Level 34 Paramecium

Paramecia are a group of unicellular ciliate protozoa formerly known as slipper animalcules from their slipper shape. They are commonly studied as a representative of the ciliate group. Paramecia range from about 50 to 350 μm in length, depending on species. Simple cilia cover the body which allow the cell to move with a synchronous motion (like a caterpilla). There is also a deep oral groove containing inconspicuous compound oral cilia (as found in other peniculids) that is used to draw food inside. They generally feed upon bacteria and other small cells. Osmoregulation is carried out by a pair of contractile vacuoles, which actively expel water absorbed by osmosis from their surroundings.

Paramecia are widespread in freshwater environments, and are especially common in scums. Paramecia are attracted by acidic conditions. Certain single-celled eukaryotes, such as Paramecium, are examples for exceptions to the universality of the genetic code (translation systems where a few codons differ from the standard ones).

Maybe someone can help me discover how this pertains to video games

R.I.P Harvey Korman

Best known for his work on the Carol Burnette Show, he and Tim Conway made a great team on the show, Harvey would try and play it staright and Tim would make him bust a smile. But his performance in "Blazing Saddles" is how i remember him most. He played Hedy "thats Hedley" Lamarr.

Rest in peace Harvey, you will be missed.

Three Years

I can't believe it's been three years as a member here. That is the longest i have had the same profile on a web site or forum of this type, my Photobucket account is longer though, by a few months. It has been a great three years and hopefully will still enjoy this place for a long time to come.

Artist Review

Francis Soto Rock/Pop
"Hot"
I was introduced to Francis' music thru myspace and was not dissapointed. His remake of "sunglasses at night" is right on the mark. He takes Corey Harts rocker to new heights with an edgier sound. His music has added a breath of fresh air into the rock scene for me. His vocals on "Talk" put the power back into the power ballad. If you haven't checked him and the band out yet, i suggest you give them a try.
