I normally use this methodfor(var i:int = 0; i < array.length; i++){ if(array[i].hitTestObject(randomObject) { array[i].parent.removeChild(array[i]); array.splice(i, 1); i--; }}but I have recently found that you can also do thisfor(var i:int = array.length-1; i > = 0; i--){ if(array[i].hitTestObject(randomObject) { array[i].parent.removeChild(array[i]); array.splice(i, 1); }}What is the method you use the most? and why?Looping forward or backwards. Or perhaps you have a different method for looping through arrays.
Assuming you are trying to organize collisions of objects. Would it be more efficient if the object itself could detect its own collision and remove itself from the program? you could use a Static variable to track any child of the class. that way.If you want speed in this there might be a better data structure then an array.
I am doing some code cleanup and optimization, and am trying to find the best method to use.I currently checking the collision in the game class. I can set it up to have the collision in the child using a static variable which I am already using. But what is most efficient method, I don't know.I have not taken that route due to the mindset where if 2 children are detecting collision as soon as they collide, whichever is the first that is detecting the collision will be removed while the other will never detect it.There are different route's to take and I would really like to see a prime example of a working method.

Fox Will Hype Simon's X Factor, Spielberg's Dinosaurs, and Glee During Super Bowl
We've got the big 'Glee' promo in advance.
While ads for beer, cars, and soda will probably dominate Sunday's post–Super Bowl discussion of the Big Game's big ads, we here at Vulture are most keen to check out the movies and TV shows that'll be hyped during the annual marketing orgy. On the film side, Ad Age says we can expect to see trailers for Captain America: The First Avenger, Rio, Rango, Transformers 3, Kung Fu Panda 2, Thor,Cowboys & Aliens and Super 8. As for TV, Sunday will give Super Bowl network Fox the chance to build buzz for a slew of its own current and upcoming shows. CBS raised the bar last year with its in-house Oprah-Dave-Jay spot, so what can Fox do to get tongues wagging? Two words: Simon and dinosaurs.
While nothing's locked yet, Fox marketing chief Joe Earley and his team are furiously working to cut teaser spots for two of Fox's big guns for 2011: May's debut of prehistoric action-adventure Terra Nova and the fall premiere of Simon Cowell's The X-Factor. In the case of Terra Nova, the Super Bowl will be the first time general audiences will get a peek at the very expensive Steven Spielberg production (a press preview of footage last month generated solid reviews). As for X, Fox has aired some generic ads in recent months touting the show's arrival, but there's a good chance Sunday will mark the first time Cowell himself will appear to hype X. (Nobody at Fox would confirm that Friday.)
Not surprisingly, two shows debuting next week — The Chicago Code and the horribly titled comedy Traffic Light — will get exposure, but the network will also spend plenty of time promoting shows already on the air, with football-themed spots focusing on House and the Sunday animation block. There'll be some love for Idol, and of course there'll be Glee — lots and lots of Glee. We've got one of the Glee spots scheduled to run Sunday (perhaps in a slightly modified form) posted below for your pregame pleasure.

England coach John Wells was among the supporters at Sixways Stadium for the 27-7 victory that took Warriors to the top of the league going into the weekend games.
Ruddock later revealed England had also sent cameras to the game to watch players and believes his young guns would have impressed after playing key roles in the big win.
"We are very proud of these youngsters that are coming through, people like Tom Wood, Matt Mullan, Graham Kitchener when he came on," said Director of Rugby Ruddock. "They are examples of guys who are really starting to mature for us now.
"We have a first class relationship with England. Martin Johnson has been down this summer with John Wells and Graham Rowntree and they have been asking about different players, Matt Mullan in particular, and watching them."
Back row dynamo Tom Wood again shone for Warriors under the floodlights at Ruddock claimed on his form the flanker was displaying form that would make the England selectors sit up and take note.
"We have been very impressed with Woody and he is maturing nicely," he added.
"Woody is carrying the ball now, something we have been asking him to do for a few years, because we know he can graft and do the hard yards, in and around the ruck and the contact area.
"He is showing up very well and taking the ball on, side stepping and accelerating away.
"In that sort of form he is going to put himself into contention for England Saxons honours."

i am wondering how long does it take a quail to lay an egg? how long will it take to lay a fertile eggs? does quail need special feed or will starter feed work for them? btw its bob white quail
I believe Bobs take up to 6 months. Coturnix start in 8 weeks.
Mine were 6 1/2 weeks and 7 1/2 weeks yesterday, and I got my first egg. I'm not sure who laid it, though.
bob whites take up to 6 months?
Bobwhites are a lot slower to muture then coturnix. I believe it is 12 weeks. I could be wrong
We picked up week old bobwhite quail in July of 2008 and just started getting eggs beginning of May 2009. I read that may be because they don't lay in winter. I still don't get one a day.
Bobwhites are mature at 16 weeks, but can take 20-24 weeks before laying their first eggs.
oh okay. thanks for the info. what do quail eat? starter feed hurt them?
Gamebird feed is optimal but nonmedicated starter will work too. Give them green veggies to munch on to. They also enjoy sand for dustbathing and grit.

Atelieri O. Haapala at Vapriikki-Vintage
Ooh la la! Here are the neo-Victorian portraits that Atelieri O. Haapala took of Jirina, Michelle and I at Vapriikki-Vintage last month. I had always wanted an Atelieri portrait but, for one reason or another, I always missed out on their events before (needless to say, the main reason being the fact that I lived outside of Finland for years). So this was my very first time of being photographed by them - and I think the results are just dreamy! I'm very pleased to finally have my very own Atelieri O. Haapala portrait.
12 comments:
So terrifically lovely! You both look gorgeous and suit these Victorian inspired hues wonderfully.
These marvelous shots remind me of one of the entries on my bucket list - to have a modern daguerreotype of myself taken.
♥ JessicaThe colour and textures are just as gorgeous as the three of you in these fabulous shots, wow!

You'd have thought, what with it being the most recognised song in the English language, that we'd have got the hang of singing "Happy Birthday To You". But we haven't. It's been around for more than a century, but its melodic leaps and poetic scansion continue to defeat us on a daily basis. I've witnessed renditions of "Happy Birthday To You" that aren't so much a celebration of the anniversary of someone's birth as an experimental tone poem that Yoko Ono phoned in a bit earlier.
The song was supposedly written in 1893 by two sisters, Patty and Mildred Hill. Patty was the head of a kindergarten, and she reckoned that children would find it easy to sing. But this song is far from easy. There are two potentially catastrophic stumbling blocks in "Happy Birthday To You", the first coming right at the beginning, as someone walks slowly into the room carrying a blazing cake as if it were made of hazardous waste. The first note is generally chosen by the most enthusiastic singer, but this is the worst person to be left in charge of this crucial task. Anyone feeling vaguely excitable will choose a note that's way too high. Nota bene: the first note of "Happy Birthday To You" is the lowest note in the whole song. Pitch it too high, and by the time you reach the third "Birthday" everyone will be squealing like they've had a tureen of hot tea thrown in their face.
And just as everyone's reeling from this shock to the larynx, they only have the word "dear" to recover before being thrust into the next calamity: how to fit the name or names into the two notes that have been provided for this purpose. If you're celebrating Rhodri's birthday, you're fine. If you're at Srinivasaraghavan's 60th, it's more tricky. If you're at a joint birthday party for Alexandria, Oluwadamilola and Maximilian, you might begin "Happy Birthday To You" in the most joyous of spirits, but by the third line a grim cloud of doubt and uncertainty will have descended over the assembled throng.
Everyone will mumble the three names in a different order, the song will lose momentum, candles will spontaneously extinguish and the cake will sink in the middle. My advice: hire a pianist to turn up with a portable keyboard and some song sheets. My rates are reasonable.

Near-Earth orbit is packed with satellites, essential to communication and navigation back on Earth. But many of those satellites are aging, so what happens when they break down, or need refueling?
Simply ditching the satellites would be wasteful — it costs many millions of dollars to build and launch a satellite — and then there's the fact that it's getting pretty crowded up there.
SCIENCE CHANNEL VIDEO: Spaced Out: Space Trash
The obvious solution is to send astronauts up to make the necessary repairs, thereby extending the lifetime of an ailing satellite, but this is expensive and risky (especially for the astronauts). In the case of more distant satellites, it might not even be feasible. So NASA is funding research on developing remotely operated robotic systems that might be up to the challenge.
Enter the engineers of Johns Hopkins University, who helped pioneer medical robotic surgeries with the invention of the Da Vinci console that enables surgeons to steer surgical robots through complicated surgical procedures. They think a good solution is to adapt that system to remotely manipulate space robots to perform "long distance surgery" satellites.
ANALYSIS: Robotic 'Sticky Boom' Lets You Grab Stuff in Space
Here's how the Da Vinci system works:
"Pencil-sized robotic surgical instruments allow heart surgeons to perform operations through a centimeter-long hole in the patient's chest. In a procedure that greatly lessens the need to cut into tissue – thus reducing postoperative pain and recovery time – doctors insert robotic instruments through minute "ports" in the body.
The Da Vinci surgical system is already being used in Europe, although it has yet to earn FDA approval in the United States. But the potential for its use by NASA is obvious.
Last November, Johns Hopkins engineers gave a preview demonstration of the Da Vinci system adapted for satellites at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. It's the same console as that used for surgery, as well as a 3D eyepiece for remote operation, and haptic (touch) feedback so the operator can "feel" his or her way around the object.
Later this year, the system will face a tougher challenge when it runs through a complicated satellite repair simulation in which a remote-controlled robot must cut through the plastic tape securing the thermal insulation blanket on a satellite. It's impossible to make repairs to the refueling port without doing that, and the task requires precise control.
OPINION: Never Send a Machine to Do a Human's Job
The need for a remote operator poses other potential problems, namely a substantial signal delay between operator and robot, which makes navigation even more difficult because of the distance from earth to space.
But if the Hopkins engineers meet that challenge, NASA will have a viable solution to the satellite repair conundrum: launching remotely manned robots to perform surgery in space.

Good Points
Fun to use, clear voice directions and clear maps.
Bad Points
Loses satellite signal too easily, maps hopelessly out-of-date and TomTom website doesn't work well.
General Comments
The TomTom Go 910 is fun to use and generally works quite well but the maps let it down. I bought it in October 06, and quite a few newer roads are absent, for example, the Lamberhurst Bypass (a trunk route on the A21) isn't on it and it's been open for a year and a half!
The thing that attaches it to the windscreen is difficult to use because the bit you have to turn to attach it is poorly designed and behind the unit, so difficult to get it. Even if you do manage to fix it on, it doesn't hold the unit rigid as it's supposed to, which means it gradually tilts down as you drive along.
There were also big areas where there is no signal, on the A27 for example, it works fine west-east but not east-west! Try to make a comment about any of this on the TomTom website and you'll find the feedback section doesn't work.

text: All the Lost Mars MissionsAnnalee Newitz5/27/08 1:00pmFiled to: MarsSpace TravelScienceSpaceTop201EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Currently there are six Earth satellites in orbit around Mars, and three Earth robots on the surface. The latest robot to land, the Phoenix Lander, touched down on Sunday afternoon. But as Oobject reminds us, there are at least 12 missions to Mars that have been lost. Pictured is Mars 1, a satellite sent to Mars in 1962 by the Soviet Union, whose communications were lost while it was en route to the red planet. Another famous lost mission was the Polar Lander, which vanished mysteriously near the Martian south pole several years ago (pictured below). Advertisement The Polar Lander, launched in 1999, was zooming along just fine until communication was lost on entry into the atmosphere. Most speculate that it simply malfunctioned and crashed, though none of the satellites currently in orbit have imaged the remains. Perhaps for this reason, there has been a lot of lively speculation that it may have been destroyed by an alien outpost. So far, no aliens have harmed any of the other robots on Mars — including the Phoenix Lander, which is also in a polar region (the north pole). Check out ten more ill-fated robots and satellites who never made it to their Martian destination. Advertisement 12 Mars Mission Failures [Oobject]Reply20 repliesLeave a reply

Shoot Like a Painter, Think Like an Artist - by Dan BallardDan Ballard is a Professional Fine Art Photographer from Colorado and is a member of our Pro Team. He has an extensive portfolio of award winning landscape and travel images. Dan's images have been on display around US museums and galleries, and he has sold images to clients around the globe, including The National Geographic Society. His use of rich colors and compelling composition take you on a journey to some of the world's most beautiful and far reaching corners. Today Dan shares some insight on how to create a powerful image. Shoot Like a Painter, Think Like an Artist - by Dan Ballard Photography is Art
Simplicity is one of the most important words in photography. The most common mistake I see people make when they are first starting out is not taking clean simple images. Would you really hand paint a trash can in the corner of your mountain painting? Would you paint a tree branch coming in from the top right that has nothing to do with anything else in the painting? Look for simple scenes that only have a few elements, and always be completely aware of everything in your image. Do you want everything that is in the frame in the picture? If not, many times by moving only a few feet or even a few inches you can exclude an unwanted object from your shot.

Are you kidding also? That's a gross exaggeration, a few toe taps on the upbeat that never get in the way. I think we can forgive that in an exhibition. Yes, he gives her time, and why not? That isn't back leading from her. You can see that amongst experienced dancers in WCS and the various jive style dances. Salsa and Latin dances even more so at times. No Lapis, no calesitas, no enrosques, not even a volcada. But there is an off-axis carousel but then again, it's an exhibition. It's still a very different dance from all the explanations being bandied about in this thread. No she would not. The partner's role is to stay with the man, not power him nor him heave her about. Any pivot is a result of the power of chest rotation, my partner is already with me - she is always with me. Maybe so, but I've tried to clarify that for better understanding.
I'm not seeing what you're seeing, about the woman or Vidort. I would happily dance with her in a heart-beat, and anticipate enjoying every single beat.
Your interpretation of "art" may be looser than mine. Rather than really go off topic then maybe we should start a thread on Tango as Art/Is Tango Art or something like that. Permission to start using your quote(s) as well as mine?
Funny that you find this tiresome considering you started it. This thread is about "how to do enrosque". If you don't like doing enrosque in your style of dancing, how about you just not post in the thread?
And at other times Ricardo Vidort can be seen leaning slightly backwards, maybe it's an illusion but he goes back on his heels. He does what is necessary, that's what dancing as one body with four legs requires. Oh dear, a rubber stick! Moving on . . . you have written before about a disconnected torso but there is little disconnected about Liz Haight. It may be more difficult to sense her weight changes because she is on the balls of her feet and ankle flex absorbs the messages but I can't imagine that would have bothered Ricardo Vidort much. The only "disconnect" I see is that actually the dissociation required for the molinette in the turns in order to avoid turning the chest away. In other words, the pelvis swivelling for the legs separately from the chest. So moving the torso as one block is not this dance at its best. The more extensive the rotation, the bigger can be the turn. It should and can be helped by the man's complementary dissociation. It was missing from RV, but he was quite ill by this time and about 75 I believe. There probably is no video of Ricardo Vidort at his best. I disagree about Liz slowing him down in corridas and giros - she enables the turns. All of us are limited or complemented by our partners depending on relevant abilities and compatibility.
I consider taps, flicks etc to be adornments/embellishments. You apparently do not. The statement was made that he doesn't embellish.. in my view he does, and would not be doing so that naturally if he only did it in performance, IMO. We don't need to discuss that further here. I never said it was. I was merely pointing out that both of the people in the video were embellishing (by my definition) it wasn't a statement about backleading. I accept that you may have a different preference, but it does not make me wrong. The leader indicates that he wants me to continue going around by how he holds his chest. In order to stay with his chest, I must keep stepping around. He might give no power to the circular movement beyond how he holds his chest. If I added no power, we wouldn't go anywhere, and I wouldn't be staying with him because of the position of his chest in relation to mine. It's to stay in front of him that I have to keep going. The amount of power I have to give is variable from none to a lot. HE determines whether I need power or not, just as HE determines that I keep going. Oh for pete's sake... we'll just have to agree to disagree, I think. I would be interested in an answer to my question about whether you ever pivot on one foot while the follower does the molinete around you. If you do, I'd be interested to know how you make yourself go around if she adds no power to the circular movement. That would be in keeping with what the OP was asking (anyone heard from him since or did we scare him off?). I don't see any point in further discussion of it until you have clarified this. If you don't ever do that kind of pivot, then I don't see how you can claim it is or isn't done, and once again, further discussion of it with you is pointless.
Note that things also happen behind the scenes. I have a pretty good idea what the consensus here is, and if you all want to go at each other, it's pretty much OK with me as long as you stay within the guidelines. While these are supposed to be discussions, if you simply can't toletate certain posts, I suggest that you ignore them and agree to disagree. I have great respect for all of you, and have never had to lock a thread, or give anyone a penalty or time out, so I ask that everyone think about letting this go.
If you look at how firm Vidort's torso is as he moves, you can compare it to Liz's torso which is noticeably flexible. That slight flex absorbs energy from the leader making the connection to the feet weaker. And, tbh, it doesn't seem like Vidort is really expressing the music as best he can. I don't see a problem with hip disassociation during the molinete, just when it isn't required. I really like the video of him dancing with Alejandra Todaro at Lo de Celia's from http://www.tangoandchaos.org/chapt_5video/33ricardo.htm. But I can see the flex in her body!
I don't think of actually doing molinete's. If they occur, it will be because of the music requires it. Also, it may really just be a 180 turn to get out of tight situations, i.e. floorcraft. There is the academic enrosque and then the incidental enrosque. The first is a dance class step. The one we're talking about usually just happens on a crowded floor. I'm perfectly happy with the definition X 100. In close embrace, you probably won't even feel that an enrosque was done. You'll just feel like you were moved around him. The REAL tango isn't in BA. The REAL tango is music. If one listened to the music, one can get a pretty good idea about how it feels to move to it. This is one type of enrosque but it would be inappropriate on a crowded dance floor. Two feet down offers the best stability and ease of navigation. That being said, I can pivot on one foot to lead a giro but I don't do it on a crowded floor, just when I'm screwing around and doing whatever. The impasse of this thread is the distinction between academic and social tango, especially on a crowded floor. The main discussion in this thread is about academic enrosque as opposed to social dancing. I also argue that the academic enrosque has no place on a milonga as it puts other couples at risk of contact and is inconsiderate of other couples. Wild movements make for unpredictability and this is dangerous, like a car swerving in and out of lanes on a busy highway.
I think you will find that other leaders disagree. There is no reason for a pivot on one foot to take up any extra room, and therefore no reason why it can't be done on a crowded floor as long as it is done well. That may be true for many people, but that doesn't mean that it is automatically unstable on one foot... it sorta depends on the person doing it, hence the OP's original question, which, if I recall, had to do with balance and stability. I can't remember if crowding was an issue for the OP.. if he has plenty of room, then it doesn't matter whether it is appropriate for a crowded floor since that wasn't a part of his question.
Yep. If you can do close embrace sacadas, you can do a close embrace enrosque pivot in about the same space. I think it's important to note you don't /have/ to do the whole crazy lapis thing. You can do an enrosque that lasts through one short turn. (FSB or BSF) There's even a way of dancing CE that allows for exchanging of momentum/energy where it would be appropriate to do so. For example, leading a follower into a quick turn, leader pivoting on the foot, then stopping her on one foot, converting to a calecita as the leader walks out of the enrosque. It can be fun to play with, especially during the sweeping/flowing movement of a Vals.
OK, so since you say this thread is about the "academic" enrosque (as you call it), and you appear to be opposed to this move, why are you posting in this thread?
I pivot on one foot regularly when leading a molinette in close embrace. I usually have the other (free) foot next to the pivoting foot, rather than doing an enrosque. BTW, it takes up less room than the two foot (or 50/50) pivots.
Because I understand your point about there being a need to discuss it, and even though I am against doing this in a social setting or even to tango music, I can see why people want to be able to do it. It looks cool. And since I can do it, I'd like to be able to offer my advice so people don't struggle. Because in the end, the longer it takes for someone to learn something like this, the longer they will stay at their present level and not advance beyond it.
If you look at the video that was posted earlier with the red dress, you can easily see how much space that enrosque requires. I've been hit in crowded milonga's before by careless leaders when they opened up the embrace to do something fancy like that. You have to consider that it's 2 people moving. Even if the man has great balance on one leg, it doesn't guarantee that the woman he is dancing with does. She can pull him off balance easily if he is pivoting on one leg. It's wise to maintain as much stability as possible. It's safer, like wearing a seatbelt when driving. Always wear your seatbelt. But even more important, being on two feet allows for a quicker change of direction which is important to prevent a crash. Thts y u dnt txt n drv. Thts y u dnt txt n dnc.
Bsically I´m with you on this. Only wanted to record, that the off-axis variant usually is called calesita over here. The on-axis variant (especially the one done with a planeo) is rarely seen at milongas, whereas the off-axis calesita (the volcadized one) is done very often on crowded floors and very typical for the dancing style of that close-embrace milongueros.
Dancing last night (the non-performance kind). I found i was doing both kinds, and where the double weighted pivot changes to a single pivot. I wan't thinking particularly about them, I was just leading, and my legs were doing whatever was necessary to lead the molinete, smoothly, so there weren't embellishments or lapiz. It just seems a perfectly good way of doing something with your feet to enable the molinete to happen.

India concerned over Gaza violence
"We urge both sides to exercise maximum restraint and avoid taking any action that may further exacerbate the situation," said Syed Akbaruddin, Spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs.
Israel on Sunday continued to bomb Gaza Strip from air and sea, indicating that it was also preparing for a ground invasion. Palestinians too fired rockets targeting Israel's commercial capital Tel Aviv.
Noting that escalating violence threatens peace and security in West Asia, New Delhi said the situation has to de-escalate urgently as the region was already under turmoil.
India holds the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council for the month of November and on Wednesday had an emergency meeting to send a strong message to both Israel and Palestine to de-escalate the situation and to stop violence immediately.

If this flag is set, inheritance setting won't work either (we explicitly go out of those macros with APR_EINVAL if APR_FILE_NOCLEANUP is set), so nobody can set such files to be CLOEXEC through APR by mistake.

The Theory
We have long passed making children's toys and now can concentrate on serious business.
It was once said that videogames by their nature cannot be art. Now that Flower has done away with that prejudice and the Citizen Kane of videogames, Portal, is extant, we can collectively look at the art form critically.
To view videogames critically is a new approach, but only because videogames themselves are so very new. From the beginning the the critical frame work was setup in the form of reviews in many gaming magazines (most now represented by online counterparts) and now they are judged in the same way movies and books are.
The primary benefit of videogames to other forms of art is that they let the player be other people. To finally take the second person "you" and incorporate it into a story. Literature has long struggled with this, there are a few stories written in the second person, but they're gimmicky and often come across as an insecure first person narration. Videogames, however, have many more second person narratives than first. In videogames, first and third (I and him) are really just you and you alone. All videogames except for RTS and god games are you games (and a strong case can be made for RTS and god-view games being second person as well). This ability to place a person in a foreign personal space is very great. The novel perhaps surpasses the videogame in empathizing with characters, but the level of removal from the subject is unavoidable because the reader is never in direct control of the protagonist. I do not wish to say that videogames are better than novels, or paintings, or any other art form, only that they like all art have their own unique strengths and weaknesses.
Like all art, videogames have both good and bad examples. The below is inspired by two things. One is a particularly bad game that I played recently, itself violating rules 7, 24, and 25. The other is The Elements of Style, a work whose influence is plain in the following.
The following are either rules governing playability, player irritation, or bad form and are in their respective sections.
Basic Rules
1. Make game play paramount
Do not sacrifice game play for anything including story or style as those can rarely support a game alone. Indeed there are games without any story that do just fine and style can often be distracting. Both can enhance a game but they should never be more important than the game play.
2. Do not release a buggy game
Bugs, or programming errors, are the typos of the videogame world. They should be actively pursued and destroyed. Much like typos in books, bugs in games can slow down, halt, or if egregious enough force players to quit entirely. Catch bugs before release and do not rely on patches to fix a broken game. Remember, it is not the job of the reader to catch the mistakes of the author, likewise it is not the player's job to find errors by the programmer.
3. Controls should be intuitive
Do not force the player to fight the joystick, keyboard, or game pad. The conventions for how controls work are well-established. Follow them.
4. Avoid complicated menus
Menus should be clearly labeled and easy to navigate. If the player cannot find how to cast spells or save his game, he will likely abandon it for Tetris.
5. Use a consistent save system
Make sure the player knows how the save system works and that it does not frustrate him. There are many types of save systems ranging from check points to collectible power-ups. Whether saves are collectible or not, rare or not, make sure their frequency is consistent.
6. Place saves both before and after boss fights, puzzles, and difficult areas
Do not force the player to defeat a boss and then have to re-fight it because he was killed by an orc two seconds later.
7. Do not let the game's seams show
Wherever possible avoid invisible walls, glitches out backgrounds, faulty AI, clipping errors, messed up palettes or anything else that interrupts the fictional reality of the game world.
8. Do not force a player to backtrack
If a player must return to an area he has already cleared make it interesting to do so.
9. Do not lead the player
Flashing icons leading the way between goals is evidence of game designers underestimating their audience. That said:
10. Level design shouldn't be confusing
Make it hard for the player to become lost.
11. Eschew escort missions
There are few examples of good escort missions. Half-Life 2: Episode 1 is an entire escort mission that is successful, but in general the player would rather not have to baby-sit his AI buddies.
12. Eschew training levels
Training levels should be kept short or dropped entirely in favor of a natural learning curve. Give new weapons, powers, and abilities non-dangerous obstacles to overcome and slowly ramp up the challenges they are needed for. Do not make training levels mandatory as they are boring to replay.
13. Make cut-scenes skip-able
Do not force players to watch cut-scenes. They are not playing for the game for the story. Some games make their cut-scenes un-skip-able for the first play through only, but this is a weak and deplorable compromise.
14. All dialogue in dialogue trees should be skip-able
Do not bore your players with dialogue they've already read.
15. Be wary of quick time events
Unless they are a fundamental aspect of game play, quick time events are best left on the cutting room floor.
16. Be wary of water levels
Any section of a game that dramatically changes the controls including, but not limited to water areas, antigravity locks, and vehicle sections should be used sparingly.
17. Have a sensible difficulty curves
Follow Freitag's Triangle to a crisis moment. Earlier levels should be easier than later levels and the difficulty should increase at a steady pace, not shoot up or down unpredictably.
18. Do not make minigames mandatory
Minigames should never be necessary to open doors or get through areas.
19. Do not overpower the player
To keep dramatic tension, the player character should be equal to the threat presented. If he is too weak, the game will be too hard and frustrating. If he is too strong, the game will cease to be a challenge. Cheat codes are recommend for gamers who wish to breeze through levels.
20. Allow small breathing areas after hard areas
This allows the player to rest after difficult sections and prevents him from being overwhelmed. This can be accomplished with a puzzle area or bonus room. Likewise, slow areas should be broken up with action segments.
21. Make early enemies easy to kill
Do not have a basic enemy take forty hits later in the game. Early enemies should, by the end of the game, be very easy to defeat thus preventing the player from feeling like he is slogging toward the ending.
22. Take control out of the player's hands as little as possible
Such shifts are often jarring, whether it be a cut-scene to show a door opening or other change in point of view.
23. Do not kill off a point of view character to advance the plot
This makes the player wonder why he can't load a saved game to get out of one particular death just like the many other deaths he has experienced up to this point.
24. Do not make the player repeat the same puzzle twice
This is tedious. Vary puzzles of similar themes enough to avoid boring the player. Do not use a mirror image of an earlier puzzle to increase game time.
25. Use timed puzzles sparingly
Timed puzzles, especially hard ones, lend themselves to backtracking. Repeated failures become exceedingly frustrating.
26. Use pleasing voice actors
Also known as Avoid Irritating Characters Unless the Player gets to Kill Them.
27. Do not overstock or under-stock power-ups
Too many items, ammo, or weapons scattered in the game world can make the game too easy, likewise too few items can make the game too hard.
28. Do not copy and paste areas
This is the hallmark of laziness.
29. Do not release a rushed game
Take all necessary time to make a game. Do not release an unfinished project.
30. Pay attention to ports
If ported to another system, make sure the game is still playable. A gamer for a console deserves the same experience as a gamer on a computer, especially if they paid equal amounts of money for the game.
I would suggest that knowing why such things are rules is more beneficial than the rules themselves.

County officials met last month to discuss the budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year, and while it appears there will be alterations from last year's budget, major changes shouldn't be expected when the spending plan is finalized this summer.
Less than two weeks after the first reading of the proposed budget, Washington County Judge-Executive John Settles, the magistrates and other officials are still early in the process with plenty of time to make changes, but the foundation for the upcoming budget has been set.

Removing Mercury from your BodyMercury is a heavy metal that collects in the human body over the years. Up to 8% of women of childbearing years have enough mercury in their bodies to harm a fetus. How can you remove it? Where does Mercury Come From? First, mercury used to be used in dental fillings, so many people who had cavities in the past few decades now have a mouth full of mercury. That mercury slowly leeches out into the person's system. Dentists now have machines that detect mercury vapor - you chew a stick of gum to get the saliva going, and then breathe into the machine. If you have any fillings in your mouth, this is well worth doing. I have a friend who had MANY serious immune problems and once she removed her fillings she got better the very next day. I have heard about many other people who had the same results. Second, mercury is naturally found in the ocean. Since it accumulates in a body over time, it is the large, old fish who have the most mercury in them - and therefore are the fish that you can get the most mercury from when you eat them. Scientists now recommend that even light-mercury fish like tuna only be eaten once a week to avoid mercury poisoning. These two sources account for the vast majority of mercury found in modern day people. Detecting Mercury Problems The two main ways to detect mercury in a human body are through the dental test mentioned above, and through your hair. Mercury accumulates in hair and a simple test can be done to determine your mercury levels. There are also 24-hour urine tests available. Talk to your doctor about having a mercury test done if you feel you might be at risk. How Does the Body Remove Mercury? The human body has a lot of trouble ridding itself of mercury. That is why most people simply keep accumulating mercury over the years and develop worse and worse symptoms. The thyroids pull out the mercury and send it to the liver. The liver filters it out and sends it to the kidneys. The kidneys push it down to the bowels where it finally leaves. Even if all four systems are in perfect working order, it is easy to overload the system if you have fillings full of mercury in your head, or if you are eating a lot of mercury each week. Helpful Vitamins for Removing Mercury As with any operation of your body, certain vitamins and minerals are critical to help your organs perform their proper functions. In the series of events required to flush mercury from your system, these vitamins and minerals are used: * Selenium (brazil nuts, tuna, cod, turkey and chicken) * Iron (red meat, egg yolks) * Zinc (beef, pork, chicken) * Manganese (nuts, green vegetables, tea) * Sulfur (eggs, garlic) Cilantro has been found in many studies to do a wonderful job of removing heavy metals from the body as well. Be sure that you have adequate levels of these five items in your diet. Note that it's interesting that tuna, which can contain a lot of mercury, also contains selenium to counteract it! Be sure to eat the "light" tuna - which is low in mercury - and not the "white/albacore" tuna, which is high in mercury. Historical Note: The phrase "mad as a hatter" comes from the poisoning that those who made hats from felt got. They were slowly poisoned from the mercury in the felt. The mercury would cause tremors and other symptoms. UPDATE: A reader has written me stating that all mercury in the ocean comes from pollution. This is not true. While we do pollute many things and we should always strive to pollute less, the vast majority of ocean mercury is natural to the ocean. Mercury is a natural metal found in the Earth. We should certainly not make things worse - but we are not responsible for most of the Mercury we find in fish in the ocean.

Beginning with his childhood memories from time spent at his grandfather's home at Walker's Point in Maine, to his experiences as an 18-year-old Naval aviator during World War II, to being a Texas oil man, his time in the U.S. Congress, serving as President Nixon's Ambassador to China, and ultimately, to his service as vice president and president of the United States, this film spans the very full life of the now 88-year-old former President Bush. Now the Bush family patriarch, the 41st President of the United States, reflects on the highs and lows of his life, from his summer compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, and his presidential library in Texas, with contributions and moving recollections shared with his beloved wife of 67 years, Barbara Bush, and including the presidency of his son, George W. Bush, and his own last election against President Bill Clinton, whom he now counts as a friend.

OBAMA REVEALED: The Man, The President – Airs Sunday 8:00PM – 9:30PM and 11:00PM – 12:30AM (Tuesday 2:00AM)
When President Barack Obama came into office he faced towering expectations, a severe economic crisis, and a bitterly divided nation. Obama Revealed, reported by CNN chief White House correspondent Jessica Yellin, looks at the pros and cons of President Obama's cool demeanor and what happened when his lofty goals met the realities of Washington. In an exclusive interview, Yellin speaks with President Barack Obama about his time in office, the challenges he faced, and his ambitions for a second term. Included are interviews with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, former director of the White House Economic Council Dr. Larry Summers, and former chairs of the President's Council of Economic Advisers Austan Goolsbee and Dr. Christina Romer. Yellin also interviews members of the president's inner circle of confidantes including senior campaign strategist David Axelrod, senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, and long-time personal aide Reggie Love. These voices tell the inside story behind the president's efforts to solve the nation's economic crisis, push for health care reform, and kill Osama bin Laden. In separate exclusive interviews, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) offer their sharp perspectives on working with the president and the failure to bring Republicans and Democrats together in Washington. Obama biographer and Washington Post associate editor David Maraniss, Rice University professor and historian Douglas Brinkley, and New York Times chief White House correspondent David Sanger add independent insights from their research.

The first demonstration of email transmission using a fully Internationalized address held at the APTLD Members Meeting in Amman, Jordan
Afilias, a global provider of Internet infrastructure services, and the National Information Technology Center of Jordan today announced that they have partnered to produce the first public demonstration of an e-mail message between two completely internationalized (or IDN) e-mail addresses in the Arabic language, using Afilias' new IDN e-mail technology and a fully IDN domain name and IDN TLD from the .JO registry.
"With the 83 percent of the world's population estimated to be non-English speaking, this is an important first step in bringing a useful Internet to the majority of the world's Internet users which were previously shut-out of using the Internet in their native language," said John Kane, Vice President of Corporate Services for Afilias. "The adoption of IDN domain names has been inhibited by the lack of technical support within e-mail programs for internationalized addresses which would still be compatible with the global DNS system. With Afilias' unique and standards-compliant IDN e-mail solution, we are able to finally address this problem and facilitate IDN adoption in any language."
At the APTLD meeting in Amman, Jordan, Afilias and the .JO registry demonstrated sending and receiving e-mail using the fully Internationalized e-mail addresses الاردن.الدولي-البريد@تجربة and الاردن.الدولي-البريد@مبيعات. E-mail was sent from and to these addresses using both a Web-based e-mail client and a mobile application.*
"The final link in the conversion of the Web to a truly global audience is to give all users of the Internet their website and e-mail identity in a form that truly represents them, in their own language," added Dr. Nabeel Al-Fayoumi, Government CIO / Director General of the National IT Center / .jo and .الاردن Registry. "We are pleased to cooperate with Afilias on an historic and important move forward in technology that will empower Arabic and other non-English speaking Internet users around the world to communicate in their own language."
The Jordanian registry officially launched the Arabic version of its ccTLD as .alordon which translates to xn--mgbayh7gpa using the Punycode algorithm and is visible in Arabic as الاردن. Registration in the new IDN version of the ccTLD was launched on October 11, 2010, beginning with a sunrise period for Governmental Entities and Diplomatic Missions, and shall be followed by a registration period for trademark holders.
About Internationalized Domain Names and IDN e-mail
Internet users are familiar with using domains that are written in ASCII (Latin/English characters) - on websites, in e-mail, and in many other Internet applications. Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) were first launched in 2004 based on an IETF standard called IDNA (RFC 5890), which uses the Punycode encoding algorithm to represent non-ASCII characters found in Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Hindi and other languages, into ASCII names that the DNS system can resolve. This allows Internet users to type a domain name in their local script using their native language, instead of an English translation. For further information, please visit http://www.afilias.info/IDN-Backgrounder.
Since 2004, businesses and individual users have been able to register second level IDN domains in many scripts across many top-level domain (TLD) extensions. However, both the user name portion of an e-mail address and the TLD itself has been ASCII-only. Recently ICANN approved the introduction of IDNs at the top level, so TLDs like .jo can now be visible in a native script like Arabic as .الاردن.
Afilias IDN E-mail is a software package that supports "E-mail Address Internationalization" (EAI), a standard under development by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). This standard removes the restriction of English-only alphabets in e-mail addresses. Afilias' IDN e-mail application allows people to use almost any language in their e-mail address. The Afilias implementation follows RFC 4952 and additional draft RFCs that are in the process of being standardized. These changes allow both the username and the domain name of an e-mail address to be in any language/script represented in the Unicode standard.

About the .jo and .الاردن Registry
NITC is the only accredited registrar of domain names under .JO ccTLD and .الاردن IDN ccTLD, was granted this registration privilege by ICANN, a body concerned with the development of Internet technology and management of domain names.
NITC basically aims at efficiently providing the DNS registration service to the public by following the worldwide best practices by maintaining a solid operating environment that secures the customer rights and following a transparency policy of publishing the database of registered domain names under the .JO ccTLD and .الاردن IDN ccTLD.
NITC's policy in domain registration under .JO and .الاردن complies with the worldwide recognized policies and best practices with essential modifications that accommodate the Jordanian culture and the Jordanian Laws to protect the rights of the others.
*Note: Due to the current status of the EAI draft protocol, sending e-mail to these IDN addresses from outside of Afilias' IDN e-mail system is not yet supported.

Of course when I think about it I'm excited! I can't wait to hold our baby and to see what he or she looks like. But usually I'm not thinking about it. When Zach and I went to our first dr. visit we both asked her if we are for sure pregnant! Neither of us can believe it and it hasn't sunken in yet STILL. I have to remind myself often that I am actually pregnant. When I doubt it I say "the dr. said you are" and "you still haven't gotten your period so it's legit" to myself! haha.
I think a lot of my feelings of it not being real will be fixed on Tuesday when we get to hear the heartbeat and have an early ultrasound (and sadly for Zach find out that we aren't having twins haha)
I honestly think a lot of the reason I still can't believe it is that I am not going through what I expected. I am not the pregnant chick you see in the movies!
My Symptoms:
- My breasts are sore and a LOT bigger than usual
- I get a lot more tired a lot quicker
- I have to go #1 allllllll the time
- My stomach feels sick all day, but I don't throw up
- I'm never hungry!!!!
The never being hungry thing REALLY bugs me. And surprisingly, so does the not throwing up thing! Every single movie I have EVER seen shows a girl who is in the early stages of pregnancy eating constantly and throwing up constantly. Instead I feel sick all day and don't like anything. If anyone knows me they know I love ice cream...and sadly I don't even want to eat that!!!
It bothers me and makes me wonder if I'm normal or not. I google it of course and it says that some women are like me but still when will the phase end? Please say it will be after the first trimester! I'm ready to be a "normal" pregnant lady!!!
Then today Mrs. Charlotte tells me about a girl who miscarried at 2 1/2 months (which is where I'm about at!)...and so far throughout my pregnancy I haven't been the least bit worried. No scary dreams, no "bad feelings" nothing. But after hearing that I got scared for the first time!
This afternoon I lazed around and napped (a first for me during the day and I probably should do it more often!) but I kept worrying about it. Now every little feeling...from hunger cramp to having to go to the bathroom makes me scared. Keep me in your prayers! I'm ready for week 12 to get here so I can breathe a little easier :)

Facts and Events
Charles Stewart Parnell (; 27 June 1846 – 6 October 1891) was an Irish landlord, nationalist political leader, land reform agitator, and the founder and leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party. He was one of the most important figures in 19th century Great Britain and Ireland, and was described by Prime Minister William Gladstone as the most remarkable person he had ever met. Parnell led the Irish Parliamentary Party as Member of Parliament (MP) through the period of Parliamentary nationalism in Ireland between 1875 and his death in 1891. Future Liberal Prime Minister H. H. Asquith described him as one of the three or four greatest men of the 19th century, while Lord Haldane described him as the strongest man the House of Commons had seen in 150 years. The Irish Parliamentary Party split during 1890, following revelations of Parnell's private life intruding into his political career. He has nevertheless been revered by subsequent Irish parliamentary republicans and nationalists.
