There used to be a time when only the elite had mobile phones or cars. Today, both mobile phones and cars have become a necessity of life and nearly everyone has them. Quite a few people have multiple. These days the same can be said to be true of websites. More and more people are getting into creating a site to either represent themselves or their businesses. We have even heard of sites that act as invites to a wedding or a birthday.
As the need for websites increases, the demand for professionals has also increased. To capitalize this demand, several website builders have also been launched in the market, each claiming to be the best. Some claim that they have been in the market for a number of years and other claim that they offer brilliant designs. Many others claim that they are the most popular because their number of registered users exceeds a certain number. So how do you look for a good website builder? Let's take a look at their five must have features.
- One of the first features that you need to look for is diversity in designs. Unless it offers stunning designs that are significantly different from each other, you will not be able to build a site will help you make your own personal statement. Lack of design variety would just make your online presence look as if they are created from a template and similar to thousands of others created using that builder.
- Diversity in design needs to be accompanied by the ability to customize the design as per your requirement. This is also a must have feature that allows you to arrange things to suit your style. It also provides you the opportunity to create or represent your own brand.
- Ease of use. One of the major reasons people choose a creator is that it helps making sites easy. That is why whichever creator you use should be easy to use and user friendly. Look for a demonstration and determine if it is easy to create pages, hyperlinks, link menu items to pages, and enter text to these pages. Also, check if you can customize the design of individual pages as easily. Unless these tasks are user friendly and intuitive, you will not have the drive or the time to develop your website.
- Social media link backs and mobile-friendly pages. Another important feature is the ability of your site to link back to social media. This would help you publish links to any events, announcements, and promotions to your social media sites. Also, the technology used to create web pages should create pages that can be accessed on mobile phones so that people can utilize their extensive travel time viewing your site.
- SEO-friendly content. Your website builder should also provide social media friendly content so that it is searchable through a variety of search engines. Without this it would be nearly impossible for people to discover your website on the Internet.

Why do we need to study art appreciation?
When you look around, no matter where you are, you will see art. It comes in many forms—paintings, photographs, sculptures, body art, architecture, and more! The list is endless! You can find it in your home and workplace, in books and games, in nature and on city buildings. Everywhere you look at, you are sure to find one form of art or another.
Appreciating art should be an important part of education, regardless of age. But why do we need to study art?
When you see art, are you just merely looking at it or are you looking deeper? Everyone can appreciate the style or design of various works. However, there is so much more to experience when it comes to art. While the art may be interesting and beautiful on the surface, most of the time, the artist is trying to connect on a personal level. They are conveying an idea, feeling, or passion they want to share. When artists create something, regardless of the medium or style, their intention is to connect with others. They play on your emotions, make you think, and touch you on a personal level.
To truly have an appreciation for art, you must do more than just memorize the names as well as their artists. Art is subjective by nature, so it is important to learn to formulate and express your thoughts and opinions.
There are many benefits to learning how to recognize and understand art. Teaching art appreciation should be given an importance as part of education.
- Art appreciation is a great way to delve deeper into a period in history. Throughout history, an artist's work has reflected the time in which he or she lived—it shows a visual depiction of their time. Imagine being able to better understand a particular time in history by getting into the mind of an artist!
- Through diverse studies about art in other parts of the world, you can learn about other cultures, their beliefs, and history.
- Art appreciation improves communication skills, both through expression and understanding. Many people are unable to put their feelings into words, so they use art instead to express themselves. Having a deep level of appreciation for art will help you "listen" to what others are saying through their work.
You will become a better conversationalist. Not only will you have a better awareness and love for art, but you will also be able to share your thoughts with others. Dialogue about art can run deep, which enhances your relationship with others and allows you to learn from hearing their perspective.
Art has been around since the beginning of time and has always played an essential role in our lives. It's all around us after all! Learning to recognize the value of artwork is enriching and life-changing. You will gain a deeper understanding of the art that surrounds you, develop stronger observational skills, and learn to respond to a variety of perspectives.

Sony Annual Report 2009: Not All Bad News
Despite possibly setting a record for the amount of times it mentioned "loss" and being a prime example of how fast numbers can shrink, Sony's recently released 2009 Annual Report [PDF] still contained plenty of good news for gamers.
A common theme throughout the report of networked hardware brought reassurance to Sony's long term plan of creating various products that not only connect to one another, but also to the PlayStation Network, stating:
"Going forward, we will expand these networked services to a variety of Sony consumer electronic products."
Undeterred from their acknowledgment that worldwide PS2 hardware sales have declined (by half), Sony stated that they will continue to support the PS2 business, citing firm Middle Eastern and Asian demand as well as the systems ability to continue contributing profits.
Attributing to the reported 70% decrease in PlayStation3 productions costs, the report stated:
"…efforts to shrink the CELL/B.E. progressed according to plan as the original 90nm generation gave way to 65nm and then 45nm devices. Through this, as well as through ongoing efforts to reduce the number of components used, Sony will endeavor to further improve profitability."
I wonder how they'll be able to achieve that.

416 pages, Col photos, figs, tabs
This latest addition to the prestigious Systematics Association Special Volumes series is the first extensive compilation of the patterns of plant biodiversity in the species-rich savannas and seasonally dry forests of the neotropics. This overview also summarizes what is known of the evolutionary history of these ecosystems, including links to the development of analogous vegetation in Africa. Its focus on plant biodiversity and the molecular phylogenies and molecular population genetics for uncovering the biogeographic history of these ecosystems differentiates this work from previously published titles that mainly emphasized the ecology and physiology of the vegetation.

The subversive socialist liberals sure do!
Link to thread on Cochise County
Locked-up thread. I guess someone has a problem with you guys defending yourselfs in Cochise County. I feel that the citizens of your county have every right and should be able to use any means you feel fit to defend yourselfs against this invasion. If the Federal government had done its job, this problem would not exist.
LOL! You did mean that to be funny, right? I believe at least a few Americans have already contacted the White House in regard to defending our borders. But no response has been issued by the President on the subject thus far.
Why do we have foreign military units regularly tresspassing on peoples property for the purpose of enforcing a group of drug smugglers? Bush isnt doing anything about it. That doesnt mean people dont have a right to defend themselves. This guy is trying to call attention to the problem before it gets further out of control. For that you call him stupid.
Meanwhile if you were in their shoes you would just run away and abandon your home right? Otherwise you have to be at the mercy of a foreign military that can come on your property at anytime they wish.
When can a citizen defend himself? When a group of armed thugs tresspasses on the property? When the thugs have surrounded you and are pointing their guns at your head? Do you have to wait till they pull the trigger first?
Give them license to do as they will aside from shooting at you and eventually they wont have to shoot at you. Your right to self-defense will become a moot point.
You're joking, right?
Words of wisdom from the movie "The Patriot" starring Mel Gibson.
I believe in "Peace thru Streagth". If our federal government showed Mexico a little military streagth in defending our borders, we'd have peace in Cochise County.
Only real political pressure would make Washington send troops. I would guess the governors of border states would do something first, like use the national guard.
In an earlier period of American history, you could've said basically the same thing about another group of patriots. That idiot George Washington! What the hell did he think he was doing? Didn't he know that he could've been arrested for being in charge of a ragtag militia group that was killing British soldiers? That idiot!
Good man. I wish them well.
Is he getting fair treatment in the local press?
Sure he has. Bush has given us his grand we-can't-call-it-amnesty plan.
***an ex-Republican base voter***
Why do you say he's an idiot? Have we completely given up our property rights now? If the Mexican military decides to use your property for whatever reason --- drug smuggling being the most common reason they would ---- you are to turn over your property to them?
I don't live in a border state so correct me if I'm wrong but I never hear of border state governors taking a stand against the illegals crashing the border. Some even seem to be in pander mode, for votes I guess.
I do hear them asking for taxpayer money to offset the medical, education, crime, clean up and social program costs the illegals cause the states to incur.
Bush isn't in control over the Mexican excursions into the USA and they are becoming more bold. Fox is testing Bush --- he's seeing what he can get by with and for now he knows he can get by with a lot. I think Bush would have Americans let the Mexicans build their army bases on that land just to keep "positive" relations. We seem intent on keeping the corrupt elites over there in power no matter what the cost.
It's strange too that the Mexican government has it's military crawling all over the border, but Bush is too afraid of that government's reaction to put our military on the border to get them to back down. There are Mexican army guys all over the place --- and it's hard to know all what that's about.

Patent approved Magnascent iodine is formed when the iodine molecule is broken down to produce magnetically charged atoms of this essential element. This is iodine in the nascent state, but in a unique form which is consumable as a liquid supplement. It is widely known that iodine is an essential nutrient for the human body, and scientists and doctors have known for many decades about the unique properties of nascent iodine. However, the production of a stable and nutritionally practical nascent iodine product has eluded the medical community until recently.
After years of research into the science and history of nascent iodine, we have discovered a method by which nascent iodine can be formed using a unique electromagnetic process, thereby making Magnascent Iodine™ a powerful and practical enabler of improved health.

LANGKAWI: Two last place finishes during the race on the second day of the 16th Royal Langkawi International Regatta (RLIR) have not broken the spirit of team Zuhal in putting up more of a challenge to other competitors.
In the two races, the Royal Malaysian Armed Forces team faced stiff competition from 2016 champions, Alive who had earlier experienced technical difficulties.
However, an understanding between the crew which is becoming more positive has convinced Zuhal team captain Hairolnizam Hat that their team has what it takes to return to finish the race on the podium as how they did on the first day of competition yesterday.
"Competition is tight in the cluster of four teams competing in this Racing class," said Hairolnizam.
"Whatever it is, team Zuhal are showing improvements. The crew have a much better understanding between one another and they did try to do their best today.
"The winds were much better compared to yesterday and we hope tomorrow (Thursday) will be as good as today."
For the 16th edition, Zuhal have a new crew and Hairolnizam commented: "There is already good understanding, and for tomorrow we will step it up a notch and work towards the coveted podium finish."
After three races, Zuhal are fourth overall, on 11 points with Alive, while defending champions THA72 lead the Racing class by three points. Saturn's sister team, Uranus are in second place with six points.

Long jumper Lapierre eyes Rio medal amid 'best-ever' form
MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australian long jumper Fabrice Lapierre can see himself landing on the podium at the Rio Olympics after another encouraging performance at the Diamond League event in Birmingham at the weekend.
A world silver medallist in Beijing last year, Lapierre posted a jump of 8.21 metres to finish third behind winner Marquise Goodwin (8.42) and another American in Mike Hartfield (8.29) on Sunday.
It was the 32-year-old's fourth Diamond League podium of the year, having finished third in Rome and Shanghai and second last month in Rabat.
"I'm really confident," Lapierre told Australian media.
"I've been racking up the podiums and if I keep doing that, then going to Rio with the big stage, the momentum and the adrenaline, anything can happen.
"This is the best I've ever jumped in my life consistency-wise. When it comes to a major championship, I'm always going to lift.
"I've got two months to get stronger ... Once I do that, that's when I'll jump my jumps -- 8.40 and 8.50."
Lapierre, runner-up behind Olympic champion Greg Rutherford at last year's world championships, is hoping to be among the Briton's biggest threats in Rio.
He recorded his personal best of 8.40 back in 2010 and the Phoenix-based Australian felt he would have smashed that mark but for an error on his final jump in Birmingham.
"Instead of holding my hips up, I leant forward," Lapierre said of his error in flight, which he estimated cost him up to 30 centimetres.
"It would've been a really big jump."
Goodwin recorded the best jump of the year with his 8.45, a personal best, at Guadeloupe last month.

It is a common social practice to pressure the "go getter" into conformity when the majority of a group would otherwise look unproductive by comparison. It as well had been the practice of the former Soviet Union to praise a leader upon instalment, and to defame and ridicule such leader upon removal from office. I thought those practices were out of date until Frank Bauer's public defamation of Miles Mann.

Sales Engine International, a provider of integrated marketing and sales acceleration services, announced today the release of a new Content Creation Services offering for mid-sized B2B organizations.
Sales Engine's Content Creation Services will serve as a bridge product between the company's software-as-a-service (SaaS) marketing automation platform and its comprehensive marketing-as-a-service (MaaS) offering, and will be available to both current and new clients.
Structured to provide content for each stage of the buyer journey, the offering includes standard content and premium content, including infographics, whitepapers, videos, and editorials. Built around a model of fractional resources that specialize across content types and mediums, the content offering helps solve the content creation resource challenges of most typically staffed marketing organizations.
"Marketing automation has the ability to help organizations adapt to the new buyer journey, but the technology alone will not effectively engage the customer without the right content, available and delivered at the right time," said Mary Anne Gunn, vice president of marketing at Sales Engine International, in a statement. "By bringing Content Creation Services to the market as a standalone product, we can make a difference for those companies that have invested in automation but are still struggling with successful execution."

From the Nacogdoches Police Department
NACOGDOCHES, TX (KTRE) - A man wanted by Nacogdoches Police for failure to register as a sex offender for over four years has been apprehended by the US Marshal Service in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Charles Ray Rusk, age 55 was arrested yesterday in Shreveport. Rusk was also wanted by Nacogdoches Police for an aggravated robbery that occurred in Nacogdoches in January 2006. This incident occurred in the parking lot of Burger King at 2921 North Street, where a then 80 year old female victim was drug to the ground during a purse snatching.
Rusk was convicted in 1978 of sexual assault of an 8 year old female child.
NPD Detectives developed information that Rusk was living in the Shreveport area, and relayed this information to the federal authorities.
Rusk is currently being held in the Caddo Parish jail awaiting extradition.

Consolidation is in effect. When the Star-Bulletin Girls Basketball Top 10 was unveiled three weeks ago, 19 teams got at least one point in the voting by coaches and media.
Today, that number is down to 14. Why the sudden change?
There is a vast amount of turnover across the leagues, even within elite programs. Graduation and injuries have whittled down many teams, and there aren't many powerful new upstarts waiting to pounce.
That's why, even with 16 days of inactivity, Iolani still dominates the Top 10. The Raiders collected 18 of 19 first-place votes, and the only other No. 1 ballot went to two-time defending state champion Punahou.
In fact, when ILH teams last played, the league was represented in the Top 10 at No. 1, No. 3 and No. 5. Today, two nights before the league finally returns to action, there are ILH teams at No. 1, No. 2 and No. 6 -- virtually no change.
Moral of the story: Voters, many of whom had plenty of opportunity to scout OIA teams recently, aren't impressed enough yet with them to start demoting ILH squads.
After going 7-2 before the Oahu Interscholastic Association regular season began, Roosevelt has won its first five league games.
Keanini's team shot 1-for-23 from 3-point range and still managed to beat Kaimuki, then struggled at times in a minor upset of then-No. 2 Kalani. Then came a solid win at Moanalua, and now the voters are impressed.
Roosevelt zoomed up three notches to No. 4 today. Perhaps most notable isn't Roosevelt's lack of height or inconsistent shooting. It's the fact that Keanini takes risks to net high rewards, and his players respond well.
He moved point guard Dianna Zane to the low post against Kalani, and she promptly became a weapon. After drawing fouls down low, Zane attracted helpside defenders, then kicked the ball out to teammates like Tiyana Nakasone for open 3-point shots.
However, against Kalani on Saturday, the Raiders backed off into a halfcourt, man-to-man defense. They still scored a lot in transition. However, they didn't tinker defensively, and Kalani got into a groove, rallying from a 41-36 deficit for a resounding 17-point victory.
Perhaps it was a respect for Kalani's ballhandling skills that factored in Latu's decision. The host Falcons were surprised.
"I wanted them to press," Kalani coach Darold Imanaka said. "We can break it."
It was Kalani, actually, that offered a variety of presses before pulling back into an effective zone in the final quarter.
Will Kahuku let go of the leashes and press Kalani when they meet for a second time?
Latu won't say for sure, though he promised there would be some tweaks to the game plan.

This I believe…..that anger is a soreness to the soul.
I am not talking here about the anger that we may all feel at moments/events in life—
§ An injustice to a person
§ The death of a loved one
§ The actions of another toward me
§ The loss of opportunity such as a gold medal in the Olympics or
a job offer
Often times anger is an appropriate initial response that calls for action—appropriate and not equally destructive. The dying person may feel anger toward the loss of life. The bereaved may feel anger at loss of a loved one. But these are stages of grieving, as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross eloquently discussed in the book On Death and Dying. And we move on from this anger toward acceptance so that we can move on with our lives.
What I am referring to here is the anger that grips us. Or more exactly, the anger to which we cling – for years perhaps – long after the event that precipitated it.
Yes, there are life events that profoundly change the trajectory of one's life – a crippling injury, debilitating illness, the loss of a parent in childhood, the lack of affection and support in one's growing up years, the loss of employment after years of dedicated service, the betrayal of trust.
Such events can be, and indeed often are, traumatic. But I believe that the real devastation is in the clinging to the event, ruminating on the unfairness of the event, on the loss to one self, on the loss of possibility due to the event.
Such anger, I believe, leads to a life NOT lived in its fullness of potential. Such anger saps our energy, energy that could be used–for renewal, redirection, exploration of what is available despite the loss, for rebuilding and generating newness of life.
We can't build on anger; left unchecked, I believe that it ultimately it destroys us. And so we see the destruction of nations, buildings, families and worst, I believe, of the SELF.
Anger can become an excuse for destruction, most especially of the self. The self lays blame on others. The self becomes encased in bitterness, isolation, self-annihilation. The self focuses inward and becomes depressed.
The self has a "heart attack," not just in the physical sense but mainly in the spiritual sense. The heart is so clogged with anger that there is little room for the joy of life to penetrate and take up residence, for the healing powers of friendship, family and human relationships and engagement to enter and give solace.
This I believe——that a life lived well calls on us to release our anger, not cling to it. To do otherwise is to have soreness in the soul and true hardening of the arteries.
As Francis Bacon said: A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.

|This article is written from the Real Life point of view
This page is a list of commercials for the Metroid series.
The Japanese Metroid commercial was the first Metroid commercial in existence. A view of the Milky Way Galaxy is seen as a beam shot is fired at it. An explosion occurs with a live action Samus Spin Jumping out of it, and landing on a Famicom Disk System cartridge, aiming at the screen as the Metroid game logo is shown at the bottom of the screen. Short clips of footage from the game are seen as the commercial cuts back to the live action Samus, who is running, with the Power Suit giving off a large cloud of steam as she jumps into the screen and turns into her 8-bit self. Samus flies out of a beam of light to conclude the commercial. [1]
The commercial was formerly available on the Metroid Zero Mission Official Site, but has since been removed.
| 銀河連邦指令 メトロイドを破壊せよ!
Ginga renpo shirei, Metoroido o hakai seyo!
The Galactic Federation orders you to destroy the Metroids!
—Dialogue in Japanese, romanized and English.
There are three American commercials for Metroid. The first commercial features a young boy playing the game, performing several acrobatic moves and being teleported into the screen at the end. A commercial for the game Rad Racer then plays. Throughout the commercial, a man is speaking, "The challenge is Metroid, the power is Nintendo! Defend the planet Zebes against the evil Mother Brain! It's survival, or destruction! To battle, or to die! Metroid, only for Nintendo!" [2]
The second commercial does not specifically advertise Metroid, but has a reference to it. In a Toys R Us commercial, a man and his son go to several stores looking for NES games, including a fictional Tourian store called Kraid's Toy Shop, until they enter Toys R Us. Metroid is one of the games on display at the end of the commercial. [3] The third commercial is another, much shorter Toys R Us advertisement, with Metroid being on display at the end along with Punch-out!!, The Legend of Zelda and Duck Hunt. [4]
Samus can be seen firing at the screen in this Spanish NES commercial. Her appearance is based on artwork for Metroid. [5]
Metroid II: Return of SamusEdit
The Japanese commercial for Metroid II is a mix of comic book art, live action and a toy action figure of Samus. The commercial begins showing Samus' Gunship landing, with a cloud of gas. The Game Boy logo is above the ship as Samus walks into the caverns of SR388. As she stands at the entrance, her Power Suit turns into the Varia Suit. A first-person view of Samus' visor is shown as she sees a Gawron swooping down at her. She aims at an Octroll that rises out of a pool of Water, Screw Attacks up to a ledge, falls down a shaft and shoots a Gullugg and Skreek. At the end of the commercial, we see Samus being attacked by an Omega Metroid. The focus zooms into Samus' Arm Cannon as the Missile hatch opens and explodes. The logo can be seen in front of the explosion. The last scene is of Samus' helmet, with footage of an Omega Metroid battle ingame reflected off the helmet. Throughout the trailer, a man speaks in Japanese: "Introducing Metroid II, the action game that's causing waves in America! As metroids increase in power, find all the items. With countless enemies and bosses to destroy along the way, it's the ultimate in game excitement! Now on Gameboy: Metroid II!" The end of the commercial features the infamous phrase "Metroid... Omoroido!" [6]
There are four Metroid II-themed commercials. The first depicts a human male face forming out of SR388 terrain, narrating the commercial as footage ingame is played. The dialogue is: "Be afraid. Be very afraid. One life-sucking Metroid survived the first Metroid adventure, and it's multiplying rapidly! You must help Samus save the universe again! In Metroid II. So we're giving you more power, and mightier weapons, to search a bigger world! Destroy, or be destroyed! The future is in your hands!" The dialogue is slightly inconsistent with the game as the Metroids on SR388 were there before the events of Metroid, rather than one Metroid surviving the first game and rapidly multiplying. When this is heard, many enemies in game (such as Moheeks, Skreeks and Hornoads) multiply and cause the terrain of SR388 to deteriorate. [7]
The second commercial was for Kool-Aid, advertising the game in a contest. [8] The third commercial was an advertisement for the Super Game Boy, with footage of Metroid II on the player screen. The fourth is also advertises the Super Game Boy, featuring the Wu-Tang Clan spray-painting the Super Game Boy in a Super Nintendo Entertainment System, then painting a Metroid II: Return of Samus cartridge into it. They proceed to paint the fight between the Queen Metroid and Samus Aran on-screen, as well as the Super Game Boy boxart with Samus and her Gunship. [9]
Super MetroidEdit
The Japanese commercial depicts the beginning events of the game, with the baby in its stasis tube being analyzed by Lab Workers with the Bioreactor System. The lights flicker before a siren sounds. A silhouette of Ridley is shown before the baby's capsule is seen carried away in his talon. Samus notices and throws her lab coat off, running to her Power Suit in her Justin Bailey. The last scene depicts her ship in live action, flying to Zebes. Some game footage is shown before the Nintendo logo and a chime from Mario plays. [10]
There were also two Play it Loud commercials with footage from the Crocomire and Mother Brain battles. [11][12]
Ad reelEdit
This article's name is an unofficial translation from official Japanese media
and may not represent the canonical English name, if one exists.
An alternate name from an official source may be required.
On Mar. 19, 2014, the 20th anniversary of Super Metroid, the Metroid Database released a reel of Japanese commercials for the game, featuring gameplay footage with narrations by a voice actress as Samus.[13] The commercials reveal that Super Metroid is set in Cosmic Calendar year 20X7, which would be two years after Metroid/Zero Mission. The reel is split into four segments: Invasion, Battle, Alone and Mother. In-game audio and music, such as the Norfair Hot Lava Area theme, can be heard against Samus's voiceover.
—Introduction text
| Samus: Cosmic Calendar 20X7. Research on the Baby Metroid, the mysterious life-form I brought back from Planet SR-388... was going smoothly. However...
Narrator: The Baby Metroid has been stolen! Get it back immediately!
Samus: My name is Samus Aran. My deadly battle with the Metroids has begun again.
Narrator: The Space Pirates have rebuilt their fortress on Planet Zebes! It's hidden underground! We're counting on you!
—First advertisement
| Landing in a downpour of acid rain, I made my way alone to the underground fortress.
Why is it so quiet here...?
I was tense, when suddenly... an enormous Chozo Statue appeared before me!
An item!
Now if I can just get out of this eerie place...
Gasp! Enemies!
I kept firing relentlessly.
Don't mess with me!
—Samus; Invasion
| My daily struggle with life and death continued. The ferocity of my battle grew daily.
They... just keep jumping at me!
What is this place?
Something's coming! What IS that thing?
It looks like this creature is the boss of this area!
Eat this!
—Samus; Battle
| Further ahead lay the dark underground fortress.
Argh! This infernal labyrinth! There's no way out!
Ugh! If this keeps up, I'll be trapped here!
I can't go even one step further!
My days of agony and frustration continued, until finally...
A way through! Now I can move forward a little.
—Samus; Alone
| I don't know how much time has passed since I infiltrated Zebes.
My powers grow with each battle.
The Baby Metroid! I definitely heard it just now! The Baby Metroid is calling for me!
I was the first thing it saw when it was born, so the Baby Metroid thinks I'm its mother.
I am the only one who can get it out of here! I will never forgive them!
Ugh! No!
I was struck by the intense heat of the lava.
Power Suit: Danger! Danger! Remaining Energy: 10, 9, 8...
If I can't get out of here, I'm done for!
Narrator: It's an intense science fiction action game! Super Metroid for the Super Famicom! We hope you'll succeed in your mission as quickly as possible.
Coming March 19
For more information regarding this commercial, see Killer. [14]
This commercial is split into 2 parts. The first part begins by showing the game's box against a space background, with the announcer saying "Super Metroid" in German. The commercial then cuts to Samus battling Ridley in the Ceres space colony. Worth mentioning is that in the video, Samus has the Charge Beam, which in game cannot be obtained until the player reaches Zebes. The commercial then changes to footage of Samus in Norfair. In this video, Samus has the Screw Attack. Next is a segment where Samus is battling Metroids in Maridia, which only appear in Tourian in the final game. Then the commercial goes to a clip of Samus battling the Spore Spawn, but with much more equipment than she would normally have at that point in the game. The final clip shows Samus firing the Wave Beam at Mini Kraid. At the beginning of the second part, the commercial shows a moon sky background with piano music playing and cursive text showing on the screen, before the music cuts to heavy metal and game footage with non-cursive text appearing onscreen. Before the commercial ends, the moon background and cursive text is shown again, one final time. The text during the commercial translates to: "A woman seeks her place in an unforgiving world. A universe of terrible Metroids, with one goal, her life. NINTENDO PRESENTS: ONLY FOR SUPER NINTENDO. 24 MEGS, 6 GIGANTIC WORLDS. That is no world for a lady." [15]
Metroid FusionEdit
The Japanese commercial is the sister to the American commercial. This one depicts live action versions of the opening scene where Samus is having her surgery at Galactic Federation Headquarters. Her eyes can be seen through her visor, and bits of gooey yellow compounds, X Parasites, crawl on her suit. A Metroid, presumably the Baby is seen before cables fall and Samus awakes in her Fusion Suit. Game footage then follows. [16]
This is the first live-action commercial to be released in America. It takes place in a location called the "Metroid Fusion Bio-Lab", an area containing Hornoads and Kihunters. Samus shoots a Hornoad then takes down the group of Kihunters with a Missile. As she closes the Missile hatch on her Arm Cannon, several X Parasites are absorbed by her. At the end of the commercial, the SA-X (whose costume appears to have been reused from Metroid Prime) drops in and stares at Samus. Samus fires a Missile at it as the commercial ends. A narrator speaks at the end: "Exterminating evil gives you strength. But are you strong enough to face your greatest fear? Metroid Fusion. Only on Game Boy Advance. Rated E for Everyone." [17]
Metroid PrimeEdit
Two commercials were released for Prime in Japan. Both commercials were the first Japanese advertisements for the game that did not contain any live-action footage. Gameplay shown in the two commercials differ. Notably, all Visors are shown, with screenshots of their HUD view absorbed into Samus' own visor in the Thermal Visor acquisition cutscene. [18] [19]
For more information regarding this commercial, see Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime Nintendo Gamecube Preview DVD trailer.
Metroid: Zero MissionEdit
This commercial begins with live action footage of Japanese actress Chisato Morishita portraying Zero Suit Samus, navigating through a tunnel. As she crawls, several beams of light fly past her, these are presumably Space Pirate weapon fire. Samus regains her Power Suit as footage of the Kraid, Mua and Ridley boss battles ingame are shown as well as the actual ingame Zero Suit sequence. The last scene shows Samus in her Power Suit walking away from an explosion. A 30 second version can be found here: [20] and 15 second here: [21]
The commercial is one of several in a series of "Who Are You?" advertisements, depicting players acquiring the skills of their favorite video game characters. The commercial is depicted in a gymnasium setting. A girl (presumably Samus) is seen performing numerous back flips before Spin Jumping through the air (the motion of which is identical to the spin jump of Zero Suit Samus in the game) before landing on the gym mat. Game footage then follows. [22]
Metroid Prime 2: EchoesEdit
Two non-live action commercials were released for Echoes in Japan. The first consists of gameplay footage, with battle music playing, in between clips of text in Japanese. The only English sentence is "She is back.", referring to Samus. [23]
The second one has the Dark Echoes theme, mixed in with fast-paced clips of gameplay that seem to be synced to the music. [24]
Three commercials were released for Echoes in North America. The first consists of minor clips of gameplay footage, as well as some sound effects (most noticeably Space Pirate grunting), and the message "If you weren't afraid of the dark before, you will be." The commercial ends with a different message, "Protect the light." [25]
The second commercial was in live-action, part of the series of Who Are You? commercials. More information can be found here.
The third commercial is noticeably more aggressive, featuring electric guitar music played alongside fast-paced gameplay footage, with game site reviews inserted in between. [26]
The Canadian commercial is framed in the style of an anti-drug public service announcement, and has been heavily panned for its perceived insensitivity and lack of connection to the game. Filmed at Burnaby North Secondary School in British Columbia, it features a female high school student mourning the loss of her friend "Mike". She had lost him to Echoes, presumably because he became addicted. The end of the commercial features a narrator saying that "millions of people would lose loved ones" to the game. [27]
The German commercial is the same as the American "Who Are You?" commercial. The only difference is (of course) that the speech is spoken in German instead of English. [28]
Metroid Prime Hunters: First HuntEdit
The only commercial for the game shows a man in a cafeteria, noticing some lettuce and touching the glass. An explosion occurs on the lettuce as he leaves. Gameplay footage then follows. A voice speaks during the commercial: "If it gets in your way, touch it, blast it." The commercial ends with the caption "touching is good." This is referring to the controls of the demo, which involve tapping a creature on the touch screen to shoot it. [29]
Metroid Prime PinballEdit
In the Japanese commercial, there is simply speech overtop of gameplay footage, and at the end, Japanese men playing the game. [30]
Metroid Prime HuntersEdit
Two Japanese commercials were released for the game, and both of them are somewhat identical.
The first features an American Trace player and a Japanese Samus player fighting on Alinos Perch. After Trace snipes Samus, she falls down from the top of the cliff, and some footage of multiplayer matches are shown before the commercial ends.[31]
In the second commercial, the two players from the first commercial along with two new ones are seen fighting on Combat Hall. The two players from the first commercial use Trace and Samus once again, and the two new players use Spire and Weavel, the former of whom is killed by another snipe.[32]
For more information regarding this commercial, see Dig.
Three commercials for the game were made in Korea.
The first is similar to the Japanese commercial, featuring two Asian players competing once again on Alinos Perch, using Samus and Trace once again. The catch is that this time, Trace is positioned on the cliff, while Samus is at the bottom, supposedly unsuspecting. As Trace is about to snipe, Samus notices, dodges and fires a shot at Trace. More gameplay footage is shown before the end.[33]
The second is essentially a remake of the Japanese commercial. The two Asian players from the first commercial "reprise" their roles as Trace and Samus, while two new players use Sylux and Weavel. From the top of the room, Weavel is sniped and killed by Trace.[34]
The third commercial actually shows some story mode footage, such as Samus fighting Spire, the Arctic Spawn, a Cretaphid and rolling through a tunnel.[35]
The Spanish commercial is rather short, and features the singers of the popular duo Estopa in a desert-like area with several planets in the background. One of the men is wearing Samus' helmet, and the other is wearing the shoulders of the Varia Suit and the Arm Cannon. Some brief gameplay footage is shown after the men disappear. Interestingly, a black Luminoth and an Ing can be seen in the background.[36]
Metroid Prime 3: CorruptionEdit
There were four commercials released in Japan for Corruption. In the first, three players, one a young male, one a more mature male and the third a young female are seen playing the game. Gandrayda and Space Pirates play as the players shoot, navigate, and battle. The gameplay footage's quality is quite high. [37] The second commercial is a shorter version of the first, featuring only the Japanese woman, and more gameplay than player. [38] The third is another shorter commercial, featuring the older male playing the game. [39] The final depicts the young male. [40]
For more information regarding this commercial, see Airport / Internet.
In the first commercial, a young British man is seen demonstrating the new Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls in the game. Most of the gameplay footage is from the battle with the Space Pirates in Cargo Dock B. [41] In the second commercial, a young British woman with Samus' hairstyle is in the man's place, and most of her footage depicts battles with the Pirates and Rundas in the Temple of Bryyo. [42]
Similar to the second UK commercial, now featuring the woman resembling Samus in full length, and with Spanish voiceover. [43]
Similar to the above European commercials, but, of course, with Italian voiceover. [44]
Similar to the above European commercials, but with a young Belgian man and Belgian voiceover. [45]
Similar to the above European commercials, but with a young Dutch man playing the game, and Dutch voiceover. [46]
Similar to the above European commercials, but, of course, with French voiceover. This commercial once again features the woman resembling Samus. [47] [48]
Identical to the English commercial, featuring the man. [49] (low-res footage)
New Play Control! Metroid PrimeEdit
Two commercials for the game was released. Both share the same premise; footage of the game with a Wii Remote and Nunchuk in front, being used to control. At the start of both commercials, a third person Samus is seen, being controlled by the Wii Remote/Nunchuk. [50]
Metroid: Other MEdit
Three commercials were released for the game in Japan, none of them being live-action.
The first commercial features the music from the scene of Adam's demise in Sector Zero. While it had scenes that were previously shown, it also featured new footage of Samus activating her suit at the end of the Sector Zero cutscene, the flashback of Ian Malkovich's death and Samus walking through Galactic Federation Headquarters at the end of the game. Throughout the commercial, Samus speaks: "How long has it been since then...? I've always been stubborn and closed myself off to people since I lost my parents when I was young. I was too young. I was such a child..." More speech from ingame is also heard in flashback scenes. [51]
The second commercial shows footage from Metroid before the camera zooms into the running Samus sprite. It explodes and reforms as Samus in her Other M appearance, as she takes on a Cyborg Zebesian. The music playing in the commercial is during Samus' escape from Sector Zero, before she is forced to activate her Gravity Feature. The commercial shows the player utilizing the Wii Remote held sideways in Other M scenes, to compare it with the original NES Controller scheme in Metroid. At the end of the commercial, the game's Japanese boxart is shown, while Samus from Metroid runs across the screen. The phrase from the Metroid II commercial, "Metroid... Omoroido!" is heard. [52]
The third and final commercial shows Ridley and MB for the first time since their appearances in the E3 2009 trailer. New footage is shown, and more dialogue is heard. The music playing is from the cutscene before the Ridley battle. MB's voice is heard for the first time. The commercial also brought on much speculation as to a traitor in the 07th Platoon, as the first mention of the Deleter is made in her dialogue. [53]
The commercial for the UK is a mix of game footage and clips of a male player, who appears to be in his late 30s. The commercial showed the Groganch.

Two Metroid-related Japanese commercials have been released in Japan. They are not necessarily Metroid game commercials, but merely contain Metroid elements. The first is for Super Smash Bros. and features four Japanese children walking through grassy plains, and seeing Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu battle on stage. Samus appears in scenes of the introduction and the character select screen. [54]
There was also yet another "Who are you?" commercial, from the same series as the American Zero Mission and Echoes commercials. At the end, some school students in the crowd of players outside the video game store are wearing Samus' helmet (in its Prime appearance). [55]
Two more Metroid-related American commercials have been released. Both are related to Super Smash Bros. In the first commercial live mascots dressed as Mario, Pikachu, Donkey Kong and Yoshi battle each other. The only instance of a Metroid element is of Samus on the game boxart at the end. [56]
The second is for Super Smash Bros. Melee. Footage of Samus fighting Mario on Planet Zebes: Brinstar and then the scene in the intro of the fight on Ceres in Super Metroid are played in this commercial, which depicts a man observing two samurai fighters in a glass tank inside a building, with a voice saying, "That's not a fight. This is a fight." [57]

The Super Computing Science Consortium, 2005
Formed in 1999 and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Super Computing Science Consortium is a regional partnership of research and educational institutions in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. (SC)2 provides intellectual leadership and advanced computing and communications resources to solve problems in energy and the environment and to stimulate regional high-technology development.
(SC)2 co-chairs: Lynn Layman, PSC, and Bob Romanowsky, NETL. "The (SC)2 partnership continues to advance research in both energy and the environment," says Layman. "Our regional partners are joining together to move forward our nation's knowledge in these vital areas."
PSC supplies training along with consulting support to (SC)2 partners. Training includes workshops in parallel programming and visualization. In September 2005, PSC scientific-visualization specialist Kent Eschenberg presented a tutorial on ParaView, an application for visualization of large data sets, to NETL researchers. ParaView runs on distributed parallel systems such as PSC's LeMieux and Big Ben.
Since the spring of 2000, a high-speed network — the first fiber-optic service to Morgantown, West Virginia — has linked the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) campuses in Morgantown and Pittsburgh with PSC, facilitating NETL collaborations. Researchers at NETL and WVU have actively used this link to tap PSC computational resources. Since the founding of (SC)2, more than 40 (SC)2 researchers have used PSC systems for a range of projects, using more than 2.6 million hours of computing time, 840,000 hours within the past year. Along with surface chemistry simulations described here (facing page), this work includes:
- gas from black liquor
- fluidized-bed combustion of silane,
- lean-fuel mixes in next-generation power-generating turbines,
- industrial-scale technology for coal gasification,
- a new design for a power-generating turbine.
(SC)2 at Supercomputing '04
In November 2004 for the first time, (SC)2 sponsored a booth at Supercomputing, the annual International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking and Storage. The conference, held in Pittsburgh for the second time in eight years, features displays and demonstrations by leading vendors and research organizations around the world. The booth featured posters highlighting research activities from (SC)2 partners. In the photo is Barbara Kirby of Waynesburg College, who represents Waynesburg on the (SC)2 steering committee and chaired the booth team.
Teaming to Win
(SC)2 joined other regional organizations at West Virginia's Teaming to Win conference June 1-2, at the Stonewall Resort, Walkersville, West Virginia. Sponsored by Congressman Allan B. Mollohan (WV, Dist. 1), the event provides a forum for West Virginia organizations to explore opportunities for collaborative projects. The photo shows Brian Dotson and Steve Zitney of NETL preparing a demonstration of their 3D visualization capability.
Hydrogen from Fossil Fuels
The Bush administration's announcement in 2003 of a hydrogen fuel initiative has spurred interest in hydrogen's potential to play a major role in U.S. long-term energy planning. Hydrogen is clean, efficient and with hydrogen fuel-cell technology could power cars, airplanes, furnaces and air conditioners. One of the major challenges, however, in harnessing this renewable resource is finding affordable ways to produce fuel-quality hydrogen.
As a member of NETL's Computational Chemistry Team, NETL scientist Dan Sorescu has used PSC resources for a wide range of studies. In this work, he applies quantum-theory calculations from first principles to gain detailed molecular understanding of the chemistry and physics underlying fossil-fuel related processes. In work this year, he used Ben — PSC's 64-processor Alphaserver cluster — to explore a catalytic process that offers the potential of recovering hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide (H2S), one of the principal byproducts from fossil fuel.
Titanium dioxide — a material found in beach sand and widely used as a white pigment — catalyzes the reaction by which hydrogen sulfide dissociates to hydrogen and sulfur. It does this by providing a surface to which H2S chemically adheres — adsorbs — and from which H2 subsequently desorbs. As these three frames show, Sorescu's computations with Ben map the sites on a titanium dioxide (gray & red) surface where H2S (white & yellow) adsorbs, leading to sulfur formation and desorption of hydrogen. This kind of detailed understanding is essential to optimize the catalytic process.

This is the last in a series of posts evaluating the differences between technology and IT. While it is easy to list differences, this approach rarely reveals the dynamics behind those differences. Applying an analogy to compare two things helps communicate those differences. In this case we are using the analogy of a game and how game mechanics applies to IT and Technology. This post concentrates on participation, answering the question, who plays the technology game? The answer is everyone and that is one of the differences between technology and IT.
The figure below highlights the game elements.
Participation describes those involved in the game, their roles, motivations and the relationships to the rest of the game elements. Determining participation involves understanding the basic type of games:
IT is a game of individuals working around a fixed goal. IT projects and services represent fixed goals. IT participants follow IT management and organizational practices that concentrate on highly structured participations. RACI charts, governance structures, project charters, roles and responsibilities are each examples of a highly structured IT game.
Here comes everybody – the nature of the digital technology game
My apologies to Clay Shirkey and his excellent book of the same name, but everyone plays in a technology game. Everyone has the potential to play any or all roles in the game. That is what it makes it different from the IT game. It is what is behind a more thoughtful approach to consumerization of IT. It seeks to capture the essence of the 'maker' culture.
The evidence that everyone can play in the technology game is all around us. A mobile applications marketplace that the WSJ estimates to be worth $25 billion dollars, application stores with millions of downloads and citizen developers each point to the diversity of players in a technology game.
So how do you define a game in which everyone participates?
Well you have to keep it simple, open, with clear connections to the goals and a self-evident connection with the context that shapes the interactions among participants. That all sounds pretty academic but lets consider the degree to which participation has changed from the old IT game to the new Technology game.
In the IT game, participants were required to perform a dizzying array of technical tasks from development, to testing, to migration and provisioning. All of that manual labor has largely been replaced by machine labor via data center, change management, testing and other forms of automation. Everyone can provision an application or app to the entire world via an 'app store'. Programming languages have been simplified with API's lowering complexity and the requirement for deep systems knowledge.
Increasingly the Technology Game is open to every one and their participation will lock in and shape the differences between IT and Technology.

Discussion in 'BlackHat Lounge' started by starcity83, Aug 31, 2011.
Wouldn't it be cool if on December 21st, 2012 we get some full frontal Big Foot
footage where the people filming aren't mangled!? eep:
Haha, I'm expecting zombies, but that would be cool too!
I thought Bigfoot proved to be a hoax
Bigfoot is a hoax.
And the longer the hoax goes on the more hoaxes there will be.
If it ever seems like the bigfoot videos are real it's only because todays advancements in technology makes faking vidoes easier each day. Therefore the hoaxes will continue and probably get better which makes even more people believe the nonsense.
Now if we could see a lochness monster video that would be cool
I think you speak from gut feeling rather than any knowledge on the subject, as most people do.
I speak from common sense.
There is no way that any living species on this earth has managed to outsmart humans for this long.
If that was the case, then we would have much bigger problems.
Hilarious how Bigfoot, aliens, ghosts, loch ness monster, god, etc. was seen every day by people in the 90s/early2000's, now that damn near everyone has a camera/camcorder on their phone that's with them almost all the time they suddenly stopped.
I actually have better footage than that. Man it was scary too!
not only he has big foot - he also has big chin
Would that that be the same "common" sense that once caused the uninformed to believe that the earth was flat?
It doesn't have to outsmart humans due to humans consistently outsmarting themselves with unsubstantiated declarations based upon nothing.
How, for instance do you explain the oral history and folklore of native american tribal groups such as the Algonkian, Penutian, Chimakuan, Hokan-Coahiltecan, Iroquoian, Wakashan, Tanoan, Aztec-Ianoan, Siouan-Yuchi, Salish (40 or more tribes are represented by these groups), and many others, which all have a common thread of giant hairy man-like creatures that inhabit the deepest forests of North America. Much of this folklore pre-dates European settlement and some is even of Pre-Columbian extraction.
How also do you explain the thousands of eye-witness reports related over more than two centuries. Even Teddy Roosevelt had a second- hand account to tell as far back as the early 1900's. Google for it.
The first recorded sighting by a person of European descent was in 1811 by David Thompson. But maybe he was hoaxing way back then.
@Blackhatbigfoot, you ever been to the Shasta Mountains ?
Just wondering.
@Tymillz, I stay away from Mount Shasta and its environs unless it is daytime and I'm with a group. That place can be dangerous especially after dark. Mount Shasta has long been a sort of special territory for these creatures and here, it seems, they are very aggressive. The first nation people I know won't venture there either
Please explain more.
I think I may travel there one day myself. Just to get a first hand experience.
What i mean when I say that the area around Mt. Shasta can be dangerous is this. The area has apparently had a large Sasquatch population for hundreds of years according to first nation legends. The creatures are reported to be more territorial here than anywhere else in Washington state.
Visitors to the immediate area may encounter ungodly screams, wood-knocking sounds echoing through the forest, large rocks being thrown, dead trees being pushed over, stalking, you name it. Don't even think about using a firearm to scare these things, it only makes them angrier (but do pack some power just in case).
They are familial in nature so if you shoot one, his mom, dad, or brother will be right there in the same area and you will never get out of the forest alive. Over the last ten years several hunters have never been seen again after hunting this area. Don't camp overnight near Mt. Shasta. This is just my opinion.
Well guys, IM has got me locked down in my basement in front of my many computers. Once I finish this campaign, I will make sure to step out of the house once I am finished
That one was my brother
He dont shave much
Bigfoot is seen sometimes with UFO sightings
Everybody loves a good bigfoot joke. I know i do (witness my username). But when you are out in certain areas of remote wilderness in this country, you may find the subject of bigfoot all too serious. But most people won't have to worry about that because they will wait until bigfoot shows up on their doorstep selling encyclopedias before they investigate the matter. Until then they will confidently declare that there is no such thing.
BTW, sorry to cast the sour note of credibility on this subject when everybody was having such a good time. So if possible, carry on with the bigfoot funny stuff hee hee ha ha and all that rot.
Hmff.. nice topic. just what i need..
