(I actually wrote this post a few months ago, but decided now is a good time to actually publish it.)
I am 32 years old, and as far back as I can remember, there has been a pattern of drug and/or alcohol-related death in my family. My maternal grandmother had 13 children; however, I only knew and had a relationship with eight of them. Of the eight I had a relationship with, only three remain—my mother, an aunt, and an uncle. The other five aunts and uncles succumbed to their drug and alcohol addictions. Thankfully, my mother, aunt, and uncle are not on drugs, and only drink occasionally. I'm even more grateful for the fact that my mother has never tried drugs and she rarely drinks.
I'm writing this post because in early March of this year, I found out that the eldest of my grandmother's children – my 70-year-old uncle – passed away from a methamphetamine addiction. I was pretty shocked by the news because never in a million years would I have thought that this uncle would be associated with drugs in any manner. He was bright and responsible, and didn't strike me as the kind of person who would intentionally do himself any harm. After simultaneously learning of his addiction and death, I felt compelled to write my feelings because this manner of death is an all-too-common occurrence in my family, and I desperately want better for us and I'm determined to have a better life.
The cycle of drug abuse and alcoholism doesn't have to continue; it can be stopped. Just because I was exposed to a particular way of life growing up, doesn't mean I have to allow that to take root and manifest itself into life-destroying behavior. I believe that's why I felt the urge to write this post because I can be one of the ones in my family to break the cycle. I knew at a very early age that I didn't want to live like family members who were living to support drug habits. They were all my motivation to do better. Did I have an abundance of resources? Well, yes and no. I had resources in the respect of mentors and those who saw potential in me and encouraged me to excel in school. I also had the courage to talk to my school counselor about how I was impacted by my family members' drug and alcohol addictions. I shared with her that I didn't want to fall victim to that same way of life, and thankfully my counselor pointed me in the direction of resources to further my education. On the flip side, financial resources were very scarce. My mother worked hard, but didn't make a lot of money. Despite that fact, she gathered together what she could and emptied her CD to help me start my college education. Every time I think about that, it humbles my heart and makes me so incredibly grateful for her and her sacrifice. She, too, wanted more for me.
I know that there's so much more to life than chasing the next high. I want to help those in my family realize that we are so much more than our past. We don't have to perpetuate the cycle; we can break the cycle and chart a new course and legacy for our family. Let us learn from the mistakes of those gone before us, and choose life. Will the road be easy? Sometimes yes, but most often it won't be. It's during those times of challenge that we have to persevere and focus on the desire to be better than our past.
I want to be someone my children can look up to and be proud of. I want them to aspire to be even better than the model my soon-to-be husband and I set for them. I don't want them to look at me as talent wasted, or a life not lived to its full potential. I want to inspire drive and determination. I want to inspire the generation after mine to excel even further than the one before. It's like Gandhi said, "The future depends on what we do in the present", and so the time to break this toxic cycle is now.
Non-toxically yours,

Jonjo O'Neill may have been deprived of the services of Tony McCoy, but Barry Geraghty proved a more than equal replacement for the suspended champion when landing the Irish Grand National on Shutthefrontdoor at Fairyhouse yesterday.
The 8-1 favourite, in the first colours among five runners for his owner, J P McManus, travelled well for most of the three miles and five furlongs before being driven hard on the run-in to catch Golden Wonder and score by three-quarters of a length.
The seven-year-old, who gave his jockey a first success in the race, had finished sixth in the four-mile chase at the Cheltenham Festival last month. "He had a great run at Cheltenham and after that we thought this was the race for him," said O'Neill. "Plan B didn't work out too badly! He will have good rest and is, hopefully, OK and we can look forward to next season."
That campaign may well continue along a similar route to the trainer's previous Irish National winner Butler's Cabin, who followed his 2007 win with two fruitless attempts in the Aintree equivalent as the mount of McCoy. Shutthefrontdoor is 25-1 for next year's renewal.
O'Neill has enjoyed a strong finish to the jumps season after Cheltenham Festival wins with More Of That, Taquin Du Seuil and Holywell, whose follow-up Aintree success propelled him to the forefront of betting for next year's Cheltenham Gold Cup.
* Julian Wilson, for more than 30 years the BBC's television racing correspondent, has died at the age of 73. As the lead presenter until his retirement in 1997, he was as much the corporation's voice of racing as Sir Peter O'Sullevan, in an era that must now be regarded as a golden one.Reuse content

End User Computing
End User Computing (EUC) is the emperor's new clothes. It is the new nomenclature for what used to be termed "VDI" (virtual desktop infrastructure). It is, however, much more, encompassing all aspects of desktop and endpoint management: (Read More)
- Application Virtualization: The art of abstracting the application and its presence from the desktop, making it truly mobile across locations and devices
- Personalization Virtualization: The art of abstracting the user and their presence from the desktop
- Presentation Virtualization: An application delivery method that delivers desktops or applications from a shared server
- Desktop Virtualization: The art of delivering a full desktop experience remotely
- Endpoint Management: The art of managing and securing access to data
- Application Layering: "on-demand" application delivery from a single image
End User Computing is an important overarching paradigm for companies that wish to ensure that users get a consistent experience and consistent access to information across multiple devices—for example, desktop computers, laptops, notebooks, tablets, and phones—and across disparate operating systems like Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Major areas of focus include barriers to adoption, progress on the part of End User Computing vendors in alleviating those barriers, and management of the transition from a static desktop to the mobile martini world of "anyplace, anytime, anywhere, on any device."
BriForum: The End of an Era
Thursday marked the closing of the 20th BriForum conference in Boston, Massachusetts, and the end of an era. As the largest independent virtualization industry conference, it's a place where geeks explain how products really work (or don't) and where unfiltered side-by-side comparisons are the norm.
How Would Split DaaS Work?
In a previous article, I suggested that splitting DaaS into separate parts for the broker and the desktops would address some of the challenges of DaaS. Today, I'd like to take a closer look at how this might work.
DaaS with On-Premises Desktops
One of the trends in virtual desktops is Desktop as a Service (DaaS). The premise here is that a cloud provider can run a massive multi-tenant VDI environment well, better than most medium organizations can run their VDI on-premises. The medium or smaller organizations just rent the desktops they need. The assumption here is that desktops are a commodity and any desktop anywhere is just fine. The problem comes with those DaaS desktops accessing data—in particular, desktops at a cloud provider accessing data inside the client's network. The desktop may run just fine, but if every application accessing corporate data slows to a crawl, there won't be many happy users.
Is the Cloud Ready?
The Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference is taking place this week in Toronto (week of 7/18/16), and the cloud is unquestionably its key topic. Many CIOs and CTOs have caught the cloud bug and have openly stated that their infrastructures are moving to the cloud. But what exactly is "the cloud," and is it really ready for prime time?
Windows Phone Continuum: A True PC Replacement?
When traveling on business, ideally I'd carry just a phone, a credit card, and my ID. Reality dictates, though, that I'll need something with a decent-sized screen if I'm going to do more than answer emails. I could swap the phone for a tablet and carry just one device. A 10-inch tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard makes a pretty good laptop replacement, but I need something that I can use to make voice calls without the costs and compromises imposed by VoIP and international data plans.

Warning Hair straighteners.
We have had quite a few toddlers with nasty burns from Mum's hair straighteners recently. Hair straighteners can reach temperatures of 235oC – that's as hot as an iron. In fact, they get so hot you could cook bacon on them. If they can fry bacon, imagine what they can do to a child's skin! Hair straighteners can get hot very quickly – some take just 15 seconds. And they can stay very hot for a long time after you have unplugged them – some are still hot enough to burn after 15 minutes.
Many parents don't know just how easily they can burn young children. So they leave their straighteners to cool down on the floor, bedside cabinet or hanging over the door handle.
The skin of a baby or toddler is much thinner than that of an adult, so their skin burns more quickly and at lower temperatures. Toddlers don't really understand hot and cold, or that heat burns. They don't know to pull away from something that's burning them, which is why they can be so badly burnt. And they won't necessarily learn from experience not to do it again.
Small children can understand the instruction 'hot, don't touch'. But they don't really understand danger or consequences. And they don't have reliable memory, so they may not always remember what they've been told, especially if excited or distracted.
If hair straighteners are left lying around, crawling babies, toddlers and small children can: Grab at them and burn their hands or wrists Step or sit on them and burn their legs or feet Pull them down on top of themselves and burn their face Copy adults and try to use them.
So please: Put them out of reach straight away Put them in a heat-proof pouch if you have one Put them well out of reach and sight, say on a high shelf.
As you will know the car parking availability at South Bar House is often fully utilised and therefore results in patients having to wait for a space. Whilst we have investigated the availability of additional parking there isn't any in close proximity to the surgery.
However we have identified that each day spaces are "lost" to people using the car park but not attending the building or attending but then walking into town. It is too expensive to employ a full time car park attendant to prevent the inappropriate use of the car park but with the support of our landlord we have identified a car park management company who, through the use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras, will be able to identify vehicles that have been parked inappropriately.
In essence vehicles will be identified as entering and leaving the car park. Once identified as entering there is a half hour period of parking allowed, which can be extended by the vehicle owner entering the registration number into a computer within the building. This will then accommodate patients whose appointment has been delayed. If the vehicle has not left the car park by the time the parking period has expired the car park management company will issue a parking charge to the vehicle owner.
The car park management company have experience in working in a number of healthcare environments and have confirmed that, in their experience, this method of managing inappropriate car park use has quickly made spaces more readily available to the patient population.
Further details will be available shortly on signs within the car park, and on information available within the surgery.
West Bar Surgery have made a new prescription service available. In partnership with Pharmacy2U we have launched West Bar Prescription Service. This service does work differently to other chemists as you can be:
Further details are available via this link www.pharmacy2u.co.uk/westbar
West Bar Surgery has a commercial interest in P2UWest Bar LLP, trading as "West Bar Prescription Service" and therefore cannot make any recommendation to you to use this service in preference to any other pharmacy. The GPs do not seek to persuade you to use this service and this letter should not be taken as amounting to any recommendation of this service by the GPs.
Please see the Friends & Family Test page under the Further Information tab to the right of this page. You can enter the survey via this link www.leavemyfeedback.com/4474
To see the views of our patients select the Friends & Family Test page from the list on the right. The latest result shows 95% of our patients would recommend your surgery.
All patients have a named GP.
This GP is responsible for the co-ordination of all appropriate services required under the contract and ensuring they are delivered to each of their patients where required (based on the clinical judgement of the named accountable GP).
The GP you next see will confirm who is your named GP.

Vibration on corrugated roads
2012 GJK LAREDO CRD. Did some miles on some corrugated roads over the weekend. I could hear and feel most of it through the steering column and a pretty loud rattle in the steering wheel centre where you depress the horn. If I put my hand on it and hold firmly it largely goes away. Anyone experienced that and can it be adjusted out? It would become very annoying on a long off road trip.:mad:
Re: Vibration on corrugated roads
Not a common proble. Recommend you visit a dealer to ascertain what has come adrift in your steering.

More than 600 people in China have applied for a one-way ticket to live on Mars in dome-shaped space capsules.
The Mars One project is looking for volunteers to live on the Red Planet and will choose two men and two women to fly there by 2023.
It only costs £7 to sign up to Mars One and hundreds of Chinese have already put their names down.
The project is the brainchild of Dutch entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp who hopes to put man on Mars in at least 10 years.Reuse content

I got the new comic where the TMNT went into Batman's world and all the villians were turned into animals thanks to the ooze. In the end, it was hinted that Batman might got into the TMNT's world and if that happens, what do you think will happen? To be honest the ideas are endless but given that Shredder isn't the ONLY villian in TMNT, what bad guy do you think Batman should fight? It can be a demon, a mutant, a robot, human, or anything. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.Read more >
Hey, guys. So as we all know, "Owari" was the Season 4 finale and in the episode before that "Requiem", Splinter was killed by Super Shredder. But don't worry, because in "Owari", Leo kills Super Shredder out of vengeace and his love for Splinter. Season 5 is going to be the final season of the 2012 era, and they've already started releasing some episode titles, here they are.

I'm back on Turtlepedia and I..honestly don't know what to do from here. I used to be Raph15, but I forgot my password and I didn't feel like going through the hassel of trying to find it so, yay new account! I haven't watched TMNT in a while so I'm basically oblivious to anything passed Season 2 Ep 4, tbh. So...yeah. The important thing is that I'm back and better than ever! Booyakasha!!Read more >
- This is fanfic style so this isnt real.
Leonanarda- Leona has a braided, midnight blue mask and blue eyes along with a blue amulet, which keeps her protected from enemies. In her and her sisters' universe, her boyfriend is Tiger Claw and she has a turtle/tiger hybrid son named Tylernardo.
Raphinaela- Raphina has a red mask and emerald green eyes along with a red amulet, which she keeps safe in exchange of it keeping her safe. In her and her sisters' universe, her boyfriend is Slash and she has a turtle daughter named Salliaela.
Diannatellia- Dianne has a pig-tailed, purple mask and reddish-brown eyes with a purple amulet, which she sometimes fear for the magic inside was dangerous. In her and her sisters' universe, her boyfriend is Casey and …Read more >

I'm impressed. Amazing Adventures #14's backup story Remember That One Time...? is a Mikey and Renet story where a forced romance plot wasn't at all front and center. They meet and share an adventure as friends. Mikey gives her a heart-eyes moment near the end, but there isn't a single kiss and there's even less romance than what Mikey thought he had with Chris Bradford. XD I like them this way; there's some chemistry, but their interaction is far, far more balanced compared to Turtles in Time. Thank you, IDW, for avoiding another romantic plot tumor.Read more >
A user by the name of 'RobertDaller' was blocked a while back..for infinity. he is my brother, and is generally confused by what happened.it said he edited 'nonsense into pages' but he didn't do that! and unless it was consistently?.. why would the block infinity?
He's not super upset by the incident, but would much appreciate an unblock as he'd like to post some blog posts here.and at least wants some answers. so if the admins could please explain. it would be much appreciated.Read more >
Have any of you met a cast member, director, prodcuer or artist who worked on some form of TMNT media? I had the honor to meet Rob Paulsen , Townsend Coleman, Barry Gordon , Phil LaMarr, John DiMaggio , Jim Cummings and Jess Harnell at D.C.'s Awesome Con.Read more >
As a reminder, with SDCC coming up and undoubtedly lots of new TMNT info to add, not to post any images with watermarks outside of official Playmates/Nick/IDW/etc. watermark logos. If you crop an image from one that has a watermark, be sure to credit the site you acquired it from in the image's EDIT portion. The purpose of the "no watermarks" rule isn't to obscure the origin of the image, but to keep the image clean and clear. The official watermark clause is only because a non-watermarked version may not be possible, at least at the time of announcement.Read more >
• It is made a crazy Fangirl and is still on edit. Enjoy!
Abigail Killer/ Abby- She is the younger sister of Tiger Claw and a teenage mutant tigress, just like her older brother. She is shipped with Michelangelo/ Mikey.
Ellahna Banana/ Ella- She is the niece of Dr. Rockwell and a teenage mutant monkey, like her uncle. She is shipped with Donatello/ Donnie.
Ellihanna Growl/ Elli- She is a teenage mutant bear and the twin sister Ellahna Banana/ Ella but she is somehow not related with Rockwell. She is shipped with Raphael/ Raph.
Selene Speed/ Sel- She is a teenage mutant cheetah and Abigail Killer/ Abby's best friend when it comes to mischief. She is shipped with Leonardo/ Leo.Read more >

Because 2017 is the 30th anniversary of the original 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, they should make a movie for the occasion. I would love it if they got the entire original voice cast from the show to reprise their roles. Of course they'll have to find someone that has a similar voice to James Avery for 1987 Shredder. Maybe it could take place sometime after the original show ended back in 1996, where Shredder and Krang find a way back on Earth to get some revenge on the Turtles along with Burne Thompson on their side. And there could be one point where the 1987 Turtles try goin their separate ways only to find a way to come to their senses and reunite for the ultimate battle with some of the supporting characters ret…Read more >
For the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' 35th Anniversary in 2019, I feel there should be a big mega-crossover movie, a live-action/2D/3D-animated version of the 2009 animated film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Forever. Where every incarnation of the Ninja Turtles from 1987, 1984, 1990, 2003, 2012 and 2014 all team-up to battle every version of Shredder, Krang, Bebop & Rocksteady and other memorable fan-favorite villains to save the Multiverse. I truly feel that the voices from the TV shows the 1990 movie and the 2014 reboot should all reprise their roles for such a crossover. And maybe some celebrity cameos of Ninja Turtles fans like Vanilla Ice, Black Nerd, Nostalgia Critic and Angry Video Game Nerd. And even Partners in Kryme and Spunkadeli…Read more >
- This is Fanmade and don't put any bad comments*
Grace Irrilia R. Lemon/Girl- She is a golden wolf with a huge crush on Mikey. She is also Mikey's loyal assistant from time to time.
Salamdria/Snow- She is the salamandrian warrior with a huge crush on Leo. She is the strongest warrior Leo has ever seen.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Episode 11 - Mousers Attack!
If you all take the time to go back to the episode listed above and go to the time provided, you'll notice a hidden TMNT Easter Egg! The producers of the episode might not have noticed that Clancy Brown (who does the voice for Bradford, Dogpound, and Rahzar) slipped in a subtle remark to the cast and crew. The transcript below reveals Dogpound's "Not for kids" moment.
Well, there you have it! Don't believe me? Feel free to watch the episode yourself! It's clear that Dogpound's voice actor decided to let one spill! I mean, it was an intense moment, and maybe Clancy was really, really into the scene! No excuses though, a curse word was slipped in TMNT, and it probably led to many young …

The Magic Sisters- These ninja turtle sisters are tough and powerful. Four quadruplets, two quadruplet twins and one youngest. Their history is complicated but none of them are to be messed with.
Linanarda/Lina- The eldest of the quadruplets. She is a good leader with Leonardo/Leo for a boyfriend and they both are perfect together cause they're both fans of Space Heores.
Mikella/Mika- The second eldest of the quadruplets. She is a tough rebel with Raphael/Raph for a boyfriend and they are both perfect for one another cause they are all hot-tempered.
Laciline/Lacy- The third eldest of the quadruplets. She is a prepared genius with Donatello/Donnie for a boyfriend and they are a great pair since they are both a genius.
Marialine/Maria- The young…Read more >
The Next Generation- Miwa, Gorgia, Dona, Mila, and Jerry are the sons and daughters of the TMNT so they are the next generation with magical powers.
Miwanarda/Miwa- Daughter of Leonardo/Leo and Oruku Karai/Karai. She has snow, ice and wind powers with a touch of snake powers. Her boyfriend is Oruku Kaishi/Kaishi, the teenage grandson of the shredder, she loves Space Heroes and she is the leader of the group.

You know, on second thought, it was wrong of me to crop the Tales of the TMNT frontispiece pages. They're not like comic panels. The entire page is a work of art, and the margins can certainly be part of that effect. I'll see if I can gradually replace those images with uncropped versions.Read more >
Stephen Murphy is probably one of the more controversial TMNT writers there's been. If you haven't heard of him, he used to write a lot for Archie TMNT and for Tales of the TMNT volume 2. And his recurring themes are moral stories about environmentalism and social justice.
So what do I think? To be honest, it's kind of a mixed bag.
I'm originally from a low coral atoll in the Pacific, so global warming is a pretty damn important topic to me. And I think social justice is something people shouldn't forget about, as a matter of humane principle. In this respect, it's not a bad thing to write stories that convey these messages.
On the flip side, I can see how Murphy's morals-of-the-story can be handled...rather inelegantly. For one thing, he…Read more >

Recently, someone I knew invited a bunch of people to watch season 2 with him. He had been watching 2K12 for the first time, and it was all new to him. Being as fond of it as I am, I watched with him. But since it was all new to him, it also felt like I was watching it all for the first time, again, but through someone else's eyes.
I love this series. It captures a part of my imagination usually only reserved for TMNT comics. I love the characters, I love the settings, I love the subtlety, I love the story, I love all the little attention to every detail.
When he finished watching The Invasion, Part 2, I realized I was feeling really, really sad. I knew that, soon after season 3 started, most of what had interested me about the show had …Read more >
It's come to my attention recently that I've become a real eeyore on this wiki. My comments have become all the more negative and sniping. I'd really like that not to be the way things are. I've decided to practice more caution than usual in my commenting, and see what I can do about my eeyore problem. I can't deny it, though—recently has been very difficult for me as a TMNT fan, and it's chipped away at my composure and objectivity. As an editor, I'd really like to be setting a better example than this.Read more >
What they've done to his character since then is so very wrong. It's the character derailment hurt that keeps on hurting. I've been wanting to see more of the deep, subtle, vulnerable, tsundere, catty, sassy, bitingly sarcastic, playful, vain, prima donna, April-competing, Karai-catfighting, Donnie-girl-trouble-counseling, Donnie-saddorable-teasing, Mikey-hugging, Slash-angsting Raph we came to know and love. He was fun! He was interesting! How quickly he went from being the best-written version of Raphael to being one of the worst-written versions of Raphael.
I keep wishing his version in Amazing Adventures at least had more depth to him again, but AA doesn't seem to have done enough to break the rut its predecessor New Animated Adven…Read more >
Earlier in the 2K12 series, I became rather spoiled with fairly decent TMNT TV delivered in 26 episodes per year. Now that the show has long since become mindless shallow phony crap, it's been a weird sensation returning to an older status quo of waiting for new good TMNT stuff to come out at a snail's pace, waiting months or even years at a time for something new that piques my interest.
As much as I love TMNT comics, they're painfully slow to update. IDW TMNT and Amazing Adventures update once a month, and Amazing Adventures' main storylines are maybe 15 some-odd pages of update. MNT Gaiden updates whenever Tigerfog gets around to making a new page, which these days seems to mean one new chapter per year. And just like Genndy Tartakov…Read more >

This may be the most complicated chiptune I've ever done. I actually started it back in April, and wanted to publish it in April. (Yes, I so wanted to make that joke. XD) But everything conspired to prevent me from getting things done. But recently, I felt a burst of fresh motivation, and finally completed it today.
This is from the MegaDrive/Genesis version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. Compared to the Super NES version, it was mechnically a mediocre fighting game. However, what it did have was a first class soundtrack by the now-retired Miki Higashino, better known for composing Salamander/Lifeforce and the Suikoden games. This was also one of the only (is it still the only?) TMNT game where April O'Neil is act…

In the mold of one of my old favorite sports shows, "Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame", hosted by Brian Kenny, I like to follow that mold sometimes for entertainment topics, which I'm about to do here. Let me just say that when I was 5 years old, the third season finale (if you'll call it that) of the original Ninja Turtles series aired. I can only imagine being a fly on the wall and seeing those kids around that age, as well as their parents, as they gathered on their couches that Sunday morning and watched the conclusion of the 2012 Ninja Turtle's Season 3 finale known intimately as "Annihilation Earth."
I'm sure some of you may still question the validity of how and why they had to go up into space. Could Shredder have waited just a quarte…Read more >

As much as I like a good sci-fi or even fantasy product, I can't help but look back on some of the stuff I have watched and refer to either of those two genres as the "Hypocratic Genre(s)". They try so hard to establish another world or different characters or whatever and yet they try just as hard, if not harder, to emulate our own. Science fiction most of all likes to borrow from the fantasy genre to include things such as aliens, magic, supernatural beings and powers, even its technology because, for the most part at least, the devices are usually quite frankly impossible! There are a lot more hypocracies relevant to these genres (a lot of them revolving around the theme of unity) but I'll stick to the main point(s) and the case at hand…Read more >

Good news for Small Business Owners and Halloween

Happy Halloween!
View this email in your browser
Deductions are possible for Halloween Candy
Ever wonder if you can deduct your Halloween candy? Well, if you're a small business owner, it's possible. You can deduct candy you give out, provided you distribute it during a business meeting or business event. Another great way to use candy as a deduction is through advertising for your company. For example, you can purchase and distribute candy with wrappers containing your business information included on them. Or, you can create and distribute Halloween goody bags that contain candy, your business card, brochure or other promotional items advertising your business. This allows you to deduct the Halloween candy you give out as an advertising expense.
What a great excuse to go out and provide treats with no tricks.
Happy Halloween!

The game has a fair amount of good gags; I've been given a quest to Find Jesus which is awesome. Really it's best played in the evenings when you've cracked open a beer. Or better yet go with something herbal which is the traditional way of sampling the South Park/Macfarlane genre of humor.
The key is to find a balance in terms of gameplay. But in terms of visuals, gamers these days don't really want to see the numbers popping up. Which is great because it makes them forbidden fruit and it results in all of us creaming our pants when something like Grimrock 2 or Divinity Original Sin come out and plaster sexy numbers everywhere.Steam: Gundato

It depends somewhat on the type of game you're after, but in general if you obscure most of the numbers from a non-action RPG you're limiting the player's ability to actually make informed gameplay and character-building decisions. The player skill in this case is mostly about how effectively you use the data you gather while playing the game to infer the mechanics. If you provide most of the numbers and rules then the player skill is mostly about exploiting these rules to your advantage.
In action-RPGs you have rather more leeway to obscure the mechanics or use very simple RPG mechanics because you have the player skill of actually carrying out the actions as well. There's still the point that you can't make informed character-building decisions in some cases, but you can make character development much simpler in action-RPGs. For instance you can make your character development streamlined: a choice between "better at shooting", "better at hitting", "better at magic", "better at not dying" say. If these are your only choices in a non-action RPG then your character definition system isn't rich enough, but it should be fine in something like Mass Effect.
One can imagine an action-RPG in which physical player skill is the main significant factor for governing activities such as gunplay, movement, dodging and so on, but in more non-physical activities such as character interactions you have a RNG-based game that relies on character skill and player decisions, analogous to combat in a non-action RPG.

You say "limits the ability to make informed decisions", but someone else might say "Creates a disconnect between my skills as a player and my character". Hell, I LOVE the super complex character sheets (seriously, I have bought PnP rule books just to roll characters and embrace my inner munchkin, not even to play), but I also won't pretend that games can't be streamlined.
Take Demon Souls and Dark Souls. In Demon, to be a mage you needed to bump up your (Note: All of these names are probably wrong :p) int to be able to cast spells and to affect the power of your spells as well as your magic skill to affect your mana bar. And another attribute if you wanted to cast Miracles (cleric spells). You also had three separate stats for your equip load (what you can wear), your inventory load (what you can carry), and your stamina. Dark Souls simplified this drastically by making one stat for sorcery, one stat for miracles, getting rid of mana, making an infinite inventory capacity, and merging the equip load and stamina attributes. And it worked great (although, they are decoupling the last bit for Dark Souls 2).
Or look at Dragon's Dogma, where you have a pretty decent character sheet but the only stats you really influence are your physical attack and your magic attack (the rest increases naturally). And you don't even have direct control over that, it just increases when you level up based on what class you are. People who want to min/max can look at the progression tables, but everyone else just knows "if I want to use magic, be a mage or a sorceror" and what not.Steam: Gundato

Of course you can always choose a very light system for your game too whether it's an action-RPG or a non-action-RPG, for instance if you want to focus on a narrative game and just have some light gameplay essentially as a side-dish. I don't particularly have an opinion on whether obscuring mechanics is a good idea or a bad idea in such a game. My intuition is that it doesn't make much difference.

Still playing The Banner Saga. I'm not sure how far into the game I am, but the map-level metagame just took a pretty shocking turn, and I've only got myself to blame for it. The choices you make in this game certainly feel like they have a huge impact on the story - I'm already looking forward to a 2nd playthrough, just to see how I could have done things better. I love this game.
I'm playing the Tyranid campaign in DOW2: Retribution and also leveling a bit in the multiplayer in Bad Company 2. I also beat the golem in Terraria officially finishing my playthrough of that. I love the progression style in that game. It's just so satisfying.

"I'm too big of a hothead, I've got a history, I've got implants...take your pick."
There are lots of tabletop games that avoid randomizers and some of them would translate nicely into the PC space. At the very least the classic "roll+modifier" dnd-like way of doing things isn't nearly as ubiquitous in the table space as the PC space, and there's a lot PC gaming could learn from innovations in table-top board and RP game design.
PC games can make the whole tons-of-stats-and-modifier-heavy-dice-mechanics thing work WAY better than it does on the table, for sure. There are just other ways to go about it.
Also if you can't see how one would make a plausible simulation with determinism or at least with less simulationist-school dice mechanics, there is a world of design you're missing out on. The benefit to dice, I feel, is not that they simulate. Rules simulate. Dice mechanics evoke. Having to check that your character is strong enough to climb the wall simulates reality. Dice evoke reality by creating unpredictability. At least, that's the language I personally like to use because I feel it's more meaningful to distinguish between those two aspects. As an example:
Many games have an extra effort mechanics. The simplicity-itself Ghost/Echo confers an extra die to actions for which you are particularly prepared, FATE gives you Fate Points you can spend to do better at actions that speak to the heart of your character and that you can gain by giving in to your character's weaknesses, etc. CRPG games rarely have this extra effort mechanic; ways in which you can use expendable out-of-world resources to change the outcome of the game at points that are too important to you, your character, or both to be left entirely up to the stats and the dice. Critical Hits are dull as dirt. Give me Critical Points that I can spend with a button press to do critical damage a limited number of times per game level, per character level, per game, or what-have-you. Let the game cop to it's gameness and give me shortcuts through which to engage with the simulation. Meta gaming happens inevitably in CRPGs; design your game to embrace that and make it part of the system rather than a weakness.
This evokes reality. It's that moment where the character tries really hard or where all of their actions and decisions and developments come to a head to help them get out of a fix or make the right decision. It's the moment where they put everything on the line and make it across that line at some great cost elsewhere. Simulation can't do that for you and in order for dice to do that for you they have to step outside of mere simulation. I can create dice mechanics that make no effort to simulate and create realism but are extremely evocative of particular experiences due to the way in which they use unpredictability and chance to engage the player in decision making; I can create a game that feels more real than the most convoluted and sophisticated of war games because it forces you to make the kinds of decisions and face the kind of mental (though not emotional) pressure faced by the characters. The "simulationist" approach is often-times, I feel, less real and immersive. You have to grapple with abstract, gamified systems representing concrete things; you have to make gamified decisions in real situations. Clever design gets you away from that to evoke the experience of trying to perform tasks under fire where a detailed rule system does not. Clever design forces you to game the system in a way that's more like the real experience than the ways you would game the simulation. Clever design doesn't just think about where it puts it's dice and stats and rolls, but where the loopholes are. Because you will have loop-holes; the trick is making them work for you.
The trick with PC design, too, is that some of it's apparent ability to mask all of this dice-rolling isn't very useful on second glance. By hiding some of this simulation and mechanic you're not delivering a lot of information to the player. The player doesn't necessarily experience the detail of the rules being layered into the background dice-rolling very well. Creating an overly complex simulation can lead us into a very strange place unless you take the utmost of care to provide reliable feedback in-world. Far Cry 2 is a nice example of providing that sort of feed-back with a lot of it's systems in a way few RPG games do. Fallout 3 took a different tack but it did alright. At the same time that granular approach took away almost as much as it added; upgrading stats had a severely limited effect and it was the perks that really made leveling up work properly and created proper mechanical exploration of the world.
A lot of lighter designs and board-game designs grok all of this. They create experiential play states. They make rules that understand they are rules rather than rules that try to disguise themselves as laws of physics. In FPS games, that sort of thing works a bit better, and in games that blur the lines between action game and RPG I would say something similar. But I think PC gaming has a lot to learn about how to best apply RPG mechanics to games.
We're players. We play games. We exploit them. We need to design games that are meant to be played and exploited if we really want them to shine. PC gaming has a lot of trouble understanding that, I feel. That is an understand that comes from maturity in the medium's relationship with it's audience that tabletop gaming has reached, film flirts back and forth with, TV has really come to grok over the course of my lifetime, and PC gaming really struggles with.

Having owned it for a while but generally being one to avoid 'Alphas' and 'Betas' I recently gave-in to temptation and installed/played a bit of 'Sir! You are being Hunted!"
It seemed, to me, that it's been around a while and would be on the way to being a game - but - err - it's not really is it?
I love the atmos and there's the bones of a game there but it's FAR from being something I'd want to play as-is?
Far too much walking - far too much random crappy loot - sound isn't really helping me place stuff in the world (essential in a sneaky game) etc.
Worst part is you'll often simply find yourself surrounded by robots and with no sign or clue of a piece of the item to be seen anywhere - I think I managed to walk for over 20 mins without seeing anything useful at one point (and I'd long since lost track of the way back!!)
I'll look again in another year perhaps - maybe - but this is what happens when we pay people before they've done their job fully I suspect (see also Desktop Dungeons which took WAY WAY too long to make it to a finished state)

I think I may give up on my play-through of Thief. As much as I appreciate what the game does (and it is quite fun when everything comes together), I find that it's often too frustrating to be worth it. Granted, it may just be that I'm terrible at the game, but I find the level design to be incredibly confusing in a way that completely kills any enjoyment I may be having with it.

Of course as you say you can abandon any pretence at simulation and just make a gamey game system. I don't have any problem with that, but the original point related to being against dice rolling in principle, which is essentially a statement that you don't want any RPGs to attempt a plausible simulation of reality. This would seem like a massive waste of potential especially when we have powerful machines that will happily do computations for us instantly.Irrelevant on further examination of the rest of the thread.
Theif II is a far better game. Consistently excellent levels, superior plot, more ways of approaching puzzles, more opportunity to play with systems. The sort of things which make for a timeless gaming experience.
Thief 2 is a better game when it comes to stealth experience but Thief is pretty balanced in many aspects: you can get the whole narrative structure in the first minutes of the first mission along with Garret's monologue which introduces locations and puts the player into the thief role. So yeah, thief's storytelling is supposed to be a major thing pushing players forward. Story's a bit meh but doesn't really matter

But the burricks. Screw the burricks, man.
I think Thief is fascinating as a concept and thing to interact with but I don't think it's anything special beyond its innovation in terms of a game.
I just think there are not many games allowing locations to get their own dimension like in thief. Once the babbling is done and game mode starts there's a lot of content to milk, then it's all about gameplay and space (items, stuff to read, talking whatever the narration goes through).
I'm going to give starseed Pilgrim some more time, I think I'm in a good rhythm and I've possibly exorcised all of the mystery from it, but it's gained a different valued It's become a harmonic puzzle like tetris or a match 3, it's got layered cartography where YOU draw the map.
That's special.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

Well, I managed to push myself through the Thieves Guild, which is apparently one of the worst levels in Thief, so I'll give the game another shot and see if I can get into it, especially considering that the next level (The Sword) is apparently quite good.

One more thing won't hurt syndrome
- By Kevin Martineau
- July 13, 2015
- 11 Comments
Have you've ever said these words before? One more thing won't hurt. I have many times.
I can get involved in another community project.
I can add another event into my week.
I can take on an additional ministry.
The problem is, in the majority of these situations, one more thing did hurt.
It led to higher levels of anxiety.
It led to hostility – blaming my overload on those around me.
It led to depression.
I call this the "one more thing won't hurt" syndrome and it is prevalent everywhere. We see it in our workplaces, our churches and our homes.
What is the solution to the "one more thing won't hurt" syndrome?
Richard Swenson in his book "Margin" says:
"Each of us needs to seek his or her level of involvement and not let the standard be mandated by the often exorbitant expectations of others." (pg. 59)
This is not easy but it is necessary.
Swenson goes on to say:
"We must understand that everyone has a different tolerance for overload and a different threshold level when breakdown begins to occur. It is important for us to set people free to seek their own level." (pg. 59)
This is very similar to Pastor Wayne Cordeiro's principle of "The Plate" which states that every person has a certain-sized plate based on their skills, gifts, life season, health, etc. Not all our plates are the same size, and that is the way God designed it.
How can we determine our "plate" size and live accordingly?
1. We must choose and establish our priorities.
We must decide what is of most importance and if adding one more thing is going to affect our ability to achieve this we need to learn to say no.
2. We must learn the art of setting and embracing our limits.
We can't do it all and we must embrace and accept that and live our lives accordingly.
3. We must learn not to overdraw on our accounts of emotional, physical, mental and spiritual energy.
All of these accounts are finite. There is a point when they will run out. We must choose not to get to this point.
Do you suffer from the "one more thing won't hurt" syndrome? How do you decide the size of your "plate"?

We tend to take more and more work because we either want more money, or we just got into the rhythm. But what good are money for when you have no time to spend them and when you'll pay for medicine in a few years just to be able to get by?
Hi, Kevin. I've started reading Leo Babauta's The Power of Less, and it struck me how much he has accomplished while cutting out the non-essential activities in his life. It's a simple concept, but not easy to wean away from. I've started identifying my priorities and will be cutting some activities going into 2012.
Hi Kevin,
I always enjoy reading your inspirational articles.
It's so important to know our limits, choose and establish our priorities and take every vital step to protect them otherwise we set ourselves up for overload. It took me a long time to learn to say "no" and not feel guilty about it. Now, I can graciously establish my boundaries and stick to them, thus focus my attention where it is needed most for optimum productivity on all levels of being.
Hello Kevin
Another excellent post that really helps one to live a fruitful life. Not adding one more thing has always been hard for me. I reached a time when I had to let go of some things and the things that I continued became more fruitful.
Perry A Davis Jr
Music City
I always know when I overstep my limits, because that is the point where I completely lose my effectiveness as a business person and entrepreneur. More important I get burned out all around.
Give a f**k to every so-called 'must-do' thing which doesn't serve any useful purpose! And you are done with this syndrome! 🙂

Maybe it was because we gave them an award the other day, but the folks at Heroes sure were accommodating to the scrum of TV critics that descended on the show's set Tuesday morning.
We got the chance to look at the show's new sets — the Texas diner where Charlie worked last season is now an Irish pub, for instance — view demonstrations of the show's special effects and, most importantly, pry a few details about season two from the cast. Spoilers (albeit not gigantic ones) coming straight away, starting with:
Sendhil Ramamurthy's character, Mohinder Suresh, has a bunch of children's toys littered around his New York apartment.
"It's a fetish he's developed — this is a spoiler for the second season, the professor has been playing with children's toys," Ramamurthy jokes. "No — clearly there's a young girl who's been living with the professor. If you saw the end of the first season it's fairly obvious who it is. It's a logical leap."
We'll go ahead and leap, then, and venture that Molly, the girl who was Linderman's "tracking system," has been staying with Mohinder.
Ramamurthy also says Suresh "has kind of done a 180 character-wise. He's far more ballsy, which is great. You'll be seeing a much more butched-up professor." He's completed his work on the first three episodes, and said he's done most of his scenes thus far with guest star Stephen Tobolowsky, of Deadwood and Groundhog Day fame. Tobolowsky is playing "kind of a shadowy figure," Ramamurthy says, and that's about as far as that line of questioning goes.
Jack Coleman was also playing coy about the location of the Bennets' new home, which he would only allow is in a different time zone than their old one. Judging by the design of the set — HRG, by the way, is living rather large — the bougainvillea on the outside wall and the backdrop, Southern California is a pretty safe bet.
The move for Noah "HRG" Bennet and his family, Coleman says, was an attempt at keeping a low profile in the wake of last season's events. "But it doesn't take long before keeping a low profile becomes impossible. … There are new secrets, new lies, new things Claire [Hayden Panettiere] and Bennet are keeping from each other. It turns potentially lethal pretty quick."
In other words, fans can expect a return to the ambiguous HRG they saw much of last season, rather than the mostly nice, self-sacrificing guy from the last few episodes.
"I did worry about" HRG becoming too much of a good guy, Coleman allows. "But seeing where we're going in season two, I'm not worried about it anymore. I think he gets morally gray and dangerous pretty quickly."
The magnificently bearded Adrian Pasdar and Milo Ventimiglia were both around, though both kept quiet about their fates in the wake of last season's finale. Conspicuous by his absence, though, was Leonard Roberts, whose character D.L. was last seen clinging to life after taking a bullet for wife Niki (Ali Larter). Heroes creator Tim Kring assured us that we shouldn't read too much into that, but in the same breath noted that Niki is in for some big changes this season.
Also on set was Zachary "Sylar" Quinto, looking decidedly not dead. "I'm allowed to say you haven't seen the last of him," Quinto says of his character. "But the landscape in which you find him at the beginning of season two is alarmingly different than the landscape in which you found him at the end of season one."
Alarming for him or for us?
"Both, I'd imagine. But definitely for him."

Apple patent aims to make blurry images history
Apple is aware that iPhone photography is often laggy and blurry. In a patent uncovered today by Apple Insider, Apple writes that:
These image capturing devices typically use a preview resolution for capturing a preview image of a scene. Subsequently, a user provides an input to take a photograph. The device switches from preview resolution to full resolution prior to capturing an image. Switching from preview to full resolution causes a time lag, which may lead to user frustration. Also, camera shake during the time when a user presses a button or touches a touchscreen can degrade image quality.
The patent then goes on to offer a solution. Instead of waiting until the user presses the capture button, the iPhone's native camera app will continuously take photos and once the image is "captured" by the user, it will present the photographer with the best photo, based on a series of steps that determine whether the photo is clear.
We've seen similar tech at work in Samsung's Best Shot feature and BlackBerry's Time Shift feature -- perhaps this latest patent is a sign that Apple is paying close attention to its competition, as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has warned it needs to do.

Sounds like Nikon 1 J1 best photo selection
1. there are already cameras like this on the market, not just on the drawing board
2. I remember that over a decade ago, there was already an eyeglasses camera that did exactly this: continually shoot pictures, and when you press the shutter it selects the already recorded image. what's more, you could even go back a number of frames, in case you missed the moment (finger lag instead of shutter lag).
Hopefully they will make broken screens and dropped calls 'history' also.
I wonder if Apple will ever come up with similar ground-breaking technology to prevent iPhone call drops...
...just like the touch pad design already shown in the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" from 1968!
Or something trivial, like rounded edges,
which can be found on devices since thousand of years, like plate...
...for several reasons:
To avoid damage of the device, or by the device...
...even pillars have rounded edges, for some reasons,
...it is said, that even humans have those rounded edges...
...even apples were invented earlier by nature -
who is holding the according patents?
...probably the snake - or Eve, or Apple???
Smart-bones for dogs...
...errr wait, in Stanley Kubrick's "2001" the smart-bone for apes was already shown!
And don't steal my "smartbone" invention!
It can be written and used in several ways...
...just exemplary a few examples:
Smart-bone, Smart - Bone, smartbone etc.
and can be used as description of devices or just for fun...
...to enhance living, or make a living...
...but only with a valid licence and / or direct permission from me.
it's called prerecord.
The title says "Apple patent aims to make blurry images history", implying that they have some new way to make pictures less blurry. When I started reading the description and they were talking about taking multiple shots I was thinking, "Wow! They've come up with some fancy way to combine information from multiple images to produce 1 sharp image!"
But no, they just pick the least blurry shot of the set, And what if they're all blurry? I think the title is misleading.
I sure miss the days when Lawyers filed provisional patent applications from patent disclosures written by Engineers themselves, who were busy bringing the innovations to the marketplace.
These kinds of patent applications are more the product of Lawyers who pursue the patents (if ever issued) as commodities to be sold, traded, or (more commonly) used for patent trolling and trouble making.
sadly, this approach, of preloading the buffers with images, will in itself cause latency.
It is called BSS, Best Shot Selector and was introduced years ago in the CoolPIX line by Nikon. This one is a variant of the same concept and is adopted in a good number of digicams, pro and consumer alike. Glad to see it in a smartdevice too...
Casio did this many years ago. The camera took "photos" before and after the shutter is pressed.
