Compile Heart Blasts Rogue Remake For PS2
January 15, 2007 5:41 AM |
Well, this is news that should really be left for JohnH's regular '@Play' GSW on the subject, but since he's not posting again til next weekend, I'd better to it for him - a NeoGAF thread reveals that a Japanese remake of Rogue for the PlayStation 2 has been announced, blimey!
The always slightly grumpy Duckroll (who can read the Japanese!), comments in the thread: "This is being published by Compile Heart [here's an Insert Credit post on them - as commenters note: "They are a descendant of legendary developer Compile. Moo Niitani, creator of Puyo Puyo, works there. Right now they are developing an original puzzle game for arcade and Wii."].... It is being developed by Plophet, a tiny developer best known for the D3 published Simple series games The Maze and The Dungeon RPG. The only light at the end of the tunnel is that the "supervisor" is the Japanese guy that originally translated Rogue and all support docs into Japanese." Informative, if glass half-empty!
Anyhow, the game is called Rogue Hearts Dungeon, and there's a Game Watch Japanese-language piece with lots more pics - here's the Wikipedia page for Rogue for those wondering about its history. I wonder how the copyright/licensing worked in this case, if at all? Also, some hyper-niche publisher should pick this up for the States, hah.

The only reason to go to *17 at the Alden Hotel (aside from the snazzy decor which, truthfully, you can approximate for free by hanging out inside of West Elm) has left the building. It was discovered on Monday that Wesley Morton, the young chef from Washington, D.C. who dazzled our city with his creative, minimalist cuisine and use of fresh, local ingredients, is no longer with the restaurant, although there has been no official announcement of his departure.
Morton only helmed the restaurant for ten short months, beginning in February of this year. Before that, *17 ran through a duo of equally-talented chefs -- Jeff Armstrong and Ryan Pera -- in only a few short years. Indeed, when Morton was appointed to the position, local foodies speculated that it would only be a matter of time before he, too, moved on to greater things. There's no word yet on what those greater things might be, though.
Cleverley Stone tells us that Sander Edmondson, a Texas native who most recently owned and operated a restaurant in San Antonio called Bistro Thyme, took over the kitchen at *17 this week. Edmondson also has plenty of experience in the luxury hotel industry, having previously been the executive chef at the upscale Fairmont and Gunter hotels in San Antonio, so he should at least have those bases covered at *17. What remains to be seen is how good his cooking is.

Cleverley was able to get ahold of a menu from Edmondson's old restaurant, Bistro Thyme, which you can see here. The items sound strikingly similar to past menu items at *17 and, indeed, to so many other upmarket restaurants around town. But -- disappointingly -- they show little in the way of creativity.
For now, however, Edmondson will be sticking to Morton's current menu until he finds his legs. And although it will be interesting to see what kind of menu Edmondson eventually develops, it will be far more interesting to see will be how long *17 is able to keep him around.

The September issue of Vogue told me a few things about Fall.
It told me that prints are the new basics, maroon is the new black, curvy is the new sexy, and quinoa is the new oatmeal.
I'm lying. Vogue totally didn't say that. BUT, if Vogue covered breakfast foods, like they do clothes, they def would have said that. Oatmeal out; quinoa in! And calling it "porridge" gives it this very chic "working class English industrial revolution" feel. Think: orphans in Oliver Twist, BUT trendy and adorable (and not sad).
Quinoa for breakfast may seem strange. I suppose it is, a little. But when cooked in sweetened and spice-spiked milk, it goes from sort of weird to dreamy and stylish.

Honeycomb, or Cinder Toffee, is one of my favourite treats. It's both crunchy and chewy and oh so sweet. I've only recently learnt to make it which is probably good because it's so moreish that I have to ration myself as it's basically pure sugar!
It's a perfect treat for this time of year and is also a great accompaniment for ice-cream or other puddings.
You'll need:
80g Butter
160g Caster Sugar
80g Golden Syrup
2tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
Oil for greasing
- Grease an 8 inch tin with oil
- Heat the butter, sugar and syrup in a pan until the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat and boil without stirring, until the mixture goes a golden brown colour (about 5 minutes). If it looks like it's burning you can gently swirl the pan.
- Add the bicarbonate of soda and stir for a few seconds. The bicarb will make the mixture expand rapidly (so be ready!). Quickly tip it into baking tin and leave to cool.
- Once cool you can cut it into pieces and enjoy!

1951 Topps Red Backs Baseball CardsBrand: Topps Baseball
Product Details
Although the values don't match the more storied sets from the era, 1951 Topps Red Backs Baseball cards offer one of the first releases from Topps Baseball. As an early entry from the Topps Baseball brand, the simple set is part of collecting history.
1951 Topps Red Backs Baseball cards, and the similar 1951 Topps Blue Backs, are a hybrid collectible that combines baseball cards with a baseball-themed card game. Although the game never garnered much interest, the Red Backs remain relevant as the one of the first baseball card sets produced by Topps.
Showcasing a design that mimics a standard deck of cards, the card fronts for the 1951 Topps Red Backs Baseball set are colorful. Yellow, green, red and blue are used to highlight a black-and-white photo that is centered in the middle of the cards with a diamond background. There are also additional elements in the corners, including a baseball drawing, red baseball graphic and play in two corners, and a brief player bio. The plays referenced, like double or strike, correspond to the card game.
The 52-card 1951 Topps Red Backs Baseball set matches the Blue Backs in total number, but the master set is actually 54 cards thanks to two variations that were issued for team updates (#36 and #52). Despite these similarities, the two sets are easily distinguished based on the color of the card backs. Also, the Red Backs are noted as "A Series" on the card fronts.
Another many difference among the two 1951 Topps Baseball sets is the checklist. 1951 Topps Red Backs Baseball features eight Hall of Fame inductees, including the rookie card for Monte Irvin. Other top options include Yogi Berra, Duke Snider, Phil Rizzuto, Bob Feller and Warren Spahn.
Despite boasting the better checklist, the 1951 Topps Red Backs Baseball values are lower than their blue equivalent. This is due to the relative scarcity of the Blue Backs compared to the Red Backs. Card creasing also makes it more difficult to locate high grade examples.
Additionally, 1951 Topps Red Backs Baseball cards are largely found in single-card form, but there is a more limited panel version that includes two cards attached with perforation. While the panel cards do carry a premium, both versions display the perforation edges. Although rare, factory sets of panels were also issued and have surfaced at auction.

I Am Only One Degree of Separation From Being Published in Science!
Today, my friend Erika's paper, based on her PhD research, was published in the prestigious journal Science!
This is the front page of Science's website today. That red arrow shows you where the story on Erika's paper resides!
You may remember Erika from such blog postings as her wedding and several 12Bars of Christmas. But in addition to being a thrower of awesome parties, she's also a ridiculously good scientist. The significance of being published in Science is, no exaggeration, like winning a gold medal at the Olympics. Seriously. Remember how big a deal it was when Alexandre Bilodeau won that gold medal last year1? It's that big. Seriously.
Also, my friend Linda is a co-author. You may remember Linda from such awesomeness as Team Cupcake and several 12 Barsof Christmas2.
So congrats to Erika, Linda and the rest of the co-authors on this ridiculously amazing achievement. And congrats to me on being only one degree of separation (x2) from a publication in Science!
- Assuming you are Canadian. If you are not, insert the name of some important gold medal winner from your country! [↩]
- Including the fact that she let me pass out at her place after this year's 12 Bars Bethy FAIL [↩]

The public is invited to join Julia Spicher Kasdorf on April 19, 4–5 p.m., in the Foster Auditorium, 102 Paterno Library, for a presentation on Fred Lewis Pattee's novel, "The House of the Black Ring: A Romance of the Seven Mountains.
Pattee, long regarded as the father of American literary study, also wrote fiction. Originally published in 1905 by Henry Holt, this book was Pattee's second novel—a local-color romance set in the mountains of central Pennsylvania. The plot is driven by family feud, forbidden love, and a touch of the supernatural. This recent edition from the Penn State Press, available at http://www.psupress.org/books/titles/978-0-271-05420-9.html, makes the novel accessible to new generations of modern-day readers as a thriller that preserves details of rural life and language during the late nineteenth century. Scholars will read it as an expression of cultural anxiety and change in the decades after the Civil War.
The book's introduction by Kasdorf situates the novel within the context of social and literary history, as well as Pattee's own biography, and provides a compelling argument for its importance, not only as a literary artifact or record of local customs, but also as a reflection of Pattee's own story intertwined with the history of Penn State at the turn of the twentieth century.
Kasdorf, a poet and essayist, is professor of English and Women's Studies and the 2013 Alumni Teaching Fellow at Penn State University Park. Her publications include three collections of poetry, a book of essays and a monograph on the Amish-born local color writer, Joseph W. Yoder. With Joshua R. Brown, assistant professor of German at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, she brought this new edition of Pattee's novel into print. Brown, who received his Ph.D. from Penn State, draws on his expertise in Pennsylvania German ethno-linguistics to interpret the dialect writing and to give readers a clearer view of the customs and regionalisms depicted in the book.
A book signing will follow Kasdorf's presentation and books will be available for sale.
For more information or if you anticipate needing accessibility accommodations or have questions about the physical access provided, please call Shirley Davis at 814-865-2258.

In 2017 we should recognize the fact that mobile users and desktop users are not the same. According to data from eMarketer, in 2016 in the US, less than 19 million people accessed the internet only from desktops or laptops. That's just 7% of internet users overall.
Another 31 million accessed the internet with a smartphone only. The remaining 215 million use both.
That means over 80% of internet users are "multidevice" users. They access the internet with their phones, tablets, and personal computers. They access the internet at home, at work, and on the go.

The Diamonds in the Rough was a professional wrestling stable in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, led by the eponymous Simon Diamond and consisting primarily of lower- to mid-card wrestlers. Their name is derived from the expression "a diamond in the rough" (meaning a valuable find in an unexpected location), as the members of the stable are wrestlers who Diamond regards as having unlocked potential. Though Simon Diamond constantly claimed that he would lead the Diamonds to success, they had a poor win / loss ratio.
The Diamonds were formed at TNA Slammiversary on June 19, 2005 when Simon Diamond returned to TNA after a several month absence, introducing Trytan as his "insurance policy". Diamond and Trytan then defeated Apolo and Sonny Siaki in a tag match. The Diamonds next appeared on the July 1 episode of TNA Impact!, where Diamond boasted that, as he had recruited a 7 ft 0 in (2.13 m) "wrecking machine", he had "all of the answers". Diamond and Trytan lost to America's Most Wanted after they were outmaneuvered by the veteran tag team. On July 15 they defeated Apolo and Siaki in a Slammiversary rematch.
Trytan left TNA in July 2005 after he could not agree on a new contract with TNA, and at TNA No Surrender 2005 on July 17, Diamond introduced his new protégé, David Young. Citing Young's ability to "bench press 400 lbs (180 kg)", Diamond insisted that Young's two year losing streak was due to a lack of direction and leadership, which Diamond would provide. This is where the name of the stable originated, as Diamond hailed David Young as a "diamond in the rough". Diamond and Young then faced Apolo and Sonny Siaki in a near-rematch from Slammiversary, with Young losing to Apolo following a TKO.
In the main event of the August 5 episode of Impact!, Diamond and Young faced NWA World Heavyweight Champion Raven and Sabu. Young was pinned after receiving a Raven Effect DDT from Raven and a splash from Sabu, while Diamond watched from outside the ring, disgruntled at Young's inability to kick out. The Diamonds faced America's Most Wanted once more on August 12, and defeated them after Team Canada interfered.
At the outset of TNA Sacrifice on August 10, Diamond came to the ring and talked about the career of Elix Skipper, claiming that he had been "a star" as one-third of Triple X, but that he had been "a lost soul" since XXX disbanded. Diamond then promised to make Skipper "a star again". Diamond, Young and Skipper then faced Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt and Shark Boy in a six-man tag match. The Diamonds lost after Skipper was rolled-up by Sabin, and Diamond berated his team as a result.
Diamond teamed with Mikey Batts on the August 19 episode of Impact!, facing Shocker and Chris Sabin in the first round of the Chris Candido Cup. During the match, commentators Mike Tenay and Don West speculated that Batts was "auditioning" for membership in the Diamonds in the Rough. Diamond and Batts lost the match after Sabin pinned Batts, and he did not join the Diamonds. On the August 26 episode of Impact!, Diamond and Young defeated the regular tag team of Mikey Batts and Jerrelle Clark, with Young pinning Clark following a Spinebuster. Later in the program, Diamond accompanied Skipper to ringside, and watched in disappointment as his protégé lost to Apolo. On the September 9 episode of Impact!, Skipper defeated Sonjay Dutt following interference from Young.
At TNA Unbreakable on September 11, the Diamonds lost to the 3Live Kru in a six-man tag team match. The stable was inactive throughout the remainder of September and early October as Diamond toured India to promote the debut of Impact! on ESPN Star Sports, but reconvened on October 23 at TNA Bound for Glory, where they defeated Siaki, Apolo and Shark Boy. On a special two hour episode of Impact! on November 3, the Diamonds lost to Sabu, Lance Hoyt and Jeff Hardy in a six-man tag team match. At TNA Genesis on November 13 they defeated Hoyt and The Naturals, with Skipper pinning Chase Stevens.
On the December 4 episode of Impact!, all three members of the Diamonds were announced as Raven's opponents in a handicap Raven's House of Fun match booked by Director of Authority Larry Zbyszko to encourage Raven to resign from TNA. Despite interference on his behalf by Cassidy Riley, Raven was decisively beaten after the Diamonds drove him through a table and then pinned him.
On a prime time episode of Impact! on December 8, 2005, the Diamonds interrupted a ceremony in which Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski and strength trainer Dale Torborg presented TNA wrestlers A.J. Styles, Chris Sabin and Sonjay Dutt with memorabilia from the 2005 World Series. Diamond, himself a former baseball player, mocked Pierzynski's .256 batting average, telling him that he needed a designated hitter. Diamond then slapped Torborg, leading to a brawl. As a result, Torborg, Sabin and Dutt, with Pierzynski in their corner, faced the Diamonds at TNA Turning Point 2005 on December 11. The Diamonds lost following interference from then-Boston Red Sox outfielder Johnny Damon. In the main event of the December 17 episode of Impact!, Young and Skipper were defeated by Team 3D. At TNA Final Resolution 2006 on January 15 they were defeated by The James Gang.
At TNA Against All Odds 2006 on February 12, 2006, Skipper and Young teamed with Shannon Moore, losing to Lance Hoyt, Cassidy Riley and Shark Boy in a six-man tag team match. At TNA Destination X 2006 on March 12, 2006, Skipper and Young defeated Norman Smiley and Shark Boy.
On the March 11, 2006 episode of Impact!, Diamond, providing commentary during an eight-man tag team bout featuring Skipper and Young, complained about Pierzynski having been presented with a replica belt by TNA. One week later, Diamond, accompanied by Alex Shelley and his "ShelleyCam", attended the White Sox spring training in order to confront Pierzynski. Pierzynski challenged Diamond to a fight, but he was struck from behind with a chair by manager Ozzie Guillén before he could give his response. On April 23, 2006 at TNA Lockdown 2006, Skipper took part in a six-man "Xscape" match that was won by Chris Sabin. On July 16, 2006 at TNA Victory Road 2006, the team returned to action (after a month-long hiatus from TNA) losing to The Naturals in a tag match.
In late February 2007, David Young and "Primetime" Elix Skipper were both released from their TNA Contracts. Simon Diamond remained with the company as a road agent until his release on November 2, 2008.

About Amber Rose
Amber Rose is currently a model and an actress, but is best known for her high profile relationships with Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa (and more recently, a short stint with Machine Gun Kelly). Her unique look stands out, with a bleached buzz cut and super curvy body. She has made numerous cameos in music videos and TV shows. Famously, she was stripper prior to getting work as a video vixen, and was spotted by Kanye West when she was featured in Ludacris' "What Them Girls Like" music video, which served as the launching pad for their relationship (as well as Rose's career).

Obuh urges NFF to review Nigerian league structure
Former Flying Eagles coach, John Obuh has called on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to reorganise the football league and ensure it meets international standard.
Obuh noted that the NFF in the past concentrated on making the Super Eagles more successful in the international arena without focusing on developing the domestic league. He argued that the disregard for the Nigerian league has forced Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr to pay more attention overseas-based players for national team assignment.
According to Obuh, the NFF board should work with grassroots coaches to discover the country's abundant talents, who have no platform to hone their skills.
He also believes an attractive league would lure more sponsors to domestic football.
"The NFF board has done a good job by making Super Eagles a brand in the international scene, but they have to go further by developing the Nigerian league.
"The neglect of the Nigerian league has affected the invitation of the domestic players for national assignment. The board has to look inwards to develop football at home. At the end of their tenure, the level of the development of the local clubs in the NPFL and NNL would be used to assess their performance in office," he said.
Obuh also applauded Enyimba of Aba for beating Rayon Sport of Rwanda 5-1 in the CAF Confederation Cup return leg game, saying the victory would give the team the confidence to qualify for the final of the African club championship.

YORK — George J. Leger, 100, of York Harbor, died Saturday, Dec. 17, 2011 at home.
He was born Sept. 12, 1911, in North Brookfield, Mass., and was educated in the Springfield, Mass., school system. His undergraduate studies were at Northeastern University and he received his law degree there.
He was a decorated naval officer in World War II, having served with intelligence units in the China, Burma, and India theaters before serving aboard aircraft carriers in the Pacific. He later served with distinction in the Korean War as Legal Officer to the Commander of the Seventh Fleet on the battleships Missouri, New Jersey and Wisconsin. He was a bank official for many years with Simsbury Bank and Trust Co. of Simsbury, Conn.
He and his wife, Mary, travelled extensively. In addition to two world cruises on a university ship, they sailed on many cruise ships and freighters. They also travelled New Zealand and Australia, took numerous trips through the Panama Canal and enjoyed many delightful winters in their apartment in San Miguel de Allende, Queretaro, Mexico.
Over the years, his volunteer work included the York Chamber of Commerce, the Old York Historical Society — first as a director and for several years as a member of the Buildings and Grounds Committee.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Clark Leger; and many nephews and nieces.

A film based on Capcom's hugely popular (with everyone except Tarryn) Monster Hunter franchise is going into production in September this year, with shooting set to take place right on our doorstep, in Cape Town, South Africa. The movie will star Resident Evil alumna Milla Jovovich, and will be directed by her husband, another Resident Evil veteran, Paul W.S. Anderson.
The choice to film in South Africa will be no surprise to anyone who follows the industry, as a number of high profile movies have been shot here in recent years. "The crews are great there and, at least for a European company, it's easy to get there: Same time zone, overnight flights," said Martin Moszkowicz, head of Constantin, the production company behind Monster Hunter. "We are very much in a comfort zone of production."
According to a report by Variety, Monster Hunter has a production budget of around $60 million, a good few dollars more than the $40 million that was spent on Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. As for a worldwide release, so far it seems the chances are slim that we will be seeing the film outside of a few select markets – it's confirmed for Germany and Switzerland, while there are deals in place to have Monster Hunter in cinemas across China and Japan. Perhaps the commercial success of Monster Hunter World will sway western markets to look into it.
This is set to be first in a series of films based on Capcom's recent hit game, but let's see how the franchise debut does at the box office before we worry too much about that.

Rob Corddry is moving from Childrens' Hospital to ABC's new pilot titled Spy.
The new show is based on the British series of the same name. Corddry will play Tim, a do good father of a highly intelligent son who also happens to hate him.
The father in the original series inadvertently accepts a job as a spy for the secret service. After realizing his mistake, the dad keeps the job in order to prove his worth as a father.
Hulu Plus viewers can currently watch the British version of Spy on their various Hulu enabled devices.
Spy (US) is being written by Simeon Goulden, the mastermind behind the Sky1 UK series.
Executive producers for the ABC pilot are Jimmy Mulville and Helen Williams.
Spy will be produced for ABC Studios and Hat Trick Productions.
Corddry won't only bring great comedic timing to his role; he is an accomplished comedy writer who has written for Adult Swim's Children's Hospital. Corrdry also actively works as a correspondent for Comedy Central's The Daily Show.
Here is a short clip from the UK Spy series. In this clip Tim realizes he has been interviewing for his future spy job without realizing what he has gotten himself into:
British comedies adapted for an American audience have been hit or miss. For every The Office that makes its successful way stateside, there is a Couplings type series waiting in the wind to literally destroy what was a really funny British series.

The event detection is designed to operate in a predominantly on-line fashion, reporting new events within a specified timeframe. The event detection is achieved by detecting significant changes in the statistical properties of the text where those properties are efficiently stored and updated in a suffix tree. This particular demonstration shows how our method is effective at discovering both short-and long-term events (which are often denoted topics), and how it automatically copes with topic drift on a corpus of 1 035 263 articles.

Magical -Treasury Of My Dreams
Christy Birmingham
Freelance Writer, Poet, Author
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Written: Maxima
Today's guest poet is my good friend Christy Birmingham. Our relationship goes back to the very start of my blogging here at WordPress.com. Congratulations on your fine book. I am deeply inspired by your brilliant lyrics, filled with a gentle touch that soothes the soul and infuses the imagination, transporting us to lands of spiritual beauty unsurpassed. Your book is incredibly beautiful , each line an invitation to discover the beauty that surrounds us. A world of fine and outstanding writing between the covers of this lovely book.
Stefan Maxima: I have followed your creativity for a long time. I find your poetic creations brilliant. Your poetic speech characterizes with refined forms of rhythm, with special notes of sentimentality and cheerfulness.
For the reader, your words carry strong emotional experiences, handsome experiences… As a stone engraved, they remain at the heart, to live forever – and to enrich the beauty of this spiritual world.
In real understanding, of poetic language, when your song is in full swing it marches across the heart and brings envy!
I wonder, what inspires you to write poetry?
Christy Birmingham: My focus stays the same, whether I write about the rain, love or other concept. I want to teach, turn the mind, transform and tease with a vision. I want to take words into new territory. I like to take phrases and twist them so that the reader stops and says, "Well, that's a new way of looking at the subject here." Readers say my visions are "unique," which I take as a compliment.
I try to reach people with words that relate to what I have learned. Within the last five years, I have conquered cancer, left an abusive relationship, battled with depression monsters and been suicidal. I no longer hide my battles. Instead, I reach out with a sword in hand to fight the darkness. I hope to show others that they can do the same thing. Not many of the best things in life come easily.
Stefan Maxima: Do you have a favorite quote?
Christy Birmingham: Ah yes, quotes. I write them down, past quotes onto Pinterest and read them on social networks daily. I love the tiny pieces of wisdom. Here are a few favorites:
"Earth laughs in flowers." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
"You gotta dance like there's nobody watching
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth" ~William W. Purkey
Stefan Maxima: What are your plans for the future?
Christy Birmingham: I plan to continue to write! I am a freelance writer and primarily write articles about business, marketing and health. I am working on another book, which will be my second one. My debut book Pathways to Illumination is getting positive reviews, which encourages me to continue writing poetry.
Through my words, I hope to inspire and motivate people to lift themselves out of dark times. That is what I believe to be my purpose. That is not a religious statement but instead a feeling I have at my core. I have been through struggles and made it through so much; it is my responsibility to show others that light can come for them too.
Stefan Maxima: Thank-you Christy, for speaking here with us today! Where can we read more of your poetry?
Christy Birmingham: Thanks for having me here, Stefan! My blog Poetic Parfait is where I regularly publish poems. http://poeticparfait.com/
Pathways to Illumination is available exclusively at Redmund Productions: http://redmundpro.com/book-store/pi/
Feel free to connect with me on Twitter too! https://twitter.com/christybis

Red houses on the Island of Vormsi
by Budapestman
Estonia's fourth largest island, Vormsi, is located between Hiiumaa and the mainland with a total area of 92 square kilometers. It is part of a rural municipality with the same name in Lääne County.
Vormsi's history as an inhabited island dates back as far as the 13th century. During most of its history,t he island has been inhabited by Estonian Swedes ("rannarootslased" in Estonian or "coastal Swedes" in English), whose population reached 3,000 before World War II. During the war, nearly all of Vormsi's population, along with other Swedes living in Estonia, were evacuated to Sweden. The island's current population is approximately 350 inhabitants.
The Island of Vormsi with its juniper fields, seaside meadows, erratic boulders and lighthouses is best toured on a bicycle or on foot. The gravezard of Vormsi church (1632) is famous for numerous ancient circular crosses.

Is the dark side always evil? Sometimes, it's just a matter of perspective.
Recently Harry Brignull shared his thoughts on Dark Patterns at UX Brighton. If you have not had a chance to listen to the presentation, I recommend it for anyone in the UX field, especially those engaged in Ecommerce and marketing. In short, Brignull discusses the notion of what could be perceived as malicious or evil design – not in the sense of design that hurts the user, but by subtly adding unnecessary features to a customer's cart, making it difficult to unsubscribe from a distribution list, or by simply hiding the cheaper more likely choice in lieu of more profitable options. I should say, I agree with the existence of these patterns and the overal gist of what is said.
Much of what Brignull discusses is around the e-commerce realm. Purchasing of insurance or extra premium packages, subscribing to email threads, and spamming your twitter feed (remember Twifficiency?)
How might additional checks and balances be implemented on an application to support user goals and workflow? What if the system recognized an external email address and automatically checked the box for additional verification to ensure sensitive documents are not sent to the wrong third party? Or if the application is able to buffer a transaction with downtime and additional forms? These would not be seen as Dark Patterns, as they are intended for positive reinforcment of a task. But where is that line drawn? The difference between a Dark Pattern and a positive hurdle is a matter of perspective. As users become more aware of this technique, it will be harder to sneak in unwanted features. First Five Followers is one example of this, where after the backlash from Twifficiency the developers have made it abundantly clear to ensure the privacy of the user's public feed. So as Dark Patterns become more common and expected, and designers resolve new methods to sneak in additional options, how are these used for positive interactions? Not all dark patterns are done with malicious intent. Even Luke used the dark side of the force from time to time for positive results.
Johnny Observed brings you bite-sized nuggets of interaction-y goodness. Seen something we should share? Send us a tip.

I came across this article through a tweet, it reinforces other readings I have had around the net about the new forms of marketing that are being adopted. Mainly, these are:
- Build a web-site: this is important to show case your ware, services and other offers you have.
- Get your web-site to link to relevant page within itself, ie lots of cross linking to connect the site, this is useful for search engine rank.
- Get other site to link to your site: this is very important in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and for certain key word searches your site should come up more prominently.
- Start a blog to promote your knowledge: this is not to market your services, it is to market your knowledge. Blog about any important information that is relevant to what you sell or do, and this blog reflects your expertise in that domain, as well as being a repository to all things connected to what you do, like a single place to look for that information.
- Be social: connect on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and various other social sites that may be of use to make contacts, promote your blog and knowledge.
However, there is one added piece of interesting information this article adds which is the reason for this post, and that is that it reports on the a recent survey in the US that 78% of internet users conduct online product research before making a purchase, stressing the the shift towards active participation of the consumer. That is a very interesting results because it highlights the shift in awareness of consumers and the application of mind to the process of purchase.
Therefore there is one more point I think should be added to the above list:
6. Be truthful and sincere: there is no room for marketing gimmicks, the old school of marketing by insinuating half-truths in order to leverage consumer trends and aspirations is loosing grounds and one cannot hide behind false pretence. We can still see so many product advertisement jumping on the sustainable and green bandwagon when clearly a little research online demonstrates the fallacy of these marketing campaigns.

Restoration Chronology
This chronology does not detail all of the projects and actions that were taken on the ground; instead it summarizes the legal, political, structural, and hydrological events influencing the restoration of Mono Lake and the streams diverted by LADWP.
Following the extremely wet 1982-83 winter season, high spring run-off overflowed Grant Lake Reservoir and spilled over into the dry streambed of Rush Creek. Late in the 1982 season, there was still more runoff than LADWP could divert through its aqueduct. This bounty led to year-round flows in Rush Creek for the first time in many years, reestablishing fish populations. Lee Vining Creek also spilled high flows during the summer of 1983, but the flows were intermittent and fish did not get established year-round. Mono Lake rose 9 feet by mid-1984.
The Public Trust Decision by the California Supreme Court declared that the State Water Resources Control Board had failed to uphold its public trust responsibilities when it granted the LADWP licenses to export water from the Mono Basin. As with the 1982-83 winter season, the 1983-84 winter season also was wet, and Rush Creek received continuous flows through a second winter.
By spring, the streamflows had diminished to the point that the L.A. Aqueduct could once again hold all the water. Later that fall, LADWP planned to "turn off" Rush Creek. California Trout initiated litigation, arguing that the State Water Board-approved water diversion licenses violated Fish & Game code section 5937, which requires water releases below dams to protect fish. A court-ordered temporary injunction resulted in minimum year-round flows in Rush Creek until the litigation was concluded. (Similar court orders provided for minimum flows in Lee Vining Creek in 1986 and for Walker and Parker creeks in 1990.) Ultimately, these cases were coordinated with the Mono Lake public trust litigation under the jurisdiction of the El Dorado Superior Court.
The Third District Court of Appeals issued its decision on litigation initiated by Caltrout, known as CalTrout II, which ordered interim flows in all four of the diverted streams and ordered DWP "to reestablish and maintain the fisheries which existed in [Rush and Lee Vining creeks] prior to its diversion of water," setting the stage for restoration.
A subsequent El Dorado Superior Court order resulted in the creation of a Restoration Technical Committee (RTC), comprised of those actively engaged in the ongoing litigation, including LADWP. The task of the RTC was to set restoration policy and authorize interim restoration activities while the State Water Board completed the Mono Basin EIR and reached its decision. Debate within the RTC focused on the degree and type of intervention. Given the relatively low stream flows ordered by the court, which did not provide sufficient energy for the stream to recreate its former processes, the RTC eventually chose a mechanical approach to restoration. Some of the work completed under the RTC washed out or was subsequently modified by high flows in 1995 and 1997. The RTC also oversaw development of reports that provided a strong base of scientific information used subsequently by the State Water Board in its deliberations on Mono Lake. The RTC disbanded when the State Water Board issued its Mono Lake decision in 1994.
The State Water Board's Decision 1631 (D.1631) set a target lake level for Mono Lake, established minimum flows and annual peak flows for the creeks, and ordered DWP to develop restoration plans for the streams and for waterfowl habitat.
The Mono Lake Committee began planting trees—1500 along Lee Vining Creek that year—and reading groundwater levels in piezometers. The first year of high flows unrestricted by DWP gave the stream scientists evidence that mimicking natural flows would restore the streams. Mono Lake began rising and after several wet years rose 12 feet by mid-1999.
DWP released its Mono Basin Restoration Plans for the restoration of (a) the four streams historically diverted by DWP (Rush, Lee Vining, Walker and Parker creeks) and (b) waterfowl habitat. These plans were based on the work of independent scientists and incorporated most but not all of the scientists' recommendations. A number of parties argued that DWP's plans were inadequate to achieve the restoration called for by D.1631, particularly (in the case of the stream plan) with regard to the peak flows proposed and to "termination criteria," the prediversion condition against which to measure restoration progress.
In January, a rain-on-snow flood brought a very high flow to Lee Vining Creek that made many changes to the stream channel. Even though the Mono Basin Restoration Plans were still pending approval before the State Water Board, LADWP initiated baseline restoration monitoring on the streams. In this first season, restoration consultants hired by LADWP began mapping select reaches of Rush and Lee Vining creeks and testing fish population monitoring techniques. In the fall, waterfowl surveys around Mono Lake were undertaken as well.

After hearings, which included examination of a Settlement Agreement signed by most but not all parties, the State Water Board issued its order on restoration at Mono Lake. Key features of the final Mono Basin Restoration plans include: flow regimes on the streams that are based on the natural hydrograph; a stream monitoring program that will be the basis for adaptive management of stream work over time and the means of measuring when restoration is complete; reopening of certain abandoned secondary channels on Rush Creek; raising the lake to 6,392 feet for waterfowl habitat; improving existing freshwater ponds for migrating waterfowl; and annual aerial monitoring of waterfowl and waterfowl habitat. LADWP's restoration monitoring, initiated by restoration consultants in 1997, continued.

The capacity of the ditch was upgraded to 380 cubic feet per second (cfs), a required normal-year peak flow. Previously the capacity was 160 cfs and prevented Water Board-ordered flows from being released. A flow of 380 cfs was tested in 2004.

In the late summer and Fall LADWP installed a new gate in the Lee Vining Diversion Dam. This gate allows automatic and remote control of water diversions, and can be lowered to empty the diversion pond and allow sediment to pass downstream. A sediment bypass system was ordered to be implemented by the Water Board in 1998. The new technology also ended the periodic minimum flow violations caused by the design of the original 1940 structure.

Back to back wetter than average years provided a tremendous leap forward for the stream restoration program. Four drier-than-average years since 2000 had caused the deferring of some restoration work (such as channel reopenings). On Rush Creek, two years of Wet-normal peak flows (2004 and 2005) and one year of Wet peak flows (2006) have provided dynamic energy to the stream that has been missing since the late 1990s. Monitoring data from these three years have provided additional information for the restoration effort.

I speak to many groups on thoughts, feelings and beliefs and why they are so important. Our expectations and actions stem from our perception of the world and will always dictate more of the same, unless and until, we start shifting. I will be speaking to the ABWA in Austin next week on this subject, and again next month in Houston. As we make personal shifts toward love, compassion, joy, empathy, giving, and gratitude, our personal reality changes and ripples out into the grid. I hope you enjoy this video I found below that goes into some of the quantum reasons behind this phenomenon.

Dunes Silver Cuff Ring
Write a review
It took a long time to get this design right. The result is one of the best rings in our collection.
The concave shape comfortably hugs your finger. The tapered ends make it feel like your wearing a smaller ring. And the texture! I love how it captures and reflects light.
Also a pretty fabulous thumb ring.
Adjustable to fit everyone. Sterling silver overlay.

Hi Friends. My Grandma turns 93 years young in a couple of weeks and I wanted to make her a special card to go along with the shawl I made for her. First, I'll tell you a bit about the shawl. I'm relatively new to knitting and crochet and I only know the basics but I LOVE making these shawls! You can find the pattern HERE. I made the same shawl for my Grandma a few years ago and no joke, she wears it EVERY DAY. Suffice to say it's starting to get a bit tattered. Here's the new one I'm popping in the mail for her today:
|"Splendid Triangle Shawl"
So onto the card; I really enjoyed making this - I used the Flower Patch stamp set and coordinating Flower Fair Framelits. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the Butterfly Basics stamp set.
To make the card: I embossed the little flower from "Flower Patch" in white to create the background. I used an image from the same set on a piece of vellum and embossed with gold for the overlay. Once I cut out the flowers and leaves I misted with water, scrunched them up for some texture and let them dry. I find the multipurpose liquid glue works best for adhering the flowers onto the card.
