been the second night of a back-to-back set for the Heat after a Tuesday home game against the Utah Jazz. With the Hornets strongest at the Heat's positions of weakness, figure it would have been a game that went to the wire.
The expected chances of applying makeup: Interconference games are likely the first to go in any revised, shortened schedule. However, because of the proximity of New Orleans, a trip there still could be possible for the Heat in a revised schedule.
Your unrealized expectations:

Obtaining Damage Awards from Uninsured Drivers
If you are injured in a car crash that is someone else's fault, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against the other driver. This allows you to collect compensation to pay for medical expenses, lost wages, repair or replacement of your car, and other accident-related costs. If your lawsuit is successful, the driver's automobile insurer will pay most or all of the money you win. But what happens if the other driver is uninsured or under-insured?
Uninsured & Under-Insured Motorist Coverage
If your automobile insurance policy is like most policies, you may have purchased uninsured and under-insured motorist coverage when you bought your car insurance. This coverage pays you if:
- You're in an accident that was another driver's fault
- You incur expenses as a result of the accident, such as injuries or damage to your car
- The other driver doesn't have any car insurance or doesn't have enough insurance to cover your expenses
Uninsured/under-insured motorist coverage also pays out if you're in an accident caused by a hit and run motorist who leaves the scene before you can exchange insurance information.
Still Need to Sue
Uninsured/under-insured motorist coverage sounds straightforward. But even if you know that the other driver is uninsured or under-insured, state law and your automobile insurance policy may still require you to file a personal injury lawsuit against the other driver.
Once a verdict is reached, your insurance company will pay the claim. (If the other driver is under-insured, then that policy will pay out to its maximum limit before your auto insurance company pays the balance.)
Visit LawyerLocator for more information about automobile accidents or to hire a personal injury lawyer to handle your under-insured or uninsured accident claim.

Whether you have had a minor accident or have been seriously injured due to the negligence of another, injuries sustained from auto accidents can be difficult to overcome. The insurance companies have their own lawyers on staff to defend their cases. Their approach is often to take the case to trial, rather than offer you fair compensation for your case. They try this approach because they know that many of the auto accident law firms are settlement factories and do not want to take your case to trial. Mr. Murnane and our Maryland auto accident lawyers have tried countless cases over 28 years practicing in Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County, Annapolis, Baltimore and throughout the State of Maryland. We want to assure your maximum recovery by being at all times thoroughly prepared to enter the trial arena. Having earned a reputation as aggressive trial lawyers, we obtain maximum settlement offers from the respect we have earned from insurance companies.
The emotional and financial harm resulting from devastating injury caused by an automobile accident can be frightening and lifestyle altering. Insurance companies are not "on your side" and you are not "in good hands" when attempting to tackle these multi-million dollar companies alone. We will provide the experience and professional expertise necessary to ease the pain and burden of obtaining full recovery. Getting your car repaired or replaced, a rental car, your medical needs and bills satisfied, loss of income restored, and monetary compensation for pain, suffering, disfigurement, physical impairment and lifestyle alteration is our responsibility. We look forward to meeting these challenges on a daily basis.
Whether you are the victim of catastrophic injury resulting in death, loss of limb, permanent disability or disfigurement, or the nagging effects of sprains and strains, the processing and pursuit of a fair recovery is tedious, time consuming and frustrating. Mr. Murnane and our trained auto accident lawyers and legal assistants will handle the complex and seemingly never ending task of processing your claims, completing all necessary paperwork for payment of your bills, recovery for lost income and monies for pain and suffering. We handle your first-party, personal injury protection ("PIP") claims free of charge! Likewise, we work out and resolve your health insurance companies' liens without collecting any fee from you. Sometimes, obtaining maximum recovery from the person at-fault is not enough. Pursuit of compromise from all involved is our quest in order to get the best possible net results for our clients.
For more information about what Mr. Murnane can do for you. Please visit his accident website at www.HalMurnane.com, call 410 761 6800 or fill out his Auto Accident form and a member of our staff will get in touch
with you.

Actually I am an ob/gyn!!! But that shoudn't matter. You shoudn't be rude to others. You're entitled to your opinion. But that doesn't make it right to discount others! Obviously you've had trouble getting pregnant at some point and you're taking your anger out on others. I have no problem with women who want to use OPKs. Just like you should have no problem with someone suggesting to have frequent sex. Why on earth would my post have made you choose to write such a rude and inflammatory post? It's not like I said something that was untrue. Feel free to call a poster ignorant if they tell a woman shell get pregnant by eating red smarties and standing on her head. But as what I said is entirely plausible, you never should have reacted that way. We're all on this posts as women trying to help one another. And it shouldn't actually matter that I'm an ob/gyn. You shouldn't trsat anyone that way. You need to find a way to rid yourself of this toxic anger. I wish you peace and love.posted 01/29/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Well din654, I was between ages 34-39 when I had my kids so didn't really think of myself as a breeder. Plus my job is looking after pregnant women! So I'm giving GOOD advice to women on how to get pregnant more quickly. So having frequent sex will increase the odds of getting pregnant by always having sperm around when the egg ovulates. I know how long it takes most couples to conceive! And i think people get so caught up with "the day" of ovulation that they dont cast the net wide enough You are the ignorant one for not recognizing the valid points of my post! Not to mention rude for dissing someone for trying to help posters! NOTHING about what I said is in any way ignorant! Glad you consider yourself a know it all!posted 01/27/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
If you have fertility problems, then ignore the complete ignorance of the previous poster who "got pregnant THREE times the FIRST month of trying." Women who are "breeders" (those who conceive multiple times and during the very first attempt) are completely clueless as to how lengthy the AVERAGE TTC process really lasts. If you do happen to experience difficulty getting pregnant, then begin testing with OPKs on cycle day (CD) 13.posted 01/27/2012 by din654
You're better off saving your money and instead have sex every 2-3 days. I work in an ultrasound department and I can tell you there are a lot of women with regular cycles who end up having their due date changed because the baby's size doesn't match their period dates. Meaning they ovulated earlier or later than their cycles would predict. And sperm live for at least three days and some say longer. So the whole idea is to always have some hanging around waiting for the egg to ovulate. This is exactly what I did and with each of my kids I got pregnant our first month trying! Happy conceiving!posted 01/24/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

As a product of a year long DANA Mentorship, the research of Gayanne Grossman (Dance Wellness Center director and physical therapist in the department of
theatre and dance), Adora Goldovsky '15, and Byungchul Cha (associate professor of mathematics) was accepted by the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science (IADMS) to be presented at the 24th Annual Meeting in Switzerland this October 2014. By studying the measurements of 368 dancers at Muhlenberg College via a retrospective chart review, the findings confirmed Grossman's previous research that showed range of motion for total passive turnout (whole leg turnout measured supine) is larger than standing whole leg turnout measured on rotational disks. In addition, the study investigated whether tight iliotibial bands alter turnout measurements. Greater than 75% of all the dancers measured were found to have tight iliotibial bands and turnout measurements were not effected.

A quick Intermezzo before I get to "The Unbearable Lightness of Being Stateless". A kind of update to bring other names, places, and faces to my narrative. The magic of number three, a name, a place, and a face.
Name: Montoya
I have been rambling about how CMT applies horizontal scaling within a chip, and how it eliminates memory sprawl in servers and network elements, well, one of the emerging platforms for such server and network element deployments is ATCA, and it is only natural to put UltraSPARC T1 in an ATCA blade. So we did. The internal code name is Montoya. Now we can do horizontal scaling within the processor, and extend it to the ATCA packet switched interconnect at the shelf or even rack level. 32 threads per Montoya, that means 384 threads per shelf. Some of the ATCA products are already announced and shipping. Montoya was kind of previewed around April at the CTIA show in Vegas, but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, so I cannot post a Montoya picture yet.
Well, I will go out on a limb and show you a Montoya picture:
This is Montoya the place. Picture taken last December. Montoya is a small surfer town on the Atlantic South. Waves, cool winds, deserted most of the year but packed with people in January, reachable by car through a single and busy undulating bridge. In engineering lingo Montoya the place is high throughput, bursty, and I/O saturated. A great place for your next vacation. [Note to boss, take the Montoya team to Montoya the place for the Montoya the blade RR/GA celebration.]
Now A face. You were expecting a Montoya face. Wrong. The face is Ashley.
Thought Ashley or Ariel were female names? Wrong again. This is Ashley's pantomimical explanation of a stateless domain moving from "here" to "there", where "here" is around Ashley's solar plexus and "there" is around his right shoulder. So what? Anything worth moving is always moved from here to there or viceversa, but the beauty of Ashley's stateless domains is that they can be moved at all. Ashley's picture was taken in Santa Clara at the Multicore Expo in March, when part of the OpenSPARC community came physically together for the first time to talk about these multicore processor trends. Multicore Expo had the familiar charm of old and small Interops. One could clearly see two distinct themes, low power multicores applied to embedded devices where some of the cores are specialized, and server centric multicore architectures (with Sun's UltraSPARC T1 being the first such incarnation), where the cores are identical although the usage models may be asymmetrical...
Rather than a tired racconto of the Multicore Expo material, here is a link for the CMT presentations, including Ashley's preview of things to come around CMT virtualization. There are other sessions I really enjoyed, but I won't taint you with my opinions, just read them and let's compare notes through my comments section. My session was sandwiched between Teja presenting how to use their tools for FPGA based packet processing, and Intel showing how you can use a dual core Xeon for packet processing. Good stuff, but if you ask me you don't have to use FPGAs anymore for fast packet processing, and you probably don't want to use Xeons for fast packet processing. Why? As I said, ask me. Today is just an Intermezzo about a name, a place, and a face.
And here is an update, a link for Montoya the blade:

There was a series of tornadoes occurring June 16th , 17th, and 18th of 2014, that spawned a number of powerful and deadly tornadoes. Most notably where twin powerful tornadoes, one of which struck the town of Pilger, Nebraska, killing two people and critically injuring dozens (See main picture). Another strong tornado hit Wessington Springs, South Dakota on June 18th, and fortunately due to early warning systems, and possibly less intensity, the tornado only injured two people.
What made all three days, the 16th, 17th, and 18th somewhat remarkable is that twin tornadoes occurred within the same supercell storm, nearby, on all three days! (See comparable Radar Scope velocity scans, Courtesy: Tim Marshall) The twin tornadoes on June 16th were the most remarkable of the three days, as they were both very strong tornadoes for a period of time. A number of people have pointed out that multiple tornadoes occurring, in the same cyclic supercell can be fairly common, as the older occluded tornado reaches the end of a lifecycle, and a new tornado forms, yet the environments over the last couple of days have been so primed that multiple tornadoes have coexisted at significant strength.
A cyclonic pair and tornado merger, named the Fujiwhara effect (Named after Dr. Ted Fujita) is presumed by a number of atmospheric scientists to be responsible for these co-existing tornadoes and their mergers. However, there is some technical debate about Fujiwhara as most complementing rotations have clockwise and counter clockwise rotations, and both these tornadoes were cyclonic, not anticyclonic. However, both cyclonic rotations seemed to rotate around a center mass somewhere between each tornado.
Multiple tornadoes are not uncommon in such powerful supercells, as a parent wedge tornado may often have smaller rope or stove pipe tornadoes pulled around the main tornado circulation, and these are referred to as satellite tornadoes. "I personally witnessed this on the Bowdle EF4 tornado," comments one tornado tracker. Also, it is common for a cyclic supercell to spawn multiple tornadoes along the course of the storm, yet more often, an older tornado rotation will get choked off by rain cooled air before a new tornado will form, but not always, as the last several days have demonstrated.
What is a bit more uncommon is for multiple wedge-like tornadoes to be present at the same time in the same supercell storm, and at such high intensity, as was present on June 16th, 2014 in Pilger, Nebraska (See main picture, courtesy of Basehunter's Chasing and Scott Peake).
Certified and trained storm trackers can form an important link in the communication chain when multiple tornadoes, or multi-vortex tornadoes occur at the same time, as Doppler, even Dual Doppler scans at a considerable distance cannot always predict the exact location of multiple co-located tornadoes. Time is of the essence in early warnings and threat detection, when such storms approach populated areas.
Simultaneous tornadoes can also pose a significant hazard to storm trackers, first responders, and law enforcement, as it becomes easier to be blind sided by a second tornado, especially when a large tornado is on the ground, and is the most dominant focus of attention. Reed Timmer, veteran extreme storm chaser said, "in a cyclic supercell, you always have to watch your back, because an old occluded tornado can still be there, on the ground and deadly, and more likely rain wrapped when a new powerful tornado cycles into view." It is usually the one you cannot or don't see that can get you.
Possibly a day will come when storm spotters (needed to ground truth actual tornadoes) are not necessary, with advances in meteorological technology, and when gaps in Doppler scanning fields are filled, but that day is likely many years in the future. Presently, first responders; such as police and fire rescue units do not have onboard computers to scan local storm environments for such emerging threats, are not trained to use such equipment, and are focused on other critical missions. There are minutes of delay from communication through Dual Doppler scans and transferring such information into the field to first responders, and rapid emergence of powerful tornadoes (such as the Joplin EF5 that occurred in less than a minute, and became a milewide, after becoming surface-based).
For professional storm spotters, the task of being situationally aware in every direction is difficult, but a matter of self preservation, and such seasoned wisdom is the ability to accurately and rapidly identify emerging threats to communities, and have the ability to communicate those threats to authorities in time, while staying safe.
One professional storm spotter warns onlookers, "If you see my intercept vehicle in a dangerous storm, don't follow me."

watch the credits and you´ll know it ;)
song @ 5.28?*
song @ 4.28?
Juste impressive !!
finally back with AC is well worth 5 / 5 ( I watch too quickly the first time)
Cool Video, keep on going like this :D
Very nice vid, but the music is a bit boring after the intro. If I find that is a really good jobs.
FIS Pooowwaaaa ;)
wow dex now i wish i sent u better replays lol any i think this is amazing great work :D
nice Video Dex, you have my Feeback already in the DS-Forum.

cool stunts ^^
5/5 ofc :)
good job!
Video editing is just awesome!
stunts are nice too
but the music is a bit boring after the intro =P
wow nice
i realy like the introduction of the drivers!
music is ok but sometimes just doesnt fit good.
pwn those f***ing cam 2 racing vids!
Waaah, the stunts and tricks are just so ++++++++ (i don't know how say ^^) but (the only BUT) the music are ... space, i think you could use a music more dynamic. So, a 4.888889/5 for me.
Great job!
awesome movie :D nuthin' else to say :P
btw :O why have ppl changed the signs on my rally's on 07:12 and 10:08?? xD
really nice video. stunts and freestyle was skilled:) but toooooooooo long
Good video, lots of great and creative ideas for editing and stunts- some small flaws like color / contrast.
Okay BamX comment is too short^^ my version:
+Intro (AMAZING!!)
+Stunts, Skins and graphics
And now:
A big "-" for your music choice. The music doesn't fit to the video. Hip Hop or Rock would be great, but with that music you made the video more boring than it is >.< sorry :(
-Length : 14:27 sounds not so attractive; I saw how much work you did, but without intro and outro your video is nothing special at all...
To say it short: Nice video idea, just selled not so good..
I give you 4* for your intro and stunts!
Nice intro.
But then it gets very boring sry.
