IT is an acronym crazed world. So crazy that sometimes - when running out of three letter ones - we simply recycle them or add sequence numbers. Remember MRP, which used to mean Material Requirements Planning, but then became Manufacturing Resource Planning (called MRP II to avoid confusion), to only a couple of years - and a few trillion of investments - later, resurface as ERP.
In that era the term BPR also became popular. BPR stood for Business Process Re-engineering (see for example Hammer, M. and Champy, J. A.: (1993) Reengineering the Corporation: A Manifesto for Business Revolution), a movement that in my perspective*really gained steam from the realization that throwing new technology (ERP) at existing processes, only offered limited improvement potential. As Business Process Re-engineering often resulted in massive redundancies and layoffs, BPR got kind of a bad rap, especially among employees and unions (remember those?).
Today the term Business Process Redesign is a more socially acceptable reincarnation, and even though that could fly under the same acronym (eg. BPR II), people seem to prefer to call it by its full name.Nowadays all the buzz is around cloud. And also here people are finding that just throwing this new idea at existing processes is not bringing the benefits expected, not to mention that the cost of absorbing it into our existing ways of working is very high (remember how much we spend on trying to force fit ERP packages into our existing processes by modifying them beyond recognition, only to reimplement these packages a few years and a few releases later in a more off the shelf manner?).
And increasingly the topic of adapting processes to the cloud is becoming popular. Last month my note "Cloud Solution Providers Ignore Customer Processes at Their own Peril" published, and this month KPMG published a study called "the cloud takes shape". In that study KPMG uses the term Business Process Redesign and states "One of the most important lessons uncovered by this year's research is that business process redesign must occur in tandem with cloud adoption if organizations hope to achieve the full potential of their cloud investments." In my note I describe the need to challenge the status quo on processes using the term Cloud Process Re-engineering (the cloud generation is likely to have a less emotional response to re-engineering, while some of its disruptiveness still rings through).
Some IT departments I speak to seem to think of cloud computing largely as a way to move their applications to the cloud. But if an enterprise organization with thousands of applications running in their datacenter, moves these apps to the cloud, they will still have thousands of apps. And more importantly those apps will do the same they did before, just running somewhere else (so you might ask "why bother?" as the savings on hardware, housing and electricity are small compared to the overall cost and today's management is much more interested in new (revenue) possibilities and agility than in efficiencies that in the end form a mere rounding error in the companies overall bottom line). If organizations however look at each process and decide how the cloud can optimally support or even completely eliminate that process (for example through Business Process as a Service (BPaaS) or by participating in multienterprise applications) the potential impact can become much more significant.
The idea of optimizing processes to new realities - for example through Business Process Management (BPM) - is not new and covered broadly in Gartner's existing body of research. Cloud practioners - both consumers and providers of cloud services - should take an interest in this softer, more human, side of the cloud.*
PS. Whether CPR will turn out to become the acronym that replaces BPR is debatable, also as it seems to be already firmly taken by the medical profession (for both the life saving CardioPulmonary Resuscitation and for Computer-based Patient Records).

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

Thanks Sherry,
I would love anything that you have. I don't have any information on Coley, Clara, Sela, or Sam as children of Maggie and Tim. I have Maggie as a Brooks on her tombstone. I was trying to understand the trail as far as who Griffin's parents, and siblings are. His mother was Mary Knight and his father was John Alexander Dungan w/ siblings of 3 Jonathans, 2 Thomas, Griffin, Jacob ? Is that correct? If you would like copies of the tombstones I can send them to you. Just let me know where and I can email them to you.

I have not tried this recipe myself it is submited for an ISO request. This spicy eggplant dish is a little sweet, a tiny bit sour, and highly flavorful. The dish tastes just as good if you omit the meat. Eggplant is such a "meaty" vegetable in texture that it'll still make a very filling meal, when paired with a big bowl of steamed rice.

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona court ruling says whether a person is legally responsible for a dog doesn't hinge on merely allowing it to live on the person's property.
The state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that renting a room to a dog's owner didn't make a person liable for a child's injury from a bite by the dog.
Arizona law provides that a person keeping a dog for more than six consecutive days is considered the dog's owner and liable for any injuries and damages caused by the dog.
A trial judge had ruled that the "keeping" requirement could be satisfied by a person allowing the dog to live on the person's property.
However, the Court of Appeals said a dog's owner must have care, custody and control of the dog.
With the 2014 election less than a week away, it's important to remember that an election is a job review for legislators and elected officials. Let's review.
PHOENIX (AP) — A Phoenix woman accused of leaving her children in a hot car while she went on a job interview didn't meet the deadline to establish trust funds for her children.
Shanesha Taylor was in court Monday to discuss why she hasn't funded the education and child care funds, which was required as part of an agreement to keep her out of jail.
The 35-year-old Taylor told the judge in a settlement conference that she's concerned about funding the $60,000 because she still hasn't found a job to support her kids and may need to tap into that money.
People donated more than $114,000 after seeing her teary mug shot when she was arrested March 20.
Bystanders reported seeing Taylor's two young sons alone in her car in Scottsdale.
Proponents of Proposition 122 insist that a potentially far-reaching amendment to the Arizona Constitution is necessary to ensure the public gets to monitor how well — or poorly — Arizona does in protecting children.
PHOENIX -- Proponents of Proposition 122 insist a potentially far-reaching amendment to the Arizona Constitution is necessary to ensure the public gets to monitor how well -- or poorly -- Arizona does in protecting children.
Postcards being paid for and mailed to voters by the Arizona Republican Party declare that "an unconstitutional federal law'' forces Child Protective Services -- which technically no longer exists -- "to hide botched investigations of abused kids.'' It features a photo of a young girl with a bruise on her arm crouching in the corner with her teddy bear.
The measure on the November ballot would allow the Legislature -- or voters -- to declare that the new Department of Child Safety will not follow the federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act which includes provisions about what can and cannot be publicly released.
But it may not be necessary to amend the state constitution to do that.
"We could get out of CAPTA now if we reject the federal funds,'' said Dana Naimark, president of the Children's Action Alliance. Naimark, whose organization has taken no position on Prop 122, said she objects to proponents of the ballot measure using child-abuse issues to gain support, calling it a "distraction.''
Rep. Kate Brophy McGee, R-Phoenix, who has been at the forefront of demanding more transparency at DCS, supports Proposition 122. But she acknowledged the problem may not be with CAPTA, the federal law which the ballot measure would let legislators decide they don't want to enforce here -- and the one the mailer claims without backup is "unconstitutional.'' In fact, she said CAPTA specifically mandates disclosure of information in cases of deaths or near-fatal cases of abuse.
The big problem, she said, is how the state attorneys assigned to the child-welfare agency have chosen to read the federal law -- and to use it as a shield to reject requests for public records.
"They interpret CAPTA so broadly as to make it shut down the access to and flow of information, as opposed to do what CAPTA was intended, which is to facilitate the sharing of information in the case of the death or the near-death of a child,'' Brophy McGee said.
So is Proposition 122 needed to open up records?
"It's another tool in the tool box,'' she said, to ensure the new DCS she helped create -- and the lawyers that advise it -- err on the side of disclosure. "I'm fully prepared to use it.''
In essence, Proposition 122 would permit lawmakers or voters to decide that some federal law or program is not "consistent with the (federal) constitution.'' If that happens, all state and local governments and school districts would be prohibited from using their workers or funds "to enforce, administer or cooperate with the designated federal action or program.''
Where child abuse comes in is with CAPTA.
On one hand, the law which provides federal dollars to states for child-abuse programs specifically allows disclosure of information in instances of abuse that result in a fatality or near fatality. But other information is considered off limits.
More to the point, officials at Child Protective Services for years have cited CAPTA restrictions in rejecting requests for public records.
Brophy McGee said recent amendments to the law on confidentiality were designed to address some of that.
For example, the statute says records have to be maintained as required by federal law. But they also have declared that "all exceptions for the public release of DCS information shall be construed as openly as possible under federal law.''
"Every time we 'fix' (the law), they go right back to where they were and they cite CAPTA,'' Brophy McGee said. And she said that the new DCS is "not doing any better'' than the old CPS at being transparent about its operations -- even after she inserted a provision into the law creating DCS allowing the agency to hire its own attorney who might be willing to approve more disclosure.
That still leaves the question of whether lawmakers need Proposition 122 or can simply alter the existing Arizona law to demand fuller disclosure, regardless of federal law.
Businessman Jack Biltis, who is financing much of the pro-122 campaign, said he doubts that a simple amendment to state law would do much.
"CPS has really just been creating excuses not to disclose anything they didn't want to,'' he said, with the agency claiming the supremacy of the federal law. He said Proposition 122 would solve that by allowing lawmakers, citing the Arizona Constitution, to preclude precluding the DCS from participating in the federal CAPTA program if that is what is keeping records secret.
Biltis acknowledged that part of the decision lawmakers would have to make is whether such a mandate is worth the risk of losing federal dollars.
It's not a lot: Jennifer Bowser Richards, spokeswoman for DCS, put CAPTA aid to Arizona at just $670,000.
Biltis contends there is precedent that Washington cannot take away funds simply because Arizona refuses to follow federal law. That comes from the U.S. Supreme Court ruling two years ago which blocked the Obama administration from cutting off Medicaid dollars to states that refuse to expand their programs as part of the Affordable Care Act.
But that ruling dealt with a new requirement being superimposed on existing Medicaid law. This would involve Arizona trying to unilaterally alter an existing agreement.
Brophy McGee said she doubts there would be a legal fight if Arizona were to say it is going to make more information public, with or without Proposition 122.
"No state has ever lost funds because of CAPTA violations,'' she said.
DCS Director Charles Flanagan declined to be interviewed about the issue.

Headaches affect 57 to 82 percent of teenagers, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. These headaches are caused by multiple factors, including the act of chewing gum. A recent study published by the Pediatric Neurology journal reported, "Excessive daily gum-chewing may be associated with chronic headache and should get more attention in the medical literature."
Are you in pain? Do you feel like you have tried everything and the pain is still there? Did you know that our nervous system remembers trauma from injury? We walk around unaware of bracing patterns everyday. It's that bracing and gripping feeling when you are getting out of bed in the morning, the clenching when getting out of the chair because your back hurts, or the cautiousness when using your arms because your shoulder hurts. The body remembers and your mind creates a story of the pain and the worst outcome possible. Then your pain becomes a habit, ruling your daily routine. This impacts your self-care, work life, and home life.
Are you in pain? Do you feel like you have tried everything and the pain is still there? Did you know that our nervous system remembers trauma from injury? We walk around unaware of bracing patterns everyday. It's that bracing and gripping feeling when you are getting out of bed in the morning, the clenching when getting out of the chair because your back hurts, or the cautiousness when using your arms because your shoulder hurts. The body remembers and your mind creates a story of the pain and the worst outcome possible. Then your pain becomes a habit, ruling your daily routine. This impacts your self-care, work life, and home life.
So where does this cycle of pain and stress begin? Trauma accumulates in our body as early as the birth process and can be caused by events like falling off a bicycle as a child, landing on your tailbone after a fall, from surgeries, whiplash from a car accident or even emotional traumas. Repetitive trauma can result from how we sleep, sit, exercise, sitting in front of a computer, doing a lot of driving or perhaps a job that requires heavy lifting. Think about what effect these postures have on your muscles every day. Your body molds into that shape. Muscles shorten, become imbalanced, which pushes bones together and creates joint pain, back pain and neck pain. The body is connected from head to toe by a fascial web, interwoven throughout muscles, bones, veins, arteries, nerves and organs. A traumatizing event can create myofascial restrictions producing up to 2000 pounds per square inch of pressure within your body.
Unfortunately, conventional treatments for pain don't always get to the root cause of your pain. This would include treatments like pharmaceuticals, physical therapy, psychological counseling and even acupuncture. However, an innovative treatment called Myofascial Release Treatment (MFR) addresses the mind/body connection to chronic pain, releasing the pressure to pain sensitive structures. In a relaxing environment, a sustained pressure is applied to the patient as they are guided to mentally feel inside their own body. This encourages the nervous system to relax and release the subconscious bracing patterns that guard and protect us, keeping us in pain. Releasing these restrictions reduces pressure. The painful feeling of the straightjacket is removed. The patient is then given treatment tools to perform at home to help free up the fascial restrictions that are caused by poor posture throughout the day.
Imagine a pelvis that is out of alignment from sitting with poor posture at the computer each day. This may cause the spine to twist and rotate, creating pressure and pain, headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain or back pain. An MFR therapist discusses the unique circumstances that led to your pain (i.e. from a previous fall or from emotional trauma) and through sustained pressure is able to release restrictions in your fascia and muscles. This can help to straighten out the spine, provide more stability to the pelvis and help reduce the severity of your pain. Typical MFR treatments last about one hour to 90 minutes and any type of painful syndrome can be addressed with this technique.
We have all had unique life experiences that create a roadmap of tight, restricted areas in the body. Common culprits are the abdominal muscles that connect the spine and ribcage to the pelvis, pulling the body forward, hunching over. Since the web of fascia connects the entire body, a pull in the front of the body affects the backside of the body. Back pain is treated through releasing restrictions in the front part of the body. That is a different approach than traditional therapies.

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona prison teacher has blamed state officials over an attack in which she says she was stabbed and raped by a convicted sex offender she was left alone with in a penitentiary classroom.
Her attorneys filed a lawsuit Tuesday saying the Arizona Department of Corrections failed to provide adequate security and the prison's health care provider didn't properly evaluate the prisoner charged in the assault.
The January attack has raised questions about prison security after reports showed she was put into a room full of inmates with no guards nearby. Authorities say the 20-year-old blamed in the assault had lingered behind after others left the room, then repeatedly stabbed the victim with a pen before raping her.
Arizona's workplace safety agency launched an investigation of prison policy after The Associated Press reported the details in June. The review is ongoing, a Division of Occupational Safety and Health spokeswoman said.
Corrections Director Charles Ryan, who is named in the lawsuit, was not immediately available, but prison officials have said they cannot comment on the lawsuit.
Corrections spokesman Doug Nick has called the attack "a cowardly and despicable crime, for which the inmate is rightfully facing prosecution."
He says the safety of all staffers is the department's "paramount priority, and we have reached out to the victim to offer our full assistance and support."
The lawsuit filed in Pinal County Superior Court doesn't seek specific damages. In a precursor July legal claim, attorney Scott Zwillinger asked for $4 million and wrote that the state could lose $10 million if the case went to trial.
Nick has said previously that "the department vigorously disputes allegations made in the employee's claim against the state, and new allegations being made to the media."
The lawsuit says Corizon Health, the state prison system's health care provider, improperly assessed Harvey's mental health. The lawsuit said that led prison officials to classify him as a relatively low-risk offender, allowing him access to the classroom. A Corizon spokeswoman said she could not immediately comment Tuesday.
In an AP interview, the 34-year-old teacher said she mainly blames Ryan, who she says allowed lax training, staffing shortages and poor security at the Eyman prison in Florence, south of Phoenix. The AP does not identify those who say they are victims of sexual assault.
Jacob Harvey, 20, has pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual assault, kidnapping and aggravated assault in the case. His lawyer has declined comment on the case.
At the time of the attack, Harvey was being held in a unit that holds about 1,300 rapists, child molesters and other sex offenders.
He was in the first year of a 30-year sentence after being convicted of raping a Glendale woman in 2011. Prosecutors said Harvey, who was 17 at the time, knocked on a woman's door asked for a drink of water, then pushed his way in and repeatedly forced himself on the victim, whose 2-year-old child was in the apartment at the time.
The prison teacher also describes a violent attack and says the department left her vulnerable and unprepared for it.
"I remember trying to fight him off," she said. "The only thing I remembered from self-defense was to tuck my head so he would not choke me."
She said she also remembers getting stabbed, screaming and being unable to activate a panic button on her two-way radio.
She said she had received only four hours of self-defense training before being placed in classrooms, which guards did not regularly monitor, despite regulations calling for three checks each hour.
During the interview, she said radios were prone to battery problems and in short supply. If one wasn't available, she'd be pressured to hold class anyway, she said.
The teacher says she feels traumatized by the attack.
"There's times where I think I'm doing good," she said. "Then I just come crashing down. I haven't been sleeping well."

Drawing inspiration from "The Nightmare Before Christmas," the talented animators at Laika have done a wonderful job at bringing the strange and grotesque back to animated features in an age of more welcoming digitally animated fair. Their last two films, "Coraline" and "Paranorman," were some of the most charmingly creepy of this recent resonance of diverse animation. "The Boxtrolls" keeps in the tradition of those movies, being a weird, visually splendid escapade of stop-motion animation. It's all good fun, although the familiar story often holds it back from ever being a masterpiece.
Nearly 600 children who were the subject of ignored child abuse complaints were removed from their homes after the state finally got around to taking a look at their cases.

Republican congressional challenger Andy Tobin blamed incumbent Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick Wednesday for everything from higher health care premiums to the problems in the Veterans Administration health care system.
Between "No Good Deed" and "The Guest," September is really shaping up to be the month of home invasion/sleeping with the enemy movies. What makes "The Guest" much more interesting that other film, however, is that it's not entirely clear if the home invader wants to be the homeowner's friend or enemy. At some point in our lives, we've all had somebody we've wanted to get rid of, be it a school bully, sleazy boyfriend or boss. You might wish for a dark guardian angel to come to your rescue and take care of the person ruining your life. In the event that dark guardian actually did appear, though, would you be more relieved or horrified? On top of that, would you call the cops on this guy or let him do your dirty work?
The state's high court is being asked to decide when groups attacking politicians up for election have to disclose who is financing the effort.
A Tempe man is facing three counts of child abuse after his girlfriend's 14-month-old baby died earlier this week.
It's disheartening to see the grifters, opportunists and race-baiters once again grab the chance to stir up racial animosity. We've seen Ferguson before. It's another setback to those sincerely striving for racial harmony.

May 6, 2011The rich, luscious colors somehow make the world a lot more believable than games like Crysis 2 could ever be.
Feb 7, 2011The fact that, at the time of writing, Magicka had surpassed 150,000 sales, is just a testament to how fun and addictive the core game really is. Now that most of the major hiccups out of the way, this is definitely a must-buy game, but it really needs to be experienced to get how much fun it is.
Feb 24, 2011It's long, it's tough, it's huge fun, and it's cheap. But it will never be perfect.
Feb 7, 2011Arrowhead Studios came up with a marvelous game, but the company's excitement in rushing it to the market often creates more problems than they're worth.

Feb 17, 2011Magicka is a solid action adventure title with a clever spellcasting mechanic that will provide hours of entertainment for gamers, especially if they play co-operatively.
Feb 2, 2011I started Magicka over from the beginning six times in my attempt to give it the best possible chance I could. In the end though, I can't possibly suggest anyone spend any money on a game released in such a broken state, whether it's ten dollars or ten cents.

May 30, 2011Remarkable example of a remarkable game. Unique and successful game play and controls that blow you away. Humorous story line with numerous easter eggs. Fun and extremely challenging ( but still possible) single player action packed game play, even better when played with up to 4 friends. A virtual "Hack n Slash" but with spells and "Magicks", the combination of 8 different "elements" which all can create different unique spells by certain combinations add to the fun.… Expand
Feb 6, 2011So i bought this game without any high expectations at all. But it has turned out to be one of the most fun games i have ever spent money on. It is WELL worth the $9.99 and i would have paid more if i knew it would be this good. Magicka combines the elements (no pun intended) of humor, action, and teamwork into a masterpiece. I have only had it for a week and i've already played about 30 hours of it. There are a few bugs yes, but the devs are doing a great job of keeping the game up to date and patching it. I absolutely love the music, the scenery, the gameplay, the humor, (which has a lot of... "reference" jokes) and action. This is one of my new favorite games, and i expect others will enjoy it as much as i am.… Expand
Feb 14, 2011This game lost it's 10 on the numerous bugs/crashes. But since the developers are really trying to fix this and the game becomes better with every update I will put this aside for now.
The game sports a good multiplayer function which ensues in hilarious chaos when played with enough friends, it is simply impossible to stay alive. This may seem like a nuisance but it causes a lot of laughter when one of your friends accidentally blows you away and is forced to once again revive you.
The controls start out to be quite clumsy, but every mildly experienced gamer will pick them up within 1 hour of play at most.
Lastly, the many references to all our favorite geek movies, games, series gave me an extra impulse to keep playing.
All in all a very enjoyable game that is definitely worth the 10$ they are asking for it.… Expand
Nov 17, 2011It is a great game with a very humorous singleplayer aspect and especially multiplayer with friends, when you can get it to work, is fun as hell, as you have to not only look after killing yourself but also your teammates; and when you finally get your teamwork flowing you feel almighty. I have not tried anything like this gameplay and it feels very innovative to combine the elements to make different spells. For the cheap price, it is definitely worth it - but have some friends buy it too!… Expand
Jul 3, 2011This game seems decent but it is hampered with perhaps the worst controls of any game I've played in my entire life. You have to hold down shift to do any kind of attack other than basic magic so it makes my hand hurt to play this game for a long period of time. You have to repeatedly tap the ASDFQWER keys with your left hand to cast your magic spells with up to 8 keypresses and possibly a shift key hold needed to be pressed to cast one spell. It requires at least three times as many button presses to play this game as any other game.
If you try to play with joystick it is much easier to do basic attacks, blocking, and so on but all except the most simple magic is ridiculous to cast with the stick. You sometimes have to move the right stick to 20 consecutive positions (no joke!) to cast a single spell. There is no way to customize the controls so that you can use both joystick and keyboard at the same time so that you could tap out on the keyboard to do the more complex spells.
Much of the difficulty of the game is a result of the ridiculous control structure. You will end up killing yourself and your party members plenty of times because of accidental attacks caused by trying to navigate the controls. That's not all though, there is also a tendency to have things that can just instantly kill you that can be quite frustrating if you are playing solo. You'll be fighting a guy and he launches you off a cliff killing you or you'll have to run up a narrow stairway in midair and if you make a joystick error you fall off and die. You will get trapped in a corner and be unable to move resulting in you dying. If you play multiplayer online this is not a problem since your teammate will just revive you, but solo you may have to repeat a long battle many times to survive and you'll need to reach the end of the level not just the next checkpoint to save your progress between sessions. If you have difficulty a level may take over an hour as you repeat a battle over and over.
Oh and one more thing... all the text is in English making this appear as an English game but the voice work in the game appears to be in a foreign language (German or Swedish maybe?) or something like that with English subtitles.
The game is buggy. When I hosted multiplayer a few times when I started the game the music started but the screen stayed totally black and I had to shut down the game. When I tried to modify the joystick controls the game crashed at least 7 times before I finally got it to work. Ultimately I was able to play though and it was enjoyable though clunky to control. There is a good deal of humor in the game. Some is related to references to games, movies, etc that younger audiences might not recognize, but it does add charm to the game.
I bought the game on sale for $3 and its certainly worth that for a few hours of unique entertainment, but don't expect the greatest game you have ever played. Its not here. I'd recommend other games action RPGs like Titan's Quest, Diablo II, Torchlight, or Dungeon Siege before this one, but this one can still be enjoyable for awhile.… Expand
Dec 28, 2012Interesting concept, quite funny, enjoyable multiplayer. But this game is broken, very broken. I experience bugs (no, it isn't because of my PC) about every 15 min of online play. Either my screen turns black or i disconnect... Since yesterday I even can't join a game no more... Almost 2 years after release this game still is just one big bug with some fun parts in between it...… Expand

Nearly 400 people lined up for a Lutheran church's annual holiday breakfast.
Since 2005, St. John's Lutheran Church of Orange has invited homeless and low-income families to its campus for free breakfast, clothes and supplies on the Saturday before Christmas. The name "Project 23" came from the date of the church's first such breakfast, Dec. 23.

St. John's Lutheran Church of Orange distributes goods from its food pantry on the first, second and third Saturday of each month from 8-9:30 a.m. For more information, call (714) 288-4400 or visit stjohnsorange.org.

ORANGE – Donal Coleman, 39, lined up outside St. John's Lutheran Church's Walker Hall at 3 a.m. Saturday. The hall would not open for its annual holiday breakfast for hours, but he wanted to be sure he could grab the supplies he needed before they ran out.
"I got my stuff thrown away 10 times last year," said Coleman, who normally sleeps along the Santa Ana River by the Honda Center. "I would find it hiding behind a Dumpster or bush. Maybe a janitor or gardener put it there, but I'd come back and my stuff's not there."
Coleman, like many of his friends who live on the streets, had early entrance passes to the church's largest volunteer event of the year, Project 23. Held the weekend before Christmas, the event gives free breakfast, clothes and other goods such as backpacks, tarps and sleeping bags to homeless and low-income residents.
About 150 people were waiting in line when doors opened at 7 a.m.
"I get to go inside and have a coffee and bagel like I'm sitting in my living room in the morning," Coleman said. "I'm very lucky to have this ticket. It's the golden ticket."
Lisa Lighthipe-Hinz, the event's chairman, said the event invites its homeless guests to fill up on multiple helpings of food and as many clothing items as needed before letting low-income families in.
Nearly 400 came through the hall on Saturday for plates of eggs, pancakes, bacon and hash browns; then lined up for clothing and supplies.
"I see people really feeling thankful and so happy for what we give them," Lighthipe-Hinz said. "For me, that's what's rewarding."
The Rev. Timothy Klinkenberg, St. John's senior pastor, said the event started in 2005 and is special for its "come-in-as-you-are" attitude.
"They hear 'no' all the time, and we say 'yes' to everything (they ask us for.)" Klinkenberg said. "We offer them that sort of unconditional love."
Orange resident Maria Bravo, 37, was having breakfast with her 9-year-old daughter, Celeste, 4-month-old son Rolando and a family friend. Bravo said she has been unemployed for six months, while her husband works in construction but does not have stable job.
Bravo visits churches and shelters weekly to collect supplies that her family often cannot afford, such as sweaters and toothpaste. She was especially grateful for the volunteers' welcoming attitude.
"Other places don't even give breakfast," Bravo said. "Here they are welcoming and speak kindly to you. It's a blessing from God."
Other guests, such as friends Juanito Reyes, 33, Jason Gomez, 31, and Edward Hernandez, 49, only expected a hot meal. They were floored when they saw free supplies being handed out.
The three often look for shelter together at churches in Orange and Santa Ana. As they walked out of the hall, they admired their new backpacks, water bottles, sleeping bags and tote bags of new clothes.
"I know it won't be like this forever," Reyes said. "The tears I cry, I know they will count. I've been out here a long time – 10 years. God is listening and will bless me as I get older."
Reyes was released from Santa Ana Central Jail weeks ago after a six-month sentence and said he is working on reuniting with his wife and son, who live in Placentia.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Jamaican marijuana farmers hope to cash in on legalization trend with a twist on wine tours
NINE MILE, Jamaica - Napa and Sonoma have their wine tours, and travellers flock to Scotland to sample the fine single malt whiskies. But in Jamaica, farmers are offering a different kind of trip for a different type of connoisseur.
Call them ganja tours: smoky, mystical — and technically illegal — journeys to some of the island's hidden cannabis plantations, where pot tourists can sample such strains as "purple kush" and "pineapple skunk."
The tours pass through places like Nine Mile, the tiny hometown of reggae legend, and famous pot-lover, Bob Marley. Here, in Jamaica's verdant central mountains, dreadlocked men escort curious visitors to a farm where deep-green marijuana plants grow out of the reddish soil. Similar tours are offered just outside the western resort town of Negril, where a marijuana mystique has drawn weed-smoking vacationers for decades.
"This one here is the original sinsemilla, Bob Marley's favourite. And this one here is the chocolate skunk. It's special for the ladies," a pot farmer nicknamed "Breezy" told a reporter as he showed off several varieties on his plot one recent morning.
While legalization drives have scored major victories in recent months in places like Colorado and Washington state, and the government of the South American nation of Uruguay is moving toward getting into the pot business itself, the plant is still illegal in Jamaica, where it is known popularly as "ganja."
Some would like to see that change, with increasingly vocal advocates saying Jamaica could give its struggling economy a boost by taking advantage of the fact the island is nearly as famous for its marijuana as it is for beaches, reggae music and world-beating sprinters.
Justice Minister Mark Golding told The Associated Press the government is aware of legalization efforts elsewhere, and called the issue "dynamic and evolving quickly."
"We will be reviewing the matter in light of the recent developments in this hemisphere," Golding said of decriminalization in an email.
The Ganja Law Reform Coalition, an island group that is calling for the government to decriminalize and regulate pot, is preparing to host an international conference in the capital of Kingston later this month, where topics will include prospects for cannabis commercialization.
Despite its laid-back international image, Jamaica is a conservative, religious place and many people bristle at the country's Rasta reputation.
Marijuana has been pervasive but prohibited on the island since 1913. The illicit marijuana crop has declined since the 1970s due to global competition and the U.S.-led war on drugs. Still, Jamaica is the Caribbean's leading supplier of pot to the U.S. and tourists often don't need to look any farther than their hotel lobby for assistance buying weed.
"There's already a high degree of marijuana tourism in Jamaica; they just don't call it that," said Chris Simunek, editor-in-chief of the magazine High Times, based in New York.
In Nine Mile, Breezy says Americans, Germans and increasingly Russians have toured his small farm and sampled his crop. There were no takers for the $50 tour on this morning among a couple of busloads of cruise ship tourists arriving at Bob Marley's childhood home, though more than a dozen lined up enthusiastically to buy baggies of weed from Breezy's friends, sold through a hole in the wall of the museum compound.
"I can get stronger stuff at home, but there's something really special about smoking marijuana in Jamaica. I mean, this is the marijuana that inspired Bob Marley," said a 26-year-old tourist from Minnesota who only identified herself as Angie as she crumbled some pot into rolling paper.
An online vacation guide called Jamaicamax promises to organize ganja tours in the Negril area. But there's a caveat: First you have to smoke a marijuana "spliff" with your guide, presumably to show you are not law enforcement.
"After you smoke a spliff with us and we get to know you then we will take you on the best ganja tours in Jamaica and you'll smoke (and eat if you want) so much ganja you'll be talking to Bob Marley himself," the travel website says.
More than a decade after a government commission said marijuana was "culturally entrenched" and recommended decriminalizing personal use by adults, influential politicians and businessmen are pushing for Jamaica to cast off old fears of angering Washington and loosen up laws.
Henry Lowe, a prominent Jamaican scientist who helped develop a cannabis-derived medication to treat glaucoma in the 1980s, said the island could quickly become a hub of marijuana tourism and research. "People could come down to Jamaica for medical marijuana treatment and health tourism because this has been our tradition, our culture."
Indentured servants from India are thought to have brought the plant to Jamaica in the 19th century. Its use as a medicinal herb spread rapidly, with some people using ganja tea to alleviate aches and others using rum-soaked marijuana as a cold remedy. By the 1970s, marijuana became even more popular due to Rastafarian reggae stars like Marley and Peter Tosh.
For now, criminal gangs dominate the island's marijuana trade, and turf wars fueled in part by pot profits have long plagued gritty parts of Jamaica. But advocates say decriminalization or legalization would shift profits away from gangs, freeing money that now goes for arresting and jailing pot users.
For Breezy and his friends, any reforms couldn't come soon enough.
"The government needs to free up marijuana soon, man, because it's a natural thing, a spiritual thing," Breezy said before sticking his nose in a clump of pot plants and taking an appreciative sniff. "And the tourists love it."
