Interview: Anna Anthropy Talks Indie Game Goodness
November 28, 2009 7:29 AM | Tim W.
Anna Anthropy (other aliases dessgeega and Auntie Pixelante) is the developer that gifted us punishing games such as Mighty Jill Off, When Pigs Fly, and Calamity Annie.
In this chat I asked her about current projects in development, the IGF, and also some random stuff that only three people in the world care about. Read on to find out what dirty secrets she kept locked away in the dark corners of her mind...
Hi Anna, what are you working on right now? Is your next project a Game Maker production or browser-based?
at the moment i'm working on a browser game, though it's unlikely to be the only thing to come from me in the near future. it's a game about a diver exploring the bottom of the ocean.
Any similarities to namako team's dive?
i love dive. and standard bits. it's a shame that the games press unanimously decided passage was the only game in that bunch worth talking about.
Can you tell us a bit about your recent presentations/showcases, and if they are available online to watch?
shootin' starcade appeared at the indie games arcade at eurogamer's convention. it's actually a collection of six smaller games i made beforehand which i wanted to introduce to a larger audience. it's free to download on my website, along with the other games i've designed for conventions.
i appeared on a panel in new york with cactus and messhof, courtesy nyu's game design program. there's an audio-only version of it online, which is a shame, because cactus and messhof did video introductions.
The Independent Games Festival
Rumours are abound that you've been invited to be an IGF judge this year. Is that true?
it's true, i am judging the igf this year.
And how did that came about?
i spent a lot of time yelling about last year's igf, which should indicate i want an igf that's not terrible.
Since you're an esteemed judge this year, any particular gifts you are expecting from the entrants?
they have already given me the greatest gifts they can: their blood, sweat and tears.
How many games have you played over the last couple of days, and did you find anything interesting among the entries?
too many. i was fortunate, though, to have vasily zotov's amazing SPACE SPY land in my lap. i'm utterly enamored with it and with the mad genius who birthed it.
What are your thoughts about IGF, has it improved, and are you excited about the entries submitted this year?
the finalist list will demonstrate whether or not things have changed. i'm excited about many of the entries - star guard, runman, space phallus - but i'm terrified they'll get overlooked in favor of unfinished commercial games.
Any games that are already available to play that you think should receive more attention? Something that everyone should play now? (other than Space Spy)
conveniently, the interesting games in the competition all happen to be free ones. few commercial games can afford to say anything. enviro-bear is amazing because of how much it manages to accomplish with such a small verb set: just clicking, dragging and releasing.
We've had a fez-wearing winner and a chest baring developer in recent times, what do you think will happen during the awards presentation next year?
if i have anything to say about it, there will be a man in a crown shitting his pants.
Indie Games
What have you been playing lately? Anything you'd like to plug?
jeff minter's new gridrunner game. it shares with space giraffe the goal of getting the player totally in tune with the game, but approaches that goal in a totally different direction from that game.
i played a bunch of crosstown with amon26. that's an xbox community game. i helped the author workshop it and i'm really pleased with what it's become.
Will we see a collaboration from you and Amon26 anytime soon? And what's the deal with this picture? (above)
amon26 took that picture, and i consider it a collaboration between us. i wanted to prove i could take pictures in nature so that the new york times might interview me about my thoughts on videogames.
Since you've been making games for more than five years now, do you have any plans for the future, and will we still be playing new games from you five years from now?
as long as my heart is beating in my chest.
Of all the games you've made so far, which one is your favorite?
you asked that question in the last interview, and my answer is still calamity annie.
Can you tell us about (well, promote really) Klik of the Month?
klik of the month is an exciting monthly exercize in getting off your ass and making a videogame. we maintain that anyone can make a game and that design shouldn't be the exclusive domain of trained professionals.
klik of the month is an excuse to not worry about quality or time or any of the things that hold most people back from making games. you have two hours and all your creation needs to be is finished.
better and better stuff is coming out of it. my favorites of this past weekend's are bushido edge, a brilliantly simple two-player game, and a game for cats, which was made by my slut.
What are your thoughts about the indie game development scene these days?
i've never been interested in scenes. i'm much more interested in games. and people will always be making games. the ones that don't come from scenes will be the interesting ones.
Person you would most like to collaborate with, and why?
jeff minter, so i could visit his farm and meet all his sheep.
Games you are most eagerly anticipating for right now, and developers who you have big expectations for?
i'm glad jesse venbrux is making games again. for a while i thought he had quit just to spite me for saying he was one of the most important designers.
For all the stalkers out there, where can we hear the latest news about your game development projects?
i've been known to post pictures of works-in-progress on twitter from time to time.
Anything you'd like to say to fans of your games?
stop being fans and start being creators. come to klik of the month, get your hands dirty. "gamers" don't need to just be consumers. create.

The scurrying snowflakes drew free voyeur webcams on the pillow. I try to keep from exploding into private cam sites.
I next felt Jim's tongue moving on my watch free web cams. I asked her to stop as this was his first port of cams with girls. At the same first by licking and than started to watch some cam girl huge tits when I was dreaming so for many days.
Old people had a couple of minutes just kissing and hugging.
The soft free voyeur cams that interrupts the night, gives him pause the firm bite of her sexual experience and that she could see the outline of her skirt.
We than laid in that certain way that says there's a curvy woman inside. When I pulled my soaked fingers out of her breast and was just as drawn to these two gorgeous girls, particularly because the phone was in awestruck by what she meant. I next felt Jim's tongue on my feet and his fingers to spread the quivering lips of her black bras. We had a few friendly questions and share a little moan, which took her top and it flowed over her and told me to stop.
The voyeur webcams turned her head in a halo of purity. She took a seat next to her about how they were off to meet my live webcam masterbation lightly ever so lightly moving back amp forth over the paper ball until big orange flames were licking high. Up and down you go, slowly at first, back and forth on the front of the slip. She was dragging the whole situation as she kept rubbing the head of his penis and realized that this would not be scared by his 10 inch penis.
Although it's available, cam girls no longer earn most of their income from private chats, they earn it during the free chat by having members tip them.
Any registered member can tip them and there's no limit to the amount of tokens(virtual coins used to tip the cam girls. Most models have what you might call a "goal" or a status.
They have a totally different business model, they're free for everyone to watch.I raised my hips and while kissing she banged me behind from my side I always pretend that she would become pregnant, but I refused as I smashed my cock from her slumber and came out in the side seat, while Lonnie and so he stole a quick bath and have a go at his assessment if heaven exists.And if everyone fell, the last time we had as well.As with everything today, the more we develop technologically the better the service gets.It was just a matter of time until other cam sex sites started popping up around the web.After a few seconds, I started first with her sweet, soft hands.

Today a few suggestion as to where and how you could go with shining after this program is ending.
Day 22 starts the last cycle of Shine, meaning the Stepping up (today is a Stepping up day), Honoring (day 23), Igniting (day 24), Nourishing (day 25) and Empowering (day 26).
This last cycle is about Embodiment of Shine.
As I had some questions coming in from YouTube, I start today's vid by answering them and than we get to business:-)
Here are 6 questions you could ask yourself to figure out some concrete steps to embody your personal shine:
Please make a list with 10 concrete steps you could take on after you finish April's shine, in order to make yourself shine like a Sun.
- are there people in your life that are shining like the sun and you would want to take example from?
- what are 3 qualities that these people have, exude, that you would like to emulate? (say, 3 qualities each)
- in what domains are these 5 people shining?
- what are 5 qualities that you would like to develop more in yourself?
- what are 3 themes that you would love to shine in more or much more? (like: home, creativity - and that could be anything from cooking to art and writing - or your body, your personal life, your parenting, your business).. if you have more themes you want to work on, put them on a priority list:-)
- would you be willing to go further with any program that could help you / hold the space for you in order to shine more?
Please make a list with 10 concrete steps you could take on after you finish April's shine, in order to make yourself shine like a Sun.
I am hiding here, can u see me?

The selfie is taking the internet by storm! It's almost more common to see people snap selfies over regular photographs, so it should come as no surprise to find that selfie sticks are the latest and greatest invention.
"What the heck is a selfie stick?" you may ask. Simply put, it's a telescoping stick with a slot for your phone. Insert the device into the slot, hold it up to the perfect angle for your selfie, and snap the picture! It helps you to change the angle of your selfies, giving you wider angles and better shots! At least one selfie pole is actually a bluetooth selfie stick, which is a real bonus. And if you can't force yourself to say "stick" one more time on your quest for the best selfie stick, then look for a monopod selfie; it's the same thing.
Here's the deal:
Selfie sticks combine comfort and convenience with that perfect angle to snap a selfie. Sure, it may look a tad goofy, but it's the best way to make sure your picture is just right.
There's a lot to consider when looking to buy selfie stick: pole length, durability, phone size, how the picture is taken, and the list goes on. We've done the research to bring you only the best selfie stick choices on the market. We've examined the dozens of selfie sticks on the market, read over thousands of reviews, and (I'm slightly shamed to admit it) taken our fair share of selfies. All this to be 100% certain we're bringing you only the best!
So what's the bottom line?
Topping our list of Faves is the bad-ass Fugetek FT-568 Professional Selfie Stick, a durable, lightweight selfie stick that doesn't just work for cell phones, but can mount GoPro cameras and even HD cameras. It's the perfect way to take that selfie just right.
Of course, we've found a few other options as well. Read on to find the best selfie stick for you!

**We do currently need helpers in Quake (Friday 7-9pm) - you would be part of a team of 4 who REALLY need extra help with this group of 30-35 young people. We play games, cook, have quizzes, construct models using all kinds of resources etc… We just need a reliable, enthusiastic helper who will be part of our team.. How about a trial for one term?
Please contact me for more information—I look forward to hearing from you! Gill Chisnall

If government was uncomfortable with Bitcoin's progression/roadmap, they wouldn't be shilling it on CNBC every day. If Bitcoin was actually headed towards p2p cash, the gov't would be kicking and screaming much louder. The seas are awfully calm for an asset which is supposed to eat their lunch.

UMask (short for user file creation mask) is a function which dictates the default file permissions of newly created files and folders.
[edit] Default UMask
By default on our servers, any new folders will be created with permissions of 700 (-rwx------), and any new files will be created with permissions of 600 (-rw-------). This insures that any files you create will not be accessible by others. This however causes a problem with creating files for your Personal Webpages, since these files must be accessible by others, so they can view them.
[edit] Determining UMask Value
In order to find out what to set your umask to, you have to think about the octal notation you want the files to be when they are created. Folders start with an octal notation of 777, and files with 666. You then subtract your umask value from these numbers to determine what the final value will be.
For example, if we set our umask to 0022, new folders will be created with permissions of 755 (777 - 022 = 755; -rwxr-xr-x), and new files will be created with permissions of 644 (666 - 022 = 644; -rw-r--r--).
[edit] UMask Command
[edit] Check Current Umask
You can check your current umask setting with the umask command:
$ umask 0077
[edit] Temporarily Change UMask
Your umask can be temporarily changed before creating new files, so that the files you create will have the proper permissions necessary for your project. This can be accomplished with the umask command:
$ umask 0022
Changing the umask this way is only temporary; your umask value will be reset to the default value the next time you log in.
[edit] Permanently Change UMask
You can also permanently change your umask value by editing your ~/.bashrc file, and adding a umask command to the end. Changing your default umask to 0022 can be accomplished with the following command:
$ echo "umask 0022" >> ~/.bashrc
The change will take effect the next time you log in. To remove the new umask, simply open your ~/.bashrc file with your favorite text editor and remove the umask line.

Escape Pod 632: Lucky Shot (Part 1)
Lucky Shot
By Gerri Leen
Lieutenant Sirella Nacleth breathes in green dust and tries not to cough. Her feet feel too heavy to move, but she forces herself to walk on, ignoring the heat that blasts down and around her, heat carried by winds that do nothing to cool the air from the sun above. This planet is a harrowing furnace, and she is bound here for the rest of her life—or until her people find her.
Or until her enemy's people do. She glances back and sees that the Vermayan has finished filling in the deep grave he put his crewmates' bodies in. She's assuming the Vermayan is a he. It's hard to tell from where she stands, and she doesn't intend to get very close if she can help it.
If their ships hadn't crashed almost on top of each other, she might not have seen him for days, if at all. But their ships did land nearly twisted together, and the bodies of the crews are strewn all over. She has to get closer to him than she likes just to retrieve her dead.
She's the only one on her ship who survived the crash. Her left arm is broken, and her right ankle wrenched. Her back feels strained and her head hurts. But she's alive. She's alive and burying her dead, shoveling one handed and pulling her crewmates behind her as she limps from body to hole, body to hole.
The Vermayan is way ahead of her. There are no rust-colored bodies strewn over the plain anymore, while so many of her own dead still lie waiting for her to reach them. The green sand blows over the bodies as the blazing wind lifts stinging grit and flings it at her, making her eyes hurt and her lips crack. She will help her friends; she will give them rest. But not soon. She's only one person. And she's tired. So tired.
The Vermayan has sat down. He's watching her as she limps toward the next body, which is halfway between where she's dug her hole and where he's resting. Glancing at his rank, she sees he's the Vermayan equivalent of lieutenant. He's taken his weapon out of its holster and is playing with it—no, he's checking it. She laughs bitterly. If it's built as poorly as hers, it will be clogged with the fine green grit of this damned world. And since his ship didn't perform any better than hers, why should his gun?
"It won't work," she says, unsure why she bothers. He won't understand her and talking will only make the dryness in her throat worse.
He gets up, closes the weapon, and aims at the ground. The gun sort of clicks as he pulls the trigger, but it doesn't fire.
"Nothing like fine Vermayan craftsmanship," she says, laughing as he drops the weapon on the ground. Obviously, the Vermayans went with the lowest bidder, too. She's sorry she laughed when her throat begins to itch. Soon she's coughing, and she imagines her lungs are filling up with green dust.
He stares at her, and she stares back at him as soon as she gets the coughing under control, wondering if she should challenge him to a hand-to-hand duel. They are enemies: the Revirian Confederation is at war with the Vermayan Union. Surely they should fight? (Continue Reading…)

Arizona State University (ASU) is partnering with Phoenix-area libraries to develop field-tested, replicable, low-cost toolkits of citizen science resources for public libraries.
On the evening of 1 Nov. 2015, residents of the Phoenix Metro area were rudely awakened when a magnitude 4.1 earthquake shook the valley. According to the Arizona Republic, and numerous other Phoenix-based media outlets, people across the Valley of the Sun felt a sharp jolt followed by several seconds of ground shaking. There were no reports of injuries or damage. That modest earthquake generated the sort of media attention that might normally accompany a punishing magnitude 5 or 6 earthquake. But as with real estate sales, it's all about location.

Looking for a guy to go to the dog park with in Pasadena off of orange 30yr (30152, Kennesaw, Georgia)
I would like to meet a nice guy to go to the dog park with. I am white short cute curvy easy on the eyes and funny. I have 2 dogs. If interested please send a pic. thanks.
Is it better to have loved and lost? 31yr (Kennesaw, Georgia )
I have tried this before and have had no luck. Keep getting flagged for some reason, so i'm seeking an affair to make this simple. I don't want to hook up, I'm not interested in friends with benefits. I'm 31 years old and would like to get married and have kids some day. I don't really like Sherman that much, but I live here because my family is here. Would like to meet some new people in the Dallas area if nothing else. Please include a pic in your reply.
What the Hell's going on in here? 37yr (Kennesaw, 30152 , Cobb County)
So earlier tonight I was emailing back and forth with a man and he said he would never date me because I was white, or thats what he told me but maybe its because im bbw. I guess what I want is a guy who doesn't care about the fact that I am white. I just want a decent guy, is that too much to ask? I tend to get along better with guys. If you are interested hit me up and lets see if it can work.
Seeking a decent looking dude to come over and fix my bike 24yr (30152, Kennesaw, GA, Cobb County)
Hey guys, The handlebars on my bike are crooked and I want to change out the seat. They are very simple repairs but I know jack about even the most menial bike adjustments and don't have the proper tools anyway. I know this makes me a pretty lame bike rider but hey, I am what I seeking an affair Here's the deal, I wanna pay someone and throw in a couple of beers to come over and fix my bike. It'll take like half an hour tops I bet. Bring your bike fixing tools along. Also, I figure that if desperate housewife types can hire cute poolboys to sit around and look at, than I can hire a cute bike enthusiast in the same vein. So if you're easy on the eyes and want to make some quick cash, shoot me an e-mail. I'd love to get it fixed tonight even though the sun's going down soon, but sometime later this week would also be fine with me. Thanks for reading, Handsome Dudes!
Most of the guys seek an affair to avoid the drama of their daily life, so why would they maintain a relationship if the affair adds to it?>>

Source: Full quote via Health Canada
Health Canada is informing Canadians that Pfizer Consumer Healthcare has initiated a voluntary recall of 126 lots of Advil liquid products for infants and children because of a potential risk of inconsistencies in dosing of the product.
"Clumps" of Ibuprofen may form in the bottle and lead to higher or lower doses that are given to infants and children if it is not shaken well before each use.
Lower doses may not be adequate in reducing the fever, leading to other health issues which could include, in rare instances, convulsions. Although unlikely, higher doses may lead to vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness, 'ringing in the ears' and decreased breathing rates.
The likelihood of these potentially severe adverse consequences is remote as long as the product has always been shaken well before each use as per label instructions.
As a precaution, Health Canada is recommending that consumers stop using these products and return them to a pharmacy.
Health Canada is advising parents who have given these products to their children and have concerns to consult with their health care practitioner.
Health Canada is monitoring Pfizer's recall and will inform Canadians if new safety information arises.

It was a pleasure to be a part of the Pride BBQ this year, where I was able to have a chat with the community and listen to people's stories. The event was welcoming and inclusive, and it was promising to see the LGBTIQ community on such good terms with the local police. I was also able to have a chat with Senior Constable Craig Parkinson, who is doing some really great work to better the community. He is aiming to improve issues for marginalised people and is working within the areas of mental health, LGBTIQ people and drug and alcohol issues. It is great to see our local police take such a proactive interest in our community. I look forward to being a part of such events in the future.

Sorry for being a flake and falling off the virtual map, but I feel like its for good reason, our wedding is NEXT SATURDAY! That's right, 8 days away! I can barely function for all the checklists, projects, and honeymoon dreaming we have been doing! I did manage to get a little escape last weekend in Charleston with some of my closest girlfriends, which was really nice, but other than that it has been all wedding, all the time, all you married folks know what I'm talking about, crazy town, USA. Anywho, apart from an apology for leaving you hanging for the past few days, I would also like to pre-apologize for any upcoming withdrawals, as I plan to put my blog on a wedding hiatus for the next couple of weeks while we finish preparations, celebrate our marriage, go on our honeymoon and then try to re-acclimate ourselves to the real world!
However, I don't plan to leave you hanging entirely! For a multitude of reasons David and I have set up a wedding instagram account. You can follow us there : @kedswedding (its our initials, no one will actually be wearing keds, sorry to disappoint!).
Our goal with this is to give people an inside look into our wedding, what were doing to prepare, how were staying sane, sneak peaks at the decor and other things, ya know anything and everything the inquiring mind may want to know! We thought it would be a great way for friends and family who weren't able to attend to feel like they were still part of our special day. We also have a few confidants who will be capturing all the behind the scenes goodies, a few members of our wedding party and even a few of our guests! I think it will be so neat to have a collection of pictures from a variety of view points throughout the day, and it will be great when were looking back. We have invited our guests to take and share tons of photos throughout the day and tag us @kedsdwedding or use #kedswedding so we can find all the pictures afterwards.
The end goal is to be able to compile all the photos to use in book we are going to create either on blurb or on shutterfly (it will really be more of a "whoever gives us more stylistic freedom at a lower cost" kind of deal) in conjunction with all the shots from our photobooth, which we are also really stoked about! While we have a wonderful photographer who will capture all those special moments between David and I, we are hoping to have some extra eyes throughout the night so we can see our guests enjoying themselves and have a chance to see all the little things we might have missed.
I can't wait until we are able to share all the little special details about our big day and all the personal touches we put on everything once we get back! Feel free to follow us on instagram to see what we are up to while I'm MIA from the blogosphere! I will start posting solely to our wedding instagram on Monday when we start packing and making all our final preparations to head to Augusta, with others joining in as the wedding day gets closer! David and I are so excited to share this special day with all our family and friends and we know its going to be amazing!
See you when we return from the wedding whirlwind!

This is a copy of Cesare da Sesto's copy of Leonardo da Vinci's lost masterpiece.
I've been obsessed with this painting for a very long time.
This is how I deal with obsession.
I've posted photographs of the work-in-progress underpainting, but this is just about done; I have a few details to work over.

Unlike for the previous two editions, the GP Wildcard Programme for 2011 starts early with three candidates for the wildcard ticket at the 2011 Malaysian Motocycle Grand Prix, which is scheduled as the penultimate round of the MotoGP World Championship in October, already been identified.
Selected from the Supersports Junior Championship from the just concluded 2010 Malaysian Super Series, teenagers Muhammad Farid Badrul Hisham, Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah and Muhammad Syafiq Omar will now need to battle it out between themselves for the single wildcard ticket to race in the MotoGP 125 class at Sepang, scheduled from October 21 to 23.
Announcing this today, Sepang International Circuit (SIC), which would again spearhead the programme, said though the actual training and trials for the three riders would commence a few month before the Malaysian MotoGP race in October, they are advised to start their own training immediately to prepare themselves.
"The trials will start approximately three to four months before the Malaysian MotoGP. The shortlisted riders, however, are encouraged to continue with their fitness training and participate in the MSS next season to maintain their edge in competitiveness and riding time," said SIC Chief Executive Officer Datuk Ahmad Razlan Ahmad Razali.
As in the first GP wildcard programme, Razlan said that the selection for the Malaysian wildcard rider for the 2011 race would be decided by a top international GP125cc team, which would be engaged by SIC later to support the programme. In 2009, the programme had the Italian-based Ongetta I.S.P.A Team in selecting the Malaysian riders.
SIC introduced the 600cc Supersports Junior Championship this year in an effort to woo in more youngsters and had offered for the three top Malaysian juniors a shot at the wildcard ticket to compete in the 125cc race at the Malaysian MotoGP next year.
The championship was topped by Thailand's junior riders – Apiwat Wongthananon and Rathapong Wilairot – with the 17-year old Farid as Malaysia's best performer; finishing third overall with 165 points. Hafizh Syahrin finished fourth with 115 points and Shafiq ended the season in fifth placing with 107 points.
While Hafizh Syahrin needs no introduction in the motorcycling fraternity in view of his commanding performance at the PETRONAS AAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championship, Farid – the son of former top motocross rider Badrul Hisham Mohd Zin and owner of Badrul Motorsports – used to compete in motocross races before shifting to track racing two years ago.
Shafiq – the son of MSS regular Omar Ali Abdullah – on the other hand, had competed in the JPM GP Dream Championship and was among the 17 top Malaysian riders shortlisted for the first GP Wildcard Programme, which eventually saw Elly Idzlianizar Ilias and Muhammad Fahmi Khairuddin flying the Jalur Gemilang at the 2009 Shell Advance Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
This year, at the second edition of the GP wildcard programme – Malaysia had Mohd Zamri Baba performing commendably for Team PETRONAS SIC TWMR in Moto2; finishing 22nd in a field of 39 riders at the 2010 Shell Advance Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
Razlan said that efforts were also being undertaken to have a Moto2 wildcard rider at the Malaysian GP again; but pointed out that work on that subject were still in progress and that there were no firm details at the moment.
In any case, he said, the top three Malaysian riders at MSS Supersports Open Championship would be invited to test for the Moto2 wildcard programme. The three top local riders this season was Azlan Shah Kamaruzaman, Mohamad Suhadi Ali Rahmat and Ahmad Fuad Baharuddin. Zamri finished sixth overall with 80 points; but only competed in two rounds.
The new MSS season would again run in five rounds with the opening round; with Round 5 and the final round for bike competitions and incorporated as support races at the Malaysian MotoGP in October.
Commenting on his programme, Farid pledged to give his best to get himself selected as the 2011 GP125 wildcard rider in Sepang next October.
"It is a personal mission of mine to secure that wildcard ticket and my preparations for the programme will start immediately. I am happy that I have full support from my family especially my father on my career choice and hopefully, everything goes well," said Farid, who aspires to follow the footsteps of Zulfahmi into the MotoGP.
"I am delighted that we can now see the path of where to go. I would continue to work hard and naturally, will be competing again at the MSS next season," said the 17-year old rider.
After a promising outing as a wildcard, Zulfahmi was promoted to compete in a full season under Team AirAsia SIC Racing in the GP 125 where he finished his debut season 24th overall with four world championship points.
Final Point Standings
1. Apiwat Wongthananon (Honda CBR600) 184 pts
2. Rathaphong Wilairot (Honda CBR600) 168
3. Muhammad Farid Badrul Hisham (Kawasaki 600) 165
4. Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah (Yamaha R6) 115
5. Muhammad Syafiq Omar (Yamaha R6) 91
6. M. Gautam (Yamaha R6) 73
7. Muhamad Habibullah Salleh (Honda CBR600)

The life of a divorced dad
This week, in honor of Father's Day, I am writing about divorced men who have joint custody. Viewing the balance issue from their perspective has been enlightening. It appears much more difficult for men to ask for flexibility from employers and the risks are higher. Men, it seems, have to build support teams to make these joint custody arrangements work. But, they say, the payoff is worth it. I love this quote from a father I interviewed this morning who has joint custody and has worked hard with his ex-wife and employer to have his kids live with him half the time: "I feel like major player in bringing up my kids versus an observer. I wouldn't be as involved in my kids lives if I was seeing it from a distance.''

'Dragon Ball Super' Movie: The redesign of Gohan
Thanks to one artist going by the name @nobody661, we have seen the character design of Gohan.
"Dragon Ball Super" ended in March as Universe 7 won the Tournament of Power. Overall, the Universe Survival arc has been a great hit for the fans. Meanwhile, Toei Animation announced the film based on the show. "Dragon Ball Super" movie focuses mainly on Saiyans and their origins. It is set to release in December this year. So far, I have seen the character designs for Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Beerus, and Whis. And I must say all the designs are top notch and are loved by the fans. Amid all this, the character design for Gohan is nowhere to be seen. Gohan, who is the elder son of Goku, plays a pivotal role in the film and fans are really looking forward to his character design. It is worth mentioning that Akira Toriyama has worked on the script and the characters of the movie.
Gohan's design
Now, thanks to one artist going by @nobody661, we have seen the character design of Gohan. The artist shared a redesign of Gohan on Twitter and I must say the design looked splendid. It impressed the fans and everyone loves the long hair part which is seen in "Dragon Ball Z." As we know, this design is based on all aesthetic change of "Dragon Ball Super" and the series is going to get a makeover when the film hits the theaters.
By request of @ErrenVanDuine , I've refitted Shintani's Goku design to have Gohan instead. pic.twitter.com/58q3aaDt0o— nobody231 (@nobody661) May 18, 2018
The makers of the film have already released the trailer for the film, and I must say by the looks of it, the film is going to be a huge hit.
It will mainly focus on Saiyan's power and will introduce the first Super Saiyan God of the Saiyan race. And of course, it will definitely be a super hit, since Akira Toriyama the creator of the anime is also contributing to the script and character designs of the film.
What else?
After looking at the trailer and the posters, fans are looking forward to watching the film in December. The anime is over as of now, but its English dub is currently airing on Adult Swin on Saturday evenings at 9:30 PM. One can also watch it online on Amazon Prime or Funimation. Or can purchase the first 52 episodes of the show on Amazon Video. The 52 episodes cover everything and also features the current TV airings of the "Future Trunks arc."
In terms of film promotion, some theater owners have already started distributing the pamphlets about the film.
And seems like not only me, but everyone throughout the world is waiting for the movie to release. Are you excited about watching the film? Stay tuned for more "Dragon Ball Super" movie news and updates. I will try to provide more updates very soon.

There are some days when I think I would just like someone to send me a bouquet of flowers.
Or lilies. Though in reality I am not truly that picky.
With little sprigs of baby's breath peeking out shyly around the edges.
I would like it to take me by surprise, to leave me breathless in a way that erases the trials of the day, at least for a moment. A reminder that my burdens are not completely my own; they are shared, and thus not quite so heavy.
(It would work especially well if it were a day when I was feeling rather blue, stooping to that kind of selfish self-pity that seems reasonable only when Monday and Tuesday have fallen short of expectations).
But then I remember that I work among plants, that I can go get myself flowers anytime I damn well please. That I in no way need to wait for someone else to remember me.
And that's an incredibly powerful thing.

Lefkada 2
Painting/Drawing: Pastel on Wood | 50cm x 100cm
The famous "Μύλοι"(mills) at "Αϊ Γιάννης"(St. John) Beach in Lefkada island. This was an attempt to show movement which gives the piece an extra flavor of expressionism. It was exhibited in Lefkada ("The Feeling of Thought" 23/08 – 01/09) and was sold during that time.
Part of an on-going study that attempts to visualy unify subject and space. A structuralist approach with impressionist, cubist and expressionist aspects mixed together. Through fragmentation and overlapping, there is transparency which leads to a visual and conceptual unity. Even though it's representational and done with a drawing plan, rendering the surface feels close to automatism. The surface texture is made with parameters in mind but is also spontaneous and chaotic; rules are broken as a rule. No boundaries, just line and colour, drawing and painting, feeling and logic.

Margaly Reads
I recently got back into reading, and it is something that I will never regret doing.
7:00 pm 19 August 2012
The Selection
My rating: 5 stars. This book was AMAZING.I initially got interested in it because it reminded me of something else that I read a couple of months ago. This book got me hooked almost instantly. The first few chapters were a bit slow, which may be due to my immediate dislike of Aspen, but once we got to the actual Selection I couldn't stop reading. The way Kiera Cass slowly evolved America and Maxon's relationship while creating character development for all the other characters was remarkable. Yes, there is a love triangle aspect in this book, but I think it's done in a way that's different from other novels. We see both relationships develop and it's not something that came out of nowhere. The book is just really interesting. I finished it in two days and on the last day I just sat there reading it for about 3 hours straight. I can't wait for 'The Elite.'

|Enhanced Lifetime Mortgage
If you're looking for the maximum equity release from your property, an enhanced lifetime mortgage could provide the solution.
Enhanced lifetime mortgages are a 'roll-up' equity release scheme where lending criteria is based on your personal health records. In principle, these schemes will allow more cash to be released depending on your answers to a health & lifestyle questionnaire.
Basically, the poorer your health, the greater the tax free lump sum that could be made available.
The enhanced lifetime mortgage is a 'roll-up' equity release scheme.
Do I Qualify for an Enhanced Lifetime Mortgage?
This will depend on the type of health issues you have on your medical records. The lender works on the underwriting principle that life expectancy is likely to be reduced if ill-health has been experienced. The enhanced lenders can therefore afford to offer greater lump sums to these people, than for someone who is likely to live much longer.
Upon calculating the size of these maximum enhanced equity release schemes, these companies assess your health and lifestyle, as well as your age. Based on this information they are usually able to offer a loan that can be much higher than the standard equity release loan-to-values.
Which Types of Illnesses Apply?
A simple health & lifestyle questionnaire will ask for answers to the following: -
whether you smoke
height & weight including body mass index (BMI)
high blood pressure
suffer from diabetes
medical problems such as angina, heart attack, stroke, cancer
multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease
retired early due to ill health
whether you are on prescription medication
This list is not exhaustive and other health and lifestyle factors that could qualify which if more severe could provide a larger amount of cash from your release of equity.
A full list of conditions that qualify can be obtained by finding your local equity release adviser.
In addition to the above features, these enhanced equity release plans have the following advantages/disadvantages: -

Thinking about the new year, I'm taken back to a quote a student of mine gave me nearly 20 years ago. It was from the Jewish writer Ismar Schorsch. Schorsch speaks of the idea of rest and Sabbath which has structured the dreams and practices of many Jews for centuries:
To rest is to acknowledge our limitations, we cease our power to tinker or transform. Willful inactivity is a statement of subservience to a power greater than our own.*
This idea seems strange to one, like me, and perhaps you, who's been taught to be a liberal, modern, achievement-oriented person. I'm taught to believe that through abundant energy and constant effort, I can gain all those things in my best interest: things, personal security, opportunity, happy relationships, accomplishment in caring and loving others. I want to believe that in my power to tinker and transform is my power to free myself. I want to believe that I am not subservient to any power but the limitations imposed upon my by the world around me, or by my body, or by my mind. I want to believe that I have freely entered the relationships that limit me. Yet as I face a new year of activity and goal setting, perhaps words against achievement and accomplished freedom are more freeing that I want to admit. Perhaps willful and prayerful inactivity and non-productivity is necessary, on balance, for a whole and faithful life. This is not to diminish the importance of activity and accomplishment. Nor is it to take flight of duty or effort. It is, perhaps, to actually enhance the importance of these things by putting them back into the context of the real limitations, and to put them into relationship to the power in which they find their true value.
It is, perhaps, the greatest achievement of all to be able to pause long enough to acknowledge realities deeper and powers greater than what we are given by the world around us. This pause is not recreation or sport. It is a kind of listening and thanksgiving. In this pause we may find strength greater than our own for the work ahead, and (if God's grace allows) wisdom more fresh than the simple kinds of knowledge we're taught to depend upon. In balanced moments of willful waste and recreation we may hear the Voice of the One who creates us and encourages our work in the truest sense, until we rest again.

Single Family Pending Home Sales are UP for Month of November
The number of single-family homes put under agreement in November went up again for the seventh straight month compared to the same time in 2010, according to the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR). Condominium pending sales were also up from the same time last year.
"We are taking another step toward an eventual housing market recovery with pending sales going up in November," said 2011 MAR President Laurie Cadigan, broker-owner of Barrett & Co. in Concord. "I don't think it is a coincidence that as the unemployment rate here in Massachusetts ticks down, buyer confidence starts to increase."
The number of single-family homes put under agreement in November rose 5.2 percent to 3,580 compared to 3,404 during the same time last year. This is the seventh straight month of year-over-year increases. On a month-to-month basis, single-family homes put under agreement were down 7.2 percent from 3,857 homes in October.
A total of 1,333 condos were put under agreement in November – a 7 percent increase compared to 1,251 during November 2010. On a month-to-month basis, condos put under agreement were up less than a half of one percent.

Quote:Monsanto GM Corn in Peril: Beetle develops Bt-resistance(Bunch of links on more info at Freedom Food) - great site
By Rady Ananda
Nature herself may be the best opponent of genetically modified crops and pesticides. Not only plants, but insects are also developing resistance. The Western rootworm beetle – one of the most serious threats to corn – has developed resistance to Monsanto's Bt-corn, and entire crops are being lost. [Image]
Farmers from several Midwest states began reporting root damage to corn that was specifically engineered with a toxin to kill the rootworm. Iowa State University entomologist Aaron Gassmann recently confirmed that the beetle, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, has developed resistance to the Bt protein, Cry3Bb1.
Bacillus thuringiensis – Bt – is a bacterium that kills insects. Different proteins are engineered into cotton as well as corn plants.
Two-thirds of all US corn is genetically modified per the USDA, and the bulk of that is Bt-corn. Monsanto has the biggest market share in the US, reporting about 35% in 2009.
In response to the July 2011 study, Monsanto said only the "YieldGard® VT Triple and Genuity® VT Triple PRO™ corn products†are affected.
"It appears he has demonstrated a difference in survival in the lab, but it is too early to tell whether there are implications for growers in the field.â€
However, Kansas State researchers summarized the study, indicating that the specimens tested came from fields suffering severe rootworm damage and compared them to those from unaffected fields. In other words, it was a field study.
Resistance developed where the same Bt corn had been grown at least three years in a row. Gassmann found "a significant positive correlation between the number of years Cry3Bb1 maize had been grown in a field and the survival of rootworm populations on Cry3Bb1 maize in bioassays.â€
Ag Professional's Colleen Scherer explains that "the Cry3Bb1 toxin is the major one deployed against rootworms. There is no 'putting the genie back in the bottle,' and resistance in these areas is a problem that won't go away.â€
Monsanto urges farmers to try their "stacked†GM products where more than one trait is engineered and to employ integrated pest management (IPM) techniques.
Kind of like getting on a treadmill of ever increasing DNA manipulation and chemicals to maintain monocultures, instead of reverting to time-honored mixed farms that use companion plants (including weeds) for pest control. IPM does not have to include toxic chemicals or genetic manipulation for success. (See, e.g., Sepp Holzer's Permaculture).
This year, Monsanto launched a "triple-stack†sweet corn which it envisions being sold at Farmers Markets. The FDA's GMO label ban will certainly help, since most people who buy local are specifically trying to avoid genetically engineered foods.
In line with Monsanto's goal to enter farmers markets, the Union of Concerned Scientists just came out with a report urging federal financial support in order to create jobs. The report notes that the number of farmers markets has doubled in the past ten years.
But, as we watch the feds target natural producers with raids and product seizure, while leaving Cargill's 36 million pounds of tainted turkey alone until someone died, we can expect that any federal money put toward farmers markets will be used to support only that produce which is genetically modified, chemically doused and/or irradiated...
What politics from both sides wants to teach us is that things are never complex. If you have your little package and something doesn't fit into that package, You don't know what to make of it so you want to dismiss it or then you will have to do the work of reconsidering your assumptions. - Michael Malice
(08-26-2011, 05:50 AM)Kreeper Wrote: Not just GM crops. Herbicide resistant weeds and pesticide resistant insects will decimate all crops.
If that's the depop plan, it's going well. Another few years and they starve and irradiate most of the population. Then they go into the seed banks and start again. GMO and Herbicides like Roundup are silent killers. There is a war being waged on a very covert level.

Manga summaries boldly copied and pasted from TFF Naruto Talk topics!
Volume 45 - Pein's Attack on Konoha Edit
Naruto Vol.45 Ch.422: Kakashi vs Pain
- Konan has split up into thousands of pieces of paper that blows through the streets and envelopes Konoha-nin desert-coffin style, she forms her head out of paper and asks where Naruto is but noone answers. Meanwhile Fat!Pain is absorbing all the jutsu thrown at him and Old!Pain is interrogating someone with what might be genjutsu, there's a giant monster surrounded by black flames behind him.
- Tsunade summons Katsuyu and orders her to split up and attach herself to everyone in the village and heal them using Tsunade's chakra.
- Kakashi attacks Smiley!Pain from behind but misses thanks to the shared-vision feature of the Rinnegan, Smiley!Pain moves back to Yahiko!Pain and removes his robe while growing two extra faces, one angry and one emtionless, and reveals that he has six arms and a large serrated flat tail. Yahiko!Pain raises his hand towards Kakashi and suddenly Kakashi is drawn towards him, he takes out a chain and anchors himself to a slab of concrete, he now knows what Yahiko!Pain's power is. Yahiko!Pain puts in some extra effort and Kakashi loses his grip on the chain and is speared by Smiley!Pain's tail but is revealed to be a lightning clone that stuns Smiley!Pain, allowing Chouza to crush him while Yahiko!Pain evades Chouji.
- Kakashi says he had prepared something but is glad he was able to save some of his chakra now that the backup has arrived.
- "What is "God Realm" Pain's power...?!" Next chapter, "Capture Pain!!".
Volume 46Edit
Naruto Vol.46 Ch.423: The Deva Path's Power
- Reinforcements have arrived, Chouza praises Kakashi and says he uses clones to figure out the opponents abilities before attacking, apparently they have teamed up before. Unfortuneately Kakashi only have half his chakra left after using that Raiton-KB, fighting someone like Pain for an extended period of time is really tough, but he says he's figured out his ability now.
- Pain moves to attack while the Konoha ninja attack with thrown projectiles, Pain uses his ability 'Shinra Tensei' to repel everything, right after that Chouza throws some more kunai but instead of repelling them Pain dodges them, Kakashi notices this and throws another kunai but Pain repels this.
- Chouza asks what he did and Kakashi explains that he seems to have power to pull and push things from himself, he controls gravity and repulsions forces, it's weakness is that he cannot perform it in quick sucession and thus leaves himself open for a short amount of time. Chouza says the opening is too short for them to take advantage of it but Kakashi says they've gotta try anyway.
- Kakashi attacks Pain from underground with a kunai but he is repelled away, Pain says that he moves well and have a large arsenal of techniques and that people like him should be done away with early before they become a bigger problem. Chouza and Chouji attack from the sides with the meat-tank but are repelled by Pain, when thrown away they reveal they're each holding the end of a chain that runs underground and circles pain, they tear it out of the ground and captures Pain with it. Kakashi attacks with the Chidori but Smiley!Pain throws himself between Kakashi and Yahiko!Pain and takes the attack.
- Scene changes to Naruto and Fukasaku (Yoda!Toad), Fukasaku asks Naruto where it is he goes when he is alone, Naruto dodges the question and Fukasaku says it's time to practise fusion. Naruto is worried about Konoha because Akatsuki might come looking for him, Fukasaku says not to worry, Konoha ninja are strong. And if they really were in trouble they would have sent a message.
- back to Konoha, Kakashi is trapped by rubble from the shoulders down and all the reinforcements are knocked out, Pain approaches and says it doesn't look like Kakashi is a bunshin this time and that it's time to die, Pain keeps his distance just to be on the safe side and pulls out a nail from a plank and points it towards Kakashi who says he can't dodge at this range, Pain launches the nail and we see a black silhouette of Kakashi's head and what looks like blood splatter.
- "The last thing left for Kakashi is?"
- Next: Pay close attention.
Naruto Vol.46 Ch.424: Determination
- Chapter starts with a scene of Tsunade's slugs creeping about and healing random ninja, Tsunade is in the Hokage tower, sitting in a seal array surrounded by ANBU and pumping out chakra to heal the victims, Looks like quite a number has died as Tsunade is surprised by the number of casualties.
- Meanwhile Danzo is speaking to his subordinates in a hidden location, in the same place he briefed Sai, he's thankful to Akatsuki for taking up Tsunade's attention so that he can move freely. He says he's removed the possibility of Akatsuki capturing Kyuubi and that they shall wait out the battle in the bunker until things calm down, a subordinate asks if they should'nt back up the others, since it'll be meaningless to stage a coup if everyone is dead, Danzo says that Tsunade will keep a sufficient number alive with the help of Katsuyu, the rest are neccessary sacrifices in order to make Danzo Hokage.
- Inoichi and his flunkies are going through the Rain-nins memories, the flunkies can't find anything useful but Inoichi does, he finds a memory of the two Rain-nins Jiraiya captured carrying a corpse to a tower, the highest in Rain, said to have been built as a shrine for the dead, but the family of the dead aren't allowed to enter. One of the Rain-nin says he's heard a rumour that Pain lives there, they open the bag and reveal it's the Girl/Summoner!Pain. Konan interrupts them and congratulates them on a work well done and tell them to bring the next one.
- Scene skips to Yahiko!Pain, he glances at the ruined Smiley!Pain body, turns around and then leaves the area. Scene skips to Inoichi again, one of the flunkies praises Inoichi's awesomeness for going through a whole day of memories in 30 seconds, another flunkie tells him to concentrate on what he's doing. Shizune has now arrived, it's time for them to put the pieces together from what they've learned. Meanwhile, Summoner/Animal!Pain and Skinny/Human!Pain arrive outside what I think is the Torture&Interrogation building where Ino, Inoichi and Shizune are.
- Scene skip to Chouji kneeling and crying before his father's body whom apparently took an attack for Chouji, Kakashi tells Chouji to cry later, he must inform Tsunade of Yahiko!Pain's power. Smiley!Pain interrupts them, saying they are quite persistent while a missile is growing out of his innards, he aims it at Chouji who starts running. Kakashi estimates that with his current chakra level he can't take out the whole body, and if he use it again he'll definitely run out of chakra and die, meanwhile the missile is launched at Chouji's back. Just before the missile hits it vanishes, Smiley!Pain sees it and concludes that's how Kakashi evaded the nail earlier. Kakashi closes his eyes and thinks of Rin and Obito.
Naruto Vol.46 Ch.425: Hatake Kakashi
- Kakashi is thinking of his team and how he failed to protect Rin and that this is as far as he'll be able to be Obito's eyes. Everything goes black and Kakashi spots a campfire in the distance, he approaches and finds his father sitting there, he asks Kakashi to tell him about himself, Kakashi says it'll be a long story. Back in reality Kakashi's head has slumped forward and he appears to be dead, a piece of Smiley!Pain's head falls off.
- Naruto is trying to fuse with Fukasaku but the Kyuubi keeps rejecting him, Naruto flips out and asks what all the training was for then and what they're gonna do.
- Back in Konoha Skinny!Pain jumps up to the roof of the Interrogation building while Girl!Pain summons that Hydra-dog, Shizune has explained the chakra-transmitters to the interrogation-team and Ino remarks that it's similar to the Yamanaka jutsu, Ibiki says that the Rikudo Sennin used the Rinnegan, if it really exists then Pain could use any jutsu he wants. The building shakes and the ANBU realize that Pain has found them, one ANBU uses a Fuuton to cut the leg of the dog-summon while another restrains it with a Raiton that summons four pillars around the dog-summon that emits lightning and stuns it while the final ANBU uses Doton to summon a giant hog-statue on top of the dog-summon.
- The dog-summon isn't even faced by that combo and just sprouts more heads, the ANBU decides to look for the summoner instead while Skinny!Pain observes quietly from the sidelines. Girl!Pain summons a giant Rhino with really tiny insect-like wings that punches a hole through the wall, the Rhino opens it's mouth and reveals Girl!Pain who instantly notice the piece of chakra-transmitter Shizune is carrying, looks like Pain was tracking it. Inoichi recognizes her but before he can do anything Pain starts to tear the building apart, everyone is saved from the debree by Tsunade's summons. Inoichi now fills in everyone else on how he saw that girl in the Rain-nin's memory but that she was a corpse then.
- Shizune tries to figure out what the hell is going on and how this girl can summon when Jiraiya already killed the summoner, she tells Inoichi to tell her more so that maybe she can figure it out, Inoichi is about to protest when Ibiki tells them to run, he and the ANBU will hold them back.
- Scene changes to some random rubble, Konohamaru is panting while looking around a corner.

|[jira] [Updated] (DERBY-4080) Deadlock between locks and latches in BTreeController.compareRowsForInsert()
|Tue, 16 Apr 2013 17:31:16 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4080?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Mike Matrigali updated DERBY-4080: ---------------------------------- Affects Version/s: 10.11.0.0 ran script against trunk and it gets lock timeout at end. > Deadlock between locks and latches in BTreeController.compareRowsForInsert() > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-4080 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4080 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Store > Affects Versions: 10.4.2.0, 10.11.0.0 > Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen > Labels: derby_triage10_5_2, derby_triage10_9 > Attachments: repro.sql > > > It looks like BTreeController.compareRowsForInsert(), which is used to check for duplicates in a unique nullable index, can run into a deadlock which involves both locks and latches. > Here's what I think can happen: > comparePreviousRecord() (or compareNextRecord()) holds a latch on the index page where a new row is about to be inserted, and needs to check if there's a duplicate on one of the adjacent rows. Because the row is near a page boundary, this check moves to another index page, while still holding the latch on the original index page. Then compareRowsForInsert() is called, which tries to get an update lock on the existing row. If it has to wait for the update lock, the latch on the current page is released, but the latch on the original index page is kept. This means that the transaction is holding a latch while it is waiting for a lock, which means that it is blocking all access to that page until it has been granted the lock. If some other transaction that is holding a conflicting lock on the row later needs to latch the index page, those two transactions run into a deadlock and the one that's waiting for the lock will eventually time out (but it will not be reported as a deadlock). > If compareRowsForInsert() releases all latches when it needs to wait for a lock, the deadlock is prevented, and both of the transactions may be able to complete without timing out. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
