Ok, so we're having our wedding ceremony in Spain in 12 weeks, but we legally have to get married over here first as it's much too complicated to do it there. We're having the legal bit in a registry office on a Wednesday afternoon(both leaving work early), wearing jeans, not saying vows and not even exchanging rings, as we want our 'real' emotional wedding day to be with all our family and friends in Spain a few weeks later. We asked two friends who aren't coming to the wedding in Spain and had planned to go for a pizza and some drinks afterwards – basically the legal bit will be as casual and quick as possible, to us it's just signing papers(that's NO criticism to anyone who has been married in a registry office, I've seen some beautiful weddings including my sisters in a registry office but ours will literally last 10 minutes and be as unemotional as possible).
We specifically didn't want any of our family or friends who are coming to the wedding in Spain to be at the legal bit in the UK(why would we?)after all we've spent a year planning our ceremony in Spain and would feel a little silly getting married in front of everyone twice…when I mentioned to my sister that we were having our friends at the legal bit as witnesses(a couple we have known for 4 years)she blew up at me and said I was selfish and inconsiderate and cruel for not asking her to be there, because I was there to witness her marriage in a registry office a couple of years ago and how could I ask my friends to be witnesses over her? But then if she is the only family member there that might p*ss other people off, like my Fiance mother(her only son, and even she understood we don't want any family at the legal part!)
Her wedding was decided and organised within a few weeks, neither of my parents were there, no family except me and even my partner of 5 years at that point was not invited, as the registry office would only allow two witnesses, myself and my now brother-in-laws friend. Their ceremony was lovely, we met my partner afterwards and went to a fancy cocktail bar, and my sister and her husband then stayed in a beautiful waterfront hotel for a couple of nights.
When I tried to explain to my sister that the registry office bit doesn't mean anything to me or Fiance this angered her further, maybe I shouldn't have worded it like that as it obviously hurt her and possibly made her think I was belittling her wedding, when I'm having mine with all our family and having a reception etc, I love my sister to death and hurting her would NEVER be intentional, BUT I do kind of feel like why should I avoid speaking about my wedding plans, dress etc just because she had a stupid argument with my parents and decided to basically elope at the last minute with no family at the wedding bar me, I feel like she deprived my parents(who have done nothing but good things for her)of the chance to see their first born walk down the aisle, she can be hot headed, and I feel like some feelings of resentment over my upcoming wedding might have made her react the way she did when I didn't ask her to be a witness at the legal bit.
Just to make it clear, she's my maid of honour at our ceremony in Spain, and as soon as me and Fiance decided to have the wedding abroad I made it clear to everyone, my parents, Fiance parents, AND my sister that the legal bit was just that, a LEGAL requirement for us to be married in Spain, the date we sign the papers will have no emotional significance for us, and our wedding anniversary date will be the day we stand in front of all our friends and family and say our vows, why can't she understand this? Or am I being completely inconsiderate to her feelings?
The date for the legal part is coming up and we haven't spoken about it again, the registry office only allows two witnesses and we've already asked our friends, but I can't risk all this blowing up again so near to my wedding, what should I do? I think there's an extra fee we can pay to have another person in the room while signing the documents, but then again there will still only be two legal witnesses signing the docs, our friends, and I'm worried my sister still won't be happy with this?

GENEVA (Jan. 16)
A closed session of the Council of the League of Nations today resolved to forward the petition submitted by Gustave Simon, a Jewish lawyer of Breslau, to the League Mixed Commission Tribunal at Kattowice, Upper Silesia, for examination.
The petition submitted to the League Council by Herr Simon, one of a number, declared that the Nazi government of Upper Silesia had by means of a false accusation deprived him of a livelihood as a lawyer in Breslan and in Upper Silesia Herr Simon was accused by the Nazis of being a Communist.
The Mixed Upper Silesian Commission at Kattowice has before it for consideration three petitions accusing the German government of having broken all its promises to the League made after the League had upheld the famous petition submitted by Franz Bernheim, Upper Silesian Jewish citizen. Germany is accused of having persisted in its systematic exclusion of Upper Silesian Jews from all means of livelihood.
Originally it was assumed that the Upper Silesian petitions would come up for discussion and consideration at the League Council meeting, but in referring the petitions to the Mixed Commission, the Council has side-stepped the possibility of further antagonizing the German government, at the same time assuring the petitions a hearing.

Slutsk: Executive committee's ideologists "train" chairs and secretaries of precinct election commissions
On August 15th two conferences took place in the building of Slutsk rayon executive committee. The first conference gathered chairmen and secretaries of rural precinct election commissions, and the second one gathered chairmen and secretaries of urban precinct committees.
The conferences were organized directly by Slutsk executive committee officials: deputy head of the committee for social issues and ideological work Piotr B. Dauhuchyts and head of ideological department of the committee Larysa H. Dabravolskaya.
Observer in Slutsk district # 74 Vital Amialkovich tried to get to those meetings but was denied entry. The reason for denial was standard: as an observer in district # 74, Amialkovich has the right to attend meetings only of that district election commission, but not the meetings organized by the bodies of executive power. The observer addressed head of the district election commission A. A. Andrushkevich, but he also referred to the fact that the conferences were organized by representatives of Slutsk executive committee, and they were to decide who could attend them.
According to a representative of Slutsk executive committee, by organizing the conferences, the authorities do not interfere in the election process, but just hold "trainings" for chairmen and secretaries of precinct commissions.
Later observer Amialkovich found out, the conferences were also attended by pro-governmental candidate Inesa A. Kliashchuk. What kind of training she was trying to get?

Sisal Rugs & Flatweave Rugs
Buy Sisal Rugs and Flatweave Rugs Online or In-Store
For when you want to brighten up a room or cover up a cold floor without the distinctive feel or warmth retention of a pile carpet or rug, there is another alternative which can tick all boxes. Scattermats flatweave rugs, as the name implies, are woven flat, with no pile. Often featuring beautiful patterned designs these light, comfortable coverings are frequently double-sided with a second pattern on the underside, giving you twice the use and twice the design possibilities. Because of their lightweight, low profile nature these rugs can be easily handled even in very large sizes, and clean better than thickly piled rugs, making them fantastic for spicing up large, empty areas with high foot traffic. They are truly a product to suit modern open-plan homes and minimalist décor, a great blend of style and substance.
Decorate Your House With the Best in Hard-Wearing Plant Fibres
Another prominent feature of the Scattermats range of flatweave rugs is their material composition, responsible for their durable and easy to dye nature. Harkening back to their strong history in African and Subcontinental cultures, these rugs are most often made up of natural plant fibres such as Sisal and Jute.
Renowned throughout the ages for their strength flexibility and ability to stretch, the advantages of these fibres carry over to our rugs, making them perfect for hard-working applications like a dining room floor. You can also use them as a compromise for when your family members are allergic to the dust which can build up in other rugs and carpets; as it does not trap dust, simply vacuuming regularly is enough to keep the area free of dust and irritants.
Get Advice on Carpet Varieties From Our Expert Team
There is so much to consider when trying to shop for rugs to fill your home; factors such as foot traffic, potential for spills, cleaning options – it becomes more trouble than it's worth very quickly for most homeowners. That's why we recommend calling the Scattermats team on 08 9418 3567, or simply coming in to our Perth rug warehouse to speak with the team. We've been in the industry for over 30 years, and our rug experts will be able to determine whether your house is in need of our Jute and Sisal rugs, and which ones you should be taking home. And if you can't make it in to our warehouse in person, check out our online store, with free shipping within Australia for orders above $150. At these prices it's easy to find a rug that's right for you.

Exchange 2010 with SnapProtect
Exchange 2010 with SnapProtect
Hi All.
I'm currently working on a system comprising of two 8020 FASs (Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3) with an existing SnapProtect 10 SP10 implementation using Primary and SnapVault style backups with VSA and NAS (NFS) backups working fine. Exchange 2010 is running on the VM system and currently backed up just using the VSA. The protocols in use are NFS and CIFS - (including NFS for the VMDKs that hold Exchange). My query is regarding the options for granular restore for items (i.e. per mailbox/per mail item) with SnapProtect and either the Exchange Database Agent or the Exchange Offline Mining Tool with the minimum of disruption to the existing systems. There are plenty of guides describing how to build a complete system from scratch with media servers and new storage policies etc. however, can anyone suggest any pointers as to what components and processes are required to add the granular restore of Exchange items to this existing setup would be? Do I need a completely new Storage Policy or can it be acheived by modifying existing components?
Thanks in advance,

Beer for Dessert! Have a Beer Float
Root beer may be traditional, but a float made with actual beer? Now that's a treat! Beers like chocolate stouts and fruity lambics are halfway to being desserts already. By adding a scoop of ice cream, we're just helping things along.
As the weather starts to warm and head towards summer, these beer and ice cream combos are sounding particularly appealing:
• Chocolate Stout with Chocolate Ice Cream - Double chocolate! • Witbier with Raspberry Sorbet - A lighter float to end a meal. • Mocha Stout with Coffee Ice Cream - Post-dinner pick me up. • Hefeweizen with Vanilla Ice Cream - Think creamsicle. • Fruit Lambic with Vanilla Ice Cream - Peach or cherry lambic are my favorites for this.
More fun with beer floats!
• Beer Float with Hoppin' Frog Imperial Oatmeal Stout • Cherry Lambic Ice Cream Float • Cool Treats: Beer and Ice Cream Floats
Do you have a favorite beer and ice cream pairing?

The city's role as a commercial and cultural hub in the Flemish region continues to grow as the area attracted 1.54 million tourists in the first three quarters of 2014, a 6.6% increase on the same period in 2013.<\/p>
Adam Wilson, Vice President of JLL's Hotel and Hospitality Group commented<\/strong> "This transaction is demonstrative of international capital targeting prime assets within secondary European cities. It is a trend we are seeing, partly as a result of intense competition for real estate in gateway cities such as London and Paris.  Wilson adds that "We have also seen investors becoming more relaxed to management encumbered investment opportunities, whereas 12 to 24 months ago they were perceived as being less attractive."<\/p>
JLL recently commented on<\/a> the strong investor sentiment in EMEA in its 2015 Hotel Investment Outlook. The report forecast close to $25bn in hotel trades in EMEA in 2015, up from $21.5bn in 2014 and representing 36% of all hotel transactions globally.<\/p>

By: Lee A Vedder
104 pages, 47 colour illus
Huntingdon Library Publications
John James Audubon's sumptuous four-volume edition of "Birds of America", published between 1827 and 1838, contains 435 hand-colored life-size prints of 1,065 individual American birds. A glorious union of science and art, it remains an unequaled achievement in ornithology illustration. In tracing Audubon's quest to produce this groundbreaking work, Vedder draws on the artist and naturalist's own writings and the latest scholarship on his life and on "Birds of America".
Plates from the Huntington Library's double-elephant folio are reproduced in colour, including the wild turkey, Baltimore oriole, bald eagle, and (once presumed extinct) ivory-billed woodpecker. Vedder provides with each plate a commentary on the unique characteristics of the species depicted, based on Audubon's own observations in the field.
"[...] This is an excellent introduction to Audubon's life and work, and would be highly recommended to those who are not familiar with them. However, if you are looking for more than just a survey I would suggest skipping this title [...]"

With the total vote still outstanding incumbent Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has a small lead of 20,000 votes over former military general Muhammadu Buhari. Nigerian Election is Still Too Close to Call
Neutral observers from the United Kingdom and the United States have reported no evidence of systemic voter manipulation or intimidation at the polls but some reports do exist that votes may be spotty on a location by location basis. The stakes for Nigerians could not be any bigger as the country is confronting a major terrorist threat from Boko Harem and the country continues to solidify is place in the world economy. CNN reoprted that Nigeria is a major member of OPEC and has the largest economy on the African continent. The task ahead of the new President will not be easy.
The Goodluck Jonathan administration has made major strides in pushing back and retaking territories and bases seized by the militant group Boko Harem. However, there has not been any success in retrieving the more than 300 girls that were kidnapped from their school in Northern Nigeria early last year. The kidnappings reached headlines globally and struck a chord with even the first lady, Michelle Obama. The lost girls have not been a major issue in the election but it is still n the minds of many Nigerians. The key issue that the country will face will be its economic growth and how it fits into a new world order based on dropping oil prices.

A while back I did a post criticizing the idea that theistic evolution is a form of intelligent design. My argument was that theistic evolutionists accept modern evolutionary science as essentially correct, but also believe that it is not the whole story. This is relevantly different from those who say that modern science is rotten to the core. In the political arena theistic evolutionists are on the right side of issues in science education, whereas the ID folks are on the wrong side. For those reasons, it is simply unfair to equate the two. Or so I argued, at any rate.
I stand by that post, but lately I've been noticing theistic evolutionists themselves seem determined to undermine my argument. Consider, for example, the subtitle of this article from Christianity Today:
How two evangelicals—one a young-earth creationist, the other an evolutionary creationist—have lived out their faith and professions.
That phrase "evolutionary creationist," has been appearing more and more lately. I find it disturbing, and frankly it's the kind of thing that makes me worry that I need to rethink my earlier post. Part of the problem is the use of the word "creationist." That word is nowadays so debauched and disreputable, that if you insist on applying it to yourself you should not be surprised when people lump you in with the fundamentalists.
But that's not the main issue. The distinction between the two expressions is this: In the phrase "theistic evolution," it is the evolution that is front and center. The theistic part is an add-on. It's saying, in effect, that the science is paramount and that any talk of God is something you do at night after you leave the lab. I approve of that formulation. It puts the emphasis where it belongs. I have all sorts of criticisms to make of theistic evolution, but I do not see it as anti-science or anything like that.
Contrast this with "evolutionary creation." Now the emphasis is on creation. The focus is on what God did. Science's contribution, the evolution part, is to reveal something about God. It is a throwback to the bad old days when science was just the handmaiden of religion. Mind you, this is not me overanalyzing things. This is precisely how the defenders of the term "evolutionary creation," explain the distinction themselves.
The problem with creationism and ID is not just that its adherents make fallacious arguments about science. It is that the philosophy underlying anti-evolutionism is dangerous and contemptible. The bad arguments are the symptom, the disease is believing that science is secondary to faith. It was a disease the theistic evolutionists were formerly keen to abjure.
Folks can describe themselves however they want to, of course. But if those who would reconcile evolution and religion are absolutely determined to blur the line between their view and ID, and to declare through their choice of label their intellectual kinship with anti-science forces, they cannot then complain when folks fail to make a distinction between the two camps.

The old dairy barn
Posted: September 28th, 2013 | Author: eliza | Filed under: barns, history, life, yard | No Comments »
The old dairy barn finally seems to be coming down. It was on the way out when we bought the place in 2009 but it's hung on surprisingly long, through a few hurricanes and a lot of wet heavy March snowstorms. Every time we get a big storm, we can't wait to go check out the barn and see what's fallen down. We've talked about having it demolished but we keep hoping Mother Nature will do the job for free. It's a kind of picturesque wreck and I hold it no grudge (in 2011 we got married in the backyard with the collapsed dairy barn as backdrop), but it was always wayyyy too far gone to think about saving it. (Also we don't have any cows or anything, though a big old barn in better condition could've been a great venue for movie screenings, barn dances, yoga classes…)
Based on old photos and some historical society documentation, we think the original barn burned in the 1930′s so this barn was probably the replacement for the old barn lost to fire. It was a dairy barn; the Brunk farm sold milk to the Locust Farm Dairy that used to be in Limington.
A few years back, we found some neat cattle tags(?) buried in the yard next to the barn while doing some yard work.
Typical 20th century construction, the barn was huge but nowhere near as sturdily built as the older ell and house. Leaky roof and time and no maintenance is presumably what did it in. By the time the Brunk family sold the property by the early 1980′s, the farmers would've been aging and dairy farming in Maine was becoming increasingly unprofitable, so (like so many rural Maine dairy operations) it's no surprise that they didn't put too many resources into maintaining a dairy barn with a leaky roof. Since the 80′s it seems like the barn's been mostly ignored and used for dumping junk. Day by day it's sinking and slumping. We go out and check after every big storm and often we're surprised that nothing has budged, despite howling winds and whipping rain and wet heavy snow, even when the yard is littered with tree limbs and debris, the barn holds up. But this week's been peaceful and sunny and beautiful, and we just noticed that it's gone down dramatically while we weren't paying attention.
I wish we'd managed to set up a proper time lapse record of the changes, but we're not so organized.
And here's the back.

May Personalization Roundup
By Dan Darnell in Personalization on May 29, 2013
We've seen a steady flow of articles discussing machine learning, online privacy and personalization. While each of these topics is interesting in and of itself, the confluence of these three topics is where the digital debate is headed. What data should algorithms consume in order to provide consumers with a personalized experience without infringing on personal privacy? What role do humans play in determining how technology ...

I'd be remiss in not joining the chorus of tributes to the late Virginia Huidekoper, an icon of Jackson Hole who passed away Sunday in her cabin above Wilson at 88 years old.
Angus Thuermer of the News&Guide has penned a couple of fitting obituaries (here and here). Columnist Todd Wilkinson also wrote a remembrance, in which he accurately declares, "What Huidekoper didn't countenance well was B.S."
Virginia was a pioneer of skiing on Teton Pass. Her exploits were chronicled in the excellent ski film Legends of the Fall Line. She co-founded the Jackson Hole News with Ralph Gill in 1970 and took the famous photo of Bill Briggs' ski tracks after his first descent of the Grand Teton.
She also was a rancher, equestrian, pilot and all-around hell-raiser. In politics, she was a brave and defiant leader of the opposition, running twice for Wyoming Senate as a Democrat. Years ago, she famously remarked, "All the Democrats in Teton County could meet in a phone booth." I'm glad she lived to see the tidal wave of Obama supporters flood the convention in 2008.
For the Jackson Peace Rally in 2007, Virginia was invited to pull down the faux statue of Dick Cheney with a lasso and her horse. She was unable to participate, but appreciated the idea. Her spirit of political engagement lives on, especially in her granddaughter Claire Fuller.
Nobody could say she didn't squeeze enough life out of her years. Thanks, Virginia, for showing us the way.

Crossposted from http://parsantium.wordpress.com/blog/
This week I've been working my way through the text, revising what I wrote in the first draft, and incorporating feedback from Kate's initial edit and from other people who've been kind enough to read bits of the manuscript and give me their honest opinion on what works and what doesn't. Since I'm starting at the beginning, most of this material is stuff I wrote way back in January or February, so I'm checking that the material is consistent with what I've written more recently, making changes where necessary.
I'm also starting to think about the layout, now that the first draft is done, and the art I need. The whole book is going to be longer than I initially expected, likely around 120 pages which means I am going to have to put more interior art in than I planned. Given that my budget is limited, some of this will have to be stock art or out of copyright illustrations, but I am going to need to commission some new art too. I want to make sure I choose the right pictures to include, so have a question for you:
If you're reading a city sourcebook, what kind of art do you find most useful or relevant ? Drawings of NPCs? Illustrations of important locations? Street scenes? Events from history? Let me know in the comments!
And if you are an artist who does black & white illustrations, feel free to get in touch!

- Former WWE Diva Debra recently spoke with Knox Pro Radio about her career with WWE and more. The interview is embedded above.
- The woman WWE was using as Fandango's original dancer is 20 year old Andrea Lynn, who goes to college and works as a dance instructor. BuffaloNews.com recently spoke with her and she revealed WWE may use her as a dancer again in the future. She talked about the "Fandangoing" craze:
"That's not dancing, not at all," she said, shaking her head. "That's not giving the ballroom world justice. I can teach people how to dance if they want to learn."
- Apparently we will be seeing a lot of Jimmy Uso and Naomi's relationship on WWE's Total Divas show. The Total Divas have been filming in Las Vegas all week and Jimmy has been right there with Naomi. Here's another photo from her Instagram:

The Horror is weird & Jesus fly on a cloud
Hola, Christmas is here and we wanted to share this game art and this amazing animated gif with all the people of China.
Chico: Who cares about Christmas? The end of the world is here! Sálvese quien pueda!
Yes but don't be afraid Chico, I think this is the Parousia.
Chico: What?!
The second coming of Lord Jesus Christ to our planet... flying in the sky... risen in a cloud... I'm not kidding... soooo lets talk about Catequesis meanwhile we wait looking at the sky.
Chico: Ok. Great art pal, it is really weird.
Gracias, I relied on the work of Maruo and Junji Ito, this two mangakas represent what I told the last week, the weird japanese touch, this sick way to see the fear. Sometimes I read occidental creators talking about the fear, the classic less is more, if you don't show the monster to the player/viewer, he will be more scared, imagining the horrors hidden in the dark. I don't totally agree with that, it's a fact. But I'd like to complement this with two more facts, the "not understand" and the "collective unconscious".
Chico: Wait, this is like a lot of cultures around the world have the same perception of god?
Yes, and this a perfect example of both concepts my dear Chico. In one side we have the symbols written in our mind like serial, the survival of our specie give us fear of the blood, dark, fangs, claws or spiders and snakes. In the other side we have the things that we can't understand. This two concepts forge the elements of fear, and mixed with the concept of "don't show the monster" can be really powerful in horror. But, what happen when I want to give a step into the dark? keep the fear, or show the monster? I know how to show it, and I will tell you...
Chico: When?
Well... OH MY GOOoooOOOoooOD! Jesus flying rise on a cloud!

Survival Horror Story II: The Pain of Spain.
Yeah, I had to write the story of Catequesis in two weeks... ok, it isn't the Quixote, but I did a good structure and defined characters to put the project on tracks. A French producer gave me money to start with the production of the best scary film ever.
Chico: Are you drunk? Stop lying to me and tell me the story of Catequesis!
Yes, I mean, no, the other day I said that the story is ultra important in this game, if I tell you all the plot... sorry, you will have to make an idea with the synopsis written somewhere. But I can tell you about the style & references.
Well, I'm a audiovisual creator, with experience in weird-mystery-scary shortfilms (take a look www.videoclubmisterio.com) so I'm a great fan of surrealism of Lynch, (by the way Spain have a great surrealist artist too) I love the new flesh of Cronenberg too, and I have a Japanese mind, with the weird-sick view of Nippon culture, so I put a great example with Deadly Premonition, a deformed copy of Resident Evil and Twin Peaks, with surreal touch of humour and a really great story. Lovecraft is a constant, you can't put monsters in your story and not talk about Lovecraft...
Chico: Looks interesting but what's the last picture?
It is Jesus, amigo mio. A mix between Lynch and Japanese culture is not difficult, so I wanted to put a little Spanish touch. I love the history and I can talk a lot of the Spanish history, we are a country who embrace the religion like no other in Europe, we use it to unify our country and control others countries too... for example the Spanish Inquisition were present in every corner of Europe and America. So the religion deformed Spanish culture in every aspect... I want to put some of this in my game.
Chico: The Spanish are always the bad guys in movies. Black, obscure, traditional, greedy, with intrigues and machinations, plundering the Americas in the name of church...
Yes, I love it. So for this reason I wanted to name this game "Catequesis", with the expression in Spanish.
Chico: Ok, sounds cool for me, and even gives some kind of bad feeling the word...
In my head is like Telequinesis but in religion (n_n')
Chico: mmm... or so. Then this word means something in the game right? And are the hero of Catequesis Spanish? Too blond for it...
Daniel isn't Spanish, he is the good guy so... But I will tell you more things in the next post. Saludos!

Catequesis Tech Inside #1
Hi there, Maxime here, developer of Catequesis.
For my first post, I'll talk a bit of what's under the hood of the Catequesis project.
I'm a Java developer so Java is the language used in every components of the Catequesis project. It's definitely a good choice for targeting Desktop and Android ( and even web, but this is another topic ). Java is a rather modern language, that can run on many platform. It's object oriented (which is really great for games) , has a really huge ecosystem, and focus more on productivity than performances ( which is good enough for a 2D game ).

The Catequesis project is composed by:
- The game itself. Android code and Desktop code differs on some specific platform related issue, but most of the code is the same between the 2 platforms. That's a huge advantage.
- The editor : We got a great map editor that allows us to create maps the way we want without requiring any code knowledge.
- Tools : There are some inside tools dedicated to automation of dull tasks.
- People : us, basically. I should have put people on the first point though !
A question that we're often asked is : "Which framework do you use?" followed by "Really ?! But why did you have to recode everything rather than using a game framework ?".
You have already guessed that, in Catequesis, everything is home-made. My game framework is something I started to develop 3 years ago, for fun. I wished to learn how to use OpenGL. At that time I decided to build a little game that leads to the creation of Tales of Pocoro.
In 3 years, the engine got bigger and better. It's not that hard to code, but just take time to read, experiment and implement.
When Francisco asked me to develop Catequesis, I already had my own engine, with a light editor. So, for me it was easier and more interesting to use my own tools and improve them rather than starting from scratch using a game framework.

For a more technical approach, for my fellow developers, here are some random facts:
- The editor is full Java, and uses Swing.
- The game uses JOGL, a library from Jogamp, that allow Java use OpenGL in a very low level way, pretty much the same way you can use OpenGL on Android ( which is really convenient ).
- On the desktop, the sound is handled by JOAL, another library from Jogamp ( love you guys <3 ).
- Every library we use is open-source.
- All the content of the game is home-made too
If you have questions regarding this, do not hesitate to ask in a comment. I'll be glad to answer.

Survival Horror Story I : Me talking alone.
Hola chavales, so let's make a Survival Horror game! Great, I made some characters in Fireworks, I can do some little animations, a lot of ugly creatures and maybe I can trick a programmer to work for me... (there are a lot of them on internet) Let's make this game!
Rodrigo Chico: Eh, nice sketches but what about the game?
Well, you know, a survival horror, shoot few bullets in the creatures faces. But in this case in a original and fabulous 8bit style! Look at this sketches. Aren't they amazing?
Rodrigo Chico: Maybe, but I want to know about the story... what happens in the game?
Oh, that's the question dear Rodrigo. Sometimes I hear developers, gamers or even my mum saying things like "La historia no importa en un videojuego" (Story does not matter in a video game). I have long discussions with these people because the story matters, always. And they say "In a action game? are you bananas? You only want to kill, who cares about the story?" Some people thinks the story is a never ending scroll text telling you about ancient characters called Ainulindale Noldor in a far world of... whatever... I think a story can be found in two sentences, or a scar in a character face, or a logo in a uniform. Sometimes people think the game will be the same without a story, you have to reach your target, your objective, kill the f*cking boss, that's it. But if you think about, it's not the same feeling to kill the boss because its a bad person, or to kill him because he kidnapped your girlfriend, or the king of Spain, or your blind son, or a radioactive ficus. Because you want to be a part of the game, even in a casual game, you have to care about this issue.
Rodrigo Chico: Well, but what do you tell me about Tetris? eh?
Yes, Tetris has no story, but it has a music, and graphics and this things are connected in a Russian style, that's a story for me too. I have some good example with Triple Town, this is a Tetris-like but with a different story (and gameplay), the same mechanics will work without the trees and the bears, but... you know, its not the same game. So the story its important to define a game, any game.
Rodrigo Chico: Ok, you're right, so tell me now what about Catequesis?
I think this is a great subject for the next post. ;)
By the way, for the next week my French fella Max will make a post about cooking baguettes in Java environment.

A demon called me while I was playing Pico Hero.
Hi, my name is Fran and this is my first time doing a dev diary... I'm the game designer of Catequesis, in charge of the content...In Spanish we can say that I'm in charge of the "chicha" of the game. Yes, also I'm an atypical Spaniard so I will try to teach the people some words in my language, why not.
S.H.S. Catequesis is the synthesis of a mix of some interesting games, like "Resident Evil I"... I played the original "Alone in the dark" but never "Resident Evil I", I had the opportunity in the Wii, with the restored edition, I really love the tension & the deep mystery of the story. I played an indie game adventure called "5 Days A Stranger", the first of a game series by Ben Croshaw, some kind of freak of the adventures and retro games... and who is not. I loved his way to mix the mystery and horror in an adventure game, I was scary walking the house corridors, scary in an retro-pixel-look adventure game, that's was new for me.
This two games where mixed with a game for Android, some kind of "Zelda I" tribute called "The legend of Pico Hero", a small 8bit RPG style game. I surprised myself playing a lot of time and showing to my friends how easy was control and have fun with a simple mechanics.
Why not a 8bit survival horror for android? So I downloaded a pixel-draw-something on my tablet and started to make some character sketches...
Then a French programmer down from the sky in a brightest light ever, like the "Espiritu Santo" of El Greco, blessing my thoughts and with two baguettes behind his arms doing the cross symbol. That's was coooooool.

BOISE — The value of Idaho agricultural exports set a record for the fourth straight year in 2014 and exceeded the $1 billion mark for the first time.
That happened despite a significant slowdown in dairy exports during the second half of the year. Dairy sales account for a third of all Idaho ag exports.
The stronger U.S. dollar and West Coast port disruptions also affected Idaho ag exports, said Laura Johnson, who manages the Idaho State Department of Agriculture's market development Division, which released the export data.
Despite those factors, Idaho ag exports in 2014 totaled $1.02 billion, a 4.3 percent increase over the 2013 total.
Idaho dairy exports reached a record $353 million in 2014 but slowed significantly during the latter part of the year.
According to the U.S. Dairy Export Council, the total value of U.S. dairy exports increased 6 percent in 2014 to a record $7.1 billion.
But U.S. dairy export volume declined 8 percent in the fourth quarter compared with the same period in 2013 and U.S. dairy exports by volume finished the year with five straight months of negative performance compared with 2013.
USDEC Vice President of Communications Alan Levitt told the Capital Press in an email that U.S. dairy exports in 2015 are expected to be below 2014 levels due to more challenging world conditions.
Cheese exports are expected to be down 5 to 10 percent, he said, butter could be down by as much as 60 to 70 percent and whey and lactose are expected to be flat.
The world market is softer this year because of heavy supply from Europe and New Zealand and decreased demand from China and Russia, Levitt said.
"As a result, world prices are much lower this year, which creates more competitive pressure for the United States," he said.
Miscellaneous grain and seed was Idaho's No. 2 ag export category in 2014 with $135 million in sales, a 5.7 percent increase over 2013. That category was led by vegetable seed sales of $44 million, rapeseed at $36 million and alfalfa seed at $13 million.
Idaho vegetable exports totaled $130 million, 3 percent more than the 2013 total. That category was led by kidney bean sales of $22.7 million and green pea sales of $22.2 million.
The totals are based on Census Bureau data calculated for the ISDA by Global Trade Information Services. The data, which is released quarterly, is based on the zip code of the exporter of record and doesn't capture a lot of Idaho farm products, such as wheat, that are shipped to other states before being exported abroad.
A different set of data by the USDA's Economic Research Service that is released annually analyzes the same Census Bureau data and attempts to overcome the issue of other states getting credit for Idaho products, Johnson said.
The USDA total is higher, she said, but is more than a year behind and doesn't include country of destination or detailed product categories like the GTIS data does.

The San Luis Obispo International Film Festival is very excited to announce their 20th Anniversary King Vidor Award recipient: Academy Award®-winning actor, Jeff Bridges! Former King Vidor Award recipient, James Cromwell will present the award, followed by a conversation with Jeff Bridges, and a screening of one of his films (title TBA.)
One of Hollywood's most successful actors and a six-time Academy Award® nominee, Bridges' performance in "Crazy Heart"—as Bad Blake, the down-on-his-luck, alcoholic country music singer —deservedly garnered the iconic performer his first Oscar® for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role. The performance also earned him the Golden Globe, SAG Award and the IFP/Spirit Award for Lead Actor.
He earned his first Oscar® nod in 1971 for Best Supporting Actor in Peter Bogdanovich's "The Last Picture Show," co-starring Cybill Shepherd and Timothy Bottoms. Three years later, he received his second Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role in Michael Cimino's "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot." By 1984 he landed top kudos with a Best Actor nomination for "Starman"; that performance also earned him a Golden Globe nomination. In 2001, he was honored with another Golden Globe nomination and his fourth Oscar® nomination for his role in "The Contender," Rod Lurie's political thriller, co-starring Gary Oldman and Joan Allen, in which Bridges played the President of the United States.
In December 2010 his reunion with the Coen Brothers in the critically acclaimed western "True Grit" landed him his sixth Oscar® nomination. His list of credits is long and impressive! He recently wrapped production on "The Giver" opposite Meryl Streep, based on the children's novel by Lois Lowry. The film has been a passion project for more than a decade and he is serving as a producer.
In his "spare time", Bridges plays with his band The Abiders and has played in San Luis Obispo several times in the past couple of years to enthusiastic audiences at SLO Brewing Co. and the Fremont Theatre. He is also a very talented photographer, artist and an inspiring humanitarian. He is currently the national spokesman for the Share Our Strength/No Kid Hungry campaign that is fighting to end childhood hunger in America by 2015. A portion of the proceeds of this event will be donated to this charity in his honor.

Marching with the Moon
The moon highlights some of winter's best sights this week
The waxing moon brightens our evenings, reaching first-quarter Saturday when it joins the inconspicuous stars of Aries in the southern sky. Three stars outline the ram's head: Hamal, the brightest, Sheratan and Mesarthim, the dimmest. Viewed through binoculars, which will help you spot these dim stars amid the moon's glare, all three fit within the same field of view. Millennia ago, the sun passed through Aries at vernal equinox, which explains why such an obscure-shaped asterism became a major zodiacal constellation. Now, the sun is in the constellation Pisces when it hovers above the equator on March 21.
Sunday the moon shines just a few degrees west of the stars of the Pleiades cluster, which marks the shoulder of Taurus the bull. The next evening the moon appears east of the Pleiades. Without the moon's added light, you can typically spot six of the mythological seven sisters of this cluster, but armed with binoculars you'll see far more stars.
Monday the moon hovers above the red-giant Aldebaran, the eye of Taurus the bull. Trailing the Pleiades, Aldebaran is the 13th brightest star, its name Arabic for the follower. It sits within the Hyades cluster, a circle of stars that make up the bull's face, but it is not part of the actual cluster, which is twice as far away at 150 light years.
By Wednesday, the moon shines near the center of the Great Winter Circle. Made up of Aldebaran, Orion's Rigel, Canis Major's Sirius, Canis Minor's Procyon, Gemini's Castor and Pollux and Auriga's Capella, this grouping contains seven of the 25 brightest stars. Add in the red-giant Betelgeuse, marking Orion's shoulder, and you have eight.
Early risers may notice the glow of Mercury low in the southeast about an hour before sunrise, a little after 7:15 this week.

Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Recording engineered by Mike Gentry
Some people, we're always disappointed to find out, are very easy to understand. They can be mapped within minutes of having met them. Oh, sure, they might have a quirky hobby, interest or two that we couldn't possibly know about just then, but these small potatoes wouldn't do anything to shatter the review or the conclusion that we've already made up. They can be sussed out in a pinch and it leaves us nothing further to ever find. We feel a great sense of despair when this happens and we often are repulsed. We recoil and slink away as if we've just touched or stepped in something we shouldn't have. We're gone. Then there are the people who are less than apparent (and we try to mimic them to the best of our abilities, so as not to fall into the ranks of the latter, which we've already unhappily discussed), whom we are mesmerized by, taken aback by. They leave us with only fragments of ideas or such muddy waters that we cannot help ourselves. We keep coming back to their banks, time and again, to stare into that thick, murky water, just hoping to see something make it to the surface, anything that we can make out as a familiar sight or idea - the flopping, flapping back and fin of a fish or grin that means something other than happiness, for instance. We value their mystery and when they turn out to be songwriters - like Tom Waits or Bob Dylan or Joni Mitchell - and we're able to do our best to read into their words to try our damnedest to comprehend the littler pictures within their sometimes veiled bigger picture, all the better. The best songwriters are those who take the unapparent and still leave you with enough of the riddle to always want to come back for subsequent visits. It gives you all but a few of the dots to connect and those missing dots present great leaps that a thinker, someone digesting the messages and meanings, must take.
Neil Haverty and the rest of his Bruce Peninsula crew are lovers of these missions, ones that leave us fulfilled, but just as foggy after a good sitting with them. The songs that this band writes are a long way from solvable and they force you to call on the skill set you would bring with you into battle with William Faulkner or "Blonde On Blonde," and they test you in beautifully strange ways. Haverty, who over recent months has been battling a beatable form of leukemia, must be learning some new things about himself that he never knew where there and - though he could have most definitely done without having to be death-defying to have seen them come to light - this must thrill him as much as anything, to see new factors of himself. The songs played on this session are intense discovery pieces, powerful little films of people in compromised situations, where there are hundreds of doors they can choose to walk through and none looks any better than the others. Lines like, "Damn your love, damn your lies," and, "Temperatures run wild at terrible times," are examples of the kinds of situations that we're dealing with here, where everyone is vaguely aware of who they're dealing with, but no where closer to a final synopsis. Haverty offers what comes across as a fictional autobiography in "Shanty Song," when he sings, "Oh I come from a line of crooks/Of bitter and brittle men/So I won't be around when those wedding bells ring/But I'm mean and marked up enough/To give you my hands with none of my roots showing/So leave me with a little privacy/Don't call, don't you come around at all/Leave me a little decency/And call off all your dogs/Or the collars are coming off," but one gets a feeling that nothing's ever too fictional here, not if it's uttered. And yet, who's to know?

Sapphire Radeon HD6670 Review
Power Consumption of the system will be measured in both idle states and loaded states and will take into account the peak voltage of the system with each video card installed. I will use MSI Kombuster to load the GPU for a 15 minute test and use the peak load of the system as my result for the maximum load. The idle results will be measured after 15 minutes of inactivity on the system. For load testing the GTX 500 series, I will once again use Crysis Warhead run at 2560 x 1600 using the Gamer setting with 8xAA looping the Avalanche benchmark scenario.
- MSI Kombuster Stability test
- 1920 x 1200 Resolution
- 15 minute load test
- 15 minute idle test
- Measurement is in Watts
Lower = Better
During the idle testing, the Sapphire HD6670 was once again right in the middle of the other cards, while during the overclocked testing, it fell down toward the end of the pack, meaning it was using the least amount of power out of the other cards — the only card that was lower in power was the HD6790.

Remember when that cobra escaped from the New York Zoo and within hours he already had a twitter account?
Well now a new critter has popped up on Twitter – Justin Bieber's pet cat Spaz.
Yup, now you can get the inside scoop from the teen singing sensations cat himself – uh, we assume Spaz is a male…
Last week at an interview somebody asked Greyson what he thought about all this social media hype and he had the following comments,
"I think it's great, I mean it gives an artist a way to speak directly to their fans in real time. But it can be a problem sometimes because I think some of my fans expect me to tweet something or update my Facebook all day long and sometimes I just can't get away to do it."
When asked about the good stuff versus the bad stuff he sees he said,
"Yea, there is a lot of crazy stuff that people tweet me. Some of it is hate but you have to just ignore that because you don't know them and they really don't know me well enough to say some of those things. But there are a lot of bullies and haters out there!"
When asked about the New York cobra and Justin's cat he thought it was funny, but also a great way to keep the fans entertained and interested in your world.
"I've seen some of the Justin's Cat tweets and they are pretty funny. I don't know who it is but it must be somebody fairly close to his inner circle because they know things that not a lot of people would now. The cobra tweets were funny when it first happened but know it's kind of old news I think."
Greyson is a master of his own social media domain with over 72 million views on his YouTube channel and almost 1 million Facebook fans.
He must be doing something right because he has over 750,000 followers.
And just for the record, you can follow Justin's cat on Twitter at @Justins_Cat
