The website Nintendoeverything.com has announced a new game release on the Wii U Virtual Console. That game is "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past," and it was released on January 30, 2014. The game is available for download at the price of $7.99, or $1.50 if the player already owns the game on the original Wii console and transfers their data.
"The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" was originally released on the Super Nintendo on April 13, 1992. The game is a top-down adventure title. This means that the player controls Link from a sort of bird's eye perspective, looking down on the map from above. The game plays very similarly to the original "Legend of Zelda" on the NES, but with many improvements. The player can control Link in 8 directions of movement as opposed to 4, and the player has a number of new items at their disposal. The game's story is also much more extensive, and is no longer told almost exclusively through the game's manual and intro.
Many gamers still consider this game to be the best of the "2-Dimensional" Zelda titles. The game is still highly praised for its lengthy adventure, emphasis on exploration, and fluid gameplay. This game also recently received an indirect sequel on the Nintendo 3DS, titled "The Legend of Zelda: A Link between Worlds." However, the games are still set hundreds of years apart in the Zelda timeline.

Pop juggernauts Fun. took over the airwaves back in 2012 with earworm anthems like "We Are Young" and "Some Nights", and as frontman Nate Ruess continues to produce popular music after the highly successful Some Nights, fans may be eagerly awaiting new music from the band. Fortunately, a fellow Fun. member, Jack Antonoff, has satiated this absence and has proven that Fun. is composed of pop single machines that just can't seem to miss.
Indie pop's latest sensation may very well be Bleachers, featuring Jack Antonoff of Fun., as the band's infectious single, "I Wanna Get Better", has grown in popularity as a pleasant, energetic summer hit. The band has embarked on a national tour and will be stopping by St. Andrews Hall in downtown Detroit next Tuesday, August 26th. Tickets are still available, and if you have not yet checked out their debut album, Strange Desire, you can purchase it here and bask its nostalgic 80's pop glow – it might just hold you over until the next Fun. release.
If you're hanging around Detroit before the concert or simply itching for a small intimate show, you can catch Bleachers perform a free acoustic set at MGM Grand's TAP Sports Bar (1777 3rd Avenue) at 1:30pm on the day of the concert. All ages are welcome, but be sure to arrive early – TAP's dining rooms hold approximately 100 and 300 people each, and the place will fill up quick. Grab some grub, sip on one of TAP's 50+ beers, and enjoy the acoustic styling of Jack Antonoff and company in this 89X sponsored event.

We have a few friends on our gift list this year who are boycotting social media. We'll miss their witty status updates, but know we'll knock their present out of the park with the Frankie Magazine 2012 Journal ($35). It's organized by days and gives the journaler a few lines to jot down their thoughts. No one will be writing novels in it, but they will be able to practice summing up the events in their life in a few sentences or less. It's Facebook, but you know, in an actual book.

Season tickets for the University of Oregon's 2013 home football schedule will go on sale to the general public beginning at 9 a.m. Monday, June 17. Season tickets may be purchased online through the school's official athletics department website, www.goducks.com/tickets, by phone (541-346-4461 or 1-800-WEBFOOT) or in person at the Moshofsky Center Athletic Ticket Office.
Both Regular Reserved Seats and End Zone Reserved Seats for the Ducks' seven-game regular-season home schedule are expected to be available, ranging from $411 to $504, with tickets available in both non-donation and donated-required sections.
Season-ticket packages started at just $333 and during season ticket-holder reallocation, these tickets have been sold.
The season-ticket pricing represents a savings of approximately 15-30 percent compared with the purchase of single-game tickets for all seven home games. The cost of a single-game reserved seat purchased on a game-by-game basis for all seven home contests would be $594.
The Ducks open the season at home Aug. 31 vs. Nicholls (LA) State, with the schedule including a first-time visit from SEC foe Tennessee (Sept. 14), Pac-12 North Division rivals California (Sept. 28), Washington State (Oct. 19) and Oregon State (Nov. 29), as well as conference South Division contender UCLA (Oct. 26) and Utah (Nov. 16).
Games times for three of Oregon's seven home games have been set for 1 p.m. PDT for the Nicholls State game, 12:30 p.m. for Tennessee and 4 p.m. for Oregon State.
The majority of available seats that do not require an additional per-seat contribution are located in Sections 1-3, 17-25, and 37-40. A seating diagram of Autzen Stadium is available online on the Ducks' official website, http://www.goducks.com/fls/500/pages/ticketoffice/fb/Autzen.2013.jpg?DB_OEM_ID=500&hq_e=el&hq_m=484096&hq_l=14&hq_v=820725514b. End Zone Reserved seating is located in Sections 20, 21 and 22 in the east end zone, and Sections 40, 1 and 2 in the west end zone.
The Ducks enter the year boasting a string of 89 consecutive sellouts after accumulating three consecutive 12-win seasons.

College Hockey:A video worth your eight minutes
Maybe you've seen this YouTube video already this week, but if you haven't, it's worth eight minutes of your time, even amid the NCAA tournament madness we're about to enjoy.
Even if you don't cheer for Western Michigan, even if you don't have a stake in the Broncos' stay in the NCAA tournament, it's good to know that there are good people in our sport.
This is the story of the Broncos' interaction with the Schripsema family, the youngest of which is battling leukemia.
The following is a self-policing forum for discussing views on this story. Comments that are derogatory, make personal attacks, are abusive, or contain profanity or racism will be removed at our discretion. USCHO.com is not responsible for comments posted by users.

Please also keep "woofing," taunting, and otherwise unsportsmanlike behavior to a minimum. Your posts will more than likely be deleted, and worse yet, you reflect badly on yourself, your favorite team and your conference.

In Your Dreams
At the Detroit Institute of Arts
The DIA is currently hosting a fascinating exhibit titled: In Your Dreams. The unusual collection consists of 120 prints of European and American origin. Most of the images are done in black and white. The intricacies of the images are astounding. Scary and weird is how the images can be best described, very appropriate for the Halloween season.
Five Hundred years of Imaginary Prints are represented in this unique exposition. They include some of the most frightening and eerie things you can imagine. Some prints are from the DIA collection and some are done by artists from other parts of the world. The Artists include Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso, Albrecht Durer, Salvador Dali and Marc Chagall.
The artists' imaginations run wild in these scary renderings. The Four Horsemen by Durer represent conquest, war, famine, and death. A Way of Flying by Francisco Goya c.1816 is done with etching and dry point. The details are amazing. Giovanni Battista Piranesi has a large collection of prison like drawings as illustrated in the Drawbridge.
The museum provides magnifying glasses so that the fine points of the works can be seen clearly.
The exhibit will be on display from September 8, 2010 through January 2, 2011. Museum hours are 10 a.m-4 p.m. Wednesday and Thursdays, 10 a.m. -10 p.m. on Fridays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays and Saturdays

College Hockey:Beavers Edge Mavericks
Closely Contested Game a Precursor to Future Conference Rivalry
OMAHA, Neb. — Sixth-ranked Bemidji States shot at earning a No. 1 regional seed in the NCAA Tournament remained very much alive on Friday as the Beavers downed future WCHA rival Nebraska-Omaha 3-1 at Qwest Center Omaha.
The host Mavericks (now 17-14-6) had plenty to play for as well, having come into this weeks USCHO.com poll at No. 19, thus placing themselves however delicately onto the bubble for postseason play. UNO had gone 7-2-1 in its last 10 games, and after knocking off then-No. 1 Miami on the road last weekend, the Mavericks seemed primed to carry their red-hot play into this weeks important non-conference series.
BSU (22-7-2) rarely looked cowered on Friday, though, and second period goals from forwards Matt Read and Jamie MacQueen proved to be the difference as the Beavers earned their first-ever win over UNO after four failed attempts, the last coming just over seven years ago.
We know (the Mavericks) and how good they are, BSU head coach Tom Serratore said about a UNO team that outshot the Beavers 25-17 on the night. You cant say enough about how we responded, and our guys emptied the tanks tonight.
UNO had almost been scoring for fun recently, averaging over four goals scored per game since Jan. 22, but the Beavers quickness on Friday kept the Mavericks potent offense relatively grounded. Whats more, BSUs collective ability to burst down both ends of the ice also benefited the Beavers offense in the game, as well.
Reads 17th goal of the season, coming at 2:40 of the second period, came after linemate Jordan George blocked a long — and, it appeared, offside — shot from a UNO defenseman before zooming in the opposite direction on a 2-on-1 rush with Read.
As George barreled deep into the UNO zone, he fed a cross-ice pass to Read, who then scored past UNO goaltender Jeremie Dupont from just outside the goalmouth to double the College Hockey America regular season champions lead.
MacQueen then appeared to put the game on ice with six minutes left in Fridays middle frame, skating uncontested into the slot in the UNO zone before beating Dupont with a vicious wrist shot that rang the inside of the nets frame before crossing the goal line.
That was the difference in the game, when he put that away, UNO head coach Dean Blais said about MacQueens eighth goal of the season. We were, I thought, outplaying them and outshooting them, and then we were down 2-0.
They didnt give us a whole lot, but we didnt give up a whole lot, either. Look at the shot chart from the second period, and they scored on both chances. They were opportunistic, and we werent.
Rich Purslow pulled a goal back for UNO 1:29 into the third period with an inch-perfect shot from the left point that found its way past BSU goaltender Dan Bakala. Purslows 13th goal of the campaign wasnt enough, however, and the Beavers senior forward Tyler Lehrke put the game away with a long-range empty-net goal with 28 seconds left on the clock.
Serratore wasnt short on general praise for his team following its victory on Friday, but he knew that his Beavers will have to step up their game if they want to sweep the weekend series when the two teams meet again on Saturday in Omaha.
UNO obviously had a territorial advantage in this game, and we dont want that to carry over into tomorrow, Serratore said. But we just have to be ready to respond again tomorrow. This is college hockey, and at this time of year, you have to treat every game like its a game seven in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

As you might have guessed by the image, rain is going to be an underlying theme during the playoffs.
Last night, Harrisburg beat writer Geoff Morrow reported a story about how the the forecast of heavy rain, coupled with the the proximity of the Susquehannah River and the location of Metrobank Park (i.e. on an island in said river) could force the rearrangement* of the Eastern League Divisional Series.
*Could be worse. The Pittsfield Colonials, Hagerstown manager Brian Daubach's previous ballclub, will be playing ALL its games on the road.
UPDATE: As predicted/feared, the Harrisburg Senators and Richmond Squirrels have postponed their series until Friday, shifting Games One & Two to Friday and Saturday, with Games Three, Four and Five (if necessary). H/T to Max Power to bringing this to our attention, and I strong encourage folks to read his Senators vs. Flying Squirrels Series Preview.
The forecast for Frederick isn't any better: 1-2″ of heavy rain today with a chance of rain in the hourly forecast that won't fall below 50% until 11. On Friday night. Rearranging the series simply isn't an option given the forecast for Woodbridge is nearly identical. It's also my understanding that the Potomac field there doesn't drain very well.
Finally, the Auburn Doubledays took on the Vermont Lake Monsters in Burlington, VT last night — located on higher ground than the folks in the Winooski River Valley to the east — but were stifled by 32nd-round pick Drew Garnier, who allowed just one run on two hits and three walks while fanning nine over five innings to lead the Lake Monsters to a 7-1 win.
Auburn starter Nathan Karns was hit hard early, giving up four runs in the bottom of the first, lowlighted when Angel Montilla lost the ball in the, well, low lights at Centennial Field to let in three runs. He would give up six runs total over four innings on seven hits and two walks to take the loss.
Of course, the defensive gaffes aside, the Vermont 'pen struck out seven and gave up just one hit and one walk after Garnier's exit. That's just three hits, four walks on offense for the Doubledays while striking out 16 times. They left on eight and went just 1-for-13 with RISP.
The series shifts to Auburn for today and tomorrow. But wouldn't you know? There's also a forecast for heavy rain over the next two days, and a strong chance of rain on Friday. Stay tuned and stay dry.

Just announced in the last hour, tonight and Thursday's game in Harrisburg is washed out and the playoffs will start in Richmond on Friday night. Games 3 through 5 will return to City Island on Sunday and Monday.
Any word on Harper making an appearance in the playoffs?
As of Sunday, manager Tony Beasley didn't see him as an option for at least the first round as "he's just not there" physically yet.
Thanks Max
just bought two extra days with the rain, here is hoping.
Should be a great series either way.
Ugh – TS Lee is leaving us with a bit of a mess for playoff baseball. If the storm had only continued NNW for another 200 miles after landfall, west-central Texas would have recieved some much needed rainfall, and we might have been spared this quagmire. Oh well.

Are you wondering whether those extra hours of studying on a Friday afternoon really matter? Are you wondering if being the only person in the library on a Saturday night is going to pay off in the long run? Are you wondering if all the effort you are pouring into your law school experience is really worth it? Watch this video and see what you think.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do!
If your study group is not working for you, you must break up with it! Law school is the start of your professional career and you should handle ALL matters with this in mind. The reputation that you earn in law school will follow you into your legal career. So, what do you do when a study group is not effective? We have three recommendations:
1) Take a leadership role: If your study group is ineffective, it could be because there is no structure for the group. Without structure, most groups will fail. Someone must take a leadership role (not a dictator role). Before you "break up" with your study group, try taking a leadership role by asking the group to complete something concrete during the next session. For example, suggest that the group finalize a portion of an outline, complete a sample answer to an essay question, or complete 10 multiple choice questions together in the next session. Having a concrete task to complete may help the group focus and become more effective. You also could create an "agenda" with time limits for certain discussions or activities and hand it out to the group as a suggestion for spending your time together. With some leadership, the group may turn around. Give the group another two or three sessions to adjust to your leadership.
2) Give the study group session a time limit and communicate that time limit to your group: Study group sessions should not be indefinite because the session usually will "suck up" more time than is needed to accomplish effective group learning. The group will end up wasting too much time. You should limit study group time, for the most part, to 2 hours per course and no more than 4 hours in one day. Let your group know that you only have 2 hours to give to the group and stick to the time limit. Eventually, the group will learn that if it does not get started and get "on-task" the session will end (because you will leave) before anything is accomplished.
3) Communicate a respectful and courteous need to study differently: If the two ideas above do not work, then you do need to "break up" with your study group. As difficult as it may be, as a professional, you should communicate your needs to the members of your group in person. When you have this conversation with the group, you should use the word "I" often and focus on your needs and your learning. Do not accuse the group of being a waste of time. Do not "call out" any one member of the group. Do not allege that members are unprepared or unproductive in the group. Simply tell them in a brief manner that you need to study in a different way. Be careful of stating that you "need to study alone" because you may want to join another person or group in the near future. Be honest and be kind, but be firm that you are no longer going to be a part of the study group.
For all three of these recommendations, remember to keep your professional demeanor and do not let the stress of law school cause you to react in a manner that will harm your relationships with your classmates. Good luck!
Why, How, and When to do Practice Questions
Why Should You Do Practice Questions?
Practice questions, both multiple choice and essay questions, are essential to your success in law school because law school exams are different than other tests. Success on law school exams will require much more than memorizing the rules. In fact, writing the correct rules on your essay exams will not earn many points for your grade. Students who know HOW to apply the rules have the most success in law school. The only way to learn HOW to apply the rules is to practice.
Using different problems to test your knowledge is the only way to learn to apply the rules in a variety of ways. Your law school exams will require you to apply what you know to a variety of different problems, often in a in a number of different ways (multiple choice, short-answer, essays). Practicing application of legal rules can come in many forms: doing the problems at the end of the reading assignment, answering true/false questions, answering multiple choice questions, drafting short problems/hypos and the corresponding answers, or writing answers to essay fact patterns.
When Should You Do Practice Questions?
We recommend that you do practice questions on a regular basis throughout the semester. You should do practice questions when your professor is "finished" covering a particular topic. These "new topics" practice questions should occur every other week or so as you go through the semester. Make a set time in your study schedule to cover "new topics" practice questions. Next, set a scheduled time each week to do "review topics" practice questions.
The most effective way to do practice questions is to keep doing them throughout the semester so that you do not forget topics that you cover early on in the semester AND so that you do not leave all of the practice questions for the end of the semester. Waiting until the end of the semester to do practice questions is a fatal mistake. Often practice questions will show you what you do not truly understand. When those areas become clear to you through practice questions early in the semester, you can go through the material again, talk to your classmates, ask questions of the TA, or see your professor to make sure you learn the material. If you wait until the end of the semester – or if you wait until you have "memorized" the material – you may get "lost" as the semester continues or you may run out of time to get your questions answered on all the topics you are missing in your practice questions. So, start early and repeat often! Schedule times for weekly practice questions.
Where Can You Get Practice Questions?
See the Academic Success handout – "Helpful Resources for Practice Questions" – available in the Academic Success suite on the 5th floor.

Apple decision to create a smartphone -- that would be the iPhone 5 -- that boasts a thinner, lighter touch screen contributed to the component shortfall that caused demand to outstrip supply of the iPhone on its debut weekend, according to "Bloomberg" (http://macte.ch/8cGgC).
For the first time Apple is using in-cell screen technology, which combines the display and the touch sensor into a single part, the article adds. The components are made by LG Display and Japan Display.
"This is like the opening weekend for the summer blockbuster movie," Tom Dinges, senior principal analyst at IHS ISuppli told "Bloomberg." "They needed to get a lot of products in the door during a tight window, and these supply constraints that were talked about probably did have some impact."

If you're not a fan of silicone-based primers (They can make some gals break out), you might not want to try NARS Skin Smoothing Face Prep ($30). But if, like Heid Montag, you've never met a silicone molecule you didn't like, baby, you're gonna love it. The balmy formula isn't a primer per se, but resurfaces pores and fine lines with a matte airbrushed finish so your regular makeup will apply more smoothly. If you're into the no-makeup-I-just-have-amazing-skin look, it can also be worn alone.

Marc Jacobs is a rockstar on the runway, but his new Genius Gel Super-Charged Foundation is best left for mortuary beauticians and circus stars. Step right up and get it folks, "Face Cake only $48 per bottle!" No one loves a heavy, matte foundation more than I do, but this liquid makeup is atrocious. Okay, I may be laying it on a bit thick for such a runny foundation.
I have great skin; so I've never been all too disappointed with a foundation because I'm not looking for it to do anything altogether special. I just want a nice photo finish airbrushed look. This foundation grossly failed to do that. Not only did it look terrible but it also had an awful chemical smell. At first I thought the product had gone sour. Apparently that is the product's 'fragrance'. I don't know about you, but personally I do not want a drying fragrance on my face. That is what perfume is for.
I can say only two good things about this product. 1) The bottle is pretty. 2) Their lightest shade, Ivory Light, matched my hard to blend super pale skin tone.
I will continue to support MJ's other ventures, but this foundation is simply subpar.

The Marlins made an unusual decision this week:
They started selling tickets to last Saturday's game.
You see, at that game the opposing pitcher recorded a perfect game (for those of you who don't know baseball, this is rarity, having only occurred 20 times in over 100 years), and the Marlins thought they would capitalize by trying to sell it out. And by out, we mean way out. They made all 65,000 seats available, even though for baseball, its typically only 37,000 max capacity.
What a marketing campaign! I think the Dolphins could jump on this bandwagon, and print season tickets to the undefeated 1972 season and sell them!
I think they averaged around 79,000 for any home game that season, and the capacity was in the neighborhood of 80,000....but why let them stop them? They could probably make the capacity 90,000, and figure that they only sold 50,000 season tickets or so. That's 40,000 possible ticket holders!!!

DeKALB, Ill. - Northern Illinois gymnasts Tanya Rachan and Kim Gotlund have qualified for the NCAA Regional Gymnastics Championships and will represent the Huskies at the Champaign Regional on Saturday, April 7 as the NCAA announced the 2012 NCAA Gymnastics Championship field Monday. The Regional will be held at 4 p.m. (CT) at Assembly Hall on the University of Illinois campus.
After placing second on floor exercise at Saturday's Mid-American Conference Championships with her second consecutive 9.900 score, Rachan was selected as the lone specialist on that event, while Gotlund is one of five individual all-around competitors.
In addition to the NCAA Regional selection, Gotlund was named Monday to the All Mid-American Conference second team. She earned the nod after her fifth-place finish in the all-around competition at the MAC Championships where she put together four solid routines to total a 38.900 for her second highest all-around score of the season. Gotlund is the Huskies' first All-MAC performer since 2009.
By receiving a bid to the NCAA Regionals, Rachan and Gotlund extend the Huskies' streak of consecutive seasons with a regional qualifier to six. NIU will send two individuals to NCAAs for the first time since 2009, when Holly Reichard went as an all-arounder and Jennifer Naughton competed on balance beam. In addition to Rachan and Gotlund, senior Ashley Guerra was selected as the alternate on uneven parallel bars, while junior Natalie Sutter is the alternate to Rachan on floor exercise. Guerra and Sutter will only compete at regionals if the person ahead of them is unable to compete.
"It's always great, especially for me in my first year as a head coach, to have kids step up and get this done," said NIU head coach Sam Morreale. "For them to qualify as individuals is a huge accomplishment because it's not something we set as a goal for the team. So the desire really comes from within to push hard and keep striving to be at the top and be selected individually."
Rachan led the way on the Huskies' strongest event in 2012 - the floor exercise. She earned a 9.900 in each of her last two meets of the season to tie for NIU's fourth highest score on the event all-time and received the first 9.900 or higher on floor exercise since Kristina Campos in 2005. The senior from Lowell, Ind. scored 9.800 or higher on floor 11 times in NIU's 12 meets in 2012 and placed in the top four on the event in each of those 11 meets.
"Tanya's routine is certainly good enough that she can make a run at nationals," Morreale said. "In terms of difficulty, her routine is as difficult as anyone I've seen or that we've competed against. She loves the performing part of it and that's where she shines. She makes it look effortless, and she has gotten better and better each meet."
Gotlund qualifies for regionals in just her second season after battling injuries a year ago. The Wadsworth, Ill. product competed in every event in every meet for NIU and achieved season high scores of 9.800 on vault, 9.725 on bars, 9.775 on beam and 9.850 on floor exercise. Her best all-around score of the season was a 39.000 versus Bowling Green on Feb. 11.
"Kim has had some ups and downs, but she loves to work and it's not always about the accolades for her," Morreale said. "This is a testament to her dedication and determination and hard work. Even though she's banged up and hurting, she doesn't miss a practice and she works through it. I think [qualifying for regionals] is something she can build on for next year and it will really help her confidence and seasoning going into next year."
Morreale was also pleased with Gotlund's recognition as an All-MAC performer and believes her results at the MAC Championship will help her in the upcoming NCAA Regional competition.
"The beauty of that award is it is based on that one day so it is about putting it together on that one day in a high pressure situation," Morreale said. "[Her performance at MACs] will help her going into regionals, it's a confidence builder. She knows she can do it because she's done it."
Six teams, five all-arounders and four specialists (one on each event) were selected for each of the six regionals that will be held throughout the country on April 7.
The top two teams and the top two all-around competitors (who are not on an advancing team) from each regional will receive an automatic berth to the national championships in Duluth, Ga., April 20-22, hosted by the Gwinnett Center and Georgia Tech.
In addition, the event winners at each regional site will advance to the national championships (in that event only) if they are not part of a qualifying team or an all-around qualifier.

Joel Compass has been around the world and back to his hometown of Penge, South London. His music is slowly making its way to the states now and in my opinion, this time next year he will be a household name. An EP entitled The Astronaut was released last year and nothing but positive appreciation has been received.
Now he is about to hit the road for some festivals, continue collaborating with artists like he has with rapper Pusha T and plans on making a major impact in the music industry worldwide. Listen to his latest single Forgive Me available now on iTunes. The kid is going places. Read my interview with the singer and don't miss the Joel Compass express.
Where did you grow up?
Penge, South London.
What music was played in your household as a kid?
Pink Floyd, Maxwell, Aphex Twins, Lemon Jelly, Jamariquai etc
Who are you currently inspired by musically/artistically?
Aphex Twins, Pink Floyd, Drake, Jhene Aiko and Kanye.
When was the first time you sang in front of a crowd?
When I was 15, at a beatbox competition, performing Genuwine - Pony
The Astronaut EP came out last year. Have you been pleased with the feedback you have received so far?
I have only read good reviews on 'Astronaut' so Im definitely pleased with the feedback, theres been a lot of love.
Are you currently touring right now?
No, but I have a live Headline show coming up this month, on April 29th at XOYO London. Im playing a load of festivals this summer to, Wireless, Lovebox, Glastonbury, Bestival and Secret garden.
How did you link up with GOOD Music and Pusha T for his feature on 'Run'?
I just asked my labell if they could find a rapper for Run and they came back with Push, It was crazy because, he hadn't really done and features with anyone from london, but I could relate to the track.
What can you tell us about your debut album?
Its going to be a broad spectrum of sound, that sums up not only what I do as an artist, but as a producer to.
Your soundcloud is currently filled with Remixes to your most popular songs. Where did they all come from? Which have you grown most fond of if you had to choose just one?
We just sent out parts to people we thought were hot and these are what came back, my favourite would have to be Huxley's remix of Fucked Up.
I notice you are well-respected within the music industry. Who are you hoping to collaborate with or are already working with in 2014?
I've already done some stuff we some of the people I really rate, i.e Twigs, Starsmith, Linden Jay etc .. but although I produce my own music, I want to work with a load of producers, from Katraynada to Mr Carmack.
A lot of artists are only concerned with being popular, famous or rich. What are your motives with your music?
If anyone said, 'ah I just love music', they'd be lying, becuase they could just sit at home and make music for the rest of their lives if they wanted to, the music is just one part of this complex career. I was about to go to university and study Medicine, before signing, I've spent years working on certain projects, i.e trying to cure certain illness's and more money will help, all I want is the house that Will Smith lives in, in I am Legend, with the laboratory downstairs so can carry on working, also a huge studio to work with who ever I want to in. Ive never had money and definitely never been famous, those things, are both the aftermath of success.

Paralysis is a life-altering injury that significantly impacts an accident victim's quality of life. Additionally, many catastrophic injuries result in decreased enjoyment of life and lost wages.
At the firm, we understand the serious nature of catastrophic injuries. The firm is also prepared to handle spinal cord injury cases and traumatic brain injury cases.

Unintentional Injury Statistics
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 118,000 people are killed by unintentional injuries every year. In the United States, accidental deaths are the fifth most common cause of death and the leading cause of death for individuals less than 35 years of age. In 2009, more than 24,000 people were killed in accidents involving a fall and almost 35,000 were killed in traffic accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3,092 people were killed by distracted drivers in 2010 and another 416,000 were injured.
At Zinda Law Group, we believe that careless and negligent individuals should be held responsible for their actions.

Deaths and injuries resulting from someone else's carelessness or negligence are never okay.

Have you lost a loved one because another person acted rashly or irresponsibly? We can help. If you're worried about attorneys' fees and other expenses, we want to hear from you.

With the additions of Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran to an already overcrowded outfield, Vernon Wells had become expendable. On Friday, his time as a member of the New York Yankees was over, as the team designated him for assignment after one season in the Bronx.
"Thank you Yankees for the opportunity to be a part of such a storied franchise," Wells said on Twitter on Friday afternoon.
Wells, 35, played in 130 games for the Yankees last season, batting .233 with 11 home runs and 50 runs batted in. Wells had gotten off to a hot start, hitting .300 with six home runs during the season's first month. However, Wells struggled through much of the rest of the season as he was exposed as a liability when asked to play regularly.
Removing Wells from the 40-man roster allows the Yankees to add relief pitcher Matt Thornton, who agreed to terms last month but did not officially sign his contract until Friday.

Narada Michael Walden: The Sun Is Dancing
The Sun Is Dancing
Narada Michael Walden (drums)
Garden of Love Light (Wounded Bird WOU 8199)
Narada Michael Walden (drums),
David Sancious (keyboards), Ray Gomez (guitar), Will Lee (bass).
Composed by Narada Michael Walden.
Recorded: New York, 1977
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
Narada Michael Walden, known as Michael Walden before aligning with the guru Sri Chinmoy, came to public attention through his remarkable stint with John McLaughlin's second Mahavishnu Orchestra. He was a different type of drummer than Billy Cobham, the legendary stick man he replaced. No one had Cobham's power. Walden would be the first to tell you that. But Walden had his own type of power and clean speed that awed drummers as well. Even today, 30 or so years since Walden was an active everyday musician, drummers such as Dennis Chambers see him as a legendary figure on the kit.
"The Sun is Dancing" is dedicated to John McLaughlin. Its opening strains are similar in concept to some of the music on the second Mahavishnu Orchestra's Visions of the Emerald Beyond. Its rotating arpeggios and climbing synthesizer runs create an offering toward the sky. And much like that Mahavishnu album, there are dramatic theme changes. The band goes funk-city for some extended measures. Gomez plays clipped minor-9th chords to register his funkiness. Walden and bassist Lee jump in a pocket as David Sancious, another important but underappreciated fusion player, begins some spaced-out noodling. Sancious then adds some gospel organ. A few more nods to jazz-funk, R&B, gospel and the blues permeate the long ending, culminating in a return to the opening melody. You put all that stuff together and you get a damned good fusion performance.

when I play into lowest difficulty, it is more powerful to use melee weapons than range weapons but in highest difficulty better use range weapons (demonics or shotgun) dealing high damage than of melee weapons(use this weapons if your enemy is near at you).
In mission 4 is quite hard to defeat abyss and only you can do is to fire at him using demonics and use your hinu and jukata if he is going to attack you, when he casts to attack, you can jump and attack him in air dealing multiple damage than of attacking him at the ground. Beware from his tail that will crush the hero with too high damage even on the lowest difficulty.
Rated 0 / 5 stars
its hard as hell the concept is good but there is no reason i should be getting destroyed on the first level on the second level of difficulty and the enemies that explode you should let people know that they do its just no fun either but would be with a lil work
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Reason y i joined newgrounds
Hell easly 1 of THE best games on newgrounds keep up the good work dude
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Amazing game
It a hot game I can't lie about that
But still the first boss is a bit too hard I just barely manage to beat her
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
I managed just fine at first, but then the first level was pumping out three... three enemies with very high hit points, one of them exploding and making taking damage almost mandatory with guns dealing far too little damage. Once I got past that portion, a tougher looking enemy was finishing off my horrible hit points with a massive strike, even on the lowest difficulty.
The music and effects are awesome, but sometimes I load and fall right through the floor, having to get back up. And I never have once started with a full hit point bar. Its a great game, but its too much grinding and its too hard to turn around while inputting them into a keyboard. I've tried a good three times and failed to end the first stage in the lowest difficulty, but its too much even for me to handle. Too much, too soon.
I suggest adding combos that stack more damage and possibly making it easier to sit back and actually shoot the enemies that will explode, and perhaps even adding an attack that includes turning the character around for some handy strategy. Without simply forcing the player to lower their guard long enough to get pummeled by a few attacks, you'd make the game in fact playable as a combo grinder.
Upset? Yes, I am. Because I will never even see the later levels. Probably even if I try.

Welcome to the forum hagenjig...Sounds like there may be none available here in the states..You probably need to search some of the European shooting forums starting with England or Australia since they speak English..The next best thing is to use the google translator if you can find some in other non English language companies..Try CZ to see if they can put you onto some of the across the pond forums WITH their e addresses...Good luck on your search..Come here often and share your knowledge as we do ours...Dave
Does anyone here know of a source for the BRNO ZKM 611 cal 22WMR magazines. I have had one of these for many years. They're a great gun.
The national budget must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work ,instead of living on public assistance.
Things never change.

Mayor of Ariel: Left Driven Crazy by Hate
The left-wing media is being driven crazy by its hate for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, says Ron Nachman, mayor of Ariel.
"They are willing to forget all the ethical norms, just to oust Netanyahu," he charged, speaking to Arutz Sheva. "It is chaos, there's no law, no ethics, everything is kosher, just to oust the Prime Minister and nationalist camp – it's terrible."
The phenomenon reminds him of "the media and journalists who supported Arik Sharon and forgave him everything because of the Disengagement, just like they forgave Yitzchak Rabin everything because of Oslo," he said.
The attempt to bring former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert back into politics after his conviction for breach of trust shows the depths of media hate, he said. He called on Olmert's supporters to stop their efforts to bring him back. "You can't build a country with hate, just like you can't do so with a family or city," he said.
"There's a fervor here motivated by jealousy or hate, and nothing can be built from that," he added. "They will fail, because anyone whose election campaign is based in personal attacks to smear the opponent will eventually fail."
However, Nachman also warned Netanyahu and his supporters not to let polls in his favor make them complacent. "What will determine [the race] is whether everyone will come vote on election day and make a large right-wing bloc opposite the left, which, along with the Arabs, will try to create a large enough bloc to block the right," he said.
"We need to use our brains and intellects, not our emotions," he continued. "To look forward. Our strength is in our unity."

The problem with good SEO is that it's expensive.
The problem with affordable SEO is it's ineffective.
Why is this?
The core activity of effective SEO is content and publishing. 21st century digital marketing is journalism.
The principal in play here is that in order to get the attention of human readers, you must first get the attention of the search engines, and what types of sites do they rank highly?
- Sites with a lot of content.
- Sites with interesting and useful content.
- Sites that are updated often.
- Sites that have been updated for a long time (a minimum of 7 to 12 months).
Ever wonder why no matter what you search for a Wikipedia page shows up in the top search results? What is listed above is why.
So if good SEO is expensive and cheap SEO is ineffective, what is a small business owner to do?
What you've always done. Find a better way.
Can you learn to do your own SEO?
Yes. It's not rocket science. It's work.
Once you know how to do it, what is left is the doing of it.
Please do not misunderstand me.
Someone within your business will need to devote 10 to 20 hours each week to this effort. It is not trivial (which is why effective SEO is expensive).
However, sweat equity conserves cash.
When you need quality leads via SEO marketing, you CAN learn to do it yourself.
What will you learn?
- How to do the necessary prep work (marketing prep as well as website prep).
- What constitutes "quality" content from an SEO perspective (you know what it is from a human perspective).
- How to find ideas for content generation.
- How to establish and following a publishing schedule.
- How to effectively manage outside writers, should you choose to hire outside writers.

I didn't grow up around guns. I was born and raised in Maryland—not exactly a gun-friendly state. It wasn't until I moved out to Utah to go to college that I became interested. A few friends took me out shooting and I became fascinated with guns. I jumped online and began learning everything I could. Over the next couple years I carefully researched which gun would be a good choice for my first one, went to the range and rented over a dozen guns, took my concealed firearm course and bought my first gun. Bringing a gun into a relationship that didn't ever have any talk about firearms was potentially a sticky situation, but we talked through it and worked out her concerns. Once she got pregnant, however, the biggest issues revolved around having guns with kids in the house. In the end, we decided as a family it was better to have the means to protect us with a gun and accepted the responsibility to keep that gun out of the hands of unauthorized individuals. We discussed several ways to make that happen, and in the end it is a person/familial decision, but here are some things to think about if you're in a similar position.
The first and most obvious concern was safety. This is a pretty common concern but has also been covered extensively. Keeping your guns locked and out of reach from kids is the best course. There are many different types of safes and what you decide largely depends on your circumstances and budget. I would avoid most lightweight lock boxes as they are usually not as secure and typically they do not offer fire or water protection. Smaller biometric safes are popular and allow quick access for a self-defense handgun. Keep in mind that most of these smaller safes are not extremely secure against a knowledgeable and determined burglar, but will keep them secure against most people and allow quick access. Simple trigger locks work well but do not keep lock the actual gun so they are accessible. I prefer to be there when my kids are handling guns so I can make sure that they are following proper safety rules. Trigger locks also do not prevent theft.
Beyond access to your firearms, I am a firm believer that you should teach your children about firearms. Allow them to hold them, take them out shooting and teach them how guns operate. Teach them firearm safety rules so they develop good habits. Taking the curiosity out of the guns will help most kids get over the obsession, which should keep them from trying to sneak around and play with them. If you'll let them see your guns whenever they ask there isn't much incentive to do it without you knowing. When and how you do that depends on you and your kids.
Many other issues regarding firearms and children present complicated issues. Toy guns and video games can be difficult decisions for parents. Teaching kids the differences between real and fake can be challenging, but is vital. As your children grow up you have to deal with your kid's friends and how they talk about guns. Recently I had one of my son's friends come over when I was cleaning my guns and started asking questions. It was obvious that he had no knowledge of firearms and they weren't in their home. Different situations like that may arise that you haven't thought about dealing with. How you handle these situations is a family decision. There's no definitive right or wrong answer as each kid is different.
Having guns in the home with children can be dangerous if they are not taught proper firearm safety and if the guns are not properly secured, but in the end I was more comfortable in my ability to keep my kids safe with a gun than to try and protect them without.

It is becoming a mantra over at the Ann Althouse blog.
This post from Professor Althouse captures my question. Where is the transcript?
I wanted to read about Ms Kagan's response to the question from Senator Cronyn about the Tenth Amendment. I had seen a reference to it and then nothing.
On the other hand, there is the case of Senator Hatch asking the nominee if she had written a specific memo and apparently after several follow-ups she gave him: "The document is certainly in my handwriting." At least that is what one commenter reports.
So, where is the transcript.
