There is no state like Alaska. Recreation possibilities are endless although lifestyle and recreation vary drastically depending on which area you go. Your standards for scenery and air/water quality go way way up once you've lived in Alaska because Alaskans enjoy the best of these. But, distance from family and the need to fly nearly anytime one wants to leave the state cause lots of expense and time away from work. If you visit, plan on spending at least a month to take it all in.

Alaska Wonderful Place to Live if You Can Handle W - 3/2/2013 I have lived in the Anchorage area for almost 30 years and can honestly say that it has a lot to offer, and for quality of life, is hard to beat. Low population, low crime, good job opportunities and schools, reasonable real estate, and stunning landscapes all add up for making it a great place to live -with one (big) caveat - you have to be be able to cope with the long winter - approximately October through April, with very dark days from November to February. If you can deal with that, it can be a truly wonderful place to live (and I was raised in Hawaii!!) [read more...]

Living in Alaska - 7/9/2012 Alaska is an interesting place to live. The mountains are beautiful and there are a lot of outdoor activities for everyone. The constant daylight in the summer has been fun and quite enjoyable, however, the winters can be a bit long. The Anchorage/ Mat-Su area has faily mild climates due to ocean, and this year was our record snowfall. The cost of living has been quite a shock from the Midwest, but employment wages are comparable. Overall, it has been a good move, but can feel a bit isolating from family.[read more...]
Best Place for Summer and Fishing - 6/17/2012 Would like to purchase house or cabin in Alaska but want to be within 15 minutes of restaraunts and fairly close to great fishing. Any ideas?

determination of climate - 9/8/2009 This is my first year living in Alaska. My husband wanted to try out a new state for a year or two. The wildlife and landscape is like no other state here in Alaska. I appreciate the state's beauty, however people who live here don't mind the cold and snow. No kidding! If you don't mind bitter cold, you may want to think about moving to Alaska because it has a lot to offer, especially if you're the adventurous type. However, refrain from moving here if you thrive on warmth. I am a person who loves the warm sun, and with that...we'll be moving this June to somewhere a bit warmer. :)[read more...]

Current Trends in Alaska's Economy Nov 2006 - 11/19/2006 We are expecting to have the gas line, be approved, rather, just who is going to come up with the "plan", so that all parties can get a piece of the action. Like the pipeline, it will bring much money into the economy,right now there is not enough steel available in the world, to even construct the gasline. It will be a 5-to 7 year job when it actually starts- the project, will bring in jobs, people and money into everywhere. My experience is that there is alot of money in this state. For instance the Native $ which, since I am not Native is abundant, the oil revenues must give them their portion. The state spends way too much $, which is a given , so they can cont. to get it,but My son went to the only private prep school in Anchorage for a few years, was from K-12, but just recently went from K-8,( not enough older children, but the other grades are fully booked) They have a yearly auction, to support some of their expenses, or to give grants to kids whose parents cannot afford to pay to go there, but want to,etc. The auction in 2004, collected more money than any private high school in all the 50 states. The $ is here, has been here, and with the gas line going through, say in the next 1-2 years- there will only be more.You will not be able to tell by what the clothes people wear because most Alaskans do not like to dress up, you alot of times will never know if your standing next to a millionaire in line somewhere , we al lok the same. The wives maybe give it away a little more with their jewerly. Lots of Drs.up here the reimbursement rate is very good for their procedures and I am waiting, esp in Anchorage, how many more can come in a still make money, but so far it has not been an issue. Compared to WA, they get triple at least what they would make workig there. But you have to like the state and many wives do not , shopping is not the best stores, and it gets cold here and you have to enjoy this kind of life. It is not for everyone and I am glad about that, its getting too crowded.The People are friendly and when you break down on the side of the road , you do not worry (usually), if the person who does stop to help you, and they will help too, no worries of robbery, hijacking, abuse. At least in my experience and I ran away to come here 13 years ago from the East Coast and I am not leaving. i tried to , something brings you back. You get hooked.[read more...]
Heavens Creation - 6/10/2006 Alaska is awesome !!!!!!!!!! I am a native Floridian and have lived here in the seventies and since 1991, there are no simple words to explain Alaska !!!! The Climate has changed since the seventies, it is warmer and more humid.....For people coming from the lower 48 this sounds good, however it also has meant that we are losing our Glaciers !!!!! People think that tropical flowers are the brightest, but they cannot compare to the colors up here.....Plant whatever and the color will be Brighter, Truer and Deeper !!!! Also, Biggger!!!!! The Rivers look like a swimming pool that's lit at night !!! Even when you're standing in them !!!! The Air is Clean!!!! We have most of the same shopping as in the lower 48...we've had malls since the 1960's......We have Wal-Mart, Sears, Penny's, etc....Resturantes abound...chain and local !!! The Postal System is the same as in the lower 48, which catalog people don't understand, therefore they charge extra !!!! Which is WRONG !!! Also, our Food shopping is on par with the lower 48, we no longer get food by barge only in the summer...WE have a Hugh Fed Ex terminal here as well as UPS !!! Also, we no longer travel by Dog Sled, except for fun...we have roads that are paved and kept in good condition !!!! As far as Cabin Fever....well, you can get cabin fever in Key West if you don't like the heat or sun....get out and enjoy life !!!! Also, the DARK everyone thinks about is not dark.....in the south when the sun goes down, it's dark !!!! Because of our location on the globe we never get dark...our winter is like dusk with reflection on the snow as an addition, but even if we have no snow, it's still not dark !!! I tried to explain Alaska to my Daughter-in-law, but when she got up, she said "God Paints Pretty Pictures" !!!!! I can't say it any better...and I've never seen a photograph that could do it Justice !!!!!!!![read more...]

Title says it all. I just got to route 6 and I looked at the movepool for deerling. Plus it looks cool. My cottonee is good but it seems a little soft (in terms of hp). I was wondering if Sawsbuck would be better than a cottonguard Whimsicott.
It depends on usage: If your only going to use either of them for in-game battles then I would recommend Sawsbuck for his decent attack and speed and also his okay defenses. Plus if your concerned about HP then you'll be happy to know that Sawsbuck's HP is slightly better then Whimsicott's. However, if you're going to use either of them for competitive battles then I would recommend Whimsicott. Although Sawsbuck would be great in a Sunny Day team with his Chlorophyll Ability, Whimsicott has a unique trait with Prankster. With Prankster as its ability that means non-damaging moves go first (such as Leech Seed, Cotton Guard, etc...) and would be perfect for competitive battles!
Here are some movesets I would use:
Sawsbuck (In-Game) Sap Sipper MegaHorn Jump Kick Horn Leech Double-Edge(with horn leech you can regain some health)
Whimsicott (Competitive) Prankster @leftovers Grass Whistle/Encore Cotton Guard Leech Seed/Toxic U-Turn/Giga Drain This is a bit tricky. You could use Grass Whistle on the first turn and put the opposing pokemon to sleep then proceed to leech seed and cotton guard. To keep with the regaining of health theme you could opt for Giga Drain which would gain a STAB and would use his okay sp. atk or you could use U-turn which would be useful to get out of a situation like facing a special sweeper (because Whimsicott's sp. def is lacking) while still causing damage. The only down side is Whimsicott's atk stat is also lacking and he wouldn't gain a STAB bonus.
Personally I like them both.
I will go with Cottonee. Evolve it at lv.36 so it can learn both Hurricane and Solarbeam which are great moves. Teach it Rain Dance(to boost up power of Hurricane) and Sunny Day(to prevent waste of time charging up Solarbeam). However, use them during different times as Sunny Day reduces the power of Hurricane and Rain Dance increases the charging time of Solarbeam.
Well,whismicott has pimp speed and nice sp.atk but defense is weak I think(don't know about whismicott or sawsbuck),but sawsbuck is pretty good also considering wide movepool.i'd personally say sawsbuck,but its your opinion.

Comments about MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR Women's Winter Wander Pants:
Pants looks so great, i ordered two pairs - one size 6 and one 8 sure one would fit (I am 5'" and 122 lbs). I have Mountain Hardware capri's in a size 8 that fit perfectly, and shorts in a size 6 that are a little tight. Both the 6 and the 8 were too big, and the waist rode too high. I wish that sizes and fit would be more consistent in a single brand.

GALLIPOLIS — Charges have been filed against four individuals who were held at gunpoint following the alleged theft of farm equipment from a residence located in Walnut Township on Sunday.
Travis Foster, 23, McArthur, and Jonathan A. Lucas, III, 28, Nelsonville, have both been charged with misdemeanor theft, while suspects, Tiffany B. Peoples, 24, Hamden, Ohio, and Mary S. Kiser, 20, Athens, have been charged with misdemeanor trespassing as a result of an incident.
Deputies with the Gallia County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to the scene on Rosa Road in Walnut Township at approximately 4 p.m. on Sunday in reference to a possible shooting and break-in.
According to the police report, upon arrival, the responding officer found several people surrounding three adults that were being held at gunpoint.
The suspects had, reportedly, attempted to steal a farm disc from the victim.
After advising everyone to disperse and securing the scene, the deputy placed the suspects in his cruiser for safe keeping.
The officer was then advised by the victims and several witnesses that a fourth male suspect had fled the scene in a green, Ford Explorer towing a black trailer.
A family member of the victim advised that, prior to the arrival of the deputy, he arrived on scene and saw the suspects at the residence attempting to steal a piece of farm equipment, and, after obtaining a gun, he shot into the air.
While this was occurring, two other acquaintances of the victim arrived on scene and attempted to block the suspect vehicle with their own vehicle to prevent the suspects from fleeing.
One of the suspects, however, reportedly entered the Ford Explorer and fled the scene, nearly striking two of the individuals who had arrived at the victim's residence to assist, according to statements.
A second family member told officers that he then chased the suspect vehicle to Miller Road where the suspect, later identified as Travis Foster, jumped out of the vehicle and fled into the woods.
Foster was later located by a sheriff's office canine unit hiding in a nearby field.
All four suspects were later transported to the Gallia County Sheriff's Office.
The suspect vehicle was towed from the scene and the farm disc was later located on Flagsprings Road where it was retrieved by family members. It had reportedly bounced off the trailer while the suspect was fleeing the scene.
According to the report, the vehicle also had damage to one of its front headlights and the left rear tire was also gone — possibly shot out. The suspects later told deputies that the vehicle had been shot at several times by an individual with a gun while Foster fled the scene.
After being interviewed, the suspects reportedly told deputies that they had traveled to the residence to pick up the plow and scrap it for money.
The two male suspects were later jailed and the two female suspects were released.
Following consultation with the Gallia County Prosecutor's Office, the case was referred to the Gallipolis City Solicitor's Office and misdemeanor charges were filed against the suspects.
Initial hearings in the cases against the suspects will be held at a later date in the Gallipolis Municipal Court.

Tying the BI tool to the user
June 29, 2009 by btaub
Filed under Business Intelligence, Data Warehousing, Latest
Yes, a 747 and a Cessna can both be used to transport you from point A to point B but, isn't the 747 a bit of overkill for the pilot who just wants to fly himself to the next airport for a $100 hamburger? Well, in Business Intelligence (BI), many organizations buy a fleet of 747s when all they need is a few Cessnas – they buy tools that are powerful but overkill for most of their users. A great example of this is when a company buys 7,000 licenses of an expensive, powerful OLAP tool, intending to outfit their entire staff with OLAP. Is there a need for advanced online analytical processing (OLAP) in the company? Almost certainly. Are there 7,000 users who are going to slice and dice through their data? Almost certainly not.
You can think about BI needs as a pyramid, small at the top and large at the bottom. At the very top are a few analysts who use data mining tools to identify unexpected relationships and build predictive models by looking at huge data sets (Can you remember when the data mining companies were looking to put mining on every desktop? Mining on every desktop? Really?).
Just below the data miners is another, slightly larger, layer of folks who need to slice and dice through their data – the OLAP users. These folks are looking for things like what products are selling well, in what regions and by which salespeople.
Next is the bulk of the pyramid – the folks in the field who are just trying to get their jobs done. The folks who need BI to execute specific business processes: to see which customers receivables are over 30 days old; to see where maintenance crews have been assigned for the week; to do the actual day-to-day work of the company. Do these folks need to slice and dice through huge quantities of data? No. These folks generally need a set of predefined reports which have a few flexible parameters for users to complete to specify exactly what data to report on.
While the major BI tool vendors sell their tools as allowing users to create their own reports and to slice and dice their data, the bulk of the pyramid never uses this capability. Instead, when these tools are released to users they are released with libraries of pre-configured reports. Most users never do more than use these reports or, occasionally, request new ones.
Once you understand this reality, you start to look at the concept of BI tool standards quite differently. More on this in a future post.
Think you're overbuying in BI? Drop me a line.

This product is nice in that it provides moisture and is not that greasy. I think it works well. it is still a bit more than I would want to go to sleep in. it has no spf so it strictly is a night cream. I talso includes teh dep wrinkle treatment which is nice and works well and the age repair lotion for day time use with spf. The day time lotion is a bit thick and greasy. It does have an spf which is good. It is easy to find in major stores but a bit pricey. it is much cheaper to buy the 3 as a set though.

The Department of Health and Human Services administers the huge and fast-growing Medicare and Medicaid programs. These programs fuel rising health costs, distort health markets, and are plagued by waste and fraud. The department also runs many other expensive subsidy programs, including Head Start, TANF, and LIHEAP. Growth in HHS spending is creating a federal financial crisis, and the 2010 health care law sadly makes the situation worse.
The department will spend $872 billion in 2012, or about $7,400 for every U.S. household. It employs 70,000 workers.
Spending Cuts Summary
- Here are proposed reforms to save $81 billion annually in the short-run and prevent federal health costs from consuming a growing share of the economy in the long-run.
Downsize This!
- Medicare Reforms. Medicare should be transformed into a system based on vouchers, individual savings, and competitive insurance markets.
- Medicaid Reforms. Federal spending on low-income health care should be converted to block grants for the states.
- TANF and Welfare Spending. Welfare reforms in 1996 created Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, but this sort of aid should be provided by private charities.
- Head Start and Other Subsidies. HHS funds a vast array of other subsidy programs, many of which are wasteful and ineffective.
- 2010 Health Care Legislation. The law expanded Medicaid, added new taxes and subsidies, created new bureaucracies, and did little to reduce cost growth in health care.
Timeline of Government Growth
- See this timeline for key events in the department's growth.
Further Reading
- Here are background studies that examine the department's activities.

Don't Buy It, Until We Try It: Slushy Magic | Video
Amy Fox | 1/18/2013They advertise Slushy Magic as a do it yourself slushy maker. All you have to do is add the magic freezer cubes, pour your favorite drink, and shake, shake, shake. But, does this product actually work? Well, "Don`t Buy It, Until We Try It."
"We just throw in the syrup and the water. And, then, the next day, it's just slushy," said Logan Shipley, slushy expert.
When Shipley is not at school, he`s making slushies as his part-time job. But, he`s always trying to come up with new ways to make them at home. So, we decided to put Slushy Magic to the test. We pulled it out of the box, and it was time to put the magic cubes in the freezer.
Shipley said, "It`s kind of weird, it`s plastic."
Once the cubes were frozen, it was time to try out the Slushy Magic. So, we put the magic freezer cubes in the shaker, along with 10 ounces of orange juice, tightened the lid and it was ready to shake.
"It looks foamy," said Shipley. "I can`t tell if it`s slushified or not."
You`ll notice a lot of foam on top, but it still looks a lot like orange juice, not a slush.
Shipley said, "I think I`m displeased. It looks like orange juice."
Next, on the list: cola. We once again repeated the same steps. But, this time, the pop started leaking out of the container.
"I think it`s blowing up," said Shipley.
While the orange juice and cola didn't work, we wanted to try out chocolate milk. We put the magic freezer cubes inside the shaker and added milk. And, when we were done shaking....
Shipley said, "It`s just chocolate milk."
So, was there any magic in the shaker or the freezer cubes?
"I actually thought it kind of might work. But, I was disappointed," said Shipley.
While Slushy Magic was easy to use, it didn`t turn the drinks into slushies. Instead, it only made them foamy. Some of the liquid even came out from the little hole on top of the lid. Not exactly mess-free like they advertise on TV.
So, this week`s "Don`t Buy It, Until We Try It" earns a thumbs down.

Police Union Sues Leggett Over Question B
FOP Lodge 35 sues County Executive Isiah Leggett over the county government's efforts to convince voters to reign in the police union's bargaining powers.
Despite Montgomery County's passage of a measure to reign in the police union's powers, the controversy has found a new battleground—the courts. A 2011 law, which Tuesday's referendum upheld, strips the county police union of its 30-year-old power to negotiate any action by police leadership that has an "effect on employees." That has been applied to include officer reassignments, disability guidelines, distributing equipment and how to implement a computerized system for writing reports. FOP Lodge 35 successfully petitioned to put the law to referendum, where it appeared on Election Day as Question B. After a contentious campaign that grew especially heated in the weeks before Nov. 6, voters affirmed Question B by a nearly 17 percent …

Unlike the county council's campaign which was made entirely of misinformation and stories taken out of context to alter the interpretation. If the county felt they had such a strong case, why would they need to lie and alter stories? …   more ›

A motorist navigates snow-blown South Harbor Drive along the entrance to Grand Haven State Park on Lake Michigan on Tuesday morning. A late winter storm is dumping snow on Michigan�s Upper Peninsula, with up to two feet forecast in some places. (Ken Stevens / Associated Press)
A storm has dumped up to about 2 feet of snow on parts of northern Michigan, with blowing and drifting snow creating hazardous conditions.
The National Weather Service says Wednesday morning that the heaviest snowfall has been in the northern and western Upper Peninsula, with higher-elevation areas near Houghton and Ironwood getting about 2 feet since snowfall started on Monday.
By Thursday morning, an additional 5 to 10 inches is forecast near Munising, with smaller accumulations in other parts of the Upper Peninsula.
Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula also got hit by snow, with up to 15 inches reported as of Wednesday morning in an area south of Traverse City. By the time the storm wraps up Thursday, the weather service says the area could get another 3 to 6 inches.
In Metro Detroit, Wednesday's weather is expected to be a repeat of Tuesday, mostly cloudy, a high of 30 degrees and a wind-chill in the teens, said Mike Pigott, AccuWeather.com senior meteorologist. And don't expect a big break in temperatures for a couple of weeks.
Pigott said Metro Detroiters can expect a couple of snow showers Wednesday, but no accumulation.
Westland resident Paul Stevens is sharing the misery of many.
"It's horrible," he said. "Last winter was a lot milder."
Those who have endured this week's temperatures haven't been surprised by the un-spring-like weather.
"This is Michigan and anything can happen," said Charles Moore of Detroit. "I live with it. I deal with it."
Spring officially started at 7:02 a.m. Wednesday, bringing with it hopes of flowers breaking through moist soil, a lawn matted down by snow turning green and barren tree branches sprouting leaves.
Detroiter Chandace Cooper has remained optimistic.
"This is winter's last hoorah," Cooper said. "By Sunday it will be 45 degrees and after that it will get warmer. That's my prediction."
Sadly, Mother Nature isn't swayed by Cooper's positive outlook.
"It looks like a sustained period of time for colder than average weather in the Great Lakes," Pigott said. "It may take some time, early April, for the cold-streak to break."
According to the National Weather Service, the normal high for this time of year is about 50 degrees.
"Because the cold weather will be in place, there will be the potential for snow now through early April," Pigott said.
So far this year, the Detroit area has received 47.2 inches of snow, 8.5 inches above the average of 38.7 inches.
The Associated Press contributed.

How To Watch (Chart) A Game BEFORE Criticizing Your Coach
Fans love to criticize coaches, but they usually do it for the wrong reasons. To say, "He should've played a zone" after a losing game is not intelligent criticism. Of course it is true that, after a loss, any number of things may have altered the game's outcome, but in most cases there are valid reasons for one…

Barbecue Geography
The word barbecue conjures up as many definitions (and spelling variations) as there are people who make and eat it. To some it is an outdoor party; to others, the food cooked on the grill or the actual piece of equipment used to cook food. Whatever definition first comes to mind, the end result is usually a smoky ...

Produced: 2002 to present
History: No significant changes.
General Information:
Weight: ¾ lb. per pair
Height: 4-¼ in. from base of Landing Pad 6 to top of crossbar.
Capacity: Varies by application, check Fit List.
Product #8000226
What else is needed to complete a basic rack set up? You will need two pairs of Landing Pads, a set of Control Towers and one pair of crossbars. Check the fit list to see if there is a Control Tower option for your vehicle. |
Will Landing Pads work with Locking RailRiders, or other Yakima Towers? Landing Pads will integrate with Control Towers only. |
How can I be sure the system is installed correctly? There is no substitute for following all instructions. You can download instructions on the main product page. |
Can I use Landing Pads on my vehicle? Look in the Fit List to see what is recommended for your vehicle. Landing Pad 6 is for custom installation in areas where we don't have a specific recommendation, such as on camper shells (caps, toppers, whatever they call them in your neighborhood). It's your judgment call to decide if they are appropriate for your purpose. We will likely have ways to carry your gear that doesn't require a permanent installation. If you have questions about which application best suits your needs, check with your cap dealer or manufacturer, a professional installer, or call us at 888/925-4621 for more information. |
What is the weight limit for Landing Pad 6? A weight limit can only be established through testing. It varies by the strength of the shell, quality of the installation, and too many other factors to guess. This is another area where your judgment will be called upon. |
How many bolts are used/holes are drilled? There are two holes per Landing Pad 6. |
What type of waterproofing is used? Silicone sealant around the bolt holes should do the trick. |
What tools/supplies will I need to install Landing Pad 6? You will need: tape measure, #2 pencil, drill, 1/8" drill bit, 1/4" drill bit, punch, and don't forget eye protection! |
You can order replacement parts from your local Yakima dealer, or directly from us by calling our Consumer Sales Representatives at 888.925.4621.

While still a teenager, my youngest daughter was determined to take on the role of used car salesperson when we sold our old Chevy Tahoe. Her approach was impeccable: Before letting the prospective buyer so much as touch the car, she gave him a tour of its defects, the dent in the rear left fender, the slight tear in the passenger seat, the fussy rear window control. Only then did she lift the hood to reveal the pristine engine bay. She knew the old rule: Don't let the customer discover the defects.
Pointing out the limitations of your product is a sign of strength, not weakness. I can't fathom why Apple execs keep ignoring this simple prescription for a healthy relationship with their customers. Instead, we get tiresome boasting: …Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world…we [make] the best products on earth. This self-promotion violates another rule: Don't go around telling everyone how good you are in the, uhm…kitchen; let those who have experienced your cookmanship do the bragging for you.
The ridicule that Apple has suffered following the introduction of the Maps application in iOS 6 is largely self-inflicted. The demo was flawless, 2D and 3D maps, turn-by-turn navigation, spectacular flyovers…but not a word from the stage about the app's limitations, no self-deprecating wink, no admission that iOS Maps is an infant that needs to learn to crawl before walking, running, and ultimately lapping the frontrunner, Google Maps. Instead, we're told that Apple's Maps may be "the most beautiful, powerful mapping service ever."
After the polished demo, the released product gets a good drubbing: the Falkland Islands are stripped of roads and towns, bridges and façades are bizarrely rendered, an imaginary airport is discovered in a field near Dublin.
Pageview-driven commenters do the expected. After having slammed the "boring" iPhone 5, they reversed course when preorders exceed previous records, and now they reverse course again when Maps shows a few warts.
Even Joe Nocera, an illustrious NYT writer, joins the chorus with a piece titled Has Apple Peaked? Note the question mark, a tired churnalistic device, the author hedging his bet in case the peak is higher still, lost in the clouds. The piece is worth reading for its clichés, hyperbole, and statements of the obvious: "unmitigated disaster", "the canary in the coal mine", and "Jobs isn't there anymore", tropes that appear in many Maps reviews.
(The implication that Jobs would have squelched Maps is misguided. I greatly miss Dear Leader but my admiration for his unsurpassed successes doesn't obscure my recollection of his mistakes. The Cube, antennagate, Exchange For The Rest of Us [a.k.a MobileMe], the capricious skeuomorphic shelves and leather stitches… Both Siri — still far from reliable — and Maps were decisions Jobs made or endorsed.)
The hue and cry moved me to give iOS 6 Maps a try. Mercifully, my iPad updated by itself (or very nearly so) while I was busy untangling family affairs in Palma de Mallorca. A break in the action, I opened the Maps app and found old searches already in memory. The area around my Palma hotel was clean and detailed:
Similarly for my old Paris haunts:
The directions for my trip from the D10 Conference to my home in Palo Alto were accurate, and offered a choice of routes:
Yes, there are flaws. Deep inside rural France, iOS Maps is clearly lacking. Here's Apple's impression of the countryside:
…and Google's:
Still, the problems didn't seem that bad. Of course, the old YMMV saying applies: Your experience might be much worse than mine.
Re-reading Joe Nocera's piece, I get the impression that he hasn't actually tried Maps himself. Nor does he point out that you can still use Google Maps on an iPhone or iPad:
The process is dead-simple: Add maps.google.com as a Web App on your Home Screen and voilà, Google Maps without waiting for Google to come up with a native iOS app, or for Apple to approve it. Or you can try other mapping apps such as Navigon. Actually, I'm surprised to see so few people rejoice at the prospect of a challenger to Google's de facto maps monopoly.
Not all bloggers have fallen for the "disaster" hysteria. In this Counternotions blog post,"Kontra", who is also a learned and sardonic Twitterer, sees a measure of common sense and strategy on Apple's part:
Q: Then why did Apple kick Google Maps off the iOS platform? Wouldn't Apple have been better off offering Google Maps even while it was building its own map app? Shouldn't Apple have waited?
A: Waited for what? For Google to strengthen its chokehold on a key iOS service? Apple has recognized the significance of mobile mapping and acquired several mapping companies, IP assets and talent in the last few years. Mapping is indeed one of the hardest of mobile services, involving physical terrestrial and aerial surveying, data acquisition, correction, tile making and layer upon layer of contextual info married to underlying data, all optimized to serve often under trying network conditions. Unfortunately, like dialect recognition or speech synthesis (think Siri), mapping is one of those technologies that can't be fully incubated in a lab for a few years and unleashed on several hundred million users in more than a 100 countries in a "mature" state. Thousands of reports from individuals around the world, for example, have helped Google correct countless mapping failures over the last half decade. Without this public exposure and help in the field, a mobile mapping solution like Apple's stands no chance.
And he makes a swipe at the handwringers:
Q: Does Apple have nothing but contempt for its users?
A: Yes, Apple's evil. When Apple barred Flash from iOS, Flash was the best and only way to play .swf files. Apple's video alternative, H.264, wasn't nearly as widely used. Thus Apple's solution was "inferior" and appeared to be against its own users' interests. Sheer corporate greed! Trillion words have been written about just how misguided Apple was in denying its users the glory of Flash on iOS. Well, Flash is now dead on mobile. And yet the Earth's obliquity of the ecliptic is still about 23.4°. We seemed to have survived that one.
For Apple, Maps is a strategic move. The Cupertino company doesn't want to depend on a competitor for something as important as maps. The road (pardon the pun) will be long and tortuous, and it's unfortunate that Apple has made the chase that much harder by failing to modulate its self-praise. but think of the number of times the company has been told You Have No Right To Do This…think smartphones, stores, processors, refusing to depend on Adobe's Flash…
(As I finished writing this note, I found out Philip Ellmer-DeWitt also takes issue with Joe Nocera's position and bromides in his Apple 2.0 post. And Brian Hall, in his trademark colorful style, also strongly disagrees with the NYT writer.)
Let's just hope a fully mature Maps won't take as long as it took to transform MobileMe into iCloud.

Are you ready?
For beheadings?
On your TV?
Cover the children's eyes!
Actually, get ready for some in-depth, smart reporting provided by an international cadre of journalists.
On Thursday, Pan-Arab news channel Al-Jazeera announced it is buying left-leaning U.S. cable channel Current TV.
If Al-Jazeera America is anything like Al-Jazeera English - the network's international English-language channel - then I can't wait.
Al-Jazeera English has distinguished itself with broad and aggressive coverage of international news, from the Arab Spring to civil war in Africa to Mexican drug cartels.
Al-Jazeera English even upstaged U.S. networks a couple of years ago with a thorough expose of the fight in Congress over medical and financial benefits for 9/11 first responders.
Al-Jazeera English's reporting has won numerous journalism accolades, including an Alfred I. DuPont Award and George Polk Award. Consider some of the people who have worked at Al-Jazeera English, including renowned British journalist Sir David Frost.
I watch Al-Jazeera English online because I can't get it on my pay-TV service. Most Americans can't either because the channel has been blackballed by nationwide U.S. carriers.
It's no surprise that Time Warner Cable dropped Current TV right after the deal for its purchase by Al-Jazeera was reported.
Our country has had a contentious relationship with
Our CIA monitored Al-Jazeera's broadcasts in search of secret messages to al-Qaida operatives. (We found nothing.) Our military bombed Al-Jazeera's bureaus in Afghanistan and Iraq. (Accidents.) We sent one of their journalists to Guantanamo Bay for more than six years before releasing him without charges. (No explanation.)
Despite all this, some of our leaders have praised Al-Jazeera. For example, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the network is a good source of news, especially considering the less serious fixations of the American media.
Given the quality of this network's journalism, don't be surprised if Al-Jazeera America becomes a big part of our media landscape, perhaps surpassing the BBC and giving CNN a run for its money.
However, controversies and awards aside, it's unclear whether Al-Jazeera America will be able to keep our attention.
After all, the network won't be waving an American flag in the background or reporting about the "War on Christmas."
If you're looking for angry rants from pundits, prepare to be disappointed.
Don't expect a simulated sex act on New Year's Eve like what recently occurred between comedian Kathy Griffin and CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.
And there will be little or - gasp - no coverage of the Kardashian family's colorful exploits.
Come to think of it, maybe Al-Jazeera isn't cut out for the American market.

continuous jumping problem
Posted 07 March 2012 - 05:30 AM
maybe suggest some codes, I tried the InAir variable but i think ive done it wrong
Posted 07 March 2012 - 05:35 AM
This is one of the most basic of problems so if you do it just like that, it should work no trouble.
Posted 07 March 2012 - 06:02 AM
Posted 07 March 2012 - 07:02 AM
Looked at the game, in the up event:i have done that i think :/... which is why i added my game because i actually need my jumping checked out, i have variables and stuff set up but still i can jump as much as i wish
if InAir = false
if collision_free...
do this...
do that...
else set InAir = true. Three Problems:
1. You want InAir to be true when Mario is in the air, right? What you are currently doing is checking if he is in the air, if so doing whatever is in the block, otherwise setting it to true. Instead, you want InAir to be set to true if InAir is false, so it should go in the block.
2. the if collision_free bit only applies to the next instruction, so if you put this
if a = 2
do this
do that
GM reads it like this
if a = 2
do this
then do that (whether a = 2 or not)
so you should put a block surrounding everything you want to happen.
3. Dont use . in the name of something. This leads to problems if you want to use code. Use _ instead ie change the name of s.mario to s_mario
So this is what it should look like in the end:
if InAir = false
if collision_free...
(do everything to make him jump)
The { means start block and } means end block.
Posted 07 March 2012 - 07:11 AM
check empty:
x = 0
y = -1
(checks to see if there is nothing above you)
under the current check empty
this should fix your problem it makes sure that you are on the ground and that there is nothing above you so that you can jump
if you would like you could do this with GML coding
//add this to your step event { { if place_free(x, y + 1) { gravity = 0.5; } else { gravity = 0; } } { if vspeed > 12 { vspeed = 12; } } } //add this to you up key event { if place_free(x,y - 1) && not place_free(x,y + 1) { vspeed = -12; } }
Edited by Emthril, 07 March 2012 - 07:59 AM.
Posted 07 March 2012 - 10:47 AM
Posted 07 March 2012 - 03:33 PM
All you need to do is: Under create:
ImJumping = false;
Under pressing the up key:
if ImJumping = false{ // then you would just convert the d&d you're using into code (there is a whole thread of the d&d/code equivalents) ImJumping = true;}
Under collision with a floor object:
ImJumping = false;
There I have basically done all the work for you. Now what you should do is add in your coding from the d&d actions you need, and look over the coding to try to understand WHY it works
Posted 07 March 2012 - 07:01 PM
the first part i has shown was D&D the next part was only if you were interestedhmm... i read both of what you guys said and im getting kind of confused :/ id prefer to use D&D if it helped, coding will just complicate it further for me at the moment
Posted 08 March 2012 - 04:23 AM

As delegates to the California Republican Party convention voted Sunday for their future leaders, the party's outgoing leadership denounced recent "racist" comments against one of the candidates.
Harmeet Dhillon, a lawyer from San Francisco, was elected to become the party's statewide vice chairman.
In a recent posting on Facebook, Dhillon was accused of sympathizing with terrorists by Vera Eyzendooren, president of the San Bernardino County Federation of Republican Women.
"I was told by one of Harmeet's friends that because of her religion, her loyalty is to the Muslim religion," wrote Eyzendooren. "So she will defend a Muslim beheading two men without hesitation ... she is not Republican."
Dhillon is a Sikh, who as a child moved to the United States from India.
"In any group of 1,600 delegates, you're going to have a few crazy people and bigots," Dhillon told KCRA 3.
Eyzendooren's comments were denounced in a joint statement from party chairman Tom Del Beccaro, Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff and Assembly GOP leader Connie Conway: "Blatant racism has no place in the party of Lincoln. We strongly denounce this hateful speech in this and any other venue."
Contacted by the San Francisco Chronicle, Eyzendooren said her comments had been taken out of context but declined to answer a reporter's questions.
Mark Standriff, the party spokesman, told KCRA 3 it would be up to the California Federation of Republican Women to decide if Eyzendooren should be punished.
The head of the federation said it would meet with Eyzendooren before making any decision.
