TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.14 / 5.00 4,572 ViewsHere it is. My tribute to Mr. T. Thanks to M2 for giving me the idea. I also made a tribute to Peewee Herman. You might want to check that out. It's not meant to be funny or anything. I just wanted to make a movie to show how much I like him. Same goes with Mr. T because I think it's safe to say that he is the best role model of our generation. Yay for Mr. T! Oh, and by the way... if you want to write stupid mindless reviews telling me how much my movie sucks and how I disgrace Mr. T's name etc. you can go eat a stick because I ain't got no time for no jibba jabba!
your are one crazy Sucah
I was looking through my reviews today and i came across your reply that said you would consider making a T tribute. I checked a list of your most recent movies and sure enough there was "Tribute to Mr. T". This is gold pure gold Jerry, and just as good as your Peewee tribute. We really should get together and combine our flash skills to make the ultimate Tribute. Let me know if your are interested.
Mr. T
you really like Mr. T make something on...The 3 Stooges...since u seem 2 like them
I Pity The Fool
Mr T Thanks You For This Hella Cool Tribute Fool
Go Drink Some Milk

It's Dismantling time yet again! Gam.ebb.jp is back with another dismantlement, and this time it's personal! Well, this time it's a mouse, at any rate. Fun, logical, and it appeals to that little part in all of us that revels in just breaking something down to its basic components. What are you waiting for, start dismantling!
Games Featured:
Ever wonder what happens to the games we feature on Weekend Download? Think the respective developers just take a nap and start on something new? Oh ho HO! You would be wrong! Two of this week's games are updates of titles we featured in the past, proving once and for all (insert significant philosophical observation here).
- • GunFu Deadlands
- • !
- • Sumotori Dreams
- • Magic Planet Snack
- • Dawn's Light: A Christmas Tale
Following Footsteps is a unique and oddly charming game created by Ming-Yee Iu for our recent Game Design Competition 6. While the game didn't win any prizes, it set itself apart through its creative take on the Explore theme and innovative gameplay. Follow in the footsteps of an intrepid explorer, hoping to get your grubby mitts on the gold he lost over a century ago!
A unique blend of defense, action, arcade, and even physics genres results in this tasty new game from developer veteran Tyler Glaiel. Use the forces of attraction to protect your fledgling new world from incoming attackers by sending them hurtling towards one another. The action is fast, the gameplay is clever, and, perhaps best of all, you get to call yourself an environmentalist now. Congratulations!
Ever wished that someone would combine the free-roaming, street-racing style of Grand Theft Auto with the vehicular sabotage of Mario Kart? And then throw in a little bit of Nintendogs just for good measure? Fortunately, the good people at Big Pixel Studios have stepped up and made our dreams into reality with Big Pixel Racing!
Despite all the silliness, there's lots of real escaping fun to be had in A Code Escape from Japan. A nice mix of puzzle solving and use of found objects; with the need for the animals' own special abilities thrown in for good measure makes for wonderful gaming experience. There are even two endings to be found in this little gem. Marvel at the leaping dog and the punching cat, just remember to use them well while you are playing nurse.
A light touch and a lot of patience will get you far in this deceptively simple game of shapes and stars. Guide your smiling square to the exit of each level, gathering stars along the way, but beware... spikes, traps, and even time itself are all poised to wipe that grin off its face! Easy to pick up and play, Shape Shape is a light afternoon snack packed with all the square-pushin' action you can handle. And we bet that's a lot!
Androgynous teenagers with gravity-defying hair wandering a mysterious world armed only with cranky comebacks and improbably large weapons? Yes, everything you either love or hate about Japanese RPGs is waiting for you in a convenient Flash package in Ge.ne.sis, a turn-based tactical RPG by An Lieu.
The clans of the Norse-themed world of Nitrome's popular Ice Breaker series are gathering, but they need your help to release their Viking warriors from their icy, impossible, Goldbergian prisons! Ice Breaker: The Gathering provides short but succulent tidbits of new Ice Breaker levels for fans of the series.
It's a blast from the past in this remake of and tribute to the original M.U.L.E., one of the great pioneers of multiplayer gaming. Stake your claim on an alien world with three friends and make the best of your time and resources to come out on top at the end of the game. Just remember to keep an eye out for the wampus.
Simple in its concept but stunning in its execution, Starlight is a puzzle where you manipulate the night sky to reveal images hidden in the constellations. Play on a timer or go as slow as you like and drink in the sights. Lovely, calming, and just the ticket at the end of a long day. Doesn't everyone need a bit of wonder in their lives now and again?
You might want to put the kids to bed before you crack open this fairytale. A spot-the-difference game with a darker side to go hand-in-hand with its innocent artwork, Goldilocks might not be the same tale you remember this time around...
What happens when jmtb02's Elephant series and his Four Second series love each other very, very much? Control your elephantine avatar through a number of quick mini-games in rapid-fire succession. Microgame collections like this one tend to encourage the player to mash buttons, any buttons, so Obey the Game really innovates in the way that it requires the player to take a moment and wait for further instructions.
The title, Finding Friends, is apt for this short and simple game that packs a satisfying, emotional experience. You start the game wandering around in the darkness, a little black square (with cute little white eyes) against a black background, in a maze with black walls. It's with the help of the friends you find that you'll be able to find your way to the exit of the maze.
Beard of Santa is the perfect mid-week pick-me-up, especially at this time of year. Fire up this little gem and learn what you've always suspected: cats are good gymnasts, raccoons are helpful gardeners, composting is good for the environment, and Santa really does suck sometimes, doesn't he?
What's worse than a yeti? Something even bigger and meaner! In this tricky reflex game from Nitrome, help your mythical furry beast escape an unknown fate by swinging ever upwards from pole to pole, collecting points and avoiding enemies. Packed with Nitrome's signature charm, it's a tricky game of timing that is as frustrating as it is fun to play.
Perfect Balance 2 is all about balance in its simplest form. Its down to the basics of physics here, where your goal is to stack a bunch of weird pieces on top of a bunch of other weird pieces and get them all to stay. Get it all assembled, then try and drop a few bonus diamonds on the pile for huge bonus points.
Welcome to Bubble Tanks Tower Defense, a nifty little, free-form tower defense game from the talented guys of Hero Interactive guys. Come, join these trigger-happy bubble tanks as they hunker down for battle. With so many levels and upgrades, the player is guaranteed a wonderful, tower defending good time.
Prepare yourself for an interactive fiction that peels back the truth in layers as you become more and more entwined in this tale of superscience and space exploration. The narrative begins with an itsy-bitsy clue that not all will be as it seems, followed by your character waking up in a fairly unadorned abode. From there, it's up to you as to what you do and how you go about it, but be wary of those who comment on your every move...
Destruction is fun! There's something to be said about games that let you take out all of your pent up anger, especially when you get to take it out on an unsuspecting village. And the pachinko-style gameplay as you're rolling a boulder down a mountain makes this latest game from PixelJam more than just a simple smash-and-destroy type of game.
Forget Beetlejuice, you're the ghost with the most! And you'll have to prove it in this strategic game if you ever want to get out of Hell. Easy to pick up but hard to put down, Hell Tour's addictive, board game style gameplay lacks polish and real punch, but is still devilishly entertaining.
Track down your stolen hens with Dale and Peakot; one armed with a shotgun, the other possessing amazing magical powers... but a mediocre little bird brain. An old-school platformer that would be at home on any console, Dale and Peakot is simple in premise but big on style and charm.
YAWWN! It's a brand new day, time to go out exploring! Level Up! is an RPG-like platformer by Nifty Hat all about exploring the world and discovering your past. In an odd world where the Squarians and Roundians are in a constant and bitter battle, your goal is to collect gems and exchange them for tools to help you restore your memory.
Prepare to embark on a perception-stretching, linearity-quashing adventure of amorphous proportions. Every level contains a pristine red door, only usable for exiting purposes after one or more red keys have been collected. Sounds straightforward enough, but it's funny just how much this game will twist your perceptions of both straight AND forward. All levels are composed of a number of squares, shiftable in a manner akin to a sliding tile puzzle. Each square contains a finite fraction of the overall level itself, and the key to victory lies in prudent transfigurations of the landscape.
Escape Ancient China Room is a lovely, well-put together little escape game that depends more on your ability to combine objects than to solve puzzles. In other words, the bulk of the game is finding and using what you've found. It's a little trickier than most escapes featured in Weekday Escape, and yet still makes for a nice break in the middle of the week with its lovely scenery and the calming music.
Paradoxion Express is a flash-based version of Paradoxion, a download we featured back in April. Created by Russian game design team VSBgames, this free browser version features 60 levels of elegant logic-based combo-making gameplay.
Who wants to go on a treasure hunt? Everybody? That's what I thought! Then grab your green backpack and safari hat, and dive into The Fabulous Explorationsland, a new adventure game from StefanT, and one of the top entries in our sixth Casual Gameplay Design Competition!
A point-and-click adventure set in a magical and mystical world that never was. Created by 3dpi Games, makers of the Tortuga series, Mandrake 1 begins a new series on the foibles of the Van der Dooms and their increasingly bitter dispute. The artwork has a nice, stylish hand drawn look done up in shades of black, white, and gray with just a hint of color here and there to liven things up.
Developed by The Game Telegraph, this simplistic game about putting coloured squares onto a grid is at first hilariously simple, then deviously contrived as you become a victim of your own "that block will be OK to sit there" mentality.
Welcome to Dismantlement: Tea Canister, another great point-and-click where you can have once again have fun reducing something to its basic components. Mind you, there's usually not much to dismantle when it comes to a tea canister. Still, it's nice to tear things apart, so go for it. Take a break from the everyday and start dismantling! Just try not to blow up so much, okay?
Welcome to The Water Well by no1game.net, a quiet room escape game that won't solve all your problems, but is certainly an oasis of calm in an otherwise frantic week.
Fantasy of the Sord is a classically styled adventure game and a finalist in our 6th Casual Gameplay Design Competition. In answer to the call of the competition, Klint Honeychurch has taken the theme of "exploration" and given us a sweet little nugget that harkens back to the early days of console gaming; a time when a flurry of pixels was as well-designed as the high-polygon count, 3D models of today.
Chris and Jeremiah, the talented guys behind Atomic Cicada, are back with a follow-up to Grid, the puzzler that first launched them onto the casual gaming radar. Gridz features 40 levels of the glyph-turning, energy-channeling goodness you've come to expect from the original, without falling into the classic Hollywood bungle of rehashery.
How well do your hands work together? In FireBoy and WaterGirl: The Forest Temple, you're either your own best friend or worst enemy as you simultaneously control two characters throughout fast-paced levels of puzzle-y, platform-y goodness.
Take a journey through one introvert's convoluted mind as you work to cooperate with your past selves, recorded in time. As soon as you reset the clock, the level starts anew, except now there's a phantasmal double of yourself scurrying about, re-enacting your first playthrough move for move. Press [space] again, and add another one to the mix, this one also moving according to the steps you laid out. Some levels will place a restriction on the number of ghostly doppelgangers you can conjure, and these are the levels where you'll have to see just how adeptly you can work with...well, yourself.
Lights... camera... URK. Lottie's got a problem the night of her big stage audition, and she's not willing to go down without a fight. Sarah Morayati's snappily written interactive fiction piece about teenage girls under the limelight suffers slightly from some unintuitive puzzle design, but is easily carried by a memorable cast of characters and some genuinely funny storytelling. Broken Legs is an over-the-top and snarky adventure worth a look from anyone who has at any point ever been a teenager, stereotypes aside.
In What You See, a new point-and-click puzzle game, sometimes what you see isn't what you get. Just follow the instructions for each level, trying to figure out what they mean and then performing the action(s) required. It's a bit like a classic riddle game, but with a large dose of pointing and clicking added to make it accessible to a more casual audience.
Byzantine Perspective is a tight little heist game from this year's annual interactive fiction competition. You're a student with less-than-legal plans for how to fund your education: get into a museum of Byzantine artifacts, get the valuable antique chalice, get out again. You're rigged out in your best cat-burglar clothes, with your best cat-burglar tools — some of them borrowed from an acquaintance, which raises never-answered questions about what sorts of company the protagonist keeps.
Escape From Mr. Y's Room is a relaxing way to stretch your brain in the middle of the week without overheating. Let the bare walls and lilting piano music take you to a very Zen place as you try to escape. Settle into a lotus position, take a deep breath, let it out, and enjoy the Zen of casual gameplay.
How My Grandfather Won the War is a stunningly beautiful game that is worth a second, and even third play through. Treat it as a simple side-scroller or go deeper and explore every inch of its breathtaking cardboard world. The detail is so fantastic you can almost touch the screen and feel the rough edges of haphazardly cut items.
Come, take my hand, and frolic down the brightly lit path of retro arcade gaming in this 2D side-scrolling shooter featuring a flying fox! No, not THAT one! Despite only having three levels, three bosses, and four weapons, Merubyiusu is a fun and frantic tip of the hat to your favourite console games of yesteryear, with just enough difficulty to make it worth your while. Just remember not to cry when kids these days ask you what a "Gradius" is.
We're pleased to announce a very special Casual Gameplay Design Competition, one focused entirely on interactive fiction! For CGDC #7, we're calling on IF authors to craft one-room games incorporating the theme "escape". It's text-only this time around, so you can spend your time polishing puzzles instead of pixels. Full details are below, so fire up your Z-code compiler and get to writing!
Once upon a time, an exceptional game designer decided to put his hands to making a 'cool' game. It worked. The result was Excitebike, a fast-paced and challenging motorbike racing game. Released this year is the strikingly similar debut game from Turborilla, the aptly titled Mad Skills Motocross. While there are obvious differences between the latter and former games, the general idea of "move right using a motorbike while making jumps and going fast" is here, and that's what we like to see.
It's time to kick back, relax, and get ready to be wooed by the trademark soft visuals and simple, addictive casual gameplay of Ferry Halim's newest Orisinal flash game, Drifting Afternoon. Guide a kitten racing through a field on a windy day leaping from bubble to bubble as you try to rack up the highest score.
ClickPLAY has returned! NinjaDoodle's crazy mouse-based game of discovery, geometric shapes, and rampant clicking is back for more with ClickPLAY 2! One part puzzle, one part action, and three parts experimentation, ClickPLAY is all about messing with your environment to see what you can accomplish. And, next to eating chocolate cake while riding a roller coaster through a pool of bacon, it's one of the best ways to spend 15 minutes of your afternoon!
Game developers will often provide players with tools that allow you to create your own level. In Level Editor, they've decided to skip the pre-made levels and just let you get straight to the level-building fun. You play a red hat-wearing stick man with an arsenal of building blocks and a craving for coins.
Who doesn't like popping stuff? Come on, seriously, every time you come across a piece of bubble wrap, soap bubbles in the sink, or a bunch of balloons held aloft by a happy little kid in the park, you just can't resist the urge. See bubble, must pop. Popopopop (or Popopop 2 as my right pinky will insist on typing it) plays on this instinct of ours just like the original Popopop and the Bloons series does. Only now instead of rampant popping, you have do do things with a little bit of strategy.
Mr. Box has gotten himself in a bit of a conundrum falling asleep wherever you find him, and it's your job to wake him up! Push him, pull him, tip him over... whatever gets the job done. Short but solid, Wake Up The Box provides 20 winks of physics puzzle goodness and a bit of charm to boot!
Bart Bonte has given us a stylishly-designed and enjoyable, bunny filled way to have a little fun and waste a little time. Clean, stylish, and polished, Full Moon is a fantastic casual gameplay experience.
Although dark, brooding, atmospheric, scary, or slam-your-head-against-the-desk hard room escapes are always fun, in the middle of the week it's nice to kick back and enjoy something simpler. A nice break from the everyday that won't take up the entire day (or even the entire break, if you're really quick). So sit back, relax, and enjoy a cappuccino of an escape game. With colorful sprinkles!
Taking home first prize in the Casual Gameplay Design Competition is no small feat, but David Shute's deceptively simple game of exploration does it with just a few small worlds. A short platformer that may stay with you a long time, Small Worlds offers detailed and surprising environments for you to reveal in your search for... a little peace and quiet.
For those of us who love the idea of digital espionage but who don't have the ability to hack our way into a paper bag, Exoriare is here to fulfill all of our cyberpunk fantasies. The new alternate reality game from Smoking Gun Interactive sucks you in to a world of government conspiracies and stands poised to keep you hooked for a long time to come.
The hams are on the loose! The cutlery is on the march! AND THE GIANT TURTLES ARE STORMING THE BEACH! No time to ask questions, every able-bodied sloth needs to load up his hot-air balloon with unsafe amounts of explosives and strike back! Super Sloth Bomber, from Megadev, is a short but relentlessly cheery, fasted-paced game of bombs and reflexes.
The popular Battalion series continues with Ghosts, your solution to the daily ain't-go-no-tank blues. It's turn-based strategic warfare at its pixelated finest as the story continues. It's puns, explosions, and tactics galore. Will you emerge triumphant from the ten stage campaign? Or is it back to boot camp for you?
The Control Panel is an oldie but a goodie. Despite its age the game is a tight, well-constructed puzzle solving treat. Stripped of everything that usually accompanies a puzzle of this sort, no story, no background, no instructions, be prepared to sit back and let the gameplay blow your mind (and perhaps cause a concussion, if you end up banging your head against the nearest flat surface in frustration).
From the Discovery Channel comes a casually-oriented strategy game of tactics, battle, mining and exploration. The world's energy reserves have run out, but a new element called helium
Quick, intrepid casual gamer! The world is not at stake, but someone has inconsiderately left these brightly coloured balls lying about! We need someone with a steely eye to launch them into their matching buckets in this physics game of skill. Sound easy? You may be surprised. Simple, effective, and fun, BucketBall 2 is the perfect way to spend your coffee break.
"Welcome subject 7." With those chilling words begins a new room escape adventure series by talented Portuguese designer, Fausto Fonseca. Welcome to the Light Asylum! At least, welcome to the first two rooms, a very promising start to what looks to be an entertaining, mind-stretching series.
Created by gam.ebb.jp, Dismantlement is a puzzle game like you might find in an escape the room game. If you're looking for a fun five to ten minute break from the everyday and you are someone who likes to tear things apart to see how they work, then sit back, relax, and Dismantle the Radio.
If you could rotate the world and change gravity, things like golf, juggling, balancing a spoon on your nose and standing upright after you've been laying down for three hours would be easy. Attracting Twist teases us with that concept by giving you control over the direction gravity flows, allowing you to move the game world and change where things "drop". Using this ability, your goal is to shoot your way to massive chain reactions as enemies slowly spawn near your ship.
With its stylish black and white art and haunting music by Coin, Colour My Heart continues to blur the line between game and experience, between play and art. Using a less linear structure than the first two games allows the player to wander back and forth through the stark, cold landscapes. Although there is a conclusion this is more (much more) about the journey.
There's a cabin in the woods you should stay away from. A quiet little place where time almost seems to stand still. But if you do ignore the warnings and pay a visit, in that dark place, you might want to do a favour for the cabin's lonely occupant. If you don't, you may find yourself staying a long, long time. A point-and-click adventure of paranormal investigation.
Drawing inspiration from popular "castle defense" games like BowMaster Prelude, Elona Shooter adds a serious helping of Asian-influenced, tactical RPG mechanics. You not only get to defend your castle from swarms of oncoming monsters with a satisfying array of weapons and skills, you won't have to go at it alone; an entire tactical RPG-styled party of helpers comes to your aid, eventually.
Rain can be a destructive force, whether it's flash floods decimating crops, acid rain ruining an entire ecosystem, or a light drizzle canceling your afternoon jog. The new physics puzzle game Cover Orange introduces us to a whole new threat: spiky ball rain, which could threaten citrus fruit everywhere.
You awake, dazed and disoriented, on the floor of an empty room, your eyes alighting first on the bricked up windows... and the gun on the ground in front of you. But the house is silent. What could you possibly need to defend yourself against? Find out in this atmospheric point-and-click game mingled with action elements that will have you questioning whether or not you can trust your own eyes.
Occasionally it's nice just to sit back, relax, and fire up the little gray cells to solve a series of puzzles rather than fry them from constant adrenaline. Escape from the Pumpkin Room is not the most original or taxing room escape game, but it's a wonderful cure for the mid-week blahs. A nice combination of logic puzzle solving and use of found objects guarantees that you will enjoy stretching the neurons a little without ending up slamming your head on the desk in frustration.
It's more isometric puzzle adventuring with Tangerine Pop Game's release of Grave Shift 2: The Sewers. Our courageous bearded pal finds himself in the kingdom's sewers after the first Grave Shift, and now the White Warlock is setting traps to keep his loot safe. Move through the dank environments pushing blocks, smacking enemies with a shovel, gathering keys and collecting treasures as you go, all in the name of giving King Krump extra gold.
Descend deep beneath the earth in this free RPG based in a realm of danger and fantasy. Create a character and join a scouting team sent to explore the realm of dwarves. When disaster meets your party, leaving you the only survivor, you'll have to rely on your wits to survive as you travel deeper into unraveling the mystery. Gain party members, train your skills, and battle fearsome beasts in your quest.
Have you been looking for a way to replay (or perhaps play for the first time) the banner game that Rob Allen created for us a couple years ago? When we updated the site layout moving to a larger, wider format, we temporarily lost the ability to swap stylesheets. But now it's back! Just click the image above to switch the stylesheet over to the one that includes the banner game. Click it again to switch it back.
NinjaKiwi's Bloons Tower Defense 4 is here at last, stepping over Bloons Tower Defense 3 and adding much more of everything we love! New units, new maps, better upgrades, and more evil bloons to pop! While some may complain about the addition of mochi coins, BTD4 can generate hours of fun without ever having to go near the purchasable content. So kick back, peel a banana, and begin the balloon popping fun!
This little Dralien baby needs to find his mommy, and it's not gonna let hostile aliens, baffling contraptions, or anything else get in its way. Gameplay takes place across a series of scenes, each infested by dangerous foes, puzzling mechanisms, and other varied points of interest. Any and all clickable hot spots are highlighted with little white circles, drawing your attention to anything you might need to solve the situation at hand.
Take control of your weapon, and start defending the planet from invaders in Vector Conflict: The Siege. The game takes you back to the early days of arcade games, back when games like Tempest and Omega Race were the new guys on the block. With its glorious vector graphics, Vector Conflict looks like the brother of the classic tank combat game Battlezone, and plays like a cross between that and a turret defense game.
Do morphemes of prodigious extensiveness accelerate your cardiovascular thingamajig? If so, why not try Word Machine, a word construction game from Pascal Le Merrer?
Behind every brave little German boy there's a clever little German girl. Which is a good thing in this slightly twisted point-and-click retelling of the classic fairytale, since Gretel is clearly the brains of the outfit. You'll need to think outside the box to keep the two tots alive, since danger can be found in the most unexpected places. Don't let the lovely watercolour graphics fool you. This one's not for the kiddies.
Absence is creepy, but not scary. Nothing is going to jump out at you, there's nothing in the rooms apart from lots of trash. Fire it up while taking a few minutes away from other tasks, and just enjoy the spooky atmosphere without worrying you'll have a heart attack. After all, Halloween is just around the coroner.
Injected with adrenaline, heavy metal, and buckets of (tiny, pixelated) gore, Juggerdome is a gritty top down arena shooter from Con Artist, creator of Crush the Castle. You are the lucky prisoner chosen to pilot the Juggernaut, a killing machine outfitted with upgradeable weaponry. During each round in the arena you must not only survive onslaughts of machines and armed prisoners, you have to entertain the crowd, too.
Squishy, squelchy, and over-the-top, Trap Master is a fast and furious hybrid of defense and side-scrolling chew-em-up action, as you play a monstrous beast defending its lair from all invaders.

Solve puzzles, find and combine items, and encounter loads of creative characters in your quest. Machinarium is one of those rare games you can't praise enough.
Nitrome's latest release, Graveyard Shift, is a first person rail shooter reminiscent of classic arcade games like Time Crisis. You know, those stand-up cabinets with attached guns where you had to shoot off the screen to reload. Instead of plastic pistols, you're armed with your mouse, and instead of taking out bad guys, you're disposing of zombies, killer bugs, poisonous plants, and other Halloween-approved foes.

Head to the site and solve one or two puzzles, or settle in for a marathon and solve until your eyes bleed, it is up to you. But definitely play Picma and enjoy the experience!
At first glance, Spectro Destroyer could be one of any number of platform shooters. Run and gun through the levels, taking out alien scum and robotic sentries trying to halt your progress. Then you realize there's more to this than shooting everything in sight. It's more like line-of-sight. In fact, Spectro Destroyer is just the opposite of the "shoot first, ask questions later" side-scrollers like Metal Slug and Abuse. Instead, it's an amalgam of a platform shooter and a physics puzzle. And that, my friends, is a lot of fun.

The first, Emergency Exit Sign, tells the story of a Japanese all-night worker who just about lives at his office, which becomes a problem when a monster traps him inside. The second, Game In Game In Game, shows us a rather obsessed escape fanatic who plays a room escape game every day before bed, only to wake up one morning trapped in one.

Essendon forward Jake Carlisle given all-clear after scans on sore leg
- From: Herald Sun
- August 04, 2014
ESSENDON'S forward line won't be completely savaged against Richmond on Friday night as Jake Carlisle set to play despite a sore leg.
Carlisle was sent for scans at Olympic Park after complaining of soreness but is not expected to join fellow tall forwards Joe Daniher (collarbone) and Paddy Ambrose (jaw) on the sidelines.
It was hoped the Brownlow medallist would line up against West Coast on Saturday week. That remains Watson's aim, but medicos are pushing for a cautious approach.
Ambrose will miss a fortnight. The Bombers expect to regain him, Watson, Michael Hibberd (hamstring) and Daniher in the next three weeks.
A win against Richmond would kill off the Tigers' faint finals hopes and all but secure a place for the Bombers, who do not face a top-eight side in the run home.
Essendon rated Friday's loss to Sydney as a step forward as it outscored the Swans after quarter time and restricted them to two goals a term in that period.
Jake Melksham and Leroy Jetta kicked two goals apiece in the VFL on Saturday, while Tayte Pears impressed in a surprise venture forward but finished with just one major.

President Haarsma reflects on our big interview with Bill Nye, and explains how it relates to our mission.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
God invites us to understand his power and nature through studying what has been made.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
We are searching for a qualified candidate to serve as Content Editor, beginning August 1.
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.
"I believe that we must now ask for more than simple avoidance of cognitive dissonance. I believe we should seek for cognitive consonance."
Carl's dramatic lines that opened his Cosmos were repeated in Cosmos II: "The universe is all there is, or was, or ever will be." When I told Haines Stiles that many people took that as a statement of atheism, he responded with surprise. "Really?" he said. "We just put that in because it sounded poetic!"
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.

Here's a thought-provoking interview from PMc Magazine, in which editor Tyler Malone interviews Chad Post on Open Letter Books, the world of American publishing, and the importance of international literature. Chad debriefs us on Open Letter's history and concept, and unfolds his philosophy on the mission of a small press in the U.S.: "I'm truly dedicated to the idea that a nonprofit should do all it to better the part of the world that it's related to," he says. "And for us that means helping spread a love and appreciation of international writing and the art of translation." Even though it may seem like a "losing battle" to many, Open Letter is committed to publishing high-impact books from other cultures, and refuses to cater to the lowest common denominator or to sacrifice art for profit.
It's scary, and financially daunting, to take on such an enterprise; why does Open Letter do it? – So that the American book market doesn't degenerate into a boring swamp of cultural incest, and so that American readers have access to inventive, meaningful new books that open our minds. "The more artistic voices available to readers and writers, the better," Chad says. "A healthy translation culture helps to ensure that the literary world in the U.S. keeps renewing itself and evolving and expanding." If we fail to expose ourselves to voices of other cultures, the American readership winds up with "books that are "entertainments" that appeal to the largest possible audience." To keep our culture vibrant, energized, and informed, we need to carve out a place for international writers. On the joy of publishing these new voices, Chad shares lively personal enthusiasm: ". . . there's probably no better feeling in publishing than when a book you've been obsessed with for a few years comes back from the printer and you can hold it, reread it, and finally share it with all your friends." That's what Open Letter is here for – to scout out great works from around the globe and share them with American readers, who deserve variety, inspiration, and a truly good read.

Superfun double golden lucky prosperous blog
I sat on a panel with some of the good folks involved with China Access 2008 today.
China Access 2008 is a strategic international business marketing and partnering initiative that has been consciously structured to help China better realise the unique economic development potential arising from Beijing's hosting and staging of the 2008 Olympic Games.
Today's group seemed to have a lot of Australians and Canadians among the bunch. Most if not all were from some creative industry such as web development or animation. Many raised very good questions on joint ventures, IP, working with local partners, skills of local hires and most important, how to retain and keep key people in the organization.
Although I could not answer the more higher level questions on legal and regulatory structures, I was able to address the issues of leading local teams and the need to train mentor new hires right out of university. I also stressed that all partnerships and alliances in China were really for mutual benefit and convenience. When the time came when you no longer need your partner or you suspect that they are working to cut you out or siphon your assets off, the business decision is clearly to end it and move on. I suggested planning for this scenario from the start and to be actively seeking new partners and opportunities as well during the tenure of the current partnership and not just at the end. After all, your local partners are doing the same and are trying to learn your business and client list almost as fast as you are trying to learn the China environment.
Here are some of the participants from the talks as blogged by one of the participants.

I did some searching for this, but using words like "temperature" & "fermentation", etc. brings up just about every thread in this forum Anyway, we don't have a fermentation chamber yet (scouring for one now) and my basement is warmer than I ever remember with this brutal summer. Right now it's 69 down there, and the ale pale temp is showing 72 and so is the tub water the fermenter is sitting in. For our next brew I plan on using frozen water bottles and a fan to go along with the tub water and t-shirt already in use. My question is how long do I really have to worry about keeping the temps in the 60's? We normally do 3 week primaries and then bottle. Is it OK to to just keep changing out the frozen bottles for the first 3-5 days while the vigorous fermentation is happening and then not worry about it as much? I'm not talking about 80 degree temps or anything, my basement should never get above 70. I was thinking about ice bottles in water for the first 4-5 days, then just water and fan until the 2 week mark, then maybe letting it sit on the concrete floor for the last week. Sound good? I can do the frozen bottle switch longer if I have to, I was just hoping to not have to keep it up for 3 weeks straight. thanks for your help
If you are only talking about the low 70's then I wouldn't worry about the temp creep up after the bulk of the fermentation is done as the undesirable flavors are generally produced in the initial few days. So yes, keep it at your desired temp until active fermentation drops off in 3-5 days like you suggest and you will be GTG.
the off flavors you are trying to avoid by keeping the brew cool are of course generated during fermentation. the more vigorous the fermentation the more these flavors are produced. so your right you need to be most concerned during the initial vigorous fermentation. once you no longer see any signs of fermentation you can stop trying to keep it cool. you want to try to keep the temps as stable as posable but don't kill yourself trying to decide if you have added enough or to much ice.
As well, if you get too worried and you drop the temp to much you might crash the yeast...I would rather have a beer turn out a little too estery than have a beer turn out cloyingly sweet. In the mean time, now is the time to start thinking about making a fermentation chamber as you realize how much ice bath methods can suck.
Thanks fellas - my brew buddies and I are keeping a lookout for a good deal on a used fridge or chest freezer to hook up to a temp controller. Until then, it's nice to know I really only have to concentrate on the first several days. Thx again

Published on February 17, 2014
Dean Health Plan's President and CEO Lon Sprecher announced today he will be retiring May 1, after eight years leading the organization.
Sprecher joined Dean in 2006 following a career which included varied roles such as City of Madison budget director, Wisconsin State Budget Director, and C-suite insurance careers with CUNA Mutual Group, Wisconsin Physicians Service, MGIC, and Central Life/Humana.
During Sprecher's eight years as President and then President and CEO of Dean Health Plan, the organization has experienced much growth and change, most recently in its merger with SSM Health Care in 2013. Other successes during Lon's tenure include:
"I have greatly enjoyed working with Lon and would like to personally thank him for his dedication and leadership," said Gaurov Dayal, MD, President – Health Care Delivery, Finance & Integration with SSM Health Care. "Lon has worked tirelessly to help us achieve our shared vision of a fully integrated health care delivery system that provides high-value care and exceptional clinical outcomes for our patients. His contributions are immeasurable and he will be missed by all who have had the pleasure of working with him."
In addition to Sprecher's work at Dean Health Plan, he has also been active in civic and professional organizations throughout his 39 year career. Over those years, he has served as: adjunct UW-Madison professor, Governor's Business Council chair, tax and budget advisor to five past Wisconsin governors, Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce Board member, executive committee member and Board Chair spanning 22 years, Overture Center Board member, Transitional Housing board member, Wisconsin Health Information Organization board member, Wisconsin Association of Health Plans board member, National Association of Community Health Plans board member, National Association of State Budget Directors board member, speaker at numerous national health industry and government conferences, and an advisory board member for IBM and Hewlett Packard in their health industry business segments.
Looking ahead for SSM and Dean, Sprecher says the future is bright, "SSM has the potential to become a national leader in value based care delivery. I am excited that Dean Health Plan will play a pivotal role in the transformation of SSM and am confident that we are on the path to becoming one of the leading integrated delivery systems in the country".
As for Sprecher, his future plans include traveling with wife Sue, health industry consulting, woodworking and assisting wherever possible in making the Madison area and Wisconsin a better place to live and work.
"I love Wisconsin - other than February and March - and will be looking for opportunities to work with governments and the University to improve our economy and environment," he says.
A national search for Sprecher's successor will begin immediately.

This chandelier is wonderful addition to create an exquisite dining room! The only issue that I had is the attachment rings are very thin and are easily bent, distorting the circular shape which effects hanging.

Looking to cruise
Hi, I'm looking to set sail for a couple of years of cruising and currently I have no one to sail with. I am a single woman and I wonder if I should buy a Nonsuch sailboat first ( I have some sailing experience) and try to sail it myself or should I search for someone who already has a boat ? Sue
A lot depends on what you mean by "cruising". Add to that your comfort level with your sailing skills, your ability to fix things on the boat, how the boat is set up, the amount of space you feel is necessary, and where you plan to do your cruising, for starters.
There's no reason you can't go by yourself, as long as that is what suits you. There are many different boats that would work well for a singlehander, if set up properly. But, to answer whether single or with someone, is more a question of what you are looking for in your cruising, and why you want to do it. There really isn't any answer for that except what you give yourself. Regards |
Sue, There is a book called "Maiden Voyage" by Tania Aebi. She did a circumnavigation alone when she was 18 (back in the '80s). Very enlightening book which may give you some insight into what's entailed. I believe she has her own sailing school now geared toward women (see article "Sailing School Selection" by Beth Leonard on this site).
David |
Another information source would be Reese Palley's book 'There Be No Dragons'. A copy can be had on half dot com or amazon for two or three dollars. He grabbed a boat at age 55 or so and went crusing - his style (cruising) is not for everybody - but if it fits . . . Just don't loose your dream. Regards, Stan G. |
Not a mechanic!
Thanks for the heads up on fixing a boat. I know I don't have those skills. My interest is in an ocean crossing, most particularly to New Zealand. I will read about women who have singlehanded but I think I will need to find a partner. I would be lonely on my own and since I like to cook I wouldn't have anyone to share my cuisine with. I might try living on a boat first and take weekend excursions to get the feel. This is all new to me, but I'm excited and thanks for your interest in replying. Sue
When I first had an interest in learning to sail (I now have my own sailboat), the best advice I received was to get started and do it. My ex didn't think I could do it, now I'm learning with my own boat and a bf who knows next to nothing of sailing, but has every of intention of learning.
Bridget |
Get out on the water in anything you can. Buy a boat that you can handle by yourself if need be. Experience will let you know what you really want in a cruising boat then move, if necessary to something more suited for long term cruising. That's what I'm doing and it seems to be working. Having a lot of fun with a smallish boat and getting my confidence level up to a point where I'll be happy to go larger although I may just bugger off in what I've got.

How did you end up with a nonsuch as your choice for a pacific crossing?
Which model? Are you confusing ease of sailing/tacking with suitability to the task at hand? |

One of the most insidious tactics at a terrorist organization's disposal is the implementation of a sleeper cell. This consists of secret agents who receive specialized training in their home countries and are then assigned to assimilate into another country's culture and society. These agents may spend years performing their regular duties while living deep undercover, then suddenly receive orders from their overseas handlers to either commit an act of terrorism or provide aid to those who will.
Individual members of a sleeper cell may not even be aware of each other, since plausible deniability during police interrogations can be vital. One sleeper agent may work for an airline ticket office, for example, while another may work at a car rental company or a chemical plant. When the commanders of the terrorist organization want to activate a cell, each agent may only receive the name of one contact person or receive only his or her specific orders. The airline ticket agent, for example, may only be told to provide tickets for four men traveling from Germany to New York. The car rental agent may only be told to pick up these men from the airport and deliver them to the chemical plant. This process insures that no individual is aware of the entire plan.
It can be extremely difficult for government agencies to track and dismantle sleeper cells because of their nebulous construction. If the individual members are well-trained and dedicated to their cause, they can easily blend into society without raising any suspicions. A cell doesn't necessarily need to hold regular meetings or undergo additional training to carry out their missions. Members simply go about their daily routines until a handler contacts them for an assignment. Some agents may not even be fully aware of their obligations, believing that a benevolent government agency simply paid for their education and immigration expenses.
The events surrounding September 11 pointed out the dangers of such cells, since a number of US citizens did provide material assistance to the actual terrorists. While some may have simply been performing their regular duties, others were most likely members of sleeper cells activated to perform crucial support operations. A student pilot who only studied take-off procedures, for example, would be an ideal member. An airline baggage handler who could smuggle weapons onto a plane without notice would also be useful.
Some agents may be fully aware of their roles in an operation, while others may be deliberately kept in the dark until called upon to act. This is why an attack can be so notoriously difficult to thwart. A cell is often discovered through covert surveillance and infiltration by a double agent.

These "sleeper cells" obviously have an x amount of people on the bottom level of them. They are all obviously controlled by the higher level which naturally has less members. This level could possibly think it's managing people for a legitimate government agency? Well, with the government now with the authority to listen to our communications, and probably tap into our internet activity they can more than likely disassemble a "sleeper cell" pretty quickly. The best way to do it is probably find all the lowest level people and monitor them to find out who is calling the shots, and work all the way up and disassemble it from the top down. |

there is nothing more important than the development (full, complete, total) of the human being. kept ignorant and uninformed, dependent on technologies is the most dangerous situation and we are in it. |

@ Anon33865- Welcome to the military industrial economy. Technology will always be more lucrative than human ability, because it is built to replace human ability. A specific technology only has to be developed once, and then it can be mass-produced. Teaching someone the skills that the technology replaces would cost much more because each individual must be recruited, trained, developed, and maintained. Developing people is much more labor intensive than shooting a satellite into space that can be programmed by a few individuals. You also never have to question a satellites loyalty. Don't get me wrong, I am a believer in human military intelligence, but the government is sold on all of this technology because it is a cost effective
substitute, and the companies that produce this technology employ millions. Every military project is some senator or representatives pet project. When military spending makes up somewhere around fifty percent of total spending, you have to find reasons to need what these companies produce.

I have no information about how our government is proceeding against radical Islamic terrorism. I have the impression that we have a paucity of Arab speakers and also a paucity of bodies on the ground in foreign countries. I perceive that we rely too much on technology and not enough on humans. We should have a government funded program to recruit people to study the history, the culture and the language of any country that could become an enemy. We waste billions on programs that don't work or even make things worse. We could spend some on hard intelligence. The CIA missed the impending implosion of the USSR. Of course, some in our government are more concerned that some foreigners
civil rights would be impinged than about the security of the U.S. See the Church Committee and the denial of communication between the FBI and the CIA. Then note that the woman who made it worse was put on the committee to see what went wrong. One of the best ways to thwart attacks is to infiltrate the terrorist organization-without people who look like them and speak like them that is very difficult.
