I write about video games: the industry and the culture.
Former CD Projekt producer Tomasz Gop is working on a new RPG influenced by Dark Souls and Batman: Arkham City.
Nathan Grayson at Rock, Paper, Shotgun passes along some very exciting news in the world of RPG development. It turns out former CD Projekt senior producer Tomasz Gop, a member of the team behind The Witcher games, has moved on to German developer Deck13, and is working on a new title code-named 'Project RPG.'
"Project RPG will be action-based, with a focus on skill and translating play style into a story that evolves accordingly," Grayson writes. "Combat apparently takes cues from Dark Souls and Batman: Arkham City, so I'm expecting high-velocity air-to-surface sky tackling and a fittingly somber, understated tone."
Hear that? Translating play style into a story that evolves accordingly.
You can't find a more precise summary of what we've been talking about in our ongoing discussion of storytelling in video games.
"Enemies will be designed to be recognizable not by their appearance but their behavior and fighting style," writes Matthew Reynolds at Digital Spy.
The world itself is intriguing. It's set "1,000 years after the death of a God," Reynolds continues, "whose corpse is a mountain that splits the world into two sides, each with their own philosophy." You can see that God's hand in the picture above, jutting out from the earth, stony nails pointing eerily at the sky.
As a player, you must decide which side to align yourself with. Obviously all sorts of room for deep lore tied directly to the gaming experience exists here – though execution, as always, is key.
It's good to see so many serious attempts at tackling the RPG genre. I know I gripe sometimes that the games are being dumbed down, but that's only half-true. Lots of very smart games are being made, and it's great to see so much experimentation with the form – hits and misses alike.
For all my criticism of Skyrim, it's still an enormously impressive game. And within months of its release we also saw Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Dark Souls. In just a few days, we'll have a Witcher 2 port on the 360 (though I can't decide if I want to play that first, or start with the PC version.)
Either way, 'Project RPG' definitely looks promising.
According to Digital Spy, the game is currently entering its prototype phase. It will be released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC sometime in 2013. It is being developed by Deck13, and will be published by City Interactive.
Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. Read my Forbes blog here.
This DOES sound promising. It's encouraging to hear news of someone genuinely interested in refinement of a genre that has been feeling quite diluted lately. Thanks for highlighting this.
Needless to say if this comes to pass (on PC), I will definitely be on board. Fantasy RPGs are the games I find myself enjoying most (with strategy and RTS).
In regards to your comment on the Witcher 2 I would recommend playing the PC version but with a controller. The game is so well optimized you can play it on ultra or at least high (minus ubersampling) and get silky smooth framerates on modestly built PC's. In comparison, outside the desaturation of the color pallet on the the console version it looks great for being on 2006 hardware. But from what gamespot posted in their comparison video it looks roughly equal to medium settings. I do think the game is better with a controller however, if at the very least because of the UI. Great game, you're in for a treat.
Lots of good places to get ideas for how to build a PC on a budget. I would recommend Tom's Hardware and Tech Report as two of the better ones.
This definitely sounds like it has lots of potential, but given their track record – of which only Venetica is somewhat notable, yet still marred with many execution problems – I'm not completely confident the developer has what it takes to handle such an ambitious project. But one can hope.
As far Witcher II goes, both versions will receive all the content. PC version definitely still has the hand in terms of graphics fidelity (it's been touted as one of if not the best looking PC games since it's release), but you'd need a beast of a system to run it with all the bells and whistles and retain a smooth framerate. Combat is probably more suited for a controller than keyboard, but I believe it supports X360 pad directly so you can just plug and play with that.
It may also be worth giving the original Witcher a looksee to, as in terms of narrative and meaningful choices, it's almost as good as it's sequel. Only the engine makes it somewhat unoptimized game, and the timing-base, rock paper scissors combat system is a bit on the iffy side as well.
This sounds very promising. I hope Tomasz Gop can bring some of the expertise I'm sure he must have learned from his days at CD Projekt to the table. CD Projekt are one of the few developers I consider to be "doing it right" in the gaming industry these days, along with the likes of Valve and From Software. Time will tell whether or not the developers will deliver quality of game we are all hoping for but so far they are saying all the right things as far as the way they want to develop the story. What they have released of the backstory sounds interesting and the artwork puts me in mind of Shadow of the Colossus, which I loved.
I also think it is interesting that this is happening with a developer based in Germany. I believe that Germany traditionally has a good market for RPG and adventure games so hopefully they have some good knowledge to draw from on what makes a good game in that genre. I know Piranha Bytes, another German developer, are just about to release Risen 2 which looks very interesting. Hopefully they can do something similar with this game.
And welcome back to PC gaming Erik, hope you enjoy the stay!
By now I'm accustomed to (former Lionhead Studio's) Peter Molyneux's expressions of "what he wanted to do in a game" vs "what could actually be developed." The playable version of Peter's vision always fell somewhere between his *promises* and what was physically implementable.
I am also accustomed to waiting for Bethesda to develop their titles (which are traditionally not churned out in two years or less, or "in time for holiday distribution" constraints.
RPG's are a favourite genre of mine and I'm always looking for a gaming development house who can deliver. I had asked Paul Tassi in his and your FB Q & A chat session:
What do you think are the far reaching consequences for gaming? Do you think game houses and developers will seek to make and market more sport type or linear games and avoid story driven/rpg games in orderto avoid a "Mass Effect 3″ effect from their fans? What do you think of the possibility that BioWare is or was being pressured or wants to make more EA style games and M.E. 3 is simply their attempt to 'shake off' their RPG fan base for a different gaming demographic?
Paul Tassi @Stacy, Games are getting more and more story driven, and that's not going to change with this. And it shouldn't. Despite stumbling at the finish line, Mass Effect remains one of the best sci-fi stories told across ANY medium, and has been a huge success. What developer wouldn't want that?
That was an interesting answer. It's my fervent hope that RPG style gaming would not be phased out in favour of First Person Shooter or more linear style games. It's with great interest and curiosity that I've been regarding CD Projekt and "The Witcher" series. They may be the "breath of fresh air" that RPG games *and gamers* need.
From the sources I've been reading over here in Poland, it seems the game is actually made by another polish developer, City Interactive. Not a great track record for those guys so far, most of their earlier games were pretty much straight-to-the-bargain-bin titles, but after scoring big on "Sniper" they decided to change their MO. It's possible Deck13 guys are involved in the project, but as far as I can tell, it's not flying under their colours.
Other than that, I'm really hopeful they will get it right. Tomasz Gop comments from time to time on the polish website I mentioned, and when Dark Souls came out you couldn't stop him talking about how great it is. You can bet any money it's gonna be huge inspiration :)

"Guaranteed to be an instant comfort food favorite. Inspired by a Rachel Ray recipe, I have modified it by adding a creamy and cheesy kick to it. You'll be dreaming about this dish. Feel free to play with the recipe. I put in the cream cheese and Cheddar to make it creamier. I am a huge fan of Buffalo Chicken Dip and wanted this dish to be similar."

- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground chicken. Cook and stir until the chicken is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Stir in the onion, garlic, salt and black pepper; cook until the onion has softened, about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Combine chicken stock, Buffalo wing sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Pour into the skillet with the chicken and add the Neufchatel and Cheddar cheese; simmer and stir until the cheeses have melted and everything is well combined. Serve on buns, and top with crumbled blue cheese.

My husband and I enjoyed these very much. I only used 1 lb of chicken since it was just 2 of us but used the full amt of sauce. I doubled the hot sauce and reduced the chicken stock by the same amount so I ended up with 1 cup of liquid. That was the perfect amount of heat for us but I would build up to it if you don't care for a good amount of spicy. I find buffalo chicken dip can be too rich with all the cream cheese but this recipe incorporated it perfectly; enough to taste it but not overwhelming. Thanks for the keeper!
I loved this recipe! The only problem I had was that it wasn't spicy enough! so for those of you who like it a little spicier, double the hot sauce! other than that i absolutely loved this recipe! I will definitely make it in the future!!!!
Made these for my boyfriend and I a couple nights ago and we were pleasantly surprised! Didn't know what to expect, as we never really make ground chicken or sloppy joes. I more than doubled the hot sauce because, as many people have said, it wasn't spicy enough as is. Also left off the bleu cheese. One thing I'd highly recommend: Make sure you serve with sturdy hamburger buns. Ours were just the store brand and they did not hold up!

Some of the best tweets from Saturday's 3-2 victory over New England are below... Have the chance to see your tweets in a future gallery, by hashtagging #cf97!
The Fire are proud to be a sponsor of the Great Chicago Fire Hydrants, a public art exhibition celebrating the heroism of Chicago's firefighters. The city-wide program launched on September 11, but the Fire wanted to give our fans a first glimpse of our hydrant at tonight's game before it goes on display for two months at the Hancock Plaza downtown.
In addition to the Fire and our creative team, scores of other local artists have decorated 5-foot tall fiberglass fire hydrants sponsored by Chicagoland businesses. The first hydrants were installed in various locations around the city last week on September 11. Following the public exhibition the hydrants will be auctioned on December 4, 2013 to benefit the 100 Club of Chicago, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the families of fallen police and firefighters.
Two special touches to the hydrant appear on its rings. The top honors the seven members of the club's Ring of Fire: Peter Nowak, Frank Klopas, Lubos Kubik, Peter Wilt, Bob Bradley, Chris Armas and C.J. Brown. While the club's three tenets -- Tradition. Honor. Passion. – appear on the base ring (check out the photo gallery below).
Get your photo with the Fire's hydrant located behind Section 8 during the game up until half time and in the Stadium Club post-game. Don't worry – if you miss your opportunity to get a photo, stop by the Hancock Plaza (just steps from The Chicago Water Tower) beginning next week to see the hydrant on display through November.
Be sure to tag photos with #cf97 and http://www.facebook.com/greatchicagofirehydrants or on Twitter.

I have a confession to make. I'm a new Chicago Fire fan, having been hired to oversee communications for the club just six months ago. But according to some folks, I was also a "s***** hire." The only professional experience ("zero soccer experience") I have is "promoting a video game" and I do "not belong leading the Communications department."
Additionally, I also "need to shave." To be fair, that one is true, but my wife thinks I look weird totally clean shaven. To be fairer, all of the other statements might also be true, but I would like the opportunity to prove how s*****I am first. To be fairest of all, maybe I already have proven it six months into the job.
But I'm more interested in learning what made me a s***** hire on day one? What brought about the warm reception from a vocal few as I was introduced as a new member of the "Fire family?" My best guess is that because I work for an owner who is supposedly "cheap," "doesn't care," and only sees the team as a "toy." Or maybe it's because I'm joining a front office staff that just "doesn't get it" or only makes "bad decisions."
Really? Yikes.
Fortunately, those are the only things that I've read about online, or have had forwarded my way, or that I have seen on the supporter message boards (I would hate to read the non-supporter boards). That was until the experience at the U.S. Open Cup semifinal when the Fire laid a giant egg against D.C. United. I don't pretend to know all the history, but from what I've heard, the stories told to me, watching the videos, hearing from staff and our owner, I knew how important this game was. I knew why the Club decided to promote the heck out of it (Facebook ads, on broadcast, social media, letter from ownership, ads at the Messi & Friends game, ads at the U.S. Soccer Viewing Party, free parking, make-up games, discounted food, etc.), and while the crowd and atmosphere led by a robust showing of Section 8 were great, unfortunately the result was gut wrenchingly disappointing.
Yes, ownership and family were at the game. And yes, fans have a right to boo and show how disappointed they are, especially when the Club they love doesn't perform up to expectations. Look, I'm an unabashed Detroit Lions fan, I know the mentality of a fan going an entire season without winning or watching a team go longer than a decade without a playoff appearance. It's the thrill of victory and agony of defeat that makes sports great. And from what I've seen and heard from Fire supporters, I know it runs even deeper in soccer than anywhere else in sports.
But are personal attacks, threats, accusations, etc., that happened at that Open Cup game OK? Are shouting obscenities to staff, our owner and his family, or other supporters attending games with their families the norm? There's a fine line between love and hate and being critical vs. being destructive. Certain incidents in particular related to that game have given me and others at the Club pause.
It has been shared with me that the Club's charter (co-written by our owner and Section 8 leadership) makes it clear that all who enter Toyota Park are to be "respectful of all other supporters, participants, match officials, entertainers, athletes, stadium personnel, staff members and stadium property." Are to "behave in a responsible manner and not interfere in other supporters' enjoyment of the match." And are "to refrain from using foul, sexist, racial, or offensive language including any type of obscene gesture."
In the aftermath of that game, we/I have heard from many longstanding supporters who were afraid, fearful, disgusted with certain attendees behavior. Our role as a club is to draw a line and protect the sanctity and honor of the organization and all its supporters.
While I may be new to the team, I know the Club isn't delusional. Owner Andrew Hauptman has set high standards that he hasn't shied away from. And while these standards might not always be met, you can tell that he has instilled into this group a focus on performance, community, collaboration and connectivity. In many ways, the club is more successful than ever by these standards, including the footprint of its foundation, social reach, growth in corporate partnerships, expansion of the season ticket base, deep investments and exponential scale in youth and recreational soccer, broadcasting and so on.
But beyond that, there's the other side that you don't always get to see. Chances are that if you've met our owner or even just had a conversation with him, you know he tells it like it is, for good or for bad. There's also a real sense of caring at the Fire, be it regarding the business of the club, or on a more personal level. One "Fire family" isn't a cliché. The inclusive and authentic nature of our culture starts from the top down. Hopefully you see pieces of it in action by just attending a game and being welcomed at Toyota Park, or from our partnership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository (including upcoming Food Drive at our September 1 game), our annual Practice in the Community event coming up this Saturday, our commitment to inclusiveness by participating at the Pride Parade or the upcoming Pride Initiative on September 28, staff members lobbying City Council on behalf of LGBT athletes, honoring important community leaders on Hispanic Heritage night, partnering with Chicago Public Schools, and so on.
Even going back to the field, earlier in the season, ownership was the first to tell you that the team on the field was frankly just not good enough (even though the jury is out on this year). And in sports, because of that, there will always be those who want ownership to sell. Want to make calls for front office firings? Find me someone who doesn't think they could be doing their job better. Telling me I suck at my job? That all comes with the territory I guess. But don't also be surprised that if someone personally goes after anyone in the Club or its supporters in a way that defies the inclusive culture being built at the Fire, that the Club will respond sincerely and want to know why they would still want to be a part of it?
Our integrity within this Club actually matters to us. For me personally and others on the staff, this is our livelihood. Failure isn't an option. Why would we choose to work together on building this Club with anyone who takes a stand that prevents progress, espouses negativity and is just downright not truthful, inhibiting us from doing our jobs to the best of our ability? Or worse, make attending a game for a supporter a fearful experience?
I don't pretend to know everything there is to know about soccer, the Fire or MLS. But what attracted me to the job is working in sports, connecting with passionate fans, being part of an organization that stands up for values like integrity, hard work, and humility and a 24/7 desire to bleed for this incredible Club. I heard every one of those elements in my conversations with our owner, AK, and others I met before making the decision to join. I knew that I was becoming part of a bigger movement, tasked with growing the game and the Club, leaving a positive impact on the community and Chicago as a whole. And with all its inherent challenges, that's what we are going to do. For me personally, I would love your help to get there. In fact, I know how much I need it.
I have another confession – the majority of folks I've met since I've joined, the staff, supporters, bloggers, media, Club Seat Holders, Section 8 members, etc., have all been more than welcoming. I've felt that they want both the Club and me to succeed. While there will always be those who might choose a different route, I'm glad to know that there will be thousands of others that will have my back.
Over the weekend, Chicago Fire Season Ticket Holders began receiving #FIREUP renewal packets in the mail regarding 2014 Season Tickets. Chicago-Fire.com did a Q&A with Vice President of Ticket Sales, Service and Operations Mike Ernst to explain the philosophy behind some of the changes to the club's Season Ticket packages next season.
Chicago-Fire.com: Why is there a reduction from a 20 tickets to 18 tickets in the Season Ticket Holder packages?
Mike Ernst: Having discussed the potential move in the past, there are a couple of reasons we decided to make the switch this year.
First, we have seen over the course of the past several years that the Bonus Games were not always popular with our Season Ticket Holders. When we had a match against a big-name team like Manchester United, people were extremely happy, but if the game(s) were against a perceived lesser opponent, people were not as interested and were less likely to attend.
I think this stems from the fact that the games are exhibitions in nature and often times the regular starters did not play due to the competition calendar.
As a Club, we have tried to do our best to balance making sure the First Team is rested and has a competitive advantage in games that count (MLS Regular Season & U.S. Open Cup) while also putting on exhibitions that attract new, prospective fans.
C-F.com: Does the exclusion of Bonus Matches from this year's season ticket packages mean the Fire won't be hosting international friendlies next year?
ME: Far from it, exhibitions against international opponents will continue to be a focus for our Club going forward and we will give Season Ticket Holders the chance to purchase their tickets for any of these games before the general public. In addition, Season Ticket Holders will be able to purchase these tickets at a significant savings off the face value.
These matches give us the opportunity to raise the profile of our Club with the opponent's fan base and the broader general public. The goal of hosting these matches is to attract local fans of another Club to a Fire game with the aim of converting them to supporting their local Club.
It is critical for the continued growth of our Club to recruit new fans and then convert them to Season Ticket Holders over time.
C-F.com: Why has the Club shifted course on U.S. Open Cup games with the offering of the U.S. Open Cup Series Ticket? What does that mean?
ME: The U.S. Open Cup Series ticket will be the 18th game in the season ticket package. That ticket (and parking if applicable) will be good for up to three games if the Fire host the 3rd Round, 4th Round and Quarterfinal at home.
This change is the next step in ownership's commitment to contend for the U.S. Open Cup on an annual basis. In the past, we have and have not included U.S. Open Cup games in our season ticket package. We feel it is important to take this step, so that we give the guys on the field the best possible competitive advantage.
In the event that we do not host a U.S. Open Cup game at home, the Series ticket will be good for exchange to another MLS regular season home match.
C-F.com – What benefits are changing for Season Ticket Holders in 2014?
ME: The Club is committed to providing Fire fans with the best season ticket benefits in Chicago. In 2014, we will continue to offer free parking/$6 parking where applicable, the same exchange program to help you avoid wasting tickets, and a 20% off savings on merchandise at the TOYOTA PARK team store and online. In addition, it is important to note that we are not raising the price of tickets on a per-game basis.
Our goal is to continue to grow the season ticket base, so that we put the Club in a situation to sellout every match at TOYOTA PARK and thereby provide the team on the pitch with a home-field advantage. While that will not happen overnight, we believe that providing all Fire fans with an affordable and flexible season ticket option is critical to achieving our goal.
C-F.com – When can Season Ticket Holders expect to receive tickets for 2014?
We are expecting the 2014 season to begin sometime in early to mid-March, so we are aiming to have Season Tickets out by mid-February. It is important to us to make sure that this process goes as smoothly as possible.
In addition, we are still looking at options on how Season Tickets will be formatted for next year. There will be more information on that in the coming months.
On Tuesday, July 9, a Chicago Fire fan forwarded a Yahoo! article to owner Andrew Hauptman that included a detailed account of a young fan who wanted to meet soccer superstar Lionel Messi on his birthday only to be left disappointed.
Upon further digging, it turned out, he wasn't the only one. A group of approximately 75 fans had paid a premium for a meet and greet at the July 6 Messi & Friends event at Soldier Field that ultimately didn't come to be. Learning more about this group, the Fire owner's immediate response was to find a way to contact these fans and invite them for a true, VIP experience at an upcoming Chicago Fire game.
Through a little help from Dirty Tackle's Brooks Peck, an introduction was made, and then an invite was extended for those fans to be a guest of Andrew's for last Saturday's match against D.C. United. And while not everyone could attend, with some traveling from California, DC, Toronto and even as far as England for the original game, the Fire welcomed 16 fans to Toyota Park that night.
After a quick tour of the Park, a trip on field and even to the locker room, the guests enjoyed the game from the Second Star Club. The 4-1 win over United was the icing on the cake. Many of the fans were truly grateful for the invitation; calling it a "bright spot in all of this drama."
One of the families shared this note with the Club after the game:
"…My family and I would like to thank you for yesterday's awesome tickets. We had such a wonderful time and we won't forget it, ever. Please thank Mr. Andrew Hauptman for everything that he did for us. This was a beautiful experience. Looks like we'll be season ticket holders starting next year. Thank you!"
Don't forget, the Fire is still offering anyone with proof of purchase to the July 6 Messi & Friends event at Soldier Field a 50 percent discount on a ticket to the Aug. 7 Chicago Fire vs. D.C. United Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Semifinal match. All discounted ticket offers must be redeemed at the Toyota Park Box Office only. Inquiries regarding the discount can be directed to 1-888-MLS-FIRE.

Soccer in America is still constructing its infrastructure, and we need engineers. People to build the institutions that will support the weight. One of those engineers is here, with us. If you've watched a game in a bar in Chicago you probably already know him.
Tall, beer in hand, iconic rockabilly hat - that's the ubiquitous German Cowboy. His name is Mike Knueppel, and he's been in Chicago since 2005. You'll find him often at the far side of the bar in Cleo's on Chicago, sometimes in the back room, rarely on the patio, but you can always pick him out by his trademark collection of kits, dozens and dozens of them, all with COWBOY 57 on the back.
We were driving to Toyota Park on Wednesday night talking about all those jerseys. I once saw him change from a German kit to an American one at halftime of their friendly in June. How can one support ALL the teams? What happened to loyalty?
"I wear the shirt of who's playing," he said. "But mostly if they have a German player."
This was hard to take. Aren't we supposed to live and die for a club? That means hating other clubs, wishing harm on strangers in other colors, "You ain't got no history," all of that.
But he was saying something different. You watch because, first of all, you want to watch the game. The game is primary. Then, you have your local allegiance. His is German and Hamburger SV (He founded Hamburger SV Supporters Chicago with a few others.) He cares most of all about the German national team and he's willing to wear shirts of teams he "can live nicely without," as he says, like Bayern Munich, because of some of their players.
"I even bought a Bayern Munich shirt recently," he told me. "I mean I really shocked their supporters, they know I don't like that team, but as a fellow German I support them internationally."
I said, "This is troubling. You support players as they come and go? They're moving around constantly. It's like rooting for mercenaries."
"I don't support only the players. That's why I have COWBOY (or VAQUERO for Real Madrid) on my shirts with my birth year. At least I know that won't change. But first you support your local club."
That's fine too, but the logic breaks down again because what about the organizations with detestable front offices or ownership groups? (I'm thinking about even some of our Chicago teams' history.) You can't just support a team willy-nilly.
"It's true," he said. "But you have to support your location."
And Americans supporting European teams in places they may have never even seen in person?
These to me are the tough questions of support and fandom. What exactly are we doing supporting these teams, all over the world? Thankfully, seated in Toyota Park to watch our shared, indisputable, actual home team, we could lay the question aside for 90 minutes or so.
Fun game, too, right? Nice how the rain broke and the night warmed up. Dilly Duka more than deserved the standing ovation he got as he came off in the 87th. The Cowboy and I enjoyed watching him absolutely terrorize Quakes right back Steven Beitashour.
The night was beautiful. Leaving the stadium, I was mumbling about how we fans deserve these nights. Those cold, grinding results early in the season were tough. You could feel the fans' relief at the result. No disappointment this time. Wednesday night was even better because of the challenge and drama; San Jose wouldn't die, but the Fire earned the three points with three beautifully worked goals. "They won, that's all that matters," the Cowboy said. "Fans love the win."
There's a long story for how the Cowboy got to Chicago, a story including four weeks at the Presidential towers in 1987, karaoke, his wife Sharon, the city of Seattle, software programming - it's a story that he might tell you if you see him at Cleo's. He's not afraid to share.
And in some ways, it's fitting that he's around. The Cowboy embodies the 21st century globalized soccer paradigm. He can watch his Bundesliga, follow die Mannschaft, and participate in the growth of soccer in America, all from a comfortable neighborhood bar in Chicago. His work developing Cleo's website and social presence has made it one of the primary soccer locations in Chicago and turned heads nationally. Maybe most importantly, his unofficial freelance soccer ambassadorship has brought people from all over the world together.
You'll see him meeting with local supporter clubs (some of which he founded himself) like those of Dortmund and Hamburg, as well as Section 8, the Fire, ESPN, and just last week, in the beer garden, you would've seen him watching Uruguay and Italy in the Confederations Cup with Hamburg's senator of the interior and highest ranking police officer.
Ever since he convinced Cleo's to let him fix up their site and control their Facebook page, and with the blessing and help of Stephen behind the bar, the Cowboy has been our handyman, fixing up games and posting schedules so we can watch American and European soccer at our ease. "I wanted a bar where I know them and they know me and I get there they put the drink on the bar," he said. "Where I can watch all the games and they'll open early."
In other words, it's not really about the fanaticism of watching games. Going back to our conversation about supporting clubs, it became clear to me that the whole "it's what's on the front of the jersey, not the back of the jersey" thing is cheesy and doesn't apply - just having a jersey is what matters. In this way, the Cowboy is critical in experience-making. He's not an owner of the bar, or even an employee - he's one of us. His work setting up games and events at Cleo's, with just watching the game as the goal, means that there's less pressure to know esoteric European stadium statistics, or to spew hatred for teams thousands of miles away.
Maybe that's the answer about why we support who and how. Maybe we just support the game. Watch the game for the game's sake. Love the game. Talk to people. Drink beer. Amen.

Taxonomy and Thesauri in Drupal 6
In this article by David Mercer, we will see how Taxonomy makes Drupal's classification system so powerful. The method of categorizing content in Drupal makes it one of the most sophisticated content management systems around. Take the time to master working with taxonomy in Drupal, because not only will this help you to work out how to manage content better, but it will also really set your site apart from others because of the flexible and intuitive manner in which the content is organized. These attributes allow you to manage a site of pretty much any size imaginable (just in case what you are working on is "the next big thing").Read Taxonomy and Thesauri in Drupal 6 in full
Social Bookmarking with WordPress Plugin
In this article by Vladimir Prelovac, we will learn to create our first functional WordPress plugin and learn how to interact with the WordPress API (this is the WordPress interface to PHP) on the way. The knowledge you will gain in this article alone will allow you to write a lot of similar plugins.
Let's get moving! In this article, you will learn:
- Creating a new plugin and having it displayed in the plugins admin panel
- Checking the WordPress version and control activation of the plugin
- Accessing API features—for example the title and permalink URL of each post
- Using WordPress hooks to execute your plugin code when it's needed
- Using conditional tags to control the flow of your plugins
CEP and SOA: Six Letters Are Better than Three
This article by Michael Havey explains to SOA veterans how to make good use of Complex Event Processing (CEP): a technology that is perhaps unfamiliar and obscure. CEP is a large topic, but we will focus on four specific subjects:
- The nature of CEP, explained in terms of its relationship with SOA.
- Where CEP fits in the SOA stack.
- The contrasting coding styles of CEP and SOA.
- CEP-aware SOA processes.
Development of Ajax Web Widget
This is a 5 part mini series by Roshan Bhattarai, covering basics of Widget, development of Wiki seek Widget, Pop-up Image Widget, RSS Web Widget, and Delicious Tagometer Widget.
The web is becoming more flexible and dynamic from day to day. The service and functionality provided by a particular website is not limited to itself. We can extend it to other websites by placing a few lines of code in their web pages called Widget.
In this article we will explore the technologies that go behind making a Widget and understand its working.Read Development of Ajax Web Widget in full
jQuery UI—The Dialog: Part 2
In the previous part of the article, we learned how to create a basic dialog, work with dialog's properties and callbacks, and add buttons to the dialog.
In this final part of the article by Dan Wellman, we will learn how to enable animations for the dialog and how to control the dialog programmatically.Read jQuery UI—The Dialog: Part 2 in full
jQuery UI—The Dialog: Part 1
Traditionally, the way to display a brief message or ask a visitor a question would be to use one of JavaScript's native dialog boxes, such as alert or confirm, or to open a new web page with a predefined size, styled to look like a dialog box. Unfortunately, neither of these methods is particularly flexible or engaging. For each problem they solve, several new problems are usually introduced.
Thankfully, the days of resorting to either of the aforementioned techniques are over. We can now make use of the advanced functionality and rich features of the jQuery UI dialog widget. The dialog widget lets us display a message, supplemental content (like images or text), or even interactive content (like forms). It's also very easy to add buttons, such as simple ok and cancel buttons, to the dialog and define callback functions for them in order to react to their being clicked.
In this first part of the article by Dan Wellman, we will complete the following tasks:
- Create a basic dialog
- Create a custom dialog skin
- Work with dialog's properties
- Enable modality and see an overlay
- Add buttons to the dialog
- Work with dialog's callbacks.
jQuery Embedded in Dojo Accordion Panes
Safely Manage Different Versions of Content with Plone
Essential capabilities of content management are the abilities to view the 'change history' of a content item, to compare various versions with one another, and optionally, to revert to a previous version of a content item.
In this article, Darci Hanning discusses how to use versioning in Plone to examine the history of changes made to a content item, to preview and compare versions, and to revert to a previous version of a content item.Read Safely Manage Different Versions of Content with Plone in full
jQuery UI Accordion Widget - Part 2
The accordion widget is a robust and highly configurable widget that allows you to save space on your web pages by only displaying a certain section of related content at any one time. This is like a tabbed interface but positioned vertically instead of horizontally. It's easy for your visitors to use and it's easy for us to implement. It has a range of configurable properties that can be used to customize its appearance and behaviour. It also has a series of methods that allow you to control it programmatically.
In the previous part of this article, we looked at the structure of an accordion widget and its configurable properties. In this second part by Dan Wellman, we will cover the following topics:
- Built-in types of animation
- Custom accordion events
Simplifying Parallelism Complexity in C#
In order to simplify parallelism complexities and to avoid many concurrency pains, we must use the object-oriented capabilities offered by the C# programming language and design patterns. In this article, we will drastically simplify the creation of new parallelized code avoiding some advanced concurrent programming difficulties. Reading this article by Gastón C. Hillar and following the exercises we shall :
- Learn to combine single-threaded code with multithreaded code
- Use of object-oriented design patterns to simplify the creation of parallelized code
- Solve various problems to specialize in segmentation algorithms and achieve thread affinity
- Encapsulate multithreaded algorithms to create high-performance and safer independent pieces
- Learn to avoid problems with design instead of solving them using very difficult-to-apply algorithms
Structure the Content on your Plone Site
Just like building a house, you need to have a strong foundation and framework to support a site that is built to last, without needing any major rebuilding in the future. Proper planning from the beginning will go a long way towards having a site that is easy to maintain. In this article, Tom Conklin will show us how to structure and organize your content so that your site is poised to grow.Read Structure the Content on your Plone Site in full
User Security and Access Control in JBoss portals
Every asset in the constraint declaration is restricted to a certain role, and every role ties back to a user or an entity. In this article by Ramanujam Rao, we will discuss the ways in which authentication and authorization is facilitated in JBoss portal. We will also discuss other aspects related to authentication and user management such as single sign-on.Read User Security and Access Control in JBoss portals in full
Adding Interactive Course Material in Moodle 1.9: Part 1
In this three-part article series by William Rice, we will learn how to add Interactive course material in Moodle. Interactive course activities enable students to interact with the instructor, the learning system, or each other. Note that Moodle doesn't categorize activities into 'Interactive' and 'Static'. In Moodle, all activities are added from the Add an activity... menu after turning the editing on. We use the terms 'Interactive' and 'Static' as a convenient way to categorize the activities that Moodle offers.Read Adding Interactive Course Material in Moodle 1.9: Part 1 in full
jQuery UI Accordion Widget - Part 1
The accordion widget is another UI widget made up of a series of containers for your content, all of which are closed except for one. Therefore, most of its content is initially hidden from view. Each container has a heading element associated with it, which is used to open the container and display the content. When you click on a heading, its content is displayed. When you click on another heading, the currently visible content is hidden while the new content is shown.
It should be noted that the height of the accordion's container element will automatically be set so that there is room to show the tallest content panel in addition to the headers. This will vary, of course, depending on the width that you set on the widget's container.
In this article by Dan Wellman, we are going to cover the following topics:
- The structure of an accordion widget
- A default implementation of an accordion
- Adding custom styling
- The configurable properties
- Built-in methods for working with the accordion
JBoss Portals and AJAX - Part 1
JBoss portal blends the dynamism and rich functionality offered by AJAX with its strong portal architecture to provide users with choices for developing highly-functional portal applications. The latest portlet specification, JSR-286, provides an easy and intuitive approach to implementing asynchronous calls that was not possible in JSR-168. In the first part of this article, we will discuss the limitations of the current specification and walk through an example portlet to understand how AJAX can enhance portlets. The next part will talk about AJAX support for markup.Read JBoss Portals and AJAX - Part 1 in full

Izotope has released a "sampling re-synthesizer" called Iris. Many years ago I was at Sam Ash in White Plains. There was a guy demoing some IRCAM software. He told me it was top secret. You could see audio; not in a waveform sense but spread like an image with varying colors as parts of the sounds. You could then draw on the image and filter out audio. That product was never released to the public. I suspect the French government was using it in it's crime labs. Iris reminds me of that software and a bit more. Some of the tech from Iris certainly comes from Izotope's own amazing RX audio cleaning software. Check out the videos above as they will show you what Iris can do better than any text. I'm going to get this one and first thing put my own vocals into it. It's $149 USD and comes with a 4GB library.
"Evolve your sounds rapidly with Iris?s diverse and intuitive visual selection tools. By drawing shapes in the Iris spectrogram, you can isolate speciic audio frequencies within a sample and play them back immediately on your MIDI keyboard." – izotope.com

Another one!
Another one!
I love Javier so voted for him.
~I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.~ (Charles R. Swindoll)
I couldn't put in all my votes because you left Menshov off the list. I was very impressed with him at CoR where he should have medalled.
Plushenko, of course - someone with that many championships and that much talent can never be written off - and I think maybe Gachinski will overcome his early-season problems and hopefully repeat his Euros excellence last year.
Oh crud, I totally forgot about Menshov- sorry guys!
Fernandez and Plushenko for sure. Didnt even vote for another as I have no idea beyond that.
I voted for Plushenko, Fernandez, and Joubert. The third might be wishful thinking given Joubert's current injured state, but I can hope, can't I? lol. It could be Amodio instead, or Menshov, who as some have mentioned, is not on the list. With the way Gachinski's been skating I can't see him on the podium.
Fernandez, Plushenko and Amodio !
peter liebers on the list? oh you´re so funny
More love for Joubert than last year's Euro silver medallist? Really? :/
Sorry, didn't vote for Joubert because he has not been performing well and is injured not because I think poorly of his skating. But I can be proven wrong. Voted for Plushenko too because if the screws still hold, he's still capable of beating them all. I lurvvv cutie Fernandez ... so hope he will medal too.
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
Anyways I'd say Fernandez is a lock, if Plush shows up, he'll likely be on the podium, and the third guy is a toss up, nearly everyone in contention (Amodio, Brezina, Gatchinski, Joubert, Menshov, etc.) is really inconsistent so it's anyone's guess as to who will skate well at that given comp.
but Kovtun is a Junior
He's not required to stay junior all season- and since he's capable of medaling at Nationals given his score, I included him- its the same as Dornbush the year he won silver and made it to Worlds. I would have put Menshov in instead of Liebers if I realized I forgot him though....
If Plushenko is healthy enough to compete, he is a good bet for a medal (not necessarily gold)
Fernandez, in spite of the few melt downs he has had, has a very good chance to medal- even win if he skates a respectable LP & a solid SP
I had a tough time choosing between Amodio and Brezina. I picked Amodio because of his recent success, but Brezina is equally capable of medalling, IMO.

30. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradeBenzene Aug 8, 2010 6:27 AM in response to cjovejoI have this same issue, except it happened once before I upgraded the OS also. The GPS works fine one day, then it suddenly stops. It will get an approximate fix based on cell tower triangulation, but the actual GPS receiver isn't functioning. Last time this happened i had to get a replacement iphone. Good thing thing i have the apple care so i can replace phone every 6 months when the GPS fails. Thing that ticks me off is my wife's iphone locks the position every time, and has for almost a year.

31. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradeRembert Oldenboom Aug 17, 2010 2:32 PM in response to cjovejoI have a 3G with IOS4 and use the latest version of Navigon. The GPS reception got terrible after the upgrade but when I turn off wifi, reboot the phone then it does work pretty well and doesn't loose the fix all too often. If someone calls me, Navigon will be restarted properly.
Before, with IOS3, I could just use System Activity Monitor to free some Ram and then start Navigon and get a fix fairly easy.
I was already looking around for a TomTom GPS holder for my Navigon but it seems to be IOS4 related so I just wait for Apple to fix this. Buying the 4G is not possible due to contract restrictions. And no, I don't have Apple Care.
32. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradesskunky Aug 17, 2010 3:02 PM in response to cjovejoI have been in contact with TomTom and they say to delete all data from the phone and iTunes then reinstall. And guess what ........It still doesn't work. They don't seem to be bothered and even told me that hey didn't know about this problem! A little rich seeing as they seem to have a critical os4 update on the app! Oh, and guess what? That doesn't make the slightest bit of difference either.I even updated the last os4 update thinking that they might have fix the issue, that didn't work either....... I have spent all this money and it's useless and you don't seem to give a ****? Your Policy is that once you have downloaded the app there is no refund and in this case no after sales support???
I may have just as well gone out and bought a TomTom device, at least that would have worked and I not lost my money.
33. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradedigitalb0y Aug 25, 2010 9:00 AM in response to cjovejoAlso have this same issue since IOS 4. I mountain bike the same trails I always do now the GPS says i'm going over a huge river on my MTB never had done that before the 4 upgrade.
I called Apple Support. After mentioning all my troubleshooting steps and issues. I was told this is a known issue and is being worked on but no ETA or even a mailing list about the progress. They recommended me buying the Newest Phone. Truly Apple really has gone downhill with their support of their last gen products! One mention though the tech was for the most part polite and courteous as in the past but could not fix the issue.
34. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradeBlackAngelll Aug 25, 2010 2:02 PM in response to digitalb0yHi
I had the same problem when installed the ios4...
I think the problem is some incompatibility with some apps you may have. Try to remove some app's and try it again. In last chance restore all again and BEFORE Sync with iTunes try MAPS to check if GPS is working
Thats how i resolved it =)
35. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradeRembert Oldenboom Aug 25, 2010 2:20 PM in response to cjovejoAbove I wrote how I managed to get my 3G working. But I guess I've been lucky. Right now I just have to keep trying to start Navigon again and again. And all of a sudden, it will work in the end. Last week it took me 40 minutes (while driving!) to get it working - I got a good fix just 1 mile before the highway exit. In the industrial area I lost the fix again as someone tried to call me twice (both times I pushed them away) so this caused me to get very annoyed about Apple. If anyone would have offered me an Android system + navigation for whatever price I would have bought it right away.
Some pecularities while trying though: more than once it seemed I just had a great fix. I just experienced the triangular symbol, representing my position, following the road and in the end disappear in the distance. So the fix seems OK but the map just doesn't move.
From other people having similar problems, I understood google maps is working perfectly. Didn't check it as my 1.5 yo daughter managed to delete the icon from the 3g somehow.
36. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgraderamezn Aug 30, 2010 9:23 AM in response to cjovejoI have the same problem in the London, UK. After upgrading to iOS4 on my iphone 3g, the GPS hardly ever seems to fix. no pulsating blue dot ever!
I went to two different locations away from building and trees and i never got a gps fix or pulsating dot. I purchased a gps app skoobler for £1.90 or something and that was having the same problem as the maps app.
come on apple! fix it please
37. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgraderamezn Aug 30, 2010 9:26 AM in response to cjovejotriangulation is the only gps function working on iphone 3g when you upgrade to iOS4. There is a bug that stops true GPS lockon and pulsating dot... that's what i've seen with my iPhone 3G on iOS4 upgrade.
so annoyed!
38. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradeaspling_6 Aug 30, 2010 9:52 AM in response to MarkusAurelliusThis helped me, but in a simple and surprisingly way.
I have a 3GS 16GB and after upgrading to iOS4, Navigon just didn't get a GPS signal at all. It had worked like a dream before the upgrade. I was pretty surprised to find out that Location Services had been switched of for Navigon in the Settings. After turning it on it all worked again. This deactivation of Location Services must have occured during the upgrade. Hopefulle some of you can use the same solution.
39. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradewattajolt Aug 31, 2010 2:56 PM in response to IanB22My wife has a 3G w/iOS 4.0.2 and it works fine. I hadn't heard about the GPS issue so I went outside to try it. It works great! We are off a rural road in the sticks, her 3G showed my position within two feet. (Same on a Garmin Nuvi)
Oddly, her phone has not had any of the adverse issues I have read out here. No dropped calls, WiFi works fine, apps load and run smoothly and the GPS checks out.
Add the fact that some iPhone 4 users claim no problems, a mystery unfolds. Different factory's, or at least different assembly lines? Parts from different vendors? I suppose only Apple would know for sure.
My 3GS was fine until yesterday, it made two calls to two different contacts on its own -unless the new case?
40. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradeCockney Sep 4, 2010 5:24 AM in response to cjovejoSame problem using Golfshot GPS app on a 3G phone. Used to work fine. Upgraded to iOS4 and now it rarely gets a fix if ever. Having come to rely on GPS positioning for club selection this is having a pretty negative effect on my handicap. Sort it out Apple!

41. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradeRembert Oldenboom Sep 5, 2010 1:44 AM in response to CockneyAnyone tried the latest beta of iOS?
Anyway, next week we'll know if this issue got solved by Apple. Triangulation is not the navigation method I had in mind.
42. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradeIngepinge Sep 7, 2010 10:24 AM in response to aspling_6THANKS PAL!! Indeed, as you say... the upgrade turns of the locations services. You can put them back on in the settings. You're my hero
43. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgradeRembert Oldenboom Sep 9, 2010 12:46 PM in response to Rembert OldenboomOk, iOS 4.1 installed. Navigon starts very quickly (20 secs now). Problem is partly solved. About 1 out of 2 tries is going well and I can start navigating - the triangle (me) stays on a fixed position on the screen and the map moves. The other tries are exactly viceversa: the maps are fixed and the triangle (me) follows the road (the exact position) and then moves offscreen. That's no help.
So, there's improvement but we're not there yet.
44. Re: No GPS fix on iPhone 3G after iOS4 upgraderasselin Sep 9, 2010 1:39 PM in response to Rembert OldenboomSame here. Updated to 4.1 last night. Loading programs is much quicker than before (Navigon included), but I still can't get a good enough GPS fix for navigating, nor does my wi-fi work (I even tried hooking into a free wireless hotspot at the nearest coffee shop, but to no avail).

Welcome to "Hey, Mom and Dad"—a weekly feature in which we ask our Facebook fans to share their views on parenting. Every week, we get the conversation started by taking a look back at a question we asked parents the week before on Patch Facebook pages from around the area.
Facebook currently requires that users be 13 years or older to have an account. While some parents think even 13 is too young, the company has considered reducing age restrictions. But even under the existing set-up, it's easy for children to circumvent the current restrictions by being less-than-honest about their age.
That brings us to this week's question.
When should a child be allowed to start their own Facebook account?
Take a look at what people had to say and join the conversation in the comments section.
Ashlyn R. 10 but the parents should set it up with appropriate privacy settings and monitor it. It is a great way for family and friends to stay in touch. As they get older they can have more freedom. via Shorewood Patch
Lisa P. Both my kids got theirs as soon as they could (8th or 9th grade). I have total access to both accounts and they have to keep their walls free of bad language, inappropriate images and any talk of family business. Neither one is on a great deal (they're far too busy in "real" life), and so far have handled it beautifully. The girl is using her page as a portfolio site for her college apps, which I think is very cool. via Oswego Patch
Kevin S. I don't think the 13 and up rule works. My son is 12 and has an fb account. I wasn't really in favor of it, but only my wife and I know the password so he cannot log in on his own and gets very limited time on it. The computer is also in our kitchen so we know what he is doing at all times. via Plainfield Patch
Kelly Stare Guzniczak: My kiddo just turned 13 (today.) We are letting her get an account today. —via Geneva Patch

Social check-in service Foursquare will start displaying personalized coupons as a part of its application in July, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
When the start-up releases the next version of its mobile app, it will include functionality that displays promoted personalized local specials purchased by advertisers. For merchants, offering specials is free, but promoting them within the app will be a paid service. Users will be able to see all of the specials, but must check in to redeem them.
Last month, it was reported that Foursquare will launch an advertising platform in June that will allow merchants to promote their specials from within the application. This new version of the user software will apparently incorporate those promotions. The company says it has more than 750,000 businesses using its merchant platform.
Foursquare is working on collaborative filtering, so it will be able to recommend new venues to a user based on where they have been before, and where their friends have been. Foursquare co-founder and CEO Dennis Crowley tells the WSJ that results under the "Explore" tab will be customized to each individual, and will also take into account factors like the day of the week and the time of day the search is performed.
Foursquare claims more than 20 million users worldwide who, collectively, have performed more than 2 billion check-ins.

4L60E Transmission removal and overhaul
I have spent just over half a day trying to remove my tranny from my 99 Burban. I'm not using a trans jack or lift to take it out and all is going well, I have only 2 bolts left to remove from the top of the tranny, and have found that there is very little room to move in there. I was unable to remove the exhaust crossover on both sides today again due to lack of space. I will be investing in an extion bar, the longest I can find to get the exhaust apart.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to remove a 4L60E?
Is it better to remove the cross-member that holds up the back of the tranny?
If I allow the back of the tranny to drop, will it be easier to get at the 2 top bolts? Will it tilt too far and damage the fan or any other parts?
Any and all input is welcome. I have a 4 volume manual on the way plus an extra manual for the transmission, but it will be a few more days before they arrive and I need to get this job started.
I will post photos later if I can.
Fingers crossed!

My first question is are you using or going to be using a jack of some kind to help support the trans?
If you let the trans drop just a little it will make it a bit easier to get to the top bolts, if you have access to an impact wrench of some kind it will help to remove those bolts with a ling extension.
I hope this helps.
got it out with a modified trolly jack and aflat board i bolted to it. Once i removed the crossmember i was able to angle the trans and engine to gain better access
I now have an issue with the starter motor. Smoke came out about 3 kms after i started it up and checked everything.
i am at a loss as to why this happened. Any thoughts?

Show of hands, right now, who hated the first Ghost Rider? Not merely disliked. Hated.
Yep, me too. That atrocity followed the somehow-worse Wicker Man remake as the second volley in a series of "Nic Cage don't care 'bout his career no more" flicks that hurtled the respected thesp and part-time action hero down a path to ruin. He eventually bounced back with a handful of decent performances, and some genuinely fun genre flicks (including Drive Angry and Season of the Witch). For the record, this reviewer likes Cage quite a bit, even if I find some of his choices mind-boggling.
