Yokai Monsters: Vol. 1: Spook Warfare
This Japanese take on vampire lore centers on a demon named Daimon, who's awakened when thieves plunder his ancient tomb. The bodiless vampire heads to a village in Japan, where he takes over the soul of Lord Isobe, an important landowner -- and soon, Isobe is devouring fellow villagers. But one local man suspects the supernatural and consults the local benevolent spirits known as Yokai, who help save Isobe and the village.

This longspur nest, among polygons of low hummocks, was bordered by mosses and grasses nine inches high.
The finest singing bird in the country is the Lapland longspur.
The increase of juveniles there caused the longspur to be the most common bird in the field (50 per cent in abundance).
Although the longspur on the Arctic Slope is the most common bird, it is absent from some areas there.
The longspur is a ground feeder, and the mark of his long hind claw, or spur, can often be seen in the new snow.
While the colors of adult males are very different in the longspur family, the females have a decided resemblance.
Among the species which thus modify their habits are the red crossbill, the redpoll, the Lapland longspur, and the snowy owl.

Hi all! I apologise if I'm responding to the wrong thread here, I'm new to The Student Room and decided to sign up tonight in regards to tomorrows English Language exam.
Thanks for all your comments! I've not been fully able to concentrate on solid revision tonight for various reasons, and this has calmed me down massively. I am going for an A/A* on the WJEC board, and I was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat, or if this is solely based on AQA English Language. My issue is based on the time, I find that 12 minutes for the first question (max) is cutting it extremely short, so I'm praying that tomorrows paper isn't too difficult to write about.
Wishing you all the best of luck!

For reading, get a newspaper out and annotate all the features you can see. Look at how the images add to the effectiveness of the text as well as title and subtitle. Are the images ironic, or do they show the scale of something or something else? Could the image have alternative meanings?
After you have done this, you have to know your exam. Here is how it goes:
1. Question 1 should be quite simple. You have to explain what you have learnt from a text, which is basically rewriting the article in your own words with a few quotes. For example, on an article about drought in the UK, "I learnt/(as a reader, one learns) that the drought situation is extremely severe in the UK due to the fact that some parts of the country have 'less rain than North Africa'. Furthermore these are the places where most of the population lives, resulting in a high demand for a low amount of water; resulting in hosepipe bans and possibly other water-related restrictions".
2. This question will ask about how the headline, sub-headline and image relate to the text. Look for the features I talked about above. For example (an article in a past paper about a dinosaur dying of a sore throat), "the image is ironic as it demonstrates the massive size of the fearsome dinosaur yet it was killed by what we would think was a minor infection. This adds to the effectiveness of the text as it illustrates how shocking the discovery was due to the dinosaur's size and the small infection that caused it's downfall."
3. Question 3 will ask you to describe the different emotions the person felt through the text (or something similar). This is similar to Question 1, apart from you have to interpret yourself what the text means. For example (about rushing back to Base Camp on Everest), "the fact that he dropped his backpack on the mountain reflects the urgency of the situation, as it demonstrates how he must move quickly in order to survive; not being weighed down by his backpack."
4. Question 4 is worth double the marks, and asks you to compare two texts in terms of language. While reading the texts it might be a good idea to annotate them for linguistic features so that you do not have to re-read both texts again when it comes to this question. Make sure that you explain how the language affects the reader. For example, "Taylor uses short sentences to demonstrate how thrilling rafting is. This is because the short sentences represent her replies when she is out of breath, when she is being asked about what she felt like when she fell into the rapids. "It was scary. It was exciting" illustrates her short responses due to her shock and excitement of falling into to the Colorado River. On the other hand, Black used short sentences to create tension in the reader; "The avalanche came straight at us." The short sentences represent the short moment of thought before the avalanche hit, and demonstrate the fear that the hikers must have been feeling".
Writing Q5 and 6- for these questions you have to make yourself sound like you are telling the truth in Q5, and for Q6, make sure you have a strong argument. Whilst writing these, be aware of the features that you are using (this is what you will be marked for). Add similes where you can, a few (not more than 2 ideally) rhetorical questions and the power of three like I have just used. Also, beware of structure add in a one-line paragraph at the end and try to link the first paragraph to the conclusion (maybe by a rhetorical question).
I would spend 12 mins each on Q1, 2 and 3 and 24 mins of Q4. Spend 25 mins for Q5 and 35 mins for Q6 and 15 mins to check over work and for reading.
I hope this has helped you, and eased your nerves a little before the exam Good luck!
I also did a mock paper 3 weeks ago in class about the exact paper you just reviewed in detail. It's good reading something that I can relate to. :P
Good luck to everyone in the exams today!

Pontiac Problems? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Greetings and Welcome to Just answer.
To clarify one thing, the wheel bearing assembly is the hub. But these are easy to change. Take the center nut off, take the rotor and caliper off, then remove the ABS connector and the 3 bolts from the back. The you can tap the hub assembly out and replace it. These are one of the easiest to change. It should take about 30 mins.
There are 4 bolts from the front. You put the socket through the hole in the face of the hub.
torx bolts , would a cresent wrench be the best for the nuts on the rear? there is not much room to use a regular wrench or a socket
thru the hole are torx heads,in the back the lower 2 nuts are hard to get any good bite, would a cresent wrench help?
i am just doing the wheel cylinder and i cant get it in between the back plate and lugnut assembly.
It was only supposed to be an easy fix of a front break line and system bleed, but the bleed valves on the rear brakes are rusted away
OK, if the front brake line only was opened and the system did not go low, then it should not have got air in the back.
Anyway, once you get those small torx bolts off, you can remove it after taking the shoes off. You do not need to remove the hub for this. Sorry, I ended up at the conclusion that the bearing was out.
the assembly is off , now i have to seperate the two peices so i can get the cylinder on the back plate
the brake line was blown while it was being driven. the system is empty. all 4 brakes have to be bled. i cannot get the new cylinder between lug and the back plate, what is the best way to do this?
The hub is off the car with the backing plate? Then it should just tap apart. The bolts that hold the hub also hold the backing plate.
Do not tap the sensor, rather tap the backing plate or the back fo the hub flange. The sensor is plastic and you will daamge it.
If you are not hitting the whole thing too hard, no. The fluid, just clean it out as best you can after.
ok thanks. ill give it a try
a big job for a small hose

Volume 13, Issue 5: Magistralis
Gregory C. Dickison
In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis wrote of men without chests. He argued that those who deny objective beauty and tell us that our response to beauty is only a personal and unimportant subjective experience of emotion, are essentially cutting out our hearts. We are left to be driven by appetite and intellect, without sentiment, and without the ability to delight in truth, beauty, and goodness.

MANAMA: Islamic liquidity management and financing were discussed at a key forum held in Bahrain.
The Bahrain Financial Exchange (BFX) and Bursa Malaysia organised a forum which also discussed contemporary issues relating to commodity Murabaha transactions and Tawarruq practices.
The forum was part of a two-day event marking the inauguration of a commercial relationship between the two exchanges.
The underpinning for this relationship is to provide financial products to Islamic market participants and strengthen bilateral ties between both organisations.
The event, held at the BFX offices, attracted over 50 key players from the Islamic financial markets and was attended by three eminent Sharia scholars within the industry.
Dr Mohammed Ali Elgari, Shaikh Nizam Yaqubi and Bursa Malaysia Sharia adviser Dr Aznan Hasan participated with the objective of providing insights and expert opinion on the concept of Tawarruq and its application and practices to facilitate Islamic liquidity management and financing.
"The use of Tawarruq and its role in money markets and risk management is important in further developing the industry and through discourses such as this, we hope to provide industry participants with greater understanding of the concept from a Sharia perspective as well as its commercial importance," said Bursa Malaysia global head of Islamic markets Raja Teh Maimunah Raja Abdul Aziz, who was also the moderator for the panel discussion,
The event also introduced a newly developed regulated Islamic commodity trading platform to industry participants specifically designed to facilitate Islamic financing and liquidity management aimed at tightening the application and enhancing integrity of Tawarruq practices.
Tawarruq is a sale of an asset to a purchaser on deferred payment with an onward sale by the purchaser to a third party on cash.
"It gives me great pleasure to host such a high-profile panel and audience from the Islamic finance community," BFX director Arshad Khan said.
"I am confident I can say from all involved, that this was an extremely informative and thought-provoking discussion with the practitioner community."


text: Matt Smith: "If my Doctor had carried on he'd have become a bit meaner" The former Doctor Who actor was joined by his one-time co-star Karen Gillan to discuss their experience of the Whoniverse... Comments Written By Susanna Lazarus 4:01 PM, 23 June 2014 When Matt Smith handed the reins over to Peter Capaldi last Christmas, many a Whovian tear was shed. Amy Pond's Raggedy Man was a fan favourite thanks to his kooky mannerisms, kind heart and quirky dress sense. But, according to Smith, the Eleventh Doctor might not have remained so good-natured had he continued in the role. "If my Doctor had carried on he'd have become a bit meaner and a bit tougher," the show's former star revealed at last weekend's Wizard World Comic Con. "The universe would have weighed on his shoulders a little more which would have been cool." "Damn, I should have stayed," he added, jokingly. Smith was joined at the Phildadelphia event by his former co-star and good friend Karen Gillan who played companion Amy Pond until her departure with Arthur Darvill in September 2012. So, what could Amy have done if the Scottish actress had chosen to remain in the Whoniverse? "Maybe there could be a series where we see Amy in therapy when she went through four psychiatrists," she suggested. "She's talking about the Raggedy Man and they're like, 'You're crazy!'" Like the sound of that? Well, you've got a fan in the audience to thank for an even better suggestion. What if the pair were to switch places with Karen playing the Doctor and Matt as her assistant...? "Wow, we should ask Steven [Moffat] if we can make that episode." Good suggestion, Matt Smith. Get Moffat on the line. "Yes, that means I'm a kissogram," he added, to plenty of applause from the audience. Now, that's something we'd all like to see, including his flame-haired co-star. "You're hired," she declared. Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

Dirty Harry is just about one of my all time favourite films, and in fairness the sequels are good, so well worth buying.
For those of you who don't know Dirty Harry, he is Clint Eastwood's masterpiece of acting. A San Francisco Inspector who lost his wife, turning him into an unstoppable justice machine who barely operates within the law with his Magnum 44. He doesn't always believe the law is right but does respect it to a point. When he believes the law is failing, he has no problem in taking the law into his own hands.
There are five films in total.
'Dirty Harry' is the first and the best. Following a shooting, Dirty Harry is called in and finds that the city is being held to ransom by a man known only as Scorpio (stunningly played by Andy Robinson), who is a psychopath and will kill until the city pays him to stop. It becomes a battle of wits, and Dirty Harry tries several traps to catch the killer, only to be told that he has no evidence because the gun was obtained without a warrant from a judge. Dirty Harry flips, and goes on a final personal vendetta to kill Scorpio when he takes a school bus hostage, leading to one of the greatest showdowns and arguably Clint Eastwood's single best line in any film.
The second film is a weaker sequel, but is still very entertaining. Magnum Force follows Dirty Harry as he tries to catch four vigilante cops who are killing criminals, questioning the justice system and asking what happens when the law fails. This leads to a tense confrontation with his own superior, who in a twist turns out to be a vigilante himself.
The third film is the Enforcer, and follows Harry and his new partner as they try to catch the murderers of the Mayor's aids and the kidnappers of the city's Mayor. The evidence suggests a radical movement, something that becomes clear when they find a corrupt Pastor, who points them in the direction of Alcatraz island, where there is again another famous finale.
Sudden Impact is in many ways the best sequel. Dirty Harry is pitched against someone much like himself. A woman (Sondra Locke, on good form) wants revenge on the men who raped her and her sister. As she returns to kill those responsible, Dirty Harry begins to suspect her, but through getting to know her decides in the end to plant the evidence on the dead psychopath who raped her, letting her go free on the understanding if she commits another crime he will come after her.
Finally, there is The Dead Pool, which is also a good sequel, though not brilliant. It follows Harry and his new partner as they try to find a killer who is targeting famous people all written on a list created by a film director (Liam Neeson, in one of his very first film roles).
Overall, these provide some great entertainment, some truly thought provoking moments and some interested social commentary. The most important question is asks is what happens when the law fails.
Easily the best film cop of all time, Dirty Harry is truly worth buying.

Sounds Double Up Sky Sox, 4-2, In Front Of Packed House
Caleb Gindl Drives In Three Of Four Nashville Runs
By Nashville Sounds | July 24, 2014 11:28 PM ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Nashville Sounds defeated the Colorado Springs Sky Sox by a 4-2 count in front of a packed house of 9,202 fans on Thursday evening at Greer Stadium.
The first-place Sounds (56-50) took three of four from the Sky Sox in the series to extend their division lead to 2 1/2 games over New Orleans and Round Rock.
Outfielder Caleb Gindl drove in three of the four Sounds runs on the night.
Mike Fiers (8-5) earned a win for the second straight outing by limiting the Sky Sox to one run on five hits while striking out seven batters over his 5 2/3 innings of action. With the seven punchouts, Mike Fiers took over the Pacific Coast League lead with 122 K's on the year.
The Sounds grabbed an early lead on Gindl's two-out, two-run single in the bottom of the first inning. Nashville loaded the bases on an Irving Falu double followed by a pair of walks issued by Sky Sox starter Pedro Hernandez before Gindl delivered the go-ahead knock.
Colorado Springs got a run back in the third with a two-out rally against Fiers. After the first two batters of the frame were retired, the visitors pieced together three consecutive two-out singles, the last of which by Kyle Parker cut Nashville's lead to 2-1.
Nashville increased its lead to 4-1 in the fifth with a pair of two-out runs. With the bases full of Sounds, Gindl plated his third run of the night by drawing a walk to force home Pete Orr. Matt Clark, who had singled earlier in the frame, scored the second run of the inning when he raced home on a wild pitch.
The Sky Sox closed out the night's scoring in the top of the eighth when Cristhian Adames doubled against Sounds reliever Arcenio Leon and later scored on a two-out Matt McBride single.
Alfredo Figaro recorded the final four outs for the Sounds to close out the victory and nail down his first save of the year.
The Sounds continue their homestand on Friday evening by hosting the Oklahoma City RedHawks (AAA-Astros) in the 7:05 p.m. opener of a four-game series. Right-hander Taylor Jungmann (4-5, 5.64) will toe the slab for Nashville and face Oklahoma City southpaw Tommy Shirley (0-1, 8.03).

Because in mathematics the usual convention is to indicate a left to
right direction with a positive number. The number line is oriented
from left to right, a function with a positive derivative is increasing,
not decreasing, a vector with components (1,0,0) is the positive

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag – Everything We Know So Far
Assassin's Creed could be setting sail on a pirate-themed adventure for the next game in the series, Black Flag.
NowGamer picks apart all the rumours, images and speculation to bring you a go-to guide to Assassin's Creed 4 so far.
Pirate Setting & Time Period
Leaked images online show a poster which seems to prove the next Creed will be all about the pirate's life and set in 1715.
This suggests the game will take one of Assassin's Creed 3's redeeming features – its ship-based combat on the high seas – and expand it into a full experience, with a stylistic sheen of piracy on top.
We'd expect missions set across several islands, with you free to sail your ship between ports, discover coastal towns, engage in open-seas battles and explore the area from behind the wheel of your enormous ship, perhaps discovering hidden islands or reaching the edge of the world, Pirates Of The Carribean 3 style.
The Carribbean Islands
The leaked map (revealed on the same site) shows we'll be treated to exploring at least the Carribbean, with areas including Havana, the coastlands of Florida, Andreas. the Cayman Islands and Cape Bonavista.
Though this cluster of lands looks like it could pack plenty of variety, it does still seem fairly small, so we wouldn't be surpised if other sets of islands also surfaced, each group of islands behaving like one 'city' did in GTA:San Andreas (perhaps with more islands being added as DLC).
Rumours suggest Jamaica, Cuba and the Bahamas could also make their way into the game, each sure to offer a tonal and stylistic shift from the last.
Ubisoft has already confirmed a new character will be introduced in Assassin's Creed 4, doing away with Connor after only one title.
According to rumblings, the main character's name is Edward Kenway, father of Haytham Kenway from the third game.
Edward is supposedly a privateer, assassin and pirate, rolled into one – sure to be an interesting mix of traits which should work well for a new, pirate-based story.
Cross-Gen Release
Black Flag is allegedly already running on Xbox 360, but we'd be very surprised if Ubisoft wasn't targeting every major console including PS3, PC, Wii U and currently unreleased systems such as PS4 and Xbox 720, with the next-gen versions potentially scaled off a higher-spec PC game.
Creed games usually drop at Christmas, but given Ubisoft's announcement that the title will fall in the next financial year (so, before 1 April 2014), it's equally likely the game won't release until next spring, especially considering Ubisoft hasn't officially shown any screens yet.
Rumours circling the interweb allege the next Assassin's could pack in a co-op drop-in, drop-out campaign mode.
It's an idea the devs have toyed with in the past during development, but never implemented.
Talking to OXM, Assassin's Creed mission director Philippe Bergon recently revealed the 2007 title once featured an 'ambitious' co-op mode but it was later shelved.
He said: "Before we knew about the Desmond story and Animus link, we had a huge co-op component in there but it just became too hard to do: the engine couldn't support it, and then the metaphor we had above it didn't support it.
"Co-op was one of those big things at the beginning that just didn't make sense in the end. For us it was really part of the single player experience. "To have in-and-out co-op, and in the end we never thought it made sense in the storyline that we had for the Animus."
It Was Leaked On An Aeroplane
About a month ago, a user on Reddit claimed to have seen Black Flag and its logo on the laptop screen of someone in front of them. Given this week's leaks, it looks like they were right.
Credit where it's due: "I was on a flight where the lady in the row in front of me was working on a powerpoint presentation on marketing strategies of several gaming titles.
"And one that stood out the most was AC4: Black Flags, aimed for release 2013 Holiday season according to her slide. It already had a cool looking logo for it."
Around that time, NowGamer put together a set of info about the game based on Ubisoft's teases – read it here.

Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today after the U.S. Senate passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008/Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008/Tax Extenders and Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008
"The U.S. Senate came together tonight in a bipartisan fashion to address one of the most critical economic challenges we have faced in generations. And we have sent a clear message that we will not let this economy fail for any American.
"This is not a perfect bill by any means, but it is much improved from the Administration's initial proposal. It will help stabilize our economy and protect Main Street from the crisis on Wall Street. It also cuts taxes for middle-class families and creates jobs here at home.
"The American people have a right to be frustrated with the situation we face. But inaction is not an option – which is why we have worked expeditiously and in a bipartisan manner to stop a bad situation from getting worse.
"It is my expectation that the House of Representatives will follow suit. We all understand that this process has not been easy, but passage of a responsible answer to this crisis is now in sight."

75 per cent polling in Madurai bypoll
June 26, 2007 10:38 IST
Last Updated: June 26, 2007 21:01 IST
The by-election to the Tamil Nadu Assembly from Madurai-West constituency ended peacefully with a polling percentage of 75.34 per cent, state Chief Electoral Officer Naresh Gupta said in Madurai on Tuesday night.
The final polling percentage was four per cent higher than that of 2006 Assembly polls, he told reporters.
Gupta said that there were some minor incidents adding, these did not interfere with the poll process.
He said deployment of paramilitary forces in polling booths helped in peaceful conduct of the election. The state police also did a good job in maintaining law and order, he added.
Complaints have been received from various parties, including the Desiya Murpokku Dravidar Kazhagam about bogus voting and they would be taken note of, the official said.
He dismissed the view that the Election Commission had taken too many steps unnecessarily for the bypoll, leading to some political parties criticising it.
"It is not that EC has introduced the extraordinary measures in Madurai-West only. We grow by experience during every poll and all the measures had been introduced in other states of the country as well. It is unfair to criticise the EC," he said.

Perhaps your Super Bowl party Sunday should be a time to go wild and be wasteful, but since this is the Green House community, I can't resist passing on tips by other bloggers for an eco-minded good time.
Mother Nature Network has a short video, see above or click here, on ways to green your party, starting with a Fair Trade Sports football that's entirely vegan (no animal products were used to make it.) It encourages you to serve food and beverages-- chili and beer, of course -- that are organic or locally produced. It also urges you to recycle or compost whatever's left over.
Here are other tips:

Party Like It's Sunday
Sunday for Christians is always a feast, just as Friday is traditionally always a fast--each week, through our eating, we celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ. On Friday we ate nothing, as we realized the emptiness of a world without Jesus, but now on Sunday we celebrate as though it is a wedding feast and the happy couple have arrived. So eat something sweet, drink a little, eat for happiness as much as health. We Christians are not known enough for our parties and that is a disg … [Read more...]

As the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations continue to grow, so does their support.
And one Long Island company has decided to be the first in the area to give sole assistance to the protesters in Lower Manhttan.
Long Island shoe retailer Robert Yeganeh, owner of Love My Shoes, is donating over 10,000 pairs of shoes to the men and women who've been pounding the picket lines for weeks to shake their fists at corporate greed.
"These people have to be comfortable on their feet," he said.
Yeganeh has already delivered two vans full of shoes, with another van-full scheduled for Thursday. While his business remains non-political, Yeganeh said many of the protesters are college-aged kids who can't find work and aren't on government assistance.
"Hopefully it will make a difference for the people who are pouring out their hearts out there," Yeganeh told LIBN.
Yeganeh himself is an American success story. An Iranian immigrant, he began selling shoes at flea markets before growing to five retail locations in Babylon, Carle Place, Huntington, Oceanside and Bayside.

This 1912 Oldsmobile Limited five-passenger Touring sold for $3.3m during RM's sale of the renowned Milhous collection. (Photo courtesy of RM Auctions)
RM Auctions, in association with Sotheby's, sold the renowned and eclectic collection of Bob and Paul Milhous in Boca Raton on February 24-25, 2012. The collection was a mind-boggling array that mainly consisted of self-playing musical machines and cars, the bulk of the latter being Brass Era and prewar classics. The cars had a predilection towards racing units, but also included numerous production stars of the 1930s and 1940s.
Results were very strong, with $16.5m from the sale of all 32 automotive lots contributing to the sale's $38.3m overall total. The sum total was courtesy of both the incredible rarity of the instruments on offer and the quality of the cars being sold. In general, the automotive restorations were world-class caliber, and the large crowd responded enthusiastically.
The top sale of the two-day event was the last known surviving 1912 Oldsmobile Limited, which garnered an incredible $3.3m, including buyer's premium. The second spot went to a truly massive and ornate 1904 organ at $1.265m, and third highest sale was a 1933 Chrysler Custom Imperial five-passenger Phaeton that sold for $1.21m. The top five automotive lots were:
Next on the docket for RM Auctions is its annual sale at Amelia Island, held March 10, 2012, at the Ritz-Carlton.

RM Auctions again conducted a very strong sale at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix. The January 19-20, auction fell short of 2011's $31 million total by a little more than $5 million, but the 2012 tally was healthy nonetheless. More

I just wanted to write something though. No plans, no long winded editorial on Nintendo or my favorite game at the moment, no sharing links or videos, just me blabbering. The only guideline I have is to talk about video games only. Well, after my two posts about the Wii U caused a lot of people to call me dumb, stupid, Satan (yeah, someone called me Satan) and accused me of trolling and click bating, I actually bought a Wii U this Christmas after getting a big holiday bonus I wasn't expecting. I mean, I was expecting something but not as much as I got. I picked up Sonic Lost World, and the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. The bundle I got also came with New Super Mario Bros U and New Super Luigi U. Later on, I bought Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and I also picked up Edge, Mega Man X, Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Earthbound, and F-Zero on the Virtual Console.
I've tried all of the games out and although none of them are bad per se, I'm not impressed. I'm most disappointed in the Wii U console itself, as the UI sucks. I never expected any company to screw up just navigating the menus! Wind Waker HD is the best game I own on the Wii U now and I'm playing through that now, though sporadically and New Super Mario Bros U is the worst. That game really is just the same thing we've been getting for years now. If you told me that game was just an HD remake of New Super Mario Bros Wii, I would completely believe you. As a Sonic fan, I've played through Sonic Lost World and even wrote a review for Gaming Precision. I liked it but felt it was lacking after Sonic 4 Ep.II and Sonic Generations. It's not even as good as the 3DS version, if only barely. Oddly enough though, I'm glad I have a Wii U just because I get to try out these games. Once I finally just decide to take the plunge, I'm excited to just lose myself in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. I tried it but have been avoid diving into it completely because I know I'll be in it for the long haul.
I've decided to not buy that many games this year since I found out I have over 500 games and I haven't completed most of them. So I played and finished Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and am currently working on completing it 100%, achievements included. It's a monotonous game but the combat stuff is fun. Also, swinging around New York is still great. Right now, my playing it is slow as I'm at the boring part of trying to find all of the Spider pickups. There's 2,000 of them and I have 1,100 or so. I find myself wanting to replay a couple of big games that came out last year that I finished, namely BioShock Infinite and Tomb Raider. Tomb Raider is the more surprising one to me because I completed it 100%. It's just a good game I guess and I'm even going to write an editorial about Lara Croft for Gaming Precision soon.
I'm super pumped for the Sly Cooper movie we just got screenshots for today! I love Sly Cooper and I've played all of the games in the franchise. In fact, I've 100% all of them except the recent one. I think Murphy looks a little strange though. I feel like his head is too small or maybe he should be fatter all around; I'm not sure. If there's one thing I'm excited about, it's that I bought a model 1 Sega Genesis from eBay, complete in the box with the manuals, plastic sleeves and foam, in excellent condition with all of the cords, original 3-button controller with the red accents, and a copy of the first Sonic the Hedgehog which has its box and manual as well. Now, it's not sealed or anything so I am going to use it but I never splurge on something like that. Normally, I would've just bought a Genesis used, no box, okay condition with the cables but no game for $30 or so. I've wanted one ever since the one I have now died on my a year and a half ago. I love the Sega Genesis – It's my 2nd favorite console after the first Sony PlayStation – and I'm excited to play all my old Sega Genesis games again on the original hardware.
That's about everything. I'm been busy with Gaming Precision so far this year, preparing new content and changes for the site and whatnot, so I've you are so inclined, head on over there. The site is gamingprecision.com and we have news, features like my GP Picks weekly article on Fridays, editorials, reviews and even a podcast. Peace and Love, brothers and sisters. Colorwind out.
Oh yeah! I wear glasses now. I can't see far anymore so I wear glasses now. Getting older lol.

Seam Zone keeps Palestinian children in limbo, disrupting education
By Catherine Weibel
A SEEFER, Occupied Palestinian Territory, 16 May 2012 – Every morning at dawn, Khalil* wakes up and hurries to class. While his school is a mere 15-minute walk from his house, the 14-year-old boy has no idea how long it will take him to get there. The Israeli-manned Beit Yatir checkpoint, which stands between his house and Imneizil School, can turn the 15-minute walk into an hour-long wait.
"No matter how early I wake up, I always end up being late for school, which is extremely stressful," said Khalil.
"No matter how early I wake up, I always end up being late for school, which is extremely stressful," said Khalil.
He crosses the checkpoint twice a day with another 17 Palestinian children aged 6 to 14. Each child has to line up in a chamber to pass through a magnetic scanner where Israeli security forces check every school bag and, sometimes, ask children to remove their shirts, citing security reasons.
A struggle to get to school
Even though the students try to pass the checkpoint as a team, the journey intimidates the youngest ones.
"Sometimes I dream that I enter the inspection room and that I am never able to leave," said 11-year-old Amina* while she waits for Israeli officials to inspect her tiny, pink school bag. "Sometimes we have to wait up to one hour at the checkpoint while we see settlers driving through it without even stopping," she added.
Khalil, Amina's brother, said he's tired of the process. "Most of the soldiers know me by name," he explained. "I don't understand why they keep asking to see my birth certificate when they have already seen it hundreds of times."
The children also experience stress when they walk to the checkpoint along a road lined with several settlements. "Some settlers drive their cars very close to us. We had to jump off the road a few times," said 11-year-old Rana*.
Living in the 'Seam Zone'
Khalil and his family are among 50 Palestinians, including 18 school children, who live in the hamlet of A Seefer in the southern West Bank. A Seefer is in the 'Seam Zone' – the closed area between the 'Green Line' that delimits Israel from the West Bank, and the Barrier built by Israel, citing security reasons. The Barrier was not built along the Green Line but, in some sections, inside the Palestinian territory, creating enclaves where nearly 8,000 Palestinians live, cut off from the remainder of the West Bank.
These families have to apply for Israeli permits to continue living in their own homes. Their relatives cannot visit them without a permit, which is extremely difficult to obtain.
Families are forbidden to leave their tiny enclaves unless they cross on foot through checkpoints in the Barrier towards the West Bank. They have to wait, sometimes for hours, any time someone in the family needs to buy food, go to work, attend school or even go to a hospital. Khalil says he worries for his 85-year-old grandmother, whose ailing health makes these trips increasingly difficult.
His family lives in poverty. At night, the children gather together to keep warm, sleeping on thin mats laid directly on the floor of their house, which is just four barren concrete walls and a leaking roof. The house has neither electricity nor running water; Khalil and his nine siblings do their homework by candlelight.
The road to Imneizil School, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, is lined up with several settlements. "Some settlers drive their cars very close to us. We had to jump off the road a few times," said one student.
"I want all of my children to receive an education," he said. "They keep telling me they would rather drop out of school than cross the checkpoint, but I refuse. I want my children to have a better life than this."

VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican on Friday (Dec. 19) called for the decriminalization of homosexuality, but said a proposed United Nations declaration on gay rights is vague and excessively far-reaching.
The statement by the Holy See's UN delegation was a response to the "Declaration on Human Rights, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity," presented to the UN General Assembly on Thursday.
"The Holy See appreciates the attempts made in [the declaration] to condemn all forms of violence against homosexual persons as well as urge states to take necessary measures to put an end to all criminal penalties against them," the statement said.
But the Vatican said that the UN declaration "goes beyond this goal and instead gives rise to uncertainty in the law and challenges existing human rights norms."
The Vatican specifically objected to the declaration's use of the terms "sexual orientation" and "gender identity," which it said had no established meaning in international law.
According to an editorial in the official Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, these terms "imply that sexual identity is defined only by culture," and their use in the declaration are part of an attempt to "equate same-sex unions with marriage and to give homosexual couples the chance to adopt or `procreate' children."
The paper argued the declaration would endanger "other human rights," such as "liberty of expression ... thought, conscience and religion," since it might limit religions in their freedom to teach that homosexual behavior is morally wrong.
The non-binding declaration, which was sponsored by France and backed by the 27-member European Union, received 66 votes in the 192-member UN General Assembly on Thursday. Aside from the Holy See, opponents included China, Russia, the United States, and the 56-member Organization of the Islamic Conference.
Homosexual behavior is against the law in dozens of countries, and punishable by death in several.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, homosexual acts are sinful and "contrary to the natural law," but persons with "deep-seated homosexual tendencies ... must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity" and "every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should avoided."

Burrell, Valley set for another rivarly battle
All teams get two scrimmages before they open the season, but Burrell had more than the customary dress rehearsal to get ready for Class AA Allegheny Conference play.
The Buccaneers (1-0, 0-0) last week opened with a 46-14 nonconference win over Brownsville in what amounted to a preseason game.
The Bucs made strides offensively, with quarterback Cody Wolfe passing for 190 yards and rushing for 111, and Ryan Sowol running for 97 yards in the win.
"I think (the nonconference) game is huge for us," Burrell coach Kevin Horwatt said. "You get a chance to see what you have, and you can work on some things."
Valley (1-0, 1-0), meantime, jumped right into conference play with a 42-16 season-opening win at Deer Lakes.
Running back Demetrius Houser ran for a career-best 287 yards and three touchdowns on just 17 carries. Valley, though, was plagued by a rash of unnecessary penalties — all told, 22 of them for 190 yards.
Valley coach Chad Walsh said he prefers to open with a conference game, but knows his team must clean up its act and keep the yellow flags in the referees' pockets.
"It forces you to play sharper and avoid mistakes because you don't have time to," Walsh said of opening with a conference game. "It gives the team a little more sense of urgency.
"We made way too many mistakes, though, and have to play more disciplined football."
It remains to be seen how much Burrell's tune-up and Valley's into-the-fire contest will impact the teams when they face each other Friday night in New Kensington.
The Alle-Kiski's most popular rivalry game seems to have lost some zest. But now that it's a conference game, its value could be growing again.
Vikings quarterback Ty Matthews also would rather start Allegheny play right away.
"It shows people in our conference we mean business right off the bat," Matthews said.
Valley has won 19 of 33 meetings, but Burrell is making a comeback.
Last year, the teams played each other in conference for the first time since 2009. Burrell rolled to its fourth straight win in the series, 41-6, as bruising running back Cole Bush, an all-timer at Burrell, ran for 242 yards and three touchdowns.
Valley managed only 48 passing yards in the loss.
But Bush is gone and Burrell is looking for new leaders to emerge in conference play. Wolfe is first in line.
"That's what we're hoping for," Horwatt said of finding new go-to players. "This is a good time for that to happen."
Valley, which doesn't play out of conference until Week 6 against Yough, kept most of its offense on the ground in its opener, rushing 40 times or 448 yards — 11.2 yards per carry. Houser averaged 16.9 yards per touch, a number that will be tough to maintain. But Burrell knows the big-play ability exists, much like Valley did last season with Bush.
Burrell will try to test Valley's young, but skillful secondary. Wolfe completed 13 of 15 passes last week, and found Nick Pattock seven times for 120 yards.
Valley returns more starters than Burrell, but also is tagged with greater expectations after a that's-more-like-it season saw the Vikings reestablish themselves as a playoff team.
Valley senior lineman Terrell Fields is well aware of the all-time series, which Valley leads, 19-14, but he also knows the Vikings haven't won since 2008.
"We have to come out and smack them in the mouth," Fields said.
"We have to change things up."
Fields tweeted that he expects attendance Friday "will be in the thousands."
Horwatt is all for friendly jabs between the neighboring teams, but doesn't want his team to get too enamoured with the rivalry after kickoff.
"It's all about energy and having fun," Horwatt said. "Go out, run around and have fun with the game."
Both teams' openers seemed to drag on with a number of stoppages, some due to the scoring. Both coaches hope for a much crisper, better-flowing game this week.

Wow, a lot of back and forth between people with strong opinions.
My original intent was not to be provoking but just to state my observation and comparison of two brands of vehicles.
Clearly, I overstepped my opinion about the F10 being the worst car ever. Clearly that is not true, but I am a very big fan of BMW's especially my last 5er (the E60) and therefore the bold statement which I humbly retract.
As I stated before I find this board and those on it to be above the norm and really appreciate the advice i received. I will stand on my belief that the current F10 is not a drivers car.
I am not married to the A7 either. It is a wonderful car. To say I lose credibility that I did not pan the seats is stupid. Nobody ever has said that the A7 seats are good, infact its one of the biggest complaints on the audi forums. I do not like them. But, as a rational person I also do not cum over the F10 seats knowing how good the E60 were before them.
As much as it hurts me and others, BMW really missed the mark on the new F10 for those that love the BMW driving feel, specifically those that are the ones that would spend time on these forums! However, obviously they have a hit, sales are great.
And for those that think the A7 is ugly, good for you. You have your opinion. It is not for everyone. Not that it matters but interestingly there is not a day, and I mean it, that I don't get a thumbs up from passing drivers or a nice car remark from people when my car is parked. I have never had that before, nor do I seek it, nor does it matter to me, just a fact.
My post was not to upset, pick fights, or be an A.. I can see how my comment about best car ever was inappropriate.
I really look forward to being back in a BMW (with side bolsters!).

Skyfall Smashes UK Box Office Record
Overtakes Harry Potter's seven-day tally
S**kyfall**'s opening week at the UK box office means that Eon and Sony probably won't be short of a bob or £37.2m to celebrate the rest of 007's 50th anniversary. That's the figure Sam Mendes' lovingly crafted addition to the canon scooped up in its first seven days on release.
It's a whopping sum that catapults it past Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and into the record books as the biggest seven day gross in UK box-office history.
Skyfall isn't out in the US until Friday, where the strong word of mouth from around the world should fuel receipts. If this release strategy works a fraction as well as it did for The Avengers, expect more good news for the studio beancounters.
Following news of the Star Wars reboot, which Kathleen Kennedy will no doubt be piloting with as much intelligence as Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have Bond, it's more food for thought for fans of smartly executed, cannily-managed franchises. As Empire's review points out, Skyfall is "pretty much all you could want from a 21st Century Bond".

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 10.1325 Tuesday, 27 July 1999.
Date: Monday, 26 Jul 1999 15:19:10 -0400 (EDT)
Subject: Hamlet
I was going over the text of Hamlet and a line jumped out at me. In V,
ii, 394, Horatio refers to being able to tell 'of deaths put on by
I wonder if it has ever been suggested that Ophelia was not really dead
but perhaps only given some sleeping potion akin to that taken by
Romeo. This might explain why Laertes stops the gravediggers from
throwing on the dirt. The last word on the subject comes from Claudius
who says that her grave shall have a living guard until the matter
between Hamlet and Laertes is decided. Perhaps, this was also to allow
time for her to awaken from the effects of a sleeping potion.
Another line which recently came to my attention is IV, vii, 127, where
Laertes says that to prove himself his father's son he will cut Hamlet's
throat in a church. There is a striking resonancy in this to III, iii
where Hamlet forgoes the opportunity to kill Claudius specifically
because he is at prayer. I wonder if this difference between Hamlet and
Laertes has ever been analyzed.
Yours in the work,

Get politics out of health care debate
Tell me, what are the politics of cancer? What are the politics of leukemia, of diabetes, of autism, of dementia? What are the politics of a very sick child? When your child is stricken you cease to be whatever political stripe you blather to be. You become just a human who wants a well child and hopefully, when it's over, a house left to raise him in.
The politics of this health care debate are sickening. The free market conservatives seem to believe that life and health belong only to those who can afford it. If you're not rich, too bad. You get sickness, bankruptcy and early death under their plan. The real scare of "socialized" medicine to them is that working people might have access to the health they deserve, to work hard and keep this country great working for companies not strapped with astronomical health care costs.
Our so-called leaders have to get the fear and politics out of the health care debate or we have to get them out of office. Once they're back home where they belong, let them try to find some affordable health care. They actually might, after our sensible leaders get us a good single-payer plan.
Michael Blowers, Largo
Something has to change in how we handle health care
While we may disagree on what to do, most Americans know we need to change the way we offer medical care services in this country. We need to include all Americans and reduce the escalating price tag that goes along with it.
According to Howard Troxler's column (The $140 Q-tip and other matters, July 28) most people are leery of "an expanded government role" in the health care business. I guess this is because of perceived waste and incompetence of a government bureaucracy. But can a government that can launch a network of spy satellites capable of real-time surveillance 24 hours a day, anywhere in the world (without the knowledge of the people), be deemed as incompetent? Hardly.
Also in Troxler's column, most people seem to agree that whatever this Congress creates for health care, it should be the exact medical plan for all of Congress. Any extras should be paid for out of pocket by said members of Congress and not the taxpayer. In this case, peer pressure is a wonderful thing. If future members of Congress do not like the plan, they can always adjust it, so long as it applies to all Americans.

Gang of 5 could remake health care | July 27, David Broder column
A way to curb costs
Despite the objection by David Broder to an unelected group of commissioners serving as an "Independent Medicare Advisory Council," to me it appears to be an answer to the terrible waste that is brought about by doctors, pharmaceutical suppliers and hospitals. We hear constantly about unnecessary or repetitive procedures by doctors. We who use medicines know by experience how recklessly the pharmaceutical companies charge us (under the guise of "future research"). We see how hospitals charge, e.g. $5 for an aspirin, and so much more.
To me this proposed IMAC could be the agency to bring these dreadfully overcharged charges to the fore and by so doing, if successful, bringing the deficit down by billions of dollars.

Fatal accidents
What's the standard?
What is going on with our justice system as it relates to fatal traffic accidents? One teen is sentenced to 30 years in an auto accident involving death. Another who runs away from an auto accident involving a death is likely going to get probation, and now another teen may be charged with third-degree murder.
I understand that each of these situations has specifics that differ and that all are serious breaches of the law, but is there a standard for the charges and pursuit of the person who causes this type of accident?
Young Nick Bollea was on newspaper front pages for months as his tragic accident wound its way through the courts. He ultimately went to prison.
There has to be a standard that should be followed, but it's not evident from the charges that have been filed in these cases, nor in what happens to each teen who caused the accidents.
What is that standard? Why are they not all treated equally under the law as they should be?

Our deadly addiction | July 23, Maureen Dowd column
Just be responsible
I'm amazed by Maureen Dowd's thoughts in writing this piece and by the St. Petersburg Times' paying any attention at all.
First this loony tune tells us that while driving and using her cell phone she hits someone, and then, drives and uses her cell phone again! Wasn't the accident, which she claims she took responsibility for, enough? She chronicles all kinds of bad things happening while people are engaged in this activity and demands that stronger laws be put in place to punish the people doing so (like herself?). But the real crux is her typical, "progressive," moral-relativistic attitude that actually disavows her obligation to do the right, intelligent thing.
She actually blames the technology. How typical is that? She calls this industry drug pushers. Of course, they're trying to hawk their wares — but, Maureen, honey, you don't have to buy or use. Was some technocrat holding a gun to your temple at the time of the accident or any time thereafter? What kind of mentality permeates American society today?
Jeanne Hahm, Largo
Our deadly addiction | July 23, Maureen Dowd column
Thinking for two
Maureen Dowd hit the nail on the head when it comes to people driving a car who drift all over the road like brainless gnats because they are too busy blogging and texting about how another brainless idiot honked the horn when former brainless gnat cut him off after veering suddenly across three lanes when said gnat noticed a Starbucks that his GPS somehow missed.
Don't worry, idiot. When I see you on the road I'll do the thinking for both of us.

Career of honesty and good humor | July 28
Colorful character
Lucy Morgan's well-written column really captured the essence of Jim King. I did not know him well, but I still feel a personal loss.
He was always the class clown, and I do not think he would mind if I shared a personal note to me concerning legislation, in which he stated: "I kissed more fannies than a French gigolo to make sure that it would be passed and not vetoed."
Jim, you will be missed by so many.

There are a number of Self Assessment websites that offer a simpler, easier way to enter your tax returns, but are they really that much better?
Other than the ability to enter your information offline and a slightly more attractive interface, there seems be very little difference between HMRC's online tax return site and their competitors.
They all seem to be reasonably straightforward, provide supporting documentation and can be completed in around 30 minutes as long as your tax returns are relatively simple. Add to that, the fact that you are able to call HMRC's Self Assessment helpline seven days a week between 08:00 and 20:00 to get advice from the proverbial horse's mouth, and the added worry of putting your personal details onto yet another website and it looks like you might as well just sign in to HMRCs Self Assessment page and complete it there.
With the wide range of websites and software packages there are plenty of options for those who just need a quick and easy way to submit a basic Self Assessment tax return. The real problem with online Self Assessment lies in submitting more complicated returns. If your situation is particularly unusual or if you have many different income streams or are running an SME, the odds are good that you will need to seek professional advice in order to avoid being penalised or overcharged.
There is a very real danger of being accused of trying to mislead HMRC and the penalty can be severe. You could be required to pay up to an additional 70% in tax owing or up to 100% if they decide that you have attempted to conceal your wrongdoing. Even if it is decided that you have merely been careless in your application you could still pay up to 30% extra.
Using a qualified accountant will not only help you avoid the possibility of receiving a catastrophic bill from HMRC, but will save you time and money. By using an accountant or a firm like 1stContact Accounting you can make sure that you get the right advice first time and get your return accurately checked. We can even get the whole thing taken care of for you, and save you the hassle of crunching all those numbers yourself.

The bottom line
The decision to do your tax return online or engage an accountant to get it done for you is a personal one. It boils down to your comfort with numbers and general level of tax knowledge. If you are working for yourself and have few investments, you could save money by completing your tax return online via HMRC's website or through the many different software packages and websites available.
Those with more complicated needs, like business income and rental property, will likely find it much more rewarding to look to a professional for assistance. Complicated tax returns carry risk and investing in an accountant's expertise could save you a packet in the long term.
