Like a screenplay written by an 8-year-old, a mini-golf course is full of holes and often centers on a dinosaur, a rocket ship, and a castle. Enter a pintsize world of possibilities with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $7 for one round of mini golf for two (a $14 value)
- $14 for one round of mini golf for four (a $28 value)
- $20 for one round of mini golf for six (a $42 value)
Parkside Miniature Golf
Built in 1930 from cobblestones left over from the construction of the Erie Canal, one of America's oldest miniature golf courses sits under the shade of pine trees near the shore of Lake Ontario. A landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 18-hole course known as Parkside Whispering Pines has challenged putters in the more than eight decades since. As such, its design recalls the charm of vintage courses, taking inspiration from such nautical items as boats and lighthouses and incorporating wooden posts to guard the greens.
Adjacent to the course, Parkside Diner—founded as a small, 40-seat restaurant—now hosts up to 110 hungry patrons hungry for a snack other than fallen pinecones. Curated by the two brothers, Jim and Greg Papas, who own the joint, the wide-ranging menu spotlights diner staples, such as homemade meatloaf smothered in creole sauce and burgers crowned with homemade chili. The diner's cooks also focus on generous portions of breakfast classics, from cinnamon-swirl French toast to six-ounce New York strip steaks paired with eggs and potatoes.
98% of 105 customers recommend
"Lots of fun with the grandkids!"
"They have fixed it up nicely since the last time I was there. It looks great! It's fun to go there. It's old fashioned and feels like a seaside village."

Cinematic Titanic (Creators of Mystery Science Theater) LIVE at the Arlington Drafthouse
CINEMATIC TITANIC is the new feature-length movie riffing show from the creator and original cast of MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000. Like MST3K, the show was created by JOEL HODGSON and features the same team that first brought the Peabody award winning cult- classic series to life: TRACE BEAULIEU (Crow, Dr. Forrester), J. ELVIS WEINSTEIN (Tom Servo, Dr. Erhardt), FRANK CONNIFF (TV's Frank), and MARY JO PEHL (Pearl Forrester). Cinematic Titanic continues the tradition of riffing on 'the unfathomable', 'the horribly great', and the just plain 'cheesy' movies from the past.
Founded in late 2007, Cinematic Titanic is an artist-funded, and artist-owned and operated venture. With twelve feature-length DVDs (available in our store or on Amazon.com) and an ever-growing schedule of live shows, the CT crew is reconnecting with MSTies around the world as well as bringing new fans to the comedy art form first introduced by this group 20 years ago on television.

Mike Green returned to the Washington Capitals lineup Tuesday night against the Carolina Hurricanes after a three-game absence because of a groin injury.
The defenseman is by far the Caps' leader in ice time, averaging 26:33 a game before the injury. In the meantime, the team leaned heavily on John Carlson.
"We need [Green]; he plays a lot of minutes," coach Adam Oates said. "We really wore Carly out, and it'd be great to have him back and reduce some of his stress. He's a top defenseman in this league."
Carlson played 26:15, 30:34 and 22:42 in the three games Green missed. The 23-year-old had a goal and a minus-1 rating.
"I thought he played fantastic," Oates said of Carlson. "But it's not something you want to do. You don't want to play a guy 30 minutes; you want to have him fresher as the game goes along. I thought he played great for us."
Green on Monday pronounced himself 100 percent and said a couple of days off made all the difference. He expressed no concern about playing in the Caps' back-to-back games, Tuesday against Carolina and Wednesday at the Philadelphia Flyers.
"The reason why I'm able to play is because I'm 100 percent," Green said. "And it was either kind of battle through it on Saturday or else wait until I'm 100 percent so I could play the back-to-backs. So here we are."
Oates similarly dismissed any worries about the back-to-back games.
"It's not an injury that gets tired," Oates said. "You can either play or you can't."
Orlov update
Dmitry Orlov was cleared for contact this week, but the 21-year-old defenseman might not be able to play in a game with the Hershey Bears any time soon.
Orlov suffered an upper-body injury that's believed to be a concussion when the Bears played the Norfolk Admirals at Verizon Center on Dec. 6. He began skating with Hershey teammates recently, but Tuesday was the first time he was able to skate without a no-contact jersey.
"I think it is a significant [step]," Bears coach Mark French said in a phone interview Tuesday afternoon. "Because of the duration that he's been out, he's been skating with us the last few weeks, but the fact that he's been cleared to take contact now I think is a real good step.
"I think he was energized by that today and was real excited to be out there and have no restrictions on him. And hopefully we can progress and keep moving forward with him."
French said he believed the plan was for Orlov to have two weeks of practicing with contact and then the team will evaluate him "almost on a daily basis." Orlov won't be able to play this weekend for the Bears, French said, though he was hopeful about the following weekend.

Oofos Sandals Review
Sandals are perfect for the summer and we are always looking for that perfect pair so when I got the chance to review them, I had no thought but DUH every girl loves shoes. I got pair of Oofos for me and a pair for Josh for summer. The first thought I had when I tried on could say it was ooamazing.
Here is some information about Offos-
OOfoam technology:
• Absorbs shock to lessen pain
• Reduces fatigue & restores vigor
• Delivers unparalleled cushioning to recharge & rejuvenate your feet.
*from their site*
They do sell Ooriginal Thong or Ooahh Slide, in both men sizes 7-14 and womens sizes 4-11. They have a different variety of colors, so make sure to see what they sell and visit their site here. Right now you can't buy from their page but they will show you where you can find in your state. They will have their web store up soon.
So my personal review of the Oofos is that they are ooperfect, with my first step I could feel my foot bounce back right away and not feel the ground under me. They felt comfortable right away and I didn't want to take them off. I did take them off but then my fiancee and I wanted to test them out on for a full day adventure to Six Flags, so we got there and normally my feet are killing me after a few hours because I feel the ground I have no support and the typical flip flop complaints, but not this time I felt great walking around for about 10 hours. We went to the water park and my fiancee said they really grip great in the water. Overall we were both excited and walked around for around 10 hour trip to an adventure park with our feet feeling great.
If Oofos sound like the shoes for you then make sure you follow them via facebook because you can know when their online store opens so you can get your very own pair. If you have any questions about the review feel free to comment your question. Again thank you to Oofos for letting me review for them. Also you can buy online at there authorized dealers for $39.95 (here)

Country music star Billy Currington will perform June 28, on the second night of the Summer Jam concert series during Nebraskaland Days.
Currington is a popular star. He just scored his seventh No. 1 single Hey Girl, which is the first single to be released off his fifth studio album.
Currington has 11 top 40 hits during his career, including "Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right", "Good Directions", "People Are Crazy" and "That's How Country Boys Roll."
Two country acts is not something Nebraskaland Days has done in more than five years. But going into the 50th celebration of the state's official celebration, it seemed like the right time, organizers said.
At our core, were a festival that celebrates our western heritage, Julius said. Rounding out the celebration with two acts of this quality just felt right.

About Me
Some videos of me
Chip Willis
My Look:
I have no tattoos, piercings, or stretch marks. You won't have to do much editing I have a very unique, distinct look that can go from sweet and innocent to sex kitten. I maintain trimmed, but full pubic hair. My hair is a naturally golden-auburn-brunette that changes color depending on what lighting is being used. I'm sort of a mix between Ann-Margret, Jackie Kennedy, and Emma Watson
Working with Me:
*I enjoy utilizing my body to be a sensual art form. I can't help it, I just gravitate towards the erotic. You will see that I put 100% emotion into my images, and can give you many different moods/emotions.
*I have dedicated my entire life to turning modeling into a career.
*I'm very responsive to music and rhythm while modeling
*I'm happy to work with photographers of all skill levels, and don't require any direction, though I am happy to take it. I promise you, I am easy to work with!
*I rock a mid-sized bush, which I find that most photographers prefer
*Unless stated otherwise, I will assume its a paid offer
I'm inspired by:
Open-minded individuals, travel, interactions with light, smoke & shadow, avant-garde cinema, classicism (I hold a BA in Art History, which has definitely influenced my poses and artistic preferences), mystery, erotic-retro smut, dark glamour, editorial styling. While much of my portfolio is nude work (I was raised on a nudist commune, and I couldn't be more comfortable with my body), I also held a brief stint as a fashion editor at a publication, and like to incorporate styling in with my nude shoots!
I'm pretty enthusiastic and bubbly. 2015 is going to be full of travel and I hope to have a full modeling calendar. I find it so fun and satisfying to be a part of creating beautiful images, so please don't hesitate in reaching out and proposing your ideas to me! I love connecting with people artistically and I'm extremely grateful to everybody that reaches out and supports me in my modeling endeavors!

We decided that we would drive about 3 hours and we ended up in Woodland, PA for the night. It is a nice campground with very friendly people.

I'm guessing that that tells something about the shortage of decent job opportunities in this area. Still, I'd say Tyrone has managed to keep its dignity through nearly a century of decline.

Littler: Westben, where voices are raised in a barn
Festival in Campbellford, Ont. is a family affair and more.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
CAMPBELLFORD—Blood continues to be thicker than water, at least near Campbellford, where one of Canada's foremost baritones teamed up musically with his piano-playing cousin last Sunday in a barn on the family farm.
The family farm by marriage, one should say. The 50 corn- and wheat-covered acres previously belonged to the Bennetts and before them the Wests, which explains why the festival that has taken place there each summer since the year 2000 carries the name Westben.
Pianist Brian Finley married soprano Donna Bennett, and his father was brother to baritone Gerald Finley's father, which is how the two younger men became cousins. But before this column turns into an exercise in genealogy, let it be said that the 400-seat barn, formally known as the Westben Arts Festival Theatre, houses much more than Finleys.
Indeed, Gerald, with his world-class career, was singing beneath its timbered roof — between engagements in Toronto and Massachusetts' Tanglewood Music Festival — for only the fourth time in the festival's history (although he did serve three years on its board of directors). And the fact that his mother was called upon to draw the winning ticket in the afternoon raffle was surely coincidental.
But we are getting genealogical again. What is so singular about Westben among Ontario music festivals is not only its origins as a family initiative but its ability to celebrate Canadian music-making at a high level in an out-of-the-way Northumberland County setting, two hours drive from Toronto.
This year's festival opened June 30 with the premiere of The Auction, a new Canadian folk opera by John Burge to a locally relevant libretto by Eugene Benson, concerned with the crisis surrounding the selling of a family farm.
Subsequent events (the festival runs until Aug. 5) have featured the Canadian Guitar Quartet, Quartetto Gelato, the Oliver Jones Trio and the Nathaniel Dett Chorale, among others, with last weekend's concerts including an opera program titled Mozart in Vienna.
Mozart in Vienna demonstrated, if you will forgive the rural metaphor, what a remarkable crop of singers Canada is producing these days, with its arias and duets from six operas sung by sopranos Virginia Hatfield and Donna Bennett, mezzo-soprano Elizabeth Turnbull, tenor James McLean and baritone Andrew Love, to consistently supportive piano accompaniments by Brian Jackson.
Yet as presentable as these singers were, there could be no doubt that the weekend's star was Gerald Finley, not only one of Canada's but one of the world's leading baritones, whose Sunday afternoon program turned out to be an exercise in versatility. Yes, there were the expected Mozart arias but the repertoire ranged from Handel to Rodgers and Hammerstein, with Bizet, Rossini and Verdi included along the way.
The Finley voice is clearly darkening, witness the black tones produced during Iago's Credo from Verdi's Otello, yet there seems to be no loss in elegance of phrasing, witness the suave way its owner tossed off the serenade from Mozart's Don Giovanni.
Moreover, how many other opera singers could have performed the soliloquy "My Boy Bill" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel with the clarity of diction, dramatic power and consistent musicality heard in the Westben barn? No wonder the capacity crowd leapt to their feet.
As for the other Finley, he not only supported his cousin expertly at the keyboard, he contributed a number of impressively played piano transcriptions to the program, as well as a preview of the opera he is composing for possible production at the 2014 festival.
Yes, Brian Finley is not only a pianist, stage and choral director and artistic and managing director of Westben, he has a list of instrumental and vocal compositions to his credit. And judging by the gently Mozartean character of "Rose's Letter Theme," the forthcoming opera, provisionally titled The Pencil Salesman, promises to be nothing if not listener friendly.
Although he and his soprano wife devote much of their year to running their $500,000 not-for-profit summer festival, they also organize community musical activities throughout the year when they are not themselves on tour. "I love being out here," Brian Finley insists. "It's a little like Tolstoy. You are away from everybody, away from forces trying to tell you what you should be. It's a garden for us."

This project provides high quality training in security and self defense for youths in Cameroon from a highly deprived community. With many family members in acute poverty and struggling to survive daily,they have few opportunities to improve their life and livelihood skills. The course includes a two-month training and placement in good security company;on completion they will be helped to secure a good job. Providing these youths secure employment will provide them a clear route out of poverty
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Youths from poor Cameroon community find it very difficult to get good jobs. Many end up unemployed or hustling for casual work on a daily basis. Most jobs are gained through word-of-mouth, but poor families don't know the right people. There are many jobs in security companies,but people from deprived communities don't get them. A decent job is the most powerful step to escaping poverty,and this project will provide youths the chance to get a good security training and job with a reputable firm
How will this project solve this problem?
This project will provide training in security and self defense to youths in a highly disadvantaged community. The course provides a well-recognized qualification and includes a 2 month placement in a high quality security company, enabling the youths to practice and improve the skills they have learned. The young people will then be recommended to reputable companies, giving them access to jobs they would not otherwise be considered for.
Potential Long Term Impact
50 youths will gain skills and a qualification in security. The placement will give them crucial work experience which will position them well for employment. Recommendations to future employers will open doors that usually remain firmly shut to youths from deprived communities. Having a steady job with a good employer will provide these youths a stable income and the potential for career progression, which will help to lift their whole family out of poverty.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $0

What is an Apse?
Hagia Irene in Istanbul (ancient Constantinople)
An apse is a rounded end of a building, most often a basilica or a church, but sometimes a private house or a Roman bath building. It just means that the end of the building is a semi-circle (half a circle) instead of being flat, like the wall of your house or school probably is.
Apses make a building look fancier, or more complicated. If you're going to be doing something important at one end of your building - like saying Mass at one end of a church, or judging court cases at one end of a basilica - then an apse makes that end of the building seem more important than the other end, so the people who are watching will know which way to look.

Most cyclists appreciate simplicity, which is why the Cateye Volt series headlights are just that. Instead of owning multiple lights for different riding conditions, why not just have one? The Volt 700 headlight packs 700 lumens of versatile lighting into a compact light, making it a great all-purpose headlight, and quite possibly the only headlight you need. Whether it's an evening road ride or an early morning commute, the Cateye Volt 700 runs on a large capacity 3100mAH Li-ion cartridge battery and features five different modes for varying conditions, making it a highly relied upon do-all headlight. The five lighting modes include: Dynamic, Normal, All-Night, Hyper-Constant and Flashing. The all-weather, high capacity Li-ion cartridge battery is conveniently recharged via USB, and has an up to 50 hours run time. The Volt 700 can be mounted on or under the handlebars or on the helmet; you decide!

TMS: Combiner Wars seems like it might offer more of a chance to examine the Metrotitan Caminus and the culture of his planet, being the only Transformers society (in the IDW continuity) to have developed gender. Or is that the kind of thing that might be left until after the event dust settles?
MS: Combiner Wars is going to be our first real introduction to the planet Caminus (where Windblade is from) and the 'Bots that live on it. It's also our first time meeting transformers who are completely unlike the ones from Cybertron. Camiens are proud, devout and desperately in need of help and we see how that affects their dealings with Autobots, Decepticons and Starscream himself.
In fact, we have an exclusive sneak peek at of one of the most important members of Camian society, the Mistress of Flame. The Mistress of Flame is the leader of the only faith on Caminus, The Way of Flame, which worships a female Prime said to be the mother of all Camiens. But fire can be as dangerous as it is helpful and the faith of Caminus burns hotter than any Cybertronian realizes.
TMS: And finally: Is Windblade combining with anyone in the series? Are we looking at a potential metrotitan combiner (several bots transforming into a single larger bot)?
MS: Now that would be telling. But there will be a brand new combiner in our series. Who it is and how it gets made are things you'll just have to read to find out.

Robots in Disguise is definitely a lighter, more comedic take on the Transformers universe. There's no ancient war being fought, meaning we can actually take the time to set-up a joke, and not feel guilty about it. Bee is front and center. Pptimus' status is more mysterious than sorrowful. And there's a younger, more inexperienced (aka less battle-weary) cast of characters.

ComicsAlliance: The amazing thing about Transformers vs. G.I. Joe for me as a reader is that it doesn't feel like it should exist, and I mean that in the best way possible. It has this feeling that there's no way this book should've been approved, because it's so wild, raw and energetic. How did you get that feeling to come across in this comic?
Tom Scioli: I don't know how you would get to that point with any kind of comic. Just from my perspective, I've been doing comics for such a long time and in such a way that's very different from the normal career path for comics, so I don't know how you replicate that. I don't know how many other people are out there that would be able to have that mix of discipline and self-destructive chaotic impulse to get that. I don't know, John? Do you have any perspective?
John Barber: To one degree or another, when you're working on something that's company-owned, you have to forget about that when you're working on it, and I think that degree varies. The whole idea was to make something kind of weird, that went out the window at some point. There was probably a minute early on where Michael Kelly, the guy we work with at Hasbro as their Director of Global Publishing, called and he was like, "This isn't exactly what we talked about." He loves the book, but at some point, the idea was going to be safer. It's not like there's anything unsafe about this, either, but you want to be able to point at it and say "here are these two things that we put together to make one thing," and I don't think you can do that with our book. I think that's what makes it interesting.
TS: I didn't really know how it was going to turn out either. It's a project where it's like "yeah, what would this thing be?" I know that when we first talked about in the beginning, we had that very basic idea of a Jack Kirby take on this sort of thing, but when you sit down to actually make it, all these other opportunities open up. All these other creative things take over, and it outgrows that initial idea. But then it sort of comes back to it. Early on, I thought I wanted to do something more serious than just a straight Jack Kirby rip-roaring adventure, but then it turned into that kind of rip-roaring adventure.
CA: Along those same lines, I'm a much bigger fan of Joe than Transformers, so most of the Transformers comics that I've read have been crossovers with G.I. Joe, and I don't think I've ever seen one that was structured like this, with the Joes going to Cybertron. Was that just an obvious thing that you'd never seen?
JB: That was there from the beginning. 100% of this comic is Tom at this point, and I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I expect that one day, Tom will just stop emailing me.
TS: [Laughs] I'll just send you the finish comic.
JB: Right. But every other Transformers/G.I. Joe comic, at least every one that I read, tried to drag Transformers to a realistic level and throw that into the G.I. Joe world. I thought the idea of blowing up G.I. Joe and making them science-fiction, having them live in the Transformers' world, was there. If anything, Cybertron was the one thing I really wanted to do. But it obviously came out much cooler in the comic than I would've thought of.

Already well respected for his nearly Quixotic attempts to bring sanity to the Transformers movie continuity, John Barber's tenure over IDW's mainline Transformers comics has been viewed as something of a renaissance period for the brand.
Besides writing a tense sci-fi political thriller in the form of Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Barber has also served as the editor of the award-winning Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye as well as the Transformers: Windblade mini-series. Since then he's added even more to his plate by writing Angry Birds Transformers and co-writing the latest Transformers vs. G.I. Joe series.
As the man behind one of my favorite shared universes in comics, I've been eager to meet Mr. Barber for some time. Little did I know how deep we'd get into the current Transformers line-up.
Mr. Barber was incredibly gracious with his time and considerable knowledge so please enjoy and, if so inclined, check out the newly renamed The Transformers #35, on sale today!
N: One thing that I was definitely curious about is that one of the weird figures for IDW in Transformers has been Galvatron, in that you couldn't fall back on a G1 interpretation.
B: Yeah.
N: But so he was kind of Nova Prime's Starscream for a while and then he kind of had this very 'glorious leader against D-Void' period. What made you settle on 'Galvatron the Barbarian' for your take?
B: I was kind of intrigued by the story that Simon [Furman] had set up of these characters being of a different age, y'know? These people that were there, that took off on the original Ark? I just kind of latched onto this idea of, 'what was society like before they had the Golden Age?' For me, it went back to doing the Robots in Disguise Annual and I had this idea of like Game of Thrones with Transformers, of this idea of these different tribes. And I played with that actually a bit in the movie universe stuff, but it was different in the main line stuff.
And Galvatron was one of those characters, kind of like Soundwave, where even within the IDW universe different writers had radically different takes on where he was. So, thinking about how you can sort of unify those, what kind of person would do all that stuff? And I came to the idea of 'what if Galvatron's kind of Conan' and you had this guy who's kind of really a rough guy, really a barbarian, but who becomes king?
"Galvatron was one of those characters where different writers had radically different takes. So, thinking about how you can sort of unify those, what kind of person would do all that stuff?"
I mean the story of Conan isn't just Conan the Barbarian. There's all these eras of Conan as he goes on; he eventually is King Conan. And the idea that Galvatron kind of went through all that, so he's been different places in his life, appealed to me. And, in [issue #34] we'll get kind of a larger grasp of how those early days with him and Nova functioned. We'll be seeing some stuff, that I think may be surprising to some people, that we sort of hinted at. There're definitely some hints that have been going on, but some of the ancient Cybertronian lore and history is gonna come up.
But, in short, it's kind of the idea of this guy who, in his own mind, he's noble, but it isn't the usual nobility you get from a villain because he's really, really brutal and he's- he's- like he's genuinely not a nice guy, y'know, where, Soundwave, to me, he's the good guy Decepticon.
N: Yeah.
B: Like he's the guy that genuinely believes in the Decepticon cause and everything they had to do that was bad was a compromise that he had to make to a greater end goal, where Galvatron isn't like that. He's less compromising, but much more brutal and, like, the underlying…like-
N: He doesn't feel like a guy who's like thinking very much into the future.
B: Yeah. Like he does in his way. So, there are moments where you're going to see him kind of doing stuff toward a larger goal, but it's a very distinct, direct barbarian way of doing it. He's not doing the Machiavellian playing guys off of each other the way Starscream does. Even when he does like straight up lie, his duplicity is a little more honest.
Just taking a step aside from Robots in Disguise for a second, I was just curious. You are not only a writer, but you're an editor for IDW.
B: Yes.
N: As someone with that very unique experience, what do you think that -whether it be professionals, aspiring, anywhere in the process – what do you think that writers need to know about editors and editors need to know about writers? You have seen both sides.
B: That's a good question. Ideally, everybody's out to make a good comic. And there are good fits with writers and editors, y'know?
It's funny because I have friends on both sides of the table. So, every once in a while you'll sort of hear somebody, a friend of mine, complaining about, y'know, that editor didn't work out. Then there'll be people who are having a great relationship with that editor. So it's like any other relationship in life. There are fits and there are non-fits.
When you're putting a creative team together for a comic, it's sort of like putting a band together, y'know? Like everybody has to get along. You have to know what parts everybody's playing and what everybody's doing. On the Transformers books we're really lucky, everybody gets along really well, I think, between James, me, Mairghread, Chris Metzen, Flint Dille, plus like Alex Milne, Andrew, Livio, Sarah, everybody; we all interact really well.

Later this month, writer Shane McCarthy returns to the samurai Transformer he created in "Drift: Empire of Stone," a four-issue mini-series from IDW Publishing with artist Guido Guidi. As a former Decepticon who found sanctuary with the Autobots, Drift is currently on a journey of self-discovery, attempting to discover his place in the Galaxy. Along with Autobot medic Ratchet, who is along for the ride to help clear Drift's name from a wrongful accusation, Drift will go through what McCarthy describes as "buddy cop meets space adventure."
The writer discussed re-visiting his samurai Transformer in the new IDW mini-series "Drift: Empire of Stone," revealing why Drift finds himself without alliances yet again, his feelings on Michael Bay's interpretation of the character in "Transformers: Age of Extinction" (and why it was "bordering on offensive") and more.
CBR News: Shane, what's the main story behind "Drift: Empire of Stone?"
Shane McCarthy: "Empire of Stone" takes place after Drift was booted off the Lost Light and sent on his way into the galaxy. It's about what he's been doing while he's been gone and how he's trying to be relevant and find his place in the galaxy now he's neither Autobot or Decepticon. Knowing Drift was wrongly accused, Ratchet comes looking for him to bring him back and the two become well and truly caught up in something from Drift's days as a Decepticon. While Drift is trying to save the galaxy, Ratchet is attempting to save Drift from himself. Buddy cop meets space adventure.
Are you coordinating your story at all with IDW "Transformers" architects John Barber or James Roberts? Will it connect to either "Robots in Disguise" or "More than Meets the Eye?"
Nothing beyond having John as my editor, no. John let me know what happened prior to "Empire of Stone" and I read up on Drift's appearances but, outside of that John's left me completely alone. He's a great guy to work with. Whilst the mini series takes place after the events on the Lost Light, the mini doesn't connect with the major books.
What's it like working with artist Guido Guidi?
Working with Gui is always a treat. He's a great artist! As I was writing up "Empire of Stone" I was sending Guido ideas and letting him know what characters I'd be using that he'd need to design. As the scripts start coming through to him he sends through sketches and pages for John and I to look at. It's like Christmas every time. I really enjoy working with Guido a lot and was over the moon when I found out we'd be able to work together. He was the one guy I really wanted for this and it's fantastic to come together to work on the character we created.

Let's first talk about your recent work on the new "Transformers Universe" game. What inspired you to get involved with the project? What has impressed you most about working on this game?
JH: I enjoyed Transformers as a child and I'm just one of those people who finds it difficult not to get excited by large, warring robots. I particularly like how they're partially organic as well and have such distinctive personalities. Basically, I'm a sucker for the mythic theme of 'good vs. evil'; not to mention being a sci-fi and fantasy buff in general.
Did you also take some inspiration from the music that composers such as Steve Jablonsky and Brian Tyler wrote for the films and animated television series that would help make your score fit in the Transformers Universe musically?
JH: Not specifically, although I love the work of those composers. I was merely trying to, on one level, create music that fit into the wider world of Transformers (which is already very varied across film and television over decades now) but with a new dimension as well. Some of the music of Transformers Universe is pretty harsh, grinding and mechanical, yet at other times it can be quite minimal and ethereal. The team at Jagex have also been working on music, and their output is also varied, a reflection perhaps of the fact that the Transformers themselves have wildly different personalities.
What were the recording sessions like?
JH: Very nice and we recorded the Philharmonia at Abbey Road Studios in London for some of the music. It is always a humbling and breathtaking experience to have your music performed by a full orchestra and the level of musicianship among players in London is truly outstanding.
Will a soundtrack album be released?
JH: Very possibly, but I have no details.

n Cambridge, the city where the studio is based, the tasks aren't quite as mystical, but as Jagex head of IT Barry Zubel told Computing, their completion will reap rewards for both developers and players as the studio prepares to launch its next blockbuster title: Transformers Universe.
"Our biggest project is virtualisation and that's going to be a big winner for us," he said, describing how "we've historically not virtualised anything operationally" due to the limits it would put on game performance – but that's changing.
"The closer we can push the game servers to our customers, the better the connectivity," said Zubel, who added that while RuneScape is able to function on high latency connections, the upcoming Transformers Universe isn't so tolerant, so Jagex has been attempting to install servers nearer to players.
"Transformers is a little less forgiving because of the game that it is, so we've been looking at placing servers in places where players will be," he said.

Info & Phones News Reviews › Forum
Master Reset?
3 Month Virgin User -- I QUIT!
Obviously, this is a cheap phone service with not the best reception, nor the best selection of phones. If you need top of the range reception and a top of the range phone, obviously go to Verizon, etc. and get a Blackberry, etc... Everyone who goes to Virgin is, I presume, looking for a no frills company with no frills phones and cheap monthly bills.
With that in mind, here is my experience.
I selected Virgin because I thought they had cheaper phones than MetroPCS, and more coverage area. (Im in LA, CA). I got an LG slider phone with qwerty keyboard (forgot the model#) which works OK for what it is. ...
new plans and phones
AD more discussions below...
I called Virgin Mobile the other day and asked what new phones they would be offering. He wouldn't say, but I believe that they are coming out with the Kyocera Torino very soon, and perhaps a higher-end touch screen phone. I have the Rumor2 now and really like it, but I like the form factor of the Torino...more Blackberry-like. Since Boost Mobile has really beefed up its line to include the Blackberry, it's only a matter of time before Virgin follows suit.
Does anyone have any new info about releases and dates?
DOes any one think?

Virgin Mobile Obamaphone?
While this may earn them and Sprint brownie points, it makes our Virgin phones look like ghetto phones and I'm not happy about this at all.
Have you guys heard anything about this? They seems to be keeping it quiet but the story is leaking out.
How do you feel about people looking at your phone like its a ghetto accessory or something from a trailer park?
I don't like it!
rumor 2
please complete this survey
Can i use a usb cord on my X-tc Virgin Mobile and music will go to my music player?
Anyone else having texting problems??
If there are none available, does anybody know if a phone from Sprint or Verizon can be flashed to work with Virgin? And as a last resort, can I use a Virgin Mobile Canada phone (Blackberry or the such) on a US Virgin Mobile plan?
Any advice would be appreciated. I am trying to find a decent prepaid plan with unlimited voice and data...having little to no results.
Cell problem
I don't know if it's a feature I have overlooked, bad battery, being locked onto a bad cell tower or just the phone itself that has gone bad.
It started about three days ago.
1. Incoming calls go straight to voicemail.
2. Outcalls get a busy signal and I get a message pop-up saying 'Bad Service' (something like that)
3. This happens daily, but not always, but more than I like.
Don't know If this happened to someone else and can be fixed or should I just drop the $20.00 for a new phone.
Any thoughts?
