In Japanese Buddhism, twelve generals - the Juni Jinsho - stood guard over the cosmos at the points of the zodiac. But now they have vanished, and nothing stands between us and the forces of darkness except Deva Zan, a samurai without a memory. To restore order to existence, he must marshal not only his own fighting skill, but find companions that can cross the boundaries of time and space to join him in a battle that will stretch from the fields of ancient Japan, to the streets of modern New York City, and to dimensions beyond human comprehension!
Dante, the giant sword, two-gun toting devil hunter has earned the nickname "Devil May Cry" after mercilessly killing any and every undead creature in his path. Now he is on a mission for an evil idol known as The Beast Head. But little does Dante know that this mission brings him closer to his eternal enemy...
From Akutagawa Award-winning author Yoko Ogawa comes a haunting trio of novellas about love, fertility, obsession, and how even the most innocent gestures may contain a hairline crack of cruel intent.
Until pain, memory, resignation and fury are all subsumed by the one possible conclusion, a thing or two may just be worth doing. Thus a nameless former cop who should never have become a private detective awaits clients in a dingy office across the street from a Chinese restaurant.
Goku and Master R- er, Jackie Chun are still at it! Seems there's nothing the old guy can dish out that Goku can't take. Well, almost nothing... But wait! What's that up in the sky? Could it be a full moon?
Deep in a forest untouched by civilization, Goku lives a simple life. He trains hard every day, just like his grandpa taught him, never giving a thought to the wide world beyond his home. But when a stranger arrives with curious machines and tales of a wish-granting dragon, Goku's simple life is turned upside down.
There's something fishy - or piggy, perhaps? - about the deserted town Bulma and Goku travel to next. But it's home to a Dragon Ball, so our heroes charge ahead. Just when it seems they're living high on the hog, Goku and Bulma cross paths with Yamcha and Pu'ar, the deadly duo of the desert. Is this the end of the quest? Has the bacon hit the pan? Sooo-wee!
Is it hot in here, or is it just Fry Pan Mountain? The blazing rock is home to the terrifying Ox King - and the site of the next Dragon Ball. Oolong wants to stay as far away as possible, but Goku and Bulma dive headlong into the fire.
Our heroes are in quite a stew! When the Rabbit Mob shows up, Goku kicks some serious cottontail. But the bunny boys call in the Carrot Master and Goku's goose is cooked!
Things are not looking good. Lord Pilaf has all seven Dragon Balls, our heroes are locked in a dungeon, and Goku is hungry again! With his last bit of strength he blasts a tiny hole in the dungeon wall, just in time to see Pilaf summon Shen Long. Oh well, at least it's a nice night for the world to end. The stars are out, the moon is full - but wait! Goku has one last trick up his sleeve!
Through a series of adventures with a variety of strange characters, Goku and Bulma have finally gathered all but the seventh Dragon Ball. That ball is in the hands of dictator Pilaf, who wants the other six for his wish: to rule the world. But as Pilaf summons the Eternal Dragon, Goku is exposed to the full moon - with wild results.
A young monkey-tailed boy named Goku's quiet life changes when he meets Bulma, a girl who is on a quest to collect seven "Dragon Balls." If she gathers them all, an incredibly powerful dragon will appear and grant her one wish. But the precious orbs are scattered all over the world, and Bulma could use the help of a certain super-strong boy...

text: Another week, another Obama scandal. This time it involves the Department of Homeland Security. It seems that Obama wants to buy thousands of pairs of men′s underwear for the illegal immigrants flowing across our borders. A purchase order from DHS calls for buying some 42,000 pairs of underwear, mostly in men′s sizes of medium and large. Some of the underwear will even go as large as 6XL! Oddly enough, the White House claims that this is for the some 48,000 ′children′ illegal immigrants that the Pied Piper Obama is allowing to enter our country. Some border agents now assigned to wet nurse these ′children′ say that many are grown men, complete with gang tattoos. No doubt they are among the thousands of illegal immigrants that the Obama administration is now releasing, moving them to cities across America, beefing up those Democrat voter rolls.

Sir John Vanbrugh (January 24, 1664? March 26, 1726) was an English architect and dramatist, perhaps best known as the designer of Blenheim Palace. He wrote two argumentative and outspoken Restoration comedies, The Relapse (1696) and The Provoked Wife (1697), which have become enduring stage favourites but originally occasioned much controversy.

And you might also have seen the airport chase and landing gear getaway, in which Drake hitches a ride on a supply plane as it departs the runway. Play through this section and you'll realise why Naughty Dog were happy to show it early - because what happens immediately after the sneak peek is on another level entirely.
It's an ante-upping moment, among several in the game, that's likely to leave you shaking your head and grinning idiotically and the idea that somebody imagined this, that others designed and built it, that this is happening in a game.
The other reason Naughty Dog was presumably happy to tease these sections of the game is because there are plenty of equally impressive moments under wraps. There's a rooftop and street chase through a bustling middle-eastern city that demonstrates just how robust the game's acrobatics have become, packed with speed and variety, and punctuated by well-judged moments of corner-turning drama.
There's a maze-like semi-aquatic level set before the headline boat toppling, in which the water becomes part of Drake's cover system as he swims and climbs through a sea of floating debris. And there's a beautiful and quiet sequence set in the desert, a ghost of sand sweeping across the smooth dunes as Drake traipses hopelessly in search of a lost friend.
To leave you in no doubt, then, Uncharted 3 does action on a scale PS3 has not seen before. It's also an absolute class leader in story and character. But it's still not perfect - and, actually, errors and misjudgements intrude upon an otherwise faultless experience like a particularly gruesome fly on a gourmet meal.
For instance, occasionally, when being machine-gunned by one enemy and fist-fighting another, you'll really want Circle to mean "roll the heck away and get me in cover" but instead too often it means "grabbing a man by the cuffs and shoving him while being peppered with bullets".
It's unlikely that this niggle would have warranted a mention if it weren't for a more serious related complaint - the difficulty spikes towards the end of the game make a sudden jump from challenging to infuriating, with several moments so hard they can only be beaten through brutal repetition, like demolishing a wall with headbutts alone.
Again, this might not be so big a problem - difficulty should ramp as the game draws to a climax, after all - if it didn't negatively impact the game's otherwise wonderfully judged story. One particularly nasty spike occurs directly after a powerful emotional beat - Drake should be furious, but rather than smash through the surrounding goons in fury, the moment is drowned in too-tough enemies and checkpoint restarts.
None of these complaints are particularly serious, and none of them stop Uncharted 3 from being the must-have game on PS3. Especially when you take into consideration that aside from the excellent single-player campaign there's a tweaked and polished multiplayer mode.
The model for this is very much the same as Uncharted 2 with improvements: a competitive side with deathmatch, objective mode and now also clans, customisation and sparkly set-piece intros; and a co-op side with three-player story missions (five this time, moving from the London Underground to Syria) and an arena mode (which, sadly, no longer does just survival, but mixed objective modes of which survival is one type).
All of which makes this a big step on from Uncharted 2 in terms of visuals, gameplay and performance - but its biggest achievement is that, barring minor lapses, the threads are brought together into a superbly cohesive whole.
Confident storytelling, astonishing visuals and obscenely ambitious set pieces make Uncharted 3 the best of the series. An absolute must-have.
- Nuanced animation takes performances up a notch
- Quality lighting adds to astonishing Uncharted visual sheen
- More deliciously blended set-pieces
- More spectacular than Uncharted 2
- Some control frustrations
- Difficulty spikes verge on infuriating at times

Search the TTC Web site
Students in the D2L Community should be:
Considerate: Treat each other with respect. Take time to read and respond to each other in such a way that a learning environment can continue to develop. Format your post so that everyone can learn from your knowledge, skills and abilities. Share insights that you have experienced from other students posts. Using all capital letters when communicating in an online environment is known as shouting . This usage is considered a rude method of communicating. Avoid using all capital letters in your D2L communications
Encouraging: Not everyone has had previous online experience. Some may spend more time observing (reading other students' postings, remaining invisible for some time) than others. Notice the habits of your students and classmates. Provide encouragement for creative and critical conversation.
Helpful: Even a well-presented course can create some confusion. It is very easy to lose your place or misread information on certain links or pages. When other students are lost, offer a helping hand by pointing them in the right online direction so they can regain their confidence in online learning.
Aware: We all have had different life experiences. Be aware that your written word is the only form of communication in an asynchronous (i.e., not face-to-face) learning environment. Use your words carefully. Ask yourself if your comment could possibly be interpreted as insulting, disrespectful, discriminating, mocking, or rude. How would you feel if this comment was directed toward you?
The following behaviors are disruptive to the learning environment and will not be tolerated by the College. Please review the Student Code in the TTC Student handbook at http://www.tridenttech.org/studentHandbook2010-11.pdf :
Flaming: Flaming is the term used for behaving disrespectfully toward others online. This behavior includes, but is not limited to, mocking, shouting, cursing, humiliating and discriminating against someone in the D2L community.
Disrespect: Impolite and impertinent behavior, such as putting down or cursing your instructor or any student, will not be tolerated. Tone and presentation of your thoughts are very important. If you disagree with a posting or find one to be personally insulting, please find a way to respond politely or contact the instructor.
Offensiveness: The D2L Community is not the place for graphic terminology, sexual discussions, swearing, or any pornographic resources. Inappropriate language and materials of this nature are inexcusable and constitutes unacceptable behavior.
Discrimination: Derogatory statements about race, color, age, religion, national or ethnic origin, religion, gender, disability or sexual orientation will not be tolerated.
Use of the communication tools in the Colleges D2L Community for soliciting responses for any other reason than those directly related to the course and its requirements is prohibited. Some examples are promoting business opportunities, sending political messages, sell of goods and spamming in general.

It might sound silly and overly sensitive to most people, but I refuse to play Dead Island simply for the fact that the official trailer was so gut-wretching and, in a surreal way, too personal. I've heard it's a great game, but even if the trailer had no connections to the plot in any way other than the zombies, I wouldn't be able to get the image of that father carrying his dying daughter out of my head.
It was playing Dead Island with friends that reconfirmed that, in case of an emergency, my friends would flee to my place. That is, if I hadn't boarded up the windows and doors yet.
Dead Island gives me nightmares but I can't stop playing. I need to finish it and find out how it ends.
Watching Desmond's (azuritereaction's) video play through and commentary of Dead Island completely killed my fear of zombies.
I wish I could play Dead Island as the Left 4 Dead characters. Though you never learn much about them, you find yourself emotionally involved right from the start whereas in Dead Island you don't really care who you are playing as.
Dead Island is such a good game … but when people put it on the same level of Left 4 Dead, I get annoyed. It's nothing like it, apart from the fact they both have zombies
I preordered Dead Island knowing nothing about it, not its plot or gameplay. I only preordered it because the trailer made me cry.

Extends leadership for installations in multiple computing environments while enabling developer efficiencies and best practices
Maidenhead, UK - May 16, 2014 - Flexera Software, the leading provider of Application Usage Management solutions for application producers and enterprises, today announced the launch of InstallShield 2014. The new release simplifies installations for cloud and other complex Web/server applications, enhances support for high-DPI displays, supports accelerated release cycles common in agile development processes, and makes testing more efficient by automatically provisioning virtual machines.
"We sell software in a competitive market, so we make sure our users have no reason to look at other products," said Gerard Nicol, CEO at GazillaByte. "InstallShield has been giving our users a fast and flawless installation experience for the past 15 years, and with the release of InstallShield 2014, we are completely confident that we will continue to exceed expectations, especially in the cloud and virtualised environments. Every software experience starts with installation, Flexera Software provides us with the best of starts."
Automated Cloud and Web/Server Installations via Microsoft Web Deploy
Microsoft Web Deploy has quickly become a pervasive packaging format for web applications. However, Web Deploy does not include a customer-facing interface for deployment and its ability to bundle prerequisites, runtimes, and machine configuration tasks is limited. InstallShield 2014 is the only installation development solution to solve this challenge, enabling faster and more efficient installation of web applications to Microsoft® Azure™ and Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) using Microsoft Web Deploy. Now customers have the flexibility to deploy web applications to their choice of infrastructure—to local machines, to remote servers in the datacenter, or to Microsoft Azure in the cloud. InstallShield also supports deployment of Microsoft Azure SQL Databases, enabling customers to install databases to the cloud and support hybrid cloud scenarios by deploying database scripts directly to Microsoft Azure SQL databases.
"Microsoft Web Deploy simplifies the migration, management and deployment of IIS web servers, web applications and web sites," said Chris Van Wesep, Director of Server & Tools Marketing, Microsoft. "InstallShield 2014's support of Web Deploy is of tremendous value to application developers, who now have a streamlined process for packaging their applications to the cloud - and their customers, who simply want their applications to install easily and work right out of the gate."
Enhanced Support for High-DPI Displays and Modern Touch-Screen Interfaces
Since Apple® first introduced Retina displays, the PC market has responded with even higher resolution displays and support for touch interaction on desktops, laptops, and tablets. This new generation of PC devices presents challenges for users when interacting with software that doesn't account for Windows DPI scaling behavior. The installation of these applications can be error prone and negatively impact the customer's installation experience and, as a result, their first impression of the product. InstallShield 2014 helps eliminate this problem by ensuring all InstallShield project types are DPI-aware, creating an optimized user experience for customers installing software on high-DPI and touch-screen devices.
"We use InstallShield to simplify the installation of a complex application suite with both Web Service Configuration, Windows Service installation and management," said Matthew Gerega, Manager of Product Development at Four Rivers Software Systems. "We count on Flexera Software to understand the evolving needs of installation developers and to deliver enhancements reflecting our real-world requirements. InstallShield 2014 promises to be another outstanding release to support our business."
Help End Users Keep Up with Accelerated Release Cycles
Agile development practices are being increasingly implemented, and as a result many application producers are delivering more frequent product releases. To keep up, users are looking to simplify how to find, download and install new versions. InstallShield 2014 Suite/Advanced UI installations can address this desire by automatically checking the Internet for the latest version of a setup any time the installation is run.
Installing new versions is also challenging when there are multiple instances installed on a single server. InstallShield 2014 adds support for developing upgrades that are able to detect the presence of multiple instances on target systems, and provides end-users with options to select which instance to upgrade.
"We've been using InstallShield since the late 90's to deliver Windows based products to our customers," said Henry Steinbeck, Installation Engineer at Synergex International Corporation. "The InstallShield user interface and features such as XML editing and InstallScript custom actions, allow us to easily manage a number of installation projects that reliably deploy Synergy. We have been very satisfied with InstallShield."
Provision Virtual Machines for Installation Testing to Improve Productivity
Application producers need to quickly test the installations they have created. The rise of virtual machines has made it possible for developers to access custom prepared test environments, but the provisioning of the virtual machine and staging of the application for testing still requires several manual steps. InstallShield 2014 now supports provisioning virtual machines from the InstallShield Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for testing installations - reducing testing time and eliminating manual steps by automatically provisioning virtual machines. Developers can choose test image snapshots, power on virtual machines, and stage setups directly from the InstallShield IDE automatically at build time, or on demand. This new capability supports VMware® vSphere, VMware Workstation, and Microsoft Hyper-V®.
"InstallShield supports and enables the latest trends in desktop computing, like high DPI displays and touch interaction, as well as complex web/server application installations to the datacenter and cloud," said Maureen Polte, Vice President of Product Management at Flexera Software. "This latest release of InstallShield demonstrates why the market continues to see us as the clear leader in the installation space. We are relentlessly committed to ensuring our customers can provide a seamless installation experience - regardless of the environment in which the software will be deployed and regardless of the type of device on which it will be run."

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...
