It seems like once a year or so, I post about 'The Simpsons: Tapped Out,' also known as my favorite mobile time-waster. Other games come and go, but I've been playing this one for nearly four years now. While the Simpsons is what draws you into this freemium game, it's the way Electronic Arts has continually released themed content and new levels that keeps it interesting. The latest update is a doozy, with superheroes like Homer's Pieman battling the likes of Krusty's Clownface and his rainbow-wigged henchmen, complete with comic book-styled intros and narration.

In recent months, I've reviewed several ZAGG keyboard cases for Apple iPads. The ZAGG Folio was the keyboard case that finally convinced me my iPad Mini could actually be useful as a productivity tool. The Rugged Book let me turn an iPad Air into a kids' laptop, perfect for school and with toughness to survive being carted around in a bag and suffering the occasional collision with a wall or piece of furniture. ZAGG sent me their latest iteration, the Slim Book, and I have to say, this is the best one yet. A keyboard case that combines the best elements of the Folio and the Rugged Book, and an aluminum finish that transforms an iPad Mini into a miniature — but functional — iPad Air clone.

It's that time of year when holiday gift lists are being checked, and there's a good chance a tablet is on many of those. Once again Google is offering a Nexus tablet, which means pure Android with no third party UI nonsense to get in the way. But while the Nexus 7 was a real bargain last year at $199, it's been replaced by the larger Nexus 9 and the price has jumped to $399. Is the newest Nexus tablet a worthy choice for Android fans? Will its unusual 8.9-inch display size make it a good choice for kids? HTC — the company that manufactures the Nexus 9 — sent me one to try out. Continue reading
I've grown rather fond of ZAGG's keyboard cases for the iPad in recent months. It wasn't until I reviewed the ZAGG Folio Keyboard case for the iPad Mini earlier this year that I finally reached the state where I felt productive writing on an iPad. Since then, the combo has largely replaced the 11-inch MacBook Air that I used to lug around for mobile work. ZAGG recently sent me a new model to try out with a MacBook Air and this one offers all the benefits of the Folio Keyboard case, plus impressive armor. The Rugged Book transforms an iPad into a hardened notebook while offering flexibility in configuration options. Continue reading

I've gone on record multiple times about how I feel about using the iPad for productivity. I'm a big iPad fan and the tablets I usually use day to day are Apple products, but the lack of mouse support drives me crazy. I've always quickly given up on any experiments with using a Bluetooth keyboard and an iPad in place of my laptop, much as I like the idea of my iPad becoming an ultra-compact travel productivity companion. ZAGG sent me a Folio keyboard case for my iPad Mini with Retina Display, so I thought I'd give the experiment one more shot. I ended up really liking this device. With the right apps, it could actually stand in for my MacBook Air, at least for short bursts of work. In fact, I wrote this post on the ZAGG. Continue reading

There are self-timer apps available for these siutations, but I think HISY has come up with a much more useful solution: the HISY Bluetooth Camera Remote for iPhone. Continue reading

UK judge says Samsung tablet not 'cool' enough to be mistaken for iPadA U.K. judge has found that the Samsung Galaxy Tab doesn't infringe on Apple's design patents, and added that it isn't "cool" enough to be confused with the design of the iPad.
Judge Colin Birss ruled on Monday in London that consumers weren't likely to confuse the Galaxy Tab and iPad, according to Bloomberg. As a result, Samsung was found to not be infringing on Apple's patents.
"(Samsung's tablets) do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design," Birss said in his ruling. "They are not as cool."
The judge found that Samsung's products were distinctive from Apple, as they are thinner and have "unusual details" on the back. The ruling is different from a decision in the U.S. last month, where Apple won a temporary injunction barring sales of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1.
U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh found that Samsung did in fact infringe on Apple's design patents. She ruled that Samsung "does not have a right to compete unfairly by flooding the market with infringing products."
While Apple didn't find the same success in the U.K., the iPad maker does have 21 days to appeal the decision issued on Monday by Judge Birss.
Previously, Apple has successfully argued for temporary injunctions in Australia and Germany. Samsung dodged the German injunction by releasing a slightly-redesigned Galaxy Tab 10.1N. Meanwhile, the Australian ban was overturned last November.

Unconditional Love – Setting the Bar too Low
…children who are spinning out of control, and who refuse any form of intervention, must understand that there are gedorim, red flags and lines which cannot be crossed while still using the home as a base once they have gone off the derech. There is no unconditional love in these circumstances. When a child does not want any help from therapists, psychologists, social workers, family members, rabbonim, he/she cannot expect that his/her parents will love him as before. Such a child must know and feel that the door is always open as long as he/she opens a pesach shel machat.
Having dealt firsthand with similar situations for over sixteen years, it is our very strong recommendation to parents that their message to their OTD child and his/her siblings be one of unconditional love with no exceptions. Love does not mean acceptance. It means that the place our children hold in our hearts is not diminished regardless of how much they disappoint or even hurt us.

"I had the serendipity of modeling during a temporary interlude between Twiggy and Kate Moss, when it was actually okay for women to look as if we ate and enjoyed life."
"We're obsessed with the way Kate looks - Wellington boots with shorts? Who else could get away with that?"
"I think that both Kate and Samantha did well in their individual performances. It was great to see Kate make it to finals to score for the team. I think Samantha swam well, but she will tell you she didn't. She came down with a cold the week of districts, and it lingered throughout the trip to state and it had some effects."
"My daughter [Kate] didn't even come over for the draw because she said she wasn't here for the first round of the draw, and we drew well. She wouldn't come over today in case she jinxed me."

Pumpkin paddling may be prudent at annual regatta
';We';re going to have to be very cautious this year,'; said Robbie Grady, executive director of the Main Street Program, which hosts the event.
Grady said the water was inspected yesterday to see how much of the invasive weed is present, and a decision will be made by next week as to whether or not motors can be used.
';We don';t know how extensive it is,'; Grady said. ';We';ve asked all boaters to bring a paddle this year.';
According to the N.H. Department of Environmental Services, milfoil spreads quickly and easily. Grady is concerned that the use of motors at the regatta may make it worse.
';Milfoil can get chopped up by a motor and spread,'; she said, and combined with the safety issue of weeds clogging boat motors, banning pumpkin-propelling motors is a definite possibility.
';Once we see the extent of the problem, we';ll decide on how we';re going to proceed,'; said Grady.
At Monday';s meeting, the board of selectmen voted to allow access to the shoreline for milfoil removal, providing that state regulations are met and the town does not incur any cost.
Grady said Larry Pilotte, who is certified in milfoil eradication by the state of New Hampshire, was hired by the Main Street Program to remove some of the milfoil at the launch site, but would not indicate how much his services cost.
';We';ve secured the work of Larry to take care of the area that';s of most concern to us,'; Grady said.
Pilotte is expected to report his findings to the state.
Grady said the complication won';t do much to change the rest of the weekend, which will feature trolley rides, live music, and several pumpkin-themed activities and events, including a weigh-off, cook-off, a catapult and pumpkin carving and painting.

The National Conference for Undergraduate Research (NCUR), www.ncur.org, is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual conference for students to present their work. Unlike meetings of academic professional organizations, this gathering of young scholars welcomes presenters from all institutions of higher learning and from all corners of the academic curriculum. Through this annual conference, NCUR creates a unique environment for the celebration and promotion of undergraduate student achievement, provides models of exemplary research and scholarship, and helps to improve the state of undergraduate education.
Student presentations are welcome in all fields and disciplines from the creative and performing arts to biomedical, engineering, and social science research. The National Conference for Undergraduate Research is a wonderful opportunity to meet peers and faculty from around the country working in similar research fields, learn about how research and scholarship is conducted in fields very different than your own, to learn about graduate school and employment opportunities, and, of course, to develop your presentation skills.
Student applications and abstracts must be submitted to NCUR by December 2, 2015 (www.cur.org/ncur_2016/). The Office of Engaged Learning has limited funding available for registration and travel costs for students whose proposals are submitted and accepted NCUR. Applications for NCUR funding must be submitted to UVU by 5PM on December 2, 2015 (http://www.uvu.edu/undergrad-research/research/ncur.html). Students need to work with a UVU faculty mentor for their project to be eligible. Students are strongly encouraged to work with the UVU Office of Academic Research Support (OARS).

Apple releases Aperture 3
Apple has introduced Aperture 3, the next release of its photo editing and management software, for which it claims over 200 new features with the boast that "Aperture 3 makes it even easier and faster to organise large photo libraries".
These new features include "Faces, Places and Brushes" that build on the Faces and Places features introduced in iPhoto '09 while "Brushes" lets users paint image adjustments and effects onto parts of a photo, and "Adjustment Presets" applies professional photo effects "with just one click".
There's also "stunning" new slideshows that let you share your work by weaving together photos, audio, text and HD video, says Apple.
"Millions of people love using iPhoto to organise, edit and share their digital photos", said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior VP of worldwide product marketing.
"Aperture 3 is designed for both professionals who edit and manage massive libraries of photos and iPhoto users who want to take their photos further with easy-to-use tools such as Brushes and Adjustment Presets".
Aperture 3 is available through both the online and retail Apple Stores for £169 while existing Aperture users can upgrade for £79.

"As we have been abandoned by the State and all its agencies it falls to us, the local citizens, to protect our own neighbourhood."
High speed bike chases are normally the preserve of over dramatic US TV shows, but you rarely hear of them in Mayo. Until recently that is.
Footage of the, eh, high speed chase (see above) surfaced on the web in recent days of this crusader's valiant attempt to evade the attention of three Gardai in the vicinity of the controversial Rossport site in North Mayo, where the Shell to Sea protesters are still fighting the good fight.
In the end, the fleeing man, described by some as the fastest man on two wheels since Valentino Rossi, is viciously accosted by three Gardai, much to the annoyance of spectators, who pleaded with the law to leave him alone and let him do what he wants.
Once things had all calmed down, a Bean Garda tried to scare off the cyclist with quotes from the Road Traffic Act, but she should have known that no rules apply to this maverick renegade.
In case you think we're messing by the way, this is actually real footage. Enjoy the 'chase' for yourself in the video above.

Siesta Key
... much pondering, we decided to cook in our little house, as we probably won't get many places with a kitchen and eating out all day every day gets a bit pricey. We went to the village supermarket and Jan cooked a lovely risotto. We wondered if we could stay another night at Siesta Key as it was so nice, but we're running out of time and have to move on.....next stop, ...

Multi-Stripe Electrical Tape Table Project
Add bold and colorful flair to a basic end table with electrical tape.
Materials Needed:
- colored electrical tape
- tape measure
- Parsons style table
- scissors
- credit card or burnisher
- calculator
Choose the Proper Table
When choosing a table for this project, stick with styles that have clean, simple lines (Image 1). Parsons tables are often the best choice. Tip: Electrical tape adheres best to slick, smooth flat surfaces (Image 2).
Determine Placement of Tape
Before attaching the tape to the table, it's important to plan your design. Lay each roll out, playing with options for patterns -- consistent or random (Image 1). Tip: When it comes to consistent patterns, complementary colors work best since they offer the perfect blend of contrast and balance when paired side by side (Image 2). Consider placing complementary colors next to one another, then breaking them up with a strip of white tape before repeating the pattern.
Electrical Tape Toys
"I couldn't afford a popular toy train track for my son, so I ran some low tack painters tape [down] the length of the hallway so he had a train track for his toys." -Facebook fan Scuba Steve
Determine Amount of Strips Needed
Measure the width of the table top using a tape measure, then divide the table top width by the width of the electrical tape. This total will equal the amount of strips of tape needed to cover the table top surface.
Start With Center Point
Use a tape measure to determine the center point of the table top and place the first strip of tape directly down the center (Image 1). Tip: Once the tape is rolled out, be sure not to pull it too much or it will stretch, causing uneven lines. Instead, gently pull the tape from the top of the table to the bottom, pressing lightly in a consistent manner (Image 2).
Attach Tape to Bottom of Table Top
With the tape pulled lightly across the top, then down along the side, extend it one inch along the bottom of the table top; cut with scissors.
Slightly Overlap Each Strip
Begin adding strips of tape, slightly overlapping each one by roughly 1/8 of an inch. This will ensure the table top does not show through should the strips of tape swell.
Continue Left and Right
Repeat the overlapping process, one strip of tape at a time, working equally from left to right, starting with the center strip.
Remove Air Bubbles
Using a credit card or a burnisher, remove any air bubbles that form below the surface of the tape.
Cover Sides and Legs
Continue the color placement down the sides of the table as well as the legs, cutting pieces to size as needed. To create corners, it's necessary to overlap tape.
Ensure Straight Lines
Once the strips of tape are all in place, double-check the placement to ensure lines are perfectly straight.

Enhancing gardens as habitats for flower-visiting aerial insects (pollinators): should we plant native or exotic species?
This experiment has shown that flowering garden plant assemblages can provide a resource for pollinators regardless of the plants' origin and that the greater the resource available the more pollinators will visit.
By Andrew Salisbury, James Armitage1, Helen Bostock1, Joe Perry, Mark Tatchell and Ken Thompson
Journal of Applied Ecology
Aug 11, 2015
1. Domestic gardens typically consist of a mixture of native and non-native plants which support biodiversity and provide valuable ecosystem services, particularly in urban environments. Many gardeners wish to encourage biodiversity by choosing appropriate plant taxa. The value of native and non-native plants in supporting animal biodiversity is, however, largely unknown.
2. The relative value of native and non-native garden plants to invertebrates was investigated in a replicated field experiment. Plots (deliberately akin to garden borders) were planted with one of three treatments, representing assemblages of plants based on origin (native, near-native and exotic). Invertebrates and resource measurements were recorded over four years. This paper reports the abundance of flower-visiting aerial insects ('pollinators') associated with the three plant assemblages.

Raw Human Waste As Fertiliser For Urban Agriculture In Zimbabwe Linked To Typhoid And Cholera
In terms of the new draft law, no person would be allowed to use or allow the use of human excreta as fertiliser, while people would also be barred from irrigating vegetables and plants with raw waste water.

Aug 6, 2015
THE Harare City Council (HCC) is set for renewed tension with residents after it approved the amendment of a by-law that seeks to halt the rampant use of raw human waste as fertiliser.
The new by-law sailed through a full council meeting last Thursday and now awaits ministerial approval.
At law, all council by-laws have to be approved by the Minister of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing.

A Walk on the Wild (Edibles) Side in Berkeley

(Must see. Mike)
With Stark and Carlson, everything was different. We parked our car at a corner in West Oakland and within seconds these gents were pointing out sow thistle, mallow, dock, sourgrass, and nearly everything else you see here. Most of it was good enough to eat on the spot; some of it would've benefited from cooking. A portion … well, I'd ignore.

Feature documentary looking at the latest science about the health benefits of children re-connecting with nature
"I think that city farms could play a massive part in future health!"
By Toni Harman,
Producer / Director, A Probiotic Life
As well as the general point about the need for our children to reconnect with nature, the film explores the latest science that suggests young children could really benefit from being more exposed to more farm microbes.
We recently returned from filming on an Amish farm in Indiana where the children have remarkably low rates of asthma and allergies – the scientists hypothesise that a diet of locally sourced organic food plus the children being exposed to the microbes from farm animals from a very young age – these could be conferring considerable health benefits for the Amish children.

Oslo creates world's first 'highway' to protect endangered bees
Norway's capital is creating a route filled with flowers and 'green roofs' to protect endangered pollinators essential to food production
Agence France-Presse
via The Guardian
25 June 2015
From flower-emblazoned cemeteries to rooftop gardens and balconies, Norway's capital Oslo is creating a "bee highway" to protect endangered pollinators essential to food production.
"We are constantly reshaping our environment to meet our needs, forgetting that other species also live in it," Agnes Lyche Melvaer, head of the Bybi, an environmental group supporting urban bees, which is leading the project.
"To correct that we need to return places to them to live and feed," she explained, sitting on a bench in a lush city centre square bursting with early Nordic summer growth.

FAO Report: Climate Change And Food Systems
Agriculture is highly dependent on local weather conditions and, therefore, is expected to be highly sensitive to changes in climate in the years to come.
FAO Press Release
June 18, 2015
8 June 2015, Rome – Global warming will have profound consequences on where and how food is produced, and also lead to a reduction in the nutritional properties of some crops, all of which has policy implications for the fight against hunger and poverty and for the global food trade, experts say in a new book.
"Climate Change and Food Systems" collects the findings of a group of scientists and economists who have taken stock of climate change impacts on food and agriculture at global and regional levels over the past two decades.
"The growing threat of climate change to the global food supply, and the challenges it poses for food security and nutrition, requires urgent concerted policy responses … ," wrote FAO Deputy Director-General Natural Resources, Maria Helena Semedo, in her foreword to the volume.

From Riots To Vineyard — A Story of Urban Revival in Cleveland, Ohio

Although the vineyard is only three-fourths of an acre, Frazier did his homework on what to plant, where, and how. Frazier was a complete novice, so he immersed himself in learning.
He's consulted with Greg Johns, manager of Ohio State University's Ashtabula Agricultural Research Station, and David Popp of Bacchus Vineyard & Winery Services LLC, who serves as his viticulturist.
There are 14 rows, 21 vines per row, half Frontenac and half Traminette, chosen specifically for their cold-hardiness.

Havana, Cuba – Lettuces of Lead
The lack of an effective system of trash sorting and processing works against us, because much of the waste used for compost in the urban organic gardens has had previous contact with materials like cans, paints, and batteries, thrown indiscriminately into landfills all over the country.
By Rosa Lopez
1 March 2015
Nationwide, about 40,000 people work in urban agriculture projects on some 83,000 acres (130 square miles) that are divided into 145,000 parcels, 385,000 patios*, 6,400 intensive gardens and 4,000 urban organic gardens. These last under the leadership of the Ministry of Agriculture, although with some autonomy for crop management.
With these lands planted in populated areas, it has been the goal to reduce food insecurity, offer greater access to fresh produce and to expand green spaces in urban zones.

City Bees Are Actually More Diverse Than Country Bees
A honeybee visits a flower in Bath, England (Nick Upton).
Other pollinators don't like urban areas as much as rural, but bees live in similar numbers across different landscapes
By Marissa Fessenden
February 12, 2015
Katherine Baldock, of the University of Bristol, surveyed pollinator abundance across 36 different sites that spanned farmland, nature reserves and urban areas. Her team counted honey bees, bumble bees and other flying pollinators. The group found that each area had about the same amount of total pollinators. Even though urban areas might not seem like the ideal place for flower-loving bees, those landscapes held more diverse bee species, though the other pollinators were less diverse and numerous. Baldock and her colleagues published their findings in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Designing for Beauty and Biodiversity in the Home Garden
By Rick Darke and Doug Tallamy
Timber Press
A home garden is often seen as separate from the natural world surrounding it. In truth, it is actually just one part of a larger landscape made up of many living layers. And the replacement of the rich layers of native flora with turf grass greatly diminishes a garden's biological diversity and ecological function.

Stella Ursua works for a greener Long Beach
By Andrew Edwards
For Stella Ursua, an acre or so's worth of carrots, kale, strawberries, tomatoes and other produce growing in the middle of the city is but an example of her vision for a greener city.
The crops grow at a place called Lincoln Spring Farms, near the crossing of Spring Street and Atlantic Avenue within site of Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. The catchphrase for such a place is "urban farming," and Ursua herself doesn't run the farm, she said. It's an example of the kinds of activity her organization, Green Education Inc., seeks to promote.

December 23, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) – In May 2013, the mayor of the nation's capital announced that the city would partner with a produce supplier to build what the company called "the most productive urban farm in the world."
But no one bothered to inspect the site. If they had, they would have found an unlicensed landfill that's 18 feet deep; 10-foot-high piles of debris including roofing material and insulation; and rusting petroleum containers on the banks of a creek.

Are your urban veggies really toxic?
The New York State Department of Health, along with those same soil-researchers at Cornell, put together a list of 10 best practices for healthy gardening in and around contaminated urban soils.
By Liz Core
21 Nov 2014
Vigil told me that the farms have soil tested every year for lead levels, and the results have always come out safe. So when the press started railing against the toxic dangers of his veggies, Vigil was put off (OK, he was royally ticked). He wrote an open letter about what's really going on and how urban farmers are handling soil toxins. Here's a taste:
In the past two years we have partnered with the Department of Sanitation to distribute over 5,000 bags of NYC Compost to East New York gardens, and applied over 10 cubic yards of new compost to our farm.

Umbilical cord blood mercury levels in China
ABSTRACT Mercury (Hg) is a well-known neurotoxicant. Hg exposure at high levels can harm individuals of all ages. Even low level exposure to Hg can damage the brain of fetuses and young children, and affect their central nervous system and cognitive development. The aims of our study were to measure total Hg levels in infant umbilical cord blood and to investigate the risk factors associated with total Hg cord blood levels in various cities in China. Our goal was to provide clues for the prevention of Hg exposure in utero. The results indicated that the average cord blood mercury levels (CBMLs) were (1.81 +/- 1.93) microg/L, which were lower than those found in most previous studies. The concentrations also differed according to geographic region. The CBMLs were not only associated with family economic and living conditions, but also with diet in pregnant women, especially the intake of marine fish, shellfish, poultry, formula milk and fruits.

ABSTRACT: Hg is an accumulative and neuro-toxic heavy metal which has a wide range of adverse effects in human health. However, few studies are available on body burden of Hg level in different bio-samples of pregnant women in Chinese population. Therefore, this study evaluated Hg levels in different maternal bio-samples in Shenyang city, China and investigated the correlation of Hg levels in different bio-samples. From October to December 2008, 200 pregnant women about to deliver their babies at ShengJing Hospital (Shenyang city, northeast of China) participated in this study. The geometric mean (GM) of Hg levels in cord blood, maternal venous blood, breast milk, and maternal urine were 2.18 µg/L, 1.17 µg/L, 1.14 µg/L, and 0.73 µg/L, respectively, and the GM of maternal hair Hg level was 404.45 µg/kg. There was a strong correlation between cord blood and maternal blood total Hg level (r = 0.713, P<0.001). Frequency of fish consumption more than or equal to 3 times per week during pregnancy was suggested as a significant risk factor of prenatal Hg exposure (unadjusted OR 3.5, adjusted OR 2.94, P<0.05). This study provides evidence about Hg burden of mothers and the risk factors of prenatal Hg exposure in Shenyang city, China.PLoS ONE 05/2014; 9(5):e98121.

King Boom Boo
this wiki
King Boom Boo (キングブーブ Kingubūbu?), also known as "The King of Ghosts", is a boss in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. He is a colossal ghost and the king of ghosts who leads the Boos and Boom Boos.
At some point, King Boom Boo took residence in Dr. Eggman's pyramid base. While Knuckles the Echidna was searching for keys to the base's center, King Boom Boo attacked the echidna. With Knuckles using his weakness sunlight against him though, King Boom Boo was defeated and dispersed into thin air.
Other game appearances
Sonic Rivals 2
In Sonic Rivals 2, King Boom Boo appears as a collectible card. It can be unlocked by winning the Tails Cup in Single Player mode. The card unlocks Tails' Captain suit.
King Boom Boo is malicious, sadistic and mischievous, laughing merrily when causing harm to others. However, he also has a cowardly side, as when the odds would turn against him during his battle with Knuckles, he would resort to running away. He also greatly hates sunlight and will try to hide from it. He appears incapable of coherent speech, only giving off babbles, grunts and roars.
Powers and abilities
As a ghost, King Boom Boo has several supernatural powers. He is capable of levitation and can levitate with enough speed to keep up with Knuckles. He also possesses pyrokinetic abilities which lets him either form blue fireballs in his hands and throw them like projectiles or blow a large wall of blue flames from his mouth. He can as well transform into a dark shadow of himself which lets him move along floors and walls, though he can removed from a surface by force which will make him revert back to his normal form. He can also seemingly turn himself invisible.
King Boom Boo's strength is tied to the light; when in contact with darkness and shadows, his powers are at their peak, allowing him to become bigger, stronger and seemingly invulnerable. Consequently, he is weakened when in contact with sunlight, making him shrink and vulnerable to attacks.
|King Boom Boo
King Boom Boo at the beginning.
A boss battle that takes place in a part of Death Chamber
|Previous boss
|Next boss
King Boom Boo is encountered and fought by Knuckles the Echidna after clearing through Death Chamber. The fight takes place on a circular platform surrounding a large pillar
Boss guide
To begin with, King Boom Boo chases Knuckles around the arena. If the player gets too much in front of him, King Boom Boo will turn around and chase after Knuckles from the other direction of the area. During the chase after knuckles, King Boom Boo will throw blue fireballs at him all the while. After a while, he will pause to fire a jet of flame from his mouth: get behind him at this point to quickly to see a smaller Boo carrying an Hourglass. Hit the Boo and he drops the hourglass, opening up a hatch at the top of the temple. When sunshine pours in, King Boom Boo shrinks down to a shadow and tries to escape along the surface of the platform, including the walls and the ground: stand on top of his shadow to hold him in place, then use dig to chase a weakened King Boom Boo out of the ground. As King Boom Boo then flees around the place, catch up to him and attack with the Punch Attack to deal damage. Act with haste however, because when the ceiling hatch closes, King Boom Boo regains his strength. Repeat this strategy, although, after each hit, King Boom Boo becomes faster and the sand in the Hourglass runs quicker. Land four hits to defeat King Boom Boo.
In other media
Sonic X
King Boom Boo also made an appearance in the Sonic X anime series and its comic series published by Archie Comics. In this continuity, he and his minions of Boos haunt an ancient castle on earth.
King Boom Boo first appeared in the episode "Sonic's Scream Test", where he and his Boos kidnapped Sonic and the majority of his friends after the talisman keeping them trapped in their world was removed, with the goal of emerging in the living world. However, King Boom Boo was stopped and returned to his world thanks to the united efforts of Sonic and his friends
In Sonic X #14, King Boom Boo returned, having been summoned to an island when the talisman was taken there. There, King Boom Boo began possessing the islanders so he could enter the living world for good, but was convinced by Chris and Cream to return to his eternal sleep.
- King Boom Boo's presence can be seen at the giant pillars in Pumpkin Hill and in Aquatic Mine
- King Boom Boo was suggested as a new character for issues of the Archie Comics following Sonic the Hedgehog #134, but the plot line in which he was intended to feature appears to have been cut.
- King Boom Boo is the only boss in Sonic Adventure 2 to have green text appear on-screen before facing him.
- Although it's never shown, it's arguable that Knuckles was afraid of King Boom Boo, as when he notices him, he says "What the... a ghost?!", but he only says it with a little shock and disbelief. However, in an unused line, Knuckles says "What?! A ghost!" in a more frightened tone, and in the Japanese version, Knuckles says "O-Obake!", meaning "G-Ghost!", and he is clearly scared.
- King Boom Boo resembles the Boos from Nintendo's Mario series. His name even contains "Boo".
- When fighting him, the player can see a picture of a Nintendo Boo and a regular Boom Boo on the wall.
- King Boom Boo actually came before Nintendo's King Boo. King Boo's first appearance was in Luigi's Mansion, which was released the same year as, but several months after, Sonic Adventure 2.
- King Boom Boo and the other ghosts in Death Chamber look similar to Hyudoro in Sandopolis Zone in Sonic & Knuckles. Also, both of them inhabit pyramids.
- There is a glitch in the boss battle, when the windows on the roof of Boom Boo's arena are opened if the player pauses the game. The sky will change from blue to black. If the player resumes the game, the sky will return to its normal color. However, if the player restarts the game from the pause menu, the sky will stay black for the rest of the fight.
- Strangely, if the player restarts the battle, a scene features a Boo lifting the Hourglass will appear, which does not appear before.

Anger blows out the lamp of the mind.
Robert Ingersoll (1833 - 1899)
Contributed by: Zaady
I would rather be a beggar and spend my money like a king, than be a king and spend money like a beggar.
Courage without conscience is a wild beast.
The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.
Happiness is not a reward - it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it is a result.
There is no slavery but ignorance.
Source: The Liberty of Man, Woman and Child, 1877
Justice should remove the bandage from her eyes long enough to distinguish between the vicious and the unfortunate.
Love is the only bow on life's dark cloud. It is the Morning and the Evening Star. It shines upon the cradle of the babe, and sheds its radiance upon the quiet tomb. It is the Mother of Art, inspirer of poet, patriot, and philosopher. It is the air and light of every heart, builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody, for music is the voice of Love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to joy, and makes right royal kings of common clay. It is the perfume of the wondrous flower-the heart-and without that sacred passion, . . . we are less than beasts; but with it, earth and heaven are gods.
Learn to love good books. There are treasures in books that all the money in the world cannot buy, but the poorest laborer can have for nothing.
The way to be happy is to make others so.

The required road repairs this year come on top of massive overspending by state and local governments on snow removal because of more than two dozen separate storms that required salting and plowing.
Stateline, the daily news service of the Pew Charitable Trusts, reported last week that Virginia would spend at least $100 million more than the $157 million it set aside for winter maintenance. Maryland's expenses were expected to hit $130 million, nearly double its five-year average of $70 million. The states planned to use money previously designated for spring and summer maintenance to cover the added costs.
And, pothole-induced damage can be costly to car owners. Nationwide, Mr. Townsend said motorists will collectively pay $6.4 billion for pothole-related damage to vehicles this year.
Locally, D.C. drivers will share $311 million of that bill, or $833 per motorist, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Mr. Townsend said tire issues could result in bills ranging from $50-$500, depending on the tire and the extent of the damage.
"If you rip the tire, you have to replace the whole tire," he said. "If you drive on it, you could do damage to the shocks or suspension system."
Serious damage to the steering or suspension system could result in bills as steep as $2,500.
Mr. Townsend said the severity of the pothole problem can be measured two ways. One way is to count the potholes. Another way is to count the number of drivers who call for tire service assistance.
AAA can testify to the latter, as the group has recently seen an increase in those calls for help.
This year, the motor club received 2,651 requests for tire services in the District alone — a 19 percent increase over last year.
The good news is that the bout of below-freezing temperatures that marked the early spring is expected to move out of the area by Thursday, to be replaced by more seasonable weather.
Once that happens, crews can repair the damage — not a moment too soon for transportation officials.
"In this situation, we want to repave, and we can't really do that in this kind of weather," Mr. Sanders said. "Ideally we want to have a smooth roadway."

Cake was a good product.Then cupcakes came along and ruined everything.You can't just put deliciousness in a portable form. People will get fat.
But then XIII-2 came alongThen the series went to hell.I mean come on! They took a good ending, and everything was all resolved and what-not, and they said" No *** you, all of that hard work you did in XIII was easily earased because Toryiama is obsessed with Lightnings flat chest!" GAH!
Thank goodness XIII-2 came along, as it was a significant,improvement over XIII. But the golden age of FF ended after IX.
258laza posted...Except cake sucks ass. Pie is where it's at.I was gonna say something, but quite frankly, I don't want to get into some weird pastry argument.Granted, some weird pastry argument sounds more productive than arguing over a video game, so I'll bite.I think Toaster Strudels are a fine product, but they crossed the line by saying "Kids prefer them over Pop-Tarts."

The Power of Living Hands Free!
What does it mean to live "Hands Free?" Living "Hands Free" means making a conscious decision to temporarily push aside daily distractions and give your undivided attention to someone or something meaningful in your life. "It doesn't mean giving up technology all together," says Rachel Macy Stafford, "and it does not mean ignoring your job responsibilities, volunteer obligations, or home duties. Living 'Hands Free' allows you to experience the joy that comes from being fully engaged with others."

Sesame Chicken Cucumber Noodle Salad
From EatingWell: May/June 2011, July/August 2012
This sesame chicken and noodle salad couldn't be simpler to make. It's a refreshing dish to serve on a hot summer's night or bring it to your warm-weather potluck: just toss the salad with the dressing when you're ready to serve. Recipe adapted from Simply Ming One-Pot Meals by Ming Tsai and Arthur Boehm (Kyle Books, 2010).
