Works fine for me. I clean after a range session so no problem.
This is a discussion on Question about Winchest White Box within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Works fine for me. I clean after a range session so no problem....
Works fine for me. I clean after a range session so no problem.
If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good. ~ Thomas J. Watson, Jr.
I carry 155 gr JHP, and do range time with 165 gr FMJ (White Box) .40 S&W. To me, tis a good combo. Weight wise, I notice no difference...accuracy remains constant. I always clean after the range, but I find that WWB is no dirtier than any other. Never had an issue with WWB.
God Bless the USA
Ya, it's dirty as is all cheep ammo. Realy shows on stainless guns.
But --- you can't beat the price and guns should be cleaned after all
range sessions anyway. LOAD, SHOOT, CLEAN, REPEAT.
The power of the future is in its ability to inspire the present.
WWB seems doesn't seem any dirtier than any of the other economy practice rounds. Except that now that they've changed the packaging the top row of rounds tends to have gobs of packaging glue on them. But if you take the time to knock that stuff of em' before you load your mag it's no big deal. However, if you don't it can cause some failures.
It's fine and is my main practice ammo. How cares if it is dirty as long as you clean your guns after every range session.
I shoot it also and have no problems with it. I finally talked my buddy into trying cheaper ammo, and his .40 wouldn't eat it. Dirty ammo doesn't matter to me since I clean my gun after every range session. Mike Z
"fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen.'' Warren vs District of Columbia
I shoot it in .380, 9mm, .357SIG, .40 and have never found it to be any dirtier than other inexpensive ammo. I have also found it to be more consistent from box to box than Remington UMC. Both Sportsmans Guide and Cheaper Than Dirt have very good prices at times. But always check the shipping. Buy one box of .22lr from Cheaper Than Dirt and you still pay $9.99 shipping.
Just got a very good deal on some .357SIG from Sportsmans Guide and had a $10 coupon that covered the shipping. UPS should deliver 500 rounds tomorrow.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. Albert Einstein
I picked up 8 50 rd. boxes of WWB 9mm today for 4.63 a box. Might want to go pick some up if youve got a hungry 9mm, I doubt they will stay that cheap for long. Dirty or not, it is great practice ammo.
Fear No Evil.
i've found thats its a bit dirtier then cci aluminum, but i dont really care since i clean my glock and beretta after firing them in any case, and they're super easy guns to clean.
Reliability wise, its grade A ammo.
Driver carries less then $20 of remorse.
If you think WWB is dirty,try some wolf.
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
- Sir Winston Churchill
i shoot alot of WWB and don't think it is a dirty ammo. wolf ammo is dirty and won't see a chamber in any of my guns.
WWB is good ammo at a great price IMO, esp. if purchased at wally world.
--people ask why I carry, and I show them this picture. I think it says it all.--
NRA Certified Instructor--many disciplines
I've never had any problems with WWB. Or Remington UMC.
If you want cheaper than Wally World, in my neck of the woods occasionally Academy Sports will offer some deals on CCI aluminum, which they sell dirt freakin' cheap (I got lotsa boxes of 9mm at $ 3.86 a box of 50, which is cheaper, I think, than it would be to reload it).
Cheaper still? You'll have to look, but if you really scour the internet, you can find stuff even cheaper every once in a while (not every day).
I used to shoot it. It caused my H&K USP to Fail To Feed at least once in a hundred rounds. And I thought it was dirty, too.

"It is enough to note, as we have observed, that the American people have considered the handgun to be the quintessential self-defense weapon." - Justice Scalia, SCOTUS - DC v Heller - 26 JUN 2008
WWB is good ammo. I picked up 200 rounds of 9mm for around 23.00 with tax the other day. If you want to shoot some dirty ammo shoot some of the Russian stuff. The stuff that I shoot out of my Norinco MAK-90 smells like cat piss and really fouls it up.
Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!

When it comes to trendiness, you probably think about your wardrobe, hairstyles, music, and maybe even things like the type of car you drive or the bike you ride. Do you think about sex? If not, maybe you should. Believe it or not, there are trends in sex, and they subtly and not so subtly influence your life whether you know about them or not. Today's sex trends are more guy-friendly than ever before. You might even say that the women's liberation movement has freed up women in ways that have sparked something of a men's sexual liberation.
Find an Affair Safely and Easily
One of the most beneficial sex trends for married men is using the internet to find an affair. Every day, more married people join affair dating sites, and the trend is only expected to grow. courtesy of www.affairhandbook.com These sites make it safer and easier to meet women for affairs than ever before in history. If you want to find an affair, but you've been too afraid that your wife will find out, this trend is the one you've been hoping for. You can enjoy extramarital sex without worrying that your wife will discover your activities. Almost all men fantasize about sex with women other than their wives, and now that it is so convenient and easy to find an affair, there's no reason you shouldn't live out those fantasies.
Swinging is No Longer Uncommon
Swinging used to be so uncommon, it was considered to be an odd fringe society activity that no one normal wanted to be associated with. But recent studies have show time and time again that open marriages are actually healthier, happier, and tend to last longer. This research, combined with how easy the internet has made it to hook up with other swingers, has helped swinging to go mainstream. Once the trend started to catch on, it spread like wildfire. Not only are more people getting involved with the lifestyle, more people are also discussing it openly, which is stripping away the stigma and helping people feel freer about trying it.
No Strings XXXconnect Hookups
The no strings xxxconnect hookup trend is one that benefits everyone, whether you're single, dating, or married. Men and women of every age are discovering the benefits to casual sex dating. The visit the site, put up profiles and engage in more open relationships and hookups then every before. There are a lot of reasons that sex in a no strings xxxconnect.com fling might be right for you. Maybe you're in a happy relationship and you just want some meaningless fun on the side. Or maybe you're not attached to anyone, and you don't want to be! Your life is already full and busy. You've got a great job, an active social life, and you don't want a relationship, you just want to have a good time. Both scenarios are perfectly good reasons to get in on the xxxconnect hookup trend. Make it work for you. Have great sex without having to worry about obligations and commitments.
All of the latest sex trends have two things in common. The first is that they've all grown and spread so rapidly and easily because of the internet. Things that once took years to catch on can now grow by leaps and bounds over the course of a couple of weeks. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can hook up with someone you've never met, or share an article about new sexual studies showing that promiscuity is normal. Secondly, and more importantly, all of these trends revolve around a central theme of sexual freedom. We've all been victim to the old ways of relating to sex and relationships. Surely, you were taught that the best way to go about having your sexual needs met was to get into a serious relationship, get married, and remain monogamous. Anything else was sleazy and immoral. But thankfully, the days of sexual norms being controlled by puritanical belief systems that use guilt and shame to control normal, healthy human desires are on their way out. If Generation Y has done one thing better than any other generation, it may very well be that they have done away with blindly doing what their parents did. They grew up questioning everything they were told, and as a result of this free thinking, their sex lives have looked different than any previous generation. While lots of trends come and go quickly, these sex trends appear to be not just sticking around, but growing. If you haven't already taken advantage of what these trends can mean for your sex life, there's no time like the present. Free yourself from outdated and stale belief systems and reclaim your sexual freedom. Unlike the mullet, this is one trend you will never regret trying.

DISH's Marketing VP, Alfredo Rodriguez To Be Featured Keynote Interview Guest At The Tenth Annual Hispanic Television Summit
NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A leading pay television marketing executive, Alfredo Rodriguez, Vice President of Marketing at DISH will be the mid-morning featured keynote interview guest at the Tenth Annual Hispanic Television Summit, presented by two television industry publications, Broadcasting & Cable and Multichannel News. The interview will focus on DISH's commitment to advertising to the Hispanic audience.
Louis Hillelson, the Group Publisher for the two publications said, "Mr. Rodriguez represents one of the largest Hispanic advertising budgets in the country. DISH is being featured for their understanding of the importance to serve Latino viewers as well as for their commitment to growing the Hispanic segment within the pay television services category."
Hillelson continued, "Each year at this summit, we seek to feature a leading executive from one of the top advertisers in Hispanic TV. It is curious to recognize that some of the largest investors in Hispanic television advertising are pay TV companies. DISH is not only the leading advertiser in their category, but is also one of the largest advertisers, second only to P&G." (Source: Hispanic Fact Pack 2012, Advertising Age).The interview will be conducted as part of the morning's sessions at the Tenth Annual Hispanic Television Summit, to be held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square of New York City on Wednesday, October 3, 2012 Previous Summits have featured other advertisers including P&G, Kraft, AT&T Wireless, Sprint, Levi's and others. This year will be the first time that a pay TV provider will be featured in this role within the Summit agenda. "I'm pleased to have the opportunity to speak in this summit and be amongst a group of industry leaders dedicated to providing entertainment and educational alternatives to the Latino consumer," said Alfredo Rodriguez. "At DISH, we have placed a significant focus on this dynamic consumer segment and strive to deliver products and services specifically addressing the variety of needs of Latinos in the U.S." The Hispanic Television Summit has been presented annually since 2003. It has become a "must attend" event for those in the business of television and digital video targeted to the US Hispanic and Latin American viewing audience. It attracts about 500 attendees from across the country, Latin America and Spain. The Summit is being produced for the tenth time by the Schramm Marketing Group, a NY-based marketing services company which includes Hispanic marketing among its specialties.

That's the first big tour to hit town in 2011, but there are lots of small but intriguing offerings coming up in local playhouses.
It's taken a decade since its Royal Shakespeare Company debut for Martin McDonagh's black, bloody comedy The Lieutenant of Inishmore to come our way, but it's finally playing Friday through February 6 at Addison's WaterTower Theatre. Pittsburgh-based special-effects expert Steve Tolin was hired in for the staging. He's created effects for nine other productions of the play, including one at Berkeley Rep, and he won a 2009 Joseph Jefferson Award for his work on the play at a theater in Chicago.
This, a wry comedy by Melissa James Gibson that was praised by critics in its Off-Broadway debut in 2009, unsentimentally addresses the dilemmas of Boomers hitting middle age. See it January 13 through February 13 at Fort Worth's Stage West.
Remember Second Thought Theatre? Started by a scrappy group of talented Baylor drama grads, the company did some great stuff in the mid-2000s, then fell into disarray when the original members scattered to Chicago and LA in search of film and TV work. Now one of the founders, actor-director-playwright Steven Walters, is back in charge. With help from Dallas Theater Center's Lee Trull, Matthew Gray and Chris LaBove, Walters is working to give Second Thought a second life. Directed by Gray, Walters stars in Will Eno's one-man play Thom Pain (based on nothing) for Second Thought January 13-29 in the studio space at the Addison Theatre Centre.
Broadway stars Betty Buckley and Tovah Feldshuh headline Dallas Theater Center's Arsenic and Old Lace, staged back at the company's old home at Kalita Humphreys Theater, February 4 through March 13.
Uptown Players preach to their choir with the dressed-in-drag Golden Girls spoof Thank You for Being a Friend, February 4-27 at the Rose Room. And Kitchen Dog Theater tempts the theater demons with "The Scottish Play," aka Macbeth, February 4 through March 5 at McKinney Avenue Contemporary. It's early in the year for Shakespeare, but at least it's his shortest, bloodiest one.

Japan at the Millennium: Joining Past and Future
This critical, multi-disciplinary collection explores the convergence of past and future in contemporary Japan. Contributors comment on a wide range of economic, socio-cultural, and political trends -- such as the mobilization of Japanese labour, the burgeoning Ainu identity movement, and the shifting place of the modern woman -- and conclude that despite the rapid changes, many of the traditional facets of Japanese society have remained intact. Institutional change, they assert, is unlikely to occur quickly, and Japan must find alternate ways to adjust to 21st century pressures of global competition and interdependence. A pleasure to read, this broad volume will be welcomed by upper level undergraduates, graduates, and specialists in Japanese studies.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals' CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Please note that we expect to file shortly the Form 10-Q for the second quarter on behalf of Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc. Following some brief introductory remarks, we will open our call to questions.
Now I will hand the call over to Bruce.
Bruce C. Cozadd
Thank you, Ami. Good afternoon, everyone, and thanks for joining us. We are a little over halfway through the year, and I am pleased to report that we've made very real progress executing on our strategy and growing our business. Not only have we closed two significant transactions and expanded our operations and management capabilities, we've also broadened our portfolio and made important investments in key products, extended our geographical footprint into Europe, and structured our commercial organization for efficiency and scalability all while continuing to drive top and bottom line growth.Our second quarter financial performance was extremely strong with record revenues of $130 million in the second quarter, more than double last year's second quarter revenues. GAAP net income of $27 million and adjusted net income of $66 million, a 72% increase over the second quarter of last year. While this growth was partially driven by the expanded portfolio from our recent acquisitions, Xyrem was the major driver, posting 11% year-over-year second quarter volume growth. The average number of active patients during the quarter increased significantly to 9,850 from 8,700 from the prior year's second quarter. We think this strong performance is the result of our ongoing programs to improve compliance and persistency and the focused efforts of our Xyrem-dedicated sales force, which has now been in place for a full quarter. We think there is further room to improve on compliance and persistency measures and we've recently been obtain that data at a physician level, which will allow our reps to share with physicians how their patients are doing relative to the overall treated population. Looking ahead, we are now projecting the Xyrem volume growth for the year will be in the low double digits, and we are raising our guidance for Xyrem sales.

Bangkok Dangerous(2008)
The life of Joe, an anonymous assassin, takes an unexpected turn when he travels to Thailand to complete a series of contract killings. Joe, a remorseless hitman, is in Bangkok to execute four enemies of a ruthless crime boss named Surat. He hires Kong, a street punk and pickpocket, to run errands for him with the intention of covering his tracks by killing him at the end of the assignment. Strangely, Joe, the ultimate lone wolf, finds himself mentoring the young man instead whilst simultaneously being drawn into a tentative romance with a local shop girl. As he falls further under the sway of Bangkok's intoxicating beauty, Joe begins to question his isolated existence and let down his guard--just as Surat decides it's time to clean house.

Bangkok Dangerous Blu-ray Review
Nicolas Cage's latest film makes for a suitable high definition experience.
Reviewed by Martin Liebman, December 23, 2008
My name's Joe. This is what I do.
Consider for a moment the sub-genre of films that build a plot around the life of a hit man. Most any of them play out something like this: hit man has done more than his fair share of dirty deeds over the years, wants out, decides to do that one final job, and later comes to regret the decision. Bangkok Dangerous plays out to a point as an amalgamation of every hit man movie cliché there is, but because the basic structure isn't as widely overblown as something most everyone has seen one hundred times over, like an average slasher picture, this film manages to remain somewhat fresh, entertaining, and most importantly, watchable. Also in the film's favor is something of an unexpected finale that doesn't follow bad movie convention. Rather than simply taking the plot points from the previous two acts, tossing them all into a grinder, and churning out some sloppy, uneventful, meaningless, expected conclusion, Bangkok Dangerous offers a nice little twist ending that is anything but candy coated and happily-ever-after, and not even as one might expect as the plot develops over the first 90 minutes of the film.
Bangkok Dangerous follows the twilight of hit man Joe's (Nicolas Cage, Lord of War) career as he travels to Bangkok for a final mission. He lives by a simple set of four rules, the last of which tells him to get out of the game before becoming too soft, relaxed, and himself an assassin's target. Upon arrival in the "corrupt, dirty, and dense" city, Joe hires a middle man, a street merchant named Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm), to act as a liaison between himself and his employers. Meanwhile, Joe becomes romantically involved with a deaf-mute drugstore clerk named Fon (Charlie Young). Both of these relationships break his rules of the trade. As Joe leads a double life, taking out targets while carving out a sense of normalcy through his relationship with Fon, will his mismanagement of the rules of the game be his demise?
Bangkok Dangerous's odd yet somewhat enticing mixture of convention and surprise finale makes for a movie both easy to denigrate but not all that hard to praise. It plays out predictably enough, to a point, then becomes its own entity by the end. The events surrounding the first hour of the film play out in typical action movie fashion, pointing to a conclusion that, to the movie's credit, never materializes. Upon further reflection, subtle hints point to the unanticipated conclusion, particularly the film's bleak appearance (see the video review) which foreshadows the ending nicely. The film's first two acts are straightforward and easy to watch though not all that engaging; they are never mind numbingly bad nor dull enough to leave audiences squirming in their seats. Rather, the film is surprisingly engaging, the characters developed well enough, and the pacing just right, to hold audience attention. The action is sufficient but unremarkable, though the love angle works slightly better here than it does in other movies of this sort.
Bangkok Dangerous is an action movie at its most basic levels, and it is in the action sequences that the film takes on something of a hit-or-miss quality. As the film opens, viewers witness Joe methodically taking out a target in a very stylish and to-the-point sequence, accompanied by an adrenaline-pumping score courtesy of Brian Tyler (Rambo). Despite this stylish and mostly exciting opening kill, the action sequences the rest of the way through are not all that interesting from a visual perspective, playing out as standard and stale action movie stunts and shootouts. Nevertheless, like the rest of the movie, the scenes are oddly engaging despite a sense of "been there, done that" repetitiveness.
Joe's romantic relationship with Fon is perhaps the most interesting angle the film has to offer. The script never makes her a prop or pawn on which to hinge the action. Rather, she becomes a part of Joe's life, and although he is not forthright with her, his humanity and compassion effect his actions later in the film. The relationship is well-integrated into the plot and rewards viewers with a gentle tug of the heartstrings in one or two places. Cage and Young share a good chemistry together, and the challenge of developing a relationship between Joe and a deaf-mute woman requires more than sappy dialogue; the acting must be genuine and the direction true to pull it off, and Cage, Young, and the Pang Brothers (Re-Cycle) do just that. Without spoiling the film, it is this relationship that sets the film apart from others, and Bangkok Dangerous never falls into movie convention by taking the relationship to the expected conclusion.
Bangkok Dangerous Blu-ray, Video Quality
Bangkok Dangerous sights in on Blu-ray courtesy of Lionsgate with a 1080p transfer and framed in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The film offers something of a stylized look that doesn't stand out as too odd or distracting, but it also doesn't lend itself very well to top-flight high definition eye candy, either. This is a very dark movie, and one that is also extremely grainy, which lends a unique, but very cinematic, look and feel to the film. Blacks, in which the film is bathed, are stable but sometimes veer towards being a bit too bright. The dark nights on the Bangkok streets are punctuated nicely by spots of neon color that offer the best bit of vibrancy throughout the image. Interior shots are mostly drab and only moderately-at-best lit. As a result of the dark, stylized, drab look, flesh tones take on a yellowish, slightly green tint in many shots. Still, detail is adequate; many close-ups of Nicolas Cage's face reveal all the finest of nuances. However, fine detail is rather low elsewhere. Most objects, foreground and background, appear soft and undefined. What there is to see does look great; a boating scene in chapter nine reveals excellent color reproduction and above average detail on many objects. The finale is bathed in various colors, red and blue, primarily, that again add to the stylized look of the film. Bangkok Dangerous will never be a reference grade disc, but the transfer appears to be an accurate representation of the film's intended look and feel.
Bangkok Dangerous Blu-ray, Audio Quality
Bangkok Dangerous explodes onto Blu-ray with a full-fledged DTS-HD MA 7.1 lossless soundtrack. Both Brian Tyler's score, and the various bass-heavy popular music numbers, play out with excellent spacing, shooting out of every speaker with plenty of bass thrown in for good measure. A club scene in chapter three is one of the more lively scenes yet on Blu-ray, as the pulse-pounding techno beats permeate every square inch of the listening area, effectively turning the home theater into a vivacious dance club. Several similar scenes play throughout the movie. Gun shots tear through the soundstage with an exciting amount of punch and vigor, as do several motorcycle sequences. The soundtrack creates a nice subtle atmosphere in many scenes, bringing various places and events to life. For example, a rain and thunderstorm scene in chapter eight lends a nice audible effect that adds some sonic flair to one of the film's romantic sequences. The action begins to erupt in chapter 12 with gunshots going off in every direction, cracking and impacting all over the soundstage, and taking advantage of every speaker. It's not 3:10 to Yuma, but it works, and is a good, clean, fun action movie listen.
Bangkok Dangerous Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Bangkok Dangerous comes to Blu-ray with a smaller supplemental package than what would have been ideal. Things get started with From Hong Kong to Bangkok (1080i, 15:21). This piece looks at the development and influence of Asian Cinema, hosted by film critic David Chute. 'Bangkok Dangerous:' The Execution of the Film (1080i, 13:31) features a series of cast and crew interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and clips from the film as discussions about the original film, shooting in Bangkok, the themes and style of the film, and more, make up the bulk of the feature. Also included is an alternate ending (1080p, 8:38), the film's theatrical trailer (1080p, 2:14), and additional 1080p trailers for My Bloody Valentine 3-D, The Spirit, War, Crank, Lord of War, and The Punisher. This disc is also "Molog" enabled, allowing users with a BD-Live (Blu-ray profile 2.0)-enabled player to discuss the film with other users as it plays.
Disc two of this set features a digital copy of the film for playback on personal computers and select portable video devices, including the Apple iPod. Played back on a second generation iPod touch, the video quality is acceptable and on par with other digital copies, with fine color and decent detail and depth, but with the occasional blocking problems, particularly in the blacks. The sound presentation is of a higher quality, with a good presence across the two channels and average dialogue reproduction and sound effects.
Bangkok Dangerous Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Bangkok Dangerous is a difficult film to judge. It's not Leon, for sure, but it is an enjoyable ride that plays better than it should and ends with a most unexpected final shot. The film is far better than its paltry box office take may lead one to believe, and it offers more meaning and depth upon closer examination than do other movies of this sort. This is by no means a historical, or even all that memorable, film, but it does make for a rewarding 90+ minutes for those with an open mind willing to give it a chance. Lionsgate's Blu-ray release of Bangkok Dangerous is something of a letdown. The picture quality is sure to disappoint many viewers, though it appears to replicate the film's intended look nicely enough. The 7.1 lossless audio option is a step above, featuring a dynamic and exciting listen. Unfortunately for fans, the disc is short on extras. As such, Bangkok Dangerous makes for a very solid rental, and fans should not be hesitant to add this to their collections when the price is right.

Recently, GamerFitNation was able to interview Kevin Allocca, head of culture and trends for YouTube, about YouTube's list of their most popular gaming videos of 2013. PlayStation and the PlayStation 4 topped the list with Microsoft and Nintendo nowhere to be found. We got the chance to get some questions answered, shining some light on how videos reach the levels of popularity required to make it on the list.
GamerFitNation: What makes a video successful?
Allocca: There's no exact formula, but popular videos tend to have three key characteristics: They're unexpected or surprising in some way; they're something that you want to share with other people or participate in; and, increasingly, they come from a channel with more videos like it and a built-in audience.
GamerFitNation: Now, the PlayStation 4 was the number one gaming video this past year. How, significant is that, and what attributed to that success?
Allocca: This is a big year for gaming consoles, so it's great to see PlayStation making a really creative video for their fans. Video game videos on YouTube overall are huge, and this launch was one of the biggest moments of the year — both of which played into its success.
GamerFitNation: How can companies like Microsoft and Nintendo make their videos more entertaining so that they can go viral?
Allocca: Same as #1.
GamerFitNation: How is Minecraft so popular? Where does its popularity come from?
Allocca: Minecraft isn't just a video game; it's a whole community of people that love playing it, sharing videos about it, and watching what other people in the community are doing. This creative community is what has set it apart and helps explain its popularity.
GamerFitNation: After looking at the number one video on the list, we see the rest and it looks like there are a variety of videos. What made these videos reach out so far into the gaming community and become so popular?
Allocca: There's so much going on in video game videos on YouTube, so you see a wide variety of successful videos. There's how to videos, parodies, musicals and everything in between.
GamerFitNation: The Grand Theft Auto franchise has always been very popular. Has Rockstar mastered an art of making popular videos/games for both causal and hardcore markets?
Allocca: They put out their own great videos and also have tons of channels on YouTube putting out videos about their game, which helps the overall success. They also know how to make videos that will get people talking!
GamerFitNation: Lastly, what trends can we expect to see in the future with gaming in 2014? Will Microsoft and Nintendo be able to compete with the power PlayStation has in the YouTube gaming market?
Allocca: You can expect 2014 to be even more unpredictable than this year. I think we'll see even more innovative work from some of these big companies. We'll see more new channels from around the world stretching even more creative boundaries.

Text Message Warns of "Shootout" at Austin High School
POSTED: Monday, October 18, 2010 - 11:23am
UPDATED: Monday, October 18, 2010 - 6:33pm
El Paso – Extra police officers were on campus Monday at Austin High School after EPISD administrators learned about a text message being circulated that warned about a shootout during lunch time.
A parent of a student at Austin High School forwarded the text message to NewsChannel 9. She wanted to remain anonymous but said the text message is being sent between students at the school.
It said, "STUDENTS BE CAUTIOUS! SHOOTOUT TO HAPPEN AT AUSTIN HIGH SCHOOL TODAY AT LUNCH. PLEASE FORWARD TO EVERYONE ON YOUR PHONE. NOT A JOKE."
EPISD spokesperson Berenice Zubia said the district added 5 extra police officers on campus after learning of the text message. The increased security will remain in place Tuesday as well.
The school, which has a closed campus during lunchtime, was not under a lock down and class schedules were normal.
"At this point there is no evidence to confirm this information," Zubia said about the text message. "EPISD's Police Department is aware of the situation and has extra presence at the campus."
EPISD Police are trying to find out where the text message originated.

how openVPN uses NDIS API on linux
Hi all,
I'm working on openVPN. I need to use openVPN means building , installing openVPN on linux. Well, I have builded and installed openVPN on windows. Now, i need to do it on linux too.
I want to know like openVPN driver's code of tap-win32 uses NDIS API for registering and loading TAP driver and does lots more.
So, i want to know whether NDIS API is also used in linux also to load TAP interface in linux.
I have builded and installed openVPN on linux also. And "ifconfig" command also shows "tap0" interface of openVPN on my system.
But here, i dont know whether NDIS API is used or not.
I read on webpages about NDIS on linux. There, It is specified that NDIS is used on linux for installing windows wireless drivers on linux.
openVPN code for tap driver uses NDIS functions to register tap driver on system. But, on linux, how openVPN uses NDIS is the question i 'm looking for?
My linux machine doesnt have NDIS, so how openVPN is using NDIS functions when openVPN is run prperly on my linux machine.
So, please help me to find out implementation of openVPN on linux regarding NDIS usage.
At last, i also want to confirm whether the driver's code of openVPN is same for windows and linux or not..
Please help.
Thanking you,

Kenya's ICT Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i on policy priorities & ICT sector investment
What are your main policy priorities?
MATIANG'I: Some of our main policies in the ICT sector in Kenya include, one, to increase internet penetration in the country because however you try to deploy ICT, if there aren't too many people who are able to access the Internet and use whatever services that you are providing, it doesn't make sense to anyone. So our first policy is to try to increase internet penetration. But how do we do that? Through assisting the development of ICT infrastructure. Right now we have in place a national ICT master plan that we are trying to implement, and jointly or closely related to or as a key feature of the national ICT master plan, is the national broadband strategy. In the next 2 to 3 years in my view, when people ask me what are some of the things I would like to see happen in the ICT sector, I know I will tell them broadband, broadband, broadband, because unless we are able to move broadband across the country, then our ICT revolution is going nowhere.
Secondly, is to support innovation, and a lot of the young people who are engaged in the development of new solutions to meet our needs, need to be supported to scale up some of these developments, so that they can create employment and they can increase the use of ICT services in the country.
Thirdly, is how do we deploy ICT to improve services, and again, ICT is not just meant to be deployed for the heck of it. It's intended to change lives because ICT is supposed to be trans-formative, and we in government are supposed to be the leaders in the deployment of ICT not just to meet the needs of our people, but also to develop ways in which we provide services to our people. Recently in Kenya, you've noticed that the government is setting up one-stop shopping centers across the country. So that in each of our counties in Kenya, we are going to have one central place where members of the public can get all their services in one place, and this is going to be on an ICT driven platform.
Fourthly, we want our country or our economy to be a knowledge-based economy. So how do we do this again? To ensure that not just the deployment but the use of ICT is becoming a way of life in the country.
Fifthly, to facilitate all these we have to strengthen the ICT infrastructure in the country. That's why as government we are going to begin rolling out a 4G network to be sure that Kenyans can access faster internet speeds; that Kenyans in all corners of the country are able to get ICT driven services, whatever they are. These are critical issues for the development of our country, because ultimately we are looking at how ICT contributes to job creation, to better services, transparent government, efficient service provision across the board, and most importantly as I said, how this changes our lives.
How does ICT contribute to Kenya's Vision 2030?
MATIANG'I: In our Vision 2030, our development blueprint, we pointed out clearly that ICT is going to be a critical enabler. The philosophy behind this is that we intend, in the entirety of our public service spectrum, that ICT becomes the underpinning framework and the underpinning infrastructure for the provision of services across the board. Now to do this, we are addressing all facets of it. Through policy, it's good for us to address the infrastructure on the demand side, but we also need to address the supply side of it. And then we develop the requisite skills of our people to be able to not only come up with solutions but also to use ICT.
Ultimately, ICT contributes up to about 2.5% - 2.6% of our GDP, but our focus is to get it to 5%, moving into the future. We are hoping that by the year 2017, ICT will be contributing about 5% of our GDP through the innovations that come up, through cost cutting that's brought by provision of services, and through new products that we provide through the innovations that come up as a result of the use of ICT. Then of course, most importantly, through some of the investments that arise as a result of our effective and efficient deployment of ICTs.
In what ways is the Kenyan government investing in ICT?
MATIANG'I: The government is investing in ICT very heavily, because as a critical driver of our Vision 2030 development blueprint, we are investing very heavily in ICT. First we are focusing on the development of our technology park, Konza, which means putting up the technology park on a 5,000 acre piece of land outside Nairobi. We hope that when we put up the technology park, we are going to create a lot of jobs through the business process outsourcing they do up in there, through the innovations and other investments that come there.
The role of government in that, other than creating the institutional infrastructure that supports it, is to try and mobilize resources to do the infrastructure work that will support the development of the smart city. That means investing resources in roads, doing some work to ensure there is sufficient power, sufficient water, and sewage networks out of that city. We have invested budget resources and we are going to do so consistently in each financial year for the next 5 years, to ensure that the Technology Park comes up.
Beginning this year we are going to begin doing the initial work in phase one of developing the infrastructure that supports Konza. We have already successfully negotiated resources from the African Development Bank, to create a huge dam outside the Technology Park, which is called Thwake Dam, out of which we hope to get 20 megawatts of power. We'll get water to the Technology Park and then this multi-purpose project will also support some irrigation work downstream. Once that is done we will have the power we need, and we will have the water we need. Our colleagues in government, who are in charge of roads and infrastructure, have put aside some resources to develop the road network in the Technology Park. All these are resources that the government is spending to bring up the Technology Park, but that's not the only one.
There are other sectors in which we are deploying resources. The government is putting resources in terms of developing and implementing the facilitating policy and infrastructure for ICT. We worked on the national ICT master plan; we worked on the national broadband strategy, and completed these, and we have assembled resources within government to implement these policies and to ensure that they are in place.
Thirdly and most importantly, we've started other ambitious ICT projects across the government, that are intended to provide the infrastructure and also provide the policy framework for ICT to thrive, or the use of ICT to thrive. The Computers For Schools program, which is intended to create an educational ecosystem that deploys ICT in education, together with the businesses and opportunities that come with it, such as the digitization of content, and developing and migrating content to the digital platform. Even in the broadcasting sector, we are already working on migrating our TV broadcasting to the digital platform; again, providing a huge opportunity for the development of content so that our young people may be involved in the development and production of content that will be broadcast on a wider and much more expanded digital broadcasting platform. So all these are intended to create opportunities for creativity to thrive, opportunities for innovation to grow, opportunities for our young people to create jobs, and to be more meaningfully involved, and most importantly, to migrate our society to the broad spectrum of using ICT to enhance service provision, and transform our economy.

Video: Tempura Wizard Wants to Deep-Fry Kid Icarus
- |
- 2:33 pm |
- Permalink
Pit's come a long way.
Check out the new extended trailer of Kid Icarus: Uprising, the upcoming Nintendo 3DS installment of the 25-year-old franchise. The game follows Eros-like hero Pit as he defends the world from a reborn Medusa.
Kid Icarus: Uprising is the first game in the series since the 1991 Game Boy sequel, Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters. Uprising hits North American and European shelves March 23.
The clip boasts colorful and diverse battlegrounds, extensive voice acting, and three of Pit's combat vehicles. We're also reintroduced to the Eggplant Wizard, a foe from the original NES game that turns Pit into a legged aubergine. Making his debut is the Tempura Wizard.
"If he deep-fries you, keep your distance — one bite, and you'll be finished," cautions Goddess of Light, Lady Palutena.
Also in the trailer: a round-up of classic Kid Icarus baddies, gloriously re-imagined with 3D graphics. Finally, our angel hero comes to face-to-face with an evil twin.

So apparently McDonald's is rolling out a new "snack sized" McFlurry.
Sounds low-cal-ish, right?
The new McFlurry's 15 teaspoons of added sugar helps pack its 430 calorie bottom line. That's 7 calories more than you'd get "snacking" on a Snickers Bar and then washing it down with a can of Coca Cola.
With "snacks" like that, who needs meals?

Wow, that's great! Think of the gas I'll save with one stop shopping at the 7-11, once a week with 21 of each. SB&C, three times a day will be under the 1500 calories I aim for, so that means I can LOSE WEIGHT on this diet.
No fiddling with weights, calories, nutrition balancing, stuff I hate the taste of, taking a half day or more to calculate, shop, drive, unload, unpack, wash, chop, store, cook, clean, recycle, take out the garbage.
I could even have one 100 or so calorie snack each day. Yum. I'll deep fry one of them, and top it with whipped creme.
Thanks doc!
