Honestly, that's kind of sad. Look around, there's people in your own area, that are drop dead gorgeous. You've just never took the time to actually look, because you spend all your damn time on this shit website. Open your eyes, seriously. Go out more, maybe instead of wishing to be with one of these "cute people" you see on internet web pages, you can find someone in your local library or some shit.
D; Today??! WTF lol, damn, i was at Six Flags white waters lol
No matter how hard I work, putting so much effort to make them proud - it seems like everything I do isn't good enough for them. I feel like I'm standing on a stool, trying to meet their expectations. Even when I go further than what they expect, they're always finding something to complain about. I'm not perfect. Gah. I will make mistakes, and I'm still learning. Why can't they understand that?
If you're gonna start a conversation with me, Don't kill it. Don't stop responding when things get awkward. Just because our conversations aren't turning out so well, it doesn't give you the right to leave me hanging. At least show some effort that you're actually trying to make things better than it already is.

For the past few days I haven't been getting any good sleep lately. Yesterday I didn't sleep until 6:30am and only got 1 hour of sleep. Days before that I've been waking up like at 4am or 5am and not going back to sleep. Me waking up this early is getting me a little sick day by day. I've been getting headaches and all that. I'm just a little worried for myself because soon I won't get enough sleep and I'll end up not having enough energy to get out of sleep. This isn't healthy at all.
Why do you wake up so early? It's 5:37am and everyone else is probably still asleep. Why do you do this to yourself? It's very un-Healthy.
Thanks bro. Ima text you okay. Hope yourstill up.
I don't feel the usual me today. I feel sad & stress & depress. Idk what's happening to me. Something is changing about my emotions :/ Ehhh

Can technology replace human intelligence?
This week in my Bioelectricity class we learned about extracellular fields. One facet of the study of extracellular field I find interesting is the determination of the field from a known source (AKA the Forward Problem) versus the determination of the source from a known field (AKA the Inverse Problem). Whereas the forward problem is simple and solutions may be obtained through calculations, the inverse problem poses a problem. The lack of uniqueness to the inverse problem means the solution requires interpretation, which may be subjective. We may also apply a mechanism for the interpretation; this mechanism is known as an AI. However, this facet of AI (document classification) is only the surface of the field.
Damon Horowitz gave a recent presentation at TEDxSoMa called "Why machines need people". In it, he says that AI can never approach the intelligence of humans. He gives examples of AI systems, like classification and summarization. He explains that those systems are simply "pattern matching" without any intelligence behind them. If true, perhaps the subjective interpretation of inverse problems is welcomed over the dumb classification. Through experience, the interpreters may have more insight than one can impart on an algorithm.
However, what Damon failed to mention was that most of those AI systems built to do small tasks is known as weak AI. There is a whole other field of study for strong AI, whose methods of creating intelligence is much more than "pattern matching". Proponents of strong AI believe that human intelligence can be replicated. Of course we are a long way off from seeing human-level AI. What makes human intelligence hard to replicate? Can it be simulated? What if we created a model of the human brain, would it be able to think?

Mar 11 2012: Yes, I believe we can replace part of human intelligence with machines! But this thing is that we can only replace the part of human intelligence we discoverd within ourselves with machines, this means that as we evolve and find more intelligence within our brains we can then replace this new found intelligence with machines. So, human will always be ahead of machines and not the other way around. Infinity to grasp and master! My opinion...
Andrew Leader 50+Mar 13 2012: A great insight. Let me point out that this makes the assumption that the AI we build will not have any emergent intelligence beyond what we've built into it. To me, this is like saying that when you draw a pattern, the ONLY pattern is the one you meant to draw!
What about when we build the first machine that ponders its own existence and aspects of its own thought? This is something we know we do, so why wouldn't we try to implement it in a machine? Once the machine is capable of self-inquiry, what stops it from digging down deeper into its psyche and ours, building more upon itself ad infinitum?
Are we capable of making something this complex? We can only guess. But is there a philosophical argument that proves it to be impossible? I haven't heard anything even almost convincing. But remember evolution: stupid cells made smarter cells.

"most common handgun for suicide attempts"
Writing sometimes leads to THE MOST FUN EVER Google searches.
OH NO um so this search term pulled up the website lostallhope.com not gonna link to it but OH NO I didn't want to know about the existence of a website that offers practical advice on suicide.
That's all I got.
Okay, to be fair, that site which I have mentioned above officially actually does ask people reading it to reach out for help rather than go through with the act. I'm just saying, I was hoping for some statistics, and then things took a dark turn.

I think we should be doing more to ameliorate poverty in America, but I don't really think appointing a cabinet-level poverty-fighting guy would accomplish much to that end. The country badly needs sensible energy policies, but merely having a Department of Energy doesn't accomplish that, any more than the Department of Transportation's existence necessitates sound transportation policy. To fight poverty effectively, you need effective poverty-fighting policies — the precise details of the org chart don't really matter, it's not the kind of thing where the ins-and-outs of the chain of command are going to have a huge impact. If a new cabinet member is the symbolic manifestation of a substantive policy shift, then great. But if it's a symbolic substitute for really changing anything, then who needs it. Cabinet status isn't a magic powder that solves problems on its own.

Olympic Skating Star Tara Lipinski Is Living Fit
Written on March 30, 2011 at 12:39 pm , by Karla Walsh
Flashback to the 1998 Nagano Olympic Games: Fifteen-year-old Tara Lipinski was about to hit the ice to nail seven triple jumps in her short and long programs (salchows and toe loops—makes us dizzy thinking about it!) and best Michelle Kwan for the women's figure skating gold medal. But all she could think about was her nerves.
"I had been preparing for this since I started skating at three-years-old! I realized that four minutes could change my life, and my legs were shaking," Lipinski says. "I called my mom after the warm-up, as I do before every time I hit the ice, and told her 'I can't do it!'"
The confidence that helped her tighten her skate strings and bring home the medal still serves her well today, as she's stepping back onto the ice again and enjoying life as a TV commentator for her sport-of-choice. We caught up with Tara to talk about why she really turned pro at 15, how she stays fit today and who she thinks will be skating's next big star.
You seemed to be on the top of your game! Why did you retire at such a young age?
I didn't think of it as retiring. I took five to seven years to make friends and be "normal" for a while. I felt like I had already accomplished all that I wanted to by winning the national, world and Olympic championships. And my personality always has me focused on 'what's next?'
Read on for Tara's thoughts on getting back on the ice, becoming a commentator and who she thinks will be the next big skating star!

Depomed reported results from a phase III trial of Gralise for the treatment of pain in patients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). This multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study enrolled 452 patients with a pain intensity score of at least four on the 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at screening.Subjects received once-daily Gralise (gabapentin 1800mg) or placebo for 11 weeks. Results showed a significant reduction in the intensity of pain (-2.12) in Gralise subjects' average daily pain intensity compared with placebo patients (-1.63; p=0.013). This difference from placebo was statistically significant after just one week. The drug was well tolerated. The most frequent adverse events were dizziness, headache and nausea. Depomed did not comment on their plans for Gralise.
NeurogesX reported positive results from a phase II trial investigating NGX-4010, a capsaicin-containing dermal patch for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (post-shingles pain). Results showed that 42% of subjects in the active group experienced more than a 33 % pain decrease compared to 8 % in the control group. Treatment consisted of a topical non-prescription anesthetic for one hour, followed by a one-hour patch application. Overall drug tolerability was good with no safety concerns identified. The control group received a low-concentration capsaicin patch. Subjects recorded pain intensity twice daily on an 11-point numerical scale. The double blind, randomized controlled, multi-center study evaluated the tolerability, safety and efficacy of NGX-401 in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia. The study enrolled 44 subjects for four weeks at nine sites in the U.S.

A center of Cold War chemical manufacturing, the city's 300,000 residents have one of the lowest life expectancies in the world thanks to waste injected directly into the ground. "Average life expectancy is roughly 45 years," Robinson (of the Blacksmith Institute) says. "Fifteen to 20 years less than the Russian average and about half a Westerner's."
Underlying northwestern North Dakota is a massive rock formation, referred to as the Bakken shale, which holds an estimated 18 billion barrels of crude oil. When this resource was first discovered in 1951, recovering it was financially unfeasible because the oil was embedded in the stone. Then, around 2008, everything changed, and North Dakota boomed. New drilling technology called hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," became widespread, and oil production took off. As of 2013, there are more than 200 active oil rigs in North Dakota, producing about 20 million barrels of oil every month — nearly 60 percent of it shipped by rail, rather than pipeline. The rigs and support systems have resculpted the landscape, millions of dollars are being spent on infrastructure upgrades across the area, and thousands of oil field workers have arrived, living in new or temporary housing. Gathered below is a collection of images of this recent boom, spread across North Dakota's wide open plains.

Hydro-Québec's Manic-cinq electric power plant, located 214 km north of Baie-Comeau, Quebec. This aerial view of the 1528 MW power plant has been taken from the top of the Daniel-Johnson Dam. On the photograph, 4 of the 8 turbine groups of the station are generating power.
The hydroelectricity power station consists of concrete five vertical Francis turbines; three at 32.5 MW, one at 42.3 MW and another at 67.5 MW. The power station receives water by means of five 223 ft (68 m). high intake towers and then into penstocks. Water released from the power station moves down a 150 ft (46 m). long tailrace tunnel before being discharged back in the Saluda River.[1]
During construction, workers laid 18,590 cubic yards (14,210 m3) of roller-compacted concrete in one day, setting a North American record.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Chipper Jones has reported to camp for the Atlanta Braves.
No, he's not coming back.
The retired third baseman is spending a few days at spring training as a special instructor. He was on the field Sunday, working with former teammates and shrugging off those who kept calling him "coach."
Jones says he thought the first week of spring training might be tough. It hasn't been. He hasn't missed the game nearly as much as he expected, staying busy with his kids, a new romantic relationship, business ventures, the banquet circuit and his ranch. Plus, he can always head to the woods to pursue another of his passions, hunting.
Jones is impressed with Atlanta's big offseason moves but says it's too early to declare the Braves the team to beat.

"For the record, Batista's a sweet guy with an incredible story of perseverance and hard work. He's one of the good guys."
- former WWE star Zach Gowen defending Batista
The record for most elimination in the Royal Rumble belongs to Kane, who once took out eleven performers. There are talks that Roman Reigns could be given the distinction of beating that tonight at Royal Rumble 2014. He is expected to be pushed heavily during the match.
Jim Neidhart set a shot put record for California high schools that stood firm for twelve years before someone else broke it.
This rather interesting picture surfaced on Twitter this week. It's Alpha Female, who signed a contract with TNA while they were on the European tour, and LeiD Tapa carrying Al Snow, a backstage agent for Impact Wrestling.
On Impact Wrestling last night, Madison Rayne made her return to TNA, where the former Knockouts Champion saved ODB from an attack by Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa. Rayne had taken some time away from the company to have a child.

GINNIFER, NICE TATTOOED GIRLFRIEND FROM LA (19 PICS)Posted by Max Stirner on March 20th, 2014
I received this gallery and think it's good for a hot day. A nice idea and a cute nude girlfriend with a marvellous body, a round, tight ass with some perky boobs and great nipples.Bruce sent these pics of Ginnifer, from Los Angeles. I think this girl is really cute, and has a beautiful pair of boobs. She looks like she might be a bit on the younger-side for my tastes, but that wouldn't stop me from jumping in the sack with her. I bet she gets a lot of attention from the boys with that beautiful, all-natural rack of hers.

My girlfriend finally just got an Ask Box and I wanted to welcome her with a good amount of questions in her inbox. Help me please and ask away :)
I'm currently working on a huge project for the new media and entertainment industries and am looking for a solid team of interns who could help out.
The duties are extremely varied and would mainly depend on your set of skills and abilities.
If this is of interest to you, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com with as much information about yourself as possible. Attaching a resume is always a plus.
Thank you again to all my followers and supporters of my work.
John Mayer, Edge of Desire.

If you've been following me for a while, you might remember that a few months ago I detoxed off all social networking sites (aside from Tumblr of course) because I felt that the effect it was having on me was unhealthy. I got about 600 messages from people that wanted to join and the response was extremely positive. I've recently realized that ever since I've been using them again, my productivity level and overall devotion turned back to unhealthy. So here I am, again, proposing another one week (minimum) detox to see if the change really does make us feel better. All you need to do is deactivate or stop using all other platforms aside from Tumblr, including mobile applications and all notifications. I'd love to have a lot of you do it with me and hear about the impact it had on your overall health. Let this be your week of societally-inflicted freedom where you don't have to care about what's going on in everyone else's life every second of the day.

He risked a glance at me, but I didn't glance back although I could tell he was looking at me. When I finally looked back, he quickly turned away again. I sighed.

Real talk, who wants to see The Avett Brothers with me on May 30th in Michigan? Tickets run about $45-$70. C'mon, it's right before my birthday!
OMG! The Avett Brothers are going to be in Rochester Hills THE DAY BEFORE I TURN 25. Tickets go on sale next week!
Tegan and Sara are also going to be in Grand Rapids in June. Tickets went on sale today and none of the links work. WAH!
If I don't get to go to at least one of these shows, I will shed 1 million tears.

—The Ballad Of Love And Hate
The Avett Brothers — The Ballad of Love and Hate
Love writes a letter and sends it to Hate:
"My vacation's ending, I'm coming home late
The weather was fine and the ocean was great
And I can't wait to see you again"
Hate reads the letter and throws it away
"No one here cares if you go or you stay
I barely even noticed that you were away
I'll see you or I won't, whatever"
Love sings a song as she sails through the sky
The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes
And everyone knows it whenever she flies
And also when she comes down
Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street
Every stranger and drifter he greets
And shakes hands with every loner he meets
With a serious look on his face
Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow
Carrying with her the good things we know
A reason to live and a reason to grow
To trust, to hold, to care
Hate sits alone on the hood of his car
Without much regard to the moon or the stars
Lazily killing the last of a jar
Of the strongest stuff you can drink
Love takes a taxi, a young man drives
As soon he sees her hope fills his eyes
But tears follow after at the end of the ride
Because he might never see her again
Hate gets home lucky to still be alive
He screams over the sidewalk and into the drive
The clock in the kitchen says two-fifty-five
And the clock in the kitchen is slow
Love has been waiting patient and kind
Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign
That the one that she cares for who's out of his mind
Will make it back safe to her arms
Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door
Weary head hung down, eyes to the floor
He says, "Love, I'm sorry," and she says, "What for?
I'm yours and that's it, whatever
I should not have been gone for so long
I'm yours and that's it, forever
Your mine and that's it, forever"
The Avett Brothers - Slight Figure Of Speech (by theavettbrothersVEVO)
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age.
—I And Love and You | The Avett Brothers
Love has been waiting, patient and kind.
Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign,
That the one that she cares for, who's out of his mind,
Will make it back safe to her arms.
—The Ballad of Love and Hate | The Avett Brothers
The weather was fine and the ocean was great and I can't wait to see you again.
—The Ballad of Love and Hate | The Avett Brothers
Three words that became hard to say, I and love and you.
—I And Love And You | The Avett Brothers
My hands they shake, my head it spins.

With the forsaken not being able to communicate with the humans and worgen, I would imagine that having a functional jaw is required to effectively speak common, but not for Gutterspeak of Orcish.
As for the elves, everyone knows that blood elves and high elves are too snooty with each other to stoop to the point of actually talking. Really. If I recall lore right, the High Elves despise the Blood Elves because they let their magic addiction consume them.
And the neutral NPCs use a special Gnomish-grade Goblin-engineered telepathic brain-implant that allows sound waves to be translated into brain impulses of the NPC's native language.

1970 Marcos 3.0 Litre V6 GT in excellent condition. Bought several years ago from the team that used to work at the factory in the UK. It runs smoothly and it has only been driven a few 100 miles over the past few years in San Diego to shows brunch est. As far as I know everything works (need to check the radio). Here is a brief summary about the car:
GENERAL: it is a steel frame car built in the factory – no rust no collision repair. Mileage is 81K ENGINE: it is the factory Essex V6, as it left the factory. Starts, and drives smoothly and it has synthetic oil in it. It is likely that it was rebuilt before but we have no records. The car has the 4 speed tranny + overdrive on top gears. Overdrive works well.
BODY: I think the leather interior was redone because it looks like new. I'd say the paint is near perfect, but it has some cracks because of the flexible fiberglass construction. These flaws are not really visible if you not searching for them.
In summary, if you want a piece of art and history, then this is it. Finally, this is a 43 year old car and is in exhalant condition for the year. Vin # 3M 5824. $29,950. By appointment only. Call Roy 619 708 3180
Price: $29,950

BLADE 350 QX2 AP Combo RTF Photo Quadcopter-Drone BLH7900$899.99
The 350 QX AP Combo captures incredible aerial footage without any of the hassle of buying several components and is backed by the best support in the industry should you ever need it. Feel free to stop looking, you've found the perfect AP solution for your fleet!
The 350 QX is very stable and is able to hold position even in wind conditions of 10-15 mph (and small gusts slightly higher) shouldn't be a big issue. Anything higher than that may make it difficult to fly.
The transmitter used in the 350 QX2 AP Combo is a full-range, hobby-grade radio control transmitter and is capable of controlling the 350 QX2 beyond the range at which the quad will no longer be visible to the pilot. Basically, if you can see it, you can control it. In the unlikely event of losing radio contact the model will enter fail safe and return to a range where the radio can communicate again, and at that point the model can be put into return home.
Regarding altitude, when flown in Smart mode (which is for beginners) the quad will only go as high as about 160 feet. In other modes, it will go higher, but again should not be flown out of the pilot's line of sight. Customers should also check for any local laws or regulations that further impact the altitude that this type of product should be operated.

Ghana is in West Africa, on the Guinea Gulf between Ivory Coast and Togo. The village that has welcomed us is called Pabi, that in the local language (Twi) means "find something".
Pabi is in the Eastern Region, in the West Akym District (on the Suhum-Asamankese road), about 80 kms from the capital Accra. This is one of the most fertile regions in the country, where farms alternate with areas still covered by the tropical forest with its lush vegetation: the surrounding hills are ideal for hiking, but if you prefer to idle about, you can enjoy the fresh river's waters or a relaxing bird watching session...
FROM ACCRA - By car: take the Kumasi road until you reach Suhum (70 kms from the Accra's barrier), where you'll branch on the left, taking the road to Asamankese On this road you only drive about 20 kms, until you'll see the signboard Pabi-Ananse Village. By public transport: take a trotro (minibus) to Suhum at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle or at Achimota. Tell the driver (or the mate) you'll get down at Suhum's roundabout. In that same station (Suhum roundabout) take a trotro or a collective taxi to Asamankese, tell the driver (or the mate) you'll get down at Pabi.
Click on the map to enlarge it
FROM CAPE COAST - Take the Accra road until you reach the Winneba roundabout. At the roundabout turn left (direction Swedru). Drive on pass Swedru until you reach Akroso(from Winneba it's about 50 kms). At Akroso take the road on the right to Asamankese (you'd better ask, there's no signboard) and at Asamankese take the road to Suhum, on which you'll find Pabi (it's only 13 kms from Asamankese).

Men's Health
Acne Treatments for Men
What causes acne in men?
The cause of acne can be traced to the sebaceous glands, which start releasing generous quantities of sebum during adolescence and continue to do so throughout life. But why does sebum continue to cause acne in men who are well beyond the hormone surges of adolescence?
"I don't know if we have an answer to that," says Christopher B. Harmon, MD, of Total Skin and Beauty Dermatology Center in Birmingham, Alabama. "Genetic predisposition is a major factor — more than diet or environment. The kind of skin someone is genetically programmed to have will determine who gets acne and who doesn't."
Acne treatment
Basic acne treatment involves keeping follicles open by using a variety of skin cleansers that exfoliate, or remove dead skin cells.
"Over the counter products tend to contain peroxide or glycolic acids, which help prevent plug formation," Harmon says. "And exfoliating the skin helps peel away those dead scales."
Harmon tells WebMD that many non-prescription gels, creams, lotions, pads, and other acne products that help exfoliate and cleanse the skin include two familiar ingredients:
- benzoyl peroxide, which destroys bacteria that can get into follicles and trigger infection
- salicylic acid, which,like glycolic acid, helps unclog pores, although it provides only temporary relief unless it's used every day
If these products don't help, a dermatologist can prescribe several other treatments:
- Antibiotics taken orally or rubbed into the skin help control bacteria.
- Vitamin A derivatives, known as retinoids, help unclog pores and keep them unclogged.
- Anti-inflammatory medications known as corticosteroids can be injected directly into an inflamed cyst or pustule by a doctor to subdue severe eruptions.
One word of caution: Some supplements designed to quell acne can actually cause other problems. "If you take too much zinc to treat acne, it can cause anemia," says Dr. David Rahimi, a privately practicing dermatologist in Los Angeles. "It can bring your white cell count down and lead to severe infection. Too much vitamin A in the form of Accutane can cause a host of problems from liver toxicity to hair loss — all sorts of problems." Rahimi says these products should be used moderately, if at all, and preferably under a doctor's supervision.
Adult acne and anabolic steroids
Anabolic steroids, used by athletes and bodybuilders to build muscle mass, are one well-known cause of acne in men. Studies indicate that about one-third of men who use steroids get acne, and about 50% of the men who get it develop a severe form known as cystic acne.
"With some patients, I can tell from the kind of acne they have that they are using anabolic steroids," says Jeffrey Dover, MD, a dermatologist at Skin Care Physicians of Chestnut Hill in Massachusetts. "The acne usually is on the back and on the chest, but it can be anywhere. Treating them involves getting them to acknowledge that they're taking these performance-enhancing drugs. It is very difficult to treat because it's intensely resistant to typical treatments."
Such acne usually goes away gradually if the man stops taking the steroids.

The 8 Ball 11.19.13: Top 8 Gameboy Games & Video Game Pirates
Posted by
Marc Morrison
on 11.19.2013
From Edward Kenway in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Isabella in Dragon Age II to Cervantes in Soulcalibur and more, 411's Liana K counts down the top 8 video game pirates while Marc Morrison looks at the Top 8 Gameboy games!
Welcome to another edition of The 8 Ball. This week the formula is a bit changed since myself and Liana wanted to do our own separate "pet project" lists. Neither of us was really qualified to comment on each other's lists, so we just have two largely disparate lists for you to read and comment on, if you so wish. I chose to do Top (original) Gameboy Games, and she chose Video Game Pirates. Let's begin:
8. Batman: The Animated Series
Prior to the Arkham Asylum games, this game was tied with the SNES Batman: TAS game as the best Batman game to have been released. That's really sad when you consider the number of Batman games that have come out. Still Batman: TAS was a pretty fun experience on the Gameboy. Broken up into five levels, you primarily played as Batman who had more life and had his grappling hook. Occasionally you would switch to Robin who had less life but could cling to ceilings and use his hands to walk on them. It's a primitive game by today's standards but was a lot of fun back in the day.
7. Pokemon
I may get a little flack with the low placement of Pokemon, but that's fine. I honestly just never played the original Pokemon games (or any of them) much. Pokemon hit on September 30th, 1998 which was just two months prior to the Gameboy Color being launched. By that time, most people had pretty much abandoned the Gameboy (much as I did). However, Pokemon started a cultural event that persists to this day. Movies, tv shows, games, card games, merchandise, Pokemon has become a gaming phenomenon like Mario or Zelda. And it all started here.
6. Fortified Zone
I'm really not sure how I stumbled on Fortified Zone but I really used to enjoy it. The game was a top-down perspective game as you cleared out various rooms of enemies. Think something like Rambo mixed with Smash TV. You played as two mercenaries in the game and could switch on the fly. The male one had more life and could use the special weapons around the levels, and the female one had less life but was quicker and could jump over spiky floors. So you would enter a room with the male, clear out the enemies, then you could switch to the female and hop over the spikes to pick up a health pack for yourself, or special ammo for the guy. Fortified Zone isn't remembered or even played by a lot of people but it was a unique game for the system for sure.
5. Kirby's Dreamland 2
The original Kirby's Dreamland was a lovely but short and linear game. When it was made for the NES (Adventure) it was greatly expanded by giving you an overworld, the copy mechanic and ways to tackle bosses differently. Dreamland 2 pared down the number of overall powers you could use but gave you three animals (a Hamster, Owl, and Fish) which could modify the powers. So while the Stone power usually sucks, when you use the Hamster animal it becomes a rolling ball of death to your enemies. Dreamland 2 also had hidden things for you to find in the game, the Rainbow Drops, which unlocked the final boss in the game.
4. Super Mario 1
Super Mario Land was an interesting experiment on the Gameboy. It was popular and sold amazingly well but something about it felt "off" to me. The controls were a bit laggy in certain spots. Coupled with how small some of the enemies were this led to more than a few cheap deaths. There were some interesting levels in the game like the underwater and space levels though. Plus the whole Egyptian motif made the game's look fairly unique. Don't worry though, another Mario game is coming up soon.
3. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Like with Kirby's Dreamland 2, Link's Awakening cherry-picked the best bits from its more powerful predecessor (Link to the Past) into a lovely handheld game. I loved the story in this game, that you're not just trying to rescue Zelda from Ganon again, but you have a different objective. The item system was fun also, being able to actually unequip your sword to traverse certain areas was cool. There was also a good trading quest that was an early precursor to the Biggoron's Sword quest in Ocarina of Time. The best part was being able to steal from the shop keeper and then him killing you when you re-enter his store. They should have kept this mechanic in all future Zelda games.
2. Tetris
As I said with last week's column, Tetris is a masterpiece of game design. And Nintendo's decision to pack it into the majority of Gameboy's was a stroke of genius. Here is a game that has no practical end that tests the players skill in getting further. Sure B-Type existed, but A-TYPE is where it was all at. The inclusion of a 2-player with the link cable (cable sold separately) meant that you and a friend could battle against each other. And since most Gameboy owners did have Tetris, it means you could easily find other people to play against.
1. Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins
Frankly, not only is Mario 2 the best Gameboy game, but it's among one of the best Mario games in the series. The motif of the column has been "Take an existing game, slim it down and cram it on the handheld", and that's the philosophy Nintendo took with this game, taking elements from Mario Bros. 3/Super Mario and distilling them down to their essence. The truly great thing about Mario 2 is the non-linearity the game has, you can tackle any of the worlds (for want of a better word) as you please. Plus the worlds/levels themselves are highly varied, from a haunted landscape, to a world where you are tiny inside a house, to battling creatures inside a giant Mario-themed robot. Plus, Bunny Mario was just a blast to go through levels as, if a level didn't require the fire power-up, I would never use it.
The Better Half with Liana K
Top 8 Video Game Pirates
Marc and I decided to do different topics this week because I have been bugging him to do a pirate list. Why? Because I love pirates. Pirates are up there with ninjas and zombies as things geeks naturally love. Strangely, however, there are surprisingly few pirate games, compared to the number of zombie, and/or ninja games. But there ARE enough pirates out there to make a list, so here's proof that it's not the number of characters that counts. It's how you use them. While there are many versions of real-life pirates being used in games, I kept my list limited to fictional pirates as a reward for original character creation.
8: Eddie Raja (Uncharted)
Eddie is a modern pirate, and while modern pirates are much scarier and less flashy than the pirates everyone knows and loves, I give the Uncharted series credit for showing that modern pirates are really not nice, very desperate dudes. But Eddie's still got panache, and he does his part in a franchise that has to have bad guys that are immoral enough to make the series' immature, ethically-challenged protagonist seem vaguely heroic by comparison. Eddie's former friendship with Nathan Drake sets up from the beginning of the series that while Nate is likeable, he's not really noble, and that becomes an important character point throughout the series.
7: Wash Buckler (Skylanders Swap Force)/Davey Jones (Disney Infinity)
I combined these guys because they're great for the same reason: being adorable and badass at the same time. Wash Buckler is also kind of a Davey Jones knock off, although he has tentacles for legs as well as on his face. I'm sure that makes him popular with lady Skylanders, but 1) it's a kids game, 2) I digress. Wash Buckler's tentacles, and designation as a ladder base Swap Force Skylander, allow him to climb up walls, leading to some pretty cool Little Big Planet style mini-games. But really, the thing that makes him coolest is all the tentacles. Tentacles are cool.
Meanwhile, Disney Infinity's Davery Jones is 100% more cuddly than his live-action movie counterpart, and I'm not sure why. He's still cool enough for little boys to love him though, and he's a fun character to play as well, because he's on the slow side and tanky, but still useful. I can't help but giggle when I'm making him blast away guards in toy box mode. But then I go back to trying to figure out why this tragic blockbuster antagonist is suddenly so frikkin' cute! Look at the picture! He's huggable!
6: Grayson Hunt (Bulletstorm)
Even thinking about this immensely quotable, foul-mouthed space pirate cracks me up, because he's exactly like what I imagine space pirates would really be like – drunk, bombastic, and really not that smart. At his core, Grayson's an alright guy. He's just not sober long enough to really do anything about that. And I don't want to imagine what he smells like. But Steve Blum's crazy good voice acting overcomes a somewhat unoriginal character concept, and the over-the-top profanity just... I think I'm revealing too much about myself here!
5: The Protagonist of Sid Meier's Pirates!
Before there was Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Jack Rackham, Stede Bonnet, and company were known to gamers alongside a weird dancing minigame intended to charm ladies into giving you info. It's hard to explain this early open-world game, which originally released way back in 1987, other than it's that comforting sort of repetitive, addictive fun. It also made my knowledge of Caribbean geography much better!
4: Cervantes (Soulcalibur)
The Soulcalibur franchise boasts a lot of rich characters, and for some reason I find Cervantes much more menacing than Astaroth, and almost as creepy as Voldo... okay, nothing's as creepy as Voldo, but you get what I'm saying. There's a bloodthirsty evil about him that cuts through the fact that he has the proportions of a Bruce Timm superhero. The fact that he's legit scary, like, rip out your throat with his bare hands scary, saves him from being a cartoony Japanese retelling of a Western action cinema trope... not that there's anything wrong with that. At the end of the day "ghost pirate" is just awesome. Wonder if he goes out for beers with Voldo. Does Voldo go out for beers?
3: Edward Kenway (Assassin's Creed Black Flag)
I have to hand it to Ubisoft: they managed to explain AC3's buttface Assassin-turned-Templar Haytham Kenway by introducing us to his father. I should hate Edward: he's selfish, irresponsible, reckless, arrogant, and a drunk. Hmm, maybe he should run to be the mayor of Toronto. At least he doesn't have a crack problem. Anyway, as the game progresses, his better qualities come to the fore. I bet he'd have done things differently if he knew what a schmuck his son would end up being, but defined, imperfect characters are what keep bringing me back to the Assassin's Creed stories, even when aspects of the gameplay get broken.
2: Adéwalé (Assassin's Creed Black Flag)
While I like Edward, I LOVE Adéwalé! Not only is he a badass mo fo in a fight, but he's smarter than Edward, significantly more mature, and he's loyal even though Edward doesn't really deserve it. He's not brainlessly loyal, however, and he'll put the well-being of the crew over Edward's ambitions when things get ridiculous. Also, when Edward leaves the Jackdaw and it gets attacked, it never sinks, because Adé is awesome. Whenever they're at sea, Adé never needs to hang on to anything, because he is awesome. When the ship hits something, Adé never goes flying overboard despite never hanging on to anything, because he's awesome. He's like a black pirate version of Chuck Norris.
1: Isabella (Dragon Age II)
Bioware has a talent for making sure the required "busty fantasy babe" in their games is more than tits on stilts, and Isabella, in all her "Jack Sparrow with a great rack and no pants" glory, is a shining example of that. She's a study in consequence: her less-than-virtuous ways managed to piss off lots of Qunari, and she's the butt of numerous pirate gonorrhoea jokes... at least I'm guessing it's gonorrhoea. Anyway... I'm always pleased that Bioware's highly sexualized female characters are actually good characters, and saying Isabella is well-rounded is a terrible pun, but it's true. She really should wear pants, but with the burning that's apparently down there... well, maybe the sea air is therapeutic? I don't know. This is gross. Anyway, Isabella is great!
Complainer's Corner
I think people might be more annoyed with Pokemon's relatively low placement than anything else, but that's a different discussion entirely. I did come up with a few games that didn't quite make my big list, for one reason or another: Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong Land, Final Fantasy, Metroid 2, any of the Mega Man games and Dr. Mario.
The General Roundup
As always, I'll try and address a few of the comments from last week. Panzer Dragoon sucked. This is all. Amped 3 is still actually a fairly solid game, I replayed it recently and still rather enjoyed it. For as relatively neutral I am about Halo now, I actually really did enjoy the first Halo game. Also, while Wipeout was a European launch PS1 game, it wasn't a USA launch game, coming out a few months later. If I was going to throw launch games from other territories on my list, I would have included Jet Set Radio Future for sure.

Class this week was Revisited Classics which put a modern spin on some classic French pastries.
We made a lot of pâte à choux, but added a modern element to it: croustillant. The croustillant adds crunch and sweetness to the pâte à choux. One of the things we made from this was cream puffs. The cream puffs are filled with caramel and chocolate cremeuxs. We put them together to look like MOFs. The hats and neckerchiefs are made out of modeling chocolate.

Mercede Johnston, the younger sister of Levi Johnston, unloaded on the Palin family -- saying Sarah Palin would have a "mental breakdown" if she were elected president ... and that Bristol Palin "prayed to God" Levi was not her baby daddy.
Mercede posed for the September issue of Playboy -- and according to the NY Post, she told the mag 70% of Wasilla, Alaska residents "can't stand Palin" -- and Johnston even thinks her connection to the family prevents her from getting jobs.
She explained, "People say, 'Oh, Mercede Johnston, I don't know if people are going to come in if she works here.'"
Mercede also reveals Bristol sent Levi a text message when she found out she was preggers that read, "Ever since the moment I found out I was pregnant, I prayed to God you weren't the father."
A call to a Palin family attorney was not immediately returned.
I am a man and if I was a female preg I would be praying to god he wasn't the father...
Funny how they use every chance they get to blast the Palins but their family has real issues like a druggy mom etc...
These people need to get a life and he needs to pay his support and stop being a bitch.. he stuck his pecker in her and now he has to pay.
Hope I am a minority in saying Palin would be a train wreck for the USA. Rise and fall just like Rome.
Do you think maybe it's because you dress and act like a slut.
Why does this bottom feeder family want yet another 15 min of fame.
All the best to Mercede.
Trash is trash, and this girl is definitely trash. Like Brother like sister. I just hope they all stay in Alaska, I wouldn't like that clan living next to me.
Cheap shot bitch just after her 15 minutes of fame. I'm not a Palin family fan and just want them to GO AWAY.
Looks like the entire Johnson family is begging for fame. Trashy people.
Someone named after a car should not be allowed to speak.
@VeeBee ... have you ever lived in a small town? Wasilla only has 7800 citizens, and I'd hazard a guess that many live on the outskirts of town. Yes in people in small towns talk, they tend to know each others business, and it's not out of the realm of reason that she might have had some opportunities clouded by her name. Johnston might be a "common" name, but how many people in that town of 7800 are named Johnston? The thing I'm wondering about is if Bristol was "praying that Levi wasn't the baby daddy" does that mean she was sleeping around with a couple guys or was she so ignorant about how procreation works that she thought she might have immaculately, lol?
Some people just really love to lie ..that's what make's their world go round..like it make's any difference what she say's and who is even going to listen..
I'm not a Palin fan, but this girl sound like she is holding on to the Palin shirt tails for fame. low class!
geez . . why is it Playboy turns all the women into overly dyed blonde haired clones?
This girl is so desperate to take down this family that she will say anything to do it.
1. Sarah Palin is the strongest individual I've ever seen in the public eye. She literally gets bashed every hour of every day, but still comes out fighting even harder than before. She will not have a "mental breakdown" while in the white house. But I have a feeling the person currently sitting in the oval office is about to have one after our country has been downgraded on his watch.
2. Any girl would pray to God to not have Levi Johnston be the father of their child. Doesn't mean she was sleeping around.
3. Mercede Johnston can't get a job, because she doesn't look for one. She sponges off the Palin family name. Why would she look for a job? She and her brother are both sociopaths. Waste of space on this earth.
What happened to Levi's run for mayor of Wasilla? Would those 70% of people she claims that hate Sarah Palin vote for Levi???? LOL

Visitors to the lighthouses are welcome anytime, however the towers are currently closed for public tours until certain safety precautions and restoration steps are completed. Special private group tours can be arranged at this time on a limited basis by contacting Michigan Lighthouse Conservancy. Our eventual goal is to have public tours to climb to the top of the lantern room.
While the towers are closed, you can take a virtual tour of the lighthouses as well as look at a current view of them via these web cams.
