So you have been for an interview, you think it went well. You liked the company, the role, the salary is right for you and you can see where the role will progress in the next three to five years, but how do you know if an interview went well ? Are there any ways that you can tell whether you are getting your hopes up for nothing or if you are going to actually get this job.
The truth is that even if an interview went well and the employer liked you, you may still get rejected. A lot of "finding a new Job" is about lady-luck and whether you are in the right place at the right time. Even you if you connected well with the interviewer, have the knowledge, skills, experience and history that the employer is looking for you still might not get the job.
Whilst not full-proof and of course there will be exceptions to these clues, below I have tried to give you some clues that you can use to work out if an interview went well or not.
11 Signs to give you an idea if an Interview went well
Body Language – The interviewer's arms are open which means they are relaxed in your presence. Having the same body language could mean that you are synched together and therefore will work well with each other.
Interviewers Presence – What did the interviewer look like? We can all give that "i am bored" look very easily. Taking phone calls, and generally not paying attention to you or what your saying is not good.
Interview Length – Typically my interviews will last between 45 minutes and 1 hour. If a candidate is not good, usually I can get this down to 25 minutes if I know the candidate is no use to me.
The interviewer try's to sell you the position – When I know someone is right for a role I will spend extra time explaining the advantages of the role and where it can take them to next.
You are introduced other members of the team or shown around the office. I would not waste my time doing this with someone I did not want to impress and therefore employ.
The interviewer spends a lot of time answering your questions – Again another great sign that the interviewer is interested in you and wants to make sure that you understand the role and the company.
They asked you when you can start or interview again – This is a very common question, however I think its a good sign when its asked by an employer.
Your Salary expectations are asked and discussed – Another very common question, however one that I think if time is taken to discuss the salary, package or benefits then is a good sign.
The interviewer gives you their business card and says "call me with any questions' – This shows the interviewer is interested in making sure you have all the answers.
You have discuss personal topics – Successful Interviews are largely about making sure you have the right personality therefore if the interviewer starts talking about life or sharing jokes then this is probably the best sign that you can have.
You hear from your references that the employer has called. Taking reference is really time consuming and unless I am serious about a candidate I would not do this.
If you are reading this and thinking back to your interview and the answer to many of the signs is "yes" then most likely you have done well, however there is still a chance that you will not get invited for interview or the job and in this case lady-luck was against you this time and you need to pick yourself up and keep going.
If you have answered "no" to the majority of these questions, most likely you will not be invited for another round of interviews or get the job. In this case you need to step back and have a think about how you can improve yourself for the next interview. Maybe you need to change your body language to come across as a more friendly person, maybe you need to prepare more and ask better questions ( See my "what questions to ask at interview" recommendations here Part 1 and Part 2) or maybe this was not the right company for you and you should move on to the next.
Whilst's its important to be aware of the above, you also need to make sure that you are not continuously thinking about each and everyone one of these signs during an interview. It will drive you crazy and most likely you will come across completely false and un-natural. It is helpful to be aware of yourself during the interview so that you can make adjustments if needed, however its also very important to relax and try to be yourself and concentrate on answering the interviewers questions to the best of your ability.
After the interview has finished you can use your personal instincts the check on how well you think the interview went. You will most likely be correct with whatever your thinking.
If your the right candidate, they will call, if not they will not and need to pick yourself up and move on.

Q: I heard part of a report that seemed to be indicating that Great Britain is banning all non-hybrids sometime in the future. Can this be true?
A: No. One party in England proposed a bill that would, in effect, essentially ban all non-hybrid cars by 2040. No one is suggesting that will ever come into being.
Q: I read a lot about plug-in electric cars and how wonderful they are. I am wondering how many plug-in electric cars are actually in use in the U.S.?
A: Approximately 120,000 to 140,000 plug-ins have been sold in this country.
Q: I drove my brother's BMW for a week while helping him after he had wrist surgery and I especially loved one feature: a driver armrest that slides back and forth to be in the place where you really need the support for your arm. I've never really experienced this feature before and I'm wondering if any other carmakers have them.
A: Sliding front armrests in the center console are becoming increasingly popular, often as options. You can find them, for example, on some models of Saabs and Infinitis, and on the 2014 Nissan Sentra. A different type of center-console moving armrest is offered by Audi – it moves up and down.
Q: My husband runs his tires a little "low" for what he says will be a softer ride –about 5 or 6 pounds less than recommended on the door. I'm pretty sure this isn't good, but what are the potential problems with doing this?
A: The list is so long. Steering precision is reduced, as is cornering stability. Tread life, in the long run, will be reduced. There can be a buildup of heat, leading to tire failure in some cases.
A study a few years back by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that driving on tires under-inflated by 25 percent or more are three times more likely to be involved in a crash related to tire problems than vehicles with proper inflation.
Moreover, under-inflated tires can increase fuel consumption by as much as 6 percent. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 50 percent to 80 percent of cars on the road are bouncing about on under-inflated tires.

Food was bad, transport took too much time, room was in a poor state, personnel was weird
Nothing to like about this place.
The room was like a shed at the back of the garden that had been turned into an extra room. It was very old and not very clean. It was chaos at breakfast with no food left at 08:30am. No one really seemed to care when told there was nothing left. I decided to leave and eat at the airport instead. This was the end of a 2 week holiday where every other hotel in South Africa was excellent in the same price range. Don't risk this place.
Change of bed linen to more modern
It was a little cheaper than many of the other airport hotels, and I enjoyed having a free breakfast. They also provide a free shuttle to and from the airport, so that was nice as well.
The breakfast food, though kept in warmers, was not as hot as I would have liked. It was practically room temperature.
Great location.
Bedding was blacked and had stains. breakfast bowl were full of hand marks and prints. food was not great. was not worth the money!! the location is great but the rest was awful.
Cold water shower
Very convenient. The shuttle service was great. Nice place to stay.
Space, friendly staff.
Breakfast was pathetic. Furnishings old Duvets poor condition Difficult getting in and out if the gate.
Pick-up at the airport Size of the rooms Breakfast
The wall are like paper so you'll have the impression that you're not sleeping alone. Old school room To expensive for what it was.
Proximity to airport Friendly staff Comfortable room Packed breakfast as we left early for our flight (without requesting)
No teaspoon to stir tea/take out tea bag Driver late to take us to airport
Free shuttle transport. Friendly and hospitable staff
The dinner was not good
Quick access to airport Complementary transfer
I was locked in the premises and almost missed my flight - none of the emergency numbers worked and no staff were available to open gates. I stayed for 2 nights - my room wasn't cleaned or refreshed at all during the stay
Free shuttle service to the airport
Airport shuttle Quiet rooms Comfortable beds
Furniture and facilities are a bit tired and out of date.
Very hospitable staff and promptness of services
Compund appeared crowded abd over developed
Poor breakfast and ducks barking all night
We had a nice 2 nights stay before our flight to Cape Town and i like the most the shuttle service which is free of charge they pick us up at midnight in OR Tambo and the take us again 4 in the morning which most of the hotels they dont do that. Keep it up the good work guys. The guy from Zanzibar says thank u guys
The shuttle
In the bathroom the sink was not plumbed in water everywhere, bed was hard, could hear other people opening their doors because they creek, then at 3 in the morning a duck was quaking !
Shuttle service, proximity to airport, breakfast. Hotel staff were helpful and efficient.
Television did not work
Free shuttle bus
The heater in the room did not work and it was a cold night
location free shuttle
breakfeast not-included if you leave before 7 am insulation : cold and air in the room
The Shower was too small and not built correctly it was steep and dangurous as there was no space and it was high from the floor one had to step out of it so to me it was not user friendly it should be fixed
friendly, and close to airport, good value.
The location is great, close to OR Tambo and Gautrain station. Staff/shuttle driver friendly and accommodating.
Friendly staff that could not have done more for us. They even catered for my fussy eater. Airport shuttle is very convenient. Will definitely stay again. Ten out of ten for them.

Proving once again the old adage that you know a technology is hot when the writs start flying, the Wall Street Journal has reported that ZeniMax Media, the owners of Oculus CTO John Carmack's former home id Software, has sent Oculus VR and Facebook, which agreed in March to buy Oculus for $400 million in cash and $1.6 billion in Facebook shares, legal letters. These letters assert that the Rift virtual reality headset was built in part using intellectual property Carmack developed while still at id, and which is therefore owned by ZeniMax.
(Update: Oculus VR has responded at length: their response is discussed here. )
This is a bump in the road on what has been something of a Cinderella story for the virtual reality startup, which has gone from a Kickstarter campaign that achieved nearly ten times its requested $250,000 in August 2012 to a long run as the poster child for the new wave of virtual reality headsets, culminating in its ten-figure acquisition by Facebook less than two years later.
Whether prescient or simply ahead of the curve, the Rift headset – initially a commodity tablet LCD screen held in a pair of goggles to create affordable stereoscopic 3D virtual reality – has seen high-profile developers flock to it, and giants like Sony Sony launch their own VR offerings in its wake. This week CCP, creators of the Eve Online massively multiplayer online game, will show off the latest developments to Valkyrie, the first game designed for Oculus Rift integration from the ground up, at the studio's Icelandic fan event.
Progress on the hardware has also moved on. The latest iteration of the Rift prototype, codenamed "Crystal Cove" was shown at CES, and added the ability to track head motions in space, as well as changes of orientation. It was reviewed in glowing terms by Forbes' Jason Evangelho:
The Oculus Rift is so damn-near perfect that I honestly think "virtual reality withdrawals" will be a common diagnosis in the near future. But their technology could also bring drastic improvements to education, therapy, things like digitizing artifacts and archives. Historical time-traveling, even.
The purchase by Facebook shortly thereafter promised the one thing Oculus VR had lacked previously – the financial grunt to produce with scale, and to negotiate on an equal platform with major hardware and software companies. Suddenly, the plucky upstarts were in the vanguard of Facebook's transition from social network to technology company.
Obviously, something had to give.
Court in the Net
ZeniMax's claim was outlined in a lengthy email to Engadget (Forbes.com has reached out to ZeniMax to ask if they had any further comment on the issue), the relevant section of which reads:
The proprietary technology and know-how Mr. Carmack developed when he was a ZeniMax employee, and used by Oculus, are owned by ZeniMax. Well before the Facebook transaction was announced, Mr. Luckey acknowledged in writing ZeniMax's legal ownership of this intellectual property. It was further agreed that Mr. Luckey would not disclose this technology to third persons without approval. Oculus has used and exploited ZeniMax's technology and intellectual property without authorization, compensation or credit to ZeniMax.
ZeniMax and Oculus previously attempted to reach an agreement whereby ZeniMax would be compensated for its intellectual property through equity ownership in Oculus but were unable to reach a satisfactory resolution. ZeniMax believes it is necessary to address these matters now and will take the necessary action to protect its interests.
So, in effect, the claim is that when Carmack left id Software to join Oculus VR, he took with him technology and information developed while he was at iD, with the undertaking that this technology would not be disclosed or exploited outside agreed bounds.
Clearly, any equity deal would be rendered impossible by the conclusion of the acquisition of Oculus VR by Facebook.
Carmack and Palmer Luckey, Oculus VR's founder, were both investigating the possibilities of virtual reality before the Oculus Rift had an official existence. Luckey previously worked on a VR project at the University of Southern California called Shayd, for which he developed a head-mounted display called the PR4.
Shayd, Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey's first dive into virtual reality.
At around the same time, John Carmack, the guiding intelligence behind many of the innovations, from Wolfenstein to Doom 3, that defined how 3D environments work in games, was experimenting with virtual reality, using various headsets, in pursuit of the next technological breakthrough at id, a subsidiary of ZeniMax Media.
Before launching the Kickstarter campaign for the Rift, Luckey sent Carmack a prototype, after a discussion on a 3D environment modelling board. Carmack took this prototype and built a tech demo using the Doom 3 BFG Edition, an upcoming "director's cut" of the graphically pioneering 2004 game. This was shown off to great effect at the ZeniMax stand at E3 in 2012.
The Kickstarter video for the Oculus Rift, featuring Valve's Gabe Newell and John Carmack
Carmack and Oculus remained in contact, and in August 2013 Carmack officially joined Oculus VR as CTO. Initially acting as a technical consultant to id, he resigned and committed entirely to Oculus VR three months later, after completing work on the id Tech 5 game engine, which will be used in the upcoming Wolfenstein: The New Order and Doom 4.
I spoke to Luckey and Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe last year, shortly after Carmack left id Software. At that point, there were 40,000 Oculus Rift developer kits in circulation, and momentum was building towards the next iteration – what would be known as Crystal Cove. Asked about the value of John Carmack, Iribe highlighted his unique, prodigious ability to bring hardware considerations into software design:
He is kind definitely a unique engineer, in the sense that he wasn't just the lead architect and programmer of Doom, which was the first "two and a half D" experience. You could say Castle Wolfenstein was the very beginning, and then Doom added the mouse, and then Quake is where he really introduced full, perspective-corrected 3D, where you could go above or below things and look up and down.
It really is what 3D still is today, and he developed the software, and then went to the GPU [Graphics Processing Unit] producers and started working with hardware companies to put those algorithms into hardware, to make 3D GPUs. So he has this really good understanding of the hardware. With Oculus and VR, it's rare to have someone who understands the full latency loop from the motion to the photon hitting your eye, who can actually go back to the hardware company – the MEMS [Micro-electro-mechanical systems] company, or the CPU company, or the GPU company, or the sensor company, and say "actually, I need the hardware done this way, so I can make my software deliver the best experience".
He did that for 3D, and now he's doing it with us for VR. Leave it to Carmack to be there at the very beginning and make sure hardware meets software! That's a very unique thing – not just looking at the hardware and trying to make the software work with it, but saying "no, this isn't good enough, we need to do it better. Let's get in touch with the hardware companies and push on them to make even better technology optimised for VR."
We're now doing that, and that's a very exciting place. And some of that technology we're building inside Oculus. We're building the hardware ourselves to make sure it's done right. Nobody's really done it before, and it takes guys like Carmack – these creative software engineers – to look at the full loop.
At the time, Carmack's departure from id was described as amicable, and the narrative – of one of the architects of the modern first-person shooter moving from the womb of Doom on to a new, disruptive project – was an attractive one. This was, of course, also when Oculus VR was a small company, funded initially by Kickstarter and then by a $16 million round of venture funding lead by Spark Capital and a more recent $75 million Series B round led by Marc Andreesen of Andreesen Horowitz, rather than a subsidiary of Facebook.
This impending transition has been a painful one for some supporters - Minecraft developer Markus "Notch" Persson shut down negotiations about an Oculus-driven version of his hugely popular game, describing Facebook as "creepy" – and it fundamentally changes the way Oculus is perceived and operates in the market.
Forbes' own Erik Kain suggested that a better partner might have been Microsoft, although Facebook has been assiduous in its assurances that it sees Oculus as a strategic acquisition to broaden its portfolio beyond its eponymous social network, rather than a hardware solution to add virtuality to cat pictures, Buzzfeed quiz results and inappropriate accounts of Bacchanalian revels from coworkers and parents.
Contacted for comment, Oculus VR's PR representation gave this statement.
It's unfortunate, but when there's this type of transaction, people come out of the woodwork with ridiculous and absurd claims. We intend to vigorously defend Oculus and its investors to the fullest extent.
With VR touted as the coming wave for gaming, entertainment and a range of other applications, the stakes here are interesting – and also perhaps indicative of the difficulties of a company moving so quickly from plucky garage startup to billion-dollar acquisition.
Carmack, meanwhile, never one to mince words, has taken to Twitter, saying:
No work I have ever done has been patented. Zenimax owns the code that I wrote, but they don't own VR.
The distinction drawn here is important: if he took with him to Oculus code that he wrote, for example, to run Doom 3: BFG Edition while a full-time employee of ZeniMax, this would be a case of removing code owned by his employer. Whereas it would be much harder to demonstrate that a piece of patentable "know-how" (for example, on how to design the physical headset, or an interface layout optimized for virtual environments) was company property if no patent had been filed in the company's name. Much hinges on what is meant by "technology and know-how" in ZeniMax's statement.
As VR as a sector hots up, it is worth noting that nobody has yet brought an affordable, successful product to the market taking advantage of the commoditization in hardware that made the Oculus Rift prototype possible. With Sony charging hard with Project Morpheus, its own prototypical head-mounted display, further drama can be expected as the race to store shelves heats up. In fact, it is virtually inevitable.

Perfect! They were healthy, vegan and good. Ive never tasted vegan pancakes that actually had flavor. YUM!:)
I love crepes and this is a great recipe. I made a few alterations: I decreased the olive oil to 1 tbsp. and added 3 tbsp. of vanilla. The spices and flaxseed give them a great flavor.

Snorkeling excursions provide tourists with the opportunity to experience what lies beneath the water's surface. Swim around Curacao's coral reefs and with the island's unique marine life.
1 review
We booked this last minute but I was so glad we did. We took about a half hour drive from the ship to pick up another small boat on the island. From there it took us on a short ride where we went to a sunken tug boat. It was so clear and fish everywhere. The instructors were really nice as well. My husband is not a big fan of the water so he stayed on the boat while I snorkeled. After getting back on the boat we had rum punch and a slice of watermelon. They also served a hot pocket looking thing that was either filled with cheese or beef they were deep fried so really good!
The scenery in Curacao is like no other we loved all the pastel buildings and things to see. The moving bridge kind of freaked me out it swings from side to side for ships to pass through. However if you get stuck on one side then there is a ferry that is free that will take you back.

Once again rented a car and drove up to hit all of the beaches that we could along the SW coast. Grote knip and Playa Jeremi were among our favorites. Spent a few dollars to go to private beach at south end and had some great snorkeling and very nice beach. Curacao had the most beautiful blue water out of any place we have visited yet. Pictures don't do it justice!!

The air conditioned bus that took us over was roomy enough for our group that we got to spread out comfortably. Once at the snorkel site, there was a beautiful beach you could sit at to apply sunblock, then there was a rocky entrance into the water for about 10 feet so it was a very cautious walk until you could swim without worry of tripping. We got to snorkel out about 200 feet along the rocky coast to the sunken tugboat where we got to see a guide cause a feeding frenzy with the nearby fish. There was a lot of fun to be had when hundreds of fish would just swim past you like you were just another type of fish they had seen before, no worry of being eaten for dinner.

The reasons for Milburn's departure are unclear, as she was not available for an interview. Her departure comes as top U of S officials endure harsh criticism from campus groups and others across Canada.
Some applauded her eight years of service on the board, saying she provided a steady hand and sound fi-nancial management in uncertain times.
"Susan has been an excellent board member. She has excellent leadership qualities," said U of S secretary Elizabeth Williamson.
Others say she was a central figure in the deepening controversies plaguing the university, including the decision to hand tenure veto power to the president.
"We didn't see a lot of good decisions being made," said Graduate Students' Association president Izabela Vlahu.
Questions are also being raised about Milburn's legitimacy as a board member and chair.
Extraordinary measures were reportedly taken to retain her - and block other board candidates from replacing her - after her term had expired.
"It was an egregious violation of proper process. It just isn't democratic," said U of S senator Mary Jean Hande.
Senator Ron Schriml said the U of S senate is supposed to be the body that represents the community's interests, an equal partner in the university's government structure.
That hasn't happened, and Milburn's extended stay is a prime example of that disrespect.
"I'm concerned about the breaking of the rules, of the lack of democracy," Schriml said.
The U of S senate names two people to the board of governors. In July 2006, one of those people was Milburn, a Saskatoon financial adviser and U of S graduate. She had served on Crown corporation boards and chaired the U of S alumni association.
By the summer of 2011, Milburn was one year away from the end of her second three-year term, the maximum allowed at the time.
According to Williamson, the board of governors was concerned about the potential lack of experience and knowledge created by Milburn's departure. The board resolved to ask the government if it would use one of its selections to name Milburn to the board for another three years, according to the minutes of the board's June 24, 2011 meeting, obtained by The StarPhoenix. The board also asked the provincial government to change the law to allow for a third term.
Other board members can serve three terms, but the senate selections had always been limited to two. Soon after, the U of S senate began its search for someone to replace Milburn as its candidate.
Three candidates were apparently found and an election was expected to follow.
In the fall, however, the provincial government rejected the plan. It also said changes to the law would take at least a year.
On Nov. 15, then-board of governors chair Nancy Hopkins wrote to then-U of S chancellor Vera Pezer, telling her the news. Pezer, as chancellor, sat as chair of the senate.
Hopkins asked Pezer to suspend the search for a Milburn replacement. She said it was "in the interest of continuity in this time of institutional transition."
In April 2012, Pezer presented a motion, passed by the senate, suspending the search for a replacement.
She and Hopkins cited the clause which allowed candidates to remain until their successor is elected.
Milburn was named chair of the board of governors during this time, a post she has now held for more than a year.
At an April senate meeting, an attempt was made to re-appoint Milburn, even though the new laws had not been passed, according to Hande and others. That was soon aborted. Another Regina lawyer was put forward as a candidate, but the election was removed from the agenda.
Williamson said senators hadn't had enough time to evaluate the new candidate. The vote will now take place in October and any senator can make a recommendation with proper notice, Williamson said.
The new laws allowing for a third term came into effect in mid-May.
Williamson said due process was followed throughout and the senate approved each change.
"The goal here is always to act in the best interests of the university," Williamson said.
Others say bending, and possibly breaking, the rules is never good for the university.
"The more democracy, the better. This top-down approach isn't working for anyone," said recently appointed U of S senator Simon Enoch.
Milburn is expected to remain until a replacement is elected at the U of S senate meeting in October.

Overseas investors sold a net 1.96 billion rupees ($37.2 million) of Indian stocks yesterday, reducing their investment in the equities this year to 431.7 billion rupees, according to the nation's market regulator.
Foreigners bought 33.5 billion rupees of shares and sold 35.5 billion rupees, the Securities & Exchange Board of India said on its website today. Foreign funds sold a net 10.4 billion rupees of bonds, paring their inflow into debt this year to 182.9 billion rupees, the data show. They put 421 billion rupees in bonds in 2011.
They've sold a net 7.78 billion rupees of shares this month after being net buyers in the first three months of 2012.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee last month proposed to introduce the General Anti-Avoidance Rules to check evasion of taxes by companies through misuse of tax treaties with nations. Offshore funds are concerned the new rules, which must be passed by lawmakers, will apply to their holdings of local shares.
Foreigners have invested 4.876 trillion rupees in stocks and 1.38 trillion rupees in bonds since they were allowed into the country in 1993.
India's $1.2 trillion stock market, Asia's fifth-biggest, is influenced by flows from overseas. Inflows from abroad surged to a record in 2010, making the BSE India Sensitive Index (SENSEX) the best performer among the world's top 10 markets. The largest- ever outflow in 2008 led to the biggest annual slump of 52 percent.
Offshore funds pulled out 27.1 billion rupees from local equities last year, compared with record flows of 1.33 trillion rupees in 2010, as Europe's debt crisis threatened the global economy and cooled demand for emerging-market assets. That led to a 25 percent drop in the Sensex, the second worst annual loss, and sent the rupee to an all-time low.
The regulator provides data on shares bought and sold by large investors, including trades in the primary and secondary markets, with a delay of at least a day.

Ellis? I guess he had a nice Southern drawl.
No, but seriously-Did I ever tell you about the time my buddy Ellis stole a car from the mall and ran over some zombies?
Alright, alright I'll stop joking around now. Ellis was nice. I wish we could have met under better circumstances, and…Better timing. I feel like we could have been good together.
Ah! As a team. Teammates. I guess you could say that, I miss him.

When I came into work last Thursday morning, I noticed that my PC (Compaq Deskpro 2000), running FreeBSD 3.4 was at the login prompt and my WIN NT machine was at the boot up password. I realized then that the inevitable had happened....Power Outage! Thinking that power outages/cold reboots meant death to most UNIX systems, I hurried to prevent this from happening again and hooked up an APC Smart-UPS 1000 that we had sitting in one of our storage closets.

Nintendo quickly countered with a 16-bit system of its own, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (most often simply called the Super Nintendo or SNES). Remembering how successful the Control Deck bundle of the NES was, which came with Super Mario Bros., Nintendo packaged a copy of Mario's newest platformer, Super Mario World, with every console at launch. Notable launch games: Super Mario World: Super Mario World proved a perfect showcase for the Super Nintendo's ability to run colorful, detailed games (at least when compared to the simplistic NES). It also featured the first appearance of Yoshi, Mario's famous dinosaur steed with an appetite for just about anything. Super Mario World has an average review score of 94.44% according to aggregate site GameRankings. F-Zero: It's hard to imagine a time when Nintendo didn't have Mario Kart around to tout as its premier racing series, but the genre was relatively new to the Japanese gaming giant in 1991. F-Zero featured a futuristic setting that showed off the Super Nintendo's Mode 7 graphical capabilities, which allowed a flat background layer to quickly scroll across the screen and simulate depth. F-Zero has an average score of 82.83% on GameRankings. Did you know? Wonder why the SNES had such a curved top, especially when compared to the flat surface of the NES? That's because Nintendo was sick of gamers resting their drinks on the system, which often led to spilling and damage of the console. Sega Saturn Above: The Sega Saturn looked like a grown-up Genesis.Image Credit: Sega Launch date: May 11, 1995 Launch price: $399 The story: Sega tried to prolong the life of the Genesis as long as it could with add-on hardware like the disk-based Sega CD and top-loaded 32X, but neither really caught on. The Saturn was finally set to succeed the aging Genesis on September 2, 1995. However, Sega surprised everyone when they announced at the first Electronic Entertainment Expo on May 11, 1995 that its new system was available immediately, but only at Toys "R" Us, Babbage's, Software Etc., and Electronics Boutique. Notable launch games: Panzer Dragoon: Panzer Dragoon dazzled gamers back in 1995 with its 3D graphics and epic levels experienced on the back of a flying dragon. It even spawned two sequels on the Saturn, Panzer Dragoon II Zwei in 1996 and Panzer Dragoon Saga in 1998. The original has an average review score of 90.92% according to GameRankings. Virtua Fighter: Just like Altered Beast showed consumers the Genesis' ability to play arcade-quality titles, Virtua Fighter replicated the then state-of-the-art 3D graphics of Sega's popular fighter from the arcades. An updated version of the game, Virtua Fighter Remix, featured a higher polygon count and was later mailed to every registered Saturn owner in the U.S. for free. The original Saturn release of Virtua Fighter has an average review score of 89.57% according to GameRankings. Did you know? Sega started to publicly talk about its next system, eventually known as the Dreamcast, just two years after the struggling Saturn debuted. This early reveal of a successor caused bad Saturn sales to get even worse. Sony PlayStation Above: Sony's first system, the PlayStation.Image Credit: Sony Launch date: September 9, 1995 Launch price: $299 (came with a demo disk) The story: Sega released the Saturn early in hopes of getting a head start on its new competition, Sony. The electronics giant was about to release its first system, the PlayStation. At the same Electronic Entertainment Expo where Sega announced that the Saturn was out months before its planned September 2, 1995 release date, Sony unveiled that the PlayStation would be $100 cheaper than Sega's console. It didn't take the PlayStation too long after its September 9, 1995 release date to overcome the Saturn's lifetime sales. Notable launch games: Battle Arena Toshinden: The Saturn may have had Virtua Fighter, but the PlayStation had Battle Arena Toshinden. The 3D fighter featured weapons-based battles before the Soul Edge/Calibur series ever debuted. Battle Arena Toshinden has an average review score of 85% according to GameRankings. Ridge Racer: It's Ridge Racer! Ridgeeeee Racerrrrrr. Long before the series became a meme, Ridge Racer was the premier racing franchise on the PlayStation. The first one debuted with Sony's first system and showed off the PlayStation's ability to render 3D environments. Ridge Racer has an average review score of 81% according to GameRankings. Did you know? Sony was originally helping Nintendo make a CD add-on for the Super Nintendo. Nintendo eventually backed out of the project, but Sony decided to release the device as a standalone system anyway, giving birth to the original PlayStation.

Extremely friendly hosts are more than willing to help whenever they can. The camp store has a lot of supplies/tools for RV's. They are pet friendly. Rest rooms and showers are clean. If we lived closer to this campground it would definitely be on our list of campgrounds to revisit.
Dayville, Oregon
Fish House Inn and RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
We have stayed in Fish House RV Park twice. We are traveling cross country so we stayed on our way to the West coast and on the way back. We loved this place both times. It's a very quiet, extremely clean and well groomed campsite. Owner is very nice and keeps the place running smoothly. We ate at the café in town and it was delicious. Gift shop and ice cream store were very good also. The people in the city of Dayville are amazingly friendly. Would definitely give this RV and town a 10 all around.

The NBA Needs To Consider Relocation To Seattle And Louisville, Not Expansion

NBA Owners Reject Kings' Move To Seattle, And A Maloof Brother Was Chased Into A Closet
If a Maloof brother peeks out of his closet and sees his shadow, you know it's six more months of the Kings remaining in Sacramento.

Holy Crap This Seattle Sonics Children's Book Is Depressing
A new children's book details the happy-turned-tragic history of the Seattle Supersonics, the city's NBA franchise that up and left in 2008. It has the saddest title ever, and is hilarious. More, after the jump.

Schoolism is excited to welcome Pixar character artist, Daniel Arriaga, as a guest instructor! Critiqued Session students will follow the same "Character Design I with Stephen Silver" lectures and curriculum, but receive personalized video feedback from Daniel Arriaga.
This course consists of 9 lectures presented over 14 weeks.
The course costs $998; two schedule courses open on January 14, 2014 and July 8, 2014.
Lesson 1 - What is character design?
Throughout this lesson, we will examine what character design is as well as your responsibilities as a designer in the animation studio. I will discuss my own experiences, how I got started, as well as doing a visual breakdown of my influences, thereby, giving you a better understanding of what I'm thinking about when seeking inspiration. In this class, you will be given your first assignment, which will consist of creating a character based off a description so that I can see what your skill level is, giving me a better understanding of how I will work with you one-on-one.
Lesson 2 - Thinking, Looking, Doing.
"Get the fundamentals down and everything else you do will rise." This week I will be discussing Thinking, Looking and Doing. We will cover more design fundamentals and answer the most common question, "Where do I begin?" We will cover topics such as basic shapes, variation and the importance of strong silhouettes. I will discuss my own personal drawing exercises with you, which will help break those artist's blocks that we all get at times. You will also be given your scripted assignment that you will carry out from start to finish.
Lesson 3 - Construction/Caricature
In this class, we will cover the importance of construction. We will discuss what it means to avoid the ladder and tap into the realm of caricature. We will examine design issues such as contrast in angles and shapes and much more. I will give and demonstrate for you another great drawing exercise that you will be using for years to come. On top of all this, you will also be able to download my own 20 week drawing program. We will have two assignments this week.
Lesson 4 - The features
We will discuss more design principles and start breaking down some individual features, such as hands, eyes, noses, ears, and mouths. We will start fleshing out our characters some more.
Lesson 5 - Clean-up
In this lesson, we will cover scale and proportion. I will also do a lecture on clean-ups. As a designer, you may not often be called upon to perform this task, but you might have to do it from time to time. This will not be an illustrator lecture, but a clean-up-by-hand procedure. I will also be demonstrating another creative side assignment for you to have fun with during the week as well as continuing on with your main assignment.
Lesson 6 - Turnarounds
Today we will cover the important topic of turnarounds, a must if you want to work as a character designer in the industry.
Lesson 7 - Expressions and Attitudes
This week we will be covering expressions and attitudes. We will cover rythm, balance and flow. I will also do a brief color demo on my characters. You will be given another creative exercise to do during the week in addition to your main assignment.
Lesson 8 - Memory sketching and how to approach keeping and drawing in a sketchbook daily.
Today, we will be discussing the importance of drawing in your sketchbook, what you should be observing and why this will help you grow. We will also talk about the importance of memory sketching and what to look for.
Lesson 9 - The business of art and putting together a successful portfolio.
We will discuss the business side of art, being a professional, meeting deadlines, ending procrastination and ways to simplify your life. This means getting organized and staying on track. I will also cover putting together your portfolio to get yourself started.

I'm 900% done with the government shutdown. Estimates say that as of tomorrow, it will have created economic losses on par with the Colorado floods. People in need, especially children and elders, are still without vital services. And did you hear about the salmonella outbreak that the FDA can't report accurately, because they have only a skeleton crew of inspectors?
It was a childish move to begin with. Tell Speaker Boehner to grow the f up.

Anna Rifle Inspired Nail Art | The Beauty Department
I've always been in love with Rifle, especially their floral artwork. So I fell in love with this Rifle inspired nail art by The Beauty Department! There are detailed step-by-step instructions for each flower style, plus a colour swatch of all the brands/colours they used in the tutorial. If you want to see more of the gorgeous Rifle wares, you can click here and for you Aussies, you can buy Rifle products from Lark (I really, really, really want a Rifle phone cover!)
Short Hair Updo | The Beauty Department
One of the requests I get all the time is requests for short hair tutorials. But it's so hard to find ones that aren't just 'slick it back with a headband'. So I love this updo - a gorgeous combo of braids and bouffant. Super pretty!
Mix & Match Mani | The Beauty Department
I'm loving this mix & match mani with it's dots and lines! This might take a while to get perfect but it's worth it!
Finding Your Face Shape | The Beauty Department
I'm forever wanting haircuts that don't suit me. I see a celebrity and think - oh that's cute, I would love to have my hair like that! After checking my face shape on this handy little guide, I realise that I'm a pear faced lady who really would not look fantastic with a pixie cut or a middle part. And to be honest, Kelly Osborn always has amazing hair so I'm going to Google her and follow her lead, especially with that gorgeous top knot! There are guides for every face type and examples of great hairstyles so follow the guide and learn what suits your face!
Soothing A Sunburn | The Beauty Department
It's been intensely hot the last couple of weeks and even with sunscreen and shade I always seem to get 'touched by the sun'. Dammit! This tutorial teaches you how to make a cooling tea bag pack that will help with the sting.
Confetti Nails | The Beauty Department
If you're wanting to get in on the holiday spirit but not keen on wearing a jumper with a reindeer on it, try this festive nails instead! How do they get the look of confetti? With actual confetti of course! Top with a clear seal and you'll be ready to party the night away!
Nail Polish Storage | The Beauty Department
All around my house you will find bottles of nail polish. The weirdest place I've found it? Next to my driveway. I think I painted my nails in my car, put it next to the car and forgot about it. Yep. Anyway, a storage box would be a lotmore practical and I'd be able to find the one I want without having to go on a treasure hunt! I also really like the way each bottle has the colour painted on top - a lot easier to work out which colour you want at a peek.
The Best Blush For Your Skin Tone | The Beauty Department
As a bit of a makeup novice, I usually choose colours on what I like instead of what would actually look good on me, leading to some very dodgy makeup choices! This is a perfect little guide for all of us on how to choose the best blush - something I love to wear! I've been wearing an apricot tone and realised the other day that it makes my skin look weirdly yellow. Time to go out and buy myself a pale pink!
All Black Manicure | The Beauty Department
It's funny how just like fashion, beauty has it's trends that are here one day, gone the next! Matte manicures used to be the new black. Then it was the crackle, the magnet manicure and now every girl worth her lipstick is getting lacquer manis! But personally, I'll always love the look of matte nailpolish - that's why I love this combo mani. Though my history with using tape with nailpolish has been… murky… I'm willing to try again to get this gorgeous effect!
Easy Brows | The Beauty Department
Quite honestly, I've never really cared about my eyebrows. Previous painful, messy and too thin attempts via a rude and inexperienced beauty therapist made me very apprehensive! But seeing these truly gorgeous brows as inspired me to make an effort. Using the Too Faced Brow Envy Kit all you have to do is use the templates in the kit which includes brow powders, tweezers, and brushes to create perfect brows. I'm buying my kit now!
Herringbone Manicure | The Beauty Department
Wow is all I can say! What an adorable and fun manicure! I love when people have a mani with one fingernail in a different style, and this is a perfect example. OK, so it might take a little practice to be able to do this design but the effect is worth the effort right?!
Scalloped Eyeliner | The Beauty Department
I am a complete klutz when it comes to eyeliner so I avoid it like the plague, but this has to be one of the coolest patterns I've ever seen! Maybe not suitable for work (though I guess that depends where you work!) it's so fun and really makes your eyes pop!
Mani Monday: Cheetah Print | The Beauty Department
Mani Mondays on TBD are my favourite! They always have amazing DIYs that make it look so easy. If only I was ambidextrous then my right hand nails would look as good as my left hand nails. But you know what they say - practice makes perfect!
Coconut & Rose Body Scrub | The Beauty Department
This might be the most perfect beauty gift to give someone that I've seen in ages! Once you've layered your ingredients, the giftee (or you!) smushes it all up before rubbing it on. The coconut oil is at the bottom of the jar and looks 'solid' at room temperature. On top of that they have layered rose petals, then raw sugar and finally super moisturising jojoba oil!
DIY Hair Necklace | The Beauty Department
I usually only post DIYs that I myself would want to do, but I gotta be honest - putting this in my hair would end up a massive, knotty disaster. But I love it so much I had to share it anyway! It reminds me of the very popular trend of long dangly ear cuffs that are everywhere at the moment. This does require a little skill - mainly using the pliers to open and close the loops of the chain - but once you get the hang of it you'll be addicted to jewelry making and there's no turning back! Haha!

Picture - Meat Loaf and ITV Studios
* MEAT LOAF FALLS ILL ON LIVE TV Veteran rocker MEAT LOAF has sparked fresh fears for his health after he was taken ill on live TV on Wednesday (29Feb12). The Bat Out of Hell hitmaker was due to be interviewed on British talk show Loose Women and was seen on screen joking around with a banana on his head while waiting backstage. But just minutes before he was due for his interview, the rocker fell ill and was unable to appear. No details of his condition were given. Host Andrea McLean told viewers, A little bit of sad news - I'm afraid Meat Loaf has taken unwell so he's unable to join us for the end of the show... Meat Loaf, I hope you feel better soon. In July last year (11), the rocker passed out during two concerts and later blamed both incidents on a lack of oxygen aggravating his asthma.

Max Payne 3. Worst of all, I paid full price for it. The first two games were great, so I got this one as soon as it came out. For years after I finished the second one, I was hoping they'd come out with another one. Now I wish they would have just let the series die off, instead of killing it in such a gruesome way. Way to get our hopes up, and then shit all over them, Rockstar Games!
Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, collector's edition.What a buggy PoS that was. T'was also the game that made me swear never to buy another game again unless I had tried the cracked copy first to make sure it was worth paying for. Never regretted that decision.
Daikatana. Yes I bought it, yes it was awful and yes I still have the game.SiN Episodes: Emergence. Not because it was bad -- I liked where it was going, especially being a fan of the '97 original -- but because the whole project died on the table after tons of lead-up. All I see is lost potential when I look at the (comically overlarge DVD-style) disc case on my shelf.Road Warrior, the sequel to Quarantine (this is really reaching back into the depths here). Completely terrible and nothing like the sandbox-style first game, which was almost an early GTA3 precursor. Played it for about an hour.--"The counsel of fools is all the more dangerous the more of them there are." -Ólafr Höskuldsson
SWTOR, Rift, Borderlands 2.
It's definitely interesting seeing some of the choices people are talking about in here.
Brink. What a waste of money for that preorder. $50 for an hour and a half time played.
Duke Nukem Forever. I was a huge Duke fan and was excited for it. After about 20 minutes I was disappointed. I finished it to say I did but it was bad.
For relatively recent purchases, there aren't really any that I completely regret buying. Two I enjoyed briefly but I don't think were worth the money I paid were Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2.Diablo 3 was just way too repetitive, and pretty much being required to use the Auction House to progress killed it for me after a while.GW2 had several innovations, but for some reason, the game started boring me after only 3 weeks. I know I'm in the minority on this, but the characters and skills just seemed bland (probably added to by the fact I wanted to play a ranger, which seems to be one of the least developed classes).I don't regret the time I spent on either, but the price of the game wasn't commensurate with the amount of enjoyment on either of them.For older games, my most disappointing purchase ever was probably Front Page Sports Football Pro '96 or '97, I can't remember which it was. They took what was probably the best football game I'd ever played (the '93 and '95 versions) and turned it into a huge mess, with game errors and major speed/sim issues.--Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?Pinky: I think so, Brain, but "Snowball for Windows"?
Fable 3, played a total of 53 minutes according to steam. Game just never clicked for me.Dead Rising 2, Interesting concept, but just boring getting around from place to place.And honorable mentions to both Battlefield: Bad company 2 and Battlefield 3, the Realtek issues with punkbuster causing system hardlocks at random sucked.
Man, that's too bad you mention BF3--it is the best military shooter out there, it sucks you're having hardware problems with PB.Getting a headshot at just under 1200m as qualifying as an expert shooter in the military--they really introduced well the bullet velocity and trajectory (if a bit unrealistic--there is no rise, only a fall).--Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
I feel like a noob, I still haven't purchased BF3 lol
It looks gorgeous, and the balance is well done--you can become a sniper, a grunt, a tank driver, a Cobra pilot, or F/A-18 or F-35 pilot on the same map.--Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Rift, SWToR, D3 and annual pass. Mostly the annual pass for D3.--Goggalor: "Freedom of speech is not freedom of asshattery."
I'd vote for D3. i didn't even get pass the Third Part of the story. Blizzard sure knows how to market.
It looks gorgeous, and the balance is well done--you can become a sniper, a grunt, a tank driver, a Cobra pilot, or F/A-18 or F-35 pilot on the same map.
I think the ones i regret the most are the FF MMO's, Xi and XIV.... mostly XIV, though. What an utter piece of shit. Some cities looked ok, but that was about as far as it went, it was like they'd never made a game before.D3's up there. I had mixed emotions about that game. I said from day 1, as I'm sure many recall, that the graphics sucked for what it should have been, and then when I bought it after hearing the praises (never buy a game you're unsure about at release...) and thought...hey, this isn't too bad. Until the reality hits you that the shit you find isn't going to be doing you any favors and that you HAVE to use the AH, and that it's already getting played and you're not a player...oh, and the RMAH...yeah, that worked out great, didn't it?Surprised BF:BC2 was mentioned. I freaking loved that game, the original bad company as well. One of the few BF's where the story was just as much fun as the MP....well, almost, anyway. Great games....I forget the name of the map, but the open field with 4 little town-ish areas that was used as a tank / sniper / chopper fest was just fucking awesome. (I still can't fly a chopper to save my life)--I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.- Edward Everett Hale My Blog - Raising Connor
Getting suckered into that annual pass for WoW. I should of known better. I think I only played WoW during the pass three times and every one of those was playing Pandera when it was beta. Should of known better the stupidity of the idea to commit to a year to a game that I was losing interest in the first place because of the carrot on a stick of a free game that was D3, which I haven't played in a while now and only have one character.But anyways I let the annual pass run its course and canceled my WoW subscription. I may come back to it or I may not.Live and learn I guess. Lesson is to never commit to any subscription based game for longer than six months no matter what is offered to make you stay longer. It's a suckers deal.--The true patriot is motivated by a sense of responsibility, and out of self interest for himself, his family, and the future of his country to resist government abuse of power. He rejects the notion that patriotism means obedience to the state.

SWTOR or Warhammer.Don't regret any WoW expansions, including MoP even though I didn't hit cap.Don't regret D3 (via annual pass) as it's a fun distraction.Civ 5 is/was pretty bad, IMO. Civ 4 is better.--flickr | 'Cause I've been waiting, all my life just waitingFor you to shine, shine your light on me
I just cannot get into it, I don't know why, something turns me off the game, even MP.
I got to play SiN (the '97 one) the full version maybe about 4 years ago, pretty cool I thought but never messed with any of the others.
It's probably due to after playing Joint Operations, everything else seems rehashed.-- ~ Project Hope ~

MoO3, what a stinker that was.
I did get fooled by Far Cry 2, though. I saw it on a Steam sale and remembered how good the original was so I picked it up. After about half an hour I deleted it. What a terrible game.
