Re: Can't believe it!
Thanks one and all for the well-wishes and sincerity. She has had her hands full putting up with me all these years! I tell her she is the glue that has held our family together through tough times and the party planner to help us celebrate the good. And speaking of good, I just got some more good news. Jeremy (24 years old) graduated two years ago and has just been picking up work as he could find it as a freelance programmer. The company he has been contracted to the past four weeks just hired him full-time. He begins full-time immediately and benefits commence in 30 days. He will be making as much as I do and will only have to move 40 miles from home. He is ecstatic and so are his mom and dad

Re: Can't believe it!
Congrats on the annivesary, and on the beginning to your son's career!
You've just nailed two of the happiest days of life: the celebration of a perfect partnership (that for me is still a daily work in progress, even after 33 years!); and gently moving one more young'un off the payroll!
Both great reasons to be proud...and happy!
I found this old Cub, Forgotten and Forlorn,
With pistons and valves frozen and worn.

Just wanted to say hi
New member here.....I have my great-grandfathers '47 that I am just beginning to restore. So far, I have rebuilt the IH carb and replaced the points, rotor, cap, plug and wires, etc. Was able to get it started this weekend with just some fuel in the bowl (probably been about 20 years since it was last started), so now it's time to get down to business. As I'm new to the the process of doing anything mechanical short of changing oil, I'm sure I'm going to have TONS of questions. Just wanted to say HI and I look forward to posting some pics along the way!!
Re: Just wanted to say hi

Legal Technology
Computer virus locks up law firm files
Posted Feb 10, 2014 9:50 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
The good news: No law firm or client data was taken.
The bad news: Attorney Paul Goodson and his staff can't access his Charlotte, N.C., law firm's files after they were locked up by a computer virus, WSOC reports.
Like other businesses in the city, the firm was targeted via email. Once an attachment was opened, the Crypto Locker virus took over. Thousands of documents stored on his computer were made inaccessible, he tells the station, explaining: "It was actually an email that looked like it was coming from our phone system because our system sends voice mail messages as an attachment."
When his information technology department couldn't resolve the problem, Goodson tried to pay the $300 fee hackers had demanded to get his files unscrambled. But by then, the ransom offer had expired.
Detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police department don't recommend making such payments but say they know of at least 30 cases in which the ransom was paid and the files were released. Meanwhile, the hackers reportedly have made some $30 million through the scheme.
Police say businesses that haven't yet been targeted can protect themselves by doing regular file back-ups. They also recommend immediately turning off any infected computer and disconnecting it from the office network.
Techworld also has a story.

An industrial site in the northern French city of Jeumont sparkled with light during Les Jupiterriennes, a special event that took place January 31 to February 9, 2003. The man behind the magic of the event is lighting designer Koert Vermeulen, principal of Art-Concept-Technology, a Belgian design firm based in Brussels. Vermeulen used light to bring luster back to Jeumont, and illuminate a site that is slated for development as a tourist destination with entertainment, culture, retail, and restaurants.
Jeumont, which means "mountain of Jupiter," is located on the French-Belgian border. It was once a major industrial center, with a large factory making alternators for power plants all over the world. It was also a major stop on the European train route from Moscow to Paris. "Even the Czar of Russia would come out of his carriage when the train stopped in Jeumont," notes Vermeulen. By the mid-20th century, Jeumont, like many other European industrial cities, was in decline and its industrial center abandoned.
Today there are plans to turn the old train station into a museum based on energy and trains, in celebration of the city's history. The complex will also include a hotel. "It is like a mini-theme park," Vermeulen explains. "This forgotten site will be integrated into the city as part of a major urban renewal project. Named after Jupiter, Les Jupiterriennes was designed to show off the site and present the idea to the region, to sponsors, and to the public. It was an energy-based event, so they came to me for the lighting."
A highlight of the lighting was an interactive totem, almost 100' tall (31.5m), built by the Belgian branch of Stageco, using steel truss and scaffolding to hold up 24 projection screens, each 2m by 2m (6.6'×6.6'), mounted in a checkerboard pattern. Stageco also designed special attachment pieces to hold the skin of high-tech plastic screens, made of a material that can withstand high winds and harsh weather conditions.
"This was the largest freestanding tower in the world," says Vermeulen. He also used 24 Clay Paky CP Color fixtures, one on each projection screen, and ETC Source Four PARs to light the center of the truss. There were also strobes attached to the top so that airplanes could clearly see the structure. Two Space Cannon Millennium 4000 automated searchlights were hung 30' (9m) high to add a color wash. "To make the totem interactive, I created 150 cue lists," notes Vermeulen. "It was like an interactive playground. Children especially would stand before the totem, and, by touching things, a random choice of cues would run. It was very popular and looked amazing."
A small building on the site, referred to as Bâtiment 2, was used as a canvas for drawings done by the school children of Jeumont, to show their ideas of the city. "The images were scanned and made into a PowerPoint presentation, and projected on a large screen using Panasonic projectors," explains Vermeulen. "There were 625 images running in a loop on the outside of the building." To light the building itself, Vermeulen added ETC Source Four ellipsoidals with various patterns, as well as Philips wash lights with 400W HQI lamps.
At the future museum site, two E\T\C Audiovisuel PiGi large-format projectors with double scrollers were used to create one large image, 45m (148.5') wide and 18m (59') high, on the outside of the structure. The content for the projections was provided by a French graphics school called SupInfoComm.
The interior of the building, referred to as "Atelier D," was totally transformed to tell the story of Micheline, an imaginary woman from Jeumont who is celebrating her 75th birthday and wants to visit the planet Jupiter. Her birthday celebration is a 25-minute show complete with a horse act and an aerial act. The performance elements were directed by ZO, a Belgian director who goes by just the one name.
Vermeulen was faced with transforming a very large space that measures 40' high by 120' long by 45' wide (12×36×13.5m). "It was divided into two sections," he notes, pointing out a transition area and the planet Jupiter. The transition area was dressed with 120 different style umbrellas, hanging from the ceiling to represent wishes sent from Earth to Jupiter. To light the space, Vermeulen used 48 PAR-64 uplights as well as 12 Martin Professional MAC 600 fixtures. "These were hung as high as possible, and between the two rooms, so I could use them to wash the floor and ceiling in both spaces," he says. "The umbrellas were carefully hung, like art, but we had to move some that were blocking the lighting."
The transition space is peopled with a series of unusual-looking wax figures. "These are very strange characters designed by a French artist," says Vermeulen. "They represent people who want to leave Earth and go to Jupiter but never actually get there." The figures include a family photo session, a farmer, and the denizens of a pub. Vermeulen created museum-like lighting of the figures with a combination of 300W fresnels, ETC Source Four ellipsoidals, PAR-20s, and wash lights. The overall look is rather minimalist, with a dark atmosphere in blues and greens.
The planet Jupiter is described by Vermeulen as "a very empty space, all amber and red." The backdrop is a star cloth measuring 20m by 40m (66'×132'), as well as projections on a wall painted a matte gray. The aerial act and horse act are lit with six Clay Paky Stage Zoom 1200 SV fixtures as well as the MAC 600s, plus Source Fours to help pull the performers and horse and aerial acts out of the background projections, which included a train station on Jupiter, a NASA-style photo of Jupiter in the distance, and an 1800s-style illustration of Jupiter and its moons.
A variety of consoles was used to control the site lighting. For the sound and light show on the exterior of the old train station, Vermeulen used a High End Systems Status Cue®, selected for its ability to run a scheduled show from an audio CD without the need for a separate show control system. The exterior lighting along the walkways was run via a Flying Pig Systems Wholehog® II console, with a second used for the totem. This console was cued via MIDI from an Avenger Conductor show control system. The interior lighting of Atelier D was controlled with a Compulite Sabre console, with a dedicated board operator who ran each show. The dimmers were by ADB. A special powerline was installed by EDF (Electricité de France) with a total consumption of 800A on 400V tri-phase.
The lighting equipment was supplied by two companies: Philing SA for the interior and exterior of Atelier D and the totem, and Phlippo Showlights for Bâtiment 2, the illuminated walkway, entrances, and train station. All projection was done by Philing SA with PiGi and Cameleon projectors, with video and the interactive elements by Wouter Van Beirendonck.
"Overall it was very big, like an opera effect," says Vermeulen. "All the lighting was intended to enhance the story. Nothing was overdone. Each light was there to help communicate the story to the public."

Export Operation & Compliance Benchmark Report: Going Global w/ Regulatory Reform
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Welcome to the second annual benchmark study covering U.S. export operations and compliance produced by American Shipper in partnership with BPE Global and the International Compliance Professionals Association (ICPA). More than 300 U.S.-based exporters participated in this 35 question survey covering export regulatory reform, operations management practices, organizational structure, compliance policies and export management technology.
Qualified respondents are limited to those companies exporting goods or services (deemed exports) from the United States. This includes freight forwarders, third-party logistics providers, non-vessel-operating common carriers, and other intermediaries in addition to shippers from all segments.
This year we are looking at the impact of going global with export control form. Many firms indicate uncertainty about the impact of pending export reform activities on their operations, while they struggle to remain profitable in times of economic uncertainty.

WASHINGTON – National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis today announced the award of more than $1.8 million in grants to help with 310.79 acres of land acquisition at six Civil War battlefields. Grant projects include fee simple and easement purchases at Mansfield, Louisiana; Appomattox Court House, Virginia; Cedar Mountain, Virginia; Chancellorsville, Virginia; Sailor's Creek, Virginia and Buckland Mills, Virginia.
"We are pleased to provide this grant funding so that our state, local and private preservation partners can protect these important American landscapes in their communities," said Director Jarvis. "The preservation of Civil War battlefields will allow future generations of Americans the opportunity to understand the important role these sites played in our nation's history."
The grants were made from the National Park Service's American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) to help states and local communities acquire and preserve threatened Civil War battlefield land outside the boundaries of National Park units. Consideration is given to battlefields listed in the National Park Service's Civil War Sites Advisory Commission Report on the Nation's Civil War Battlefields (CWSAC Report). Funds were awarded based on the property's location within CWSAC-defined core and/or study areas, the threat to the battlefield land to be acquired, and the availability of required non-Federal matching funds.
The grant funds were made available under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-74), which appropriated $8,985,600 for the Civil War battlefield land acquisition grants program. Applications for the balance of the funds are accepted at any time. Criteria to consider in the applying for the Civil War Battlefield Land Acquisition Grants include:

Case Overview
Earthjustice is representing the Sierra Club in its lawsuit against Texas coal plant owner, Luminant Generation Company, for repeatedly violating federal air pollution regulations. The company's Martin Lake plant, one of the dirtiest coal plants in the nation, has accumulated more than 50,000 air pollution violations in the last five years.
The lawsuit is based largely on company self-reported emissions data that indicates that the coal-fired power plant is emitting excessive amounts of fine particle pollution, exposure to which has been linked to asthma attacks, lung ailments, and thousands of premature deaths a year. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has ignored years of repeated excessive soot pollution and other violations at the Martin Lake plant, putting the health of nearby communities at risk.

The day the earth shook
The memories of March 11, 2011 are indelibly etched into James Steward's mind. How could they not be?
"It was exactly 2:47 pm when the earthquake hit," recalls James. "I know that because all of the clocks at our school stopped at that moment."
James is the Principal of Tohoku International School (Grades K-12) in Sendai, Japan, an historic coastal city that's located about 300 km north of Tokyo. James, his Japanese-Canadian wife Alana and their three children, ages fourteen, twelve, and three, have called Sendai home the last three years. This historic city of one million people has many things to recommend it: a wonderful temperate climate, breathtakingly beautiful scenery, and a laid-back lifestyle. However, Sendai sits atop a major geological fault line, and earth tremors are common here. "They're just a part of life in Sendai. You get used to them," says James.
Even so, nothing the 47-year-old native of North Bay, ON, had ever experienced prepared him for the earthquake that devastated Sendai on the afternoon of March 11.
James was in the boardroom of his school, meeting with some administrators from the local school district. The Japanese officials had come to ask James's advice on ways to introduce more English into classrooms of area schools. "When the building began to shake, we all took cover under the conference table," recalls James. "Most earthquakes end quickly, but this one was different. As the shaking continued and grew ever more intense, we all knew this was a bad one."
The quake, the epicentre of which was just 45 km from Sendai, deep under the waters of Pacific Ocean, measured 9.0 in magnitude. That meant it was one of the most intense earthquakes ever recorded.
The quake caused chaos – but no panic – inside the Tohoku school. Objects tumbled from shelves, pictures fell off the buckling walls, ceiling tiles came down, and breaking windows on the third floor sent panes of glass crashing into the school's main entrance. However, far more problematic was an effect of the quake that James and his companions knew nothing about at that moment: the seismic upheaval had thrown up tsunami waves more than 30 metres high. As this killer wall of water roared toward Sendai, James and his Japanese visitors were still struggling to take stock of the situation, assess the damage, and evacuate the building.
Much of Sendai is built on a coastal plain, and so when the tsunami hit the city it did so with unrestrained force and fury. As many as 30,000 people are believed to have perished almost instantly. Fortunately, the Tohoku school sits on a hillside 20 km from the coast, and so the tsunami did not reach it. Miraculously, James and his family, all of the school's 100 students, their teachers, and the school's staff survived. All but 15 of the students managed to return home that night, though doing so was a challenge.
Says James, "After the earthquake we had no electrical power, no phone service, no television, and no internet; that was the case for three or four days. Many roads in the area were impassable, and gas stations were closed."
As yet there were no fears about the radiation leaking from the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plants, just 80 km south. The Stewards stayed at their house for four days; James's mother had been visiting at the time of the quake, and once she was able to catch a flight home to Vancouver, James and his family, along with 17 other people from the Tohoku school, sought refuge in a hotel near Niigata, on Japan's west coast.
The Stewards were determined to return to Sendai, and James – as a gesture of solidarity with city residents – pledged to reopen the school by the end of March. While concerns over elevation levels of radiation have clouded the school's long-term future – and indeed that of Sendai itself – James reports that Tohoku school is again holding classes, a morale-building feat that has won praise from the Japanese media.
"Sendai is a beautiful city, and the people here are wonderful. I believe they'll not only recover from this disaster, they'll rise again and be 100 times stronger because of it. I'm committed to the school, the city of Sendai, and to Japan, and I want do all I can to make that happen."
Tohoku International School has created a scholarship fund for families severely affected by the earthquake. Contributions can be made directly by contacting James Steward at firstname.lastname@example.com

Infrastructure Debt Harder to "Pay Off" Than Technical Debt
I'll summarize some of the issues he highlighted. By fixing these, you can 'pay off' your Infrastructure Debt:
Developers each using a different 'preferred' development environment causes code to be out of sync. You can institute the same environment for all devs or let them use identical virtual machines with their preferred tools.
The deployment process needs to be controlled and standardized through automation. Different deployment processes lead to Infrastructure Debt.
Elaborating on the second point:
I really think there is one rule: if you cannot do your deployments with one command then you are DOING IT WRONG. If you can type the commands you are doing into a shell then you can script them so you don't have to type them in again. If you can script deployment, then you can automate deployment. If you can automate deployment then you now have a consistent and repeatable process that will behave the same way every single time you deploy. --Chris Hartjes
Tools like Capistrano, Phing (PHP), or Jenkins can help you here. It's important, Hartjes says, that you examine your process beyond the coding. Check out the post if you want some more details on this Infrastructure Debt thing.

Regarding point number one, let me tell you that I wouldn't work in a company that would force me to use inferior tools (e.g. Eclipse).
As a lumberjack, please don't ask me to replace my chainsaw with an axe.
Also, regarding code out of sync, it's because developers think differently. If you want code to look like it was written by one developer, try pair programming and pride management. You can't solve a social problem with tools, you can only deepen it.
As for virtual machines, please do so if you have a huge amount of money to throw out the window. A friend of a friend worked for a big company that had this policy. Because it took tens of minutes to compile the project and everything else was so terribly slow, I estimate this friend did actual work for half an hour or less a day.
The advice at point 1 is (or should be) the horror of any developer.
Lund Wolfe replied on Sun, 2011/11/06 - 6:51pm
I'd be more concerned about technical debt as poor quality design and implementation (bad code or inconsistent with existing design) than automating deployment. If there are deployment consistency problems, then there is probably a more fundamental problem, like not automating distribution/packaging, or lack of functional testing, or not knowing which parts of the system are affected by the changes (incomplete deployment). The production deployment itself should be relatively trivial (or at least clearly/simply documented in step order).
Roger Lindsjö replied on Mon, 2011/11/07 - 8:08am in response to: Cristian Vasile Mocanu
I agree that forcing tools on developers is a bad idea (although we differ on the usefulnes of Eclipse). However, I think with development environment the author actually means your own test environment, but it is very unclear from the article. So, if your system should run on some solaris version, then every developer should have an environment to run their tests in that is similar to that environment, and a virtual machine is suggested (not sure if that is the cheapest solution).
Daniel Manchester replied on Tue, 2011/11/08 - 11:32pm
Paul Russel replied on Sun, 2012/06/10 - 8:41am
Excellent article. Even if you are doing things right, it is very easy to slip back into old habits. Switching frameworks? It's too much time to make your CI environment work with the new stuff - we can do that later. Of course in the meantime everyone goes back to running tests and deploying by hand. We are just climbing back out of that hole.
Also, thanks for the notes about ways to handle virtual machines. They are now featuring very highly on my ToRead list.

In this part of Panama City alleyways line the neighborhoods for the past two years Commissioner Kenneth Brown has led an effort to clean them out now he wants to keep them that way.
"When I got to be commissioner I figured that would be my first project," said Brown.
And the project has gathered good reports among residents living in the Glenwood communities, where alleyways are common.
"It gives people hope if they see something like that happening," said Brown. "They think 'Well maybe something else will happen, maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel.'"
And that light has come quite literally for people living along the alleyways. Residents like Malcom Sheffield have homes right along the corridors.
"I've lived here for over 40 years," said Sheffield.
He and others living along these corridors use the space for convenience.
"So, I can go in and out of my house," he said. "Rather than backing out of my driveway all the time."
"You need access to your back to the back of your house," said Roy Massalina Sr. "That's a big part of what's going on now. That's why it needs to be attended to more thoroughly."
But now keeping the project going means maintaining it for Brown. At Tuesday's commission meeting Brown mentioned outside resources for additional help -- possibly an inmate program.
"If we can tie into that and we have more workers we can get more work done," said Brown. "We can probably implement more of the funds towards the county and the city and it would also tie us together and we can get more things done by working on an inter-local agreement."
And his constituents agree the project is worth keeping around.
"I'm behind him 100%," said Massalina.
"I will support any effort," said Sheffield. "I would even get out here and help them!"
The Community Redevelopment Agency and Commissioner Brown are in talks about how to set up an agreement between the city and the jail to incorporate an inmate working partnership.

La Ruta Day 4, revenge of the big boys
Wake up at 3am so we can make the long ride down to the start. On the shuttle this woman in the row across from me has to go to the bathroom so bad she can´t stand it. Being a trooper she pulls down the tights, swings it out the open window, and goes while i hold onto her wrists as everyone claps for her. Moments after she brings it back in a truck goes barreling by. nice timing. I´m looking forward to today, finally starting to feel a bit beat but because of the low gears we´ve been pushing the legs aren´t that sore. It´s 75 miles with only 5,600 feet of climbing. The usual gut bustlingly steep climb to start with, one or two more, than flat for the final 40 mile or so, never mind the 40 K of railroad trestles. Maybe i´ll get to use of that big guy roadie power today.
Pick my bike up, switch out to the Nevegal 1.9´s (smoother rolling, finally). While changing tires i notice that three of the spokes in a row on the non drive side of my rear Spinergy are missing. WTF!! I gave it the once over before i dropped it off and all was fine. The mechanic tells me they were broken. Yeah, right, more like your buddy rides spinergy, needed a few spokes and there they went. Well I´ve come all this way, i´m 185 lbs but feel that if any wheel can take it, these can.
Start in the back with Michiko, she thinks she caught a cold yesterday. I´m pissed about my wheel but happy to nearly be done. The first third is fairly uneventful, more steep climbing, some fun descending. I kept forgetting about my wheel and letting go on the downhills. A group of us hook up on a paved section before the first rail section, feels sooooo good to draft again. Soon as we hit the rails that´s done with. I´m taking it a bit easy here because of my wheel, but it´s pounding the hell out of the little guys, some on hardtails. The ties are cement, about 18 inches apart and some have very little dirt-rocks left between them so you go in way deep, hit hard, then push it way high again over and over. We come to the first major bridge, for a second i think i´ll be a bad-ass and try and ride it. Noooo, bad idea, the ties here are wood, some seriously shot, and all slick as hell. Still, i gain some ground walking around people who are taking it incredibly slow. Whats the problem, we´re only fifty feet above a rushing river with crocodiles?
Another paved section a group of about ten of us get together. Where the hell did all the roadies go? I keep trying to organize a pace line but it´s not working at all. People keep surging at the front then dropping themselves or not taking pulls at all. After nearly getting my front wheel taken out by the same guy twice (¨sorry, bro¨) I put in hard effort to loose the group figuring i´d rather work my ass off alone then hassle with the group that wasn´t helping much anyway. On a long dirt-gravel section i hook up with two other guys who know what they´re doing and we get in some good miles. Its raining off and on, my eyes are killing me from holding a wheel kicking up so much dirt and grit. Seems best three inches just to the side. We ford a few rivers that are moving pretty quick, i´m working harder on the easiest stage. On the steep climbing days you can just sit back and spin all day, on the flats i feel obligated to push it. Our little manage-a-trios breaks up when we hit the next railroad section. It´s finally getting hot and i´m sore, ready to not be on my bike now, suspension sounds like hell. A few times we get directed off the railroad for some deep swampy riding along the coast, i can see the Caribbean waves right there and hear Howler monkeys to my right. I´m losing moral, but remind myself that i´m doing La Ruta, riding my mountain bike in Costa Rica, how cool is that. Hip deep pools to ride through, some of them salt water, bikes going to need a total rebuild after this, every bearing replaced, chain, maybe cassette. Finally hit the last few miles of pavement. Can really feel the rear wheel now, going up and and down in the saddle, wum-wum-wum-.... A quick left down some unexpected ramps over stairs, across the finish line Feels so good. Can´t believe i just finished an event i´ve been reading about for years. 6:28, 32nd in the open category for the day. Tires and power paid off a bit. If not for that rear... hmmm...nah i just came here to finish in one piece. Ended up 53rd on the open GC (with Tinker and those crazy fast guys).
Stage Five: A hellish bus ride back to san jose. finally caught the runs something wicked. Better then than during the race but the bathroom was intense. Shit filled water backing up into the sink, piss and eventually fecal matter all over the general area of the toilet and i kept having to go back in there for a six hour ride. Stay up until 5:30am waiting for the bikes to arrive and rushing to the bathroom. Thank god it´s over. But it was awesome.

That the San Antonio Spurs would earn the Western Conference's No. 1 seed seemed like such a foregone conclusion for such a long time that it was almost accepted as cast in bronze. As it turns out, the Los Angeles Lakers are just 2.5 games behind the Spurs with a real chance to take over the spot after Thursday's action.
The Lakers destroyed the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, taking a 1.5-game lead over the Mavs for the No. 2 spot in the West. L.A. effectively has an extra game on Dallas by virtue of being a division winner; if two teams have the same record, but only one is a division champ, the division champ cannot be the lower seed. Since Dallas needs to be a game ahead of L.A. to grab No. 2, the Lakers are effectively 2.5 games in front.
That's the same margin the Spurs have over the Lakers, with one caveat. The Spurs have a 2-1 season series lead on the Lakers, and the teams will meet again on April 12. If the Spurs win that game, they'd have the tiebreaker as both are division champs. If the Lakers win, the tiebreaker would move to conference record -- the Spurs are currently 35-11, the Lakers 33-11.
But to set those tiebreakers in motion, the Lakers have to catch the Spurs first. San Antonio needs six combined wins and Lakers' losses to clinch No. 1. That means that if L.A. wins out -- including the April 12 game against the Spurs -- San Antonio would need to sweep the rest of its games to guarantee the No. 1 seed. The Spurs have seven games left; removing the Lakers' matchup, San Antonio's schedule includes games at the Rockets, Hawks and Suns, and home games against the Suns, Kings and Jazz. The Spurs should be able to beat all of those teams. The Spurs, however, have lost five straight.
The Lakers' schedule is tougher, and has one big ol' stumbling block, the almost-as-hot-as-L.A. Denver Nuggets on Sunday.

Supporting the dead: One developer continues to release games for systems that refuse to die
German developer Duranik has released a new a horizontal shmup called Sturmwind this week, and that's not big news. What's interesting is that the game is coming out on the long-defunct Sega Dreamcast console.
The game looks solid, but there's one question I just couldn't get off my mind when I was watching trailers for this game: What kind of lunatic releases a video game for the Dreamcast in 2013?
This isn't just a fun project or mod, Sturmwind is a full game being published by Red Spot Games, complete with its own CD case, cover art, and a limited edition. There's even a plushie of the game's villain available for purchase.
I got in touch with the game's developer in Germany to see if I could find out what would motivate someone to release a brand new Dreamcast game.
Celebrating the dead
It turns out that Johannes Graf of Duranik, the developer behind Sturmwind, makes a hobby of supporting communities of long-departed video game consoles. He's also built games for the Atari Lynx, Jaguar, and Falcon systems over the past 15 years.
"It's not a business, it's a hobby. It's just fun and different to develop for these really old machines," said Graf. He noted that it's not possible to make a living with his work, even though he's got the market to himself.
That said, the work can be its own reward, and there's been an outpouring of appreciation from Dreamcast devotees. "The Dreamcast has a very large and avid fanbase," he said. "We got a lot of support and emails from Dreamcast fans from all over the world. Most of them still can't believe why Sega dropped the machine so early."
Why does he support the Dreamcast? The hardware continues to show its worth, even this long after its death. "The Dreamcast is still good hardware, and there is still some untapped potential sitting in this box. It is a great platform to develop for. Despite being 12 years old its still easy to to work on it."
Graf said that the Dreamcast is still a viable place to make games thanks to the advances the industry has made in game development tools. "Also there is a great free development OS available for it, called KOS," said Graf. "If you find one of those pretty rare broadband adapters you're ready to go and have a very nice devkit on your hands."
There are only a few Dreamcast broadband adapters currently listed on eBay, but they can sell for up to $130.
That said, if you're an indie developer, $130 is a small price to pay for the attention and adoration of a small group of dedicated fans. It's about the same price as developing for iOS, and there's no revenue sharing. For some developers it could actually be a slightly better business decision. Having the rapt attention of a small group of hardcore Dreamcast fans desperate for your $45 game is quite a bit better than languishing in obscurity on the App Store and selling 12 copies for $0.99, while having to pay Apple their 30% cut.
There can be big challenges when attempting to ship a small-scale title like Sturmwind, though. The game was originally slated to ship in 2011, but was delayed when their manufacturer declared bankruptcy.
"In spite of the best planning, the release of Sturmwind has to be postponed: Our long-term CD-ROM manufacturer surprisingly had to declare bankruptcy after 19 years in business," reads an old post from 2011 on Red Spot Games' website. Graf said that their new manufacturer was likewise a disaster, and would delay manufacturing for months without telling him there was a problem.
Despite the challenges, Duranik and Red Spot Games aren't the only players in the tiny Dreamcast market. There have been a number of games released since the console's official death in 2001.
In just the past two years several games like 3D rail shooter Geist Force and 2D Contra-alike GunLord have been released. Sturmwind's publisher, Red Spot Games also put out two titles in 2007 and 2009, Last Hope and Rush Rush Rally Racing. Japan in particular refused to let the system go, and there were dozens of titles released there between 2001 and 2004. Things have slowed to a trickle since then, but the efforts haven't stopped.
As for what Duranik will do next now that Sturmwind has been released, Graf says it's still a bit up in the air.
"I don't think the PS2 would need any new games. There must be thousands of games available for it. For the Xbox there is probably no fanbase to make this interesting," he said.
"The Gamecube, on the other hand, is a very interesting platform."

Roger Bacon senior forward Erik Edwards scored 16 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead the Spartans past Carroll Dec. 11.
- Filed Under
It's pretty simple why coaches and players put an emphasis on experience.
The more a team has, the more likely the chances that squad can win when the pressure mounts.
And while the 2012-2013 campaign is still in its infancy, the varsity-veteran Roger Bacon Spartans are making quick work of the opposition. ...

Danby 45 Pint Portable Energy Star Dehumidifier 22 40
Very good product I've only owned this model for a month, but am already quite impressed. The design, efficiency and noise level simply blow away a similar Kenmore dehumidifier I owned for 7 years. In fact, I'm now glad the Kenmore broke down! Hopefully, I'll still be as impressed with the Danby in the years ahead. June 20, 2014
Happy Customer I've been using this product for 3 weeks now and have been extremely pleased. It is attractive, easy to move, quiet, and shuts off when full. It is easy to empty and replace the bucket. Since I keep it in the hall between the living and bedroom, it gets no direct light. Therefore I find the clear gauge to view the water level quite difficult to read. Course if i'm going to be away for several hours I empty it before leaving. This is the perfect companion since I like to keep my apartment at about 78*, and the blower keeps the air circulating constantly. Now I don't need to worry about mold forming since I don't keep the air temperature below 75. I am very pleased with the design and quality of this product. I'm also glad that I went with the 45 pint rather than the 30 pint that I had planned on buying. May 22, 2014
Good product Onlt thing I do not like is if it is still running and you want to empty the bucket, you must turn it off first and wait to drain. Other machines I have had in past, as soon as you pull the bucket out, they shut off. This feature was very nice, wish Danby hadit. December 2, 2013
Danby 45 pint dehumidifier Dehumidifier is exactly as advertised, even though the fan is continuous it is much quieter than our previous unit by another manufacturer. We are very pleased with the unit it worked quickly to remove the moisture. It is a great product as well as the excellent price and free shipping. I would highly recommend both CA Compact Appliance as well as Danby to anyone looking for a Dehumidifier. October 23, 2013

The Kennedy Center American College Theater has honored Clarion University student Payge Crock of Lake City, Pa., with a Certificate of Merit. Recognized for her costume design for the production of "Edges," Crock's award represents the theatre department's 51st Kennedy Center Award in the past 10 years.
Representatives from the Kennedy Center's Region II attend and critique each Clarion University theatrical performance, offering feedback to the shows' performers and designers. In Crock's case, the regional respondents loved what they saw, noting that her wardrobe selections helped to subtly define the "Edges" characters.
"Typically they're looking for work they find particularly exceptional or appropriate to a production," said Myra Bullington, who served as Crock's advisor. According to Bullington, the respondents found Crock's choices to be "appropriately youthful … perfect for blending the worlds of different ages."
"The choices were hers," said Bullington. "I would ask her about certain choices she made, but only to get her to think about why she made them."
Throughout the production, Crock had to research, shop, piece together and sew her designs to see them come to life on stage. She was also responsible for maintaining communication with the play's director to ensure that she was carrying out the show's artistic vision.
While Bullington touted the confidence and resumé-building aspects of awards like Crock's, she cautioned against living and dying by that kind of recognition. "A student has to know that their work is good. The rest of it is nice, but you have to be excellent within yourself to succeed."
Clarion University's theatre department hopes to improve upon its 51 awards with its next show, "All's Well that Ends Well," Nov. 14-18 in Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre. Representatives from the department will be attending the Region II Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in January.
Clarion University is the high-achieving, nationally recognized, comprehensive university that delivers a personal and challenging academic experience.

The CIOT went transatlantic on 12 May with the inaugural meeting of the North America Branch (or Chapter). A networking reception, generously sponsored by Thomson Reuters, and held at their impressive offices at 3 Times Square (off 44th and Broadway) was well attended by representatives from the US financial and business communities as well as CTAs working in New York City and surrounds.
With the event space being situated on the 30th floor, guests had a superior view of the New Year's Eve Ball while we enjoyed drinks and canapés and listened to speeches by Vincent Oratore, Brian Peccarelli, President of the Tax & Accounting business at Thomson Reuters and Robert Moncrieff, North America Branch Chairman-Elect and partner at Ernst & Young in New York.
The next event for the Branch will be a technical meeting in September. All meetings will be open to anyone with a professional interest in tax and if you would like to receive news and alerts, don't forget to sign up in your site profile.
My own knowledge of international tax was greatly advanced by my visit (I learnt that NYC sales tax is 8.875%!) and we wish the 36th Branch of the CIOT every success.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - For the second year in a row, animal rights activists try to push a felony animal cruelty bill through the state legislature.
Senate Bill 2127 is very similar to the bill that passed the Senate but died in a House committee in 2010.
The law would create tougher penalties for people who harm cats and dogs.
Farming, hunting and defense of people or property would be acceptable, if the law is passed.
Law enforcement agencies like the Rankin and Hinds Co. Sheriff's Dept. stand behind the bill.
Studies indicate people who harm animals could be capable of other violent crimes.
"The difference we think we have this year, we have worked all year to educate the public on the need for the bill, so we have even stronger public support than we had last year, we had very strong public support last year but that's just grown over last year," said Marlo Kirkpatrick, Miss. Fighting Animal Cruelty Together.
The Farm Bureau has openly opposed similar bills in past years.
They say passing the law could have drastic effects, because it could lead activists to push for more extreme agendas dealing with the treatment of animals.

Women's hoops preps for Georgia road swing beginning Thursday
Related Links
The JU women's basketball team will take its recent home success on the road starting Thursday in Macon, Ga., against Mercer at 7 p.m.
The Dolphins (6-12, 4-3 A-Sun) will wrap the weekend at Kennesaw State Saturday at 2:30 p.m. as they look for their first road win of the season. Despite six straight home wins, the Dolphins have lost the last 14 on the road dating back to last season. Ironically, JU's road win was in Macon last season (80-78 OT, 1/24/11).
"We are ready to play," JU head coach Jill Dunn said. "Our team has played well as of late and we look forward to building on that momentum this weekend. There is a lot of basketball still to be played so we need to keep improving each time out."
The Dolphins head into the week following wins against USC Upstate and East Tennessee State. Junior Tracie Sneed scored 21 points and recorded 14 boards in the win against the Spartans. JU picked up a 70-44 win against ETSU for its second regular-season win in the all-time series on a 19-point effort off the bench from sophomore Abril Peeples.
Peeples has been a strong off the bench during the last six weeks for the Dolphins, scoring double-digits in six of eight contests. She currently is third on the team in scoring (9.8), while ranking first in assists with 39.
The Bears (3-15, 1-6) suffered their eighth straight loss on Jan. 14, falling to Kennesaw State (8-10, 3-4), 75-51,at home.
Briana Williams paces the Bears with a 14.5 scoring average and Ry'van Buchanan is second with a 10.6 clip. Alex Phillips leads Mercer in rebounding (6.8 rpg) and blocks (26).
In the all-time series, the Dolphins have won nine of the last 10 meetings to hold a 13-11 advantage. The Bears' last win in the series was a 63-46 decision in Macon on Feb. 20, 2010.
Taylor Mills is averaging 13.4 points a contest to lead the Lady Owls, while Sametria Gideon paces the team in rebounding with an 8.2 average. Ashley Holliday, older sister of JU's Britney Holliday, paces the Lady Owls with 51 assists, while ranking second in steals (36) and third in scoring (10.9).
The Dolphins own an 8-4 lead in the all-time series against the Lady Owls after each squad won at their home court last season.
Fans can follow the action through the live links on JUDolphins.com.

As far as the sensor is concerned, Canon have yet to "catch up" to the D7000, let alone its replacement. I doubt they will, because crop sensor performance hasn't been a priority for Canon for a long time, if ever. But their crop camera body performance overall, has been ok, other than the Rebel series and the 60D.
But frankly, I don't see a new Sony-designed crop sensor having 14 stops of dynamic range...and even if it did, it would fall off quickly above ISO 800 or so.
That's the real difference though, Nikon has to have someone else design and build their sensors. Canon does their own. I admire that. But the current Canon sensor was designed in what, 2007? 2008? The 7D came out in Fall 2009, so certainly the sensor was designed many months before that. It's very, very old technology now.
The D5200 sensor has 13.9 stops of DR, and it is a NIKON-designed sensor, manufactured by Toshiba. I love this move for Nikon, as they're now seemingly in charge of their own sensor development and not tied down to any specific fab, as Canon is.
Keep in mind, people have been complaining about banding noise in the 5200 when shadows are lifted by around 2 stops. I have not seen any super serious example of it so far, but the D5200 sensor does not seem to really fare any better than Canon sensors (which can usually only withstand about 2 stops shadow lifting). The numerous mentions of banding in the 5200, and the mentions about how similar it is to Canon 5D II banding, make me wonder even more about the objectivity of DXO.
I also encourage anyone who disputes that DXO is truly neutral to download DXO Optics Pro and test it out on Canon raw files. Of all the available CR2 RAW editors, DXO Optics Pro seems to fare the worst, by far...especially in the noise and NR department. (Lightroom performs significantly better with CR2 files and NR, as does DPP, obviously.) The poor performance of DXO Optics Pro with CR2 files makes me wonder whether DXO really knows how to process them correctly, and whether that may somehow factor into the growing rift between anything Nikon and anything Canon in their tests.

OC Marathon Highlights May 15 2012
Even though it's exhausting being on your feet all day, I really do enjoy it when we get to head to race expos to man the Greenlight Apparel race merchandise booth. A few months ago we were at the California International Marathon, then there was Pat's Race in Arizona, and last weekend we headed to southern California for The OC Marathon.
Aside from getting to hang out with a bunch of runners and enjoy the warm southern California weather, our trip included the following highlights:
We Rented a Truck
Yeah, I know that doesn't sound that exciting, but look at this thing. It was enormous and slightly unwieldy. The shocks on this 13-foot beast were shot to hell so we spent most of trip bouncing along highway 5. On the plus side, none of us got carsick and we did get to experience the novelty of truck stops as well as going through the scales on the freeway. It's the little things in life. Next time we're getting a radio.
The OC TasteFest
Anything that combines a running event with a food event has my full support. Also there were coconuts. Although the straw wasn't particularly useful in trying to get at the actual coconut. They should consider serving it with a machete. I'm just saying.
In 'N Out
They have a vegetarian option. Mind blown.
Army Strong
Sunday morning we needed help setting up. Monika said an army of volunteers was on their way to help us out. I didn't think she meant it literally, but within five minutes a dozen uniformed soldiers were breaking down stands and moving race t-shirts and mannequins. It was kind of amazing.
And then this happened. In my defense, those mannequins are a little awkward to carry around. On a less awkward note, the OC Marathon shirts turned out great.

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles' annual FanFest -- the unofficial start to the 2012 baseball season -- will be held Saturday, Jan. 21, at the Baltimore Convention Center.
This year's FanFest, presented by the Sarasota Convention & Visitors Bureau, will feature appearances by current and former Orioles players and coaches as part of a day-long celebration of baseball that will also include clinics, exhibits and interactive games. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, with early entry for Orioles season-plan holders to begin at 10 a.m. as part of the Orange Carpet Program.
In addition to FanFest activities, individual game tickets for the 2012 season will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Jan. 21. Fans may purchase tickets online at orioles.com, via phone at 1-888-848-BIRD and at the official team store at the York Galleria in York, Pa. Tickets will also be available at the Convention Center or the Orioles' box office at the north end of the warehouse throughout the day.
The Orioles' autograph policy for FanFest 2012 will duplicate last year's policy and is designed to support youth charitable endeavors through OriolesREACH, as well as reduce fan disappointment by shortening wait times. Children ages 4-14 will have a specially designated Kids Only player autograph station presented by ESSKAY that is free of charge and will operate continuously throughout the day. All other ESSKAY autograph stations at FanFest will require the advance purchase of autograph vouchers exclusively at orioles.com, with all of the proceeds to benefit children's charities through OriolesREACH. Additional details pertaining to the sale of vouchers for autograph stations will be announced at a later date.
In addition to autographs, other FanFest activities include question-and-answer forums with players, front-office staff and media; clinics for children on a youth-sized baseball field; memorabilia dealers; a Spring Training in Sarasota, Fla., exhibit; and the opportunity to apply for seasonal employment with the organization.
