"Not So Random Randomness" in Game Design and Programming
Nov 18 2013 05:40 AM | Posted By Carsten Germer
in Game Design
In game design there is a kind of love-hate relationship with randomness. On the one hand it allows for variety with many types of content, on the other hand one can't "design" true randomness. How about a technique that provides random outcomes but within parameters that can be influenced to fit the game design?

Using a "Leitner System" to Track a Player's Exposition to Content and Mechanics
Nov 15 2013 11:37 AM | Posted By Carsten Germer

Using flashcards with the "Leitner system" is typically used by students to learn vocabulary or other facts and pieces of information. Using this technique within computer games to track a players behavior and learning progress within a game system, a game can react and tune any dynamic gameplay, content exposition or usage of game mechanics.

Prototyping with Graphs

Before we start a process of prototyping the location in 3D, ussualy using tools from chosen engine it's good to illustrate our idea with graphs. Of course, it's possible to draw only a simple scheme on paper (what I personally practice) but that way we might miss mistakes we would find by making graphs.

The Dark Side of Iterative Design
Aug 11 2013 12:36 PM | Posted By Slaton White
in Game Design
The game development process involves a lot of work and sometimes it seems almost too much to take on. However, the key is to not take on an entire project at one time. You'll need to break it up into manageable chunks so that you can focus and work on those to a high polish and so you don't lose your mind. Iterative design, along with good organization, is one way of breaking a game project up...

Disposable Cutting Boards Twisted Brisket Competition BBQ Team was sick and tired of cleaning our cutting boards. We also weren't too impressed with the cardboard cutting boards everyone else on the KCBS Circuit is using. So, we set out to make something better - and we did! Made right here in Southern California, we have a food-grade, disposable & re-usable, 100% recyclable cutting board. But that's not all! It's on a roll, and is perforated for effortless use! |

Can your boards be used with an electric knife?
- Yes. If you are an aggressive "cutter" we recommend stacking a couple cutting boards together with a bit of water in between them to stick them together. Can a knife cut through the board? - Yes. If you intentionally try and cut through the board, you will. However, if you use it like a normal cutting board you won't. The depth of a slice in a standard cutting board is between 1 and 6 mils typically depending on how aggressive you are. Our boards are 12 mils thick, and will withstand normal knife usage. If you are an aggressive "cutter" we recommend stacking a couple cutting boards together with a bit of water in between them to stick them together. Can I use your boards on granite and not harm my knife? - Yes. Just like a normal cutting board, the material we use will protect your knife under normal use. If I buy multiple rolls can I get a discount? - Yes. PM me and we can work out a deal.

Just for fun, I did another version with lyrics of old English Christmas Carols done up in a fancy pants old English font.
I made a PDF for both that you are welcome to use at home using any letter sized piece of paper you can fit in your printer. Click here to view the PDF.
I am weird about tape. I dislike the transparent stuff. For wrapping presents, I like to use double-stick to seal from the inside (hems folded, obv), or I like brightly colored tape to accent the presentation, or, I'll use labels. Address labels are dirt cheap and work great for this purpose. Labels these days are great for so much more than envelopes!
So, I gave you are starting point but that's no reason why you can't make your own. If you can work a Word doc you can make these any which way you like. Have fun!

3) The diminutive of the pale, a narrow vertical strip, usually borne in groups of two or three. - miznelliebellieFebruary 9, 2013 at 8:07 AM
Love the idea of using address labels...especially printed! Brilliant! I keep covering my clear tape with washi tape. Cute labels would be so much more efficient! As usual...you rock!
ReplyDelete So simple and so pretty; thank you for the pdf! I confess, I once bought a book of Christmas carol sheet music from a charity shop and photocopied the bejesus out of it to use as gift-wrapping, paper ribbons and handmade Christmas cards. Have I been able to locate it this year? As my Nan used to say: "have I 'eck as like."

Great Unit, not made in USA

Most of the reviews for this product on other sites stated that it was made in the USA. This one is made in China. Great unit, but I didn't see anywhere that it was made in China before I bought it.

Screen Play Apps of the Week for Black Friday and Cyber Monday!
November 22, 2012
© Stock Xchng
If you have the energy to hit the stores on Friday - or in many cases this year, Thursday night - you want to be prepared with the best apps to get you in and out of the stores (or websites) with the biggest savings possible. There are so many incredible sales to take advantage of, but wading through the circulars at the store is not a good strategy, especially since supplies are limited for a lot of these deals and steals. Be ready to face the crowds with these great apps for Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the rest of the holiday shopping season.
Local Sales, Black Friday Deals & Holiday Shopping
Cost: FREE
Despite the long name, this app is a great one for scouring the local deals and sales in your area. You simply type in your zip code and it automatically pulls up all the great savings to be had in your own area.
Black Friday Survival Guide
Cost: FREE
A survival guide is the perfect term for what you need on this crazy shopping day. This app lets you preview store circulars and ads, search for deals by category and even create shopping lists so you know exactly what to look for.
Amazon Price Check
Cost: FREE
When you're standing in front of that big ticket item and aren't really sure if what you're seeing is a good deal, use the Amazon Price Check app to see what this megasite is selling it for. The app can scan the barcode, take a photo or even listen to you say the product name to pull it up.
TGI Cyber Monday
Cost: FREE
Cyber Monday has become just as big, if not, bigger than Black Friday. With thousands of deals to be had online, this Cyber Monday-specific app is a great way to keep track of all the steals and deals on the Internet.
Cost: FREE
Wouldn't it be great to get rewarded for all this shopping you're doing? Shopkick is a free app that gives you rewards (or "kicks") for shopping in their stores, even for walking in! Major stores like Target, Old Navy, Toys 'R Us, Best Buy and more are all part of Shopkick's rewards system. You get kicks for visiting stores and even more kicks for making purchases. The kicks can be redeemed for prizes like store credit, iTunes gift cards, movie tickets and more.
If you have an app that you'd like considered for Screen Play, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Recipe by Jan Taylor
Watch video tips and tricks
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons hot water
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 tablespoon shortening
1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/4 cups water
3 eggs
This is a great recipe. I substituted creamy peanut butter for the peanut butter chips and it still came out fantastic. Thanks for the recipe!
This cake was very dry. I may have done something wrong because other reviewers really loved it. I didn't like it at all but some other people at the picnic said it was pretty good.
73 Ratings
This cake is SO GOOD! I made 2 round layers with peanut butter frosting and mini chocolate chips on top and in between the layers. For the frosting I used pre-made cream cheese frosting mixed with natural peanut butter. I also used natural peanut butter in the recipe instead of peanut butter chips. Everyone at my husbands birthday party said it tasted just like a Reeses peanut butter cup - yum!
I made this for my Dad's birthday, and it was a hit! He requested a peanut butter chocolate cake...and this is what I thought would work. It's definitly peanut butter chocolatey..and VERY MOIST! One suggestion...since it doesn't call for a certain frosting...I would recommend adding butter cream frosting to another peanutbutter-chip-and-shortning-mixture. Then, after you frost it..sprinkle chocolate chips and your leftover peanut butter chips on top. That's what I did. Enjoy!
Excellent. I made this for my son's birthday, at his request. The cake is moist and dense - just the way we like it. I baked it in a bundt pan for 1 hour, frosted with pb frosting and decorated with mini choc chips and chopped peanut butter cups. Thanks for the recipe - I see a repeat in our future. ;)
This cake is wonderful! I substituted 1 cup creamy peanut butter for the pb chips and shortening. I baked it in a bundt pan at 350 degrees for one hour and served it with the Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting recipe from this site. Moist and delicious!
Hmm . . this was a keeper! My hubby couldn't find just peanut butter chips so he got the Toll House chocolate and peanutbutter chips. This was fabulous. Oh, be careful b/c water is not listed on the ingredients, but is listed in the recipe. I had to add water after dividing the chocolate and peanutbutter parts.
This recipe is awesome!! I will definitely be making it again. It has a great flavor and is nice and moist.

here's my take on this Hut. I bought it and very pleased with it. The only problem is,and it's really not a problem with the product itself is, since I fish early ice and late ice I can not use it as often as I would like to. The problem is the weight, you really can't pull it by hand and since I can't go out with my Atv or Sled it becomes useless to me during this time but other than that it's a great portable
January 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by ReviewerChris Great purchase
I bought this shelter early in the season as not to miss out this year. After doing a lot of research on all the brands of shelters this one had everything for the best price. They really out did themselves on this one with the removable windows, the vent system that will not blow closed because of the separator that velcro's it open, the deep sled that will hold all the gear and my Jiffy 10" auger fits in complete, their amazing Frabill seats which fold and come out very easily. When erected and poles are set in place you can tell it will hold up to strong winds with ease, and you can't beat all the room you have no need to flip it open for extra room with a fish coming out of the hole. It is a heavy shelter at 140 pounds defiantly not something you want to pull by hand. I have had two cheaper shelters of different makes in the past and both have failed me, once leaving my daughter and me very cold due to a split zipper. You know what they say you get what you pay for. The only thing I wish they would correct with this shelter is the instructions; some of the diagrams are missing and hard to follow. If you look in the French section you can find some of the diagrams but not all. If they made a video and posted it on their website I think it would be much easier for all to follow. The hut so far for me is a five star but because of the instructions I gave it a 4. Oh, I almost forgot even the cover for this shelter is nicely planned out; it has a zippered section also with buttons so you can get at your gear, e.g. to get your auger out and check for depth without having to take the hole cover off. Well I hope you found this helpful as I always read them but had found none yet for this shelter. Good luck to all in the upcoming hard water season, see ya on Simcoe hopefully soon!!

Water Science: Students study in Trammel Creek
(click title for the Bowling Green Daily News article)
Instead of learning about science at their desks, elementary school students performed experiments while wading in Trammel Creek last week as part of an annual program that continues this week. The program is a partnership between WKU's Center for Environmental Education and Sustainability and the General Motors Bowling Green Assembly Plant. Terry Wilson, director of the center, has been running the program for the six years it's been in Bowling Green.

On December 2, 1995, the hockey world changed for both Patrick Roy and the Montreal Canadiens in what was supposed to be another Saturday night game at The Forum.
At home to face the Detroit Red Wings, the Habs played their worst home game in franchise history, losing in a 12-1 blowout.
Roy was kept in goal by then head coach Mario Tremblay for the first nine goals, and the Forum fans jeered him when he made an easy save.
Embarrassed, Roy raised his hands in mock celebration. When he was finally pulled, he stormed past Tremblay and told team president Ronald Corey that he had played his last game in bleu, blanc et rouge.
"It's my last game in Montreal," he said.
Roy later told the Montreal media that Tremblay had humiliated him by leaving him in net after he gave up five first-period goals on 17 shots and was taking abuse from the Forum faithful. He added that he would not have asked to be traded if the new coach (hired in place of Jacques Demers) hadn't forced him to go back on the ice for the second period.
Canadiens defenceman Mathieu Dandenault, who played in that infamous game as a rookie for the Red Wings, remembered it well. "I did not think that it was so serious, that it would involve the trading of Patrick Roy," he told RDS.ca.
"It was surprising."
Roy's dislike of his former teammate-turned coach reportedly preceded the Detroit game, as the two were also involved in arguments at practice. Tremblay also criticized Roy during his years as a sports-talk radio host.
Four days after the incident at The Forum, Roy was traded to the Colorado Avalanche with captain Mike Keane in exchange for young netminder Jocelyn Thibault and forwards Martin Rucinsky and Andrei Kovalenko.
With Roy minding the net behind a powerhouse lineup that included Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg, the Avalanche won their first Stanley Cup the following June and again in 2001. A member of Canada's Olympic team in 1998, Roy also grabbed headlines in the 2000-01 season when he passed Terry Sawchuk in career wins.
By contrast, it took years for the Canadiens to recover from the deal.
Kovalenko's stay in Montreal was short-lived and the winger was later traded to Edmonton for Scott Thornton. Rucinsky enjoyed three straight 50+ point seasons in Montreal, but struggled later with a club that failed to make the playoffs for three straight seasons. He was traded to the Dallas Stars with Benoit Brunet in 2001 in a deal that brought forwards Donald Audette and Shaun Van Allen to the Canadiens.
Thibault enjoyed early success with the Habs, but struggled in his second season with the club, prompting the Habs to sign veteran Andy Moog for the 1997-98 campaign. Thibault was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks the following season in a six-player deal for netminder Jeff Hackett, and it wasn't until the 2001-2002 season that the Canadiens finally had a bonafide No. 1 goalie in Hart and Vezina Trophy winner Jose Theodore.
Now retired and leading the QMJHL's Quebec Remparts as head coach and general manager, Roy has clearly moved on. But he does relish more chances to return to the Canadiens on good terms.
"I would like to go in the Bell Centre more often, but I am always afraid of the reactions," Roy told RDS.ca. "I am always afraid to see how certain people will react because of that game.
Unfortunately, I must live with that. It created barriers which should not have existed."
Files from RDS.ca were used for this feature.

When police officer Julia Burney learned that most of the children in the neighborhood she patrolled had no books to read, she started handing out books from her squad car. That simple idea grew into the Cops-N-Kids Reading Program and Center — it also inspired two cities to join forces to reach thousands of children.
To find out how you can contact Cops-N-Kids Reading Program, click here. Sharon Sayles Belton, Mayor of the City of Minneapolis "I just want to say, "thank you" for bringing Julia Burney's program to our attention. In Minneapolis and St. Paul, on an unprecedented basis, we're coming together to make this type of program work — two mayors, two fire departments, two police departments — all working together to make sure that our children are able to read." Minneapolis Firefighter Rob Sayers "We've given out about 20,000 books. We actually have given books to children that have never had a book before. You never know what a child may read that may motivate them." St. Paul Police Sgt. Mamie Singleton "It has been a known fact that the police are not well loved and the program by giving kids books as gifts has broken that tension between the two. It makes [children] feel as though, 'This is my police officer here.' You almost feel like a celebrity especially when the kids ask you, 'Would you autograph the book?'" St. Paul Assistant Fire Chief Tony Carter "We'll usually autograph the book 'Happy reading' or something encouraging. And it's very fulfilling for us." Minneapolis Firefighter Charles E. Rucker "It's a positive experience for [kids]. They see a positive black man in the community. And if they see me in the community, they can go ahead and see what they can do with their life." Minneapolis Firefighter Rob Sayers "Julia Burney actually really made me realize that one person really does make a difference."

Our response to Sharon Bowles
15 October 2012
Last week, the Guardian newspaper published a letter from the World Development Movement's director Deborah Doane which raised concerns about the suitability of Sharon Bowles MEP, candidate for the new governor of the Bank of England, because of what we see as her support for 'light touch' regulation of the financial sector.
Sharon Bowles replied via the Guardian noting that a member of her staff has met with a World Development Movement (WDM) staff member, and that she doesn't have sufficient time in her diary to entertain all meetings that are requested of her.
While she is correct that a member of her staff has met with a WDM staff member in Brussels, we would like to stress why we felt this was inadequate. First, we are a movement-based democratic organisation, with 16,000 members and supporters, alongside a network of over 50 local groups. Members of 11 of our local groups* in the south east of England, where Ms Bowles has her constituency, have contacted her a number of times in the past year about food speculation. This is an issue on which Ms Bowles has significant influence as the chair and only UK Liberal Democrat member of the European parliament's economic and monetary affairs (ECON) committee. Despite contact from each of the groups and offers from WDM to coordinate, they have been disappointed that requests to meet with her as their elected representative have been repeatedly declined.
At the same time, we are aware that Ms Bowles has had a significant number of direct meetings with the finance sector and financial lobbyists, and that her staff have had significantly more. WDM and our allies have previously exposed the undue access that the finance sector has to politicians and regulators alike and we remain concerned that voices which represent the public interest are marginalised.
WDM members and activists are concerned about the way in which speculation by banks and other financial institutions is distorting food and other commodity prices and contributing to price spikes. We are calling for caps, known as 'position limits', on the number of contracts speculators can hold.
By contrast, the UK government and financial sector lobbyists have been calling for a weaker form of self-regulation known as position management. Position management is used currently in the UK, and has failed to prevent even clear cases of food price distortion by speculators, such as when hedge fund Armajaro bought up the entire European cocoa supply. Armajaro pushed prices to a 33 year high and caused other traders to threaten to move to better regulated exchanges in the US.
In correspondence to WDM and our supporters as recently as August, Ms Bowles has repeatedly stated her support for the weaker position management. We are pleased to see that she and her colleagues in the Liberal Democrat (ALDE) group in the European Parliament have recently supported a compromise text which was agreed by the ECON committee last month, after having previously argued on numerous occasions against position limits being mandated. However, while the new text does require the limits on speculation that Ms Bowles says she now supports, the text is still far from adequate, leaving significant loopholes and exemptions.
There is a vote on the proposals for all MEPs next week in the European Parliament, and members of her constituency would still welcome a meeting to explain their views.

Comfortably Numb
Praise or Punishment?
Ok, so my 12 year-old daughter plays left defense on an all-boy pee wee "B" team out of Iron Mountain. They had two games against Escanaba today, and waxed them both times. Her team is good, they won the state tourney last year, and are going down-state again this week. This pisses off Escanaba to on end, and it shows. My daughter was the target of a couple of her opponents today, but she never backed down, repeatedly owning the opposing forwards, drawing a borading and a roughing penalty, and just making things tough for the opposing forwards. I could see she was loving it. However, in the post-game handshake line, she whacked some kid's stick out of his hand then punched him in the face. She wasn't seen by the officials, but was by her coach. He should have addressed the sportsmanship aspect of it, but didn't. I'm secretly proud of my kid for not taking crap from anyone, but don't want her to think I "approve" of such behavior. I was much worse when I played.
So...do I praise her, or punish her? Both, niether, or a little of each?

When I played hockey I was punished for be having bad sportsmanship afterwords at home. My parents didn't make a scene in public of it, but I did learn a lesson out of all of it...don't get caught

Comfortably Numb
That's what I thought. We just had a little chat about it. Let her know I have no problem with her actions during the game, but that she crossed the line of bad sportsmanship after. She agrees, and knows that her team relies on her to be there when it counts, not suspended. She told me sahe'll appologize to her coach, that makes me feel good.
The future goon with her fav NMU player.

Balls Deep
I had rather poor sportsmanship all through my competitive years. I wish now that I would have handled it better. I'm not saying I was wrong, just that it would have served me better. Biggest problem I had, was that early on, apparently I developed a reputation, and all the local ref's hated me. I was never able to overcome that locally. I almost always had better away games, because I wasn't in the box for bullshit calls from our local ref squad. There was no real substance to most calls, and I was one of the least goonish players, I just expected fair calls and never got them, especially at home.
I blame myself for not knowing better, and our malfunctioning school system that pushes fairness as a real thing. Nothing is ever "fair", and I didn't accept that, as I was taught otherwise, especially in regards to anything with a sanctioning/governing body. I hope she doesn't fall into that trap, and expect fairness in sports or life. Also, referees don't like to be called out when they are wrong. They get embarrassed and throw you in the box for unsportsmanlike conduct instead of admitting error. My sister played at NMU for a few seasons as captain or assistant IIRC. Now she is coaching some team downstate. |

Fucking Zen as Shit
Told by principal that wasn't nice, but given circumstances was letting it slide. Parents didn't want him riding the bus the rest of the year Had to apologize because busting someones face up was wrong, but was also told that it was good i stood up to them. My take, tell her in the confines of the game that was an unsportsman like move and not to do it again. Then tell her good job and go get ice cream. |

Someday, yeah Someday
If the coach is doing nothing and the Ref's didn't see it.................it didn't happen.
However, prepare her for the next time she plays that team, that she will probably take a huge hit or worse. Kids tend to work these things out. Its usually us adults that screw everything up in youth hockey. I tell my boy, if he takes an uncalled for hit that the ref's dont see..........just put the puck in the net where it hurts them the most. |

Kitten I'm gonna eat you!
Its Escanaba. Tell her don't punch like a girl next time. Tell her "Daddy will take her to the meat locker and show her how to do a proper punch." Then send her out on the ice.

Gibson Guitars:
Gibson product info!
I just wanted to let you know that my new Custom D-18 SS guitar was well worth the wait. It plays great and sounds wonderful. The ambertone finish looks great too. The sound is as good or better than my D-45. The short scale is not that much different, but I can tell the fingering and playing on the two guitars are slightly different. I guess the slightly different nut widths makes a little difference. The mahogany is really lighter than the rosewood.
. I am really pleased with the customer service at My Favorite Guitars too. I would like to thank you and Sharon for your help. I might be ready to order another guitar before long, if I can talk Susie into it. I will have to lay low for a while and not push my luck though.
Thanks again,
-- Terry J. Cline
I am absolutely amazed at the sound and quality of this guitar. I received it 18 Feb. and have hardly put it down. The upcharge from sitka to Adi was totally worth every dime. It is almost impossible to overdrive this D-18 and the resonance and single note clarity is beyond excellent.
For Travis style, fingerstyle or flatpicking, it excels. It is superior to the D-21 Special I purchased from you, previously. Never thought I would say that. But it's good to have a rosewood and a mahogany dread. As the word on this new model D-18 gets out, Martin will need extra shifts to keep up! I know there are more expensive mahogany D's out there, but this one far exceeds my playing ability. Thanks for a pleasant buying experience and a life time keeper guitar.
Best regards
-- Joe M.
Jon & Sharon,
Just a brief note to say how incredibly happy I am with your Custom 00-28V. In addition to your great service and willingness to work with me to get the deal right, the guitar you sent turns out to be just about the finest new custom Martin Ive had (and Ive had a few, as your records along will show). This amazing guitar is head and shoulders above most of the guitars my friends and I have A/Bd against it. Youve got a real winner here and I consider myself fortunate to now own one.
It's a Keeper!
My best,
-- Jim M.
Jon and Sharon,
Well done again. I got my 000-17M in great time and condition. I am looking forward to many hours of playing. Thank you for everything. I look forward to my next purchase with you.

Benjamin Ryan "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, Jr. (August 11, 1847 – July 3, 1918), was an American politician who served as the 84th Governor of South Carolina, from 1890 to 1894, and as a United States Senator, from 1895 until his death in office. Tillman's outspoken support for white supremacy and lynch law provoked national controversy. He is also notable for his promotion of legislation to restrict funding of political campaigns. The first federal campaign-finance law, banning corporate expenditures in campaigns, is commonly called the Tillman Act, Senator Tillman having been its lead sponsor.
Tillman was a member of the Democratic Party. Tillman also served on the first Board of Trustees at Clemson University after assisting with its founding.[1]
Early life and education[edit]
Tillman was born Benjamin Ryan Tillman, Jr. to parents of English descent—Sofia Ann Hancock and Benjamin Ryan Tillman, Sr. He was born on August 11, 1847 in the Edgefield District, near Trenton, South Carolina.[2] From an early age young Ben showed a developed vocabulary and a strong literary interest.[3] However, the coming of the Civil War caused him to leave school at the age of seventeen in July 1864 to join the Confederate States Army.[4] Six days after leaving school, however, as he was walking home after a three hour-swim in a mill pond, Tillman was attacked by violent pains in his left eye. He had developed an abscess in the left eye socket caused by bacteria and which eventually required removal of the left eye.[5] Thus, he never fought for the Confederacy.
During Reconstruction, he became a paramilitary fighter in the struggle to overthrow the Republican coalition in the state. He was present at the Hamburg Massacre in July 1876, during which a federal militia was overthrown and its arms seized by a group of armed citizens led by Tillman's fellow "Red Shirts".[6]
It was at the Hamburg Massacre of 1876 that Ben Tillman came of age. As the commander of Edgefield County's Sweetwater Sabre Club, a paramilitary unit dedicated to terrorizing Republican officeholders in South Carolina, the 29-year-old Tillman, with his red-shirted troopers, participated in the Hamburg Riot on July 8, an occasion marked by the murder of a number of black militiamen who had conducted a celebratory parade through the mostly black town of Hamburg, South Carolina, four days earlier. As Tillman himself would later put it, "The leading white men of Edgefield" had decided "to seize the first opportunity that the Negroes might offer them to provoke a riot and teach the Negroes a lesson" by "having the whites demonstrate their superiority by killing as many of them as was justifiable." None of the perpetrators of the Hamburg murders were ever brought to justice.
Tillman's role in the Hamburg Riot established him as a leading figure in the white supremacist movement. His involvement, about which he boasted constantly in future years, was the cornerstone upon which he would build his political career, first as governor of South Carolina and then, for 24 years, as a United States senator.[7]
The Hamburg Massacre had established Tillman as a leader of the white supremacists of his community. He parlayed this local popularity into a wider notoriety by attending the 1876 State Democratic Convention, which nominated Wade Hampton III as the Democratic candidate for governor of South Carolina.[8] In November 1876, in an election that was fraught with violence and voter fraud, the Democrats of Edgefield were able to suppress the Republican/African American majority of several thousand in Edgefield County, producing a 3,134 Democratic/white majority vote from the county in favor of Hampton.[9] Bolstered by this vote from Edgefield, Wade Hampton was able to eke out a narrow victory of only 1,134 votes state-wide.[9] Thus, in 1876, the Republican Reconstruction government was ended and white supremacy was established in South Carolina. Jim Crow laws, which would be passed over the next few years, would assure that no further African American political leaders would be elected in South Carolina for a century.
The almost total suppression of the African American vote in South Carolina, allowed a subtle breach in the white vote to become apparent. This split in the white vote was based on economic class lines. Starting with the election of Hampton as governor in 1876, South Carolina fell under the rule of the wealthy "Bourbon" or "aristocratic" classes which had been in control of the state prior to the Civil War. However, in the 1880s, the Bourbon class was neither as strong nor as populous as it had been before the Civil War. The Bourbon class was largely based in the Lowcountry area, or the lowlands along the coast of South Carolina. Lowcountry agriculture was largely dominated by large rice-growing plantations. However, by 1883, rice prices had fallen to about one-third of what they had been previously.[10] Charleston, the commercial center of the Lowcountry, fell into a relative decline. West of the Lowcountry of South Carolina was the Piedmont area. In earlier times, the inland area of the Piedmont was dominated by large plantations which raised cotton. However, since the Civil War, continuous cotton cropping of the land of the Piedmont and the use of commercial fertilizers had stripped the soil of the Piedmont of all nutrients and cotton yields had fallen dramatically.
The area west of the Piedmont of South Carolina was known as the "upcountry" section. Composed of rolling hills, the upcountry was composed of small farms operated by individual farm families. These small farmers were the other part of emerging fissure in the white vote during the 1880s. These small farmers saw the Bourbon rule of the state government as being against their own interests. Along with the large landowning interests of the Lowcountry, the small farmers of the upcountry blamed the merchants, bankers and the railroads for their poor economic condition.[11] Consequently, the term "Bourbon" came to include the both the railroads and bankers and merchants from all areas of the state. These groups were seen as antithetical to the interests of the small farmers of the upcountry. Presenting himself as the friend of ordinary white farmers, "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman became the champion of these small farmers and the upcountry became his strong base of support in the State of South Carolina. Tillman's support for measures that would aid the small farmer, as opposed to the Bourbons, became the essence of what was to be called "Tillmanism."
The National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry was the first real organization that tried to aid the farmer in solving his economic problems. The Panic of 1873 caused additional hardship for the small farmers of the upcountry. Between 1872 and 1875, many South Carolina farmers joined the Grange and participated in the co-operative program of buying and selling that the Grange established. These farmers also joined the Grange in agitating for state regulation of the railroads.[12]
Reading about the modern ideas in farming, Ben Tillman came to recognise that the farmers of the upcountry needed to break with the agricultural practices of the ante-bellum period, wherein most of "our lands...are going down the river and rapidly deteriorating in intrinsic value by false farming."[13] Tillman realized that there was a great need for education of ordinary farmers in the methods of modern farming. He put his ideas for agricultural reform in articles that he wrote for Southern Cultivator and other agricultureal magazines.[14] One of Tillman's ideas for the education of the farmers attracted the attention of some influential people of the state. One of his ideas was for an agricultural college to be established in South Carolina. One of the people interested by the concept of a separate state college dedicated to agricultural research and education of farmers was Thomas G. Clemson. Clemson was the son-in-law of John C. Calhoun and was quite wealthy. When he died on April 2, 1888, Clemson left a cash endowment of $80,000 and the 814-acre Calhoun estate, called Fort Hill, to a board of lifetime trustees for the establishment of the proposed agricultural college. The agricultural school became known as Clemson College (later Clemson University) and Thomas Clemson's will appointed Tillman as one of the lifetime trustees of the new agricultural school.[15]
Another attempt by Tillman to educate farmers was his founding of the South Carolina Farmers Association and he campaigned across the state giving speeches on behalf of the Farmers Association.[16] The Farmers Association also became the major vehicle by which Tillman became a political power in South Carolina.
Governor of South Carolina[edit]
Benjamin Tillman's campaign on behalf of the South Carolina Farmers Association advanced his political power and influence in South Carolina. A quarrel between Wade Hampton and one of his lieutenants—Johnson Hagood—led to the election of Hagood and the defeat of Tillman.[17] The change in the governor's office, however, did not signify a change in the Bourbon rule of South Carolina.
Ben Tillman's skills as a rabble rousing orator had become apparent during a speech he made at the ninth annual joint session of the State Grange and the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society held at the courthouse in Bennettsville, South Carolina on August 5, 1885.[18] Tillman's speech along with the resolutions in favor of aid to the small farmers "electified" the convention.[19] According to the Columbia "Daily Register" the speech "was the sensation of the meeting. Almost every sentence was responded to with prolonged applause."[19]
In January 1886, Tillman wrote a letter of address to the farmers of South Carolina, who Tillman said comprised 76% of the state's population.[20] The letter invited farmers to attend a convention in Columbia on April 29, 1886 which would address the problems of farmers in the state and attempt to solve their problems. In response, county conventions were held on April 5, 1886 to elect delegates to the state convention. On April 29, the state-wide "Farmers Convention" was attended by some 300 delegates from across the state.[21] The "Farmers Convention," as it became known, was the first state-wide meeting of the Farmers Association. Once again Tillman's speeches provided most of the excitement. Tillman was dubbed the "Agricultural Moses." It was said that, like Moses of old, Tillman was willing to die before he reached the "Promised Land."
Tillman as Governor[edit]
The Farmers' Convention was the first move in the political campaign of 1886. Tillmanites did not yet have the control over the Democratic Party of South Carolina that they later obtained. Consequently, Tillman was unable to obtain the Democratic Party nomination for governor himself through the convention nominating system in 1886. Thus, he sought merely to influence whom the party chose for the gubernatorial nomination by supporting the least objectionable candidate.[22]
Hugh S. Thompson had been elected governor in 1882, succeeding Johnson Hagood. Elected as lieutenant governor with Thompson in 1882 was John C. Sheppard.[23] In 1886, Thompson had resigned, making Sheppard governor. Now Sheppard was running for a full term as governor in the election of 1886. Running against Sheppard was John P. Richardson, whose family had supplied South Carolina with four governors in its history. Accordingly, Richardson was not expected to be an agent of the change that Tillman was seeking. Thus, Tillman supported Sheppard in 1886; however, Sheppard lost the nomination to Richardson.
Tillman was elected Governor of South Carolina in 1890, and served from December 1890 to December 1894. As governor, Tillman finished establishing Clemson College and also created Winthrop College. The Tillman Halls on both campuses are named in his honor.
The Southern Farmers Alliance began as a national organization in the early 1880s.[24] However, the Farmers' Alliance established itself in South Carolina in 1888, where it became a rival of Tillman's Farmers Association organization. When the Alliance founded the Populist Party based on the Ocala Demands, Tillman arranged for the South Carolina Democratic Party to adopt parts of the platform which dealt with the free coinage of silver, a Federal income tax and a repeal of the tax on the circulations of state banks. All of these measures were solid progressive measures that placed Tillman among the "progressives" of his time. However, Tillman refused to endorse government ownership of the railroads or the "Sub-treasury Plan." The Sub-treasury Plan was the Populist Party's most ambitious economic proposal.[25] A form of the sub-Treasury Plan would eventually be enacted in the form of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Of course, Tillman refused to countenance any appeal to black voters. The strategy prevented the development of an independent Populist Party in South Carolina and prevented any attempt at the biracial politics like that of North Carolina. Thus, white control of South Carolina was assured via the dominant, white Democratic Party.
Tillman was largely responsible for calling the State constitutional convention in 1895 that disfranchised most of South Carolina's black men and required Jim Crow laws. As Tillman proudly proclaimed in 1900, "We have done our level best [to prevent blacks from voting] ... we have scratched our heads to find out how we could eliminate the last one of them. We stuffed ballot boxes. We shot them. We are not ashamed of it." (Logan, p. 91)
In 1892, a group of Tillman's supporters in Abbeville, South Carolina, prepared a banner anointing the governor the "Champion of White Men's Rule and Woman's Virtue". Earlier that year, Tillman had coupled a statement opposing lynching with a declaration that he would "willingly lead a mob in lynching a Negro who had committed an assault upon a white woman." His "lynching pledge", as this promise became known, was never personally carried out, but it reveals a great deal about Tillman's rhetorical and political strategy. The black man, in Tillman's words, "must remain subordinate or be exterminated". An epidemic of mob killings broke out in South Carolina in the 1890s, and in the upcountry counties of Abbeville, Edgefield, Laurens and Newberry, lynchings outnumbered legal executions during that decade.[7]
U.S. Senate[edit]
Tillman was elected to the United States Senate in 1894, succeeding Senator Matthew Butler, who had also been directly involved in the Hamburg Massacre. Tillman would be re-elected three more times, and would hold office from 1895 to his death in 1918. A hotheaded and intemperate debater, Tillman became known as "Pitchfork Ben" after an 1896 Senate speech in which he "won the voters' hearts by announcing his determination to go to Washington and plunge a pitchfork into the rump of President Grover Cleveland."[26]
In 1901, after President Theodore Roosevelt dined in the White house with Booker T. Washington, Senator Tillman said, "The action of President Roosevelt in entertaining that nigger will necessitate our killing a thousand niggers in the South before they learn their place again." [27]
During his Senate career, he was censured by the Senate in 1902 after assaulting John L. McLaurin, another Senator and his counterpart from South Carolina.[28] As a result, the Senate added to its rules the provision that "No senator in debate shall, directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator."[29] He was also barred from the White House.[30]
He became the chairman of the Committee on Revolutionary Claims (57th through 59th Congresses); served on the Committee on Five Civilized Tribes of Indians (61st and 62nd Congresses); and the Committee on Naval Affairs (63rd through 65th Congresses). During World War I, impatient with the Navy's requests for larger battleships every year, he ordered the United States Navy to design "maximum battleships," the largest battleships that they could use.
Tillman took the lead in railroad regulation, though his foe, Republican President Theodore Roosevelt outmaneuvered him in passage of the Hepburn Act of 1906. Tillman was the primary sponsor of the Tillman Act, the first federal campaign finance reform law, which was passed in 1907 and banned corporate contributions in federal political campaigns.
Later life and death[edit]
Tillman died in office in Washington, D.C. on July 3, 1918, and is buried in Ebenezer Cemetery, Trenton, South Carolina. A statue of Tillman was erected in 1940 outside the South Carolina State House.[31]
Personal life[edit]
Tillman was the younger brother of George Dionysius Tillman (1826–1902), a U.S. Representative from South Carolina, who served from 1879 to 1893 (with one interruption).

The Generation Gap
Use of open-source software is mushrooming with the use of Linux. The benefits of open source are becoming more widely known—software quality is improved from peer-review, and future risk is reduced if the source is available.
Open-source projects depend on contributions by motivated, talented developers. Big, important projects like Linux attract many contributors; a project for a software development tool may interest a variety of software developers; UNIX systems gurus contribute to projects for Internet tools. However, a project for software that identifies butterflies may not attract much interest, and the only people who are going to contribute to a project for a company's accounts receivable system are those who are paid to do so. Not all software benefits equally from being open source.
The development of closed-source software will continue. As Eric Raymond observes in "The Magic Cauldron", some applications (as opposed to operating systems and utilities) can be good candidates for being closed-source. The owner of an application may find more benefit in the software being secret and/or rentable than being open source, at least for a while.
It may be undesirable for the source of a homegrown business system to be open, because it reveals so much about the business's procedures and capabilities. A company may want to keep the source of its business systems confidential.
The owner of an application may want to keep the source closed so that the software can be rented (i.e., licensed for money). Many applications are developed only when someone believes they can make money renting them.
While the benefits of open source are becoming more widely appreciated, closed-source software will continue to be developed.
Closed-source applications can benefit from using open-source components.
Applications generally make use of pre-existing software components. Almost all programs use general-purpose function libraries that come with compilers. Many applications provide a front end using a GUI framework that comes with the compiler or a third party. Some software uses special-purpose libraries to do things like statistical analysis or mapping projections. Many applications include, or know where to find, a self-contained "component" that provides sophisticated functionality, such as a database engine or a map-drawing system.
There is less risk in using a third-party component if it is open source. This is particularly true of components developed by small companies and individual developers. It's very difficult to develop software components and make money renting them. People think, "I don't know these guys. Who knows what they've done in there? My application depends on this functionality." They also think, "What if these guys disappear? Or find something else to do? Or change the component so I can no longer use it? Or not fix what I need fixed?" They may also think, "This component does what I need to do now. What about next year? What if I want some enhancements? Are these guys going to care what I want?" Being open source addresses these concerns. Developers can see what an open-source component does and how it does it. They always have the option of making improvements themselves (or paying someone to do it).
If a component is open source, its owner cannot rent it. However, money can be made in support services, and the people best poised to do so are developers. A tiny outfit without the credibility to rent a component may find that the best way to make money is to make it open source.
It might be easier to attract contributors to an open-source project for a component than to a project for a narrow application. The users of a component are programmers, and they make up a natural pool of potential contributors whereas the users of a narrow application might be, for example, dentists.
Developers may be motivated to improve the component if an improvement is all that is necessary for the component to be used. Companies using the component may be motivated to spend money to improve it.
Concerns arise over using open-source components in closed-source applications. The most commonly used open-source license is the General Public License (GPL). It grants users the freedom to modify the software and distribute this derived work only if, among other restrictions, the derived work is also licensed under the terms of the GPL. This license ensures that all users of a piece of software, even users of modified versions, have the freedom to see and modify the source code. The Free Software Foundation promotes the use of the GPL.
A component licensed under the terms of the GPL cannot be used in a closed-source application, but some developers of open-source components would like to see them used in any application, open-source or not. The Library General Public License (LGPL, also known as the Lesser General Public License) was developed for this situation. A component licensed under the LGPL may be included in a closed-source application as long as users can get the source for the component, modify it and rebuild the application.
In many cases, however, developers of closed-source applications cannot (or will not) make use of components licensed under the LGPL. Developers of commercial products and companies writing software for their own use frequently don't want any given component badly enough to submit to the restrictions of this license.
There are less restrictive open-source licenses. A component licensed under the terms of the MIT License can be used by anybody for anything. Such licensing makes a component practical to use in closed-source development. Many people in the Open Source community find this license to be subversive, precisely because it makes it practical to bring open-source software into closed-source applications.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.
