Rated 5 / 5 stars
you know what would be cool? if they made a remasterd super metroid and put music like this. awesome song though dude :D
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Like everyone said, it lacks somthing...BUT that is how it always was with metroid boss music
Exactly. :P And I'm a remasterer. I don't full-on remix. So my remasters will keep the traits of the original tunes.
Plus, this song was quite good in its repetitive beat, imo. It just plain and simple works.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
good I guess...
But it certainly lacked something. Personally, you're instrument choice was great, but it sounded to repetitive, kinda like this sentence. You could have seriously varied the pitches or.... something, anything. Its just the main guitar that you used from the very beginning to the end was..... plain.
This was good nonetheless, so I'll give you that, but it had so much potential. =/
I suggest reading Firerocker's review above...he summed it up pretty well: Metroid music is, at its heart, rather repetitive. But it's repetitive with some excellent beats, which is what makes it epic. :P
I do agree, I could've put more variation in this tune. You'll notice some strings come in on the second loop...that was my effort at variation.
But, at my heart, I remaster songs, not remix them. That means I keep the original tune intact. Loopiness and all. XD
As for the guitar...yeah, I could've refined it more. I apologize for that. I think this was as good as the current software I had at the time could go, you see.
Thanks for the review; it was very constructive! :3
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
respect, yo
I love metroid

AVI File - Audio not Synced
I downloaded an AVI file of the third episode of Lost for this season.
Here are the specs for the file.
The sound is noy synced. Is there a way to correct this or should I download another copy? So far I downloaded what I thought were two different versions of that episode and they had the same problem. No other episode has this issue. My guess is somebody fowled up this episode and a million people renamed it and stuck it on their xdcc server.
Anyway I'm in the queue for two or three other copies of the same file each one is a slightly different size. In the meantime, is there a way to correct this file?
$ file Lost.2x03.Orientation.HDTV.avi
Lost.2x03.Orientation.HDTV.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 608 x
336, 23.98 fps, video: XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 48000 Hz)
Now, I see its an mpeg with the avi wrapper. Should I convert it to
pure mpeg?
I tried making a SVCD out of this file too, and the picture is squashed
from the sides, the people are thin... and I don't mean Hollywood
Thats my second question, how would I be able to make a respectable
SVCD out of this?
You have a MPEG-4 video with MP3 sound in avi container. Since both are lossy codecs every re-coding should be avoided. I'd recommend Avidemux. Open the file, adjust time shift, save. (Leave both audio and vido to 'copy').
I do not think SVCD can be respectable. It even does not allow this high resolution AFAIK. Not to mention this means re-encoding (= more quality loss).

With 20 offers under his belt, cornerback Tre' Bell (Jersey City, N.J./St. Peter's Prep) is ready to ramp up the visits, and he will make three over the next three weekends.
On Saturday, Bell will visit Florida for its spring game. It will be the first time Bell, a Florida fan growing up, will see the program up close.
"I cannot wait to see The Swamp," he said. "I'm going to see some fast and high-tempo football."
Bell picked up his offer from Florida in February and has kept in contact with the staff at least once a week. He speaks regularly with coach Will Muschamp, secondary coach Travaris Robinson and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. Bell will have a few questions for them when he finally gets to meet them in person.
"Just about how they use their corners on defense," he said. "I want to get a chance to see that, see how they use their defense. Of course questions about education and things like that."
As a Gator fan growing up, would Bell commit on his visit to Florida?
"I don't know. It would have to be something I talk about with my parents."
On April 14, Bell will visit one of Florida's SEC East rivals. He will be in Columbia for South Carolina's spring game.
Much like his Florida visit, Bell wants to meet the staff, especially coach Steve Spurrier. Bell has been in contact with Gamecocks assistant G.A. Mangus but has yet to speak with Spurrier.
"I want to get a chance to see how they use their DBs as well. They play a lot of them," he said.
Bell's last scheduled visit will go to a place he has seen once before. He was at West Virginia for its junior day in February and will be back for the spring game April 21.
"They showed me a great time," Bell said of his junior day trip. "I went to see a basketball game. I had a chance to talk to coach [Dana] Holgorsen. I was with [assistant Daron] Roberts basically the whole time.
"… I want to see the football part now. I want to see how exciting they really are. I can't wait to get down there."

What is it with former Ducks getting paired up with prolific scorers?
First Brendan Morrison was centering Alex Ovechkin in Washington.
Now apparently Drew Miller was on a line with Vincent Lecavalier (and Stephane Veilleux) in Tampa Bay.
Miller was a third and fourth-line grinder for the Ducks who played in the 2007 playoffs as a rookie.
He was traded to the Lightning for Evgeny Artyukhin in August, and Ducks general manager Bob Murray acknowledged at the time that Miller probably didn't get a fair shot in Anaheim.
Miller has no points in 13 games.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (JTA) When Bill Bradley first ran for the Senate in New Jersey in 1978, many Jewish activists backed his Republican opponent, who was seen as a strong supporter of Israel and a friend to the Jewish community.
At the time, Bradley, who had retired a year earlier from a star-studded career with the New York Knicks, said he understood the Jews' decision to support the incumbent, but stressed that he, too, would be a good friend to the Jewish community and expected the same support once he was in office.
He was right. He won that year and went on to serve three terms in the Senate with strong Jewish support before retiring in 1996.
Now, as Bradley takes on Vice President Al Gore for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, Jews, who make up one of the most consistent voting blocs within the party, are taking stock of Bradley's career and his relationship with the Jewish community.
Many longtime Jewish activists in Washington say that although Bradley was always supportive on issues such as Israel and the plight of Soviet Jewry, he never took a leading role in sponsoring legislation.
They say this contrasts with Gore, who they describe as a leader on Jewish issues during his 16 years in the House and Senate and during his seven years as vice president of an administration strongly supported by many Jews.
Morris Amitay, who served as executive director of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee from 1974 to 1980 and now heads a pro-Israel political action committee, said that while Bradley was "not particularly a Middle East maven," officials at the pro-Israel lobby "always considered Bradley a good friend of Israel a solid supporter" on issues such as foreign aid to Israel.
Several Jewish activists who worked with Bradley over the years said he tended to devote more of his interest and time to issues such as tax policy.
Still, Bradley has built up considerable Jewish financial and political support. And several of his top aides are Jews: Doug Berman, his campaign chairman; Gina Glantz, his campaign manager; spokesman Eric Hauser; and Marcia Aronoff, a top adviser who worked as an aide to Bradley while he was a senator and now is working out of his West Orange, N.J., campaign headquarters.
Indeed, Aronoff disputes the view that Bradley was not a leader on issues important to Jews. In a recent telephone interview, she detailed his successful efforts to pass legislation during the oil crisis which stretched through the 1970s that directed the Carter administration to fill U.S. petroleum reserves as a way to wean it from its dependence on oil from the Arab countries.
There was "nothing more important at that time then being willing to stand firm and free U.S. foreign policy from being hostage to OPEC," Aronoff said.
"I don't think Bradley takes a back seat to anyone in terms of what he accomplished," added Aronoff.
She said Bradley strongly opposed the sale of AWACS, a sophisticated radar plane, to Saudi Arabia; was an early co-sponsor of 1995 legislation aimed at moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem; and opposed a 1986 tax reform bill that would have taxed scholarships, including those some Orthodox institutions give their students.
In a speech last month to the Orthodox Union the first to a major Jewish group since declaring his candidacy Bradley indicated that he would be a friend to Jewish voters on key issues: Israel and religious freedom.
Bradley avoided direct political campaigning during the event held to honor retiring Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.) for his decades of service defending Israel and promoting Jewish causes.
But Bradley, in recalling Moynihan's ideals and accomplishments, seemed to imply his own goodness by association with the veteran New York senator, who had just weeks before endorsed Bradley's campaign.
Bradley touched on Moynihan's history as a statesman and as American ambassador to the United Nations, including his support for Soviet Jewry and his vehement defense of Israel against the 1975 United Nations resolution equating Zionism with racism.
Alluding to Moynihan's sponsorship of the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Relocation Act, which requires the U.S. to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Bradley praised Moynihan's support of Israel's right to choose "the capital of its choice" as the recognition of "a simple truth translated to the law of the land."
Bradley also stressed in his remarks the need for more legislation to protect religious freedom in America.
"Americans should never have to choose between their career and their conscience," he said.
The remark seemed to be a nod to the Orthodox community, which has been taking the lead in lobbying Congress to pass legislation known as the Workplace Religious Freedom Act, which would give employers less latitude in deciding whether to accommodate a worker's religious needs.
Rabbi Menachem Genack, head of the kashrut division of the Orthodox Union and a New Jersey Democratic Party activist close to both President Clinton and Gore, said both Bradley and Gore would make good presidents, but he thinks Gore would be better.
"I know where his heart is," Genack said of Gore, expressing the view of many Jewish Democratic activists. He added that he believes that "there is no comparison" between Gore and Bradley's leadership on Israel and other key issues.
While many of those who have worked with Bradley said he often left "Jewish issues" to his fellow Democrat from New Jersey, Sen. Frank Lautenberg, Aronoff, Bradley's adviser, disputed that view.
Other Bradley activists said they are supporting him because he addresses social and domestic issues dear to many Jews.
June Fischer, a longtime Jewish and Democratic activist from Scotch Plains, N.J., said Bradley "addresses the pluralistic issues I was weaned on," noting that he opposes school prayer, backs reproductive freedom and supports minority and gay rights.
"Bill Bradley is just a comforting factor," said Fischer, who is active on the campaign. "He is all- inclusive."
Although Bradley as a senator supported various experimental programs that would give money or tax credits to parents who send their children to private or parochial schools a position long anathema in most Jewish Democratic circles his aides have said he does not believe vouchers are the "answer to curing public schools."
However, Aronoff said Bradley is "willing to look at any reasonable ideas" that will help students learn.
Nancy Beren, a longtime Jewish and Democratic activist in Houston who raised money for Clinton and Gore in the past, said this time she is backing Bradley.
"My support of Bradley is not against Gore," she said. "I am for Bradley."
Rep. Jerold Nadler, (D-N.Y.), a Jewish legislator who represents parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, said that he believes both Bradley and Gore are good on issues of Jewish concern. But he is supporting Bradley because he believes he is a "much more electable candidate" against the eventual Republican nominee, who at this point appears to be Texas Gov. George W. Bush.
Recent polls show Bush easily beating either Gore or Bradley in a two-person race.
Nadler said in a recent interview with JTA that he thinks Bradley "is articulating a more progressive and forward-looking vision than anyone else in the campaign." He cited Bradley's proposals for universal heath-care coverage and public financing of political campaigns.
"I think Bradley will have a lot of support" from Jews, Nadler said in a recent interview.
Some other prominent Jews who have thrown their support behind Bradley include Sen. Paul Wellstone (D-Minn.); Abe Pollin, owner of the Washington Wizards; Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks; and Louis Susman of Solomon Brothers.
It is difficult to assess Jewish financial giving to Bradley because he does not accept political action committee contributions or "bundled" contributions, which is money that is given to a group that in turn passes the money to the candidate earmarked by the contributor.
But Ira Forman, the executive director of the National Jewish Democratic Coalition, said Bradley "has gotten very significant support from the Jewish community."
And although Gore easily leads Bradley in various national polls, recent polling of the Jewish Democratic vote in New York where Jewish voters make up 25 percent of Democratic voters indicates that the two candidates will be battling for the Jewish vote there.
In surveying 375 Jewish Democrats over the course of seven to eight months, pollster John Zogby's numbers show Bradley leading Gore 40.5 percent to 32.4 percent. Those figures fell within the margin of error for the poll, which was plus or minus 5 percent.

If a good giggle and top rate entertainment is your kind of Valentine's Day treat, then the first ever appearance in Banbury by 4 Poofs and a Piano is a date not to be missed.
The four mega-talented guys play The Mill Theatre on Thursday, February 14 for the launch gig of their 2013 comedy tour.
The group 4 Poofs and a Piano need no introduction for fans of the Jonathan Ross Show; they were the resident house band for the prime time BBC TV show for nine series.
Now, in a new incarnation, they are taking their unique brand of music and comedy around the country and the Banbury show gives everyone the first chance to see the new, bigger, louder, harder, longer 4 Poofs and a Piano!
"We're back, in a whirl of pizzazz, wit and glittering charisma with a new line-up and a show that promises to be the best ever!" said original member Big Dave Wickenden.
"Joining me is the fabulous Graeme Clark who promises to bring a notable level of butch twinkle to the proceedings and the brilliant, gorgeous Ian Lilley who will be busting a move while hitting that top 'b'. Ian is younger than the other Poofs – considerably younger – and cute and talented – and young! This makes the other Poofs hate him a little bit already and we may decide to sell him to Angelina Jolie if he's not nappy trained by July!"
"Last but not least, the new 4 Poofs and a Piano features the legendary Bobby Crush, whose fingers are so fast and light that he could vajazzle a ferret while playing Rachmaninov! We promise to have everyone from students to the blue rinse brigade in Banbury reaching for their Tena Ladies!" said Big Dave.
The three new Poofkateers join Big Dave, famed for his one-armed choreography, immutable smile and legendary dance moves that have made him an icon to plus-size gays everywhere, in a sparkling evening to really lift the spirits.
The Poofs captured the hearts of millions of BBC viewers during their tenure as the house band with Jonathan Ross. Tickets for the show cost £15 from 01295 279002.

Microsoft is making a good chunk of change off of Google's Android mobile OS. In a series of patent-protection deals announced recently, Microsoft is shown to be basically legally extorting money from Android device manufacturers citing patent infringement as the cause for royalties. One of the biggest and most recent of these deals is with Samsung. The deal is currently under negotiation, and could net Microsoft $15 per handset. According to market analysts, Microsoft is actually making more money from Android than they are from their own mobile platform. To many, this may seem a bit underhanded. In a statement to the press about a similar deal with HTC last year, Horacio Gutierrez, Microsoft corporate vice president and deputy general counsel of Intellectual Property and Licensing, said,
"HTC and Microsoft have a long history of technical and commercial collaboration, and today's agreement is an example of how industry leaders can reach commercial arrangements that address intellectual property."
One wonders if HTC feels the same way.
While Microsoft hasn't publicly bared their fangs like this in a while, the company has never really abided by a Google-esque "don't be evil" methodology. In fact, Microsoft has made somewhat of a name for itself in the world of aggressive business strategy. In a paper published by ECIS, a timeline of Microsoft's alleged anti-competitive tactics is laid out, beginning with their practices against DR-DOS in the early 80's, all the way through the Corel WordPerfect days, and eventually leading up to server competition with Sun and Oracle, and their most recent struggle with the inclusion of Internet Explorer in every copy of Windows.
The legality of any of those tactics notwithstanding, the actions Microsoft has taken in the past to quell competition were anything but pacifist. Ex-CEO Bill Gates himself was the leader of this charge, and he's been known to use rhetoric that explicitly placed Microsoft in an aggressive light.
"What we are trying to do is use our server control to do new protocols and lock out Sun and Oracle specifically"
"If Intel has a real problem with us supporting [Intel's microprocessor rival, AMD] then they will have to stop supporting Java Multimedia the way they are."
"Intel has to accept that when we have a solution we like that is decent that that is the solution that wins."
"This anti-trust thing will blow over. We haven't changed our business practices at all."
As Microsoft's dominion in the market's eye slowly but steadily diminished in the hands of CEO Steve Ballmer, Microsoft toned down the aggression and began to focus on survival, at least as far as the public was concerned. However, a schoolyard bully is created at home, and Microsoft is no different. While the playground may have gotten a lot bigger and scarier over the last 10 years or so, the culture within Microsoft itself hasn't changed a bit. According to Scott Barnes, former Microsoft product manager,
"The culture within allows bullying, in fact it's very "lord of the flies" at times when there is little or no direction and/or worse when there is failure upon failure occurring (as you end up with "hey I can fix that, get of my way…" followed by more…"hey I can fix that fix, get out of my way") moments."
According to Barnes, the destructive culture of bullying and power plays is pervasive enough that getting rid of Ballmer won't help; it may actually make things worse. What remains would be a power vacuum, a void that the heads of every disparate and misaligned product group will vie for viciously until only one remains.
"90,000+ employees do not take their marching orders from a single man. It goes through layers of bureaucratic passive aggressive stakeholders first."
The recent spate of patent "deals" with Android phone manufacturers are only a small part of a much bigger picture, a picture of a bully that can't see that its own aggressive behaviors are possibly the single largest factor in the current slide down the tech empire food chain. Sure, money will be made, and many will see that as the only judgment that matters, but Microsoft is not in the same environment it used to thrive in. It no longer has the power and reputation it once enjoyed, and it can't afford to take pot shots at smaller companies and technologies for marginal short term gains. Maybe this is what David Einhorn saw when he called for Ballmer's resignation in May.
The industry as a whole is generally optimistic about Windows 8 and the changes that the new OS will bring to the entire Microsoft infrastructure. If implemented correctly, we could see a new level of integration and seamlessness that has become the Achilles heel of Microsoft product groups. Cohesion and synergy, from both a tech and personnel perspective, is what the company needs to get back on its feet, and Windows 8 looks promising. Unfortunately, these patent deals make it look like business as usual for Microsoft. It's another reminder that the corporate culture within Microsoft is one of aggression and perceived dominance, and it's an attitude that the company could really do without.

As an outdoorsman, I've always enjoyed the challenge of outsmarting whatever prey I was after. If that means hunting, it's especially important to know what happens when you pull the trigger, because there are no throwbacks once the decision is made. You shoot it, you eat it.
I've learned to pick and choose my hunting practices to match up with my pallet.
It's a whole different story when I throw a hook in the water, though, and once again, I'm equally picky about what I keep. And while there's never any sure things in fishing, you can target certain species to better your chances of catching exactly what you're after.
Of course, the surprise factor is one of the great things I like about fishing, but what I like even more is to catch it, photograph it, and release it.
For that reason, I really don't have to concern myself with the state's new bass regulations, because I am strictly catch and release when it comes to smallies, bucket mouths and spots.
However, while I'm in the largest group of catch and release anglers, there are some catch and eat fishermen of bass, so for you, be aware of new rules that the DOW has put into effect this year.
First off, all public waters (unless otherwise listed) now have a 12-inch minimum length limit, and the daily limit for black bass, singly or in combination, of five fish.
It gets more complicated from here, and it's a good idea to check before you fish if you want to keep bass at any public water in Ohio.
For instance, a 15-inch limit is now in effect for eight lakes, including Milton and Sippo Lake, a 15, 2-and-2 limit for 10 lakes, including Silver Creek and Salt Fork, and a Super Slot limit for all AEP waters and 11 other lakes, including Wingfoot, Long Lake and Spencer.
Let's try to simplify it. The 15, 2-and-2 limit allows anglers to keep two fish under 15 inches and two fish over 15 inches, with the idea of promoting growth of bass to larger sizes.
The Super Slot limit is for fish from 14-20 inches and is in effect to increase the chances of catching trophy bass. Anglers may keep two fish under 14 inches and one fish over 20, and no fish in the 14-20-inch slot.
There are other limits posted at specific lakes. These include traditional 14-inch, 15-inch and 18-inch minimum length limits, and 12-15 inch slot length limits, all with five fish daily limits on Lake Erie and inland waters, and six fish daily limits on the Ohio River. Visit wildohio.com for more information.
Just be sure to check before you eat.
Or, be like me -- catch all the bass you want, but release them to fight again.
And stick to eating bluegill, crappie, perch and walleye.

With a new coaching staff for the first time in two decades, there's a different vibe for Elk River-Rogers-Zimmerman girls swimming this fall.
"It's a lot different. A lot different. But i really like it," said junior Samantha Hendricks, after helping the Elks beat Champlin Park 94-90 at home on Thursday evening. "It's not better or worse, just a lot different."
Elk alum Luke Johnson is at the helm now and assistants are his wife Elizaberth (just married in August) and Eric Opsahl. They replaced Colleen Killpatrick, who coached 19 straight winning seasons before moving to Lakeville after getting re-married, and her assistant all 19 years, Doug Bloom, who resigned with her.
"We do a lot more short drills, not so much distance, but we are getting more into distance workouts now," said Hendricks. Smiling and rolling her eyes, she added, "At the beginning, a lot girls were like, WHAT is going on? But I think, it will play out the same."
The Elks are 2-2 in conference and 2-3 overall, losing two a pair of powers early in the schedule, Maple Grove and Stillwater.
"I think it's going well. We are getting real good efforts from the girls," said Johnson. "We have a very good core group of leaders."
Against Champlin Park, the Elks mixed things up a bit. They had first-places in seven of 12 events — by junior Lia Maegi in the individual medley, senior Marin Hayes in the 50 freestyle (her first time doing that event on varsity), Hendricks in the 100 freestyle, sophomore Margaret Schuster in the 500 freestyle, junior Jessica Young in the backstroke, and the medley and 400 free relay teams.
"Everyone swam three events tonight, not four," said Johnson. "Normally they do two relays and two individual, tonight just one individual. We want to make sure all the girls get opportunities. We have a big team, with 75 swimmers."
Johnson cited veteran leadership from Young, Hendricks, Ally Sterneman, Taylor Odegard, Hannah Johnson, and Alaina Sylvester. He added there's some talented swimmers in grades eight and nine coming up.
Hendricks said the coaches being married seems to help them connect with the team. "They act a lot alike and are very positive," she said. Opsahl contributes a lot of good technical help, she added.
Sterneman, senior co-captain from Zimmerman, likes the fact that she's been able to switch to sprints this year after doing distances under Killpatrick.
"I wanted to do 50 last year," said Sterneman, "but Colleen had (five-time state entrant) had Alli Schwab. I have always been trying to keep up with Alli."
She's been getting firsts and seconds in the 50 and 100 with times close to Schwab's.
"I like the 500, but I thought I'd be better at sprinting, and the coaches felt the same way," said Sterneman, who didn't sprint against Champlin with the lineup changes. "It's definitely different from the 500, but both are really, really hard. In sprints, everything from start to turn to breakouts all matter."
Sterneman can still reel off a good 500 when called upon, like at Maple Grove last week when she started slow but moved from fifth to second in the last 100 yards.
Next for the Elks is the Edina Invitational on Saturday.
Editor's note: The Saturday paper has to be almost complete before Thursday evening so there won't be much on this meet in the paper but we're providing a story and some photos online.

Bad Piggies Review
Bad Piggies gives the green, egg-stealing pigs of Angry Birds the chance to star in their own game. The game isn't about flinging pigs at birds, though. The simplicity using slingshot has been replaced with a much more challenging physics-based, design your own vehicle game.
The goal of each level is to get the pig from the starting spot to the finish line. At first you'll just be faced with simple slopes, but before long you'll have to get your vehicle contraptions over ramps, across gaps, and through loops.
Designing vehicles, at least from an assembly point of view, is pretty easy. You're given a grid of squares and a collection of parts, and you build your vehicle by dragging the parts onto the squares. Parts include square crates which serve to build the vehicle's frame and to hold pig passengers and egg cargo, as well as the things needed to get the vehicle moving, such as wheels, propellers, wings, and engines. At first you'll need to use all of the parts that you're given and there won't be too much flexibility in how they're placed, but soon enough you'll have plenty of options in selecting and combining parts.
Designing the vehicles isn't simply a matter of sticking parts together at random without any thought. You'll have to account for vehicle size and weight, center of gravity, power, lift, etc., because if you don't you'll watch your vehicle get stuck short of its goal, break apart coming off of a hill, or even collapse into a pile of parts at the starting line.
Once you're satisfied with your design it's time to set it into motion. If you've built a vehicle without any propulsion or engine attachments, then at this point all you can do is sit and watch and hope for the best. If you've attached drive wheels, engines, fans, soda bottles, or any other means of self-propulsion, then you'll be able to use buttons at the bottom of the screen to toggle each of them on and off, although some things like the soda bottles are one time use only. This makes the game more than just a physics puzzle game and adds an arcade aspect to it. You can come up with a great vehicle design, but if you don't do a good job of applying power at the right times then it's not likely to reach the finish line.
Once (and if) you cross the finish line, your performance will be rated from one through three stars. Each star is earned for a separate accomplishment which you can see before you start building your vehicle. These accomplishments can include goals such as just getting your pig across the finish line, making it across with your vehicle still intact, or collecting bonus stars which are usually stashed in tricky to reach spots. Just collecting one star is enough to unlock the next level, but there's motivation to return and collect more, not just on a personal level, but to collect the requisite total stars to unlock the game's bonus levels.
Bad Piggies debuted on iOS devices before making its way to the PC, and there's not that much difference between the versions. You play on a larger screen but the game's cartoon-like graphics are drawn from the HD iPad version of the game so they still look pretty good. Of course you also play with a mouse instead of your finger, but otherwise the game identical to its iPad version. Like the iPad version, you get 84 regular levels spread across four zones as well as the bonus levels and "sandbox" levels that give you lots of parts to build your vehicle, large areas in which to test it, and plenty of stars to try and collect. Leaderboards and achievements, supported on iOS by Apple's Game Center, are unfortunately both absent on the PC.
Bad Piggies is certainly more challenging than the Angry Birds games that came before it. A three year old can play Angry Birds, but without at least a rudimentary grasp of basic physics Bad Piggies will be an exercise in frustration. I had a lot of fun with the game - tinkering with vehicle designs is enjoyable, and I have to admit that watching a design failing in spectacular fashion is almost as much fun as successfully getting an experimental design across the finish line...
Final Rating: 88%. Apparently bad piggies make for good engineers.

Expectations today were high in Japan, as India is set to become the first country in the world to commit to publishing a new set of national accounts which track the nation's plants, animals, water and other "natural wealth", as well as financial measurements such as GDP, reports Juliette Jowit of the Guardian:
The announcement is due to be made at a meeting of world governments in Japan to try to halt global destruction of biodiversity, and it is hoped that such a move by a major developing economy will prompt other countries to join the initiative. Work on agreeing common measures, such as the value of ecosystems and their "services" for humans – from relaxation to clean air and fertile soils – will be co-ordinated by the World Bank, which hopes it can sign up 10-12 nations and publish the results by 2015 at the latest.
The move fulfils one of the key demands of a major report also being published today at the Japan meeting, a UN study of The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB).
The prospects for a binding agreement to protect biodiversity emerging from the Summit in Japan were grim, echoing the failure of the multi-lateral system to deal with governance of our commons — think Copenhagen's COP15. So India's bold move comes as fresh and exciting news – to a large extent driven by the leadership and entrepreneurship of Pavan Sukhdev, a Deutsche Bank economist who is the leader and engine behind the TEEB report.

By Belisa Silva on October 19, 2011 Tom Stockham, chief executive officer of SwarmBuilder Inc., believes so much in the power of word of mouth to fuel sales that he's built an entire business around it. "The reality is we all wish we could work with experts to be confident about a purchase," said Stockham, whose five-year-old company is designed to connect brands, retailers, consumers and industry-specific product experts for increased sales and customer service. "In turn, brands sell more, improve skills and product knowledge, manage product seeding and gather feedback," said Stockham, who formerly served as ceo of Ancestry.com and president of Ticketmaster.com.Citing results of a recent McKinsey & Co. report, Stockham said that 93 percent of people admit a recommendation is the most reliable source when making a purchase."At the heart of it is the expert, to drive brand-passionate sales," said Stockholm, whose said his site works with over 300 brands and more than 700,000 brand advocates.Stockham said utilizing brand advocates creates a symbiotic relationship wherein brands broaden the scope of their portfolios and consumers purchase with more confidence, in turn, increasing sales and customer loyalty for retailers. According to Stockham, gathering feedback and measurable results is also a critical part of the service his company provides. Stockham discussed a recent partnership with Dillard's and shoe company Rockport in which SwarmBuilder was charged with creating a "Rockport expert" in the footwear department of all Dillard's locations."We built an online platform, which was available to all 4,000 points of distribution," said Stockham about the contest-driven program which provided consumers with an in-store interactive Web page at the point of sale. load comments blog comments powered by Disqus

WASHINGTON – DFL Congressman Tim Walz says House Republican leaders are trying to undermine the STOCK Act, an ethics bill designed to stop insider trading by members of congress, just days before a scheduled floor vote Thursday.
Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor says he plans to offer amendments to strengthen the version of the bill passed by the Senate last week with near unanimous support.
At a press conference Tuesday, Walz's co-sponsor, Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) said that based on the changes she heard were going into the bill, "I think strengthening here is a euphemism for weakening."
In particular, Slaughter warned that Cantor might be unraveling a provision that would force political intelligence firms – companies that gather nonpublic information and sell that information to Wall Street – to register the way lobbyists do.
Walz said he was frustrated that he and Slaughter had been completely frozen out of the process of bringing the bill to the floor even though they have been working on the legislation for six years.
"We are doing an insider trading bill with insiders, behind closed doors, not sharing with us, not one call to the original authors of this bill," said Walz.
The bill is likely to pass the House by a wide margin. More than 280 of the House's 435 members have backed it, including six of Minnesota's eight House members.

The FAA's first notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on safety management systems (SMS) was published on October 7 and will require Part 139 airports to adopt an SMS program within six to nine months of publication of the final rule. Comments are due by Jan. 5, 2011. According to the FAA, the SMS is a "formalized approach to managing safety by developing an organization-wide safety policy, developing formal methods of identifying hazards, analyzing and mitigating risk, developing methods for ensuring continuous safety improvement and creating organization-wide safety promotion strategies." A 2001 International Civil Aviation Organization standard in Annex 14 requires member states to establish SMS requirements for airports. The FAA also recently released an SMS NPRM for Part 121 airlines, and Part 135 operators may be next in line.
First SMS NPRM released

Fitness App: Free — $9.99
Tech geeks that we are, we started by testing fitness apps on our smartphones. While we struck out with poorly designed yoga programs, we quickly got hooked on the Nike Training Club iPhone app (free), which walks you through 30-minute workouts customized for objectives and ability. For the complete package, you can't beat FitnessBuilder (free trial, $9.99 for Plus Access), which has over 400 ready-made workouts that can be tailored to your location (home, gym, travel) and goals.
Perfect for: Anyone with a packed schedule and small budget, or those looking to mix up their current routine.
Personal Trainer: $90 - $120 a session
Next stop was a personal training session with Equinox trainer Kelvin Gary. At Equinox, you begin with their Equifit assessment, which tests everything from your flexibility to heart rate. From there, the trainer designs a sequence of exercises that fit your body type and goals. Gary helped us target areas we didn't realize were lacking (like our weak quads, which were throwing off our balance) so that we got a more effective workout and left feeling more knowledgeable about how to improve our fitness.
Perfect for: Anyone who needs extra motivation or isn't sure how to reach their goals on their own. The expert attention means real results.
Fitist: $225 - $515 a month
For a different kind of customization, we turned to Fitist. Launched in May, the company picks the best boutique exercise studios in New York and Los Angeles and bundles them into one program. When you join Fitist, you select the plan that meets your goals (ex: Bride, New Mom) and receive a lineup of specialized classes. Co-founder Neda Talebian Funk says, "Our whole philosophy is about mixing it up, doing different exercises that complement each other." For example, the 18-class Slim package includes a mix of cycling, core/pilates, performance, and yoga. While the packages are pricey ($225-$515 a month) they cover all the class costs, plus access to fitness experts. When we booked a package, Fitist's fitness concierge suggested classes that would compliment our usual workouts, including Mixed Martial Arts to get us out of our comfort zone and Ballet Bodies to keep us toned on a trip to LA.
Perfect for: Fitness lovers with studio ADD. Anyone who gets bored in a gym and wants to work seriously toward a goal while still having fun.

Hello Everyone,
I am new to this board, but have been playing disc golf on and off for a few years now. I tore my medial meniscus, which caused me to stop for a while. I have a DGA Mach Lite Portable basket for sale, only used about 3-4 times and still looks brand new. I was looking to get $100 OBO for it. I am located in Baltimore, MD and would like to sell to a local buyer since 26 lbs may be a bit pricey to ship, but if someone wants to buy it and needs it ship, then we can figure up that cost of it. I appreciate your time and I hope everyone has a great day/night!

WACO, Texas - Baylor's women's cross country team cracked the nation's top-25 this week in the FinishLynx/Women's Cross Country Association national rankings. The Lady Bears enter the poll ranked 24th, marking the first time Baylor has been ranked nationally this season.
Baylor joins three other Big 12 schools that are either ranked in the top-25 or receiving votes in this week's poll. Colorado currently sits atop the field in first, while Missouri and Texas A&M each received votes.
The Baylor women are coming off a huge win at the Auburn Invitational over the weekend. The Bears topped 31 other teams, scoring just 83 points, to take the team title. Baylor knocked off two teams, in Florida State and Wichita State, who had received votes in the previous week's national poll. FSU and WSU finished second and third respectively at the Auburn meet.
The Lady Bears will put their ranking on the line when they return to action Saturday, Oct. 13 at the Pre-Nationals in Greenville, S.C.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hutson28 from Excellent Product I ordered two of these covers for my china and glass dishes. I have no room in my kitchen and have shelves in the garage. These covers exceeded my expectations. They are not flimsy and appear to be very well made with a terrific zipper. I am ordering two more today after seeing how beautiful, functional and well made they are. So easy to slip over my shelves and look fantastic. Highly recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2Tall from Almost what I have been looking for I haven't used them yet. I'm recovering from hip replacement and can't put them up. I did examine them and find them to be heavy duty. I have three wire racks in my basement and have been using plastic over two of them. I had actually been looking for something that was all clear plastic but couldn't find one in the size or opening I needed. So this will work just great for me when I'm able to put them up in July or August. I gave it good ratings because I know these are good rack covers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CasperB from Nice covers I have purchased four of these covers to fit garment racks I purchased from another store. The covers fit perfectly and seem like they will protect stored clothes from dust etc. I have larger garment racks and wish this cover was available to fit them, I could only find cloth covers to fit the larger garment racks.

Prairie Dogs
By 6:00 AM I was sitting in the middle of Prairie Dog Pasture, just off of Main Street and 20 Mile Drive in Parker. Nestled right off of a main drag and adjoining a strip mall, 100 or so prairie dogs make it their home. Our pup Jerry loves to watch these little varmints, and I promised him that I'd get him a picture or two for his scrapbook. It was a hoot listening to their tribal calls as these Meerkat-like critters sounded their warnings and maneuvered their tunnels and holes. I could pack a lunch and spend all day (of course, I'm easily entertained :'>>>).
Pretty Flowers
After breakfast we packed our travel gear and drove a half hour to the Denver Botanic Garden. For the next hour and a half we wandered among the manicured gardens enjoying the vibrant colors of nature's palette and the fragrant smells of spring flowers. Wow, is this a beautiful place, further enhanced by an exhibit of Henry Moore sculptures placed strategically within the gardens. Even the harsh light of midday could not take away the beauty.
Back to the Park
Next we went back to the playground in the Parker park. Lots of kids today, and Austin had a wonderful time running, climbing, sliding, and swinging. This mini-trip was capped off with a chocolate mint cone from Baskin Robbins.
Senior Championship
Ironically, the final round of the senior championship that we watched on TV, was in the city of Parker, less than 10 miles from Austin's home. However, after a "high-energy" day, I preferred the comfort of the couch over the glory of the gallery. Really fun watching these old geezers (men my age) bogey, birdie, and eagle their way around this classy prairie course. In case you missed it, Tom Lehman won it in a three-way playoff.
Laid Back Memorial Day
Up early, I edited prairie dog pics, walked the Pups, then took Austie to the playground to burn off some energy. Next we went poolside in Helman's backyard to watch Austin play and enjoy a quiet Memorial Day.
Bad Boy, Grandma!
At one time during the afternoon, Jan scolded Austin for teasing Mitzi. After some crying at being reprimanded, Austie came up with this: "Grandma, bad boy...Grandma and Mimi take time out." What can you say to that without a smile on your face?
Global Connection
My workday started with a 6:00 AM phone call followed by several others. Most of them were "foreign" calls--Taipei, Brussels, New York, and LA! I must be "time-zone challenged," as I have a whale of a time figuring out who to call, when and where.
Back to Normalcy
While I was doing consulting work, Jan was busy getting ready for the return of Austin's parents. Mid-PM, we picked up Aaron and Kelly at Denver International and brought them back to reality. We quickly grabbed our stuff and headed to the Colorado Horse Park where we had been storing our coach. In ten minutes we had the slides out, water connected, and juice on--we were back camping.
Boring day doing work.
Back on the Road
Finally, at 9:30 AM we were back on the road after hanging out around Denver for a month. We've had a great time, but it was time to go. Taking Parker Road south, we picked up I-25 South through Colorado Springs and past Pueblo turning west on State Road 60 at Walsenburg. We were retracing some of our steps from last year's motoring adventure. Viewing the Spanish Peaks to our south, we took in the vista of various shades of green across the valleys bordered by the brightly lit snow-adorned peaks. The Aspen trees were in full bud, and their bright green hue contrasted nicely with the darker pines.
Old Home Week
The state map of Colorado shows a continuous connection of the black dots that designate scenic highways. They are right--just a pleasure to drive through this country. At the junction of 160 and 159 we stopped at Del's Diner, as we had last year. It has a classic Elvis motif with a little Marilyn Monroe and James Dean thrown in. After a lunch of tacos and tostados, it was south on 159 to San Luis, then west on 142.
New Country
At Romeo, we turned south on 285 down to Antonito where we turned west on 17. My intent was to make it as far as Chama, New Mexico, before camping for the night. However, less than 10 miles outside of Antonito we were viewing down the mountain to the running waters of the Conejo River. Just then we saw a sign indicating a campground in one mile, and it was like a tractor beam latched on the coach turning us into the Ponderosa campground, a gorgeous setting with only 31 sites located on the water. Jack, the owner, put us in a nice pull-through site. However, because of the set up, we had to run our power cord and water hose under the rig. This is not a big deal, but Jan came up with a good idea: why not use our "dog power" to pull the connections under the coach? When I hooked the power cord to Jerry's collar it almost scared him to death. However, with a little coaxing of a reward, Little Mitzy, our German plow horse, first pulled the power cord and then the water hose to their needed locations.
New Friends
Within 30 minutes of set up, we met two couples who had been coming to this location for over ten years. Great people. Next year, we'd like to come back and spend a week.
Jan and I took the Pups out on a short hike down by the river then back into the valley. Soon it was back in BALY and we were on our way, heading west on 17 through the mountains, then entering into New Mexico. At Chama, we picked up 64 heading west through Dulce, then south and west through the Jicanilla Apache Indian Reservation and the Carson National Forest. We blinked through Gobernador, Navajo City, and Blanco before setting up camp in Bloomfield, just a few miles from Farmington.
Chaco Canyon
The four of us were outside the campground by 4:36 AM driving toward Chaco Canyon in our Honda Element. I'd been thinking about coming to the Chaco Culture National Historic Park for about a year, and it was finally happening. We took off driving southeast on New Mexico highway 550, a smooth four-lane road, and made great time making the 45 miles in about 45 minutes. Just past Nageezi, we turned south on 7900. The first ten miles were paved and fairly smooth. However, the next 20 miles were dirt, the surface being mainly washboard (if I didn't know better, I'd say the the person who maintains the road takes great pride in making it as rough as possible), and ten miles an hour was about our speed limit. In the pre-dawn light we saw a half dozen horses running free and a small herd of cattle searching for fodder in this barren country. By six o'clock we were at the park entrance just in time for sunrise. At 6:10 a ranger opened the gates, and we were the first car on the the road to the ruins. Within five minutes we were in the parking lot for Pueblo Bonito, the best known of Chaco's Great Houses. Soon we were on the trail viewing these amazing structures that was the center of the universe for these ancient people, the Anastazi, and the predecessors of today's Pueblo peoples, the Hopi, Navajo, and Zuni. A couple hours into our exploration, we started on a dog-friendly hike on the Pueblo Alto trail. Great views and more petroglyphs were the promise. Alas, our foot trek was ended after a quarter mile as Little Jerry took ill. Hence, we reversed our direction and strolled back to the car. We made another brief stop to see a great kiva, but then pulled into the Visitor Center parking lot before 9:00 AM. As you might have guessed, we didn't see a total of more than 20 people all morning. We purchased a few mandatory souvenirs, then had an early picnic at a table overlooking some ruins. It was a wonderful morning. The initial drive back seemed longer and rougher, but soon we were back at our motorhome, BALY.
Aztec Ruins
We were parked within ten miles of another location of Anastazi dwellings, the Aztec Ruins National Monument at Aztec, New Mexico. So after only 20 minutes of freshening up, Jan and I (we left the Pups to get some rest) were back in the car heading for another really cool place. We watched an interesting video on the Ancients, then strolled the ruins putting special interest in a meticulously re-constructed underground kiva where one could feel the presence of peoples past. Our visit to this small, but interesting National Monument ended at their museum where we purchased a small engraved Navajo-red plate that was made by a couple artisans who were demonstrating their craft.
Salmon Ruins
Enough culture for a day, you think? No, not for us. Another historically significant site was within five miles of our campground, the Salmon Ruins Museum and Research Library. Here we walked the ruin--an 11th century Chaco Canyon outlier pueblo. Reading the guide composed by the main archeologist of the dig, we moved from station to station. Highly interesting, but after a solid day of archeology and history, one kiva starts to look like the next! However, the museum was extremely well done, with just the right blend of art, history, and science.
Wonderful week!
Take a look at this shot of Aztec Al taken from the back of his pet parent, Greg's, pickup truck.
Also, we have finalized dates for our event with the city of Carslbad, California. It will run both days over Father's Day weekend, Saturday and Sunday, June 19 and 20. More to come very soon.

TRAVEL TOOLS & TOYS: Cell Phone Coverage Maps
If you need to keep in phone or Internet contact while traveling in out-of-the-way spots, cell phone coverage maps are really helpful planning tools. For example, I'm writing this as we are driving through the Four Corners and wireless coverage can be very spotty. Since I have scheduled phone calls tomorrow, this impacts were we go and stay.

What is Covered California?
Does Sutter Health participate?
New Health Insurance Exchange Explained.
Beginning Oct. 1, legal residents of California who do not have health insurance from their job or from another government program will be able to buy insurance through the state's new "exchange" called Covered California. On Jan. 1, 2014, most people will be required by law to have health insurance.
All health plans purchased through Covered California must cover certain services called essential health benefits. These include doctor visits, hospital stays, emergency care, maternity care, children's care, prescriptions, medical tests and mental health care. They also must cover preventive care services, such as mammograms and colonoscopies.
If you buy coverage through Covered California, you may qualify for federal tax credits or subsidies. Tax credits are available to people who make up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level, or $46,000 a year for an individual and $94,200 for a family of four.
The plan options vary by location and are available at four different levels: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. A bronze plan will have the lowest monthly premium, and the insurance company will pay 60 percent of the cost of services and you will pay 40 percent. In a platinum plan, the insurance company pays 90 percent of the cost of services but you will pay a much higher premium.
For more information and enrollment assistance, call 800-300-1506 for visit
www.coveredca.com.Opens new window
CPMC's Participation in Covered California
CPMC is participating in Covered California with five different Blue Shield individual/family plans and the Blue Shield small business health options program (SHOP).
Blue Shield's website, Opens new window has a tool you can use to get a health insurance quote providing specific information on plan benefits, premiums and health provider networks available to you. You may also call (888) 568-3560 to speak with a Blue Shield representative about selecting a Covered California health plan that allows you to receive care from CPMC.
Health Care Reform | It's Here Today
In 2010, the federal government passed a law - the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act) - to increase the number of Americans with health insurance and decrease the cost of health care.
The law provides access to insurance for many people who have not had it - including people with pre-existing health conditions and those who cannot afford insurance.

Geno Smith, QB
. Right position. Wilson could be considered a reach based on where he went though.

William Campbell, OG
7.215 - Etienne Sabino, OLB ...

6.194 - Zac Stacy, RB ...

The Pavilion of the Broken Horizon was the product of a design/build class under visiting professor Johan Granberg. The pavilion is a temporary structure on adjacent to Architecture Hall. The steel was generously donated by Rivers Metal Products, Lincoln, NE.
The bodily conditions of being under, on, and above constitutes a particular relationship between us and our environment (loci). This gives us a spatial understanding of our surroundings. The Pavilion of the Broken Horizon operates on this idea of spatial relativity. The body understands gravity through balance. Balance is a complex process where gravity, velocity, bodily configuration, and center of gravitation are constantly recalculated and reacted to. Designing the pavilion according to the body's position in relation to the ground plane was an exploration of our perception of height and our understanding of gravity. The overall design of the pavilion gives users a sense of unbalance and makes them aware of the process of regaining balance. This concept was achieved in two ways: the arrangement of the columns and the feeling of unstability when on top of the pavilion. Once the users let go of their grip as they arrive to the top of the canopy they realize there are few reference points. The blue color of the ribs and the layers of the canopy structure (ribs, padding, web, and expanded metal panels) interfere with the eyes' perception of depth. This, along with the elasticity of the web, gives the users a sense of unbalance.
not the sort of thing you can use as a coffee table when the studio's over, but very cool nonetheless!
wow- the cornhuskers built something that columbia and sci-arc will be jealous over. nice work!
so what was the process?

Details have surfaced from China about the announcement and launch of the 4.7 inch iPhone 6 and the larger 5.7 inch iPhone 6.
The news breaks via Tencent Digitial News in China whose source is well respected analyst Sun Chyang Xu.
The analyst believes trial production of the smaller and cheaper 4.7 inch version of the iPhone 6 will begin sometime in February with main production beginning in May.
Sun Chyang Xu predicts a formal announcement at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco which begins on June 10th with a potential launch date from June onwards.
He also suggests that Apple will stick with the same 1136×640 display screen resolution as its predecessor with a higher resolution display to be included in the larger 5.7" inch iPhone 6 which should follow in the Autumn. Of course, the 5.7" inch iPhone 6 is phablet sized and may be branded as such by Apple.
Apple launched two versions of its predecessor in the form of iPhone 5S and 5C, so it seems logical to build on the success of these by having different price entry points along with different display sizes which would offer more choices to Apple fans.
The bottom line looks to be to expect two big iPhone launches in 2014 and we will bring more as we get more.
Fancy checking out some Apple iPhone 6 concept designs?
