Click here
to learn more about our QuickShip program.
At Upbeat, our professional customer service representatives are trained to find the most suitable and cost-effective method of shipping your order, as well as assist you with any other shipping needs. Merchandise is sold FOB factory via Upbeat's carriers. If you have a special shipping request, contact Customer Service at 800-325-3047. Unless otherwise stated, Upbeat will invoice you for shipping merchandise to your place of business anywhere in the contiguous (48) United States. Additional charges may apply for shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and other destinations outside of the 48 states. The shipping cost is pre-paid by Upbeat and included on your invoice. Upbeat continuously negotiates with our freight carriers to ensure you receive competitive rates, which are typically better than those rates available to most customers.
When shipping your order, our standard choice is to ship using FedEx Ground. Orders that are not heavy (typically under 150 lbs.) can ship via FedEx Ground. For heavier items, items with an unusual shape or size, or customer orders with large total weights, we will ship via a common carrier truck. To expedite delivery of your items, please include a physical street address, as we are not able to ship to a Post Office Box. For common carrier truck shipments, please be aware that the driver will bring the freight only to the back of the truck (known as tailgate delivery). You are responsible for offloading the merchandise delivered to you.
Special Shipping Services
At an additional charge, you may request special or expedited delivery services, such as airfreight, over-night, or second-day delivery. The common carrier truck companies also offer a variety of services like lift-gate delivery, or notification prior to delivery. Additional charges for these services may apply. If you need any other special services, contact our customer service representatives for assistance. In some cases, prepayment may be required. These special services include:
Lift Gate Service
(additional charge) is recommended for heavier or larger shipments, where no loading dock is available. The lift gate only lowers the merchandise to street level. You must then remove the shipment from the lift.
Notify Before Delivery
is recommended when you need the common carrier truck company to contact you 24 to 48 hours prior to delivery.
Damaged Shipments
All shipments are insured against damage in transit. If your shipment shows any sign of visual damage, it should be noted on the freight bill or receiving ticket and signed by the driver. If damage to the shipment is concealed (not visible until the carton is opened), please keep all of the packing materials and the original carton. In either case, please notify Upbeat immediately. If your order is damaged upon receipt, and you have noted the damage on your delivery receipt, we will either issue credit for the item and the shipping costs, or ship a replacement item at no cost for the item and shipping.

• If you do not meet the above criteria, no taxes will be charged and you will be responsible for any sales or use tax that may apply in your state.
How soon will I get my order?
Ship time will vary depending on the item you order and the time of year. Many of our items ship within 10 working days. We also have a list of "Quick Ship" items with shorter order times.
Do your prices include the freight cost?
No, freight costs are not included in the cost of our items. Shipping charges are calculated separately and appear as a separate line item on your order summary.
What if I have special shipping requirements?
Special request shipments such as airfreight, overnight, second day, inside delivery, telephone notification before delivery, and re-delivery can be arranged. In some cases, pre-payment may be required. Additional charges will apply.
What is "Quick Ship"?
"Quick Ship" items are Upbeat's items that ship in 7 business days or less. See individual items for details.
What is lift-gate delivery?
Lift-gate delivery is recommended for heavier or larger shipments, where no loading dock is available. Please note: the lift-gate only lowers the merchandise to street level. You must then remove the shipment from the lift. Additional charges will apply.
What is residential/limited access delivery?
Residential/limited access delivery is recommended for shipment to a home address, or to an apartment or other residence with limited shipping access.
What if I am periodically not available at my business and might miss a delivery?
Please ask us to notify you before delivery. By doing so, you may avoid additional delivery charges. By requesting "notify before delivery" the freight carrier will notify you approximately 24-48 hours prior to delivery.

Is a purchase order required?
No, Upbeat does not require a purchase order. However, if your business requires POs, Upbeat will gladly accept those orders.
Can my order be COD?
We don't offer cash on delivery (COD) shipments because of the additional charges that we would have to pass on to you. COD shipments often require a redelivery, which is an additional expense. We are pleased to offer "open account" status to almost all who ask and it takes very little time or effort to apply for open account status.
What are your payment terms?
Net 10 days.
NOTE: If your delinquent account is referred to an attorney for collection, reasonable attorney fees will be added to the amount due. Any charges for returned checks will be added to the amount due.

Alright someone has got to say this. GM The never claimed to melt a baby. From what I understand when he frist began learning MA, he was learning under a Sand Burn or whatever teacher. They would stick their hands into burning sand to toughen the skin and tissues. Another teacher from another sand burn school accidently picked up his grandson without thinking and BURNED the child severely enough to kill it. I highly doubt that he meant that the kid actually melted, probably just used the wrong word. His teacher stopped teaching and this is how he came to learn under Ie Chang Ming.
I'm sure this is just going to start a flame war.

Does SD actually originate from the Shaolin Temple? If so, since when did Grandmasters have children or even grandchildren. I thought they were supposed to be monks.

"Does SD actually originate from the Shaolin Temple?"
Chances are, hell no.
"accidently picked up his grandson without thinking and BURNED the child severely enough to kill it"
I'm guessing it would have to be 2nd-3rd degree burns to most of the body to kill it? So this guys hands were supposedly this hot and he forgot about it? Sounds like propaganda of the un-true kind.

I think The' said that it was his master who picked up the baby, and it actually melted the skin. It should be on the DVD you can buy here in Austin.[MMA] arguments do not exist, after all, for people to believe in them, rather they serve as a common, agreed-upon excuse. Foolish people who take them in earnest sooner or later discover inconsistencies in them, begin to protest and finish finally and infamously as heretics.

Good luck on your history thesis. I hated doing mine.
I went to a school of Shaolin=Do in Arizona and couldn't believe my eyes. the guy was cool but obviously misguided. the funny but sad thing was how he tried to believe it was true: "I've checked the katas in other systems, and they look the same." The explanation for the kung-fu-gi-wardrobe went something like this: "we use gis because they last longer." Although this could be a good reason, except for the diehard kung-fu person, other things did not.
The head instructor told me that they knew all the styles of kung-fu. repeat: aaaaaaaallllll the styyyyyyyyyyyyylleeeeeeessss of kung-fuuuuuu. I couldn't believe it. he showed me a notebook with a listing of styles and forms; for example, seven star praying mantis (all the forms), southern praying mantis (all the forms) and so on and so forth with practically every style of kung fu. I thought this is not good 'cause all you're gonna learn is forms and no applications. But according to the head instructor: "It looks like a lot of material, but it just takes time." Well, I thanked him and watched the rest of the class before I walked out... never to return.
Another thing was the mixing of movements. They were doing a tai chi form but at the end bowed like karate (double fisted hard salute at the hip when bowing).
My advice is that you find all the information possible, watch some classes and get the intro. to the style (like I did) at another location before visiting the school where kwan sin the will visit.
ask questions such as:
1. what styles do you know or teach? what's he gonna say? all of them?!
2. how is the curriculum divided?
3. why did you train with different instructors?
4. why do you wear gi? he might say the story about disguising kung fu as karate because it was illegal in some country (possibly where he grew up). then ask how was that supposed to fool the govt. of said country.
5. do you teach killing techniques? :icon_twis
overall, ask simple questions and then wait for his answer. Once you get him to talk, it'll be easy to discern problems and keep digging. You might even make up some story about him doing a supernatural feat and then ask him to see his reaction.
well, hope this helps

Walk into any grocery store and look at almost any product on the shelf and it will probably be labeled "an essential form of omega 3" or "omega 3 added". So, why has this omega 3 become so popular and what's it going to do for us?
Omega 3 is a blend of essential fatty acids that are extremely important to the way your body functions. Omega 3 is vital for the health of your brain and nervous system. It also has been proven to prevent certain diseases such as Heart disease and some cancers. And not only does omega 3 help to reduce some of the inflammation in the body; it is also extremely beneficial to the health of your skin, hair and nails.
If you are lacking Omega 3 in your diet you will probably notice symptoms the same as a mild flu – aches, pains and mild fatigue. Your nails will often be soft and your scalp itchy. Even if you do not have these symptoms – adding omega 3 to your diet will greatly benefit your body – inside and out!
The main sources for Omega 3's are fish – especially salmon – and sardines, but walnuts and flax seeds contain a great amount if fish is not your thing. As I mentioned above – quite a lot of foods these days are enriched with Omega 3's and this can be a great starting point, but don't count on getting the best health benefit from these sources. If you are not eating at least 2-3 servings of fish and sardines a week, you may want to consider taking a good quality supplement containing about 600 mg per day.
These days all doctors and nutritionists agree how important Omega 3 is for your health. A recent report showed that most of them will recommend their patients complaining about various conditions up their intake of Omega 3 – and they have reported that in more than half the cases they see, this is enough to make the patient feel better and they need no further treatment or medication!
So grill up some fish, sprinkle some flax seed into your pasta sauce or onto your oatmeal, and watch your body feel and look healthier in no time!

Ex: Earlier this evening USA Today officially broke the news (which as of this writing has been pulled from USA Today's Game Hunters section) that Microsoft's Project Natal's final name is Kinect. Most likely a play on the words 'connect' and 'kinetic,' the Xbox 360 peripheral is expected to make an impact with its controller-free, motion sensing technology.
Then why is it so easy to draw parallels to the Wii when analyzing the Kinect launch lineup?
So true. So true. Same thing with the MOVE. Motion controls are jsut a gimmick trying to copy Nintendo's style.
But even MOVE is imitating Wii Games. These games are expected to demonstrate the technology. They are easy to make and demonstrate the concept and use of the product in a way that everyone can relate to. That's why they exist. However, I surely expect more to come out of the products.
I don't like articles like this that try to start unnecessary controversy. People shouldn't be surprised seeing these early demo titles. The title of this article makes it sound as if Kinect has to be either innovative or imitative. Frankly the word "innovative" gets tossed around way too much for my liking, but the point is that these titles are completely expected and the title makes it sound like Imitation or Innovation are the only options. So either do something that gamers have never seen or GTFO? I hope no one has endorsed that attitude. I know MS tried to hype it as innovative but that's like believing Sony's PS3 really does "Everything". I have expectations for Kinect but I'm not going to deem it a failure if it doesn't "innovate" gaming, especially based off these demo titles. What kind of journalism does that? The idea is to see the technology and to build off of it. You can't expect complex games to form. Even Socom 4 isn't using MOVE exclusively, we've yet to see a game use the features of motion control more exclusively and we shouldn't today. The following week will change all of that.
I would withhold judgment until the 17th when MS reveals everything else about Kinect.
Remember, tomorrow is not about Kinect at all, just the 360. There is a separate day for Kinect.
@Alpha- Bubbles up!
@sunnyd- LOL at ur stealth edit dude.
He's jealous because he wasn't invited to Kinect conference.
Watch the damn live blogs and know there's a lot of stuff apart from what LA Times revealed. Double vader's light saber included =)
Anyone who honestly thought these were gonna be for the hardcore market is delusional, these are such a blatant cash grab for the casual market. I'm pretty disappointed as now we're going to see hardly any hardcore games.
"I would withhold judgment until the 17th when MS reveals everything else about Kinect. "
The natal conference just finished.
LOL thats the broadcast of the jungle circus show which just finished.
No, it didn't. This was a private viewing: http://www.e3expo.com/
Look at the right side. They actually changed it, but now it seems Kinect's conference is going to be Tuesday, and today (Monday) will be about the Xbox.
First of all, I just understood your name. Consoles= Con"lol"es. Clever.
Second, motion controls are not going to take over traditional gaming. I do not for a second think a majority will adopt motion controls. As for hardcore games, what makes us so hardcore? Is it the fact that we play complex shooters? RPGs? I mean, I enjoy the Sims, Flower, Rock Band, etc. but apparently these are casual games. I don't care about calling myself a hardcore gamer. I don't care if Move or Natal doesn't have hardcore games. I just want what is appealing to me, and if something appeals to me then I will be interested in purchasing it.
Can anyone name ANY video game that doesn't draw a parallel form something else that they have hear or seen. What is this guy's point, he sound like a crybaby little biotch looking for something to draw hits to his site.
Overall, this article was lame to me.
good read alpha male, you'll have 10 bubbles while we all have 4 lol. very good points man.
well the guy writing the article is talking about the games MS is pairing with the Kinect.
He's not really saying the device itself is imitation, but that the presented games are really just stuff that the Wii already has and not games that really reflect the potential of the device.
The same can be said about the Move, but hey at least Move showed RE5 and Socom can be done. MS just has to show us that a non-casual game can be done on the Kinect.
Sony really didn't show anything exclusive about Move technology. I mean, even the Wii can do the Resident Evil and Socom motion that Sony demonstrated. Would you really notice the difference of the motion technology? This was thrown out just to show hardcore gamers they have Sony's support. I'm still waiting for the games to focus entirely on Move's technology. This was very easy for Sony to do and once they did it it allowed people to ask "Where's Natal's hardcore support?" Smart move by Sony (do I even need to tell you I'm making the pun purposely?) Sony revealed Socom with MOVE a long time ago but I didn't need to see it to know it could be done. I of course wasn't expecting to see complex uses of MOVE all those months ago, but of course, what better way to feed the war than to show a hardcore game with motion support. It was a clever move, regardless of Sony did it intentionally.
Most of what we saw from MOVE focused around those games that no one wants and from what this article is complaining about-- Wii Sports games, that are purposely designed for ease of demonstration purposes. Sony even used that mature fighting game, but again, it doesn't show anything about hardcore games, just outlines, very simply, the technology behind the motion. That's all MS is doing here. Frankly I think the problem is that MS has shown the technology all year and at this point people just want to see the actual retail games.
All year BOTH Move and Natal showed NO innovation.but now it's an issue because of the launch games?
The Natal approach was smart..show the red balls again and again..get bashed by the haters..and watch them huddle by their computer as the news rolls in
Move showed nothing that hasnt been done on the Wii..ever..Sony is just donig something that the Wii can't which is bring better graphics and control..
But Games..ALL have been done on the Wii..
Every demo has been a game from Wii Sports and Wii Sports resort..
They say it appeals to hardcore..but they showed a light gun game..but can they top House of dead Overkill on the Wii?
They use what was a really cool Game Trailers dedut in Socom 4..
But the Wii has been doing shooters forever..
Metroid Prime..like 3 Call of Dutys..Medal of Honer..Conduit..
Hell people sleep on the fact that it was the PS2 using Guncon with the pretty cheesy Redsident Evil: Dead Aim games that tried to innovate the FPS shooter with aiming techniques..
I've said it from day one..Move and Natal need to do exactly what the Wii did to be successful..pack-in a bowling game and some other mini-sports that the family can enjoy in the holidays and show off to other people..and watch the sales pour in.
The author of the article obviously doesnt know much about the games..because there really hasnt been a volleyball game where you set and hit like you would in real life..I honestly think that's a great one..on paper (watch it suck..hard in real life though)
I salute what both Sony and Microsft are doing..but don't sleep on the giant wall of games that the Wii has at your local gamestop..because they have done it all with motion controls ad nauseum..but the differences will ANY of the new motion controllers have a game like Zelda, Mario, or the new Metroid..
That what makes this gen so special..you got so many choices..for fans of ALL systems
well technical the boxing game is just a move game alpha.Then Socom may use both controller or the move with Zipper stating move players had an advantage over DS3 players.But the game I am waiting to hear have Move support is elder scrolls.Cloud got me excited thinking about using it for a game like that.Actully controlling your sword and shield,using voice commands to cast spells.Just got to love the possibilities.And of course any hard core natal game is not going to be ready to show yet.It takes years to make those games and they haven't had that long yet.Actually they probably haven't had six whole months with the final build specs to work with. originally the cam was suppose to do all its own processing when that changed so to would any game counting on using the 360 processor to its fullest.Better games will come,it just takes time to make them.
The author has no idea what's really going on over there.
Who?Disagree(2)Agree(0)Nike | 18m ago"
examiner.com is suddenly PS3 fanboys favorite site again?
examiner.com for ya. Quick, someone turn the event into a tweet so they can understand what's going on.
Take a look at my article list and you'll see tons of pro-360 coverage.It's an opinion piece folks, everyone has them.
All you did was look at an ad and summarize that MS is imitating the Wii with Kinect.
No mention of video chat. No mention of Star Wars or Disney. No mention of Track and Field. No mention about the yoga and Tai Chi. No mention about what was actually happening on the floor. You just looked at every one else's rumours and decide to paste your own condescending opinion about it.
If I sound bitter, it's because I find it sad how Examiner's abuse of reporting tweets as news stories caused a legit Tweet feed by a journalist who snuck into and took pics of the event to get failed, while this tripe got passed.
It's not about you being pro-Microsoft or pro-Sony. It's about you being a complete and utter tabloidist only looking to stir controversy for the greatest number of views, passing quick judgement for the sake of some short-term hits.
@Parapraxis: Look at the statement that completes the paragraph -
"You just looked at every one else's rumours and decide to paste your own condescending opinion about it."
We all know MS's strategy for appealing to the casuals with their games, and it's obvious they'd imitate the Wii's library of instant hits. The issue is this guy's reporting. I highly doubt this guy went any where near those demos and tried them out. I'm questioning his credibility and urge to stir controversy just for the sake of N4G hits. That's obvious in the omitted details - you'd think some one who was actually there would mention light saber dueling with Darth Vader in Star Wars.
"No mention of video chat. No mention of Star Wars or Disney. No mention of Track and Field. No mention about the yoga and Tai Chi."
MS is imitating the Wii with Kinect, if you don't realize this...wow.
Remember the Wii is a response to the eyetoy and that was Sony's baby though I can say that Nintendo is the most successful and will remain the most success full unless Move has a hardcore shooter/horror game that makes use of all the tech. Kinect seems to smell of fail but I want Kameo to succeed so I might get this thing at somepoint at a much lower price point.
Casual, and Non gamers already got a Wii, and are not going to buy another motion control console while hardcore gamers are not going to touch this crap with a 10 foot pole.
I think it's time for MS fanboys to drop this illusion that Kinetic will offer much in terms of a hardcore experience.
I personally don't see anything wrong with it. There will always be hardcore games so I don't see the casual movement as a threat. The more the merrier. I sure in the future there will be some games that incorporate Natal with the controller but I don't see it being a significant enough addition to warrant the purchase.
Im tired of debating
watch for yourselves. Sony has been reseaching and perfecting this tech for years before the wii came out. and kinect being innovative give me a break.
open your eyes!!
Of course the early games are Wii-like. I am fully expecting these games to exist, they are pretty much games that demonstrate the technology. Even MOVE has it
I'm sure this is not all MS will offer.
Natal's official conference is on the 17th. Hopefully they can make a final impression as it is the last major chance MS has before launch
I know it's not all they will offer, and I know the software will improve greatly. But this is NOT a good first impression.
add to that - when they introduced it, they showed off milo, the super ai that you could have a conversation with. that, turned into river rafting.
not exactly what they led people to believe it was huh?
What do you mean? They completely scrapped Milo in favor of that river rafting game? If that's true then I'm really disappointed.
Milo's potential was pretty big. Imagine Wolfram-Alpha in human form. That could be Milo.
okay im not going to say they scrapped milo for river rafting, i dont know. i dont think milo was ever going to be a game actually, it was a tech demo of what it was capable of, so ms said.
im trying to say that ms led gamers into thinking natal was capable of truly impressive, innovative things. and it looks like they have absolutely nothing to show for it that is even remotely unique or innovative. maybe they have more to show for it, but i doubt it.
Indeed Alpha. But considering how much the media and MS have hyped Natal to be the next big innovative thing... well, this feels remarkably subpar.
I still think the best uses will be in tandem with controllers for games like those in the RTS genre (Halo Wars 2 anyone?). But as it stands, this is a personal "nail in the coffin" for my total NOT caring of motion controls this year, on any system. Until I see something that really is amazingly innovative from Sony or MS on the GAME aspect of these motion controls, that's a resounding MEH from me.
I thought they would've thrown a hardcore game in there to steal some of that Sony commitment when they said they'll have things for the hardcore.
Instead, they did what I should've know they would do all along.
"Only $149.99 US dollars" Riiiiver Rush! oh and this http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Wow, someone actually criticized Kinect? Unheard of!
Still not impressed with Microsoft.
Check out this live tweet for more up-to date info on Kinect.
Sample this awesome description:
"Screens coming down, unveiling, like...fifteen floating rooms with families dancing in them?"
"Man, this is just...what."
"Upside down lady again! Bouncing a ball. Upside down."
"Flying...fucking...avat ars in space? Jesus Christ, Microsoft."
Good stuff. Better than Examiner arm chair critics.
I believe MS will bring something for the hardcore, which i am interested. But i see natal or KINECT will be for casual gaming. Like MOVE will be. But I dig the concept of Kinect, hell, im planning to get it for my mom. those are the king of games she likes.
I agree with alpha male on this, but just because Wii has it and Sony Move has it, doesn't mean Natal/Kinetic needs to have it as well. They promised a ground breaking experience. So far we are shown casual games that offer nothing but just an alternative to Wii. I think we should have known better. Both Microsoft and Sony are going after Wii crowd and they are offering games that are similar to Wii but with better graphics.
Of course they're going to be like Wii games at first. It's funny how people think that Sony will be different here's a tip, Wii sold over 70 million units not catering to the hardcore. So what do you think Microsoft AND Sony are going to do? They are going to do what could possibly make them the most money, and that's not with the hardcore. I know it's sad, but it's true.
Also...how did that guy tweet from in there. I thought they all had to shut of anything electronic. Or is it anything that could take pictures?
several people were tweeting during the event, even CliffyB himself was.
So they introduce the new name "Kinect" and show off some games that target it's core audience (casual gamers) where is the shock in this? I'm sure we will see some surprises for it tomorrow. I know Ghost Recon, Fable 3, and rumored Metal Gear game are supposed to work with it. So ya never know. However I've seen articles with rumored prices from $99, $120, $180 so we don't know that either. It's still too early to speculate on anything. That show looked to be amazing though.
They dont have any games and Natal is average as well, i doubt any hardcore gamer will enjoy that,
Seeing all this blind defense for natal is hilarious.
guess what back to halo gears all over again, thats what xbox is and will be.
All in good time my Hardcore friends.
I don't care if they named it Kinect 4. If the games does not impressed, then I do not want to hear it. Besides, didn't Eyetoy demonstrated that without controllers things wouldn't just work as well as it should?
*eye toy never existed*...
My friend,
Kinectimals FTW.
Cry me a river Bzone24, and lighten up.
I didn't make the bloody thing.
That was a complete waste of time... Wow. Are you serious? Really pathetic man. I'm embarrassed for you.
Every time i hear this new name i think of those toys that came out a long time ago called k'nex.
I think i will have more fun with my K'nex rather than the xbox kinect
If the world can accept that I think Kinect will be OK.
MS's conference info being locked down like Nuclear Launch Codes? im really worried about our stockpile if our launch codes are only locked down THIS tight. i thought only like 3 people knew about it.
i know i can't wait to mc hammer dance across the living room just to play a game.
timmy, what's all that noise in there?
i'm playing battling seizure robots, mom. *wipes brow* so....awesome.
@ Moonboots
but the wii is not a bad name is actually catchy Wii, like having fun
kinect umm yeah...
Using your analogy about what you think about when you hear Kinect?? Okay :)
Personally, I don't care for motion controls, and the Move games appear to be imitating Wii games at this stage as well. It is to be expected, as that is the crowd being targeted by both Sony and Microsoft.
That being said, the XBox Kinect was supposed to bring a revolution to the way games are played, according to the hype from the media. However, we only see the same Wii clones. As of right now, the first showing appears to be relatively unimpressive.
is coming true.this knect or wut eva is not goin to go well.like i said before the majority of 360 owners r hardcore gamers not casual gamers.this is goin blow up in ms face.u cant jus turn ur bk on the people (hardcore gamers)thats makin u money.anyways peace and gaming
@ moonboots
I may know the difference but who are they aiming this towards casual gamers which will most likely be little kids
don't think they would have a clue what the name means and like i stated before the Wii has a name that u can understand and so does the PlayStation move.
care to argue back even more?
I'm sorry but unless the Kinect can follow every movement you make at any speed and distinguish between different gestures, subtle motion or complex movement I'm afraid what it can do will be severely limited. At least the PSEYE can recognize the Move Wand no matter what. But can the Kinect recognize each individual finger on my hand, or different colours of clothes or different colours of skin or what object or person doesn't belong in the game? We'll see.
1st, there's Kinectimals which lets you interact with, train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger. Kinectimals sounds like a disease...
So we get to play with pussies?.....sigh
Well they are playing catchup but in all fairness and honesty, when have microsoft been innovative and trying to push gaming boundaries and rethink how "GAMERS" look at games? Like never? Hate to admit it but looks like sony is the place to go for innovation.
So let's actually hope we DONT ever have to play Halo with pretend finger guns...

As the Newt Gingrich campaign confronts uncomfortable revelations from the candidate's second wife, Marianne Gingrich, that he asked her for "an open marriage" – charges that will air Thursday night on ABC's "Nightline" – questions are also surfacing about about the network's motivations for broadcasting it now.
Does ABC have it in for Mr. Gingrich? Is the show timed to hurt his prospects, which have been rising, in Saturday's South Carolina primary? Why dredge up now something that happened 10 years ago?
The full interview won't run until after the CNN-sponsored GOP presidential debate Thursday evening, but clips of it have gone viral on the Internet, and reporter Brian Ross appeared on ABC's "The View" to discuss the potential effect of Mrs. Gingrich's interview. "She spoke in measured tones," he said, attempting to play down what co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck introduced as "bombshell" allegations." He also noted that the final impact is "for the voters to decide."
Defending the network's decision to broadcast the interview two days before the South Carolina primary, Mr. Ross noted that ABC has been scrutinizing all the candidates, pointing to its reports Wednesday night on Mitt Romney's possible tax evasions. Beyond that, he said the interview took place on Friday. ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider says "Nightline" "reached out to the Gingrich campaign" for a response. The candidate has declined to comment on the allegation.
"This is one of the toughest decisions news executives and producers face," says former ABC News producer John Goodman, via e-mail. "You have a story that can impact a political campaign. Do you go with it, or sit on it?" he says. "The journalist in you says you have to air it. But you clearly understand that by doing so, you create a PR nightmare."
The fact that most of Mrs. Gingrich's comments are "old news," and that the South Carolina primary is days away, feeds the "suspicion by the average American that ABC has a liberal bias and can't wait to air the story to destroy Gingrich's presidential hopes," Mr. Goodman says. In obtaining the interview, he adds, ABC must ask itself this question: Does she have a vendetta to destroy her ex-husband? "There's no clean-cut, no-brainer, right-or-wrong answer," he says. "You just have to do what you feel is the right decision."
ABC is not Marianne Gingrich's only recent brush with the media. The Washington Post published an interview with her on Thursday, in which she said she was speaking out for the first time because she "wanted her story told from her point of view, rather than be depicted as the victim or suffer a whisper campaign by supporters of Newt Gingrich's presidential bid." At the same time, according to a CBS spokesman, " '60 Minutes' passed on this one."
Withholding a story is justified only on the rarest of occasions, says Lee Kamlet, dean of the School of Communications at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn., and a former ABC News producer. It might be justified if national security is threatened, or if a person's life could be put in danger. "Neither is the case here," he says, via e-mail.
The standard should be simple: "If it's news, it should be broadcast, regardless of the timing," he says. "The voters can decide its relevance to their decision."
An internal debate over a story's potential impact on the campaign is a no-win proposition, adds Mr. Kamlet. "If ABC News decided to hold the story until after the South Carolina primary, they would be just as susceptible to speculation and criticism that they withheld it in order to avoid embarrassing Newt Gingrich," he says. Moreover, the candidate himself has made his marriages public fodder, he notes.
"He has spoken about them and addressed the question in at least one nationally televised debate. Once the candidate puts a personal subject like that out before the public, he has made it fair game for reporting by any news organization," he says.
However, this does not suspend obligations for careful reporting, says Len Shyles, a communication professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania. It is critically important, he says, for the media not to "sully another person with the rants of a disgruntled former associate."
But if information can be validated and confirmed, "it should be shared immediately," he says. "Then let the chips fall where they may." A former spouse raises unique challenges concerning corroboration, but that still does not remove the necessity for it. "It comes down to the need for evidence," he says. Without that, there is no proof, and "it should be passed over in silence."
The history of such personal revelations amid a primary season suggests that the public would like to be the final arbiter. Revelations about Bill Clinton's relationship with Gennifer Flowers became a major campaign issue, yet "he was ultimately elected," says Karen Curry, a Drexel University professor and former NBC News bureau chief. The key, she says, is for the candidate to step up and take the heat immediately. Gingrich is in a good position to do so, she says, adding that he has already introduced the notion of being a changed man, regretful about past mistakes.
"The redemption narrative plays very well in American politics," she says. But "the candidate has to step up right away or it will appear something is being hidden."

Allan Lichtman has unlocked the secret to counting the vote
Can't stand to wait another week to know who's going to be president?
Ask Allan Lichtman.
"My 13 questions will tell you who will claim the popular vote," says the American University political professor, a Marylander who ran for the U.S. Senate in 2006.
His keys have called it right in every election since the middle of the 19th century, when the popular vote was first counted.
Of course many of those successes were retroactive. Lichtman's Keys was first published in 1996. An eighth edition came out this year to unlock 2012.
An incumbent, scandal-free president whose nomination was unopposed and faces no major third party candidate scores four. Add a major foreign policy success with no counterbalancing major blunders for two more. A major domestic policy initiative adds a key. And if the economy is not in recession on Election Day, Obama scores an eighth key.
On the other hand, Romney scores two keys for Republican dominance in the House and an economy worse off since the incumbant was elected than in President George W. Bush's prior two terms.
If either candidate is a national hero or dominantly charismatic, he wins another key. Any major social unrest adds one for the challenger.
How do you call it?
Lichtman calls this one for Obama.
"I also think he'll win the electoral vote. In 27 of 28 elections since 1900, the political and electoral have gone the same way. There was only one exception, and you know what that was: 2000."
Want a grain of salt? Lichtman ran for Senate as a Democrat — and lost.

Yes, during VT system rampage.
They never do anything significant, and always took secondary role so the youngster can shine (in professional terms: they're not worth the title). Plan to fix this myself.

Well in Athena, the security squad are actually being a security squad themselves. Especially during the Academy attack... :3
As for the "brief villain" moment thing, I'm thinking of toning it down to a more... one-on-one thing seeing as it will be due to something personal.
Something which would lead to this kind of confrontation(Though not on the same grounds as what's being mentioned in the video):
And I'm thinking to have the confrontation between him and a canon member...

Eh, not much.
Me and Zero(If I understood his post right) were going on about how the Academy's security squad should be more... professional that simply "being there".
Then there's me thinking of toning down the "Against IS" thing.

'Mountain breaker' packet is heat diffusion cannon, turning compressed air into visible gas/plasma/whatever. It's main purpose is to make rapid fire mode more powerful, it also added another pair of cannon (making 4 in total)
I imagine actual radiation/heat weapon is forbidden, though not very sure about laser. (It's used in both ST and TLR Stratos)
EDIT: Well, Proioxis (sp?) from Athena series, and it's predecessor Minerva Custom can use heat based weaponry, and most, if not all the technology is derived from first generation I.S., do note that this very unit is designed by anti I.S. organization so rules may not apply.
EDIT2: Since it's always stated that energy weapon, energy barrier and thruster DO drain I.S. battery (though at slower rate rate than Absolute defense), does this mean that the solid state weapon such as guns and missiles also have limited ammo?

Again, there probably is a limit inside the magazines. Effectively there should be no ammunition limit because the IS can just construct/realize ammo from data schematics stored within the core.
Thanks for the correction about the packet. So heat weaponry was banned to start with? How the heck did energy weapons get a pass? O.o?

I dunno
Basically anything that can hurt/torture the pilot directly in battle is banned. In my personal interpretation (which mean not necessarily fit canon), it's along the line of "Radioactive, electric surge, chemical, and biological weapon".
Note that Radioactive there also cover for gamma/X-ray projector and neutron cannon/bomb. While plasma-coated blunt weapon is basically a gigantic taser in nature, they are exempted because it's simply unable to torture pilot. (it'll be lethal by default by sheer kinetic energy alone)
EDIT: Though I prefer the idea about blunt weapons are anti-beam coated, which works wondrously against normal barrier, though not as much as beam saber or plasma weapon.
I'm still conflicted about including heat-based weapon in the ban list, since laser is practically just that.
There are more weapon that is tournament-legal yet can be used for torture (such as Rin's air cannon or Laura's cable launcher), which leaves things to pilot's ethic as well.
As for 'unlimited ammo' thing, the only things implied about is that energy-to-matter conversion is one way trip. It took more than single day to repair damaged I.S. that lose it's parts, which mean it'll took some time to fill the magazines (Probably more than 10 minutes with the I.S. shut down). This means that while technically they can generate ammo indefinitely, doing so will took quite a time (especially if your I.S. is active) and I.S. practically still carries limited ammo per battle. I can see the usage of spare magazine except for internally-loaded weapon such as Shotgun or missile launcher.

so there is a possibility remains of an IS with heat based weaponry?
About the ammo and comparing it with IS repair. The length of time is dependent on level of damage. Thus far the repairs which have required whole days are Cecilia's and Rin's IS. If memory serves me right, their units were totally scrap at that point. If the mass is something as negligible as ammo, it's not unfathomable that ammo can be generated in minutes, not fifteen, maybe about 1-3? pending on the bullet size and structural complexity.

Yeah, that's a possibility. All in all, it's the application that's matter (Because Yukihira is tournament illegal and yet still allowed to be used)
Also yes, in my fanon it's affected by the total amount of mass lost as well as the complexity. For example, between 3x30 boxed rounds and 90 linked rounds, the later is longer to generate because you can just store the empty boxes back to be reloaded whereas links are disposed into cluster of data to be recycled, similar to spent shell.
Do remember that again, it's implied that when I.S. is active, and even more so during battle condition, all conversion/maintenance process is much slower simply because the core doesn't generate enough energy to do just that. Again, ammo recycling in battle simply unfeasible unless you have Akatsubaki's hax OOA.

the energy can just be explained by capacitors. Processing power is more your bill for explaining the need for time to process ammo.
The reason I asked about heat based weaponry is because I rewatched kamen rider Fourze episodes for some ideas. and his fire form can absorb heat based attacks and use them to supplement his finisher

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.
Bryce Canyon National is located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet. From Wikipedia

Currently there doesn't seem to be an easy way to start developing in Qt for Maemo 5. Yes, Qt Creator is available for Windows and it works well. But if you want to develop for Maemo 5, most of the solutions seem to point at Linux. While this makes sense to a certain extent – after all, Maemo is based on Linux – Qt should be cross platform, thus one should be able to use Windows in a relatively painless way.
The fact is that Windows is the most used OS in the world, no matter how bad or good it is. Therefore there are a lot of Windows developers in our planet. Some of these might find it interesting to try to develop something for Maemo. And since Qt seems to be the future for Maemo platform, at least according to Nokia, it would make sense to have something to make it possible.
While for the professional developer it might be enough to just have some documentation how to set up a VM developing environment, this could be too complicated for an occasional coder. Let us not forget how easy it is to set up Visual Studio.

I'm always looking for books to read to and with my family–just a page or two after dinner, as we're all seated around the table, before we clear off the dishes. My oldest is a brand new teenager, her brother is a month shy of 11 and then there's our 6 year old, who has a death grip on being the baby of the family. It's challenging because of the age differences, sometimes we are over their heads and other times, way under..which is why we ended up chalk-boarding our kitchen table. It works. Some nights. And then it doesn't.
But we keep trying. (Current book attempt:Wild Grace P.S. Max Lucado has several other teen versions of his best sellers that have been successful for our family reading time with occasional omissions/edits.)
And we keep failing. I call it a success if we can read a paragraph without starting over because of interruptions. And it's a home run if a fruitful discussion happens based on what we're reading and not digress on which Kindergarten boy pooped on the playground during recess. (Oh, you'd like to hear that story wouldn't you?)
As we were finishing up our Resurrection Eggs two weeks ago (we did 3 every night for the four days leading up to Easter), I could tell we were losing my teenager's interest and she tried to distract her brother. She was bored, but I continued because little sister was ALL ABOUT THE EGGS.
To make a long story short, before I could finish, my hubby had corrected my kids 3 times and had run out of patience and then one of my kids, actually threw the holy plastic egg at their sibling. It went downhill from there. I closed the book and pointed to the back yard.
Yes, I banished my children to weed pulling for the next hour. (We have a lot of weeds).
If having unhappy children was an Olympic event, I'd be wearing gold most days.
Side story: As my hubby and I cleaned up dinner in silence, I said, "When you're not angry, can we talk about this and maybe how you should pick your battles?" He was silent. So instead of waiting like I suggested, I let him have it.
My husband dried off his hands and said, "I'm going to go pull weeds, too."
Well, that did not go as planned.
As I stood alone in my kitchen, I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry or join the rest of my family outside. So, I apologized to my husband.
When it comes to parenting, I waiver between wanting peace to reign in my home, and not being willing to sacrifice everything to get it.
Someone I knew a long time ago once said to me as I corrected my strong-willed daughter for bad behavior, while hers got away with the very same thing, "I find that my child is a lot happier when I just give in sometimes." We sort of stopped getting together after that because I couldn't compete with her "happy" child who was also sort of bratty.
I realized right then and there, this whole mom thing was a lot tougher than I thought. Because an (immediate) happy child isn't always a (longterm) healthy child.
Oh, I'm not anti-happy. I don't purposefully make my kids sad or angry. I just think it's important to stick to my guns and the unhappiness kind of flows from that. Because here's the thing: When they are unhappy, it generally means we are doing something right because often their unhappiness is a result of us trying to shape their wills into ours and ultimately, God's.
My goal is deeper than happiness. I'm after contentment. "A happy heart makes the face cheerful." – Proverbs 15:13. True happiness comes from within.
True contentment is being okay with life whether you get your way or not. When my daughter wants another new pair of shoes or the latest scarf to add to her collection, I usually want to give it to her and that would certainly make her happy (for the time being.)
But since my ultimate goal is to reduce entitlement, feed gratitude and produce contentment, I don't automatically buy it for her just because she wants it. While I do sometimes buy (or give in) my kids things just because, I don't always and this alone can produce temporary unhappiness. I often make them save, work or wait for it and bless them after they've worked hard with something they've had their eye on.
Did you know that your job as a parent is not to create a happy child? That if your child is temporarily unhappy, when he or she does choose to put a happy face back on, life will be better for all of you?" -Dr. Kevin Leman
We live in a culture that is terrified of raising unhappy kids. We over enduldge, cater to every whim and often let them grow up much faster than they need to. When the Bible talks about trials and tribulations testing our faith and making it stronger, that's not just for adults. It's for believers. Some of the best lessons my kids have learned are through their own personal hardships (a fashion crisis can be a hardship to a pre-teen girl).
So, when our kiddos are pouting and mumbling and seem unhappy, take heart — You are doing a good job and ultimately raising healthy adults..

Hendersonville City Council honored a host of service-minded citizens, including outgoing Mayor Pro Tem Jeff Collis, Thursday night.
Hendersonville City Council honored a host of service-minded citizens, including outgoing member and Mayor Pro Tem Jeff Collis Thursday night, before welcoming returning and new members to the board.
N.C. Sen. Tom Apodaca (R-Henderson) administered the oath of office for newcomer Jeff Miller. District Court Judge Emily Cowan conducted the swearing in for re-elected Mayor Barbara Volk, who then administered the oath for Councilman Jerry Smith.
This has "been very much a pleasure to be able to serve the city in this capacity," Volk said. Thursday night marked the beginning of her 25th year on City Council.
"Not everybody gets the chance to raise their right hand and swear to uphold the United States Constitution," Smith said. "It's an honor and a privilege to be sitting up here… I don't take it lightly."
Miller said that he looked forward to good years ahead. "To all those that voted for me and those that didn't, you have my word that I will do my best to not disappoint you, to always make a decision that I think is right," he said.
The new board elected Councilman Ron Stephens to serve as mayor pro tem, before honoring Hendersonville police officer Jason Smith and fire Capt. Tim Cagle for their actions that led to an arrest.
Hendersonville Fire Department Capt. Scott Justus was also recognized for successfully completing the International Professional Designation process that awards him the professional designation of "fire officer."
The Commission on Professional Credentialing, a division of the Center for Public Safety Excellence Inc., met Oct. 1 to officially confer the designation on Justus. He is now one of only 168 confirmed fire officers worldwide.
The commission awards the appointment only after an individual successfully meets all of the organization's stringent criteria, according to a news release from the CPC. The process includes an assessment of the applicant's education, experience, professional development, technical competencies, contributions to the profession and community involvement. In addition, all applicants are required to identify a future professional development plan.
The fire officer designation program uses a comprehensive peer review model to evaluate candidates seeking the credential. Justus has served with the Hendersonville Fire Department for nine years and resides in Henderson County.
Smith and Cagle
After a suggestion by District Attorney Greg Newman, Volk honored Smith and Cagle with certificates of commendations for their courageous actions to detain a drunken patron who assaulted an officer.
City Manager John Connet said Smith was conducting a foot patrol on Main Street on May 17, 2012 when he was stopped by a merchant who asked for help. The merchant had been involved in a verbal confrontation with an intoxicated male. Smith warned the suspect that he could be arrested for disorderly conduct, but the subject persisted, according to Connet.
When Smith attempted to detain the individual, Connet said, the suspect broke free and threw Smith to the ground. The conflict injured Smith's leg.
Fire Capt. Tim Cagle was in the area and rushed to assist Smith. Together, the two gained control of the suspect and took him into custody. The suspect was found guilty of all charges during a jury trial Oct. 4.
Jeff Collis
"It's always a difficult time when you lose a good council member," Volk said as she honored Collis for his "eight years of exemplary service to the city council."
During his last four years on council, he served as mayor pro tem.
Listing the "noteworthy accomplishments" made by the council during his term of office, Volk noted from a resolution:
-The rehabilitation of Main Street's infrastructure.
-Implementing the city-staffed Main Street Program and establishing the Downtown Advisory Committee.
-The 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which helps guide the growth within the city for the next 25 years.
-The purchase of property for the construction of a new fire station on Sugarloaf Road.
-The city's "Preserve America" designation.
-Receiving evaluated proposals for the Grey Hosiery Mill building and the initiated studies that followed for a convention or conference center at the site.
-Upgrading the city's water treatment plant with room for growth.
-Revamping the city's privilege license tax rate.
-Installing a raw water intake at the French Broad River.
-Amendments to the city's code of ordinances in regards to water shortage response and conservation and incentives program.
-Amendments to the code of ordinance in regards to animal control.
-Beaver management program.
-Welcoming a new location for the Flat Rock Playhouse downtown.
-Implementing the parks and green space master plan.
-Welcoming Wingate University downtown.
-Regulation of electronic gaming operations.
-Numerous water and wastewater system improvement projects including a new metering system and amendments to the sewer extension policy and the policy governing voluntary annexations as a result of sewer extension requests and water for the Dana community, plagued by tainted wells.
"Collis served as the council liaison for the Downtown Advisory Committee and served as alternate on the Land-of-Sky Regional Council board," Volk said. He "has been a strong encourager and supporter of the city employees and worked to increase police patrols in the city.
"We now express our gratitude to an individual who has made a difference in Hendersonville during his term of office. We are thankful for his public service and express our appreciation on behalf of the citizens of Hendersonville."
