Singing group blends island flavor with South FL swag
caines | 6/6/2013, 5:30 a.m.
Pure Pressure is a local hip-hop, R&B group that is set to open for teen heartthrob Bow Wow in Hollywood [FL] later this month [June 22nd]. They were one of the featured artists last weekend during a rally honoring Trayvon Martin. And they have a hit single, I Need U, thats being played regularly in local clubs and is at the top of the charts on both 99 JAMZ and 106.7 WRMA. Its a dream come true for the four-man group whose oldest member is just 21. But according to their choreographer and designated spokesman, Joshua Josh Allen Harris, 19, it took a whole lot more than simply dreaming to get them to this exciting moment in their young lives. We are committed to this and want it as badly as a person needs food or water or air to breathe, he said. Each of us is talented and brings something special to the group, but we practice together and work ten times harder than anyone else. And were gonna push and push until we cant push anymore. Sure we talk about becoming rich and famous but what we really want is for our music to help others we want to reach people and change people. We want to be who folks talk about as the next big group.
Is Pure Pressure the next New Edition?
With a group whose members can not only sing, dance and rap, but are also articulate and handsome, they are already being compared to the likes of New Edition, Boyz II Men and Pretty Ricky. But who is this foursome that met in a Broward garage just two years ago? Besides lead and back up singer Josh, who attended Dillard High and grew up in Pompano Beach, the other members include: lead singer Xavier Xay Taylor, 19, who briefly attended Florida Memorial University, has been singing since he was five and is also a Dillard High grad; backup singer Oshane Shane Francis, 18, a North Miami resident and Miramar High alum; and rap specialist Kyron Spank Gibson, 21, a graduate of Hallandale High who hails from Miami. The group is being groomed by Travis Faison, CEO for GMF Music Group, Inc. and business partner T-DOGG who wrote Pure Pressures rapidly-rising single. Weve had a few others guys that we tried out but we finally narrowed it down to the current four because they had the right chemistry the sound and the energy that we were looking for, said Faison, who is also Spanks father. Pure Pressure hopes to kickoff a college tour in the fall, performing at homecomings, opening for already established acts and doing as many radio interviews as possible. Working so closely with these guys has taught me how to get along with others and to respect their differences, Shane said. When we hit the stage, its exciting and its fun. As for multi-tattooed Spank, his assessment of why the group continues to gain more and more fans was quite simple. We got swag, he said. Check out the group on www.purepressure954.com. Their single is #4 on Miamis Reverbnation. D. Kevin McNeir

• Nonsuppurative peripheral thrombophlebitis is a frequently recognized source of sepsis. Eleven patients cared for on general medical and surgical services had Gram-negative bacillary sepsis on this basis. Ten had isolation of organisms of the Klebsiella-Enterbacter group from the involved peripheral vein. All failed to respond to organism-sensitive antibiotics until the involved vein was excised. After local vein excision, all patients were afebrile within 48 hours and recovered. In seven of the 11 patients, the septic phlebitis source was associated with a standard intravenous needle, and none had cutdown procedures. It is strongly emphasized that this condition is a source of life-threatening sepsis that can be treated by vein excision at the bedside. The treatment in our patients resulted in no morbidity. A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose this occult source of sepsis because of the minimal local physical signs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I find anything useful when I search the Internet?Information and Internet specialists try to design systems that will be easy to use and ultimately useful to Internet searchers. They have used old models for new media and as a result, there are many problems for searchers. It is important to remember that search engines search lists of words which have been indexed; if you are having trouble getting results, use synonyms, spelling variations, and more general terms. Sometimes the case (capital/lowercase letters) is important; sometimes it's not. Search tips, hints, and guidance are available in abundance on the Internet. Sometimes walking away from the search for a time, getting some fresh air, changing your perspective will help, too, when you get back to your search.
I am in a distance learning class and I need library help. What should I do?Coastline Library provides several avenues for students needing assistance. If you need assistance with Internet use, visit "Evaluating Websites" in "Instructional Videos & Tutorials", which has useful insight and guides in determining what is viable and what is not on the internet. CalWest Libraries gives you access to the library catalogs at libraries within the CalWest Consortium (a help option is available on the CalWest Libraries home page. The Ask a Librarian option lets you pose a specific question or request assistance developing a research strategy. The librarian will respond to your request within 24 hours; please do not wait until the last minute to ask for help.
How can I get copies of magazine articles for a report I'm writing?Coastline's subscriptions to EBSCOhost Web and ProQuest provide access to thousands of publications. While most articles are available in full-text, you may sometimes find that the article you want is not available electronically. In that case, you will have to take information about the article (author, title, publication name, date of publication, etc.) to a college or university library to make a copy of the article from the print version.
My local public library does not have the books and periodicals I need for my course work. What should I do?As a student at Coastline, you may obtain a library card at any of the CalWest Libraries (Golden West, Cypress, Orange Coast, and Fullerton community colleges). For a fee, you may obtain a short term library card at the University of California - Irvine library. If you live outside of southern California, check with local academic institutions (community colleges and universities); for a small fee, many will extend library privileges to the public. Remember, too, that most public libraries offer inter-library loan services. There is usually a fee for these services (from $.50 to $20.00) and there is a delay in delivery of the item (a few days to several weeks), but when you really need a resource, this may be the only way to get it.
Is your question not here? Ask a Librarian.You may also ask your question by contacting Librarian Elizabeth Horan at 714.696.1573 (phone / text) or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Easter Island with OAT
About this blog
Our visit to Easter Island was our "pre-trip" extension to the Patagonia and Chilean Fjords trip offered by Overseas Adventure Travel. In reality, it was the reason we had signed on to that trip as we've wanted to see Easter Island for ages....especially since our visit to Mt. Nemrut in Turkey.
Our trip to the Easter Islands began after a long flight from San Francisco to Miami (where we had over a 5 hour layover) to Santiago, Chile. We had a little time in Santiago where we went on a walking tour through the streets of Chile's capital. The next morning we flew on to Easter Island, named by a Dutchman who discovered the island on Easter Sunday, 1722. Our first day took us to one of the most scenic spots on the island, the fodrmer ceremonial village of Orongo. At Rano Kao Volcano we viewed the lake that has formed in the crater's depth and the ceremonial center on the crater's edge. The flight from Santiago to Easter Island also took about 5 hours so we had little else to do for the day.
After breakfast we set out to discover the island's famed moai--giant monoliths whose origin and meaning have sparked great speculation. One of the surprising things is that we learned that the Easter Island heads also have bodies that lie buried deep under the surface. There are over 887 Moai, or statues, located around the island, some of which stand up to 69 feet tall and weigh about 270 tons. While there, we visited ahus -- sacred sites where moai stand. At Ahu Vaihu, we got a chance to view moai in an unrestored state then continued to Ahu Tongariki's impressive collection of 15 restored moai carved from the quarries of nearby Rano Raraku Volcano. We also stoped to see Te Pito Kura, which today lies on the ground but--at 32 feet in length is considered the largest moai once erected on an ahu. Our last stop this day was Anakena Beach where the first Polynesian settlers are believed to have landed and where we also found six more moai.
On our last full day on Easter Island we visited Ahu Akivi, one of the only inland ahus on the island. And at sunset we were able to see the sun setting over moai at Tahai Beach.
Next day, we flew back to Santiago for an overnight before heading onto Buenos Aires to join in on the scheduled tour.
We took nearly 650 photos (mostly in Easter Island) between us and have whittled them down to 53 for Easter Island and 21 for Santiago. Hope you enjoy all of these.

Pro-life supporters say a new healthcare bill introduced last week in the Senate could provide millions more dollars to the abortion industry.
Last Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the case for the Prevention First Act, along with Reps. Louise Slaughter and Diana DeGette-- touting the bill as an answer to unintended pregnancy and increased abortions.
The bill would "improve awareness about emergency contraception," "end insurance discrimination against women," and "provide compassionate assistance for rape victims," they argue.
Read the bill here.
Click play for comments from David Christensen of the Family Research Council.
But conservative groups like the Family Research Council say the bill would encourage abortion rather than prevent it by providing increased funds to make the procedures more readily available.
"The Prevention First Act would direct hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to the abortion industry, a business that already receives over $286 million each year from federal taxpayers," FRC president Tony Perkins said.
"When you get right down to it, the bill does nothing to support parental involvement--let alone consent--for dispensing the morning after pill and other contraception to minors," he added.
Prevention First would support comprehensive sex education in schools, increase funding for contraceptives and require health insurance companies to cover forms of birth control. It would also free up funds for "Title X," a federal health program for those with lower incomes.
Slaughter said that the approach would not only decrease STDs and unwanted pregnancies but also save the country money.
"If we want to reduce the number of abortions in this country, the methodology is clear - empower women to prevent unintended pregnancies through education and access to contraception," she said "For every dollar spent on family planning services, it is estimated that almost four dollars is saved in public health spending."
Other version of the bill were introduced in 2005 and 2007. Neither became law.
Opponents of the Prevention First Act are urged to contact their state senator petitioning the legislation.

This may be the most blasphemous thing I could say but this might be the best World Cup spot this year. And it isn't even a World Cup spot. It's an ad for fashion designer Paul Smith's limited edition football, which you can purchase via Paul Smith's UK website or one presumes in store.
This spot, directed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, features football freestyler John Farnsworth. He simply demonstrates why people love the game, and live the game. And I would much rather see this than yet another scene of kids running through favelas or Leo Messi on green screen pretending to play football for a large crowd.
Well done, Paul Smith.
Client: Paul Smith
Director: Oliver Hadlee Pearch
Performer: John Farnsworth
I wasn't sure what the ad was for when I skipped the description. Interesting that it is an ad for the ball. My first thought was, "The ad for a TV featuring two lingerie model looking footballers did this first.".

Background & objectives: Cardiovascular risk factors clustering associated with blood pressure (BP) has not been studied in the Indian population. This study was aimed at assessing the clustering effect of cardiovascular risk factors with suboptimal BP in Indian population as also the impact of risk reduction interventions. Methods: Data from 10543 individuals collected in a nation-wide surveillance programme in India were analysed. The burden of risk factors clustering with blood pressure and coronary heart disease (CHD) was assessed. The impact of a risk reduction programmme on risk factors clustering was prospectively studied in a sub-group. Results: Mean age of participants was 40.9 ± 11.0 yr. A significant linear increase in number of risk factors with increasing blood pressure, irrespective of stratifying using different risk factor thresholds was observed. While hypertension occurred in isolation in 2.6 per cent of the total population, co-existence of hypertension and >3 risk factors was observed in 12.3 per cent population. A comprehensive risk reduction programme significantly reduced the mean number of additional risk factors in the intervention population across the blood pressure groups, while it continued to be high in the control arm without interventions (both within group and between group P<0.001). The proportion of 'low risk phenotype' increased from 13.4 to 19.9 per cent in the intervention population and it was decreased from 27.8 to 10.6 per cent in the control population (P<0.001). The proportion of individuals with hypertension and three more risk factors decreased from 10.6 to 4.7 per cent in the intervention arm while it was increased from 13.3 to 17.8 per cent in the control arm (P<0.001). Interpretation & conclusions: Our findings showed that cardiovascular risk factors clustered together with elevated blood pressure and a risk reduction programme significantly reduced the risk factors burden.
Keywords: Cardiovascular diseases - clustering - risk factors - risk reduction

Professionals are often asked, "How do I know if my child is psychic or just having a singular encounter?"
Parents of a child who sees or has seen ghosts might be thrilled to discover that their child is psychic, or they might be disturbed by that knowledge.
A onetime ghostly event can be triggered by several stressors, like drinking aspartame in diet soda, food allergies, emotional intensity or overload, an emotionally toxic home environment, physical or mental abuse, or night terrors. An adrenal overload of the stress hormone cortisol can activate the temporal lobe, the part of the brain associated with psychic activity. A onetime sighting may also be a crisis apparition, experienced by adults and children alike after the death of someone close to them.
If a child has a one-time event, does this mean a child could have other events? Possibly.

I've been following this with fascination and have just sent him an email asking - what would happen if he changed the proportion of fats/carbs he consumed.
Assuming carbohydrate intake was set at say 50g (enough to stay out of Keto but low enough to ensure fast fat loss) and then adequate fat was consumed to supply energy but still be in a deficit for the day, how would he feel differently? What sort of deficit could he maintain week to week while still feeling healthy?
For example he is currently consuming a maintenance diet of 400g carbs and 65g fat, if he changed instead to 100g carbs and 200g fat what difference would this make to his health and his mood throughout the day?
If he found he was putting on fat he could simply tweak his ratios, drop down to 50g carbs and 150g fat he could be losing 1.5 lbs a week!
This is obviously completely the opposite of the primal way; getting everything the body requires from an abundance of fresh veg, quality meat, healthy fat sources etc. but as a thought experiment it really excites me!

We like to make things.
We are a team.
We think of ourselves as kind yet firm – grace and finesse, you guys, separates us from the animals.
We want to be our best selves and do our best work.
We are no less than the moon and the stars.
We are meant to be here.
Jamie Iacoli and Brian McAllister met on MySpace in late 2007. They started making things and otherwise didn't really have a plan. They dated for a few years, the business grew, they stopped dating, the business grew, and grew and grew and grew. They were self producing all of their products and found that all they were doing was business, business, business in a depressing industrial park in south Seattle. During this time Jamie fell in love with Aaron Keeler, got engaged, brought Aaron on as a partner and they then all hatched a plan. They downsized the company, outsourced the fabrication, got a beautiful studio space overlooking Puget Sound and returned to what they love – designing beautiful products. Products that are simple, use natural materials, are just the right composition and proportion, are fabricated in the US and assembled in their studio. They all live together in a townhouse in Capitol Hill with their dogs Sid and Gus and now they have a plan. It's sort of The Real World meets design studio, or something.

Reference to the "Hartmann operation" for diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon is found with increasing frequency in the current medical literature. In principle, this operation consists of the removal of a segment of colon containing an acutely inflamed area of diverticulitis, with or without perforation or fistula. The end of the proximal colon is brought out as a colostomy. The end of the distal colon is oversewn above the pelvic peritoneum and dropped back into the abdomen. The incision is then closed. Several months later, after reaction to the disease and the operation has subsided, anastomosis of the ends of healthy colon above and below is carried out as the second stage.
Proponents of this approach cite a mortality significantly lower than that after primary resection and anastomosis since the suture line made in the absence of acute inflammation is more secure than one made in the presence of peritonitis

Lavie Tidhar's 'Osama,' 'The Weird' anthology win World Fantasy Awards
Lavie Tidhar's 'Osama' was voted the year's best fantasy novel this weekend at the World Fantasy Convention in Toronto. It won over stiff, worth competition that include Jo Walton's "Among Others," which had already won this year's Hugo and Nebula Awards; George R.R. Martin's "A Dance With Dragons," the latest installment in his "A Song of Fire and Ice" series; and Stephen King's "11/22/63," a popular and bestselling Kennedy assassination time-travel tale.
Tidhar is an Israeli-born writer who now lives in London. i09.com's Charlie Jane Anders described his novel as "a strange pulp-oriented alt history about Osama Bin Laden." »Read Full Blog Post(1)
'Arrested Development' latest show to find new life after TV death

Art critic Lori Waxman gives her reviews in public
Culture is more than an enveloping painting on a museum wall or the confounding installation at an upstart gallery. It exists in the way we look at, talk about and express ourselves about art.
The idea that the writing of art criticism qualifies as the making of culture certainly fits the professional practice of Lori Waxman, a regular freelance critic for the Chicago Tribune and a frequent writer for publications such as Artforum. »Read Full Article

Thanks to Fit Yoga instructor Jill Murawski at Crull Fitness, my attitude about yoga has changed and my frustration lessened. In other words, I think there's hope for me yet.
Finding the right instructor, or the right sport, or the right shoes, or the right path or reason or focus or any number of things we seek in the name of good health, isn't always easy. It's especially tough when we're bogged down by negatives — some brought on by ourselves; some by the outside world.
But then, if we're lucky, we either get our burst of self-confidence or — a little more likely — get one because someone believes in us.
So without further ado, take a gander at this video story of a war veteran who had about given up on ever walking, or feeling good, again. Cost of this uplift? Less than five minutes of your time, plus the price of a tissue (or two).

Look at that fucken dirty scrut!

Can you define these popular missing words?
to eat like a pig
Im gunna go to the fridge and scrut.
Beküldő: ShmoopyPoopy 2009. február 28.
When the word "chav" is too commonly used, one must use the word "scrut". similar meaning but used more in disgust at the "female of this species" when they wear clown paint and think it looks good with the roots they cant afford to dye this month and the "gold" they got from a 20p turn machine, which all in all, makes them look like the slutty, minging, delusional tramps they really are.
This pub is full of scuts, lets go.
Beküldő: i'm hungry 2003. május 28.
Noun; A low life person, usually with multiple non-running vehicles and or trash on their front lawn. Alcohol and drugs are synonymous with a "Scrut." Scruts are people with very little to no class, and are found in low-income areas.
"Take a look at that scrut over there... He's so trashed, he fell into his pyramid of beer cans."
Beküldő: Jimi Mason 2009. március 2.

Despite months of protests, the New York state House has yet to decide on a bill that would reverse the New York City school district's ban on using public schools for worship services.
Sunday is the last day congregations will be able to meet for worship in New York City public schools.
Many church leaders are still at a loss for where their congregations will meet after this Sunday. "Sunday, Feb. 12 will be the last day. We will worship that day. We have to come back on the 14th, that's a Tuesday night, and then on the 19th, which is next Sunday," Sal Sabino, pastor of 2,000-member Heavenly Vision Church, told CBN News.
"Those two last days is where the problem may be," he said." So what we plan to do is celebrate services outside the school."
The New York Senate passed legislation to reverse the school worship ban. It still needs to pass the house and get the governor's signature.

The final blowout went to Atlanta, so it's the Hawks who'll get a shot at LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Joe Johnson scored 27 points to make up for a mostly disappointing series, and the Hawks won the first Game 7 played in Atlanta, beating Dwayne Wade and the Miami Heat, 91-78, on Sunday to advance to the second round of the NBA playoffs for the first time in a decade.
A series totally devoid of drama ended in appropriate fashion. After a back-and-forth first quarter that ended with Atlanta ahead 20-18, the Hawks pulled out to a 49-36 lead by halftime.
They might as well have started the celebration right then. There were only 15 lead changes in seven games - not one after the opening period. Every game was decided by at least 10 points, and this one wasn't nearly as close as the final margin.
O'Hair prevails at Quail Hollow: Sean O'Hair won the Quail Hollow Championship, closing with a 3-under 69 for a one-shot victory and redemption from blowing a five-shot lead a month ago to Tiger Woods.
Despite a bogey-bogey finish on the two hardest holes at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, N.C., O'Hair handled the blustery, firm conditions better than anyone. Of the final 18 players to tee off Sunday, he was the only one to break 70.
He seized control with an 8-foot birdie on the 16th hole, and was on the practice green when Lucas Glover failed to make birdie on the 18th hole that would have forced a playoff.
Glover (71) and Bubba Watson (70) finished one shot behind. Woods finished with 10 straight pars for a 72 to finish alone in fourth, two shots behind.
Kemp remembered for leadership: Harry Jacobs can still hear the crowd booing loudly at Buffalo's War Memorial Stadium as Jack Kemp took the field in place of benched quarterback - and fan favorite - Daryle Lamonica.
What made the moment memorable some 45 years later was how Kemp immediately made the booing stop and the cheers start by connecting with Charley Ferguson for a touchdown.
For Jacobs, the former Bills linebacker, that was the first of many examples of the persevering quality that made Kemp an unquestioned leader on the football field long before he ever became a political player. And it's a memory Jacobs cherished Sunday, a day after Kemp, 73, died of cancer at his home in Bethesda, Md.

Mike Perkis, current mayor pro tem on Sullivan's Island Town Council, declared he was running for mayor in the upcoming May election.
Current mayor Carl Smith decided not to seek re-election and no other island resident stepped up to challenge Perkis.
"I have to admit I was very surprised there were no other candidates for mayor," Perkis said. "I feel honored and humbled by the support shown by our community."
That doesn't mean he's putting his candidacy on cruise control, though. "There is still substantial work to keep Sullivan's Island the special place it is, and I'm committed to continue to work hard for the next four years to meet the trust placed in me by the residents of this community."
The Charleston County Board of Elections and the State Ethics Commission approved all candidates who filed for the May 7 election, including Perkis. Sarah Church, Chauncey Clark, Billy Matthews, Susan Middaugh, Pat O'Neil were all given the go-aheads on their campaigns for three open council seats.

Metroid Fusion Game Boy Advance
- Publisher: Nintendo
- Release Date: Nov 17, 2002
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Game InformerFrom beginning to end, Metroid Fusion is everything you could want from a Game Boy Advance game... Truly one of the greats. Long live Samus! [Jan 2003, p.120]
Nintendo PowerA brilliant return to the classic Metroid style of action gaming. [Dec 2002, p.212]
But what's most remarkable about the visuals is that no compromises were made. Although everything is big and bright, this hasn't meant the elimination of fine details.
Beautiful in both looks and sound, Metroid Fusion is simply a pleasure to play.
Play MagazineTake everything you loved about "Metroid" and "Super Metroid" and imagine them magnified, modified, and improved upon. [Dec 2002, p.92]
GameNowMore consistently intense than any previous Metroid game. [Jan 2003, p.63]
The key replay value in this game is getting the 5 different endings via getting more items and beating the game in less time. It is somewhat akin to getting the under 2 hours ending in the original Metroid.
Every minute of the adventure is packed with excitement and intrigue as you set out to discover exactly who's behind the mysterious 'accident' that destroyed the station and killed everyone aboard.
netjakOne thing that sets Metroid Fusion apart from its predecessors is a clearly stated and well-developed storyline, including, for the first time, occasional monologues by Samus herself.
In reality, it will take a good 10 to 12 hours of hard playtime to go from beginning to end of Metroid Fusion, and it's an incredibly satisfying experience all the way through.
The game told me I finished in around 4 hours, but I played for at least ten. With tons of hidden items, and five different endings, this game is sure to keep you occupied. Metroid Fusion is a must own title.
Fusion is so good that if it weren't for the small, unlit screen, you wouldn't even be able to tell that it is a "portable" game.
Probably one of the coolest stories ever to grace a platform/adventure game. And not only that, but the story actually is consistent with the games in the past.
Easily the best classic 2D Metroid game yet, and even the best game on the handheld to date.
Pocket GamesThe control is perfect...all games should feel this good. [Spring 2003, p.27]
A little short but you'll love every minute of it. Deserves a place alongside "Advance Wars" and "Yoshi's Island." [NGC]
Electronic Gaming MonthlyAs expected, the control is perfect. Samus' myriad movies activate with precision and ease - all games should feel this good. [Jan 2003, p.214]
A fantastic title. If you can forgive the linearity (after all, this is a GBA shooter/platformer) and the slight blips in difficulty, you'll be in for a real treat. You must own this game, after all, it's not very often Samus makes trips out these days.
Just too damn short! I logged in roughly six or seven hours and finished the game, though, those six or seven hours were some of the finest gaming hours of my life.
Perhaps the only niggle that you can level at Metroid Fusion, is that the focus on strong story telling reduces the exploration aspect, an area that the Metroid series is virtually unrivalled in.
GMR MagazineWhile the gameplay is faster, and more responsive than ever before, MF manages to feel even more claustophobic than in the past. That's a good thing. [Feb 2003, p.75]
My favourite 2D Metroid yet... [and] the best platform adventure the GBA has.
Simply the best adventure game currently available on the Gameboy Advance. It's tough, but rewarding, plays extremely well and is not a simple port like so many other of Nintendo's releases before it.
This is one of those Game Boy Advance titles where the developers are producing with the ethic and quality of a GameCube title. That's a rare feat on this platform.
Hardcore Metroid fanatics may be turned off by the way the navigation computer holds your hand through most of the game, but all others will find an expertly crafted adventure title.
This is the stuff dreams are made of--tight control, classic Metroid gameplay and a few puzzling twists.
A little too short, but the secrets are bountiful, and the addition of power-ups that potentially fight back is sublimely ingenious.
The effects used in the game are as good, if not better, than Super Metroid on the SNES. The sound effects are also excellent, boasting superb music and clear voice effects during much of the game, along with the normal bleeps and booms from constant enemy killing.
The gameplay is, once again, among Nintendo's best of all time. They know how to make the game fun and addictive, and there are very few hiccups that will hurt you.
Despite my complaints about the sound and music, and my half-hearted desire for a less linear style of play, Metroid Fusion is a great game that should be checked out by anyone who owns a GBA.
Very little felt new; even the final enemy encounter is heavily inspired by the endgame of "Super Metroid."
Die hard Metroid fans will find little cause for complaint here, while gamers who are new to Samus' charms will surely be impressed.
A throwback to "Super Metroid," offering most of that game's best qualities in an all-new adventure. It's disappointing that Fusion ends so soon, since it's such a great game while it lasts.
For the first time, story is really a driving force. No, it's nothing truly fascinating, but it's less shallow than fans might expect.
Entertainment WeeklyThis engrossing mission is less a test of hand-eye coordination than it is a mind-bending quest full of challenging labyrinths and exercises in strategy. [24 Jan 2003, p.107]
With such a loss in the challenge department, Nintendo thought they could make it up by adding enemies who can slice 50 Hit points away in one attack. How did the X learn to boost the potency of such simple attacks? The world may never know.
The linearity of Metroid Fusion was definitely a disappointment, but not something to write it off... In terms of simple gameplay mechanics, control, boss-battles and overall design effort, it is top notch.
Roughly a four- to eight-hour journey. MF offers replay value through uncovering all the hidden areas and clearing the game within a time limit, but with such an engaging character and appealing theme, players will need little convincing for a return trip.
Cheat Code CentralThe most intense few hours of my life... The biggest problems with Metroid is that it's over way too fast.
It may be nearly devoid of the exploration aspects that older fans appreciate, but it is still a game that all GBA owners can cherish.

If you like the exploration and independence of the other games, avoid Fusion. It is absolutely linear, plodding, and just plain wearying to play. Then there's the art. A lot has been said about how good the game looks, and I won't lie: it's pretty good. However, they try to throw so much on screen at times, it's hard to even tell what's foreground or background, what you need to be paying attention to and what you should ignore. It just ends up looking messy. Oh, and this is the game that introduced the Adam Malkovich albatross that culminated in the fiasco that is Other M.
This isn't the worst game in the series, but it DEFINITELY doesn't deserve the 100/100s that you see over on the critic side or the 10/10s on the user side. If you want a "return to form" GBA Metroid, play Zero Mission. The Prime games are also good examples of how to do Metroid gameplay (Hint: it's about the exploration).… Full Review »

The controls are pinpoint precise, the music and sound design are excellent and the famousMetroid Fusion is a near perfect 2D adventure game. The controls are pinpoint precise, the music and sound design are excellent and the famous atmosphere of the Metroid series has been carried over exactly. The difficulty is just about right too. There are some challenging bosses to be dealt with (namely the SA-X chase sequence and Nightmare) but nothing feels over-the-top unlike Metroid Prime 2. the level design is fantastic too. Due to the game's more plot heavy nature, you've always got an objective to take care of. This makes the game more accessible than previous Metroid games. That said, the game still gives you more than enough exploration to do and parts like the AQA labyrinth will have you scratching your head and begging for a guide! Basically speaking, I love Metroid Fusion. It's one of my favorite 2D games of all time and a worthy successor to legendary Super Metroid.… Full Review »

The supermodel (and Leonardo DiCaprio's ex-girlfriend) tops Maxim's Hot 100 list this year – and it's not hard to see why.
Refaeli tells the magazine in its issue, on stands May 29, that she was "shocked that among all these beautiful ladies, I'm number one." Meanwhile, Maxim's editors say the Israeli beauty "puts the 'promise' in the Promised Land."
Capping off the top 10, which was voted on by readers for the first time ever: Olivia Munn; Mila Kunis; Katy Perry; Olivia Wilde; Jennifer Lawrence; Emma Stone; Megan Fox; Malin Akerman; and Adrianna Palicki.
Refaeli has made the list before – landing in last year's top 10, in fact.

Summer vacations mean bare feet, the smell of sunscreen, catching fireflies at night, and watermelon seed fights. For me and my son, it also means camping at a place near and dear to our hearts—Hermit Island, Maine. And at the end of it all, it requires a special summer vacation memento like an ocean diorama to remind us of our time spent there.
We tend to be early risers at Hermit Island. When the sun comes up we trek out to our favorite beach for a picnic breakfast. We make every effort to wake up while we watch the fishing and lobster boats weave their way past the island. Afterwards, if it's low tide, we head out to Sand Dollar Beach to look for hermit crabs and sand dollars. After lunch we continue our search for crabs in the tidal pools and spend long lazy hours with our toes buried in the sand, watching the waves. At night time it's a bit magical to look around the perimeter of the island and see small glowing fires and candle-lit lanterns speckled across the landscape.
I wanted to collect shells and rocks for my ocean diorama, but I wasn't sure about Hermit Island's rules (if any) on whether people could remove natural items. Therefore, I didn't keep any items we found. Any rocks, shells and other treasures we found were photographed, then left where we found them. This made making my ocean diorama a bit more challenging, but not impossible. I had a few beach rocks and shells from home that I used, and then supplemented with stickers and paper.
Materials to Make an Ocean Diorama
- Paper mache or thick cardboard box
- Decorative paper
- Paint
- Miniature canvas frames (I purchased mine at AC Moore)
- Themed stickers or ephemera
- Collected items from your vacation
- Glue
Directions to Make an Ocean Diorama
- Paint your box a base color of your choice. I chose white.
- Cut and glue decorative paper around the edges or border of your box
- I flip my canvas frames around to use them like miniature shadowboxes. I do not use the flat side-I use the framed side. Paint the canvas frame and canvas as you would like.
- Find a memento from your trip to put in the frame/s. You can also use the frames to add titles to your diorama.
- Glue the miniature canvas frames into your box.
- Add stickers, collected items from your vacation and any other mementos you would like. Arrange them first and then glue into place.
When the long New England winter comes around, it will be refreshing to look at this diorama and remember our summer adventures at Hermit Island.

A Day at Zombieland - Sunscreen and Shotguns Required!
It's Day 38. Just one week to go until Ruben Fleischer's horror comedy Zombieland is wrapped - under time and on budget. And today it's time to break shit. Lots of shit. Shit that took the production designers and set decorators weeks to put together. But I'm getting ahead of myself. A while back, the good people at Sony invited FS.net out to Atlanta, Georgia to spend a day on the set of Zombieland. For those of you who haven't already seen the brain-exploding trailer, this is the story of two friends: Columbus, played by Jesse Eisenberg, and Tallahassee, played by Woody Harrelson. So let's venture into Zombieland, shall we?
Set Visit Preview: Zack Snyder's Watchmen!
There's nothing quite like standing inside of the real Owl Ship. And there's nothing quite like watching Rorschach beat the crap out of inmates. And those are just two of the fond memories I had on my visit to the set of Watchmen in Vancouver, BC last October. Watching Zack Snyder direct his pack of vigilante heroes as they fight their way out of a jail is truly an unforgettable experience. And well before the first photos hit the web and well before anyone gained confidence in Zack Snyder, I was already watching it unfold right in front of my eyes. As the day wrapped up and I sat in awe watching one more scene in the jail play out, it finally struck me - this movie was going to be absolutely incredible. It would be everything Watchmen fans wanted and more and it was all thanks to the brilliance of Zack Snyder.
Set Visit Preview: The New Friday the 13th
Last weekend I was invited down to Austin, Texas to visit the set of the new reboot of Friday the 13th. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I couldn't pass up and it ended up being one of the best set visits I've ever been on. I joined up with a few other websites and spent one hell of entertaining evening down near an over-turned bus watching the new Jason swing his machete and chase two "kids" around for hours. We've been a bit harsh previously on the cast of this film, but all of those bad memories went away when I arrived at the new and improved Camp Crystal Lake. While I'm not the biggest Friday the 13th fan out there, being able to actually step in to the action and experience it all first hand really made me realize that this new Friday the 13th is going to kick some serious ass.

Pittsburgh, PA…Lynn Zelevansky, The Henry J. Heinz II Director of Carnegie Museum of Art, announced today the launch of the Hillman Photography Initiative, which aims to be a living laboratory for exploring the rapidly changing field of photography and its impact on the world. According to Zelevansky, "The Initiative positions the museum to be a leader in a subject area with broad appeal and profound relevance to contemporary society. We are deeply grateful for the William T. Hillman Foundation's support and partnership in this effort." Martin McGuinn, chairman of Carnegie Museum of Art's board, added, "The Initiative's focus on art and technological innovation makes it a great fit not only for Carnegie Museums but for the entire region. We expect it to become a national model."
For much of its history, photography has pervaded our world, but never more so than today, when non-stop technological innovations make it ever easier to take photographs and share them instantaneously. There are over eight billion pictures on the social media site Flickr; photographs on the Internet appear for seconds and then disappear, lost in a pictorial "newsfeed." How does that affect their meaning? Our belief in their veracity? Our way of valuing them as keepsakes? And where in the midst of all these images and new technologies does art reside? What are the intellectual and aesthetic criteria by which we value photographs made with new means (for example, cell phones, computational photography) today? And how will we value those made by other means tomorrow?Supported by funding from the William T. Hillman Foundation, the Hillman Photography Initiative is a special project within the photography department of Carnegie Museum of Art that will offer an adaptable framework for engaging with these provocative issues. Favoring an approach that is experimental and open to new perspectives, the Initiative will be driven by the collaboration of five "agents," consisting of four external experts and Carnegie Museum of Art curator Tina Kukielski, who is also co-curator of the 2013 Carnegie International. The Initiative will follow a 12-month cycle, beginning with an intense three-month planning period during which the agents will work together with program manager Divya Rao Heffley to identify a key theme that will inspire a wide range of activities such as exhibitions, programs, collaborations, publications, commissioned works of art, artist residencies, and online experiences. Nathan Martin of the innovation/design studio Deeplocal will facilitate the process. Following the planning phase, Kukielski and Heffley will work with other museum staff to manage the implementation of the activities over the nine months that follow. Rollout of activities is expected in early 2014, although some may begin more quickly. Additionally, the Initiative will co-sponsor and/or collaborate on related projects at the museum and with other institutions.
The public will be able to track progress at initiative.cmoa.org.
The first group of agents includes, along with Tina Kukielski, Marvin Heiferman, independent curator and writer; Alex Klein, program curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; Illah Nourbakhsh, professor of robotics and director of the CREATE Lab, Carnegie Mellon University; and Arthur Ou, assistant professor of photography and director, BFA photography, Parsons The New School for Design. The group will meet for the first time on April 21–22 to begin the development cycle.
At the close of each 12-month cycle, two external agents will remain, while the other two positions will be filled with new contributors, allowing for both continuity and the infusion of new perspectives.
The structure for the Initiative grew out of a robust planning process. Approximately two years ago, the Foundation approached the museum with the idea of doing something distinctive in photography—an area of particular interest to William T. Hillman, an artist, collector, and longtime supporter of the museum. Rather than trying to replicate what others were already doing well, a team from the museum conducted in-depth research and benchmarking to explore the field and determine how the Initiative could add value and become a widely known center for innovation and excellence. Deeplocal's Nathan Martin was engaged to assist with process design. To maintain maximum flexibility, the museum does not currently envision a bricks-and-mortar manifestation of the Initiative.
While the Initiative's focus is primarily on the future, it is also deeply connected with the museum's efforts to collect, conserve, and exhibit the entire breadth of the history of the medium. In 1904, Alfred Stieglitz was invited to organize an exhibition at the museum, establishing the museum as one of the first in the country to recognize photography as an art. More recent exhibitions include Digital to Daguerreotype: Photographs of People (June 20, 2009–January 31, 2010), which showed how photographers from the last 160 years explored the human subject through a wide range of artistic practices; Impressionism in a New Light: From Monet to Stieglitz (May 12–August 26, 2012), an exploration of the complex relationship between Impressionism and the Pictorialist movement in photography; and Yours Truly: Privately Collected Photographs (December 14, 2012–March 10, 2013), with vintage prints by some of the most outstanding photographers of the 20th century, including Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Robert Frank, Weegee, and Garry Winogrand. Forty-six works from Yours Truly were announced as promised gifts to the museum from the collection of William T. Hillman, joining seven other works promised earlier in 2012.
Carnegie Museum of Art's collection includes the Teenie Harris Archive of nearly 80,000 images, one of the most detailed and intimate records of the urban black experience known today. The museum's groundbreaking 2011 exhibition Teenie Harris, Photographer: An American Story (October 29, 2011–April 7, 2012) was hailed as a "remarkable accomplishment" by the Wall Street Journal and praised by numerous other outlets regionally and nationally.
MissionWith the rapidly evolving field of photography as its focus, the Hillman Photography Initiative will explore the intersections among artistic practices and technological research. It will further these explorations by supporting the development of projects that break down barriers to participation and encourage both insiders and the general public—onsite and online—to see the museum and photography in a new light.
About the AgentsMarvin Heiferman is an independent curator and writer who has focused on the influence of photographic images on culture and history in projects such as WHY WE LOOK on Twitter (@WhyWeLook 2012–present), Photography Changes Everything as part of the Smithsonian Photography Initiative, (2008–2012), Fame after Photography at the Museum of Modern Art (1999), Image World: Art and Media Culture at the Whitney Museum of American Art (1989), and The Family of Man 1955–1984 at P.S. 1 (1984).

The richest just got richer. On Wednesday afternoon, Kentucky picked up the commitment of its fourth blue-chip recruit when power forward Marcus Lee pledged to join the Wildcats.
Lee, a 6-9 native of Antioch, Calif., is ranked as the No. 15 prospect in the country by Rivals.com. He'll join No. 3 Aaron Harrison, No. 4 Andrew Harrison and No. 8 James Young. UK coach John Calipari also has a commitment from No. 126 Derek Willis.
Calipari certainly is well on his way to having the No. 1-ranked recruiting class for a fifth consecutive year, and top-rated recruit Julius Randle and No. 5 Aaron Gordon also have UK on their short lists.
Lee picked Kentucky over offers from Cal, Duke, Indiana, Kansas and UCLA.
"I think he's a guy that can really help them by way of contesting shots and by way of rebounding," Scout.com analyst Evan Daniels told the Lexington Herald-Leader. "He'll get some easy baskets just from running the floor. I think that's going to be more his role.
"He grew a couple of inches, he got more fluid, he became a better athlete, he developed some on the offensive end. He's a guy that I think can really impact a game with his ability to run the floor, his ability to contest shots, his ability to rebound. ... He has a lot of tools and there's a lot to like about him."

Q: My fiancee and I are currently living with two roommates we've both known for a few years. This is for financial reasons and will end in six months.
My fiancee seems to be in a little bit of a funk recently, stressed and more depressed (yes, she's medicated). She seems to be in a better mood hanging out with our roommate who is the same age/sex as me. They don't go hanging out together, just the two of them; I don't think anything extra is going on. But when they're just talking or watching TV or doing something mutual around the house, she seems to be happier than when she does the same things with me.
This makes me happy for her because she's in a better mood, but then I get sad and jealous because I start questioning why I don't put her in that mood.
I don't get the same negative feelings when I see her having a much better time with some of her lifelong friends of the opposite sex. She sees them infrequently, and they all have much more in common.
Should I bring this up, or let it go?
Minor Brooding in Oregon
A: It is important not to read too much into relationships that are easier than a lifelong commitment. Money, health and stress are burdens that committed couples have to deal with together.
But: It's also important not to read too little into her easy compatibility with others. Did you two ever have that rapport? If so, then the answer could be as simple as making more room for fun.
If not, then it's entirely possible you're not as compatible, and maintaining a relationship that, while loving, requires extra effort from you both. It's also possible for the depression, stress and jealousy to be side effects of the emotional fatigue of having to work to make things work. Worth a think.
