Feature Idea: Record of Damage Dealt/Received
I'm still pretty noob, and I often don't know how much damage of which type (magic/physical) I'm taking from whom until I look at Death Recap. I guess there are numbers that appear, too, but they're hard to catch in the fray.
It would be nice to have some window you can press a key to open that gives a text readout of damage (and healing) done over time.
5:29 - VEIGAR - hit YOU for 842 magic damage (Primordial Burst)
5:31 - VEIGAR - hit YOU for 63 physical damage (basic attack)
5:31 - YOU - hit VEIGAR for 14 magic damage (Thornmail)
5:32 - YOU - hit MAOKAI for 143 physical damage (basic attack)
5:32 - YOU - hit MAOKAI for 143 physical damage (basic attack)
5:33 - YOU - hit MAOKAI for 143 physical damage (basic attack)
The above isn't all that pretty, but it shows the essential information:
Essential Information
as for formatting:
Display features
The main goal: make it possible to get this kind of information without either pen-and-paper number-crunching or stupid custom game experiments. (Death recap provides some of this, but only damage done to you and only if you get killed.) Making this information more accessible:
(1) sates players' curiosity
(in that horrible flash of AoE damage that I barely survived, was most of it Tibbers or was it Fiddle? When Akali dashed up to me and whacked off half my health meter...how much of that was her auto-attack and how much was abilities that look like autoattacks?)
(2) improves game balance by making it easier to develop strategy
(some have argued, for instance, that people overestimate Thornmail, and it's actually only returning a negligible amount of damage to the enemy. It might also, for instance, make it clearer how much those Sorc Boots actually changed your damage output: wow, suddenly I'm doing 800 damage instead of 500; maybe this champ isn't UP after all)
I like this idea (the first version much better). It probably shouldn't buffer more than the last 10 seconds of damage though, as that can be A LOT of ticks. Maybe it should be a fixed number of ticks, regardless of the time (say, the last 20 instances).
At the very least, perhaps they should change the color of the damage dealt from red (say to blue) for magic damage, so you at least know what you're taking on the fly. Often times you'll die, but won't see the bulk of the damage done to you if too much time lapses (e.g. Karth ult could kill you long after Jarvan eats 2/3 of your health).
Honestly, I can't even really see the red numbers as-is. It's a lot of text streaming by. But yeah, it would at least provide something.
Hey, here's an idea: scale font size with amount of damage healed or dealt. You might also scale on-screen duration a bit.
The one thing I regularly manage to see is the +gold text. It pops up so bright and obvious. It seems like a big blue 652 would make sense when you get blasted by Summon Tibbers.
Speaking of a lot of text, though, you make a good point. I would think something like the past 500 lines. If it were unlimited, I suppose it might eventually start actually degrading performance. But 500 lines of text ... surely that wouldn't consume much memory.
I think fixed number of lines is better than timespan; a lot of times you don't have occasion to check damage within 10 seconds of it being done. I'm thinking more like, "okay, let me find that skirmish we had."
Related: perhaps limit this to champions and neutral monsters? Wouldn't want to see 10 pages of Purple Caster Minion spam.
Updated proposal:
Reds - would this be hard to implement? It seems like the data's already there, given that the system can generate death recaps.
Just today, I got pounced on in lane and barely escaped. Since my champ didn't die, I had no idea which of the two of them it was who was doing the most damage (or if they were doing about the same), and if I should consider armor or MR to mitigate the damage.
This will let us see how little damage Irelia does with Gunblade, now. Or something.

Goldman Sachs upgraded Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) from Buy to Conviction Buy with a price target of $400.00 (from $430.00). Analyst Heath P. Terry thinks high capital returns outweigh margins worries.
"We are adding Amazon to the Conviction List as we believe it represents one of the best risk/reward propositions in the sector following the recent sector rotation. While concerns over Amazon Web Services (AWS) pricing, slowing Media growth, and ongoing margin pressures are likely to persist, we believe – given its track record of delivering consistently high returns on invested capital – the ongoing investment in fulfillment and infrastructure will widen Amazon's competitive lead through initiatives such as Fresh, AWS, digital media, and faster fulfillment and product availability, driving incremental growth and, ultimately, profitability," said Terry.
"While capex at Amazon has risen ~10X over the past five years compared to revenue growth of ~4X over the same period, its cash returns on invested capital, 39% in 2013, have consistently been among the highest in Internet and well above that of other sectors (Exhibit 1). We believe that context is critical when factoring in the operating margin compression driven by this investment," added the analyst. "We see Amazon's investment in AWS, Fresh (and the fulfillment infrastructure that comes with it), and hardware (with the digital media ecosystem it enables) as driving incremental growth and furthering Amazon's high returns, given the margin profile of those businesses at scale. Meanwhile, the acceleration in the EGM business is, we believe, more indicative of the direction of the core retail business."

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
If you're shooting a longer shutter speed then you've probably got your camera mounted on a tripod. You might even be using a remote control so that your hands aren't on the camera and introducing camera shake. If you want to be absolutely sure that you've got as steady a shot as you possibly can get, you might want to tell the camera to lock up its mirror. The mirror that we saw earlier in the mirror chamber as it flaps up and down can introduce a little bit of vibration to the camera. I'm going to go here into Custom Functions and Custom Function #8 Mirror Lockup. I'm going to take that off Disable and put it on Enable.
This changes the way the camera works when I'm shooting. Now when I press the Shutter button, the mirror goes up, but I have not actually taken a picture and the mirror is still up. If I press the button to rest or press the button again rather, now it's taking my eight second exposure and when it's done the mirror will come back down. Note that it does stay in Mirror Lockup mode, so the next time I take a picture the same thing is going to happen. So when you're done shooting this way, you want to be sure that you come in here and say disable Mirror lockup. So again, this is a great feature if you're shooting skies at night or anything else where you're doing very long exposures and want to be sure that you don't have extra blur in your image from a shaky camera.

Thomas Sowell: Regarding the effects of gun control, ignorance prevails
Must every tragic mass shooting bring out the shrill ignorance of "gun control" advocates?
The key fallacy of so-called gun control laws is that such laws do not in fact control guns. They simply disarm law-abiding citizens, while people bent on violence find firearms readily available.
If gun control zealots had any respect for facts, they would have discovered this long ago, because there have been too many factual studies over the years to leave any serious doubt about gun control laws being not merely futile but counterproductive.
Places and times with the strongest gun control laws have often been places and times with high murder rates. Washington, D.C., is a classic example, but just one among many.
When it comes to the rate of gun ownership, that is higher in rural areas than in urban areas, but the murder rate is higher in urban areas. The rate of gun ownership is higher among whites than among blacks, but the murder rate is higher among blacks. For the country as a whole, hand gun ownership doubled in the late 20th century, while the murder rate went down.
The few counter-examples offered by gun control zealots do not stand up under scrutiny. Perhaps their strongest talking point is that Britain has stronger gun control laws than the United States and lower murder rates.
But, if you look back through history, you will find that Britain has had a lower murder rate than the United States for more than two centuries - and, for most of that time, the British had no more stringent gun control laws than the United States. Indeed, neither country had stringent gun control for most of that time.
In the middle of the 20th century, you could buy a shotgun in London with no questions asked. New York, which at that time had had the stringent Sullivan Law restricting gun ownership since 1911, still had several times the gun murder rate of London, as well as several times the London murder rate with other weapons.
Neither guns nor gun control was the reason for the difference in murder rates. People were the difference.
Yet many of the most zealous advocates of gun control laws, on both sides of the Atlantic, have also been advocates of leniency toward criminals.
In Britain, such people have been so successful that legal gun ownership has been reduced almost to the vanishing point, while even most convicted felons in Britain are not put behind bars. The crime rate, including the rate of crimes committed with guns, is far higher in Britain now than it was back in the days when there were few restrictions on Britons buying firearms.
In 1954, there were only a dozen armed robberies in London but, by the 1990s - after decades of ever tightening gun ownership restrictions - there were more than a hundred times as many armed robberies.
Gun control zealots' choice of Britain for comparison with the United States has been wholly tendentious, not only because it ignored the history of the two countries, but also because it ignored other countries with stronger gun control laws than the United States, such as Russia, Brazil and Mexico. All of these countries have higher murder rates than the United States.
You could compare other sets of countries and get similar results. Gun ownership has been three times as high in Switzerland as in Germany, but the Swiss have had lower murder rates. Other countries with high rates of gun ownership and low murder rates include Israel, New Zealand, and Finland.
Guns are not the problem. People are the problem - including people who are determined to push gun control laws, either in ignorance of the facts or in defiance of the facts.
There is innocent ignorance and there is invincible, dogmatic and self-righteous ignorance. Every tragic mass shooting seems to bring out examples of both among gun control advocates.
Some years back, there was a professor whose advocacy of gun control led him to produce a "study" that became so discredited that he resigned from his university. This column predicted at the time that this discredited study would continue to be cited by gun control advocates. But I had no idea that this would happen the very next week in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Nothing Like Last Of The Breed Will Ever Come Along Again And New Book Names Top 100 Country Fan Clubs
- I can't read enough about Last of the Breed. It's to the point where I don't remember the last time I was this excited about one thing. My intense excitement is mostly due to something Chet Flippo mentions in his review of the Last of the Breed album, "nothing like this is ever going to come along again."
There will probably never again be three country artists of this towering magnitude and talent around to record together. Artists won't be able to spend a lifetime developing their songwriting skills and their recording expertise and finesse at performing. These are truly the last of a breed. Not too much longer now and the sorts of bars and honky-tonks and dancehalls that shaped and nurtured these men and their music will no longer exist.
View more of our Last of the Breed coverage.
- The new Country Music Black Book lists the top 100 country music fan clubs. Inside you'll find inside information on the artists and their fan clubs and even some tips on how to join.
- John Goodspeed covers the San Antonio music scene, beginning with a concert to benefit a little girl with a brain tumor. Performers include Moe Bandy, Johnny Bush, Doug Moreland, and others.
- Renee Grant-Williams is holding a day long Vocal Master Class in Brentwood on April 14. The class costs $299 for critiques from a star panel, but it might be worth it to some people considering her client list boasts notable singers by the likes of Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Martina McBride. I've often thought of taking a vocal class or two, just so I could carry a decent tune, but I'm afraid there's no hope for me. My skills are rawer than raw.
- Michael Deeds writes an exquisite review of a Patty Griffin concert for The Idaho Statesman.
Elegant and personable, Griffin did not disappoint. She cherry-picked songs all the way back to her 1996 debut but dipped most heavily into this year's excellent, personal "Children Running Through." Perhaps more than any of her work, it illustrates Griffin's breadth as a singer-songwriter. This concert took the same approach. Whether playing quiet acoustic guitar or kicking up a knee while her four backing musicians rocked their faces off, Griffin fired on all cylinders. Almost without exception, her breathtaking voice was flawless.
- The University Star tries to explain what Texas Country/Red Dirt music is. It's not an easy thing to define, but they come pretty close to defining the sound as broad, distinctive sounds where some artists fuse rock with their music while others try to go for a more traditional country sound.
- Update: Linda from Still is Still Moving posted about Willie Nelson, Larry Butler Johnny Gimble, & Cindy Walker being voted into the Central Texas Music Hall of Fame. The ceremony will be held on March 29th in Waco, Texas.

I enjoyed Filippo's review, too. But I usually do.
I had that same feeling, didn't you, when I was watching the LOTB show: This is special; I'm so lucky to get to see this.
Perhaps LOTB truly is the last of its kind, but it doesn't have to be. Booking agencies are practically begging Willie, Merle and Ray to repeat the tour next year. Furthermore, I don't understand why there aren't more projects like this. Many legendary artists complain about how difficult it is for them to record new albums because people just aren't sending them songs anymore. A project like LOTB is the logical alternative. Many like to tour but play more dates each year than they would like to in order to support their bands. More combined tours would be a great way for older artists to sell more tickets than they are currently selling and attract more publicity to traditional country music while maintaining very manageable schedules. George Jones and Merle Haggard recently released an album together and each is playing many dates this year. Why not do it together?
Yeah, there's a lot of groupings (is that a word?) that I would like to see/hear, too.
New York Times did s nice review on the Radio City show.
Last March (2006) I had the honor to sit in on the recording of the "Last of the Breed" album in Nashville. It was without question the greatest music event I have witnessed. The album was a year in making and fine tuning, and will never again be duplicated in the music business. Everyone who gets this 2 CD album will have a rare masterpiece of musical talent, with voices backed up with some of the very finest musicians in Nashville.

A lot of these old text games only include the .dat or .z# file.
Since there are no executables for DOS, using http://nitfol.sourceforge.net/ will run them. (I have a multi-core CPU with Win7 Ultimate Edition, and it works fine.)
http://www.ifwiki.org/index.php/Category:Interpreter has a list of interpreters for other IF games, but I haven't used any others yet.

Conservative MP for Peace River (Alberta)
Won his last election, in 2011, with 75.80% of the vote.
Statements in the House
Taxation November 19th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, it was not long ago that Liberals were attacking the idea of providing support for families, saying that parents would simply spend the money on beer and popcorn. The candidate for Banff—Airdrie has shown that Liberals have not changed their ways. He recently said that tax cuts are a bad idea because Canadians will spend the money on the wrong things.
Can the Minister of Employment and Social Development update the House on the meaningful tax cuts that this government is providing hard-working Canadian families?
National Defence November 5th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, according to Human Rights Watch, the terrorist group ISIL has abducted, tortured and abused more than 150 Kurdish children over the past six months. Captured children described being forced to undergo intense religious indoctrination and being beaten with cables if they did not comply. In recent videos, ISIL fighters seem to brag about buying and selling Yazidi girls on the open slave market. These atrocities cannot be allowed to continue.
Could the Minister of National Defence please update the House on Operation Impact and on Canada's contribution to the fight against these barbaric terrorists?
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada October 9th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, Canada is a pluralistic society that believes in women's rights, the rights of religious minorities and due process of law.
Foudil Selmoune, an imam from a Montreal area mosque, fundamentally rejects those principles. He has called for the stoning of women for adultery. He has called for the hands of thieves to be chopped off. Shockingly, the Liberal leader has gone to this man shopping for votes.
Someone who aspires to be a leader ought to have better judgment than to associate with these types of extremists. What is worse is that the member for Malpeque repeated the Liberal leader's assertion that he expected the government to tell him who he should or should not associate with. I would expect a former solicitor general to be able to do a Google search.
Associating with these types of people who have publicly called for Sharia law to be brought to Canada shows that the Liberals are absolutely in over their heads when it comes to Canada's national security.
Committees of the House June 16th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, the member opposite talked about different things that undermine this Parliament. There are a number of things, and he happens to be one of them. He has criticized every party and anyone who has not agreed with him. He has refused to answer any questions that have been put to him in this entire debate.
The question that needs to be asked and continually will not be answered by the member is when the NDP will repay what they took from taxpayers that was against the rules. It has been ruled by the non-partisan staff of this place that the NDP broke the rules, took the $1.7 million, and took off with it. We are talking also about the revelations of the scandal that saw the House of Commons staff, taxpayer-paid staff, now housed in partisan--
Foreign Affairs June 16th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, the ongoing situation in Iraq is deeply troubling. Recent reports indicate that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have taken the city of Tal Afar. This news follows the capture of Tikrit and Mosul last week by this brutal terrorist organization. This organization's activities are not simply limited to Iraq but extend into Syria as well, where it is responsible for untold numbers of deaths as well as destruction.
Could the Minister of Foreign Affairs please comment on this developing situation Iraq?
