| 'Play Misty for Me'. The first movie he directed. 'The Unforgiven' is in second place. So many great and not so great films. I loved 'Bronco Billy', 'Joe Kidd' and 'The Outlaw Josey Wales'. |

6Poo Water Being Transformed Into Biodiesel, Methane For Poor African Communities
Poop is a problem for much of Africa's population, as many countries and areas lack adequate waste collection services. This leads to overflowing latrines and toilets, making the spread of deadly dieseses a certainty. Ghana-based Waste Enterprisers, in conjunction with Columbia University and Kwame Nkrumah University, has used the aforementioned $1.5 million to set up a waste collection agency that doesn't dispose of poo-water, but rather converts it into usable fuels. This kills (or rather, saves) two birds with one stone, as about 85% of fecal waste collected is just dumped back into the environment, untreated. A little untreated poo never hurt anyone, but when you're talking on a scale of hundreds of millions of people, with little to nothing in the way of environmental regulations protecting them, well, its a situation that can (and is) out of control.
But by converting that fecal matter into fuel for cars, buses, and industries, Waste Enterprisers is able to collect poo-water from locals, free of charge, and then sell them a locally-made fuel product. It's business meets sustainability, so long as they can turn a profit. And if they can turn a profit, it could be the start of an entirely new industry in Africa with huge, positive repercussions across the continent. It's a business plan that could be developed anywhere in the developing world, and it could save many, many lives…while still making a buck.

And Lab212 has taken that feeling one step further with their Starfield swing installation that lets you rocket through the universe instead. Advertisement Think of it as a more interactive version of that star field screensaver. Behind the swing sits a Kinect sensor which tracks your motion, moving the star field in unison so it feels like you're passing through it. And so it doesn't feel like you're not making any progress, the star field moves twice as fast when you swing forwards as it does when you swing back. For added effect, the star field can also be rendered in 3D using the simple anaglyph approach requiring the swinger to wear red and blue glasses. But given the last time I got on a swing a few months ago I got sick to my stomach, I think I'll just to my screensaver for simulated space journeys.

Under Pressure (Live) - lyrics
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building down,
splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
That's OK
It's the terror of knowing
what this world is about
Watching some good friends
screaming "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Chippin around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
People on streets
People on streets
It's the terror of knowing
what this world is about
Watching some good friends
screaming "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love.....
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance, this is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure

Popular app can check grades, report bullies
Updated 10:50 pm, Friday, July 6, 2012
Want to keep up with Judson Independent School District varsity scores, find campus phone numbers or check out the district's Facebook page?
There's an app for that.
Judson's free mobile application has been installed about 4,500 times since its February debut, said Steve Young, the district's chief technology officer. That's about one time for every five students in the district.
With a password, parents and students even can keep up with grades.
"When I was in school, I had a couple of weeks of freedom," Young said. "Now a teacher can put (grade information) in and a parent can check midday on their phone."
Judson is one of at least two dozen Texas school districts — using an array of platforms — to launch a mobile app, including tiny McDade ISD, which has fewer than 200 students.
The most popular feature on Judson's app is a "news feed" that allows users to keep up with district happenings, Young said. It also has a simple form to report bullying, which he said he's considering expanding so users can report other problems, such as fraud and waste.
The district has received 75 reports of bullying since the app went live, but Young said he couldn't determine how many came from mobile users and how many were generated using an identical form on the district's website. Several were from obvious pranksters, he added.
Eran Zinman, who works in research and development at Conduit Mobile, the company whose platform Judson used to design its app, said the district's bully report feature has been popular with other school districts.
"We're thinking about adding it as one of our regular features," Zinman said.
Judson staff noticed something last January when looking at district website traffic.
"Ten percent of our traffic to our webpage was coming from mobile devices," Young said. "Well, geez, if it's 10 percent now, it's only going to go up."
It seemed only logical that the district should have its own mobile app, which would make it easier for people to access content from their tablets or cell phones. There was only one problem.
"We really didn't have the talent in house," Young said.
The district has people who can build websites but nobody who can develop apps. But Young and his team were building one within weeks, using Conduit Mobile's platform.
Anyone who wants to create an app quickly and inexpensively — from a musician looking to reach fans to a blogger whose readers like to check in on the go — can use the platform, but Zinman said an increasing number of school districts are trying it out.
South San ISD has a Conduit app, which the district's director of technology, Paul Briseno, created at home one weekend after seeing Judson's results.
As of last week, that app had been installed 154 times, according to district spokesman Ed Suarez. He said Briseno spent about $125 on fees to Apple and Google, for which he could be reimbursed by the district.
The Judson app cost $623 plus staff time, Young said, because when the popularity of the app increased, the district paid Conduit $499 for a lifetime of unlimited installs.
District data show that people are viewing the app from at least 20 countries, including Israel, where Conduit has an office, and as far away as Australia.
Young speculated that some of that traffic might be coming from military parents who want to keep up with goings on in the district, but much of it likely is from users who might be interested in creating an app of their own.
"I had a school in Guatemala email me the other day," he said.
Young's not finished tweaking the app. Next up: lunch menus, maybe.

Genetics of Coat Color in Cattle
a brief review of what is currently known about the genes controlling cattle coat colors and patterns
This webpage was first mounted about 2002 and last updated on July 9, 2016 by Sheila Schmutz
Coat color was very variable in early domesticated stocks. In many breeds, color became one of the traits under intense selection and ultimately color became part of the identity of many breeds. However in some older breeds, such as Highland and Longhorn, color has remained varied. The painting above hangs in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science in the Agriculture Building at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. We are proud to display this important documentation of our cattle heritage. It is entitled "Higland Cattle - By the Sea" and was painted by William Smellie Watson of Scotland in 1872, before the Highland cattle registry began. It was donated by Al Ewen, who retired as Head of the Department of Animal Husbandry in 1952 when he returned to Aberdeernshire, Scotland.
Coat color has fascinated animal breeders and geneticists for many, many years. Classic breeding experiments told us much about the inheritance of coat colors and patterns in the early to mid 1900's. Only in the last 5 years, have the underlying genes been discovered. Many are yet unknown. Several genes interact with each other to alter the shades of the basic colors. Other genes cause deviations from a solid colored body: roan, whiteface, spotting, color sided, to name a few.
Some colors have economic significance because they have pleiotropic effects (side effects) that can be deleterious. This is, in part, because the precusors to pigment cells are also the precursors to nerve cells. Other colors are just more popular in certain parts of the world so command higher prices even though no benefits or harmful effects have been proven.
This webpage is an attempt to summarize some of the current research being done in coat color. It represents the findings of many laboratories in many places. Whenever possible publications are listed documenting the research supporting the statements. Sometimes the work is not yet published but just the results of experiments in progress, discussions at meetings, or even just hypotheses. This has been included for the benefit of cattle breeders who are trying to utilize coat color as one of the goals in their breeding program. Any deviations from these therefore would be useful to researchers trying to understand the genes yet to be discovered. Please write therefore if your breeding contradicts something here!

Alpha Metroids on their way
So, I´ve coded 11 enemies so far, a few of those have some interesting and complex behavior. I made a version of Ridley for the demo, and it came out quite well, even if it was an experiment.
I feel I´m ready to start working on Alpha Metroids. I know I´m capable of making interesting enemies to fight, and I have some cool ideas for all the Metroid evolutions that I´m sure I´ll be able to pull off succesfully. Metroids are a key part in this game, and I wanted to be sure they are well coded.
Most of the actions of the Alphas are planned. Not all of them will behave the same way, and some will appear in unexpected ways (Sorry, I don´t wanna spoil the surprise).
I´m taking into account that Samus can now aim in 8 directions, and an Alpha would last 5 seconds if it behaves like in the original game. They will be faster, more agile, and smarter. I´m still trying to figure out a way to make them learn to avoid incoming missiles.
There will be enviromental interaction to aid you in battles, but in rare ocasions.
Hyrule_SwordsMan is busy with exams, so Alpha Metroid sprites production will begin in a couple of weeks.
To all the people who are asking for screenshots: I won´t be posting screens until I finish the new areas. Backgrounds and tilesets are being tweaked and recolored all the time, so whatever I show you now, it will be different in a couple of days.
If you have any suggestions about anything, I´m all ears. Thanks!
52 comments:
I realy cant wait for the game to come out, and cant wait to see what the metroids look like!
- May 24, 2008 at 12:02 AM
you are my god, I've been waiting for someone to do this for years. My only idea is that you use the original music for the beginning area, originally dubbed "enter SR388". I know a site you can get a remix that almost exact to the original. Only someone who plays the two together can tell the difference. If you want to know the sight email me at email@example.com
I'm really looking forward to this game. - May 24, 2008 at 4:25 AM
HOLA!!! Me encanto el remake del metroid II. Ya he jugado el La verdad es que buscando el juego original (nunca antes había jugado la version de gambeboy) y me parecio mala, no me gusto para nada.

Hello. I saw this a couple months ago, and I was amazed. In 2005 I started a project very similar to what you are making. I stopped working on it, and I lost all of my information, but I had sent some pics to nintendo power. I had a few ideas I thought were pretty cool. Like, the farther you get in the game, the darker it would get. You would be equiped with a light that let you see around, and whereever your gun was aiming. Once you beat the area lights would turn on. And by the time you get to level 10 it would be pitch black around you. Plus it was more based on the gba display, not the super metroid. Anyway, I am happy to see that someone is doing this, and so close to my image. The game is too great to not have
an updated version.

God bless you for everything you are doing. I literally cannot wait to play this, just finished the original and eager to play this remake more than any next-gen title that's coming.
And those are wonderful screens, Axle. - May 25, 2008 at 1:29 AM
Heya, is there a specific or like good program that would be used to create new metroid themes? Because i'm not very experienced but i would like to help if i could, and i find the metroid atmosphere isn't often kept in new more upbeat remixes of the classic themes. I would suggest a little more darker/mystique to the music.

I have to admit, when I first saw this, I was skeptical. I happen to be a hardcore fan of Metroid Two, and will be following this very closely until it comes to fruition.
If you need a beta tester, I'm your man. Contact me if you do. email@example.com
But anyways, keep up the beautiful work. - May 25, 2008 at 2:55 PM
When will the metroid video come out i really want to see how u do on the queen metroid. I LOVE METROID 2 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT :) :) :)
- May 25, 2008 at 11:35 PM
Putting Ridley in the game would be awesome! But unless you plan on putting other space pirates in the game, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. Maybe you could add a whole new space pirate involvment in the game?
Just some thoughts. - May 26, 2008 at 12:30 AM
Are you going to have Gamma/Zeta/Omega Metroids stay on the ground, or will they still fly? Honestly, I think it would be more true to the original intent of the design to have them on the ground, as evidenced by the Omega Metroid in Fusion.
Or perhaps Gamma Metroids can both fly and stay on the ground, but I'm not sure how hard that would be to do.
Also, I would shy away from putting in Space Pirates, but having some dead Space Pirates, or an old base of theirs from when they took the larval Metroids earlier in the landing area might be interesting. - May 26, 2008 at 9:02 PM
That's an interesting thought. Remnents of the space pirates would be pretty cool. Kinda like the abandoned ship in super metroid.
- May 26, 2008 at 9:28 PM
What I think was missing from an aesthetic standpoint in Metroid II was the Infant Metroids. For dramatic effect, especially for those who have never played Metroid II before, it would be really cool to spot a few dead Infant Metroids in the opening area (and even have them interspersed throughout the whole game, not just at the end). Perhaps you could work in a way to fight them, but that would mean Samus would have to start out with the Ice Beam (or perhaps cold rooms, or something). For more dramatic effect, perhaps the first Alpha Metroid could start out as an Infant, eating some creature, and then evolve in front of Samus' eyes. Also, interspersing Infant Metroids throughout the game would be interesting as well.
Actually, now that I think about it, I rather like the idea of Samus starting out with the Ice Beam. In the game, she already starts out with missiles, and she is out to kill Metroids, so why shouldn't she have the Ice Beam to begin with? The Ice Beam is a fairly early power-up too, if I recall correctly. Then you could actually kill some Infants in the beginning, and have the whole dramatic evolution thing. - May 27, 2008 at 1:24 AM

Ok then, a few ideas/suggestions/stuff:
1. It would be good, as above said that, the first Metroid Samus finds is firstly an infant, then it kills a creature, but then the creature turns out to be an X parasite. This is a thing what only the players see, and when the Metroid sucks it's energy, the Metroid glows in strange yellow color, like it sucked too much energy, then it causes the Metroid to be stunned, fall to the ground, then evolve to an Alpha.
2. What will be in that tower in the 3rd ruins? In the original it's full of the weapons, but since it's can be stacked, they're not necessary.
3. If you stict to that flashlight/darkness at the end idea, then it will be good if there would be somekind of eerie glow at Omega Guardians; that place has a strange bubble theme, so it would be good.
4. Another Idea: When the first Omega appears in the original, it's srange that we first encounter with an Alpha, then after a circle the Omega out of nowhere. I think it would be good, that when we meet with the Alpha, below that we can already see the Omega in the shell unhatched, then when we try to leave that place, an earthquake occurs, the tunnel collapse, then we fight the now hatched Omega. And another idea: Make the all-four Omega Battle different from each other somehow.
5. I noticed, when we arrive the room before the Queen, we can hear her cry/moan/sighing. It's pretty scary, it would be good if it will be scarier.
And about the Queen. In the original she only have two attacks, and with the bomb technicue it's too damn easy. It would be good if she has more attacks, or sometimes makes a barrier around her, and releases 3 Infant to the room, and it would be harder if it only be killed with the stomach-bomb, but it takes more try, and we can only jump to the mouth if we first shoot a super-missile to it, then freeze the mouth, then we can jump to the mouth.
So this is my ideas for the whole game. Sorry for my bad english, and, please, keep up the good work! - May 27, 2008 at 1:59 PM

i agree with Will except for the infant thing in the 5th idea... but he has some really good ideas.
- May 27, 2008 at 10:36 PM
i think that samus shouldn't start out with anything in the remake... it would make the beginning more challenging.
- May 27, 2008 at 10:38 PM
- Mxyzptlk said...
@anon: It would make it more frustrating. She starts out with those items because it's part of the story. She just got back from her previous missions and still had them. It wouldn't make much sense to say "She just threw them away." She doesn't have much, still; just her charge beam, missles, and morph ball. If you play the original again, think about how frustrating it would have been having to find the weapons and items you start with.
- May 28, 2008 at 9:15 PM
I'm going to love this remake. And my first impression would be you would base the Metroid sprites in Fusion's Restricted Lab, and tweak their appearances to make them fit in.
I agree with whoever decided to put some dead Space Pirates in the area.
And don't forget the Federation guys who failed to kill those Metroids, too.
And I thought that Samus used an infrared (IR) scanner, someone said it was said in the manual. Putting a red light scanner might feel more bloody, though. - May 29, 2008 at 12:37 AM
I think the reason why she doesn't start with the ice beam was because the makers expected to continue a nonstacked system where Samus would have to go back to where she found the beam to use it.
Since they swapped over to stacked in zero mission, it would make sense to make this version stacked as well and have samus start off with at least the ice beam because she leaves zebes with it (because she had to use it to kill the metroids). i beleive she started with the charge beam in the origional metroid 2 too. - May 29, 2008 at 12:49 AM
Hola! :D I'm a 15 years old metroid gamer who love the game! Especially the games in the prime serie. Since I started to play metroid prime 2: Echoes(my first game) I've always wondered about how the whole thing began... And since nes metroid and metroid 2 etc.. was made long before my birth I've never got the chance to see how it all started...untill now! :D I really apreciate this and I respect your work 101%! ;D I'm glad someone finnaly could do this! I love the demo aswell!
I really cant wait for the game to come out! Good work! (thumbs up) ;D - May 30, 2008 at 10:25 AM
I think that you could add a couple of baby metroids in the last area. You could have them have personalities.
1) For example, some of them won't be hostile and will run away when you see them because they just hatched and you have to chase them down or have a sort of hide and seek with it to kill it.
2) Or some of them will suck your life out but won't be able to attach because their fangs are not fully developed, it would be like a Mochroid.
3) Or some of them will ram you like the Infant Tallon Metroids in Prime 2.
4) Or they could just have a small group of 3-5 that just float around like the Miniroids in Corruption. (but you will still get hurt if you touch them, or they will latch onto you if you touch them)
With this idea, once you get to the last or second to last areas the metroid counter thingy will go up 1 or 2 every 5 min. or after you kill an Omega the queen will somehow know and will lay 3 eggs to replace the fallen giant. You could also add a metroid egg counter as an item in the last section, so you can keep track of the eggs and you can know when they hatch. (they could hatch every 7 min.) - May 30, 2008 at 1:06 PM
Something that always irritated me is that only larva metroids can suck energy. That just doesn't make sense.
If you could give EVERY type of metroid the ability to grab you and suck your health in some way (grabbing you with claws, tentacles, jaws, etc), that would be just awesome. - June 2, 2008 at 1:11 AM
Some of the posters above mentioned adding dead space pirates, which would be very cool... Someone else briefly mentioned dead federation troopers as well - I just want to agree about how awesome that'd be! Like, right at the start, there'd be maybe one or two dead troopers, and as you go deeper you find more and more, each one of them dead in unique ways...
Also, I think that after recently replaying the original, this game has a lot of potential to be very atmospheric and creepy, with the music and amount of light getting more and creepy as you get deeper, with things like dead troopers and stuff before rooms with metroids to add suspence.
My final idea is to somehow include a reference to the X parasites: metroids were created to destroy them, and the for the entire time that metroids were dominant on SR388 they kept the X in check. It'd be cool, like an above poster said, if you saw a Larva Metroid attack an X and evolve into an ALpha, or something.
But anyway, keep up the good work - really looking forward to this! - June 2, 2008 at 3:08 AM

if ridley is being added to this, then the space pirates have to be in it. someone suggested dead space pirates and fed. troopers, if they could be added, the fed. troopers could be dead in diffrent ways, space pirates and metroids. what im saying is, add some fed. troopers in the frontal caves with some space pirate carcasses, like as if they were in a war, and some in the metroid-areas. I would suggest that in the game, samus is running around (possiply in the first ruins?) and she enters a room with an infant metroid feeding off an fed. trooper but just as samus is about to attack, it falls slowly and turns into an alpha metroid. as for the space pirates, or their base that is it could look really bad as tourian in metroid zero mission, the space pirates have to have a base, it would be in the second ruins, if not, then why would ridley be there?

(If I remeber correctly) the space pirates attacked a galactic federation exploration vessel to acquire the metoids, so unless the vessel was just leaving SR388, the pirates shouldn't have left any evidence of being on the planet. If pirate corpses are there, than the vessel would have to be there as well to be consistant with the story.
Also, i think it would make more sense to have more bodies at the beginning, and less bodies as you moved deeper into the planet because they failed and the few best would've have survived the first waves of meteroids. That is unless, they made some progress and then eventually were killed. However, they would never have gotten very deep or else they wouldn't have called on the help of samus.
It would be awesome if galactic federation machinery were infected by the X forces samus to fight it, and right as she destroys the machine, and the X is about to infect her, a metroid could come out of nowhere and eat it. Maybe a special ops force was able to get farther than everyone else and then died. - June 3, 2008 at 10:22 PM
Alright, you may not know, but I'm the guy who suggested about the Federation Troops. Alright, so, what if one of the caves was a deserted area, the site where X Parasites were at? I would also would love to see a lot more of Chozo-made areas, and some more architecture, such as the pillars and statues in Zero Mission. And also waterfalls and fountains in the area.
- June 5, 2008 at 1:58 AM
Okey! I think that you could have a at least one or two X parasites, because they lived on the planet, and the metroids where created to keep them at bay. you have to add at least 1 or 2 thou, you dont have to add them as acommen enemy because the chozo said that the metroids where becomeing a problem, and could have nearly killed off all of the x, so there would just be acouple on the planet. no! got to go!! Sorry for bad spelling, im in a rush and sneeking it in school! crap! no! n-not detention!!! But, its Metroid... i love me-

I've been really interested in remakes, redesigns, and re-anything of the Metroid games. I just played the demo, and there's one thing I don't like: why is there no save function? Ridley has a LOT of health, and I've yet to kill him. However, having to go all the way to the start every time you die is REALLY annoying. Could you add a save room or two to the demo?
- June 6, 2008 at 11:29 PM
- BigText said...
I finally killed him! I searched around more and found some super missiles, which helped a LOT. Without super missiles it's ridiculously tough; it takes 5 missiles to do as much damage as 1 super missile!
Anyway, it says I got 10/12 items, so I have some more things to find. Great demo! Looking forward to more! - June 7, 2008 at 4:45 AM
- Mxyzptlk said...
After you find all the items, try doing a LOW-item run. It's MUCH harder, because you need to find shortcuts and ways to damage enemies other than missiles.
I've actually done a 1% run. Once you actually do it, everything else is boring, except for speedruns. - June 7, 2008 at 12:52 PM

I happened upon your tech demo on Yoyo Games a few days ago, and I am thoroughly impressed by how you've managed to almost identically recreate the gameplay and feel of Metroid Zero Mission with Game Maker. I enjoyed playing it very much. I am a huge Metroid fan, and I am very excited to play your final product. Keep up the amazing work.
- June 8, 2008 at 9:45 PM
The thing to remember in regard to X though, is that prior to Fusion, Samus had never encountered, let alone heard of them.
- June 9, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Regarding what the poster before me said, she never came in contact with the X. You could add some X vs. Metroid encounters out of samus's sight. Like when the pirates take the power bombs from chozodia in Metroid Zero Mission. You could also put it in the background of some rooms.
- June 9, 2008 at 5:52 PM
I think that the speed running should be implemented in the game
like in Super Metroid because running in that slow pace is fustrating
you should absolutely put the remains of not only space pirates and Feds but the remains of other dead creatures right before you enter a room with a metroid in it
and the creatures should get bigger if the Metroid is bigger and tougher - June 9, 2008 at 10:06 PM
OMG , metroid 2 return of samus
is the last game that I have to play for complete all metroid series.
but when i see this Remake
no words

You are brilliant!! I now have a new hero. I wish I could help you guys in some way.
Please keep up the good work. You deserve a major award (where do I send the leg lamp?) - June 11, 2008 at 1:26 AM
Ah HA!! Samus said that she never encountered the X in Metroid Fusion, so the Metroids could have driven them to the brink of extinction. Also, Samus couldent of had the Ice Beam at the begining of the game because the last time in the Metroid Timeline she had it in Metroid Prime. In 2 Echos she didnt have any trace of it still installed in her sutes systems, and In corrupion the last beam you get is Nova. So if she was to start the game with a beam other than the power, it would have to be Nova. Not that im saying that you should have her satrt off with it, im just saying that she shouldent start off with the Ice Beam.
- June 11, 2008 at 5:22 PM
Oh one more thing, she is going to be hunting metroids, so you could have her start off with Ice Missles, instead of normal missles. The missles part will still be implimented in the game and ice is a metroids natural weeknes. You said that the super missles wont make the Metroid fights easer, so i think that the super missles should do the same dammage as normal missles on the metroids, but the super missles would push them far away from you. It could be like a last resourt, or if your in a small space.
- June 11, 2008 at 5:27 PM
All this talk about starting with the ice beam, doesnt it kind of take the fun out of a game if you start with the most effective item against metroids? That would take the whole challenge out of the game. Ice Beam is a LAME idea.
- June 11, 2008 at 6:32 PM
i really like the dead corpses idea
You should really aim towards making this game very creepy and eerie. Just the story line and concept of Metriod 2 is creep. O.o - June 11, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Random comment time!!! Metroid Prime is so far the only game iv played that has that errie issolation feeling. echos had dead corpses to tell you that there where other people on the planet and corruption had you talking to that big brain. Zero mission whent by so fast, Fusion had "Adam", and maby super metroid was the only other one that had isolation. also to back up the ice missles, Samus had the ice missles in the end of Corruption which was right befor this game. unless that ship in the end will make 1 more game befor Metroid 2. In school must type fast sry!
- June 12, 2008 at 10:52 AM
I Think that you could have the Alpha and Gamma metroids grab Samus with there bottem claws and use the top one to drain her energy with. They would only do this some of the time and would also attack like you said, and the Gamma could use its legs to grab rocks and drop them on samus. The Zeta metroids could use its claws to grab samus and drain her energy using its mouth. The Omega metroid could just attack, but if you to into morph ball, it would suck samus up into its belly like the queen, and you have to bomb your way out. But don't make the bombs hurt it, just stun it or something. Also the Alpha/Gamma should fly at all times, and the Zeta is suposed to fly also by shooting high presurised gas from its back, but it could also walk, like when it wants to suck samus's life out. Finaly the Omega is also suposed to be able to fly, but you should make it only use it on rare occations, and instead have it use giant leaps (like Metroid Prime).
If you use the life sucking idea I thought up could you include me in the credets? Name: The Ant! - June 12, 2008 at 8:26 PM
I think that the ice beam, plasma beam, wave beam, and spazer beam should each be guarded by a boss or a metroid.
- June 12, 2008 at 10:59 PM
i think you should include x in cut scenes (if possible, that is)
like, for example, before the first omega metroid fight, samus stops at some ruins,(remembering her childhood or something like that)and an x sneaks up on her, then out of no where an omega metroid eats it, samus turns around, unaware of the x that had been there moments before. - July 31, 2008 at 2:22 AM

I'm honestly unable to reach a decision on whether I like these guys or not. The smell's okay, the colors are good, the plants themselves come and go. They don't look so pretty when they need to be deadheaded, I'm discovering. (The same goes for Gazania, alas, though I still think I like Gazania.) Also they don't shake off spider mite infestations very readily, it seems. But still. There are worse plants out there. So I don't know.

I've never had a spidermite problem with them outdoors. Not sure how much our humidity may help. Yeah, narigolds definitely fall into the "must deadhead" category.

Posts Tagged 'Tim Reid'
"Mitt Romney, the Mormon who has seen his White House hopes fade in recent weeks, will stake his political future on a John F. Kennedy-style speech tackling the issue of his faith," write Tom Baldwin and Tim Reid in a timesonline.co.uk release titled Mitt Romney gambles on JFK moment to stay in the battle to be president
The Republican presidental candidate acknowledged tacitly yesterday that the speech had become necessary because of fears about his religion among evangelical voters in the crucial early state of Iowa.
A weekend survey of Iowan voters, who kick off the nominating process on January 3, suggested that Mike Huckabee, who portrayed himself as an "authentic" Christian conservative, had surged five points ahead of Mr Romney in the Republican race … etc., etc.
Note the grim hyperbole. Romney "will stake his political future on a John F. Kennedy-style speech tackling the issue of his faith?"—way to set up impossible expectations. Note also the tone of abject desperation. Note that the notion that Romney's JFK speech is a knee-jerk reaction—almost a pain-response—to Team Romney's Agony-in-Iowa, has become the consensus opinion.
Has anyone ever so disastrously mis-managed a message in advance of its delivery? We mean, ever?
yours &c.

" | Dash through the snow in this winter wonderland. Watch out for freezing geysers and swimming Sawgills as you coast across ice and water. Keep your speed up, and hit those ramps to soar across Frosty Wheel!" |
— Official guide |
Frosty Wheel is the 33rd level in Kirby's Epic Yarn and fourth in Snow Land, the sixth world in the game. It comes after Mt. Slide and precedes King Dedede. No metamortexes are featured in the level.
The surfaces in Frosty Wheel are all iced over, meaning that Kirby skates on his toes for a certain distance when he changes direction. This is also the only level where Kirby can turn into his Sleigh form instead of the Car, since the surface is so slippery.
This section is a stub - It needs expansion! | |
There are several ice-geysers which could freeze Kirby if he walks into it, as well as several Ferris-wheels with similarly slippery surfaces. Near the level's end, there will be several ramps. Kirby will need to dash in Sleigh form to jump off them far enough to clear the gaps.

Dont remember it but The Sopranos, what can I say? Top quality TV in a period of dumbing down and increased rubbish on the box.
Thing I never understood was why didnt Pink bother to market it better. You could easily make the Sopranos huge cult viewing in Serbia with the recent history of organised crime and violence.
Still, Pink broadcasted Lost too with a pitiful advertising campaign and they kept on shifting the programme schedule, sometimes Lost would be on at 23, sometimes at 1.30 AM or later. - 18/5/06 18:19

John Lear may be wrong about Christ
Poster Handle

People practicing the occult should be prayed for as lost... many of them are stuck, afraid or both...
Our free-will prayers for them is the only hope: just as Roger Morneau says: we should call on God's Holy Spirit for help, not try to convince them nor exorcise demons on our own.
UN is ancient word for "satan" ... gee, what a shock... :)
Just wanted to pass on my updated list--I have been researching re: the spiritual component and spiritual rules of the NWO and the existence of Jesus Christ and the deception of the New Age from the people who have been pretty deep into it.
I started out looking for "boots on the ground" types of testimonies and found more than I bargained for. Combined they seem to point to a true spiritual power of being a follower of Jesus Christ. I have begun to follow the procedure for this with generally good results. :) Still researching and now want to compile a list of the apparent rules indicated by these testimonies.
My youtube links don't always work so I have compiled a list w descriptions, most of which is on youtube:
1)John Todd
link to www.youtube.com
a) former high-level witch and illuminati and converted Druid Priest. Says that they run the show, have more money than they know what to do with.
b) they will destroy economy or any company whenever they want--money no option. Rothchilds at top communing direct w lucifer.
c) Salem witch trials was actually one group of witches getting rid of another and Christians who were meeting to pray--Christians who pray obstruct the ability of witches to conjure and manipulate demons (see #2 below)
d) we can deduce that the persecution of cathars and the inquisitions and other witch burning pandemics may have had similar roots
e) ufos/"aliens are demonic/principalities (even U.S. govt. w craft it could be argued, are simply occultists working wittingly or not to bring in "end times.")
f) interesting that William Bramley found historic ufo sightings before every major outbreak of the plague in middle ages AND hovering above the vatican.
2)Lucifer's Children
link to www.youtube.com
a) former Vietnam vet--compelling story about how satanists work and why he converted to Christ.
b) Why Christ-centered prayer is disliked by the occult.
3) "former satanist shows everyday occultism"
link to www.youtube.com
a) another former satanist, he claims he was recruited to be a high priest with special abilities from a young age
b) lots of interesting aspects to above points
c) very "regular" type of guy--seems sincere.
4) The UFO phenomenon explained by MUFON researcher Joseph Jordan
who claims that calling on Christ to alleviate the abduction phenomenon not only works, but is being covered up.
a)The family showcased at the end have been repeatedly mentioned on A&E Channel without ever mentioning that they are now healed of the abusive abduction phenomenon that plagued them.
b) It seems likely that there are many ways we can open ourselves up to demonic energies, especially when we do not follow rules of the bible or know about the occult knowledge. The latter is not fool-proof as the wisest man in the bible, Solomon, fell prey to his own hubris and the tales of former satanists and witches, etc are quite telling and similar: Jesus Christ is the only way out.
c) the ways to open ourselves up to demonic are all consciousness-based, ultimately, but include films, tv, music, mind-altering substances (I say this as a person who loves herb, but have stopped smoking), etc... Herb is probably a medicine that even Terrance McKenna said was abused by most and should only be used once a week, ideally.
link to vimeo.com
d) some of the top researchers such as Jaque Vallee and J Allen Hyneck were convinced the phenomenon was demonic/other dimensional...
5) "former illuminati" generally and Mark Cleminson specifically...
link to www.youtube.com
] v=h63iNa0BcrQ
a) He was born into an illuminati family, was schooled by jesuits in special schools in Nepal and learned to meditate (open self to demonic energy), levitate and gain psychic abilities the illuminati and IBM specifically were planning to use him for bringing in the NWO and "end times."
b) His story is very interesting, mirrors former satanists and exposes the New Age religions.
c) Again, Jesus Christ the only way out and he literally had to confront death when the order tried to get him back.
d) Great example of the spiritual rules that really exist and run things here.
6) Roger Morneau
--great guy, amazing story! [
link to www.youtube.com
a) Maybe one of the best "former secret societies" stories and probably the oldest on video record.
b) He got involved in 1946 and had many supernatural experiences
they used fear to compel members to "initiate"
c) He gives great back-story to the luciferian plan and how old it really is.
d) more insight into New Age religion being a luciferian trap.
e) Explains the three basic classes of "fallen angels" and how they confuse and manipulate us.
f) escaped certain death through Jesus Christ.
7) Recent BBC documentary on new evidence for the Shroud of Turin.
link to www.youtube.com
] v=dr9_v5A4a2w
a) there are a few good docs on this now worth seeing and questioning, especially now that they admit the carbon dating was shite.
b) other researchers have uncovered that even the men involved in the original test were biased against the Shroud.
c) One of the men involved was found to have requested cloth from middle ages similar to the Shroud.
d) The other forensics on this are amazing and entertaining.
8)Carolyn Hamlett is a survivor from generational Illuminist bloodlines
a) born w special abilities
b) worked w "ascended masters" who she names
c. says it's all a luciferian deception
"spared and delivered from its hold on her mind and life by her faith in God. Carolyn is a former "multi-generational server" in the Illuminati. She provides further evidence that humanity is the victim of a long-term satanic conspiracy that is entering its final stage. "I have known "The Plan" since I was a small child and have seen it carried out just as I was told it would be....It has been a very slow process to get people to the point where common sense is not so common."
She joins the ranks of Svali, Cathy O'Brien, Brice Taylor and other whistleblowers exposing the mind control and unspeakable tortures being forced upon children and civilians by the military on behalf of the goals of Luciferian World Government.
As a person of high rank in "The Organization," Carolyn has seen and experienced Satanic horrors, and knows many details of "The Plan" to bring on the Antichrist and the NWO that she has been divulging in television and radio broadcasts and in her own writings"
Audio Interview

] interviews/Carolyn_Hamlett_08. 25.12.mp3
9) Chris Everard on the occult use of hallucinogens to access demonic energy:
link to www.youtube.com
] v=Chjz0lRAyFI&feature=related
a) Explains why and how hallucinogens are used by sorcerers who really run things, to access and manipulate demonic energy.
b) John Dee was the original 007--I thought this was cool!
c) All his vids are worth a look, though he has no apparent take on Jesus Christ.
10) Johanna Michaelsen
- someone who was heavily involved in working with shamanism and being a medium also has an interesting story...
link to www.youtube.com
link to www.youtube.com
a) was born with special abilities
b) was being groomed to take over position with famous shamanic healer in mexico
c) took part in many amazing healing sessions performing brain surgeries and other amazing feats
d) concluded that it was demonic energy healing people (see Roger Morneau for how this is possible)
e) was even fooled by false Christ (see Carolyn Hamlett) and finally determined the only way for someone like her to eliminate the demonic was to study and follow rules layed out in Bible.
11) Dave Hunt
has some interesting research on the origins of the push for yoga, new agism, etc... the history of yoga I thought interesting that it was developed to tune the body to communicate with other-dimensional hindu "gods" aka demons, again...
link to www.youtube.com
13) Randall Baer's
extensive New Age experience echos the same again:
link to www.youtube.com
] v=QDvZUq4uBL8
14) The Net - The Unabomber. LSD and the Internet
a) the connections a German documentary make on how the decision to permeate our culture with hallucinogens, from the highest levels of TPTB, especially from scientific and arts culture.
b) unabomber to this day denies making bombs
c) unabomber took part in mind-control program at Harvard.
d) The interviews of famous intellectuals and artists who helped usher in the internet and the enslaving technocracy are funny and surprising.
e) shows that reality is what we make it, literally
f) God gives us a free-will and right now that is being manipulated by evil forces towards "end times."
link to www.youtube.com
] v=doQAwLb-DEE
15) Jesuit Sorcerer history
: [
link to be
] foreitsnews.com/alternative/2012/09/hidden-truth-jesuit-vatican-connection-to-the-unfolding-2012-new-world-order-agenda-2-2469282.html
a) Appears to be well-researched article on the pervasive control of the jesuit order and how the only force that has been successful against these dark sorcerers is Protestant, real Christ believers, with a Bible and a gun.
b) Personally, it seems to be too late for a gun, though I am not in any way for gun control, but people might be better served just with Jesus Christ and a Bible given the modern weapons available to tptb now.
c) Youtube for more on this: Ex Jesuit Alberto Rivera and others Speak on Jesuit infiltration
d) the above, plus John Todd, Jordan Maxwell, Carolyn Hamlett, etc, all say churches given bad rap (Jordan says Churches are corrupted) by infiltration and other than Jordan they are saying this is by design to lead people away from spiritual power of Jesus Christ.
16) Professor Walter Veith on Supernatural and Evolution v. Creationism
link to www.youtube.com
link to www.youtube.com
a) Start with his testimony--supernatural conflict brings on new understanding...
b) see all his well-documented lectures on Evolution and how the vatican has an agenda to make Sunday the official NWO religious day of worship, soon to be mandated.
17) Ken Peters - Visions for End Times
link to www.youtube.com
a) buckle your seat belts for this one
b) very prophetic--not sure what it means.
c) pray it doesn't happen--we are responsible.
18)All of the Youtube vids from The Prophesy Club are very telling and thorough. The Jesus Christ followers seem to me to be the most well-researched, radical and sincere of all the info on the net.
19) Music Industry and Hollywood as satanic
a) aside from John Todd, we have a clear pattern on youtube of satanisms pervasive influence, the worst for me being clear signs that Bob Dylan and John Lennon sold their souls for fame. (see 60 minutes interview w Bob Dylan sold soul)
link to www.youtube.com
b) This rabbit hole sadly covers most of the industry and artists I used to love
i.I still listen to and watch certain art forms, but it is clear there is a problem and I now prefer classical music. :)
20) Caryl Matrisciana- Spiritual Warfare
link to www.youtube.com
a.all cultures around the world based on the reality of the supernatural
b.Aum as the void out of which the word of God created;
c.altruistic love of Jesus Christ different from other religions in India, specifically, where religion, more than in West, serve as a means of oppression of truth and spirit; caste system.
d.Eastern arts, yoga-->designed to waken the snake/commune w demon energy--> self-oriented.
21) Earthquake Kelly
a) the voodoo connection same as the other occult
b) we are dealing w people who have given their free-will consent to serve satan
c) in return material wealth and supernatural abilities are granted.
d) pretty cool to realize that this stuff is real...
Please verify you're human:

Egypt's electoral labyrinth undermines women's political representation
Egypt's leadership carousel
Egypt and the Middle East: What next?
Egypt after the coup: Only the beginning of the beginning
Interim Egyptian President Adly Mansour, the military-backed civilian leader who formerly headed the country's judiciary, only recently finished putting together a new government. However, the original coalition that had pushed for the overthrow of President Muhammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood-supported government has begun peeling apart, with some criticizing powers set aside by the military for the new president. Moreover, the new government does not include any members of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, raising the likelihood of more civil unrest in the near future.
…Chaos in the streets? Blame cyberspace!
Turkey, Brazil, then Egypt: Once again, discontent has led to major popular protest — and, in the case of Egypt, the removal of a democratically elected leader and replacement by a military-backed interim government. And just as before, the Internet and social media have served as a facilitator of these movements.

I like that idea for a small segment of the show--5-10 minutes tops.
yeah, that's exactly what I meant, but forgot to say >_<
#7 Ch'p is still a badass
Posted 19 December 2006 - 02:40 PM
I still say there needs to be a third wrench... these guys bounce dialogue back and forth and tend to agree to easily... let's just say I want an Ebert Roper type of thing going or not... >_< at least some fluxist terminology!
I read that as "third wench."
Which isn't a bad idea. Not a wench, per se, but a female countervoice. Not the wives (save them for special appearances), but just someone who can counter them and bring them back on target. Cheapy spends enough time reeling in Wombat when he goes off on tangents, so why not have someone else do it? Just something to add balance (and give it more of a "real" radio show feel) and act as a ground.
As far as having Cag'ers on - I'm not sure that is a great idea. I know some of us have been radio DJs <coff coff > so freezing and "on-air familarity" wouldn't be an issue, a rotating guest spot sounds like it would drag the show down too much. Maybe have just one person from cag in on a segment for 2 or 3 minutes, maybe for special deals or "deal of the week" spotlight.
I still like the third wench idea best...
Plume, your solution to everything is sex.

You can usually just tell from posting here who would have enough personality to be decent guest. That usually translates over to how they conduct themselves while talking as soon as any trepidation is out of the way.

I don't mind listening to the show every so often, but what I really want to hear is fellow CAG forum members to be guests on the show. It's a great way to know the community more and make making the CAGcast shows harder to make for Cheapy/Wombat.
...and stuff...
and to end on a good note, a picture of popcorn... cuz everyone luvs pop'corn!
It sounds like a nice idea
10-15minutes maybe once a month.
Maybe for the cags who provide a lot of deals often (like the early weekly store ads)
Or maybe just randomly select active cags who volunteer to be on.
A "meet your fellow cags" segment would work.
Its not really about chemistry but more about learning about your fellow cag. (backround/likes/dislikes/hypewagon/currently playing/etc)
Could be boring as hell. But then again might be a fun change every so often

When Adam & Crosby (Dax Shepard) purchased the famed Luncheonette recording studio, Parenthood fans had no idea of the awesomeness in store. The hit show about the struggles and triumphs of a close and expanding family continues to rake in excellent musical guests to "record" at The Luncheonette.
This week is no different.
Joining the cast and spending time in the recording booth on the latest episode of Parenthood is none other than Irish folk-rock great Glen Hansard. If the name doesn't ring a bell, you may remember one of his two bands, The Swell Season (with Marketa Irglova) or The Frames (a more rock-tinged band from the '90s who are rumored to be returning to the stage).
The Swell Season acted and sang in 2007's Once, a movie about a struggling Irish busker who happens upon an immigrant woman with a beautiful voice. Together, the two make even more stunning music than they do on their own, and soon they decide to record an album. The soundtrack to Once is made up entirely of songs by The Swell Season and earned Hansard and Irglova an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Falling Slowly."
Hansard also recently put out some solo work. His voice on his solo album, Rhythm & Repose, is striking and often heartwrenching, much like the love story that unfolds in the movie. And, if you're a Hunger Games fan, you may also recall his name from that film's soundtrack. It featured his song "Take the Heartland." (Maroon 5's "Come Away to the Water" was also written by Hansard.)
An hour of Parenthood ought to mean at least one or two full songs from the handsome and insanely talented Glen Hansard. A still from this week's episode shows Amber (Mae Whitman) standing beside Hansard and looking quite giddy. If the actress is half the music fan that Amber is, her expression required very little acting. Pull on a toasty sweater, brew up some warm tea and prepare to swoon.

Here's Why Thomas F. O'Mara and Dean Murray Want To Ban Anonymous Online Speech
Earlier today, the Voice brought you news of pending legislation in Albany that would make New York-based websites, such as blogs and newspapers, "remove any comments posted on his or her website by an anonymous poster unless such anonymous poster agrees to attach his or her name to the post."
For state Sen. Thomas F. O'Mara and Assemblyman Dean Murray, the gist of the would-be law is to prevent cyber-bullying.
Murray does not think that this violates free speech or presents constitutional concerns.
"It absolutely in no way infringes on anyone's rights. They are absoltuely free to say whatever they like. However, if the statement is challenged by the target or the victim of those statements, they have two options. They can either identify themselves or put their name to the statement, or the statement will be removed. This is not reinventing the the wheel. This has been the standard letter-to-the-editor policy that has been in place for hundreds of years," Murray told the Voice.

He said that the law would only apply to factual concerns, not opinions.
"This only kicks in if the statement is challenged and it's only challenged based on factual information...It is the victim that has to reach out."
Asked whether this could be abused by people posing as victims -- since no ID requirement is in place to prove that alleged victims are who they say they are -- he said: "Most people are pretty busy. Most people don't have the time to troll through websites. This is absolutely no different than the letter to the editor policy to a newspaper. I talked with a couple of newspaper editors themselves and asked them, and they said this seems to mirror our letter to the editor policy."
Asked which editors, he replied: "I'm going to leave that to them."
Under this proposed law, website admins would have 48 hours to reach out to a post's author. It's unclear at this time what the penalty for non-compliance would be.
Again questioned whether this could infringe upon First Amendment rights, Murray explained: "The First Amendment applies to United States citizens. If it's an anonymous poster and it's the World Wide Web, how do we know this protects a person's First Amendment rights, because how do we even know they're an American citizen? I'm saying that kind of tongue-in-cheek, but if they're anonymous, we have absolutely no idea who they are. How can we protect an anonymous person?"
O'Mara said of free speech issues: "We'll be evaluating these concerns."
"We're trying to deal with cyber-bullying and the false accusations that get posted on blogs that we see quite regularly. We're certainly going to evaluate that and look at it -- it's all part of the legislative process. If there's an unintended consequence, or a constitutional infirmity, we'll certainly look at it. I take input from everyone seriously, as long as it's in a constructive fashion and not an obnoxious fashion -- because we get both kinds."
But would the law even be effective if it only applies to Empire State companies?
"There certainly would be limitations because it would be limited to New York, websites or blogs that are hosted by an entity in New York, but that's a basic limitation of any law that we pass in New York."
We still wondered: Would a measure like this even be Constitutional?
Jethro Lieberman, a Constitutional rights expert and faculty member at New York Law School, doesn't think so.
"That poses problems," he said. "I would like to see an argument -- and I haven't seen one -- that would authorize a legislature to determine what can be posted or not posted on a private website."
Asked whether anonymity affected this, Lieberman had this to say: "The constitution does not talk about websites or anonymity. The cases over the years suggest that the legislature has no business trying to tell editors what to print."
Also: "The analogy here is that if somebody wrote a letter to the Village Voice and the person said, 'I don't want my name to be used,' there's no doubt that you could decide not to run the person's name. It's the same issue."
We're going to keep looking into this at the Voice. Check back for updates.
