Concept: Astrum Surculus A.K.A '111'
The Astrum Surculus (star shooter) was discovered in the year 2050 & gave birth to Fusion Power.
Each creature lives for approximately 300 years. Through its being, it eats wasteful materials (dead leaves, soiled paper, etc) & burns them within its stomach through a chemical reaction created by its stomach acid & a gland which produces excess amounts of hydrogen. As 111 becomes older, pressure builds, and waste burning is moved into a secondary pressure-tight sack within its throat. Eventually, too much pressure is built, & the creature shoots out the waste with such incredible force, the earth can change its angle tilt, & orbit trajectory. Sadly, this also kills the creature, being the size of your average green-tree frog.
It was later discovered a few years later that the waste produced by this creature was reminiscent of the sun's own fusion reaction. By artificially creating the pressure-tight sack found within the creature, scientists were able to create a safe environment to perform & sustain fusion reaction.
It was also discovered that the outlet of waste from this creature produced over 70% of global warming through the period of 1900 to 2070. The present year is 2150 - 100 years after the creature was discovered. To this day, it has changed the earths tilt by 15 degrees, & the Earths orbit now takes 512 days to revolve around the sun. Temperatures have soared due to the thinner atmosphere, creating an even better environment for the creature to breed.
Scientists nick named this creature 111 because it was the one hundred & eleventh cause of global warming, which is a lot easier & quicker to say than Astrum Surculus or Star Shooter. it was named Astrum Surculus because of the likeness of its waste to the sun, & how it shoots the waste into space at the end of its life cycle.

Oh Snap... Another frog idea *cries*
Well, here's my attempt to use traditional media again...

Concept: "Ambusher 111"
During the World War II, the U.S. developed a powerful secret weapon capable of causing massive destruction. In an effort to end the war, two bombers, loaded with the weapon, flew over Japan and dropped down two crates of these little critters. Ambusher 111, named after their 3-toed front legs, are a special breed of frogs produced by U.S. secret labs. Originally meant for use as close-combat, the frogs proved to be incapable to distinguish between friends and foes. It was quickly determined that Ambusher 111's will only be used far away from friendly forces. Once released from the airdrop crate, the Ambusher 111's (all of which males) seek the scent of females, resembled closely by gunpowder. When threatened by approaching humans, Ambusher 111's many explosive glands will burst apart violently with the force of half a ton of TNT, and in many cases cause chain explosions. The morning after the air drop, the white flags were raised. The U.S. was able to stop the war while keeping their target to military facilities and underground weapon factories.

Concept: .1.1.1 - Hydro-Deflux: Mission
This organism was brought back during deep space exploration, a failed attempt at bringing back and colonizing an extraterrestrial species on earth. In their attempt at introducing a new species the Government and NASA ultimately brought upon the evolutionary decomposition of Earth's life and Atmosphere as we know it.
The organism that was known as .1.1.1 reproduced at a massive rate and began to evolve and adapt much quicker than could have ever been anticipated. It's reproductive cycle was killing off all vegetation and plant forms, including trees. It first appears as a (.1 harmless plant-like organism) but due to the vast differences in our atmosphere it began to rapidly change and take upon a (.1 biped mobile formation). These then turned into large and dangerous extraterrestrial creatures that were reproducing asexually and flinging their (.1 mutative eggs) all throughout earth's forests.
The fungal-like larva form (plant organism) infected earth's own vegetation life and began killing off a large majority of earth's oxygen resources. Once the larvae went through its mutative metamorphosis it poisoned the ground and plants around it, then releasing a toxic gas once hatched. This gas produced and generated a form of fungus that turned the trees into a living edible food source for the Hydro Defulx creatures, but ultimately killed the actual tree and leaves that once produced our oxygen. It continued to spread like wild fire, a virus from tree to tree leaving mankind with the possibility of extinction and the race to terraform the closest known planet in hopes to create a new home for our "now" quickly dying race.

Artist: Ramitxon
Concept: 111. Book eater, the creature that changed mankind's history.
On great libraries across the world and along the centuries, enormous quantities of all kinds of books have been stored. The written record of the history of mankind along time. It begun when the first man put the first words on a stone slab. History only exists since writing exists.
Since the moment sheets of parchment or papyrus were utilized to make books in great numbers, one small creature evolved to feed on them. This bat-like flying nemesis found a new habitat hiding on great libraries, among the bookshelves, feasting on the books and stealing capital episodes of our history simply because there were recorded only on a few pages, easily devoured, changing the course of events just because there was no way else of knowing better. These creatures ate through whole volumes about Atlantis, erasing its real location, its art and customs. About the tomb of Alexander the Great, the templars, the Holy Grail and the Catarus. The coming of extraterrestrial ships to ancient Egypt and the Mayan empire... All episodes forever lost to us.
Perfectly adapted to their unique environment, these book eaters developed a kind of camouflage, black markings on their bodies resembling letters on paper, merging their silouettes against open volumes. Using their wings to fly from one library to another, the world was completely oblivious to their existence.
At the time one of these creatures was discovered, he was happily munching through page 111 of a lone book of memoires of Cristopher Columbus, who was telling future readers about who was the real discoverer of the new world, who told him America was there. Nobody will learn the truth now. The creature was later known only as 111, because there was no other copy of that page.
That small mammal had in fact the power of changing history. Depending entirely on the existence of someone to tell about it, if you destroy the words of the past, you change the future.

Artist: retter
Concept: 1+1+1; the tuyre
The tuyre is a species which was found on earth over one million years ago. The unfortunate structure of the tuyre lead them to be unable to stand for over an average eight seconds, however, the unique body formation above the head of of the tuyre was - in combination with it's constant falling down - its sole reason for survival; the tuyre stood over six feet tall and weighed an astonishing 900lbs, because of this, if the tuyre happened to fall upon an unsuspecting creature it was more than likely to kill it. The tuyre, being carnivourous would then feed upon the corpse of its unfortunate victims.
The curse of the tuyre would eventually lead to one of the greatest moments in the history of humankind, the "invention" of fire. During the time the tuyre were most prevailent, humankind was in a slump of evolution, it had weapons and tribal behaviourism but they had been unchanged for just under one million years. On the night of an incredible storm, a lightning bolt struck a tree which then ingnited near a cave in which a tribe of humanity's ancestors were situated, extremely cold and unable to see due to the darkness. A poor tuyre was caught in the middle of this storm and was obviously unable to do much about it. Flailing around as per usual, the tuyre fell right into the flaming tree and knocked it over. The tree fell right in front of the cave. Feeling the heat of the flames and seeing how they were able to bring light to the front of the cave, a curious ancestor of modern day human walked slowly to the fallen tree and snapped of a branch then hurried back to the congregation and placed it in the centre. The cave lit up and those once cold were now warmed than they should have been. Over the coming years this tribe was able to harness the power of the flame and as time went on the ability to control fire was spread amongst the entire continent.
Although the tuyre are a forgotten species in modern day, they were part of the formula which changed the history of humankind:
One tree + One bolt of lightning + One tuyre = The "invention" of fire.

Concept: Lightbulb Firefly
The Light Bulb Firefly was given its name for its shape and for its remarkable ability to imbue inspiration.
They are attracted to human thought waves; specifically creativity! Whenever there has been a time when someone has been stuggling over something in their minds, they give off energy that attracts these creatures like moths to a flame. Eventually, when they have drawn forth enough creative energy their bulb-shaped rear switches on. A strange side effect occurs when this happens - the person gets a feedback of creative energy from the creature creating a breakthrough. Like a lightbulb over their head - an 'AH HAH!' moment.
These creatures are rare and are usually attracted to sources of larger creative energy. It has been theorized that they have been responsible for giant inventive leaps in mankind's arts and sciences.
The 'Lightbulb Firefly' was not known about until ability to see into the UV spectrum was gained as they are not able to be seen within the visible spectrum (but one day the scientist had an 'AH HAH!' moment). They were spotted momentarily at 111 nm within the ultraviolet spectrum though it was never confirmed.

Concept: The Plague Bug
When the black death struck Europe in the 14th century, the descriptions of the disease described dark oozing pustules forming.
Or so they thought...
A recent scientific investigation has discovered they were the victims of an ancient creature - part beetle, part scorpion, part reptile. These large iridescent black parasites have variously been theorized to have come from the retinue of a traveling oriental mystic, crawled out from the depths of the Black Sea, or possibly arising spontaneously from the ether. The newly discovered entity has been referred to "111" because the victims would die exactly in exactly 193 hours - 1 week, 1 day and 1 hour.
The Plague Bug would find their potential host, rip through clothing and attach themselves to the flesh with the spines in its tail and claws on their legs. In addition, the circular serrated mouth of the Bug would latch on and start feeding on the essence of the human while releasing a powerful narcotic intravenously to the host that would act to deceive the victim into believing that they had a pustule instead of the frightening truth.
Non-host humans would also affected by this narcotic by a spray originating around the mouth that dispersed the venom into the air.
Next time you get a pimple, you have pause to ponder...

Artist: electric goat
Concept: 111
the first people of greece were very mundane and without any creative outlets. this timid beast would reveal it its three eye bearing tentacles (which happens to look like 111 from far away) and strike fear into the early greeks. in one particular village there was a curious boy who approached the beast, offering it a bowl of grain. the hungry beast finally took it and as the beast processed this food, it produced melodic tones through the release of gas. this is also how the beasts communicate with each other over great distances. soon there were many beasts visiting this child and the combination of all these beast created a symphony of sound that the early people of greece had not experienced. their song had awakened something creative in these people. they started building there own instruments and developed a highly creative community.
during these "concerts", the ancient greeks would bob their head with one arm raised, hand holding up three fingers in reverence to the beasts. blue eyes were tattooed on the finger tips(A). this curious child had become king of these people as he grew older. unfortunately, he has lost his middle and index fingers during a hunting expedition(B). because of this, he would hold up his thumb, pointer and pinky to show respect during the gassy concert. upon his death, the people decided that they would honor him by holding up the same fingers(C) during the "concerts" that followed. as time past and the people of this land integrated into other cultures and opened many minds, they had influenced countless cultures to revere musicians in the same way. head bobbing and "devil horns" in the air. rock on!!!!
*the modern hand position has been reduced to two fingers to optimize hand comfort while rocking(D).

Artist: Michael Jaecks
Concept: Petroscat
In March of 2008, oil prices inched towards $111.00 per barrel. Under the weight of that economic pressure, the United States, as the worlds greatest consumer of petroleum products, searched high and low for solutions to this ever worsening energy crisis. The answer came in the most unlikely of places. On a remote and forgotten island off its coast between southern Florida and Cuba, American scientists discovered a new reptillian species with a most unusual dietary habit. The creature, now formally named polymerphagus petroscatus, had taken to eating plastic bottles and refuse that washed up on the shores of its native island from nearby Florida. Even more interesting and eventually useful to American consumers, the creature, informally dubbed the Petroscat, defecates a black, slick, liquid substance almost indistinguishable chemically from regular fossil crude oil... the same crude oil that had reached record prices that same year. The gasoline refined from the Petroscat feces, referred to among industry insiders as Formula 111, actually burns cleaner than regular gasoline providing an immediate boost in the performance of all types of combustable engine driven vehicles. The Petroscat as an animal proved to be particularly hardy for transplant from Florida and easy to breed. As of June 2009, vast farms of oil producing lizards now stand in America's heartland where once corn fields had made their own attempt at solving the world's fuel shortages with the rather unprofitable ethanol industry. Petroscat farmers have to be very careful to feed the animals an exclusive diet of plastic. Mixing even a small amount of vegetation into the creatures diet can have flammable results. Plastic waste is now diverted from landfills and sent by truck to these farms to keep the lizards fed. Although the discovery of the creature and the birth of this new biofuel industry did little to solve the world's climate change problem, at least soccer moms can still drive around the American midwest in their SUVs.

Ended up voting for Michael Jaecks for the clearest form and nice backstory. Well done to Corriero and Ramitxon, also.
March 16th, 2008 #17
Boy, this is the lowest turnout in a while. Just can't seem to get my creative juices flowing these days.
Great job to everyone who finished. Really creative ideas.
Electric Goat, you got it buddy.
It looks like you really put a lot of thought and effort to come up with one truly original idea and great overall design to boot. Love it.
Mike C.: Awesome. I agree with MJ about the two votes thing, but I believe the single vote really makes us look at the finer details, and better appreciate who deserves it more. In this case , was the story that made the difference.
Speaking of Michael Jaecks: Great story. Design seems a little generic, but the idea and description are fun to read Only crit here is the anatomy of the tail and are those eyes peeking out from under that hood? Otherwise, sweet work as usual. Oh, and on a personal note, I can't stand soccer moms.
Ramitxon: I just realized that was nose popping out of his face. Most everything else, especially the book he's eating, his eyes, and wings are top notch. Wonderful and imaginative story as well.

electric goat gets my vote; apart from the creature design (which is fantastic) i find the story behind it so great. not only is it a great idea but i love the fact that such a magnificent and massive creature's only impact was that it allowed people to express their love of rock. something really humbling and humerous about that.

I'm stupid & lame & a moron because i voted for my self before reading fozzybears post lol.
If I didn't do that, i would have voted for ramitxon's piece, the creature is just awesome, & I have a thing for wings. great background, & great concept all together.
March 17th, 2008 #21
Ok, my vote is for Michael Jaecks, I like his creature's expression and his concept. Mike's and Electric goat's are great too.

I went for ramitxon. His entry is both fantastically rendered, and fits the subject of the challenge perfectly.
March 17th, 2008 #23
Ramixton - love the idea and its execution, Image can stand alone to convey the narrative, seems to explain the 111 in the most uncontrived way to me too.
close one between Electric Goat - really nice concept and rendering, I feel maybe your concept could have been comunicated more clearly/visually if the folowers of the beast were seen appreciating the music and showing the hand gesture described? loved the border style and cloud forms
get better or die trying....

I ran out of time... and it looks like I won't be able to do any of these until May.... Work is really picking up... But I have to say that Ramixton's is my Fav in terms of rendering and idea. I had an initial idea to make a creature that would generate graphics off of its scaly back as a way of marking territory... and that would have been the inspiration of generating the printed word.. But I felt it was too close to this one... And the whole stonehedge thing was my plan b.... Oh well... best of luck Ramixton!
Great work all of you as always.
March 17th, 2008 #25
Very good entries...
I LOVE electric goat's story! hahaha
(and work for that matter!)
but its the story in combo with the work that put it at the top for me.

had to go with our little book eating friend. good job ramitxon. only crit would be that your treatment of the creatures forms may be a little soft. hard to tell if it's skin is bare or fuzzy. either way i like it, i vote for fuzzy though. oh, and you sir shall rock on!
mike c's piece is very professional, as usual, but i had some issues with the legs(something off about how it's standing, or maybe im just off) and concept. sorry, had to find something to pick on. other than that, i probably prefer your creature on visual basis. that head freaked me out when i first saw it. that's a good thing, i don't freak easily.
ill try to give out overall crits. ill gladly recieve crits as well. oh, and thanks for the votes!

- Flash Array
- Applications
- Company
- Resources
- Blog
Big Storage has built a business around forcing you to buy a new storage array every three years – whether you need it or not!
What if you could say "NO" to the pain and cost of forced migrations, the lost weekends, the data corruption risk and the planned downtime?
What if there was a better model for storage acquisitions and lifecycles, a model that let you purchase your storage once and maintain it forever? Introducing Forever Flash.
We took the program you love and made it even better.
Simpler, Flatter, Foreverer
The storage industry revolves around a 3-4 year forced refresh cycle. Here's why.
Annual maintenance seems reasonable at first...that is until the sales rep comes along to collect your fourth-year renewal. Despite initial discounts, maintenance typically renews off of list price (once you are tied to the platform), and discounts are suddenly non-existent. The typical solution? "Maybe we can give you a screaming deal on a new array instead of paying this maintenance bill." It's time to end predatory maintenance practices and find a better way to buy and maintain storage.
Your storage array starts out fast and capable, but within a short time, your capacity needs and performance needs grow. Sometimes upgrades are possible – add some cache here, some disk there, maybe a few flash drives – but before long, those band-aids aren't effective. Most storage platforms either aren't upgradable at all, or their limited upgrade options come with too much pain, risk, and expense. So in the end the inevitable forklift upgrade happens – along with the expense and downtime of forced data migration. It's time to end forklift upgrades and find a better way to buy and maintain storage.
...storage that gets faster and more capable with age
...never having to repurchase your existing capacity
...never having to purchase software as you expand
...never having to forklift upgrade & migrate your data
Flat & Fair keeps your maintenance and support pricing predictably flat (or better!) over the long term. You'll never be charged for increased out-year maintenance, and you'll realize a reduction in per-TB maintenance rates over time (compared to the traditional model where per-TB rates rise over time).
Flat: Maintenance & support pricing will never exceed your original contract
Fair: All renewals use then-current prices per SKU, often lower year over year
Simple: All your contracts for add-on shelves or upgrades consolidate to a single contract at any renewal at fair then-current prices
Free Every Three allows you to receive a free controller upgrade every three years you own the FlashArray – forever! Simply purchase a 3-year renewal every three years and you will receive free controllers at year 4, year 7, year 10 and so on. Free Every Three enables you to keep your FlashArray current on every dimension: performance, scale, and features.
Forever Maintenance replaces your hardware and software as-needed with no restrictions on flash age or usage patterns – forever under active maintenance and support! And with CloudAssist monitoring your storage you will receive proactive replacement of problematic parts, even before failure occurs. Forever Maintenance represents the ultimate in peace of mind and is yet another great reason to love your storage.
* Forever Flash requires a customer to be on a Pure branded maintenance and support contract. All terms of the Forever Flash program can be found in Pure Storage's EULA.
Dramatic cost of ownership savings help you reinvest in strategic initiatives that drive your business.
What happens when you add up all the annual CAPEX and OPEX costs over 6 years? You realize that disk doesn't just hurt your workload performance, it also hurts your bottom line. Forever Flash also has a powerful benefit for your CFO – extended depreciation. Your FlashArray has a much longer lifespan than disk – arguably it never ends. This means the depreciation expense on your FlashArray may be spread over 5 years or more, directly improving earnings per share. This is the chart Big Storage does not want you to see and it's no surprise why. If you can get all of the performance, availability and simplicity benefits from Pure Storage AND save tremendously, why would you invest a single dollar more in disk infrastructure?
Incrementally upgradable and always non-disruptive:
We make the storage array where continuous upgrades are the norm.
Learn more
Upgradable Controllers
The FlashArray is based upon stateless, independent controllers with x86 CPUs, meaning that we can ship faster controllers annually which let you upgrade the performance of your existing array – year after year after year.
Expandable Storage

Harrison sophomore Ernie Duncan makes verbal commitment to UE
Also received scholarship offers from SIU and Wright State
Harrison sophomore Ernie Duncan made a verbal commitment to play for the University of Evansville's men's basketball team on Sunday night.
"My family and I really thought about this decision and we know we made the right decision," Duncan said. "It's too good of an opportunity to pass up. I'll be able to play in front of my friends and family and be in this city that I love."
Duncan, a 6-foot-2 guard, is averaging 13.9 points and 6.6 rebounds for the Warriors. He had also been offered scholarships by Southern Illinois and Wright State.
Duncan, who missed four games earlier this season with a back injury, cannot sign a binding national letter of intent until November of his senior year.
He has two younger brothers, Everett and Stanley, who are playing for Harrison's varsity as freshmen. Everett is averaging 15.6 points.

|Version 2 (modified by acarter, 3 years ago) (diff)
<Script for Andrew's monologue. Order is flexible and ad-lib was generally
successful in practice, so this should only be a guideline. This script is light on
the concrete fractions example.>
Let's talk school. Meta-school. So you go to school, you sit in class, you "listen"
for a while. Maybe the teacher shows some slides. They might even be clear and
visually interesting, like this one. But you still aren't paying attention. Let's
say it's a class on fractions. The teacher shows some examples, multiplying and
adding things, and it sort of makes sense, but it still hasn't quite clicked.
Then, you walk out the door, and bang! You've forgotten everything the teacher was
talking about. Sound familiar? Actually, studies have been done on this, you REALLY
DO forget things when you walk out a door.
So anyway, you get home having forgotten all this stuff, then you have to do your
homework. You sit there, stare at homework, and you can sort of see what it's
saying, but it doesn't quite make sense yet. You know you're supposed to combine
these fractions somehow, but do you multiply the denominators or add them? It
seemed so much easier when the teacher went over it in class. But at home, you
can't just go ask the teacher about it. Let's say you decide to add them, put down
answers, but you're not completely sure about all of them.
So you stumble through the homework, turn it in, you're still not quite sure what's
going on. Now you have to wait a day or two before you get the homework back. You
don't know yet whether or not you did it right, and you probably have another
homework assignment. You don't even know whether the first one was right, so the
second one isn't much better.
A day or two later, you finally get back the homework and find out what you did
right and wrong. It takes a day or more to get any feedback.
And bang! on to the next topic. Half the class is bored, half the class is lost,
and the teacher has to move on.
We're stuck in this rut where it takes days to get feedback on whether you've
multiplied these fractions correctly. Things are explained in class and they might
make sense, but then you get home and it's so much harder. You work on it at home,
then get back to school and forget why the homework was so difficult. The response
time is between a day and a week just to find out whether you were supposed to
multiply those numbers or if you should have added.
But alot has changed even in the last 20 years. Maybe now, we can do better.
</Andrew's script>
<John's script, with occasional interjections by Andrew.>
How can we improve this situation? What do we want? Well, we want something fun.
Homework is boring, lectures are boring... we want it to be interesting, something
that will keep us awake. We want feedback, instant feedback. I want to know RIGHT
NOW whether my answer is right or wrong. I want to know RIGHT NOW whether I should
have added or multiplied those numbers. And we want to learn stuff. That's the
point, after all, we want to learn better.
<Andrew> Fun, feedback, and learning... How can we do all this? </Andrew>
What if we take all the content from the lectures, all the content from the
homework, and put it in a game? Now it's fun! Now we have instant feedback.
<Andrew> I see, now I can click a button and find out RIGHT NOW if my answer is right.
Even more important, if it's wrong, the game can explain how to do it correctly. </Andrew>
Exactly! It's there exactly when you need it, when working on these problems in the
game. Plus, it's a game. It's fun. You get points, you get cool graphics, and best
of all you get a theme song. Let's go check it out.
</John's script>
<Zack's script (first half of game walkthrough)>
Now we're going to walk through our game. I'm going to start it... (Start game. Theme song will play for a few seconds, then Andrew or John will turn
it down.)
You just heard a little bit of our theme song there. To start, I just hit the "New
Game" button. (Hit "New Game")
This is the opening sequence, which explains the plot of the game. We have the
sound down right now, but the general idea is that you're an elephant and you need
to find parts for a racecar. We're going to skip the rest of the opening and go
straight in to the first minigame.
(Hit "Enter"; John/Andrew? turn up speakers; wait for minigame intro to complete) I'm going to try matching some things randomly here and see what happens.
(...narrate actions...) Now I hit "check" and... not right. But the lines did
change color. So I can see that the lines in green are correct, and I just need to
change the lines in red. This is the instant feedback we were talking about, I know
right away that (example). Now, let's do it right this time (...narrate actions,
hit "check" and continue to overworld).
Now we're seeing some new stuff. This is the "overworld". This is the 3D world
where all the characters and the racecar parts live. There's a prompt at the bottom
of the screen explaining how to move around. These prompts pop up in the overworld
pretty often, in case we need a reminder of the controls.
If we look around, we can see some red rectangles, which are locked doors. We play
minigames to unlock the doors. Our character is an elephant, so you can see the
trunk. Right here in front of us is a crate. If we approach the crate (approach
crate), there's another prompt here... and we found a map!
The map shows us here, and it shows where all the crates are with the racecar parts
we need. These red lines show all the locked doors we'll need to open. Now we know
where we need to go, let's close the map (close map) and Dietrich is going to take
us through the rest of the walkthrough.
</Zack's script>
<Dietrich's script (second half of game walkthrough)>
I noticed one of the parts we want is off to the right, let's go take a look. (Go
right to door). Here we're prompted to unlock the door. (Start minigame; let
minigame intro play).
Alright, so we want to balance this scale. We can drag and drop these blocks. Let's
put them somewhere random and check it. (Put weights somewhere wrong and click
"check"). Ok, so that didn't work, the scale is still tipped. If we move these
around, it will tip one way or the other. (Demonstrate). If we have to, we can keep
trying combinations until we find one that works. But let's do it right this time.
(Put weights in the right place and click check).
So now we're back in the overworld, and we're on the other side of the door.
There's another crate here, let's see what's in it. (Go open crate)
A chair! The chair is now in our inventory. While we're here, let's check out some
of these other buttons. We have the encyclophant, which is currently empty but will
eventually store information accumulated from minigames. The inventory holds all of
our racecar parts. The map from that first crate is always available here, and we
can stop the game up here.
We have a few more rooms to explore, but we don't want to ruin all the surprises
and bad jokes in this demo, so that's it for now. </Dietrich's script>
<Future work (John and/or Andrew)>
That's our game so far. We'd like to talk for a minute about all the shiny things
we plan to add.
Of course, the graphics are incomplete. Over the next month, we'll be adding loads
of art for walls, doors, floors and everything else in the game.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. We'll also be adding lots of minigames.
Right now, we have minigames in development with energy transfer puzzles (like a
Rube Goldberg machine), a wind tunnel, heat conduction, and heat convection, and
there will be even more.
Finally, we hope to add statistics to the game. The teacher will be able to see
graphs showing what minigames were most difficult, so she can focus more on those
topics in class.
</Future work>
<Closing (order arbitrary)>
<John> That concludes our talk. Before we go, I'd like to point out that our speakers were
well-prepared, engaging, and spoke. Also, our slides had minimal text. I'm John... </John>
<Andrew> and I'm Andrew... </Andrew>
<Dietrich> and I'm Dietrich... </Dietrich>
<Zack> and I'm Zack. Thanks for listening. </Zack>

this worked well for us when we noticed a few fleas and they killed them. like all products they wont kill fleas by themselves. fleas are just like lice if you have an infestation you need to treat everything because they can be anywhere. this worked really well for us and we keep it around all the time just in case we see some fleas.
Pros: good product

This Sequel Is Awesome and Easy!
Pros: Decent iPod sound quality, EASY pairing with iP5, intuitive controls, good iP5 call quality (both ways); Much better sound than a single BT earpiece
Cons: Must remove an earpiece during calls (drum effect); Ear pieces are very large; Length of charge is short at ~4 hours or so
I took a leap of faith with this purchase. There were only 9 reviews on Amazon, but the avg was 4.5. I don't usually expect a lot of credence in most Amazon reviews, but people are critical of bluetooth headsets in general. I am, too. My initial testing, though by no means extensive, indicate that this BT stereo headset is a capable little item. I had a range of over 20' several times, which means I don't need to carry my iP5 around my office. Callers say it sounds, "good," "normal," "like a real phone" (whatever that means). And the tunes on my iP5 sound as good as entry-level earphones. I haven't tested it outside or in my car, yet. I don't expect any surprises in the car,...(read more)

You know that old saying, "The government brainwashed assassin is always the one you least suspect."
These are not only great words by which to live, but also the plot of the summer movie starring Kristen Stewart and Jessie Eisenberg American Ultra. Eisenberg plays the unlikely killer as he comes under attack. But all he wants to do is get back to his girlfriend, Stewart, and propose to her.
What's a brainwashed stoner to do!?
Stewart and Eisenberg last worked together on the critically acclaimed movie Adventureland, which also featured its fair share of drug use.
When done right, these audio mashups are pretty spectacular. Here's another example.
Hear that sounder? It's the pitter patter of little warthog hooves! Four piglets born April 8 have officially made their debut! Learn more: http://bit.ly/1GDAKGjPosted by Detroit Zoo on Wednesday, May 27, 2015
Someone in power over at the Detroit Zoo really loves Game of Thrones as they announced they were naming five new piglets after characters on the show May 27.
Yes, the world welcomed females Daenerys, Sansa and Cersei, and males Tyrion and Hodor into it's terrible embrace as they were born April 8. Not sure why it took them so long to announce the new names, maybe the good zoologists and George R. R. Martin enthusiasts just needed to see whose personalities the swine best embodied.
"We're thrilled to have this new litter to add to our warthog family. Like all pigs, warthogs are smart and precocious and a lot of fun to watch running and rooting around in their habitat," said Scott Carter, chief life sciences officer for the Detroit Zoological Society.
The warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) has a large head with a flat face, high-set eyes and elongated snout. A mature warthog stands about 30 inches tall at the shoulder and can weigh between 125 and 300 pounds. Its stocky, muscular, almost-hairless body features wrinkly, gray skin; a long, coarse mane along its neck and back; and a long, tasseled tail.
Among the warthog's most noticeable characteristics are the four large tusks protruding from the sides of its snout. The two upper canine teeth curve up and over the snout while the sharp lower canines are short and straight. The warthog also sports protruding facial warts which give the species its name.

This shining beacon of a fan counted his lucky stars at getting so close to Arya Stark actor Maisie Williams.
Maybe he had just been drinking or the girl was a terrific liar, but the real Williams had to set him straight on Twitter.

After Harry Potter author and resident Twitter Goddess JK Rowling tweeted a message of love and admiration for Ireland's recent gay marriage vote outcome by proposing a marriage between Dumbledore and Gandalf, the Westboro Baptist Church (regarded as the resident cesspool of humanity) challenged her fantastic meme by saying they'd picket any such union:
Rowling shut them down deftly, but one twitter user suggested that may not have been the right thing to do:

Of all Robert Ludlum's best sellers, the Bourne novels remain among his most-read, most listened-to, and most-loved. Re-enter the shadowy world of Jason Bourne, an expert assassin like no other, in this latest fast-paced, action-packed instalment that shows why Ludlum still remains the unsurpassed master of the genre.
Bourne's enemies are gathering force. Severus Domna, a secret and ancient cabal, has called forth its members from around the globe, with one objective: to vanquish the last person capable of destroying their bid to de-stabilize the world economy: Jason Bourne. But how can they possibly succeed where so many others have failed? By turning Bourne's most trusted friend into his greatest - and most deadly - enemy.
Boris Karpov has reached the pinnacle of his career. He has taken over one of the most powerful security organisations in the world - but at a price. Karpov agreed to a devil's pact with the former head, and now he has to deliver. But it's far worse than anything Karpov could have imagined - he must kill his oldest friend, Jason Bourne.
Now Bourne finds himself in a world where friend and foe go hand-in-hand. Bourne's journey will lead him down a path of brutal murder and destruction - one from which there is no escape....
Bourne is back, and this time the stakes are higher than ever.
©2011 Eric Van Lustbader and Robert Ludlum (P)2011 Orion Publishing Group Limited
"Why the music"
Quite hard to get into the book . The readers voice not so good, but the worst thing was the music played in the action parts.. Did not Finnish the book . The music was just so bad... Richie
"How many could people could be killed in a book?"
Apparently one too many!
It starts with a lot of noise and the background music makes it very hard to understand or to follow what's going on, then it jumps from there. Every 5 seconds somebody dies most brutally, so at the end there is not many people to follow. Bourne does not eat, sleep or do anything at all but kill, kill, kill...
Maybe it would look better on a movie screen. As a book, it a big chunk of time to waste!
"Terrible disappointment"
I loved the Bourne movies, so I was excited about the opportunity to listen to this book during my journeys to and from work. There are some exciting action scenes with narrow escapes, some interesting characters, a shady multinational terror organisation etc. My problem was that it didn't hold my interest - I couldn't see the coherent and overarching plot and I was bored by the long sections of dialogue. Because of this, even the action scenes lacked any interest. I found that I didn't care what happened - and so I gave up half-way through.
"Very disappointing"
I think it might be time for Eric Van Lustbader or Robert Ludlum's estate to stop writing these now because I think they've exhausted the franchise.
I've read the three originals and all the previous Van Lustbader books and enjoyed them all. In fact I think I enjoyed the Van Lustbader ones more because they weren't quite as complex and were a bit more up to date but I wasn't able to continue with this book, I found it so cheesy. Adding music has not helped - 'exciting' music when some action is about to kick off does nothing for me, I'm afraid.
"Potential but ruined with over production."
This is the first Audio book I have ever struggled with and at times have had to push myself to listen on. There are so many characters and storylines it is hard to keep up, particularly if not listening to the whole book in a short space of time (didn't listen for 3 days and had quite literally lost the plot).
The American narrater does a good job managing the many accents he uses but his use of 'English' is often hard to take in and after a while the voice became grating.
Worst thing about the book are the musical interludes (designed to add tension I suppose) that make the narration hard to hear and become increasingly annoying.
"Over complicated"
I persisted with this book, but what a struggle, it's over complicated, written for the film industry I imagine, it's part of a set as the ending is so sudden and so unsatisfactory there must be another to follow. I will not read/ listen to it. I m still trying to work out the plot, who's who and the connections between them. Was a Bourne fan, but not this series.
"Better than expected"
Contrary to recent reviews, I thought the latest version was quite a good listen.
From the first moments I was gripped by the narration and how the narrator described the characters and settings.
I think due to the success of the films, peoples expectations are very different once they read/listen to the book.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

San Francisco, California
My Rating
I believe we were booked on the wrong tour. We were told our tour started at 1pm and to be ready for pick up at our hotel between 12pm and 1pm. We were finally picked up at 2:30pm. We had to contact the local tour company multiple times while we waited and were told several reasons for why the driver was running late. When we were finally picked up, the others on the tour seemed to know the tour started at 3pm, not at 1pm (note - we were told 1pm). We wanted the 1pm tour, not the 3pm tour. The actual tour was nice and we got to visit and see several sites we have not been to before while in San Francisco. However, due to the tour starting later, as we drove past several of sites we were not able to see them due to it being dark outside. It got almost comical as our guide described what we should be seeing but could not. A huge disappointment was when we stopped at the Cliff House. It was dusk and foggy. We could hear the water hitting the rocks but could not see the ocean. If we had arrived at this site earlier we might have had a site to see. Also, due to the tour starting two hours later than we thought we missed our dinner plans for that evening. That was very disappointing. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind. We enjoyed spending time with him. I believe in the future I will book my tours directly through the local company rather than using a 3rd party company like Viator.

Megaworld inaugurates Cebu project
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Property developer Megaworld Corp. has unveiled a P20-billion investment plan for its township development in Cebu, the Mactan Newtown, which is replicating the "Eastwood City" cyberpark model.
"In the next seven years, we are investing P20 billion in this township to build luxury residential condominiums, office towers, a world-class lifestyle mall, our very own Richmonde Hotel and, soon, a sports and leisure facility," Megaworld chair and chief executive officer Andrew Tan was quoted in a press statement released in Manila as saying during the formal inauguration of the project in Cebu on Wednesday.
The inauguration was graced by President Benigno Aquino III, who proclaimed Mactan Newtown in June last year as a mixed-use special economic zone for information technology, tourism and retirement under the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA).
The township is based on the same "live-work-play" lifestyle concept that Megaworld has pioneered in the Philippines. This refers to a project where Filipinos live, work and play in one setting, having residential buildings, office towers, retail outlets, malls operate in a so-called "township."
"We see the Mactan Newtown as a major driver of growth for Lapu Lapu City and Cebu in general in terms of job opportunities, sports and recreation, retail shopping and of course, tourism," Tan said in the press statement.
"What we have done in Eastwood, we are bringing them here in Cebu, here at The Mactan Newtown," said Tan, referring to Eastwood City, Megaworld's first township development and the country's first cyberpark.
Two luxury residential condominiums in Cebu were launched last year— 8 Newtown Boulevard and One Pacific Residence. The company said both of these were already sold out, mostly to Japanese retirees. A new residential cluster will be launched this year.
Megaworld has teamed up with the Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA), allowing foreigners who want to retire in The Mactan Newtown to obtain Special Resident Retiree's Visas.
As a cyberpark, Mactan Newtown is expected to generate employment for 25,000 full-time business process outsourcing workers within five to seven years. Two BPO companies, EnfraUSA and Results Manila, expected to start their operations by April. These companies will occupy the five-story One World Center, the first office tower to rise in the township. Around 1,400 workers will be employed by the two companies. Both are first-time locators in Cebu.
"We have fully leased out One World Center, so we will be starting the construction of our second BPO tower, Two World Center, this year. It will accommodate an additional 2,000 workers. We hope to have it ready by first quarter of next year as several big BPO companies are already lining up to lease," said Jericho Go, Megaworld first vice president for business development and leasing group.
In two to three years, office space for lease is seen to grow as 8 Newtown Boulevard and Pacific World Tower open for business. Both towers will accommodate around 13,000 BPO seats.
The first fastfood tenant to open in the township project last December at the ground floor of One World Center was McDonald's, the biggest in Central Visayas in terms of seating capacity.
Megaworld also has plans to bring the world-class concept of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls to The Mactan Newtown to provide residents and BPO employees a unique experience in shopping, dining, leisure and entertainment.

Additionally, I will point out that when you twist the known meaning of another persons statement to mean something that suits you, as you frequently do on this forum, that is known as bearing false witness (lying). As you claim great Biblical scholarship, you probably know that is a violation of a commandment.
If you or a loved one is a banker who did not get a bonus from a failing/loosing bank, I apologize for the use of the word all. Any bonus from losing/failing banks receiving taxpayer bailout money is lavish,excessive, undeserved , detestable, dishonest and should be illegal, even if it was a penny. If you are one of those-, in my view, hell cannot be hot enough.
<quoted text>
I am correct in the above statement as I do not speak lies. If you understand English you will note it is present tense. Anything I may have said in the distant past would be excluded.
Now to the crux of the matter. We have discussed several issues here. Please show where I have intentionally lied to deceive you. I will use your "ALL bankers received LAVISH bonus" lie as an example. Please show where I have done ANYTHING like that.

A 4-year-old boy was severely injured on Tuesday as the school bus driver slammed brakes bringing bus to a sudden halt. On Tuesday, when Yadnesh Khedkar, studying in senior kg section of Sinhagad springdale school, Wadgaon, was returning home from school, the driver suddenly brought the bus to a halt.As he fell down, his tongue got stuck between his teeth leading to a hole in his tongue. However, instead of rushing Yadnesh to a doctor or informing his parents, the lady attendant on the bus dismissed the injury as a minor one.
But, after an hour when Yadnesh reached home, his father gauged the seriousness of the injury and rushed him to a nearby hospital.He was taken to Chinmay Hospital where he was administered with six stitches in his tongue. The child's father, Ulhas Khedkar, a sales representative, approached Dattawadi police station and filed a written complaint, asking for the school representatives to look into the matter.
The police said that they were looking into the matter and appropriate action would be taken after investigation.More than a dozen members of Patit Pavan Sanghatna were present at the station to convince the police to take an action against the school management terming the matter as gross negligence on the part of school. Maruti Navale of Springdale Society,said he will talk to the principal of the school and then get back. Later, however, he refused to provide any more information.
