Roger Richard Hodgman, 22, Little Falls, was charged with one felony count of third degree assault of a person under 4 years old, one felony count of domestic assault by strangulation and one gross misdemeanor count of interfering with a 911 call by Morrison County Attorney Brian Middendorf and his staff.
On March 8, Little Falls police responded to a report of a domestic assault. A witness said he observed a man dragging a woman into a residence by her hair.
When officers arrived, Hodgman answered the door, shirtless, and they allegedly saw scrapes and blood on his hands and chest. Hodgman admitted being in an argument with his girlfriend, but denied any physical altercation and told the officers she had left.
The victim later went to the Little Falls Police Department to report the assault by Hodgman. She told officers she and her 2-year-old son stayed at Hodgman's residence the prior evening and that in the morning they had argued. When she was taking her belongings out to her car, she told the officers Hodgman grabbed her by the hair, pulled her inside and threw her on the couch.
When she tried to call 911, Hodgman allegedly grabbed her phone and threw it against the wall. He choked her several times, then dragged her downstairs by her hair while she was holding her son. She told police she couldn't breathe for at least 10 seconds and thought she was going to die in front of her son.
According to the criminal complaint, when Hodgman dragged the victim downstairs, he then punched her in the stomach. She was eventually able to grab her son and run out the door, leaving behind her cell phone, glasses and shoes.
The officers observed a bump on the son's forehead, which the victim said resulted from Hodgman pushing him.
When officers returned to Hodgman's home, he denied the assault. He was placed under arrest.
If convicted, Hodgman faces a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment and/or a $10,000 fine.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/5/2012 (1912 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Two Winnipeg children kept confined in a Mexican home surrounded by security cameras and barbed wire have been reunited with their mother in Canada.
Missing for close to four years after being abducted, Dominic and Abby Maryk, now 11 and 9, were found Friday in Mexico after neighbours reported suspicions to authorities there.
The children are now back in Canada with their mother, Emily Cablek, said police today. The family is asking for privacy, said officials.
Two men have been arrested, including their father, Kevin Maryk, but investigators are still seeking a third suspect wanted in connection with the abduction of the children, who were abducted in 2008.
Christy Dzikowicz, of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, said the children recognized their mother. They seemed to be in decent physical condition, she said at a press conference hosted by the Winnipeg Police Service.
Dzikowicz read a statement on behalf of Emily Cablek, the children's mother.
"I cannot put into words how grateful I am for the wonderful support I received from the community over the past three years," Cablek said in the statement.
"I want to thank the Winnipeg Police Missing Persons Unit for their amazing persistence, and to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection for standing by me and guiding me through the worst 45 months of my life.
"You all helped me stay strong for the most important moment of my life, for that, you will always be in my heart, and a part of my family. I am the happiest Mummy (sic) in the world right now, and am asking please, give my family some privacy, so that we can begin to heal.
"We have a long road ahead, and I want my children to feel completely safe through all of it, they deserve nothing less."
Children 'resilient,' doing well
Dzikowicz described the children as "really quite resilient" and said they were doing "very, very well."
"They absolutely, 100 per cent recognized their mother, have many memories," she said. "Dominic's looking forward to (a) Slurpee"
The children were essentially confined for years without communication with the outside world, she said. Investigators believe they didn't go to school or receive medical attention.
"As we see in many parental abductions, particularly ones of this duration, there's been much damage done and alienation. However...in the last 12 to 18 hours, there has been such a remarkable shift, that it's beginning to feel a bit more like the happy reunification you would dream of, or hope for.
"That being said, we're not naive, there's a lot of work to be done but they are content at this moment, they are content with their mother, and we have every expectation that there's where they'll remain."
Police said the tip came after the children had been moved five times, including to Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara, said Winnipeg police Det. Sgt. Shaunna Neufeld, with the missing persons unit.
Neufeld, a mother of three children, called the arrests the result of "a little bit of luck, a lot of persistence."
"As a mom of three kids, I can't imagine a week without my kids, let alone three and a half, almost four years," she said.
Abduction, conspiracy charges expected
Witnesses allege the siblings spent their days inside a home surrounded by security cameras and barbed wire.
Inside, four attack dogs kept watch over a cache of weapons, drugs and child pornography police allegedly found at the house. Dog feces and litter were strewn on the floor, and the only time neighbours said they saw Dominic and Abby leave the building was after 6 p.m. to accompany men who did not return until the early hours of the morning.
Police arrested the children's father Kevin Maryk on scene, as well as his friend Robert Neil Groen. Groen and Maryk were friends in Canada, before they met up in Mexico and lived together for an extended period of time.
Both men are in custody in Mexico. Mexican authorities are investigating whether the men have links to drug cartels.
Winnipeg police said Maryk will be charged with abduction in contravention of a court order, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. Groen will be charged with conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
The third suspect police are seeking, Cody McKay, has family in Winnipeg but police said they haven't been in touch with him.
Groen is expected to be extradited to Canada within weeks, and Maryk within the next months, said Winnipeg Police Insp. Gord Perrier with the missing persons unit.
"Those are the parameters that Mexico's provided us," said Perrier. "There's a lot of processes even within Mexico that need to occur before extradition takes place."
Perrier said authorities "were certain" that the children were in Mexico for a long, and knew they had moved at least five times.
"We were very close a number of times to apprehending Mr. Maryk and the children. But like I said, when you're thousands of kilometers away, these are difficult things to coordinate.
"Mexico's a big country with a lot of people and a lot of places to hide."
Children went missing after vacation
Dominic and Abby were seven and five, respectively, when they went missing from Winnipeg in August 2008 after their biological father took them on a vacation.
Maryk and the children's mother were involved in a lengthy custody dispute over the children before their disappearance. A court ruled Cablek had primary care of the children and their father had visitation rights.
In September 2011, Cablek told reporters she remembered not wanting to leave her children with Maryk due to a "bad feeling" she had.
"It was their first long visit in the summer with their father," she said. "I didn't want my kids to go, and so I cried. And Dominic and Abby didn't want me crying... Dominic said, 'Don't worry, Mommy, everything will be OK.' So the last thing I got was hugs and kisses, and they walked through the door, and that's it."
Maryk was last seen at a car-rental agency on King Edward Street. When he didn't return, police issued a Canada-wide warrant for him and his nephew, Cody McKay. Groen, Maryk's former neighbour, was also accused of helping with the alleged abduction.
Cablek worked with city police and the Canadian Centre for Child Protection to publicize photos of the siblings and keep public attention focused on the case. The search finally ended Friday afternoon when police raided the Zapopan home and arrested Maryk and Groen.
'The power of social media'
Police officials said they began providing video to Mexican media outlets in the past months after getting "specific information" linking Maryk and the children to two specific areas. One of those videos was dubbed into Spanish, said police.
"We were targeting local media, factories, trucking companies... and distributing these videos, along with photos," said Perrier.
"So we were very tactical in the communication we were bringing to those areas in Mexico, hoping that this type of tip would come forward, and it did."
"We know that social media, the power of social media, the power of YouTube, in countries like Mexico is really what we needed to bring that to the ground level," he added.
A Mexican missing-person agency said a Zapopan resident tipped off authorities. FIND Foundation president Juan Manuel Estrada Juárez said he contacted Interpol and Mexico's federal police after a U.S.-based private investigator got information about the case.
Louisiana-based private investigator Wilhelm Von Mayer told Juárez a resident recognized the children from recent news reports.
Von Mayer said municipal police in Guadalajara and the army ignored the resident's calls to intervene. He said the tipster worried there was a small window of time as he knew the lease on the Zapopan home was set to expire in July, and the men could relocate.
The tipster is scared to speak publicly, Von Mayer said, as he fears possible retribution from local drug cartels.
"The kids were living a nightmare," Juárez told the Free Press through a translator.

NEW YORK — Shoppers are showing signs of pulling back on spending on discretionary items like clothing and home goods as gasoline and groceries eat up more of their paychecks.
Those pressures led many retailers on Thursday to report only modest revenue increases in May, the latest sign of the economy hitting a soft patch.
Retailers that cater to wealthy shoppers and warehouse clubs like Costco that also sell gas reported the biggest gains.
Midpriced department stores such as Dillard's, JCPenney and Kohl's all missed expectations.
Revenue rose 5.4 percent overall at stores open at least a year among 27 retailers, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. Excluding gasoline, revenue rose 3.7 percent.
That was within the 3 percent to 4 percent range expected, said Mike Niemira, ICSC chief economist and director of research.
"On the surface, the numbers look pretty good," Niemira said. "But it is being driven by a very narrow set of retailers."
The figures are based on revenue from stores open at least one year, a key indicator of a retailer's health because it excludes results from stores opened or closed during the year.
Niemira expects the June revenue figure to rise 3 to 4 percent, excluding fuel.
In other economic reports released Thursday:
• Fewer people applied for unemployment benefits last week, but applications remain stuck at a level that signals weak job growth. The number of applications for unemployment benefits dropped by 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 422,000, the Labor Department said. It was the third drop in four weeks. But the declines follow much bigger increases in April.
• U.S. businesses cut back on their orders for heavy machinery, computers and autos in April, partly because the March earthquake in Japan has made components harder to come by. Orders to U.S. factories fell 1.2 percent in April and a measure that signals business investment dropped 2.3 percent, the Commerce Department reported.
• U.S. companies squeezed more work out of their staffs in the first three months of the year. But the gains are slowing, suggesting employers may need to hire more workers if they want to produce more goods and services. Worker productivity rose at an annual rate of 1.8 percent in the January-March quarter, the Labor Department said Thursday. That's a slight upward revision from the government's first estimate of 1.6 percent. But it is significantly lower than the 2.9 percent growth rate in the final three months of last year. Unit labor costs rose at a 0.7 percent rate, down from an initial estimate of 1 percent growth.

Quaker Valley hoping to get physical against KO
The members of Quaker Valley's football team should remember very well what happened the last time they played Keystone Oaks, coach John Tortorea said.
And if they don't, he's more than happy to remind them.
"At halftime, Keystone Oaks thought it was wise to come over to our sidelines and start taunting us," Tortorea said. "That's going to be our motivation this week. I know there's a new head coach (Matt Taylor) over there, but our kids don't forget. I'm not forgetting it."
Tortorea said he hopes the memory of being disrespected in that loss last September will provide some fire for a Quaker Valley team that's sorely in need of it following a loss last week to McGuffey in a Century Conference game.
The Highlanders (1-2, 1-2) outmuscled the Quakers' defense, as running back James Duchi piled up 236 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Three other McGuffey players also ran for touchdowns against the Quakers (1-2, 1-2), who dropped their second straight game at home.
"Right now, if you look at our film, if you throw the ball on us — I don't want to say you're crazy, but we're having trouble stopping the run," Tortorea said. "From here on out, I'm expecting teams to test us physically up front because we're just not getting it done right now."
He said physicality wasn't an issue in the team's two scrimmages or in its opening-day win over South Park, but it began to slip in a Week 2 loss to South Allegheny and went away altogether against McGuffey.
The Quakers right now are missing outside linebacker Tre'won Marshall, who went down with a sprained ankle early in the game against South Allegheny.
While Tortorea said he hoped to get some good news on Marshall's availability this week, he added that the problem goes deeper than his absence.
"(Physicality) is a big concern," he said. "I know we've got the kids who are capable of doing it — we don't have soft kids in any stretch of the imagination. We have tough kids playing football, it's just somebody needs to step up and make a play."
Tortorea said sophomore inside linebacker Aaron Cunningham and senior defensive lineman Rocco Brown have stepped up as leaders for the Quakers' defense, and he expects that to continue. But he said more players need to follow their example.
The defensive struggles overshadowed another strong offensive performance from senior quarterback Burke Moser, who threw for 162 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score, and Cunningham, who piled up 123 yards on just nine carries in his second straight 100-yard performance.
When Marshall, Quaker Valley's starting running back, returns from injury, Tortorea believes his team will have a formidable offensive attack. But he added the Quakers will also need to minimize mistakes, as a dropped pass and fumbled snap loomed large in the loss to McGuffey.
"The kids that we knew would carry us this year right now are basically carrying us," Tortorea said. "We've just got to clean up our act and quit turning the ball over."
On the defensive side, Tortorea said it wouldn't "be an easy practice for the Quaker Valley football team," as he planned toughness drills to help improve the team's physicality.
He also pledged to show the players the film of last year's loss to Keystone Oaks "over and over and over and over and over again" to provide the needed motivation for Friday night's game.
The Golden Eagles (0-3, 0-3) are struggling, coming off back-to-back shutouts, but Tortorea said they will still provide a good test for the Quakers' physicality.
"They're down a little bit, but they're always physical," he said. "If they smell the blood in the water, they're going to jump on you — so hopefully we won't give them anything to jump on."

"My future? I know things but I won't talk about Real Madrid"
Benítez said he thought that Xavi Hernández deserved to win the Ballon d'Or, and spoke about Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova, who received surgery on Friday to treat cancer.
Chelsea manager Rafa Benítez gave no secrets away about where his future lies but revealed he "knows things" about his destination as of next June.
In an interview with radio station 'Onda Cero', the Spaniard, whose contract with Chelsea runs out in June, was asked about what he would do come the end of the season, and if he would be interested in becoming Real Madrid coach.
"I know some things, but I'm not going to say anything about Real Madrid, because I don't think I should," said Benítez.
"I accepted the Chelsea offer because I believed it was a good option. I studied the market and thought about which teams I could coach, but when you are waiting for a top level team to hire you, someone has to be doing a very bad job in order for you to get a chance," he said.
Benítez also spoke about the Chelsea supporters' views on him, and insisted he does not notice Blues fans chanting against him at games.
"I sometimes don't hear the songs directed at me. I'm focussed on the game and I don't know what's going on in the stands, but I never said I would not coach a team like Chelsea," he said.
And he acknowledged that his compatriot Fernando Torres needs to produce better performances on the pitch.
"Fernando worked hard and is still working very hard. He can still improve and he knows it. We are making small adjustments in the squad and trying to motivate him. His number one priority should be attack and getting as close as possible to the area."
On Spanish football matters, Benítez said he thought that Xavi Hernández deserved to win the Ballon d'Or, and spoke about Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova, who received surgery on Friday to treat cancer.
"A person's health is the most important thing, and it's very sad news. I know him and he is very upset, but he is a strong character and a fighter and that's vital."

These days, Motley Crue's image as one of the more notorious metal hair bands requires a bit of smoke and mirrors.
On-stage, the smoke is very real, as the band still delivers the all-out spectacle you would expect, complete with big '80s-style hair, outlandish costumes, dramatic lighting, an ear-pounding wall of sound, and a quartet of sexed-up female singer-dancers in skimpy outfits.
"There's a great stage set and great songs and girls dancing and doing acrobatics," frontman Vince Neil says. "Every song has something spectacular with it. It's very visual. That's the way Motley Crue has always done it."
Off-stage, Motley Crue is doing things a bit differently now - the now-middle-aged band has had to put its hard-charging days behind it, according to Neil. Each member travels on his own bus, with drummer Tommy Lee and bassist Nikki Sixx even bringing along their kids on tour.
"Dude, you're talking about when you're somebody in their early 20s, being the first time on the road - every band goes out and goes crazy, because it's new and you've got money and you've never seen the world," Neil says about the band's reputation for excess. "We're in our 50s now - you do the math."
Motley Crue, which is wrapping up the U.S. portion of its North American tour in Atlantic City, has gotten a little road weary after touring non-stop the past few years.
"People think it's a (party), but you're working five days a week. It wears on you," Neil says.
Despite the rigors of touring, guitarist Mick Mars, who has suffered from a form of arthritis since he was a teenager, is more than holding his own, according to Neil.
"His health is his health," Neil says. "He deals with his disease, but he does a great job on stage. He gets out there and plays his heart out, and we all have fun.
"He's been doing this with his pain and his disease for a long time - it hasn't gotten any better, but it hasn't gotten any worse."
Even with the band's relative stability, the end is near for their more than four-decade run.
"We're planning on doing one more trip around the world - that will end around 2015 -and then call it a day, at least for Motley Crue," Neil says. "I'll continue touring with my band and performing."
It's been quite a ride for the Los Angeles-based band, which formed in 1981. Motley Crue was one of the most influential bands of its genre, moving some 25 million records in the U.S. and selling out arenas at home and abroad.
The band's top hits include "Shout at the Devil," "Smokin' in the Boys Room," "Girls, Girls, Girls," "Dr. Feelgood" and "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)."
But the music often proved a sideshow to Motley Crue's real-life antics, with members at various times having to deal with serious substance-abuse problems, brushes with the law, multiple marriages and divorces, and major spats with each other- both Neil and Lee exited the band for periods of time, before returning to the fold.
Having been through so much, individually and as a group, Motley Crue is now trying to enjoy whatever time it has left together.
"We've been doing this for 32 years now," Neil says.
"We split up for a short while, but I think bands that have been together for 32 years, a lot of them don't get back together. We're one of the rare ones, really. Things are great. We do what we do. We get out and have some fun and make some music."
Before Motley Crue hangs it up, there likely will be a farewell tour, some new music and possibly one last gift for fans: the much-delayed film version of the band's aptly titled 2001 memoir, "The Dirt."
Of the big-screen adaptation, Neil says, "I won't believe it until I actually see it. The thing has been going on and off for so many years. It should be cool.
"A lot of people are looking forward to seeing it. If it's anything like the book, it should be great."
Motley Crue's 2012 summer was sealed with Kiss
Motley Crue spent last summer on the road with another band with a similar reputation for being wild and crazy on stage and off - KISS.
The experience brought Motley Crue back to its early '80s origins, when it got a major break as the opener for KISS at the height of the latter band's popularity, according to lead singer Vince Neil.
"Our very first tour was opening for KISS in 1981," Neil recalls. "We've been friends with them ever since. It was great to be back hanging out with the guys."
For Motley Crue, which over the years has toured with veteran rock acts like Aerosmith and AC/DC, such packages offer a chance to reconnect with peers whom you otherwise might not cross paths.
"The rock 'n' roll world is very small, so you know everybody," Neil says. "But you don't get to see them because everybody usually is on tour at the same time. It was really cool to see the KISS guys again and hang out."

Good morning! I spotted these this morning and they inspired me to post them here! You don't find these German pull down diagrams very often anymore - there are loads of reproductions out there but they tend to reproduce only the most well known designs - you've probably seen the buttercup example lots of times. I love the blue background on these! These are from Berlinner Strasse and cost about $220 each - they're huge and original! Really stunning, don't you think?

It is alleged those payments were made via a Monaco bank account in relation to Redknapp's employment when he was Portsmouth manager, evading tax and national insurance contributions due between April 1 2002 and Nov 28 2007.
Redknapp, 62, attended Bishopsgate police station to be charged on two counts of cheating the public revenue and will appear at the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on Feb 11.
In a statement, Redknapp's solicitor, Ian Burton, said the charges related to a disputed tax bill of about £40,000. "Harry has co-operated fully with investigators during the course of this inquiry and is confident of a successful outcome to these court proceedings," he said.
Tottenham said that the charges did not affect Redknapp's position as manager and they regarded it as a private, non-football matter which predated his arrival at the club. Redknapp has previously described the action against him as "farcical" and regularly protested his innocence since being first arrested in November 2007.
"This is not a football related matter so I have no intention of letting it distract me at all from what I am doing and intend to do at the club," Redknapp said. "This all dates back to 2002. It has been going on far too long.
"It is farcical. I have issued a statement. I know I have done nothing wrong."
Mandaric, who is now the Leicester City chairman, has been jointly charged with Redknapp for the same offences and will also appear in court on Feb 11.
Mandaric said: "I have done nothing wrong and independent tax experts have already confirmed that, in their opinion, there is no tax liability. I am innocent of this allegation."
A statement from the Crown Prosecution Service at Revenue and Customs said: "The CPS Revenue and Customs Division decided there was sufficient evidence and it was in the public interest to charge Mr Redknapp."
As a common law offence, there is technically no maximum sentence for the charge.
Peter Storrie, the Portsmouth chief executive, was also charged with tax evasion last November as part of the same investigation, although in relation to a separate matter.
It is alleged that Storrie arranged for a signing-on fee for Amdy Faye to be paid via the bank account of the agent Willie McKay. According to the CPS, the payment was made "in order to conceal its true nature and purpose and thereby evade the payment of Schedule E tax and national insurance contributions by the club".
The charge against Storrie, therefore, relates to the club's accounts rather than any accusation of personal gain. McKay and Faye, who have always denied any wrongdoing, have both already been cleared by the investigation and there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on their part.
Storrie has vehemently denied the allegation and outlined his "astonishment" at the charge.

THE first ever Us Girls Rocks Festival which took place on Sunday at Leigh Sports Village has been hailed as a huge success by organisers.
The event, which featured a wide range of free sporting activities along with an FA Girls' Football Festival, was aimed at encouraging young women aged 14 to 25 to get active and have fun.
Young women from across the north west were invited to take part in sports such as taekwondo, judo, handball, volleyball, table tennis and netball, plus dance and fitness, free beauty treatment and lifestyle advice.
Around 150 girls, most of them taking part in sport for the first time, participated in the FA's Girls' Football Festival led by FA coaches.
They were accompanied by Team GB, England and Lincoln Ladies football star Jess Clarke who gave the girls an insight into the life of a semi-professional female footballer.
The event which was run by StreetGames and Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust's Sports Development Unit, had a fun and friendly atmosphere with music, prize giveaways, free beauty treatments, hair styling and health checks.
Team GB Olympian and new Us Girls Champion Sophie Cox held judo taster sessions and answered questions about her sport and career.
Helen Crowley from Us Girls said: "It was an amazing day and the turnout was fantastic. I saw a lot of young women playing sport with big smiles on their faces, which is exactly what Us Girls is about."

Client (sole director of limited company) has dispensation for the company from HMRC which covers:
- Subsistence (including meals when undertaking business travel, supported by receipts) and
- HMRC Benchmark Scale Rates for Day Subsistence (£5 for one meal, 5 hours away; £10 for two meals; 10 hours away etc)
My client frequently travels on business and is usually away from his home for around 8-10 hours, and will usually purchase lunch while he is at the temporary site.
Does the company need to decide whether to use one method of expense reimbursement or the other, or are both allowed to be used depending on the cost in question? For example, if the client spent £3.50 on lunch it would be more tax efficient for him to claim the £5 scale rate allowance from the company. If his lunch cost over £5, it would be more tax efficient for him to claim the exact cost of the lunch from the business.
I cannot see any reference to this in the dispensation notice, but would appreciate clarification on this point.
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Scale rates and expenses
The benchmark rates are the amounts that can be claimed without having to complete a P11D. If the company reimburses more than the amount agreed on the dispensation, then it becomes reportable and the excess is chargeable to tax and NIC.
If the company is consistently reimbursing more on legitimate subsistence than the benchmark rate then the company should revisit the dispensation application and ask for a higher allowance for subsistence to be included.
If the director spends less than the benchmark rate, only the actual cost should be reimbursed.
In both cases the reimbursement should be supported by the receipt.
I also concur
You can either pay the benchmark rate (without receipts necessarily, but evidence of having incurred expenditure) or reimburse the actual expenditure (supported by receipts) on any given occasion. Obviously you only do actuals if the expenditure exceeds the benchmark rates.
Where I'd agree with Brightster is that if you're habitually incurring expenditure above the benchmark rates, it's possible to agree with HMRC a higher flat rate allowance (usually supported by a sampling exercise).
bench mark scheme
another question on this subject, what about VAT, can one claim any?

At times, it feels a bit pointless to write a review, specially when is for such a big title like Zelda: Skyward Sword. Still, as a Zelda fan, as part of such a huge game community and as an amateur reviewer, I just don't want to miss the opportunity to give you my thoughts. So, here goes nothing.
It should come to no surprise when I say that this is actually the "Origin Story" of The Legend of Zelda. If you're a Zelda fan like me, you probably jizzed at the thought of finding out how it all really started. The story really doesn't disappoint and it's nice the fact that there are still a few millennia of story before this game. In short, and trying not to spoil much, many many years ago there was a war between an evil force and the goddess Hylia. To protect the humans (?) from the evil that plagued the land, the Goddess tore a piece of the land and sent it skyward, thus creating Skyloft. Then, she made a barrier made of clouds that prevented anyone from reaching the surface. Link, our hero chosen by the goddess, is a student in the Skyloft Knight academy, and a really talented one it seems. Despite a few bullies, Link seems to have a fairly happy life in Skyloft, training to become a Knight with his childhood friend, Zelda. However, the day he is tested to reach the next level towards knighthood, a tragedy occurs and he must take his place as the chosen hero and ally himself with Fi, a spirit residing in the Sword of the Goddess.
Every character you find is different. Including (and not limited to) Zelda and Headmaster Gaepora (Zelda's Father), pretty much every character you find has a personality, and a hilarious one too. Team Zelda really managed to make you understand and actually care for each character you find.
There is virtually no voice acting in this game (Captain Obvious TTR), and I have to say there is absolutely no need for it. The amount of expressions the characters make when they talk actually make you feel like they are indeed speaking. There are a lot of emotions inside this game. There are hilarious moments but there are also really sad moments. I actually found myself nearly dropping a tear or two on certain occasions. Now, I'm a crybaby, but I've never cried on a video-game, which makes this a hell of a breakthrough. I find it amazing how they managed to achieve this only with texts.
On the graphics part, a lot of people have ranted how they think the graphics look childish and not nearly as good as Twilight Princess. To all of those, I say: Have you actually SEEN this game? Cel-Shade (or as some call it Toon-Shade) is an amazing rendering technique that makes an image look like it was hand-drawn. It doesn't mean the graphics aren't pretty or detailed. Actually, I can positively say this is the most detailed Zelda game on a graphics perspective. Everything on this bastard says "I'm here because I'm meant to be, don't argue".
Returning to the sound of the game... This soundtrack has not nearly as many memorable pieces in it as it's predecessors. This is probably the second least impressive soundtrack of all games, the first being Twilight Princess, which was actually really mediocre. While most of the soundtrack doesn't live up to Zelda, there are a few masterpieces among it. Fi's Theme, Link and Zelda love theme (some are calling it "Love is an Adventure" but don't know if that's the real title) and The Ballad of The Goddess are among the best pieces I've heard in any game at all, not only Zelda. Plus, there is a really amazing version of the original Legend of Zelda Theme.
The world itself is incredible. You'll probably fall in love with Zelda and will have a blast whenever you can tease people with Link's choices of what he can say, but I DO have a complain on all of this. While most of the characters are fun and unique in their own way, Zelda's personality is a bit unimpressive. She is the typical Anime Girl you're supposed to fall in love and have fantasies about, kind of character. She's outgoing with a strong personality, funny and kinda flirty, like oh so many others. I know, I know, it's a formula and it has worked so far for japanese developers and I get it. But still, I think it's worth mentioning. It also brings me to another complain. Though I don't consider it to be a spoiler, since it's pretty obvious, I'll give you a *mild spoiler alert*, just in case, so skip to the next section if you don't care for this: Link and Zelda's relationship. Their relationship is that of 2 anime kids who like each other, both know it, and neither do anything about it. It's logic, since it's a game developed in Japan. However is very frustrating to watch how the game teases you about their relationship, but they never actually show you anything. It wouldn't kill to show me at least a hug or Zelda telling Link that she loves him, which obviously she does. *end of mild spoiler*
This game probably has the best gameplay in the whole series. The game starts off a bit slow, as you're introduced to the whole background story. After about an hour and a half (depending on how much you explore Skyloft) you'll be on your way to the main plot with at least an idea of what you have to do.
The world itself is a huge dungeon. unlike previous Zelda games, to get from point A to point B, you'll have to do a shitload of stuff. This, though it might sound scary to undying fans who love to explore the vast land of Hyrule, is actually very well done. So well done, in fact, that I wondered how it wasn't made before. Yes, you might miss exploring a little bit, as I did, and yes, you won't feel as tempted to return to previous areas just to be there and do nothing like before. Still, it makes the game immensely more fun and it will actually make you feel you're moving forward constantly. Link has stamina now, making him faster for a short period of time, and allowing you to perform spin attacks. If you run out of stamina, though, you'll be useless for at least 5-7 seconds, which could be vital to your survival. There are three major areas that you can access via Loftwing flight.
The puzzles are great and very well thought, though sometimes it feels like they're a bit too planned. It's ok that you need a certain Item or do a certain thing to move forward, but sometimes I felt a bit let down because I couldn't experiment with new ways to solve a puzzle. Everything seems so perfectly planned, that I just can't do anything but what I'm supposed to do with the Items I'm supposed to have in the moment I currently am. I have a problem with this, because it removes the sense of uncertainty. It's kinda like this. "How do you expect me to believe the world is in danger and I could actually fail in my mission, if EVERYTHING in the world is set for me to move forward in a perfectly planned specific way? How do I doubt my outcome if everything is so perfectly designed that there is only one way to do everything?" It becomes mechanical, like beating a boss in Contra, It's all part of the plan.
The battle system has been refined to become a 1:1 swordplay experience. Miyamoto said he wanted each and every enemy to be a puzzle in it's own way. This makes battling enemies more fun, but at times it makes it a pain. At first, when I fought Moblins, I would think stuff like "ugh... again? why are there so many of them? Damn it!" But as I started to find new ways of dispatching them more easily, it became more and more fun. The shield here is necessary. When I first played this game and wrote what I thought out of the 2-3 hours of gameplay, I said the shield controls were kinda odd and it was really hard to use it properly. I found that it was actually the nunchuck I was using, that was a bit defective. With my own nunchuck, the shield works like a charm, and is the most useful Item in battle too. This puts you in a tight spot, because if you don't time your blocks properly, your shield can break and as I said, It's absolutely necessary. Still, making a perfect block to avoid your shield taking damage is not at all hard, and as long as you're really careful with the attack pattern of the monster you're fighting, you should have no problem in using it to it's full potential.
Link's infinite bag of holding is back, but this time is not so infinite. You'll have two sets of Items you can carry. You'll have the B assigned Items, and you'll have the adventure pouch. The B assigned Items are your typical Dungeon Items. The bow and arrows, the clawshots, the bombs, and some new pretty amazing ones, like the beetle and the whip. The adventure pouch is more limited. Here, you'll be able to place up to 4 Items (you can rise that number up to for you to equip and use when you feel necessary. This makes the game a little bit more difficult, because you have to think what to put in it. If you should put an extra bomb bag, or an extra quiver, or how many bottles you want to carry with you, and even the shield takes up one space. You'll also be able to carry medals, which will help you in different ways, like making hearts or rupes appear more frequently, award you with a temporary extra heart, help you catch bugs, etc. but each will also take one space.
One thing I really liked about this game is that you'll need rupes, and LOT'S of them. There are several Items that can only be bought that will cost you over 1000 rupes. Unless you chose not to buy anything (which could be a big mistake considering the amazing stuff you can buy) you probably won't get to see your wallet full.
Mild RPG mechanics were added to the game. No, you won't be gaining any levels, but you can improve many Items you'll get with materials you loot from enemies. You can also buy potions and infuse them to make them stronger. Potions, I found to be pretty useless as I never actually needed any on my first play-through. I upgraded a heart potion to the max, in case I found myself overwhelmed but I never really used it. I did get overwhelmed, though, it happened once and it was near the end of the game. And honestly, the fairy I had in a bottle came much more useful, as I couldn't really stop to drink a potion to replenish hearts because I was running around trying to dodge attacks from 8 zombies and one 4-armed Stalfos trying to own me. There are other potions, like one that makes your stamina or oxygen drop a lot slower, or one that fixes your shield as long as you don't break it. That last one actually came really useful, specially at first. But once you master the perfect blocking, you won't need it anymore (at least on the first play-through).
This game rises the difficulty bar a bit higher. The fact that you have to be patient to beat most monsters can really get you killed or at least drop your heart count dangerously. Still, it doesn't raise the bar that high. At some point in the game you'll have access to some sort of boss rush, where you'll choose a boss you've defeated, to fight again. Then, you'll have the option to keep beating random bosses in order to get prizes. The more you beat in a row, the higher the prize. The thing is your heart count and shield state will be carried from one battle to another, and you'll have no access to any potions or items in your adventure pouch, except for your shield. This is the only spot when I actually died, and it was only because I couldn't count on the fairies I had packed for so long to save me.
Every boss battle is fun and memorable... except from the 3 imprisoned battles, which I HATED. Every temple boss is unique and is actually REALLY fun and challenging to beat.
Many people are calling this game, "The best Zelda Ever". Though I wouldn't go as far as to call it that, I can tell you it's the closest thing we've had to "The best Zelda Ever" since Ocarina of Time. It didn't make it to my personal favorite list, but it's still a pretty damn amazing game.
Sorry for making it so long, but I had so much to say about it, and I still skipped a few things to make it shorter.

Pensioner Marjorie Rawlings spoke of her shock after five police cars pulled up and arrested the men who were resurfacing her driveway.
Mrs Rawlins, 80, was one of a number of householders in Roundway Gardens, Devizes, to use DriveForce Paving Limited of Swindon to resurface her driveway with paving blocks.
Earlier last Thursday the company's employees had taken her to NatWest in Devizes to get the cash to pay for it.
Mrs Rawlings said: "I don't drive any more and it costs me £8 return to get a taxi so they very kindly took me to the bank. "The bill was £7,000 but the bank said they could only let me have £2,000 because they didn't keep that amount of cash on hand."
Mrs Rawlings' request had rung alarm bells at the bank and the cashier had rung the police who arrived with officers from Wiltshire Trading Standards.
Mrs Rawlings said: "They just swooped in and took them all away. I couldn't believe it. I thought the work would not get done but they came back the next morning and finished off. I am very happy with what they've done. It is such an improvement."
DriveForce boss William Connors was among the workers arrested. He said: "This was a shocking thing to have happened. "It not only stopped us working but has affected our reputation. I have contacted our solicitor about this.
"We were interrupted in our lawful work and kept in custody from 5pm to midnight. I think we are due an apology at least."
Trading standards officer John Devlin said that Mrs Rawlings' request for such a large quantity of cash and the fact that the workmen had taken her to the bank gave the signs of something untoward.
He said: "Certainly there was a company undertaking work on several drives in the street, but all the residents we talked to were quite happy with the standard of the work and the price they were charged.
"We are now satisfied there was no fraud involved."
The contractors were all arrested and taken to Melksham police station where they were interviewed. They were released without charge some hours later and police said that no further action would be taken.

What will rise from the ashes of Google Wave?
Google Wave was probably the most ambitious attempt we've seen to reshape traditional communication and collaboration tools. Google's history of "build it and they will come" product development made the search giant the perfect backer for what was always going to be a slow starter.
Unfortunately Wave came along as Google management underwent a major philosophical change and started scrapping under-performing services rather than giving them time to find their feet. Wave was never going to survive in such an environment, as it was too revolutionary a concept. People needed time to understand Wave, as I explained when it first launched, and to figure out where it fitted into their existing workflow. In the end I think Wave's lack of tight integration with existing communications tools was its downfall. I know that was the point of Wave, but the inconvenient truth is that people wanted a smoother transition from tools such as email.
Google ceased development on Wave after only 15 months and has now set an execution date - April 30, 2012. The service will convert to read-only in January in the lead up to its final demise.
Whatever rises to take Wave's place, you can be sure that it will be more tightly integrated with our digital lives rather than asking us to start anew.
It's no surprise that soon after Google Wave was shelved, Facebook poached co-developer Lars Rasmussen. Learning from Google's mistakes, Facebook's integration of email with the Facebook messaging platform acknowledges that email is still a necessary evil. Like it or not, a whole generation of businesses and consumers are fundamentally dependent on email. They're not going to go cold turkey - even if young people are embracing newer technologies - just as they haven't thrown away their telephones or abandoned the postal system.
Facebook perhaps hopes to gradually wean users off email and transition them across to Facebook's messaging system. Tight Skype integration will also help Facebook become a central communications point for many people. The difference compared to Google Wave is that Facebook is allowing users to make the transition at their own pace. This is the future of communications - a seamless "unified" inbox combining voice, video, text and collaboration tools from various sources to the point where the message is all-important but the delivery method is invisible and irrelevant.
Right now Facebook is the obvious favourite in the race to perfect the consumer-focused unified inbox. But other heavyweights such as Google, Microsoft and Apple also have their eye on the prize, jostling to be the internet's de facto identity manager and communications hub. Google has thrown its weight behind Google+, but the declining usage figures would suggest that it doesn't pose a significant threat to Facebook.
Who do you think can succeed where Google Wave failed?

What Is the Most Secure Job of 2009?
It's been another rocky year for unemployment rates, but there are a handful of careers that have been given a recession-proof tag and that is something to celebrate in naming the Best of 2009. These jobs have been holding their own amid a faltering economy, which makes them pretty secure given their relative strength in the weak job market. Which career do you think is the most solid?

CHIPPENHAM Town's Hardenhuish Park again played host to this season's Mid-Wilts Youth & Minor Football League Cup finals, AFC Corsham getting their hands on two trophies.
The finals got under way on Friday evening as Derry Hill United took on AFC Corsham Black in the U17/18 showpiece.
Hill started well playing with the slope and wind in their favour and went close several times.
But Corsham broke the deadlock with a fine strike from Nathan Baldwin before going on to finish 3-0 winners, Sam Rose and Jon Harding also on target.
The match was officiated by this season's best level five referee Philip Miles with assistants Nigel Fisher and Adam Osbourne.
Saturday's games kicked off with the Ron and Edna Sales (U15) League Cup final, with Rob Sales, the game's guest of honour, presented to the teams, AFC Corsham Jaguars and Holt FC.
The sides could not be separated at the end of normal and extra time, their goalless draw leading to a penalty shootout where the Jaguars held their nerve to win it 4-2.
Holt's Ciaran Taylor was chosen as man of the match, with the game refereed by Martin Chown with assistants Adam Pothcary and Tom Brazier.
The U11 final saw FC Calne Milan face Chippenham Town Youth, Milan making the most of the wet and windy conditions to take a 2-0 lead with goals from Rocco Diiorio and George Ford.
Chippenham had cancelled out the lead by half time but, in a see-saw second half, a fine shot from Callum Angell proved to be the winner for Calne, for whom Ewan Harnett was named man of the match.
The match was officiated by Joe Williamson and assistants David Green and David Mullins.
Saturdays final game was between Warminster Highbury and Amesbury Juniors for the U13s Jack Goodenough Memorial Trophy An end-to-end encounter saw Highbury prove the stronger on the day to take a 4-3 victory, with goals from Thomas Poolman, a James Porter double and Leroy Cooper.
Santosh Tamang, twice, and Brandon Kruger replied for Amesbury, with Tamang awarded the man of the match trophy.
The game was refereed by this season's best referee Niall Burtt, assisted by Oderico Rossi and Steven Brenchley.
Sunday's finals kicked off with the U16s Barry Curtis Memorial Trophy between Devizes Town Youth and Melksham Town Youth, with both teams presented to Terry Curtis and Pete Smart.
Devizes took the lead with a goal from George Taplin and wrapped up a 4-0 win after the break with two goals from Jamie Hall and a strike from captain James Perrett.
The game was refereed by Graham Wilkin, assisted by Daniel Wordley and Neil Hawker.
Castle Combe Colts Whites completed a league and cup double thanks to a 2-0 victory over Marshfield Juniors in the U10s Daniel Higgs Memorial Trophy final.
Tom Wallace finished off Toby Bridgeman-Daw's cross at the far post to give the newly-crowned Blue Division champions an interval lead and George White doubled their advantagein the second half.
White was named man of the match before captain Bradley Beck lifted the Daniel Higgs Memorial Trophy after a game was refereed by Jack House.
The U12s Ron Boucher Memorial Trophy saw Blue Division winners Warminster Highbury play runners up Devizes Town Youth.
Both sides created chances but Devizes made more of theirs to finish 5-2 winners, with goals from Daniel Butcher, Rafferty Stone, Logan Anning and two from man of the match Oscar Toropov-Shilling.
Adam Cook and Sam Wright replied for Highbury, with the game refereed by Chris Perrett, assisted by Philip Boore and Joe Williams.
The last final saw Bradford Town Youth and Bath Arsenal play for the U14s Tim Kerr Memorial Trophy.
Arsenal gave a slick team performance to go 7-0 in front but Bradford continued to push forward late and were rewarded with a poacher's goal from William Chantry, who went on to score a second.
Bath's goals came from Sam Whitson, Piran Gillow twice, Finlay Norris, Cameron Bond, Lucas Ojolo and one from man of the match Louis Mann.
The game was refereed by the best level six official, Leeford Baafi-Antwi, assisted by Alen Evans and Megan Fear.

Boot Lace Bar
The Boot Lace Bar is a unique way of combining Half Hitches with extra loops.
This decorative knot includes a
Square knot
, so be sure you know how to tie one.
The loops along the sides represent the grommets, and the light colored areas are the laces for the boots.
Paracord was used in the example shown. The tips of the cords need to be melted with a flame during preparation.
This knot design came from the
Fusion Knots
website. Click the image or link to visit.
The video gallery contains many unique combination knots as well as historical knots.
To practice, you need two cords, each at least 2 yards long. You should have one dark and one light cord, if possible.
When making a project with the Boot Lace Bar, determine the finished length you are aiming for and
multiply that by 12.
Cut the
light cord
(color B)
longer if you plan to make a button knot for a clasp.
Prepare the ends in some manner to prevent unraveling.
The loop at the top is optional, but you should make it when practicing since it's the best way to start the bar.
Cord A = Dark
Cord B = Light
Step 1:
Make a loop in the center of
Cord A
, crossing right over left.
Cord B
through the loop as shown, matching the centers.
Cord B
down, passing the
right half
over the
of the crossed area.
left half
should be in back of the cross.
Step 2:
Now you tie a
Half Knot
(first half of Square Knot).
Mentally label the two ends of
Cord A
where they are now (right and left).
Move the
end of
Cord A
Cord B, and
the left end of Cord A (right to left).
Move the left end
Cord B and
Cord A, as you pull it out on the right.
Step 2, continued:
Tighten the knot and adjust the size of the loop. You can remove it completely if you wish.
Arrange the two ends of
Cord B
so they are side-by-side.
Step 3:
Mentally number the cords 1 - 4.
Tie a Half Hitch with
cord 3,

direction, and pass the end through the Half Hitch.
The end needs to pass
the portion of
cord 1
coming from the top.
This is another view of the Half Hitch and the outer loop being made.
You pass the end into the Half Hitch from the top, and pull straight down.
Step 4:
Tightening the Boot Lace Bar is done in 3 steps:
reduce the
of the Half Hitch and the outer loop, by pulling on the ends.
Next, work the slack out of
cord 1
, in the area
the loop. That's the portion coming from the knot above.
(see next image)
Finally, pull the end of cord 1 and cord 3, until it's firmly tightened.
Step 5:
On the right, make a Half Hitch with
cord 2
around cords 3 and 4.
The loop is made
Make the outer loop with
cord 1
, rotating
Move the end through the Half Hitch, passing
the segment of
cord 1
coming from the top.
Step 6:
Tighten both loops firmly, as in
step 4
There should be no slack in the areas indicated (above the loops).
Repeat steps 3 and 4.
Repeat step 5.
Remember to pass the end
the segment coming from previous knot. When tightening, be sure to remove all the slack
the two sets of loops.
Step 7:
Repeat steps 3 - 5
several times, until the design is the size you want.
You need
at least 6 inches
of material for the final knot.
Here's a view of the Boot Lace Bar after the third set of loops are made.
The outer loops made by
cord A
are as close together as possible (both sides).
The areas made by
cord B
should be the same size.
Step 8:
Tie a
Square Knot
to finish the bar.
The direction depends on which side you stopped tying the loops:
Last knot on Left = Right Square Knot
Last knot on Right = Left SK.
Step 9:
Move the ends of
cord A
to the
and finish them off by sliding them under the knots. (Optional if just practicing)
When using Paracord or material that melts, you can cut the ends close to the Square Knot and melt the tips to fuse them.
The ends of
cord B
can be used to form a button knot for a clasp.
