Interface updated for power sources
Yaskawa Motoman has updated its graphic-based interface to Lincoln Electric's Power Wave® power sources. A Motoman® robot communicates welding information over an Ethernet network using Lincoln's ArcLink⪚ XT protocol. The updated interface addresses international compatibility by adding language files for Chinese, German, Japanese, and Spanish.
Users can program weld parameters as work point/trim or amps/volts, along with up to four wave controls, with allowable limits displayed from the process library in the power source. Users also can program Lincoln's Production Monitoring™ process limits and define alarm and fault conditions from the robot's touchscreen pendant display. Password protection has been added to different levels of control parameters for plant supervision.
The interface has expanded from 32 to 200 weld profiles within the power source. Weld data from each weld can be displayed on the teach pendant, communicated via PLC signals, and sent to a cloud database with Lincoln's CheckPoint™ function.

Faye Ellis, Digital Learning Programmes Manager, British Museum
I've liked Grayson Perry's work for a long time, and was hugely excited when I heard that the British Museum would be staging an exhibition of his work. He's a bit of a legend in my family – there are lots of Grayson Perry books lying around my parents' house, and my Mum even dressed up as him once – complete with rosy cheeks and teddy bear. Knowing a bit about his work, I was also very aware that the content of the exhibition might be quite adult, and wasn't too hopeful that we'd be able to do many Grayson-inspired family activities. However, much to my delight, it turned out that we'd be able to run an activity in the Samsung Digital Discovery Centre. If you've not been yet, the Samsung Centre is a digital education space for young people in the British Museum. We run free activities for families and 13-18s every weekend, and the Grayson Perry session would make up part of that programme.
A lot of the Museum's activities for young people based on the exhibition have centred around Alan Measles, Perry's childhood teddy bear, who is, on the surface, the 'child-friendly face' of the exhibition (but look closer and you'll discover he's a witty, cynical old bear with a strong tendency to swear). We wanted to stick with the theme of teddy bears, but do something a little different. We decided to run a session called Teddy time traveller, inspired by the idea of taking a childhood toy with you on a journey (as Grayson Perry did when he travelled around Bavaria in 2010) and blogging – something which Alan Measles does himself from time to time.
The session has three stages – firstly, families have their photograph taken in front of a green screen with their teddy bear (or one of our six standby bears, if they don't have one of their own). I even donated my own childhood bear, the unimaginatively named Brown Ted, to take part:
Next, they use Photoshop (the children are amazingly quick to pick it up!) to insert themselves into an illustrated scene. Finally, they upload the picture to a WordPress blog, and write a short entry about their travels. It was important to me that the children found a 'voice' for their bear, and so I put some of the less adult Alan Measles quotes on the walls to inspire them! Although most children wrote the blogs from their own perspective, we did have a few writing as their toys.
Here's part of a blog entry I particularly liked – especially because of the enormous handful of toys Dan took to Egypt with him:
I went to Egypt and I had lots of fun and a nosebleed. That's the thing with time travel: nosebleeds. I liked it at Egypt. It was hot. I did some digging and found lots of beads and necklaces and jewellery and a model of a Pharoah. Monkey enjoyed it lots and Margot and Foofah enjoyed it. It was too hot for Monkey…
I wanted the scenes to be visually exciting, and so I asked the illustrator Rob Flowers to create backgrounds of ancient China, Greece, Rome, Egypt and Mexico. His work is bright, bold and funny, just like Grayson's. Rob used pictures of objects from the Museum when creating the illustrations, and was very interested in where they came from and what they were used for. He was recently interviewed by Topman.co.uk in which he mentions the project and the Museum. Here's my favourite of the four backgrounds – ancient Mexico:
Grayson often mentions technology when giving talks or writing blogs, whether it's to discuss his dislike of the way we use mobile phones or to write about his appreciation of the potential of technology in craft and design. He's used technology in his work, including to create some wonderful digital tapestries. It was therefore interesting to create a workshop that entirely used technology, but to create an illusion – children travelling back in time, teddy bears writing blogs…it's all part of delving deep inside your imagination (something Grayson does in spades) whether it's through the use of technology or not.
The thing that pleased me most of all about the activity was the fact that children did actually bring their own teddies along – it meant that a lot of our standby teddies sat unused most of the time, but it was hugely encouraging to us that the children felt their bears were so important. One even brought her 'second-favourite' teddy because of the fear of losing her favourite one!
We'll be running six Teddy time traveller sessions altogether – the last one will be on Saturday 4 February. Bring your children, nieces, nephews and all their friends – and don't forget your teddies!

ANSI approves new RIA robot safety standard
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has approved a new U.S. national robot safety standard. Developed by Robotic Industries Association (RIA), Ann Arbor, Mich., the ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012 standard has been updated for the first time since 1999 and now is harmonized with the ISO 10218:2011 standard for robot manufacturers and integrators.
The adoption of the international standard allows systems designed and built in one country to be freely moved to other countries while maintaining compliance with safety regulations. A key feature in the standard is collaborative operation, which is the introduction of a worker to the loop of active interaction during automatic robot operation. Systems can be designed for the operator to load and unload the robot directly or drive the robot manually to a selected location, eliminating the need for fixtures.

Skip to comments.Iranian Alert -- DAY 17 -- LIVE THREAD PING LIST
Posted on 06/26/2003 12:01:10 AM PDT by DoctorZIn
In just 12 days (July 9th) the people of Iran are planning massive demonstrations events and strikes. On this date, 4 years ago, the regime brutally attacked peaceful student demonstrators while in their dorms. The result was the loss of life and liberty of hundreds of students, many of which are still unaccounted for.
Iran is a country ready for a regime change. If you follow this thread you will witness, I believe, the transformation of a country. This daily thread provides a central place where those interested in the events in Iran can find the best news and commentary.
Please continue to post your news stories and comments to this thread.
Thanks for all the help.

The regime is making a big mistake. It may have worked if they have near-total control of information inside Iran. Without it, this may well backfire. Some blockheads inside the regime are hastening its downfall. It may be that they feel doomed.
Mullahs sent many of their political opponents to the firing squad. Soon, it could be their turn.
Do they not really know or just pretend not to know? Either way, those reformers appear to be useless.
I hope that at least some of Iranian military and security side with protesters after July 9, instead of merely staying out of trouble.
The regime is making a "French Revolution"-style uprising inevitable. I think they hope to flush out some of the hard-core on Friday, with hopes of some trying rescue attempts.
Arrested Iran Prisoners To Face Death Sentence [Mass Public Executions Friday]
I think this news will confirm their resolve. The "threat" in the letter also seems to indicate a big change in tactics.
Dr. Ramin Etebar
June 19, 2003
Dear Media Editors;
For the ninth straight day, the people of Iran have taken to the streets to protest the dictatorship of the ruling religious clerics. The tyrants in Tehran have been brutally killing and injuring the innocent demonstrators whose only crime is the cry of freedom. The crack down is not only carried out by the anti-riot police, but also by Islamic vigilantes known as Ansaar-e-hezbolah. These savage vigilantes are attacking demonstrators with knives, screwdrivers, chains, mace, clubs and handguns. Watching Persian satellite television programs, the Iranian people are asking why the US media is not covering these events adequately. Over the years the Iranian government sponsored anti-US demonstrations have been well publicized and broadcast on the US national news; but now the real movement of the Iranian people is ignored. The Iranian population favors the United States of America more than any other nation, including their neighbors in the Middle East. The voices of the Iranians must be heard as the first Iranian revolution of the twenty first century looms in the near future. Your attention to this serious matter will insure long term friendship between our two nations.
Ramin Etebar, M.D.
DoctorZin Note: We need to continue to press the media to cover this story. If the media warns of this impending slaughter of protesters, our government and that of the free world will be encouraged to put further public pressure on the mullahs of Iran, warning them not to slaughter these innocent men and women, before its too late.
I'm hoping the mullahs have come to their senses and won't carry through on their threats.
Thank you, again. I'm leaving this window open...
From your earlier post...
"I am hoping that no news is good news."
I would think that if they were prepared to start a reign of terror, the regime would want to make a very public demonstration of their power. That is what some of the haedliners reportedly want. I understand that they want to broadcast the executions around the country, to instill fear of the regime. If they fail to do so, then it will encourage the demonstators."
Excellent analysis! I think you are absolutely correct.
I'm praying for them...
Isn't that nice?......
The executions are based on false confessions forced from those under arrest.
Which is hardly surprising when most regimes that plan 'public executions' probably have no problem with bamboo shoots under the fingernails, immolation, decapitation, and other such undignified ways of dying...................(to say the least)....anyway,.............
They confessions allege that they are spys for US intelligence.
What a commie line that is...........yeah, okay, they're capitalist spies for the Zionist/ American imperialist machine.

PFD No. Not-2: Theeeeeooooooooooo
Ryan Lambert
September 17 2009 03:41PM
Welcome to the Preseason Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's second warmup-season game on September 17, 2009.
We all know that tonight is the first night we'll see a largely NHL-laden Flames roster, including the debuts of several new additions, but we also know that none of that matters, because none of them won a Stanley Cup in 1989 like some people I can think of.
Yup, it's the first actual game of Theoren Fleury's comeback attempt and I for one am somewhat excited. Having grown up with the Flames as my favorite team, there was something romantic about a guy that was 5-foot-6 and something like 180 pounds of speed, skill and, to borrow a Brian Burke term, pugnacity. It's also nice that, as an adult, I can see a Calgary Flame that's shorter than me.
Far better writers than me have written on the importance — or lack thereof — of Theo's comeback; how it's a wonderful chance to, if nothing else, ameliorate some of the tension that is obviously felt between him and the current Flames ownership group and maybe take another step toward retiring his number along side Lanny MacDonald's and Mike Vernon's (though I'd say Al MacInnis deserves to go first, but that's just me. I'll leave that to them.
All I'm hoping for is that the guy at least doesn't embarrass himself and maybe wins a roster spot in Abbotsford. If nothing else, it'll move some tickets.
So in the interest of familiarizing everyone with these rosters, comprised almost entirely of kids, at least for tonight, let's get into this: "Better Know a Prospect (or whatever)!"
Meet the Centers
Mikael Backlund —There's a real good chance this kid's a top-six forward for the Flames this year, considering the last few things I read about camp had him on a line with Olli Jokinen and Jarome Iginla. I assume that line is gonna roll tonight as well, and it'll be interesting to see how the kid does.
Greet the Wings
Nigel Dawes — You saw him the other night in a supporting role (something like 16 minutes of ice time). He didn't look out of his depth or anything like that, from what I understand.
Theo Fleury — Never heard of him. AHL guy for sure.
Jason Jaffray — This is a signing that at once improves the farm team (Jaffray scored just over a point a game over the last two AHL seasons) and gives the Flames a not-terrible emergency callup in case of extreme injuries.
Freddy Sjostrom — Pretty decent chance at making the team in a complimentary role. There was a little talk that he'd compete for a top-six spot but I've seen the kid play and he really won't at all.
Colin Stuart — Played the other night, picked up a minus-2 and four penalty minutes for a high sticking double minor. Yikes.
Brett Sutter — Daddy Darryl's li'l boy will have fun in Abbotsford this year I bet.
David Van der Gulik — Not bad for a seventh-round pick. Not good for an NHL player.
Step right up and meet the D
Keith Aulie — The only defenseman playing tonight that probably hasn't made the team if you're counting Giordano as a no-doubter, which I am, albeit grudgingly. He'll get one of Jay Bouwmeester, Robyn Regehr, Dion Phaneuf, Cory Sarich or Giordano (probably that last guy) as his pairing mate, and what the hell, it'll be fun to see this kid pummel John Tavares.
Mark Giordano — He'll probably make it in Calgary, not that I'm all that happy about it.
(Also there are some goalies)
Dave Shantz — I don't know anything about this guy. He won't make it with the AHL or NHL teams, so why bother?
Oh and hey, feel free to chit chat in the comments section about the live stream being featured on calgaryflames.com tonight. It's only available if you're in Western Canada, I think, so feel free to keep me apprised of whether or not Theo Fleury gets in a fight (God I hope so).
I'd just die laughing if Fleury had a multi point game tonight. Not literally of course TLP. Don't worry.
Well, he got the shootout goal at least, so he's definitely selling the preseason tickets at least.
I know equipment was heavy back then, but I'd doubt he was 160 lbs in his prime. I doubt Theo Huxtable was 180 lbs in his prime!
I fondly remember the Fleury days too... Not only was he a heart and soul guy during tough times, his trade landed Robyn Regehr in Calgary. One of the most lobsided rental player deadline deals in franchise history.

Bob and Mike Bryan are already the most successful men's doubles team in history, capturing the Golden Slam earlier this year to go with a record 15 Grand Slam titles and 92 overall titles together.
But the world No. 1s can now add another distinction to their illustrious careers, as the United States Olympic Committee named the Bryans as its 2012-13 Team of the Year as part of the USOC's annual awards.
The Bryans became the first men's doubles team in history to own the Golden Slam – holding all four Grand Slam doubles titles plus the Olympic gold medal – with their victory at Wimbledon this year. Their Wimbledon win went with their titles at the French Open and Australian Open in 2013 as well as their US Open title and gold medal from the London Olympics in 2012.
The honor will be presented during an awards reception in conjunction with the 100 Days Out Celebration to commemorate the final countdown to the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games on Oct. 29 in New York.
The USOC SportsMan and SportsWoman of the Year awards have been presented annually to the top overall male and female athletes from USOC member organizations since 1974. In 1996, a team category was added to recognize the outstanding achievements of team members who might not otherwise have been eligible for individual awards.
The only other tennis players to be honored with Athlete of the Year awards are Pete Sampras (Sportsman of the Year, 1997) and Jennifer Capriati (Sportswoman of the Year, 2001) .

So, you love a service member. They could be your son or daughter, your boyfriend, or long term partner, but there are likely a number of things you've yet to understand about the military lifestyle. As an "outsider" on the inside, it can be difficult to feel connected to the military community, especially when your service member is deployed or away on duty.
Modern military families take on many different shapes and forms, and it's important for you to know the basic information and resources available to your unique situation. Getting everything down can be confusing, even for those that grew up in the military, let alone for parents or boyfriends trying to nail down the logistics. Whether you think an FRG* is the toy robot your nephew wants for Christmas, or you just want to know how to keep in touch with your service member while they're deployed, the new Partners, Parents, and Significant Others section of our website has you covered. Find information particular to those new to the military lifestyle or just approaching the military from a new perspective. Acronyms, benefits, and information for caregivers—we've put it all in one place!
As a non-ID card holder, you are likely not near a military installation, and there are many things that you might not have access to. Your service member is always your best information resource, but they might not always be available to help with questions and concerns as they arise. Create your own military community by staying in the know through your service member's leadership, and becoming part of local groups and organizations that provide support and resources. With our nation at war for more than a decade, it is an especially difficult time to have a loved one in the military, but having the right resources and information can help provide some stability in the most unstable of times.
*an FRG isn't a toy robot—it's a Family Readiness Group.
Experienced military families: what's something you've learned that you would pass on to a non-ID card holder as they learn more about the military?

Are You Fun Enough for a 5th Grader?
by gwilson on Apr.20, 2011, under Uncategorized
People around the world have been drawn to Jeff Foxworthy's game show – Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? The game show puts a lone individual at the mercy of a group of bright and talented 5th graders and challenges them to answer common questions any 5th grader should have seen at some point in their brief educational career. Truth be told, we all want to know we're smarter than a 12 year old and we all want our rising generation to be smart and capable, ready to face the problems 20 years that we've not solved today.
You may recall that last semester the students in BIMS 1300 Intro to Scientific Research created games as their final project, a way to demonstrate how the skills and methods of science are commonly encountered when playing typical board games. This semester, the stakes were raised by asking four teams in the BIMS 1300 class to create games for 5th graders. McMurry's 5th Grade Science & Math Magnet Class students (the "McMagnets") were asked about their favorite games and what they would like to see in a new game. Those responses are helping to guide the BIMS teams in the creation of their games. These are the preliminary ideas under construction:
- Germ-a-lot. This board game features home castles, moats and draw bridges, an Ogre, and catapults used to knock down your opponent. Players roll the dice and navigate along a path between swamp and forest as they answer questions and collect chances to shoot at their opponents with a catapult. Last player standing wins. The Germ-a-lot title plays off of Camelot and the fact that plagues and other germ-centered elements of the game make this a title a logical choice.
- The Pyramid. Though one might consider the Egyptian version, this game will center on Central American/Mexican pyramids in a jungle setting. As this game concept only emerged two days ago, the directions and ending of game play still are in their formative stages. However, there will be a journey along the game board through jungle and hazards before players reach the 3-D pyramid with pitfalls. They will have to collect equipment for the journey along the way and scale the pyramid to win the game. One unique feature is the concept of partners having to cooperate and help one another so that both can reach the summit and win the game.
- Junior High. This clever game allows students to make choices and move through their junior high years. At each fork in the road is a decision point where good or bad decisions await the player. Players must choose friends and activities through their school year, and can use the occasion of each new school year to make changes and adjust who they are and what they do. Should prove to be a great learning tool for guiding young players to make smart choices.
- Body Building. Players roll dice to move their tokens around a game board shaped like the human body. Depending on the color of space landed on, the player must answer a question in one of several science categories (the McMagnet teacher's science book is being used as the source for questions). Get it right and you get to pull a Jenga block out of the tower in the middle of the board and use it to begin building your own tower. The person who makes the tower fall automatically loses, while the other player with the tallest tower at that time wins the game.
So, four very different and interesting games, filled with dimension, tactile activities, right choices, science knowledge, and all-around fun. I'll report back on these when we see how they turn out. AND, I'll post the commercials for the games each team is making as part of their final submission. Yes, BIMS is more fun than it has to be!

So comfortable!
"I absolutely love these flip flops! I have worn Roxy flip flops before and my current pair needed to be replaced and I didn't hesitate when I bought this pair. I normally wear a size 7 but bought a size 8, just in case. They are so comfortable and you can dress them up or down. The braided leather straps are soft and do not chafe at all. My new fave pair of flip flops!"

"These flip flops are both cute and comfy! I wished I had paid attention to the other reviews prior to ordering them though. I should have went a half size up."

Great Purchase
"I am not a flip flop kind of girl most of the time, so I loved that these sandals look a little bit nicer than typical rubber sandals, while still being very affordable. I ordered these in June before a long summer trip and wore them while I was walking all day in hot cities in Europe. I found them to be more comfy than most sandals, and they are definitely worth the price. I am about to order a second pair of these in black as back-up for when my current pair gets too worn down."

While this community, county and area of the state has tried very hard to diversify our business base, the basic fact is that when something affects coal, it affects all of us.
Coal mining has been the staple of this area ever since the population passed a very small number in the days when agriculture was the mainstay here. That was very early on. Today the boom in energy consumption and consequently higher production will help our area immensely.
Some have thought all the gas wells in the area would provide a higher standard of living when companies started drilling a lot of them a decade ago. But while mineral lease royalties to local government have increased a lot, the number of steady jobs related to this energy source does not have a high potential. Rigs come in and poke the holes in the ground and crews spend money here. Once the wells are developed, there is little labor except some maintenance on the well head and the lines to do.
So in fact, despite all the adversity we hear about coal being a dirty fuel and a dangerous mineral to extract, it still is, and looks to be the mainstay of employment in this area in one form or another for many years.
Last year the Wall Street Journal ran a story on the fact that higher demand for coal also seems to result in less safe operating records for the coal industry, particularly in mines that employ less than 50 miners.
Despite the fact that in general coal mining, based on statistics, has become safer and safer as the years have worn on. This past year and a half has presented many a sensational story for the media to gloat pessimistically about the condition of the coal mining industry.
According to the piece, mines with less than 50 workers represent 25 percent of the coal operations in the country. In addition, 14 of the 22 deaths reported in coal mining operations last year came from those kinds of mines.
However, the media in general likes to paint the coal mining industry with one brush, and it is an unsafe one. Ask any of the miners you know, and they can tell you tales of unsafe operations. Most can even tell you about unsafe circumstances in mines with large numbers of employees. But overall, in those operations safety is stressed because despite the call of high coal prices begging for increased production, most major mine management knows that a slip up on safety can cost them dearly in both dollars and public confidence.
No injury or death is acceptable in any workplace, yet they happen everyday. I recently read about one mine accident in Kentucky the operator of a shuttle car couldn't see another worker who was in the way because the mine had placed higher than regulation sides on the car to carry more coal. The owner of the mine when interviewed said that the death in this case "was just an accident and that's all."
Well someone needs to tell that guy that accidents just don't happen; there are causes, most of which can be foreseen and avoided.
The tragedy of injury or death in a coal community is all too real, and in some all too common. This area has had major disasters in mines and minor injuries as well. We are not immune. Families often just chalk it up to the fact that their loved ones work in a dangerous occupation. Surprisingly though, statistically, coal mining isn't even in most of the top 10 lists of most dangerous occupations (in terms of fatalities). Depending on whose list you are looking at the worst is logging, followed by flying aircraft and then commercial deep sea fishing. But almost any job that requires a lot of driving is dangerous too, because most years 25 percent of on the job deaths occur on the highways.
That doesn't mean coal mining is not dangerous, but what it should mean is that an occupation that once claimed in terms of major injury, health problems or fatalities, one in every two workers, has become much safer.
Still, one injury or one death is too much. Labor, management and government must continue to work together to make mines and working conditions safer.

Then this will really freak you out: I have eight Anna Matuozzo shirts in the exact same Riva blue twill, and in exactly the same format. By next year, I hope to make that number twelve.
There's nothing more beautiful to me than a closet full of the same shirt.
There's nothing more beautiful to me than a closet full of the same shirt.
You're right. I'm totally freaked out. I'm glad you don't know where I live now.
The funny thing is, if push came to shove, I'd keep the double-button collar and ditch the other changes. I don't know why higher collars seem to suit me so much better. On the face, it makes little sense since I'm short. Maybe it has to do with the exact shape of my neck, or maybe it looks better because I'm shorter. If it means anything, Anna herself suggested a higher collar for me on my bespoke shirts. I don't know what's going on. But I experience a similar phenomenon with regard to collar size: bigger seems to be better on me, despite my stature.
I can see that, in the abstract. But I wear OCBDs almost exlcusively without ties, and I happen to think that double-button collars look not-so-good with an open collar, which is why it's a deal killer for me (and to a lesser extent, the placket for the same reason...)
EDIT: Houndstooth OCBDs are a classic too.

Young earns Bills backup reps for the week
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 20 2012 6:35PM
The Buffalo Bills are one step closer to naming their backup quarterback.
"Vince Young has performed well enough in the last two games to warrant more work," head coach Chan Gailey started off on Monday. "He'll get the majority of the work with the two's this week. He'll get most of the work with the second group when they go in on Saturday night. We need to see how he can handle more gameplan, more gametime, more everything."
Young's performance on Friday night against the Minnesota Vikings -- particularly the four-play drive ending in a touchdown for the Bills -- has given the former Titans and Eagles quarterback the leg up in the backup competition. Gailey urged that Young hasn't been awarded anything yet, but said he certainly has the edge in the matter.
"Oh yeah, he's got the edge or we wouldn't have given him more reps. He's made more things happen. You've got to give him credit for that," the head coach said. "We need to see how much he can handle, to see if he can handle the whole load because once you get to the season he doesn't get many reps. So we've got to find out how he can handle all of this."
Alarms were raised when Young, who had been switching daily with Tyler Thigpen as to who received the second team reps, was manning the second unit for the third straight session. Young was with the two's the practice before the Vikings game, the actual Vikings game and then again during Monday's practice.
Through two games of the preseason, Young has completed 13-of-27 passes for 173 yards, setting up a touchdown on his final drive of the second contest. Whereas Thigpen is only 11-of-23 for 94 yards while throwing two interceptions.
"It's not an indictment on Tyler, it's just Vince has done some good things," Gailey said. "We know where Tyler is. We've got to evaluate Vince more."
With the third preseason game being the usual dress rehearsal for most first-string players across the NFL, Young will likely get the majority of playing time not administered to Ryan Fitzpatrick and the first unit.
The Bills take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Epic Games has revealed the full demo video of its next-generation Unreal 4 Engine, showing of some advanced new lighting effects, impressive draw distance and objects that are far more reactionary to their environment than before.
While we did get a first look at a few images from the video just over a week ago, it's only really now, with the full motion animation that some of the effects can be appreciated.
The most obvious and eye candy like of the new features are the GPU particles. Being able to bring to bear graphics card acceleration in this area allows for many more small scale particles, like dust motes and magical swirly stuff. That's right, that beautiful, bitty, purple or green dust that always appears in games when magic is afoot, can now be rendered in real-time without a pre-determined animation.
Along with these are some much more advanced lighting effects. Secondary reflections and translucency have much more affect on the scene, allowing for increased realism in each of the demo's interior and exterior shots. Coupled with the new particle effects and tweaked volumetric lighting and there are some quite breathtaking scenes in the demo.
However it's only in the developer video released alongside the UE4 engine demo that we can see other graphical advances with this new engine. The improved day/night cycle system has far more lifelike lighting changes and the ability to move in and out of the editor mode at ease, should mean those licensing Epic's next-gen engine will have a far easier time editing together these pretty new effects.
The lava looks great too. Very gloopy and heavy.
Add new comment
Looks great but its still
And exactly how many of these
Funny thing is their all a
mixed bag..
Sure it looks pretty but it`s also a giant cut scene. after seeing the tedium that is mass effect 3 where for 40 hours you barely get to interact or fight with anything this does indeed look exactly what developers are after. a pretty graphics engine to avoid coding gameplay. Dunno why this is what people want but it seems with multi million dollar game developments, gameplay is the last thing on their mind. Still, very pretty indeed.
next gen consoles only have
Awesome. And where did you
Raw power is useless on consoles
The same physical hardware on console is not limited by DirectX instruction sets, and can be used by fully accessing the hardware (that's a thing that you can only do on Consoles)
The PS3 still has a damn OLD GeForce 3/4 architecture inside is belly and even the XBOX360 implement an OLD AMD Radeon HD like chip
The only difference is the Wii that is underpowered and it's just a restyle of the old Gamecube
Just think about what it was possible to do under Windows 95 with a VooDoo card when using Glides (completely outperforning DirectX)

Radio Radio
February 03 2011 05:00PM
Good afternoon, Oilers Nation. We have a very special announcement.
The powers that be are always looking for innovative ways to reach out to Oilers nation. Edmonton Oiler fans are not only plentiful but also possess a strong appetite for information on the copper and blue. It is an extremely powerful group of people, with research suggesting the visitors to our site are employed, enjoy a higher than average income and have very little fear of being caught spending countless hours on this site during work hours (we peak just before noon many days).
One day not long ago, Wanye asked the question "where do we go from here?" The response was "pay your tab and get out it's 2AM" but it started Wanye on a journey that would pay off. Eventually, he was struck with an idea: move Oilers Nation to radio! Oiler talk from Oilers Nation every week! Wanye bought a suit and took the #43 bus to the studios of Team 1260 Radio. Once there, he gave brand director Ross MacLeod an overview of his idea: a weekly talk show that married the Oilers, the Oilers Nation web masses and Team 1260 Radio.
Nation Radio was born. Saturdays Noon to 2pm starting February 12th on Team 1260 Radio Edmonton. Oilers, NHL talk and a chance to share your opinion. Every week.
This is Allan Mitchell. He will host the weekly, two-hour show. The show will rely heavily on interviews and give fans a chance to re-live the Oilers glorious past, take a close look at the Oilers now and spend time looking forward to what will be a wonderful hockey club in the future. The major stories in the NHL each week will also be featured in the show's second hour. I sat down with Mr. Mitchell earlier today in order to get more information about the show and its format.
- Lowetide: What are your qualifications for hosting the show?
- Allan Mitchell: I'd prefer an easier question.
- Lowetide: Okay, what are you going to be talking about each week?
- Allan Mitchell: The show will be a work in progress, but there are three main areas I'm hoping we can cover each week. First, the Oilers have a rich history and with each passing year there are more fans who don't know the legendary stories surrounding this team. The night Gretzky's plane took off for Winnipeg or Edmonton, or the 4,000 Boris Mironov stories that made the rounds back in the day. Lots of young Oiler fans don't know those stories, we'll make an effort to inform them while reminding old guys like me of the glory days. I bet there aren't 100 Oiler fans under 30 who know the legend of Tony Hand.
- Lowetide: Plus you'll do stories on the current team?
- Allan Mitchell: Sure. Actually, if you look at the current headlines on Oilers Nation over the last few days you'd get an excellent idea about the subject matter for the current team. Jason Gregor's Renney interview, or his insight on Dean Lombardi or even the painful Andrew Cogliano story. Or Robin Brownlee's item on the Kings being a possible trade partner for Steve Tambellini, that could be a portion of the show.
- Lowetide: Will there be a chance for calls and emails?
- Allan Mitchell: God, yes. Otherwise, you're going to be hearing my wife's apple crisp recipe by the third segment. It's excellent by the way.
- Lowetide: Will you get into the "math of the blogosphere?"
- Allan Mitchell: If you mean will we talk about the issues that come out of Devan Dubnyk's save percentage making Nikolai Khabibulin's look like the Oilers are playing the wrong guy, yes. Yes we will. But you don't have to bring a slide rule to turn on the radio every Saturday at noon.
- Lowetide: I asked this at the top, let me rephrase it: what makes you a good fit to host the show
- Allan Mitchell: I believe the powers that be might be thinking that my blog posts (here and at Lowetide) cause people to express their own well thought out opinions. I've always tried to make sure people were respectful and have been rewarded with splendid posts from countless people over the years. Seriously. I view the game of hockey differently than I did before the internet arrived at my house because of the people who post on blogs. Lawyers, guys who own car dealerships, men, women, children. The blogosphere is still horribly misunderstood and I think the MSM remains very cynical about it. There are some very smart people out there who will make intelligent comments if given the opportunity. Maybe this new forum will be that outlet and maybe MSM will take notice about the wealth of quality input coming from the Oilers fanbase. I'll be the host, but the guests, calls and emails will be the star of the show.
- Lowetide: Is this just an attempt to get a media pass to Oilers games?
- Allan Mitchell: O God no. I'm an outsider. I don't belong with the main stream media. I'm a fan.
Mr. Mitchell appeared relaxed and composed during the interview but did not offer to pay for his drink.

February 03 2011, 05:42PM
@MattL you should I'm freaking famous!
Disclaimer: I am in no way shape or form famous, someone did ask me for my autograph once but I think they were a collection agency
My name is Steve
Edit: after looking at your profile I see you are Matt Lisac, yes I do know you we are doing a show together in 2 hours.
Edit Edit: If anyone wants to see MattL and myself perform comedy we will be at Yuk Yuks tonight starting at 7:30, you can pick up free tickets under the name Steve Schulte
February 03 2011, 05:44PM
woo hoo!! Good radio on the weekends!? Wonders will never cease. I am very happy to hear this news. Congratulations to a very deserving fellow.
February 03 2011, 05:58PM
Congrats Mr. Mitchell, you deserve this gig and I look forward to tuning in!
Will the radio show be available for download somewhere for those of us either out of reach of 1260's powerful radio waves, or simply unavailable during the timeslot?
February 03 2011, 06:02PM
Looking forward to the show. Will you also be speaking the third person there? :)
Bwahaha "This is Allan Mitchell." "This is Stan Weir."
Ranks right behind "In the begining....", and "It was the best of times.......", but it's ahead of "Once upon a time"
Your calling card for sure. Great stuff.
Will this 'radio' cast be archived anywhere? Or could you pull some strings with your old Red Deer connections to get it on the skwokbox down here?
February 03 2011, 06:05PM
LT count me among the 100. I do know the legend of Tony Hand. (Yes I am that old)
other shows on 1260 are available by podcast, so I suspect this one will be as well - if not, I would suggest you email 1260 and tell them that the Nation demands this or else we will fill the streets with a million man march and topple the powers that be (I really have to stop reading the international news).
LT - you did some on air Radio stuff previously - correct?
February 03 2011, 06:07PM
Sounds a bit like the Sienfeld pilot.
@MattL you should I'm freaking famous!

This is hilarious - I wonder how many of us know one another but don't know that we know one another.
Bookie, are you my bookie??!!?!?!?!1
You mean you have a star on the sidewalk in front of YukYuks with tickets hidden under it? You are famous.
Will the show be on the Teams pod cast list?
February 03 2011, 06:17PM
Way to go Low...errr...Alan. Congrats. It's been a long time coming.
It would sure be nice if you could swing an archive of your show here at ON. You know, for those of us who may not get outta bed until some time around 2:00 on any given Saturday.
Will the radio show be available for download somewhere for those of us either out of reach of 1260's powerful radio waves, or simply unavailable during the timeslot?
Congrats to you Lowetide. I am thinking there may be some pretty good subject matter on these shows, should be fun.
If you have access to a computer, listen online, works great for me and I am some few thousand kms out of reach. Speaking of which, LT, could you please move this program up or back a few hours...will be smack in middle of my Saturdays....kidding :) .
Just to add to your comment on smart hockey people. I personally have learned a ton of hockey knowledge reading the Oiler blogs over the last couple of years. I've realized I knew jack about the game before getting addicted to these damn sites. Good stuff Oil fans out there.
February 03 2011, 06:26PM
Perfect face for radio :P
Math on the radio!
Well, I never....
And back to the bowels of Sunwapta Broadcasting. Does Art Canard still walk the halls when the lights are dimmed?
Seriously, though, should be good radio.
All the best.
February 03 2011, 06:33PM
... my gawd man it's about freaking time ...
many good wishes every success for you sir
February 03 2011, 06:36PM
Would Oiler management have any part of production or suggestions on topics on your show?
February 03 2011, 06:40PM
It's about time.
I mean...
Great stuff, LT. I'm looking forward to listening.
No, but I might be your Prof... or perhaps your gynecologist... or maybe your dealer...
Note - I am definitely not some of those things...
February 03 2011, 06:50PM
Congrats, LT.
And give yourself some credit - there must be more than 100 of us that read something you've written on Tony Hand.
February 03 2011, 06:57PM
Congrats ! Love team1260 I live almost 3 hours from edmonton but spend countless hours on the highway listening to scratchy sometimes 'unhearable' on the oilers and eskies. The more the merrier.
February 03 2011, 06:59PM
Lowtide, Excellent news. I look forward to hearing your stories and insights to our beloved Oilers. Oh yeah..!!!!
LT's next series of Posts now that he joins the MSM!

February 03 2011, 07:02PM
Will there be discussions about the Oilers 1st overall pick in 2011?( It might generate some debate your welcome)
Anyone watched RNH play live lately?
10 pts in 4 games this week..
Any chance of interviews with some of the guys from the Glory and not so glory years?
February 03 2011, 07:35PM
You may be able to twist my arm during or shortly after TC, while we're still drunk with the anticipation of a new season.
February 03 2011, 07:40PM
Im fairly new to all this but I do want to ask, why are you wearing a Colorado Avalanche jersey in fron of the Gretzky statue? :P
man, what's with the Katzian empire that Wanye is building? I am beginning to think that the hovel under high level bridge that Wanye currently lives in is actually the secret entrance to his all Oilers all the time bat lair.
I am picturing him to look like Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing but instead of a typewriter around his neck and 20" cigarette sticking out of his mouth, he has a 1982 commodore strapped to his neck and a bag of synthetic hemp with an electronic cigarette sticking out of his mouth.
Movin on up...movin on up!
Hey Wanye, don't forget us little guys when they add you to the Hall in the media wing*!

I can't wait to hear you broadcasting from the crystal gondola in the palatial main studios of the team 1260.
I'll be tuning in on line from St. John's, so all you need is someone from BC to make your show heard Coast to Coast.

Study reveals pros and cons to Exeter and Antietam school merger
EXETER TWP., Pa.- - The results of a merger study between Exeter and Antietam school districts revealed benefits for students, yet little savings for taxpayers during a special community forum at the Reiffton School Tuesday night.
Roughly 300 people heard the results of a feasibility study conducted by The Civic Research Alliance that detailed different options the districts have pertaining to a partial or full merger. Kerry Moyer of the Civic Research Alliance discussed the study's four different merging options.
The first option would maintain the status-quo, keeping the districts the way they are now.
A second option would be shared services a program, in which both schools would share course offerings, resources, and faculty.
The third option includes adopting a regional school model where Antietam and Exeter would share all their resources. This option would assign students from both districts to schools nearest to them. Moyer said this plan would also ensure all ten buildings between the districts would be used and could expand course offerings without additional debt.
The fourth option would include a physical combining of the two schools. This plan would call for the 18 board members from both schools be narrowed down to nine. Course offerings would be expanded and classes could be filled to capacity, not expanded.
"Instead of having a classroom with over a handful of students, a merger could bring more students allowing faculty more time to teach other courses," said Moyer.
While students could benefit from a merger, taxpayers wouldn't see any significant savings. "Tax paying residents would likely see no changes in their tax rates," said Moyer.
A full merger could save nearly $600,000 in administrative costs, however, matching teacher's salary and benefits would cost roughly $700,000. Moyer said the study did not include laying off faculty.
Antietam is roughly the quarter the size of Exeter in terms of student enrollment and tax revenue and would benefit more from the merger than Exeter. Some residents were concerned about Antietam's lower PSSA testing averages and fewer course offerings, questioning what Exeter would gain from a merger.
"This whole night has sounded like a sales pitch for Antietam," said Exeter resident Denise Lambert to applause.
Board President Robert H. Quinter Jr. noted that Exeter would benefit from a merger. "I see one benefit would be three additional buildings added to our district. The Exeter School District would need no new construction in my lifetime, Quinter added."
Quinter reminded those in attendance that the results of the study were meant to give a benchmark to begin at, adding "no decisions have yet been made."

Emily and I spent most of today in the car. We drove to Houston to visit her momma for a bit, and to give her table back now that we have a legit dining table.
We went on a tour of the town, checking out a couple of local nurseries. This particular nursery was in the back.
We had dinner at Texas Roadhouse, and it was delicious! It's been awhile since I was that indifferent to the way I was treating my body. MEAT STARCH MEAT STARCH YEAH!
Good times.

Green River High School along with the community put on the musical Into the Woods last week on Nov. 6, 8 and9. The large cast put on a great show where the acting and singing was superb. The story is a creative rendition of many well-known fairy tales combined that makes one entire new story. Stories such as Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, and Little Red Riding Hood are all intertwined and combined with the story of the Baker & His Wife to produce an amazing show. The first act tells the familiar tales and ends with happy ever after. The second act of the play goes on to reveal what could happen after happy ever after. Despite some controversy over some of the contents of the play, everyone who saw it agreed the cast was wonderful. Ren Hatt and Amy Lemon did an outstanding job as the Baker and his wife, a poor couple unable to have children because of an old curse. Rachel Dunham acted the part of the Witch who cast the curse on the Baker but then tells him how to reverse the curse. Jason Luke did remarkably well at portraying Jack from the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Tawni Bigelow did an amazing job as Cinderella. Savannah Bayles acted out as Little Red Riding Hood wonderfully. Kedric Bayles and Royd Hatt were the charming princes of Cinderella and Rapunzel as well as the wolves that delayed Red Riding Hood in the woods. McKenzie Spadafora took a dramatic hair change as Rapunzel. LuRey Vetere gave an entertaining portrayal of Jack's mother. The whole story was kept moving by the captivating story-telling abilities of the Narrator, Jerome Burns. The difficult music was performed well by the amazing number of good voices included in the cast. The many people who helped with costumes sets and all the other behind the scenes tasks did a marvelous job and are greatly appreciated for their hard work. Director Jessica Jenkins said about the play, It was a huge endeavor and a lot of work was put in by the cast and crew. Despite the few practices we had, the kids pulled it together at the last minute and it was a huge success.

Wish You Were Beer
House Edition: Boxing Bear's Chocolate Cream Stout
By Geoffrey Plant [ Mon Dec 5 2016 4:50 PM ]
Weekly Alibi is an intrinsically local affair. Recently the Alibi staff were blessed with a device that delivers—on demand—one of the locally made products our city is most famous for, besides blue colored crystal methamphetamine and Pimental & Sons guitars. It's our internationally recognized, high-quality local beer. This writer is still trying to think of another name for the thingamajig we use to access this magical liquid, because the word "kegerator", like "labradoodle", is just plain hard to say without inviting a sinking feeling that the english language is seriously at risk. Also, Alibi's beer machine is as finicky as an old Evinrude outboard motor and deserves more than two words mashed together. Perhaps something vintage sounding, like "Fine Time Foam Queen"; "The Spigot" would work as well. Patience is required to get a glass of brew out of our little fridge with a tap on the top of it but the quality of our city's locally produced beer makes the effort worthwhile. As one beer replaces another in the grog box in the back room, Weekly Alibi will share our thoughts and tasting notes. Stay tuned for some ideas on what to order next time you're at one of our local brew-pubs or tap-rooms, there are not-to-be missed pints to be had in nearly every part of town these days. Like the delicious stout our brew hydrant currently dispenses in expanding gushers of foam, creating a fun atmosphere not unlike the one in The Rolling Stones' video for "It's Only Rock 'N' Roll".
• Boxing Bear's Chocolate Milk Stout (5.2 % ABV, 20 IBU)
Boxing Bear's milk stout is a shining example of an American cream stout, so-called because of the addition of non-fermentable lactose—milk sugar— which retains its mild sweetness through fermentation and lends a creamy character to the resulting beer. American stouts are traditionally lighter bodied than their British ancestors and are thus well suited for the addition of an adjunct like lactose, adding texture without creating a monster thick dark beer.
The milk sugar combines with a generous helping of chocolate and caramel malt to bring the beer close to confectionary status without becoming overwhelming. Some chocolate stouts must be rationed like a triple-layer chocolate cake; one glass of Young's Double Chocolate Stout, for example, is sufficient. With any sense, that beer should be delivered to your palate as a finisher, after your main course. Part of what makes Boxing Bear's Chocolate Cream Stout an award-winning beer is its drinkability. It has a medium bodied mouth feel that is textbook American cream stout. Where some chocolate stouts blow the doors off with sweetness and chocolate adjuncts, the Burque-based brewers show restraint. Their measured addition of unprocessed cocoa nibs at the finish adds flavor without dominating the stout's well-balanced character. The result is a brew that some will drink like Guinness (you know, like water) while others will treat their pour as a sophisticated dessert beer. Well done.

Male condoms are an effective form of birth control. However, about 1 out of 50 couples who use condoms correctly will get pregnant in a year. Chances of pregnancy increase if you don't always wear a condom during intercourse, or you use condoms incorrectly.
Condoms are effective at preventing the transmission of most STIs, although there's still some risk. When used correctly, a condom creates a barrier that limits your exposure — and your partner's exposure — to semen or other body fluids that can carry STIs.
