KCPD warns Occupy KC to immediately take down all structures
By Evan Harmon
Police officers from the Kansas City Police Department showed up at the Occupy KC camp in Penn Valley Park to inform the Occupiers that all structures, including tents, will no longer be tolerated. The cordial cops showed up at the park early Tuesday evening and politely warned members of Occupy KC that if they do not immediately remove all structures from the park they could be confiscated and trashed, including their personal belongings.
Facebook, Twitter, and email lists lit up soon after the police officers' warning, eliciting support, confusion, and clarifying reports of the incident. "It seems to some of us that tonight is the night. 5 local officers showed, while 3 other cars and an suv stood on, the 5 officers left camp without giving detail as to when," Occupier Shaun Lee reported on Facebook.
Officer Greg Williams, who led a ten minute discussion with the park's Occupiers, clarified that structures such as tents are against city code, but sleeping bags are acceptable. "You have a right to be here. The tents do not. … Enjoy the park. It's open 24/7," Williams said.
Occupy KC has received similar warnings in the past, and confusion remains when, if, and how this latest warning will be enforced. When asked for a specific timetable, Williams said, "It can be enforced at any time. It could be five minutes."
As of now, the structures that Occupy KC has put up at Penn Valley Park are considered abandoned property, according to Williams.
When asked what would happen if someone were to refuse to take down their structure, Officer Williams said they would be subject to arrest.
Occupy KC is currently deliberating how to respond to this turn of events.

BLUEFIELD, W. Va. – Jeff Gray, former Saint Leo University Athletic Communications student-assistant, will take over as general manager of the Bluefield Blue Jays on October 1, according to an announcement Saturday by George McGonagle, president of the Bluefield Baseball Club.
The club runs Bowen Field and operates the Blue Jays, Toronto's entry in the Appalachian League.
Gray, a native of Auburn, N.Y., began his career as a batboy for the Auburn Doubledays of the New York-Penn League. He rose through the ranks to become a special assistant to the general manager.
At 22 years old, he is the youngest general manager serving in the Major League Baseball ranks, a testament to the Sport Business program and hands-on experience at Saint Leo University.
Aside from his position at Saint Leo during his undergraduate work in Sport Business, Gray also worked for the Toronto Blue Jays minor league affiliate in Dunedin, Fla. He also worked for the Toronto Blue Jays during Spring Training.
Earlier this year he served as associate general manager of the U.S. Military All-Stars' "Red White and Blue Tour" promoting support for the U.S. armed forces and wounded warriors.
Gray holds an associate's degree in Business Administration from Cayuga Community College in New York and a bachelor's degree in Sport Business from Saint Leo.
McGonagle was acting general manager during the 2012 Appalachian League season.

WATCH: Conservatives' Offensive, Bizarre, And Outlandish Arguments Against Marriage Equality
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI, BEN DIMIERO, JOHN KERR & COLEMAN LOWNDES
The Supreme Court has ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional. The decision is sure to raise the ire of conservative media figures that have spent years railing against marriage equality.
Right-wing figures have warned that marriage equality could lead to legalized pedophilia, marriage between people and a wide range of animals, and the complete destruction of America.
Some lowlights:
Below is a list of 30 of conservatives' most offensive, bizzare, and outlandish arguments demonizing marriage equality, which Media Matters originally published in March.
- Conservatives: Marriage Equality Will Lead To People Marrying Ducks, Donkeys, Goats, Dolphins, Turtles, Dogs, And Cantaloupes
- Conservatives: Marriage Equality Will Lead To The Downfall Of Society
- Conservatives Link Marriage Equality To Pedophilia, Child Molestation, And Incest
- Conservatives: Marriage Equality Will Lead To Plural Marriages
- The "Ick Factor," "Sexual Anarchy," And Other Reasons Conservative Media Figures Oppose Marriage Equality
Conservatives: Marriage Equality Will Lead To People Marrying Ducks, Donkeys, Goats, Dolphins, Turtles, Dogs, And Cantaloupes
Over the past decade, conservative media figures have had an odd obsession with the slippery-slope argument that marriage equality could pave the way for people to marry a wide array of animals (and the occasional melon).
Fox Host Bill O'Reilly: Marriage Equality Could Lead To Goat, Duck, Dolphin, Turtle Marriage. In March 2005, O'Reilly Factor host Bill O'Reilly predicted on his now-defunct radio show that in ten years, "this is gonna be a totally different country than it is right now. Laws that you think are in stone -- they're gonna evaporate, man. You'll be able to marry a goat -- you mark my words!"
Though O'Reilly said on the March 26 edition of his Fox News program that he believes "the compelling argument is on the side of marriage equality" and that he doesn't "feel that strongly about the issue," he has repeatedly argued over the years that marriage equality could lead to humans being able to marry various animals, including goats, ducks, dolphins, and turtles.
Challenged on the issue at one point, O'Reilly claimed to have been making a "satirical jest," an odd assertion given the frequency with which he has used the argument. [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 5/11/09; 3/25/05; 1/4/06; Media Matters, 3/27/13]

[NPR, The Diane Rehm Show, 10/25/11]
Buchanan Responds To Prop. 8 Ruling: "All The Great Nations Have Proscribed Or Punished" LGBT Relationships. In his syndicated column, Buchanan wrote in response to a judicial ruling overturning California's Proposition 8: "This is not just an insult to the intelligence of those Californians who have rejected gay marriage, but to a majority of Americans. Through history, all the great religions have condemned homosexuality and all the great nations have proscribed or punished it. None ever placed homosexual liaisons on the same plane as traditional marriage, which is the bedrock institution of any healthy society." [Media Matters, 8/10/10]
Washington Times' Jeffrey Kuhner On Marriage Equality: "It Is Inherently A Socially Barren Act. A Homosexual Society Is A Childless One - Doomed To Extinction." Kuhner wrote in his February 24, 2011, Times column that the "homosexual rights movement is on the verge of destroying marriage. If successful, it will permanently alter society. And President Obama is playing a pivotal role in this attack on traditional America." Kuhner went on to claim that the "homosexual lifestyle signifies the triumph of neo-pagan Epicureanism. By its very nature, homosexuality cannot fulfill the primary function of sex: procreation and the reproduction of the human race. It is inherently a socially barren act. A homosexual society is a childless one - doomed to extinction." [Washington Times, 2/24/11]
Radio Host Michael Savage Linked Marriage Equality To The 2008 Stock Market Collapse. During his October 1, 2008, radio program, Michael Savage said: "[Y]ou may say, 'Why should we care about homosexuals trying to destroy families through the mock marriage that they perform in order to mock God, the church, the family, children, the fetus, the DNA of the human species? Why should we care about it while we have a financial meltdown?' Because the spiritual side of the downturn on Wall Street is directly related to the moral downturn in the United States of America." Savage added: "[T]he government has no right to force people to accept homosexual marriage. It is why the West is dying. It is why we're melting down as a nation. It is why there is no -- why we have almost negative childbirth rate except amongst illegal aliens." [Talk Radio Network, The Savage Nation, 10/1/08]

[Westwood One, The Radio Factor, 11/18/08]
O'Reilly: Marriage Equality Will Lead To "Triads." O'Reilly has repeatedly warned that marriage equality will lead to the legalization of "triads" or other plural marriages. As recently as October 2011 he interviewed a polygamist family to promote his theory that "if the country eventually permits gay marriage everywhere, then other groups will want the same treatment."
[Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 10/7/11]
The "Ick Factor," "Sexual Anarchy," And Other Reasons Conservative Media Figures Oppose Marriage Equality
Huckabee Opposes Marriage Equality, In Part, Because Of The "Ick Factor." From a June 28, 2010 New Yorker article:
One afternoon in Jerusalem, while Huckabee was eating a chocolate croissant in the lounge of the Crowne Plaza Hotel, I asked him to explain his rationale for opposing gay rights. "I do believe that God created male and female and intended for marriage to be the relationship of the two opposite sexes," he said. "Male and female are biologically compatible to have a relationship. We can get into the ick factor, but the fact is two men in a relationship, two women in a relationship, biologically, that doesn't work the same."
I asked him if he had any arguments that didn't have to do with God or ickiness. "There are some pretty startling studies that show if you want to end poverty it's not education and race, it's monogamous marriage," he said. "Many studies show that children who grow up in a healthy environment where they have both a mother and a father figure have both a healthier outlook and a different perspective from kids who don't have the presence of both." [New Yorker, 6/28/10]
Huckabee defended his remark when asked about it on Fox News Sunday.

Savannah. is. GORGEOUS. We all know that. There are many factors that help her especially her amazing and varied architectural styles. Jonathan Stalcup, owner and sole tour guide of Architectural Savannah gives the MOST amazing architectural tour in Savannah.
Yesterday, the temperature was in the upper 70's and it was absolutely beautiful to be able to get out about in the city (sorry northerners!) I had the chance, being friends with Jonathan, to sample his new route in the more central sections of the Historic District.
You think you know about the various styles and details in the buildings and homes ( mainly from watching HGTV and DIY networks) and Jonathan schools you at every turn. It's great to have a professional guide that studied architecture at Savannah's own SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) to lead you around and make you look UP. Gothic arches, marble quoins, Italianate porches, Greek revival pediments, Romanesque entryways, trefoil windows… I could go on and on.
Not only does he know his structural and design oriented details, he is a master at the historical knowledge of why and how these details were introduced, he knows the details about the lives of the famed architects that designed and the people that lived in these masterpieces. If you have a question, ANY question, about any building or style or architect, ask Jonathan and he either knows it or can easily find out from valid sources.
Stay with us at The Dresser Palmer House and I can most definitely get you in with Jonathan Stalcup for an amazing fact and design based tour of Savannah's famed Historic District.

"The program's came out great! I had a hard time with the spacing but the design team helped me out and we were so happy with the final product!"
"This program was everything I'd hoped it would be. It is perfect and flawless in every way. If looking for a wedding program, I would highly recommend this one."
"Designer support was awesome. I was able to communicate via email directly to a designer. That helped a lot. They're doing excellent Job. In addition, our Program contained foreign characters. It came out pretty nicely as well."
"These turned out better than I thought they would. The paper was a high-end thicker cardstock that ended up being a hit at our ceremony. We personalized it to Navy for the cover, and added a pop of coral to headers on the inside. Wedding Paper Divas team is great and really worked with me on getting this to where I wanted it for our ceremony. So happy we choose them!"
"We used these programs for a Catholic mass and absolutely loved them! They were a little smaller than most programs we saw which we loved just it was easier for people to fit in their bags or pockets to take with them! We used the whitish background and loved the contrast and extremely bright colors! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun and colorful program"

I was lucky enough to spend my spring break at Quirky, a startup company in New York City that works to make "social product development" a reality. In other words, Quirky asks anyone from anywhere in the world to submit their ideas for inventions, and then if that idea is chosen, their entire team will work to try to turn that idea into a product on inon the market. Pretty cool, right? Even better, I got to take part in the process this week for choosing the ideas that the company will work on and so much more. I had the chance to meet with employees with many different specialties within the company ranging from product design to brand management to operations. So much happened in only three days, and as a result, this Princeternship has given me a life-changing perspective about my career search.
When I arrived, I met the other two Princeton students who were involved in this experience with me and we were given a full tour of the new Quirky headquarters. This office was unlike anything I had ever seen: the conference rooms had glass walls so that the space felt open for collaboration. The tables in each room were designed by the Quirky team and were supported by unique objects such as sinks, toilets, and high school lockers. The main office space was also a large open room so that there was no separation among employees and departments. This setup really captures the atmosphere of Quirky where everyone works together on all of the steps in the product development process and where everyone is enthusiastically engaged in the company's mission. This was demonstrated to us as well; even though we were hosted by one person, we still had the chance to fully interact with over fifteen other employees and departments. Our experience really showed the team-oriented environment of Quirky and the hard work that is put in by all of the people who work there to make their company successful.
Most importantly, I want to take this opportunity to once again thank our alum, Nikki Laffel Kaufman '07, for making this Princeternship possible. I got my first real experience in business and I met a wide range of people who have been valuable resources in helping me figure out my next step in my career journey and to learn about the real types of opportunities that are out there. The people at Quirky are what really make this company incredible, and I am deeply grateful to have gotten to spend time with them over the past three days. Thank you again, Nikki and the entire Quirky team, for making my spring break unforgettable!

Highway Funding
TxDOT is responsible for selecting projects for following funding categories:
TxDOT division personnel work with engineering and planning staff in the district offices, local and county officials, and the public through a public involvement process to select and program projects in the areas outside the metropolitan area boundaries.
MPO policy boards are responsible for programming projects in the following federal funding categories:
MPOs develop their own Project Selection Procedures based on the transportation needs in their region.
TxDOT's Budget
TxDOT's budget is determined by its Finance Division which publishes forecasted and anticipated revenues the department receives from fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, federal reimbursements, local matching funds and other state and local federal funds.
These forecasted revenue numbers are then provided to the districts and MPOs for allocation to projects that are listed in the rural and MPO TIPs. Funding levels are to be fiscally constrained throughout the life of the STIP. The April 2010 cash forecast is the basis for the revenue forecasts used in the STIP.

'Sensitivity Readers' Will Now Weed Out 'Offensive' Material From Books
Book publishers are hiring readers to go through their material and take out any offensive items.
These people, called sensitivity readers, scan books before they reach shelves for racist, sexist and other offensive material, reports Heat Street.
The sensitivity readers only cost a small fee and reportedly have experiences with transgender issues, race in the Muslim community, and terminal illness. These readers are in high demand, as authors are criticized for "bias" and "cultural appropriation."
Dhonielle Clayton, a librarian and writer, works as a sensitivity reader. She goes over two manuscripts a month and makes sure that characters and scenes are genuine. She also advises authors on research for their books.
"Books for me are supposed to be vehicles for pleasure, they're supposed to be escapist and fun," Clayton said. She doesn't believe that books are supposed to be filled with stereotypes or "harmful versions" of people.
Kate Messner, a children's author, regularly employs sensitivity readers to go over her books. She believes that they have helped her make sure the issues she covers in her books are "realistic and sensitive."

Database backup, restore, and verification
This walkthrough exploring the new features in SQL Backup Pro 7 covers:
- Using the Schedule Backup Jobs wizard to run database checks and create reminders to verify your backups.
- Launching the Schedule Restore Jobs wizard from the Reminder tab.
- Scheduling a restore job to fully verify your backups, even if they do not exist yet.
Schedule a backup job
Step 1: Launch the Schedule Backup Jobs wizard
To schedule a backup of our database we launch the Schedule Backup Jobs wizard from the button on the toolbar.
By choosing the Schedule Backup Jobs wizard (rather than the Back Up wizard) we will have the option to create a reminder to verify our backups.
Step 2: Choose to perform a new backup or use previously saved settings
We now select the server from which we wish to back up the database. We can also choose to use settings from a template that we can customize and configure. In this case, we're going to create a new backup.
Step 3: Choose the database and the type of backup to create
Next, we choose the type of backup we want to create and select the database we want to back up. If full backups have previously been made, we can decide to perform differential or transaction log backups. In this walkthrough, we will create a full database backup.
Step 4: Create a backup schedule
Here, we can create a schedule for our backups. In this walkthrough, we're creating a full backup and we're scheduling it to occur every weekday at 18.00. We could opt for more frequent backups to suit our needs, and can decide whether we want this schedule to run for a finite period, or run indefinitely.
Step 5: Configure backup file settings
In this step, we decide whether to back up to a single file, a single file mirrored to a second location, or split the backup over multiple, smaller files. Splitting the backup across multiple files can reduce the time needed to create it.
Here, we can also specify the file name of the backup or have it named automatically.
If we need to purge older backups as part of the process, we can choose to overwrite existing files or delete existing backup files by age or quantity.
If we want to copy the backup to a network location, we can also configure to which folder the backup should go and whether to purge existing backups at that location.
Step 6: Configure compression, encryption, network resilience and optimization settings for the backup
Next, we can select one of four compression levels for our backup. If we are unsure which compression level to use, the Compression Analyzer helps us by sampling data to suggest the optimal compression level for our database.
Here, we can also encrypt our data. With SQL Backup Pro, we can choose between 128-bit and 256-bit AES encryption.
SQL Backup Pro lets us optimize the performance of our backup by selecting the number of multiple threads to be used for the backup process. We can choose a maximum transfer and data block size for memory and disk optimization.
We can also protect our backup process against network outages which can interrupt backup operations and cause job failure. SQL Backup Pro is designed to minimize the disruption caused by network outages by automatically continuing the data transfer once the connection is re-established. By default, SQL Backup Pro is set to retry connecting to the network after 30 seconds and up to 10 times.
Step 7: Configure backup checks, reminders and email notification
This new step gives us the option to test backup files when they are created, by including CHECKSUM and RESTORE VERIFYONLY in the backup jobs.
CHECKSUM will validate any page checksums and generate a backup checksum. RESTORE VERIFYONLY will check the backup is complete and readable, and will validate the checksums.
For Jobs which include a full backup, we can also select 'Create reminder' which adds a reminder to schedule a restore job, to fully verify the backups. If we launch the Schedule Restore Jobs wizard from the Reminders tab, the wizard will be populated with details from the backup job. This will be demonstrated later in this walkthrough.
We can choose to be notified by email, with a copy of the completion log. By default, email notifications are only sent if errors occur during the backup process, such as the checksum failing if an error occurs. We can modify the email settings and choose to receive an email only when there are errors or warnings, or be informed about any outcome.
Step 8: Review a summary of the options chosen and complete
Before we confirm the backup schedule we can review a summary of all the options we've chosen, and view the SQL script for use with the command line utility or stored procedure. We then click Finish to create the scheduled backup job.
The job is listed in the Jobs tab and a reminder is added to the Reminders tab. The results of the CHECKSUM and RESTORE VERIFYONLY will be recorded in the Activity History.
Using the reminders
Step 9: How to set up a reminder
We can create a reminder to verify our backups when we create a scheduled full backup job using the Schedule Backup Jobs wizard (see step 7 above). A reminder is created for each database included in the scheduled backup job and can be found in the Reminders tab.
Step 10: The Reminders tab
The Reminders tab displays reminders to set up backup verification for each of our database backups. We can use SQL Backup Pro to verify our backups by creating a scheduled restore job to regularly restore a database from the latest backup and run a database integrity check (DBCC CHECKDB) to verify the logical and physical integrity of all its objects.
When we're ready to create a scheduled restore job, we go to the Reminders tab, find the reminder for the database we want to verify, and click Schedule a restore now. Launching the Schedule Restore Jobs wizard in this way will ensure that the wizard is populated with details from the scheduled backup job.
Schedule a restore job
Step 11: Launch the Schedule Restore Job wizard
In this walkthrough we will launch the Schedule Restore Job wizard from the Reminders tab, so the steps of the wizard will be populated with details from the backup.
NB: If we want to schedule a backup restore, but haven't come through the Reminders tab, we can simply launch the wizard from the SQL Backup Pro user interface. If we launch the wizard like this, it will not open pre-populated with any details of a scheduled backup.
Step 12: Select the destination server and backups to restore
In this first step, we will find the destination server set to the server on which the scheduled backup job was created. For information on scheduling restore jobs to a different server, see Backing up and restoring on a network share.
The rest of the wizard will also be populated with details from the backup job. As we're setting up a regular restore schedule the 'Restore from' will be set to 'folder and file name pattern'; because each backup will be created with a unique file name, it is not possible to specify the exact backups to restore each time.
The folder, file name pattern, source database name, and the type of backup we want SQL Backup Pro to look for when it performs the scheduled restore, will already be filled in for our convenience.
Step 13: Choose whether to overwrite an existing database or restore the backup to a new database
In this step, we decide whether to overwrite an existing database, or whether to create a new database. 'Create new' is selected by default, and the new database name is pre-populated with the name of the source database followed by _Verification, though we can change this to any name that suits us.
We'll find that the checkbox 'Overwrite on subsequent restores' is also selected by default. We want to choose this option because we're creating a schedule for regular restores, and this will ensure that subsequent restores will not fail because a database of the same name already exists.
Step 14: Choose where to restore the database files to
Here, we can choose the file locations for the restored database. We have the option to restore 'All files to default locations', 'Data and log files to specific locations', or restore 'Individual files to specific locations'.
Again, we'll find the grid pre-populated with details from the source database, including the logical names of the database files at the time the reminder was created. We could change the 'restore to' file location and also add or remove files from the database to restore if we needed to.
Step 15: Specify the verification options for the restored database
In step 4 we can set the level of verification we want to run on the backup(s).
We want to make sure that the database integrity check (DBCC CHECKDB) is selected, as this will fully verify the backup. We can also choose from any additional options we want to include in the database integrity check. We can opt for a more or less intense check and we can specify the amount of feedback we want returned.
Step 16: Select options for dropping the database following restore
Also in step 4 of the Schedule Restore Job wizard, we can select the option to 'Drop database following a restore'. This is really useful if we want to free the space used by the database between restore jobs.
We can choose to 'Always' drop the database, or to drop it only 'On success'. If we choose not to drop the database at all, it will be overwritten on the next restore because we selected 'Overwrite on subsequent restores' in step 2 of the wizard.
Step 17: Configure restore options for the destination database
Here we can select whether we want the recovery completion state of the restore to be 'Operational' or 'Read only'.
We can also choose to receive an email notification with a copy of the completion log, including any errors which arise during the database integrity check. By default, email notifications are only sent if errors occur during the backup process, such as the checksum failing if an error occurs. We can modify the email settings and choose to receive an email only when there are errors or warnings, or be informed about any outcome.
Step 18: Create the restore schedule
This is where we can create the schedule for our restores.
We can set the restore schedule around the schedule we have created for our backups, and have complete control over the time and frequency of the restores, to suit our disaster recovery requirements.
We can schedule a restore job to verify backups even if the backups themselves do not yet exist; at the time of the restore SQL Backup Pro will automatically identify the latest backup of the database and restore that. If we had scheduled a set of full, differential, and transaction log backups of a database, SQL Backup Pro will restore each backup in the set in the correct order.
Step 19: Review a summary of the scheduled restore and complete
Before we confirm the restore schedule we can review a summary of all the options we've chosen, and view the SQL script for use with the command line utility or stored procedure. We click 'Finish' to complete the wizard and create the scheduled restore job. The reminder is removed from the Reminders tab and the job is added to the Jobs tab.
Step 20: Review the verification results
Once the restore has run, we can view the results of the restore and database integrity check in the Activity History tab, alongside the results of any backups that may have been performed. To view any of these items in more detail, we would simply click on it, and a detailed summary will pop up.

Your Skin Is A Reflection Of Your Internal HealthSleep, exercise and eating a balanced diet are important to ensure your skin looks and feels its best—but so is a good daily skincare regimen. Skin is our body's protective shield, so its health affects our overall health. And when our skin is healthy and radiant, we feel confident, and it shows. That's why Beiersdorf has made healthy skin their mission for over 100 years. With high quality, clinically proven products that can repair and help maintain the health of your skin, Beiersdorf is the brand trusted by dermatologists and pharmacists around the world. Make healthy skin a priority by learning about your skin type, skin concern, or about the elements beyond your skin that can affect your skin health. Find skincare products that are appropriate for a particular condition and your skin's daily needs. And learn how elements beyond your skin can affect your overall skin health. Normal SkinNormal skin demonstrates the ideal balance of moisture and cell turnover in the topmost protective layers of skin. In normal, healthy skin, pores are barely visible; skin is moist, clear and glowing. Our skin acts as a two-way barrier protecting the internal body from damaging external elements and preventing the excessive outward passage of moisture, which is needed to keep skin healthy. Crucial to this barrier function is a hydrolipid film composed of moisture and natural oils (including fatty acids and lipids) that protects and covers the skin's surface. In normal skin, this hydrolipid film is doing its job to keep the right moisture in and damaging bacteria out. This hydrolipid film is fragile and must maintain a pH between 4.5 and 5.5 to function optimally. So even normal, healthy skin needs the proper daily skincare to maintain the right balance of moisture and lipids. Environmental factors can cause imbalances in the skin's pH, increasing the risk of breakouts and dry skin. Prolonged exposure to UV rays is one of the most damaging environmental factors, and can lead to wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity, brown spots, dryness, and serious diseases like skin cancer. Care & Treatment for Normal SkinThe first step to maintaining healthy skin is keeping your skin clean. Use the right cleanser that removes dirt without stripping those protective lipids, and always use warm water, not hot. Hot water and abrasive soaps can remove protective lipids and can damage your skin over time. Moisturizing lotions, creams and gels are vital because they help bind water to the skin and prevent moisture loss. For normal skin, it's important to find gentle products that support the skin's protective properties. Even the healthiest skin can become irritated and imbalanced with products that contain harsh ingredients or fragrances. Sunscreen is also recommended to protect skin from the cellular damage caused by the sun's ultraviolet rays.Dry SkinDry skin is extremely common and is experienced by almost everyone at some point in his or her lifetime. In some cases it can be genetic—one can be predisposed to having a drier type of skin. But in many cases, dry skin occurs due to external factors like extremes in climate, UV sunlight rays, and from exposure to chemicals and detergents that strip moisture away from the topmost protective layers of skin. Our skin acts as a two-way barrier protecting the internal body from external elements and preventing the excessive outward passage of water and electrolytes. Dry skin is the result of decreased moisture in the top layers of our skin's epidermis (the stratum corneum), which weakens its protective function and can affect the appearance of skin. Maintaining the right moisture balance in the top layers of the skin's epidermis is important in managing dry skin conditions and keeping skin healthy, hydrated and smooth. Helping to keep the skin's balance of moisture and protection is a hydrolipid film composed of moisture and natural oils (including fatty acids and lipids) that covers the skin's surface. In dry skin, this film has become impaired, leading to moisture loss and dryness. Excessive showering and bathing, especially in hot water, washes away these protective oils. And many soaps and detergents can strip natural moisture. Cold winter weather, wind, heat and excessive sun exposure can all disturb skin's natural hydration levels and lead to dry skin. In addition to external factors, there are many conditions, such as eczema and atopic dermatitis and psoriasis that can cause extremely dry skin. Dry skin is also a side effect of diabetes. And as aging skin loses its capacity to retain moisture, the result is often dryness and wrinkles. Dry skin can also become flaky, rough or bumpy. Keratosis Pilaris is a common dry skin condition that causes rough skin bumps, usually on arms and legs. Care & Treatment for Dry SkinWhen treating dry skin, always use a mild, soap-free cleanser. Avoid hot water, which can dry out skin further, and within a few minutes after bathing, apply an effective moisturizer to seal moisture into the skin. Whether caused by genetics, temperature changes or chemical irritants, dry skin needs the right skincare products designed to increase the skin's water-binding capacities and prevent the loss of moisture from the deepest skin layers. Contact your dermatologist if your dry skin conditions persist or appear to worsen, even with treatment. Don't forget your hands! Exposed to hot water, soil and weather extremes, the skin on your hands can easily become overburdened and damaged. Dry and cracked hands are prone to more serious conditions like eczema and dermatitis. So keep them well moisturized, and protect them with gloves in cold weather, when using cleaning products or gardening. Sensitive SkinSensitive SkinSensitive skin has a lower resistance to irritants. If you're prone to sensitive skin, you know that it can be unpredictable and challenging to identify exactly what is irritating your skin. While some people are predisposed to having sensitive skin, many external factors, including climate, UV exposure, hot water and harsh chemicals can make any skin more sensitive. Today 50–60% of the U.S. population reports having sensitive skin. Fragrances are a frequent irritant to sensitive skin, which can be found in many skin and hair care products, as well as in detergents and soaps. Allergens are another class of skin irritants that can cause inflammation and rashes for those who have allergic contact dermatitis. Common allergens include nickel (found in many eyeglass frames) and latex, which can cause allergic skin reactions. Care & Treatment for Sensitive SkinSensitive skin tends to show redness, swelling and scaling when irritated. It may also prickle or burn, feel tight or itch. However, establishing a good daily skincare regimen will help to minimize sensitive skin reactions. Start by washing skin with warm (not hot) water and using mild soap and fragrance-free cleansers. Avoid harsh, grainy scrubs and stiff, scratchy loofahs, which can also irritate your skin. When choosing a moisturizer, look for one that's formulated for sensitive skin and fragrance-free. Be wary of "botanical" ingredients, too; some essential oils can irritate sensitive skin. Heat and sun exposure can also be an irritant to sensitive skin, so always remember the sunscreen. And unless you're using a line of products designed to work together, don't layer too many different products on your skin. If you do have a reaction, this can make it difficult to identify which product caused the problem. If your conditions persist or appear to worsen, your dermatologist may prescribe a treatment to help manage sensitive skin flare-ups. Baby SkinA baby's delicate skin requires special care. As its protective barrier is developing and adapting to a new environment, infant skin is sensitive and especially vulnerable to chapping, chafing and rashes. Dry baby skin is also a common concern, so you need to take additional steps to ensure the best health for your baby's skin. Care & Treatment for Baby SkinOne place to start is with your baby's clothing and any garments that touch his or her skin. Newborns may be susceptible to chemicals found in new clothing, so be sure to wash clothes thoroughly before they're worn. Also, a baby's skin can easily be irritated by soap and harsh detergents, so use products that are free of fragrances and dyes. Check the labels to ensure that the detergent you choose is safe for sensitive skin. Frequent bathing can dry out baby's delicate skin. During the first year, a bath two or three times a week is all that's needed. Avoid long baths and hot water, since both can cause dry baby skin. Gently cleanse your baby, paying special attention to skin folds and the diaper area. Soaps can be drying and fragrances may irritate, so look for a soap-free, fragrance-free cleanser. After bathing, gently pat away excess water with a soft, absorbent towel. No one can resist a baby's soft, tender skin. To keep it that way, smooth on a moisturizer within three minutes of bathing to seal in moisture. To avoid dry baby skin and potential irritation, use moisturizers without fragrances. To prevent and help heal diaper rash, change diapers frequently to avoid prolonged contact with irritating wetness, and wash the diaper area with each diaper change. Always wipe a baby's bottom from front to back to help avoid infection. Allow skin to air dry, or use a soft cloth. Then apply a thin layer of ointment to create a barrier between skin and wetness. Call your pediatrician if diaper rash doesn't improve, or worsens.

I think your reaching... The players play, they play hard (sometimes).. not always smart, not always good.. but they play. I think they respect Jerry, you think they don't. That's fine but your gonna have to offer up some comments from players as proof in order to get me on board.... other wise its just a conspiracy theory.
I mean I get that current players are mum.. they are on the payroll and not foolish enough to bad mouth the owner.. but ex players, players that are long gone would not have much to lose by coming forward and bad mouthing Jerry but I don't see that happening.. what gives?

I don't expect all pros at every position. It seems like we go from feast to famine in terms of the quality of player at the top end of the team vs. the rest of the club. But let me quote from an attached Bob Sturm article to better articulate my position. I pulled several sections from the article below. Jerry can't coach nor can he execute the plays. But he is largely responsible for the debacle that we are witnessing. The buck stops with him.
"Once upon a time, the Cowboys organization set the pace for excellence in the league. Playoff regulars and a team that amassed division titles, playoff wins, and Super Bowls for much of the first 35 years of its existence has now hit such a drastic wall that nearly every fan of the team can recite the horrible facts:"
"In 15 years, the Cowboys have 1 wildcard playoff victory. One. That's one more than the Muncie Flyers and the Canton Bulldogs, but given that those teams folded shortly after World War 1, that would clearly not be a very large consolation."
"Mental toughness is a great tie-breaker when talent is equal, but in this space, the premise is that
the Cowboys have some very impressive top end talent, but not nearly enough strength on their roster to win a game like the contest that was asked of them on Sunday Night in New York."
"This team fails in December for one primary and simple reason: The roster doesn't contain the quality personnel that is required to sustain the assaults of a 16-game campaign in the NFL."
"The truth is that the Cowboys have enough talent on the top of their roster to compete with some of the best teams in the league. Romo, Ware, Witten, Austin, Ratliff are a very solid "Top 5". Bryant, Lee, Murray, Smith, and Jenkins are a reasonable 6-10 on a roster. But, then the drop-off begins on the roster. And if the season was just 8-10 games long, they would likely be able to hang in there."
"The premise that Romo, Ware, Ratliff, and Witten can drag this team up and down the field with so many passengers is just nonsense. The title contenders in this league are not 5-strong. They are 53-strong."
"This is not a Tony Romo, Jason Garrett, or Rob Ryan issue. They should share in the blame,
but this largely remains a Jerry Jones issue.
He has built a stadium that can host a Super Bowl. But he sure hasn't built a roster that can play in one."
"Players play. Coaches coach.
And the General Manager is fully responsible to make sure his team is 53-strong.
Playing a Giants team in a winner-take-all scenario on Sunday Night revealed a similar result that a showdown with the Eagles in 2008 and the Vikings in 2009 demonstrated: This organization is a long way from being where their fans are used to being back in the glory days."
So you know who the second string NT was when Pitssburgh won their second with Big Ben? How about who New Orleans' 3 starting linebackers were? Or their nickel corner? Hmm..how about who the Giants were starting at safety when they won it last year?
Point is, even if you know the names from hearing/seeing them, the player is still an unknown nobody camp-fodder who was thrust into a bigger role. And likely didnt play well almost ever, but stayed in ther position and let the stars do their thing. Again, we have more than what many teams win SB's with, star wise. And behind the stars, I dont think many teams have better or worse than most - as most of those players are recycled all around the league or out of the league in 3 years.
When the Cowboys were stacked with talent deep in the depth chart, the salary cap was non-existant and you could pay what youw anted for whomever you wanted. The advent and re-advent of the salary cap era has forced EVERY team to just stick two-bit nothings in at second and third on depth charts and hope for the best. Not just Dallas.
While I get the point, it's like an annoying song they keep playing over and over on the radio. It's just being repeated because it's popular to do so.
Coaching football is just my way of staying close to the game.

I have to believe many players who were coached by Tom Landry weren't exactly ecstatic about the way he was dismissed.....So, I would have to say many spoke their minds at that time.....I believe Jimmy Johnson's relationship with Jones was strained when he left, and when was the last time any body has heard about Barry Switzer (nationally)?
I wouldn't say Dallas' organization is a joke, but it certainly isn't the feared and respected team it once was.....When Troy Aikman, Emmet Smith, and Michael Irvin were playing, I shuddered when Green Bay played the Cowboys.....However, that certainly has change.....We not only can compete with Dallas, but I expect us to win....Whether we're home or not....

When did Schram or Landry ever attempt a trade where they gave a superstar for a bunch of draft picks? The answer is never. Landry was loyal to a fault, a fact which he was loved for. But nevertheless further proves Jimmy credit on the deal. You could say Jerry, except Jerry has tried to repeat the big trade deals numerous times after Jimmy left and with catastrophic consequences, namely the Deion trade which put us in salary cap hell, Galloway, Roy Williams, etc and so forth.
And what does Landry and Schram developing a Europe league have anything to do with the conversation? Did you know that the Cowboys were in danger of losing their franchise to the already then popular Dallas Texans which later became known as the Kansas City Chiefs?
I am on the side of Jimmy was the catalyst behind the 90s SBs, not Jerry.. but I do take issue with a few of your comments..
You asked WHEN did Schramm and Landry EVER trade a Superstar for a bunch of draft picks.. never??? Those of us who have been around a while remember exactly when the Cowboys traded their BEST RB Duane Thomas and ROY not once but twice! For draft picks..
I also remember Landry cutting a player, a good player, the BEST LB on the team, Hollywood Henderson. Landry was NOT LOYAL to a fault.. he was loyal but he was football first.. if you could not help the team or you hurt the team more than you helped, you were GONE! PERIOD!.
I also do not understand this statement; "Did you know that the Cowboys were in danger of losing their franchise to the already then popular Dallas Texans which later became known as the Kansas City Chiefs?"
I was not around the early 60s but I never read the Cowboys were ever in trouble because of the Texans.. I know they had to compete with them for PLAYERS and they shared the Cotton Bowl as their home field.. The Cowboys and Chiefs both began playing in 1960 so how could the Chiefs already be more popular? They both played in the Cotton Bowl and the Texans out drew the Cowboys 2 of the 3 years they shared the same home.. but they didn't out draw them by MUCH despite having a far superior product.. including the AFL Champions in 1962.
The Texans won 12 games in 1962 including the AFL Championship. The Cowboys had only won 9 TOTAL Games from 1960 through 1962 yet the Texans had only a slight edge over the Cowboys at the box office... If the Texans couldn't at least double the Cowboys attendance when they had the best team in the AFL while the Cowboys had the worst in the NFL, Lamar Hunt knew he stood no chance against the Cowboys if they ever started to win.. It turns out, Lamar Hunt was a genius. He moved the Texans to KC just before the Cowboys went on a 20 season winning streak!
I wont say the Texans were ever in trouble but they certainly were not turning much of a profit in Dallas and competing with the NFL's Cowboys was a losing proposition. So, they moved to KC.. if the Cowboys were the team in trouble, it seems that they would have moved.. but what do I know..
Correct me if I'm but wasn't it an off the field issue why Henderson was cut? Landry was a no nonsense guy, and he was loyal to players even after their prime unless of course they embaressed the team which Landry considred disloyalty and that's when he got rid of them.
And the Texans from what I remember hearing, had some very popular star power players while the Cowboys were struggling to maintain a legit active roster, their only major star player was Lilly. And if I am able I will find the article and post it, but typically football markets back then were very cuthroat when dealing with two teams in one area. The Texans with more commercial appeal and more success, the statement I read sounded logical.

Hollywood Henderson was cut about 3/4 of the way through the 1979 season. I want to say it was after a game vs the Redskins but it could have been the Eagles. Not exactly sure but the Cowboys were being beaten soundly and sometime late in the 4th quarter, Hollywood was seen cutting up with the fans and waving a towel. The towel was actually a marketing item (like the Steelers Terrible Towel) that was the brain child of Preston Pearson.. (I think).
Anyway, after the game Landry cut Henderson. This incident was used as the excuse but everyone knew it was simply the last straw.. Henderson had many many issues, all drug related, that had not been made public yet.
Henderson returned in 1980 with a couple different teams (SF and Houston) but an injury ended his career in 1981 spring training with the Dolphins.. i think he broke his neck but can't remember that far back.

Cryptococcosis is infection with Cryptococcus neoformans fungus.
Cryptococcus neoformans is the fungus that causes this disease. It is usually found in soil. If you breathe it in, it infects your lungs. The infection may go away on its own, remain in the lungs only, or spread throughout the body (disseminate).
This infection is most often seen in people with a weakened immune system, such as those who:
Cryptococcus is the most common life-threatening fungal infection in people with AIDS.
People with a normal immune system may have no symptoms at all.
The infection may spread to the brain in people who have a weakened immune system. Neurological (brain) symptoms start slowly. Most people with this infection have swelling and irritation of the brain and spinal cord when they are diagnosed.
Physical examination may reveal:
Tests that may be done include:
Some infections require no treatment. Even so, there should be regular check-ups for a full year to make sure the infection has not spread. If there are lung lesions or the disease spreads, antifungal medications are prescribed. These drugs may need to be taken for a long time.
Medications include:
Amphotericin B can have severe side effects.
Central nervous system involvement often causes death or leads to permanent damage.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of cryptococcosis, especially if you have a weakened immune system.

Gang Detectives arrested 21-year-old Dechavian Jabbar Parks in connection with Thursday morning's sexual assault and shooting.
Parks was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on charges of Attempted Murder, Burglary in the First Degree, Rape in the First Degree, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, and Unlawful Use of a Firearm.
Detectives learned that the 18-year-old female victim was asleep in her home where several others, including her mother and boyfriend were sleeping. The suspect, Parks, entered the unlocked home and sexually assaulted the victim. The victim was able to get away and awaken her mother, then both of them ran outside of the home and got into their black SUV. The suspect grabbed onto the SUV and held on as the victim began to drive away. At some point, the suspect let go of the SUV and retrieved a firearm and fired a shot at the SUV, breaking out the back window. The victim and her mother fled to another family member's home then returned to the scene.
The suspect's associates, two juvenile males and an adult female (previously believed to be a male) were not arrested.

I have read the Citizen's front page story on fire department issues dated April 7, 2011. These are my personal thoughts from the article.
First, it sounds to me that someone is empire building. A fire director position with a cost of $80,000 -$125,000 a year? The county is already broke, hum? Are Chiefland and Williston becoming the "Big Brothers" of the fire departments in the county?

Your support allows the hospital to continue its mission of helping children.
The Movement Science Laboratory at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children records a child's ability to move by testing strength and measuring range of motion in the ankles, knees and hips.
Patients evaluated at the Movement Science Lab are referred by their TSRHC doctor. Analysis in the Movement Science Lab usually involves one or more of the following:
To measure a child's movement, the staff at the Movement Science Lab uses the same technology used to make video games. They attach multiple small markers on the child's feet, legs, waist and sometimes shoulders, arms and head. Cameras around the room record the movement of the markers as the child walks, and the computer creates a dot-do-dot drawing and a stick figure that moves just like the child.
At the end of testing, staff members invite the kids to do a fun move, such as a touchdown pass, karate chop or dance move, so they can see themselves on the computer.
Although the procedure does not hurt, it may seem a little intimidating for a child. To help your child relax, explain in advance that the staff at the Movement Science Lab will be making a video of the way the child's body moves. To help the staff see arm and leg movement, the child should wear tight shorts and a tank top or swimsuit during the visit to the lab.
Make a plan for during and after the procedure. Giving your child something to look forward to, such as playing in the park or stopping by the hospital's popcorn stand, may encourage participation. The staff at the Movement Science Lab will have ideas about how to make the procedure more fun. Allowing your child to bring a favorite toy can make the visit more comfortable and give the staff a way to incorporate your child's interests into the procedure.
Please be sure to bring all walking aids that your child uses, such as braces, walker or crutches, to the Movement Science Laboratory.
For more information about visiting the Movement Science Lab, please call 214-559-7580 or 800-421-1121, ext. 7580.

Couldnt find him
I was hunting in Middleton, Ma. from a tree stand, I watched a 8 point buck come in. I heard him, turned around slowly and there he was walking right at me. I waited for him to put his head down before I decided to stand up. I waited, with my heart pumping intently,until he was about 20 yards away. I drew back,and right before I was about to take the shot my uncle paged me accidentally on the radio. At that instant the deer looked right up at me, and I took the shot. Watched him run away with my arrow in his side for about 25 yards and then he started walking again. I called my uncle on the radio and told him what was going on. We met up and waited 2 hours before looking for him. We started looking for the deer and we follwed a pretty healthy trail of blood then the blood stopped, we foundnd my arrow across the street from where we had been looking for it, about 5 hours later. He had broken it off on a tree that he had been rubbing. The blood started again, stopped and I never found him. This is my first experience with a deer comeing in on me and I'm sure I will never forget it. Hopefully next time I will have better luck. That is the last thing I would have wanted to happen, I saw where I wanted to hit him had him in my sight so I took the shot. Its all part of the sport I guess if it was easy to kill them everyone would do it.
It is part of hunting. Something to consider. The type of blood. When we come across dark red blood I back off for a long period of time - overnight if possible and the shooter is not 100% sure of the hit. Vital blood will usually give you a lighter red, oxyigenated (bubbly) look. Dark red will give you an animal that may go a long ways if pushed. Good luck to all!

34 35th St., Unit 26, Brooklyn, NY, 11232
Meet Eyebeam's 2013 Spring/Summer Fellows and Residents
Eyebeam is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2013 Spring/Summer Residencies and 2013 Fellowships, beginning in March. Residencies have been awarded to 7 artists and Fellowships have been awarded to 4 artists. The research-based practices represented by this cohort will focus on a broad spectrum of topics including web-based poetics; online information biases; Cyberfeminism and online art in the early 90's; and relationships to the virtual in everyday life. All incoming artists and technologists receive generous stipends and 24/7 access to Eyebeam's design, research and fabrication studios.
Critical questioning of the status quo and a belief in progress are core values of Eyebeam. This has been demonstrated through 15 years of experimentation via creative use and misuse of technology with the goal to innovate and develop better relationships between people and tools. This incoming group of artists and technologists is a testament to Eyebeam's ongoing commitment to supporting work that involves community-interdependence and resourcefulness, learning, curiosity and creative exploration.
"The invitation extended to this group of innovators is the culmination of a months-long review process that rigorously and democratically works to select the most visionary and cutting-edge practitioners," says Roddy Schrock, Director of Programs and Residencies at Eyebeam. "This collection of artists and technologists are grouped together with the hopes that they will collectively spark off one another resulting in works that will help direct the future of creative technology and the arts".
We couldn't be more excited for them to start working in-house next month.

UO on probation for rules violations
The University of Oregon has lost a scholarship and will be on probation for three years for recruiting violations under previous coach Chip Kelly. Post-season games will not be affected.
The NCAA issued the decision Wednesday.
The NCAA's Division I Infractions Committee found that Kelly and the University failed to monitor the recruiting program.
Oregon self-reported the issue to the NCAA. In 2011, the school paid recruiter Willie Lyles $25,000 for scouting services. Lyles was also connected to an Oregon recruit.

Ted Nolan overstated his own value and found himself out on his can. He was offered the head coach job in Tampa and turned it down because he wanted more money. Are you kidding me?

Many are upset over the Resident Evil series becoming more like a blockbuster action movie than a survival horror experience. But that doesn't mean you can't get your horror fix. The survival horror genre is back and getting more frightening than ever.
Some good games there, but no State of Decay. People need to keep an eye on that one.
State of Decay doesn't even look scary.
Might check it out if not playing day z standalone.
I want outlast. A game made by ex ubi and naughty dog devs.
The single player games are the scary ones.
Most of these games are for PC, in other words, none will sell well if it isn't on a console. The only games on PC that have sold well in the last 8 years are WoW, Starcraft, Elder Scrolls games, Diablo 3, and Sims games. Everything else gets torrented beyond belief, to the point where they can't sell more than a few hundred thousand copies - and they're well established franchises.
Horror stuff isn't exactly the play it safe stuff put out by publishers. Since people have no idea if they'll like the game, and they can't rent it, they torrent it. It's sad, as these games deserve to be a commercial success such that more can get made, perhaps on more platforms so more people can enjoy them.
While I admit that most pirating does happen on the pc it does happen for the consoles as well. Obviously the process to pirate on a console is harder than a pc but it still happens.
As for the fact that people torrent the games to see if they like it, if they are respectable and are merely getting the torrent to demo the game then they will do as pirating should do and if they like it buy the game and if they don't just uninstall it.
@knowyourstuff - Your name is painfully ironic, you're so wrong about everything that you just wrote that I have physical pain in my balls from it.
outlast looks scary as hell
especially the part where he was running on the hallway and when he looked back the thing was running behind him as well
amnesia looks awesome as well
the rest not so much
these are real survival horror games
no guns, just a flashlight, you running and hiding away from the monsters. and ones again no guns, it gives the real feel of having to survive than shooting everything that moves around you
@ knowyourstuff: had the NERVE to say: "Most of these games are for PC, in other words, none will sell well if it isn't on a console".
Yes most of these games are on the PC cause that's the platform that has continued to have greats sales figures for Indie Devs wanting to make TRUE survival Horror games while most console Survival Horror games get transformed into a call of Duty clone!
insert Resident Evil and Dead Space here for great examples!
You need to realize that the PC has a very different business model than the console and although selling 2 or 3 million units is nice...a dev can make a great profit just from selling 700K units.
No plastic boxes, No shipping Games, No advertisement, No Sony/MS tax, sometimes NO publisher, sale the game forever on steam, etc..
Also most of these PC survival Horror titles are on their sequel or is the second or third survival game from the Dev so therefore they are making money on the PC.
Hopefully ALL of these titles make it to Next Gen consoles as everyone should be able to enjoy TRUE Survival Horror games such as Amnesia and Slenderman and not call of duty clones that use to be scary!!!
good list
I saw Dead Space 3 on the list before I didn't read the article. Not survival horror.
Developers have even specifically said it's "action horror" which translates to action coop game. No thank you.
"Ohhhhh noooooo. GET IT GET IT!"
yea I know, but there are some good games from less known devs and games do look good, cant wait
Dead space 3 please
I'm so tired of hearing about Dead Space. The series is ass at best.
Maybe to you
But I like the series
So next time ill chech with you if it's ok I like a certin game
I'm so tired of hearing people state an opinion as though it was fact.
I'm so tired of internet nobody's thinking their opinion matters.
Hey Bloodraid can you please let me like "the last of us" pleaseeeeee
Go for it, no one is stopping you. But I'm flattered that you ask for my permission beforehand.
And for the record, my point with that comment was that Dead Space is not survival horror, and it's tiring to see people presenting it as such.
Just because a game is mildly scary, or full of cheap jump scares, doesn't make it survival horror.
You see, there's more to the Survival Horror genre than it being scary, just like there's more to the RPG genre than playing as a specific character.
Of course, I can't expect people on N4G to understand more than how to enter their login.
dear bloodrain,
when I was 8 years old an envious person fed my husky ground beef mixed with crushed glass, while our family was out for vacation he died of severe constipation... human nature is a scary thing and dead space is not.
Next dead space is a sci fi third person shooter. Nothing else.
Wish they'd show us more of Among the Sleep.
I get the feeling the developers are slacking, especially since they had a side project they delayed Among the Sleep for, and even that side project hasn't had much told about it.
Im sorry but if you haven't played Amnesia w/ headphones on & the only light coming from your computer monitor you do not know fear seriously scared the hell outta me cannot wait to play the sequel slenderman wasn't bad but no amnesia the atmosphere was so damn creepy.
Interesting list. Can't wait to scare myself shitless :')
Wow, Outlast! What a trailer! Never heard of it, is it comming for ps3?!
according to this its pc exclusive
i hope slenderman will be released on PSN or XboxLive, i doubt it but still its will be awesome!!!
I think Slenderman is overrated. Dead Space 3 is another Resident Evil 5. Metro: Last Light, while not an actual horror game, may have some good creepy areas.
I'm looking forward to see what Zwei actually is. Amnesia is most likely going to be good, but i don't know the other titles.
I agree that the original Slenderman is overrated. But the new one defo looks promising :)
All these games look very promising.
I just hope that at least half of them can truly deliver.
Well, I already have amnesia to begin with. Or do I? Who am I? Who is this? Don't ever call this number again.
Outlast Maybe ported to consoles after being released on PC
All this horror games should be Oculus rift compatible, imagine shitting yourself in a whole new level.
Db so people don't like that I want to play dead space lol
Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs will own all this games in 2013.just mark my words..
ZombiU is actually a pretty scary game imo. Despite what the major sites have rated it I love the game and its atmosphere is executed quite well.
Yeah I was surprised at how scary ZombiU was in few parts. Plus it does actually make it scarier that you have to keep looking at the second screen. I'm just disappointed I can't play the game using headphones/surround sound because the console doesn't have an optical port :(
As for 2013, I can't wait for Amnesia, the first one was incredible and so was the Penumbra series.
I just use the optical at back of my tv and through my amp, its not as good as the sound through my ps3 but it still works. Have you tried the headphone socket on top of the controller? Anyway's im loving the atmosphere in Zombi u and am well happy with my purchase, an excellent example of survival horror. Thats my opinion anyway : )
Well I have an old TV. It's full HD but doesn't have an optical port, only HDMI. And the headphones I have (tritton pro+) use optical ports too. I can't understand why Nintendo wouldn't put an optical port on it. Still not as bad as not having an ethernet port though. Having to rely on WiFi for a 5GB update is not fun!
I havent really had any problems with updating over my wifi and Im using century link. But as for the sound thing I just use stock so I havent noticed that limitation yet, it sounds like it sucks though. And idk why Nintendo is always overlooked in practically every catagory. To mention survival horror as if its dead when a title just released, is a new ip, and is selling quite well with a well executed gameplay design seems like a slap in the face. I mean if you go into the title expecting Left 4 Dead type action or Call Of Duty, your setting yourself up for disappointment. If you keep an open mind and go in with other survival horros in mind, not action titles, ZombiU stands amongst some of the best and I for one am I looking forward to a sequel.
I don't understand why people find this "Slenderman" character scary. Forget about the myth, let's just focus on the game. In the video game, what does he do to you, other than standing still at random places? Does he attack you, no. Does he say anything? No again. He looks weird but that's about it. Leave the dude alone, maybe you're hurting his feelings when you run away from him. Or alternatively, you know... maybe devs should start programming him in a way that he can friggin' ATTACK you whenever he sees you? Wouldn't that be a little more menacing?
I know that he's faceless and he's supposed to drive you mad when you look at him and stuff but honestly, I don't buy that. If he's to be regarded as a threat, he better act like one or else I'd just ignore the weird looking bald guy standing there and minding his own business, walk away and call it a day.
Your comment was funny as hell!!!.....describing Slenderman was on point!!
most of this seem so poorly done :/
the only one that seem ok is " routine "
and until down, amnesia, slender seem ok but very cheesy
the rest not even horror or scary at all.. the bby oe lol who was stupid enough to fallow that idea? hahaha
I think TLOU will change how survival horror should be done..
and if kojima is helping in the next silent hill it an only do good
plus i hope next gen bring a new Siren lead by the original Silent hill creator or a new IP from him...
Dead Space didn't save the genre. It's one of the most conservative games that I've ever played. Every element has been tried and tested before. It's Aliens, it's Doom 3, it's Silent Hill, it's Bioshock. But when I was in Silent Hill or Rapture I was in a rich environment that I'd never been in before. Not just space. If you wait for Aliens: Colonial Marines, you'll at least be honouring the start of the 'truly terrifying organism/s in space' genre with H R Giger's designs. When you're running around in game like Dead Space that is clearly in such heavy debt to those earlier games/films I can't help feeling that it's not necessarily worth my time going in to yet another space terrain - unless it's done with real B-movie panache, humour or stark originality.
Dead Space 3? No. Just no. The first one had, eh, some moments. Then the second one kinda ruined it. And now with the co-op in mind with the third, you cannot possibly expect it to be scary. That is of course, if you don't find undead monstrosities jumping out of cleverly concealed containers every five minutes to be actually scary. If not, hooray for you.
Typical casual gamer who cries for no reason.I have played Dead Space and it was scary and entertaining as well.I have played almost anything in the survival horror genre and I can safely say Dead Space is one of the best.
Did I ever say it was a bad game? Did I even hint at some gameplay flaw or inconsistency? My observation was tied to the somewhat lackluster use of "trait" survival horror elements (such as scarce ammo, overwhelming odds, etc) which didn't characterize Dead Space as a game. It is a great shooter with a horror theme and some set-pieces but it can never be classified as true survival horror. And since you point me as a "casual" type of gamer, I suggest playing some Silent Hill 2 / Resident Evil 1-3 (Amnesia included) and then we can talk about true hard core, survival horror.
Dead Space was advertised as an action horror game not a survival horror one.I have finished more than once all the games that you mentioned below.Of course it would be considered blasphemy to compare it to Silent Hill 1 or 2.
The game i'm really interested in right now is Zwei because i don't own a PC and it seems like their are lot more immersive survival horror games on PC so hopefully Zwei will be a true immersive survival horror title for current consoles and PC. Consoles need a great survival horror.
My excitement for next year just went up a few notches. It's gonna be a good one.
You know, i never noticed just how strong the horror scene on PC is.
I have, ever since i noticed Amnesia, Paranormal, Slender, and the list goes on.
Some of those look great and I don't think survival horror is dead, just mistreated.
Deadspace is not survival horror and it is why people think survival horror is dead.
Sorry but you need to go back a little to Alone in the Dark if you want to say where "3D" based survival horror actually started! Not RE!
Actually, Alone in the Dark was the specifically the reason when writing the article I made sure to never say that Resident Evil created the genre. I tried to say just that it popularized the genre and the term survival horror came from its loading screen. Meaning, the industry adopted the new genre because of Resident Evil. But you are right that it really started with Alone in the Dark and maybe Realms of Haunting.
I'm looking forward to a couple of the games on that list, especially the Playstation 3 title. I've always wanted a horror movie in video game form.
Routine looks extremely unique!
I can't stop thinking about the floppy disks in that trailer. These people have built massive spaceships it seems and appear very advanced. Yet they still use floppy disks as storage mediums. Lol! I can't get over that.
Survival Horror games haven't been the same since RE4 when it came to this gen dead space was the best in this genre but u still can't compare it to the past RE & Silent hills
Been saying for a while that A Machine for Pigs is my most anticipated game of 2013.
With so many horror flops nowadays, we need a good company that has proven itself, such as Frictional Games.
wow... they really took away the scares from Slender... WTF

Roseville, CA-September 15th at 4:22 p.m. The Roseville Fire Department responded to multiple reports of a grass fire near Veterans Park North located in West Roseville. Fire crews arrived to find a 1/2 acre of dry grass burning at a moderate rate of spread in a field located East of Fiddyment Road just North of Blue Oaks Blvd. Fire crews began attacking the fire as additional resources were called to the scene.
4 brush units and 1 Battalion Chief from the City of Roseville responded. Additional units from Cal Fire responded including 1 brush unit, 1 water tender and 1 Battalion Chief. Crews were able to contain the blaze at just 8 acres under the direction of acting Battalion Chief Rich Sisk. Lower temperatures and calm winds aided firefighters in containing the fire.
Firefighters were on scene for over 5 hours mopping up hot spots. The fire burned into a grove of mature oak trees which proved challenging for firefighters to fully extinguish. Crews patrolled the area throughout the night and into today ensuring that there were no flare-ups.
No structures were threatened or damaged. There were no injuries reported. The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time.
