I take back the yipyip comment that was previously in this space. After watching the video I embedded, I'll go with the MIB worms again. I will not be swayed from this opinion other than an official statement :-P
When he goes out for a hunt, the victims offer themselves up. He once fought Arnold Schwarzenegger, but let him win. When Captain Kirk needs woman advice, he calls him. He is the most interesting Predator in the world. "I don't always make trophies of my kills, but when I do, I take their heads afterwards...Stay evil my friends."
Congrats Robbie Lee!! I love how refined the Predator is, right down to this beautiful brocade on his smoking jacket. I wonder if he is a bandy or scotch guy? And what do you get him Christmas?
Took 17 minutes, but just would like to point out the typo because I'm that guy. "Facing difficult tasks if overrated."
Yes the Men in Black worm aliens are on the right.
Aww man, I shot Marvin in the face!

Would have been my first ever Instabuy, but it took a while before I could stop laughing long enough to order it. Priceless!
I'm leaning more towards the Sesame Street Martians.
orabbit wrote:Boo! I'll repost the video to sway some impressionable Wooters. Sesame Street FTW!
I'm with you. It's totally the Yip Yips. The antennae, eyes, and mouth are all a perfect match.
Yeah, it is definitely the Sesame Street aliens. The MIB aliens don't have weird shaped mouths that open up like that.
The fact that there are two of them, and that they are in the only two shapes the Yipyip's mouths make have me convinced it's the Yipyip's, not MIB guys.
Did I ever tell you about the day I bagged that ET character behind me, dear boy? No? Jolly good yarn, that. Well I was invisible as I am usually wont to be, and the poor sod kept muttering about phone home or some such! Didn't even hear me coming! Oouuuuuch indeed ha ha ha. And so his visage adorns my parlour as you see.
His necklace looks like its made of the skulls of those little head-shaking guys of the forest from Princess Mononoke. I forget what they're called.
Well, now we know why Alf (and AlfTales) aren't on television any more....
Huh. No Face Hugger or Prometheus reference?
Are the skulls on the necklace anything? I don't know anything familiar, but he's put so much detail into matching the other skulls that they have to represent something.
The Predator is getting comfortable in his old age... simply going after easy prey... we all know THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME....
I want this shirt, but I'm so disappointed with the quality of the shirts now I don't know what to do. I think about why Woot doesn't care about the thousands of post about how poor quality their shirts have become, but then I realize I am still buying them so why would they care. Thanks Woot!
Big game hunters all over the world empathize with this gentleman's apparent ennui.

Hey everyone! Yeah, I was going for the yip yip guys with that one. I felt kind of bad putting them up there, not to mention the extra terrestrial. As for the necklace, that's just a bunch of little skulls... I'll be doing a giveaway on my FB page, btw, so be on the lookout over there if you're into that sort of thing... Thanks for all the comments, and thanks for the print, woot!
Edit: The artist has spoken (on the little skulls). (Also voting for the ones on the right to be the Sesame Street aliens; the mouth shapes are too distinctive to ignore.)

Nokia highlights mapping with 'Here' launch
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Nokia (NOK1V.HE)(NOK.N) announced a mapping application for the iPhone and other devices on Tuesday and rebranded its location services under the "Here" umbrella as it sought to exploit a bright spot in its product mix.
Nokia also said it would acquire a Bay Area start-up called Earthmine to provide 3-D street views for its maps, and announced a partnership with Mozilla, maker of the Firefox web browser, to bring maps to the Firefox mobile operating system set to launch next year.
Mapping has emerged as a critical application in the emerging mobile computing economy, and Nokia's mapping services - built on its 2007 acquisition of map pioneer Navteq - are seen as a strong point for the company even as it has struggled to compete in the smartphone business.
Nokia Chief Executive Stephen Elop said in an interview that the sales of the company's new Lumia smartphones, based on the Microsoft's Windows Phone software, would benefit from the devices having "location-based services that are better than anything else."
Elop said he was "pleased" with Lumia sales so far and noted record pre-order volume in Russia, one of the company's more important markets.
But Elop also stressed the effort to make the "Here" services available to a wide variety of vendors, including smartphone competitors.
"A bit part of what is new is how we are pushing this horizontally," he said, adding that the new branding was partly an effort to make it more palatable for competitors to use the services.
The mapping data generates licensing revenues for Nokia, and Elop said location-oriented advertising would also be part of the mix for the Here.com website and the mobile services.
"Raising the profile of the unit should make its value clearer, but brand-building will take time without a huge ad budget," said Martin Garner, analyst at British research firm CCS Insight.
The new IPhone app, created in the HTML 5 language that works on many different types of computers and smartphones and set to be released in the coming weeks, is a clear effort to capitalize on the much-publicized weaknesses of Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) new mapping product.
Michael Halbherr, Nokia's executive vice president for location and commerce services, joked at the San Francisco launch event that the iPhone app was created "on the off chance that there are some iPhone users who want a different map."
Nokia also said it would release an Android mapping app early next year.
Under the agreement with Mozilla, the two companies will work together on location services and mobile maps for the new Firefox OS software, set to be released next year.
Nokia executives stressed the "computational mapping" technology behind Here.com that would allow users to generate a wide range of different types of maps from the service. The acquisition of Earthmine will enable 3D features in the maps, and user input will help to continually enhance the offerings, executives said.

5 My personal favourite Oasis albumThomasRN | 09/10/2008 | See all ThomasRN's reviews (22)This album is the most under rated album of all time. I am a massive Oasis fan and this is my personal favourite album. How an album which includeds F'n in the bushes, Go let it out, Who feels love?, sunday morning call, Gas panic! and Where did it all go wrong? always gets slated is beyond me. some of Oasis's best work can be found on this album. Enjoy!
4 pretty good album!!donovans | 05/07/2008 | See all donovans's reviews (23)OK, so this album is not as good as the 4 albums released before it, but it's still a very good piece of work from the band!! What this album lacks, compared to those other 4, is songs that u can instantly get into!! ('DM' had 'Live Forever' & 'Supersonic'. 'WTSMG' had 'Wonderwall' & 'Dont Look Back In Anger'. 'BHN' had 'Stand By Me' & 'D'You What I Mean?'... etc.) but there are some gems on this album......like the #1 single, 'Go Let It Out'. Another cracker is the dark 'Gas Panic!', (imo, one of Noel's greatest songs!!). but, like the rest of album, it takes a few listens to get into it!! but when u do, u'll love these songs!! other examples are 'Sunday Morning Call', 'Where Did It All Go Wrong?', 'Who Feels Love?' and 'Roll It Over'...overall, it's a pretty good album, and deserves more credit. but it just isn't as 'instant' as Oasis' previous material...
5 Standing on the shoulder of giantsjonesyat42 | 23/01/2009 | See all jonesyat42's reviews (20)This is a superb album,echoing the views of ThomasRN,tracks like Gas Panic!,Go let it out,etc do get overlooked when Oasis tracks are mentioned.Buy it!
4 Highly Underated AlbumNoelGallagher | 01/10/2007 | See all NoelGallagher's reviews (3)This album has some of noel's most darkened thoughts and lyrics like Gas Panic which is an immense song about Noel coming off drugs. Other deep and meaningful songs are Where did it all go Wrong and Who feels love?.This is certainly Oasis' most heavy album and its less pop than albums such as dont believe the truth. There are a few songs on here though to skip such as 'Put your money where your mouth is' and I can see a liar'. But there are certainly more good than bad with also the singles 'Go let it out' and 'Sunday Morning Call'.

Defective Product Injury Lawsuit
Locate a Local Products & Services Lawyer
What Is a Defective Product Injury?
If a product is defective in its design, manufacture, or warning about dangers, then the user or purchaser may become injured as a result. If the defective product was the cause of the injury, then the purchaser may recover for his injuries.
Any person injured by a defective product can sue the manufacturer of the defective product and potentially the party responsible for repairing the product. The injured party may also sue the seller of the product, including wholesalers or distributors responsible for getting the product from the manufacturer to the retailer, even if the seller did not cause the defect. Some states even allow a victim to sue a seller of used goods, depending on the facts of the case.
How Do I Win a Defective Product Injury Suit?
The good news for consumers is that most courts hold defective product injury to strict liability. It does not matter what the producer's intentions were or how careful the producer was, the producer is liable for any injuries the product causes if the product was used correctly by the consumer. It is the product, not the manufacturer, which is on trial. As such, the consumer only has to prove these elements to win a defective product injury case:
- A defect existed when the producer last had control over the product
- Consumer used the product properly
- The product's defection cause the injury
- The injury is severe enough to warrant recovery
Although defective products are held to strict liability, the use of strict liability does not prevent claims of careless design or creation from being brought. Similarly, a lawsuit can also claim that the product failed to work as promised.
What Defenses Might a Manufacturer Raise Against Me?
There are a number of defenses a manufacturer could raise if sued. These defenses include:
- The consumer did not use the product properly
- The product did not cause the injury
- The product was not defective when the manufacturer released the product into the market
- The consumer consented to using the product knowing that use of the product might be dangerous
- The consumer was engaging in behavior which contributed to the injury
What if the Defective Product Was Part of a Larger Product?
Sometimes the defective product is part of a larger product. For example, perhaps the tires of an automobile are defective. In that instance, the person injured as a result of the defective tires may sue the car manufacturer and the tire manufacturer.
Do You Need a Lawyer if You Were Injured by a Defective Product?
If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product, you should speak to an attorney immediately to learn more about preserving your rights and remedies. For example, a Defective Products Lawyer will know to immediately preserve the defective product, even if it has been damaged. Certain defective products may be part of a defective product class action lawsuit.

Patch 4.3 PTR: Valor and conquest point changes
On the PvP side of the equation, the number of conquest points received for the first daily Battleground is increasing to 100 up from 25, allowing players to work toward their conquest point caps quicker while not feeling like they have to run Rated Battlegrounds or Arenas. Both Rated Battlegrounds and Arenas will still earn players points more quickly, but this change should allow those players who prefer regular Battlegrounds to not be left in the dust.
I cannot help but wonder, other than what has already been explained, what the motivation is behind further changing the raid game to make 10- and 25-man raiding so similar. While I have raided in both size groups and enjoy both types of environment, a 25-man raiding guild at this time is at a severe disadvantage when it comes to encounter difficulty. We just reported yesterday that over 1,000 guilds have killed heroic Ragnaros, with a majority of those kills on the 10-man size. It is readily becoming apparent that the only reason to raid with a 25-man group is that of personal choice as opposed to mechanical differences. What confuses me is the insistence on the 25-man raid size for the Raid Finder, when 25-mans are further being de-emphasized.
Badges and valor points originally were the consolation prize for not being lucky with your drops in dungeons. Back in The Burning Crusade, you augmented your gear with badge gear because something that you needed just wouldn't drop. Now, valor point gear is a necessary step in gearing up your character. I understand the reasons for slowing valor acquisition and agree with those sentiments. However, is it worth lowering the desire to do 25-man raiding even more for those guilds out there that still raid in the 25-man raid size? How many of them are left that really care? I'd love to know why we are still raiding 25-man raid instances.
This change is being made to further emphasize the desire to kill bosses for the items they drop. In the 4.3 raid, tier sets can only be earned from boss drops, and as Raid Finder will allow for just about anyone to get a chance to kill bosses, we think there will be less need for Valor overall. We want to try to match the lower desire for VP with a slightly slower acquisition rate.
We appreciate your thoughts and constructive discussion on how these changes may affect you and your guild once 4.3 is released.
We're also making changes to Conquest, recently announced, found here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3595670888
I thought one of the incentives to do 25 man over 10 was to get more points, so cap faster for the week?
Wow, that idea didn't even last the expansion it was put in for, did it?
Our intent is to start acting even more on our Mists of Pandaria philosophies of encouraging players to approach the content they want to, how they want to, and be able to work toward meaningful player progression. Arenas and rated battlegrounds will still earn Conquest faster, but with this change you can now work your way up by running normal BGs, if you so choose.
We're also making changes to VP, recently announced, found here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3595371172
Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Review the official patch notes, and then dig into what's ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back!

Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana
Occasionally Tom, who lives for books and still takes all his research notes on 4 by 6 cards, concedes that digital collections can be useful. He often uses the Earlham School of Religion's Digital Quaker Collection, which makes available on-line dozens of Quaker works published before 1923 and is keyword searchable. A search there for the word "committee" is revealing. In Quaker works published between 1650 and 1800, "committee" appears 22 times. Between 1801 and 1900, it appears 78 times. A post-1900 compilation, were it possible, would doubtless show an explosion.
Why did this happen? Obviously, it reflects institutionalization and bureaucratization of a sort. Friends moved in this direction as the functions and focus of Quaker organizations changed in the 19th century, because Friends felt called to a variety of new tasks as expressions of their faith. Reading the minutes of 19th-century monthly meetings, one finds typically standing committees on education (overseeing the monthly meeting school), the poor (relieving Friends in need), and facilities (usually looking after the meetinghouse and burying ground). The select meeting, or meeting of ministers and elders, functioned like the current ministry and oversight or ministry and counsel committee.
By the mid-19th century, however, Friends felt called to do more. Sometimes they copied other denominations, in setting up First Day schools, which needed a committee. Then came the Civil War, when Friends took up as a particular concern the needs of freed people. So there were "Freedmen's" committees. After the Civil War, Friends formally assumed responsibility for certain groups of Native Americans, so there were Indian committees. Many Friends saw a need for formal work against the dire effects of alcohol, so there were Temperance committees. As Gurneyite Friends developed a strong missionary impulse after 1860, Missionary committees became common. The number of examples could be multiplied by the concerns.
The changes in worship adopted by most American Friends in the late nineteenth century also contributed to the growth of committees. Finance committees became important as pastoral salaries had to be raised. Music committees took responsibility for that aspect of congregational life. In back of all of this was a feeling that the most efficient church work required clear organization and s specialization, which would have been a given among Protestants at the time. And so God graced, or afflicted, Friends with committees.
Do you have a Quaker history question to "Ask Tom"?

3rd round (90th overall), 2011 |

Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2008-09: Alexandre Grenier missed much of the season due to injury – skating in two games for the Saint-Jerome Panthers in the Quebec AAA Junior Hockey League.
2009-10: Grenier was the fourth-leading scorer for the Saint-Jerome Panthers in his first full season with the club. In 51 games he scored 26 goals with 28 assists and 63 PMs. The Panthers finished fourth in the 14-team league. In seven playoff games Grenier scored 1 goal with 3 assists and 2 PMs.
2010-11: Grenier joined the QMJHL's Quebec Remparts in mid-season after starting the season with the Saint-Jerome Panthers. In 31 regular season contests as a 19-year-old rookie with the Remparts he scored 9 goals with 15 assists and was -1 with 6 PMs. After finishing first in the East during the regular season Quebec reached the QMJHL semifinals. Grenier was one of four Remparts to score at a point-per-game pace in the playoffs, finishing with 8 goals and 8 assists in 15 playoff games, and was +4 with 4 PMs.
2011-12: Grenier attended camp with the Canucks before returning to the QMJHL for an overage season. Obtained by Halifax from Quebec over the summer, he was the second leading scorer for the Mooseheads with 25 goals and 39 assists in 64 regular season games and was minus-two with 42 penalty minutes. Ten of his 25 goals were scored on the power play. After finishing second to league champion Saint John in the Maritimes Division, Halifax reached the playoff semifinals. Grenier scored 4 goals with 12 assists in 17 playoff games and was minus-two with 19 penalty minutes. He was tendered a contract offer by the Canucks in June 2012 before signing to play with EC Red Bull in Austria.
2012-13: Grenier returned to North America in January after spending most of the NHL lockout in Austria. He played four games with Vancouver's AHL affiliate in Chicago and had 31 points in 37 games for the ECHL's Kalamazoo Wings. Grenier was -1 with no points and 2 penalty minutes with the Wolves, who missed the AHL playoffs. He scored 10 goals with 21 assists for Kalamazoo and was +2 with 51 penalty minutes. Grenier played in 25 games for Salzburg EC in Austria, scoring 5 goals with 8 assists and 21 penalty minutes.
Talent Analysis
A late bloomer, Grenier pairs size, skating ability and offensive skill into an attractive package. Not breaking into the QMJHL until he was 19-years-old, Grenier is surprisingly mobile for his size and only scratching the surface of his potential. He has the vision and offensively ability to either set up a goal or score one himself, but he will be more effective as he continues to grow into his frame, add strength and use his body more.
Grenier enters the new season with aspirations to make and stay with the Utica Comets after a strong finish to last season with the Kalamazoo Wings. He still has two years remaining on his contract, so it is not technically a make-or-break season for the big man. But after being bounced from Austria, to Chicago, to Kalamazoo, and back to Chicago, he will try to settle into a top-six role with the Comets. He improved his skating skills while in Austria but also suffered a concussion after a head shot.

And by "we" he meant both sides. The players and owners. There was no parsing of blame, no rhetoric meant to influence the masses. Just a simple declarative statement that perfectly embodies the current situation.
The union has dissolved, a lockout will likely ensue at some point, and now football moves from the field to the courts. Football, unfortunately, is all but dead for the immediate future.
The language of the sport officially shifts from touchdowns and first downs to plaintiffs and defendants as the NFL juggles Pandora's box and gambles with the loyalty of its fans.
The last day of mediated talks was an intense and hurried one, according to a multitude of sources. The main discussion was over the additional $1 billion the owners were originally asking the players to give back. The owners significantly reduced that amount in their latest proposal, a source said. The source would not say how much.
The players stuck to their demands about wanting to see the owners' books and the owners continued to refuse, a source said.
The union then went to its membership and, after what was called a spirited discussion with other union members via telephone, union head DeMaurice Smith said the plan was for the union to end negotiations and go to court.
Smith announced at a press conference that huge differences remained. He said the union asked for 10 years' worth of financials from NFL teams. That request was about as likely to be granted as Jim Tressel being elected chief compliance officer at Ohio State.
So here we are. Back and forth we've gone for months. Optimism and pessimism; silence and quiet; threats and non-threats; deadlines and headlines; back-slapping and back-stabbing; mediation and annihilation. To where we are now: Off the cliff and into the great unknown.
With some fans showing their sentiments behind him, Jeff Pash of the NFL meet the media after the union breaks off talks. (AP) |
Football is now in the hands of the lawyers, and you know what Shakespeare said about lawyers.
The abyss we hoped would never be crossed has not only been crossed, but the NFL has set the bridge behind on fire.
This is the most important fact you need to know about this fight: the hatred between the two sides is as intense as ever.
Perhaps the only time players and management despised each other more was the replacement player years. That strike from decades ago left scars that remain. This current situation, in the opinion of a variety of league personnel, is only second to that. Both sides have true contempt for one another on a scale rarely seen in organized sports.
What that means is neither side will give relief or turf. There's no closeness to build upon or common ground to find. The hatred is so intense that true bargaining and negotiation evaporate under the stress.
It's a true fight now. It's a lowdown, brutal, dirty battle that will last months.
Several players have told CBSSports.com that some players in the past few weeks have basically stopped spending as preparation for the legal fight. Some are selling off cars or cutting expense elsewhere, just in case there's no paycheck many months from now (seems a little extreme, eh?). Wives and girlfriends are being informed that vacations and lavish spending are going to cease. (The only thing missing are survival seeds.) Players, in other words, are preparing as if a long battle is coming, and it is.
This is likely how things will go from here:
Owners lock the players out.
The union's antitrust lawsuit against the league (which includes big-name plaintiffs like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning) goes before Judge David Doty to prevent a lockout. In the end, Doty rules for the players.
Eventually, most likely, the football offseason and free agency are played under 2010 rules while court cases and talks continue for months. Football arrives in the fall after a series of bloody fights and shaken faith among many in the fan base.
Football probably returns in September.
The unpredictability of the courts and player finances are the two wild cards in this process. If the fight goes longer than expected, the power switches from the players (where they have the advantage now), to the owners. Doty gives players the short-term muscle.
Yet we all know the truth. The unfortunate, ugly truth.
In this, everyone loses.

The famed sloop "Clearwater" will participate in a flotilla of ships on the Riverdale waterfront for the fourth year of this festive celebration of the river and the environment. Accompanying the majestic, 106-foot Clearwater, a replica of the sloops that sailed the Hudson in the 18th and 19th centuries, will be the sailing ship A.J. Meerwald, a two-masted Delaware Bay oyster schooner built in 1928; and the antique fireboat John J. Harvey.
Boat rides on the river will be offered on both the day of the festival and the day before, Saturday, June 29. Space is limited on the boats, but guaranteed reservations for all rides can be made for a small fee on the Riverdale RiverFest website, www.riverdaleriverfest.org.
This year's Riverdale RiverFest will run from 12 noon to 6 p.m. and will feature non-stop music, more than 50 exhibitors, special activities for children, a greenmarket, and Renaissance-style fantasy battles by the popular Society for Creative Anachronism.
RiverFest will offer an exciting selection of foods for every taste. A variety of foods will be available throughout the day, including kosher, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. From more traditional festival fare to the exotic flavors of the Caribbean, South India, Mexico and the Mediterranean, and sweet treats such as fresh waffles, artisanal cakes and pastries,
The festival is organized and run entirely by community volunteers and supported by all local elected officials and more than 40 community organizations, including the neighborhood's schools and religious institutions.
The purpose of the festival is to celebrate the Hudson river and promote the Hudson River Greenway Link, an initiative to extend the Hudson River greenway from its current terminus at the north end of Manhattan through the Bronx along the Riverdale waterfront to Yonkers. A map of the proposed route, along with information about the Greenway, will be displayed during Riverdale RiverFest.

Elements Yoga & Wellness Center | ||
Sunday, 9/29 ~ from 1:00-4:15pm Physically you cannot be anxious and relaxed at the same time, which is why everyone can benefit from a regular restorative practice. In this largely experiential workshop, we'll explore the physical, emotional, and energetic shifts that occur when the body is placed in conscious rest, and learn why sleeping isn't as restful as we might think. We'll also learn to use props such as blankets, blocks, bolsters and straps to offer comfort, support and subtle stretches, as well as how to alleviate the effects of particular conditions and/or injuries. For the last 11 years, Rita Trieger has been teaching yoga for various departments of Stamford Hospital, including the Bennett Cancer Center (BCC), where she has built a strong yoga community for cancer patients and survivors, The Health and Fitness Institute (HFI), where she teaches therapeutic and Vinyasa classes, and Intensive Cardiac Rehab (ICR) where she serves as the stress-management facilitator for the Dean Ornish Program for the Reversal of Heart Disease. Rita has taught yoga therapy to medical students at Yale University, as well as rst and second year students at Northern Westchester Medical School, and has presented at several national yoga conferences, including the International Yoga Therapy Conference (IYTC), and the Montreal International Symposium for Therapy and Yoga (MISTY 2011), Canada's rst yoga therapy conference. Her abstract and article, Open Heart Yoga was published in the spring of 2011, for the medical journal, Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation (TGR). |

Rubber Bandito - classic 2D platformer by ColdDish
Hello Touch Arcade!
I'm the designer on an upcoming iOS / Android game, Rubber Bandito, and wanted to talk about our game on a forum where there are a lot of people who are big mobile gamers and know the classics. We tried to capture the essence of defining platformers like Mario and Sonic, but shrink it into a distilled, concise mobile experience. Something that plays well in little chunks but still has the depth of experience (exploration, twitch, precision, completionism, traps, puzzles, etc) of those classics. There is a lot of 'off path' exploration and challenge, which is hugely influenced from Mario 3. The combat reminds me of Sonic 2, in that you often 'pounce' on enemies as they meander around the environment. You control Bandito, a Native American shaman that returns to his village to find that a steampunk Imperial army has taken over. It's basically a Charles Bronson "Death Wish" story from that point. The controls are conceptually simple and something everyone's now used to- the slingshot. We wanted to avoid virtual buttons at all costs, but still be able to have precise input. Since you can only double jump and have no air control (that's a big deal and affected the level design a lot), you are required to really focus on your aim and make sure you're taking a 'good shot'. The double jump can get you out of some trouble, but if your jump is bad enough there'll be nothing you can do and you'll die like Sonic bouncing repeatedly off spikes. The game is often very unforgiving, but I usually feel like a death is my fault. It generates about the right amount of frustration for me (this is a delicate thing to mess with). Our parts bin is stark, made up of 7 enemy types and 2 hazard types, and of course moving platforms. We wanted to milk them, exploit them in the ways that classic platformers have. Every level was designed around a unique gimmick, or specific setups. We have all the classics; a 'ride the moving platform' level, a maze filled with traps level, a sinking platforms into lava level, a climbing the side of a mountain level… Basically all the tricks that you're used to, but reduced to their bare elements. It's surprising, really, how much gets done with so few parts. Another thing that was distilled down was how the game rates your performance. Your score and life are the same thing, and your goals are to complete every level (avoid running out of health) and getting a perfect rating (collecting and killing everything, never taking any damage). The line between these is carefully balanced, and you may find yourself doing very well one moment, but after making a mistake it all goes downhill quickly until you're at a point where you can't afford to take another hit. We really wanted to create a game that recognizes true mastery. The art is high rez, but really abstract. When we asked our art guys for 'retro but not pixel art', this is what we got. It reminds me a lot of Donkey Kong Country, and surely the art is technically similar (prerendered sprites). You don't see a lot of the detail on an iPhone, but on larger screens and tablets the characters look fantastic. The environments are classically abstracted (it's a bunch of squares! No it's not, it's a trainyard!) and very textured and look great on Retina devices. Our parallaxing code is from scratch, there is definitely a certain artificiality to depth in true 2D games that can only be captured in this way. The music is one of my favorite things about the game. The composer created some very nostalgic yet modern music. Again wanting to avoid the 'standard' retro palette, he avoided chiptunes and created something that captures the melodic nature and looped structure of 16-bit music, but integrates modern production values. Functionally, the music is also a caricature of the classics, with a super-loud 'level complete' song, and a 'dun dun dun' death jingle (I think I played the Castlevania death jingle for him way too many times). Thanks for taking the time to read this Tim Rogers-like rambling diatribe! I really hope you enjoy our game, which is truly a labor of love and our ultimate homage to our favorite games. -Pat Here are some screens and a playthrough video: Last edited by Red1; 10-30-2012 at 02:46 AM.. |

Forum Tramp Snowboard Boots Size 10 - Only Used ONCE
I have for sale a pair of Forum "Tramp" Boots. These boots are size 10 and have only been used ONCE! They are in perfect condition and you wouldn't even be able to tell that they were used at all! I purchased these in November expecting to use them more than I did, but with work and school I just don't have the time I used to. I am asking $100 shipped. Check out my other listings for a Forum Destroyer snowboard and Forum Republic bindings, BRAND NEW Electric goggles, and BRAND NEW Burton pants and jacket. Thanks for looking!

Hi Folks
Just got an 05 focus a couple of weeks ago.
On turning into a junction I pressed the clutch peddle in and at the time thought it was a little harder than normal to press in the last 1/4. Tried to change from 4th to 3rd but she wouldn't go into any gear.
Rolled to a stop and with engine running couldn't get her in to any gear.
With engine off can go through the gears with clutch peddle in.
On starting engine with her in first gear she does want to pull away, but feels like she is trying to pull away in 4th...!! Can not get her to change gear though when engine is running!
Any thoughts and tips greatly appreciated as i'm 200m from home and my rac cover doesn't cover me this close to home so would like to have an idea or two on what the cause could be before I call the local garage.

In the Crosshairs
Boy, it's amazing what kind of left-wing violence there is in the news if you know where to look:
After years of thinking it over, Floyd Corkins finally had a plan.
He'd bought a gun and learned how to use it. He'd loaded three magazines. And he had stopped by Chick-fil-A to pick up 15 sandwiches, which he planned to smear in the dying faces of staffers he expected to kill at the Family Research Council in Washington.
It would be a statement, he said, "against the people who work in that building," according to documents filed in U.S. District Court, where Corkins pleaded guilty on Wednesday to three charges related to the August shooting at the conservative policy group.
Corkins told Judge Richard Roberts that he hoped to intimidate gay rights opponents.
The research council, a Christian group that focuses on family, anti-abortion and religious liberty issues and views homosexuality as harmful, backed Chick-fil-A in the ensuing controversy.
"They endorse Chick-fil-A and also Chick-fil-A came out against gay marriage, so I was going to use that as a statement," prosecutors quoted Corkins as telling investigators.
What on earth inspired him to go on a killing spree?
Corkins — who had chosen the research council as his target after finding it listed as an anti-gay group on the website of the Southern Poverty Law Center — had planned to stride into the building and open fire on the people inside in an effort to kill as many as possible, he told investigators, according to the court documents.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has listed the Family Research Council as a hate group since 2010, pointing to what it describes as its anti-gay propaganda and legislative agenda.
On his nightly radio show on Wednesday, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins mentioned the plea deal and accused the Southern Poverty Law Center of playing a role in the shooting by inciting hatred and violence rather than fighting it — a claim he has repeatedly made since the shooting.
"The Southern Poverty Law Center is dangerous. They are inciting hatred, and in this case a clear connection to violence," he said on the radio broadcast. "They need to be held accountable, and they need to be stopped before people are killed because of their reckless labeling and advocacy for homosexuality and their anti-Christian stance."
Just like the gentleman we reported on yesterday who shot three women because they were white.
My observation isn't about the race of the criminals (or the victims), which is irrelevant—it's about their politics.
Aggie and I have reported on this before, but let us remind you: many on the Left are dangerous. Treat them as mentally unstable until proven otherwise.

Sou'Wester news
Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter met with senior Chinese government officials and business leaders in Shanghai on Sept. 17, to support trade and investment in Nova Scotia.
The meeting was during the 11-day Council of the Federation trade mission to China.
Premier Dexter continued to promote Nova Scotia's ocean technology and ship-building sectors during meetings with the Polar Research Institute of China. The institute co-ordinates Chinese polar research with an ice breaker and research stations in the Arctic and Antarctic. Premier Dexter held an initial meeting with the Institute in Halifax in April.
"Our shared interest in the ocean represents a tremendous opportunity for Nova Scotia and China to encourage partnerships between our research communities and marine industries," said Premier Dexter, chair of the Council of the Federation. "Nova Scotia recognizes the importance of the marine industries to our economy and we have identified oceans technology as a strategic sector for future investment and development."
Nova Scotian companies are pioneers in underwater acoustics and imaging, marine communications, navigation, and a wide variety of enhanced engineering and environmental services. Nova Scotia's marine technology sector generates more than $500 million annually, double the amount it made in 2003.

This is my signature so believe me, I know this fragrance well. Perhaps it was just an old tester but when I got it in the mail it had a flat, musty smell, unlike any other Radiance I have ever owned. :( However, I also purchased a tester of Curious by Britney from this place and it smelled fine.

Penelope Umbrico: Photographs by Penelope Umbrico
Penelope Umbrico: Photographs is a delightful book of images created by harvesting pictures used in social media and print marketing. Umbrico creates photo collages out of printed works by using entire images as mere elements within a larger composition. Umbrico's book is a look at how the image typologies found within consumerism and recreation work to seduce us. To be sure, her compilations are even more seductive, not to mention inspirational. This book includes 100 four-colour images as well as a series of essays and excerpts from theoretical works.
Hardcover, 172 pages. Aperture, 2011. $45.04 at Amazon.

Formula Enterprise Car
Compete with your driving skills, not your wallet.
The Formula Enterprise car, with its raised nose, side pods and multi-plane wings has a Formula One look. The pushrod-type suspension, sequential gear box and wide wheels give the car an Indy Car feel. With sealed engines, spec transmissions, shocks, tires and brakes, the formula puts emphasis on driving ability and preparation.
FREIGHT Freight rates and fees are estimated to be $2,400 to $3,500 by sea and land, depending on the delivery zip code. Freight time is estimated at 5 to 6 weeks. Pick-ups at Enterprises can be arranged but sales tax may be a consideration.
DELIVERY Production rate is six plus cars per month. Some assembly will be required, as the engine will not be mounted to the chassis and the corners will require reinstallation after shipment. Engine plumbing and electronics will need to be installed. This chassis comes partially assembled but we recommend full disassembly and final assembly and inspection be performed before driving. WHY THESE CARS NOW? Driver skill and cost containment is the focal point. An entry-level car with minimal adjustments, sealed engines, set horsepower, and equal traction along with a truly high-tech presentation. Controlled through standardized components, drive train, adjustments and tires. The car is designed for the up-and-coming new driver as well as the current member looking for low budget competition. The level playing field of controlled competition allows the driver to showcase his or her true ability in a "drivers class" while maintaining costs. Implementation of this program has the potential of being even more successful for the SCCA racing members then the highly successful Spec Racer Ford program. The Sports Car Club of America and SCCA Enterprises plan to continue full support of the Spec Racer class and automobiles indefinitely. VAN DIEMEN / ENTERPRISES VENTURE Enterprises and Van Diemen are very pleased to have joined forces. With chassis production by Van Diemen and engine, distribution, compliance and stewardship by Enterprises, this is a winning combination. This is a 20-year partnership between Van Diemen and Enterprises. The Mazda 2.3-Liter is one of the newest engines available with a production life of 14 plus years. The car is state-of-the-art with solid cost controls. The car will run and be supported by SCCA and Enterprises for many years to come. CLASS The Competition Board has placed the formula car in Formula Atlantic and the Sports Racer in C Sports Racer. Both cars must follow GCR requirements before the Competition Board will consider assigning either car it's own class. Expectations are that the formula car will have its own class within two years with the sports racer taking longer. COLOR Body panels come in eight colors: white; dark blue; bright blue; dark red; bright red; yellow; green; and black. Color may be specified at the time of chassis order. Color is the gel coat, not paint.

What happens when a guy meets a girl who speaks about cricket?
Article by: Tazeen Syed
Somehow, most men tend to believe that they are the only ones who've been given the right by some superior authority to be enthusiastic about the cricket as a sport. Meeting a woman actually seriously interested in cricket is an alien concept.
Having come across many such species, here are five priceless reactions I have got from them:
1. Boy: *Strikes up a conversation on sports* Which sport do you like?
Me: Cricket
Boy: *Impressed* I was wondering if you want to catch up for a coffee?
2. Me: *Goes on and on about a particular game *
Boy: *Lost and dreamy eyed*
Me: Hello? What?
Boy: It's quite attractive when girls talk about serious cricket
Me: ERM!
3. Me: *Tweets some fancy stat related to cricket*
Boy: *Counter-reacts and asks another stat trivia to check if a girl really knows her cricket*
Me: *Answers without any expression*
Boy: *Still in a state of shock, asks a another stat trivia to double check*
Me: *Answers again without much effort*
Boy: *Disappears and hides behind his ego*
4. Me: God forbid, if I have an altering view on the sport from the higher authorities ie. The men.
Boy: *Offended* *tries to dig every possible fact, name and instance in the history of cricket since its inception to not prove his view but to prove his knowledge*
Me: *Start to appreciate Ravi Shashtri's commentary instead*
5. Boy: Oh so you are one of those girls who are cricket fan coverts post the T20 era. You know we 'real fans' don't consider T20 as a real sport right?
Me: No. I have been interested in cricket since a kid. As an Indian I have always been attached to the sport.
Boy: Aah, then it must have started off with crushing on Rahul Dravid, then Dhoni and now Virat Kohli.
Me: *Gives up*
Girls, if you've come across some similar reactions or have funnier ones to add do share them below!

InfoWorld preview: Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 impresses
A wealth of additions, refinements, and bug fixes has Microsoft's IDE pumped up and primed for March release
In beta 2, Visual Studio 2010 is beginning to show the rather attractive shape of things to come. It supports software process with Team Foundation Server (TFS), and provides intelligent targeting of different .Net versions, allowing most shops to stop using old Visual Studio versions. It supports test-driven development, and it adds historical debugging, as well as support for concurrency. Silverlight RIA development, the F# functional programming language, and ASP.Net MVC 2 are all included in the product. The new WPF-based IDE is now fast enough to use, and with a few exceptions, the entire studio is a little quicker than Visual Studio 2008.
I have been working with Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 on and off since it was released last month, most recently for my first look at the SharePoint 2010 beta. In addition to the many, many attractive new features, Beta 2 corrects the deficiencies I noticed in my first look at Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1, and it corrects many bugs that I hadn't noticed. You can even go live with this version if you wish, which means that you can start using it to develop and deploy production applications. Overall, Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 demonstrates credible progress toward having a kick-ass IDE for Microsoft's planned March 2010 release date.

TFS Basic
As I mentioned early in October, in this beta Microsoft has dropped the ancient Visual SourceSafe in favor of TFS Basic. TFS goes way beyond Visual SourceSafe in many ways, starting with its use of a true database and continuing with its work item tracking and ongoing software metric collection. I had no abiding love for the often unreliable Visual SourceSafe, but I was a little hesitant about installing TFS, due to my experience with installing earlier versions; I was also put off by TFS Basic's confusing installation options. As it turned out, TFS Basic installed fairly smoothly on my Windows 7 for x64 box, and I was able to tie TFS to an existing SQL Server 2008 Express instance without too much trouble.
The only real installation issue I had was that TFS unexpectedly grabbed port 8080; I had to move the server software that had been using port 8080 to a different port. I worried ahead of time that running TFS Basic would slow down my machine, but I haven't noticed much of a change. Using TFS is a little more complicated than using Visual SourceSafe, but it offers much better options for version control -- such as shelving, unshelving, and better merging -- and adds significant support for software processes and software project management.
The lack of Visual SourceSafe support does mean that Visual Studio 2010 can't safely edit my old Classic ASP Web site, which uses SourceSafe for version control. If there's a way to fix that site to use a more modern version control system, I'd like to know what it is. Meanwhile, I can still edit the site in Visual Studio 2008.
I was pleased to see the improved performance of beta 2 compared to beta 1. For many things, Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 now seems to be even a little faster than Visual Studio 2008 SP1. However, there are still episodes when the beta 2 UI becomes unresponsive for minutes at a time and the dreaded "Visual Studio is busy" notification displays. If there's a reproducible pattern to this, I haven't found it, but I most often see it during one kind of initialization or another. I know that the people currently managing Visual Studio 2010 are very sensitive to performance issues, so I'm confident that these bugs, however intermittent they may be, will be tracked down and fixed by March.
One of the small but useful old features missing in the beta 1 code editor was column select (Alt-drag). It's back in beta 2, but it's often disconcertingly slow to catch up to the mouse, especially if you're selecting a large box of text.

Sweet 1600
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- On this day that sequestration has taken hold -- in what seems like the final descent into madness -- I want to offer investors some good news.
It's this: The S&P 500 index will close at an all-time high this year, and it will at some point cross the 1,600 mark. I doubt it will end the year there and will more likely settle at 1,575 for a gain of about 8% (before dividends) -- which, given last year's 13% return, represents a fairly spectacular run since 2011 began.
I don't really feel as if I am going out on a limb here. First, 1,600 is a mere 5-1/2% away. A few days of drunken ebullience will get us there. Second, as discussed in more detail below, there are a variety of positive influences on our economy that will drive equities higher.
Housing inventories. Two weeks ago at the Ibbotson Morningstar conference in Florida, I sat in on a presentation from St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank economist Kevin Kliesen. There was one statistic he let loose that made my jaw drop: housing inventories (the number of homes available for purchase) are below 2001 levels.
This, combined with an improving jobs picture, a rising GDP (see below) and low interest rates, sets the stage for the comeback in housing we've all been awaiting. I think 2013 is the year it will finally arrive. Some people are afraid that rising interest rates will choke off the recovery in housing. The Federal Reserve has sent some conflicting signals of late -- such that policies will favor low rates only to encourage job growth -- but my read of the tea leaves (and I'm afraid that is the best anyone can do with interest rates) -- is they will remain low for the balance of the decade. These low rates, combined with what appears to be ultra-low housing inventory, sets the stage for new and existing home purchases and all of the derivative industries housing supports such as construction equipment, durable goods, building products, electronics, hardware, lawn care equipment, Internet services and so on. Big-ticket purchases. The only other purchase more helpful to the economy than a home is a car. The auto market is ripe for a little pep. I'm taking my cue here from what's going on in the used-car market. Prices are rising, and dealers are spending more time and effort getting their hands on used cars. This matters because by using some well structured financing, dealers can re-sell their old customers new cars for a smaller monthly payment. Here's two data points that corroborate my thoughts about the used car market and its impact on the new car market. In the repossession market, last's year's tally of 1.3 million vehicles, was down almost 32% from the peak year of the recession in 2008, and is the lowest count in 12 years. Further, used-car seller Manheim sold 2.5 million fewer vehicles in 2012 than in 2011. Rising GDP. Fourth-quarter 2012 GDP, initially reported as a contraction of 0.1%, has been revised upward to an expansion +0.1%. No great shakes but consumer confidence is a fickle thing, and a shrinking GDP undermines settlement while a growing GDP, no matter how little, is additive to consumer sentiment. The great migration. There's a lot of money on the sidelines and/or in fixed-income securities. For several years strategists have predicted this money will migrate into equities. This year, 2013, will represent the fifth year the market has been in positive territory (though one could quibble that 2011 was not flat, but rather was a loss of 0.04%). In 2008, the equity market sold off and the S&P 500 index fell by 38.5%. You could argue that it's been long enough to forget the pain and suffering of 2008. You could also argue that with ultra-low interest rates, many pension funds have been paying out more than they've been taking in, and that they need the kinds of returns equities can generate. Of the two arguments, I'm not saying which I believe has more sway. I will say, however, that fund flows from money markets in December and January (and most likely in February as well) into equities have steadily gained steam. When you add it all up -- housing, low interest rates, expanding GDP, big-ticket purchases in the wings, and the great migration into equities -- someday we're going to look back and call these the good old days.

Fantastic would loved to have been there! Was there back in June when an Air France A340 landed. I flew out before it took off. Passengers, rather than on the beach for a spectacular display. Passengers, rather than on the beach for a spectacular display VERY NICE.. That is WAY KEWEL! It looks like one could jump and bump their hear on the landing gear! Whew, that's low! Any pilots on here who have made this approach, love to hear your stories! Nice shot! The SUV closest to the camera is an Infinite FX-35. If one had one of those big monster truck ,one may not want to drive it on that road! Been one of those folks under a KLM 747 and an Air France A380.... oh the adrenaline high!! Ready to go back any time!!

Hillary Clinton departs State: What's her legacy as top US diplomat? (+video)
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton steps down Friday. Her supporters say she has reenergized America's working relationships with allies and partners, while some critics ask what her defining accomplishments are.
Hillary Rodham Clinton steps down as America's top diplomat still flying high.
After four years as President Obama's secretary of State and America's ambassador to the world, Mrs. Clinton is perhaps the globe's most recognizable woman – one of her few rivals might be the queen of England – and she figures among the most admired.
Clinton's approval rating among Americans is almost unheard-of in the current climate of over-the-top partisanship: She consistently scores 70 percent or better. And many political pundits assume the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, not to mention the presidency, is hers if she wants it.
Yet despite Mr. Obama's recent pronouncement of Clinton as "one of our finest" secretaries of State, expert opinions are more divided over the job Clinton did and the impact she's had on US foreign policy.
Clinton's last day on the job is Friday, when she'll culminate a week of valedictory events and goodbyes to an adoring State Department staff. On Thursday she addressed the Council on Foreign Relations on the future of American power, after holding a global town-hall meeting earlier in the week with youths asking questions via satellite.
Also in her last week, Clinton gave a series of sit-down interviews to some of the women journalists assigned to the State Department, underscoring her focus on women's empowerment.

Does Thickening Liquids Work to Prevent Aspiration in Patients with Dementia?
There is still debate over the use of thickening agents to prevent aspiration and aspiration pneumonia. Some clinicians frequently use thickened liquids on all patients showing signs of aspiration, while other clinicians rarely use thickening agents. Thickened liquids DO prevent aspiration in SOME patients, but are certainly not for everyone with a swallowing disorder. Results from the largest clinical trial for dyphagia treatment showed that thickened liquids do not always prevent aspiration pneumonia in patients with dementia.
Liquids are the most common consistency aspirated in the elderly population. Thickening liquids is a very common practice, even in the absense of evidence such as a modified barium swallow study. Thickened liquids costs approximately $200 a month. It also reduces the patient's quality of life, as they may not enjoy drinking liquids anymore. Patients may then refuse to drink liquids althogether, leading to dehydration. Other problems may be that the liquids are not mixed to the appropriate consistency, either too thick or too thin to their target level. This may increase risk for further medical complications (Garcia, J.M, et al).
One study, "Comparison of 2 Interventions for Liquid Aspiration on Pneumonia Incidence: A randomized Trial" (2008) looked at patients with dementia who had thin liquid aspiration and compared the effect of chin down posture with the effect of nectar and honey thickened liquids. The study is the largest clinical trial for dysphagia treatment. The most frequently successful intervention to eliminate thin liquid aspiration was honey thick liquid, followed by nectar thick liquids and then the chin-tuck posture. This was shown during video flurouscopy. To determine pneumonia rates, if the patient's aspiration was eliminated by all of the interventions (chin down, nectar thick liquids and honey thick liquids), the patient was randomly assigned to one of those conditions. If the patient aspirated on all the interventions, but still wished to participate in oral intake, the patient was also randomly assigned. Patients who aspirated on one or two interventions were not included. About half the patients did not benefit from any intervention (aspirated on all interventions). The study then determined the incidence of aspiration pneumonia.
It was determined if the patient got aspiration pneumonia within 3 months of the study. Pneumonia was defined as evidence of pneumonia on a chest xray or three or more of the following: sustained fever greater than 100 degrees F, rales or rhonchi on chest auscultation, sputum gram stain showing significant leukocytes, sputum culture showing respiratory pathogen.
Pneumonia occured in 11% of the individuals in the study, which is lower than the incidence of pneumonia in patients with dementia-20-40%. The incidence of pneumonia in the chin down group was 0.098, nectar thick was 0.084, and 0.150 in the honey thick liquids group. Therefore participants in the nectar thick liquid group had lower incidence of pneumonia than those drinking honey thick liquids. Nectar thick liquids may be easier to clear from the airway because they are less viscous than honey thick liquids.
More patients in the thickend liquid group than in the chin tuck group experienced dehydration (6% vs. 2%), urinary tract infection (6% versus 3%), and fever (4% versus 2%). Length of stay was longer in the honey thick liquid (18 days) compared to 6 days for chin tuck and 4 days for nectar thick.
The study shows that the thicker the liquid is not always best. Patients in the study randomly assigned to the thickened liquid group had more complications such as dehydration, UTI, and fever. The incidence of pneumonia was lowest in chin-down, followed by nectar and then honey thick liquids. An important factor is that the study only included patients who either aspirated on all interventions, or aspirated on none of the interventions were included. It is still not determined if patients whom honey thick liquids reduces aspiration on videofluroscopy, and treated with honey thick liquids will have better outcomes. It appears that chin tuck is a good option if the patient is able to follow the commands and the patient can then still enjoy the taste. Nectar thickened liquids is advantageous, with less need for training and supervision during the swallow process. Honey thickened liquids should be used with caution, without first evaluating other interventions.
