Borrowed clips always missing!
Yep, me again!
This has happened before but I've let it go, this time I can't.
I have almost finished a music video tribute to all the colleagues I worked with and 99% of the clips I imported directly from cassette/camera, however I also took about 6 clips from a previous project on a HD by dragging them onto the desktop, quitting movie, ejecting HD, re-loading movie on my current project then dragging them into the clips pane and integrating them where desired.
This works fine until I quit for lunch and re-open later. As the project loads I get the usual box asking me if I want to view trash but before that I get a box telling me that
The file ****_1 couldnt be opened and is being skipped. Click Ignore All to skip any remaining missing file messages.
Then the same to any other clips I imported from elsewhere. Have tried it again and reloading etc... Strangely enough I see a glimpse of the clips I wanted as it keeps the transition tabs!
Does this sound familiar and is there a solution?
Where are ya Pulse old buddy?!! :)
Is the missing project file or files the ones that came from the ext HD?
Once you added these 6 other clips, did you preview them once integrated into your project?
PS. I've been watching a movie I taped using my EyeTV device ... it's a Arnie classic ...
Yes, yes and what's eye TV?
EyeTV is digital terrestrial tv. It's a USB stick that receives the free to air tv here is Aust.
Carnivology-Binhead is fantastic! Love it to bits. Great visually and musically!
So you added the clips and they played in iMovie without hitch. Then you saved the project and when you returned to it ... the "imported 6" were gone? Or still there but unplayable .... What if you drag them back to the section to the right of the viewing pane? Can you upload a screenie?
Sounds interesting, thankyou and yes they played without a hitch, then saved, quitted and re-loaded and the "Imported six" (I like that) were gone but it did tell me that as it was loading that one was missing and unless I clicked 'ignore all' it would say and this clip and all the others were also missing, which they were. Gone from timeline and viewing pane also.
A screenie, Pulse?
I've gotta have dinner but I'll be back!
1 Attachment(s)
OK, have you checked iMovie Trash (Shift + Command + T)?
So, the 'Imported 6' have vanished in a Twighlight Zone fashion ...?
I really don't know what to say about this Cam .... you've done everything in the correct manner and despite this - the clips have vanished. So there's no real point in uploading a screenshot.
It looks like you need to re-import the '6' again, BUT THIS TIME .... when they are sitting in the Clips Pane and you are ready to drag them to the Timeline .... please promise me you'll press the Option key and copy them to the Timeline instead. This way you will always have the originals intact should the same thing happen again. See my attached image.
The duplicate clips are still on the desktop, here's a screenshot (don't know how to thumbnail it, it's a miracle I've managed a screenshot) but notice the highlighted transition tab showing up on the main screen.
I re-loaded two of the clips, pressed the 'Option' key next to the Apple key but nothing happened. Didn't see any option option in the drop downs.
When you press the Option key while dragging a clip you copy it. So it stays in the Clips Pane and appears on the Timeline.
Where you have more than one Transition in a row, is that where clips have dissappeared? I'm not sure what the significance of the highlighted Transition is.
I'll try the Option thing again and get back to you.
No, didn't make any difference. Apples are wonderful machines but I think they should think twice before using 'It just works' as a slogan.
I solved the problem short term by simply not quitting until not only had I completed the project, but uploaded it to YouTube and burned a DVD.
It was saved many times and as I predicted, when re-loaded the two borrowed clips are absent and everything is a few seconds out of time with the music.
Do mission accomplished but problem still there - the mystery continues.

Satyam Tours and Travels (STT) is starting regular chopper service to Muktinath Temple in Mustang district from Pokhara from Wednesday.Amrit Adhikari, proprietor of STT, said they were chartering a 24-seater MI17 helicopter from Shree Airlines to operate the service. "We are launching the service targeting pilgrims from Nepal and India," he said, adding: "The service will provide some relief to pilgrims who are facing problems due to lack of sufficient flights on Pokhara-Jomsom route." The chopper will land in a helipad situated about a kilometer below the temple.Adhikari said the service will help pilgrims, especially those from India, who are worried by lack of flights and syndicate imposed by transport entrepreneurs on Beni-Jomsom road. "By using our service, pilgrims can return to Pokhara on the same day after paying homage at the temple," he added.It takes at least three days from Pokhara to reach Muktinath and return to Pokhara through surface transport. Similarly, those flying directly to Jomsom can return to Pokhara next day only.At present, only Tara Air operates scheduled daily flights on Pokhara-Jomsom route. Simrik Airlines is preparing to launch Pokhara-Jomsom flights within few days.
Overcoming seasonality to strengthen the competitiveness of mountain regions also as summer destinations was the topic at the centre of the 8th edition of the World Congress on Snow and Mountain Tourism. International experts identified sustainability, innovation and accessibility as key success factors to address this challenge.The seasonal distribution of tourism activities is highly uneven in most mountain destinations, with the main turnover concentrated in the winter season in contrast with a clear decline of demand during the summer. Overcoming seasonality is key for both a more even spread of the economic benefits of tourism and to reduce environmental pressure on destinations.Opening the Congress, the Prime Minister of Andorra, Mr. Antoni Martí, stressed the direct link between innovative tourism products and economic diversification: "The tourism strategy driven by the Government of Andorra is perfectly in line with the theme of this Congress. Andorra is currently aiming to further diversify our snow and mountain tourism offer with other compatible activities in the areas of wellness and conference tourism, among others."Developing new approaches to mountain tourism is of strategic importance, said UNWTO Secretary-General, Taleb Rifai. "Visitors are increasingly interested in mountains in search of new experiences linked to nature and sports. Combined with the need for mountain destinations to adapt their tourism offer to the impacts of climate change and expand the tourism season, now is the perfect time for destinations and operators to look into new products that will expand and adapt the tourism season while creating sustainable tourism experiences".The next edition of the World Congress on Snow and Mountain Tourism will be held in Sant Julià de Lòria, Andorra, in 2016.
Committed to Human Capital Development (HCD), the 2nd PATAcademy-HCD is being conducted for rising stars in the travel industry who want to broaden their practical experience, engage with leading speakers and learn from their peers.

Mr Martin J Craigs, PATA CEO, noted that the inaugural PATAcademy-HCD in December 2013 was a major success with participants rating the interactive four-day program very highly.He added: "PATA will continue to strengthen PATAcademy-HCD as a part of PATA's human capital development strategy. The aim is to nurture a healthy, prosperous and diverse travel and tourism industry."Participants will gain practical experience during the training. They will be assigned to work in a group on destination projects, crisis cases or events which have impacted tourism in a destination.

Lines were out the door on Saturday and Sunday at the Germantown Soccerplex, with visitors waiting to take part in Dinosauria. The event, brought by Dinosauria Experience based in Rockville, featured an exhibit, dinosaur rides, a gem mining activity, face painting, and moon bounces. The company has taken the traveling show around the country, according to Director of Special Events for the Maryland Soccer Foundation Mihir Patel.
"The first part was an interactive museum where the dinosaurs actually moved and made sounds," said Patel.
"They had huge dinosaurs. The woolly mammoth they brought couldn't fit in the building so we had to leave it outside," said Executive Director of the foundation Trish Heffelfinger.
Patel estimated that at least 3,000 people came on Saturday and over 4,500 on Sunday. With such success, Patel is looking into having the event return for Labor Day weekend.

Level crossing fears voiced by councillor
Posted: November 01, 2012|
A county councillor has voiced her concern over a level crossing where people cross the railway tracks when the barriers are down.
The half-barrier system at Shepreth level crossing physically allows people to walk to the other side, despite the fact that a train could pull into the station in just 20 seconds.
Susan van de Ven, a member of the Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Rail User Group, says young people in particular are ignoring the obvious danger by regularly taking the last-minute risk.
She said: "I recently watched three people walk over the railway while the level crossing barriers were down, signalling the imminent arrival of a train.
"The first two people looked in a hurry to catch their train but the third person was unbelievably casual as he ambled over.
"Very shortly thereafter the train arrived. Its appearance can't be anticipated due to the bend in the track.
"This concern is shared by many Shepreth residents and is one of breathtaking audacity and risk."
Cllr van de Ven believes this is now a matter of urgency and has written to Network Rail to encourage them to address the risks.
She is also calling for education in schools to prevent teenagers from risking their lives on a regular basis.
She said: "When one person sees someone else do it they assume it's ok. We need a proper physical barrier to prevent people from crossing when a train is approaching.
"People must watch the moving wheels of a train and ask if it's a risk worth taking."
Tina Hughes became a level crossing user champion for Network Rail after her daughter, Olivia Bazlinton, was killed at Elsenham level crossing in Essex in 2005 and now suggests advice from a user's perspective.
She said: "The crossing at Shepreth is dangerous, Network Rail have now agreed to carry out a full risk assessment at the crossing to reassess the appropriateness of the existing half-barrier system."
Sam Kelly, media relations manager for London and South East Network Rail, added: "We can't emphasise enough how important it is that people obey warning signs at every level crossing.
"We're doing all we can to make the railway safer by upgrading crossings or closing them if we can, and we will continue to raise awareness."
Network Rail launched Rail Life in September, a new initiative which provides teachers and parents with resources to engage young people with rail safety issues.

Hometown: Arlington, Virginia
High School: Wakefield High School
Intended Major: Spanish / International Management
Why did you choose to attend MC?
There are several reasons why I chose Moravian to be my home for the next four years. But the main reason is the small size of its classes. I don't really like big classes because I feel that it is important to interact with both the teacher and your classmates. And obviously, you can't do that in a huge class.
What activities were you involved with in high school?
I was involved in many clubs, such as Latinos en Accion, Asian Club, Save the Earth Club, and United Minority Girls, for which I had the opportunity to present at the Delaware Valley Minority Student Consortium held at Penn State University. Since I don't like athletics, I decided to do some community service, and I became an elementary school tutor. I was also a member of the National Honor Society.
What clubs, organizations, or athletics do you currently participate in?
I am the secretary of the Spanish Club, and I am a member of the Multicultural and Diversity Club.
What clubs, organizations, or athletics do you hope to participate in?
I would like to join the soccer team and the American Association of University Women.
So far, what is the best thing about college life?
The best thing about college is learning to be responsible. In college, nobody is pushing you to do your homework, attend class, or even do your own laundry. Everything is up to you. You have the choice to succeed or to fail.
What is your favorite spot on campus? Why?
Honestly, I don't a favorite spot on campus. But I like being in my dorm. Since I don't have a roommate, it's the place where I can be by myself and enjoy my solitude.

Trimble handheld computers are ready to serve.
Trimble rugged handheld computers are designed from the ground up to meet tough military standards for durability, reliability and operation in tactical environments.
Trimble handhelds have been deployed into a number of mission-critical DoD applications. From the city streets of downtown Baghdad to the jungles of Central and South America, they have been validated in applications where a laptop computer - with its associated boot time, weight and battery limitations - was not a feasible option. Trimble products' long battery life is also enhanced with hot-swappable batteries so soldiers won't be caught in the field with drained computer equipment.
Trimble supports today's war fighter with a readily available COTS solution that is more easily supported and maintained than expensive military-only solutions.
Offered with a choice of operating systems (Android or Windows), the Juno T41 line of handhelds offers a specific-to-military market configuration. Options include barcode imaging, enhanced 1-2 meter GPS capability, 3G smartphone, and/or UHF RFID.
The Yuma 2 rugged tablet, with Windows 7 Professional, has a unique sunlight readability that will work even in the brightest desert day.
The Trimble Nomad is a long-time workhorse for the military with numerous applications developed specifically for soldiers, including a world-renowned sniper solution.
All of the Trimble handhelds offer a wide variety of connectivity options and work with commercially available software designed for Windows or Android. They are all fully rugged to survive the harsh treatment that military equipment is subject to, and keep going to support the soldier.
Contact us: To learn more about Trimble Partner solutions for your industry, or to discover how easy it is to integrate Trimble outdoor rugged computers to your new or existing custom application, please contact us for further information via the Contact Us form or by phone at 1-541-750-9200.

Forum discusses Ohio's role in alternative energiesWritten by John P. McCartney | | email@example.com
One Ohio Senate and three Ohio House of Representative candidates joined four area business entrepreneurs Sept. 25 to discuss their political positions on solar, wind, biomass, fossil fuel and nuclear energy projects. These projects were offered as solutions to establishing the best clean and alternative energy technologies for the state's economy at the "Ohio Clean Energy Economy Meet the Candidates" forum at the University of Toledo's Scott Park Campus auditorium.
The 90-minute panel discussion addressed how Ohio in general, and the northwest area of the state specifically, would best be served by its elected officials in meeting Senate Bill 221's (SB221) requirements. SB221 says utility companies that do business in Ohio secure 12.5 and 25 percent of all their energy from clean and alternative energy technologies, respectively, by 2025. The remainder of energy in Ohio is derived from coal, oil and natural gas.
The Ohio legislature defines clean energy sources to include solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and hydroelectric energies. Alternative energy sources are defined to also include nuclear power.
And this is the area in which the four candidates in attendance — incumbents Randy Gardner (Republican, Senate District 2) and Matt Szollosi (Democrat, House District 46), and first-time candidates Jeff Bunck (Democrat, House District 47) and Dave Kissinger (Republican, House District 46) — differed most dramatically.
Bunck, who retired from teaching high school social studies after a 35-year career, describes himself as a lifelong environmental activist who strongly supports SB221, clean energy technologies and energy conservation. Bunck was the only candidate to receive applause for his proposals to a room of more than 60 UT students, faculty and staff members and local businessmen.
Gardner, a House representative who touted his role in passing SB221, noted that he holds the same energy positions as presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. He said Ohio, and the nation, must continue to utilize coal and oil as energy sources in addition to solar, wind and other clean energy technologies currently in the research and development stages.
Kissinger, a retired registered nurse with a military career that included monitoring the radiation levels of shipmates at sea for six- to 12-month deployments, is a firm believer in the "absolute" safety of nuclear energy. He is an outspoken advocate for legislating subsidies for Ohio energy companies research and development of nuclear power to meet SB221's requirements.
Szollosi, a House incumbent who represents citizens of Jerusalem Township, Oregon and West Toledo, followed Gardner example in describing how hard he worked to pass SB221. Szollosi also took the opportunity to point out additional work in the Ohio legislature when he congratulated business participants Al Compaan (Xunlight 26 Solar), Praveen Paripati (SuGanit Systems, Inc.), Aaron Valentine (Emersol) and Keith Walters (One Energy, LLC) for taking advantage of some of the legislation he said he was instrumental in passing in past years.
Support for subsidies
All four candidates said they would support subsidies for the development of offshore wind energy projects on Lake Erie with one qualification. Bunck said his support was contingent upon a guarantee that Lake Erie's "many other uses, including recreational fishing and boating, would not be ignored or lessened because of its use for wind energy R&D."
Subsidies to the coal industry, fracking operations and the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in Oak Harbor did not receive the same kind of support wind energy enjoyed.
Gardner said he would demand the legislature keep coal and oil in the debate when the Senate "scrutinizes all government involvement in the subsidizing of businesses." Szollosi's biggest concern was not eliminating coal from the discussion because, he said, "We're in a period of transition, and there are a lot of people in Ohio whose livelihood is tied to coal production, including the producers themselves and construction workers as two examples."
Bunck jumped on Szollosi's use of the word "transition" to discuss the U.S.'s need to transition from coal to "clean, natural energy," a discussion of climate change and "our obligation to protect the future of our grandchildren."
Kissinger told stories about his experiences as an RN in the armed services to tell the audience that the "health care of pollution is near and dear to my heart and I will do everything to ensure the ongoing reduction in pollution" as a legislator.
The discussion of Republican Gov. John Kasich's interest in fracking did not follow party lines. Szollosi, a Democrat, agreed with Gardner that the jobs the natural gas industry has created with fracking have boosted Ohio's economy and "had a significantly positive effect on the economies of northern and eastern Ohio, especially the Appalachian area."
It was at this point the audience applauded Bunck's rebuttal to Szollosi when he condemned companies' drilling practices. Bunck said that as long as a drilling company "declares what they use is a trade secret, they don't have to report what chemicals they put into the ground when they frack. They can legally throw the records away after two years, and we will never be able to hold them financially responsible if the people who live in the region develop health problems."
Bunck said that, as a legislator, he would demand the government require more transparency in the fracking procedure and that "trade secrets have to go."
The discussion of Davis-Besse gave Bunck an opportunity to question the legislature's wisdom in subsidizing nuclear power R&D when the cost of energy is about $114 per nuclear megawatt and only $50 per wind megawatt.
Bunck said any subsidizing of nuclear energy should explore the safety issue, citing the near catastrophe at Three Mile Island as a warning to what could happen in Oak Harbor.
Szollosi, his fellow Democrat, disagreed, saying that since the nuclear industry "is very heavily regulated and there is full and complete transparency in everything they do, I have confidence that this facility is being very closely monitored."
Gardner said he would support keeping nuclear power a part of the state's energy program because "it seems to have bipartisan support in both the Senate and the House."
Kissinger again told stories of his experiences as an RN in the service as a way of leading into his position of being "very pro-nuclear power. It is a great source of energy, and I would support any legislation that would foster the growth of nuclear energy."

- This article pertains to the video game. For an overview of the series in general, see Banjo-Kazooie series.
Banjo-Kazooie is a 3D platforming adventure game for the Nintendo 64. The game is the first in the Banjo-Kazooie series. It was first released on June 29, 1998 in North America, July 17, 1998 in Europe, July 25, 1998 in Australia and December 6, 1998 in Japan. A port of the game was also released on the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade on December 3, 2008. For more information on the Xbox Live Arcade version, see Banjo-Kazooie (XBLA).
The game stars Banjo the bear and Kazooie the red-crested breegull, who have set out to save Banjo's sister Tooty from the clutches of Gruntilda. Gruntilda - a vain, repulsive and devious witch who is entirely unhappy with her appearance - has devised a cunning and subtle plan to rob and harness Tooty's beauty for herself. Aided by Bottles the mole, and Mumbo Jumbo the shaman, Banjo and Kazooie probe the depths of Gruntilda's trap-filled lair to try and win Tooty back.
The gameplay in Banjo-Kazooie is similar to that of Nintendo's Super Mario 64. Most of the game revolves around exploring the hub world (Gruntilda's Lair). within it, there are puzzles pieces, which open portals to different worlds which, upon acquiring certain items in them, allow you to go higher in the Lair. Banjo and Kazooie can perform various teamwork moves to accomplish their goals; these moves are taught to them by Bottles, the short-sighted mole. Each of the worlds contains the following:
- Jiggies - These golden puzzle pieces complete the unfinished pictures throughout the lair. Each completed picture unlocks a new world. The pictures require progressively more Jiggies as the player advances. There are 10 Jiggies on each world.
- Musical Notes - There are 100 of these on each world. Collecting them adds to a best score (which don't exceed 100) and that record is saved and added to a total, which can open note doors allowing access to new areas. However, if you die or leave the world, all notes are reset to their original positions.
- Jinjos - Jinjos are small, colourful creatures held captive in the worlds throughout Grunty's Lair. Rescue all 5 of them in each world to obtain a Jiggy. However, similar to the Musical notes, they reset if a life is lost or if the world is exited.
- Witch Switch - A button with Gruntilda Winkybunion's face on. Slamming it makes a Jiggy appear somewhere in Gruntilda's Lair. There is one hidden in each world.
- Bottles' Molehill - Bottles teaches the duo a variety of new moves to help them progress through the game. However, he does not appear after Gobi's Valley. The amount of molehills in each world varies. For a list of the moves and how to use them, see Banjo-Kazooie moves.
- Mumbo Tokens - Collecting these skull shaped items allows you to be transformed by Mumbo in his hut.
Within the hub world there are:
- Picture Puzzles - An incomplete picture of a locked world. Upon putting Jiggies into the picture, you unlock the world which is portrayed.
- Note Doors - These doors don't allow you to go further into the Lair unless your overall note record reaches the same number.
The game's main characters include the following:
- Banjo - The game's hero - a goofy male honey bear, who is always seen wearing his tight, yellow shorts, blue backpack and shark-tooth necklace.
- Kazooie - A fiery-tempered and hilariously sarcastic female red-crested breegull, who is (in this game) inseparable from Banjo, who carries her around in his backpack.
- Tooty - Banjo's cheerful, energetic sister, who has been kidnapped by Gruntilda.
- Bottles - A short-sighted mole who teaches Banjo and Kazooie various moves to help them on their quest.
- Mumbo Jumbo - A mysterious shaman who aids Banjo and Kazooie by transforming them into various animals and objects.
- Gruntilda - The villain of the game, Gruntilda has kidnapped Tooty. She's really not a very nice piece of work. She is notoriously vain, vindictive and has a penchant for rhyming.
- Brentilda - Gruntilda's fairy-Godmother-like sister. Unlike Grunty, she's kind-hearted and will do everything in her power to help Banjo and Kazooie.
- Klungo - Gruntilda's main henchman, who designed the Beauty Stealing Machine for her. His interests include inventing, videogame-design, and lisping.
For a full list of characters, including minor ones, see Banjo-Kazooie characters.
- Spiral Mountain is the place you start out in and where Banjo's house is located. It's not a world like the others as it doesn't have any Jiggies to collect. It is more of a training area, as you learn all the basic moves here.
- Gruntilda's Lair is the game's hub world, from which all the normal worlds can be accessed. Gruntilda's Lair features 10 Jiggies which can only be accessed by pressing switches within the game's worlds.
- Mumbo's Mountain is the first world in the game and is located on a big hill. At the bottom is a small pool of water and a tree that the gorilla (Conga) owns. At the top of the tree you will find Mumbo Jumbo, who turns Banjo into a termite. This is considered by many to be the easiest world in the game as it's getting players used to the game.
- Treasure Trove Cove is a beach with a huge rocky arch overhead. In Treasure Trove Cove is the sandcastle where codes are entered. A shark, "Snacker", swims in the waters there. He appears when you jump into the water, and tries to eat you. Treasure Trove Cove introduces many new enemies, such as the crabs (Snippets), and the bouncing clams (Yum-Yums), who steal your items.
- Clanker's Cavern is a small world inside a sewer which is home to the eponymous mechanical whale, Clanker. Much of the action takes place within Clanker himself. This world represents a sudden increase in difficulty - along with Rusty Bucket Bay, it is considered one of the game's most brutal.
- Bubblegloop Swamp is a swamp whose waters are frustratingly filled with obnoxious and hungry piranhas. Its trademark enemy is the Flibbit and its two most impressive landmarks are the enormous stone crocodile home to Mr. Vile and the enormous real turtle home to Tiptup and his choir. Here Banjo becomes a crocodile.
- Freezeezy Peak is a snow-covered mountain whose central landmark is a gigantic snowman, whose top hat represents the highest point of the world. A central character of this world is Boggy, who races our heroes twice - once under normal circumstances, once in their guise as the walrus.
- Gobi's Valley is a blistering desert home to animated mummies and mummified hands. The desert has an Egyptian feel: it is notable for Jinxy, the sphinx who dominates the world, as well as the numerous pyramids. Gobi, the world's eponym, is a put-upon camel who appears several times not only in this game, but also in Banjo-Tooie.
- Mad Monster Mansion is a haunted house, apparently belonging to Gruntilda. Ghosts, skeletons and bats live here. Mumbo also takes residence here, turning Banjo into a pumpkin. Notably, the pumpkin form can also be accessed outside the world - Mumbo also lives in a small chapel just outside the world.
- Rusty Bucket Bay is a sea-themed world focused around a large ship. The water in Rusty Bucket Bay is contaminated and brings down Banjo's air supply twice as fast as is normally done. RBB is considered by many to be the toughest world in the game. The world is notable for its Engine Room, a pure platforming segment in which the player must negotiate the whirling engine parts.
- Click Clock Wood is basically a field with a gigantic tree. The world can be played during each of the four seasons, with different missions and baddies. Gobi is seen once again here in this world, as well as the Zubbas and Eyrie, who eats caterpillars and grows through the course of the year. Banjo turns into a bee. It's one of the game's largest worlds.
Stop 'n' Swop
- Main article: Stop 'n' Swop
Stop 'n' Swop is a scrapped hidden feature intended to be a transfer mode between Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie.
At the end of Banjo-Kazooie, if the player has collected all 100 Jiggies, Mumbo will show off three animated photographs which show Banjo and Kazooie entering previously inaccessible areas in the game and the secret items within. These items were intended to be collected in Banjo-Kazooie, and transferred to Banjo-Tooie by turning off the game and quickly inserting its sequel. It would utilize the Nintendo 64's Rambus RDRAM to have Banjo-Tooie read the leftover memory from Banjo-Kazooie, allowing the player to use the items to unlock things in the game.
Unfortunately, changes were made to the N64 hardware in 1999 that would have made Stop 'n' Swop impossible on later models of the N64, causing the feature to be scrapped during Banjo-Tooie's development.
The items are still able to be collected, however, thanks to in-game codes found by Ice Mario amd SubDrag in 2001. They do not, however, do anything other than sit in the inventory screen, spinning.
In the Xbox Live Arcade port of Banjo-Kazooie, the items unlock secrets in both Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and Banjo-Tooie XBLA.
Stop 'n' Swop Items
The following is a list of the Stop 'n' Swop items and the Sandcastle codes to access them in Banjo-Kazooie. Note that every cheat must be preceded by "CHEAT." Something to note is that during Banjo-Kazooie's 100-Jiggy ending sequence, Mumbo only shows the Pink Secret Egg, Ice Key, and Blue Secret Egg.
- Ice Key: NOW YOU CAN SEE AN ICE KEY WHICH YOU CAN HAVE FOR FREE
- Blue Secret Egg: A DESERT DOOR OPENS WIDE ANCIENT SECRETS WAIT INSIDE
- Pink Secret Egg: OUT OF THE SEA IT RISES TO REVEAL MORE SECRET PRIZES
- Yellow Secret Egg: NOW BANJO WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT ON NABNUTS TABLE
- Green Secret Egg: AMIDST THE HAUNTED GLOOM A SECRET IN THE BATHROOM
- Cyan Secret Egg: DONT YOU GO AND TELL HER ABOUT THE SECRET IN HER CELLAR
- Red Secret Egg: THIS SECRET YOULL BE GRABBIN IN THE CAPTAINS CABIN
Pre-release development:
- Banjo-Kazooie started development as Project Dream - for the SNES, using a similar pre-rendered graphics technique to Donkey Kong Country.
- The SNES version was cancelled, and development for the game continued on the Nintendo 64.
- The game's plot originally involved a boy who had to rescue his girlfriend. As such, the game resembled the Banjo Team's Grabbed by the Ghoulies, which was released years later for the Xbox.
- At one point during the game's development - a rabbit was the main character.
- Later on, once the idea for the bear and bird game play dynamic was decided - the game's plot involved Banjo having to rescue his girlfriend Piccolo (who looked exactly like Tooty) from the clutches of an evil giant. It has pretty much been confirmed that the design of the giant was recycled, and used as Captain Blackeye. Whether or not the giant was a pirate is unknown, however it seems logical that he was, as Rare could have simply reused his exact design by including him in various cameos in Banjo-Kazooie because they had the model already fully completed.
- The game was to include roughly sixteen worlds - levels cut from the game include:
- Fungus Forest, which was partly re-used in Donkey Kong 64 as Fungi Forest
- Mount Fire-Eyes, which was used as the fire half of Hailfire Peaks in Banjo-Tooie
- A fairground, which was later used as Witchyworld in Banjo-Tooie
- A mine, which was later used as Glitter Gulch Mine in Banjo-Tooie[1]
- Mayahem Temple, which also ended up in Banjo-Tooie[1]
- Hammerhead Beach, which is a world that was not actually "cut," but eventually became Treasure Trove Cove in the final version of the game.
- Later, the plot for the game was entirely revised, and the title Banjo-Kazoo given to the game. The plot was roughly the same as it now is, other than Tooty still being Banjo's girlfriend Piccolo.
- Due to legal reasons, Rare had to rename the game Banjo-Kazooie, changing Kazooie's name in the process. For unknown reasons, they also decided to change Piccolo's name to Tooty, and make her Banjo's sister.
Notable differences between the final release and beta versions:
- It is entirely possible that the game connected with Donkey Kong 64 at one point, possibly to swap over the Ice Key (as there is data related to the fabled key within Donkey Kong 64 - for instance as an item on the pause menu).
- Further evidence of the DK64 connection was present due to the fact that there was originally a picture of Donkey Kong in place of the larger Tooty portrait in Banjo's house.
- For a long period of Banjo-Kazooie's development, Mumbo's Mountain had a completely different visual design (but with identical layout). The world had grey, rocky cliffs surrounding it (instead of the brown-shaded ones which were finalised) - and had flowers similar to those found in the game's rendered artwork in it. There was also once a platform sticking out from the mountainside opposite the termite mound - which used to have a Jiggy above it. This was removed, however.
- Mumbo's Mountain also contained strange-looking versions of the Grublins at one point. They resembled Mumbo Jumbo, but yet they had a distinctly different design, in that they were blue, and had a different mask. Bizarrely, these models were never reused, or cameoed - instead, it seems that they were utterly scrapped.
- Mumbo Jumbo's character design went through a number a different phases, too. Originally he was quite scary-looking, with a face more hollowed-out, carved and angular than even the one we now know. Also, his hut went through a number of redesigns - it was originally double the size within it, and the walls had a straw texture - as though they were made from wattle and daub. Up until very near the end of Banjo-Kazooie's development, Mumbo's Skull was grey on the outside, and the feathers were missing from the skull. This design can be seen in most of the promotional screenshots Rare released before the game's release - and on the back of Banjo-Kazooie's box.
- Treasure Trove Cove once had an L-shaped jetty - beside which there were three beehives. The hives had a much bigger design, didn't have the eyes they now so eerily have, and were entirely inanimate. Nipper once had a different speech icon, too.
- The flight pad once had a different design - a blue pad with a white logo on it.
- The warp pads had a more colorful design right up until before the game's release - where they decided to make it look more metallic.
- Mad Monster Mansion once contained a flight pad.
- It is possible that it was at one point planned to be able to fly without the use of a flight-disk pad. This concept was scrapped, however.
- Clanker once had a less metallic design, and was in fact a regular shark.
- The Grille Chompas in Rusty Bucket Bay underwent a redesign at one point.
- Bottles had black glasses once - but they didn't really suit his design, so this was changed.
- It is possible that the engine room of Rusty Bucket Bay once contained oily water, so that you wouldn't fall to your death should you slip. An aquatic version of the music played in the engine room (which, incidentally, is a separate theme to that of the rest of Rusty Bucket Bay) can still be heard via a GameShark or similar manipulation device.
- There are two songs in the game which were never used - those being a song titled in the game's memory as Advent, and a bare version of the music which plays in Banjo-Tooie when Mumbo performs a spell.
- The game also contains multiple versions of the Click Clock Wood theme, which were never used, and many unused sound clips - such as an alternate game over theme, and note door opening theme.

So if I have a file of JavaScript here with multiple statements in it, it doesn't matter if I start putting line breaks in between the lines whether at the start or the end or in the middle. This has no impact on behavior whatsoever. In the same way I've been starting every statement on the first character, but if I decided to put in a few tabs or a few spaces that doesn't matter at all.
The language just doesn't care. It's ignoring the white space and just reading the characters that do occur. It's ignoring the line breaks because we use the semicolon to tell JavaScript where the statement ends. In fact, because we do it this way, if I wanted to, I could actually combine multiple statements onto one line. There is no problem with doing this in JavaScript. It does make our code tougher to read, so I am not going to do this. The general rule is one statement one line, but we could do it that way.
Even inside the statements themselves whitespace is ignored. I could put multiple spaces between the different elements of that statement or on the other hand I could actually get rid of a couple of those spaces. The rule here is don't confuse JavaScript and don't confuse ourselves. While I could have this line, var b=10, squeeze down about this much, I couldn't take it one step further and get rid of this space, because now I am confusing JavaScript. What is varb mean? It needs to be able to figure out where one part ends and the next begins.
So I'll need a space between the var and our variable name b. It's one of the reasons we can't have spaces in our variable names themselves. What I don't need is a space between the variable name here, b, and the equal sign. And that's because JavaScript knows the equal sign is not allowed as part of the variable name so this part must be separate, but best practice there are spaces between the different elements, the different parts of your statement. The only thing that's typical is you don't use a space before the closing semicolon.
Now you could have one. This is perfectly a valid JavaScript, with one space or a dozen before the semicolon. But the way most people write JavaScript and other C-based languages is just to immediately close with the semicolon as soon as you can. It's just the way we finished the line like using the period at the end of a sentence in English. White space more than anything is simply for readability. You start jamming all the elements up against each other, it becomes tough to read. So you use as many spaces as you need to make this clear.
Now there are a few customs that you may run into. Let's say we are using the ++ operator and I am just doing a++ here. I could write this as a ++, but by convention, a simple line like this is just written this way, but that takes us into one more point. There are two places that white space does matter. First, if we are using an operator that has multiple characters like the ++ operator, this is one thing. While I could put a space between the variable name and the ++ and I could put a space between the ++ and the closing semicolon, I cannot put a space in between the two. And that's because as far as JavaScript is concerned, this is not two addition operators.
It is one ++ operator, the increment operator, the ability to add one to a variable. So you can't put a space in the middle of that, same with a --, same with operators like += or -=. You can't put a space in the middle of this just the same way you can't put the space in the middle of var or alert or prompt or a variable name. Now the second place whitespace matters is inside a string. There's a difference between what, space, is, space, your, space, name, and adding a few more spaces to it and that's because we want spaces to matter inside a string.
So when you are creating string literals they will be regarded as significant. Now one question might be what if you want a line break inside a string? Well, for example here I might want to break the line between what is and your name. Now it's an easy thing to think, well, I'll just split that onto another line because after all we're ending the entire statement with the semicolon, so does this work? Well, no, it doesn't. You are not allowed to do it this way. JavaScript will get very confused about what's going on. If you want a line break inside a string, you may have to give JavaScript a clue that this is what we're doing, quite similar to adding the quotes inside a string by using the backslash.
What we use is another backslash to say this is what's called an escape character, there is a special character coming up that means something other than regular text, and then I say \n. Now this looks little weird. It looks like what is \nyour name? But as far as JavaScript is concerned, these two characters here are special. \n means new line, and I am using this string literal in a prompt. So if I save this, let's test this one. I'm going to open up the HTML page that's pointing to this file and as we can see here, the message is now coming out as, What is, line break, your name.
I type in Simon, I click OK, and we get the rather ugly looking message HelloSimon. Well, that's simply because I'm concatenating or combining two strings together here. I've created a variable called message that says Hello and then I'm adding the word Hello and whatever name was typed in and popping that up as an alert box. But really what I want is Hello, space, and then the name. So this would be another reason we would want this space regarded as significant.
So that when we are combining strings together, they don't all jam up against each other. Saving that and trying that one again, we could just reload the page to try it again. We can see that now that space is being taken into account. Now as we start writing more and more code you'll often see a few blank lines. You'll often see lines indented with tabs or spaces. Again, JavaScript doesn't care. It doesn't pay attention to this. Whitespace has no actual meaning, no impact on what this code is going to do, but whitespace can be very useful for making our code more readable and we'll see much more of that soon.

W South Beach Construction is Slow Going
Where: Collins Avenue [map], Miami Beach, fl, United States
November 19, 2007 at 9:20 AM | by juliana | Comment (1)
The W South Beach, November 2007.
Still not much to see here at the W South Beach. We snapped this picture last Thursday. Needless to say, we were disappointed that the construction has been so slow on this property. But with an expected opening date of 2010, this hotel is taking its sweet ole time.

Liz Smith: Oscar Night — Meryl Wins Her "Iron" Gold, But the Winner Is … Ellen DeGeneres?
Our Liz critiques the big night
"SUSAN'S FINALLY won. Thank heaven. Now we can all relax!"
That was producer Walter Wanger back in 1959, expressing the relief of an industry that his star, Susan Hayward, finally took home the Oscar gold on her fifth try for her film "I Want to Live!"
There was probably a similar sentiment on Sunday night, when Meryl Streep ascended the podium at the Hollywood and Highland Center Theater (no longer The Kodak), accepting her statuette for "The Iron Lady." Miss Streep has been famously nominated 17 times, and already has two Academy Awards. But they were given to her way back in the Paleolithic era, when people still used VCRs, cell phones were the size of your head, and nobody could even imagine the Internet or 24-hour cable news stations. Since the, Streep's been nominated endlessly, but always smiled gamely as somebody else won. It became ridiculous, for a variety of reasons. And so Meryl's Maggie Thatcher nabbed her a third award, which she richly deserved.
Perhaps Miss Streep was genuinely surprised. Viola Davis was running neck-and-neck, and Glenn Close, a five-time nomine, is overdue for Oscar dazzle on her own bookshelf. But Meryl certainly dressed like a winner, in glittering, draped gold, determined to be all matchy-matchy with her statuette. (The only other woman in gold I spotted at the ceremony was George Clooney's towering trophy, Stacy Kiebler.)
Anyway, Meryl won. We can relax. And Meryl may have been correct when she joked, "I know I'll never be up here again." (Oh, she'll be there "presenting" but odds are, she won't be nominated again, until maybe she's 75. She is a vibrant 62 at this moment of triumph.)
* * *
AS TO the big wins for "The Artist," time will tell if this charming, virtually unseen film goes down as truly Oscar-worthy. But what the hell does that matter to Harvey Weinstein, who is king of the hill again — he also released "The Iron Lady" in the U.S., and he had a nominee in Michelle Williams. The Drudge Report hailed him with a photo and a headline: "Harveywood!"
I am pleased about Woody Allen's original screenplay win for "Midnight In Paris" (which would have been my best picture choice) … and the one for 82 year-old Christopher Plummer … for the darling Octavia Spencer, who must be a darling. How else to explain her standing ovation? The industry is guilty that talented women of color are still given short shrift? And no matter how anybody spins it, "The Help" was a movie about black people conceived to make white people feel good. Candy-coated civil rights history. Brilliantly acted, but manipulative to the max.
Jean Dujardin, who won Best Actor, seemed truly surprised and moved. And I loved that he was cuddling Uggie the dog at the end!
* * *
THE SHOW? Well, it was competent. It didn't sit there like a lox, exactly. But excitement was hard to come by. Billy Crystal played it safe, and that was fine. (Especially if you happened to catch Seth Rogan's profanity-filled hosting job for the Independent Spirit Awards, held on Saturday in Santa Monica. Crude and stupid.)
I liked the little snippets of various stars — from Julia Roberts to Ed Norton to Barbra Streisand — talking about what movies mean to them, what a great movie is, and why they wanted to make movies. The show could have used more of that. Some of the onstage interplay was amusing — Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr … Emma Stone and Ben Stiller. The evening program moved reasonably well, if not exactly like a locomotive. The glamour quotient was so-so, despite the insistence of some that Jennifer Lopez briefly popped out of her gown. I thought Miss Paltrow's simple white number — which she wore with a cape on the red-carpet — was elegant. As was Penelope Cruz's sea-foam blue number. And Natalie Portman in vintage red Dior, with glittering diamonds at her neck, was a petite, lovely throwback to Audrey Hepburn. With the exception of Miss Lopez's skintight effort, there was no real vulgarity, which is always welcome on Oscar night. (Not that Jennifer looked really vulgar. She did wear her hair in a ladylike, snatched-up chignon. Although it somewhat resembled a breakfast croissant.)
All the major men looked terrific in their tuxes or designer suits — Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, and Tom Cruise, who was a knockout. You'd never know he's fast approaching fifty. Still boyish and still with the smile that slays. (But, a note to all you guys — black tux shirts are horrible and make a deadly impression.)
* * *
TO be totally honest, the most entertaining aspects of the Oscar telecast were Ellen DeGeneres' JCPenney commercials. Hilarious. I especially loved the one where Ellen is back in ancient times. "I want to return this toga," she says to a vendor. Asked when she bought it, Ellen deadpans. "Back around the time the locusts arrived. When was that? When were the locusts?" Forget the awards, I could have had a better time with three hours of Ellen.
* * *
MORE FUN was had on Jimmy Kimmel's show, right after the Oscars. He brought on Oprah Winfrey, straight from the theater, where she had taken a bow for receiving her Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Oscar. Miss Winfrey and Mr. Kimmel get on like a house afire. She was super-relaxed, funny,and said she wanted to do more acting. Then Jimmy showed a comic skit he and Oprah had filmed. It was pretty great. "I used to have standards before I met you!" said Oprah, cheerfully.
Anyway, the awards season ended with a great big bang for my pal Harvey Weinstein. If this Oscarcast seemed a bit muffled to the rest of us — or at least to some of us — we are probably unrealistically nostalgic about past awards shows and movie stars. This is what we've got now, folks. It ain't Joan Crawford and Clark Gable — but it ain't chopped liver, either.
P.S. Oh, and the memorials were stunning and sweet. Especially Miss Elizabeth Taylor's "Cleopatra" wink at the end.

Norm your not lyin, I know I wont be doing any voyages like that, thats for sure.
Maybe one day. Iam happy just to sit on the water, take in the quiet, fresh air...
Please post a pic soon!
Hi OldNavy80,
Hope I can post a couple pictures of our boat, storage trailer with tow vehicle. We have owned it for four season and regret how the price of fuel has affected our interest in continuing boating. Maybe we will use it as a floating cottage and save a few bucks until the election is over and the markets settle down.
Port Clinton, OH
Here is a second picture of the boat last season getting ready for winter storage. I tow it about 4 miles to our cottage were it winters over. Not really a tow vehicle, but we have it balanced well on the trailer and the tongue load is about 500 pounds.

The ALS Association and MDA Urge FDA to Help Speed ALS Drug Development
Yesterday, The ALS Association and the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) submitted joint comments to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) thanking the agency for holding the first ever ALS-specific public hearing on February 25, 2013 and urging them to take action to help expedite the development and approval of new treatments for ALS.
The FDA convened last month's public hearing at the request of The ALS Association and MDA. The hearing was attended by nearly 200 people from across the country representing every segment of the ALS community, including people with ALS, caregivers, physicians, ALS researchers, industry representatives and nearly every major ALS organization in the United States. A webcast of the hearing is available here: http://tinyurl.com/azsnrb6. The comments submitted by The Association and MDA follow-up on the hearing and request the agency respond to several key action items including:
- Develop a plan of action that includes regular communications between the ALS community and the FDA;
- Identify new ways to design ALS clinical trials;
- Establish a benefit-risk framework that recognizes the willingness of people with ALS to accept greater risk in order to access potential treatments; and
- Utilize biomarkers to help speed clinical trials.
The ALS Association is proud to partner with the MDA on these critical issues as both organizations work to find new treatments for ALS as soon as possible. The Association also thanks the hundreds of people with ALS and family members who have submitted comments to the FDA and who participated in the February 25 hearing.

Alleged W.H. Shooter Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez Charged With Attempt To Assassinate Obama
Source: The Washington Post
PITTSBURGH — An Idaho man accused of firing two shots at the White House last week has been charged with attempting to assassinate President Barack Obama or his staff.
Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, made his first court appearance before a federal magistrate in Pittsburgh on Thursday, one day after he was arrested at a western Pennsylvania hotel. He will be taken back from a federal court in Pittsburgh to face the charges in Washington, D.C.
Ortega will remain in federal custody at least until a magistrate in Washington can determine if he should remain jailed until his trial on the charge, which carries up to life in prison.
Ortega sat quietly as the hearing began, his hands free but his feet shackled. The 21-year-old said only, "Yes, ma'am" when he was asked if he understood that he would be going back to Washington to face the charge.

Sophomore goalkeeper Katie Markesbery
Oct. 18, 2012
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Xavier Women Fall To Duquesne In Overtime
Duquesne's Lauren Ott handed the Xavier women's soccer team a heartbreaking 1-0 loss in overtime as she chipped in a loose ball in the 99th minute. With the loss, the Musketeers fell to 7-10-0 overall and 3-5-0 in the Atlantic 10. The Dukes improved to 8-7-1 overall and 5-2-0 in the A-10.
Match Notes | Watch Live | Live Stats
CINCINNATI - Heading into the home-stretch of the season, the Xavier women's soccer team has finally returned to its home field to play out the rest of its regular season games. On Friday, Oct. 19, the Musketeers will play host to Duquesne in the first of four straight matches at XU Soccer Complex. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. for the Atlantic 10 Conference match-up. The team will be wearing pink jerseys to bring awareness to breast cancer research.
About the Musketeers
Xavier (6-8-1, 1-3-0 A-10) dropped a 3-0 decision at Dayton last weekend in its only match of the week. The Musketeers held the Flyers to only one score through 81 minutes before giving up two quick goals near the end. XU is led offensively by junior Mariah Whitaker with nine points and a team-high tying 20 shots on the year. Three other Musketeers have contributed two goals on the season for XU. Sophomore keeper Katie Markesbery leads the league and ranks seventh in the nation with 104 saves this year. She has posted four shutouts in 2012 and holds a 1.65 goals against average.
Scouting Duquesne
Duquesne (5-8-2, 1-3-1 A-10) has been at home for its last three games, most recently claiming a 3-2 win over St. Bonaventure on Oct. 12. The Dukes' Morgan Herbert leads the team with 13 points while Paige Maroney is the squad's shots leader with 50 (t-8th A-10). Devon Tabata has started 11 times in goal for the Dukes, including in their 3-2 win against SBU last week. Tabata has tallied 70 saves on the season and holds a 1.39 GAA.
Last Time Out
In its only game of the week, Xavier dropped a 3-0 decision at Dayton on Oct. 13 at UD's Baujan Field. Sophomore keeper Katie Markesbery recorded a season-high 14 saves in the match as the Musketeers held the Flyers to a slim 1-0 margin until the 81st minute of the contest. Four Musketeers recorded shots on the night, including junior Mariah Whitaker who tallied the only shot on goal for Xavier.
