Prescription Google Glass will cost over $1,725
Google Glass is expensive. $1,500 for a prototype/developer model is nothing to sneeze at. And if you want Google Glass with prescription frames, it's going cost you — big time.
If you have good vision, wearing Google Glass isn't an issue. If you wear contacts, wearing Google Glass isn't an issue, either. And if you have small-ish glasses, wearing Google Glass over them might work. But if you're blind as a bat and can't walk out the door without your glasses, then chances are, wearing Google Glass has been impossible.
Google's new "Titanium Collection" for Glass hopes to put the wearable computer on more faces — if you can afford it. The collection has four frames (see gallery below). Each frame will cost $225 without the prescription lenses. And you'll need to either own or buy a pair of Google Glass ($1500) to attach them to. Google also introduced two new sunglass frames that can be attached to Glass.
Google says it's not getting into the prescription lens business. Instead, it's partnering up with select eyecare professionals to train them on how to craft and fit lenses onto its fancy frames.
Total cost for Glass with frames: $1725 plus tax plus however much it costs to get your prescription lenses at an optometrist. I don't know about you, but that's a lot of money. I could live with my pair of $99 Warby Parkers and my iPhone just fine.
Don't get me wrong, I think the new frames are stylish and make Glass look less cyborg-like and more approachable/stylish, but $1725+ is outrageous. Unless you're filthy rich, nobody in their right mind would buy a smartphone accessory for that kind of money.
Posh design is one thing, but price is also another. The original iPhone was gorgeous, but it was incredibly expensive. It wasn't until the price was lowered and the design honed that the iPhone really took off with the masses. I forsee the same future for Glass, whenever the final retail version launches.

So were are getting more ice because the ice shelves are melting faster?
Photograph by Paul Nicklen, National Geographic
Published March 29, 2013
It's a global warming paradox.
As air and sea temperatures rise, Arctic sea ice is rapidly and uniformly dwindling. In 2012, Arctic sea ice declined so much that the loss "utterly" obliterated the previous record, set in 2007, according to the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center.
As of 2012, the area of Arctic sea ice around the North Pole had shrunk to 1.58 million square miles (4.1 million square kilometers)—the smallest measurement since 1979, when satellite observations began.
But in Antarctica, where sea ice is more scattered and driven by wind and waves, there's another story—ice is increasing in places.
In September of last year, satellite data indicated that Antarctica was surrounded by the greatest area of sea ice ever recorded in the region: 7.51 million square miles (19.44 million square kilometers), according to the center. (Related: "Antarctic Sea Ice Hits Record ... High?")
Previous studies pointed to snow: Global warming has warmed Antarctic air, and warmer air holds more moisture, which in turn creates more precipitation. That means more snow is falling on Antarctica, and more of the white stuff makes the top layers of the ocean less salty and thus less dense. These layers became more stable, preventing warm currents in the deep ocean from rising and melting sea ice.
Now, a new study has pinpointed another culprit: melting ice shelves. As ice shelves that ring the southernmost continent disintegrate in warming temperatures, the fresh water that flows from them accumulates in a cool
and fresh surface layer on top of the ocean. This cool layer then shields the surface ocean from the warmer, deeper waters that are melting the ice shelves.
The study "shows that global warming can cause regional cooling, and that's quite counterintuitive," said study leader Richard Bintanja, of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute. (See a map of the impact of global warming worldwide.)
"Most people think if you warm the whole system, it will warm everywhere," he said.
Also counterintuitively, a colder Antarctica may contribute to a rise in sea levels. Colder temperatures mean less snow on the ice sheets, which makes more water stay in the ocean, he pointed out.
Overall, loss of polar ice has contributed about 11.1 millimeters (0.03 feet) to global sea levels since 1992, research shows. Sea levels are rising at a rate of 3.2 millimeters a year. (See pictures of sea level rise.)
Ice Shelves to Blame?
In researching the Antarctic conundrum, Bintanja and colleagues noted routine observations showing that the deepest parts of the ocean off Antarctica are warming.
The team also found research showing that some ice shelves in Antarctica extend up to 0.62 mile (one kilometer) deep into the ocean. The deep warm water can easily come into contact with a shelf and melt it from below.
These observations led the scientists to suggest that the resulting meltwater rises to the surface-fresh water is lighter than saltwater-and forms a cold shallow layer that prevents the warm water from below to mix upward, thus cooling the surface layer and allowing more sea ice to form. (Test your ocean IQ.)
A climate model behaved in the same way, reinforcing the theory, said Bintanja, whose study appears March 31 in the journal Nature Geoscience.
What's more, the team said their new theory can account for most of the sea ice expansion. For instance, a statistical model suggested that other factors, such as precipitation and winds, are responsible for only about 25 percent of sea ice growth.
"A Complicated Place"
Walt Meier, of the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado, said the new study is "pretty interesting—it's something that I haven't seen before."
But he's more cautious about the study's claim that melting ice shelves account for the overall trend, he said. (Read "The Big Thaw" in National Geographic magazine.)
Sea ice can be found far from the edges of the continent, especially in winter when the ice is at its maximum cover, he noted.
"When ice is way far from the coast, the shelf water seems unlikely to have a major effect" on making more sea ice, he said—rather, melting ice shelves may give sea ice formation "a head start."
Noted study leader Bintanja: "We tested this with our climate model, and the effect of meltwater does extend all the way to the sea ice front."
Overall, Meier said, all of the dynamics in Antarctica—from wind to temperature to weather—makes it difficult to ferret out the facts.
"It's a complicated place."
So were are getting more ice because the ice shelves are melting faster?
Perhaps we are postponing the ice age that the elitists predicted back in the 70s. An ice age would be much more devastating than global warming.
hmmm. . . .By this logic, Antarctica would have no ice
during glacial periods (Ice ages) due to the lack of moisture in the cold air.
I had a great history prof who stated well this situation: "When you put your ear to the ground and hear the beating of hooves, think horses, not zebras."
Stay calm and worry not of CO2.
Changes in oceanic pH over the last 25 million years :http://metaworks.pangaea.de/download.php?fileid=252
..::"Ocean Acidification is now irreversible... at least on timescales of at least... TENS of THOUSANDS of years...
Even with stabilisation of atmospheric CO2 at 450 ppm, Ocean Acidification will have profound impacts (death and extinction) on many marine systems.
LARGE and rapid reductions of global CO2 emissions are needed globally by at LEAST 50% by 2050.
Analysis of past events in Earth's geologic history suggests that chemical recovery (normal pH for LIFE in the Ocean) will take TENS of THOUSANDS of years - while the recovery of ecosystem function and biological diversity (LIFE AS WE KNOW IT) can take much longer. (MILLIONS OF YEARS)
..:: "Every day, 70 MILLION TONS of CO2 are released into Earth's atmosphere. ( remaining in the atmosphere for thousands of years )
..:: "Every day, 20 MILLION TONS of that CO2 are absorbed into the OCEANS, thereby increasing the overall ACIDITY of the OCEANS.
By 2100, Ocean acidity will increase another 150 to 200 hundred percent.
This is a dramatic change in the acidity of the oceans. And it has a serious impact on our ocean ecosystems; in particular, it has an impact on any species of calcifying organism that produces a calcium carbonate SHELL.
..:: "These are changes that are occurring far too fast for the oceans to correct naturally, said Dr Richard Feely with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
..:: "Fifty-five million years ago when we had an event like this (and that took over 10,000 years to occur), it took the oceans over 125,000 years to recover, just to get the chemistry back to normal," he told BBC News.
..:: "It took two to 10 million years for the organisms to re-evolve, to get back into a normal situation.
..:: "So what we do over the next 100 years will have implications for ocean ecosystems from tens of thousands to millions of years. That's the implication of what we're doing to the oceans right now."
@Larry Lawhorn The CO2 emissions are not as bad as you may think. also, the ocean accounts for the majority of CO2 in our atmosphere. The real culprits are gases like methane. those attribute more to our "greenhouse gases" than CO2. Plus with the warming of the sun, our CO2 emissions are going to go up just as they have been since before the industrial revolution.
@Larry Lawhorn Thanks Larry .. and thanks for the links you shared with us
@Jeramie Alward @Larry Lawhorn
Methane is a
trace compound (1.8 PPM) and "lives" for only about 10 years in the
atmosphere before it oxidizes.
Even at 25X warming capabilities it would act like 45 PPM CO2 or about 12% of the total CO2 absorption capabilities.
Stay calm and worry not of CH4.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Spencer Hawes had 18 points and 13 rebounds, and Jrue Holiday scored 27 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 101-100 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
The Sixers wasted a 14-point lead and Portland took the lead late in the fourth. Holiday, though, rallied the Sixers and stretched the lead to 101-97 on a pair of free throws.
Damian Lillard hit a 3-pointer to cut it to 101-100. Holiday fell on the inbound pass and the ball sailed into the Sixers bench, giving Portland the ball with 7.1 seconds left. LaMarcus Aldridge missed the potential winner on a turnaround over Hawes.
Aldridge had 32 points and 14 rebounds, and Lillard scored 27 points.

Detroit lost its ninth straight and fell to 2-13 since the All-Star break. Pistons coach Lawrence Frank returned after missing six games to be with his seriously ill wife. Frank is planning to return to New Jersey before Detroit plays Friday in Miami.
The Nets, coming off a 12-point loss to Atlanta on Sunday, pulled within a half-game of New York in the Atlantic Division, with the Knicks playing later Monday at Utah.
Brook Lopez added 18 points and seven rebounds, while former Pistons guard Jerry Stackhouse had 10 points in his first game since Jan. 26.

Tips for taking mother in an ECV
Hi all - I may be taking my mother with us on our trip to WDW this month. She is in her 70s and has mobility issues. At home, she doesn't use anything but she cannot walk for more then 15 mins or so.
Our plans are: Oct 18-23, staying at BWV. If my mother comes, it will be the two of us and my two dcs (4yo ds and 6yo dd). I am planning to rent her an ECV for her stay at WDW. I had already planned a lower-key visit, with daily breaks at the hotel. I have read most of the stickies at the top of this thread, but am wondering if anyone has additional pointers for me, since this will be a completely new experience.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

If she has not driven an ecv before I recommend going to a Walmart or similar store to practice there for free. You need to make sure she can effectively control and be able to stop abruptly, make tight turns..etc. If she can not, I would suggest renting a manual wheelchair for the trip. ( scooter would be other option..little less bulky than ecv but still has to be able to stop and go)
Make sure that you take scheduled breaks...ESP. Since you will have your dd and ds with you. If you need to stop in park, and need a quiet place for your mom to lie down and rest, I would recommend first aid station. Stick to the side paths less traveled and you all won't tire out as quickly. Have fun!

Essentially, yes they are the same, but different sizes like the PP said. Smaller one would be better obviously to help her turn radius, the weight would be less as well when breaking down to put in car...etc.

scooter tips
I took my Mom for her first WDW trip for her 74th birthday. She also had mobility problems & walked with a cane. There was NO WAY that she could handle WDW on foot. I rented from an outside company "Randy's" I believe it was. The advantage of renting from outside the parks is that you have it to get around the resort too - which is also very large. They delivered right to the hotel & showed us how to use it. Some companies just drop it off at the reception desk & you're on your own. Anyway, Mom & I spent about an hour driving it around the resort to get a feel for it before we got to the park. She had never driven one before. After she got comfortable with it, we went to the bus stop & got it loaded on. I had to do that for her the entire trip. She was too nervous. Before I left home I had made warning signs for the front & back of the scooter - big neon signs that read : "WARNING: ROOKIE DRIVER - HOW DO I STOP THIS THING?!!!" It got a lot of laughs, but people stayed out of her way. It also broke the ice when waiting for the bus & no one complained about having to wait while we got it loaded.
On several nights, we went to dinner at another resort. We borrowed a wheelchair from the resort & took a cab to the restaurant. We discovered on our last night that they have cabs that are vans with a ramp for the scooter - it didn't cost anymore. The valet just called for it for us. When I commented on this wonderful service he said "It's Disney, what did you expect?"

You guys are awesome! Please keep the tips coming. I did convince my mother to go and just booked her plane ticket. So happy that we can share Disney magic with her and her grandkids. Now off to tweak our touring plans and ensure that we have enough down-time.
I asked her to practice driving at Walmart, since we don't live in the same state. I hope that she does it!!!

You'll love the BWV resort. That is where I get to stay sometimes.
A lot of good advice here.
I use a cane all of the time, too, but I need a scooter or Electric Convenience Vehicle at WDW because I like using the WDW bus and boat transportation all of the time instead of my car.
It is good that she is trying other scooters at Walmart or grocery stores.
She will discover and be happy when she uses the rental scooter at WDW because the Walmart/grocery store scooters are so much bigger and clumsy. The rental will be more agile and less clumsy. Now I am not talking about the scooters at the WDW parks, but the scooters from the outside rental agencies.
Here are a few suggestions off the top of my head.
1. At the BWV, when you arrive at the front of the BWV resort, ask the parking valet outside or the luggage personnel that you would like to pick up your rental. They will bring it to you. Make sure that it has the battery charger and telephone information to call the rental agency incase you might need them. Also check the battery meter and it should be fully charged as they usually always keep them plugged in.
2. You will notice that the steering column might look like handlebars or similar depending on the model. Mine look like handlebars, but newer models have wraparound handlebars. The main difference with Walmart/grocery store scooters and WDW rental scooters is that there is a speed control or speed dial near the batter meter.
The Walmart/grocery store scooters don't have this feature. At their stores you just use either hand's thumb and push in to start and the further you push the faster you go. And both will stop moving when you stop pushing the thumb control.
The rental scooters you can push the thumb control a little or all the way and it will always go the same speed. To change the speed you have to turn the separate speed dial. Counterclockwise is "turtle" speed and Clockwise is "rabbint" speed. This helps set a speed for when you are walking with her or parellel parking in the WDW bus.
Sometimes the speed may need to be increased if going up a ramp on a bus depending on the weight of the driver. But always turn the speed dial to "turtle" speed when parking in a bus or surrounded by other guests.
Sometimes, in very crowded conditions, I will have one thumb on the start/stop lever control and the other hand on the speed control. Thay way I can always turn the speed control to slow or speed up in a crowd such as leaving the park or trying to match the speed of those that I am walking with.
3. Most bus stops have a rectangle parked near the bus stops to show the maximum size of scooter allowed on the bus, but it can also be used to practice parellel parking as if you were on the bus. In an automobile, we parallel park on the right side of the road. In the majority of the WDW buses we paralle on the left side of the inside of the bus.
You can help her with this. You can either use the hand controls yourself as you stand at the front of the scooter and walk backwards or forwards up the bus ramp and parellel park for her in the bus. Since she uses a cane she can sit next to you in the bus.
4. Most of the WDW Parks like MK and Epcot and DHS and Animal Kingdom have their own little way of entering the bus queue lines. At MK use turtle speed and make wider turns around the corner until you get to the scooter box and open the gate that will be located about where the rear side door of the bus will be located. Other will line up behind you in their scooters if their are other scooters while the walking families will continue down the queue line until they reach the traditions front of the bus entrance.
Epcot may have differnet looking line queues depending on what WDW resort you are going too. At both Epcot and DHS I either use the wonderful sidewalk or boat launch if I think that my battery may be to low.
At AK the lines are thiner. You'll get the hang of it. DHS queue lines are similar if you are going to visit another resort instead of going back to BWV, but they are very nicely spread out.
The BWV doesn't have a line queue like the parks. When this happens, just pull up close to where the scooter box is located or where the rear door of the bus may stop.
5. With any elevators or door entrances, just pull up straight to the door entrance and drive in/through in turtle speed straight head. This way she can drive straight back out of the elevator. If it is a door, she can just drive out straight live everyone else walking out.
Most chairs on scooter can rotate. If she likes to do everything herself, but doesn't like to turn her head, learn how to reach down and release the chair lever so that it can turn and she can rotate her seat to see backwards as she backs up on her own. Or you could back her out yourself using the controls like on the bus parking.
6. Other tips:
Try to get used to turning of the scooter power when not moving to save battery life.
Try to remember to plug the scooter in an electrical outlet every night before going to bed regardless of what the battery meter says.
Sometimes a BWV studio may have an electrical out that is connected to a light switch that can be turned of like near a dining table or sofa table. Just check the scooter when plugged in and turning off the light before going to bed and make sure you still see the light on the battery charger is still on.
In crowds, use "turtle" speed.
Enjoy boat rides from BWV to Epcot to DHS or the Beach, Yacht Club, Swan, and Dolphin resorts. Or enjoy the sidewalks to all of these areas.
Enjoy the boat rides from MK to WL or WLCG and back.
Enjoy the monorails at MK, CR, TTC, Poly, GF, and back to MK. or MK to Epcot.
Enjoy visiting DTD. Take a boat ride from DTD to SSR or OKW or POR and back.
Enjoy all of the sidewalks everywhere and explore.
Sorry for rambling.
Oh, and I use a heavy duty rubber band on my scooter handlebar or armrest and put my cane through it when I am driving or not using my cane.
And I like taking those flexable kitchen side trash bags to cover my seat and back rest if it rains. I also take a cheap shower cap to put over the electronics of the speed dial just so my seat won't get to wet or same with the electronics. I don't have to do this, but I just like to do it. You can wrap all three in a little bundle and wrap a rubber band around it so that it will be easy to carry. If it does rain, I use it and afterwards throw trash bags away and keep the shower cap. I take several of the rain kits with me for emergencies.
One more thing. For parades, when you line up the scooter straight on the side of the sidewalk, she will be sitting back away from the sidewalk by one or two people deep. People will line up beside her and she may only be able to see straight in front of her and night to the sides because she will be sitting lower and further back than everyone around her.
She could could park sideways to the sidewalk and turn her seat around or help her park backwards and turn the seat all the way around to watch the parade.
If you are watching MK fireworks, it is better to watch from behind a child's stroller so fewer tall people will stand in front of her. Just think from her perspecitive of being lower like a child and sitting further back if people are beside her.
Good night.

On Your Mind.I quickened my pace to keep up with Sherlock, who never really seemed to pay attention to the fact that I was almost exhausted by the time we came home. Of course, I'd never say anything about that, because there will, undoubtedly, be coming a mordant remark my way. I was quite a bit smaller than him, as he had very long legs and, well, he was tall. His long, black, familiar coat danced around his legs. We were walking back home from the crime scene of our last case, and since we didn't have money on us, neither of us, we decided to walk home. It was quite a long walk.
"Come on, John. You're a bit slow today. What's on your mind?" He called out to me, never slowing down. Well, I guess it can't hurt to say that he should slow down. I'll survive the attack of remarks. I took a deep breath and before I had spoken a word, he said.
"Am I going too fast? Does it bother you? I could slow down a bit, after all. I know we're not the same size."
That's new. He's never said anything like that bef
72. Insomnia - JohnlockJohn lay awake in bed, an all too familiar violin screeching downstairs. Of course, it wasn't actually screeching, but at three in the morning it might as well be. Now if it had been in the afternoon or sometime that wasn't in the middle of the night, the violin would be quite pleasant.
He squeezed his eyes shut and held his pillow up against his ears. The action was futile, he knew from doing so several times before. Upon realizing that it still wouldn't work he let go of the pillow and opened his eyes with a sigh. He kicked off the blankets and stood up, walking over to the door of his room. He opened it up just enough to poke his head out and yelled, "Would you keep it down! Some people are trying to sleep!" He tried his best to sound threatening and angry but it only came out as tired and groggy and not intimidating at all. The sound of the violin paused for a moment and John thought that he finally got through to him. Unfortunately he didn't and the screeching continued. John sigh
Mondays"God, I hate Mondays." John said, gripping his head, hoping that the pain would subside.
"I've told you time and time again, that if you drank more water on Sunday that this wouldn't happen."
"How much am I supposed to drink, Sherlock? The whole bloody Pacific?" He roared at his flatmate. Pain and patience did not go hand-in-hand.
"Of course not, John." He stared at him with a gravely serious expression. "It's saltwater for one thing. It would be completely ineffective in hydrating you."
John clapped a hand to his forehead in exasperation and immediately regretted it, shutting his eyes when the dull and aching pain in his skull grew. He gave a deep sigh and tried not to shout this time.
"Look…" He paused. "If you can't say anything helpful, will you kindly shut up?"
"Would you like a massage?"
This was such a random and surprising question that John's eyes flew open. For a minute he couldn't respond, instead he just stared at Sherlock with his brow furrowed, unsure if he had hea
BBC Sherlock: In Bed"I'm dying, John!" Sherlock whined, looking at his flatmate like a sad puppy.
John rolled his eyes.
"No, you're not. You've just got a cold," he explained patiently, pointing his finger at Sherlock to show who was to blame for the whole situation. "I told you not to run around the flat barefooted and only in your dressing gown!"
Sherlock sneezed loudly three times in a row and then huffed with annoyance.
"My head is pounding, I can't think!" He protested while wrinkling his nose in indignation.
John sighed heavily.
"No wonder, you have a high fever. Just stay in bed and wait till the medicines I gave you will kick in."
"I won't, staying in bed is boring!" Sherlock stated defiantly, sat up and folded his arms on his chest.
"Sherlock, lie down!" A note of warning could be heard in John's voice. He used that tone to his most problematic patients at the hospital.
"No!" Holmes pouted like a stubborn child, ostentatiously not looking at John.
"Lie. Down." John repeated more force

Brentford boss Uwe Rosler feels his side's extra fitness is showing in the promotion race.
The Bees are up to fourth after extending their unbeaten run to eight league games with a 3-2 win over fellow promotion hopefuls MK Dons on Saturday.
They fell behind twice but eventually secured another three points when Clayton Donaldson grabbed the winner a minute from time.
"MK Dons have a small squad but one that is high on quality," said Rosler.
"They play the same way week in, week out with the same players and are one of the best teams in the league.
"At times I feel they play games when they are not at their physical peak. I felt we could put them under pressure.
"I felt the longer the game went on, we would overtake them and that is what happened."

Independence? No, the planners have an "action plan." (VIDEO)Submitted by PH's Liberty on Thu, 07/04/2013 - 14:33

Plans to Push Americans Out of Suburbs to Move in Planned Cities
"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty..." - Frederic Bastiat
Agenda 21 is an United Nations "action plan" that basically defines how citizens will live in the 21th Century. Under the guise of "eco-sustainability" and other "you-must-agree-with" buzz words, the plan ultimately reduces the freedoms and living conditions of citizens, not to mention reduce individual and property rights. A major component of this action plan is to get citizens out of rural and suburbans areas to get them to live in dense, highly planned and controlled mega-cities. The elite wants to see citizens use less space, own less land and real estate and they want them to fully depend on state-owned public transportation.
Corporations like IBM are highly involved in the creation of these "smart cities".
Food and water is regulated and rationed by a "Global Food Council" which seizes total control over farming. Meat is a rare treat only to be enjoyed on special occasions
The state decides what your job will be with "designated career announcements," nobody has the choice to decide their own vocation
Movement and behavior is controlled by a calorie credit card linked to a smart phone that rations the amount of travel the citizens of planned-opolis, are allowed to make. Private ownership of cars will be banned for non-elitists because, "the state knows they just aren't practical anymore."
"It makes so much sense doesn't it," insists the smiley faced slave "Vee," who enjoys the fact that she can "switch off brain and go to work," adding, "With this many people around I'm glad there's a mega-computer in charge."
Those who resist and still cling to some semblance of freedom in defiance of the state and the super-computers running the slave grid, there's the "cry freedom ghetto," prison camps for malcontents who are blocked from getting jobs, accessing high speed transport or the Internet
"Makes much sense, doesn't it?" Nope, and get off my property!
"Away with the whims of governmental administrators, their socialized projects, their centralization, their tariffs, their government schools, their state religions, their free credit, their bank monopolies, their regulations, their restrictions, their equalization by taxation, and their pious moralizations! And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Frederic Bastiat

huh... I thought the other version was a "lite" version. I really hope the bugs get fixed on the original version, and an ending is provided. I don't mind a lack of progression in between worlds, though having that is never bad. But at least some sort of an ending would be nice.
I wish there was a greater sense of compulsion to find all pink fairies, gold coins and SCARE letters. Oh well, self imposed compulsion is good enough i suppose.
Another thing in wishlist is 100% given to a level even if all the things in the level are not found out in the same run. If a % is going to be displayed in a game, I have an OCD of having 100% being displayed.
IPAD version has the top parts a little cut off. That needs fixing. Though I prefer playing on the iPod, I occasionally give it a play on the iPad to enjoy the brilliant artwork.
That said, the platforming mechanics are really solid. Artwork is brilliant. I put this high on my list of platforming favourites. Not quite my best yet, but easily in top 5.
Had to take the day off yesterday cause I was sick..but finally beat the game yesterday. =D
Fun game! I like the exploration in this game, which is surprising since I usually don't like platformers that have exploration. I like how you can go for time, or you can carefully go through and get 100% on levels. I didn't need to spend any of the blue faries on any power ups. You can occasionally find powerups in random blocks, and the main one I found useful was the balloon one (but its not necessary).
The main annoyance with the game is the collision detection. There's a few times I'll fall through edge of platforms, even if I'm not moving. I sometimes have trouble jumping on enemies to kill them even if I jump on top of them. IT seems like there's a very narrow area that counts as a hit. Yesterday, I tried I think stage 2-10, and there's a bunch of floating bad guys that I think you have to jump on to ride them, but unless you jump directly in a tiny window, the game detects it as getting hit. After I passed that one jump, there's another jump where you have to ride another bad guy over spikes, but no matter what I do to jump on the enemy, I think the game detects it as me jumping on the spikes. It would be nice if these can be fixed.
Overall this is a really fun game still. In my list, its sitting in number 2..really close to my number 1 platformer.
I'm still loving this, had a ton of enjoyment and fun for 69p, exceptional value.
Alrighty... Asked why the free version was removed from the store here on the forums a couple days ago, and haven't gotten an answer.... So I asked on the Facebook page, and they deleted my post....
Guessing Bulkypix was upset, and made them remove it? Hope we still get the update with fixes that were in the free version if that's the case... Dunno how they'd feel about Bulkypix if they made them remove their free version of the game... Also don't know why we don't have the fixes already for the paid version if they had them all fixed and added to the game when they released the free version....
The game, as well as fire fruit forge and Bulkypix are all slipping down my favorites list pretty quick right now.
well, there are really a lot of platformers on ios but honestly this one is just great. level designs are very nice. the difficulty is ok too. it's like everything is designed with something in mind and not just because of some great ideas that developers think to have. there are of course some problems people already mentioned here, like hit boxes, platforms etc. but if you like traditional platformers with really a lot of levels, these levels are actually levels and not some tiny ones like in many platformers for ios, then it's great game to buy and play. it is just rediculos that this game is not getting enough sales and at the same time there are some platformers which are just so so but are in the top lists. hype? people should get their heads out of their asses and buy such games like this one, otherwise the appstore will be more and more filled with shiny titles with average content. and about review, it seems like it's better to play the game on hard or hardcore. that makes collecting blue fairies quite important and some mechanics like shooting are more challenging and fun.

How do I get to the gold coin of World 2, level 8 (it's a worm)? One bat to open the door i can find... can't find the other one
Like farjo, I've ftried contacting the developers, Bulkypix, and writing here on TA, with no response... Which is strange because the Devs and BP were very responsive around the time I wrote up a review for TN for The App Shack... usually exchanging e-mails every other day or so... But now... No response... Like they've vanished....
And then the free app was mysteriously pulled and everyone goes silent?
Makes me wonder if the paid app was ever going to get the update or if they were just trying to pacify people.
There's part of the story we're just not hearing.
Really sucks, because TN is a good game.

OSIPOFF: Kelly Komara nets dream job
By MICHAEL OSIPOFF email@example.com Twitter: @MichaelOsipoff May 7, 2014 11:00PM
Photo - Bill Ziskin.
Updated: June 10, 2014 6:41AM
During a "whirlwind" several days, Kelly Komara said she barely has had time to "blink."
But she's been loving every frantic nanosecond of it, because she's living a dream, having returned to a place she considers home.
On Monday, Komara — the Schererville native who won Indiana Miss Basketball at Lake Central in 1998, propelling the Indians to a Class 4A runner-up finish — was introduced as an assistant coach at Purdue, where she shined as a guard, winning a national championship in 1999 and reaching the title game in 2001.
The most recent stop on her coaching journey — one that she always had envisioned would land her back with the Boilermakers — was at Albany, as the Great Danes made the NCAA Tournament in both of her seasons on their staff. She was scheduled to head back to New York on Thursday to tie up some loose ends, before returning to West Lafayette later this month.
Komara described looking out the window of her hotel room on Monday night, how she recalled walking up and down those streets, having had dinner at this restaurant and that.
"It's so familiar, it feels so right," she said. "You can't ask for anything better than when you mix your passion and your career."
Komara's career has taken her to Auburn (twice, as a graduate assistant from 2004-06 and as video coordinator for four seasons from 2007-11), Northwestern (assistant in 2006-07), Valparaiso (assistant in 2011-12), and Albany. But, again, Purdue remained close to her heart and mind.
A few weeks ago, Komara had a first interview with coach Sharon Versyp. A couple of weeks later, the fellow former Boilermakers standout guard called again for a second interview. At the end of that conversation, Versyp told Komara she would make a decision that evening.
Komara said it made for "an interesting afternoon, to say the least.
"I thought, 'My life could change forever.'"
It did, as Versyp offered the job. Komara accepted immediately — well, as soon as she could catch her breath.
"It was a dream come true for me," said Komara, who so far has been focusing on familiarizing herself with the Boilermakers roster, their incoming signees, 2015 commits, and 2016 and '17 targets.
Komara was expected to coach the guards at Purdue, after actually having worked with the posts at Albany. She has recruiting ties to the Northeast, South and, of course, Midwest. That diverse background, on and off the court, should serve her well in this position.
As a player with the Boilermakers, she racked up an array of accolades, including making the All-Big Ten first team as a senior in 2002 (with honorable mention selections the previous two seasons), winning the conference's Defensive Player of the Year award that season, and earning Most Outstanding Player of the Mideast Regional in the 2001 NCAA Tournament. But by no means has she forgotten her region roots.
"I really, really hope so," Komara, who played briefly for the Indiana Fever and later for the Grand Rapids Blizzard in the National Women's Basketball League, said when asked about recruiting the area. "That's one of the things I'm going to try to do. The region produces some great athletes. With me being the bridge to bring the two together, we can really wok the region hard, find some of those phenomenal players, just because of the love Northwest Indiana has for Purdue."
These are indeed heady times for former area (and Purdue) players being part of the Boilermakers' basketball staffs. Assistant coach Brandon Brantley, an East Chicago native and Andrean graduate; and assistant video coordinator Kenneth Lowe, a West Side grad, both are entering their second season with the men's program.
"It really speaks volumes about how great an outlet Northwest Indiana is for athletes not only committing in-state, but committing, leaving the state and coming back," Komara said. "You see people who paved the way ahead of you, made this university a prominent university in the basketball world, do other things and come back. If you didn't like the experience, you wouldn't come back. It shows you the loyalty, and how wonderful the family atmosphere is here."
Coincidentally, Komara has taken the last two positions that Christy Smith has vacated. When Smith left Valparaiso for Purdue in 2011 after three seasons, Komara joined the Crusaders; when Smith left Purdue for Arkansas — her alma mater — after three seasons, Komara rejoined the Boilermakers.
Never say never, but don't expect a trifecta — "she just led me right through that path, but that would be the end of the road for me," Komara said with a laugh. And though Komara has spoken about eventually running her own program, she isn't overly anxious, given her new — and coveted — situation.
"Where you played is usually where you want to go back, it's what's in your heart," said Komara, calling it a "no-brainer" to make such a move.
"One of the coolest things about the jobs that I've had, I've really been able to piece together my philosophy, my timeline, what I wanted to accomplish. I wanted to get back here, learn from Coach Versyp and these great assistants. This was really the dream formula for me. Where that takes me, my goal was to get to here. I'd like to be here a long time."

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1093 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by LeeAnne32 Bad choice Our A/C broke in the middle of the night. Although we informed staff next morning, It had not been fixed when we got back to our room in late afternoon. We had to pack up all our things and move to another building and we were told this happens often. Although it's in a great location, I would not stay here again. September 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by omersiddiqui Business Stay - The hotel is good however the room housekeeping is not very good. The house remain in bad shape once you leave hotel for business and come back. The other hotel features were good. However comparing this hotel with hotels in Middle East, it is not close to the features and facilities available in Middle East. February 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Phulse PHulse Good hotel in the centre of Seattle. Can also be reached via Light Train from Airport. Just another good Sheraton Hotel. June 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Juneanniv This hotel has terrific amount of outlets for computers in the lobby We had a corner room with fantastic views of the city and water. The room was quite large. Plenty of windows to enjoy the views. June 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by terny some issues The shower flooded the bathroom in room 860 because the curtain had no weights or magnets to keep it from billowing out. The front desk staff were slow and not too informative about basics. Valet parking was polite and efficient. Wish there was a free continental breakfast. May 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by sdtthhh Housekeeping very average Bed sheets were never changed in the 6 days/5 nights that we were there. Only towels and bathroom necessities. No cleaning. June 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by FrequentTravelerBob Enjoyable Stay We stayed at this Sheraton for a weekend wedding. The hotel facilities and service were terrific. We did notice that the registration and concierge areas can generate long lines at check-in/out as this is a very large hotel. If you're visiting Seattle Center, access from the hotel to the monorail is very close. July 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Smargo Seattle Getaway We called at the last minute to the SPG rewards, they helped us get a room at the club level. We were greeted warmly at the SPG counter and we were checked in within seconds. My husband was outside still with the valet and we were ready to go to our room. Everything was to the standard we expected and more. T September 6, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by lostinutah Worst stay at a Starwood hotel in a long time After a week on ship we were excited to stay at the Sheraton to relax in normal sized beds and hang by the pool while we enjoyed exploring Seattle. Unfortunately the stay was horrible. Our first night the air conditioning did not work and we had a miserable night of sleep. I complained in the morning and they offered my 5000 point which I felt was not commensurate with the pain endured. Then my mother-law-in was staying in another room under my name and they were woken at 5:39 am both morning due to people walking on the had wood floors in the Excutive lounge located immediately above above them. We complained and we were offered 50% discount from our stay. Again not commensurate with the pain ensured. Lastly, we opted in for the green option and yet the maid cleaned the rooms anyway. I had to once again go and speak to the front desk to correct the problem. Then upon check in we were mot offered a in room bar key. My wife called down and requested one and they said we could come get it at the front desk. My wife asked that they delivery to the room and the front desk agreed. No key ever came, All in all, very unsatisfactory stay with very unsatisfactory resolutions to each problem. This is first time that I am truly compelled to write a review on a hotel ever. July 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by REM3 Good Experience I enjoyed my stay at the Sheraton. It had good accommodations was clean and had an excellent gym June 30, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by winsom not to return I have stayed at the Sheraton Seattle many times and this will be my last visit. The bathroom was not clean and the front desk staff and bell staff were very unfriendly and did not make me feel welcome. I was at the Westin Seattle in October and they have my vote. Sheraton - it's time to step up your service. December 6, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by gabyo The hotel has great service! This is quite possibly the best Sheraton in which I've stayed. The staff was attentive and helpful. The accommodations were fantastic. The room was clean. My only complaint is that my room on the club level did not have nearly enough electrical outlets to meet the demands of today's technology-laden traveler. September 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by koola Great Service, Great Location. Great Service, clean and close to all attractions. July 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GreenTravel2014 Nice hotel This hotel is good business travel. July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 Sheraton Seattle This very central and convenient location was perfect for our Seattle stay. The room provided a quiet respite from our city forays. The carpet could use a bit of attention, particularly since I like to get on the floor and do my morning yoga routine. Otherwise, the facilities and staff attention were suberb! August 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Commiss ASHRAE Enjoyed stay for ASHRAE conference June 28 - July 2 July 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chuck97 Great visit Great location nice staff and amenities. Don't know why internet is so expensive and why can't get through most of hotel. Also paid for a week but kept getting rebilled. Staff did take care of this promptly but was still a pain. Would expect a hotel of this price to offer free internet (or at least for SPG) October 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Natalie2057 This hotel builds friendships with guests Recently, I've stayed her twice, Nov'13 w my service dog - exceptional service with Rose and her staff. In March I was back w my dog's ashes and they delivered flowers to me for her memory. Rose the asst mgr/PM mgr is a reflection of hospitality and creating positive bonds. I'll be back! March 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jim728 Great location and facilities My stay at your hotel was very comfortable and well organized by staff. The facilities were conveniently located to tourist sites and the staf could not ahve been friendlier. It was traveling half way across the ocuntry that limited my sleep not the facilities. May 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by quail Excellent Stay I found the Hotel staff to be very courteous and helpful. The location was the best with shopping, transportation and restaurants close by. Definitely the place to stay is here when visiting Seattle. We paid extra for the Club level and was well worth the price with breakfast and evening snacks to enjoy. May 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 the underwhelming experience staff not very interested in helping con goers with anything other than getting them their key cards coffee machine in room was disgusting and a request for a new one was ignored internet is extra and not a small amount either It is cheaper to walk down and buy a microwave from the department store 5 blocks away then to have them place one in the room for a weekend refusal to remove the alcohol from the mini fridge so you can use it for food overzealous vallette who were jumping in cars of people who were packing up to leave the hotel and happened to wander to far away from their cars while grabbing more luggage, then charging them for the vallette parking all in all the building has a great location next to the con center and the hotel knows it. so the hotel can treat people not very well and it will not matter because of the location. I will end the review with the fact that there are several other hotels right next to con center, go there save money and have a better stay April 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TwoWs Wonderful location and stay There are two reasons I did not rate this stay 5-stars. 1) the option to have two double beds on the club level was not available... it would be nice to at least have a few club level rooms with this type of accommodation. The guest services rep who checked us in was wonderful and found us the next best available - so I do appreciate his courtesy and support very much. 2) The valet system at check in was VERY slow... as was the check out... it was a cluster out there and I witnessed both at check in and check out many valet staff standing around talking to each other rather than showing initiative to get cars in and out. I sat in my car when I first pulled in for at least 3 minutes before anyone paid attention to us to have us pull forward to where they wanted our vehicle... same thing on check out - many people just sitting in their cars waiting for someone to assist - and those "someones" were just standing around talking to each other. Not what I expect at a high-class Sheraton. May 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by CMCG This hotel suited my needs. The hotel is in a great location and provided everything needed to be comfortable. The Internet is mediocre at best and should not be charged for. I had issues with the TV that took 2 days to resolve. I felt some compensation was in order, but none was offered. The staff were friendly and accommodating. January 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JR78 Great Hotel but for Delta reservation Was notable to obtain a boarding pass for a delta flight July 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Celia12 This hotel has excellent mattresses Our experience at your hotel was excellent. I would have liked to have 2 comfortable chairs since there were 2 of us in the room, but I understand this was due to the fact that we had a king room instead of 2 double beds. The staff was friendly, courteous and did everything possible to meet our needs. August 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pete202 Overall Experience Great location, comfortable accommodations - would select this property again. June 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Janet One of My Favorite Hotels in the US It is always a pleasure to stay at this hotel on my business trips. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, The bedding is crisp, clean and so comfy! The restaurant has fast service, great waiters, and deliciously fresh entrees. The club lounge is always clean and well-manned during club hours. March 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Otter1 Great hotel Our experience was wonderful. Comfy room, excellent gym and pool, polite and kind staff however the one small issue was that the shower/bath water was tepid in temperature. It was like having a cold shower, very uncomfortable. But overall, minor compared to all the positive things about the hotel! December 20, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Debs2013 Average I was disappointed in our stay. The lines were long at check-in. We had multiple issues with card key. I like that you are a "green" hotel but you didn't explain at check-in that it meant no clean towels or glasses. The pool was closed due to a leak which is one of the reasons we chose your hotel. June 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by route14 Very clean with a great location. Having stayed the first time for a week in June 2008, I knew it was a great location in Seattle and cleanliness being most important, my expectations were fully met. All employees I had contact with were very friendly and professional. However I think parking fees could have been more reasonable. August 17, 2012

Cool sweater

Member since
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bought the Pewter Space Dye in XXL, which looks cool. The feel of the fabric is a bit different than a bodyfit 260, it is more like a regular cotton sweater. It is not very big in XXL, I wish the arms had been a litte longer. First impressions were that this is a sweater that is going to last for a long time, and I am going to like it.

Everything today is reported... not to the press but to one Gov't agency or another.
We do have the ability to disseminate information much more quickly and widely than ever before... Arab Spring (summer, fall and winter, too) would never have been part of the daily news cycle even say in Cronkite's day. Is it the widespread reportage of these uprisings that foments more of the same?
Is it the videos of "flash robs" that drive some to oneupsmanship? If so, then the rapid dissemination of crime information video and audio, could very well push the wheel over the edge...
It could be worse!
I suppose
One other point I forgot to make (this isn't to oakchas, but for the whole topic)- Those pining for the good ole days must be fair with what they remember. You might think of something resembling Ozzie and Harriet. If you are black, you will probably remember things in that era differently. Same if you are gay. How about if you were a woman who did not want to raise kids or be limited to just raising kids? Your options were far fewer and societal norms far more aligned against you.
I found this pinned to a bulletin board in one of my client's offices. I've read it (over) several times and it gets better with each reading. I think it's worth typing out for all of you to read so here goes:
Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
Found in old St. Paul's church, Baltimore; dated 1692.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin

And I walk my neighborhood all the time. I wouldn't hesitate to walk it even in the middle of the night.
Referring to crime statistics as, "generally trending down" greatly understates the trend. Violent crime has been in free fall. For example, gun homicides have dropped by roughly one third. That is astonishing.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
These types of crimes are way way down. Much lower than when I was growing up. Violent crime of all types has been falling for two decades.I was, and am talking about serious crime, violent crime, being perpetrated at will on citizens of this country.
OTOH, you could go to your local High School with a .22 in the gun rack of a pickup or a shotty, or both... you and the guys might go out after school for a pheasant hunt or a squirrel hunt... you had to have your options available...
You could leave your doors unlocked. on your car or your house, or both.
Some of it is perception, some reality... History does repeat itself... and the pendulum swings...
It could be worse!

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

I would agree with many that say the news and constant access to worldwide information is leading to the perception that society is spiraling out of control, but a lot of the signs do point that direction. I think part of the problem is parents and parenting, or the lack therof. And I think that problem boils down to a lack of self-control and respect. How are parents supposed to impart wisdom and restraint to their children when they show none themselves, or aren't even there?
The other thing to look at is we are fighting evolution (not getting into the whole creation vs evolution theory, but actual micro-evolution of a species that is observable). The more educated and productive people in our society tend to have smaller families, leading to a decreasing representation in the population. There are a lot of possible reasons for this, a few being planning, self-control, understanding the time commitment to raise children properly, for a few. But when unmaried teenagers start having multiple children, boys go around knocking up all sorts of girls, mothers on welfare keep having more kids so they get paid more, etc... the least educated, least able to be productive, raise massive numbers of similar thinking children who are taught nothing but how to be the same way. The non-productive percentage of the population will continue to increase.
The least usefull people have adapted to the environment that allows them to continue to do nothing usefull. This will continue until their numbers swell to the point where the rest of us can't support them anymore and society is upended. The number of prodctive members of society will fall until there is no longer enough production. Then there will be a reset where the people incapable of providing for themselves and contributing will die out, starve or be killed off. Lets just hope we can straighten things out before that happens, becauese I don't want to be around for the unrest that will happen when this occurs, and I wouldn't want my children or grandchildren etc. to have to go through that either.
Walk softly ...
The last few generations lack "Home Training", meaning there is no one at there homes teaching them right from wrong.
And if you don't know right from wrong, then that;s what you teach your kids... .and so on, and so on.....

generally speaking, my generation (im 24) is infinitely superior to any previous generation of Americans.
gay men and women walk down the street holding hands without fearing for their lives, people of different religions and races love each other and have solid friendships without stress or shame and women are treated far more seriously then ever before and have more control of their own body's and lives.
all around an improvement.
