When describing the Hellraiser movies, there's enough to say that it's best to divide into two posts. Since there are eight movies, it makes sense to break at the midpoint, but it is also logical based on the stories themselves.
The first four movies form a loose tetraology that defines the Hellraiser mythology. "Loose" is an important consideration since continuity between movies has rarely been much of a consideration. After these movies, the stories are pretty much standalone tales in the Hellraiser Universe, with Pinhead becoming less of a force of evil and more a force of somewhat sinister justice. These films are stories that use Hellraiser elements but more-0r-less exist outside the Hellraiser saga comprised of the first four movies. As a another reason to logically break after the first four movies, they had been released theatrically; the next four were direct-to-video/DVD.
As for the movies themselves: the fifth movie is Hellraiser: Inferno, the tale of a corrupt cop who retrieves the Lament Configuration from a murder scene. There are indications that a child is being held prisoner by a mysterious figure known as the Engineer. After a binge with some coke and a hooker, the cop opens the box and things get really weird, almost like a David Lynch version of a Hellraiser movie. While many of the films have dream sequences, this one almost goes overboard with them. As seems appropriate, the bad cop pays for his crimes thanks to Pinhead.
Hellraiser: Hellseeker brings back Ashley Laurence, the heroine of the first two movies. As the movie begins, she is traveling with her husband, played by Dean Winters, currently most well-known for his guest appearances on 30 Rock as Dennis Duffy and his Allstate commercials where he's Mayhem. Any bliss between Kirsty and Trevor ends quickly as their car crashes into a river and Kirsty drowns. Or does she? Clues point to Trevor being not-so-nice a guy and Kirsty's body never appears. Strange flashbacks point to a less-than-happy marriage, one in which Trevor eventually gives Kirsty a Lament Configuration box. Nothing good can come from that. Pinhead is around, but his appearances are getting more and more limited.
Hellraiser: Deader kind of revisits the concept of the third film, with a reporter getting entangled in a nasty conspiracy. In this case, the reporter Amy Klein is played by Kari Wuhrer, one of those actresses whose name is kind of familiar but I can never quite place. After viewing a video showing a person being killed and brought back to life, Amy is off to Bucharest for a story. She finds a cult known as Deaders, led by one of the descendants of the original Lament Configuration. This fellow plans on using Amy as a pawn to gain access to Hell and control of the Cenobites. Pinhead has other ideas. It should be noted that this is one of the signs of a death knell of a franchise: first, direct-to-video, then filming in former Soviet bloc countries where everything looks European but is super cheap.
The next sign that a franchise is on its last legs is when it goes "meta", referring to itself. This is what happens in Hellraiser: Hellworld. The premise here is that the Hellraiser story is just a computer game, one which obsesses one player so much that he kills himself. A while later, his friends go to a Hellworld party where strange things are going on, including the appearance of various Cenobites. Here's where I have to insert a spoiler: it turns out the whole thing is the grand scheme of the dead kid's father, who's drugged the friends with hallucinogens, making most of the movie one big dream (and one with plot holes that are too big to be ignored. Of course, as a final twist, it turns out that the Cenobites are real, and they exact justice on the vengeful father. I'd like to point out that one of this movies failings is that the computer game that sparks this whole thing appears to be not very interesting or difficult, making me wonder why college-age kids would be obsessed with it for years.
Next post: rating the movies.

I've uploaded a couple of new 360° zoomable panoramas of Kinclaven Bluebell Wood near Murthly in Perth and Kinross. The wood is undergoing a change no thanks to the Scottish Woodland Trust who seem incapable of leaving alone or making minimal organic changes but are managing to kill what lovely atmosphere the wood had. Re directed paths with old routes unsubtly blocked by tree trunks, incapsulated posters everywhere, a large carpark etc.
The links are HERE and HERE or click the image. Note; they can take a little time to render, especially in full screen mode.
A near complete list of zoomable Panoramas can be found HERE.
Anyway; on occasion you can still find a silence and sense the woods inner breath and beauty.

Estes employees have a long-standing history of patriotism, from honoring the past service of our men and women in uniform to sending well-wishes to those currently serving. It's in this spirit that Estes is proud to work with worthwhile support organizations for outreach to active-duty U.S. service members and in remembrance of those who have given their lives to defend our freedoms.
Over the years, Estes has worked to collect and deliver care-package items for U.S. service men and women deployed in combat and disaster-relief zones around the world in time for Christmas.
Estes also supports Wreaths Across America (WAA) to help remember the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who gave their lives to preserve our nation's freedoms. Each December, WAA coordinates the laying of thousands of fresh evergreen holiday wreaths on gravesites to honor fallen veterans at more than 750 cemeteries nationwide, and Estes has been part of the delivery team since 2011.
These community efforts spring from a genuine gratitude for the sacrifices made by America's men and women in uniform. Expressing that gratitude through outreach opportunities such as these represents a small though important way we can Encourage the Living, Honor the Fallen.
We also value the experience and skills that military personnel bring to the table as Estes employees, which is why we proudly recruit military veterans to join our nationwide team.

Nicest dood in the game? We think so. Karl is the proud father of 3 kids and he's already got em shredding. Karl was born in Oakland but came up in the streets by ripping SF / EMB on the regular. He currently resides in Richmond, CA where you can find him steadily croozen at the skate plaza out there. When he is not out smiling or handing out stickers/goods to the youngens you can find him at half the helms of Organika skateboards where his goal is to keep pushing skateboarding in a positive direction via the eco vibe and also support the future of skateboarding. Besides Organika and Satori, Karl also rides for Venture Trucks , FTC , LRG Clothing, Diamond, Paradox Griptape and 510 Skateshop. Karl just had a part drop in the new LRG video and you know he's got some ill maneuvers for you to feast your eyes on.
Karl is one positive cat and being around him will bring a sense of peace and fulfillment to ya life. Homie also has a mean slappie, and can we say nose manual spinner to back lipper champion? A true skateboarder who came up in the EMB era.
Karl has roots so deep them redwood trees be giving him props.

To be completely realistic, you can't be expected to do or know everything. As a result, we all need experts on demand, delivering the services, goods, and machinery necessary to the project or situation. Engineering Firms, Geotechnical Laboratories, Drilling Companies, Mechanics, Equipment Suppliers, Chemical Manufacturers and Plants – some of the many examples of the types of services and suppliers critical to Mining and all Geotechnical industries. Geotemps fits into that category as a service to industry, while also providing service to fellow suppliers – in the field, the office, or the lab – extending the personnel and human resources support that industry-specific suppliers and geo-services often require.
Consequently, when 'the biggest mining player on the block' calls the most capable and dependable Sub-Contractor available, performance meets opportunity – assuming the team is ready and appropriately staffed. Geotemps recruits and screens geotechnical experts critical to the services that are critical to mining and geotechnical companies: Geologists, Surveyors, Supervisors, Managers, Job Site Technicians – all examples of valued and necessary expertise available for introduction to the Geotemps payroll system at the request of the many and varied potential supplier clients.
It is a given that any company or project is generally only as strong as the people involved – Geotemps is the staffing expert that Geotechnical Services and Suppliers may call when a significant bridge needs to be crossed, or when it is time to 'up the ante' by increasing the number of skilled staff involved. Thus, Exploration, Mine Site Programs, and other shared clients in the chain of supply and demand gain from the placement of particular personnel – short term, or if and when they are transferred to the client's payroll. Geotemps is historically and professionally committed to providing personnel services for various companies and contractors within a community of supportive services.
Suppliers and Services provide the necessary element in the winning formula for a successful Geotechnical project. Geotemps is the service supplier that other services can and do call.

Cyber Regulation Debate
|The best regulatory effort...
Someone, I'm sure not at all connected to any of these human rights groups, tried to buttress their argument that penetration testing software should be export controlled by uber-double-ironically hacking into HackerTeam and releasing all of their internal emails and documents.
At first, this worked well: HackerTeam had a number of contracts with people who they said they did not (Sudanese Govt, etc.).
However, it also demonstrated that HackerTeam had, in fact, gotten an export control license to do whatever they wanted, which completely undercut the whole rational for the Wassenaar cyber regulations, and in the end, helped cripple support for it. It also pointed out that of course HackerTeam's biggest customers were Western agencies - and if they really wanted to kill off HackerTeam, they could just close their pocket books.
Encryption DebateLikewise, the crypto debate has always had a number of supporters of key escrow threatening loudly "When a terrorist attack happens, and the terrorists use crypto, this law is going to get shoved down your throat, so you better prepare a nicer version of the law for us and promise to self regulate!"
The FBI Director has been the head cheerleader on this, but everyone else on the key escrow side has parroted these remarks. And lo and behold, once a terrorist attack happened we saw a MASSIVE push to get the argument moved to pressure Apple and Google to change "Their business model" to allow for key escrow/crypto backdoors to happen.
But what also happened? JUNIPER. We still don't know how Juniper found the backdoor in their code. They claim "internal code review" which could very well be language that means "The NSA told us."
But what we do know is that they used the cryptographic primitive (DUAL_EC) that DOES provide for a "secure backdoor". It's the perfect key escrow! This is what the FBI is asking for! But having a perfect mathematical primitive doesn't help the engineering side of things.
The weakness everyone is complaining about is not a mathematical weakness. It's an engineering weakness. And the Juniper hack completely demonstrated the fragility you introduce when you implement a "Cryptographic backdoor" in your system. Attackers then have a place to use to put implants into your network that are very hard to audit or control.
And, of course, China jumped the gun by requiring key disclosure from companies - the exact thing technology companies have been wanting the US Government to help prevent, which is why they were so angry the FBI was taking the opposite position in the first place.
So now the conversation has swung the other way, but with an EVEN MORE pissed off technology lobby, during an election year no less.
In summary: The crypto backdoor conversation is not one the government can win, in any likely scenario. It is time to move on and deal with the consequences.

The guys say Iai??i??m funny. I think they're just saying that and donai??i??t get my jokes half the time. I donai??i??t know about you, but thanks to LOLcats, I canai??i??t have a cheeseburger these days without looking for a cat lurking in the background. But thatai??i??s another topic for another day.
Today itai??i??s all about titles. Others have talked about ai???the titleai??? recently and its importance and even provided ideas for ai???canai??i??t loseai??? titles, so Iai??i??ll attempt not to be repetitive. For an extensive bunch of articles and tips on headlines ai??i?? what where when who and how ai??i?? a good first stop is www.copyblogger.com/category/headlines/.
Content is vital – in your blog posts, your articles, your seminar presentations, your emails to colleagues, your emails to your clients, your website, your phone conversations with the plumber, your excuses to the wife, your sucking up to the boss, your calming of hurt feelings ai??i?? the list is truly endless.
But even more important than the content itself is the way you begin that content. Iai??i??m not talking about the first line of your blog post, although that is incredibly important also for bringing a reader in. The most important part of your content is the title, the headline, the category, the very first words out of your mouth ai??i?? in Super Tadarise online, buy clomid online. short, the frame around your content.
Consider this. How often have you decided to go ahead and purchase something just because of its name? Look at the genius behind the name ai???iPodai???? I mean youai??i??re buying a damn MP3 player, but you donai??i??t say ai???I bought an MP3 player todayai??? ai??i?? you say, ai???I bought an iPodai??? and people cheap acyclovir online. think youai??i??re cool. Or at least they used to think youai??i??re cool. Just like content, titles can become dated, whether they are the name of a product or the title of a book.
If you pay close attention to the title of lexapro assistance program, lexapro assistance program, lexapro assistance program, lexapro assistance program, lexapro assistance program, lexapro assistance program. your content, you will draw in readers who otherwise might quickly decide that itai??i??s ai???just another blog entry about linkingai??? ai??i?? yawn.
Thatai??i??s what youai??i??ll get with a title like ai???Linking and SEO.ai??? Sure, your blog entry may be about the basics of linking in SEO. But if you have a title such as ai???O-SEM-a Bin Linkin Online,ai??? you will (hopefully) not just Female Viagra without prescription get a laugh or two, but also have potential readers asking themselves questions. They may wonder: ai???is this just a funny title?ai??? or ai???is this going to be about terrorism online?ai??? or ai???is Osama bin Laden turning to learning SEM as a way of dealing with his loneliness?ai??? or ai???OK, I get it ai??i?? the blog will be about linking and SEM.ai??? Even if the reader says, with disgust, ai???what a stupid title; it must have been written by a Democrat,ai??? you have their attention a lot longer than the ai???Linking and SEMai??? title has.
Hereai??i??s an example, which is also a way I can justify including a semi-tasteless but funny video in this post. The title of the video and song that buy provigil the characters are singing is ai???Itai??i??s Business Time.ai??? Hardly. Take a gander at this – [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=-GpTTf175aE[/youtube]
Humor (or an attempt at) is not the only way ai??i?? or even the best way ai??i?? to attract attention to your articles and blog posts. Itai??i??s just a way that many in the SEM business appreciate. After all, we toil in the darkness of the online world all day and need something to make us realize the whole world doesnai??i??t revolve around the number of visitors order Priligy to a website or the increase in ROI seen in our latest split test.
Humor is a good one, but it must be good humor rather than just another ice cream bar. If you are hopeless at telling a joke and no one laughs at the puns you throw or the crazy ideas you have for new cubicle toys, you may need to consider other avenues. And thatai??i??s great, because all roads lead to Rome ai??i?? man, what a lame ending. I gotta work on that ai??i?? the ending, that is. Sheesh.

We went to Costco!!!! Enough said, right?
Anyway, to continue my adventure in making all of Brynlee's food I decided to try carrots next. Our pediatrician said that they are a great first baby food because they are a little sweeter and babies tend to like eating them more. So as we were on our bi-weekly Costco run and I came across this giant bag of carrots (do not use the pre-cut/peeled baby carrots that come in a bag), I knew now was the time to try 'em!
I started out by peeling the carrots and chopping them up in smaller chunks. Needless to say, by the time I was done with this monstrous bag, my hands were starting to look a little orange…
After I was done, I steamed them in a big pot with a steamer basket. I had to do two batches.
Once they are soft, I pureed them in my Cuisinart Baby Food Maker. This took a while since I was doing so many at one time.
Then I put the puree in my ice cube trays to freeze. I forgot to take a picture of this step…
Then into the zip lock back they went to wait until I needed them.
All in all, this was probably the easiest although, most time consuming process yet. However, it made a lot, far more than anything else I've done so far! So it will last me a while. Carrots would also be a great easy thing to make in a pinch if you are doing a smaller batch. While the other things I've tried have taken around an hour to bake, steaming and pureeing a small batch of carrots would probably take around 20 minutes.

Lafarge said second-quarter profit fell 15 per cent and pledged to extend costs cuts and asset sales to reduce its debt as it reduced its forecast for demand in 2010.
Net income fell to EUR329m from EUR387m a year earlier, the Paris-based company said in a statement today.
"Based on second quarter activity, we have lowered our full-year volume estimates for western and eastern Europe and increased our volume estimates for North America," Lafarge said in the statement.
The company said it expects cement volumes in its markets to increase three per cent at best, less than a previous forecast for an increase of as much as five per cent. In the worst case, they may fall by one per cent instead of being unchanged, Lafarge said.
Lafarge Chief Executive Officer Bruno Lafont will seek to cut costs by more than his previous goal of EUR200m in 2010, and said he will invest no more than EUR1bn in 2011 as Europe's most indebted cement maker tries to keep its investment-grade credit rating. He aims to beat a previous goal of as much as EUR500m of asset sales this year.
The company's net debt fell to EUR15.16bn on June 30, down one per cent from EUR15.39bn a year earlier. Foreign exchange translation inflated Lafarge's debt by EUR1bn compared to year end, the company said.

I completed this song on the way to the big Springfield rally for the Equal Rights Amendment, in 1982, I believe. I was frantically dictating the notes and chords to Laurie Haag, who played bass with me, and we debuted it right there on the spot.
It quickly took off and was sung at many rallies, conventions, pickets, benefits - you name it. Women just spontaneously raised their arms overhead and swayed as they sang it, and that is the image that is captured on the cover of my third album, We Will Never Give Up, performed in Lafayette Park, Washington D.C. on June 30, 1982.
I will never forget how it felt to see a huge throng of women, men, and children singing and swaying to this song!

How Many Counties are in The U.S., and Which Has the Most and Least?
A county in the United States is the seat of local government that falls directly below the state government. There are only two states in the U.S. that don't have counties; Louisiana has parishes (a territory under the jurisdiction of a priest) while Alaska has boroughs (a region that self-governs). Some counties in the northeastern section of the U.S. have no governing function at all, but serve the U.S. in times of statistics for the Census bureau and some governing business on a state level. There is a total of 3,143 county-functioning governing parts all together, with 136 of those acting as equals to a county.
There are independent cities that function as counties as well in the United States, but aren't considered a true county themselves except when used as a census statistic. Out of the 42 total independent cities in the country, the state of Virginia has most of them, 39, while the other three reside in three separate states and are the cities: Baltimore, St. Louis, and Carson City in Maryland, Missouri, and Nevada, respectively. Most of the counties were established in the 1800's, with one county, Broomfield County in the state of Colorado, being the exception; it was established in the year 2001.
The state of Texas has the most counties — a whopping 95 more counties than the second largest county-holding state, with 254 counties. Georgia comes in second with 159, and Virginia, with its 39 independent cities, comes in third at 134 counties. Technically, Delaware has the least amount of counties, 3. But when it comes to counting counties for statistics sake, the District of Columbia has the least, because it's considered both a county-seat and state-seat.

Dreamfall(en) in Oslo - The Feature part 2
An interview by MaryScots 16th September 2005
Adventure-Archiv: The famous first question: could you introduce yourself to our readers and tell us a little bit about yourself?
Craig Morrison: My name is Craig Morrison and I am the Community Relations Manager for Funcom. I have been with the company since December last year and my responsibilities are pretty diverse. I work on all of our games doing everything from talking to the communities, facilitating communication between the community and the developers and generally working to ensure we maintain the good relationship with our players and fans that we established down the years.
AA: About Funcom: Since the foundation of the company in 1993 you have released 23 games. Were all of them developed entirely in-house or did you also work with external developers/companies?
CM: All of our games are developed in-house. Up until 1998 we developed as a kind of developer for hire. We worked for Sony, we worked for Disney, we did franchise games like Casper and Pocahontas - so we developed for other people. When we came to decide to do The Longest Journey and Anarchy Online we decided to become a publisher in our own right so the company moved from developing for other people to developing for ourselves. But yes, all of our games are developed by our own creative parts and the departments are here in the house.
AA: You have 5 offices around the world - in Norway, Switzerland, Luxemburg, USA and China. What functions do the offices abroad have? Are those also development studios?
CM: No. Most of the development is done here in Oslo for all our games. The U.S. office for example is our support centre for Anarchy Online which is a live game which runs 24/7 365 days a year so it has a large amount of support staff, customer service people answering emails, billing support, in-game support, games masters in Anarchy Online. The American office also houses some of our QA department, quality assurance who do our testing. The Chinese office which is relatively new - we only opened it in the last six months - and with that we are using it to do some outsourcing. We have some graphic artists that work there. The Chinese market is a potentially huge market for games. It's an expanding market in Korea, in Japan and in China - there is huge potential for progression and as a company that looks to progress all the time it's a market we need to look into and there's obviously lots of talented people working there. So the Chinese office also houses some development people but mostly on the graphics side - concept artists, studio artists - it's obviously easier to allow that kind of resource to be done in another office while the design work and the programming really has to be done in one central location which is what the Oslo offices support. The offices in Switzerland and Luxemburg are of the financial side of the company.
AA: How many employees (designers/artists/programmers) worked for Funcom back in 1993 and how many do today? Did the number of staff members constantly increase?
CM: I couldn't tell you the exact number back in '93. We are now around 140 people working on the three projects that we've got live now in Anarchy Online, Dreamfall and Age of Conan. We are increasing our staffing now obviously with three games in development. We did, and it's been well publicised, shed members of staff two or three years ago just after the launch of Anarchy Online due to problems that we had with the launch of that game. But the company has bounced back strongly - we're now hiring people - the company is in a very healthy position and developing new talents, bringing in new people. And working on three great games that will hopefully go on for the years to come. So, yes we'll hopefully have many more people as well! (smiles)
AA: Lets move to Dreamfall: How many people are working on the game, in which departments and for how long?
The game - Dreamfall - has been in development for a couple of years now. The way that the games work in development is that each person works in a team on a game - so someone who is working on Age of Conan isn't working on Dreamfall, someone who is working on Anarchy Online isn't working on Dreamfall. The Dreamfall-team itself is about 30 people at the moment. And within that there are three distinct teams that are design, coding and graphics. Graphics is everything from the concept artists and the lead graphic artists designing the look and feel of the game through to the 3D-modellers and the animators making those concept art pieces come to life in the actual environments that you see in the game. The coders obviously work on the game code (grins) making the programming work and making the software work, designing the code for the different platforms, both for Xbox and the PC. And then the designers are the people who actually write the dialogues, design the puzzles, they come up with the ideas. So, those three teams are the way that the programs/the games are produced in-house. And each project has those three teams and they are entirely dedicated to the one game. On top of that you have the audio designers who work on all our titles as well as the marketing staff working on things like web-site design, posters, ads and box art.
AA: And in addition to that there are the testers, then
CM: Yes, our QA department is actually based here in Oslo and in the US and depending on which state any of the games are at, dependant how much testing is going on - obviously with a game like Dreamfall after completion of each chapter of the game the QA department goes through it. They do everything from testing for graphical glitches and where the players can get stuck to making sure that the gameplay flows and the gameplay is strong. So, the QA really have an important job because they have lots to do and they have to make sure that not only are the technical bugs resolved but also the gameplay is strong. They are a very integral part of the team providing feedback to designers on the puzzles, providing feedback on how the game flows - is it too quick, is it too slow, could the player be confused. So, QA is very important part of the development process.
AA: I read that TLJ was planned as a trilogy from the very beginning. However, it seemed as if it was mainly due to the demand of the players and fans of TLJ that you decided to do a sequel. There has even been a poll on the official TLJ site asking whether one would prefer a sequel or a prequel. When did you decide?
CM: In terms of the decision as to when to stage Dreamfall, I think the designers have always had a longer story in mind, TLJ was always part of a much wider story art that the game directors and the writers had in mind. So obviously the success of TLJ was what allowed us to come back and do Dreamfall and do it as a sequel of sorts, we prefer to think of it as a spiritual successor more then a direct sequel, seemed like the correct decision to do - people want to explore the story more, they want to know what happened to their favourite characters - but at the same time also make a game that didn't require you to have to have played the first one to understand.
AA: So was this poll important for you or did it just back up your decision?
CM: We use community polls to help with decisions - talking to our community is very important. Obviously we have a lot of experience with a game like Anarchy Online where we're constantly talking to our customers all day, all the time on the various issues and we use that same methodology to help us gain feedback when we do single-player games like Dreamfall. So yes, sometimes it's used to back up what we're thinking - sometimes the ideas from the forums and the various fan-sites that exist around the web, they give us ideas. We do read them - we know sometimes people think we never read them but we do (winks and smiles). And the players' feedback is always important. It'll never be the only factor to decide what is right but it is something that the designers always consider.
AA: As Dreamfall is a sequel would that mean that the last part of the trilogy not implying any plans at this time - is a prequel?
CM: Ah, I really couldn't answer that. That would be up to Ragnar to speculate and talk about at a later date.
[OK. Well, we can ask. (grin)]
AA: There was and still is a lot of speculation going on about what to call Dreamfall an adventure, an action-adventure or whatever. Which elements of gameplay will be implemented and will there always be a way to work around "action"-sequences - always meaning including those of Kian and April?
CM: Dreamfall is an adventure game at heart - that's the most important thing - it's telling a story. So we dont want to mark it down into any specific genre, and the pre-conceptions that might come with that genre. What we are trying to do with Dreamfall is bringing that a bit more up to date and make a new generation of adventure games. Obviously, I think, the market hasn't been there over the last few years for traditional style adventure games, which is unfortunate because a lot of the story telling aspects of computer games of late has sometimes been less important than the action and how many explosions you can make. With Dreamfall we are very much telling a story. The action sequences will be used where appropriate to ensure that it brings the story along. The majority of them will be optional - there will always be other solutions. Players will be able to interact or talk their way out of most situations, they may be able to avoid direct conflict, do negotiations and talk the way out of the situation. In terms of the finished gameplay - will every action sequence be avoidable? We can't guarantee whether every single one will be avoidable but the majority of them will certainly offer choices to the player.
AA: Ah, that's good to know.
AA: Ragnar Třrnquist mentioned in a JA+ interview back in 2003 that AO is Funcoms most important financial resource. Did you ever think about bringing the TLJ universe online?
CM: That's something that obviously - when we have a popular game like The Longest Journey and the world that surrounds it - is always an option. The next online game we're making is Age of Conan but we will certainly be developing other online worlds in the years to come and you never know - it's always an option.
AA: In what way did experience resulting from TLJ and/or external influence (i.e. publishers/industry/audience) have an impact on the design of Dreamfall? Did you have to make concessions, if so which kind and why? Where do/did you refuse to budge? Who do you want to attract/whose demands do you want to satisfy and what age group of players are you aiming at?
CM: One of the main things we're trying to achieve with Dreamfall is to bring the adventure genre up to date. Whether people want to categorise it as an adventure game or an action-adventure game - it'll all be pretty much down to people who review it we shall see when they get the finished product - but before we want to try and bring that genre up to date and present a gameplay to people that is accessible. Obviously, one of the reasons that the adventure games have waned over the last few years is the interfaces, you know, people expect more from a game than just point & click and the frustration if you can't find that one pixel that will trigger something important. It's a frustration that you will obviously be aware of having done The Longest Journey and we wanted to make sure that Dreamfall isn't caught in any of those traps and is accessible to as wide an audience as possible. Obviously, in terms of target audience we want as many people as possible to buy our games. (grins) But at the same time it's a way of story telling that will, we think, appeal to the same audience that The Longest Journey appealed to and at the same time hopefully bring more people to play a game in that genre that they might not normally have wanted to play. In terms of target age obviously we don't find limits ourselves in one way or another or say, "Well, we only want old people to play this game or we only want teenagers to play this game". Obviously the story is a mature and involving story so it's certainly not a children's game but other than that we don't try and pigeonhole. When we go to conventions and talk to the public on the forums - we have people whose ages range between 18 and 80 who've enjoyed The Longest Journey and enjoy our games. And that's something we'd like to maintain with Dreamfall.
AA: The age question brings up another one right now. Quantic Dream had to make some concessions with Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy due to the ESRB rating in America - they had to take out some sex scenes. Are you prepared to change anything if the need arises?
CM: When it comes to rating we are pretty sure we wont have too many issues with Dreamfall. On the American market if you get an Adult Only rating the game won't be stocked in the majority of retailers in America and that's something that game makers want to avoid. Quantic Dream have obviously made changes to their game to avoid it being categorised for that reason. We don't believe at this point that there'll be anything in Dreamfall that would force us to have to make any major concessions. Without wanting to second-guess the ESRB we know the content will be of a Mature rated game and most likely 16+ in Europe. There may be a slightly different version for the American market depending on the feedback we get from the ratings board but there will be no dramatic gameplay changes.

Big Buddy preparing for reunion
BATON ROUGE - The Big Buddy Program is looking back at the impact it's had in the 35 years since its founding in 1979.
People in the community say the program allowed them to live a life they had only dreamed of before joining. The group started as one, small neighborhood group but now serves more than 1,000 kids every week. News Two's Rebecca Buchanan caught up with a couple people from that first group this morning on 2une In.
Charles Hill still remembers the day the Big Buddy group came knocking on his door. He saw it as a way to play ball and have fun after school, but it turned out to be much more. He says it's what made him a success.
"it lets me know that if you use your gifts and talents, you can play a positive role in other individual's lives," he explains. "if somebody helps us, we should be able to give back and to help somebody else."

I'm a long term cyclist/zwift user who has just purchased a C2 D rower for upper body cardio, loving it so far!
One thing I feel lacking is a high quality, community based rowing software. The developers at Zwift have indicated that if there is enough interest in rowing they will look further into it.
Here is a quote from a post on the Zwift forums (2 years old now)
So if you're keen please put a like and a comment to the post so we can make it happen!Interesting idea that a few other people have mentioned to us as well. We're focused on cycling at the moment but we always have little side projects we investigate here at Zwift so you never know.
If we had more concept 2 users writing in we could more easily justify the research sooner rather than later.

More Information
- Wikipedia: Serial Peripheral Interface Bus
- Embedded.com: Introduction to Serial Peripheral Interface
SPI2AHB SPI to AHB-Lite Bridge
The SPI2AHB core implements an SPI Slave to AHB-Lite Master bridge. This allows an external Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus master to perform read or write access to any memory-mapped device on the internal AMBA® AHB-Lite bus.
The core implements a simple over-SPI protocol to convert SPI transactions into AHB Read or Write instructions. This over-SPI protocol supports only 32-bit-wide data accesses, which are translated to AHB-Lite accesses on the AHB-Lite master port. The bridge also monitors the AHB-Lite bus and reports erroneous transfers to the system. Errors captured by the core include Error Responses on the AHB bus, and errors due to slow responses for the accessed AHB-Lite slave.
The core supports quad, dual and single SPI data lines. The format of the lower level SPI transmission is compliant to the SPI de facto standard, but fixed to minimize area and power. The core drives the outbound serial data on the rising edge of the serial clock, and samples inbound serial data on the negative edge of the serial clock (CPHA=1), while the resting state of the serial clock is low (CPOL=0). Furthermore, all SPI transactions are assumed to be 32-bit wide.
The SPI2AHB core is designed with industry best practices, and its reliability and low risk have been proven through both rigorous verification and customer production. It is available in Verilog RTL source or as a targeted FPGA netlist, and its deliverables include sample synthesis and simulation scripts and comprehensive user documentation.
Block Diagram
The SPI2AHB enables an external device to have full access to the internal AHB-Lite bus over a simple SPI connection. It can be used for firmware uploads, design-initialization, and run-time monitor, control and debug in a wide variety of designs including typical microcontrollers, sensors, MEMs, and analogue front-ends.
The core as delivered is warranted against defects for ninety days from purchase. Thirty days of phone and email technical support are included, starting with the first interaction. Additional maintenance and support options are available.

Wordless Wednesday: Don't be late for the Cool Bus
Posted by Donna Black-Sword
You know, it's not like it's a challenge to make it look like a golden retriever is driving a school bus.
No, it's more like nearly flippin' impossible. But thanks to my ever diligence in lowering my standards, I convince myself that I'm rather happy with the results of this photo op.
We can pretend that our Cool Bus is transporting kids to some British-ish institution of education, say like Hogwarts. Because where else but a school of magic would a golden retriever be at the wheel on the right side of a school bus. With his five-fingered hand braced upon the dashboard for support as the bus balances on two wheels along those sharp turns.
And who is dropping off that last kid on the bus route. The one kid who sampled the ageing potion in chem class against all warnings that it wasn't quite ready yet.
Because you know. Hogwarts.
This photo is brought to you courtesy of Micron and the Husband. Both being good sports in public, while I direct this whimsical scene at our favorite pumpkin farm.
Make it look like the dog is driving the bus, I said.
Ok, he said.
Really? I said. Alrighty then.
Huh. At least that part was easy.

I am working on a project where a few developers decided to use the Caching block in an interesting way.
The code I saw was basically:
if(cache.Contains[MyKey]) return cache.GetData(MyKey); fill cache code....
Contains….hmmm. Sounds innocent, right? You do it with a Dictionary.
This code will work, granted not optimally, but works OK if you always use never-expiring caching. i.e. the default Add. (Of course the scavenger could run between the Contain and GetData and you get screwed) If however you decide to actually use caching with AbsoluteTimeout or SlidingTimeout or other cache timeouts; you get false positives.
Why? Well, the Contains does exactly as you might expect, it see if the key is valid. What it doesn't do though, is check to see if the cached value is actually expired. Since the scavenger runs only every XX seconds, it is possible your key was expired.
So you do the GetData call on the cache and you get back a null. Gee, why a null? Well, if the cache item was expired, which the GetData enforces before returning, then you get back a null.
So Brian, how should I use the the caching block's cache manager?
Well, fellow reader, you should use the following. Amazingly simple, eh?
var myValue = cache.GetData(MyKey); if(myValue != null) return myValue; Do fill and add code here............
A lot easier than you expected, and it even works every time. Now, of course you will need to incorporate your own locking strategy around this if you are thread re-entrant.
And yes….GetData is the same as the indexer. cache[MyKey] = cache.GetData[MyKey] Use whatever way you prefer.
Happy Coding!

Welcome the new segment of sagedandconfused that I like to call "Wandering Wednesdays" in which I "wander" and post about my findings and experiences. This gives me a chance to post something new every Wednesday, which is pretty flipping exciting if I do say so myself. Today, I went to Target and Costco at night which is fitting seeing how the freaks come out at night anyways. I didn't see any, but it would've been really cool if I would've.
Normally I hate going grocery shopping. It's long, boring, and when I get home, we have to clean out the fridge and make room for the new food. Then wash all of the empty dishes and containers, which is straining and time consuming. Not only that, but it's been cold recently and it gets dark a lot sooner than it does in the spring and summer months. But there is something about going out at night, that makes it more exciting.
(And look, a comet! I'm kidding. I'm not an idiot. I know that is not a comet. Obviously that is the UFO from the first season of the X-Files.)
You get to see the people that keep the same time as you do (though, when this picture was taken it was only just before 5 p.m. PST), the employees are grumpy because they have been working since early in the morning and don't want to bother with helping you grab the bread because you're only 5'5″, and you get to forget what you had actually came there to get because its late and you are really only looking to get back home and watch TV then go to sleep. Costco, was actually a lot emptier than it usually is, which only reminded me that I was in a warehouse full of bulk options and substantial sizes of things you don't need that much of, like cotton balls (Daria, anyone?). Target, on the other hand…
…was full of unnecessary things I needed. Whenever I go to Target I break away from the pack to go look at the new t-shirts they got in. I have a mild obsession with graphic t-shirts, tank tops, sweaters, boy shorts and caps. Really anything with big words on it. My real love is graphic t-shirts in the men's department because they had all of the funniest sayings and quotes but is seems as though the "Young Woman" section is stepping it up, because it was the hardest thing for me to put these sweaters back down.
Also, because I have a love for most things comic book (including DC Comics), I recently started watching "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and all I have to say is "Did you hear about Ward? That's messed up right?!" Totally blew my mind in a really angry "WHY THE H#LL DID THAT HAPPEN?!" sort of way. I felt (feel) betrayed. The only thing I can do is remember how absolutely amazing the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer looks, and fangirl over that. Having James Spader in it was what sold it for me, and I more than looking forward to him being a villain. I already know he is going to rock at it. With it being released in my birth month is also a plus.
I don't usually go for the sunglasses, but when I do…
I'm also not much of a purse girl, but today I felt unwittingly compelled to indulge in my inner girl and grab all the bags I could get my hands on.
Then I have a nice talk with some wallets, and wonder shortly why my assistant wasn't talking back.
What is the first thing you go for when you visit Target? And how annoyed were you with Ward's change in character, if you watch Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Do you hail hydra? Or are you a sheild? Join me Friday, as I go over some basic yoga moves for "Fitness Fridays". Until next time. Sage Out.

New partner signs on with South Texas nuclear project
Agreement part of plan for new units at nuclear power plant.
The expansion of the South Texas Project, slowed by controversy and uncertainty, took a step forward Monday.
Nuclear Innovation North America, which hopes to build two new reactors at the site near Bay City, awarded an engineering, procurement and construction contract to a new partnership between a Toshiba subsidiary and the Shaw Group Inc.
Shaw, a global engineering services company with nuclear construction expertise, also will invest $250 million in an alliance with Toshiba America Nuclear Energy for future nuclear work. Of that, $100 million will be available as a line of credit for NINA to assist with the development at STP.
NINA is a partnership between NRG Energy and Toshiba to develop new nuclear projects. Expanding STP has been the group's initial effort - and things have not gone smoothly.
NRG and CPS Energy used to be equal partners in the proposed expansion, until local controversy surrounding the cost of the project lead to lawsuits that left CPS with just a 7.6 percent stake.
The partners signed an initial EPC contract with Toshiba in February, before the partnership soured.
That left NINA and Toshiba spending millions of dollars every month while each looked for new investors, just as prospects for a much-vaunted American nuclear renaissance began to fizzle amid an economy gone sour and low natural gas prices.
In August, NRG said it would slash spending on the project by 95 percent while it waited to learn whether it would win the federal loan guarantees necessary to make the project viable.
Presuming it does and the project gets a notice to proceed, Shaw's credit line will convert to equity in NINA, according to a company's news release.
"The collaboration of Toshiba and Shaw is the ideal partnership for the expansion of the South Texas Project," said Steve Winn, president and CEO of NINA. "Each of these partners has industry-leading expertise in building nuclear power plants, and combined, they can deliver on-time and on-budget construction excellence."
A spokesman for NRG said the company still is looking for additional partners.
Doyle Beneby, CPS' CEO, said Shaw has a strong reputation and that having it on board "bodes well for the project coming to fruition."
The partnership doesn't affect CPS' stake.
The expansion, which would add 2,700 megawatts at STP, is on track for permitting in 2012, according to NINA, with the two new units scheduled to come online in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
CPS would receive about 200 megawatts for the roughly $386 million it invested.

American lawmakers continue debating Democratic opposition to President Bush over new U.S. troop deployments to Iraq. Democrats in the House of Representatives have proposed legislation calling for U.S. troops to begin withdrawing from Iraq by 2008, at the latest. VOA's Stephanie Ho reports from Washington.
The Senate last week tried, but failed, to win Republican support for a plan to debate a resolution calling for U.S. forces to pull out of Iraq.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham called the Democratic efforts "dangerous political theater," and told CNN's Late Edition he believes they undercut the top U.S. military official in Iraq, General David Petraeus.
"We need to reinforce this infant democracy that is less than a year old, across all fronts, and quit talking about leaving, until we get it right," said Lindsey Graham. "Our national security interests will be determined by what we left behind. A failed state in Iraq is a nightmare for this country, and we need to allow General Petraeus the chance to go forward. These resolutions do not help."
Speaking on the same program, Democratic Senator Joseph Biden, questioned President Bush's latest request to Congress for several thousand more U.S. troops to Iraq, over and above the 21,500-troop buildup announced in January.
"The bottom line is you cannot continue to escalate this war without any underlying plan as to what happens when in fact you do bring order, if you bring order," said Joseph Biden. "The president has now gone from Petraeus telling us there were going to be 17,500 troops. They are now talking about the need for 30,000 troops in there. They are now talking about being there for another year. I mean, what is the plan? What is going on here? What are you attempting to do?"
In the House, lawmakers are working on legislation that would require President Bush to meet deadlines in July and October of this year to inform Congress about progress made by the Iraqi government on meeting political, economic and security goals. If the White House cannot provide the necessary certification, it would trigger the start of a six-month period of U.S. troop withdrawals.
Spokesmen accompanying President Bush in South America have issued a veto threat. This position was echoed by the outgoing U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, who told NBC's Meet the Press he hopes Iraqis understand that in the U.S. political system, the authority for war rests with the president.
"They understand what happens in America is very important for them," said Zalmay Khalilzad. "But at same time, that they understand our system. The president is the commander-in-chief, and that he has his prerogatives."
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari also rejected calls for a precipitous U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq. He told CNN's Late Edition that he believes Iraqi troops are not able to act on their own to maintain security in many parts of the country.
"The problem is in Baghdad and in some central provinces," said Zebari. "Still, their [U.S. troops] presence is much needed. I think any decisions to pull these troops out prematurely or in a hasty way would have disastrous consequences for everybody, for the United States, for the region, for the stability and security of the entire region, which is the most vital."
Zebari added that coalition troops are in Iraq because of U.N. mandate and with his government's consent.

The idea here is, what can we do to help the potential suicide victims of bully culture? We can tell them that it gets better, that we were once where they are now, and that now we love our lives.
I'm not going to make a video but I am writing a little something, and here it is.
High School
I grew up in a small town in New England. I saw my friends get beaten up for being different. I was mocked for my differences on a weekly basis if not a daily one. I happen to be bisexual and polyamorous - I knew of only two other polyfolk and one other bi person in my age group. Getting yelled at out of car windows was routine when I held hands with my girlfriend, being teased and mocked felt constant, and the relationship I had with my parents was pretty adversarial. I knew I was different. It was often painful. I got teased so much for crying that I sort of shut it off, and still have difficulties letting myself cry today.
But, when I got to college, all of that changed for me. I knew other people who were interested in learning, who liked sex, who were queer, and I felt like I was really in the company of my peers for the first time.
Finding My Way
Being in high school in a small town it's very hard to choose your peer group. This is really tough. The good news is, it changes almost immediately once you are self-supporting. When you are paying your own way, you get to decide for yourself where you want to live, what you want to do, and who you want to hang out with. This was a total revelation for me. I definitely remember people who had made fun of me when I was younger. I have run into a few of them as adults and they seem much smaller now, much less powerful and cool than they once were. As an adult you can make the choice to only spend time with people who really respect you and honor your choices, and I can proudly say that everyone who is in my life knows what my lifestyle is and is okay with who I am.
A Happy Memory
Something that I would never have imagined when I was in high school is that a younger member of my family also turned out to be queer. I am so glad that I was able to be there for her when she started taking those first steps toward accepting herself and coming out, and even beyond that, to her dating women, getting more comfortable, having successful relationships, and eventually settling down with a partner that she cherishes.
Another experience that I will never forget that would have been completely impossible in my teenage years is seeing a baby be born - a totally magical experience.
What I would Tell my 15-year Old Self
I would just want to say that there's a whole big world out there. Small town life is really insular and you think that the way people around you act and believe is the way everyone acts and believes. Happily, this is not true at all! Once you get out there you will find that there are more people who do it your way than you could possibly have imagined. Hang in there, baby, it gets so much better from here on out.

As much news as computer privacy and identify theft seem to garner on a daily basis, the reality is that most of us ignore it completely or do very little to mitigate or prevent something bad from happening on any level.
Why do we overlook computer privacy?
The real question should be what are we doing to protect or computers, tablets and devices, whether person or business related, from theft of identity?
If you answer that question with nothing or a halfhearted forage into how you avoid spam emails, you might not be as adept at preventing theft as you originally believed.
We look past computer privacy on a consistent basis for two reasons: the internet and gaining information, emails, etc. online is so easy and is often a "given," and privacy takes on a "can't happen to me" mentality for the masses.
But computer privacy is real and of the utmost important for a lot of reasons, namely to protect your assets, your credit and make sure you're not inviting a hacker into your entire company to have information meant for only the eyes of your co workers and more importantly your superiors.
That's why if you're going to look at the basics of computer privacy and want to stop ignoring just how important it is, you'll want to focus on your email first and foremost. Email is how we communicate for the most part, so we can't stress just how important it is not only do the bare minimum and not open what looks to be questionable emails but also pay close attention to your email in terms of if you suspect a breach has occurred. An easy way to see this is if your password suddenly doesn't work.
In addition to email, you should make it a habit to change any passwords you have on a 30 or, at most, 60 day basis. This includes network computer passwords at work or email passwords, streaming services, etc.
And if your Wifi isn't password protected, you're allowing hackers and those in the know to see what you're doing so using public Wifi, particularly on a work device, isn't the best of decisions.
Trying to avoid a computer hack or identity theft sometimes can't be avoided. But if you can check all the boxes that show you've done all you can, then sometimes that peace of mind makes working through this problem a little easier to swallow, knowing you have in fact put a premium on your privacy.

*** ETA- The appt at mayo had to be rescheduled. Unfortunately, in the middle of the Oscars telecast, I started to come down with the flu. In talking to Mayo today, because I'm so immune suppressed they suggested I stay home until I'm better. Too many weird bugs going around that I'm liable to catch. So, home we sit. Yahoo.
Wrestle, wrestle, wrestle.
Right now I'm wrestling with several things. Emotional, physical, spiritual, and a few other "uals" ...
We have our appt. with Mayo Clinic on Tuesday, as well as some other things next week . I need to get my head around alot of stuff, and get my heart back on track.
I guess I'm just trying to say- I'm going to have to take a break for abit. It may be a few days, it may be long. I don't know.
It's the whole "peak and valley" thing, and right now- it's Valley Time.
Hope to be back soon.
