What were they thinking with link?!?!
Our research in each part of the world commonly indicates that consumers between the age of 18 and 25 represent a large percentage of those who purchased "Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS" in the release period. It is approximately 30 percent in Japan, which is twice the overall average of Nintendo 3DS software, and has even reached 50 percent in the U.S. and Europe.
Or maybe parents buying them for their children?
It just wouldn't feel right if this was a zelda title. It'd be really weird looking..
Every guy is going to create an alt if they have to inorder to vote the last image.
Notice me senpai!
Doesn't even have a clue who that is..
@Azooooz It's more of a psychological game.. You're rushing the whole time you do it. For example you gotta beat this or that temple withen the (in-game) 3 days if you want to progress. Afterward you play the song of time and it resets everything back to dawn of the first day, (including all the depressing tragedies you fixed..) while keeping the items you need to progress to the next area.
So for example.. you save that monkey's life in the first three days, get to move on, but then you have to go back in time to move to the next area.. this time the monkey has no one to save him as you're saving somebody else..
Very depressing and dark.
Inb4 those 15 don't have streetpass enabled..
I'm not really the type to get excited for new games I never tried yet (S.T.E.A.M., Splatoon) and MM was more or less just a "That was a good move" sorta thing rather than a hype inducing thing for me. (Especially since I already played it)
To say the least there was nothing that made me go crazy like a new metroid reveal or something would've.
TL;DR Nothing surprised me 4/10 just for majora's mask.
Probably isn't, but honestly why would they take action for it anyway? Sure it's wrong but it's not nessecarly claiming it's their pieces with their own name without nintendo's involvement.
That face reminds me of something..
Aw so adorible..
Makes me feel even better when they are shot by man-at-legs
I'm a sick person
@Porky Which one was first in brawl and smash 4? Lucario, they were never in the same game together and while lucario had a very similar moveset he's not really a clone to something nonexistant in the game. Sure he was in melee but lucario replaced him rather than being a clone in the same game.
In this one however, I fear with as many clones as we already have, and the similarites between the two between the games they were found in, mewtwo will likely just be a buffed up verison of lucario, if not exactly the same simliar to pit and dark pit/mario and dr. mario.
YAY!!!... another clone..
I don't think there will be a big difference between lucario and mewtwo.. except one being more awesome and stronger than the other..
Ridley tho.
All giratina-origin triples battle. Framerate is nearly nonexsistant.
Ice type pac-man is all that comes to mind with M-Glalie
Mega evolution adds alot more versitility to the games IMO.. the pokemon getting the megas are still useless in their base forms and stuck in their lower tiers, but making a mega evolution is almost like making a new pokemon entirely mixing up the strategies and usage. Sure mega skhan was just annoying but we got plenty of new toys to scare that thing now (gallade)
While the stats are scary people tend to forget that they cannot hold an item which nerfs them slightly.
The main issue is the lack of teambuilding.. all teams look similar. Azumaril, landorus, and garchomp are on probably 99% of all competitive teams.. litteraly I seen the same core on showdown in 5 different battles IN A ROW! I recall masuda saying he picks pokemon used alot online to justify whether or not it gets a mega.. I'll be extremely upset to see landorus and azumaril to get a mega when they're just flat out the only things good to run rather than people actually caring about them.
Mega evolution has nothing to do with that, but it does have to do with breaking it since new megas means more threats to break the core and more options in team building. It's just a matter of which pokemon get those megas.. now the obviously broken ones, those are gone to ubers so I could care less if arceus got a mega.. unless there is a "roster limit" type thing where they goal to only make a certain % of mega evolutions. However I'm extremely thrilled to see steelix getting a mega, and I actually called glalie from the start. Not that I care for the pokemon themselve but they're what I'd like to see getting megas over garchomp, dragonite, etc.
Now I just need mega flygon and I'll be happy. Tropius and chimecho would've been good pokemon to give megas as well not that I really care too much for them.
Hopefully the data found in the demos was inaccurate..
Still in development? I hope the bug testing team isn't on vacation.. that usually ends badly (like it did already for smash 3ds.)
wait wait wait.. if the site is down until the 21st.. and you have to be signed up to their newsletter on site by the 20th for the oras demo then.. O.O
Good thing I signed up early..
Incase nobody noticed it's under "Games & more" if you look at the screenshot. Only thing we're missing from brawl is boss battles but we only have those two.. maybe it will have us fight master hand or crazy hand whenever we want or something like smash run with just bosses and them two at the end.
It isn't classic mode.
Does anybody not remember how they handled this in the past?
For example.. diamond, pearl, and then platinum and HGSS..
If you were using a rotom-wash in platinum, versus a player playing diamond/pearl, on their screen it would just look like a normal rotom.
It could likely be the same here.. the megas are there just their models won't be shown in x/y or their stones traded.
Just america.
You also have to make sure your spam doesn't reconize the pokemon newsletters.
Exactly why we have cloners and powersaves.
28 in x/y (not counting latis)
18 in ORAS (counting latis)
46 mega evolutions total, and 2 primals.
AAARGH is beedrillite going to be in ruby or sapphire? Great! Now I'm more pressured with deciding if I preordered the right game!
@Hydrone I'm going by x/y logic. We recieved 30 megas in pokemon x/y (28 not counting the hidden eons)
that being said.. so far we got 16 megas (18 counting the eons..) we could potentially have only 12-14 more megas left in the games.. and audino I'm 100% sure won't be the only unova mega.
Don't get me wrong.. i am THRILLED with mega beedrill, as long as he gets 40+ in speed and 60+ in atk he'll be super amazing, but pigeot I'm not too thrilled about consituring we have another regional bird/s actually in hoenn (who i wouldn't really care much about anyway) that should've recieved it prior to these. Hoenn should be their priority not kanto.. johto, sinnoh, maybe a little unova, and no kalos until the kalos remakes.
and we can assume butterfree is getting a mega as well however that would even work out with a sash reliant quiver dancer.
However you're right we don't know for sure.. they may expand the ammount of megas. All I know is they better no forget that this is the hoenn region and leave out well deserved megas like flygon.
Serebi just confirmed pigeot is getting a boost to it's Special and beedrill is getting a boost in Atk/Speed
8 Player smash?
Inb4 ike kills everybody at once with final smash
Mega beedrill now.. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE! Buffing extremely underappreciated pokemon! I've always said to myself.. "I'd want a mega beedrill but it's just one of those lame bug types at the start of the game i doubt they'll go that far." Instead they actually pull it off...
HOWEVER.. I'm disappointed about mega beedrill's appearence right now because we need alot of pokemon in the hoenn region like flygon, tropius, etc to get some love... I love this thing but it just wasn't a smart move in the long run.. (I doubt after oras we'll be getting hoenn megas in other games like z/xy2)
Also the sad thing is the fact no matter what boost the mega evolution gives.. he will still have 70 or something base speed the turn he megas, be frail, and probably end up dead switching into something. Doesn't have priority.
252+ Atk Technician Mega Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Beedrill: 241-285 (88.9 - 105.1%) — 31.3% chance to OHKO
Mega pigeot: I was never a fan of giving regional birds megas either and pigeot of all them definitly wasn't a smart move when we have hoenn birds. No guard is very useless.. I know people are mentioning hurricane but it's too reliant on hax to get the confusion as flying/normal isn't the best offensive coverage. If it got gale wings, different story.
Mega lati@s: Not much for me to say consituring I have these already in x/y. It was only a matter of time before revealed.
All their designs are really cool! Love beedrill's! (Kinda looks like escavalier IMO) and while I don't really care for pigeot itself.. it's mega is cool looking too I guess. Mega lati@s I always like just was hoping they'd recolor them at the very least.
I hope they give us a mega ariados just to give the guy some love as well.. not in oras though. I just want to see mega flygon at this point and i'll be happy.. but they need to focus on things like chimecho, tropius, flygon, walrein, wailord, glalie, etc etc..
Unless they mention the US withen the week.. everybody else is getting the demo on the 15th-16th.
What a crime shame.. basicly we're just buying an adapter for 1 game and 1 game only.. when we already have another verison that doesn't need anything at all (and we all own it!)
Smash bros. are not going to do much for the wii u as hoped for it seems. I'll just be happy with my 3ds verison which won't need an adapter to play. Smash bros. was always better played with the NGC controller due to better grip and control layouts.
I think dark pit only needs classic mode beaten three times and you can unlock duck hunt by beating classic mode at any difficultly 8 times, and beat classic 10 times for Game & Watch.
Dr. mario is also unlocked by beating classic mode with mario. Ganondorf is unlocked by beating classic mode as link.
This is how I unlocked these characters.
Not exactly, rayquaza has four of those horn like things around his neck. The bottom two form the shape of the delta symbol Δ, which seems appropriate seeing his ability is delta stream and alpha/omega is the games' names. (Also lower case delta 𝛿 resembles the streamers or whatever those transperant orange things are) They're not mandibles like giratina-O. Infact they appear motionless.
It's design is so freaking awesome! I was always against giving already good pokemon like legendaries mega evolutions (or even primals) from the start, but this one just looks so amazing..
As long as flygon is given a mega I'll be happy. I'm very reliefed that primal kyorge/groudon will be less abused thanks to this. Doesn't appear to be much stronger than regular rayquaza with life orb, just gotta worry about that bulk..
@Gameday Only if you were making and selling them. This is something you bought and you modified yourself.
I might actually try this. I don't know when but If I ever find a very cheap or never used 3ds I'm going to give it a go.
I just don't know how I'd get all those microchips and such.. never understood how those are made
My only problem is.. is it nessecary? I would find that unconfortable looking down at a smal 3ds screen making a full play through of OOT.
Super Smash Warriors
hopefully without the return of jigglypuff
"we're looking for the best fighter"
everybody plays as the same character..
Wii u and wii ain't got anything on this..
Gamecube was HANDS.. DOWN.. the best system ever! Don't know what it was, maybe the games were just more interesting or fun or something.. but to this day alot of use find ourselves popping NGC disc in our wiis or old gamecubes. If I remember correctly.. I reach over 600 days on pikmin 2 on one save.. and made quite a few replays on the others. Metroid prime 1 and 2 were awesome games that current metroid games can't seem to live up to. Ty the tasmanian tiger was a very underapreciated EA game for the NGC (and the other consoles I think) that was surprisingly addicting too.
Oh.. and how could I forget my very first pokemon game colloseum? AWESOME.
Next up, Live streaming super smash bros. 3DS..
@LtAldoRaine If your biggest problem is M. kangashkan.. M. gallade over M. medicham then!
Thats all I got.. neither can live a return.
Mega flygon or riot!
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Actually sharpedo seems like it's going to be broken..I mean c'mon.. Speed boost prior to mega, and it has destiny bond taking out anything it's guarenteed not to OHKO. Sword's dance is also an option. However four moveslot syndrome is a problem.. aqua jet isn't strong enough as it's a weak move and it's not strong jaw boosted.. however mach punch will murder you otherwise. Power vs. survival and this is were it may be terrible..
@BlatantlyHeroic Same playstyle, I like it, (I still use aegislash so no smogon perspective here fyi) but like I said.. even if using gallade, what is the unpredictability difference between him and medicham? Sub-dance maybe? Could work (does he get focus punch?) but like I was pointing out they're very identical. If one has a different niche compared to the other like setup then perhaps it's just as good or better than medicham.. then medicham has competition trying to make sets to outclass gallade... this is why one of the two needed a type change or something so they can't be compared.
I can see gallade pairing well with heatran and galvantula.. galvantula can put up sticky web so after an SD=GG. Heatran is strickly for talonflame and stealth rocks. Galvantula can also deal with skarm and mandibuzz. Gallade has ice punch for everything else (gliscor specifically.)
Medicham vs. gallade=Sheer power vs. Setup+versitility.
I personally prefer clawitzer over blastoise since a mega slot isn't taken up. I even run sludge bomb on mine to surprise and lure azumaril.
That's not the problem.. the problem is, is it fast enough? Is it still too frail? Does it have high base power moves? Is it strong enough to compete with choice band/life orb? Well.. 100 base speed is something you'd want to scarf so not that impressive.. improvement definitly as seen with mega garde but not enough. Volcarona and slower things get away with it because they have a boosting move or have priority/are tanky. If gallade got huge power or even pure power I can see it abusing SD+shadow sneak but other than that, fake out, drain punch, mega medicham brings more to the table.. if I'm going to run a team of 1 mega and build around it.. (head smash aggron paired with it for talonflames?) wouldn't I want that mega to be my best choice? Or is it going to be outclassed by something else with the same niche only stronger in general.. and that exactly describes gallade vs. medicham..
Medicham has fake out to break sashes. Gallade doesn't.
Same speed tier.
Gallade could have 165 base power in attack, medicham has 200.
Gallade has shadow sneak for metagross and gengar, medicham has bullet punch for fairies.
Almost identical movepools with gallade having wider coverage.
Same typing and weaknesses.
They each have their similarities and that's what worries me..
I'm almost 100% sure that's be gallade's stat spread.. it wouldn't seem logical to reverse the pokemon's stats nonmega with gardevoir and not to when mega. The only way gallade can say it's different would be a new ability for it.. and that we have no clue yet. Either way just speculation.
repeating what I said in the ORAS thread
Not really sure what to think of this.. well mega gallade is awesome, that needed a buff for sure. Needless to say, sharpedo and camerupt too needed megas.. my concern was how could they make them any different than now?
Maybe strong jaw is good with sharpedo.. it only needs a single speed boost nonmega. However they might require protect wasting a moveslot.
Camerupt.. probably mega ampharos v.2 with worser typing and only running (for sheer force) fire blast, flamethrower, earth power, and that's it. Going to be tricky to use reguardless, atleast not any better than specs eruption trick room+sun teams..
Gallade definitly needed a mega, but sorry fans who begged for it.. it's still terrible because it's gallade's typing thats bad.. turning resistances into neutral hits and weak to two different, very common prioity. Unless it gets 130 speed (which is all it needs) and has a couple sword dance's with shadow sneak.. I can't see it being that useful.. lucario could atleast live a brave bird.
I'm pretty sure it's going to get the same boost as gardevoir when mega.. just special/physical reversed.
Atk: 165 +40
Def: 135 +20
SpD: 65 +0
SpA: 85 +20
Spe: 100 +20
Adverage at best.. doesn't give me a reason to use over lopunny or some other physical attacker mega with similar speed.
Wait.. so if you get the event diancie.. you get the diancite upon transfering it?
You have two seperate events.. the diancite is obtained via event reguardless of if you have it or not?
Diancite is randomly found in the game itself without an event or anything special?
I hope it's not two seperate events.. in two seperate games... and limited distribution time.. in different countries..
I hope they give us a new metroid soon...
We haven't seen a 2D.. or a first person shooter in a LONG time..
I actually liked other m.. atleast more than hunters anyway. Just needed less dialog and cutscenes... and better music

Unable to open file: CommonRes\costumes_a.brf
What do I do !?
1257 AD Middle Europe mod is a completely new mod for M&B, which is aiming for the historical medieval Middle-Europe. We want to make a historically correct mod (unit names are in real form by every nation), but not an unenjoyable one!
1257 AD Middle Europe, v2.2 (the newest version, already patched). To install, simply copy the mod folder to your "Modules" directory.
Unable to open file: CommonRes\costumes_a.brf
What do I do !?
^ Any answers?
Same problem like all here:Unable to open file: CommonRes\costumes_a.brf
Anybody to help?
Guys there is confusion here. This mod is for Mount&Blade not Warband and if you install it in Warband you get the above error message. If you are on Warband look for the mod ''Anno Domini 1257''.
This is for Mount & Blade, (Not WARBAND)
It works for me, when I copied it to the m&b moduls folder.
don't torrent the game, buy it. might fix the problem...

Avital Dery.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
With the Netanya Kibbutz Chamber Orchestra, life is never boring. Its artistic director, pianist cum conductor Yaron Gottfried, always knows how to bring a special touch to its programs, adding extra value to a purely musical experience.This time, one of the country's oldest orchestras tours Israel with a program dedicated to the music of Mozart and Salieri – and once again questions the legend according to which the latter, a mediocre composer, poisoned the former out of jealousy of his immense talent.The program features Mozart's Requiem and his Serenade K. 388, as well as fragments from Salieri's Requiem. Two fine choirs participate in the concerts: Moran under Naomi Faran; and Collegium Tel Aviv, directed by Avner Itay.Soprano Sharon Rostorff Zamir, contralto Avital Dery, tenor Itay Drory and bass Aleksey Kanunnikov are the soloists, while Gottfried conducts.The life story of Avital Dery is probably the most unusual among those of the concert participants.She combines her music and academic careers and is not going to give up either one.Born in Jerusalem into a family of a university professor father and a Yoga instructor mother, Dery was attracted to music as long as she can remember. She wanted to play violin from a very early age, but it took her years to convince her parents to let her study the instrument, which her mother found unattractive. She also sang in choirs and always knew that music would play an important role in her life, but she never saw herself as a professional musician. The change came when she was deeply involved in the study of physics."I was in my third year at Givat Ram University when my boyfriend at the time gave me a birthday present.Knowing about my attraction to the vocal art, he paid for six solfeggio lessons. Following recommendations, I sought out Jerusalem Music Academy teacher Marina Levit, who just laughed in my face. 'What can one learn in six lessons?'" Dery recounts.Nonetheless, they gave it a try. Levit told Dery that she had a rare mezzo-soprano voice and that it was a pity she was not a student at the academy."There, you will have a lot of opportunities," Levit told her. "You will learn, you will participate in productions and what not."Dery, who was 23 at the time, thought that Levit – who later became her teacher for five years and to whom she says she owes a lot – was probably right. She entered the music academy to develop her skills in the field, which she still regarded as a hobby. But at the end of her first year at the academy, she felt it was still not enough and was ultimately drawn into the world of professional music-making.Dery sang with various Israeli orchestras and has been singing for years with the Israeli Bach Soloists ("the ensemble that has become my home and where I have learned a lot").Her music career was on the rise. "I sang a minor role at the concert performance of Rigoletto with the Israel Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta, which was an unforgettable experience. Then I traveled to Germany to perform with the International Choir and sang solo with Christoph Eschenbach conducting and was later invited to perform at a gala concert at Opera Bastille in Paris," she says.However, the more Dery advanced in her music career, the more she felt unsure that she was built for that kind of life. "I immediately knew that opera was not for me. I thought maybe that my music future was about conducting kids' choirs – and I did it for a year in Jaffa – which was not me."She kept trying to find her place in the world of music, finally coming to the decision that she should return to the academic world. So Dery entered the Weizmann Institute and is currently working on her master's degree."This is the place that every science student dreams of, and I enjoy my studies a lot. That said, the world of music has enriched me immensely in many ways, and I can only pray that I will be able to divide my time between the two worlds that are so dear and so important to me."The Netanya Kibbutz Chamber Orchestra concerts take place on June 16 in Nahariya; June 17 at TAPAC in Tel Aviv; June 21 in Netanya; June 23 at Kibbutz Givat Brenner; June 24 in Ashkelon; June 26 at Ein Hahoresh; and June 30 in Modi'in.

While you're on the island, you can also take outdoor walks with National Park Service rangers and volunteers, who now look after Alcatraz, learning more about its military history, flora or the Indian occupation. This was the final chapter in the history of the island, before it passed into the ownership of the National Park Service. For nineteen months between 1969 and 1971, Alcatraz was occupied by a group of Native Americans, who demanded a deed to the island so that they could establish a university, cultural center and museum. They quickly established their own island-based community, with an elected council making sure that everyone on the island had a job and that all decisions were made with everyone's consent. But consent couldn't be gained on their demands and there was soon a stalemate with the government. Finally that was broken when armed federal marshals, FBI agents and Special Forces police removed the remaining protestors.
Evening tours were introduced in the 1990's and offer a range of extra activities not available during the day. One of the highlights is the tour offered by National Park Service rangers and volunteers on the incline up to the cell house. The guides are full of fascinating facts about the history of the island, allowing you to quickly forget the walk and instead concentrate on the story of how this place developed to become an infamous penitentiary. Once you've completed the audio tour, you can choose from a variety of additional programs on Alcatraz. When we visited, we were fascinated by the demonstration of the cell door slamming. It may sound mundane and as if it would be over in seconds, but this proved to be a great opportunity to learn even more about life on the Rook.
Alcatraz Island is open every day of the year except Christmas Day and New Year's Day, or during extreme weather. If you're planning to visit at peak times, especially during the summer or at holiday weekends, be warned – tickets to Alcatraz have been known to sell out as far as a week ahead. Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.blueandgoldfleet.com and boats leave from Pier 41.

Yet another zelda thread so soon, but they've released the true offical title today!
www.nintendo.com has trailers, screenshots, and rough storyline. Let the speculation begin! :D
wow... I didn't know that was the offical title.. well, now we know for sure.. Twilight Princess huh ? Sounds better than what I was told it was... you know.. umm, (forgot) .. but nice, I see new screenshots... and I still can't wait !! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !
Latest updates to the story: You're a farmboy in Hyrule and you must step up to fight off evil. (whoever that is, probably not ganondorf...) In the game you'll be able to ride horseback, using your bow and sword, and also the latest feature, turning into a wolf! That sounds pretty bad ass to me! Suppose to release at Christmas, now I can't wait!!!
accually he dousnt live in hyrule, link lives in a little ranch like village that sells cows and horses to hyrule.
I'm just wondering who that little person riding Link is...
I thought the little thing riding Link(wolf) was the little boy that's always in the trailers transformed, but I'm just guessing. :\
I was watching the footage live of Nintendo's Press Conference at E3 and I have to say the Twilight Princess trailer was one of, if not THE, best parts of the whole presentation(though finally seeing the *real* prototype Revolution and hearing about Smash Bros. was too). And it made me jealous to see Eiji Aonuma pulling out the DS cartridge of the demo to give to everyone at the conference!! "Dadadadaaaa"
The music in the trailer was phenomenal, Koji Kondo's rearrangements plucked at the strings in my heart for sure. The black and white/one primary color parts are really awesome too. I can't wait for this game to finally come out.
The little thing riding Wolf Link is named Midna if my assumptions are correct. I'm not sure who the little girl was though...
Did you get this information from the demo or a different resource?

Did Pebbles get TLC dropped from the label?
Pebbles Gets TLC Dropped From Epic Records
Via PopDust reports:
It looks like TLC may have already been dropped from Epic Records — a mere four months after signing a new deal with the label.
Although not officially confirmed yet, a TLC fansite pointed out on Twitter that the group's name has been removed from Epic's roster, while the label's logo no longer appears on TLC's own website.
The duo only signed a fresh deal with Epic back in July to release their greatest hits compilation, 20, and new single, "Meant To Be." In October, TLC confirmed to MTV that they were working on a new studio album with L.A. Reid, due for release in early 2014, and a couple of days after that, CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story premiered on VH1 to record ratings.
It sounds like things couldn't have possibly been going any better for TLC. After so much success, why would L.A. Reid (the same man who brought Ciara over to Epic Records at the lowest point in her career) pull the plug on a legendary act like TLC so suddenly?
Oh, hang on a minute: L.A. Reid is the ex-husband of Pebbles, who is currently engaged in a very public feud with TLC over her portrayal in their VH1 biopic!
Are we seeing a possible connection here?
Of course, we're just speculating. We don't know for sure if TLC were even dropped yet, and the whole Pebbles thing is just a theory we came up with because we couldn't think of any other viable reason for Epic to ditch the girl group at this point in time (Please don't sue us, Pebbles!).

Speed Cameras In Chicago Earn $50M Less Than Expected
Re:So it's like Colorado (398 comments)
What increase in crime? What loss in productivity? You also fail to recognize the elimination of major cost centers involved with prohibition: namely enforcement, judicial, and incarceration costs. Not only is your post flatly off topic, but it is also incredibly short sighted, based upon both flawed logic and ridiculous reefer madness-esque misunderstandings.

So, I'll be out of town for the next 3 days because DH and I are going to Toronto to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Originally, we were going to go to Arizona but since he's been laid off since December, we can't afford to do that.
So, instead we're going to Toronto (an hour east of where we live). We're staying at a Howard Johnson in Yorkville and have plans to go to the Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario and the World's Biggest Bookstore and art galleries in Yorkville.
Also, his family are taking us out to dinner at a fancy French restaurant on Tuesday night called Amuse-Bouche, which is part of a fundraising project called "Stop for Food" run by Cross Town Kitchens. There are 28 Toronto restaurants taking part in this project.
The Stop Community Food Centre strives to increase access to healthy food in a manner that maintains dignity, builds community and challenges inequality. The Stop recognizes that confronting hunger must go beyond handing out food to people struggling on low incomes. Through innovative food programs, their aim is to bring people together to break down social isolation and improve quality of life.
I thought this was a good project to support so I suggested it to my SIL but now hubby is stressed because he doesn't have anything fancy to wear; he's totally a blue jeans and t-shirt kind of guy but I told him just to wear his black jeans and his nice blue fleece shirt and he'll be fine.
So, I probably won't be on SP for Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday but I'll be back Thursday.
Have a good week, everyone.
She went to see an infectious disease specialist on Thursday and here is his theory:
A viral infection which traveled up her spine (through an old spinal injury) and turned into viral encephalitis which has since been resolved. The body's over-reactive immune response to the encephalitis causing the joint pain and other continuing symptoms. If this theory is true, it could take months for the condition to resolve, but it would likely eventually resolve itself on its own, unless it turns into (or already has turned into) an auto-immune disease (which viruses can also lead to).
He wants to read the rest of her medical history before he sees her again next Thursday.
My sister finally had her MRI on Saturday and got her results yesterday and she didn't have a stroke and doesn't have MS or a brain tumour! We still don't know what's wrong but it's nice to get the scary things out of the way. Now, they think she might have a virus of some sort so they're referred her to an infectious disease specialist and have started her on antibiotics as a precaution.
Thanks for everyone's support. It means a lot to me.
Still no diagnosis on my sister. Heart disease, atherosclerosis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis have been ruled out.
Her symptoms include:
- burning sensation on skin that comes and goes quickly
- tingly limbs (arms and legs)
- crickets in the head (she says it sounds like crickets in her head) - newest symptom
- she's had a headache for 8 weeks but a sinus infection has been ruled out
- vision problems in one eye (blurriness and//or blindness)
- dizziness
- extreme tiredness
- joint pain
She now thinks it's unlikely she had a stroke and believes it to be a virus of some sort or a disease like MS. She believes she's going to have to diagnose herself the way she did when she first had endometriosis. Everyone she sees says she looks good and so she thinks that the doctors office saw this too and doesn't think she's as urgent as they once thought.
When she was at the doctor's on Tuesday, she was a #2 on the waiting list for an MRI but apparently she's been bumped to a #4. He's also supposed to be referring her to an infectious disease doctor but so far no appointment.
She's feeling very frustrated and stressed the longer this goes on as we all are. If any of my medical friends here on SP has any idea what this could possibly be, I'd be more than happy to know.
So, my sister isn't doing great and she's quite stressed because she's worried about herself and she's almost convinced herself that she has MS even though there has been no medical proof of this but she's been researching her symptoms (tingly and achy limbs and vision troubles) on the internet and this is what she's come up with.
She had an appointment with a neurologist last Friday who scared the hell out of her by telling her unequivocally that she'd had a stroke (not a TIA/minor stroke) as the doctors at the hospital told her but a stroke and that the stroke had been in the right brain stem, resulting in a temporary minor loss of sensory ability in her right side.
He speculates that she has a hole in her heart wall between the heart and the lungs, through which a clot has gone to the brain stem causing a temporary blockage. We all have such a hole at birth but in a minority of people it doesn�t close up. Monika was born a month prematurely. He took five vials of blood for tests. His manner through most of the interview was brusque and cold. He gave her hell for driving the car, to which she replied that no one had told her not to. He said he was supposed to report her to the Ministry of Transport so that she�d be barred from driving for a year, but he wasn�t going to. Towards the end of the interview, when he asked her her occupation and she answered that she is a tenured professor at the University of Western Ontario, he began to treat her as an intelligent human being, and actually discussed a few things with her. He ended by requisitioning a test to see if the hole in the heart wall hypothesis is right. He gave the opinion that she is at high risk for another stroke and that she is to reduce all pressures in any way possible while waiting for laboratory results and further advice.
He also confirmed the preliminary diagnosis that she does not have atherosclerosis or cardiovascular disease. Her arteries are clear, her cholesterol is fine, and so is her blood pressure. She exercises regularly, does yoga, and along with her family eats a vegetarian diet. There is lots of stress in her life: the responsibilities of a wife and the mother of two daughters; a full-time professorship at Western, including substantial teaching, publication, conferences, and endless committee responsibilities; the work of a publishing poet who is serious about her writing.
The neurologist did see the possibility, when Monika raised it, based on her reading and web searches, of an autoimmune disease (she has had endometriosis for years) or of lyme disease; also of a bacteria or a virus. This last would probably be the most palatable of all these possibilities.
So she tries to take it easy at home, does some quiet marking of student papers, and talks with family and friends, while waiting for some light on her situation. My dad gave her money for taxis since the logistics of her family�s vehicular movements are complex even in good times. They live out in the country, they work in the city, Anna (16 this month) goes to high school in London and is driven there daily by her father or mother, Natasha (12) goes by bus to an elementary school 10 k from home, and both girls have a bunch of lessons and other things they get driven to. Monika has agreed to call taxis even when the cost seems exorbitant.
And, I'm worried about her home life, too. She called me a week ago Thursday in tears because her husband won't leave her alone. He follows her around the house constantly asking her if she's okay. She told me that she screamed at him to leave her alone because he ignored her. When she was talking to me on the phone, she had locked herself in the bedroom and while we were talking, he was jimmying the lock.
I sent him an email asking him not to stress her out like this but he told her about my email and she asked me to cease stressing "him" out because in turn, it stresses her out and she loves him very much and says that he's just like this because he's worried about her.
So I sent him an apology email saying that it's my concern for her that made me send the original email but I'm still ticked at him. I'm thinking that her "screaming" at him to leave her alone isn't very stress-free...
So, I going to see her tomorrow (it's about an 1� hours away). I'm determined to keep our visit light hearted and not stressful. I'm bringing homemade minestrone soup for lunch and I bought her two humourous books (Nora Ephron's "I Feel Bad About My Neck" and Rick Mercer's "Rick Mercer Report: The Book"), both of which I hope she'll like. Although after I bought them, I started worrying that maybe books weren't a great present if she's having vision problems.
I also bought her a small teddy bear with an "I Love You" heart on it. I'm also giving her this really nice bath set that I got for Christmas that I can't use because I'm sensitive to perfumed stuff but I know she loves that kind of stuff.
And, I went to the dollar store in hopes of finding something goofy to wear so that I could amuse her right off the bat when I got there. I was thinking something like a red nose or heart-shaped antlers or something like that but they didn't have anything like that so I ended up buying 5 flowered leis instead (one for me and one for each member of her family) to wear.
And, I hope that our visit goes well and I really, really hope she is going to be okay because I love her a lot and I would give anything to have this be happening to me instead of her. At least if it was happening to me, it would be more understandable since I'm overweight and don't eat properly all the time and smoked for 13 years!

The game of football, even in high school, is won in the trenches.
Mingus Union High School head football coach Bob Young has long understood this truth.
"To me, it all comes down to our offensive and defensive lines," he said. "We've been down about the last five years, but the 20 years before that we've had some great offensive lines," he said.
While the Marauders' defensive line will need to rely more on its speed to help reverse last fall's 0-3 start, Young believes that his current group of linemen could return the Marauders to those glorious days of yesteryear beginning Friday, Aug. 29, at Snowflake High School.
"This is one of our bigger offensive lines," Young said. "They're a combination of physical and smart."
Although three of the starters up front — senior center Cordell McKeever, junior Stefeno Dalu and sophomore Jordan Vincent — each weigh 230 pounds, the Marauders will need to avoid any more slow starts like the one they suffered during a scrimmage Thursday, Aug. 21, at Avondale Agua Fria High School.
"They scored two touchdowns the first 10 plays, then they didn't score again," Young said. "Our offense had four touchdowns, so we improved as we went along, but we can't come out that slow against Snowflake."

An excellent, comfortable shoe at a reasonable price. I've bought variations of this shoe from Merrell for several years now. I'm very satisfied with them, and will be coming back.
Thank you for the great feedback and being a loyal fan!
Sized as Expected
Daily -- walking and commuting by bike to work.
Excellent shoes! For the first time in many years I have virtually no foot pain. I never knew that shoes could be so comfortable. I recommend the Merrell shoes to everyone that I talk to.
Sized as Expected
I got these shoes for everyday casual wear. I have had Merrells before. And so I pretty much knew what I was getting. A very well built shoe that does what it says. I took the insole out, they are pretty thin in all shoes and boots no matter who the maker is, and I replaced it with Downunders (http://www.downunders.us/) which I do to all my hiking boots, cowboy boots, and shoes. I still put Superfeet in my ski Boots because they have a shape edge which fits into my ski boots prefectly. But a sharp edge (on a footbed) cuts through the leather of my boots over time. I found that out the hard way years ago. Downunders have rounded edges and they are prefect fits for all my leather boots and shoes. The footbeds that come with shoes and boots are always too thin. With superfoot and Downunders....you dont even think about your feet all day.....on the trail....on the sidewalk.....or on the ski slopes. Anyways......with my Merrell Jungle Mocs, and Downunders footbeds, I am set for just about anything that Oregon can throw at me day in and day out. Merrell is what I wear....in Portland Oregon.
Sized as Expected
everyday causal wear
Excellent shoe; great style....perfect for both indoor and outdoor wear.
Smaller than Expected
casual wear
These are just the greatest shoe for everything. No break in period. I buy men's size for the wide width and get a perfect fit. The waterproof feature makes them a good winter shoe. They have good arch support so I can walk all day in them. I hardly wear any other shoe.

6 Comments
Well, Dolly's always innocent unless proven guilty in my book. Case closed!
What about Rodney Crowell's Diamonds & Dirt quintet? Those are:
1. It's Such A Small World-with Rosanne Cash-1988
2. I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried-1988
3. She's Crazy For Leavin'-1989
4. After All This Time-1989
5. Above And Beyond-1989
Lip-syncing equates into older Hollywood divas still trying to look young. Fans know that their artist is getting older, but they still want to hear them, even if the voice isn't what it used to be.
Unfortunately even younger artists lip-sync which is unforgiveable.
Don't know if ole Dolly did or not, but is so, sad.
watch the concert on you tube…she was clearly singing live.
Long live Dolly
And Crowell's achievement is noteworthy because those are the only #1's that he ever had. It's like he had mainstream acceptance for about a year or two and that's it.
I remember Crowell seemed to be everywhere doing "After All This Time–I think he did it with just his guitar while sitting alongside Johnny Carson.
I think they didn't mention Crowell because they were only looking at the BDS era (1990 to present). Still, I think it's more impressive than Paisley's achievement since Paisley's 5th #1 was from a re-release of the album only.

What more could you ask for?
Editor's Note: This column is part of a two-part debate surrounding the 2013 UB football season. To see the counterpoint argument, look for the Related Articles tab below.
For those who wanted more from this year's football team, it's time to take a step back and look at UB football history.
What happened in 2013 was unprecedented.
Sophomore quarterback Joe Licata's 233 completions in a single season rank third in program history. Both his 2,824 yards and 132.7 quarterback rating also rank third. Licata threw for the sixth-best completion percentage in school history (58 percent) and is only the second quarterback to throw for more than 20 touchdowns (24). Only 2008 Mid-American Conference Championship quarterback Drew Willy and Chad Salisbury in 1997 have had seasons at UB comparable to the one Licata just completed.
Senior running back Branden Oliver embodied the term "workhorse." His 310 carries and 1,535 rushing yards are the best in program history and his seven 100-yard games rank second only to himself. His 15 rushing touchdowns also rank second in single-season history.
Senior wide receiver Alex Neutz silenced anyone who thought of him as a one-year-wonder after his breakout junior season. Despite facing constant double teams, Neutz had only four fewer receptions in 2013 than 2012. He amassed more yards (1,024) and touchdowns (12) than the previous year. His 1,024 yards mark the fourth-best season for a UB wideout and his 12 touchdown grabs rank second in a season.
Senior linebacker Khalil Mack's accolades go beyond the UB record book. Mack set the all-time NCAA career record for forced fumbles (16) and tied the record for tackles for loss (75) in this historic season.
Most impressively, all these stats are from 100 years of UB football, not only the 15 seasons of its D-1 history.
Even the oft-criticized head coach Jeff Quinn deserves his share of the credit for the season: Buffalo's eight wins tie a UB Division I record.
Let's not forget that we're in Buffalo: a city where winning is rare for every team at every level of competition. This is not an athletic program rich with history like places such as Notre Dame, Alabama or even Syracuse.
This was not "supposed" to happen.
Even we at The Spectrum picked this squad to go 6-6 and play in a bowl game. I remember sitting around a table, wavering between six and seven wins. Nobody said the number eight. Nobody expected a MAC Championship game appearance. We knew it was possible, but it was too far out there to predict. The Bulls had to prove it on the field.
Then, all of a sudden, winning eight games, appearing in a bowl and falling one win shy of a MAC title appearance felt like a poor season.
There are arguments - many of which I agree with - that this team didn't go further because of the coaching. I agree that Quinn is not a very good coach. But coaches must be factored in with expectations.
For example, if the Knicks fired Mike Woodson and replaced him with Phil Jackson, the expectations rise. With that, so does the definition of success. Having Quinn as the coach diminishes my expectations for UB football. Therefore, championships are far from my mind, and an eight-win season is phenomenal.
There are 124 Division I teams in the NCAA. These teams fight all season for one of 70 bowl berths. This season, 79 schools were "bowl eligible" - meaning they recorded at least six regular-season wins.
The Bulls' eight wins left them as one of the lucky 70 teams to receive a postseason invitation. It was the first time since the 2008 season and just the second time ever for the Bulls.
Still, some have said, "this team beat nobody." It is true the teams Buffalo defeated had a combined 23-73 record, including 11-38 in the MAC. It is also true its losses came to teams with a combined record of 48-18, including a 12-4 MAC record.
But let's face it: before this season, we were nobody.
Buffalo had six total conference wins in the past three seasons. Excluding Massachusetts, which is only in its second season in the MAC, Buffalo's record from 2010-12 was worse than every school it defeated this season. Eastern Michigan has seven wins over this time and Western Michigan, Kent State, Ohio and Miami Ohio all have double-digit conference victories.
For the first time ever, college football fans could watch Buffalo football often this season. The Bulls' final five games were all on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU and they opened the season stealing viewers from Johnny Manziel as the Bulls put a minor scare into national powerhouse Ohio State.
The community showed interest and support in the Bulls as well, attending games in record numbers. UB Stadium seated over 110,000 people in its five games in Amherst, giving Buffalo the highest home attendance numbers in the MAC.
Now what does this say for the future? Who knows? Most of Buffalo's record setters were seniors, meaning their college careers are over.
But this season was not about the future. What happened this season deserves to be celebrated and remembered. It took five years for this program to return to a bowl game. It may be five years before it plays in another. Or one, or 10.
Was this its best chance for a title in years? Yes, but who's to say it was its only chance?
Regardless of the final two losses, 2013 put Buffalo, UB, the State University of New York at Buffalo or however else you wish to refer to this football team on people's minds.
You heard about the Bulls on ESPN. You read about them on blogs. You and the rest of the country read "Buffalo Bulls" when you picked winners in your office "Bowl Mania" tournaments.
Buffalo will remain in the spotlight when ESPN discuses Khalil Mack's NFL draft stock and future as a potential top-10 pick.
That's what people should take away from this season: Buffalo's return to relevance. Celebrate what it was, and don't waste time considering what it wasn't.

Clal makes the gifts of Jewish tradition accessible tools for spiritual growth and development.
From The Miami Herald review: "New Theatre's The Gospel According to Jerry is a two-hander, that theatrical form in which a disparate pair talks, clashes and bonds over the course of the play. This one has two authors as well: playwright-screenwriter Richard Krevolin and Rabbi Irwin Kula.
The tender-hearted piece at the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center certainly follows the two-hander form, but the production isn't formulaic — it's lovely."
Everyone has their favorite recipes for making the Thanksgiving feast last for days after the holiday meal. But Rabbi Brad Hirschfield, president of Clal and co-founder and executive editor of TheWisdomDaily.com, has some tips for stretching the leftover expressions of gratitude into our everyday lives.
From Odyssey Networks' FAITH ON THE RECORD
In this book, the companion volume to Kernel to Canon series, Clal Resident and Bible Criticism Scholar Tzemah Yoreh, Ph.D. tells J's version of how Moses was chosen, how he rescued Israel from the Egyptians and how he led the Israelites to the Promised Land. It presents the story as the Bible once told it, just E's original story with J's additions, without embellishments or commentary. It is J: The Book of Mercy.
This week four men, including three rabbis, were killed as they prayed in a bloody attack at the Kehilat Bnei Torah synagogue in Jerusalem. It is the latest act in a part of the world plagued by religious violence. "As horrible as these events are," says Rabbi Brad Hirschfield, president of Clal and co-founder and executive editor of TheWisdomDaily.com, "the best response never comes from a place of despondency, desperation, depression fear or anger."
From Odyssey Networks' FAITH ON THE RECORD
""Wear red lipstick when you meet with him," warned a grad student. I only vaguely understood what she meant. The man in question was a revered academic scholar. His taking time to meet with a lowly undergraduate was an honor. His advanced years and disheveled fashion clouded my naïve ability to see him as a sexual predator. But after he began calling me sweetheart, asking me to sit up in the front row during class, and putting his hands on my thighs under the table, the meaning of her warning became crystal clear.
"Pope Francis has engaged and inspired millions of non-Catholics, former Catholics and alienated Catholics since assuming his position as global leader of the Catholic Church. He is both a spiritual master and global celebrity, so yes, the world is now filled with FOPs - Fans Of the Pope. Only now, some of them may be reconsidering their views, though I am not sure that that is fair, at least not to Pope Francis..."
"In this talk I gave at BIF10 in September, I focus on religion from the most practical and, as it turns out, most innovative perspective: how well do our religions serve our deep human needs? What if religions were actually measured by their ability to impact our capacity for gratitude, hope, empathy and our sense of belonging?
"A couple of years ago I received a call from a long-time congregant, Steve (I've changed his name and other identifying details). He's very nice, not very involved in synagogue life at this point, though he might have been when his kids were in religious school, before I was the rabbi here. The particular role he takes on, year after year, is setting up for the break-the-fast after Yom Kippur. He enjoys it, and it's important to him. A few years ago his wife died, too young. I did her funeral..."
In this book, Clal Resident Bible Criticism Scholar Tzemah Yoreh, Ph.D. writes that in J's version of the Genesis account the world wasn't created in seven days, it was already there. God was not an aloof deity whose mere words could create worlds, but an insecure and entirely immanent being.
"Last week's announcement by Jerry Seinfeld that he is "probably on the autism spectrum" has been met with mixed emotions by those of us who are connected to the autism community...."

text: Somehow the point is being missed. Seating numbers, price, how good the food is, is not the issue with Russo Seafood Restaurant. Mr. Russo and his representatives on more than one occasion came before MPC, and City Council saying that he was going to be a take out restaurant. The plans he submitted for permits showed a take out restaurant, no table were shown on any plans. He agreed under the provision 3031 of the city code to be only a take out restaurant. Being a sit down restaurant changes all of the requirements that he has to meet. This provision is and has been used all over the city to assurance protections to neighborhood and business alike. If this is not upheld then every part of the city will be affected. This also affects every one of the elected official Russo gave his word and his attorney gave his word that they would act according to the stimulation of the agreement. And they in turn gave the community their word that it would be upheld. If somehow this is allowed then the creditability of all zoning and decision hand down by city council are in question.
