OSX Tips
Some Changes in Lion
•Scroll direction is reversed.
May be changed via System Preferences > Mouse and/or System Preferences > Trackpad.
•Scrollbars are hidden.
May be changed via System Preferences > General (previously Appearance).
•Scroll momentum control has been moved.
To System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Mouse Options Check Scrolling with inertia.
•Finder Sidebars have been re-arranged. Contents are gray. Apps have generic icons.
It's a bit of a "hack," but there's a way to put the colors and icons back, from LionTweaks. (Restarting may revert to gray; use the Force Quit menu to Relaunch the Finder.)
•~/Library (the Library folder in home folders) is hidden.
May be seen by holding Alt/Option while selecting Go in the Finder menubar.
May be made permanently visible by copying and pasting chflags nohidden ~/Library via Terminal (in your Applications/Utilities folder). Must be repeated after software updates.
May also be made permanent by dragging it into a Finder sidebar.
•Dock indicators of running apps are OFF.
May be turned ON via System Preferences > Dock.
•Spaces are now called Desktops.
They're configured via Mission Control, not System Preferences.
A number of appearance and functional things in Lion are different from Snow Leopard. A few that may be especially disconcerting or confusing to those accustomed to earlier versions of OSX, that aren't mentioned or aren't clear in Apple's documentation:
•Quitting apps leaves windows open; they reopen with the app, and at Restart.
May be changed via System Preferences > General (previously Appearance). Un-check the Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps box.
The Resume tab in the free TinkerTool app allows you to set this for individual apps.
There's a separate prompt when you select Restart or Shut down.
The RESUME feature
•Rosetta is gone.
Icons for PPC apps have a white circle with a line through it, and will not work.
•There is a Recovery HD (partition, actually) instead of an Install disc.
•Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant:
•Network transfers don't work from Macs running Tiger or earlier.
•To transfer via Firewire or Thunderbolt, select From Time Machine or other disk, not From another Mac. See Using Setup Assistant on Lion and/or Using Migration Assistant on Lion.
•You can now transfer from a PC. See OS X Lion: About Windows Migration Assistant
•There's a new File Vault, encrypting entire disks/partitions.
See: OS X Lion: About FileVault 2 for details.
•Disk Utility only verifies or repairs the partition map when you select the whole drive.
You must verify or repair each volume separately. See #6 in Using Disk Utility.
•Mail message list has a new format.
Traditional layout available via Mail > Preferences > Viewing > Use classic layout
•"Bounce" is gone from Mail.
•Auto Save and Versions work only with some apps: Text Edit and Preview, so far.
Plus Numbers (2.1) and Pages (4.1) updated on 7/20/11, and some 3rd-party apps.
•Many apps no longer have a Save As option. It's replaced by Duplicate
•Files using Auto Save and Versions are locked after 2 weeks.
You'll be prompted to unlock if you try to modify one.
Locking and timing can be changed via Time Machine Preferences > Options.
•Portable Macs using Time Machine also make "Local snapshots" on your internal HD.
•A copy of the Recovery HD is on external Time Machine HDs (effective with 10.7.2).
•Time Machine backups to an external drive can be encrypted.
•You can no longer browse or restore individual photo backups with iPhoto 9.1.5 or greater.
See Restoring from Time Machine with iPhoto '11 and OS X Lion. There's a rather tacky workaround in the pink box of How do I view or restore selected items?
•The TM menubar icon shows an exclamation mark if the destination isn't available when a backup is due, and the Prefs Panel shows Delayed, instead of waiting 10 days.
•3rd-party NAS (network) drives may need updates to work with Time Machine.
•Backups only save the current Version of files (as do CCC and SD clones)

Look back at the One Young World conference
A youth leadership conference brought together inspiring people from around the globe, reports ICAS representative Colin Young.
I was very fortunate and proud to be asked to represent ICAS, and be part of the Chartered Accountants Worldwide (CAW) cohort, at the One Young World (OYW) summit, held on 15-19 October 2014 in Dublin.
This international youth leadership conference brought together delegates from across the globe to meet "counsellors" (well-known figures speaking at the event) and tackle major issues including sustainability, conflict resolution, justice and fairness, with a commitment to lasting positive change.
OYW was an exciting event to be involved with. CAW is very new and the summit was a great opportunity to meet with accountants from all over the world and people from lots of other backgrounds.
One of the important activities for me at the conference was to highlight the importance of CAs and what we do. Maybe a lot of people in other fields of business aren't aware of what is involved in being a CA. How many people across the world know about ICAS, for example, and do they know it's the oldest professional body?
Speakers included:
- Former Irish president Mary Robinson
- OYW counsellor Bob Geldof
- Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny
- OYW founders David Jones and Kate Robertson.
We had the chance to quiz the counsellors on a wide range of current topics, such as former UN secretary general Kofi Annan; Meghan Markle, of the US TV programme Suits; Anthony Jenkins, CEO of Barclays plc, and Boris Becker, the youngest ever Wimbledon men's singles champion.
I was fortunate to meet Irish CA Ronan Dunne (CEO of Telefonica UK). Like all the counsellors, he was extremely approachable, and supporting and encouraging of all the OYW delegates.
Stand-out moments
The first for me was Yeonmi Park, a 21-year-old North Korean, who told a harrowing tale about what life was like for her family and friends under the country's regime. Speaking out has led to threats of being executed if she ever returns home.
Secondly, at one of the final sessions of the summit, six local speakers, all with different types of disabilities, took to the stage, and left with a standing ovation and tears flowing from everyone in the auditorium. They were the most courageous, enthusiastic and determined characters I have ever listened to. OYW was an incredible, inspiring, humbling and, at times, heartbreaking experience.
On my return from Dublin I began another exciting opportunity, working as a finance analyst with Edrington, one of Scotland's leading international spirits companies, with responsibility for the Russian, Turkish and Eastern Europe markets.
At OYW, it was fantastic to work with and meet so many different people from different cultures, experiences and backgrounds and I strongly believe that this will help me with my new job. Becoming a chartered accountant is a difficult challenge but once in this position, you have the qualities, resources and capabilities to really make a change in this world.
Working with ICAS
I joined the ICAS Grampian Committee when I moved up to Aberdeen. Originally, I was bridging the gap between the Student Society and the local area committee.
I now advise on newly qualified and student participation, trying to bridge the link and get younger member involvement.
I also attend various events representing the committee and look at planning events for younger members with the committee to help them see the variety of opportunities open to a CA. It is really important to build a community of CAs in Aberdeen where younger members can be supported and advised by older CAs.

A young widower battles demons both actual and figurative in "Citadel," a suburban nightmare with socioeconomic underpinnings.
After witnessing a brutal attack on his pregnant wife by a band of marauding kids, Tommy (Aneurin Barnard) is left with paralyzing agoraphobia and a baby daughter he can barely relate to. Goggle-eyed and clenched, trapped in an anonymous concrete desert where transport is scarce and utilities unreliable, Tommy finds solace in a warmhearted hospice nurse (Wunmi Mosaku) and therapy to modify his flinching body language. But when the fiendish imps — all wearing identical hoodies — return to claim his daughter, Tommy discovers there's more to their viciousness than a lack of parental supervision.
Shot primarily in and around some crumbling tower blocks in Glasgow, "Citadel" occasionally veers into ludicrousness, especially with the introduction of an angry priest (James Cosmo) who turns out to have a connection to the murderous minors. But this spare first feature from the Irish filmmaker Ciaran Foy (drawing on his own experiences) has an atavistic pulse, evoking a decaying society where elevators fail and bus drivers cower behind mesh grills. Steeped in the fear of poverty, the film prompts us to wonder what's gestating in those low-income tower blocks: feral monsters or economically deprived delinquents? Its mind is already made up.
"Citadel" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Dark corridors, deadly syringes and deformed juniors.Continue reading the main story

Mannes Faculty Member Huang Ruo Named First Artist-in-Residence at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw
Throughout his composer career, Huang Ruo has drawn on the myriad cultures—the United States, where he lives; China, where he was born; and Western Europe, the region of the world from which his wife hails—to which he's been exposed.
Now, the member of the Mannes School of Music Composition faculty is adding Dutch culture to the mix as he serves as the first composer-in-residence in its history of the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam's world-famous concert hall.
"I have the wonderful privilege of living in the great city of Amsterdam for several months, where I will create new work inspired by my new life there," he says.
Ruo's residency covers the 2015-16 season; during that time, he plans to compose several compositions, which will be premiered at Concertgebouw. The Chinese-born American composer is sharing his experiences on Tumblr.

The Deputy PM asked the State appraisal council for the project to promptly appraise the project and report to the Government.
Additionally, the Ministry of Transport was asked to complete a report on the project for the Politburo and National Assembly, clarifying the total investment, progress schedule, the significance of the project, and policies needed to implement it.
The Deputy PM also said that policies and mechanisms are needed to draw investment and hasten the progress of the project. However, they must be conducted in an open and transparent manner.
Ministries were also urged to send their ideas on mechanisms and policies for the project to the Ministry of Transport by May 15.
Deputy PM Binh also agreed on adding the Dau Day-Phan Thiet section to the project, saying it will be discussed in another meeting.
A national steering committee will be set up on the investment of the project led by Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung. The committee will have responsibility for directing the implementation of the project.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Transport will be in charge of conducting the project.
The State Bank of Vietnam was assigned to propose measures to mobilise capital resources for the project, while monitoring the provision of credit to ensure investors' responsibility in providing promised capital.
The Ministries of Planning and Investment, Finance, Natural Resources and Environment, Construction and other relevant ministries and agencies were requested to design supervision over the implementation of the project in the form of build-operate-transfer.-VNA

Not so. Ten or so years ago I was in the Tate Britain, where there are ten rooms containing his works. This gave me plenty of opportunity to see his paintings "up close and personal" as they used to say. And I didn't like most of the later, archetypical Turners that Modernist apologists gush over because of their near-abstract qualities. So there: I really, truly didn't like what I saw. During later visits to the Tate, I never set foot in those Turner rooms again.
Background information about Turner can be found here.
Turner's painting were not always the wispy things he is famous for. He evolved, as most artists do. Below are examples of his paintings made when he was in his late 20s and early 30s. They indicate his focus on landscapes and marine subjects along with a growing interest on the effects of light and atmosphere.
Included is one painting where people are the focus, and I consider it inferior to the others, some of which I find fairly likable. Also included is a late painting (he was 65) that is somewhat at odds with the atmospheric seascapes he is most noted for.

Why Is Link Building Important?
Link building has been the most common way for websites to gain ranking, and gain better search engine placement. What is a link and how can it help a businesses website rank? A link is a mention from one website to another website, when a website receives multiple links from authoritative websites the website gains authority in the eyes of the search engines. Search engines have become more intelligent over the years and look for relevancy between sites. For Example, a search engine understands that the terms "Metal" and "Steel" are relevant to each other. At Boasting BiZ we help you create great content on your site that gets linked to naturally.
What does relevancy have to do with link building?
Over the years many link building companies have done whatever they can to manipulate the search engines, they used link building tools, and link building software to gain as many links as possible. These link building strategies ended up polluting the web, and the results in the search engines were manipulated. Links were being exchanged and placed in irrelevant places. One would find links to a "real estate" website pointing at a "cheap shoes" website. What do these sites have in common, nothing! In other words search engines want to give users the best possible experience and they wanted to ensure that sites linking from one to another made complete sense. Recent changes in search engines have shown that if the sites that are linking to each other are not relevant, they can hurt each other rather than help each other.
We Build You Business Trust and Links With Authority
At Boasting BiZ we only build links in relevant places. We ensure that these links are relevant and authoritative by checking every sites backlinks and qualitative features. If a website is lacking these qualitative features or if the website looks like it has been using manipulative tactics, we do not associate your business with them. The link building expert team at Boasting BiZ will find relevant and authoritative directories, news sites, and guest blogging opportunities for your website.

The Virtues Project
The 'Virtues Project' at Kehelland helps us all to develop good character qualities such as kindness, honesty and creativity in our children. Each fortnight we focus on a virtue which is introduced at the start of the week on Monday's assembly; this is followed by a lesson in the week which allows children to further develop their understanding of good character through role-play, story or activities. During the week, school staff aim to spot pupils who are demonstrating this virtue and provide praise or further guidance. " I can see the courage you showed", " Thank you for your helpfulness" , "What virtue would help in this situation", etc Instead of focusing on what a child is doing wrong it's really good to let them know when they are doing something right.
The Virtues Project links to our behaviour code - when a child needs to change their behaviour we refer them to the virtue they need to develop. As teachers we are trying to highlight the positive and reward and acknowledge children as they strengthen their characters.
The Character Curriculum
Our character curriculum was commissioned by Birmingham University who recognised the unique nature of our virtues work. The headteacher Mr Smith wrote the curriculum, a sequence of lessons which address particular virtues. The whole school studies the same character quality or virtue at any given time and this provides a heightened focus and provide opportunities for year group interaction, whole-school assemblies, and making efficient use of visiting speakers. As children progress up through the school, their knowledge and understanding of each virtue will become more and more sophisticated.
Each week there are opportunities for children to explore and practise the virtues through role play and circle time.

Serena Williams entered the United States Open as the hands-down favorite to win her fourth title here, and first since 2008. Through five matches, the Wimbledon champion and Olympic gold medalist has done nothing to change that perception.
Williams made quick work of Ana Ivanovic on Wednesday, dismissing the No. 12 seed in only 58 minutes with a barrage of aces and groundstroke winners. None of Williams's opponents at the tournament has taken a set, and none has won more than four games.
The reason for Williams's dominance? Her serve, maybe the best ever in the women's game. Heading into the semifinals, Williams has faced just 11 break points and has batted away all but two.
Her opponent, Sara Errani, must be wondering what — if anything — she can do to counter. I don't think she can do much.
The No. 10 seed is a talented player whose best weapon is her feet. Like David Ferrer on the men's side, she'll get to almost every ball. Also like Ferrer, Errani doesn't overwhelm you with power, but instead wins by feeding her opponents rally ball after rally ball in hopes of goading them to make mistakes.
That was how Errani upset the favored Angelique Kerber in the fourth round. After winning a competitive first set, Errani played almost error-free tennis in the second, while Kerber started missing, spraying 19 unforced errors around the court. In the quarterfinals, Roberta Vinci (who also happens to be her doubles partner) tried to counter Errani's steady baseline game by attacking the net, but wasn't able to generate enough on her approach shots to make the strategy work.
Williams can generate power, and plenty of it. She's also comfortable finishing points at the net. Every short ball Errani lofts Williams's way will come back with interest: more pace, more angle, more spin. Errani is a steady, tenacious player who will make Williams earn her points. But barring a monumental letdown, Williams should advance to the final.
Victoria Azarenka vs. Maria Sharapova: These women aren't big on finesse. Their strategy boils down to hitting the ball as hard as possible to a spot where the opponent isn't. After winning the title here in 2006, Sharapova has had a string of disappointing trips to Flushing Meadows, never making it past the fourth round.
This is Sharapova's best U.S. Open since winning the title, but the No. 3 seed has looked far from unbeatable. After three relatively easy wins, Sharapova looked headed for a fourth against the veteran Nadia Petrova, taking the first set easily. Then things unwound. Sharapova dropped the second set and was down a break in the third when a rain delay saved her. After the break, Sharapova came back to pull out the win.
Sharapova played a slightly cleaner match against Marion Bartoli in the quarterfinals, but again, it wasn't championship-caliber tennis. Azarenka, on the other hand, has been playing that kind of tennis, virtually untouchable through four rounds. In the quarterfinals, she played a spectacular match against the defending champion, Samantha Stosur, gutting out a 7-5 tiebreaker in the third. Sharapova is capable of winning this match if she can reduce her errors, particularly on her serve. But I believe Azarenka will move through to her second Grand Slam final of the year.
Leander Paes/Radek Stepanek vs. Bob Bryan/Mike Bryan: There isn't much left for the Bryan brothers to prove. They are Olympic gold medalists and the winningest doubles pair of all time. They have had a year-end No. 1 ranking a record seven times. And today they go for their 12th Grand Slam men's doubles title. A win would move them into a tie for second place in the Open era and fifth all time. Leander Paes, who is still playing top-flight tennis at the age of 39, isn't far behind with seven Grand Slams. Stepanek is a terrific doubles player himself. This should be a highly competitive final.

There was a dull scrape as the shovel dug deep into the dirt, digging down and pulling away with a heap of muck which was carelessly thrown aside before the blade of the shovel dug deep again. The rats gathered around the scene, some sitting atop grave stones, others hiding cautiously under bushes, not yet realising that the figure wielding the spade and whistling tunelessly had absolutely no interest in any of them.
The figure in question was not, in truth, actually whistling. It is rather difficult for skeletons to whistle as they are woefully unequipped to do so but still this one continued to do so regardless, the high pitched sound floating into the watching animal's ears without bothering to actually travel through the air. The skeleton was knee deep in the ground, slowly working his way down to the coffin of the next cadaver he was to uncover. If his calculations were correct then the cadaver inside would be as fleshless as he himself was and ready to be uncovered. Pausing for a moment the skeleton wiped non-existent sweat from his brow and clambered out the hole he had dug and walked over to a wooden cart that was sat on the path that ran through the middle of the graveyard. The rats tensed in anticipation as the skeleton reached into the cart and withdrew a small plastic zip lock bag which contained a sandwich. The figure removed the sandwich and looked at it in disappointment.
'Cheese and pickle again? Why can I never get any ham?' it said with a sigh that was punctuated by a small click as the teeth snapped shut.
Then the skeleton took a bite from the sandwich which dropped through the hole in the jaw, bounced off his ribcage and landed on the floor. The rats surged forward, fighting each other to get to the largest chunks of bread and cheese and make off back to relative safety. Their caution was again pointless as the skeleton paid them no heed, taking another bite of sandwich and causing another rush of rats before he put the sandwich back in its little bag and returning to work. By the time the coffin was uncovered the skeleton's white bones were streaked with mud and when it was finally done it hurled the spade up out of the grave with a sigh of victory.
Bending down and plucking the lid off he observed the body inside. The cadaver was less a corpse and more just another skeleton, devoid of all but the smallest lumps of flesh that the first skeleton picked off carefully and threw up out the grave, causing another charge of rats. Bending down again the skeleton placed the asker arms of the second down by its sides and then clicked its jaw back into place where it had come loose. The first skeleton then stood and looked expectantly at the second as it lay there motionless before letting out an irritated sigh
'Well come on then' it said irritated before giving the second skeleton a slap around the skull with a crack that reverberated around the stillness of the graveyard.
The second skeleton started to shudder on the wooden floor of the grave, the bones drawing closer together as if pulled by magnets and the whole structure convulsed before slumping still. There was the sound of breath escaping lungs that no longer existed and the second skeleton sat up, managing to give the impression that it was blinking groggily despite having none of the required features.
'Morning' said the first skeleton with as much cheer as he could muster under the circumstances.
'…What?' asked the second, the words escaping the jaw which remained solidly shut.
'I said, morning' said the first again, it's jaw moving to simulate what it would have been like if he had had the flesh left to move the bones.
'Wh…where…' asked the second
'You're in a grave' said the first 'in a graveyard' he added rather unnecessarily.
The second skeleton looked around, taking in its surroundings.
'I thought it was something like that' it said eventually
'Well come on then, get up' said the first and offered the second a boney hand.
'Should I?'
'What do you mean?' asked the first, confused
'Well surely I should just lie down here and be dead, that doesn't usually involve standing up does it?'
'Did you plan on just lying around for the rest of time?'
'Well I guess it was plan, only I haven't ever seen a skeleton walking around.' Said the second, taking the firsts still outstretched hand and pulling himself to his feet.
'Well have you ever seen a skeleton just lying around?' asked the first
'Well…I guess not.' Said the second 'Speaking of which, shouldn't I be terrified?'
'I think emotions tend to be left in the flesh.'
'Ah I see, also how are we speaking? That tends to be something that I didn't think skeletons did either.'
'Yes, as the Narrator pointed out we are lacking the proper equipment, but bear in mind you are also hearing me without ears.'
The second skeleton paused and thought about this before shrugging and deciding that it was probably better not to go into too much detail. The first skeleton clambered out of the grave and turned around to help the second out as well. They stood looking down at the grave and contemplated where they had just been before either of them spoke. It was the first that broke the silence.
'Would you like a sandwich?'
'Will it do anything?'
'Well it won't bring you back to life or do back flips or the like'
'I mean, is there any point of eating it? Can I even eat it?'
'As well as you could ever eat before you died. Unless you died of starvation of course.'
'I don't remember dying at all'
The first skeleton walked around to the head of the grave and scraped his finger bones across the face of it, clearing off dirt and moss.
'Nope, it says nothing about choking'
'That's not really the kind of thing that a gravestone really says.'
The first skeleton shrugged
'I dunno, it could be useful'

MERCYLESS - Abject Offerings (GREAT DANE Records - CD 2014)
I guess I should start with some history facts first… Back in the early 90's, like most of the Polish metal fans, I was buying / trading all these pirate Polish cassettes from "labels" like MG or Takt. They were releasing many great foreign death or thrash metal albums, not only from big bands like Slayer, Metallica or Morbid Angel, but also a lot of smaller, more underground stuff. Oh, I remember having so many killer, now classic, albums on these pirate tapes… like for example Torchure and "Beyond the Veil", Acheron and "Rites of the Black Mass", No Return with "Contamination Rises" or Baphomet "The Dead Shall Inherit"… Just to mention few, as there were more! And one of them was also Mercyless and "Abject Offerings" album. I don't remember where I got this cassette from; I never read any interviews with this band, I don't think anyone recommended them to me, so I guess I just got this tape, because I liked the artwork and maybe I got someone in the shop to play it to me… And such death / thrash metal sounds were my favourite thing back then, so I probably could not resist. Oh, this turned out to be truly a killer band and amazing album! Years later I also got a CD version of "Abject Offerings" and I still consider Mercyless to be one of the most underrated and killer European bands. This album is just so damn good. I don't know why they were not as lucky as some other bands, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that really Mercyless did only two great albums ("Abject Offerings" and "Coloured Funeral") and later, when death metal stopped being so popular they did just poor recordings and soon split up, never breaking through into the first death / thrash metal league. I come back to "Abject Offerings" quite often and recently I had one more opportunity, as Max Otero (guitarist / vocalist) sent me over a newest version of the album, released in 2014 by Great Dane Records. It is then a killer opportunity to remind or recommend this awesome band and their classic debut, more so also because it is now easy to find in distros around, so maybe you'll have a chance to get it and listen to some of the best French death / thrash along with Massacra!
But let me just say first that this new digipack version does look quite poor in my opinion and the layout is rather disappointing. It's just a simple fold out digipack, with no booklet, which would contain the lyrics or some archive material… So, all you'll find here is the artwork – which by the way has also been changed (but it stays in the same style as the original artwork) and one band photo. What a shame that they did not take more care of this release! Even my original CD looks better, as it has quite few band photos and all lyrics! So, this 2014 re-release is disappointing from the visual side… Luckily the music still sounds damn awesome and it's the only reason why it is so worth getting! Yes, this album didn't grow old at all!
"Abject Offerings" is just pure, classic thrashing death metal, so typical for the early 90's. Imagine a mixture of bands like Pestilence, Massacra, Death, Possessed, Morgoth, Burial (Holland), Torchure, Cancer and so on… This is really nice, technical, but intense and aggressive material, with quite few faster, but also some slower songs… all in all, very diverse, technical, but maybe not too complex, but really memorable, sometimes even slightly melodic death / thrash in the old school vein. I really like the riffs here, as they're aggressive, but also memorable, with some truly awesome parts or guitar solos and really nice arrangements. There are so many details, all these nicely arranged parts that the album really makes a stunning impression. And more so, this album did not grow old after all these years. It still sounds so damn fresh and spotless really, better than many other albums from the same time. And that is something remarkable. And it only proves the highest quality of this album and that it's just one of these special, classic death metal records from the old days, which are just a must to have for all fans.
So, I am disappointed that "Abject Offerings" is so rarely mentioned among the best European death metal records from the early 90's, I hope that this reissue will bring some more credit to Mercyless. This digipack, despite its poor presentation, is truly must to have, also a new vinyl version is coming, so… what else can I do, than once again recommend "Abject Offerings"? Fantastic album. Also, check out Mercyless' come back record "Unholy Black Splendor", which is also a fantastic, killer stuff!
Standout tracks: "Abject Offerings", "Substance of Purity", "Without Christ"
Final rate: 90/100

Castle Crashers Dev Hoping To Bring Next Game To PC
Last week, I got excited and gush-puked all over this very website because The Behemoth's Castle Crashers is finally crashing (in a good way, I mean) our most castle-like of platforms. And hey, it only took… four years to get here. For now, meanwhile, the paradoxically tiny developer's next project, a co-op/competitive platformer called BattleBlock Theater whose main character is named Hatty Hattington (sold!), is only slated for release on Xbox. However, The Behemoth has told RPS that – if all goes according to plan – things won't stay that way for too long.
Speaking in a highly sensual Hivemind-to-Hivemind brain meld, an entity that simply signed its emails as "The Behemoth" explained:
"Hopefully [we can get BattleBlock Theater onto PC]. We'd like to be on as many platforms as we can, just need the resources and time to accomplish it all."
Further, the strange and majestic creature broke down the reasons why Castle Crashers has taken so, so, so long to reach our shores.
"We have a small team and we can only do so many projects at the same time. BattleBlock Theater is taking the primary focus for all of our development, but we had the opportunity to get it on Steam and we ran with it. Outside of the timing though, Castle Crashers is our baby, as all our games are, and we want to support it and see it across as many platforms as possible."
So, at this point, it's really just a matter of timing and resources. The Behemoth, however, prides itself on being a small, tightly knit collective, so it's doubtful that it'll expand simply for the purpose of putting more ports on more platforms. Hopefully, though, Castle Crashers' arrival on Steam leads to a faster turnaround time for BattleBlock.
And now, for your viewing pleasure, here's a trailer of gut-wrenching, heart-stopping peril set to very tasteful elevator jazz.

SOA Lightning
Understanding the real-world value of Service Oriented Architecture is a critical success factor for development of your SOA Strategy.
It is not just about technology and tooling. SOA is not something that you can simply buy off the shelf, implement and then magically reap the benefits. Rather, it's a careful balance of effective vision, planning, diligent management, and execution.
Developing a SOA vision leads to success. It is the core from which to build your SOA solution and it should include:
The advantages and benefits of SOA (business process configuration, shared information and data consistency, enterprise integration, reuse, agility, adaptability, mitigation of impact from change, and services development cost containment) can be reached. Yet, they are not easily achieved. They require diligent focus and compliance. Taking short-cuts can detract from, reduce or even prohibit your ability to reap the rewards of SOA.

501 - Warrior of the Lost World - "Look! It's a graduation photo and he's dreaming of Fred Williamson." Rapid-fire riffing ensures plenty of laughs for this episode. The guys attack the subject matter with more energy than I've seen lately. There was an impressive lack of silence in their commentary, culminating in Servo's tour-de-force at the end of the movie in which he names every single person in an entire bleacher section. In the tradition of Cave Dwellers, this was a stellar start to the season.
The riffing that had tears coming from the corners of my eyes was the section dedicated to Megaweapon. Dear, sweet Megaweapon. When Megaweapon runs over that damned jive-talking motorcycle... that was the happiest moment in my recent life. I was cheering right along with the guys. I was thrilled and not entirely unsurprised when an entire host segment was dedicated to "the most interesting character in the movie." Real stand up guy.
I'm also a fan of the "Things to Do Post-Apocalypse" host segment. Normally, the "list of funny things"-style host segments aren't my favorite, but I have a particular affinity for the subject matter after reading The Stand a few too many times.
Gypsy: "Hey, why aren't you in your super-charged cycle?" Joel: "Oh, shut up! Just shut up!" Thus begins the wildly speculative reading-way-too-much-into-it analysis of any interactions between Joel and Gypsy during host segments. This was, indeed, the only contact between the two during the twelfth episode before Joel takes a hike. Pretend anger, or was Joel telling Jim to "just shut up" about his ideas for the future of the show? Aww, I can't even convince me of that. Joel doesn't have a mean bone in his body.
"Oh, now he's the mayor of Loserville." (8/10)

between 20° 26' and 20° 41' N., and 84° 32' and 85° 52' E., with an
area of I68 square miles. It is bounded on the north by the State of
Dhenkanal; on the east and south by Cuttack District; and on the west
by the States of Tigiria and Dhenkanal. The country is level, low-lying,
and very subject to inundation. The soil is fertile, and the cultivation
consists chiefly of rice, with an occasional crop of sugar-cane, pulses,
and millets.
The founder of the State was Sri Karan Niladri Bawarta Patnaik, who
belonged to the Karan caste. It is said that he was the Bawarta or
minister of the Purl Raja, who conferred on him the title of Raja and
gave him Athgarh as a reward for his services, or, according to another
account, as a dowry on marrying the Raja's sister. The present chief,
Sri Karan Biswanath Bawarta Patnaik, is the thirteenth in descent.
The State has an estimated revenue of Rs. 5o,ooo, and pays a tribute of
Rs. 2,800 to the British Government. The population increased from
36,603 in I89r to 43,784 in I901; of the latter number all but 2,643
are Hindus. The most numerous castes are the Chasas (o,0ooo),
Sahars (6,ooo), and Khandaits and Pans (5,000 each). The average
density is 260 persons per square mile. The number of villages is 192,
of which the principal is Athgarh, the residence of the Raja. A small
Christian colony is settled in three hamlets near Chagan village. The
State is traversed by the old high road from Cuttack to Sambalpur and
by the newly opened Cuttack-Angul-Sambalpur road. The Mahanadi
river, which runs along the southern boundary, is navigable by boats.
There is some trade in grain, and fuel and charcoal are largely exported
to Cuttack. The State maintains a charitable dispensary, a middle
English school, an upper primary school, 75 lower primary schools, and
one Sanskrit tot.
Athmallik.-One of the Tributary States of Orissa, Bengal, lying
between 20° 37' and 2I° 5' N. and 84° 16' and 84° 48' E., with an area
of 730 square miles. It is bounded on the north by the State of Raira-
khol; on the east by Angul District; on the south by the Mahanadi
river, which separates it from Baud; and on the west by Sonpur and
Rairakhol. The country is for the most part covered with dense jungle,
and a long range of forest-clad hills runs along its southern side parallel
with the course of the Mahanadi. The origin of the State is obscure.
According to tradition, the founder of the family, Pratap Deo, came to
Purl and quarrelled with the Raja, who put to death two of his seven
brothers. The survivors fled to Bonai, and established themselves there.
Pratap Deo next proceeded to Baud and thence to Athmallik, of which
he took possession after killing the Dom chief. Official records, how-
ever, show that till lately the State had no separate existence, and in the
treaty engagement of 1804 it is mentioned as a tributary of Baud. It
was treated as a separate State in the sanad granted to the chief in 1894,

I know that I've already written a lot about how important it is to pair a coupon with a sale to get the most savings possible. There is one other tip that I want you to keep in mind when you shop: focus on the small size.
It's hard to switch to this mentality. I have my Costco membership and there are definitely some things that are cheaper to buy in large packages.
However, when it comes to getting things for free with coupons, you need to change your focus. Free is always free (repeat that). Free is always free. Many coupons do not have size restrictions on what you can buy, and can be used for the small or travel sized packages.
Check out the pictures below. I needed to buy sunscreen. Last year I purchased a large tube of Banana Boat sunscreen for $8.79. It is a 6 fl oz tube.
I was able to get FIVE 1 fl oz tubes EACH of Coppertone and Banana boat for FREE after coupons.
10 fl oz of sunscreen= FREE. And since free is always free, I win! 🙂
Here's what I bought:

Dacula takes its name from the letters found in Decatur and Atlanta. A CSX railroad station once helped to grow the town; the station later closed in the 1950s. Beginning in the 1980s, Dacula experienced rapid population growth and now has 10 public schools.
Today, residents look forward to Dacula's annual Memorial Day parade.

The Timberwolves could use a dose of optimism after a 3-7 start, and Ricky Rubio provided some Thursday by claiming the team has playoff potential "if we show up for 48 minutes in every single game."
"Sometimes it looks like we can be a playoff team, sometimes it doesn't," the Wolves' rookie point guard said following practice. "We have to realize where we are doing good and where we are doing bad and try to avoid those moments. We could be 5-5 or 6-4 if we play from the beginning of the game at 100 percent."
The Wolves, who play at New Orleans tonight, can use Memphis' 2010-11 season as a barometer for making the Western Conference playoffs.
The Grizzlies earned the final spot in the Western Conference playoffs last season with a 46-36 record – a .561 winning percentage.
Based on that percentage, the Wolves would have to win at least 37 games in the abbreviated 66-game schedule to contend for a playoff spot. To reach 37 wins, the Wolves would have to go 34-22 the rest of the season.
Rubio could find out how tough it is to earn a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
All-star surge: Rubio and Kevin Love are among the top five at their positions in fan balloting for the NBA All-Star Game. Fans vote for the starters on the Eastern and Western Conference rosters.
Rubio is third among Western Conference guards with 133,520 votes, trailing Kobe Bryant (690,613) of the Los Angeles Lakers and Chris Paul (540,173) of the Los Angeles Clippers. Rubio is averaging 10.2 points and 7.9 assists, which ranks eighth in the league.
Love, who played in the 2011 All-Star Game in Los Angeles, is fifth among West forwards with 143,814 votes. Love is averaging 23.6 points and 14.7 rebounds.
Fans can vote at NBA arenas or nba.com.
No word on lineup changes: Coach Rick Adelman said he will wait until he meets with his staff in New Orleans before deciding whether to make any lineup changes for tonight's game.
Adelman talked of potential changes after the starters struggled again in Tuesday's loss to Chicago. In the past three games, Adelman has started Luke Ridnour and Wayne Ellington in the backcourt, Kevin Love and Wes Johnson at forward and Darko Milicic at center.
Barea and Beasley ailing: Point guard J.J. Barea (hamstring, ankle) and forward Michael Beasley (foot) did not accompany the team to New Orleans for the start of a two-game road trip. The Wolves play Saturday night at Atlanta.
Barea, who had missed four games with a strained right hamstring, is slowed by a sprained left ankle, which he injured Tuesday night. When Adelman replaced Barea with Rubio with 8:18 left in the fourth quarter, a frustrated Barea headed straight to the locker room.
"He might be out awhile," Adelman said.
Beasley suffered a right midfoot sprain in the fourth quarter of the Wolves' Jan. 6 game against Cleveland.
Briefly: Love had an excused absence from practice to deal with a "personal matter." He traveled with the team to New Orleans.
— Center Brad Miller, recovering from knee surgery, practiced with the team for the first time this season. He participated only in half-court situations. He has yet to be cleared for full workouts.
— Guard-forward Martell Webster, recovering from back surgery Sept. 28, will fly to Portland on Saturday to meet with his physician. Webster is hoping to get clearance to begin practicing.

I have 8 more days until my surgery, Frankly, I'm a little nervous about the whole thing. I don't like the whole blood clotting issue. I have #FactorVLeiden and #LupusAnticoagulant. Then, there's the #primaryimmunodeficiency. I'm trying to think positive. I think that in my case, this would be a little easier to deal with if I wasn't a nurse. In some cases, ignorance is bliss. I know the surgeon was a little freaked out, but thankfully agreed to remove the gallbladder. The first surgeon refused and no amount of cajoling could change his mind. I think that's what has me a little nervous.
I've been thinking about my best memories a lot lately. One that came to mind was when I was swimming in the lake with my then boyfriend and, he asked me how does one pick out a horse. I laughed and told him that you don't really pick out a horse. They pick you.
As soon as the words were spoken, out of no where, I heard a loud whinny and this horse comes running through the yard and right to the lake where he stood neighing and tossing his beautiful head. He was a gray dapple. My boyfriend remained, swimming in place, with his mouth hanging open. I swam to the dock and went to the horse. He was very friendly. I looked him over for a brand, a tattoo, anything to identify him, but saw nothing. I walked up to the cabin to change out of my bathing suit and into something more horse-friendly. my boyfriend started making calls to figure out who may have lost a horse.
I had an hour of pure bliss with the stray horse before we figured out where he belonged. He was from the neighboring farm. He must have gotten out through the gate which someone had left open. I walked him back to the farm with my boyfriend following behind on a four-wheeler, steadily bitching about the flies flying around the horse. The horse was named Jack. He was about 3 1/2 yrs. old. He followed me back like an obedient pup. I got him back in the pasture and secured the gate. I rubbed his forehead a few more times and climbed onto the four-wheeler. I could hear Jack whinnying loudly and felt bad for him. He was just starved for attention. The lady that owned him wasn't real nice or, I may have asked if I could come visit Jack from time to time. It would have satisfied my horse-craziness and, Jack wouldn't be so lonely.
Once back at the cabin, my boyfriend teasingly said, "Would a million dollars pick you like that horse just did? We could go buy a lottery ticket, if that's how it works."
"I wish!" I laughed.
That day was one of the nicest days ever. It had started on a positive note and ended with a star-filled sky and the call of an old hoot owl in the distance. I like days like that. I don't need a lot of excitement to satisfy me. I like the simple pleasures.
I've never asked for much in this life. I just want peace of mind. I have family and friends that love me and support me. I have my dogs and this little bunny that make me smile and touch my heart. I don't need much more than that. I just wish my surgery was guaranteed to go just right so that I can continue to appreciate the present and dream about a future.
If wishes were horses, we'd all be riding!

Ian Martin appears in the Court of Environmental Justice
MONDAY In the morning, scribble 'crop-up' to describe the next, more organic generation of pop-up. In the afternoon, propose 'iContemporany' as the style matrix for ephemeral privatised funscapes, then have a little lie down. In the evening, predict 'social imagineering' as a nudge-tool delivering scalable consensus via soft-money throughlines for professional dickheads.
TUESDAY Yet more grief in a buff envelope from the Royal Institute of Chartered Auteurs. Not only late with my subs again; I've been summoned to a disciplinary hearing.
It's like living in Stalinist Bloody Russia, but with ecology narks instead of the KGB. Now the spies are embedded among us as ordinary-looking liberals in cardigans, nobody's safe from their prying sanctimony.
WEDNESDAY I hate the arsey RICA and its arsey headquarters - a hushed, closeted Georgian townhouse briskly converted into butch relevance with sextuple glazing, biodegradable carpet, gloomy lighting and verbalised carbon dioxide.
I am led to the Court of Environmental Justice. Airless and smug - the adjudicators and clerks all look like they just finished The Times crossword. I have been arraigned on three charges, to wit…
1. That I did, with malice, aforethought and in contravention of the Voluntary Accord on 'Living Smart' (Helsinki Agreement 2005), include a fireplace in the cited Luxury Retreat For A CEO Of Digital Services, thereby encouraging the client to burn fossil fuel and smoke illicitly up the chimney. Fined 500 guineas and three points on my auteuring licence.
2. That I did, with disregard to the hurt and annoyance of others, conduct a telephone conversation during the national two-minute silence for global warming. Docked one week's earnings. Three points and 20 hours global community service.
3. That I did, with orchestrated contempt for Earth's Precious Resources, specify a mahogany and ivory panda enclosure as part of the cited Underground Leisure Hub For An Arms Billionaire. Fined 400 sovereigns, three points and compulsory attendance at the Rebraining: A Green World conference.
Oh balls, not another all-day berkfest, please. I'm amazed it's still going, to be honest, this sustainability nonsense.
THURSDAY To a mid-range Mayfair hotel for Rebraining: A Green World. Half the delegates look like evangelical fitness freaks. Entitled superiority, outdoorsy. Tan level: 'Branson'. The other half look like week-old balloons with faces drawn on them. They're the cocky office bastards who get on everyone's nerves all the time, who do suggestive little dances if their football team's won, and whose favourite nouns are 'win' and 'fail'. Then while they're off on a site visit to a partially constructed luxury hospice or whatever, everyone says 'ooh perfect let's send bastard office cock to this stupid green conference…'
I despise everyone here, ha ha ha oh God yet here I am, one of them. I too seem to be wearing a name badge and steeling myself for the introductory remarks of some 160-year-old Welsh mentalist who once built a weekend cottage out of fucking car batteries and did the recycling for Nye Bevan or Ronnie Scott's or the Imperial War Museum, possibly all of them, don't ask me I've nodded off.
A bit later I award myself a 45-minute comfort break in order to miss 'HOW GREEN WAS MY VALUE - property and construction experts talk about fiscal responsibility in the context of ecologically sound design. How to monetise probity and create natural run-offs via green margins'. It seems reasonable to extend the comfort break into a comfort lunch. I make myself as comfortable as possible, then weave back into the conference suite for closing remarks.
These include: 'Dry stone walls make good occasional neighbours'. 'Articulate the particulate!' 'All footprints are shadows, all shadows footprints'. 'If we are to conserve, then let us serve. And DESERVE, that rhymes too'. 'Green is the new black, and grey is the new pink'. 'Return to your conservatories and prepare for jam-making!'
FRIDAY Hand in my validated attendance form for Rebraining: A Green World at the RICA. Boom, that's me in the clear for a bit. Now very keen to get back to auteuring the shit out of the built environment.
SATURDAY Five-seven-five-a-side ecological zeitgeist haiku play-offs. 'Lovely rainwater/filling this antique barrel/super picturesque' 2, 'Opportunity/followed by morality/as a retrofit' 3 after a metrical recount.
SUNDAY Recliner-enabled husbandry of planet Me and my precious resources, including a very acceptable 20th-century Armagnac and a coal fire.

The Mitzvah of Chanuka is: A candle for each man and his household! (Shabbos 21B)
How many candles should you light? On the first night light one. From there on continue to add on one more on each night until the final night, there should be eight… (Shulchan Aruch 671:2)
What should we be thinking about while observing night after night, how that single light grows gradually into a Menorah in full bloom in our windows? A few clues! 1) Chanuka the word "chanuka" means chinuch- education and also implies inauguration or initiation. 2) The Mitzvah of Chanuka has a strong publicity component but it is anchored in the home! 3) The number eight, according to the Maharal and others has the symbolic value of reaching beyond the realm of this world which was organized in seven. 4) King Solomon gives another hint, "A candle is a Mitzvah and Torah is light! (Mishlei)! All together now!
My wife and I were strolling one Sunday in our rather modest block and we noticed that the neighbors around the corner had made extraordinary changes in the appearance of their house. There was this lovely bay window filled with ornaments and a Chinese garden with lollipop trees and a well manicured lawn that the husband was cutting with mustache scissors.
My wife asked his wife who was standing out front surveying the progress, "Arlene, lovely improvements! What inspired all this?" She answered shyly, "Well, actually I just needed to replace two broken tiles in the bathroom." She paused there and glared at us as if to say, "Don't you get it?" We stared back at her curiously. So she continued..
"We couldn't find the exact matching color so we redid all of them. Then the wallpaper looked ugly and old in contrast so we did that too. The medicine cabinet seemed decrepit in comparison and so we replaced it. The bathroom became the nicest room in the house but when we walked out into the hallway the rug looked so shoddy that we decided to pull- it up and polish the floors.
Then the front window was a dull match for the shiny new floors. We decided to go deep pocket and install bay windows. When we looked out from the bay windows we noticed how unkempt the lawn had become so we called a Guido the gardener and he created this lovely designer garden!"
I have dangerous hobby. Don't you kids at home try this! I like to read bumper-stickers! Some of them boil my blood, a few make me chuckle, and once in a while I catch a glance at one that even agree with strongly. I don't get it when I see on one side the phrase, "Pro-Choice" which promotes abortion and the other side of the same car, "Imagine World Peace!" What are thinking?! Then I saw one that states, rather sardonically, "Maybe the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about!"
Finally, the one that resonates as an almost universal maxim, "Think Global! Act Local!" Maybe that's what it's all about. That's how we can achieve world peace.
It begins with a real soulful change, an improvement, an action of any size, from deep within. Then it continues to go from in to outward until it is more noticeable even from the outside. So is the nature of Mitzvos. They are doable deeds that lead to a designer garden.

Tea: A ritual into the within
"The container: a vessel, hand sculpted to hold the space of transmutation. The substance: Camillia sinensis. Energy: The Flame which excites the water to boil, poured over tea to pull from it it's essence from which the journey into within begins."
When we sit to sip the leaves of these ancient evergreens, we enter a space without time, surrendering the concept of a map as a lay-out of place & destination. From the very first sip we find ourselves amongst the great mystery. With no direction, distance or expectation we can be nowhere other than the present moment. Whether sitting alone enjoying a cup of earl gray with the sun rising, the scent of bergamont fills the room while a touch of honey softens the aroma. Or the steeping of black aged Pu erh at mid-day in the shade, draws your pallete down into the very roots of you. Subtly lifting the heart, drawing pen to paper as you become a witness to the muse in you.
"Tea" is a practice for some to take flight, to find focus and to stir a sleepy mind. For others it is a ritual held in tiny cups, with each motion significant. The steam rising like fog atop water, clearing to reveal the silent poetry awaiting in each cup.
Tea as a service has allowed me to unfurl much like the bound and patient tea leaves themselves. As an introvert observer, I have traveled all over the world & remained silent through many a journey until i found a way to invite others in. The drinking of tea is shared among so many cultures that language becomes insignificant. From the Mexican coast of the Pacific where I learned about true fear in the face of unforgiving waves & currents, to the canyons of Colorado which echo tales of gold & solitude, I found myself magnetizing others with tiny cups even on the saddest of streets in Granada, where I poured tea for frenchmen while we serenaded the Alhambra with the oldest of love songs.

Good news for video marketing app developers, YouTube have recently announced that they are increasing the Data API limits. This basically means that even more videos are going to be uploaded every day.
100 times more videos will be uploaded as YouTube have made the site functions available for developers to place within their applications. This will give app creators the opportunity to insert, modify and delete resources like uploaded videos or playlists.
Hopefully these new limits will mean a whole host of new apps and innovations utilizing the YouTube framework with creators now being able to really push the boundaries when it comes to the video functionality.
