apple computer proposed campus
Apple's proposed campus
Looks like Steve's not done yet. This weekend, on the way to the Apple store for cpu repair, I enjoyed hearing Steve sharing his new campus vision with the Cupertino council. If he pulls it off, it may just be the largest, and most amazing, and most beautiful, and maybe even greenest (as in sustainable) office building in the world.
The plan will be to house 13,000 employees in one building. This is in addition to their nearby existing complex at one infinite loop (which is where we mailed montly checks way back when we were in the computer business).
Parking undergound, only using the grid as backup power (so cool), and he hired Stanford's top arborist to plan all the green spaces at Apple's proposed campus.
Steve just isn't looking so good lately. I hope he's able to hang around long enough to see this one. - Me too!

This film has a few scenes that might be intense for the very very young viewer.
The big flood is coming and the animals are gathering to board the Ark. Dave and his son Finny have made the trip, but they are not on the list! Dave makes a plan and joins the others. Finny meets Leah and they explore the boat together, but the two of them are left behind while exploring the scaffolding outside!
These two know they have to get to higher ground. Leah, being a loner species, has to learn what friendship and teamwork is. Along the way they meet two more species who were also left behind. Meanwhile, Finny's dad and Lea's mom also learn to work together to find their children.
This is a charming story of relationships, fitting in, forgiveness, teamwork, and caring about others even if they are different. Sometimes things are not always as they seem, and with love anything is possible. A lovable cute movie that the entire family can enjoy.

Chehalis man convicted for trying to defraud Ponzi scheme victims
A Chehalis man was convicted of nine federal felony charges Wednesday in U.S. District Court of Western Washington in Seattle, all stemming from an attempt to bamboozle Ponzi scheme victims.
Records indicate Kevin W. Williams, 45, hatched a plan in 2007 to pose as a fraud investigator looking into a $90 million Ponzi scheme based in Atlanta, GA. His step-mother was a victim of the scheme.
The out-of-work logger sought out victims and attorneys attempting to sell them bogus information only he had about where the assets were located. No one was convinced.
Williams with the help of a friend blew up his own mailbox with a homemade bomb, according to court records, and the two reported the crime to the Lewis County Sheriff's Office.
All of these efforts were in an attempt to prove he had legitimate information and wasn't trying to deceive the victims.
Alas, no one bought what Williams was selling even after he nuked his mailbox. Records show that Williams then sent threatening e-mails to get him to pay for information. No one paid.
Williams traveled to Atlanta where the trial was being held in a last-ditch effort to collect money in April 2008. He was arrested by police shortly after his arrival with guns, ammunition and explosive components in his car.
It was after Williams' arrest that a cohort admitted to law enforcement that the two had lied to police about the mailbox bomb.
Williams was convicted on all of the counts he was facing: three counts of wire fraud, extortion, possession of a firearm without a serial number, destruction of a letter box, two counts of possession of an unregistered firearm (pipe bomb and zip gun) and making a false official statement.
He faces up to 20 years in prison. Williams' sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 23.

I went to Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church's service day at Haywood St. Congregation on Saturday. I never go to those days because I know there will be too much stimulation for me. When I'm cognitively overloaded, I become sluggish, irritable and unable to think. This time, there was a job where folks could pack meals which seemed like something I could do. I arrived at 9 AM for that's when the schedule said the packing would begin.
Actually, I arrived at 9:10 and by the then, the parking lot was filled. It took a few minutes to locate overflow parking. I drove by it and had to stop to ask a passing pedestrian for directions to the lot. He didn't know so I drove back to the church to ask. I was then told I could park right across the street.
Dealing with directions always weakens me so I didn't start out fresh but decided to press on. I figured I would walk right in and begin work. No such luck. We weren't supposed to start until 10. I knew I had limited cognitive energy which I didn't want to spend talking to folks in a noisy room for 45 minutes so I looked around for something else to do. I worked in the garden but of course I hadn't brought any garden tools so I had to spend time finding some. I started weeding and it began to rain.
I left my ear plugs in the car, my mistake for I always bring them, so I couldn't do my "rest my brain" routine. I went to the packing room and the leader had already begun his spiel. He told stories about folks needing food and how these packets would be used. Everyone stood around the tables listening but I found a chair and closed my eyes. I could at least block out visual stimulation. Finally, we started but he played loud upbeat music to energize folks and make it fun but it was too much for me. I stayed as long as I could but at 10:40 I had to leave. I don't fault the leader for his words were important and playing loud music works for most people in that environment.
When I got to the car, I put in my ear plugs for a while and when I returned home, I sat on the couch with my ear plugs in for 1 ½ – 2hours resting my brain. I always plan ahead for events but many times this isn't possible.
The next morning, church went the same way. I ended up having to be in several places where folks chattered. I left the room when I could but on Sunday, the church doesn't have many quiet places where I can go to get away from the stimulation.
When I have days like that in a row, I am wiped out. I've learned to relax for the next few days in order to let my brain recover. If I don't, it only gets worse. For me, overstimulation is the most challenging aspect of TBI and it seems I'm in these situations often. In the past, I've stopped participating in things, but I got bored and felt as if I wasn't using my gifts.
Now, I monitor what I do and rest if I need to. It means skipping things as I did on Saturday afternoon. Folks may not understand and might think I'm lazy but for me, this is required. I've mostly stopped worrying what people think! Notice I wrote "mostly."

Global 50,000 Chants Campaign Launched for ISKCON 50
The innovative sankirtan outreach project Fortunate People is inviting devotees to post videos of themselves and newcomers chanting the Hare Krishna mantra to its website fortunate-people.com, with an aim to gather 50,000 chants for ISKCON's 50th anniversary.
Fortunate People is a UK-based project that allows distributors of Prabhupada's books to keep in touch with people they've met on the street.
"We ask them to "Like" the Fortunate People Facebook page on their smartphones on the spot," says book distributor and project manager Shaktyavesha Avatar Das. "Then we stay connected with them and share Krishna conscious culture with them through Facebook. The page has grown from 100 followers to nearly 5,000 today."
During the December 2015 Prabhupada marathon, Fortunate People took things to the next level by filming those who just received a book chanting the Hare Krishna mantra for the first time. The videos are then uploaded to Facebook, where they've gone viral – the last one received 20,000 views, 1,000 likes and was shared more than 600 times in one day.
Now Fortunate People has launched its 50K Chants Campaign for ISKCON's 50th anniversary. The campaign was presented at the International Leadership Sanga in Mayapur recently, where it was enthusiastically received by an audience of some 600 devotees including ISKCON leaders. It is now being officially promoted by the ISKCON 50 Committee.

ISKCON 50 Meditations: March 9, 2016
Prabhupada is always the instructor for his disciples. There is usually an edge of chiding in his voice, but it is still gentle and loving. Of the disciple, Srila Prabhupada writes: "… A disciple cannot disobey the order of his spiritual master, that is the relationship between the disciple and his master." He gives the example of Arjuna who surrendered to Krishna "without any vanity regarding his own erudition, and without any reservation." If you relax your defenses and allow him to instruct you, even in how to fold a cadar, then your relationship will be smooth. You will not become aggravated and neither will he become displeased; you will quickly learn how to do things his way. The spiritual master is to train you to be expert in spiritual activities, including the details of how to fold a cadar. As soon as you resist, thinking you know how to do something, or that he is too demanding, then there will be trouble.
Prabhupada wants us to understand the difference between the temporary, material world and the eternal, blissful world of Goloka Vrindavana. This is the life-work that Prabhupada wants from us, to somehow fill our minds with more and more Krishna and less and less maya. And Prabhupada is with us in our attempts to hear about Krishna. It is the basis of our relationship with him.

The suit was filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by Kerron Polk, a Black man from Yeadon, Pennsylvania who says he was called a "nigger" and told to "sit in the back of the [company] van" by coworkers.
According to the complaint, when Polk complained to the owner of the company, he told him to shut up, called him a nobody and fired him.
Kerron Polk began working at Winner Airport Valet Parking in Philadelphia in 2013 as a driver, and shortly after starting, he says he heard multiple co-workers repeatedly using the work "nigger" in reference to Black customers and co-workers. According to to the complaint, he took his concerns to a supervisor.
Shortly thereafter, one of the offenders was let go, but Polk says he is not sure it was due to his complaint, as he believes the other employees were not disciplined. Shortly afterwards, one of the offenders turned his racial hostility towards Polk, telling him to sit in the back of the company van and threatening to get him fired, the complaint alleges.
The hostility continued, and Polk continued to complain to supervisors, but nothing was done, and the treatment worsened. According to the complaint, Polk was no longer being put on the work schedule starting in March of 2014.
Polk called the owner of the company, Peter Carrea, in order to express his frustration. Carrea told him hat he respected the offender more then Polk, berated Polk and then fired him, according to the complaint.
Polk now sues Winner Airport Valet Parking and Carrea on four counts, alleging two violations each of the Civil Rights act and Pennsylvania's human relations act. The suit was filed on his behalf by attorney Joseph F. Schwartz of the law firm Silver & Silver.
Carrea did not return a call requesting comment.
"[Polk] has suffered great humiliation, embarrassment, severe mental anguish, anxiety, depression, severe emotional and psychological distress, discomfort, injury, pain, and suffering," the complaint states. "[He] has been damaged in entering into further employment relationships, has suffered a loss of earnings and employment benefits and a severely diminished earning capacity, and many continue to suffer such losses in the future," it continues.
Polk seeks front and back pay in lieu of reinstatement.

Don't wait for the Budget to Stimulate Growth
It's a big week for the Chancellor, George Osbourne, next week. It's a big week for those of us waiting to see what ideas he comes up with in Thursday's budget to put the nation's finances to rights too. With the UK's triple A credit rating now lost, a triple dip recession widely acknowledged and the latest figures for both manufacturing and construction showing further contraction of both sectors, the pressure is on Mr Osbourne to find new ways to stimulate business. It seems unlikely that the Government will abandon or even ease its austerity policies, and finding ways to grow while cutting back is an unenviable task. After all, 'speculate to accumulate' is one of the basic tenets of commerce. However, hard times call for creative thinking and, for businesses aiming to achieve growth despite the harsh economic climate, a clear focus on tangible deliverables is key to success.
Just like Mr Osbourne, many businesses find themselves with less capital to play with than they would like, an ongoing issue with increased overheads and reduced revenue streams. There's no doubt about it, market conditions are tough. However, there are customers, projects and contracts out there – the challenge is identifying them, winning them and holding on to them.
Here's our five point guide to stimulating growth in hard times:
- Target customers with growth potential and focus clearly on winning and keeping them: remember, an existing customer is much more valuable than a prospect so finding ways to up-sell or cross-sell to your current customer base could deliver greater rewards for less effort than courting new customers
- Differentiate: in a market where sales are difficult to come by standing out in the competitive landscape is essential if you're going to maximize your piece of the available pie.
- Cut overheads carefully: If the caliber of your sales people is critical to your sales success make sure you hold on to talented, motivated people
- Be strategic, align all business functions, including marketing, to your strategic goals and ensure that all personnel are engaged in achieving them
- Leverage all relevant sales and marketing channels: if your customer base expects to transact online, upgrade your website; if you've won an impressive new contract make sure your market knows about it through PR, newsletters, social media etc
This time next week, the media will still be picking over the bones of the budget with their centre page spreads of winners and losers. In the business world, the winners are those who are realistic about the challenges they face and creative about overcoming them.

Roofs, tacos, music, pals
i got infected with three things last week: some virus that set my throat on fire and set me into immediate necessary hibernation; a new way of dreaming, where the dreams last several days without dis and optimism.
hibernation was good, mixed in with the optimism i think came from tumeric, i got to watch people die on the small screen, got to watch the pope smoke ciggies and put his hand on a lady's breast and hang up nuns' socks on a washing line in the sun (fyi i don't care about the pope, don't believe in that set of things, for the people who occasionally mock me behind my back about being 'religious' having never spoken to me - i forgive you)
the optimism was floating by along with all the plastic bags in the fremantle harbour. it was protecting me as i dic *nothing* for a week in bed. it was slinking around and all that. maybe strutting.
it was flying its little red and blue flag high when i bumped into patrick marlborough at a coffee place. he writes for vice, but now he's teaching refugees and rough kids english skills at a local place in freo. how long will it last though? for some of us even the meaningful 9-5 can't satisfy some thing in us and we have to get out. "most jobs are a crock of shit" i said, and he agreed. we talked about what 'people like us' can do in 2017 in australia, where so much is set up in a way that just can't go on. some of my straight friends, straight as in ex-churchy friends, as in spiritual friends, have found ways to do incredible things through normal 9-5 jobs, really changing the world through teaching or occupational therapy or becoming foster parents or getting married at 19 and being "intentional" with their money and how they set up their share house, or buying property that recently arrived refugee families can live in. patrick told me that the way things are tries to crush culture, and that's the thing we can do - make more culture.
right now, i think about andrew from taco leg - past perth band who played such shows as the infamous marron descent film festival - playing in the concrete box of the old spectrum gallery, singing into a hairbrush. is that culture? is what i'm doing?
i guess the thing that's coming home to roost more for me now is the spectre of myself or my own family or friends being blown up. i guess somehow you get through those things. new world orders come and go, it just takes a while, but typically for me to say, it takes less time than for a tingle tree in walpole to reach maturity. i know a shittonne of kind people. i think there's just one thing missing though for kind people who live on the top of the world: bravery.
we could wait til we're made brave, by real adversity, or we could become brave now, while we have roofs, food, music, pals.

Blood and Feathers by Lou Morgan – Review
With Blood and Feathers, Lou Morgan has delivered a witty debut novel that not only entertains but manages deftly to explore the nature of good and evil along the way. It follows Alice, who comes home one day to find herself unexpectedly mixed up with a bunch of angels—that's right, the guys with wings who fight Lucifer and his band of fallen, most vividly portrayed, methinks, by Gustave Doré. But, unlike Doré's classic representations, these angels don't wear white flowing robes and blow long thin trumpets. They wear hoodies (some of them, anyway; some wear suits and ties, others jeans), drink from hip-flasks, and wield guns. Kind of like Milton meets The Matrix, with a bit of Dante thrown in for good measure.
Alice is related to this angelic host in ways she never imagined, and spends much of her time in hiding being slowly drip-fed information about who her long-lost mother was, who she herself is, and what powers she has. (I won't say anything about those powers other than that, even though they're basic, they're pretty damn cool.) Not much happens otherwise in the first half of the book, except for a few close escapes from Lucifer's soldiers, so it can feel at times like the story isn't going anywhere too quickly. But the info Alice gets is info we as readers want (and it's mesmerizing stuff, to boot), so the pages rarely feel heavy. They turn rapidly enough to keep you going, especially since Morgan has given her main character such a healthy dose of smart-ass that the dialogue fizzles with wit.
The last half of the novel is where the real action takes place. I wish Doré were alive today, because I'd love to see his depictions of the battle of angels Morgan has crafted. (Perhaps a graphic novel might be forthcoming?) Here, also, is where our loyalties begin to waver. What's going on, and who does Alice side with? As I said earlier, Morgan manages to explore the fine line between the bad good guy and the good bad guy, and we're not left with any easy answers at the novel's conclusion. I'd want neither Lucifer nor the Archangel Michael as my manager, so to speak. And I don't think Alice would, either. Problem is, she's stuck with these guys.
If I had any reservation, it was that, in a novel that demands we accept angels and Lucifer as real, no attempt is made to show how that reality relates to the likes of Hinduism, Buddhism, Norse mythology, or any other religion or myth cycle outside Christianity. For a while, it seemed there was some suggestion of a connection with Ancient Greece, in that an entity named Charon inhabits Hell. But I was left confused by this minor character, as all the other names, such as Xaphan and A'lbiel, refer to the standard Judeo-Christian angels. Since Morgan does such a skilled job of having all her characters dance the line between good and evil, I'm convinced she could have handled placing this paradigm in the context of World Religion as a whole also.
But this is a minor point, one that probably bothers me only, and which does nothing to detract from a story containing humor, excitement, action and wonder. I see that the sequel, Rebellion, is out in July. I look forward to it. Watch for its review on this site.

Jenny Bolton Boost Your Bust Book
Jenny Bolton Boost Your Bust Book Review
Breasts play an incredible part of physical attraction for women.
Size does matter a lot, not only to men but also to women by making them more confident.
There are many ways to achieve this but Boost Your Bust Book by Jenny Bolton is one of the programs that have taken the web by storm. Women are now able to feel whole again after increasing their breast size naturally in just weeks.
==>>Click Here To Download Boost Your Bust Book
It is a beautifully laid out program and thoroughly researched. Researches done over the years have clearly indicated that breast size really matters. Women with small breasts occasionally feel limited when it comes to dressing. The fashion industry and the beauty sector have also laid a lot of fact regarding size matters making women long to have fuller and larger busts.
Why Boost Your Bust Program
Boost Your Bust is no ordinary program. This is a breast enhancing program that was written by Jenny Bolton after many years of research and studies. Jenny Bolton's program uses neither surgery nor any methods that will cause pain or side-effects to the breasts and to the health of the user. It is simple, precise and to the point. Not to mention, very easy to use program too. Jenny has made this possible by creating a product that uses only natural methods. She uses natural products that are rarely used by other writers when it comes to breast enhancing.
Does Boost Your Bust Work?
Boost Your Bust is an eBook that is easy to read and carry around. Without beating around the bush and telling you BS, the author has kept the focus on the subject with 107 pages of power packed information.
The author has amazingly made it possible for most women to increase their breasts from size A to C from the comfort of their homes. Most women prefer this program because it does give them the chance to do so privately without exposing their breasts to other people. Even today, women consider a lot of privacy when it comes to breasts and would not want at any time to expose it unnecessary to the outside world unless otherwise.
And best part of all, it is a lot more affordable than other methods of breast enlargement out there! You're also entitled to a 60 days money back guarantee!
Now, do you get such deals with surgeries, and other enhancing products? Only this program gives you these exclusive advantages!

How To Make Your Breast Bigger
According to research done and, in which Jenny also confirms further, diet is a great source when it comes to breast enhancing. Estrogen levels must be controlled for one to be able to have the size they have longed for. Most women even in their childhood are able to have a clear view of the body they long to have including the right breast size. When this is not forthcoming their self-esteem is normally eroded and they feed not capable enough like the other fully breasted women they both see in movies and magazines. The print media interestingly has increased women's desire when it comes to the right bust size.
Enlarge Breast Naturally
Boost Your Bust is currently the only program in the market that gives women the chance to do so naturally without creams that don't work or come with horrifying results with side-effects. Breast implants are great at the beginning but come with a huge cost and great side effects in later years. Why go for such when you can do so easily, affordable and keep your new breast size for life. Implants on most occasions have been known to react badly on some people. Some products or drugs, if not used rightly, have given users two different sizes of breast to their horror! Also, men prefer women with natural breasts than implants!
Boost Your Bust was written by a woman who had breast size issue earlier. As per interaction with people around her, she felt that size A cup was more of a flat chest. In her struggle to enlarge her breasts to look like others, she came with an incredible program that has caused great smiles on many women faces. Jenny speaks of the great relief she got when her size increased and the many stares she got with her cleavage; and it has brought attention to those around her. The transformation was so great that she decided to share the secret with others who found themselves having the same issue.
Is Boost Your Bust a Scam?
Jenny's Boost Your Bust might seem too good to be true, but if you wish to know how many women have greatly benefitted; take time and read the amazing reviews of those whose lives have been changed forever. They gained confidence and are back on their feet again with her help. To be able to increase your breast size by a whole 2 cups is not a small feat and those who have managed to do so have nothing but praise for the author and her incredible research. Nothing, according to them, would have come at a better time. Men who never bothered to give them a second chance now want to be by their sides forever, how incredible and how great such a small thing can change people's lives and increase their confidence. Thanks to Jenny and her awesome program.

60 Days 100% Money Back Guarantee
Women over the years have used various means for Breast Enlargement but nothing has come close and candid like Boost Your Bust. The program is quite affordable and only costs $37. What more could one ask for than getting 2 cups larger for a mere $37? You could ask for more! Why go under the scalp and live with ugly scars for life when you can do so naturally and still retain your breasts as at birth. Make the choice and be the woman you have all along desired to be, don't wait take the chance when it is still affordable and within your reach.
Boost Your Bust is a great natural breast enlargement program that includes exercise, diet and massage to enhance the hormones for natural growth. Not many people, even knowingly, would be willing to give you such information. If you have been stuck with small breasts and are looking for the solution – this is the answer! Take the leap and give men a chance to ogle each time you pass by. Be admired, be envied! Don't feel cowed, the decision to make the change lies in your hands and you can do so now!

Regardless to what you say to people, they still want to start with C++. In looking around recently for beginners resources in C++, I noticed many of these tutorials are brutally out of date and simply put, many of them are crap.
That's why I took a bit of a detour from the main purpose of Game From Scratch, to um… make a Game From Scratch in C++. I am currently 5 "chapters" in, with code for 2 more already written. I will keep updating constantly.
So, if you are a beginner and insist on starting with C++, I suggest you start here. We are nowhere near the level of a finished game yet, but I believe there is enough there to help people get started. Of course, eventually it will be a complete game. To the non-beginners, I am new to SFML and my language of choice has been C# for a number of years, so if you see a mistake, let me know and I will address it!
You may have noticed many times on my blog that I am not the biggest fan of C++. I hands down believe that it is one of the dumbest languages a user could learn with. A good majority of programmers should never be exposed to C++ and should be happy if fate affords them such a luxury. I also think a lot of C++'s use in game programming is as much a matter of traction as any other logical reason. So why the hell do I talk about it so much?
Well one of the reasons is because so many (new) developers give a lot of other new developers the horrid advice that they should start with C++ that you need to actively educate people why this is a mistake. However, there is another reason for C++'s coverage… it is important and it's importance is on the rise. Amazingly that rise in popularity has nothing to do with (specifically) game development!
Therefore, if you want to write portable code that runs across most of the mobile phones on the market today, C++ is your go to language. Operating in a resource constrained environment is exactly where C++'s strengths come into play. Unfortunately you are going to end up doing some device specific code in whatever the native language is, but on all devices this amount of native code is getting smaller in size. For the most part you can make 99% portable C++ code, something you can't currently do for smartphones in Java, C# or ObjectiveC.
That said, if you are willing to spend money, you can use C# across platforms in the form of Unity or Monotouch/Monodroid but that requires additional expense. Besides, I recently took a look at Monodroid and I simply cannot imagine how anybody is using that platform for production code, at least on Windows the developer experience was frankly atrocious. If I was doing a cross platform 3D game ( that I expected would make at least 400$ ) I would be ( and am ) using Unity, but I can understand why you would choose otherwise, especially if you were working on a 2D project.
If you are a new developer, I still recommend you stay the hell away from C++. I just wanted to make it clear C++ has it's uses and in my opinion is only going to get more popular, a comment I would have never expected to have made just a few years ago! As I have said many times C++ is just another programming tool and sometimes that tool is the most appropriate one for the job.
Given it's justified rise in popularity among indy developers, combined with the fact that beginning programmers are going to ignore my advice and start with C++ anyways, I am going to introduce a bit more C++ specific content on this site. The C++ of today is much different than the C++ of 1983, yet unfortunately a great volume of the information on the internet doesn't reflect this fact. I hope to address that to the best of my (meager) ability.

In putting together content for this site, I find myself working in Visual C++ which presented an unintended consequence, the project folder's files are big, huge in fact! Most of the problem boils down to the intermediate files that Visual C++ generates for intellisense and pre-compiled headers.
Therefore each time I wanted to post a code example to this site, I had to go through and delete all of these temporary files or my archives would be huge. Worse still, every time I open up the solution, they would be regenerated. ( Yes, you can move these files outside of your folder as a possible work around ). I figured with the whole me being a programmer thing, I could throw together a program that did this work for me.
Therefore I present to you ProjectCleaner. Aim it at a folder containing your project or sln file click "Clean Project" and it will go through and delete all the temporary cruft ready for you to zip up and share. For the record, it deletes log, tlog, pch, pdb and obj files as well as the ipch folder.
Here are the results after applying to a relatively simple project folder:
As you can see, it results in a 37MB reduction in size, which saves more than just a small bit of bandwidth.
So, if you are finding yourself needing to shrink your Visual C++ projects down to share them, this tool may prove useful. The source is exceedingly primitive. It's written in C#, requires .NET 4.
CleanProject.zip -- program executable
CleanProjectSource.zip -- source code
I am currently working on a beginner level tutorial using SFML and just ran into a show stopper that I want to share. If you are already using SFML 1.6, this is probably old news to you, but it caused me enough pain that I want to share it here. Maybe someone in the future will find this on Google and they wont end up wasting a couple hours like I just did.
Anyways, I was developing away at my game and doing most of my work on my portable laptop, which has an integrated Intel chipset. On occasion I did a little bit of work on my primary development laptop which has a higher end Radeon GPU and everything works fine. Anyways, earlier this week Deus Ex: Human Revolution came out and PC gaming being what it is, I had to download and install the latest drivers. Fast forward to today, I load up the project make a few changes and:
Completely hung. Zero response whatsoever. If I run the same application outside of Visual Studio, it requires me to kill it in Task Manager.
So I jump to the logical conclusion and figure it was something I changed recently in my code, so I start hacking and slashing out the changes until I am back to nothing. Still hangs. WTF? Now I start hacking even more until the point I get to my main() consisting of a single return statement and still it hangs! WTF x2? Obviously at this point it's a linker problem, and my lost likely culprit is SFML, so off to Google I go!
End result, yes, the dynamically linked version of SFML apparently has a bug with the OpenGL implementation of modern ATI drivers. Yay. Apparently it is only in the dynamic version of SFML, so you can switch to static linking and it will go away, but when writing a tutorial, this kind of added complication simply isn't realistic. That said, there is a work around and there is a fix... of sorts.
Apparently the problem is caused in atigktxx.dll and you can grab a copy that works here ( along with additional explanation ). I haven't an actual clue what the bug itself is ( it's wayyyyyy outside my code ), but by including this copy of atigktxx.dll in your executable folder, it overrides loading the one that is installed on your machine, thus preventing the bug.
Oh, and although that post was in February and the fix is "coming soon", the problem still occurs. I do however believe this is fixed in the 2.0 version of SFML, but please don't quote me on that!
So, long story short, if you are using SFML 1.6 and you want to support ATI cards with recent drivers, ship your game with atigktxx.dll in your executable directory.
Oh and moral of the story… don't always go blaming your code first! I kow have a ton of damage to undo that I needlessly caused! Moral number two… ATI still suck at making drivers!
SFML Bug
When just starting out with Blender, figuring your way around the UI is probably the most difficult step. One of the most difficult things to come to terms with is creating and closing windows. This is something that changed massively from Blender 2.4 to 2.5, so a lot of the documentation out there is simply out dated.
This video shows you how to arrange Blender exactly how you want it. Once you figure out the way things work, it is amazingly power, but it can be confusing at first. The video is of Blender 2.59 and is shot at 1080p for maximum clarity.

PoPoLoCrois populating PSPs
Japanese role-playing game completes long journey to US shores; anime-style adventure now on Sony's portable.
The PSP has been called the "must-have" portable gadget for months now, but try telling that to hardcore fans of role-playing games. The handheld has been noticeably lacking old-school RPGs, with most of the games that focus on experience points and exploration cluttered with button-mashing action.
Gamers who prefer to strategically push the attack button instead of wildly tapping the attack button have reason to get their thumbs ready. Agetec today announced that PoPoLoCrois is now available for the PSP. The turn-based RPG was released in Japan earlier this year and developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan.
In PoPoLoCrois, players lead Prince Pietro on a quest to save his mother and kingdom from the clutches of the Ice Demon. He'll come up across all types of foes, from low-level hostile vegetation to high-level dragons. The game features a handy zoom feature, a quicksave option for gaming on the go, and more than 30 hours of gameplay.
PoPoLoCrois is rated E for Everyone and retails for $39.99. For more information on the game, check back with GameSpot later this week for a review.

..as Magapatona ward residents demand to be recognised as a village
Residents of Magapatona Ward in Tutume village, Edmont Bagaketse Moabi and 340 others have taken the government to court demanding that their ward be elevated to a village status and their headman be crowned a Headman of Record.
According to their writ of summons served by their attorney, Tshekiso Tshekiso before Francistown High Court Judge, Bengbame Sechele, the residents claim that Magapatona ward meets all requirements needed to be considered a village and should have a headman of record.
They say they qualify to be declared a village because the threshold for the establishment of a village in Botswana is 500 people.
Magapatona, the residents have pointed out has a population that far exceeds that threshold.
They have also stated in the declaration before court that the official Population Census recorded Tutume as having 17 518 people while Magapatona alone has a total of 7 545.
The residents are of the view that many villages in Botswana have populations which falls far below theirs in the ward.
Residents seek that government be directed to effect changes and all official records to record that Magapatona is a village. They also demand that government be directed to facilitate the recognition and installation of the headman as a headman of record.
The ward came into being around the year 1944 by grouping Selolwane, Thini, Madikwe and Magapatona wards.
At the time of the grouping, Magapatona village was established where the Magapatona ward is today under Kgosi Magapatona.
They claim the grouping of the villages came as a result of the demand by Kgosi Tshekedi Khama of Bangwato for ease of administration.
After the grouping, the respective villages remained independent from each other with each village governed by its own chief.
When the government started to pay chiefs it encouraged the four villages to select one chief who will be overall chief for the grouped village.
"Motimane Nsala was then selected as the chief for the grouped villages," the declaration states.
The residents also argue that by agreeing to be grouped with other villages, now named wards, it was never the intention of the people of Magapatona to relinquish their identity as an independent village.
In response, the state's attorney Kagelelo Monthe argues that for a village to be formed there are many factors to be considered other than population.
"If the request were to be acceded based on the population it would be chaotic for the nation as the growing number of people generally would result in an increased demand to be recognized as villages." Monthe said.
The parties are expected back in court on the 20th April.

Levain Bakery
Unless you've been living under a rock throughout your life as a New Yorker, you have either heard of, seen or dreamt about eating one of Levain Bakery cookies. If you have been living under a rock or don't live in New York, Levain Bakery is an upper west side bakery known for having the best cookies ever. They are famous for their classic appeal, extreme thickness, large size and almost sexual gooeyness. The one downside to this bakery is that it's all the way uptown on the upper west side, and for those of us who live downtown that trip is not really what we feel like doing. But one day I decided it was what I felt like doing. And this is what happened.
I hope you understand.

I have to admit. I'm a little embarrassed.
If you've read my book, you may have noticed: my chapter on 'Be Grateful' is the shortest chapter in the book. I remember sitting at my desk, staring at my computer, knowing that gratitude was an integral part of the personal and spiritual growth process, and yet not knowing what to say.
I don't think I've been a grateful person.
This is embarrassing for me because I have a good life. I think I have been so immersed in the spiritual growth journey of wanting to learn more, grow more, and be more, that I never stopped to enjoy where I was at or what I already have. Nor did I have an appreciation for the significance of gratitude as a way of life. I felt thankful for people and moments. I recognized and embraced God's grace in the ordinary moments of my day but there was something missing.
That all changed over the past month and a half.
If you follow me on Facebook, you saw I posted gratitude reflections every night in October in preparation for my gratitude retreat. Between that and preparing for the retreat, gratitude was always on my mind. The more I read, the more I was amazed at how healing practicing gratitude can be. One researcher - Robert Emmons from UC Davis - studied gratitude for fifteen years and found gratitude increases well being and happiness by 25%, improves relationships, loneliness, mild depression, makes people more resilient to trauma, and even has a positive effect on heart and kidney health.
I decided to get serious about practicing gratitude.
Every morning before my family gets up and I'm alone with my coffee and oatmeal, I say a prayer thanking God for three things. That's it. I don't write anything down in a pretty journal, I don't pull out my special music. I just sit and pray a prayer of gratitude with my list of three.
The result? Extra padding on my heart.
This is the best way I can describe the effect. When I start the day praying and reflecting on the people and situations I'm grateful for, I feel extra love in my heart for these people and situations. When the busy-ness of the day begins, the little things that usually bother me bounce off the padding in my heart or don't land as hard. I've noticed that the mornings I forget to say my prayer of thanksgiving, there's nothing to 'cushion the blow'.
Try a gratitude practice of your own.
During this month of Thanksgiving, I invite you to try a new practice of your own. Practicing gratitude is more than a 'self-improvement to-do list'
It's allowing yourself to receive God's love and goodness and pass it on to the people around you.
Download my list.
I have a great list of 40 meaningful ways to practice gratitude. I love this list because it shows gratitude as a way of being, not just a bunch of things to put on your 'to-do' list of self-improvement. I hope you'll go to my Facebook page and download them there. While you're there, "like" my page. I'll have more gratitude reflections for Thanksgiving and tips to enjoy the holidays.
Time to Reflect:
What is the one life-giving practice that you know helps you to have a more peaceful day? For me it was gratitude, for you maybe it's daily mass, or a daily walk, or a moment of silence.
What gets in the way of your daily practice?
What can you do to get back into the practice? Is there something you need to say 'no' to in order to say 'yes' to a daily practice?
Please comment. I'd love to hear from you on anything that resonated with you from my reflection. We are on this journey together and the more we share, the more we can enjoy this wonderful journey of growth!
