The possibility of a Clinton/Castro ticket in the 2016 Presidential Election seems very realistic as Julian Castro appears to be on the fast track to becoming the "Second Coming of Obama". The former San Antonio mayor was picked by President Barack Obama last summer to become the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Previously he said a cabinet job he had "no upside politically."
A recent article in The Daily Beast by Eleanor Clift makes the case that "Julian Castro Is in VP Training Camp." With Hillary Clinton being considered too old by many young voters, having Castro as her running mate could be just the ticket for her likely final attempt to break the glass-ceiling and become America's first female president. Castro likes to play coy about his political future, telling The Beast, "There is no grand plan for the future. We'll see what happens in the years to come. I'm trying to do a great job as HUD secretary. If you do a great job, that opens up opportunities, sometimes opportunities you don't even see in the future."
Castro initially declined a privately made offer from President Obama in 2013 to be transportation secretary, as was previously reported by Breitbart Texas. At that time, it seemed Castro had his eyes on a future Senate or Gubernatorial run as Democrats were predicting a blue wave would sweep across Texas. As it became obvious the blue wave of Battleground Texas would be no more effective than Santa Anna at San Jacinto, Castro suddenly shifted his sites to the federal level and accepted Obama's invitation to replace Shaun Donovan as HUD Secretary.
Eleanor Clift suggests a reason why Castro may have been more receptive to Obama's second courtship. "His allure as a potential veep gives Castro a platform for the issues he cares about, and he is serious about governing …," Clift wrote.
When asked about role models, Castro cited two of his predecessors at HUD. He then went to an unexpected choice of a role model, conservative Jack Kemp. The former New York Congressman and NFL quarterback was chosen by Senator Bob Dole to be his running mate in the 1996 presidential race nearly twenty years ago. Kemp was twelve years younger than Dole and his athletic image stood in sharp contrast to the older Dole whose arm was permanently injured in a war injury.
Clift says Castro is running hard to build a positive record of success as HUD Secretary to make himself more marketable as a VP choice. "That's why for the next year or so," Clift wrote, "HUD Secretary Castro will get more attention for himself and for his issues than is typical. The way Washington politics works, HUD is rarely headline news unless there's a scandal, but Castro sees an opportunity, and he's savvy enough to use it to present himself and his department in the best light. With candidate Clinton, it will be about confidence and chemistry. They don't know each other well; they've met a couple of times, and they shared a panel on renewing America's cities last month at the liberal think tank, Center for American Progress."
She wrote that Castro will be spending the next year auditioning and that Democrats across the country, presumably including Secretary Clinton, will be watching him closely. "I haven't met him, I don't know him, I only know what I've seen," says Paul Equale, a longtime Washington lawyer who is active in Democrat politics "and in the modern arena of politics, he's a natural."
"A state like Texas could be in play," says Equale, speaking of the rising Hispanic population in Texas. "There are things that could happen in terms of turnout that are mind-boggling." Of course, his remarks ignore the results of the last statewide election in Texas were Republicans fared very well in Hispanic communities across the Lone Star State.
Clift points out that Castro's goal is not to have a long career in Washington, hoping eventually to be picked up like Joe Biden as a vice president. She quoted Equale's comparison of Castro to Obama, "He's like Obama, he's young, the opportunity is there, and with Hillary at almost 70, age is an issue. It would be sexist if they [her opponents] didn't raise it."
Castro does not come without his own set of baggage. Breitbart Texas' Merrill Hope pointed out problems related to San Antonio's Pre-K 4 SA program in an April, 2014 article. His program was rejected by a 6-1 vote by the San Antonio School Board because of financial questions. TEA spokeswoman DeEtta Culbertson responded to questions from Breitbart Texas and said that SSAISD is under "special accreditation investigation based on primarily concerning the district's state fiscal management practice, related governance, and student performance issues."
Charles Johnson with Breitbart News Network also took Castro to task with an article titled, "Julian Castro: A Radical Revealed." Johnson quoted from a Castro essay from 1994 titled "Writing for Change: A Community Reader:"
"[My mother] sees political activism as an opportunity to change people's lives for the better. Perhaps that is because of her outspoken nature or because Chicanos in the early 1970s (and, of course, for many years before) had no other option. To make themselves heard Chicanos needed the opportunity that the political system provided. In any event, my mother's fervor for activism affected the first years of my life, as it touches it today.
Castro wrote fondly of those early days and basked in the slogans of the day. "'Viva La Raza!' 'Black and Brown United!' 'Accept me for who I am–Chicano.' These and many other powerful slogans rang in my ears like war cries." These war cries, Castro believes, advanced the interests of their political community. He sees her rabble-rousing as the cause for Latino successes, not the individual successes of those hard-working men and women who persevered despite some wrinkles in the American meritocracy.
The article goes on to make the case of Julian Castro's penchant for radical liberalism. This is a trait that would make him a star in an Obama Administration and a potential prospect for a vice-presidential seat on a 2016 Democratic Ticket.
The Democrat Party, nationally, has a relatively small bench of players for both the presidential and vice presidential slots for 2016. Castro undoubtedly sees his opportunity and will be taking bold steps to place himself in the right spot to be tapped for the nomination. Clift concludes her piece by writing, "For those who are counting birthdays, Richard Nixon was 39 when he became Dwight Eisenhower's vice president. On the Republican side, except for Jeb Bush, they're not much older than Castro. If Clinton isn't too old, then Castro isn't too young, assuming he can live up to the hype."

Robin Without you telling us what station you are referring to, it is impossible to say what the problem may be. Typically, if something in the guide fails, I check elsewhere, run the url finder if necessary, and go from there. Maintaining a database of url streams, as Replay AV attempts to do with the Media Guide, is working with a moving target of sorts as streams come and go, change, -- sometimes seemingly like the weather in Kansas <grin>!! But back to your question, tell us what station you are after, I (or someone else can then do the legwork to figure out if what you want is listenable. Also let me direct you to 3 other alternative sources of radio station streams that I use daily: www.radiotime.com http://streamradioguide.com www.mikesradioworld.com These 3 offer far stronger radio stream info and, with the url finder, it becomes extremely simple to either add the station into Replay AV or uncover an url for inclusion in either a database one maintains themself or creating hotkeys for. My only regret with Replay AV is that I didn't discover it sooner. --To unsubscribe: e-mail blindreplay-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with unsubscribe in subject To contact list owner: e-mail blindreplay-admins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Carrying out this investigation were Tim, Jen, Richard and Ade. We also had two guests, Melissa and Jon. We started with the usual walk around, setting up webcams and trigger objects as we went round. The hall was full of seats and a mixing desk was at one end and the stage had a large array of instruments on it.
We held our first seance in the St Johns Room where Tim got the name "Alan Warriner" who died aged 48 with some sort of head injury or brain haemorrhage and was involved in either hunting or poaching.
Also someone to do with maritime or a captain came forward. We didn't get a name but he said "This is mine" as in the Corn Exchange and he said he did not approve of the kind of alcohol that was in the bar which made us think maybe he was a rum drinker!
On the stage Tim got the name Ernest Collingwood. There was a large amount of loud banging and the odd footstep and while on the stage the mixing desk turned itself on giving out intermittent white noise on a couple of occasions.
The rest of the building seemed quiet with nothing showing on the webcams or from the digital cameras but on the camcorder footage we appear to have caught a woman's voice and someone humming. See the Video section. We are hoping to hold another investigation at this venue at some time in the future.

New Government Reforms on Credit Cards8th June 2010
One of the leading UK websites that consumers rely on to compare credit cards deals, cardchoices.co.uk has learned that David Cameron's new coalition Government is planning tough new legislation for the credit card industry on "unfair charges". UK consumers have heard this before of course, but there is a new twist to the story.
Tighter regulations for credit card and store card issuers was on the election manifesto of all the major parties, and had been discussed by the previous Government. However, the financial meltdown and the nationalisation of many banks mean credit card companies are now faced with direct competition from Government controlled banks, as well as legislationary pressure to give consumers a far better deal.
The arrival of independent websites like cardchoices.co.uk which allow consumers to compare credit cards easily online also creates a more open market.
Marc Gander from Consumer Action Group, a strident campaigner on bank charges, gave a cautious 'thumbs up' to the Governments plans, but said announcements so far were short on detail.
Marc said "It [the government] doesn't define 'unfair' or say what protections will be granted overall".
In a shrewd move leading UK credit card issuer MBNA Bank has seen the writing on the wall and acted ahead of the legislation by changing the way customers payments are allocated to their accounts.
MBNA which has over 6 million UK customers has announced that from 1st September 2010 it will allocate incoming payments from customers towards paying off the highest interest charges on their accounts first. Customers should be notified of the changes formally any day.
In March this year, the credit card industry announced a series of gentle steps to improve the lot and the rights of customers in a bid to ward off harsher regulation when the Government finally gets round to looking more closely at the industry's charges.

The Ohio House of Representatives today concurred on Senate changes to legislation that exempts municipal gas companies from collecting and remitting sales taxes on the natural gas they provide to citizens.
House Bill 390, sponsored by Reps. Tim Schaffer (R-Lancaster) and Wes Retherford (R-Hamilton) came in response to an attempt by the Ohio Department of Taxation to begin collecting sales tax from residents with natural gas accounts. Prior to this, municipal gas departments were not subject to sales tax. HB 390 specifically exempts municipal gas departments from sales tax.
"I am proud that Rep. Retherford and I were able to collaborate with local leaders and our colleagues in the General Assembly to stop an unjust gas tax increase on the residents of Lancaster, Hamilton, and several other municipalities," Rep. Schaffer said. "I would like to thank Lancaster Mayor Brian Kuhn, Law Director & City Prosecutor Randall Ullom, and Economic Development Director Mike Pettit for putting their time into this effort which will save our constituents millions of dollars."
The legislation mostly impacts municipalities that still operate their own utilities: Lancaster, Hamilton, McComb, Deshler, Oakwood, Verona and Williamsport. But the bill sponsors stressed that failing to address this situation now could lead to a slippery slope.
"With the passage of H.B. 390, the Ohio House has ensured that we will pay off the unemployment debt, which will save our employers from ever increasing taxes, we will repeal an unfair and unused Utility Service Tax, and most importantly, we will prevent a potential 10 percent increase to Hamilton Utility Customers' bills," said Rep. Retherford. "I was very proud be a part of this bill, and I want to thank my colleagues for their support. A very big thank you goes out to Joshua Smith, Doug Childs and Mayor Pat Moeller of Hamilton for their support on this issue."
Reps. Schaffer and Retherford also worked with the Senate and House to amend a number of other provisions into H.B. 390, including a measure to relieve Ohio businesses' debt to the federal government for unemployment compensation fund loans, as well as increasing the state motion picture tax credit cap from $20 million to $40 million per fiscal year.
The legislation also includes a provision to help fix a long-standing property tax issue for the Youngstown Metropolitan Housing Authority (YMHA). Metropolitan Housing Authorities are typically exempt from property taxes, but after a series of renovations to a development in the late 1990s, YMHA failed to qualify for the exemption due to a clerical error, and has since been dealing with a tax liability as a result. The provision authorizes an abatement of unpaid property taxes, penalties, and interest owed.
The legislation now heads to the Governor for his signature.
State Representatives Wes Retherford (R-Hamilton) and Mike Dovilla (R-Berea) today held a press conference with Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine to discuss the Ohio Elder Justice Act, recently introduced legislation that aims to protect older Ohioans from abuse and financial exploitation.
State Representative Wes Retherford (R-Hamilton) today was sworn in as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives for the 130th General Assembly. He represents the 51st Ohio House District, which includes portions of southern Butler County.

Everest climber Kenton Cool to be Olympic torchbearer
A record-breaking Everest climber from Gloucestershire has been chosen to be an Olympic torchbearer.
Kenton Cool, 38, from Quenington, holds the British record for the number of ascents of the world's highest mountain, after scaling the peak nine times.
He said his "jaw hit the floor" when he found out he had been asked to take part.
Mr Cool is planning to climb Everest for a tenth time next year.
"It's just absolutely amazing," he said.
But he added: "I'm a bit concerned. With the torch relay starting on May 19th, that's pretty much summit time on Everest [for next year's expedition]. I really hope I'll be back in time."
More than 6,000 people have been chosen nationally to be torchbearers for London 2012.

Bill Vaughn: Photography, Studio 2047
Bill Vaughn, a.k.a. Dr. Collodion, is a photographer practicing a once-lost art to create portraits, still life and fine art pieces utilizing the Wet Collodion process. Invented in England in 1851, Wet Plate was the photographic process in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. All but forgotten as a technique following the invention of film, collodion photography was resurrected in the 1970's by a handful of artists using 1850's manuscripts. These artists, like Dr. Collodion today, were searching for something different a unique look. In a day when anyone can be a photographer with digital technology, wet plate requires an extensive knowledge of the basic principles of photography exposure, depth of field, using light along with a healthy dose of chemistry. Wet Plate photography is a totally handmade process. Each plate is unique, based upon the interaction of the chemistry, the light, and the development process.
It is likely you have never seen the process performed or possibly even seen an ambrotype or tintype in person. Come by Dr. Collodion Studios, Lowe Mill Studio 2047, to see this unique process in action, and to see some of the resulting beauty and truly permanent photographs being created.Email Website (256) 829-8487

Author: Jeannette Walls
Published: January 9th, 2006 (first published March 1st, 2005)
Source: purchased eBook
From Goodreads:
Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and above all, how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary, who painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family, called herself an "excitement addict." Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever.
Later, when the money ran out, or the romance of the wandering life faded, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town—and the family—Rex Walls had done everything he could to escape. He drank. He stole the grocery money and disappeared for days. As the dysfunction of the family escalated, Jeannette and her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they weathered their parents' betrayals and, finally, found the resources and will to leave home.
What is so astonishing about Jeannette Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to get out, but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity. Hers is a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.
For two decades, Jeannette Walls hid her roots. Now she tells her own story. A regular contributor to MSNBC.com, she lives in New York and Long Island and is married to the writer John Taylor.
Mrs. Beamer's Review:
I loved this book...loved everything about it. The above Goodreads blurb does an outstanding job of summarizing this memoir. The book is addicting...both heart-wrenching and heart-warming.
Full disclosure...I only read this book because it was mentioned as possible required reading for the 10th grade Honors English class at our school. Controversy has followed this memoir since its publication - mainly regarding its age-appropriateness for high school students. I needed to see (read) for myself. Bottom line...whatever critics of this book believe, in my opinion, the positives WAY WAY WAY outweigh the negatives. Personally, I can't wait for my own children to read it. I won't dissect the validity of this book in relation to the course objectives, etc (I'll leave that to the English teachers!). But I will say this memoir offers countless opportunities for discussion and reflection.
Jeannette's childhood is one of disbelief. I often found myself thinking "seriously...how is this lifestyle even possible today?!" Yet, as riveting as her upbringing was, what hooked me were the relationships between the family members. Jeannette does an outstanding job of sharing her family with the reader. I felt like I understood it all...like it all made sense (even when, in theory, it shouldn't). Read it for yourself. It's outstanding.

When it comes to breakfast, I like it easy. Like really easy. Even though it takes no time cooking eggs, making an omelette or what not, I just don't want to spend time on it during weekdays. I have always loved a good porridge, and as far as I remember, I have been eating a good and solid porridge almost every morning since I was 16. The past few years it seems that my appetite has changed though. I'm not as hungry in the morning as I used to be, which I find to be quite odd. Some days I eat breakfast at 10 AM, while other days I can be starving as i roll out of bed by 7. Continue reading "Chia-Coconut-Walnut Porridge"

Warming Vegan Lentil Soup
This soup will warm you from the inside out, fill you with goodness and vitamins and keep a cold way if needed. It's one of my ayurvedic recipes, which I truly love.
I should do them more often, given that they fill me with energy and keep me full for quite a long time. My dosha is Vata in the ayurvedic sense, which means that some of the things my body benefits from are cooked vegetables, warming spices and nuts – which I put in this soup that probably can be characterised more as a porridge given the thickness. I made a huge batch last night and froze down the whole bit in bits and pieces, except from my dinner and a portion for lunch today. Continue reading "Warming Vegan Lentil Soup"

Millton Vineyards and Winery (BioGro No.99)
While the 2009 John Manhire Award is a fitting recognition for one of the country's organic pioneers, Gisborne winegrower James Millton refuses to accept the accolade alone. He has plans for the future that promise to make his achievements to date pale by comparison: the wholesale conversion of the nation's wine industry to BioGro certification – as the most practical business strategy for that industry. On 5th of September 2012 James was invested at Government House and made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2012 Queen's Birthday Honours.
I think that for everybody who is involved in organics and biodynamic growing, any form of recognition – received singularly or jointly – should be celebrated, because we certainly have an agenda out there that has to be heard, seen, memorised, taught and spoken to.
It's hard to be green if you are always in the red. Of course we have to make money to pay our bills like everybody else, but we're here to make the best show of what it is we can do.If consumers can appreciate what we're doing, and if politicians and scientists and others who want to steer the pathway for the future, can stop and listen to what it is we have to say, then I think that would be the best payment that we could ever have. Just to get their ear.
Both Annie and myself are not lifestylers or second generation, coming from another occupation trying to find the ideology. I've been growing biodynamically for more than 28 years in Poverty Bay. I think they think I'm a local now. Mind you they still think I'm mad!
We launched a wine brand called 'Crazy by Nature'. It says that in 1984 they thought we were crazy to do what it is that we do, where we do it and how we do it. We've spent the last 28 years proving that they were right. We are crazy. Now, it seems everybody wants to be crazy and that's just what the planet needs.
We're certified as biodynamic (Demeter) and certified as organic (BioGro).It seems to me that the simplest way to get into an export market is with organic certification, because that is quantified.
A lot of other certifications are all ifs and buts, albeit that have some degree of certification and this is backed up by the amount of audits BioGro itself has to undertake to achieve international entry.
But in my game, which is growing wine, the largest interest is in Europe, America, Japan and Australia. As a result of that we have to export our product while still appreciating that our national and, most importantly local market are the most important to us.
Being certified as biodynamic is one thing, but getting into particular markets is more difficult, hence the need to be organically certified by BioGro.
The future must lie in understanding the practice of organics, so that people can see that by applying healthy stimulants to the soil in the form of compost, and applying air and clean water to the soil that is clean is the natural pathway to correct farming. As practitioners we have to stop being soft and sentimental, and maybe be a bit more reactionary, and learn the speak of science and politics, so that we can voice our opinions in the language that they understand. Most importantly though is the need to understand the callings of Mother Nature and know when to react positively to the windows of opportunity she offers.
My greatest joy is going to be getting BioGro to speak to our industry governance –Winegrowers NZ – and for them to come to an understanding that BioGro's Organic Standards for wine growing should be adopted as the standard for the New Zealand wine industry.
Don't go mucking around to try to come up with some other international certified standard which is created without recognition of the practical aspects of the adoption. BioGro's standards are very profound.
They do need to embrace some more ecological requirements which other systems analysis require, and in particular energy and waste water requirements, so that these standards are more dovetailing with the wine industry's Sustainable program. It is mostly a story about tails and dogs. I've never seen the tail wagging the dog.
BioGro is a profound and internationally recognized trademark that is accredited by IFOAM and audited by other certifying agencies. It is a trademark that symbolizes quality and it's also a trademark that is maintained by a group of people who are totally dedicated to what it is that the product stands for.
BioGro is an amazing organization run by people with good warm hearts. They are not in a position to have endless money. If only this government could realise what BioGro has done for this country in the last years and were able to give some support to it then BioGro would be in an even better place to promote the riches of our country: innovation, diversity, nutrient dense foods, ecological, social, cultural and financial responsibility - all things which bio-technology fail to consider in their race to the bottom of the cliff with patent control and product competition.
Our BioGro number is 99. I've been around for a fair few years. One quote I'd like to have in BioNews [BioGro's newsletter] would be that...
'a BioGro audit is the best business plan anyone can have in order to reflect on the years' activity and plan for the coming seasonal requirements'.
Every year I spit and swear at having to renew my BioGro certification, but once I've done it I just have this warmth that flows over me and I think 'Wow, that's a really good retrospect of what I've done this last year'.
That's what I said to BioGro's CEO the other day. 'Let's turn our certification into a retrospective appreciation of what it is we've achieved in the last year, and put it in such a format that it can become a document that other people can refer to as a point of reference.'
Technology and information doesn't have to be held up in the ivory towers. So I'm in full support of BioGro. I would hate to think that we're going to have another series of trademarks that are more producer-friendly or more market entry oriented. I think BioGro does a fantastic job and as time gets on, they can be a little bit more stringent.
There's nothing like having the goal posts raised now and then. Just don't shift them.

Phase 1 - standing aroundEdit
In this phase we will learn the how to translate an FSM graph to the blender logic bricks. As example we let GUS stay around with a little motion. That makes him look alive.
- Download the sample file.
- Lets get rid of the ball objects as we do not need them in phase 1.
- Shift select all ball objects and move them to a hidden layer (e.g. 3).
Now we have GUS without the ball objects ready to start with the tutorial. But first some theory.
Playing animationsEdit
Unfortunatly the Game engine does not tell us when an animation (action) ends. Therefore it is difficult to use the action actuator in play mode. A better way is the action actuator in property mode:
- Select GUSs armature.
- Add an int property named frame as int with default 1. This will be our frame counter.
The property frame will tell as which pose of the current animation is shown by GUS. By changing the frame the pose will be changed as well. In this example the animations start with 1 and are always played forward. Following logic let the property frame count upward. By setting frame to 0 frame the animation will not play.
- Add a property sensor sFrameNot0. Enable true pulse. The sensor triggers true if the property frame is not equal to 0.
- Add an AND controller name it cFrame.
- Connect sFrameNot0 with cFrame.
- Add a property actuator with the name aFrame++. Let it add 1 to the property frame.
- Connect cFrame to aFrame++
The Finite State Machine GraphEdit
I do not wan't to explain FSM in detail here. I recommend to read Finite state machine before procceding with the next section.
In difference to the article mentioned above I use an own notation. The actions are written next to the states/transitions they belong to. The prefix shows the type of action followed by the actuator type and parameters of the actuator.
My actuator types are:
|actuator type
|action name
|It is a property action actuator. The property is "frame"
|message subject
|send to all
|property name
|new value
If required new types and parameters can be added.
Here is an example:
- st - a state action,
- act: performed by an action actuator,
- GUS_standing playing the action GUS_standing
The actions are usually actuators. I used following notation for actuators:
- act - blender action (animation) followed by the start frame
- msg - messages followed by it's subject
The events are usually sensors. I used following notation for sensors:
- "key" - the key "key" was pressed
- frame xx - the property frame contains the value xx
A first simple FSM graphEdit
The FSM starts with the state init. While GUS is in the state init he can perform various task for initialization. There is not really much to do in this stage. GUS will go on to the state stand.
The entry action for state stand is en-frame1. This means the property frame will be set to 1. This resets the current animation to the beginning.
The state action for state stand is to play the animation "GUS_standing".
When the property frame is 151 the animation "GUS_standing" ends. GUS performs a transition from state stand to state stand. This let GUS restart the animation.
The state is just a value within a property. It does not matter what value it is as long it is different to the values of other states. An easy solution is to store the states within a property called state. If it is a string property meaningful values can be choosen.
By the way the values of all properties of an object determine its state. The FSM will concentrate on the state property only.
- Select GUSs armature.
- Add a property state as string with the default value init (the start state).
The state initEdit
To determine the state of GUS we need sensors that check the property state. These sensors are not drawn in the FSM graph as they are implicit represented by the states itself. Each existing state need a sensor that checks for the state name. I named the sensors sState<State name>. For each state we need one sensor.
- Add a property sensor that checks the property state for the value init. Call the sensor sStateInit.
The state standEdit
- Add a property sensor that checks the property state for the value stand. Call the sensor sStateStand.
The transition between the states is represented by the arrow within the graph. The state where the arrow comes from is the current state. The state where the arrow points to is the next state. The event to trigger a transition is written next to the arrow.
A transition can be implemented by changing the property state from one value to another. This can even be the same value as before.
The logic bricks of a transition consists of a state sensor, one or more event sensors, a controller, and a actuator that changes the value of the property state.
I named the event sensors s<Event> to identify the event. The name of the transition controller is c<Current state>-><Next state>. This makes it easier to match the transition from the graph with the controller. The name of the actuator is aState<Next state>.
- Add an always sensor with the name sSceneStart. Switch the true pulse off.
- Add an AND controller. Name it cInit->Stand".
- Connect the sensor sStateInit with the controller cInit->Stand.
- Connect the sensor sSceneStart with the controller cInit->Stand.
- Add a property actuator that assigns the value "stand"' to the property state. Name it aStateStand.
- Connect the controller cInit->Stand with the actuator aStateStand.
- Switch on debug for the property state and enable Game>Show debug properties.
- Start the Game Engine and see the state switches to "stand".
Stand -> StandEdit
As the standing animation will come to an end (at frame 151) we need to restart the standing animation. This will be done by a transition from state stand to stand.
- Add a property sensor named sFrame151 that checks the property frame to be equal to 151.
- Add an AND controller named cStand->Stand.
- Connect the sensor sStateStand with the controller cStand->Stand.
- Connect the sensor sFrame151 with the controller cStand->Stand.
- Optional: Connect cStand->Stand with aStateStand.
Remark: The next sections require the logic bricks described in section "Playing animations".
Actions are represented by actuators. Also the state transition contains an action - the state change. This action is implicit and represented by the arrow. All other actions are explicit written down.
The type of action determines when the action is performed.
Entry ActionEdit
Entry actions are performed when a transition to the current state is finished regardless of the prior state.
I would just add a property change sensor. But this sensor will not fire if a transition back to the current state (stand->stand) is done. Therefore it is necessary to have a property that shows when a state changed. The property will be int that is not zero when the state changed.
To determine if the state was changed all transitions must add 1 to statechanged. There should be only one transition at the time. Each time statechanged is bigger then zero statechanged should be decreaced by 1. This ensures that also imediate transitions are detected.
- Add an int property statechanged with default 1.
- Add a sensor that checks the property statechanged not to be zero. Name it sStatechanged. Set true pulse to fire everytime when the property is not zero.
- Add an AND controller cNoStatechange.
- Connect the sensor sStatechanged with the controller cNoStatechange.
- Add an actuator that adds -1 to the property statechanged. Name it aStatechanged--.
- Connect cNoStatechange to aStatechanged--.
- Add an actuator that adds 1 to the property statechanged. Name it aStatechanged++.
- All transition controllers must be connected to aStatechange++ to tell us the state has changed. In this case there is only one - Connect controller cInit->Stand to actuator aStatechange++.
In our FSM graph the entry action for stand is frame1. This means the property frame should be set to 1. This let the current animation play frame 1.
- Add an AND controller cEn-Stand.
- Connect the sensor sStatechanged with the controller cEn-Stand
- Connect the sensor sStateStand with the controller cEn-Stand
- Add an property actuator that sets the property frame to 1. Name it aFrame1.
- Connect cEn-Stand with the actuator aFrame1
State ActionEdit
State actions are simple to build. They should be performed as long as the state remains the same. It is enough to check the value of the property state.
Here is how to add the state action "st-act:GUS_standing":
- Add an AND controller with the name cStand.
- Connect the sensor sStateStand with the controller cStand.
- Add an action actuator named aStanding. Select the action type "Property". Enter GUS_standing in the field "AC:" and frame in the field "Prop:".
- Connect the controller cStand with aStanding.
Finally the logic bricks should be sorted a little bit to provide a better overview. I placed logical blocks together: Animation logic, State change logic, Transition logic and Action logic.
Obviously there are much simpler ways to get the same result. But this was just phase one. Now proceed with Phase 2 - walking on place or go back to FSM with logic bricks

The Best Off-Centre Hotels in Florence
Spectacular and stimulating, Florence can become busy during summer - as well as baking hot in those beautiful, but exposed, piazzas. So for many years seasoned travellers have chosen to stay outside the centre of town in one of the best off-centre hotels in Florence.
As well as being your haven from the crowds and the heat, many of the hotels on our Guru's list of the best off-centre hotels in Florence have breathtaking views of the city. And because of this city's lovely rural-urban feel, some of the properties on the list feel like they're deep in the Tuscan countryside while really they're only around 30minutes stroll from the Duomo.
Our Guru's list of the best off-centre hotels in Florence includes a monastery with a Michelin star, an artist's retreat on the River Arno and several properties with frescoed ceilings and wonderful art upon the walls. Choosing one of these best off-centre hotels in Florence also means you'll get a bit more for your euro, and there are some great value options both for couples and families.
The Best Off-Centre Hotels in Florence
To Escape the Crowds
- The Villa Antea is an elegant villa in a peaceful residential part of north Florence with winding lanes, historic villas and its own river. The rooms are spacious, with large windows, parquet floors and antique furniture.
- The Marignolle Relais & Charme is a private retreat surrounded by rolling Tuscan hills, but also only 15minutes from Florence. There are ten chic rooms with fine fabrics and antiques, plus a pool and beautiful gardens. There are wonderful walks all around and they run cooking classes for when you get bored of the culture in town!
- The Riva Lofts offer views of the River Arno, but are sufficiently far out of the centre of town for it to feel like you're staying in an urban retreat. Each of these chic lofts have been designed by Claudio Nardi in cutting edge style, and you're welcome to relax by the pool, in the lounge or the gardens or throw a casual dinner party in your loft - it's your home from home. Vintage-style bikes are on hand for visiting the centre of town.
For a Special Occasion
- The Villa San Michele, with its Michelangelo facade, started life in the 15th Century as a monastery, but is now a luxurious 46 room boutique hotel. The wonderful decor has an old world elegance, there's a Michelin starred restaurant and the immaculate gardens offer views over Florence.
- Il Salviatino is an extremely romantic, extremely luxurious 15th Century palazzo conversion in the hills above Florence. The 45 rooms and suites are lavish, with vaulted ceilings and oak floors and there's a spa, a choice of restaurants and some spectacular valley views.
- Or, if you'd prefer your historic villa just five minutes drive from the centre of Florence, then the Villa Tolomei may be for you. It's a small five star hotel, set in 20 peaceful hectares of olive groves and vineyards, with wonderful gardens, a lovely pool and spa and a fantastic Tuscan restaurant.
For Luxury
- Villa Mangiacane is a five star villa with a collection of 27 romantic rooms and suites. Some of the rooms have four-poster beds, fireplaces and mezzanine levels. All of them have huge bathtubs, butler service and stunning views over the vineyards and grounds of the villa. There's also a pampering spa a great restaurant.
- Once a private home, the Torre di Bellosguardo is a beautiful villa which overlooks Florence from its hilltop position. If you appreciate palatial rooms with wonderful frescoed ceilings and four poster beds then this might be the place for you.
For Families
- The Villa le Piazzole is a wonderful old country house turned apartment and villa collection. There are 14 apartments or villas, all of them with elegant interiors - think stone floors, four-poster beds and art on the walls - and a restaurant and pool. Though they also offer self catering.
For Great Value
- The Villa Fiesole is a charming, traditional villa in the hills overlooking Florence. There are 32 rooms, all with parquet floors, and creamy, neutral decor, plus a restaurant, terraces and a swimming pool. With a room rate which starts from less than £85 per night.

Here's a list of the top Frequently Asked Questions. If you have other questions, you can call us at 604-488-9839 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll be happy to help you.
1. How are you different from other cremation providers?
a. A Basic Cremation Inc. costs up to 80% less than many funeral homes, depending on where you call. A Basic Cremation Inc. is privately owned by PRESTON WEBB and family, unlike some other cremation providers, who use words and phrases like "when all you want is a simple cremation, we come to you, come to us and save, an affordable cremation, lowest cost cremation guaranteed, no service by request, family-owned, arranged directly or deal directly with the crematorium, when that's all you need, because that's all we do and just cremation" in their names and ads.
b. Unknown to the public, they are actually either owned by or affiliated to traditional funeral homes who practice what I call "2-tier" or "double-standard" pricing. The price depends on whether you call the "parent" funeral home number or their cremation service number and sometimes on whether you go to their office or they go to you. Their funeral home price typically starts from three or more times as much as their cremation service price and some charge quite a bit more just to go to your home! If you think the "parent" funeral home price is too high, they refer you to "someone they know" who will "do it for less" but it's just one of their own staff in another office or room at a different phone number, so you're really still dealing with the same people! This is NOT the case with A Basic Cremation Inc.
c. Some of these "parent" funeral homes will actually offer to"match" any lower price such as ours, but all that really means is that they just tried to take advantage of you, since they actually CAN do it for a lower price after all! Think about it for a minute…..instead of being fooled into thinking you just got a GREAT DEAL from them, they just tried to rip you off! It's "double-standard" pricing! Why didn't they just quote you the lower price in the first place instead of offering you a "great deal" by suddenly dropping their price to "match" a competitor's LOWER price???
d. At A Basic Cremation Inc. we have only one basic price, which INCLUDES meeting you anywhere in Greater Vancouver that is convenient to you to make the arrangements. We will first come to make the cremation arrangements and subsequently to deliver the ashes and Death Certificate(s) to you when everything is ready in about a week after the arrangements are made.
e. Alternatively you can make these arrangements by email (or fax) – all you need is a printer and a scanner or fax. You DON'T EVER have to step into the crematory unless you choose to.
We are also different from other cremation providers in that:
i) We do not use flimsy cardboard cremation 'containers' to cremate your loved one's remains in. These 'containers' are just that – flimsy cardboard boxes, which show no respect or dignity to your loved one. We ONLY use rigid wood based cremation containers which will not collapse or even bend when your loved one's remains are placed in them. Please note that these containers are good for up to a maximum of 300lbs only (136kg). In excess of this weight we have to use a heavy-duty cremation container at an additional cost.
ii) We do not EVER require or demand "payment up-front" or even a deposit when making the arrangements, as most of our competitors do. In fact, we actually prefer that you not pay us until we complete everything and deliver your loved one's ashes and the Death Certificate(s) back to you back. You are entrusting the care of your loved one to us, surely we can trust you to pay us when we return!
2. Where are you located?
A Basic Cremation Inc.'s registered office is in Coquitlam but you don't have to worry about coming to us because we will meet you ANYWHERE in Greater Vancouver to make the arrangements and to deliver the ashes and Death Certificate(s) when they are ready. The arrangements comprise of completing the Cremation Contract and Cremation Authorization, taking between 20 – 30 minutes of your time.
3. Where do you take our loved ones' remains to?
Your loved one's remains are transferred directly to the crematorium to await the necessary documentation for cremation. The cremation can only be done after 48 hours have passed from the time of death and all the necessary documentation is in place. However the remains will be transferred to the crematorium as soon as practically possible.
4. How long does it take?
Under normal circumstances, we deliver the ashes and Death Certificate(s) to the family in about a week from the day the arrangements are made and your loved one is released to us. Sometimes a delay in the hospital or coroner's release or a delay in the physician or coroner issuing the medical certificate of death required for death registration or a Coroner's investigation into the death, will delay delivery accordingly.
5. What are the costs?
A Basic Cremation Inc. costs significantly LESS, please see Our Basic Package. Optional extras such as the purchase of an urn, viewing, dressing, witnessing the cremation start, transfer from a private residence (for an expected home-death), rush transfer, after hours transfer (4pm to 9am, Monday to Friday or anytime on a Weekend or Govt. Stat. Holiday), heavy-duty cremation container and extended cremation fee (for individuals 300lb and over) or sea scattering of the ashes do incur optional additional fees. We will gladly quote additional items over the phone and will mail or email our current Price List to you upon request.
6. What if we want to have a viewing or witness the start of the cremation?
This can be arranged with sufficient notice and only in this instance would you have to go to the crematory, which levies additional fees for a viewing or witnessing the start of the cremation. Viewing does involve some additional work and the use of their viewing room and witnessing the start of the cremation does interrupt the crematorium's busy schedule. Within a short time, we expect to have our very own, centrally-located crematory which will eliminate some of these additional fees, but for the moment, the crematory we use exclusively charges these additional fees.
7. What if we don't want the ashes back?
You can authorize us in writing during the arrangements to scatter the ashes permanently on your behalf, for a very nominal fee as this is an optional, extra service. The ashes will be scattered in our own time, in an undisclosed location.
8. What about burying or shipping the ashes?
We can provide you with a list of cemeteries and you will deal directly with the cemetery of your choice. As an extra service we will deliver the ashes directly to any cemetery in the Greater Vancouver for you at no extra charge. In the case of shipping, we will package and ship the ashes for you pre-paid. All shipping, packaging and handling costs plus tax are additional.
9. What if we want to have a service?
A Basic Cremation Inc. is for mainly families who either do not wish to have a service or who prefer to arrange a Memorial Service or 'Celebration of Life' on their own. You can arrange this directly with a church or other facility or just have friends and family gather in your home or a local community hall, rec hall, church hall or restaurant banquet room for a reception and Celebration. You can also search online or in the Yellow Pages for a suitable hall or reception facility in your area and you would arrange the service or reception directly with them. We can however recommend a Minister or Celebrant for the service.
10. What about newspaper death notices?
We find that most families prefer to place obituaries and death notices directly with the newspapers themselves so we do not offer this as part of our service. Remember to prepare the obituary notice before you contact the newspaper and have your credit card number ready for them. They tend to prefer that you email or fax the notice in rather than telephone it in these days, but do call their Classifieds to find out first.
11. Why aren't you a member of the BBB?
A Basic Cremation Inc. replaces any funeral home and is fully licensed and regulated by Consumer Protection BC. If you need to confirm our good standing, legitimacy and license status please contact Consumer Protection BC since it is they, and NOT the BBB, who license and regulate A Basic Cremation Inc. and the entire cremation, funeral and cemetery industry.
WHO are the BBB? They neither license nor regulate A Basic Cremation Inc. or the cremation and funeral industry and we STRONGLY DISAGREE with the fact that all the funeral homes and cremation providers who are members "in good standing" of the BBB, charge exorbitant prices and some of them practice the double-standard 2-tier pricing and price-matching!!!
HOW this makes them "members in good-standing" is beyond our understanding and a totally unacceptable practice!!!
So PLEASE contact Consumer Protection BC to confirm our credentials, good standing and licensing status – http://www.consumerprotectionbc.ca and NOT THE BBB!

A week in the life of Karla Crose
Being a Division 1 volleyball player is probably the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me. I dreamed of it as a kid, and watched that dream come true in high school when I signed my letter of intent. I couldn't wait to get to the "big leagues" so I could play in front of a big crowd, travel to different places, and enjoy all of the wonderful things that D1 volleyball is all about.
Now, in my fourth year of college, I have found all of these things to be true and just as great as I imagined. Anyone who comes to our matches knows that we travel all over the country, have a great home crowd filled with awesome supporters, and that we play on the court as hard as we can for every game that we're out there.
What most people don't see, however, is the "behind the scenes" view of our lives. Coming into college, I knew that it would be hard work, but you never really understand until you're right there in the thick of it.
For example, here is a typical week for me: Monday through Thursday I go to class every morning. On certain days I am on campus from 8:30am to 1:20pm for classes. Then directly after class I grab a bite to eat and head to practice. We normally practice from about 2:30-5:30pm, and lift weights either before or after on some days.
After practice I am sometimes done for the day, but I have a chemistry lab on Wednesday nights which lasts until 10:00pm, and other nights I am usually studying or doing homework for a class. These are full days which don't allow much time for one of my favorite free-time activities: a nap. This is a normal week so far for me, but then on Fridays it gets a little different.
If we have an away game that weekend we'll leave on Thursday nights or Friday morning which means I have to miss class. This also means that I have to contact my professor and make up any homework or tests before I leave. Road trips are fun, but I have to constantly remind myself to study on the plane or in the hotel room so I can stay caught up with my studies.
After a weekend of playing on the road, we normally get back on Sunday nights and then my week begins again on Monday morning when I go to class again at 8:30am.
Although my schedule is busy, and I have to balance my classes and volleyball, I wouldn't trade these experiences for anything. This is a once in a lifetime chance to do something that I love at a level that I always dreamed of playing at, and it's been worth every sacrifice and long day that I've had.
