Hot Springs Story Review
- Publisher: Kairosoft Co.,Ltd
- Genre: Strategy
- Released: 28 Feb, 2011
- Size: 174.9 MB
- Price: $4.99
- Deep management elements; lots of complex customer/building interactions to learn.
- Highly addictive gameplay; encourages repeat plays to 'perfect' your inn.
- Interface improvements and useful help features; keep track of interactions as you learn them.
- Minor touch-based menu complications; however building selection is improved by zooming.
- Odd bug/redundant code can make a mouse cursor appear when tapping.
Hot Springs Story is a different approach to the Sim-Management style of gameplay that made Game Dev Story so popular, but it's no less addictive and players should prepare themselves for some social black-outs.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
Spare me a moment and consider one of the few, but very real concerns of reviewing video games. Last year I had to fortune (or is that misfortune?) of spending a lot of time with Game Dev Story (GDS) by Kairosoft, but it's addictive gameplay almost ruined a week's worth of scheduled work. Now I'm playing their follow-up, Hot Springs Story (HSS) and much like the virtual game developers of their previous title, these very real developers have not simply leveled up, they've found the real-world cheat codes to maxing out their Sim-Management skills.
One of the first notable changes over GDS is the improved control system that, while still mostly menu based, allows for more interaction over the environment including the ability to zoom in and out and a horizontal orientation for a better perspective. Where GDS rewarded players for creating clever combinations and micro-managing individual workers, HSS takes a broader approach to managing your holiday retreat and each facility you build needs to be carefully placed to maximize its benefits. Each customer type has a set of likes and dislikes that can be catered to specifically and the proximity of each structure you build can improve their individual popularity (and subsequent value) to those who stay at your inn.
Much like GDS the game uses a compact pixel-art style, but the overall effect is improved dramatically by the constant hub-bub of people interacting with each facility. Time is also represented in two ways, with each 24 hour period indicating a passing month and as the seasons change so too will your gardens, further affecting the popularity of your holiday retreat.
If one major criticism could be leveled at HSS, it'd be the strange lack of the tongue-in-cheek humor that made GDS so much fun to play, but when the tradeoff is a deeper, rewarding game, there's not much room to complain.
Those who lost themselves to Game Dev Story should strap themselves in for more time lost with Hot Springs Story and if you missed Kairosoft's first Sim release you should definitely grab this one first.
DescriptionBuild your own resort and propel it to success with but a touch of the finger in this one-of-a-kind simulation!

What is a Health Care Spending Account?
A Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) is a health and dental benefit administration feature that can be part of a traditional or flexible benefits plan. It operates in a similar fashion to a bank account:
- Manulife opens an account for each plan member with an HCSA;
- Manulife credits each plan member's HCSA with the HCSA balance he or she is eligible to receive; and
- Plan members use the HCSA balance to pay for eligible health and dental expenses which are not otherwise covered by their group benefits plan.
Plan members submit health and dental expenses against the account until the balance is zero or is no longer available for use.
HCSAs are an effective tool to assist plan sponsors in managing overall plan costs. With an HCSA a plan sponsor can:
- limit liability while increasing benefit flexibility;
- retain benefits at a predetermined level instead of providing additional coverage through their core plan; and
- help provide employees with greater satisfaction.

MAHLE offers solutions for all stages of electrification
An electric main cooling pump provides the possibility of completely suppressing the coolant flow during the engine's warm-up phase by remaining disabled.
Download Image [JPG; 938 KB]
Stuttgart, September 2015 – In the future, vehicle electrification will make an increasing contribution toward efficient mobility. Starting with the conventional standard powertrain, MAHLE sees potential for a CO2 reduction of up to 65 percent thanks to the many options that electrification including plug-in hybrids offer. The consideration must not be restricted to immediate support of the combustion engine, with boosting, start-stop functionality, or hybridization, for instance; rather, it must also entail advanced measures in the vehicle, such as thermal management or the electrification of engine accessories.
Even relatively small steps in electrification can achieve a sustainable effect in the combustion engine powertrain with a conventional 12 V electrical system. For example, electric actuators enable faster and more precise control of the combustion engine. Simply by replacing the pneumatic wastegate actuator with an electric variant, which MAHLE has been supplying for large-scale production applications since 2009, CO2 savings of approximately two percent can be achieved. Rounded out by additional "light" electrification steps, such as electric thermostats, EGR valves, power steering motors, and stop-start functionality, CO2 savings of up to eight percent in total can be demonstrated, without intervention in the electrical system and without electric drive motors.
The electrification of engine accessories provides further off-loading and support of the combustion engine. When uncoupled from the belt drive, not only do these provide packaging advantages owing to discretionary placement options, but mechanical losses in the combustion engine are also eliminated. The energy for electric engine accessories can be produced by means of recuperation. In addition, they operate independently of engine speed and pressure and can therefore be designed purely based on specific requirements and with extreme precision. For example, an electric main cooling pump provides the possibility of completely suppressing the coolant flow during the engine's warm-up phase simply by remaining disabled. The combustion engine can thus reach its optimal operating temperature more rapidly, and critical cold-start emissions can be drastically reduced. The coolant pump then operates with fully variable control based on the driving situation. Its use results in a possible CO2 reduction of up to five percent in total. Particularly in conjunction with the 48-volt electrical system, MAHLE anticipates a high prevalence of electric engine accessories and is continuously expanding its portfolio to include electric coolant pumps, air conditioning compressors, radiator fans, among others.
With full hybridization at the latest, and right through to plug-in hybrids, thermal management in the vehicle is facing new challenges: lithium-ion batteries, in particular, must be continuously maintained within a temperature window. MAHLE was a pioneer in this field, with series production of the first refrigerant-based battery cooling systems already in 2009. Today, MAHLE's thermoelectric battery conditioning is almost ready for series production. But cooling and temperature control of drive components are not the only crucial factors in high-voltage applications; interior air conditioning must also be maintained while the combustion engine is turned off. High-voltage PTC heaters and electric air conditioning compressors from the MAHLE portfolio are essential systems for this purpose.
The various degrees of drive and vehicle electrification will become more widespread in conjunction with the vehicle class and its price sensitivity, thereby making a contribution toward increased efficiency. With its comprehensive portfolio in the areas of thermal management, electric actuators, engine accessories, and electrics, MAHLE has been present on the market in countless series production applications for many years and continues to prepare for the future continuing electrification of the powertrain in various forms. This includes further expansion of the company's comprehensive systems expertise and portfolio, and thus added value. This applies to fuel cell powertrains as well, where MAHLE has been a series supplier for air and thermal management systems for many years and will continue to expand its activities. As the automobile becomes increasingly electrified, MAHLE will therefore be ready, providing significant contributions.

- How many times have you given this talk? Keeping track of the number of times you've given a particular talk or presentation will help prompt you to update it and to consider what has changed since its first iteration. And it'll serve as a reminder that you might now want to consider another approach.
- Who's in the audience? Are you sure? If you've lost count of the number of times you've given a talk--even a well-received one--I can match that. I can't tell you how many times I've avoided events when I knew or suspected the speaker was going to opt for a well-worn presentation. Often, that means I miss some headliner speakers, but I don't miss the repeat preso. Don't assume that your audience is full of newcomers every time. If you're building a following, they'll follow you...and expect new content.
- How bored are you? I ask for an important reason: If the speaker's bored, then I'll be bored. Your interest level, excitement and motivation may be dimmed the more you give a particular preso. If you must repeat it, figure out some new ways to make it exciting once again for you, and for me.
- Have you adjusted the small details? A telltale sign of the recycled presentation are out-of-date titles, names, dates, and data. Make sure you take the time to proofread and update if you're reusing a presentation.
- What does it say about you? Trust that someone, perhaps many people, will know that you've given this or a similar talk before. Does that tell them you're dialing it in? Lacking time to update? Not concerned with tailoring your remarks to the group at hand? Think about how it looks to be giving a talk you've already delivered before you choose it as your topic.

Survey Shows Americans Looking for Holistic Financial Advice and Competent Advisers with a Financial Planning Certification
Nearly all Americans expect a financial adviser to take into account their entire financial situation with more than two-thirds wanting advisers to provide comprehensive financial planning services, according to a new survey released today by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board).
Conducted by survey research firm ORC International, the online survey of more than 1,000 Americans 18 years of age or older showed that 91 percent of those surveyed said they want their financial adviser to take into account their total financial situation. And 70 percent of those surveyed also said they would prefer to work with a financial adviser who provides comprehensive financial planning services, compared to 30 percent who said they want to work with someone who specializes only in one area such as retirement.
"As Americans' finances become more and more complex, they are turning to advisers who can partner with them, look at their total financial picture, put all the pieces together and provide a comprehensive financial plan," said CFP Board Chief Executive Officer Kevin R. Keller, CAE. "CFP® professionals are uniquely qualified to provide Americans with financial planning services and we hope current and future clients will ask their adviser to partner with them and create a comprehensive financial plan."
Certifications are also important to Americans when choosing a financial adviser, with 84 percent of those surveyed saying they play a role in choosing someone to work with. When it comes to what kind of certifications financial advisers should have, 87 percent said they would feel more confident working with someone who has a financial planning certification. Of those surveyed, 68 percent also preferred working with someone who has a certification or designation that "demonstrate(s) knowledge of multiple financial areas" such as investments, taxes, insurance and budgeting.
Another highlight of the survey showed that nearly half of those surveyed (48 percent) said "strong knowledge of financial planning" was most important to them in choosing a financial adviser, with 64 percent of those between the ages of 18 and 24 saying it was most important. The survey also showed that there seems to be an opportunity for current and prospective financial advisers, as only 41 percent of Americans report ever having worked with an adviser.
"As this survey shows, Americans want advisers who are competent in financial planning and have a designation to prove it," said Keller. "Fortunately for both advisers and the American public, the CFP® certification is the standard for financial planning, providing financial professionals with the tools they need to help clients put together a picture of their entire financial lives."
More information about the CFP® certification and how to earn it can be found at www.CFP.net/get-certified. Americans looking to learn more about financial planning and to find a CFP® professional in their area should visit www.LetsMakeaPlan.org.
Note on Methodology and Survey Report
The online survey was conducted August 8-11, 2013 among a national sample of 1,012 adults consisting of 504 men and 508 women 18 years of age and older. Results are weighted by age, gender, region, race and education to be representative of the U.S. adult population.

Though sunshine and warmer temperatures are in the forecast for the end of the week, officials warn drivers that melting snow isn't an automatic green light for normal driving.
Though sunshine and warmer temperatures are in the forecast for the end of the week, officials warn drivers that melting snow isn't an automatic green light for normal driving.
According to Beth Purcell, spokeswoman for the Jacksonville Police Department, slick roads will still be a factor in the days following the storm.
�In the aftermath of a winter weather event, we could be facing the impacts of low temperatures with winds and precipitation, such as slush or ice, on the roadway,� Purcell said. �This wintry mix can refreeze on ramps and bridges, creating dangerous icy spots.�
Sgt. R.E. Dudley of Highway Patrol also warned of ice's dangerous effect on roadways, citing bridges for their tendency to freeze quickly and thaw more slowly than other roadways due to their proximity to the water. Dudley also said drivers on tree-lined streets, especially in rural areas, will have to take special precautions when they take the road, since it�s harder for sunlight to penetrate the tree branches.
According to Dudley, slow travel on slushy roads is the safest way to go.
�Be careful to reduce your speed,� Dudley said. �If there's still slushy stuff on the road way, it's easier to lose control, especially when they come to a curve because you're not going in a straight line anymore. It's much easier for you to lose lateral stability in those conditions. If you lose lateral stability, you lose control.�
Dudley said people tend to �underestimate� secondary roads because the main roads tend to be relatively safe for travel sooner during the melting process. According to Dudley, though, that underestimation can lead to harmful and potentially fatal consequences. Dudley reiterated that when he mentions driving at a slower pace during the thawing process, he means it.
�If you're coming up to a shady spot on the road, that's a clue to reduce your speed to a crawl,� Dudley said. �If you come to a shady spot, take it down to about 10 MPH because it will probably have black ice on it. When you see that spot, start tapping your breaks and gradually reduce your speed. You'll want to do it well before you get to that spot on the road.�
In the hours leading up to a storm and during it, Lt. Sean Magill of the JPD advises drivers to stay off the road unless it's absolutely necessary for them to be out there. He said driving is still a tricky proposition due not only to the still abnormal conditions on the road, but also to the possibility of utility and street management crews at work on the road.
�Staying off the roadways allows for a safer environment and will allow everyone to get back to normal,� Magill said.
Dudley and Magill both said the North Carolina Department of Transportation is the most reliable source for the status of roads around the area and throughout the state. Motorists who want to know if it's safe to go about their normal driving habits can call the NCDOT at 511 or at 1-877-DOT-4YOU. Motorists can also go online to ncdot.gov/traffictravel to see the status of roads in every county in the state.

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - The Swedish state has sold its remaining 7 percent stake in Nordea, the region's biggest bank, giving the center-right coalition government another 21.6 billion crowns ($3.4 billion) to deploy in the national budget ahead of next year's election.
The latest sale was made on the first day the state was allowed to further reduce its stake after selling 260 million Nordea shares for $3 billion in June and takes total proceeds from Nordea sales during the government's years in office to $9.4 billion.
The government priced the latest sale of 284.2 million shares at 76 crowns per share, a 4 percent discount to Nordea's closing price of 79.20 crowns on Tuesday. Price guidance had been set at 75.50 to 76 crowns, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, while the discount was smaller than the 4.8 percent it offered in its last sale.
Final exits by a big shareholder, often known as clean-up trades, can usually be done at a tighter discount than previous sales as they remove the overhang effect on the stock. One of the sources said the offering was more than two times covered by demand.
Nordea's share price was down 2.7 percent at 77.10 crowns by 1021 GMT, when shares in rival Handelsbanken were down 1.5 percent at 280.90 crowns and Swedbank was 2.6 percent lower at 151.50 crowns.
The coalition government, which faces general elections next year and is trailing badly in polls, plans to use the proceeds to reduce state debt, already one of the lowest in Europe at about 30 percent of economic output.
It has long prioritized a full divestment of the state holding in Nordea, a legacy of the country's banking crisis in the 1990s, saying it is the role of the state to regulate banks not own them.
"In some sense, one could say today we put an end to the banking crisis which ravaged the 80s and 90s," Minister of Financial Markets Peter Norman said.
The sale also gives the government extra cash as it heads into a fierce battle for re-election next year. Plans to offload other assets such as its stake in telecoms operator TeliaSonera have been blocked by political opposition.
The minority government recently announced some $2.3 billion in income tax cuts as it strives to boost economic growth and secure a third term in office.
Last week the British government sold a 6 percent stake in banking group Lloyds for 3.2 billion pounds ($5 billion) ahead of a 2015 general election, recouping taxpayer cash five years after a bailout of both Lloyds and rival Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).
"It is very rare you have two consecutive jumbo placements in banks. There is a lot of demand out there for banks and investors are looking to rebuild positions," one of the sources familiar with the matter said.
Sweden is one of Europe's strongest economies, but unemployment has remained stubbornly high while voters are expressing greater concern over the nation's fast-widening income divide and skepticism over further changes to their beloved welfare system.
Privatization has been a hot potato, with Swedes growing suspicious of more welfare cuts following scandals over private care homes for the elderly and for-profit schools.
Sweden, which has served as a safe haven throughout the European debt crisis thanks to its strong fiscal position and healthy banks, has not yet revised its borrowing needs.
"This is money in, so of course it will have an effect," Thomas Olofsson, head of debt management at Sweden's National Debt Office, told Reuters.
He added, however, that the revenues were one of many factors he would have to consider ahead of the debt management agency's next forecast in late October.
Expectations for reduced state borrowing lifted the Swedish crown against the euro on Tuesday though it came under pressure after weak consumer and manufacturing confidence data on Wednesday to trade at 8.6768.
The Nordea sale was conducted through an accelerated bookbuilding directed at Swedish and international institutional investors.
Finnish insurance and investment group Sampo - Nordea's top shareholder with a stake of 21.4 percent - said it did not participate in the latest sale.
Sweden had appointed Morgan Stanley as global coordinator and joint bookrunner and BofA Merrill Lynch, Carnegie and Goldman Sachs International as joint bookrunners in the transaction. SEB served as co-lead manager.

A couple months more and they were all at about 99% symptom free and that has maintained for the last 5 months. It's expensive but I would HIGHLY recommend it.
You're giving them a canine supplement? Just confirming that, because I looked all over that site for a feline version and didn't find it. I have a kitten who will NOT get rid of her herpes symptoms. I have been giving her l-lysine supplements for months and just started a multi-vitamin a week or two ago, and she's a giant, snotty mess. Not a URI, although that's how it started, and it did revert back to one once. If that stuff is working for you, I might try it out if I don't see an improvement from the addition of the multi-vitamin in the next couple weeks. So I just wanted to confirm it is the canine supplement you're giving

EXL110, D'Addario's best selling set, offers the ideal combination of tone, flexibility and long life. The standard for most electric guitars.
EXL116 is a hybrid set with an .011 on top and a .052 on the bottom, giving the strings moderate flexibility on the high strings with booming, tight low end. Optimized for down tuning.
EXL117 is an extreme hybrid set, optimally designed for tuning guitars down a whole step to D, while maintaining a comfortable playing tension like that of a "light" gauge set.
EXL120, one of D'Addario's best selling sets, delivers super flexibility and biting tone. A standard for many electric guitars.
EXL125 is D'Addario's best selling hybrid set, combining the high strings from an EXL120 (.009) with the low strings from an EXL110 (.046). The result is a set with strong fundamental low end, but with super flexibility on the high strings.
EXL130 is D'Addario's lightest gauge string set. Great for beginners or players who require strings with the lightest possible tension and greatest ease of play.
EXL140 is one of D'Addario's most popular hybrid sets, combining the high strings from an EXL110 (.010) with heavier low strings (.052). This combination delivers powerful low end for heavy chording and flexible plain steel strings for bending. Optimized for down or drop tuning!
EXL145 is a popular choice for rock and metal where heavier gauges are required. A plain 3rd/G string offers more flexibility than traditional 12-gauge electric strings. Optimized for down tuning!
EXL148 is an extreme hybrid set, optimally designed for tuning guitars down to C, or for players who prefer a heavier gauge string.

Grand Junction dad may have put 6-year-old daughter in dump
Abigail "Abby" Blagg's smile with two front teeth missing could light up a room.
It's been 11 years now since anyone has seen Abby, who had freckles, a pug nose and short sandy blond hair.
She lived in a nice home in a cul-de-sac at 2253 Pine Terrace Court in the Redlands Mesa neighborhood in Mesa County near Grand Junction. The Blaggs were renting.
Her folks, Michael and Jennifer Blagg, had moved from Simpsonville, South Carolina 10 months earlier. They had also lived in Texas, California and Arizona over the course of 10 years. Neighbors would say they were reclusive but a model family, nonetheless.
Michael, 38, a former Navy lieutenant commander and helicopter pilot and nuclear engineer, was an operations manager at AMETEK Inc., which manufactures truck gauges. He would sometimes dash out of his office if he was needed at home.
Jennifer, 34, was a stay-at-home mom, who volunteered at Abby's school, Bookcliff Christian School, collected rocks and jewelry and took Jazzercise classes three days a week.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Founders Pavilion Violated Federal Law by Asking for Genetic Information From Applicants and Employees, Federal Agency Charges
NEW YORK - The Founders Pavilion, Inc., a Corning, N.Y., nursing and rehabilitation center, violated federal law by asking for genetic information during the hiring process, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today. The EEOC also alleged that Founders violated the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
According to the EEOC's suit, Founders conducted post-offer, pre-employment medical exams of applicants, which were repeated annually if the person was hired. As part of this exam, Founders requested family medical history, a form of prohibited genetic information.
Such alleged conduct violates the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), passed by Congress in 2008 and enforced by the EEOC. GINA prevents employers from demanding genetic information, including family medical history, and using that information in the hiring process. The EEOC filed suit (Case No. 6:13-cv-06250) in U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York in Rochester after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The Founders suit is the second ever GINA lawsuit filed by the EEOC, following a complaint and consent decree filed in Tulsa, Okla., last week against Fabricut, Inc.
The EEOC further charged that Founders fired one employee after it refused to accommodate her during her probationary period,in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Further, the lawsuit also charged that Founders fired two women because of perceived disabilities under the ADA, and either refused to hire or fired three women because they were pregnant, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
"GINA applies whenever an employer conducts a medical exam, and employers must make sure that they or their agents do not violate the law," said Elizabeth Grossman, the regional attorney in the EEOC's New York District Office. "Here, not only did the employer ask for prohibited information, it also discriminated against individuals with disabilities or perceived disabilities as well as pregnant women."
Kevin Berry, the EEOC's district director in New York, added, "Congress's intent is clear: employers cannot obtain genetic information from applicants or employees."
One of the six national priorities identified by the EEOC's Strategic Enforcement Plan (SEP) is for the agency to address emerging and developing issues in equal employment law, which includes genetic discrimination.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

DWTS Off Topic: New York Giant's Victor Cruz Does A Salsa In The End Zone!
Did anyone see New York Giant's wide receiver, Victor Cruz, do a "Salsa" in the end zone after he made a touch down on Sunday? Unless the Chicago Bears are playing, I rarely watch football, but, I just happened to see this scene go down while bringing hubby a snack (while he was watching the game). Priceless!! This guy should do Dancing With The Stars!! Below is Salsa instructor Jason Myra talking about it. You can also read more about Victor, his dance, and the game at the NY Daily.
NOTE: This is not a rumor and it currently has nothing to do with Dancing With The Stars…well, unless TPTB has seen him and decides to ask Victor to dance at some point? Very sexy Salsa, Victor Cruz!

a) "Nothing and Nowhere" was re-released in Dec 2004, with new artwork and precisely the same recordings found on the original. For a time it was only available through the band at live shows or through mail order. As of June 5, 2007 it was available through Metropolis Records, and therefore, easily attainable. Get it HERE. The original "Nothing And Nowhere" CD from 2002, was a limited edition of 500.
b) Ha. The Band only has -one- of the 40. The other 39??
Q14) Why are there multiple versions of "Violet"?
The band recorded/distributed the "Violet" EP completely independently in 2004, and shortly after, record labels approached them to carry the album. In order for TBM to debut properly on this larger scale, it was decided a full length LP would best represent the band and satisfy new listeners. Four tracks from the previous album were resurrected, re-recorded and the whole record was re-mastered making the "Violet" LP. Other variations are simply in packaging for release in different countries.
Q15) Have they covered any songs?
Yes, they recorded a version of Limahl's "The Never Ending Story". Not officially released, it can be found on the internet. They've done a live cover of Mindless Self Indulgence's "Straight To Video", and recently on the "Looking Glass" EP they had a cover of "I Think We're Alone Now".
Q16) Where can I get "Make Believe" and "Velvet"?
"Make Believe" and "Velvet" have never been recorded by The Birthday Massacre although they are the band's songs. Played live as Imagica, but not recorded. Two audio clips often found on the internet claim to be those two songs but are actually short clips of other barely begun, unnamed tracks.
Q17a) Ok, so, how many versions of 'Happy Birthday" have been released?
b) And the other songs?
a) There are 3. The "Imagica" demo version (then titled 'The Birthday Massacre'), the second demo version (same as on Nothing and Nowhere) and the 'Violet' LP version.
b) Since 4 songs from the first Imagica Demo were re-recorded for N&N, and 4 songs from N&N were re-recorded for 'Violet', AND all the tracks from the 'Violet' EP were re-mastered for the LP....most songs exist in two versions/mixes (if you count a re-master as a different version). The songs Promise Me, Nothing and Nowhere, Queen of Hearts and Nighttime have been done once. Got all that?
Q18) Where can I buy Birthday Massacre Merch? Can I get CDs/Merch even though I don't live in Canada?
Lots of places and Yes.
Cds are often available in Hot Topic, Best Buy, Tower records, Circuit City, FYE, HMV, etc. Record stores that don't have it in stock CAN order it if you ask!
iTunes (will launch player)
Kill The 8 <-Canada, but ships anywhere!
METROPOLIS RECORDS MAILORDER <---ships WORLDWIDE.
Amazon.de <---European releases
Amazon.ce <---Canada!!
Q19) How do I contact the band?
Professional/booking inquiries only: email@example.com
Other: You may get lucky on the Official Message board or perhaps facebook/twitter etc. When time permits, the band does read the board and the community groups, and they are VERY grateful for everyone's support!!
Q20) Has any member of the band been on any other projects?
Yes. Chibi appears on a Rainbow/TBM remix of Vanity Beach's "The Knight Murders" and in 2009 recorded the vocals for WWE's Katie Lea Burchill's entrance theme.
Owen was/is in "Electric Knife Fight"
Rhim was in "Aphasia"(eventually became "A.P.E.") and "Lynch" -recorded albums for both and has also worked with Fallon Bowman as well.
Various members of TBM worked on remixes of the Mindless Self Indulgence tracks "Straight to Video" and "Never Wanted To Dance"
Rainbow has done remixes/contributed guitar tracks for Vanity Beach, Funker Vogt, Left Spine Down, Dope Stars Inc., and assisted in recording Ill Attire's album.
O.E. is the vocalist/mastermind of "Isle of Dogs" (formerly Ill Attire).
Nate has with a ton of artists including: Amen and Wednesday 13.
(Thanks Simon for your original faq this was based upon!)

In this new post to his blog Sebastian Bergmann looks at how to use Bazaar (a dstributed version control system) in his development the PHPUnit tool.
Last December, when I was in Australia and started to work on the Object_Freezer code, I "dived into" Bazaar (bzr) and learned the value of local commits as they allow me to work offline, e.g. when disconnected during travel. Thanks to bzr-svn, I can now work offline for PHPUnit development as well.
He shares his setup - a local shared repository for branching/trunk work and a linked checkout of PHPUnit between Bazaar and Subversion. This allows him to commit locally with Bazaar and, when he gets back online, issue a "merge" command to make the push back out to Subversion's remote repository.

"An institution like Penn State exists to discover what nobody knows yet, and to share that new knowledge with the public. A MOOC gives us another chance to do just that." —Professor Richard Alley
Richard Alley considered "Energy, the Environment, and our Future," a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) he taught for the first time during spring semester 2014, to be a great laboratory for new teaching ideas. Although it took a lot of effort from the course designers and the overall team, switching from one big stand-alone lecture, typical of some online courses, to dozens of short lectures with multimedia aspects made the course much more interesting to students, he said.
Who enrolled
The free course, which expanded on a book that Dr. Alley, Evan Pugh Professor of Geosciences, wrote and a PBS television series that he hosted called "Earth: The Operator's Manual," had to be interesting enough to catch the attention of more than 45,000 enrolled students, of whom more than 22,000 accessed the course site during the eight-week session. The enrolled students were from every continent except Antarctica, and more than 81 percent were born outside the United States. The average student age was 35.5 years old; about 62 percent were men, 38 percent women; about 45 percent were employed full time, with a mix of unemployed, part-time, self-employed, and retired making up rest.
The diversity in background, age, language, etc., was both a strength and a challenge, Dr. Alley said, adding that the discussions among and contributions from the students were fascinating. "Having them tell us something about energy use in their family, for example, gained a broader range of feedback than would occur in a typical class for resident students."
"But, more than the differences, I was impressed with the similarities—they are students, they want to learn, we want to teach, we can make this work," he said.
"This class had wonderful diversity of people and it was a sign to me that people care about our planet all over the world. It will take us all to make big changes."—Student
How it was taught
Lecturer and Learning Designer April Millet, part of the John A. Dutton e-Learning Institute team for this MOOC, pointed out that delivery of the content isn't much different from any other type of online course. The difference is the scale that MOOC platforms allow in reaching a huge number of students at one time.
"Providing any instruction online can be challenging, but providing it to potentially over 100,000 people can seem impossible," Millet said. "The MOOC platform developers have figured out how to make it happen with few issues that the student is aware."
Many of the MOOCs connected with Coursera (the education platform that Penn State is working with) use long lecture videos, she said. But, "We decided to go with predominantly text to transmit our message with short videos to supplement the instruction. Students seemed to enjoy this a lot, and we received feedback to that effect."
Making sure that students were engaged in the subject matter was a team effort. Dr. Seth Blumsack, associate professor of energy policy and economics at Penn State, also was an instructor in the course, preparing information to ensure that it was appealing and relevant, including chapters he wrote about solar and wind energy.
Dr. Alley felt it was important to mix the ways the information was being presented in order to keep students tuned into the content: "Rather than me standing in front of a camera for an hour doing a lecture and then being done, we did a mix of short films and 'animated graphs.'"
As an example, Dr. Alley described a course content sequence that involved a field trip for him and his "dear wife, Cindy." At a local lake where a recent water-level drawdown had revealed sediments deposited under the water, the Alleys kayaked, stirring up mud along the way to illustrate the release of methane, discussing the ways sediment and dead plant material can lead to fossil fuels.
"Then we went to the rocks beneath (and exposed in the bank) to talk about the same sorts of things in older rocks. A few minutes from this, and then back to text, and then to a clip from the PBS TV series I helped make. Then we'd come to a graph, and clicking on it would get me talking, with notations appearing as I wrote them, to explain the graph," he said. "More work, but as it turns out, a great way to get information to students, who seem to like short, concise presentations. I intend to bring this back to Penn State courses."
"Thank you for taking the time to educate people on a subject you clearly have a lot of passion for. We need the passion to spread. I cannot express my gratitude enough for what you do to help our future." —Student
The course
The problem of energy demand increasing as reserves of fossil fuels decrease served as an underlying theme of the course. The lessons covered proposed solutions by explaining the science behind alternatives to fossil fuel energy sources, such as wind and solar power.
Alley described the way the course began as a long history of converging threads. "Penn State committed to doing some MOOCs, and put out a call," he said. "Ann Taylor, director of the Dutton e-Education Institute, realized the power of combining their strengths with our joint experience in online education in the past, and with the PBS TV miniseries 'Earth: The Operators' Manual' (Geoff Haines-Stiles and Erna Akuginow, director and producer, NSF-funded), based on the book of the same name I wrote."
"We had three hours of TV by great people on this key subject, enough background to make a textbook (or several), and a team to put it together. So, as Ann put it together, it was a great idea."
Each week the students were assigned an activity, a discussion question and a quiz. Coursera's Discussion Forums were used for both the submission of activities and discussion question responses.
Millet summed up some of the day-to-day details of the course. "Our course mantra was that the course was as much about the discussion as it was about the science, so we decided this would encourage discussion. Because there were potentially several tens of thousands of responses, we knew we would not be able to provide feedback to every student. So we decided to make sure that the quizzes all covered the most important information and had detailed feedback."
For the activities and the discussions, she said, the team made sure that the students were focused on the science and not personal, political, or religious opinion. The students in the course provided a lot of valuable feedback to each other, she added.
"This is what is so different about MOOCs. A majority of the students in our MOOC had college degrees, many of them master's level or higher," Millet said. "Our teaching assistants would step in if someone was not adhering to the standards that we set for our discussion forums or if someone was providing misinformation."
The main avenue for two-way communication was the Discussion Forums, she said. A Facebook page was created for students to interact socially. Two emails were sent out each week to keep students informed and motivated. These were turned into "Announcements" automatically, so the information was always available, Millet said.
"I want to thank everyone involved in organizing this course, and especially Professor Alley for a brilliant and fun introduction into our energy needs and potential, and views on environmental sustainability."—Student
Summing up
Dr. Alley and the entire MOOC team count the course as a success, a chance to reach an international audience of students, interact and exchange knowledge, explain concepts in way that might not otherwise be possible without technology, and an opportunity to convey the passion that Dr. Alley feels about the urgency of protecting planet Earth.
Considering an online delivery system, Dr. Alley said that all is well as long as the team is watchful, as this one was. Working out new problems that occur during a MOOC, unique to a huge, international enrollment, can help inform and improve courses that students pay tuition to take, he said. "Teaching a MOOC provides opportunities to learn how to teach better for tuition-paying Penn Staters," Dr. Alley said. "This is especially true in understanding international issues, because more and more international students are attending Penn State in person or online. Both technical details (Does YouTube work in your country?) and issues of background, language, etc., can be explored in a MOOC."
Alley credits the entire team for making the successful MOOC possible. "This was especially April, and Sing [Wong, Dutton Institute lecturer/learning designer], and Ann … Seth Blumsack; plus head TA Mike, volunteer TAs; my wife, Cindy, for filming and other help; and a few more."
"We went in with a workable plan that especially came from April," Dr. Alley said, "and with a division of responsibility that made it work."

There are other things that introduce moisture into the house, cooking, showers with no fan, house plants, damp basement or crawlspace, etc. Get a humidity gauge and check that, it should be below 50% during winter. Much above that and you will get condensation when the temps are right.

-------------Window condensation --------------by Oberon
The reason why there is condensation on the interior of your windows has a really simple explanation the surface temperature of the window is below the dew point temperature of the air in your home thats it a very simple explanation.
Unfortunately, the reason that the window surface temperature is below the dew point temperature can potentially become somewhat more complex, but I am going to offer a few thoughts and even throw in a few numbers that I hope might help your situation.
In the summer, when you pull something cold and refreshing out of the refrigerator, and the air is warm and humid, that cold and refreshing beverage container suddenly and quite magically becomes instantly wet just as soon as it is exposed to the air. What has happened is that the temperature of the container fresh from the refrigerator is below the dew point temperature of the air which has caused condensation on the outside of that container.
What happens to your windows in the fall and winter is that the surface of the glass is below the dew point temperature of the air in your home which is causing condensation on the surface of that glass.
Dew point is defined as saturation vapor density...or put in simpler terms, when the air reaches 100% relative humidity and can hold no more moisture.
Relative humidity is, well, relative.
Relative humidity is a comparison of the actual vapor density versus the saturation vapor density at a particular temperature. Basically, dew point is 100% relative humidity or the point where the air - at that temperature - is no longer able to hold any more moisture. If the air has reached vapor saturation (100% relative humidity), then the air will release moisture...be it on the outside of that cold beverage container in the summer time, or be it on the interior glass surface of your windows in the winter time, it makes no difference. If the surface temperature happens to be below freezing, then that moisture becomes frost or even ice.
In order to stop condensation from forming on the surface of a window, you either have to lower the dew point temperature of the air in your home to a level below the dew point temperature of the window surface, or you have to warm up the window surface to a temperature above the dew point temperature of your home, or a combination of both.
Lowering the relative humidity of the air in your home MAY have absolutely no effect on controlling window condensation and I bet that that statement is a bit of a surprise to some folks it is true however.
There are two ways to lower relative humidity increase air temperature or decrease moisture content. If you increase the air temperature you will lower the relative humidity but you will not change the dew point - which is based on the amount of water vapor in the air and is not based on the temperature of the air.
The amount of moisture in the air is measured in grams per cubic meter, which is kind of nice for our metric folks but not so nice for our non-metric folks; but the metric version is much easier on the calculator than the English version. However, in the interest of making this stuff easier to understand for all of us non-metric types, I am going to use Fahrenheit rather than Celsius temperatures in the calculations.
Okay consider your home at 65 degrees F and with a relative humidity reading of 40%. There are 6.25 grams of water in a cubic meter of air in your home in that particular scenario - which then equates to a dew point temperature of 38 degrees F. So at 38 degrees the air will be at 100% relative humidity or at saturation vapor density.
Now, if your neighbor keeps her house at 75 degrees, but she also has 6.25 grams of water per cubic meter in her air, then the relative humidity in her home is 29% - versus your 40%. But, and heres the kicker, the dew point temperature in her home is still 38 degrees.
While the relative humidity in her home is much lower than is the relative humidity in yours; if the surface temperature of the windows in her home is 35 degrees she will have condensation on those windows yet if the surface temperature of your windows is 40 degrees only five degrees warmer you will not have condensation on your windows.
So, while her handy humidity gauge reads (correctly) only 29% RH she has a condensation problem.
While your handy humidity gauge reads (correctly) 40% RH you dont have a condensation problem SWEET well, for you anyway, not her.
If your home hygrometer measures the relative humidity in your home at 60% while the temperature of your home is 70 degrees, you will have a dew point temperature of about 51 degrees meaning that if the temperature of the window surface is below 51 degrees then you will have condensation - so now we talk a little more specifically about windows.
The interior surface temperature of a single lite of glass, when the temperature outside is 0 degrees F and the inside air temperature is 70 degrees, will be about 16 degrees.
Add a storm window on the outside and the surface temperature of the inside lite jumps up to about 43 degrees a huge improvement.
But these are center-of-glass readings and not the temperature readings at the edge of the window where condensation usually forms. A typical clear glass dual pane window is going to have center-of-glass temperature reading pretty much the same as a single pane with a storm.
However, if that dual pane has a LowE coating and an argon gas infill then the center-of-glass temperature will be about 57 degrees a 14 degree improvement over a clear glass dual pane or a single pane with storm window but again, and more importantly, there will be a comparable edge of glass improvement as well, particularly if the IGU (Insulating Glass Unit) was manufactured using a warm edge spacer system. Also, the dual pane is going to have desiccant between the glass layers. Desiccant absorbs moisture keeping the inside of the dual pane system very dry.
The advantage? If it gets cold enough outside, the temperature in the airspace between the lites can get very low. By keeping that space dry, it helps to keep the dew point temperature very low as well; something not always possible when using a single pane and storm window.
Although a single pane with a good and tight storm window can help the interior lite to avoid condensation (when compared with a single lite and no storm), the storm window itself will frost up when the temperature is low enough at a temperature usually well above the temperature that will cause the dual pane to ice up. It is unavoidable given the right circumstances
So what does a window temperature of 57 degrees mean? Well, as I mentioned earlier a home kept at 70 degrees with a 60% relative humidity has a dew point temperature of 51 degrees so it is unlikely that there will be condensation problem on those particular windows despite the relatively high relative humidity in the home.
But what happens to the dew point if you keep your home at 70 degrees and you have a 65% relative humidity? Well, for one thing the dew point has jumped up to 57 degrees which we have already noted is the same as the window temperature. For another thing, anyone with 65% relative humidity in a home at 70 degrees has way too much moisture in their air and they are in serious need of some sort of ventilation system or at least several good exhaust fans!
Somewhere back in this post I mentioned that lowering the relative humidity in your home may not help control condensation that is still true IF the relative humidity is lowered because of an increase in temperature. But, lowering the relative humidity by removing water is a different story because in that case you will also be lowering the dew point as you lower the relative humidity and that WILL help to control condensation on your windows.
