10 Highly Anticipated Video Games You'll Never Get To Play
Making video games is a perilous process that has claimed many a promising title. While countless games get quietly axed when development hits a snag, some games live on in vaporware purgatory, with loyal fans longing for their release.
Why do we care? Because if these games were ever allowed to see the light of day, they would almost certainly kick ass.
#10. StarCraft Ghost
You know those legions of ant-sized grunts you'd cruelly send marching to their bloody demise in Starcraft? Well it turns out one of those grunts was actually a sexy girl named Nova with a penchant for ass-clinging outfits. Who knew?
OK, deep down, all of us knew. And so did Blizzard, who in 2002 teased us with this awesome-looking tactical action game set in the Starcraft universe normally reserved for Real-Time Strategy geeks.
How much ass would it have kicked?
If Blizzard had devoted even a fraction of the same time and effort to Starcraft Ghost's gameplay that they clearly sunk into lovingly rendering agent Nova's taut, bountiful butt cheeks ...
... then this game may have cured cancer had it ever seen the light of day.
So is there any chance it'll come out?
Early in 2006, Starcraft Ghost was put on "indefinite hold," but like the creepy dude who won't get out of his ex's bushes, Blizzard just seems to be incapable of letting this one go. Hell, supposedly Blizzard has a full-sized statue of the game's protagonist Nova sitting in their lobby.
When a company has erected a towering camel-toe flashing statue of a character near the front door of their headquarters, that can usually be taken as a good sign they may still have plans for them. On the other hand, maybe they ordered the statue back when the project was alive and decided that since they paid for it, they might as well use it, dammit.
If Starcraft Ghost ever happens we'd have to think it'd come out after Blizzard's next monster, a little game called Starcraft II. In other words if you're dead set on masturbating to Starcraft units in the near future you'd better plan on buying Starcraft II and a magnifying glass.
#9. Star Trek Online
If you're a Star Trek fan and tired of message boards, chatrooms, blogs, wikis and slash fic being the only ways for you to indulge your crippling Star Trek obsession while on your computer, this game was for you. Star Trek Online was to be an online role-playing game, which would feature established Star Trek characters, races and planets.
How much ass would it have kicked?
Between the series and the films and the endless novels, the Star Trek universe is so vast it makes the Starcraft universe look like something scribbled on the back of a napkin. This game could present endless possibilities: Casually stroll the halls of the USS Enterprise, fight a Gorn gladiator to the death, chug Romulan ale with rowdy Klingons, high five commander Riker as you double team alien chicks with strange and exotic foreheads.
If you're a well-adjusted contributing member of society the previous sentence was likely a baffling sequence of gibberish, while if you're a Trekkie you probably just shit your elastic-waist jeans in excitement.
Seriously, though, you don't need to be a Trek fan to get excited about this game. Due to budget constraints most Star Trek episodes consisted entirely of people poking at plywood control panels, spouting techno-babble about tachyon rays or looking pained as they got mind-raped by telepaths (you'd be surprised how often it happened) but a Trek game would be free to shed all that and focus on the kick-ass stuff usually only glimpsed in the TV shows.
So is there any chance it'll come out?
On January 14, 2008, Perpetual Entertainment announced they were no longer working on the game and the entire team who was working on it was let go. That's about as dead as games get.
Apparently the license has been transferred to Cryptic Studios (the people behind the City of Heroes MMORPG) so it's possible they'll eventually do a version of this game at some point in the distant future (they'd presumably be starting from scratch). And here we spent all that time learning how to call someone gay in Klingon.
#8. Shenmue 3
The Shenmue saga was quite simply one of the most ambitious and groundbreaking video game projects ever envisioned (the original cost an astounding $70 million to make, even now one of the most expensive games ever made). Originally intended as a trilogy, Shenmue landed on the Sega Dreamcast and introduced the world to the kind of sandbox-style action that the Grand Theft Auto series later took and ran to the end zone with.
How much ass would it have kicked?
Opinion on Shenmue is somewhat split these days. Detractors argue the games were slow and clunky by today's standards, while Shenmue fanatics argue that the detractors are a bunch of stupidheads.
What can't be denied is the sheer scope of these games. If nothing else, Shenmue III would be one hell of a spectacle if it were finally unleashed, particularly if the proud tradition of compelling dialog from the first two games is carried on ...
We had hoped Shenmue III would finally let him find that sailor.
So is there any chance it'll come out?
The first two games in the series sold well, but not well enough to make back the absolutely bat-shit insane amount of money spent producing them. It's been said that in order for Shenmue to turn a profit every Dreamcast owner would have had to buy the game ... twice.
Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki has repeatedly shot down rumors that the third game is in development, although if he were to read some of the endings fans have written for the series he might be forced to make Shenmue III out of disgust.
#7. Dirty Harry
If you ask us, there aren't enough games set in the early '70s, an era when the streets were full of huge cars and pimps, when everybody smoked and cops carried huge revolvers that could kill you from the sound alone.
That's what we were expecting from the Dirty Harry game they were making for the PS3 and XBox 360, in which you got to play as Clint Eastwood's legendary dirty cop, voiced by Eastwood himself.
How much ass would it have kicked?
Let's put it this way: from the trailer it looked like you could interrogate scumbags by squeezing their head in a vice.
Hopefully there'd be an option to unscrew the vice and carry it with you, because you basically can solve every problem that way. Captain on your ass because you're a loose cannon? Put his head in a vice.
On top of that, you have what could have been a truly unique setting, the gritty, funky world of 1972 San Francisco.
So is there any chance it'll come out?
Sadly, the game was never as far along as that trailer makes it look (Warner Bros. just had an animation team cook up the trailer for marketing purposes, none of that was gameplay) and the project never really got off the ground.
As with Star Trek, there is some vague desire to some day make a game out of the franchise, but as to when and how, who knows. If they want Eastwood to do the voice, they need to get on that because the man just turned 136.
#6. Diablo III
Diablo III is perhaps the most obsessed-over game to never have its existence officially acknowledged. Numerous sites and message boards are dedicated exclusively to a game that's developing into a legend on par with Bigfoot or Richard Gere's poor gerbil.
How much ass would it have kicked?
The Diablo series is what happens when you let red-blooded, meat-eating Americans make a role-playing game. Gone are the androgynous heroes, talking raccoons and quests that revolve around retrieving used panties you find in Japanese RPGs, replaced instead with demon killing. Lots and lots demon killing. Besides Blizzard simply doesn't make bad games, producing literally nothing but genre-defining classics for the past decade plus.
So is there any chance it'll come out?
Unfortunately for Diablo enthusiasts Blizzard North, the division of the company devoted to the Diablo franchise, dissolved a few years back. Several Blizzard North employees subsequently formed their own company and started developing Hellgate: London, a game fans considered a spiritual successor to Diablo II right up until the moment it came out and they realized it was complete crap.
Things aren't all grim though. Blizzard posted job listings on their website back in 2006 calling for people to join the "team behind Diablo I and II" and various Blizzard big wigs have said they would continue work on Diablo in the future. Considering how long it's taking Starcraft II to show up, "the future" seems to mean, "Some time before the sun goes supernova."

Ulman McMullen came to the Brazos Valley in the sixties and watched the television industry change right before his eyes.
More than 40 years ago, Ulman McMullen accepted a job at KBTX-TV and that job forever changed the station and put him on the ground floor of success that at the time, was only a dream. Mac, as everyone he worked with called him, is a media pioneer whose hard work has literally impacted everyone in the Brazos Valley.
On McMullen's first day on the job, a little building sitting off a dirt road on East 29th Street in Bryan greeted him, but it was the people inside that gave him so much more back.
"The station was really just sort of a little box building, very small. Had a little front office and studio and then the control room," remembers McMullen.
When McMullen came onboard at KBTX-TV in 1965, that little box building he describes is where he worked until he retired.
McMullen says, "I came here to be Operations Manager. Harry Gillam was station manager at the time and it was a very, very small operation to say the least."
At that time there were only two newscasts, one at six the other at ten and by today's standards, Ulman kindly calls the operation primitive.
"Our weather boards, we took chalk to write the things on the chalkboard, compared to today's digital stuff. The changes since even I left here in 91 and retired, the changes have just been so dramatic. I always considered myself a little like Lou Gehrig to have been in this industry and certainly to have been in it when I was, today I'm not sure I'd make it," McMullen says.
Even though this humble Brazos Valley media pioneer doesn't believe he'd survive in today's fast pace television world, his ability to adjust back then is what allowed KBTX to become what it is today, a state of the art television station and along the way, he had fun too.
McMullen says, "My best memories of course are memories here from Channel 3 because it was such a close knit group. We really had such a good time together. What the people see on the screen, on their TV sets at home is still the product. Ultimately that's what it's about and that has not changed. Now the delivery system has changed tremendously, but what the people see at home, get on their screens is still what it's all about and what it's always been about."
Ulman McMullen is a wonderful and carrying man who loved working at KBTX-TV because he was among family. Throughout the years, Bob French and Darryl Bruffett have became a part of families all around the Brazos Valley all because of McMullen who proudly points out, he's the one who hired them both.

I would like to know is there a way to break a concave polyhedron into a few convex polyhedron?
The problem of partitioning a polyhedron into the minimum possible number of convex pieces is NP-hard. Bernard Chazelle established a quadratic lower bound—$\Omega(n^2)$ in terms of the number $n$ of vertices—in the paper "Convex partitions of polyhedra: a lower bound and worst-case optimal algorithm," SIAM Journal on Computing Volume 13 , Issue 3 (August 1984) pp. 488 - 507. He also provided a theoretical algorithm in that paper, perhaps never implemented. There has been subsequent work, e.g., "Strategies for polyhedral surface decomposition: An experimental study," Computational Geometry, Volume 7, Issues 5-6, April 1997, Pages 327-342.
Take all planes of facets of your polyhedron. They divide the space onto convex sets. Each of them either is contained to your polyhedron, or does not meet it at all. Take those which are contained.

I know that most nitrogen is fixed through industrial processes and bacterial symbiotic relationships. However, are there any plants that can fix their own atmospheric nitrogen?
There are no known plants that fix their own nitrogen. However, there soon may be!
Because N is the major limiting factor in agricultural productivity, there is huge interest in plant systems which can fix their own. It's important enough that the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation have started a project aimed at reducing dependence on fertilisers by giving plants the ability to fix their own nitrogen. There are several potential strategies, the most obvious being encouraging more species to form symbioses with nitrogen fixing bacteria.
However, there's another proposal which builds on recent discoveries about the mechanism of nitrogen fixing in bacteria: we now know how the crucial enzyme complex is made (Rubio & Ludden, 2008). As a result, there are many people calling for efforts to engineer the system directly into a plant organelle (e.g. Beatty & Good, 2011; Godfray et al., 2010).
So, in 10-15 years time you can check back and the answer to this question might have changed! The most likely answer then will be "just the usual suspects: rice, maize, wheat".
As far as I know, all biotic nitrogen fixation is performed by prokaryotic organisms such as Rhizobium. I don't know of any plants which can carry out this function on their own.
Plants can't use atmospheric N2 because it is held essentially inert by the nitrogen triple bond. The process of reducing N2 to NH3 which is usable by plants can be summarized:
N2 + 8e- + 8 H+ + 16 ATP -> 2 NH3 + H2 + 16 ADP + 16 Pi
(where Pi is a phosphate group)
Nitrogenase catalyses the reaction reducing N2 to NH3 by adding H+ and electrons. The whole process requires 8 ATP and is therefore energy intense.
In order to perform this coversion, bacteria require sufficent carbohydrates from decaying matter or plant vascular tissues (this is how Rhizobium derives energy from the host plant).
However, I should add that bacteria often have a mutualistic relation with the plant to perform this function, so in this sense you could say that plants can fix their own nitrogen.
There are also "free living" ammonifying bacteria in soils.

I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 earlier today. Have to say that it does take quite some getting used to after using Windows 7 but it looks great and I think I'm getting the feel for it. Except for a couple of issues.
For example: I am an experienced GIMP user, and even make money with it. I had a lot of additional scripts/brushes/fonts/etc added to my GIMP when using Windows 7. Before switching OS I made a backup of those files on my external drive. Now I want to put those back into the GIMP installation in Ubuntu.
How do I go about this? I have located the GIMP entry in the 'share' folder, but am not allowed to copy any files to it, the system says I'm not the 'root'. I'm probably doing it wrong; Ubuntu is a whole other world than Windows.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: In general, I might also ask the following question, which will help me with the above and just about all my other issues: - Where are my programs located? In other words: What is in Ubuntu, what 'program files' is in Windows? And are there differences between the two? Can you edit files in Ubuntu like you can in Windows?
Why I'm asking this, is: a lot of stuff you can download from the web comes with a description similar to "download this and put the file in .../.../.../..." Since a lot of programs do not run on Ubuntu, placing in the files manually is the only remaining way to do it, like with the GIMP utilities. Or is there another way?

http://www.ehow.com/how_5656042_use-activated-charcoal-odor-neutralizers.html says that it can eliminate odors, but it only recommends it for small spaces.
When researching air purification you will come across a popular subject.
Ionisers VS Ozoninzer VS Activated Carbon
This makes the air particles that get ionised turn into a 'magnet' because it is statically charges. You know like when your arm hairs rise to a piece of statically charged paper or sweater.
Advantages Is silent and can run anywhere in your home. Does not cause any health problems, it actaully good for people with allergies as it binds to dust and pollen. It will remove smells like cigarretes,smoke and other slight odours.
Disadvantages These particles don't evaporate into thin air.. once the ion binds to its victim it will drop to the floor, or stick to the wall.. in turn if you don't vacume(use a HEPA filter vacume) or clean your walls; overtime the odours can become worse and your hosue will suffer from static dust.
Ozone generator
Ozone has this myth behind it that it kills bacteria and smells. In fact it is very dangerous for all living things.. In large quantities. As far as I know.. ozone has no benefit in any health methods.
Advantages Only industrial advantages.
Disadvantages When used in small rooms it can be lethal, causes lung damage and can kill other living things like plants
Activated Carbon
Quoted Description
Advantages It is highly porous and can adsorb gas,chemicals and liquids in various sequences and reactions. has no side effects.
Disadvantages It does stop absorbing once its saturated.. and could start to realease other harmfull gases if not replaced. You cant just put a carbon block in your room and expect it to adsorb air, it needs a pumping system or filtering system of some sort.
I hope that can answer your question a bit.
I would suggest finding the source of the smell and eradicating it with bleach/soap and/or other freshers/cleaners/chemicals. Then vent your room for 24hours.

7 Terrifying Prehistoric Creatures (That Are Still Around)
#3. Giant Chinese Salamander
Coming in at a tie with the panda bear in the list of real animals most resembling Pokemon, giant salamanders have been plodding around for about 30 million years, which means they survived giant bears and hyenas as big as cows.
Fortunately for us, they are the one creature on this list least likely to devour you and everyone you care about, being nearly blind and feeding mainly on smaller salamanders, worms and crayfish. Although they do get aggressive around mating season, when the males fight over the holes they have dug in the mud, often killing each other in the process. We're scratching our heads over how something this stupid could survive long enough to be a living fossil.
Jesus! Where Do They Live?!
China, the the land that eats monsters. We're still a little nervous about this, because on the one hand, we think they're kind of cute. On the other hand, that's probably just how they sucker you in. After all, something killed all those dinosaurs.
"Dear god, why China? They ate Godzilla's mom! What chance do I have?"
#2. Triops
Quick, is that the name of a prehistoric, three-eyed, hell-shrimp, or a He-Man villain? If you guessed hell-shrimp, you were correct.
Incidentally, every time we watch a horror movie about genetically engineered parasites that escape the lab, there is at least one scene where a human body bursts like a pinata and releases three hundred of these into the world:
Triops have been haunting our waterways and nightmares since the Triassic period, about 200 million years ago, meaning they sent some of the first dinosaurs screaming out of the ponds. Their eggs are damn near indestructible, and if the conditions aren't right, they can just go into suspended animation, lying dormant and unhatched for decades like the alien conspiracy from The X-Files.
Jesus! Where Do They Live?!
Basically everywhere, including your living room, because you can order them online. For those of you whose idea of the perfect pet is "like sea monkeys, but evil."
We're pretty sure Dio songs echo from the tank 24/7.
#1. Lamprey
There's really no way to ease you slowly into the following analogy, so we're just going to go ahead and say it: condoms full of teeth.
If you're thinking those are tiny little worms you might find sucking on the side of your aquarium, think again. These bastards grow to about three and a half feet long, and feed by literally eating their way into the sides of fish until their guts come out the hole.
Lampreys are so old, evolutionarily speaking, that they are barely considered vertebrates, and hardly even fish. The closest thing we have to genuine Lovecraftian elder gods, Lampreys are upwards of 360-million-years old, and are basically the missing link between fish and whatever came before fish. We're guessing devils.
Jesus! Where Do They Live?!
Coasts and freshwater around the world. In the great lakes, they have become a disgusting plague feeding off of other fish, mostly the delicious ones like trout. On the other hand, countries like Finland, South Korea and Sweden consider the blood-sucking spineless worm-fish a delicacy.
But don't worry, lampreys are unlikely to try to eat humans. Unless they are starving.

Suppose $e: B \rightarrow C$ is the coequalizer of two parallel morphisms $f,g; A \rightarrow B$.
Show that if $e$ is monic then it is an isomorphism.
I know that $e$ is epic.
If $e$ is monic then there exists $\alpha \text{ } \beta : X \rightarrow B$ such that if $e \circ \alpha = e \circ \beta$ then $\alpha = \beta$
To show $e$ is an isomorphism, do I have to show that there exists $f: C \rightarrow B$ such that $e \circ f(c) = c$ and that $ f \circ e(b) = b$?
How do I go about proving this?

I've watched documentaries about the solar system, where it is suggested that Venus once had oceans of liquid water similar to those that cover most of Earth today. Venus is now in a period of run-away green house effect and has lost its oceans.
I've always wondered whether the apparent over abundance of water on Earth could be partially explained by our planet sweeping up the water, pushed into Earth's path by the solar wind, after it had been liberated from Venus. I know the consensus on where our water came from is a bombardment of comets - but I've always wondered whether some could also have arrived after Venus heated up.
How stupid is this as an idea?

Crookers' Dialogue
Crookers speak in Italian in between songs, though others believe they are also combining Spanish and Portuguese. They also say some phrases in English, as they are actually proficient English speakers in real life.
Beginning of "Jump Up":
- Italian/Part English: "Senti la musica, senti la vibrazione! Non puo' andare meglio di cosi'! Resident DJ Crookers! Here we go!"
- Full English: "Feel the music, feel the vibration! It can't get better than this!! Resident DJ Crookers! Here we go!"
Beginning of "Kid Conga"
- Italian: "Liberty City! Ci siete, o no??"
- English: "Liberty City! Are you here, or not?"
Middle of "City Under Seige"
- Italian: "Hellmix live, di legendary mala suerte Crookers! Electro-Choc!"
- English: "Hellmix live, of legendary bad luck Crookers! Electro-Choc!"
(Could refer to "Mixhell", a group featured in the mix)
Middle of "Nude Night":
- Italian/Part English: "Maisonette number nine! Numero nove, Maisonette!"
- Full English: "Maisonette number nine! Number nine, Maisonette!"
Beginning of "Bad Men":
- Italian: "E a noi ci piace la birra, le donne e le macchine! Principalmente le donne però, le macchine e la birra ... insieme no. Le donne va bene con tutto!" (laughs)

Some teams will not wrap up the season until Saturday.
The first round of the tournament, which will determine the NVL champion, is now slated for Monday at Holy Cross, with games at noon, 1:45, 3:30 and 5:15 p.m.
The semifinals will be at Kennedy on Tuesday at 5 and 7 p.m. with the All-NVL, All-Brass and All-Copper teams announced between games. The final is slated for Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. at Kennedy.
In the Berkshire League, athletic directors will meet today in Thomaston to reschedule the remainder of the regu- lar season games and the Berkshire League tournament.
The BL champion will most likely be decided when Thomaston and Nonnewaug play their game, which originally was scheduled for Monday but has been on hold because of the blizzard and its aftermath.

I havent ridden a bike since I was a kid. And now I just purchased a second hand one to go to and from work and I found the seat like sitting on a block of wood. It was horrible! What is the best seat to get? I was going to get a large padded one but now after reading some posts saying they were no good, i dont know what to do. I know nothing about this. Please help me. Thanks!

As @Kibbee stated give a little time. Don't expect to be able to do a one hour ride and be painfree the next day. Try to increase your saddle time gradually over a couple weeks. You can do several short rides a day to toughen-up the sore spots. The saddle may not be the only issue. Did you consult with anyone about bikefit? The bike may need some adjustments to fit you correctly. If after a few weeks your body is still complaining take your bike to your local shop. Have them look at your bike and the saddle. Explain to them where the pain is and ask for help in choosing a saddle that fits your body. Most shops will give a fit or comfort guarranty for a certain number of days.`
Big fat padded seats do work well and can be had rather cheaply.
I have recently fallen in love with a Brooks leather saddle. It is basically a leather hammock built in the shape of a seat. They are expensive, so see if you can find someone's you can try before you buy. I stumbled into mine by accident but I know I will never ride on anything else.
Do you ride with padded bike shorts? This is a very worth while option to consider. You can get "baggies" (like MTBers wear) if the tight lycra look does not suit you fashion sense - don't worry - despite what roadies tell you it is NOT illegal to wear baggies while riding on the road :).
The answer depends on how much you ride and your position on the bike.
If you only take short trips and sit upright on the bike, then get a plush big comfy saddle.
If you intend to go on longer rides (1+h), you have a sportier (leaned forward) position on the bike, and want to ride often, then give your current saddle another chance. If your bum is not used to sitting on a bike, it will get sore during the first few rides. However, gradually you will build up more muscles in your bum and legs (taking weight off your bum) and the harder saddle will actually be more comfortable than the plushy one. The reason is that the harder, more minimal saddle will only put pressure on your sitbones, where you contact the saddle. The plushy saddle will deform under your weight and put pressure on your soft tissue.
Leather saddles (like Brooks) are very hard initially, but soften gradually only where your sitbones put pressure on them. Thus, when they're broken in they give support for your sitbones without putting pressure on your soft tissue.

Life is Cheap #4: Your First Alterac Valley as PvE player
Part 2 of the guide on easing your PvE sensibilities into PvP.
OK, so maybe by now you have run an Arathi Basin (AB) or two, maybe your intention is to try Alterac Valley (AV) 1st because everyone has told you it is so much like PvE. Maybe you heard AV was the best way to grind honor.
Whatever the case, I will try to introduce you gently to AV as a PvE'er doing your 1st PvP experience. Yes, I will assume this is your 1st, so excuse the simplicity.
No.1 there where some general tips in the 1st in this series, so check them out if you haven't already.
AV is a large map, it feels more like a world zone than a BG instance. If you have fog of war on, then it is going to be a big blank space.
The things you need to know about the map.
- There is a General at each end of the map.
- Your General is in the base closest to your starting position, the enemy's Is at the other end.
- If you don't head directly towards the enemy base on Offense (O) at the beginning of the fight, there is a good chance you will be stuck at your end of the map (not always true, but it's fair to say you will probably be on defense (D) for the rest of the battle)
- There are capturable grave yards dotting the map from top to bottom. If you hold a GY, you can respawn there. If you hold no GY, you respawn in your starting tunnel.
- There are towers and bunkers and mini-bosses for you to destroy.
Victory conditions
There are two ways to win AV:
- Kill the enemy General before they kill yours (simple right?).
- Battle of attrition. For every PC death the reinforcement count of that side is reduced by 1. (you can increase the rate of new reinforcements by controlling towers/bunkers and mines -which of course adversely effects the enemy.) Once reinforcement numbers reach 0 the battle is won (or lost depending on which side you are on and the number of "way to loose noobs" comments in BG chat.
As mentioned in the previous guide death is not necessarily a bad thing, although remember it does reduce your reinforcement numbers.
The other bonus of death in AV, is sneaking past bottle necks or turtles to go to another GY.
How to do it
As soon as you release, run away from the spirit healer, towards the other GY you want to respawn at.
Things to consider:
- The other GY doesn't have to be capped yet, but it does for you to respawn.
- Just because you own the GY now doesn't mean you will by the time you arrive (I have spent some frustrating AVs running from one uncapped GY to another).
OK time to interrupt with a silly story.
One AV I just couldn't get past a turtle while alive, so I ghost ran, right up the map, through the thronging horde to a GY.
Thing was the spirit healed wouldn't give me a rez timer (obviously WoW was bugging out). In the end I ran all the way to the enemy base trying to find a GY to Rex in.
That's when I realised I had been alive the whole time (1 sec Rez timer ftw), and I had somehow run the whole map unscathed.
OK, back on topic…
AB has some quests (whoops, forgot to mention that last time) but AV has heaps more. Some are basically PvE quests, others are more PvP in that they can influence the outcome of a battleground (especially a long one).
They are also a great way to get to know a little bit more about AV
So feel welcome to explore the quests, most of which are obtainable at your home base.
But just hope someone doesn't flag you as AFK, ala Snake in the grass.
OMFG, loot drops, oh man let me in!
Well no, you won't be picking up purples in AV. But NPCs and players alike do drop "rubbish". This rubbish is the quest hand ins required for improving NPCs, calling air strikes, summoning elementals etc.
Remember to loot
Remember to hand this rubbish in before the enemy overwhelms your base and kills the quest givers.
- If you are on D, frequently looting and returning to base is good.
- If you are on (Offense) O, frequently looting and occasional returns to base isn't a bad thing either.
…leap like lemmings off a cliff…
Home base
OK, this is a good place to start in your 1st BG, at least to get the layout, if not to get the quests.
How do you get there? Well let's take a step back…
Before the battle for AV.
Before the battle starts do the usual buffing etc, then move up to the gate. You can't mount yet, so just wait impatiently…
Battle begins.
OK, I only know this from the Alliance perspective, hopefully one of my readers will give the Horde version.
The gate opens and everyone surges forward, about 10 steps.
Why did they stop?
To mount of course!
Then the mass of warriors will surge forward. The majority of them will stream off around the mountain to the left. However, a few will reach the 1st corner and seemingly leap like lemmings off a cliff… because that's the shortcut to base (You can also do a sharp right turn after the starting tunnel around the mountain, then turn left to drop down on top of the mine).
Anyway, once you have hit the ground running, with a big thud (ironically, right in the middle of the Iceblood GY), run straight ahead towards the bridge and you home base.
Back at home base
Before you cross the bridge you will notice a flag guarded by NPCs – This is the 2nd last (well 3rd really) line of defense. Over the bridge you will see bunkers to the left (South Bunker) and right (North Bunker). You will be defending and retaking these as much as possible.
Just after the north bunker is the home base (Aid Station) GY flag (Your last (or 2nd last) line of defense) and near that your General's stronghold.
They are the key landmarks – get to know them so you can protect them.
Check with the quest givers and see what you can do.
Go O!
Your other option (instead of defending 1st time around, or in subsequent visits to AV) is to follow the masses to the front line. There is rarely a shortage of DPS heading to the front line (living is rarer), but tanks and healers always seem to be in short supply.
Unlike other battlegrounds, there is definitely a place for protection spec'd toons. There are hard hitting NPCs ahead and many an AV has been lost awaiting the arrival of tanks and healers at the front line.
If you die on the way to the front line don't despair, just head back in the same direction, or if after repeated attempts you just can't make it, ghost run to and accessible GY.
PvE Elements
So where are the PvE bits you ask?
Yes initially you will only see the nasty opposition players running and riding full tilt in you direction (most, not all, will ignore you in their race to the front) – but once you are at the front lines you will start to encounter:
- Wolves and Rams (for quests)
- Mine guards
- NPC patrols on the roads
- NPC guards at GY and towers/bunkers
- Captains (Balinda Stonehearth & Galvangar)
- Generals (Vanndar Stormpike & Drek'Thar) and their mates
Wolves Rams and NPC patrols: can be ignored and avoided as required.
Mine guards (Kobolds & Troggs): only a concern if you are taking a mine and and at level 70 it's like boosting in the deadlines.
- NPC guards at towers/bunkers and GY: these guards belong to the side that controls the resource.
- GY guards: Kill and take flag (or just take the flag).
- Tower/bunker guards: only exist (and respawn) until the tower is destroyed. Kill them and take the flag (or stealth past them and take the flag – even as a Mage) – unless you are BRK, in which case you only take the tower at 1/2 health and against overwhelming odds -kill them all!
Captains (Balinda Stonehearth & Galvangar): one each side. May or may not be killed. If they are, it's like a standard tank and spank from a heroic.
Generals (Vanndar Stormpike & Drek'Thar)
OK, you made it all the way to the enemy base, took the towers (or not), took the GY (or not) and cleaned up the player defenders.
Now is the time for glory!
Someone nearly always takes charge at this point, usually a tank (all that PvE group leading experience).
Buff up, mana up and wait for the call – "ALL IN"
Charge into the bosses room and don't leave until one of two things occurs:
- General is dead, or
- You are dead
Once the General is engaged you must not leave the room or the boss will reset – which makes people very, very angry!
You will be facing the General and several Marshals (Alliance) or Warmasters (Horde) for every tower left standing (which is why it is a good idea to destroy enemy towers, while holding your own. Easier for you, harder for them.)
Once again, standard tank and spank. The only thing to watch out for with this boss is whirlwind.
Just remember when you hear "ALL IN", go in and STAY IN!
One last thing, there is a quest in AV for a trinket (Stormpike Insignia/ Frostwolf Insignia). This trinket can be upgraded each time you reach a new reputation tier. It has a few stats including frost resistance (someone scared of frost mages?). But it's special ability is it will port you back to home base to defend/hand in quest items. There is no reason not to get it, so go get it!
Gnomer and Out!

Short for Monica. The hottest girl you know. Some have seen her around Rhode Island, but her original place of origin is in VA- 804 beyotch! Her hair is naturally curly, but dont be fooled because occasionally she will straighten it. No one knows the exact color of her eyes but be advised- she is extremely hot and if you ever get the chance to go out with her, just hope she likes you as much as you like her, if its possible....
Man, have you seen moni? If she gets any hotter we will all melt.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A Moni, is a high pitched bulgarian squirrel. It is usually very short, and acts as a pest in the animal, and human society. At a first glance, this creature might appear human, but after getting a closer look and better experience the Moni's personality, you may want to harm this creature. But, beware, for it has vocal cords similar to that of a human, like a parrot, which is what makes it so high pitched. This creature develops grudges against those who have reason to dislike it (everyone!)
Moni Kineti is an example of a Moni. (They all start with Moni.)

I have heard that one can think of stacks on a site as taking sheaves but instead of the restrictions being equal, we just loosen it to isomorphic, and treat the sheaf conditions with the "obvious" coherence relations.
How seriously can one take this analogy? Note that my background is stacks is feeble at best.
I hope this question isn't too vague. One may choose to respond to this question with "That analogy is stupid because of __ gotcha".
Thanks in advance!

After a three-day conference in Montgomery with Chief Justice Cobb, local lawmakers are working together to find ways to stop overcrowding in our prisons.
"The prison population is almost double the capacity in the state prisons. The biggest concern is without building any new prisons in about 20 years from now we won't have space to house truly violent offenders...The murderers the rapists the robbers and so that's really the overall concern is where we're going to be in ten, 20 years from at the current rate of incarceration," said Houston/Henry County Judge, Brad Mendheim.
"One way local judges are considering solving that problem, especially in our area, is by starting something called drug court," said reporter Danielle Eldredge.
"It's a very intensive program of treatment as well as court involvement the people come in front of the judge on almost a weekly basis for the judge to monitor their progress and make sure they're obeying the rules in addition to their treatment program," said Mendheim.
Mendheim says it's a cost effective way to successfully rehabilitate nonviolent offenders.
"Ideally in drug court because it is a long-term program the person will actually pay the cost of going through the program in monthly or weekly payments. They would be under court supervision so essentially the offender by the end of the program would have paid for their treatment," said Mendheim.
The program has been tested in other Alabama counties as well as around the country. Mendheim says it's proven to be a successful way to both rehabilitate criminals and reserve jails for those who are violent offenders and pose a direct threat to the community.
Local officials are working together to qualify for a federal grant that would allow them to start the program.
If all goes well drug court will be in session January 1st, 2011.

In grades 3-8 for English language arts (ELA) and mathematics, Louisiana has chosen to adopt the assessments developed by The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC). PARCC is a group of states working together to develop high-quality assessments driven by the following priorities:Determine whether students are college- and career-ready or "on track"
Assess the full range of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), including standards that are difficult to measure
Measure the full range of student performance, including the performance of high and low performing students
Provide data during the academic year to inform instruction, interventions, and professional development
Provide data for accountability, including measures of growth
Incorporate innovative approaches throughout the assessment systemLouisiana has been a member of the PARCC consortium since its inception. As a result, many Louisiana educators at the school, district, state, and college/university levels have and are continuing to serve on
various committees. These include, but are not limited to, the development of PARCC's policies and procedures and the extensive review of PARCC's assessment questions.Source: Louisiana Department of Education

Why does procrastination tend to block everything productive I want to do, rather than just the task I'm trying to avoid?
I have a report to write up for next week and I've been procrastinating on it for days. The way I'm procrastinating is surfing the web endlessly. What's interesting is that it's broken some of my other daily habits--which for myself to do but also enjoy--such as reading, drawing and working out. Doing those things would be make me avoid the task just as much, and yet I can't bring myself to do them.
Are there any theories (known or your own) about why that happens?

I hadn't heard of one, but apparently one happened for UK residents. Top prize was a golden joystick thing and having your face digitized in every future Hitman game.
Hour of streamed gameplay here, probably has some spoilers for the first mission. It's narrated by a few guys who I guess are devs? They're from IO anyway. I'm listening to it as I type this and it sounds interesting enough to post.
Now this is kind of clever.
Can't wait.
Really. I literally decided against waiting and bought a copy of Blood Money about an hour ago. Looking forward to that over the next week. Must be kind of a rare game now, it cost more than expected and took months to find.
Nah, you can find that game for £8/$12 on eBay and on the platinum hits range. Pretty sure it's on Games on Demand, too. There's usually a trend where if a sequel is announced and/or close to release, people tend to boost the price of the predecessor to cash-in.
Yeah, Prototype went from $12 new to about $30 around P2's release.
That probably explains the cost. Still took a while for it to show up in my area though. I've been checking on it occasionally for months and it just showed up the other night.
Pretty spectacular game regardless. And I got Silent Assassin on the Opera House, so yay.
Conan O'Brien did a quasi-review (not sure what else to call it) -
While the video itself is entertaining, the game seems to have been actionized for a newer and less patient audience. In one part, Conan crouch-walks directly in front of an enemy without being seen. Most of the clip is him shooting things. A guy also gets put into a wood mulcher.
Glad overt violence is a more valid option this time around but hopefully they went a little deeper than that. The whole point of Hitman is subtlety, like in Blood Money where you set up all those elaborate death traps. Although I have to admit I'm not playing it in a very clever fashion myself. I went through most of the game last night and by the time I was done, I was just shooting people and running for the exit.
Last edited by Sir Legendhead; 11-15-2012 at 08:25 PM. Reason: removed two observations after realizing it was just the video making them look weird
Full review here (and I think they liked it): http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/18/hi...lution-review/Watching a target, planning how to take them out, executing on that plan and exiting without a trace feels outstanding, every time. It's a feeling that the Hitman series is famous for and one that translates beautifully in Hitman: Absolution. The signature kills are intelligent, too, forcing players to know all of the working parts that go into each level. One signature kill, for example, allows you to set up a scenario where a target is killed by another NPC based on your interaction with the world, hearkening back to the fantastic opera house level in Hitman: Blood Money.
That multiplayer challenge mode sounds wonderful!
I'm really glad that it looks like they've made a lot of options outside of their specific Silent Assassin signature kills actually viable this time around. My problem with the Hitman games has always been the trial and error nature of figuring out precisely how the designers wanted you to play the level instead of figuring out your own bad-ass method on your own. Every thing beyond their methods seemed to be actively penalized instead of rewarded. Blood Money presented a pseudo-sandbox, but frankly there weren't all that many ways to get through the level without it devolving into one long and incredibly awkward gun fight, partially due to the bizarre AI. I can't wait for this to get here tomorrow. The contracts mode sounds like sheer mad brilliance.
From the reviews this sounds amazing, I forgot it was coming out so soon.
Regarding Blood Money, it's a relatively hard game to find. People are probably reluctant to trade it in. I got my original copy stolen and for over a year I couldn't find a copy of it but finally did.
Well, it's more difficult to find it under 30 dollars in decent condition. Especially the Xbox 360 version, which is generally a decent amount more expensive. There is a boxed collection of all 4 games available on Amazon right now for 12 bucks and, if I didn't have most of them already and I weren't a poor college student, I would be all over that shit.
Oh shit. My Gmail inbox currently has 47 emails in it. This must be a sign. And yes, that is more-or-less true, but often 30 dollars is the absolute low point for one that doesn't look like it was used as a Frisbee on more than one occasion. Used games make me so sad sometimes.
The game (blood money) is also zero dollars on Squares streaming service.
Just have to watch some ads.
Man, FUCK Wal-mart. I drove out just now because I didn't want to wait 'til morning for my Gamestop preorder and guess what. They printed their store tags directly over the box art. Just like they did with Sleeping Dogs. Not a sticker. Printed. Tacky little cunts. So be warned about that. Did not buy.
And yeah, I'm enthused for contracts myself. There should be a Dtoid thing for that -- not an FNF but something like it. The thought brings out my inner Jigsaw. I wanna make deathtraps for you guys. <3
Last edited by Sir Legendhead; 11-20-2012 at 02:57 AM.
Spent almost 6 hours playing and it may be time for bed. I like it a lot, but if you go in expecting another Blood Money you will be disappointed. It has elements of a old Splinter Cell and has some elements of Hitman, they definitely wanted to make a new game and that game is pretty damn good. But again, it's not Blood Money 2.

Connecticut Developmental Services workers showed courage
Now that most communities are in the final phases of recovery from our history-making Feb. 8-9 blizzard, I want to thank the thousands of staff members who support individuals served by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS). More than 20,000 public- and private-sector staff members work with persons with intellectual disability in more than 900 group homes and other settings.
The blizzard presented enormous challenges to staff members. Some needed to work multiple shifts until they were relieved. Many of the people they support needed assistance preparing meals, receiving medications and getting reassurance from a friend that everything was going to be OK.

Ed, could you edit the topic title? PartDB2 is the old project name, PartKeepr is the current one.
Too bad that there's no hotfix for the scrollbar issue - I might need to workaround that by restricting the number of results per page (which is a very dirty approach). Additionally, there seem to be some issues regarding Ext.draw.* stuff (either real bugs or documentation issues, I'm not sure - I have given up after several hours and moved on to other parts).
I'm looking forward to create a 1.0 release including an installer as soon as possible, but I don't think it'll be possible prior SenchaCon (which I'd love to attend and/or give a talk about PartKeepr, but Open Source developers are poor )
17 Aug 2011 1:49 AM #12
Thank you very much! No, I'm not using the MVC structure yet, but planning to do so.
Although PartKeepr is already pretty solid OO, there is still much potential for improvements. I try to avoid as much duplicate code as I can, so there might be more cleanups in the future.
Things that might be interesting for others:
* I'm using a tabbed editor model, which means that a Ext.data.Model record (may it be flat or with relations) can be edited in its own tab - there's already some basic support for things like "You have unsaved changes in <model> - do you really wish to close this tab?", but unfortunately there is some bug with the dirty flag which I need to address.
* A model can be serialized including relations - so you actually can build up a whole tree of objects and push them to the server. A good example for this is the Part model, which contains references to manufacturers, distributors, attachments and parameters. Nothing of those are transmitted to the server unless the user clicks "save" (except images, which are stored in a temporary table on the server) - and the "save" process transmits a nested object to the server, no individual requests. Multiple requests are troubling when dealing with database transactions (which PartKeepr actually uses in some places).

Just a quick update: PartKeepr unfortunately didn't made it into the Top10 of the app contest
Also I'm in rehab right now, so I can't work on PartKeepr regularly. If you wish to help PartKeepr out (might be a good chance to get into ExtJS4/PHP/Doctrine2 development), go ahead! I am idling in #partkeepr on Freenode often, so if you have any questions, just ask! (replies might take a while because of the rehab).
I am back from rehab at beginning of december, so I expect to re-start development then. Also read my post regarding this on http://partkeepr.org/2011/11/08/octobernovember-2011-progress/

too simple business logic..
1. You should have From Purchasing to Good Receive Note to Inventory Item..So the flow is understable.
2. There's a lot more complexity in asset or inventory control.

@allen3d feel free to participate. PartKeepr wasn't designed for that purpose, but I am flexible if you want to implement it.
25 Dec 2011 12:35 AM #17
We've just released version 0.1. With this release, we go into alpha status. This release also includes an installer and support for PostgreSQL and MySQL databases.
I haven't had time to test against Oracle, MSSQL or SQLite yet, but if you like, you can try it out.

Nice Job
Keep up the good work.
Let us know when you have migrated to Ext 4.1 and use the MVC pattern.Perfection as a goal is a nice idea that can point one in a specific direction. However, since "perfection" is an ever changing (evolving?) and moving target, one must admit that perfection can never be obtained...
When in doubt, check the d4mn source code!

Pratt native Payson Maydew , a freshman at Emporia State, finished third to garner All Conference status in the decathlon at the MIAA track and field championships held May 3-5 at Fort Hays State University. Cool windy conditions on both Day 1 and Day 2 of the ten event decathlon added an additional challenge to the already grueling competition. Fourteen athletes from the eleven team MIAA started the competition. Maydew performed consistently over the two days finishing in the top five in 8 of the 10 events. He sat in 5th place overall heading into the final event, the 1500 meter run. He finished 2nd in the 1500, running a career best 4:33.7 to jump two spots and onto the awards stand. Emporia States' men finished 5th in the team standings. Pittsburg State won the men's team title.

I am attempting to encrypty/decrypt a long message in RSA using javascript (with crypto-js and jsbn libraries).
I posted this on stackoverflow too but I figured someone here on crypto might be able to help as well.
so far, to encrypt/decrypt short messages I have the following code:
function encrypt(signedCert, msg) {
key = new RSAKey();
m = asciiToHex(msg);
m = new BigInteger(m, 16)
//n and e retrieved from the digital certificate
key.setPublic(signedCert.msg.subject.pk.n, signedCert.msg.subject.pk.e);
var ctxt = key.doPublic(m).toString(16);
return ctxt;
function decrypt(sk, ctxt) {
key = new RSAKey();
c = new BigInteger(ctxt, 16);
key.setPrivate(sk.n, sk.e, sk.d);
var ptxt = key.doPrivate(c).toString(16);
var ptxt = hexToAscii(ptxt);
return ptxt;
this works like a charm when the message is short. but, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to encrypt/decrypt when the message is long!
can anyone help? thanks :)

Reading at Age Four
Q: I want to begin teaching my four-year-old to read. He knows all his sounds. What are some good books for him to start off with? Software, phonics program, etc.?
A: Four-year-olds learn through play and hands-on activities. Few are ready for formal reading instruction that stresses isolated skills such as the alphabet and phonics. Let your son's interest in recognizing words set the pace for the instruction that you give him.
The key to preparing your child to read is in reading to him as much as you can. Use wordless books so he can read a book through the pictures before he learns to read print. Predictable books are good choices because they have patterned structures, predictable plots, and so much repetition that children can guess what is coming next and start "reading" them. Be sure also to expose your son to the traditional nursery rhymes and ABC and counting books. Read and reread these books.
When you read to your child, run your finger under the words from time to time as you read them. This will teach him that you read from top to bottom and left to right and that letters form words. Soon he will be able to read some of these words.
Other things that you can do to encourage your child to enjoy reading without forcing him to read are:
- Taking family trips to the library.
- Providing him with his own books.
- Sharing a daily reading time with him.
- Talking together before, during, and after reading a story.
- Asking questions about what you have read together, but not making it a right or wrong answer session.
- Knowing your child's attention span and not reading beyond it.

The Colors of the Rainbow
Known as one of the most spectacular light shows on Earth, the rainbow displays seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. A common mnemonic device used to remember these colors is ROY G BIV (or VIB G YOR, depending on the region).
Made of all the colors of the visible spectrum, or white light, the colors of the rainbow appear when white light is bent through a prism. First seriously studied by Aristotle, and then Descartes in the 17th century, this phenomenon was finally fully understood when the physics of light and its reflection and refraction were discovered.
Various cultures throughout the world view the rainbow with different symbolism. In religion and art, the rainbow often symbolizes God's promise of mercy to mankind after the Deluge (Gen. 9.13). The Greeks and Romans viewed the rainbow as the sign of Iris, messenger of the gods, and the Inca and other Native Americans regarded it as a gift from the sun-god. And, of course, there are the fairy tales that tell us there is a pot of gold at the end of each rainbow!

Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.

Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
