New year, new voting
We will keep John Gore the way he is which is the reason he is not included in the voting.
88 comments:
Santa!!! He's awesome and so are you, Mountain Sheep!ReplyDelete
IMO half of joy of playing new character it is his characteristic voice and speech. Why new characters are silent? If you don't have enough time etc. organise contest to the best speech of Lizzy, Ninja Man and so on... :) We fans stand up to the challenge!ReplyDelete

Im definately voting for gangster gore and duel maching guns :)pReplyDelete
- Will090January 5, 2010 at 12:47 PM
No Enviro-Bear on the poll... My vote goes to him, but if he is not an option I want zombieville guyReplyDelete
@Will090: Enviro-Bear is not there because he already has a speciality (starts out with the shotgun).ReplyDelete

It's nice to have new skins but no new voice means to me that they're not really characters. So changing what John Gore, Xmas Gore and Gangster Gore say so that they're different would add to the game. I'd take less skins for characters that had a unique voice. Hope the next update can improve on this.ReplyDelete
- FatpikachusinsideyouJanuary 5, 2010 at 2:16 PM
Hey kimmo could you add something to wich character wins AND sensei even because sense he's 1000000 kills he should be specialReplyDelete
thanks for listening
I agree with the fact that all the new characters should have voices however it has been said by Timo in the beta tester thread that the respective companys own the voice rights to the characters. Also I think specials should be given to DLC characters first becuaseReplyDelete
we paid for them
well If it was for premium characters it might make me want to buy themReplyDelete
OK soReplyDelete
definitely the ninja because ninjas are so super epic its rediculous and he should get a sword or be able to disappear and the furries would scatter for like 3 seconds
- SirDarkenedJanuary 5, 2010 at 2:47 PM
Why can't you have 4 more unique charactersReplyDelete
Sensai Evan
all paid characters
and Ninja Man
- AnonymousJanuary 5, 2010 at 2:50 PM
no people dont vote for gangster gore, kid gore, santa or sensei evan because three of them you have to pay for and the other one is impossible to unlock unless you play like three hours every day.ReplyDelete
- Will090January 5, 2010 at 2:53 PM
@Kimmo Oh OK, my bad. It would still be awesome if he drove his car for beat mode. Vote for Zombieville Guy, we only need like 200 more votes to come back!ReplyDelete

"There is more! All the finalists are already winners. That's right! Each runner-up is going to get an update named after their tagline and their likeness will contribute to the winner's character to make a very special Frankenstein character who gains ability to grow with each update and, in the sixth update, will become a boss in the game. How is that for amazing!ReplyDelete
Sound good yet? For the same $0.99 you will also get a free update with co-operative multiplayer, the mysterious mushroom and, of course, our contest winner Evan Hsu appearing with really weird goggles in the first update of the game.
anonymous: Snow & desert level, wormwolf, cossacks and lumberjacks are all shining their costumes for an appearance in an upcoming update!
Oh, you bet there is going to be DC. We are starting out with co-op multiplayer, some wicked shrooms and the contest winner's character added into the game in the first update. You also get to have a say on what goes into the game in the second update! Keep an eye on this blog -- we'll be posting.
The clip is from the Minigore launch version. Coming up in the first update: two-player co-op over bluetooth, a radar system to show where the furries are, the mysterious mushroom and more! Can you guess what the mushroom does? "
Would you like to go over this stuff?
If the mysterious mushrooms not going to be in there please, please, please say soo, so i can stop losing sleap crying about whats going to happen thanks

Da*n I really don't want paid characters to get the best abilities, already paid 1,60€ for this game.. but it fits Gangster Gore best...ReplyDelete

ROOTEBOY was the first to post it (congratulations thats a great idea) :)
When I was back there, I saw MICERS post about leveling up the crate when you blow it up, because since the crates are so easy to blow up you really feel like you wasted it since you could be duel wielding grenade launchers with that crate... I think it should be totally be implemented great idea
What about the zombies and graveyard map! Give us some info please!ReplyDelete
I agree with iphonesoftReplyDelete

hey if the upcoming update is local wi-fi that means that i am not able to play with the people world-wide or online like MW2 ? if the update is only locally thats really sucks !!! i want to play with somebody online like i do in MW2!? please answer my question?ReplyDelete
IF MINIGORE IS GOING IN HOOK CHAMP DOES THAT MEAN HOOK CHAMP IS GOING IN MINIGORE!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
I so totally agree with anyone who says sensi evan should get a skill, because andone who gets him deserves it(i dont have him) but when i do there is nothing to look forward to...ReplyDelete
and a dual machine is not actually that cool, do you know how fast that will get boring, i want multiplayer and zombies like the said they would for episode 4

I agreeReplyDelete
and i meant sensi evan and SOMEONE ELSE gets a skillReplyDelete
Jezzze i agree with you fullyReplyDelete
whats the point of getting up too even su if he isnt any different than anyone else! :)
Have voices for all of them. That's what I love about Minigore, the awesome one-liners. :DReplyDelete

You were the first to say it should come to gangster core :) But I beat you exactly with a week. Correct me if I'm wrong :D
"Next visiting quest star: Hook Champ" Cool! Like that game, but please stop adding characters for awhile and add voiceovers kthx :)

stop getting sidetracked with all these characters and please give us multiplayer in the next update.ReplyDelete

the multiplayer is online like i can play like MW2 or just locally that i can only play with a friend near me????ReplyDelete
OMG! Next coming guest star is from the Hook Champ! YEAH! Another character which will probably be mute. This game has a high potential of turning into S.H.I.T. Well done K&T!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 6, 2010 at 9:16 AM
Cross promotional characters again MS? What happened to MiniGore, seriously. Aside from Jerry Gore and Evans, there're no other original characters? I'm sorry but imo MiniGore is becoming more of a promotianal platform instead. Who are the characters; the girl holding John Gore's hand for example. And those puppet-like monsters on the loading screen. More original content would be best for MiniGore right now.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 6, 2010 at 10:50 AM
Ok kimmo and timmo. I do agree with alot of people here. It is sort of just becoming a promotional thing. Look at the success of doodle jump, theres one promotional thing.ReplyDelete
But i would be fine with it if you made them more traitful(?) eh.
"by Timo in the beta tester thread that the respective companys own the voice rights to the characters." What does this Extend to, you arent allowed to copy voices already recorded by them, or not allowed to make them at all?
What about if you got permission off them to record your own, is that possible? Loopholes?
Another thing you can do if you cant get permission?
The bought characters and sensei even in my opinion should get the first traits.
Its like say you were playing modern warfare. And you got to level 55. What now? Oh nothing...
That sucks. You need something at the end to make it worth getting damnit!
He can have beard powers just anything!
Saying all that this is the best game on my ipod, just dont let the origality thing get out of hand. This is your game, keep in that way. A brilliant game. Just please good you answer this question.
When are the motherflipping zombies coming?
Your loving ginger.
@Elliohow: Certainly nothing's impossible, though the process is more involved when it comes to characters from other games. Furthermore, as none of them actually speak in their games, there is no ready template for us to follow. With our original designs we are free to do whatever we wish and also give a lot of creative freedom to Egoraptor.ReplyDelete
Your fellow used-to-be-ginger.
- AnonymousJanuary 6, 2010 at 12:35 PM
kimo dont ignore him and tell him when the zombies comes out! >:$ and its true the characters from other games are kinda boring ,but i think that because they dont have a lot of stuff ! like minigore ' jerry ' i like'em better cause they are cooler! but a good tip for the other characters is listening to the music while using them ! thats alot better!! when the update comes out ?ReplyDelete
- FatpikachuinsideyouJanuary 6, 2010 at 1:06 PM
Hey kimmo/ timmo I also agree that you need to add some original characters like mrs gore who went out to find her husband or somebody from the place that he lives in or if he has a job his boss is so mad at him he wants to kill him but insted kills furries.maybe even a furry itself that's been made fun of by other furries and one day finds a shotgun and gets revengReplyDelete
consider these examples and maybe think of other character
- FatpikachuinsideyouJanuary 6, 2010 at 2:07 PM
Oh and the furrie is medium sized and all buffed up from trainingReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 6, 2010 at 3:00 PM
I really like the furry idea :D but it might get lost in the growd in a real slaughterfest... O.o Maybe it could have whipcreamlike hair (still black) with a cherry on top lol :D wait! that was the reason all the other furries made fun of him!
MS please here is one ORIGINAL character for your game. It was fatpikachuinsideyou's idea all creds to him... :D
(too annoying to pick name)
- AnonymousJanuary 6, 2010 at 3:02 PM
Ps. I wrote < Bonestack > (no space) on the end but it doesn't show :DReplyDelete
YA timmo and kimmo consider this, for the promotional characters change some things for each character. For HOOK CHAMP guy, insted of wolfworm make the boss the ghost that chaces you in the game. For SWAY add spike that hurt you when you run into them. For ZOMBIEVILLE guy make the zombies look like the ones in the zombieville game, (thats for when zombies actually come)ReplyDelete

Is it just me, or is the hat that Gangster gore wears a little bit of an obstruction to the view? He's still awesome though :D And pleeeaaaaase add the bluetooth multiplayer. I have many friends at school who are addicted to this game, and we'd love shooting furries as a tag team :D Great game, thanks MS kimmo and timmoReplyDelete

@Anon who said Santa's an original character...ReplyDelete
Are you serious?
How's that original?
Him holding a gun's considered original?
My neighbour wore a Santa outfit on christmas.
MAN! he's cool because the thought of him wearing it was so freaking original -.-"
Yeah man.
More original characters + one-liners.
New maps
and the stuff people mentioned above.
- AnonymousJanuary 7, 2010 at 9:25 AM
thats not what i meant you dick! of course its not an original idea. im saying he was originally cast in the storyline (he's not a promotional characer with no voice over). it was for the benefit of the anon who thought jerry and evan where the only characters cast in the storyline. think before you try to start an argument dumbass

Yes please stop being so impatient and immature. I wonder, does anyone realize that developers get to take a Christmas break too? They have been GONE! They started back this week so chill. They are working on lots of new content. I don't like waiting so long for updates, but they have limited resources. Just imagine how long it takes big developers like Gameloft and EA to update, and now imagine Mountain Sheep with only a few developers. Mountain Sheep is constantly working on Minigore, it just takes a little longer. And that would also explain Hargore. They can only work on one game at a time. Hardgore will come out after Minigore is almost done. Whenever they choose to do that. Try to put yourself in their position. In a perfect world, Mountain Sheep would be a giant company like Gameloft and they would still put in the same effort into giving their customers awesome new content.ReplyDelete

Kimmo may i ask if we will ever get online wi-fi.
If i was stuck between games and one had local and one online, of course online.
But kimmo, what im asking is do you have permission to get all artsy and make the voices for the promotional characters, and if not do you think you will be able to. Or even can you be bothered. :)
And i understand the ignoring the zombiess thing, maybe you purposely ignored me because you want it to be a surprise, or something bad happened. I understand.
Your fellow loving ginger
hey ozzy any news about jerry with the white helmetReplyDelete
The multiplayer in Episode 4 is local and works over wi-fi and bluetooth. I feel local multiplayer is best suited for Minigore's co-op where you have to coordinate things with your friend.ReplyDelete
@Anon: Screenshots of levels, guns, etc. are only about 1/4th of the battle. Most of the effort goes into what you cannot actually see from a screenshot. This is why we can't simply release them as soon as there is a screenshot.
@MAD AT MOUNTIAN SHEEP, MAD, MAD, MAD, mad, mad, really mad, mad: I understand you are mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, really mad, mad -mad at us for taking a long time to roll out the multiplayer update and I will let you be mad, but I hope you understand if I had to remove the !!!!!!s to make the comments readable again. If you feel Minigore has not been worth your investment and want your 99 cents back (I assume you purchased it early on since you mentioned waiting for so long), contact me via the Mountain Sheep website and I will personally refund you your dollar through PayPal.
@Elliohow: No, we don't have a permission to get all artsy I'm afraid. We can try and incorporate sound effects from the original games into the characters, though.
Yes, I pick and choose questions which have not been covered already, I want to reveal something about "off the record" or which otherwise need to be covered. Now, back to coding :)

I received this book for free to review and this post may contain affiliate links.
I am excited to share with you my review of the Heart of Centering Prayer: Nondual Christianity in Theory and Practice. Modern day mystic, Episcopal priest, writer, and internationally known retreat leader, Cynthia Bourgeault divides her time between solitude at her seaside hermitage in Maine, and a demanding schedule traveling globally to teach and spread the recovery of the Christian contemplative and Wisdom path.
She has been a long-time advocate of the meditative practice of Centering Prayer and has worked closely with fellow teachers and colleagues including Thomas Keating, Bruno Barnhart, and Richard Rohr. Cynthia has actively participated in numerous inter-spiritual dialogues and events with luminaries and leaders such as A.H. Almaas, Kabir Helminski, Swami Atmarupananda, and Rami Shapiro.
Learn more about Cynthia at The Contemplative Society.
Cynthia's book begins with, "It's been more than a decade now since I wrote Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening. During those years, Centering Prayer has continued to be the mainstay of my spiritual practice, and my thinking on it has continued to evolve. The book you're now holding in your hands is really the paper trail of that evolution."
My practice also has evolved. I have been at it much less in duration, just short of three years, but I too have noticed that my thinking has continued to evolve. Along the way, I will share some of my evolution in this review.
Book Overview
The Heart of Centering Prayer discusses both theory and practice and is nicely divided into three parts:
Part One: A Short Course on Centering Prayer
Part Two: The Way of the Heart (Nonduality will be discussed.)
Part Three – The Cloud of Unknowing Revisited
(Father William Meninger located a paragraph within The Cloud of Unknowing that became the cornerstone for the method of Centering Prayer.)
Let me share five key takeaways from this wonderful book.
Spaces Between My Thoughts
"It's in these gaps that Centering Prayer does its real transformative work."
"….bit by bit you'll discover that this inner spaciousness is no longer "a place you go to" but "a place you come from." It begins to offer itself as a new home for your deepest sense of self hood."
"In the nano second between the cessation of one thought and the arising of the next, there is a moment of pure consciousness where subject and object poles drop out and you're simply there. For a nano second, there's no "you" and no God. No experience and no experiencer. There's simply a direct, undivided, sensate awareness of a single, unified field of being perceived from a far deeper place of aliveness."
I call it the spaces between my thoughts. I enter them during my silent sit. Sometimes they are short. Other times they are longer in duration. I seem to emerge from my sit a new creation. I arise from my sit calm, peaceful, energized and excited to live life. I find I am very productive after my sit. I often discover solutions to problems that seemed to previously elude and hide from me.
"In those deeper waters of Centering Prayer, you are slowly acclimating to a whole new operating system: one that does not need to split the perceptual field in order to perceive. Think of it as an upgrade for your brain, if you like, but one way or another it will gradually help lay the physiological foundations for what's known as nondual (or unitive) consciousness."
"But there comes a time when the ego translator drops out, and we are simply there, hearing in responding directly in the native language of being. There is oneness. And that is fundamentally what is meant by nondual consciousness. Then this "inner wellspring" is no longer place you go to; it's a place you come from. It's a whole new structure of consciousness that can perceive without first splitting the field."
This is one of the best definitions of nonduality that I have come across. It is a new operating system. I can access it by the entry into Centering Prayer. I arise from my sit better prepared to just let things "be". I do not need to split the field so to speak. I am simply "there" during centering prayer. I can learn to also just be "there" during my non- centering times. I am more present. I see things I did not notice before. I enjoy life and better accept my present circumstances and surroundings. I am more alive. I am whole.
"It was ten years into my practice before I realized that the real theological basis for Centering Prayer lies in the principle of kenosis, Jesus's self-emptying love that forms the core of his own self-understanding and life practice."
"…in fact, the gospels themselves make clear that he is specifically inviting us to this journey and modeling how to do it. Once you see this, it's the touchtone throughout all his teaching. Let go! Don't cling! Don't hoard! Don't assert your importance! Don't fret. "Do not be afraid, little flock, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom!"
The letting go gesture during centering prayer helps us bring this same gesture into our daily life. When I am worried, I can let it go. When I am anxious, I can let it go. When I receive an abundance, I can share it. I am not my job title, or other accomplishments. If I can let go of all of these things, I will truly have the kingdom.
Blessed Are The Pure In Heart
"Every heart is already a perfect holograph of the divine heart, carrying within itself full access to the information of the whole. But it does need to be purified, as Jesus himself observed."
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8
During Centering Prayer I am purified. As I purify my heart I begin to see God! I put on the mind of Christ. I become a walking Jesus who is inclusive and full of compassion and empathy. I will admit that I am work in progress! That is why I return each day to my Centering Prayer practice.
Silence Teaches Us Who We Are
"Like most beginners, I thought that the aim in Centering Prayer was to let go of thoughts so that God could "fill" me with his presence. One day I suddenly realized that the God story was the sideshow and the letting go was the main event. That was when the practice flipped for me, as I recognized that thoughts were not the obstacle; they were the raw material, as every opportunity to practice releasing that focal point for attention deepened the reservoir of "free attention" within me and strengthened the signal of the homing beacon of my heart."
I too used to believe that I entered Centering Prayer to be filled with God. I now know that this is no longer true. I do not need to be filled with God. God never stopped being in me. I now realize that this is a place I come from. Centering prayer teaches me who I am. I am unconditionally loved by the Divine! Centering prayer teaches me how to live.
Next Steps
"The intent of Centering Prayer is not to "access" God through contemplative stillness or mystical experience, but to teach its practitioners how to spontaneously align with Jesus's own continuously creative and enfolding presence through emulating his kenotic practice in all life situations."
"Instead, it is found in the gradual but steady capacity to go to conform a person to "the mind of Christ", and the life attitudes of compassion, generosity, and freedom that flow from this gesture."
Centering Prayer is not a race. It is a marathon. A daily, weekly, monthly and yearly practice will transform you! It has transformed me!
I also reviewed Cynthia's earlier book, Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening. Enjoy my review.

The early Christians, teaches the Reverend Cynthia Bourgeault, were afire with the spirit of Jesus, inspired fully by his teaching of a total transformation of consciousness. How do we reclaim that fire today? On Encountering the Wisdom Jesus, this brilliant author and dynamic Episcopalian priest presents her first full-length audio course about rediscovering the Master of Wisdom. Twelve immersive sessions cover: the parables as wisdom tools; Jesus's teachings about kenosis (or self-emptying: a path as radical today as it was 2,000 years ago); Jesus as tantric master; Centering Prayer, an approach to meditation as Jesus lived it, and much more. (Based upon her book, The Wisdom Jesus.)
One on One Coaching with Rich
Does this sound like you?
"I am bored with my life?"
"I am not doing the things that I want to do in all areas of my life:"
-career, personal, family, community.
I feel unfulfilled, like I am just going through the motions everyday.
I have dreams and goals, but I am afraid to show up and take action on them.
I don't want years to pass and be disappointed when I look back on my life.
Integrating Centering Prayer practice with your everyday life addresses all of these thoughts.
Do you want to obtain the freedom to become your true self, the person I'm created to be?
How do I create a long lasting and sustainable centering prayer practice?
I am currently taking on clients for Centering Prayer One on One Coaching sessions.
I will work with you to setup a program designed to meet your specific needs.
Try Audible and Get Two Free Audiobooks – This is a great way to listen to books with your cell phone while you drive, walk or relax at home. I frequently listen in my car during my commute to and from work. I'm a proud affiliate.
David Frenette's book The Path of Centering Prayer re-energized the Centering Prayer tradition with its fresh insights and teachings. This companion audio program—created to be equally rewarding as a stand-alone guide—gives listeners an immersive resource to learn contemplative prayer, step by step and in the moment. With clarity and compassionate presence, Frenette explains the essential principles of this contemplative practice for both new and seasoned practitioners, and then guides us experientially through core prayers and meditations.
Themes in the Gospel of John by N. T. Wright: The course approaches the Gospel of John in a way that looks at seven key themes. These themes bind the Fourth Gospel together in a manner that allows us to see this 'new way of living' as possible for followers of King Jesus. In so doing, we then apply these themes to the current era in order to ask ourselves questions about how we are putting them into practice. In a way, this is the story of how to live out being the presence of God on earth through the indwelling of God's spirit.
Prepare to be immersed in the 1st Century A.D. context of the life, work, teachings, and actions of Jesus. Check out Simply Jesus by N. T. Wright. It is based on his book Simply Jesus. Enjoy an article I wrote about one of the lectures on the Beatitudes.
This course is a short course based on Prof. N.T. Wright's latest book, Simply Good News. Tom Wright will guide you through the chapters of his book through videos that suggest what some of the main points are. You will instantly get into the heart of the idea of 'good news' as it was understood by the 1st Century writers of the New Testament. You will be brought into their world in order to make more sense of what 'good news' means in our world.
Christian Prayer Methods: Prayer is a core Christian practice, but for many, this means "saying prayers" or asking God for various favors. In this course, we will review a variety of methods of prayer that have been used for centuries in Christianity. Whether you're a beginner who is just learning how to pray, or a more mature Christian who has been at it awhile, this course will offer specific guidance, encouragement and support for practicing several time-tested methods of prayer.
The Way of the Wisdom Jesus: Going Beyond the Mind to the Heart of His Teaching – If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus and approach the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of the transformation of consciousness. In this online course, Episcopal priest, teacher, and retreat and conference leader Cynthia Bourgeault serves as a masterful guide to Jesus's vision and to the traditional contemplative practices you can use to experience the heart of his teaching for yourself. It is based upon her book, The Wisdom Jesus: Transforming Heart and Mind – a New Perspective on Christ and His Message .
This new course by Contemplative Light is currently 1/3 off!
Living Sacraments: The Christian Mystics & The Inner Journey to God – How might your life change if you were steeped more deeply in the wisdom of the Christian Mystics? This course helps contemplatives, healers, clergy, and spiritual directors get a handle on the daunting subject of Christian Mysticism to draw on this timeless wisdom for their own spiritual journey AND to provide care to those they serve.
After taking this powerful course, you will know:
- The path of mystical transformation
- The four main mystical types
- The three eras of mystical flowering in the Christian West
- The lives, key teachings, challenges, and major works of TWENTY of the Christian mystics

Least minimally invasive surgery is also know as keyhole surgery, in which a thin telescope like instrument know as endoscope is used to examine the internal disorders of spine and it helps doctors to work safely on spine. As a result patient feel lesser pain and faster recovery without any difficulties.
A decompression procedure is to remove pressure on a structure, as in decompression of the spinal cord. Dr. Said Osman performs,
* Open decompression: In the lumbar spine, this is usually reserved for patients with spinal stenosis caused by bony spur formation causing narrowing space available for neural elements.
* Minimally invasive decompression: This constitutes a major service part of the spinal procedures performed by Dr. Said Osman. At this time this is mostly for thoracic or lumbar disc problem. Minimally invasive disc decompression in the cervical spine (neck), which may be performed as an outpatient is also available.
Spinal fusion or spondylosyndesis is a surgical method used to join two or more vertebrae. This is done most commonly in the lumbar region of the spine; it is also used to treat cervical and thoracic problems. At Russellville Musculoskeletal Center, orthopaedic surgeons performs by two procedures,
* Conventional Open Procedures: This is mostly performed for patients who have severe arthritis of the spine, requiring decompression.
* Minimally Invasive Procedures: If decompression can be successfully done through minimally invasive approach, then it is also in the patient's interest to perform the fusion and instrumentation with pedicle screws with minimally invasive approach. With this approach surgical time, surgical trauma, surgical blood loss, hospital stay and recovery time are significantly reduced. This is currently one of the most common techniques that Dr. Said Osman uses.
Non-fusion technologies for treating spinal degenerative conditions involving,
* Dynamic Stabilization: One of the down sides of spine fusion is that by stiffening the diseased segment of the spine, stresses of the spinal motions are transferred to the neighboring joints, and this is thought to accelerate wear and tear of those neighboring segments. Recently a device called X-STOP was approved by the FDA for general use in the USA. It is a minimally invasive device which can help relieve back pain and leg pain without resorting to major removal of bone and fusion. This is now available at Russellville Hospital for selected cases.
* Total Disc Replacement: Recently the FDA has approved an artificial disc for the cervical spine (neck). This device is likely to be the most preferable procedure for orthopaedic patients who have a single level disease of the cervical spine, currently treated with fusion. The approach for this operation is similar to fusion, which is widely performed in the USA, and the advantages include avoidance of neck brace, earlier return to normal activities and hopefully avoidance of stresses on the neighboring discs.

I'm a little bit lefty, It comes with the Sociology thing, but I have to admit I've been feeling pretty sorry for President G.W. Bush recently. First there was G20 when he stared at the ground and looked like a lonely school boy while everyone else made nice.
Now incredulous Iraqis are throwing their shoes at him on his Iraq victory lap.
The shoe thing doesn't make me feel sorry for him but the fact that it ruined his victory lap does, because it didn't have to. It could and should have been a chance to show why we are in Iraq at all.
In 2002 Muntader Al-Zaidi could never have slighted an allied leader in nearly as extreme a way as he did towards Bush. He would have been arrested, beaten and I can scarcely imagine what else.
So the moment Bush stepped off the stage after the incident why wasn't somebody telling the President to point out how this man had just highlighted the freedom of speech hard won by the coalition presence he had put in Iraq. After that why didn't someone specifically ensure that Al-Zaidi was treated impeccably and set free as rapidly as possible?
As it is Bush left the stage and joked "All I can report is it was a size 10" then said he wasn't insulted by the incident. Al Zaidi meanwhile was arrested and is still being held (he's become a national hero and a symbol of Iraqi distaste for U.S occupation). Meanwhile his brother has mounted a campaign to show the world how cruel Iraqi authorities still are with claims Al-Zaidi is being beaten and is suffering serious injury.
I'm pretty green as far as politics and spin goes but from where I'm standing Bush is facing a string of events which are very damning to his image and there is little his comms team is doing about it. This latest incident served to turn a reassuring last visit to Bush's biggest legacy
into farce.

Booking and Reservations at the Deluxe Fitness Hotel
Benefitting from the hotel's impressive services is only part of the experience at the Deluxe Fitness Hotel, the rest being filled by the amazing accommodation capabilities, which will be presented on this special page.
In order to receive so many guests each year, for the fitness center, Yoga course, wellness activities, as well as the casino, the hotel had to have an extensive accommodation facility and this can be easily seen when arriving there. With a staggering 200 rooms and 5 penthouses, the hotel ensures that even in the peak season there are enough places to allow everyone to fit in its facilities and enjoy the numerous services provided. Each different apartment type has variable rates and either using this special page or calling upon the information services of the front desk receptionists will allow all interested customers to learn more about each room type.
Reservations can be made using one of the numerous telephone numbers, by contacting the hotel using the provided form or by sending an email message and the trained staff will ensure that all inquiries are answered in a timely and fashionable manner. However, due to the increased number of customers during the peak season, the hotel's staff wishes to kindly ask all those who submit inquiries for reservations or bookings in that period through email, to be patient as their requests will be responded to slower than usual.
Everyone can come to the hotel's premises for spending a couple of nights and pets are also allowed in all of the rooms, therefore offering customers a high degree of leniency in terms of possibilities.
All those who are unsure about what to choose when it comes to accommodation, or have other questions and inquiries, are encouraged to learn more by speaking to the hotel's staff and providing them with all the necessary details.

Tim Cahill: Australia forward's goal celebration prompts 'sponsor' debate
Australia's football association will not take action against Tim Cahill after it was claimed he used a goal celebration to promote a sponsor.
The striker made a "T" sign after scoring for Australia in the World Cup qualifying win over Syria on Wednesday.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, a travel agency hailed the gesture and Cahill replied with eight emojis.
"We don't believe Tim's breached any laws," a Football Federation Australia (FFA) spokesman told the BBC.
Cahill, who plays for Melbourne City and previously had spells with Millwall, Everton and New York Red Bulls, later tagged the sponsor in an Instagram post of his own.
"Another chapter written and plenty more to come. Amazing team performance and really proud of everyone tonight, team, staff and fans," Cahill wrote, before tagging the agency.
World football's governing body, Fifa, told BBC Sport it is "reviewing and analysing the reports from the referees and the match commissioners for all matches in Fifa competitions". They added that "any events which require further attention may be communicated accordingly".
Fifa's laws of the game prohibit advertising on some garments and on the field of play.
The FFA says it has not been contacted about the matter.
In 2012, Danish footballer Nicklas Bendtner was fined 100,000 euros (£80,000) by European football's governing body, Uefa, for exposing sponsored underwear.
The Cahill celebration has generated much discussion in Australia, where sport writers have said Cahill "blew an iconic Australian football moment" and "held the pose long enough" to make it conspicuous.
The win earned Australia a 3-2 aggregate win over the Syrians and a play-off against Honduras, with the victors earning a place at next summer's World Cup in Russia.

Stargazing | Perfectly Patton praised for 'Young Adult' performance
: Academy Award-winner?
The nation's remaining movie critics are murmuring that the brilliant comedian's performance in"Young Adult"
is Oscar-worthy.
Oswalt plays a man fresh out of a coma, whose most recent memories are of high school, a time that culminated in being beaten half to death by a group of jocks. The film features the reteaming of "Juno" director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody.
"The script was so complicated and so nuanced," Oswalt toldthe Daily Beast
. "It isn't even a walk across a tightrope. It's a drunken run across a tightrope. And because I saw all that, I got very intimidated and said I better study up on this and make sure I'm prepared."
At a recent screening for the film, Oswalt brought friends, family and a collection of his favorite Tweeters.
"Shelby Fero
was here. An 18-year-old girl — brilliant," he said. "She's going to beTina Fey,
and she is a huge part of the whole nerd movement.Kelly Oxford, Jenny Johnson hi5, Rob Delaney, Megan Amram
. It is almost like the Paris expat scheme, but for shut-ins. The Movable Feast now is all done on Twitter."Changing the 'Future'
You may rememberMelora Hardin
asSteve Carrell
's more-than-a-little-nuts boss/girlfriend in early episodes of "The Office." We learned this week that Hardin almost played Marty McFly's girlfriend in "Back to the Future."
Longtime Stargazing readers also will remember that Marty originally was to be played byEric Stoltz
"I just remember getting a phone call in my parents' kitchen,Bob Gale
and(Robert) Zemeckis
both called me," Hardin tellsWired magazine
. "They said, 'Unfortunately we had to let Eric go and we think you're too tall for the new guy we cast. His name isMichael J. Fox
, but you'll be towering over him. This has nothing to do with you, we think you're lovely.' I burst into tears."Unsound check
NBC is now checking the songsthe Roots
play on "Late Night" after the band performed an off-color song during Michele Bachmann's show appearance last month.
"They promise not to step on my toes or that type of thing," says drummer/leaderQuestlove
, "but they definitely want to know the title of the song, the subject matter of the song, can it be seen as an insult.".Believe the hype?
While shilling for "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows,"Robert Downey Jr.
plugged another of his projects.
" 'Iron Man 3' is probably the best script I've read in five years, which is so funny," he said. "I mean, things have come so full-circle that a genre superhero movie can actually be the most artistic bit of writing I read."
"Sherlock" opens Friday. Downey will appear as Ol' Shellhead in "The Avengers," around May 4. And "Iron Man 3" is slated for 2013.Smatterings

who plays Daryl on AMC's "The Walking Dead," letsMTV
in on the reasons for his character's attachment to Sophia.
"There's a backstory with Daryl that he was a beaten child and he was (abandoned), and I'm really trying to play that up," he said. "He's a very damaged person."
Reedus says Sophia's fate sets him back in certain ways.
"He reacts violently to anything emotional," he says. "He's looked upon more as one of the leaders now . He's not super thrilled about it."Sailors vs. Aliens?
Like everyone else in the world, when we heardPeter Berg
was directing a film based on the board game"Battleship,"
we thought, "What the what?"
But Berg explains.
"I'm the son of a World War II and a naval fanatic," he told Aint It Cool News. "My father was all about ships, all about World War II battles. I think I got my only A in high school on a paper I wrote about why Japan lost the battle of Midway and what would've happened had they won that battle."
But Berg tells the site rather than rehash the old stuff, he went a different direction.
"We're making a film about a Navy that engages aliens," he says.
We remain unconvinced. The film is scheduled to open May 18.

Facebook continues to treat users' name days the same way it treats their birthdays, as some users are seeing notifications for name days in the right-hand-corner of their News Feeds, right above birthdays.
Reader Thodoris Konsoulas shared the screenshot above, as well as a screenshot last week of Facebook prompting him to add his name day.
Name Day is not particularly well-known in the U.S., as it is more of a tradition in some European and Latin American countries, where days on the calendar correspond with specific names, often having to do with saints, depending on location and religion. Name Day is often celebrated in the same way that birthdays are. Konsoulas is from Greece.

The purpose of this project is to address the sustainable production of green energy and waste mitigation through the design and construction of a working eco-energy demonstration model based on the integration of anaerobic digestion and photosysthesis.
Eco-Energy is a concept that actively integrates biological systems to create energy in resource-efficient, closed-loop ecologies capable of simultaneously mitigating pollutants and producing energy. Phase 1 of our project delves into the design and basic scientific understanding of the aspects that make our eco-energy system effective. The main components, the methanogenic anaerobic digester and the algal photo-bioreactor, present technical challenges that must be understood for successful technology integration. These inquiries include the varied parameters of both anaerobic and photosynthetic ecologies. Our project will investigate the basic biological structure and function of attached aquatic algal communities and their potential productivity using anaerobic digester effluent as a primary source of mineral nutrients. Our investigation will characterize digester effluent from different feedstocks (e.g. sewage, manures, food wastes) to determine if these reflect a difference in algal growth. Understanding the basic environmental parameters that promote climax communities of algae will allow steady-state productivity and an enhanced degree of culture stability. A further challenge to the utilization of algae as a primary source of energy is the ability to harvest the algae. Current methods in algal culturing are energy intensive, and therefore economically and sustainably prohibitive. Our model, once constructed, will allow our team to investigate methods of passive, low-tech algal harvesting. The entire model will operate on waste nutrients and sunlight, incorporating photovoltaic solar cells to run water pumps.
Expected Results:
Using an integrated system of an anaerobic digester and a photo-bioreactor, nutrient-laden wastewaters will be turned into environmentally benign energy. Our project aims to design a pilot-scale model that integrates these two biological technologies. The model will be used as an interactive and functional sustainability teaching demonstration. Through scientific investigations and demonstration opportunities, this eco-energy model will serve to expand the understanding of ecological characteristics necessary for a sustainable society.

What is a konjac sponge?
The konjac sponge is derived from the mountainous regions of Asia, where is it created from the fibrous root of the konjac plant. Originally used as a dietary and medicinal food, its beauty origins extend 1,500 years into the past when locals began using the fiber to gently cleanse sensitive skin. Its natural texture allows for effective exfoliation of dry, rough skin without irritation, making it an ideal beauty tool.
Why choose Motives Konjac Facial Sponge Set?
This beauty tool is gentle enough to use on all skin types, even the most sensitive. Unlike skincare products developed with chemical exfoliators or beads, the konjac sponge is made from the fibrous root of the plant, giving it a unique texture that provides exfoliation without irritating the skin.
*For deep exfoliation, it is recommended to use a traditional mask or microdermabrasion.
What are other ways to use the konjac sponge?
First, these sponges can be paired with your cleanser to remove daily makeup, dirt and oil, and can even be used around the delicate eye area. Two, they effectively refine pores through gentle exfoliation for polished skin that is prepped for skincare treatments. Finally, pair the sponge with a shower gel to cleanse, clarify and revitalise skin all over the body.
How do I use Motives Konjac Facial Sponge Set?
Daily use
- Submerge the sponge in warm water until it fully expands (10-15 minutes with the first use)
- Massage skin using gentle circular motions (use with or without a cleanser)
- Using the cotton string, hang in a well-ventilated area to dry
Weekly Cleanse
- Submerge the sponge in hot water for 5 minutes once a week to cleanse
- Using the cotton string, hand in a well-ventilated area to dry
- Do not use until the sponge has fully dried and returned to its natural state

Apparently, StorEnvy only allows a maximum of 500 items per shop, which for someone who, in addition to two novels, half a dozen for-sale paintings, an e-calendar, also has over 900 button designs up for sale, is unacceptable.
The Nocturnal Spirits shop on Etsy, as well as my OddModOut button shop, is now CLOSED! This is because of complete nonsense that I'd contest if Etsy's listing fees weren't eating 30-50% of my profits every month, meaning i was planning on moving to a different site, anyway (my original plan was to wait to do it until after I've moved in a couple weeks, but oh well….)
On the good side, I'm on Artfire, now, and not only are they cheaper (a flat rate in tiers, based on shop size — ranging from Free for only 24 items in a shop to $60/month for 2500+/unlimited items — I'm currently at $40/month for 501-1000 items, whereas on Etsy, I was paying an average of $85/month), they've been absolute dolls to deal with, so far.
I'm also allowed more than ten Shop Sections/Categories, meaning I can not only categorise all my buttons, but also have categories for my writing, music, and art projects without needing to set up multiple shops. It's pretty much an all-purpose e-Boutique for everything I do, and I plan on eventually branching out into jewellery, beaded items, kombolói, and more.
Where this is especially relevant, here, is that I just noticed that they allow Digital media items for sale, as well, meaning anyone waiting for the next edition of the New Boeotian Calendar will definitely have a place to go pick it up! Because I'll be moving very soon, I'm going to postpone actually working on the new edition until after I have the computer set up at the new place, but if you were hoping for it, that's what's up with that!
Until the new New Boeotian Calendar is done, and since the year is almost over, I'm going to post the current calendar for $2 (or $1.70 for other Artfire patrons/sellers)!! (The new NBC will be at the regular price of $4.) If you still don't have a copy, yet, and you want to check it out before getting the new one, now is the time! I'm able to update this thing in less than two weeks, at this point, so you've got maybe four weeks, tops, to get this!

Windows 10 Kernel Changes
Tuesday, October 14, 2014
As you probably know, you can download and play with the first bits of Windows 10. While there are many things to discover in the User Interface of the Windows Shell and WinRT applications, I like to dig and find Kernel changes. To do that I use several tools from Sysinternals and Debugging tools for Windows (which are part of Windows SDK now). I installed Windows 10 x64 bit on Hyper-V: I have also created a Windows Azure Windows 10 Server Machine: Using Sysinternals WinObj I have found that there are new two...

I had heard about "Jailbreaking" an iPod Touch but until recently had no particular reason to do it. Until I found MobileScrobbler – and little application that runs on your iPod Touch (or iPhone) and sends info about the songs you listen to to last.fm. (More about that in a different post – but it's the source of the song list to the right of your screen.)
But needless to say, I had a reason.
Sure, Apple have released an SDK which means in June you'll be able to download Apple-sanctioned third party software. But I'm not known for my patience!
So anyway – my first attempt didn't go very well. I got this BSD error message hat just kept appearing on screen.
After doing some digging on how to restore the iPod Touch I found out that the Jailbreak didn't actually work for my 16 GB Touch with 1.1.4 installed.
Until this post (and video) show you how to do it!
So now I have MobileScrobbler updating my last.fm profile via WiFi – regardless of how often I sync the iPod back up.
Yeah, it's geeky, but it's cool.

They say the Sun shines on the righteous—and if you want to know precisely how righteous you are, you'd better invest in a pyranometer! Widely used by weather and climate scientists, these strange looking instruments measure the amount of sunlight hitting Earth's surface at a particular place and time. How do they work? Let's take a closer look!Photo: Sunrise seen through the glass dome of a pyranometer. Photo by Steve Wilcox courtesy of US Department of Energy/National Renewable Energy Laboratory (US DOE/NREL).
What is a pyranometer and what does it do?
Photo: Sunlight varies all the time, from its theoretical minimum at sunrise (as here) and sunset to its theoretical maximum at midday. But how can you measure it more precisely?
Unless you're lucky enough to live in a tropical paradise, you probably see quite a bit less of the Sun than you might like. Earth orbits the Sun and, at the same time, spins around on a tilted axis, so we get variations in sunlight across our planet each hour of the day and each day of the year. That's essentially what gives us our seasons and climate.
Now suppose you had the job of comparing how much sunlight different places receive. How would you go about it? You could lounge about in the Sun all day in different places and see how brown you get, but unless you wear copious amounts of sunscreen, that will be very dangerous—and it's not exactly scientific! What about rigging up a small solar panel to an electricity meter? You could carry the panel round the world with you, measure how much electricity it generates in each place, and use that to compare the amount of sunlight.
Very roughly speaking, this is what pyranometers do—although they work in a much more precise and scientific way. What they measure is the solar radiation falling on a horizontal surface in watts (the amount of energy received each second) per square meter. Technically that's known as insolation.
Sunlight may look yellow, but it actually consists of a very broad spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, ranging in wavelength from about 280 nanometers (nm, which are billionths of a meter) up to about 4000 nanometers. This includes both visible "white light" (the familiar rainbow spectrum ranging from red and orange through to indigo and violet) and invisible electromagnetic radiation, including ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR). Although our eyes can't see much of this light, pyranometers do their best to detect as much of it as possible, because it all counts as sunlight.
Photo: It's important to remember that sunlight contains a spectrum of different light wavelengths, including some we can't see. Different pyranometers can give very different results because they measure different parts of the spectrum. While good thermopile pyranometers measure pretty much the whole spectrum, chip-based pyranometers measure a much narrower range of wavelengths.
If you're good with your Greek, you'll know that pyr means fire, ano indicates something up above, and meter suggests measurement, so a pyr-ano-meter measures "fire from up above"—sunlight, in other words. Broadly speaking, there are two different kinds of pyranometers. Although they do the same job, they work in very different ways. Thermopile-type pyranometers measure sunlight from the heat it generates; chip-type pyranometers measure sunlight from the electricity it generates.
Thermopile pyranometers
Photo: A pyranometer quietly going about its job, measuring solar radiation. Note the double glass in the dome and the weatherproof cable coming out of the side that carries electrical signals, corresponding to the strength of the solar radiation, out to a computer. Photo by Steve Wilcox courtesy of US Department of Energy/National Renewable Energy Laboratory (US DOE/NREL).
The very best pyranometers are described as laboratory-grade, research-grade, reference-grade, secondary standard (ISO), or high quality (WMO). Slightly lesser instruments are described as first class (ISO) or good quality (WMO), while second class (ISO) are the next best grade.
A typical, laboratory-grade pyranometer is essentially just a thermopile (a collection of thermocouples, perhaps 50–100 in the best instruments) mounted on a black carbon disc, which generates electricity according to how hot it gets (how much solar radiation falls on it).
That's not quite all there is to it, however! Scientists are serious people who like to be sure that when they measure something, other things aren't getting in the way and spoiling their data. So pyranometers have some extra features. Most noticeably, there's a dome made from one or two layers of ground and polished optical glass or acrylic plastic covering the thermopile, which eliminates air movements and dirt that might affect the measurements (the curved outer surface also ensures any raindrops fall away quickly). A small, replaceable cartridge of silica gel (or other dessicant) inside the pyranometer absorbs any dew. Since a pyranometer typically sits outside in an exposed position, its case has to be made from something like toughened, rustproof, anodized aluminum. Usually, there's a built-in spirit level so you can be sure your pyranometer is flat (though some are designed to be used on inclined surfaces as well).
When sunlight falls on a pyranometer, the thermopile sensor produces a proportional response typically in 30 seconds or less: the more sunlight, the hotter the sensor gets and the greater the electric current it generates. The thermopile is designed to be precisely linear (so a doubling of solar radiation produces twice as much current) and also has a directional response: it produces maximum output when the Sun is directly overhead (at midday) and zero output when the Sun is on the horizon (at dawn or dusk). This is called a cosine response, because the electrical signal from the pyranometer varies with the cosine of the angle between the Sun's rays and the vertical.

A weekly round up of cool and interesting (by my definition) things I have come across this week:
FREE BOOK – Like books? Like books on how to improve your performance? Don't like paying for stuff? Then we are kindred spirits. Check out this free ebook from Lee Ness.
SUGARY DRINKS & DNA DAMAGE – If you're reading this blog, hopefully you're reasonably athletic and sporty, and therefore healthy. You should know that sugary drinks are bad for you. But just incase you aren't, there is this from the guardian.
DELIBERATE PRACTICE VS GENETICS METANALYSIS – So, which camp are you in – genes/talent vs hardwork? The reality, in my opinion, is a combination of both. You need the genetic framework to give you talent, but you also need plenty of hardwork. This recent metanalysis on deliberate practice further fuels my theory.
TEA – From the guardian again (what can I say, I'm a lefty) on how to make the perfect cup of tea. If you love tea, you'll love this. Maybe.
EATING WITH OTHER PEOPLE MAKES US FAT – the guardian (AGAIN!) has a really interesting article on how eating with other people is making us fat. Anecdotally, I can confirm this is true.
POACHING ATHLETES – My friend and sometime pole vaulter Paul Walker (not the actor) has written this on poaching athletes. It sums up my feelings on the subject perfectly. I've never understood the thought process that if a coach discovers an athlete, that coach has the right to coach the athlete for the rest of their career.
REF! – Complaining to the referee has no impact on the amount of decisions given for or against a team. It does, however, lead to an increase in bookings for the player committing the foul. Don't be that guy.
And now for my weekly trumpet blowing. This week I had my birthday. I'm now 28 years old, but because I'm still a big kid I like to drag out my birthday as much as possible. This year, my girlfriend woke up early, placed out my presents and made me a very carb heavy breakfast that included indoor fireworks. She's also taking me out to a posh restaurant tomorrow.
Aside from that, I've done some coaching, planned some training programmes for athletes that I coach online, and also wrote this article for FreeLapUSA.
I've started to read a new book too – Drop Dead Healthy by A.J. Jacobs. It details him spending a year of his life trying to get as healthy as possible. If that sounds like something you'd be interested check it out- Drop Dead Healthy: One Man's Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection
Have a good weekend!

The above is the local livistonia palm species called the Malayan Fan Palm ( livistonia rotundifolia). It is distinguished by its brick-red spherical fruits. It can grow tall maybe between 15- 20 m high. Another recognizable characteristic is its palmate leaves which are rounded with tips divided. The inflorescences are also long, up to1.6 m.
It is my hope that in the coming trip I will gather more pictures and information about Kuching trees, palms included for a proposed book I am planning to launch by October this year.

Revised Donegal panel for Dr McKenna Cup
Donegal are going to have to stick with the 26 man squad forwarded to the Ulster Council on Friday evening after a number of the original panel were ruled out through injury and illness.
Jim McGuinness was forced to revise his panel at the end of last week after up to ten of his original panel submitted to the Ulster Council before Christmas were ruled out either through the 'flu or with injury.
"We were under serious pressure on Friday evening and we were faced with the prospect of having just 17 fit players including goalkeepers Paul Durcan and Peter Boyle for Sunday's game with Tyrone. It was a serious situation so we had no choice but submit a second panel of players," said McGuinness.
"Neil Gallagher, Kevin Cassidy, Kevin Mulhern and Daniel McLaughlin were all out with the 'flu while Eddie Kelly, Christopher Murrin, Paul McGinley and Jason Noctor were all on the injured list and definitely were not in a position to play.
"And we had a few others with niggly knocks and injuries and the 'flu as well. Indeed things were so bad that we had guys who were fine at training on Thursday night but by Friday and Saturday they had picked up the bug and were unwell and out of the frame."
To bolster his squad and to give himself a few options on the bench the Donegal boss drafted in Conor Classon (Ardara), Luke Keaney (Four Masters), Ryan McErlean (Naomh Colmcille), Kealan McFadden (Glenswilly) and Odhran MacNiallais (Gaoth Dobhair) from his U-21 squad. These were the names that were forwarded to the Ulster Council as replacements for the injured Kelly, Murrin, Noctor, McKinley and McGinley.
According to the rules, Donegal must now stick with this panel of players for the duration of the Dr. McKenna Cup.
On the face of it does weaken his hand. However, with Kelly, Noctor, Murrin and McGinley all ruled out for the next few weeks it means that they were not going to be able to take part in the competition. And at least now with Friday's additions the manager has five more fit players.
"While we were disappointed that the game did not go ahead and we did not get the season up and running with the benefit of hindsight it was probably just as well that the game did not go ahead.
"Because on Sunday we had a situation where Karl Lacey, Dermot Molloy and Leo McLoone were all feeling unwell and whatever about starting the game they certainly would not have been able to play the full 70 minutes."
With Neil Gallagher, Kevin Mulhern and Daniel McLaughlin expected back at training this week and Kevin Cassidy already with a couple of sessions behind him McGuinness expects to have a much stronger side available to him for Saturday night's game with U.U.J.
Meanwhile, so as to avoid a recurrence of the 'flu bug or a further spread of the illness most of the Donegal squad received the 'flu vacine over the weekend. The only exceptions being those already suffering with the illness.
