Skip to comments.The killing of Theo van Gogh and the aftermath - Report by a Dutch guy
Posted on 11/10/2004 2:52:53 AM PST by teezle
I have read several comments by FReepers about the slaugthering of Theo van Gogh and see a lot of half truths about it. Therefore I will write this short report from Utrecht (The Netherlands).
Theo van Gogh was a very famous film maker and columnist in The Netherlands. His movies were about several topics including a remake of Romeo and Julia with a Dutch girl and a Morrocan immigrant. He was a very generous guy as all his friends mentioned at the funeral and a good citizen (working for his son's sportclub). His other side was his fun in provoking people. He has provoked almost every well-known person in the Netherlands. For instance, there has been a lawsuit against him for commenting: "It smells like caramel, they must be burning the Jews with diabetes". He just loved to create conflicts.
He has been sacked as a columnist numerous times and the last few years he used the free newspaper in public traffic and his website www.degezonderoker.nl (thehealthysmoker) for his insults. Last years a lot of his insults were pointed against Muslims which he always mentioned as goatf*uckers. And yes, that is possible in the NL. I read an article about a NYT reporter who was thinking how he was going to translate that. I read in the NYT that he finally used "bestiality with a goat". :-)
Another person in the NL who is trying to start a discussion about Muslims and the Koran is Ayaan Hirsi Ali (House of Representatives for the liberal party). She is originally from Somalia and when she was told to marry a guy she fled to the NL. She asked Theo van Gogh to do a short film about Mulims women surpression and he did. Ayaan has been threatened so many times (she is someone who is not Muslim anymore, don't know the word for that) that she got police protection 24/7. Theo did not want protection.
Last week Theo van Gogh was cycling through Amsterdam and Mohammed B. shot him several times, slit his throat and than stabbed two knifes in him. One was sticking a letter to Ayaan Hirsi Ali to his body.
That night 20.000 people were making a lot of noise on the Dam (square) in Amsterdam to make a statement that this will not be tolerated. Also several Muslim demonstrations have been held after Tuesday. And a few rightwing extremist (neo nazis) were having demonstrations but these were aborted by the police.
A few more people were arrested in the aftermath and police are searching Mohammed B.'s religious teacher. They both had contact with Samir A., the guy who was arrested for planning attacks against the House of Rep.
Mohammed B. was raised in the NL and was a normal (read: moderate Muslim) until two years ago. He started visiting more radical mosques, got a beard and started wearing djelaba's. People around him say that he started becoming radical after his mother died of cancer. But when he got radical they lost contact.
Since Theo van Gogh was not a normal guy his friends organised a party the day before his funeral. They even had a corner with goats behind a fence with a sign above it: "For people that have the urge". :-)
Since last Tuesday a few attacks have been commited against Islamic schools and mosques. This ranged from small fires to thrown-in windows. Apart from two other attacks: A bomb attack at a Islamic school in Eindhoven and yesterday a fire that burned down a Islamic school in Uden. Also several churces have been under attack in recent days and yesterday night (I cannot believe it) the church in the village I grew up at (Boxmeer) was set on fire (small one though).
This morning I woke up and learned that the terrorism police squad tried to enter a house in The Hague and got a grenade thrown at them. Three police men were hurt. The police is trying to prevent the thing that happened in Madrid (exploding house when they entered) and are still waiting to enter the house. It is now even prohibited to fly over The Hague.
I can tell you guys this. Living in the Netherlands at this moment in time is very unreal. The song I keep having in my head this morning is "We gotta get out of this place.." I am starting to think more and more that we are on the edge of a major conflict within the NL (as some of you guys have been telling al along), but I am not ready to give up on the Muslim community in the Netherlands.
If it happens I probably have move to another country (perhaps to America like Theo van Gogh was going to do when his son finally got 18, is now 12 I believe). We'll see...
Btw. People were questioning my Dutch decent because of my English but I lived in England for half a year so that's why.
If anyone has any questions about the Netherlands or the situation as of now, please feel free to ask.
Best, Teezle
Many thanks for posting here. We know how terrible the Muslim Trojan Horse is THOUGH you are seeing it first hand due to insane immigration policies.
We saw it here on 09-11 in spades
Love that image of the ROP. Thanks 'backhoe'.
We should welcome all non-Muslim immigration to the USA... and prohibit Muslims completely. Not possible, I know. But that's what we SHOULD do.
The USA should be the last place on earth that these animals turn into a s--house.
Thanks for the post.
I'd give up on the Muslims in your country. Ask Buddhist in Thailand about Islam. Ask Hindus in India about Islam. Ask Catholics in Nigeria about Islam. Ask Protestants in Darfur about Islam.
Everywhere Islam comes into contact with another culture, regardless of what that culture may be, violence follows.
There is something seriously wrong with a religion, that if it is questioned, insulted or slighted in some way, the only acceptable response is death.
Even if Van Gogh was pretty vocal about his disdain for Muslims, Jews, etc, it doesn't excuse the Muslim religion from going over the line and killing him, and it doesn't excuse them from beheading innocents in Iraq either. If the Muslim religion is really a religion of peace, they will be outraged at the acts committed in their name, and that outrage is yet to be heard.
Spain, Netherlands, and soon The rest of Europe will have this problem with the Islamofascists, IMO. Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away. Appeasment as a foreign policy is bound to fail, everytime.
Thank you for the message... It is shocking to wake up and read about what is happening in the Netherlands. It seems like things are getting out of control.
Personally, I think that it is awful that people of both religions are retaliating by starting fires at mosques or churches. Some here might say that this only reflects built-up anger without an outlet, but this is not a good enough excuse. On the other hand, if one lives in a community and knows that there is a building down the street where fanatics are planning and praising attacks against Westerners (including Americans -- I believe some of the plotting for 911 was done in Holland) and the government is doing nothing about it, it wouldn't take much for one to take the situation in one's own hands.
For me, one of the most interesting things is to compare this reaction in the Netherlands to the American reaction after 911. It could be that the Dutch arsonists aren't afraid of punishment in the same way as would happen in the US. Furthermore, it is ironic that European intellectuals want us to believe that European society is more calm and fair but then something like this can set them off in a way that surpasses the American response. I think that this event, combined with Madrid which oddly does not seem to have fully sunken in, may finally force Europe to recognize that it cannot ignore the threat from radical Islam.
Stay safe over there and remember that American is grateful for the Dutch support in the last few years. Also I certainly hope that no one will try to blame this situation on the United States for 'inflaming' Muslims; 911 did that itself.
Lets hope so and lance that ugly boil once and for all.

This one DEFINITELY did for me, thanks. (psst....you may see it copied on some other threads!) :)
This is interesting. Good post!
Holland is a great country. Let's hope that our islama-buddies have played their hand wrongly and in a self-defeating enough manner that this problem is over with and resolved quickly and conclusively.
I've been following the aftermath and ramifications ensuing from Theo Van Gogh's murder here in the US. Maybe he's provoked them to self-defeating reactions that will confound their cause. Let's hope so.
Be safe.
Thanks for posting!! I think the problem with moderate muslims is that they all have the potential of becoming radical muslims at some point by coming in contact with the wrong people.
I visit Amsterdam every year for the last 8 years . I have many friends there. I noticed the last few years the growing Moslem population .my cloe friend there has told me , more and more , that street crime is starting to happen in Amsterdam (mostly young Moslem gangs)Another friend is a school teacher there. He too told me that the Islamic kids are major problems there . Arrogant and unwilling to be part of the Dutch society. I saw mush of this behavior myself in recent visits. Please do the righ tthing in Jolland before it's too late. Dont put up with it . It's such a wonderful country .
Thank you for taking the time to enlighten us. Your post was more interesting and informative than the news articles on this subject.
Thank you for the extra information.
I have known severa Hollanders and they all speak almost unaccented English. and French. and German. etc.
16 million are Dutch and one million are Muslim?
With their birthrate and the birthrate of the original Dutch population, they will own your country in a generation. When that happens, you may get the chance to emigrate, if you are lucky. The Islamic way is "convert or die." Sometimes they kill you anyway just for the bloodlust of it.
The Muslims are going to bring another Dark Ages upon Europe.
This is what you Dutch get for your historic generosity to all cultures.
Raid in The Hague Leaves Three Police Officers Wounded; Air Space Over City Closed
In memory of Mr. Van Gogh, I hereby promise to refer to Muslims as goat****ers as often as possible.
The problem is, so many Muslim communities do not stand up and protest the terrorists. I find it really difficult to accept a group which, though it says it is against terrorism, won't turn in such terrorists because they are 'muslims' If you don't want to give up on them, then you should be pushing them to become part of society and stand against the terrorists and radicals who they say have stolen their peaceful religion.
teezle, you've taken a lot of abuse here and i'm sorry for that. I know you've been trying to provide a Dutch perspective on things and I for one appreciate it.
A lot of the people on FR are quick to fire critiques if you violate their perceived "party line", but they are not thinking things through. Many are greatly PO'd about the Islamist threat and this affects their reactions.
When you say "Living in the Netherlands at this moment in time is very unreal," you are experiencing exactly and precisely what America has been going through since 9/11. Particularly in the months following 9/11, Americans were generally in shock about what happened. I imagine that's what's going on in the Netherlands right now.
America does have a "politically correct" crowd that wants to avoid public discussion about the Islamist threat, which is a bad thing (obviously that crowd is not here on FR). However there is an undercurrent of investigation, discussion, books, and of course here on the Internet where these issues are discussed openly. I think if the discussion were more open it would be easier to sort out the Islamists from the "moderate Muslims" who seem to be absolutely silent in America. For example, unlike in Amsterdam we've had no demonstrations by the Muslims against Islamist terrorism. Not one. Zero. This makes us suspect that there really are no "moderate Muslims."
In any case I hope the Dutch government will set a model for Europe and take serious measure against the freedom-hating Islamists.
" It's such a wonderful country "
It is, and it is because this society
is *tolerant*. Going to Holland is always
like a breeze of fresh air.
I am shocked to read the news and to see
burning buildings in *this* country.
All Nederlandse must stand together now,
against this attack against their way of
life. Everybody.
Living next to the border, let them know
that we are with them.
Radical Muslims blow themselves up.
Hard-line Muslims buy the bombs for the Radicals.
Moderate Muslims write checks to the hard-liners.
It seems to me from my travels that the major problems are with many young, unassimilated Muslims who are very hostile to everyone non-Muslim and to western culture. In France, they pose a real threat to public order, in contrast to their elders who immigrated from Algeria, quietly practiced Islam, fit into society and often were very successful in business. A friend in Belgium told me that life in parts of his country is unbearable; Moroccan gangs exist even in the smallest villages and the population of radical young Muslims is exploding.
You didn't read teezle's post carefully, or see the articles about the response in Amsterdam.
There have been several anti-Islamist demos in Amsterdam *by Muslims*. And from what I've read, several hundred in attendance. Theo's film was itself inspired by *a Muslim* (OK, ex-Muslim) woman. And the vice mayor of Amsterdam - a Muslim - has threatened deportations and other measures against Islamists.
That reaction is greatly different from the utter silence of Muslims here in America, but don't confuse what's happening here to what's happening in Holland.
Please forgive my ignorance. It was my impression that radical Muslims started some of the church fires and attacks after the Muslim terrorists were arrested for murdering Theo Van Gogh.
Hi Teezle I worked in Zeist for a while and have been to Utrect a number of times. What I have been reading lately has been very bizarre given how open a society the Dutch are.
I am curious what has been posted on this site that you found incorrect? I have posted a number of stories regarding this situation and everything you have said had already been posted. Anyway thank you for clairifying the whole story for everyone.
Also can you claify something? I have read that a number of PM's and a television personality have been also threatened with their lives. What did they do to have their lives threatened?
Not in Fallujah. ;-)
there is a difference between being tolerant and being stupid ..Europe dosent know the difference yet..Look to OSAMA he SAID he will populate Europe and isolate America. He told us ALL , up front , what the plan is ..Keep it in mind my friend .
Very interesting read! Ping.
Thanks for the acknowledgements on my post.
I must say that most Dutch people see this is as the most recent and local cycle of the conflicts between the West and the East. I mention: Israeli conflict, US involvement in the M-East, 9-11, Iraq, beheadings.
I am still not willing to say that the Islam is the ONLY cause of this mess. I know quite some moderate Muslims that resent the fact that people are abusing Islam for their dispicable act.
As I said. Dutch people like to think in nuances... you will probably hate me for saying this but you cannot ignore the role of the West (most noticably the US) and its involvement in the M-East. Since this has been used to stir up Muslims.
In 800 the Arabic world was discussing how to interpret the Koran (was it really Gods word). It seems like the radicals have won that discussion but I hope that the moderates will prevail...
"there is a difference between being tolerant and being stupid "
I`m sure the Dutch know this.
My last trip to Amsterdam was summer 2001, when I almost had an altercation with a middle-Eastern dope seller who just couldn't take "No, I don't want it, go away" for an answer. He was quite belligerent that I didn't want his poison, and I finally had to stand up and stare him down before he left.
Wierd, have never had that experience anywhere else in the world, ever.
Thanks for your reply. As of now I and a lot of Dutch people are torn between the two opinions you mention. But as I said earlier I still hope moderate Muslims will prevail. They indeed have to start speaking up.
Let's see. You have a million Muslims in the Netherlands, apparently 800,000 legals and some 200,000 illegals. And for years you have offered your nation as a safe-haven for Islamists of the Algerian AIM, HAMAS, and other radical organizations. They operated freely, espcially in Rotterdam and Eindhoven. Ayman al-Zawahiri is known to travel on a Dutch passport. The Islamist Al Muwafaq foundation was active in Breda, in southern Holland, and the operation's leaders included at least two members placed on the US Department of Treasury hit list of radical Islamists. In 1998 the Dutch BVD (intelligence agency) linked the Al Waqf Al Islami foundation active in Holland to exteme Islam and terrorist movements. In Eindhoven the foundation used the notorious Al Furqan mosque to collect for Al Qaeda and desseminate Wahhabi propaganda. Al Furqan was a home away from home for at least six members of the 9/11 terrorist group that attacked the USA. The Al Aqsa charity in the Hague was closed and its assets frozen. I could use more bandwidth to make the point that the Dutch people and their political leaders, and not necessarily the Dutch police, have been soft on Muslim terrorists operating in Holland. But then you already know that. And you also know it is almost to late to reverse course in what most observers of interntional terrorism consider a bovine nation.

In context of this article, yes you are right. I was indeed mixing the action and reaction in the Netherlands with the deafening silence of the Muslims in America.
Thanks for your reply. If there was now Muslim reaction in the US after 9-11 that is a truly sad thing.
In NL every group has its own organisation and spokesman. Like "Morrocan Neighbourhood Fathers The Hague" to give an example. These organisations condemn the attack and say they want to live in a country in which people debate about matters (like the insults of Theo van Gogh). They are offended by the abuse of Islam.

Microsoft is working hard to make things better for the launch of Windows 7 following the lukewarm reception to Windows Vista. Vista was plagued with early hardware and software incompatibility issues that were one of the main reasons enterprise customers refused to migrate from XP.
Microsoft says that among the improvements in Windows 7 is better support for Hyper-Threading according to Microsoft's Bill Veghte. Veghte says that Microsoft has been working closely with Intel to beef up Windows 7's support for Hyper-Threading. Hyper-Threading it a technique used by Intel to allow processing tasks to be divided among multiple cores on a processor.
Veghte said at the Microsoft TechEd conference, "The work that we've done in Windows 7 in the scheduler and the core of the system to take full advantage of those capabilities, ultimately we think we can deliver a great and better experience for you. We need to make sure the ecosystem is really, really ready."
Veghte is keen to get people to understand that Windows 7 won't suffer from the same early problems Vista had that prevented the operating system from making headway in enterprise environments. He says that Windows 7 is "very, very close" to achieving full compatibility with virtually all hardware and software makers.
Microsoft currently expects to finish Windows 7 by mid-August and offer a final version to consumers and businesses by the holiday shopping season. That is a key target for Microsoft as a better operating system could woo consumers to buy new computers for the holidays. Better computer sales is certainly something that both Microsoft and computer makers need. Microsoft has admitted that Windows sales are down 16% in the most recent fiscal quarter.

Garnet Valley and great kickers just seem to go together.
A decade ago, Frank Zampardi was both a Division I-quality soccer player and a kicker in football for the Jaguars as well. He would later play soccer at Towson University.
Three years later, another soccer player, Dave Nicholl, boomed the ball for the Garnet Valley football team, too. He went on to star for the Temple University football team.

After a 13-3 season that saw them emerge as one of the NFL's best teams, the San Francisco 49ers could have been content to have a quiet offseason.
Instead, the Niners have been as busy as anyone in the 2012 free-agent period, making no fewer than six significant signings.
The squad also retained their most important free agents, including Alex Smith, Ahmad Brooks and Carlos Rogers.
Even factoring the departures of Blake Costanzo, Josh Morgan and even Adam Snyder, I would say the offseason has been kind to the 49ers.
Let's break down all of the signings so far.

My concert attendance:
Fall 2005 - The Tabernacle, Atlanta, GA.
Fall 2006 - The Tabernacle, Atlanta, GA.
Summer 2007 - Chastain Park, Atlanta, GA (with ASO).
Spring 2008 - The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA (Colin Only)
Fall 2008 - The Warfield, San Francisco, CA.
The first concert I went to in 2005 was full of hardcore Decemberists fans. There was a strength and power in the air from everyone knowing the words to every song. They opened with The Tain. The atmopshere was charged with plenty of room for breathing, jumping, and moving around. I was in the crowd near Thor, Mr. NPC, and some girls in the audience.
The 2006 concert was annoyingly crowded. The word had gotten out about The Decemberists and fair weather fans took over the experience. This was my first exposure to Colin performing his Culling of the Fold phone call maneuver. I was in the crowd near some girls asking me about the cartoon Peter and the Wolf.
The summer 2007 concert with the symphony was a blast. I had a front-row seat about 20 feet from the stage. The audience was full of summer concert series subscribers and I ended up seated next to two lame girls who didn't stand up or sing the entire time. This was the most age skewed Decemberists event I've attended.
Spring 2008 brings me to my first Colin Meloy only concert. Now we're back to mostly hardcore fans with great vocals emanating from the audience.
Fall 2008 is largely disappointing. Overcrowded venue coupled with too many people who don't know what to do ruined the mood. The energy of a Decemberists concert from 2005 isn't there anymore. Success is a bitch. I was standing next to a very tall gentleman and his girlfriend who were both strong Decemberists fans.

Nationally Distinguished Scholars and Leaders
Salt Lake City-September 9, 2002 -On Saturday, October 19, Westminster College will host the first coordinated, collective response to the two-year study, Greater Expectations: A New Vision for Learning as a Nation Goes to College, by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U).
Westminster's symposium, "Changes, Challenges, Choices: Undergraduate Education in the 21st Century," will consist of a panel of nationally distinguished scholars and higher education leaders discussing the changing nature of higher education. This interactive, innovative symposium, will help initiate the national conversation that will follow the release of the AAC&U's report at the end of September.
For the past two years, the AAC&U has been analyzing the societal challenges facing higher education. The initiative (Greater Expectations), culminated in an honest appraisal of the successes and failures in meeting those challenges. It argues that the current challenges require a radical rethinking of what we should expect from, and how we should provide, college education.
The symposium begins at 8:30 a.m. with an introduction of the panelists. Symposium attendees will then discuss specific topics in one-hour concurrent sessions led by national experts. The groups will again assemble for a 90-minute moderated roundtable discussion, where the session leaders will reflect the sentiments expressed in their individual concurrent sessions.
Concurrent session topics include: "Diversity as an Educational Resource," "The Changing Economics of Higher Education," "Values, Citizenship, and the Role of Liberal Learning," and "Student Learning: the Classroom and Beyond," a special session devoted to student concerns in which participants will read and discuss Richard J. Light's groundbreaking book Making the Most of College: Students Speak Their Minds (Harvard University Press, 2001).
Panelists include:
Robert H. Atwell - President Emeritus, American Council on Education (roundtable moderator)
Edgar Beckham - Senior Fellow, Association of American Colleges and Universities, Office of Diversity, Equity, and Global Initiatives
Cecelia H. Foxley - Commissioner of Higher Education, Utah
Alan E. Guskin - Co-Director and Senior Scholar, Project on the Future of Higher Education, Distinguished University Professor and President Emeritus, Antioch University
Evelyn Hu DeHart - Professor and Director, Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America, Brown University.
George D. Kuh - Chancellor's Professor of Higher Education, Indiana University
Jay Mathews - Washington Post education reporter and columnist
Rosalie Otero - President, National Collegiate Honors Council, Director of the Honors Program at the University of New Mexico
Carol Geary Schneider - President, Association of American Colleges and Universities
The symposium also coincides with the on-campus inauguration of Westminster's sixteenth president, Dr. Michael S. Bassis, a nationally known educator actively involved in the ongoing conversation on the quality of undergraduate education. His inauguration ceremony will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. following the symposium. For more information on either event, visit www.westminstercollege.edu.
Westminster College, Utah's only private, nondenominational, nonprofit college, prepares its students for personal and professional success through a foundation of liberal education, combined with professional programs that include vital technological and communication skills. U.S. News & World Report has ranked Westminster in the top tier of regional colleges and universities in the western United States for seven straight years.

The Huawei Ascend Mate, a 6.1 inch 1080p beast, gets impromptu introduction at a Huawei store
0. phoneArena 23 Dec 2012, 07:50 posted on
The 6.1 inch 1080p screen of the Huawei Ascend Mate was supposed to be introduced at CES, but when you have a beast like that in your pocket it is hard to keep quiet, so we can't really blame Huawei Chairman Richard Yu who gave the device an impromptu introduction at a Huawei store in Guangzhou; luckily, someone decided to record the event for prosperity...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

6.3 inches for Note 3, so your statement is hypocritical at best
49. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
It's going to be 5.8 incher with minimal bezel.
You don't know what you're talking about.
The 6.3 one will be a mini tablet
35. Jyakotu (Posts: 844; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
At this point, you might as well just get a tablet and call it a day. Why in the world would anybody want a 6.1" screen phone!?
76. Mobilephile (Posts: 149; Member since: 25 Nov 2012)
it wont be called just a phone anymore, these new devices are evolving into mini-tablets or tablet phones. Just like how the mp3 has converged with the phone, the phone will converge into the mini-tablet.
36. GoBears (Posts: 449; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
Well all the sissies that wear skinny jeans can cross this off their lists of potential phones lol.
47. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
yep, too damn right. All the wusses can't handle a real big screen, all that real estate for watching movies and multitasking is appreciated. Hence why the Note 2 rules all, but an even bigger screen I say, bring it on!
37. jed27 (Posts: 65; Member since: 09 Jun 2012)
Because covering half of your face when taking a call is what people want.

Iran/pakistan/India/Bangladesh/Afghanistan? So what? Your point?
39. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Not interested. Don't want to make myself look like a joker using this as a phone. I ain't going for anything more than 5 for sure unless those sizes become extinct. Who knows in 2020 I will be forced to switch to iPhone because of screen size :)
41. Techboi (Posts: 84; Member since: 20 Sep 2012)
They should of made it a 5in screen with the same specs, a lot of people would be interested
42. GoBears (Posts: 449; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
I think the Note series is going to top out at 6-6.5" with little to no bezel. I love big phones so anything under 7 I'd be willing to try. To each their own though. I'm just super glad Android gives us so many choices!
48. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
right with you there, buddy.

Huawei is just ruining the phablet categorie , someone has to stop this , and i know what is going to stop this , we all know actually : THE SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE III

not impressed with these tablets.....
58. skymitch89 (Posts: 1299; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
What I don't understand is why with all the increases in display size and resolutions why don't they allow more icons on the screen at a time.
69. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
They do. Look at the pics. This phone has a 5x5 grid of icons as opposed to the traditional 4x4. The original Note also has this functionality. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find this option on my Note 2. I don't think it exists on it.
62. loken (Posts: 462; Member since: 09 May 2012)
nice tablet..
72. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
If these kind of phone sizes keep on going, the note 3 might have a 6.3" screen as well and I'm sure samsung will do whatever it can to make it easy to operate on your hand and be a comfortable device on your pocket. Hope that pa can make a review of this huawei ascend mate!
73. MaineMan91 (Posts: 25; Member since: 26 Jul 2012)
yea this isnt a note 2 killer
75. Cha7520 (Posts: 221; Member since: 31 Oct 2010)
This phone is so stupid! I would be embarassed to carry around a phone that big! FAIL!

WYOMING – After suffering a physical loss to South Christian last week, the Wyoming girls basketball team stepped up their game in handing Rockford its first loss of the season Friday night at home. The Rams, to their credit, battled back in the fourth quarter after falling behind 47-35, but came up short in a 55-53 loss.
"I learned we can play with the best," said Wyoming coach Kirk Kambestad. "I thought it was a great game of two really good teams. Rockford is very good. They beat two conference champions from last year already, and we think we are pretty good too. Last week against South Christian we weren't happy with our performance, and obviously tonight we are. We beat a very good team."
The two teams were deadlocked through the first half of play. With eight lead changes and seven tie scores, it was 12-11 Wyoming after the first quarter and 26-26 at the half. The Wolves captured the lead after the half and maintained it, despite seeing a 12-point lead diminish down to one point.
"I'm proud of them for the way they fought back," said Rams coach Jessica Yonkers. "We didn't have a great shooting night tonight, but I think that we have to keep playing hard and get better."
As the game came down to the wire, both teams went to the line. Andrea Straw went 3-for-3 for Rockford to get the Rams to within one. Straw led all scorers with 15, while Sara Karamol scored 12 with six in the fourth quarter. Jaaliyah Arrington made seven of her night's total 11 in the fourth for Wyoming.
"Our point guard is out tonight with a concussion, so this was a good chance for us to see how other people step up, and what those roles look like," said Yonkers. "We didn't box out very well tonight. We gave them too many second chance opportunities. We let them get some easy fast breaks on defense because we didn't get back fast enough. Hopefully we learn from this."
Leading the way for the Wolves, Jaime Krasean ended the night with 13. From off the bench, Aliea Thrash scored eight and Jayla Branch nine.
"We have so many kids that can step up," said Kambestad. "Our bench effort tonight was amazing. Aliea Thrash was excellent, Jayla Branch. They did so many things to spark us, and we need that. We need to be a complete team, not just have our two all-conference players do everything.
"It was great how we bounced back after our loss to South Christian," he said. "South beat us up physically and beat us on the glass. We got back after it on Monday, and we focused on rebounding. Rockford just kept coming and coming and we were able to withstand it.
Both Wyoming and Rockford are 2-1 on the season.

In reply
Like Lehmann et al, our goal is to improve diets of low-income individuals, particularly those residing in dense urban and sparsely populated rural areas. The ultimate question is how to best achieve this goal.
Two other pieces of evidence bolster our reservations about the focus on supermarket access, without consideration of other driving factors. First, a natural experiment in the United Kingdom compared diet behavior before and after introduction of a supermarket in a food desert.1 Compared with a control community, no significant increases in fruit and vegetable consumption occurred. Second, a joint Institute of Medicine–National Academy of Sciences task force workshop (chaired by B.M.P.) on the public health impact of food deserts found limited evidence that placing supermarkets in food deserts alone would improve the diets of poor individuals.2 It is possible that providing supermarkets in isolation of other efforts may not change consumer behavior or improve health.

Doughy skin; Poor skin turgor; Good skin turgor; Decreased skin turgor
Home Care
A quick check of skin turgor by pinching the skin over the back of the hand, on the abdomen, or over the front of the chest under the collarbone is a good way to check for dehydration at home.
Mild dehydration will cause the skin to be slightly slow in its return to normal. To rehydrate, drink more fluids -- particularly water.
If turgor is severe, indicating moderate or severe dehydration, see your health care provider immediately.
Call your health care provider if
- Poor skin turgor occurs with vomiting, diarrhea, or fever.
- During a check of skin turgor the skin is very slow to return to normal, or the skin "tents" up. This can indicate dehydration that is severe enough to require immediate treatment.
- You have reduced skin turgor and are unable to increase your intake of fluids (for example, because of vomiting).
What to expect at your health care provider's office
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history, including:
- How long have you had symptoms?
- What other symptoms came before the change in skin turgor (vomiting, diarrhea, others)?
- What have you done to try to treat the condition?
- Did it make it better?
- Is it getting worse?
- What other symptoms do you have (such as dry lips,
decreased urine output, and decreased tearing)?
Tests that may be performed:
Blood chemistry(such as a chem-20) CBC Urinalysis

hi there. . . whazzup??do you have any information ;bout death note comic??? please,,tell me^_^
☆Death Note is by Tsugumi Obata from Japan.☆There is 12 volumes with 108 chapters.☆Main characters are: Light Yagami, L, Misa Amane, Mello, Near and Teru Mikami. Ryuk, Remu and Sidoh are main characters who is shinigami (Death Gods)That is kind of basic stuff I think XD
the Basic idea of it is a Shinigami (death god) drops a notebook into the human Realm called the Death note and a guy named Light yagami picks it up. the power of the death note is that whoevers name is written it is dies. It has a much deeper storyline than that of course, i really suggest watching the anime or buying the manga, they are truly great in my eyes. "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
Death Note is great, I just broke down and watched the rest of the series with subs. That was a good ending, but poor Light. :("Those who live in darkness wander aimlessly."
I watched the end of Death Note 2, but not with subs i hate those things, but it is a real shame what happened ro Light, but it just had to be done, he wuz going 2 far, that's all i am going to say don't want to spiol it.
The worst thing is though half the time i think what he did needs to be done in real life, but that's a really horrible outlook on life so sorry everyone. "Those who live in darkness wander aimlessly."
Knowledge is the light that shines and unveils the path to true wisdom and eternal bliss upon my throne in the kingdom of my domain... Deep..... got to appreciate the info The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
death note is really good. im so in love with it.dont ask. u should read it or watch it. like other pple comment said about basic info. i read 12 books [volumes] only in 6 days. 0_o:]
i kinda did the same, i got volumes 1 and 2 form borders then 3, 4, 9, and 10 in a half priced book store. i read 1-4 in about 2 1/2 days and i got 5 and 6 coming from ebay ^.^ jsut need 7,8,11, and 12 >.< so far i am in love with em as you have said, ive been watching the anime for some time and love that as well. I couldnt help myself when the lvie action movie came to the US, then i got the 2nd one from eBay lol "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
deathnote is really cool, when u start watching it, u won't wanna stop
this site has every detail about death note, you will be surprized at the end....just watch

Professional dual sportswoman Liz Halliday begins her 2012 Eventing season at Tweseldown next week (March 8th) following a breathlessly busy winter for the British-based Californian.
Halliday, who combines careers as a racecar driver and 3-Day Eventer, has invested considerable time in her burgeoning Chailey Stud Equestrian Centre over recent months. Acquired in December 2010, the East Sussex facility has continued to flourish, with a number of new liveries added and further improvements made to the 15-acre site over the winter.
Meanwhile Liz has remained competition sharp by participating in several combined training shows, ranking in the top-three throughout. She also attended the British Dressage Regional Championships and had an impressive 5th place result with Baloo (Darola Diamond) in what was a large and competitive class.
And there was more good news recently as Cooley (HHS Cooley) featured prominently in Horse & Hound, Britain's longest-running equestrian publication, following a sparkling run of dressage successes.
Liz Halliday: "I am really pleased with the way that Cooley, Baloo and all the horses have been going this winter. I am especially thrilled with 5th place at the Dressage Regional Championships as Baloo is a big horse and still young so it has taken him some time to settle into himself. I owe a lot to my sponsors ArcEquine as their micro current technology has completely changed his way of going and has made him so much more relaxed recently! I also need to thank Cyclo-ssage as we wouldn't go anywhere without our massage rug – it makes such a difference to the horses and their way of going."
Liz is now preparing in earnest for the new Eventing season which will begin at Tweseldown on March 8. It marks the start of a busy 2012 campaign for Halliday, who will combine her equestrian challenges with a full-time return to motorsport in the Lotus Cup UK championship.
"While the winter months are often a quieter time on most yards, Chailey Stud has been very busy! We have had a lot of horses in work preparing for the season, and it is also gratifying to see the work that we have put into the property beginning to pay off with an increase in liveries, lesson clients and school bookings.
"I'm really excited to be competing again at Tweseldown next week. We enjoyed ourselves there last year, so I'm hoping for better still this time. It will certainly be good to get the Eventing season underway and head into the spring months."

The 2014 NFL Draft is fast approaching, so I guess I better actually do something draft related. Today, we look into Vikings draft prospect Teddy Bridgewater, a QB from Louisville, and the first of many quarterbacks we'll be looking into for this draft. For reference, we'll continue to bring you some hot sexy draft prospect news in the days leading up to the Vikings 2014 draft selections on May 8, 2014. We'll be basing the priority of our previews on the draft priority board we created over the last month, which can be found here. Essentially it goes: linebackers, quarterback, cornerback, ALL THE DEFENSE, garbage bodies. Enjoy!
Teddy Bridgewater is probably sick of pre-draft talk by now. After the end of the college season, he was a consensus number one or number two pick in the draft, vying for first overall with super villain Jadeveon Clowney and his ESPN highlight reel antics. However. As the NFL Combine got closer, as his Pro Day rolled around, as people started to question just how skinny his knees were, he's dropped from a top two pick to someone who may not be picked until the second round, at best, despite the fact that as a Junior quarterback, he threw for almost 4,000 yards with a 9.3 yards per attempt, 31 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions.
What is wrong with people.
Not that I could find. Maybe that's why his draft stock is falling? But pictures of guys in tight shirts lifting weights has to count for something, right?
So what the hell is wrong with the guy? Why were people giving him free hand jobs one day, now white knuckling six layers of skin today? I think it's a classic case of prognosticators looking too much into shit that doesn't matter, but I'm just an asshole that started to look at the draft last week, not months ago. So, let's go to CBS Sports for the details. How about the good things:
Comes from a pro-style offense at Louisville, and was among the nation's leaders in all passing categories when facing blitzes. Naturally steps through his progressions, and keeps his eyes focused downfield with defenders closing in on him. Can manipulate the defense with his eyes. Shows very good weight distribution and passing mechanics. Steps into the face of pressure and delivers, showing admirable toughness on each snap to bounce back after big hits. Smooth mobility to extend and move the pocket with the quickness to pick up yards with his legs if needed. Impressive accuracy and touch on throws to all levels of the field, and displays good accuracy while on the move. Quick and efficient movements in his technique and does an excellent job with fakes, selling and focusing on the details. He is poised and with very good footwork in the pocket. Can keep defenses guessing with a sprinkling of read-option looks. Mature and grounded individual who obviously loves football. Sharp-witted and retains information extremely well. Makes it look easy on the field and appears to "get it," elevating the play of those around him.
Oh. Well that sounds pretty sweet. That sounds like a quarterback that you would maybe see in the NFL. Hey! The Vikings could use a quarterback that you usually would see in the NFL! Why not Bridgewater? (That's my segue to the "bad" portion):
Although quick, Bridgewater has a lower than ideal release point with the ball shooting passed his ear. Some durability concerns after all the hits he has taken over his career, specifically to his wrist and ankle. He's mobile enough to extend plays, but isn't a true dual-threat quarterback. Room to improve his touch and ball placement on downfield throws. Strong performances in big games including against Florida in the Sugar Bowl following the 2012 season, but played mediocre talent on a weekly basis in the American Athletic Conference.
They go on to say Bridgewater's best comparison is Russell Wilson. You know, the QB who won a Super Bowl in his 3rd season? With a sick defense, but whatever. Bridgewater has tiny wrists and ankles. DON'T DRAFT HIM, VIKINGS!!
This is why I hate people. Bridgewater is a pretty damn good football player, and deserves to go to any team that needs help sooner than later at the quarterback position, much like the Vikings. Imagine watching a young guy at quarterback, going through his progressions, and running a soft read-option look with Adrian Peterson. Now, go clean your pants up, because you just spilled your seed. Now, depending on who you ask, Bridgewater is either going to be picked in the top six, or he's dropping all the way to the second round. For whatever reason, he's been gutted by analysts these past two weeks, which makes me think the Vikings might have a chance to let him drop in their lap at eight. But the reality is that quarterback hungry teams like the Rams, Jags, Browns, Oakland, and Tampa Bay ALL pick in front of the Vikings. SO GLAD WE WON A COUPLE MORE MEANINGLESS GAMES. Stupid Vikings.
So? Is Bridgewater the quarterback you want in this draft?

Plans for resurfacing Kahului Airport's main runway would lead to late-night jet takeoffs from the airport's secondary runway and cause "serious and substantial" noise impacts on Spreckelsville residents, according to their attorney.
Last month, Wailuku attorney Isaac Hall submitted a notice of an appeal to the Maui Planning Commission. It seeks to overturn the Aug. 14 determination by Planning Director Will Spence that the runway repair project is exempt from a requirement to get a special management area permit.
According to the appeal, Spence maintained that the project was exempt from an SMA permit because the runway repair "constitutes 'nonstructural improvements to existing commercial structures.' ''
Hall said the exemption is erroneous because "this exemption was not intended to be applicable to a runway resurfacing project costing $5 million."
In an email Tuesday afternoon, Spence said: "The exemption was granted in accordance with all applicable laws, including the special management area rules for the Maui Planning Commission and the Coastal Zone Management Act."
Hall appealed the planning director's waiver of the SMA permit for the project on behalf of Spreckelsville residents James Bendon, April Nims and Peter Siracusa of Laulea Place; and Robert and Margaret Kaplan and Cyrus Monroe of Cane Place.
Repair work to Kahului's main 7,000-foot runway, 2-20, would close it from midnight to 8 a.m. and move night flights for at least 10 weeks to runway 5-23, according to the appeal. That would mean jet aircraft would be taking off over the Spreckelsville residents, awakening them from sleep "and deprive them of the sleep required for good health," according to the appeal.
Hall is asking the Maui Planning Commission to determine that the SMA exemption "is invalid, void and of no force or effect."
"Any development or construction based upon this illegal exemption must cease, and the project site restored to its original condition prior to the issuance of this illegal exemption. Penalties and fines must be imposed, as allowed by law," the appeal says.
An official notice of the SMA exemption appeal was on the Maui Planning Commission's agenda Tuesday. No action was taken.
In an email Wednesday afternoon, DOT spokeswoman Caroline Sluyter said the department's Airports Division has been working with a community representative to address nearby residents' concerns about work on runway 2-20, which she called "a vital link to the island for residents, visitors and goods that are flown in."
The Airports Division "continues to welcome discussions with the affected residents," she said. "Although we cannot completely stop all of the noise associated with this project, we are working to create a balance between the construction that needs to be done to ensure a safe, working runway and neighbors' concerns," Sluyter said.
In June, Gov. Neil Abercrombie released $6 million - $4.75 million for construction and $1.25 million for environmental impact statement studies - for work to repave Kahului Airport's main runway, 2-20.
Airport officials called the repaving work a "short-term fix" to allow operations to continue running smoothly at Kahului Airport.
Kahului's main runway was built in 1942 and has had asphalt overlays five times - in 1969, 1972, 1981, 1995 and 2000. In 2006, 2 inches were milled from the runway's surface and filled. The current project calls for replacing 3 inches from the runway surface, work that's expected to extend the runway's life for another five to 10 years.
In 2009, the Federal Aviation Administration notified the Department of Transportation that federal funds would no longer be available for ongoing piecemeal patching of the runway. A 2011 study of three repair options found that the runway was deteriorating with cracks, and there was an increase in foreign object debris that could severely damage aircraft.
Also, patchwork repairs were costing the state $1 million per year.
Work has begun on an environmental impact statement for a more permanent fix to the airport runway.
Freight and cargo carriers like Aloha Air Cargo and UPS Inc. usually land in the early-morning hours, transportation officials have said, adding that those carriers' flights would be rescheduled during construction.

Some Internet Explorer users may experience an issue where the browser "freezes" during the initial install of the new Advanced Picture Uploader. This issue is caused by incompatible IE add-ons installed on user machines. Every time new IE add-ons are about to be installed in the system (including Image Uploader ActiveX), IE iterates through all IE add-ons installed on a machine (it is some internal logic of IE). If some of them have problems with Data Execution Prevention (DEP) compatibility the aforementioned problem can arise.To resolve the issue, install the Image Uploader ActiveX control via the standalone Advanced Image Uploader (Internet Explorer 32 bit version). For the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer, you must install the 64 bit version of the Advanced Image Uploader x64. Once you click on the link from IE, you will be prompted to either Run or Save. Click on 'Run' to allow the software to be installed. The software will be shown as coming from Aurigma, Inc. and is safe. Once the installation starts, follow the install steps and accept all of the defaults. Once completed, it may ask that you restart your system in order for the changes to take affect.Once these steps have been completed, you should be able to list an item and successfully upload new pictures via the Advanced Image Uploader. To reiterate, these steps are only necessary for users running Internet Explorer that experience the issue mentioned above. No other browsers are affected.
There is a known compatibility issue between Safari and the Advanced Image Uploader. If you would like to use the Advanced Image Uploader, please use a supported browser such as Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer.
Please note that we have upgraded to a new version of the Advanced Image Uploader in order to resolve some browser compatibility issues. This will cause your browser to ask for permission to Install / Run the needed files in order for the updated Advanced Image Uploader to work. This is a one time install that will display the first time that you attempt to access the new Advanced Image Uploader.Some browsers may provide an option to not display the message again. If you see this, please be sure to place a check in that box or it will prompt you each time you access the new Uploader. These files are completely safe and are only being downloaded to allow the new Uploader the ability to properly run.

We seek papers for a session we are organizing for the annual meeting of the North American Conference on British Studies (Portland, Oregon, October 24-26, 2003) on the significance of recent exhibitions of British art that have debuted in Great Britain but subsequently traveled abroad. Indeed, as exhibitions of British art circulate outward from Great Britain, what kinds of Britishness do they advance and constitute? What does the art afford venues in which it appears? How can we make sense of the fact that text accompanying exhibitions of British art traveling internationally eludes questions of Britishness that so many artists and scholars active today in Great Britain, in other words, domestically, emphasize in relation to citizenship and ethnicity? For example, "Exposed: The Victorian Nude" debuted at Tate Gallery Britain (2001), after which it traveled to Munich. Currently it can be seen at the Brooklyn Museum, from where it will travel to Japan. In regard to the exhibition itself and also as the exhibition engages with the many venues in which it appears, what does "Exposed" reveal or suppress about recent scholarship reframing British imperialism, colonialism, and nationalism, as well as the conceit that "it is still the case that when people think of Britain they instinctively think of white people, and believe that Britain belongs to them"? (Bhikhu Parekh, "Changing What it Means to be British," The Daily Telegraph, 18 October 2000) In that Britains "belong to different religions and regions, and cherish their Scottish, Yorkshire, Welsh, Irish, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Protestant identities," to what extent - internationally and/or domestically – does "Exposed" "foster a common sense of belonging among these groups [thus forging] a single national community with a firm sense of collective purpose and identity"? (Parekh, 2000)
Please e-mail your abstract (300 word limit) and cv (2 page limit) to both Jennifer Way (below) and Sara-Jayne Parsons (firstname.lastname@example.com.)
Deadline: January 16, 2003

Super Mario 3D Land Marries Nostalgia With Cool 3D Effects
(Nintendo 3DS)
Find out how Mario's first 3DS game is coming along.
It's safe to assume that the first stages of any Mario game are a cakewalk, and although level 1 - 2 was no exception, it wisely borrows familiar inspirations from the original Super Mario Bros. The first stage I play begins in the familiar blue brick-lined depths of the Mushroom Kingdom, and plays to your nostalgia with stage music that's a variation of the SMB underground theme.
Obviously this isn't the first Mario game that dabbles in borrowing creatively from the series' exceptional past, but what I see today touches on a larger point made recently by Shigeru Miyamoto in a TGS video interview with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. In it Miyamoto points out that the levels of Super Mario 3D Land are purposely linear, and meant to evoke a feel similar to Mario's 2D adventures.
The linear structure of this new Mario adventure means there's only one way to go, but there are still secrets to find. Like New Super Mario Bros. there are three hidden coins located in each stage, and discovering their secret locations seems targeted at obsessive collectors.
In contrast to the last stage, World 1 - 3 takes place high above the ground and gives me an opportunity to try the new (slightly nerfed?) Tanooki suit -- a power up that hasn't appeared in a SMB game since Mario's third. By now you've already heard that Tanooki Mario can't fly or transform into an invincible statue, but using the powerup allows me to swat nearby enemies with a familiar tail attack and slowly glide after jumps. I use it to carefully descend from platform to platform as I find my way down this very high pillar stage. Standing on a special green tile near the beginning grants lets me a pair of binoculars and transitions the camera to a first person view. Similar to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, I can then manipulate my new view using the 3DS's built in gyro controls or the analog slider. I can also zoom in and out with the shoulder buttons to find special items and scan the challenges ahead. On my second playthrough of the stage, I discover a second way down the platform that leads to a hidden coin.
The stages of Super Mario 3D Land I see today carefully jumble familiar bits and pieces of previous games in the series, and blend them into brief bite-sized levels with impressive 3D effects. There's also an effective cross breeding of New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Galaxy at work here -- and considering how well NSMB sold over Galaxy, I guess I shouldn't be that surprised. The 3D stages look great on the 3DS's viewing screen and let you see just enough of the environment to make assumptions, but still find hidden spaces.
The last two stages I see continued to tap into Mario's past. Stage 1 - 4 feels like a proper side scrolling stage, but in a strange twist I'm in full control. A platform I stand on controls the progression and direction -- I step on one button to go back and the other to go forward. Obviously Nintendo knows what they're doing, and selecting the Super Mario Bros 3 Athletic theme as stage music helps push that vibe even further. The first castle stage I encounter follows the conventional approach; with plenty of lava, spinning columns of fire, and enemies to avoid. It all ends with a Bowser fight on a bridge that drops the popular villain into the lava below when Mario hits a switch. Yeah, I bet you didn't see that coming either.
At this stage, Super Mario 3D Land looks likely to deliver on Nintendo's bold promise of combining 3D and 2D Mario history into a fun adventure; and being developed by the Mario Galaxy team continues to inspire confidence. The stages of my demo were fairly easy and short, and to further shame my reputation I'll admit to falling into at pit at least once on each stage -- I'm still living that down., But let's remember that they're just that; early levels -- and not meant to be very challenging at all. Hopefully we'll all bask in the real fun when Nintendo pries their grip from the game for its upcoming release date.

When can we just have Super Mario World 3Posted: Sep 21, 2011 12:00AM PST by disenfranchised89
Super Mario World allowed for the best control and while not as difficult as SMB 3 it provided many hardcore challenges. It still is the best looking Mario game in my opinion and I would pay 40 for an expanded adventure.
Damn...Posted: Sep 14, 2011 12:00AM PST by octoberfleshed
this is going to pry me away from Zelda (and Gears 3) this holiday....
looks goodPosted: Sep 14, 2011 12:00AM PST by orinomega
I'm a sucker for most mario games. I love the level design and powerups. This game is looking like another great mario title. I just hope its not too easy like NSMBW. That game took all of a few hours to kill. Even the extras didnt extend it too much. If its like galaxy 2 then i'll be happy.
I'm worriedPosted: Sep 14, 2011 12:00AM PST by EKGTrooper
Not that the game won't be good, but that it will be short. Let's face it. The 3DS isn't doing well and all Nintendo has been able to give us is ports and completely rushed games up to this point. Ocarina of Time and Star Fox are just ports. Steel Diver and Pilot Wings Resort were rushed, short games that felt like every possible corner was cut to get them on store shelves.
Nintendo is quite obviously rushing to get games on to store shelves and I am almost positive this will mean a 5 hour Mario game. Considering Galaxy 1 & 2 were easily over 20 hours, I spent 30 in Galaxy 2 alone and had a blast (got every star, even hidden ones after beating the game).
With Super Mario Land 3D I just know it is going to be over too soon. I know Nintendo is rushing it out the door before Christmas. I just know it won't even last more that two sessions. Mark my words.
64 Levels. Think about it.Posted: Sep 14, 2011 12:00AM PST by BadShaman
The demo's had 1-1 formula, ya know, World X Stage X. Nintendo always does this formula, and where does it end? World 8, Stage 8, giving a total of 64 stages, PLUS there are SEVERAL CHALLENGING paths to take within each stage (See Shigeru Miyamoto Interview).
FINALLY, They will most likely add more secret stages after words, and a bonus REPLAY of the entire game on a harder mode, or playing as Luigi.
Trust me dude, they know what they are doing.
ThosePosted: Sep 14, 2011 12:00AM PST by sepewrath
are console games, they are designed completely different from a handheld game. Even the longer games on handhelds are designed to be played in short spurts, so if your expecting Galaxy 2 on the handheld, then yeah you are going to be disappointed. It has nothing to do with rushing it out, that is just how the game is designed.
looking goodPosted: Sep 14, 2011 12:00AM PST by !!egm4ever!!
