The 8681 control head was specially developed for decentral automation of hygienic seat valves, butterfly valves and ball valves. It supplements Bürkert's ELEMENT series of control heads, digital positioners and process controllers for diaphragm, angle seat and globe valves and rounds out the automation portfolio for the food/beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
The 8681 has been specially optimized for decentral automation of pneumatically controlled hygienic process valves. It is universally adaptable and can be combined with all commercially available valve types, such as butterfly valves, ball valves and single and double-seat valves. Since the control head is very easy to clean, features time-tested IP protection and is made of chemical-resistant materials, it is ideal for use in hygienic applications. Within the framework of decentral automation concepts the 8681, as a central unit, performs all pneumatic actuation, feedback and diagnostic functions, as well as bus communication. Depending on the process valve, as many as three pneumatic actuator chambers can be controlled separately

Any people said wins were a useless stat

If the voters did change no way Dickey would have reciever 27-32....He crushed kershaw while kershaw was the better pitcher. WINS

Can't say Kershaw was robbed when Verlander didn't win either. Wins always matter when the numbers are close.
pretty much a given Dickey would win but I thought it would be close. 2 voters left Kershaw completely off the ballot lol.
This is a ridiculous exaggeration
Dickey and Kershaw were basically identical in sabr stats, maybe a tiny edge to
Dickey winning doesn't mean wins are important, if they were, Gio would have done better.
These two were close, more voters sided with Dickey. It doesn't mean because of one particular stat that that is the reason he won. These two were basically identical in value this season.
Nope and they wont. I got crushed preaching this in Mid September with people calling me morons because the King won with not many wins. The King won because he destroyed everyone in every other flashy stat area...Kershaw did not and thus wins were the only factor and its moronic on the voters part. I do not mind dickey winning but he crushed everyone else with votes and that is just

I had very oily hair, so oily that if I were to wash my hair in the morning, by nighttime my hair will be shiny with oil. I bought this shampoo thinking that it may be good for my oily hair. My hair felt that it was stripped of everything after washing, I would use a conditioner to bring back some softness to the ends.
I used it on alternate days (the other day I would use a dry shampoo) and I realized that I was losing hair. It was so bad that I was worried that I may have bald spots. Now I have stopped using it, my hair loss have reduced a tiny bit. I don't think I will be using this shampoo anymore.
Smells earthy. Great lather and one of the best deep cleaning shampoos I've used. The tiny bits can get in your hair sometimes but they come out easy. Can be drying of you use everyday tho.
I've had my bar since November so it's lasted me a while and it's still got a lot of use left. I don't find that the herbs get stuck in my hair that much, I guess it's just the texture of my hair. If you have fine hair or hair that gets easily tangled it would probably be annoying.
I like the smell and it has helped me get rid of my severe dry scalp. I've tried pretty much everything. I used prescription shampoo and although it did help, it said to only use it once a week and the flakes could come back after a day or two. And head and shoulders just made it much much worse. So I tried this one. It's gotten my dry scalp under control. It's not completely flake free, but the flaking is minimal now and isn't bother some and my scalp isn't itchy any more.
The only thing I don't like about this bar is that it gets sticky and kind of like a gel when you put it away to dry. I don't use a tin, rather I use one of those large clear containers they gave me a sample in. I stand it on it's side to dry and which ever part is touching the container gets like a gel. Mine also takes a long time to dry out. I wash my hair at night and by the after noon the following day it's still soft enough to squish if I press it.
I love the smell. It cleans my super long hair well but I don't like the bits in it sometimes they stick in my hair. Also it is messy even with the tin. Overall I'll probably repurchase.
I may be writing this review a little too soon but at the moment I really like this shampoo. I was recommended it by the LUSH sales assistant because I suffer with an itchy scalp and this has really helped - it hasn't cured the problem but using it on the days between when I use a medicated shampoo this doesn't aggravate the condition. It also leaves my hair feeling soft and looking shiny. I like the scent of the product too. I like the idea of the solid shampoo bar but you have to make sure it is left to air dry and doesn't get wet between shampoos otherwise it turns into a gloopy mess.
My holy grail shampoo now, after more than a year of trialling expensive and cheap shampoos. This preservative free and compact shampoo won't irritate my sensitive scalp (naturally oily hair, but strangely dry irritated scalp).
Thanking shampoo gods for this one.
I am a repeat purchaser of this product. It has no plastic bottle, which for me is just the best thing about it. One bar lasts me 4 months (but I do have a crop haircut). My hair looks, feels, and smells great. Brilliant. EDIT: 2012. I don't have a crop any more, and I had to give up on Squeaky Green. It makes my hair really LANK. This is odd for a product meant for oily hair. To me, it just makes it worse. So now, I just use Seanik. I hope they don't stop making it.
I use this shampoo with conditioner, and my hair has never been softer! But at the same time, it makes my hair limp which has never happened to me before (I have a lot of very straight hair, and it never looks this sad). I really like the scent of it, but I hated the metal tin it came in - it was hard for me to open in the shower, and the shampoo would always stick to it. I just use a soap dish, and it works fine, but the shampoo is a little messy. I also really like that it lathers well, and I don't mind the bits of grass. I also have oily hair, and this shampoo hasn't made it worse, and my hair feels clean after showering. I mostly wear my hair pulled back in the summer though so I wouldn't really notice if my hair was oilier anyway. I wouldn't buy this again because there are drugstore shampoos that I like more and are cheaper
I bought this shampoo bar to try and help my hair which gets oily the day after washing (and sometimes even the same night as it's been washed). I was excited to try the product after reading the reviews on MUA but was really disappointed with the results on my hair.
Not only did it do absolutely nothing to help prevent the oiliness, it actually felt worse. My hair didn't feel as clean as I can get it with other shampoos but it also made my ends very dry. I persisted with this shampoo for about a week but gave up. My hair used to be (bottle) blonde however I dyed it back to dark brown about a year ago and my colour faded a LOT after using this shampoo for only a week.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really didn't like this at the start, it made my hair really greasy and lifeless. I think this was because my hair hadn't adjusted to it yet, I've used it for about a month now and may hair isn't greasy after washing, although one downside is that it gets greasier much quicker compared to other lush shampoo bars. I actually think the worst thing about this product is the grittiness of it, which I find can be hard to rinse out.

Why Did Stevens Institute of Technology Eliminate Free Speech Protections?
April 19, 2010
If you are a student at Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey, you should be aware that your university has eliminated significant protections for free speech from its Student Handbook. The list of "student rights" in previous versions of the Handbook included the "constitutional rights of freedom of expression and assembly, and the rights of freedom of press for all student publications" as well as the "freedom to write and distribute printed material for reasons that are not commercial without the exercise of prior restraint." In the 2009-2010 Student Handbook, those two rights are notably absent from the list […]

Happy Valentine's Day—Harasser!
February 14, 2006
Today, as we all know, is Valentine's Day. It's a day for love, mushy cards, chocolate, flowers, hearts, romantic dinners, and—harassment. Or at least that's what many university administrators seem to think. Take, for example, Stevens Institute of Technology, FIRE's Speech Code of the Month school for December. Stevens bans "comments regarding a person's attire, body or reputation" under its sexual harassment policy. One might wonder, then, why The Vagina Monologues, which includes segments on such topics as "what my vagina smells like," is being performed there next week. Watch out for those "comments regarding a person's…body"! And […]

Painful joints
Hypermobility Syndrome
Member Name: hdriscoll
Hypermobility Syndrome
Date: 18/11/09
Advantages: none
Disadvantages: restricts your actvities
I am a sufferer of Hypermobility and have been really flexible all my life without knowing what I was doing to my body.
Hyper mobility is a condition where the connective tissues such as ligaments are not as stong and can be extremely strechy and dont protect the joints very well making it easy for people with the condition to substain injury. It can be passed through families or through stress of exercise such as gymnastics, ballet where you really push your body. There is different verisions, some people are just bendy, some are bendy with painful joints or a lot of clicking and some people have it serverly where it can damage internally.
I have danced for many years from the ages of 8 doing ballet, street, tap and modern and more recently pole dancing. During the later years of my short dance career when I was really getting serious and preparing for auditions at dance school to get my professional dancers qualitfications at the age of 16 I was doing a dance exam when the examiner noticed my hip bones poping out during a flexible movement and she stopped the exam. At that moment I dont think I had ever felt so scared, she examined me and asked if this happened often I said yes and thats when it all changed!
My hip bones, shoulder joints, and ankles had been popping in and out for years and I jhad many twisted, strained, fractured ankles and only when I was diagnosed did it all make sense. Popping my hip bones out used to be a party trick, even though it hurt, as a kid it was great to make everyone groan in disgust!
Looking back at activities in my life things begin to make more sense, when I was swimming as a child breast stroke used to be a chore because I could never turn my hips out properly to do the stroke. When I had growth spurts at the age of 11-12ish I could never walk long distances without terrible pain in my hips and a horrible clicking feeling in them.
When the examiner stopped the exam and explained what she thought was going on at the age of 16 I thought I was untouchable and thought my dance career was ahead of me. So I honestly didn't believe anything could be wrong, I knew I clicked and my joints popped in and out but I never imagined this was a real problem.
I went to the doctor a few days later, was referred over and over to access the extent, it wasn't good. I was advised to stop dancing and had to go physio sessions all the time. I know it sounds silly at such a young age but my dream of being a dancer something I had wanted forever had disappeared so quickly but I am pleased to say I picked myself back up again and channelled my energies elsewhere.
There is life after being dignosed just careful, I tried dancing again do street and pole but it was more of a painful reminder and too soon for me. I now swim and take step aerobics class.
I have to be careful with what I do and there are more complications as you get older, but this could be so so so much worse. My life is not in danger, I still have my spirit, determination and drive. Any young girls or boys or adults out there with this condition just concentrate on looking forward, looking after yourself and enjoying everything you have.
I wish i could give this condition 0 stars because it really hurts!
Summary: I wish I was just flexible!

You may remember Dallas Braden from such 2010 classics as yelling "get off my mound" at Alex Rodriguez, this awesome t-shirt commemorating the event and somehow throwing a perfect game against the Rays. He pitched 18.0 innings in 2011 before losing the year to shoulder surgery. In March 2012, Braden had a little more surgery for a partial rotator cuff tear. Now that his left arm is held on with staples, duct tape and unicorn glue, we don't hear that much about Braden.That was until he showed up for an anti-violence meeting in Stockton, California armed with a baseball bat and ready to yell at some local police. Apparently, there are better places to live in California than Stockton which is on a record setting murder rate pace. Braden claims his grandmother was recently robbed and he was nearly carjacked. Don't fear police-less citizens of *squints* post-apocalyptic Stockton, Braden and his bat Smashy are here for you (until he moves as soon as possible)..."Ar...

such as Nissan Motor Co.
Private consumption - which accounts for roughly 60 percent of the economy - fell 0.5 percent in the third quarter against a median forecast of a 0.6 percent drop.
Capital expenditure tumbled 3.2 percent, the fastest pace of decline since a 5.5 percent drop in April-June 2009, as companies turned more pessimistic about earnings from domestic and overseas markets.
In Japan's ailing electronics sector, Sony plans to reduce capital spending by 29 percent in the year to March 2013 and Panasonic plans a 27 percent cut, after incurring huge losses in their TV manufacturing businesses.
The companies are struggling to compete with more nimble rivals, such as South Korea's Samsung Electronics �and America's Apple Inc, and with a steady rise in the yen, which makes exports from Japan more expensive.
Analysts said Japanese companies face too many uncertainties to plan future spending with confidence and that is unlikely to change in the current quarter.
Resolving the protracted euro zone debt crisis is no nearer, U.S. tax increases and government spending cuts in early 2013 could tip America into recession unless Congress acts, and adding domestic uncertainty Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has promised to call a national election soon to break a political deadlock.
Masamichi Adachi, senior economist at JPMorgan Securities, said business investment would fall again in the fourth quarter as the global economy recovers only gradually.
If some of these uncertainties are removed, it is possible for things to improve, Adachi said.
He forecast capital expenditure will fall 0.5 percent in October-December and then rise 0.7 percent in January-March.
Japan's economy outperformed most of its Group of Seven peers in the first half of this year on robust private consumption and spending for reconstruction following last year's earthquake.
But growth has stalled since then. Indeed, second-quarter growth was revised down in the latest figures by half to just 0.1 percent. The last quarterly economic contraction was in the Oct-Dec period of 2011, when GDP fell 0.3 percent.
With the economic affect of rebuilding from last year's earthquake and tsunami fading, the government acknowledged

Congressional District # 04
EPA ID# MIN000510389Last Updated: September, 2012
Site Description
The Velsicol Burn Pit (formerly known as the Gratiot County Golf Course) site consists of approximately five acres of land in St. Louis, Michigan. From 1956 until 1970, the Michigan Chemical Corporation (later purchased by the Velsicol Chemical Corporation) burned and disposed of industrial waste, including the pesticide DDT, on the site. Approximately 2,000 to 3,000 gallons of hazardous waste were disposed of on the site. The site consists of contaminated groundwater and two ash piles on top of the former burn area. The inactive former burn area occupies part of a small ridge located approximately 1,200 feet northwest of the Pine River. The former burn area is located within the boundaries of the Hidden Oaks Golf Course.
This site was first proposed to the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1982. At that time, Velsicol removed 68,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil. As a result, the proposed NPL listing was cancelled. In 2006, additional soil and groundwater contamination was discovered and U.S. EPA and the State of Michigan decided to re-propose this area to the NPL. In March 2010, the site was placed on the NPL. Consequently, the site is now eligible for federal funding and further analysis, plus a study of possible cleanup options to address potential risks to human health and the environment. However, private residential or municipal drinking water wells are not believed to be affected by this site.
Site Responsibility
The site is being addressed through federal and state actions.
Threats and Contaminants
Approximately 345,600 square feet of contaminated soil and two fly ash piles remain on the site. Elevated levels of benzene and 1,2-dichloroethane have been found in the soils and in the underlying groundwater beneath the site.
Cleanup Progress
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) has completed a Remedial Investigation (RI) for the Velsicol Chemical Corp Main Plant site, which included the Velsicol Burn Pit Site. EPA has determined additional data is needed for the Burn Pit site, and will be sampling in July and August 2012 . The EPA will then update the Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments, and more fully characterize the site in an amendment to the original RI. Once the RI is complete, the EPA perform a Feasibility Study (FS) to determine what cleanup options are available. After the cleanup options are fully evaluated, EPA will issue a proposed plan to describe the preferred remedy for the site. Once the proposed plan is issued, there will be a public comment period when interested parties can submit comments regarding the preferred remedy to EPA. EPA will then issue a Record of Decision (ROD) that describes the remedy selected by EPA.

It's a week before the summer solstice, and even though it's 9 p.m., the sun at this far northern latitude is well above the mountains ringing Alaska's stunning Glacier Bay. Jill "Ivy" McIver, Cirrus sales rep for the Northwest, is in the left seat of this SR22T-G5 as we follow a winding and indescribably scenic route through a landscape of immense scale. Humpback whales feed in the bay's deep blue water, and normally solitary eagles flock above them in groups of 50 or more. This portion of southeast Alaska is a rain forest that's frequently shrouded in fog and low clouds—but on this June evening the vast and dramatic chains of mountains, glaciers, and coastline seems endless.

ROCK HILL The children of a Rock Hill woman charged with having drugs in her house told police they had last eaten dry cereal, a popsicle and bubble gum before their mother was taken away in handcuffs on Wednesday.
Police went to a southern Rock Hill home at about 4:30 p.m. after receiving a request to check on the welfare of two children, 2 and 7, according to a Rock Hill police report.
Police said the woman who answered the door was slurring her speech as she told officers she was alone in the house with her two children, a girl and boy. She allowed officers to search her house, where they found a bong, a marijuana scale and marijuana pipe in the kitchen.
Officers arrested the woman on drug charges and contacted the childrens grandmother to pick them up, the report states. Before leaving the house, the 7-year-old girl told officers she was hungry. She told police she and her brother had only eaten dry cereal, a popsicle and bubble gum all day.
The grandmother took custody of the children, who gave the children over to their aunt, the report states. Police contacted the York County office of the Department of Social Services and the childrens father to inform them of the situation.
Elizabeth Greene, 23, was charged with two counts of unlawful conduct toward a child and possession of marijuana, the report states. By Thursday morning, she was still at the Rock Hill jail on a $10,000 bond.

Nigel Green, chief executive of deVere Group, the world's biggest independent financial advisory firm, has said that on the basis of China's reaction and other factors the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (Fatca) looks as if it is beginning to unravel.
In an interview with InvestmentEurope, Green said that China's positioning would be crucial, because its view would also serve to steer the views of a number of other countries, particularly in Asia.
IE: How likely is China not to sign an IGA with the US?
NG: It is looking increasing likely that China will not sign an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the US on Fatca. This will be of huge concern to the US government because Fatca's strength is reliant upon every country in the world agreeing to abide by its rules. No other country in Asia has yet agreed to a Fatca IGA either, and countries in the region, and indeed across the world due to China's enormous - and growing - economic and political power, are influenced heavily by Beijing on such issues. As such, I suspect that there are some frantic behind-the-scenes, arm-twisting conversations going on between the US and Chinese authorities.
It appears that the People's Republic of China is refusing to cave in because Fatca flies in the face of several Chinese laws, making it difficult to implement even if it wanted to. Additionally, Fatca is expensive and complex for its financial institutes to introduce and the country would - thanks to a laughable lack of reciprocity - benefit very little from it.
IE: Do you believe that a separate IGA between Hong Kong and the US is sustainable given the apparent long term objectives of China?
NG: It is uncertain whether Hong Kong is considering a separate IGA with the US, however, it would seem that it is indeed doing so, judging from some media reports that I have seen. This would suggest that it has authority under its status as a Special Administrative Region of China to enter into such an agreement. I would expect that Beijing would, ultimately, be able to override such an IGA if it were inclined to do so - and judging by its stance to date on the issue, that could happen.
IE: How big is the risk that early signatories to the IGA process will want to renegotiate their deals if subsequent IGAs end up offering significant opt-outs to satisfy other jurisdictions?
NG: I don't think any earlier IGA signers would want to renegotiate based on opt-outs other countries might get. One of the articles of the "reciprocal" IGA supposedly already grants automatic benefit of more favourable terms found in future IGAs.
In addition, as repealfatca.com's James Jatras, a former US diplomat-turned-foreign policy lawyer and anti-Fatca lobbyist, recently told me it is unlikely that a country, such as the UK, which has signed an IGA would ask for more favourable conditions because the US would then just threaten direct enforcement of the full 544-page Fatca regime on all British foreign institutions. Or as he put it: "It's doubtful London would play that game of chicken, having blinked already by signing the IGA in the first place."
IE: Do you believe that US Fatca will be used as a route to implement UK Fatca, France Fatca, Germany Fatca, etc by cash-strapped European governments?
NG: It seems a reasonable, yet extremely unfortunate, assumption that other governments will consider implementing their own Fatca-style laws, should the American experiment prove, in their eyes, to be successful.
However, as we can see, the US Fatca project is already looking like it is beginning to unravel - as it is fundamentally flawed and will do little to achieve its original aims - and this, one would hope, might deter other governments from attempting something similar.
IE: Fatca is arguably one manifestation of some two decades of work by the OECD to agree anti-tax avoidance rules globally. What does the OECD work of today point to in terms of tomorrow's regulations as applied to the financial services sector?
NG: The OECD has come out in support of Fatca, although it would seem to me that Fatca itself is driven almost entirely by the US Treasury, as one wouldn't expect a global organisation such as the OECD to devise such a non-reciprocal, biased agreement.
Indeed, recently, the OECD has proposed to draft its own global rules to tackle tax avoidance. If there was political will, these regulations could, according to some analysts, come into effect within two years. Naturally, we would have to wait and see what these rules contain to see how they might affect the financial services sector.

U.S. Embassy in Yemen
A policeman checks a car at the entrance of Sanaa International Airport, in Yemen, Wednesday. The State Department on Tuesday ordered non-essential personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Yemen to leave the country. The department said in a travel warning that it had ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel from Yemen "due to the continued potential for terrorist attacks" and said U.S. citizens in Yemen should leave immediately because of an "extremely high" security threat level.

JERUSALEM // Israel insisted Thursday it would keep building homes in disputed east Jerusalem, threatening to hold up a US-proposed settlement construction moratorium designed to renew deadlocked Mideast peacemaking.
The contours of the moratorium deal, as presented by Israeli officials after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned from the U.S. last week, had appeared to be clearly agreed upon.
Washington, they said, had agreed to exclude the eastern sector of the holy city from the 90-day moratorium and there would be no further demands for construction curbs in the West Bank when the latest moratorium expired.
On Thursday, however, a day after Netanyahu said a deal was imminent, the U.S. still had not sent a promised letter detailing the understandings on the proposed moratorium.
Netanyahu spokesman Mark Regev would not discuss the details of the ongoing contacts between the two governments. But he said any future moratorium would not apply to Jerusalem, whose eastern sector was annexed by Israel in 1967 in a move not recognized by the international community.
He noted that an earlier settlement slowdown, whose expiration in September led to the current impasse in peace efforts, did not include Jerusalem.
"Israel makes a clear distinction between the West Bank and Jerusalem," Regev said. "Jerusalem is our capital and will remain as such. The previous moratorium did not apply to Jerusalem ... If there is a future moratorium, it will similarly not apply to Jerusalem."
Palestinians want construction to halt in both areas, which they claim for their future state along with the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. They have not said whether the partial freeze being brokered by the U.S. will be enough to draw them back to the negotiating table.
The negotiations broke down in late September - just three weeks after they began at the White House - following the expiry of a 10-month moratorium on new West Bank construction.
The U.S. hopes a renewed moratorium would allow Israel and the Palestinians to make significant progress toward working out a deal on their future borders. With borders determined, Israel could resume building on any territories it would expect to keep under a final peace deal.
To entice the Israelis to sign on to the deal, the U.S. has proposed a package of incentives including a gift of 20 next-generation stealth fighter planes and U.S. pledges to veto anti-Israel resolutions at the United Nations, Israeli officials have said.
But Netanyahu has been having trouble winning support from the plan even from his coalition allies. The ultra-Orthodox Shas Party, which can make or break the deal, says it will let it go through only if Israel receives written assurances from the U.S. that the building restrictions exclude Jerusalem.
In a sign of the backroom dealings in Israel around the deal, an official close to Shas said the party had received assurances that if it abstains in the vote, Defense Minister Ehud Barak would authorize the construction of hundreds of apartments in the West Bank immediately after the moratorium expires.
Some of the construction would take place in specifically ultra-Orthodox communities and other projects would be built in a settlement just outside Jerusalem, giving Shas something to take back to constituents who might otherwise oppose another moratorium.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been officially announced. The Defense Ministry did not reply to a request for comment.
Shas is critical to any moratorium deal because the inner Cabinet that will vote on it is almost evenly split, and Shas holds the two swing votes.
The party's spiritual leader, a 90-year-old rabbi known for his harsh comments about Arabs, will make the final determination on how to vote.

Making Strides with Dystonia
West Virginia teen Amanda Bell underwent deep brain stimulation surgery at Allegheny General Hospital with hopes of controlling the symptoms of dystoniaâa disorder in which the brain sends impulses to muscles that make them contract painfully and intensely. It's affected her gait, ability to hold and maneuver objects and even her speech. Allegheny Health Network's Dr. Donald Whiting explains the procedure and how it's already helping Amanda to stand and walk straighter, with hope for continued improvements as electrical impulses to her brain are adjusted in the coming months.

Charlie Longsdon will enter the prolific Pete The Feat in the Classic Chase at Warwick on Saturday.
The nine-year-old has won five on the bounce, rising 40lb in the handicap in the process, since joining his new trainer from Anna Newton-Smith's yard, with his latest victory coming in the Mandarin Chase at Newbury on December 29.
"I don't normally like to run them back so quick, especially staying chasers, but he'll have an entry in the Classic Chase at Warwick," said the Chipping Norton handler.
"It might just come a week too soon for him and it's less likely than likely at this stage, but he will have the entry.
"If he doesn't go there we will wait until the end of the month and either go to the West Wales National at Ffos Las, a similar race at Sandown, or the Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster."

Lay your arms around me
and breathe into my ear
whisper something tempting
that only I can hear
Press yourself against me
and let me feel your lust
hold me tight, excite me
you can't restrain the must
The must to penetrate me
to fill me with your cock
you want to thrust it into
my flesh, I gasp in shock
Your hand lays on my pussy
you fuck me from behind
your fingers keep provoking
the two of us combined
An intense rush fulfills me
I'm pushed against the wall
your thrusts become more craving
You're mine!, I hear you call
You pull my hair, you hit me
I'm tumbling on the floor
on all four now you bang me
I'm treated like a whore
A toy for just your pleasure
you use me, make me cry
you're turned on by my helplessness
your will I underlie
And then you're moving faster
your spunk you can't withstand
it's building up inside you
my mouth shut with your hand
No soul can hear my moaning
as you explode in me
Your scream though's even louder
when you set your cum free
We're laying on the floor now
and we both gasp for air
I feel your weight upon me
a last moment we share
You pull out and you leave me
bare naked on the floor
I gave you what you needed
I hear you close the door
You'll always find me waiting
when you come back to me
just tell me your desires
submissive I will be

There was super mario bros...there was super metroid...there was super street fighter...there was super smash bros...
..and now...there's...SUPER MEAT BOY!
Ok maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration! Haha..or well..maybe its not.
Seriously though who saw this coming? The best platformer of the year so far( sorry super mario galaxy 2) is super meat boy and its not even close.
When i first heard about all the meatboy buzz( sitting at a beefy 91% metacritic) i was very skeptical. How could a game so "brutally challenging" be so ....fun?
A few minutes into playing the game all of my questions were answered. For starters..you will die alot. Not just alot..thousands of times..seriously. Amazingly enough dying(failure) never becomes frustrating. Death is simply a component of the gameplay. There are no "lives" and dying instantly restarts the player at the beginning of each new stage so quickly its almost offputting ( in a very good way). Couple this with the fact that each stage is the perfect length and you get bite size bits of pure platforming genius capped off with superb final bosses that conclude each chapter with a true test of ones aquired skills.
Also i found it very interesting how full circle gaming and platformers as a genre have come while playing meat boy. When we grew up as young kids "death"in a game was a very bad thing...a signal of ones failure, to be avoided at all costs. With games like Super meat boy and limbo death has become a vital component of modern gameplay mechanics....an interesting thought to ponder and in some ways super meat boy is the ultimate example of this gameplay shift.
All of these elements are held together by the ultimate catalyst that any classic game needs. Amazing "controls". Unbelievably slick,intuitive and tighter than all hell the controls are the first element that struck my gaming soul. The game simply should not feel this good to play! pulling off feats that initially appear impossible are handled with the grace of a champion after a few quick deaths.Once you tackle some of the tougher stages earlier you feel like you can handle anything the game will throw at you. Its an amazing feeling of gaining fresh new gaming skills and confidence. A true testaments to the games pacing and masterful design.
Perhaps this sort of game isnt for everyone but you owe it to yourself to at least give this game a shot. Even a gamer such as myself who normally stays away from more "hardcore games" had trouble putting this game down. Has anything so "hardcore" ever been more "accessible"? Your thumbs may get a few bumps and bruises along the way but the satisfaction gained in return is absolutely incredible. There is very little wrong with meatboy and i cant wait to see how this series evolves in the future.There is a certain charm to the games violence and the music here that screams CLASSIC. More than worthy of the words "SUPER" in the title Meat Boy has made his mark as the best platformer this year thus far.
Sorry SMG2, Super Meat Boy is the platformer of the year !

Oh yeah, quite an accomplishment considering how over populated that genre has been in 2010.
Oh. Wait. Sorry, I just got 2010 mixed up with 1994 which was a year where that statement might actually have mattered.
The opening of the post confuses me. Exaggerating what exactly? That it starts with the same cliched word?

I will go ahead and respectfully disagree. Super Meat Boy is a super enjoyable game on a particular level, but having now played both that and SMG2 to completion (light world for SMB, normal game completion in SMG2) I find my vote being in SMG2's court. There is a lot to be said for the incredibly accurate and well implemented control scheme for SMB and the oddity that dying a lot isn't frustrating because the game is unfair is certainly a quality that cannot be ignored, but on the subject of variety in flavour and things that the player gets to do in both games is wildly different. Yes, SMB is super simple and aimed at a singular thing, with different characters who have their own specific types of momentum, but it is in essence the same thing every single level in the game, whereas SMG2 offers different/new gameplay elements/ways to approach levels almost every single level, and keeps mixing it up to make the player want to see what they get to do next.
It's a matter of opinion, and I'll respect you for choosing SMB as your best platformer this year, as it is a very good game, but I disagree with you.
Great to see the love here and all the respectful disagreements as well! Love the thoughts so far,
I can absolutley see where your coming from as well. Its hard to really argue against mario galaxy....definintley an incredible game~
You are right both games are vastly different in styles but almost match up neck and neck for sheer ingenuity. With meat boy i just felt like there was never a dull moment, and the music was absolutely legendary for what it was. You make a great point in that to some meatboy may end up feeling like your doing a singular thing throughout the experience, but that made the game feel a bit more "focused". SMG2 throws in every random idea at you(including the kitchen sink) and sometimes it can tend to feel, meandering. Also for better or worse i tend to give the nod to the more original experience so because SMG2 was a direct sequel with the same core feel of the original some of the WOW factor was gone for me.
I know some of that is subjective, but i will try and give the edge to a game that feels more....fresh.
You make some great points though. Hard to go wrong with either!

I'm not sure if I can agree, but man... I think Meat Boy is a legit GOTY contender, so maybe so. SMG2 is one of the best games I've played all year, but I've been really impressed by Super Meat Boy. However, I just finished Hell and I think things started going a bit downhill there. I totally wasn't digging those freaking demon mouth things.
" Haven't played Super Mario Galaxy 2 yet but Super Meat Boy is great and definitely in my top 5 for this year. "This. I can't pass judgment on Super Mario Galaxy 2, as I haven't played it yet, but if it isn't leaps and bounds better than SMG, Super Meat Boy has it beaten for me.

Its very interesting how death has come full circle. With games like limbo and super meatboy death(dying) has now become a vital component of the actual gameplay. Despite Super mario galaxys greatness, it may be a bit to settled in its own "traditions" to take the top honors away from meatboy this year. Putting the flash game it was based on aside, most of the world is being subjected to meatboys genius for the first time this year. This is defintley the year of the meat! hahaha..(so dirty).
Have a great one
I understand what your saying ...absolutley..
But wouldnt you give the nod to the game that is "ballbusting" the genre? Thats usually a more powerful experience when everything else its firing on all cylinders....
All the "genre ballbustin" in the world doesnt mean ANYTHING without quality....and thats what makes meatboy so special!

I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on this game. Unfortunately I don't own no Xbox so I guess a Steam purchase is the way to go for me. I'd rather have it on console of course, but I don't really have a choice unless I get me a Xbox, which is out of the question since I'm planing on upgrading my rig and there is not nearly enough money for both in my tiny little world.
