So how many ways can you catch the same fish on a fly rod? A question I always ask myself when I chase the reef critters that inhabit the Oregon Coast. So far we've explored circle hooks, top water, the bay, beyond the bar, and behind the reefs all with relative success(I'm still alive). I have a couple posts left then I'm thinking we let this dead horse take a rest for a while outside of the occasional fish porn update.
An often asked question is "Do you ever fish off the rocks or beach?" I LOVE to! No boats, less gas, and you are forced to learn an area we'd pass through and fish for only a few minutes. That being said I'm part crab so before you go out and do a swan dive off Cape Arago there are a lot of things you'll need to do to stay safe and in the game.
First and foremost... YOU NEED STUDS IN YOUR BOOTS! It doesn't matter what boots you have and the bigger the studs the better. I have broken bones and several rods by not having proper studs and it is the only way to do this safely.
Understand the tidal influences of the area you intend to fish
Dual purpose Safety and fish-ability
Rods and other essentials.
Saltwater resistant rods in the 8wt or better class will get you started. Leave the shooting heads at home opting instead for full intermediate or type 3-4 fly lines. These lines will keep you under the surface chop, but out of the rocks. Remember you are stripping into the rocks and not the other way around so if you fancy your flies and rods you'll learn this very quickly! Leaders should be 9ft long and no stronger than 15lb. This will keep your rods and fly line safe allowing you to break off without too much trouble. The normal flies work... Anything "shrimpy", "fishlike", or "crittery" will do. Basically if you do a flats trip and have left over flies you are in...also estuary salmon bugs are a winner. Lastly I'd recommend a stripping basket to help with line management. If you have any questions about some of the finer details give us a call at the shop and we'll help you out!

The Spirit Of Brokenness
Contributed by Jamie Wright on Mar 3, 2004 (message contributor)
Summary: Brokenness is a spiritual condition that attracts the attention of God. Brokenness always gives us more understanding of ourselves and Him. Admittedly, we resist this process. It is hard to give up our agendas, objectives, aspirations and interests. B
The Spirit of Brokenness
Pastor Jamie Wright Maranatha Fellowship Church 02-15-04
Brokenness is a spiritual condition that attracts the attention of God
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart. Ps. 34:18
I. Brokenness exposes the flame! (LIGHT)
Philippians 2:15 KJV
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
We can see this illustrated in Gideon's army.
It was just after midnight, after the changing of the guard, when Gideon and the one hundred men with him reached the outer edge of the Midianite camp. Suddenly, they blew the horns and broke their clay pitchers.
vs. 20
Then all three groups blew their horns and broke their pitchers. They held the blazing torches in their left hands…
The torches were lit but the flame could not be seen. Once the pitcher was broken the flame exploded into the darkness dispelling it.
What needs broken in me so the flame of God can shine out? Is it my arrogance, my complaining or murmuring? Could it be my vanity or my fault finding? What have I allowed to become a cover hiding my light?
Luke 11:33 GN
"No one lights a lamp and then hides it or puts it under a bowl; instead, it is put on the lamp stand, so that people may see the light as they come in.
Don't keep the light in the pot, let it be exposed; become broken. Allow God to break your clay pot open today.
God will use your broken pitcher to expose your shining light in two ways:
1. Affect the lost. Without our lights shining the lost in the world see no hope. They can't see were they are going. They need light to dispel their darkness. We must be broken so our lights will shine in this dark world.
2. Assist us. We need light to help reveal to us our need for Him.
Brokenness always gives us more understanding of ourselves and Him.
II. Brokenness produces fruit (LIFE)
John 12:24 NKJV
Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit.
Seeds must be broken open and die. Once they die and are buried the transformation begins. Nothing of its former existence remains. It has died in the process of giving life. Gone are its identity, form, independence, value and beauty. All has been surrendered.
Admittedly, we resist this process. It is hard to give up our agendas, objectives, aspirations and interests. But that is what we must do.
Our example is Jesus. His life was broken. He said He came only to do the will of His Father who sent Him. We hear Jesus repeatedly say this. Even in the Garden when He is praying to the Father to take the cup of death from Him. He says, but nevertheless, not my will but your will be done.
The will of the Father was that Jesus' body be broken and planted as a seed so we all could have eternal life. He was beaten, spat upon, mocked, beard plucked out, a crown of thorns with 2 inch long thorns mashed into his skull. His heart probably exploded in the garden, thus the drops of blood. Then he is given 39 bone crushing, skin tearing, blood splattering lashes on his back and sides until his vital organs are exposed. One lash away from death. Then a splinter filled wooden cross is placed on his back and he was driven through the crowds of people carrying his cross up Calvary's hill. He is our example. His hands and feet were nailed to the cross. His side was slit open by a spear and blood and water flowed. His body was literally broken for you and for me. He died. Just as the seed dies and is placed in the ground Jesus was placed in the tomb, dead as a seed. What was he going to produce? What fruit would he bear? He was about to come up out of the ground, the first of many brethren to be resurrected. His death produced life. Eternal life for me and you.
We must follow his example. I am not talking about sack cloth and ashes. Crawling up stairs until your knees are bloody. I am not even talking about your physical body being broken as Jesus' was. But the word of God says
And he said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

A pictorial feast of photographic images - from portraiture and travel to sports and nature - will be on offer in Batley from this weekend.
Around 100 prints, created by members of Batley's Camera Club, are in the organisation's annual exhibition at the town centre art gallery.
Both long-serving members of the club and newcomers - around 30 in total - have submitted work for the 62nd show.
Batley Camera Club was founded more than a century ago when photography was still in its infancy. Today, however, members have embraced digital photography and use the latest computer technology in pursuit of the perfect picture.
Secretary Ian Perry explained: "Digital technology has made it a lot easier and cheaper to get a decent picture and I don't know of anyone in the club now who takes film.
"We have all sorts of tutorials and talks to improve technique. You can always pick something new up, even if you are experienced."
Teacher Gerry Quinn, the club's president, says he joined the organisation three years ago in order to improve his skills.
"I bought my first DSLR camera about five years ago, prior to that I was just a 'happy snapper', " he said. "I have been using digital cameras in school from the early days of digital and wanted to do better. My photography has moved on a lot."
The club is holding an open evening tonight between 6pm and 8pm, when visitors can meet and chat to members.
It runs a series of practical sessions throughout the year from its base at St Andrew's Church Hall, Denison Street, Batley. Check out the website, www.batleycameraclub.com for further details.
The exhibition is open until early June.

This allows you to place a background picture in a planar view for use as a modeling aid. For example, suppose you are building a model of a car — you can load scale diagrams of the car into the top, right and front views and use the diagrams to help you model the car accurately. The picture will be zoomed automatically when you zoom the view.
Click the three dots button and use the file selector that opens to choose the background picture. Any bitmap format recognized by Cinema 4D can be loaded.
You can also place a background image via drag & drop from your computer's desktop directly onto a viewport.
Here you can temporarily switch a background picture on or off.
These modes define how the pixels of an image loaded into the background will be used to generate new pixels when the image is scaled. Next sharpens edges and Linear will blur.
Ensures that the background picture will keep its original proportions when scaled.
Offset X [-∞..+∞]
Offset Y [-∞..+∞]
Size X [-∞..+∞]
Size Y [-∞..+∞]
Here you can move or scale the background picture horizontally or vertically.
This parameter allows you to rotate the background picture.
Defines the transparency of the background picture.
If the background picture has an alpha channel you can use this setting to specify how the alpha channel should be evaluated.
The alpha channel is ignored.
Uses the alpha channel to mask (i.e. hide) parts of the picture.
Same as Normal except swaps around which parts are masked and which are displayed.
This is where you define the properties of the world grid.
With this option you can switch to the behavior of the world grid. This option is only available for reasons of compatibility. If enabled, an automatic world grid will be used in all views and guidelines will be displayed and hidden automatically when a view is zoomed in/out.
Grid Spacing is the distance between grid lines.
Lines enables you to choose the total number of grid lines (stretching over the X axis and Z axis); the default value is 100. When you choose a higher value, the grid will extend further towards the horizon. This setting is only relevant in the perspective views.
Major Lines Every nth [1..2147483647]
The grid contains major interval lines that stand out from the others by their darker color. With this option you can choose how often these interval lines should occur.
With this option you always get an optimal grid width on the screen, independently of the chosen grid spacing. This applies to the 2D viewports only. Use the drop-down list to choose the factors for the dynamic grid.
If you select None, the grid is not dynamic and the grid spacing (with its default value of 100) remains constant, no matter how much you zoom.
But if you select, say, 1 … 10, the grid is adjusted in steps of 10 as you zoom. If you zoom in and the spacing becomes too wide for the view, Cinema 4D switches automatically to a grid spacing of 10. If you zoom in nearer still, it is changed to 1. If you zoom out from the default grid and the grid width of 100 becomes too dense for clarity, it is first switched to a grid spacing of 1000 and then higher still as necessary should you zoom out further. There are no restrictions up or down.
Selecting 1 … 5 … 10 means that grid widths of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, etc. can be achieved, whereas selecting 1 … 2 … 5 … 10 means that values such as 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and so on, are possible.

TORONTO (August 13, 2018) – Titan Medical Inc. (TSX: TMD) (NASDAQ: TMDI) ("Titan" or "the Company"), a medical device company focused on the design and development of a robotic surgical system for application in minimally invasive surgery ("MIS"), announces financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
All financial results are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and are reported in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the period ended June 30, 2018 may be viewed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
David McNally, President and CEO of Titan Medical, said, "During the second quarter and recent weeks we made excellent progress advancing the development of the SPORT Surgical System, including achieving all stated milestones. We believe the care we are taking now to incorporate surgeon feedback into product design, as well as placing a rigorous focus on training modules will support a successful product launch, which is expected in 2020. Specifically, our milestone achievements during the quarter include planning software development and product upgrades; demonstrating the first two modules of our simulation software; prototyping, testing and procuring surgeon feedback on revised workstation controls; completing software and hardware change requirements and finalizing computer and software architecture for production systems; and completing revisions and demonstrating performance of the instrument and lens wash system.
"We have also strengthened our team. We increased the size of our board to six directors with the appointment of Domenic Serafino, a long-standing medical technology veteran. In recent weeks we expanded the advisory role for Dr. Arnold Advincula to include clinical education and hospital economics. Dr. Advincula has served on our Surgeon Advisory Board for the past four years."
Mr. McNally added, "We achieved a watershed event with the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We believe this listing expanded awareness of Titan among U.S. investors, and note that trading on Nasdaq is quite liquid. We also believe this listing supported our recent $19 million equity capital raise from U.S. institutional and Canadian investors, which provides funds to continue development of the SPORT Surgical System. For the first time, Titan Medical's shareholder base now includes a number of U.S.-based healthcare investors."
Business highlights for the second quarter of 2018 and recent weeks include:
Financial results for the second quarter of 2018 include (all comparisons are with the second quarter of 2017, unless otherwise stated):

Sad News from The Hideaway
Hello everybody! I am sorry to have been gone for so long, but I bring very sad news about my young friend Cleopatra, who after 15 years of living at The Hideaway, you know that great value 5 star guest house in Swellendam on the Garden Route in the Western Cape of South Africa, has entered her 10th life. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Per, another Egyptian queen from the 4th Dynasty and still having a few of my 9 lives left, I have decided to come to live at The Hideaway. I must say, I have been impressed so far with the service provided by my staff, Jackie and Stephen, who look after my every need. Wonderful, comfy beds in beautiful rooms, fabulous facilities, even my own iPod docking station - it is amazing how far things have come since my reign in 2600BC! -. The food is wonderful and everybody talks about the hospitality (I'm not sure what hospitality is, being a cat, but never mind!) . Summer is nearly here at the foot of the Langeberg mountains, the whales are starting to move off to Antarctica, but some guests are still getting great pictures of whales on their cameras. Sometimes the weather is so warm my staff turn on the air conditioning, which I quite like, but I hate those fans on the ceiling, they are so-o-o scary! Gotta go and have a catnap. Bye for now!

Retired NBA basketball star Dennis Rodman has said he would like to introduce rapper Kanye West to Kim Jong Un so he can write a song about North Korea.
Rodman, 57, is a long-time friend of the North Korean leader, and one of the few Westerners to have met the North Korean dictator and regularly visited the secretive, authoritarian state.
In an interview with US Weekly, published on Wednesday, Rodman said: "I think that he (Kim) respects me as far as understanding my views. And Kanye, he's doing amazing work around the world so I respect him, too.
"So hopefully one day we'll get together and collaborate on certain things. Guess what, I'll take Kanye West to North Korea with me.
"Matter of fact, I'm going to invite him next time I go to North Korea. If the door's open in September, I will invite Kanye West with me to go to North Korea with me.
"If he wants to make an album about that he'll be there for like six to seven days, and he'll see what's going on. Now, go make a song about this. So here you go."
Last week, singer and songwriter West described the former Chicago Bulls player as one of his "biggest inspirations" after receiving a signed vest from him.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Thank to one of my biggest inspirations … always breaking barriers with independent thought pic.twitter.com/WQLKCG7tXM— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) July 10, 2018
West posted an image of the top on Twitter thanking Rodman for the gift and paid tribute to him for "always breaking barriers with independent thought".
In response, Rodman tweeted a video in which he suggested he and West record a song together.
"Let's me and you do a track together man, about world peace, about leaders of love, baby, about leaders of love."
Let's make history baby! @kanyewest pic.twitter.com/4hNpSGOa9y— Dennis Rodman (@dennisrodman) July 14, 2018
Rodman and West have both praised US President Donald Trump and have both been seen wearing 'Make America Great Again' caps.
In April, West and the controversial politician posted a series of complimentary messages on Twitter.
West said of Mr Trump: "You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy.
"He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought."
Mr Trump - who met West when he was President-elect in December 2016 - was keen to share the praise with his own followers, telling the star the comments were "very cool".
Following the US-North Korea summit in June between Mr Trump and Mr Kim, their mutual friend Rodman broke down in tears during an emotional TV interview in which he described the meeting as "amazing" and "a great day".
Recalling the "many death threats" he received over his controversial visits to Pyongyang to meet Mr Kim, he told CNN: "I knew things were going to change... I knew it, I was the only one."

Often I have sweet potatoes for lunch but like a little variety in how I cook them. This french fries version is delicious and rather simple to make.
Sweet Potato Fries
2 pounds sweet potatoes, about 3 large ones
2 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
1-2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp salt
1. Preheat oven to 450°F. (For more crispiness, preheat your oven to 500°F.)
2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut off the ends. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and then, if they are very long, in half crosswise. Cut each piece into wedges.
3. Put the sweet potatoes into a large bowl and add the oil. Mix well to combine. Sprinkle with salt, sugar and spices of your choice. Use your hands to mix well, so all pieces are coated with oil and spices.
4. Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet that is lined with non stick aluminum foil. (Note: other suggestions putting them on a wire cooling rack on top of a baking sheet, so that the oven air circulates around the sweet potato pieces and you don't have to turn them in the next step.)
5. Bake for a total of 25 to 30 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn over all of the sweet potato pieces. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are well browned. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Don't surrender on your body fitness post-pregnancy, use girdles and double your happiness.
Pregnancy is a feeling to rejoice. Do not spoil the happiness by fearing obesity or shape-loss. Be smart and use girdles.
A lot of people give-up on their bodies post their pregnancy. In fact, a lot of women are scared to get pregnant with the fear of getting out of shape after the baby is born. Do not make the mistake these women made, be positive and prepared to get fit. Get back your shape as soon as you get your baby.
Here is how Post-Pregnancy Girdles- These are very common and highly used in the west, but in India it is a flourishing concept. It is a highly effective technique to restore your skin and shape post-pregnancy. A post-partum girdle works wonders on new mothers who have either had a c-section, or wants compression not just in the abdomen area, but the backside and hips, too. These girdles go un-noticed as they are skin colored and stick to your body restoring the skin.
They are as good as your undergarments.These girdles are to be worn 24hrs during the first week post pregnancy and gradually the usage can reduce as you notice the change. But this isn't a problem since these girdles are made of soft fabric and have a very comfortable design.
There are various models of girdles available in the market including; Pull-up, side-zipper or corset models. Each model has its own significance and benefits.
The main reason why post pregnancy girdles are still not very popular is their cost. These work wonders but they are not cost-friendly. Another reason is the wrong attitude towards weight gain and shape-loss among people. Once they are mothers, fitness becomes their last priority. Buck up ladies! Be a fit mother and a smart woman.

One of the lasting legacies of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the Big Bad formula. Each season was structured around one ultimate threat, like Mayor Wilkins or Glory, that would loom over every episode, even when it wasn't actually present.
But Joss Whedon and company didn't slack off when it came to the little guys, the monsters that showed up for just one episode of the show, and were never heard from again. While Buffy's greatest battles were usually between her and a long standing character viewers loved to hate (or just plain loved), there are some cool figures who stepped into the ring with the Slayer for one night only.
Below, in order of appearance, are the best villains, specifically demons and other non-vamps, that Buffy encountered for just one episode. They were judged based on how terrifying they looked, the craftiness of their methods, and the emotional toll they took on our beloved Scoobies. The best excelled at all three.
15 Ted - "Ted"
Ted serves as a perfect emblem of Buffy's metaphorical intent. When her mother starts dating a new guy, Buffy becomes cautious of the man like any daughter of a divorced parent would. Granted, Buffy's concerns are deep-seated ones planted by her Slayer occupation, but her worries are totally relatable on a human level, as is the loneliness she feels when Ted appeals to everyone except her. At least for a little while.
After making multiple threats to Buffy behind everyone's back, and eventually slapping her across the face, Buffy finally fights back by pushing him down the stairs. Luckily, Ted is a killer robot and Buffy's suspicions about him being dangerous turn out to be true.
Ted is campy in the style of early Buffy, and in that that respect he's enjoyable. But what makes Ted stand out is the real fear he represents, something that speaks to Buffy's primary conceit.
14 Der Kindestod - "Killed by Death"
Translated from German, "Der Kindestod" literally means "the child's death." True to its name, Der Kindestod preys on the lives of sick children, intentionally making their deaths look like a result of their ailments rather than his nefarious, life-sucking powers. If that wasn't horrifying enough, Der Kindestod is visible only to children with a high fever, so adults attribute his victims' fears to their illnesses. One of these victims is a young girl named Celia, Buffy's cousin.
A commonly forgotten person in Buffy's backstory, Celia acts as one of the formative elements in Buffy's hero complex. As kids, Buffy and her cousin play games in which Celia pretends to be the helpless civilian and Buffy pretends to be the superhero that rescues her. But when Der Kindestod comes for Celia, Buffy can do nothing to save her life.
After becoming the Slayer, she meets Der Kindestod again. In order to see him, she purposefully makes herself sick. Buffy does end up snapping his neck, but he leaves a traumatic scar on her that will never fade.
13 James and Grace - "I Only Have Eyes for You"
After suffering a massive heartbreak of her own, Buffy winds up vicariously suffering the heartbreak of a ghost in "I Only Had Eyes for You." James Stanley is a student at Sunnydale High during the 1950s who kills the teacher he's been having an affair with, Grace Newman. Enraged that she wants to end the relationship, James shoots Grace and then himself. Half a century later, James and Grace still haunt Sunnydale High, possessing those who walk its halls so they can reenact their final encounter, all the way to its deadly conclusion.
Buffy realizes that the only way to stop more people from dying is to help James atone for murdering Grace. In a gender reversal for the ages, James possess her body just as Grace possesses her ex, Angel (technically now Angelus, his evil counterpart). Channeling her spirit through Angel, Grace forgives James and the two ghosts are set free.
While neither intended to harm Buffy, James and Grace force her into a seemingly tender reunion with her former lover only to remind her, in a second's time, the true, painful state her love life is in.
12 Ken - "Anne"
Living alone in Los Angeles, Buffy's already pitiful circumstances worsen after she meets Ken. Ken, a demon wearing heavy makeup to disguise as a human, offers shelter to runaway teens roaming LA. In actuality he recruits them to be slaves in the hellish dimension he calls home. Buffy investigates Ken after an acquaintance of her's goes missing, following a trail that leads to his giant horde of enslaved innocents.
To be fair, Ken's defeat finally motivates Buffy to return to Sunnydale. Not the worst impression for a bad guy to leave. However, returning home for Buffy entails rebuilding all the bridges she burned by leaving in the first place. Her mom and friends are all hesitant to trust Buffy after her sudden departure in the season two finale. Ken also temporarily stops Anne, Buffy's acquaintance, from journeying on a road to recovery that goes on until the last episode of Angel.
11 Hans and Gretta - "Gingerbread"
The horror genre is one of Buffy's key influences, and nothing screams horror like a pair of creepy kids. A demon inhabits the bodies of Hans and Gretta Strauss (unsurprisingly the basis for Hansel and Gretel) after the two children die in the 17th century.
In the future, Hans and Gretta play dead in front of Buffy's mother Joyce, leading her to believe their killings were the product of an occult sacrifice. Hans' and Gretta's spirits torture Joyce's mind until she leads a crusade of mothers against perceived cultists, among them Buffy's best friend, Willow.
Aside from fitting comfortably in the horror strands of Buffy's DNA, Hans and Gretta exact some heavy misfortune not only onto Buffy but also her friends. They demonize sweet, wouldn't-hurt-a-fly (for now) Willow in the eyes of her own mother. So much so her mom almost burns her at the stake with a legion of angry moms behind her. Even their group's hilarious name, Mothers Opposing the Occult (or MOO), does little to assuage the terror poor Willow endures.
10 Balthazar - "Bad Girls"
Balthazar has the most revolting appearance of any Buffy villain. He holds sway over his own private cult of vampires, employing one of them to constantly spoon liquid over his moist body while he soaks in a tub of indeterminate substances.
The vampires under Balthazar's command are searching for an amulet that will restore his powers in full. But even without the amulet, Balthazar shows himself to be pretty powerful. He can pull vampires toward him telekinetically and break their necks with his pudgy little hands.
Balthazar is actually the least interesting part of "Bad Girls" because Faith's moral ambiguity upstages his pure menace. He nonetheless holds a spot on this list because of his disgusting looks alone. The Scoobies kill him by way of electrocution, but before dying he spitefully warns them of greater threats yet to come, and promises Buffy she'll wish he killed her.
9 Gachnar - "Fear, Itself"
In the Buffyverse, demons consider Halloween tacky and use it as a night off from havoc-wreaking. Gachnar forgoes this position and turns a frat's haunted house themed party into an actual haunted house. The demon forces Buffy and her friends to face their greatest fears by bringing them to life. Xander becomes unseen and unheard, Oz transforms into a werewolf despite the absence of a full moon, and Willow loses control over her magical powers.
Gachnar loses a lot of points in the end for being the size of an ant, but his frightful display beforehand is still noteworthy. Also noteworthy is his opportune timing. He catches the Scooby Gang at the beginning of their post high school life, a tumultuous time for any new college student (or in Xander's case, current parent's basement inhabitant). If only Gachnar wasn't so darn cute.
8 The Gentlemen - "Hush"
A landmark for the show, "Hush" landed Buffy its first (and sadly only) major Emmy nomination. The episode's success owes a large portion of its thanks to The Gentlemen, a group of creatures pulled straight from Joss Whedon's nightmares and brought to the screen with dazzling effects.
When The Gentlemen descend on Sunnydale, they riddle the town speechless. Literally. Unable to talk, Buffy and friends must find ways to communicate nonverbally. On top of the challenge they place onto the Scooby Gang, The Gentlemen collect the hearts of college students at UC Sunnydale. They need seven hearts in order to kill everyone in the town, and with the townspeople unable to shout for help their job becomes a whole lot easier.
Hovering above the ground as they move, ringing their palms with long grins stretched across their faces, The Gentlemen provide the most harrowing visuals in Buffy's entire run. But in the end, the truly awful crime The Gentlemen commit is forcing Buffy to have a serious conversation with Riley. What couple doesn't dread the inevitable "I'm a Vampire Slayer" talk?
7 Toth - "The Replacement"
Like with Hans and Gretta, Toth stands out for going after not just Buffy but also her friends, in this case Xander. Toth wields a Ferula Gemina and uses it to fire an incantation at Buffy. Xander takes the blow instead, and walks away from it apparently unharmed. However it's soon revealed that he's been split in two. Though both are technically Xander (here played by Nicholas Brendon and his twin), each thinks that only he is the real one, and both are willing to kill the other to prove it. To make matters worse, if one dies, both of them die.
Toth has the scary looks covered. His neon orange skull shines through cracked, mud-brown skin, and his teeth are stained neon green. Scarier still is the Toth's cunning. The Tothric Clan are known for being a more sophisticated class of demon, applying complex tools like the Ferula Gemina to attack mortals.
But really, Toth's dirtiest deed is cutting down Xander's self esteem, which is already at a record low. Feeling insufficient both in funds and as a boyfriend, Xander sees how much better his life would be if he just embraced his more confident self. His mood improves when he becomes one Xander again, though Anya would have preferred both Xanders for one twisted ménage à trois.
6 Queller - "Listening to Fear"
Some might disqualify Queller outright because of his extra terrestrial origins, something decidedly un-Buffy. But those people have to admit Queller's ways are undeniably sinister. A repugnant, shockingly agile slug-like creature, he targets the mentally ill and smothers them with goo he spits from a mouth with multiple rows of sharp teeth. His targets include Joyce Summers.
To add a lacerating insult to a severe injury, Joyce already has a brain tumor that occasionally sends her on sudden, incoherent outbursts. Her rants are so venomous and nonsensical that Buffy is unable to tell when it's the brain tumor's fault and when it's the Queller, sticking to the ceiling of Joyce's room and tormenting her from above. Fortunately, Buffy saves her mother before she chokes on goo.
Up to this point, Joyce has been Buffy's rock, mooring her throughout all sorts of emotional turbulence. But by the time the Queller comes along, Joyce lacks the mental capacity to console or support Buffy, leaving her daughter burdens no teenager should ever have to worry about. Chief among them caring for her little sister Dawn, who's not always the most pleasant person to deal with.
5 Olaf - "Triangle"
And now, a funny one. Olaf the troll has a habit of pillaging lands and an undying craving for babies. That being said, he's one of Buffy's more light-hearted adversaries. Played with jovial aplomb by Abraham Benrubi, it's hard to not keel over every time Olaf goes on goes on a wild tangent about his unquenchable thirst for ale (or when he shotguns several kegs of it).
Anya dated Olaf in the days before she became a vengeance demon. After discovering he cheated on her ("It was only one wench!") Anya puts a spell on Olaf that turns him into a troll. Needless to say, when Olaf comes to Sunnydale he a major vendetta to complete.
Humorous as he is, Olaf is not entirely without evil tendencies. He's breaks from his barbaric rampage for long enough to make Xander choose which person he wants to be left alive: Anya or Willow. Suddenly Olaf stops being fun and games, and presents Xander with an impossible decision between the two most important women in his life. Luckily Buffy, raw from her recent breakup with Riley, puts a beating on Olaf for trying to tear apart Xander and Anya
4 April - "I Was Made to Love You"
Upon creating April, Warren Mears exposed the mysogynistic side of nerdom (a practice that he would sadly carry out until his bitter end). April, a robot invented by Warren with the sole objective of loving him, enters an incomputable situation when Warren begins dating a flesh and blood person. Her programming pushes her to keep obeying Warren regardless, no matter who she might hurt in the process.
Though she wears the appearance of a brunette twenty-something, April is inhumanly strong - Strong enough to hurl a vampire like Spike out a window. However, unlike most of the bad guys on this list, April isn't scary because of some assortment of claws and teeth. She's not even scary exactly, just unnerving because of how she always has a smile on her face and a brightness in her tone.
April ultimately becomes a sympathetic character, revealing Warren to be the true villain of this episode. She was created by a man with the sole purpose of caring for him, and by design feels useless when that man no longer needs him. Pitying her, Buffy remains with April after ripping out her circuitry, sitting next to her on a swing set as she powers down. It's one of the rare quiet moments Buffy shares with an opponent.
3 Sweet - "Once More, With Feeling"
Another landmark episode for Buffy, "Once More, With Feeling" propelled Buffy into the musical genre. Sunnydale comes under a curse that causes its citizens to break into song and dance at the most unpredictable moments. At first this phenomenon doesn't seem like that much of an issue, until people start dancing their way to spontaneous combustion.
Sweet is the monster behind all of this, a tap-dancing devil with a smooth jazz singing voice. He comes to take Dawn away to his kingdom and make her his Queen, which Dawn points out is kind of illegal. When he find's out Dawn is Buffy's sister, he adjusts his plans slightly so he can watch Buffy burn in front of him.
What makes Sweet so scary has less to do with how he looks and more about his cock-sure manner. He always seems ahead of the game, on top of the situation. Sweet is actually the only villain on this list who arguably defeats Buffy. He departs without Dawn and releases Sunnydale from his curse, but he leaves Buffy and her friends with some hard truths to address. And he does it with a spring in his step and a song in his heart.
2 Glarghk Guhl Kashmas'nik - "Normal Again"
What if everything that's happened to Buffy is product of her imagination? Thanks to suspension of disbelief, viewers know this to be false. But when Buffy is teased with the notion that her reality is fantasy, it doesn't seem unreasonable to her.
This is the wrath of Glarghk Guhl Kashmas'nik, a demon summoned by a didgeridoo (yeah, a didgeridoo) to put Buffy through mental turmoil. Equipped with arms that shoot out spikes, one of these Whatchamacallits (not typing it again) inject a poison into the Slayer that makes her think she's in a mental hospital. She's convinced by apparition of Joyce, who is not only alive in this world but also still with Buffy's father, that all the events in her life, from the spells to the apocalypses, are total fiction.
Buffy warms to the idea that she isn't a Slayer, but instead a disturbed girl with delusions of the supernatural. Not only does she start to believe it, she also starts wanting to believe it. She acknowledges it would be easier to abandon her tenure as Slayer and indulge a simpler existence. The demon (still not typing it again) is evil for making Buffy think she's crazy. But he's downright diabolical for making her want to stay that way.
1 Gnarl - "Same Time, Same Place"
Season seven devoted most of its time to the First Evil and the potential Slayers, so there wasn't a whole lot of room for one-off villains. Fortunately, seasoned Buffy writer Jane Espenson gave us "Same Time, Same Place," an episode that showcased an insidious beast called Gnarl.
Gnarl rolls into Sunnydale around the same time Willow returns, having spent time in London amending for her recent bout with dark magic. As soon as Willow arrives, Buffy and the rest of the Scooby Gang find a flayed body at a construction site. They suspect the body is Willow's doing, since she did the same to Warren when she was consumed by dark magic.
It's ghastly enough that Gnarl eats human skin and has the ability to paralyze the objects of his appetite. But what solidifies him as a memorable villain in Buffy's long roster is how he adds to the distance between Buffy and Willow, which became Grand Canyon-sized after their final battle in season six. What was once an iron-clad friendship has become a more fragile relationship, and Gnarl's wicked plot almost obliterates it entirely.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is on Netflix until April 1st.

Dating can be an incredibly pleasant experience when you approach it correctly. When you are a busy person and hang out with the same friends after work, it can become quite difficult to find new acquaintances and women that you like. Fortunately, modern technologies give you a chance to expand the circle of people in your life and even connect with females from other countries, such as Russia. It's not a secret that Russian women are constantly praised for their beauty but it's not the only quality that makes them stand out from others.
What is so special about Eastern European women?
The majority of men that visit Russia or other Eastern European country are impressed by the number of gorgeous women everywhere. Despite the fact that Russian females are beautiful, family-oriented, hospitable, and caring, there are more than plenty single Russian women looking for their future boyfriends or husbands. According to the statistics, there are fewer men in the country than women, which is something that definitely contributes to the fact that there are a lot of women who are single.
When it comes to the qualities that separate Russian women from those raised in the Western countries, the number one that comes to mind is femininity. While a lot of females in Russia have successful careers, they don't forget about their feminine qualities, such as softness, elegance, kindness, and creating a cozy atmosphere at home.

Driving Down Costs to Solar Cells
Wednesday, May 21, 2014 @ 12:05 AM gHale
A new hyperbolic metamaterial has numerous applications in the optical field, including high efficiency solar cells.
While not the only factor in the overall cost of solar power, efficiency gains still play a major role in the steady trend toward solar power as cheap as – and cheaper than – fossil fuels.
Solar Cells get the Lead Out
Solving Thin Film Solar Cell Mystery
From Copper to Solar Cells
Fuel Cell View: Splitting Hydrogen
Metamaterials refers to a new class of engineered materials that have precisely designed nanoscale features etched or layered onto their surfaces, said researchers at Purdue University.
In the optical field, metamaterials take advantage of the plasmonic effect. The plasmonic effect refers to clouds of electrons, freed by the presence of light. Given the right surface structure, these electrons can end up manipulated to enable more efficient light harvesting.
Among the metamaterials already in development for plasmonic solar cells, back in 2011 there was a metamaterial with a nanoscale "waffle" design at Stanford. Metamaterials designed with nanopillars or nanorods are also in the works.
One of the obstacles to metamaterials development is the current metals of choice are gold and silver, which are not compatible with the standard manufacturing process for integrated circuits. They are also not particularly efficient conductors of light relative to other options.
For their solution, the Purdue-headed metamaterial team engineered a nanoscale "superlattice" crystalline structure (superlattice refers to a crystal grown in layers) made of the metal titanium nitride and a semiconductor called aluminum scandium nitride.
Titanium nitride has optical properties that resemble gold, but unlike gold it is compatible with the manufacturing standard. Titanium nitride is also durable and stable at high temperatures, and known for its amenability to growing in nanoscale crystalline films.
In the current study, each layer is 5-20 nanometers. The team also demonstrated the layers could get down to a thickness of only two nanometers, which works out to about eight atoms apiece.
This is one of the first successful demonstrations of the metal/semiconductor combo in decades of research, said lead author Bivas Saha of Purdue.
People have tried for more than 50 years to combine metals and semiconductors with atomic-scale precision to build superlattices. However, this is one of the first demonstrations of achieving that step. The fascinating optical properties are a manifestation of extraordinary structural control.
The material that behaves like a metal when light passes through in one direction, but it acts like an insulator when light passes through in a perpendicular direction.
The hyperbolic metamaterial behaves as a metal when light is passing through it in one direction and like a dielectric in the perpendicular direction. This "extreme anisotropy" leads to "hyperbolic dispersion" of light and the ability to extract many more photons from devices than otherwise possible, resulting in high performance.

Two sighter shots at 200 yds to test the wind yesterday went into one hole that measured .033. I shot PD's from around 200 to 394 lasered yards. The bullets performed very well at all ranges comparing favorably with the Nosler BT's I was also shooting. The 394 yd dog was still in one piece, but pretty thoroughly destroyed. I expect to shoot this bullet exclusively for a while.

Happy Friday!
TGIF…that alone might be my favorite quote of the week. Today I'm going to share some quotes I've stumbled upon throughout the week. Some funny, some inspiring, some simply because I liked them. Enjoy!
For the heart broken:
"Perhaps some day I'll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow." -Sylvia Plath
For the one who found love:
"When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew." -Arrigo Boito
For the book worm:
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads, lives only one." -George R. R. Martin
For the one needing confidence:
"Follow your intuition. Be smart, be brave, tell the truth and don't take any shit." -Kelly Cutrone
For the adventurer:
"Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what's right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in." -Andrew Zimmern
For the overachiever:
"You can never be overdressed or overeducated." -Oscar Wilde
For the human being:
"You're a human being, you live once, and life is wonderful, so eat the damn red velvet cupcake." -Emma Stone
It's the weekend… enjoy all the cupcakes you want!

fighting the wolves that come your way. Some have shields, which are
best dealt with a rocket thrust attack or killing him from behind.
Keep going right until you encounter your first mid-boss, a giant
monkey robot. It'll hop around and kick you as well as trying to land
on top of you. Note the bunch of bananas it's holding. You can grab
them, but don't take too long or they'll disappear. The attacks are
easy to dodge, just fly over or under it if it gets too close. It'll
take 6 thrust attacks to kill it.
Soon after, you'll board the warship. The turrets on the pole are easy
to destroy, and you'll see more of them later on in this level. The
giant robots blocking your path will take 4 thrust attacks. After the
two robots, you can break through the wall ahead for some fruit. Head
up, defeating the wolves and turrets. Break through the boxes and
continue on up. There's a box you can bust through for a gem, but
don't destroy the box on the ground unless you want wolves endlessly
coming out. Head to the right unless you see a pole you can slide
down. You can head to the left and break through the wall for 3 apple
halves if you need them, and there's one more up above the pole in the
corner before the corridor, but you'll need to jump up to get to it.
The last section just consists of you fending off more wolves, with
some coming out of holes in the ground. You'll see the princess, but
Axle Gear will fly away and snatch her before you can.
Boss: Golden Knight
It'll smash its fist through the floor constantly, as well as release
grasshopper-like robots at you. The fist doesn't harm you, but it can
block you as well as knock you and any of the grasshopper robots onto
the ceiling. Once the eye is hit twice, it'll fire lasers from it's
eye. The best way to avoid it is to stay in the far left corner of the
screen, the jump the moment you see the laser is fired. The weak point
is the eye, which you'll need to rocket into a few times.
Level 2
There are several ways to get through the first part. The long way
involves you moving along poles, destroying the flying machines with
your rolling or thrust attacks. You can smash through the white walls.
The top area mainly consists of poles you'll need to navigate as well
as those flying machines to destroy. At the end, you'll need to head
up the pipes and jump over the wall. You can also break the white wall
at the bottom at the start of the level for a shortcut. After several
more pipes, defeat or avoid the flamethrowers and saw and board the
Continue forward for more of the same. Again if you hate navigating
the pipes and fending off the flying enemies, then move forward and
boost upward to reach the top. Avoid getting smashed from the crushers
above, or you'll instantly die. Once you head down and to the right,
travel up and to the left with the rocket and pipes. Head to the right
and defeat the lone wolf on in the cart and work along the conveyor
belts. Up ahead is a roller, and if you are dumb enough to walk into
one, you'll get smashed and die, so don't fly recklessly.
Jump on top of the rollers and rocket up to the top. Defeat the two
wolves and collect the gems. Fly up on to the next conveyor belt, but
be careful of the crushers from the ceiling. Drop down, and if you
want to, you can break through the wall on the left for some bananas.
Now, you'll be in front of a screen. Look up and rocket through the
hole in the ceiling. You'll see a 1up in a bubble. You can collect it
like normal or gamble for it. You'll get 1,2 or 3 extra lives, or
you'll get a gem or an apple or some bananas.
You'll soon come across a machine that'll paint Sparkster red. For the
record, this does absolutely nothing and it'll "wash off" when you
reach the second clear screen. When you get there, fly up to the top
in the center of the screen for more gems. Then hop on the conveyor
belts and avoid the rollers, and drop down to face the boss. But I
suggest falling on the left side so you'll trigger its appearance
immediately. If not, it'll take a while to appear on screen.
Boss: Assembly Robot
This machine is pretty easy. You can pass through the arms without
taking any damage, but the stuff it picks up can harm you even if it's
on the conveyor belt. Depending on what it picks up, it'll fire homing
missiles, spin a pole with spiked balls for a few seconds, or fire a
laser. Jump on top of it and start attacking it's eye with your normal
attack as fast as you can. If you get knocked off, just jump back on
and resume spamming your normal attack. Piece of cake! ;)
Stage 3
This is pretty straightforward. You'll ride on a metal ostrich named
Stampy-do. Pressing Y while riding it will fire an energy ring. You
can use your other attacks, but they're best done by jumping. You'll
move uphill at a blinding fast speed, collecting gems and killing
robotic birds. Some carry wolves that fire guns at you. Always aim
for the birds, since they'll hassle you to no end if you leave them
alone, and any wolves they carry will easily be dropped. After a doing
this for a minute or so, Stampy-do will throw you off to another
ostrich below running to the left, and then it'll drop you on to
another one below running to the right. But if you want some extra
health and gems, fly to the right as soon as the first ostrich throws
you off. Use rolling attacks if necessary. Both paths will take you
to the mid boss, Wolfheim. He'll ride a giant green robot, and attacks
by throwing bombs and trying to hit you with its arms. Fly into him 5-
6 times to defeat him.
If you flew to the Stampy-do on the right, you'll drop down and collect
4 apples for heal any damage you took. If not, it'll just pass you
down to the next one. For a while, you'll move downward back forth,
being passed from ostrich to ostrich. Duck down to avoid the spiked
balls that lower down towards as you approach them, and avoid or defeat
the bats and you move down. You'll soon be heading to the right again.
Move to the far right side of the screen and stay there. The bridge
you're on will fall apart, and you'll be able to make it across safely.
The last part will have robots moving along vines throwing bombs at
you. Jump and hit them to defeat them easily.
Boss: Giant Caterpillar
For the first phase, it'll move along the vine and the head will fire
cannonballs at you. Sometimes, it'll fire apples you can collect for
health, but don't be too dependent on it. You can rocket into it's
parts one at a time, or hold up and fire Stampy-do's laser and blast at
the parts. When they do come off, crouch and fire at the parts until
they're destroyed. Once you've blown off enough parts, it'll move to
the second phase where it'll hop around and fire a flamethrower at you.
Duck down to avoid getting hurt by the flames. Rocket into it's head a
few times, or fire at it from a distance with Stampy-do's laser.
Stage 4
You'll be in a submarine now. Head to the left and go down the poles
and destroying the robot snakes. You'll see a big one piloted by a
wolf, fly into it four times to kill it. You'll drop down into an area
where a laser fires every so often. You'll also encounter wolves
hiding in alcoves, ducking to avoid the laser. Kill the wolves and
hide in the alcoves when the laser fires, and destroy the giant
reflector with a few sword swings. There are a total of three in this
room. Rocket up after destroying the third one, collecting the bananas
along the way. You'll soon come across a series of bunk beds with
wolves sleeping on them. You can deal with them as they wake up, or
fly through as fast as you can, since only two wolves will wake up at a
time. Regardless, head into the pipe.
You'll travel to the bottom part of the sub where the screws will pop
and water will burst from them. Wait for the water to down, before
moving on unless you like getting pushed up towards the spiked ceiling.
Move and to the left where you'll need to avoid the bursts of steam.
When you're on the floor with the wolves pedaling, stop in front of the
first pair and wolves and rocket up to the ceiling where you'll find a
lot of gems. Then head up the stairs and go down the poles. You'll
soon come to a dead end. Charge your rockets up and as soon as the
wall breaks down, jump and boost forward. Water will come your way and
you'll need to escape it by passing through the doors. If you're too
slow, Sparkster will drown. The path is right, up, left, up, right,
up, left, up, right. Remember to use the gems as a guide for where to
fly upwards, and use rolling attacks to regain control of Sparkster,
and do so in the direction you're going to move. Also, always jump and
boost, especially if you're going left, because there's alcoves that
can slow you down while you're trying to get away. This will take a
few tries to get down.
If you manage to make it out safely, you can jump up to the left to
find a fish. Hit it a few times for some prizes like food and gems,
but it'll soon explode once you hit it enough times (Sometimes it'll
take just one hit to destroy it). Go right, flying through the spikes
and head up. Now that you're on top of the submarine, head left.
Don't bother with the wolves in airplanes, just boost past them the
moment you see any on screen. You'll soon reach the boss.
Boss: Colonel Wolfheim
You won't face the Colonel just yet, first, defeat the three turrets
and you'll soon jump to the other side. Destroy the last turret to
trigger the real boss battle. He's not that hard, though. The main
section of the robot he's piloting is the part you'll need to hit.
He'll swing his arms at you, and sometimes fire the main cannon. Get
behind him early on by flying to the right, because he'll move towards
the left side of the screen for a little while. He'll jump all the way
back to the other side, though, so swap sides and continue using thrust
attacks on him until he goes down.
Stage 5
The first part consists of wolves and some piloting robots. I suggest
flying past them all ASAP. Once you reach the pyramid, go down and
boost to the left. Go to the right because the purple balls will smash
you if you move too slow. If you want a shortcut, fly downwards as
soon as you see a hole below you to enter another room and avoid the
two balls. Now, you'll pass through a set of revolving doors that'll
the interconnecting the pyramid. It'll swap between a horizontal,
diagonal, and a vertical piece. Passing through a revolver door on the
opposite side will reverse the order. If you just want the exit, keep
passing by the door until you get a diagonal piece, and head down to
the exit, which you'll recognize by the design on the wall.
If you want to explore, I'll tell you what's in all of the rooms, and
how to exit. When you pass through the first door, it'll go to a
horizontal piece. You can enter the room with 3 gems, but your control
will be reversed, and the buttons for attack/charge and jump will be
swapped until you exit the room. Go through the door until the next
piece is diagonal. This will lead you to the next room, where the
heads breathe fire. Avoid them while you snatch the apple and banana
(Assuming you've taken damage. Go forward until you get the horizontal
piece again and go to the other side. Head through the door until the
piece is diagonal and head on up to the top. If you went to the right
to see what was in that vase, destroying it would've released a bomb
that blows up. Just avoid it.
Now, in the highest room, keep hitting the statue. Usually it'll give
you gems, sometimes food, and sometimes, it'll give out bombs. If it
starts to give you nothing but bombs (And it will after hitting it for
a while), just leave. Go through the door until you get a vertical
piece, and drop down. Swap the next piece for a horizontal one, go to
the other end, and then swap for a vertical piece. Drop down and head
into the right where you'll find a bat and a 1up. But once you touch
it, fly out of the room as the floor will split away from you and
you'll land on the spikes (They don't instantly kill you, though).
Finally, change the piece to a diagonal one and go into the left to
enter a room with lots of bats and gems. To exit, change the piece to
a horizontal one, go to the other side to reach the exit.
The mid-boss is easy. Just fly into its head several times. At first
it'll move back and forth trying to hit you, but after 4-5 hits, it'll
fly around back and forth. Keep hitting the head from below and it's
over for him. In the next room, you'll need two destroy the two
flamethrowers that are holding the triangular platform up. Don't be
under it when it falls, though. Use the floating platforms to move up
as the top of the triangle is spiky. The right sine is a dead end, but
you can break through the ceiling (Look for four squares that are
bunched together) for an apple and an apple half. Go to the left and
fly up and do a rolling attack to collect all the gems and a banana.
Hop on the ball that's on the spikes. Then press left on the control
pad so you'll roll the ball to the right. Make sure to avoid the
spikes retracting from the ceiling. Then fly up and break through the
ceiling and fly up to the 1up in a bubble. Again, you can just grab it
or gamble for possible extra lives. Drop down and jump on the ball.
This one will move back and forth on it's own, so get around the
platforms and work to the other end of the room. Step on the
triangular platform, but be wary that it'll change angles very so
often. Near the end, charge your rockets and fly to the right to get
out of here or it'll push you into the spikes, killing you. The boss
is easy to reach from here.
Boss: Desert Worm
It'll fly around and breathe fire at you. You'll need to fly into his
head about 8 times to kill it. If you attack any part other than the
head too much, it'll break off and become another snake. But it's easy
to tell which on it is as the real one always has a brown head, while
the red indicates that they are fake. Destroying a fake head will
reform it onto the body. At times, it'll burrow underground and then
resurface to get a fix on you. This will be more of a slug fight than
anything else, so if you come will full health, you should get him
before he gets you.
Stage 6
Note: I'm only going to tell you the best routes to take here so you
can get through with as little trouble as possible.
Just keep going to the right collecting gems, and already, you'll meet
the mid boss. It's a wolf riding on a robotic elephant in the
background and will try to attack you by pounding the keys on the piano
and throwing explosive batons. Attack the head 6-7 times to kill it.
You'll then bounce along the drums. Use a rolling attack to kill the
caterpillar robots in one blow and collecting the gems.
After entering the teleporter, you'll need to choose from the top or
bottom horns to enter. I suggest the top route, as it's easier than
the bottom, IMO. Now, fly through the wolves coming out of trumpets as
fast as you can, then fly along the trumpets collecting gems. The
final part will have you navigating cymbal platforms. Getting smashed
won't kill you, only damage you. And if you fall into the trumpets,
you'll be sent back to the beginning to try this section again. Have
your rockets charged up, then jump along until you reach the fifth and
sixth cymbal and boost the rest of the way. Use a few rolling attacks
if need be and you'll reach the end quickly. Hop into the trumpet to
reach the teleporter, and remember to collect the apples and gems
before moving on.
Slide down the pole and you'll soon see a 6 trumpets. Enter the third
one to get transported to the drum room with those caterpillar robots.
Continue into the next horn, and you'll be in another area with wolves
coming out of horns. This room is so small you can fly through it
easily and not have to fight anyone. The last trumpet will spit you
out to the exit. Just collect the two apples and go into the
Boss: Axle Gear
He'll play his organ for a little while before the fight starts. He's
capable of doing everything Sparkster can, but his energy rings and
spinning attacks do a heart and a half of damage, while his drill
attack takes off two hearts. His slide kick only does a half of heart
of damage. The best way to deal with him is to hit and run. Fly into
him, then get away from him as soon as possible. Take note that the
room your in is tall, so you can fly and drop down the platforms to
avoid any damage. If he gets too close, fly away. If you can keep on
your toes, and attack from from diagonal angles, you'll be able to
defeat him.
Stage 7
To be honest, this is too straightforward for me to even give you a
walkthrough. I'll give you some pointers instead.
For starters, Y still swings your sword while B fires your twin vulcan
cannons. Pressing L or R will let Sparkster do barrel rolls, but aside
from altering your shots, it doesn't do anything. =/
The small turrets fires shots, the big ones fire either lasers or
The missiles are easy to destroy, but keep in mind that the wolves
riding missiles will try to bump into you.
The green robots always fires lasers, the red ones will either fire
lasers or bombs. The red ones that fires lasers will always be with
the green ones, while the red ones that fire bombs will be by
Midway through the level, some strange liquid will come out of the
ship. Try to avoid contact it with it, as will it will damage or
possibly even kill you.
The mid-boss is a joke. Just attack the main body with your sword.
Upon defeat, he'll drop a few apples.
Boss: Axle Gear Robot Battle
You and Axle Gear will now be battling in giant robots. Unlike in the
Genesis games, which were fought from the side view, this particular
one is fought from a top down view. For the robot fight controls, the
L and R buttons punch. Hold both of them to block. The Y Button fires
a shot from the mech, and you can hold and release to boost like you
would your rockets.
This battle is hard and extremely cheap. His robot takes more damage
than yours does, he has an annoying habit of boosting in front of you
and punching you, he constantly loves to spam a berserker attack where
he where he'll wildly punch back and forth, and he's unpredictable.
Winning against him requires more luck than skill in my opinion.
The key to winning is to try and make him block for as long as
possible. Try punching the air to keep him in blocking mode. If he
starts punching recklessly, Block and boost to the other side, sneaking
in a punch if you can (For instance, if you're moving to the left,
punch with you right fist, and vice versa). Don't rely on blocking too
much, or one of your arms will be knocked off, making this already hard
fight even harder. He'll block after punching recklessly at least
once. Then pin him into a corner and try to knock off one of his arms.
Keep punching even if you miss, or he'll resume attacking again. If
you can knock off one of his arms, it'll be a little more easier, as he
won't attack, and his reckless punching won't be as effective. If you
can keep him pinned after one of his arms goes off, you might have a
chance. Good Luck!
Stage 8
This stage is only playable on normal difficulty or above.
You'll begin inside a tunnel where missiles are launched every few
seconds. Kill the wolves and hide and duck in the alcoves in the
bottom, or you'll be smashed. You'll know you're entering the base
when the missiles stop firing. Fly up to the top and head to left to
get some gems and an apple. Continue across the missiles, and at the
bottom, you can head to the left under the first missile for some
bananas. Continue forward until you reach the mid-boss. The missile
will explode and you'll need to move back and forth to dodge the wolf
robot. But it's easy with a few slashes, though.
Afterwards, you'll come across wolves riding Stampy-dos, but they
easily go down in one hit. You should now be in a room with lots of
poles, with bugs crawling along them. I suggest flying up and down the
poles and into the bugs to easily kill them. After the first set of
poles, smash through the wall for more gems and a banana bunch.
Continue going along the poles and you'll soon work your way to the
core, which consists of 4 gems. You can get in a few early hits, but
soon a forcefield consisting of rings will surround it. The best way
to defeat it is to stand on the far right side of the screen and keep
jumping a slashing. Slowly but surely, you'll destroy the forcefield
rings, as well as the core.
Now head up and move to the left, and try to get through the reflectors
on the ground and ceiling, as well as the laser being fired. It is
possible to destroy them, but it's better to fly through and take as
little damage as possible. After getting past a couple of more laser
security systems, you'll fly up a shaft with wolves on jetpacks firing
missiles. Then head to the right, defeating the last set of wolves on
ostriches, and through the tunnel until you encounter the Big Boss.
Boss: Generalissimo Lioness
He's not as cheap and hard like the previous boss, but he's no
pushover. There's still some luck involved, though. His first attack
consists of breathing fire along the ground, which is easily avoided by
jumping. The second attack has him throwing a crescent-shaped
projectile and having it come back like a boomerang. Avoid it by
staying low. The last attack has him firing two energy balls in the
air, and then two lighting streams will close in on you. Stay
absolutely still so they won't hurt you. He'll also hop every so
often, too, since he walks pretty slow.
Start swinging your sword as fast as you can and forget doing anything
fancy. Never use your rockets unless he gets too close. Whether you
beat him or not will depend on how aggressive he's being during the
fight. If he rarely attacks you, you may have a chance. If he's being
aggressive, you'll have some problems, because is because he can string
several attacks at a time and if he does all three in at least one
sequence, you'll be forced to take damage. Keep your distance and keep
swinging that sword of yours and hopefully, he'll go down after about a
minute or two.
Now, if you beat the game on normal, you'll simply escape the base as
it explodes. If you're playing on hard or higher, you'll see him
firing a missile heading towards Elhorn before he dies. Sparkster will
move the princess into the escape pod while he goes after the missile,
which is the real final boss.
Stage 9
This is it. The real final boss. Go forward, killing the wolves until
you reach the core. You'll need to destroy the purple glass bulb to
destroy the missile. First, it'll send a overwhelming group of
fireballs your way. Stay in the corner and swing your sword until it
stops. The second attack will consist of the core firing a laser a
couple of times. It'll go back to the fire at first, then drop bombs in
a group several times. Then it goes back to firing the laser, then the
fire, then the bombs, in that order for the remainder of the fight.
Attack the core while a set of bombs drop and while the laser is
charging up. Once you get used to the pattern, you'll destroy it in no

Russia's ambassador to the U.S. talked about election campaign matters with Jeff Sessions during the 2016 presidential race, according to The Washington Post.
The Post reported Friday that Sergey Kislyak told his superiors in Moscow about two conversations with Sessions last year before the latter became attorney general.
U.S. spy agencies reportedly intercepted Kislyak's accounts of his discussions with Sessions, who was then a top foreign policy adviser to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Current and former U.S. officials told The Post that the communications contradict Sessions' public assertions about the meetings.
Sessions has repeatedly vowed he never talked about campaign-related topics with Russian officials, and that he only met Kislyak while serving as a GOP senator for Alabama.
Some Twitter users on Friday slammed The Post's report, questioning the validity of the newspaper's story.

U.S. intelligence agencies reportedly routinely monitor the communications of senior Russian officials like Kislyak in both America and Russia.
Kislyak's conversations reportedly mention one meeting in April before Trump's first major foreign policy speech.
The other talk purportedly happened in July on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention.
U.S. officials with regular access to Russian intelligence reports told The Post that Kislyak is known for accurately recounting his interactions with American officials.
The Post reported that Russian diplomats have been known to sometimes report false or misleading information to boost their personal standing or confuse U.S. intelligence agencies.
Sessions announced in March that he would recuse himself from the FBI probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential race.
"I never had any meetings with Russian operatives or Russian intermediaries about the Trump campaign," he said.
The FBI's investigation reportedly includes possible collusion between Russia and Trump's election campaign.
Now-President Trump has repeatedly called the probe a "witch hunt" against him and his administration officials.

Kentucky vs. Cornell: Basketball vs. Book smarts

Kentucky's DeMarcus Cousins had this to say in regards to going up against Cornell in the Sweet 16 tonight. "We're here to play basketball. It's not a spelling bee." I gotcha Demarcus because if it was a spelling bee I would definitely have Cornell bringing home the title in all my brackets. You cannot ignore the Ivy League dominance in academics, you'd be crazy stupid if you did. Three other games are on the docket tonight, all of which means we'll be down to the sweet 12 after tonight?

So far, after about 2 hours, it is 31% and the estimated time remaining says 5 hours. Is this normal. Also, would Final Cut Express 4 be faster? Is it, like, optimized for multicore? Is FCE 3.5 optimized for multicore? Would it be worth it to upgrade to FCE 4 on speed reasons alone? I don't need the AVCHD support and stuff. Thanks for all the help!
