You do great work.
Your flashes are pretty funny and you choose fitting music, loved the indiana jones theme at the end.
This is cool, I'll check your other movies.
It was pretty funny. Surprisingly, I did actually make it to the end. Though not the best, or even close to Mega Man vs. Quick Man, I think it was worth the time. Keep it up.
Totally agree with RelinquishedShadow
Well executed graphics, goood charachter development, and fairly funny plot.
I'd like to see more of Iadulo and Beloochi.
No interactivity? You get a big fat "0" in that area, though this flash does not need interactivity. And actually, having it would probably take away from it.

Ray Kurzweil: 2007,What are you Optimistic about?
Re: Question 2007: What are you optimistic about? Why?
I'm confident about energy, the environment, longevity, and wealth; I'm optimistic (but not necessarily confident) of the avoidance of existential downsides; and I'm hopeful (but not necessarily optimistic) about a repeat of 9-11 (or worse). Optimism exists on a continuum in-between confidence and hope. Let me take these in order. I am confident that the acceleration and expanding purview of information technology will solve the problems with which we are now preoccupied within twenty years.
Consider energy. We are awash in energy (10,000 times more than we need to meet all of our needs falls on the Earth) but we are not very good at capturing it, but that will change with full nanotechnology based assembly of macro objects at the nano scale controlled by massively parallel information processes, which will be feasible within twenty years. Even though our energy needs are projected to triple within 20 years, we'll capture that .0003 of the sunlight needed to meet all of our energy needs with no use of fossil fuels using extremely inexpensive, highly efficient, lightweight, nano engineered solar panels, and store the energy in highly distributed (and, therefore, safe) nanotechnology-based fuel cells. Solar power is now providing one part in a thousand of our energy needs but that percentage is doubling every two years, which means multiplying by a thousand in 20 years. Almost all of the discussions I've seen about energy and its consequences such as global warming fail to consider the ability of future nanotechnology based solutions to solve this problem. This development will be motivated not just by concern for the environment, but by the USD 2 trillion we spend annually on energy. This is already a major area of venture funding.

Not cool, Bronze Fonz gets "stuck"
Sure, it's not a huge crime. But, putting a big sticker on the back of the Bronze Fonz isn't cool.
Indeed, the Bronze Fonz on Milwaukee's Riverwalk has been defaced. Well, "debacked," if that's a word.
There's a huge sticker on the back of the Fonz's signature jacket and it doesn't seem to be coming off easily. Vandalism, in my book.
Come on, people. Show some respect. Let's keep our Fonz clean. Ayyyyy.
Update: As of 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, the Bronze Fonz has been fully cleaned and Paul Sherwood from Theiss Interior Design reports that he "looks as good as new."

They are the 1 per cent - but how do you join them?
A new study of how the world's best-paid elite at investment banks, law practices and consulting firms hire new employees has found it is often not the best qualified candidates who get the job.
Instead bosses at elite American firms - when confronted with a dizzying array of candidates from the top universities with the best marks - choose someone they would like to form a friendship with.
Lauren Rivera, from Northwestern University's school of management, found that these elite firms hire people like them.
"Employers sought candidates who were not only competent but also culturally similar to themselves in terms of leisure pursuits, experiences and self-presentation styles," Professor Rivera's research, published in December in the American Sociological Review, found.
The research, she wrote, was the first systematic and empirical investigation of whether shared culture between employers and job candidates was crucial when hiring.
Professor Rivera conducted 120 detailed interviews with people involved in hiring at top-tier law, consulting and banking firms that pay exceptionally well - with typical law firm entry level salaries ranging from US$175,000 ($209,885) to US$330,000.
She found, after three years of research, that "similarity was the most common mechanism employers used to assess applicants at the job interview stage". One law firm partner told her the company was, when hiring new entry-level associates, "looking for cultural compatibility. Someone who will fit in".
More than half of the 120 people Professor Rivera interviewed rated the candidate's ability to fit in culturally above analytical thinking and communication skills.
Because of the long hours these workers spent on the job, Professor Rivera wrote, "evaluators ... reported wanting to hire individuals who would not only be competent colleagues, but also held the potential to be playmates or even friends".
Evaluators in these high-paying firms also perceived their work was "not rocket science", given the extensive training given to new employees.
The importance of personal interests appeared crucial to elite firms choosing employees.
"Whether someone rock climbs, plays the cello, or enjoys film noir may seem trivial to outsiders, but these leisure pursuits were crucial for assessing whether someone was a cultural fit," Professor Rivera wrote; with so many candidates from prestigious universities, firms needed distinctions to compile interview pools.
One law firm manager said they would be unlikely to hire a graduate who listed lacrosse and squash on their resume, because they wouldn't fit in; another said they could select candidates for interview on those same activities.
Another law firm said they wanted people who lacked personality.
"When I see people who have a lot of activities on their resume´s, or if they seem to have a really strong passion for something outside of work, I'll usually take a pass because it's not going to be a good fit,"' one lawyer said.

Carl Franklin Handles Snitch
Recently reported to give up his directing stint in "Tulia", Carl Franklin turns out to have found another potential vehicle to ride. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the Richmond-born filmmaker is about to direct New Line Cinema's thriller "Snitch."
Inspired by true events chronicled in a PBS "Frontline" documentary, pic concerns a devoted father whose son faces thirty years jail sentence after being set up in a drug deal. Determining to reveal the truth, the man then boldly goes undercover in the drug world to make a bust that will free his son.
While no word yet on the cast lineup, Guy East and Nigel Sinclair are both confirmed to produce through their Spitfire Pictures alongside "Frontline" series producer David Fanning. Meanwhile, script has already been entrusted into the hands of Justin Haythe who is also serving as the executive producer for the movie.

Michael Phelps: MARRIED to Nicole Johnson?!
Hard to believe, but it's been 16 years since Michael Phelps put the swimming world on notice - and became a household name.
Hard to believe, but it's been 16 years since Michael Phelps put the swimming world on notice - and became a household name.
Yesterday, the world learned that Michael Phelps and Nicole Johnson are expecting their first child.
It was joyous news for Phelps, his family, and his legion of loyal fans. However, one longtime associate of the legendary Olympian was less than thrilled with the news.
Michael Phelps and Nicole Johnson announced today that they're expecting their first child!
Last week, our exclusive interview with Taylor Lianne Chandler provided an insider's perspective on the hotly-debated and often confusing relationship between Chandler and embattled Olympic legend Michael Phelps.
Chandler has balked at being referred to as Phelps' girlfriend, yet says she felt betrayed when she found out he was romantically involved with other women.
Back in October, we were the first to report on a woman named Taylor Lianne Chandler - a 42-year-old sign language interpreter and crisis management consultant who was involved in a romantic relationship with Michael Phelps at the time of Phelps' DUI arrest.
In the months since, many new details emerged about Chandler and her dealings with Phelps.
Last month, we learned that Michael Phelps is engaged to Nicole Johnson.
No one was more surprised by the announcement than Taylor Liane Chandler, Dana Shapiro, Keshia Miller, and the several other women who say they were romantically involved with Phelps at the time that he decided to settle down with Johnson.
As you've likely heard by now, Michael Phelps gets around.
Over the weekend, Michael Phelps announced his engagement to Nicole Johnson.
The more we learned about Johnson, the more this began to feel like a relationship of convenience - an attempt to rebuild Phelps' shattered reputation in the wake of a DUI arrest and a number of bizarre allegations about his sex life.
Over the weekend, the world learned that troubled swimming sensation Michael Phelps is now engaged to Nicole Johnson, the former Miss California.
The news was somewhat sudden and surprising, as the Olympian and beauty queen have had quite the tumultuous relationship over the years.
Michael Phelps has struck gold once again...
... when it comes to love!
Back in November, we told you about a middle-aged, inter-sex woman named Taylor Lianne Chandler and her relationship with Michael Phelps.
Sources informed us that Chandler was with Phelps on the night of his DUI arrest and had been spending a lot of time with the Olympian in the weeks leading up to his rehab stint.
The romantic entanglements of Michael Phelps are worth more in sleazy entertainment gold than all of the medals the swimmer racked up in Beijing put together.

July 2016
our bus driver Joe kennedy was very informative in giving details and history of Sydney, Blue mountains and Leora. He was talking for straight 2 hours! Well done
June 2016
This was our first tour in Australia and I think our driver, Joe, helped make it our very favorite. He had a running commentary all the way to the Blue Mountains about Australia and he had several entertaining anecdotes about the towns we were passing through. The group at the Blue Mountains made my 91-year-old Mom's day when they enthusiastically gathered around her for photos and selfies. The wildlife park was terrific with the koalas and kangaroos being a real hit. Joe even gave us a quick tour of the beautiful Olympic facilities on our return to Sydney, which was an unexpected bonus!

Just outside the small towns of Carlton and Yamhill are neatly combed benchlands and hillsides, an American Viticultural Area (AVA) established in 2004, and home to some of the finest Pinot Noir vineyards in the world. Carlton has exploded with many small tasting rooms in the past few years, and you could easily spend an entire day tasting wine within three or four blocks. The area is a gorgeous quilt of nurseries, grain fields, and orchards. Come here for the wine tasting, but don't expect to find too much else to do.

I am so excited. I'm leaving May 13 and driving to Tampa for a nice wedding. I'm going early for a much needed vacation. I've had a tough year!
I'm probably going to drive it in one day. But I'd like to get off the interstates and enjoy some old Florida icons. Any thoughts? I will avoid the Disney business. Ew.
I have a beach hotel reservation. My family members will all fly down on Thursday. I get to bring all the luggage : D. I'm going to Sanibel for a day trip on Wednesday, I think. I'd really appreciate input from fellow Fodorites for some place fun to stop and eat. Should I get on A!A?
Thanks a bunch.

Driving from Greensboro, NC, to Tampa
I am so excited. I'm leaving May 13 and driving to Tampa for a nice wedding. I'm going early for a much needed vacation. I've had a tough year!

I don't know if you are at all interested, but I very much enjoyed visiting Cross Creek and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' home there. I went before it was a state park but I doubt that has changed it much. Her house looks like she just stepped away for a few minutes and the drive to/from it illusrates how scrubby the land really is/was. I drove away amazed at how hardy and resilent the Cracker settlers had to be.
Report Abuse
If that's of interest, you may also like reading Janisse Ray's "Ecology of a Cracker Childhood". She describes growing up in south Georgia but the ecology (and Cracker lineage) remains virtually the same. And it's my favorite book of hers.
Report Abuse
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings house is a great idea, starrs. Getting there suewoo is easy as it is just off US27. In jax, take I-10 west to Baldwin. Go south on US 27. There are signs to get to the park off US27. I think its just south of Hawthorne. (watch your speed on 27, especially in Hawthorne-known for its speed traps). You'll also be 'off the beaten path' taking that road. I drove it regularly for many years when I lived in Tampa and went to Jax to visit family. Antique mall south of Stark though I don't know if its still there or open on Mon. lots of beautiful horse farms in the Ocala area. In that area you should see signs to take you west to I-75 south for the rest of the way to Tampa.
Driving to Sanibel from Tampa is at least two hours each way though it depends on where you are starting from. I love Sanibel and Captiva and May shouldn't be too crowded.
Have a great trip!
Report Abuse
Y'all thanks. What a great idea! I'll do it and report back. I am SO looking forward tomthis.
Report Abuse
It's not a bad drive, I go to Concord NC each year. I would suggest St Augustine and/or Daytona, it is on the way, not far off the interstate. I go to Sanibel often, it should be beautiful this time of year and the shelling cannot be outdone. Lots of great food and very casual. Have a great trip. BTW, have you ever been to Seagrove in NC? It's a great day trip from Greensboro. If I lived up there I would go often.
Report Abuse
Thanks, Molly. I love Seagrove. I haven't been lately but I've been numerous times. It was right on my way from Charleston to Mama's when I was living down there. And I plan to (maybe) stay my first night at St Aug.

Suewoo, sounds like a great road trip, gotta love that. Be safe.

I know, I'm excited! I'm gonna open up the sunroof, get some snacks and enjoy the road. Thanks for your help.

OK I have one more question. Where should I go for stone crabs? The shackier the better.

Stone crab season is over; it has been dismal this year, meaning very high prices.

Big news in networking today as Dell announced plans to ship its Force10 switches with Cumulus software. The news is covered in several places, including the following:
These articles do a good job of explaining what Dell and Cumulus are up to. I won't rehash the product or technical details here. But what are the implications of this announcement?
When Cumulus first came onto the networking scene, the talk was all about decoupling networking hardware and software and how that would help lead the white box switching movement forward. The hope was that by separating the brains from the brawn – the network OS from the underlying switching hardware – the switches themselves would become dumb transport devices, allowing them to be replaced by commodity switches.
At the same time, they advanced a familiar thread in networking by saying that the decoupling of hardware and software would help fight vendor lock-in. At the time, this argument specious. Supporting a network OS across a set of functionally identical white box switches doesn't provide any choice. Customers would basically have their choice of the same device manufactured by several different vendors. Choice of manufacturer is not really what people were looking for, so the optionality argument put forth was somewhat disingenuous at the time.
Today's announcement changes both of these points in a significant way.
By shipping their Linux-based networking operating system on a mainstream vendor switch, Cumulus is proving that they are capable of doing more than just running on top of a reference switching design. This means that customers have the option of selecting into a Cumulus environment and effectively swapping out the underlying devices depending on the specific need. That is not to suggest that there are not barriers to change once you get settled on a single platform, but those barriers are more palatable when the software that runs on top remains constant. Indeed, much of the lock-in for any networking solution is in the software. If the software is constant, the hardware is more open to change.
But the subtle point here is that the driving decision for customers might not always be the lowest possible price for a hardware platform. If the future of networking is going to be the lowest possible CapEx, then the only platforms Cumulus ought spend any time supporting are the lowest-cost platforms. But that's not what's happening.
To date, Cumulus has been somewhat complicit in propagating the message that it is all about CapEx. They have driven, or at least allowed, the conversation towards CapEx. Strategically, this was a pretty crafty move. The story, even if not entirely true, is pretty easy to understand, and if there is one thing that we have learned with this whole wave of SDN and related technologies, it's that people are moved by simple stories. There is no simpler story than saying that the future of networking will necessarily follow the server evolution, resulting in cheap white box switches.
Somewhere along the way, the story started to change. White box became bare metal, and, if you watch closely, CapEx is becoming OpEx.
This was a necessary shift. The reality is that competing on a pure CapEx difference was never going to be a successful long-term play. While CapEx will work for a time, the simple fact that most of the switching world is converging on a narrow set of switching silicon means that the difference in price between the low and high ends of the market is going to become smaller over time. On top of that, the high end of that space is dominated by incumbents who have enough volume to negotiate better per-unit pricing, which allows them to get even more competitive on price.
So what is likely next for Cumulus?
This should be a relatively noticeable inflection point in their go-to-market strategy. I would guess that 2014 becomes a lot more about OpEx than CapEx. They should start to lean more heavily on their Linux foundation (though, to be fair, almost everyone has a Linux base at this point). They will likely shift their public dialogue more towards automation and DevOps. In private meetings, they will likely talk about support pricing as well (particularly in comparison to Cisco support costs, a long-time customer pet peeve). I say that the supporting pricing will be private because any real public discussion about pricing allows Cisco to just change their support costs on a per-deal basis and effectively squash that differentiator.
The interesting impacts, though, are not really related to product. Now that Cumulus has lined up Dell, how long before some of the other vendors come along? It is not a huge stretch to see someone like Extreme come along for the ride. They already announced support for Big Switch's SwitchLight software, so opening up to another player would be a natural move (though it would depend on the terms of that relationship, obviously). After that, HP becomes interesting. How far up-market can this go? When all is said and done, can Cumulus hop on board enough single-digit players to move their addressable share to north of 10%? It is worth noting that Cumulus will not be sold on 100% of their partner solutions, so it really is addressable share more than actual share.
And if they do make progress over time, what happens to the industry if VMWare takes them out? It could be that Cumulus is an interesting way to add a software-only product to the networking portfolio, a nice complement to NSX. This would basically galvanize a number of players against Cisco, allowing a common go-to-market framework. Sure, the individual players lose a bit of their ability to differentiate in software, but market share hasn't been moving for many of these companies anyway. Their best bet could be to become a nuisance to Cisco in switching, which could tie Cisco up in a way that makes them less capable of responding on other fronts.
The companies that become extremely interesting in this scenario are those companies who have made gains in switching. Brocade has been making progress, so it would be more difficult for them to make the leap to a Cumulus network OS like the others. Brocade has already started talking OpEx and automation, so they could have the go-to-market capabilities to go it alone, drafting on the shift in industry dialogue.
It's difficult to predict what will happen with any precision, but this partnership certainly has war rooms across the industry spun up today. Ultimately, these types of moves are good for customers, even if they make life a little chaotic on the vendor side for awhile.

HASTINGS, MI -- (Marketwire) -- 01/03/13 -- Hastings Mutual Insurance Company, a regional Property Casualty insurance carrier serving six states in the Midwest, was again awarded an A+ (Superior) financial strength rating from A.M. Best Company in 2012. This top rating is based on an independent evaluation by A.M. Best. The continued financial strength and performance of Hastings Mutual is highlighted in the affirmed rating.
"We are pleased that Hastings Mutual was again recognized by A.M. Best for superior capitalization and five-year operating results," said Joe Babiak, president and CEO of Hastings Mutual. "This rating allows our policyholders to rest assured, knowing Hastings Mutual will be there to fulfill the promises we make."
The rating affirmation reflects the company's superior capitalization with moderate underwriting leverage, a conservative investment risk profile, and favorable loss reserve development, as well as the five-year operating performance driven by solid investment income. These positive rating factors are derived from the company's long-standing agency relationships and the company's adherence to sound operating fundamentals.
Although Hastings Mutual's A+ (Superior) rating was affirmed, A.M. Best revised the outlook from stable to negative. The negative outlook is based on the company's geographic concentration and corresponding exposure to severe weather-related losses. In spite of less than favorable underwriting results and operating earnings due to storm losses, Hastings Mutual maintains a strong risk-adjusted capital position.
"Going forward, we have the challenge and the great opportunity to deliver more consistent profitability to Hastings Mutual's results in order to maintain our long tradition of excellent financial strength," said Babiak. "I have the utmost confidence that, together with our dedicated employees and outstanding independent agency partners, we will achieve this goal."
A.M. Best is among the most respected rating organizations. Now a global, full-service agency, A.M. Best has served the insurance industry for more than 113 years. Best's Financial Strength Rating is assigned exclusively to insurance companies based on financial strength and the ability to meet insurance policy contractual obligations.

There still is no official word about the ownership of the Storm Cat -- Welcome Surprise colt that brought $8 million at Keeneland's September yearling sale. But new details have emerged about plans for the handsome chestnut, which was purchased by a leading Japanese trainer, Hideyuki Mori, for an undisclosed client.September's most expensive horse ever sold is being boarded at Arthur B. Hancock III's Stone Farm near Paris, Ky. He is scheduled to begin the breaking process next week."He's a very nice colt that has a lot of sense, and he's doing great," Hancock said. "He has a paddock all to himself, and he likes to frolic around in there."In addition to the Storm Cat colt, two other horses purchased by Mori -- a $3.4-million Storm Cat -- Bless colt and a $1.8-million Seeking the Gold -- Angel Fever colt -- were sent to Stone Farm after they were sold at Keeneland. However, those two horses are now in quarantine awaiting shipment to Japan, according to Hancock.Hancock does not know where the Storm Cat colt will go after he is prepared for racing. The Stone Farm owner said he has been told to send all bills for the yearling to Mori.

Elizabeth was a Spanish princess who was given in marriage to King Denis of Portugal at the age of twelve. She was very beautiful and very lovable. She was also very devout, and went to Mass every day. Elizabeth was a holy wife, but although her husband was fond of her at first, he soon began to cause her great suffering. Though a good ruler, he did not imitate his wife's love of prayer and other virtues. In fact, his sins of impurity gave great scandle to the people.
Later, to make matters worse, the King believed a lie told about Elizabeth and one of her pages by another page, who was jealous of his companion. In great anger the King ordered the one he believed guilty, to be sent to a lime-burner. The lime-burner was commanded to throw into his furnace the first page who came. The good page set out obediently, not knowing death was waiting for him. On his way he stopped for Mass, since he had the habit of going daily. The first Mass had begun, so he stayed for a second one. In the meantime, the King sent the wicked page to the lime-burner to find out if the other had been killed. And so it was this page who was thrown into the furnace! When the King learned what had happened, he realized that God had saved the good page, punished the liar, and proven Queen Elizabeth to be innocent.
This amazing event helped greatly to make the King live better. He apologized to his wife in front of everyone and began to have a great respect for her. In his last sickness, she never left his side, except for Mass, until he died a holy death. St. Elizabeth lived for eleven more years, doing even greater charity and penance. She was a wonderful model of kindness toward the poor and a successful peacemaker between members of her own family and between nations.
Because St. Elizabeth was faithful to daily Mass, she found strength to carry her many great crosses. And because her page was faithful to daily Mass, he escaped death. We should try our best to make it a habit to go to Mass daily.

In his final season at Ole Miss, Laquon Treadwell totaled 1,153 yards and 11 touchdowns in 13 games, but the Minnesota Vikings' top draft pick says that wasn't the best he has to offer.
Treadwell told Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press he "wasn't 100 percent at all last season" after breaking his leg and dislocating his ankle in November 2014, noting that the soreness lingered into the draft process.
"I wasn't 100 percent in anything I did from the beginning of spring ball [in 2015] to pro day [at Mississippi on March 28]," Treadwell said, per Tomasson. "I was playing on one leg my whole junior season. Last year wasn't fun, going out and being hurt and trying to play."
However, Treadwell says he's now fully healthy as he enters his first NFL training camp, and as such, he's setting his goals high.
"My expectations for myself is to start,"' Treadwell told Tomasson. "I don't hold myself to low standards at all by any means. So when I get to start, helping the team win, try to win Rookie of the Year. Pro Bowl. Super Bowl."
Treadwell spent offseason workouts with the No. 2 offense behind Stefon Diggs and Charles Johnson, but ESPN's Ben Goessling pegged the rookie as a starter alongside Diggs come Week 1.
