Hey gleek18, you need to have all the information about your trip ready to tell your mom. The address of where you're staying, prices for transportation and food, phone numbers of the place your staying and your bff's and her parent's numbers, and the times you're leaving and coming back. Hopefully she'll be cool with it. Have fun! xoxo

me and my best friend (were practicly sisters we have keys to each others houses and we've been friends since we were two) plan on going on a vacation together. I have family down in Newfoundland and love it there and she always wanted to go there. So we saved up 2000$ in an empty tissue box and we plan to go on christmas break. How do i tell my mom nicely "hey im going on vaction by myself wit my bff. See ya in a week"

The true question is, who doesnt know their girlfirends? I love them all so much! They are all so gorgeous and talented! And even though Ali may not be a girl friend I love her so much! I ship Nali!! Her and Niall have been friends for so long! Eeehhh! They are all so beautiful... Poor little Harry, every week he is rumored to be dating someone else! The newest rumor is that he wants to get back with Caroline Flack... ehhh. I dont like them together. I know age is but a number or whatever but like... it was wrong of them to be seeing each other on the X- factor. I mean the age difference is 15 years!!!

Thank you so much bluejasmine! If you are serious and since you are the one and only person to ask... wait for it... I would not charge you a thing. I would only ask that you buy the material, and give me details of what you like or characters. PM if you are serious. Once again thank you so much.
This morning did not attempt to limp, walk or run on the track. We all slept like logs until I felt the vibration of us backing up. I immediately raced to the verandah and was thrilled to finally be at Castaway Cay.
All I could do was smile and jump up and down on the inside. I knew that I was not going back to sleep, so I just got ready for the day and headed for some breakfast. When I returned from breakfast everyone was still sound asleep even with the curtain wide open. I thought the light would have woke them up, but I guess not. I took upon myself to help them get their day started. Once they were all up and dressed we headed to Cabana's to get them all some grub. After a rushed breakfast we headed back to the room to get what we would need for a couple of hours. There was a bit of a line to get off the ship when we got downstairs. When we had to show our KTTW cards one was missing, so DH gave me the look of death and slowly darted back to deck seven to get DS card. Don't make eye contact with DH was what I kept telling myself( I felt a nuclear meltdown and Hiroshima creeping over me). I took some deep breaths and just remembered that we are at a happy place. After that near miss we got off the ship and picked up some towels from one of the stations before we boarded the tram. It was a quick 5 minute ride to the family beach. Since we were there kind of early, we found a good location in the shade for us to lounge. DD was ready to get in the water so and I went and got 2 floats and a life jacket for her.
We all ventured out into the water and it felt good(not to cold). DH tried to get DD to relax, but this next photo was what he got.
We live 20 minutes from a beachand you would have thought that she has never been in the water before. Well after about an hour she finally relaxed and enjoyed herself. The beach there is pretty rocky and DS was picking up small boulders and throwing them. That didn't last long, because he got yelled at by his loving mother. Wear water shoes is all that I can say on that note. ( I'll pick up again later, my lil people are begging for some breakfast. Don't want them to pass out or anything).
I remember that the area was stoney too. I was happy we had water shoes. Though, I had to empty stones out every so often.
love your TR
That was the only part I did not like about the beach. I thought that it was nice to have the fish swim around your feet at times.
Thanks Dawne98! Glad that you joined in.
I jumped over to your TR, and I see that you are not far from Columbia. I am from Columbia and I can't wait to go for a visit.
Loving your TR! I see you had Andre as your server. We LOVE Andre!! Can't wait to read more.
I last left off with my son throwing the huge rocks that were in the water. I enjoyed seeing the fish swim around you. One woman started freaking out because the fish were swimming around her seat that she dragged into the water. This morning was kind of crazy as far as the swimmers go. One man fell off his inner tube and almost drown. It took the life guards about 30 secs to respond, because I think they didn't know if the man was playing or not. The man's daughter started screaming for help, saying my dad can't swim. Why would you go out that far and you can't swim? These are questions I still ask myself even though I have seen victims of drowning, because I work in an ER. So sad to have to witness vacationers loose their lives. Well moving on from those downers. After those episodes it was time to eat. We were close by Cookies, so once they opened we headed over to get some grub.
Here is my plate and it is the only one I managaed to take a picture of.
I thought that the food was good. The kids didn't want to eat that much, because they wanted to head back to the water. After lunch we lounged on the beach a little bit longer before we noticed some storm clouds approaching
At this point four hours had past, so we headed back so that we would not get caught in the rain. I have said this before, that we live 20 minutes near beautiful beaches that can rival the Carribean beaches. I never thought you can find this kind water in the US. Here are some photos of the beach near our home.
Check out this link and you can see how beautiful our beaches are.
Ok, enough of that! So we waited about 10 minutes to board the tram to get back to the ship. Here are a couple of photos on the way back.
Once we got off the tram we washed off our feet at the stations that they had for that purpose, and returned the borrowed towels. Today I was finally going to ride the Aquaduck and I did with shear happiness. The wait was about 15 minutes and it seemed to move quickly. This was the line before I sat and waited for it to die down.
The kids wanted to play in the pool, so I found some shade nearby and watched DD. DH and DS rode the Aquaduck a couple of times. After about three hours I was ready to go shower and change clothes. So I dragged the kids out of the pool and we all headed to the room to get changed. We had some characters to meet.....
Ya for thre Aqua duck......I can't wait to have another go on it. It was such a nice relaxing day. your kids sound like mine. They just love palying in the water and beach. Unfortunately we don't have any near us.
You are making me so excited to cruise! I love relaxing days like that. Glad you liked the Aquaduck, can't wait to try it.
Your beaches are definitely beautiful
Great TR! Your family is beautiful!!
I can't wait to ride it a couple of more times in July.
Thank you so much for the compliment!
It looks like you had so much fun!! I can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip!!!
Thanks for joining in! Next installment soon.
After we showered, DD and I went to take pictures with as many characters that we could. This was the time in the cruise that if you mixed any characters was your final chance to get a photo op. I must say that we did not get a picture with Captain Mickey and we were disappointed. We also failed to get a picture with Tianna.
Looking at the pictures, we only did a couple characters before DD wanted to go to the kids clubs. DS was long gone back to the Edge. He did not want to take pictures with any of the characters. I dropped her off then headed back to the room to drag DH away from the TV. We decided to go up and get a drink for him and a soda for myself. We sat and enjoyed each others company for awhile.
We could not believe that our first cruise was coming to a close. We watched the horizon and took notice of other ships in the distance. After about an hour or so, I went to guest services to get the tickets for the tips. I was able to walk right up to the counter with no wait. After that I headed back to the room to start to pack. I left out our dinner clothes and disembarkation clothes. After that I headed back to the kids clubs to pick DD. She was happy to leave the club, about an hour or so is all that she could take. We decided to do the Detective Agency at this time. It took us about 30 minutes to complete it. We really enjoyed it and found parts of the ship that we would not have found otherwise.
Great character pictures! I always love pictures of vacation toes. LOL! It just conveys how relaxed a vacation can be!
Boo for the end of the cruise.

The positioner comprises a fixed frame (1) from which extends a first pair of parallel piezoelectric benders ("bimorphs") (2, 3) which carry an intermediate frame (4). Actuation of the bimorphs (2, 3) causes lateral translation of the intermediate frame (4) with respect to the fixed frame with the bimorphs (2, 3) forming the flexible sides of a parallelogram.
Attached to the intermediate frame (4) is a second pair of bimorphs (12, 13) which extend in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the first pair of bimorphs (2, 3) thus permitting a support frame (14) to exercise a deflection in a direction orthogonal with respect to the movement of the intermediate frame (4).
The bimorphs used consist of one or two piezoelectric elements carrying two or more electrodes on either side the proper actuation of which causes the benders to bend with parallel end surfaces at all times.
1. Piezoelectric X-Y-positioner of the parallelogram type having a fixed frame and a support frame movable with respect to said fixed frame and adapted for supporting the device to be positioned, characterized by at least one intermediate frame (4; 36; 49 . . . 52) linked to said fixed frame (1, 29, 44 . . . 46) by at least one pair of first piezoelectric benders (2, 3; 30, 31; 47, 48) in parallel extending in a first direction, said intermediate frame (4; 36; 49 . . . 52) being linked to said support frame (14, 43, 56) by at least one pair of second piezoelectric benders (12, 13; 37, 38; 53, 54) in parallel extending in a second direction orthogonal with respect to said first direction.
2. Positioner according to claim 1, characterized by two pairs of first piezoelectric benders (30, 31; 34, 35) connected respectively to said fixed frame (29) and to said intermediate frame (36) with a first set of intermediate blocks (32, 33) attaching between the free ends of said benders (30, 31; 34, 35), and by two pairs of second piezoelectric benders (37, 38; 41 42) conneced respectively to said intermediate frame (36) and to said support frame (43) with a second set of intermediate blocks (39, 40) attaching between the free ends of said second benders (37, 38; 41, 42).
3. Positioner according to claim 1, characterized in that a first intermediate frame (49 . . . 52) linked to said fixed frame (44 .46) by a pair of first piezoelectric benders (47, 48), that said first intermediate frame (49 . . . 52) carries a pair of second piezoelectric benders (53, 54), and that said support frame (56) is connected to a second intermediate frame (55) which takes the form of a bridge attached to the centers of said pair of second piezoelectric benders (53, 54), the arrangement being such that said pair of first piezoelectric benders (47, 48) when actuated performs a deflection along a first direction, and that said pair of second piezoelectric benders (53, 54) when actuated performs a deflection of said support frame (56) along a second direction orthogonal with respect to said first direction.
4. Positioner according to claim 3, characterized in that said second intermediate frame (55) is a piezoelectric bender which when actuated performs a deflection of said support frame (56) along a third direction orthogonal with respect to said first and second directions.
5. Positioner according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that each piezoelectric bender (2, 3; 12, 13; 30, 31; 34, 35; 37, 38; 41, 42) consists of two piezoelectric elements (8, 9) bonded together such that they have one center electrode (21) in common, that their outer electrodes are transversally split in halves, and that the partial electrodes (17, 18; 19, 20) of each bender are connected to equal but opposite potentials.
6. Positioner according to claim 3, characterized in that each piezoelectric bender (47, 48; 53, 54; 55) consists of a piezoelectric element (65) having four independent electrodes (57 . . . 60; 61 . . . 64) on either side thereof.
This invention relates to scanning and positioning devices permitting to reproducibly displace objects with a resolution in the order of 20 nm. Such devices, here commonly designated as positioners, find application in microscopy and manufacturing, particularly in the manufacturing of integrated circuits.
As the resolution of microscopes is improved (Optical Near-Field Microscope: 0.5/5 nm vertical/lateral resolution; Scanning Tunneling Microscope: 0.03/0.3 nm), there is an increasing requirement for positioning equipment permitting mutual displacements between microscope and probe in the nanometer range. The same requirement exists in the manufacture of electronic circuits with their thousands of circuit elements on a single chip of a few square millimeters, where consecutive masking, diffusion and etching steps are only possible if precise registration of the chip can be reproducibly achieved.
Traditionally, microscopes have a stage which can be displaced in x- and y-directions by means of a rack or lead-screw arrangement, often with facilities for coarse and fine adjustment. While these arrangements theoretically permit minute displacements of the stage, they are the more difficult to operate the smaller the desired displacements are. This is so because of a certain unavoidable backlash in the mechanism and because of the natural friction of the resting stage, which is only overcome with a sudden and mostly exaggerated movement. In view of the fact that the resolution of the new microscope developments and the requirements in electronic circuit manufacturing have increased over several orders of magnitude, it has become necessary to design new positioning devices which avoid the disadvantages of the prior art.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to propose a positioning device which permits the reproducible displacement of a probe to be inspected, a circuit chip to be registered, or of a part of the microscope, by a distance in the order of one millimeter but with a resolution in the order of ten nanometers.
In accordance with the present invention, this object is met by a planar parallelogram configuration with bending legs. Spatially linear motion devices using parallelogram arrangements with flexible leaf springs are known in the printing art as exemplified by IBM Technical Disclosure Bulletin, Vol. 22, No. 7, December 1979, and EP-A1 No. 0012860, to provide linear displacement for print hammers or for an ink jet print head. In both cases, the parallelogram configuration is electromagnetically driven with amplitudes in the millimeter range.
The present invention relates to a piezoelectric positioner of the parallelogram type having a fixed frame and a support frame movable with respect to said fixed frame and adapted for supporting the object to be displaced. This positioner is characterized by at least one intermediate frame linked to said fixed frame by a first pair of piezoelectric benders in parallel extending in a first direction, said intermediate frame being linked to said support frame by a second pair of piezoelectric benders in parallel extending in a second direction orthogonal with respect to said first direction.
Details of a preferred embodiment of the invention will be described hereafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a positioner in accordance with the invention;
FIGS. 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b show two arrangements of bimorphs in unbent and bent states;
FIGS. 4 and 5 are respectively top plan view and side view of a bimorph with split electrodes;
FIG. 6 shows the shape the bimorph of FIG. 5 will assume when actuated;
FIG. 7 through 10 represent further possible structures of bimorphs which may be used in the positioner of FIG. 1;
FIG. 11 is a schematic representation of a second embodiment of the positioner in accordance with the invention, with increased scan range over the positioner of FIG. 1;
FIG. 12 shows a top plan view and a side elevation of a third embodiment of the positioner in a square arrangement;
FIG. 13 shows the special form of bimorph with the electrodes split thrice, for use in the embodiment of FIG. 12;
FIG. 14 indicates the shape the bimorph of FIG. 13 will assume when actuated;
FIG. 15 through 17 are diagrams showing the positioning accuracy achievable with the positioner of FIG. 1 for three different ranges of applied voltage.
Reference is made to FIG. 1 which shows a planar arrangement of two parallelogram translation devices. A fixed frame 1 carries a first pair of parallel piezoelectric benders 2 and 3 which are rigidly connected to frame 1 with one end, carrying between their other ends an intermediate frame 4. Obviously, as the piezoelectric benders 2 and 3 bend unison, intermediate frame 4 performs a translatory movement in the direction of arrow 5.
Piezoelectric benders of the type preferred for application in the positioner of the present invention are commonly known in the art as "bimorphs" and are commercially available. A bimorph consists either of a piezoelectric element 6 bonded to a non-piezoelectric flexible substrate 7 (FIG. 2a) or of two piezoelectric elements 8 and 9 (FIG. 3a) bonded together in such a way that the application of a potential to both of them causes one element to expand and the other to contract, thus producing twice the bending effect that is produced by the first-mentioned arrangement (FIG. 2b versus FIG. 3b).
Returning to FIG. 1, bimorphs 2 and 3 are arranged to bend to the same direction as a common potential is applied, and intermediate frame 4 translates. Frame 4 has an L-shaped configuration extending a leg 10 away from its leg 11 with which it attaches to bimorphs 2 and 3. Rigidly connected to leg 10 is a second pair of bimorphs 12 and 13 extending in a direction orthogonal to the direction of bimorphs 2 and 3. Bimorphs 12 and 13 between their free ends carry a support frame 14 to which a probe or microscope part (not shown) may be attached.
Assuming that frame 1 is held in a fixed position, the simultaneous application of a potential to bimorphs 2 and 3 will cause intermediate frame 4 to be displaced to or through along arrow 5 depending on the polarity of the applied potential. Obviously, with alternating current applied, frame 4 would oscillate within the frequency and amplitude limits dictated by the characteristics of the bimorphs employed and the masses involved. Be the translatory movement executed by frame 4 assigned to the x-direction. This movement is without ado imparted to bimorphs 12 and 13 and thence to support frame 14. Since bimorphs 12 and 13 remained without a potential so far, there will be no movement of frame 14 in the direction of arrow 15.
Conversely, with a potential applied to bimorphs 12 and 13 (and bimorphs 2 and 3 remaining idle) support frame 14 will execute a displacement along arrow 15 with respect to frame 1. This displacement may be assigned to the y-direction.
It will be clear that as potentials are applied to the first and second pairs of bimorphs, support frame 14, and with it the object carried, can be freely positioned along the x and y coordinates within an area defined by the bending characteristics of the bimorphs (and by the space provided between the parts involved).
Those skilled in the art will have observed that owing to the rigidity with which the pairs of bimorphs 2, 3; 12, 13 are attached to frames 1, 4 and 14, and because of the bending characteristics of the bimorphs no exact linear displacement of support frame 14 is possible. The preferred embodiment in accordance with the invention, therefore, uses bimorphs of the type shown in FIG. 3, i.e. with two piezoelectric elements bonded together, but with their outer electrodes transversally segregated. FIG. 4 is a top plan view of a bimorph 16 with two outer electrodes 17 and 18 which are entirely separated. FIG. 5 shows the proposed connection of outer electrodes 17 through 20 and center electrode 21 to a voltage source. FIG. 6 gives an impression of the shape bimorph 16 will assume with the potential applied in accordance with FIG. 5. Of course, when the polarities at the outer electrodes 17 through 20 are reversed, bimorph 16 will bend to the opposite side. It will be noticed that the end surfaces 22a and 22b of bimorph 16 always remain parallel. If this type of bimorph is used in the configuration of FIG. 1, the displacement of support frame 4 will be exactly linear in x- and y-directions.
Other possibilities to obtain at least approximately linear displacements of support frame 14 are shown in FIGS. 7 through 10. Bimorph 16 of FIG. 7 consists of a combination of piezoelectric elements which have upwards polarization in one half and downward polarization in the other half thereof.
FIG. 8 shows a series configuration of two bimorphs 23 and 24, FIG. 9 is a combination of one bimorph 25 with an elastic metal stripe 26, and FIG. 10 is a combination of a bimorph 27 with an elastic rubber block 28. It will be easy for a skilled person to properly connect the voltage source to the bimorph configurations of FIGS. 7 through 10.
FIG. 11 is an embodiment of the invention with increased scanning range. Mounted in a fixed frame 29 is a first pair of bimorphs 30 and 31 which are respectively connected to blocks 32 and 33 to which, in turn, a second pair of bimorphs 34 and 35 are fastened. The latter attach to an intermediary frame 36 which has an L-shaped configuration similar to frame 4 on FIG. 1. Frame 36 carries a third pair of bimorphs 37 and 38 which are fixed, respectively, to blocks 39 and 40 from which extends a fourth pair of bimorphs 41 and 42 which carry a support frame 43. With a voltage source appropriately connected to the various bimorphs a scanning range of twice the magnitude as with the configuration of FIG. 1 can be achieved.
Still another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 12. A rigid frame 44 supports studs 45 and 46 to which bimorphs 47 and 48 are respectively attached with their centers. The free ends of bimorphs 47 and 48 carry connectors 49 through 52 to which bimorphs 53 and 54 are connected. A bridge 55 attaches with its ends to the centers of bimorphs 53 and 54, respectively. It carries a support 56.
In this embodiment, bimorphs 47, 48 and 53, 54 each consist of a piezoelectric element 65 which carries four independent electrodes (57 . . . 60; 61 . . . 64) on either side as shown in FIG. 13. With potentials applied as indicated, the bimorphs will bend to assume the shape depicted in FIG. 14.
It will be clear to those skilled in the art that bimorphs 47 and 48 as well as bimorphs 53 and 54 should be arranged so as to bend to the same side when a voltage is applied. The displacement of payload 56 generated by bimorphs 53 and 54 may be assigned to the x-direction, while the displacement caused by the bending of bimorphs 47 and 48 may be assigned to the z-direction.
If in addition a displacement in 2-direction is desired, bridge 55 is replaced by another bimorph on the support 56 of which the payload is placed.
The embodiment of FIG. 12 is particularly rigid allowing for fast acceleration and deceleration. The scanning range is, however, somewhat reduced as compared to the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 11.
Measurements executed with an X-Y-Positioner built in accordance with this invention with commercially available bimorphs have yielded a conversion factor of between 0.4 and 1 μm/V depending on the clamping length. Thus, with �50 V an area of 0.1�0.04 mm2 can be accessed.
With a sensor attached to support 14 of the embodiment of FIG. 1, its position accuracy was tested. FIG. 15 shows the test result for a scan performed with a maximum of 100 V applied voltage yielding a reproducible deflection of up to 63 μm. FIG. 16 shows the respective characteristic for scans with up to 10 V, and FIG. 17 that for scans with less than 1 V. The hysteresis observed is typical for piezoceramic material and can be easily accounted for, e.g. by appropriately programming the processor of the scan control circuitry. It was found that the positioner can be repositioned to a previously assumed location with an accuracy of about 20 nm. This accuracy corresponds to the resolution of the position sensor as can best be seen in the diagram of FIG. 17 for the 1 V scan.

shower games
I need help with non-cheesy ideas for a brial shower game, it's been so long since i've given a brial shower! Does anyone have any?
A fun one is to put together a list of the grooms favorites, or questions. Have him answer the questions in advance, then at the shower, ask the bride to answer the questions. It's always fun seeing if they answered the same. Some example questions would be stuff like his favorite color, favorite place to be, if he could go anywhere in the world where would it be, if he could meet anyone who would it be, which tv celebrity does he think is hot, stuff like that.....
To go a long w/ that game that Steph suggested - have the guests guess how many of the questions she will answer correctly before starting. Whoever comes closest wins a prize. We did a variation of this game at my bridal shower, but my MOH had me put a gumball in my mouth for every question I answered incorrectly. It was very funny for the guests - although a little gross for me (I don't eat much sugar). It was all in good fun and not too cheesy and silly.
we once did a Jeopardy knock-off. We picked categories (about the bride, about the groom, about their home, about the wedding itself, etc.), and gave them cute names.
Then we made up answer for the guests to guess the questions. We phrased them so that even if you didn't KNOW the question, the answer had clues you could follow. Here's an example: "recently reunited with its sister nation, this European country is the birthplace of the groom." The question: "what is Germany?"
It helped people get to know the bride and groom, even if they didn't answer. We divided the room in two, and anyone could stand up to answer.
We made the game board out of a big piece of posterboard from Staples, and used 4x6 cards for the $ values, and category headers, etc. They fit perfectly, w/ just the right amount of space around them.
To continue with the question/answer game, here are some questions to ask the 'groom', that the 'bride' is then asked:
What three words would describe what you thought of (bride's name) when you first met her?

This is a list I've compiled for my DD's shower...I imagine that her Bridesmaids will have "OTHERS" to add...hope it helps! ;-D
My daughter's bridal shower was just a couple of weeks ago. One game that most people enjoyed was we made up packets of envelopes - fitting one inside the other - had 8 total envelopes per packet (smallest to largest, obviously!). Each table (and we had 10 tables with about 8 people per table) was given a packet. The envelopes had instructions for the guests - i.e.: pass this packet to the person with the biggest earrings - next envelope might say: pass this on to the person who drove the farthest - and so on down to the last envelope which contained a note stating that this person won the centerpiece. We varied the questions for each packet so that each table did not have the same questions.
My BMs played a game with the garter---filp it and who ever got the longest distance won the garter---cheesey but it was fun. We also each got a clothes pin and if you saw someone crossing their legs--at the knees or ankels--you get to take the pin. The one with the most pins at the end of a certain time won a prize---a sack full of a thousand grand candy bars and the bag said you just won a thousand grand. My 5yr old cousin won and she was in heaven!!! She was the only young girl we had there so she thought she was top dog when she beat all of the adults.
I just got back from my "shower weekend" (Had 2 showers in 2 days in 2 different cities!) At the first shower we didn't play any games, but the "theme" was "Big Hat Party" so we all had fun wearing big hats and party dresses. At the second party the theme was "Bridal Luau/Margaritaville" and we had a prize table of various gifts fitting the theme (mainly from the $$ store). We played a version of "Bridal BINGO" that my mom came up with:
I made a list of 25 questions that had short (1-2 word) and unique answers about bride/groom/couple/shower theme/TX/CA (we live in CA but are from TX, where the showers were...). Throughout the party the guests answered the questions and wrote the answers on their blank BINGO cards (sheets of paper with a 5x5 square table on them, no BINGO at the top...) in random places - creating their own random BINGO cards. Toward the end, after the gifts, we went through the questions and made sure everybody had the right answers - that was the fun part because we got to tell the stories behind the questions - and then we "called" out the answers in a random order and as people BINGOed they got to pick a prize. We continued until everyone had gotten at least 2 prizes. It was pretty fun, not too cheesy, and was a good time filler.
My mom also had a small "Signature Mat" (like the ones used at wedding as guest books) that she had each guest write advise for me on. It turned out really neat and I love it! :)
I went to a shower once where the MOH had gotten a bunch of shower gels and bubble baths and put them in gift bags as prizes. She brought a kitchen timer and set it at 5 or 10 minute intervals. When the timer went off, whoever's gift the bride was opening at that time won a prize. It was a neat little thing that no one had to think about...

@Takerkaneanite6 - apparently it was a bit of a slideshow, I only started it after the big patch. On XBOX 1 the patch caused a complete 40gb reinstall of the entire game. It's an alright game - just more of the same really.

@Takerkaneanite6 - Unity plays ok now after a massive 6GB patch on PS4. I waited until it was £25 and then took the plunge. Still prefer Captain Toad though.
How much content is different from the mobile release?
You have to rebuy it on PS3/Vita to get the DX version!
Would have got Rayman but I'm going for Vita version, a little bit sick of the same old virtual console titles turning up!
It's coming to Vita and PS3 with cross buy, cross play and trophies!!!, Nintendo need to try harder I've nothing to play on my wiiu!!!!
Darksiders 2 was my 2012 game of the year. Would love to see where it went next.
Christ, I bought the first issue of super play. Loved the humour in Nintendo gamer. I guess with gaming websites and Internet available on pretty much any device the need for magazines is disappearing....shame.
I could never go back to that small screen, ive replayed some older games on it and I'm amazed at how much detail I've missed. Plus hand cramps are now a thing of the passed. The XL is how it should always have been!!
Like it, 3 seems a bit harsh
Remember enjoying castlevania back in the day, castlevania N64 was surely the worst ever?
Also playing this now, is Luke the most annoying lead character in the history of gaming or what?
I have the PS3 version as well as this and they compliment each other nicely, the graphics in this are great and I can honestly live without the cutscenes, on another note I have Rayman origins for PS3 but what happened to the 3DS version?
Nintendo need to make use of DLC ( I'm sick of saying this), retro levels reimagined, new worlds, support the game after launch. I would happily pay for more worlds.
Hope mario kart 7 will make use of DLC, new tracks, retro tracks, new characters, challenges. Nintendo have the opportunity to make this the Mario Kart everyone's been waiting for!!!
I've got Arkham city, uncharted 3 is on the way yet this is the game I'm looking forward to the most!!, don't let me down mazza!!
Never played it in any form so cannot wait, November is a sweet month for games across all formats!!
Pyramids is great, £3.60 for a 3D game with plenty of replay value, I'll take this over any uncontollable iPhone game any day of the week (of which I have many) good stuff !!!
Is it just me or do some of these virtual console games control a little sluggishly, i felt it on nes super mario bros and now on this?
Easiest mario game ever!!!, but still great!!
I'm not saying the 3DS is as powerful as a PS3 but Resident evil 5 shipped with no online multiplayer and later got one via DLC, using the existing maps, where there is a will there is a way!! An SD card can hold a lot of data!!!
An update?, DLC, I assume the 3DS can do these things?
Not to sound ungrateful but is there a regular e-shop update today?
Super mario Bros, as good as ever!!!
Great stuff, somehow missed this first time around!!
Super probotector, awesome game!!!
@2, are you saying you can change the region of the eshop, if so how do you do it, id love to download cave story but its not in the UK store!!

Rhodie leaves becoming 'olive-green'
I did a search of this forum looking for information on leaf color. Found a lot of interesting reading, too, and posted on a older thread, but it seems to be sinking to the bottom of the page. I'll try again.
2 Rhodies (Pink, 8-9 yrs. old, and Nova Zembla, 6 yrs.) Both in partial shade, woodland/peaty soil, receive adequate water ( I think!) and aren't planted too deeply. Both underplanted with groundcovers (Epimedium, Sweet Woodruff, Vinca minor. I don't cultivate the area under them. Compaion perennials inclued Astilbes, Aruncus, and a lovely stand of native Osmunda claytoniana ferns. Hostas thrive, as do native spring ephemeral bulbs.
I'm confused about the color of the leaves, they don't have that luscious, deep green their cousins at nurseries, do. Is this a nitrogen thing? if it is and they need a shot when should I apply it?
Both plants are budded up and will flower for me (they flower every year reliably in mid/late June), they have put on nice growth and aside from the "olive" leaf color they appear quite healthy. I don't fertilize them, but there is a chance the helpmeet gave them a dose of Hollytone last year...
Can you give me some ideas or some other things to search on this forum?
Olive is good. It usually mean an older leaf. They are bright green when young, then darken as they get older. One way to get a quick improvement in leaf color is with Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salts). It will usually add a nice green glow to plants and is a good tonic to use once in a while. Good fertilizers like HollyTone contain .5% Magnesium Sulfate.
Yellow or mottled is bad. Yellow usually mean some nutritional challenge and mottled usually indicates a fungus or insect problem.
If you aren't getting any new leaves, it may be time to do a little fertilizing, mulching, and making sure they don't have too much shade.
Here is a link that might be useful: How to care for rhododendrons
Hey, thanks! I know enough about plants to know they're doing pretty well, but I didn't understand the distinct "olive" color and after seeing nursery plants began to doubt my own powers of observation.
So... what is it about "fresh" nursery stock that gives them the deep, rich green I always picture when I think of Rhodos.? do the growers give them regular Epsom Salt drenches to make them more appealing to people (like me) who have preconceived notions of "health" and vigor? What do you consider to be the "range" of healthy leaf color in Rhodos. and does the variety tend to dictate the range (I'm guessing it does)?
Should I try the Epson salt thing now or wait until after flowering? and is this a yearly "tonic" or should it be used sparingly? OR, do I need to go back and REread what you linked in your reply? ;)
The leaves in the garden center are new. They will also get that olive green look next year. Your olive green leaves are older. Your plants should be putting out some new green leaves also. If you aren't getting any new leaves, it may be time to do a little fertilizing, mulching, and making sure they don't have too much shade. Typically rhododendron leaves last about 2 years. They start out nice and green and end up more of an olive shade. Garden center plants are sometimes less than 2 years old.
I "took the long way home" today. It is a lovely seaside ramble past many, handsome homes with magnificent rhodies, many in full bloom.
I noted, with interest, the "olive" green leaves on some. I've noted that Nova Zembla doesn't seem to have any new leaves "happenin'"... I'll sit tight and then give her a shot of fertilizer after the flowers.
Thanks so much for patient advice. :)

Art Students League, Tree of Life
June 12, 2014 to June 1, 2015
Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
The Art Students League of New York, one of America's premier art schools, presents the Model to Monument Program (M2M), a collaboration with NYC Parks that has culminated in the installation of the monumental sculpture, Tree of Life, at Van Cortlandt Park.
The sculpture was created by an international team of seven selected League students during a nine-month program. In its fourth year, ASL created worked closely with the naturalists from Van Cortlandt Park to identify specific invertibre that are native to the area. The information they discovered was used by the artists to recreate artistic interpretations of the specimens. These interpretations are attached to a 12 foot tree-like structure. Tree of Life will be an educational experience for park visitors. The artists are: Laura Barmack, Janet Fekete-Bolton, Ana Sofìa Martì, Lindsay McCosh, Phyllis Sanfiorenzo, Natsuki Takauji, and Minako Yoshino.
A collaborative installation created by the team is also on concurrently on view in Riverside South Park in Manhattan. This exhibition is presented with the Art Students League.
Adrian Villar Rojas, The Evolution of God
September 21, 2014 to Summer 2015
The High Line, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Argentine artist Adrián Villar Rojas is known for his large-scale, site-specific sculptural installations that transform their environs into a vision of their own potential future. Employing a unique mixture of cement and clay, Villar Rojas imbues his sculptures with a material destined to crumble while on view. His works combine the daunting scale of conventional public sculptures with a precarious fragility, keeping viewers mindful of the ephemerality of even the most imposing monoliths.
For the High Line, the artist presents The Evolution of God, a new, site-specific installation composed of thirteen abstract sculptures which punctuate the wild, self-seeded landscape of the High Line at the Rail Yards, and creates a sculptural progression and a rhythmic sequence of forms, reminiscent of a musical score. This new project extends the artist's own traditional treatment of materials, by integrating organic elements such as seeds, vegetables, and other perishable components inspired by the natural landscape on the High Line as well as non-perishable items such as clothing, sneakers, and rope. Seemingly sturdy, the sculptures will instead turn into living organisms, revealing the passage of time through vegetal sprouts and tectonic cracks, which will slowly return the sculptures to the surrounding landscape.
This exhibition is presented by Friends of the High Line
Tatiana Trouve, Desire Lines
March 3, 2015 to August 30, 2015
Doris C. Freedman Plaza
Central Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
For her first public commission in the United States, Tatiana Trouvé has made a work that responds to Central Park. She came to see the miles of pedestrian paths that traverse its landscape as similar to the arteries of a living being. There's no singular way to walk through the park, but rather a multitude of possible routes that may be followed according to our own desires.
Drawing on existing maps, Trouvé isolated all of the marked pathways in the park and estimated their distances. She identified 212, from secluded paths to prominent thoroughfares, ranging in length from around 60 feet to four miles. Translating her research into three-dimensional form, Trouvé created three large-scale storage racks that house a total of 212 spools. Each spool is wound with rope equivalent in length to a corresponding pathway and labeled to identify its location in the park.
Trouvé's work is also a reflection on the broader cultural significance of walking. It's an activity that ranges from personal recreation to political statement, and has inspired poets, musicians, writers, and artists. Thus, Trouvé has associated each pathway with a title drawn from culture and history that relates to walking. In this way, Desire Lines is both a systematic inventory of the park and an invitation to explore the political and poetic resonance of the simple act of taking a walk.
This exhibition is presented by the Public Art Fund.
Jarrod Beck, Uplift
August 20, 2014 to August 19, 2015
Sara D. Roosevelt Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Uplift sits on a tree–lined terrace in Sara D. Roosevelt Park. Made from recycled rubber conveyor belts once used to cart ore out of West Virginia mines, the work suggests stratified rock or a grouping of recently unearthed tectonic plates. Uplift is both memorial and artifact, reminding us of loss, but also rooted in a deep time beyond our memories.
Rudy Shepherd, Black Rock Negative Energy Absorber
May 22, 2014 to May 15, 2015
First Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Black Rock Negative Energy Absorber is from a series of sculptures Rudy Shepherd has been working on since 2006, the first having been installed in Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City, NY. Shepherd describes the Black Rock Negative Energy Absorbers as a group of sculptures with magical functions: to expunge negative energy from viewers – in the form of prejudice, racism, or even quotidian disdain – and allow them to respond to life with the more open, compassionate, and positive aspects of their personalities. The series reinterprets practices culled from new age mythology and ancient religions to heal the negative energies in society.
The exhibition is brought to you by First Street Green.
Art Students League, Model to Monument (M2M)
June 12, 2014 to May 15, 2015
Riverside Park South, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
The Art Students League of New York, one of America's premier art schools, presents the Model to Monument Program (M2M), a collaboration with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation that has culminated in the installation of seven sculptures on view along Riverside Park South from 59th to 69th Streets.
The sculptures were created by an international team of selected League students during a nine-month program. The pieces for this exhibition explore "The Architecture of Nature." The artists are: Laura Barmack, Janet Fekete-Bolton, Ana Sofìa Martì, Lindsay McCosh, Phyllis Sanfiorenzo, Natsuki Takauji, and Minako Yoshino.
This work was made possible by the Art Students League's Model to Monument Program and the Riverside Park Fund.
Jim Rennert, THINK BIG
June 3, 2014 to May 4, 2015
Union Square Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Jim Rennert's THINK BIG stands at over 12-feet tall serving as an inspiration to everyone who works hard every day to achieve their dreams and goals. The monumental businessman gazes up at the sky and the Manhattan skyline, reminding us that if we "think big" we can attain anything and that the American Dream is still very much alive and possible. Businessman or not, everyone can still relate to the themes in their own personal ways. THINK BIG is the culmination of positive thinking, as the original concept started as a two-inch sculpture. Rennert is excited to bring the sculpture to New York so that everyone can indeed, "think big."
The project is made possible by the Cavalier Gallery and Union Square Partnership.
Juan Soriano, Juan Soriano in New York City: Monumental Sculpture at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza
October 28, 2014 to April 26, 2015
Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Three of Juan Soriano's sculptures are now in New York City: Pájaro III (Bird III), Pájaro de Dos Caras (Bird with Two Faces), and Paloma de Bronce (Bronze Dove). Soriano, a deeply committed Mexican artist from an early age, was an independent voice during the years that the murals of Rivera, Siqueiros and Orozco dominated Mexican art. Putting distance between his art and theirs, he created an individual vision in painting, ceramics, stage and costume design, and monumental sculptures.
Placed in Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, on East 47th Street between First and Second Avenues, they bring to New York City Juan Soriano's unique perspective on art and society. Inspired by the popular and indigenous arts of Mexico, he drew on Cubism, German Expressionism, Fauvism and the Paris artists of the interwar period. His individuality is clearly on view in the three sculptures now in New York.
This exhibition is presented by The World Council of Peoples for the United Nations, The Consulate General of Mexico in New York, The Mexican Cultural Institute of New York, and the Fundación Juan Soriano y Marek Keller
Paula Hayes, Gazing Globes
February 19, 2015 to April 19, 2015
Madison Square Park, Manhattan
Gazing Globes features eighteen crystal balls that hold the detritus of contemporary culture, including used batteries, computer parts, and other remnants of technology sprinkled with fairy dust made of pulverized CDs.
The winter months are the perfect time to view Paula Hayes's Gazing Globes exhibition, which is made up of eighteen transparent spheres that hold the detritus of contemporary culture. The globes, says Hayes, will give the park "an arctic feeling, a winter wonderland." Formed into beauteous objects, Hayes' crystal balls positioned on elegant fiberglass pedestals summon the present and predict the future. Each see-through globe lit from within will house used batteries, tossed-out computer parts, castoff electronic transistor parts, vacuum tubes, shredded rubber tires and recycled plastic flotsam. To these mixed remnants of technology and culture the artist adds crystals and minerals. A shimmering fairy dust made from pulverized CDs will coat the bottom and sides of each sculpture's interior. Hayes, who typically works with varieties of plant materials, is determined that everyday castoffs are indicative of a society's behavior and value system and symptomatic of the current landscape.
Gazing globes are a decorative form first used in outdoor gardens in the Middle Ages. These orbs were made of hand-blown glass, and were considered to hold magical power and to foster good luck or ward off evil. Hayes conjures the mystical character of the historic object but makes the form fully contemporary as she creates work with present-day scrutiny and a nod to clairvoyance.
This exhibition is presented by the Madison Square Park Conservancy
Various, Broadway Morey Boogie
September 17, 2014 to April 3, 2015
Broadway Malls, Manhattan
Broadway Morey Boogie borrows its title from Dutch painter Piet Mondrian's 1942-43 masterpiece Broadway Boogie Woogie. The painting, which today is one of the Museum of Modern Art's most popular artworks, once mobilized the avant-garde ideals of abstraction in the service of a brash ode to the dynamism and vitality of New York City street life. This exhibition aims to do the same by populating the backbone of Manhattan—surfing down Broadway from 166th Street to Columbus Circle—with a group exhibition of outdoor sculpture by contemporary American artists. The first of its kind on twelve highly-varied neighborhood sites, this show spans a variety of mediums and methods employed by artists both emerging and established. The works were selected in an attempt to engage audiences at street level with accessible, thought-provoking artworks of modest to monumental scale.
Broadway Morey Boogie is curated by Marlborough Chelsea and produced in collaboration with the Broadway Mall Association and NYC Parks.
Artists included:
Matt Johnson at 166th Street (Mitchel Square); Drew Heitzler at 157th Street; Dan Colen at 137th Street (Montefiore Park); Davina Semo at 117th Street; Paul Drueke at 96th Street; Lars Fisk at 79th Street; Tony Matelli at 73rd Street (Verdi Square); Devin Troy Strother at 72nd Street; Sara Braman at 64th Street (Dante Park); and Joanna Malinowska at 59th Street (Columbus Circle).
Sara Braman's piece at Dante Park (Broadway and 64th Street) has been temporarily removed for Winter's Eve at Lincoln Square and will return on December 5, 2014.
Various Artists, Archeo
April 17, 2014 to March, 2015
The High Line, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
An outdoor group exhibition about technology and obsolescence, Archeo brings together the work of artists who employ outmoded technologies and outdated machinery as a reflection on humanity's continuous fascination and frustration with technology.
Today, many young artists engage with technology by exposing both its fragilities and merits. Their artworks embody an attitude that is simultaneously critical and nostalgic, in which the optimistic idealism of technological progress is countered by a disenchanted skepticism. Some of the works in the exhibition describe a recent past which resembles a dystopian future, featuring a wasteland of discarded machines and castaway objects. Other artists are more enthusiastic about the potential of technology but warn us against its dangerous side effects and its planned obsolescence. Some of the artworks on view disclose a return to the handmade and an attraction to organic forms and materials. These sculptures resemble relics and findings of an archaeology of the future.
Archeo features international artists including: Antoine Catala, Isabelle Cornaro, Jessica Jackson Hutchins, Yngve Holen, Gavin Kenyon, Josh Kline, Marianne Vitale
This exhibition is presented by the Friends of the High Line.
Gimhongsok, Bearlike Construction
May 5, 2014 to March 31, 2015
Tribeca Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Humorous and ironic, Gimhongsok's work challenges the viewer to consider the contradictions and blurred boundaries of fact and fiction, originality and the copy, banality and the spectacular. He often uses everyday materials to engage his audience in a dialogue about preconceived and conventional values found in communities and in art. In Bearlike Construction, the form is immediately recognizable as a teddy bear, but is assembled out of cast bronze garbage bags rather than the conventional soft fur. The piece, which measures over five feet square also wittily echoes the ubiquitous piles of garbage bags found on street corners throughout New York City.
Anthony Heinz May, Txiti Hitkuk
October 5, 2014 to March 31, 2015
First Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Heinz May's site specific installations are created with trees that have been uprooted or removed from public spaces. Txiti Hìtkuk consists of a London Plane tree appropriated from NYC Parks. Heinz May transplanted the trunk in the planting bed alongside existing rose bushes and London Plane trees and pixelated its appearance into a cluster of wooden cubes. The tree trunk, though untouched at its base, starts to fragment into numerous blocks that are held together with a pin system.
Through his sculpture, Heinz May addresses the dialogue between preservation and degradation; real and artificial; and obsoletion and sustainability. Additionally, he draws parallels between our society and its growing use of technology with his transformation of raw materials into a gridded system. He alters the recycled trees into a three-dimensional representations of two-dimensional organization found in digital imagery---noting that they act like "dissolving digitized glitches in the landscape, symbolizing human interaction within nature through a technological lens."
While researching the Lenape and the Wickquasgeck Trail (an early north-south trading route in what is now Manhattan), Heinz May came across an online translator for Unami/Delaware languages. The title, Txiti Hìtkuk (pronunciation 'Touee-tee Heet-kook') roughly translates to "Few Trees," which references the city as it is now in relation to how it was then.
This project is presented in part by First Street Green
Staten Island
DB Lampman, The Dance
September 15, 2014 to September 14, 2015
Tappen Park, Staten Island
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
The Dance consists of five figures floating 15 feet above the ground. The figures, formed with steel and wrapped in nylon, hold hands and dance whimsically within a rectangular steel structure. At night the figures light up and cast a glow around the neighboring trees. The Dance is inspired by Henri Matisse's painting by the same name. Similar interlocked figures can be found throughout art history, including Mayan art, African tribal sculptures, and ancient Mesopotamia, among others, to symbolize family, community, and spiritual or universal connectivity. Lampman uses this symbol for the coming together of the Staten Island community.
Lampman lives and works in Stapleton and has embraced the diverse community made up of residents from around the world. There is a large population from Shri Lanka, as well as immigrants from Liberia, Ghana, the Gold Coast, Mexico, and Central and South America. In the exhibition, the five figures are entwined in a dance—they could be Flamenco dancers from Mexico, Kandyan dancers from Sri Lanka, or a dance from West Africa such as the Yankadi, or the Makru.
Tappen Park and many other Staten Island neighborhoods were flooded during Hurricane Sandy, and sadly lives and homes were lost in the storm. However, Staten Island came together during this crisis—strangers dropped everything and join people from around the island and all over the world to rebuild the community. The neighborhood's joint effort is an integral part of the inspiration for Lampman's public artwork. Additionally, Lampman hopes that the installation will inspire additional community development, as the informal pavilion can be used for public dance and music performances by community members.
