The California media is abuzz with reports that for the first time, more California voters view Gov. Jerry Brown (D) unfavorably (43%) than favorably (42%). The news comes on the heels of Brown's recent announcement that the state's budget shortfall would be $16 billion–almost twice what was expected, and likely an underestimate.
The Sacramento Bee reports on the Public Policy Institute of California poll, which sampled likely voters:
Brown's declining job approval rating is less a plunge than a shift. Among all adults in California – not just likely voters – Brown's approval rating remains positive, 39 percent to 36 percent, according to the poll.
"It's not surprising," said Jack Pitney, a government professor at Claremont McKenna College. "The economic news is middling, at best, and the state fiscal news is bad."
He said, "In his early months, Californians were willing to give Brown the benefit of the doubt. But his grace period has ended."
(See Breitbart News' Mike Flynn on the perils of polling "adults" versus "likely voters.")
There is no serious recall effort in California, as of right now. However, Brown's failure to rein in public spending–when he was responsible, in his first tenure as governor in the 1970s, for many of the policies now dragging California into the red–is not exactly a shock. Neither party has mustered the courage to confront California's vociferous public unions, its well-funded radical lobbies, or its staggering economic reality.

I photograph whatever is in front of me. I am fascinated by people and their relationships. My lens allows me into peoples worlds that otherwise I wouldn't have an excuse to explore. It all comes down to storytelling. I like to tell stories through photographs.
I have an unhealthy obsession with animals and probably love my dog more than most people. I can't function without a morning cup of tea. I LOVE to travel. I want to see the whole world. Sometimes I dream of living in a tree house by the beach, close to nature and far from civilisation.

Man Pleads Guilty In Death of Officer Noah Leotta (VIDEO)
In a packed Rockville courtroom on Wednesday afternoon, Luis Reluzco, the man charged with hitting and killing Montgomery County Police Officer Noah Leotta, pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter.
According to prosecutors, on Dec. 3rd Reluzco ordered five beers and five shots at a Hooters in Rockville, and allegedly struck Officer Noah Leotta shortly after leaving the restaurant. Tests later showed that Reluzco's blood alcohol level was 0.22, three times the 0.08 legal limit, prosecutors said.
Reluzco is scheduled to be sentenced on August 23. He faces up to ten years in prison.
After the plea hearing, Reluzco's defense attorney, John Roth, told reporters that his client is remorseful. "He spends the bulk of his time praying for Mr. Leotta," Roth said. Roth also noted that Reluzco supports Noah's Law, which is scheduled to be signed by Governor Larry Hogan on May 19th.
Rich Leotta, Officer Leotta's father, also addressed media following Reluzco's plea hearing. "From our stand point, not having to go to trial alleviates some of that pain and suffering of going through all the details that we had a synopsized version of today," Leotta said.

Martin recently got in touch with me to let me know about an XACD frame that he had made a little while ago and about his plans to have 'frame 2.0' produced. I asked him about what he had in mind for his first design:
I originally had a Cove Hummer back in 2007 but had to sell it due to ill health and needed the money to pay the bills etc. and always wanted another Ti frame without the £1500+ price tag. I'm not sure how I come across XACD but anyway I did and am glad I found them. I ride an On One Inbred SS in the winter and used to ride a Santa Cruz Blur in the summer but wanted HT for summer, so my idea was to have Ti Frame that was sort of a cross between the Hummer/Inbred that can take a 100mm – 140mm fork.
I ride mainly XC but also like rocky technical descents/singletrack so needed a bike that can do both for summer riding. Porter at XACD was very good and patient with me as I did change the design several times. I finally agreed on a design, and after that it took about 8 weeks for the frame to arrive.
So I built it up with 130mm fork and 1 x 9 gears and it's been everything I hoped for, I was over the moon with the headtube engraving of the Yorkshire Rose. It's solid at the front end and the wishbones make the back end very forgiving like my Inbred but even better at high speed. It rides better than the Hummer ever did.
And of course the killer question – what would you do differently next time?
If I could design it again (which I am doing as this current frame is going to be my single speed instead of the Inbred) I am going to make the top tube longer by 10mm, put a bend in so it doesn't slope so much but still gives lots of standover height and raise the BB by 10mm and seat tube by about 15mm. Even though wishbone seat stays are my favourite I might alter those to.
But overall I was happy with build and ride quality provided by XACD. I'll send you a copy of my latest frame when Porter's finished it ;-).
Got to agree with Martin there, his head tube engraving came out very sweet indeed! Checking out the rest of the frame I think he's hit the nail on the head with the changes he planned for Mark Two:
The drop of the top tube on the seat tube is pretty extreme, it's below the sleeve that's put in the seat tube to get the correct seat tube size and could put quite a twisting load into that junction. Having the seat post clamp slot at the back will help but lining up the tubes would be better all round.
Looking at the headset spacers and length of exposed seat post it looks like going 'up a size' is a good plan too.
Something else that was interesting, check out the wall thickness on the tube the seat stays attach to; 1.55mm is pretty chunky. I guess it's taking a rather concentrated load there.
Martin shows us how the changes come together with his plans for mark two – looks just about perfect!
Sadly Martin found a 2nd hand Ragley frame going for a good price and decided to go for that instead. Still, let's hope that he gets the custom itch again soon and decides to order another frame so we can see what this one would look like in the flesh!
Have you had a frame made by XACD? If so I'd love to hear about it and maybe feature it in the Gallery so drop me a line via the contacts page.

As Vice Sports contributor Neil DeMause writes, city governments who subsidize expensive new stadiums for local sports clubs would be wise to find better ways to spend their money. There's been a ton written about the debate between those who see these subsidies as wise investments in local infrastructure and those who view them as despicable acts of corporate welfare. DeMause falls in the latter camp, arguing that taxpayers shouldn't foot the bill for giant playgrounds from which fat cat billionaires will profit. In the piece linked at the top, DeMause offers a fairly radical alternative:
"And then there were those who wondered: for $183 million, wouldn't it have been cheaper for D.C. to skip the stadium and just buy the team?"
It would, especially for DC United. The problem is that each league's front office plays a heavy hand in selecting franchise owners. There's one franchise in all of the five major leagues that's not owned by a for-profit entity -- the Green Bay Packers, which is run by a non-profit controlled by the team's fans.
"The major pro sports leagues here have dedicated themselves to blocking it at every turn. McDonald's heiress Joan Kroc once tried to give the Padres to the city of San Diego as a charitable donation, but was overruled by MLB; a similar league edict later prevented the city of Pittsburgh from getting a share of the Pirates in exchange for a $20 million "loan" that was never repaid. The NFL was so freaked by the mere prospect of anyone trying to replicate the Packers that it wrote a ban on non-profit ownership into its league constitution. Congress considered a bill to pull leagues' antitrust exemption for TV rights if they barred community ownership, but like just about all Congressional attempts to reign in sports leagues, it's gone nowhere."
So, under current conditions, it's not likely we'll see another Packers situation any time soon. Unless, DeMause posits, a city government gets creative:
"Say you're a city council with a pro sports team demanding $200 million or so in public cash for a new building—let's call them the "Milwaukee Bucks"—under threat of leaving town if its owners' demands aren't met. Instead of reaching for your municipal checkbook, you respond by drawing up eminent domain paperwork."
It's kind of a wacky suggestion, but DeMause has done enough research to support his feeling that a bold local government could utilize its eminent domain powers as leverage in negotiations. Take a look at the full piece (linked below) and let us know what you think of his idea.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 89549
Use autoset_dspmbyte instead of /etc/profile.d/lang.csh
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:35:54 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030211
Description of problem:
The RedHat installation of tcsh defaults to "dspmbyte euc". This means that it
doesn't work in any locale which *isn't* using Japanese EUC encoding. For 8-bit
locales, dspmbyte should be unset; for UTF-8 locales it should be set to "utf8".
What's worse, "dspmbyte utf8" isn't supported by the RedHat tcsh -- presumably
it is not compiled in.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use an 8-bit system locale, e.g. en_US
2. Try to enter 8-bit characters at the tcsh prompt
3. Use an UTF-8 system locale, e.g. en_US.utf8
4. Try to enter UTF-8 text at the tcsh prompt
Actual Results: Failure, unless I manually "unset dspmbyte" (or put that into
/etc/csh.cshrc or a similar file.)
The UTF-8 locale doesn't work at all; "set dspmbyte utf8" which is correct
according to the manpage doesn't work.
Additional info:
Confirmed this on several systems. Basic operations such as "man" completly
fail in default RH9 installs under tcsh unless /etc/sysconfig/i18n is changed
from the default en_US.utf8 to plain en_US.
[Joining from http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=951]
tcsh allows writing of non-latin scripts if the $dspmbyte variable has
a proper value. Typical values for this variable are "euc" and "utf8".
The first is for Asian scripts.
When LANG=el_GR.UTF8 (at least), this variable is set up "euc" instead
of the proper "utf8".
I did not see a way where the proper value of $dspmbyte is set
depending on the variable $LANG.
Should the setup scripts of Fedora do the check (if $LANG=cn,
$dspmbyte=euc") or we should annoy the tcsh maintainer to include such
a test in the executable?
The following
% set dspmbyte=utf8
works wonderfully for the Greek locale.
A user can write Greek properly, just as with bash.
Applying the following 3-line patch appears to fix the problem.
The script /etc/profile.d/lang.csh does not set the dspmbyte variable
The script DOES set $dspmbyte properly for non-UTF8 CJK languages. For
the rest of the cases it does not set the variable at all and it picks
"euc" which is incorrect.
As most of the locales nowdays are xx_LL.UTF-8, "utf8" is the
appropriate value for $dspmbyte.
The patch acts as a simple "default:" in the "switch" statement of the
script to set $dspmbyte to "utf8" for all the rest of the *.UTF-8
Works for el_GR.UTF-8.
Please apply the patch and close bug.

Fixes /etc/profile.d/lang.csh to set $dspmbyte properly.
$dspmbyte is not set properly and for a broad number of languages it is set to
the unsuitable value of "euc" (a CJK type of writing method?).
The correct value is "utf8".
Please apply the mentioned patch.
It would be a shame to miss it on FC3 as well.
Created attachment 101990 [details]
Use glibc UTF-8 encoding name, don't stop at empty string
The other possibility is to upgrade to tcsh-6.13.00, which sets
dspmbyte automatically from LC_CTYPE or LANG, and apply this
The code in /etc/profile.d/lang.csh for setting dspmbyte could
then maybe be completely removed.
I believe that would be by far the best solution.
*** Bug 72162 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
tcsh-6.13-1 sets dspmbyte automatically.
tcsh-6.13-5 should set dspmbyte for all cases correctly handled
by lang.csh, code in lang.csh can be removed after 6.13-5 hits
rawhide (after FC3t2).
Created attachment 104172 [details]
Don't set dspmbyte in /etc/profile.d/lang.csh
Current rawhide tcsh sets dspmbyte automatically, so the code in
lang.csh can be removed.
This can actually be an improvement - the lang.csh code would
set dspmbyte=euc even for zh_CN.gbk and zh_CN.gb18030
(not to talk about zh_CN.ISO-8859-2 :).
Should new tcsh be required?
The distribution in general does not require tcsh AFAICS, maybe
Conflicts: tcsh < 6.13-5
if that does what I think it does.
OK, will be fixed in initscripts-7.85-1 or later.

A man with a long criminal history and a teenager who had just moved to the northwest suburbs from Chicago were ordered held without bail today in the July 22 killing of a Mount Prospect man, authorities said.
Authorities alleged the pair targeted the victim -- Jean Wattecamps, 52, who supervised baggage handlers at O'Hare airport for American Eagle airline -- because they thought he had a large amount of cash in his apartment, but got away with only a few dollars.
Officials said Edwin Paniagua, 15, of Elk Grove Township, and Marko Guardiola, 37, tied up Wattecamps with computer cords while they demanded money and searched his apartment, and then Guardiola stabbed Wattecamps eight times. Both Guardiola and Paniagua are charged with first-degree murder.

Introduction: Internet social networks as a place for the different segments of society, especially the youth have become. The aim of this study was survey of social networking usage and its relationship with the study status of students of Ilam universities 2015.
Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 400 students of Ilam universities were selected by simple random sampling method. The data were collected which consists of three parts: demographic questions, questions the use of social networks and questions educational status. After data entrance to the SPSS software, the data were analyzed by Pearson correlation test, linear regression, ANOWA and chi-square test.
Results: The use of social networking in 25.5% of students at a high level, 63.8% on average and 10.8 % were low and 11% of students at the high school situation, 76% on average and 13 % as low. Between the use of social networks and there was no significant correlation between students' academic achievement (P>0.05) . Between the use of social networks and student age, gender and occupation there was a significant relationship mother students (P<0.05). But between the use of social networks and other demographic variables, there was no significant relationship (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Direct correlation between the use of social networks and the students there, this correlation was incomplete and of low intensity. This means that the use of social networks is more intense than the lower educational status and this association was not significant. It seems that due to the expansion of interpersonal communication, use of social networks has created for student satisfaction and their users are increasing day by day.

Everyone will lose weight differently with lap-band and gastric bypass.
The band only makes the stomach smaller where bypass actually bypasses a large portion of the small intestine so not only is the stomach smaller but a gastric patient is also absorbing even less than what they eat.
I am a lap-band patient, the weeks following surgery I was losing 7-10lbs a week with a total loss of 32lbs my first month. I lost 100% of my excess weight (101lbs) in 8 months.
Next month is my one year anniversary.
I still eat junk, always have but the quantities are limited.
My results are not typical of most lapband patients, the projected number is 1-3 lbs a week where with gastric is can be 5 to 7 a week in the early months following the proceedure.

The purpose of this statement is to describe the Parent Company's approach to corporate governance and, in particular, to explain, review and report upon the effectiveness of how the Group and Parent Company has applied the principles set out in Section 4 of the Quoted Companies Alliance ("QCA") Code issued in 2013 which are commensurate with its size.
The Board is composed of a mixture of Executive and Non-Executive members in order to provide the division of responsibilities and balance which are considered appropriate to the Parent Company's individual circumstances.
The Group and Parent Company is 80% owned by EOI Fire SARL ("EOI"). In the absence of a substantial third party shareholder, it is considered unnecessary and, to a large degree unrealistic, to separate the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive. All the Executive Directors are connected with EOI as are J-P Murray and M-C. Leon (Non-Executive Directors) and are therefore not considered to be independent.
To limit the effect of the majority shareholder, the Parent Company and EOI, entered into a relationship agreement dated 10 December 1999 in which EOI has provided certain assurances to the Parent Company with regard to its relationship with the Parent Company. The agreement confirms that the business and affairs of the Parent Company shall be managed by the Board in accordance with the Parent Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association and with applicable laws and all relevant statutory provisions for the benefit of the shareholders as a whole. Any transactions or other relationships between any member of the EOI Group and the Parent Company would be at arm's length and on a normal commercial basis. The above Directors declare their interest and take no part in decisions where appropriate.
H. Shouler is recognised Senior Independent Non-Executive Director.
Due to the small size of the Board and close involvement of the majority shareholder, the Directors have no current intentions to appoint a third Independent Non-Executive Director.
Due to the relatively small size of the Group and the nature of its businesses, the Executive Directors are more directly involved in the day-to-day activities than would be the case in a larger more diversified organisation.
The full Board meets regularly to review current trading and to make key operational and strategic decisions and has extensive access to detailed information in addition to the monthly management accounts and other reports that are circulated on a monthly basis. A schedule is maintained of matters specifically reserved for decision by the full Board, which includes matters of business strategy, business acquisitions, business disposals, approval of budgets and approval of financial statements. Interim meetings or appropriate sub-committees are established when decisions at full Board level are required between scheduled meetings.
All Directors have access to the Company Secretary who is responsible to the Board for ensuring that all applicable procedures and regulations are complied with. Each Director has the right to take independent professional advice in connection with his or her duties at the Parent Company's expense.
Board Committees
The Board maintains two standing committees comprising Executive and Non-Executive Directors. Both committees have written constitutions and terms of reference.
The remuneration committee comprises H. Shouler and J-J. Murray. The committee is chaired by H. Shouler. The remuneration committee reviews the performance of Executive Directors and sets the scale and structure of their remuneration and the basis of their service agreements with due regard to the interests of the shareholders. No Director is permitted to participate in decisions concerning his own remuneration.
Details of Directors' remuneration are set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report in the Annual Report.
The audit committee currently comprises H. Shouler and J-J. Murray. H. Shouler is independent of management and EOI Fire SARL. The committee is chaired by H. Shouler. The audit committee is responsible for ensuring that the financial performance of the Group is properly monitored, controlled and reported on. It meets regularly and meets the auditors to discuss the audit approach and the results of the audit.
The audit committee considers the need to introduce an internal audit function each year. After taking into consideration the current size and complexity of the Group, the committee believes that it would not be cost effective to have an internal audit function and the committee feels that sufficient comfort is obtained through the scope and quality of management's ongoing monitoring of risks.
Due to the small size of the Board, the Directors consider that a nomination committee need not be established.
Appointment and Removal of Board Members
The appointment of Directors involves selection by the full Board and Directors so appointed must be re-elected at the following Annual General Meeting. All Directors are subject to retirement by rotation and at least one third of Directors must offer themselves for re-election at each Annual General Meeting. The rotation is structured so that all Directors submit themselves for re-election at least every three years.

Being on live TV can be a challenge, with just one slip of the tongue or accidental wardrobe malfunction capable of becoming the biggest viral video on the Internet that next day. For that reason, we always salute those people who can record something on camera without ever making a big-time mistake.
One of those ladies may or may not be this hot reporter, who actually got a massage while on air, giving her viewers more than just a nip slip or something.
I have no idea who this is or what show had the brilliant idea of broadcasting a sexy woman getting her butt rubbed down on live TV, but it had to cause quite the uptick in ratings, if I could guess.
There are a lot of people who hold themselves back from doing things like this, we're glad to see this lady wasn't one of them.

How to manage tingling foot pain
The tingling foot pain can be an indication of a serious health condition or a precursor to long-term problems. Using high heels, injuries, circulatory diseases and diabetic neuropathies are some of the causes of tingling foot pain experienced as a "pins and needles", tearing, burning or numbness.
Proper foot health is vital to overall well-being and suffering from excruciating pain can drastically affect daily activities. If an individual suffers from tingling foot pain, there are treatment measures that can be considered.
- The individual can uncross his/her legs or simply cross from ankle to knee instead of knee to knee while sitting. It is recommended to sit with both feet on the floor or in a raised position to promote better circulation.
- Ensure that comfortable shoes properly fit. Wearing tight shoes and those with high heels can cramp on the toes which cuts off circulation and leads to painful blisters, deformities and tingling sensation.
- It is recommended to select another type of aerobic workout. Running and other high-impact exercises in which the feet pound on hard surfaces can contribute to loss of sensation, tingling foot pain and even injuries such as greenstick fractures in the feet and legs.
- The thyroid levels should be checked. If the thyroid level is low, it creates various symptoms and sensations such as tingling foot pain and 'pins and needles' sensation. If the blood level is low, the doctor might prescribe thyroid medications.
- Ask the doctor regarding medications being used and their potential side effects. There are certain drugs that cause burning or tingling pain in the extremities. These are similar to peripheral neuropathies and must be replaced with medications that are less bothersome.
- The doctor will rule out gout, Raynaud's syndrome, frostbite and inflammation while assessing for other issues that causes tingling foot pain. These diseases lead to poor circulation and the treatment usually involves increasing the flow of blood with medications, warmth and mild exercise.
- Include vitamin B complex in the diet especially inositol which is one of the B vitamins. In studies conducted, it was discovered that there was a marked improvement for neuropathies among those diagnosed with diabetes once high levels of inositol was added in the diet.
- Compression socks can be used to stimulate circulation. A doctor should be consulted first to ensure that this is suitable for the condition of the individual.
- Always keep the feet warm throughout the year. There are electric foot mats and foot-warming slippers available that can be used during cold weather.
Tips on dealing with tingling foot pain
The tingling foot pain can be an indication of a serious disease. If the pain could not be relieved with any of the measures stated, a doctor should be consulted.
The presence of darkened blue or black spots on the toes or feet indicates a serious health condition that requires further assessment by a doctor.

Although the title "first lady" isn't an official office, it is a role that comes with many responsibilities. There has always been a first lady in the White House, even when the president himself has no wife. In cases where the president was a widower, the role would be taken up by a daughter, niece or other relative.
The job of the first lady is to host social events and play an active role in social causes and public appearances. She's an integral part of the president's image and plays a crucial role in interacting with the public. While she's not paid a salary for this job, there is federal funding to pay her staff to assist her in helping the president carry out his duties.
Michelle Obama is not the first of the first ladies to recognize the importance of her role in engaging the public, but she is the first to consistently travel with a makeup artist, and the results are obvious: Time and again she's noticed as one of the most stylish first ladies in history, and her power fashions have helped cement her as a strong 21st Century role model.
Coupled with her daring fashion sense are clever makeup choices that emphasize youth and softness. From gently arcing eyebrows to a soft glow in her makeup, Michelle Obama's style is simultaneously natural and chic. The false lashes she routinely wears help draw more attention to her eyes and make them more expressive in photographs.
Of course, she does catch some negative press for those false lashes. It might be a better investment for her to try eyelash extensions instead. Not only do lash extensions provide a more youthful look, they also require little maintenance and allow you to spend more time on other parts of your makeup routine.
If there's one lesson every woman should take from Michelle Obama, it's that you need to be mindful not just of how your eyes look, but in what you do with them. As one of the most public women alive today, every expression First Lady Obama makes is analyzed by the press, from eye rolls to perceived angry eyebrows. Although you probably aren't prone to the same level of scrutiny, you do make an impact on your own social sphere, and your eyes tell a story about who you are. Be sure they're telling the right one.

Hey, its me again. You still have not sent me the game so, what's going on?
Btw, can you rate this drawing?
Log in with itch.io to leave a comment.
Hey, its me again. You still have not sent me the game so, what's going on?
Btw, can you rate this drawing?
Hi there, I am sorry but big changes were made and the game got delayed. I will send you the copy first hand, but for now several new features were added, and it is very buggy.
Very cool drawing. Thanks for the support.
Hello again. Thanks for your feedback for my drawing. I told you, I don't want a Steam Key. I had a problem with my Steam Account but a Steam Key is now ok for me.
Good luck with the Development!
Also, the drawing I showed you, is made at a Website owned by my friend: http://weavesilk.com/
I worked with him to make it, it's a website where you can make cool symmetrical Drawings!
Hello again. Do you know when the early access will be released?
Very soon, few weeks. Will send you a copy first handed.
Ok. Thank you.
Hey, Just letting you know, I changed my username from Lorema10 to this one because I love this Game!
Hi Lorema, reply your e-mail and later i send you the link and a steam key. Thanks
No Steam key if Possible.
A little Bug Report: Sometimes, when you hop into a helicopter it glitches and then explodes. (Windows)
Second: So, does that mean you're gonna send the game to me?!
Thírd: If that is correct, how will you send it to me?
Well, do you mean with early access, still itch.io right?
Yes , itch.io and Steam
When will you update this very awesome game?
Hi there, the early access version will be released soon. Thank you.
This game never gets old! And where is the plane out of the mission?
Thank you. Well, that plane is not unlocked in this alpha version. Good to hear you like the game. What is your favorite part?
Well, my favourite part is just to play around! Sometimes i just do it like the president is on the helicopter and I'm bringing him to his tower (Trump Tower= Biggest Tower)!
Bug Reports (On Windows build 0.1 pre-apha): - decreasing screen resolution, (in my case from 1366x768 to 1024x768 or 800x600) the main options/controls/load/save.... menù elements (buttons and text) become progressively smaller (and nearly unreadable);
- "Save" main menù button is functional before starting/loading a new game;
- When the "Day Review: check your profit for today" pops out, mouse pointer remain hidden and inactive, so it's impossible to click "Close" button (nor Esc key closes that message);
- While flying, the blue arrow pointing to some point of interest/destination sometimes disappear (indipendentely of the helicopter);
- In a time trial challenge (at night), if I destroy my copter before the end, then, after manually loading the last saved game (without first exit the program), I noticed that many of the remainig ring-checkpoint are still visible (from the crash point on), and some helicopters keep flying trough them. If I then re-try the time-trial challenge, the new generated checkpoints are all green until I reach the previus crash point, and many "fear notification" pops out randomly;
Thanks for the attention.
Thank you so much for the feed back. Very precise info. Some was know bugs. But several new. Really appreciate. Do you like the concept of the game? And what you think would be the best focus to the game development ahead? Thank you again.
In my opinion, there is something about your approach in showing the flying through a big city with an helicopter, in terms of graphics/audio/ physics, that evokes a particular sense of freedom (especially at night). The idea of a copter-driver job (but not necessarily only as taxy driver) it's new and could be explored through many game modes: a would prefer a free-carreer-mode/build-your-own-company experience (without a fixed or semi-scripted storyline). In these game types, usually are audio/physics and logics that really keeps the gamer attention hight. However a more study in deep of procedural detail generation, random events (for instance in passengers/clients interaction) and a movie-like graphics enhancements (in terms of lights, colors, textures and environment dynamics in sky and ground) could take this game to a new level of entertainment, where it's like you're discovering something new every time you play.
For what concerns time trials challenges, maybe they can be integrated in the taxy job itself: for instance, some passenger may need a fast run towards his destination, but for some reason you can't flight where you want (and so you're forced to fly even between buildings as fast as possible).
I hope you'll find the right alchemy in mixing all these elements (and/or finding new better ones)!.
Thanks for your attentions.
Thank you. Very good ideas. I will have a good look on the possibilities. A lot of work to do. Thanks

Anyone who wants to read Reed seriously had better come prepared with facts, an open mind, and perhaps even a seatbelt…An adept mix of documentation and outrage shapes most of the pieces…[Reed's] observations come in many registers, from the strident to the cool…In his ability to pull the comfortable rug out from under his readers and make us aspire to a higher ground of understanding, Reed is one of our most essential and irreplaceable voices."
Magill Book Reviews
"Perceptive essays about social issues and media missteps, reminding readers why he is a provocative, respected writer, and thinker. It is tempting to compare Ishmael Reed to voices as varied as Mark Twain, Paul Robeson, or Susan Sontag, but that is incomplete and unfair to Reed. He is distinctive and fresh in his own right…This collection is less about race than sense…Spirited and bold throughout, never failing to enlighten…As an anthology, it is a treasure."
Multicultural Review, Winter 2009
"[Reed's] voice…is incisive. He is smart, the book is well researched, and his arguments are compelling…His coverage of American race relations links culture, economics, and history in surprising ways…This collection of essays is appropriate and necessary for high school level readers and should become canonical text for every American Studies program in the United States."

Director Jennie Livingston did it and exploded the idea of Gay clubbing from the 80's. With this perfectly shot movie details the flashy and popular trend in the error.
Scenes are picked from the all too flamboyant runway on which contestants walk and flaunt their beauty in different categories. A set of judges seat at the front of the whole situation and award contestants marks depending on their category of participation.
More like the new popular and modernized movie 'Leave it on The Floor' where such a setup is pulled off exemplary.

Parliament failed to elect a new Greek president in the first round of voting Wednesday, leaving another two tries before the government falls and early elections have to be called.
The conservative-led government's candidate, former European Commissioner Stavros Dimas, received 160 votes, far short of the 200 needed for an outright win.
A second round, which also would require 200 for a victory, will now be held on Dec. 23, while a third round will take place on Dec. 29, when a tally of 180 votes will suffice.
The votes come amid stalled negotiations between bailed-out Greece and its international creditors. The renewed political instability has roiled international markets, sending Greece's borrowing costs spiraling and its stock exchange index plunging just as the country was nearing the end of its bailout.
The two-party coalition has 155 seats and requires backing from opposition or independent lawmakers to ensure Dimas' election on Dec. 29.
"There are another two rounds ahead of us," Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said as he left parliament after Wednesday's vote. "I hold hope that a (new) president will be elected. The conditions are difficult for the country, and I am certain that lawmakers are aware that the country must not enter troubled times."
If the Dec. 29 vote proves inconclusive, parliament will be dissolved and Samaras must call snap national elections in early 2015, a year and a half before his original mandate expires.
The anti-bailout left-wing Syriza party is ahead in opinion polls, although with too small a lead to govern alone.
Lawmakers are voting for a president, but the position is a figurehead and the true issue is whether to keep the coalition government in power or trigger early elections.
Hours before Wednesday's ballot, Samaras' office issued a statement saying a vote for Dimas was not one in favor of the government, but would mark a decision "to avoid a political adventure that could prove fatal to the country's European course."
Syriza has long called for early elections and has campaigned on promises to renegotiate Greece's deeply resented bailout commitments. That possibility, comments about reversing reforms, and hints about the possibility of Greece not repaying some of its debts have spooked international markets.
Samaras announced last week he was bringing forward the presidential vote, originally scheduled for early 2015.

A nasty bike accident landed country singer Jake Owen in the emergency room Thursday. The singer shared a graphic photo of his injury and Twitter.
Fans immediately sympathized with the "American Country Love Song" singer. Several mentioned his previous accidents that resulted in injuries, while a couple suggested bubble wrap to keep him safe. At least one expressed concern for his bike.
Owen announced a new album last week, revealing the title and cover of "American Love" during a Facebook Live chat. He also shared the projects track listing and talked about his collaboration with Chris Stapleton. "American Love" will be available on July 29.
The country singerwas ramping up to release his last album when he suffered his most memorable and gruesome injury. The singer was riding go-karts with NASCAR drivers Kevin Harvick and Clint Boyer over Fourth of July weekend in 2013 when he crashed and shattered the bones of his right ring finger. Doctors would later amputate half of the finger.
Other Owen injuries include the collarbone he broke in 2012 while snowboarding and the shoulder injury he sustained wakeboarding before his country career began. That accident ultimately led to him choosing country music over golf. However, hehas said that he doesnt plan to reign in his adventuresome ways anytime soon.
Hewill begin a truly busy touring season in June after two remaining May shows. Highlights include a performance at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, prior to Kenny Chesney's set and a headlining set at the Taste of Country Music Festival on June 12.

The character copy works now on the EU PTS. So i was able to transfer Thulf over and check some stuff. To my surprise the model for the Sentinel helmet changed. O.o You can dye the helmet now, but tbh i liked the old helmet better... wtf? It's still not possible to dye Black Orc Sentinel properly on the PTS. The Vomitous Choppa got a new model and looks very cool now. Many of the higher level Choppa weapons got a new (all the same) model as well. The rest of my items looked the same from what i can remember.
I toyed around with crafting some on the PTS. Apothecary, Cultivating and Butchering are much better now. I can only assume (did not test the other professions), it's similar with the rest. They fixed a lot and streamlined the process, which makes it much easier for people to understand. Cultivating is finally a useful profession and its rather easy to level now that you don't have to grind for seeds. Basicly you buy lvl 1 seeds from a vendor and use plant reaping (Ctrl-Right-Click) to produce 2-4 seeds from it - this process will also yield resins (stabilizers). Usually Cultivating will yield you 2-3 plants from that seed, a super-critical success will also grant you one plant from the next higher tier plus dye pigments. You then convert that higher lvl plant into seeds and start over from there. It's much faster to train then right now on live. Stimulant ingredients seem to be bugged right now, at least i could not make any use of them during my quick test. Seeds & Plants will stack up to 50 now. yay! It looks like there will be some cool/weird potions you can brew with 1.2, like resurrection potions, increased crafting skill potions, +morale and a few others. From the looks of it all apothecary potions will have proper "rare" tiers. The ingredients to multiply or enhance potions work out of the box. Don't bother to much with crafting before the patch, some eg. existing healing potions were downgraded through the patch.
In the capitol cities you can visit your scavenging/butchering trainer and pick up a quest to convert into the other skill with your same skill level. Crafting mats that are not ingame anymore can either be converted into the same skill level "new" ingredient or will convert into some rotten parts, 20 of those can be converted into Chaos Black Dye. Because of this and the other changes to loot tables, dyes will be much more accessable after the 1.2 patch. I already heard about the first new dye from crafting, liche purple.
With the funds Thulf brought to the PTS i was at least able to buy the new "standard" mounts. To check out the other ones you need guild rank, which does not transfer over. The old boar is the Light Brown Ridin' Boar and the two new ones i post a screenshot below:
My Choppa is rank 10 and still a lot of fun to play, I'll definately stick to my plan and create an alt Choppa. Thulf being a tank will still stay my main, the new changes to the Black Orc are mostly great, the Da'Toughest selfhealing was nerfed rather much tho. I did not play around with the Black Orc much on the PTS, was thinking about maybe checking out Lost Vale on the PTS if i get the peeps. But then again, Darkpromise is still nice to gain on live.

Nice and lovely detailed blog. I am more than enormously happy about the map showing party and raid members. Gosh i just wish they would get rid of the gold bag system!
Anyhow im sorry to ask this but is there a chance you could try and get more pictures of the different mount colors? I can't acces the test realm and i dont see any pics floating around in WHA. =/

Which mounts exactly are you interested in? Some of the other bloggers (eg. Greg for Empire/Dwarf: http://tok.blogwarhammer.net/?p=652) posted screenshots as well.

Dark Elf and Chaos ones would be the coolest to know. :) If possible that is!

Now whilst Dr W and I often try to have a regular date night that involves going out, our budgets don't often stick to this. So when Le Petit Ballon sent us a wine subscription box, we decided to have a date night in.
We were sent one bottle of white and one bottle of red. The Le Petit Ballon subscription is super handy because they send you tasting notes to go with your wine and also recommend dishes for you to go with. The wines and notes are created by Master Sommelier Jean-Michel Deluc.
Because of the warm weather we've been having, I popped our bottle of white into the fridge (stay tuned for a post on our red wine soon). The Chateau Le Grans Verdus "Expression" Sauvignon Blanc was billed as a fruity, quite sweet Sauv compared to New World Sauvs I've tried. It was just that as well, sweet on the nose and a fruity hit. One of the suggested dishes was tempura fish. Now it was too hot for that, so I made a Cod with Cheese and Tomato Crust. A simple recipe but perfect for a night in together and perfect with the wine as well.
- 2 Fillets of Cod
- 80g Panko breadcrumbs
- 80g Cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 Tomatoes, sliced
- 300g New potato, sliced
- 200g Peas
- 200g Green Beans
- Olive oil
- Salt and Pepper
- Heat the oven to 200C/190C fan.
- Put your cod fillets down in an oven proof dish, cover with a good splash of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Put the cut up potatoes in another dish and drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper too.
- Put the slices of tomato on to the top of the cod. Mix the breadcrumbs and cheese then place over the top of the tomato/cod so it's completely covered.
- Pop the cod and potatoes in the oven for 20 mins.
- Cook your green veg as per packet instructions just before the fish and potatoes are cooked.
- Serve up with a large glass of white wine to wash it down with! Enjoy!
With the Le Petit Ballon subscription (from £24.90 per month) you get 2 bottles of wine selected by their master sommelier, tasting notes for each of the bottles, information on how to serve the wine and what foods pair with the wine. You also get the monthly gazette, a wine magazine with interesting stories about our winemakers, wine tips and special features, access to discounts on all single bottles of wine in the online store, access to exclusive flash sales and tasting videos.
Have you tried a wine subscription service? What do you think of what Le Petit Ballon offer? Would you make my fish dish? Let me know in the comments,

P.S. Thanks to Le Petit Ballon for the wine to try out. As ever all words, photos and opinions my own.

TV Ratings (and Papercut & Puppets) 101
There's just something about the air in Los Angeles. I mean, besides the smog. When I flew out there this summer to meet with the team assembled by JESS3′s Creative Director Mark Kulakoff, I was so impressed with the cast of characters. We were all prepared for the long day of work we knew was ahead of us. And while it could have been a nightmare, the day was smooth sailing. Everyone was incredibly flexible — our set designer even helped behind the puppet desk at one point. There was surprisingly little ego across the board; instead, I was taken aback by a team-oriented attitude dedicated to producing five minutes of magic.

Virgilio Villoresi and Neue Big have created a fun in-camera video that highlights new Moleskine products. The use of depth and small props gives this video a charming style.

If you are interested in a wedding film we recommend contacting our friend Matt Crofts at Next Scene Weddings for a chat.
The details of what we do
We have spent a great deal of time making sure that our wedding photography service is perfect. Taking photos is only part of the job, the rest is made up of planning, communicating and collaborating with you to ensure you get everything you want.
We provide two professional photographers at every wedding. This means that we can photograph bride and groom preparations, we can avoid unnecessary movement during the wedding ceremony and we can capture natural photos of your guests at the same time as your portraits and group photos. Having two photographers means that there is less haste, more attention to detail and you will spend less time away from your guests on the day. It all adds to the quality of the images that you will be given after the wedding.
We don't restrict the time that we spend at your wedding. To capture the natural images in the style that we offer we don't see a reason to restrict our time with you on your wedding day. We want to capture the story of your wedding day and that means being around in the morning and in the evening. We stay as long as it takes to get the job done. Our photos contain happy, relaxed people because we form a relationship with your guests from the morning when you are getting ready, to the evening when you are dancing the night away.
We include a venue visit and a pre-wedding session because we like to be able to see the venue through your eyes and find out what it is like to work together before the big day. During a venue visit we learn why you chose to get married there, what you love about the place, and where the best places to photograph you and your guests are. It's all part of the preparation we do to make sure that we get perfect results every time. The pre-wedding shoot is one of the most important things we can do together too. It's arranged a short time before the wedding (two to three months) and prepares you both for being photographed professionally. We discover what you like and don't like about posing in front of the camera so on the day there are no surprises and the portrait session runs smoothly and quickly.
When you get your wedding photos you won't have any restrictions placed on them. We don't watermark them, we don't restrict their size and we don't prevent you from printing them either. They are yours to enjoy as you wish (that goes for your family and friends too). We give you your photos through our website in a password protected gallery and only the people who have the link and the password can access the images. This also means that you can share this link with family and friends so they can download and print photos themselves, without you having to be the distributor of the files.
All this results in a personalised and professional service, with great attention to detail. We are also flexible and adaptable to changes on your wedding day because we have planned for your wedding meticulously.
The price we offer includes most travel costs however there may be an additional fee (55p per mile) to cover travel costs for more out of the way locations. Get in touch if you would like a quote.
