ANTS Performance Profiler - 7.2
Working with the timeline - ANTS Performance Profiler
The timeline is visible throughout a profiling session, and provides a frequently updated display of performance-counter values and instances of events related to the application you are profiling. You can use this overview of application activity to isolate performance-profiling results for specific time periods.
The timeline enables you to select a region (corresponding to a time period during execution of your application) for which you wish to display profiling results. You can select and reselect any region as often as you need to, both during profiling and after you have stopped profiling and closed your application. You can also create bookmarks for selected regions, enabling you to define multiple regions and switch between them to look at data for different periods during a profiling session.
The main section of the timeline shows the values for a selection of Windows performance counters. You can choose which performance counters to display before you start profiling your application. See Setting up Charting Options for more information.
The event bar on the timeline shows event markers. These indicate when certain types of event occur within your application, for example, button clicks, window activations, and exceptions. When you move the mouse pointer over an event marker a tooltip provides more information about the event. See Working with event markers and method events for more information.
Working with regions on the timeline
You can select, clear, and bookmark regions on the timeline. Whenever you select a region, profiling results are displayed that relate to the selected period only.
Selecting a region
To select a region, click and drag the mouse pointer across the timeline. The results pane (beneath the timeline) updates to show profiling results for the selected region.
Resetting a region
To reset the currently selected region to cover the whole timeline, click Select All. The results pane updates to show profiling results for the entire time period for which your application was running.
Bookmarking a region
You can create a bookmark on the timeline, for a selected region. This is useful if there are several periods for which you want to view or compare profiling results: you can easily switch between bookmarked regions to redisplay profiling results.
To bookmark a selected region, click within the selected region. This region is now bookmarked (this is indicated by a highlighted bar at the top of the timeline). To select this region again later, click within the highlighted bar.
You can name a bookmark to make it easier to identify. To name a bookmark, click the highlighted bar for the bookmark and click . The name you type will be shown on the bookmark's tooltip.
To delete a bookmark, click the highlighted bar for the bookmark and click .
Adjusting the time scale
You can change the time scale to view performance-counter data in more or less detail by rotating the mouse wheel, or by using the zoom-control buttons (zoom in , zoom out , and zoom to fit ). You can also use the following keyboard shortcuts: CTRL+PLUS to zoom in; CTRL+MINUS to zoom out.
To pan the main timeline, move the mouse pointer over the highlighted area in the overview timeline (), and drag to the left or right.
Working with performance counters
The performance counters available for the current profiling session are listed to the left of the timeline. You can choose which performance counters to display when you set up a new profiling session (see Setting up Charting Options).
To highlight a particular performance counter on the timeline, click its description in the Performance Counters list. Values for the selected performance counter are shown on a tooltip when you move your mouse pointer over the main timeline.
Working with event markers and method events
The events bar (directly above the main timeline) indicates when certain events occurred within the application you are profiling. To display more information about the event, move your mouse pointer over an event marker.
Events are displayed using colored markers:
Event type |
Color |
Exception |
Click |
Window activated and window closed |
All other events |
If you click on a method in the call tree or on the methods grid (and when you display the call graph for a method), the times when that method executed are shown as light green areas in the events bar. These areas are called 'method events'. If the method called unmanaged code, the period when the unmanaged code ran is shown as dark green.
Adding custom event markers
It is possible to add your own event markers to the timeline. For example, you might want to know when a certain item is loaded into memory or when an ASP.NET page is loaded or unloaded. To add a custom marker:
- Copy
%ProgramFles%/Red Gate/ANTS Performance Profiler 6/RedGate.Profiler.UserEvents.dll
to your application's bin folder. (Create the bin folder using Windows Explorer if it does not already exist.) - Reference the DLL from your application.
- Add the following line to your application wherever you want to see an event marker on the profiler's timeline. (Replace 'The message' with a short description of the event.)
RedGate.Profiler.UserEvents.ProfilerEvent.SignalEvent("The message");
- When you profile your application, the event is shown in the ANTS Performance Profiler timeline with a black event marker. Move your mouse over the event marker to display the message.
Note that you cannot use custom event markers when profiling Silverlight applications.

I work on a website that is backed by a database with a lot of product information. Much of this information is user generated.
I would like to know if there are any copyright issues around crawling the web for more product information, given that the entries are simply facts.
A typical database entry might look like:
Some Toy name, Some manufacturer name, Release date
Is it possible that any site that has compiled this information (but made it freely available via their website) could claim that it was copyrighted by them? I understand that if the presentation of the data was the same they might claim copyright infringement, but the presentation of that data is unique to the app I am working on.

Rocky Mountain Batting Cages challenges softball and baseball lumber-luggers with six batting cages that use four semiautomatic fast- and slow-pitching machines. Once inside the cage with a free helmet and bat, batters set themselves in the new turf of the batter's box, simulating on-field experience with pre-at-bat rituals such as tightening gloves, loosening shoulders, or singing the refrain from "U Can't Touch This." For ace hurlers and infield clamberers, throwing tunnels and two pitching mounds make for a spot to hone in on an unhittable knuckleball. Rocky Mountain Batting Cages uses video analysis equipment and MotionPro! software to crunch cage-culled data and dispense digital feedback on swing technique and pitch fluidity.
Laser Quest's mazelike, multi-level arena lets up to 39 players weave through the clouded fog with the grace of a skydiving basket-maker—taking cover behind barriers, swooping around corners, and raining beam-bolts down from the upper decks. Players can compete either as friendly teams or as lone wolves. Once they are surrounded by intense crossfire rarely seen outside of stormtrooper raves, players must use strategy, stamina, and well-timed hand-mirror shields to defeat the opposition.
Between bowling, bumper cars, climbing walls, and video games, iT'Z Family Food & Fun has all the favorite indoor activities covered. Varied attractions keep kids and adults entertained all day long, and the bodacious all-you-can-eat buffet means never having to say you're hungry.
The 2,000-square-foot laser-tag arena at Shotz Lazer Tag & Billiards swallows up to 24 players in its black-lit barricades, spitting them out for tests of manual dexterity in the arcade and at pool tables. During games of tag, laser beams slice though a shroud of fog and hearts race in time to pumping music. The staff not only explains the rules of laser tag and equips players with gear, but periodically reconfigures the terrain to prevent frequent visitors from gaining a home-field advantage. Marksmen receive scorecards documenting the number of shots fired, their accuracy, and the location of any stains on their shirt after emerging from the black light. Nearby, the arcade rings with electronic yelps emitted by the gaming machines, and the crack of cue balls echoes over the felt of 9-foot Gold Crown pool tables.
Gleaming under the pale light of the winter sun, blades slice along the smooth surface of Resort Center Ice Skating Rink, sending icy dust spraying in their wake. Surrounded by the quaint, Bavarian-style walls of the Village shopping center, the outdoor oval beckons guests wishing to discover what ice skating was like before indoor rinks confined it and ice sharks rendered neighborhood ponds off-limits. Periodically throughout each public-skate session, a zamboni buffs the subzero sheet to present skaters with a surface as smooth and gentle as the festive tunes filling the air. Guests circle around hand-in-hand, remarking on the surrounding Christmas lights and fir trees while fledgling skaters focus on their footing and grasp complimentary ice-skate trainers for balance.
Between pirouettes or mad dashes across the rink, hands can warm up with steaming mugs of hot chocolate in the skate house. Nearby, in the Village shopping center, more balanced meals can be found at Food for Thought or Kristi's Café, refueling skaters before they explore more than 40 winter-gear hubs and gift shops.

Walnut & Stilton orzotto with roasted squash & Port sauce
MasterChef finalist, Alex Rushmer, shows us how to create a show-stopping vegetarian starter for the festive season
Difficulty and servings
Serves 6
Preparation and cooking times
Prep 40 mins
Cook 2 hrs
plus overnight soakingVegetarian
- Soak the 100g walnuts in water overnight. Strain through a sieve, put in a pan and cover with 300ml water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 mins. Strain again, return to the pan with the stock and bring to the boil. Pour into a blender, blend on medium for 5 mins, then strain back into the pan. Set aside until step 4.
- Make the sauce: soften the shallot in the oil over a gentle heat for 10 mins. Stir in the spices and stock, increase the heat and reduce by three-quarters. Pour in the Port and gently simmer for 20 mins. Strain into a clean pan and reduce over a high heat until thickened, about 10 mins. Set aside. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- For the squash, heat the butter in an ovenproof pan. Fry the squash for 3-4 mins, then stir in the walnuts with the cinnamon, sugar and a pinch of salt. Roast for 15-20 mins or until tender. Keep warm.
- Meanwhile, make the orzotto. Warm the walnut stock. Heat the oil and 25g butter in a large, deep pan, add the shallots and soften for 10 mins, but don't colour. Stir in the garlic and cook 3-4 mins more. Remove from the pan, set aside, then wipe the pan clean. Increase the heat, tip in the barley and toast for 2-3 mins, keeping it moving so it doesn't burn. Quickly stir the shallots and garlic back into the pan with the barley, then pour in the Champagne. Stir well and add a ladleful of warm walnut stock. Lower the heat a little and keep adding stock when the orzotto looks 'thirsty', stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan. (You'll need about 500ml stock in total. Make up the amount with vegetable stock if necessary.) Cook until the barley is tender - 35-40 mins (you have a lot more grace with this than with rice, as it retains its bite for longer).
- When cooked, add another half ladle of stock (to stop the orzotto from thickening as it cools), then stir in the Stilton and a knob of butter. Stir and season, remembering Stilton can be very salty.
- To serve, reheat the sauce, adding a little more Port if it is too thick, then stir in the redcurrant jelly until dissolved and finish with the butter. Spoon some sauce over each plate and top with a few spoonfuls of orzotto. Garnish with the roasted squash and walnut halves, a few small pieces of Stilton and leaves.

TOTALLY FANTASTIC!! I'm always on the look out for Michelin style dishes I can cook at home and this is one of them! Don't compromise on any of the ingredients or it won't be the same. Two of us cooked this dish which helped to speed up the process. Recommend making the sauce ahead, and you can substitue wine for champagne. Don't forget once you have set aside the sauce (step two), that you will need to add extra stock to make up to 500ml (step 4) or you won't have enough stock to cook the orzotto. A truely impressive meal - 2 shared as a mian reather than starter for 6, but very rich!!!

"Happy" about the situation?... "Happy" is a vast understatement for the way I feel about this entire matter.
I think the guy is a lunatic and lacking class. However, I wouldn't be surprised if he produces a spectacular football team over the next 3 years. Michigan doesn't want to find themselves in in-between land like the Pistons. If you're not #1, then blow it up and do what you think you need to do to get there. If it means a few losses to the Apalacian State/ Michigan State's of the football world during the transition, then so be it. By the way, I named my cat RichRod, so I may be biased.
I agree...it's either return to glory or tear it down and start over. I think RichRod the cat will be alive long after RichRod the coach is gone. As long as he's not playing in traffic or doing other risky things.
Whatever you do, please do NOT turn this into another dead cat thread. In fond memory of Muppet the Cat (aack gwarfppl) to those few of us who knew him so well.
Mouse did get hit by a car in 1988. He usually hung out in the backyard, so not sure what he was doing out front. You'd think cats would be more aware of cars. Feels really good to talk about this guys. If anyone else has any stories about how they lost their pets (even fish or dogs), please share them here.
Wolverines don't make very good pets due to their ferocity and tendancy to win more national championships than your team... woops, lost the analogy there.
I think there must be some sort of correlation between liking the wolverines and being interested in ancient history. We Sparties prefer current events.
A badger is a very tough animal, but understand that the wolverine is the most ferocious mammal in the animal kingdom. It would not lose to a badger. Also remember...Michigan is known as "The Wolverine State"
All it will take is this season for State fans to fall from grace in the state of Michigan. Michigan will win more games than state. It will happen this season. I just feel sorry for the state fans who will become our little brother again.
Come-on...admit it...DickRod embarrassed UM on national TV and you wish UM had a straight-up, no-nonsense guy like Dantonio Meanwhile, it's being rumoured that DR is in even more trouble for his part in a condo development company called Legends of Blacksburg, LLC. Details at 11

the everygirl's gift guide
You may have heard it's Holiday Week on The Everygirl and our gift guide is live! In typical Everygirl fashion, almost all of the 95 items in the gift guide are under $50, except for a few "splurge" favorites we couldn't leave out. We have a little something for everyone–the ladies, fellas, little ones, home, office, entertainer, and cook. And we've asked some of our favorite bloggers to share their picks under $30.
Have at it! We dare you not to buy at least one thing.
In other news, things have slowly gotten a little better for me this past week... the support from everyone - in my personal life and across the blogosphere - means more than you realize. Thank you.

The internet has become a powerful tool in many ways. For some people, it has given them educational opportunities that they could not have had before. Other people enjoy meeting potential mates, and eventually fall in love.
The internet has affected almost every aspect of life. People are able to more freely communicate with each other, read news from around the globe, as well as learn about cultures and ideas that they may not have encountered before.
Many people have been able to start businesses that would not have been able to start one traditionally due to the finances involved. The internet has become one of the best equalizers there can be. Small business owners can file their business entity with their state, get their EIN, choose products and suppliers as well as a domain name, and get up and running in a matter of weeks.
Online auction sites have made it possible for people to enjoy a worldwide yard sale as well as discover rare and precious collectibles as well. Social networking has become a very rapid machine that can spread information faster than the news can even be reported. Often times, it is the internet users that decide what is and is not news based on what they share with their friends and family members. It is amazing to see how the internet has changed everything.
There was a time when people thought that the internet was a crazy idea, that it would never take off, now it is one of the most powerful tools of our time.

I am trying to import an existing Grails project (using 1.3.0) into STS (2.3.2). I've installed Grails support, then followed the directions on http://www.grails.org/STS+Integration for importing an existing Grails project. I chose my dev directory (~/builds) as the root, STS scanned it, and offered several of my Grails (and other) projects in the directory to import, except the one I'm interested in! All others were listed. I tried creating a tarball of the project and importing it that way, but STS did not recognize it as a Grails project (or anything at all).
I tried Netbeans, and it imported the same project without trouble. What is the issue here? I tried comparing my project with other Grails projects (that are detected by STS) but I don't know what to look for - at the top level at least they all have the same directories and application.properties file.
I'm going to try raw Eclipse (with the Groovy plugin) and see if there is any better luck. I'd much prefer STS, however...
Any hints?

Residents Warned of Lottery Scam
Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said two Chicagoland victims lost up to $90,000.
Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart is warning residents not to be fooled by scams where "winners" are told they are entitled to a large lottery cash prize without ever having purchased a ticket.
Scammers are reaching their victims, who are often senior citizens, via telephone calls, faxes, emails and letters to tell them about their "jackpot." Some of these letters include phony seals and certificates. To collect, however, money needs to be sent either via Western Union or cashier's check to a foreign address to pay for additional taxes and/or handling charges.
The scammer may also contact the victim again and mention there was a mistake on the tax calculation and more money must be sent.
During the last six months, an 80-year-old victim lost $90,000 and a 74-year-old victim lost $82,000 in this type of scam. Both victims are from the south suburbs.
It is believed this type of scam is prevalent all over the country. The Sheriff's Police Department has received numerous calls about it.
Sheriff Dart reminds the public that you cannot win a lottery without having entered it. There are no upfront fees to pay for a legitimate lottery win. The public should be suspicious if contacted by a lottery agency located in another country. If contacted by telephone, do not give any personal information such as credit card numbers or bank account numbers; hang up immediately and contact local law enforcement.
Anyone who believes they are a victim should call their local law enforcement or Cook County Sheriff's Police at 708-865-4896.

Greedy and stupid. That's the only way to fall for these scams.

You'd think by now that people would be smart enough to know better. We are constantly being reminded of this type of scam. Come on, people, how could you win a contest you never entered? Nothing comes for free. Get with the program and hang up on these people. DUH!

The article noted two IL cases involving elderly people. Instead of calling these people greedy or stupid maybe we should be checking in more closely with our older family members to make sure they aren't falling prey to scammers. The elderly tend to be the intended targets of these scams.

Recently Matt Cutts has announced on his blog that Google will now be letting companies report other websites that might be taking spammy approaches and clearly violating the Google webmaster guidelines! Is Google running out of abilities to track all black hat techniques?
If someone comes across another website performing any spammy or black hat SEO techniques such as cloaking, hidden text, misleading words or deceptive redirects you can now submit the websites information to the following link:
Am I the only one that sees a variety of problems from this? Trying to create silent police officers in the search engine optimization industry is an appetite for disaster while the potential for rather large quarrels is amazing. This leads me to believe that the spam in the search engines is really starting to reach an unprecedented amount which justifies how important it really is to market your business online through marketing and not SEO recipes. Who is on the other end making the decision whether the website being reported is actually violating any spam rules? What happens when competitors get vindictive and start to report websites that clearly are not doing anything wrong?
I think Google has the right idea on trying to clean up websites that are just littering the search engines with useless information simply to manipulate search rankings but as soon as you open the doors to the SEO community and allow people play police officers it is only a matter of time before people abuse the heck out of a tool like this. I think something like this is very important though. There are too many businesses out there that really just infiltrate the search engines with complete rubbish that just clutters up everything for the websites that really trying to market and brand themselves the right way online. You see some of the freelance websites where businesses want 500 articles written. What on earth is that going to do for you? How about you write a few really good targeted articles and get them visible on some of your leading industry websites or forums. That will go much further than just trying to dump them all into the search engines hopping that your rankings will all of a sudden shoot through the roof. News flash, search engines are evolving and changing and that approach is seriously not that far away from being a very unimportant attempt in marketing a business or a website online.

The Montana Board of Regents of Higher Education approved some new program offerings at Montana State University-Northern during their November meeting.
"We think (this is a move in the right direction)," said Commissioner of Higher Education Richard Crofts. "Make the university more up-to-date, more marketable. It's an ongoing process of re-forming and restructuring the curriculum that we like to see happen."
Alex Capdeville, chancellor of Northern, said he thinks this could help with enrollment at the college which has been steady or declining over the last several years. Crofts said he thinks the new programs have a possibility of helping enrollment.
"None of these is single-handedly going to help enrollment," he added.
The regents approved the addition of a bachelor of science degree in industrial education with a teaching option, an associate of applied science degree in computer engineering technology and an associate of applied science degree in school business administration at Northern.
Capdeville said the industrial arts degree is an especially good move for Northern. He said it is similar program to one the institution used to offer in the past.
"It was a very successful program here at Northern when we had it," he said.
He said there is also a strong need for industrial technology teachers in Montana high schools, so the market for graduates of the program already exists. He said this gives Northern another opportunity to serve in education, providing both training for prospective teachers and filling the need for industrial tech teachers for the Montana schools.
"There's a real need for that here," he said. "It's a matter of focusing in on (those kinds of needs and opportunities.)"
He said the new computer technology degree is also an adjustment to meet modern needs, by focusing in on modern computer technology.
Crofts said the new programs are completely consistent with the mission and campus of Northern.
Capdeville said they are also working on several other new programs, some of which have been approved by the regents on the first reading and will be considered during their January meeting, some of which are in initial planning stages.
Some of these new programs include expanding, or creation of, nursing programs in Great Falls, Lewistown and Browning; expanding the education programs in Great Falls and at tribal colleges, setting up a master's cohort group in Helena, and having a water quality program in conjunction with the Helena College of Technology.
Capdeville said he has asked the faculty to look at other areas for possible addition of or alteration of programs, especially in areas where there are already faculty and programs or classes in place. He said some areas he is interested in considering new programs, but he's not sure the university is in a position to move on them yet.
"I don't know if we're at that area yet," he said. "We have to stabilize enrollment. Our desire is to grow. We have to have adequate students to do that."
One area Capdeville said he is interested in strengthening is the water quality program, which he said has a very strong potential with good job opportunities for its graduates, and is quite unique to the area.
Another area he said he would be interested in revisiting in the future would be technology programs such as woods, metals and manufacturing technologies. He said the new industrial technology program will require support in those areas anyway.
Capdeville said he is also open to revisiting areas in the arts and sciences that were cut or altered sometime in the future, once the enrollment decline is reversed.
Crofts said he doesn't think reviving those programs would be a good idea.
"I would hope they wouldn't do that," he said. "It seems to us those programs had reached a point of diminishing returns. I think they're so much better off than trying to revive those programs with virtually no students in them."

Thank you in advance

Ok great, I've seen the new ticket.
On the second post, second JIRA ticket, it's marked that the issue is fixed in 5.1.0M1. This means that the issue must be fixed in version 5.1? If not, best thing would be to update the ticket and ask whether the error has been corrected.
The Version 5.0.3 that also should solve the TDI-20111/TDI-19653 bug according to the ticket is nowhere to be found on the dowload page.
Just createt it (TDI-21163) http://jira.talendforge.org/browse/TDI-21163
This is very annoying because 5.1.0 fixed another annoying bug we reported some time ago. (TDI-20111 / TDI-19653)
Hi SimonK,
Sorry to hear that. Best thing would be to add an entry on the JIRA bugtracker to let everyone now about the issue: http://jira.talendforge.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa
We just upgraded to TOS for DI 5.1.0
No we cant find the context menu Item to Create the AutoDoc.
Is this a bug or has the feature moved to another place, where we can't find it.
Cool~ Good news for all of us!

Hi there,
I've modified the fields on login page, changing the 'company' field in create account to ask for the customers 'occupation' instead. This seemed to be a good alternative to attempting to add a new field for this entry.
However, I have only changed the name of the field so the term company is still scattered thoughout the code (things like ACCOUNT_COMPANY == 'true' and ENTRY_COMPANY). No problem for the login fields and the admin area but it is used in other areas, like the customers address. So, their address might read:
Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker
First and Last Name
City, Postal Code
State, Country
I've found code like this:
but I can't figure out where the info is called up from and where I could go in to change it so it doesn't display the occupation (company) in any page where the customer would view their address.Code:<address><?php echo zen_address_format($addresses['format_id'], $addresses['address'], true, ' ', '<br />'); ?></address>
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or is this work around pointless and there is actually an easy way to add extra fields to the login so I could create a real 'occupation' field and put 'company' back as it was?
Thanks for any advice!

Wilderness Designation
Congress can give public lands permanent protection by designating them as wilderness. A wilderness designation helps ensure treasured lands from coast to coast are protected for future generations.
Wilderness designation is the highest form of protection the government can give to a public land. No roads, vehicles or permanent structures are allowed in designated wilderness. A wilderness designation also prohibits activities like logging or mining.
Wilderness is designated through wilderness bills and through local, on-the-ground campaigns. The revolutionary Wilderness Act, introduced in 1964, gives Congress the power to protect a public land with a wilderness designation.
What is wilderness
Wilderness belongs to us. Protected wilderness has no roads, no development — it is our last unspoiled, natural refuge from the urban world. It's our job to make sure wilderness thrives for generations to come.
Why protect wilderness
Since the Wilderness Act passed in 1964, Congress has designated nearly 110 million acres of federal wildlands as official wilderness. Official wilderness has the highest form of protection of any federal wildland.
How we designate wilderness
We work with local grassroots coalitions on campaigns to build support for wilderness and other conservation designations, both on the local and congressional levels.
Issues and threats
There are persistent issues and threats related to wilderness, from fires to grazing. Because these issues each impact wilderness differently, they require individual analysis and attention.
Current campaigns and legislation
Every year, new and existing wilderness designation campaigns emerge to protect America's treasured wildlands.
Wilderness Act
The revolutionary 1964 Wilderness Act gave Congress the power to permanently protect public lands as wilderness.

Smart Steps to Establish a Responsible Program for Renewable Energy on Public Lands
Since its first day in office, the Obama Administration has made rapid and responsible expansion of renewable energy a top priority. The public lands have played a major role in achieving early goals, but only because of focused effort to correct decades of inattention and inactivity toward developing renewable energy as a major component of the nation's energy mix.
Expanding energy development to meet the growing needs of America must be balanced with protecting vital wild places.
The Wilderness Society has launched a new quarterly report "By The Numbers" to track how many acres of American land have been protected by Congress and the Executive branch, and how many acres have been leased out to energy development.

Publishers no longer dictate what games you get. You do.
July 18th, 2012
The promise of Kickstarter gaming keeps getting better. Although still to early to tell what kind of legacy it will leave, on the surface, it appears gamers may finally be able to largely bypass publishers for the games the market still isn't supplying.
Early this year, Tim Schaffer landed more than $2 million in crowd funding for a PC adventure game, which publishers had previously rejected to fund. All told, Schaffer and his team raised $3.3 million and hope to release the game later this year.
There are other recent successes as well. It's hard not to get excited about the upcoming Wastland 2, "the godfather of post-apocalyptic RPGs."
Or Ouya, the PC gamer's living room console. You know, an open one that can be moded, hacked, and it will sell for less than $100. A tantalizing supplement to the bigger games you already enjoy on your rig. In just 10 days, the thing raised $5 million from fans, fans who want their consoles to be something different. Not closed boxes.
Then there are projects like Clandenstine. Instead of starting with the game, they are doing a video series and if people like the series they will make a pc game. Vetting the cultural universe first, before developing a more costly game.
Whatever your take on Kickstarter, it's a great new way to get PC games the community wants developed. And it doesn't come at the expense of traditional PC gaming, which was and has always been open, even as it heads to new places.

Today's budget missed an opportunity to invest in infrastructure to create a sustainable economy for future generations, the state's peak environment group said today.
"It's time we factored environmental costs into state budgets. It might be fine to spend billions on new infrastructure, but if environmental impacts like carbon emissions and biodiversity loss are ignored, the costs to future generations will be enormous," Cate Faehrmann, executive director of the Nature Conservation Council of NSW said today.
"We are disappointed the budget did not include any climate change initiatives that will turn around the state's soaring greenhouse gas emissions.
"The NSW Government is talking up its spending on infrastructure, but we need to see where it has factored in the environmental footprint of these infrastructure projects, including any associated greenhouse emissions.
"Many clean energy technologies aren't receiving the support they need to operate at a meaningful scale where they can actually make a dent in greenhouse emissions. This budget once again failed to make a real difference in supporting renewable energy.
"With petrol prices almost certain to increase further, the government should be making a massive investment now for increased dependency on public transport.
"Overall, this budget will increase greenhouse gas emissions in NSW. Unchecked mineral exploration will increase the state's carbon footprint at a time when we should be doing everything we can to reduce it.
"Sydney's population is predicted to increase, so we need investment in water infrastructure, like recycling and rainwater tanks, to ensure that Sydney's water supply is sustainable and reliable in the long term. Expensive, environmentally damaging and unnecessary projects like Sydney's desalination plant and the Tillegra Dam in the Hunter should be dropped," Ms Faehrmann said.

Your organization is doing well, but in your heart you know its performing short of its potential.
You can't put your finger on exactly why your organization isn't leveraging every opportunity, though there are signs all around you.
Those signs might include: missed deadlines more often than you'd like; inconsistent quality; periodic morale issues; at times, upset customers. Teams aren't supporting and cooperating, they're competing against one another. It seems that sometimes employees just go through the motions.
Every day these issues are present, they cost you money. They also dampen the liveliness of your workforce.
These issues not only inhibit your organization's performance today, but they erode its ability to respond to market opportunities in the future.
Perhaps you have tried to reinvigorate the organization with team building, process improvements, or a renewed focus on goals and accountability.
The reality is that these actions usually don't make things better, because the underlying relationship you have with employees doesn't improve.
A Better Way
There is a better way to run your business – a way proven to consistently boost employee engagement and work passion . . . WOW your customers . . . and generate increased profits.
What is needed is a behavioral approach to culture creation. In the best work environments, good citizenship is as important as meeting deadlines and exceeding quotas. Clear performance standards must be reinforced through accountability for those standards. By stating your organizational values in observable, tangible, and measurable terms, you create values standards as clear as performance standards.
Chris Edmonds helps senior leaders identify and quantify their desired valued behaviors, then guides them to formalize these values in a written organizational constitution. The vital step: accountability for demonstrating valued behaviors daily in the organization.
Chris coaches senior leaders to model and champion these valued behaviors, then hold the organization's leaders and staff accountable for demonstrating desired valued behaviors.
Make the Call
Call Chris at (866) 576-9124 or (303) 569-4284, or use this form to schedule a free phone consultation. You and he will discuss how your organizational culture operates today – and how you'd like it to operate tomorrow.

Hi, my name is Liane Wright, It is a great honor for me to share my passion of photography.
I am a self taught photographer based out of Overland Park, Kansas. I am Focused, Committed and Passionate about my art. I create images from the many opportunities life has to offer. My works include, but not limited to Portraits, Landscape, Photo Manipulations, Modeling, and Fashion Photography. I have spent a lot of time and energy committing to this passion that has consumed me. I first started out in photography at the VA medical center many moons ago, in the Multimedia Production Services. That was a real joy, and a time when everything was done in the darkroom. I continue to seek new projects and style as I go along. Custom Digital Art Requests are welcomed. I welcome your thoughts, please contact me with any questions you may have.

There are two questions left about the book Term Structure: A graduate Course by Damir Filipovic, which bother me. The first one is about the Theorem, that the long rate never falls (p. 108). Why is the following equation true:
We have that $E_{Q^t}[P(t,T)|\mathcal{F}_s]=\frac{P(s,T)}{P(s,t)}$. We know that $P(s,T)=e^{-\int_s^Tf(s,u)du}$ and $P(s,t)=e^{-\int_s^tf(s,u)du}$. Therefore
$$(\frac{P(s,T)}{P(s,t)})^{\frac{1}{T}}=e^{-\frac{1}{T}\int_t^Tf(s,u)du}$$ I know that $\int_s^Tf(s,u)du=(T-s)R(s,T)$, but why is $\int_t^Tf(s,u)du=(T-s)R(s,T)$?
The second question is about the relationship between forward and future price on page 120/121. There they have stated the following equation
Why does $S(t)P(t,T)\rho(t)v(t,T)\le 0$ imply that the future price dominates the forward price. Somehow I must conclude that
$$(v(s,T)-\rho(s))v(s,T)\le 0$$
But I don't see how this is possible from the above assumption.

I have a longstanding interest in the history and future of infrastructure, especially mass transportation. If there is one topic certain to excite an outpouring of disdain from rail "foamers" and "busheads" alike, it is those buses disguised as fake trolleys. Railfans hate them because they are not what they are supposed to be – real light rail. And bus partisans don't like them because they are lousy buses. They are inferior to each of the genuine articles. And that's what we have running around Prospect Park.
Although it wouldn't help the Children's Museum, which might require a separate shuttle trolley, I have an alternative suggestion: a Prospect Park Horsecar. Horsecars -- streetcars pulled by horses -- were the original mass transit. In 1890, according to How We Got to Coney Island, Brooklyn's largest transit company, the Brooklyn City Railroad, had 142 miles of track for horsecars, 18 for experimental steam streetcars, and 20 for the newfangled electric streetcars. The firm had 815 closed horsecars (for winter), 714 open horsecars (for summer), and 5,500 horses. Brooklyn's first horsecar ran in 1854, and its last some 50 years later. Backward-looking newspapers led by the New York Times, according to this source, fought against the conversion from horses to electric streetcars. In any event, the horsecar era lasted as long as the electric trolley era, but is nowhere immortalized in our city or, for that matter, our country.
The re-creation of an electric trolley line would require expensive power and signal systems, and expensive-to-maintain electric cars. There are, moreover, electric trolley museums across the country, with the closest to New York in Branford, CT (and well worth a visit).
All a horsecar line would need, in contrast, is tracks set into the pavement and level with the road to allow automobiles to continue using the lane when the park was open tothem. The horses could be stored, and a car garage could be built, somewhere in or adjacent to the Prospect Park Zoo. The track could follow the innermost of the two park roadway lanes, as the trolley does. But it would exit the park in the Willink Entrance near the intersection of Flatbush, Ocean, and Empire, cross Flatbush Avenue, run up the east side of Washington Avenue in the bed of a little-used sidewalk adjacent to the Botanic Garden, run in barrier separate right of way on the south side of Eastern Parkway, and re-enter the park at Grand Army Plaza. It would thus serve all the destinations the trolley does save the Children's Museum -- Central Library, Art Museum, Botanic Garden, Zoo (a short walk up Flatbush), Picnic House, Bandshell, Skating Rink, Audubon Center, and Lefferts Homestead, along with the Brighton (B, Q), Culver (F, G?), and IRT (2, 3 museum stop) subway lines and frequent B41 and B68 buses.
The horsecar itself could be a visual reproduction of an original inside and out, but could use modern materials and equipment -- like a stainless steel undercarriage to save weight, and pneumatic fail-safe emergency brakes powered by charged canisters for safety. A ride on a horsecar in Prospect Park could be the poor man's version of a carriage ride in Central Park. And to make the service financially feasible, I would charge for it, but at a mass transit rate, not the carriage rate. The fare could be the same as the subway and bus fare, complete with the use of unlimited ride cards and free transfers, and the service could be operated by the MTA via the Transit Museum. A solar panel on the car roof could be used to charge a battery that was used to operate a bus-style Metrocard reader that also took coins. There could be also frequent user discounts -- for ice skaters, for example.
A fellow transit fan who liked this idea pointed out that in the early 1980's the village of Northport, LI, NY had a horsecar drawn by two horses that went all the way down Main Street and turned around by Woodbine Ave. This was on pre-existing trolley tracks in the street and was designed as a "tourist attraction". It only lasted about 2-3 summers and failed due to lack of patronage. The density in and around Prospect Park, however, is far higher than the density in Northport, and Brooklyn has become an international tourist destination. Integrated into the transit system, present on every transit map, I believe that horsecar rides could probably cover their operating costs, and would not require additional subsidies, once the capital costs were absorbed. In any event, a horsecar line would almost certainly cost less per rider than the current fake trolley.
How could the capital costs be funded? This is the sort of thing that is typically funded by "pork," by a Congressional earmark out of the state's federal transportation money. Needless to say, that is not what I would want. The last thing we need, given our high takes, is something cutesy like this competing with basic needs and services. Heck, I'd feel bad about wasting Ben and Gur's bandwidth with this whimsy, if it wasn't Labor Day weekend.
Perhaps the city could pay to have the pavement stripped and replaced around the track. Perhaps New York City Transit could donate used track panels, with tracks too worn to support a subway train but still sufficient for a single horsecar. It may be possible to partner with the NYC Transit Museum and the Transit Workers Union to engineer and install the tracks and operate the car. Certainly laying track outside with plenty of clearance, no third rail power, and no train traffic is a "walk in the park" compared to what track-workers usually have to do. Perhaps the winner of the state's politically-sensitive horse racing franchise, assuming that is ever resolved, the winner would show gratitude by building a small stable and donating four horses. Perhaps the horses could be kept by the zoo.
The system could also be built by local volunteers and donors, perhaps directed by volunteers from NYCT or related organizations and contactors. A heroic effort to re-create an electric trolley line in Brooklyn in this fashion has thus far fallen short, but as mentioned, a horsecar line would be a much simpler undertaking, particularly with institutional support.
And the car itself? If one didn't mind it being red, and having "Bud" painted on the side, perhaps Anheuser Busch would pay to have it built. And leading the inaugural run? Why the Clydesdales of course, for a TV commercial! If not Budweiser, perhaps some other company would sponsor the car, if it would make sense to have it in their commercials. Perhaps others would pay to have subway-style ads placed along the roof inside the car.
In summary, if the Brooklyn institutions are committed to coming up with a better idea for the Heart of Brooklyn Trolley, as indicated in the report, then they have my suggestion. The Center for An Urban Future report says the Brooklyn Children's Museum once had its own shuttle, and since it would be off the horsecar route, perhaps this would have to be re-created. Otherwise, however, I believe a horsecar line circling the park would be a destination in itself in a way that the tourist "trolley" never will be.
