Risk of Rain Demo v1.0.1Mar 20, 2013 Demo 16 comments
The demo is out! This marks the last free version to be released and also doubles as a demo of our game. Outside of major bug fixes, any release from...
Risk of Rain is an action platformer/adventure game with roguelike elements.While we don't want to spoil the story, we can let a few things through! The game is set in the distant future, where space transportation is common. Space trains carry passengers and goods all across space. A particular space train, however, had some very special cargo. Through a series of unfortunate events, this space train gets shot out of orbit and crash lands on a mysterious planet.. with one survivor.
The big feature of our game is the randomized elements. The position you spawn on the map, which map you spawn on, the location of chests, enemy spawns, item spawns and more are all randomly chosen by the AI Director! We also have a massive amount of content in our game: we have 100 unique items planned, all with interesting effects. No +HP or +DAMAGE, but chance to spawn missiles and stop time. You have the option of choosing between 10 characters, all with their own different moveset.
Another thing that's important in our game is that as time increases, so does difficulty. Represented in a bar on the HUD, every minute increases the enemies' power and spawn count, developing a great sense of urgency.
Through the Item Log you can see what kind of cargo the space train was carrying, along with a variety of information of the items you'll be using in your journey. The Monster Log is similar to Olimar's Log in Pikmin or a Pokedex; after collecting logs from monsters, you can read all about their behavior, health, damage, and more, along with an accompanying picture.
The game is run by a hidden Director, who has a 'deck of cards' of monsters he can spawn. The Director will randomly draw a card, and then spawn as many of those monsters as it has points available to it. If the Director has sufficient points, he can spawn a boss onto the field! Not only that, but the Director can upgrade his spawns to elites with enough points, giving them random abilities such as faster speed, electric elements, or permanently leaving a fire trail. Elite bosses all have their own custom abilities unique to each boss.
Drones, like chests, are randomly distributed throughout the map. The unique thing about drones, however, is that they have their own healthbar and can be lost, unlike items. They float around you and are, in my opinion, quite adorable! At the moment we have a basic drone, who floats and shoots nearby enemies, a healing drone, an assault drone, a missile drone, and a laser drone. These all have their own unique models, sounds, and behaviors!
There are two different kinds of items; passive items and use items. Passive items, which are split up into 3 categories of power, are always active.Some examples of passive items are the 'Fireshield', 'Infusion', and 'Brilliant Behemoth'. The Fireshield causes your player to detonate when receiving heavy damage, hurting nearby enemies and knocking them away. Infusion causes your maximum health to grow for every enemy killed, and the Behemoth causes every single one of your attacks to explode! All passive items stack, so if you had all 3 of those items, getting hit would result in an explosion, which then explodes further, then gives you health.Use items are a different kind of item; you can only hold one at a time, and it goes on cooldown when used. Some examples of use items are the 'Missile Box', which sends out 16 missiles to hunt down enemies, and the 'Jar of Souls', which duplicates all enemies on the screen as a ghost to fight on your side.
Most games have very non-intuitive controls and game rules. You shouldn't have to read through the wikipedia to learn all the hidden rules of a game! The game in its current iteration is very easy to understand; you shouldn't have to fight against the game design. We intend on making the game playable by anyone, but only master-able by a few. Intuitive does NOT mean casual or easy! Most of our fanbase will attest that the game is quite hard.

Hey guys!
It's finally done. Risk of Rain launched on both Steam and Humble Store on November 8th, 2013.
Risk of Rain is an action platformer with roguelike elements. With permanent death as a primary feature, players will have to play their best to get as far as possible. Fight on a mysterious planet with randomly spawning enemies and bosses, either alone or with 3 friends in online co-op. With over 100 items at your disposal, you will find the tools you need to find the teleporter back home. Discover a myriad of randomly chosen stages, from the desolate forest to the frozen tundra.
The three main goals for our game are simple:
1. Design a game that is randomly generated every play-through, to keep replayability high and fresh.
2. Time = difficulty. The higher the in-game time gets, the harder the difficulty gets. Keeping a sense of urgency keeps the game exciting!
3. Be enjoyable, regardless of whether you win or lose. No more fussing with complex and non-intuitive gameplay patterns. Players should not blame the game for their loss!

''When people do pixel art right, like this, it just looks gorgeous'' - Patrick Klepek via Giantbomb
"..a ridiculously compelling procedurally generated side-scrolling platform survivor-me-do, with multiple characters to play as, single and co-op play, and some of the hardest-hitting deaths I've experienced in such games" - John Walker via RockPaperShotgun
We are glad to finally be able to launch Risk of Rain on Steam and want to give a huge thank you to everyone who followed and helped us here on indiedb!

Couple's confusion with webcam turns them into YouTube stars.
Attempts by an elderly McMinnville, Oregon to learn how to use the video camera on their new computer has become a YouTube viral sensation.
Bruce and Esther Huffman can be seen peering into the lens of their camera as they try to learn its video operation.
Bruce make a series of gestures, faces and teases Esther throughout.
Then, she seems to get a little frustrated he's not taking the training session seriously enough.
He even gets a bit "frisky" as the couple clowns around.
The episode was saved to the computer and uploaded by their daughter.
The couple has been featured on national morning talk shows and an ever increasing worldwide presence as the funny story of the day.

Sorry. No data so far.
Major Lazer has released their first song Original Don from their up coming second album. Here is the official music video. Major Lazer has definitely taken a 180 degree turn in the music video department compared to their first video Pon De Floor. One would expect the same delivery, but once again, Major Lazer has kept it unpredictable, making this video subtle…well, subtler.
Here is some amusing behind-the-scenes footage.

The Myth of Missile Accuracy
Under further interrogation by Fitzgerald and others it emerged that 40 percent of the missiles were down because of failures in their guidance system.
Missiles, as Fitzgerald's account suggests, do not exist in the orderly universe of the strategic theologians but in the actual world of contract mismanagement, faulty parts, slipshod maintenance, bureaucratic cover-up, and the accidents that have afflicted military equipment since the world's first bow string got wet in the rain. The nuclear scenarists are impatient at citation of such quotidian mishaps which, to be sure, do not refute but merely impair the claim that a missile will successfully strike its objective 6,000 miles away.
As prologue to consideration of just this claim, it is useful to bear in mind the accuracy being envisaged. By the standards demanded of an ICBM fired from the United States to the Soviet Union (or vice versa), a shell from an artillery piece—fired with no preliminary spotting rounds—would fall no more than one yard from a target thirty miles away.
An intercontinental ballistic missile is far more like an artillery shell than might be supposed. What happens when a missile is fired? It is boosted into space by three or four rocket stages which fall away as they burn out. After the last stage burns out, or is turned off, the warhead (or "re-entry vehicle") continues in free flight through space until it re-enters the atmosphere and descends toward the target. With the moment of final burn-out, or termination of the rocket, vanishes the last chance for the warhead to change direction. It is on its own, as is a shell leaving the muzzle of an artillery piece, or a stone leaving a person's hand.
From the moment the missile leaves its silo, no exterior system is guiding its course. No human hand, back on the ground, can interfere or correct its flight. Nor is any piece of equipment inside the missile taking bearings from some external point of reference. The missile depends for its guidance on inertial sensing. The simplest way of understanding this is to think of yourself sitting in an airplane looking at a glass of water. The movement of the water will reflect the angular movements of the plane. All that the inertial system in a missile essentially does is to compare the movements of a more sophisticated equivalent of the water in the glass with its programmed version of what those movements should be, if the rocket is going in the right direction. Undesirable variations are corrected accordingly, up until the moment the rocket motor burns out.
Once that happens, there is nothing that can be done. The warhead can receive no signal, and contains no targeting mechanism of its own. As can be understood, everything depends on the accuracy of the programmed data in the missile's computer. If the missile's flight were to take place in entirely predictable conditions, the inertial system would be perfectly satisfactory and no silo would be safe. But in reality the missile's journey takes it through forces that either cannot be compensated for, or are entirely unpredictable, or are not understood.
During the flight of the missile, from launch to target, it is under the influence of two principal external factors: the pull of gravity and the drag of the atmosphere. Since the earth is not a perfect sphere and varies in density, its gravitational field is not constant. The inertial guidance system cannot tell the difference between the effect of its own motion and the effect of gravity.
If an unprogrammed variation in the earth's gravitational force pulls the missile fractionally down, the guidance system has no way of distinguishing that movement from an equivalent force produced by an upward motion of the missile. Detecting what it records as an unprogrammed upward motion, the system adjusts the missile's trajectory accordingly—off course.
Extensive satellite observations enable the missile's programmers to supply its computer with reasonably precise information about the gravitational forces it will meet while traveling over the North Pole toward the Soviet Union (or vice versa). Even so, scientists operating in this field concede that enough anomalies in the earth's gravitational field occur for precise prediction to be impossible, as demonstrated by uncertainties about the position of satellites now aloft.
A solution being considered is for the missile to carry a device known as a gravity gradiometer, which would measure such anomalies during the flight, and pass the information to the guidance system. Although such an instrument is theoretically possible, and indeed a large-scale working model has been demonstrated in the benign conditions of the Draper laboratory in MIT, even scientists intimately involved with the program doubt whether a practical model of the size and sturdiness necessary for operational use can ever be developed.
The atmospheric forces affecting the missile present even greater problems, which appear insuperable even on a theoretical level. Detached from its rocket, the warhead hurtles toward its target at an initial speed of some 12,000 miles per hour, descending into the atmosphere at a relatively shallow angle. The atmosphere extends upward in irregular contours to anywhere from fifty to one hundred miles above the earth's surface. Given its re-entry angle of about 25° the warhead has to penetrate the atmosphere for a distance ranging between 120 and 240 miles. This atmosphere is far from placid, and is largely unpredictable.
To take one example, which produces some twenty possible variables: a solar flare will drastically affect the density of the atmosphere. But the effect will not be constant; it will be determined by the season of the year, whether it is day or night, whether the patch of atmosphere in question is over snow or ice, and by meteorological conditions generally. Since it is impossible to isolate the effect of one variable—the interaction, let us say, between the solar flare and a positively charged cloud—and all the other variables (day/night, etc.) which condition the effect of the flare on the atmosphere, it is impossible even in theory to construct an accurate profile of the atmosphere.
Yet such a profile is essential if the guidance system is to release the warhead at the correct instant and angle to secure the desired results. What is true of solar flares is true of innumerable other, constantly changing meteorological events: the jet streams above 30,000 feet, barometric pressure, a thunderstorm anywhere along the re-entry trajectory, and so forth.
A layman might regard the variations in wind and atmospheric density as immaterial to the direction of a missile decelerating from 12,000 miles per hour toward its target. This view is not shared by guidance specialists,13 who have long acknowledged that one of the main problems in designing a re-entry vehicle is to strike a balance between streamlined high-speed shapes (which cause fatal overheating) and blunt, low-speed shapes, which can be blown disastrously off course by the wind.14
Such are the conditions and uncertainties which determine the flight and affect the accuracy of a missile. The testing of these missiles, a process which produces the apparently confident CEPs and kill probabilities, has not alleviated the problem.
US strategic land-based missiles are test-fired from Vandenberg Air Force Base in southern California to Kwajalein lagoon in the Marshall Islands. Soviet missiles are test-fired from nothern European Russia to the Kamchatka peninsula, at the eastern end of Siberia, or beyond this point into the northern Pacific.
Testing conditions are very different from the realities of a nuclear exchange, and the problems have been pithily summed up for us by Dr. Richard Garwin, of the IBM Research Center, former presidential scientific adviser, currently a member of the Defense Science Board, and professor of public policy at Harvard University:
In every ICBM you have an inertial package. Accelerometers and gyros and things like that are mounted in your missile. You've got to fire your missiles from operational silos to points in your enemy's country. Now, obviously you've never done this before and so you have to base your calculation on test shots—in our case from Vandenberg to Kwajalein lagoon, that is, east to west; and in the Russians' case from northern European Russia to Kamchatka in the northern Pacific, west to east. Judging from how far each test shot falls from the target, you adjust your accelerometer or your gyro, to compensate for the inaccuracy, until in the end your test shots are landing within the prescribed area. But every time you fire a new-model missile over the same range or the same missile over a slightly different range, the bias changes. Sometimes it is greater, sometimes it is smaller, but it never has been calculated beforehand.
So you have to go back to readjusting-the gyros and so on, to try and eliminate the novel bias. But if we were firing operationally, both we and the Russians would be firing over a new range in an untried direction—north. And a whole new set of random factors would come into play—anomalies in the earth's gravitational field, varying densities of the upper atmosphere or unknown wind velocities. They may adjust and readjust in testing and eventually they might feel sure that they have eliminated the bias. But they can never be absolutely certain. We certainly cannot be: and although we are less well informed about the Russian ICBM test program than our own, there is no reason to suspect that they are any more successful than we are at dealing with the problem. If you cannot be sure that you would be able to hit the enemy's silos, then there is no point in even trying—because the idea is that one side could wipe out the other's missiles before they are launched in a first strike.15
It goes without saying that there is one further difficulty. The laborious adjustments necessary to reduce bias described by Dr. Garwin will be difficult to achieve over the novel northern trajectory, since no previous test data are available. The first shot is presumptively the only shot.
Such plain speech as that of Dr. Garwin is rare. Imputations of inaccuracy and discussion of the bias factor do not regularly take their place among the public pronouncements of the Defense Department. To a recent inquiry Colonel Alan MacLaren (USAF), in the Office of Dr. Seymour Zeiberg, deputy under-secretary for Strategic and Space Systems, replied, "I do not know what prompts Dr. Garwin to make these statements. You cannot say that these factors [gravity, atmosphere] can be neglected, but they are unimportant if we have done our homework right…. We understand these factors well enough so that they are not so serious than we do not have [silo-busting] accuracy." But it appears unlikely that Dr. Garwin's views will be lightly dismissed. Dr. Albert C. Vosburgh, former deputy for Strategic and Space Systems, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Research, Development, and Logistics, said recently, "Dr. Garwin is a brilliant scientist, whose arguments on any scientific or technical subject should be taken seriously."
The problems have been forcefully acknowledged by one senior Defense Department official in a position to know. On March 4, 1974, in secret testimony before the Arms Control Subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, subsequently declassified, then Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger said:
I believe that there is some misunderstanding about the degree of reliability and accuracy of missiles…. It is impossible for either side to acquire the degree of accuracy that would give them a high confidence first strike, because we will not know what the actual accuracy would be like in a real world context. As you know, we have acquired from the western test range a fairly precise accuracy, but in the real world we would have to fly from operational bases to targets in the Soviet Union. The parameters of the flight from the western test range are not really very helpful in determining those accuracies to the Soviet Union. We can never know what degrees of accuracy would be achieved in the real world….
The point I would like to make is that if you have any degradation in operational accuracy, American counter-force capability goes to the dogs very quickly. We know that, and the Soviets should know it, and that is one of the reasons that I can publicly state that neither side can acquire a high confidence first strike capability. I want the President of the United States to know that for all the future years, and I want the Soviet leadership to know that for all the future years.
The situation, as Dr. Garwin acknowledges, has not changed significantly since Schlesinger made these amazingly forthright observations.
The only way out of the impasse currently being considered is to contrive a method of guiding the warhead through the terminal stages of its descent. One method is to employ a navigational system (known as NAVSTAR, or Global Positioning System) now under development for nonstrategic military and civilian purposes. The system is to employ a series of satellites, transmitting radio signals which will allow the receiver to determine its exact position. A maneuverable warhead, equipped with such a receiver, could correct its course as it descended. In fact two missile-borne receiver sets have reportedly flown on Minuteman test missiles.16
Alluring as such a solution may seem, it runs into the objections which forced the reliance on an inertial guidance system for ICBMs, rather than on exterior radio communication of the sort used to control the initial ascent of the German V2 during the Second World War. Such exterior communications are inevitably vulnerable to interference by the enemy, in the form of jamming. Since it is unlikely that the satellite could generate power greater than 200 watts for transmission of the signals, a series of ground-based jammers, of one kilowatt each and a hundred miles apart, could effectively neutralize the system for guiding re-entry vehicles right to their targets. Dr. Garwin believes that before the re-entry vehicles are released from the missile the NAVSTAR could be used to give submarine and other mobile missiles accuracies at least as great as present land-based missiles. However, this could make the missile crucially dependent on a satellite system itself highly vulnerable to enemy action.
Other schemes have been proposed to overcome accuracy deficiencies of the self-contained inertial navigation approach. Most of these rely on having the warhead of the missile home in on some "signature" of the target—for example, radar, infrared, or optical images of the area to be hit. None of these schemes has demonstrated that it could cope with simple enemy "spoofing" or jamming of the target signature—countermeasures that are vastly less expensive than the guidance system being proposed. Nor is the solution to be found in a bigger warhead to compensate for inaccuracy. An unverifiable amount of bias uncertainty remains, with the enormous added expense of building one launcher for each warhead—in the case of the MX, two thousand instead of two hundred.
We have concentrated on accuracy in guidance, for this is essential to all conceptions of nuclear war which go beyond the simple objective of leveling a city. Such a focus should not allow many other "data free" premises of the strategic thinkers to go unchallenged.
For example, the nuclear explosive deemed necessary to destroy a silo is a purely theoretical calculation. No practical tests have ever been carried out. The precise power of Soviet warheads, which inspire estimates of US silo vulnerability, is unknown. It is hard to find a convincing refutation of "fratricide"—the effect on an incoming warhead of the thermonuclear explosion caused by one that has already landed.17
So long as US and Soviet leaders pay heed to Schlesinger's warning of 1974 there remains some hope that they will appreciate that there are no certainties in strategic nuclear warfare. Yet amid the mounting alarmism which has characterized the defense debate in the years since Schlesinger testified, and which has reached a peak of frenzy in this election year, it is hard to retain even that minimal confidence.
See D.G. Hoag, "Ballistic-Missile Guidance," essay in Impact of New Technologies on the Arms Race (MIT Press, 1971).↩
To obtain at least a rough estimate of how drastic these weather effects might be, some experts have calculated the effect on a re-entering warhead of a band of jet stream between 30,000 and 40,000 feet blowing at a speed of 180 knots. Assuming a drag coefficient of .4, this wind alone would cause a drift off target of 1,065 feet. This is without considering the effects of varying and unpredictable atmospheric densities and other winds.
Another way of obtaining a rough estimate is to apply an old marksman's rule for calculating the drift of a bullet in a cross-wind: multiply the speed of the wind by the difference between the real time of flight of the bullet to the target and the time of flight it would have taken if it had been traveling in a vacuum. Dr. Richard Garwin has stated that the re-entry of a warhead takes about 60 seconds. Without an atmosphere the warhead would maintain its re-entry speed of about 20,000 feet per second all the way to impact. Traveling at an angle of about 25° this means it would land in 30 seconds. Thus the difference, given atmosphere, is 30 seconds. Assume a wind of 30 miles per hour, or 44 feet per second, averaged throughout the height of the atmosphere—a relatively low estimate considering that winds aloft can reach three or four times the speed of surface winds. By multiplying this wind speed by the "slow down" time we get 30 × 44 = 1,320 feet. This error alone, which still ignores other important weather effects, is more than enough to cause the MX warhead to fall well outside its lethal radius from the target.↩

It's still early in the new year and I think that you, like me, are still working on eating better and adding even more fruit and veggies into your daily routine. Here's an easy way to get 2 servings of fruit with nothing added. It's like 2 pieces of fruit only you can keep these in your desk drawer or even in your pocket.
When the people at That's It asked me to try these I didn't have high expectations. Most bars that I try – even the ones I consider to be my favorites – let me down when it comes to flavor or texture.
But I have to say I really like these. It's like a juicier fruit leather, which at the same time makes it not like fruit leather at all because it's not hard and chewy. The flavor of the non-apple fruit really pops and makes it pretty darn delicious.
Each bar has 1 apple and a serving portion of the "flavor" fruit like cherry, pear, or apricot. Those 2 fruits are the only ingredients in the bar. They also talk about it being Diabetic friendly since they use low glycemic index fruit.
They are 100 calories each and have 3 grams of fiber. Vegan, gluten-free, and kosher all the while giving you vitamins a and c. Not bad for something that feels like a treat.
Enter this giveaway and you may just win your own That's It Fruit Snack Bars to try!
There are a few rules to this giveaway – the winner must be at least 18 years of age and that the winning address is within the U.S. The winner will receive a variety pack of That's It bars (12 bars – $21.18 value – http://www.thatsitfruit.com/shopbuy-our-products)
You will get one entry for each task you do as long as you enter a new comment for each one on this blog post. I'll announce the winner this Friday.
- In a comment tell me your favorite way to sneak in extra fruit or veggies into your day.
- Become a Facebook fan of That's It

For the last few years 4K "Ultra HD" televisions have been displayed at CES, but in 2015 they'll dominate -- not just on the show floor, but on showroom floors everywhere throughout the year.
At $13, the flat-topped Philips SlimStyle BR30 LED is one of the most affordable LED floodlights on the market -- but how'd it do in our tests?
With 1100 lumens from just 13 watts, this amped up spin on the original SlimStyle looks promising.
This bigger, brighter version of the original SlimStyle LED looks like a strong value in its class
Yep, that's a light bulb -- and it's surprisingly well-rounded.
This Black Friday retailer Best Buy will give big discounts on Nest, Dropcam and Philips Hue smart-home products.
The Philips Blu-ray Surround Base HTB3525B offers a compelling combination of useful features and appropriate performance at a bargain price.
Philips' new SlimStyle is a strong performer that offers a good deal of value in the 75W replacement class.
This LED puts out a lot of light from not a lot of power.
We tested this bulb to see if it's a better buy than GE or Cree

I am going to Vegas next week. I went to Handgunlaws to check out the quick and dirty version of where I can not carry. Can anyone tell me somethings that I should be careful of while carrying there? What is the additude towards CC?
I've had no issues while CC'ing. Just don't OC in the casinos and you'll be fine. It's not illegal to CC in the casinos either, even if they have a sign posted.
Prohibited Locations
A permit holder must NOT carry a concealed firearm into:
Any facility of a law enforcement agency.
A prison, city or county jail, or detention facility.
A courthouse or courtroom.
A public airport and/or a public building that is located on the property of a public airport.
A public building that has a metal detector at each public entrance.
A public building that has a sign posted at each public entrance indicating that no firearms are allowed in the building.
Any facility of a public or private school without written permission.
Any facility of a vocational/technical school, or the University of Nevada, or Community College System without written permission.
Any other building owned or occupied by the Federal Government, the state, or local government.
Any other place where carrying a concealed firearm is prohibited by state or federal law.
The above provisions do not apply to a judge in the courthouse or courtroom he presides or employees with his authorization. They are also not applicable to the employee's of the above facilities. Violation of this section is a misdemeanor.
IIRC OC is OK but must have emppty chamber. Weird.
"Each worker carried his sword strapped to his side." Nehemiah 4:18
Guns Save Lives. Paramedics Save Lives. But...
Paramedics With Guns Scare People!
Boulder City and North Las Vegas are very different from Las Vegas and the rest of Nevada regarding CCW. If you plan on going to / thru either of those cities, pretend you're in Chicago or San Francisco. Lock 'em up for the duration!
Let's clear up some things. I live in Vegas, and I've carried concealed here for the last 2 years. If Nevada recognizes your permit for reciprocity. If you have a Michigan permit, it is honored in Nevada- here's the link to the state police page listing states that NV honors, I figure that is a better resource than any other-
Nevada Department of Public Safety - Records and Technology
Casino carry is fine if it's concealed. If there's a sign posted, the worst that they can do is ask you to leave. If you then leave, no problem. Of course, if you don't leave, then they can have you arrested for trespassing. Of course, if it's concealed, then they won't have a reason for them to ask you to leave. So, feel free to carry concealed in any casino.
As far as Boulder and North Las Vegas- They are different than Las Vegas. Open carry is legal in Vegas (I don't recommend open carry on the strip, as you may have a lunch consisting of concrete). Now, open carry is not legal in N. Las Vegas or Boulder. So, while if you don't have a concealed carry permit, you can have a gun on the front seat of your car, in NLV and Boulder, you can be arrested for carrying openly, or have a gun on the front seat, etc. If you're going to go through either of these towns, for example, driving to the dam, and you don't have a permit that NV honors, then lock the guns in the trunk while going through those areas.
Another difference between NV and other states, you not only can carry into a bar, and you can actually drink. Just stay under 0.08 if you think that drinking while carrying is actually a good idea.
So, enjoy your trip to the Silver State. Be sure to spend lots of money- the economy has been down recently, and we can use it! And, if we honor your permit, then carry concealed here. If you want a book that covers all of concealed carry, this is a link to The Gun Store, a store here that strangely enough sells guns, has a book for $11 that covers all of the ins and outs of carrying in NV- Concealed Firearm
It's at the bottom of the page.
Have a great trip!!!!!!!!!
side drift sorry,
What's up with UPS store, USPS -post office? Carrying legal in those places?
I carry a gun cause I can't carry a cop.
The BAC limit while carrying is 0.10. When they lowered it for DUI to get highway money they did not change the firearms law.
thanks for all the great INFO... Also headed there later this year.
Anyone know if the Las Vegas Convention Center is posted or forbidden?
"Run for your life from the man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter. So long as men live together on earth and need means to deal with one another-their only substitute, if they abandon money, is the muzzle of a gun."
Who is John Galt?
To summarize again:
If you have a permit that is recognized by Nevada, you may carry concealed in Nevada ANYWHERE except:
Buildings at the airport,
Schools (including colleges) and child care facilitys,
Public buildings (that means Government buildings) that are posted or have metal detectors,
Federally forbidden places.
That includes casinos, bars, clubs, restaurants, ANYWHERE. They may ask you to leave for any reason, or no reason at all, and, under Nevada's trespass law, you must leave.
You may drink whlie carrying. The BAC limit is 0.10 (DUI is 0.08, when they lowered it to get federal highway money they did not change the limit for CCW).
I hope this clears up any questions. Nevada laws concerning weapons are, for the most part at NRS 202.253 through 202.369.
Have fun in Las Vegas. Bring lots of money.
Thank you everyone for the responses. It has been very helpful.
Thats good to know, we are moving there shortly. Aliante I think the neighborhood is called.
This is all good information... My mom lives in Vegas, and I need to get out that way to see her.

Sleepwalking is a type of sleep disorder. A person who is sleepwalking may walk around or do other complex behaviors while still asleep. It may be as simple as sitting up in bed or as complex as leaving the house and going for a drive.
It is not clear exactly what causes sleepwalking. Some people are more likely to sleepwalk. The sleepwalking may be triggered by:
- Stress
- Lack of sleep
- Illnesses with fever
- Certain medications such as antidepressants, tranquilizers, anticonvulsants, and antihistamines
- Medical illness such as migraine, asthma, arrhythmia, heartburn, and sleep apnea
- Having a psychiatric disorders such as panic attack or post-traumatic stress syndrome
- Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is an abnormal condition of the thyroid. It can affect many of the body's systems, including glands in the brain that can interfere with proper sleep.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of sleepwalking include:
- Family history of sleepwalking
- Being a child—most common in preschool to pre-adolescence
Along with walking during sleep, other symptoms can include:
- Sitting up in bed and repeating certain movements such as rubbing eyes or fumbling with clothes
- Talking in your sleep
- Difficulty arousing during a sleepwalking episode
- Doing inappropriate behavior during a sleepwalking episode such as urinating in closets
- Becoming violent when a person tries to wake you
- Not remembering the event
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You will be asked about your:
- Family history
- Fatigue
- Medication
- Underlying illness or stress
Your doctor may refer you to a sleep specialist. You may need to have a sleep study done in a medical clinic.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Strategies to Prevent Injury
Your doctor will help you prevent injury during sleepwalking by recommending that you:
- Remove dangerous objects from your room
- Keep doors and windows closed and locked
Some cases of sleepwalking can be treated with hypnosis.
Your doctor will ask you to keep track of what time of night the sleepwalking tends to occur. You then schedule a wake up just before that time. This may help stop the sleepwalking.
Medications that may help reduce sleepwalking include:
- Sedative-hypnotics
- Antidepressants
To help reduce the chances of sleepwalking, take the following steps:
- Increase the amount of time scheduled for sleep.
- Avoid alcohol and certain medications that may trigger sleepwalking.
- Have a regular bedtime routine.

When Do I Stop Being Naked in Front of My Kids?
Sarah Tuttle-Singer's recent post on why she lets her kids see her naked reminded me of a piece I wrote almost two years ago about my family's nudity policy (or lack thereof).
Unlike Sarah, I didn't have a poetic, thoughtful, and profound reason for my decision to let my children see me (and their father) naked. My reason was pretty much the same reason I do all things; my belief that what's easiest for me to do is ultimately best for my kids (a.k.a. I am Occam's Mother).
But, when I wrote the above post, my oldest son was 12. And now he's 14. There's a big difference between 12 and 14–especially when he's a boy. Read the rest of this entry →

Vermentino here, though you wouldn't know it looking at the bottle. This is the same green grape as Rolle, as it's called in France, and Malvoisie de Corse, in parts of Corsica. Whatever the name, this white from Rhone native Michel Raoust is spectacularly different from most whites you've tried, whether Italian, French or Corsican. It offers a fascinating smoky note, with a round feel in the mouth and a very tasty herb character. It tastes a little bit wild, and is the perfect foil for fish and seafood cooked outdoors. 13% abv.

Hamley, the 36-year old native of Guelph, Ontario was an Assistant Coach for the Albany Attack last season. Hamley's offensive systems led Albany to the National Lacrosse League Champion's Cup Finals in 2001-2002 for the first time in their franchise history. Hamley brought the NLL's lowest scoring team in 2000-2001, to the League's third best scoring team last season.
Known as the "Hammer' during his playing days, Hamley played with the Buffalo Bandits from 1992-1995, where he was an assistant captain during each season. Hamley was one of the key components to the Bandits' back to back World Championships in 1992 and 1993.
"We are excited to have Bob in our family," said Landsharks Co-owner Mike Gongas.
"Bob brings a hard-working, blue-collar attitude to our organization. His knowledge of the game and his ability to make players respond should make for a successful season."
Before joining the Attack last season, Hamley was the Head Coach and General Manager of the Kitchener/Waterloo Junior A Braves lacrosse club from 1999-2001.
Dowling was a primary scout for the Ottawa Rebel for the past two seasons. The Ancaster, Ontario native played field lacrosse at Brock University, where he captained his squad to three Provincial Championships. Dowling also was involved with the Buffalo Bandits organization as a color commentator for the team on WUSA in Buffalo, NY. During the summer months, Dowling is the General Manager and Head Coach for the Burlington, Ontario Junior A lacrosse team.
Wilson was the Head Coach for the men's lacrosse team at Lurila University in Kitchener, Ontario where the team went on to win the Division II Canadian Championship last season. Wilson also has been an Assistant Coach for the past three season for the Kitchener/Waterloo Junior A lacrosse team in the Ontario Lacrosse Association.

Locomotive Ranch Trailer by Andrew Hinman Architecture
Andrew Hinman Architecture have designed the Locomotive Ranch Trailer in Uvalde, Texas.
One of the client's cherished possessions is a vintage streamlined aluminum house (not travel) trailer, and he wanted to relocate the trailer to the family's favorite spot on their South Texas ranch overlooking the Nueces River. Given the fragile geology and the flash-flood prone nature of the riverside location, the trailer's foundation and protection required special considerations. The resulting solution is a steel-framed, metal-roofed cradle, right at home amongst the existing rain barns and ranch equipment sheds. The cradle lifts the trailer above the flood plain and provides accessory components, sweeping river views, and safe access to the fishing/swimming hole. The cradle is anchored by a concrete blockhouse containing utilities, storage, and bathroom and topped by a screened sleeping loft. Rainwater harvesting is SOP in South Texas. The trailer interior is refurbished with bamboo panels. Interior lighting is provided by LED cove & mini-spots. The Ipe and Douglas Fir decking is FSC certified.

The architect did an amazing design job, from the water capturing, to the use of the outdoor spaces that not only accentuates the beauty of the trailer home but provides protection from the environment. The aesthetic s present feelings equivalent to those I received from "The Lake House". They are clean, uncluttered, and an enhancement to the surroundings. Thank you for sharing. A nod should go to the photographer as well for his presentation of the home.

Durango Street Photography
The street fair that is Taste of Durango was once again full of everything you could hope for when taking a family outing. Gourmet food from a large showing of resturaunts, micro-breweries pouring at a non-stop pace (thanks for the Mexican Loggers from Ska Brewing), and great live music from Waiting on Trial.
Proceeds went to help the great institution Manna Soup Kitchen. Thanks guys.
The crowds on the streets offer a great pool for dipping into street photography. The images in this post are a combination of the smells, tastes, and personalities the day offered. There are also the obligatory pictures of our girls doing their thing. Enjoy! -Daniel

Great story line that keeps you drawn to the story, wanting more. It has a good deal of adult content yet does not step over the boundary into the porn realm.
Thea Harrison's elder series is the closest for me, yet still very different. This story line was its own and therefore keeps you interested.
Well done! He carried it through nicely.
It was hot hot hot with a great love story that starts off in a devious manner. I laughed a few times, I did not cry... yet there were moments where I can say my heart was aching for the characters.
Great paranormal romance. Highly recommended.
"Terrible narrator"
The narrator is WAY too soft spoken and his overly soft voice does not correlate well with the story. I needed to go out and get the book as I was nauseated listening to a terrible voice.
In the same genre as Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark, only those books have an outstanding narrator.
Someone with a DEEPER and MANLIER voice. He is way way way way way too soft spoken! It is seriously annoying.
Disappointment at the narrator. The actual book I read on my own... all kinds of emotions as great story.
The audiobooks, ALL OF THEM, are ruined for me when this narrator is reading them. I had to go out and get the hard copies to enjoy.
"Hot hot hot!"
Not sure. I was not crazy about the audio narrator, as too monotone. The story has a few twists and turns, as well as a relationship that required more emotion in the narration. She made it more boring than exciting.
The complexity between the evolution of the mating between Nathan and Jordanna. Also, love Jordanna's story.
Monotone, boring, sleepy.
I would not try to make a movie out of this as Hollywood would likely ruin it!
Great story, very hot. I liked the print edition way better. A different audio narrator would have improved the audio, yet great story!
"Great romance with a twist of resistance!"
This book is hot and fun! The story is really good and keeps you on the edge, consistently wanting to know what happens next.
The complexity of the developing relationship between the two main characters, There was a lot of depth there and the twists and turns in the relationship kept it interesting.
I have and just as good. Great for audiobook.. really brings the book 'to life'.
***Spoiler alert***: When Shai confronts Nick as he is trying to leave again, tricks him, and begins to claim him... so emotional and very intense.
Great audiobook if you love paranormal romance. Very fun, keeps you on your toes!
"I've heard this story before..."
I am not sure. I loved The Night Huntress Series due to its originality. This story had the same story line as 'Underworld: Awakening"... The fact that this is the last book in the series does not make sense... the ending feels incomplete, like the author just ran out of ideas so decided to end it with book 7. I am disappointed with this one. Once again, weird similarity to a Vampire movie in the Underworld movie series.
The most interesting was the experimentation on subject A80. The least was that Cat and Bones were boring as so predictable.
Just as good. She always does a great job.
It was as it was a little over 8hrs and not longer, yet not an original story... very disappointing.
The series ending now is very disappointing and does not make sense. Soooo many unanswered questions at the end of this book. Sad.
"Where was she going with this???"
I am hard pressed to say no, yet this third book was ALL over the place and the plot is downright hypocritical and ridiculous.
Most interesting: The idea of genetic damage was intriguing, yet the way it was written about was overkill. Least interesting: the story itself, with poor character development and little sense.
Well narrated with good emotion. Easy to understand.
I am not sure... this story picked up from two great books and just went downhill. Without giving away much, I did not expect a fairy tale, yet what does happen is downright hypocritical and foolish. The plot is ridiculous and overdone, as if one did not know what to do with this story. Terrible end to a trilogy.
Be aware that this book will bring sadness and to many, disappointment. I am not sure if the author knew what to do with the third book as the plot is all over the place and more annoying than interesting. The last two hours of the book are gut-renchingly unexpected and leave me feeling empty with more questions than answers at the end of the trilogy. I am really disappointed with the third book... this trilogy went out with a flat tire!
"Macrieve.. Yes please!"
Yes! Great read and great story. Characters are well developed and you can't put the book down once you start! Very hot!
Chloe.. strong female. I love that she is a tomboy yet also very feminine, and she is anything but helpless.
He brings the story 'to life'... he manages it really well.
Hot and Hotter!
This is my favorite Immortals After Dark book up to now. Very fun and hot story! Highly recommended for those that love paranormal romances.
"Nice story, for adolescents."
What I liked best: Story line interesting, esp. with variety of faeries, vampires, werewolves, shadowhunters, etc. Cool world of 'magic'. Jace is a very cool character, Clary grew on me a little. What I liked least: this is a great book if you are simply looking for adventure with mythical characters, yet what this is not is a paranormal romance. I never saw the familial relationship between Jace and Clary happening, and was disappointed by it due to the build-up of a romance between them. Author makes Simon seem like a major geek.
It is in the genre of movies like Harry Potter, yet is several notches below the excellence of the Harry Potter series and still a different storyline with different characters.
Monotone. By listening to the story is how I differentiated the characters.
Great for young adolescents, yet not so great for those that love the world of paranormal romance. I only listened to this book as movie coming out. I will only read next book if the next book is made into a movie.
"Slow finish...."
I expected more. I found this a bland book, esp. for what may likely be considered the last book in the series (Book 12). I wanted more action and a thicker plot. Instead, I found events to be predictable and boring. The person Sookie ends up with was obvious, and I found it difficult to get through the book to finally get there. I found this to be one of her weaker books.
The same. Very good reader. She is an excellent narrator.
Sookie's southern charm and lots of great emotion.
Disappointing, I wanted more action and interactions between characters. There were not many exciting ones and I found this to be bland and predictable.
"It was good, not great..."
Average. My 2nd least favorite of all the Black Dagger brotherhood books.
Quinn... complex yet fun.
Clear audio
...would not make a movie of this book.
Waiting for the next book. I miss the themes of the first five books... those were so hot!!!!

Pink RathianTalk0
this wiki
Pink Rathian is a Subspecies of the Rathian introduced in Monster Hunter G. She is known to inhabit temperate and tropical areas and can be encountered at Low, High, and G Ranks.
Pink Rathian has a more heavily-armoured body and has greater health than her green relative. She can often be found in various quests alongside her gender counterpart, the Azure Rathalos.
Her attacks are generally stronger than those of normal Rathian, they are also much faster then its green relative, but that aside the two are identical in many ways.
Other Non-Subspecies Forms
Hard Core (HC) Pink Rathian
HC Pink Rathian has a more purple color to certain parts of its body and more spikes on its tail. It has new behavior and attacks including a fire ball so large and strong it creates an explosion larger than the creature itself, and has a tail swing that instead of turning its body, it waves its tail around behind it poisoning anyone it hits.
Game Appearances
In-Game Description
- The Pink Rathian is a genetic mutation of the Rathian.
- Pink Rathian returns, revamped. She is particularly adept at tail-based attacks now, and can be found in the Misty Peaks. Additionally to her new tail-rotation flip she performs a fire bite instead of a normal bite.
- Pink Rathian's tail is much tougher than the regular Rathian, requiring much more damage before it's cut.
- It can be infected by the Frenzy Virus.
- Her back can now be broken.

Beauty and the Beast Opinion Article
My List About Belle's Hairstyles.
As you can infer, this is my personal rank about Belle's hairstyles.
See also my list about Belle's outfits.
4. Low Ponytail
Movies: Beauty and the Beast, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World.
The most usual Belle's hairstyle is my least favorite. I think it's very plain and it doesn't value Belle's pretty face. She has the low ponytail for the most part of the movies with different bows, but my favorite is the green one. The green bow fits perfectly with Belle's brown hair. I love the pink one too, pink/brown is also a good combination. I really dislike the blue bow. It's completely wrong with her hair color. The red bow she wears in The Enchanted Christmas is nice, but nothing special.
3. Hood
Movies: Beauty and the Beast, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World.
Well, this isn't a real hairstyle, but Belle wears a hood several times during the movies, so I decided to include it. She's really sweet with a hood, especially with the pink one (this cloak is gorgeous). I don't like her red-brownish hood in Belle's Magical World, but the others are quite good.
2. Loose
Movies: Beauty and the Beast.
I love Belle's loose hair. She looks realistic and natural, moreover, I find her bangs fits more with this hairstyle than any others. I think loose hair really value Belle's beautiful hazel eyes. It suits very well with her face. Her hair seem very soft and well-groomed. I hoped she would be more with loose hair during the movie.
1. Half Updo
Movies: Beauty and the Beast, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (brief appearance)
This is the most elegant Disney hairstyle! It's very royal and Belle looks like a true princess. Everything is amazing. I love the way how the bangs is gathered up and how the rest of the hair falls on the shoulder. It's so classy and fits perfectly with the golden gown. Definitely Belle's best hairstyle, she's so pretty and lovely with it.
Thanks for reading!

The International Center of Photography in New York is proud to present "Strike Anywhere", an exhibition of photographs taken by ICP alumni, and centering around the historic revolutions that had happened in the past year.
Strike Anywhere draws light from the multiple pro-democracy movements that had sparked in different countries around the globe over the last 18 months — from the Arab Spring Protests, to the uprisings in Syria and Libya, as well as the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations taking place throughout the United States.
As stated by ICP's Associate Director of Education, Suzanne Nicholas: "It is in the tradition and values of ICP that our alumni are bearing witness to these extraordinary events."
Their work presented here, both reportage and conceptual, provides a powerful premise for generating conversation about these dramatic and evolving popular movements. Strike Anywhere highlights ICP's international reach and the unique position of our alumni, who are out on the forefront, sometimes at great personal risk, witnessing, recording and commenting on the powerful forces and voices emerging around the world.
Strike Anywhere is in exhibition at the Rita K. Hillman Education Gallery at the School at ICP in New York from September 8 to November 25, 2012.
