When it Comes to Social Networking, Think Small
In an increasingly competitive economic environment, finding a job means tapping into your old connections and finding new ones. Lauryn Franzoni, VP of ExecuNet, an online community for executives, talks about how to land a position through social networks.
What are some underused social networking sites and how can people use them?
For professionals, large social networks provide a place to build a mini website, but a growing number of niche networks are quietly helping members develop productive professional relationships. They are tough to find and you should focus on growing those relationships over years not just months while in job search. I was a member of ExecuNet before I joined the company and I can't think of many other places where senior level leaders can make better connections to help advance their career and business interests.
Is there anything job seekers should consider before joining another social network?
The best and often most underused networks are ones created around a functional talent or expertise and which offer an environment where the members can be easily introduced and able communicate without being bombarded with irrelevant emails. Many of the best are coming out of trade association activities or have individual ring leaders who keep the connections going and help remind members of others in the group.
What are some common mistakes people often make when using online networks?
Don't confuse networking with keeping a contact database current. Networking is not about the number of people you are connected to, the real value is in the number of meaningful connections you have. For example, 87% of the executives we've surveyed say successful executives have a wide network of meaningful connections and rate their personal networks as one of the top three factors in their success. Too many times people have thousands of contacts, but don't know how to leverage them.
How many hours per week should one spend on social networking sites when job-hunting?
Professionals can be lulled into investing countless hours on the Internet without generating any real return. Using social networks is a great way to stay connected and enhance your online brand, but it should not replace traditional networking. Our research shows that 56% of all executive-level candidates hired last year were identified through traditional networking.
How can unemployed job seekers keep from sounding overeager online?
Know your contact. Don't blast generic emails touting your skills and announcing your availability.
Is there anything else job seekers need to keep in mind?
Stay as–or more–informed about the trends and events in your field than when you were still working. Participate in relevant discussion groups online, read blogs and be sure to attend events whenever possible. The worst thing you can do is hunker down and assume that emailing replies to job ads will land you your next position. Once that job is posted on a job board, your reply is going in with hundreds of competitors.

Let's roll
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
"Let's roll" is a colloquialism that has been used extensively as a command to move and start an activity, attack, mission or project.
Pre–September 11, 2001 usage[edit]
The phrase may have its origins as early as 1908 in the cadence song now called "The Army Goes Rolling Along", which likely extended into tank usage. "The Roads Must Roll", a science fiction story written in 1940 by Robert A. Heinlein, mentions a re-worded version of "The Roll of the Caissons" called "Road Songs of the Transport Cadets". The protagonist of the 1937 supernatural comedy, Topper, played by Cary Grant uses the phrase "Let's roll" to his wife, played by Constance Bennett, to indicate they should immediately exit their friend's stuffy office and find a drink. The pair are lighthearted, youthful, irresponsible and impossibly glamorous types, and the line delivery has a decisive insouciance about it. The protagonist of Ernest Hemingway's 1950 novel Across the River and into the Trees, Colonel Dick Cantwell, based on World War II commander Charles "Buck" Lanham, uses the phrase to his driver. He knows he is facing imminent death, but tries to maintain decency, grace, and a sense of humor. The verb "roll" has been used in both the film and recording industry to signal the beginning of a film or audio recording. "Let's roll" was in common use on 1950s and 1960s police television series such as Adam-12 and (the original) Dragnet. It was used at the end of roll call at the beginning of each episode of 1980s TV series Hill Street Blues. It has appeared, among other places, in The Transformers animated series by Optimus Prime before entering battle or embarking on a group journey. The exact phrase was used in Season 1, Episode 3 "More than Meets the Eye" (1984) in preparation for the final showdown with Megatron and the Decepticons (as well as in the 2009 feature film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen). In the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas set in 1992, the main character, "CJ" Carl Johnson frequently uses the term "Let's Roll" when he attempts to accomplish a certain mission. It was used in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and the 1987 film Matewan, where it was used by Baldwin–Felts agents just before a violent attack on striking coal miners. The term was used at the end of the film Matilda when the title character was given up for adoption. The toys use the phrase when setting out to rescue Woody in the 1999 animated children's film Toy Story 2. In the late 1990s, the term "let's roll" was frequently used to initiate a departure from any given place. Hence, the term and true context of the term "let's roll" during this time period was to initiate action from an individual to a group of friends.
Flight 93[edit]
Todd Beamer, a passenger on the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93, tried to place a credit card call through a phone located on the back of a plane seat but was routed to a customer-service representative instead, who passed him on to supervisor Lisa Jefferson. Beamer reported that one passenger was killed and, later, that a flight attendant had told him the pilot and co-pilot had been forced from the cockpit and may have been wounded. He was also on the phone when the plane made its turn in a southeasterly direction, a move that had him briefly panicking. Later, he told the operator that some of the plane's passengers were planning to attack the hijackers and take control of the aircraft. According to Jefferson, Beamer's last audible words were "Are you ready? Okay. Let's roll."[1]
Cultural impact[edit]
- Several musicians and bands have written songs entitled or including the phrase "Let's Roll", with the songs typically referring to Flight 93 or Todd Beamer. The first song with the name, Neil Young's "Let's Roll", was released as a single in November 2001, and was later included in his album Are You Passionate?. The following year, three diverse groups released songs: hard rock group L.A. Guns included "OK, Let's Roll" in their album Waking the Dead, country music duo The Bellamy Brothers's song "Let's Roll, America" was on Redneck Girls Forever, and Christian rock group dc Talk recorded and released a single entitled "Let's Roll" despite being on hiatus.
- Three other 9/11-related songs by the name "Let's Roll" have been released in the following years. Montreal rock band The Stills's song was included on their debut album Logic Will Break Your Heart in 2003. Jonny L's song included a sample of President George W. Bush's 2002 State of the Union address which included the phrase. In 2004, Ray Stevens offered up the self-penned "Let's Roll" and referenced Todd Beamer in the lyrics. Stevens' recording appeared on his 2004 Thank You! CD. The recording later appeared on his 2005 Box Set project and on his 2010 We the People project.
- Melissa Etheridge's 2004 song "Tuesday Morning", written in honor of Flight 93 passenger Mark Bingham, concluded with the phrase, "Let's roll".
- In 2011, American rapper Yelawolf released a song called "Let's Roll", which talks about Southern patriotism.
- The phrase became especially known and popular after being used by President George W. Bush in a speech to AmeriCorps volunteers and during his 2002 State of the Union address. Even though the phrase was in common use long before September 11, many soon tried to lay claim to it as a trademark. The Todd M. Beamer Foundation was eventually granted a trademark for uses of the phrase relating to "pre-recorded compact discs, audio tapes, digital audio tapes, and phonograph records featuring music."
- In early 2002, United States Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John P. Jumper ordered that one airplane in each USAF squadron and all USAF demonstration planes would bear an image of an eagle on an American flag with the words "Let's Roll" and "Spirit of 9-11," to remain until the first anniversary of the attack. It was also used by Lisa Beamer, widow of Todd, in a 2003 book titled Let's Roll: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Courage.[2]
- In the 2002 college football season, the Florida State Seminoles used "Let's Roll" as their official team slogan. After an initial uproar against the team by people who considered its usage in bad taste, the Todd M. Beamer Foundation officially licensed the trademark to the team.
- Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard has the inscription "Lets Roll" on the back of his goalie helmet in reference to Flight 93.[3]
- The phrase was also used in an episode of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm ("The Survivor", season 4, episode 9). The show's main character, Larry David, says the phrase inadvertently to his rabbi once he and his wife are ready to go out and renew their vows, who then becomes offended because of a relative of his died on September 11, 2001 ("You knew my brother-in-law died on September 11th, how dare you say something like that?!"). Larry takes issue with this, as his rabbi's relative was hit by a bike messenger ("Well, with all due respect, wasn't that just a coincidence?"), in an incident completely unrelated to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
- The phrase appears in the 2009 British black comedy satire film, In The Loop. One British character says to another, "Let's roll." To which the other replies; "You can't say that here, they don't like that."
- Bobby Labonte drove a 9/11 tribute car with the words "Let's Roll" on the hood of his stock car.
- The phrase was used in the film: Let's Roll - The Story of Flight 93, which is a dramatised reconstruction of United Airlines flight 93.
- "Let's Roll!" was the 2004 campaign slogan of the Marijuana Party of Canada. The New Zealand band Fly My Pretties released a song about marijuana titled "Let's Roll" the same year.

- The application for undergraduate admission and all supporting documentation must be on file before November 15, to receive priority scholarship consideration. Applicants who receive an early admission status after the November 15 priority deadline, and before the final scholarship deadline of February 15, will be considered for remaining awards. Applicants who are awarded during the priority scholarship round and raise their scholarship levels prior to the final scholarship deadline, will be considered for an increase to the appropriate award levels prior to second round awards being made.
- The national February ACT exam scores are the last results accepted for scholarship consideration.
- For University Honors Scholarships, applicants must have an early admission standing and submit an essay prior to the December 1 deadline, for interview consideration. An applicant who is chosen for interview and selected to participate in University Honors will receive a qualifying academic scholarship award bundled with a University Honors Stipend ranging from $2,000 to $6000 annually.
After you've applied
Once awarded, all scholarship recipients must be admitted to the main campus with a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file before a scholarship will be credited to a student's account. All additional information requested by the Financial Aid Office must be submitted by December 1, in order to meet the aid application requirements for second semester renewal.
Scholarship awards are subject to Arkansas Department of Higher Education Scholarship Stacking Policy, Arkansas Act 1180 of 1999.

A new perspective on population aging
|Date received:

|Word count:
|age/aging, historical demography, life expectancy, median age, population forecasting, prospective age
In Sanderson and Scherbov (2005) we introduced a new forward-looking definition of age and argued that its use, along with the traditional backward-looking concept of age, provides a more informative basis upon which to discuss population aging. Age is a measure of how many years a person has already lived. In contrast, our new approach to measuring age is concerned about the future.
In this paper, we first explore our new age measure in detail and show, using an analytic formulation, historical data, and forecasts, that it is, in most cases, insensitive to whether it is measured using period or cohort life tables. We, then, show, using new forward-looking definitions of median age and the old age dependency ratio, how combining the traditional age concept and our new one enhances our understanding of population aging.

The making of Zootopia Apr 14 2016
From Fusion, a 45-minute documentary about the making of Zootopia.
Fusion spent two years with the production team of Disney's smash hit film. In 'Imagining Zootopia,' you will travel with the team to Africa to explore the animals in their natural habitat and find out how the storytellers and animators dealt with the very real themes of prejudice and bias.
I found this via Khoi Vinh, who writes:
A lot of careful thought went into how to render the emotional truth behind experiencing racism, and the documentary takes a detailed look at the filmmakers grappling with that. However, it also betrays one of the unfortunate truths of the production; the movie is commendably bold about addressing prejudice, but it's evident from watching the documentary that of the five-hundred plus people who contributed to the film, hardly any were non-white, and even fewer were African-American.
For a criticism of Zootopia's racial allegory, read Devin Faraci's A Muddled Mess of Racial Messaging... And Cute Animals.

Finding bliss in the Cederbergs
After a very bumpy (7km or so) ride taking us deep into the hills and valleys of the Cederberg Mountains, I was beyond thrilled to arrive at Gecko Creek Lodge. If you're looking to get closer to nature, this is the place.
I watched sun fall snugly between the mountains from my tent (pictured here). You can bring your own tent but we opted for Gecko's, complete with two twin beds and bedding. They also have wood cabins with hammocks swaying out front (and I can only imagine how amazing they must be, under the thousands of twinkly stars at night!)
With a swimming pool, hiking trails to wander, a nearby river, and a lapa and boma (dining/cooking area) for mingling with the other guests there was no shortage of activities, even at such a small property.
What I found most surprising was the North American timber wolf named Hoka living on the premises. Somewhat domesticated, he was free to roam during the day and kept on a lead at twilight. It added a really interesting and wild dynamic to the quite, blissful experience at this lodge.

Rocket Knight Hands-On Preview
How does Sparkster's big comeback fare? So far, so good. Check out new impressions and direct feed footage.
Sure, Rocket Knight stars 16-bit mascot hopeful Sparkster and his rival Axel Gear, but it's being developed by Americans and Europeans rather than any of the Japanese staff behind the Super NES and Genesis trilogy. And it has 3D graphics, which lack the retro look of the old sprites and bitmaps. And it's downloadable, which is usually code for "crap." So really, how good could Rocket Knight possibly be?
Actually, the answer turns out to be "pretty good." The real proof is in the playing, and having put Sparkster through his paces with my own hands, I've gone from being warily hopeful about the game to positively enthusiastic. Rocket Knight feels right; the controls are responsive and tight, despite the move to polygons and the hero's expanded move set. It doesn't feel 100% like the 16-bit games, but it works nevertheless, in much the same way that (for instance) New Super Mario Bros. Wii doesn't feel exactly like Super Mario Bros. 3 but plays great anyway.
Overcoming this tricky problem of "feel" is probably the most crucial component of making a retro revival work. The feel of a game isn't something that comes through in screenshots or even videos, and it's all about subtle little details -- a split-second of lag here, a button layout quirk there -- that can be hard to pin down precisely. Yet it's no less important for all its vagueness. And upon starting a new game of Rocket Knight, it become immediately clear that the development team at Climax has invested a lot of thought into making its hero responsive in all the ways that matter. Sparkster feels just right, which is to say that controlling him feels instantly familiar the first time you pick up the controller. He has an expansive array of moves -- jumping, slashing, shooting, spinning, air-dashing, and more -- and all of them work smoothly and intuitively.
The second-nature feel of the controls fits what appears to be a sincere homage to classic action games. Rocket Knight seems like a fairly compact game; I cleared the three stages that comprise the first of its four worlds in about half an hour. But like so many 8- and 16-bit classics, Rocket Knight is designed to encourage replay, with conscious thought put into speed runs and score attacks. Completing a level in arcade mode (a linear sequence of levels featuring limited lives and continues) makes that stage available in the unrestricted free play mode. Also, defeating the world one boss in a specific fashion opens up a hard mode in which enemies are twice as numerous and considerably deadlier. And of course, there are the obligatory online leaderboards and achievements by which to judge your performance as well.
The presentation is carefully crafted to feel old-school as well. Sure, it's all in high-resolution 3D with depth of field effects and all those other modern niceties, but Rocket Knight's stages are tied together by simple pantomime sequences that create effective segues from one scenario to the next. The game begins with Sparkster -- long since having retired from the hero business -- tending to his garden when he sees his former homeland come under attack by airships. He puts on his old armor and flies into action, leaving his family behind as he dashes into the first stage, and the action begins. The levels themselves tell the story, too; Sparkster enters the first stage to witness pig and wolf NPCs battling it out as opossum citizens run for cover, a sort of callback to the intro stage of Mega Man X. The levels change in tone as Sparkster advances, beginning with rustic tree houses that slowly give way to steampunk technology and polluted water mucking up the forest. In particular, the hero's clashes with Axel link the stages: Level one ends with Axel flying away into a fortress, which leads into the auto-scrolling aerial combat of stage two as Sparkster gives pursuit, a chase that ends with a face-off between the two rocket knights. And once you beat the boss of level three, cowardly Axel takes unjust credit for the victory, leaving Sparkster to dust himself off and jet off in search of the real culprits. All of this transpires without a word of dialogue.
But back to the feel of the game. Sparkster's moves are closely patterned after his skill set from the 16-bit days, a mix of capabilities from all three of the previous games. His sword is capable of both short-range melee attacks and firing a burst of energy; the latter depletes a slowly-charging meter which also determines his ability to use a jet boost dash attack. Rocket's actions can be controlled simply with the face buttons, but in a nice touch the energy attack and dash boost can be activated with the L and R triggers, respectively, leaving your right thumb free to focus on jumping and launching short-range attacks: The bread-and-butter of action platforming.
The real star of the game is the dash boost. While present in the previous adventures, boosting was a double-edged sword. It was addictive and exhilarating, but the levels were designed in an almost punitive fashion: Unless you knew each stage's layout by heart, dashing was a quick ticket to an untimely death. Rocket Knight's level design, on the other hand, is designed to encourage the use of dashing, both as an offensive skill and as a means of exploration. Sparkster can dash in eight directions, ricochet off walls, and perform a spinning attack by dashing while the controller is in a neutral position. Dashing while grasping a rail causes him to spin around the rail, which can then be used to boost into a super high jump for extra height. In addition to boosting, Sparkster's rocket pack can be used to hover briefly (similar to Klonoa and Yoshi's Island) by pressing the jump button a second time at the peak of a jump. By combining hovering and dashing, it's possible to careen about the stages while rarely touching the ground -- or, in areas with extensive networks of rails, without touching down at all. There are also tricky power-ups and collectibles placed in dangerous, out-of-the-way areas that require the use of combination maneuvers to acquire.
In short, Rocket Knight combines diverse, empowering controls and interesting level design to create an extremely fast-paced, kinetic action game. What I played was somewhat on the easy side, but those were admittedly the intro stages -- and for those who like their platformers in the brutal, old-school tradition, the unlockable hard mode seems to fit the bill nicely. The game is packed with little details (like the ability to bat explosives back at enemies in order to defeat them), and all in all it comes off as a sincere tribute to a largely forgotten niche of videogaming. Rocket Knight doesn't currently have a specific release date beyond "early 2010," but whenever it shows up, I'm eager to see if Climax and Konami can build on the potential contained in these first few levels.

oh hell yes!Posted: Jan 06, 2010 12:00AM PST by ThaliaFemmeFatale
i luvd this game as a kid! and cant wait for it to come out on XBLA. brings back memories...
Excellent!Posted: Dec 22, 2009 12:00AM PST by Rigamortize
The style is very nice and it's brought into the 3d realm in a way that makes me actually want to play it! The gamplay looks exciting and fastpaced which is always a draw to me. I really can't wait to see how well this game comes out!
presentationPosted: Dec 18, 2009 12:00AM PST by th3chosenon3
the game looks very artistic. i enjoyed the classic rocket knight, and like many, was skeptical of the mention of this DLC reenvisioning. after seeing some gameplay, however, this looks like it will be one solid platforming title. it's good to know, that in a world where FPS and RPG games have become static and quite mundane, one can now go back to these re-envisioned type platformers for quality, and fun, gaming.
Nice.Posted: Dec 17, 2009 12:00AM PST by MagFlare
I was a frequent renter of the original Genesis game back in the day, and I was a bit skeptical when I saw the first screenshots -- frankly, it looked a little too Banjo-Kazooie for me. But, hey, I was wrong. Rocket Knight looks stunning in motion.
First-day buyer over here.
I'm soooooo going to buy this game.Posted: Dec 17, 2009 12:00AM PST by Phostings
I'm such a huge fan of the first rocket knight game. I'm know I'm going to enjoy this once its downloadable. But my only concern about the game is the music. If it wasn't for the music rocket knight wouldn't be as fun to play. I hear who ever arranged the music this time used more of an orchestrated sound and change some of the progressions. I say just update the instruments and keep the progressions the same. I truly think everyone agrees. But this only applies to the people who grew up with the sega genesis and the game itself. If you don't agree with what I'm saying then play the emulation and you'll see what I mean,lol. Can't wait!
Looks pretty good so farPosted: Dec 17, 2009 12:00AM PST by zidan
Just dug up the SNES game recently and was a bit surprised at how much fun the game is. Not to mention the music, which is still catchy after all these years. Looking forward to it and hope it comes out at a good price point.
WOWPosted: Dec 17, 2009 12:00AM PST by WordOfMouf
Cant believe they are bringing back this classic this is to good to be true, now if capcom would only bring back darkstalkers
They'll get my moneyPosted: Dec 17, 2009 12:00AM PST by Dectilon
I'm still unsure about some of the choices for the sound and graphics (specifically the wolf soldier death sound and the streak of blue in the ranged attacks), but the gameplay looks genuinely fun. I doubt it'll be as good as the original RKA, but then again, few games are of that caliber. Good show!
Nice GraphicsPosted: Dec 17, 2009 12:00AM PST by Pacario
Unlike the somewhat uninspired graphics in New Super Mario Bros., Rocket Knight's graphics are lush, have a great sense of scope, and are filled with personality and style. Of course, the action looks awesome, too. If only all developers put this much effort into their presentation.
Looking forward to this onePosted: Dec 17, 2009 12:00AM PST by discord_inc
It good to know that the game is trying to capture the feel of the old games without simply going through the motions. Can't wait until this game actually comes out.
I love RK, but this looks uuuuuugly....Posted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by Kobold
Why does it look so very bad? Those environments are uber generic and not steampunk-y at all, the colour palette is terrible, and the new Sparkster design looks nasty. They must have tried really hard not to make him cute (with terrible results).
I'm ecstatic that they are making a new Rocket Knight, but I REALLY hope they fix the graphics before they release this. (And the music has to be good too.)
What about the music?Posted: Oct 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by Nekojin
The original Rocket Knight Adventures had some ICONIC music. I can still remember and hum the first stage music and boss battle music at any time. Please tell me they're doing what they did with re-armed and remixing/reimagening the classic tunes!
@emperorPosted: Oct 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by deny_everything
don't tease me with Aero the Acrobat.
and these sort of games are great as a 2nd string to your A-list titles. i miss good platformers and am glad to see that (as DL games at least) they are on the rise. i can only FPS or 3PA (third person action) for so long.
Meh....Posted: Oct 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by EmperorSamoth
Pardon me for my lack of enthusiasm, but first Bonk and now this one? What's next? Aero the Acrobat? Oh, that's right... Sunsoft is dead anyways.

Ahhh the good ol days, anyone remember when "2.5D started with Clockwork Knight for the Sega saturn?
RKAPosted: Oct 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by Dectilon
I'm not entirely sure I agree with the designer when it comes to the jetpack being dangerous though. Yes, in Sparkster for SNES (an okay, but definitely inferior game) you'd often end up crashing headlong into enemies if you used the jetpack too much, but for some reason this didn't happen nearly as often in RKA. Why? A combination of level design, enemy design and how the mechanics worked. In RKA you could bounce off of any kind of spike trap when rocketing, and there were almost no crusher traps. Rocketing into enemies made you either go straight through them, bounce off them a decent distance or make you go into the swordspin animation in which you were almost invulnerable. Also, many enemies spawned in rather than them already being there when you come falling back down after a diagonal rocket jump. In Sparkster that wasn't the case, and you'd constantly fall into smaller enemies.
Very nice!Posted: Oct 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by MrToffee
I can't make heads or tails on how it'll be in motion, but I'm already hyped. I've played Rocket Knight Adventures to death on my Sega Megadrive. The level design, the Gradius-inspired segments, the cute little animations and details, just hitting a pig and seeing him running off in his underwear: it all adds up to one of the best games in my list.
COOOL!!!Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by franwex
I really liked this game! Damn! Has it really been 15 years since I played it???
The only thing that sucks it's that it's not sprites. I would have preferred the Megaman 9 route. But hopefully it'll be as good as the original ones for the SNES and Genesis!
It's Back!Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by MindlessBullet
I remember playing this on the Sega Genesis when I was seven. The game was so damn fun, and I ended up playing it for hours. I'll be definitely download this just for the nostalgia.
Why is the art so TERRIBLE?!Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by Sonicbug
Me, this morning. OH! A NEW ROCKET KNIGHT ADVENTURES IN HD! All right!
*clicks link*
*throws up*
This looks horrible. Horrible! It looks nothing like the original genesis game! (Giant trees, what? Where's the steampunk? Where's the mecha?) It looks like shovelware! Cheap, generic, ugly shovelware. Kids today are going to look at this and laugh, and fans of the original genesis game like me are just pissed off.
Tom, what the hell man?!?! Please order some better artists on this!
OMG HE'S BACK!Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by Sparky916
Rocket Knight Adventures on the Sega Genesis is without a doubt one of my top 10 games of all time, and oh man... I thought it was just an obscure title that nobody else really knew about or cared about. Seeing this revival has made my day and I am so happy that Konami is deciding to bring this title and character back. I'm always happy with what comes from Konami, and I hope that this doesn't disappoint; I care too much about Sparkster to see him come back from the shadows just to flop.
Konami, you're messing with my childhood here! Don't fail me!
ps- Thank you for bringing Sparkster back =)
Also sparkster.....Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by Cube
Also sparkster on SNES and genesis are like there own games.
The sparkster SNES is like the first rocket knight game.
The genesis sparkster focased on speed (for the sonic fans) and you could not shoot with your sword it worked like castlevania whiping his rocketpack charged automatic and faster.
Both had levels set in almost the same setting but with layouts of there own, some levels exlcusive. Both was awsome not at all the same they should have just titled them each there own like konami did with there tiny toons games and contra.
So if konami put them out again they would have to put out both sparkster games.. I keep rocket knight games on a shelf in plain view I never forgot them.
There was only one rocket knight adventures though on genesis and it ruled the art and music on both was also some of the best.
I Might have to buy this new game on PC ps3 xbox360 just to help sales...
@smafPosted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by ibanezdropd
I actually think the game looks great. Of course there is always room for improvement, but you are just being overly negative. Do you have anything productive to say?
Damn.Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by Velma_Dinkley
Why is all the art ugly as all hell and completely unfaithful to the originals? What's with the massive ****ing blurring in the background and why does everyone look about one centimeter tall? Why are the particles so ugly and completely clash with everything else? Damn, this is disappointing.
sooo sweet...Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by wolfgang12
I have Rocket Knight Adventures for the Genny (ie, the good version), and it is truly amazing. I am a lil' saddened to see it go the 2.5d route, but, hell, it's still going to be sweet! Let the swine slaughtering BEGIN!
Finally!Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by Ruffini_the_dog
I think I can die a happy gamer now.... I just hope they ignored what a steaming pile Rocket Knight 2 was and just iterate and improving on the first one.....
Project Needlemouse/new Sonic...Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by MOBIUSfuture
...has some competiton. This is a good thing for 2D. I like what one of the developers of Shadow Complex said in an interview with Play magazine. He said he hopes other designers play Shadow Complex and then say to themselves that they can do it even better. I really hope we are at the beggining of a genuine 2D comeback on home consoles. 2D is not inferior to 3D and there's no reason why 2D shouldn't share a bigger part of the market alongside 3D. Things are coming full circle.
LamePosted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by CruncherNumb
Sparkster, the Super NES version of this game was superior in pretty much every way. Music, Graphics, and just the general action feel were sooo good on the SNES! The cell shaded feel of the characters in this remake doesn't work. Much like the unfortunate the recent Turtles in Time remake travesty, it seems like they may be on their way to giving us another lame update on a much beloved classic franchise. What would work for this series is using the latest Ratchet & Clank next gen console engine. Keep the cool music, and graphics - Scrap the cell shading, or don't bother!
re: JeffreyPosted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by Brandone
"I'm not aware of anything in the company's history that suggests tight, old school 2d game design is one of their strengths"
It will comfort you to know, at least, that Tomm Hulett is one of the guys who gave us the awesome Contra 4. It's in good hands.
Tentatively excitedPosted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by hakengaken
The original Rocket Knight Adventures remains one of the great, lost masterpieces of the 16 bit era. Easily as good as anything Treasure ever did. But remember, the sequels were no where near as good as the original. Also, while I wish Climax good luck (as I for one really want the game to turn out great), I'm not aware of anything in the company's history that suggests tight, old school 2d game design is one of their strengths. Still, I can't help but be excited for a new Rocket Knight game.
YESSSSS!!!!Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by Roundtree X
HAHA! And Jeremiah I agree with EVERYTHING you just siad, but I wouldn't mind RNA being remade like this. But the classic on PSN/XBLA is fine too, I just hope they do it or make it an unlockable....
Hahaha!Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by BlazingAero
Sparkster returns. Didn't think I'd see the day. I played the original two games on Genesis - especially the first, Rocket Knight Adventures. It was an amazingly unique platformer that made you think a little differently than with most games. At a time when Sonic was on the verge of decline, Sparkster took the formula and added a jetpack for bit more control and precision to the fast, zany movements, while letting you use it to pummel enemies and bounce off of walls.
Good stuff. Will buy this, for sure.
Thumbs up.Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by deny_everything
Never played the old games, but I love the style. I hope there is some multi-player action to it though. The main reason why I got Bionic Commando Rearmed was the co-op/multiplayer option to it. Even if it is a great game, it just won't compete with full-titles for solo play. I hope they follow suit with this one as well.
Something's off with the graphicsPosted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by jngx80
Did all the characters get shrunken or something? It definitely looks off - whether it's the camera, small sprites vs. environments, or just the over simplified graphics - it doesn't look like a Rocket Knight game.

A welcome return!Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by Layman_Shaman
Wow. I LOVED the original RKA on Genesis. I remember reading a preview (in EGM no less!) and being desperate to get my hands on this game. I'll never forget seeing for myself the level where you have to navigate Sparkster through a series of platforms using his reflection on the lava pool below. I had read about it, and it seemed pretty fvckin' awesome. And it was! My first favorite games were Konami's Super Castlevania IV and Contra III on SNES (yes, I was one of those brats that had both SNES and Genesis, but I ain't braggin' or nuthin') and the hype on this game was that it followed suit. It definitely did. This brings to mind the resurrection of another of my favorites from the 16 bit era, Gunstar Heroes, that was released on PSN this summer. I'm very excited to play this Rocket Knight sequel but in the interim I have a request; how about releasing the original RKA on the PSN and XBLA to whet our appetites?!
Holy crapPosted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by AHistoryofGaming
No way! I loved Rocket Knight Adventures for the Genesis. I didn't think many other people were into it as well. This is random awesomeness.
Well, I'm thrilled.Posted: Oct 05, 2009 12:00AM PST by Brandone
I had a lot of fun with the first Rocket Knight I played (I don't recall which one it was anymore) and this has been a long time coming. I'm fond of the graphics, too, even if they aren't sprites, which will probably upset at least one fan.
And if nothing else, I've got great fondness for Sparkster because he was my introduction to Gradius, a series I dearly love.

Myocardial Revascularization: No Immediate Benefit Seen
Two reports by investigators at the University of Minnesota Medical School suggest that there is no immediate benefit to the ischemic heart from myocardial revascularization.While the long-term value of revascularization is generally recognized, its immediate influence on myocardial blood flow remains in question.Some investigators have reported apparent immediate benefit by flow from a bleeding implant into the myocardial sinusoids. Others have denied that there is any blood flow from the implant prior to the development of collateral circulation.There is some experimental evidence that suggests vein graft implants into the myocardium provide some degree of immediate revascularization. On the other hand, dogs studied within 24 hours after mammary artery implant did not demonstrate communication with myocardial vessels (Archives of Surgery94:747 [June] 1967).Since a source of immediate augmentation of blood supply to the ischemic heart would be of great

Hi there people,
Basically as the title states really... Edit 'Find and Replacer' plugin to auto edit pages when a post is created?
I've searched about for ages and discovered something called a 'cron job' but other than that im screwed. I would like this 'find and replacer' plugin to automatically detect a string of text/code on a new post and remove/amend it. Or scan all the latest posts automatically on a schedule.
Anyone know how i could do this?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Figured you guys would know...
I have found a used 220 v 3-phase oven that I would like to use in my shop. The problem is that I only have 220v single phase. Without going to a phase converter is there a way I can run the oven off of single-phase by re-wiring the heating elements? IOW...how would I reconnect to single phase to not overload the elements but also give me the heat I need?
(Oh, even though I'm fairly electrical-challenged I did some homework and learned that there are two basic ways 3-phase elements are wired, star and delta. I just don't have enough knowledge of AC circuits to figure out how to swap the elements or if it's even feasible.)
I rewired an infrared 220 3 phase heater. it had three elements. one between L1-L2, one between L2-L3, and one between L1-L3, Yours is likely the same.
I ran three single phase 220 circuits, one to each element, worked fine.
Good info. I did some more homework and it looks like I could do this but my amperage would go up 1.73X (sqrt 3) as much.
How about this idea- after I rewire to single phase can I run three breakers, one for each element, and then turn each on one at a time so that I don't spike my power? I have 200 amp service to my shop and each breaker would be 50 amps. The unit as 3-phase is 30KW at 220V for a 3-phase amperage of about 79 amps. With single phase I would be looking at about 137 amps, hence the three 50 amp breakers. How practical is this in a home shop?
The other question... each element sees the same voltage but what about the same power and will it kill my elements?
It all depends on how they are wired. It may or may not be easy to rewire. Open the case and look. Even if they are delt wound (forming a triangle), you may get 2/3 of power from them.
I'll defer to the electrical gurus that will chime in...
start with the basics. measure the resistance of a single element. Divide into 220 to get amps. V=I*R V/R=I. That's a big heater, you may want to run only two elements.

Careful here. Make sure it's not 'center tapped` , Wye connected Thats 120V. per coil. If so 240V. will fry it. But it can be wired for separate 120V. Lines. If the coils are wired delta, phase to phase then, If it's 3 Phase, and t's sized at 208V. Design is : 10 KW. , 40 A. / Coil What you are supplying is 240V., so you'll get : 11.5 KW. , 46A. / Coil.
firstname.lastname@example.com wrote:
The first thing to do is determine if the elements are wired in Delta or Wye (Star). Either way it will not be too hard to convert. You also need to find out what control is on the oven. It the elements are in a Delta setup you will have to rewire the elements so each element is in parallel with the other. If the elements are in a Wye configuration you will need a neutral wire to attach to the centertap of the Wye and tie two of the high legs together and feed 220 across the single high leg and the other set of two legs that are tied together. You could put separate circuit breakers on each leg. One thing is that the neutral conductor has to carry the current of two elements as should be sized accordingly. Do not put a breaker or disconnect switch in the neutral wire circuit.
None of the above will work with proprotional control circuits, semiductor switching power control.
On Aug 18, 1:30?pm, firstname.lastname@example.com wrote:
First of all determine if the heater elements are 220v or 110 volts. If they are 220 your unit is probably wired delta. If 110 volts then WYE. They are marked somewhere. Also determine the KW rating of each heater element.
Remove all the wiring.
If the elements are 220 then wire each individually to a 2 pole 220 volt breaker. No neutral needed.
If 110 volts then wire each individually to a single pole 110 volt breaker. A neutral will be needed.
As another said watch out for the neutrals. If you end up wiring for 110 volts make sure you wire them to alternate hotlegs of the 220 single phase in your panel. Don't make the neutral wiring smaller than any 110 volt wiring.
Also any wiring within the heater must be, HPN I believe it the word, IOW high temperature rated. And the terminals on the heaters also heat rated. (I am not up on the wire and terminal types.)
I am guessing here but I would imagine that this heater is too much for the 220 single phase service you have to your shop. An upgrade might be in order.
Bob AZ
Yes, I agree. It is important to determine if the elements are for 220V or 110V (3 phase makes it 08V live to live), it makes a big difference. From a different angle, 137 A power draw may be a little high for a typical home. You may need to make sure your main breaker can take it.
Opportunities are never lost. The other fellow takes those you miss.

Star and delta is a start. Where I used to work we ran die heaters on 460v so you ended up with some heaters in series and in then in delta.
You need to diagram your current wiring configuration. Depending on how many variations to deal with differing voltage supplies at customers they (manufacturer) may have used there could be something strange in there.
Considering the 137A I doubt any allowances to rewire for 120v was in the design so I bet each element segment is 220v
My bet is that it is delta but it is only a hunch.
E=IR P=IE Resistance tends to increase with temperature in most materials.
BTW, what is the internal size of this thing? How hot does it get? What kind of control?

I don't know if I'll be back for good. I just felt really nostalgic for my very first online community. I bitched and moaned and basically went out all emo back in the day, but wow, I had no idea. But hey, I got a little perspective now, and I'll try not to bring people down on my first post back in ages.
I should definitely look back into writing blogs again. Maybe not daily, maybe not weekly, not on a schedule, but just like the old days. Just when had to share stuff and put it out in the open.
Now this may include more whiny emoness, but I'll try and spare you guys that much. Maybe instead, I can post stories of more game related things as this blog intended. Hell, I've been playing a lot of Guild Wars 2. Buddha knows I got a story or two to tell you guys from there.
Speaking of which, if you guys are playing Guild Wars 2, I'm on Anvil Rock. My main character is Alydril. Whisper me if you want. Running a guild on there, too. Technically, I'm not the founder: That would be the other leader who started it back in GW1. He's leader for 2 as well, but I've taken care of most of the logistics and stuff.
And I'm kind of 20 levels over most of the others ^^;
Maybe I'll see you guys in Tyria. Or just here on 1up. Or on my DevArt page. Whatever you guys want.
Cheers, folks.

Will anything on this earth stop "many countries" from censoring their press?
I think it is necessary to fight for political change on numerous ways..
everything which creates insight helps.
i like it, but it would piss me off if i didn't realize that it's basically a sharpie before ruining my book/paper.
Done before! and awarded. Bronze Lion.
get real man. good you put an url to proove everybody what an ass you are :p
done before? come on bartwhite, try harder on reading english on the big jpg. the only thing in common: censorship. what next? you say done before because somebody displays a car?
because bart doesnt get the concept. but i guess hes good at photoshop or drawing. or he has the first season of madmen on dvd.
great idea itself to make peaople upset about censorship by making them censor what's important to them. but the execution could have been done better. the marker itself shouldn't reveal its "secret" that quick, its almost obvious. and spreading this as a guerilla-tool at press conferences would have caught more attention and maybe even get media coverage. bad cd work. they should've known.

Picturing the literary history of word processing.
When did individual writers begin to use word processors? As I began work on a literary history of word processing, I found it difficult to establish a time line. Sometimes writers kept a sales record—a word processor or computer would have represented a significant investment, especially back in the day. Other times, as with Stanley Elkin or Isaac Asimov, the arrival of the computer was of such seismic importance as to justify its own literary retellings. But most of the time there were no real records documenting exactly when a writer had gotten his or her first computer, and so I had to rely on anecdote, detective work, and circumstantial evidence.
Where the Hills Are Fog and the Rivers Are Mist

Ray Bradbury's The October Country turns sixty.
"The Dubliners of American Gothic"—that's how Stephen King referred to Ray Bradbury's first book, the little-known 1947 short-story collection, Dark Carnival. There's good reason few readers, even those well versed in Bradbury's work, are unfamiliar with Dark Carnival: Arkham House, a small press out of Sauk City, Wisconsin, published the book in a modest run of 3,112 copies; the book went out of print just a few years later. Besides a pricey limited-edition reprint in 2001, Dark Carnival exists as a literary apparition.
And yet many people have read some of Dark Carnival without knowing it. Read More »
The Art of the Fortune Cookie, and Other News
September 21, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- There are any number of prestigious opportunities available to freelance writers—footwear catalogs, restroom signage, pamphlets about flossing—but it takes a truly outstanding writer to land the best gig of them all: fortune-cookie writer, at seventy-five cents a pop. It's exacting work. The fortunes "have to be general enough to make sense for any kind of customer, but at the same time, they can't offend anyone … Companies keep databases of thousands of fortunes accumulated over years that they rotate on a regular basis to keep people from getting the same ones over and over. Coming up with original ideas when there are already ten thousand in the database—as there are, for example, at cookie manufacturer Wonton Foods—is a real challenge."
- Stephen King on William Sloane, whose 1930s horror novels were the opposite of Lovecraftian: "Because they ignore genre conventions, Sloane's novels are actual works of literature … In To Walk the Night, we discover that a disembodied brain—perhaps an alien from space, perhaps a human intelligence from another time-stream or dimension—has inhabited the body of an 'idiot' girl named Luella Jamison, transforming her vacuity into coldly classical beauty."
- While we're on horror: try reading The Hound of the Baskervilles when you have a profound fear of dogs. "My elementary school's library had an edition of the book with a cover like this: a black dog with red eyes standing in a green hoary mist, spittle oozing from its jaws, while the vague silhouette of someone in a cloak (Sherlock Holmes?) lurks in the background. I was totally captivated and scared shitless by the horrific power of this book."
- The lexicographer Francis Grose was the first to record phrases like fly by night and birds of a feather, in addition to other, non-flight-related idioms. His Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue deserves the same recognition as Johnson's Dictionary, and its entries live up to its name: "Inebriation is well documented, with terms ranging from 'Hicksius Doxius: Drunk' and 'Emperor: Drunk as an emperor, ie ten times as drunk as a lord' to 'Admiral of the narrow seas: One who from drunkenness vomits into the lap of the person sitting opposite him'. Other entries focus on bodily functions. There's 'Fizzle: A small windy escape backwards, more obvious to the nose than ears; frequently by old ladies charged on their lap-dogs', as well as 'Fart catcher: A valet or footman, from his walking behind his master or mistress.' "
- We all know that cops are putzes—but does this, in and of itself, explain their love for doughnuts? Is that love a symptom or a cause of their idiocy? The link between law enforcement and dough runs deep: "We've officially stuffed the protecting-and-serving citizens of our country with sugary pastries since at least World War I, when the Salvation Army sent female volunteers to France to cook doughnuts and bring them to the front … "
Demolishing the Literary Gynaeceum, and Other News
September 3, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Elena Ferrante would like to remind you, now that her novel The Story of the Lost Child is out, that she is not a man, and that if you think she might be a man, you're part of the problem: "Have you heard anyone say recently about any book written by a man, 'It's really a woman who wrote it, or maybe a group of women?' Due to its exorbitant might, the male gender can mimic the female gender, incorporating it in the process. The female gender, on the other hand, cannot mimic anything, for it is betrayed immediately by its 'weakness' … even the publishing industry and the media are convinced of this commonplace; both tend to shut women who write away in a literary gynaeceum … we're dealing with a new tradition of women writers who are becoming more competent, more effective, are growing tired of the literary gynaeceum and are on furlough from gender stereotypes."
- We often praise fiction for its ambiguity, which is counterintuitive—normally we admire good writing for its clarity, and more confusingly still it seems that the best fiction is at once clear and ambiguous: so what do we mean when we celebrate ambiguous fiction? "Ambiguity, uncertainty, multiplicity are positive in literature in so far as they act as a corrective against a dominant and potentially harmful manipulative hubris … the novelist has to be truly open to the world he describes; it is the multiplicity he then inevitably lets into the text that overwhelms the petty habit of knowing better… Nothing is less attractive, in a poem or novel, than the feeling that 'ambiguity' has simply been constructed or contrived."
- There's a rich ambiguity about the nose, at least insofar as it figures in literature. Gogol's story "The Nose" "was but one part of a larger body of literature improbably concerned with, of all things, the human nose … The history of the written nose is rich, varied, and wildly unpredictable, marshaled for a host of potential uses and meanings from slapstick gag to moral emblem to racial signifier."
- Stephen King recently wrote an Op-Ed defending novelists who publish (very) regularly, including himself and Joyce Carol Oates. But it's time to take a stand against prolificacy: "King concludes his op-ed by saying that he's glad Ms. Oates continues to write new books 'because,' he says, 'I want to read them.' I wonder if he really has. If anyone has read them all. Or truly does anxiously await the next one's arrival … When considering huge bodies of work, there's still the uncertainty about where to enter and where to go next once you've found a way in."
- The tremendous resurgence of so-called "nature writing" reveals the inadequacy of the term: " 'Nature writing' has become a cant phrase, branded and bandied out of any useful existence, and I would be glad to see its deletion from the current discourse … The best of the recent writing is ethically alert, theoretically literate and wary of the seductions and corruptions of the pastoral. It is sensitive to the dark histories of landscapes and to the structures of ownership and capital that organize—though do not wholly produce—our relations with the natural world … Some of this writing is kick-up-the-arse furious, some is elegiac, some is about disease and dispossession, some is about dignity and the deepening of knowledge. Across its range, moral engagement and hope are consistently in evidence."
Austenites Resplendent, and Other News
September 17, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- "Madame Bovary, c'est moi" is all well and good as a witty rejoinder—but in all honesty, which of the women in Flaubert's life was the real Madame Bovary?
- At a Jane Austen festival in Bath, 550 people claimed the world record for "the largest gathering of people dressed in Regency costume."
- On "reading insecurity," the newest existential disease: "the subjective experience of thinking that you're not getting as much from reading as you used to. It is setting aside an hour for that new book … and spending it instead on Facebook."
- Among Stephen King's "most hated expressions": many people, some people say, and YOLO. (I agree with the first two, but I'll go to the mat for YOLO any day of the week.)
- What's it like to translate a compendium of Alain Robbe-Grillet's sadistic fantasies? Haunting, but, you know, in a good way: "As translator, I am a filter for material: it travels through me. As such, there's a residue, but it is difficult to qualify. At best, you might compare the book's effect on me to its effect on any reader: certain images—many, in fact—remain in you, and surge forth unbidden, superimposing themselves in your mind's eye on perfectly anodyne and serene scenes of everyday life."

The rain is pouring up here in Maine: King country. The weather is regenerative and generous, but awfully forbidding, too. Someone hearty told me that this weather is, in fact, the best time to take walks up here—certain vivid mosses have been known to appear. But this is the sort of individual who enjoys icy five A.M. swims, and I did not want to admit that my study of bryology never really extended beyond carpeting bowers for the occasional fairy, and that said experiments generally resulted in pulling up large hunks of moss, moving them, and then being surprised when they died. In short, I am still indoors. And for good measure, we watched The Shining. I remembered it having been much scarier.
Cabin fever is an idiomatic term, first recorded in 1918, for a claustrophobic reaction that takes place when a person or group is isolated and/or shut in a small space, with nothing to do for an extended period. Cabin fever describes the extreme irritability and restlessness a person may feel in these situations.
A person may experience cabin fever in a situation such as being in a simple country vacation cottage. When experiencing cabin fever, a person may tend to sleep, have distrust of anyone they are with, and an urge to go outside even in the rain, snow, dark or hail. The phrase is also used humorously to indicate simple boredom from being home alone.

Today's Horoscope by Rick Levine
Stressful energy from the cosmos can turn our day inside out if we're resistant to the lessons we need to learn. However, emotional conflicts also fuel personal growth if we're willing to keep an open mind. The Moon's visit to interactive Gemini encourages communication but her hard aspects indicate we must face an unpleasant truth. Meanwhile, an awkward Venus-Uranus connection tempts us with pleasures outside our normal range of experience.

This is my website: http://www.fashionfillers.com/.
I want the left and right menu's to be a bit larger (in width), and the posts a bit smaller.
I do want the 'light pink part' to be the same size as now, but I just want to move the 'seperation lines' a bit to the centre.
How do I need to do this?
