Peruse the PlayStation website, and you'll discover that Sony has removed most evidence of the Vita's existence. But despite the purge, a few diminutive publishers are still releasing software for the beloved portable system. EastAsiaSoft's Fast Striker might be one of final shmups to be released on the system, and while it pales in comparison to efforts like Dariusburst Chronicle Saviors, Söldner-X 2, and Aqua Kitty, cross-buy functionality and an inexpensive price help offset the game's simplistic approach.
If you're a retro enthusiast, the game's moniker might sound familiar. Fast Striker seems to sympathize with defunct hardware and was previously released on the NeoGeo and Dreamcast long after both systems have exited from retail shelves. Although it's also playable on the still-vibrant PlayStation 4, the game's appearance on the Vita demonstrates German developer NGDEV's allegiance with timeworn platforms. And if you haven't heard of the vertically-scrolling title, then you probably won't be surprised that the game's mechanics and visuals are rooted in Nineties-era shooters.
Select one of the game's four difficulty levels and you'll soon be escorted through antagonistic outer space to tackle the game's six-mission trek. The game's two easiest challenge settings play similarly, with your lone ship confronting waves of foes moving in serpentine patterns, punctuated by sub-bosses and bosses that like to fill the screen with projectiles. Although Fast Striker is shockingly free of firepower-augmenting power-ups, the game does offer different offensive approaches.
In both the lower two difficulty settings, novice and original, holding down the fire button slows you ship speed. This is useful when skirting through the narrow breaks in clouds of enemy fire. After a slight delay, its also emits a wide stream of shot, which is particularly useful for narrowing the number of attackers in the game's near-widescreen format. Feather the button and your offensive opponent narrows, which is useful for those perky foes that take multiple hits to eliminate. When you're not holding down the fire button, score-boost collectable stars are magnetically attracted to your vessel, incentivizing the use of both modes. Finally, there's the incorporation of shields which can be activated manually to crash into opponents or will trigger automatically upon inadvertent collision.
You also have a button for rear fire, which you won't need much across the first three stages of the easier challenge settings. But ramp things up to Maniac or Omake levels, and you'll definitely need to thwart adversaries trying to approach from behind. These two modes radically change Fast Striker's gameplay, emphasizing practiced play. Here, holding down a fire button releases a penetrating laser beam, which turns green after coming into constant contact with enemies. This signals a scoring boost but doesn't have an effect on the weapon's potency.
Scoring chasing is emphasized here, with bonuses for eliminating enemies in close proxemic space. You'll also have to maintain a foe-killing combo where a multiplier will deplete if the extermination halts for too long. Sadly, the game got rid of the Dreamcast's workaround for online leaderboards. That version of Fast Striker used to spit out a code that you'd enter online that would substantiate your scoring prowess.
Aesthetically, Fast Striker draws inspiration from the TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine Era. There's a decent amount of different enemy types, who exhibit a variety of behaviors. With their squatty form, subordinates don't look too menacing, but boss ships with grimacing faces are more threatening and channel an Alien/Devil's Crush vibe. Backdrops aren't too intricate, exhibiting moving cityscapes, but they are pleasing monochromatic, which helps makes the projectiles visible. Sonically, the game's throbbing techno soundtrack doesn't an admirable job at establishing a frenzied pace.
Firmly rooted in late '90/early 2000 shmup design, Fast Striker might lack the sophistication of those seeking a thoroughly modern or innovative shooter. But if you are a fan of the classics, the title has a lot going for it, especially if you own both a PlayStation 4 and Vita. Price is almost always a point of contention, but here EastAsiaSoft made a prudent decision by releasing the game at seven dollars. Vita fans, this might not be a faultless sendoff, but if it's the system last shooter, we'll be leaving with our head held high and trigger finger suitably calloused.
Fast Striker was played on the PS Vita with review code provided by the publisher.

Summary : Although Sony seems to want to put the much-loved portable behind them, Fast Striker shows the system just won't go out easy. Here's a swan song with a speedy pace, screens filled with bullets, and a variety of play modes that feels like it was conceived before the Vita was manufactured.

May 19, 2018 – It's no secret that I'm a confirmed carnivore. Sure, I like vegetables, but meat is really what it's all about.
On this day, my carnivore chromosomes were in a rage. I was craving meat. The phrase 'meat lover' marched through my brain like a high school band at homecoming.
Sure, the meat lover's pizza is on every delivery menu in the country. But pizza wouldn't do the trick. Too much bread. I love Italian food but pizza sauce wasn't tingling my taste memory.
What if I transposed the meat lover's pizza into a meat lover's stew? Yeah. That's it. That's the ticket.
The typical meat lover's pizza has bacon, sausage, ham, maybe Canadian bacon, even chicken sometimes. What did I have on hand?
Bacon? Certainly. Sausage? I always have andouille on hand but most any kind of good sausage will work. And I had a portion of a thick slice of ham. Good enough.
Got to have some kind of vegetables. Potatoes for a stew, of course. More and more I'm using Yukon gold potatoes. I haven't deserted the old standby russet. They're great for some things. Can't be beat for baked potatoes. But the Yukon gold stand up better for other purposes, such as a stew.
Corn. I love corn in anything. Fresh corn kernels cut from the cob. You can use frozen or canned corn as a short cut but it takes less than five minutes to shuck two ears and slice off the kernels. And fresh is so much better.
Tomato sauce? No, but have to have something to bind it all, continuing the transposition from pizza to stew. A can of diced tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes would work but I didn't have any. Besides, a can of diced tomatoes is another of the shortcuts I allow myself without guilt.
And how about a can of RoTel tomatoes to add a little spice?
I started with the Trinity, Louisiana's version of a mirepoix. We use onion, sweet peppers, and celery. Traditionally the peppers are the green bell variety. I have started using roasted red peppers because they're convenient and I think they add an additional layer of flavor.
Since this is a meat lover's dish, I sautéed the Trinity in bacon grease. And no, that's not unhealthy. If you use nothing but bacon grease it will, without doubt, become unhealthy. But too much of anything produces the same result. Bacon grease, used in moderation, adds a really terrific level of flavor that just can't be produced any other way. And don't forget Emeril Legasse's philosophy: "Pork fat rules!"
The potatoes will soak up a lot of liquid. While the tomatoes provide some liquid, a little stock is a good idea. I save all bones from anything I cook to make my own stock. Beef. Pork. Chicken. It all goes into the pot along with the afore mentioned mirepoix and whatever spices or additional ingredients sound interesting on stock making day. The result can be amazing.
Whipping up this dish was fun. It required little in the way of additional seasonings, thanks to the bacon, sausage, and ham. And, here's the best part: It was absolutely meat-loving delicious!
Meat Lover's Stew
3 slices thick cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 roasted red pepper, chopped
1 rib celery, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slices
1 pound smoked sausage, cut crosswise into bite size pieces
1/2 pound ham from a thick slice, cubed
1 can RoTel tomatoes
1 can diced tomatoes
2 Yukon gold potatoes, cut into bite size pieces
2 ears fresh corn, kernels sliced from the cob
1 – 2 cups stock
Saute bacon over medium heat in a stock pot until it begins to crisp and most of the fat has been rendered.
Add the onions, roasted red pepper, and celery. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften.
Toss in the sausage and ham. Mix well to let the bacon grease cover all the ingredients. Saute until the sausage and ham begin to brown.
Add both cans of tomatoes and the potatoes with enough stock to cover.
Bring the liquid to a boil. Lower the heat to medium low and simmer for about twenty minutes. The potatoes should be softened by then but not mushy.
Add the fresh corn and simmer for about five minutes.
Bon temps!

Regardless of the service or product, video marketing can provide benefits for businesses willing to devote their time to it. An engaging video can be used to build a brand, promote a product or develop an audience.
Unfortunately, because of the sheer volume of videos produced each day, most content fails to gain an audience. There is certainly an appetite for video in all niches, but various problems can prevent your content from gaining traction. Here are some of the common video marketing mistakes to avoid.
The message is overly promotional
Many brands have started to understand the power of creating engaging content that is not focused on making an immediate sale. It is possible also to create a marketing video that includes some substantial content that will be of interest to a target audience. Take this article for example. While I'm not specifically saying "Hire Port City Marketing," my hope is that the content you are reading will position my business as a thought leader in marketing, and thus worthy of your consideration.
Unfortunately, it is all too common to see videos and digital content that focus on promoting products, so viewers are unenthusiastic and unlikely to share on social media.
The video length is inappropriate
The length of a video will be one factor in determining how many people watch. Commonly, shorter videos will do better than longer ones, but there are occasions where an extended presentation works, for example a step by step tutorial.
Short videos require a minimal commitment, so you do not face an immediate obstacle of persuading people to watch. However, if you have done some pre-selling, a longer video can take the time to hit a number of the buttons integral to selling.
The mood and tone is wrong
Without a clear strategy in place, it is possible to create a video in which the tone doesn't match your overall branding. Many companies try to make a viral hit, but the content might not make any sense for your business. For example, if "dependability" is one of your brand pillars, an off the wall and wacky video might get you views but will do nothing for your brand.
Whether you are focused on being funny, suggesting something luxurious, being straight to the point or want to create a hint of mystery, think about how the mood of the video matches your branding.
Your focus is too broad
Most videos cannot tackle a wide number of topics effectively. It can be more impactful to think of a single element you want to get across to viewers, creating multiple videos to showcase different aspects of your business or product.
A focused piece of content will give viewers a defined viewpoint that sticks in the memory. In addition, a series of videos on one topic encourages your audience to engage with your brand multiple times. Plan a group of videos before proceeding, so you know in advance the focus of each video.
The video has not been optimized
Optimizing your video allows it to rank in the search engines so searchers can find it. The title is probably the most important factor, but a good description is also required.
Optimizing around a keyword lets you focus on a specific topic; related keywords can also provide relevance. As your video starts to develop views and likes, you can start to gain more prominence in the search engines, whether that is Google, YouTube or an alternative site.
Creating videos is one of the most powerful marketing methods your business can be using today. A sizable part of your audience will choose video as their preferred method of receiving information, while there are also possibilities of repurposing video content into articles and podcasts.
Many businesses make some the same rookie mistakes, and doing so holds them back. Therefore, it is important to watch out for approaches that don't produce optimal results. When you hone your method, developing videos that resonate with audiences becomes far easier, letting you focus on the important factors that offer a high return on investment.

Camouflage is nothing new in the animal kingdom... thousands of species use it for both hiding from predators and for sneaking up on prey. In these ten cases, everyone wants to be the cool kids on the block... ants. Ants, it turns out, are the Fonzies of the insect and arachnid world. Nature has totally noticed that no one f**ks with ants. They are brutally tough, they are full of acid, they fight in organized battalions, they have powerful slicing mandibles and they taste bad. Predators stay away. And so, entire groups of spiders and other insects have tapped their multiple legs thoughtfully against their mandibles and mused: "Those guys kind of rule."
Over two hundred species of jumping spiders alone have decided that ant life is the life for them. In many of these cases they do so for the protection it provides. Look like an ant, walk like an ant... no one eats you. In some other instances, it's awesome cover to sling an antskin over your back and walk out into the colony -- shaking hands and eating whoever you want.Ant-mimics usually use their first or second pair of legs to fake ant antennae, such reducing the number of functional legs to six. Look carefully, count legs. These guys are so good, if I wasn't telling you these were NOT ants, you would never know!

Myrmarachne AssimilisPhoto: Metaweb / GNU Free Documentation License
SpiderAmazingly, the baby spiders, when they are too minute to convincingly copy the much bigger ant species that the adult copies, use other smaller ant species as a model.
Myrmarachne assimilis is the only Myrmarachne species that mimics the aggressive weaver ant, with which it lives in close contact. Not only do they look alike and walk alike, it is also thought that Assimilis has developed a way to copy the chemical signatures the weavers use to recognize each other.

Myrmarachne melanotarsaPhoto: Metaweb / CC-BYSpider
Myrmarachne melanotarsa, also called the dark-footed ant-spider, is an African jumping spider found around in Africa. This Myrmarachne mimics ants, like many other Myrmarachne, of the Crematogaster genus. However, these guys are unusual in that they exhibit social behavior, forming large communities. Hundreds of these spiders, of both sexes and of all ages, can be found in such communal nests, but most nests have between 10 and 50 spiders. It is theorized (and has been witnessed) that when Melanotarsa travels in larger groups (like ants do) they are much less likely to be attacked by specialist spiders - who actually prey on ant-mimics.

Synemosyna formicaVideo: YouTube
For many salticids (jumping spiders), ants can be very dangerous... but salticid eyesight seems to be up to the challenge. Some experiments have demonstrated that many species of ordinary salticids (species that are neither ant-like nor ant-eating) readily identify ants by sight and then avoid their proximity.
Ant-like and ant-eating salticids NEED to get close to ants, however, and they apparently have abilities to survive these close encounters better than other salticids. It has been thought that accurate mimics of a particular model species survive better ... but a brand new study might suggest that imperfect mimics possibly do better than their perfect couterparts.Synemosyna formica is thought to mimic Pseudomyrmex gracilis, a nasty little a-hole that can both jump and sting.

SpiderThe house I grew up in had regular infestations of these ridiculously mean little biting assholes, and I am pretty sure I would have preferred living with the spider version.
This ant-like salticid is found from the northeastern United States southwest to Mexico. These could not look more like the super-aggressive harvester ants of the region. Specifically, note the markings on the spider's upper thorax that looks like big, bambi ant eyes.

Communication is important in a long distance relationship, but then, there are those people who really are not into saying how they are feeling, or maybe can't always put what they feel into words. You have to decipher it all sometimes or just give some space until the little tensed moment passes by and there are waves or constant emotions you go through; love, anger, sadness being neglected and so on.
It is beautiful though when, this connection is built across thousands of miles away, when it is all platonic…and you still hold on to each other, despite the distance or lack of or no physical intimacy. Yet, it is better to read the expression on someone's face or their body language without them saying a word in real rather than on a screen. it definitely is better.
There are those times when you miss someone so bad and you start feeling weak as if you're drained of all your energy, physically as well as emotionally. All you ever want and need is their presence, physically, because you know that there is some magic in their presence that would invigorate life in your veins.
Home soon, baby?

Top Foods & Snacks for A Healthy Heart
We care about keeping our hearts healthy and ticking for a long time! And, we want the same for each of you, too. In case you need a reminder, or some suggestions, of what to put on your grocery list, we've put together some of the top foods and snacks to help.
Fatty Fish
Healthy heart maintenance includes adding fatty fish to your diet. These all have omega-3 fatty acids and are great sources of protein:
Leafy Greens
The dark leafy ones, especially. Salad greens, spinach, kale, swiss chard, collard and mustard greens are rich in vitamins A, C, E and K. All their calcium, magnesium and potassium are extremely vital to heart health.Since they're loaded with fiber, which helps lower cholesterol levels, dark leafy greens help prevent constipation and they keep you feeling full longer.
A healthy heart means we're at a healthy weight, so, eat more greens!
Seeds and Nuts
And make sure they're unsalted, please! No sugar or seasonings, either. Just plain old nuts! And then grab a small handful to snack on and soak up the potassium, magnesium and other minerals that lower high blood pressure. The omega-3s also can help with protecting us from heart disease. Friendly reminder: nuts are high in calories so go easy.BeetsYes, beets. They lower our blood pressure and, depending on the intake, it can lower significantly in just a day.
Beet juice
Is the best way to go since it's a source of betalain, which is a potent antioxidant and highly anti-inflammatory. Both of those are fantastic for treating things like arthritis and heart failure, which are caused by chronic inflammation.
They're loaded with nutrients and ideally, it's best to eat one a day. If you struggle with blood pressure issues, doing so could be enough to even keep you off blood pressure medication. (Always consult your doctor first before trying a new diet!)
Legumes are a staple in a heart-healthy diet and you have all sorts of options to choose from. All sorts of beans, for example, like lentils, chickpeas and black-eyed peas.But, remember that if you're eating the canned versions, watch out for the salt! Salt raises our blood pressure, among other things, and that defeats the purpose. Just make sure to rinse off that excess salt water beforehand. Actually, do that with any canned food. Get the salt out of there!
Low-fat dairy products
Cheese, yogurt, milk can also help reduce blood pressure. Remember to keep it low-fat for heart health.
And notable mentions: olive oil (to drizzle over your leafy green salad) and oats!
Overall, the key to a healthy heart is a low-sodium diet. It may seem like a slightly strange list heart healthy items, but it's important to have a balanced diet. It's actually better to eat a variety of healthy foods and snacks. Besides, don't we all get bored with eating the same foods repeatedly?!So, remember that a huge part of maintaining a healthy heart is to watch your sodium!

Book Now
Time required: 15 minutes +
Pain level: None
Downtime: None
About the treatment
IPL laser hair removal causes permanent hair reduction. By targeting the pigment in your hair follicle with intense pulsed light, the hair follicles are safely destroyed, preventing future hair growth.
How does it work?
As with all light based treatments, IPL Brisbane laser hair removal works by emitting a wavelength into the skin, which in the case of hair removal targets pigment. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. It quickly turns to heat which then kills the growing cells that make the hair.
How long will the results last?
On an average, our IPL Brisbane Laser Hair Removal Treatment provides a 70-90% permanent reduction of hair on the treated areas. There is, however, a 10-30% chance of hair re-growth due to various factors.
Treatment preparation
A compulsory test patch must be performed within the week prior to having this treatment. Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks prior to any IPL laser treatment. The skin must be free from spray tan or tanning creams. If treating an area covered in hair, the hair must be shaved 12-24hrs prior to coming for your IPL laser hair removal treatment.
Who can have this treatment?
Our IPL Brisbane Laser Hair removal is not suitable for dark skin types or for treatment of hormonal pigmentation. This treatment is also not suitable to have during pregnancy. IPL laser hair removal is not suitable for those who have been on Roaccutane in the last 6 months, have open wounds, infections, rosacea, psoriasis or dermatitis in the area to be treated.
Post-treatment care
Apply Laser aid' every 4 hours after your treatment of IPL laser hair removal, this is available to purchase at the time of your treatment. Use of a broad-spectrum SPF50 sunscreen is essential to minimize the risk of re-pigmentation. During the weeks following treatment your pigmentation will crust and flake away, please do not prematurely pick or remove this pigment as you may cause scarring or post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see results after 4 sessions, but the most anyone typically needs is 8 sessions.
Why choose us?
CBB Blvd offers a unique collection of the best skin and body treatments hand-picked from around the world delivered by expert and experienced staff in a state-of-the-art clinic.

While the developers of location-based augmented reality game Pokemon Go have faced legal hassles with respect to how some have people have taken advantage of the game's concept to mug unsuspecting players, the game may face a slightly different issue in India.
According to PTI, a PIL has been filed in the Gujarat High Court against developers of Pokemon Go, alleging it hurts religious sentiments of certain communities by showing eggs in places of worship.
Filed by Alay Anil Dave, the PIL is likely to be heard tomorrow by a division bench of Chief Justice R Subhash Reddy and Justice Vipul Pancholi.
As per the plea, among other things, the image of eggs shown in the augmented reality game appear in places of worship of different religious groups. The petitioner has said eggs are considered as non- vegetarian food, and it is 'blasphemous' to carry non-vegetarian food inside a place of worship of Hindus and Jains.
"People playing the game get their points in the form of eggs which generally appear in the places of worship of different religious groups. To find eggs in temples of Hindus and Jains is blasphemous, and therefore my client has sought ban on the game from the country," petitioner's lawyer Nachiket Dave said.
Among other points raised against the game are that it infringes upon the privacy, and it poses threat of life and limbs to the players, who have to walk around to score a point. San Francisco-based developer of the game, Niantic Inc. and Central and state governments have been made the respondents.
Incidentally, India became one of the biggest market for the game despite the fact that it never officially released in the country.

Yup – I've hit a bit of a wall. I know there are 10000 recipes out there, but I'm stuck in a rut of making what I know works and what we will eat. Although I haven't found a bad recipe yet, but I'm just kind of tired of being so aware of the program. BUT… I know it is good with me and I definitely feel better, so I will keep on going and finish out strong!
Day 18 – ate out every meal 🙁
- Meal 1: 2 poached eggs, bacon and hash browns (I was out with a friend – so didn't cook myself, but stayed as on program as I could)
- Meal 2: Panera… 1/2 a Fuji Apple Salad with chicken (no cheese, onions or dressing)
- Meal 3: Publix Salad Bar with grilled chicken
- Snacks: Cut fruit, half a banana
Day 19
- Meal 1: 2 Egg puffs, coffee with dates and almond creamer
- Meal 2: Sweet potato with blueberries, apples, walnuts and coconut
- Meal 3: Acorn Squash soup, chicken & apple sausage and Kale salad
- Snacks: Lemon Lara bar, Apple chips
Onward and upward! (or hopefully, downward on the scale front)

HP recently executed a firmware update ~April 12, 2019 that affected printer families utilizing HP 902, 902XL, 906XL ink cartridges.
NOTE: All Inkplicity HP 902XL ink cartridges have new generation chips installed (May 2019) and will function normally, to order click here.
Refilled HP 902, 902XL, 906XL ink series printer models which display printer/cartridge error messages such as "cartridge problem", "incompatible cartridge", "remove and re-install cartridges", "cartridges not installed properly", etc. then it is possible the new HP firmware has been installed onto your printer.
The new HP printer firmware version (1910A) will lock-out remanufactured (refilled) ink cartridges if the two (2) steps are completed:
- Firmware update is installed (if you clicked 'Yes') – see photo at right. It is strongly suggested you click 'No' when this message is displayed to avoid cartridge lock-out.
- For instructions and disabling future printer HP Auto Updates, click here.
- You can permanently disable HP Automatic updates via the printer's control panel (HP OJ Pro 8710 printer), click here to watch youtube video.
- Refilled cartridge is installed after firmware update (cartridges currently installed in the printer will be unaffected until they are replaced with a new refill)
There is no simple process for remanufactured (refilled) ink cartridge customers to deactivate once the 1910A HP printer firmware update is installed. As well, it is not possible to return the printer to the previous firmware version. If you did perform a PRINTER UPDATE then all of the remanufactured (refilled) cartridge chips are likely locked out due to the new firmware update from HP. Cartridges will need to be returned to our facility and re-chipped to restore full ink cartridge/printer functionality.
HOWEVER, there is a workaround solution available if you have or obtain an extra/spare set of HP 952/952XL OEM ORIGINAL ink cartridges…refer to the suggested bypass procedure below…
If you have a spare set of HP 902 or 902XL OEM ORIGINAL empty, new or even partially full cartridges on-hand, you can perform the CARTRIDGE SWAP PROCEDURE which will get you up and running again with the refilled cartridges.*
You can activate the newly refilled cartridge by inserting a HP 902 or 902XL ORIGINAL empty or partially full 'same color spare cartridge' into the printer for ~25 seconds.* Quickly remove the 902/902XL original cartridge within 30 seconds following insertion into the printer, then you can install the Refilled cartridge(s) and printer operations should be able to resume relatively normally (i.e. some nuisance messages will be observed during printing operations, i.e. 'Non-Genuine Cartridge', 'Counterfeit' alert messages, but these may be ignored/bypassed at the printer).
HP 902, 902XL Cartridge Problem (Firmware Update Lock-Out): Bypass Instructions Video
*Only HP OEM ORIGINAL ink cartridges (i.e. HP 902 standard or 902 XL new cartridges purchased from HP) can be used to reset the printer each time. Requires a complete set of spare cartridges to activate a full set of refilled ink cartridges. You may NOT use a 'STARTER/SETUP cartridge' or an 'INSTANT INK READY' cartridge. Nor can you use 'remanufactured' or 'compatible' cartridges which were purchased off the internet. Each color must be activated by a 'same color spare cartridge' HP ORIGINAL OEM ink cartridge.
CAUTION: If installing an 'empty' HP OEM ORIGINAL cartridge, only allow empty cartridge to be installed in the printer for 30 seconds maximum, then immediately remove it. Otherwise, if empty cartridge remains in printer for more than 1 minute, air could be ingested into the built-in printhead and may result in a 'depleted cartridge'or 'cartridge failure' error message (…if this happens just activate 1 or 2 'Printhead Cleans' from the Tools/Maintenance printer menu to clear the error condition).
What printers are impacted by the April 12, 2019 firmware upgrade?
- HP OfficeJet 6950 All-in-One Printer
- HP OfficeJet 6951 All-in-One Printer (P4C86A)

Rugby Bosses To Meet With Star Player Israel Folau To Address Homophobic Comments
Rugby Australia bosses will meet with Wallabies fullback Israel Folau after public pressure to address the star players homophobic comment on Instagram that declared gay people were destined to go to hell.
It is the second time in two years that Folau, a devout Christian, has caused an uproar on social media after previously declaring his opposition to same-sex marriage.
Rugby Australia holds a firm belief in supporting "all forms of inclusion" in the sport, "whether its sexuality, race, or gender, which is set out in our inclusion policy."
RA chief executive Raelene Castle and Waratahs boss Andrew Hore will meet with Folau to discuss his use of social media.
"We understand that Israel's comment has upset a number of people and we will discuss the matter with him as soon as possible," Castle said in a statement. "Israel's comment reflects his personal religious beliefs, however, it does not represent the view of Rugby Australia or NSW Rugby. We are aligned in our view that rugby is a game for all, regardless of sexuality, race, religion or gender, which is clearly articulated in rugby's inclusion policy."
Andrew Purchas co-founders of Pride in Sport, Australia's first and only sporting inclusion program who work with all codes of Australian sports including Rugby Australia, the NRL, AFL, FFA and Cricket Australia has called Folau's comment "appalling".
"Pride in Sport is disappointed to see the appalling homophobic comments by a national sporting identity and we unreservedly condemn these remarks. Such statements work against the significant progress that is being made by codes and organisations both on and off the sporting field," Purchas said.

Cross landing: 63 days remaining until WYD '13.
In this photo from CNS/Reuters found on catholicnews.com, sailors from the Brazilian Navy deliver the World Youth Day cross to a representative group of young Catholics who will continue the global procession that has carried this crossIt has taken part in WYD in Paris (1997), Rome (2000), Toronto (2002), Cologne (2005) and Sydney (2008). It also travelled around Africa(2006), Oceania(2007), Australia (2009) and Spain (2011) according to centrosanlorenzo.com which houses the cross.
Now in 2013, as young pilgrims make final preparations for Rio 2013, the cross has landed upon the shores of the new Pope's home continent. I'm sure this duty was not one that these sailors had in mind when they signed up to defend their country on the seas. Yet what a significant and symbolic role they played as they brought the cross from sea to land, government cooperating with religion, a way of truly defending their country againt evil.
Cross landing: 63 days remaining until WYD '13

This is the episode where we get to see Char back in action again, and also just how Powerful the Federation is. It is a pretty great action episode that has some good character moments too.
"Tragedy in Jubaro," was directed by Shinya Sadamitsu and Yoshiyuki Tomino and written by Yoshihisa Araki.
The story involves the Trojan Horse arriving at the secret Federation Base at Jubaro where Matilda's fiance Woody is the captain. It is here they are taken care of until Char attacks as he was able to follow them and joins the battle as a new Zeon Gundam is released into the field.
Here is the assessment of the episode:
The Pros: The Battle – The assault on Jubaro is a fantastic battle! You see all the different types of Zeon Gundams in action including an upgraded Red Comet Gundam Char is using and the Zock, a large frog like Zeon Gundam. We also see the mass produced GM's which are smaller versions of Amuro's Gundam. The Federation puts up a good fight but Zeon is powerful and does a lot of damage including the killing of Woody before finally retreating.
Amuro – Amuro has empathy for Woody and realizes his crush was misplaced as he keeps imagining Woody and Matilda's marriage, this comes to a head when Char in his mobile suit destroys Woody's ship and Amuro in a rage charges him only to be stopped by the Zock who gives Char time to escape.
Char – He isn't an idiot and always facing Amuro with backup as he knows Amuro's Gundam is superior and doesn't know all of it's abilities yet. We see he is a good commander though and would have captured or destroyed the base of White Base 7 hadn't risen to the occassion.
Sayla, Kai, Hayato – These three are great in combat this time and each destroy a Zeon Gundam. Sayla is working with Amuro, and Kai and Hayato work together to defend the other entrance to the base. Kai is all idealistic now which is kind of cool to see as he mentions fighting so there won't be more orphans and desperate people.
Okay: Woody – He helps White Base 7 but is kind of a one note character. He is helping them and respects them because Matilda did, but we don't see much personality beyond him being a professional soldier. So his death doesn't have the same affect as prior ones.
This was a really good episode and worth watching since we haven't seen Char commanding and in battle for some time. He really is the main threat outside of the Zabi family and he earned that role for a reason. This episode was good at showing that nowhere is really safe for the Trojan Horse.
Final Score: 9 / 10. Solidly great.

The Lawnmower Man is a 1992 Science Fiction film starring Pierce Brosnan and Jeff Fahey. It was directed by Brett Leonard who wrote the screenplay together with Gimel Everett. The film's title is taken from the Stephen King short story of the same name, but aside from a single scene that is (more or less) the same, the two works share absolutely no similarities.
Brosnan plays Dr. Lawrence Angelo, who works for Virtual Space Industries developing a intellect-enhancing program known as Project 5, which increases the intelligence of chimpanzees using drugs and virtual reality. But when one of the chimps goes on a rampage through the lab with a gun, Angelo decides to quit the experiment and start a new life elsewhere. He soon meets Jobe Smith (played by Fahey), a mentally handicapped lawnmower man, whose guardian is an abusive priest named Father McKeen (Jeremy Slate). Jobe is also friends with Peter (Austin O'Brien), Angelo's neighbors' young son. Angelo decides he would like to continue his studies of intelligence enhancement, but without needing to apply it for military purposes. He realizes that he needs a human subject, and that Jobe would be the perfect candidate.
Angelo convinces Jobe to be the subject of his experiments, telling him it will make him smarter. The experiments are successful and Jobe's intelligence starts to grow as a result, and he even begins to exhibit powers of telepathy and telekinesis, being able manipulate objects with his mind, as well as hear the thoughts of others. With his newfound intelligence and powers, Jobe soon decides that it was about time he punished those who have wronged him throughout his life...
Basically, think Flowers for Algernon crossed with TRON and a latter act taking cues from Elfen Lied, and you're somewhere on the right track.
The CGI, while quite impressive at the time the film was made, hasn't really aged well. Especially Jobe's Digital Avatar, which sometimes enters the Uncanny Valley.
The film performed modestly at the box office, making over $32 million (against its $10 million budget). It became successful on home video when a sequel was greenlit called Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace in 1996. Almost none of the main actors reprise their roles (with the exception of Austin O'Brien, who plays Peter) and it was poorly received by critics and audiences, even landing a spot on the IMDb Bottom 100 list.
This film contains examples of the following tropes:
- Abusive Parents: Peter's father. Father McKeen could fit this trope as well.
- Adaptation Amalgamation: A rather weird example, which was "adapted" from a short story by Stephen King using it as an In Name Only stunt for an original screenplay. King sued filmmakers to remove his name from the credits, and, especially, film's marketing. It is weird because a) King actually liked the film and it has a lot of his common themes in it; b) film actually featured a scene adapted straight from a short story and a dialogue between two policemen taken line-to-line from it.
- Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Jobe at a certain point plans to do this, becoming Pure Energy by entering the mainframe during a VR trip. And he succeeds. Though unlike most examples of the trope, his physical body withers instead of disappearing. (one of the many things the sequel ignores)
- Asshole Victim: Jake, Father McKeen, and especially Harold Parkette qualify.
- Anti-Villain: Jobe in the theatrical cut of the first film, as he appears to genuinely believe that by uploading himself into the internet he'll be helping mankind enter a new era, and only kills people who've directly wronged him or his friends. Much less so in the Director's Cut of the film, where he crosses the line into being outright evil when he takes control of Dr. Angelo's wife and forces her to attack The Shop's agents, resulting in her being messily shot to death. And completely averted in the second film, where he's just a Card-Carrying Villain.
- Asshole Victim: All of Jobe's victims fall under this trope, which is why nobody really feels bad when Jobe kills them. The sole exception being Marnie, though her Mind Rape isn't caused by Jobe but by VSI's director reverting the VR system to the original aggressive programming. It is implied that this is why that particular trip goes bad.
- The Bad Guy Wins/Downer Ending: Phones ringing at the end means Jobe wins... Or not, seeing how the second film retconned it.
- Continuity Snarl: One of the many gripes reviewers had with the sequel is regarding how many inconsistencies they have in following the original (for starters, Jobe apparently didn't enter cyberspace leaving a decaying body behind).
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: A variation in the first film, as the head of The Shop fills this role, but is technically a government employee. Jonathan Walker in the second film is an outright example.
- Cyber Space: The second film depicts the Internet as having evolved into some sort of world-wide virtual reality network.
- Cyberpunk: The first film has some vaguely Cyber-Punkish elements, though is really more of a techno-thriller. The second film is more an outright example, to the extent where it often feels like Blade Runner meets Johnny Mnemonic.
- Digital Avatar: People who use virtual reality in both films have these, with the users in the first films getting more stylized ones, and those in the second just looking like their real-life counterparts.
- Do Not Adjust Your Set: The Lawnmower Man's desired outcome. First the telephone network, then the world!
- Dumb Is Good: ...and smart is bad.
- Maybe, although you could interpret the film in a way where Dr. Angelo is guilty of scientific hubris and exploiting an abused mentally handicapped man while Jobe's intentions are more or less benevolent, arguably even after Dr. Angelo's boss meddles with the experiments and he goes on a killing spree of abusive jerks. Whether such ambiguities are intentional, however...
- Everything Is Online: When Jobe escapes into cyberspace he gains control over every phone in the world.
- Evil Sounds Deep: Jobe has a deep menacing voice after he transfers himself into cyberspace. When he discovers that Peter, the boy he befriended, is inside the booby-trapped installation looking for him and Angelo, Jobe's voice briefly returns to normal as he releases Angelo so the latter can save Peter.
- "Flowers for Algernon" Syndrome: The film version embraces this trope as the Central Theme.
- Forgot About His Powers: For once, this happens literally in the second film; Jobe is left with amnesia as the result of being caught in the explosions at the end of the first film, meaning that while he may still be super-intelligent, he no longer knows how to use any of the other powers he had.
- Freak Out: Jobe after Terry, one of the few people who was ever nice to him, is accidentally killed by guards targeting him.
- A God Am I: The original title of the movie was Cyber God, before it was combined with the Stephen King short story, The Lawnmower Man.
- Gory Discretion Shot: We don't see the moment when Jobe messily kills Peter's father with a telekinetically-controlled lawnmower. Averted later on however, as we get a fairly graphic shot of Jobe forcing the sniper who unwittingly killed Terry to shoot himself through the head.
- Holographic Terminal: When in cyberspace.
- Hypocrite: Angelo convinces Jobe to go through with the initial experiment by arguing that the experiment could make Jobe smart enough that people could no longer take advantage of him, like Angelo is doing.
- Huge Holographic Head: Jobe is able to project himself as this at a certain point. A yellow-tinted head, no less.
- In Name Only: This film and Stephen King's original short story are both called The Lawnmower Man, and that's about it. You might think the identical titles are just a coincidence, but apparently not — several promotional posters referred to the film as Stephen King's The Lawnmower Man, at least until the author sued to distance himself from the film. The court explicitly forbade New Line Cinema from using Stephen King's name in conjunction with the film and required them to pay him 2.5 million dollars in damages. Not content with the ruling, New Line attempted to stealth market the film under the name "Stephen King's The Lawnmower Man" in several major cities. New Line Cinemas was found to be in contempt of court and had to pay King $10,000 per day until they removed his name from all associated products. King did like the film, mind you. It just wasn't his story, which led to the suit.
- The film does have a short scene where Peter's abusive father is butchered by a telekinetically steered lawnmower that's modeled after the short story, but, apart from both the movie and the short story having to do with lawnmowers, that's about it.
- Interestingly, the movie references The Shop, which comes straight out of another King novel and more or less has the same Government Conspiracy role.
- The sequel somehow manages to do this twice, having next to no continuity with either the short story or the first film.
- Killer Space Monkey: More like killer cyberspace monkey, as one of Angelo's VR-helmeted apes escapes and starts to gun down actual human guards. It's unclear if the chimpanzee truly realizes it's killing people or if it just can't tell actual thermographic footage of the facility's personnel apart from the video-game characters it's been trained to hunt down, Doom-style.
- Kiss Me, I'm Virtual: Jobe and Marnie's sex scene, which unfortunately turns into Mind Rape.
- Man on Fire: Father McKeen's fate, thanks to Jobe's pyrokinesis.
- Mind Rape: Besides the Jobe and Marnie virtual sex scene that leaves her catatonic when it turns into rape due to Jobe's loss of control over his powers, there is also the scene when Jobe, who's now both more in control of his growing powers and becoming more villainous, psychically unleashes a "Lawnmower Man" inside the head of a bully, purposely rendering him catatonic as well.
- Ms. Fanservice: Jobe's neighbor and later affair Marnie, played by Near Dark 's Jenny Wright.
- Papa Wolf: Jobe doesn't take too kindly to seeing Peter being harmed, especially by his father, Harold. This is why Harold's death is the most gruesome of the bunch.
- Psychic Powers: Jobe starts off by gaining telepathy, then telekinesis, followed by pyrokinesis, and finally the ability to cause people to disintegrate on the molecular level.
- Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh...: In the sequel, Dr. Benjamin Trace tries to knock out a security guard by repeatedly punching him in the face, except that he doesn't go down that easily.
- Start of Darkness: His inadvertently destroying Marnie's mind is implied to be what starts Jobe's descent into outright villainy.
- It is probably triggered earlier, during the first session Jobe has after the VR system is reverted to its original programming.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Dr. Benjamin Trace from the sequel is a clear stand-in for Dr. Angelo.
- That Makes Me Feel Angry: Jobe says this pretty much word-for-word in the first film's climax, after Angelo calls him a "freak."
- Time Bomb: Dr. Angelo had fifteen minutes to escape from the building before it blew up. Plenty of time, but then he went to talk to God Mode Jobe...
- Title Drop: Several characters in the first film, especially the bullies at the gas station, call Jobe the "Lawnmower Man." Jobe himself later drops the title when he Mind Rapes one of said bullies, and tells him that "the Lawnmower Man's in your head now." It's dropped earlier in the director's cut as Jobe is telling Roscoe 1138 about himself, saying it's a nickname he got because he fixes machines and mows lawns better than anyone.
- Tron Lines: The VR suits used for the cyclotron at VSI by Angelo and Jobe have these.
- Video Phone: Video phone booths appear in the futuristic Los Angeles setting of the sequel.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Could be argued this is what happened to Jobe.
- It actually starts happening after the VR system is reverted back to the original Project 5 aggressive programming.
- Your Mind Makes It Real: Averted for the most part in the first film, where whatever happens to you in the virtual world can't affect you in reality unless something goes severely wrong. Played straight in the second, where dying for any reason in virtual reality can kill you in real-life.

(This is a rough draft version published quickly to be dated before election results. God speaks before things takes place. "For the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7 ESV)
I believe God has placed signs on Donald Trump's life to confirm that He has chosen him to be President of the United States of America. God chooses our destiny for us and offers us the opportunity to partner with His plans. I believe Trump's destiny includes being President. Here are some amazing, straightforward signs from God surrounding the life of Donald Trump.
- The Isaiah 45 – Cyrus Prophecy / Donald Trump 45th President
Lance Wallnau first released what the Lord had shown him concerning Donald Trump back during the Republican primaries. He states that he was invited to Trump Towers to take part of an evangelical meeting. He sensed an anointing on Trump during the meeting. He later prayed about what he felt. As Lance sought God, God told him "Read Isaiah 45". He looked up Isaiah 45 and read:
Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped, to subdue nations before him and to loose the belts of kings, to open doors before him that gates may not be closed:
"I will go before you and level the exalted places, I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron, I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, who call you by your name.
For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I name you, though you do not know me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me, that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the Lord, and there is no other Isaiah 45:1-6
As Lance read this he looked over to see a Facebook picture saying "Donald Trump 45th President of the United States". He believes the Lord was telling him that God had anointed Donald Trump to be President just as He anointed Cyrus in Bible times.
Lance relates that he was astounded and researched Cyrus from the bible. He found out that the Cyrus Cylinder, found in an archaeological dig in 1879, speaks of what Cyrus did as ruler. Lance interprets and categorizes what Cyrus accomplished into three main sections.
- Dealt with terror
- Restored habitations or economic stability
- Honored their sanctuaries or houses of faith
This would clearly line up with issues Donald Trump will have to face as President today in 2017.
Article can be read below.
Recording of interview with Lance Wallnau.
I believe that just as God used and anointed Cyrus He has also chosen and anointed Donald Trump to bless America and the world.
2. I call you by your name, I name you… Isaiah 45:4
This verse within the Cyrus Prophecy means so much concerning Donald Trump and every person on earth. God will individually name us and so often they are symbolic or prophetic as to who He created us to be. In this verse God reveals His relationship to us in that He named a man Cyrus and calls him by his name. God has personal interest in every person on earth, including Donald Trump.
Donald Trump's name contains what seem to be symbolic meaning for him being called at this time as President. According to website BehindtheName.com, Donald comes "From the Gaelic name Domhnall which means "ruler of the world". A name quite fitting for one called to be a world leader as President of the United States of America.
The J in Trump is initial for John which means "Yahweh is gracious" (behindthename.com).
This next revelation impacted my life tremendously. As revealed in an article listed in Elijah List on 1-13-2016, Johnny Enlow relates the connection with Donald Trump and the Hebraic Jubilee Year 5776.
The latter part of 2015 and much of 2016 landed on Hebraic Jubilee Year 5776. Likewise, the majority of the 2016 presidential campaign ran during this time. The Lord lays out what would take place on the Year of Jubilee in Leviticus 25. The Lord would require that people would return to their land possessions and indentured servants would be released. God states in Leviticus 25:9,10 "On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants" (ESV).
The notes in The ESV Study Bible for Lev. 25:8-12 speak volumes. "The Hebrew word yobel, jubilee (v.10), is related to a term that means "ram" or "ram's horn." The ram's horn (or trumpet) is to be sounded throughout Israel…
Donald J. Trump's last name, Trump, connects with the "trump"et which is to be sounded on Day of Atonement proclaiming liberty throughout the land. Later, a friend pointed out to me Trump Pence sounds like trumpets. I believe even Trump's Vice President has been selected by God for such a time as this.
Also, The Hebraic Year 5776 is the 70th Jubilee Year. Donald Trump turned 70 during the 70th Jubilee Year . Amazing to say the least!
I believe God had this all this planned out so that we, as His creation, would see His loving hand at work in our midst. Yes, God purposefully birthed Donald Trump on June 14th, 1946 for His pleasure and purposes. Now is the time for Trump to be President as he turned 70 years of age during the 70th Jubilee Year.
This revelation ventures further as we now reach point 3 on the signs list.
3. Donald Trump's born on America's Flag Day
Donald Trump's day of birth, June 14th, 1946 is extremely significant. First, God creates life and determines when, where, and to whom we will be born. The when or date of birth for Donald Trump's life lands on Flag Day. This provides yet another sign that God has a significant calling for Trump in America .
The previous signs point to God calling and choosing Donald Trump to be President of the United States of America. They are plain to see by all and cannot be manipulated by man. I believe God will reveal many more as He unveils His plans and purposes for America. All we have to do is seek Him with humble hearts. He's an amazing God!
We will continue these posts discussing the details of God and His plans for Trump and America. God bless.

One Day Inexpensive Toilet Remodel
While most of us don't assume a lot about it; the toilet is without doubt one of the rooms of the home where we spend a lot of our time. Putting in a brand new bathtub is likely one of the extra complicated and costly projects concerned in a bathroom rework. 1. Prepare your bathroom in order that there aren't any fixtures, and subsequently no plumbing, on exterior walls. Get free estimates from native lavatory reworking contractors. We wash our arms, brush our teeth, placed on make-up and take a look at our hair all while using the toilet sink.
Delicate gray partitions, marble flooring and a furniture-fashion vanity create an elegant spot for friends to clean up. Heather Scott House & Design removes the wall-mounted cabinet above the bathroom, making the space feel much bigger and brighter. There are quite a few benefits in bathroom reworking — improved aesthetics, security and comfort. A survey by NKBA on design traits showed that half of respondents paid between $10,000 and $29,999 for a loo transform, while 31 p.c reported paying more than $30,000.

The efficacy of Levamisole (LMS) was studied on prolongation of patient survival and modulation of cellular immunity in a total of 220 cases of gastric cancer (136 cases for control and 84 cases for LMS group). In the study, detailed analyses were performed in 64 cases of stage Ⅲ, in which LMS therapy was effective and influence of background factors was minimum (32 cases for control and 32 cases for LMS group). LMS was administered 150mg/day for three consecutive days every other week beginning from three days before operation, and was continued more than than two months and upto two years. The results obtained were as follows: 1) In cases of gastric cancer, the survival rate of the LMS group, was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). Furthermore, the efficacy of LMS on prolongation of survival rate was remarkable in the group of stage Ⅲ (p<0.05). 2) A detailed study in the group of stage Ⅲ was performed and resulted in the following: First, when stage Ⅲ cases were classified into curative and noncurative cases, LMS was effective in prolonging the survival of patients who received curative resection. Secondly, the efficacy of LMS was investigated in terms of tumor size. No difference in patient survival was observed between the control and LMS group, when tumor size was less than 3.9cm or more than 8.0cm in diameter. However, a significant effect of LMS therapy was detected for cases whose tumor was between 4.0cm and 7.9cm in diameter and depth of invasion was se (P<0.05). Thirdly, influence of lymph node metastasis on the effect of LMS was analysed. LMS was effective to a significant degree if the metastasis did not extend beyond lymph nodes classified in group I (n(1)) (p<0.05). Fourthly, when localization or histopathological grading of tumor was considered, the survival rate of LMS group tended to be high if the tumor was localized in the bulk of the corpus and belonged to a undifferentiated type. Fifthly, the (v) factor, grade of invasion into veins, was evaluated. LMS was effective in cases of v(0). And also, the efficacy of LMS was observed in cases classified as INF β in terms of form of infiltration. 3) Mitogen responses, cell number and T-cell percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes and also PPD skin test were examined to evaluate immunological status of gastric cancer patients receiving LMS therapy. The data suggested that LMS activated promptly and normalized the cellular immunity in cases of advanced gastric cancer classified into stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ in which cellular immunity was reduced. By contrast, it was ineffective for cases of gastric cancer at early stages classified into stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ.

Things To Do in Colorado Springs: Helen Hunt Falls in North Cheyenne Canyon Park
Looking for things to do in Colorado Springs?
Check out Helen Hunt Falls in North Cheyenne Canyon Park, located off of N Cheyenne Canyon Rd at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain. This beautiful waterfall is surrounded by hiking trails and scenic mountain views that overlook Colorado Springs. Here is a video that we made to help you get a good idea of the scenery, terrain, and overall beauty of Helen Falls. Check it out.
Details About Helen Hunt Falls
There is not a fee to enter Helen Hunt Falls. It is free and open to the public. For this reason, we recommend that you visit the park on a weekday if possible. The weekends can get quite busy. Even when the park is busy, it is very accessible though. The staff at the visitors center are knowledgeable and can recommend many different trails and experiences that work best for you. I highly recommend chatting with them before you plan your day in Helen Falls. (Click Here for a map to Helen Falls for your Convenience)
The History of Helen Hunt Falls
Helen Hunt falls is named after the poet and writer Helen Maria Hunt Jackson (1830 - 1885) who moved to Colorado Springs after her doctor recommended that the dry, crisp air might be good for her tuberculosis. Here she met William Sharpless Jackson at the Seven Falls Resort and they married in 1875. Helen Hunt Jackson died of stomach cancer in 1885 and was buried on a high plateau overlooking Colorado Springs. The Falls were later named after Helen Hunt Jackson and she has been a local legend ever since.
What To Expect at Helen Hunt Falls
There are many schedule hiking guides at Helen Falls and the terrain is rather steep. It is not recommended to bring strollers or wheelchairs. I took my 3 year old daughter there and she easily climbed to the top with me and my family, so it's not too difficult. As you can see from the pictures below, there are a lot of stairs to climb. The view from the top of the main trial is breathtaking. The lookout point offers a spectacular view of Colorado Springs and the Cheyenne Mountain Canyon. The trail intertwines with the small river running down the canyon. It's an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting or living in Colorado Springs. There are stops along the trail on the way up, so you can take a break if you get tired. Only a few of the stops are shaded, so make sure that you bring some sunscreen to keep from getting sunburned. Also bring plenty of water, especially if you are from out of town and are not used to our dry climate.
Below are some recent pictures that were taken with my Cannon 70D with a 10mm wide angle lens on the same day that the video above was captured. These photos will give you a good sense of the terrain and landscape of the North Cheyenne Mountain Park and Helen Falls. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have more specific questions about Helen Falls. I am a local real estate agent in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas.

(From the front page of the New York Daily News, today, Wednesday, 16 March 2011.)
It does look like people are taking the advice. Potassium iodide pills are selling out in the United States.
From http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12765401:
Fears of radiation sickness stemming from the unfolding nuclear crisis in Japan have prompted a surge in US sales of potassium iodide.From http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42095558/ns/health-health_care/:
Pharmacies do not generally carry KI, but several manufacturers have reported being out of stock.
Online retailer nukepills.com said via its Twitter feed that it had sold out of KI pills on Tuesday.
It received 3,800 orders in 18 hours on Sunday and has shipped 50,000 pills to Tokyo, with the help of Harvard Medical School.
Debby Fleming Wurdack, co-owner of Fleming Pharmaceuticals, which produces a KI solution on demand, told the BBC the firm would be out of stock by the end of the day.
"This is insanity," Ms Fleming Wurdack said.
The company received more than 350 calls with orders from clients ranging from housewives to state governments on Tuesday, she said.
Ms Fleming Wurdack told the BBC that her company had ordered additional raw materials to manufacture more KI solution.
She expects the orders will continue for months.
In the five minutes it takes to ask Troy Jones about a sudden shortage of potassium iodide pills to prevent radiation sickness, the North Carolina owner of http://www.nukepills.com already has logged nearly two dozen more orders.Well, sure. It's true. Most nuts are normal, every-day, see-them-at-the-grocery store people.
"I'm now getting one every 30 seconds," said Jones, 46, who has sold out of more than 50,000 doses of pills and liquid in days in the wake of fears of potential nuclear fallout from Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami.
Despite expert assurances that nuclear radiation won't reach the shores of America, demand for potassium iodide has swamped the stocks of all three manufacturers or suppliers approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration for use in the U.S.
Anbex, Inc., of Williamsburg, Va., sold out of IOSAT pills on Monday. Fleming & Co. Pharmaceuticals, of Fenton, Mo., which makes ThyroShield Solution is scrambling to make more. And Recipharm AB, the Swedish firm that makes lower-dose Thyro-Safe tablets estimates it will take weeks to replenish its stock.
"We've shipped more private orders in the last three days than we have in the last three years," said Mark Quick, the vice president of corporate development for Recipharm.
Alan Morris, president of Anbex Inc., which manufactures the IOSET pills, said he hoped to produce and ship about 4.5 million tablets in the next few weeks, but admitted that the Japan disaster caught his company a bit off guard.
"The world seems to be utterly terrified of what's going on in Japan," Morris said. "This is the first time in 30 years that we've been out of stock."
Many customers are private individuals who help fuel sales of about a quarter million tablets a month. Most clients come from New York, Los Angeles — and Utah, Jones said. And while stockpiling antidotes for a nuclear emergency could seem extreme, Jones said the customers aren't all the tin-foil hat set.
"I have some nuts, people who swear up and down that the world is going to end May 21," he said. "Most of them are normal, every-day, see-them-at-the-grocery store people."
And before you ask, none of the companies appear to be publicly traded. I looked. Recipharm AB does have an investor page.
I hope this doesn't make it hard for people in the affected area to get KI pills if and when they actually need them.

Series Small Tents: Follow with a series of reviews about small tents, for one or two people. The goal of these reviews is to assist adventurers in the choice of equipment according to your profile. We inform about the characteristics and features of each, differentiating tents tents techniques generalists, and we indicate the best options for treks, Wild camping or structured.
The Flash Tent, of trails and Paths, it's a survival tent that is part of a series of small tents.
The tent is named as a survival tent, but what does that mean?She's not a tent designed for camping in comfort or long term based on CampingTopGear. As your name suggests it is made to be used in emergency situations so it has three main features: it is small, light and quick to be fitted, but in return she give up other features that bring comfort to the camp.
Learn more in detail all its features and see at the end of the article the specific situations of recommendation for use of this template.
Structure: One of the main features of this tent is your different structure it is not supported by sticks like most tents for two rods (frames) that metal should be positioned inside the tent to her fleet. Another possibility for your mount is that the stems can be replaced by walking canes, to further reduce the weight of the tent.
Another striking feature of your structure is that it has only the fourth (she's a single wall tent) and lacks sobreteto.
This template is not self-supporting, because it depends on the espeques that fasten to the ground to be mounted.
Assembly: One of the advantages of this model (in addition to the weight and volume) is the convenience and speed of Assembly. Just stretch it on the floor, put the 6 basic espeques (leaving her well stretched), open the door and place the two iron rods (or sticks) on the inside (see detail in the pictures).After that come out and put the espeques in 4 binders that help give stability and keep the tent there, Sparky. Ready.
In practice you will not take more than 3 minutes to mount her.It may take 4 minutes if you do everything calmly and very careful.
Size: Its size is suitable for two people, but if you're in backpacks large doesn't fit 2 people + backpacks. Is indicated preferably to one person and their equipment, for two people only if they are small and with small backpacks.
An important factor to be noted is that as your structure with 2 stems in the middle of the tent she does not allow put air mattress and if a couple, also can't sleep really, because you will always have the frames in between. Following this same thought, even if it is used by one person only, the sleeping space is also limited to one side of the tent, due to the you can't sleep tight in the middle.
Our experience: When Camping with her, even though small and being alone in the tent a few times myself at night banging with the arm accidentally traps. I figured if she wasn't properly assembled estivisse that could be a problem. But it's worth to note that she is a survival tent and was not designed to provide comfort.
Weight: The tent weighs 1.7 kg with the fittings that make the internal frame. If you get these hardware and only use walking sticks to arm, she gets just 950 grams, making it the lightest technique tent we have met.
Volume: Another plus, in addition to weight, is your volume is small and easy to be loaded. It can be easily folded and placed in the bottom of a backpack. The packaging is approximately 60 cm wide by 12 in diameter.
Waterproofing: The tent has a waterproofing of 2,000 mm of water column, quantity to be handle even in case of rain.Internal seams are properly sealed, preventing the entry of water through the seam of the fabric. On the ground the water column is of 4,000 mm.
>>> read more about it in the article what is water column
Ventilation: One of the major downsides of the tent is your lack of ventilation. She has only a small area with mosquito netting on the back, but it's really small and can't handle doing air exchange. The lack of ventilation raises a problem of condensation when you're camping in cold areas and a muting problem when you're camping in warm places.
Our experience: When it was used, on a cold day, in the Serra Gaúcha (about 10ºc) happened to the window does not handle Exchange of hot and humid air breathing with the external environment. The result is that there has been a lot of condensation on the inside and when the Sun rose in the morning and started to heat up those droplets began to flow through the wall watering enough the inside of the tent. I had to wait a while for it to dry and I can disassemble.
>>> read more about it in the article what is condensation
This problem could be easily solved if the door of the tent had two fabrics, nylon and a mosquito net.
Frame: Rods Are two rods that are used to keep the tent upright. Are made in metal, each of which is composed of 3 parts joined by a steel cable and a spring and with feet of blurred at the edges. The shortest has 27 cm when folded and the longest has 47 cm when folded.
Seams: Internal seams are all factory sealed.
Espeques: The tent comes with 10 espeques of simple steel and with 18 cm in length.
Attachment points: The tent itself has 6 basic points of attachment of the room to the ground. In addition there are 4 external stretchers that are essential to keep the tent with resistance.
Room: As the tent is simple wall she has only one room in without sobreteto naylon.
Window: There is only one breathing very small Windows at the back of the tent. It can be kept open with a small stem, which can also be closed with velcro.
Binders (strings): tent has 4 stretchers that should be arrested for what she really securely mounted and stretched.
Pockets: The tent does not have pockets or internal compartments.

Intended use
The FuiAcampar indicates the use of this model for trails with overnight or crossings where the priority is reduced weight and volume. It can also be interesting for cicloviajantes or backpackers who will travel and camping each in one location (or go camping just eventually) and need a tent that is lightweight and can be quickly assembled and disassembled.
But even for these indications are made to avoid using constraints in very hot or very cold climates (due to poor ventilation) and is the exception with respect to the inner space with the stems in the middle (that get in the way a bit).
If you're looking for a tent for camping in pairs, or with comfort, or for many days, or in cold or hot climates it is not recommended (being that we use in cold climates a real problem due to condensation).

On a similar note, the so-called "Google Generation" (those born after 1993) isn't very good at...well, Googling.
The information literacy of young people, has not improved with the widening access to technology: in fact, their apparent facility with computers disguises some worrying problems. Internet research shows that the speed of young people's web searching means that little time is spent in evaluating information, either for relevance, accuracy or authority."On average, they're not very good at analyzing key words for effective searches, and they don't review search results carefully enough to verify its usefulness.
This all makes me think that if we, as parents, want to include our kids in the computer age, we really need to lay down a good foundation in reality. What does it mean to read a book or conduct research in a library? How do we decipher a good source from a bad one? We can't monitor our kids 100%, but the better the foundation we provide, the more likely our kids will be able to guide themselves safely and successfully past the dangers and pitfalls of the Net.
