SpookyQuest is dead.
Nah, this game (Elysis) is project SpookyQuest.
Just a name change really.
Cool to see you've been following it since back then.
There is no save function in the current version (v0.5.1).
It will be in the next update.
This game is awesome! I downloaded the demo 0.5.1, and i see there is a file named mainsave, but my game wont save, and i don't see any button for that purpose. Also, when i kill the three colored ghosts at the dungeon, nothing happens. What should i do? Anyway, can't wait for the launch!
JUST by looking at it it makes me feel like: OMG ANOTHER PIXEL - CUBE GAME! IMMA PLAY IT.

Rep. Henry Cuellar, Texas Democrat, said Friday there must be a shared responsibility between the United States and Central American countries in dealing with the current influx of illegal alien children coming into the country.
"If we continue playing defense on the one-yard line called the U.S.-Mexico border where I live and my family lives, and I work there. We see the results right now [if] we continue to do that," he said on CNN's "New Day." "We have to work with those folks."
Mr. Cuellar said he told the presidents of Honduras and Guatemala that the U.S. will work with you, but that "you have to take responsibility of your country." President Obama is scheduled to meet with the presidents of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador to discuss the border crisis Friday afternoon.
SEE ALSO: Central American leaders blame U.S. for border crisis
Mr. Cuellar, a persistent critic of Mr. Obama's handling of the situation at the border, said it would be bad if Congress leaves for its August recess without passing something to deal with it — which appears to be an increasingly likely prospect at this point.
"It would be a horrible symbol for us to go home, [where] we go back to our districts and leave this crisis, this humanitarian crisis without it being resolved," he said.

[0001] The invention relates generally to a nasal mask and to a cushion therefor, for example, for use in the treatment of respiratory conditions and in assisted respiration.
[0002] Nasal masks are commonly used in the treatment of respiratory conditions and sleep disorders (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea) by delivering a flow of breathable gas for, or to assist patient respiration. These nasal masks typically receive a gas supply line which delivers gas into a chamber formed by walls of the mask. The walls usually are semi-rigid and have a face contacting portion including an aperture which is aligned with the wearer's nostrils. The face contacting portion can comprisesa soft resilient elastomeric material which may conform to various facial contours. The mask normally is secured to the wearer's head by straps. The straps are adjusted to pull the mask against the face with sufficient force to achieve a gas tight seal between the mask and the wearer's face. Gas is thus delivered to the mask and through the aperture to the wearer's nasal passages.
[0003] Problems often arise with masks of the above configuration. For example, the mask may be dislodged, thereby breaking the seal between the mask and wearer. This may occur if the wearer rolls over when sleeping thereby creating a drag force on the gas supply line which is transmitted to the mask, breaking the seal. In the case of a mask being used for the administration of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment for the condition obstructive sleep apnea, such a leak can result in the pressure supplied to the entrance of the wearer's airway being below the Therapeutic value, and the treatment becoming ineffective.
[0004] Another problem is that the face contacting portion may apply excessive pressure to the wearer's face resulting in discomfort and possibly skin irritation. This excessive forces. In some cases these excessive pressures and forces may cause the face to distort to conform with the face contacting portion to increase wearer discomfort, facial soreness and ulceration.
[0005] Other types of devices exist whereby small nostril nosepieces (pillows) are held in place by a harness strapped over the wearer's head, for example as shown in prior art U.S. Pat. No. 4,782,832. While this arrangement may alleviate some problems regarding seal breakage and skin abrasion, the harnesses associated with such devices are quite cumbersome for the wearer, as are the gas supply lines. Also, air 'jetting' into the nostrils can be irritating to the patient making such devices generally uncomfortable to use.
[0006] In FIGS. 1-3, a prior art nasal cushion 10, generally equivalent to that shown in prior art U.S. Pat. No. 5,243,971, is first described.
[0007] As shown, the cushion 10 generally includes a base 11 from which depends a semirigid cushion frame 12 formed of elastomeric matenal. Attached over the outside of the frame 12 is a membrane 15, also of elastomeric material, having at its distal end a face contacting portion 14. The frame 12 and the membrane 15 generally form a chamber 17 into which the wearer's nose can be received. The frame 12 has a notch 19 to accommodate the bridge of the wearer's nose. The base 11 includes slots 13 to accomnodate straps (not shown) to secure the cushion 10 and a mask body (not shown) in combination to the wearer's head.
[0008] An aperture 16 is formed at the end of the membrane 15 distal from the frame 12 providing access for a wearer's nose 20 to the chamber 17 as noted. As shown, the aperture 16 in an unflexed state is generally circular (or elliptical) and is large enough to allow partial entry of the wearer's nose. The resilience of the membrane material allows the face contacting portion 14 and the aperture 16 to invert when the nose is received. The inverted membrane arrangement relies upon a positive pressure of supplied gas within the mask to effect a seal to the wearer's face. The seal is characterised as a "rolling edge seal", in that there can be motion of the cushion 10 relative to the patient's face yet the seal is maintained. Even so, a tuck 22 arises in the vicinity of the upper lip due to the circular shape of the aperture, and it is from this tuck that leaks can arise due to head and body movement during sleep.
[0009] It is an object of the invention to overcome or at least substantially ameliorate one or more of the foregoing disadvantages.
[0010] In one broad form, the invention discloses a nasal mask cushion to sealingly connect a mask to a wearer's face, the cushion comprising:
[0011] a substantially triangularly-shaped frame of resilient material having a rim to surround the wearer's nose;
[0012] a membrane also of resilient material, the membrane being relatively more flexible than the frame, and being of the same general shape as said rim and fixed to and extending away from the frame so as to have an outer surface spaced from the rim, a portion of said outer surface forming a face contacting seal; and
[0013] a nose-receiving cavity bounded by said frame and said membrane;
[0014] and wherein said seal portion is generally coterminous with respect to said rim and is resiliently defotmable towards the rim in use of the cushion.
[0015] Preferably, the rim and seal portion are shaped to generally match facial contours of the facial tissue around the sides and over the bridge of the nose and between the base of the nose and the top lip.
[0016] In one particularly advantageous form, the membrane is substantially saddle-shaped. The membrane further has a centrally located aperture through which the wearer's nose passes to enter said cavity.
[0017] It is preferred that the cushion and membrane each include a co-located notch to accommodate the bridge of the nose of the wearer. Typically, the seal portion contacts at least dhe wearer's nose, and preferably, also the facial tissue around the sides and over the bridge of the nose and between the base of the nose and the top lip.
[0018] The invention further discloses a nasal mask for connection to a wearer's face comprising:
[0019] a mask body for connection with a supply of breathable gas; and
[0020] a nasal cushion, the body and cushion defining a nose-receiving cavity, the cushion including:
[0021] a substantially triangularly-shaped frame of resilient material having a rim to surround the wearer's nose;
[0022] a membrane also of resilient material, Me membrane being relatively more flexible than the frame, and being of the same general shape as said rim and fixed to and extending away from tee frame so as to have an outer surface spaced from the frame, a portion of said outer surface forming a face contacting seal;
[0023] and wherein said seal portion is generally cotenminous with respect to said rim and is resiliently deformable towards the rim in use of the mask.
[0024] The mask body can further include attachment points from which securing straps can be attached, and by which the mask can be secured to the wearer's head. The nasal mask can yet further comprise an arm depending from said body from which a further securing strap(s) can be attached.
[0025] The invention further discloses nasal CPAP treatment apparatus comprising a flow generator for the supply of gas at a pressure elevated above atmospheric pressure to a gas delivery conduit, the conduit in turn coupled to a nasal mask as described mnmediately above.
[0026] In one particularly preferred form, a supply of gas can be provided to said cavity, said supply of gas assisting, but not solely causing maintenance of a seal by said seal forming portion of said membrane to the face of the wearer in use of the cushion.
[0027] Advantageously, because the membrane and the rim are substantially shaped to the facial contour, and the membrane does not need to turn in on itself, as in the prior art, thus contacting the face without folds or creases. With the cushion/mask secured to the wearer's head, the headstraps need only to be tensioned to balance the force due to mask gas pressure that tends to lift the mask off the face. Such relatively lower maskto-face pressure results in.greater patient comfort, and a reduction in the lilelihood of skin irritation.
[0028] An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0029]FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a prior art nasal mask;
[0030]FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the prior art nasal mask of FIG. 1;
[0031]FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the prior art nasal mask attached to a wearer;
[0032]FIG. 4 is a rear perspective view of a mask cushion embodying the present invention;
[0033]FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view along line 5-5;
[0034]FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a nasal mask including the cushion of FIGS. 4 and 5; and
[0035]FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the nasal mask of FIG. 6 secured to a wearer's head.
[0036]FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a nasal cushion 30 embodying the invention. FIG. 5 shows the cross-sectional view along line 5-5. The cushion 30 comprises a substantially triangularly shaped frame 32 from which extends a membrane 34. The frame 32 has a scalloped edge 36 by which the cushion 30 is affixed to a mask body, as presently will be described.
[0037] The membrane 34 has an aperture 38 into which the wearer's nose is received in use of the cushion 30. The membrane 34 is spaced away from the rim 40 of the frame 32, and its outer surface 41 is of substantially the same shape as the rim 40. The outer surface 41 of the membrane 34 and the rim 40 of the frame 32 also can be described as generally saddle shaped. The shaping of the outer surface 41 of the membrane 34 and the rim 40 of the frame 32 also include respective notches 42,44 that receive the bridge of the wearer's nose in use of the cushion 30.
[0038] As is best seen in FIG. 5, the frame 32 and the membrane 34 are integrally formed, typically by in a one-shot molding process. The frame 32 and the membrane 34 are fabricated from a resilient material. One suitable such material is Silastic silicone elastomer manufactured by Dow Corning. The frame 32, in one preferred embodiment, has a typical thickness at its rim 40 of 1.5 mm. The membrane 34, in a preferred embodiment, has a typical thickness of 0.35 mm. In this way, the membrane 34 is relatively more flexible than the rim 40.
[0039] In use of the cushion 30, a wearer's nose will be inserted in the aperture 38 to engage a seal forming portion 45 (formed between the dashed lines) of the outer surface 41 to cause deformation of the membrane 34. Depending upon the securing force supplied to the membrane 34, it may deform to a point where it butts against the rim 40 of the frame 32. The frame 32 has a rigidity sufficient to withstand usual securing pressures in use of the cushion 30 to tend to retain its shape and resist deformation It thus acts as a supporting structure.
[0040] Referring now to FIG. 6, the nasal cushion 30 is shown attached to a mask body 46 by the edge 36 of the frame 32, adhered or otherwise secured to a flange 48 of dte mask body 46. Only the outer surface 41 of the membrane 34 can be seen. The flange 48 includes three slots 50-54 from which tensioning straps can be attached to secure the cushion 30 and the mask body 46 (in combination) to the head of a wearer.
[0041] The mask body 46 forms a cavity that can receive the nose of the wearer by the aperture 38. A port 56 is provided at the top of the mask body 46 by which breathable gas can be supplied to the chamber.
[0042] Referring now to FIG. 7, there is shown a nasal mask 60 including the mask body 46 and the nsaak cushion 30. A coupling tube 62 is connected at one end with the inlet port 56, and at the other to a socket 64 into which can be received a gas delivery tube (not shown) for the supply of breathable gas to the chamber internal of the mask body 46. The mask body 46 also has two vent openings 66 by which expired gas is exhausted. A first fastening strap 68 is fied between to the lower two slots 50,54. The upper slot 52 receives an arm 70, the top end of which has a resilient pad 72 to engage the forehead of the wearer. The arm 70 has two slots 74,76 along its side edges, by which a second fastening strap 78 is secured.
[0043] In fitting the nasal mask 60, the wearer's nose is received through the aperture 38 into the chamber within the mask body 46. The seal forming portion 45 thus contacts both the surface of the wearer's nose and a portion of the wearer's face in the region between the base of the nose and the upper lip, and around the sides and over the bridge of the nose. The shape of the seal forming portion 45 is particularly suited to effectively seal the difficult region of the facial contour that is the crease between the sides of the nose and the face. Depending upon the tension applied by the fastening straps 68,78, a seal is formed with the membrane 34 remaining spaced from the rimn 40 of the cushion frame 32. While the provision of pressurised gas to the chamber of the mask body 46 assists in the maintenance of a seal between the membrane 34 and the wearer's nose and face, it is not essential in most cases, and an effective seal will be formed absent any such pressurised gas. The seal formed between the membrane 34 and the wearer's nose and face is not in the nature of a rolling seal in the manner of prior art as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, as on relative movement of the mask 60 in relation to the wearer's head, the nose will be restrained by contacting the frame 32. Thus only limited relative motion between the mask 60 and the wearer's nose and face occurs.
[0044] The membrane 34 closely imitates the facial contour, and because of its relatively lesser stiffness than the frame 32, can conform to particular facial structures with minimum force, and without a tendency to fold or crease.
[0045] If the fastening strap 68,78 are Visioned to excess, the membrane 34 deforms to abut the rim 40 of the cushion 32, the frame 32 thus acting as an "end limit". In such a configuration, almost zero relative movement can occur between the mask 60 and the wearer's head.
[0046] The nasal cushion 30 and nasal mask 60 has been described with reference to CPAP or assisted respiration treatment, however it is to be understood that the invention generally is applicable to any application where gas and/or atoxised liquid is to be supplied to the entrance of the nasal airways. Such applications include nebulisers, gas masks and anaesthetic machines.

Sad to learn this village might be relocated soon due to the global warming which has caused the diminishing of ice and the damaging powerful waves as consequence.

That's made with love. Whats inside the heart?
I suggested a new location for this picture, since it was located in the rice fields, north of Ubud.
It is on the roundabout, at the end of Ubud's mainstreet. Right you go to Peliatan, left is Jalan Andong. I made the original remark in Dutch, since I was asked a comment in Dutch.

Exceptionally beautiful photo!

McCarthy was the favorite ahead of Thursday's closed-door vote by House Republicans. He was in a three-way race for the top spot in the House with Reps. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and Daniel Webster, R-Fla. At $50 Million, Springs Restoration Not Cheap By Jim Ash • 1 hour ago The state needs to spend another $50 million next year cleaning and preserving Florida's polluted freshwater springs.

The Senate Rules Committee on Thursday voted unanimously to revise the Senate seal that now contains the battle flag along with four others that have flown in Florida. The entire Senate will vote on the change during the annual session that starts in January. The Confederate flag would be replaced with the Florida state flag. Poll: Fl Voters Favor Legalizing Medical Marijuana for Adults By Steve Newborn • 4 hours ago In addition to polling attitudes about marijuana, the survey of 1,173 Florida voters found that some of the Republicans who want to succeed Sen. Marco Rubio would lose in a general election to either of their major Democratic rivals. On the marijuana issue, a group called Floridians For Freedom has begun gathering petitions asking voters to legalize the drug by state constitutional amendment. At the same time, a group called United for Care is trying for the second time to legalize medical marijuana via constitutional amendment.

"Clearly, this man is the absolute antitheses of a Libertarian. Violent Fascist and Neo-Nazi ideologies are completely incompatible with Libertarian values," Wyllie's post states. According to the Associated Press, Invictus admitted to sacrificing a goat in the Mojave Desert as part of a pagan ritual two years ago. Tampa City Council Opposes Mayor's Police Review Board By Daylina Miller • 4 hours ago Daylina Miller/WUSF News Tampa City Council members continue to oppose Mayor Bob Buckhorn over the creation of a Civilian Police Review Board. Council members said the current proposal gives the mayor too much power. Buckhorn called for an executive order, establishing a board of citizens that would independently investigate police conduct and give him the ability to appoint nine people to the 11-member board. City council members asked to appoint seven people to the board, one citizen member for each city council member, while allowing Buckhorn to still appoint four members.

I did this Watercolor for a good friend who loves Madonna. She chose the image she wanted me to paint. I normally like to paint live performances because of the energy; however, in this rare case I made an exception.
Lance Gebhardt is a Northern California Watercolor Artist with a B.A. degree in Art Studio from California State University Sacramento. Growing up with his father (Chuck Gebhardt who is also an artist on FAA) and learning from many great teachers has allowed Lance to experiment with all sorts of fine art mediums throughout his life. Lance found his true passion for watercolor during his college years. I aim to capture that special moment in my works that may otherwise be missed if you blinked. My favorite part about working through a painting is getting lost in the moment. For me it is virtually an experience of becoming a part of the piece which somehow stimulates my senses. For example, when painting musicians, I can't help but hear...

An Edgy Greeting Card Sensation for a Sarcastic Generation. Read more
Funding Canceled
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on February 9, 2013.
An Edgy Greeting Card Sensation for a Sarcastic Generation.
About this project
So like the video said, I plan on taking the world by storm.... with greeting cards.
Wait! Don't leave!
See? This idea is really good!
The conventions and motions of birthday cards, get well cards and general greetings are bland and boring! We want greeting cards to be edgy, we want people to do more than "look for money" when they open their greeting cards before tossing them away! In fact, we want to make cards that don't even call for an occassion! Cards that are witty and can be a gift in themselves. We want people to say, hey where'd you find this card? It's awesome and I wanna get someone for bla bla bla blah... That's who WE are.
Unfortunately, we are also very poor and "make our dreams come true" missed it's slot in our budget. We've got the skills and time, but we need printing supplies to get this going. We'd like to market our cards not just online, but we want to reach out to local stores and get our cards on shelves, we need biz cards and a site that says "We are the Real Deal".
The cards will feature edgy original cartoon characters in situations that we often find ourselves in as humans, with sarcastic humor. For instance, confessing to someone that you like them or telling your mom how much you love her but how annoying she is at the same time.
While the basic scope of the project is edgy greeting cards, we believe our characters would look great on notebooks, t-shirts, posters and more, so more funding means we can do more stuff. If we manage to break our goal we will definitely get started on a t-shirt and accessories line ASAP! But we are a humble duo who would be more than happy just to get a little support from the world!
Risks and challenges
Oh boy. This is a BIG one. There are many talented people in this world, who are great artists with great ideas that do all sorts of things to make their goals a reality. Sometimes, it is just not enough. I'm afraid that something that I think is great and fresh won't ring the same way to others. Can greeting cards really be edgy? Do people care? These are hurdles I face, but my response is simply this, "We have to make them care". Basically, we want to improve a toy that none of the other kids wanted until we made it cool.
Since we are a small team of two, mishaps regarding design and vision are virtually impossible, ain't nothin' to it, but to do it !Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Spirits with Scalpels: The Cultural Biology of Religious Healing in Brazilby Sidney M. Greenfield
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
and#8220;The first time I witnessed a Spiritist surgery, a young man named Jose Carlos Ribeiro inserted a used scalpel taken from a tray that I was holding, and plunged it into the eye of an elderly man. The patient did not moveand#8230;.and#8221; Decades of fieldwork later, Sidney Greenfield presents a riveting ethnography of the complex world of religious healing in Brazil that challenges readers to grapple with the most fundamental concepts of anthropology and cross-cultural experience. In a major contribution to cultural biology, he analyses the complex social, economic, and political landscape of Brazil to understand dramatic healing practices that seem to defy medical explanation. This engrossing and provocative book will put students and scholars alike on the edge of their seats.
Sidney Greenfield presents a riveting ethnography of the complex world of religious practitioners in Brazil that challenges readers to grapple with the dramatic healing practices that seem to defy medical explanation.
About the Author
This engagingly written book is a must-read for anthropologists working and teaching in the fields of religion, anthropological theory, medical anthropology, and alternative medicine. It will also appeal to a wide audience outside of academe because it provides ethnographic descriptions of little known but fascinating ritual healing practices." —Robert Anderson, M.D., Ph.D., Professor and Department Head, Sociology and Anthropology, Mills College
"Greenfield's ethnographic descriptions are captivating. Spirits with Scalpels will make an excellent textbook for courses in medical anthropology/sociology and for students in the medical field who are interested in issues at the intersection of culture and health. I will definitely use it for my classes, because through his analysis of spirit healing and cultural biology Greenfield clearly addresses anthropology's fundamental concepts, methods, and approaches." —Alexander Rödlach, Creighton University
" Spirits with Scalpels is the culmination of a lifetime of pioneering research integrating fascinating insights about mind-body healing on all levels. He tells us the inside stories documenting healers in many of Brazils diverse religious traditions. He updates it with the leading edge of the most recent laboratory research on the molecular-genomic foundations of mind and matter. This volume is a classic of field research that would no longer be possible to carry out today. " - Ernest L. Rossi, PhD, author of A Discourse with our Genes and The Psychobiology of Gene Expression
" Spirits with Scalpels is a breakthrough book that takes the social and biological sciences to a level of understanding and experimentation that is both provocative and profound. Students of Brazil and scholars interested in the interface of religion and healing also will enjoy Dr. Greenfield\'s fascinating descriptions of ritual practices and the art of healing as performed by folk healers with and without scalpels. " - Stanley Krippner, Saybrook Graduate School, author of Varieties of Anomalous Experience and Haunted by Combat
" From the very first page, Spirits with Scalpels is very hard to put down. The reader is led on an adventure greater than any that NASA has promised. Author Sidney M. Greenfield, a widely trained and careful anthropologist, takes you step by step into the precisely documented, witnessed and filmed worlds of Spiritist surgery and other religious therapies in Brazil. If you do not want your mind expanded and new possibilities added to your belief system, do not read this book. The converse is also true. " - Lawrence LeShan, PhD, author of The Dilemma of Psychology and The Medium, the Mystic, and the Physicist: Toward a General Theory of the Paranormal
"Spirits with Scalpels is an outstanding book by an outstanding scholar... The book contains vivid accounts of the work done by a number of healer-me- diums and examines their interaction with patients. Each practitioner is placed in the context of his or her religious tradition. The result is fascinating anthropology and compelling reading."
- Rafael L. López Valdés, Ph.D., Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology
