 NEWS General Updates
UPS Holiday Schedule
   UPS is delivering Ground and Air packages today but they're not picking up any packages at all this afternoon. We're going to be switching orders to USPS Priority Mail and USPS Express Mail so that we don't lose a transit day. Furthermore, please note that Monday is a holiday with UPS, USPS, and Fedex on hiatus. Shipping and operations will resume on Tuesday.
Happy New Year
   NCS wishes everyone a Happy New Year. The dollar's probably bottomed against the Japanese yen and may start heading back up to at least par by the summer of 2012. If so, prices for Japanese imports should return to more acceptable levels. If not, we could try selling lawn furniture made in China.  
Hyrule Historia
   An update on importing the Zelda 25th Anniversary book should be forthcoming in the next few days. The shipping cost per book that we've been quoted isn't reasonable but we'll try to work something out with the vendor by next week. 
 
 
 
  VIDEO The Voyagers by Penny Lane
  
The Voyagers by Penny Lane
   A short film about two small spacecraft, an epic journey, taking risks and falling in love. Also Carl Sagan.

ABOUT THE FILM //
   In the summer of 1977, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on an epic journey into interstellar space. Each spacecraft carries a golden record album, a massive compilation of images and sounds embodying the best of Planet Earth. According to Carl Sagan, “[t]he spacecraft will be encountered and the record played only if there are advanced space-faring civilizations in interstellar space. But the launching of this bottle into the cosmic ocean says something very hopeful about life on this planet.” While working on the golden record, Sagan met and fell madly in love with his future wife Annie Druyan. The golden record became their love letter to humankind and to each other. In the summer of 2010, I began my own hopeful voyage into the unknown. This film is a love letter to my fellow traveler.
