Euflorian: Another Eufloria Inbound
OffContract spotted a little twitter hint from the folks behind Eufloria stating that art was inbound for "Euflorian". The developer eventually explained that it was part of Omni's Eufloria Adventures 'experiment'. Eufloria Adventures launched in April on PlayStation Mobile. Is this Adventures offshoot about to get bigger? Launch to new platforms? Develop superpowers? Stay tuned. Maybe the art will be informative.

Civilization Revolution 2 inbound for mobile
Civilization Revolution was the best strategy game on the DS, and the DS had a few to choose from. Civ Rev 2 doesn't look like it's headed to handhelds, sadly, but it should be inbound to Apple and Android mobile devices. iOS users can play today for $15 while Android users can get in on the fun later this year.

Modern Warfare Reflex is the Biggest Wii Disappointment Yet
Sometimes I hate being right. The Wii is no stranger to long delays in getting good games, or to fast and dirty ports. What makes this one sting so bad is that the potential for Modern Warfare was so high. Because of the quality of the original title, the Modern Warfare branding is almost as powerful as the Call of Duty branding itself. Modern Warfare will share a place in history alongside Quake, Goldeneye, and Halo.
The Wii version, on the other hand, deserves the rating IGN gave it — falling below the barely known PSP-port MOH:H2. This despite the fact that Modern Warfare had a proven sales record, a publisher bigger than some countries, a game engine already in place, an experienced developer team that did well with Call of Duty: World at War, and oh yeah, TWO YEARS to get it right; but it can't do the one basic thing every FPS on Wii has to do — control well. Between framerate issues screwing with precision, and lack of polish all over, this mediocre game is a slap in the face to Wii owners and to a great underlying game.
Frak you Activision. If you want my money, re-release the game in a year when you've actually finished it.
David Marseilles
Where are the Modern Warfare Reflex Reviews?
In IGN's hands-on with Modern Warfare Reflex, they mentioned they received no review copy. That's pretty weird if you ask me. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been amazed at how little information, how few images and how little footage there was of the game. At first blush, there seems to be a reason for withholding it from review: Treyarch got sloppy.
In regards to the online mode:
Was there a big rush to get Modern Warfare Reflex out the door TWO YEARS after PS360 version so much that they couldn't attend to the SINGLE most important element of a Wii FPS: control? Of course not, but there appears to have been a rush to capitalize on Christmas sales and the Modern Warfare moniker. It's a frakking shame too. Modern Warfare and Wii fans deserve better. We've certainly waited long enough to expect better.

Modern Warfare (Wii)
2007 called, and they want their game announcement back. That's right, according to kotaku, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is taking up its rightful home on the Wii. This November 10th, while the PS3 and 360 get their Modern Warfare 2 on, we finally get the original.
Treyarch, who also ported World at War to the Wii using the much vaunted modified COD4 engine, is taking another whack at Wii. It makes sense, since 1) Activision already had an engine on Wii 2) Call of Duty 4 was one of the best received shooters ever and 3) World at War (Wii) topped 1 million sales. Apparently Treyarch and Activision are both fond of money. As far as I'm concerned, Treyarch did well with World at War — far better than Wii porters ordinarily do — so I welcome their involvement and hope they bring their A game.
Should I be complaining because we're not getting MW2 at the moment? Who knows. Just because the first one rocked the casbah doesn't mean the sequel will (remember Halo 2?). For now, I consider this the best news for Wii this year. It sucks that it took this long, but at least it's finally here.

The Conduit Multiplayer: Pros and Cons
There are some things that previews and even pre-launch reviews are worthless for. Multiplayer is one of them. This is because you can't know what the network performance will be like until tens of thousands of gamers raid the servers and bring things to a crawl. I'll be putting down some initial pros and cons in this post over the next couple of days.

The Conduit, Promotional unlock Codes
The following two codes are from Gamestop's special edition of The Conduit for preorders.

I still haven't bought MP3C, though I did rent it, and I haven't played Echoes at all and this is why.
David Marseilles
The Conduit Multiplayer Previewed
Let's start with the high praise: "It's pretty much what you'd expect from a modern console FPS, but not necessarily what we've come to expect from Nintendo WFC titles." So says Joystiq. So pray we all.
The highlights are that HVS apparently improved performance in the online mode by reducing graphical fidelity (smart move if you ask me). You probably already know that the Conduit reduced the total number of players to 12 from a planned 16. There are seven maps, 3 categories (Team Objective (which includes a CTF sub-type), TDM, FFA), and there seem to game sub-types for each category (Joystiq played a Free For All variant called "Bounty Hunter" where everyone races to be the first one to kill the player designated as the hunted, also spotting a Last Man standing mode and a "King of the Hill"-like mode).
They reported that movement speed felt slow and there was no Sprint option. WiiSpeak lets you talk either to your team or the five nearest players—it's unclear from the preview whether that's automatically chosen based on the mode you're playing, or if you can manually switch it and say, talk to someone on the opposite team in TDM. Everything is as customizable as you've come to expect from HVS, from modes, rules, HUD arrangement and of course, control config.
Read the whole thing and keep marking the time until it releases. Then buy a copy for you and another for a friend. The success of this game reflects not just on the Wii, but probably on its successor too.
There was a past multiplayer demo Sega ran that fell through a little while ago, and I expect this demo will be reported by some other sites soon as well, so keep your eyes open for more impressions.

Free Radical Kicks the Bucket; Antioxidants Eyed Suspiciously
The rumor mill has the highly respected Free Radical Studios (of Timesplitters fame and with talent stretching all the way back to Goldeneye) closing its doors one last time… and locking out its employees.
What does this mean for our hopes and dreams? The Timesplitters IP can still be sold, and employees as talented as Free Radicals' are bound to be back in the game lending their talents to other games. Until they land on their feet, WiiHD's thoughts are with them.
Some people might blame the worldwide economic recession. Others might suspect Free Radical over-invested in the poorly performing Haze. WiiHD blames Vitamin E. It knows why.

Wii Homebrew Reloaded
I noticed some extra traffic today, and traced it back to Joystiq's announcement of The Homebrew Channel's 1.0 release. In honor of this sort of momentous occasion (sort of since the numbering is more a result of beta fatigue by the hacking team than any dramatic new features), WiiHD will soon present you with a new Starter Kit 1.0, Wii Menu 3.4 Safe. If you're still using Wii Menu 3.3 or lower, you can use the old Starter Kit.
Watch this post in the next day or so. I'd upload it now, but I want to test the new programs first.
For now watch the old, very mockable video guide after the break if you don't know what this homebrew business is all about (pssst, it's about Quake). Also, see the full WiiHD Homebrew Guide if you need links to goodies or more help.

Chota Chardham: Small Circuit for Pilgrim's Journey.
'Chota Chardham' is a journey circle comprising of four locales, imperative to the Hindu people group. The four locales are, in particular, Badrinath in Uttarakhand, Puri in Odisha (Formerly Orissa), Dwarka in Gujarat and Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu. There is additionally a littler circuit of Char Dham locales, known as 'Chota Char Dham', with 'Chota' which means little. All these four destinations of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath are situated in the province of Uttarakhand alone.
This town denotes the wellspring of the Yamuna stream. To the Hindus, it is the seat of Yamuna, the Hindu Goddess, who is delineated as having dark composition, and over a tortoise, having a pot of water in her grasp. (As depicted in the Sanskrit Agni Purana, one of the eighteen noteworthy Puranas of Hinduism). The temple here, lodging a hallowed place to the Goddess, opens in the period of May and shuts the second day after Diwali.
While Yamunotri is the starting point of the Yamuna stream, Gangotri that of the Holy Ganges. For perusers who are ignorant, Ganges, or Ganga in Hindi, is viewed as exceptionally holy in Hinduism, and showering in its waters is accepted to encourage 'Moksha', i.e. one's discharge from the hover of life and demise. She is additionally loved as Maa Ganga. ('Maa' implies mother) She is delineated sitting on a 'Makara', a legendary animal that has the leader of an elephant, and the body of a fish. The temple here goes back to the eighteenth century.
The historical backdrop of the town of Kedarnath goes back to the Mahabharata time. (The Mahabharata is one of the two noteworthy Sanskrit Hindu legends, with its birthplaces going back to 8-ninth century BC.) The sanctuary is committed to Lord Shiva, one of Hinduism's three noteworthy gods, the God of devastation. He is venerated as 'Kedarnath' here, which implies the Lord of Kedar Khand. (Authentic name of the locale). Because of serious climate in winters, the sanctuary is just open from the finish of April to the fall full moon.
Badrinath is the most vital of the four journey locales of the Char Dham. The sanctuary here is devoted to Lord Vishnu, one of the three noteworthy gods of Hinduism (The third one is Lord Brahma, the maker), the God who is the preserver and defender. He is adored as 'Badrinath' here. By and by, because of extraordinary climate conditions, the sanctuary is open between the finish of April and start of November.

Father's Day Card
Have you made your Father's Day card yet? This is the one I ended up giving my dad. I had to give it to him today as I won't get a chance to see him next week.
To make this card I embossed Sanded background stamp in clear on black card. I then sponged on some copper ink (retired) around the edges. When dry I tied brocade blue ribbon around the piece and mounted on a brocade blue card base. The sentiment from Occasional Greetings I stamped after colouring with markers (Brocade Blue and Choc Chip) and then mounted on whisper white, copper (Oh, how I love this card!) and brocade blue. It was pretty easy and quick to make, and luckily dad seemed to like it.
Stay tuned for a terrific special for September...I'm excited, it includes free stuff!

Delta Labs - Unknown: Union Aerospace Research Division
From DoomWiki.org
|This article about a map is a stub. Please help the Doom Wiki by adding to it.
of Evil maps
Delta Labs - Unknown: Union Aerospace Research Division is the eleventh level of Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil. Player fights through parts of Delta 3, Administration, Delta 2B, and Delta 4 from Doom 3, that have been corrupted by Hell. This is the most unique level in all of Doom 3, because the entire Delta Complex is in constant dimensional flux with Hell and shows a horrifying alternate version of the area every few seconds and warps the player's vision. Bloody skeletons appear when in flux with Hell and can be interacted with until the flux stops.
In the BFG Edition, this level does not fluctuate with Hell.

Yup - its finally done.
Print version now available on Amazon.
PDF should be coming soon at DriveThruRPG.
The adventure is designed for Warriors and Rogues. Do try to play with another character type...it will be a fun experience as well.
Half way through working on the layout, I discovered some better ways to handle some of the things I wanted to do with the solo adventure. I did rewrite one entire section to make it flow a bit better without too many chapters where alot of similar information was repeated.
I also see this as a fairly good introduction to T&T where combat, spells (including applying Kremm Resistance), and saving rolls are taught a bit in the beginning then less instruction a bit later.
As always - let me know what you think if you have laid down your hard earned on my writing. I am very eager to hear any feedback, so bring it on.

Booze eats 'Youthfulness'
The youthfulness is a most beautiful stage or state. It is considered as the happiest period of the life.
Do you know why the youngsters use beauty products? Most of the youngsters use beauty products to keep their youthfulness unspoiled.
Not just the beauty products, there are many other things we knowingly or unknowingly use every day to remain as a youthful person.
So, the big question is 'is there anything which we regularly use adversely affect our youthfulness'.
Unfortunately, there is one thing which literally has the capacity to eat our youthfulness in no time.
Booze is that evil element. The researchers have discovered that those who regularly drink alcohol are likely to age faster than those who have no drinking habit.
Several health study reports have unanimously confirmed that the habit of drinking alcohol might lead to several serious disease conditions such as cancer.

Difference between setContextProperty and Qml registertype.
Mathan M
I created an UserAccessCtlr .cpp/UserAccessCtlr .h, which has methods. This method has to call from main.qml.
I had used to QQmlContext in the main.cpp to link the .cpp/.h files. Is it the right way, since I saw in sample, qmlRegistType.
Option 1:
qmlRegisterType<MapQuickView>("Esri.QTQCPPXMLIntegrationV1", 1, 0, "MapView");
Option 2:
QQmlContext *context = appEngine.rootContext();
UserAccessCtlr *useraccessctlr = new UserAccessCtlr();
What is the difference and which one i have to use it?
SGaist Lifetime Qt Champion
Option 1 makes your type known to the QML engine and then you can instantiate new objects from that type directly in your QML code.
Option 2 "adds" an object to the context that you can use from your QML code.
Which one to use depends on what you want to do with that object.
Hope it helps.

Hello there, I'm Guy and this is Zohar, my wife.
And this, is our story…
Having a background in bartending, both my wife and I, for as long as one can remember, we knew that there was more into this business. You see, for us bartending was no chore! We simply loved what we did, and it took time and dedication to maintain that post. When our children made a family out of us, we decided that it was time to take things to the next level.
We did not want to exactly quit bartending but when you have a family, you need to build a future for our kids and us. What we had was a vision and we knew that we could make something more out of the job that kept us both happy and fed.
And so began our journey by creating G&Z Online Marketing.
Meet The Company!
As corporate as the title "company" might seem, we're still a humble business. Family owned and family run! No we don't wear tuxedos or anything fancy like that. The secret that separates a "good" bartender from the "awesome" bartender is the fact that he or she can be relatable to the customer.
Over the years we've made a lot of friends, passed around a lot of alcoholic beverages and we enjoyed doing so! Now that we are in the marketing business, we are proud to be able to maintain that human interaction, because let's not fool ourselves, bars were built so that people can have a good time and talk to each other! And our company's MO is to still be "human".
Stay Humble, Dream Big!
Being a small business has its perks, too! We handle everything ourselves; researching product ideas, researching the market, sourcing, branding, marketing, customer service… you name it!
This simply means that we get to control everything, and rest assured that we do not cut any corners or sacrifice quality when it comes to our products!
From conception to materialization, from advertising to having our product reach your doorstep, we will personally be there for you every step of the way so that you can get the best customer experience out of it.
What can we say, for us it's still no chore. It's simply the bartender in us who simply won't let us rest until there's a smile on everyone's face!
Our Products
Our brand, SILVERgrade, specializes in what we know best, barware.
We manufacture our products for according to the highest standards because we actually know, first-hand, what it takes for bar equipment to be considered trustworthy and durable.
Our barware is aimed both at your personal home bar and for professional use alike! Whether you enjoy the occasional cocktail, or the occasional recreational liquor and you need the right tools, whether you are a pro bartender who needs top grade equipment or a barista who settles for nothing but the best, we got you covered.
You can rest assured that we personally oversee each step of the manufacturing process and we make sure that nothing leaves our hands without thorough inspection.
Plus, there's nothing better for us than hearing from you! So, feel free to have a look around and know that we'll be at your disposal for any question or concern you might have!
Warm regards,
Guy & Zohar

• Spain's privacy office will continue investigations of Facebook and other multinationals
• New EU privacy regime poses compliance oversight challenges for the office
Spain's privacy office will proceed in 2017 with investigations involving Facebook Inc., VTech Holdings Ltd., and Niantic, Inc.'s PokemonGo, the director of the office said.
The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) is investigating several multinationals over privacy policy or data breach issues, AEPD Director Mar Espana Marti told Parliament in a June 29 address coinciding with the release of the agency's annual enforcement report for 2016.
Preparations for the May 25, 2018, effective date of the European Union's new privacy regime, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), will also be a primary focus for the office, Espana said.
The AEPD is participating in investigations in coordination with France, Belgium, and Germany over Facebook's use of consumer data, Espana said. The office will also address a complaint over Facebook's messaging service and the apparent inability of users to opt out of messaging that shows when they were last online.
The privacy office is working with other national privacy regulators to investigate the Hong Kong-based toy maker VTech concerning an alleged breach of the data of millions of customers and thousands of photos of parents and children.
The AEPD is investigating whether the privacy policies for the augmented reality game PokemonGo and related system services comply with Spanish regulations, Espana said. The investigation should be resolved soon, she said.
A Facebook spokesperson told Bloomberg BNA June 30 that the company is in confidential talks with the privacy office and can't share any specifics at this time. VTech Holding Ltd. and Niantic didn't immediately respond to Bloomberg BNA requests for comment.
Spain is working to amend its privacy laws to comport with the EU GDPR. Application of the GDPR in Spain will frame the AEPD's agenda for years, Espana told Parliament.
However, legislative gridlock in Parliament may slow the adoption of changes, Efren Santos, a partner at ICEF Consultores in Madrid, told Bloomberg BNA.
The "unprecedented complexity" and "cross-border nature" of the GDPR may pose a "serious challenge" for her office, which for years has been seeking more resources, Marti said. Complaints filed with her office could rise significantly under the GDPR, she said.
The AEPD June 28 separately announced it would analyze personal data protection in the financial services sector to determine how companies are preparing for the GDPR. One-third of complaints received by her office involve that sector, Espana said.
Actions in the EU have already influenced the office's work in data transfer authorization requests, the AEPD report said.
After the EU's top court invalidated the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor data transfer program that allowed thousands of U.S. companies and tens of thousands of EU companies to more easily transfer data to the U.S., the AEPD saw a 475 percent rise in the number of data transfer requests, from 128 in 2015 to 737 in 2016, the office said in a statement.By Brett Allan King

One of the best things I get to do as part of the Baby-Friendly project is speak to groups of doctors, administrators, nurses and families about what all of us can do to make breastfeeding work for mothers in our community. How fun that people are listening and usually eager to help! This week I speak with obstetricians about the 3 hours of breastfeeding education required for physicians. Here are my thoughts. Wish me luck!
#1 Breastfeeding is a public health issue, not an alternative.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics February 2012 breastfeeding policy statement:
Breastfeeding and human milk are the normative standards for infant feeding and nutrition… Recently, published evidence-based studies have confirmed and quantitated the risks of not breastfeeding. Thus, infant feeding should not be considered a lifestyle choice but rather a basic health issue.
#2 Breastfeeding saves money.
In 2010 the journal Pediatrics reported that 13 billion dollars could be saved annually in the U.S. if 90% of women followed recommended guidelines to exclusively feed their babies breast milk for 6 months. Families save $1,200 to $1,500 in formula cost alone, not taking into consideration doctor appointments for illness, medications and missed days at work.
#3 Doctors' words are a powerful influence.
When talking to a family about any health issue, I can quote research, show the actual journal articles, bring in a panel of experts or talk about what has worked for thousands of women over millennia, but if my words don't align with what their doctor says, my words fall flat on the ground.
Consider this. My sister-in-law decided to formula feed her second baby right from the beginning. Her obstetrician respectfully charted her decision without saying a word. Her baby was born one evening, and she formula fed through the night. In the morning, my nephew's pediatrician spoke with my sister-in-law, and over the course of the conversation, he said one sentence that made all the difference. He said, "With your family's history of allergies, you really should breastfeed." That's it. That's all he said. From that moment she started breastfeeding and exclusively breastfed her baby for six months.
#4 Inconsistent messages are confusing.
If doctors' words are that powerful, think how detrimental misinformation or inconsistent information is for new mothers. Myths abound in the breastfeeding world. Routinely restricting a woman's diet, restricting the length of feedings and basing weight gain on outdated growth charts are all current examples of what mothers are hearing from doctors in our community. Even what may seem a harmless sentiment like, "Don't feel guilty if breastfeeding doesn't work out for you" undermines a woman's confidence in her ability to breastfeed. Out of concern for saying the wrong thing, some doctors say nothing. However, a neutral stance sends the message that formula feeding and breastfeeding must be equal. If the choice really matters, women believe their doctors will say something.
#5 ALL medical professionals need breastfeeding education.
How can physicians be sure they are giving up-to-date, relevant information? Baby-Friendly requires all physicians who deliver babies or care for babies in the hospital have 3 continuing medical education (CME) credits related to breastfeeding. These can be done online through the University of Virginia School of Medicine at no cost to the hospital or to the doctors. For our Baby-Friendly designation timeline, we will need all CMEs completed by the end of 2013. That will be a pretty nice beginning to working together on making breastfeeding a success for more moms in our community!

Talented Cat Plays Basketball On A Trampoline
Since kittenhood on, cats will play chase, capture, and kill games with other kittens, shadows on the wall, insects, toys and their humans' hands. Cat play is a fallback to cats in the wild, where they must stalk and kill their prey in order to eat and survive. When playing, cats either have great imaginations, or they just get engrossed in the fun of the chase, which is always adorable to watch!
While cats enjoy playing with us, they are quite comfortable playing alone, and it is fun to sometimes catch them in the act. This footage shows a cat going extreme play mode with a basketball.
Footage shows a playful cat engaging in some serious feline competition by himself alone! Watch the hilarious moment when this playful cat stars in a basketball game and adorably scores in the one-player-fits-all match. Adorable footage shows Timmy the cat playing with a big, orange, basketball in the grass and then in a bouncy trampoline!
Cats are known to be masters of play time, that is because they can keep themselves entertained for hours, playing with thin air! The first footage shows Timmy rolling around the grass and hopping on a basketball. He is having the time of his time and the big orange ball is his best friend!
Next, we see Timmy relaxing in a trampoline with his buddy, the orange ball! This cat seems to cannot get enough with the basketball and is somehow very much intrigued by it. He should enroll for the tryouts of the next NBA feline competition because he sure has the moves!

North Korea Backs Down, Holds Its Fire
As South Proceeds With Island Drill, Pyongyang Sees No 'Need to Retaliate'
SEOUL—North Korea stood pat as South Korea conducted an artillery drill Monday and said it wasn't going to strike back, significantly easing concerns of armed conflict and suggesting Pyongyang may again be using provocations to seek economic inducements.
However, U.S. military officials said the U.S. is still closely watching the situation. "The situation is still more tense than in a long time. I haven't seen that tension ease," said one official....

The Tasmanian government has downplayed the extent of problem gambling and says a significant cutback in the number of poker machines would be unfair.
Treasurer Peter Gutwein on Wednesday told a parliamentary committee investigating gaming reform that the Liberal administration plans to decrease by 150 the number of electronic gaming machines across the island state by 2023.
Asked why the current number of 3560 wouldn't be cut by more, the treasurer said that gambling is a lawful form of entertainment.
"The vast majority of people are able to gamble responsibly," Mr Gutwein said, citing the results of a 2011 Social and Economic Impact Study.
"What you're talking about is removing a choice for many people that are responsible."
The joint committee has received almost 150 submissions, including one from federal independent MP Andrew Wilkie who retold "heartbreaking" stories of bankruptcy, theft, deception, jail, broken families and suicide as a result of problem gambling.
Social service groups, including Mission Australia, aired concerns about the impact of gaming machines on their clients and called on the government to take action.
Tasmanian Greens MP Andrea Dawkins said the complaints shouldn't be ignored, adding that electronic gaming machines "psychologically trick people into thinking they're having a good time".
"They're really just losing money," she said.
"I don't think you can measure high-intensity electronic gaming machines against any other form of gambling on the planet and say it is a reasonable and legitimate and fair form of gambling."
As the government prepares its approach to negotiate the state's gambling licence which expires in 2023, Mr Gutwein and Premier Will Hodgman - who both gave evidence on Wednesday - said they will consider the committee's recommendations and community feedback.
Among those suggestions, could be a move away from the bright lights and synthesised sounds of poker machines in preference of plain-packaged pokies.
Toning down the bling could have merit, Mr Gutwein conceded.
"That concern does get raised. This is an opportunity for the committee to consider whether or not there is any validity to that claim and consider what happens in other states and jurisdictions."
The Federal Group has a monopoly over Tasmania's gaming sector, with its heart at Hobart's Wrest Point Casino.
The premier was asked to rule out the Liberal Party's acceptance of further donations from the Federal Group.
"At least for the last two financial years we have not received a donation," Mr Hodgman said.

Wednesday, 30 April 2014 11:51 AM
Time Warner Inc. reported better-than-expected quarterly results, helped by the box office success of "The Lego Movie" and the popularity of the "Game of Thrones" TV series.
Time Warner is home to pay-TV channel HBO, Warner Bros. movie studio and cable channels such as CNN. It is in the process of spinning off its publishing unit, Time Inc., which publishes People, Sports Illustrated and Time magazine.
The company also narrowed the range of its full-year profit forecast, saying it expects adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations to grow in the low teens, excluding Time Inc.
Previously, the company forecast 2014 adjusted earnings per share to increase by low double digits on a percentage basis from last year's figure of $3.51 per share.
Time Warner's shares were up 5 percent at $68.06 in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday.
HBO revenue rose 9 percent to $1.33 billion as subscriptions increased, driven by the consolidation of HBO Asia and HBO Nordic and the popularity of "Game of Thrones." Home video revenue grew due to DVD sales of the show's third season.
The company said the Season 4 premiere of "Game of Thrones" on April 6 drew HBO's largest audience since "The Sopranos" finale in 2007.
"The Turner Networks and Warner Brothers continue to perform well but we believe HBO could be the real growth story," ISI Group analyst Vijay Jayant said in a note.
Time Warner broke out financials for HBO for the first time last quarter to show investors how it stacks up against rival Netflix Inc., especially for its streaming online product HBO Go.
Netflix's revenue jumped 36 percent to $1.07 billion in the first quarter as the company improved its original content such as the critically acclaimed Kevin Spacey hit "House of Cards."
Time Warner's net income from continuing operations rose to $1.29 billion, or $1.42 per share, in first quarter from $754 million, or 79 cents per share, a year earlier.
On an adjusted basis, the company earned 91 cents per share, above Wall Street estimates of 88 cents per share.
Revenue rose 9 percent to $7.55 billion in the quarter ended March 31. Analysts had expected $6.61 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Excluding Time Inc., revenue rose 10 percent.
Warner Bros. revenue jumped 14 percent, helped mainly by strong performances of "The Lego Movie," "300: Rise of an Empire" and "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," released in December. The unit also reported a rise in videogames and international television licensing revenue.
Turner revenue increased 5 percent as domestic subscription rates and advertisement revenue rose, mainly due to the airing of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship tournament on Turner networks such as TBS and TNT.

Hry Pedja,
I picked up on a piece of advice you gave to Jesse where you stated he should improve his chord vocabulary and I was wondering about the best way to approach this, would it be to just run through chord scales until they become second nature? Or maybe learning all the triads and their inversions? Or even just learning songs with unusual chord voicings and key modulations etc? Ive tried the CAGED method and while I think it has a lot of good points I cant help but think that there are better methods out there!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Sted,
Glad you are following things around the forum I think you brought some pretty interesting points here. My advice is to learn the voicings individually , isolate them, practice them with metronome and/or drum beat, then start applying them in different keys all across the guitar neck.
I have recorded so far following lessons that should all be of great help when it comes to chord vocabulary :
- Triads in major scale
This series contains 4 lessons from which 3 focus on all possible inversions of triads in C major scale across the guitar neck. 4th lesson is basically application, where I took C major/A natural minor/ F Lydian and applied those chord voicings in melodic way. So you basically take those 4 lessons, learn key of C major with closed triads but you also start to think creatively and do your own thing with this material. Ideally you want to take this trough 11 more major keys (that means 44 more lessons I would record
- Open triads in G major scale
This series also contains 4 lessons but this time we are focusing on G major scale (so new key, to make things fresh and interesting!) but we are also focusing on open triad vs closed triad sound. 4th lesson is again application, little etude/piece that demonstrates melodic way of approaching this material!
- 4 Part Harmony Drop 2 Voicings
Here we have 4 lessons in this series but we are moving onto 4 part harmony now! This is recommended if you want to expand your chord vocabulary from closed and open triads to 4 note chords. There is no lesson that shows practical application of this but I could make one if you guys require it
- 4 Part Harmony Drop 3 Voicings
Here again we have 4 lessons except I only recorded 2 out of 4. By the end of June I will record and publish remaining 2 lessons so this series will be completed.
As you see this is 16 lessons I created that are entirely dedicated to chord vocabulary, theory and harmony and chord voicings all over guitar neck. This method is universal and something that is much better than just focusing on CAGED system or any other method you did so far. I go in detail where in every lesson I cover every possible string set how to play given chord in all octaves! This should be very useful for all members of GMC. There is more that I have planed but for time being this should be gold mine for you guys that are looking to expand your chord voicings and learn some harmony and theory as well as your way around the guitar neck.
Let me know if you got any questions!

Unlike previous Awful Ideas, this isn't so much a recommendation for what could or should be done in gaming. Rather, it's a thought exercise that asks what you would do if something truly awful happened. Namely, what if there were no more new video games coming out – ever? Do you think you could remain a "gamer"?
For the purposes of this experiment, existing games would be unaffected. In fact, games that are out now could still receive patches, updates, expansions, and so on, but they'd still essentially be the same game. There would be no major engine overhauls and no graphical improvements – which might not be as bad as it sounds at first. After all, if a game is the prettiest game around right now, it would still be the prettiest game in 10 years because nothing new would have come out to make it seem outdated.
And while we're in the realm of fantasy, let's even go so far as to assume that the games that exist now will be around forever and will essentially keep doing the same thing they do now from a financial/cash shop standpoint. In other words, a free-to-play game won't suddenly jack up prices (or drastically slash them, except during the occasional sale). In a way, the games industry would be "frozen" in the overall state it is right now, except for new content releases.
So the question is: How long would you remain satisfied with just what exists right now? It might seem truly awful, but my belief is that you'd do better than you think.
Everything Old is New
A lot of you probably have a game you play continuously, like an MMO, MOBA, or shooter. It's something you've played for years and while you may take breaks from time to time, you always go back to it. That would still be around, and you could enjoy it until… well, until you die.
That probably seems… unappealing. I mean, I like my MMOs just fine, but I don't know that I want to play them for the next 50 years or so, assuming I live that long. Eventually, I'll probably want to move on. Even if I still like the game, playing it for the next several decades seems tiring.
This is the point my doomsday scenario hinges on: Is there enough stuff out there currently available to keep you entertained until you croak?
Well, the first question is, how many games would you need to make you happy? Let's say that you can get into a new game and explore pretty much all it has to explore every month. That's less time than a "service" game like an MMO should probably hold your interest but longer than the time it takes to get through most single-player games – though it might be assumed that you've got something else to play during that time as well, or that you'll spend more time savoring the game rather than just racing through to the end.
At that rate, you'll need 12 "new" games a year. I'll admit to being a slow player, the type who likes to "savor" a game, but since signing up for Raptr in July of 2011 – nearly four full years ago – the service has tracked me as playing 55 games for five hours or more, and 46 that I played for the first time after signing up for the service, so I've dedicated significant time to about 12 new games per year. Some of those were games I checked out for review purposes, and not because I had any genuine interest in them, but I'll count them anyway.
This means we'll need 600 games over 50 years, which I'll pencil in as how long you'll go before you expire. Steam lists 4,500 games in its library, so even if you only had Steam games to choose from, you'd only have to find good entertainment value from about 13% of its total library. Toss in non-Steam games, especially console titles without PC ports, and classic games – which would probably see a resurgence in popularity in this dystopia – and you've probably got a few thousand more.
Concerned about quality? Metacritic lists 454 games with a Metascore of 90 or higher and 3,260 ranked 80 or higher. Yes, there are some repeats in there, owing to multiple platform releases, and Metacric isn't the do-all and end-all of ratings, that's still a lot of decent-or-better games to choose from.
For me, at least, a number of those 55 Raptr games are games that I liked well enough but didn't get into because I had other things to occupy me or that I liked more. Once I'm done with those games, maybe I'd go back to the games that I was semi-interested in. I'd wager many of you have a handful or more games where you think, "I like that, but I just don't have time for it." Well, what if you did?
Live for the Moment
Sure, we're all looking forward to new games, but I think part of the reason for that is because it makes it easier to dismiss whatever flaws we perceive in the games we have now and move on from them. A game that hasn't been released yet is still perfect – we haven't played it, been frustrated by it, raged at it, been angry at how our favorite play style was nerfed by the devs, etc. All of those will happen, as they happen in the games we play now, but for the moment, an unreleased game is still in a pristine, shiny bubble, full of expectation and potential without any of the flaws that come with actual, real-life products.
If we didn't have those to look forward to, maybe we'd realize that the games we have now… well, maybe they aren't so bad. Yes, they have their issues, and we'd like to see various things changed or fixed, but maybe we'd appreciate what we had more if we didn't have an unrealistic ideal to compare them to. How often have you said, "I'm sick of Game X. I'm going to wait until Game Y comes out, it'll be so much better." Maybe Game Y was better, but before too long, you got fed up with its little problems and started looking forward to Game Z. And after Game Z came out… well, you get the idea. If that cycle was broken, then what would you do? Would you realize that Game X wasn't so bad after all?
Even if you did consider yourself completely done with games you tried and then walked away from, you've only played a very small percentage of what's out there. Five-year-old games might not exactly be "new," but if you haven't played them, they're new to you. That's why Steam, GOG, and others make good money by sharply discounting old games. Even something that sold millions has people who haven't tried it yet.
Thankfully, short of some kind of global apocalypse, we shouldn't have to worry about there never being any more new games. But the next time you find yourself thinking, "There's nothing to play," take a moment to realize that there's a mountain of solid games out there, games that you'll probably never have the time to play – and that mountain keeps growing larger.

"What if there were no more new video games coming out?"
Yea, imagine that every single videogame for the last 5 years, was so bad, that it doesnt even qualify as a videogame for you…
Just TRY to imagine THIS absurd scenario… #storyofmylife
Seriously, as someone who played about 10 hours of new games in the last 5 years, i'd say that playing brainless stuff like WoW and LoL for all eternity works pretty well…
Kinda sad how gaming jumped the shark, and the best games in all genres have already been made. Some might say "but in the future consoles have more potential", but they said that 10 years ago too. Do we now have the gigantic game worlds that we imagined 10 years ago? No, worlds are STILL tiny and "unexplorable" as hell… Still the SAME invisible walls in EVERY game, that we had 10 years ago.
Gaming just doesn't evolve anymore, only the graphics get better, while the controls and even the visuals are getting worse in many ways (experimental controls like 6 axis, massive input lag on new tvs)
Wish i would see a single sequel to a popular franchise, where the developers didn't put 90% of their work into the graphics, or other ridiculous stuff, like nintendo, who puts time and work into "forcing the players to play the game how the game designer wants it". The creator of (i think) Smash Bros, was FURIOUS, when he heard that people play the game competitive, without items. Just imagine this… Developers get MAD, because people like to play the actual good part of their game, without the added bullshit… Imagine that in YOUR favorite game. Imagine in world of warcraft, you use the /roll function, to play a game of dice with a random guy, and then the wow launcher shows you an article about "how bad gamers are, that dont do actual content!".
Imagine you own a basketball, you play football with it, and then the factory owner, who produced the ball, gets mad at you for using it as a football…
The only entertainment in new games, is to see the idiots who made them, lose their jobs and get shamed in public. Ever since i saw the Final Fantasy series being sold to money grabbing bastards, my opinions is that everyone who makes a sequel to a famous game just for the money, can go straight to hell. Perfect example is this… Warhammer 40k game… EVERYONE knows that Warhammer 40 is RTS… People that take Plants versus zombies, change the Plants into Space Marines, the zombies into Chaos, calls that crap Warhammer 40k and sells it for a billion bucks per copy on steam… can go STRAIGHT to… superhell… seriously… so mad… Imagine i make a game called Final Fantasy 17, but its a dating sim, which you can't see on the pictures, because the actual dating sim pictures, look like they belong into an RPG… Can't believe that such bullshit is legal…
Really wish i had no soul either, then i could just take a few photos of my home, tell steam that this is the newest hyperreslistic zombie shooter, ask for 60$ for beta access, and then after 5 years just add another picture, call it v1.0, and be happy with the million dollars that i got for uploading 5 pictures to Stream and call it a game, while telling people lies…
Many many wow!!!1
"Namely, what if there were no more new video games coming out – ever? Do you think you could remain a "gamer"?"
It would seem you sir missed something rather crucial.
Life is a game too.
And now that you know, feel free to re-think your views.
Imagine all the emulated games that I could catch up on =0
Yea most of games released or in development bring nothing really new …..
Kickstarter, etc … all i see is "early access" "ideas" "concept" but where are the promised game ? everyone sells his alpha,beta, years past, and the " revolutionary" game never comes to life.
And as you said "niche" … mean even if something good comes out, it lack the playebase, or don't make enough money to go further ,to the next level…
Big companies play it safe(no real innovation), 90% of time, and good games often comes with stupid business model … Overall it's pretty boring, me too i am playing on PC for ~15 years, i rarely find something exciting to play, and most games i play only a few hours , because it s all the same… i am bored before the end of tutorial, because i can see this and that, ok , did this kind of game 120x, no thanks.
+ now people have problem with "balance" , on lot of game this is topic n*1 … because if something "OP" , 80% are going to do that,and nothing else!! …. that's another reason why it is often sad …and most concept fails .Many players do what works(or what others do), rather than what they like, or what they want to do .
really i do believe not only games maker should be questioned, but also and mostly players.
Do not judge the gamer community by a brass tacks logic of giving us new games will occupy our time. it's a give and take we take a game and give more on it ex: sharing it with friends, etc now instead of if game which is all about itself and now caring for it's community it's a dead game which it's community will dwindle. Kind of like the aspect of a King and Country sort of thing would the King be the right or the Country that chooses it's king. Neither or less basically there are older games and we can make good upon like modding but we can also try older version of games and go down sweet memory lane. I prefer playing some text based choice adventure games sometimes instead of playing a mmo for a example.
I only read half or a quarter of the post, just encase it was brought up farther down. First idea I thought of when you say no new games. Is the previous big hits, like skyrim or divinity: original sin. That supported community mods would get more support. With lack of new games I think mods would get more light.
Well, I´ve been following and waiting for Star Citizen since November 2012. And I will probably be waiting for another 2 years.
However, this game could very well bring something really new and innovating and as for what I have already seen and played, my hopes are still up that it´s going to live up to the promise.
As soon as this game goes gold, this dystopia can very well come to pass, as I will be blissfully happy sitting at my pc and playing this game until I die 😉
When I was a child, I played a game called Breath of Fire IV, but couldn't finish it. Now, I'm playing it again, and enjoying it alot. If I can enjoy a game that is more than 15 years old, then there must be alot more games that I could enjoy. So yeah, we do have enough games to play, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if there were no more new games… still a awful idea tho.
Isn't that whats happening now anyways? all the asshole game devs that re-sell a remastered old game? how many games in a YEAR are "new" that have refreshing new storys and features these days?! one call of duty black poop shit spamm after the other, same old chinease f2p garbages every month.. i dont know what to say man… i have been playing on the PC for almost 14 or 15 Years, and i am getting very bored. And i kinda think the best time of gaming is past us, where you paid arround 40 bucks for a game like Sacred, DAOC, Diablo 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or hate it or love it WoW which is still in my oppinion the best bet if you want something long-lasting these days, and you could immerse yourself for over 300 hours or even more. If you were done you could get a Addon for a few bucks and get annother 300 hours ( Addons = these days called DLCs which are just shorter for you young folks ) and here we are 2015 where everything is just about the money, paying 60 bucks for a 2 hours "pretty graphics but no story game" and the oh so lovely DLC spamms with like Evolve for 15€ for a god damn annother Beast.. this is all just so damn dumb, or look what the hell EA is doing.. all just tedious and stupid…
Thankfully there is kickstarter and stuff! Niche games can still be made and succeed.. But yes i agree, people are spending money on shit asian p2w games and not funding people who actually want to make good stuff.. I know 2 devs who are trying to make niche mmorpgs and doing it with almost 0 funding (out of their pockets) and failing kickstarters because they aren't putting the words "sandbox" "worldpvp" etc in the game description… What's with everyone suddenly hating themeparks and looooving sandboxes.. Sure they can be good but very hard to balance and so usually can't have both good pve and pvp.. (see archeage, go dungeon, lock boss in place, keep killing him xD)
the problems is that the market is full of themeparks, people want to be free to what they want, they have singleplayer for a great themepark experience…
Flowerpoker was so epic in Runescape
well, there's wow so all questions are answered already. with good marketing and responsive game development you can turn anything into long living zombie, wow, again.
imo, there's a lot of ideas and in-game-unique-systems that would make nice games with updates, but it's not games themself, it's publishers that tent to ruin even most humble ideas in gaming, especially in f2p.
so jason, nice thought, but i don't the problem is even close to something you are describing.

We all know how Samsung suffered a backlash in 2015 because of the fault with their Samsung note 7, which ended up in the company recalling the device last October. After investigations it was discovered that the explosion was caused by faulty batteries which Samsung happened to get from their chinese battery makers.
This incidence caused a loss in consumer trust and wiping out $5.3 billion of operating profit, and ended up allowing Apple's iPhone to overtake it in sales.
At the end of a product presentation at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the company showed a short video clip announcing the date for its traditional "Unpacked Event".
Samsung Electronics said on it would launch its next key device the Galaxy S8, on 29 March.
The smartphone is coming with a battery from Samsung's new batter suppliers, LG, and you don't expect the same incident that occured with Note 7.
The Galaxy S8 will feature a 5.8-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED display, 4GB of RAM, IP68 dust and water resistance, 12MP dual-pixel camera, 8MP front camera, an iris scanner, 64GB of expandable memory, Samsung Pay, wireless charging, and bundled earphones tuned by AKG.
In addition to its amazing specs, both the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the alleged S8+ are expected to come with Samsung Bixby; a digital assistant which will launch alongside these flagships with support for up to eight languages.
One thing that makes this device exceptionally beautiful is that it will be the first phone to feature Qualcomms new chipset, Snapdragon 835 chipset. Earlier reports made it known to us that some smartphone brands that wanted to feature the new chipset on their flagships couldn't because of Samsung.

I absolutely cannot get a decent picture of Madison these days. She rarely likes having her picture taken, so that's why most in this post are of Landon! I got one of her sleeping on the way home from church though....I hate it when their necks do that.
So sweet!
Lazy morning
Looking adoringly at his sister...he loves her.
Swinging outside on the front porch with Daddy.
Gagging on peas...anything with a different texture he gags on...such a little wimp! Then he laughs about it.
McDonald's for lunch after playing at the park.
And a few videos. Landon trying to wake up and then trying to grab HALF of a yogurt melt. He can't handle it! He has a hard time trying to pick up finger foods. Gotta work on that pincer grasp!

Isabel RocesMonday, April 07, 2008
I met Isabel Roces today. I have seen her in several glossies and have read her name almost everywhere. I've always loved her face and her cheekbones, and I that day, I got to do her makeup.
Her eyes have a chinita-almond shape so lining them and applying makeup with an upward stroke would look best on her. Practically every color in the palette looked good on her so it was not challenge! I love her face, and her face is a great as her personality. Isabel is definitely one of my fave models :) Not to mention, she used to be in the same barkada with my cousin! Small world!

2011 NFL District Student of the Year Information
Okay NFL Districts across the Nation, you have until April 15th, 2011 to select your District Student of the Year. This award is for graduating seniors only, and if selected for District Student of the Year, that NFL member then has the chance of becoming a National Student of the Year candidate. Remember, selections must be done and submitted by e-mail on/by April 15th for candidates to be eligible as a National Student of the Year.
The NFL also had this to say in their statement:
"Each charter, provisional, or member chapter can nominate one graduating senior for this honor, ONLY using the official form. Special care should be taken to reward students who embody the NFL Code of Honor and are not necessarily 'champion' students. A district's winner need NOT be a national qualifier, but if s/he is not in an NFL main event, s/he must come to the National Tournament as a qualifier in 'Student of the Year,' if selected as one of the six national finalists."
The required form, and ideas on how to select a student, can be found here.
The full statement from the NFL, with contact information for Adam Jacobi for questions, can be found here.

Sharing Configuration
Once you have a volume, create at least one share so that the storage is accessible by the other computers in your network. The type of share you create depends upon the operating system(s) running in your network, your security requirements, and expectations for network transfer speeds.
NOTE: shares are created to provide and control access to an area of storage. Before creating your shares, it is recommended to make a list of the users that will need access to storage data, which operating systems these users are using, whether or not all users should have the same permissions to the stored data, and whether or not these users should authenticate before accessing the data. This information can help you determine which type of share(s) you need to create, whether or not you need to create multiple datasets in order to divide up the storage into areas with differing access and permission requirements, and how complex it will be to setup your permission requirements. It should be noted that a share is used to provide access to data. If you delete a share, it removes access to data but does not delete the data itself.
The following types of shares and services are available:
Apple (AFP) Shares: the Apple File Protocol (AFP) type of share is a good choice if all of your computers run Mac OS X.
Unix (NFS) Shares: the Network File System (NFS) type of share is accessible by Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, and the professional/enterprise versions (not the home editions) of Windows. It is a good choice if there are many different operating systems in your network. Depending upon the operating system, it may require the installation or configuration of client software on the desktop.
Windows (CIFS) Shares: the Common Internet File System (CIFS) type of share is accessible by Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and BSD computers, but it is slower than an NFS share due to the single-threaded design of Samba. It provides more configuration options than NFS and is a good choice on a network containing only Windows systems. However, it is a poor choice if the CPU on the FreeNAS® system is limited; if your CPU is maxed out, you need to upgrade the CPU or consider another type of share.
If you are looking for a solution that allows fast access from any operating system, consider configuring the FTP service instead of a share and use a cross-platform FTP and file manager client application such as Filezilla. Secure FTP can be configured if the data needs to be encrypted.
If data security is a concern and your network's users are familiar with SSH command line utilities or WinSCP, consider configuring the SSH service instead of a share. It will be slower than unencrypted FTP due to the overhead of encryption, but the data passing through the network will be encrypted.
NOTE: while the GUI will let you do it, it is a bad idea to share the same volume or dataset using multiple types of access methods. Different types of shares and services use different file locking methods. For example, if the same volume is configured to use both NFS and FTP, NFS will lock a file for editing by an NFS user, but a FTP user can simultaneously edit or delete that file. This will result in lost edits and confused users. Another example: if a volume is configured for both AFP and CIFS, Windows users may be confused by the extra filenames used by Mac files and delete the ones they don't understand; this will corrupt the files on the AFP share. Pick the one type of share or service that makes the most sense for the types of clients that will access that volume, and configure that volume for that one type of share or service. If you need to support multiple types of shares, divide the volume into datasets and use one dataset per share.
This section will demonstrate how to create AFP, NFS, and CIFS shares. FTP and SSH configurations are described in the Services Configuration section.

As part of my virtual tour for you of my adopted hometown of Natick, MA I recently gushed about its public library in the center of town. And while that library is amazing in size, service, collection, history and architecture it is not my favorite library in Natick. You see, we are lucky enough to have not one, but TWO libraries in town.
The Bacon Free Library is located in historic South Natick, a short walk from where we rented our apartment before buying a home closer to the center. When we lived there I was too busy with planning a wedding and trying to find a home to bother with reading. In fact, that point in my life came near the end of a long reading drought so I never stepped foot in the "little library" just up the street until I became less self-absorbed and had moved across town. But the first time that I did visit it to pick up an inter-library loan I actually gasped. What the heck had I been missing?!
This place is very small and very old. It smells like you are living inside a very old but very well loved book. It looks like you are browsing around someone's home. It is compact which makes it impossible to be there without getting to know the others visiting the library that day.
In fact, it is best known for its incredibly popular Story Hour. Families pack the place with kids eager to be told tales from kindly librarians with a gift for capturing attention and harnessing imagination. There are also monthly Art for All programs which encourage people of all ages to stop by and become creative together in the medium of the month. Then there is the Author Series where writers big and small give intimate talks to interested patrons. Sue Grafton is one such example.
The library is nestled along the banks of the Charles River - that pretty slice of water you see the Boston 4th of July fireworks shoot off of each summer. Of course, The Charles stretches throughout the state, but the downtown shots are how most people recognize it. But that is a post for another day. The library sits up on a hill and the sloping hill plateaus out underneath huge shade trees with the beautiful Natick Dam spilling behind on the river. This is where they host the authors, free music performances, garden tours and fund raising events. It is tucked out of the way of the traffic and is just an awesome spot to dive right in to that new book you just checked out.
Natick's Historical Society is housed in the basement of the library and has very limited hours but I am hoping to get there one day when they are open. I would love to know more about the building itself. All that the website tells me is that the library has existed since 1880 and is one of the oldest in the country. Like libraries everywhere it is hurting from budget cuts and is doing its best to stay open and staffed full-time with employees receiving part-time wages. This past weekend they had a big rummage sale which netted me a stationery set and a small rug for Andy's latest Andy Town project - the shed. But there were lots of other pretty items to choose from.
I hope its doors are able to stay open for this section of the community. It is like the Mom & Pop store trying not to get overlooked by the big chains. I do my best to support it and wish I had spent time there when I lived just around the corner. Natick's "little library" has a big heart and a long history. And we are lucky to have her.
