I'm trying to let people know quickly what our game is about, while at the same time, prevent anyone from seeing a picture of a block and instantly assume our game is A Minecraft Clone. Please let me know if this message gets the point across, or should I even have this message to begin with on our homepage. What alternative way could I achieve the same goal? I want people to read and realize what our system actually does instead of looking at it and think that you open our game, collect resources, survive, then make pretty square buildings for the rest of your life.

Is this maybe better?
KonCraft is a game where you move your mouse and stuff happens.

Ok well the main question is why cubes? If it is a game building game you could make almost anything else so why even give people the option to assume something else? It is exactly the same issue people having making games based on an IP then complaining when you try to do something creative within the universe.
If you want people to not give you grief about it being a clone, don't make it relevant for them to say so regardless of if it is different or not.

Hi man, I have wrote this article appfreak.net/mobile-app-marketing/ - try reading it and see if it helps. If you have any questions, I will be glad to answer them
P.S. Sorry about not-working URL, obviously I can't post links as a new member.

First mistake, having the word Craft at the end.
Those are the only ingredients that make up minecraft.. so can you really honestly blame them for calling your game a clone.

call it minecraft but claim the mine means it is yours

Ok, well I'm made up of atoms. Atoms are basically a voxel system. Does that mean I live in a minecraft world? Curious minds want to know.
Minecraft didn't invent the following:
ABSOLUTELY everything minecraft is, is a clone of something else.
I'm just trying to figure a way to attract the minecraft crowd, but at the same time distinguish our game as something unique which I believe it is, and has not been done before. I really have no qualms about people comparing our game to minecraft, I just don't want the random user to look at our game in one picture and 10 seconds, then leave because they think it is minecraft. Just looking for ideas to combat that.
|May 21 2013 Anchor
:o sadly this will always happen, that's why I'm doing an indie review of vox right now b.c ppl look at it for a little bit, without trying it, tells others it's a minecraft clone when it's nothing like minecraft aside from being a voxel type game. I've had other games in my review blog that has the same problem, however I always make sure that on my review I address this issue as well as really break down the game so people can see the difference and judge it for themselves. I've got feedback from people how this way helped them decide and they went ahead and supported the games. Having said this, player reviews would probably be the best way to combat the haters because people are always on a look out for new things even if it has qualities that they already seen. While some people just like to hate. My advice is just do you and prove people wrong with your game.

Yoko Ono, the widow of musician and Beatles icon John Lennon, has embarked on a new career after 79 years of making her mark in art, music, filmmaking and publishing. Ono has entered the world of fashion by launching a menswear collection. She decided to turn her 1969 sketches titled "Fashions for Men," which had been a wedding gift to Lennon, into a book and collection with retail partner Opening Ceremony. The drawings, loosely annotated in the book, were inspired by Lennon's "hot bod," according to Ono. They include cutout tops, eyelet tanks, lion-tailed trousers, incense-spouting boots and a wild array of other quirky apparel and accessories.
When asked how male styles have evolved since the late 1960s, Ono told Style.com: "Men's fashion has not changed that much. That's why I wanted to say with my designs, 'Hey, loosen up, guys!' I think they will have a lot of fun wearing these clothes I visualized in 1969."
The eccentric line will debut in Opening Ceremony stores in New York and Los Angeles on Nov. 27. Prices range from $25 for posters to $750 for incense boots.
Feel Great. Have Fun. Be Stylish. Will you purchase a Yoko Ono piece for a man in your life? Let us know by leaving a comment in the box below. Also follow Dian on Twitter.

They say angels come in different forms and they can also be a friend, loved ones, strangers aside from the Heavenly beings created before time.
Angels were created as messengers of God. The Scriptures reveal that God created nine orders of angels:Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, Principalities, Powers, Virtues, Archangels, and Angels.
The seven angels that stood before God in Revelations are considered to be the Archangels. The Archangels were the divine messengers between the humans and God. Of the nine choirs the Archangels are probably best known to us. They are the battlers of the Sons of Darkness. The Archangels' feastday is celebrated every September 29th of every year.
ST. MICHAEL ("Who is like God?")
St. Michael is one of the principal angels and is called the prince of the Heavenly Hosts. His name was the war-cry of the good angels in the battle fought in heaven against the enemy and his followers. In the Bible, his name was mentioned four times.
On Daniel 10:13: Gabriel says to Daniel, when he asks God to permit the Jews to return to Jerusalem: "The Angel of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me . . . and, behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me . . . and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince." Again on Daniel 12, the Angel speaking of the end of the world and the Antichrist says: "At that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people."
And in Apocalypse 12:7, "And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon." St. John speaks of the great conflict at the end of time, which reflects also the battle in heaven at the beginning of time.
To be the champion of God's people, the Jews in the Old Law, the Christians in the New Testament; therefore he was the patron of the Church, and of the orders of knights during the Middle Ages, and (4) To call away from earth and bring men's souls to judgment.
ST. GABRIEL (God is my strength; God is mighty; strong man of God)
St. Gabriel is also one of the three archangels mentioned by name in the Bible. On Daniel 8:16-26; 9:21, St. Gabriel appeared to prophet Daniel to explain the prophet's visions relating to the messiah. On Luke 1:11-20, he also appeared to St. Zachary in the temple to announce the coming of
St. Gabriel's representations are lily, shield, spear, and trumpet. He is the patron saint of broadcasting, communications, public relations, telecommunications, diplomats and ambassadors, messengers, secular clergy, postal employees
ST. RAPHAEL (God has healed)
The name of Archangel Raphael only appears in the Book of Tobias. Here he first appears disguised in human form as the travelling companion of the younger Tobias, calling himself "Azarias the son of the great Ananias". The story of the adventurous journey during which the protective influence of the angel is shown in many ways including the binding "in the desert of upper Egypt" of the demon who had previously slain seven husbands of Sarah, daughter of Raguel, is picturesquely related in Tobit 5-11, to which the reader is referred. After the return and the healing of the blindness of the elder Tobias, Azarias makes himself known as "the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord" (Tobit 12:15).
St. Raphael is also identified as the angel who moved the waters of the healing sheep pool. He is also the patron of the blind, of happy meetings, of nurses, of physicians and of travelers.
ST. URIEL ("Fire of God," "Flame of God," "Light of GoD)
The Book of Enoch, mentions St. Uriel in many of the component books. In Chapter 19 which is part of "The Book of the Watchers" (2nd century BC) only four Angels are mentioned by name these are Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel. Enoch describes St. Uriel as "one of the holy angels, who is over the world...the leader of them all." In the same Book: "Uriel showed to me, whom the Lord of Glory hath set for over all the luminaries of the Heaven...the sun, moon, and stars, all the ministering creatures which make their revolution in all chariots of the Heaven."
St. Uriel is the patron of lawyers, seeking justice, prophecy.
ST. SEALTIEL (Worship and Contemplation)
ST. JHUDIEL (Bearer of God's Mercy)
St. Jhudiel is one of the Holy Archangels and is said to be the bearer of God's mercy and love. His image is shown to be holding a flaming heart pressed on his chest representing the love of God.
St. Jhudiel is invoked by confessors, social workers.
ST. BARACHIEL (Blessings from God)
St. Barachiel is also one of the seven Archangels. He is sometimes depicted in the Eastern Orthodox Church as holding a white rose against his chest, or with rose petals scattered on his clothing. His responsibilities are as varied as the blessings for which he is named, but he is also the chief of the guardian angels and may be prayed to for all the benefits which the guardian angel is thought to confer if one is not praying to the guardian angel directly. In Catholicism, St. Barachiel is also depicted holding a bread basket.
Everyday of the week a special dedication is given to each of the Holy Archangels.
SUNDAY - St. Michael
MONDAY - St. Gabriel
TUESDAY - St. Raphael
WEDNESDAY - St. Uriel
THURSDAY- St. Sealtiel
FRIDAY- St. Jhudiel
SATURDAY - St. Barachiel

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
On Sunday April 24th 1994, Pope John Paul II recommended this prayer be used by all Catholics as a prayer for the Church when he said:
'"May prayer strengthen us for the spiritual battle we are told about in the Letter to the Ephesians: 'Draw strength from the Lord and from His mighty power' (Ephesians 6:10). The Book of Revelation refers to this same battle, recalling before our eyes the image of St. Michael the Archangel (Revelation 12:7). Pope Leo XIII certainly had a very vivid recollection of this scene when, at the end of the last century, he introduced a special prayer to St. Michael throughout the Church. Although this prayer is no longer recited at the end of Mass, I ask everyone not to forget it and to recite it to obtain help in the battle against forces of darkness and against the spirit of this world."'

I'm concerned. The niners have only two easy win games left, Miami and Arizona. They play the bears at home at saints, at rams, at patriots, at Seahawks, all are not easy. Seahawks are playing well. Niners need to get it together.

PRINCE Charles will be umpiring a "tug o war" competition at a highland games near John O'Groats as the rest of the royals attend the Olympic Games in London.
The Duke of Rothesay will be almost 700 miles away at the Mey Highland Games in Caithness as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry will be watching the 2012 London games.
Organisers of the Mey games did not expect Charles to be in attendance this year due to the Olympics.
But the Prince insisted he was coming so he could keep up the memory of his late grandmother, the Queen mother.
Other strongman events such as tossing the caber and putting the shot will be watched and umpired by Charles at the Mey Games on Saturday.
However, on the same day, the Duke will be missing the opportunity to cheer on some of Britain's best medal hopefuls.
These include favourites Mo Farah in the 10,000 metres, Britain's men's coxless four, heptathlete Jessica Ennis and triathlete Helen Jenkins.
Charlie Simpson, President of the Highland Games committee, said:
"It's very good that he's coming, it really keeps things going up here.
"He has been coming for about ten years now, since his grandmother died."
He added: "I think he really likes it here. He can just wonder about by himself and nobody can bother him.
"Stone throwing, a weight throw, Highland dancing, solo piping and track events will also take place at the traditional event this weekend.
The Mey Games is one of three Highland Games held annually in Caithness. The biggest games are held in Halkirk, south of Thurso.
A spokeswoman for Clarence House confirmed that the Duke would be attending the Mey Games but said it was a "private visit."
Charles met a small crowd of people yesterday who gathered outside Keiss church where he attended on the first day of his week's holiday in Caithness.
He arrived at Wick airport on a royal flight on Saturday and is staying at the Castle of Mey.
Charles has engagements today at the office of North Highland Initiative and Wick harbour at a farm at Sibster and at Castletown-he will open two 19th century restored flagstone cottages.
The cottages-known as 'backies'- are the last two former quarry workers' cottages that have survived in the village without being largely altered. The pair have remained redundant since in 1960s.
Once the two cottages are re-opened they will be used as a base for staff from the North Highlands Initiative and available for holiday lets from September this year.
The Prince's Regeneration Trust brought the cottages back to life along with the village's heritage trust and local residents.

The buzz of the business world is all about "social networking." And to me, many times, these words conjure situations that are anything but "social." I often think of corporate jargon, slickly styled online profiles, and general fakeness. Not that I'm knocking social networking completely, but in my experience, networking face-to-face, while having its limitations, is so much more effective than conducting your elbow-rubbing online. Here are a few tips that helped me.
- 1. Networking is about sincerely making acquaintances in your target industry, not about getting a job.
I don't particularly like the word "networking" because it always connotes to me this idea of exchanging and creating a contrived connection. Whenever I'm meeting new folks in my industry, I simply do what I what do with people who are not in my industry. Be friendly, be engaging, and above all, be sincere.
- 2. You don't have to drink, but learn to be around people who do.
In my experience, networking that turns into either a friendship or a helpful business contact always starts at a casual environment, and usually over drinks. I'm not saying that you have to drink to network, but, and especially in some industries, this is how networking is done. As such, either learn to drink or to be around and engaged with people who do.
- 3. Find other things in common beyond work-related issues.
Nobody wants to talk about work all the time. And that includes people who like to network. Whenever I'm networking, I always try to find other things in common, whether it is having young children, being involved with certain hobbies, or sports and current events. Engaging someone from all perspectives is always a good idea while trying to find out more information about your industry or future career path.
- 4. Transition to an online contact, so you keep in touch.
If you've successfully interested whoever you are talking to, you should receive a business card or some other form of contact information. I usually offer to be added on Facebook or LinkedIn, if they don't ask me to do so first. If I'm asked to do the adding, I always remember to do so as soon as possible, since people can easily forget each other after such short contact.
Solid networking, of course, happens in very surprising places and with surprising people. My rule of thumb is to be open to talking to everyone—you never know where it'll get you.

BP to halt production at Badami
FAIRBANKS - BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. will halt production Aug. 1 on the Badami oil field, a once-promising North Slope site about 25 miles east of Prudhoe Bay.

Price is high when shopping locally
I am writing in response to all the letters regarding shopping locally. As a single mother of two, let me set a few things straight about shopping locally.
We are conservationists
Mike Chambers' article about the effort to ban hunting of black bears with the use of bait stations was interesting and informative. I don't know why he finds the mix of conservationists and hunters to be odd, though.
Read more about it
The recent letters from Mr. Crockroft and Ms. Noble impelled me to point out that Empire readers and all Americans have some wonderful opportunities to read many of the papers of our Founding Fathers and draw their own conclusions.
Express route needs hospital stop
I am a big fan of Capital Transit, but I would like to know why there is only local bus service to the hospital area.
Applying best practices
On behalf of the Alaska Travel Industry Association's Juneau Chapter, I would like to note the efforts put toward the Tourism Best Management Practices program.
Former state workers can find good jobs
It always surprises me that you don't hear much about the new employment opportunities that follow the initial shock of state employee downsizing. It's true that no one likes the anxiety and uncertainty of the job hunt, but, realistically, qualified people will find employment in the private sector.
Spare the wildflowers
We are so angry, a deep breath is needed before we tell about the Department Of Transportation's needless attack on wildflowers.
Land-and-shoot not in wildlife's interest
Against public opinion, Gov. Frank Murkowski has signed a bill allowing wolves to be hunted and killed from airplanes.
Finance Committee funds nonprofits, provides for schools
Faced with too many budget requests Tuesday night and not enough money to fund them, the Finance Committee of the Juneau Assembly chose to fully fund some area nonprofits and to provide partial funding to the Juneau School District. "(Nonprofits) create the tax base," said Assembly member Dale Anderson. "If we have no tax base we can't support our community. Without a tax base, without income generating a sales tax revenue, we are lost." Perseverance Theatre, the Juneau Economic Development Council, Juneau Jazz and Classics and the Southeast Alaska Guidance Association (SAGA) will receive a total of $174,800.
An article in Sunday's Empire on Thursday's Marine Park Plaza grand opening celebration failed to identify the funding source for the $6.1 million project.
North Carolina man dies in climbing fall
State troopers on Monday recovered the body of a North Carolina man who died Saturday in a climbing accident on the Juneau Icefield. Troopers on Tuesday morning identified the deceased as Jeffrey Sutton, 29, an Army captain from Fayetteville, N.C., who was transferring to the U.S. Coast Guard. Officials at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville confirmed a Jeffrey Sutton was stationed there but provided no other information. According to a trooper statement, Sutton and Army Capt. Arleigh William Dean, 29, of Juneau were climbing the west Taku Tower at 3:30 p.m. Saturday when Sutton's rope was cut on a rock as he was about a third of the way down. He fell to the tower base.

JUMP film festival returns with lessons in grammar, creative uses for a husband
The minute-long movie "Grammar" begins in a field in Lemon Creek. Greg Chaney is wearing a Viking helmet, squatting in a field and chewing grass. He is playing the role of a bull. The bull represents a noun in "Grammar," a digital short about sentence structure. Greg's son Connor, 12, wrote, directed and edited the story, one of 25 short movies playing in the Third Juneau Underground Motion Picture Film Festival. The festival opens at 7 p.m. today. Festival entries will be shown again at 7 and 9:30 p.m. Friday at the Silverbow's Back Room. Admission is free. Past festivals packed the house quickly.
Planning Commission rejects DOT's Douglas Bridge plan
The Juneau Planning Commission voted 4-4 Tuesday night to reject the state Department of Transportation's plans to make renovations to the Douglas Bridge and nearby intersections to help ease traffic congestion. The commission's split decision sends a recommendation to the Juneau Assembly not to move forward with the project. "With a vote to not recommend approval, the planning commission did not agree with our project," said DOT project planner Chris Morrow.

In 1934, the permanent town of Anchorage was started on lots sold by the Federal government.

Taking advantage of Tuesday's sunny weather, Ashley Montoya, 13, jumps from the city's floating dock in front of Marine Park as her friends Cassandra Jerue, 13, center, and Brook Delgoto, 13, swim.
Photo: Visiting steamship, 1930
This photograph of the S.S. Prince George of the Canadian National Steamship line was taken in 1930. This was one of the steamships that visited Juneau's waterfront and was regularly greeted by the famous Patsy Ann (1929-1942), a deaf bull terrier who has been memorialized with a statue downtown.
Friends remember Mr. Fourth of July
Though former Juneau Mayor Larry Parker did not spend his last few Fourth of Julys in town, those who remember him still associate him with the holiday's festivities. Parker, who died a week before Independence Day at the age of 84, was a founding member of Juneau's July 4 fireworks committee, and was involved in the pyrotechnics for more than 50 of the celebrations.
Bear breaks into home
After spending the Fourth of July weekend in Tenakee Springs, Cathy and Juan Muñoz and their daughter, Mercedes, returned Monday to find the back door of their Starr Hill home unhinged. Inside, muddy paw prints streaked the walls, mini-blinds were mangled and a 50-pound bag of dog food lay disemboweled on their living room floor. Alongside the dog food sat a sizable deposit of fresh black bear scat. "It looked like the house had been vandalized," said Cathy Muñoz, co-owner of the Ad Lib shop and a former Juneau Assembly member. "The bear literally ripped the door off its hinges."
Becker, Germain to marry
Kristy Becker and Greg Germain of Juneau will be married in a ceremony planned for Nov. 22 at the Northern Light United Church.
ASAP may help soften blow to some seniors who are losing Longevity Bonus
Eligible seniors will receive their final Longevity Bonus checks in August 2003. With that check, they will receive information about a new program called the Alaska Senior Assistance Program (ASAP).

Midsummer Night 10K and One-Mile Run
Here are the results of the Southeast Road Runners club's Midsummer Night 10-Kilometer and One-Mile Run, held Tuesday night at False Outer Point in North Douglas.
King James reigns in pro hoops debut
ORLANDO, Fla. - LeBron James dominated the competition to the delight of his audience, then eyeballed the scoreboard for his own satisfaction. With 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists Tuesday night, the most talked-about high school draft pick in NBA history thrilled a huge crowd that waited several hours to see him make his pro basketball debut. But he said what he'll remember most is the outcome of this summer league game - Cleveland Cavaliers 107, Orlando Magic 80.
A sunny night run
It was a hot time for a Midsummer Night 10K run. With the temperature above 70 degrees and only a few clouds in the sky, nearly 80 runners showed up for a rare night race hosted by the Southeast Road Runners club Tuesday night at False Outer Point. There was a 10-kilometer race (6.2 miles) for the older runners, and a one-mile race for the kids and some adults.
Juneau East beats Juneau West 14-4 in district tournament
The Juneau East All-Stars from the Gastineau Channel Little League knocked off their Juneau West GCLL counterparts 14-4 on Wednesday in the District 2 (Southeast) Age 9-10 Little League Tournament in Wrangell. Brendan Daugherty broke a 4-4 tie in the fourth inning with a two-run triple and scored two runs to lead a balanced Juneau East offense. Andy Lawson and Devan Neal both scored three runs for Juneau East.
Blind musher signs up for 2004 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race
BEND, Ore. - A high-ranking official with the Iditarod sled dog race said a sight-impaired musher from Redmond should be allowed to compete in the 2004 race.
In a story about the Midsummer Night 10K Race that ran in Wednesday's Juneau Empire sports section the first name of second-place finisher Geoff Williamson was misspelled.

Minus crowd, James not as sharp in second game
ORLANDO, Fla. - It wasn't in front of 15,000 fans and it was a loss, but LeBron James' star continued to shine. Even as the Orlando Pro Summer League returned to its usual home inside the fanless and emotionless Magic practice facility after Tuesday night's charged atmosphere at the T.D. Waterhouse Centre, James delivered more impressive play Wednesday.

Princess Tours adds Whittier after tax dropped
ANCHORAGE - Princess Tours has reached an agreement that will bring tens of thousands of cruise ship passengers to Whittier next summer. The move follows the Whittier City Council's decision in April to repeal a cruise-ship head tax and exempt Princess from other fees. The cruise and tour company, based in Santa Clarita, Calif., will reroute four ships to Whittier that stop in Seward. The vessels, carrying about 2,000 passengers each, will make 36 stops in Whittier between May and September.
Appeals court rejects borough hiring preference ordinance
ANCHORAGE - A North Slope Borough law giving Native Americans preference for borough jobs has been rejected by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. In a decision released Tuesday, a three-judge panel ruled that the law violates the Alaska Constitution's guarantee of equal protection. The decision affirms a decision by U.S. District Court Judge John Sedwick, who heard the case in Fairbanks.
Knowles will run for U.S. Senate in 2004
Democrat Tony Knowles, a two-term Alaska governor and former mayor of Anchorage, will run for a U.S. Senate seat in 2004, he said. In a long-anticipated announcement, the 60-year-old Knowles said Alaska needs a strong voice in both political parties defending the state in Washington, D.C. Knowles is seeking the seat now held by Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Anchorage Republican appointed by her father, Gov. Frank Murkowski, last year after he took office and resigned his Senate seat.
Lawmakers divert Bush funds to bigger cities
A Murkowski administration proposal to parcel out $14.7 million in one-time federal funds to local communities was dramatically changed by a legislative committee on Wednesday. The Legislative Budget and Audit Committee voted to take nearly $3 million from Bush communities and give to generally larger communities that stood to lose under a proposed formula. Anchorage will receive $5.2 million, which is $1.3 million more than the administration had proposed. Juneau will get $184,000 more than originally proposed and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough would receive about $211,000 in additional funding.

Haines, Skagway want private ferry
The communities of Haines and Skagway are mounting a campaign to bring a private fast ferry system to Lynn Canal, a move the towns' officials say is in response to inadequate service. Officials in the two communities said they are frustrated with unfulfilled promises by the state to provide Lynn Canal communities with fast ferry service to Juneau. "We're fed up with the Department of Transportation," said Jan Wrentmore, a business owner in Haines who serves on the Haines Lynn Canal Transportation Committee.

In March 1999, hundreds of skydivers came from
around the world to Zephyrhills, Florida, to participate in a
unique competition. The contest was to build three skydiving
formations on three different jumps, each with a different pattern.
Several skydiving centers across the United States participated in
the event, held at various times during the year.
The group that built these formations the fastest was
declared the winner. Jumping from five aircraft, flying in
formation at 15,000 feet above the ground, the 100 men and women at
Skydive City achieved the fastest time of just over 50 seconds to
complete the formation, falling at more than 120 mph. Two more
100-way formations were built in the next two jumps, each with 100
people, in under 60 seconds.
Skydivers from all over the country came to this
event, for only here could they find other skydivers with the skill
and experience to perform this difficult feat. Project
documentation consists of text and thirteen 8 x 10 glossy

NEW YORK --Experts are reviewing plans to secure the arm of a crane that's been dangling off a luxury high-rise in midtown Manhattan.
City officials said Thursday that inspections of the crane have been completed.
Meanwhile, the city has lifted its pre-storm ban on all outdoor construction work.
Buildings Department chief spokesman Tony Sclafani has said that a strong wind gust during superstorm Sandy likely was a major factor in the crane accident on Monday night.
Experts also have been examining how the crane was positioned.
Engineers climbed the 74-story building in the midst of the storm to inspect the crane.
Neighboring buildings were evacuated, including a hotel with 900 guests.

"Climate change could put trillions of investment dollars at risk over the next 20 years, a global study released on Wednesday said, calling for pension funds and other investors to overhaul how they allocate funds.
Risks from more extreme weather, continued delay in climate policy by governments and uncertainty over the shape of a new global climate pact were major concerns, while renewable energy, agriculture and infrastructure could be opportunities.
The study, led by global investment consultancy Mercer, describes climate change as systemic risk because it challenges the conventional allocation of assets and requires new ways of assessing climate policy and change risks."

Father blames Microsoft as son spends Ł1150 on Xbox Live
I play a shit ton of games but don't know all the ins and outs of profile settings on my xbox; should we expect a middle age non gamer to know how it all operates? The whole point of FIFA card packs is to gouge the unaware or stupid parents of naive or selfish kids. I'm a teacher, and the money some of my pupils have shelled on that crap boggles the mind.
Yes, he should have kept a better eye on his kid and card, and yes, his kid probably knew what he was doing, but microsoft and EA are greedy bastards who operate a pretty slimy business model. Plenty of blame to spread around imo.

BioWare: we finished Mass Effect 3 before working on DLC
|@mattroberts 'Gimped' was certainly an overstatement, but comparing ME characters to 'walking codexs' isn't any less ridiculous. The sharacter interaction is (for me) key to ME; take it out and you have an average shooter/rpg with a hokey story and a nice atmosphere. Also, I know this is the internet, but please try and stay civil. Manners are free.
@Dave Thing is, this particular DLC doesn't just extend the gameplay a bit or offer some new toys, it includes a fully fleshed out and presumably unique character whose absence will have an impact on the whole experience. It materially diminishes every minute of the product you did pay for in an effort to make the consumer cough up some more dough.
It is some cynical shit.
I agree though, if people are unhappy they'd better vote with their wallet. I know I will.
Fuck this.
I've always tried to support Bioware because I love their games, and I was dumb enought to defend project $10 when others (rightly) called it out as the thin end of the wedge, but seriously, fuck this.
I'll pick it up 2nd hand or wait till the price comes way down, but no way will I pay the cover price for a gimped product, and Bioware can go fuck themselves.

Had to work out an efficient line (jump off to the right, kill the 1st guard on the run, cloak and sprint to the heavies, drop typhoon, get into cover, magnum the third, EMP the bot, take out the last ground guy, blow the barrels & pop the snipers) too, and when I got it right it felt fucking epic. My bleeding heart stealth character forced into serious violence by the circumstances - and wrecking everything against the odds...
What a game.
Dragon Age 2 response surprised BioWare
DA2 is certainly open to some pretty severe criticisms, but can we please get past the nonsense that it's a button-masher? Claiming otherwise just shows you didn't change the difficulty. 'Normal' was designed for button-mashers, RPG veterans were expected to ramp it up somewhat. Do that and, IMO, the combat is far harder and requires more tactical organisation than in DA:O, where a couple of well built mages could pretty much level everything by midgame.
Buggy? Yes. Linear? Yes. Over-reliant on reused assets and constant enemy spawns? Yup and Yup. But mindless action game? Not on your life.

Dragon Age 2 DLC to address fan feedback
I really don't get why people think DA:O was so deep. I mean, I love the game, but mages are way over-powered, the linear skill trees result in only a few viable builds with predictable skilll progressions and levelling up boiled down to pumping each class' principle stat. Baldur's Gate it was not.
Yes DA2 has serious flaws - reused enviromnents and a shocking slew of bugs chief among them - but give the game credit for what it did right. Class balance and synergy was better and the setting was a refreshing break from the norm. Bioware tried to be innovative and got mixed results. Of course 'innovation' is a dirty word for a lot of RPG fans - I remember the boards bemoaning DA:O's development for not being D&D enough. Plus ca change...

Wii 2 to be revealed at E3 – report
Makes sense for ninty for the reasons outlined above; a saturated wii hardware market, low attach rate of games per console and, I'd imagine, growing concern over the app store's future impact on the casual scene. They have bags of cash right now and no new PS or Xbox seems imminent, so I get why they're going for it.
Still wish they wouldn't though.
Why the fuck do we want a new console arms race? Developers can barely afford to make games for the current gen and it's resulted in a slew of bust companies and shite 'low risk' modern combat fpses. That's only getting worse next gen, and balls to that I say. Things are ok right now; decent fidelity visuals, very few single platform exclusives and a few years of stability. If it ain't (completely) broke...

so if you time a Hyper Combo badly and need to escape punishment, or just want to combo two Hyper Combos together, then a well timed X Factor cancel is only four simultaneous button presses away. And when you factor in Delayed Hyper Combos, it's fair to say that linking four harbingers of doom into one satisfying combo has never been easier.
Never worked out what the hell was going on in MvC2, looks like this will be no different. Given that I royally suck at SF4 where I do at least know what's going on, might have to give this a miss.

Sony shows off 3D headset
|Choice of where to focus isn't the only headache causer though; the lens of the eye has to remain focused on the screen while eye alignment changes to track the virtual image you are looking at. In normal vision these two processes always work in concert; in 3D displays they almost never do. I believe this is less of a concern in a cinema than at home because you are further from the screen so the eye lens can just focus in to the distance. The screens here are right in front of your nose, (one of the problems with the virtual boy I think) but the lens in the headset will make it appear further away. Just how far away they can make it appear without distorting the image might go a fair way to determining whether this is a breakout tech or just a vomit inducing curio.
Keep the 3DS still while playing
|@makeamazing: I was talking about restrictions on use from an adult standpoint. Obviously young kids should not be using it if it will have deliterious effects, just like young kids shouldn't handle knives or have access to pornography. Will some kids play it? Undoubtedly; just like some kids play with knives. A shame, but we don't ban knives. And I speak as someone with a permanently lazy eye because 6 year old me refused to wear those damn eyepatches.
|Jeez. Glasses free stereoscopic 3D, on a handheld device, and everyone's bitching about a few limitations? Guess what: all artificial 3D comes with limitations. Your lens focus and eye alignment do different things and this eventually tires your brain out. This is unavoidable. From my reading of the article, the dev was suggesting that if the screen is shaking you'll get tired faster, not that the 3D won't work - again, this seems unavoidable. Which would be rubbish, except there's a 3D slider on the side so you can turn it down if you feel a headache coming on or you're in the 5-10% of the pop. who don't process simulated 3D. So where's the problem?

|Eric and brother Hervé are the tossers that nearly destroyed fallout to begin with. After buying out Interplay they canned the original fallout 3 (codenamed Van Buren, google it if you like to read mass fan bitching) for the execrable abortion basket of a game that was brotherhood of steel and drove off all their development talent by being generally clueless cunts. They have no more claim on the soul of fallout than I have claim on Beyoncé's buttocks.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
|I am now officially reallyfuckingexcited for this. The more I hear and see the better it sounds =]
Fable III
While there are some elements I really liked in the first two games, I never even finished II as it eventually bored me rigid. The games are, for my tastes, too linear, too repetitive and far, FAR too fucking easy. One button combat? Seriously? But hey! if you're really good at pressing one button you get rewarded by having no scars! Except that's not a reward, is it, as I never had the scars to begin with. It's just the game making shit players' and young children's characters look like Freddy Kreuger in a three corner hat and frock coat.
Think I'll pass.
No Move, Kinect for Fight Night Champion
|A really good first person boxing game is just about the only thing that could convince me to buy a kinect right now, so I guess this is a shame, but honestly I have to agree with EA. I've been doing martial arts for a while now and bag work is about as tiring as it gets. Fitness isn't my only concern either; the canned animations of wii boxing leave me totally cold and a game using one-to-one motion control would reveal rather swiftly that most folk are pretty terrible at boxing. I seem to remember the devs of The Ashes saying they chose not to use 1-to-1 tracking on the wii version because everyone bar professionals would get bowled out for a duck. Hell, 1-to-1 wouldn't even work anyway as there's nothing for your fist to recoil from... The more I think about kinect the more it seems utterly fucking useless.
For Ten Dollars More?
If project ten dollar offered value for money it would be failing spectacularly to do its job. Its purpose is to inhibit second hand sales and not really to make money off them, so if they were priced in line with other DLCs they would be just that: other DLCs. As has been pointed out they exist to persuade a customer choosing between a fractionally marked down used copy and a new one to plump for the new, and as long as the incentive is not gamebreaking I see no problem with this (which is why I see Shale as probably the worst example of P$10, as the game is materially diminished without her). Assasin's 2 has also been mentioned, and as I understand it the DLC is pretty gamebreaking there. I avoided the game for that reason. (though that's hardly EA's fault)
Someone compared this to a car manufacturer ripping bits out of used mercs, but that really isn't an apt comparison as cars depreciate in value naturally leading to the used vs new markets regulating themselves pretty well. That doesn't really happen for games and allows the likes of GAME to rip folk off and cream it in on used copies just post release. Is that a healthy market? Personally I'd prefer to have the choice between a new copy with some extras and a used copy at a significantly reduced price point (preferably through ebay. I really hate GAME.) and that's not a choice that's currently available. We'll see if this kind of initiative brings it in.
Molyneux: Fable II was "rushed"
|Yes, yes Pete it most certainly did. And yet I fell for it. AGAIN. Because the first chapter was so awesome, and the premise sounded so good, and the reviews were so positive, and because I had no idea how goddamn fucking bored rigid I would be two-thirds in by the utterly shallow challenge free gameplay and the paper thin joke of a plot. And since I felt the same way after Fable I (which I at least managed to finish) I really should have known better. Shame on me. But I will swallow no amount of hype for the next one, Fable: go to hell.
SEGA making hardcore Kinect game
|Until told otherwise I'll pretend that it's shenmue 3 with full motion control. Yes, I know, but I can dream, right?
Kotick wishes COD was sub-based MMO
|One day there's going to be a news post quoting Kotick *not* being an outrageous money-grubbing c*nt. Except it'll be a typo.
Square Enix announces Mindjack
|That trailer is totally, *totally* shit. I can't help feeling that Squeenix publishing some decidely ropy games has kind of tarnished the expectation of quality I used to attach to their name.
GameStop gives Kinect $149.99 price
|So how's that attempt to crack into the casual games market going microsoft? What's that you say? It's prohibitively expensive and none of your target audience have really even heard of it? Well, good luck with that.
Demon's Souls - first 15 minutes
|Can't afford a PS3, and this game makes me jealous. :(

We started watching The Grey but just couldn't get into it.
We watched Get Low with Robert Duvall as a crotchety old recluse with a secret, who wants to have a funeral while he's still alive. Great supporting cast, and Duvall was wonderful.
We had a Dexterfest. I can't watch an episode a week- so we get all the DVD's and watch in one sitting
Colin Hanks looks so much like his father
As for Dexter, now what- his sister saw him:stressed
Grace, with Jordan Ladd. A woman's husband is killed in a car accident, she is 8 months pregnant and they find out her baby has died.... she goes through labor and somehow the child is revived.... baby Grace is hungry but not for food. I was pleasantly surprised as I went into it not expecting much. Creepy and not just gorey horror.
I watched Jeff, Who Lives At Home last night. It stars Jason Segal and Ed Helms as very different brothers and Susan Sarandon as their mother. Indie and unusual, but strangely satisfying and touching in the end. I wasn't sure where it was going, but I like all the actors (including the fabulous Judy Greer was Ed Helms' wife and Rae Dawn Chong as Sarandon's co-worker), so I was happy to go along for the ride.
On the Ice - Film about a couple of Inupiat teens whose friend is killed during a hunting trip with them. They lie about what happens and the film follows the fallout of this decision. From the beginning I was fascinated by the realism. As an Alaskan, I'm used to seeing the Hollywood depiction of my home state. This film was actually filmed in Barrow and they used a number of local actors, so even the language felt exactly right! Overall the movie was a bit slow moving, but well done. I thought it was definitely worth the watch. I'm not sure if it would go over the same way with someone who did not have the same fascination with the details. Interesting tidbit: two movies have been filmed in Barrow - the other one was 30 Days of Night. In that movie the sun never rose (until the last scene) and in this movie the sun never set!
Girl in Progress - Coming of age story with a twist. The story is a girl living with her immature single mom who bounces from one man to the next. She is fed up with her mom, so when her English teacher starts talking to the class about "coming of age" stories she decides to make a plan for her own "coming of age". She thinks that by coming of age she can get out on her own and no longer be subject to the whims of her mother. A lot of the film was predictable, but I found it an enjoyable movie that was worth watching.
Big Miracle - I really wanted to like this movie. The acting was fine, but I just didn't find myself engaged with the story. When sad stuff happened, I didn't find myself sad and the majority of the characters did not come off as likable. Near the end of the story when they were working with an ice breaking boat it just moved into the absurd. The people were standing RIGHT THERE! It was ridiculous!! The most interesting part of the movie was during the credits when they showed some of the real life footage alongside the movie content.
I finally got to watch Winter's Bone on Netflix this weekend. Hubby and I liked it though it's pretty different from our usual fare. It definitely had that "indie" feel to it but that kind of helped the overall look and atmosphere of the film. I'll tell you what - being reminded that that's how some people actually live is a reminder that my daily gripes are actually pretty insignificant. I think this movie was based on a book which I think I'd like to read because it might fill in some of the gaps. The actor who played Teardrop did a great job.
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol - I'm not a big Tom Cruise fan. I've had a hard time not letting his personal views affect my opinion of him in movies. For the most part I just avoid his movies now. I decided to give this one a hot after hearing some good reviews. I'm glad I did. It was an enjoyable action movie. Fairly fast paced, not hard to follow, and had some funny moments. Worth watching.

Some of them are trivial changes that should go into Emacs core like put (put var 'permanent-local t) on major mode independent variables, for example those on editor emulation minor modes.

For parsers: No. I thought about it, but come to the conclusion that the only reasonable approach is changing the low level buffer reading primitives. Too much is otherwise difficult to implement in the parsers. At least that is what I believe. I could implement structures in MuMaMo that are lists of buffer chunks in special modes (I started to do that), but it have to be accessed at low level parts of the code and that essentially means that code similar to what I suggested needs to partly written in every parser (or in the low level reading primitives).

Jen Preschern, M.A., CCC SLP
1. Researchers have identified the genes that cause autism. There are 100 genes that can recombine in any way. This is why no 2 children with autism are the same. (This is widely accepted by the research community. PBS has a segment on it: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/autism-genes.html )
2. However, researchers are also looking at what epigenetic causes "turns on" these genes. Basically, if/what environmental causes are connected with the expression of the genes. Meaning, you may inherit your dad's genes for high blood pressure. However, if you eat right and exercise, these genes may never be expressed and you may live to be an old man with normal blood pressure.
For more information on the fascinating new field of epigenetics, check out PBS: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/epigenetics.html (As a digression- I highly recommend the segment on the Tale of Two Mice. It describes pre-natal epigenetic causes of obesity. Fascinating)
3. Jenny McCarthy and Hollywood need to step down. Autism is not caused by the MMR vaccine or any other regular vaccine ( at least not those given after a baby is born. There might be some connection if a mother is given vaccines while pregnant.)
*If anyone is not convinced yet, I can find about a hundred more studies that show that AUTISM IS NOT CAUSED BY the MMR shot!!! Get your kids vaccinated, and encourage your friends kids to get vaccinated too. Measles and Rubella is returning because idiots follow the advice of celebrities over the advice of researchers.
4. There is a correlation (research is not sure if it's a cause) of paternal age and autism.
5 . While researchers are debating as to exactly WHAT epigenetic factors turn on the autism genes, there is some promising research on exposure to chemicals while in-utereo
There is a link between pre-natal exposure to common pollutants and autism (one chemical in particular: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo(a)pyrene. US News did an easy to follow report on this too- second link.
If you are pregnant, or know someone who is pregnant, I recommend eliminating chemicals from your home as much as possible, including the use of plastics for microwaving/storing food/water bottles, and the use of chemical cleaners as much as possible. I would also look at eating only grass-fed beef and organic milk. The amount of chemicals in our standard meat and dairy system in the USA is staggering. High fructose corn syrup while pregnant is also a no-no. Look at the labels. These things are all derivatives of processed corn: sucrose, dextrose, fructose, corn syrup. If a food item has one these ingredients listed, and it is not a candy product- don't buy it! A recent Stanford study proved that this stuff makes you fat. Another study printed in the recent Economist magazine showed that a mother's diet while pregnant pre-disposes her child to the same food preferences. (I did not provide research on this paragraph here, but I can get it if anyone is interested). Until researchers can identify what specific chemicals are linked to autism, I'd recommend staying away from all of them if you are pregnant.
6. If the genes are expressed, autism is caused by abnormalities in the pre-frontal lobe of your brain. In a nutshell, the left pre-frontal lobe controls language, working memory, executive functions. The right prefrontal lobe controls the mirror neuron system, which is the location of the ability to feel emphathy or "feel" what another person is going through. Here is an interesting PBS segment on the mirror neuron system:
In children with autism, the area in the brain responsible for the mirror neuron system, the pons opercularis(the symmetrical site of Broca's - language production area- on the left hemisphere), is not working as compared to normally developing children. In a recent FMRI study, the activity recorded in the pons opercularis during a facial expression/matching test was directly correlated to the severity of autism. In children with the most severe autism, the area was not activating at all! This means that the part of the brain that is able to connect with other people is just not working!!!
It is also believed that the genes/environment cause the brain to myelinate, or form connections between parts in the brain, improperly- In some places too much too fast, in other places not enough- Myelin in the brain is absolutely necessary- It creates connections and allows skills to become automatic. (As a digression- the myelin that connects the occipital area(vision),with Wernicke's area(language comprehension), with Broca's area(language), with the amygdala(emotion regulation), with a not-yet fully formed yet pre-frontal lobe(goal setting, inhibiting of impulses, attention, working memory) becomes fully connected around age 6 in most children- This is why children can being reading at this age!! Before this time, the brain is literally not connected! )
Thus, a child with autism can not "feel" other people's emotions, and they are easily over-stimulated because any incoming stimuli not only activates one brain area like a normally developing child, but large portions of the brain (due to the too strong/too much myelin connections). It all makes sense- Children with severe autism then use compensatory strategies, such as hand flapping/perseveration, in orde to help regulate themselves. They are also unable to deal with change in the environment, because the area of the brain responsible for regulating change is not functioning properly.
*research that shows more myelin in left and front medial frontal cortex- These are the executive function areas that help children regulate emotions, set goals, monitor progress. They are also the areas responsible for language, and social interaction (the mirror neuron system)
7. Researchers believe that children can be identified with autism as early as one, maybe even earlier-
Some red flags for very young children-
8. What is a parent to do if they suspect autism? Find a friendly speech/language pathologist! www.asha.org can help you locate someone in the area or let me know and I can help you find one.

Before I was a scrapbooker, I was a stamper.
But once I had kids, I started down the scrapbooking path and left my rubbery past behind. I soon discovered, however, that scrapbooking and stamping aren't "either/or." In fact, combining the two can create magic!
In keeping with this month's theme of Use It Up!, today's interview with Raisin Boat co-owners Bobbi Lemanski and Kim Ziehr will have you thinking about your stamps in a whole new way.
Here are just a few of the hot topics in this week's podcast:
- How Raisin Boat's stamp rental program can revolutionize your crafting (can you say "Guilt-free?!")
- Why being dedicated scrapbookers and stampers has helped Kim and Bobbi stand out in their industry
- How the team conceptualizes and develops their unique, customer-pleasing themes
Of course, we also cover upcoming calendar items you won't want to miss, such as:
-June's Free Scrapinar: 6×6 Papers for 12×12 Pages with Lisa Echerd
-True Scrap Kids on July 27!

He was thinking too much instead of just playing confidently.
Gradkowski is literally at the center of the Ravens' struggling offensive line. He's the only new starter on a unit that was a big part of Baltimore's Super Bowl run, and thus someone many fans are pointing at for the sudden and unexpected problems.
"I'm just trying to progress every week, get better every week," Gradkowski said Wednesday. "There's still a lot of work to be done and improvement I need to make. I'll keep working at that every day."
Gradkowski, 24, is a fourth-round pick out of Delaware who is in just his second NFL season. He took over the starting job from 15-year veteran Matt Birk.
On Monday, Head Coach John Harbaugh said Gradkowski is holding up physically. But he said the Ravens are feeling the effects of having a less experienced center.
"It's a difference between Gino and Matt with the calls," Harbaugh said. "Gino's a really smart guy, but Matt had been on at it for a lot of years."
Gradkowski said identifying opposing defenses and making the appropriate calls has "been a challenge." He said opponents have thrown a lot of different alignments and pressures at him so far.
Regardless, one thing he can't be is hesitant. Harbaugh said Gradkowski is sometimes a little "tentative" with his footwork instead of coming off the ball and pushing defenders back. That's not creating enough room to get the ground game going.
"I've got to try to be more confident and more comfortable in there," Gradkowski said. "You just make the calls and you've got to go. Whether they're right or wrong, you've got to go. That's something I'll work on, something I need to get better with."
Former Ravens offensive lineman Wally Williams went through a similar process as Gradkowski. As an undrafted rookie free agent, Williams played in just two games as a rookie in 1993 then took over as Cleveland's full-time starting center seven games into the 1994 season.
Williams now watches the Ravens as a CBS analyst for WJZ and 105.7 The Fan, and has kept an eye on Gradkowski's development in the middle.
"It's a lot of responsibility Gino has, and he's going through some growing pains right now," Williams said.
Williams believes Gradkowski's confidence in making the calls is something that affects the rest of the offensive line.
Harbaugh said the Ravens need to be more physical inside with pass protection, yet Baltimore has two maulers at guard in Pro Bowler
"We see how important Matt Birk was to this team last year. When you have a veteran guy who has seen every defensive front and every blitz, he sniffs it out before he even puts his hand on the ball," Williams said.
"If you have that confidence as a guard or tackle that your center is going to put you in the right spot, it takes a lot of the pressure off the thinking process. It allows you to come off the ball a lot harder. You don't have to worry about mistakes."
Williams also questioned the offensive line's overall toughness. Running back
"What we're doing is getting a guy who wants it a little bit more on the other side," Rice said. "That's what we have to do; we have to fight that. We have to go out there and match the other team's intensity."
Gradkowski's fellow offensive linemen are taking their share of the blame for the line's struggles. Yanda was asked whether the problem has been about not being on the right assignments or whether players are losing one-on-one battles.
"Sometimes that happens [with the assignments], and sometimes guys need to make plays, and sometimes they may," he said. "Sometimes it's penalties that kill the whole drive. It's a combination of things."
