Letterman 'excited' and 'flattered' that Stephen Colbert will replace him
Associated Press
Stephen Colbert, shown at the 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards Governors Ball, has been tapped to succeed David Letterman as the host of CBS??? ???The Late Show.???
CBS has named Stephen Colbert, star of the Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report," to replace David Letterman, who has announced he will retire in 2015. »Read Full Blog Post

Interesting choice. Very witty and in tune with today. It will be looking to see if any of the Colbert Report persona is a piece of who Stephen is. Best of luck.Hide replies
"in tune with today"
If you mean partisan, you're are correct.
It's called satire, genuis
David Letterman's Midwestern connection: he was born and raised in Indianapolis, IN., and began his broadcast career there. Don't know where Colbert was born, but he grew up in South Carolina. One question: will CBS allow Colbert to run the show in his trademark character? I can't see it happening--too much political content. Maybe he'll devote one segment per week to it, like Carson's memorable characters (Carnack, Aunt Blabby, etc). If you've ever seen SC interviewed as himself, he is a sober minded family man, highly intelligent, quick witted and well informed, with impeccable Southern manners. He'll be terrific!Hide replies
I would be pretty surprised if Colbert delved into his Comedy Central character during his tenure. That market will have to go back to the Daily Show and whoever (if anyone) winds up replacing Colbert's time slot. While the political satire may still occasionally be there, he's just too smart to make that a centerpiece of the show. Big-network late night shows are just not the place for that.
Likely Colbert replacement: John Oliver?
Thanks Hawthorne, I couldn't think of that guy's name. He's gotten pretty big on the comedy circuit and it may be time to give him a crack. Not quite sure how the British angle would play out, but they could always use it to make fun of Piers Morgan.
I doubt that a left leaning enterprise will make fun of another left leaner.
actually they do all the time on C.C. when something is lampoonable on EITHER side they go after it. THAT pretty much proves that you havn't been watching closely, Chick.
Man, Hawthorne you really got me there. Wow! The truth is out there now for everyone to see that I don't watch CC.
I read last week that Oliver is getting a show with somebody but it wasn't with C.C..
Why did you call Dave Clark a pr*ck, Chick? He had a wonderful special on PBS the other night. 'Catch Us if You Can'?
John Oliver's new Sunday night show, "Last Week Tonight" premiers April 27 on HBO.
Dang, i don't get HBO. I wish Oliver would replace John Stewart. While Stewart is still funny, his shtick is getting a little old, and Oliver was terrific fill-in this Summer.
Hath.. You refer to the Dave Clark Five?
Colbert's Midwestern connection is his attendance at Northwestern and his Second City work - historically speaking a marvelous comedy troupe. That said, hosting a network late night talk show is tough business. Only a few have really made it over the years, many have failed. Although I'm skeptical of Colbert, he stands a chance given the remaining mediocre at best hosts that will be remaining on TV. However, translating success at the niche audience level of a Comedy Central to a major network will be extremely difficult. It is likely that most of the public hasn't even heard of the guy.
Spot on Chick, now if we could drop all this partisan B.S. we might be able to agree to disagree?
I would be concerned that his comedy is above the comprehension ability of the average late night TV watcher.Hide replies
that's a fair point. Subtlety isn't this country's strong suit
or yours for that matter.
I hope Comedy Channel finds something decent to replace his show with now that they unloaded the idiot to CBS.Hide replies
i think you'll be able to still find your comedy at Fox News.
Gee, I bet Colbert has a ton of rape jokes concerning children of conservatives and maybe even some jokes regarding mentally impaired children of conservatives. Yup, Colbert's a good pick, maybe he can even do an occasional monologue about the war on women.Hide replies
jack, go take a nap.
Jack, have you ever seen Colbert's show?
TransitRider - Yesterday at 4:21 PM -
'Jack, have you ever seen Colbert's show?"
Yeah, the one where he pretended to stab karl Rowe in the face with a knife was hilarious. I hope Hannity never does that or the libs will be picketing the studios and demanding that FOX be shut-down.
The right prides itself on being a victim of the media

Great moniker. BTW....better hurry or you may be late for your treatment.
You do realize, don't you, that on the Comedy Central show he plays a character (who also happens to named Stephen Colbert) and the character is a send-up of conservative talking heads like O'Reilly and Hannity, right?
hey jack0............that's a Ham Rove he's stabbing not an actual face. And he's not actually stabbing......he's carving, because as we all know a slice of Ham Rove is so delicious!
HawthorneWingoII - Today at 9:50 AM -
hey jack0............that's a Ham Rove he's stabbing not an actual face. And he's not actually stabbing......he's carving,
Carving, not stabbing on a mock likeness of Rove? Okay, that's better. Hannibal Lecter actions are much better than the standard run of the mill "stabbing" in the face. After all, you see one face stabbing you've seen them all. BTW, you weren't one of the lefties that were horrified when Sarah Palin posted a campaign map with cross hairs designating districts in which to focus on were you?
I'm only horrified by 'jack magma'.
Thanks wingnut.....I try.
I hope his show does not change much from the Comedy Central format, although I imagine it will. I can not watch Letterman for more than about 30 seconds but Colbert is a genius.
Another biased liberal/socialist will last two years and exit with the rest of the Washout band of fools!! Its a shame they can't all be impeached together....Hide replies
Does everything if your life have to rearranged into politics?
Gee, now that Colbert is moving to late night many libs that have to get up early will be losing their primary news source. Thank GOD, Whoppi is still available for the early-risers.Hide replies
What does my father have to do with Whoppi?
jack maga, call me from your old dial phone, or maybe even send me a telegram and i'll explain the concept of a dvr to you.
it's also crazy you think of Colbert as a news source.
it's just entertainment.

"it's also crazy you think of Colbert as a news source.

That's rich. Most dimwits on the left couldn't identify a news source if they tripped over one. Favorite targets of the left are: Limbaugh, O'Reilly, and Hannity; but couldn't name a FOX news journalist if their life depended upon it.
There are no actual journalists at Fox news, everyone knows that.

"There are no actual journalists at Fox news, everyone knows that."
So sez the doofus that can't even spell FOX [sic} news. BTW, how many award winning journalists does MSNBC have in comparison to FOX?
Jack Maga wrote: "BTW, how many award winning journalists does MSNBC have in comparison to FOX?"
Does FOX have anybody to compare to Richard Engel?
Engel if fluent (speaking and reading) in Arabic (and Spanish & Italian), and often (it seems like every week) ends up reporting from places like Egypt, Libya, Syria, or Afghanistan. (Does FOX have ANYBODY fluent in Arabic who regularly visits the Arab world???)
I suspect Engel has more awards (Peabodys, Emmys, Edward R Murrows, etc) than ANY on-air person at FOX News.

Transit, I clearly said MSNBC! I know, I know, MSNBC and NBC are related, just as the "Nashville Sounds" and the Milwaukee Brewers are affiliated with one another. Nevertheless, you chose to pick ONE person from another team and neglected a multitude of stars [Chris Wallace, Brit Hume, Judy Miller, James Rosen, Eric Shawn, Wendell Goler, Jim Angle, Brian Smith, Jennifer Griffin, to name but a few] from the comparison team [FOX} that I mentioned. What's the matter? Did you neglect the MSNBC stars [Chris Matthews,Keith Olberman] to substitute a pitch hitter by bringing in Richard Engel?
Engel regularly appears on MSNBC and does much longer pieces than appear on NBC.
man, i'm not even gonna swing at that softball.
Steve Douchie is a journalist, right??

Steve "Douchie?" Wow, what a witty retort. Did you just make that up? Mega kudos, no doubt you're a follower of Colbert. BTW, Steve Doocy never claimed to be a journalist. He comments on daily events. Now how about Whoopi Goldberg; she's always commenting on various items in the news....is she a journalist?
Whoopi played a great Guinan, but in real life she's an ignorant racist.

Hilarious. Someone with a 5 year old mentality attempting to demean someone else by calling them a 6 year old. Now that's ironic!!!

the equivalent of "no i'm not. you are"?
must be time for your nap.
Hopefully he will retain the wonderful character exposing the stupidity of conservatism generally and Faux "news" hosts specifically.

Facebook's CEO wants to create a path to Internet access for the 5 billion people still unconnected. How nice. Of course, eventually those people will turn into a revenue stream for his company.
The social network makes its results official. Though people won't be able to vote anymore, Facebook promises other ways for public engagement in the future.
The site's proposed policy changes are officially open for a vote. Think it's a farce? The company's calling in an independent auditor.
For the third time in Facebook history, the social network will put a vote about how it does business to its members. And if history is any guide, turnout will be low.
The social network is proposing to change the way it makes decisions about how Facebook is governed.
Facebook to change user participation process after low turnout. But did company do enough to notify people?
It appears that Facebook isn't keen on sharing the details with it constituents regarding what brought the site to its knees on Thursday.
Executives say user feedback and vote process for policy changes were flawed, so Facebook is looking into changing it.
The company's marketing director--who's also the sister of CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg--is leaving Facebook after six years to start a new-media firm to help companies become more social.
Company's new face is Joe Lockhart, a Washington insider with experience in the deepest media trenches during Clinton's bruising second term.

Product description
Thoroughly researched, Rodney Castleden's Minoans: Life in Bronze Age Crete here sues the results of recent research to produce a comprehensive new vision of the peoples of Minoan Crete. Since Sir Arthur Evans rediscovered the Minoans in the early 1900s, we have defined a series of cultural traits that make the 'Minoan personality': elegant, graceful and sophisticated, these nature lovers lived in harmony with their neighbours, while their fleets ruled the seas around Crete. This, at least, is the popular view of the Minoans. But how far does the later work of archaeologists in Crete support this view? Drawing on his experience of being actively involved in research on landscapes processes and prehistory for the last twenty years, Castleden writes clearly and accessibly to provide a text essential to the study of this fascinating subject.

NFL Week 11 Free Pick: Houston Texans vs. New York Jets
- Updated: November 19, 2010
Houston Texans
New York Jets
If the Houston Texans think that they are making the playoffs, they need to go on a run, and in a hurry. They'll take on one of the two teams that are tied for the best record in the NFL in their conference on Sunday afternoon, as they crack skulls with the New York Jets in NFL betting action.
What a way to get beaten… Houston knows that it got unlucky against the Jacksonville Jaguars when the hosts had their Hail Mary prayers answered with no time left on the clock, but this is becoming a real trend for the Texans. They just aren't able to put away these close games in big spots. The only good news this week is that their secondary shouldn't be abused like it has been all year long. We know that Houston's schedule has been rough, but there is absolutely no excuse to be giving up 301.3 yards per game through the air. Needless to say, an offense that ranks No. 6 overall in the league is being wasted, and it's a shame as well, as this is the most balanced attack that the Texans have ever had on their offense in franchise history. RB Arian Foster is amongst the league's top rushers with 920 yards on the campaign, while QB Matt Schaub has 2,319 yards through the air. Houston has failed to cover five straight games and is just 1-4 SU in those outings. The schedule isn't getting any easier either, as this is just the first of five straight games against teams that are almost certainly going to be in the second season.
The Jets have been awfully interesting this year, as this doesn't feel like a team that should be 7-2 on the season. Close call wins against the Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns, and Denver Broncos could have easily swung the other way, results which would have put New York in Houston's spot at 4-5 through nine games. A defense which absolutely looked impenetrable last season has allowed 20+ points in four of its last nine. At home this year, the offense has scored an average of just 16.5 points per game and was shut out in its most recent game. RBs Shonn Greene and LaDainian Tomlinson have only combined for six rushing touchdowns… However, the play of QB Mark Sanchez has picked up quite a bit, and that has made a huge difference. Sanchez might only have 1,978 yards and might be completing just 54.7 percent of his passes, but he has a TD/INT ratio of 12/6, a very acceptable number by the standards of most NFL signal callers. Virtually all of his passes go to one of five men, but his top two targets are WR Braylon Edwards and TE Dustin Keller. The two have combined for 62 catches for just under 1,000 yards, and each has taken in five TDs on the campaign.
It has been close games that have been killing the Texans all season long, and this is going to be no exception whatsoever. Expect Houston to stay close, but when push really comes to shove, it is going to be beaten in the dying moments once again, which is a sign of a team that isn't nearly as good as many think. Still, this will be a triumph for NFL betting fanatics.
NFL Free Pick: Houston Texans +7

Everyone one loves a mini dessert, and with this DIY you can treat all your guests to lots and lots of mini cookies. We just love the mini milk bottles they are packaged in here, but you could easily use a cellophane treat bag or small box.
What You'll Need:Wooden rolling pin Piping gel Sugar cookie recipe Fondant (in colors of your choosing) Small heart cookie cutter Food-use only paint brush Small acrylic rolling pin
How To:
Roll out sugar cookie dough with wood rolling pin, using extra flour if necessary to prevent sticking. Refrigerate until firm before proceeding to next step.
Use small heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut hearts from dough. Scraps can be either re-rolled and used again immediately or shaped into a flattened disk, wrapped in plastic wrap, and frozen.
Space cookies on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 325, checking after 6 minutes for doneness. Remove from oven when a slight golden brown can be seen around the edges.
While cookies bake, roll fondant thin with small acrylic rolling pin. Cut small hearts using same heart-shaped cutter used for cookies.
Brush cookie with piping gel.
Place fondant heart on top of cookie, pressing gently so it adheres to cookie.
Display cookies in mini milk jars (we purchased them on Amazon) tied with matching ribbon.
By: Jenny BattA touch of gold goes a long way! These metallic tassels will add an interesting flair to place settings. Materials White latex paint Small plastic container Paper clips Foil lined tray Bamboo skewer Gold liquid gilding Step One: Wrap thick cotton twine around your fingers about 20 times and cut the end. Step Two: Take a second piece of twine, then wrap and tie around the top. Knot to secure. Step Three: Unfold paperclips and hook on the tops of the tassels. Step Four: Pour white latex paint into a small container with high sides. Hold the tassel up with the paper clip and dip the tassel into the paint. Step Five: Use the skewer to press in the entire tassel until it is completely submerged. Pull out tassel and use skewer to scrape off any excess paint. Step Six: Lay to dry on a foil lined tray or cookie sheet. Use the skewer to gently style the tassel if needed. Repeat with remaining tassels. Let dry for 24 hours, flipping tassels over and placing them on a clean portion of the tray after 12 hours. You can also hang to dry with a tray underneath. Step Seven: Outside, paint each tassel gold and let dry. Spray a second coat. Flip over and cover the other side with two light coats. Let them air out a few days before use. DIY: Gilded Tassel Adornments Tie each tassel to cotton twine and wrap around napkins at each setting. Add a tag if desired. These would be just as fun as escort cards or attached to magnets and given as favors! (photos by hankandhunt.com)
Photo By Chelsea FussUsing five varieties of Lilac and a a few stems of springtime Spirea, we created a gathered, musky bouquet that any bride would be happy to sink her nose in for a day. The textured, romantic style is perfect for a modern, traditional or country wedding. You will need: 30 stems of lilac. We used: Korean Lilac (tiny flowers), "Beauty of Moscow (light pink), "Mount Baker" (white), Common Purple Lilac and Wedgewood Blue. 15 stems of spirea string flower clippers ribbon or cloth tape Directions: 1. Condition flowers overnight. Cut the stems and cut a slit upwards in each stem to allow it to drink water. Sit them in lukewarm water in a cool place away from drafts, heat, and fruit and food. 2. Strip most of the leaves off the lilacs. Usually the stems are long so trim them to around 12" each. Make sure there is one stem per large blossom. If there are two stems, trim one off. 3. Make piles of each type and color. 4. Gather 1- 2 stems in your one hand. Add stems at a 45 degree angle. Turn the bouquet to the right each time you add stems. The stems should spiral. For the most part, larger, heavier blooms should sit at the bottom of the bouquet and lighter buds and blossoms should sit near the top. 5. Secure with twine or string. 6. Add a ribbon. We used a patterned cloth tape (usually sold for bookbinding) and simply wrapped it on top of the string. If you use a ribbon, secure with a pin. Tips for working with lilacs: Always give them a clean cut when you bring them home. Cut at an angle, and then cut upwards into the stem, once. Use lukewarm water, lilacs don't like to be shocked by really cold or hot water. If some blooms start to wilt, recut the stems. Keep away from fruit, food, direct sunlight, and drafts. Plan to buy a bit more than you need, a few stems in the bunch will always wilt. Don't be afraid to work with lilac, if you remember these simple tips, it's easy! Photo By Chelsea Fuss
Photos By: Chelsea FussThese sweet and wild green wreaths are perfect for anytime of year (just change out the ribbon to suit the season). They look gorgeous on church doors, bride and groom chairs, or as pew markers. Total cost: $5 per wreath. Materials: Spool wire Floral tape Clippers Greens (about 15 stems per wreath, we used rosemary, bay and boxwood) Ribbon 1. Form a circle (whatever size you need. Remember your wreath will be slightly bigger than the form) with the spool wire and double it over several times. 2. Cover the circle in floral tape. 3. Cut small pieces of greens and, take excess leaves off about an inch of the bottom stem. 4. Secure each piece with wire. 5. Make sure you overlap the stems to cover any wires or mechanics. You may need to fill in with a few extra pieces. 6. You can make these up to a week ahead of time. Spray daily with water and keep in a cool, dark place. 7. Hang with ribbon and afterwards send them home with special guests. Add this natural touch to your big day - and have fun! Photos By: Chelsea Fuss

1. Have her walk you down the aisle!
Don't think you need to find a male replacement for that moment if Dad's no longer in your life. In one of our favorite features on our blog One Lovely Day, Silka was escorted by her mother, and we have never seen a woman look more proud. Another idea: give one arm to Dad, one arm to Mom, and have both parents walk you down the aisle. |
2. Give her a flower before the altar. Dad still doing the giving away? Take a moment before you step onto the altar to give your mother a flower from your bouquet. Purposefully singling her out right before you say your vows will show her (and everyone in attendance) how crucial her support has been in getting you there. The gesture will become even more special if you tuck one of her favorite blooms into your bouquet and present her with that. 3. Set aside a space dedicated to her memory. This beautiful idea comes from one of our Twitter followers (@MsMakeItRain29): If your mother has since passed, place a framed photo of her and her favorite flowers on the chair where she would have sat. 4. Include Mom in the getting ready fun. Book her a seat next to yours while you and your bridesmaids are getting your hair and makeup done. Involving her in this girls-only tradition will let her know know that you see her as a friend and confidant, which is the ultimate compliment. 5. Incorporate her wedding wear into your ceremony. In her New Jersey wedding, Marisa draped a dear late aunt's veil over her chuppah. We think this is an excellent compromise if you'd prefer to keep your bridal ensemble to yourself, but still want to show mom some respect for her marital history. 6. Recreate a moment from her wedding day. Sort through Mom's wedding pics and select a photo you find particularly striking (bonus points if it includes her parents). Suprise her by bringing the shot to your wedding and recreating the pose with your photographer—we guarantee she'll be touched by the gesture. Photo by Briana Marie Photography

Rate Your Pediatrician
If you're like most parents, your child's pediatrician is a pretty important person in your life. After all, you're partners in building healthy, happy children. But how do you know whether your doc really rates? In most cases it's more than just board certification, a stellar academic performance, and impeccable credentials. Among other things, it's the way a doctor handles your child's needle phobia, how quickly his office responds when you call for anything from an appointment to advice on bringing down a fever, and how expertly he translates medicalspeak into parent- and kid-friendly language. But don't take our word for it. We asked pediatricians around the country what qualities they valued in their colleagues, their practices, and their own kids' doctor. Here's what they had to say.She's a good communicator.
Whether your child's been diagnosed with asthma or whooping cough, if you don't understand the condition, you may not understand the treatment. And when you use medications improperly or don't recognize worsening symptoms, your child's health is at risk. "Doctors often don't realize that the things they explain are hard to understand," notes Andy Spooner, M.D., director of general pediatrics at the University of Tennessee and Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center, in Memphis. "So being eloquent and clear is one thing, but doctors have to go beyond that. They have to use a variety of communication methods. For example, if I saw an infant with eczema, I'd explain the condition, give the parents some printed material to take home, and also ask how they were going to bathe the baby that night, getting them to talk through what they're going to do."He's patient.
Granted, doctors are busy people, but you want yours to act like someone who has more than a nanosecond to spare. "A lot of it is about body language," says Ellen Kempf, M.D., medical director of the Children's Hospital Physician Associates, in Akron, Ohio. "As a mom, I want someone who is on my level -- who is sitting down instead of standing with a hand on the door."
Don't worry about taking an extra few minutes to ask questions -- a really great pediatrician will never make you feel guilty for worrying about your child's health. And he knows that your asking questions can actually save him time in the long run. When you're aware, for example, that a cold can last up to 14 days, you may be less tempted to bring your child back in on Day 5 because the sniffles persist. "If things are explained clearly and correctly from that first visit, parents will feel more reassured," says Mark Colon, M.D., a pediatrician at the Children's Hospital of Orange County Boys and Girls Club Clinic, in Santa Ana, California.
That's not to say you should expect an endless conversation with the doctor. "Say a child comes in with a rash, and the appointment is scheduled for ten minutes," Dr. Kempf says. "If the mom says, 'By the way, I need to talk to you about his school problems -- he's a bully on the playground, and he's not achieving,' then I'll say, 'We need to schedule an appointment to address this properly.' That gives credit and value to the problem, but I'm not ramming it into a ten-minute visit. Devoting insufficient time to an issue is no good for anyone."She has a top-notch medical support staff.
You don't need to be a doctor to give an immunization, take a throat culture, or perform a weight check, and a first-rate pediatric practice recognizes that, employing well-trained support staff like registered nurses and pediatric nurse practitioners. "Nurses can essentially do anything under the supervision of a doctor," Dr. Spooner says. "And, in fact, a lot of them do take on the exact same role as a physician." Because nurses' schedules are generally less hectic than a doctor's, you wait less and may have an easier time getting an appointment.He's accessible after hours.
Stomach bugs, croupy coughs, and frightening high fevers don't always respect the Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 workweek. They crop up on Christmas Day and on Saturdays at 11 p.m. But just because it's after hours, your pediatrician shouldn't be AWOL. "Don't expect your doctor to be there 24/7, but he should have a system that gives you access to round-the-clock medical care," Dr. Kempf says. That may mean having an answering service or registered nurses staffing the phone in the middle of the night with a doctor always on backup call.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) really interesting game. I forgot that a game like this existed since it's been so long since i last played one. But I must say, it's great to get back into them again. I love the concept, the visuals, and even the music. You've done yourself an excellent job there.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Brilliant. I wish there were more designers who actually care about video games as an art form like you do. The story was interesting, and I liked the atmosphere of slowly accumulating memories. I also liked how you explained how most of the powers worked, though I'm disappointed there's no explanation for double jumping. Ah well. The music was quite nice, though surprisingly fast-paced and upbeat in places. Suggestion: Record text from memories in case you want to see them? Perhaps in an additional sub-menu on the main menu. It would be also nice to have an easier way to backtrack at the point right before the final boss; it probably took me at least half and hour trying to get through the lava gauntlet backwards.
Jul. 18, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Please let me jump and shoot at the same time! And to the one crying about getting stuck - that is impossible. All you need to do is teleport back to start, you can't get stuck. :)
Jul. 17, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I've loved the fun facts, especially "the creator of the game is not a robot sent back from the future to kill Sarah Connor"
Jul. 15, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) For all the noobs,who say "Kalevala is a finnish city,which has nothing to do with this SHIT": Yes,but the game plays on a planet,which was found by a finnish explorer,OK!? Play before yu complain about things you dont know! By the way,cool game!

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Best quality? NO SLOWING DOWN ON HILLS!!! :D

Jul. 12, 2011
Jul. 12, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I love how this platformer actually addressed the fact that the islands are just floating in midair. Even if all they said was "a form of anti-gravity stone", it's still a way better explanation than Mario ever gives for his floating crap.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Nevermind, I figured it out. There is an upgrade for the quills, but the glyph at the walls was the red one, and not yellow like the upgraded quill. That could possibly be confusing.
Jun. 29, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) YAY! 1.6.5 is now up. You asked, I listened! The final boss fight is easier, revive posts now heal you (though there are now less of them!), and there's a brand new visual map! I've also fixed lots of bugs.
Jul. 11, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) At first I thought that I play a "alien dog" but now i know its "purple metallic pterodactylgreyhound" xD. Funny fact rule.
Aug. 1, 2014
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Fun fact: After you get double jump, When gliding up the path, when you see a small island on your right, you can glide to it and get a hidden message from the creator(s)!
Aug. 1, 2014
Under rating threshold (hideshow) ...why are there two different 'un-pause' buttons? Sometimes 'P' and somestimes 'Esc'? Why not just one?
Sep. 22, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Beating the boss cheat sheet: The boss will fire off a round of lasers, then 3 arrows that follow you, then a bomb. You must get under the bomb and jump up and hit it, that will knock it back into the boss, which will knock the boss down to the ground, allowing you to fire a quill at it to harm it. Do this 4 more times, and the boss will be defeated. Plus if you like this.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Non-humanoid protagonist - You don't get to see this much, but it's really refreshing when you do. This title really recreates a lovely retro feel in its artwork and gameplay 5/5
Jun. 25, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Can't walk into alter ego from the top after getting double jump, just stays as a black screen
Jul. 27, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Secret Fun Fact (Easter Egg) locations (that I know of) continued: 5. Purpose (right after the wrecked ship location) - go right and jump over the shaft. You should see fragment of mountain with a purple flower. Jump over it to get this secret. 6. Purpose (again) - at the end of the level, there is a purple teleporter. Jump over it and fall inside the invisible hole in the ground. After falling all the way down, you'll be congratulated by the game creator! Enjoy!

Under rating threshold (hideshow) I really like the game, but got stuck very early on. Rather frustrating, and I couldn't find any help through...
Jan. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Spelling error: "I landed on his planet." I think you meant "this." I believe this was the memory snippet when he found his capsule above where the game started. (this was the only spelling error I found, good job!)
Jan. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I think one of my favorite things about this game is the different key options. I absolutely HATE when I play a game like this and I only have the option they set forth. I've been using WSAD + Enter and it's amazing. Great game! :D Ps - "purple metallic pterodactylgreyhound mix" made me lmao. xD
Jan. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Great game, but there were a few annoyances. The game automatically pauses when focus is lost, which is fine, but doesn't unpause when focus is returned, which is particularly silly while in a mouse-driven menu. Unexpected easter eggs can be accidentally dismissed with no way to see them again. The trophy descriptions in the Ancestor Records are incomplete, with no way to review the text you see when you initially receive one (and which usually explains why you've received it). Finally, I found the game intermittently hiccupped, pausing for a second or two. The more entities (like projectiles) that were being created and destroyed, the more frequently it hiccupped. The strange thing is that this seems to have no correlation with either memory or CPU use; the game just takes a break.

Jul. 24, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) There are some slight annoyances, but overall I still give this 5/5. The music is wonderful and truly represents the setting and emotion of the game, and the plot is absolutely brilliant. This is one of the few Kongregate games I really want to see more of.
Jul. 12, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Anyone else try pausing it by clicking their health bar? xD
Jul. 11, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) It would be nice if, after I beat the game with the good ending, I could go back and see what the bad ending was...
Jun. 28, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) There's at least two easter eggs hidden at the top of the mountain.
Jun. 27, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Keeping this comment from Apsy alive: For the 4songs : - 1 Near the start (you need to activate a switch in right side of the same area) - 2 Near the place where you get the wing, you need to destroy a wall with the upgraded spikes - 3 Under the big ancestor statue, still by using the upgraded spikes against the small wall. - 4 After passing the door by activating the 3 crystals, jump into the first pit, then on the left side we can see the entrance for the last song

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Very fun little metroid-vania! I like the non-human main character as well, reminds me of the Shadow of the Beast games on the Amiga back in the day. I see it's been a few years since publishing this ChainedLupine, I hope you haven't given up on the expansion from lack of feedback or desire. I'd love to see more of this game. Thank you for creating and sharing it!
Jun. 25, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Someone should make a walkthrough for this game. Does anyone agree with me?

Sep. 28, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) This was a very well done and well put together game. It's also one of the first explorative/Metroid type games I finished by myself without help, which sadly is rare with my mind. The story was really well done and fun to follow as well as interesting to listen to. Don't know if the game has yet to continue but I would definitely check it out if it has.
Dec. 1, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Great game! Completed it with both endings. The "back to beginning" button was a big help in order to get the missing gems and memories. There are still some parts of the background story I don't understand.
Jul. 11, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Hey Mr. Dev, why can we use "S" to open our stats screen, but not to close it again? It would be just *that* much more convenient than having to go and hit escape! <3
Jul. 27, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Secret Fun Fact (Easter Egg) locations (that I know of): 1. Modus operandi (place where you got the double jump) - after you unlock the gate by the entrance, jump down and jump on the white upside-down diamond structure. I triggered this one just by jumping on it, but there is also a hidden spot inside this structure. 2. Kuriirit (first mountain area) - run all the way up the mountain, jumping over two entrances. You should disappear inside the summit. 3. Skim the sky (second mountain area, behind three crystals gate) - jump past the yellow energy field and jump on the little floating mountain fragment, from right side. Like before, you should disappear inside it. 4. Human dreams (where the ship crashed) - after defeating the floating ball boss, go up the green energy field on the right side of this room. Go through the wall on the right, where there are no spikes. Going all the way to the right lets you meet a bizarre character... Enjoy!
May. 8, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) YES! Now these are the type of games I look for on Kongregate!! I'm loving this game so far. So many amazing games... I wish I had time to complete them all.. The graphics are amazing, something I wish to do in the future (retro style). The gameplay is reminiscent of a great NES game, I simply feel that nostalgia while playing it. I'm loving the story and the way its presented to the player. I'm loving the feeling of isolation, but curiosity while playing. My rating gradually increased as I continually played. 5 out of 5. I hope to collaborate and/or work with you in the future in some way.
Aug. 8, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) This game manages to actually get that retro feel unlike 98% of all these faux-retro games in that it isn't just plain blocky graphics and the music isn't chiptunes trying to pass as "old" music. It reminds me of SNES or Genesis. Good job.
Apr. 7, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) This game has an intense storyline, and that what I enjoyed most. In the good ending, you give the Ancestors a safe planet, but in doing so, you trap youself on Kalevala. In the bad ending, you help the Courier get its revenge, but in doing so, give it complete control, and you have no say over what you can do. It's a electrifying experience, and I didn't regret a thing about it. What should you do? It gives you the freedom of choice. It can be puzzling, yet be fun all the while. Its perfect. All I want now is the extra area that it says, "Coming soon!" I feel like I can't wait. ChainedLupine...I have no more words. You have brought me the best present ever. But take your time in adding in th extra area.
Jan. 29, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) This is a fantastic game. I love platformers and such, and this game just blew me away. The graphics are perfect, and the music really enhances the game. An excellent story. Thank you so much for creating this, and I look forward with great anticipation to the next installment.

Second-placed Fenerbache let slip a half-time lead as they were held 1-1 by third-placed Trabzonspor today. Fener went ahead four minutes before the break through Cristian Baroni's goal, but they were pegged back by a 73rd-minute equaliser from Burak Yilmaz.
The result leaves Fener nine points behind leaders Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Lig standings, with Trabzonspor a further ten back.
At the other end of the table, Samsunspor continued their brave bid to avoid the drop with an impressive 1-0 win at fourth-placed Besiktas. Murat Yildirim netted the only goal of the game 20 minutes from time as Samsunspor claimed their fifth win in eight matches to move to within three points of Antalyaspor and safety with one game to go.
Antalyaspor's own quest to avoid relegation suffered a hit as they lost 3-1 at home to Bursaspor. Bursaspor's goals came from Sebastian Pinto (34), Pablo Batalla (44) and Ibrahim Bangura (90), with Antalyaspor's response coming through Tita (78).

Budget impact analysis of a pneumococcal vaccination programme in the 65-year-old Spanish cohort using a dynamic model
1 Universidad de la Rioja, Logroño, La Rioja, Spain
2 Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Alcorcón, Madrid, Spain
3 Pfizer Spain, Alcobendas, , Madrid, Spain
BMC Infectious Diseases 2013, 13:175 doi:10.1186/1471-2334-13-175Published: 11 April 2013
This study aimed to assess the costs and clinical benefits of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) administered annually to the 65-year-old cohort in Spain versus the alternative of not vaccinating patients and treating them only when infected.
Cases of pneumococcal disease avoided were calculated through a dynamic model based on the work of Anderson and May (1999). Sixty-six percent of the 65-year-old cohort was assumed to have been vaccinated with one PCV13 dose (304,492 subjects). Base-case estimated vaccine effectiveness and serotype coverage were 58% and 60%, respectively. Disease-related costs were calculated based on published data.
Over the 5-year period, a total of 125,906 cases of pneumococcal disease would be avoided. Net savings of €102 million would be obtained. The cost-saving distribution was not homogeneous, starting in the 2nd year and increasing through the 5th. To demonstrate model robustness, an additional scenario analysis was performed using extreme values of model parameters (vaccination programme coverage, vaccine effectiveness, discount rate and disease costs). Under those scenarios, net savings were always achieved.
Based on the assumptions of the model, the 65-year-cohort pneumococcal vaccination campaign appears to be a cost-saving intervention in the Spanish population under different scenarios.

Metagenes (Greek: Μεταγένης) was a man in ancient Crete, son of the Cretan architect Chersiphron, and was also an architect.
He was co-architect, along with his father, of the construction of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.[1]

"Great relaxing holiday"
We stayed for 2 weeks in this lovely apartment, the location by the pool was amazing, we could stroll out of the doors and have a quick dip in the pool. We also had a choice of 3 pools in the complex. The on site bar was nice and friendly and cheap. The local restaurants were good quality and reasonabley priced. Definatley be going again!
Thank you for the great review, I am glad you enjoyed the stay, hope you come back soon.

Final Score: Philadelphia 5, Pittsburgh 4
Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Peter Forsberg scored two goals, including the equalizer late in the third period, and added an assist to lead the Philadelphia Flyers past the Pittsburgh Penguins, 5-4, at Mellon Arena.
Simon Gagne and Dennis Seidenberg both tallied a goal and an assist and Antero Niittymaki made 22 saves for the Flyers, who have won two straight games and three of their last four. Mike Knuble added his 19th goal of the season -- the game-winner with 3:24 left to play -- for Philadelphia.
Sidney Crosby had two goals and an assist and Erik Christensen tallied a goal and a helper for Pittsburgh, which has lost five straight and 11 of its last 12 games. Tomas Surovy added a goal and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 27 shots for the Penguins.
Trailing 3-2 entering the third period, Crosby netted the game-tying and go- ahead goals 44 seconds apart early in the frame to give the Pens a 4-3 lead.
First, Crosby took a pass from Zigmund Palffy and beat Niittymaki 1:43 into the period for his 15th tally of the season. He gave the Pens their first lead of the game after he beat Niittymaki glove-side with a backhand from inside the right circle.
"We made a couple of mistakes," Crosby said. "I think we were carrying the play very much the last two periods, made it really tough on them. If you give guys clear shots like that, anything can happen. Unfortunately for us, the puck went in."
Undaunted, Philadelphia netted the equalizer with 4:33 left after Forsberg beat Fleury with a slap shot from the right circle to make it 4-4.
The Flyers regained the lead less than a minute later after Knuble beat Fleury with a slap shot from the right side.
"We're learning lessons everyday," Knuble said. "A two-game trend going with building big leads and then letting them slide away. It's just timely that we've been able to step up to the plate when we are down in the last period."
The Penguins pulled Fleury with under a minute left in the game, but could not get one past Niittymaki.
The Flyers drew first blood 5:34 into the first period after Gagne beat Fleury with a slap shot from the slot while on the power play.
Less than six minutes later, Philadelphia extended its lead after Forsberg deflected a shot from the left point while on his knees in front over the shoulder of Fleury to make it 2-0.
The Flyers upped their lead to 3-0 with 3:42 elapsed in the second period while on the power play, as Seidenberg blasted a one-timer from the high slot past Fleury.
Pittsburgh began to chip away at the Flyers' advantage after Surovy stuffed a pass from behind Philadelphia's net past Niittymaki to make it 3-1.
The Penguins pulled within one with 4:02 left in the second period when Christensen beat Niittymaki top-shelf with a wrist shot from the right circle.
Game Notes
The Penguins are still searching for their first win under new coach Michel Therrien, going 0-3 since the team relieved Eddie Olczyk of his duties on December 15th...The Penguins will continue to be without owner-captain Mario Lemieux, who missed Saturday's game with a recurrence of an irregular heartbeat. Lemieux played Friday after sitting out four games with the same problem, but his pulse began racing during the overtime loss. He will be out of the lineup indefinitely and won't practice for at least 10 days as doctors adjust his medication...Knuble extended his goal-scoring streak to five games...The Flyers opened an 11-game road trip, the longest in franchise history...Philly is 5-0-2 (two ties) in its last seven trips to the Steel City.

The state of Minnesota has been pretty cold of late for mid-April with a recorded high of 38 this past weekend in Minneapolis, but for Vikings' wide receiver Jerome Simpson, it got a whole lot "colder" on Sunday. Simpson discovered that some of his property had been stolen off his front porch early Sunday, including two pairs of custom Jordan brand shoes and, most intriguingly, a 600 Teavana tea set, leading the receiver to decry his neighbors he once thought were trustworthy. The unfortunate turn of events led to a rather amusing Twitter rant.

What do Greece, Romania, and Venezuela have in common?
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating is associate editor at Foreign Policy and the editor of the Passport blog. He has worked as a researcher, editorial assistant, and deputy Web editor since joining the FP staff in 2007. In addition to being featured in Foreign Policy, his writing has been published by the Washington Post, Newsweek International, Radio Prague, the Center for Defense Information, and Romania's Adevarul newspaper. He has appeared as a commentator on CNN International, C-Span, ABC News, Al Jazeera, NPR, BBC radio, and others. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he studied comparative politics at Oberlin College.
Those are the three unfortunate major economies projected to see negative GDP growth in 2010-2011, according to the IMF's new World Economic Outlook. (The small Carribean nations of Antigua & Barbuda and St. Kitts & Nevis are also in the red.) Greece, at -3.3 percent, has by far the most dramatic contraction of the bunch.
The outlook is most grim for Western Europe, much of which will see between 0 and 2 percent growth. Politically unstable Kyrgyzstan seems to be the only Asian country with less than 2 percent growth while similarly unstable Madagascar is Africa's outlier.

A month or so back, I was in Vancouver BC for a press showing, and on my return home I wanted to visit some cousins who live on Whidbey Island, north of Seattle. My plan was to rent a car, but a one-way car from Canada to the United States is a nonstarter. For Whidbey Island, the best place to rent a car would be at the Bellingham Airport, about 22 miles south of the international border. And although I had my usual anti-bus mind set, the obvious way to get from Vancouver to the Bellingham airport was a bus. I found lots of bus trips, mainly serving the thousands of Vancouverites who flock to Bellingham for access to cheap flights to Hawaii, Las Vegas, and other tourist destinations on Allegiant, Alaska, and Frontier. And my successful--and uneventful--bus trip reminded me that bus travel is experiencing something of a renaissance in the U.S. and Canada.
Greyhound (greyhound.com), with its subsidiaries, remains the top dog in the US. It operates a handful of different service models, including:
-- Regular Greyhound is the conventional, old-line unit, operating on major highways around the country. Compared with 10 years ago, today's Greyhound is a bit more streamlined; it has eliminated a lot of small-traffic stops in the interests of increased speed. The equipment is standard: tight two-by-two seating with minimal legroom.
-- Greyhound Express operates minimum-stop one-day routes from a handful of major U.S. cities. Speeds are better than regular Greyhound, plus the service features reserved seating, restrooms, onboard Wi-Fi, power outlets, and what Greyhound calls "extra" legroom.
-- Subsidiary Bolt Bus operates economy services in limited areas of the Northeast and West.
Trailways (trailways.com) is an umbrella organization covering more than 70 individual operating companies in 27 states. It provides conventional bus service, similar to Greyhound's, mainly on routes Greyhound does not serve.
Megabus, like Greyhound, operates one-day limited stop service radiating from hubs in the East, Midwest, California, and eastern Canada to dozens of cities within 400 miles. Hyped promotional fares start at $5, but even last-minute prices are low. Megabus operates both double-decker and more conventional buses; both provide onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets and reserved seating.
East Coast Corridor. A handful of smaller bus lines operate in the busy Boston-New York-Washington corridor, ranging from the minimal-service lines catering to ethnic markets to the Boston-New York LimoLiner featuring one-by-two seating, extra legroom, Wi-Fi, power outlets, entertainment and restrooms.
Fares. Bus fares, for the most part, are less than airfares or Amtrak. Greyhound and Megabus use capacity-control pricing, with the first few seats starting at very low prices, when I checked for mid-September: $17 for Sacramento-Bakersfield on Greyhound Express ($45 on Amtrak), $5 for Chicago-Minneapolis on Megabus ($66 on Amtrak), and in the Northeast corridor, Boston-New York is $12 on Bolt bus, $79 on LimoLiner ($49 on Amtrak regional, $128 on Acela Express). Greyhound's best fares are "web only," advance purchase, and nonrefundable.
Gaps. Bus lines do not fully duplicate the railroads' former blanket coverage of local routes during the pre-jet, pre-interstate days. As an example, despite heavy automobile traffic and a handful of daily flights at very high fares, no bus line operates directly between San Francisco and either Medford or Eugene, Oregon. With the requisite changes, buses take about twice as long on those routes as driving. Nevertheless, buses fill an important component of the intercity transportation system. And the new express buses are reasonably fast, reasonably comfortable and reasonably priced.

Easel Construction
I am going to be copying this design http://www.aswexpress.com/art-supply.../0047045000000.
What wood should I choose? They built it out of oak which seems to be pretty standard choice amongst easel manufacturers. I would like to keep the wood costs under $100.
Also, in its write up, it says that it tilts forward 60*, which is a ton, and based of of my guesstimated calculations, would be impossible given the apparent lengths of the pieces. I want to make a permanent stop for the forward tilt extreme so I don't topple my easel, but do not know how many degrees I should allow for? Originally I thought it would only be up to 10* of forward tilt (still more than thought I would use), but now I am unsure.
Thanks for the help

Ford Posts Record 1H Sales in China - Analyst Blog
Ford Motor Co.
) has posted record sales of 549,256 vehicles in China in the first
half of 2014. This translates into a 35% surge from 407,474
vehicles sold in the first half of 2013. The automaker's passenger
car joint venture - Changan Ford Automobile (CAF) - also witnessed
a 39% increase in wholesale vehicle sales in the first half of 2014
to 397,958 units as against 286,433 units sold in the same period a
year ago.
The year-over-year increase in sales was driven by strong demand for Ford Focus, Ford Kuga, Ford Mondeo and Ford EcoSport. Sales were also buoyed by favorable impacts from Ford's strategic expansion in China capacity extension and recruitment of competent employees, thereby creating a line of high quality, safe, fuel efficient and high-tech products.
Ford's June sales in China increased 17% to 87,783 vehicles from 75,166 in the year-ago month. Meanwhile, CAF witnessed a 23% increase in wholesale vehicle sales in the month to 67,187 units, compared with 54,774 units in Jun 2013.
Ford Focus, which supported the improvement in CAF sales, recorded a 9% year-over-year increase in sales to 201,464 units in the first half of 2014. Also, Ford Focus sales in June improved 7% year over year to 33,614 units.
Apart from Focus, Ford Mondeo also witnessed significant demand in the country in the first half of this year. Mondeo passenger cars offer sophistication and advanced technologies, raking in sales of 59,726 units in the first half of 2014, manifesting an astounding rise of 124%. In addition, Mondeo sales rose a significant 168% to 10,044 vehicles in Jun 2014.
Ford also recorded better sales under its class-leading Ford Kuga and Ford EcoSport SUVs.
