The odd winter weather seems to have carried over into spring.
MIDDLEBURY — Addison County Sheriff Jim Coons, who died on Monday evening at the age of 59, was recalled by fellow law enforcement officials as a gregarious, savvy and cooperative public servant who dramatically transformed his department during his three decades in office.
"Jim Coons was the iconic face of law enforcement in Addison County and a bridge between the past and present," said Middlebury Police Chief Tom Hanley.
"He will be a tough act to follow."
NEW HAVEN — A Weybridge man is proposing to establish the state's first mobile slaughterhouse for large animals, a business he said will bring services directly to producers and help fill a sizable void of meat processing facilities in Vermont.
FERRISBURGH — A part of the nation's history — or at least a fanciful version of a local legend — will come to life at Ferrisburgh Central School on Friday morning.
At 10:30 a.m., the 17 members of kindergarten teacher Josh Brooks' class will present their version of how American Commodore Thomas MacDonough outfoxed the British at the mouth of Otter Creek.
In the pupils' short play, MacDonough receives help from, among others, a fictional farm boy, George Washington, and Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys.
BRISTOL — The Vermont Public Service Board has given the green light to a major methane-to-electricity facility at one of the county's largest dairy farms.
It was this past Jan. 6 that Four Hills Farm requested a certificate of public good from the Public Service Board to install and operate a 525kW methane electrical generating facility at its 722 Burpee Road headquarters in Bristol. Four Hills has 2,500 head of cattle, around 1,250 of which are currently being milked.

Those and other impressive bullet points on June Sargent's résumé helped her stand out among 16 candidates and three finalists for the job, said VUES board chairwoman Tara Brooks.
VERMONT — The crew at Dragonheart Vermont — a dragon boat team comprised of breast cancer survivors — has paddled together for almost a decade through serious health conditions and grueling global competitions.

Press suckered by Chick-fil-A fairytale
Mainstream media trumpet nonstory cooked up by 'gay' advocates
Mainstream media organizations have headlined over the last two days Chick-fil-A's "change" they claim means the company suddenly is promising not to discriminate against homosexuals – and that it would stop giving money to those organizations that promote traditional marriage.
"Chick-fil-A says it will stop funding antigay groups" proclaimed the Detroit Free Press.
But it appears the facts are that the company's anti-discrimination policy remains just as it was months ago – before the controversy over owner Dan Cathy's Christian beliefs erupted – and its donations appear to have had no new directive applied.
Even Joe Moreno, a Chicago alderman securely in the pro-homosexual camp, confirmed to WND that the company's giving should not even have been an issue.
Responding to a question about his review of Chick-fil-A form 990 for 2011, he confirmed that there were no donations "of concern."
He was asked, "Does the alderman reviewing the 990 for 2011 and finding no donations of concern mean that Chick-fil-A was already meeting a demand before it was even a demand since at least 2010."
"I believe that is the case," a statement from Moreno's office confirmed to WND.
The controversy erupted over the summer, when company CEO Dan Cathy told Baptist Press he was "guilty as charged" for supporting the "biblical definition of the family unit."
Homosexual lobbyists and activists pounced, promoting a boycott and obtaining statements from city officials such as Chicago's Moreno that they would crack down on the company over the CEO's beliefs.
Marriage supporters responded to a campaign by former presidential candidate Gov. Mike Huckabee for a "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" by lining up by the thousands at stories. Additionally, more than 6.3 million people have "liked" Chick-fil-A on Facebook.
Now the headlines have developed that the company "Ceases Anti-gay Donations."
Moreno jumped before the cameras to say he has "finalized" negotiations with Chick-fil-A with a promise that the company no longer will give money to anti-"gay" organizations.
He said in an interview with Current.com that a statement had been obtained that the company no longer would donate to pro-marriage organizations, and "I also recently reviewed their 990 statement, which is a statement that shows all of their givings, they must submit publicly in the spring, and as of this date they haven't given a dollar to those groups."
But the most recent 990 form would cover 2011, meaning there was no "objectionable" giving, according to Moreno, as long back as 21 months – predating any of the flap over Cathy's statements.
The company also had posted when the controversy erupted a statement on its website announcing it would not discriminate on the basis of gender orientation. The months-old statement, which at that time was represented as stating an existing policy, said, "The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect – regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender."
Moreno, however, told Cenk Uygur on "The Young Turks" just this week that, "This is the first time in the company's history that they've done this [stated a non-discrimination policy]. I think it's because of your actions, the community's actions and partly because of my actions in not supporting the restaurant… That they've changed their tune, it's a big step for the community."
It was a statement from The Civil Rights Agenda that prompted the recent headlines. It stated that Moreno "finalized" negotiations with the company with a promise to no longer give money to "anti-gay" organizations.
The statement said of the Cathy family's foundation, the WinShape Foundation, "is now taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas."
But it was in July when the company stated, "Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena."
The Civil Rights Agenda didn't name groups, but others did. One was the National Organization for Marriage, which responded immediately, "Despite recent news articles claiming Chick-fil-A's WinShape Foundation donated money to our organization – this is false. The National Organization for Marriage has never received funding from them. We support Chick-fil-A's philosophy that every person is treated with 'honor, dignity and respect – regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender;' and we will continue to endorse 'Chick-fil-A Wednesdays' calling upon all supporters of marriage, free speech and religious liberty to thank Chick-fil-A's president, Dan Cathy, for taking a courageous stand to speak out in defense of marriage and his freedom to speak."
The Family Research Council also was mentioned, and told WND that it has gotten nothing since a $1,000 donation in 2010.
Focus on the Family was also mentioned, but declined WND's request for comment.
Even Anthony Martinez, TCRA executive director, said in an interview with Windy City Media Group that the language Chick-Fil-A uses in its non-discrimination policy hasn't changed.
The site reported Martinez said, "With regard to policy, there really isn't that much of a change."
Moreno disagreed. He issued a statement Wednesday that "the company today as put into writing, for the first time, that its employees are to 'treat every person with honor, dignity and respect – regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender…"
But he admitted that the issue of corporate donations was a nonstarter from the beginning.
"I corroborated what they told me back in January; that donations to anti-gay groups … have ceased."
After months of declining to respond to developments, Chick-fil-A confirmed the situation with a statement issued late Thursday.
"For many months now, Chick-fil-A's corporate giving has been mischaracterized. And while our sincere intent has been to remain out of this political and social debate, events from Chicago this week have once again resulted in questions around our giving," the company said.
"A part of our corporate commitment is to be responsible stewards of all that God has entrusted to us. Because of this commitment, Chick-fil-A's giving heritage is focused on programs that educate youth, strengthen families and enrich marriages, and support communities. We will continue to focus our giving in those areas. Our intent is not to support political or social agendas.
"There are many diverse viewpoints and opinions among those associated with Chick-fil-A, including our independent Owner/Operators and their team members, Chick-fil-A corporate staff, suppliers and business partners. Chick-fil-A and the Cathy family, who own the company, value and respect all of these differences. If someone in Chick-fil-A offers a personal viewpoint, they do not presume to speak for everyone."
The statement reaffirmed the company's "corporate purpose" is to "glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us and to have a positive influence on all who come into contact with Chick-fil-A."
"Over the past three years alone, in cities and towns across American, Chick-fil-A has given more than $68 million in contributions to over 700 different educational and charitable organizations and has provided millions of dollars in food donations."
That giving focuses on scholarships for employees, donations to higher education, youth education programs, food for various children's programs, disaster relief and military appreciation outreaches.
It also donates to "development youth and family/marriage enrichment programs and supporting … communities" including band uniforms, the Salvation Army, Jerusalem House, foster homes, marriage retreats, day camps and others.
"By making financial investments in these educational and charitable organizations, we aspire to have a positive impact in our community," the company said.
WND earlier reported when a similar scenario arose involving the Boy Scouts.
In what had the appearance of a coordinated media effort to pressure the Boy Scouts of America, a private organization, to change its membership policy and allow participation by open or avowed homosexuals, a slew of reports were generated announcing the group is considering that idea.
But it wasn't actually so.
The organization posted an online announcement that "Contrary to media reports, the Boy Scouts of America has no plans to change its membership policy. The introduction of a resolution does not indicate the organization is 'reviewing' a policy or signal a change in direction."
What happened was that pro-homosexual activists from the online petition organization change.org issued a press release claiming that unnamed "sources have confirmed Boy Scouts of America officials are considering a new policy for 2013 that would allow local charter organizations to decide whether or not to accept gay scouts and leaders."
Scout officials confirmed that just because someone wants change, or proposes a change, doesn't mean it will happen.

A partnership that benefits
The only surgeon at this hospital, Dr. Alphonsus is thrilled about this partnership with Philips, especially considering how there are only 34 radiologists in all of Uganda. "Ultrasound is a key diagnostic modality in such a rural setting. Now in my practice I've seen many, many patients who have [benefited greatly] because of having an ultrasound done."

You can run redhat or any other distribution DISKLESS if you have enough system memory. Or you can install just a stripped /, and NFS mount just about everything (e.g. /usr) on top of it. This lets you boot more rapidly, and permits you to use your limited disk resources for swap for your limited memory resources. In the "old days" memory and disk were VERY expensive and pretty much everybody ran LAN workstations this way -- small local installation, mounting /usr, /home, or fully diskless workstations (e.g Sun SLC or ELC). It isn't horribly difficult -- it just arguably isn't as easy or transparent to manage as RPM installs right onto a big local disk. Some people would argue anyway (and might even be right:-) that going "fully diskless" can be even EASIER to manage and scales BETTER than any diskfull install. Once you account for the learning curve and capital investment of time setting everything up, I'd guess that all the efficient methodologies are roughtly comparable and all scale exceedingly well. rgb > > Thanks again > > Dan > At 12:38 09/03/03 -0800, Auji Atwal wrote: > > >I've built a Beowulf with 486 machines !

Ted Kaczynski — the domestic terrorist known as the Unabomber, who is serving life in prison for sending deadly mail bombs — will not be able to attend his 50th class reunion at Harvard College. But he did contribute a bizarre entry to the alumni report for the class of 1962.
While many of his classmates sent in lengthy updates on their lives for the 2½-inch-thick "red book," the entry for Theodore John Kaczynski contains only nine lines.
The listing says his occupation is "prisoner," and his home address is "No. 04475-046, US Penitentiary — Max, P.O. Box 8500, Florence, CO 8126-8500."
Under the awards section, the listing says, "Eight life sentences, issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, 1998."
He lists one publication under his name, "Technological Slavery," published by Feral House in 2010. In addition, he indicates that he lived in Eliot House, a student residence at Harvard.
Kaczynski's name was also included in a state-by-state listing of the alumni at the back of the book.
The widow of one of Kaczynski's victims said she was "disappointed in Harvard."
Susan Mosser — widow of Thomas Mosser, a 50-year-old advertising executive who was killed in December 1994 when a package exploded in the kitchen of their New Jersey home — said: "Kaczynski is a con artist. He's a serial killer; he's a murderer. . . . Everything is a game for him to push people's buttons."
She said she thinks that if Harvard did not publish Kaczynski's information, he would have tried to sue the school for excluding it.
A Harvard Alumni Association spokesman confirmed that Kaczynski submitted the entry and said it was considered to be within the guidelines set for the book, which is titled, "Harvard and Radcliffe Classes of 1962 — Fiftieth Anniversary Report."
The alumni association later issued an apology in a statement. "While all members of the class who submit entries are included, we regret publishing Kaczynski's references to his convictions and apologize for any distress that it may have caused others," the statement said.
"I don't fault them on that," said one of Kaczynski's classmates, John Higginson.
He said the entries are written by the alumni, and rather than making Harvard look bad, the entry makes Kaczynski look bad for writing it.
Kaczynski evaded the FBI for nearly 20 years while killing three people and injuring 23 others with bombs sent through the US mail.
Last year, a federal judge in California ordered that auction proceeds of about $225,000 from the sale of writings and papers seized from Kaczynski's cabin be disbursed to Mosser and three other relatives of his victims, court records show.
A former lawyer for Kaczynski, Erin Jolene Radekin of Sacramento, represented him during the restitution phase of his case and said by phone Wednesday that she had not been in contact with him in some time.
Court records suggest that in recent years Kaczynski has been aware of his possible reentry into the headlines. In a letter to Radekin in 2010, Kaczynski appeared concerned that buyers of his papers would publish them without his permission.
"Ask the court to order the government to make clear to all potential purchasers of my papers that they will be acquiring the papers only as physical property and that they will acquire no literary rights in the papers," he wrote to Radekin, according to a court filing.Alli Knothe can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gordon and Thomas earn local PFWA awards
BEREA, Ohio — Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon and OL Joe Thomas each have earned awards from the local chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) for the 2013 season. Gordon was a unanimous selection for the PFWA Player of the Year and Thomas was named the PFWA Dino Lucarelli 'Good Guy Award' winner. The pair will be honored at the 34th annual Akron Browns Backers banquet in May at the Tangier Restaurant.
During a season in which he has worked with three starting quarterbacks, Gordon leads the NFL in receiving yards (1,564) and yards per catch (19.6), while playing in just 13 games. He is also first in the NFL with an average of 120.3 receiving yards per game and fourth in the league in yards from scrimmage with 1,652 (1,564 receiving and 88 rushing). Gordon's 1,564 receiving yards are a franchise record. His seven 100-yard games are also club a record and are tied for most in the NFL this season. He is leading the club with 80 receptions, tied for the sixth-most in a season by a Brown. Gordon became the only player in NFL history to top 200 receiving yards in back-to-back games. He totaled 774 receiving yards in four games (Weeks 11-14) and 649 in three (Weeks 12-14). Both figures are NFL records, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
The 'Good Guy Award' is given annually to a player for his cooperation with the media and for the way the player carries himself in the community and with his teammates. Thomas was one of 11 players nominated by the local media for the award and the first player to ever receive the award twice. Voted offensive team captain by his teammates, Thomas has started all 111 career games at tackle and has not missed an offensive snap since being selected by the Browns with the third overall pick in the 2007 draft. His stretch of 6,859 consecutive offensive snaps is the longest active streak in the league. In 2012, he was one of three finalists for the NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Thomas has been selected to the Pro Bowl in all six of his NFL seasons and trails only Jim Brown (9) and Lou Groza (9) for the most by a Browns player.

text: New York artist Kevin Cyr finds beauty in derelict cars and unkempt landscapes. He has always been interested in painting vehicles and scenes that have defined the evolution of the American landscape. A lot of his work has to do with the commemoration of commercial and recreational vehicles barely the signs of over-usage. He enjoys finding the character of these old cars and giving them a portrait-like importance by removing them from their everyday context. I love the way he discusses certain issues with the present lifestyle we lead with a subtle touch of humor.

Mary Fran Carroll had dreams of creating her own city.
But when the Chicago banker came to Southwest Florida to sketch out plans for 30,000 acres of pastureland, she was told it couldn't be done in such a remote area.
In the years that followed, Carroll helped orchestrate development that saw those fields transformed with more than 8,500 homes, 4 million square feet of commercial space and retail shops east of Interstate 75 that would become Lakewood Ranch.
The woman whose vision is today one of the best-known master-planned communities in the U.S. died at her Sarasota home Monday. She was 92.
Carroll's legacy is as vast as the former cattle ranch she helped mold.
She rose up the ranks of corporate banking and development in Florida at a time when those industries were predominately run by men. But Carroll's bigger impact, colleagues and friends say, was found in her love for the community.
As a sign of mutual affection, today a Braden River bridge, a Palmer Ranch nursing center and a Lakewood Ranch road are named after her.
"She was a terrific leader," said Roger Postlethwaite, who worked with Carroll at Schroeder-Manatee Ranch Inc., the master developer of Lakewood Ranch, in the development's infancy.
"She had a great vision and was instrumental in developing that vision for Lakewood Ranch. Of course, her vision turned out to be exactly right."
Carroll was born an only child in Chicago in January 1922.
After graduating from Northwestern's prestigious Kellogg School of Management with a master's degree, she travelled throughout Europe in the wake of World War II before beginning a career in business.
She joined Northern Trust Co.'s Family Business division in 1967 and oversaw client assets that ranged from private businesses to oil investments and real estate.
When she retired in 1984, she was a vice president and a division chief.
Those who worked with Carroll closely say she was remarkably in tune to her surroundings, with a hands-off approach to management.
When she needed to be tough, she was hard as nails. But she also had compassion for people that few in the workplace could rival.
"What she accomplished and ahead of her time -- she really was a pioneer," said Philip Delaney, managing director and president for Northern Trust in Sarasota.
While at Northern Trust, in 1976, Carroll was asked to represent the Uihlein family -- Milwaukee beer heirs and a major Northern Trust client -- on the SMR board of directors.
Four years later, she was named chairman of the family business, and later SMR's chief executive as the company transitioned from ranching to development.
"She came in as a city person with a dress, so she went out and got herself a pair of boots to mix in with the farmers. Then she would put the dress back on to go meet with the chamber," said John Clarke, a long-time friend of Carroll's who succeeded her as SMR's CEO. "She had that ability to get along with people from all walks of life."
Friends say Carroll possessed a unique ability to secure unanimous votes among board members -- even if family members were bickering at the time.
Clarke also remembers one meeting with county officials, as SMR was attempting to build commercial space south of University Parkway.
The county had decided, via purple dots on a map, where commercial development could occur. Lakewood Ranch had no such dot.
But when Carroll showed up to a meeting in a purple dress, it only took her a few minutes to change their minds.
By 1995, Lakewood Ranch would grow to include 15,000 residents.
"Lakewood Ranch is her heritage, her legacy," said Lynn Robbins, a Coldwell Banker Realtor and a long-time friend of Carroll's.
Carroll also was instrumental in bringing polo fields, the tony Out of Door Academy private school and a hospital to the master-planned community.
After Carroll retired from SMR in 1997, she helped develop The Glenridge on Palmer Ranch, a major senior living development. She lived there and served as the first chairman of the board.
She also served on the boards of the Sarasota Community Foundation, Argus Foundation, Lighthouse for the Blind and Manatee Memorial Hospital.
"Her reputation was top drawer," said Tom Danahy, president of Babcock Ranch, who knew Carroll through SMR. "She was held in a high regard by everyone who knew her."
Carroll is survived by her numerous friends and her cat, Zoro.
A mass has been scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at St. Thomas More Catholic Church, in Sarasota. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sarasota Community Foundation.

Cost effective? It's feasible, of course. There is a market -- in fact such clusters exist and can be cost effective to the users and profitable to the owners. However, the trick isn't in the building of the cluster, it is in the usual: a) Marketing it -- doesn't do you any good to build it unless you have a clear idea where you want to sell its services and are sure that you don't face entrenched competition in that marketplace. Don't underestimate the difficulty or importance of sales. The streets are currently littered with the bodies of .com's that thought the "if we build it, they will come" business model held water. b) In order to market, you'd better come up with a very specific application niche that you want to push. You're a lot better off starting out with focus in just one reasonably vertical market than trying to get a little business here and there. Don't count on advertising "generic compute cycles for sale" and expect a customer to come to you with an application. Remember, compute cycles are dirt cheap; that's not really what you are selling. You're selling savings on overall infrastructure, the ability to enter a fixed cost in a budget estimate, you're selling consultative expertise. In once sense this is what we do now. However, we've been very hesitant about branching out to make this a business focus. rgb > Sam Harper > Tibernia > mudguy at speedfactory.net > 770-401-5518 > -- Robert G.

text: I want to hook some Native Api functions from ntdll.dll, more specifically NtCreateFile and NtWriteFile. However, according to MS Documentation, the NT functions are subject to change from one release of Windows to the next, and possibly even between service packs for each release. This includes function signatures and even deletion of the functions. So, with this in mind, is it reliable to hook these functions as their signature may change? Does madCodeHook provide workaround for this? If no, is there some other workaround?

Facebook announced today a number of notable upgrades to their video portion of the social network. Following behind YouTube's recent upgrades to their display, Facebook announced today that they'll be supporting high resolution – up to 720p – to go along with higher quality audio codec support. Perhaps even more important, though, is the addition of remote embedding capability.
Why blog this? Facebook has to date been a very closed network, but with new additions of Facebook Connect, and the ability to embed higher quality video, the massive social network becomes far more practical to be used as a cross platform tool for projects involving social activity. Facebook can now provide the social hub, but through allowing content hosted on their platform to also exist on other sites (authentication, and video), its reach will grow exponentially. From a user perspective, this is fantastic, allowing people to put their content wherever they wish, but have a central point of control.

Obama's Second Inauguration Smaller, Yet Still Grand
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's second inauguration is going to be smaller than his historic first swearing-in, but still full of glamour and pomp.
Estimates of turnout are 600,000 to 800,000, compared with a record 1.8 million in 2009.
Yet recent developments have shown enthusiasm is high.
A limited offering of $60 inaugural ball tickets for the public sold out quickly, and there's an impressive list of celebrities, including Beyonce, Katy Perry and Usher, set to perform.
Obama has cut the number of balls from 10 last time to just two this year.
But The Associated Press has learned that organizers are expecting 35,000 people to attend the larger ball, and 4,000 people are expected to attend a ball in honor of U.S. troops — double the size of two years ago.

Ask not what your backers can do for you
We've gotten a lot of emails saying we should chase more pledges by telling what we will do if you give us this much money or that much money. Having just tipped over to 400% (are you serious?) we'd rather tell you what we've been hard at work to give you, based on your donations.
MUSIC - Austin Wintory
We've teamed up with Austin Wintory, composer of the critically acclaimed 2012 game "Journey", who will bring his incredible talents to The Banner Saga. Yes, for real. Austin won the Hollywood Music Award for "Best New Film Composer" and winner of "Best Original Score - Video Game". If you haven't heard his work before I recommend watching this video as soon as you can.
Guess what? If you've already pledged $25 or more you're getting the soundtrack for free.
SOUND - Kpow Audio
We'll be working closely with the amazing sound studio Kpow Audio to give you the best possible sound quality and ambience. You may know them from their work as the entire sound team on the blockbuster hit L.A. Noire.
To accomplish the huge number of unique frame-by-frame animations we'll be producing for The Banner Saga, we've enlisted the help of Powerhouse Animation. Powerhouse is made up of animator veterans who have been creating top tier work for games including Epic Mickey, DC Universe and Starhawk.
While they're experts at a whole range of animation styles they're just as excited as we are to produce animation in the classical, traditional style of Sleeping Beauty; one frame at a time. This is a labor of love for both of us!
Pledge $800 or more:
Immortalize something meaningful to you in The Banner Saga. Send us a photo of your own heirloom, memento or just something you'd like to show your friends and we'll turn it into a relic of value and power. We'll work with you to come up with a unique name and description that could include anything from a mysterious inscription to giving off a certain aura. You'll personalize it and make a coveted piece of gameplay by choosing from a list of rarities and in-game bonuses it provides. Doesn't look very viking-themed you say? That's ok, the marketplaces trade in items pillaged from all over the world. This new prize includes all the other prizes below it!
NEW PLATFORMS - iPad and LINUX
Oh boy, it's finally official. We've heard your massive outpouring of support and will officially be porting to the iPad and Linux. Let's be up front here: the Kickstarter campaign is officially for PC and Mac, and we can't change that now. However, we can now promise that your donations will be used to port the finished game to these new platforms within a reasonable timeframe. We're committed to it.
And that doesn't mean we're done porting. Depending on what amount we end with other platforms are absolutely still on the table.
Somehow, production continues to happen!
- We've done the concept work for each of the major characters in our first release, some of which you can see in the above piece of concept art. This is the sort of production piece you'll see in the collector's edition art book. We'll be talking more about the history of these races soon!
- Now that design is done we'll be spending the majority of next week filming character animations and getting them ready to be animated into the game.
- We continue to refine our many interface elements and adjust numbers in combat for our working prototype.
- Now that we've gotten the green light on working with all these incredible artists we're setting up the framework to integrate their work (no small endeavor) and let them work at their full potential!
As we've mentioned before, when we originally mapped out this game it was on a much more modest scale. Who could have known there would be this sort of demand? Thanks to you we're going to be able to bring this game to a level we never imagined and we think it's obvious at this point that without you it never would have happened. If you're excited about it just imagine how we feel. Thank you.
Alex, Arnie and John
Derek Swenson on
I'd also prefer to see the multiplayer cities before the console ports. Cities are intriguing. Ports? Meh. Kickstarter funds should be primarily used on content that ALL of us backers can use, not a port that most of us WON'T use. Especially when the port would generate revenue for itself through its own sales.
Phil Creswell on
It's awesome to see how well you guys are doing. I hope it only continues to explode. I just want to say that it's great to see you guys hitting the nail on the head for what I want from a game. Taking that more modern Bioware feel, mixing it with dark fantasy and tactical combat—man. I saw Final Fantasy Tactics and Shining Force mentioned: two of my favorite games ever. I'm *so* stoked.
Michael Matzat on
Do you guys also bring in some sort of small orchestra for the composer? At almost 500% there should be a good amount of money for the music of all three games, right?
Mykhailo Mykhno on
Can't wait for this game)...Great art, cool style and epic story)
James Lundberg on
You guys really should bring this game to the PS3 and Vita. You could set up cross play between the systems and have it where the saves from the PS3 version work on the Vita and the other way around.
Jan Schwindowski on
nerdgasm. 'nuff said.
Dennis Håkansson on
Can't wait to play this!
This user's account has been deleted.
Michael C. Stettes on
The "tactics" aspect intrigued me; the artwork and concept won me over. Congrats on reaching your goal and I can't wait to play!
Mark Winnington on
I'd love to see a bigger version of the concept art, and I join Mark Doherty in being interested in the physical version of the artbook (despite living in Europe).
I also wanted to say I appreciate your approach of telling us what you're going to use the extra funding for: it's great to see the talent you've managed to gather (Austin Wintory! WOW!!!). :D However, from what I've seen, some "reach goals" can be a great way to invite more support and inspire people further.
M D on
I will admit my jaw dropped when I saw the musician you'd picked up, but that artwork also made this a great update (is that a celtic centaur, or is it just the size that makes it look like half her face is painter blue?)
Speaking of art, the one tier pledge I still don't see (besides boxed copies, which is nixed in the FAQ) is one offering a physical copy of the artbook. I'm sure it'd cost a bit to print, but if you made the tier $125 or $150, you'd surely cover the extra costs while enticing a fair few people to upgrade - there's a lot of people who pledged to this kickstarter based on your art pretty much alone.
GPeterfreund on
Thanks so much for putting together a truly compelling game concept. I resisted pledging the $50 as long as I could-- just about 5 hours, I think.
Related note to your iPad comment in a previous update-- do you know what resolution range and aspect ratios you are planning on supporting? How would full-screen play work? I was fortunate enough to get a 2560 x 1440 27" monitor, and I wouldn't want it any ugly stretching of the beautiful art.
Thanks again!
John Ingalls on
Absolutely gorgeous! Wish you guys banners, and banners of success!
Luke Absolum Reid on
I would love to have banner saga on the Xbox live marketplace, what are the chances of that?
João Candeias on
This last update finally convinced me! Great project you guys are putting up. Since i'm a $50, i'm going to start thinking of my crest.. :)
Paul Chaplin (@CottlestonPie) on
@mvime: Generally speaking*, broadening an already-multi-platform project to further (indeed, similar) platforms is markedly less difficult than porting a codebase that makes extensive use of proprietary features (e.g. Microsoft's DirectX), and going from Mac OSX to Linux and from OSX to iOS should both be less challenging than going from Windows-only to any of them. :)
Given that the original project on Windows and OSX was budgeted at around $100k, and we're likely to end at $500k+, I think you can be sure we'll be getting more in *every* area -- as evidenced by these new music, sound, and animation updates. :D This game is going to be even better than I'd hoped.
*Admittedly, we all know what happens when you listen to generals. ;)
mvi on
I just upped my pledge because of the good news. However, personally I'd prefer you to spend the money on making a more complete and longer game than in porting the game to even more platforms. Also, I hope that all this porting won't impose any technical limitations to the original project, which was to work on OSX and Windows.
Hemisphere Ormsby on
woah, i just screamed like a girl..
Jacob Hurst on
So... beyond... excited! I believe the only accurate vocalization would be "Squeeeeeee"
Rhys Corlett on
The soundtrack might have been at that level already, but the news was that now the soundtrack is a Wintory soundtrack. The value of that soundtrack just went up.
Thomas Giles on
Sounds great, guys. This project just gets better and better! @u@
@theadam It's gonna be by Austin Wintory, who made the soundtrack to Journey, the music of which was simply beautiful. The pledge hasn't changed, but there was a whole lot more in this update than "You get the soundtrack for the $25 pledge". /sigh/
Linda Nguyen on
Great news! Simply WOW.
Harley Mills-Thom on
Upped my pledge to $25 due to the news of Austin Wintory's involvement. Amazing composer and I'll be looking forward to the soundtrack!
Céline .S. Sauvé on
We like more free stuff, thank you. :)
This thing is going to be EPIC!
SectionOne on
Oh Guys this are some realy great News! Can you say, at this Point, wich Languages you plan to support?
RussianNeuroMancer on
Awesom update! Particularly pleased to see Linux support and Powerhouse Animation partnership.
Omnifarious on
Yay, Linux support! And even more stuff that looks like it will make this game really fantastic. I love the art. I wish I could afford the $800 for the heirloom. I have a couple of things (I'd have to choose between them) I would really enjoy having immortalized this way. That's a great reward BTW.
Laura Kajpust on
Austin Wintory?! Eeeeeeeee! Now I'm even more excited!!
Interstate78 on
You guys are high class, the cream of the crop. This Kickstarter really is managed masterfully.
Michael Red Eagle Jonklaas on
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg you got the journey music guy omgomgomgomgomg
Michael Matzat on
Amazing news!
Michael Smith on
All of the updates are exciting, but for me the music choice is especially brilliant. I was already thrilled for the project; I just got that much more excited.
Roman Grazhdan on
Wow, thank _you_! That's just amazing, these items look really nice, and you'll support Linux...
I really shouldn't plan anything for the next year, I'll have to play the games. :)
Kevin Hart on
looks great so far! cant wait for the art book.
Doomedpaladin on
If that's the quality of your CONCEPT art, you should put together an art book for another reward tier after the $800 one sells out (as I'm sure it will).

Founder / Oges
I would like to thank iSEED for educating me in shaping up Oges's idea for investors which gave me confidence for investment raising. We managed to close investment from first presentation to final commitment in only 45 days. 'Oges' has generated plenty of interest, especially within the oil and gas community. Investors from 4 continents with diverse experience feel that this product is required in their area.We are fortunate to have raised 3 times our initial requirement increasing our proposed initial scope of work. During this round we have taken money only from people whom we felt would help growing the business or help in making a better product. iSEED program has given me tremendous confidence, as we now feel that we do have product with a sound business sense.
Jagrit Gupta
I have done my MBA from one of the top institutions of our country, so before joining iSEED I used to wonder what would be my learning at the end of the course. Fortunately, I learned what I always missed in my entrepreneur career of 8 years. I got a chance to interact with real successful entrepreneurs and got exposed to a lot of case studies pertaining to the Indian eco-space. I would say I found answers to so many questions which as an entrepreneur nobody was able to provide earlier.
Pranay Choudhry
"I had an extensive and comprehensive overview on what a young start-up should focus on to be investment-ready. There were several modules that we tend to overlook when preparing to raise funds and this course definitely helped in bringing those important points to light. I would recommend it for any entrepreneur who is new to this domain"
Arun Sharma
CEO & Director Mahaluxmi Industries
"The sessions at iSEED were very interactive and prodding -self discovery and exploring newer ways to access your venture ideas. The essence of entrepreneurship is to never give up and keep learning all the time, which was instilled very prominently by the Iseed faculty."

text: Glen, I have had great success with the *right* 10GbE nic and NFS. The important things to consider are: How much bandwidth will your backend storage provide? 2 x FC 4 I'm guessing best case is 600Mb but likely less. What access patterns do the "typical apps" have? All nodes read from a single file (no prob for NFS, and fscache may help even more) All nodes write to a single file (NFS may need some help or may be too slow when tuned for this) All nodes read and write to separate files (NFS is fine if the files aren't too big for the OS to cache reasonably). The number of IO servers really is a function of how much disk throughput you have on the backend, frontend, and through the kernel/ filesystem goo. My experience is a 10GbE nic from Myricom can easily sustain 500-700MB/s if the storage behind it can and the access patterns aren't evil. Other nics from large and small vendors can fall apart at 3-4 Gb so be careful and test the network first before assuming your FS is the troublemaker. There are cheap switches with 2 or 4 10GbE CX4 connectors that make this much simpler and safer with or without the Parallel FS options. Depending on how big/small and how "scratch" the need is... a big tmpfs/ramdisk can be fun :) Good luck!

Starbucks brews following in India where tea is supreme
Starbucks is hoping to capitalize on India's emerging middle class and its transformation from a rural population to a world economic power.
Seattle Times business reporter
MUMBAI, India —
Coffee in India, part one
Part 2: India's coffee harvests are drawing more attention, just as the nation grows in economic stature. Read story →
More from this series:
For a country known for its love of tea, India certainly has given Starbucks coffee a warm reception.
In the days after its first store opened in October in a chic area of Mumbai, lines stretched so long that security guards were forced to implement a one-in, one-out policy.
Two months later, the lines outside the flagship store were gone, but not the enthusiasm.
Srishti Sinha made an hourlong trek to Starbucks one December evening, bouncing with excitement all the way on the back of her boyfriend's scooter. Sinha checked out the menu online and chose their dinners: murg (chicken) tikka panini, lemon jazz cheesecake, a cappuccino and a Frappuccino. They even bought two Starbucks tumblers.
Upstairs in the same busy store, Akshi Chilana sipped her Americano, then took a picture of the cup's Starbucks logo to post on Facebook.
"It has a brand. It has esteem," Chilana explained.
The consumer wave now sweeping India includes an infatuation with branding on everything from cars and mobile phones to gourmet coffee. The phenomenon is part of India's transformation from a mostly rural, frugal population to an economic world power with a growing middle class that can afford $3.35 Frappuccinos.
Starbucks' arrival is just the latest marker.
India already has thousands of high-end coffee shops in addition to an almost uncountable number of traditional servers called chai wallahs slinging spiced, caramelly tea for 20 cents a cup.
Not that the coffee shops are edging out the chai wallahs. India's love of tea abides. With incomes increasing, people support both: Grab a cup of chai on the street and hang out in coffee shops, particularly in the evenings.
Figures show discretionary spending is growing fast and expected to reach 70 percent of average-household consumption by 2025, according to the McKinsey Global Institute.
That's the same year India, now with 1.2 billion people, is expected to pass China as the world's most populous country, according to projections from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Taking it slowly
Starbucks is keeping quiet about how many stores it wants in India.
It has 767 in China and plans to reach 1,500 there by 2015, part of a push into Asia that will include its debut in Vietnam in February.
In India, it is moving slowly for now, opening just four stores since its October launch, but R.K. Krishna Kumar, vice chairman of Tata Global Beverages, indicates faster growth is coming.
"I personally believe the potential couldn't be less than China," he said.
Starbucks owns its Indian stores in a joint venture with the Tata Group, an Indian conglomerate that is one of Asia's largest coffee producers. It also has steel, chemical and hotel operations and owns the company that makes Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles.
The Seattle coffee-shop chain is "taking a very long-term view of India," partly because of India's substandard infrastructure, said John Culver, Starbucks' president for the Asian-Pacific region.
Despite its economic gains, India remains a developing country where many roads are more pothole than road, making it difficult for companies to get goods to market.
Still, Culver said he expects India to someday be one of Starbucks' top-five markets.
Room for competition
As it is, Starbucks faces formidable competition in the country, where a coffee-shop chain called Cafe Coffee Day has proliferated.
It has 2,000 locations mostly in India, with plans to reach 5,000 stores worldwide in the next five years.
V.G. Siddhartha, Coffee Day's founder and chairman, oozes confidence and enthusiasm about the future for coffee shops and India.
He does not even mind if Starbucks makes a huge dent in the market he has cultivated for almost 20 years.
"I don't have any ego on that. If they put thousands (of stores here), it is good for me. The market will grow," Siddhartha said.
A former stock and commodities trader who is now one of India's wealthiest men, Siddhartha has run the numbers.
He figures India will become the world's third-largest economy in the next 30 years, and that its already burgeoning middle class will be able to support at least as many coffee shops as China.
He started Coffee Day in the mid-'90s as a way to sell coffee from his plantations directly to consumers. "I realized if I just concentrate on this (growing coffee), the international companies will come and kill me," he said.
Coffee Day strategy
Siddhartha plans to spend the next couple of years solidifying Coffee Day's position in India, then expand globally.
Coffee Day has 16 stores in Prague and Vienna.
"If I'm a decent player in the world market in the next 15 years, No. 3, No. 4 doesn't matter," he said.
About 50 of Coffee Day's stores are high-end and more expensive, like Starbucks.
The bulk are small diner-style shops with $1.40 large cappuccinos and meal deals, including hot coffee, a samosa and a "dessert shot" that resembles a small chocolate or mango pudding for $1.10.
Judging from a small sampling of stores in Mumbai, Coffee Day also seemed to play house music with a driving beat, whereas Starbucks leaned toward the Fleet Foxes.
Siddhartha admits Starbucks' arrival "will improve the standards in the industry, because we have to make sure our service and ambience and offerings are better."
Better, but not more expensive. Siddhartha wants Coffee Day to remain an "affordable luxury" — language Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz often uses — but in Coffee Day's case, even more affordable so that it can appeal to 40 percent of the population. He figures big international players like Starbucks appeal to 5 to 7 percent.
Pricing strategy
Starbucks, aware of its reputation for high prices, is attempting to offer value in India.
In contrast to central Beijing, where Starbucks charges $4.34 for a 12-ounce cappuccino, in Mumbai it costs $2.14.
"A lot of people were truly surprised by our pricing strategy," said Avani Saglani Davda, CEO of the Starbucks and Tata partnership.
The lower prices are part of its long-term plan to operate stores beyond a handful of major urban areas, she said.
"If the Indian consumer doesn't see value, then it tends to be a temporary commitment to the brand," Davda said.
Although brand savviness is growing, many Indians still shop at mom-and-pop stores that specialize in everything from car parts to bicycles to tea.
"Historically, India was not about materialism or consumerism. It will take years before we can change that culture," said Saloni Nangia, president of Technopak Advisors near New Delhi.
The change comes with economic growth and with the cross-border experiences of people like Neeti Singhi, who returned to Mumbai a decade ago after living for a couple years in San Francisco.
"I got hooked on Tazo chai," Singhi admits, referring to Starbucks' tea brand, Tazo.
Although she is surrounded by some the world's best chai all over Mumbai, she ordered a chai latte at its new flagship Starbucks.
"In India, it's all tea with just a touch of milk and mostly a lot of sweetener," she said. "At Starbucks, it's all milk with a little flavor of tea."

Ciani strike gives Bordeaux the edge
Bordeaux put themselves in the driving seat to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after claiming a 1-0 victory in the first leg of their last-16 tie at Olympiacos.
Michael Ciani popped up with the only goal of the game on the stroke of the interval as the Greek side gave themselves a mountain to climb in the second leg on March 17.
The winner was not without a whiff of controversy, however, coming as it did from a controversial free-kick awarded by referee Howard Webb, but that will be of little concern for Bordeaux coach Laurent Blanc who saw his side maintain their unbeaten record in this season's competition.
Olof Mellberg almost opened the scoring for Olympiacos after just four minutes, the defender connecting well with Jesus Datolo's free-kick but unlucky to see his header sail the wrong side of the upright.
A collision between Raul Bravo and Ieroklis Stoltidis gifted Bordeaux a chance to bag the opener after 36 minutes but Mellberg was on hand to mop up, flicking the ball clear of danger as Yoann Gourcuff looked to pull the trigger.
Two minutes into stoppage time Webb awarded a harsh free-kick against Lomana Lua Lua - who appeared to win the ball cleanly from Benoit Tremoulinas on the left touchline. Lua Lua was frustrated by the decision, but frustration gave way to anger moments later when Gourcuff whipped in a wicked delivery and centre-half Ciani timed his run to perfection to nod home from six yards.
Gourcuff saw a free-kick charged down by the Olympiacos wall moments after the restart, while the visitors saw an opening to go two goals clear spurned as Ciani headed over when unmarked from a corner kick.
Olympiakos went close when a long punt up field was controlled on the chest by substitute Matt Derbyshire, the Englishman laying the ball off for Lua Lua to drill in a low shot from the edge of the area which Cedric Carrasso just tipped wide. And the striker's personal duel with the Bordeaux goalkeeper continued when Lua Lua saw his looping header tipped away to safety.
From the resulting corner, Vassilis Torosidis almost snatched an equaliser as his header beat Carrasso, but Marc Planus did his job well to hack the ball clear on the line.
Olympiacos almost snatched an equaliser at the death when more frantic Bordeaux defending saw Fernando hack clear Stoltidis' header off the line.

Published in August, 2010 issue of News from Hope College by Greg Chandler.
From the time they were young, Matt Neil '82 and Mary Vande Hoef sensed a call to become coaches.
Growing up in the small town of Hastings, Mich., Neil organized practices and drew up the plays for his sixth-grade YMCA basketball team, which he nicknamed "Matt Neil's Bruins," a nod to the great UCLA basketball teams of the 1970s.
Meanwhile, in Orange City, Iowa, Vande Hoef dreamed since the third grade of becoming the first female head coach in the National Football League. While still in high school, she was already coaching a softball team at the local junior high school.
Their separate journeys brought them to Hope, where they are now the newest head coaches in the college's athletic department.
Neil is now the head coach of the men's basketball program, after having been an assistant coach for 26 years to his mentor, Dr. Glenn Van Wieren '64, who announced his retirement in April. Vande Hoef takes over as head coach for the Flying Dutch softball team, replacing Karla Hoesch '73 Wolters, who also retired.
"I believe in this place. I believe in the mission. I believe that everybody that enters this institution will have a chance to grow in ways they haven't even conceived," said Neil, who enrolled at Hope in 1978, earning his bachelor's degree in mathematics.
Vande Hoef comes to Hope after spending five years as an assistant coach – first at Ithaca (N.Y.) College, where she earned her master's degree in sport psychology, and more recently at her alma mater, Central College in Pella, Iowa, like Hope an institution affiliated with the Reformed Church in America.
"The college years are such a critical time," Vande Hoef said of the college experience. "You're shaping what you're going to be about. The exciting part for me is getting to build relationships with the players."
Both new coaches say they owe a great deal of gratitude for their opportunities to their mentors – for Neil, it was Dr. Van Wieren. For Vande Hoef, it was her coach at Central, George Wares.
Neil said Dr. Van Wieren was a model for him, not only in terms of being a coach, but also in modeling how to be a man of faith. He also said Dr. Van Wieren was open about accepting feedback from his players.
"His influence is one that is valuable for any coach – to sit with players, and ask, 'how do you feel about things,'" said Neil, who began his coaching experience with the Holland (Mich.) Public Schools and also coached Hope's junior varsity team.
Vande Hoef not only played for four years under Wares at Central, but worked with him as an assistant coach.
"He challenged me with questions that I didn't know the answers to, and helped me work through things that didn't have anything to do with softball," Vande Hoef said.
Vande Hoef, who earned her bachelor's degree in economics at Central, was a department manager at Pella Windows for five months after graduation and a personal trainer for two years before deciding she wanted to coach softball at the collegiate level. She came to that realization while working a summer camp at Central.
"When I worked this camp, I thought to myself, 'This is where I feel I'm at my best,'" Vande Hoef said.
In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Neil will teach in the department of kinesiology, where he'll hold the rank of assistant professor. Vande Hoef will serve as director of Hope's intramural program and assistant director of the Dow Center.
"My hope and prayer is that I'm able to build trust, complete trust with the people in our program, that they feel incredibly comfortable talking with me about a situation they might bring up," Neil said.

Makin' a Splash LayoutPosted in Scrapbook Pages and tagged with chipboard, Fiskars, KI Memories, Making Memories, Provo Craft, punch, rubons on 04/25/2011 12:00 am by Wendy
Supplies used: KI Memories Surprise Collection paper, Making Memories chipboard flower, Fiskars border punch, Provo Craft alpha rubons, and K&Company adhesive chipboard.
This was my layout from the March Challenge at Scrap Our Stash that I forgot to post. The challenge was "Spring Cleaning" – meaning dig something out from your stash, dust it off, and use it! I pulled out all the stops with this layout. Everything I used is old, old, old and I literally had to dust off my border punch! I used a sketch from My Little Sketch Book. I just love sketches! I've found some great sites lately and plan to use them more. They make scrapbooking so quick and easy!

Known to be one of the better penny stock pickers in the industry, AimHighProfits issued their subscriber an alert on Lot78 Inc. (PINK:LOTE) back in March with a prediction that the stock would break past the $4 level. Lot78, Inc., a trend-setting leader in the design, marketing, distribution and sale of urban apparel – retailing under the brand name "Lot78" in six continents, including: North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and South America, has been featured in US Weekly, Elle Magazine, Financial Times, Harrods Magazine, The London Evening Standard, and Grazia Magazine as an emerging global brand.
AimHighProfits' alert (see here) on LOTE stock at $0.93 came after extensive research on the Company and the insiders. Researching to find that Lot78 already had £355,469 worth of sales for the period ended September 30, 2012, the message was simple:
As you watch it climb up the charts, past $1.00 towards $2.00 and then on to $3.00 and possibly even $4.00, you will get the chance to tell yourself one of two things:
"I am so happy I got some LOTE under 1.00″, or
"I could have gotten some LOTE for under 1.00!"
LOTE shares are again the #1 traded penny stock on the OTC. The stock has shattered all expectations today hitting a new high at $11.65 for gains of 1152% since AimHighProfits issued their alert at $0.93 on March 13 – and there's still 2 hours left in the trading session.
