Summary: We chat with Telltale Games's Dan Conners about the upcoming second chapter in their episodic comic book based humor adventure game.
FiringSquad: First was Telltale Games pleased with how the first Bone game "chapter" turned out in terms of the game itself as well as sales? Dan Conners: Ultimately, I'm very proud of Bone: Out from Boneville because it succeeded in pushing the envelope in critical ways, including character acting, interactive story telling, and accessibility to a broader market. None of these are trivial accomplishments. That said, we don't feel like Out from Boneville is the best we can do. It's our very first title and the beginning of an evolving process. The Great Cow Race will allow us to quickly improve upon the experience. That's part of the master plan. From a sales standpoint, it has performed to our expectations. We expect sales to continue with each new release. [image]
FiringSquad: The second game episode of course had to be about The Great Cow Race, which really made the Bone comic stand out among the rest of independent comics. How intimidating was it to adapt a well known and loved comic book storyline? Dan Conners: I would call it more inspirational than intimidating. The team has experience working with the material of many great storytellers (George Lucas, Tim Schafer, Steve Purcell) and executing their visions; it's one of our specialties. In the case of the Cow Race, there's a very cool merger of Jeff's original story and Dave Grossman's seasoned game development experience. The elements we've added to embellish the story and enhance gameplay are hilarious and fit neatly into the main story. Also, as a book, The Great Cow Race is really where the Bone story starts to take off. I think the Cow Race game will put Out from Boneville into perspective for a lot gamers who aren't familiar with the books. One cool thing about being responsible for creating the interactive version of The Great Cow Race is that we're bringing the characters and the story to life for Bone fans for the very first time. If this were a movie, fans would inevitably get that feeling of "the book was much better," but in the game world you can maintain the integrity of the story and bring more depth to it. [image]
FiringSquad: How much input did Jeff Smith give to The Great Cow Race? Dan Conners: Jeff has final approval on everything, so obviously he is looped in very tightly. There were a couple of gags that we initially left out of the production because we didn't feel they would read very well, but Jeff really wanted them to stay. These turned out to be a couple of the funniest bits in the game. [image]
Dan Conners: The cow race was a huge challenge since so many expectations come with it, but I think we nailed it. It was very important to us that this portion of the game feel immersive and exciting, but not have a gameplay mechanic that's foreign to the rest of the game. I won't spoil the surprise. I'm going to let people play it to see what we've done with it. [image]
FiringSquad: What other mini-games or tasks will there be in The Great Cow Race? Dan Conners: Smiley needs to build a cow suit, Phoney needs to convince the locals to bet on the Mystery Cow, and Fone needs to impress Thorn. There are games to play at the fair, a giant bee to outsmart, rat creatures to get away from, and a really bad love poem to create. [image]
FiringSquad: How will the second chapter improve on the gameplay of the first Bone game chapter? Dan Conners: It's much less linear this time out. The middle part of the game requires you to switch between the three cousins to solve puzzles, which is kind of a tribute to Day of the Tentacle. It's also more challenging for gamers and there's a lot more to do. We really have taken the feedback to heart in the creation of this game. [image]
FiringSquad: Will there be any visual improvements for The Great Cow Race? Dan Conners: The game looks better overall, but we're still trying to be as compatible as possible. Our visuals aren't about the latest shaders or normal mapping, but they are about quality art. [image]
FiringSquad: What is the current status of The Great Cow Race and when will it be released? Dan Conners: It's just about wrapped up. Look for it in the middle of April [image]
FiringSquad:: Is the third Bone chapter in production now and if so how will it be handled? Dan Conners: We are mulling over the design at this point. FiringSquad: Telltale Games took a risk with episodic games. Looking back does the team believe that this way of presenting PC games will become more popular among other developers? Dan Conners: Definitely. The move to episodic games is unavoidable for so many reasons. FiringSquad: Can you give us a brief update on the Sam and Max game? Dan Conners: We are currently working on the design. FiringSquad: Finally is there anything else you wish to say about The Great Cow Race and Telltale in general? Dan Conners: The Great Cow Race is a very cool game. We've listened to gamer feedback and responded. The Bone story takes a big step forward, as well. I think after playing The Great Cow Race, people will really start to understand the benefits of this model. Regarding Telltale, we're going to continue to build unique games that aren't the same old thing. We appreciate the support and feedback we've received from the gaming community and vow to keep improving. |

PLenty of red flags but awesome dogs
So yesterday I visited a non-GSD breeder (no breed mentioning due to confidentiality) somewhere in the US.
I'll start from the very beginning. Several ads on the internet, a very messy, cluttered front and back yard. Inside: very welcoming people, about 5 females and the stud dog, the place in a moderate state of hoarding, no barking or fighting , despite unaltered females and litters, strong dog smell, two litters (one born day before), very social, sweet dogs, great looking dogs with awesome temperament. Dogs and pups are fed a cheap grocery store food, bred back to back for about 4 times before being retired as breeding dogs, no contract, pups sold under 7 weeks but happy to keep the pup a few more weeks. They all live and are raised inside. They raise champions,the dogs and pups are well socialized, well built and healthy and the breeders honest about their philosophy and trustworthy. This is really confusing and it made me realize that keeping an open mind increases your options. Your take on this?

Do they do health testing? How old are the females when they have their first litter(s)? You can have conformationally great dogs that are prone to disease. I would want that ruled out from the onset by having dogs that are cleared of the common for their breed diseases.

Health testing is the big one for me, but how do they raise champions? How many champions do they have in their lines? Do they show consistently? It's just interesting that for someone that shows, probably pays 1000s in entry/handler fees to get a champion, doesn't health test.
I could really care less what the facility looks like, what the dogs are fed...they don't pass on those traits to the puppies. There's a reason why the grocery store foods are still on the market, most people still use them. The weird thing with other breeds is that many of them don't have a temperament test/requirement. There is a temperament standard, but not really the Schutzhund type test to prove it. Germany has the SchH1 requirement to breed, and its poured over to the United States as people want to live up to the "founder's standard." With other breeds...especially what are commonly referred to as companion breeds, its too much of an expectation to expect people to go way out of their way to test temperament in ways that their customers don't even care about. And yeah...the awesome part. The worst place to gauge a dog is in their home environment...its where they're comfortable, and they have been "trained" in a way to act in a certain matter. If the breeder thought his dogs weren't going to impress you, probably wouldn't invite you over, or lock up the problem dogs. Its the same with GSDs...you can come to my house and think mine is awesome, but the true test is when he's out and about in a higher stress situation. No breeder will invite you over if they have a crazy/aggressive GSD...unless they're trying to impress you with their "guarding skills."

Depends on the breed, IMO. Each breed I'm interested in has it's own health concerns. In general, no I do not write someone off immediately because their home is not spotless or they are not feeding $60/bag dog food.

And.....if I had "found" a dog like these in the shelter I would have never been picky and taken him/her home in a heart beat.

You can't claim they are healthy without seeing vet examination records and having the dogs health tested. A dog with cancer can look healthy.

I'm not sure about the breed or what the "going rate" would be for those dogs, but if you have two litters on the ground at the same time, its a pretty nice paycheck at the end of 8 weeks when all of them are sold. Rarely are these types of situations for the "love" of the breed. It's not hard to plan to have litters at different times, especially if you have 5 breeding bitches. Anyways...can you answer how their dogs are champions? And how many they have produced? Or was that just something written on the web page without any actual backing behind it?

Oneida school board hears from library, BOCES
ONEIDA — Representatives from the Oneida Public Library addressed Oneida City School District Board of Education members on Tuesday night, seeking support and assistance on their initiative to build a new library on the site of the former Elizabeth Street school.
OPL Board of Trustees Director Eileen Kinsella hopes to partner with the school district, as both institutions are in the business of providing educational opportunities to everyone.
"Libraries have become more than just books," Kinsella said. "They are the center of educational services and the future for responding to our communities needs."
Ginny Pendleton also discussed the roots that the library has within the community.
"The library is the heart of this community where people should be able to feel safe and free to go to gain wisdom as well as it being a gathering place for all," Pendleton said.
The proposed library would be more than 10,000 square feet larger than the current structure and would be more accessible to handicapped and individuals with physical limitations.
"Everything is going to be on one floor with very open floor plans providing maximum visibility of all areas without requiring the need to add additional staff," Kinsella said.
Myra Yardley provided an update on the BOCES Evening Program, held at the Oneida High School since 1999. The program provides courses in the core areas of algebra, geometry, finance, English, social studies and living environment.
"Students referred to the program generally have attendance issues during the day, require evening courses during scheduling conflicts during the day, or need additional credits to graduate with their classmates," Yardley said. Students with behavior issues are not appropriate referrals to this program.
Board President John Elberson advised the board that it is time to begin working on the 2013-14 budget. As required by law, the budget must be offered to a public vote on the third Tuesday of the month of May. The 2013-14 budget referendum and election of school board members will be held on May 21. The first draft of the superintendent's budget proposal is anticipated by Jan. 30, followed by a review from the sub-committees. Continued...
The public will get their first chance to hear about the proposed budget at the March 12 board of education meeting.

Two Senate Republicans who backed same-sex marriage last year are in the fight of their political lives.
Senator Stephen Saland of Poughkeepsie has a narrow lead over his primary opponent, Neil DiCarlo.
Senator Roy McDonald of Saratoga trails his rival, County Clerk Kathy Marchione, by more than 200 votes.
"They remembered the issues that resonated with me and they remembered the issues that were important to their families. And they remember what he did in June 2011 and it's payback time," said DiCarlo.
The legalization of same-sex marriage passed last year, thanks in part to the four Republicans who backed the measure.
Senator Mark Grisanti of Buffalo, considered to be the most vulnerable of the four, cruised to a primary win on Thursday, despite anti-gay mailers questioning his loyalty to the GOP.
"I'm not going to get into the nasty stuff that was portrayed upon me and my family. I stay above the fray," Grisanti said.
But for Saland and McDonald, their fate is now being determined by absentee ballots.
Regardless of the outcome, the National Organization For Marriage, an anti-gay marriage group, said the point of angering social conservatives has been made. Marchione was a last-minute recipient of $9,000 in money from the group.
"Same-sex marriage, his evolution into that, it's all about integrity," said Marchione. Lieutenant Governor Bob Duffy, who presided in the State Senate during the same-sex marriage vote, said the primary results send a different message to those in public life.
"I think the sad thing about politics today is you have some very good public servants on both sides of the aisle, whether it be the marriage equality issue or others, get involved in a very controversial topic and those that oppose it go out of their way to drive them out of office," Duffy said. "In essence, they're creating an environment where quite frankly the courage level of elected officials goes down dramatically."
All three of the GOP lawmakers have received donations from wealthy backers of same-sex marriage, including New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

PUNE, Feb. 20 – Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Pune opened the 3-day International Symposium on 'Accelerating Biology 2013: The Next Wave' at Pune today.
Dr. George Komatsoulis, Director, Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT), NCI, USA was the Chief Guest on the occasion and delivered the inaugural address. Dr. G.V.Ramaraju, Group Coordinator, Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), Govt of India was the Guest of Honor. Prof Rajat Moona, Director General, C-DAC presided over the inaugural function.
The primary objective of the symposium is to seek to address the current and emerging challenges in the areas of genome sequencing, genome analysis, comparative genomics, molecular modeling, algorithm development and Systems Biology.
In his inaugural address, Dr. George Komatsoulis spoke on the problem of Cancer and the role of CBIIT in the global efforts to find a solution. According to him, global efforts were being made to find a solution to this disease. The primary objective of the symposium is to seek to address the current and emerging challenges in the areas of genome sequencing, genome analysis, comparative genomics, molecular modeling, algorithm development and Systems Biology.
Dr. G.V.Ramaraju delivered the keynote talk on 'DeitY's Roadmap for Bioinformatics in India' and reiterated the support of the Government of India to the growth of Bioinformatics research in the coming years. He commented that "the Indian government has been one of the earliest to recognize the potential of the Bioinformatics domain to solve the grand challenge problems facing mankind. With this view, the DeitY has been proactive in pursuing a clear cut strategy for the promotion of Bioinformatics research in the country. C-DAC has been a key ally in this endeavour through the formation of the Bioinformatics Research and Applications Facility (BRAF) for the Bioinformatics community. Today, the BRAF has come a long way in not only being the only dedicated infrastructure and resources for the Bioinformatics community, but it has also evolved from a facility to an incubation platform to conduct cutting edge research as well as forge collaborations and partnerships in the larger interests of mankind,"
Addressing the media, Prof Rajat Moona, Director General, C-DAC pointed out to the strengths of C-DAC in the bioinformatics domain, highlighting the, "dual capability of C-DAC in terms of in-depth knowledge of genome analysis and molecular modeling, as well as High Performance Computing. This expertise puts us in a very advantageous position wherein we can play a major role to bring the research community closer to the tools and technologies that will accelerate the pace of research. Very recently, C-DAC has launched PARAM Yuva II with a peak computing power of half a petaflop which is also the fastest supercomputer in the country. This system will add more teeth to our endeavors in the Bioinformatics domain and will boost the pace of research within the Bioinformatics community."
Earlier, Dr Hemant Darbari, Executive Director, C-DAC, Pune delivered the welcome address. The symposium is being facilitated by the Bioinformatics team of C-DAC, Pune under the aegis of the Department of Information Technology (DIT), Ministry of Communications and IT (MC&IT), Government of India.
Speaking about the symposium, Dr Rajendra Joshi, Associate Director & HoD – Bioinformatics, C-DAC, Pune said, "The last few decades have witnessed the evolution of biology from what used to be a purely experimental field, to a high end computational domain, where unrelenting computational power is required to decipher pieces of data generated through high throughput techniques into blocks of information that will help to answer many mysteries of life. To be able to generate knowledge from the oceans of genomic data, enabling technologies like High Performance Computing, Grid Computing and Cloud Computing are the latest tools in the hands of the modern biologist. In India, the Bioinformatics Resources and Applications Facility (BRAF) has been serving the computational need of the Indian life sciences community. Efforts are being made to take get to the next level where BRAF can take up leadership at the global level. One of highlights of the achievements of BRAF, is the work carried out as a part of a global consortium which led to a publication in Nature (2013) titled "A large-scale evaluation of computational protein function prediction". Nature has a high impact factor of 19.276.
This publication indicates the quality of work being carried out at the BRAF facility. Similarly, the project dealing with analysis of the breast cancer transcriptome with the Tata Memorial Centre (Mumbai) is yet another example of collaborative work. We are also having a collaboration with CBIIT, NCI, USA for various aspects of cancer research. Also a number of other collaborative projects with the Pirbright Institute (UK) and the University of Surrey (UK) are already in the pipeline."
Several eminent scientists and researchers from across the country are participating in the event and will deliver talks on several key areas. A poster presentation competition among research students from all over India was also organized as part of the symposium.

In praise of Les and Judy Vadasz
It is a sign of noble character not to seek recognition for good deeds, and one of the criteria for Sonoma's annual alcalde award is that honorees "do not seek public accolades or recognition for work done."
Other criteria include:
A broad spectrum of voluntary community service to Sonoma Valley.
Service in a leadership role in at least one nonprofit organization.
Having spearheaded at least one community-serving project without compensation.
Being well known for consistent behind-the-scenes good deeds.
Adhering to a high standard of moral and ethical values.
Combine those qualities into a prototypical character profile and you have Les and Judy Vadasz, who have been living as far below the radar of public recognition as they could get since arriving here in 1997.
Staying publicly invisible is a tricky achievement since, by one recent estimate (not theirs), they have been involved at one level or another in as many as 25 local charities, if not more.
Les Vadasz, as many people know, was part of the founding management team at Intel, serving variously as head of engineering, executive vice president, president of Intel Capital and as a longtime member of the Intel board of directors.
When he retired in 2003, Les had the means to do and have virtually anything he and Judy wanted. They chose, as one of their principal priorities, to serve the community of Sonoma Valley, and the imprint of their service is everywhere, especially in our schools.
"Education is the great equalizer," Les likes to say, "we must do a better job for our kids."
Both he and Judy have been directly involved with the Sonoma Valley Mentoring Alliance and Judy, a former school counselor, spearheaded creation of the Plein Air Foundation that has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars into Valley arts education.
The Vadasz fingerprints are all over Sonoma Valley schools. The Vadasz Family Foundation provided start-up funds for the innovative and highly successful Exploratorium Science Project that has ignited fires of learning excitement throughout the school district, and they provided the funding for introduction of free pre-school classes at El Verano School, a pilot program they hope to see spread throughout the district. They have supported extensive technology improvements in the schools, including the Earn While You Learn professional development program for school district teachers.
And they provided leadership for the Teacher Support Network and Linked Learning Pathways, becoming important partners with the Sonoma Valley Education Foundation in countless education ventures. Foundation Executive Director Laura Zimmerman describes their commitment to Valley education as simply "remarkable."
But Vadasz giving isn't defined by their wealth. They are keen and critical judges of new initiatives, they coax and challenge the organizations they support, looking always to invest in long-term futures, not short-term results and to ask what will best help the students.
We know these words will embarrass them, and we apologize for the pain they may inflict. But there could not be a better set of choices for Sonoma Alcalde and we congratulate Les and Judy for are all the good deeds they have done.

Alcoholics Anonymous First Edition, First Printing 1939 (Big Book)
SIGNED by Bill Wilson to Margret (Bobbie) Burger Her Personal Book, With ORIGINAL Dust Jacket !
NY: Works Publishing Company, April 1939
This is a very rare A. A. First Edition First Printing Big Book in Near Fine condition previously owned by Bobbie Burger, Bill Wilson's secetrary that he inscribed to her on September, 25 1942 "For my devoted helper, my loyal friend - Margret Burger - "Bill". with a clam shell box and its Original dust jacket in Very Good condition !
Source: http://abookman.com/JF100.htm
Is this book really worth $40.000????? So much for remaining "anonymous" it has her full name on it!
What makes you think that Margaret Burger was a member of AA?
Why do insurance companies pay upwards of 35 grand for treatment programs? Back in Cincinnati in the 1980's some of us called the care units the "$30,000 Big Book"
they paid 30 grand and got a big book...
Any reports on whether he was banging her?

That medical stamp of approval was Bill W's ticket to the big times and he knew it. He saw the power of the medical establishments endorcement while the Oxford groupers stuck with religion. I bet he nearly wet his pants when he realized he helped a doctor get sober....had to have worked wonders for his ego and his big future plans of a medicalized/religious cult following. Shoot high and hope for the best...isn't that how those gambling types think?
I'm sure whoever buys the book will find it invaluable, and you will find that person an idiot. This is all so transparent. Don't you have any games to play that don't broadcast the outcome??

Mumbai, March 12: Regional channels accounted for around 27 percent of the total television viewership in 2012, said a just released Ficci-KPMG report on the Indian media and entertainment industry.
The report said that while Tamil and Telugu markets accounted for around 50 percent of the total regional viewership, Marathi and Bengali markers account for 29 percent of the regional viewership.
"Regional genres are showing phenomenal growth in terms of viewership. Advertisers are yet to tap into the large potential of the retail consumers in these markets and local advertisers would be willing to pay a premium for this audience," Punit Goenka, MD and CEO of Zee Enterprises Entertainment Ltd, said in the report.
"Regional channels are estimated to account for approximately 30 percent of total revenues of Star and Zee networks. Regional channels command an advertising market share of 27.2 percent, which is proportionate to their viewership share," the report said.
"Regional markets continue to outpace the national market in terms of growth. Despite a slower growth in 2012, some regional markets have shown an impressive upward trend. This is on account of the FMCG clients which account for 60 percent of total spending," said Subramanyam K., vice president and national head, ad sales and marketing of ETV Network.
The report was released on the first day of the 14th edition of Ficci-Frames 2013, the annual convention of the media and entertainment industry here in Mumbai organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci).

So I've had my two Tiefling characters (who were discussed in another thread) more or less figured out, but one little detail might need a bit of refining. What would you say are good spells to use on a small group of civilians or a single one that wouldn't kill them but would instead serve as a good punishment for angering a Wizard? One example I found to be thematically fitting was Disfiguring Touch from Ultimate Magic, but I wouldn't wanna limit my Wizard's wrath to just one spell.
Baleful Polymorph.
Now I just feel embarassed for missing that classic.
There is also Prediction of Failure, Bestow Curse, Parasitic Soul, and Black Spot.
hypnosis. add a implanted suggestion to do something embarrassing. Grease on their ale mug. Polymorph their head guy into a hot chick in a bikini. Illusions. Anything you can do to them, you can convince them you've done something worse. command/suggestion/mass suggestion. Arcane mark on their forehead, in the shape of a big "L"
Horrible Player spell....awesome GM spell. Nothing says you did bad like a spell that forces the players to acquire a homemade donut with pink frosting and sprinkles from some far off land.
@Blackbloodtroll: Isn't that a bit excessive for a 'don't annoy me' hex? @Lab_Rat: best punishment use for Geas (for a minor transgression) is the Lady Godiva treatment: A Geas to walk through every street of the town naked.
Depends on how vindictive the Wizard is.
The Wizard I speak of is a Chelish noble of sorts (she's a Tiefling and her family's name got wiped out much to her chagrin), generally mean-spirited (starts out Neutral Evil) but with a soft spot for kids and for the poor, which she usually denies. I'm just trying to think of non-lethal spells she'd cast at people who anger her. She saves the slightly more harmful ones towards people who actually beat up children or do something equally unacceptable in her eyes.
the curse of charity: A Geas to give every time they see a beggar.
What exactly did they do?
Punishment should fit the crime.
What's a good punishment for an abusive parent?
And while we're at it, how about a punishment for a thief?
Abusive parent? Bestow Curse to be stuck in eternal pain.
Thief? Community Service.
Abusive parent: Polymorph into a kid, adopt out to another abusive parent. Thief: the curse of charity. Plus a mark of justice or Geas to stop him from re-offending. A curse that forces him to sing "I'm a thief, I'm a thief, I'm a naughty little thief" in a high pitched girly voice whenever he tries to steal something also works.
Correction: Geas for Community Service.
Teach that Thief.
I'm mainly just hankering to use this spell for my "refuses to kill/fairy tale justice" caster concept concept, but if the GM is open to 3pp, 101 6th Level Spells has be a tree.
One can build a prison and a public park at the same time!
Dismissable too iirc.
Hypnosis is always good against a low-level target. The compulsion to be violently sick whenever they do the action you disapprove of... and they don't even realize you did it!
I'm mainly just hankering to use this spell for my "refuses to kill/fairy tale justice" caster concept concept, but if the GM is open to 3pp, 101 6th Level Spells has be a tree. One can build a prison and a public park at the same time! Dismissable too iirc.
I like that... but there are other fun things to do without factoring in turning people into trees: Geas to spend 8 hours a day creating and maintaining a public park works even better than a single tree's worth of public beautification.
EDIT: forgot to mention that turning people into trees is probably better duration than the Geas.
I would like some details of these crimes.
Hypothetical crimes worthy of magical punishment. Crime number 1) Getting on my nerves. Crime number 2) Ignorance. Crime number 3) Being ugly without a licence. Crime number 4) Making a mock list of crimes on the internet that makes wizards look petty. Crime numbeAaag...

I think my Wizard would make good use of that spell when punishing mongrels (her little nickname for commoners that she dislikes or hates).
Though my greatest challenge will be finding a DM who allows 3pp, since that idiotic "fear of the unknown" gets to most of them, much to my chagrin.
@FuelDrop: Sounds quite a lot like the Wizard I've been talking about here, especially during her Neutral Evil phase. Thankfully she doesn't stay that way.
Don't forget Suggestion, for all your Jedi Mind Trick needs.
Also, Prestidigitation - dye their hair pink. If they're gnomes, turn it brown.
Blindness/Deafness. Permanent, and you can choose to dismiss it if the target atones.
Crafter's Curse - victim takes a -5 to craft checks for several days.
That'd be a very cruel spell to cast on an artisan of any sort, or a Dwarf.
Now that I think of it, what spell could potentially rip a Dwarf's beard off or cut an elves' ears?
I might be thinking of some minor Transmutation spell again, maybe Disfiguring Touch or some variant for that purpose.

One Suspect Spat at Cop, Other Ate Marijuana, Police Say
Men in car stopped for bad headlight racked up additional charges when they resisted police, court papers say.
A Bethlehem traffic stop landed two men in jail early Sunday, with one of them allegedly spitting vomit at a police officer, while the other apparently tried to eat marijuana.
According to police, officers stopped a white Honda on the 600 block of Atlantic Street on the SouthSide because one of the headlights was not working. One of the men in the car, Jose Leon, 22, no address given, told police his name was "Luis Leon," and that he was 17.
Police say Leon struggled with officers who tried to fingerprint him. At one point, he vomited into his mouth, and spit the fluids onto one of the officers.
He is charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, possession of a small amount of marijuana, and providing false identification to law enforcement. He was arraigned before District Judge Richard Yetter and sent to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $65,000 bail.
Another man in the car, David Hernandez, 19, of 1543 E. Eighth Street in South Bethlehem, allegedly refused to get out of the vehicle after police learned there was a warrant for his arrest on a gun charge. Police say Hernandez also tried to eat some marijuana roaches he had with him. Police say they also found a bag of heroin with Hernandez.
He is charged with resisting arrest, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a small amount of marijuana, and tampering with evidence. Hernandez was also arraigned before Yetter and sent to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $35,000 bail.
Two other men inside the vehicle were issued summonses for possessing a small amount of marijuana and released, police said.

Yep, that's what this country is coming to. I'm surprised no one has accused this police officer of racial profiling or crying out for stricter gun laws. The scary thing is, is that this article was written on Jan 8. These animals are probably already back on the street committing more crime.

The project, an alliance between Queensland Gas Company Limited, of Australia, and BG Group plc, of the United Kingdom, will develop coal seam gas from the Surat Basin in Queensland for Australian and international markets.
Bechtel, one of the world's leading LNG contractors, was recently named the top United States contractor for the tenth consecutive year by Engineering News-Record, a leading US trade publication for the construction industry.
The company has built about one-third of all LNG production capacity worldwide.
Under the agreement with Bechtel, front-end engineering design (FEED) of the plant will begin immediately. A seamless transition into procurement and construction will follow a final investment decision (FID) on the project, scheduled for early 2010.
The plant is being designed with one production train initially to supply 3 to 4 million tonnes of LNG a year for export markets, with potential expansion, via additional trains, to up to 12 million tonnes a year subject to additional gas reserves.
BG Group's Executive Vice President of the Americas and Global LNG, Martin Houston, and QGC's Managing Director, Richard Cottee, welcomed Bechtel's involvement. "BG Group and Bechtel have had a long association and have constructed a total of six LNG trains in which BG has an interest in Egypt and Trinidad and Tobago," Houston said.
"In addition to this, Bechtel has constructed LNG export facilities in Algeria, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, Equatorial Guinea and Libya.
"Bechtel also constructed the Darwin LNG plant, giving it a tremendous local experience base from which to embark on this project and we are delighted to award it a committed role in our Queensland LNG project."
Cottee said: "The confirmation today is another important milestone in the steady progress of the Queensland Curtis LNG Project.
"With its substantial experience in global LNG plant construction, Bechtel is a natural choice for our project.''
As part of the engineering work, Bechtel will refine its development of the ConocoPhillips Optimized Cascade Process, which the parties agree is best suited to a plant supplied by coal seam gas. Using this technology, gas is cooled and ultimately liquefied through three cycles of refrigeration.
"The cascade process will provide greater flexibility for this project, which is on schedule to be the first LNG plant in the world using coal seam gas," Cottee said.
The cascade process has a long history of successful operation. It was first used in Alaska at the Kenai LNG plant built by Bechtel in 1969.
The Queensland Curtis LNG Project is being developed to provide an export channel to the LNG market.
QGC has pursued an aggressive drilling campaign for several years and its development program was reflected in a recent reserves upgrade. The project was also recently granted significant project status by the Queensland Government.
The QGC-BG Alliance
On February 1, 2008, BG and QGC announced an alliance to develop QGC's world-class coal seam gas resource in the Surat Basin in Queensland for further domestic gas and electricity markets, and to supply an LNG export terminal near Gladstone on the Queensland coast.
The alliance combines BG's significant global development and production expertise, and LNG technical, sales and marketing capabilities, with QGC's world-class resource holdings in Australia and expertise in coal seam gas exploration and production. Within the alliance, BG has acquired a 20 percent interest in QGC's coal seam gas assets in the Surat Basin, interests in the Condamine Power Station project, and a 9.9 percent equity stake in QGC.
BG will also acquire a further 10 percent interest in QGC's coal seam gas and other assets on the parties meeting certain other commercial conditions.
Queensland Curtis LNG Project
The project, which has been declared significant by the Queensland Government, is being assessed for its environmental and social impact. The project comprises:

Free agent Austin Collie (knee) acknowledges that he likely won't be 100 percent until October.
Collie ruptured his right patella tendon late last September. He's "optimistic" about being ready for training camp, but might not be ready to contribute right off the bat. Collie also has a long history of concussions. After interviewing Collie, SI's Don Banks suggests he'll be open to a one-year, prove-it deal.

Tyler The Creator is not a normal human being. This information may not come as too much of a surprise if you've ever heard of him, but it bears repeating: there's something wonderfully abnormal going on inside this young man's head. Which is why we enjoyed reporting on the Gucci Mane event last week, where Tyler, perhaps all hopped up on the corn syrup from his beloved Capri Suns, bum-rushed the stage, was escorted off, and then gloriously returned. But to really get a sense of how ridiculous it was, you've got to watch the video. More»
Gucci Mane, Tyler The Creator [by Rony Alwin via]
Last night's launch event for skate/streetwear brand The Hundreds' collaboration with G-Shock at the Belasco Theatre downtown unfolded as a scenario that could probably only happen here in L.A. One in which crazed Odd Future frontman Tyler the Creator, famous as much for making scenes with his radical behavior as he is for his music, was escorted off stage after making a surprise appearance during a Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy performance.

The Wallace & Gromit series of stop-motion animation shorts and features have tended to fly a bit under the radar in the USA; more so than in the UK where they were ¢ and still are ¢ a veritable phenomenon. Emanating from the UKÆs Aardman Studios, the Wallace & Gromit series has received far less attention than AardmanÆs other blockbuster offering, Chicken Run. But Aardman is giving the USA another chance with the bumbling inventor and his sidekick pooch this fall, in the form of a full-length feature film called Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. And par for the industry ¢ where there is a movie, a game is sure to follow. Thankfully Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit for the PS2 ¢ developed by CambridgeÆs Frontier Developments (A DogÆs Life, Rollercoaster Tycoon) ¢ is one of the better movie-to-game adaptations to hit the consoles. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit picks up the story shortly after the inventor and his dog have formed a new pest control company ¢ ōAnti-pestoö ¢ which is dedicated to the humane collection and removal of bunnies, weasels, bugs and just about any other nuisance creature. Anti-pesto employs the use of the Wallace-created BunGun and deft herding skills to drive the pests towards another of WallaceÆs creations, the BunVac, which safely sucks the pests into a holding chamber. The use of the prefix ōBunö refers to bunnies ¢ rabbits ¢ which happen to be the majority of the pests that Wallace & Gromit will encounter throughout the game. In the first training mission ¢ a prologue of sorts ¢ Wallace and Gromit are called out to Lady TottingtonÆs manor where they find the lawn completely overrun by bunnies. Lady Tottington begs the boys to help clear her garden of the scourge, but to do it in a humane manner. Also present is Victor Quartermain, the gold-digging villain with eyes for Lady Tottington ¢ or at least her money ¢ who believes that the only good bunny is a dead bunny, especially in light of the upcoming vegetable growing competition. Needless to say, duo humanely takes care of Ms. TottingtonÆs blight and returns home with a truckload of captive bunnies, which Wallace now has to figure out how to relieve himself of. Knowing that simply releasing the bunnies would be devastating to the townÆs vegetation, Wallace has the brilliant idea that if he can first brainwash the bunnies (using his Mind Manipulator-Matic machine) into forgetting about their love of vegetables, the town ¢ and the competition ¢ might be safe. But, as you would expect ¢ the brainwashing session goes awry, and the next morning Wallace ends up with an empty truck, an awful headache, and a strange affinity for carrotsģ This is the point where the game really begins to take form. Much like the Jak II and III games, Wallace and Gromit are placed in a fairly large town and traverse from one end of town to the other picking up missions and mini-missions along the way. Naturally, the missions generally involve some sort of herding, as Wallace and Gromit try to drive their bunny invaders (now breeding rampantly) towards the BunVac portals and back into captivity. There are a number of gadgets that emerge during the game and that Wallace and Gromit will employ in their endeavors; including Bunny Hoppers, Airblasters, Decoys, and of course ¢ the BunGun. Each of these items will have a specific purpose as our heroes not only rid the city of bunnies, but also hunt down the destructive Ware Rabbit and try to stop him from ruining the competition. Each of the two characters (and a third that appears later in the game) does have definite specialties ¢ for instance, Wallace can perform a double jump to reach isolated tall objects (although not too tall), while Gromit can wall hop back and forth between walls in alleyways and alcoves to reach rooftops and high platforms (think Prince of Persia). The abilities will be put to good use as the puzzles in the game will usually require the use of both characters in one form or another ¢ either flipping switches, cranking pulleys, opening doors, etc. ¢ while the other character completes the task. Thankfully, switching between the characters is as easy as a tap of the R2 button and control is instantly transferred. One especially nice touch is the analog representation of switching and cranking, which will force the player to mimic the direction of the switch flipping or rotate the analog stick appropriately for cranking. In fact the controls are very intuitive and fluid and overall, which is quite impressive for a licensed game where developers tend to cut corners. Sadly, the herding gameplay will get a bit repetitive and tiresome around halfway through the game. However, there is a fair share of side missions and games to liven things up a bit. What can I say? The game looks as good or better than the movies. Sure, it has some seams and glitches ¢ and the shading isnÆt on the caliber of the claymation films ¢ but the increased framerate and smooth motion alone makes the CG version of the game much more appealing to me than the jerkiness of stop-motion animation. It should come as no surprise that the characters look exactly like their onscreen counterparts, and as I mentioned ¢ the movement is fluid and smooth. The village is absolutely huge and well inhabited (although it is nothing like you find in the Jak games), and you will be amazed at the detail put into the environmental textures ¢ not only the obvious things like the buildings or brickwork roads, but also such things little things like the vegetables or the rabbits themselves. Of particular note are the cool visual effects used to show the ōsuckingö of the BunGun and BunVac portals, which look like a glistening, swirling vortex of crystal-clear fluid. There are also a fair share of particle effects and other environmental reactions to the vacuum effect ¢ vegetables getting sucked from their vines and plugging the vacs, etc.. Really, this is some impressive stuff. The sound quality is also on par with the movies and from what I can gather it uses the actual (or close representations of) voices from the movie. Naturally, there is an air of humor throughout the dialog, and the writing is so well constructed you will want to watch the CG cutscenes in their completion. Then again, you really have no choice in the matter, since you arenÆt allowed to skip the cutscenes anyway. Yes this is a bummer, and if you ever get in a spot where you have to watch a particularly long scene for a second, or third time, it can be miserable. As with the voiceovers, the background music and sound effects are of cinema-quality. Really, where W&G begins to fall apart substantially is in the value department. It definitely is longer than most games of its ilk, but with he 5-10 hours it takes to finish the game, it pales in comparison to the likes of Ratchet and Clank or a Jak and Daxter title. But for gamers who have played out both of those seriesÆ, W&G is at least enough of a hybrid between the two that it would be a nice diversion for at least a little while. The inclusion of two-player cooperative play is also a nice feature ¢ allowing friends and/or family to join in on the fun. I especially liked giving my four-year-old daughter the controller and letting her interact with the environment while I kept us on task. I would like to mention one complaint that really impacted the value of the game for me, and I would like the developers to make note of this: Please donÆt put spoilers in your manual. IÆm not much of a manual reader ¢ I generally just skim through to get a basic feel for the HUD and control scheme ¢ but the manual in W&G pretty much spells out the entire plot (and any plot twists), as well the ending ¢ including what you will be doing in the grand finale ending mission. Now, I have been careful not to spoil the game (or movie) for you readers thus far, so if you donÆt like spoilers ¢ donÆt read the manual. And as for the developers ¢ shame on you ¢ I was so excited to get to the final mission because of what I read, that it was real letdown when it wasnÆt as great as I had imagined it to be. Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit has a lot of the same trappings that made games like Sheep and Herdy Gerdy such unique and fun console titles. It also has a lot of the repetitious gameplay issues that dragged those games down after a few hours of play. It may not have the mettle to stand up against some of the first party action-platformers on the Playstation 2, but with the unique two-character mechanics and great CG films and voiceovers ¢ it is a solid release. As I mentioned previously, as far as movie-to-game adaptations go, W&G is definitely a step above the norm. While it may not be worth a purchase for everyone, fans of the films will definitely find something to enjoy in W&G. As will parents who like playing nice, clean games with their children. |

Two new games coming from Arcen! Exodus of the Machine!And Skyward Collapse!
Reading the (relatively) small amount of serialized data from disc into RAM can't be what is taking so "long" (My computer may just be very fast, but I have almost read the text that appears when I go to a new chunk )
I think you said it already, but correct me if I'm wrong. It is the chunk generation that is eating up those CPU cycles. What about generating the adjacent chunks in a separate thread while the player is exploring one. Worst case the player gets to a chunk that hasn't been processed yet and has to wait as normal. At a lower priority I don't see it taking away too much from the active game thread. I know you guys love your multi-threading
I don't presume to understand exactly how you have the game structured (well, I'm going to do exactly that now, but don't hold it against me). Wouldn't it be streaming the new chunks right to disc, so that they are just "there" when the player moves to the next one. That way, it wouldn't even be hitting shared memory.
How long are we talking about, anyhow?
Quote from: x4000 on March 30, 2012, 11:20:18 AM How long are we talking about, anyhow?Not quite sure, but less time that it takes me to blink. Certainly not complaining, just curious.
Is there any point in having 32 bit binaries these days? I don't think there are any CPUs being sold without 64 bit functionality anymore.
And again for Windows 8 the stupidity of Microsoft continues
I wonder when those 32 bit systems are so old that we can just tell them that their hardware is no longer supported and make everything 64 bit only.Quote from: eRe4s3r on March 31, 2012, 07:11:11 AMAnd again for Windows 8 the stupidity of Microsoft continuesIs it even possible to build a 32-bit-only PC that can run Win8?
