Since its recent release, Mario Kart Wii has suffered from players cheating. This has been particularly noticeable in the Time Trial sections, where impossible times have been recorded.
Interestingly, the source of the problem was that once the timer hit 99 it would reset back to zero, allowing cheaters to then finish a track in under a second.
According to reports, Nintendo has now plugged these exploits and deleted records held by cheats.

Wasting 99 minutes to cheat. And they had to know it would get wiped right away. /me shakes head. Ah well, I'm sure it was fine while it lasted. I'm glad Ninty jumped on this right away. I hope this doesn't hint at a continuing battle with cheaters! That, or they can start marking accounts as cheaters if it becomes a recurring problem, and even allow an option to never race with or see any scores from confirmed cheaters. That'd be interesting.
Wiipaw said:
I thought that cheating meant hacking into the game for ones own benefits and ticking off other players. Actually, this isn't really a cheat, but a glitch. So, they'd be called "Glitchers"?
Wii Freak said:
Cheaters never prosper.
shadow said:
That's sick.
ToTaLgAmEr said:
That sucks, people shouldn't cheat.
insultman911 said:
That would take less than 2 hours, more than 1 hour to do the cheat anyway.
Diddy Kong Lover said:
GRRR! Why did they decide not to release it in America now?
Diddy Kong Lover said:
I'm looking forward to Rainbow Road, the next set of circuits and my other favorite jungles.

Crimson Fang said:
Hmm, can't they still cheat by waiting for the timer to get back to a time slightly under the current record?
Master Foot said:
That is a clever exploit. I feel sorry for the person who wasted their life trying to beat a 1 second lap time.
Plaugefiend said:
Wow how pathetic can people get.
wiiboy101 said:
And Nintendo did this with no patch or hard drive. Funny that hey, hmmm hard drive, whatever sony fanboys.
Crimson Fang said:
I had no idea you guys were against cheating so much. It's a good thing. Cheating's ruined a lot of games, all because of Action Replay and other cheat devices. I guess some people are too lazy to do things right.
YoshLee said:
Old saying, a winner never cheats and a cheater never wins.
Carnilent said:
You know what's really sad? How do you think those guys found out about the cheat? They were probably so bad it took them over 99 minutes to complete a lap! [Personally I don't like using cheats. I especially hate people who hack into games like pokemon and stuff who try to get omega pokemon and destroy all others with them. I only use cheats if the game gives them to you. (examples: New Super Mario Brothers, several other games)].
Diddy Kong Master said:
It's a waste of time cheating because nobody will believe them anyway.
Ian C said:
Hey I want to try that without online though.
Crimson Fang said:
Six days and it'll be out. I want to race you guys! Wii's World, host a tournament! Please?
Wiipaw said:
I'm ok with action replay, but only when I beat the game I'm using it with. People who use it to beat games using invincibility and unlimited [useful item] codes are just pathetic. Actually, I tell my parents to hide it so I won't get tempted.
wiiguy said:
If you tried this for every lap it'd take you like over 3 hours to finish 3 laps around the track. What a waste of time.
Hooly said:
What's the point of cheating. Everyone that possesed talent and played fair would be replaced by stupid hackers and cheaters that have nothing better to do than create unbeatable records. If I was one of those true record holders I would be angry.

Top reward and cashback cards
We take you through the best credit cards that reward your shopping habits...
I've had an American Express Platinum Cashback credit card for a while now.
Owning one has served me well. In my first year, I managed to earn £140 in cashback, and this year, I managed to rack up £25.
But it doesn't take a genius to work out £25 isn't as good as £140, and I've started to look for alternatives.
During the first three months when Amex Platinum offered a generous 5% on all purchases, I paid for everything on my card, from my travel season ticket to a pint of milk at the supermarket.
This heavy spending at the beginning allowed me to take advantage of the higher rate of cashback, and I reaped the rewards.
Now, as my third year approaches, the news that old Amex Platinum customers like me need to spend £4,250 every year just to qualify for cashback at all is starting to put me off.
After all, £4,250 is a lot of pints of milk.
Here's a quick look at the cashback cards on offer:
Card and provider | APR (typical) | Cashback offered | Other |
American Express Platinum Cashback | 19.9% | 5% for first three months (up to £100), then 0.5% on the first £3,500 of spend, 1% from £3,501 to £7,500, and 1.25% from £7,501 upwards. | Minimum income £30,000. No cashback paid for new customers if less than £3,000 is spent in one year. No cashback for existing customers (before August) if less than £4,250 is spent. |
Egg Money | 17.8% | 1% cashback | £1 per month fee. No cashback paid on amounts less than £5 |
Bank of Ireland Moneyback Gold | 17.9% | 0.5% cashback | Maximum cashback £75. |
There are three big players in the cashback market: Amex, Egg and Bank of Ireland, which offer very different deals.
Last year, my article New top cashback card - for some of you, offered a detailed comparison of the Amex and Egg offerings.
But some points are worth re-stressing. The rules have changed for existing and new Amex customers, so it's important to know where you stand.
If you got your card before mid-August last year, after your first anniversary, you'll need to spend £4,250 a year - that's an average of £350 a month - in order to qualify for any cashback at all.
With Egg, the catches are slightly different. As an Egg Money MasterCard holder, you have to spend a minimum of £500 each year in order to qualify for any cashback, and a minimum of £1,200 each year to break even with the £1 fee.
However, unless you spend around £1,000 a month or more Egg is still better than the American Express card outside the promotional period, not to mention it is accepted in more places.
A richer reward?
If you're looking for something different, you might want to consider a reward card instead. But with so many cards on offer, finding the right reward card can quickly become a needle and haystack dilemma.
Take Amex's new offering, the American Express Rewards Credit Card, which gives you up to three points for every £1 spent at major UK supermarkets, two points for every £1 at UK department stores and one point for every £1 spent elsewhere.
You'll also receive 6,000 bonus points (worth £30) when you spend £500 in the first three months, and can redeem these points at popular retailers like Amazon, Boots and Marks and Spencer.
Jane Baker's thorough review put the card through its paces, and she found that you could earn up to £200 while you shop with the card. However, she also found that if you used Amex's cashback card, you'd earn £279.
One of my favourite reward cards is the Airmiles Duo credit card from Lloyds TSB. Unlike most air miles credit cards, Airmiles does not charge taxes, fees and charges on top of miles you redeem.
With taxes and fees making up the bulk of the most of today's airfares, this can make a significant difference to the savings you'll make. Plus, if you don't have enough miles, you can top them up with cash.
Airmiles is offering a free 1,500 Airmiles voucher if you take out a card through the Airmiles website by January 31 and spend at least £10 by March 31. This is enough for two return flights to Paris or Amsterdam.
Another rewards credit card I like is the Amex Nectar card. The card offers two points for every pound spent at Nectar partners, and one point for every pound spent elsewhere. In addition, you get double points for the first three months
But that's not all. Nectar are now giving away points faster than the Bank of England is printing money, and it couldn't be a better time to cash in.
Now, every month you spend £500 or more on the Nectar credit card, you'll get 500 Nectar points on top of what you've already earned.
You can also earn more points at Nectar eStores, an online portal that works in the same way as cashback sites, except instead of pounds, you get paid in points. It's a good alternative to cashback if you shop regularly at Nectar partners, and the rewards can quickly stack up.

Connectivity Options: Evolution Thereof
We stayed at the Syracuse Sheraton while chaperoning a Marching Band trip, which led to meals in the Regents Ballroom, a large space (potentially) divided in three parts by the usual folding partitions. The wall in each section had a bank of RJ-11 and -45 jacks…
Obviously, back in the day, a single room with 25 Phone jacks and one (red) Data jack made perfect sense. Or maybe the ballroom has 75 phones lines and three Data connections? Hard to say.
Judging from the overall crud accumulation, the jacks aren't getting much use. I wonder if it was originally set up so they could run a boiler-room operation out of the hotel ballroom?

The Washington State Auditor posted a report today that alleges financial mismanagement by Seattle Public Schools was much worse than the district first let on. Last year, the auditor confirmed that the district paid $1.5 million for questionable services and another $280,000 for services it never received as part of its Regional Small Business Development Program, creating the "Pottergate scandal" that resulted both in the superintendent's termination and criminal charges against district employee Silas Potter.
But that was just the half of it.
This most recent audit report, which examines a second program that was also managed by Potter from 2005 to 2009, finds that in addition to the previous $1.8 million, "Seattle School District incurred unnecessary costs of approximately $1.3 million due to a lack of adequate internal controls and supporting documentation."The new questionable spending results from 14 vendors who received money through the school district's Small Works Program. Some examples: In one instance, the district paid $36,500 for a security system that staff estimated should only cost $5,500, which the audits describes as a "markup of 660 percent." In another case, the district paid $95,882 for demolition work at South Shore School, but when audit staff tried to interview the business proprietor about a vague invoice, the vendor refused to talk. In other cases, one vendor charged the district a 1,000 percent markup on cables, another vendor never installed cameras that were paid for, and yet another charged for cleaning at rates inflated high above market rates. "This is very serious," says Mindy Chambers, a spokeswoman for the state auditor's office, adding, "It points to some significant weaknesses in the systems the district has or had in place to ensure accountability over public resources."
So now that the superintendent is gone and Potter has been charged, who's to blame?
The School Board is trying hard to spin this story by saying appropriate safeguards are now in place to prevent a recurrence (including appointing an internal auditor and partnering with the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission). That's appreciated, but the school board should have—and could have—caught this years ago. And no one should be taking more responsibility than school board president Michael DeBell.
Why DeBell? He was overseeing district spending during critical years: DeBell was chair of the district's Audit & Finance Committee in 2006-'07, he served on the board's Operations Committee from '06-'08, and he was the board's appointee to the Building Excellence (BEX) committee that examines capital investments. All three made him uniquely positioned to spot a $3 million leak from capital investments. In 2009, the board got red flags from the "Sutor Report," which warned about problems with accountability in the small-works contracting program. It appears that DeBell was asleep at the wheel.
And while some folks—namely the Seattle Times editorial board—tend to depict a new cast of reformers elected to the school board as a bunch of children who now have a majority, the reformers aren't the problem. The biggest scandals at Seattle Public Schools happened five to seven years ago, when the supposed adults were in charge. And none of those adults should be held more accountable than DeBell.

Vets find ways to de-stress using yoga, meditation
Lindsay Wise, Houston Chronicle: Army veteran Weldon Holder stood barefoot on a yoga mat and extended his arms straight in front of him, fingers interlaced and palms pushed away from his chest.
"Drink the breath and let the awareness reside in the body," urged his instructor, Pam Johnson. "Long and smooth. Stay with the breath."
The pair slowly raised their arms above their heads, then back to their sides.
"Stay, stay in this place, be present," Johnson said. "Let it happen. … Exhale."
Holder, a burly 37-year-old former Cavalry scout from Houston, started practicing yoga in September at the suggestion of his wife …

Inside the Pentagon's alt-medicine Mecca, where the generals meditate
The general is surprisingly good at meditation. It's not just the impeccable posture — that might be expected of a man long used to standing at attention. It's his hands, which rest idly on his knees, and his combat boots, which remain planted firmly on the floor. Over the next several minutes, Lt. Gen. Eric Schoomaker, the Surgeon General of the Army, will keep his eyes closed and his face perfectly relaxed.

Early evidence shows meditation helping veterans with PTSD
The flashbacks and nightmares came often for Robert Singh.
U.S. Army veteran Singh served three tours in Iraq, from 2004 through 2010. He was an Army medic for most of that time. It was a violent, dangerous and intense job. Singh was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder in 2007.
After he left the military in 2010, it became obvious that the drugs Singh was prescribed for PTSD weren't helping.
So when Singh learned of VetMind, a novel study being conducted at Oregon Health & Science University to understand how mindfulness meditation helps veterans' PTSD symptoms, he enrolled.
And he's happy he did.
The meditation exercises Singh learned in the study and continues to …

Veterans learn about meditation for treating post traumatic stress
Matt Hoffman: Studies show up to 35 percent of our veterans return home with post traumatic stress disorder. But an old world technique is being used in a new way to help veterans, and some say it's having great success.
Veterans in Eau Claire heard from Jerry Yellin. He fought in World War Two as a fighter pilot, but when he returned home he couldn't escape the horrors of war he experienced.
"I saw the remnants of 28,000 bodies on 8 square miles of land. 90, 000 soldiers were fighting. 28,000 were killed, and I flew with 16 guys that didn't come back," recalls Jerry.

Stress for Success: Meditation helps balance the PTSD brain
Jacquelyn Ferguson: After experiencing horrific events where physical harm either occurred or was threatened such as violent assaults, natural disasters, health emergencies or military combat, some people develop post-traumatic stress disorder.
Managing such trauma is significantly easier for those who experienced only mild early childhood threats that were followed by physical activity to burn off stress hormones and by periods of calm and security, and received supportive parenting (more on this at stressforsuccess.blogspot.com.)
For some soldiers, this means their vulnerability to war trauma actually began in childhood. The more childhood upheaval, the more…

Veterans find peace with yoga in 'Connected Warriors'
Boca Raton Some local veterans' combat days are long gone, but they still have nightmares, edginess, short fuses and other symptoms of post-traumatic stress.
Many seek help from support groups, psychologists and drugs. But some are finding that a different kind of therapy releases the tension: yoga.
Connected Warriors, a weekly class at studios in Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale and Wellington, is filled with veterans and their families who seek to manage their stress through yoga poses. They learn how to breathe, meditate, stretch and balance with people who understand their battlefield encounters.

Easter Traditions
The National Confectioners Association offers the following bits of information about Easter traditions:
Chocolate eggs were first made in Europe in the early 19th Century and remain among the most popular treats associated with Easter.

In the United States:
- Seventy-six percent of people eat the ears on chocolate bunnies first.
- Ninety million chocolate Easter bunnies are made for Easter each year.
- Sixteen billion jelly beans are made for Easter.
- Each day, 5 million marshmallow chicks and bunnies are produced in preparation for Easter.
- Easter is the second top-selling confectionery holiday, with Halloween in first place.
- Eighty-eight percent of adults carry on the Easter tradition of making Easter baskets for their kids.
- Red jelly beans are kids' favorite.

Anger as Twin Sails bridge closed overnight
9:08am Wednesday 17th October 2012 in Latest
THE TWIN Sails Bridge was closed to marine traffic last night after Borough of Poole decided on some last-minute work.
Boat owners were angry after they had only a day's notice that there would be no 9.30pm and 11.45pm lifts last night.
Brian Smith, who keeps his boat at Cobbs Quay said: "They should be giving us proper notice if the bridge is going to be shut. It's very hard to contact everyone and let them know. People travel down and then find they can't get through the bridge."
However John Rice, engineering and maintenance manager, Borough of Poole said: "As we are not closing the channel to marine traffic there is no statutory notice period required in advance of these essential maintenance works.
"Initially we had intended to start these works following the 23.45 lift. However, the contractor, Hochtief (UK) requested more time to carry out the work as they wanted to ensure that no disruption was caused to the 5.30am lift, which is popular with fishermen.
"Since the winter schedule came into force at the beginning of October, neither the 21.30 or the 23.45 lift has been required so we hope that disruption to marine traffic will be minimal.
"We apologise for any disruption caused while work is carried out and thank mariners for their patience and understanding."

Just a suggestion, but why not save everyone's time by simply telling us when the bridge ACTUALLY IS WORKING?
You could probably get a headline out of it.

The Echo is quite right to inform us when the thing breaks down, which it seems to do with far too great a frequency. A more traditional design like the old bridge would perhaps have allowed a single span to open for the boats, a proper non lifting bridge wouldn't have broken down at all.

Far more apt, seeing as it doesn't even look like the "sails" depicted in all the artist impressions.

So one assumes he had no intention of going through the bridge at that time of night.

MS should not announce new OS's more than a week before release, that way people can at least excuse them by saying 'well it's a bit lousy, but what can you expect from something made in a week or so'. Because although all the claims about vista's developing time are clearly nonsensical they did have more than a year to turn out that lemon, and more than a year to decide to NOT release it, or ask no more than $30 for 'ultimate' at least to be honest and realistic and decent about it, so letting us know that they had all that time is only embarrassing for them.
Lol dont count on Windows 7 being better than vista as this is ms were talking about here. Good to see another Windows os thread turning into a Vista bashing theme *boring*.
Okay people, lets try to stick to topic a bit more . Maybe rather than posting why people hate Vista so much, lets post things we would like to see in Windows 7, changes, features, etc... I for one would like to see better scope for changing themes, officially. vista only really has one theme. I would like to be able to have different themes, like different skins, that doesnt involve hacking and doesnt involve buying third part software. Then you could have stuff like, free Windows 7 theme when you pre-order, and you get a Halo 4 skin, but its official like you could get in XP. There was the royale theme, zune theme, silver, green, blue. not many for XP, but they could scope it out better for Windows 7.
It would be to bloated if it comes with too many themes. 98 used to have it's set of theme's. MS relies on its user base to come up with themes. You just need to run Ux patcher(free) to be able to install these themes. Even linux doesn't come with many themes by default.
I doesnt have to come with themes, but it would be good if the new windows seven had an integrated version of window blinds or something. Skin support, but officially. not hacked or 3rd party.
As long as it's free it doesn't matter if it's 3rd party. Let the software developers first concentrate on developing the OS better. I'm sure they MS doesn't want to pay it's employee's just for developing themes. Not many people actually change their theme's.
is it out of the question for microsoft to build an entire new OS from the ground up? i guess that would probably kill their business because thousands of companies that make software for windows would have to spend money and time learning a whole new system. and if that were to happen then why wouldnt those companies put their time and effort into linux.
I think it's possible to build it from ground up and still keep compatibility with older versions it's the time MS needs to invest in it the problem, after all they make money from the sale's of their OS and the few hardware they sell.

We love this little filly and are very curious how she will mature!

The parents will continue to try and "cheat" the zoning as long as the CCPS system continues to "cheat" their children.
It's shameful that for more than a decade now – CCPS has been run through corruption, intimidation, self-serving administration, and nepotism. Some families get whatever they want (the Mc'Sheas) some are left "dangling" ( the Sofos) – It's not WHAT you know in Collier schools – it's WHO you know.
Parents and children are all taking their lead from CCPS. The tone is cheat or be cheated. When administrators cheat to get their jobs, their friends lucrative consulting contracts, their kids in their chosen school, their kids out of alternative programs, etc., etc., etc…the parents feel as if they have to at least TRY and get something for their kids. Can you really blame them?
The shenanigans in CCPS are legendary. The have been spotlighted now in numerous books, articles and professional journals – and not in a good light! From molester School Board Chairs to Kick a "you fill in the blank" day…it just never ends.
We have double the budget of comparable sized districts in Florida – yet we can't do better???

Thrill Jockey's High Places come to the UK from LA in support of thier latest record 'Original Colours'. With their latest single 'Senora' featuring a rather disturbing video the band have really taken a different direction both musically and visual from their previous works.
We are also incredibly pleased to announce the second Manchester show for Savages. Having only played a handful of shows in London and having no music available on line this band are really making waves in the scene.
Just announced to the line up is the wonderful Die Hexen. Creating a sound that fits somewhere in the middle of Zola Jesus and Planningtorock, this promises to be an incredibly visual experience for all!

No shortage of talent
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- In the fourth of the off-season fantasy reviews our post-season analysis of the 2011 fantasy baseball season moves to the shortstop position.
From 2007-2010 the shortstop position was centered around Hanley Ramirez (ADP 2), but in 2011 he was the biggest of fantasy busts. Following four consecutive years of batting over .300 and hitting 20+ homers, Ramirez's bat was nowhere to be found this spring. He batted .200 in April, .219 in May and .260 in June. Just when he started to find his hitting stroke, he injured his left shoulder and on August 2nd played his final game of 2011. His absence left a opportunity for others to shine...and many did just that.
Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado (ADP 3)
- Historically a slow starter, "Tulo" confounded the experts with a huge April. A small slump in May was just a tiny blip on the radar screen as Tulowitzki made his second consecutive All- Star team. A hip injury in September ended his season two weeks early, but he still batted .302 with 30 HR, a career-high 105 RBI and an OPS of 0.916.The only disappointment from the Rockies star shortstop was a sinking stolen base total - to single digits (9) from a high of 20 in 2009.
Asdrubal Cabrera, Cleveland (ADP 187)
- Rebounding from an injury-filled 2010, Cabrera ascended into an elite fantasy shortstop this season. The Indians' star set career marks in at-bats (604), runs (87), hits (165), HR (25) and RBI (92). He tied his career high for stolen bases with 17. If Cleveland could surround him with just a little more offense (ninth in AL at 4.35 runs-per- game) his appearance in the top-five could be an annual occurrence.
Jose Reyes, New York Mets (ADP 24)
- When healthy, Reyes is a dynamic talent. In 2011 he was on the field for much of the season, though he did have one stint on the DL for a left hamstring injury. Playing 126 games he led the league in batting average (.337) and triples (16). He was on pace for 60+ stolen bases until the leg injury, but still posted 39 steals. Given his free agent status for 2012, his fantasy value could rise in a better hitting lineup and/or a more hitter-friendly ballpark.
Starlin Castro, Chicago Cubs (ADP 147)
- In just his second season in the majors, Castro has become a star both in the real world and the fantasy one. He improved in every offensive statistical category from his rookie year, including leading the National League in at-bats (674) and hits (207). At just 21-years-old he should be a fixture in the top-five shortstop for the next decade.
Jimmy Rollins, Philadelphia (ADP 37)
- Rollins will never be the dynamic player he was in 2006 and 2007, but he still has something to offer as a fantasy shortstop. In 2010 he rebounded with a solid season contributing 87 runs, 16 HR, 63 RBI, 30 steals and an OPS of 0.736. He's more of a low-end fantasy starter at this point, particularly if he leaves the Phillies to head back to his hometown in northern California.
Jhonny Peralta, Detroit (ADP 268)
- Peralta had his best season since 2008 in Cleveland, batting a career-high .299 with 21 HR and 86 RBI. After a torrid May, June and July, he was starting for many fantasy owners, but faltered in the final two months and will likely be looked upon as a spot starter in 2012. With just nine stolen bases in nine big league seasons, he'll never help you in the speed categories. Still, as a late-round selection or a free agent claim, he was a nice bargain.
J.J. Hardy, Baltimore (ADP 260)
- After two ugly seasons, Hardy reclaimed the power that made him a low-end fantasy starter in previous seasons. He batted .269 with 76 runs, 30 HR and 80 RBI, the latter two being career highs. He is very similar to Peralta in fantasy value, showing power at a traditional non- power position, but lacking the speed to be a top-five candidate.
Erick Aybar, Anaheim (ADP 249)
- Playing on the west coast when most of the east coast fantasy owners are sound asleep, he doesn't get the notice of other shortstops. Starting Aybar not only won't hurt you, but he's a contributor in all the categories with double-digit homers and 30 steals.
Elvis Andrus, Texas (ADP 96)
- Helping you with his speed is Andrus' specialty and in 2010 he stole 37 bases and scored 96 runs while batting a respectable .279. He's got limited power, so he'll likely never be a top-five fantasy shortstop.
Derek Jeter, New York Yankees (ADP 40)
- After a horrible beginning to his season, Jeter rebounded to become a force at shortstop over the final three months. The future Hall-of-Famer batted .327 after the All-Star break with 42 runs, 37 RBI and an OPS of 0.811. He's not the guy he was a few years ago, but as long as he's at the top of the Yankees lineup he'll be a viable fantasy starter.

A year after failing to earn a place at the Olympics, GB's women finished fourth in the 4x100 metres relay at the World Championships.
The young quartet of Dina Asher Smith, Ashleigh Nelson, Annabelle Lewis and Hayley Jones were edged out of the medals by 0.12 seconds by the United States.
Jones took the baton for the final leg in second place, but was run down as she brought the team home in 42.87secs, slower than their semi-final time.
Jamaica took the gold in a championship record of 41.29s.

CHANDIGARH: Political parties here have let loose a vicious round of complaints and counter-complaints against each other in the run-up to the May 10 Lok Sabha polls. Flinging accusations of violation of model code of conduct on the slightest pretext, even seasoned politicians do not want to let the opportunity of scoring a political point pass by.
The Congress first accused the BJP of power theft during LK Advani's rally here. More complaints were lodged with UT returning officer Arun Kumar pertaining to violation of the model code by the BJP in the form of flying party flags on electricity poles across the city and doling out free stepney covers to voters bearing the pictures of AB Vajpayee and Satya Pal Jain.

By Austin Trunick on February 10th, 2012 in
This EP yanks apart Zombi's two major creative forces and lets each member explore his own on little miniature planets of sound. Brainstorm is divided into two sides, the first being made up of four tracks by keyboardist Steve Moore. These should be enough to satisfy fans of the bigger band; they're largely the same '80s genre film soundtrack-recalling instrumentals, full of piercing and arpeggiated synths (i.e. perfect music to get chased by Jason Vorhees to). The fast-paced "Enhanced Humanoid" is the most compelling of his contributions.
Listeners should stay, however, for drummer Majeure's half, which is dedicated to one 20-minute soundscape, menacingly titled "Atlantis Purge". The piece weaves through genres ranging from ambient drone to a prog-ish, Tangerine Dream-esque synthesizer suite in its latter minutes. It's all about building atmosphere here, and if you let yourself just sink in, it'll make for a heady, extended trip.
Listening to the EP digitally, the transition from Moore's half to Majeure's is a bit rough, but given that the physical release is vinyl-only, it's probably intended to be listened to in two parts.
If you're a Zombi fan, don't let the premise deter you: Brainstorm is more or less a Zombi release, spiritually and aurally, and a necessary grab if you dig their regular crazed synthwork and retro horror soundtrack vibe. Newcomers, however, are better geared toward Spirit Animal or last year's Escape Velocity.
Essential Songs: "Enhanced Humanoid", "Atlantis Purge"

Anything I can help with? Writing character quotes or side quests? Anything?
…ah, this is what i get for getting distracted by other forums. How are things going? Am i still in the game?
So, I've been pre-occupied with other forums and the school had KYM blocked, but summer's almost here. What did i miss? Has the KYM RPG progressed? What's happening?
Hey you guys… i've been thinking about ditching the interactive format and just writing the story of fanfiction.net. The FF.net version will be a bit longer, expanding on the parts where i got lazy with my writing.
Isaac left the Velvet Room with Yu. "Alright, now we need to get your Courage, Knowledge, and Charm up." said Yu. "Uh….what?" "You need to improve yourself to initiate some Social Links." explained Yu. "OK, how do I do that?" "Well, obviously you can improve your Knowledge by studying, but I'm not quite sure about the other two….I'll think of something, don't worry."
(it's a griddle, i think.)
Isaac put the three cards with Gilgamesh, Ramses, and Nekomata on the table. Igor waved his hand, with a flash of light, a new Persona appeared: Isaac paid Margaret to pull Ramses and Gilgamesh out of the Compendium, and left.
The Velvet Room Isaac registered Gilgamesh, Nekomata, and Ramses. "OK, let's see….by fusing Gilgamesh and Ramses, I'll get…..Ghoul, of the Death Arcana. If I fuse Ramses and Nekomata, I get Sandman of the Strength Arcana. Fusing Nekomata and Gilgamesh will give me Apsaras….fusing Nekomata, Ramses, and Gilgamesh will give me Ukobach of the Devil Arcana. Ukobach can cast Agi, Pulinpa, and Sukunda. Apsaras can use Patra and Dia, Sandman can use Garu, Dormina, and Pulinpa, while Ghoul can use Bash and...
After School The Sports Shack "Hey, Koji!" shouted Miyoko, waking up the sleeping 20-something clerk at the counter. "Oh. Hey, Miyoko. Need supplies for the team?" "Do you still have those surplus weapons?" asked Miyoko. The clerk named Koji nodded excitedly. "Thank God- I thought nobody was ever gonna buy them." Isaac lifted an eyebrow. A sporting goods store that sold weaponry? Japan was starting to get really weird… "This place used to be a survival goods and self-defense depot before the owner went...
My school has blocked KYM. thank god i have today off.
@404: In case of a tie, I'll either break the tie or just go by the last vote. "Why are you asking me?" asked Isaac. "Dude, you're the leader." said Ichiro. Rika nodded. "You can change Personas, Isaac." Isaac gulped nervously. "Man…I'm not the leader type." Rika giggled. "What, did you expect Ichiro to lead us?" "H-hey! I could totally lead if I wanted to!" objected Ichiro. "Yeah, right." laughed Rika. Miyoko approached the group. "Hey, are we gonna go into the Otherworld?" asked Miyoko. "I wanna fight...
And on the KYM RPG
I'm in Michigan, and there isn't even a half an inch of snow on the ground!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!?!?
Isaac suddenly caught on to what Ichiro was saying. A blissful smile crossed his face. "I fuckin' love the Japanese school system…." Ichiro and Isaac fistbumped. The dismissal bell was just about to ring when Rika approached the two. "Have you found anyone who looked like they were being controlled by their Shadows?" Isaac shook his head. Rika shrugged. "Neither me or Miyoko have had any luck." "Isn't that a good thing?" asked Ichiro. "That means we can take a break from going to the Otherside. Right,...
(A/N: In hindsight, maybe i should've made the options more varied….let's just say the choice was 1….) Ichiro grinned. "On Measuring Day, the students get a physical examination…no low private parts, mind you, but…the girls still get checked….." 1."Seriously?" 2."What's so great about that?" 3."I think I know what you mean…." 4."…….I fucking love the Japanese school system."
Isaac got no sleep that night. 4/13 Saturday "Man, I can't I have to go to school on ''Saturdays''. I'm starting to dislike the Japanese school system…" mumbled Isaac, desperately trying to stay awake. Ichiro chuckled. "Just wait 'til Measuring Day rolls around…" 1. Measuring Day? 2. I'm sorry, I don't think I understand.
Yes. Please.
"Well, that's easier said than done…" sighed Kurosawa. "My workplace isn't exactly the most friendly environment. People scramble around desperate to get promoted, to get paid more, to be respected more….it's brutal." The voices from the first hangout with Ichiro rang out again:I am thou, and thou art I. Thou hast established a bond with Junichi Kurosawa and tapped into the power of the Emperor Arcana. Thou hast awakened the Persona Ramses! "Hey, I got you something." said Kurosawa. He pulled a shopping...
(@404 Sorry, but no, i might lose some important plot points in said summary) "So, how are you doing at school?" asked Mr. Kurosawa "Pretty good." answered Isaac. "Made a couple new friends." "Oh, good!" said Kurosawa. There was an awkard silence. "To be honest….I'm not really good at talking to teenagers." admitted Kurosawa. "With Hatsumi so busy with college, there hasn't really been many people to talk to." 1. "I understand." 2."That's too bad." 3."Why not make friends at work?"

American Spirit Pageants is a wonderful system that allows young women an opportunity to showcase themselves, network with other people and give back to their community all at the same time. This year we are hoping to have as many state pageants as possible. However, we are accepting �At large� Delegate applications for each state until a state director has been selected and a state pageant scheduled. To determine if a state pageant has been scheduled for your state visit http://www.americanspiritpageants.com/state-links/ and click on your state. If there is a state pageant scheduled it will be posted there and you will need to compete in the state pageant and win in order to compete at our national pageant. If there is no state pageant yet scheduled you may apply for an �At large� berth by going to http://www.americanspiritpageants.com/delegate-application/ and filling out the application.
There are four divisions in each state (Teen Miss, Miss, Ms. and Mrs.) which will compete at the national pageant.
The national American Spirit Pageant will be held April 4-7, 2012 at Disney�s Coronado Springs resort. All state delegates (state pageant winners and �At Large� selectees) will participate in a number of events and photo opportunities. ASP Queens shall be expected to make appearances on behalf of their state for their full reign. ASP is the only national pageant system that incorporates fundraising into the competition.
Please feel free to apply online right away at americanspiritpageants.com or call National Director, Dennis VanDerGinst, at 888-801-8855 for more information.

Here's a few more hot offers for Crocs this weekend! Crocs is offering 25% off site wide with code 25FAMILY until 9/23, plus you can use code SHIPFOR2 to score Free Shipping on orders over $25.
I just like the basic Crocs....this is what the deal looks like $31.99 each (drops to $23.99), plus free shipping. The best thing is, it appears that you have a better selection of styles and sizes.
I ordered my sons few days ago as he mentions that he loves wearing his Crocs because you can slip on and they are so comfy. He doesn't do flip flops, plus it's hard for Gym.
