Takamaru makes his first appearance as a playable character to the Super Smash Bros. franchise in Super 5mash Bros. 5. Takamaru first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a sticker and then again as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. This marks his first time as a playable character. Takamaru is an extremely quick that can quickly close gaps between himself and his foes while executing blinding fast sword strikes. Takamau's emphasis is speed, agility, and precision which makes him a suitable character for speed lovers but he needs precise and carefully calculated hits to deal enough damage.
Takamaru emphasis on speed and momentum; carrying more damage the faster he is moving. Many of his movements can accelerate his speed such as his dashing animation which renders him a blur rather than fully visible though his walking animation is similar to the rest of the cast. In addition, his second jump also renders him a blur but reappears near the end of his second jump as he slows down. His rolling and air dodging animations are also a blur His attacks carry momentum and do the most damage when he is moving quickly rather than standing. This is also true as he moves about in the air. He truly is the unseen blade and strikes when foes least expect it.
Takamaru emphasis on speed and his long reach due to his swords length. Due to keeping his sword in the sheathe, his attacks can be fairly surprising and hard to predict. Takamaru is the type of character that in order to fight against him, you have to know the character well. Takamaru's attacks focuses on unleashing quick sword slashes and then returns the blade to its sheath in one quick succession. He can easily guard himself with quick pokes and slashes that prevents character from entering his space and then can charge in with a quick dash to deal damage. However, he is poor at close combat and has very few moves that help protect himself when they get within his space. Most of his sword slashes have a disjointed hitbox at the tip of the sword though none at the base. Takamaru is a mid-ranged fighter with some attacks that are short or far ranged. He is best suited for speedy hit and run techniques and quick attacks that keep him within striking distance but far enough from his opponents.

"Takamaru is a famed swordsman known for his dedication to protecting the innocent and upholding justice. Takamaru has a very one-sided view of justice and that law breakers who intend to prey on the innocent are 100% guilty. He wields his sword in the name of justice and utilizes many powerful swordsman and ninja techniques to take down his enemies. He first went against Lord Murasame who was possessed by an extra-terrestrial spirit. This is of course the usual day in Feudal Japan as Takamaru demonstrated his expertise in dealing in such delicate matters. I guess this makes Takamaru the first Nintendo to have direct contact with an extra-terrestrial entity...except for Samus."

"Sudden Charge is an attack that Takamaru must train intensely for. Breaking his concentration during training could be hazardous for himself and the person who disturbed him. When crouching on the ground, Takamaru will focus the essence of his soul into the sword. At the right moment, he will charge forth and strike the opponent as he dashes. Anyone caught in his path will soon learn to avoid it next time. However, anyone unlucky to be caught of when Takamaru stabs at the end...well...maybe they won't be having a second chance."

Whether it's from his unique abilities or way of throwing the blades, they will always return to Takamaru no matter where he is though they won't return if they get stuck in a wall obviously.

Ninja Takamaru
Unlock: Boss Battle Console
"Takamaru isn't just a skilled swordsman but is a talented ninja. Takamaru is capale of performing some high-level ninjutsu or "ninja techniques. These include throwing shurikens, vanishing from sight, commanding the elements, and other techniques pulled from fictional sources. Sadly, this outfit has never been seen in any Mysterious Castle Murasame game and was created just for Super Smash Bros.! That is pretty neat! The way the red scarf wraps around his neck reminds of a certain ninja frog pokemon. And his ninja clothes reminds me of a certain Sheikah ninja. Regardless, he isn't a copy of them and commands his own skill set!"

This costume was created just for Super Smash Bros.!
'Takamaru (Knife Transform)
Unlock: Match or Trophy Shop Blue
"Simply making a hand sign and going "Ha!" after throwing a knife won't make it grow in size. In order to achieve this attack, Takamaru had to spend years and years in isolation in the mountain forests to train for this attack. Takamaru throws a small kunai or "throwing knife" which doesn't really do much damage on its own but Takamaru can form the right hand sign to transform it to butter-knife sized to a huge giant butcher knife. However, Takamaru can only keep this transformation for a second or two so care must be taken to ensure this large knife finds its target before it returns to it's puny size."
Takamaru (Battoujutsu)
Unlock: Match or Trophy Shop White
"Battoujtsu is the art of "drawing one's blade from the sheathe quickly". While many samurai sought to master it, only a few actually succeeded. It leaves the swordsman open to attack but allows for quick reflexes and a surprise attack. Takamaru is one of those that succeeded. By charging the special attack, Takamaru can slash forward with such blinding speed that it appears invisible when performed. In fact, the effect is so great it distorts the area around it and can even damage opponents without it actually connecting! Anyone struck by this flash of steel lightning can kiss themselves "bye bye"."
Takamaru (Orange)
Unlock: Match or Trophy Shop
"Kouyo or "the fall colors" are a common activity in Japan where people journey out into the mountains to watch the beautiful autumn leaves as they change to orange, red brown, and purple. Takamaru, training in the mountains, felt so inspired by these colors that he commissioned from the developers an autumn leaf kimono coat and hakama that reflects his loves for the mountains of his home. Takamaru perfected this to the point that when he performed movements and attacks, autumn leaves would scatter out from him. He truly is a gifted and talented swordsman!"

"Spring is one of the most cherished seasons in Japan due to the sakura or "cherry blossoms" that graces the country.

"Takamaru may be a warrior, swordsman, and ninja but he deeply respects the opponents he faces. Such are the values of the samurai. He finds true joy in clashing swords with his opponents and feels he can openly communicate to his opponent better while fighting rather through words. To show that he respects the abilities and strength of his opponent, he bows to them in typical Japanese fashion as a way to show he acknowledges them as a true opponent. i guess you can say Takamaru shows his admiration through bowing as well as performing Smash attacks."

"Takamaru has trained his body and spirit extensively throughout the years. He can enter into a state of near invisibility thus rendering him veritually unseen to his opponents. His image only appears when attacking but, even then, it's like looking at him through a snow storm. Takamaru's power, strength, and speed has been increased due to this ability making him one of the most powerful assassins.

Director 2 Director
Masahiro Sakurai: Hello, I am Masahiro Sakurai, one of the directors for Super Smash Bros. 5.
Hisashi Koinuma: I am Hisashi Kounuma, producer for the Samurai Warrior series, Hyrule Warriors, and the upcoming remake for "Mysterious Castle Murasame". I assisted Mr. Sakurai is developing Takamaru into a playable character.
Sakurai: As you may remember, Takamaru was included into Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS as an available Assist Trophy where he threw windmill blades and performed powerful sword strikes. Generally, appearing as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. is great endorsement for the character. We saw this for Little Mac and Saki in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Both characters saw new games within their franchises.
(Video shows Takamaru in Super Smash Bros.for Wii U as well as well as Little Mac and Saki from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.)
Koinuma: Yes, this is true. I helped produce Samurai Warriors 3 which featured Mysterious Castle Murasame content. This was my first involvement in this franchise and something that I found to be very rewarding. After that, I wished to continue working in incorporating Nintendo content into the Warriors series. Being able to bring Hyrule Warriors into fruition was a dream come true. Finally, I immediately accepted when asked by Nintendo to develop a remake of Mysterious Castle Murasame and I look forward to the future of the series. When Mr. Sakurai contacted me about including Takamaru and Mysterious Castle Murasame content into Super Smash Bros. 5; I felt this was the next step in the right direction concerning this universe.
(Video shows game play footage from Samurai Warriors 3: Murasame Mode, Hyrule Warriors, and the Mysterious Castle Murasame remake.)
Sakurai: When we began developing Takamaru, we wanted to emphasis his quickness. He is incredibly quick and precise; almost to the point it can be a hindrance. Those who first pick him up may find he is fairly hard to control and to actually hit opponents but more advanced players, with some practice, may be able to predict where he will strike and an compensate for his quickness.
(Video shows Takamaru standing still and then instantly dashing quickly and jumping quickly.)
Koinuma: When I first played as Takamaru, I intended to perform a dash attack but I ended up dashing right past the opponent and attacking behind the character; completely missing my opponent. Takamaru has a slight button delay on some of his attacks. This is due the fact the majority of his attacks carry a sense of force. The faster Takamaru is moving, the more powerful his attacks are. At a standstill, his attacks are medium at best but, when dashing full force and on the move; he is an unstoppable force. Slower opponents will find it very hard to deal enough damage to Takamaru.
(Video shows ta split screen of game play and the controller. Takamaru dashes and performs a dash attack and corresponds with the player input the command. On the gameplay portion, it shows Takamaru continuing to dash but performing attack attack a second after the command thus completely missing the opponent. The next scene shows the same split screen by the input command is done earlier thus allowing Takamaru to perform the attack and connect it.)
Sakurai: His movements also focus on tricking the opponent. As you can see in this video, his rolls as well as air and land dodges not only makes Takamaru vanish momentarily but leaves an after image that is meant to trick opponents. This is also true for when he first dashes and several of his special moves. He is a tricky fighter that is hard to master. A true warrior.
(The video shows takamaru rolling and leaving an afterimage after vanishing.)
Koinuma: However, he does have his share of weaknesses. As previously stated, he is less powerful when not running or jumping at full speeds. When he is attacked, he immediately loses this momentum thus making him less powerful. Fortunately, he has a relatively quick start up for his dashing movements. Besides his generally weak attacks, he is focused less on defense so he can be launched into the air fairly easily if someone can manage to get their hands on him.
(Video shows Takamaru rolling around but Donkey Kong manages to slam his fist into Takamaru and KO's Takamaru.)
Sakurai: He is a fighter that fans of quick and agile characters will like a lot. In previous installments, we added quick fighters such as Zero Suit Samus, Shiek, and Greninja. Takamaru not only differs because he is a Samurai and wields a blade but because he's focuses on gaining momentum to augment his strength. The longer and faster he moves, the more damaging his attacks are.
Koinuma: We look forward to seeing how well Takamaru does. While I may be biased since I have invested a lot of myself into the Mysterious Castle Murasame series but he is easily my most favorite character. The thrill of moving at such high speeds and landing lightning fast sword strikes is really what Takamaru is all about. And he doesn't look half bad when doing that. :laughs:
Sakurai: :laughs:
Smash Sneak a Peek
Introduction: The Smash Sneak a Peek is a look into the development and implementation of Takamaru for Super 5mash Bros. 5 and why Takamaru made the roster while some others didn't.
Takamaru was slated for the roster as early as September shortly after the release of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Being a contender for a roster spot in the games development, he was regulated to an Assist Trophy. Taking a page from Little Mac's rise to fame; I decided to follow suit and promote Takamaru to the roster with the goal of promoting and advancing him in the Nintendo spotlight. He has been apart of this project since day one and still remains one of the first characters I added. In addition, I finished his moveset first which set the tone and standard for future movesets.
Upon implementation, I knew I wanted to create a character that is nimble and fast to the extent that it would be hard to utilize him. His strengths were outlined as being fast, precise, and spacey with an emphasis on a high learning curve. Due to the apparent lag in his button commands, fast speeds, and momentum mechanic; I feel this character is best suited for intermmediate to advanced players. A Takamaru in the hand of a master is a force of nature. I didn't want Takamaru to be to over powered so that is why I made him sort of a "ice cannon on speed" he moves and hits fast but shatters under pressure. I watched game play videos of The Mysterious Castle Murasame and Samurai Warriors 3: Murasame Mode as well as the other Samurai Warrior games and Muramasa: The Demon Blade. I also drew some move set and animation inspiration from Ryu Hayabusa from the Ninja Gaiden series who was actually slated to be a newcomer for this game but was pushed out by the characters Takamaru and Impa who slightly fill in that archetype.
I really wanted to expand this character from what we have seen in games he has appeared him and give him a Super Smash Bros. personality that is unique within the series. We have the silent ninja Sheik with his/her silent demeanor and resolution as well as Greninja with his froggy acrobatics but we have yet to have a fully fledged samurai warrior hence why I REALLY focused on this when creating and molding his move set. I wanted him to exude these samurai like qualities. To achieve this, I studied both the history of the samurai and ninja as well as watched various films such as "Tasogare Seibei" and "47 Ronin" (re-watched actually lol).
Takamaru is character that I really wanted players to not only use but appreciate as he has such potential for creativity and personality. We love Mario because he is Mario but we don't know Takamaru that much so basically building him from the ground up was a complete thrill and I am happy how he turned out. I hope you too consider picking up Takamaru and giving him a try!
- Takamaru was the last 1984 character to be added after Link, Samus, and Pit.

Picture: David Williams as Carol Beer Film stills from HBO's 'Little Britain USA' Season 1 USA - 2008
TiVo's deal with Blockbuster went into limited operation Tuesday as subscribers were provided a list of movie titles that they could begin downloading for around $3.00-4.00 each to rent and $15.00 to buy. In a statement, Bruce Anderson, the head of Blockbuster On Demand, said, "We're thrilled to give consumers another way to enjoy the movies they want most now with the convenience of their TiVo remote control in the comfort of their living room." TiVo has a separate deal with Netflix, the largest online movie renter, but unlike its deal with Blockbuster, which requires customers to download movies before they can view them, Netflix allows its titles to be streamed immediately via certain TiVo models. Meanwhile, as of Tuesday, subscribers to the Canadian pay-TV channel The Movie Network -- a kind of HBO for Canada -- were able to watch movies on demand via their computers.

UConn's School of Nursing has received a pledge of $ 2.3 million from Robin Froman and Steven Owen endowed faculty chair. The pledge will also support a professorship and research at the school. The gift, which is the largest ever for the School, of support and affection for UConn and
long affiliation with UConn.

Because Giving Opens Doors
In 2004, Elaine and her husband Chris established the McLeod Family Endowed Scholarship, their first of several gifts to UConn. Since then, the fund has provided scholarships to eight different nursing students. "We wanted to give back, and, of course, I am biased, but I think the School of Nursing and the nursing profession deserve our support."

Barbara and Donald Jonas Address Nursing Shortage
Occasionally, a donor's vision generates a new model of giving that affects countless others. This is the case with Barbara and Donald Jonas, philanthropists and noted art collectors who decided to increase their giving during their lifetimes. In early 2006, the couple established the Jonas Center for Nursing Excellence, a first-of-its-kind philanthropic program dedicated to advancing the nursing profession in New York City.

Young Alum Pays Back Scholarship In Full
For School of Nursing alumna Lindsay Bolt '04, the decision to give back to UConn was a personal one, based on a long-running friendly relationship with the donor who helped fund her own education. Over the period of several years, in partial donations every month, Bolt managed to repay in full the scholarship support she received at UConn.

Planned Giving
The Charles Beach Society honors the many individuals that support the University through will, trust, retirement plan and life insurance gifts. The Society also honors donors who make gifts that will enhance their or a loved one's financial position, and ultimately support the School of Nursing's initiatives.
Memorial and Honor Donations
Many donors choose to honor a loved one or friend with a gift to support UConn in his or her name. Perhaps the gift is in memory of a grandmother who loved UConn athletics, an alum who attended the University or in honor of an inspirational professor. This link provides useful information to facilitate gifts made in someone's honor or memory. Thank you for your support.
Doug and Lynn Donaldson with scholarship recipient Jeannette Murphy (center).
"Nursing students graduate with the highest debt load of any undergraduate major at UConn.Given that the President's Challenge was available to make our money go further, we felt that now was the best time to make a gift that helps the School of Nursing begin to address Connecticut's growing shortage of nurses."
Doug and Lynn Donaldson
3 members, Charles Lewis Beach Society
"I recently received my PhD – my third degree from the School of Nursing. The School provided me with a foundation for a rewarding and successful career. When my husband Steve and I sat down to prepare our wills, we decided to do our part to help the School carry excellence in nursing education into the future. We are glad to give back in support of the generations of students to come."

Welcome to the first Passion 4 Fashion Link up of the year!
Each Friday i absolutely love seeing all your faces this little linkup and i thank each and everyone of you for joining in.
Today being the first of the year, i bring a wee bit of sparkle. Funny, i used to hate anything sequinned, deeming it chavy or just damn un-cool. But change is always good and i am the first to admit when i am wrong. And i admit i was wrong.
Now i freaking love some sparkle. Sequins are by new bff and what i love even more is when the sequins are attached to a simple casual piece, like this sweatshirt. Contrast is good in my books. Sequins imply dressy yet sweatshirt says casual. Win Win!
Are you a sequin/sparkle kind of girl?

Wealthwatch Member Chat 10-11-15 Part 2 of 2
Donnie: Statement of the Committee on Culture and Information on the closure of a number of media
Donnie: Of the Committee on Culture and Information in the House of Representatives and in the light of the tense atmosphere experienced by the Kurdistan Regional Government demands in the region preserving the lives of journalists and media workers,
the Committee expresses its deep concern of the authority of the region to close a number of media and space stations carrier of the protest movement under way in a number of areas, and it calls on the authorities in the governorates of Erbil and Dohuk to prevent these violations against the media ...
The deportation of journalists and the closure of the media is against the Iraqi constitution and the laws in force in the Kurdistan Region, so we demand accountability for the perpetrators of the deportation of journalists and the closure of offices NRT and other channels and the territory commitment to the Iraqi constitution and the laws in force in the Kurdistan Region.

chattels: Revived security forces advance on Ramadi
Donnie: www.parliament.iq/details... http://www.parliament.iq/details.aspx?id=50356&AlwType=Pre
chattels: www.iraqoilreport.com/new...
chattels: ‹@Donnie› " dueling news reports " :)
Donnie: :)
chattels: " parry and thrust " :)
chattels: Pro-government security forces have launched a multi-pronged attack to retake Ramadi, tightening the military blockade around the city and setting the stage for a deeper assault.
chattels: In the ensuing operation, which began early Tuesday morning, pro-government forces backed by U.S. air power have attacked IS-held positions leading to all of the city's entry points - north, east, and west. They have been able to clear and hold territory, and IS supply lines into the city appear to be cut.
chattels: Capt. Mousa Ismail, an officer with the 7th Iraqi Army Division involved in the Ramadi assault, said advancing soldiers had been able to hold territory largely due to the effectiveness of engineering units, which were defusing the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) left by retreating IS fighters. In the past, such booby traps have typically caused heavy casualties and prevented pro-government forces from advancing and securing territory swiftly. "Now there is an intention to set up a quick plan to enter the city of Ramadi," Ismail said.
chattels: Although the recent gains around the city have provided reasons for optimism, pro-government forces have not yet crossed bridges and passed other key choke points still controlled by IS militants, who seem likely to fight more tenaciously than IS fighters in the surrounding areas who had an avenue of retreat to the city center.
chattels: The recent operation has seen pro-government forces regain territory they have not held since May. That progress appears to bear the imprint of significant U.S. military planning, featuring coordinated action by a number of different forces operating out of multiple bases.
chattels: "This has had a great impact on the soldiers' morale."
chattels: After a summer of relative stalemate, the Shia militias began to withdraw from Ramadi in August. (They are still fighting around Fallujah.) The impetus for their withdrawal was never announced, but several security officials speculated there was a secret agreement struck between the Iraqi and U.S. governments and Shia militia leaders.
chattels: "What I have seen over the past few days was unbelievable," said a local police officer stationed at Habbaniya, also speaking in mid-September. "A great number of American armored vehicles and Abrams tanks arrived inside the base, as well as Apache helicopters. And a large force participated in reconnaissance with deployments west of Fallujah and east of Ramadi."

Durrington is known as a village with long and rich history which dates back to prehistory. The area was settled since Neolithic times although there is no evidence that people have lived here in continuity. The village itself has two sites from the Neolithic era – Woodhenge and Durrington Walls. What is even more interesting is that the famous ancient monumental structure Stonehenge is located about 2 miles from Durrington. Although this area was occupied by the Saxons there is a limited amount of evidence for this period probably because most of the structures were built from wood. Durrington is mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086 as an area with two estates. The village was hit by a devastating fire in the beginning of the 15th century, but this didn't stop the growth of this village. Durrington was influenced by the presence of military in this area in the 20th century. According to the last census, this village has a population of 5021.
The village has three schools, post office, few shops, swimming pool, fitness centre and many parks.
Church of England
The exact date when this church was built is unknown, but there is evidence that this church existed in the late 12th century. This church now has some elements that date back from this time like the Norman doorway and the arcade from the 12th century. The chancel itself was rebuilt in the beginning of the 13th century. In the middle of the 19th century the church was rebuilt by J.W. Hugall who was a famous Gothic revival architect and it was dedicated to All Saints.
Congregational church
This church exists since the 17th century and serves a small number of believers.
Woodhenge is a Neolithic henge monument which represents a timber circle. It is located very close to Stonehenge. Woodhenge was discovered in 1925 thanks to an aerial archeology survey led by Alexander Keiller. There are several rings of postholes.
Durrington Walls
This is another Neolithic site in Durrington. A recent excavation has found six houses from this period. Scientists believe that this place was one home to more than 1000 families making it the largest settlement from the Neolithic period in northern Europe.

This is an essential examination in any patient with acute abdomen because:
1-It is the best radiograph to show the presence of a small pneumoperitoneum.
2-A number of chest conditions may present as an acute abdominal pain : pneumonia (particularly lower lobe), MI, … .
3- Acute abdominal conditions may be complicated by chest pathology: pleural effusion frequently complicate acute pancreatitis.
4-Even when the chest radiograph is normal it
acts as a valuable baseline.
Small amount
The commonest radiological signs to be observed are :
1- A gas shadow within the bile ducts and/ or the gall bladder.
2- Complete or incomplete intestinal obstruction.
3- An abnormal location of an already observed gall stone.
The radiological appearance of large bowel obstruction depends on the state of competence of the ileocecal valve :
- TYPE 1A:the ileocecal valve is competent leading to dilated gas filled colon with its haustral markings and a distended thin-walled cecum but no distension of small bowel., this can lead to massively distended cecum, which is in then at a higher risk of perforation secondary to ischemia ( transverse cecal diameter of 9 cm had been suggested as the critical point above which the danger of perforation exists).
( young age group).

I was so impressed with how nice this rental was! Both bedrooms had very comfortable beds, we were steps away from the heated saltwater pool, everything you could need for a day at the beach is provided (chairs, umbrella, cooler, fishing poles, boogie boards and water noodles!). There is a nice patio area with a BBQ grill and table. Ines was a pleasure to do business with, and very accommodating.

Provided by the property include: Towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, coffee filters, WIFI
This townhouse looked exactly as it did on sites. It was perfect for 3 people, well kept and it had everything we needed, except grill did not work and reception on tv was horrible. Otherwise it served its purpose. Nice pool area.
Had the opportunity to stay here for four days and it was a nice place. Big rooms, Netflix, all the amenities you need. You are just 60 paces from the pool. It's a drive to the beach but anything else you need is about a city block away.
We enjoyed our stay and found this home to be very comfortable for us. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was a little small but worked well for us. We ate most of our meals on the outside patio. very comfortable. Pool was not crowded and water was warm. I would stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Nice, clean, easy access to restaurant's and shopping in Fort Myers.
This condo was very clean upon our arrival. The beds were very comfortable and linens were top notch. We had a sliding door that was slightly hard to open and the manager Ines had someone correct the problem the next day. Ines was very attentive unlike other places we have stayed. The pool was next door to our condo and was warm and inviting. This was a perfect place for my wife and I and our two small dogs. I highly recommend this condo. We have already told Ines we would like to rent next February.

Former National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden was heckled by attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference Friday after referring to himself as an "unrelenting libertarian."
Hayden's statement came shortly after a speech by Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst Judge Andrew Naptolitano in which he repeatedly pointed to the NSA's unabashed and unconstitutional activities surrounding dragnet surveillance.
"Let's talk about reality. Let's talk about facts. The judge is an unrelenting libertarian," Hayden said to extended applause.
As the crowd continued their positive response, Hayden interrupted by stating that he himself held identical views.
"So am I," Hayden said to audible confusion. "I'm an unrelenting libertarian who's also responsible for four decades of his life for another important part of that document, the part that says 'provide for the common defense.'"
Audience members immediately reacted to the claim with boos and protest, prompting one attendee to shout, "No, you're not!" as Hayden continued his speech.
Since the revelations of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, Hayden has begun attending debates across the country in an attempt to restore the agency's tarnished reputation.
Hayden's disdain for the rule of law, transparency and the American public becomes increasingly apparent with each passing sentence, as admittedly false talking points continue to pepper his speeches.
Less than one month ago during a speech at Washington and Lee University, Hayden stated that he used his own "mature judgment" to rewrite the Constitution in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks without congressional or presidential authorization.
Hayden made similar statements in late 2013 during an interview with USA Today, where he argued against the use of court warrants as outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
That same year Hayden also advocated for Chinese-style Internet censorship, bemoaning the fact that people can avoid being totally surveilled while online.
"The problem I have with the Internet is that it's anonymous," Hayden said during a speech at St. John's Episcopal Church.
In reality, the NSA has failed to provide one instance in which a terrorist attack was stopped with global surveillance despite claims from Hayden.
As noted by multiple whistleblowers including former NSA Technical Director William Binney, the NSA's true intent is to collect every digital communication in existence.
"It's being used to set up the way and means to control the population," Binney said during a December interview on the Alex Jones Show. "I've been referring to it as the new Stasi agency because that's exactly what the Stasi did, they had files on everyone…"

Ace comedian Kapil Sharma has been trying hard to keep The Kapil Sharma Show running. Now, the actor has reportedly taken a huge pay cut to prevent his show from getting off-air. Ever since Sunil Grover left the show, Kapil kept struggling to achieve good TRPs but nothing worked out.
This is known to all that the actor was about to sign Rs 110 crore deal for the show but now things have changed. A source revealed that Kapil didn't have other option and he had to say yes for a pay cut to keep the show on air adding that he is making more money with the show than the movies.
Speculations were rife that The Kapil Sharma Show will be replaced by Salman Khan's Dus Ka Dum. After Sunil left the show, the TRPs started falling. Kapil tried hard to save the show by introducing new characters but all went in vain.
Recently, when a fan asked Kapil to bring Sunil back on the show, the actor replied saying that he has asked him multiple times and he can return whenever he wants.
After Kapil and Sunil's ugly spate, the latter along with Chandan Prabhakar and Ali Asgar left TKSS. Currently, Sunil is enjoying being a tourist in Prague and has been sharing videos from there.

Ariel Pink is an oddity. At this point, he's best known for his affiliation with Animal Collective (he was the first non-Collective member on the Paw Tracks label), but few people heard his 2004 proper debut, The Doldrums. Pink, based out of some basement in the Los Angeles hills, makes the lowest of low-fi recordings, tumbling together smooth melodies and noise into warm but foreign textures. Using guitar/keys/bass/vocals and apparently his mouth for percussion, Pink sifts through the sounds of seventies radio, coming out sounding like early Beck, if Beck were Gary Wilson's nephew.
Worn Copy offers more of what The Doldrums brought to the table. Eleven-minute opener "Trepanated Earth" fades in on keyboards lifted from Boards of Canada and shifts through three movements. At times it's bombastic — shouting "the human race is a pile of dog shit!" is one of the highlights — at others it mimics classic radio rock. This and many of Worn Copy's seventeen tracks feel what it feels like to swim through a lukewarm pool, where warm spots mingle with jarring ice-cold patches. "Immune 2 Emotion" is a low-fi pop treasure, and "Jules Lost His Jewels" would sound at home on Ween's Pure Guava, hitting the same vocal pitch as "Push the Little Daisies" does.
But at times there are elongated non-sequiturs that, although they are challenging, tend to beg questions like this: Why so much, and when will it get exciting again? This aesthetic has come close to perfection before; the jumping around and general cut and splice of sounds, coupled with the low-fi home recording and excessive tracks, brings mid-career Guided by Voices to mind. Yet where Bee Thousand was like-minded in its excess of pop melodies, tape hiss and random interludes, it kept them brief and snappy. Worn Copy tends to drone on to the point where it's hard to remember what worked.
But for all its problems with grandiosity, the effect is memorable, and the prolific Pink succeeds in creating mood pieces for moods we rarely find ourselves in. It would be nice to see him harness the dozens of sounds swirling through his head, but it's pretty clear that coherence is in no way his style.

New movie: "Tsar"
Expand Messages
- For the Russophiles amongst us. Here's what's making the rounds at Cannes:
16th century. In a plotting Russia in the grip of chaos, Ivan the Terrible strongly believes he is invested by a holy mission. He establishes an absolute power, smashing with an astounding cruelty whoever gets in his way. During this reign of terror, the Head of Church, Filipp, great scholar and Ivan's close friend, dares to stand up and raise himself against the Sovereign's mystical tyranny."
"Both spectacular and pious, 'Tsar' positions itself between Sergei Eisenstein's 'Ivan the Terrible' and Andrei Tarkovsky's 'Andrei Rublev,' though without their originality and inspiration," writes Deborah Young in the Hollywood Reporter. "Still, this new Russian film is a rich-looking historical epic set in 16th century Moscow, then little more than a fortified village, where the forces of good and evil square off in an epic struggle between the spiritual monk Filipp and his childhood friend Ivan."
