Welcome to GamesRadar's daily blast of all things pertaining to the ever-growing field of game music. Each post will introduce new sounds, games, composers and fan-made remixes of gaming's greatest aural achievements.
June 23, 2010
Game: Killer7
Song: Emoticon
Composer: Masafumi Takada
Above: Emoticon by Masafumi Takada
Killer 7 is a divisive game, in large part because of its bizarreness. Like Actraiser (yesterday's Game Music of the Day), it combines two disparate genres, but where Actraiser's gameplay is divided neatly into sections of sidescrolling platformer and SimCity-style overworld creation, Killer 7's gameplay isn't so easy to describe. Its unusual, highly stylized on-rails shooter/puzzle gameplay was offputting at best to many critics, and even those who rate Killer 7 highly would agree that its visual style surpasses its actual gameplay.
So with all that emphasis on Killer 7's strikingly artistic visuals, it's easy to forget how its soundtrack also played a part in shaping its world and characters. Masafumi Takada's soundtrack is incredibly strong from start to finish, consisting of a moody, atmosphereric base punctuated with spikes of manic energy. Our first pick, Emoticon, is a laid back, loungy track with an eerie synthesized organ melody. In contrast, here's another, more upbeat dance track called Rave On:
Above: Rave On by Masafumi Takada
Aside from the soundtrack, the rest of the audio in Killer 7 is superb too, from the cackling of Heaven Smile to the vaguely unsettling, scratchy synthesized jibberish voices:
This is one of those rare games that's worth playing purely for the aesthetic even though the gameplay isn't anything special. It's a shame though that the soundtrack is mostly overlooked because the game is so odd in other respects. Somebody remix this already!
Game music of the day: Dote up a Cat
"Why do humans want sex with cats?" ponders our equine editor
Game music of the day: Red Steel 2
Main theme by Tom Salta
Game music of the day: Chrono Cross
Time's Scar, another brilliant piece from Mitsuda

Nowadays many people choose laptops instead of desktop computers. Why? Let's talk about it.
What are laptop's advantages?
1) Mobility. You can take your laptop anywhere you want and use it at McDonalds, at work or even on a beach. It's really very good and it allows people to use their time much more effectively.
2) Ergonomics. You can put your laptop on any surface you want and move it anywhere. It allows you to work even staying or laying on your bed. Desktops are much less transferable. When you put your PC on a table, you will be attached to this table only. You have to sit on the same place all the time and it may be not very comfortable and sometimes even dangerous for your health.
3. Little noisiness and power consumption. Notebooks are really much less noisy than their PC-brothers. If you've ever heard PC's noise, you know how bad it is sometimes. Laptops also consume only 35-50 Watts comparing to PC's 100-300 Watts. If electricity in your house costs a lot, it's a very good advantage.

Pontchartrain, Lake
Pontchartrain, Lake
geographical nameLake, southeastern Louisiana, U.S. It is 40 mi (64 km) long and 25 mi (40 km) wide, with an area of 630 sq mi (1,631 sq km). More a tidal lagoon than a lake, it is brackish and teems with game fish. It is connected through Lake Borgne with the Gulf of Mexico and by canal with the Mississippi River. It is spanned by the Pontchartrain Causeway, two parallel road bridges which cross the lake north of New Orleans and, at nearly 24 mi (39 km) in length, are the longest overwater bridges in the world.

Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen Monkey Around With Friends in Barbados
Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen continued their Barbados vacation with friends today. Rachel slipped into a skimpy striped bikini and took time to snap pictures of her friend with a small monkey while laughing in and out of the water. After playing photographer, Rachel sprinted down the beach to catch up with Hayden and share a few words before heading along the shore together.
Their Caribbean fun started Saturday, when Rachel and Hayden, who are going strong since calling off their engagement back in 2010, showed plenty of PDA during another beach session. Rachel is soaking up the sun during a midseason break from filming her show Hart of Dixie, which will air its newest episode tonight on the CW.

Anybody have or know about these? Does the sound carry over long distances? We ring a bell to call the dogs in but when the woods are fully leafed, the sound doesn't carry far enough.
Normally we let them run through the acreage but it is hunting season and large yellow labs can look like deer to drunk hunters! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've wanted to know about these to.I'd like to have one for Annabelle.She doesn't run loose but I would still like to use one.I'll keep reading this post. |
Yep, dogs can hear the whistle, but the problem is will they respond to them. In my opinion I can whistle myself without a manufactured whistle and a regular whistle carries longer distance than a dog whistle. My opinion, if you are worried aboout your dog in the woods during hunting season, put an orange vest on him....you should be wearing one as well....that way there is NO MISTAKING a person or a dog and tragedy will be averted. You can purchase vests on line or make them yourself... |
while we don't allow hunting out here, there will still be a stray hunter go through once in a while. my dogs all wear bright orange bandanas this time of year. |
- Posted by carmen_grower_2007 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 10, 10 at 8:51
We also use the orange bandannas but I think the vest idea is even better -- there are probably patterns for them. Do you know that the dog whistle doesn't carry as far as a regular whistle? I heard the opposite but don't know how a person could test it. Yes, they always come when called if they can hear us. |
Well,I for one can't whistle at all!I just always wanted one to try(dog whistle).I don't need the vest as mine don't go out of the yard. |
- Posted by carmen_grower_2007 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 10, 10 at 15:06
I did the google thing and found several silent whistles but all had bad reviews --- claimed they weren't silent. Would really like someone who actually uses one of these to comment. |
- Posted by carmen_grower_2007 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 11, 10 at 8:33
Now this could just be the ticket! Anybody familiar with storm whistles? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Storm Whistles
- Posted by carmen_grower_2007 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 12, 10 at 9:54
I ordered several of the storm whistles and will let you know how they work out. We are in the middle of nowhere so the sound won't bother neighbors - we just need it to carry a long distance. I made a bunch of dried deer liver sticks to train them with once the whistles come. |
Why not a regular whistle? |
- Posted by carmen_grower_2007 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 14, 10 at 8:45
A regular whistle won't carry any further than the cow bell we use now. I need a sound that carrys through woods, wind up to a mile. |
A whistle is piercing. You want to cover your ears. A cow bell, not so much. Lower pitched, rather pleasing. Whistles are louder. But, whatever. |
- Posted by carmen_grower_2007 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 16, 10 at 9:01
Received them - two short bursts and the dogs come running no matter where they are. It gets their attention which is all I needed. |

Rock The Joint: 10 Songs Aaliyah Would've Been Hot On Post-2001
Aaliyah was always one to sound amazing singing over Hip Hop beats. Legendary Hip Hop producer Just Blaze formed this T.I. and Rihanna collaboration, and it's no doubt Aaliyah would've sounded great over his production. Oddly enough, an Aaliyah/Just Blaze collabo almost happened the same day she died. Just Blaze talked via his Twitter (@JustBlaze) last year on the 9th anniversary of Aaliyah's passing and said "Aaliyah was on her way to meet me free and beans to do a remix to "more than a woman" in Miami. Dame was all hype and happy Bouncing off the walls telling us she's on her way to us on a plane. 20 minutes later I thought he'd seen a ghost when I walked into the kitchen and he got the call. Never seen a man crushed like that before.. Such a sad day.."

Traded pitcher R.A. Dickey shows mixed emotions | Baseball
A day after he was traded to Toronto and finalized a $30 million, three-year contract with the Blue Jays, pitcher R.A. Dickey talked about leaving the New York Mets and showed mixed emotions.
Dickey shows mixed emotions
A day after he was traded to Toronto and finalized a $30 million, three-year contract with the Blue Jays, pitcher R.A. Dickey talked about leaving the New York Mets.
The 38-year-old knuckleballer, who won this year's National League Cy Young Award, was a fan favorite.
"I think it's important for me to grieve leaving New York," Dickey said Tuesday. "I had a proverbial home there. I had a home among fans. I had a home in an organization. I had a lot of success there, and I think it's important for me to be sad about that for a moment before I move on to the next feeling."
That next feeling is glee about joining the amped-up Blue Jays, who have added five All-Stars during the offseason, with Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and Melky Cabrera preceding Dickey north.
"I can't tell you how excited I am to be part of an organization that's committed to winning and putting a product on the field that the fans can be excited about," Dickey said.
Dickey, who pitched for the Mariners in 2008, was to earn $5.25 million in 2013 with the Mets. The Mets offered him an additional $20 million over two years, short of what Dickey wanted.
Meanwhile, one of the players the Mets acquired in the Dickey trade, 20-year-old pitcher Noah Syndergaard, apologized for a posting on his Twitter account this month in which he used an anti-gay slur.
Red Sox, Drew reach agreement
Boston reached a $9.5 million, one-year agreement with shortstop Stephen Drew.
Drew, 29, played for Arizona and Oakland last season. He is the brother of former Boston outfielder J.D. Drew.
Casilla to stay with Giants
Right-handed reliever Santiago Casilla has completed a $15 million, three-year contract with the World Series champion San Francisco Giants. Casilla, 32, was 7-6 with a 2.84 earned-run average and 25 saves for the Giants this year.
Tampa Bay signs right-hander
The Tampa Bay Rays have signed right-hander Roberto Hernandez — the pitcher formerly known as Fausto Carmona — to a one-year deal worth $3.25 million. Hernandez, 32, has pitched seven years in the majors, all with Cleveland.
Hernandez, 0-3 with a 7.53 ERA this year, was arrested last winter in the Dominican Republic on false-identity charges that were dropped when he completed a work program. Major League Baseball later suspended him for three weeks.
Former pitcher Pastore dies
Frank Pastore, a former major-league pitcher who became a Christian radio-show host, died Monday from injuries suffered when he was struck by a car while riding his motorcycle Nov. 19 on a freeway in Duarte, Calif. He was 55.
The accident came hours after Pastore pondered the risk of motorcycle riding on his radio show, in which he discussed the possibility of life after death.
"At any minute, I could be spread all over the 210 (freeway)," he said on his final show.
College football
Reports: Badgers hire Andersen
Utah State's Gary Andersen will replace Bret Bielema as Wisconsin's coach, according to multiple media reports.
Andersen, 48, is 26-24 at Utah State. The 18th-ranked Aggies went 11-2 this season.
Bielema left the Badgers earlier this month to coach Arkansas.
AP adds to Manziel's honors
Texas A&M freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel, the Heisman Trophy winner, was voted player of the year by The Associated Press.
Thibault is coach, GM of Mystics
Mike Thibault, a two-time WNBA coach of the year who was let go by the Connecticut Sun last month, has been hired as coach and general manager of the Washington Mystics.
The 62-year-old Thibault's previous jobs include being a college men's assistant coach at Saint Martin's in Lacey, a Sonics scout and an NBA assistant coach.
The Mystics, 11-55 over the last two years, cut ties with coach/GM Trudi Lacey in September.
Superstar Messi gets extension
Lionel Messi, 25, agreed to a new contract with FC Barcelona that will keep him with the Spanish powerhouse through 2018.
Messi, a three-time world player of the year from Argentina, has scored a record 90 goals so far this year in club and national-team matches.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Fact Sheet: The Open Government Partnership
"In all parts of the world, we see the promise of innovation to make government
more open and accountable. And now, we must build on that progress. And when we
gather back here next year, we should bring specific commitments to promote
transparency; to fight corruption; to energize civic engagement; to leverage new
technologies so that we strengthen the foundations of freedom in our own
countries, while living up to the ideals that can light the world."
--President Obama, September 23, 2010
The Challenge
In his address to the United Nations General Assembly in September 2010,
President Obama spoke of open economies, open societies, and open
governments as the "strongest foundation for human progress." He
recognized that the work of strengthening democratic government requires
sustained commitment, and that countries around the world are taking
innovative steps to better serve the people they represent. He issued a
challenge to the leaders assembled in New York to gather together again in
September of 2011 with specific commitments and plans of action to promote
transparency, fight corruption, energize civil society, and to leverage
new technologies.
Answering the Call
Responding to the President's challenge, a group of governments and civil
society organizations spanning the globe have come together to form the
Open Government Partnership (OGP), a new multilateral initiative that
supports national efforts to promote transparency, fight corruption,
strengthen accountability, and empower citizens. At the core of the
Partnership is a commitment from participating countries to undertake
meaningful new steps as part of a concrete action plan, developed and
implemented in close consultation with their citizens.
Led in its first year by the United States and Brazil, OGP is a unique
partnership with a steering committee composed of governments (Brazil,
Indonesia, Mexico, Norway, the Philippines, South Africa, the United
Kingdom, and the United States) and civil society organizations (Africa
Center for Open Governance (Kenya), Instituto de Estudos Socioeconomicos
(Brazil), Instituto Mexicano para la Competitividad (Mexico),
International Budget Partnership (international), MKSS (India), National
Security Archive (U.S.), Revenue Watch Institute (international),
Transparency and Accountability Initiative (international), and Twaweza
The Launch of the Open Government Partnership
Today in New York, President Obama and President Rousseff hosted the
formal launch of OGP at an event with Heads of State and senior officials
from 46 countries. The high-level meeting focused attention on the shared
challenge of improving governance, and demonstrated a strong political
commitment around the world to the kinds of reforms necessary to enhance
transparency, fight corruption, and strengthen mechanisms of democratic
The eight founding governments embraced an Open Government Declaration in
which they pledged to advance the core principles of open government. And
each government presented an action plan with concrete commitments to put
the principles of the Declaration into practice.
The Partnership also welcomed the commitment of the following 38
governments to join OGP and deliver their own action plans in Brazil in
March 2012: Albania, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia,
Croatia, the Czech Republic, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Estonia,
Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Latvia,
Liberia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro,
Netherlands, Peru, the Republic of Korea, Romania, Slovak Republic, Spain,
Sweden, Tanzania, Turkey, Ukraine, and Uruguay.
Each of these countries has already demonstrated a commitment to open
government across four key areas - fiscal and budget transparency, freedom
of information, asset disclosures for public officials, and citizen
engagement - and published a formal letter of intent to participate.
The Open Government Declaration
The Declaration is a high-level political statement by the leaders of the
eight founding governments of the value of openness, and their commitment
. Promote openness, because more information about governmental
activities should be timely and freely available to people;
. Engage citizens in decision-making, because this makes government
more innovative and responsive;
. Implement the highest standards of professional integrity,
because those in power must serve the people and not themselves; and
. Increase access to new technologies because of their
unprecedented potential to help people realize their aspirations for
access to information and a more powerful voice in how they are governed.
Eight Action Plans
Today, as part of the formal launch, the eight founding governments
delivered action plans pledging new commitments to promote transparency,
empower citizens, fight corruption, and harness the power of new
technologies. Each action plan contains detailed commitments in a wide
variety of areas, developed by governments in consultation with citizens.
Among the highlights, the action plans include commitments to promote:
. Effective management of natural resources revenues: The United
States will join the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI)
as an implementing country - forging a new partnership between government
and industry to ensure that taxpayers receive every dollar they are due
from the extraction of our natural resources. (You can view the full U.S.
National Action Plan here.)
. Delivering public information: Brazil will develop several
activities toward increasing active transparency and open data, including
restructuring the Transparency Portal and launching the Brazil Open Data
Portal, in order to converge to the appropriate environment for future
enactment of the Access to Information Law.
. Gender equality: Norway will promote gender equality and women's
full participation in civic life, the private sector, public
administration and political processes, including by: following up the
recommendations of the government white paper on equal pay; launching an
effort to have more women apply for top posts in the private sector; and
undertaking an initiative to strengthen the role of women in local
democracy and develop a gender equality program with all municipalities.
. Open data: The United Kingdom will promote improvements in
outcomes and accountability in the public sector by transforming the
rights of citizens to obtain data from public authorities and establishing
standards and frameworks to embed a culture of transparency in the UK.
. Citizen participation: The Philippines will extend participatory
budgeting across the government to 12 government departments and 6
government corporations by 2012; establish an empowerment fund to support
bottom-up involvement in development planning and budgeting; and
institutionalize social audits as a tool for monitoring the implementation
of public infrastructure projects.
. Service delivery: South Africa will enhance the capacity and
capabilities of communities to access and claim their socio-economic
rights through the roll-out of national public education campaigns and set
up "Service Delivery Improvement Forums" in all nine provinces to provide
timely citizen report cards on service delivery at the community level.
. Public integrity: Indonesia will pursue an ambitious effort to
bring greater transparency to range of critical areas that have been
sources of corruption in the public sector, with commitments to publish
basic information and performance data for the police and public
prosecution service, the tax court, the immigration office, the customs
office, and the land administration office. They will also increase the
transparency of civil service recruitment.
. Government transparency: Mexico will increase the publication of
socially useful information in four key areas - budget allocation,
security, education, and telecommunications - in order to strengthen
public integrity and public participation, and to enhance the oversight of
performance in the education sector to improve educational quality.
The Domestic Open Government Initiative
In addition to committing to implement EITI, among the highlights of the
U.S. National Action Plan:
. The White House recently announced the launch of the "We the
People" petition platform to give Americans a direct line to voice their
concerns to the Administration via online petitions. In addition, the
White House plans to publish the source code of the recently announced "We
the People" petition platform so that it is available to any government
around the world that seeks to solicit and respond to the concerns of the
public. This will foster greater participation in government.
. The Administration will launch a platform called ExpertNet that
will enable government officials to better communicate with citizens who
have expertise on a pertinent topic. It will give members of the public
an opportunity to participate in a public consultation relevant to their
areas of interest and knowledge, and allow officials to pose questions to
and interact with the public in order to receive useful and relevant
feedback. ExpertNet will foster greater collaboration within government.
. The Administration will continue work on a new civil service
personnel category (or job series) for officials who specialize in
administering FOIA and other information programs. It is important to
recognize the professional nature of the work done by those administering
FOIA. In addition, the Administration will expand the use of technology
to achieve greater efficiencies in FOIA administration, including
utilization of technology to assist in searching for and processing
. Recently, Congress nearly enacted legislation that would
eliminate loopholes in existing whistleblower protections, provide
protections for employees in the intelligence community, and create pilot
programs to explore potential structural reforms in the remedial process.
The Administration will continue to work with Congress to enact this
legislation. But if Congress remains deadlocked, the Administration will
explore options for utilizing executive branch authority to strengthen and
expand whistleblower protections.
. The Administration will launch an initiative that will recommend
reforms and require reporting on current records management policies and
practices. The initiative will consider changes to existing laws and ask
how technology can be leveraged to improve records management while making
it cost-effective. The initiative will seek a reformed, digital-era,
governmentwide records management framework that promotes accountability
and performance.
Brazil 2012 and Beyond
Six months from now, on March 5th and 6th, 2012, Brazil will host the
second high-level meeting of OGP. A group of countries - including the 38
who expressed their formal intent to participate today - will endorse the
Open Government Declaration and deliver their own action plans to
strengthen the pillars of open and accountable government.
The founding governments are committed to continuing the Partnership
beyond Brazil, with commitments from the United Kingdom, Indonesia, and
Mexico to chair the effort in subsequent years. OGP will work actively to
expand the ranks of participating countries, engage civil society and the
private sector, and to help countries deliver meaningful reforms that
increase government accountability, effectiveness, and efficiency.

With the resulting sense of change, growth, and uncertainty, I felt the need to keep this project as personal and true to myself as possible. I couldn't be happier with how everything took shape and I hope it's as enjoyable to watch as it was to make. Filmed over the past fall and winter in North Carolina, Maryland, Texas, and Japan.

A company here in town is hiring for the position I am in, and it would be a really nice boost in the money department. But they want people that have experiance with Sisco systems, Smart Net was specifically mentioned. I work with a lot of systems here at my current job, SAP, J.D. Edwards, the old AS400, and others that I could not name.
Any one work with it, is it hard to pickup, (i guess that is a subjective question) meaning for a non programmer type, mostly windows based programs in my past.
I don't want to pass up a chance to try for this, but then I don't want to wayste my time or theirs either.
Thanks in advance.

"Enjoyable but not as great as the first"
I did enjoy this read and I don't regret purchasing it but there were a few plot and audio issues that I had. First, it became VERY annoying to listen throughout 75% of this book how everyone relied so much on Georgia and how their life had ceased to be anything without her even 5 years later. It was very unrealistic. Yes, she was a great character but for people to be this crippled?! The plot was just too overdramatized.
I was also throughly disturbed at the change in voice for Perry. In the first book she had a French accent and was presented as very European, this book, she has a southern accent and you discover she's black?!
There was less knitting in this book but there were some patterns offered at the end. The author was trying to delve deeper, I guess, with these characters and less about what the first book was based on, knitting. It was a good continuation but I was a little let down by the tone and movement of this book.
"Deeper Than a Fairy Tale"
I really like how you picked up on the original story, but it was more than that. Yes, it's set in a fictitious future, but who Cinder is and how she evolves is a much deeper process. I like how it can be retrospective as well.
I couldn't figure out how she was a "princess" until later in the story and I like how that thread was woven.
The different voices and accents really give the characters life and more of a personality.
The title I wrote.
"Jasper Fford has some good company"
Yes, I loved how the alternative universe was portrayed in this story, the way the mystery started and Gshtalt.
I liked the whole relationship/dynamic between Myfawny and Gshtalt. I also liked how the American counterpart was introduced into the storyline.
Her character voices, the way she pronounced the different words in the book that would have hung me up if I read it, the pace and flow of the intense scenes.
Yes! I wanted to just sit and imagine the storyline the whole day.
I thought this book sounded a little lame when I read the plot, but sound bite peaked my interest a bit. I didn't have high expectations going in and I was blown away by how well the story reads. It looks weird, but once you get into this universe, you have no idea how amazing it is.
"Disturbing, aggravating, couldn't stop listening"
Yes, I thought the story line was intriguing, compelling and I would want to see if I could pick up on the clues even sooner.
I liked how it wasn't a laid out, get to the end mystery. There were twists that became more disfigured as the story played out.
The scene where Nick plays the performance of his life to get the "villain" to come back to his house and where she's shocked he pulled on over on her.
Hell Hath No Furry Like a Woman Scorned
This book has a lot of people divided by the last half of the storyline. I felt that going into it knowing some of the twisted part made me love it even more because it was like sitting in a movie, seeing someone is going to get their head chopped and you scream (futilely) "Turn around! Behind you!"
I think knowing who the bad guy was before it was revealed really made me want to figure out how it was discovered and how it ended. I think if you read this book going in blindly you would grow to hate it, because it messes with your head.
Heck, the ending alone messes with you - but it was so awesome!
"The laughs keep on coming"
This was a great conclusion to this part of the series. While it does show the side of the story we didn't know about in "Call me Irresistible" and doesn't disappoint.
While not as funny as the other novel, it is a more introspective approach to what went on with Lucy.
This story doesn't move as quickly, or as smoothly as it predecessor, but it does conclude in a satisfying way.
The novel is read with great speed and animation. My only complaint is some of the voices are a little shrill and lines delivered a little too campy. But overall a great feel-good book.
"It Read Like Living with Queen Eleanor"
I loved this book and this is one of the best historical fiction novels I have ever "read". Alison Weir not only has a great ability to tell a beautiful story but to also weave in the true details in a way that make it engaging and wanting to know more about other characters you meet. I was looking up historical accounts of her story and was finding that anything with actual fact, really did happen. The only difference between fact and fiction was the specific dialogue (except for what King Henry said about Thomas Beckett).
I wish my history classes were like this because it was like watching a TV show in my head about all the captivating things this queen and strong woman did in Middle Age England.
"Beautifully Narrated, a Little Slow in Story"
I absolutely loved the first book and this follow up story was ok. The story moves a lot slower than the last one then all of a sudden, at the end there's a rush for the plot to move toward the next book.
Both books are long, but the plot is pretty stagnant with the author describing a lot of how Elizabethan England and notable figures were really like. While that is all well and good, I would space out and come back in when the action was going. The other part I wasn't too keen on were the other plot snippets that would come back into the book but then nothing ever happened with them again.
I really enjoyed the telling of 1590s England, it's one of my favorite historical periods and Jennifer Ikeda does a great job telling it. It was a necessary bridge book to understanding more of Deborah's explanation of Vampires and Witches as well as the origin of the book but didn't take 24 hours to get there.
"So good you can't press stop"
You know a book is good when you sit in your car after you park, so you can listen for a few more minutes.
Nora Roberts wonderfully weaves tragedy, mystery, comedy and love in this tail about a young woman who tries to take back her life after the unthinkable happens.
I really liked Brooks more than Abigail/Elizabeth. Her paranoia and fear, while founded in a good reason, got on my nerves after awhile. However, the pace and flow of the story really keep you entertained.
The narrator has a great reading style and voice differentiation. She does male and female voices without detracting from the characters.
All in all, a definite worthy read. While it is predictable, it leaves you satisfied and wanting to hear more about how Brooks and Abigail live their lives.
"Made me wish I had magic in my blood"
The storyline blew my mind! I was apprehensive to get this book once I read reviews that it was an "adult twilight" book (I refuse to read the series and I'm not into those kind of vampire books).
Nevertheless, I forged ahead and got it - what a great move. This book is not only magical, but it's also a very smart read. If you love historical fiction, science fiction and any part of fantasy, this book is for you.
The narration was solid with wonderful accents and colorful characters. It flows like a mix between.
The best way to describe this book was a mix between Ken Follett, Ilona Andrews and Meg Cabot.
I can't wait for book two.
"Wonder if Meg Cabot got Bored"
I LOVED the first book of the series and was so intrigued with Meg Cabot's take on vampires. This book while much shorter, was slow, unclear and suddenly ended.
Emily is a great narrator and really delivered in this book - it wasn't her fault the story did have much subtext.
It starts out really exciting and action packed but about a 1/3 of the way through, one starts to lose interest. I was anticipating a deeper plot line when they mentioned the Jersey devil - but it really didn't take that fun turn into story land.
I did enjoy how we got to know Alex more, somehow he turns out alright. But if there's another one of these stories coming out, it needs to be more like the first.
"Best Ilona Andrews Heroin, yet"
I really loved the struggle and love story in this book. What's great about it, is there is a lot of adventure/action, a progressive maze of a story, with the right sprinkling of love. I think it's the best of the series.
It wasn't only action packed, it had a ton of mystery and intrigue. The wolf portion of the saga is so great, you see it in all three books. This one doesn't let you down, it gets you more interested in the stories.
The narrator was great and really got male and female voices down. It was such a great book, I thought the story could have gone on longer!

If you can't answer that, then you can't say the figure itself is incorrect, only the means used to arrive at it.

You know, every time I see someone on a forum defend PHP, they eventually admit that they write PHP for their job. If you have a vested financial interest in PHP, it's understandable that you'd have a desire to defend your source of income, but it doesn't change the fact that PHP is objectively a terrible language. Just because the PHP bashing is old doesn't make it wrong.
Re:You shouldn't. Nobody should. (240 comments)
Are people seriously defending the use of PHP in 2012? You talk about testing when PHP doesn't even pass all its own tests according to the official website.
PHP's creator has publicly stated that he is not a programmer and is not interested in being one, that he didn't set out to create a programming language, and so forth.

The constant defense of their actions is getting really silly.
Google really needs to do some soul-searching. 2012 has just been a year of controversy after controversy, and we're not even halfway through. Larry Page's attempt to force social networking throughout Google products, as well other initiatives that it's hard to imagine the old Google embarking on, have put a sour image on the company lately.

Re:Bad enough I pay for microtransactions in MMO's (734 comments)
No, you won't have to pay for "every damned little thing in the OS". Windows 8 is targeted at tablets and PCs without optical drives, which are increasingly common because movies are in digital download formats today, so it makes sense to not have to include that functionality in the shipping OS. You're not going to be paying for every little feature, and there won't be a window popping up telling you that you need to pay for expansion packs--you're falling for the baiting headline hook, line, and sinker.
Slippery slope arguments are almost always bogus because you can turn practically anything into a "what's next" statement that exaggerates the original situation and makes it seem worse than it actually is.
The way the market has gone (734 comments)
The headline is trying to incite a backlash, but this is a reflection of the decline of optical drives and the rise of tablets. Apple has also gone down this path by not including optical drives in the MacBook Air. I don't find myself that concerned since it's literally been years since I watched a DVD, and all my movies are digital.
Presumably, the expense that was previously included in the cost of Windows will not be in Windows 8. I say "presumably" because I'm sure Windows 8 will still inexplicably cost over $100 or whatever.

Has anyone used this soap in homemade laundry detergent? Did you like it better tahn Fels Napa? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's been awhile since I made homemade laundry detergent, but I found ZOTE to work better than Fels Naptha. As a plus, it's MUCH cheaper at 90-cents a bar, and I love the citronella scent in ZOTE. The ingredient in Fels Naptha that made it work so well on laundry has long since been removed because it was a "nerve toxin", although that ingredient, naptha, can still be purchased in the paint department at the hardware store and is an excellent cleaner. ZOTE has optical brighteners to aid in keeping your whites looking bright, which aren't in Fels Naptha. Homemade soap mixtures, by their very nature, can lead to soap scum build-up and dingy-looking whites, so this is a benefit. Homemade laundry soap formulas are missing corrosion inhibitors, enzymes and chelating agents found in today's detergents and may not perform as well. If you have hard water you may find your clothing will get cleaner if you use the hottest water possible for the type of fabrics you are using, and use an extra rinse to aid removing the soap residue, and possibly even using water softener products. After using homemade laundry soap for a period of time I would have to switch to a regular laundry detergent to get the soap scum build-up out of my clothes, then I'd go back to homemade again. When you experience soap scum build-up on clothing, the effect is like adding sandpaper to your fabric. You'll find clothing will wear out quicker using homemade laundry soap mixtures. If you line-dry your clothes and they are stiff and scratchy, that's a sign you have soap scum build-up. If you have a front-loading washing machine, homemade soap may not be recommended for use in it. The fat content of the soap you use, or the amount of suds you get from the products may be a potential problem in a front-loader. Check with the manufacturer because using homemade soap mixtures in a new washing machine could void the warranty. Another plus with ZOTE, I cut the large bars into 8-10 small bars and use it in the shower. -Grainlady |

Thanks Grainlady! Actually, Walmart has 2 bars for .97, which is why I got it. I did have the problems with the soap buildup, and used Tide for a while, and the clothes seems to be OK. And thanks for the heads up re: line drying. I do line dry as often as possible. (I used Charlies for a while, and loved it, but unfortunately, at the present moment, I can't afford it. :() |

Thanks Grainlady. You are always such a wealth of knowledge. Everything you share is very much appreciated. *I read that the reason the napthalene was removed from FelsNaptha was that despite the warnings, people were bathing in it and making shampoo from it. I wouldn't doubt if this were true. A lot of things get removed from the market because of a few people who did not use good sense. |
We have found my husband to be allergic to Zote but not to Fels Naptha. On another note he is allergic/sensitive to most laundry soaps on the market but seems to do fine on home made soap unless it is Zote. Additionally, the only laundry boosters we can use are borax and bleach but only if the bleach is used sparingly. |
If you are worried about the build up, I found that using white vinegar in the rinse helps and then I rinse the clothes again. I will look for Zote. Homemade detergent is great for me to use for my girls are allergic to everything but the "free" detergent and the fabric softeners. |
I have used grated Fels, and Zote, and have a HE washing machine,although top loading, and have found no residue at all. I also use Borax in every load. |
I have been using homemade laundry soap in my front loader for quite some time now. Almost a year, give or take a month. I wouldn't go back to the store bought for anything. I have very hard water and iron. Even with a water treatment system, I couldn't keep the laundry from getting stained. After some experimenting, I discovered that I could make a formula that, while still natural, was better for my laundry. I use Fels Naptha for my laundry soap. I haven't yet tried Zote. I have used my own homemade soap when making my laundry soap. I worked just as well. I an not sure if this helps any, but it is my two cents. |

I've been making homemade laundry detergent with Zote and my hubby says/thinks his whites are getting dingy from it.... :( So I switched to a recipe that uses Dawn in it, but not sure how safe that is for clothes washing. Just wondering if there is an update on the Zote....I am using the pink one if that matters. |

imsoconfused- There are generally two reasons this happens, especially when using homemade laundry soap. Not enough soap or detergent is used, or the clothes are not thoroughly rinsed. 1. Do you have hard water? Hard water + soap that doesn't get rinsed out = hard water mineral deposits (aka soap scum) that will make your whites dingy. If you line-dry your clothes and they are stiff, then you have a soap scum build-up. Use a water softener product in the wash AND rinse if you have hard water. You may also need an additional rinse on a regular basis to remove the soap. Soap is more difficult to rinse out in hard water than detergents. So you can see what you think you are saving by making your own laundry soap, you will quickly spend on additional laundry aids or additional water for an additional rinse. 2. Do you use the hottest water possible for the type of fabrics being washed? Homemade mixtures work best in hot water, so that will add to your utilities for additional expense from using homemade laundry soap. If you are washing in cold water, especially in the middle of winter and it's extremely cold where you live, or you have extremely cold well water, homemade mixtures don't perform well. Your clothes are getting wet, but without some action from the soap, they aren't getting clean. "Cold water detergents" are specifically designed for cold water, but water colder than 65-degrees F is not recommended for washing because soap and detergents will not activate and clean effectively. Some washers will mix hot/cold water to get the optimum temperature for laundry detergents, even if you sit the machine on cold wash. Cold water is around 75-80-degrees F. 3. Not sure about adding Dawn. Isn't that defeating the purpose of saving money.... It's not a whitener, but a pretty good degreaser, but that's not the problem. I would be afraid it produces too much foam, especially if you use a HE machine. Zote has whitening agents in it, but not enough to help if there is soap scum build-up. 4. How to remedy. If you try this remedy, you'll have a better idea what is causing the trouble. Wash the white clothes in the hottest water possible for the fabric type. Hot water is considered 120-140-degrees F. Add enough water softener to make the water feel slippery (about 1-cup for a top loading machine, 1/4 c. for a FL). Don't add any detergent or soap. If the water becomes sudsy, the clothes were not rinsed enough. Wash them again adding only water softener, which will help loosen the soap scum and remove it from the fabric. If the clothes do not whiten, add a commercial detergent, or more than normal homemade soap, and rewash. Hope that helps you out. Homemade laundry soap is not a perfect science for laundry needs. Save money with it, but you may need to learn live with dingy whites if you happen to have hard water and use cold water for washes. You may need to use twice as much per load to get enough cleaning action, especially if you have hard water and use cold water for washing. For each additional add-in you need, the cost of it goes up as well. -Grainlady |
One way to remove soap build up is with 1 1/2 cups white vinegar in wash load. |
sparkela- An extra rinse is going to be less expensive, and probably more effective, than 1-1/2 cups of white vinegar. It would be difficult to put that much vinegar in a front-loading machine. You may enjoy this old thread about adding vinegar to laundry. In the thread I mention using 1/4 c. vinegar to my F/P washing machine (which will be 13-years old in November). I recently had the h/c valves replaced. -Grainlady |

Today version 4.2.3 has been released. After this development is likely to cease completely. This version fixes minor bugs, removes useless references to the non-functioning server feature and offers the ability to import from the backup directory without searching manually in the user directories. If you want to take over further development, send a message to the project admin.
The project A-Note is looking for you!
Bring it to a new stage by programm a working server script or make the gui portable.
For further info check this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/a-note/forums/forum/1044693/topic/3517704
After the project's revival one month ago I managed to make a few minor fixes and therefore can proudly present version 4.2.2!
This shows - it's going on! Stay tuned or even better - join the team!!
Happy christmas!
I wonder if there are any out there who knows a little on programming Java fr mobile-phones?
I belive that it would be very nice to have a tiny program in the mobile-phone that can download the notes from the server and maybe upload knew notes.
If you have any idea or know how to do this, please contact me at:
Finally the webpage has been updated.
You can find it here:
Thanks Aaron.
Finally a release where lots of things has happened. I thank you all for giving me positive feedback and ideas. The program wouldn't be where it is today without you...
I have included a recycle bin so you can restore the trashed notes.
You can also set which toolbar-buttons you want to use on the note
Try to include the slide to right button and press that one and see what happends. Pretty cool :)
A couple of bugs related to dual monitors and docking has appeared. And since I don't have two monitors I can't find and test the bugs.
I would be very happy if anyone who has the time could look at theese problems.
I think that A Note's homepage should need a facelift. If you think that you can contribute contacte me at email@example.com


text: Founder of the Sulpicians, born Paris, France, 1608; died there, 1657. He was graduated at the Sorbonne, and soon became a favorite in fashionable society owing to his remarkable oratorical gifts. A complete conversion to God followed shortly, when his failing eyesight was miraculously restored at Loreto. Associating himself with Saint Vincent de Paul he began to labor among the poor of Paris. Having assumed charge of the notoriously vicious parish of Saint Sulpice, he, with a few disciples, effected a thorough reformation. He opened a small seminary in his presbytery, 1642, to prepare additional workers, and drew up a rule of life. Later his zealous companions carried his methods throughout France, and the institute still takes charge of ecclesiastical seminaries or offers aid temporarily for diocesan work. There are Sulpician seminaries in Baltimore, Washington, Menlo Park, California, and Montreal.New Catholic Dictionary

Why to expect compassionate conservatismJun 4, 2008 (Updated Dec 24, 2008)
Popular Products in Books
The Bottom Line Although it is often thought strange that conservatives should be more compassionate the progressives, in terms of psychological typology it is very much expected.
From $5
The American sociologist Arthur C. Brooks is well known for his extensive studies of charitable giving. His 2006 book, Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism surprised many with its finding that conservatives gave much more to charity than liberals, even allowing for differences in income. (Differences in cost of living, which my 2007 essay Hip Pocket Politics showed determine political and social beliefs, were unfortunately ignored) In this essay I will aim to show here that, in terms of psychological typology, it is to be expected that conservatives will be more compassionate and more caring than progressives. Personality theory, ever since its development, has defined several distinct psychological types according to a number of systems. The most familiar system is known as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (after Isabel Myers and her mother Katherine Briggs). This system is based upon four polar opposites or "preferences", known as Extroverted/Introverted, INtuition/Sensation, Thinking/Feeling and Judging/Perceiving (the letters in bold are the standard abbreviations for each preference). In this system, each individual is given a type through assigning one letter of each pair, for example ESTJ. Some formats of this system allow for one - though I assume no more - of these letters to be replace by X. Each preference in MBTI affects one aspect of a person's character. The E/I preference affects orientation towards the world, with extroverts being more focused on the outer world and introverts on the inner life. The N/S preferences refers to the way in which the person perceives information, with intuitives doing so through abstractions and sensers through physical senses. The J/P type refers to attitude towards the world, with judgers preferring settled organisation and perceivers an open attitude. The most important preference for the purpose of this study, however, is the T/F preference. Thinking types tend to rely on reason and are generally concerned mainly with finding the objective truth in any given situation. Thinking types base judgment upon all the facts and data they find about the situation under study. Because they are very concerned about the objective truth, thinking types tend to rely on an individual's own laws to make decisions. They tend to be uncomfortable with concepts of inherent natural laws because they believe the objective truth must be considered above all other considerations. Laws for the thinking type relate to the particular situation and are always relative to it, culturally conditioned and never applicable outside that culture. They are generally uncomfortable with decisions based around emotional or personal considerations, which they generally view as leading to a biased analysis of a problem. Thinking types generally therefore believe in being as truthful as possible and at times this can make them fanatical and exaggerated - consequently hurting or even scaring more sensitive types. In extreme cases, overdeveloped thinking types can lose objectivity and feel as though their opinions are more important than anything else, at times even trying to force their opinions on other people. In general, thinking types are socially liberal. A number of factors explain this. Because thinking types analyse a situation using reason, they are generally the type of person who will discover new ideas that could be used to solve problems. Moreover, because they lack deep emotional ties, they are comfortable with radical changes whenever they see them necessary and are not personally affected thereby. Thinking types also often focus on what needs fixing, even in some situations where there is actually little need to change a situation. In such cases, thinking-oriented people can be highly impractical, although they generally have a better grasp of reality than feeling-oriented types. Their ability to grasp reality, however, very frequently makes thinking types such efficient managers that they develop a belief in self sufficiency leaving no room for generosity or emotional ties. Feeling types rely largely on their emotional reaction to a situation. They do this in a very personal manner, being concerned with whether or not something will hurt themselves or other people in any way. They are extremely sensitive, deeply empathetic and easily wounded, longing for deep, ideally permanent emotional ties. Because they hate others being in pain, feeling types have genuine desire to help and care for others as directly as possible. Hence, many enjoy working in the caring professions and/or working for and giving money to organisations devoted to relieving such problems as poverty or disabilities. For this reason, feeling types are likely to enjoy working in charities or for specialised volunteer groups much more than thinking types do, generally believing action much more effective than management to prevent social problems. Hospitality, generosity and contributing personally to the welfare of society by giving their own personal resources to those in need are thus virtues of great importance to feeling types. (Thinking types, in contrast, often believe voluntary work is an excuse for failing to correct the social problems that necessitate it.) This extremely personal, relationship-oriented focus makes feeling types strong believers in natural laws, which they see as protecting individuals and creating "natural communities", most significantly of course the family. For this reason, feeling types believe that it is extremely dangerous to experiment with new social structures that the thinking type may see as necessary in the event of major social or political changes or problems. To the feeling type such changes will be a major source of pain for the vast majority of people around him/her. They believe this will hurt people in manners the thinking type does not consider through disrupting the emotional - especially familial - bonds that hold a society together. They will suppress thinking that contradicts their own deep feelings no matter how much it is supported by empirical evidence. For this last reason especially, feeling types tend to be socially conservative. Feeling types are poor with management work as it is much too logical for them and they hate others managing their personal affairs. Inability to plan difficult jobs and unwillingness to rely on complete strangers whose potential aggression they fear frequently leads feeling types to "clinging" behaviour. "Clinging" makes feeling types still more conservative than people who are via savings and thrift completely self-reliant and believe government should never interfere with business. In situations with which they are uncomfortable, feeling types turn to government to protect family and community. Examples of such "protection" are John Howard's "Baby Bonus" or the building of uneconomic roads to give cheap land and spacious housing. (In a sense, the huge American cars of the 1960s and modern 4WDs are highly symbolic of the feeling type's need for space to protect his/her emotional sensitivity. Both can be viewed as a "shield" between the feeling type and the outside world of hard-hearted insensitive people). Family formation is, as I mentioned in Hip Pocket Politics, a major breeder of conservatism and requires deep emotions for stability. Thus, (relatively) feeling-oriented cultures concentrate where land is cheap and comfort available without excessive discipline, thrift or public welfare. Today, the only places meeting these requirements are Australia and parts of the United States. The requirement of any of these for prosperity is indicative of an environment with limited or no resources for an industrial economy and tends to lead - in one way or another - to a worldview that believes people should either gain help via taxation of the rich or hoard money and self-consciously reduce consumption in order to support themselves in the long term. Both alternatives produce a personality that is highly thinking-oriented because extreme self-reliance (to store enough money for long-term prosperity) or ability to accept frequent radical change is required - to an extreme extent in Europe and East Asia, whose societies have since the Industrial Revolution developed values that view compassion and empathy as vices. Such a viewpoint leaves no room for voluntary charity or work, but because hurting people is not viewed as illegitimate as it would be by a feeling type, it allows for belief that radical disruption of the political system is the best solution to crises. This radically thinking-oriented viewpoint puts much more pressure on governments to respond to the needs of those who are not rich. Assertiveness of the majority explains the high minimum wages and effective environmental policies of northern Europe, especially Scandinavia (where aggressive, anti-religious "black metal" is a major cultural force and the perfect symbol of un-compassionate self-centredness). Although the factors outlined above go a long way toward explaining the compassion of conservatives, Brooks' research in Who Really Cares showed the key issue to be religion. Who Really Cares shows secular conservatives - who as a group resemble in some ways the culture of East Asia with its emphasis on thrift - as no more compassionate than secular liberals. Religion is clearly related to the thinking/feeling preference. Traditional religious bodies are highly feeling-oriented and require extreme self-sacrifice and especially submission of will. Submission of will and opinions is acceptable to the feeling type who will view it as helping others, but utterly unacceptable to the thinking type whose highly logical viewpoint does not allow for restrictions on what may be read. Moreover, the emotional insensitivity of thinking types means they will never consider potentially harmful effects of intellectual ideas as a feeling type would. Differences in religiosity thus serve to enhance the differences in compassion inherent in the T/F preference. Traditional religion is thus highly feeling-oriented: the God of the Bible is a very rare type of highly personal feminised male. This fits in with the fact that feeling types have traditionally been much more common among females than males, and attendance of religious services has been correspondingly greater. Recent studies suggest thinking types are becoming more frequent among women as their religious attendance declines. This firmly suggests that the secularisation of the developed world outside Australia and Red America is masculinisation or defeminisation. (The fact that feeling types have not become correspondingly more frequent among males demonstrates that - contrary to common perceptions and viewpoints amongst both Left and Right - masculinisation of women does not cause feminisation of men. The rise of black metal in Scandinavia where feminism is most advanced, suggests the reverse is the case.) Who Really Cares showed no gender differences in charitable giving, but defeminisation of women rather than absence of thinking/feeling influence is the most likely explanation, though another possibility is the inherent cautiousness of women that may be seen as another side to their generally security-oriented nature which is often criticised on the Right (for instance in John Lott's Freedomnomics). In summary, personality psychology clearly shows that compassionate conservatives and un-compassionate liberals are to be expected for the simple reason that feeling-oriented, compassionate types are inherently highly conservative. This conservatism is largely due to their strong belief in personal rather than outside responsibility for social problems causing distrust of government and belief that individuals and especially communities must take responsibility for social problems. |
