Recommendations for dinner before a show at Queens College?
- 11
- Follow
Any thoughts about Korean, Japanese, Thai spots of interest within a ten minute drive?
re: wewwew
Theoretically, Pio Pio on Woodhaven Blvd is 10 minutes from Queens College.
The OP did not mention Chinese. If he did, I would recommend Mian (184-02 Horace Harding Expy) just a few minutes away. Great appetizers here (duck tacos and spicy chicken sliders). Inexpensive, too.
I don't have any specific recommendations for Korean, but a short drive up north to Northern Blvd will yield tons of Korean places. Many of them have been mentioned on this board.
re: Robotron
Pio Pio is a nice recommendation, but I see the theory/pratice shaky as my uncles' GTO is on jacks in the garage.
I know Chinese is not what you mention but there really aren't good Korean, Japanese, or Thai place close by.
Pado sushi is within a 10 minute drive from QC. It is great for lunch--they literally overload you with excellent panchan. At dinner, they are much less generous with the panchan but the a la carte dishes are decent but not amazing.
But the best places that are close to campus are the new crop of Chinese places on Main Street. My favorite is Kung Fu Xiao Long Bao. There was a recent thread on this. They make great soup dumplings and Shanghai style cold appetizers. Next door is Taiwain Imperial Gourmet. If you go, follow Lau's recommendation for dishes. Verging off may lead to lackluster experience.

Family Recipe: Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
My aunt is famous in my family for her carrot cake. This is partly due to the fact that she doesn't make it for just any old dinner or family gathering. It just magically shows up exactly when you need it. And with its tender cinnamon-scented crumb and thick layer of cream cheese frosting, yes, you definitely need it.
Far from being a secret, my aunt happily shared the recipe with me when I finally asked for it a while back. She admitted that she originally copied the recipe from a cookbook, though which exact one has long been forgotten. But she then went on to describe so many tweaks, adjustments, and variations that I'm convinced this is now solely her own.
In turn, I have made my own tweaks and adjustments. My aunt prefers a layered round cake; I like a sheet cake. My aunt adds nuts and raisins; I'll make mine with the carrots alone. My aunt uses a cooked frosting of cream, sugar, and cream cheese; I keep it simple with a basic cream cheese frosting.
But the base recipe remains my aunt's, and it surpasses all other carrot cakes I've ever had the pleasure of sampling.
2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup (6 ounces) canola oil
1 cup (8 ounces) granulated sugar
4 cups grated carrots (a little less than 2 pounds of whole carrots)
1 batch Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe below)
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, powder, soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the vanilla. Set both aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the oil and sugar in a mixer or by hand until they reach a uniform consistency. With the mixer on low, beat 1/3 of the flour. Next, add 1/3 of the eggs. Continue adding the flour and eggs in alternating additions. Stop mixing when the last of the flour is just barely incorporated. Fold the carrots into the batter with a spatula, working slowly and gently until the carrots are distributed and no more dry flour remains.
Pour the batter into the baking dish and tap the dish a few times against the counter to work out the air bubbles. Bake for 45-50 minutes, rotating once during baking. The finished cake should be slightly puffed in the middle and browned on the edges. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting, about one hour, or wait to frost until the next day. Leftover cake can be kept, covered, at room temperature for several days. You can also wrap the unfrosted cake in aluminum foil and freeze it for up to 3 months.
Cream Cheese Frosting
Adapted from Faith Durand's recipe
1/4 cup (2 oz) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioner's sugar
pinch of salt
Beat together the butter and cream cheese. Slowly beat in the vanilla, confectioner's sugar, and salt. Increase to high speed once the frosting starts to come together into lumps. Beat until creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

White River Capital, Inc. Announces Results For Third Quarter 2012
White River Capital, Inc. (NYSE MKT: RVR) ("White River") today announced net income for the third quarter 2012 of $2.5 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to third quarter 2011 net income of $2.9 million, or $0.79 per diluted share. The net income results for the third quarter of 2012 are due to the following:
- $4.2 million of earnings from operations contributed by the Coastal Credit LLC ("Coastal Credit") subsidiary, and
- $0.5 million of operating expenses at the holding company, and income tax expense of $1.2 million.
Martin Szumski, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Coastal Credit's 30+ day delinquency was 3.2% at September 30, 2012 compared to 2.0% at December 31, 2011. Coastal Credit's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of finance receivables, net of unearned finance charges was 5.14% at September 30, 2012 compared to 5.68% at December 31, 2011. With the recent personnel reductions by the U.S. military, which are limiting reenlistments, individuals are being released into a civilian job market that, while improving, is still experiencing high unemployment. These reductions by the U.S. military had been anticipated and the results of the reductions are now contributing to the recent increase in charge-offs and delinquencies. Once the U.S. military reaches its personnel targets, we expect delinquency and charge-offs to return to normalized levels."
Mr. Szumski continued, "During the challenging economic conditions of the past four years, we have worked diligently to operate at delinquency and charge-offs well below normal sub-prime lenders. We were successful in doing so while still generating strong growth. We have found that it is now increasingly difficult to meet both objectives as the economy improves and competition has intensified. As such, we have made the decision to allow charge-offs and delinquency to move toward levels consistent with this business sector. This action is expected to improve our ability to grow more in line with that which was achieved over the past several years. We have begun to reduce the allowance for loan losses to reflect the overall improvements in the U.S. economy as seen by the recent reductions in unemployment and the strengthening in the housing market. Even with the reduction in the allowance for loan losses, these reserves continue to exceed the annualized net charge-offs incurred reflecting a cautious outlook on the economy and the increased competition in this sector."

Even though Palm OS is not mainly a multitasking system, you definitely experienced the situations when, for example, reminders pop up to inform you about meetings, or an SMS message was just received, and so forth. Palm OS provides several managers that may be used together, to get full control over notifying the user about various events occurring in the system. Again, under term "event" I mean everything that needs a user's attention. So, coming back to formal definitions, Palm OS has Notification Manager, Attention Manager, and Alarm Manager. Notifications were discussed in previous articles, so here we will deal with Attentions. Attention Manager is a mechanism by which your application can buzz the user if it has something to tell him. If, for instance, you develop a driver, you can interact with the user from the driver's callback functions if needed. Besides, some applications work with communication devices that have no user interface, so Attention Manager features is a way to go. It is important to notice that Attention Manager itself is responsible only for interactions with user rather than events generation. Hence, it is usually used in conjunction with other managers (like Alarm Manager) to perform desired functionality. Alarm Manager handles real-time monitoring to detect when some point in time was reached. It can be used to perform periodic tasks or show alarms at the appropriate time. In the last case, an application is responsible for providing any required user interface because Alarm Manager doesn't have one on its own. The same is correct for sounds and other effects. You also may use Attention Manager to signal to the user about an event that occurred. In the following sections, you will see how to use both managers in more detail. To get started, let us take a look at different types of attention-getting attempts. The Palm documentation defines two of them: "insistent" and "subtle." They are actually the same, but differ in the manner of "irritation" the user experiences in each case. Insistent attempts interrupt the regular working flowby producing special effects to gain your attention. Subtle attempts behave like an additional indicator on the screen to inform you about less-critical eventsincoming e-mail or an SMS message. This type of attempts doesn't usually use any special effects. Let me briefly overview each type of Attention. As was stated, an Insistent attention tries to catch the user's eye, so Attention Manager displays a dialog. You may find two types of them: Details and List. Areas within red rectangles are drawn by the application that performs this attempt. Attention Manager will provide just a dialog box and draw a title and buttons. The function of all buttons on forms is intuitively clear from their titles. The user can accept, snooze, clear, or go to an attention item. All the rest is up to you. It will take you only a few minutes playing around with such alerts to understand all the available options. The first picture shows an alert set to be risen at specified time. The second one illustrates the situation when several events have occurred, and now there is a list of them. To reach the details of each event, simply tap it. When may this happen? For example, when another application tries to get the user's attention. Here, your program is able to paint an icon and couple of text lines. Please note that the checkbox is provided by Attention Manager. Events that were snoozed will be redisplayed again after some time. Attention Manager has the only "snooze" timer, so if you select this option, it will influence all events as a whole. Also, to ensure that the user will pay attention to the displayed dialog, any soft- and hardware buttons are disables at that moment. Another type of attention attempt is subtle one. You can see an example in the following picture: Every standard form with a title will show a blinking indicator (I've marked it by red color), except in the following cases: Besides, the indicator will blink in a different manner depending on whether the user has seen all notifications or not. The Attention Manager was designed for specific usage. Its intended goal is to provide a mechanism for gaining the user's attention in cases that don't require immediate reaction. You can treat it as some convenient way to remind or inform the user about important but suspendable events. For emergency cases, it is not a way to go. Next, Attention Manager doesn't deal with displayed items themselves, so dismissing the reminder doesn't influence actual data. Attention Manager should not replace regular error messages that are displaying. Thus, use it as it was supposed to be. Now, having all this theory in mind, you are ready to code some meaningful example. First of all, look at the available Attention Manager's functions: As you see, there are quite a few functions. Your interest will be focused on the first two functions; these allow you to generate and update an Attention attempt. They both have similar parameters, and the first three uniquely identify the attention attempt. Let me briefly discuss the rest of the parameters. AttnCallbackProc *callbackFnP is a pointer to the callback function that is called by Attention Manager in response to various user reactions or when an attention item is to be redrawn. If this parameter is NULL, Attention Manager will send a sysAppLaunchCmdAttention launch code to your application instead of calling a callback function. AttnLevelType level allows you to select either an kAttnLevelInsistent or kAttnLevelSubtle attempt type. AttnFlagsType flags tell Attention Manager which effects to apply for a given item. You can use sound, LED blinking, vibration, or some custom effects. These flags also command the Attention Manager how to relate to the default behavior defined in the general user's preferences. And finally, the last two parameters control nagging stuff. AttnUpdate, in addition to AttnGetAttention, allows you to update an existing attention item; for example, you can assess a new callback procedure or change all other parameters. A decision of which 'notification' method (callback or launch code) to choose for specific situation highly depends on a structure of your application. For relatively small programs, it doesn't matter at all; but for large projects, the callback funtion may cause some problems. The matter is that you have to be sure that at the moment Attention Manager calls your callback this particular code segment is still available; in other words, located at the same memory address or was not deleted. The launch codes mechanism usually doesn't result in such scenarios. Before you glance at the code sample, let me note a couple of simple functions: AttnForgetIt and AttnIterate. The first one is used to inform Attention Manager that a given item is no longer relevant, so Attention Manager may forget about it. Usually, you will call it in response to a "Go To" button presswhen a user has decided to look into your attention item. AttnIterate causes the Attention Manager to call a callback routine or send a launch code for every pending item that matches a given cardNo and dbID. Such iteration may be required, for instance, after a HotSync session and so forth to update pending attentions. Well, let me start with samples. First, the Attention callback function is listed below: This callback receives full info about what Attention Manager wants from the recent attention item and acts accordingly. It means that the callback knows what a command is, what the drawing area is, and so forth. Actually, the same function is called from the launch code handler. The next code snippets illustrates a usage of different API to get user's attention, update pending items, and so forth: For simplicity, all these functions increase userData parameter at every call. In real situation you can apply your own logic here. Let me discuss one scenario when you might want to dismiss the Attention Manager dialog completely. This is not so rare a case as you might think. Suppose that you handle extansion cards' insertion or removal or any hardware events that may occur while the Attention Manager dialog is open for some reason. In response to such incoming notifications, you can call the AttnForgetIt function to get rid of some pending attention items. The problem is that the whole dialog will remain on the screen regardless of how many items are left there. So, in the worst case, Attention Manager's dialog will be empty. Naturally, you would like to close it somehow. The simplest way to do it is to simulate a button tap on this dialog so that FrmDoDialog will exit: As I have noted above, you can request some special effects upon generating an attention item; for example, LED blinking, vibration, playing a sound, or any other custom effect. A good practice is to verify whether the PDA has desired capabilities, for instance as follows: If you have a requested sound effect, Attention Manager will send a kAttnCommandPlaySound command. Your application, in turn, may the play sound based either on user's preferences or its own using Sound Manager; say, calling SndPlaySystemSound as a simplest example. If you have specified a kAttnFlagsAlwaysCustomEffect flag, you'll be able to surprise the user by producing something gorgeous in response to a kAttnCommandCustomEffect command. Anyway, in both cases, the system doesn't inform you which sound to play or what is a special effect. You have to store it in the application's preferences or hardcode it. Download the accompanying code's zip file here. Alex Gusev started to play with mainframes at the end of the 1980s, using Pascal and REXX, but soon switched to C/C++ and Java on different platforms. When mobile PDAs seriously rose their heads in the IT market, Alex did it too. Now, he works at an international retail software company as a team leader of the Mobile R department, making programmers' lives in the mobile jungles a little bit simpler.

As it states I have been chasing a brake squeal. It only happens on the initial start going in reverse te first time I drive it after sitting over night. At slow speeds as by the time I hit the bottom of the driveway it stops, almost like its rubbing some sort of film off the rotors. At first I thought it may be the light rust, but I've checked and they seem clean every time. It stops as soon as I get going to speed and never does it again , but it's horribly loud while I back down my driveway and have been trying to figure it out. Anyone experience this? Any fixes, I'm stumped. It did it with my old pads and rotors and now does it with my new pads and rotors.
Note: my friend and I have been argueing about where the taddle tales go on the pads so far as inboard bottom or outboard btm outboard top etc? What's the correct placement for te taddle tales?

The pussy riot girls committed an offence without any doubt whatsoever and caused an offence. And they were sentenced according to law and did not even got the maximum possible sentence. In this case dura lex sed lex, actually on a softer side what it could have been. If someone makes a stand breaking the law, s/he should take into account that s/he would be sentenced according to law.
We can debate the law in Russia what it should be in this case but it is not and The Economist did not protest about this law before (that it was too harsh). And maybe these pussy riot girls should be dealt with more leniency. Maybe... But maybe they will get a clemency from Putin later:-) Quite possible. Anyway what they sang was quite unsavory insulting to people of all faith. E.g.
Shit, shit, the Lord's shit!
Shit, shit, the Lord's shit!
Sorry, the commentary by The Economist sounds rather naive.

The hallmark of type 2 diabetes, the most common metabolic disorder, is a defect in insulin-stimulated glucose transport in peripheral tissues. Although a role for phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) activity in insulin-stimulated glucose transport and glucose transporter isoform 4 (Glut4) translocation has been suggested in vitro, its role in vivo and the molecular link between activation of PI3K and translocation has not yet been elucidated. To determine the role of PI3K in glucose homeostasis, we generated mice with a targeted disruption of the gene encoding the p85alpha regulatory subunit of PI3K (Pik3r1; refs 3-5). Pik3r1-/- mice showed increased insulin sensitivity and hypoglycaemia due to increased glucose transport in skeletal muscle and adipocytes. Insulin-stimulated PI3K activity associated with insulin receptor substrates (IRSs) was mediated via full-length p85 alpha in wild-type mice, but via the p50 alpha alternative splicing isoform of the same gene in Pik3r1-/- mice. This isoform switch was associated with an increase in insulin-induced generation of phosphatidylinositol(3,4,5)triphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) in Pik3r1-/- adipocytes and facilitation of Glut4 translocation from the low-density microsome (LDM) fraction to the plasma membrane (PM). This mechanism seems to be responsible for the phenotype of Pik3r1-/- mice, namely increased glucose transport and hypoglycaemia. Our work provides the first direct evidence that PI3K and its regulatory subunit have a role in glucose homeostasis in vivo.

Shazam Encore
500,000 - 1,000,000 downloads
- Spotify and Pandora Radio integration
- Cool Screen widget
- Sharing options (Facebook and Twitter)
- Search accuracy
- Public-based database (you could find mistakes or don't find the song)
- Bit expensive paid version
+ By Shazam Entertainment Limited
Shazam is a song catcher, the easiest way to discover more about mus
Its operation is quite simple: just tap on the central button of the app and hold your phone to identify the track. It will bring you some information: album, title, artist, videos, lyrics, and more. It has to be said though that not all this info is available for all the songs. Since Shazam databased is public-based, the availability depends on the users' willing to upload it. And maybe that's its main flaw. Despite of that the amount of info about thousands of songs is just enviable.
Once Shazam identifies the song your will be able to buy the track on Amazon. What's more, you will be able to tag songs without data coverage. You can also check out your friends tagged music and add tracks straight to your own Tag List. Sharing tags with friends is simple because it's integrated with Facebook and Twitter. Shazam screen widget allows you to tag easily from your phone desktop. Finally, keep yourself up-to-date thanks to Shazam app where you will find some info about tour dates for your tagged artist and buy concerts tickets from there.
This is the paid version Shazam Encore (£2.99), that includes unlimited tagging and exclusive features like integration with Spotify and Pandora Radio. The free version is unlimited tagging just until Jan 1st 2012.
Shazam has been developed by Shazam Entertainment Limited. This is the only app that they've launched in the market but they've reached a great success in the most of mobile platforms.
Shazam is one of those app that you won't probably use everyday. However, you really appreciate to have it installed in your phone when it helps you to discover new songs and artist. We sincerely recommend it.
Once you Shazam music, you can easily:
• Preview and buy tracks on Amazon or Google Play
• Sing along to the beat with real time lyrics
• Share your discoveries on any social network
• Watch music videos on YouTube
• Listen to full tracks with Rdio, Spotify or Deezer
• Connect to Rdio to create a playlist of your Shazamed tracks, or add tracks to any Rdio playlist
• See song recommendations from others like you
You can also use Shazam with TV:
• Shazam your favorite TV shows for the cast, soundtracks, and more
• Shazam ads to watch again, share with friends, or get special offers
Want even more?
• Go to shazam.com/myshazam to see your entire Shazam history; sign in to Facebook to get started
• Check out News to discover great new videos, updates and more, from artists and TV shows
you've Shazamed; plus see what your friends are Shazaming

Why does Shazam need these app permissions? https://support.shazam.com/entries/29632198
• It's easier than ever to connect to Spotify or Rdio - tap 'Play All' on any list of songs or go to Settings. You can then listen to full tracks and rate them with the player.
• Once you've connected, all your Shazams will be saved to a 'My Shazam Tracks' playlist in Spotify or Rdio. We've fixed a few issues so this should now be running smoothly.

Arsenal have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper David Ospina from Nice on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.
The 25-year-old starred at the World Cup with Colombia, helping his country to the quarter-finals in Brazil where they lost out to the hosts.
He made 189 Ligue 1 appearances during a six-year spell with Nice, where he was sent off on four occasions.
Ospina was a 17-year-old when he made his professional debut for Atletico Nacional in Colombia and he has won 44 caps for his country.
Arsenal are believed to have just over £3million for his services and boss Arsene Wenger said: "David Ospina is an excellent goalkeeper, with good experience and a proven record of performing with Nice and Colombia.
"He will add strength to our squad and we are very pleased that he will be joining us."
On Saturday night, Nice coach Claude Puel confirmed the deal and assured Arsenal fans they could expect some 'quality' from the new arrival.
He told Sky Sports News: "It's a good affair for Arsenal because he's a very good player. You will see next season the quality of this player.
"It's fantastic for him. It's important for him to try another league, another club and Arsenal is a fantastic club for him. You saw in the World Cup how important a goalkeeper he is."

Here in 2 days This is a heavier round than most and with the soft point lead it is a great deal for deer season. You may need to re zero your scope at longer ranges but a heavier round means more foot pounds of smack down with every shot. These are not reloadable but at this price who cares.Date published: 2014-11-04Rated 4 out of 5 by arny769 from Great price and great round! Shot over 800 rounds through my Sig and not one glitch. Happy plinking!Date published: 2014-10-29Rated 2 out of 5 by 1592jff from Great price, but primers were unreliable for me. It seemed like every 1 in 10 rounds or thereabouts was not firing. Feeding it back into the gun a second time would allow it to fire. I suppose this is fine for practice ammo.Date published: 2014-10-24Rated 5 out of 5 by ALFRED from I have purchased "Brown Bear" exclusivly because IMHO its one of the best rounds for the money you can buy!!

I would like to set minimum $ order for 1 purchase regardless of how many products the customer want to buy. For example 10$ per 1 order with free shipping.
I tried to do it inside admin but I couldn't. Do I need an add-on or do I need to hardcode a file?

In respect of that character and the great artistic and emotional aspect of that game, I WON'T do an adult piece of her. She's a beautiful character, and by far the best female representation i have ever seen in a game. Feminine and sweet without being fragile. A really strong portrait of a real woman. And for that matter she deserves to be treated as is.
Don't get me wrong, she's sexy enough to earn a great adult piece of art, but that wouldn't fit her at all, and i wouldn't feel right doing it. I would hate stepping out of a character's personality just for the sake of porn.
Romulo "Melkor" Mancin
Edit: Yeah, it's a personal issue to me. The characters i made in the past like Final Fantasy, Tenchi Muyo etc, are characters i don't really know nothing about.

Competition for Kentucky's next QB takes back seat after arrests
Updated: July 28, 2008, 6:15 PM ET
Associated Press
Rich Brooks has spent the last eight months deflecting countless questions about who will replace Andre Woodson at quarterback for Kentucky this season.
A week before camp begins, figuring out who will be under center when the Wildcats face Louisville on Aug. 31 is the least of the Kentucky coach's problems.
The arrests of quarterbacks Curtis Pulley and Will Fidler in separate incidents last week have taken the focus off what could have been a heated competition with Mike Hartline ...

scholarship USA/Canada
I have a important question for you guys.
I'm dutch, okay. What I'd like to know is, can I get a scholarship in the States or Canada?
and offcourse where can I look up stuff like that?
I'm really looking around for a collage outside of Holland, cause to be honest...
we suck, big time. But without the scholarship I don't think I'll make it to study there.
So if you can help me, I will thank you all SOOO much

well as an international student you wont have access to government aid, and probably wont have access to alot of other ones. Scholarships based on performance may be an option. I reall dont know. Start doing research on various scholarships and organizations that provide them, who knows there may be one for dutch nationals studying art abroad. You really need to research that on your own i doubt anyone will be able to tell you. Google, and start making phonecalls.
August 8th, 2006 #4I really don't know much about the states educational system but Canada I could help out with. Though when you say college is a bit confusing cause in Quebec I think of Cegep as College - so im assuming its university? Getting your bachlors etc..
To get into University in Ontario schools you would need the equivalent of there grade 12 - after which you can apply to any university of your liking there as an international student.
In Quebec it's a little more complicated because of language issues, i think you may have to take a french and english writing exam before getting in. (Ontario would just be english I believe). Unless you plan on going to a french university in Montreal then you'd have to be fluent in it.
Thats sort of a broad classification of how to get in, it all varies according to which program you want to go into and what prerequisites you need for them.
Once that's figured out then you can apply for scholarship - they all have scholarships you just need to find one that would apply for you.
I've rambled on for a while now but your best bet to figure that stuff out is to look at the university websites, most of them will have tons of information on scholarships and things you need to prepare as an international student aswell as phone number or email if you have questions.
Here's a list of all the canadian universities
Click on the one of your choice and it'll direct you to the website - take out teh /canu/ and you can start with Univeristy of Waterloo heh.
August 8th, 2006 #5Try contacting IBG-Groep. There are several options to study abroad. Most dutch uni's and hbo's also offer the possibility to take an internship abroad or even study abroad for a couple of years in some exchangeprograms. You can also contact the uni's cos of that, most of the time they have some funds for that, but you'll still be studying at their courses and get a degree that says you graduated in the Netherlands.
Also check belastingdienst. They might be nice and give you some discounts if you're abroad. A good one is also the ministeries of foreign affairs (click here), they usually have a special page online for this, as there are many people interested in studying abroad. Might wanna check the site of the specific country too, usually they have the same thing.
Good luck looking. Hope this helped. (googlen moet je verder zelf doen, maar deze instanties hebben meestal wel info.)
August 8th, 2006 #6hmmmm well here in germany there are plenty of institutions who sponsor schollarships ONLY for the students who want to study in a foreign country, so it's pretty much like: "study in the states or you won't get our schollarship!!" . IMO it would be really strange if there weren't any institutions in the netherlands wich offer something like that. Just keep on searching, google is with you, young Jedi

About Our New Disclosure Policy
Posted by Zachary Knight in Shameless Plug on October 14, 2014
So there has been a hullabaloo recently surrounding a movement called GamerGate. This is a loosely (and I mean that in the most literal terms) knit group of gamers and advocates for journalistic integrity and ethics. At least that is the jist of what they want to be known for. I will talk more about it in a later post, but that is sufficient introduction for now.
As a result of some conversations I have had with GamerGate supporters, I decided that I wanted to make a clear statement on what my disclosure policies are in regards to my reporting here and other game sites I own. I am still bound by disclosure policies for sites I write for but do not own and those policies may be different than here. So I wanted to go through each point of my disclosure policy one by one and explain a bit about it. These disclosure policy statements can be found under the About tab in our menu.
Unless otherwise stated, all games reviewed on our site were purchased with our own money or reviewed based on legally and freely available version/demo.
For some reason, a couple of people I talked with are under the belief that reviewing a game that I actually bought is somehow ethically compromised. I have no clue where these people are coming from. It really makes no sense. I would think that people seeking journalistic integrity would much prefer journalists and reviewers to buy the games rather than have them given to them by the developer or publisher.
However, I am more likely to buy a game than have one given to me, so I tend to do the former when I review one. However, I also do a lot of Ouya reviews and games there will often have a free trial or demo version available and those are what I base my reviews on. So most of the time, I have either bought the game myself or played a free demo prior to writing my review.
If on the off chance a developer does give me a free copy of the game I end up reviewing, I will absolutely disclose that fact. I will also disclose any stipulations or provisions the developer/publisher requires me to agree to, if I actually agree and end up reviewing the game. If I am feeling unusually unhappy with the terms, I will simply write about said terms rather than review the game.
We support Kickstarter and other crowdfunding campaigns we are passionate about. We treat this just as we do with games we have purchased.
Just as the above says, I treat crowdfunding the same way I do buying a game. If I see a Kickstarter, Patreon, IndieGogo or other campaign I like, I will most likely back it. If I really like it, I will share it on Facebook and Twitter. If I really really like it, I will write about here or on another blog. I think that is hugely important. Most of the time, I will state whether I backed the project or not, but I never feel compelled to do so.
I was again told that reporting on a crowdfunding campaign that I backed makes me ethically compromised. I don't see how. If it is fine for me to share that news on Facebook and Twitter, why is it not ok to share that same news on this site?
I was also told that it is not so much that I backed the campaign but that I might have backed it for too much money. Take for instance a campaign that allows a backer to create and item or monster for use in the game if that backer pledges a certain amount. I am told that I could be ethically compromised because I now have a stake in the final outcome of the project. Sure, I guess I do, but I don't have a financial stake in the outcome. The only stake I actually have is whether I get to make my object or not. I don't get royalties or payment myself, just a neat feeling for having contributed.
So no, I don't feel the need to disclose whether I have backed a crowdfunding campaign or not.
At Random Tower, we pride ourselves on our ability to connect with people in the industry. We believe that this is a healthy way to learn of new and interesting developments in the games industry. As such, we do not feel the need to disclose those relationships unless absolutely necessary.
Once again, some people feel that knowing people in the industry is the same thing as being vested in that person. Meaning, that if I report on someone I know personally at some level, I am ethically compromised. This, again, does not make much sense.
How exactly is one supposed to make it as a journalist without making friends and connections in the games industry? Are we just supposed to work from PR statements and what other people are writing about on the internet? That seems like a crappy way to do business.
As such, I don't feel the need to disclose every relationship I have with people in the games industry. It should be a given. If, on some occasions, I report on a person who has benefited me in some recognizable way, such as someone donating to my site or flying me to Washinton D.C., then sure, I will disclose that fact.
Which leads me to my next point.
There are times when a game developer or other person in the industry we report on has financially or in some other way materially supported us. We will disclose those instances for a time frame of one (1) year after the last such show of support.
This will always be disclosed. I have no problem with disclosing such. Someone gives me money, I will tell you why and for how much. If someone buys or gives me something, I will tell you why and what it was.
However, I believe that there is a statute of limitations on this and feel that one(1) year following the last such material gift to be more than sufficient. Once that year is up, I do not feel the need to continue to disclose that fact. It should be well known by then.
We use a third party advertising partner. As such, we have limited control over the ads that appear on our site. We do have some control and if we feel a particular ad interferes with our ability to properly report on the industry, we will try to remove those ads.
Advertising is a tricky business. Without it, most sites you read on the internet would not exist. So it becomes a necessary evil. As such I do what I can to mitigate the impact it has on my reporting.
As such, I am currently using a third party advertising partner. However, I have limited control over the ads that show up. If an ad shows up that corresponds to a game or person I am writing about, I don't have any control as that ad showed up under a deal between the company placing the ad and the third party ad provider I use.
If there is some occasion where that could be seen as a conflict of interest, for example the ad showing up for an extended period of time, thus appearing to be an endorsement, then I would be open to disclosing that, but for a brief time during the time the ad actually shows.
None of this applies to a time in the future when I might be large enough to have direct advertising deals with game developers and publishers. At such a time, I would more than be happy to disclose the nature of the agreement when reporting on said company.
Random Tower is a subsidiary of Divine Knight Gaming. Our Chief Editor, E. Zachary Knight, is also the Lead Developer/Co-owner of Divine Knight. Any article about Divine Knight or one of its games or subsidiaries will always include a disclaimer stating that fact.
Yes, I own this site, other sites, and an indie game development studio. As such, anytime I write about my game development work or work on another Divine Knight owned site, I will disclose that fact. I have no problem with it.
Alright. I hope that helps you understand where I am coming from here. I want to be open and honest with my readers, but I also want to make sure I stay sane. Trying to keep up with the journalistic integrity kerfuffle of the week and complying with that will drive me completely insane as I feel many don't make sense or are contradictory to other supposed requirements.
I will guarantee that I will continue to abide by the above disclosure requirements and any new ones I come up with that I feel need to be followed.

Super Podcast Action Committee Episodes 9-11
Posted by Zachary Knight in Game News, Shameless Plug on July 18, 2012
So I am falling behind on these, again. However, there are only three episodes to post about. So that's better than the nine from last time. So without further ado, here are episodes 9 through 11 of the Super Podcast Action Committee:
Episode 9
Note: I was absent from this one. Sorry.
We dedicate Episode 9 of the Super Podcast Action Committee to Independence Day! This week James and Andrew decide to bitch and moan about Battlefield 3, LEGO Batman 2, and some other topics that rub them the wrong way. We also spend a little bit of time talking about the ECA'sDeclaration of Internet Freedom. This episode contains naughty language, which we apologize for in advance. Download Episode 9 it here: SuperPAC Episode 9 (1 Hour, 2 Minutes).
Episode 10
We hit a milestone this week – our 10th episode of the show! This week Andrew and Zachary talk about patent wars, the European Court's ruling that digital games can be resold, the controversy over Blizzard banning some Linux-using Diablo III players, and a whole lot of other interesting topics. Download Episode 10 here: SuperPAC Episode 10 (1 Hour, 3 Minutes).
Episode 11
Admittedly, Episode 11 of the Super Podcast Action Committee is late – and due to a software upgrade gone awry – it's shorter than usual too. Despite the setbacks and the poor audio quality the show must go on and go on it does for 32 minutes before E. Zachary Knight is unceremoniously cut off by the evil program known as Pamela. We do manage to reveal the results of last week's GamePolitics poll about the OUYA and spend a fair bit of time talking about why the Android-powered home console that has managed to raise $5 million on Kickstarter so far may drive big console makers mad… Download Episode 11 here: SuperPAC Episode 11 (32 Minutes).

Cleveland St. Vikings (21-10)
@Butler Bulldogs (25-4)
Saturday, February 28
Hinkle Fieldhouse
Attendance: None
Cleveland St.
Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Willie Veasley scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds, and the 24th-ranked Butler Bulldogs secured their third consecutive regular season Horizon League title with a 58-56 victory over the Cleveland State Vikings.
Matt Howard added 12 points for the Bulldogs (25-4, 15-3 HL), who have secured the top seed in the Horizon League Tournament, meaning Butler will advance to the semifinals next Saturday and will have home-court advantage throughout. Ronald Nored contributed 11 points in the victory.
Norris Cole tallied a game-high 17 points for the Vikings (21-10, 12-6), who had won eight straight conference games. J'Nathan Bullock provided 13 points and eight rebounds, while Cedric Jackson had 11 points in the loss.
Down by six at halftime, Cleveland State made it a four-point contest several times in the early portion of the second half, but six straight points from Butler made it 48-38 with 11:42 to play.
The Vikings went almost six minutes without a field goal before three consecutive three-pointers -- two from Jackson and one from Bullock -- brought the visitors to within 50-49 with 7 1/2 minutes left.
After Veasley missed a pair of free throws and a three-point attempt, Cleveland State took its first lead of the second half on Trevon Harmon's layup two minutes later.
Jackson capped the 12-0 run with a free throw, but Gordon Hayward's dunk for Butler promptly tied the game at 52.
George Tandy hit a layup with just over two minutes left to put the Vikings ahead by a pair, and Hayward connected on only 1-of-2 from the line with 1:38 left for Butler, making it a 56-55 game.
After a Bulldogs steal on the ensuing possession, Veasley missed a three-point attempt, but Nored was right there for an offensive rebound and layup, giving the hosts a 57-56 edge with 53 seconds to go.
Bullock was off on a baseline jumper at the other end, and Nored made only 1- of-2 from the line with 16.7 seconds left to give Butler a two-point lead.
Cole tried to win the game for the Vikings, but his three-point attempt drew only air, and Butler held on in the final seconds for the regular season conference championship.
Butler scored the first five points of the contest, but a 9-0 Cleveland State run put the Vikings ahead, 17-12, six minutes into the game. Jackson led the burst with four points.
The Bulldogs answered with a 13-2 spurt, with Veasley contributing four points. Howard's layup with almost 10 minutes left put the hosts ahead by five. Butler extended its lead to 11, 36-25, on the heels of a 9-0 run and held a 38-32 advantage at halftime.

Linux on a Small Satellite
The core Copperfield-2 payload processor provides two key functions for the mission. First, it is a sensor system that receives sensed data, processes the data and interacts with onboard communications equipment to transmit the results to other sensors and ground stations. Secondly, it serves as a general-purpose computer system that provides the infrastructure for storage and data handling. In fact, multiple general-purpose processors are part of the Copperfield-2 payload, each communicating by way of an Ethernet network. A COTS Ethernet switch serves as the center of the star Ethernet architecture.
Table 1. TacSat-1 Copperfield-2 Ethernet-Connected Embedded Systems
Component | Vendor | OS | Processor |
High-Speed Interface (HSI) | Bright Star Engineering (custom adapter board) | Linux 2.4 custom distribution | PowerPC MPC823 |
IDM UHF Modem | Innovative Concepts | Proprietary | PowerPC 860 |
Copperfield-2 MR.DIG Card | Aeronix/NRL | Linux 2.4 custom distribution (DENX ELDK-based) | PowerPC PowerQuicc II 8260 |
RF Front End Controller | Bright Star Engineering (custom adapter board) | Linux 2.4 custom distribution | StrongARM SA1110 |
To capitalize on the Ethernet, TCP/IP, standards-based architecture of the UAV payload while remaining compatible with the satellite bus' legacy OX.25 interfaces—which provide a means for downlinking science data and state-of-health telemetry—a different embedded computer module was designed specifically to serve as the bridge. This module is called the high-speed interface (HSI) and provides a 2MB synchronous serial bus connected to the spacecraft communication controller. The HSI hardware is implemented as a combination of FPGA hardware and a BSE ipEngine general-purpose PowerPC 823 embedded processor.
In the HSI, the FPGA provides the hardware necessary to meet timing requirements for the data link, decoupling the processor from the synchronous data link. The PowerPC runs a Linux 2.4-based kernel, and the HSI FPGA interface is implemented as a standard Linux device driver. No special real-time extensions are used, and a Linux-based application provides the interface between the TCP/IP networking stack, using standard protocols and the device driver implementation. The HSI system allows multiple processes and Ethernet-connected computers to access the data stream sent to the spacecraft. The PowerPC communications controller on the Copperfield-2 processor easily could have handled the HSI tasks on TacSat-1. However, due to the extremely limited availability of hardware and the desire to increase parallel development opportunities, this interface was developed independently.
The most "custom" part in any satellite program often is the payload control software. Because many of the Copperfield-2 payload components with processors run Linux, interesting software options are available. Much of the payload software was implemented as bash (Bourne again shell) scripts. During the rapid development of the payload software, the philosophy was to attempt to divide the software development into two parts, custom and reused software modules. This philosophy called for minimizing custom code to limited functions and programs with specific purposes. Occasionally, we did find that existing utilities did not quite fit the requirements, and these were modified or replacements were written.
These specific custom programs and drivers allowed for control of payload elements through small command-line utilities that could be tested completely and easily in their limited functionality. These programs were developed with the UNIX command-line functionality in mind, along with data input through standard in (STDIN) and data output through standard out (STDOUT). Developing software utilities with interfaces such as these in mind has been the standard for many legacy operating system concepts from the earliest UNIX developments. We intended to continue that strategy and build upon it, as it provides an amazingly flexible way of constructing thorough capabilities with simple although powerful utilities.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
