As a very old culture steeped in tradition the basic art forms exist like music, dance and painting already very long in India. Often there is the sign which the first forms were even already known of the Indus culture. Traditional art forms have been influenced by the moved history of India, however, often either by other cultures, or even have been edged out. In some cases these forms of the art return in the present time again in the interest of the artists, so that traditional Indian values are called again in the memory.
As also in the European music, one distinguishes in India also the classical music, the folk music as well as the modern pop music. In the classical music one distinguishes the "Carnatic music" which exists already very long and shows a big variation wealth. The "Hindustane music" against it is marked very in Persian.
The Indian music distinguishes on the one hand that these are seldom bigger arrangements, but primarily solo artists who make music. There are not concerts in this sense; if several musicians make music, nevertheless, once together in a society play, these concerts are improvised almost throughout, because the artists keep to a certain system known in India in rules of making music. On the other hand the harmony of rhythm and melody impresses in the classical Indian music.
The folk music is coined, like in Europe, on the regional level differently and is shown. This becomes apparent in the different dialects, songs and texts as well as in some instruments. Folk music is sung primarily to traditional celebrations. The Indian pop music is the normal music played in the everyday life. However, also this can contain traditional elements. An Indian pop song are often music titles from the actual or also older films.

A Brief History: The Road to World War 3.
Must see video.
Georgia Guidestones
The Georgia Guidestones is a granite monument in Elbert County, Georgia, USA. A message clearly conveying a set of ten guidelines is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient languages' scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit and Egyptian hieroglyphs.
The structure is sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge."
A message consisting of a set of ten guidelines or principles is engraved on the Georgia Guidestones in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones. Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Russian.
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
10. Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.
Live by it.
Now this is a SWEET setup!!

layhun by day; sexing by night
winter child ⅼ semi-hiatus ⅼ sexing cult1993
please don't repost my gifs/graphics, thank you.
The smell of rain and public transport is the only thing that lingers in Sehun's nostrils. 11:45pm. The train has left. He's the only one standing still in the mass of rushing bodies, everyone pushing around to catch the last train to nowhere. The tips of his fingers are a little numb, it's just the cold, he thinks but he knows that he's lying to himself, because when he tries to unclench his fists, tries to pull out the nails that are digging half-moons in his palm off, he feels his heart tugging, warm liquid hurt, flooding around in his body. Hot, like Zitao's touches. No, Sehun shakes his head. Not like Zitao."It's okay to love me" Sehun had murmured against Zitao's lips, sounding almost desperate. He's standing too close, he's linking their hands too tight and Zitao's many rings are digging into his bony fingers, but he doesn't care he knows that it will all be over once he let's go. Zitao had chuckled, warm breath hitting Sehun's face mockingly. "Don't be silly now" He said before catching Sehun's lips for one last time. Softly, almost regrettably. They are cut off by the signaling sound for the last boarding. "Reality is calling." Zitao smiled, a loop-sided grin, close lipped with shining eyes, before untangling their hands and backing off.The picture of the last, somewhat cheesy, kiss Zitao blew at him through the train window before he left is burned into the back of Sehun's eyelids. Sehun will never admit to remember any of their little romance, but yet, the next weekend, and the next weekend again and again and again, he finds himself standing in the street corner where they first met because maybe - maybe - if he's lucky, Zitao will pass by him once again and Sehun will have another chance to prove himself right.To prove that they can create their own reality if they wanted to.

Perfect carpets at perfect prices served by a top man who could ask for more
mark lewis - 21/03/2014
Absolutely ridiculous. I order quite a lot from them and got messed about at every opportunity. I paid the full amount before fitting,They didn't come when they said they would and when they finally turned up they didn't have all the carpet for the rooms, we agreed they would come back the next week and never turned up after contacting them several time they finally agreed to come and finish up. When they arrived the flooring didn't fit the room even though they measured up, so they left the job to go and get the correct size, which didn't happen i ended up having the flooring fitting but it wasn't the one i paid for, Awful customer service wouldn't recommend to anyone!
Abbie louise - 11/04/2013

I took a call in The Bee newsroom several years ago from a woman who had a long list of complaints, one of which was that there was nothing but bad news in the newspaper.
That's simply not true, I told her. There is, to be sure, a steady diet of disaster and tragedy and sadness in the news. But hardly a day goes by, I said, that there are not stories about good people doing good things.
Just that day, there was a story on the main metro page about the Rev. Dan Madigan and his years of work with the Sacramento Food Bank.
The story quoted Madigan as calling on people to live their faith through compassion, love, respect and integrity.
My caller said she didn't care about that story. It was about a Catholic, and she said she wasn't interested in stories about Catholics.
"I'm a Christian," she said.
That response, disturbing in its stark bigotry, has been in my mind lately as I've thought about how we have allowed those on the religious right to co-opt the word "Christian" to justify or explain their intolerant behavior and especially their opposition to gay rights.
We saw it most recently in the decision by Southern Baptist and Assembly of God churches to eliminate their Boy Scout troops rather than allow gay youths to become members, as well as in their earlier criticism of allowing openly gay people in the military and their ongoing antipathy to gay marriage.
Just a few weeks ago, ESPN basketball analyst Chris Broussard invoked the "I'm a Christian" line to express his aversion to gay athletes in general and NBA basketball player Jason Collins in particular, shortly after Collins announced that he is gay.
As with my caller years ago and Broussard more recently, there is such arrogance in their declaration of Christianity, an implication that anyone not of like mind cannot be Christian and that their interpretation of Christianity is the only one that counts.
Unfortunately, all this adds up to the fact that Christianity has become virtually synonymous with right-wing politics and has been hijacked by the Republican Party. They cite ancient Scripture to defend their prejudices, even though those prejudices are at odds with the New Testament teachings of Jesus.
Andrew Sullivan, a politically conservative commentator and author who is openly gay and thus finds himself at odds with the religious right, suggested once in a Time magazine column that mainline Christians take back the word Christian and identify the religious right as "Christianists."
Christianity is simply faith, he wrote, but Christianists are an "ism" and represent an ideology and politics.
"The distinction between Christian and Christianist echoes the distinction we make between Muslim and Islamist," said Sullivan. "Muslims are those who follow Islam. Islamists are those who want to wield Islam as a political force and conflate state and mosque."
Those on the religious right have it all wrong when they attribute changing attitudes in contemporary culture to "left-wing political correctness," as Gary Bauer, president of a group calling itself American Values, argued in a recent USA Today column.
Bauer wrote that there is an institutional intolerance of traditional values. But he and his fellow conservatives want to reserve for themselves the right to define those values, which I see as narrow-minded, exclusionary and a distortion of the Christian ideals of equality, compassion and, yes, tolerance.
Right now, the focus of their obsession is the gay lifestyle, in which they seem to cling to a belief that all gays are predators and/or sex-crazed, which is ridiculous on its face, and in which they see gays and lesbians as a group, not as individuals.
The fact is that gay and lesbian persons, as with heterosexual persons, live many different lifestyles, and many are devout Christians, in the best sense of that word.
Fortunately, there are voices of reason and good sense in the religious community, and I found one in a recent interview by The Bee's Stephen Magagnini with the Rev. Kevin Ross of the Unity of Sacramento Church on Folsom Boulevard.
Ross said it is antithetical to his personal values and experiences to discriminate against another minority group and, for instance, considers the right of gays to marry a civil rights issue.
He described his church, which welcomes people of all faiths and sexual orientations, as one that follows the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "where we can live together as brothers, not suffer together as fools."

Technological Innovation: What Do the Schumpeterian Hypotheses Imply?
A large section of the industrial organization literature is devoted to the interpretation and empirical testing of the hypotheses advanced by Joseph Schumpeter concerning market structure and innovation. One set of hypotheses deals with the monopoly power of firms and its association with innovation, while the other set focusses on the relationship between firm size and innovation. Empirically these two sets of hypotheses may not be independent of each other, although extant empirical studies have concentrated on one in isolation of the other. In this dissertation we build a general framework where these two sets of hypotheses can be considered together in order that we can properly identify either effect -- that is, the effects of monopoly power and of firm size on innovation.
A major objective of our study is to combine two recent developments in the literature. First, it has been empirically demonstrated that proxies for appropriability and technological opportunity, when included in the regression, significantly diminish the explanatory power of concentration (a measure of monopoly power) on innovation and innovation-related activities, such as Research and Development (R&D) expenditures. In this dissertation, we construct several proxies for appropriability and technological opportunity, using new data an innovative activities of firms in Canada collected by the Economic Council of Canada.
Second, it has been recently argued that, except in the short run, both market structure and innovative activities ought to be treated as endogeneous, as opposed to the existing practice of assuming that the market structure is given. Our theoretical framework allows both innovative activity and firm size (a measure of market structure) to be determined by appropriability; technological opportunity and various non-innovative factors such as demand conditions, foreign versus domestic ownership of firms, etc.
It is commonly observed that firms sometimes choose not to hire any R&D personnel, namely, scientists and engineers, and instead entrust the responsibilities of R&D either with a consulting firm or even with its own operating personnel. These decisions result in observations with 'zero' values for R&D personnel in the sample. In this dissertation, we provide an economic underpinning for such decisions by firms, and recognize this 'limited-dependent variable' problem in our estimation through use of the Tobit estimation method.
Finally, as a by-product of our theoretical framework we examine some of the common empirical measures which have been used to test the Schumpeterian hypotheses. One of our major findings in this regard is that many of the existing empirical tests of the hypothesis that there is a positive externality from firm size to innovative activities of firms are misspecified in the sense that they are neither necessary nor sufficient for the existence of the above externality.

Encyclopedia Dubuque
On March 1, 1864, Dennis MAHONY, Hutchins and Hodnett left the Herald permanently.
I need not say with what mingled feelings of pleasure and pain I make the announcements-pleasure that I am no longer obliged to fight a profitless battle, pain that I thus become virtually separated from so many brave, consistent, self-sacrificing Democrats. (Mr. Hutchins) (1)
We do not enter upon the undertaking without some reluctance and a full appreciation of the duties, difficulties and responsibilities which the position involves. We shall endeavor to make the Herald thoroughly Democratic in its principles and usages, dignified in its tone, candid in its opinions, reliable in its statements and particularly valuable for its news, always seeking the harmony and welfare of the party and the preservation of our free republican institutions. (Patrick Robb, F. M. Ziebach and Moses M. HAM (2)
Under the new editors the Herald was mild and agreeable to what it had been. (3)
As the Dubuque Herald, the paper was published until October 1901 when it was merged with the DUBUQUE TELEGRAPH.
The 1859-1860 Dubuque City Directory listed the corner of Main and 5th for this newspaper published by J. B. Door and Company.
The 1878-79 Dubuque City Directory listed 6th and Locust.
The 1899-1900 Dubuque City Directory listed 120 6th for this daily and weekly publication.

Movie News
A Most Triumphant Motion Pixels -- Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure for Game Boy!!
Game/Movie: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
System: Nintendo Game Boy (via Super Game Boy)
Developer: LJN
Year of Release: 1991
All Praise to the Super Game Boy
I had, up to this point, avoided any and all movie-licensed games on the Nintendo Game Boy. This had absolutely nothing to do with any kind of personal aversion to the system. As a kid, the Game Boy proved invaluable to me during the seemingly endless road trips our family would take each summer. The reason for my reluctance to cover movie games on the Game Boy was rooted in a screen-shot-related conundrum. My current procedure for obtaining screen shots involves running whatever system I'm using through a DVD recorder and grabbing frames from the subsequent DVD. I was convinced that if I covered a Game Boy title, I would have to use stills from the internet and therefore have no specific images for the references I make.
It was then that a buddy of mine reminded me of a handy little relic known as the Super Game Boy. My memory primed, I came upon vague recollections of this device, but as I never owned one myself it wasn't at the forefront of my mind. I'm sure none of you need any sort of explanation, but essentially the Super Game Boy fits into the Super Nintendo like a regular SNES cartridge with a smaller port on top to house the svelte Game Boy cartridges; thus allowing the miniscule visual limitations of the Game Boy to be massively blown the hell up to the size of your living room TV. One quick trip to Game Over Videogames, Austin's premier purveyor of classic games of all eras for all systems and an absolute God-send for lovers of archaic consoles, and we secured ourselves this magical object.
One of the best parts of the Super Game Boy, in addition to allowing me to see 8-bit Ted "Theodore" Logan in staggering inch-tall glory, was it's ability to retrofit the Game Boy games with color. Whereas the Game Boy screen really only offered one color in various shades, games projected via Super Game Boy offer a slightly more diverse color palette. Oh yes, we were now in business.
Graphics and Mechanics
So many of the movie games we've explored thus far have been standard platformers with some manner of boss or bosses who must be bested in order to advance within/win the game. With the exception of Alien on Atari, which is a mere patchwork of other games with no conceivable measure of finality, each of the games covered thus far have fallen under this classic banner.
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is of a different breed. It is more or less a puzzle-solving game that requires the player to collect artifacts from various corners of the screen to reveal the location of a flashing phone booth that serves as the gateway to the next level where the task is repeated. So technically you are still graduating up the numerical organization of levels, but the method by which you beat the last level of the game is the same as the method used to beat the first. This game has garnered comparisons to Manic Miner, which was released for, among others, the Commodore 64. But that comparison is primarily based on the flimsy coincidence that they are almost entirely the same game.
Mechanically, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is a little clumsy. Neither Bill nor Ted seemed destined for fruitful careers as Olympic long-jumpers as they bound from ledge to ledge apparently hampered by tiny, invisible cinderblocks attached to their heels. This proves especially non-triumphant in levels that offer frighteningly narrow footholds...
...and therefore demand jumping accuracy and range. There is also the annoying tendency for the characters to immediately ascend any climbing element they approach regardless of whether the player pressed up on the directional pad. Precise timing is so pivotal for succeeding in this game and nothing hinders the pursuit of that precise timing like your character dashing up a vine when you needed to run in front of it before an enemy changed course and headed back your direction. It was maddening, but I wonder how much of that was part and parcel with playing a Game Boy game using a Super Nintendo controller. Sure, the button layouts aren't monumentally different, but I am willing to lend the game a little benefit of the doubt.
The graphics at work in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure are adequately designed but admittedly quite simple. The landmarks and structural aspects of each level are largely stationary with the occasional moving or disappearing beam. The movements of the enemies is largely confined to a back-and-forth pacing with the infrequent object-tossing or flying baddie thrown into the mix to keep it fresh. The backgrounds change from world to world, which this game designates as "adventures" with sublevels categorized as "quests," but remain completely divorced from the action of the foreground to the point that they appear as a bizarre form of wallpaper. The character sprites are not overwhelmingly detailed and even certain well-known historical figures making appearances in the game would be impossible to identify if the gamer had no foreknowledge of the film.
But what I really enjoy about Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure on Game Boy is the music. The high-energy mono orchestration of the main theme seemed as if it could have been written by the Wyld Stallyns themselves. It turns out my fondness for this 8-bit theme was most advantageous to my mental stability as it is played on loop through every single level. So while the theme itself is quite radical, the lack of variety in the music did border on the bogus.
Playing Before Instructions
The basic premise of this game, the demand it makes of the gamer, starts off painfully self-evident. The completion of the first level sets a fairly explicit precedent. But as the game progresses, as is to be expected, the task of obtaining all the time particles necessary to advance becomes exponentially more complicated. Suddenly it isn't enough to merely collect them as you see them as structural elements of the level can be altered or removed by the acquisition of a given particle.
So now you have to deduce the exact order in which they must be obtained as well. And then, just to throw further flies into the ointment, Super-Mario-esque question mark boxes appear harboring level-specific tools that must be used at just that right moment to ensure victory. By the end, a goodly amount of trial-and-error is necessary to ascertain the correct course to follow to complete each level. Luckily, the Bill & Ted Game Boy game defaults to eight lives, three continues, and employs a rather clever password system that prevents the detrimental loss of all forward progress. This proves vital to the gamer's sanity as there are ten adventures each boasting five quests for a grand total of fifty levels. Whoa!
Mission Accomplished?
Thanks to this very generous cache of second chances, and by tag-teaming this leviathan of a game with my good friend Luke, Bill & Ted did in fact get to complete their most excellent adventure. It took roughly three days of extended sessions and a great deal of cursing which ended up settling upon the living room like a black cloud of failure, but damn it we were victorious. I have since discovered that gathering all the time particles only to be killed by Abraham Lincoln as you make your way to the time-traveling telephone booth...
...that is your exit portal is officially the single greatest risk factor for aneurisms on the planet.
Faithful to its Source?
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is quite extraordinary in this regard. On the one hand, it does follow the film very closely. In fact the first four levels of temporal locales follows an identical progression of the movie's plot; going from Austria in 1805 wherein they first encounter Napoleon to 1870s New Mexico, to ancient Greece, and then to 15th Century England...
...wherein they lock eyes on the princess babes. The fifth and sixth levels take place at one million B.C. and the San Dimas shopping mall respectively which were both also featured in the first film. The enemies occupying the various levels are the long-dead historical figures who also star in the movie: Lincoln, Napoleon, Joan of Arc...
...Billy the Kid, Alex Winter's career, etc.
The game features interludes in which the faces of animated versions of Bill and Ted flash onto the screen to bat surfer lingo back and forth to one another before commencing the next adventure. I also enjoyed that hitting the pause button caused an 8-bit rendition of Bill & Ted's seminal air guitar riff to sound. There is also that clever password function I mentioned that is probably the game's single greatest adherence to the film. When you move on to a new world (adventure) you are given the phone number for that time period which then serves as your password. Should you exhaust your continues, you may enter this number into the Circuits of Time Directory...
...and be transported to that era. Seriously, throw in one George Carlin desperate to make just one dirty joke and you've got yourself the movie! So again, in many ways it's very faithful to the film in a pretty traditional sense. But then, it goes a bit rogue.
When I purchased this title from Game Over, it did not contain the original box and I took but a cursory glance at the label before determining that my life would be infinitely improved by its purchase. It wasn't until I had been playing it for a while that two previously discarded facets of the game came to light. There is a level called Paradise...
...and a level called The Abyss, the former featuring malevolent angels careening through the air hell-bent on taking your destruction and the latter being actual hell...
...and the opening exposition moments mentioned a character named De Nomolos.
That's right, the Bill & Ted Game Boy game is actually a hybrid of Excellent Adventure and its much-maligned sequel Bogus Journey. This explains why the guys venture to heaven and hell, why death is a roving enemy from time to time, and why at one point a demonic Easter Bunny shows up to chuck eggs at you. Despite it's titular favoring of the first film, upon closer examination of the tiny cartridge, this crossover was indeed no accident. Under the words Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
is a separate text box adding…A Bogus Journey. This is accompanied by awkwardly shoehorned bubbles containing scenes from the sequel besmirching the poster art for the first film that comprises the games' cover.
It seems the only way that God-awful second film would ever realize videogame adaptation, and thus immortality, was to piggyback onto the game of its genius-by-comparison predecessor. The one thing I do enjoy about this covert doubling-up of titles is that it provides something necessary for any videogame that is completely absent in the first film: a villain. Without the inclusion of De Nomolos, we'd be left only to contend with Bill & Ted's greatest threat from the first film: Bill & Ted.
Final Thoughts
Despite its divergence from the standard platformer format and the twisted, rage- engendering complexity of some of its later levels...
...Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure for Game Boy lives up to its presumptuous name. This game is a boatload of fun and the replay value is unreal. It got me thinking about other films that could benefit from this non-traditional, puzzle-based design for their inevitable videogame adaptations. Who wouldn't want to play the Memento Memory game? Or how about Rain Man's Counting Quest? Or why not truly test your mental acumen with the A Beautiful Mind Sudoku Challenge?

I remember many cartoon spinoffs of popular 80s films from the periphery of my youth; Teen Wolf, Back to the Future, Beetlejuice. None of these shows lasted very long due in large part to their insurance that the film's welcome would be thoroughly worn out with small children within nanoseconds. I will tip my most outstanding figurative hat to Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures for two reasons. First, counter to the vast majority of cartoon series based on 80s films, they managed to snag both Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter to voice their respective characters for an entire season; thirteen of the show's twenty-one episodes.
After that heinous Day the Earth Stood Still remake, I'm betting they could get Keanu to reteam with Alex to do a reunion cartoon if they wanted. And I'm sorry, it's cheesy as all hell, but I can't help but love that unfortunate theme song. I wouldn't recommend watching it in its entirety, but Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures is available on streaming Netflix. Party on, dudes!

'god-awful second film' ????
by zom-bot.com
you are going to catch a lot of hell on that statement here. personally, i liked the second one fine until Station shows up. then it spirals downward. ...but talkbackers here surprisingly revere Bogus Journey- and i will back up that it may have the best concept of Hell yet on film.

Ah, 80s movie tie-ins
by Keith
"Let's put the characters in a platform game whose levels resemble some scenes in the movie!" The formula for almost all tie-ins at the time. Either that or a platform shooter (like Robocop and The Terminator). Of course, the Nintendo and Sega consoles were particularly bad for this, because they were so puny technically. I've always found it slightly strange that the Americans were all buying crappo Japanese consoles in the 80s while the Europeans were buying the terrific American home computers (the Amiga and the ST).
June 20, 2011, 1:13 p.m. CST
Yeah, I was gonna mention emulators as well.
by Royston Lodge
Is there a reason you're only reviewing games that you have the actual, physical cartridge for? With emulators and the magic of bittorrent, you could review every single movie-license game ever made, going all the way back to Superman for the Atari 2600.

by zom-bot.com
i don't feel RIP is appropriate for someone dumb enough to drink and do 110 in a 35 zone. the saddest thing is is he probably died faster/more instantly and less painfully than most of us can ever hope to in this life. not that he should have suffered, i'm just saying, life isn't fair.

I fucking love this game
by photoboy
I really hope it makes an appearance on the 3DS e-shop. I replayed it last year on a GB emulator for the DS and it was still great fun. There are a few infuriating levels but overall they're all so short the game can be finished fully in just a few hours. The 10th screenshot above is from one of the more tricky levels, because as soon as you pick up those first three power-ups the entire level goes invisible and you have to rely on memory to navigate your way around! If you loved Donkey Kong '94 on the GameBoy, you'll also really enjoy this. What is with the Bogus Journey hate though? I always thought it was just as good as the original.

I like these posts...
by Nigel_Coolbeard
...but the writing is kinda dry. "The basic premise of this game, the demand it makes of the gamer, starts off painfully self-evident." This is a post about a GameBoy version of Bill and Ted, right? It's ok to loosen up a bit.

Technically, Superman for the 2600 wasn't a MOVIE tie-in.

It was really a comic book tie-in. Close enough, sez me. Regardless, it IS the earliest game based on a licensed property.

...Pélé's Soccer (1980), strangely enough. There wasn't another game based on a licensed property until 1982, at which point the idea took off completely. The following were all released in 1982: - E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial - Raiders of the Lost Ark - Adventures of TRON - Alien - Journey Escape - M*A*S*H - NFL Football - Smurf - Rescue from Gargamel's Castle - Empire Strikes Back - TRON Deadly Disc

TRON Deadly Disc on Intellivision occupied both my own and my father's spare time for what seemed like years. Yes, my 33 year old Dad was playing video games with me in the early 80's. Actually, he hogged the game now that I think about it. It was supposed to be our game Dad! It's my turn to play Donkey Kong Dad! AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH...... good times. And at 13, I would have whooped all your asses at TRON Deadly Disc.

The sequel was a bit of a downer.
by Harlock999
My brother and I both grew up in the 80s, and LOVE Excellent Adventure and merely "like" Bogus Journey. The friend I saw Bogus Journey with back in the day hated it. And random conversation at the bar last week revealed a LOT of folks believing the 2nd B&T film to be much weaker than the original (which everyone then started quoting all night long). So yeah, there you go.
June 20, 2011, 4:56 p.m. CST
I hated B&T BOGUS JOURNEY as well
by I am not a number
Haven't seen it in years, but the whole meeting death thing didn't jibe with me at all. I loved EXCELLENT ADVENTURE - I still remember seeing it in theatre back in the 80s. I never got the love for the second one either.

by Ruester
It would make the screen shots about 100 times easier and LEGALLY you are allowed to have any ROM of ANY game for a period of 24-hours before you are required (legally) to delete it.

Youh heff SAHNK MAH BATTLE-SHEEP!
by Nasty In The Pasty
Bogus Journey has William Sadler, and that automatically makes it the equal of the first film (and funnier in many respects...it's certainly a LOT more clever and elaborate). As for the Bill & Ted cartoon, they included an episode of it in that Bill & Ted DVD boxed set from about five or six years back, and it's fucking TERRIBLE. Props that they got Keanu and Alex back (and even George Carlin...!), but, like all movie-based cartoon shows of the 80's and 90's, it was lousy. Bad animation, lame jokes...it kind if pisses me off that all of the GOOD television cartoons didn't come along until my late teens and beyond (Batman: TAS leading the way in '92). I would have KILLED to see a show as great as Justice League or Avatar: The Last Airbender when I was twelve. Instead, I was stuck with garbage like Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling and Captain N: The Game Master.

I played the heck out of this game
by MiserableRainGod
When I was a kid I played the heck out of this game. It was quite difficult in later levels, and the music (the ONE song) was terrible. Or, it became terrible after dozens of playthroughs. It's been 20 years at least, and I can still hear it, if I try. The full title of the game was Bill & Ted's Excellent Game Boy Adventure: A Bogus Journey.
June 23, 2011, 10:55 a.m. CST
Superman was not really the first tie-in game...
by MST3KPIMP
assuming your refering to Superman 3.. the sequences shown there were not a playable game but rather graphics created by atari to simulate a game being played. It was state of the art at the time and there was no game released on any platform as it was just an fx shot. I wish someone would create a playable version of this sequence as it probaly would be easy now.

Category Archives: The Puritan Study
Biography of Thomas Manton (1620-1677)
For the next several days this blog we will be devoted to exploring the life and work of the prolific Puritan Thomas Manton. I will be posting detailed photographs and a review of the Complete Works of Thomas Manton and we will be talking with a man who is preparing to begin work on what appears to be the very first PhD on Manton.
To celebrate this series, our friends at Reformation Heritage Books are offering this special offer: Purchase the Complete Works of Thomas Manton (which they sell for one of the most reasonable prices on-line—$320.00) and they will include a free copy of our 2006 book of the year, Meet the Puritans by Dr. Joel Beeke (minus the dusk jacket). Offer is good only while supplies last.
But before we jump into a review of the set, it's appropriate for those not familiar with Manton to read the following biography taken directly from the pages of Meet the Puritans:
Thomas Manton [1620-1677] was baptized on March 31, 1620 at Lydeard St. Lawrence, Somerset, where his father, Thomas Manton, was probably curate. The young Thomas was educated at the free school in Tiverton, Devon, then, at the age of sixteen, went to study at Wadham College, Oxford. He graduated from Oxford with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1639, a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1654, and a Doctorate of Divinity degree in 1660.
Manton was ordained in 1640 to the diaconate at age twenty by Joseph Hall, and served for three years as lecturer at the parish church of Sowton, near Exeter, Devonshire, where he married Mary Morgan of Sidbury, Devonshire, in 1643. Through the patronage of Colonel Popham, he obtained the living of St. Mary's, Stoke Newington, London, where his pastorate became a model of consistent, rigorous Calvinism. He soon became a leading Presbyterian in London, and used his influence to encourage ministers to establish Presbyterian church government and to promote public tranquility in troubled times. He was appointed one of three clerks at the Westminster Assembly and preached many times before Parliament during the Commonwealth.
Once, after Manton chose a difficult text to preach before the Lord Mayor, a needy believer rebuked him, complaining that he came for spiritual food but had been disappointed. Manton replied, "Friend, if I did not give you a sermon, you have given me one; and by the grace of God, I will never play the fool to preach before my Lord Mayor in such a manner again" (Hulse, Who are the Puritans?, p. 93).
Manton provided spiritual counsel to Christopher Love prior to his execution for insurrection in 1652, and was with Love when he was beheaded. Despite threats of being shot by soldiers from the army who were present that evening, Manton preached a funeral message to a large midnight audience at Love's parish of St. Lawrence Jewry.
Despite his strong disapproval of the king's execution, Manton retained the favor of Cromwell and his Parliament. In the mid 1650s, he served several important commissions, including being a commissioner for the approbation of public preachers, or "triers." He served with Edmund Calamy, Stephen Marshall, and other Presbyterians in holding talks of accommodation with Congregationalists such as Joseph Caryl and Sidrach Simpson. He served on a committee to help resolve the division in the Church of Scotland between the Resolutioners and the Remonstranters. Then, too, he served on a committee with Thomas Goodwin, John Owen, Henry Jessey, and Richard Baxter for composing articles on the "fundamentals of religion" essential for subscription to the protectorate church.
In 1656, Manton was chosen as lecturer at Westminster Abbey and became rector of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, London as Obadiah Sedgwick's successor. Manton desired to establish Presbyterian discipline at St. Paul's, but was prevented from doing so by his assistant, Abraham Pinchbecke, and his parishioners. He accepted this graciously, and was ever the gentleman, showing charity to all, including ministers of other persuasions.
When Oliver Cromwell was offered the crown by Parliament in 1657, Manton was chosen, together with John Owen, Joseph Caryl, Philip Nye, and George Gillespie, to pray with the Lord Protector for divine guidance. After Cromwell finally refused the crown, Manton delivered the public blessing at the inauguration of the second protectorate Parliament (Oxford DNB, 36:366).
After the failure of Richard Cromwell's protectorate, Manton favored the Restoration of Charles II. He accompanied Charles at Breda and swore an oath of loyalty to the King. Manton was appointed one of twelve chaplains to King Charles II, though he never performed the duties or received the benefits of this office. All the while, Manton remained firmly Presbyterian in his convictions, and warned against the restoration of episcopacy and the Anglican liturgy.
After Manton was ejected from the Church of England pulpits for Nonconformity in 1662, he preached at his house in King Street, Covent Garden, and other private places. Attendance kept increasing until he was arrested in 1670 and imprisoned for six months. When the Declaration of Indulgence was granted in 1672, Manton was licensed as a Presbyterian at his home in Covent Gardne. He also became lecturer for London merchants in Pinner's Hall and preacher at the revival of the Presbyterian morning exercises.
When the King's indulgence was annulled in 1675, Manton's congregation was torn apart. He continued to preach to his aristocratic followers at Covent Garden, however, until his death in 1677. William Bates preached at Manton's funeral.
Manton was remembered at his funeral as "the king of preachers." Bates said that he never heard him deliver a poor sermon and commended his ability to "represent the inseparable connection between Christian duties and privileges." Archbishop James Ussher described Manton as "a voluminous preacher" and "one of the best in England." That is certainly evident from Manton's many writings, most of which are sermons. … Manton's sermons fill twenty of his twenty-two volumes. They are the legacy of a preacher devoted to the systematic teaching and application of God's Word. Manton presents us with the best that English Puritans had to offer in careful, solid, warmhearted exposition of the Scriptures.

Electronic book searches for sermon preparation
Today's post is for communicators who know the clarity a John Owen quote brings to a complex biblical topic or the punch a C.H. Spurgeon quote adds to application points. My goal today is to encourage evangelists, authors, bloggers, preachers in their work of reaching lost souls and edifying redeemed souls.
I will address various related questions: Are electronic books and printed books friends or enemies? How can I find the best electronic books? How do I search those works effectively? How do I find quotes on my topic? How do I best handle the quote in hand?
I regularly express my appreciation for paper books AND electronic books when it comes to sermon preparation. A useful library balances both. Electronic books provide a technological enhancement to printed books. Sometimes I want to search the Works of John Owen in a jiff (electronic), and sometimes I want to chain off several weeks to ice pick my way through an entire volume (printed). The electronic text enhances the printed copies by making them easier to navigate, but reading the full text of Communion with God on a computer screen would surely lead to a hyper-extended retina.

The Puritan Study (Part 11) Concluding Thoughts, part 2
Part 11: Concluding Thoughts, part 2
Finally, the conclusion of the Puritan Study comes today. I wish I could continue on in this study but I must move on. Thank you for all the very kind emails and helpful suggestions throughout this series. Seeing others come to a deeper appreciation of the Puritan literature has been an incredible encouragement to me.
Here is a collection of final thoughts …
Expositional Puritans
I think it's worth noting again that in this series of blog posts I have emphasized the most important Puritan resources for expositional research. Other Puritans are useful on a number of issues.
I like Baxter, Burgess, Watson and other Puritans. But these and other Puritans simply have not helped me when I'm under pressure to preach and write expositionally on a certain text. Spurgeon, Bunyan, Owen, Boston, Manton and the men I have promoted, however, have proven faithful in these situations.
If you are more interested in systematic theology, or apologetics, or church history, you will find other Puritans to be of great help. Here, we were concerned with the most effective Puritans for expositional sermon preparation and ranked these authors in order of availability and usefulness.
Dutch 'Puritans'
I was hoping to use this series to begin introducing you to the Dutch 'Puritans' (they are not really called 'Puritans,' but 'the Dutch Second Reformation Divines'). These authors ministered during the same period of time as the English Puritans we know well, but their works were originally published in Dutch. Thanks to the recent work of the Dutch Reformed Translation Society, these works are now being made available in updated English. After some time reading these Dutch works, it's clear these authors were as mature and experiential as their English counterparts.
Among others, the Dutch 'Puritans' include Wilhelmus à Brakel, Willem Teellinck and Herman Witsius (whose works have been in English for a few years now). Teellinck's book on living a holy life (The Path of True Godliness) is very valuable and will be the subject of an upcoming book review.
These Dutch authors are very powerful and, although many of them will not be indexed and easily accessed, an introduction to their works was warranted at the end of this Puritan study. More information this winter …
Tough and Tender
John Piper once said, "one of my great desires is to see Christian pastors be as strong and durable as redwood trees, and as tender and fragrant as a field of clover." This ideal finds its origin in the words and works of Jesus Himself. He knew when to be tough and when to be tender. He was strong and resolute but loving, kind, and compassionate, too. Many Puritans remind me of men who were uncompromising and stable in their convictions. They were a forest of redwood trees. But these preachers often displayed a compassionate tenderness like a fragrant field of clovers, too. An excellent pattern for preachers today.
The Presence of God
Many things draw me to the Puritans, but one of the most important is their pursuit of God. They see the Psalms as a blueprint for the Christian life – striving and praying for the presence of God to draw near (see Pss. 16, 42, 73). You can spot authors who read much of the Puritans because they, too, have a healthy and well-developed desire to pursue the presence of God (see A.W. Tozer, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, John Piper, etc.).
Personal change
I did not realize what was happening, but for several years as I have used the Puritan literature, I thought I was just borrowing a few quotes and thoughts along the way. Now it is obvious that over those years I was being changed.
What I love most about the Puritans is how they have been used in changing me. I treat the Word with more sobriety and seriousness now. My application of the text is much more mature. I am more articulate in pointing my hearer's affections towards the things God sees as precious (like His Son, His holiness, His justice, love and grace).
Specifically, three areas of my life have been changed due to my Puritan Study …
(i) In catching the Puritan hermeneutic. The Puritans interpret every passage in light of the big picture of God's glory in the Cross of Christ. Everything comes back to this. As expositors we are apt to get wrapped up in our four verses and lazily forget this big picture. The Puritans, especially in their application, make it clear that every text must be brought back to this big picture. Sadly, very few expositors today do this consistently (Piper and a few others, however, excel here). I pray that we would all catch this Puritan hermeneutic. Spurgeon reminded preachers that every sermon must find a way back to the Cross. This was the Apostle Paul's point exactly (Gal. 6:14, 1 Cor. 1:22-25; 2:2; Phil. 3:8).
(ii) In catching the Puritan experiential style. When publishers want a good definition of 'experiential preaching' they turn to Puritan scholars. In the book, Feed My Sheep: A Passionate Plea for Preaching (Soli Deo Gloria, 1573581445), Dr. Joel Beeke writes: "Experiential or experimental preaching addresses the vital matter of how a Christian experiences the truth of Christian doctrine in his life … Experimental preaching seeks to explain in terms of biblical truth how matters ought to go, how they do go, and what is the goal of the Christian life … Experimental preaching is discriminatory preaching. It clearly defines the difference between a Christian and a non-Christian, opening the kingdom of heaven to one and shutting it against the other" (pp. 95-96). The Puritans understood that a sermon lacking powerful application is an incomplete sermon. The Puritans are unparalleled here.
(iii) In catching the Puritan earnestness. The Christian life is a struggle of balance. The same is true in the pulpit. It is easy to focus on strengthening marriages, helping others raise children, and overall improvements in godliness while lacking earnestness. We can get the idea that the purpose of the pulpit is only for long-term sanctified changes. We need the Puritan earnestness to remind those who have never experienced the grace of God in their own hearts (the 'almost Christian' sitting in the pew), that they teeter on the brink of God's judgment. There may not be a tomorrow. Each of us will be in heaven or hell very shortly. Nothing guarantees the sinner one more day to repent. Now is the time. Today is the day of salvation. Plead with sinners. The Puritans balanced these two sides of preaching and teach us to use the same sermon to both strengthen Christian marriages (long term) and to plead with sinners earnestly (now).
In the end, the ultimate benefit of a (well-used) Puritan library is how it changes you. Because of the Puritans, I view the bible differently, more seriously. They have taught me deep thoughts so I am not easily distracted with the empty and hollow 'Christian' thoughts today. They have taught me to treasure Christ. They have pointed out the sin in my heart. They have encouraged me in the task of preaching. And they have been faithful friends pointing me back to the scriptures when I begin to wander around. 'Be serious because God's thoughts are weighty,' is the Puritan message I hear every time I use their works.
So keep at it. Work hard. Study diligently. Learn new terms. Don't be intimidated by 200-word sentences. Grasp the concepts. Learn from the Puritan big-picture. And one day you will realize that God's Spirit has taken the Puritan Study from your shelves and into your heart and changed you forever. All for His eternal glory.
Soli Deo Gloria!
The Puritan Study (Part 10) Concluding Thoughts, part 1
Part 10: Concluding Thoughts, part 1
Now on to some concluding thoughts.
… to the electronic publishers
I want to take a moment and say, 'thank you,' to the many individuals that are working together to produce electronic versions of the Puritan works. Throughout this study I have met several of you. What you are doing is a wonderful service!
From all of us who think "THml" is a new seminary degree — we don't know exactly what you do or how you do it, but we are thankful you do it. Keep it up!
One of these techies, Thomas Black at stilltruth.com, sent us links to the works of John Owen and Jonathan Edwards. These files work with Logos/Libronix digital Library and are searchable (a Mac version is yet to be released). The Logos/Libronix system is a great and growing resource for searchable Puritan works and many of these resources (like Owen and Edwards) are free because of the generous work of Black and others.
For more information you can check out our friends at StillTruth. They have a large selection of other free resources, too.
For those who are interested in publishing the Puritans in this form, let me encourage you with a few content suggestions.
The most important Puritan works in print that await OCR conversion, editing and tagging into THml include the works of Thomas Boston, Thomas Manton, John Flavel, Richard Sibbes, Thomas Brooks, and Thomas Goodwin. You will serve the church well if your efforts are directed towards these much-needed authors.
… to the print publishers
To my friends who work diligently to republish the Puritans in print format: There are a number of excellent Puritan resources that I cannot recommend because they are unavailable. About half of the Puritan works I would recommend as 'excellent' are not even in print format. The church would greatly benefit from the complete works of Stephen Charnock (beyond Existence), William Ames, William Bates, Anthony Burgess, James Durham, William Perkins and Samuel Rutherford (beyond Letters). Maybe the programmers and publishers could work more closely together in re-typesetting these works and simultaneously release the print and THml versions of the works at the same time? At the very least, these Puritans also need to be converted into searchable text formats.
If Puritan publishers and scholars (who favor printed volumes) and the techies who are converting the Puritans into free electronic files would open up in communication, both sides would benefit greatly. Could the two sides meet in a forum to exchange ideas?
On another note, some of the Puritan complete works sets are now being published in paperback form. Is there a way to continue cutting the cost of production? I would love to have every Puritan published in clothbound covers but maybe some these other works (named above) could be more economically printed. Even printed on-demand, maybe? How can technology help publishers cut costs and print more?
… on Puritan PDFs
I want to make one other note about why I recommend people NOT buy Puritan CD-Roms and DVDs (except in rare cases). Most of these files (like the works of Thomas Manton) are simple picture files of the pages. They are usually not text-recognized or searchable and almost never tagged into THml format. These files are both inferior to printed books and inferior to text files. They are a sort of in-between compromise that are not easy to read nor easy to search. This is why they are fading in importance. Focus now on accumulating the print volumes and, in time, the electronic text files as they become more readily available.
… on the value of e-Puritans
In 2003 the World Wide Web contained 170 terabytes of information. That's 170 million megabytes or more than 200,000 CD-Roms filled with information. In comparison, the entire Library of Congress print collection is only about 10 terabytes in size. To look at it another way, the complete works of Shakespeare comprise only 5 megabytes. So the entire content of the WWW in 2003 (not including text messaging, emails and P2P file sharing) was the size of the complete works of Shakespeare multiplied 34 million times!
The natural consequence of these vast numbers is the devaluing of information. We now look at words as cheap and common.
The danger here is that we begin looking at the men who most faithfully expounded the Word of God as likewise having words that are cheap and common. They are not.
Many of the words of Bunyan were written in a solitary prison cell separated from his family. The words of Spurgeon were forged in years of faithful prayer and amidst painful debates and trials. Men like Sibbes and Calvin ministered during political upheaval and turmoil. The most powerful preachers in Christian history were purified in the fires of struggle and pain. Their words (unlike dozens of terabytes available on the Internet) are precious gold.
Publishers who release the Puritans in beautiful clothbound covers should continue this practice. And pastors need to continue to support publishers that treat the Puritan works with such respect. Publishers like The Banner of Truth, Tentmaker and Soli Deo Gloria remind us of the value of Puritan words.
As the Internet continues to grow by the terabyte and the electronic texts of great Puritans become more plentiful, we must beware this cheapening of Puritan words. We must always remind ourselves that these words were slowly and carefully sculpted in pain, out of a fear of God, through an intense study of His Word, and from a love of His glory.
(to be continued…)
Next time … Part 11: Concluding Thoughts, part 2
The Puritan Study (Part 3) The People of a Puritan Library
Part 3: The People of a Puritan Library
So far we've talked vaguely about some group of people named 'The Puritans.' Today we name names.
Like I said, this list does not include Puritan commentaries. You should consider getting Matthew Henry's commentary on the bible. It is very useful and mature in its biblical application. And of course (Reformer) John Calvin's commentaries are likewise valuable. Both are available in print for a reasonable price and online for free.
The list
I have used the following 14 Puritans in a number of situations but mostly in expositions. These men are faithful and trustworthy friends. I have been pushed deeper into scripture as these men faithfully expound and apply the bible. Many of their sermon illustrations have been reworded for my hearers. I have shared hundreds of quaint and beautiful quotations from these men. And I have personally been fed and refreshed as each of these men exalt in the glory of Jesus Christ, teach me to conquer (mortify) sin, and steer my affections away from the temporary and towards the eternal.
The Shepherd's Scrapbook is proud to offer this list of Puritans (ordered by each author's usefulness and availability. See pictures of these sets). …
1. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (63 sermon vols.; CD-Rom). Not a Puritan (obviously) but he is the great synthesizer of the best of the Puritan literature (see the Treasury of David for example).
2. Jonathan Edwards (2 vol. works; printed)
3. John Bunyan (3 vol. works; printed)
4. Thomas Boston (12 vol. works; printed)
5. Thomas Manton (22 vol. works; printed)
6. John Owen (16 vol. works; but especially vols. 1,2 and 6; printed)
7. John Flavel (6 vol. works; printed)
8. Richard Sibbes (7 vol. works; printed)
9. Jeremiah Burroughs (misc. books; printed)
10. Thomas Brooks (6 vol. works; printed)
11. Thomas Goodwin (12 vol. works; printed)
12. John Newton (6 vol. works; printed)
13. David Clarkson (3 vol. works; printed)
14. Edward Reynolds (vols. 1,4,5,6 of 6 vol. works; printed)
(Note: Spurgeon's sermons work better in electronic format because of their sheer size and cost in print format.)
At the close of this series on building a Puritan Library, I will be reviewing each set in order to highlight the strengths. Plus, I will share a few tricks necessary to exhaust each of these incredible resources.
Honorable mention
The following Puritans are very helpful. However, these men are either poorly indexed or hard to find (or both). These include the works of William Ames, William Bates, Stephen Charnock, William Perkins, Samuel Rutherford and Thomas Watson.
The bottom line
The bottom line is this: God's grace is magnificent. He alone allows the funding for these Puritans to be reprinted. He gives publishers the burden to print them today (although these efforts bring very little, if any, profit). He gives men like Robert Martin the generosity to share his Puritan index so we can all benefit from his work.
Before we consider the costs of such a library and the tricks to using one effectively, we should take time this weekend to thank God. His Spirit makes these ancient resources available so the Word can go out into the world today with the earnestness worthy of the Gospel.
Next time … Part 4: Why our effective use of the Puritans begins in the bible

Found throughout Central and North America, these colorful insects survive on nectar. Each adult butterfly lives… only about four to five weeks. As autumn approaches, a special generation of butterflies is born. Unlike their predecessors—all of whom lived only weeks—these migratory butterflies survive seven to eight months. This generation performs the incredible feat of migrating from Canada and the United States to the center of Mexico—after which they begin their northward journey again. The greatest threat facing monarch butterflies is the loss of over-wintering habitat. Show More

Why I Give
"When I first started at the School of Social Work, a professor asked, 'Why are you here?' and some people said for religious reasons, some people said because it feels good and they're motivated to do it. The professor said, 'It's because we are all damaged and there's this subconscious idea that if somehow we get to where we can fix other people we can fix ourselves. That has stuck with me. To me, I've been fixing myself out here for the last 20 years while helping my kids and tenants start their own businesses. What is better than that?"
— King Shaw (BBA '74, MSW '91), on why he is an Annual Fund donor, giving $1,000 each to the Dean Charles Stewart Scholarship Fund and the School of Social Work Discretionary Fund.
When King Shaw completed his undergraduate degree at UGA in 1974 he was poised to take over the family business, the King Plow farm implement manufacturing company, founded in 1902. However, the farm crisis of the 1980s forced the company to shut down in 1986. Shaw reluctantly sold the family business and eventually sought a new career path by earning a master of social work degree at UGA in 1991. While in the program, the new owner of King Plow defaulted on his loan. A savvy businessman, Plow's agreement to sell had included a provision that would return the property to him should the buyer default.
"I got it back, now what am I going to do with it?" Shaw says he thought at the time.
He decided to make the space available for free to local groups raising money for AIDS awareness and other charities. Later he allowed artists to set up shows in his event spaces in order to give them exposure and produce a creative tone for events. With mounting interest from potential tenants and support from the Atlanta Arts Blueprint for Action, which outlined the needs of the arts community in Atlanta, Shaw devised a master plan for the property to rent and eventually sell space to artists and businesses for residential and commercial use.
Today the King Plow Arts Center on West Marietta Street accommodates 600-700 people in 230,000 square feet of space on 12.5 acres. Businesses and organizations housed there include the Paul Mitchell Cosmetology School, the Actors Express Theatre and Georgia Lawyers for the Arts.

Florida Getaways of the Day

Shark Valley: Ride on the wild side( STAFF PHOTO BY SUSAN STOCKER / September 25, 2006 )
Make sure to steer clear of the alligators that will likely be lying beside this wide, paved path for hikers and bikers that makes a 15-mile loop through Everglades National Park. At the seven-mile point, you will come to this 65-foot observation tower with a birds-eye view of a pond full of gators.
"You'll find out why they originally called this the `for-everglades,'" said park ranger Katie Bliss. "It seems to go on forever and ever."
You will also have a great chance of spotting wildlife, including turtles and a wide variety of birds. Bliss reminds families to bring their own water and food and to make sure they stop and move to the side to let any passing vehicles go by. (Bikers and walkers share the pathway with a touring tram but othwerise, it is a flat, smooth and easy bike ride.)
The park, located 35 miles west of Miami along the Tamiami Trail, is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Bike rentals end at 3 p.m. and all rented bikes must be back by 4 p.m. (Bring your own bikes for more flexibility.)
