The 30-minute video released last week by the San Diego-based group Invisible Children calling for action against Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony provided striking evidence that young adults and their elders at times have different news agendas and learn about news in different ways. Those ages 18-29 were much more likely than older adults to have heard a lot about the "Kony 2012" video and to have learned about it through social media than traditional news sources. Indeed, a special analysis of posts in Twitter showed that it was by far the top story on the platform.
Moreover, younger adults were also more than twice as likely as older adults to have watched the video itself on YouTube or Vimeo. As of March 13, the video had been viewed more than 76 million times on YouTube and 16 million times on Vimeo, making it one of the most viewed videos of all time on those sites.
Special polling and social media content analysis by the Pew Research Center tracks how the "Kony 2012" video and information about it reached so many Americans in a relatively short period of time, and the critical role social media played, especially for adults under age 30.
The survey analysis in this report is based on telephone interviews conducted March 9-11, 2012, among a national sample of 814 adults 18 years of age or older living in the continental United States (487 respondents were interviewed on a landline telephone, and 327 were interviewed on a cell phone, including 150 who had no landline telephone). The survey was conducted under the direction of Princeton Survey Research Associates International. A combination of landline and cell phone random digit dial samples were used; both samples were provided by Survey Sampling International. Interviews were conducted in English. Respondents in the landline sample were selected by randomly asking for the youngest adult male or female who is now at home. Interviews in the cell sample were conducted with the person who answered the phone, if that person was an adult 18 years of age or older. For detailed information about our survey methodology, see: http://people-press.org/methodology/.
The margin of error attributable to sampling that would be expected at the 95% level of confidence is 4.0 percentage points. In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.
The analysis of the tone of conversation on Twitter utilizes coding procedures created by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism along with computer technology from the media monitoring firm Crimson Hexagon. This analysis is based on an examination of more than 5.4 million tweets related to the Kony 2012 movement.

Rated 3.2 out of 5 by 557
Rated 2 out of 5 by Luv2SkiPA Difficult Evening
We were disappointed with our stay at this establishment. After check in we realized that we would need another set of bed linen for the sofa bed. When we opened it up we found trash inside of it. We tried to call guest services numerous times without any success as to anyone answering the phone. We had to go to reception in order for our request to be completed and then it wasn't even right. We then decided to go to the hotel bar for drinks and our waitress was rude and slow in her service. During check out we tried to explain our frustrations, but we were told that they did their best. Overall not happy with our stay, but would love to visit the area again.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Unhappycamper16 This Hotel needs work
Dirty!!!!! Upon arrival one of the bedspreads were sunk in as if someone sat on it. There was hair and black specks on it. We asked for a new one and it took 2 more routes of contacts to receive it after going through Concierges. We went to use the table to eat at and it was disgustingly dirty. We had to clean it. The phone did not work to contact any staff; I had to use my personal phone to call the hotel and state that I was staying there and needed to contact someone in the hotel (front desk). Went to take a shower and there was a small USED bar of soap in my shower-GROSS!!!. There was a candy bar and a pen on the closet shelf. GROSS. There was a hair dryer, unfixed from the wall. Did not use because we did not know if it was left. It was DIRTY. We put it on the closet shelf. The Bedspread finally came and some man brought it, he handed it to us in a BALL. Really. We took the old one and put it in the closet out of our way so we would not trip and put the new one on. The man never took the dirty one. No Luggage stand. No breakfast included. Had to pay for internet. We would have been better off staying at some cheaper hotel and finding parking in Phili for the parade. Disgusted!!!!!!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by RunMary Philly Marathon
I booked 4 rooms 8 months before race. When we arrived the lobby was packed with people and luggage. The check in line was long and we heard numerous people complaining. When we tried to check-in we were told our rooms were not ready and they could not tell us when they would be ready. They had suggested they could move some of us to a different Sheraton by bus. We had a friend that was able to get a room, so we all left our things in her room and went out. We received a call about 5:45pm that are rooms were now ready.
My four rooms were on different floors of the hotel, 4th, 7th, 14th and 20th. The hotel had a "young" convention booked. The hotel was extremely noisy. I needed to go into the hallway twice after 11pm to ask for quiet. Not a pleasant stay

Rated 3 out of 5 by SS1234 You cannot send guests to a different building.
It was upsetting when they sent my friend and his family to a different building. How can they do that when he arrived with a small kid and an infant passed their bedtime. My friend had called the hotel and informed he'd be arriving a bit late in order to secure a room too. They didn't even give him discount. I stayed there with a bunch of people and this upset everyone.
Our room was comfortable but the drain in the shower room wasn't quite working.
Eric who was working at concierge was great to us. Thanks to him, we were able to get late check-out, which we really needed. He deserves bonus!

Rated 3 out of 5 by AJinDC Not my first choice of hotel in Philly
The service experience was mixed. The restaurant staff was great but the bar/lounge staff was about as bad as I have experienced anywhere. Service was slow and I had the fun experience of watching people who entered 20 minutes after me get served first (but the bar manager explained they were VIP so I guess that's ok?). Room service staff was friendly but got my order wrong (I'm allergic to mushrooms so it was kind of a big deal). The carpet looks pretty stained in many locations in my room and hallways. The hotel smelled like cigarette smoke in several public areas. I think my bathroom shared an exhaust with the kitchen because it always smelled like fried food. There was no minibar in my room, the cups were all plastic, and there is no midday room service. I was asked in advance if I wanted to upgrade to a club floor room and I agreed. I was put in a king room on the 5th floor (instead of 15 floors higher where I was originally booked) with no club access. The woman at the front desk gave me club access on my key cards after I asked, but it's a little less convenient when you're 18 floors off. Overall the hotel was average and I wish I had booked somewhere else. There was no acknowledgement that I was a Starwood member and I was not placed on a Starwood guest floor. The green programs and features were also not explained to me upon check in so it took me a while to figure out.

Mid-Autumn Lantern Display "Home Sweet Home"
The Mid-Autumn Festival turns Hong Kong into an enchanting world of fiery dragons, ancient lanterns and modern light shows! During this ancient Chinese festival, Asia's world city pays homage to its roots, a bygone era when farmers thanked the moon god for bountiful harvests. In true Hong Kong spirit, age-old tradition and innovation rub shoulders for a fun family week.
In 2013, visitors revelled in the glow of the 'Rising Moon', a giant eco-lantern structure. They came face to face with a fiery ancient ritual on the streets of Tai Hang and partied the week away in this modern metropolis with a host of street carnivals.
We hope you enjoyed the week-long moon festivities (and didn't overdo it on the moon cakes). If you missed it this time, no worries - it will be just as good in 2014. In the meantime, there is always something going on in Hong Kong. And anyway, just being here is enough of a reason to celebrate!
Supported by | ||
In 2013, the ancient passion of the Mid-Autumn Festival received a thoroughly modern Hong Kong makeover for the one2free Lantern Wonderland.
The award-winning centrepiece, Rising Moon, was a spherical playground of light and sound. Ten metres in height, the one-of-a-kind structure had a surface constructed from 7,000 recycled water bottles, with LED bulbs to mimic individual Chinese paper lanterns. The dome used different light effects to imitate the lunar phases.
Rising Moon was the result of a design competition organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board and supported by the Hong Kong Ambassadors of Design, the Hong Kong Designers Association and The Hong Kong Institute of Architects.
You can expect Asia's world city to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2014 with a similar blending of tradition and innovation. In the meantime, check out photos of Rising Moon.

When the people of Tai Hang village miraculously stopped a plague with a fire dragon dance in the 19th century, they inadvertently launched a tradition that has since become part of China's official intangible cultural heritage.
Tai Hang may no longer be a village, but its locals still recreate the fiery ancient ritual to this day, with a whopping 300 performers, 72,000 incense sticks and a 67-metre dragon. The head of this beast alone weighs 48kg, so it's not a creature to be taken lightly! The commemorative performance wends its way in fire, smoke and festive fury through the backstreets of Tai Hang over three moon-fuelled days.
Traditional, timeless yet vibrant - this is Hong Kong like you always dreamed it would be.
Hong Kong may flaunt its modernity, but it keeps its traditions very close to its heart. And there's no better time to see these in action than during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when lanterns reprise their age-old roles and neighbourhoods come together for fire dragon dances, magical lantern exhibitions and carnivals. The grandest of all of these is held Victoria Park on Hong Kong Island each year.
"May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together, even if we are hundreds of miles apart," says the romantic Chinese poem. These ancient sentiments are still embodied in the way Chinese people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival: together, and preferably under the glow of a full moon.
The Chinese have been celebrating this festival since at least the early Tang dynasty (618 – 907). In the past, people would make offerings of alcohol, fruit and other foods to the heavens, to express gratitude for a bumper harvest. The festival is now associated more with lanterns and the eating of moon cakes. Despite the rustic origins of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the highly-urbanised Hong Kong still celebrates this holiday. In fact, the city celebrates it in style and with its characteristic penchant for fusing tradition with innovation.
Today, to be in Hong Kong during Mid-Autumn is to enjoy a metropolitan manifestation of an ancient harvest festival, complete with fiery dragons, shining lanterns and nouveau festival foods. All across the city, people will be gathering for family meals and enjoying lantern displays and a festival atmosphere in the light of the full moon.
Click on the things to see and do above for a guide to experiencing the charm of this vibrant festival during your stay in Hong Kong.
If you are in Hong Kong during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be impossible not to notice moon cakes. They are believed to have originated from Yuan dynasty (1271-1368) revolutionaries, who are said to have used the pastries to pass secret messages between each other.
Traditionally, moon cakes are infused with embedded egg yolks and lotus seed – not exactly a light snack. But this is Hong Kong where nothing is spared a modern makeover. The city serves up an exciting jumble of creative moon cakes in a variety of flavours during the Mid-Autumn Festival (there are even low-sugar options), taking your taste buds on a dizzying tour of snowskin, iced, ice cream, mung bean paste, cheese, chocolate, foie gras, sesame tofu, sweet potato, silky smooth milk tea, black truffle, mango, strawberry and caviar. Enjoy the ride!
You might even notice moon cakes that are shaped to look like they are "mooning" you. The date of Mid-Autumn Festival is often used as a euphemism for "rear end" by Cantonese speakers, providing the inspiration for these, ahem, cheeky versions.
Snowy moon cakes
By the 1980s, there was a growing trend of healthy eating in Hong Kong and people began to seek alternatives to the traditional rich and sweet moon cakes that have been enjoyed by Chinese people for centuries. This is when a recipe for a whole new style of moon cakes emerged in the city – a lighter glutinous rice version of the pastry, called 'snow skin'. The innovation proved a hit far beyond Hong Kong and has ensured that moon cakes continue to be enjoyed as the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival treat in a world of increasingly sophisticated tastes.

A Chairde, we are delighted to be celebrating the 16th World Book Day in Ireland on Thursday 6th March 2014. Over the last 16 years World Book Day has become firmly established as Ireland's biggest annual event promoting the enjoyment of books and reading. The main aim is to encourage children to explore the pleasure of books and reading by providing them with an opportunity to have a book of their own. This may sound like a very simple idea, but unfortunately, many children do not have access to books in their homes.
Download the 2013 World Book Day Pack here.
Don't forget that you can now also follow us on Facebook and Twitter. We will have lots of great competitions and giveaways as well as news, info and reading resources.
As always, happy reading.

VIOLENT ENCOUNTER could explain the traces of cosmic gas associated with a massive die-off 250 million years ago.
Image: RON MILLER
Mention "asteroid" or "comet," and the fire-and-brimstone fantasy of an earth-shattering collision will pop into many people's minds. Two thirds of the planet's species, including the dinosaurs, died in the aftermath of one such impact 65 million years ago. But that was a minor tragedy compared with the catastrophic extinction that swept the globe 185 million years earlier. At that time, 95 percent of life in the oceans vanished forever¿and surprising new evidence points to a similar cosmic killer.
Researchers long assumed that gradual changes in climate or sea level prolonged that mass death, which marks the boundary between the Permian and Triassic periods, over half a million years or more. But last year paleontologists who examined marine fossils from Austria and China reported that the doomed Permian creatures disappeared in 8,000 years or less¿a sudden death in geologic terms. No compelling culprit turned up until early March, when the news of possible extraterrestrial involvement appeared in Science. Luann Becker of the University of Washington, Robert J. Poreda of the University of Rochester and their colleagues extracted strange traces of helium and argon from rocks at the site in China and at a third locale in Japan. Helium and argon, both noble gases, exist naturally inside the earth and its atmosphere, but the isotopic signatures of the gases in these particular rocks require a cosmic origin.

Susan Coker and Cindy Ivester said they both felt a calling to do something after the death of 16-year-old Andrew Messina, who was killed by a single bullet wound from a sniper after an hourlong standoff with police at his Eagle Watch home.
"Justice for Andrew Messina" started as a Facebook page and has grown to more than 130 followers in the six weeks since the teen's death.
Coker, an Alpharetta resident, said she did not know the Messinas before Andrew's death, but has a 20-year-old son who had a "tough time" as a teenager and felt she could relate.
"When I heard about this incident, it took my breath away because it could have been me, it could have been my son," Coker said.
Within two days after Andrew was killed, Coker started "Andrew's Justice" Facebook page.
"I was just very compelled to continue to find out what I could about this," Coker said.
She said she started the current group page in May, "Justice for Andrew Messina," and connected with Ivester through that page.
In a news release Wednesday, the group said the killing has left many unanswered questions.
"The goal of Justice For Andrew is to advocate for a change in the way SWAT Teams and negotiators deal with minor children (under the age of 18) when in a crisis situation," the release stated.
A group of about 30 concerned citizens meet at 7 p.m. every Friday at the home of an Eagle Watch resident to discuss its goals and strategy, the release said, with fundraising, letter-writing to government policy makers and raising awareness about the focus of its efforts.
"We have got to do research ourselves to see what the current policy and procedures are," Coker said, adding the goal is to have "Andrew's Peace Policy" become law.
The group has also been active in several local political initiatives, but isn't looking to polarize the county, Coker said.
"We want to make a positive change," Coker said. "We don't want anything negative to come out of this."
Ultimately, Justice For Andrew is seeking a change in state legislature regarding SWAT team training and procedure when involving children under 18 in crisis, the release said.
The group welcomes more involvement.
Those wishing to take part can visit its Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/JusticeForAndrewMessina.

LittleBigPlanet's showing no real sign of slowing down in terms of people actually using it to make stuff. Lead architect Paul Holden's told GI that user-generated levels now top 1.3 million, up from an announced 1 million this summer.
"The figures are obviously changing daily," said Holden, speaking at the Montreal Games Summit.
"The last figures I saw were there is over 1.3 million levels."
Someone should tell Sony boss Kaz Hirai – he said at TGS that the game now contained more than 2 million user-created levels.

Memories 2006, Share your train memories of 2006 |
Memories 2006, Share your train memories of 2006 |

Board Leader Group: Sr. Admin Posts: 46,231 Joined: 26-June 03 From: Howell, NJ Member No.: 2 |
It's that time of year when we look back on the year just past and recount our memories of train trips and events involving trains that took place during the year.
Our OTOL railfan group met five times this year, a new record. We had the Big Apple RailFest 2006 in January, New Jersey RailFest 2006 in March, Montreal RailFest 2006 (including Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa) in July, Mid-Atlantic RailFest 2006 (featuring Baltimore and Philadelphia) in late August, and our one-day Keystone Excursion 2006 in mid-November. Reports for the last three events are coming soon. Some of us also met for smaller fests at other times. It's always nice to see the comeraderie between various members of the group who get together and have their own planned outings on the trains in various places. Mike Hammond hosted a fest in October featuring Pittsburgh and the Cuyahoga Valley Railroad tourist line in Ohio. Michael and I took a round trip to and from Florida in April, during which we rode in First Class both ways. Unfortunately, the notes to the end of that report were lost and the report may never see the light of day. Amtrak went through its annual dance with underfunding. A new President took over at Amtrak and late in the year he purged some of the high level people who were there through previous administrations. During the year, we saw cities like Denver, St. Louis, and Sacramento open additions to their light rail systems. Chicago opened to the public what had been non-revenue track connection in order to create its Pink Line heavy rail, part of which runs concurrent with a branch of the Blue Line. On the commuter rail front, new starter lines began service in the Nashville and Albuquerque areas. A positive note is that both will expand in the coming years, and that progress was made towards construction of the Greenbush Line in the Boston area, a new FrontRunner service in Utah, and a similar service in the Denver area. I rode enough Amtrak to maintain my Guest Rewards Select status for another year, clinching it in August during travel related to the MARF 2006 event. Michael, was also able to keep his Select status, but it took some back and forth pointless riding late in the year to bring his total of rail-earned points to exactly 5,000. On a personal note, it was a very unstable year with my job situation. I knew going into the year 2006 that my employer was considering mass layoffs. I didn't know at the time whether they would affect me or not. When the news became official I was one of the people they decided to keep. However they offered me hours that were simply impossible for me to handle. So I requested to be put on the list of people who were leaving, thus opening up a position for somebody else who had originally been chosen to leave. The thought was that I would find a position closer to home involving less driving. As people did leave my company the end of June, it became immediately apparent that the company had made a mistake. Not only did they find themselves extremely shorthanded, but the people overseas who were taking our jobs on weekends were not fully grasping the work. I became a fixture at work on weekends so that I could continue to observe how our operation was being handled in Switzerland. The end date of my job was extended five months from late June to late November. Then it was decided that they would keep 4 more people, and I was extended indefinitely, albeit with uncomfortable hours. By that time we knew that those who had left the firm in June were unsuccessful in finding employment, so the further extension was accepted. That's a bit off topic, but it laid the groundwork for my availability over the year to hold the above rail fests. It was remarkable that I was able to hold five events in 2006, when I didn't know if we would be able to do anything after our March gathering. Since I've now kept my seniority and the multitude of vacation days that go with it, I'm free to continue planning for such events in 2007 and beyond. Were any significant rail events overlooked? And what memories do you have about train trips you took during 2006? -------------------- Kevin Korell OTOL Board Leader Howell, NJ |

"This is Our Genesis": Interview with UltimateRazer
GhaudePhaede010: Genesis II is upon us. Genesis II is upon us. This means there are epic players coming from all over the country to enjoy at least a weekend of sun, babes, babes, and video games in the wonderful Northern California vistas. With that said, I am joined by one of thee ICONS of todays Brawl game. A tournament legend! A native TEXAS resident (lol Texas). A national threat, a doubles mastermind. THE SNAKE GURU and MY BROTHERS FAVORITE SMASH BROS. PLAYER!!! OMFG get hype for thee one and only ULTIMATERAZER!!!!! ULTIMATERAZER, thank you so much for joining me today and allow me to start this off by saying I hope you get the Karma from this interview to place top 100 at Genesis II. THANK YOU!
UltimateRazer: Haha no problem. Nice intro ^__^, and I'll at least be getting top 8 ;)
GhaudePhaede010: Before we get too far into Genesis and the whole nature and atmosphere of this amazing tournament, I have to ask; Wii remote and Nunchuk? Why that control scheme and how did it make you feel when MLG decided against allowing for use of any control scheme other than Gamecube controller? Also, I am thee only high level Melee player to convert to Brawl and use a controller other than Gamecube controller (Classic is what I use). Did you play Melee at high level at all?
UltimateRazer: Well these two questions sort of relate to each other (why wiimote/nunchuck and if I played melee at high level). I've played smash since I was 4 starting with Smash 64. Naturally my brothers and I bought Melee. Being the case, I used the GC controller. I never actually played Melee competitively because of how young I was. I didn't even know tournaments existed. Toward the release of Brawl's release (2006-2007), I picked up Melee again after I stopped playing. My brothers and I began to play again with FFA items on Hyrule Castle and such. It slowly began to evolve though. We started doing teams on Hyrule with items on sudden death. It eventually evolved into 1v1 on FD with no items. I was very competitive so I wanted to win all of these. I used Samus/Sheik. I thought I was the best, but I always lost to my cousin who used Fox. After a while, we move towards Brawl's released. I was SUPER hyped for the game and followed the Dojo every day. Whenever I found out there was going to be a tournament at the Gamestop release, I began practicing like crazy with the GC controller. A day or two before the release, I found out that wiimote/nunchuck would be the scheme used in the tournament. I got worried and quickly looked up the controls for the wiimote/nunchuck and tried to visualize it. After losing, I played GC controller for about a week at home, then I switched to wiimote/nunchuck and slowly began to use it (I didn't know there was a competitive scene yet). From there on, I used wiimote/nunchuck.When MLG banned it...I was quite discouraged. I refunded my plane ticket for Orlando and never bothered to spend the money to go. I went to MLG Dallas though with 2 weeks of GC controller practice. Plus, the wiimote/nunchuck is so much more comfortable than the GC controller :]
GhaudePhaede010: Amazing stuff right there. Look at Gamestop actually contributing to gamers instead of raping our wallets... what a company. And as far as MLG, I live in Florida and I was not at all excited about that announcement since I use the Classic Controller. What a failure on ruleset and planning. Seriously, a Wii game and I cannot use Wii controls? Makes no sense. Moving on... I plan on watching the livestream of Doubles Brawl from start to finish because playing Brawl as closely as I do, I prefer thee action and pace of doubles to singles. The reason I play the game is because it offers 2v2 and I think that is thee best idea in a fighting game ever. Do you prefer singles or doubles and why? Who is your doubles partner going to be for Genesis II? Also, if given the chance, I would team with Inui, Shu, or yourself over anyone else in the world, who is your favorite doubles partner and who would you absolutely love to team with that you have yet to team with for whatever reason?
UltimateRazer: Exactly what I thought: A console that can't use it's own controller? Forced to use a controller that doesn't even sell anymore? Ugh, but it's all over now. Hmmmm. I believe doubles is more fun than singles, but I prefer singles still. I prefer it because, I've always thought of singles as the main event since I've begun the competitive scene. I always wanted to be the best and wanted to prove it. It's been a long road, but I'm not even nearly there yet. No matter how I win in singles, it is still fun to me. For Genesis 2, I will be teaming with my static partner, Gnes. My favorite doubles partner is...Gnes lol. We have so much synergy. Hmmmm, either M2K, Ally, or Anti. I've only teamed with one pro MK at something big (Dojo). M2K cause he's M2K lol. Anti is a good MK and extremely good at doubles. I would only team with Ally ONLY if we do double snake. I would never ever do double snake, but he's an exception. It could go really bad or really rape xD.
GhaudePhaede010: Ally double Snake? THAT WOULD BE RAPE right there. As a fan, I would love to see that! Aright, I am not sure if you have tuned into my other interviews or not but as I told illmatic when I interviewed him, I ****ING HATE TEXAS. Weather, people, location, smell, attitude, horses, smog, dental care, all of it sucks in Texas. I hate LaBron and I am hyper glad he did not win the title this year but losing to TEXAS is just as crappy as him winning the title. How do you manage to stay in that crap-hole err I mean, state? Why have you not run away? And do you think getting out to Cali for Genesis II will influence you to stay the eff out of Texas? Please say yes. Help me get the last three good people in Texas OUT of Texas.
UltimateRazer: LOL. I think you have the wrong impression of Texas. Besides the hot weather, Texas is AMAZING. Although I wasn't going for the Mavs nor the Heat. I was born here and will probably stay here. All those negatives you've listened are probably in every state. We will be fine where we are at thank you very much. Sorry to disappoint!
GhaudePhaede010: Ewwwww. I gotta say, that is pretty disheartening. And on the topic of Genesis II, do you feel extra hype about this tournament? I know when I talked to people about tournaments like Apex, they tend to feel extra hype; like they are going to be part of something epic and amazing. Do you get the same sensation with Genesis or is it honestly more of a, "Business as usual" approach? How do you prepare for large tournaments such as this one? And what do you think is a key to keeping you locked in once you get to the site itself?
UltimateRazer: Yes, I do. I don't travel OOS unless I'm hyped for it. Genesis 1 was the best Smash trip of my life, so I'm hoping this will be amazing too. For nationals...of course you need to practice with humans, but I prepare my mind set the most. It's happened before. If you aren't mentally prepared, you will absolutely crumble just as I did at Apex. You need to rid yourselves of the nerves, have perfect execution, and think things through. You apply this with your game training, and you are ready for a national. When I get there, I have to uphold that mindset, SLEEP, and EAT. I forgot to eat at Genesis 1 on singles day and paid the price xD. All of this is essential to doing well at tournaments.
GhaudePhaede010: When I travel for video game tournaments, or any reason lately, I try to take in the community around me (except in Texas. I run from the fat, white hillbilly women and try to stay indoors as much as possible). Do you plan to try to get anything in other than video gaming while in California for Genesis II? Not that you have to give me your plans in detail or anything, but when you travel (and I know you do, I met you at Winterfest), is there any sort of trademark thing you like to do or experience when you get there? For example, I like to pee in a public toilet not related to the hotel I am staying in. Even a McDonalds across the street. It gives me a chance to say I saw something outside of the limited box I almost feel prohibited to, you know?
UltimateRazer: LOL there are like none of those [fat white women] here. I don't know where you were, but you need to try Houston or something xD. As much as I want to, I won't be able to =/. We got our flights coming in Thursday night and leaving Monday. Whoa you did? Sorry I don't remember =/. Wait a second...now FLORIDA is a HORRIBLE STATE. I want my Winterfest money T___T. Wow wth? Lmao that's weird...nah I don't plan nothing special...just to go to In N Out and enjoy the hotel and tournament.
GhaudePhaede010: I am from California. I had just moved to Florida and yes, it is a ****stain of a state that conducts bad business on the daily (Editor's Note: Florida ain't paying them Texas queers a ****ing penny). But I am NOT Floridian, I am a Californian that has lived in Florida for a few years now. As you mentioned, at Apex you were not on your best game. How do you handle shaking off a tough loss or the feeling of general underperforming? What advice can you give to players new to the pressure situations on how to learn from the growing pains of trying to make it to the next level? Also, since you are a benchmark within this community as a person and player, how do you feel about people throwing out your name when assessing BIG wins in their tournament careers? I assume sometimes it must be frustrating?
UltimateRazer: California is 2nd best state after Texas so you're excused. Well first, you have to accept the loss. No matter what happened, you gotta realize that you lost and try to think about what you did wrong or what happened. You then need to think about what you could have done better and what you need to work on. Later on, if there are videos, watch those and study what happened. I tell them, LOVE the pressure. Being able to handle that pressure is what makes you grow to the next level as a player. Of course, it can be frustrating at first but I just shrug it off. It's the past and I just focus on revenge or the next tournament. Boasting big wins doesn't mean much if you lose at the next event to that player or someone lower. Always keep on improving.
GhaudePhaede010: As a stream monster, I have developed players I want to see win, story lines, and match analysis of all my favorite players. When you are not at big tournaments, who do you prefer to cheer for or root against? Do you have a loyalty system in place? And since you will be at Genesis II, who are you looking forward to seeing again and meeting for the first time (maybe)? Do you still get starstruck when meeting good players in the community and how does it make you feel when you find out someone is a big fan of yours?
UltimateRazer: Hmmm, I prefer to cheer for my Texans lol. Gotta cheer for my brethren ya know? Who do I root against....? That will be kept secret xD. But naturally, I would root against my threats and such. I'm looking forward to seeing the WC people again. Haven't seen them in a while. Nah I don't...I've met most of the top players, and it doesn't intimidate me as much. Although, I'm hyped to meet out of country people. Ah that's who I forgot. I'm excited to see Rain and Earth again. I loved the Japan guys. I feel honored when someone say's they are a fan of mine. Also gives me a little boost to keep playing lol. Gotta keep them happy ^__^.
GhaudePhaede010: First of all, who you root against should be no secret. That sucks. Everyone knows I root against Mew2King. Like any sport, there will be players, teams, whatever that people will root against. I am a diehard Lakers fan so how do you think I feel about the city of Boston? I think you get the picture. Anyway, when I interviewed Fatal, he considered you a better Snake main than him. He even went as far as to say he looked up to you within the community. Personally, getting that answer was a fond moment because it showed how honest and human the top level players are. Most people see you guys as computeresque with no human emotion and no life other than video gaming. Who do you look to for inspiration? Are there any players that you look up to within the community? And what do you do outside of video gaming that keeps your engine running?
UltimateRazer: Lol okay okay. Let me see...hmmm. I root against D3 players lmao. I hate that character. I root against top players in general if I have to fight them early...I think that is wack..but farther into the bracket, I do want to play them. I would root against FL like ESAM and Seibrik, but like I said, I like to take revenge on my losses, so I do want to play them. I don't really have a specific person or persons I root against. It's all situational. Wow, that was really cool of Fatal. That's a common misconception about players. The only player I look up to is Dojo. Back in the day, he was my goal and target. We had similar aggressive styles, so it was always cool to clash. He also has the same drive and will as I do. He was always getting better. I had to keep up. Hmm during school, I do school lol. I go to movies with friends, go out with my family, etc. I recently started volunteering (something for school) and I do running as well. Being a top player doesn't always mean you have no life and spend 24/7 practicing. It's not true at all.
GhaudePhaede010: Thank Ghaude you come in and say that. Most people truly have that common misconception of the basement dweller being the best player and I know it is not true. I have a family, three daughters, a job, am fairly well liked (although weird) and come off as fairly normal when people meet me. Alright, moving on and off topic but I gotta ask know because the world wants to know: What kind of women get you? I love white women, and Persian women (ohhh yes) and hispanic women are growing on me madly. What kind of women do you want to sexually, "exploit" in the near future?
UltimateRazer: LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The world really wants to know this? Lool, well I think prefer Hispanic then Whites, then Asians. Maybe some mixed or a foreign race, but we'll see!
GhaudePhaede010: Yes the world wanted to know. That is all mostly everyone wants to know when I ask them about what to ask you (editor's note: That is a total lie. Nobody wanted to know that except GhaudePhaede010). I hate the Brawl Unity rule set. It infuriates me to no end and shows exactly why a community vote is necessary over a governing body. As far as Genesis II goes, I am not sure if they decided to use the unity rule set or not but it is imperative that I ask you, as I have asked EVERYBODY I have interviewed: how do you feel about the Brawl Unity ruleset and if you could make any adjustments, what would they be?
UltimateRazer: Hmm. I don't really care for the unity rule set. It doesn't really effect me and actually helps me (LGL on all characters). I would change the stages though or some of them. Also the issue on splitting is iffy. Other than that, it seems alright to me.
GhaudePhaede010: Wow. I must admit, I did not see that answer coming but good **** surprising me. Since this interview is in the main spirit of Genesis II and getting top three is obviously your goal, how do you want the rest of your fail... errr Texas brethern to perform? Is there a certain level of pressure or expectation placed on any of you and if so, are you feeling it yet? Do you get the tournament nerves before big tournaments or does it mostly come up during tournament and matches?
UltimateRazer: I want them to get at least top 8 (Gnes and Trela). The lower ones I want a reasonable goal of top 16 or even upsets! Denti has been rapidly improving so hopefully he can pull some stuff off. I think Texas expects Me and Gnes and Trela to rape...I think they expect Gnes and I to get top 5 so there's a hidden pressure. It's weird..I don't feel the pressure from them until after I lose..then I feel like I've let them down. Nah, after Apex I don't get nerves at the tournament anymore. It mostly comes up right before the match or during a match against a top level player.
GhaudePhaede010: Being that you have full on rockstar status, is there a grind to raising the money for you to get out to big tournaments across the country like Genesis II? I have a full time job so it is not as difficult because I can just set money aside and gradually pay for my trips but for thee average gamer, there are times when I wonder, "how in the **** did you get the money together to get out here?" So, what do you do and what are some of the crazier things you have heard of people doing to raise the money to get out to big tournaments (insert male stripper and jiggalo stories here)?
UltimateRazer: Lmao. Yeah see I did the smart thing and saved my money when I began winning it. I always have enough or just barely enough to make the trip. I'll make this one and hopefully win some and more back. Hmmm, the craziest thing I've seen is someone get a job where they dressed in some chicken or fish suit or something and danced on the side of the road for like 2 weeks in scorching heat. That's about all I know of.
GhaudePhaede010: That is pretty insane but to get to Genesis II or a tournament of this scale, I would do it. I mean, wouldn't you? Since you have done some traveling in your career, I can ask you this and feel confident: Where have you been to that you absolutely want to revisit (for me, Maryland)? Where have you been that you never want to go to again for any reason whatsoever (for me, Texas), and where have you NOT been that you would love to experience if only once (for me, Australia)?
UltimateRazer: Of course I'd do it! Honestly...California lol. Greatest trip of my life and the state is amazing its self. Flordia.....you know why xD. I HATE NJ as well because there is NEVER anything to eat around the venues ugh. Or there is just like only one thing to eat all weekend. My stomach always shrinks when I visit. That is why Wendy's is off my list forever -.-. I would LOVE to go to Japan..but it will be a lot harder after the disaster and all.
GhaudePhaede010: Yea, that was a pretty tragic event. My brother is stationed in Okinawa and he has been to the mainland many times to give help and support. It is totally a desperate situation over there. It gets downplayed in the states : (
UltimateRazer: Ah sorry to hear that =/. Hope he's safe.
GhaudePhaede010: He is. And thank you. I wish everyone over there well. My brother is pestering me to ask you so I am going to have to: he is learning Snake and wants to know any good advice for Snake players. Not simple everyday tips, but what it takes to really break the mold as a Snake player? And why have you not taken up a second main (aka Metaknight ala ALLY THE SELLOUT)?
UltimateRazer: Haha. I'll tell him now the the life of Snake is a hard one. Not many players stick to him all the way. First off, MASTER your basics...like this is so important to the snake meta game. Master execution and tech skill with him as well. Messing up a jab to turn around grab or utilt can be very costly for him. Find different ways to recover...Ally was so good at this. You need to use all your options to escape the air safely otherwise you'll be damaged heavily. Learn stage control with explosives. Learn when and when not to attack with certain moves...ftilt is not safe at all. LEARN YOUR MATCH UPS. Snake vs X (not the Sonic lol) can change dramatically. Like D3 vs Snake is different than Falco vs Snake. Lastly, learn snake and all of his options...it may sound simple but it is not. I havn't taken up a second character cause I love Snake too much in tournament. Always will stay Snake forever.
GhaudePhaede010: Well that answer makes him so happy. And since I broke format by asking a question on behalf of my brother, I decided to do something different here: Questions from the fans. I have five questions here from random people in the free play chat room and after this, we will conclude thee interview:
GhaudePhaede010: Should Metaknight be banned? Do you think he hurts the metagame? - El Fude, Florida
UltimateRazer: This one is iffy. Sometimes I feel as if he should be banned, but other times not. A strict rule set limiting him could be effective. I'd like to see a six month ban to see the results of the tournaments before and after the ban. When they plank and scrooge and time out people, then that is hurting the metagame. So he can hurt it and cannot if that makes sense.
GhaudePhaede010: How do you feel about thee, "alleged" rapture coming on October 21? EternalTempest, Florida
UltimateRazer: Lol, I feel like it's not going to happen. No one can know when the end of the world occurs.
GhaudePhaede010: With all the new found techs in brawl do you think it will come anywhere close to competitive play in melee? - Premofire101, south carolina
UltimateRazer: Unfortunately no. Melee game wise will be more competitive than Brawl. Mind set wise though (player wise), Brawl can be just as competitive.
GhaudePhaede010: What was your first video game console? numonezeldafan, canada
UltimateRazer: My first video game console was the SNES :).
GhaudePhaede010: Favorite tournament ever attended and what made it so special? Que, Japan
UltimateRazer: Genesis 1 was my favorite. I had a BLAST with my fellow Texans. The hotel was amazing, the tournament was amazing, and the state of California was amazing. I just overall enjoyed everything and the community.
GhaudePhaede010: Thank you guys so much for being a part of this interview.
GhaudePhaede010: ULTIMATERAZER, thank you so much for doing this interview in the spirit of my favorite tournament and two of my favorite tournament promoters. I am so honored to have you in my presence and hopefully sometime in the near future, especially if you continue to perform so strong on a national scale, you will have time to set asied and do another, more detailed interview. You are the man. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! If you have any shout-outs and/or e-hate let it be known now!
UltimateRazer: No problem!
UltimateRazer: Shout-outs to Gnes for being so gay with Diddy and helping me train. Same goes to Trela but with Lucario. Shout-outs to Zori for being based and Sync for being my cousin. Shout-out to you for interviewing me.
UltimateRazer: E-hate to D3 players and Snake counters lmao
GhaudePhaede010: For Iyolah! For Eternity!

The service was fast and the staff was polite, the seat was not comfortable but over all I like this placemore
I was disappointed. We ordered a chicken/mango Pad Thai and a coconut prawn with coconut rice. Not only did we get served the wrong food once(vegetarian pad thai); but, we got the wrong food twice and then other people around us got the food we ordered. Then, they didn't get their orders. We had to chase down a server to let them know we had a problem each time.
It ended up being very late...more
Yum yum, I love Busaba Eathai! Quick & Efficient service, tasty Thai food and funky male & female toilet signs!
Food not nearly as good as SOHO branch. Wouldn't come back. Undercooked, stringy chicken whereas other branch was plump and juicy...more
If the only complaint you have of a meal is over-attentiveness then you got it pretty good.
The service was fast and they were very accommodating with our demands (since the drool monster, who btw no longer drool was with us) for sauces on the sides and no chillis. The pad thai, fried chicken and veg were excellent, though I wasn't so sure about the coconut prawns (but they had to de-chilli...more

Updated: Twelve under-the-hood improvements in Opera 12, and 11.65
By Huib Kleinhouthuibk. Thursday, June 14, 2012 6:05:38 AM
Faster startup with many tabs
Previously it could take a while to start Opera if you had many tabs open. In Opera 12 tabs are loaded smarter; fewer at the time with those that are visible or recently accessed loading first. Opera now always starts up equally fast no matter how many tabs you have open. -
Out-of-Process Plug-ins
Plug-ins are notorious for causing stability issues. In fact almost one third of all crashes in Opera are caused by plug-ins. In Opera 12 plug-ins are isolated in a separate process, when they crash all you need to do is reload the page. -
Experimental Hardware Acceleration and WebGL
Opera 12 contains experimental support for full hardware acceleration and WebGL. While the stability and performance depends on the OS, drivers and graphics card, it is already available for testing. Enabling opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableWebGL allows you to test WebGL content and enabling opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableHardwareAcceleration makes not only the web page but the whole user interface being render via the graphics card. By accessing opera:gpu you can check the current status of Hardware Acceleration and WebGL. Using opera:config#UserPrefs|Preferredrenderer you can switch between OpenGL (0) and DirectX (1). -
Is something slowing down Opera or your computer? You can now easily check with opera:cpu. -
Improved loading performance
In Opera 12 the loading of pages has been optimized to ensure that resources like scripts, style sheets and images are loaded more efficiently. The result: Faster loading of pages! -
Improved performance on secure connections
When loading a secure page (https) the browser goes through a complex process to establish a secure connection. This exact steps in this process vary from web server to web server, depending on the certificates, version and implementation of TLS they support. For Opera 12 we've analyzed and optimized many of the different steps in this process. Overall many secure pages are now loading faster than before! -
In each release Opera learns a new language. New in Opera 12 is the capability to support Right-To-Left languages which makes it possible to support Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Urdu. With Kazakh in addition, Opera is now translated into 55 languages. -
Improved HTML5 support
HTML5 is the heart and soul of the web. Opera 12 adds support for drag and drop, camera access (getUserMedia), css animations and more. -
Improved extensions support
The windows/tabs extensions api has been revamped to include support for access to tab stacks. Check out dev.opera for more upcoming extension features. -
64 bit Windows and Mac
Opera 12 is now available in 64 bit for all platforms. Note that because 64 bit applications use more memory than their 32 bit equivalent, the default version of Opera for Windows will continue to be 32 bit. -
Do Not Track
Opera 12 enhances your privacy by supporting the "Do Not Track" feature. You can enabled it in Opera's Preferences dialog (Preferences > Advanced > Security > Ask websites not to track me). -
Improved address field suggestions
Based on feedback from you we've implemented numerous of tweaks to the address field making the suggested results cleaner, more accurate and more relevant.
Try out Opera 12 and stay tuned for new Opera Next builds!
Update: Mac App Store edition
Opera 12 was released earlier today through all our distribution channels but one. We now also announce the released of Opera 11.65, a security and stability update for the version of Opera that is distributed exclusively through the Mac App Store (MAS).
As of June 1st, it has been a requirement for all applications in the MAS to be using Mac OS' sandboxing security technology. Although Opera itself has completed all the work needed and is running fine in a sandboxed environment, we have chosen to delay the MAS release of Opera 12 with sandboxing enabled. To ensure that our users get the best experience, we need third party plug-ins such as Flash Player from Adobe and Java from Apple/Oracle working in a sandboxed environment. These key third-parties still need more time to update their products.
Opera 12 for Mac without sandboxing is available from http://www.opera.com/browser/ today, and Opera 11.65 will be made available in the Mac App Store shortly.

Rare: Games to give out Avatar clothing "like Achievements"
Rare has told VG247 that games will soon give players items of clothing and accessories for their 360 Avatars in the same way they hand out Gamer Points.
"In time… games will be able to give away clothes and accessories just like Achievements," said art head Lee Musgrave.
As to which games specifically will be using Avatars in this way, the developer wouldn't be drawn.
"We are currently working with multiple partners who have expressed interest in using Avatars," added producer Stacey Law.
Currently, Avatars are being dressed in launch clothing, although a few free packs have been given out, such as winter hats and gloves and soccer shirts.
Avatars were added to 360 with the release of New Xbox Experience last year.

Startup helps find cheapest prescription drugs
Everyone knows food and gas prices can vary by location, but the same is often true of prescription drugs.
GoodRX, which launched a new Web site today at the Health 2.0 conference in San Francisco, aims to show consumers where they can find the lowest price on prescription drugs by ZIP code.
"A lot of innovation looks at price transparency and convenience for health procedures, but nobody is looking to improve the consumer experience," said Doug Hirsch, co-founder of the Los Angeles-based startup. "We believe this first product from GoodRX can help every consumer in the U.S. easily save money."
Pulling data from state and federal agencies and from pharmacies directly, GoodRX says it analyzes more than a million prices for more than 6,000 drugs at 25,000 pharmacy locations in the United States. This allows consumers to compare prices on specific drugs based on where they live. … Read more
