Safari Holidays
You don't necessarily want the same as other people from a safari holiday experience. We don't all like the same, even when it comes to safaris. Some people like it wild and rustic, others prefer luxury. Some want private safari holidays, others prefer to share the experience by joining a group Safari trip. Some people like to feel very close to the earth by going on foot, others like the comfort and safety of a vehicle.
Whatever your preference though, we understand that you are looking for an incredible wildlife experience in beautiful wilderness regions. We know you want good guiding, good honest food, and excellent accommodation suitable to the standard you've chosen.
We also believe that our travellers are keen to ensure that our presence is not going to damage the environment, and will preferably help conservation and the life of local, often quite poor communities. Tribes is at the top of the game as far this is concerned. Check out our awards, plus our ecoratings and feel good factor information on many accommodations.
Safari holidays in Africa are a fabulous experience for all ages. Tribes would love to help you plan the very best safari, something which is just right for you.
Walking through the wild African bush, dinner around the campfire and listening to the 'call of the wild' while camping under the stars is possibly the best African wildlife experience you can get.

Anna Faris: American Horror Story at the Oscars

It just reminded me of the black rubber suit dude on that show. And I don't even watch the show. But that character has been on so many magazine covers and blogged about so many times you can't get away from it. And when she walked onto the carpet, covered in black, all the way up her neck and down to wrists, with that heavy fringe closing everything off, and the lights giving it that gleam, it's all I could think of. Full Story
Over & Under the Number 5
When did this become a PR rule for women in Hollywood? Never admit to sleeping with more than 5 men. Three years ago, Mariah Carey famously claimed: "Please! I never had any type of sexual relationship with (Eminem). I can count the number of people I've had sex with on fewer than the fingers on one hand. Full Story
Fantasy SNL
Over the weekend Lainey and I got into a conversation about fantasy hosts for SNL. People who might actually make it bearable. I said my fantasy host would be Louis CK, but he's my fantasy host for everything. And honestly, I can't see him doing a show like SNL because I'm not sure he could concede enough authority to the writers. Full Story

David Leggio slides himself out to a point just above the crease. He settles there, looking a little bit like an Olympic gymnast who is just about to run toward the pommel horse. Normally, his eyes would be darting from left to right following every bounce and skip of the puck. Now, though, he stares straight forward at the lifeless black cylinder resting at center ice. As soon as the referee blows the whistle, the Rochester Americans' goaltender will go one-on-one with a skater in a game-within-the-game called a "shootout" that will decide the fate of his 19 teammates.
Leggio watches calmly as the approaching skater dips and dives with his head and shoulders like a prize fighter on skates. But he probably never sees anything above the knee. His focus is tunneled on the puck, feet and the blade of the stick. As the skater – Hamilton's Blake Geoffrion – gets closer, it becomes clear to Leggio that this is going to turn into something like the famous scene from Rebel Without a Cause where Jim and Buzz race toward the edge of a cliff to see who will jump out first.
Geoffrion slows down and waits and waits and waits for Leggio to make the first move. He never does and the skater's last-second flick of the puck comes to a stop in the goalie's giant mitt. He'll play this game of chicken with three other skaters, stopping two of them. His teammates score three times in four shots on the Hamilton goalie and the Amerks win.
"A good thought process is to not be worried about what they are going to do, but only worry about what you are going to do," said Leggio, who has stopped eight of nine shootout shots this season.
For most, that's easier said than done. The slightest early tip of the hand in this four-second poker game and highly-skilled shooters will make even the greatest goalies on the planet look helpless. In a game several years ago between the Dallas Stars and Los Angeles Kings, center Mike Ribero slid the puck between his own legs and past the goalie. A Swedish prospect named Linus Omark perfected the art of slowly flipping the puck over the diving goaltender – a move that was later used by Red Wings star Pavel Datsyuk against the Chicago Blackhawks during a nationally televised game.
The shootout was first implemented in the American Hockey League for the 2004-05 season and in the National Hockey League the next season. But the shootout's presence at the top levels of professional hockey simply meant bringing a tradition from ponds and empty arenas to the masses. At least once each week, every Amerks player takes their turn in practice against Leggio and backup Connor Knapp.
While it has been debated and criticized by pundits and traditionalist fans since its inception, even the most crusty on the issue has trouble denying its power when performed in front of 20,000 people. Of course, it has its drawbacks. For example, 11 games or 13 percent of the Florida Panthers 2011-12 regular season ended in the Panthers losing in a shootout. They finished with the sixth most points in the Eastern Conference. Had they won all 11 shootouts, they would have ended up trailing only the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins in total standings points. That's an awful lot of influence for what some deem a coin flip.
"I think we all accept that it's part of the game," Amerks' forward Mark Mancari said. "It's an honor to be picked to go out there with the game on the line."
That's hockey in 2012 and Leggio would probably argue against the coin concept. Last season, he stopped 40 of 50 shootout shots. In his three-year AHL career, he's kept 72 of 86 out of the net, or 83.7 percent. The average NHL save percentage during shootouts is around 67 percent.
"In terms of being the goalie, it's you versus the shooter," he said. "There's nobody to blame when you get scored on."
Shootouts create some interesting heroes. There are terrific regulation goalies who struggle in the shootout and plenty to the contrary. For example, Chicago's Corey Crawford was a well below average goalie last season, but stopped 81.3 percent of shootout shots, which ranked at least eight percent higher than all three Vezina Trophy Finalists. In terms of skaters, budding Montreal star Max Pacioretty went 2-for-13, while Islanders depth center Frans Nielsen went 7-for-11.
What makes Leggio so effective? After the win over Hamilton, coach Ron Rolston grins and says, "he's really good."
Rolston tries to offer a little more details explanation, suggesting the goalie's quick lateral movements and ability to read the shooter play a role. But it's pretty obvious the only guy who knows is Leggio.
He says there isn't much to it. Like Dominique Wilkins would say dunking a basketball is just jumping real high and putting the ball in the hoop. There's a process, though:
When the referee blows the whistle for the skater to go, Leggio finds his spot right above the crease – the one he's tinkered with, watched film on and talked to other goalies about for years. Crossing the blue line is like the yellow flag. He won't move much unless the skater goes way wide to the left or right. The shooter's arrival to the circles – that is the green flag.
"If he's making moves at the top of the circles, they don't really mean anything because he's just stick handling," Leggio said. "If the stick blade is square to you, he's a threat to shoot. If the tip of the blade is facing you, he doesn't have the ability to shoot at that moment."
As the shooter approaches, the netminder has to judge the speed of his charge and begin backing up toward the net at the appropriate rate. Leggio talks about limiting the gap between himself and the amount of net the shooter can see. He says a goalie shouldn't react to fake slap shots or dekes; only when the skater actually hits the puck toward him.
What happens then is like pulling your hand away from touching a hot stove or slapping at a mosquito buzzing around your ear. It's pure reaction to poke the puck away, or swipe at it with the glove or kick with the pad.
His simple strategy of read-and-react has worked at a high rate. But, like a pitcher in baseball, you can make the perfect pitch and the batter still hits a home run.
"Sometimes a guy is going to take a shot and you are in a good position and he scores," he said. "Your job is to limit the percentage."
Asking Mancari, who is 14-for-37 during his career in the shootout, to talk about his plan as a shooter, it isn't hard to tell why Leggio is so successful at limiting shooters' percentage to score. The Amerks' forward says he tries to get the goalie's feet moving. Leggio says he keeps his feet still. Mancari says he looks at the goalie's tendencies to see if he's giving up a particular area. Leggio takes pride in revealing nothing to the shooter.
"Everything is spur of the moment," Mancari said. "You don't know how the goalie's going to react. A lot of the time, I'm not the first shooter so I like watching his habits."
Leggio probably has some habits he would rather not have show up anywhere in print. No matter the quirks, though, the Amerks' goalie's most important asset to winning shootouts is the same as to winning in regulation: competitiveness.
Over and over, Rolston has called him a "battler." Last year, his former college coach told WGR that he's a never-give-up type. His teammates think that, too.
That's the beauty of the shootout. It's a fluid and an inexact art where no two painters are alike. There's personality to it. There's a million ways to stop a shooter and all of them are mostly right and sort of wrong.
Leggio doesn't care how it gets done, he just doesn't want to lose. And he usually doesn't.

Man who organized grassroots effort to hold Saratoga Springs Memorial Day Parade has not paid Public Safety bill
SARATOGA SPRINGS — When the city's Memorial Day Parade was canceled earlier this year, organizers cited, among other things, a lack of funding.
Six months after the parade was held as scheduled by a grassroots group, taxpayers are still on the hook for part of the bill.
Public Safety Commissioner Christian Mathiesen said the organizers of the event have not paid the $502.90 bill for police overtime that was incurred to close streets and police the crowd — something for which all private groups organizing events in the city are responsible.
The man who organized the parade, Paul Brisson, said the money is intentionally being withheld out of protest for the charge.
"The city can wait, and the city can think about it," he said.
The May 28 parade was canceled shortly before the planned date because of a lack of funding and interest by the organizers — the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and the Italian-American War Veterans. All three groups would typically put in $500 for the event for bands, transportation and police overtime associated with the event.
The latter, though, had become a sore spot for the veterans after the fee was instituted in 2010.
James Coyne, who is heavily involved in all three organizations and had worked to organize the parade for more than 20 years, said the Public Safety fee contributed to their decision to cancel the event.
"It doubled each year," he said, and that did not sit well with some of the veterans. "It got to be too much of an expense for us."
Mathiesen said the policy is applied uniformly, "however wonderful the event." He said it was instituted "in order to protect our taxpayers from absorbing these costs." Continued...
Coyne said he and other organizers informed City Hall they would not hold the parade more than a month before Memorial Day.
The week before the holiday the cancellation came out in the media, and within a week Brisson was spearheading an effort to organize the parade privately.
He started a Facebook page, garnered donations, secured insurance, put in money of his own and filed the necessary paperwork. Part of the organization was an agreement to pay for the additional time police had to work because of the parade.
Brisson was honored by Assemblyman Jim Tedisco at the state Capitol for his grassroots effort to hold the parade.
The city has billed Brisson twice, according to Deputy Public Safety Commissioner Eileen Finneran, but hasn't heard back from him.
Brisson said he received both letters and they sit on his desk, unopened, "as a reminder" that "these bills should not have to be paid by normal citizens."
He also called the fact that private citizens had to put on the Memorial Day Parade "an insult and an embarrassment to me as an American."
However, he said he will pay it by the end of the year.
Mathiesen said he was unaware of any protest.
"The responsible thing to do would be to contact us. Or if you have a problem with the policy, come before the City Council," he said. "This is the only organization that has ever done this to the city. Continued...
"It's a shame because (Brisson) was given a lot of notoriety for putting this together and he didn't follow through, and that meant taxpayers have to pay that expense," Mathiesen said.
The commissioner said the ordeal may lead to a change in the way special events put on by private groups are handled in the future.

Comments On Jun 03, 2013:IMO, this is the Best rear tire made for desert and single track. I love this tire and I buy nothing but. It is very predictable and hooks up great. I cant wait to wear out the stock tires on my new KTM 300 XC and get one of these on there. Highly Recomended!

Comments On Apr 25, 2013:For a soft tire, this wore well and losted a long time. For early spring riding in the mud, rocks and at the dunes this tire hooks up well.

Comments On Apr 06, 2013:bought a 130 size, Ended up skinnier then my 110 haha the sizing the use is a bit off definately would have went with the 140.

Comments On Mar 13, 2013:It is actually on a 250x. The RMMC website does not recognize this as a tire that fits 250x, but it does-I've got the 120. Forget all the crap you hear about sizes and ratio changes and not being factory size, robbing power or being too much for small thumpers. If you like traction rather than wheel spin, get this tire!!

Comments On Mar 05, 2013:I pair this tire with the VE-35 front for the best combination I've ever used off road. The M5B lasts a long time and gets traction on any terrain.

Comments On Dec 31, 2012:This tire is amazing! If hooks up from day one and just keeps planted in all terrain. It appears to wear quickly at first, but I flip the tire after its about 1/2 worn and it really lasts. I clocked 27 hours of hard use on a 130. Very impressive tire!

Comments On Aug 11, 2012:This rear tire did great in the last "mud bog" harescramble.It clawed and tractor pulled through some nasty stuff that I didn't think I would be able to make.I race B class on a 01Ktm300Exc in harescrambles.This tire did great. I would rate it an 8 out of 10 and compare it to an S-12 which I would rate a 9 out of 10. Note:I didn't try the front.

On Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at 9 am, the Rocky Mountain Horse Association will be holding their 24th annual International Horse Show at the Kentucky Horse Park, Covered Arena.
The RMHA's 24th International Horse Show will run until September 15th and culminate with Grand Championship classes in the Saturday evening performance.
Admission to this event will be included with park admission. Several local vendors will be set up around the show ring concourse daily. Events for the whole family are planned throughout the week.
Please join us anytime during the week of September 11-15th for family fun and entertainment at the Kentucky Horse Park to celebrate the Rocky Mountain Horse Association's International Horse Show. More information available on RMHA website: www.rmhorse.com.
In 1986, the Rocky Mountain Horse Association was founded as a non-profit organization in Kentucky. The Association is dedicated to the preservation, promotion and breeding of the Rocky Mountain Horse. Even though the Rocky Mountain Horse as a recognized breed is relatively new, the horses go back more than 70 years to a small farm owned by Sam Tuttle, in Estill County Kentucky. Mr. Tuttle developed these horses which had a natural single foot (4-beat gait) for riding at the Natural Bridge State Park. The name "Rocky Mountain Horse" is derived from the fact that Mr. Tuttle's line of horse is descendant from a stallion originally from the Rocky Mountains. This stallion bred to Kentucky mares and was the beginnings of the Rocky Mountain Horse. There are over 19,000 registered Rocky Mountain Horses in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and Australia, and are also found in several countries throughout Europe.

Looking for a bomb-proof trail horse who has done it all? Meet Sir Maybelline, a former show hunter, racehorse, and currently a solid trail horse who is sound and sweet as the day is long.
He acts much younger than his age, and the person who adopts him will be getting the equine equivalent of a fine Kentucky Bourbon: warm, smooth, pleasant, and aged to perfection.
Seriously, don't let his age (21) deter you. Sir Maybelline is a 16.1-hand Thoroughbred gelding who has a great personality, is still in the prime of his life, and has a lot to give!
Prize money will reach $3,000 for the Thoroughbred Horse Show Association's Fall Show on October 6-7 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. Entries are being accepted for the show, TBHS's second event following its successful inaugural Spring Show on April 14 in which more than 100 Thoroughbreds of all ages competed in 39 classes using their registered names with The Jockey Club.
TBHS was founded in 2011 by a group of Central Kentuckians interested in creating opportunities to showcase the talent and competitive spirit of off-the-track Thoroughbreds. Its shows are affiliated with The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (TIP), which encourages the retraining of Thoroughbreds into other disciplines upon the completion of their careers in racing or breeding.
TBHS' Fall Show builds on the success of the Spring Show in April and will be a fundraiser for Boys & Girls Haven in Louisville (boyshaven.org). The nonprofit organization works to teach young people to become productive and healthy members of the community. Its equine program enables young people to work with Thoroughbreds.
"We are really excited about supporting Boys & Girls Haven," said TBHS Executive Director Jan Roehl. "They have a very successful equine program, and our show will give the kids job training and a chance to work with horses while they help us with the many tasks required to conduct the show."
The Fall Show will offer enhanced prize money, thanks to The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (TIP). Classes include a Hunter Classic and a Jumper Classic, both of which will award $500 to the winner. TBHS also is hosting a $1,000 Dressage Challenge and a $500 Gamblers Choice, and is encouraging people and organizations to become sponsors of these events.
"In the Gamblers Choice class, jumps have a point value based on difficulty and riders have a time limit in which to complete the course," Roehl said. "Riders choose which jumps to attempt and the order in which to take them. The rider with the highest number of points wins. Spectators will find the class fun to watch."

Meet Unravelled, a 6-year-old, 15.2-hand Thoroughbred mare who is available for adoption from the Kentucky Equine Humane Center.
She was surrendered to the Kentucky Equine Humane Center last year, in foal, as a starvation case, but she and the foal are doing great now.
Unravelled is progressing well in the Thoroughbred retraining program at the center. She will need an experienced rider, but best all all, she should be sound for any discipline.
Find out why Thoroughbreds make great horses for whatever you ask of them! With their keen intelligence and excellent work ethic, they are outstanding prospects for just about anything.
For more information on Unravelled or any of the other adoptable horses at the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, contact them at

Patrick Smithwick, author of "Racing My Father" will be here to sign his new book,
"Flying Change: A year of racing and family and steeplechasing"
Saturday, July 21, 11am to 1pm
Kentucky Horse Park Gift Shop
Don't miss this chance to meet the author and pick up his book, which is described as, "This memoir of dueling ambitions is the tale of a man who decides in mid-life to call off all restraints, silence all naysayers, put his mind and body and courage to the test, and do what in his case-he has been away from the world of racing for twenty-five years-is the impossible: within a nine-month period get a horse to ride in the most difficult steeplechase race in the world, and then, ride that horse as if his life depends on it, which, literally, it does."
See you here!
Meet Montana, a 12-year-old Appaloosa gelding, who is looking for a good home.
He is 14.3 hands, friendly, and gets along well with his pasture mates. He is easy to catch and has good ground manners. Montana has been ridden for pleasure and would be suitable for an advanced beginner to intermediate rider.
To see some of the other great horses who are available for adoption, go to www.KyEHC.org.
Meet the adoptable horse of the week, Port Allen.
He's an 8-year-old Thoroughbred gelding, 15.3-hands, who had a previous life as a show hunter. He is currently in the retraining program at the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, where he's doing very well (the photo above was taken before he came to the Humane Center).
Port Allen went to first horse show in April and did very well in that new situation. He is personable and has good ground manners. He does have an old suspensory ligament injury but he is fully recovered. He would probably be best suited for flatwork. In his retraining program it appears that he might make a nice dressage horse. He has requested an advanced beginner or intermediate rider.
At 8 years of age, he is just starting to come into his best years, so he'd love to have a new home with a wonderful owner.
Meet the adoptable horse of the week: Sophie.
She's a Mustang cross who is sound, loyal as a Labrador, and needs a new home.
Sophie is going well at walk, trot and canter in the training program at the Kentucky Equine Humane Center. She is brave and confident, a real people horse, loves barn cats and gets along well in any situation.
She's about 14.3-hands and only 4-years-old.

medieval combat in a game
Posted 27 December 2012 - 03:17 AM
thats all well and good, but i cant think how possibly i could control the combat with keyboard and mouse? i was thinking maybe you swish the sword with the mouse and position parries, but then how do you mouse look?
mouse is definitely for mouselook not for anything else it seems, so im not sure what to do, id like to implement something like wrestling too, where you knock your opponent to the ground by hitting him so hard getting him off balance.
something interesting, anyway, the best game i can think of is mount & blade, but ive never played it so i dont know how it works.
any ideas?
Posted 27 December 2012 - 03:48 AM

Posted 27 December 2012 - 08:40 AM
Gestures with the mouse equate to attacks.
Straight up, thrust at heart.
Straight down, downward hack at head.
Left then up, parry sword and thrust at heart.
You could have the same gesture trigger different attacks based on weapons carried.
Right mouse button different attack than left mouse button.
If you try the Left then up attack while the enemies sword is above his head, the parry fails and you are open to attack.
Posted 27 December 2012 - 11:23 AM
Anyway, some references.
- "Die by the Sword": I bought it on GOG.com for less than 10$, you should be able to find a demo on the web. It tried to accurately replicate the way knights wielded swords. Quite fun, the controls were very complex, though. Oh, by the way: the sword is your only weapon.
- "Severance - Blade of Darkness": a sort of 3D Gauntlet - four characters (Barbarian, Knight, Amazon, Dwarf), each profitable only with a specific class of weapon (axes for the barbarian, hammers for the dwarfs, etc). Very fun, and the camera is quite good - when the combat starts you lock the closest enemy, and with TAB you switch to the others.
- "Witchaven": an old game powered by Duke3D BUILD engine, now abandonware - you can download it at http://www.abandonia.../Witchaven.html . It requires DOSBox. Well, it's not an overwork, yet it's fun. An interesting fact: melee weapons suffer damage.
I think that the first-person pov is the most comfortable, while not as spectacular as 3rd person for combos, special moves, etc.
Also, take a look at this article about how to wield a melee weapon: http://www.gamasutra...word_Combat.php

Posted 28 December 2012 - 04:42 AM
but im planning on a little more "liquid" animation for the combat (more algorythmic than keyframed), and true collision detection between the blades and shields for block detection.
Alot like what stainless said, you swish the mouse and it grants the sword a tangent to swing apon, the faster you move the mouse the more momentum gets put behind the blade (so a second attack might take a little longer for high momentum swings, cause theres more pull back). left and right mouse buttons will be for parrying and maybe some thrust or something, i dont know, but mouse buttons would help mode the kind of swing you want.
firesides idea is cool, but im actually planning on doing the collision detection properly between the weapons, if they happen to be in the same place at the same time, then a deflection happens, otherwise it doesnt, so you have to try and get your sword in the way for a parry.
this teamed up with a good mobility method, like crouching and jumping and dodging, could make for a fun sword duel. ill get back to you guys, at the moment the engine has just started, ive just got some models spawning into space. this could be a fun project.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 08:44 AM
- "Enclave" by Starbreeze (yes, the Riddick's worshippers): after this, Starbreeze worked on two "Knight of the Temple", or something, games.
- "Into the Shadows": just a video on YouTube, yet it's very inspiring - it was made in 1995 by the swedish Triton demo group, before they founded Starbreeze - at the time it was a miracle, some people even thought Magnus Hogdal was better than Carmack!
- "Blood Omen 2" - far from being an overwork, I think it had, hovewer, a very competent combat system. Weapons get ruined - the problem is that you can carry only one weapon, so it's very frustrating when, in the middle of hard encounter, you find yourself back to your basic claws!
I was thinking that maybe you should take a turn-based approach - when players are fighting restless, they tend to pay very little attention to even the most accurate fighting system: they basically push buttons like in cabinets. This, in my opinion, is a weakness of Severance: the combos were good and all, but I have to say that I used them more against "those-candles-on-that-table" (just to see the then amazing lighting effects) than in the real encounters. What ruins even the best combos&moves system, IMHO, are shortcuts: if players can choose between massive button pushing and the "educated" way... well, being (usually) lazy, they'll end up pushing buttons all the time. On the other hand, making the mastering of the moves mandatory will probably frustrate average players, cutting your user base.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 09:47 AM
A fight seldom lasts more than a second or two.
Have a look at combat in various era's.
Shield wall is the key element. Attackers charge against a mass of men in close formation. Bounce off. Get stabbed.
Shield wall again, this time with the biggest baddest men having long handled axes which they keep moving at all times
Dark ages
Armour means that weapons have to change. Hammers etc used to bring down the knights, then they are mobbed and battered to death.
So the sort of sword combat you are thinking about didn't exist in the real world, except in certain circumstances.
Gladiators, duels, etc.
Now using this kind of control system for gladiators ........ hmmm
Posted 28 December 2012 - 04:12 PM
heres the current bone design (im just hardcoding it in right now)
here it is just the legs, body,hair and weapon bones done, yet to add scabbards/wings.
notice there is tendon bones, i think i use these to make him stand up and restrict elbow/knee movement.
im leaving bones for ball on chains and whips those two green connections that connect the legs and the head are the "balance" keeping tendons, they help push him straight when hes standing. im thinking about putting in foot marks where he places his feet and keep it all alogythmic, ever heard of someone doing it like that before?
i reckon the nunchuckers would be the best weapon like this.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 09:27 PM
Posted 29 December 2012 - 12:57 PM
you can grab points and almost make him walk.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 01:35 PM
For more information about fighting in medieval age see some videos from Gladiatores for example:
Basically sword was most widely used weapon, because you can either cut, stab or punch (with its head - dunno how its called in english, in my language it's "hlavice", "jablko" or "ohryzek" )
I will elaborate further, though I got to invite my girlfriend to pizza right now, we've been together for 3 years.
I'll also try to get some videos (one or two) online from our group and post them here, gimme few hours or so.
EDIT: Found some lower quality video of our group at our pages - http://www.serm-znojmo.cz/?main_page=5, also don't forget to visit gallery for some inspiration. Also for some photo reference (larger versions on click), feel free to look through pages for example at http://www.serm-znojmo.cz/?main_page=1 - they're whole just in our language (so I rather put directly link here, because navigation can be a bit harder if you don't know the language).
I can also try to dig some materials from our game and its development. We had some pretty nice references for swordfighting and few concepts for combat system. Basically now we simplified it a bit so it's actually a lot more intuitive to control and a lot more action. First concept was boring even in concept. And we expect also more major changes after we put together some version that could testers play through.

Posted 30 December 2012 - 09:33 AM
Though my point is still valid, all of those clips show that start of combat->death is less than two seconds.
No swinging from chandeliers, no dancing with hat stands, just attack counter die
Posted 30 December 2012 - 12:07 PM
In real fight you actually have counter for every action, but it's just a matter of seconds until first or second actor makes a mistake and loses (mostly dies, or is mortally wounded). Basically there is no spinning, no "kicking to ass" or such. It's not said that fight can't take half minute or so, but only in 1-to-1 man combat (because in real battle you mostly recieve "mace-over-back" from totally different person than you think you're fighting with), but even this is uncommon (both fighters would have to be very skilled) - because strikes are trying to create mortal wound or cause death (thats why you always aim for either head, neck, or heart during attack).
I'll post some basic guards + information for fight later, and if I'll find some camera I might pick you some reference too. First of all I need to get some food though.

Ive still got no more work to show, Ive gotten stumped on walking (let alone fighting) but its getting there. First attempts he looked like a zombie, any one have any hints for algorythmic walking?
Im using a softbody cage for the character, when it spins it looks really good cause it looks like the arms and legs weigh a bit and lag behind.
Posted 31 December 2012 - 02:44 PM
To the basic stances (photos aren't mine in the end, i searched them through google and credits go to ChivlaryNow.net), basically you have 4 classic stances in german school. Note that in every stance your sword's tip or apple is aiming to opponents head (with exception of often more defensive lower guards). Note that these guards are count for fighting with medieval sword, not light rapiers or cords - they have a bit different style of combat.
Vom tag:
This is standard offensive stance (left is over vom tag over shoulder, right is vom tag over head), it gives you advantage in strength, because you can perform any oberhau - attack from above, basically mostly you try to perform successful zornhau - targeting opponents head. As for defence, this stance is still good, because you're able to defend against any oberhau, mittlehau (with slight move or dodge), and unterhau with dodge (same goes for stabbing and slicing off).
Low stance, defensive, performing unterhau for attack (strike from below), or its immitation followed by deadly strike. This stance is quick responsive stance and probably one of the best defensive stances.
High offensive position, used for stabbing followed by deadly strike, or oberhau, mittlehau. You can also try to immitate unterhau followed by deadly strike, although thats not so common.
One of the most basic stances - gives good balance between defense (you're holding opponent back, because he could get stabbed), and offense - you can stab, or perform any hau - oberhau, mittlehau or unterhau.
These are 4 basic stances for german school, there are others - zornhut, wechsel, nebenhut, eisenport, schlussel, einhorn uns schrankhut, and transitional stances that are rarely used as guard (e.g. unless you know what you're doing, don't do them) hengetort, kron, langort. You can find photos of them over the google again - but all these are *advanced*, basic 4 are in my opinion core for your fighting system.
Now how to defend. Basically the best way to defence is (apart of offence which i'll describe lower) to avoid - e.g. perform a dodge. Move left, right, back ... NEVER jump, jumping makes your stance less stable and it's NEVER used. Your stance must be very stable and it's basically 1st thing to learn (and it can take months to move and stand correctly). Basically this goes for any martial art (the most close is probably judo in case of stance).
If you move for defense it's quite common to perform offense, by avoiding enemy weapon, he gives you an opening, a chance to strike and win. You always strike in such way, that he either has to defend (e.g. won't be able to stab you before you hit him), or has to move. E.g. so he won't be able to perform counterattack.
Then you have shielding. You always use shielding for counterattack, otherwise it's pointless (this counts for whole swordfighting - you don't do anything unless you can gain something from it). Basically when you shield yourself with sword, you try to disable your opponents sword and try to hit him. Like in the videos i posted, after shielding, there is ALWAYS an offensive reaction mostly winning the match (he won't be able to react in such little amount of time).
So basically 99% of games have combat done wrong.
If you don't know how to speed up application, go "roarrrrrr!", hit the compiler with the club and use -O3 :D

There is a software gap between the hardware potential and the performance that can be attained using today's software parallel program development tools. The tools need manual intervention by the programmer to parallelize the code. Programming a parallel computer requires closely studying the target algorithm or application, more so than in the traditional sequential programming we have all learned. The programmer must be aware of the communication and data dependencies of the algorithm or application. This book provides the techniques to explore the possible ways to program a parallel...

- Vertebra (back bones)—may be deformed
Spina Bifida |
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
- Occulta—small defect in one or more backbones, least severe form, usually no complications
- Meningocele—membranes poke through an open part of the spine and can form a cysts
Myelomeningocele—most severe form of spina bifida, membranes poke through and contain nerve roots or spinal cord and can lead to
- Paralysis and incontinence of bowel and bladder may occur—frequently not cured by surgery
- Hydrocephalus—a build up of fluids in the brain that increase pressure on the brain
Risk Factors
- Low maternal blood level of folic acid at the time of conception
- Family history of spina bifida
- A mother who had a previous pregnancy with a neural tube defect
- Mother's race: Hispanic or Caucasian of European origin
- Certain medications given during pregnancy
- Gender: Girls are more likely to have spina bifida.
- Sac filled with fluid leading out from the baby's spine
- Spinal cord and tissue may also protrude through the back
- Bowel and bladder problems
- Frequent urinary tract and other infections
- Learning disabilities
- Accumulation of fluid in the brain
- Scoliosis —abnormal curve to spine
Inability to walk
- Muscle weakness and paralysis of the lower extremities
- Hip dislocation
- Foot and ankle deformities
- Many children with myelomeningocele are wheelchair bound
Prenatal Testing
- Amniocentesis —a sample of the fluid surrounding the baby is taken to measure for factors indicating problems of the spine
- Ultrasound —a test that uses sound waves to look at the fetal spine
After Birth Testing
Physical Therapy
Ongoing Treatment
If you plan to have a baby, take a
folic acid
supplement with at least 400 micrograms every. The supplements must begin before the baby is conceived. They should also be continued throughout the pregnancy. A vitamin supplement containing folate may be the most reliable method of getting folate but you can get it from food as well.
Foods with significant quantities of folate
- Leafy green vegetables
- Orange juice
- Beans
- White flour products and cereals fortified with folate
- Plan your pregnancy. Talk to your doctor if you have any of the risk factors listed above. Ask your doctor if any medicines that you take increase the risk of having a baby with spina bifida.
