When I think of games that are based on a series I think of this as being one of the better ones especially when I compare it to other simpsons games such as the skateboarding game.
**Game basics**
Platform -this is on ps2 and xbox.
Price- £29.99 new from amazon. Used from £3. I do think the new price is a bit on the high side. I cant remember paying that much when I bought it years ago!
Game play- This is an adventure style video game that is based on the show.
Sound- the voices are done by the actual cast members which I think is a nice touch.
Difficulty- Not that hard I think this would be suitable for most ages .
Players - it says that it is for 1-4 players which makes this a good party game .
missions - there are 56 missions with 7 different levels. Not the shortest game but I don't think its enough based on the rrp.
Age- for 7 and up
Storyline-two aliens Kang and Kodos are filming a reality television series about Springfield. You have to destroy the spaceship and help return Springfield back to normal.
**What I liked**
The tutorial for this is done very well so even if you had never played a game before you would understand easily. At the same time its not overly long or boring.
The controls are easy to use.
Gameplay . As I said there are 7 levels and each level has so many missions you have to complete before moving to the next one.7 missions at each level need tobe completed with the 8th being optional. You also can compete in a street race at each level.
This uses enough main characters and as it switched characters depending on the mission I didn't get bored of any of them.
You get a good selection of different costumes and vehicles in the game.
**Would I recommend**
If you have an xbox 360 then I would recommend the xbox version. I don't think its as good as others that are similar. I would say it has an element of being like grand theft auto but for a younger audience.
Simpsons hit and run is a driving game which i can sort of describe as grand theft auto, cartoon style, but ultimately it falls short of the mark. You can play as members of the Simpsons family (each with their own unique cars), and basically you earn money various ways, such as doing missions, and destroying things and picking up the coins. However i found this money system really bad, as by destroying thing (by crashing into them in your car), you damage your car, which cost money to fix? So... basically its not a brilliant resource system. If you destroy enough stuff cheif Wigam will chase you, and when that happens it is kinda fun, except that you never seem to shake him, its more a timer. Its just a little point, but it does get kidna annoying and repetitive after a while.
You can exit the car, and get in other people's cars, but it doesn't work very well, but honestly i cannot put my finger on why this is. I think it may be the fact that the normal cars are terrible, you really have to use the expensive to repair fast cars to do anything or get anywhere!
The graphics are ok, and there is a cartoony feel, but sometimes the graphics feel lazy rather than artistic, because its 3d, and Simpsons is 2d, there are a few views that just don't sit right (mostly when you are on foot and trying to look around for a door or something like that).
The missions themselves are dull, mostly just races, or drive to somewhere, or cause a certain amount of damage. It doesn't really feel like there is much of an overlying plot, like there is in say GTA.
Anyway, in summary then, i think the true reason why this game made it to platinum is because it was meant to be a sort of GTA but for younger players. I think this game isn't really all that good, i think its just one a select few of free to roam games on the ps2. I give this game 2/5 stars
Save Springfield!
By car, By foot, By the seat of your pants!
I absolutely love the Simpsons and I think they are so hilarious at times. I watch every episode on channel four at six every night I possibly can.
When this game was released into the shops for the first time, I went to get it straight away for my son because he also likes the Simpsons and I got it for a fairly good price indeed!
Anyway, when I got home my son wasn't there so I decided just to have a little go and it was amazing!
Plot and Outline of the Simpsons Hit and Run:
In this game, strange and weird things are happening around Springfield and the alien menaces found to be responsible are Kang and Kodos! There plan is to infuse a new kind of buzz-cola into Springfield's water supply which would make people go insane and shoot themselves with a laser gun! But it's not going to happen with the Simpsons around. Join them on there thrilling action-packed mission to investigate Springfield and put an end to this evil plan! There's over 50 action-packed and hilarious missions, bonus unlockables and multiplayer action, authentic story by "The Simpsons" writers and actual voiceovers by "The Simpsons" original cast!
Because this game was so good it was qualified for platinum which tells you instantly that it's absolutely fantastic!
This game is available on PS2, GameCube and Xbox in North America.It was designed and published b FOX, Vivendi Universal and Radical Entertainment!
Where can I buy this fantastic action-packed game from?
You can purchase this game from Amazon, Ebay and other internet based selling sites! They don't really sell it in shops anymore because it was released a few years ago and people don't bother with it anymore!
This game is definitely worth buying and playing because of it's hilarious action-packed missions that you complete throughout the game and because of the fantastic characters that you can play as!
The Simpsons Hit and Run is a car racing game which features the characters of The Simpsons.You can play in the game when you start off with 5 characters from the Simpsons which are Marge,Homer,Grandpa Simpsons,Lisa and Bart to start off with.
The game has got 3 modes one is head to head racing, one is the challenge mode in the game and one is a time limit mode. The modes in the game are quite fun to play especially head to head as you have to collect passengers before your opponent does but if you catch your opponent and hit them the passenger then jumps in your car.
Your goal is to deliver the passenger to their destination and each time you do you collect money for it.The person who gets the most money first wins the game.The game is enjoyable a lot when you playing with a friend as it does get exciting.This is the most fun i had with the game collecting passengers and fighting for them makes the game a lot enjoyable to play.
Challenge mode in the game is about collecting passengers and dropping them off in time.Each time you pass a challenge you unlock more characters to use in head to head racing. This was fun to play in the game but after a few go's at it you do get tired of doing the same thing in the game.
Gameplay is simple to pick up in the game but the bad point about the game is the lack of modes apart from 3 modes there is nothing else to do in the game. The game has not got much to do to be honest its only fun when 2 players play head to head apart from that its pretty boring!
Overall apart from the head to head in the game it can get a little dull to play but in my opinion the head and head makes the game interesting! Its great fun to play, if you still got a PS2 you could pick this game up cheap great fun especially for the kids!
I've played a few Simpsons games and I can say that this is by far the best. It's like Grand Theft Auto but a fun and non-violent version! The game uses the actual voices from the shows and has a nice selection of maps to tear around.
It's fun to find your favourite places from the shows....like the Kwik E Mart, the nuclear power plant and the escalator to nowhere! The gameplay is simplistic enough....just jumping, bashing things, driving about and crashing into things! The comments made by the characters really add to the gameplay...especially when playing as Homer! It's quite a lengthy game as well...with a variety of missions so you won't easily get bored. It was also a bit of a challenge as well! But if you can't be bothered to do the missions, it really is just as fun to cruise about, find some different novelty cars to drive in and explore familiar Springfield surroundings. You can be cheeky and "borrow" anyone's vehicle and do as you like....just be wary not to destroy it to the point at which it catches on fire and explodes!
The missions are various....from simple races to having to drive to places and pick things up, a few ram-raid missions and searching for items. I would say that anyone who loves the Simpsons and has a PS2 should definitely give this a go.
Simpsons Hit and Run is a driving game which requires you to be various cast members of the Simpsons family and to tree and win each level. You are driving cars around and can explore various homes you visit in search of coins and these become very precious after a while as you can exchange them for new outfits for the character you are playing as and not only that but you can also use them to buy cars as well.
You drive all cars the same and you get to run around and greet characters or you can drive around looking at various things to do such as jumping through courses and completing challenges and the map is the same as the setting they have on the actual show. When you see the Simpsons home the cars and people you see as neighbours are there as well which adds realism to the game.
As you play you want to try and visit many areas so you are out searching locations and invading graveyards and Krusty Burger looking for various items you need to find.
When you visit phone booths you can buy cars or even new outfits to wear and some are pretty funny and some are completely insane. The characters you play still have the same voices as done in the show as well so yet again this sort of adds to the realism factor of the game.
There is a story behind the game and you are out to destroy these wasp cameras which are spying on Springfield and the idea behind the game is to use the characters to work out the various solutions to the game and how to complete it overall.
The game consists of 7 levels overall and they do get tricky and at times the frustration levels increase as some problems are silly but you know you can do them but you never quite make it.
I think compared to other games involving the Simpsons this is one of the better ones as the graphics are pretty good they could be better of course but overall they are pretty good and I find the game play good as well and quite quick and that is a very good thing to notice.
You get to play with various cast members and visit people and explore the place which to be honest you don't see that often in the show itself so when you can explore the area the show is set it helps you understand things more.
Simpsons hit and run for the PS2 was released back in 2004. I regard it as possibly the best Simpsons adventure available on any console at the moment.
The story follows america's favourite family as they investigate crop circles and unravel a diabolical conspiracy thratening Springfield. In the game you play as Bart, Homer, Lisa and marge - but you bump into every charector along the way! As usual the full voice cast from the show is on good form here and they drive the story along really well.
There are four levels in the game which are huge, and in these there are 5 missions and a bonus one. These play like a sand box game as you can go anywhere within them without doing any missions. It plays like grand theft auto as you can hijack cars and just trael around on foot. Although when you hijack cars it just fades black and suddenly your in the car with the original occupent in the passenger seat.
There are lots of different vehicles available which can be unlocked as you progress through the game which include Otto's school bus, Mr. Plow's truck and a donut truck. These all handle pretty well too which is good. When your on foot you can kick people which will result in the police coming after you (Hitting people while driving has the same effect). There are plenty of hidden treasures to find and it will take a while before you find them all.
The missions here are very basic with most missions just requiring the use of the car. If they had put more effort into the on foot aspects of the game - then this would have been very good instead of just a good, solid game.
Games that adapt licenses so often wind up as very pale iterations that don't do their fans nor the product itself a great service. The Simpsons: Hit and Run, however, is a very fun game if you're a fan of the show, although if you've somehow never seen The Simpsons, I can't imagine this being much fun for you, as it has a lot of in-jokes. Still, you'd have to be a feral child to have never seen The Simpsons, and I don't know anyone who doesn't like the show, so it should be fine!
Unlike the previous Simpsons games, this is actually in 3D, and is a driving game styled on the Crazy Taxi engine. You start out as Homer (and can later play as other Simpsons), as you are tasked with driving around Spingfield, performing numerous tasks within the time limit whilst not colliding with other cars and environmental obstructions. Some of the missions also require that you total the vehicle of an enemy, and whilst this isn't the deepest game in the world, it does make considerations towards the speed, size and weight of your vehicle, with each car having its benefits and drawbacks that you can decide depending on your own driving style.
What surprised me was that you're actually able to get out of your car among other things (something you could never do in Crazy Taxi!), and there is a surprising level of freedom for a game that I assumed would be a mostly soulless cash in. There's quite a bit to do in the various challenge modes, and although it's hardly a difficult game, it is a fun diversion for a few hours. I didn't buy it at full price when it came out, but it's at least worth a rent, or the more likely option now of bagging it for a couple of quid on E-Bay. If you're a Simpsons fan and want something that you can just relax and play, then this is the one to go for!
The Simpsons Hit and Run is a free roaming action title for the Playstation 2 console.
The Simpsons hit and run puts the famous yellow family into their very own video game, the plotline is rather zany their hometown of Springfield is being attacked by evil robotic bees and its citizens are being brainwashed by Buzz Cola! The Simpson family must investigate the goings on and put the town of Springfield back to normal.
The gameplay is reminiscent of a Grand Theft Auto game but done in a much more family friendly way. You can control any one of the Simpson family, all of them control pretty much the same they can run around and attack, but only with punches and kicks as there are no guns in the game.
You have the whole of the town of Springfield to free roam around and just enjoy seeing the famous city in video game form, you can do missions to advance the plotline which usually involve delivering packages, racing other players, or trying to take out people who have gone nuts after drinking Buzz Cola !
The police will chase after you in the game like Grand Theft Auto if you perform actions like smashing into people in your car or beating up the people of Springfield, but the police are far easier to evade and wont send the army after you if you are to badly behaved!
The game captures the look of Springfield reasonably well but the Simpson
characters don't look exactly right in 3D. The original voice cast from the show returns to do the lines which makes it a more authentic Simpsons experience.
This game is pretty fun, think of it as a Grand Theft Auto type game for a younger audience, it's actually very good definitely one of the better Simpsons video games around. You should have some fun with this game.
Having been a big fan of the Simpsons series on TV I couldn't wait to try the game and roam around Springfield! The game itself is an action and adventure game that overall I did find very entertaining to play and I thought it was full of some great features. The graphics of the game are quite good and I think they resemble the TV series well, however there is scope for improvement. I was very fond of how the soundtrack was similar to the TV series making it seem even more realistic.
I thought that the mao was perhaps the best part of the game and it really did give you a good feel for Springfield and it was great being able to run and around it. I remember many people saying to me how it is just the children's version of grand theft auto which is true in one sense. I absolutely loved the cars and I loved how as you complete the main story missions the whole of Springfield changes to a different theme such as ordinary or halloween. There are seven levels within the game and each level has a new set of missions which really were great fun.
As for the gameplay in general, I felt it could have been improved. I did like the interface but I found the cars to be slightly glitchy when driving for example. I was very impressed with the overall variety of cars that were available however for weapons I felt rather the opposite. But considering it is mainly a children's game I suppose they were restricted. I hope this was useful and thank you very much for reading this!
I got this game for Christmas and I was very pleased with it. When I put it in my PS2 console Homer was wearing a Santa outfit which was really funny. The gameplay is very good but then again what do you expect from a Platinum game. I am on Bart's level now and I am finding the first mission hard to complete. When I am on Hit and Run it is easy to get away from the police but you should never go in somebody elses car because it usually breaks easily. Graphics wise the game is definitely on the higher side of the capabilities of PS2 graphics and usually all the Simpson characters render perfectly during the game. I wouldn't say this is an easy game although I am a mediocre gamer compared to my friends who breezed through most of the stages. The graphics are good enough although nothing compared to next gen maybe the old feel makes the game even better. The worst part of the game is the driving itself as it is very clanky and hard to control the car however fast or slow it is. The game itself is very old but still pure class and a must have for any PS2 owner.
I don't know what I'm playing at lately but I've really got into playing video games recently. I recently played the Simpsons Game on the playstation and then my son suggested I should have a go at this game, the Simpsons Hit and Run, because I do like my Simpsons.
This isn't a cartoony game like the other one is and is actually a bit older too. It's got much more computerish graphics to it though it's also in 3D. The idea of this is that it's a driving game basically. I'm Homer (and then other different characters later on) and I'm driving around a computer Springfield in my car to complete all these different tasks.
Whether I'm grabbing tokens or racing against the clock or trying to destroy an enemy's vehicle, the idea is basically that I'm testing my computer driving skills really. I really liked that I had to keep changing cars and that they all had different speeds, acceleration and toughness as it made the game a lot more varied and challenging than it first appeared to be.
I also liked that I had the option of completing as much or as little of the game as I wanted to. So if I wanted to just do the seven story missions (the little driving tests) I could do then move up a level. Or if I wanted a challenge I could try to find all of the collector items hidden around the level. In between missions you can get out of your car and do what you want, there's no limit to time or limit to lives or anything.
I didn't complete this game and I don't think I will. Frankly I'm just not a good enough gamer! Even though I've got unlimited lives and time, some of the challenges are just a bit too tricky for me. I thought this was good basic fun though and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes either the Simpsons or fun driving games in general. I had a look on Amazon and it's out of stock for them but you can get it second hand from marketplace sellers for £3 which is a bargain.
Simpsons Hit and Run - does what it says in the title. It is a Simpsons driving game, with lots of levels and missions. But if you do too many Hit and Runs you have to run from the police! A good feature is that you dont have to stay in your car. You can get to the hard to reach areas on foot.
It is a really fun game, and you get to pick which family member you can be. There are several cars to earn and find. You have to do several missions to complete each level. The graphics are quite boxy - but still good as they are meant to be cartoon characters.
I wont give away the story line away, as you will want to find that for yourself. It is good fun to play through out. As far as cartoon platform games go it is a great game, but if its a racing/driving game your after then this wont be for you.
I feel that this is the best Simpsons game produced. In this game you play as different characters in different levels. These characters are Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Apu. It is a mission based driving game. There are 7 levels and in each level you need to complete seven missions plus one bonus mission, although the bonus missions are not necesarry for completion of the game.
You can also take part in street races. There are 7 hidden collecters cards in each level. If you find all 7 you will unlock a multiplayer street race and if you collect all 49 there is an itchy and scratchy suprise.
The Graphics in this game are as good as can be expected from a cartoon world but it ressembles springfeild very well.
The gameplay was just right. Not too long too get boring but enough to be worth its value. I would say for an average gamer it should take 48 hours of non-stop gameplay, but most normal people wouldn't do that!
The controls are very easy to use and its easy to learn with an well done tutorial level.
The soundtrack in this game is average but what makes this game good is the original character voices of the simpsons cast with the same humour you would expect from a simpsons episode.
There are many veichels and costumes for you to play around with in this game and you unlock new ones gradually.
It may not be on par with games like the GTA series, for example, but for a cartoon adaption game its pretty good and out of most Simpsons games this is definantely one of the best and it is fun for all the family to play children and adults alike. Almost every mission is driving based and I would have liked to have seen a little more variety, with some on foot missions for example.
A very good family fun game!
The Simpsons: Hit & Run is a completely different type of game from the various other games that include America's favourite yellow family. This one has a story and feels like a lot more time has gone into it.
Something strange is happening in Springfield. Cameras that look like wasps are seen around the town, a new soft drink is making people crazy and there are mysterious black vans that seem to be spying on people. It's up to The Simpsons to save the day!
This game is set over 7 big levels around Springfield. In them you take control of a different character, even some outside of the Simpsons family, and take part in missions to find out what's going on and to put a stop to it! You can destroy the wasp cameras for money which you can then buy different outfits and cars from Simpsons episodes past, making this a great bit of nostalgia for fans.
The levels are GTA inspired so they're vast and include so many different places that you've seen or heard about on the TV show, it really is a mecca for die-hard fans. A personal favourite of mine is the 'Treehouse of Horror' stage where there are lots of zombies, witches and ghosts driving and walking around, all done in the great Simpsons tradition of the yearly Halloween episodes. You also meet loads of different characters, and as this was made in conjunction with the voice cast of the TV show, everyone's voice is as it should be. The story is also crafted by the writers so you get the same funny dialogue and wacky situations that The Simpsons find themselves in every week.
This game can be picked up very cheap as it's been out for a while now, so pick it up and have a laugh!
There are strange happenings in Springfield. People are missing, very mysterious crop circles are appearing and hidden cameras are being exposed. When Homer notices a black van with a satellite dish parked outside the Simpsons' house, he decides to investigate further into these odd events. What he reveals could be the biggest mystery to rock Springfield since Who Shot Mr Burns? The Simpsons' Hit & Run promises a hilarious mission-based driving game with exciting out-of-the-car platform gameplay, the signature satire of The Simpsons' and the interactive world of Springfield.

Good links... I'll have to try some of these out.
There are three things that Zen traditions typically use that might be of use to someone:
1. Makkoho exercises. This is the traditional "pre-meditation" stretching routine often recommended for Zen meditation. Just Google images the word.
2. One thing that I have very really helpful in aligning your back is to do something that my old Zen teacher taught me. Once your are seated on your cushion, fold your entire torso over towards the floor, like a plank. You can rest there for a few seconds to make your thighs loosen up. Once your head is on the floor or as close to the floor as it's going to come, put your hands and the floor and arch your back backwards (like you wanted look at the ceiling, or like the Cobra posture in yoga) without over-stretching. Once your spine feels a little looser, come back up and do the next exercise below or start meditating.
2. To get squarely centered on your cushion once you are already side and have taken care of your legs, start swinging your entire body from your lower back to your to your head in very wide arcs from left to right, like a metronome. But keep your buttocks in place. Over the course of 10-30 seconds, you make those arcs increasingly smaller until you find the center. You can also do it front to back.
There are videos of this movement all over the internet, but for some reason I can't find one now. Because of that, the next best thing is a weeble wobble advertisement from the 70's in the US. Check out the weeble wobble at 0:17-0:18
There you go! Just a few ideas from a different tradition to give you some options

I need to loop through each occurrence of (spans where id=getthis):

on my webpage and foreach of these occurrences, insert a response from an ajax call based on the content of the name tag.
Any help appreciated
You're going to have trouble from here on, due to id attributes needing to be unique identifiers. That means, no duplicates id's are allowed on the same page.
Hi Paul,
Well ok we can go with class="getthis" instead
Depending on how the spans are organised on the page, you may not even need to use multiple classes. A single identifier or class on a common parent is the best way, so that from there you can get all the spans.
Can you provide some info about how the spans are organised?
The spans could be anywhere on the page, and so won't be simply within a certain div.
That's good to know.
Are you using a pre-existing code library on the page, such as jQuery, or will you want to use native-JavaScripting techniques.
I'd rather use native js as the script if possible!
Good stuff, in that case you can use the [code and examples from [url="http://bulletproofajax.com/"]bulletproof ajax](http://bulletproofajax.com/code/) as the basis for the ajax work.
When it comes to searching for elements by their class name, there are fast web browser techniques where getElementsByClassName is supported, but where browser support is lacking (I'm mostly looking at you, Internet Explorer) you can fall back on custom versions of getElementsByClassName, and then knit them together so that native browser support takes precedence over the other one.
Thanks. How can I loop through all of the spans and call my ajax function foreach with the span name info, and then update the contents of each span with the result? That's what i'm really looking for an example of! I should be ok with the ajax side etc...
You would use getElementsByClassName to retrieve an array-like object that consists of the matching elements, and then a simple for loop to loop through each of them.
You can give the ajax request a callback function that updates the content after it has been successfully received.
So including that js script and then something like this should alert each span's name contents?
function getspans(){
var spans = getElementsByClassName("getthis");
for(var i=0; i<spans.length; i++)
window.onload = getspans();
Although this doesn't alert anything on a target page which contains a series of spans with class="getthis" and name="....."
No, it won't, because currently your getElementsByTagName doesn't exist.Normally it's called from the document object, but if it doesn't exist you can provide an alternative function to get the job done, such as from one of the previous links.
if (!document.getElementsByClassName) {
document.getElementsByClassName = ... // function here
At which point, your code can then use document.getElementsByClassByName(...) regardless of whether the web browser supports it or not.
Sorry, I'm not following that! Can you put my example code into your explanation?
My sample code goes before any of your code. The purpose of that sample code is to be compatability code, to check if the web browser has a built-in getElementsByClassName method, and if not to let the browser know how to do it.
Many thanks. I've just dug out some old jquery/json code so I'm experimenting with that right now (sorry if I've wasted your time!)
Let's say I have this stucture:
html page with a few - includes script1.php as js file
script1.php consists of echo'd document.write(...) js (php so i can do some db stuff too)- includes script2.js (jquery loop grabbing spans: $("#getthis", this).each(function () { )- includes jquery.js
script2.js contains jquery calls to grab each of spans with id getthis (ids just for now!!)
Why wouldn't script2.js be able to see the spans on the 1st html page?I had it working when the script2.js was included directly from the 1st html page, just not since i've added it within another js file.
I also tried this but didnt work:
window.parent.$("#getthis", this).each(function () {
That we can figure out by taking a look at the resulting HTML code that is served up to the web page.
I would actually stay away from a custom getElementsByClassName for something like this and rather go with getElementsByTagName. The custom getElementsByClassName that you would need to write for browsers that don't support it will have to loop through the entire DOM (unless you use one that specifies a tag name with it) when he already knows that we're looking for spans. Not a showstopper or anything, but why not save time when you can :).
I would do something like this:
var els = document.getElementsByClassName ? document.getElementsByClassName('getthis') : function() {
var allSpans = document.getElementsByTagName('span'),
myClass = new RegExp('\\\\bgetthis\\\\b'),
retVal = [];
for (var i = 0, len = allSpans.length; i < len; i++) {
var classes = allSpans[i].className;
if (myClass.test(classes)) retVal.push(allSpans[i]);
return retVal;
Didn't test this btw...
Since he seems to now be using jQuery, he doesn't even need to use any of those native techniques either now.

Anquan Boldin heard about his trade from the Baltimore Ravens to the San Francisco 49ers in an interesting place: He was on a relief trip to Africa with Oxfam.

text: I know this subject has been covered quite a bit but I am looking at switching to the bent elbow technique. In a ton of the videos I have watched recently I have seen many players throw huge bombs and very accurate shots with the bent elbow technique. I was just wondering what peoples thoughts were on the two techniques and if switching either way has helped their distance and or accuracy. I think the transition for me will be difficult but I think it will help out a lot. Ok time for the input to roll in!

- Windworks Wind Powered Furniture Production by Merel KarhofDesigner Merel Karhof recently unveiled Windworks - an incredible collection of wooden furniture that is produced from start to finish using only wind energy! Karhof teamed up with the De Kat color mill and the Het Jonge Schaap sawmill to use wind power for all of the woodwork, upholstery, dying and knitting of the yarn. The collaboration between a saw mill, a color mill and a knitting mill allows the designer to produce all parts of the furniture using the wind - a completely inexhaustible source of energy.1
- Windworks Wind Powered Furniture Production by Merel KarhofSet against the backdrop of the world-famous windmills in Zaanse Schans, Netherlands, the Windworks project took place from May 15th-19th.2
- Windworks Wind Powered Furniture Production by Merel KarhofZaanse Schans is located on the Zaan River in North Holland and it's home to a collection of well-preserved historic windmills. Each one of these produces a different kind of raw material. There is a color mill called De Kat (the Cat), which has been fitted out to grind coloring materials, as well as a sawmill called 'Het Jonge Schaap' (the Young Sheep), which saws planks from trees.3
- Windworks Wind Powered Furniture Production by Merel KarhofKarhof created a 'Wind Knitting Factory' in 2010 that knits scarves and other textiles using energy from passing breezes. Windworks expands upon this idea to create a complete collection of furniture.4
- Windworks Wind Powered Furniture Production by Merel KarhofA glimpse of the Windworks shed illustrates how windmills working together can become a complete and holistic industry.5
- Windworks Wind Powered Furniture Production by Merel KarhofKarhof began by designing a collection of upholstered furniture pieces.6

Detroit - A plan to revive the troubled Detroit Science Center is moving forward.
The center closed last September after its board decided an ongoing deficit had created a financial crisis that couldn't be fixed without halting operations.
But Ann Arbor businessman, Ron Weiser, bought the building and now donations and pledges -- totally more than $2.5 million -- are coming in.
It's slated to reopen as the Michigan Science Center, but no date has been set.
The building is shared with University Prep Science and Math.
Superintendent Margaret Trimer-Hartley said the students have missed it.
"Very quiet, a depressing year to not have our partner up and running," she said.
An average of 150,000 students were visiting the center before it closed.
"Every school in the state lacks the kind of resources available here at the Detroit Science Center. We need it, want it and cannot wait for it to return," Trimer-Hartley said.

Noone should put any stock in preseason games. LAL got blown out by Golden State. Plus Minny has been playing their starters full minutes and has 4/5 we've played our scrubs and haven't really played Paul much plus are missing 3/5 starters. Pre-season is meaningless either way though if you're talking about score.
Do we have any plays? All I see is a continuous scramble.
Hate Pendys offensive skills but hes been very active and is a good rebounder
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
I like how Stephenson backed off on that fast break and didn't try to force anything. Might the young man be learning patience?

LOL anyone trying to glean anything of any significance from this game is kidding themselves. What a lazy *** **** show. Can't believe the T-Wolves hosted this in Fargo to try and build fan base. Paul George fouls out in 22 minutes? Hilarious.

Orlando "Air,No Matter Where, Ball" Johnson
Amusing game
Can't remember the last time I counted so many airballs.
Another air ball for Johnson. Whats the record for a team in one game?
DJ Augustin and Paul looked good, beyond that, yuck. Preseason.
Paul's ballhandling actually looked alot better, he tried to do too much at times, but he was getting to where he wanted on the court and forced them to foul him quite a bit.
Orlando Johnson's (somehow) the only Pacer with a positive plus/minus at +2
Game over
23 field goals
24 turnovers
27 fouls
Wow ! A Pacers Digest team could possibly do that!
There was nothing we could learn from the game, it was bad.
I was thinking Paul looked terrible . Granted I did miss the last half of the second quarter.
I learned that Ahearn, B.Hansbro, Nevill, and Gaines need to be cut immediately. I suspected it already, but tonight sealed the deal.

How Ruling On WiFi Snooping Means Security Researchers May Face Criminal Liability
from the not-a-good-thing dept
Over at the EFF, Hanni Fakhoury explains how this ruling could be a disaster for security researchers:
If you're a security researcher in the Ninth Circuit (which covers most of the West Coast) who wants to capture unencrypted Wi-Fi packets as part of your research, you better call a lawyer first (and we can help you with that). The Wiretap Act imposes both civil and serious criminal penalties for violations and there is a real risk that researchers who intentionally capture payload data transmitted over unencrypted Wi-Fi—even if they don't read the actual communications —may be found in violation of the law. Given the concerns about over-criminalization and overcharging, prosecutors now have another felony charge in their arsenal.There's a fairly big risk here that this interpretation of the law is going to create tremendous chilling effects on research.
Of course, there is a flip side. In theory, this might also mean that police can't scoop up WiFi signals either:
On the other hand, the decision also provides a strong argument that the feds and other law enforcement agencies that want to spy on data transmitted over unencrypted Wi-Fi will need to get a wiretap order to do so. We've seen the government use a device called a "moocherhunter" without a search warrant to read Wi-Fi signals to figure out who's connecting to a particular wireless router. This decision suggests that to the extent the government uses a device like this (or even a "stingray" to the extent it can capture Wi-Fi signals) to capture payload data —even if just to determine a person's location—they'll need a wiretap order to do so. That's good news since wiretap orders are harder to get than a search warrant.Still we've seen courts give much greater leverage to law enforcement scooping up communications, so this benefit might not actually be real. The risk and the chilling effects to security researchers, however, is very real. Having seen how often security researchers have been threatened and/or arrested for their research, giving law enforcement another bogus thing to use against them is a huge problem.

It's a pair of glasses, it's a man on fire, it's a piece of art promoting unsafe bicycle riding. Those are some of the guesses from Times-Herald Facebook fans when asked to identify a photo of new bike rack recently installed downtown.
More Facebook responders seemed to recognize the structure for what it is than those interviewed in person Wednesday.
A totally unscientific poll conducted outside Vallejo's Gracie's Family Barbecue on Virginia Street, found that few could tell what the yellow metal thing out front is.
"I'd like to see a bike attached to it, so I'd know," said Jerry Coutee of Suisun, 49, who, along with most passers-by and Gracie's customers Wednesday afternoon, said he at first assumed it was a piece of statuary. "I never saw anything like that."
Gracie's owner Ken Ingersol said its uniqueness is exactly what he likes best about the bike rack.
Though most people interviewed said they like the new rack, which was installed last week along with a similar red one across the street at Ray Prather's Victory Stores, not everyone appreciates it.
"It's ugly to me," said Vallejo native Ralph Kenyon, 90. "It detracts from the city. It's ridiculous and the color makes it worse."
The color is the one complaint Ingersol said he's heard since a private-public partnership made the project possible.
"I'm really happy with them," Ingersol said, of the racks installed to replace one destroyed by a driver who ran a red light and drove onto the sidewalk in front of Gracie's late last summer.
"That gave me the opportunity to do something different," he said. "I did some research -- Googled bike rack art -- and found this design and I thought it looked cool. I took it to Carl Uebner of Uebner & Byerrum whose father founded his blacksmith shop nearly 100 years ago when Broadway was Highway 40, and he recreated the design."
Public Works Director David Kleinschmidt helped facilitate the process and local businessman Buck Kamphausen donated the needed power-coating, so the two racks cost about $750 each, Ingersol and Prather said.
"It's functional art. It resembles a bike. It's somebody in motion, so it promotes a healthy lifestyle when you look at it -- that's what Kleinschmidt said," Ingersol said. "It's eye-catching because of the colors."
Ingersol said he's sure bike riders will instantly know the thing's function and, in fact, several customers used it over the weekend. And it's creating buzz, he said.
"People comment on it all the time," he said, and Prather said he's seeing the same reaction.
"A lot of people are looking at them and talking about it," Prather said. "One kid stood on it and his mother took a picture. It gets people talking about the store, and that's good."
Prather said he liked that a Vallejo business was used to make the structures and hopes other business owners in town will opt to install one also.
"I think it's cool. It has that cool factor," he said. "It's appealing, refreshing, like something different for the area; gives it a little spark."

A Patient With Nonresolving Pneumonia and Arthralgias
A Patient With Nonresolving Pneumonia and Arthralgias
A 61-year-old man with arthritis and an 80-pack-year smoking history presented with fever, dyspnea, and productive cough of a week's duration that did not respond to outpatient treatment with levofloxacin. He also had worsening arthralgias in both lower extremities, particularly in his knees and ankles, accompanied by a 10-lb weight loss over the 2 months before presentation. Physical examination findings included digital clubbing and decreased breath sounds on the right side with scattered fine rales.
The patient was admitted with the diagnosis of right lower lobe (RLL) pneumonia on the basis of RLL consolidation on his radiograph. He was treated with intravenous ceftriaxone and azithromycin. However, there was no improvement in his symptoms despite treatment with the antibiotics; therefore, a CT scan of the chest was obtained. It revealed emphysema and mediastinal lymphadenopathy in the pretracheal and subcarinal locations (Figure 1). A moderate right-sided pleural effusion and multiple nodular opacities (measuring less than 1 cm) in right middle and lower lobes with septal thickening were noted, suggesting a lymphangitic tumor (Figure 2).
The patient underwent mediastinoscopy and lymph node biopsy, which confirmed poorly differentiated non–small-cell lung cancer. Thoracentesis with aspiration of the effusion also confirmed malignancy. Meanwhile, a rheumatology consultation was sought for his leg pain. There was no clinical evidence of synovitis or effusion in any of his joints, although there was evidence of mild arthritis in the knees with suprapatellar enthesopathy on knee and ankle radiographs. He had minimal relief with NSAIDs. Opiates and gabapentin were added for pain relief.
Laboratory findings were significant for an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein level. Results of serological tests for rheumatoid factor, antinuclear antibody, and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies were negative; levels of serum complements were normal.
Chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide was started, and the patient had some improvement in his arthralgic symptoms.

Josh Brent, who was returned to jail in Dallas last week after failing a drug test related to his intoxicated manslaughter arrest last December, has a bond revocation hearing scheduled for July 19. Training camp for the Dallas Cowboys opens two days after that.
Brent, however, is expected to still be on the Cowboys roster on both dates. ESPN.com reported at the time of his return to jail the Cowboys still have no plans to release him. The team apparently was not swayed by the increased attention to Aaron Hernandez's arrest on murder and gun charges last week, or by the Patriots' decision to release Hernandez less than two hours after he was taken from his home in handcuffs.
MORE: Colts' safety arrested on gun possession | $4,000 jersey?
The move has not been received well in and around Dallas; a Dallas Morning News online poll had 76 percent of voters saying that Brent should be released. (Actual voter totals were not available on the site.)
The Cowboys made no comment after Brent went back to jail, and the NFL has not made any decisions about him as it waits for the legal case to be resolved. The Patriots notably chose to act on Hernandez without waiting for the NFL to act on him after his arrest.
The family of Jerry Brown, Brent's Cowboys teammate and close friend who was killed in the accident December 8, has requested from the beginning that Brent be embraced and welcomed by his teammates and team officials. Fellow Cowboys have continued to support Brent, who remains consumed with guilt over Brown's death, ESPN.com reported.
Brent's trial is scheduled for September 23.

Congratulations to participating churches of Levy --- you set a record this past Saturday. You took the big Crusades for Christ tent from the semi-trailer to a standing tent in a mere four hours. To the thirty of so people who were on site we offer a great big THANK YOU! This coming Saturday (25th) we will meet again at 7:30 a.m. to install the chairs, platform, lighting, video/audio equipment and we will need you once again.
While on the big island of Hawaii, Linda, J.R., and I chanced to come across a site known as, The Place of Refuge. The object of war, in those days before the missionaries came to their island, was to exterminate the enemy, which included anyone who belonged to the opposing side. Those too old, too young, or those unable to fight could find safety in the sanctuary. Defeated warriors also came to the "pu'uhonua," where they could wait in safety until the battle was over. Their allegiance would then be to the victor.

" Brand: Morrisons / Type: Cereal "
I'm usually in a mad rush in the mornings and don't have much time for breakfast but I do think it's important to have something to eat in the morning. I try to eat as healthily as possible and some time ago thought that it would be a good idea to try Fruit and Fibre breakfast cereal. I tried the Kellogg's brand and found the cereal to be very tasty. Then one day I noticed that Morrisons sell their own packaged Fruit and Fibre Cereal at around half the price of Kellogg's, so I thought I'd give it a try.
The box is a purple colour with a large photo of a bowl of the cereal on the front and back. On one side of the box is a list of ingredients (Morrisons claim that it does not contain artificial colours or flavours) and a huge amount of nutritional information. Inside is a plastic sealed bag containing the cereal which does tend to burst asunder when you try to open it - sometimes these are easy to pull open, whereas other times you almost need the strength of Superman to get at the contents.
I won't list the full details, but here are the basics:-
A 40g serving with 125ml of semi-skimmed milk provides:-
215 calories
16.2g of sugar
4.8g of fat
3g of saturates
0.4g of salt
3.3g of fibre
I'm not really sure that the fact that it contains such a huge amount of sugar is necessarily healthy, but from what I understand many cereals contain a high proportion.
I personally do like the taste. The wholewheat flakes are not particularly sweet - they taste very much of bran - and they don't go soggy quickly. There are quite a few raisins and coconut chips which give it a little flavour and small pieces of dried apple, together with roasted 'niibbed nuts' - small pieces of hazlenuts and almonds - all of which give it a crunchy texture. It also contains dried banana slices and unfortunately it's these that let this cereal down. You could easily break your teeth on them - they are so hard. Even leaving them to soak in the milk doesn't make a lot of difference. Admittedly they do taste of bananas and thankfully they're not too big, so you can swallow them whole without having to try to bite them. The cereal would be much nicer with, say, dried apricot but I expect that if they substituted the banana for some other fruit it would affect the nutrition. Having said this I don't think there is really much difference in the flavour of Morrisons' fruit and fibre compared to Kellogg's, and it's much better on the pocket
As it's a Morrisons own brand, you can only buy these in their supermarkets or M-local stores. The cereal comes in two sizes - 500g and 750g and costs £1.29 for the smaller size and £1.49 for the larger one.
Quite a tasty cereal with fibre that appears to be healthier than some other popular cereals and is only let down by the ridiculously hard pieces of banana
Thank you for reading this review and I hope you have found it useful
To be honest, I am not a huge Morrisons fan but, on occasion, I do go to Morrisons simply because (unfortunately) it is my nearest supermarket. Morrisons Fruit and Fibre Cereal has done nothing to change my overall opinion of Morrisons because it just simply isn't very good!
The box cost me £1.00 for a 500g box which, I grant you, is cheap, but there is just no point in paying less for something if it just isn't any good! The cereal comes in a standard box where the cereal is enclosed within the box in a plastic bag in an attempt to keep the cereal fresh.
The cereal doesn't really look like the fruit and fibre cereal that I've been used to in the past. When I tipped the cereal into a bowl the first thing I noticed was that the cereal was made up overwhelmingly of cereal flakes with only a tiny bit of dried fruit interspersed throughout the cereal. I'm not joking but in an average bowl of cereal I only identified about 6 raisins and 3 nuts and not a lot else! Supposedly there is also nuts, coconut, apple and bananas in this cereal - and although I could identify a small quantity of other fruit, it really wasn't a lot! I think if you're used to a cereal with lots of fruit then this really will not be good enough and, in my opinion, the cereal should be called "Morrisons Flakes" more than anything else!!
Once the milk has been poured on, the flakes get very soggy very quickly. I needed to add some sugar as it didn't have enough fruit to sweeten it sufficiently - and this is not usually something I have to do. When I tasted it tasted it mush - or a little bit like I imagine paper-mache to taste! The little bits of fruit I did have were nice, but there just wasn't enough of it - and it would need a lot more fruit to lift this cereal out of the dregs of the cereal world.
I have had three bowls of this cereal and it really hasn't improved. My kids won't eat it and have opted for Kellogs Cornflakes instead (which is something I never thought I would see them opting for!!) - and so once I've finished it, I won't be buying it again. It just really isn't good enough.
As much as I love chocolate breakfast cereals (or anything with chocolate in, lol!) I do like a change so I've been eating some of my mum's Morrisons Fruit & Fibre in the morning, and its' really nice for supper too!
This is part of the Eat Smart range they do which is high in fibre and really healthy for you with bran flakes and dried mixed fruit and roasted chopped mixed nuts...
The one I am reviewing is a 500g box which is grey and purple with a bowl of the cereal on the front.
This contains folic acid and vitamins and iron and is suitable for vegetarians...
There is a best before end of July 10 so it last for ages when sealed. Allergy advice is it contains gluten, nuts and sulphites.
The cereal contains 15% raisins, 6% banana slice and 3% coconut chips and whole wheat and 1.5 roasted chopped nuts which make it really tasty :)
Calories are 168 per 30g serving with 125 semi skimmed milk and 13.1 sugars and 3.9g fat and 2.5 fibre.
Produced in the UK each serving gives an adult 8.4% of their recommended daily allowance and the box has 16 servings in it.
It only cost £1.25 which is over half price compared to the Kellogg's brand but it isn't as nice...
The bran flakes are full of flavour but the banana chips are hard and really hard to eat. The nuts are nice but the raisins again are really dry and too chewy. The coconut goes nice with the milk and is tasty too.
It's definitely a healthy meal but is let down by the toughness of the added extras with the fruit I think.
A good price but only worth two stars as it could be a lot better! :(
I have always been a fan of Kellogg's Fruit and Fibre so when I saw a similar product under the Morrison's own label, I decided to give it a try. It was a whole £1.50 cheaper than my regular brand so at £1.25 it had to be worth a try.
Now, I am not the world's best breakfast eater. I know that I should eat breakfast and I can manage it if it's quick, easy and I can eat it with out too much effort. This was quick and easy but eating it was a marathon task.
I got what I thought I was getting; a bowl of whole wheat flakes with bits of nuts and dried fruit in among, at least that's what I found once I had searched for the fruit. There were bits of apple, raisin, banana and coconut in there somewhere, according to the blurb on the outside of the box. There was so little that I had difficulty locating it.
In retrospect it is probably just as well that there was not more because it was the fruit (I'm assuming that's what it was) caused the problem. It was hard and chewy and very difficult to 'get rid of'. Certainly not my idea of a quick nutritious breakfast.
This cereal also contains 3.9 grams of fat per 30 gram serving and 13.1 grams of sugar. It is supposed to be a high fibre cereal but only contains 2.5 grams of fibre per serving.
To be honest the whole thing was a waste of my money because I threw it away. It was not what I had expected and chewing up leathery fruit and nuts first thing in the morning is not my idea of a good breakfast. I'll stick to Kellogg's where this kind of cereal is concerned.
I go through phases with 2 kinds of cereal. I love crunchy nut cornflakes, or morrisons version of them. I also love fruit and fibre, although i hate plain branflakes.
Morrisons fruit and fibre comes in 2 sizes, the smaller one lasts me less than a week, and the larger one nearly 2 weeks. It is a lot more expensive than the morrisons branflakes, but its worth paying the extra in my opinion. Kellogs fruit and fibre tastes exactly the same, and costs twice as much.
So you get branflakes, dried fruit like banana, a few nuts, and lots of raisins. I have read other reviews that say you dont get many raisins, but I find the opposite! I always end up having too many for the first 3 or 4 bowels and end up with none for the final bowls. I think they put them all on the top when they do the boxes.
The good thing about this sort of cereal is that its full of fibre, which is what you need in the morning to get your metabolism going. Its really good for you, just dont have it with full fat milk.
The box is recyclable and the plastic bag in the middle unfortunately needs to be thrown away.
I think these are at the same standard as kellogs, and you should definately try these and see how much money you can save.
I do like some cereal, but have noticed the prices in the supermarkets is leaping up especially for the big branded products. In Morrisons last week I decided to buy a box of their own brand Fruit & Fibre which I forgot was in the cupboard until yesterday morning when I decided to try a bowl for my breakfast.
I must admit it's not as good as the Kellogg's version of Fruit & Fibre, and really it's not very much cheaper so I can't see me buying this one again. The main problem is how soggy the cereal flakes go once I've added the cold milk, before pouring the milk over they are deliciously crunchy and smell very malty but within seconds of adding the milk the flakes go immediately soggy and lose much of their flavour.
There also isn't much fruit in my bowl of cereal, reading the box I see there is supposed to be raisins, coconut, apple and chopped nuts mixed in with the flakes which sounds great but in reality I honestly do not think there is enough fruit in this bowl of cereal to really do me any good at all. The nuts and raisins sink to the bottom of my bowl so all I get in each spoonful is a mouthful of flakes, with the added bits all having to be eaten at the end of my bowl of cereal. Personally I'd much prefer to get at least a couple of raisins with each spoon of flakes as surely this is the idea of a cereal named FRUIT and FIBRE? Anyway, what little bit of fruit there is is rather tasteless and doesn't add much to the cereal, in this instance I can say you'd be much better off to have a bowl of bran flakes and add a handful of nuts and chopped fruit yourself.
I wasn't impressed with this cereal at all, and to be honest with it being a Morrisons own brand product I should have realised that the quality wouldn't have been the best. I paid around £1.49 for this box and will eat it until it's gone because while it's not the best cereal in the world, it's certainly not the worst either. However I won't buy this again as you can get much better quality for a few pence more by buying either Sainbury's own brand fibre cereal or even a small box of Kellogg's.
I found the Morrisons Fruit & Fibre to be filling enough, I ate mine at 7am and it filled me up until lunchtime which is great as it meant I wasn't reaching for the biscuit tin by 11am and could wait for my lunch. Because fibre gives you energy slowly it's best to drink plenty of water after eating this cereal as the water will swell the fibre in your tummy and make you feel fuller for longer, this works too as after eating any of these fibre cereals if you start feeling peckish an hour later then a small glass of water is usually all you need to help yourself feel full again.
Each 30g bowl of Morrisons Fruit & Fibre contains 170 calories and 2.5g of saturated fat, from memory this is about the same as other cereals of this nature with most of the calories coming from the huge amount of sugars that supermarkets seem to pack these so called healthy cereals with.
Cereal I love it! Not that I'm ever up for breakfast don't get me wrong me, no I like eating it any time of the day and the one's that are my favourite are one's with lots of dried fruits in to tickle my taste-buds and satisfy my sweet tooth. Like most people reading this I like sweet things that are bad for me but I always have fruity cereals about to try get myself to stay on a healthy path with my diet and I have to say I've always found it to work but that's because I love and adore cereal lol.
It has to be said when it comes to this type of cereal I find that shops own brands actually usually fall quite flat. Either the flakes are soggy and not malty and tasty enough or there isn't enough fruit or something so I was a bit disappointed when this came through the door and was aware my Mother (who I live with) had got this because of the price alone and cos I' the only one in the house that gorges on it lol
The Packaging....
500g cardboard box of which the front and back are exactly the same. I'm told it's Morrison's Fruit & Fibre, Whole Wheat Flakes Mixed With Dried Fruit & Roasted Chopped Mixed Nuts all in purple, large lettering. At the top of the box I'm told to eat smart and that it is high in fibre, there is a photograph of the cereal in a bowl and at the bottom there is an at a glance nutritional chart, I'm told it contains folic acid, is suitable for vegetarians, size is stated and that the best before date is stamped on top of the box (which it is). On one side of the box again I'm told what it is, ingredients and allergy advice is given, nutritional information and how to store it is stated and I'm told how to contact Morrisons and on the opposite side of the box I'm shown other cereals available from Morrisons. On the bottom of the box there is of course a bar-code. Over-all the packaging is nice enough. It isn't economy looking particularly and as far as I'm aware this is also available in 250g and 750g boxes.
Eating It....
Well it comes to us stored in a white almost see-through bag which is sealed within the box. You open that up and are met with the cereal of course lol. Pour it into a bowl and your met with a lot of what looks like bran flakes and some bits of fruit. It looks ok, don't smell particularly and you add milk of course unless you really want to nibble on this dry.
The problem arises for me when I add milk. I don't like loads of it and what happens is it immediately makes my flakes looks very soggy and taste that way too. It happens so fast I can't get a crunchy cereal from this, it pretty much goes to mush.
However overall it tastes ok. As expected you get more of the flakes than anything else and although soggy they do have a slightly malted taste not too sugary and if you do eat them dry they are crunchy and in the taste stakes rather nice really providing you don't mind soggy cereal. I sort of got used to it lol.
The amount of fruit though isn't great and for me not anywhere near enough. I'm told there is 15% raisins in this and that may be so but in comparison to the large flakes I struggle to find the fruity bits but what there is, is pleasant enough. Again none of the fruit is candied as such and they have natural favours to them. There is dried apple, coconut and banana flakes. I never knew there was any apple or coconut in this product till I just read it in the ingredients whilst writing this review! However there is only 3% coconut and 1.5 per cent apple so I'm sure you'll excuse the fact I cant see or taste them. They must be tiny flakes and quite flavourless really to go so undetected. The banana is also disappointing. I can see the dried flakes, they do soften but they don't taste very much at all. Occasionally you will get a tiny bit of flavour (as there is 6% banana) but really not as much as I expect or like.
The nuts are chipped in. You can see them cos I always find they sink to the bottom of my dish. Once again though these are really finely chopped hazelnuts and almonds and again.....sorry don't contain all that much flavour really. In taste this is really a bran flake sort of cereal with bits floating and a taste off some raisins if your lucky lol!
Filling it is actually and for me this is more of a cereal to eat because it's fortified with vitamins and iron more than to eat for pure enjoyment. If your on a health kick or someone who eats to live then this is for you. For me and my palette I prefer something more crunchy and flavoursome and I'm not all that keen on this at all to be honest and I've had alot better but it is bearable and not revolting or anything lol!

ASTORIA, Ore. (AP) An Astoria man held on $1 million bail has pleaded not guilty to 72 child pornography charges.
The Daily Astorian says investigators began looking into prescription drug sales but then turned to child pornography as they bought more than 700 images and videos involving children as young as 4.
District Attorney Josh Marquis said Monday the 72 counts of encouraging child sexual abuse amount to one each month since December 2006 against 45-year-old Michael Wangen.
Wangen is a volunteer for the Astor Street Opry Company and director of the children's program "Junior Shanghaied in Astoria."
He appeared Monday in court. He's due back Jan. 4.

HIGHWORTH twice surrendered the lead in a 2-2 Hellenic Premier Division draw at Reading Town last night.
On-loan TJ Bohane, back in the team after returning from holiday, scored a goal either side of half time, but the visitors were pegged back on both occasions, the latter a late free-kick costing Highworth victory.
Meanwhile, Les Gill is hoping his Shrivenham side can bounce back from Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Abingdon when they travel to Oxford City Nomads tonight.
Shrivvy are rock-bottom of the Hellenic Premier and boss Gill said: "There's no question we could do with a win just to get the confidence back.
"We've won in the cups recently but I'd rather those results had come in the league.
"We've worked so hard over the last few weeks and the weekend was so disappointing.
"They scored through a sloppy backpass and a worldy goal, so it was a bit unfortunate for us.
"But I'm confident we can move on and go for it. We will keep plugging away."
Gill is without several players tonight including Taylor Gill, but he is able to welcome back Warren Fuller and Lewis Sopp.

I'm not very confident about it (reduction population, and a more sensible consumer behavior being more realizable than to increase animal well-being. It's a matter of meat being offered at ridiculously low competitive prices that won't allow for anything remotely resembling sensible farming and not even for a qualitatively good and healthy product. I'm convinced most farmers would very much like it differently and produce qualitatively good and healthy meat and treat their live stock right, but with the prices of today, it just not possible. And I don't agree that it's okay.
For me the only solution to a very wide range of problems is to drop the human population back down to about 1 billion and seriously curb our predilection to consumerism. There isn't much I can do about this though without becoming the most vile tyrant ever to rule the earth.
As long has hundreds of millions of people are heading to the market with coupons to save a buck a pound on food stuffs, the market will provide them with the most plausible response to their demands. The only way to do that is through high production processes that unfortunately detract greatly from the quality of the end goods, be they bushels of carrots, boxes of burgers, or plastic cups. To this end I praise those who shop at the organic markets but I reserve judgement of the majority who cannot afford such luxury.
Yes I think so it would be less strain on nature and environment
A lot of people here assume that the only reason for being a vegetarian is the "moral" aspect. As a vegetarian, and being close to many vegetarians, I can say that is not so. It is the disgust.
Its kinda like this: Some people don't mind eating cows and goats, but they find the idea of eating a dog or cat disgusting. They find the idea of eating human flesh even more disgusting. Which is irrational. To us vegetarians, we find ALL flesh disgusting. Its not the morality.
Well it is rational if you really have a preference in terms of taste. But, many people have no idea what cat or dog tastes like, but they are like "yuck" at the idea of eating dog or cat.
A couple of days back we were driving on the highway, looking for a motel. All of us were very hungry, and I was the only vegetarian in the car. We found a dead dog (hit by some vehicle) lying on the road with its flesh & blood all over the place. I commented, "Well there's your lunch". My wife (non-vegetarian) said, "well just because you don't eat non-veg, you dont have to say things like that!". I said, "Whats the problem? You love that stuff, right? If you can eat goat, then why not dog?". Grim silence.
They had goat biryani and chicken curry for lunch. Guess I will never understand.
The only real answer would be social convention.
I don't think I would start a steady diet of cats and dogs because I have been psychologically programmed not to thing of those species as food. If I ever try it I may even be so disgusted by the thought that it will effect my perception of the taste.
I have eaten horse and, apart from it tasting disgusting, I have no quams about it. But I do know that in other cultures horses are not considered as foodstuff. It is quite common to have social conventions against the consumption of certain animals and nearly all have one about consuming fellow humans.

|Lead this one today in that wicked wind. First try, got to the crux and was perplexed. The feet are horrible. I personally thought this wasn't very height dependent after I figured it out. Sure a tall person will have an easier time, but I'm 5'6" and I 'sent it on my second attempt. You have to get creative with your feet. Don't get me wrong though, the move to start the crux is hard as hell. If anyone wants my beta give a shout and I'd be happy to post it.

|Great route. Tough crux move if shorter (I'm 5'6"), but very doable. Took me a few tries to get it. It's an easy climb to the roof and after the crux move over it, but those few moves in between definitely define it and make it the 10+/11- that it is. Great bolt protection throughout.

|I'm 5'8" and had to stretch pretty darn hard to reach the onsight (the key hold is an optical illusion in that it doesn't look like anything from below). After you gain the positive edge, it's just a high step and a hard pull to the easy stuff on the headwall above. This climb receives no fun points from me. Not worth doing IMO unless you are tall and trying to add an eleven to your tick list; it is an annoying 10+/11- move with ledge fall potential in the midst of a dull 5.7 face. Sorry to be such a negative Nancy; on a lighter note, the 11 face around the corner is among the best in the Denver area :)

I think this is the worst route at the cliff... maybe it is my being short bias, but it isn't any fun. Boring 5.7 climbing to the roof followed by a ridiculous reach. If you can get the jug, it is one interesting 10+ move to pull over the roof, followed by more boring climbing.
I'm way too short to reach the jug and was trying to bump up on crap, but the rope kept getting in my way. Either you don't clip the bolt above the roof and risk a ledge fall, or the rope makes in very hard to get your hand up and your foot around.

|Interesting 5.10-ish moves for the first two clips give way to the roof. There was a hornet's nest forming at the roof which I demolished before finishing out the climb. The crux sequence is fun, and a bit committing. There are some small holds that are useful for shorter climbers under the roof. One 5.11 move guarantees the summit. You can clip with one hand off the jug off the roof with your feet dangling, not that I'd ever do anything like that ;-). Fun for spectators and climbers alike. Give it a go!

Even at 5'8" I didn't have to jump far to get the rail on the roof. I'm not sure height is an issue so much as committing to reach over -- it definitely feels exposed up there.
The little left-hand flake on the lip of the roof helps a little, but you're better off throwing for the roof as soon as you have even a marginal grip on it.
It might be possible that being too tall makes pulling over the roof more difficult. After you get both hands on the rail, you'd have to scrunch up pretty good to put your feet on if you were tall.

Grabbeth thy mighty underclings, lock that core down, and windmill your right hand up--all tha way up--for glory. Match, and indeed, cut loose. (Freeing the feet comes naturally. It worked well for me long before having read this description.)
A word about the bolting, though. I call this one "gutsy" not because the falls would in any way be dramatic, but because the first roof bolt puts you in a bad way for rope burn. Far better would be to have put it high and right, out of the way. As is, I think your best bet for success is to gain the hero edge first with your right hand, z-clip left, then unclip that first roof bolt and THEN cut loose and continue. (All that may sound cryptic, but it'll all make sense once you're there. JUST REMEMBER TO SKIP ALL THAT INTERMEDIATE BULLSHIT...if'n' you're long enough....)

|Mostly easy climbing with just a couple of bouldery moves, not something Id go out of the way to climb, but an easy 11 to tag if youre in the area. I dont think it is as height-dependent as some suggest. Im 57" with 0 ape index, and I did all the moves statically. The crux is protected really well with two bolts, one under the roof and one just over the lip. Clipping the bolt over the lip is a different story though, if you fall while clipping it, youll most likely hit the slab below. SPOILER ALERT: I clipped the bolt over the lip while hanging on a tiny crimper at the lip, before I knew where the jug was. This is a strenuous clip especially since your waist will still be below the roof bolt, so you can only pull up a bit of a slack at a time, but if youre onsighting, it is a less committing clip, because you can downclimb back to the alcove and recover after. If you clip this way, I would do what Top Rope Hero suggested above: intentionally zip-clip first (to make the clip faster, but not less dangerous), downclimb to the alcove, unclip the roof bolt from climber side of the rope then reclip it to the belayer side of the rope (thus fixing the z-clip). Rest as long as you want, then fire up the crux taking comfort in the protection of a toprope.
