The last week before Mid-Ohio was not what I expected. I had hoped to have lots of time to assemble the second engine, then get both engines started. That didn't happen.
Before last year's Mid-Ohio race I decided to rebuild the brakes and change the brake fluid to DOT5 because it is easy to find and I didn't know for certain which o-rings had been used (wrong o-ring with wrong fluid could be very bad). Due to my mistakes rebuilding the left caliper, it was not a good result (see prior posts). After rebuilding the calipers all I needed to do was bleed them, but it just would not work.... bubbles would not go away...even with the kart standing upright against the wall for 24 hours. Very frustrating!
Also, I did not like the look of the left caliper. The space between the puck housing and the platter was not consistent which made me think it would pinch. The brake system on the Hartman frame had been set up for the mineral oil RED fluid, so I decided to replace the left caliper and both master cylinders with those. Disassemble, clean, dry, buy o-rings, change o-rings, reassemble, install, bleed. All that took most of a day. And the bleed was still not working. ARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!
Then on what should have been packing day I decided to call Rick Chapman about the clutch sprocket being angles differently from the axle sprocket. They were visibly off.
|The sprocket on clutch was off about 2 degrees
|Level on Axle
|Level on engine mount -- high to the right
I had noticed about half the shoe material a clutch arm was missing. It worked fine last year but still wanted to replace it. I found a piece of old shoe material on a vintage, unused arm. To use it I had to drill out the rivets, then rivet it into place on the good arm. I went through all this because after last year I contacted Steve O'Hara and asked him to check out video of the four-cycling and he suggested I add four teeth to the sprocket and also add weight to the clutch arms. The sprockets came at Christmas and then I added three washers to each arm.
With that done, I finally got to packing which went on until near midnight.
We were fortunate to be able to use HI-LO camper borrowed from friends in order to stay at the track... right in front of the garage...and save hotel money.
Practice day Friday morning was wonderful... just roll out of bed and walk 20 steps to the garage. No 4a.m. alarm, hotel breakfast, and 30 minute drive to the track. After the 7:30a.m. drivers meeting I spent the morning safety wiring the brakes and bleeding the brakes. Bleeding was still not working well, so I asked Rick and Colm Higgins. Colm suggested replacing a brake line which had a coupling in the middle of it, so I did the change with a piece from... Rick. I had been trying to do the bleeding as shown in earlier posts, but it just would not work. Rick suggested bleeding the old way... like on a car... takes two people... pump peddle-crack bleeder-let out air-close-pump-until all air is out. Pam helped and it was done in under five minutes. Finally, I was all ready and only missed a couple practice sessions.
Rick started the kart at the garage just to make sure it would fire. It actually idled! After we pushed down to the grid, Pam used the new starter to start me...fired right off and the engine was strong... until I headed down the pits... and it slowly sputtered and died. I was very frustrated... The next practice session I set the needles to my normal settings and it was very strong down the pits and onto the track, up the hill and around the Keyhole. Then down the back stretch it four-cycled, as normal, then strong up the Roller-Coaster to the left hander. CLANG-CLANG-CLANG... Just like last year...Chain off again... same spot!!! I had to wait out that practice behind the guardrail.
The new sprocket hub must have moved! I tightened the crap out of that thing and added thread-lock to it. Back at the garage I was cleaning the grass off and studying the dang sprocket hub. The space between the sprocket and the tire seemed not to have changed... but.. but.. that doesn't make sense. DING!! then it all became clear: The motor mount had moved! All the problems last year and this year were due to FORGETTING to put locking collars on the axle on either side of the engine mount when I rebuilt the axle bearings OVER A YEAR AGO! I looked through early photos from the kart restoration blog and found this photo of Dad's finger... explaining locking collars!
|That is Dad's finger, the motor mount, and one of two locking collars - during disassembly
UGHHHHHHHH!!!! I felt so stupid. Another huge, big lesson. Then I spent a while walking around to different garages asking and begging for two 1" locking collars. Finally, I found ONE in Rick's stash and just moved one already on the axle over about 1/8". The mount is not moving now!!! It was about this time Rick suggested I retire this kart and engine to upgrade to the Hartman and a Yamaha. He told the same thing to Pam after she expressed her frustrations.
|Is that a locking collar...YES!
I got out one session and it ran great and the chain did not come off!!! That was all for Friday. Lots of frustration, but things got worked out. That's what practice days are for, right?!
Saturday started like Friday... roll out and go to the garage. After the driver's meeting I was getting the kart ready in the garage and saw my brother Steve trying to find a parking place, just before the first practice. I pushed down to the pits while Pam was still getting ready and a karter (Low Budget Racing) from the next group started me just as Steve walked up. A practice without a hitch!!! After I pulled in and got parked in the pits, I greeted Steve then tried to be a real karter by "cutting the plug" to check how rich the fuel mixture was. Maybe just a bit rich. Steve tried to start me for the next session but it would not fire... In the excitement I had not tightened the spark plug!! With that taken care of I was able to get out a little.
Just before my first race Pam left to see her family nearby in Columbus.
I was all ready for my first race, which was Race 2, in the Vintage USA Piston Port class for 100cc engines. This class combines the vintage McCulloch engines and vintage foreign engines, but, as always, we are in with modern karts. This class was affectionately called the Geriatric Ward!
It started right up on and pulled great off the line and up the hill. Being the slowest and last kart off the grid, I had a great view of dozens of karts heading into the Keyhole - dodging and weaving for position. I ran two laps very strong, then I in anticipation of the four-cycling on the back straight, I leaned it out, but the needle felt like it had moved. I tweaked it going down the straight but had to stop at the right hand turn heading up the Roller-Coaster... but the throttle did not get any response and by the top of the hill all I could hear was the piston - fooop foooop fooooop foooooop foooop. OH Crap!! I finally stuck it!! So again I watched the rest of the race from the same spot... last year when the chain came off.
Back at the garage I told Steve all about it... running great... getting hot temps... loose needle. I was thinking about pulling the engine when he suggested we see it would start. Fired right off!! Thank the LORD!!! I was so relieved... so we pulled the Hi needle and I got out the needle gaskets and talked about it over lunch. Before the next race we consulted with Rick on the needle gaskets, which he said to double up. Then I told him there was gunk in the fuel line. I showed him an in-line gas filter I got from Comet Kart Sales and asked if it was good idea? He asked if the engine was being effected? "No." Then he asked if I wanted to get rid of the gunk? "Yes." "Then close your eyes!" he said back. He reemphasized what he had told me several times... "don't over think it!" and "if it's working, don't touch it!" So we went back to garage and relaxed. Pam got back in time for the second race. As we waited I got up to do something to the kart and Pam shouted, "NO TINKERING!!"
|Waiting in line for the scales after the race. John Copeland just ahead.
I started strong, worked with the Hi needle every lap, and finished strong!! Seeing friends and family cheering on the wall is sooo enjoyable!! It ran so very strong, but I had to watch the temperature. But I noticed the heat depended on the type of track I was on and how aggressive I was. A-HA! I figured out I could lean the Hi needle on the back stretch then clean out the carb before the turn to get the power back. After the race lots of people gave me congratulations and we hung out with Mike and Deana in the garage. He had lots of questions... which I was happy to answer!! He seemed to really enjoy this new experience. I enjoyed getting to know him a bit better.
After they left Pam made spaghetti, and we had a few hours of talking with Steve before he headed home. It was so very enjoyable to have him there to share the experience. It's nostalgic but very different as adults. And living several states apart, it was the most time we have spent together in decades.
|Steve and Me from last year
Sunday started like the other days, but before the first practice Rick asked how it was running. I told him about tweaking with the Hi needle, but he seemed not to like me doing that. He leaned down and turned both needles ever so slightly... probably 1/16th! Every lap was very strong and NO four-cycling on the back stretch!! Just that much changed the whole day.
Race 1 was very strong!! I did richen the mixture just a bit to keep the temp down, but my best times decreased by FOUR SECONDS!! VERY FUN!!! I was able to draft with a slow kart from the Briggs and Stratton class until I had to worry about temps.
As we were on the grid for Race 2, I looked down and saw a clutch cover bolt sticking out!! YIKES!! Then another bolt was missing!! Thankfully, Mark d'Elia ran to his pit and brought back spare parts and tools. THANK YOU, MARK!!! Although "NO TINKERING!" is our new catch phrase, we found out there is some necessary tinkering between races. A couple people suggested that I use Lock-tite on the bolts, but I told them that I did! That probably meant the clutch was super hot and melted the Lock-tite.
The whole race the engine still was pulling strong but I could feel heat on my shoulder and the readings were getting up to 400*F and beyond. I wanted to finish so I allowed the engine to relax on the backstretch a bit. And I did finish!! That was 3 out of 4 finishes!! Amazing how well it all runs when the kinks are worked out!!
Then it was clean up time. We packed up and headed to the hotel for a relaxing evening and nice, hot, long (and private) showers. AAAhhhhhhhhh!!
It the started out with some frustrations but ended up very well. The Dart Kart Club offered a Package which I took advantage of: one price and I was able to get a Pit pass, Friday practice, and any race I could enter. I doubled my races and saved some money. Thanks DKC!!
Before last year's season, Dart Kart Club decided to quit WKA and go with AKRA as the sanctioning body. I really like the leaders. The seem to genuinely want enduro/road racing to flourish. This year they invited CES (Championship Enduro Series) from the Illinois-Oklahoma-Kansas area to Mid-Ohio. They were set up in massive party tents in the paddock.
With the bolts being loose or missing, I was afraid the clutch oil would be all gone, causing the hi temps. After getting home I pulled the clutch cover and discovered most of the oil remained. Burnt and smelly!! But some of the new shoe was missing... ground to a pulp by the rotating arms. There were some chunks but most of it was a powder in the oil. No wonder the clutch was hot! Friction Friction Friction!!!
I am carefully considering Rick's suggestion about putting Dad's Red Devil on the wall... it's a real trophy... for all the work with Dad, to all the races... finished and unfinished. I have pulled the Hartman kart out and placed it on stands next to the Red Devil. I can't wait to see what happens next...

Also when I'm turning slowly it feels like right side is skipping or has slack. Could it be my CV joint?
another maxima 2011 and it still had the problem the rear end feels so loose when its raining you almost don't want to drive it tire pressures are all 32psi tires are in the green just had it inspected pasted no problems I have driven many different vehicles and never had one that handled this poorly in the rain I am in sales and put about 22k on my vehicle a year anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening??
This will not be covered by insurance, due to deductible... Paying cash.
Some say after 7500 miles and some say about 2 years because it has platinum plugs
I have a 2011 Maxima with 15000 miles on it. I purchased it brand new with 41 miles. When the road is wet(any at all) my car consistantly fishtails. I have new tires so I wouldnt think that is the problem. It does it so badly that I am affraid to drive it unless its a sunny day and I paid 32000.00 cash for this car it shouldnt be doing this. Anyone have a clue

text: Of all the things you worry about in any given day, how often do you think of your car's tires? Are they too worn to drive on? Are they properly inflated? According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 33,000 injuries and 600 deaths per year can be tied to under-inflated tires. A whopping 84% of tire-related insurance claims involve tires that are at least six years old. Tire maintenance is obviously something we neglect. Here is absolutely everything you need to know about taking care of your tires to ensure your safety on the road.

NASCAR driver Joey Gase surprises patients at Niswonger Children's Hospital
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - NASCAR driver Joey Gase lost his mother to a sudden brain aneurysm in 2011 and knew how important it was to her to donate her organs.
Gase spent Wednesday morning surprising patients, signing autographs and remembering his mother Mary Jo at Niswonger Children's Hospital.
"That was pretty cool," says patient Chloe.
During his tours, Gase says he makes it point to let people know just how important organ donation is to his family.
"If it wasn't for awareness, a lot of people wouldn't know about organ donation. There's still a lot of people that don't, so the more awareness we can get out there, the more donors we can get and the more lives we can save," says Gase.
Wednesday, he presented the Mary Jo Gase Volunteer Appreciation Award to John Caso of Johnson City, who has been waiting for a heart, and also helps to raise organ donation awareness. Gase says spending his time off the track is a great way to brighten someone's day.
"When we make them smile, we know that we're making their day just a little bit better," adds Gase.
Joey Gase will race in car number 52 on Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Twitter is testing a new feature that shows information about trending TV shows in some users' streams. Twitter user @asg spotted the trending boxes in the Twitter iOS app yesterday evening, but the boxes don't yet appear to be a widely available feature. Each trending box includes a show's season and episode, what time it airs and on which network, and related tweets.
We've known for a while that Twitter is keen on bolstering its TV-related features, both to attract advertisers and boost user engagement. Earlier this month, Twitter partnered with Nielsen to introduce a new ratings scale called the Nielsen Twitter TV Rating, which aims to create a correlation between a show's ratings and how many people are tweeting about it on Twitter.

Sir John's Room
Sir John, or Uncle Jack as he was more commonly known, designed this room when it was reclaimed from the cellars in 2005. It has beautiful views of Glaslough lake. It seemed a fitting location for someone who'd lived in a cell within a remote Italian monastery without electricity for 35 years. The somewhat surprising glitter ball in the bathroom reflects the love he had of 'boom boom' music.

CRI's new website that seeks to engage, educate, and empower patients and their loved ones to learn more about cancer immunotherapy as a treatment option across numerous tumor types.
Cancer patients, donors, scientists, and other supporters all stand behind the Cancer Research Institute. Read their stories and learn about what motivates each of us to keep fighting against cancer.
By running in a marathon or hosting a bake sale, you can make a real difference for our scientists in the fight against cancer and allow them to bring newer immunotherapies to more patients.
We gratefully accept donations made in memory or in honor of a loved one. Your gift will be acknowledged to whomever you specify.
A $1 million challenge to spur innovative solutions to challenges in cancer immunotherapy research.
Curious about the latest developments in cancer immunotherapy research? Listen in as leading scientists discuss immune-based treatments across numerous cancer types in our free "Cancer Immunotherapy and You" webinar series.
When the Cancer Research Institute was founded in 1953, we knew then that immune-based treatments would transform cancer medicine. In more than six decades since, we've made numerous groundbreaking discoveries that have given more patients new hope today.
Are you a patient or caregiver? Visit our website TheAnswerToCancer.org for more information on immunotherapy for prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, and the eighth leading cause of cancer-related death. Globally, there are approximately 1,100,000 new cases and 300,000 mortalities every year, comprising nearly 4 percent of all cancer deaths. It is estimated that 1 in every 7 men will be diagnosed with the disease during his lifetime.
Initial treatment for prostate cancer may consist of localized treatments (surgery and/or radiation), systemic treatments (hormone therapy ± chemotherapy [docetaxel]), or any combination of each. Hormone therapy consists of lowering the levels of testosterone, the male hormone that fuels out-of-control cell growth. Chemotherapy is typically reserved for metastatic cancers.
Current experimental immunotherapies for prostate cancer fall into seven broad categories: therapeutic vaccines, oncolytic virus therapies, checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapies, adjuvant immunotherapies, cytokines, and monoclonal antibodies.
Therapeutic cancer vaccines are designed to elicit an immune response against tumor-specific or tumor-associated antigens, encouraging the immune system to attack cancer cells bearing these antigens.
One therapeutic vaccine is FDA approved: sipuleucel-T (Provenge®) for prostate cancer. Provenge was approved after a large, phase III trial showed an average survival improvement of more than 4 months. It is the first therapeutic vaccine approved for any type of cancer. Provenge is a dendritic cell-based therapeutic cancer vaccine. It is designed to induce an immune response targeted against the prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) antigen, which is expressed in most prostate cancers. Studies have shown that Provenge has very few side effects, and ongoing research is devoted to improving its therapeutic effectiveness.
Aside from Provenge, vaccines in clinical trials include:
CRI Impact: After completing his CRI Postdoctoral Fellowship at Stanford University in 1993, Curtis L. Ruegg, Ph.D., joined Dendreon as a staff scientist. In 1995, he established the protein science group and led Dendreon's program to produce and characterize novel protein pharmaceuticals as cancer vaccine candidates. His work resulted in several patents on which he is co-inventor, which laid the key groundwork for the development of Provenge[1].
Oncolytic virus therapy uses a modified virus that can cause tumor cells to self-destruct, in the process generating a greater immune response against the cancer.
Another promising avenue of clinical research in prostate cancer is the use of checkpoint inhibitors. These treatments work by targeting molecules that serve as checks and balances in the regulation of immune responses. By blocking inhibitory molecules or, alternatively, activating stimulatory molecules, these treatments are designed to unleash and/or enhance pre-existing anti-cancer immune responses.
Another major avenue of immunotherapy for prostate cancer is adoptive cell therapy. In this approach, immune cells are removed from a patient, genetically modified or treated with chemicals to enhance their activity, and then re-introduced into the patient with the goal of improving the immune system's anti-cancer response.
Adjuvants are substances that boost the immune response. They can be used alone or combined with other immunotherapies.
Monoclonal antibodies are molecules, generated in the lab, that target specific antigens on tumors. Many antibodies are currently used in cancer treatment, and some appear to generate an immune response.
Cytokines are messenger molecules that help control the growth and activity of immune system cells.
Go to our Clinical Trial Finder to find clinical trials of immunotherapies for prostate cancer that are currently enrolling patients.
Since 1996, CRI has made 95 grants in support of projects and initiatives with relevance for prostate cancer, totaling nearly $26.5 million. This includes nearly $9 million for preclinical and clinical studies undertaken as part of CRI's Prostate Cancer Initiative, established in 1996 to identify and support clinical research projects promising the most immediate benefit to patients, as well as to support prostate cancer patient outreach and to increase awareness about this disease among the public.
Some work and recent findings by CRI investigators that are advancing the understanding and treatment of prostate cancer include:
Cancer Research Institute has also developed materials for prostate cancer patients, and funds ZERO, a national nonprofit organization with the mission to end prostate cancer, through its patient support program.

With a review in April of last year, another one this past July, and an entry in my year-end "best of" 2007 list, I could be accused of being a
shill for big fan of Umphrey's McGee, but there are few bands in rock who combines musicianship, melody and humor as well as these guys from Chicago. If you're a big fan, too, then you'll be thrilled to know that on January 20, their next proper release, Mantis, hits the streets. In the band's eleven-year history, Mantis will be their first album of all-new material, never before performed live. Check back on this space for a full review right around Inauguration Day.
For now, though, the story is about UM's clever way that they've juiced up pre-order interest in the upcoming release. "We wanted to do something special for the fans, make this release as exciting for them as it is for us," explains Umphrey's McGee's Jake Cinninger. "We wanted to put the reins in their hands, get them involved in spreading the word about the album, and give the release a human touch by giving the fans more. It's the give and take between us and the fans that makes it possible for us to tour and grow as a band; the fans play an important role in everything we do."
Here's how it works: there are a total of 45 bonus audio tracks tacked on to Mantis, consisting of outtakes, alternate recordings and live tracks. There are also videos, behind-the-scenes perspectives, videos, and "plenty of quirky surprises." How many of those extra tracks are unlocked on the CD depends on the amount of pre-orders. There are a total of eight levels of bonus material to unlock and, thus far, fans have brought it up to level six. Once the release date arrives, there will be no more unlocking of these tracks; it will remain frozen at whatever level is reached at that time.
Oh, and that's not it, folks. Only pre-order customers will get all the unlocked levels, or Part One, of the bonus material. Part Two, available on all Mantis CDs, uses that same PUSH(tm) technology from Digital Insert to enable CD owners to receive new content (as it becomes available) throughout 2009. The CD will deliver that content by acting as a key when inserted into a CD-ROM drive, accessing fresh material from an Umphreys.com micro-site.
Pretty slick, huh? That's the kind of technologically savvy stuff you might expect from a band who has for years been hosting, on their own UMLive.net, every show for downloads and podcasts as well as two 75-minute episodes of live performances each month. Now with the anticipated unveiling of Mantis, they've taken their game to a another level.
To learn about the unlocking status and more info on this unique promotion, visit their Mantis sub-site.Powered by Sidelines

I am currently a T32 postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown Medical School. My early research experiences working at New York Presbyterian Hospital and as an undergraduate at Cornell University, my graduate school training at American University, and my pre-doctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at Brown Medical School have provided a strong background for pursuit of my long-term career goal of developing a program of research focused on innovative, technologically- sophisticated interventions to improve and advance the treatment of bipolar disorder (BD). My research and clinical focus has been on BD, depression, and dysphoria for ten years, and I have completed numerous projects using ecological momentary assessment paradigms. The pilot study proposed in this K23 application aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary evidence for efficacy of an innovative intervention designed to improve treatment adherence in BD. The intervention, My Treatment (MyT), will draw from psychoeducational and cognitive-behavioral principles to target gaps in knowledge and beliefs about illness and treatment that serve as risk factors for non-adherence. MyT will be provided using an Ecological Momentary Intervention paradigm, via personal digital assistants. We hypothesize that MyT will result in improved treatment adherence, decreased mood symptoms, and a lower rate of psychiatric re-hospitalization. We also expect that certain momentary factors (e.g., negative automatic thoughts about illness and treatment) will predict short-term treatment adherence behaviors. The proposed research training and pilot study are definitive steps towards developing one of the first interventions designed specifically to improve treatment adherence in BD. During the course of this award, I will focus on the following training areas: Psychosocial Interventions to Improve Treatment Adherence, Ecological Momentary Interventions, Clinical Trials Methodology, Focused Clinical Experiences in BD, Advanced Research Methods and Statistical Techniques, Manuscript and Grant- Writing, and Research Ethics and the Responsible Conduct of Research. Training activities will include a combination of regularly-scheduled consultation and collaboration with mentors and consultants, coursework, directed readings, workshops, tutorials, scientific meetings, clinical experiences, and committee participation. The primary site for this award will be the Psychosocial Research Program of the Brown Medical School Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Butler Hospital. Cited by an external panel of peers as one of the seven benchmark academic Departments of Psychiatry in the country, the activities of the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior are extensive and diverse. The Department has over 80 faculty members who are currently principal investigators on over 220 research studies, funded by more than 50 external sources. It is one of the leading centers for longitudinal and interventions research in the country.
The pilot study proposed in this K23 Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award is a definitive step towards developing one of the first interventions designed specifically to improve treatment adherence in bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder ranks in the top ten causes of disability worldwide and is associated with treatment non-adherence rates of up to 65%. A successful outcome to the study would likely make a significant positive public health impact by enhancing treatment outcomes, decreasing suffering, and improving functioning in BD, reducing treatment costs, and increasing treatment accessibility, thereby ultimately reducing public health burden.

"More than 820 students--or about 40 percent of the student body--participated in the contest this year..."
"More than 90 judges volunteered…"
What an amazing activity. To gain the involvement and support of all those students is something to applaud. My congratulations to each student that participated and also a HUGE Thank You to all the judges involved.
There are so many good and wonderful things going on in this community. And THIS is EXACTLY the kind of story I come to the Pleasanton Weekly to read.

Middlesbrough 2 Crystal Palace 1
KEEPING A PROMOTED CLUB IN THE top flight of English football has been likened in its complexity to rocket science, which, if true, should prove little problem to Iain Dowie, the Crystal Palace manager, who boasts a degree in aeronautical engineering. However, the fact that Palace have been relegated after each of their three previous seasons in the Premiership, would appear to make the physics of space travel something of a doddle in comparison to the task facing one of the more likeable managers in the game.
Rather like King Canute, Dowie fully understands the difficulty of the task in

The game involves exploring the strange world you've found yourself in, and reuniting your friends.
VVVVVV explores one simple game mechanic: you cannot jump - instead, you reverse your own gravity at the press of a button. The game focuses on playing with this mechanic in a variety of interesting ways.
The game is designed not to artificially gate your progress. In VVVVVV there are no locks, no power-ups, no switches, nothing to stop you progressing except the challenges themselves.

Worth it!
This game only took me 3 hours to complete, but I find this game well worth $5. It reminds me of old school video games with the graphics and music which it think is adorable. The game runs very smoothly and is definitely replayable. The game gets consistantly harder, but I was rarely actually frustrated with it. It has a cute storyline as well. I love that the map is large, making sure you explore it all to find all of the crew members. I think they could even possibly expand it and add some more members! Overall, I'd agree with all the other reviews telling you to just buy it!
Beautifully Nostalgic!!!
Since all of the other review are just telling you to BUY IT without any further details, I will try to explain it for the people, like me, that just stumbled upon this game in the mac app store...
In this game you are a "captain" of a space ship of some kind. Something terrible goes wrong and sends you and your crew members into a different dimension.
You have find everyone and somehow peice you ship back together (I think?)...
This game seems like a tribute to the style of video games in the 80s. From the 8bit graphics, to the circuit bent music/sound, to the cheesy storyline and script... It's litterally like an 80's throwback game, but it's not sluggish or glitchy like games from the 80's, instead it plays very smooth and FAST!
That all being said, every other reviewer is absolutely correct! BUY THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!
If you were any kind of gamer in the 80s, not buying this game could potentially destroy anything left of that kid inside you...
Extremely Impressive.
The Mechanics of the game take a little bit to get use to (your character moves very fast) but it's highly addictive. Currently I'm stuck at the last crewmember but its an amazing game for the price and diserves a download if you're a fan of retro gaming. I like to think the game was based on the superve chiptunes soundtrack. You might get frustrated at some parts but if your a vet to Megaman or Ninja Gaiden this will be a snap. What I would like to see is some new map packs coming out, and maybe a few more hints on where exactly to go in some areas (the world in the game is pretty big and not linear).

Wolverhampton Wanderers 1 Millwall 1
If the honeymoon is anything to go by, Mark McGhee's marriage to Wolves may prove to be the kind of ill-fated affair copyrighted by the House of Windsor. The Molineux side picked up their first point under his management yesterday, but failed to cross the threshold to the victory they must have anticipated at half-time.
At that stage they led through a quite stunning goal by Steve Bull, and Millwall had shown few signs of snapping out of a five-match losing streak. In the second half, however, Mick McCarthy's team dominated with the kind of football McGhee has pledged to introduce at Wolves and Chris Malkin's equaliser was no more than they deserved.
In his programme column McGhee had reiterated his belief that Wolves could yet win promotion. Although the First Division campaign is only at the half-way stage, it looks a fanciful if not forlorn hope: the pre- season favourites go into the final fixture of this "annus horribilis", at home to Portsmouth on Saturday, still occupying one of the relegation places.
Since Wolves lost the first game of the new era, at home to Port Vale, McGhee has brought in Simon Osborn, for pounds 1m from QPR, and Vinny Samways, on loan from Everton. They could hardly be expected to turn a long-ball team into Ajax overnight, and there was more than a hint of the Wolves of old when Millwall's goal fell after 10 minutes.
There seemed little obvious danger when Samways punted the ball forward to Bull on the edge of the area. Taking the ball on his chest, the former England striker swivelled and beat Kasey Keller on his near-post with a right-foot volley that Mark Hughes would have been proud to claim.
Millwall, for whom Malkin and Dave Savage had seen efforts cleared off the line in the opening minute, commendably persevered with their passing game. They were rewarded 11 minutes from time when Malkin stooped to head in Savage's corner, and McCarthy was justified in claiming they might have had a penalty either side of the goal.
Bull, whom some Wolves supporters feared would not fit in with McGhee's more measured style, almost capped his best display of the season two minutes from time. Rising to meet Dean Richards's flick-on from a corner, he powered in a header which Keller brilliantly tipped over.
Defeat would have been harsh on Millwall, who will enter the new year still in touch with the leading group if under a cloud of uncertainty over their manager's ambitions. McCarthy, mindful of his opposite number's reputedly restless desire to better himself, said, as he vacated the press conference hot seat to McGhee: "There's no truth in the rumour that he's nicked the Ireland job off me as well."
Wolverhampton Wanderers (4-4-2): Stowell; Thompson, Emblen, Richards, Venus; Daley (Rankine, 79), Samways (Cowans, 87), Atkins (Ferguson, 70), Osborn; Bull, Goodman.
Millwall (4-3-1-2): Keller; Newman, Witter, Webber, Thatcher; Rae, Bowry, Van Blerk; Savage; Dixon, Malkin. Substitutes not used: Doyle, Taylor, Berry.

|New core functionality
|Sat, 20 Jan 2001 23:13:26 GMT
Hello, I have modified ant for our corporate use, and I thought some of you may be interested in the additions / changes: 1) I modified the Ant task to accept a nested "antpath" element. This is a standard path element that defines a list of sub-tasks to execute. We use it to glob large nested builds. (Note: this task remains completely backward compatible) ex: ... <ant> <antpath> <fileset dir="." includes="*/**/build.xml" /> </antpath> </ant> ... This will sequentially execute the default target in each of the included build files. 2) I modified the Available task to accept a nested "filepattern" element. This allows us to determine if any file matches the specified pattern. (Again, this is perfectly backward compatible) ex. ... <available property="sub.build.exists"> <filepattern includes="*/**/build.xml" /> </available> ... This sets "sub.build.exist" to true if any file / directory matches the specified pattern. 3) I modified Main to accept only one task at a time. All additional arguments are translated into user-properties. (This one is NOT backward compatible) ex. when you run: ant foo bar dee only the target, "foo", is run, but there are two additional user properties available: arg1="bar", arg2="dee". I have found this to be much more useful than the way it is set up now (where ant will execute the three tasks "foo", "bar", and "dee" in succession). If there is any interest in this source code, let me know. I'm not on this email list, so please be sure to include my address in any replies. Larry Sanderson email@example.com

As far as I can see from the Zotero page, no plugins for AOO documents are mentioned, only Word and LibreOffice are mentioned. That seems to be a change, I am sure that AOO used to be mentioned there as well. I am currently a user of AOO version 3.4.1 on a Mac with FireFox. As far as I can se, the plugin I included some months ago works fine with version 3 text files. So I will hang on to that version for a while. But what about upgrading to AOO version 4? Will I still be able to handle references in the new version? Or do I have to change to LibreOffice in order to be able to handle references in my documents?

Big-boobed babes are what you'll find on this site. The women play with their own tits, masturbate and fool around with other busty beauties. The ladies don't appear in all that many movies just yet, but the ones they do show up in look quite good. You can stream them online, but you can't download them. The site might be worth visiting once it gets bigger.Full review

Be careful because the hot chicks on this website might just drive you into a frenzy with their big breasts and their sexy performances. Then again, you might be okay, because the lovely ladies don't appear in all that many movies or photo sets. It doesn't appear as though new vids or pics are on the way, so the site should remain small and too tiny to join.Full review

This sweet-faced British lass has two very big surprises waiting for you and together they measure 32H. That's right, this bird goes beyond being well-endowed.

If your nights have been haunted by a blonde with a big rack, you might be dreaming of Ashley. Now you can have your busty fun anytime with her site.

Desirae is a busty beauty with huge and all-natural 36F tits that she loves showing off. Her amazing breasts can be admired in the great-looking videos that she makes available on her personal website, but you should know that there aren't very many vids to be had and there aren't any new ones on the way, so it might not be worth checking out Desirae's site.Full review
The star of this website, Kayla is a cute brunette and she's also the proud owner of some of the most spectacular breasts you'll ever lay eyes on. Thankfully, she doesn't keep her tits to herself.

These chicks have large tits (some are real, some are fake), but they also have a large appetite for a dick in their mouth, in their wet pussy and often in their ass as well (sometimes all at the same time). The hardcore scenes are your standard porn fare with gooey facial endings. The problem is that the site isn't that big and it isn't updating either.Full review

Nicole is a babe with amazing boobs. You can check out her tits for yourself by viewing the content found on her personal website. There isn't too much to see there, though, so you shouldn't be in any kind of rush to visit it. The few vids you do get as a member tend to look great and are pretty hot, so it's a shame that there aren't any new ones on the way.Full review
Angelique is a Brazilian beauty with 36EE tits. Her site gives her fans content in which they can see her baring her boobs and having some hardcore fun.
