Football Zombie makes the big plays.
Frankenstein's monster is the creature inspired by the Mary Shelley novel, Frankenstein. Usually creatures inspired by this theme are made from different body parts and almost always have bolts through their necks. They're usually naive and destructive.
Games that have been used as the basis for motion pictures.
These spooky entities are the spirits of the dead, returned from beyond their graves for generally sinister purposes. There's generally about even odds whether a particular ghost will be helpful or malevolent towards the living, but some ghosts just want to be left alone entirely.
Gibs (giblets) are, basically, what's left of someone after they make contact with an explosive object or powerful weapon. They can be seen in games such as Doom, Quake, Team Fortress 2 and many, many more.

Enemy in Doom games, also known as Former Commando or Chaingunner.
Henchmen are the loyal grunts caught in between the player and the main antagonist. Without them every game would be nothing more then a last boss battle.
Similar to the Wilhelm Scream, this is an often used voice sample heard in many games, e.g. Starcraft and Half-Life 2. It is also known as the "TIE fighter scream" for it's similarity to the sound the passing fighters make in Star Wars: A New Hope.

Enemies will spawn infinitely until you have accomplished a certain goal, e.g reached a checkpoint or killed a certain number of enemies.
A situation where the player-controlled character loses their life immediately. The quickness of that demise is often a stark departure from the balance of power, and sometimes the rules, established by the developers during the rest of the game.

Man and Superman and Three Other Plays
Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003 - Drama - 535 pages
Man and Superman and Three Other Plays, by George Bernard Shaw, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics: New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Acclaimed as a "second Shakespeare," Irish-born George Bernard Shaw revolutionized the British theater. Although his plays focus on ideas and issues, they are enlivened by fascinating characters, a brilliant command of language, and dazzling wit.
One of Shaw's finest and most devilish comedies, Man and Superman portrays Don Juan as the quarry instead of the huntsman. John Tanner, upon discovering that his beautiful ward plans to marry him, flees to the Sierra Nevada mountain range, where he is captured by a group of rebels. Tanner falls asleep, and dreams the famous "Don Juan in Hell" sequence, which features a sparkling Shavian debate among Don Juan, the Devil, and a talkative statue. With its fairy-tale ending and a cast literally from hell, Man and Superman is a hilarious cocktail of farce, Nietzschean philosophy, and Mozart's Don Giovanni.
Also included in this volume are Candida, Shaw's first real success on the stage, Mrs. Warren's Profession, which poked fun at the Victorian attitude toward prostitution, and The Devil's Disciple, a play set during the American Revolution.
John A. Bertolini is Ellis Professor of the Liberal Arts at Middlebury College, where he teaches dramatic literature, Shakespeare, and film. He has written The Playwrighting Self of Bernard Shaw and articles on Hitchcock and on British and American dramatists. Bertolini also wrote the introduction and notes to the Barnes & Noble Classics edition of Shaw's Pygmalion and Three Other Plays.

Mountain Lion seen at Baylands Park
Original post made by dan, Shoreline West, on Oct 3, 2008
Subject: Mountain Lion Sighting: Be Cautious on Trails Surrounding the Sunnyvale Campus
Please use caution when using the trails surrounding the Sunnyvale campus. This past Saturday, several trail users reported seeing a mountain lion within 100 yards of our campus, just north of Twin Creeks Field #4 near the trail of Baylands Park.
If you plan to use the trails:
Mountain lions are quiet, solitary and elusive, and typically avoid people -- attacks on humans are extremely rare. However, conflicts are increasing as California 's human population expands into mountain lion habitat.
Here are a few tips to follow:
-Do not hike, bike or jog alone.
-Avoid hiking or jogging when mountain lions are most activedawn, dusk, and at night.
-Keep a close watch on small children.
-Do not approach a mountain lion.
-If you encounter a mountain lion, do not run; instead, face the animal, make noise and try to look bigger by waving your arms; throw rocks or other objects. Pick up small children.
-If attacked, fight back.
-If a mountain lion attacks a person, immediately call 911.
For more information about mountain lions, visit the California Department of Fish and Game: Web Link.

Robin will be teaching the yoga class, and I'll be sharing about the benefits of the essential oils. Love it!
Essential oils have been used for therapeutic and holistic health purposes throughout history to stimulate healing and enhance overall wellness. When incorporated into a yoga and meditation practice, essential oils can elevate awareness and provide a deeper connection through the senses. Each workshop will include an introduction to use of essential oils, and an explanation of the benefits of specific oils used throughout the class. dōTERRA oils will be used throughout the practice via diffused aroma, internally by adding to water, and through application to the body.
Energy: Capture the Rejuvenation of Spring!
This workshop was created mindfully to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit and make room for the new. This all-levels detoxifying practice will cleanse the heart of emotional toxins with a smart sequence of twists and forward bends, humbly guiding the body to move out what is no longer needed. A deep physical spring cleaning, you'll leave rejuvenated from the inside out. Featured oils: peppermint, wild orange, lime, cedarwood, rosemary, geranium.
Please bring a glass, ceramic, or stainless steel water bottle to the class.

During this fiscal cliff fight, the Obama team has only \drawn two lines in the sand. The first was on raising the tax rate for people making over $250,000 a year. The other was refusing to allow raising the debt ceiling to be used for political gain. On both of these demands Obama has already folded like a tissue in a rainstorm.
A compromise on the tax rate is not that surprising. While the Obama team was firm on this point it always seemed more like a negotiation ploy than a real line in the sand.
The fold on the debt ceiling, though, has basically destroyed any negotiating creditability Obama might have had left with Congressional Republicans. President Obama repeatedly said he was not going to "play that game." His team has said they see the debt ceiling issue as having historic significance. The White House claimed they had a duty to the future to break this dangerous habit. The President used the strongest possible language to say he would not gold on this issue, yet two weeks later he completely does so.
This is just the latest in a long pattern of behavior by Obama. Obama always seems to blink first. By this point it would frankly be idiotic for any Congressional Republican to believe Obama will hold firm during a negotiation.
Ironically, Obama's inability to stand firm on any demand has probably made it more difficult for him to get the grand deal he desperately wants. Given how quickly and how often Obama relents it must be very difficult for John Boehner to sell any compromise to his caucus, since it is almost a sure bet that if Republicans remain intransigent Obama will make further concessions

The Back In Time Equipped Glitch (BiTE) is a trick that allows you to warp to the first King Bulblin Fight like the Back in Time Glitch, but allows you to use the items obtained from another save file.
It's important to note that the success of the Back in Time Equipped Glitch depends on the the map and the objects that load when the save file is RESTORED. This is because the game is trying to load two different maps at the same time.
After getting the iron boots, save in Mayor Bo's House. Go to the Ordon Ranch, and immediately after Link stops moving, turn around and use a Long Jump to get over the loading zone. From here, roll about 3 times and do BiTE. This will automatically warp you to the King Bulblin battle. Obviously this faster spot for BiTE can't be done on the Wii Version, so instead, BiTE would be done from the bridge to the Faron Woods for the Wii.
There is a set-up that uses shield bash after the LJA over the loading zone which can be buffer and hence a good alternative. To do this stand just before a white spot on the wall shown in the video which is near the edge of the physical ground, then line up your first heart between the two poles, finally press R and D-Right at the same time to buffer the shield bash, now zoom out once and then press X-Start-B (With B being the last button)

I need a website for my new Screen Company. The logo is attached. I also already have a site for my old company which is now going to private Lowes Installation Services and moving out of retail sales. [obscured] (ASP)
I want to totally overhaul the site and make it parallel a professional law enforcement website as my new company is "Screen Enforcement" and the logo is a badge.
ASP's website also has an interactive product estimation program that I want to slightly overhaul with a new look and some light modifications. All the programming can remain the same. I will need someone who can make these changes in whatever program that was created in.
1 more feature I would like to add is a page that mirrors the attachment that looks like a pool enclosure with prices. I would like to have a user platform to modify and change the prices in that image which will be visible on a tab of the website.
The site will be 4-5 pages + the estimation program and should be extremely simple....

This week's Read This Next selection is My Two Worlds by Sergio Chejfec, an Argentinian author who currently resides in NYC. My Two Worlds is his first book to be translated into English (it's on sale in August, published by us), although it's his most recent work, which is, mysteriously, how things tend to work in translation—I'm the editor of this book, and I'm not even sure why it works that way.
So, rather than tell you why we chose this book for RTN, I suppose it might be more interesting to talk about why Open Letter chose to publish Chejfec, or since I don't really remember anymore why, specifically, we signed on Chejfec (so far, we've signed him for three books, My Two Worlds, The Planets, and The Dark), at least say a few words about why his work appeals to me, and for that I'm going to start backwards, in an awkward place, the place where you reveal things about an author that make him sound difficult, or not salable, and then move away from that toward something slightly less awkward, to the place where potential readers might be found.
The awkward place, then: Sergio Chejfec is a writers' writer. When I show Spanish-language writers our catalog, or talk about our new or upcoming books, they inevitably stop me at Chejfec's name—and by they I mean a handful of writers, and by inevitably I mean each member of this handful; that is, they, inevitably; but, to be fair about my confessional fairness, this small sample is a distinguished one—and say something like, "I adore Chejfec."
Well, what does that mean then, that people who practice at a high level have this sort admiration for one of their fellows? In this case, I think, it means that he does something with his writing that seems magical to them, magical even to people who are familiar with all the tricks and who are themselves in the process of mastering them. For example, and here I hope we're starting to move toward the less awkward place, but slowly: My Two Worlds, Chejfec's most recent book, the representative sample of everything he has learned to this moment in his writing life, is a one-hundred-page novel about a walk in a park.
Now, I'm a fan of the 'walk in a park' genre of novels (why shouldn't the walk in the park be a genre?). My favorite is Moo Pak by Gabriel Josipovici, but Chejfec outdoes even Josipovici in his boldness. Rather than a series of conversations that take place over several days at the same park, as in Moo Pak, My Two Worlds is about a single walk, in a single park, on one day, and it takes place almost entirely in the head of its narrator. There are no other interlocutors, except us.
Well. I did say we're moving slowly toward less awkward.
But what is magical about Chejfec is what he is able to do with this thinnest of threads. It's what his narrator inhabits during this brief journey, how he imagines himself into the lives of those around him, the digressive reflections that this walk inspires in him—on writing, inheritance, travel, war, on pedal boats. It's that he's able to conjure a compelling narrative out of what is almost an anti-narrative—or anti-novel, as Enrique Vila-Matas calls it in his introduction. That he's able to create this propulsive forward motion out of stasis, out of sitting on a park bench, and with such style, such beautiful style.
This near-magical ability of his is what drew us to Chejfec. And we hope you'll go over to Read This Next to get a feel for what he's capable of doing.

We bought one of those deals of the day - and in the deal was late checkout and one free breakfast. I made the booking and was offered the second breakfast for $20, I agreed.
So we went there, it was in a handy position for us, and we booked a room overlooking the gardens, the first impressions were great, so handy to the Queen Vic Market too. On booking in I made mention of the $20 extra for the second breakfast which noone seemed to know about. How needlessly embarrassing. I really don't get why when offering these things a note can't be made on the booking information of the offer. Anyway we booked in. The room was spacious enough, but the furniture had seen better days, very knocked around. But that didn't matter that much, it was clean and comfy. The staff were very nice and there were some great touches, like the free wi fi, the water with lemon slices by the lift for guests. If you are an early riser like me or have to catch an early flight, there is a pod coffee machine set up downstairs with tea, fruit and muesli bars. Nice thoughtful touch. We could only just hear the trams through the window, but only barely and wasn't a problem at all. The main part of the city is about a 15 min walk or a quick tram ride. There is a free one handy but sometimes it is very very crowded. I preferred walking.
As we were heading to our room for the night, I quickly reminded the concierge about the late checkout. Of course as with the breakfast, they didn't know anything about it but she said not a problem, will make a note of it. It just irks me a little that when you are offered these things that you feel when you try to redeem them you feel like you are doing something dishonest. Again, all it took was a note on my booking. Oh yes the bed was lovely and the big rainshower was beautiful. Very comfortable night's sleep.
Anyway we went to breakfast, I again asked about the $20...again it was a big drama, the girl asked a few people and came back after 10 minutes or so and said yes it is fine. Phew. Still should not have had to go through this....it was kind of embarrassing/humiliating. But in saying that the breakfast was top notch. Huge variety and the egg station was great. There is someone there that will cook fried/poached/omelettes to your liking fresh and also waffles. Love that.
