Metalhead - Donatello's half-pint associate and technological creation. He is a feisty little Turtle-bot. He received a few upgrades since we last saw him, compelling the Turtles to test out his new moves. They all are impressed with him except for Leonardo, who is apparently still hesitant about Metalhead's dependability, was later convinced that he could indeed be trusted.
In the 1987 cartoon series, Metalhead first appeared in the episode "The Making of Metalhead" where it he imbued with thoughts and memories of the Turtles. This gave Metalhead an identity disorder until Donatello reprograms him to work for the Ninja Turtles. Metalhead replicated the voices of the Ninja Turtles, Shredder, and April O'Neil, meaning that Metalhead was voiced by Cam Clarke, Barry Gordon, Rob Paulsen, Townsend Coleman, Dorian Harewood (who was filling in for James Avery at the time), and Renae Jacobs. In this appearance, He was only seen again when Donatello tries to get him to vacuum their TV room in the episode "Big Bug Blunder".
In the 2003 series, Metal Head was part of the final attack on the Tengu Shredder. Metal Head appears in the "Fast Forward" season episode The Journal. Metal Head also appears in TMNT: Back to the Sewer. He shows up in the episodes "Super Power Struggle" and "Wedding Bells and Bytes".
In the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, Metalhead was created by Donatello from a salvaged Kraang droid as a way to upgrade "his" weapons. Donatello could control Metalhead via a NES-like controller while observing through a TV monitor since there are cameras in Metalhead's eyes. Donatello can also speak through Metalhead voice box.
While Metalhead proved to be nearly unstoppable in combat situations, he was far too clunky and heavy to properly sneak around. Later in the episode, when his brothers became overwhelmed, Donatello sent Metalhead in to take care of the krangg. He easily defeated the Kraang attacking them, knocking off the control antenna in the process. One Kraang realized that Metalhead was made from their technology and detached from its robot body where it opted to control Metalhead. The Kraang-controlled Metalhead and attacked the Ninja Turtles, nearly killing them until Donatello showed up in person. Donatello managed to defeat Metalhead by crashing a support pillar on it.
In a later episode, Metalhead was rebuilt by Donatello where it aided the Ninja Turtles in the battle against the Kraang. Apparently now programmed with some degree of independence and operating without any sign of a direct controller, Metalhead drove the Shellraiser into the TCRI building lobby and subsequently attacked the Kraang guards while the Ninja Turtles used their new gliders to infiltrate the building from the roof.
Metalhead is reconfigured by Donatello in "Metalhead Rewired", in which he exhibits a personality similar to R2-D2 . After a battle with the Kraang goes awry, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael vote to terminate Metalhead, who quickly escapes before Donatello can do so. Metalhead is able to find a portal to a Kraang prison where many mutants from the series have been incarcerated. later Metalhead saves the turtles by staying behind to close the portal and later self destructs.
Weapons-
He has extending and rocket propelled punches and kick attacks, as well as a machine guns in his chest and rocket launchers. he also is programed and skilled with strong ninjutsu capabilities.
Video Games-
Metalhead appears in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time as the boss of the second level. Turtles in Time Re-Shelled; The instruction manual of the Super NES version of Turtles in Time erroneously refers to Metalhead as Mechaturtle.

Fans of economic progress attended Gear Up, Game On, a pre-season fundraiser for the Center for Economic Progress (CEP) on Sept 13, 2012. Presented by the CEP Associate Board & MB Financial Bank at Market Restaurant & Bar in Chicago, it was a lively evening that provided the opportunity for young professionals to network while championing financial security for low-income families.
Some who attended engaged in friendly competition by wearing either blue & orange or green & gold while they watched the Bears/Packers game. Sadly the home team didn’t win. However, raffle prize winners took away some great prizes: Home Run (Value: $360) Tim N; Olympic Spirit (Value: $282) Adam B; My Kind of Town (Value: $200) Hanna W; For the Enemy (Value: $600) Andrew H aka Go Pack!
The biggest winners were CEP clients. Thanks to MB Financial Bank generously sponsoring the evening, all ticket & raffle proceeds fund mission critical services including free financial coaching and tax preparation for low-income families. It’s a win-win for CEP clients and their communities.
Plus, there’s more good news! For the first time at an Associate Board event, new giving qualified for a 100% match from an anonymous CEP donor. Instead of the usual terrific $35 of economic impact in a community for every $1 invested, the match will yield an incredible $70!

And other gods of stone. Jizo is literally "Earth Womb," and they are associated with a Buddhist Boddhistatva and protector of children, and prebuddhist stone border gods of fertility. Jizo was the god at the border of the vilage. In that sense a sort of gate. There are more than 75 Jizo behind Rurikoji Temple and many more dotted around the city. I will upload their locations to timtak.com
They remind me of Filipino Bulul. The comparison between Jizo and Bulul, and their application in tourism would be worthy of study. I think that they make good souvenirs, mascots and that people might like to do a Jizo and or Bulul tour. Their red hats are photogenic.
There is still a strong tradition of praying to Jizo. Some of these had prayer mats and incense still burning. I have seen primary school children greet the Jizo as they walk past. Many of them have offerings of food and drinks and low value coins.
Not all of these are Jizo. Some are other objects of worship such as Sarutahiko and Kannon.
According to the Japanese wikipedia page the benefits of praying to Jizo are many:
Heaven and the dragon will protect you.
Your good karma will increase day by day.
The seeds of enlightenment will be collected in you.
You will not retreat from enlightenment.
You will not lack for clothes or food.
You will not catch plague.
You will avoid flood and fire.
You will avoid being stolen from.
People will look at you with respect.
Gods and Demons will protect you.
Women will turn into men. [That is what it says]
You will become a well bred young lady.
You will become beautiful
You will likely be reborn in Heaven.
Or You will be reborn as an emperor in this world.
You will know your past lives.
People will accede to your requests.
Your servants will be happy.
Things that don't make any sense will disappear.
Your bad Karma will be taken away.
You will be able to travel to far places safely.
You will see good dreams when asleep.
Your ancestors will be freed from suffering.
You will be reborn well.
All the saints will adore you.
You will become clear thinking and sharp.
You will have lots of compassion.
You will become a Buddha for sure.
Adult content: While it is said that the hats are there due to a legend that an old couple were rewarded for clothing the Jizo who looked cold, there is another theory that it may also be because some of the stone, border gods are phallic and the hats may be hiding this. I have yet to find a Jizo with a cleft pate but I look.
Teignmouth to ShaldonaThe Ferry Crossing can be traced back to 1296, but is probably much older, with origins in Saxon times. It has always been an important link and in those days saved a 14 mile journey to Shaldon and beyond, via Newton Abbot as the first bridge wasn’t built until 1827.
The Ferry now runs from the bottom of Lifeboat Lane in Teignmouth, but throughout its history has landed in several different places. For instance, during World War Two, The Ferry landing moved along the beach to Gales Hill, next to the present commercial docks, as the whole area around The Point was used by U.S. Forces for the repair and preparation of landing craft for D Day.
Black and white ‘gunports’ were added to the rowing boat ferries after the Napoleonic wars to make them look like ‘fearsome’ Men o’ War. This tradition continued with the advent of the first motor ferries nos. 1 & 2 in 1907-08.
When the first bridge was built around 1827 the ferry was then owned by the Shaldon Bridge Company until it was purchased by the local Council in the early 1950s.
Teignbridge District Council still retain the ‘rights to the crossing and own No.4 ferry, which was built in 1946. The service itself is run privately by a local company, the previous owners added the former Kings Lynn Ferry to the route, built around 1973 and now named ‘No.5’.
A visit the Teignmouth & Shaldon museum will tell you more about the Ferry and local history. Historic Ferry Teign Passenger Ferry
Scientists from Haverford College examined Gulf of Mexico sediment and flocculent material (floc) associated with oil-impacted corals to study indigenous microbial communities and their oil degradation potential. They found high bacteria and archaea abundance and diversity in sediment and floc; over half of the bacteria present were oil-degrading Proteobacteria. Sediment contained greater abundance and diversity of oil-degrading anaerobic bacteria than did floc where aerobic processes dominated.
