8. | The Last Great Console | ||
The Nintendo Entertainment System or NES I was playing Super Mario 3 and Duck hunt the other day and wondered why these aren't world wide treasure in a museum.
1. | The Last Great Console | ||
The SNES, maybe the most beloved console of all time. Despite it's rival produced by Sega (Which was also a legendary console), the SNES was boosted above legendary status by classic games such as FF3, Chrono Trigger, the Donkey Kong Trilogy, F-Zero, the Mario titles it carried, and of course, The Legend of Zelda-Link's Awakening.
While it was a hot item in it's time, it has now been spread around the internet for free in the form of emulators, and the games have been converted into roms. This adds to the legacy the SNES left behind of being the most playable and memory-laden projects undertaken by a gaming company. Despite all the other legendary consoles (And those that are to come in the future), the SNES will always have it's own place in the world of gaming.

SNES - Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Person 1: Still playing The Last Great Console?
Person 2: Never stopped. |
3. | The Last Great Console | ||
Super Nintendo Entertainment System Chrono Tigger and FF3 sell at a f*ckin high price on Ebay.
4. | The Last Great Console | ||
Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super NES, SNES) It's great. Need I say more?
5. | The Last Great Console | ||
SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System for the noobs), the high king over all gaming systems, made legendary by such games as Super Metroid, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, the mario titles it carried over including the one with yoshi and the all star pack, FFX, the Donkey Kong games, and the badass Megaman series, especially Megaman X 3. Only the Sega Genesis could ever rival it, and that only due to the Sonic Series. As Nintendo proceeds to develop their halfass game cube platform, the SNES remains the greatest of all consoles ever made. The Last Great Console owns the hell out of the atari, the nintendo, the N64, the Game Cube, the Playstation, the PS2, the Sega Genesis, the Dreamcast, and especially the Xbox.
6. | The Last great console | ||
See: Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)
See also: Amazing The Super NES was the last great of the greats. While there were other respectable consoles (Sega Master System, etc.) the SNES stands head-and-shoulders above them all. Utilizing the first real Interconsole Connectivity (a system of ideas that is still in employment today) the SNES beat down other companies with its ability to play Gameboy games with its Game-Genie-like Super Gameboy adapter. Following up from their heritage of "Programmable Games" (excitebike, etc.), The system had Mario Paint, where hours could fall into nonexistance as you try to draw with the only mouse for a console available at the time, and for years to come. There is so much amazingness packed into this gray-and-purple rectangle (With its own Eject button!)that its hard to see why gaming went and started to depend on graphical capabilities, but there is an explanation in the SNES itself. Super Nintendo sowed the seeds of its own demise when Nintendo released StarFox with the SuperFX chip built into the cartridge, it was one of the first fully Three-Dimensional console titles, if not The First. "Wanna play The Last Great Console?"
"Yeah! Pop in Secret of Mana*!" (*Secret of Mana, one of the first realtime multiplayer RPG 's) |
7. | The Last Great Console | ||
The NES, predecessor to the SNES, nothing ever filled the gap that the NES left gaping, don't get me wrong, the SNES was good, but i always missed my NES Antiques auction:
Auctioneer: And lot no 112 is a marvellous piece, a Nintendo Entrtainment System, complete with 'light gun' |

Oceana's blog about the latest ocean news, policy and science.
Victory! Maryland Becomes First East Coast State to Ban Shark Fin Trade!
Maryland made history today by becoming the first East Coast state to ban the possession, sale and distribution of shark fins throughout the state. They join the entire West Coast, as well as Illinois and Hawaii, in banning the fin trade, which drives the cruel and unnecessary act of shark finning and is contributing to the near-extinction of many shark species.
Continue reading...
Delaware Sends Shark Fin Ban to Governor
Less than one week after passing the state Assembly, the Delaware state Senate has signed on to a bill banning the trade of shark fins within the state's borders.
The states spanning the entire West Coast, plus Hawaii and Illinois, already have shark fin bans in place. In Maryland, a similar bill was just signed into law today by Governor Martin O'Malley, and the New York Legislature is considering a ban as well.
The gruesome practice of shark finning—slicing off a shark's fins and throwing the body overboard, often while still alive—is illegal in the United States. But shark fin soup remains a pricey Asian delicacy, often selling for up to $100 a bowl, and fins can be imported from other countries where the practice is legal.
Record-Setting Water Temps Changing Marine Ecosystems
The oceans are heating up, and marine ecosystems are changing because of it. Long before climate scientists realized the extent of impacts from carbon dioxide emissions, ocean scientists were taking simple temperature readings. Now those readings are off the charts, showing an ocean thrown out of balance from human-caused climate change. Sea surface temperatures hit a 150 year high off the U.S. East Coast from Maine to North Carolina during 2012.
These abnormally high temperatures are fundamentally altering marine ecosystems, from the abundance of plankton to the movement of fish and whales. Many marine species have specific time periods for spawning, migration, and birthing based on temperature signals and availability of prey. Kevin Friedland, a scientist in NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center's Ecosystem Assessment Program, said "Changes in ocean temperatures and the timing and strength of spring and fall plankton blooms could affect the biological clocks of many marine species, which spawn at specific times of the year based on environmental cues like water temperature."

Delaware House Takes Action for Sharks
Yesterday, the Delaware House of Representatives took a huge step forward for shark conservation efforts worldwide when they passed a bill that would prohibit the trade of shark fins within their state borders. House Bill 41 bans the sale, possession, and distribution of shark fins, which are commonly used in the Asian delicacy shark fin soup. Demand for these products drives the harmful and wasteful practice of shark finning, which is responsible for the deaths of millions of sharks every year and the depletion of populations worldwide.

Success on South Beach!
Every spring, the Nautica South Beach Triathlon gives us reason to smile. There's the energetic crowds, the celebrity entrants, and the warm-but-not-too-brutally-hot April weather on Miami Beach. This year, however, in Oceana's 5th year participating through our partnership with Nautica, our grins got even bigger as we set a pair of performance records where it matters most: raising funds for our conservation work.
Team Oceana, comprised of seven passionate ocean advocates, nearly doubled its previous fundraising record at the race, raising $7,171, while our partners at Nautica raised another $20,000 for Oceana by donating 100% of proceeds generated from their beachside shop. That's $27,000 raised in one weekend, which will go a long way toward improving the condition of the oceans around South Florida, the country, and the world
Happy World Penguin Day!
Though penguins are known for their impeccable black tie fashion, they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, styles, and personalities. From the little penguin in Australia to Antarctica's emperor penguin, we celebrate each of them today. Even the jackass gets a little recognition on World Penguin Day.

A Deaf Whale is a Dead Whale: Keep the Atlantic Free of Seismic Testing
Imagine living next to a construction zone, where every ten seconds, every day, for days to weeks on end, you are subjected to loud, disruptive explosions while you're trying to eat, sleep and function in your normal routine. If the Department of the Interior approves a proposal to allow seismic airgun testing in the Atlantic, this nightmare could become a reality for the thousands of marine animals that call these waters home. Oceana's new report "A Deaf Whale is a Dead Whale" illustrates the extremely harmful impacts seismic testing could have on vital animal behaviors, as well as 730,000 jobs along the East Coast that depend on a healthy ocean ecosystem.
Seismic testing occurs when vessels tow airguns that blast compressed air into the ocean floor to search for oil and gas deposits, and these blasts are 100,000 times more intense than the sound of a jet engine. The tests occur continuously every ten seconds, all day, and the government itself estimates it will injure 138,500 whales and dolphins, as well as disrupt and displace thousands of other marine animals like threated loggerhead sea turtles and fish. Due to the loudness of the airgun blasts, whales, dolphins and other animals that depend on their hearing to survive could go temporarily, or even permanently, deaf.
The proposed blasting zone is twice the size of California, spanning from Delaware to Florida. Airguns and future oil spills would put many communities at risk that depend on a healthy ocean, including 200,000 commercial and recreational fishing jobs.

Victory! Offshore Oil Drilling Stopped in Belize
Yesterday, Belize's Supreme Court declared offshore drilling contracts issued by the Government of Belize (in 2004 and 2007) null and void, providing a dramatic and potentially definitive setback to The Government of Belize and the petroleum prospecting companies issued the contracts.
The ruling, handed down by Justice Oswell Legall, was in response to a case brought by Oceana, COLA, and the Belize Coalition to Save Our Natural Heritage. It effectively ends the Belizean government's immediate effort to allow offshore oil drilling in the Meso American Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world.
Audrey Matura-Shepherd Vice President of Oceana in Belize lauded the court's decision:
"This is a great day for the people and country of Belize and its democratic process and it shows that we, as ordinary citizens, need not sit back and only complain about all the wrong decisions our Government makes, but that we can use the Judiciary system to settle them."
The court overturned the contracts after determining that the government failed to assess the environmental impact on Belize's ocean, as required by law, prior to issuing the contracts. The court also found that contracts were made to companies that did not demonstrate a proven ability to contribute the necessary funds, assets, machinery, equipment, tools and technical expertise to drill safely.
Oceana has campaigned against offshore drilling in Belize for more than two years. In 2011, after collecting the 20,000+ signatures required to trigger a national referendum that would allow the public to vote on whether or not to allow offshore oil drilling in Belize's reef, the Government disqualified over 8,000 of these signatures effectively on the basis of poor penmanship - stopping the possibility of a vote. Oceana answered by quickly organizing the nation's first ever "People's Referendum" on February 29, 2012 in which 29,235 people (Belize's entire population is approximately 350,000) came from all over the country to cast their votes.
In this historic vote, 96 percent of voters voted against offshore exploration and drilling.

CEO Note: Maryland Takes the Lead
If you're a Marylander like me, this is a time to be proud. The Old Line State has stepped forward, making ocean conservation a priority and providing an example that other states would be wise to follow.
First, Maryland became a leader in developing offshore wind energy by passing The Maryland Offshore Wind Energy Act of 2013, which was signed into law by Governor Martin O'Malley this week. The measure will help spur the development of at least 200 megawatts of renewable energy off Maryland's coast – enough to power about 200,000 homes.
While wind turbines already dot Europe's coast, the United States has yet to construct a single offshore wind farm. Maryland's legislation marks an important milestone on this country's path to a clean ocean energy future.
This victory was made possible by the tireless advocacy of Oceana and a diverse coalition of environmental, faith, business and community groups, all of which recognized the need to transition to this clean and abundant form of energy, and away from fossil fuels. Special thanks to Chesapeake Climate Action Network, National Wildlife Federation, Maryland League of Conservation Voters, Maryland Sierra Club and Environment Maryland for helping to pressure lawmakers to take this first step towards a greener energy portfolio for the state.
Second, both the Maryland House and Senate passed a bill to prohibit the sale and trade of shark fins. Pending the signature of the Governor, Maryland will become the first state on the East Coast to adopt such a ban. Approximately 100 million sharks are killed each year, primarily to support the demand for shark fin soup. While shark finning is banned in the U.S, this brutal practice—which involves slicing the fins off a live shark and then dumping it back in the water where it is left to die—is still occurring around the world. By stopping the shark fin trade in state, Maryland can help protect sharks worldwide.
So congratulations Maryland, but remember, there's a lot of work still left to do to protect our oceans. As for the rest of the states, what are you waiting for?

The Taiji Dolphin Slaughter: A Scientific Issue
The dolphin drive hunt in Taiji, Japan has been at the center of animal activism for many years and now it has finally come to the center of science.
The dolphin drive in Taiji involves the corralling of dolphins into a cove for slaughter or to be removed and then sold to representatives from marine parks. An estimated 22,000 small whales, dolphins, and porpoises are killed in these hunts each year.
Dr. Andy Butterworth of the University of Bristol and colleagues have published a paper in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science analyzing the methods used by Taiji fishermen to kill the dolphins in the drive hunts. Through their analysis, the authors have revealed disturbing levels of physical trauma inflicted on the dolphins, and commented that these methods would not be acceptable under any international animal welfare standards.
The paper has compared the information provided by the Japanese government on the dolphin slaughter with video footage of the methodology and concludes that the current methodology leads to prolonged trauma and paralysis, which contradicts the information in the government report.
The publication of this paper has raised awareness of the dolphin slaughter within the scientific community and has elevated the issue to a peer reviewed scientific journal, raising the profile of the travesty in Taiji. This added pressure from the scientific community, which validates the efforts of so many advocacy efforts, could be what is needed to convince the Japanese government to end these hunts for good.
Video of the slaughter is available but be prepared, it is extremely disturbing.

Disney Wonder Hosts First-Call Ceremony in Cartagena
Disney Cruise Line hosted local port officials and community leaders onboard the 2,700 passenger Disney Wonder for a plaque exchange ceremony today. These ceremonies are a maritime tradition and an opportunity for the Captain and the ships officers to celebrate the inaugural call on a new port, as well as for local officials and leaders to welcome the ship and guests to the community. The Port of Cartagena greeted the guests and crew members of the Disney Wonder with traditional music, folkloric dancing and an offering of mixed tropical fruit, as a symbol of hospitality.
Cartagena offers our guests the opportunity to explore a rich and storied history, colonial Spanish architecture and plentiful sightseeing, said Disney Cruise Line Captain Thord Haugen. New ports of call encourage families to see the world while experiencing the legendary guest service and spectacular entertainment at sea only Disney can provide.
While in Cartagena, guests can enjoy port adventures that range from taking a horse-drawn carriage along the cobblestone streets and flower-filled balconies of Plaza Santa Teresa; to paddling a canoe along the Coast Cienaga de la Virgen on an eco-tour of the Mangrove Caves, known for the abundance of tropical birds; to visiting The Rosario Islands, designated as a National Park and filled with coral reefs, sponges and other sea life.
The Disney Wonder will make its historic first visit to Cartagena while repositioning from Los Angeles to Miami. This is the first time a Disney ship will have a regional homeport in Southern Florida, allowing families from this area to take advantage of sailing from a port close to their own backyard. The Disney Wonders first itinerary from Miami will be a 7-night Eastern Caribbean Christmas holiday cruise on December 23, followed by a 6-night Western Caribbean New Years cruise departing December 30. In 2013, guests may sail 4-night Bahamian and 5-night Western Caribbean itineraries onboard the Disney Wonder until the end of April, when the ship returns to the West Coast and resumes Alaskan sailings from Vancouver.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......

No one was injured and no other cars were involved in the crash.
"I heard a loud explosion and took a look over my left. There was a puff of smoke and the back of the truck was hanging off the bridge and I could see the cab continuing forward," said Darrell Scott, who was driving the opposite direction on the expressway. "Luckily I was not behind it. I came back to make sure nobody ran into it from behind."
State Police are still investigating and charges are pending.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Jackie Carmichael had 16 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks, lifting the fourth-seeded Illinois State Redbirds over the fifth-seeded Northern Iowa Panthers, 54-42, in the quarterfinals of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.
Nic Moore and Bryant Allen each had eight points for the Redbirds (19-12), who haven't won this tournament since 1998.
Illinois State will next play top-seeded Wichita State in the semifinals on Saturday.
Johnny Moran ended with 13 points for the Panthers (19-13), who beat Illinois State in the 2009 title game. Jake Koch donated nine points and eight boards.
Northern Iowa shot just 25.5 percent from the field and went 7-of-23 from three-point range.

I have had this frame for less then a year and all the slats have broke around the edges and the frame has come apart on every corner, meaning the screws just striped free from the wood and I had to use wood glue to glue it back together and I am not a large person at 160lbs. this item sucks and wih I could get a refund
I assembled it by myself, which was a little awkward, but doable. Fairly sturdy, seems like good wood. I wish it was a couple more inches higher so i could fit my guitar cases under the bed. Only real complaint is how far the frame sticks out around the mattress. It leaves a gap between the top of your mattress and the wall, and all the way around the mattress. Plus I've already stubbed my toe 3 times and I'm sure to break a bone someday.
We love the bed. We had a short time adjusting to the lower profile (we used to have a bed that almost needed a stepstool). It is well made and sturdy; and matches our other bedroom furniture quite well. It was relatively simple to assemble-my husband likes to brag that we did it together without fighting! (that would be because we are two hard-headed people!) We would recommend this bed highly.
I was a little hesitant when purchasing this bed because my husband and I are not small and we were worried that it would be flimsy and would not be able to stand up to the normal "wear and tear" so to speak. If any of you have the same trepidation, do not worry, it is strong and sturdy and you don't have to worry about creaks, groans, or cracks. We are going to add a couple of two by fours to the middle and screw them in for additional support but even without the added support it is a sturdy bed. Very pleased. I bought the end tables that go with the bed and am pleased with those as well.
While the color matches exact, the construction seems to be good, the mattress doesn't fit snug. Since it doesn't have a headboard the bed is pushed against the wall. When the mattress is pushed all the way up there is almost a four inch gap between the bottom of the mattress and the rail. There is also close to two inches of gap on both sides. I expect some space, but I have never had a bed that has had that much space. I gave it one stars because while everything else seems fine, none if it matters if the bed doesn't fit.
I loved this bed so much the 1st time that I bought another one for my daughter.
We are very happy with this bed! It is attractive and seems to be well made. We got the king, and are using it with a memory foam mattress. It makes the room look modern and more minimalistic. My husband went ahead and made two more support beams to go under it however, because we were worried that one would not be enough for such a large bed.
Recommend 2 people to assemble. Easy to assemble based on the included instructions. Finished product looks good. Clean lines.
Bought the Murray platform frame for a King sized bed and love it! It's made of solid wood and is very sturdy. Everything arrived in perfect condition with all parts and instructions intact. The frame was very easy to assemble with 2 people only taking about 1 hour. We did add a few extra support boards so that our Simmons mattress warranty would remain intact. Overstock also priced match to another website so we got the frame for alittle less. Don't hesitate buy it!!
I love this bed! Very simple construction and looks great.

Creative industry to meet up with Energy Coast cluster
Published at 05:53, Monday, 25 June 2012
Cumbria's creative and energy companies are being brought together at a networking event in Carlisle this week.
Creative and digital R&D company FreerangeArtists Ltd is hosting the meet-up which will bring together Creatives and Britains Energy Coast Business Cluster.
The evening event, held in Freerange Workspace, Carlyles Court, marks the beginning of a new Creative and Digital business cluster for BECBC, a privately funded members organization that provides networking, business, and knowledge sharing opportunities.
Phil Jardine is the Business Development Director for the Cluster said: "We've got a number of thriving specialist sector groups already and it is good to have this new connection and boost for the creative sector.
"We've a range of website, design, marketing and other creative industry member companies already and it is a thriving sector in and around Cumbria so we look forward to seeing new partnerships and, of course, new business coming out of the refreshed group."
Creative Cumbria has been gathering together creatives from around the county at a number of previous informal events. The aims of Creative Cumbria are to raise the profile of the creative sector in Cumbria. to encourage collaboration between the creative companies in Cumbria and to to encourage the emerging creative talent (students and young people) to stay in Cumbria rather than leaving to ply their trade elsewhere.
Hannah Stewart of FreerangeArtists says : "We are excited to host this event and to start working together to develop and grow opportunities available in the creative and digital sector locally, Cumbria is home to some outstanding companies and very talented individuals, social media and emails are great but there's nothing like meeting people face to face, perhaps over a beer to build relationships.
"Creative Cumbria meet-ups are a chance to meet potential associates and collaborators, fellow geeks / geekesses and generally leave the comfort of your computer screen and talk to other real live creatives face-to-face."
The Creative Cumbria BECBC meet-up will be held at Freerange Workspace in Carlyle's Court, Carlisle from 7pm onwards on Wednesday 27 June 2012. You can book online at www.creativecumbria.eventbrite.com or over the phone -01228401324.
People are welcome from any part of the supply chain, already working in the sector or those considering a career change, including : designers, developers/programmers, copywriters/editors, photographers, media production / film making/ broadcasting, PR/ events, social media, consultants, marketing and other professional creatives.

Temporary download
is needed to play this game.
There was a small glitch(Cannot access Main Character 2)
(test to see if "flash animated cutscenes worked) for (Rpg maker 2003)
*Details about this video :
Kevin Tran *Undead Asian*
-this is not the how the i
ntro is gona be(is too poorly)
but it will be for the beta, bear with me.
"Draft > guide lines" ( I will be using *Manga style* such as "Dungeon Fighter Online : Arad Senki" this is just a draft, and so is the voice acting)
-this will be changed
Fantasy like game based of in the "Final fantasy age" 7 - 8 technology.
Orokami Story Board
(There is more of the story, but this is what is explained to the player)
Story Board/Setting
In the past, a world of harmony and Peace existed. People where simple and thus "Misunderstanding" was a word never found in their vocabulary.
Today, we found ourselves Divided; Raising Blades against one another.
We had come to the conclusion that War was the only way. To make matters Worst, we have scattered ourselves by race and opinions.
Finding a way to always improve themselves... These humanoid tribes depended on their brains and Technology, as time when on, it became obvious that the Ground made most of their territory .
Created by the humans, this creatures Relay on their Stamina and "Special" skill. their territory is made mostly in high grounds, Compressed mostly of Mountains and Flying islands.
Ancient like Elementalists. This Nomads move around the Planet in search for something, they can be found in places where Soul energy is strongest.
In our history: Salbarians Created the eSpers as a chance to evolve into a better society, but not all the Salbarians where capable of surviving the transformation.
Jealousy arise the masses, arguments where often created, as a result, a Civil War Broke out.
The Salbarians, under such disadvantage in power created balloons, soon called air strikes.
allowing invasion and strategic Raids on the eSper.
Outnumbered as the Espers were, they out match the Salbarians.
Time went on, and the eSpers created the
a Genetic infusion of Soul and Mind that allowed an eSper's power to be under their full control.
With their new mechanics, the war took a greater Scale. The Cyphers who had been a neutral tribe started taking action to stop both Salbarians and eSpers. Knowing very well the eSpers were only protecting themselves, Cyphers were often found on their side.
soon enough, it became a full scale war. Salbarians were losing, Cyphers got scared and retreated off to who knows where.
nobody could seem to find them.
However, a change in strategies made the Salbarian's morale and strength increase.
These were the
Soul Eaters:
created by Salbarians as their new experiment with the purpose of Wiping out all eSpers.
With no real shape or form, this creatures have the ability to eat the souls out of any living thing and obtain power equal to it, until their hunger re-appears.
The war, which was soon to end, lasted 4 more years.
eSpers, close to their extinction, Forced a sudden comeback.
they released the group called
Dark Knights:
a Group of the most powerful Elite eSpers Who's purposes
where to search artifacts and improvements to what the eSpers already had.
thanks to them, The uses of the Orokami where mysteriously improved.
on the other hand Soul eater just kept getting stronger.
they where just too many of them being, mass produced by the salbarians; they came wave, after wave after wave.
With time they took control of themselves and grew stronger, they got independent from their creators and soon where off to look for artifacts.
But by that time, the eSper population was too low. the fights had already ended, and the war was over...
the only thing left of all that tragedy was us.
the Resistance... the new uses of the orokami and the downfall of the Salbarians created an opportunity for all the tribes to slowly start working together.
DarkKnights, eSpers, Salbarians, Cyphers, all in danger of extinction now, and the Soul eater's numbers increasing by the minute
(someone tells the story) - Dirian.
(Every feature that are in here, are 100% working at this time) more will be implemented later.
-challenge- : find all recipes in the game. create a weapon and see what fits you best!
you can get weapons from. monsters,shops,secret places - made into *Boraku*
Boraku is : Spheres that attach to your "Orokami" that will then use Soul energy to use your weapon/object. Small spheres.
also : the *Ranks* From, S,SS,SSS,S4.(testing names) - are much likely to be *Ranks* of these weapons. there are 4 in total.
Pierce, Smash, Slash, Range. be wise full with what you make of! and make the ultimate weapon!
Weapons part 2 :
-challenge- : find alot of materials > to create weapons > using recipes.
Recipe's also involve Materials. watch for certain materials in you "notebook" given. you can see what type of monsters you've collected and what kind you have seen, dropped materials. Materials are used to create weapons > using recipes. bought from, shops, monsters found in area.
Notebook(test name)
will keep track of what type of monsters you have fought in the past. viewing all of their information and capabilities just by looking @ them with you death wing's eye(done automatically). You are able to see their. drops>hp>sp>statuses, and some more.(hunting! much?)
Combo system
If you wonder around, you will find temples, challenges, rare objects>artifacts.
this will test your determination on expanding your character's will. giving them extra power helping you in your journey.
such as : special weapons > items > Combo extension. probably more.
Run Run!
: By holding down the "X" button, you can sprint. However if you sprint for too long, you will not be able to sprint again for a couple of seconds. watch your stamina!
Menu? what menu?
: By pressing the "LShift" opening your menu, to check what you have gotten trough out your experiences.
Story guide/Quest Guide
: what do you mean you haven't played this game in a while?
well no problem!, I have made it possible. The game tracks your quest/Story part. that allows you to tell you, what have you gone trough with.
Talk to the statue next to the save crystal.
Race mode... like racing?
: The sportsmanship affects your abilities by helping you gain new items!, combo moves!, and even rare equipment!. By racing others in your dreams Helps your ability of your character!. be a great SDP Dreamer (Soul Dreamed Projection).
The SDP has been a dreamt world, that has been able to turn something of no other. creating a space world, into your mind by going
to a save crystal. with this, you're able to acces this world, if you win tournaments, challenges or anything else. you might get something special!.
Over world map/Instant travel
this allows you to go to places where ever you have been before, with the types of crystals that exist in that area.
-over world moves much like "Baten Kaitos" if you haven't played it before, I recommend you look it up. simple yet, helpful.
Resulting System
: Every player is graded in the end of every battle!, deciding your experience and money. Also invokes the "Chain System" if you kill certain enemies in a row, you will gain more experience. But only if you kill the same type of monster. The chain will end as soon as you kill a different type of monster groups.
Shop :
In this type of Custom shop, you are able to buy, materials, recipes. watch out for these.
: in other types of shops you are able to buy items, Equipments. watch out for these.
(There are more to the characters than this story, which gets explained trough the game as you go)
There is like a x3 DEEP background for every single one of these characters, don't expect this to be all, because then it will just ruin it for you.
yes these characters also have backgrounds and last names.
I dislike the types of games that you have to see a "manual" for and everything is unclear to the player, The story explains the character in a not-boring way.(hopefully)

I am not too familiar with the "Credits" on sections or anything else...
so if there is something I am missing, I would edit it.
If there is anybody who would like to help me. PM me. there
is currently no spots taken, I am working alone all by myself.
What happened :
What DID happen?
well, I just moved in to Pennyselvania, got a few things working. After a few weeks before moving to my new house(currently I was at my couzin's house). I came to a problem, drawing the new character(Mako)(concept art) I deleted a windows file by mistake.... And my computer spiked and I got the blue screen.
I personally don't know how to fix it, or get the files. If anybody can help with that, I'll be glad.
However, I only get 2 options. When I start up with that hard drive.
Windows repair(blue screen)
Start windows Normally.
Command prompt does not work, neither do I know if I can transfer the file trough an external cable-hard drive, thing.(Safe mode does not work either)
How is this going to comeback? :
What DID happen?
well, I apparently had a version of my game 2 months before my HARD DRIVE died.I had the backup files in my disc.
However, The sprites were not backed up neither where my side backup. The CODES(rpt/map/database/heroes) apparently made it trough. However. it is still VERY out dated than the one I had(alot of things can happen in 2 months). I managed to get the file from one of my demo testers, and he had the game, i was happy! still am.
However, this time. I do not clearly remember what i have done, and I am missing a couple of resources.
*New hard drive : (300 gigs)(ew.)
I will be depressed yet, slightly working on this game again. however, when I get to the point I was before I was planning on giving a bit of a tiny release of my game.
including it's backup/concept/and all sorta things. So that won't happen again. Thank you for waiting.

Brown Leaves Winter Ball
If Domonic Brown earns a big league job, he will have to earn it in Spring Training.
He left his Dominican Republic Winter Ball team, Escogido, after hitting .069 in nine games. A team spokesman said last night Brown left because he was tired and sluggish and they want him ready for Spring Training.
Depending how Brown performs this spring, he could help replace Jayson Werth in right field, if Werth signs elsewhere as a free agent. But the organization has said Brown must earn a job.
Ruben Amaro Jr. said earlier this week he was not concerned with Brown's performance in Winter Ball because he had not played much late in the season and 20-plus at-bats in Winter Ball were not enough to make an evaluation.
I've got a new Facebook page, where I'll post stories, blogs, thoughts, etc. Check it out here. Follow me on Twitter.

No problem. Just a bump in the road for the young man's development. He'll be quieting the naysayers once spring training starts.

Steampunk AT-AT is a labor of 'Star Wars' love
When is an AT-AT not an AT-AT? When it's Captain Bayley's Infernal Mechano-Perambulator. The captain (also known as Mark), created a steampunk AT-AT out of a vintage toy. It's the details that amaze.
You could get lost in the depths of this steamy tribute to the famous "Star Wars" machine. There's a smoke stack blowing out fluffy clouds of fake smoke. The finish is done in a weathered-copper look. By golly, is that a lightsaber-esque unicorn horn on top of the nose? Mossy plant life hanging from the mouth makes this AT-AT look a lot friendlier than the killing machines from the movies.… Read more

Cultural Resources Program
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has a long history in cultural resource management and protection. From the creation of roads and bridges which harmonized with the landscape at our inception, to highway beautification programs that included "Beaver Boards" which highlighted our cultural heritage, to our regulatory role responding to laws from the 1960s, we understand the intimate connection between human pathways and heritage. We consist of a qualified staff of professionals who meet Secretary of the Interior's (SOI) Standards for Archaeology and Historic Preservation.
We assist the Federal Highway Adminstration (FHWA) in following the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (Section 106) and the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (Section 4(f)). We maintain a Section 106 Programmatic Agreement with FHWA, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), which outlines how we handle both complicated cultural resource interaction and innocuous projects which have limited, if any, effects to historic resources. Our Cultural Resources Staff review all Section 106 documentation, work directly with the FHWA and SHPO offices, develop Section 4(f) documentation, and conduct all Tribal Consultation. Oregon is a state rich in cultural heritage – our program seeks to strike that balance between a growing transportation framework with protection of Oregon's significant cultural resources.
Archaeological resources have been associated with transportation projects in Oregon as far back as the 1910s and 20s. Such resources vary greatly in their nature, content, context, extent, and are non-renewable finite resources. Over 30,000 sites have been recorded in Oregon to date with less than 10% of the state actually surveyed. Each resource and circumstance must be evaluated individually, and appropriate procedures and steps are developed on a case by case basis.
This program is administered by Carolyn Holthoff, ODOT Cultural Resources Manager in the Geo-Environmental Section. While some fieldwork is conducted in house, most is performed through interagency agreements and private contracts. Our team is nationally recognized program. We also have conducted several educational events such as the Ashland Mock Dig and the Elk Trail Elementary School Mock Dig.
Descriptions of the various laws and regulations which protect Oregon´s historic resources. As our cities grow and change through the years, the protection of our cultural resources becomes more and more important. For our consultants, links are provided to documents which you will need to comply with the above regulations. The ODOT Cultural Resources Program, in coordination with the Bridge Preservation Program, is developing a state-wide Historic bridge guide that will capture the known historic bridges in the state. It will be available on this website, and will welcome input on it from the public.

Hey, remember when President Obama crusaded against Medicare fraud and vowed to crack down aggressively on scammers who've bilked the program out of an estimated $90 billion?
Like Archie and Edith Bunker used to sing: Those were the daaaays.
While Democrats pretend to protect the elderly and disabled, leaders of the People's Party have pocketed gobs of campaign contributions from fat-cat donors tied to massive Medicare rip-off schemes.
Let's talk some more about Dr. Salomon Melgen, shall we? We now know that the jet-setting Florida eye doctor who flew beleaguered Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., to several alleged sex romps in the Dominican Republic also overbilled the government by $8.9 million for care at his clinic. That's according to Menendez's own aides. They acknowledged last week that their boss met with federal health bureaucrats at least twice to lobby on Melgen's behalf.
"Federal investigators and health-care auditors have had concerns about Melgen's billing practices at various times over the past decade," according to two former federal officials who spoke to The Washington Post. "In part, they have examined the volume of eye injections, surgeries and laser treatments performed at his West Palm Beach clinic."
Now, brace yourselves. A Menendez aide says that while Sen. Sleaze-Bob intervened, he didn't know nuttin' about Melgen being under investigation. Just like he didn't know nuttin' about his longtime aide working for Melgen's port security firm in the Dominican Republic, on whose behalf Sen. Sleaze-Bob also intervened.
And just like he didn't know nuttin' about yet another ride on Melgen's plane in 2008 (exposed this week by the conservative Daily Caller), which he forgot to disclose to the Senate.
Senate Democratic leaders have done nuttin' to prevent Menendez, who also sits on the Senate Finance Committee overseeing Medicare, from playing a prominent role in Medicare reform negotiations while Melgen's Medicare fraud investigation unfolds.
It's all par for the Democrats' conflict-of-interest course, of course. Recently departed Obama health care czar Nancy-Ann DeParle raked in millions from her positions on a handful of corporate boards under fire for various regulatory violations, whistleblower complaints and Medicare fraud.
One of the companies for which DeParle served as a director, kidney dialysis empire DaVita, has been plagued by whistleblower fraud allegations for nearly 20 years. These include long-standing claims (many still under investigation or the subject of ongoing litigation) that the company overused the anemia drug Epogen and then billed Medicare for it; submitted fraudulent Medicare claims for dialysis drugs; and forged alleged kickback schemes between doctors and joint ventures. Continued...
Another Medicare fraud suspect, the Stryker Corporation, paid nearly $17 million to settle allegations about false claims submissions in 2007. Pat Stryker, liberal heiress to the Stryker fortune, is an Obama bundler and one of the Democratic Party's wealthiest progressives. She was also behind the now-bankrupt Obama green energy boondoggle in Colorado, Abound Solar.
While the Obama campaign (aided and abetted by the lapdog media) viciously smeared Mitt Romney by tying him to Medicare fraud he had absolutely nothing to do with while at Bain Capital, this White House has escaped any scrutiny of its own ties to accused Medicare scammers. Instead, the administration was happy to powwow with Menendez and other Democratic leaders on policy strategy this week.
What did they have to say about Menendez's lobbying on behalf of Medicare exploiter Melgen and the conflict-of-interest cloud stretching from Capitol Hill to 1600 Pennsylvania? Nuttin'.

Hundreds of thousands of Internet users whose computers are infected with a particularly nasty virus are now unable to access the Web.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation shut down Internet servers that it temporarily set up to support those affected by malicious software, called DNSChanger. Turning off those servers knocked all those still infected offline.
Over the past five years, a group of six Estonian cybercriminals infected about 4 million computers around the world with DNSChanger. The malware redirected infected users' Web searches to spoofed sites with malicious advertisements.
In November 2011, the FBI and some overseas partners arrested those responsible, commandeered their servers, and attempted to warn those affected to get rid of the virus.
The FBI did not immediately take down the rogue servers, as infected computers would have lost Internet access, an FBI spokesman said.
To remedy the problem, the FBI had the nonprofit Internet Systems Consortium set up temporary servers. That way, computer owners would have time to get rid of their malware.
The servers were supposed to be shut down in March, but hundreds of thousands remained infected. Nearly 211,000 computers worldwide (about 42,000 in the United States) still have the virus, according to the FBI's latest count on Monday. That's a large number, but it's a very small subset of the 1.6 billion PCs worldwide, of which an estimated 339 million are in the United States.
Still, the FBI decided to give people even more time to check for the malware, extending the deadline until July. The agency now says the time has come to cut the cord, and the emergency servers were shut down Monday morning.
Though the FBI tried to send notifications to those infected, it could not identify all of them, a spokesman said.
To help the users still infected, the agency laid out a step-by-step plan on how to check to see if your computer has the virus. The quickest way to see if your system is OK is to go to dns-ok.us, a site set up to check for the infection.

Grammy Awards 2013: Races to watch

Restless City has been much buzzed about since its debut at the Sundance Film Festival last year. Watching this movie is like some sort of visual massage - Nigerian director Andrew Dosunmu uses the landscape of New York City to frame the story of an African immigrant who finds himself mixed up in a world of trouble when he falls for a beautiful callgirl under the thumb of a vindictive gangster. Everything about this movie oozes style and a sort of film noir quality reminiscent…

I am making jewelry tiers with dishes and candlesticks; instead of using silicone , I am using E6000. However it is much drippier than silicone and is dripping down my glass ware. I suppose I can use a razor when it hardens, but is there anything else to get the drips off? I also used permanent marker to try to mark my spot on the underneath glass dish and it shows, how do I get it off also? One more thing..any ideas of how to better glue the dishes and candlestick together? There is not much surface room on the candle stick for the glue. It is not a flat surface.I am afraid I may have to take it apart if it starts to fall apart, but this is the prettiest one I have done so far. Anyone have experience working with thin lipped glass ware and glue? Thanks.... | |||
Marker on glass? Try acetone nail polish remover or WD40? If you have any plastic/plexiglass items...then use liquid lighter fluid for cleaning. If these are exposed to the elements or outside, I would sure use an exterior rated clear silicone caulk. And if you want it to stay together for a LONG time, even if indoors...use the Silicone. It is so much better at holding and filling gaps than the E6000. | ||||
On the E6000 - The adhesive bond can be broken through the use of the solvent like acetone, toluene, or naphtha. Applying a small amount of solvent to the glue can cause it to break up, freeing whatever it has come into contact with. Try some nail polish remover. Sometimes on glass surfaces the glue can be lifted by using a razor blade and pulling it off. The permanent marker - also try using nail polish remover. If that doesn't work you can lightly sand it off. In the future you might want to use a dry erase marker to mark your glass. "Welcome to reality would you like some popcorn?" | ||||
Thanks , this has come in handy. Trying to get the marker off, but I seem to have glued over it. But I will be more careful ..dry erase...yup. Definitely dont like E6000, back to silicone.Thanks again! | ||||

You are a freak of nature. My OC experiments have involved a lot of negative attention, and some negative POSITIVE attention ("Hey cool! Is that a Glock? Can I hold it? Is it for sale? Hey Lenny, come lookit this guy carryin' a Glock around!" etc.)
This has been mostly while clean shaven, high close haircut in a 'newscaster neutral' style and business casual garb.
The only LEO attention I garnered was from an out of state cop (from Maryland) who came up behind me and very belligerently and confrontationally asked me if I was familiar with the firearms laws of my state. When I said "yes" and proceeded to explain some of the laws, the ccw process, and other stuff, he got really interested and the interaction became much more pleasant and conversational.

Family Dog Skinned Alive! By; Rick McCann www.privateofficer.com
Family Dog Skinned Alive! by; Rick McCann www.privateofficer.com
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals announced Wednesday that it's offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for skinning alive a Vinemont family's pet beagle.
The Cullman County Sheriff's Department is investigating the animal cruelty case reported Nov. 18. A beagle named Anne was skinned alive on her back and sides. She was later euthanized. Another beagle owned by the family, Buttercup, also suffered minor cuts.
In its press release PETA said it believes that other animals in the area, and even residents, may be in danger as long as those responsible for the attack on the two beagles are at large. The group also is urging residents not to leave their animals outside unattended.
PETA cruelty caseworker Kristin DeJournett said usually the group offers $1,000 in cruelty cases. But in cases like the Vinemont one, it is offering $2,500.
"I've been working at PETA doing reward cases for three years and this is the worst I've seen," DeJournett said. "When I saw the pictures I was horrified."
PETA officials said that anyone with information about the case should call the Cullman County Sheriff's Department at 256-734-0342. Kent Faulk.
Sheriff investigators tell us that they are working this as an active case and those responsible will face felony charges.

The Castle: An Illustrated History of the Smithsonian Building, Second Edition
by Richard Stamm
When visitors to the nation's capital embark on a day of museum visits at the National Mall, the most striking building in their midst is undoubtedly the Smithsonian Castle. Its iconic architecture has come to symbolize the Smithsonian. Today the Castle is both the central administration building for the entire Smithsonian Institution and the public doorway to all of its museums and galleries. But in years past it housed the families of the head of the Smithsonian at the same time that it served as research offices for far-flung explorations and as space for collections, exhibitions and restorations. The newly designed second edition of The Castle: An Illustrated History of the Smithsonian Building explores the architectural details of turrets and tombs, and layers that with the stories of the people who have served inside this beloved, nineteenth-century medieval revival landmark. Softcover, 192 pages, 25 color and 165 b&w photographs.
Museum Provenance
This product is adapted from or inspired by an item in the Castle Collection. The Architectural History and Historic Preservation Division was organized in 1986 to act as curator of the Smithsonian's diverse campus of buildings. The Division strives to foster an understanding of the heritage of the Smithsonian buildings through preservation, research and education. The three primary areas of responsibility are architectural history, historic preservation and collections management.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

Will Monty help SACS?
24 Jan 2009
SACS have employed former KES sporting guru Cedric Finlayson to run the school's rugby set-up.
Finlayson's wealth of experience and expertise should add to an already highly competitive SACS team.
Don't be surprised to see former Bok Percy Montgomery getting involved in his alma mater now that he has relocated back to Cape Town.
Dynamic headmaster and rugby fanatic Ken Ball is putting a lot of emphasis on the school's teams this year.
One Comment
24 Mar 2009, 16:14 pmAll this talk about SACS, Rondebosch & Bishops.
Unfortunately Wynberg doesn't feature due to a pathetic headmaster who is only interested in his sports being hockey and cricket. I don't think he realises that when you open the Argus on a Sunday morning its the rugby results in it and not hockey results. All the other schools have added something new this year be it coaches, consultants etc. to improve the standard, not Wynberg. Wynberg have the potential this year to be an excellent side but guess what, the principal doesn't care so the results will reflect that. The coaches might not be the greatest but if there is no support from the top whats the point.
Very concerned Old Boy
