Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ2) is the highly successful sequel of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive. Put into development not long after the completion of the first game, the title would go on to become one of the most successful video games of all time, turning the franchise into a cultural phenomenon in the west. Introducing Miles "Tails" Prower in the role he was created for, the game was released worldwide on November 24th, 1992. Dubbed "Sonic 2sday," the simultaneous release was an unusual move for the time. The game eventually replaced the original Sonic the Hedgehog as the default pack-in title for the Mega Drive, being bundled with the redesigned Mega Drive II model. The game is also the first in the "Death Egg Saga", a storyline that would continue in the sequels Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles.
Some time after stopping Dr. Eggman once again, Sonic the Hedgehog grows restless, deciding to do what he does best - travel the world, looking for adventure. Climbing into his trusty biplane, the red-and-white Tornado, the blue hedgehog begins flying the skies, looking for places unknown. On nothing more than an impulse, Sonic decides to land on an unassuming island, called West Side Island. Deciding to kick back and explore the isle, Sonic is completely oblivious to the legend connected to the island, and the similarities it has in relation to his adventures on South Island. According to legend, there was once a great and prosperous people who lived on its shores, who achieved their greatness through the use of mysterious, powerful stones. Their peace could have been everlasting if not for a select few who desired to use the stones for their own selfish gains, causing the gods to take away the stones and hide them away on the island...
A few days after landing, Sonic realized that he was being followed by someone. Looking behind him, Sonic spotted a young fox, who immediately hid from the blue hedgehog when he looked his way. Not thinking much of it, Sonic ran off, the fox once again following. The young fox's given name, Miles Prower, was overshadowed by his nickname, "Tails," derived from the fact that he possessed not one but two tails behind him. Often being ridiculed by his peers, "Tails" outlook on life changed immediately once he spotted Sonic running around his home, deciding that he had to follow and emulate his new hero, wanting to be just as cool and confident. No matter where Sonic would go, Miles would try and follow, Sonic eventually accepting the near-constant trailing of the young fox.
Not long after, during a brief moment when "Tails" was exploring the beaches of West Side on his own, he came across the Tornado, glittering in the sun. Spotting it in the distance, he became extremely excited, running as fast as he could towards it. Engrossed in its design, he wondered who the plane belonged to. He didn't have to wait too long when, out of the corner of his eye, the fox spotted the distinct image of Sonic, taking a nap under one of the wings. This newfound knowledge was not given much time to process in "Tails" mind when suddenly a loud explosion echoed through the air, shocking Sonic awake.
Looking beyond the Emerald Hill Zone, a large pillar of fire could be seen, accompanied by a new, yet familiar, army of mechanical robots. It only took a second for Sonic to guess who had caused the explosion, cursing Eggman's name and running into the thick of it. Without hesitation, Miles Prower followed behind, knowing that he had to be right at Sonic's side.
His laugh echoing in the wind, Eggman couldn't help but gloat over his newest plan, being grateful for having the foresight to follow Sonic to West Side Island. Learning of the legend of the island, Eggman came to the realization that the legendary stones talked of could only be the Chaos Emeralds, this island being the true resting place of not only the six from before, but of a seventh as well. Once again wanting the emeralds for himself, Eggman plans on using them to power his latest creation, the Death Egg, a flying fortress orbiting the planet with the potential to be his greatest weapon. With the desire to rule the world fueling the mad doctor, he prepares to once again engage with his greatest enemy, the one force that could possibly spoil his plans.
"The stage is set. Now it's time for you to bring the curtain to a close on this adventure once and for all!"
Game Mechanics
Building upon the engine from the first game, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 kept to the same basic formula as the first game: to overcome a series of obstacles and enemies and reach the end of each "Act," all under the span of ten minutes. Many of the elements that made the first Sonic the Hedgehog unique return, such as the loop-de-loops and curved slopes, while introducing new hazards and level elements like the corkscrews in Emerald Hill Zone and the slot machines in Casino Night Zone, placed inside areas taking full advantage of the pinball side of the physics. With the exception of Metropolis Zone (which has three Acts) and the final three zones of the game (which are one act each), each zone only possesses two acts, although each act in this game is larger than the acts found in Sonic the Hedgehog.
The main form of attack for Sonic is the same as the first game, the ever trusty spin attack that Sonic curls into each time he jumps. Able to hit enemies from any angle as long as spikes or some other projectile is not in the way, he can also curl into this spin on the ground in the same way, by the player pressing down on the control pad as he runs along the terrain. However, the game also introduces a new way to gather up speed in this form without having to build it up. The spin dash, which has since become a staple of the series, allows Sonic to rev up in a static location before he fires off, either destroying enemies in his wake or giving him the momentum to slide up steep slopes and reach higher areas of each level. By pressing and holding down while tapping the jump button, letting go of the control pad allows Sonic to zoom ahead, Dr. Eggman's forces being no match for the blue hedgehog.
As both the title screen and the story suggest, a new character is introduced in the game. Miles "Tails" Prower, by default, follows Sonic around automatically, emulating each move you do. Sometimes helpful and sometimes baffling, he is also given an infinite amount of lives, so if you're able to just miss a hazard with Sonic but "Tails" is less than fortunate, he will return to the screen, using his namesake to fly from the top of the screen down to where Sonic is standing. He also uses this method to catch up to Sonic if the player is fast enough to lose the two-tailed fox. If a second controller is plugged in, another player can control "Tails," making Sonic the Hedgehog 2 the first game with "1.5 player" play. Although given the flying animation, the other player can not activate "Tails" flying ability, nor can they jump on the various monitors that litter each zone. The infinite lives count, however, remains. In the options menu to the game, having "Tails" follow you can be turned on or off, the game also giving you the option to play as "Tails" by himself. Though he can now break monitors when alone, he still can not fly, and must follow the same rules of extra lives as Sonic does in the main game.
Special Stages and Chaos Emeralds return in this game, although both how you access them and how you play through them are completely different from the first Sonic the Hedgehog. The only way to activate them is by hitting the checkpoints in this game, which are Star Posts instead of Lamp Posts. If the player possesses fifty rings while touching the post, a ring of stars will appear for a short time, jumping into them transporting Sonic and "Tails" into the Special Stage. A three-dimensional-esque half pipe that can feel like a roller coaster, the object is to collect the amount of rings the stage announces at the beginning. Each stage is broken up into three parts, and if the player successfully collects rings for all three tries, they will be awarded with one of the Chaos Emeralds. While the last game only had six, Sonic 2 raises the total by one. And while the Chaos Emeralds are not completely necessary to beat the game in a simple run through, they are still needed to view the true ending of the game. As an added incentive, the team behind the game decided to give the players a bonus for collecting all seven Chaos Emeralds. After finding the seventh, and then collecting yet another fifty rings in a zone and jumping up, Sonic will transform into Super Sonic, a golden-hued, buffed out version of the original who is both invincible and super fast. The only downside, though, is the transformation is temporary, and drains Sonic's ring count, returning to his original true blue self once all the rings are gone.
Two Player Mode
Being the second in the series, the team behind the game decided they would try their hand at a competitive, two player mode. Taking the Emerald Hill Zone, Casino Night Zone, Mystic Cave Zone and throwing in the Special Stages, each player controls one of the main characters to the game as they traverse a split-screen form of these classic levels. With Sonic on top and "Tails" on the bottom, they are graded on five criteria for each act: Score, Time, Ring count at the end of the act, Total Ring count (including those lost by being hit), and number of Item Boxes popped open. The player that wins the most out of those five takes the round. Though the standard item boxes from the game are present, there are two that are unique to this mode. The first is a teleportation box, which will switch Sonic and "Tails" position on the map. The second is an Eggman monitor, that will cause whoever pops it open to take a hit. As every monitor on-screen is only static, it is always random as to what will be found inside each monitor. Also of note is that the extra lives in the item boxes are not determined by which character opens it, but by which character's face shows up, so it is entirely possible for the player being Sonic to give "Tails" an extra life, and vice versa.
As each zone only contains two acts, if a tie occurs it will be decided by the competitors in a Special Stage. As these play different from the rest of the game, the only criteria that is graded is the ring count at the end of each segment, the stage still split up into three "rounds." The best two out of three takes the special stage, and subsequently the zone. Even if there are no ties during a run through the two player mode, the Special Stage is still one of the four levels to be chosen during the mode, the same rules applying to it as the other Special Stages. The player who wins the most out of everything is, naturally, the winner.
For those who want their two-player encounters to be even crazier, an option is available to change every monitor in the game to a teleportation monitor.
The following is an explanation on how the scoring process works in the game:
Hitting bumpers: 10 points for each of the first ten hits on any given bumper; after that no more points can be gained from that bumper.
Hitting enemies: (a chain refers to all enemies destroyed until the next time Sonic lands on some form of ground, or releases from a Spin Dash)
Destroying a Dr. Eggman boss robot: 1000 points
Ring bonus at end of level: 100 points for each ring held
Perfect Bonus at end of level: The game stores a list of how many rings are present in each level. Each time you get a lone ring, the game subtracts one from this value (debug rings and Super Ring boxes do not affect this counter). If this value is 0 when you pass the endpost, you receive a 50,000 point bonus. As long as you get all the actual rings in the level, you don't need to get any Super Ring boxes to receive this bonus - you can even get hit and still be eligible.
Time bonus at end of level:
Special scoring in Casino Night Zone:
Special stage: 100 points for each ring held (Sonic's rings as well as Tails', if applicable, both count in this total. An additional 10,000-point bonus is awarded by getting enough rings for the Emerald.

Animals Lose With Ill-Conceived Pet Trends
There have been several stories in the news lately about hundreds of Harry Potter fans becoming "bored" with the pet owls that the popular movie series inspired their parents to purchase as pets for them.
Really? Purchasing an owl for your child because it looked cute in a movie? I have to wonder what thought process is involved with the purchase of an owl as a pet. What did parents think would happen?
Unfortunately, instead of the owls coming with a wand that you wave at them after purchase rendering them "magical" and providing a super cool and efficient system for supernatural mail delivery (and who wouldn't want a nocturnal animal that poops pellets of rat bones), owls are expensive, extremely high maintenance (duh), require a lot of care and responsibility and can live for decades.
To top it off, most have at least a five-foot wing span and need to flap their wings continuously to avoid chest infections.
So, naughty pet-parents are illegally releasing the previously captive pet owls into the wild, where the owls are starving to death or proceeding to kill other smaller owls, thus causing mayhem in the natural order of the universe. Unfortunately this happens with many wild animals that are not good candidates for pets, with tragic results.
Case-in-point: How many people do you know that have purchased cute little bunnies for their children as Easter gifts?
Remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle film in the 1990s? That movie inspired a craze of pet turtles that ended up dumped in rivers, canals and lakes. Why? Because they apparently weren't as cool, mutant and ninja as they were in the movie AND they posed a huge risk for salmonella poisoning in children!
A Japanese cartoon called "Rascal the Raccoon" aired in 1977 about an American boy befriending a raccoon. The outcome? The entire raccoon population of Japan, that's what. The Japan Times reported in 2004: "Owners, fed up with trying to tame the wild species to be cute little critters like the one in the cartoon, dumped them in the wild – where, lacking a natural predator – they have proliferated and are now perceived as pests, occasionally damaging crops and bothering people."
Will we never learn? Do not adopt a "pet" because it's cute or you saw it in a movie, etc. Pet-flings almost always go wrong and always end BADLY for the animal.

Female marathon greats reminisce day before race
By Lauren FitzPatrick Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com October 6, 2012 4:48PM
Women's running pioneers, Joan Benoit Samuelson & Paula Radcliffe spoke at The Hilton in Chicago on the past and future of marathon running. L-r are: Joan Benoit Samuelson and Paula Radcliffe. | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times

Updated: November 8, 2012 12:17PM
Champion marathoner Joan Benoit Samuelson has one little regret about her 1985 Chicago Marathon victory, a year after she took gold at the Los Angeles Olympics: She would have finished a smidge faster.
"I never look at marathon courses before I actually run the course, and that's one time I regret not looking at the course because all of a sudden we made the turn and there was the finish line," she said.
"So whether I would have run 2 [hours] 20 [minutes] at that time, probably not, because I think I would have gone a little bit faster."
She won after two hours, 21 minutes, 21 seconds, on Oct. 20, 1985.
Samuelson, who still holds the fastest time for an American woman at the Chicago Marathon, and the world's fastest female marathoner, Paula Radcliffe of England, powwowed here Saturday morning to talk about speed.
Samuelson, 55, just returned to the Boston Marathon — in its 40th year of welcoming women — together for the first time with her daughter "stride for stride," she said. "And so that was really special."
She had won Boston as a college student in 1979, the first marathon she ever entered.
The fastest woman in the world at the Chicago Marathon remains Radcliffe, who set a time of 2 hours, 17 minutes and 18 seconds in 2002. Her personal best and the women's world record holder for the 26.2 mile race happened in London in 2003 when she finished in 2 hours, 15 minutes and 25 seconds.
Radcliffe's sitting this one out. The 38-year-old just had surgery and hopes to be back to normal training by January.
Might anyone beat her record this year? No, both runners said.
"Records are to be broken and to be moved on, but I don't want it to be. I want it to stand as long as possible," Radcliffe said.
Samuelson added: "We're going to see a two-hour men's marathon before we see somebody break 2:15."

Sony XPERIA L C2105 - Android 4.2.2 - firmware 15.3.A.1.17
Sony XPERIA L is successor of Sony XPERIA U. Phone is not small, but it has attractive design and many functions for regular customers. There are three different colours, in which is phone selling. Below you can find the latest firmware for the phone and also three tutorials/manuals - how to unlock the bootloader, how to relock the bootloader and how to backup the original firmware customization.
First of all one important thing - before you start to do anything with your phone, do the backup of your personal data. It is only for your safety in case that something goes wrong or any mistake happens. In that case you can use the backup to restore the data and try to do everything once again. Each tutorial has been done many times to verify its propriety, so just read carefully all instructions and continue step by step. For each of Sony (Ericsson) XPERIA smartphones we will provide a manual consisting of 4, 5 or 6 "HOW TO" chapters. Our tutorials will be of course updated every time when Sony Mobile publishes anything new, affecting any of our topics. All important files have been stored on my own download server, so there should be no problem with downloading. The major part of every file has been created by myself and every file has been tested on the corresponding phone. In this guideline related to the Sony XPERIA L you can find some photos and videos showing how to proceed, but the most important thing are the below written manuals. All referenced files are determined for Sony XPERIA L C2105. So, what can you expect in terms of mentioned manuals / tutorials?

Riddick - What's it all about?
I'm not sure if you noticed, but the internet has become quite popular recently. In fact, if you're reading this, chances are you're on the internet right now, and you might not even know it. Surprise!
MARI for your Mac!
Here at Escape, when teaching our compositing professional class – a question that always comes up is, "is Mari available for the Mac?" It gives me great pleasure to announce that it now is!
Men in Suits - A 'must see' for any special effects lover.
This film has grabbed our interest this week, mainly because we can't believe we've not seen it yet. The documentary film 'Men in Suits' hit screens last year and we hear it's a must see for all special effects fans. One reviewer even suggests that he will revoke your 'geek license' if you've not taken the time to soak it in.
"Two years from now, it's going to be one of the most badass things you've ever seen in your life"
The role of VFX in modern blockbusters has for a long time gone unnoticed, but since the recent furore at the Oscars it seems more and more people are speaking out about the importance of VFX and henceforth, the artists that create the magic.
Behind the scenes of some seriously iconic movies
I think it's fair to say, when it comes to films- everyone is a fan of behind the scenes photographs, especially when they're of some of the most iconic movies of all time, AND they show the making of some of the most well-known scenes ever.
Next Hansel & Gretel promises to be 'Pretty Insane'
If you caught Hansel and Gretel at the cinema a few months ago, you'll probably remember it for the imaginative violence, tongue in cheek dialogue and an out of place Jeremy Renner.
Fast & Furious 6 – One epic finale sequence!.
The recent release of Fast and Furious 6 sees a refreshing change of setting - to the streets of London, which is fairly apt given that the lasting impression on the audience seems to be the epic VFX scenes, many of which were created right here London at Double Negative.
VFX that pass the test of time?
Doctor Who is a real household name for many people who grew up wanting to understand what VFX were all about, nowadays we consider the 70's and 80's visuals rather novelty, but it's worth considering that a lot of these opinions are derived from unfair context of hindsight.
Webinar Recording: More to VFX than just Hollywood!
Last week we were joined by Junior Lighting TD and Escape graduate Alastair Cross for a webinar that shows another side to VFX. The Hollywood side of VFX is probably why most of us want to work in the CG industry, but CG artists are putting their skills and knowledge to good use in lots of different areas. If you missed this webinar, the great news is we recorded it and the recording is now available to watch on our YouTube channel.
3D Printing to hit the masses sooner than we think?
We do love a good Kickstarter project, and with 3D printing being all the rage of late, this one in particular caught our eye.
Watching sport is set to get a hell of a lot better - brace yourselves for bullet time!
Being a sports fan, I have been consistently impressed with improvements in viewer experience over the last few years. Technology has improved the situation of the armchair fan tenfold, making the long trip to their ground of choice at the weekend, increasingly less appealing.

FREE Kindle No1 bestseller (beating 'Star Wars') download for 32 hours
How to get into and survive Film, Advertising and TV post-production is topping the charts on free Kindle downloads, out-doing Star Wars. Pretty epic! If this tells us anything, it's that there are still a healthy number of talented people looking to break into the post side of production. The author of this very popular book is none other than Klaudija Cermak, a compositing tutor who previously taught here at Escape Studios, and she certainly knows her stuff!

We were contacted a few weeks back by long-time friend of Escape Studios, Haz Dulull, who has recently been signed up as a Director for feature film representation by I AM Entertainment, (nice one Haz!) and delighted us even more by announcing the release of his latest project which went online last month.
A Career in VFX… a world of possibility!
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a career in Visual Effects is far from boring. As far as careers go, this is an industry that keeps us on our toes, offering us a never ending number of new creative project ideas to be realised, fun new problems to be solved and new technologies to be developed. This is an industry that constantly pushes us to learn and discover more.

Discover the glories of Finland and Norway on this Norwegian vacation as you traverse a pristine landscape of steep, rugged mountains, narrow ocean inlets, and vivid blue fjords. During this comprehensive journey, you'll explore Finland's Lapland region—a realm of astonishing beauty—where you will encounter the enduring culture of the indigenous Sami people. Then, cruise through the Norwegian fjords by coastal ship for five nights near the top of the world, stepping ashore to discover small, colorful cities and quiet fishing villages. Once you disembark your ship, you'll visit Bergen, a maritime wharf of charming restaurants, gift shops, and museums. And, new for 2014, you'll have an extra night to wind down your explorations in Oslo, Norway's capital, a nature lover's dream of 40 islands and over 300 lakes. Plus you can join two new optional trip extensions to Stockholm, Sweden, and Copenhagen, Denmark, to round out your Scandinavian saga. As you travel—by both land, and sea—you'll experience Nordic cultures with enduring ties to nature's majesty.
hiddenDay 1Depart U.S.
Depart today on your flight to Helsinki, Finland. Please refer to your individual air itinerary for exact departure and arrival times.
hiddenDay 2Arrive Helsinki, Finland
You arrive in Helsinki today to begin your Norwegian vacation. Upon arrival at the airport, you'll be met and assisted with the transfer to your hotel.
Helsinki's historic center dates from the early 19th century, when Russia ruled Finland and designated this city as the country's new capital. As a result, the city has both a Russian look and a more modern layout than other European capitals. Graced with many buildings by noted Finnish architects such as Alvar Aalto, Helsinki today is a masterpiece of urban design.
You'll enjoy a guided orientation walk, giving you the lay of the land in your Helsinki neighborhood.
Tonight, get acquainted with your Program Director and your fellow travelers—including those returning from their pre-trip extension to St. Petersburg, Russia or Stockholm, Sweden—over a Welcome Dinner at your hotel.
hiddenDay 3Helsinki city tour
This morning, explore Helsinki on an included city tour.
Among the highlights is Senate Square, where you'll discover many ornate Empire Neo-Classical buildings, including the 19th-century Lutheran Cathedral, whose central tower dominates the city. Like Times Square in New York City, this is the place where residents gather for celebration of special occasions, such as New Year's Eve and Independence Day (December 6th). Admire the onion domes of Uspenski Cathedral, the most important Russian Orthodox church in Finland. As you wind your way through the city, you'll notice how the sea is an integral part of Helsinki; the city spreads out onto islands, peninsulas, and along coves among which boats of all descriptions navigate.
The afternoon is yours. If you want to explore Helsinki further, you'll find many attractive options within easy walking distance, or with a short ride on the city's convenient public trams. Stroll through Esplanade Park, which is flanked by a wide variety of shops, many of which feature distinctively Finnish products. Head for the National Gallery to see Finnish art from the 18th-20th centuries, take a boat excursion on the harbor, or head for the city's open-air folk museum.
Spend the evening as you wish, and enjoy dinner on your own.
hiddenDay 4Helsinki • Fly to Ivalo
After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your flight to Ivalo, in northern Finland. Please note: On select departures, when a direct flight to Ivalo is not available, you will fly instead to Rovaniemi, and transfer overland to Ivalo (an approximately four-hour drive).
Ivalo is 170 miles north of the Arctic Circle. After you land, you can marvel at its boreal wilderness—a popular hideaway for skiers and hikers alike—during an orientation drive led by your Program Director.
Ivalo is also a gateway to Lapland, the home of the Sami, the indigenous people who have lived in northern Scandinavia since prehistoric times. Lapland, also called Samiland, spans northern parts of Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Although the Sami are a minority of today's population in northern Finland, their cultural traditions endure.
Enjoy dinner tonight at your hotel.
hiddenDay 5Ivalo • Siida Museum • Sami-style dinner
After breakfast this morning, we ride north through Lapland to Inari. Here you discover more about Lapland's fascinating uniqueness at the Siida Museum, which focuses on Sami and northern Lapland culture and nature.
After lunch on your own, you'll visit with a Sami family, where you'll learn about the importance of reindeer and their role in the life of the Sami. You'll also get a taste of local culture during this evening's included Sami-style dinner. Traditional Sami cuisine often features reindeer meat and woodland fruits, such as cloudberries, with cheese.
hiddenDay 6Ivalo • Transfer to Kirkenes, Norway • Coastal cruising
This morning, we travel through rural Lapland and cross from Finland into Norway to Kirkenes, a port near the Russian border. Strategically significant for its iron ore resources and its location near the Russian port of Murmansk, Kirkenes was occupied by 100,000 Nazi troops during World War II.
In the late morning, board your Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Voyages ship in time for lunch onboard. The ship sets sail in the early afternoon to begin one of the world's most scenic coastal cruises, with the islands and mountains of Norway as your constant companions. Your ship calls at many ports, and at some of them (definitely in Trondheim on Day 10) you'll have time to go ashore for sightseeing. However, this is a working vessel that also delivers cargo on a strict schedule, and some port calls may not allow you any time on shore.
hiddenDay 7Hammerfest • Tromso • Coastal cruising
As you cruise along the coast of the Norwegian county of Finnmark today, you sail through a region filled with "northernmosts." First, the ship calls at Hammerfest, Europe's northernmost city, where the midnight sun shines from mid-May to late July.
Tonight—midnight—the ship also calls at Tromso, a city of more than 50,000 that sprawls across three fjord-indented islands. This is the largest city in northern Norway, and it has been the starting point for expeditions by famous Arctic explorers, including Norway's own Roald Amundsen, who in the 1900s became the first person to reach both the North and South poles. Tromso is also home to the northernmost university in Europe. The city comes alive during the long hours of summer daylight as the locals (including 13,000 university students) enjoy the Arctic's brightest season.
hiddenDay 8Stokmarknes • Svolvaer • Stamsund • Coastal cruising
Cruise south today, reaching the Lofoten Islands, where towering mountain peaks rise sharply from the sea to form dramatic vistas in the arctic light. This is one of Scandinavia's scenic highlights, which has inspired generations of artists.
You'll stop at Stokmarknes, a small town located on the island of Hadsel, and home to the Coastal Express Museum. Museum exhibits feature photographs, model ships, films, and paintings displaying the history of Norwegian coastal steamer traditions.
The ship will then call at Svolvaer on the island of Austvagoy, beneath the two-horned mountain called the Svolvaer Goat (Svolvaergita). Around the town, you'll see many fish-drying racks, evidence of the importance of the historically rich fishing grounds in this area.
You'll then cruise to Stamsund, a small village known for its colorful rorbuer, traditional Norwegian fishermen's shacks.
hiddenDay 9Sandnessjoen • Bronnoysund • Rorvik • Coastal cruising
From the Lofotens, your cruise takes you across the broad Vestfjord. This morning, you'll cross the Arctic Circle.
Call next at Sandnessjoen, located on the island of Alsten, with soaring views of the De Syv Sostre ("The Seven Sisters") Mountains. You'll then cruise to Bronnoysund, a town that has seen a rise in economic growth in recent years—including serving as home to the largest limestone mine in Northern Europe, as well as prosperous industries like wood-processing.
You'll continue south to Rorvik. The fjords in this area, like many along the cruise route, are a birdwatcher's paradise
hiddenDay 10Trondheim city tour • Molde • Coastal cruising
Today, you'll call at ports displaying amazing contrasts between old and new. First, enjoy an included tour of medieval Trondheim. Founded in AD 997, this was once the capital of Norway, as well as an important pilgrimage site for followers of St. Olav, a Norwegian king and Catholic martyr. The city's old veitene (narrow alleys) wind among its markets, Archbishop's Palace, Old Town Bridge, and historic 17th-century warehouses.
You'll pass the towering Nidaros Cathedral—one of the country's most impressive Gothic buildings—which was founded in 1070 on St. Olav's burial mound. A national sanctuary, it's the site where Norway's kings are still blessed today; it also houses the crown jewels. Resume your cruise by sailing out through the beautiful Trondheimsfjord.
The last port-of-call today is Molde, Norway's "City of Roses," scenically situated near the mouth of the Romsdalsfjord. Rebuilt in the aftermath of World War II, Molde today is well known among jazz aficionados for the international music festival it hosts each year in mid-July.
hiddenDay 11Disembark ship • Bergen city tour • Laksevag museum and historical society
Today is your last day of cruising. You'll enjoy your morning at leisure.
On the final leg of your cruise, you'll cruise past the mouth of the Sognefjord, Norway's longest and deepest fjord, as well as a beautiful archipelago of islands as you draw nearer to Bergen.
Disembark the ship and set out on a tour of Bergen. The Bryggen (Wharf) area contains the fascinating historical buildings that inspired UNESCO to declare the city a World Heritage Site. Built after the Great Fire of 1702, these old wooden counting houses and warehouses with their stately gables stretch along the harbor and narrow alleyway and once served as the headquarters for the Hanseatic League. Conclude your tour with a visit to the Laksevag Historical Museum, built on the site of a World War II bunker, where you'll meet with members of the local historical society during an exclusive Discovery Series event.
After you check in at your hotel, you'll enjoy a brief walking tour of the vicinity. Dinner is on your own this evening.
hiddenDay 12Bergen • Optional Old & New Norway tour
Enjoy a day to experience more of Bergen at leisure. You could explore the 13th-century Bergen Cathedral, the charming Old Town, and the Aquarium, known for its rare penguins.
Or, join us for an Old & New Norway optional tour. You'll first see the Visitor Center in Oygarden, which chronicles how life in this part of Norway has changed dramatically during the last century. After a light lunch of sandwiches and lapper (Norwegian pancakes), included with the cost of the optional tour, you'll view the Kollsnes gas-pumping station, which is responsible for sending natural gas to consumers throughout Europe, before returning to Bergen in the early afternoon.
The remainder of the afternoon and evening are yours to explore more of the city on your own.
hiddenDay 13Bergen • Norway in a Nutshell tour • Oslo
Today, embark on an included Norway in a Nutshell tour, making discoveries as you travel by ferry, train, and motorcoach. Board a ferry at Gudvangen for a panoramic cruise on the Sognefjord to Flam, where you'll hop aboard the vintage Flam Railway for a spectacular ride across the steep and narrow Flam Valley. You'll admire waterfalls and glacier-carved ravines as you ride towards Myrdal, where you'll board another train which will take you to Oslo. Arrive in Oslo this evening and check into your hotel.
Dinner is on your own in Oslo tonight.
Please note: Your itinerary for the day is subject to change based on available train schedules.
hiddenDay 14Oslo • Optional War & Peace: Norway's Story tour
Today is yours to explore Oslo as you please. You may choose to visit one of Oslo's many museums, like the National Gallery, home to an impressive art collection, or Oslo City Hall, where the Nobel Peace Prize is presented every tenth of December.
Or, you can join an optional half-day tour this morning to experience War & Peace: Norway's Story.
In the past century, Norway's history has been, at turns, both tragic and triumphant. Today's optional tour takes you to three museums and a local landmark to learn more about the highs and lows of this proud Scandinavian nation's recent history.
This evening, join your fellow travelers at your hotel for a Farewell Dinner to recount your favorite memories from your Norwegian vacation.
hiddenDay 15Oslo • Return to U.S.
Today, you'll transfer to the Oslo airport for your flight home. Or begin your post-trip extension in Oslo, Norway or Copenhagen, Denmark.

One of the speakers was astronaut Pat Forrester, who says "I've been living in D.C. since I was a little boy. I never miss an opportunity to come in here. I'm always amazed at what we as humans have done in exploration."
The retired Army colonel, a graduate of West Springfield High School, flew on shuttle missions in 2001, 2007 and 2009. According to NASA, he has spent more than 950 hours in space, including four spacewalks. He currently works in NASA's astronaut office.
"There's a misconception out there that the space program's over because we've retired the space shuttle, but we've got a very active space program both with putting humans on the International Space Station, but also as we begin to go beyond low-Earth orbit," Forrester says.
ILC Dover, which has made space suits for NASA spacewalks since 1962, had a display with a suit from the Apollo era and another from today. The company's Bill Ayrey describes a space suit as "like a miniature spaceship" because of all the technology built in.
But the colors of a space suit are important too, he says. "The white color helps keep the suit cooler; you don't want to absorb that heat. And then of course, the gold visor. The visor is actual gold material, and it'll reflect that sunlight away from the suit. In space, it is extremely bright out there and you need that visor to see what you're doing. And if you're working toward the sun, it helps quite a bit."
In addition to hearing from astronauts and seeing exhibits, kids got the chance to make their own mission patches with stickers and markers, and make comets with aluminum foil, a small foam ball and a lace tail on top of a wooden stick.
In honor of May 4th, the Washington Metropolitan Area LEGO Users Group included some Star Wars-inspired creations among the custom models based on actual spacecraft like the Voyager II and Mars Curiosity rover.
"Those two were actually designed by a real-life former NASA engineer. He worked on the Curiosity rover," says Matthew Bowman, of Silver Spring.
He says the complicated displays involve parts from actual Lego sets compiled into custom designs.
This year and part of next year marks the 40th anniversary of Skylab, the first manned space station. A model of it sits in one of the main exhibit areas, right underneath what was planned to be the second Skylab.
David DeVorkin, the museum's senior curator of history of astronomy and the space sciences, says "Skylab had a purpose. Other than to establish how to live and work in space they had a whole range of scientific things to do." He says he's most involved with the Apollo telescope mount - which got its name because it was made from used Apollo parts, as was Skylab.
DeVorkin says some of Skylab's key research focused on the sun and solar flares.
"The flares eject enormous amount of material into space, and if it's directed toward us it's called a coronal mass ejection and that's not good."
In 1859, even before cell phones and satellites, it's believed a solar storm led to a major disruption of telegraph service. "In a modern society, we depend on a lot of electronic stuff, and one of these big solar flares could just fry us," DeVorkin says.
The aim of Space Day is to encourage kids to pursue careers in science, technology engineering and math.
Forrester calls his three missions to help build the International Space Station "a great experience, but also a unique opportunity to represent the citizens of our country."

Includes Two Bed Rails (Suitable for use on Cot Beds & Single Beds)
Order in the next 15 hours 13 minutes and select next working day for delivery to mainland UK on Tuesday
This Summer Sure & Secure Double Bedrail is an essential item for your child when transitioning them from their cot to a bed. The Double Bedrail has a unique tri-fold feature that allows parents to fold the bedrail and store it away while not in use.
The fold down feature also allows easy access to the child and to change the bed linen. The Double Bedrail is easy to install.
Great product highly recommend it.
Exvellent product, great to find a double sided bed guard and really nice and long so it covers most of the bed.
Bought this product for use with a caravan bunk bed. Really pleased.
I needed bed supports for our 20 month old. He's not in a bed yet but sometimes if he's poorly, I get him out of his cot and get into the single bed with him, I now want to be able to leave him in there if I need to. This product is great, it really secures them in but also allows them to exit the bed if they need to. I'm using them on a standard single bed and they fit just fine. They're exactly what I wanted.
We bought this for my son who's 21 months. We had to move him from a cot into a bed earlier than planned as I had surgery on my leg and couldn't lift him in n out of cot easily. I like this product as its high enough that he couldn't easily topple over it and its long enough that it deters him from climbing out. If u put the guard against the top of the bed, There's a space at the bottom for the child to climb out. The only downside for us was that, as my sons bed is a cotbed, it's quite low so we can't use the hinges to drop the side down as it gets stuck on the floor before its down properly. But like I've said above there's space at the bottom of the bed.

Easy to setup and gets the job done By Harris on 11/23/2014Harris would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this reactor with the MJ 1200 pump and really like how easy it was to set up and how well the product works. This is a heavy duty reactor and I don't see it breaking anytime soon. Also, the MJ pump is extremely quiet. Overall a great combination.
I like it By jmuuell on 11/10/2014jmuuell would recommend this product to a friendwell made good price. I would recommend getting a extra ball valve if you are not using it with a sump and plan to mount it below the tank. And I would recommend a better manual
love it! By Jeremy on 10/27/2014Jeremy would recommend this product to a friendFor the price, this is awesome! It works great, has made my tank WAAAY clearner... only thing i dont like is the plastic hanging bracket.. just feels flimsy... but aside from that.. love it!
Worth every penny! By blert on 10/27/2014blert would recommend this product to a friendIf you need one, buy this one. Setup is cake, quality is top notch.
Reactors overall impressions By Justin on 10/13/2014Justin would recommend this product to a friendAt first I was a little concerned about using the push type fittings and their sealing abilities (just no previous experience) but they went together super easy. Make sure you push them in ALL the way. First section goes in easy, second half takes a little more pushing. Once up and running I could tell my water was a lot more clear. I also took my filstar canister out of my system now that I am using carbon & GFO how they were meant to be. A very cost effective way to rid your tank of dissolved solids and toxins.
Solid Reactor By Brett on 9/16/2014Brett would recommend this product to a friendJust got this a couple weeks ago so time will tell about durability but it feels solid. It's easy to work with and adjust for flow.
Really durable and complete. By Felix on 8/1/2014Felix would recommend this product to a friendI prefer to run 2 singles than a dual, that way i can shut one off at a time to change media. These are great quality and really impressed with small ball valve and tubing. I'm pretty ruff with these and they hold up great. Really complete out of the box to connect to plumbing of your choice.
simple no frills reactor that just plain works By Ricky on 7/16/2014Ricky would recommend this product to a friendI have three of these on my tanks and they are perfect for the job in the tank room. Less than 1/4 cost of other reactors I've used and a lot easier than some for maintenance. These will be used exclusively in our coral farm operation coming up this year.
Easy setup works great By MMM923 on 6/24/2014MMM923 would recommend this product to a friendWhen i decided to upgrade my refugium I figured why not add a carbon reactor. I mean after all who enjoys rinsing carbon filling a bag (as it drips across the floor) and hoping that you are getting it enough flow? Water was clear with this method but with the reactor it is MUCH more clear. The unit it sturdy, hoses could be a little longer but most people could get away with the 2 3ft lengths. I am happy with my purchase however I think about the times I have "cheaped" out in this hobby and it always bites me - for a few bucks more I could have had the dual... Oh well, the single and dual are priced cheap enough so unlike many other times I have "cheaped" out this time wont cost me as much. Im the past I could rinse nearly any brand of carbon and it always seemed to have "fines" in it. This reactor hooked to a maxi 1200 took less than 1 gallon of water to go from black to grey to clear (just like they show in the video). Great product BRS!
Awesome Reactor By Michael on 6/17/2014Michael would recommend this product to a friendRun a mix of GFO and activated carbon, will most likely upgrade to sister model of duel reactors once I get a bigger tank. Must have for all your water clarity needs!

Previously Asked Questions
by Robbie on October 5, 2013, @5:13 PM
Does the MJ1200 come with some kind of per filter so I'm not sucking up gunk in my pump?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Robbie,
The pump does not come with them in the box but they are available (and suggested). I have included a link below:
by Daniel on November 7, 2013, @5:31 AM
Is this the same as the one for use with bio pellets? Just with foam pads, or is the cartridge different?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Daniel,
The biopellet reactor doesn't have foam pads and it also includes fittings for a larger pump (bigger pump is needed for biopellets) wheras the gfo/carbon reactor only comes with an adapter for the cobalt pumps.
by Landon on October 2, 2013, @5:30 AM
When changing the filter media in th BRS media reactor, what are the steps that need to be taken? I was conserned about getting water everywhere when unscrewing the lid of the reactor to change out media. Thank you BRS!
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Landon,
Changing the media is actually really easy. You just want to make sure that the pump is off and then you unscrew the bottom canister. While you might spill a few drops if your careful almost all of the water will stay in the bottom canister and you can carry the canister media and water to the sink to drain it and replace the media. You can leave the main bracket mounted, the pump in the tank, etc.
by Paul on October 8, 2013, @2:04 PM
Can this be run inline with the biopellet reactor? What kind of flow rates would be required?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Paul,
You would want to run it separately from a biopellet reactor. The two medias require different rates of flow and would have negative effects on each other :-)
by eric on September 12, 2013, @10:26 AM
how much total combined media will single reactor hold carbon & gfo together...
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Eric,
The max capacity for the reactor would be a total of 3 cups of media if it doesn't need to tumble (like carbon/gfo mix). If you were actually maxing out the reactor though you might want to consider a larger pump then the standard mj1200.
by Steven on January 24, 2014, @3:13 PM
Do you sell replacement foam pieces to hold the media in place? Mine have lost their spring.
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Steven,
We sure do! You can find them right here:
by Kevin on September 9, 2013, @1:37 PM
Will this hang on the back of my DT? If not can you recommend a quality HOB model and pump?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Kevin,
The BRS reactor does not hang on the back. Units that hang on the back aren't as common, the phosban reactor is the model most folks will use in that situation. The same cobalt mj1200 is a great pump option for it as well.
by Xing on January 26, 2014, @1:54 AM
What is the difference between this one and the brs biopellet reactor? Can I use this one to run biopelletes?
Bulk Reef Supply The biopellet reactor doesn't have sponges and comes with fittings to adapt to larger size pumps (which are generally necessary with biopellet reactors). This reactor will physically hold them but wouldn't come with the fittings for larger size pumps.
The BRS GFO & Carbon Reactor features several distinct advantages over other brands.
- Ultra-transparent media cartridge allows for clear viewing of reactor media
- Heavy duty plastic construction
- High quality easy to use double O-Ring push-connect fittings
- Easy to operate, clean and maintain
- Filter wrench included
- (2) 3 Ft. sections of tubing
- High quality ball valve for precise tuning
- Ability to run carbon and GFO at the same time
- Instantly attaches to popular pumps like Maxi-Jets using included push connect fittings
- 1/2" fittings and ports throughout reduce head pressure and provide ample flow rates
- Holds three cups of carbon (Approx. 300g) or two cups of GFO (Approx 290g)
- Dimensions: 14"H x 8.5"W x 5.5"
- Pump (optional) and media sold separately

Report: Rolls-Royce Ghost to spawn coupe, convertible, long-wheelbase versions
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Feb 17th, 2010 at 2:28PM
Rolls-Royce introduced the Ghost sedan to the world a scant six months ago, but there's already talk about expanding the model range beyond the traditional four-door variant. Autocar reports that sources have revealed plans to create coupe, convertible, and even long-wheelbase versions of the new Ghost, which we will likely see in the form of concept cars over the next few years. Unlike the Phantom family, which includes both short- and long-wheelbase sedans, coupe, and convertible Drophead Coupé, Rolls-Royce won't necessarily use the Ghost name for all of the new vehicles that...

Rare footage of the debut flight of the world's first jet fighter highlights this look at the last-ditch efforts of the Nazi air force.
In the closing months of World War II, as Allied tanks closed on Berlin and the world awaited the inevitable collapse of the Nazi regime, German scientists and engineers worked desperately to develop new weapons that might allow them to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. They came closer than anyone realized at the time.
LUFTWAFFE 1946 is an eye-opening look at the weapons the Germans were working on at the close of the war. See rare footage of the first-ever flight of the ME 262, the world's first operational jet fighter. Discover how the British foiled German attempts to buy minerals from Turkey that would have made the ME 262 a far more effective weapon. Find out how captured technology helped the U.S. Air Force develop post-war weapons, and see footage of U.S.-made V-1 ""buzzbombs"" being tested for use against Japan. And learn of abandoned German plans that might have swayed the outcome of the war, including long-range bombing attacks on the U.S. mainland.
Filled with previously classified footage, this is a compelling look at the last-ditch efforts of a dying regime that nonetheless changed the face of warfare.

Local schools among beneficiaries of drug fund
South Adams Elementary and High School and the Adams Central Community Schools Student Assistance Program are among the 2013 Drug Free Communities Fund beneficiaries for the upcoming year.
Melissa Brite, representing the county's Substance Abuse Awareness Council, recently released those county agencies and schools that will benefit this year from the local Drug Free Communities Fund.
"This fund is made up of fines imposed by the court for alcohol and drug offenses," said Brite. "In 2006 and 2011, we were awarded a Drug Free Communities Support Program Grant. The Boys and Girls Club of Adams County, Inc., serves as the fiscal agent.
"The Substance Abuse Awareness Council provides yearly grant opportunities from the Local Drug Free Communities Fund to agencies in Adams County to help address alcohol, tobacco and other drug issues in our community," continued Brite.
Locally, the funds have been awarded to the South Adams Elementary and High School to support field trips to McMillan Health Center to help fifth graders learn facts about substance abuse. In addition, the funding enables senior high students to attend a three-hour course to re-enforce what they have been taught and to share that information with younger students.
In addition, the South Adams Substance Abuse awareness team is being funded to carry out eight parties for middle school students and to show kids that parties can be fun without the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
"The Adams Central Community Schools Student Assistance program is being given money to help fund 'Just Say No' in the elementary, Project Journey in the middle school and Insight, which is offered as part of a school-wide policy in grades kindergarten through the senior class for those who violate school policy," said Brite.
Other funds have gone to the Adams County Law Enforcement Fund to be used to assist the county law enforcement agencies with equipment or other tools to assist with investigations and ultimately to help increase conviction rates.
Funding also is being supplied to the Adams Wells Crisis Center to provide in-house counseling programs for residential and outreach clients through Adams Behavioral Health to address mental illness and depression experienced by victims of family violence and the role substance abuse plays in battering. Information is provided through substance abuse education, counseling and support group services.
"I can't put into words how helpful this can be to our clients," commented Angie Gunsett, executive director of the Crisis Center. "Many of those who come for help have suffered violence motivated by alcohol-related problems. It's amazing how lives can be changed through alcohol and addictions counseling."
Brite noted that funding also supports MAPPS (Midwest Addictions, Psychiatric and Psychological Services) to supplement treatment costs for substance abuse clients who meet the poverty guidelines so that they may gain the adaptive skills that are essential to maintaining recovery from substance abuse.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The city of Syracuse has been making infrastructure improvements to school areas since 2009, but what about making safe space for students who walk and bike to school?
Mayor Stephanie Miner announced a more than $380,000 grant that will help develop safe walkways, called greenways, to neighborhoods and schools. The funding will be used to construct greenways that will connect Bellevue, Roberts, and Danforth Magnet schools.
Syracuse's transportation planner said, given the nation's obesity epidemic, now is a great time to implement physical activity into children's lives.
"If we could find way to encourage children to be walking and biking and basically have them incorporate that into their lives at a young age, maybe they'll be more likely to incorporate into their lives as they grow up and have healthier living in general," Paul Mercurio, Transportation Planner.
Mercurio said this is the first grant awarded by the DOT for greenways in the Northeast.
