Worst Father In The World Nominee
And now, our nominee for Worst Father In The World.
A California father told his crying 7-year-old son he needed to toughen up and then threw him off a tour boat into a busy harbor as shocked passengers looked on, police say. Former Marine sergeant Sloane Briles, 35, was arrested for child endangerment and resisting arrest, AP reports. "The father hit him several times and then threatened to throw him overboard if he didn't stop crying," a police spokesman says. "The crowd on the boat became very angry at the father for hitting the kid and extremely angry when he threw him overboard."

Miley Cyrus Thinks Cocaine Is So 1990's
"Weed is the best drug on earth … One time I smoked a joint with peyote in it, and I saw a wolf howling at the moon … Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is so much better. And Molly, too. Those are happy drugs — social drugs. They make you want to be with friends. You're out in the open. You're not in a bathroom … I really don't like coke. It's so gross and so dark. It's like, what are you, from the '90s? Ew."
–Miley Cyrus ranks her drugs of choice in her Rolling Stone interview. I have a couple of thoughts on Miley's drug commentary. Firstly, I want to know what kind of weed she's smoking that's making her tongue so dirty. Secondly, cocaine is so '80s, meth is so '90s. [US Weekly]

Column: How to prepare your home for flooding
With the large amount of snow and rain during the winter and ground saturated from last fall, cities in the Midwest with in low lying areas have been preparing for spring floods.
Slowed down by cooler temperatures, the weathermen are warning about slower rising waters with two crests.
Living in Minnesota, we know how unpredictable our weather is. If you were one of the families notified that you had hours to evacuate, would you be prepared to leave your home until the waters receded?
Below I have listed a few suggestions that might help you plan for a fast exit.
1. Have a family meeting and make sure everyone has contact information. A flood could happen when someone is out of town or even at work.
2.Pack medications for a week for members of the family along with a list of the medications everyone takes.
3. Pack warm clothing and bring change of clothes
4. Take a warm blanket in the car.
5. Make plans with family or friends where you could bunk for this time.
6. Put important documents and photos in one place where you can grab and run
7. Keep some cash on hand for emergencies.
8. Pack any medical supplies you may need
9. Don't forget necessities for children, including something to keep older ones occupied.
10. Last, don't forget your pets, the food, dishes and even their beds.
If you are asked to leave and elect not to, you will be responsible for your needs, including medications, food, water, a radio with batteries, a cell phone charged along with adapters just in case. If the utilities go out you need to keep warm.
If you think you may have to leave your home, watch the weather warnings, have your supplies ready to go and make arrangements with your family. With our unpredictable Minnesota weather, things change so fast.
Be safe and prepared, not sorry.

I found Craig to be a knowledgeable Trust Lawyer. He handled every aspect in a professional mater.
Posted by anonymous
Last year, after the sudden passing of my father,Craig Scalise helped our family draw up a trust for our mom's estate.
He walked us through the process and followed through in making sure the needed property documents were filed with the county. He explained the process clearly to my family and was very patient and understanding of our needs, especelly our mother.
If he was not sure of a question, he researched to get the correct information and got back to us within a couple days. He kept us updated as needed through emails and phone calls and was very prompt in returning our inquires.
I would highly recommend Craig as an estate lawyer

The plan of this duplex house is derived from the shape of the site and its geographic conditions. The project started as a cube, then started shifting in place and size to create pleasant views and light for its residences. The main entrance and circulation of the building, are located in the vertical shaft located on the West side of the building. The South side is thoughtfully constructed out of glass in a manner which prevents the summer sun and embraces the winter sun. There are two units which are divided in a way for both to have the same square footage and views from South and North.

1. To finish the first day of the two day 120 mi per day mountain ride, I had to ride from East Vail down to Avon in a pouring rain. I got a little dinner at the picnic tent. Then I had to ride, in the rain, to the Beaver Creek Lodge concierge, get my key and then ride down to the condo which the club had rented for my gal because she was doing her sag/support for the ride.
It was beautiful condo with a giant bathtub with jaccuzzi jets. Since I have never warmed up from the chilly downhill ride, I made full use of the once in a lifetime opportunity. I also drank most of 1/2 gallon of milk.
2. Later on in the summer I finished a 600 km ride in Stillwater, MN. We had a room down in Apple Valley, MN, which turned out to be a little suite. The same aforementioned gal volunteered to get some dinner at Applebee's so I was able to recover sitting on a couch eating grilled chicken salad.
3. The final recovery was after quitting dejectedly about 2/3rds into a 1200 KM ride. I bummed a ride from a very nice Kansas music professor who dropped me off in Byers. The key to recovery on this occassion was that I already had a room there, and the official sag vehicle was present with all the official recovery supplies, including burritos and beer.
In summary, good recovery depends on having a motel room, a flexible attitude, the world's best S.O. and the appropriate recovery beverage.
Compression hose is optional.

It looks like I made it just in the nick of time—the Love Locks fence on Commercial Street in Portland, Maine will meet the same fate as the locks on the Pont Des Arts in Paris did. They will be torn down on Monday because, like the locks in Paris, they pose a structural risk to the fence and the sewage and storm drain that it protects.
Contrary to popular belief, the tradition did not actually start in Paris—that only began in the early 2000's. It is thought to have started in Serbia during World War I, but the tradition has been catching on recently around the world in cities like Paris, Rome, Cologne, New York, and many other locations like Portland. While it is a sweet tradition among well-meaning couples, the locks are destroying the integrity of bridges and other structures and many believe that they are marring the beauty and architecture of landmarked buildings.

Super Rugby: Lions stun Cheetahs 21-20 in dramatic Super Rugby curtain-raiser
The 2014 Super Rugby season started with an upset as newcomers the Lions recorded a 21-20 win over the Cheetahs.
By Ben Hampshire | @BH92
Last Updated: 27/02/14 3:35pm
Tries from Raymond Rhule and Cornal Hendricks looked like they would the Cheetahs over the line, but an outstanding display of kicking, including a last-gasp drop-goal, stunned the Cheetahs in a dramatic Super Rugby curtain-raiser.
Boshoff fired the visitors into the lead but Johan Goosen levelled the scores moments later, before Rhule raced home the first try of the season. Goosen added the extras to give the Cheetahs a 10-3 lead but Boshoff ensured the Lions remained in contention, kicking two further penalties to make it a one-point game at the break.
The Cheetahs stepped up a gear following the restart and looked ready to break loose when Cornal Hendricks touched down their second try in the 48th minute; but Boshoff kicked with unerring accuracy to keep the Lions in touch, before slotting home a 40-yard drop-goal attempt to steal victory from the claws of defeat.
Springbok fly-half Goosen made his Cheetahs return - after missing the entire 2013 Currie Cup campaign through injury - and his lay-off proved telling as he missed two attempts from the kicking tee in the opening 10 minutes.
Despite enjoying dominance at the breakdown in the opening exchanges, the Cheetahs were made to pay as referee Craig Joubert reversed a penalty in favour of the Lions after an unnecessary push in the face from Boom Prinsloo.
Boshoff made no mistakes in bisecting the uprights as the Lions drew first blood on their comeback, following a year-long exile.
The lead was short-lived however, as the Cheetahs levels the scores moments later as Goosen recovered from a hefty tackle to slot home at the third time of asking.
Super Rugby's first try of 2014 soon followed as Naka Drotske's men stunned the Lions with a spontaneous piece of counter-attacking play.
Springbok full-back Willie le Roux was the catalyst, jinking his way into Lions territory before offloading to Rhule on the left wing, who completed the move with blistering pace and panache. Goosen slotted the conversion from the touchline with ease.
As the Cheetahs threatened to break loose, Johan Ackermann's side - boasting seven tournament debutants - remained resilient and went to the interval with just a one-point deficit, with Boshoff adding two more penalties as he kept his perfect record intact.
Following the restart, Drotske's side stepped up a gear and exposed the Lions' defensive frailties. An excellent break from Cheetahs scrum-half Shaun Venter took the hosts close before a high tackle gave them a penalty advantage, which winger Hendricks - on his Super Rugby debut - took full advantage of as he dotted down their second try, which Goosen converted.
Boshoff brought the visitors back within five points at 17-12 with his fourth successful penalty of the afternoon, as they started to wrestle their way back into contention.
Cheetahs substitute Jean Cook gifted the Lions a one-man personnel advantage after he went for a dangerous tackle on Boshoff, which Joubert deemed a yellow-card offence, and the Lions stand-off reduced the gap to two points with the subsequent penalty.
As the second half wore on the Lions inexperience proved costly as they conceded a penalty at the scrum, which allowed replacement kicker Elgar Watts to give the Cheetahs a five-point cushion with 10 minutes to play.
Boshoff brought the Lions within two points as he added a sixth penalty to his peerless place-kicking display, before Watts squandered the opportunity to restore a five-point lead for the Cheetahs.
Watts' error from the kicking tee cost the Cheetahs dearly as the Lions piled on the pressure with the klaxon fast approaching and Boshoff sealed the points for Ackermann's side with a successful long-range drop-goal attempt.

Since 1922, when Howard Carter discovered Tut's 3,000-year-old tomb, most Egyptologists have presumed that the young king died of disease, or perhaps an accident, such as a chariot fall.
But what if his fate was actually much more sinister?
Now, in The Murder of King Tut, James Patterson and Martin Dugard chronicle their epic quest to find out what happened to the boy-king.
The result is a true crime tale of intrigue, betrayal, and usurpation that presents a compelling case that King Tut's death was anything but natural.

THE US House of Representatives has approved an end to federal authorities arresting state-licensed medical marijuana patients and providers.
Friday's bipartisan vote, 219-189, was an unusual act of agreement in the highly partisan capital, and indicated a growing acceptance even among conservative Republicans - who control the House - of medical marijuana.
The measure must still clear the Senate and gain the signature of US President Barack Obama to become law.
The measure is intended to protect people with prescriptions for marijuana and providers of the drug in states where medical marijuana is legal, according to the Marijuana Policy Project, a Washington lobbying group.
The amendment was included in bill to provide funds to several US departments, including the Justice Department, which would be banned from spending money to arrest state-licensed medical marijuana patients and providers.
Marijuana continues to be illegal under federal law but an increasing number of states have approved its medical use.
The Marijuana Policy Project has been lobbying in support of the measure since its initial introduction in 2003.
Twenty-one states and the US capital, Washington DC, have legalised medical marijuana.
Two states - Colorado and Washington - have legalised the sale of marijuana for recreational use in addition to medical marijuana.
Despite the loosening of marijuana laws on the state level, arrests by federal law enforcement officers have continued in some states where medical marijuana is permitted.
Polls of Americans on their views of marijuana show overwhelming support for legal medical use. CBS News gauged support at 86 per cent in January and Fox News found 85 per cent support in February 2013.

More will be known about the Millville High School football team after tonight.
The undefeated Thunderbolts face their biggest test of the season so far when they meet Cape-Atlantic League American Division rival Absegami (2-2). Kickoff is 7 p.m. at Millville's Wheaton Field.
Millville made the South Jersey Group IV playoffs last year and has won all four of its games by an average margin of 26.3 points this year. The Thunderbolts are No. 9 in The Press Elite 11.
Yet Millville has its doubters.
Some southern New Jersey fans wonder how good the Thunderbolts are because they haven't beaten a team with a winning record.
"Every week we want to come out with a win," Millville lineman and team leader Nick Tyndal said. "If we don't win, we feel like we let people down. If we beat this team, people will be like, 'Wow, they can come out with wins against good teams.' "
There is no denying Millville's talent. The Thunderbolts are an experienced group. Tyndal is a four-year starter.
Speedy running back Alquann Jones leads the CAL in rushing with 745 yards. The 5-foot-9, 172-pound senior averages 7.6 yards per carry.
"Our offensive line has a great connection with him," Tyndal said. "He knows what we're going to do and we know what he's going to do. He'll go into the middle of the line. There's really not anything there, and he'll just squirt out of the hole somewhere."
Quarterback Shaq Lee provides leadership on offense with three touchdown passes.
Durham points out that Millville already has beaten some highly touted opponents. Millville beat Oakcrest, which reached the South Jersey Group IV final last year, 33-7 on Sept. 16. The Thunderbolts also beat Egg Harbor Township, a playoff team last year, 30-6 on Sept. 23.
Durham took over the Millville program in 2008, The Thunderbolts went 1-9 and 5-5 in his first two seasons, But last year Millville finished 6-4 and made the playoffs for the first time since 1998.
This year's seniors are the first class Durham and his staff have had an opportunity to coach all four of their years.
"We have some good football players who have bought into our system," Durham said. "We've had considerably less penalties than our opponents (this season). The kids have gone out there and played the game the right way."
In Absegami, the Thunderbolts will face a talented team with plenty of motivation of its own. A win gives a big boost to Absegami's South Jersey Group IV playoff hopes. Braves quarterback Rashad Kinlaw may be the CAL's most talented player. The junior has produced 617 yards and seven touchdowns with his running and throwing.
"They have a lot of weapons and defensively they're aggressive," Durham said. "I think it's important to slow down their run game."
Absegami should also be motivated by last year's game.
Millville withstood two Absegami fourth-quarter touchdowns to win 33-21.
"They're going to come in here very motivated," said Durham, who also noted that Absegami was off last weekend, giving the Braves two weeks to prepare for tonight's game.
Few towns support high school football like Millville does. The school sells season tickets to its home games.
"Everyone asks questions about the team or wishes us luck everywhere I go," Tyndal said. "A lot of people are going to come out. We're 4-0, and they know Absegami is good. With a game like that, there should be a lot of fans on our side and hopefully they bring a lot of their fans too."
Tonight's game will only partially define both teams' seasons, but it will probably serve as a preview to what will come for both Millville and Absegami. Both will have three more games until the South Jersey Group IV playoff field is decided the first weekend in November.
"This is one of those big midseason (games)," Durham said. "It will be a measuring stick for us, but we want to keep in perspective that there are more games to be played."

The advertising and promotion behind the xoom stated ninety days with Motorola's website specifically stating before the end of Q2. Has there been any litigation started? I would like to join

You guys need to relax. Would you rather have them run into issues and then rush the update and half ass it anyway?

If a vendor , Motorola in this case, promotes sales based on a specific timeframe of events then it should have been a fully baked upgrade. Instead they misrepresented their product with the full support of Verizon, with no appologies.

Total miss on Motorola's part. This is a good example of why they struggle. They rushed a half baked product to market that was missing a bunch of advertised features.
7. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
And now it has those features. And it's less expensive than the most comparable iPad 2. Not a bad deal, wouldn't you say?

If you like android at this point the price is reasonable, but I don't think anyone cares about the Xoom anymore. I think it's too late to turn the sales numbers around. Maybe the next generation.

September is almost over. Anyone want to bet that the upgrade isn't coming? I don't just mean in September, I mean ever.

Robyn and Chuck purchased this house in 1995
Hawk is located on 1,200 pristine acres in the heart of Vermont's breathtaking Green Mountains, Hawk has created one of the most peaceful and unspoiled family-friendly Vermont resorts in the world. Luxurious houses are nestled in these ancient wooded peaks for maximum privacy and exposure to nature.
President Calvin Coolidge, who loved to stroll the very same woods in which Hawk villas are now artfully concealed, once wrote: 'There is healing in the trees for tired minds. And for overburdened spirits, there is strength in the hills.'
At Hawk, the Black River Valley's mountain lakes and surrounding hiking trails come alive with residents and guests anxious to take advantage of Vermont's richest treasure - the great outdoors. The crystal clear waters of Lake Amherst host the Hawk fleet of boats for kayaking, canoeing and water cycling, as well as our 'Rave' water trampoline.
Relax on the terrace of the Hawk Spa, complete with a twenty-meter outdoor pool. Vent your competitive spirit on the tennis courts, or let Hawk chauffeur you to any of seven nearby championship golf courses. Mountain and touring bikes are always available for a day's excursion and perhaps a picnic at a favorite spot. Even if you have never cradled a fishing rod in your hand, try fly-fishing at one of the secluded trout-filled streams in the area. Stroll in the solitude of Hawk's Nature Preserve, an untouched habitat for animals and migrating birds, or on the bustling streets of nearby Woodstock, one of the most picturesque villages in all of Vermont.
Overall, a wide variety of programs and facilities are available for the entire family at Hawk, where introducing guests to new and exciting activities remains our goal. Programs are designed to provide both instruction and a measure of independence to enable you to experience the unique wonders of the Vermont landscape at your own pace. At the end of the day, sit back, relax and benefit from one of the region's many cultural offerings, including Hawk's free lawn performance series and the world-renowned summer theater at The Weston Playhouse. So, pick and choose among the Resort's countless summer recreational activities, or taste them all over the course of a week. There is definitely an adventure here for you.
We throughly enjoyed the house! It was perfect for our group and had open areas where we could party as well as spaces to get away and relax… Also loved the hot tub when it was -3F outside!!!
Looking forward to our next visit.
we had a terrific time at the house. our child went to Barn Day Camp and loved it. we used the facilities at Hawk Mountain. the house is perfectly located between Woodstock and Ludlow and Killington/Okemo. great year round house.
The cabin is well maintained and clean with great amenities. I had hosted a ski weekend for my 10 friends here (we skied in Killington) and everyone had a good time.
Chuck was not responsive at all until the day of arrival (I left a voicemail and called several times and was hung up on). He was easier to reach via text is what I learned later.
The first night we got there (Friday evening) there was a power outage for about 3 hours. Chuck was responsive but nothing he could've done to remediate the situation right away. We were not offered a credit of any sort during the power outage between 8pm-11pm which was majority of the time we were there on Friday night.
We cleaned up the place really nicely and got our security deposit back within a week so that was nice.
The home is located in a lovely wooded area. Note that all cars making the trek during the snow season should be readily equipped to handle a steep driveway covered in snow (we had a non- 4 wheel drive car get stuck in the driveway).
The house is spacious. The kitchen is stocked with pots/pans and anything else you need to cook big dinners.
The main amenities were all in working condition; fire for the fireplace was fully stocked. No complaints there.
My only real constructive criticism is that the house is a true 3 bedroom with the downstairs converted to a large room(s)with bunks. This was not a big problem for our group and probably not a problem for groups with kids but I could see it being a problem for large groups of adults thinking they are getting a true 5 bedroom home.
Also, whoever cleaned the home before we arrived (assuming a company) did not leave toilet paper or soap available so bring extras.
Overall, we enjoyed the home. If you make note of the above, you will too
I have been renting this property for years. It is always extremely well maintained and the house sparkling clean when I arrive. My kids love this house because they can get separation when they play in the basement, while adults enjoy the Living Room/ Dining area.
The house is set back from the road that only has a few houses and really gives you the feeling of being out in the woods while being able to access Ludlow(approx. 10mi) for groceries/ restaurants/ etc...
In addition to skiing, hiking and good old Rest and Relaxation, the house is 40 minutes from shopping at the Manchester Outlets and 25 minutes from Woodstock.
Will visit again!
The house was sparkling clean! Kids loved the game room, and the adults had a blast in the open living area!
Great amenities on the resort with golfing at Okemo and shopping near by in Woodstock and Manchester...
We got our full deposit returned immediately, we will definitely be visiting again!
Ludlow Vermont, Okemo, Killington, Plymouth
Other Activities: Ice Skating, Snow Shoeing, Sledding, Cross Country Skiing, snowmobiling...
Ski: Perfect location exactly between Okemo and Killington. Property is on a 1200 acre very private resort that also offers cross country skiiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, snow sledding and horse draw sled rides. Equipement, trails, ponds and ice rinks available. Just down the street is a snowmobile tour company with fantastic tours of back country VT!

XDA member oscillik found a quick trick to get around it and make it disappear. Simply head into Settings > Apps> All> Google Search and hit Disable. There is a consequence for this action though. If you disable it you won't be able to use the Google search app either. Which might leave those of you that use it often in a pickle. I have also read that after you have disabled it, tat it then goes missing from the apps sections and you can't turn it back on. So the choice is really yours.
I am sure at some point in time there will be a mod that keeps the app working but allows you add a widget back to use if you desire. It won't bother me either way since that is the first widget I always took off my screen when I flashed a new ROM.

Clarke ready to move up batting orderChris Barrett
Published: March 6 2013 - 3:00AM
Enough is enough for Michael Clarke. The Test captain, stung into action by Australia's dreadful second Test defeat, has finally accepted that the only way forward for his incompetent batting line-up is if he moves up the order, and fast.
''I think I have no choice,'' Clarke said after Australia was bowled out for 131 by lunch on Tuesday, completing an Indian win by an innings and 135 runs that gave the hosts a 2-0 series lead and left the tourists in disarray.
''It's about trying to do what's best for the team, and I think now, especially in these conditions, I have to bat higher.''
Clarke has previously been reluctant to shift higher in the face of arguments that a team's best batsman - which he is by the length of India itself - should not bat further up than No. 5. The clincher was the atrocious collapse that put a stop to events at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in little more than three days.
Australia's batsmen, utterly clueless against the spinning weaponry of Ravi Ashwin (5-63) and Ravindra Jadeja (3-33), were finished off with absolute ease, their second innings lasting less than four hours in total. The mosquitoes targeted by electric swatters-wielding Indian hotel staff stood more chance.
''It's probably more polite of me by not putting it into words,'' Clarke said of the performance. ''It's obviously unacceptable. Our batting has been unacceptable in the first two Test matches.
''There's plenty of people that not only watch us on TV but fly around the world to support us and watch us and we know we've let them down.''
Clarke's self-promotion in the order is far from guaranteed to be a panacea in the third Test, starting in Mohali on Thursday week.
Opener Ed Cowan survived long enough to post 44 on Tuesday but only two others, Clarke (16) and Matthew Wade (10) reached double figures.
Shane Watson lasted only eight balls in the morning for his nine. Even the captain does not have answers about how to extract the best from his underperforming deputy - who has rich experience in India - as a batting specialist.
''I don't know the answer to that, I'm not sure,'' he said. ''You probably have to ask Watto that question.
''I'm there to help him like every single batter, if there's areas he wants help, I'm there to support him. He's a very good player, he's a senior player in our team and like all of us we need to be scoring more runs.''
Australia's ineptitude facing spin in Indian conditions has been its primary downfall, but not the only major flaw of a team in a mess.
Clarke would not say whether the Hyderabad defeat was the low point of his 18-month tenure as Test captain, but he slammed his batsmen over continued poor shot selection and lack of respect for their wickets.
''Is it time to be angry at them?'' said Clarke, himself undone by Jadeja on Tuesday. ''Well, I don't know … there's times … I don't think me being angry is going to help.
''I am responsible as well. I'm no different to any other player, I should have scored more runs today. It can't be about me and the rest of the team. I think in the first two Test matches we've let each other down.
''That's the most disappointing thing for me. As a team, at stages we've got out and let our partner down. We've bowled bad overs, which lets your bowling partner up the other end down as well.
''We've dropped catches to let the bowlers down. As a team, we're letting each other down and that's the most disappointing thing.''
There was even sympathy for Australia's plight from India's captain M.S.Dhoni, a sure sign of the depths plunged to in Hyderabad.
''It becomes tough in the sense you start questioning yourself, which happens to each and every individual,'' Dhoni said. ''We are all human beings and the only ones who can say they don't get bothered are the ones who lie really well.''

text: ESI releases the latest version of VA One; the complete vibro-acoustic simulation solution A full-frequency solution offering seamless connectivity between various vibro-acoustic modeling methods Paris, France - December 2, 2013 - ESI Group , pioneer and world-leading solution provider in Virtual Prototyping for manufacturing industries, announces the latest release of VA One . VA One is used by manufacturers across the globe to predict and resolve potential noise and vibration problems up front in their development process, so they can deliver more competitive products and comply with tougher noise regulations. VA One is the only software solution on the market that enables the simulation of noise and vibration across the full frequency range by seamlessly combining key vibro-acoustic modeling methods: Finite Elements (FEM), Boundary Elements (BEM), and Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) in a single model. " VA One was launched in 2005, with the ambition to provide VA simulation engineers with an all-in-one software solution that could couple statistical and deterministic modeling methods in a hybrid way , to allow the simulation of noise and vibration across the full frequency range," says Sebastien Chaigne, recently appointed Vibro-Acoustic Solution Director at ESI Group . "Today, ESI teams have achieved the goal set in 2005. The latest version of VA One covers the full spectrum of frequencies with great flexibility, delivering precise vibro-acoustic simulation results. This unique capability is reinforced by an improved workflow integration, to enable faster turnaround times." VA One allows engineers to get a precise idea of a product's future vibro-acoustic performance by setting up interior or exterior acoustic models, coupled if necessary with a vibrating structure having various types of excitations. The latest version of VA One now takes into account Hybrid Area junctions between FE cavities and SEA panels: enabling engineers to improve the characterization of small cavities, as required to develop home appliances, cabins, or small vehicles, for example. Furthermore, VA One now enables engineers to couple BEM and FE cavities. This allows, for example, the simulation of a duct radiating noise externally; a situation relevant to investigating the noise from HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems or automotive exhausts. J oan Sapena, Acoustics R&D manager at Alstom Transport France, comments "VA One's new functionality, connecting BEM to FE cavities, allows us to simulate the vibroacoustic performances of complex HVAC ducts. This unique feature is essential to ensure the right allocation and dimensioning of air ducts of on board HVAC systems, from which radiation could not be effectively modeled without using hybrid methods." VA One provides the perfect environment to support all types of VA simulation needs - from checking early design concepts through the detailed component design phase, to troubleshooting in the virtual qualification test phase. It can also be used for product cost and weight optimization by simulating various sound package scenarios, while preserving product specifications. Image: VA One: Connectivity between different VA modeling methods Transmission Loss (TL) can now be calculated and plotted for all sources and receivers, including BEM, Semi-Infinite Fluid and Diffuse Acoustic Field (DAF). This is useful to users who need to model acoustic transmission loss through walls and panels, at any stage of the design or development project.

Pope voices sorrow over Darfur crisis
Delay ... the Pope at the Vatican yesterday.
Photo: AP
THE Pope has expressed "deep anguish" over the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, and concern for Christians in Iraq, in his annual speech to Vatican diplomats.
"I should like first to reiterate my deep anguish [over] the menacing sequence of hunger and death that is unfolding in Darfur," in Sudan, the Pope told the ambassadors to the Holy See. He said he prayed with all his heart that the joint United Nations/African Union mission would "bring aid and comfort to the suffering populations".
On Iraq, he said, "reconciliation is urgently needed Terrorist attacks, threats and violence continue, especially against the Christian community."
In Pakistan, he hoped "that all political and social forces will commit themselves to building a peaceful society, respectful of the rights of all".
On the unrest in Kenya, he said: "I join the [Kenyan] bishops in their appeal inviting all the inhabitants, especially political leaders, to seek a peaceful solution through dialogue, based on justice and fraternity."

Elizabeth Givens, MHS grad, dies in Montana
Elizabeth Given, 86, died July 16, 2012, at Peace Hospice of Montana in Great Falls. A memorial service will be held at the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation, 600 Third Avenue, North, Great Falls, Mont., on Monday Aug. 13, 2012, at 11 a.m. Her ashes will be buried at the Clark family gravesite at Mission at a later date.
Elizabeth was born in Winner on Dec. 3, 1925, daughter of the late Rev. John B. Clark and Rebecca Elizabeth Miller Clark, and granddaughter of the Rev. Aaron Clark and his wife Sarah, all of whom ministered in the Sioux Nation.
Elizabeth graduated from Mobridge High School in 1943, and received her degree in Junior Occupational Therapy from Sioux Falls College (now known as the University of Sioux Falls) in May 1946. From 1949 to 1962, Elizabeth joined her uncle, the Rev. David W. Clark at the Navajo Good Shepherd Mission in Fort Defiance, Ariz., where she taught pre-school. In 1952, Elizabeth married Davis Given, an Episcopal priest at Good Shepherd Mission, but their marriage eventually ended and they had no children.
Elizabeth then moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with her sister Kathryn, where she lived throughout the 1960s, and together they ran a dry cleaning store in Oakland, Calif. Elizabeth also taught at Noah's Ark Pre-school at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Richmond, Calif., where her students included a niece and nephew. After Kathryn passed away in 1972, Elizabeth moved to Santa Fe, N.M., for several years, where she worked in a doctor's office as a receptionist and doing medical transcription. In 1981, she moved to Great Falls to be close to her sister Dorothy Jean Clark Mattheisen. She lived with her sister until 1996 and worked in a pharmacy at the Columbus Hospital until she retired in 1990, but continued to work part-time until 1998.
Elizabeth continued to be active in her church and enjoyed spending time with a very special group of ladies who jokingly called themselves the "Home Aloners." She was dedicated to her family and devoted to her friends, providing loving support to those near and far. She will be sorely missed.
Elizabeth is survived by her brother-in-law, the Rev. Lester L. Westling, Jr.; sisters-in-law, Laura Clark and Helen Clark; nieces and nephews, Robert (Karla) Mattheisen, Larry (Laurie) Mattheisen, Kay Mattheisen Ryan, Rebecca Mattheisen McHugh, William Mattheisen (Dennis Shannon), Paul (Sandy) Clark, Jr., Stephen Clark, John (Kim) Clark, David Clark, Peter (Alice) Clark, Kathryn Clark Wilcox, Karla (Peter) Westling Bakke, Lester L. Westling III, Karen (Brett) Westling Jerome, Judith Clark Stanley, Rebecca Clark (Blake Wood), Barbara Clark, and their children and grandchildren.
Elizabeth was preceded in death by her sisters and brothers, Robert Miller Clark, Dorothy Jean Clark Mattheisen, John William (Bill) Clark, the Rev. Paul Austin Clark, Marjorie Clark Westling, Kathryn Clark King; and nephew John Mattheisen.
Memorial contributions may be given in Elizabeth's name to Peace Hospice of Montana, the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation, or a charity of your choice.

Multi-purpose, one part UV curing system designed for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation
Master Bond UV25 is a multi-purpose, one part UV curing system for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation that features excellent optical clarity, superb physical properties, moderate viscosity and most importantly, an ultra high glass transition temperature (Tg) of over 180°C. UV25 cures readily in 20-30 seconds when exposed to a UV light source emitting at a wavelength of 320-365 nm with an energy output as low as 20-40 milliwatts per cm². The rate of cure depends upon the compound's distance from the light source, the thickness of the section and of course the intensity of the light source. It should be noted that the system can cure in sections up to 0.100-0.120 inches. However, when bonding, sections of a few thousandths of an inch are more than adequate. Master Bond UV25 is not oxygen inhibited and therefore does not require any special treatment in that regard. It bonds well to glass, surface treated metals and plastics such as polycarbonates and acrylics, among others. UV25 is not only effective for bonding applications; it can also be used as a coating, sealant or encapsulant. While it offers good chemical resistance, its temperature resistance is amazing. UV25's Tg, as measured by TMA, is 186°C—far higher than any other commercially available UV. The system does not contain any solvents or volatiles and features low shrinkage upon curing. Its service temperature range is -60°F to +500°F. UV25 is an outstanding electrical insulator. Ideal for high production applications where fast fixture times, rapid curing and high temperature resistance are vital, UV25 is widely used in aerospace, fiber-optic, optical, electronic and related industries. Particular attention should be paid to the storage and handling information which is described in the last section of this data sheet.

Overall Member Rating
Explorer of the Seas - Western Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Embarking was the quickest we had experienced thus far as there was no waiting to go on board and no lines. Perhaps everyone was paying attention to those passes in our documents stating no one would be allowed to board until 2pm. We were in the Windjammer eating by noon.
Food was great as usual. We had Lucito from India as our waiter this time. Oscar was his assistant and did a fantastic job as well. Moses, our head waiter was with us each and every night and checked in with each and every guest. These gentlemen worked very hard for their tips and we rewarded them much extra! We did not visit Portofinos but our tablemates had More and thought it was good as usual. We enjoyed Johnny Rockets for the first time and oh those milkshakes!
We are spoiled with corner aft cabins. Thanks to our TA for working diligent to get them for us. Our room was great and the balcony is smaller than 7388 right below us. We had a door instead of sliding door to the balcony and once we got used to how to work it we were great. Amanda, our steward, did an outstanding job taking care of us. No complaints at all.
We loved the ice skating shows, love and marriage, and quest of course. We had been used to Alan Brooks as our CD, but Eric sure held his own with this crowd. He changed things up a bit doing some of the activities in the royal promenade, but he sure got the guests attending more functions this way!!!
We attended a great meet and mingle and the crown and anchor party. We met some wonderful people both online with our cruise critic buddies and also fellow c and a members.
The ports: We did a city tour and air boat ride in Belize. These citizens are great. We were treated fantastic and enjoyed our ride and learning about the people of the city of Belize. We are anxious to return here. Next stop,Costa Maya, we did the usual stores in the port area but took the taxi to go to town to see if it was better than last year. Wow...what fun we had. We shopped and talked to so many folks and sat in swings and drank. Oh and the massages....the we should have done that...next time for sure. Then Cozumel. We shopped and shopped and shopped. We returned to some back street shoppes we found last year and found more neat stores to go into. The people are so great. We can't wait to get back. Then Grand Cayman where we took the Atlantis sub tour. Wow...what a neat tour. The water was very rough getting out and back from the sub but once inside you didn't know that. We saw some great sea life and a huge lobster.
Our sea days were spent in the spa the first sea day. I enjoyed a great facial and foot massage and the hubby had to have a swedish massage. The second sea day we lounged at the pool enjoying the music and contests going on.
We are booked already for Jewel of the Seas in Dec to visit these ports again, but we will be back on the Explorer in Feb 08 for a 12 night cruise in cabin 7388.
Leaving the ship was sad as we had a wonderful time once again. This crew takes great care of the ship and are very proud. We were off and on our way through customs around 10am. This is were you get delayed at no fault of RCCL. Our government has to find ways of making money and they treat you like you are trying to get something over on them when they look at your forms. I would really like to tell them to open my suitcases and look at my seapass bill and then tell me what I am smuggling in....nah, I do want to cruise again.
Final thoughts: Oh yes we are cruising again and on the Explorer. We enjoy and appreciate how we are treated and talked to many other guests who have cruised many other lines and yet keep returning to RCCL. Less

UF's Jordan, 3 others receive SEC honors
Published: Monday, November 4, 2013 at 5:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 4, 2013 at 5:22 p.m.
Florida's Savannah Jordan is the first freshman in SEC history to be named the league's Offensive Player of the Year, the conference announced Monday.
Joining Jordan on the league's first team are junior midfielder Havana Solaun and defender Christen Westphal. Jordan is the second consecutive Gator named the SEC Offensive Player of the Year, as Erika Tymrak earned the honor as a senior in 2012. A Gator has now picked up a SEC Player of the Year honor 13 times in the program's history. Jordan also is the third Gator to be named SEC Freshman of the Year.
Jordan is second in the nation with 20 goals scored.
UF midfielder Pamela Begič joins Jordan on the SEC All-Freshman team.
The Gators now head to the SEC Tournament in Orange Beach, Ala. Florida will open play Wednesday at 6 p.m. and will face the winner of Monday's play-in match of Arkansas and Missouri. The Gators are the defending SEC Tournament champions and have claimed the tournament title 10 times in the program's 18 previous appearances.

Alternative Games Is All About Linux Gaming
Yesterday we talked about Frozenbyte wanting Linux gamers to help test their Linux game port of Trine. We also mentioned that Frozenbyte's Trine 2 would likely be coming to Linux and that this work for Frozenbyte was being done by Alternative Games, a company we never heard of. We have now received an email from Tapio Honkonen, the CEO of this company that's said to be all about Linux gaming.
Yesterday we mentioned that it looked like Alternative Games came out of IGIOS, the company that previously ported the Shadowgrounds games to Linux. This is in fact correct. Tapio Honkonen tells Phoronix that Alternative Games was founded by the IGIOS Linux team. The mission of Alternative Games is specifically to focus upon porting games to Linux.

As many years as I have been a Heisman Trophy voter, this may have been the most difficult season I can remember.
Many of the preseason Heisman Trophy candidates kept falling out of the race as the season progressed. In the end there was no Marcus Mariota, after Oregon dropped out of the national championship picture.
Johnny Manziel had better numbers than last season, but his Texas A&M team suffered four losses. AJ McCarron probably lost his chance to win it when Alabama lost to Auburn in the SEC Championship Game. It allowed Auburn running back Tre Mason to leapfrog a lot of candidates and he would finish sixth overall.
Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller was a preseason No. 1 choice on at least one website. But Miller was inconsistent and the Buckeyes lost to Michigan State. He finished ninth in Heisman voting.
Others projected in a preseason Heisman poll included Georgia QB Aaron Murray, Stanford QB Kevin Hogan, Clemson QB Tajh Boyd, Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez, Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater and Michigan QB Devin Gardner. None of those finished in the top 10 Saturday.
The only question concerning Heisman winner Jameis Winston was after he was accused of a sexual assault on a woman in Tallahassee. Because the Heisman Trust has added a clause in its mission statement that voters should not only vote for the best player in college football, but also find the candidates to be men of integrity.
I was one of many voters who waited until Winston was either acquitted or charged. Even though there were some other incidents in Winston's past, such as when he and some buddies were in a fast food restaurant and an employee said that Winston was taking paper ketchup cups and filling them with soft drinks and drinking them without
Here's why I went ahead and voted for Winston. He was far and away the best player on the best team and without him, the Seminoles would not have gone undefeated.
I also voted for him in hopes that if he won the Heisman, it would help make him a better person. I think peer pressure and being around all the former Heisman winners would afford them a chance to mentor him.
I think the pressure of being a Heisman winner would prevent anyone from doing something that would discredit the Heisman award. I think it affected an immature Manziel and let's not forget that Winston is the youngest (19) Heisman Trophy winner in the history of the award. I shudder to think that some of the things I did when I was that age would be made public information.
FSU Coach Jimbo Fisher told Winston for him to be a man, the kid in him must die.
"I believe the kid in me has died," Winston said in New York City. "I'm always going to have my personality. I'm always going to have my character. But I have to become a man."
His 2,206 points eclipsed runner-up McCarron's point total of 704 by one of the largest margins ever. It could have been worse if not for the 115 voters who failed to put Winston on their ballot. They had to be voters who refused to vote for him because of his off the field publicity.
On the field Winston was deserving. I hope he understands he needs to be deserving off the field.

Over a 5 year span, attic insulation can settle as much as 20%, significantly reducing the insulation performance. A rule of thumb is if you can see the joists in your attic, you do not have adequate insulation. An attic that is not properly insulated can significantly increase you cooling and heating costs.
We can help?
- We have been insulating homes in the KC Metro area for over 40 years.
- Our prices are comparable to the Big Box Stores.
- We care about your home. Many companies will insulate without air sealing. Energy Star recommends both air sealing and insulating to improve the overall comfort and energy efficiency of your home.
- We can be in and out of your home in ONE day.
16" to 18" is an adequate amount of insulation to have in your home. Insulation performance is measured by R-value (its ability to resist heat flow). Higher R-values mean more insulating power. R-49 is the recommended level of insulation for homes located in the Midwest, that is equivalent to about 18 inches of insulation. Most homes in the Kansas City Area only have around 6 inches of insulation in their attic.
How do I know if I have enough insulation and
if my home is properly sealed?
You first want to take a look in your attic and measure how much insulation you have. Most homes, even newer homes, lack adequate insulation and have areas where air is constantly leaking out of their homes. If you live in a split level home, these are notorious for air leaks and inadequate insulation. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, most of the money that you spend to heat and cool your home is disappearing through cracks and holes in your ceiling, walls, and floor. This is why insulating and sealing your home is so important.
- 31% through floors, walls, and ceilings
- 15% through your duct work
- 13% through plumbing penetrations
- 11% through doors
- 10% through windows
Why air sealing is as important as insulation.
- Insulation works best when air is not moving through or around it. So it is very important to seal air leaks before installing insulation to ensure that you get the best performance and to make certain that your heating and cooling systems operate efficiently.

HUNDREDS of people have signed petitions opposing plans to introduce on-street car parking charges in Ambleside.
Created by Lakes county councillor Heidi Halliday, an online petition has attracted more than 500 signatures in one week.
The Spar has also gathered hundreds on a petition at its Compston Road site and another has been created by outdoor swimming experts and Compston Road-based business, Head to the Hills.
Cumbria County Council is controversially expected to rubber-stamp plans to introduce the charges next month.
But the move has been blasted amid claims it will drive business away from the centre of the town.
The petition created by Coun Halliday says: "Shoppers faced with a charge to buy a loaf of bread and a pint of milk will instead use Sainsbury's with its free parking facility.
"I cannot and will not support the introduction of charging when it is potentially going to cost people's jobs and livelihoods.
"This decision also effects people in areas like Rydal, Grasmere and Langdale who need to come to Ambleside to access services."
- Born in 2017: Meet South Lakeland and Eden's newest arrivals
- 'Speed table' to be installed on Aynam Road at Kendal
- Three historic South Cumbrian pubs feature in new Campaign for Real Ale book
- Ulverston man delivers perfect proposal from the sky
Streets in Ambleside included in the proposal are Cheapside, Church Street, Compston Road, Compston Street, Kelsick Road, King Street, Knott Street, Market Place, Vicarage Road and Waterhead.
Spar director Christine Newton said the charges would have a 'major effect on all town centre businesses'.
"There is very strong feeling against this," she said. Her husband Cliff, who is also a director, added: "One hour is enough now to pop into shops, but this could kill off the town centre."
Coun Keith Little, Cumbria County Council cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "Nearly every other local authority in the country charges motorists to park in high-demand locations.
"In a climate where the council is losing one pound in every four we used to have to spend, we need to cover our costs in enforcing parking restrictions. Revenue from on-street parking charges will be used to pay for effective enforcement."
Lakes Parish Council was due to discuss the issue at a meeting last night.
Coun Halliday's petition is available at: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/say-no-to-on-street-parking-charges and Head to the Hills' at councilportal.cumbria.gov.uk/mgePetitionListDisplay.aspx .

Snake's Revenge
Boss FAQ by Seth0708
Updated: 04/14/13 | Search Guide | Bookmark Guide
Table of Contents
Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in April of 1990. It was a European and American release only. Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear series, was not involved in the development of this game. Because of this it is often criticized by fans of the series, but even the staunchest critic of Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge does have to be thankful it was released. Hideo Kojima in an interview has stated that it was the release of this game that prompted him to push for the development of a sequel to the original Metal Gear on the MSX. This project eventually ended with the release of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, without which it is unlikely that any other Metal Gear games would've been released.
This guide solely covers the bosses present in Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge. You will not find a general walkthrough here; if that is what you need, there are several here on GameFAQs. This guide assumes you have all the available equipment up to each given boss and does not tell you where to find it. So without further adieu we will move on to the bosses themselves.
Ultra-Sheik Assault Unit
Before facing this boss make sure your rations are full and you are at rank two. Double-back into the jungle to stock up on rations if you have to. The Ultra-Sheik Assault Unit is composed of five robotic soldiers. They act very simply. They'll form up ranks, in different shapes depending upon how many are left, and then charge at Snake. They then repeat this. Dodging a charge is very difficult and you probably will not do it often. Begin this battle by using your grenades and plastic explosives. Once they run out switch to your H&K MP5 Machinegun. As they drop off the group becomes easier and easier to dodge. Watch they will move in on your position and follow you as you try to shift out of the way, but if you have enough space you can outrun them once you've killed one or two of them. Begin in one of the upper corners and move down as they approach, but don't get boxed into a corner or they might get two hits on you instead of the usual one. When you are hit, run out of the group so this does not happen. It takes five grenade hits to kill one robot, but if you hit more than one with a blast you can take a hit off each one you hit. If you have full rations and grenades you should be able to make it through this fight even if you take a hit every time they charge.
Grenader Unit
Harry, Curly, and Moe await you behind some sandbag barricades. These guys are actually quite easy and the fact that there are no rations to be found on the ship really shouldn't matter. The three grenaders will not move from behind the sandbags, but instead will each toss a grenade every few seconds. Switch to your own grenades and start running. Keep moving and you should be able to dodge their attacks without any trouble. When you get an opening, toss two or three grenades over the sandbags at one of the trio. Each of the stooges takes six hit to kill. Take out the middle guy first as his grenades don't need to travel as far as the others to hit you. From there take out one or the other of the other two. When you run out of grenades, swith to your plastic explosives and rush between the sandbags. (Do not step in the holes the bosses occupied because it causes instant death.) Lay one right next to the remaining grenader and run out. Run in a circle around the middle sandbag, laying a mine as you go by him. Two or three of these will finish him off. By far this is the easiest boss battle of the game (I beat them without taking a hit myself) so it shouldn't be too much trouble to get through.
The Imposter
On the train in John Turner's cell you will discover that the Foxhound operative has been killed and replaced by the Imposter. Immediately he will take off some of your life and then will attack you with claymore mines. Hug the upper wall and run back towards the door. If you step anywhere in the middle the floor will fall out and you will die. Just get back to the other side and whip out your remote missiles. Dodge the shrapnel from the claymore mines not-John fires and take aim with a remote missile when you have an opening. It takes about eight missiles to kill him. Once he's dead the floor remains trapped, but you need to go over to his body and claim the Power Armor off of it. From there this fight is over.
Nagmachon (Tank)
This fight takes place across several screens. You'll face the Nagmachon on a bridge that stretches vertically. The tank will fire exploding shells down the bridge while it rushes back and forth across it. It consumes the entire width of the bridge, save a few small openings on either side. You can step into these to avoid getting run over, but if you step too far you'll fall into the water and die. Getting run over by the tank will also result in immediate death, so you basically have to get through this fight without once getting hit. The only weapon that damages the tank is the mines. Switch to them and move forward. Be warned that the tank continues to move even when it is off the screen, so it can run you over as you enter a screen. Essentially what you need to do is move to the center of the bridge (the middle screen) and plant three mines near the top. Wait for the tank to come down onto the screen and hang near the bottom while it runs over the mines. Once it hits all three, quickly retreat down a screen. Lay three mines on the bottom screen and move to the dirt at the very bottom. Wait for the tank to run over these mines and fall back. Once it does move up a screen and repeat. It takes fifteen or so mines to destroy the tank.
Higharolla Kockamamie
Okay not really. Higharolla Kockamamie is revealed to be none other than Big Boss right before this fight. For the Search Function of this guide, however, I decided not to spoil it so I used his alias for the heading of this fight. Immediately run to the upper right corner. Equip the body armor and the remote missile. Begin firing and direct the missiles at Big Boss. His first form will fall in nine hits. Big Boss isn't done yet though. He'll transform himself into a cyborg (or snatcher, depending on who you ask) and proclaim his sheer invincibility. Switch to the fifth key card and flee through the bottom middle door. Big Boss will give chase, so switch to the fourth key card and flee south again. In the next room switch to the third key card and flee through the far right door. From here equip your body armor and either your mines or plastic explosives. You need to lay them at his feet. This is the only way to damage him. It takes twenty-five mines/explosives to defeat him. The best method I have discovered for killing him is to simply equip the mines and walk right up beside him. Start dropping mines immediately. They'll start to explode immediately, allowing you to continuosly drop them. When your health starts to run low, simply use a ration. He'll fall in thirty seconds or less.
Metal Gear 2 (Ultra-Sheik Nuclear Attack Tank)
I'm listing both names this thing goes by (the first in-game, the second in the manual). Although this thing has no attacks, it is quite difficult if you aren't too good with the remote missiles. What you need to do is to launch a missile through the small shaft above you, pray that none of the three shutters close while you guide it through, and then hit the yellow area with an arrow on the Metal Gear 2. You have to do this ten times and you have a time limit. There's really not a lot to say about it. The shutters open and close at random, aggaravating the situation. Once you hit the Metal Gear 2 ten times you finish the game.

|Negative Zone
|Traps opponents in a void that damages them and forces them to do random things.
The Negative Zone is Luigi's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Luigi dances, and a large, greenish-tint void surrounds him. Inside the void, the colors of the environment, the other characters inside the void, and Luigi himself become inverted with a Negative-like effect. Opponents caught in the void fall victim to all sorts of afflictions given out randomly to opponents.
Luigi dances, and a large, greenish-tint void surrounds him. Inside the void, the colors of the environment, the other characters inside the void, and Luigi himself become inverted with a Negative-like effect. Luigi dances eerily and hypnotically and chants for the first few seconds of the Final Smash, but is unaffected by the Negative Zone (except a minor decrease in speed, while still being faster than most other characters) when he's done. Even if Luigi dies, the Final Smash does not immediately end. Using this move while over the edge may result in an SD as the zone sinks until Luigi's dance is finished and while he is dancing he cannot move. If opponents are caught in the Negative Zone, they become open targets as Luigi charges his foes and knocks them off the stage. The Fire Jump Punch can be used to great effect, very often dealing a One-hit KO in the affected zone. When the Negative Zone disappears, the flowers and the dizziness opponents were given will remain and inflict slightly more damage after the Final Smash ends. Unlike other Final Smashes, Luigi's Final Smash can pierce invincible opponents with any effect. For greater effect try to play on small stages and use Luigi's Final Smash in the center of the stage. This will force all players to stay inside the zone. As the entire stage is covered by the this. leaving nowhere to stand safely away.
However, it is easy to escape by just rolling out, although the victim must still be careful to not get hit by Luigi. The move is very useful in team matches if one of Luigi's partners is a hard-hitter (e.g.: Donkey Kong, Ganondorf, Ike or Bowser).
|Luigi's Special Moves
|Standard Special
|Side Special
|Green Missile
|Up Special
|Super Jump Punch
|Down Special
|Luigi Cyclone
|Final Smash
|Negative Zone
|Poltergust 5000
A glitch exists that the Negative Zone is one of the Final Smashes that can be affected in Bridge of Eldin. Using it where the gaping hole is right when the bridge reappears does a small effect on the move. The Final Smash will activate, but Luigi fails to do the dance done in the first half of the duration of the move. This can provide an advantage to Luigi, as the player will be able to control Luigi the whole time and have more time to attack opponents and deal damage.
List of effects
- Drastically reduced attack power.
- Weight reduction/decreased launch resistance, therefore greater launch distance when hit, making a lot of Luigi's moves (such as his Smash attacks and Super Jump Punch) effective finishers, even at very low percentages.
- Increased likelihood of Prat Falling.
- Flower growth on head, which causes damage (steadily).
- Dizziness as if shield broke (this can happen to aerial characters, which may KO them if not above a platform).
- Uncontrollable taunting.
- Sudden sleepiness (which can last from a few seconds to several minutes).
- Timeslow effect.
Invincibility does not stop effects from taking place.
The move is unique to Brawl. However, the name may be a reference to Luigi always being in his brother's shadow (causing a severe inferiority complex, ironically Luigi is considered stronger than Mario by the tier list), the fact that Luigi was originally just a palette swap of Mario's color scheme, the Negative Zone bonus areas in Super Mario Bros 2, the infamous "Minus World" glitch in the original Super Mario Bros., the inverted overworld in Super Mario Bros. 2, or the fact that every color viewed through the bubble is changed into its false color.
Trophy Description
Luigi's Final Smash. As exotic music plays, he performs a dance befitting a sorcerer's incantation. A barrier envelops him, negatively impacting all in his area. Random effects include getting launched, sleeping, moving in slow motion, tripping, fainting, and losing attack power. This technique is a reflection of the dark side he embraced in his brother's shadow.
- If one faces a CPU Luigi and he uses Negative Zone, he will almost always only spam his Fireballs over and over again, even if his AI is set to Level 9. The CPU will start to use different attacks after the circle begins fading out.
- Despite Luigi's Down Taunt having set knockback, it is still significantly more powerful in the Negative Zone, even powerful enough to OHKO lighter characters. This might mean that rather than making characters lighter, the Negative Zone decreases launch resistance.
- This is one of the three Final Smashes that includes the character performing a dance, the others are Peach Blossom and Waddle Dee Army.
- In the PAL version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the last line of the trophy reads: In contrast to the oddness of the dance, this is a terribly powerful Final Smash.

It's not hers either. Why doesn't she run for the senate from Virginia? She's spent most of her life there.
You missed my point..the establishment is trying to make her out as evil for daring to contemplate a primary run..she has every right to do so..she moved her family to Wyoming last year...look..if Hillary can parachute into NY to run for Senate..at least Cheney has long time family roots in Wyoming..
